Input: and join the rest of them in the front. So he's going to start climbing up the side. Ha-- Woo-- I don't know what we're doing. What are we doing? Baby-- Where you going? Are you trying to get up here? Yeah, get up on the edge there. All right, give me athletics or acrobatics. You're going to pass a little thing of dick gems on the way. I have a 11 passive perception. Just goes: Ooh, pretty! And then keeps going. Baby. Oh. That's a seven. Uh-oh. Ay-yi-yi. What's more important to Dariax in this moment, making it up or preserving himself? Oh, making it up, he has no sense of self-preservation in this moment. Cool. Roll a d4 for me. Okay. Two. Yeah, yeah, you take two points of scrape-y damage. Ah, ow, ow, ow. A little bit on your palm. Ooh, it's the worst. That kind where you're just like, "Ah, it's fresh." Yeah, yeah. Aw, I hate it. Then, let's see, as a bonus action, he's going to look over at Dorian across the way after he's been plucked and held in the air, be like: Don't worry, we all believe in you. You're our fearless leader and you can do this. Oh, what? He's going to give him a d6 bardic inspiration die. Yeah! Taken a few levels of training up under his buddy here. Aw, baby boy. Baby boy. Little baby boy. I told you, pursuing a life in the arts isn't worth it! I've done nothing worth anything, so I'm not changing anything in my trajectory. You hear a guitar string go. Yeah. Okay, thank you. Incredible. That's going to be my turn. Aw, shit. Perfect. Opal. Now, does Ted, do we have the same abilities? No, Ted has a different skillset than you. I think it's still worth it. I'm standing close enough to her, right? I'm standing pretty close? Mm-hmm. Within five feet? Yeah, you're within melee. She keeps interposing herself between you and very specifically Morrighan. Okay, I'm going to say: Ted, first of all, you look great. Second of all, I know you're just trying to help. But I'm going to cast Darkness on both of us. So Darkness is an AoE. What does that mean? So you pick a point in the world to cast it on. Right where I am and she is. Amazing. How big is the AoE? How big is your Darkness? I get to use. I'll tell you. Thank you. I'm so happy. Oh. This is so good, I never get to play with these. Okay, so 15-foot radius. 15 radius. Mm, no. Centered entirely on you. That's going to catch everyone. Oh no. Oh no. Do any of you have the ability to see through magical darkness? Magical darkness? No. Not darkvision. Yeah. No, I don't. I do. Aw, you creep. That's awesome! How long have you been planning this? My god. Fuck me! I love it. I

Input: see holy symbols that are hung on the edge of iron spikes that are jammed into the ground that hang and dangle, where at the end of the chain, you see swinging a medallion of the Duskmaven. You can see all manner of captured holy imagery. You can see all manner of captured holy imagery that now is set upon the outskirts of this site as a warning and as a sign of pride that any who steps beyond-- uh-- Do see-- Changebringer? -- stops here. Do we see any symbols of the Changebringer? With your perception, it takes a little bit of a walk and you have to get a little close to the edge to really pick it up with as little light as there is. But you see along one of the torches that matches the perimeter there, one of these ever-burning magical torches flickers, you see the familiar sight of what looks to be a cloak that, as it hangs tattered and torn as it flows with the occasional breeze, you can see the familiar symbol of the Changebringer, her face still standing there from the side, looking off to some unknown horizon. I'll grab it. Can we find a place to lay low for a little bit? We're not there yet. Yeah. I am going to-- I still have 3rd-level left and I don't know if it'll work here, but I'm going to try Sending. Okay. See if I can send a message to Silas. We're back. We're at the surface of the Malleus Key. Just trying to find a way to get back to you. Doesn't take too long for her to respond. (sigh of relief) That is wonderful news. I'll be at the encampment as soon as I can. Can you get there safe? Oh, that's not how this works. (stammers) I'll-- watching. I love it! 40 years using this spell and still don't fucking got it. Shit, yeah. The encampment, the encampment, the encampment, the one we were at before? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was one of a number of encampments that had been built on the outer perimeter of the Hellcatch surrounding the space where a lot of the-- staging grounds? Yeah. Where what military might is being spared at the moment from different nations and city states and such are being sent in preparation to both keep an eye on the site and, previously, help give you the smokescreen to make your infiltration. Is it evening, did you say? It's evening, it's dark. Okay, so it is getting dark. So we can stealthily maybe make our way out. At some point, we're going to hit it. From where you're standing now, this would be a great time for-- Are you sure you don't want to use a deception check to try and get around? Hey, fuck off. Hey. I love that. Hey. Hey. Hey, fuck off. Yeah? They were such a cute couple. Yeah. #goals. Hey. K-O. But you still have a Pass Without a Trace. I do. So we could use that as we wander away. Yeah, I do, I do. Just like you planned it.

Input: don't sense any different. Nothing seems to be shifted, elevated, diminished, beyond just the trail of adrenaline that's still pumping through your system post-discovery this morning. A lot of screaming. Yeah, more talk of dreams and what we can craft from them. Did you get that, uh, did you get that? Shit. Fuck. It's not every night. No. But, uh, but... ticking clock. Do you think this is they're counting it based on the individual, or like, uh, we're-- they're counting it between us? Are we growing exponentially here? That's probably not right. Growing--? In ability, in power, or-- In the amount of eyes. Amount of eyes. I mean, it's all conjecture at this point. The only thing I'm feeling is that we need to-- whatever plan we are going to cobble together, we need to do it fairly quickly and act on it. Good morning, everyone. Morning. Good morning. Hey. Can you reach out to Lucien or any of the other Tomb Takers? Have you tried to connect your mind? It's crossed my mind, but I haven't tried. I'm willing to try, though. Hey, asshole. I don't know, how would we know? I could try scrying on him and see. Ugh. I hate it. I feel icky when I try to do it, but I could. Think he can see through these? I don't know. It doesn't seem like he needs to see through these. He can see, anyway. I think with his magic, though, he knows exactly where you are. So what are we going to do today? We could get some shopping done. This is as good as it gets for supplies and anything you need. Wait, where are we again? Rexxentrum. Thank you. Get around. Heading to Nicodranas soon. One of the last two stops, as far as I know. Yeah, is Nicodranas sort of our jumping off point for when we're ready to go? Actually, I need to go home before we-- You need to go home? I do. Okay. Why? It was a piece of the puzzle. I don't know. I had a dream. A dream. Do you have eye-- do you have an eye? I have two. No! You know what I mean, Aria! I look in his armpit. I lift up his armpit. It's just a birthmark. It's not shaped like an eye or anything. If anything, it should probably be looked at. Smells like sandalwood. Yeah, it does. Thank you. A little eucalyptus. I wear a little, well-- It's been a day. I had a dream that made me think that there's some connection. That there's something I should see. I don't know. I wasn't planning on going home, but I think I have to. A connection to the Astral Sea, to Lucien? To what we're fighting. I don't know. Was it connected to the forest we saw? I think it was. The one we burned? Yes. Is it bad that I burned it? You think I made it worse? No, I genuinely think we did the right thing. Okay. But... I don't know. I didn't want to go home, but I think I have to. Do we need to go there before Nicodranas, or--? That's up to you. Well, I think we should just agree

Input: to press harder into it and I will think the words, you won't be with her for long. Ooh! Impressive. Eek. You never feel what that does. But deep in the pit of Opal's stomach, something shakes a little queasily to her. And we come back from that. You are holding those gems in your hand, that's your action. Okay. You still have the rest of your movement and a bonus action. All right, okay. Those dicks are yours. They are protected. To keep. You all saw that beautiful moment. I will, okay, so I-- thank you. Just throwing gem stones at people, like what. Great, so-- Like Pride. I have the rest of my movement. Where can I get-- It's not much. I would like to walk up the wall, because I can. Do you enter the darkness? Not the darkness, the one behind me. The wall with the other gem on top of it. Yeah, okay. Right where that gemmy gem is. I'm getting the little sticky guy. So you can get up there and be, I just want you to be safe. I want to be further away. Well, actually-- I'll stay close to Morrighan. You want to be here? Yeah... yes. Then I will just, again, spend a-- No, I won't spend a ki point. Bonus action, eh-- Dodge, dash, disengage. What the fuck? So many things. Thinking in character voice is my favorite thing. Excellent, because I can't stop this completely unplaceable accent. I am Fy'ra Rai. These are my friends Dodge, Dash, and Disengage. I have no idea who I am or what is happening. Great, so from up there, I'm going to survey the scene and I'm... Yeah, I'm going to survey the scene. So I can get a good vantage point of where everything is right. Okay. Fantastic. I love that. Opal. It's time to turn this up a little bit. Oh, naur! Legendary action, you get to decide. Do you want to act, do you want your sister to act? Do you want the spiders to act? Or do you want the Spider Queen to act? Oh shit! Oh no! Not the Spider Queen. Nothing happened last time. It could be better. I feel like, well, Ted can't see in there. Correct. I'm the only one that can do anything. Or the spiders. Or the spiders on the outside. I mean, I don't want to do it. Aimee doesn't want to do anything. Yeah. I mean, Aimee playing Opal doesn't want to do anything. Aimee who wants to maybe have a friend sit by you soon? Um, okay. So, da, da, da, da. I am going to... You know what? Fuck it. Let's leave it for a roll. Okay. Make a wisdom saving throw. Okay. Ooh. 11. You feel this potential. You know the thing, like you are the secret scared thing inside your own brain right now. I think you understand Ted better than you ever have before. Okay. There's something external to you that presses in on you, it's massive, it's overwhelming, and it leans in, it grabs you. Not by your clothing, but by the bones of your ribcage and pulls you in and says, watching.

Input: the Wildmother to protect. She's still feeling that loss of that one person that she was so connected to who now apparently doesn't just hate her, but wants to kill her. Conflicted. I think over the past few weeks, this should be the scenario for Dorian that he thought he wanted: freedom, adventure. It's not so much the situation that's dragging his mood down these days because he's glad to be surrounded by his friends and he's glad to have friends truly for the first time ever. But as he's had more time alone and as he feels the group start to drift, he's starting to come to a realization that's unsettling for him and that he's missing something in this equation that he thought would lead him to the right answer and its purpose; and I think it's something he ran from months ago, something he felt like he didn't have and wanted and wanted to just forget about. As he looks around at these people that he's grown to love and growing to love and being with, he's starting to wonder why he's here for the first time ever. Yeah. From drifting to searching. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think Opal is in a strange, almost dreamlike existence where I think she's losing the thread a little bit. I think there are moments of clarity, and when there are those moments, she works overtime to be more herself around her family because to be more herself around her family because she feels like if she can keep it together in that way then she has some sort of control over it. But I think, much like when you're in that space, that space between falling asleep and being awake, it's all very confusing. In the moments where it feels a little more dreamlike, I think you may catch her with a far away look on her face or maybe murmuring to herself. It's very concerning to her, but she's not wanting to alarm anyone yet. What was that? Opal, I like that you said dreams because I think your dreams were the thing that went first. It is not that you go to sleep and have nightmares, but I think in your youth you would go to sleep and dream or have a nightmare and have some memory of it upon waking, even if it slips away across the day. But every night now, for two weeks, you go to sleep and you wake up exhausted as though your body has been tense, moving. Recovery is difficult and whatever happens from when you close your eyes and give yourself over to sleep and waking is a void and lost. Anytime you reach within yourself towards Ted, towards whatever that connection is for clarity or understanding, the first thing you notice is that every dawn, if you reach for Ted, she is exhausted. If you ask her, if you press, she tells you little and less. She doesn't want to worry you. It's not your fight. And that's the important thing. You know there is a fight happening and you have no recollection of it. Two weeks, and now you're on the road again, traveling long days down the road, exhausted. It is at some point, just a few days into your journey towards Zephrah, towards purpose or adventure or whatever comes next after your last big quest, you feel it. Something inside you breaks. Too tired. Too much holding it together. Your mind is yours and Ted's and hers, and she

Input: You've already helped us tremendously in making it even better than it was when we started, and that will continue forward as we're eager to see what you think about the latest changes. So thank you so much. Uh, Open beta. Yeah. Open beta. Open beta. I believe that concludes our announcements. Oh no. I want to eat cake. So let's go ahead and jump into tonight's episode of uh-- Arthur's a taco. Watching-- Critical Role. ♪ Critical (it's Thursday) ♪ ♪ It's Thursday night ♪ ♪ One-by-one, we climb until we reach the top ♪ ♪ Two-by-two, we fall ♪ Will we meet our end or meet our destiny ♪ Hold your breath and roll. How do you want to do this? Uh, it's Thursday night. All ye Critters, come join us. It's time to continue our plight. There is magic and mystery. Who knows what will happen. He might.

You can certainly try. It's Thursday night. All ye Critters, come join us. It's time to continue our plight. It's Thursday night. There is magic and mystery. From darkness, our friendship will rise. But one thing's for sure. We never give up on the fight. Oh, get ready (get ready). It's Thursday night. (flames crackling) And welcome back. So, last we left off, Bells Hells, after making contact with the Volition, agree to aid them in a number of their current simultaneous goals against the dark leaders of Kreviris in hopes of gaining information and aiding the revolution against the Ruidian tyrants. Upon these missions, much information was gained, some dangerous circumstances occurred, and yet you survived and endured and began to flee the city as chaos began to erupt from within. During this time, after calling towards your mother and sending her into a personal crisis about what's right and who to align with, she scattered off into the dark shadows of the caverns. As you fled towards the surface through some of these winding rock tunnels, you were hunted by Otohan Thull, the Legend of the Peaks. During this fight in which your terrifying foe unleashed her true capabilities, many of you fell and barely scraped back from the edge, but one of you did not. Derek, the friend and ally who had recently come to truly realize his worth sacrificed himself to save the rest of you and to fell for good the foe that had long hunted you. In that fugue numbness of realization, you grabbed what you could, what remained of him, and what you could from what remained of Otohan Thull, continued to flee to the surface where you emerged. There amongst the red Ruidian landscape, the distant storms roiling, Liliana descended from above, and seeing the hurt in your face and all of your faces, realized what had likely transpired. It was here, still not truly grasping or processing what has happened and what

Input: rushed past you. Okay. I don't know if I'll still want to do Guiding Bolt by the time it's my turn, but... Up to you, then. You can change before you get there. What's the lighting like in here? For the humans and all that. thank you. For the humans, it's low light. Aside from the orange little patches you see of where the different colors of orange are, there is a 10-foot radius of bright light around it, and then it is low light everywhere else in the chamber. Okay. Does low light means we cannot see anything, or... uh, no, it just means for perception checks, it's at disadvantage. At a certain point for details beyond that... Range attacks might be involved, but, you know, let's see when we get there. So, anyway, Beauregard. What are you doing? Wow. I just lost feeling in my knees. I would like to swim up to it, I guess. I would like to swim up to it, I guess. Right up front here? God punching. How much speed was that to get there? Yeah. 25. Okay. Can I get on top of his head? Can I get on above it? Sure, yeah, I'll let you do that, since you have enough speed as a Monk. Jeez. So as you swim up over, as you rush up over, you feel the heat blasting out of its mouth as it lights up the front of Julian as you skid past, the water around its mouth itself is almost boiling. As you move up, you see the four eyes in the head watching you as you swim past them, and then above you can see the massive collection of coins and knickknacks and pottery of coins and knickknacks and pottery and weird furniture, all sorts of all things that have been collected over time by Vokodo. What are you doing? Okay, okay. I'm legitimately light-headed. I'm going to swim up over him, and I'm going to try and use one of the things that's attached to his back to give me some leverage to come down and power-bomb him from above. Go for it. Yes! Both fists out. What are we doing? Oh god! Pop pop! Okay! 27 and 18. Both hit. Oh, that's good! 18 hits. 18 hits. Low AC. Come on, you guys. Let's kill Vokodo. First attack. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay. First attack is an eight, so that's cool. 14 damage. Stunning Strike. 14 points of bludgeoning damage, Stunning Strike. Ah, all right. He's going to go ahead and use a Legendary Resistance to not be stunned. Legendary Resistance. One Resistance down! So nervous. Has he got three Resistances per round, or three Resistances? We don't know. You don't know. But he just used a Resistance. I love it when you give us the nonchalant, "You don't know." I love it. He just used one. The wiggle that comes with it. With the Stunning Strike. Second attack. Wow. The opposite in the spectrum, seven damage. Okay. Seven damage. A Stunning Strike. Success. Okay. It's a 16, right? What's your DC on that? 16. 16. Flurry of Blows. Go for

Output:
- Kaelen swam up over the dragon Vokodo to attack from above using leverage from objects on its back.

Input: do that? Someone? Anyone? Surely amongst the 14 of us. Somebody can. We can figure something out. Yeah. Arthur can totally do that. She's going to-- Is anybody outside or is the storm very big right now? The storm is very dense outside right now. Uh, okay. I'm going to Polymorph myself into a dire mole. Dire mole? A dire mole? Okay. Hell yeah. Yes. This is how we got to Xhorhas. You don't remember, you guys? Not quite. Think it was a purple worm, but-- Well, no. I mean, but the mole is, I'm really big, like a dire mole. A giant one. Moles dig in dirt, not through rocks. This is basically dirt for a dire mole. This is your plan? Yeah. Okay, let's see it. So you step outside of the chamber and then transform into this massive, dark and threatening-looking mole entity that's probably 15 feet from tip to toe. It is massive and muscular, and you watch along its back, these spines protrude from it like it's somewhat crossed with a thorny nightmare beast. Shuffles over to where the tunnel entrance has been sealed off with densely packed broken rock and fallen bits of the tunnel entryway and begin to shift aside and start burrowing and digging. The heavy stone takes a minute to get used to, but it's more about finding which part of the path is still a lot of loose Ruidian earth along with the stone and dust that takes up the space, and once you find the path of least resistance, you begin to dig further and further. The rest of you watch in pretty quick time, big heaping armfuls of rock and dust. Whoa. Wow. He's a big boy. Within a few moments, you don't even see the mole creature, but you keep seeing the dust leaving this ever-growing pile. This surrounding like an arena wall that begins to grow higher and higher around this portion, until eventually, part of it crumples to one side and you see the mole step out from within, Arthur having managed to dug through rather rapidly. Would I still look like a Reiloran Polymorphed into a mole, or would I have just looked like a Reiloran doing that the whole time? You look like a, I'll say like a mole with the illusion of Reiloran somewhere inside you. It was inside you the whole time. Okay, once I get through the cave-in, I'm going to turn myself back into Arthur. Reiloran. The illusion remains, yeah. I'm going to crawl back out and tell everybody to come through. You are remarkable at making, at destroying things. Thank you. That's very impressive. Sometimes it can be used for good. Oh, yes, it can. If you want to learn the ways of destruction. I do. Then follow me. Oh. All right, sure. All right. No, but really, follow me. We've got to go. Okay, let's go. You begin to pass through these familiar tunnels that weave-- I know. It's always mustache begins to curl on one side. Start-- I knew it was going to happen. I'll fix it at break. You look like a hipster. You do. He looks like Schmitty.

Output:

Input: sound. forceful whoosh. You feel this immediate impact, like someone had punched your gut, but without pain, just the air forcefully leaves your chest for a second. Your lungs-- gasps for breath. As you inhale, you feel the red landscape bend inward and then, forceful expansion, as it reflexes back out, you're standing at the base of the Bloody Bridge. Oh no. You can see yourself standing there in the moment. There are other soldiers. There's quite a large military presence surrounding you, but none of them seem to be reacting to your presence. But at the center, within stone's throw? Within a 10-foot walk-- from the Bloody Bridge. You are right in the middle of the military encampment you landed at when you arrived at Ruidus. Oh shit. What the actual fuck did you do? What are we going to do when we get to the other side? Act as if-- Act as if, act as if. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. What do we do when we get to the other side? Find those who you can trust, and find me when you need my guidance. I'll see you in your dreams. Now go, quickly. I can't hold this long. Oh, shit. I got one health point. Let's go. Let's go. All right. There's no choice. We've got an army around us, so when we go-- All right. I hate this. This is not what we were-- laughter. I hate this. You see this faint trickle of blood curling down her nose as she's concentrating. Does it look like she's time stopped or something? Are people-- It looks like their surrounding space is-- You can see guards there, but as they shift, it's super slow. Whoa! Oh fuck! Oh, her flex on them! Amazing. I mean, fuck her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's so cool. laughter. Can you learn that? I want all of her power! laughter. Maybe we just harness-- questioning potion gulp.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. running start and leap. You're all leaping, one after another, into the Bloody Bridge. As you're stepping through, you hear in your head-- That was clutch. I'm sorry. launches. Take off into the sky. The rushing of the energy pulling you up through the scattering sense of power itself. You see other things going rapid travel coasting by from the opposite direction, as from the outskirts of the rushing red energy, like the push of a massive fire hose of magical power pushing you back towards your home world of Exandria. It emerges and all of you whooshes end up now standing at the base of the Malleus Key's top. At the top, the little stairs? The little stairs. You all emerge here. As you glance around, it is evening, you're not sure where. With some clouds in the sky. What's going on around us? Yeah, look around. I'm going to take a

Input: a worryingly similar story. Not of me. (laughing) - That's so crazy. So my little brother had a sleep over with one of his friends. And I was the one who was, I'd stay out awake a little longer than I should have. I played on my Game Boy, whatever. And our house, the floorboards creek really fucking loudly. And obviously I've been in this house for years, so I could tell, based off what creek, where someone was in the house and where they were coming from. And what point they were on the stairs, what point they were like some kind of fucking Dare Devil shit, except only for my house. So I heard someone who kept walking to the middle top of the stairs and then back to my little brother's room, and then back to the stairs, and then back to my little brother's room really slowly. And then after this happened twice, I was like, "What the fuck?" So I went and I watched, and he just walked to the top of the stairs, mumbled something and then went back. What the fuck? And then he went to the top of the stairs, and this is where I was getting worried because I'm like, "What if he just like falls down?" - Yeah, yeah. That's dangerous. - So he just starts walking down the stairs really slowly, and this is where I was like, "What do I do?" Because I didn't know what you're supposed to do when someones sleep walking. I've heard loads of, you've heard myths like, " IF you wake them up they can die.", or something. So I was like, "It seems like he's doing it okay." I didn't want to wake him up because what If he wakes up be like, I would. I'd jump. - It's like, "Think fast." - "Haa. You're awake" (laughing) I was like, " Shit. What do I do?" So I see that he starts walking down the stairs but doing this thing where he's going back and forth, so I'm like, "Guh." And I saw that he was mumbling, so was like, " I think he's sleep walking." So I go, I follow him, and he's going down the stairs really slowly, and he gets to the bottom of the stairs, and so I go to the bottom of the stairs and then he opens the door to the living room and just goes in the living room. This is like the fucking, I don't know, this was a horror film. He stood there, pitch black because I didn't turn the lights on. - Oh, my God. It's so scary. - All I had was my Game Boy SP Advanced, so I light the thing. (laughing) I didn't want to turn the lights on because I didn't want to- - Think Phasmaphobia. - I was like, the shitty max brightness slider up, trying to figure out what's going on and I see him. And he's just standing there mumbling for a good 10, 20 seconds. And I'm freaking out because I'm like, "What do I do?" Do I go and wake my little brother up, do I go tell my parents? Because I don't know what he's going to do. So I was just watching him, making sure. Bare in mind, I was 14, 15. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And so he's standing there in the middle of this living room and then just slowly starts walking towards the T.V and then walking back to where he was.

Input: to unload a hellish payload of the gods' smite. I cannot even begin to imagine. I hug her. What if they pull you away again, though? Then you know what to do. How will we talk to you? I feel like if I try to talk to you in a dream, then they'll hear everything. I think if you're not here, we can find each other safely. I think we can do that safely. Then stay. You stay. It's odd. You see a combination of heartbreak and relief wash over her. There's that glimmer in her face where you see part of her, part of her really did want to go with you. I don't mean to interject, just a question. I would love to, like Gwen said, believe everything that you're saying, but if you've really been trying to slow this down and we seem to know your heart of things, this whole mind stuff, they just jump in and out of people's domes. Are they going to be able to tell your true colors now? They haven't fully trusted me because I don't think they can. In fact, I think the Weave Mind, the Weave Mind and Ludinus have a unique dynamic the Weave Mind and Ludinus have a unique dynamic and Ludinus was the first Exandrian to make contact with the Weave Mind, about three centuries ago, from what they told me. It was through them he was able to talk, too, about The One Who Sleeps. But they both use each other for their own ends. I think they do so knowingly, thinking that they'll be able to pull the final piece. I think it's that dynamic that's helped me play the mother hen to a certain degree. But the Weave Minds don't trust us Exalts. We saw them. They saw us. Yeah. Briefly. Right before you showed up. And what of Otohan? Was she just a rabid dog? Right after you showed up. Sorry. Otohan was one of the possible vessels, one that I don't think we have to worry about anymore. How many more possibilities are there? You certainly had no control over her. Gosh, I hope that's true. Awakened... maybe four. But I know they're trying to instill some of the other dormant powers to reach their true potential. How do they do that? Through turmoil. Through training. Ludinus often needs those, but he's not even here right now. Where's Ludinus now? I know he's on Exandria. Insight check. Make an insight check. I'll aid you while staring at you while you stare at her. 23. 23. She's being pretty straightforward. All right. Evoroa peeks up, breaks from her shaken staring and, I think I, I think I know where he is. Great. How? I think I know. Part of what I was working on with him was put on hold because-- I've been tangential to his work. Me and a small other team, we've been assembling this, these devices he'd been bringing from Exandria, a Vanguard and other-- What's he called them? The Assembly defectors. Gathering this tech from underneath some of the nearby factions back home for you folk and... There'd been some problem. Something had been taking up home in the source of these pieces, and I know he mentioned something about having to deal with this, this thing. Ms. Temult, it sounds like

Input: do that as a teenager? - You only eat one place. - When I was a teenager I did think it was really cool. And there was an all you can eat buffet one time, and the pizza. - Did you wear buffet pants? - What? - Like stretchy pants. - There's an all you can eat buffet pizza chain here in Japan as well. Yeah, called Shakes. - Oh, I've heard of this. - That's American. - In Bubby, they have that. - Can we go back to the buffet pants? What the fuck is the buffet pants? - I didn't even hear that. (all laughing) - She said buffet? - She was like, "Did you wear buffet pants? - They're just sweats, so you can put the elastic band over your stomach when you're done eating. - That sounds like the most American invention I've ever heard of. - Everyone did it in my circle. - In San Francisco? - In my circle. We were like, "Let's go to the buffet." And then we change her pants. - I remember we went to a- - (laughing) Oh what? What? - This sounds like a parody. - No, it's real. It's real. - Are you serious? - Well in my friend group. - Did other friend groups do this as well? - I don't know. - Was this like a just your friend group type of thing. - No, it was like more than 20 people. - How much does a buffet cost in San Francisco? - $40? - $40! - This was like eight years ago though. - Well, it's only gotten more now? - $90 now? - Eight years ago? - Yeah, that's how much Vegas buffets are. They're like 40, $50. - Holy fuck! - Are they worth it? - They don't taste good. - Don't eat those ones. - The high-end ones though where you pay a little extra like 80, $90 is like worth it. - $80, $90 what the fuck? - So do you get like sirloin steak on demand? - Yeah, actually. - It's about the crab. - You actually get like top tier food at those buffets. - All right okay. - But the $40, $50 ones in my opinion, maybe half the time not worth it. - Two grand and then spend $90 on steak. That's terrible. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that sounds alien to me because like in the UK, I don't think that kind of buffet exists. Buffets exist as like a cheap alternative, to eating a lot of food if you just wanna order a lot of food. You either eat a shit ton of food. It didn't really care about the quality. - But there are a lot of Indian Curry buffets because in SF certain areas. - Pretty much every buffet in the UK has Indian Curry in it. - Oh really? - I'm gonna be honest there, they're pretty bad though. They're really fucking bad. - I would argue that pretty like 90, actually I don't think I've ever been to a good buffet place in the UK. In terms of like, this is good food. You go there, to eat a shit ton of food, and you trick your brain, into thinking it tastes good because you're eating so much food. But in reality it just tastes like shit. - I think that's most buffets. (all laughing) - I'll just hate like the whole plate situation with buffets. Because when you get a dish right, that you've hand selected, it's normally perfectly

- The group generally agreed that UK buffets are of poor quality, with one person claiming they have never found a good buffet place there.
- The discussion concluded with a preference for hand-selected dishes over the buffet style, as the latter often tricks the brain into thinking bad food tastes good due to the volume consumed.

Input: going there, Gideon? Clara: Well, it's just, I'm working real hard to just get under this gate. Maeve: All right. DM: The rest of you just watching and waiting? Maeve: Well-- Julian: I tap Arthur's arm. You should maybe alert the rest of the group. Maeve: Well, I cannot do that. Julian: No? Maeve: No, because if I do that, I will lose my mental connection with Gideon. Dorian: (laughs) Maeve: Plus, I can only do it, establish it with somebody that's within view. Julian: Okay. Elias: It's been a while. Julian: Well, I'll cross my fingers instead. DM: At about the 10-minute mark, you try and push through. Clara: (grunts) Elias: Big ol' butt. DM: Make a strength check for me. Maeve: If she gets stuck-- Cedric: It's still Gideon's booty. Maeve: -- under that damn door the same way she did on the other one. Cedric: Yes. Clara: Ooh. Eight. DM: She gets stuck under the door. (exclaiming) Clara: Okay, I'm going to try to see if there's anybody inside that I can just smile at. (laughter) ERIKA: Is she okay? Clara: Try to charm. ERIKA: That's a lot of little leg kicking! Maeve: She's charming. DM: So the gate is about that thick and you dug underneath the majority of it and your head just pokes out this way, but your midsection is just stuck. You guys can see these little legs kicking in the area beneath. Maeve: Gideon, how you doing there? Clara: Just give me two more seconds. I think I can do it. Maeve: Okay, because I can always pretend you're my pet that got away. ERIKA: Yeah. Maeve: If that helps. DM: No one's paying attention to you yet, though, you do see in this entry courtyard, you get a quick glance as you're staring out there, there are all manner of training dummies and weapon racks. You can see three unattended skirmish-crawlers, the ones with the center wheel in the front and the large, almost clawed horse-like hooves in the back. You can see there is a large area where a bonfire at night would largely be lit, but it's just been set up with flammables in preparation for the night. You can see there are about five guards that are in different places, just one person's over there with a whet stone, sharpening weapons. Two others are over there just snacking on some sort of dried meat, like a jerky, and conversing. And there are two others that are just patrolling the interior of the courtyard. Maeve: How far away is she? DM: From you guys? Depends on how far away you've been watching her dig. Maeve: I don't know. DM: Depends. Are you right against the wall or are you watching from across the road? ERIKA: I think we're-- Maeve: Across the road, probably. DM: So 25 feet. Maeve: Okay. Okay. I am going to use my telekinetic ability and start digging the dirt out from around her-- Clara: Foomp. Maeve: -- and try to move the dirt. DM: Okay. Starting to wiggle a little more. Clara: So close! DM: You look out there, one of the guards patrolling nearby-- Maeve: Fuck. DM: -- doesn't notice you. Maeve: Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. ERIKA: Is it always like this? Maeve: Yeah. Julian: Pretty much. DM: You come out the other side and you're now inside the courtyard. Clara: I did it! Maeve: All right. Clara: Okay. Maeve: Well, you're cute and noticeable, so move fast. Clara: Okay. I'm going to skitter to where I think

Input: get where we are. "I've only come to realize the barbarism that has been explained as necessity and I'm well aware of the horrors that they are and I wrestle with that guilt in any part that I have aided unaware. Uh, keep wrestling. I'm too deep in this to just walk away. I have a question. When did you become a follower of all this? What happened enough to where you decided to leave your daughter? I went to the-- Went to the Conservatory in Jrusar when I was having these dreams, these visions. I was afraid that it meant I was just going to bring something awful upon my family. So I asked for some sort of guidance. Through these studies and this research, eventually I was visited by Ludinus, who had a personal interest. Sure. That makes sense. Then, if I'm going to be honest, he was a teacher. He was a guide. I was scared, I didn't know what was happening. For a number of years, he helped me learn to control, to ground myself, to feel like maybe there was something, something important, something I was meant to do that could free myself of this burden and free you of it, too. I just didn't realize what, what was being done until I was already unknowingly complicit. Now, I'm just trying to figure out what's right and what, what can be done. It's never too late to leave, if you're uncomfortable. Just putting that out there. With all due respect, Miss Temult, we've all been through quite a lot. Forgive any of our rash comments. But I do fear every moment that we are here diminishes the chances of us getting out of here. We should go. Do we have your word that you will lead us on this side? There's nothing in this world more important to me than you. You're the reason I chose to even go on this path. Not of your fault, but my own. Is that the truth? Because obviously, there's something more important to you. You say you want to go home, you say you miss it. I see you. I see you. This is home. You spend enough time in a dark place, you forget what home looks like, and that doesn't mean the yearning is gone. Especially when it finds you again. Don't put that choice on me, then. You want to find your place, you come back. If you've found it, then you can stay. But please, help us, wherever you are. I will. This is your chance to prove it, then. Looks like we all have a lot to prove, make good on. How can we get away from the city safely? Give me your hands. I'm in. Okay. Evoroa reaches out and grabs in. (forceful whoosh) There's this immediate rushing of air and sound. (forceful whoosh) You feel this immediate impact, like someone had punched your gut, but without pain, just the air forcefully leaves your chest for a second. Your lungs-- (gasps for breath) As you inhale, you feel the red landscape bend inward and then, (forceful expansion) as it reflexes back out, you're standing at the base of the Bloody Bridge-- (gasps) -- carving upward, up towards Exandria above. You are still in the middle. Oh no. You can see yourself standing there in the moment. There are other soldiers. There's quite a large military presence surrounding

Input:
you know, they were very kind to me.
Who are they?
I have-- And I pull out, I have a little locket, and I open it up, and there's a picture.
Of one person or two?
Of two.
Okay, what do they look like?
Of...
There are two figures. Well, they're a gently drawn, painted portrait. Both of them are unfamiliar to all of you, except for you.
(gasp)
(gasp)
Lore, lore, lore!
(siren wails)
There is two familiar portraits of the Calloway parents that birthed you.
The Calloway parents? Her parents?
Mm-hmm.
(gasps)
Oh, oh, oh!
Uh-huh.
How do you know them?
From the Feywild. Do you know them?
Yes. Yes, those are my parents.
What?
Wait, I don't know, I don't understand. What do you mean, you saw them in the Feywild?
Yeah! They helped me get back to this other side.
Recently?
Well, time's a little fucky, but yeah. I mean...
Yeah.
I don't see it.
Yeah, and I know that they're somewhere around here.
They're here?
I think so.
Did you know that?
They came through with you?
We got separated.
How?
Here in town?
I don't know! I don't know how fey bullshit works!
Did you pulled apart there or here?
On the way through the portal.
Okay, wait. I need some context.
These portals-- Were you running from something? Was it a very leisurely trip? Were you in a rush?
Yeah, I mean... Okay. So I was there, and it was amazing, and it was incredible, but it's really fucking scary over there.
Oh.
There's all sorts of politics and lights everywhere. It's beautiful and amazing, and I just wanted to be there forever, but also, I don't know how much time has passed since I went there or since I've come back. So this really lovely couple took me under their wing and showed me around and showed me how to get back. But I guess the portals are just unpredictable.
Oh shit.
They're your parents?!
Yes. Yes. May I see that a little closer?
Yeah!
Did they talk about their daughter?
No. They didn't say anything about having a daughter. They told me that they felt like, you know, I... It's not important, but it's... Do you know where they are?
I don't know where they are, and I've been looking for them. But maybe they just forgot, because it's been a very long time since I've seen them.
You don't seem like the kind of person that somebody would just forget.
Oh god, Gideon.
Well, I just... Do they look the same in the picture? Older or younger than I remember them?
These particular portraits are copies of portraits that you recall at a young age, so these are them in their prime.
Well, this is Mama Birdie, and this is Papa Ollie.
Birdie and Ollie.
Birdie and Ollie!
They're very wonderful, but I haven't seen them in a very, very long time.
How long?
Probably about... Oh, maybe 90 years.
(gawks)
Something like that.
Gideon, is that how they looked when you last saw them, or are they...
It's hard to tell. Yes, but you know, this is a drawing, so they could look--

Input: set of three arrows. He's going with the dice jail dice! You should not have done that. Do I add proficiency and-- uh-- Proficiency and your dex mod. 11. This one arcs. It almost gets near the target, but ends up veering off to the right and ends up vanishing behind one of the secondary targets near the tree. He says, "Yeah, that was better than your father." What is that? 12. This one hits the actual base of the far target. Misses the target entirely, but it hits the actual plank of wood that's holding it up. See, the beads have a little bit of like, gold embossing, etching inside of them. Far target. 15. It hits the bottom of the target. No bullseye, but you hit it. He's like, "That was actually very good." Shut up! I don't need you to condescend to me! Give me another one! Right away, little missy. Grabs three more arrows. I slap down the silver for it. Thank you. Yeah. It was two, right? One silver for three shots. I put down two silver. Six more shots, all right. There you go. She won't need six more shots. Two, in quick succession. 20. As you pull back, perfect bullseye into the farthest target. There's this brief pause as the guard spins around and goes, "What-- " I'm not done! I get four more shots! Two in quick succession to the middle one. Is it still disadvantage to the middle target? Middle one is not at disadvantage. Oh, well then. Should I reroll? Okay. I will still use your shitty dice. Two 23s. Both arrows-- we're talking, like, Disney Robin Hood-style, one arrow, next one splits the first arrow. The guard's still recovering from the first bullseye, he's like, "What?!" Then two more. To the short one. 16 and a 21. Both hit at the same time. The guard looks slowly over towards you. "Well done." Now go home and get your fucking shinebox. Here's your doll. And the sword? Two swords. Two swords! I thought it was the rats-- Two rats. Double rats! Double rats, yeah. That's it? Because I thought that was dinner. We have-- We're not eating the rats. We'll find some other dinner, Kaelen. It's my favorite. You now have in your inventory: two rats in rat cages, two wooden swords-- You can have both wooden swords. Oh, thanks! Kaelen, do you eat rat a lot? A hand-stitched doll of King Bertrand Dwendal. That's a really good doll. Oh, it really is. Would you like the rats? Well, were you going to eat one? Well, we can share. Alive, or do you cook it? No, I like to have it cooked. It falls off the bone. It's like a nice-- Oh, I can wait. I guess. It really depends on what you have at your disposal. Yeah? Later. It'll be a celebratory-- we could candy them. Or caramel them! Let's try it. Can I start to wander away towards the Allhammer? Look, guys. I'm Molly. Look! I want to go over to the military booth. Don't cut yourself! While this is happening, Dorian, you make your way around the large forum, and there you see the Hearth of the Allhammer.

Input: What if-- That's a lot more logical and sensible. Spit-balling, uh, spit-balling. Part of it makes me sad. What if you go in to talk to the General, and Wolf-Man Chet is invisible with the little cage bead. You keep the General and folks busy and you go find our target. But do remember, that cage bead doesn't keep him small, they turn into a giant, human-sized rolly ball-- of cage. Wow, I think that really changes the plan. So instead. You take the hole. You roll him in the hole, roll it up and get out. Oh my god, wait. 10 minutes. You got 10 minutes to get them the fuck out of Dodge. 10 minutes of air. That's pretty good. Okay, so Gwen and I will be talking to Ratanish. Put him in the ground, push him in the hole, gather it up. Gwen and I will be talking to Ratanish and sort of mind melding him to go get Treshi. You're just there, invisible, until you're needed. When Treshi comes out, we nab him, we put him in the hole and we bring him out to our awaiting getaway vehicle, correct? Or we just walk away? Or there's a vehicle waiting to spirit us away quickly. Okay, I think I'm going to go with the robit and Gwen's team. I think that's where I'm going to go. Everybody else? Which one? Which? Chaos or sensibility? It's chaos and chaos. Yeah, chaos or sensibility. I think this is a great idea. You know? That one sounds like the least amount of things going wrong. Keeping the General occupied. I think you just talk him up. Pretend like you're taking him up on his offer. Rowan finds this guy, rolls him in a hole, invisible, walks out. I can get in easy invisible, but as soon as I do anything, like try and put him in a sphere, I become visible again. Oh. Then we'll just have to-- We need-- something greater than that invisibility. I mean, I'll be a goddamn werewolf, but you know-- I can only open up so many throats. How often can you be invisible? I can be invisible for an hour, once a day. Once a day. But when you do something, you-- Yeah, if I attack or cast a spell. So we're settled. It would literally-- That's a little bit more tricky, okay. So the only way to do it would be to-- Again, this is a fortress. I like that we're trying to come up with an idea in the same day, but we've got days before your parents get here, the Gorgynei on the outskirts of the city, there's also Joe's to go to and we could surveil one of these gargantuan things walking around and rob that fucking thing. You know, we don't have to be hasty, but I'm also here for hasty. So, I am new here. Welcome. But I will say-- That you all come up with a bunch of-- You make a bunch of very, very good points. Some better than others. I think-- Thank you. What I'm hearing is that we go in with a group, with as many people as

Input: -- then it would be only two other people. Okay, then I'm fine. Okay. As you allow your mind to expand, you bring down the barriers that you're so used to reflexively keeping up for your own protection. In doing so, that muttering static, that perpetually aggressively simmers at the outskirts of your perception begins to filter in. Through that wave, that rush of energy, both euphoric and energetic, but also loud, the two voices begin to whisper through and find their way to your ears from beyond. There are two individuals, male and female. One of them is in the process of counting. The other one seems to be bored. She's contemplating a slow morning. Do I recognize them? Neither of them from what you can tell, no. What's the ball say? Shit. It's pointing in the direction of this tent. Outlook cloudy. Huh? Outlook cloudy. Cloudy. Actually. Ask again later. Give me a second. I'm kind of curious. Can I grab that? Yeah. I pass it off to Gwen. Tracking the person? I'm going to start just trying to make my way to the back of the tent-- We slipped a ring on him. -- to see if it's still pointing at the tent as I'm circling. It shifts, pointing towards the inside of the tent. So it's definitely in there. Pretty directly. Me and Chet are going to walk around the back. I'm going to just throw up a Locate Object and try to find the colt-- So if you put a ring-- Man, if it's just the ring-- -- on this person-- -- I'm going to be so pissed. What did we put on? The ring. The ring. -- and you're tracking the ring. Oh shit. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. Son of a bitch. You get the sense that, indeed, this ring that you've been following is somewhere inside that tent. Okay. Oh, he pawned the ring. Maybe, we don't know. He might have. We don't know. I'm bored of this. I'm going in. Let's roll. Yeah, we're going to roll in the back. Do we want Dusk to go in first and see if she gets eyes on him before we reveal ourselves? Walk in real quick. If you don't see anything, we're coming in. Okay. I walk on in. Okay, so you walk in and you walk in? No, no, no, I'm waiting. You walk in. Just Dusk. Both of you are going in the back. Just start covert ops. Yeah. We're going around the back. Initiative. Before Dusk goes in, I'm going to make eye contact with her. Tell me if anything goes weird. With your mind powers. Whoa. I mean, that's weird, right? Should I-- (uncertain noise). Oh, okay, right. Okay. You both square off to the back portion. You can see there is a thin slit to the back that leads into the interior. In the back, you can see there's a few empty boxes and things used for the carrying and delivering of goods. You walk inside, and you can see there are three oil lanterns hanging from metal hooks that are driven into three large mast-like pieces of wood that hold up the tent.

Input: up and fly back up? You can. While you dart back down, realizing the situation, you see Lyra get grappled by this entity. You're holding on, your shield is wedged in there. You suddenly feel Gwen rush down and put her arms around you. But your shield is currently lodged in its mouth. What do you want to do? I can't, I can't. Not without the shield. Is that a whole action or can I cast a spell? Trying to grab and pull, what are you trying to cast? Command. Not without the shield. I'm just going to look down at the mouth and just try to mentally say: Release! Release? Okay. It shits itself. Uh, well, just to quickly check something on Command. Yeah, it might not understand me. Because Command does have to understand. This is an uneducated-- Yeah. You shout "release" in its direction, and it continues to tense. You get the sense it didn't-- Am I within 60 feet? You are, you're just on the other side. But you watch Gwen dart down into the space where you just-- Would I have heard what Lyra said? Likely, in the stillness of the storm, yeah. I don't know if this'll work, but I wonder if I could cast Telekinesis on the shield to try to pull the shield out-- Oh, using the ring? Yes, use the ring. Okay. So you clamber back up to the side of this ledge and look down. At this point, you can see Julian still floating above and you see the rope ladder now descending from the ship with Nadia climbing down quickly. Arthur's just like. Yeah. What are you doing, buddy? I got to that rock. I'm just fucking standing on that bitch like second base. You got it. Over here! Don't do it, just forget him! Over here! Perfect. Okay, so you come up the side. You keep the ring at the ready, and you reach down and cast Telekinesis to try and pull the shield free. It's an interesting counterbalance between the force of this creature's jaws and the amount of force that this Telekinesis spell can do. Roll a d20 and add your wisdom modifier for me. Okay. Since they're even, the DC is a 10. 18. 18. As you're holding the shield, Gwen's pulling on you, you're trying to look for any sort of point of leverage. Then you feel this weird wave, this shimmering magical energy move past you-- I got it. -- attaches to the shield, like this weird, watery, ethereal power, and the shield just-- I grip the shield harder. -- pulls outward with a heavy strength. Both of you just go tumbling back and out of the hole, about a good 30 or 40 feet into the air before Gwen, you gather yourself again, holding on to both Lyra and the shield. Nicely done. Let's go. Up, up, up. Up, up, up. For the first time, I've attached my propeller hand attachment. That's right. I'm going to spin it up and use it to fly down towards-- Oh yes! -- towards Lyra and see if I can grab him with my-- Are you already holding him? I'm holding him, but you can take-- I'm here to help.

Uh, a specific set of questions, you feel the nature of the Wildmother's answer, like if you stood in a field of kudzu as it rapidly grows around your ankles, binding you. A twist of words, "What could I do to help you help her?" Again, you get that sense of briars and prickling stinging things across those vines. "Why would I stop this from happening?" Not out of fury, but again out of fear. Then, once more, you feel at your temple the crown, thank you, and a flash of blinding pain, to let you know the cost of separating Opal from the crown she donned willingly. You flash back to here and now. Fy'ra Rai, what do you do? All right. Uh, I look at Opal, and I say with a telepathic bond, "I'm sorry." I say out loud, "You can't have her." I use my ki points to pull my hand back, and in my hand, you see appear a whip, but it's made of thick lava. I swing it around to her actual body I swing it around to her actual body and not to Ted. So around her. Okay. I attempt to lava whip her back to me. Okay. Go ahead and make an attack roll, knowing that Ted is providing partial cover, so her-- Right, but it's a whip. It's a whip. It can go around, right? DM: It's a dex save on her part. It's a dex save on her part. Actually, you know what? I can move so that I have a straight line of sight of her. Oh, sure, sure, sure. Do I come this way? Maybe not that far. Can I get closer to? Where you trying be? Halfway through, halfway between the two. Here? Yeah, but back closer to the, yeah, let me get there. Ah. Do I roll a dex save? Dex save. Yeah, there you go. That is a 16. Meets it, beats it. Yeah, okay, so you take-- As a reaction-- There it is. I'm going to use Armor of Hexes-- Okay. -- which is if a target of your Hexblade's Curse hits you with an attack roll, this reaction-- She didn't hit. Huh? She didn't hit you. She did hit me. You said it hits me. You made the save. So it just says half damage. But I made the save. Oh. Oh, is it going to be half damage? Yeah. Oh, then yes, this all goes through, continue. Okay, I can use my reaction to roll a d6. On a four or higher, the attack misses. It's a two. Mm. Okay, so it's 3d10 bludgeoning, but halved. Oh, whew. I have 94 dice and I can't think straight right now. I can't think about which one is which. Which one is which? (laughs) That's a lot of dice. Seven. Eight. Eight and six, 14, so seven. You have a stadium of dice that get to watch-- Yeah, yeah. (laughs) It's crazy. -- and shame the other dice. No, but I'm so confused. "I would've done it better." They would. It's a full jury.
