Nadia: Why'd you get excited? Aria: Is he fucking boys?
Nadia: Maybe. Borlan: (laughs)
Marcus: I believe he was-- Nadia: I don't know what he's doing!
Marcus: He was traveling with a band. They call themselves The Boys.
Dorian: He's probably with his band. Nadia: Oh, they do?
Marcus: Sometimes. Nadia: Wait, how do you know this?
Marcus: Because I-- Aria: He's a fan. He doesn't want to admit it. He's a fan.
Marcus: No, I'm not. Aria: He's got posters in the room.
Marcus: Absolutely not. Nadia: He did ask me if it was a booty call.
Dorian: You have posters in what room? Not in your bedroom.
Marcus: No. Dorian: That's weird. Marcus: That would be weird.
Dorian: Where do you have posters? Marcus: I don't!
Nadia: Should I leave him on read? Aria: (whispers) In his lab!
Dorian: In his lab? What, Borlan? Aria: The workshop.
Nadia: (laughs) Dorian: I got distracted.
Nadia: He asked me if it was a booty call, and I should just leave it, right?
Marcus: Yes. Julian: We're actively trying to find him.
Borlan and DM: (laugh)
Nadia: You're so smart, Gwen. Do I contact him again, or do we just try to find him?
Aria: Can you find a tree halfway between Bazzo-- (incoherent mumbles)?
Marcus: (laughs)
Dorian: I'm going to, once again, connect into the roots of the earth, and this time I'm going to Scry on Dranzel.
DM: Dr. Dranzel. You got it.
Dorian: Now that I know he's probably with him.
Marcus: I hand Gwen a biscuit from a little jar.
DM: Absolutely not. Julian: Oh, thank you!
DM: So you (magical whooshes) travel through, your vision, as opposed to the sky, it goes through the roots of the earth the mycelium networks, the stone and rock, all the elements that you are most tethered to, eventually emerging into a starry nightscape eventually emerging into a starry nightscape that sits above a barely Catha-lit valley that sits above a barely Catha-lit valley of broken rock and spires of these massive, almost spike spires, that stick 100 plus feet in the air at strange arcs all around you, this valley of massive rock thorns.
Dorian: Oh!
DM: A mountain range that is dark and ominous that encircles the distant horizon. You see a number of large, leafless trees that reach out to the night sky, like hands scraping for the heavens. You see a cluster of horses slowly stopping in a circle with a number of figures, and Dr. Dranzel in a heavy coat, looks like a black, leather-ish coat with his hat on, sitting on top of the horse, looking around, and some of the other people on horseback around are starting to reach and rummage into bags and stuff. It's hard to see. It's very dark, and you don't have a lot of detail in this space. But I mean, there is a tree that they've stopped near, a little cluster of leafless trees. One of them, two of them might be large enough to travel through.
Dorian: I got him. We're going?
Aria: Let's go. Nadia: Yeah, let's go.
Dorian: Let's move fast before they navigate too far away.

Beacon Street. Yeah, yeah. And what was the name of the law firm that hired Detective Beacon to exonerate the Beacon State graduate from the murder on Beacon Street? Beacon, Beacon, and Associates.

So how do you get into the clock? You don't! That's just a clock! Kyle. What... I have a problem. What did you do? Those weren't even here for the escape room. Where did you even get those? Uh, uh, thank you. Watching. Hello Bees, it's me again. Look to the Beacon, my old friend. Welcome back. Just have a few things. Sorry, I was-- I was in the middle of trying to pick up a few things from the store. Um, amazing. Anyway. Incredible. Got to rewatch that movie now. Oh yeah, we should. It's so good. It's so good. Meanwhile-- Oh boy. -- a little time before the events we left on Ruidus but a moment ago, in Vasselheim, after the plot had been set into motion, after Bells Hells had gone to stop this meeting of the Unseelie and the Ruby Vanguard, Fiona, with the knowledge of what her and Vox Machina represented on the coming assault of the Malleus Key, set out to gather the rest of her troop. So, here in Vasselheim, gathering your thoughts, Fiona, what are you doing? I have bees on my face. You do. It's thematic. It looks like popcorn. Right? Little pieces of popcorn. Well, after spending so many late nights writing so many damn titles for people-- I'm glad that that's done. It took all your energy. It took so much energy, and now I can focus on the plan. What time is it? Time of day? What time of day do you want it to be when you begin to set out on this endeavor? I feel like I would take some late night some late night door knocks. Okay. No time to waste. Fair enough. So then-- Also the days are so busy, it's so hard to get anything done or to have a conversation in the day, so. That's valid. No one will bug me if we go and try and have a conversation if it's at night because everyone's off the clock. Fair, so-- Post all the meetings with the rest of the Exandrian alliance beginning to scatter to prepare their forces for a very eminent assault. I think I would go and try and find Clara first.

Input: As you look at yourself, you can see that faint red energy glowing ever so faintly off your body here in the proximity of the red Ruidian light. That odd drifting, dull nightlight glow. Did you love her? Birdie. (scoffs) Birdie was part of a long plan and she played her part well. But you're the entire reason I put up with any of these low born. I think there's greatness in you. I can help you reach it. How? I want you to come with me. Where? To learn. To be taught. To show Ludinus and every other brainless individual that they don't understand the power that we hold. That the Zathuda bloodline contains. I can't leave my friends. I can't, but you know, I do want to say, since you haven't been around, I think to make it up to me, you should give me your mount. And then maybe I'll think about coming with you. You deserve it. Demand a pony. Yeah, Daddy, I want a pony. I really just want a pony. I appreciate your ambition. Oh, I could give you whatever you like, whatever creature in the Fey Realm and beyond. We could hunt and break them together. Your cry could cause the skies to quiver in fear. There's nothing like it, that exhilaration, being the apex hunter of everything. That does sound really fun. Aye, it's intoxicating. I'm going to turn and look back. I can't go with you right now. But let me just make sure I'm getting this correctly. You are not in league with Ludinus? Don't misunderstand. We've been in a long-term alliance. But priorities change, and I see opportunity. In fact, sometimes it's those that are underestimated that can make the greatest play for power. I'm going to insight check him. Yeah. Go for it. Yaas. Yaas! So, can I read this motherfucker's lips? Fucking bitch. Yes. Make an active perception check for me. Yes, let her out, Pool Hall Aria. Bitch! Insight, insight. Okay. 19. 19 is still pretty good. Yo! Whoa, you have a sick insight. We got whispers. Yeah. Active perception is at advantage. Oh. Don't you listen to the whisper. I can't. I'm not allowed. Brought to you by B-B-Beacon! I know, I said don't. I'm not allowed. That's why I'm talking to you. It's forbidden. Forbidden whispers. It's forbidden. Forbidden whispers. (whispering) Forbidden whispers. (laughs) (whispering) Whisper. Allow me the honor of shepherding you into your true nature. I can't leave. But-- But, maybe we can figure something out, okay? I have made a family for myself, and I love and I care for them a great deal, and I don't want to leave them. But I'm kind of into what you're putting down a little bit. I'm not going to lie. But I can't go anywhere with you. I barely know you. How do I know you're not, I don't know, going to do something bad? (sighs) Rowan Zathuda, it is in our nature to do bad things. It's Calloway. Ooh. Ooh. Unfortunately, there isn't much time given the pace of events as of late. He glances up in watching.

What crossbow guy are you talking about? Both of these guys are still on the board. Yeah, the one that his right hand was pointing to. None of them are in range for anything I can do. No. Yeah, we were just telling you which one was... Letting you know who's still in. Sorry, yeah, I remember they're awake. If they see us being violent, do they come out of their calm? Let me check my spells. I think only if you do violent stuff against them. To them, yeah. I don't want to pull a Tim here. Wow. Alternatively... Or if it witnesses any of its friends being harmed. Thanks, Tim. Okay. Thanks, Tim. Oh, witness? Okay, good. Some gifts... I'm never going to live it down. So they're already out of it? Is that the Dread Emperor? No, they didn't see that. You don't know. Oh, they didn't see him fall? Okay. Cool, cool, cool. The chains. Oh, when I broke the guy's neck? So that finishes your go. The kid's neck? Yeah, that was the Dread Emperor. Yeah. It's now the Shrikes' turn. Somewhere Tim's saying, "War. War never changes." War never changes. They turn and lift the unconscious body of the Willmaster, the two of them and pick it up. They would've actually, even if I didn't see them, in theory, they would've been in the density well if I can affect, I don't know if I can... Would you prefer to affect them? It would just slow them down and bring them 10 feet towards me. Okay, they shift back. Yeah. Their movement ends there, getting there and they use their action to pick it up and begin to bring it this way, past you, Fiona. They get that far? Are they trying to bring the Willmaster? Do you have a reaction, Fiona? They have high movement. What's up? It looks they're collecting their boss and they're just backing away. Mm. Shit. I'm not in the sky anymore, right? No, you plummet to the ground. Oh shit. Only if they keep moving. Well, they moved past? They moved past you. Both your ankles break. You take... Yeah. Five points of bludgeoning damage. At least one of them made it. Hey! Me? Clara, catch me! Oh. What? Oh. If they were moving past me, can I take an attack of opportunity? If you want to, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to do a tripping attack on the one closest to me, try to knock him down. Okay. That's 22 to hit. 22 hits. So that's six plus the, 12 plus the Hex dam... No, no Hex damage. 12, and it's a strength save. All right, strength save on him. Shit. 11, not great. That's not enough. He's down. Yep. So he... He gets knocked down. From that, Calm Emotions on both of them ends

Input: to do Reiloran mostly and three Bormodo. Do I hear anybody moving around up there? Make a perception check. Thank you. Borlan: Wha? Nadia: The bigs are the Reilorans-- No, I don't. The littles are the Bormodo? No, you don't. That was a natural one. Nope! Julian: I'll do a little Hunter's Bane for fey, fiend, or undead. Sure. Julian: And just use the nose. 19. 19. Yeah. As you're all discussing this a bit, you hear a slight shifting up there, but very minimal. Uh, can Sarah tell how many people are up there? Probably the shop owners. Just one set of feet. Okay. For a few steps and that's it. Okay, well, I would say gather around but we already are because we are squished into this basement, so just give me elbow room. Julian begins to mutter arcane words of power and weave his hands in several gestures and then on a wash of blood goes directly into Aria's face specifically. Washes over the entire group and there's a quick flash of a fog around us that fades quickly and suddenly there are a group of strange, to our sensibilities, faces, Reiloran and three short Bormodo. Ta-da! We're all from the moon now! Whoa. Get ready! This is so sick! Dorian's super disappointed because he had his disguise kit and a little compact out, and he was trying to do it himself. Then it happens perfectly and he's like: Aw. And just puts it away. I've had a fucking disguise kit for three years! I know. It's blue skin and marks! I never get to use it! I've had one of those, too-- A sad Reiloran going-- And we were playing with it. Aw. Exactly. I am going to-- Put the makeup onto, yeah. -- cast Pass Without a Trace on all of us because that can help us just with blending in, right? Less about, it can help us if the goal is to make us less noticeable. It may help you in the process of being not noticed as you pass through darker areas, yes. Okay. Yeah. Sure, I'm going to do it. Why not? Fuck it, I have so many spells, you know? It's not a big deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same, me too. Yeah. All right, the trap door emerges above into the inside of the Jagged Edge shop. Silas peeks her head up. Do I see the shop owner anywhere? You glance up. You don't see a shop owner. The interior of the shop is mostly cleaned out. Most of the boxes and materials and weapons and tools Most of the boxes and materials and weapons and tools are off the walls and gone. It looks like it's been mostly emptied. All right. I forgot to mention, most of the high-up Reilorans, they don't speak with their mouths, so don't talk. You hear Julian's voice in your mind saying: That is no problem for me. But everyone else, make an effort. Do the little ones talk? Ssh. Yes. Oh. What do they sound like? Just like you, honey. You sound-- Oh, perfect. Let me see how much--

Input: stealing this game cartridge. I was then arrested for it. And I was like, "No, I'm not getting arrested for this. I didn't steal it. I refuse." Ten I killed one of the cops and ran away because he was trying to arrest me over a fucking game cartridge. And then it turned out into this massive shootout and stuff. Then I somehow kept getting away. And then eventually I got caught and then I went to prison. And I understood I was in the dream at this point, So then, somehow, I magically then got a phone, it's like in Isikai. I had this phone in prison that I was then using to then play games and stuff, and have a normal life in prison. And I don't know why. Then my charger broke, and I remember this happened, and I was like, "Shit. Well, my charger's broke." And then I just skipped and I had a charger. And I was like, "Great. This is awesome. - You skipped. - This is awesome. This is fantastic. I just skipped. I just skipped the part where my brain had to think hard enough to come up with the reason why I needed the charger, - It just appeared. - and then it just went, "Boop." I have the charger. I'm like, "Oh, this is great. This is amazing." I don't understand why this happens though. - But did you realize it was a dream? - Connor. Yeah. About half way through the dream I understood it was a dream. - But you don't take advantage of it? - I don't know how to. - I was about to say I love how in the dream you still got arrested. He's taking an L in the dream. - Yeah. This is my thing. If it was my dream I wouldn't go to fucking prison. - Yeah. You wouldn't go to prison if you- - Oh, shit. That's right. And then I remember, No, no. This is incorrect, actually, I didn't get the charger, I remember I got, this is where I reset. So I went to the roof of the prison because I couldn't get a charger so I thought, "What's the fucking point if I can't play games?", I jumped off the roof of the prison, and then I reset in the prison. (laughing) I died. I died. And then I just, in my head, I remember there was a jump, I remember I died, and then I just appeared back in the prison again, with the charged iPhone with a new charger or something. - It's like the worst version of Age of Tomorrow. (laughing) - It's a terrible dream. Awful dream. - Age of Tomorrow, Jail version. - I just don't know why this was happening. Why? I understood it was a dream, why can't I have some control over it? They're all shit dreams. I always have shit dreams. - But at least you remember- Because to me, a lot of, Say for example, last night, to me it's like, "Okay. I'm falling asleep. Falling asleep. Falling asleep." One second later, "Oh, it's 7 AM." I feel no perception of time. - Okay. When you wake up, can you feel the time without looking at the clock? - Yeah. Sometimes, yeah. - Yes, but not accurately. - I feel like I'm pretty fucking good at it now. I don't know what happened. I don't know if I'm getting old now or what. - It depends on how good my sleep cycle is at that time. Now it's

I'm robbing Lord de Rolo! Haha! Just yelling it as you run up and down. I'm robbing Lord de Rolo! I'm robbing Lord-- What's happening? It'll wear off. Well. You run past Gwendolyn. As you go past, she reaches up and grabs your belt and rides you as you leave the building. Gwen, help me! I'm robbing Lord de Rolo! Giggles. She just rides you like a wild animal until she lets go... Elias! And then charges out the garden. Find your siblings! You wouldn't let me install a proper alarm, so I have to make do. Taryon can be useful sometimes. All right. I'm dressed. I've got the cloak on. I have a whole bunch of weird stuff y'all have never seen before that I'm putting in, strange little gadgets. Elias! I get my walking stick. I am ready to go. All right, finally! Let's go! Quick! You're all very chaotic without your leader Kaelen. I was going to ask, how did you get dragged into this madness?

Going from almost barfing to just housing a bear claw! That did the trick! That's my style. Half the things in my lab and office are booby trapped. Just don't touch anything. Did I hear right? You were bitchy with Fiona the last time she saw you? You know the company she brought. It was just a bit much. I'm so sorry, dear. The company she keeps? Those people. What do you mean? No, no, no, no, no! She brought Bells Hells. Oh, those chucklefucks? It put us a bit on edge. You know exactly why, and I'm not going to apologize for it. You're always on edge, Elias. Yes, because I'm right all the time. Let's go! We're going to lose him. They were moving slowly, I assure it. Why do you have to speak in absolutions? You don't know!

Nor meat in the apple. We got all the charges back. (laughs) Oh! I don't think you can get all the charges back in a day. It says the staff regains 1d4 plus three expended charges daily at dawn.

(clicks tongue) Rashinna and Gaz Tomo were the two main-- people you recall from the-- That's right. Yes. Rashinna. I could send a message to Rashinna and see where they are right now. Or at least letting them know that we're on our way with friends. It might be a good idea to get closer, but not directly because if we go directly into the fray, we don't know what we're going to find in there. We need to just get close enough to-- That's true. Mm-mm. (I don't know) I'm with you guys. I'd rather be somewhere friendly to begin this, or as friendly as we can get and get closer. All right, I could send a message to Rashinna. What do y'all think? Good idea? Yeah. See if also she might have an opinion on what's the best place to bop into if we're going to bop in right now. We could also find out what the situation is on the surface, if there's any additional problems. That's true. On the surface? The surface. I'm still a little fuzzy on the fruit.

So we're eating and they're like the first piece. They're like, "Shit, this is quite tough." I'm hearing them chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing. And I'm like, "You good?" And they're like, "It's just really hard to eat." They managed to eat one bite and then I felt bad. So I was like, "Yeah, do you wanna have we'll trade pieces?"

Amazing.
She walks through the tree?
Yeah, she kind of tree glides around the globe when she needs to.

Listen, maybe we should go to Vasselheim. I know plenty of the Dawn Marshals. My stuff is in high, but it's like the people that run the place. Listen.

And an assault, a ground assault, too, can be-- Is it a siege on a tower? Dorian: It could take a long time. It could take days. It could take weeks.

Wait an hour and move. Gwen: Right. Marcus: Or-- Borlan: No. Aria: Or move now? Borlan: I think now! This is it! It's move now because it's not going to take six seconds for the assault to happen. It's going to take time. Watching. Aria: Okay. Borlan: Then while that chaos is going on, then we can make our assault. Aria: But we won't get a short rest. Potentially, if they start the assault, are we still going to get a short rest? Dorian: I feel like we can still wait an hour. Borlan: Tell them to wait 54 minutes and then go. Marcus: Honestly, I think that we just communicate our situation, which is we're going to be heading in in one hour. That's all they need to know to know when they should start attacking.

We're going to be heading in in about an hour. Then, as Arthur, I'm going to send a message to her. Because I don't have-- I was confident-- any more fucking spells, y'all. Just make Arthur do it. I think so, though. I'm into it. Oh wait, I could use my sorcery-- Fuck it! Yeah! You should go. Maybe in like 30 minutes though, so that we can get a little bit of a recovery and stuff. But move it, yo! This is happening! Right. Yes, of course. Thank you, Arthur. I'll gather the Exandrian fleet. Oh shit! It's going down! Yep. And there, we'll go to break. We got the fleet! I'm so dehydrated! I know. When we come back from the break, we're going to rewind a little bit in time. Oh no!

Input:
it has happened, if I die but I'm still dreaming, I immediately know that now I'm in a dream. Because I died.
Because you died?
And also, generally, You can't reset real life.
You know what's weird as well.
Must be in a dream.
I don't know if this is a strange thing but when I'm in danger, that's normally a good way that I know. Because rarely in life am I ever in danger, in weird situations. So being in danger is not a normal emotion I ever feel, so when I end up coming across it in the dream, if somebody's chasing me, that's normally one really weird way that I get in tune with the fact that I'm a dream.
Yeah. Because I also very rarely dream, for one, but even more rare is for me to get nightmares.
I see all of mine are nearly nightmares. I want to say, again, 80% are probably in the bad things.
How do you sleep at night?
I don't mind. You see? Okay, here's the thing. When something bad's happening to me in a dream, because, again, I know it's a dream, I feel these emotions towards it but then I also, because, again, I'm aware it's a dream, I have this weird sense of, "Well, let's just see what could happen." Because I don't feel like it has any impact on my-
Right. Because there's no consequences.
on my actual emotions I'm aware that it isn't, Is this strange?
No, no, no.
I feel like if you have nightmares that often then-
But that's the thing, I don't wake up from a nightmare being like, (grunts) like in the movies, (grunts) That's why I always find that shit so dumb. Because I'm looking for a nightmare and I'm like-
Well, that happens to me.
What? No. I wake up from a nightmare I'm like, "Oh, get my phone."
No. I wake up and, If it's really bad nightmares, which I've had every now and then, I wake up in an actual sweat.
I've had my entire life, in every single aspect, ruined in dreams before, and waking up like, "Oh, that's good. I'm feeling better now." Because when I wake up I feel much better. Because I'm like, "Oh, good. It's-"
No, no, no. Because I've had nightmares where something bad has happened and then you wake up and you just have this instant sigh of relief. When you're like, "Oh, my God. Thank fuck. I though my life was ruined.", and it's like, "It's great. It's fucking great right now."
I'm comfy in this bed.
I'm comfy in this bed.
It's all in, baby.
I'm not in jail.
I've had so many dreams
I've got my charging cable. It's all good.
I think I've had a dream where I've literally had to tell my mum I'm about to go to jail. (laughing)
Yes, yes, yes. I've had that.
You've had that as well?
I've had that.
Seeing her cry and break down
That's cruel. That's cruel.
was just the,
I wake up and I'm just like, "Why does my mind do this to me?" That was the most heartbreaking feeling I've had, which is telling my mum I'm about to go to jail, and I remember her fucking crying and breaking down, and me feeling like a, Me just feeling like

Input:
and I remember my body just would not move. It was a terrifying experience.
That's so strange.
Yeah. It was a terrifying fucking experience. And I remember, it took me about 10 minutes, 10 to 15 minutes for me screaming at my body, just like, "Aah. Go on. Move. Move You're going to die. You're going to die. You're going to die now."
This sounds like a dream.
It wasn't a dream. It felt like, No. Because it felt like a dream and not like a dream at the same time. Because I was obviously in my room but after 10, 15 minutes, I actually, finally was able to will my body to just sit up. I remember I immediately sat up, I looked up and I could see the figure literally fading away as I sat up. It was super, super fucking surreal.
That's why I'm just like, "Oh, was that the fucking sleep paralysis demon that everyone fucking memes about? You mean that thing actually exist? What the fuck? What the fuck? That's so weird.
That's like some Persona shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe it was just my Stand. I don't know.
I don't know, man.
You just lost your Stand, Garnt. You could've gotten a Stand.
Put a dick in my mouth right now, please. Please, I'm begging you.
All right. Another question. When you dream, do you visually see your surroundings the exact same way? Because I don't-
What do you mean?
Okay. I'm seeing this right now. I'm seeing the real world. It's way fuzzier when I see things in my dreams.
Aah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's say I know there's a table there but I can't give you the detail of it. I know what everything is around me.
You just know that object is there.
Yeah. I know everything's around me, but I can't visually see everything that's happening. Really strange. Do you have this as well?
No. Mine's in fucking RTX, on 4K,
See? That's so strange.
60 FPS, man.
Mine's in a fish-eye lens.
That's why for me,
What?
That's why for me,
What the fuck is wrong with us?
Sometimes it's so hard for me to tell the difference between when I'm dreaming and when I'm awake because my dreams are so vivid and so, I don't know. Like I said, they have a lot of depth to them that sometimes I wake up and sometimes I immediately know that I've just woken up, and sometimes it takes me a few moments to realize, "Okay. I'm actually awake now. This is the real world. I'm not in dream world anymore."
I think, for me, things that are fuzzy is things that don't exist in reality. If it's like a table for instance, then I can clearly see that it's a table. But if it's a fucking fairy, then it will probably look fuzzy.
Well, you know when you're trying to remember a moment that happened, you have a picture of it in your head. You don't have it in 4K, RTX, the way that you saw it. It's fuzzy. You remember where everything was, you think. You know what I mean? The way that you recall things that happened, it's like that, the way I see stuff in dreams. I don't see it perfectly. If I'm focusing on this table, I know Garnt's there, for example, but I

Input:
I can't believe I didn't see it. You look so much like them.
I just, this is so bizarre. I just, that, that we happened upon-- uh, maybe they were looking for you. Maybe that's why they're in this area.
So, they're in this area? They're here?
I think so. I've been asking around. I've been here for a couple weeks, and-- thank you.
Wait. What makes you think that they're here?
Because that's where we got dumped out together. We got separated, but I assume that it was in the same general area.
You saw their boots on the ground here in Bassuras? I'm sure it was when they were going through the portal.
But how do you know the portal didn't send them out somewhere in Tal'Dorei?
Portals can send people a lot of places in a lot of ways. They are not reliable.
Okay, I just need to-- Let's be a little bit optimistic here. It could have dumped them here.
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes. They could be here. It could totally be-- watching.
It's the closest thing, and the fact that I just ran into you.
What are the odds? This just feels serendipitous.
Hmm. Good word.
I just think, I think they're here. I think they're here, and I think we're going to find them.
What were they-- If you're not sure what they were looking for, what were they up to, or interested in? Were they, I don't know, collecting flora and fauna? Were they looking for, did they have any goals? Did they tell you where we might find them? Did they have a favorite type of food that we could go check those restaurants?
I mean, they said they were really important in the courts.
Oh yes, very, very, very important.
In the court?
They were very-- Yes.
Like judicial court?
No, the Seelie Court, my family is pretty kind of a big deal.
You're fancy. But what does that mean, you're royalty?
Well, I mean, pretty much.
Yeah.
The Seelie Court?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're a princess?
It's a lot of politics.
Well, I don't know if I would be a princess necessarily.
Wait, you're a princess?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh shit.
I mean, my parents would call me that, but--
Are you fucking serious? You're a princess?
I mean, I certainly--
Are you Princess Gideon?
I certainly could be. You can call me that, for sure.
But I didn't know they were royalty, royalty. I just know that they're--
Now I feel bad for being fucking shitty to Dorian.
You know, they're-- we don't necessarily have a--
I could've just been doing this all this time.
The hierarchy.
A seat.
King or queen, it's more like--
No, not necessarily that. It's just, we're just very well known. We're just a very well known family.
This feels so complicated.
Yeah.
You'd be like an influencer.
My aunties worked at the court.
I check the orb.
Yeah.
Thankfully, it has not shifted.
Okay.
Why would they leave the Fey Realm if they're so important and high up in the echelons of--
Well, because I--
Because their only daughter--

Input: high amount. From-- I've never been there, but this is from a... It was from there. (laughter) Make a persuasion check. (laughter) Clara: 16. 16. He takes a glance at it. Describe to me how you acquired this, if you don't mind. Clara: How I really acquired it? Uh, yeah. This was taken when we went to Stilben, and was around when we went with Opal and Dariax and I-- In Kymal? No. Julian: Back in-- Or Byroden? Elias: Byroden? Is it Byroden? Clara: Byroden. There you go. Sorry, sorry, sorry. It's all good. Dorian: Byroden. Clara: I stole it from a gift shop. Okay. Fair enough. (laughter) Beautiful. Looks at it and goes, "I have quite a discerning eye for relics." Clara: Well, then you would know. "This is authentic." It is. How did you come upon such a thing? I happen to know someone who... Somebody gave it to me. (laughter) It was a gift because... Dorian: Fucking terrible. Cedric: So bad. It was for my birthday. (laughs) "Well, the fact that you are willing to part with this for such a establishment as this means that you respect the arts and wish to support them." Very much. "I think that music box has been towards the end of its life perhaps and I've been looking to trade it out. I'll accept your bargain." Okay. "Should you bring any other finer relics around here, there are other bargains to be had. Except for the mirror. The mirror stays." Okay. Maeve: What is the mirror? "It is a mirror." Yeah, but where from? What is its significance? "This mirror was imported from the Elven city of Syngorn, and was said to once belong to one of the lake masters there that kept an eye upon the lights of Catha as it bestowed upon the magics to its people." Wow. A magical mirror. Have you ever tried to cast a spell into it? "Yes, many times. It is just a mirror." (laughter) Have you ever brought it out into the moonlight? "Yes. That was the first thing we tried." Oh. Just checking. (laughter) "No, but good looking out. I appreciate it. Your music box." And he unwraps the rope from it and hands it to you. Thank you. You can see it's been scuffed, it's been knocked around, definitely has a few stains on it probably from wayward ale tossing, but it seems to function. Okay. Thank you so much. "Of course. Thank you." Takes and very carefully lifts the tea cup and starts cleaning it off with a little wayward scarf or piece of material he wipes down the edge of the bar with. You have a genuine piece of A Taste of Tal'Dorei. What are you-- What you going to do with it? How did that happen? Well, I have a plan. I have a plan. A plan? Yes. I have a plan for it. Rowan. Dorian: Yes? Do you do engraving? Of course. (laughs) Could I have you write, To Mama Birdie and Papa Ollie on it? I mean, yes. Just in common, plain font? Would you like more calligraphy and filigree? (gasps) Yes! Clearly. Is that longer? Is that an extra charge? Not for you. Really? You'll give it to me for

Input: long braid down the back. She's wearing these gray travel robes, just a little bit of leather armor underneath. She's picks up-- um, I'm so happy to see you. Maeve: I was so worried. That thing. Where's Corrin? Uh, thank you. I came here with Corrin. She turns back and looks in the direction of the-- Sarah: Bull. -- shattered statue that was right at her side. Gideon: Oh no. You see she takes a couple steps forward. Takes a couple more steps forward. Leans down, picks up one piece that looks like the shoulders and head of the statue, chipped and broken itself, its face recoiling in surprise. Also a firbolg. Kaelen: How small are the pieces? I mean, there are probably six or seven larger pieces and a few dozen smaller elements that have been scattered a bit. It wasn't enough impact to pulverize. It just nudged and broken as it went through it wasn't at a full run, thankfully, but it's a lot of pieces-- Kaelen: If it's not totally awkward. I'm going to try to get the pieces together and try to reassemble the body as best I can. Okay, as you reach and start doing this, you can see Constance is just holding the head, aghast. You feel, Lyra, your father's hand come onto your shoulder and in that focused-- or that that unfocused state of your mother, Nadia begins to sift through and suddenly her eyes catch yours, and she gets down and starts trying to help-- Gwen: I go over and I help as well. Okay, go ahead and make an investigation check, Nadia. Gideon: I'm going to go help. Do it with advantage, yes. Kaelen: With advantage. Because Derek is helping. Okay, okay. 19? 19, okay. You pull together what you think is the majority of the stone body. It's too hard to tell at this moment. Maeve: I'm scanning for any anybody else. I'm not really moving yet. I'm just looking to see if I see-- Make a perception check. I'm going to Bless myself, which I don't normally do for this, but I am in that space. Maybe I can do one piece at a time. I don't think it'll work. 26. 26. You do not see any other firbolgs in the vicinity of where you're standing. You do see out of some of the individuals here-- and a lot of them, at a glance, their arms are broken off. Some of them are have already taken a lot of hits over time, whether it be by this creature or just wear and tear for how long they've been in this open space and nature is taking its toll on their stone forms. You do see some figures, one nearby that is a an elf that is a very... pious robes and carries a symbol of Avandra around their neck, hand reaching forward like a, Stop, don't expression locked in stone. But nobody of your family. So Constance and Cornelius are fine and Calliope's fine. Calliope's fine. Corrin's been broken. You have not found Clarabelle or Colton. No Colton, no Clarabelle.

I'll come check all of these. Looking at all the bodies, some of them look

So since we're on the dream topic, do you guys sleep talk? Yeah, I sleep talk. Really? I don't think I sleep talk. I generally just, this is going to sound terrible, just screams. Are you serious? I shout in my dreams. It's probably every time you die, right? Oh, he died. You've been around me when I've sleep talked. I've never heard you sleep talk. I've heard you snore very heavily. It's not the same. I don't know if you're screaming or just a loud cuddle snore. or snoring, or if it was Chris fucking snoring. Like that. Really? Did you ever sleep talk when you did your subathon where you slept on stream? I muted the mic. Oh, you muted the mic. Just in case I was fighting that dragon that can only be defeated by racism. I only ask because Ahki has recently started sleep talking a lot. And I'm concerned because, by sleep talk, she randomly shouts out phrases that just don't make sense when you think about it in a sequential manner. Ahki is the kind of person who, literally, head touches the pillow, three seconds later she's snoring. Instantly like that, which I'm so fucking jealous of. But then, now it's gotten to the point, where three seconds after the head hit's the pillow, start snoring, five seconds later she says a random thing. And I thought, The first time she did it, I thought she was joking, because it happened in the spa of 10 seconds. So I just started laughing. I remember her, She's like, "All right. Good night.", goes to sleep, starts snoring, and then she just goes, "legs". I was like," What the fuck was that?" Maybe she was in one of Garnt's dreams, she's reading the title card. Chapter 3. Legs. Chapter 3. Legs. And then I started laughing, and I was like, "Come on, sweety. What are you doing?" But she continues to snore. And I was like, "Wait. Are you serious?" And then she goes,

Input: page turns and leaves. Still in box form, I am going to go back up to them. Okay. Hey guys, it's me. I'm in a box! Well, take it off. No, it's not a real box. I'll stick my hand through it. I heard everything! What's going down? There's an attack on Ashguard something. Oh! That's the garrison over by the-- Okay, thank you! The King said we're going to declare war on Xhorhas or something like that, I don't remember. Then there's 1000 dead! The skies were black-- On our side or their side? I don't know! Maybe ours? At the Garrison there was 1000 dead, so that's our side? Wait, no, we're not on sides! We don't like the Empire! I mean, who cares, right? Anyway, but they wanted to declare war and they're not going to until tomorrow. Good thing we didn't join the army, huh? Yes! What makes you think they're not going to start conscripting people tomorrow? Oh no! Maybe if you competed and they saw you were awesome, they're going to tell you you have to join. We should throw the fight. Maybe we should win the fight, then maybe think about getting out of town? I agree with Molly. Derek, is there anything about this letter? Do I notice anything? Which letter? I don't know, I'm paranoid right now. It's just the scroll from the-- It's a pamphlet. I don't know, ignore what I just said. Made it at Kinko's. Are there crownsguard in the little waiting area that we're in? There are at the entrance where you came in and each side. Can I make my way to one that's over by the entrance? Okay. You back up towards where you guys came in, and there's a crownsguard there, arms crossed, looking up. Man, I cannot wait to see this year's Victory Pit competition! I hear the beasts are heartier than they were last year. I certainly hope so. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch. Which one is your favorite so far? Oh, which one? The beast they selected this year. Well, I haven't seen them. They keep those under wraps. It's part of the surprise. Really? Yeah! Man, I heard you guys were more informed than that. Not us, that's above our pay grade. Really? Sheesh. What do you got to do to get duty like that? Well, you probably have to go to the King's Hall and sign up for the Crownsguard. Kiss ass for a few years and maybe then. Where do the handlers of those beasts stay around here? I don't know. That's, once again, outside of my jurisdiction. They keep a lot of things separate intentionally. Fair enough. You feel like dropping a coin on a team, remember The Mighty Nein. Right. Appreciate that, friend. I walk away. That was good. That was very good. It occurs to me that starting tomorrow, it would be more important than ever that we stick together. All of us, or just you and Arthur? All of us. Dorian, high-five.

Input: 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. (laughter) 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 we can, either hidden or concealed, or with as many people as we can, either hidden or concealed, or with a pretense for being there. We, at least, see if he's there, scope it out, compel somebody to tell us if he's there or to go get him for us. And then we get out, because there is no way that we're going to be able to storm a fortress. Yeah, no. That's just my thought. That's true, that's true. Do the people that you-- Silas, do the people that you mind meld, do they know? When the spell ends, they will know that they had been affected. Okay, so we have to save that until the very end. Why? They'll just quit afterwards because they'll be ashamed. (laughter) So we have a couple days, I feel like. So are we going to stake out tonight and just keep watch on the place, or are we going to leave? What else do we need to know? We don't even know if he's still here, right? Mm-mm. Nope, assuming that he's still there. No, but we can stake it out and between Arthur reading people's minds and me reading anybody who's walking past's conversations, we can maybe learn something instead of stealing a tank and driving it into the side-- He went shopping, I might add, it's not like he's locked up, he's not a prisoner. We already know that he's out and about going to pawn shops. It stands to reason he'll do it again. We also have Furiosa over here, who we could totally get dressed up and do a whole thing and you know, she could be one of the Crawlers. Yeah. Hey, I'm here, let me in. I don't know how that goes. Watch for a day or two and if that doesn't work-- We could also-- Then we do the big-- Maybe we could do something to where we go to the pawn shop, the River of Renewal, and have them, maybe we can compel them, to send a message to Treshi, saying, I'm about to sell your ring, but I know you were very attached to it, would you like to buy it before that? That's a great idea. That's too sensible. I feel like it'll never work. To maybe draw him out? Send a message how? Well, he knows where he's staying. It's not like it's a secret to that guy, right? So he could send a message-- But I mean-- That's what I'm saying, why do they have to send the message? That's a very good point. Or to make it believable, deliver a message that's on paper, saying, I need to move this, but I wanted to give you one last shot at watching

Output:
- The group discussed various strategies to locate a target, including surveiling gargantuan creatures, robbing them, or using a tank to storm a fortress.
- Erika proposed infiltrating with a large group to compel someone to reveal the target's location or to retrieve them.
- Tim and Elias clarified that mind-melding spells would reveal the target's knowledge only after the spell ended, necessitating a delay.
- Julian suggested using Arthur's mind-reading abilities and his own skills to overhear conversations while stakeouting the area.
- Clara and Maeve brainstormed a plan to disguise Furiosa as a Crawler or to send a message to Treshi regarding a ring to draw the target out.
- The team agreed to stake out the location for a day or two to see if these plans would work before proceeding with the pawn shop ruse.


Input: Moving it might also be a bonus action. uh baseball card. I didn't, not today. Double check. It might be, actually. To move it is a bonus action. It is. Thank you. I think it might be. It is, yep. Dorian. Yeah. Okay, and I'll try to move a little bit towards the pedestal, even though this is probably not going to-- So right there? Yeah. All right, the other guy gets an attack of opportunity on you, with advantage. Ooh, that's a 22 to hit. Yeah, that hits. All right, it slams you in the back for five points of bludgeoning damage, which you reduce to two. Okay. Ow. That's like Arnold Schwarzenegger getting drop kicked. You still have your second attack if you want to. Oh, yeah, I'm going to turn around and hit the guy, then, that just hit me. Okay. Go ahead and roll attack with advantage. Ooh! Okay. This is with my sword. Yep. 25. That definitely hits. They have an AC of eight. Okay, six, 11 points of damage. 11 points of damage. You take, now, your other hand immediately dropped the gray hart or are you still holding it? Yeah. You drop it behind you. The guy hits you from behind and you swing back around. Wham, the blade cuts him in half and the body crumbles into the ground unmoving. Nice. Nice! No glowy? And he didn't get back up. So 18 points? Sorry, it was? 11 points. 11 points, sorry. So actually, he's still up. But he's carved into and standing. groans. His heart is missing in the-- okay. We don't know that. Okay. All right. That finishes your turn. Clara finished her turn. Tim, you're up. Dorian punched the heart out of this one or this one? This one here. This one? You're still holding the glowing hart in your hand. Taking a cue from Dorian, I'm going to take my right hand and one-inch punch right through its-- Natural 19. Yeah, go ahead and roll damage on that. And then that is 11 damage. 11 damage. The fist gets a few inches in. You can feel it hitting, breaking through the ribs, but it didn't go all the way through. You can take the next attack. Yeah, 25. That hits. Roll damage a second time. Seven damage. Seven damage! whooshes. Your fist goes in and you grab onto the heart, but it's still taut in there. It's not dead. It's not a dead heart or not dead? Well, I mean, it's still alive. You haven't been able to pull it out, so you have to roll a bonus action. Bonus action to yank it out. 17. 17, roll damage. groans. Seven. Seven. Okay, so you grab it and you pull back and the zombie clicks grabs your arm and is like growls and you can't pull your hand out of its body. Don't bite! It's on death's door, but it seems it's resisting the crumbling of its necromantic form. Do I get the same feeling in this hand? That warmth, nope. groans. Well, I'm like, oh-- Put the new heart in the old zombie! laughs. I'm trying to help you.
