Input: know! Feel them. (rhythmic drumming) Yeah, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. (trills) They go out a little bit, but that's all right. Wears off. Terrifying. Yeah. Mm. Is there anyone else we should try to gather up? I was thinking about that. I mean, it feels like we should maybe-- Should we reach out to Tary? (groans) Darrington? Tary! I've kind of forgotten about him. What's he even doing? What's he up to? Are you talking to him? Of course! Is he in Whitestone? Where is he? What's he doing? Oh. He's doing so much, actually. He's so busy with the Darrington Brigade still. Mm. Still hanging onto those guys. Wow! Okay. Yeah, he's still trying to make that work. Mm-hmm. Okay. Do I know what Tary is up to? You tell me. (laughter) You're covering real well. He's... happily married. You guys were invited to the wedding, though, so of course you know that. Yes, he's still trying to make the Darrington Brigade happening, although he's a bit older now and-- I totally went to the wedding, but I don't remember who he was marrying to. Who? His husband. Um. Greg. (laughter) You don't remember either! (laughter) I mean, that's the mark of a-- Greg sucks! That's the mark of a good wedding. Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah! (laughs) Mm. See? I just go to them. Whether they're splitting up, getting back together. It's all, you know. Just saying. Yeah. You know, maybe we don't get Tary. Maybe let's focus on-- (claps) People in hand. Let's focus on Elias. People. Let's focus on Elias. Let's get Elias, and then-- You know, maybe there were some other people who were at the meeting today. I guess we could do a quick ask around. I mean, my dad's kind of, he's old and retired, but Cerkonos maybe would want to join us. Which one was he? He's the leader of the Fire Ashari. Oh yeah! Very buff. Yep. Super powerful. Still rocking a-- Cool tats. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. One pec out. Yeah. It's a vibe. Yeah, it is totally a vibe. But yeah, he's still working it. So maybe-- Okay. Maybe we could ask him. All right. Is he here? He's here. He was in the meeting. He was in the meeting. So he'd probably be over at the tree. Yeah, he's probably there. Well, maybe we go over there and we can teleport out from the tree and head into the Sun-- Okay. That feels right. -- Tree. Sure. We go and find Cerkonos. Okay. You head towards the Birth Heart and the surrounding forest here the night of Vasselheim. Indeed, there is the group of Pyrah tents who represent the Fire Ashari diplomatic station within Vasselheim given the events that are transpiring. Approaching the outskirts of it, there are some exterior braziers that perpetually burn flame, as well as the cultural color scheme of oranges and yellows and browns and reds that denote the large banners of Pyrah being present.

Input: corner. What's up? (laughter) One of those old meat pies we had from the-- Oh. Yeah. (laughs) Some stuff. Thank you. Yep. Yeah, Ted knows a good target when she sees it. Just a fucking mess. She's going to round on you and make a pair of attacks. Ted, be nice. Does a 23 hit? Yes. Does 18? If it's the same, does it hit? Meets it beats it, yeah. Okay, gotcha, then yes. Okay. ♪ Let's get those two in ♪ Oh wait, is that including your Hasted? Yes, I've took my AC's 20, yeah. Okay, so the 18 wouldn't hit then? The 18 doesn't hit. Oh! Yes! Yeah, okay. I was just looking at what I was looking at. No, you're good, you're good, you're good! Cool, cool, cool. Hell yeah. We love it. I don't think there is, is there? Yeah. It doesn't augment it. Yeah, it doesn't. It just tells you the spell, what it does. I only know how to read things that are there, you know what I mean? It's okay. That's how reading works. I'm pretty sure that that's what reading-- Cool. You're going to take 14 points of piercing damage from this dark blade. Whew. (sighs) Okay. Now I need you to make a concentration check to see if your Haste stays up. Oh god. So it is half damage, I think I said earlier it was the full damage. So you just have to beat a 10 with a constitution save. All right, well. Yeah, 19. Yeah, you're great. Yeah. So wait, okay, this is so small. Hell yeah. Yep. Okay, so I take 14 damage? Yep. Okay. She's going to do her best to try to get in and re-interpose herself between you and Opal. Her primary goal is to keep your attention on her and keep you away from Opal. Okay, and you said, sorry, to clarify, the spiders looked at the dick gems, and then also at us? (laughter) Yeah. Wondering what they should? Yes. But I looked at the dick gem and said, "Oh, that looks crushable"? (laughs) You did get a sense of submissive and crushable from these. Okay. But I think you see in the moment that you hear Opal say, "Ow," you have a vantage point on that spider in the back that lifted up and broke some of the gems that perhaps breaking the gems is bad for Opal. Okay, gotcha, no matter who does it. Great, gotcha. Cool, cool, cool, sick. Cool, cool, cool. That's Ted's turn. Dariax, you're up. Opal, you're on deck. Oh no. All right, seeing all this go down at the get-go, and then everyone rush in, there's a moment of (laughs) Dariax like: What's happening? Then looks over and sees this change in Opal that he still hasn't even processed since all this went down. There's this pang of worry and sadness that hits him, watching. There's this pang of worry and sadness that hits him, and he's like: Oh, Opal. He's saying this out loud, he doesn't understand how telepathy works. He's just-- Baby. My son. Baby.

Input: Yeah. We should get some more gold dust ready just in case somebody does need help in the morning. Uh, we should probably take shifts while we sleep. If he's been watching us and we've been traveling all over the island and he's clocking us as a threat, we are pretty close to where he is, just on the off-chance that he's like, "Oh, I'm going to go get them while they sleep." Thank you. Little thread ought to do that. Also, we're going to be sleeping in a bubble, right? Yeah. Or no? Okay. Yeah. Except it's not a bubble, though. It's a dome, right? Yeah, it does not go all the way around, but... So, he could come up from underneath, because it is a boat. Yeah. He would have to go through all of our large ship to get to us, but... And then when the moment happens, either here in the shipyard, or in Vokodo's lair, we will try to send him away, no? So you all have to keep him busy. Yes. We can do that. As long as I can get up to him. I can-- I have a spell for that. Dope. For the two clerics, how much diamond dust do you still have left? Is it diamond dust that we need? Yeah. Or gold dust? Okay, it's diamond dust? Diamond dust for the Greater Restoration. Let me look at my diamonds. Oh, yeah, that is the variable. How many of us fail tonight. Yeah. (exhales) Vilya, checking in, says, "I only have components for one more casting myself." And it's how much worth? 100. 100. I have a 300 gold diamond and a 500 gold diamond. Ooh. But we have to pulverize? Although I've got 100 gold left from one of the diamonds because we didn't do it. This is retroactive. Do we need to pulverize it somehow, or...? Do you have any more diamond as well, or...? I don't, but I have a substitute. Yes. Residuum. Residuum. I can pulverize a gem in the morning. I have a jeweler's kit. I can just take the night to file one down. (imitates filing) If I say we destroyed-- "I'm fine!" If I say we destroyed one of the diamonds, the 300 gold diamond, you cast Greater Restoration how many times the last time? Did you cast it twice? (sighs) Vilya cast it-- Vilya cast it once. Yeah, she cast it on you. You cast it on her. I cast it on you. But you also cast it on Vilya, so it's four times it's been used. Four times it's been used? Four times. Going through my stuff. Do you have any diamonds? Yeah, yeah, I do. I'm just trying to figure out-- I don't have any powdered diamonds. I would've... But we can say that Derek would've powdered them. How much residuum do you have? I have 700 gold pieces' worth. (whistling) So that's seven casts, as long as somebody-- It totally replaces? Residuum can be used to replace any sort of material component cost of equal cost, but only if they have it on their person to use it. Well, I will give you all the residuum, then. I'll give 400 to you, watching.

Gideon: You mean where you'd put us while you turn us in, Chu?! DM: She's like, "My god! They've found me out, oh no!" Gideon: I'm watching you. Kaelen: Side note, above the table, Kaelen thinks spending days traveling across the lunar landscape is fucking rad. Borlan: I know, I do, too. Derek: Yeah, no, I'm totally into it. Lyra: Well, hang on. I guess-- Gideon: Are you above the table? Or are you, (like Maeve) hang on? Lyra: (exaggerated Maeve) I'm-- I'm, hang on!

Lyra: Nailed it. From Zhesh. So we can get in contact with her, right? Maybe just see if she is expected here, and then if she's not, then we can, you know, maybe-- Julian: If Sending works here, on the moon. We could always try. Kaelen: Mm-hmm. Derek: Yeah. Lyra: How far is it? Did you say? Did anyone say how far-- Gideon: Days. Lyra: Days. Sarah: A couple days. Lyra: Okay. Borlan: A few days.

Input: How do you feel about him right now, knowing this, that he... I am very not trying to overstep at all, but him knowing that he would bring people here, that it's possible that they would forget? He's not, like, the best guy. Uh, you know, he's really cool. But I don't think he always, you know... Thinks about other people, about how they'll actually be affected, sometimes. And that's just, you know, just because he's, you know, super super powerful, and um... to us... and to him, we're like ants sometimes. We don't think about the fact when we squish an ant. It doesn't mean anything to us, but the ant is real sad. Or it's dead. Or dead. Nadia, we all want what's best for you, of course. Have you talked to him at all about going back to just the way things were when you were little, just he and you, as friends? I want to. I want to, I want to. It's just every time we talk he has to disappear so fast. Before, he used to be here all the time, you know? Ugh, it's so hard to share. But you know where he'll be. He'll be at Traveler Con. I know. He is going to be here. And the thing that you guys have all taught me is that friends call each other on their shit, and if they're really friends, then they'll be friends afterwards. And if you know where he'll be, and you know he's not going to disappear, you should call him on his shit. Traveler Con shouldn't be about bamboozling people or you trying to put on a show. Traveler Con should be about you and the Traveler. That's how it all started. But all those people are already on their way here. We'll deal with them after. You've done so much for him, and I know he's done so much for you, but trying to make him happy in this, it puts you at risk. It has put you at risk, and us. That doesn't seem, like you said, the most considerate thing. Yeah, but also, it is complicated sometimes, extracting yourself from the very things that made you who you are. So this might be difficult. We're protective of you, and defensive of you. Yeah. We're here because of Nadia, not because of the Traveler Con. Honestly... all you have to do is say the word, and we'll do whatever you want. It's always been the case. But... Also, if he hurts you, I'll kill him. You know? Like... we've killed demigods before. We're about to kill one. We could kill him, too. We don't-- I don't want to kill him. Yeah, but, you know, we could. And we would if you said the word. Thank you, watching. I don't want to kill him. Just don't want to see you being used, either. Yeah. I don't want to be used. You know, you're kind of... to echo Gideon's point, you are like his peer now. No, I'm not. He can do so many things. He can bamf in and out whenever he wants to! So can you. I can't. I'm stuck here on this island. You can turn into things and fly, and you can... You've got a lot of powers. Look, you made us this amazing

Input: Is it just me? Does this place remind you a bit of Cognouza? Just the dissonance of it? A little bit. Yeah. Well, yeah. I think that's why they sent us to fight this Weave Mind. Vibes. That was the last time that I felt this kind of fear. It's just fascinating. Where exactly is this Weave Mind stationed? Y'all know? In the middle of that-- We don't exactly know. They kind of appeared to us. Yeah. Outside of the big vein. Dropped in on us. We are walking, right? There's four or five of them. They're not in the big column in the middle of the tree? We're not sure. Yeah, I think they're in the column. But that column's real big. You do see the Arx Creonum, which is the central palace-like structure built into and along the base of the prime pillar. It is this-- Downward balls. -- terrifying-looking crystal cathedral-like structure that rises for numerous floors and extends like a wasp nest, a beautifully carved wasp nest from the side of this pillar. That's down at ground level? It starts at ground level. It starts at ground level, goes up. Then goes up. Wow. Nadia: She's trying to get the hair. It's shaped-- Poor Dorian! That's so uncomfortable. -- sort of like that. Dorian's head is the crystal column. Is this bee still here? Yeah. It is. You got it. The bee basket is the Arx Creonum. Well, we should move, guys. We are. We're moving. Are we walking and talking? We're walking and talking. No, because we're 200 feet up. We got to get down. Oh! All the tunnels that leave here naturally are closed off. Yeah, so we are going to have to drop down. But the gate, that glass is open. Gone. Yeah, it is shattered and open. It's just a drop from there. It's just a drop. Okay. If you can Fly, Fly, if you-- 200 feet. I could also just open up a gate and we could be down there. I could-- Oh, I mean, I could also make a floating disc that can hold us, and I think I can lower it down. Gate sounds good. I can also drop a handful of us safely. So I take it we're not worried about stealth anymore? We're all flying down into the city or-- Oh yeah. We have Feather Fall too. There's no one in here? There's no one in this room, no. In this room, no. No, but down below there's hoards of people. Down below. Yeah, there are all manner of the streets that are shifting. Like directly under us, walking by. Where you are is almost halfway along. So there are still stragglers moving, but the bulk of it is probably, as you're looking down to the city, to the right-- If we dropped, we'd be dropping into people. Ain't no compass, brother. You could. Ain't no maps. There are open streets and areas that aren't as clustered, but it would have to be a very careful descent to watching.

Output:
- The group discussed the dissonant atmosphere of the location, comparing it to Cognouza and identifying the Weave Mind as the source of their fear.

- Several members proposed methods to descend safely, including opening a gate, using a floating disc, or casting Feather Fall spells.
- They noted that while the immediate room was empty, the streets below were filled with shifting crowds, making a careful descent necessary to avoid dropping into people.


Input: particularly. Okay, we should go in. We have to save everyone. Okay. Everybody on a rope? We go in? Let's jump into the water. You guys are going in? Yes, yes? Yes. Yes? Yeah. Thumbs up? Yes! Form Voltron. Get your thumb up! No, come on, Arthur! Get your thumb up, Arthur! How long did we say it took to get through the tunnels? An hour. From the other side, it was about an hour, yeah. Jesus, okay. From the other side. This side, we don't know how long it takes. You don't know long it will take from this side. It could be less. We don't even know where this goes. I'm going to be behind Julian and I'm just going to be ready to, as soon as I see the opening into the cavern, hit her and cast Freedom of Movement. You've got it. I'm a super-fast swimmer too, like him. Are we all tied together still? We're all holding onto the rope, but it didn't matter the last time. Actually, if you get there, you undo it, yeah. All right. So you guys all dive into the water. Yeah. Oh, boy. Fuck! Terrible. Feels great. You all dive in. Vilya uncomfortably dives in with you. The water is warmer. Sure. Oh, so it's gotten warmer. It's gotten warmer. -- since I checked. And as opposed to when you first touched it, the cold ocean temperature is now a lukewarm, a little above room temperature warmth. It's like a comfortable bath. That's just because we nervously peed in it, though. Well, there's that too. Yeah. So what is the marching order for this entering? We're going to burn alive the minute we get in there. Kaelen is going to lead us. Kaelen is leading. Who's after Kaelen? Julian. I'll be after, yeah. It's Nadia. All right. Can't we just, like... And then Cedric and Elara. Wait, Cedric's after there? After Julian. And then it's Cedric, and then Elara. Uh-huh. All righty. And then? Me, I guess. Us. Sure, yeah, no. (laughter) Don't put me last. Don't put me last. I'll go behind the firbolg. Vilya will go last. I'll go last. All right. So you swim down and you can see the glowing orange entrance of the torchbloom plants that represent the beginning of this. Kaelen, as you get there, I need you to go ahead and make a wisdom saving throw for me with advantage. Yeah. With advantage. 14. 14. (laughs) As you approach, you see it, and you begin to get in front of the tunnel, and you get there and go, "Okay." "Okay, I know where it is. I know where it is." "I got to get there, I got to get there." And you take off. So, he's holding the rope, so all of us just start-- All of you guys... Well, no, you're already swimming fast, but you now swim with purpose, and something is guiding you the right path now. I know where to go. One after the next. He's got the bug. Could everybody roll a wisdom saving throw for me with advantage, please? thank you.

Input: across the way as you guys are having this conversation, and the gentleman comes out again and goes, "Quickly, follow me." Yes yes yes! You guys make your way through the crowd and follow him into this back chamber. You enter with him. There's a slight hallway that leads into a low-lit lounge with comfortable furniture with cushions, there's some firelight, a few torches set up in the chamber. There is a window across the way that looks out into the open of the Victory Pit's main battle area. You can see servants wandering in similar brown silks and robes as the barker, but they're carrying trays of food. You see guests in expensive clothing that dot the distant walls and areas of the chamber sitting atop these cushioned couches and talking in low voices to each other, broken with the occasional laugh. The older gentleman ushers you over and waves in the distance as a figure begins to approach. This is another human man in probably his early 60s or so, who has graying hair that is slicked back and even further thinned than the gentleman who first met you on the way in, who has a very well groomed goatee that comes to an accentuated curve up underneath in the front. He's wearing a finely tailored dark blue festival suit. Ooh, styling! The barker says, "These are the ones who--" and the older guy goes, "Ah! It's far too late in "the day. We couldn't muster a-- Very well. I am Yadaka Brigman, Guildhead of the Filigree House "and organizer of this harvest tournament. Who are you, and have you the coin to enter?" Well, of course. We are the illustrious Mighty Nein. Servants of Zadash. "The Mighty Nein. Where are you from, Mighty Nein?" All parts. All over. Everywhere and nowhere. DM, could you say that crazy-ass name again? Yadaka Brigman. "You are from everywhere." Yes. You will be announced as from everywhere. That's good. We are from lots of places, after all. Yeah, makes us feel very worldly. That's all right if that is what you require. All right! Well, we've warriors from "around the Marrow Valley come to compete today, many of which who'll have been on the front lines "of the eastern wastes. Are you still eager to lose your coin and risk your life? I forget. Refresh my memory about what the fee is for entering this contest. 20 gold pieces per fighter. Groups of five to eight are allowed to enter. There are "three rounds to this tournament." We'll have to leave one of our members-- That's true. Poor Stan. Each victory is 200 gold to be dispersed amongst your group and the winners that remain at "the end split a 2,000 gold purse." Yeah, I believe that entry fee is along the lines of what I remember. Yeah, that seems standard. 20 gold will be fine. Are there rules or are we just allowed to use whatever we come into the tournament with? Whatever you bring in there is at your disposal to utilize. With your group that would "make four who have signed up for the tournament today. You will brought down to the "waiting/holding area and each group will be brought into the Victory Pit to face off with the "chosen peril." Wait, how did you get four? Four groups. Four groups. You are the fourth to have signed up.

Input: week. They do Borlan and Fiona. They do Clara and Sylvia as goth twins. Marcus: Every week? What are you talking about? Derek: They post-- I mean, I'm in the hashtag looking at art every week. uh, um. Marcus: Submit! Derek: Hey! Derek: Gimme this. These are what these are for, right? OFF-SCREEN: Frankin-man. Derek: Yep. DANI: Derek: All right, bend over. Marcus: BRIAN: Ew. Derek: What? BRIAN: Were you simulating-- you said bend over? Derek: You've never pummeled somebody with trophies before? BRIAN: But was that sort of like a heavy spanking or where you penetrating? Derek: No, I meant for him to duck so I could fight monsters, Brian. BRIAN: Oh, I see, I see, that's cool. I've never heard Marcus's butt cheeks referred to as monsters. Marcus: Oh my god. BRIAN: Max is throwing up in a bucket. Marcus: Oh, I pulled a muscle. BRIAN: You did? You did a Sarah?! Wait, because of my joke? Marcus: Yes. BRIAN: Oh! In that case, my friends, it's been wonderful hosting this show. I am the fuck out of here. I'm leaving. Lyra: Like a symphony playing to an empty theater, Critical Role dines alone without its audience. Yes, that validating and most enthusiastic congregation on the other side of the fourth wall. And what is this fourth wall separating the viewer from the creator? A portal to an often-sought point of connection or the Twitch Subscription Zone? On the rare occasion that you miss the live bacchanal boasted by the rag-tag group of thespians on Thursday night, you may always view this show on demand, in the shadowland known as the Twitch Subscription Zone. Picture, if you will, the necessary pieces to complete a jigsaw puzzle, but it's up to you to choose how it will be solved. You could, of course, subscribe with your debt rectangle. But many more divergent paths lie before you. Perhaps you've found yourself in possession of an Amazon Prime account. You would then wake up to discover a free Twitch subscription each month for a channel of your choosing. But this artifact demands renewal, for you must re-subscribe each month to quench its unyielding thirst. One need not walk alone. Those who have already found their way can illuminate the path for others via the Gift a Sub button on Twitch. Critical Role is humbled by your subscription and wishes to thank you from behind the thin veil of this fourth wall. We hope you enjoy our content as much as we enjoy making it. And so ends another meandering digression, a complicated parody promo down an indistinct highway to the region we call the Twitch Subscription Zone. You will subscribe. Twitch Prime subscribe. Gift subscribe. Subscribe. Game Master: Welcome back, everybody. So we have a winner for our giveaway. The winner, one of my favorite online handles in a while, siegeweasel. Sylvia: Oh, yeah! Game Master: Congratulations, siegeweasel. We'll get that to you ASAP. One of the best ones they've got. Derek: I'm coming in! Sarah: Honey Heist 4: The Siege Weasel. Game Master: So as you all filter into the hallway and the chamber beyond, the mist no longer makes its way into the room before you. You're looking and see Sarah and Beauregard at the ready. Nadia' staff lights up the interior chamber a little better. The light is still halved, but you get to make out the colors and you can see now across the floor, there are spatterings of

So, last we left off, Bells Hells, after a rather chaotic information gathering mission to the red Moon of Ill-Omen, Ruidus, you had traversed deep beneath its crust into the alien city of Kreviris, and with the help of the Volition, which is the resistance against the terrors that currently oversee that locale, you found information, you left some chaos, and in the escape, lost a friend through a heroic sacrifice. Arthur is no more. Gathering what pieces you can and making a tenuous alliance with Liliana, one of the high members of the Ruby Vanguard and mother of Gideon, you returned. (laughs) You returned to Exandria with her help. Upon returning, through a brief stealth mission and escaping the Tishtan Excavation Site, you returned to the west side fortress, where one of the numerous stationed elements of the Exandrian Accord have set up base, preparing for either the defense of Exandria or the offense on the moon. Upon arriving here, still numb with the experience, Maeve arrived, bringing with her a friend you hadn't seen in some time, Dorian Storm, who had undergone his own challenges as of late, walking here alone, having lost a brother, and

That's total balls, but I can re-roll a one. 30 points of fjorce damage. Damn! Nice. Of fjorce damage. Fjorce damage. (laughs) And with that, you duck back down just below. We'll say it'll put you about there. Yeah, that's great, yeah. So you don't get quite as far, but you use the rest of the movement to get back down. Mm-hmm. Is that your turn? It is. Actually, I'm going to use my bonus action before I duck down to cast Hexblade's Curse on Vokodo. You fucker! With that, he has been cursed. We all need convenient places to hang (laughter) Only a couple. There's quite a few options there. A lot of coat hangers. Okay. That finishes your go, Kaelen. As you pull back behind, you can watch as some of the long-dead plant matter in here begins to bloom green and then shoot out, and sink into the crevices around its body as the curse takes hold, the Wild Mother now bound in there with the Warlock energy. The Wild Mother has entered the fight. Indeed. All right, Julian, you're up. Derek, you're on deck. All right. I am going to wait and rear up for my opportunity, and as soon as I see one of his tentacles whip overhead, I'm going to leap and jump off. I'm going to grab it swashbuckler-style, and use that to swing around and come back at him with a double donkey kick to the face! Around that side? Yeah! Yeah! That works great. Is it all in slow motion because you're underwater? Yeah, just-- (laughter) Not for you, it's not slow motion. (laughter) As the tentacle rears back after the curse takes hold, you grab it in this giant swoop, and end up careening around. Can I do a little bicycle kick, pop pop? One bicycle kick to its side. Bicycle. Bicycle. That one's cocked, but this first one is 24. That hits. Stunning Strike. God damn, that is shit dice rolls damage. Seven damage. Seven damage. You take eight points of fire damage. Ugh. Stunning Strike. War of attrition right there. It's going to go ahead and use another Resistance. I have nothing to heal myself with. I mean, anything long-range-- He uses a Legendary Resistance? Yeah, he did. One. He used one this round. He used one, at the top. Yes he is. Yeah. He's using another one? Yes, he is. Okay. Okay. So he's used two total? Right? I think. Yeah. That we know of. He's used two? He has used two. I've seen some games where they don't even mention if a Legendary Resistance is used. They just let you guys figure it out. But I don't know. It's fun to let you guys strategize around it, so. Yeah, because our strategy's paying off fucking well. (laughter) A bunch of squirrels running around. 15? 15 misses it. Did we get it?! Did we thank you.

Input: It's a failed skill challenge. Everyone's already lost, but I appreciate, for the flavor of this, as it begins to tear and break away-- I'm going to help! -- you release your hand and focus, and you watch as this polished, large section of wood that's been utilized to maintain a mast of this side sail suddenly blossoms with greenery and flowers. It becomes this gorgeous, spiraling garden upward before it vanishes into the storm. No! I just thought-- That was the wrong thing. I need everybody to make a dexterity saving throw for me, please. We trying to stay on or jump off? Oh dear. Good question. Dex save, you say? Correct. Okay. Natural 20! Can I use my advantage for that or no? I can use advantage for that, right, or no? You see this coming, yes. 14. 14, okay. Natural 20, 22. Great. Five. A light just went off behind you. Uh-oh. 13. 13. 15. 14. It just came back on. Oof. What, what are you talking about? Oh, fuck me. All of you hold on tightly, quickly rushing over to grab onto something in the ship and dart out of the space around you to find something, some sort of mooring there. Oh boy. You are unable to find anything around you rapidly to grab onto before you are flung out into the dust storm. I'll hold you! Aah! Off the ship? Wait! Into the storm? You don't see them anymore. Did I see which direction he went? Make a perception check. How low to the ground are we? You're pretty low to the ground, thankfully. That's a 24 perception. I can-- They're gone. You do. The problem with knowing the direction they went is you also feel the ship going. Oh no! Oh no! No! Panic! Time to panic! It's like running on a turntable. Uh-huh. Ugh. Doing that Hawkeye thing. We're just all puking. I don't even know what the fuck to do, at this point. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Whoa. Kill someone. Freak out. Use the wheel! Oh boy. That's a lot of dice. Uh-oh, bludgeon. You go careening off into the shadow of this dust storm, the wind buffing the side of your metal before impacting hard against a piece of exposed rock in middle of the valley. Oh! Of course! The one rock in the desert. Clang. The one rock in the desert. There's a bunch of rocks. Okay, okay. You take 26 points of bludgeoning damage upon impact. Okay. Ow, ow. Xandis says, "I have to do it. It's the only way!" Pulls the ship up. No! I need everybody make a strength saving throw except for you-- Yay. I don't have to. Natural one. I'm going to roll again. Oh no. Two natural ones. Two natural ones. Two natural ones? Snake eyes? Those dice wanted you to go. You're going to the book for this?

Input: the Pentamarket. The crowds around you are fairly dense at this point. There are people laughing and talking. They're carrying various baked goods that are fresh out of the nearby carts or oven. The smell creeps into your senses and takes over from that point. Children run past and bump you in the side. Some are holding two ends of a streamer, and the streamers continue past and flap around, hitting people. It's adorable and delightfully intense. The guard presence is very much felt here, but everyone is in high spirits. You get the sense that everyone has been waiting to get to this festival, to this moment here. It's a much different atmosphere than the gala you had seen a week before in the Tri-Spires. Derek: They needed this catharsis, it feels like. uh... quite a party. Gwen: I want to find the most ridiculous mead out there. uh... oh, there are quite a few mead stands, so it's easy enough for you. Make an investigation check. Derek: Meat or mead? uh... watching. Gwen: Mead. Fiona: I want to find the candied apples. Gwen: 17. Very easy to find through a couple of sleight questions to some of the noncompetitive barkers. You manage to find a small meadery stand that's near the outskirts of one of the large arena structures, that you haven't seen used since you arrived in this city. As you approach, the older guy there, with this curled and unkempt chin-beard that looks like part of it isn't growing on the right side. You approach and he has all this thick, dark jugs of mead, and he is like, "Hey, you want some mead?" Gwen: Yeah, do you have mead that doesn't taste like piss? "I have mead that'll get you fucked up." Gwen: That'll do. Might taste like piss still. Marcus: He did not answer your question. Aria: That'll do, pig. Gwen: What's your highest proof mead? He picks up one jug (sniffs). "That one" and hold it out for you to smell. It's pretty strong. It smells slightly acrid, but not in a bad way. Just in a strong mead way. Derek: Slightly vinegar. Gwen: Still smells like piss, man. "Welp, depends what you want. Do you want strong or do you want tasty? You got to pick." Gwen: Strong. Derek: Oh yeah, good choice. That'll be a nice, fair filled cup. For a silver. Elara: This about when I run up: What'd you get? Gwen: Barbarian pee, but it's good. Elara: What are the options? He pulls up three jugs. He says, "This end, tasty. This end, fuck you up. This one, little bit of A, little bit of B." Elara: I'll take whatever's most expensive. Grabs the same stuff that Clara got, the heavier, thick stuff. Pours, gives you a cup full of it. That'll be a silver piece. Takes it. It's strong, the aftertaste isn't too bad. It's the initial, weird, sour, vinegary, impact, but then the sweetness comes in afterward. It sets well, and it's strong. As you guys are walking around and keeping an eye, you do see there is another stand that has an elevated platform called Titan's Grasp. There are four soldiers of the Righteous Brand, the Empire Military, that are currently manning it. They're wearing their plate mail of silver and dark-crimson design. A large, cubed stone, two feet by two feet, is set on top of this platform with a metal bar that is wedged beneath it, that it's leaning against. The metal bar has a

- The party observed a new location called Titan's Grasp, where four soldiers of the Empire Military were guarding a large stone and metal bar setup.


Input: He tried to murder her last night. Yeah. Mm-hmm. In so many ways. He was testing me, but he was saying many things, like something to do with a Hallowed Cage. I don't know if any of this is ringing a bell. They all look at each other. Gives a nod over to the orcin sorcerer, Qi, who immediately looks over, starts jotting notes down. Possibly that I maybe, I guess, would be a vessel for something. Do y'all know about the vessels? So what they're planning. Where to start? They want to wake up Predathos, right? What we've gathered-- Yeah. Is that they want to channel that divinity into some of the more Exalted of the Ruidusborn. And-- They have alluded to trying to find the right potential person to be the vessel for Predathos. Currently, I believe, it's my mother, although, I don't know if she-- I don't know what's-- She may be a spy now for us, kind of. Still feels undecided. Yeah. It's a lot of info. Parents are the best. Loyalty seems very thin amongst most of the upper echelon people that we've met. Yeah. They all seem to talk about betraying one another as soon as possible. There's also renewed sense of urgency. Seems like their timetables have all moved up. Mm-hmm. We encountered the five minds while we were on the moon. We've seen division among their ranks. The brazen attack last night, this morning, whatever you want to call it, there was no fear. He just came for her and then let her live, like with a test. I don't think we have as much time as we think we do. They were were all preparing. Yes, busy little bees on the moon, they were. Word through the streets about preparing for an oncoming attack. Hmm. Now, I do think we might've bought ourselves a little bit of time. The reason why we had to leave, make haste from the moon so quickly, is because half of our group was part of a plan that was a massive detonation, big explosion to maybe collapse some of their infrastructure. Yeah. Then the other half of us went and did a little infiltration mission to get back Evoroa. So we might have slowed them down by just a tick, but it's hard to say. There was a lot of explosion. Did you have time to speak with Evoroa? We have spoken with the-- Bormodo. The entity' is apparently offensive. The Bormodo known as Evoroa, they have been very forthcoming in helping us and teaching us a bit of their experience and culture. This Volition that you did business with as well, we are eager to make contact with them as part of the eventual siege of Ruidus. If we can establish a means of communication and plot as one, that will give us a grand advantage. and plot as one, that will give us a grand advantage. We are in the process of gathering many of our esteemed allies. Numerous champions have been gathering across Exandria to the various divine. I think we have a shot. What's the plan? Well, that is going to require us to

That'll be eight silver. Oh. Oh, that's just his speaking voice. Sure, here you go. 10. Thank you. Take 10. I sort of asked Elias out on a date. So did I. I kind of knew. I'm sneaky that way. And, I'm excited for you! Do you think you're going to finally, you know, do it? Not it, but go on a date! Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the plan. Yeah. Do you think you're going to do it? What? I am going into this with no expectations and on Elias's terms and her timeline. I mean, absolutely, it's all about what Henry Crabgrass says, right? 100%. Consent. Totally, just let her guide. Yeah. Guide you. But if you had your druthers? I mean. Yeah? I mean. Yeah? But we'll see. No expectations. I need a shower. Yeah, sure. Well, I don't know, maybe not. She's, you know... Xhorhasian. Mm-hm. The ladies here. Okay. I think you're going to be fine. You think so? I'm so nervous, dude. Yeah! You've got a flower. You've got a bow tie. I do. Okay. And you've got an open heart. Mm-hmm. Whatever happens happens. If you just talk, that's a win. Yeah. What else-- do I need chocolates or something? I got the flower, I got the bow tie, is that... That's dumb. I mean, I don't think she's into chocolates unless they're chocolate-covered grasshoppers or something. But I think, maybe just plan a moment. Just have a moment ready, where you can say something or do something that shows how you feel. I'm trying to channel Aria here, but I feel like if you open yourself and just are honest and open and vulnerable. Okay. You could be... likable. I could be likable. Yeah. I could. I've planned several moments. You have? Uh-huh, I've written them down. No way. We'll see, though. Oh, you're not going to tell me any. Thank you for your advice, Gideon. I've got to go find Julian. Okay, bye. And I just push her aside. Julian is looking for a children's bookstore at this moment. You know exactly the store to find. Yeah. It's been there for 60 years and still one of the preliminary children to young adult bookstores in Rexxentrum. Excellent, I would like to-- I am looking for a pair of books that I had when I was a child. One is a collection of Zemnian fairytales. Preferably one that contains a specific one. And then also, I'm looking for a-- I don't even know if it's in print anymore, but a primer on transmutation. Okay. And magic in general for children. Make an investigation check. That one's a little hard to find. Yeah. 22. It's hard to find, but not for you. Especially given that you know this so well, like the color of the binder, the pattern on

Input: 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. I got him. We're going? Let's go.

There is nothing in the safe but a single piece of paper. I move that aside, and there's a key. I take the key, put everything back, take the mask with me, and I go running off before anyone sees because I know where I keep all of my-- The mask, the mask? Yes, the mask. It's always on the wall. What was that piece of paper, Elias? Nothing that you need to concern yourself with. Damn. I go running into my lab. I open up this small closet with a poster inside the locker of it. Yes! I grab the box that's clearly been put together. Elias! Run and get dressed. We're going to lose him! Should we open up the safe? Yeah, let's open up the safe.

(laughs) Okay wait, if they're trying to do this explosion is that going to totally fuck up our plan? Or it might cause a distraction. A distraction. The bees on your chin are just fucking vibrating. Yeah, that one bee. It's like-- uh-- (imitates gargling sound) Like Darth Vader's fucking microphone-- thank you. Yeah. When the helmet comes off. Leave me-- um-- leave me-- Put the helmet back on. You're Beebo. Beebo, Beebo, Beebo. (laughter) You just got to eat that one. Beebo. This is why it's good to ask these things because now we know there's going to be an explosion, we can figure out where it's going to be and use it. Yeah, so we should meet up with Gaz and then-- Exactly. use it to our advantage. So we should go to the Villums? Yeah. This is a section of the city, so I assume it's going to be difficult to-- Get in. And sneak us all around. Somebody floated the idea of disguises. I can handle that for everyone. Disguises would be a good thing. For all of us, yeah. The problem is, if we separate, I will have no method of-- uh-- Dispelling it. Well, we don't separate-- From the people who I'm not with. I say we don't separate until we find Gaz anyway, because we all need to know where this explosion's going to happen and when and that would be a perfect time after we have that information to fucking separate. So we go to the Villums and then we separate? Yeah. But in a group disguise? Yeah. Is there going to be a theme? Where we're all kind of dressed like the same thing but different? (laughter) I don't know, I'm just rolling this around. Yes, I'd like that. Ooh, what should our theme be? We all go as different Eshterosses. Different Eshterosses! (laughter) Uh-huh, uh-huh. That's really good. Yeah. That's pretty good. What if we were all Ludinus? And we were just a group of his Simulacrum? Ludini? Ludini. Yeah. A group of Ludini. A Coppola of Ludini? Yeah. That's great. That wouldn't attract attention at all. Sounds like a nightmare. Yeah. A "Megalopolis" of Ludini? Oh boy. (groaning) Ouch. That's good. That is too hard for me to understand. I don't even know what that means. (laughs) You know the moon, what would a good disguise be? I was only half joking, really. Is to be Reilorans, or Bormodos, or-- Those really cute little-- (grunts) (laughter) Those really, really cute little fungus people named myceit. Oh my gosh! Yeah, I want to be a fungus person. But Julian doesn't know what those things are! It doesn't matter. I make an illusion. Yes, I want to be that one. How tall are they? Like this big, right?

Input: to rush past to head over this direction. This one's going to stay down here, and these are both going to come and leap down to flank Dorian. While this one comes up to Nadia. Dorian, why aren't you raging? Only one of them runs past. You are holding your reaction. Which one do you want to strike? The one that's running past, I guess. Okay. She's given up already. It doesn't matter to me. The killing's all the same. Roll an attack. Dinner time. Okay. Oh, that's right. You eat this shit. Oh, that's right. Crab legs. Are these the things? Fuck. Okay. That would be a 14. 14 hits. Okay, okay, okay. So I'm not raging. You are not raging, so it's just your attack, which is 2d6, plus your strength bonus. Actually, 3d6, because of Divine Fury, right? She doesn't, can only use that while raging. That's only if you're raging? Okay, so that would be seven points of damage. Seven points of damage. You hack into the back of its body. You actually throw it about two feet in the air with a blow. It lands and keeps skittering towards Nadia. It's wounded, but it's not killed. Okay. A bunch more begin to start swarming out of the walls. Yeah. Ooper-dooper! Yeah, feels like it. Come on, man. Look, why you gotta put the ones that are like the front legs up in the air, Game Master?

You suffer... five points piercing damage. Fine. Which is-- Nothing because I take it all. And seven points poison damage. And seven points of poison damage, okay. The other one against you is going to be a seven to hit. No, that's a miss. The first one hits you, the second one reaches towards you and you grab the front of its mandibles and shove it away. Pick up your weapon again, prepare yourself for the next round. Going against Nadia, there's two. It's going to be six to hit. Nope. The other one, it's going to be 13 to hit. Was it the big one that was a 13 to hit? They're essentially the same size. I just didn't have that many of the same-- The second one that missed, I'm going to use my shield charge because I'm irritated. Okay. That's 4d6 force damage. 4d6 force damage. Then, yeah. Then a strength saving throw. Correct. Whoa! That's pretty good. 19 points of force damage. Doesn't need the strength saving throw. You bring your shield down and it strikes the shield and at that point you push it off and you watch as the spider splatters against this stone pillar. Okay, okay. That's good. That's good.

Is that an extra charge? Not for you. Really? You'll give it to me for free? Yeah. Would you like anything in return? Let's just talk about it later. Just one section or the whole side of it? Go-- Fucking nuts? This is all-- Go nuts. This is your artistic expression. Do whatever you want. Comic Sans is an odd choice. It's just a flurry. It's just a flurry. uh, at which point, your final round of Ashari Breezers arrives to the table. Can we-- Oh yes, yes. To seeking and to finding. Yes. Right. And Tal'Dorei! To Tal'Dorei! Indeed. Here are the cups you requested to look at. These are fine, but if a bit pricey, but there here-- You can see there are a manner of these clay pressed tankards that look, by intentional design, semi-fragile, so you have to replace them fairly often if you misuse them. But you can see on one side it has sculpted a recreation of part of the architecture of the Taste of Tal'Dorei that spirals up. You can see it becomes a cluster of off brand dragon heads, like the conclave curling up one side and then on this-- Eyes are painted all weird. Yeah. It's slap dash and quick. It definitely has way too much iconography jammed into it. It looks a mess. Oh man. You get a discount on the brews on tap if you get it. If I have that cup? I'll take one. How much? Six silver apiece. Okay, I'll take one too. Oh, it's been too long. Fuck it. I've got you. I've got you. Two of those cups, please. Thank you. I'm going in for one, too. Me too, me too, here you go. Three of those cups. Four cups. Yes. Eight of those cups, please. Cheers. Discerning customers. You will make fine victims to the Rimelord when I freeze your corpses, and leave them in eternal winter. Thank you, you guys have been great today, by the way. This was going to be a really slow afternoon, and you've really picked it up, so. There's nothing like the gratitude of a theater major, is there? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I look at the orb. They care? Hasn't moved. So, now we have two places to go. Okay, well, okay. They said they were a few days. A few days out. A few days out, so we should maybe-- They said they were a few days out from their travels. They didn't say they were a few days away from here. They said they were a few days-- I mean, I wasn't in their head-- Is that what he said? But they said, we're a few days out from our travels. The intent you gathered.

We were just one step ahead of her, but she did a really good job and you should probably praise her for her efforts. I'll be happy to tell her and give her payment in words. For the nearly good job that she did. But I appreciate the candor. Thank you. That was one, you said there was a second? I had many individuals keeping an eye out, yes. Nevertheless, this is a good sign. Perhaps there are future things we could do together. Now this Nightmare King you speak of, I know of his involvement during the Apex War. He was a... figure for hire. Initially playing both sides before aligning briefly with the Stratos Throne and then went missing. Why do you bring them up now? He's around. Still seems to be a floating free agent. Well, he was working with Treshi. Trying to stir up trouble, make an excuse to bring forces into the town. Your big tower explosion, that was him. Just him. 100% him. Yeah. His fault. Yep. I can't believe he would do such a thing. Missing kids. And now he's partnered with some other folks from across the seas. Do you know anything about Otohan Thull? Paragon's Call? Very much so. We've had a few meetings here in recent months. With Otohan herself? At Treshi's behest. Ah. Oh shit. Has she... Been around lately? Not since the last meeting with the Paragon here for the ball. Have they sunk in any roots? No. Insight check. Make an insight check. Ooh. Nice. Nice, Silas. Wiggle that tail. Aw. 13. 13. That's better than 10. She keeps a very hard exterior and the words she chooses carefully, as befitting a politician of much experience. But you get the sense she's not necessarily lying. Kind of hard to read, you know? But she looks to you for a minute and looks across to the rest of you. The Paragon Call's interests here were put on a halt when Treshi's deception was discovered. So-- No wonder they were pissed. -- they have no roots at the moment. I wouldn't make ties with them. Fair enough. Then Ira, the Nightmare King. He's got his own thing going on and it does not look good. I'd heard this name mentioned when there were interrogations surrounding Lady Emoth, correct? Mm-hmm. Yeah, he was with her. Now he's with Paragon's Call and the Cerberus Assembly and they're all working towards something super, super big and gross. There we go. You said the c-word. Do you have proof of this? Get in that brain. Huh? Get in that brain. Proof of this, proof of what? That the Cerberus Assembly is involved? Yes, this is quite an accusation. I-- Is it a paved ground that we're on or is there any loose dirt or rocks, or? We had evidence. It's a paved ground that you're currently standing on. Not necessarily paved, but stones and... Gravel? -- gravel, but you're not far from a

As the tentacle swings out toward you, clawing past you with its raking teeth-- oh shit. That's 11 points of bludgeoning damage plus eight points of piercing damage as it carves into you. I'm going to use Hellish Rebuke on him. Go for it. Yeah, you still don't have any stupid arms, stupid! You are also grappled, as the tentacle wraps around you and begins to squeeze and hold you in place. The teeth and the thorns that are coming out of the side of its tentacle jamming into your body.

Nope, nope. Can't do anything about that. So on the hoof action. Oh boy. Okay, that's okay. Okay, that is... 34 points of bludgeoning damage. As its hooves come down and slam into your chest. You guys see water and wet red earth splatter out as it puts the force of its body down onto Sarah's chest.

They don't seem-- You're looking for something to hit, and these are not necessarily that. They are something of Opal-- Yes. -- thrown everywhere around you. So, they're something of her. Yes. So it's all one thing. Great. I am going to-- Is she 30 feet away from me, or do I need to move closer? You are-- I love that I'm all the way in the back. Yeah. Would you have wanted to be closer? I would like to be within 30 feet of her, if that's cool and chill. Sweet. We can say that you started over here. Okay, cool. That's fine. You guys are going to be clustered up. That's not bad.

Output:
- The group rolled high numbers, with Aabria, Erica, and Anjali achieving scores of 27, 27, and 23 respectively.

- The players determined that the environment was controlled by Opal and clustered their characters together to begin the fight.


Input: within 15, 20 feet around us and move through it. Well we could make it a two parter, Dorian. You or I could make some sort of a distraction, an illusion, you've done that for us many times, so that everyone in the garden looks one way and then like an octopus, create a little bit of darkness over here, do our work and then we take our new friend, old friend, with us. Uh, sure. Yeah, Planerider Ryn. Do you know-- Do Julian and Gideon or any of the Nein know Planerider Ryn? I'd say you've heard the name but you've never crossed their path. There's never been a reason. You do know the name because you've been to their sanctum in the Fire Elemental Plane long ago. Yeah, Mama almost died there. Uh, but you've never actually met them. So did Luc. Oh yeah, that's right. Pigeon coos. Yeah. He was fine. What's up, peely face? Oh, I think I left the mask on too long last night. What's wrong? Oh yeah, you're supposed to take it off before-- I thought it was-- Yeah, you're bleeding a little bit. Oh god. I just wanted to look good for the cow man. Would you like to make the illusion? I could use Marine Layer and we could walk up. Yes. Marine Layer always works. How obvious is the statue? Put hands on. How obvious is Ryn-- Can you make it look like anything else? Can you make it look like a red part of the storm? It's not a centerpiece. No, the fog obscures everything. So it wouldn't necessarily be noticed if it vanished? I don't think I can color it. Maybe. I mean it would be-- If we're making a giant red dragon that's coming out of the, or a big purple-- I'm not saying a giant red dragon-- I'm talking about the distraction. You're talking about the Marine Layer. We need to keep even the distraction-- Wrong character. If we're going to do a distraction, we got to keep it subtle. Why don't we start with the Marine Layer and then if it starts going tits up, we can make a distraction. Well, I just don't think-- What if they're going to be like: What the fuck is this. No Reilorans have ever seen a Marine Layer. There's no marine. They've never seen fog here. So, if anything, it'll attract people. You know what I mean? Well-- But if we can make it look like a dust storm, then-- That's-- I cannot make it look like a dust storm right now. I could knock something over. Actually... Don't mind me-- Just-- I can. -- knock something over. You can make it look like a dust storm? Yeah. Without playing our hand. I'll take Tim. Tim, do you know what we're doing? We're being sneaky, and then we're going to bring a friend back from being petrified. Yes. At 5th-level, I'll cast-- Do I need a 5th for that? I sure do, for a Major Illusion. I'll make a giant red tornado start to appear above myself and Tim. Then, I'll also use my feature, Marine Layer and it'll create.

Output:
- The group discussed creating a distraction using an illusion to move through the garden unnoticed.
- Julian suggested using Marine Layer to obscure visibility, while Aria worried it might attract attention since locals had never seen fog.
- Dorian and Julian debated making a dust storm instead, eventually deciding Julian could cast Major Illusion to create a giant red tornado.
- Gwen and the others agreed to the plan to use the tornado as a distraction while they brought a friend back from being petrified.
- Borlan mentioned leaving a mask on too long, resulting in minor bleeding, but the group moved forward with the strategy.
- The party decided to start with the Marine Layer and escalate to the tornado distraction if the situation went wrong.
