The Dragon's Vale | 21 | "There's a Show?", Part 1

WEBVTT
00:00:00.697 --> 00:00:06.737
Previously on the Dragon's Veil. So, the object of this is obviously to get through the maze.
00:00:06.917 --> 00:00:11.317
Am I looking at this upside down? No, you're not allowed to do it yet. I haven't said go.
00:00:11.637 --> 00:00:16.237
Did you literally just do it? No. Okay, there's a whole bit. Okay.
00:00:19.917 --> 00:00:25.017
Like you're saying, I'm, what, Pat Infernal? Well, this is the only place that
00:00:25.017 --> 00:00:30.537
I've ever seen this kind of design, this kind of skin markings. Huh.
00:00:31.297 --> 00:00:37.177
As you leave Fortunes and Fables, you begin to see a crowd kind of amassing
00:00:37.177 --> 00:00:42.397
at the main tent, and you hear, the show's about to start. Oh, it's a show.
00:00:42.480 --> 00:01:14.320
Music.
00:00:46.537 --> 00:00:47.057
We'll be right back.
00:01:12.397 --> 00:01:20.857
Prologue prologue opening nights were her favorite she loved the nervous fluttering
00:01:20.857 --> 00:01:26.217
in the pit of her stomach the chaotic adventure of performance where on a whim
00:01:26.217 --> 00:01:29.797
anything could happen she loved life on the road,
00:01:29.997 --> 00:01:32.997
never really belonging to anywhere, but at the same time,
00:01:33.357 --> 00:01:36.297
always missing the last place the Illum Saturnalia visited.
00:01:37.357 --> 00:01:42.617
She loved hearing the oohs and ahs from the audience, tasting the local sweet
00:01:42.617 --> 00:01:47.157
treats, and the way that the children looked at her with excitement and wonder.
00:01:48.137 --> 00:01:52.377
Nadja Zimfi walked around the campgrounds of the Illum Saturnalia,
00:01:52.997 --> 00:01:58.037
surveying the scurrying carnival hands, the artists, performers,
00:01:58.137 --> 00:02:00.297
and merchants setting up their stages.
00:02:01.377 --> 00:02:05.517
She was proud of how far her ragtag troupe had come over the last year,
00:02:05.677 --> 00:02:10.677
and thinking back to almost a year ago now, she couldn't have ever been sure
00:02:10.677 --> 00:02:13.117
they'd unite under her leadership.
00:02:13.937 --> 00:02:19.397
That thought brought a wave of sadness to her. It had almost been a year since she had lost Papa.
00:02:20.037 --> 00:02:23.157
She wished he would have been here to see what she had done with the place,
00:02:23.357 --> 00:02:26.737
and she lamented that he would not get to see how much Piotr had grown.
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:46.760
I've got a subtitle for it it's uh carnival part three clowns cry too,
00:02:49.220 --> 00:02:56.680
those poor clowns okay i'll give them a reason to cry yeah like the strong man
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.460
So, what I've done, I've changed the map a little bit.
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.240
I've taken away, excuse me, the rope run because I needed to make space for the actual tent.
00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:09.720
Now, this is where you came to, after you played some carnival games,
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:13.860
you saw that there was a large crowd kind of forming outside this tent and they
00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:19.060
were moving towards the interior of this tent as the main show is about to start.
00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:24.100
Each of these, you'll see I've placed some D20s around. they are going to represent
00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:26.580
roughly around about 100 people.
00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:33.500
So there's quite a lot of people around. I think there's about nine D20s. Whoa.
00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:37.780
Yeah, it's busy. This is rough. Yeah, it's busy, real busy. They're oversold.
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.140
Yeah, they've got a lot. To be fair, if I had bigger table, we would have it all out.
00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:46.520
Are these all Kernesians or are they from different places? Are they what,
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:47.400
sorry? Are they all from Kern?
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.160
Did you say they're Kernesian? Yeah. Canon. Yeah, okay, I'll take that.
00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:55.240
Well, we had Kernish this whole time. Oh, Kernish.
00:03:55.500 --> 00:04:00.180
You just went through all that. Why do we have Kernish? Yeah, I'll take it.
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:05.060
That's the proper term for us.
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:09.400
They are mainly from Kern. There are people who have come from,
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.880
I believe on the way to coming to the Carnival, you did notice the city was a little bit busier.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.840
So there are people who have come from outside of the city because of the Allum
00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:23.320
Saturnalia. So you can hear from inside the main tent.
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:26.360
You can hear the carnival music from outside.
00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:31.600
There is some music coming from inside. It mirrors that organ kind of sound
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.080
that you can hear in the background.
00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:37.240
It's just coming from inside the tent. So, as you get in,
00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:42.220
and there's roughly about 200 people in here, they're sitting on bleachers and
00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:47.180
in a semi-circular wooden bleachers and then in the middle of the tent,
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:54.320
you can see a sand pit and you do see heavy iron bars and things that are created
00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:56.540
for people to kind of climb up and things.
00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:00.700
And this is the same place me and William have been already,
00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:03.240
haven't we? Yeah, you guys. So that's good. So for you and I,
00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:04.520
we're like, oh, this isn't new.
00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:07.680
You're like, now you're actually like in the bleachers and you're sitting,
00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:09.520
I'll actually just... As opposed to underneath.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.860
Underneath and like trying to find those little teenagers to steal their...
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:16.160
Essentially getting our pockets picked.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.440
Yeah. It's our turn now.
00:05:20.645 --> 00:05:24.745
I don't know, today I've got the giggles. Because I just imagine where we're
00:05:24.745 --> 00:05:29.785
all space and then we've got a D20 next to us, which is like 100 people. Well, it's 100 people.
00:05:30.105 --> 00:05:33.885
So I can imagine like 100 people crammed into like...
00:05:35.005 --> 00:05:38.465
It's like five foot of like... It's like...
00:05:40.605 --> 00:05:44.645
So yeah, this would... So then there's us like... All the room in the world.
00:05:44.985 --> 00:05:47.505
We weren't told how tall the tent are. Maybe they're just all on each other's
00:05:47.505 --> 00:05:49.165
shoulders. Yeah, they are just... Like a little town.
00:05:50.185 --> 00:05:55.325
But yeah, they're a widely spread, dispersed crowd. So you're within the crowd at the moment.
00:05:55.805 --> 00:06:02.745
The tent, for height purposes, is around about 40 feet tall, at the tallest point.
00:06:03.025 --> 00:06:06.945
So it's tallest in the middle and then comes back down. So the guys at the top
00:06:06.945 --> 00:06:09.545
are really squished. Yeah, super squished.
00:06:10.405 --> 00:06:16.145
So as you came in last time, you saw Nadia, the person you know as Nadia Zimfi,
00:06:16.145 --> 00:06:23.005
the ringmaster of the Illumis Saturnalia, and she was stood in the middle of the sandpit.
00:06:23.205 --> 00:06:28.885
And you could see there was a large arcane sign above her that said the Illumis
00:06:28.885 --> 00:06:30.645
Saturnalia, and it was lit up.
00:06:31.005 --> 00:06:37.465
And as you pile in, silence falls over the audience as the arcane lights behind
00:06:37.465 --> 00:06:40.705
her on the sign flicker out, and you're left in darkness.
00:06:41.605 --> 00:06:49.265
And you do see a spotlight that comes on on Nadia. and you see her clear her throat.
00:06:50.272 --> 00:06:55.132
Goodly people of Kern, we are the troupe of the Illume Saturnalia,
00:06:55.392 --> 00:07:02.672
and we welcome you to enjoy a night of wonderment, a night of arcane artistry and magic galore.
00:07:02.732 --> 00:07:06.572
And you see, like, as she does that, flicks her hands, you see these kind of
00:07:06.572 --> 00:07:10.132
tiny little sparks of light that emanate off the end of her fingers,
00:07:10.352 --> 00:07:14.352
almost like a firework, and dissipate into the air.
00:07:14.352 --> 00:07:21.072
A night of arcane artistry and magic galore and of course she shakes her hands
00:07:21.072 --> 00:07:26.632
like out to the side illumination and she is like suddenly like illuminated really brightly.
00:07:30.172 --> 00:07:34.692
Yeah you can tell she likes that oh my eyes I look straight into it,
00:07:36.512 --> 00:07:44.072
like flicking off embers off of burnt trousers like ah ow being in the splash
00:07:44.072 --> 00:07:45.632
zone Like in the ember zone.
00:07:46.712 --> 00:07:54.032
Please now enjoy the story of the history of the Illum Satinalia and a performance
00:07:54.032 --> 00:07:59.552
that has been a year in the making and then suddenly blackout again.
00:08:00.272 --> 00:08:04.272
And you hear like the whispers of people talking beside you. Did you see that?
00:08:04.532 --> 00:08:09.092
We're going to see the show. There's this hubbub from the crowd that's like
00:08:09.092 --> 00:08:13.992
this like burbling whispers that start to grow as the blackout continues.
00:08:14.252 --> 00:08:17.012
There's no light at the moment and just
00:08:17.012 --> 00:08:20.852
as people are kind of starting to grow a little bit restless she's
00:08:20.852 --> 00:08:26.172
lit up again right in the middle of the sand pit and you see then the light
00:08:26.172 --> 00:08:31.692
starts to kind of grow and you get to see a better view of the whole pit and
00:08:31.692 --> 00:08:37.152
the surrounding area that would be technically kind of like the stage area even
00:08:37.152 --> 00:08:40.092
though it's outside of the sand pit she says.
00:08:41.432 --> 00:08:44.412
Once a long long age ago
00:08:44.412 --> 00:08:47.792
a man with a loot wandered through
00:08:47.792 --> 00:08:51.012
a magical land and you see now an
00:08:51.012 --> 00:08:54.152
actor comes on and you see he
00:08:54.152 --> 00:08:57.332
is dressed in costume he's got like
00:08:57.332 --> 00:09:03.652
brown skin and he has these fake long ears on you can tell like they've worked
00:09:03.652 --> 00:09:07.672
on this a while you can see that the costumes are quite well made and he wears
00:09:07.672 --> 00:09:13.912
a simple tunic and he wears simple sailor shoes that are just like little simple
00:09:13.912 --> 00:09:17.132
leather shoes and he carries a loot on his back.
00:09:17.954 --> 00:09:23.034
This land was known to all as the Feywild. And as she says that,
00:09:23.214 --> 00:09:25.654
she puts her hands out towards the audience.
00:09:25.994 --> 00:09:33.354
And suddenly, you see before you illusions that appear to be these beautiful
00:09:33.354 --> 00:09:35.234
plants spring up from the ground.
00:09:35.494 --> 00:09:40.334
The roof area of the tent grows to be like a teal blue.
00:09:40.354 --> 00:09:45.334
And you see these twinkling stars, but they are not kind of the normal star
00:09:45.334 --> 00:09:49.874
color. They're like pinks and golds and purples and blues.
00:09:50.234 --> 00:09:55.514
And all of a sudden, you feel within yourself, you feel like you are moving
00:09:55.514 --> 00:09:59.974
through jungly area, like a heavy forested area.
00:10:00.174 --> 00:10:05.734
And as you see this, not only like through your own eyes, but in your mind,
00:10:06.014 --> 00:10:12.854
you start to see plants, flowers, trees in really vibrant hues.
00:10:12.854 --> 00:10:18.314
And you can see the actor on stage moving through this area with you.
00:10:19.454 --> 00:10:24.394
The man traversed this magical land, learning all that he could about his craft,
00:10:24.754 --> 00:10:29.654
his musical arcane talents, and playing his lute wherever he could.
00:10:29.854 --> 00:10:31.914
And then he takes his lute out and he starts to play.
00:10:33.254 --> 00:10:37.854
And this song that comes out is kind of a joyous, lighthearted song.
00:10:38.744 --> 00:10:42.704
One hot day, he's stopped in the clearing of a forest.
00:10:42.984 --> 00:10:46.984
And at this point, you see he kind of is walking along.
00:10:47.264 --> 00:10:52.364
And because of the illusions, it looks like he's walking through like the Feywild. He stops.
00:10:52.624 --> 00:10:57.804
And you see what you thought was a tree begins to move like a person.
00:10:58.364 --> 00:11:01.724
And all of a sudden, like, arms and legs come out.
00:11:02.244 --> 00:11:06.944
And you see two people appear from that tree.
00:11:06.944 --> 00:11:13.604
And they start to wind their bodies around each other and they start to constrict
00:11:13.604 --> 00:11:19.984
themselves in strange positions and they go over and as you kind of look over the sandpit,
00:11:20.144 --> 00:11:24.844
you realize that a small kind of table has been moved out into the sandpit,
00:11:25.044 --> 00:11:27.764
which you didn't realize before because of the illusion.
00:11:28.144 --> 00:11:31.704
But they start to kind of stand on that sandpit, that platform,
00:11:31.964 --> 00:11:39.164
and they begin to balance in strange positions and, like, you can see them doing acrobatics.
00:11:39.984 --> 00:11:45.204
Where he saw an old carnival being besieged by three hegs.
00:11:45.444 --> 00:11:49.644
And then you see these people, like, are balancing on this platform.
00:11:49.904 --> 00:11:54.544
They suddenly, to you, look like they've become a tent.
00:11:54.904 --> 00:12:00.064
They stretch their arms out, and then these rolls of fabric fall from their arms.
00:12:00.624 --> 00:12:02.884
Make perception checks, actually, for me.
00:12:06.072 --> 00:12:08.992
So kate is in absolute one
00:12:08.992 --> 00:12:11.692
dimension and uh she got rolled a
00:12:11.692 --> 00:12:14.692
two okay yeah fair enough it's a good show like taken
00:12:14.692 --> 00:12:22.272
up by the show uh 10 11 uh william is so happy that he can now see a little
00:12:22.272 --> 00:12:27.672
in the dark he's just looking at everything uh but he's got 16 okay kate and
00:12:27.672 --> 00:12:32.872
ever are completely taken in by this, like there's loads of lights and things.
00:12:33.092 --> 00:12:38.992
You two see from the corner of your eyes, two people stand up in the crowd,
00:12:39.252 --> 00:12:40.392
one on either side of you.
00:12:40.912 --> 00:12:43.952
And it kind of takes you a little bit by surprise because you didn't expect it.
00:12:44.212 --> 00:12:47.832
And suddenly as they are walking, they just look like normal, ordinary people.
00:12:48.032 --> 00:12:54.252
As they are walking towards the stage, they suddenly turn into these kind of hag-like creatures.
00:12:55.952 --> 00:13:01.372
And Zagreus, it kind of makes you a little bit more concerned to begin with.
00:13:01.492 --> 00:13:04.132
Like you feel, you know, when you get a fright and you're like,
00:13:04.232 --> 00:13:06.472
you get that kind of nervous.
00:13:07.312 --> 00:13:10.972
But William, you can kind of, with that perception role, you see that they are
00:13:10.972 --> 00:13:13.752
actually wearing costumes. It's just illusionary.
00:13:13.912 --> 00:13:18.932
And they walk down towards the actor that's stood in the middle of the sandpit.
00:13:19.032 --> 00:13:23.312
And you see actually one coming from backstage, coming to the front stage.
00:13:23.552 --> 00:13:28.472
And they surround the man with the people who are acting as the tent,
00:13:28.672 --> 00:13:32.472
and you can see this kind of dance starting to happen, this interpretive dance.
00:13:32.812 --> 00:13:41.112
And the lights change then from kind of this warm glow to cooler teal color.
00:13:41.952 --> 00:13:46.392
Seeing this, the man was horrified. The hags were wildly powerful,
00:13:46.612 --> 00:13:50.872
and breaking through the tether of the realms would destroy the carnival for good.
00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:56.490
He could not allow this to happen. So he helped the carnival owners to trick
00:13:56.490 --> 00:14:01.430
the hags with his music and trap them there within their realms.
00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:03.550
And then you see like the lights go down.
00:14:03.770 --> 00:14:08.990
And then as the lights come up, the man in the middle who's playing his lute,
00:14:09.510 --> 00:14:14.330
suddenly the lute echoes so loudly around you.
00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:20.210
And you, I'm going to say it sounds suddenly like electric guitar.
00:14:21.830 --> 00:14:28.930
And he's so, yeah, it goes proper metal. And then you can see in this interpretive
00:14:28.930 --> 00:14:32.890
dance that he is guiding the hags and they are following him.
00:14:33.010 --> 00:14:39.130
And then you see from on top where the scaffolding was, a cage is on top and
00:14:39.130 --> 00:14:45.750
it begins to fall on top of the hags to be this pivotal moment within the story.
00:14:46.230 --> 00:14:52.730
And then again, the lights change from this kind of cool blues back to this kind of warm glow.
00:14:53.330 --> 00:15:00.150
You see Nadia in the spotlight again. As a reward, the carnival owners granted him one wish.
00:15:01.010 --> 00:15:05.750
He wished above all else that he could take the carnival back to his home plane
00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:11.970
for one year so that all the people of Kailum could enjoy the arts and the entertainment
00:15:11.970 --> 00:15:13.610
the carnival had to offer.
00:15:14.290 --> 00:15:18.950
And you see these two figures, They are clearly actors.
00:15:19.490 --> 00:15:23.470
They're almost like clowns. They don't quite have painted faces,
00:15:23.470 --> 00:15:25.970
but they do have these fake noses.
00:15:26.130 --> 00:15:30.130
And you see one actor is in like a heavy, like this heavy suit,
00:15:30.650 --> 00:15:32.670
really large kind of britches.
00:15:32.810 --> 00:15:37.930
And you can see he's stuffed some pillows down him and he's got like this big coat on.
00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:42.250
And then one is like a lot skinnier and he's got a top hat on.
00:15:42.250 --> 00:15:48.190
And you see the big theater acting where everything's a little bit bigger and
00:15:48.190 --> 00:15:53.090
you see the man go to shake the hands of these two men in front of him,
00:15:53.290 --> 00:15:56.810
this larger man and skinnier man, and shakes their hands and it's like a big,
00:15:56.950 --> 00:15:59.210
you know, I'm making a deal.
00:16:01.050 --> 00:16:07.190
And the audience begin to kind of clap and like, and then Nadie comes again
00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:12.030
and says, the owner's granted his wish with one exception.
00:16:12.250 --> 00:16:17.290
He was to return the carnival to the Feywild within one year and one day.
00:16:18.190 --> 00:16:22.630
They bestowed a Feywild shard within the carnival to maintain the Fey magic.
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:28.710
And everyone's, ooh, that kept the carnival tethered to the Feywild.
00:16:29.991 --> 00:16:34.091
Then the man brought the carnival across the realms to settle on the prime material
00:16:34.091 --> 00:16:41.011
plane." And you see, they wheel out this large cart and the people who are posed as the tents,
00:16:41.151 --> 00:16:45.551
they start to do some crazy acrobatics and get on top of the cart and they kind
00:16:45.551 --> 00:16:48.391
of wheel it around the sand pit and everyone's like, ooh.
00:16:48.791 --> 00:16:52.971
And this is at the same time when they use, they bring out Bubbles.
00:16:54.131 --> 00:16:56.511
And Bubbles has the cart attached.
00:16:58.671 --> 00:17:02.471
There's little bubbles and uh bubbles
00:17:02.471 --> 00:17:05.451
is the one who's pulling the cart and bubbles is a
00:17:05.451 --> 00:17:08.851
rather large owl bear um with
00:17:08.851 --> 00:17:12.331
a tutu on and on a little red tricycle
00:17:12.331 --> 00:17:15.851
and a big yellow bow and a huge
00:17:15.851 --> 00:17:19.451
ginormous yellow ball kiss bubbles does bubbles
00:17:19.451 --> 00:17:22.411
have to pedal like really fast to go not very fast at all yeah yeah
00:17:22.411 --> 00:17:25.611
yeah they're not going fast at all and the wheels
00:17:25.611 --> 00:17:28.611
on that little red bike are so tiny but bubbles is
00:17:28.611 --> 00:17:31.931
they're bent outwards on the mini yeah yeah
00:17:31.931 --> 00:17:34.871
um and all of the children as
00:17:34.871 --> 00:17:38.491
soon as they see bubbles and start clapping and
00:17:38.491 --> 00:17:41.371
bubbles rides around a sand pit with the tent and
00:17:41.371 --> 00:17:44.171
the car and there's a dance that's going on that makes it
00:17:44.171 --> 00:17:47.051
look like they're going through the planes does bubbles
00:17:47.051 --> 00:17:50.651
look grumpy bubbles looks tired okay
00:17:50.651 --> 00:17:53.351
like bubbles have
00:17:53.351 --> 00:17:56.211
done has done this a lot and i think bubbles is looking
00:17:56.211 --> 00:18:02.631
forward to a rest oh bless bubbles um and so yeah bubbles is like going on and
00:18:02.631 --> 00:18:07.711
the the children are cheering and you see the lights are changing as the car
00:18:07.711 --> 00:18:12.931
is moving around the sand pit the lights are kind of flickering on and off to
00:18:12.931 --> 00:18:16.131
make it seem like they're moving through space.
00:18:16.631 --> 00:18:19.971
The man set about establishing the carnival.
00:18:20.191 --> 00:18:26.611
He hired workers and performers, artists and actors, to populate his carnival.
00:18:26.691 --> 00:18:32.331
And now you see acrobats descend from somewhere within the rafters of the tent,
00:18:32.691 --> 00:18:34.111
and they start to perform.
00:18:34.331 --> 00:18:38.531
And you can see them in their normal carnival costumes. They are like glittery
00:18:38.531 --> 00:18:41.011
and sequiny, and then you've got someone with feathers.
00:18:41.951 --> 00:18:44.971
Contortionists are performing to the side and
00:18:44.971 --> 00:18:47.731
the lights are mimicking all of the different
00:18:47.731 --> 00:18:50.971
things that they're doing so you're able to see everyone but
00:18:50.971 --> 00:18:56.731
it's also just it's something you have never seen before throughout kailoom
00:18:56.731 --> 00:19:02.831
people came from miles around to see the spectacle the man his performers and
00:19:02.831 --> 00:19:08.091
stagehands grew rich and had a wonderful time this point you actually make a
00:19:08.091 --> 00:19:09.331
perception check for me.
00:19:10.071 --> 00:19:15.411
Okay, better. Ooh. Zag is enamoured with the tail because that's a natural one, baby.
00:19:17.431 --> 00:19:22.671
Natural 20 for a 25. Ooh. 19. Okay, so... 13.
00:19:23.291 --> 00:19:26.291
Three of you. So, Ever and William, you're actually...
00:19:27.057 --> 00:19:32.357
You rolled high, but you don't actually, I guess, recognize who this is.
00:19:32.397 --> 00:19:34.797
You never actually met this person. You did.
00:19:35.077 --> 00:19:40.037
You see a man in a top hat and a deep purple suit.
00:19:40.277 --> 00:19:44.937
The one that you saw him in was a little bit worn and a little bit... Is he the host man?
00:19:45.217 --> 00:19:52.697
Yes. You do see Mr. Ebony Wood come out to the center as everybody's still performing around him.
00:19:52.917 --> 00:19:56.457
And as Nadia says, it was a raving success.
00:19:57.057 --> 00:20:00.137
Throughout Kailu, when people came from miles around to see the spectacle,
00:20:00.437 --> 00:20:05.457
and you see him do a movement in the air to kind of symbolize he's casting a spell.
00:20:06.017 --> 00:20:14.037
And you see tiny little, let's say, bean babies that come from around this sand pit.
00:20:14.297 --> 00:20:17.177
And they look like they're dressed as actual people.
00:20:17.337 --> 00:20:20.617
So they have little like hats and stuff. And this part of the story is like
00:20:20.617 --> 00:20:22.597
all of the people coming to see the carnival.
00:20:23.677 --> 00:20:28.117
Question. I know. I mean, we're all not looking at each other with the biggest
00:20:28.117 --> 00:20:29.857
smiles and concerned faces.
00:20:30.197 --> 00:20:33.617
I already know what you're going to ask. Yeah, yeah. Is it still in Zag's bag?
00:20:33.837 --> 00:20:38.037
Is it a puppet, baby puppet? Your puppet is still in your bag,
00:20:38.177 --> 00:20:39.477
yeah. You can check if you want, though.
00:20:39.497 --> 00:20:41.177
Is he trying to walk away with the bag? I mean, Zag's not noticed him,
00:20:41.377 --> 00:20:42.397
so... You haven't seen him, yeah.
00:20:42.537 --> 00:20:44.557
You're just too busy, like, looking at some of the performers.
00:20:44.557 --> 00:20:46.457
I, as a player, am very concerned about the puppet.
00:20:46.817 --> 00:20:50.537
Zag is literally unaware. You actually haven't noticed him. I would like to
00:20:50.537 --> 00:20:54.957
turn and look at Zag's bag to see if Panopio is trying to get out.
00:20:56.477 --> 00:21:01.437
The bag sort of just ups and walks away. You know like a family guy,
00:21:01.517 --> 00:21:04.937
the episode of Stewie in the backpack where they're just running with him and let's check it out.
00:21:04.957 --> 00:21:07.757
Yeah, I wanna see if that's happening. Yeah, so you turn around.
00:21:08.237 --> 00:21:11.237
Zag, where do you keep your bag when you're sat on?
00:21:11.497 --> 00:21:14.237
Oh, he's probably like a normal person. He's probably going like under his legs.
00:21:14.237 --> 00:21:17.317
Yeah, under the little like, yeah. You can take a little peek.
00:21:18.586 --> 00:21:22.166
There doesn't seem to be anything odd about Zag's bag. Damn.
00:21:23.086 --> 00:21:25.806
It doesn't seem to be. It doesn't seem to be. As far as you know,
00:21:26.066 --> 00:21:30.146
you can't see anything moving around in there. Okay. Okay.
00:21:30.686 --> 00:21:35.066
So, yeah, you see this kind of spectacle of these tiny little bean babies making
00:21:35.066 --> 00:21:38.246
their way across the sand to Mr. Wood.
00:21:38.486 --> 00:21:43.806
And you see they don't make any noise, but they do a little grabby motion with
00:21:43.806 --> 00:21:48.806
their hands, looking like they're clapping. and you see like... Fireball.
00:21:49.986 --> 00:21:50.786
Watch out.
00:21:52.706 --> 00:21:58.886
And you guys' perception check, because, Keif, you're busy looking at Mr.
00:21:58.946 --> 00:22:03.546
Wood like, okay, I know who that is, Ever and William, you actually hear at
00:22:03.546 --> 00:22:08.046
this point, the crowd are clapping and chatting and they're focused on what
00:22:08.046 --> 00:22:12.306
they're doing, but people are whispering to the people next to them like, oh, look at that.
00:22:12.486 --> 00:22:18.606
But you actually do hear a couple of younger voices the man in the middle and
00:22:18.606 --> 00:22:23.206
they begin to that's rubbish! They kind of heckle him a little.
00:22:24.086 --> 00:22:29.726
So they... Meanies! Yeah, they're meanies. And if you guys look over you can
00:22:29.726 --> 00:22:34.226
see it's two of the teenagers that you went up against.
00:22:34.486 --> 00:22:38.006
I was about to ask that, yeah. So glad we stole their tokens.
00:22:39.346 --> 00:22:43.926
They sort of begin to heckle and I would say what did you roll again? 19.
00:22:44.606 --> 00:22:49.806
Yeah, so you both see that a couple of the performers have noticed this, including Mr. Wood.
00:22:50.126 --> 00:22:56.386
So, as the show goes on, the performers are all gathering around and,
00:22:57.458 --> 00:22:59.598
On the eve of his one-year anniversary,
00:23:00.038 --> 00:23:04.598
there began a great war throughout the realms of gods and men.
00:23:04.978 --> 00:23:11.818
It raged on, long and bloody. And then at that point, all of the lights go to red.
00:23:12.418 --> 00:23:17.198
And because of the shadows, the performers are acting out some kind of battle.
00:23:17.398 --> 00:23:21.478
Like they have these wooden swords and some of them are using magic.
00:23:21.698 --> 00:23:25.658
And in your minds, at least, I'll let you roll an insight check.
00:23:27.998 --> 00:23:31.738
Oh natural 20 nice for uh
00:23:31.738 --> 00:23:35.498
25 uh 22
00:23:35.498 --> 00:23:38.618
but what am i inciting for well i
00:23:38.618 --> 00:23:41.838
i will tell you that once ever 17 okay
00:23:41.838 --> 00:23:44.778
you can see all of this happening in front
00:23:44.778 --> 00:23:49.898
of you but you get the sense that actually this some of these effects that you're
00:23:49.898 --> 00:23:54.298
seeing like these lighting effects might not actually be happening in real time
00:23:54.298 --> 00:24:00.758
like you think that you're possibly and zagrius you are you've definitely cottoned
00:24:00.758 --> 00:24:02.198
on to this with your natural 20.
00:24:02.438 --> 00:24:06.998
Some of the show is actually just being projected in your own mind it seems
00:24:06.998 --> 00:24:12.638
to happen every time nadia waves her arms around that you get the sense that
00:24:12.638 --> 00:24:16.038
maybe it's coming some of it is coming from her like the effects that you're
00:24:16.038 --> 00:24:18.578
seeing it's it's cool It looks awesome,
00:24:18.778 --> 00:24:25.398
but maybe she has kind of powers that help exaggerate everything and make it look this cool.
00:24:26.454 --> 00:24:30.974
Like, Kate, are you seeing this? Like, they said the tattoo was going to give
00:24:30.974 --> 00:24:33.654
me, like, a vision in the dark, but this is insane.
00:24:35.674 --> 00:24:38.834
Like, you turn and do this, and she's just scoffing popcorn,
00:24:39.034 --> 00:24:42.334
eyes are really wide, like anime. You're, like, glaring, like, whoa.
00:24:43.594 --> 00:24:46.674
Like, huh? Yeah, I mean.
00:24:47.254 --> 00:24:51.254
Like, I can see everything now. This is crazy.
00:24:51.794 --> 00:24:56.174
You mean you couldn't before? No, when it was dark, I was useless.
00:24:56.694 --> 00:24:59.494
That's very cool it's red and like i can
00:24:59.494 --> 00:25:02.334
see in the back of my eyes now oh my god that's so
00:25:02.334 --> 00:25:05.074
cool i mean i was just thinking about how where
00:25:05.074 --> 00:25:07.974
do these lights that you come from and she's like looking at the ceiling and
00:25:07.974 --> 00:25:13.754
like there are no lights to project it's very cool oh you see this too oh yeah
00:25:13.754 --> 00:25:18.854
oh it's the show oh it's a show okay yeah it's very cool right okay yeah it's
00:25:18.854 --> 00:25:22.434
cool yeah sorry yeah no that's it's good that you can see in the dark but it
00:25:22.434 --> 00:25:23.474
doesn't always look like this
00:25:23.714 --> 00:25:26.534
is this is new okay this is well this is the show this
00:25:26.534 --> 00:25:29.514

00:25:44.034 --> 00:25:47.194
something's happening yeah you
00:25:47.194 --> 00:25:50.174
hear everyone just suddenly start murmuring and as that
00:25:50.174 --> 00:25:52.934
happens you see the lights go to red and like
00:25:52.934 --> 00:25:55.834
people look like they're fighting and every
00:25:55.834 --> 00:26:02.594
time so the lights start to flash and every time they flash red something different
00:26:02.594 --> 00:26:07.614
has changed on the set so like it's red and then red and then black and then
00:26:07.614 --> 00:26:11.594
every time it goes black once it goes red again everyone's in a still position
00:26:11.594 --> 00:26:14.474
but in a different position Oh, how very GCSE are.
00:26:15.654 --> 00:26:17.574
You can tell I did theatre studies.
00:26:18.854 --> 00:26:22.074
Well, they're A-level theatre studies. Yeah, that's true.
00:26:24.104 --> 00:26:30.324
It raged on, long and bloody. As a result of this, some of the open doors to
00:26:30.324 --> 00:26:33.344
worlds beyond our own were closed off.
00:26:33.704 --> 00:26:38.244
The carnival was stuck here, on our plane.
00:26:38.444 --> 00:26:43.524
And then it goes like this white, stark light, like, woof, and everyone is gone
00:26:43.524 --> 00:26:45.784
from the middle of the sand pit.
00:26:45.984 --> 00:26:48.804
Case jumped a little and some popcorn falls out of her bag on the floor.
00:26:51.324 --> 00:26:54.304
It's a real show, this. it's so cool
00:26:54.304 --> 00:26:57.184
i've never been to a show before are all shows like this
00:26:57.184 --> 00:26:59.984
i have no idea this is so cool i want
00:26:59.984 --> 00:27:03.024
to do this every day and then
00:27:03.024 --> 00:27:05.824
nadia walks out from the the side of
00:27:05.824 --> 00:27:10.484
the the tent and you see she walks into a spotlight seeing there was nothing
00:27:10.484 --> 00:27:16.664
the man could do he continued touring around kailung and the old carnival name
00:27:16.664 --> 00:27:22.844
was lost to the ages and you see the people who were contorted into a tent with
00:27:22.844 --> 00:27:24.624
like this flowing fabric.
00:27:24.964 --> 00:27:31.504
You see them doing this kind of interpretive dance around the sand pit again.
00:27:31.904 --> 00:27:36.884
There's a couple of flips that are two-person flips where they both flip together
00:27:36.884 --> 00:27:43.544
and roll and you see fabric comes down from their arms looking like a moving tent.
00:27:44.064 --> 00:27:50.104
The man continued to perform with the carnival and all her inner workings and
00:27:50.104 --> 00:27:52.744
all All those she touched felt joy.
00:27:53.384 --> 00:27:55.264
Everyone make a wisdom saving throw.
00:27:56.729 --> 00:28:00.909
Another natural 20. Oh, yes. A 4. 25.
00:28:04.169 --> 00:28:09.249
17 again. 8. 8 as well. Oh, damn. We fucked.
00:28:11.589 --> 00:28:17.209
William and Keith, you feel at this point moved to tears.
00:28:17.869 --> 00:28:22.349
It is so beautiful, isn't it? They're about to fucking cry and hug each other.
00:28:22.389 --> 00:28:22.769
William, I don't understand.
00:28:22.909 --> 00:28:28.569
There's anger and rage from the fight and now I feel so sad. I don't understand.
00:28:28.889 --> 00:28:36.069
You feel so almost overjoyed that you could burst into tears. I am crying.
00:28:38.669 --> 00:28:44.709
I don't understand how it's making me feel like this. You guys are enjoying the show.
00:28:45.249 --> 00:28:48.789
You're probably a little bit more sceptical on the sceptical side where you're
00:28:48.789 --> 00:28:50.849
like, oh, this is like Hollywood, you know.
00:28:51.549 --> 00:28:54.449
I've just gone to the cinema and I've watched a movie. Yeah, yeah.
00:28:54.809 --> 00:28:58.549
Yeah, I mean, you feel happy. You're glad that you came, but you're like,
00:28:58.629 --> 00:29:02.369
these guys are like, just... This is production. They're about to tip over.
00:29:02.569 --> 00:29:06.929
They're about to tip over and cry the whole time.
00:29:07.309 --> 00:29:10.929
William's like not moving at all, apart from his right hand that's just grabbing
00:29:10.929 --> 00:29:15.369
his right thigh and his jaw that's just like, pulsing as he's just like, keep it in, man.
00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:18.409
Keep it in. Keep it together, buddy. This is so good.
00:29:20.369 --> 00:29:25.009
We continue to hand this carnival down through generations.
00:29:25.589 --> 00:29:31.609
Our children's children's children now guard our heart and our extended family.
00:29:31.949 --> 00:29:36.689
The lights at this point have grown a little bit dim as she's talking about this.
00:29:36.909 --> 00:29:42.509
Enough that you can't actually see anything around her. It slowly grows very
00:29:42.509 --> 00:29:44.869
dark and she is just in a single spotlight.
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:53.459
We still travel and traverse the world today and are known by the light and the magic that we bring.
00:29:53.939 --> 00:30:00.919
We are. And she throws her hands back and the lights go up and the whole cast is all around her.
00:30:00.979 --> 00:30:05.599
You have the acrobats hanging from the ceiling. You have people climbing up
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.819
onto these really thick ropes from the scaffolding.
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:15.239
And they are all in their carnival sparkles and like amazing outfits.
00:30:15.239 --> 00:30:18.159
And as she says we are the lights come
00:30:18.159 --> 00:30:21.359
up you see everyone the illumine saturnalia and
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:26.839
like the sign behind her that says the illumine saturnalia suddenly like flashes
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:31.099
so bright almost so bright that you have to look away for a second and as you
00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:35.759
look back everyone is there it's like burnt into your retness yeah yeah just
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:39.899
for a little bit everywhere i look it says illuminate.
00:30:42.159 --> 00:30:49.419
And all the cast are presented and you hear an absolute roar as people go up,
00:30:50.419 --> 00:30:52.739
I can't see the booze standing up,
00:30:54.979 --> 00:30:59.499
Casey's video dude and it's like oh yeah okay and Stansom's like oh the booze
00:30:59.499 --> 00:31:05.779
again the guys and then everyone is like buzzing and absolutely loving it i
00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:08.179
would say probably zangrius ever and,
00:31:08.879 --> 00:31:13.199
I'll let everybody roll another perception check just to see.
00:31:13.399 --> 00:31:15.319
Woo, natural 20. Nice.
00:31:15.979 --> 00:31:17.939
Ooh, a 19. So 24.
00:31:19.154 --> 00:31:22.954
Eighteen. Twelve. So 20. Okay. 20, 20, 20.
00:31:23.954 --> 00:31:27.914
Actually, that's enough because not too far away from you, you can hear the
00:31:27.914 --> 00:31:35.074
teenagers kind of laughing and muttering to themselves and they're still heckling. That was crap.
00:31:35.634 --> 00:31:40.794
I threw my bag of popcorn at them. Shut up! It was amazing! And then I threw
00:31:40.794 --> 00:31:42.454
my bag of popcorn. You know nothing.
00:31:43.774 --> 00:31:46.934
Hey, that's not fair. Shit.
00:31:49.654 --> 00:31:53.534
You even see they bring out Bubbles and Bubbles does a little, like, like...
00:31:56.174 --> 00:31:58.834
Bubbles comes over to the side and all of the children, like,
00:31:58.874 --> 00:32:00.994
rush to Bubbles and, like, start petting him.
00:32:01.494 --> 00:32:04.894
I really want to go see Bubbles. I think I'm too old, though.
00:32:05.914 --> 00:32:11.634
No, Bubbles will love it. Nadia comes back out to the sandpit and says,
00:32:11.634 --> 00:32:17.314
Now, we're going to have a couple of performances from some of our performers here and our actors.
00:32:17.934 --> 00:32:22.314
So please stick around if you would like, or you may go and see the rest of
00:32:22.314 --> 00:32:25.814
the carnival. But whatever you do, enjoy yourself, please.
00:32:26.494 --> 00:32:33.034
And you see her move off. At this point, about, you know, a quarter of the audience
00:32:33.034 --> 00:32:37.354
go out and you can see them leaving the tent. How's Sag's bag looking?
00:32:38.574 --> 00:32:44.214
Is my bag leaving the tent also? Has it moved? Has it crawled along the side?
00:32:45.514 --> 00:32:46.974
Is it like a nice poking out?
00:32:48.854 --> 00:32:51.794
You can make an investigation check if you'd like. I love how everyone's so
00:32:51.794 --> 00:32:54.594
concerned about my bag. God damn bean baby in there.
00:32:55.514 --> 00:33:00.114
19. Zhang's bag is just under his chair where he left it. Damn straight.
00:33:02.354 --> 00:33:05.694
I'm sure if it was going to come alive, it was going to be then. Oh, absolutely.
00:33:05.994 --> 00:33:07.994
100%. Yeah. I think we're safe. I think it's just a good thing.
00:33:07.994 --> 00:33:11.014
I hope we're good, yeah. Yeah, and as people are starting to filter out,
00:33:11.174 --> 00:33:16.794
you see the next performer that comes into the sand pit is Mr. Wood again.
00:33:17.494 --> 00:33:22.954
So he comes out and he begins this kind of jovial, again, good jovial organ
00:33:22.954 --> 00:33:24.354
music kind of starts to play.
00:33:24.874 --> 00:33:29.774
And the little bean babies come back out and they begin to do little tricks.
00:33:30.034 --> 00:33:33.934
So they begin to stand on a little ball, a little wobbly ball,
00:33:34.154 --> 00:33:38.294
and jump over some small platforms that had been brought out.
00:33:38.554 --> 00:33:42.874
And as people are filtering out, not everyone's watching. Some people are just like chatting away.
00:33:43.354 --> 00:33:46.314
You begin again to hear those teenagers.
00:33:47.334 --> 00:33:50.974
That was crap. Boo, we don't want puppets.
00:33:51.754 --> 00:33:54.554
Has anybody got like, I don't know, just something that I don't really give
00:33:54.554 --> 00:33:57.194
a fuck about because I'm sick of it. Pass over a dagger.
00:33:58.494 --> 00:34:02.694
I don't think I could kill teenagers. Hang on, let's look. I mean,
00:34:02.694 --> 00:34:05.334
I could, but I'd rather not go to jail over it.
00:34:06.834 --> 00:34:07.834
What do I have in my bag?
00:34:10.045 --> 00:34:14.905
As you guys are just like rummaging through your bags we could throw at them,
00:34:15.865 --> 00:34:19.825
it's a can right is there stuff on the floor what's on the floor just empty
00:34:19.825 --> 00:34:24.965
like empty cardboard popcorn boxes and stuff yeah I'll just start balling them
00:34:24.965 --> 00:34:30.105
up passing them to the rest of the group yeah yeah that's true ammo ammo yeah ammo yeah,
00:34:30.605 --> 00:34:34.325
I have dust of sneezing and so you can't have that really bad light you want
00:34:34.325 --> 00:34:38.505
to kill everyone oh no that's real bad I have the kind of dust I've got that
00:34:38.865 --> 00:34:41.445
Yeah, as you guys are looking through your bags,
00:34:41.845 --> 00:34:47.705
one of the teenagers, so there's the really tall boy and the smaller elf female,
00:34:48.205 --> 00:34:51.145
you see them pull out a tomato. Oh, bro.
00:34:52.425 --> 00:34:59.365
Can I use prestigitation? And I would like to create the illusion of a swarm
00:34:59.365 --> 00:35:03.585
of bees around them with the sound bees. Nice. Okay.
00:35:04.645 --> 00:35:10.925
Okay, okay. So they throw the tomatoes and then you immediately like cast a
00:35:10.925 --> 00:35:15.345
prestidiation and would you cast it on the tall boy or the...
00:35:15.345 --> 00:35:16.185
Yeah, let's go with the tall boy.
00:35:16.305 --> 00:35:18.565
Okay. He's being a dickhead.
00:35:19.245 --> 00:35:24.165
And as you cast them, they start to fly around his head.
00:35:24.905 --> 00:35:31.385
Get these off me! And then his friend who, obviously it's an illusion for him,
00:35:31.585 --> 00:35:33.605
his friend is like, what are you doing?
00:35:33.845 --> 00:35:36.725
And she just slaps him across the face.
00:35:38.765 --> 00:35:43.385
And he's... He runs out and...
00:35:44.415 --> 00:35:50.735
Everyone make a perception check again for me, please, as this is going on. Oh, no. 16.
00:35:51.275 --> 00:35:53.315
10. Oh, damn. Two.
00:35:54.535 --> 00:35:58.855
Okay, you're looking at the boy who's running. 10. 10. You're also looking at
00:35:58.855 --> 00:36:01.395
the boy who's running. 16. 15.
00:36:02.015 --> 00:36:06.035
Okay, so as you cast that, you kind of like chuckle.
00:36:07.415 --> 00:36:12.675
And at first, it doesn't quite hit you straight away. is as the boy is running
00:36:12.675 --> 00:36:16.135
out, Mr. Wood has stopped performing.
00:36:17.335 --> 00:36:22.635
And he's looking down and he's muttering to himself. You can't hear it.
00:36:22.715 --> 00:36:24.795
You're too far away. Can I lip read?
00:36:25.315 --> 00:36:30.375
Can you lip read? I can. I've got observant feet. You've got observant. Oh!
00:36:32.255 --> 00:36:35.895
You can. I would like to know what he's saying, please. You'd like to see what he's saying.
00:36:36.595 --> 00:36:42.055
You can see him. there's a couple of words that definitely come out ungrateful
00:36:42.055 --> 00:36:50.295
is one and they'll be sorry he's about to kill some teenagers and I'm gonna let him and,
00:36:51.575 --> 00:36:53.315

00:36:59.635 --> 00:37:03.855
the boy running out and laughing at his friend slapping him you kind of turn
00:37:03.855 --> 00:37:08.395
to Will Will you've you've clocked that something's happened and you're not
00:37:08.395 --> 00:37:12.895
quite sure what is happening with Mr. Wood. He's just stopped performing.
00:37:13.155 --> 00:37:19.375
His puppets, his little bean babies, are just stood looking at him.
00:37:20.575 --> 00:37:24.795
Well, those kids really pissed him off, huh? Yeah, considering words out of
00:37:24.795 --> 00:37:29.735
his mouth are ungrateful and he'll be sorry, that always bodes well.
00:37:30.575 --> 00:37:33.395
You begin to hear... This show's going to take a turn.
00:37:35.458 --> 00:37:41.898
The music's changed. Uh-oh. The organ's stopped. The joyful sound. There's no more.
00:37:43.538 --> 00:37:49.738
And people, you notice that people aren't looking. They're busy kind of chatting
00:37:49.738 --> 00:37:52.478
amongst themselves and talking about the show.
00:37:53.518 --> 00:37:55.318
This music starts to change.
00:37:56.378 --> 00:37:58.058
I love this so much.
00:37:59.778 --> 00:38:03.798
And let me just show you what you see. Uh-oh.
00:38:03.978 --> 00:38:07.398
The box is coming out. It's a scary puppet. I'm getting the fire.
00:38:07.398 --> 00:38:09.678
I was about to say, Eva's reflexively going for us.
00:38:12.178 --> 00:38:15.678
Okay, so. Can me and Eva hear this, though?
00:38:16.118 --> 00:38:21.238
You do start to, as people are kind of filtering out, and as that boy kind of
00:38:21.238 --> 00:38:23.238
runs past, it takes you a little minute.
00:38:24.558 --> 00:38:27.658
He looks cool. Have a little look.
00:38:28.778 --> 00:38:30.838
Do you want to have a look? Oh, I've seen him. Oh, you've seen him?

I want to stay in this carnival for the rest of our campaign.
00:39:07.498 --> 00:39:16.118
You know, as he starts to mutter this to himself, he begins to look up towards the crowd and the boy,
00:39:16.498 --> 00:39:22.418
obviously I'd run out thanks to the casting of the bees, but he looks up and
00:39:22.418 --> 00:39:27.678
he sees the young elf girl and his vision hones in on her.
00:39:27.678 --> 00:39:33.018
You ungrateful little witch.
00:39:34.270 --> 00:39:38.670
I need everyone to roll a digital. Oh, my God. Oh, no. I like this dude.
00:39:38.710 --> 00:39:40.670
I don't want to fight this dude. What the fuck's happening tonight?
00:39:40.970 --> 00:39:44.710
What the fuck's going on, mate? Another natural 20. I don't have any dice.
00:39:44.910 --> 00:39:48.450
What did you roll? I'm down to the natural 20. Nice. That's awesome.
00:39:49.270 --> 00:39:52.950
They're in my bag because of yesterday. Oh, no. I'm on it.
00:39:53.470 --> 00:39:57.850
I mean, I can get it if you want. That's fine. Oh, look. He's already gone. Here we go.
00:39:58.450 --> 00:40:00.370
Wee. I've got a dirty 20.
00:40:01.070 --> 00:40:04.590
Okay. Oh, no. What are you doing? We're fighting the voodoo guy.
00:40:05.170 --> 00:40:06.570
I want to fight the teenager.
00:40:07.190 --> 00:40:11.470
Right? Tell me about it, mate. Yeah, you're right. She is ungrateful. Punch, punch.
00:40:13.330 --> 00:40:17.730
Oh, no. I genuinely don't know who the bad guy is here. It's him,
00:40:17.830 --> 00:40:20.730
isn't it? It's him, isn't it? He's the one who's got a mini, mate.
00:40:22.970 --> 00:40:26.090
The teenagers don't got minis. You know who it is.
00:40:28.590 --> 00:40:32.430
Just worry when he goes back into the box and pulls out all these initial miniatures.
00:40:33.030 --> 00:40:36.610
Because he's got an army of puppets. He does have an army of puppets.
00:40:38.690 --> 00:40:42.950
Yeah, but I don't want to save the teenager. Nah, you've got to save the teenagers.
00:40:44.230 --> 00:40:50.290
You have to do what's right. Are you sure? What's right is sometimes looking the other way.
00:40:51.830 --> 00:40:55.150
I've done that a lot in this last couple of days. I'm sorely tempted just to
00:40:55.150 --> 00:40:56.530

00:42:47.423 --> 00:42:53.263
goes is why yeah i was like i want something that just sounds awful like a nightmare,
00:42:56.443 --> 00:43:02.323
um as the boy kind of runs out in front and everyone's laughing you kind of
00:43:02.323 --> 00:43:05.403
catch zagrius's eye, you see that he's looking at Mr.
00:43:05.483 --> 00:43:09.683
Wood, and you can see Zagreus imitating what he's saying to try and kind of
00:43:09.683 --> 00:43:11.803
pick up on that as he's looking at them.
00:43:12.163 --> 00:43:15.683
What do you do? Where's the exit to this tent, please?
00:43:15.943 --> 00:43:20.203
The exit is, um, I'll say that Bubbles is gone, because I don't want Bubbles to get hurt.
00:43:21.103 --> 00:43:24.763
Let's say Bubbles. Bubbles just hard turns and squeaks away.
00:43:33.163 --> 00:43:37.503
Thank you for joining us for our first half. Bear with us as we go for a short
00:43:37.503 --> 00:43:39.343
rest and we'll be back after this.
00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:52.240
Music.
00:43:52.887 --> 00:43:57.907
Nadia, she is still here. Actually, I am going to roll some initiative for Nadia.
00:43:58.087 --> 00:44:01.647
But she hasn't quite picked up until Mr.
00:44:01.847 --> 00:44:07.467
Wood begins to say, you ungrateful little witch to this teenager.
00:44:07.867 --> 00:44:13.527
Nadia doesn't realize that's happening. She's talking to some of the patrons of the carnival.
00:44:14.407 --> 00:44:19.827
All of this for a heckle, man. This is a lot. Teenagers. Maybe it was already building.
00:44:20.467 --> 00:44:23.587
He snapped. Just as well as Agrius took that fucking puppet.
00:44:23.707 --> 00:44:25.087
I dread to think what would have happened if he didn't.
00:44:26.167 --> 00:44:28.687
You didn't take my gift? I'm going to fucking kill you. You say that,
00:44:28.687 --> 00:44:31.187
you're going to get stabbed in the neck. Right in the neck.
00:44:32.347 --> 00:44:34.447
Okay, so Nadia will go last.
00:44:36.027 --> 00:44:38.827
Whoever has... An I or... I feel like it's a J.
00:44:39.987 --> 00:44:43.167
N-A-D-Y-A. That was way off, wasn't it?
00:44:43.647 --> 00:44:49.067
That's okay. I kept spelling it with a J, so I ended up giving up on putting in Zinfi.
00:44:49.847 --> 00:44:52.747
And even that i'm certain i spelt wrong in my book so that's fine
00:44:52.747 --> 00:44:56.647
that's all good um okay right william yeah
00:44:56.647 --> 00:45:01.347
what are you doing so for the player the music has very much changed and minis
00:45:01.347 --> 00:45:07.107
very much changed it seems like bad time is afoot but for the character has
00:45:07.107 --> 00:45:12.407
the atmosphere really changed that drastically at the minute you're only just
00:45:12.407 --> 00:45:15.007
starting to get the sense that the music is
00:45:15.247 --> 00:45:20.147
beginning to go from this joyous organ to this almost discordant sound.
00:45:20.427 --> 00:45:24.107
So, no one else seems to have picked up on it at the minute.
00:45:24.267 --> 00:45:27.727
People are, like I say, this kind of represents like a hundred people.
00:45:27.867 --> 00:45:33.207
So, only around about half of the audience is filtering out at this moment.
00:45:33.227 --> 00:45:36.347
They're already filtering out. They're filtering out. They haven't gone yet.
00:45:36.607 --> 00:45:38.647
So, there's a lot of chatter.
00:45:38.927 --> 00:45:41.367
So, people aren't really taking in.
00:45:42.723 --> 00:45:48.043
Because my instinct is to try and get everybody out. If I think the situation
00:45:48.043 --> 00:45:50.603
is going to get this hairy.
00:45:51.503 --> 00:45:53.943
Yeah, he's just going to pipe up, everybody out, show's over.
00:45:54.703 --> 00:45:57.683
And just try and stop getting people out. Not like pushing people.
00:45:58.123 --> 00:46:01.683
Yeah, getting people out. There are still some people sat down on the benches.
00:46:01.943 --> 00:46:03.543
You can't help them all, but I'm going to help someone.
00:46:04.103 --> 00:46:07.903
Okay. So you begin to start ushering out and people are like,
00:46:08.283 --> 00:46:10.663
why are you getting us out?
00:46:10.663 --> 00:46:14.483
Like we we want to nonchalantly walk around you
00:46:14.483 --> 00:46:17.683
know it's really annoying people that you're like me man
00:46:17.683 --> 00:46:20.683
just fucking pick up the pace yeah you're
00:46:20.683 --> 00:46:23.523
stuck behind him in a queue yeah that's it that's it
00:46:23.523 --> 00:46:26.983
those slow walkers um yeah so as
00:46:26.983 --> 00:46:29.863
that's as i've i want to like everybody out everybody out can
00:46:29.863 --> 00:46:32.723
i follow along with them and try and blend in and get around
00:46:32.723 --> 00:46:35.543
to the other side with your movement yeah you can
00:46:35.543 --> 00:46:38.543
i how much do you want to move i want
00:46:38.543 --> 00:46:41.283
to get as far as possible i feel like i'm taking a lot of action this
00:46:41.283 --> 00:46:44.143
time okay uh yeah so you can have half
00:46:44.143 --> 00:46:48.043
of your movement because you're moving through a crowd of people so you're
00:46:48.043 --> 00:46:50.663
going this way yeah essentially i want to if i want to
00:46:50.663 --> 00:46:58.603
go if the exit is wide the exit's like here so yeah you can like there are people
00:46:58.603 --> 00:47:01.323
like bunched up and stuff so you can move just use them as a bit of cover as
00:47:01.323 --> 00:47:06.163
i go around try and get a flank you could probably get to here as you kind of
00:47:06.163 --> 00:47:08.283
as the people are like at the door.
00:47:09.783 --> 00:47:15.483
That's your action. Bonus action, hide. Make a stealth check for me, please. Hell yeah.
00:47:18.063 --> 00:47:23.103
That's a 21. Yeah, that you find, you feel that you are hidden.
00:47:23.103 --> 00:47:25.403
Delicious, look at that. That's such a dirty laugh.
00:47:26.083 --> 00:47:30.103
You feel like you're hidden within the walls of the tent.
00:47:30.683 --> 00:47:35.923
It's kind of shadowy around corner areas, the side areas, because the main focus
00:47:35.923 --> 00:47:37.523
is on the stage at the moment.
00:47:38.083 --> 00:47:40.523
So that's your turn, Zagreus.
00:47:42.203 --> 00:47:49.183
I would like to, oh god. Does it make you uncomfortable?
00:47:49.683 --> 00:47:53.043
No, no, no. This is me because I know what I'm about to do is really fucking stupid.
00:47:55.423 --> 00:47:59.123
Are you going to take the puppet out of your bag? No, I'm going to try and approach him.
00:48:01.203 --> 00:48:07.923
So I would like to try and approach him please, and as I do so I would like to use telepathy.
00:48:09.361 --> 00:48:14.801
To say something. So how far do you get to him? Do you go up to him? Do you not?
00:48:15.061 --> 00:48:18.821
I would like to tentatively approach him. I'm not going to get the full distance.
00:48:19.041 --> 00:48:20.381
I would like to basically...
00:48:20.901 --> 00:48:25.041
I'm not here to hurt him unless he hurts me or someone else.
00:48:25.401 --> 00:48:27.321
That's the dealio here. Okay.
00:48:27.821 --> 00:48:30.581
So you're in the bleachers, so you'll come down a little bit.
00:48:30.581 --> 00:48:38.001
That'll be 10 foot to ground level, and then you can move another 5 foot if you want.
00:48:38.001 --> 00:48:41.481
Or you can get a bit closer go
00:48:41.481 --> 00:48:45.341
the extra five foot okay so you go an extra ten feet
00:48:45.341 --> 00:48:50.001
closer to him so you're now just at the edge of the sand pit and you can see
00:48:50.001 --> 00:48:54.081
him he's stood on one of those small platforms that was brought out earlier
00:48:54.081 --> 00:48:59.861
so he's kind of raised up not too far only probably about three foot above you
00:48:59.861 --> 00:49:03.021
and you can see he has many little bean babies,
00:49:04.401 --> 00:49:10.661
and you cast I would like to cast Telepathy to try and communicate with him briefly.
00:49:12.341 --> 00:49:16.221
Okay. So you cast Telepathy on him.
00:49:17.201 --> 00:49:21.181
As you kind of come out to the crowd, his attention is on the female.
00:49:21.961 --> 00:49:28.301
And you can see her being quite scared. She tries to move off into the crowd as you approach.
00:49:29.121 --> 00:49:36.261
He flicks his head towards you. You cast it. You cannot connect with his mind. Yikes.
00:49:36.761 --> 00:49:41.821
Cool. It's either something that is stopping you from doing that or it is gone. Okay.
00:49:43.237 --> 00:49:48.757
Not cool, because I'm about to be bummed. Yeah, and the way that he begins to
00:49:48.757 --> 00:49:53.357
move as he looks at you is really stilted.
00:49:53.677 --> 00:49:57.157
It's not human. It's not like a normal person would move.
00:49:57.217 --> 00:50:06.917
It's almost as if he snapped and he moves into that jerky position and his head jerks towards you.
00:50:07.157 --> 00:50:12.417
You cast Telepathy. You moved. Is there anything else you can do? You're done. Okay.
00:50:13.677 --> 00:50:20.237
Ever seeing Zag go up she will move and stand next to him,
00:50:20.957 --> 00:50:26.157
so you go down the 10 foot from the bleacher area and you can go another 10
00:50:26.157 --> 00:50:29.497
foot if you want to she wants to be right next to him and obviously she'll be
00:50:29.497 --> 00:50:31.857
seeing all these movements and everything like that,
00:50:32.637 --> 00:50:39.277
and she just instinctively puts a hand on Zagreus' shoulder and casts protection
00:50:39.277 --> 00:50:41.397
from evil and good excellent,
00:50:42.457 --> 00:50:45.957
And until it ends, you're protected against a certain type of creature,
00:50:46.117 --> 00:50:49.757
so aberrations, celestials, elements, fey, fiends, and undead.
00:50:50.317 --> 00:50:53.177
Yep, so Zagreus, you feel that kind of warmth of Ever's spell.
00:50:53.817 --> 00:50:58.077
Ever, as you approach, he says, You're just like them.
00:50:59.677 --> 00:51:04.157
Ungrateful. You can see he is very ragey.
00:51:04.717 --> 00:51:12.897
And you, yeah, very ragey. You do see from the young boy who threw the tomato,
00:51:13.097 --> 00:51:17.017
you do see he is covered in tomato. It's just splattered all over him.
00:51:17.417 --> 00:51:25.297
As you kind of approach Zagreus, he's going to target you because you came first. Yep.
00:51:25.937 --> 00:51:33.197
He turns to you, looks you dead in the eye. No one appreciates a performance anymore.
00:51:33.777 --> 00:51:38.277
Get on the floor. and he's going to cast Suggestion. Oh dear.
00:51:39.857 --> 00:51:42.457
Wisdom saving throw. Okie dokie.
00:51:41.200 --> 00:51:47.440
Music.
00:51:44.657 --> 00:51:50.677
Okie dokie. 24. You shrug it off.
00:51:51.157 --> 00:51:56.537
You're hyper aware at this point of what is going on and the situation,
00:51:56.717 --> 00:51:58.077
how it's quickly unfolding.
00:51:59.317 --> 00:52:09.837
And in that case, You see him bend over and begin to talk to his little bean babies.
00:52:10.037 --> 00:52:15.617
He kind of whispers to them, Zagreus, I'm going to ask you to roll a d6 because
00:52:15.617 --> 00:52:18.117
that's who he targeted you, so you can roll the d6.
00:52:18.917 --> 00:52:21.777
Monk! Oh! I'm doing my thing.
00:52:23.108 --> 00:52:26.588
One. I don't know what order these are in, so I'm just going to take the first one.
00:52:27.428 --> 00:52:31.528
Not that one. I can't. That's for later. Oh, you got this one.
00:52:31.748 --> 00:52:35.548
Oh, okay. I don't know what this is. I'm scared. You won a prize. Yay!
00:52:37.248 --> 00:52:43.548
I'm thrilled. One of the bean babies walks out from behind his legs,
00:52:44.108 --> 00:52:52.248
and you see this ragdoll-y looking bean baby that has these really loose stitches around its face.
00:52:52.248 --> 00:52:55.688
You don't actually see its face. It doesn't have one.
00:52:55.888 --> 00:53:00.368
It has these loose stitches that loosely keep together two flaps.
00:53:00.648 --> 00:53:06.508
And from within that bean baby, you see this kind of greenish glow.
00:53:07.348 --> 00:53:13.328
And as it toddles out, almost walks in the very same way that a zombie would walk. Oh, yay.
00:53:13.648 --> 00:53:21.608
Over the sand, you see sticking out of its little back are tiny little pins. Oh, yay.
00:53:24.188 --> 00:53:31.688
As it begins to walk towards you. Oh, yay. I can't wait. I'm thrilled. So excited. Thank you.
00:53:32.568 --> 00:53:38.588
I'm so happy that this is happening. I'm so excited to be having this happen to me.
00:53:38.788 --> 00:53:41.828
Please take your puppet out of the bag. Please take your puppet out of your bag.
00:53:42.288 --> 00:53:46.908
No. What if it's like? Maybe it'll fight for us. Doubt.
00:53:48.088 --> 00:53:54.408
Then he's going to move. And Zagreus, because he couldn't target you,
00:53:54.668 --> 00:53:56.848
he's going to come towards Ever.
00:53:57.788 --> 00:54:04.948
For some reason, he just has this kind of focus and takes a cane that he has
00:54:04.948 --> 00:54:10.368
by his side and he's going to pull out a sword from it,
00:54:10.828 --> 00:54:15.568
a simple sword, and he's going to try and slash you with it.
00:54:16.868 --> 00:54:22.008
So his cane is a sword, so he pulls the skull up. Oh, that's a skull. Yeah. The skull.
00:54:22.428 --> 00:54:25.048
It's a skull-handled sword.
00:54:26.214 --> 00:54:29.634
It's 23 uh so like when
00:54:29.634 --> 00:54:32.574
you when you've got enemies like you can do um just like
00:54:32.574 --> 00:54:35.354
damage plus what but i i like to roll in case
00:54:35.354 --> 00:54:38.454
i roll shit because you never know i
00:54:38.454 --> 00:54:41.814
like to roll in case you roll shit as well that's 10
00:54:41.814 --> 00:54:49.894
points of slashing damage how you never went to the tent of long rest so uh
00:54:49.894 --> 00:54:59.714
yeah zags are pretty not good um and then so he will once he slashes at you,
00:55:00.334 --> 00:55:06.414
you can see in the same way that his tiny little bean baby has these long spindly
00:55:06.414 --> 00:55:12.394
sewing needles stuck in him you can see that he does have some on these puppets
00:55:12.394 --> 00:55:16.814
that he holds under his cloak I'll put a picture of the mini on Instagram.
00:55:17.594 --> 00:55:23.414
He takes one of those needles out from the puppet and he tries to throw one at you, Zagreus.
00:55:23.614 --> 00:55:27.134
Throwing at this distance? Yes. This guy's relentless.
00:55:28.834 --> 00:55:31.594
He really made a friend there. Yeah, he does have quite a long range of that
00:55:31.594 --> 00:55:35.574
as well, which is, oh, if I'm within five feet. So yeah, it's disadvantage.
00:55:36.954 --> 00:55:42.654
Again, you're too close. You managed to kind of dodge it out the way. That is his turn.
00:55:43.774 --> 00:55:50.734
Who's next? It is I. So, I am... I do what Keith does best.
00:55:51.074 --> 00:55:59.454
I see him attacking my friends, so I hot-foot it down onto the pit.
00:56:00.114 --> 00:56:04.894
So it's ten feet down. Okay, ten feet down.
00:56:05.014 --> 00:56:08.494
I've got thirty feet, so I'll use the rest of it. yeah five
00:56:08.494 --> 00:56:12.434
ten five five ten fifteen you
00:56:12.434 --> 00:56:17.894
can get behind him if you want please yeah and then
00:56:17.894 --> 00:56:21.694
I'm going to two-handed hit
00:56:21.694 --> 00:56:24.874
with my long sword please yep oh no
00:56:24.874 --> 00:56:27.914
no wait I'm gonna try something else I'm going to
00:56:27.914 --> 00:56:31.054
use a green flame
00:56:31.054 --> 00:56:33.854
blade and instead because i haven't used that
00:56:33.854 --> 00:56:38.754
before are you doing just to remind you are you doing your bonus action first
00:56:38.754 --> 00:56:43.014
at all no no okay cool yeah yeah no i know what that's like i'm not gonna do
00:56:43.014 --> 00:56:45.734
that yeah oh something different i'm gonna try something different for a change
00:56:45.734 --> 00:56:53.374
so yeah so i'm going to go and attack using green flame blade uh yeah i'm gonna do that okay.
00:56:55.114 --> 00:56:55.994
My time.
00:56:56.634 --> 00:56:59.914
Oh, okay, so with my sword.
00:57:01.314 --> 00:57:05.234
So, 18, 19, 20, 21 to hit. Yeah, that hits. Sweet.
00:57:05.734 --> 00:57:10.474
So, this then means, so, I roll for damage.
00:57:12.387 --> 00:57:25.007
Uh nine damage like fire damage then a little burst of fire little like little flame leaps off,
00:57:25.827 --> 00:57:37.767
onto the little beanbag dude okay and that takes two fire damage nice yeah bean baby one of course,
00:57:38.927 --> 00:57:41.327
Right, Kaif, you slash at him.
00:57:41.427 --> 00:57:45.367
And as you slash at him, he actually laughs a little bit.
00:57:47.087 --> 00:57:50.467
Oh, rude. Next is Decker.
00:57:51.087 --> 00:57:59.687
So upon seeing the strange chaos ensue, Decker is going to move down the bleachers
00:57:59.687 --> 00:58:05.507
and get within 10 foot, but not right up there.
00:58:06.767 --> 00:58:12.607
She's going to just catch Tiltut. You see her quarterstaff come down and this
00:58:12.607 --> 00:58:18.347
kind of strange, not quite ghostly fingers, but like almost a hand was made
00:58:18.347 --> 00:58:21.447
from vines comes out and just tries to grab him.
00:58:22.427 --> 00:58:27.047
So I have to make a ranged spell attack for Dekker. Wow, that was...
00:58:27.934 --> 00:58:30.594
That went all sorts of ways. I was like, oh, it's really low.
00:58:30.694 --> 00:58:34.654
Oh, no, it's really good. I saw your face, like, just going through the motion.
00:58:36.574 --> 00:58:41.574
That is going to be 24. So that definitely hits him.
00:58:42.094 --> 00:58:48.314
And you can see this kind of, these viney fingers kind of lean out and touch Mr. Wood.
00:58:48.574 --> 00:58:54.854
He takes a little bit of damage from it, but it kind of doesn't leave him.
00:58:54.954 --> 00:58:57.834
It stays kind of like touching his skin.
00:58:57.934 --> 00:59:03.634
Right that was decker decker is going to then just look over at both william
00:59:03.634 --> 00:59:07.234
she's going to quickly look at william no look for william she can't see william
00:59:07.234 --> 00:59:09.154
but then she looks to cave,
00:59:10.074 --> 00:59:17.354
are you all right i'm okay come help okay i'm coming and then at this point
00:59:17.354 --> 00:59:20.714
as the people are filtering out i would say this is still the first round so
00:59:20.714 --> 00:59:23.714
they're not quite gone yet And Nadia kind of turns around and,
00:59:24.334 --> 00:59:26.694
Ebony, what are you doing?
00:59:27.234 --> 00:59:35.474
And she suddenly realizes that one of her performers is all sorts of crazy.
00:59:35.774 --> 00:59:38.374
He's lost it, mate. Completely lost it.
00:59:39.274 --> 00:59:41.374
Is that how we pay? Is that how we pay?
00:59:44.294 --> 00:59:51.694
You hear almost these echoes of the song, the kind of this discordant song, that kind of melody.
00:59:51.934 --> 00:59:56.054
You start to hear it in whispering voices.
00:59:59.194 --> 01:00:02.414
And you hear this kind of fill the space.
01:00:02.894 --> 01:00:06.474
And you see it really affect Mr. Wood.
01:00:06.674 --> 01:00:11.394
He suddenly is almost not quite himself. He can't really seem to,
01:00:11.554 --> 01:00:12.974
a little bit discombobulated.
01:00:13.294 --> 01:00:15.834
So he's gonna make a wisdom saving throw.
01:00:18.671 --> 01:00:23.071
And you see him grasp the side of his head in pain. Ah!
01:00:24.311 --> 01:00:28.591
No! And it makes him even angrier. Awesome.
01:00:29.311 --> 01:00:32.971
That's exactly what we wanted. Especially if he was particularly ragey before.
01:00:33.151 --> 01:00:37.211
He's pretty ragey. Now he's really ragey. But he takes a lot.
01:00:37.651 --> 01:00:40.191
We need to give him a Snickers. Super rage.
01:00:41.931 --> 01:00:47.391
He's not himself. He takes... He just needs a cuddle. Yeah.
01:00:48.051 --> 01:00:51.411
One of those ones that you fight it, but your friend is like,
01:00:51.551 --> 01:00:58.291
no, and hold you more until they settle down and they breathe a bit slower and then they relax.
01:00:58.711 --> 01:01:02.751
Is this friends or stray cats? It might be stray cats. Both are fine.
01:01:03.331 --> 01:01:04.771
Stray cats are friends, aren't they?
01:01:06.391 --> 01:01:08.151
Like, you will take my love.
01:01:10.351 --> 01:01:17.931
Yep. I love cats. My favourite kind of cat. As these kind of strange melody
01:01:17.931 --> 01:01:22.031
whispers around this space, he immediately gets to move.
01:01:23.831 --> 01:01:30.371
Sentinel! I would like to... You'll use your action. I want to use my reaction.
01:01:31.851 --> 01:01:37.091
Fucking Sentinel, dude. I got Sentinel. Yeah. So I'll use my reaction.
01:01:37.711 --> 01:01:39.591
To fuck with the DM's plan.
01:01:41.851 --> 01:01:45.051
I have options to see. I have options to see.
01:01:45.811 --> 01:01:48.951
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to have a go. Boop!
01:01:49.091 --> 01:01:50.091
I'm going to try and hit him.
01:01:51.711 --> 01:01:55.391
Oh, cool. Yep. Oh, I missed. I rolled a two. It's okay.
01:01:56.091 --> 01:02:06.211
Yeah, that doesn't quite hit. He appears to you to be trying to get away from Nadia.
01:02:06.671 --> 01:02:08.331
Like that direction. Okay.
01:02:09.151 --> 01:02:11.111
Could have done with that reaction for something else.
01:02:12.831 --> 01:02:22.211
Then bean baby so at that moment when you strike out to try and get him you
01:02:22.211 --> 01:02:27.231
feel a movement beside you as the beanie baby,
01:02:27.891 --> 01:02:33.171
little bean baby you can see them moving in your periphery it's going to attack you,
01:02:34.111 --> 01:02:40.791
see I should have used my reaction bean baby it takes out one of the pins in its body,
01:02:41.671 --> 01:02:50.211
and it goes to stab you with it yeah I was like do they have voices no they've no voice boxes.
01:02:52.007 --> 01:02:56.267
That is a seven. Yeah, you missed.
01:02:56.767 --> 01:03:01.227
Missed. But it does make two more attacks. Two more? Jesus. Yeah,
01:03:01.267 --> 01:03:04.047
it's going to... What level are these little bean baby bastards?
01:03:04.447 --> 01:03:07.147
They're pretty high. They're not little. We're going to get fucked up.
01:03:07.427 --> 01:03:11.527
You leveled up. Now this is your punishment. We didn't level up though.
01:03:12.967 --> 01:03:16.207
Except there's only eight to hit. Nice. No.
01:03:16.467 --> 01:03:20.847
Okay, so it'll do one more melee attack. This time it's going to take that pin
01:03:20.847 --> 01:03:22.467
and try and stab you with it.
01:03:22.507 --> 01:03:24.867
Oh my god. That's what I would do. Jab, jab, jab, jab.
01:03:25.687 --> 01:03:28.267
Stabby, jab, jab. Get pinned. 14. Still misses.
01:03:29.447 --> 01:03:35.007
Yeah, doesn't get you. Chinks off of like my armor. This doesn't poke any skin.
01:03:35.107 --> 01:03:38.547
Yeah, with that new armor that you got, it just kind of scrapes along.
01:03:38.707 --> 01:03:41.767
It doesn't go in. Haha, little shit.
01:03:43.307 --> 01:03:49.247

Eldritch Blast! Eldritch Blast!

Eldritch Blast! No way!
01:06:55.124 --> 01:06:59.604
Eldritch Blast! I was already coming! Yeah, and at this point,
01:06:59.704 --> 01:07:03.444
people have started to notice, like, there is something going on.
01:07:03.544 --> 01:07:04.964
A kerfuffle. I would hope so.
01:07:06.364 --> 01:07:12.024
They're starting to look a little panicked. So you cast Eldritch Blast! Ya! Whee!
01:07:17.264 --> 01:07:22.184
As he's moving away from you from your area it just doesn't hit yeah that's
01:07:22.184 --> 01:07:26.284
cool that's fine he's still got my hex wave of curse so happy days man,
01:07:27.377 --> 01:07:32.157
Do you have to hit to do damage with that? Yeah, I do, because it's a plus two
01:07:32.157 --> 01:07:35.717
on damage rolls, not on attack rolls. Yeah, yeah.
01:07:36.077 --> 01:07:38.957
However, I do crit on a 19 as well, so that's good to know. That's pretty cool,
01:07:39.037 --> 01:07:40.477
that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:07:40.837 --> 01:07:44.597
So 12 didn't hit him. Are you going to move at all?

No. Nope, okay. Right, Ever.
01:07:52.717 --> 01:08:01.677
Can she, as an action, use her divine sense to detect good and evil? Yes.
01:08:03.097 --> 01:08:07.377
I can sense anything affected by the hallow spell or no location of any celestial
01:08:07.377 --> 01:08:09.037
fiend undead within 60 feet.
01:08:09.957 --> 01:08:16.137
He's very much undead. Oh. You're getting an undead vibe and he is evil.
01:08:16.717 --> 01:08:20.217

Okay, I'll make sure of that. So that's her action.
01:08:25.937 --> 01:08:34.177
And now, sensing that, she has now drawn her sword and her shield.
01:08:34.697 --> 01:08:41.297
And she is just going to get right up in his face to try and get his attention
01:08:41.297 --> 01:08:43.217
and hold him there. Okay, yeah.
01:08:43.577 --> 01:08:47.297
So you run up to him with your sword and shield out,
01:08:47.297 --> 01:08:50.917
preparing for whatever happens
01:08:50.917 --> 01:08:54.337

Kaif, he's going to cast Charm Person on you. Oh, dear.

He's going to say, Kaif, we met the other day. Don't you remember?

And he's going to cast Charm Person. You need me to make a wisdom saving throw, please. I'll do it.

saving throw today. Oh, my God.
01:09:57.757 --> 01:10:04.717
Keith, suddenly your mind's taken back to the other day when you helped them set the carnival up.
01:10:04.837 --> 01:10:07.757
And you remember Sheila, and you remember how much fun you had.
01:10:07.857 --> 01:10:13.897
Oh, the best time. And you remember the feeling that you got from being around his puppets.
01:10:14.097 --> 01:10:19.117
And he calls to you and says, Come to me, girl. Come and protect me.
01:10:19.737 --> 01:10:21.877
I will. I will. I'm coming.
01:10:23.917 --> 01:10:26.377
And that, let me just mark that.
01:10:28.313 --> 01:10:31.773
That's bad for everyone involved. I think so, yeah. I've got a lot of different
01:10:31.773 --> 01:10:36.273
fighty things I can do. Especially now I've got my new tight.
01:10:36.953 --> 01:10:44.513
And then he is going to make a look at Nadia, actually, because she just targeted him.
01:10:44.953 --> 01:10:52.313
And he's going to turn to her and say, I never believed you could run this carnival. It's funny.
01:10:54.113 --> 01:10:58.213
You were not like your father. And he's going to... Well, I thought you were
01:10:58.213 --> 01:10:59.713
a nice dude. You don't much anymore, huh?
01:11:00.433 --> 01:11:03.033
Never. You never know. Shush, he is my friend.
01:11:04.713 --> 01:11:08.813
That's my friend you're talking about. Stab, stab.
01:11:09.773 --> 01:11:16.513
And he's going to take out a couple of those pins and try and flip them to and get her.
01:11:16.993 --> 01:11:21.513
What, the little beanie baby or him? Him. He's going to take the pins from the...
01:11:21.513 --> 01:11:24.473
Can you do that when I'm literally right in the way?
01:11:25.133 --> 01:11:27.953
Sorry, not to challenge you enough. no no
01:11:27.953 --> 01:11:30.933
yeah he can he can target um because he's targeting with
01:11:30.933 --> 01:11:34.493
his attack he's targeting a creature so um
01:11:34.493 --> 01:11:42.533
i'll give her half cover um i've got her sheet up what is her okay that one
01:11:42.533 --> 01:11:48.533
goes uh wide um so it doesn't it's a weird way it's like it's not even like
01:11:48.533 --> 01:11:52.793
it's a weird It's like a weird clown laugh. Like they don't even know how to laugh. Yeah.
01:11:55.833 --> 01:11:58.493
It's like they're doing like that forced laughter yoga, you know.
01:11:58.733 --> 01:12:03.113
Oh, he rolled exactly the same thing. So he is throwing these darts,
01:12:03.153 --> 01:12:06.333
but he's not able to see his way around you.
01:12:06.953 --> 01:12:10.673
And he's just going to, he's not going to move. He's just going to call over
01:12:10.673 --> 01:12:15.093
to you, and like kind of beckon you towards him. Oh no. Sorry, Ev.
01:12:16.153 --> 01:12:20.733
That's all right. That's his turn. that would be Kaith it is your turn I'm also
01:12:20.733 --> 01:12:25.413
like you're gonna hurt me as well so we're gonna you're our healer,
01:12:28.533 --> 01:12:31.333
it's my go so Kaith.
01:12:36.037 --> 01:12:41.897
Kate's eyes will darken and he's saying come to me he's not just saying protect
01:12:41.897 --> 01:12:45.497
me yeah he said come protect me.
01:12:47.897 --> 01:12:52.497
You're charmed until the spell ends or until your companions do anything harmful to it,
01:12:53.617 --> 01:12:58.657
charm creature regards me as friendly acquaintance when the spell ends the creature
01:12:58.657 --> 01:13:03.797
knows it was charmed by you so when it ends you will know so what was it if
01:13:03.797 --> 01:13:07.737
somebody does harm to it so if somebody harms me the charm disappears?
01:13:08.157 --> 01:13:12.557
If somebody harms the creature oh so somebody harms him the creature being charmed,
01:13:13.117 --> 01:13:18.817
and that can't be contested at all like at the end of turns end of turn saving time?
01:13:19.057 --> 01:13:25.377
It doesn't say that because otherwise you're kind of like stuck in this perpetual
01:13:25.377 --> 01:13:31.517
charm state you know otherwise case just stuck like that for what like a minute?
01:13:33.057 --> 01:13:36.697
Until the spell ends so one hour and you
01:13:36.697 --> 01:13:39.577
can't contest that bruh unless you kill unless you
01:13:39.577 --> 01:13:45.037
kill the yeah yeah what is unless that person's been harmed i have to kill him
01:13:45.037 --> 01:13:50.497
right because you just said like no no no um his companions have to harm you
01:13:50.497 --> 01:13:56.177
yes yeah oh yeah so we can't do it we have to knock on conscious and yeah yeah
01:13:56.177 --> 01:13:58.657
yeah that's right yeah damn okay,
01:13:59.217 --> 01:14:02.397
Oh, that's fucking bollocks, isn't it?
01:14:03.577 --> 01:14:04.717
Right, well, in that case then,
01:14:04.717 --> 01:14:10.477
I'm going to go up to Ever. Do you want to move me next to you, Ever? No.
01:14:12.337 --> 01:14:18.517
You've got to come to me first. Okay. I can't reach. Oh, you can't hit me then.
01:14:20.737 --> 01:14:25.717
There you go. There you go. I will... Is it a concentration?
01:14:27.177 --> 01:14:31.257
Oh, for fuck's sake. yeah I know I'm thinking of all these things as well right
01:14:31.257 --> 01:14:38.457
yeah I will go in with two-handed because I used it before two-handed,
01:14:44.957 --> 01:14:53.477
that's okay I rolled a 14 my hit there you go so I miss you yeah so that is
01:14:53.477 --> 01:15:01.777
but But what I suppose I will do is spells and entry.
01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:09.200
Music.
01:15:09.040 --> 01:15:13.320
Okay. Do I do it? Yes.
01:15:13.740 --> 01:15:20.600
Being pokey pinned by the bean baby made me remember that I've just had a tattoo.
01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:30.380
So I will, as a bonus action, empower my tattoo for one minute. Okay.
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:35.360
So the tattoo is, I decided, was a raven's claw.
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:39.240
Oh, nice. on the side um pointing
01:15:39.240 --> 01:15:42.380
forward like in the direction of like I'm facing
01:15:42.380 --> 01:15:45.120
not backwards um and but like the
01:15:45.120 --> 01:15:48.140
so like the the part of like the claw which
01:15:48.140 --> 01:15:54.200
I guess is like the wrist of the bird yeah yeah the bird wrist and where the
01:15:54.200 --> 01:15:59.960
feathers start to join the feathers uh become smoky tendrils oh nice quite similar
01:15:59.960 --> 01:16:05.160
to like the tattoos yeah because we had the conversation about how they were kind of like,
01:16:05.460 --> 01:16:07.440
so the tattooist made them a bit like that.
01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:11.680
So I've got like these flamey, smokey tendrils that turn into a Raven's Claw.
01:16:12.040 --> 01:16:21.140
Nice, that's cool. So that starts to shimmer, ready for my rest of the fight. Okay, cool.
01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:28.140
So yeah, you guys can see the Kaeth's tattoos starting to kind of make the shimmery glow.
01:16:28.760 --> 01:16:30.160
This is bad.
01:16:31.861 --> 01:16:38.121
Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle. Okay, Kaith, that is you. Next up is Decker.
01:16:38.401 --> 01:16:43.561
She sees that you go over to, and you are going to hit Ever.
01:16:44.481 --> 01:16:48.241
And she calls out to you, Kaith, what are you doing?
01:16:49.381 --> 01:16:57.541
And she's going to cast Thermaturgy, and her voice is going to bellow in your ear. Stop!
01:16:58.261 --> 01:17:02.621
As she sees you trying to hit Ever. uh kate's
01:17:02.621 --> 01:17:05.641
um eyes continue to darken more
01:17:05.641 --> 01:17:08.741
and more as she just like comes more focused now
01:17:08.741 --> 01:17:11.941
on getting ever okay so
01:17:11.941 --> 01:17:15.501
it's like it just literally falls on deaf ears yeah your ally
01:17:15.501 --> 01:17:18.521
is getting smashed by ever okay uh
01:17:18.521 --> 01:17:21.781
that's all she's gonna do she's probably gonna move closer because
01:17:21.781 --> 01:17:24.481
she doesn't quite understand she doesn't know that
01:17:24.481 --> 01:17:28.501
you've been uh charmed so she'll move
01:17:28.501 --> 01:17:32.701
to like there and at this point you do see there are more people like pouring
01:17:32.701 --> 01:17:37.701
out and people are starting to panic and you can hear raised voices of people
01:17:37.701 --> 01:17:43.401
being like there's a fight there's a fight that's decker and then this bean
01:17:43.401 --> 01:17:48.281
baby has come over to nadia and she is quite concerned,
01:17:49.221 --> 01:17:52.341
she's gonna look over to ebony and just
01:17:52.341 --> 01:17:54.981
shout call them off what are you
01:17:54.981 --> 01:17:58.501
doing you're going to ruin the show and she's
01:17:58.501 --> 01:18:04.721
gonna try and get his attention that is her turn and before oh no it's bean
01:18:04.721 --> 01:18:11.321
baby bean baby my fucking bean baby that's bean baby i've just realized you're
01:18:11.321 --> 01:18:15.581
holding a wad of papers yeah different characters yeah yep.
01:18:16.918 --> 01:18:21.258
Go, go, go, go, go. Everyone's got an abundance of hit points, right? No.
01:18:21.758 --> 01:18:24.878
I just had ten of mine down from one hit.
01:18:25.298 --> 01:18:29.018
You have done some damage to him, though, so, you know, he's not...
01:18:29.018 --> 01:18:33.038
Yeah, my main concern is the whole charm person crap because it doesn't specify,
01:18:33.138 --> 01:18:34.678
and I'm just so bad about it.
01:18:34.758 --> 01:18:38.198
Yeah, I'll find out in the break, but what we'll do is we'll do Bean Baby first.
01:18:38.518 --> 01:18:43.458
It's going to make a ranged attack against you, Zagreus. Yay!
01:18:44.618 --> 01:18:49.478
He heard me. He knows how mad I am about the Charm person. He's going to throw
01:18:49.478 --> 01:18:55.058
the pins that are stuck into his back. He has multiple pins in him and his little
01:18:55.058 --> 01:18:58.018
green eye in his face is glowing.
01:19:01.038 --> 01:19:06.498
14. Oh yeah, that'll hit. Is that doll also an undead?
01:19:07.878 --> 01:19:10.538
Have you got your armor equipped? You've got your armor equipped.
01:19:10.698 --> 01:19:12.718
No, the doll is not undead. I thought I had.
01:19:13.798 --> 01:19:17.218
Sonny, because obviously he's got the protection, Nick. The creatures are the
01:19:17.218 --> 01:19:19.538
types of thing have disadvantage on attack rolls.
01:19:19.878 --> 01:19:22.978
I was about to ask what protection from Good Needle does. And you also can't
01:19:22.978 --> 01:19:24.238
be charmed, frightened, or possessed.
01:19:24.618 --> 01:19:26.958
Hey! Eat shit, fuck lord!
01:19:27.918 --> 01:19:31.058
You ain't getting me, bitch! That's actually really handy. Really handy.
01:19:32.338 --> 01:19:38.138
Okay, Zagreus, you take two points of piercing damage. Eat shit, fuck lord.
01:19:39.058 --> 01:19:40.598
You only hit first!
01:19:42.538 --> 01:19:45.538
Um and seeing that
01:19:45.538 --> 01:19:48.758

01:19:48.758 --> 01:19:51.918

01:20:17.998 --> 01:20:22.698
She does take eight points off damage,
01:20:23.498 --> 01:20:28.818
she actually has a needle in the side of her and Zagreus you're looking over
01:20:28.818 --> 01:20:32.998
as it attacked you as well and it pulls it back out but you can see there's
01:20:32.998 --> 01:20:39.618
like quite a lot of well there's a good amount of damage that she's taken ouch okay And with that,
01:20:39.658 --> 01:20:42.678
we will cut to our long rest.

Thank you so much for listening and we'll see you in part two.
01:20:48.240 --> 01:21:23.158
