Hi, I'm Ilia.
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:05.519
Ramsey.
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:06.080
Philippa.
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:07.040
Shaw.
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.400
And I'm your DM Seth.
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:09.599
Welcome to Venture Forth.
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:18.399
Gather round ye gentles, I've another tale to tell Of woe-begotten heroes and repentant now duels.
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.519
Of villains and their scheming and the fools that heed the call.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:35.439
Sweet melodies to ensure that they venture for the venture.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.600
For they venture dueling dragons in a dungeon.
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.079
Tothing trolls till the toes repeal.
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.560
Of course they venture.
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.039
For they venture, thou may start to trust a notch fair when a devil's at the knee.
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.000
They discovered darkness laser found some save.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.159
There's a mage with much ambition.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.480
There's a morning at the gate.
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.680
When last we left our heroes.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.599
In the aftermath of the first sprouting celebration, you learned that Governor BlackRock has fallen.
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:23.199
In the chaos of the evening, guests were escorted to designated holding areas while the coin clubs, the Thornwatch, and the Governor's private security sorted through attendees, checking names against the guest lists and confirming identities.
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:32.080
As you were escorted to the relic hall, Tackett called in a favor from Elia and asked for her help, interviewing a group being held under suspicion of involvement with the evening's events.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.800
Tackett and Elia tried many tactics to get the Craytic group to cooperate, but clever and slippery as they were, it was slow going.
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.919
At the end of his patience, Tackett threatened the thieves with indefinite imprisonment and worse.
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.599
And eventually they did relent.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:58.479
The group told Tackett and Elia they had been sent to a meeting place north of town, where a lizard folk shaman named Ugzi gave them their task to find the 14-sided object that has lately been the focus of so many concerns here within BlackRock.
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:05.680
Meanwhile, downstairs, the rest of you sat amid the various treasures of the relic hall when a small gnomish figure was shoved into your holding area.
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.479
He had, as it turned out, been meaning to speak with you all along.
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:14.879
Bilderun Bigglebopper, known to most as Bill, shared his problem, a string of unexplained deaths at his logging camps.
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.039
And after a quick measure of his character and a group conversation around next steps, you agreed to help if you were able.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.560
I saw, yeah, you you were like, you saw something.
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.759
It was great.
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.080
Um but we come back to you all.
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.960
You are here within the relic hall, surrounded by the governor's private collection of her various treasures.
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:05.039
Um as you guys sit here, you hear dimly through the closed door the slow sort of dying of noise.
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.960
You hear, you know, occasionally like, this is preposterous, and all these different kinds of phrases.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:17.279
But eventually that that dull roar dims and it gets quieter.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.519
As you find yourselves alone in this room.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.639
Well, not alone, but with Bill and your few guards in attendance, the sun has fully set now.
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.000
It is night out.
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.040
Is there anything in particular you guys are doing while you're uh while you're waiting here in this room?
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.879
I just think I could probably get the dagger if I Sure.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:35.920
What?
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:46.639
Why don't we just come back when there's not coin clubs around every corner and the governor hasn't literally just been executed?
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.240
I already tried to take something, and there are too many coin clubs around.
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:51.199
Fair enough.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.360
I just want something for our next endeavor, is kind of what I'm getting at.
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.439
Your insecurity and your abilities is well documented.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.240
But uh I don't think now is the time.
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.759
What are you talking about?
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.720
He wants the dagger because he doesn't think he can perform.
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.399
I think he can perform fine.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:08.879
He's better than that.
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.319
I'm not, I am speaking to his opinions about himself, not my uh evaluation.
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.720
I I think that's an incorrect evaluation.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.319
Not doing as well as I wanted.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.360
There's no evaluation that Right, you're here with us.
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:22.240
So sorry.
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.800
What happened in that uh thing?
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.600
I don't want to talk about it in front of all the cry clubs.
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.600
You're right, it's much more normal for us to just whisper in the corner.
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:36.959
Yeah.
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.560
Obviously.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.079
Do you need to be here?
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.560
And uh are we uh going to be released sometime?
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.600
Um be bringing food in.
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:50.800
Oh.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.160
You see, as like the coin club kind of looks at you guys.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.519
Are you you're hungry?
00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.040
Did you not eat?
00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.680
Did you not get in?
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.800
Yes, but it's been saving your asses.
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.439
We did kill many of those creatures.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.519
Yes, it works up quite the appetite.
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.839
Uh dispatching justice unto those.
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.680
And I can't really eat in this dress, so I haven't eaten quite yet.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.160
Um is rather sexist of you not to have uh observed that price.
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:23.199
Okay.
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:31.040
Um and he Also, uh mostly if if Taka could just let us know how long we're expected to remain, because obviously we were not part of any.
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.879
She just starts across the room.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.839
Because obviously we were not part of any actions that happened here tonight since we tried to save everyone.
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.800
He opens the door, and as the door swings open, you see standing there, like almost prepped to knock on the door.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.920
You see Tacket as he like steps back briefly.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:56.639
As I'm like yelling at everything alright in here?
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.959
Taggett, are we freeze?
00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.920
Can we go now?
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.079
He he turns to the coin club.
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.480
They're fine, and he waves you guys all out and and waves you out of the room.
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:12.480
Um, he f kind of like does a quick glance at all of you and then looks down at Bill.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:13.600
Mr.
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.920
Big Obver, you you can go.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.920
And Bill's like, oh, alright.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.160
Well, um, you don't want me to stick around or anything?
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.319
You know, I thought some stuff.
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.680
And Taggett's like, no.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.240
Alright, Taggett.
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.839
Um, well, maybe the uh he maybe um I kind of talked to these guys and they might be able to actually help me out with the thing that I was talking to you about the other day.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.920
So maybe um that and he just like holds a thumbs up.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.040
Taggett looks at you all and kind of raises an eyebrow.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:44.800
Standing citizens.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.199
We'll we'll decide.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.759
We'll get back to you on that, Bill.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.680
Well, I mean, okay, if you guys if you guys can, it's it's fine.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.439
I appreciate it anyhow.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.360
But it seems like we likely can, but we we might have some pressing matters.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.759
We we need to organize Yeah, you know.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.639
Oh, it's it's fine.
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.600
People are just, you know, dying out there, so anyway.
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.920
Uh thank you guys, and uh I appreciate you very much, and uh maybe I'll uh I'll I'll catch you later.
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.079
Um people are dying everywhere.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.079
But uh have a have a good night.
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.279
Um and if you need to see me, um I told you guys where I lived, right?
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:21.600
Yes.
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.800
Okay, good, good, good, good.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.720
Um, so yeah, stop on by anytime.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:31.120
And he like holds up his belt, and on the way out, he kinda gives eyes at the coin club who like shoved him in here.
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.519
Just kind of like, see you later.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.600
Walks out, uh walks out of the door, and Tacket just kind of watches him leave.
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.879
All right, um.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.240
Sorry, it's been a little bit.
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.080
We Did you find anyone else?
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.679
I've been uh with the ambassador.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.480
Is he doing well?
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.519
His injuries have been tended to, and um well, he um He really survived, yes?
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.840
He uh he's he's fine.
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.240
Um May I ask, what are the nature of his injuries?
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.879
Because wasn't he with the the governor?
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:11.759
He was.
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:20.399
Uh the some of the creatures appeared in within the governor's study, which is where they were when everything apparently happened.
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:28.399
Um it seems to be as far as I can tell, we're not too sure.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.960
So why don't you um come on out?
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:39.279
There's actually you guys saw just as much as pretty much anybody else did, so um, there's some questions we we have for you.
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:49.440
Most of everybody has been sent home at this point, so it's just, well, all of you having been witnesses to what you saw, and all the other members of the council.
00:09:50.159 --> 00:10:02.000
And he turns and walks out of the room with you guys and brings you into, um, basically goes straight across the hall, and you see that uh he walks you into the parlor.
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.440
Um, there are couches that are here and spread out.
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:10.559
There's a small piano up on a sort of slight raised balcony um over on the left-hand side.
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:19.360
And you can see that there are a variety of figures here kind of sitting amongst the couches and holding various drinks or little bits of food.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.559
Um you see walking, I'm holding my one, I had to take off my one boot that got cut.
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.440
So I'm kind of like clumping as we go through this.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.600
Doing that like up and down as you're begrudgingly holding on to the boot.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:32.240
All right.
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.840
In this space, you see a collection of figures.
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:42.320
First, the one that catches your eyes, the one that is most new to all of you.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.440
You see Ambassador Naylorin Winbross.
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.799
He is um, his arm is covered in a bandage.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:56.240
You see that he has rents in his otherwise very beautiful green robes, uh, like across the chest, across the shoulder.
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:57.919
There are very clear signs of a struggle.
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.039
He is not bleeding.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:04.080
It appears as though the wounds were mended, but the the rents and the clothing are still apparent and there.
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:16.159
Um he does have a bandage around one arm, um, his left, and he is kind of sitting hands folded with a look of practiced patience.
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:25.600
You see um another figure that is sitting in a in an armchair that is size for a human, but very small.
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.320
You see a another figure.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.679
You see a halfling woman, um, probably um in her 80s.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:36.240
Oh.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:43.279
Um she is a um barely three feet tall.
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.759
She has like carefully coiled silvered hair.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:56.240
Um, she has sort of bright blue-green eyes and wears a finely tailored dark green silk with silver thread that looks completely untouched.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:04.559
And she's holding a small goblet of some amber liquid in her hand as she just kind of observes the room.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:18.159
You see, as well, um standing, um, not too far away, kind of uh almost pacing, not in an anxious way, but just staying in motion.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:23.039
You see very tall, very broad, his velvet sort of broccade vest he's got.
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.879
You see puffing on his his bare carved pipe.
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:36.159
You see Vincent Hughes, and you also see a figure that some of you guys recognize um that is a new arrival.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:58.399
He was not here earlier this evening, but you see a sort of uh broad-shouldered, um once formerly muscled body that has now since gone a little portly, um, sort of a slight belly, um, and the sort of uh like a wide nose, wide mouth with a uh that sort of slightly ruddy reddish hue.
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:09.759
Um you see kind of uh deep auburnish uh hair um that does appear to be kind of thinning here at the top, um, probably in his 50s.
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:11.440
You see human?
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:12.799
Human, mm-hmm.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:21.200
Um you see uh Captain Drovis Ingrad, the leader of the coin clubs here within BlackRock.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.159
So that Portly Fellow is not Portly Fellow is Drovis.
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:25.679
Yeah.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:41.919
Um he is wearing his coin club uniform, um but on his left hand on his pinky finger, you see a pretty relatively large signet ring.
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:48.480
Um, and upon it is the tree and cogs of Stillgate of Ondale.
00:13:51.919 --> 00:14:01.440
Um you and I believe that is That's Drovis is wearing that?
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.720
Drovis is wearing that.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:10.559
So there's the ambassador, there's the Half Lane Woman, Vincent, um, Drovis, and then is um Ovralda is also here.
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:18.639
How how big like as we're entering this room, do I have a moment to pull Ramsey aside?
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.639
As you guys are crossing the hallway, you can if you like.
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.679
Yeah, Tacket doesn't make any move to stop uh to stop you or anything like that.
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.080
Do we know this as the full council?
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.600
It is not the full council.
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.240
It is only the members that were in attendance at the party this evening.
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
The there are a few uh there are a few people who are missing.
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.480
Um, the harbor master is missing.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:41.440
Um and there are some other merchant concerns as well that are not currently represented here.
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:52.080
Um you know that of everybody here, the only one that is the only two that are not on the council are Dargo and um the ambassador himself.
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:53.440
Dargo's here too.
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.879
Dargo is here as well.
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.840
Mm-hmm.
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.879
You see, he is uh standing in the corner, very still.
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.240
Um just sort of clocks you guys all as you come in.
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:06.320
Ramsey.
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.039
Do I tell them about seeing these creatures?
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.799
Hold on a sec, let me lean on you.
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.840
And I and I take off my other shoe while he's doing this.
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.360
I'm like unbocking for that.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.240
What are you doing?
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.000
I just gotta even out.
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:21.519
You know, it's not comfortable.
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.000
May as well be barefoot.
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.360
Just make sure I don't slip in my socks.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.879
Don't slip.
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:29.519
Okay.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.000
Should I tell them that I've seen these creatures before?
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.759
I think no.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:40.480
Remember, extract value without giving any of your own.
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.600
Take.
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.200
Don't give.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.279
Not unless we must.
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.559
Okay.
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.360
Don't look like that trustworthy of a bunch, if you ask me.
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.240
No.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.519
Not like us.
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.559
I'm like still dripping with like blood and bile from this cream.
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.879
Oh, yeah, I've got my blood.
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.360
Oh, I totally forgot.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.759
I, in the meantime, I've been precedigitation myself.
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.120
I am spotless.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:11.519
Okay.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.080
Oh, okay.
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:19.360
But did you use it at all?
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.679
My face is clean, but closing your clouds.
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.879
Yeah, that's not gonna come out.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.000
That's so funny.
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.639
Maybe they sell that in town.
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:37.440
Alright.
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:43.279
Um, as you guys walk in, Ramsey and Vale finishing up this quick conversation.
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.559
You kind of bring up the rear as you guys enter into this room.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:57.279
And Tackett, uh, you know, he points to the um to there's any number of armchairs and comfortable places to sit, but you guys disperse yourselves throughout the room however you'd like.
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:14.079
And Tackett uh kind of turns to the room, says, All right, well, everybody in this room knows what no one else outside of this room knows, which is that the governor has fallen, but we won't get to that in a moment.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:21.599
For now, uh I think I, and most of us, are still trying to piece together exactly what it is that happened.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:30.640
So, and he turns to the ambassador and he says, Ambassador Winbrush, I know that you have gone over this several times, but I would very much appreciate it.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:44.240
These are um guests of the governor, and were very um, let us just say, involved and instrumental in ensuring that the death toll was not as high as it could have been this evening.
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:57.440
But my friends and associates here, referring to all of you guys, um engaged these creatures when they arrived and might have seen something that could tell us exactly what it is that's going on.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:06.400
The ambassador g listens acquiesces with a nod.
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.559
Yes, of course.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:18.480
As I said, the governor and I were um while we were ascending to her chambers, there was something that she wanted to show me.
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:26.319
A recent discovery of some kind that had been, as I'm to understand it, found within one of the local mining claims.
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.839
A Vralda kinda.
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.480
Mm-hmm.
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:45.759
Her arms are crossed, she looks uh not exuberant, um, but is kind of like eyeing the the ambassador, and uh her eyes also keep actually at the mention of that, her eyes like her head cocks over to Dargo, who is standing in the corner.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.000
It was found, and well, it's um rather unique, from what I understand.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:57.920
And given my proclivities within West Regional God, she asked that I inspect it, see what it was.
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:09.920
We were within her study, and she brought out the device, and well, was explaining to me the very few properties that she had come to understand about it.
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:17.279
When and he sort of struggles for a moment for words.
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.839
She appears to have activated it in some capacity.
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:29.359
There was some magical property that, uh, well, given that I haven't been able to truly examine it, and he also looks over at Dargo.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.519
I'm unable to say with any certainty what it is that happened.
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:39.200
But a very short time later, the creatures arrived.
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.680
They were well, um.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.640
There's so many dice.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.599
He's lying!
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.880
Oh, I thought he was rolling all of those for attacking us.
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.440
Oh, yeah.
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:06.160
Um I'm not entirely sure of the origin of these creatures, but I can be relatively certain they are aberrative in nature.
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.680
Um but they arrived as if well, the only way I can explain it is some form of teleportation magic.
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.440
They arrived nearly instantaneously and were in the room with us without ever having entered.
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:22.160
Having seen teleportation magic and being very familiar with it from Westreach, I can only assume that's how they arrived.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:29.119
And after that, I was in a fight for my life, uh, alongside the governor, unfortunately.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.680
Well, the governor fell.
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:37.599
There were two of the larger creatures in the room with us, and well.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.640
It was chaos.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.000
You can attend their corpses as you have.
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:45.839
See what has been made of them.
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.480
That is all I know.
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.880
After that point, coin clubs arrived shortly thereafter, as well as Mr.
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:54.799
Dargo's security.
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.680
And you know about as much as I do after that.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.039
And attack it turns to you guys.
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.279
And out on the lawn.
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:19.839
Um, again, I know you've all kind of been over this, but if you wouldn't mind sharing anything that you saw, anything of relevance, anything you might have known about these creatures did they speak?
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.880
Was there any apparent target?
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:32.480
Did they add a sort of jovial nature to them if if uh anything could be attributed to them.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.279
They cackled quite a bit, no.
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:37.920
I don't know in what kind of thing, actually.
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:43.119
But yes, they they um they seemed very blissful about the occasion.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:48.160
They also appear to have teleported in from They weren't there and then they were there.
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.519
Same.
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.559
The mists, though, came with them.
00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:02.480
It wasn't as misty beforehand, and then as soon as they arrived, it's Seemed like they came from this fog.
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.799
I noticed that as well, the ambassador said.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.359
Um that is odd.
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.000
Is there a fog in indoors when they teleport?
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.000
Uh indeed, there was, which is typically not normal.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:30.559
Um effectively, um well, the environment around a subject of teleportation, uh unless they're holding on to something, very rarely transports with creatures.
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.079
What attacks exactly did the governor do to accidentally activate it?
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:36.720
Was it a word?
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.640
Was it was a twist in it a certain way?
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.319
Uh she said nothing.
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.319
There was no command word, as you might expect with certain magical objects.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.440
Um such thing.
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.839
But um sorry.
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.119
Um I don't know if that was intended to be not hers.
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.720
No, cool, cool, cool.
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:55.200
Then not her.
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.160
Well, you can hear it.
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:56.960
Sorry, no, no, no.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:57.920
I didn't hear it either.
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.000
I just don't know what YouTube word is.
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:03.200
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.039
I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to hear it.
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.680
No, you're fine.
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:06.960
Okay, gotcha, gotcha.
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:14.319
Um by all appearances, well, the the patterns on the object in question um shifted.
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:21.119
Um touch or and he finally looks over to Dargo.
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:30.960
He says, if we were permitted to investigate the object, perhaps we could elucidate a little further on exactly what has transpired.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.799
And Dargo Who says that?
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.839
Uh the the ambassador.
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.240
The ambassador to Dargo.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:54.240
Dargo um kind of uh crosses his arms and Well, it is the governor's property, but In lieu of then not being a governor, should not it go back to its original owner.
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:01.680
And Bavralda at that point Yes, I think that's an excellent suggestion, as a matter of fact.
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:09.039
And the um at which point it would be Drovis.
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:18.960
He says, Bavralda, I understand that you are upset, but nevertheless, with the governor fallen, the governor is effectively BlackRock.
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:23.440
The object in question is property of BlackRock, not merely the governor.
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.119
Without the governor present, it would fall to whoever her successor is.
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:31.599
But we have no name successor, which I presume is something we are going to chat about this evening.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:44.160
Right, but it should not be in the arms of the former governor security, especially if it's going to e be investigated for arcane knowledge so that we can ensure this doesn't happen again, correct?
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.720
Are you insinuating something?
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.319
I'm not insinuating anything.
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.920
I'm actually just stating that it should be given to somebody to investigate what it does.
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.160
I'm holding on to it for safekeeping.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.799
We don't know what it does, and we don't know how it was activated.
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.039
Well, you'll never figure out what it does.
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.279
But some of us here might be able to.
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.319
I wouldn't presume to know as much as you do, Miss Philippa.
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.319
You would be surprised at what I could do.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.559
I'm sure you can do plenty.
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:19.200
Um, what if we take a vote, since it is the people of Black Rocks, and then we can all vote on investigating it together.
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.759
At the mansion of the vote, Marion, the who is the small halfing woman.
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:42.319
Epson, the governor, um, as a matter of fact, yes, it would technically fall into the um could be held within the vaults, um, after which point, whenever the following predecessor comes around, then we'll be able to, of course, determine its final resting place.
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:44.160
But Mr.
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.880
Targo.
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.200
And she turns to him.
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.079
The lady does bring up a good point.
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.200
It should be investigated by perhaps the most qualified individual here.
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.119
And she turns to the ambassador.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:00.640
And go ahead.
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:08.799
If I may the ambassador has already had some time with the object.
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:13.359
Uh they're not more um neutral parties.
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:25.680
If there's an archonist by the name of Morbius Telm who was in attendance, maybe he would be an appropriate uh outside resource, so that it's less of a loaded um thing to investigate.
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.519
So it's than somebody who's from BlackRock.
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.559
The ambassador turns to you.
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.000
I'm here at the request of the former governor.
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:39.440
Is there a problem with me?
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.039
No, there's no problem at all.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:48.640
But we can't be sure, the people of Black Rock and this council can't be sure that you won't decide that it needs to be taken back.
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.400
Also Ugar or wherever you hail from.
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:06.480
You were the only other person here in the room with the governor when she died, so I don't know.
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:11.359
Well, it's just not exactly a neutral uh evaluation.
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:12.880
I agree with him for once.
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.079
Intrinsically.
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:24.400
Okay, you guys.
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.960
We're so good at this.
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.880
No, I'm not.
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.559
I am, I am, I am, I am pretty good at it.
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.720
I didn't, actually, that was the problem.
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:36.319
Um, persuasion?
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.480
I'm only a 16 because I rolled an eight.
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.359
Oh, yeah.
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.400
Still pretty good though.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:43.359
Oh, I forgot you cursed my girl over this.
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.759
Oh my god, what are you talking about?
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.720
Persuasion, you say?
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:48.960
Yeah.
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:52.640
She gets advantage because she's pretty digitation.
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.680
Everything looks very pretty.
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.960
17, 16, 10.
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:55.440
16.
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:56.240
10.
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.279
10, okay.
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.240
Man.
00:27:58.559 --> 00:27:59.759
I gotta warm these up.
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:00.400
Sorry, guys.
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:02.079
I'm purging her dice.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.279
I told you.
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.319
I know, but I'm purging it.
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:04.960
We're going through it.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:06.160
16, 10.
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.960
I mean, for what it's worth, I'm being more like aggressive, not necessarily persuasive.
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:11.359
Yeah.
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:12.799
I was like, let's vote.
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.039
Yeah, we should totally work together.
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:15.359
Yeah.
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:17.680
I'm being old shit.
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:20.079
We got it all covered.
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.759
I can see my mind wouldn't work.
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.440
The the ambassador.
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:29.440
To to be fair, I just I would still like the ambassador to look at it.
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.319
I just think we should do it together.
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:36.480
I have no ulterior motives for being here.
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.559
I was here at the request of the governor to investigate this precise object.
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:56.400
Yes, but the governor seemed to be a little bit um not to speak ill of the dead, uh selfish with her desires, and the town might have different um wishes for that object.
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.400
Forgive me, I'm not from here.
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.680
Isn't it a bit odd that the governor had no successor?
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.920
Um, who would answer that?
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.359
Vincent actually at this point pipes up, takes the pipe from his mouth.
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:17.440
Well, it was always uh let's call it a point of concern.
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:24.160
She had no name successor, but with her ancestry and relative good health.
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.359
There didn't seem to be any reason to uh rush.
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:28.400
Exactly.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:35.279
And with Dargo's um otherwise flawless record, and he sort of spreads his hand.
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:43.759
There was never any concern for um well, she had many, many years of rulership ahead of her.
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:50.240
Hard to account for uh extraterrestrial arachnids appearing out of nowhere.
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.279
There are only so many contingencies one can come up with.
00:29:53.440 --> 00:30:01.279
And he took sober, and like very uh uh says like sweetly.
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.720
Right, Dargo?
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.400
And Dargo, you see his like eye twitch.
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.400
Um Indeed.
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:18.720
And the ambassador stands up and sort of begins to cross the room, turns to you all.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.759
If anyone else is capable of investigating magical objects, you're more than welcome to check my work.
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:27.599
And he walks over and he reaches out to Dargo a hand.
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:29.119
We're all here.
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:30.480
I might be able.
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.839
Would it be alright, Philip?
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.359
I don't try to overstep you're the you're the brains of the operation.
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:37.920
Go for it.
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:43.519
I can speak to things through other means um that don't require brains.
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:47.839
Okay.
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.279
I'm gonna just walk with you.
00:30:49.759 --> 00:31:07.839
You you so Ramsey, you join uh the ambassador as he walks up to Dargo, holds out his hand, and Dargo reaches into a belt side pouch and he he produces a small metallic 14-sided object covered in fractal patterns.
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:12.960
And almost funny enough, with the ambassador's earlier words about the pattern shifting.
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.720
As you look at them, they almost, it's like your eyes slide off of the patterns.
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:18.480
It's very difficult to track and trace.
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:23.359
It's like when you look at anything that's tightly compacted and you kind of lose the line of it, but more.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.039
This is similar to something, right?
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:25.839
We've seen this before.
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.559
In the cage.
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.920
It bears a very, very similar resemblance to the markings in the chamber itself.
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.759
DM, have I seen it before with the folks underwater?
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:37.920
You've seen something exactly like this.
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:38.960
Exactly like it.
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:39.359
Cool.
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.960
I mean, the patterns are different.
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.839
Patterns are different.
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:42.720
Oh, in the case.
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:43.359
Patterns were different.
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:46.160
Uh, but you think it's almost so hard to track.
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:50.000
You're you just almost instinctually know that those two things are not the same.
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:50.319
Right.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.680
But they are, well, they're the same, but uh of a kind, not really.
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:57.200
So it's like it's like they're unique keys, but they're both keys.
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:02.720
So when the the shape is the same, the size is the same, the thickness, everything about it is the same.
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:04.079
It's just that the patterns are different.
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:04.880
Okay.
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.319
Holy shit.
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:21.039
And he places it, you see, his heavy uh clawed hand just drops the uh object into the palm of the ambassador who walks in.
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:21.680
How big?
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.680
It's about uh it fits in your palm.
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:24.640
It like fits in the palm.
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.759
I always thought of it like this big.
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:29.039
It's it fits in the palm of the hand, basically.
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.279
Okay.
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.599
So maybe three inches across or so.
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:32.160
Oh okay.
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.759
Um, relatively small, the size of maybe like a very large coin or like a average.
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:36.480
Yeah, anything.
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.680
I mean, it fits in the palm.
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:45.920
And the ambassador holds it out like and walks to the center of the room, like right in the middle of the parlor where everybody is.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:48.640
And he looks over to you.
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.920
Uh thank you.
00:32:53.119 --> 00:33:01.839
Uh, and I sit down, just cross applesauce, and I place it like in my lap, like kind of on my ankles.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.440
And I pull from my belt my harmonica.
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.480
Yeah, you do.
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:11.519
Don't you put a curse on me or anything?
00:33:34.079 --> 00:34:20.480
And as I'm creating these sounds and these emanations are like materializing out from the harmonica toward, you can see these um iridescent shifting from pink to green, very, very translucent, almost imperceptible waveforms materializing and fluctuating and just softly wafting over to the object and almost encasing it as it vibrates and harmonic frequencies are exchanged between these as they warp backward and warble backward into the harmonica and into my mind as I cast identify.
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:21.039
Okay.
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:41.679
And while you're playing, as I've done many times in the past, I place two fingers on your shoulder blade and three points of light quickly move from my fingers into the shoulder blade and up along the back of your neck and just emblaze right there for a moment as I cast guidance.
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:42.880
Nice.
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:43.440
Okay.
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:43.920
Nice.
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:53.039
Um with the new guidance, I believe you have to uh pick or specify a skill with the new version of it.
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:54.639
Oh, that's I think.
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.079
Oh, it works differently, I believe.
00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:59.599
Is this the new or the old?
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:00.719
I would say legacy.
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.199
Um so I think this is the new one.
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:06.079
That new meaning.
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:07.360
Oh, PHB 2024.
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.400
You touch a willing, you touch a willing creature and choose a skill until the spell ends.
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:16.400
The creature adds 1d4 to any ability check using that chosen skill.
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.280
Intelligence.
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:21.360
Or arcana maybe.
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:23.199
Or arcana, yeah.
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:23.599
Arcana.
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.440
Arcana.
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.039
Um not history.
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.039
I'll pick Arcana.
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:30.719
Yeah.
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:31.599
Cool.
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.559
All right.
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:42.880
As the as you do this and this emanation goes, the ambassador does at the like with you at the same time, reaches out a finger and places it on the object alongside you.
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:49.519
And you see, as like his, he whispers uh well speaks aloud an incantation.
00:35:49.760 --> 00:36:01.119
Um, and his hand briefly, you see this sort of green plasmatic kind of energy encase his hand as he casts identify as well.
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:02.719
Make an arcana check.
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:04.639
What's that about?
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:05.519
What's that about?
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.719
I don't like that yet.
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.079
What's that what's that stuff?
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:09.199
Oh we've done it.
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.800
Green, we've done it.
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:11.760
Thank you.
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:12.480
We've done it.
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:13.039
Thank you.
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.679
These are the cursed dice.
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:17.280
He is cleansing them.
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:18.000
I am happy.
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:18.719
I'm helping.
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.599
I'm helping.
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:20.800
He's helping.
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:21.920
I'm gonna define.
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:24.480
Yeah.
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.440
Oh you get all of them?
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:28.559
Plus zero.
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:33.039
So that is a uh that is a 22.
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:33.840
22.
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:35.039
Okay, there we go.
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:35.760
We love to see it.
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:36.079
Okay.
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:36.719
That's great.
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.760
That is enough.
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.880
Um, the ambassador also succeeds.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:41.840
Cool.
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:57.119
Ramsey's the notes begin to reverberate between this object and your harmonica, and you feel as those same carried on those vibrations, the innate magical essence of this thing.
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:04.239
And you feel it fighting your attempt to discern its nature.
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:17.679
But you find a resonance and a feeling not too unfamiliar, like a few days ago in the chamber.
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:29.280
You understand this object shares very similar properties to that of the chamber that you were in several days ago.
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.800
And you are able to identify the lattice key.
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:36.800
Lattice key.
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:41.599
Any attempt to identify this object must first succeed on a DC-15 Arcana check.
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:42.079
Nice.
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:44.239
Good job.
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.119
That was and good roll and good call.
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:48.000
Yeah.
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.920
A failure means that the same creature cannot cast identify on it until 24 hours have elapsed.
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:54.880
Oh shit.
00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:00.480
This flat, 14-sided metallic object fits in the palm and is no thicker than a few stacked coins.
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:06.320
Every face and edge is marked by fractal patterns that seem to fold further inward the longer you look.
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.960
Each of these first children constructs is paired with a magical suspension chamber.
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:18.639
While holding the key, a creature can take the use and object action to insert it into the chamber it is paired with.
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.840
Doing so can seal or unseal the chamber.
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:26.559
No check is required to do so, and the chamber stays in that state until the key is used again.
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.760
Using this property does not require attunement to the key.
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:34.239
The key is simultaneously locked and gate.
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:40.079
While attuned to the key, a creature can use the key's other property beacon.
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:47.840
As a magic action, while holding the key, an attuned creature can activate it, propagating its unique magical signature for one minute.
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:55.760
For that minute, any creature familiar with the signature knows the key's location to within a hundred feet, even if the key is on another plane of existence.
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:05.039
While the signature is active, a creature familiar with this signature and able to cast plane shift can do so without the tuning fork normally required as a material component.
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:10.719
A creature that travels this way appears in a random, unoccupied space within a hundred feet of the key.
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:13.519
Familiar signatures.
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:20.800
Attuning to a lattice key makes a creature familiar with that key's signature, and it stays familiar even after the creature's attunement to the key ends.
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.639
A creature can be familiar with no more than three key signatures at once.
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:28.880
If attuning would grant a fourth, it must forget one signature of its choice.
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:02.000
Surprise?
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:07.679
It denotes something.
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:19.679
It's fine.
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:27.440
And you see that the moment of surprise, satisfaction quickly covered up.
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.039
And we'll find out what that means when we come back from Broadway.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:34.639
Hey nerds.

This is in large part thanks to our generous Patreon members and the sweat equity of our boys.
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:05.760
Going to conventions, having original artwork created for the show, and maybe even some merch we can offer are all ways that your contributions help venture forth.

Push a little harder.
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:34.400

It's it's there.
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:11.920
It's there.
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:13.199
I promise it's there.
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:15.760
Forth Adventure.
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:18.079
Forth the Venture.
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:19.920
Got him.
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:21.599
Oh, hey, what's happening?
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:23.840
Just beat myself in a little tic-ta-toe, don't worry about that.
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.559
But hey, what you should know is that I am the Herald of Halopot.
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:39.519
And I'm here to talk to you about Halopot's Herald, a newsletter in video format that you may watch to learn a little bit about the Venture Fourth.
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:40.559
Get out of here, Lint.
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.199
The Venture Forth team and behind-the-scenes action.
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:56.480
I'm gonna give you updates on what's happening with cons, DM office hours, Patreon, Seth dropping supplements and magic items and all beasties and all kinds of fun stuff for you in the chaos of Rust, because you can just never tell.
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:58.320
And also interviews of the cast.
00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:00.400
I will be interviewing the cast from time to time.
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.960
Brought for you specifically.
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:04.320
Now, let me tell you what you gotta do.
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:05.679
I got a checklist here, so one second.
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:06.880
Okay, what you gotta do?
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.000
You gotta go to Patreon.
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:09.519
You're gonna go to Patreon, you're gonna sign up.
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:10.400
Free member.
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.360
You don't have to click pay.
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:15.119
And then boom, you're gonna get updates for when the Herald drops.
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:19.840
Now, a couple days after that, the words edition is gonna come out because some of you like to read.
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.320
Oh, also from time to time I answer questions from the Discord.
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:26.159
Sometimes people in Discord ask questions, and if I catch it, I'm gonna put it in the newsletter.
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:31.039
So, Shane, Shane, Shane, Shane, Shane.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:31.920
What do I do?
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:33.440
What do I do next?
00:43:33.679 --> 00:43:34.320
Shane.
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:36.159
Hey.
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:37.519
Hey you.
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:40.800
Are you watching on Twitch right now?
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:45.679
If so, do you have an Amazon Prime account?
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:49.440
Are you using your Twitch Prime subscription?
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:51.920
If you have an Amazon Prime, you also have this.
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:53.280
Maybe you just don't know how to use it.
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:55.280
Maybe you're a computer illiterate like me.
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.159
That's fine.
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:57.199
Here's how you do it.
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:02.639
Twitch subscribers get access to exclusive channels and are Little Discord as well as emotes in our chat.
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.920
So if you have a free Prime membership, you may as well use it.
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.400
Yeah, that's great, Rebecca, but what if they're watching on YouTube?
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:09.599
Hi, YouTube nerds.
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:10.800
First off, we love YouTube.
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:13.119
Secondly, have you checked out YouTube membership yet?
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:17.039
YouTube members get access to all episode VODs after stream day, so you're never waiting around.
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:25.440
Plus, you get access to behind the scenes videos, like our campaign 2 session 0, where we follow the party earlier in the day before they arrive at fight night in episode 1.
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:26.639
Pretty freaking cool, right?
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:32.960
And if you're in the stream, you get access to cool venture forth emojis exclusive to you, which is also pretty freaking cool.
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:33.679
Don't you think?
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:38.639
Scan this QR code here, or here, or Shane, where'd you put it?
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:39.760
Not on my face, right?
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.800
Don't put it on my face.
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.599
Or check out the link in the description below if you're interested.
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:45.440
We really appreciate every single one of you.
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:46.800
Enjoy the rest of the short rest.
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:48.000
Bye, nerds.
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:56.800
Ramsay, the information comes to you along with the same uh telltale sensations, those same concepts and strange uh ephemeral sensations, I guess.
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:18.719
Um I I don't know if I can come up with a better word, but they they they come along with the information and you almost feel as well that this thing it's it's almost in flux, like it kind of in many respects defies a lot of the normal properties that you would associate with magical objects that you have encountered in your life.
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:27.119
But as you finish receiving that information, you do look up, you see that briefest flash with that's a very good role.
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:29.039
The briefest flash.
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:38.400
And then it is quickly covered up as he arches an eyebrow and to your eyes, feigns uh confusion for a moment.
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.280
Have you encountered anything like this before, Ambassador?
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:46.079
No, this is entirely unique to me.
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:46.719
Have you?
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:48.159
No, I haven't.
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:53.280
Um the fourteen sides are interesting.
00:51:53.440 --> 00:52:00.000
There is a theory, and I sort of look up to Vale all over my shoulder, of uh 14 primal forces.
00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:05.840
Um that would coincide with such a thing.
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.360
And the ambassador, kind of all eyes in the room turn to you, Mr.
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:12.559
Vale, as like as he mentions that.
00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:16.800
Um and Or do you sorry, is that noticeable?
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:17.519
I should ask that.
00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:19.599
Is it noticeable when you look over to Vale?
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:25.440
Uh or is it a quick it's I mean it's quick, but it's it could be noticeable.
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:26.079
It's up to you.
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:32.079
I mean, I I would it's just sort of like I'm I'm muttering this like within the I'm not like making approximations.
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:33.599
I guess if that if that matters.
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:37.440
I guess the only the only person who might clock that then is the ambassador because he's right next to you.
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:43.280
Um so the ambassador's eyes turn to you and kind of go back and forth in between the two of you.
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.559
And um, I'm unfamiliar.
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:54.559
Am I do I Is he does he seem truthful?
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:58.800
Does he seem like he's telling Ramsey the truth?
00:52:59.039 --> 00:52:59.920
Make an inside check.
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.159
I mean, yeah, you guys all heard him just flat out deny it.
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:05.440
So you have to be kidding.
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:07.920
Uh so now I'm not 20.
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:10.960
It ain't that lower than that.
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:11.760
Yeah, it's a little bit.
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:13.039
Um eight.
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:17.599
Yeah, he's as they're talking, that's like loud enough for everyone to hear that.
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:24.559
So we can so we can like, if we're staring at them and he goes, I've never seen this before.
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:28.000
I mean, yeah, yeah, like I mean anybody can want anybody.
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:28.639
I will say this.
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:30.719
If anybody else wants to roll an inside check, go ahead and do it now.
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:32.719
I'm suspicious of this guy.
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:35.599
I'm not good at this.
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:36.719
Yeah, he's so good.
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:38.079
So good.
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:38.960
That guy, that boy good.
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:40.159
Yeah.
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:42.159
Career politician.
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:43.199
He's just a 10.
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:44.000
That's what he does.
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:45.679
Nothing's back.
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:56.159
I mean, yeah, he he you see the uh the genuine look of of uh uh sort of uh curious confusion, right?
00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:03.679
You said the governor didn't do anything formally to activate this.
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:05.840
Not that I saw.
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:14.079
But it would appear, based on what I've been able to interpret.
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:15.840
She would have had to have.
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:18.719
I was curious.
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.360
She did she did activate it.
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:23.039
She must have.
00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:32.400
She did she was in the middle of explaining to me how she wanted me to see the properties of the object, so perhaps she did it intentionally without.
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:36.320
I don't I suppose it's possible.
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:39.679
Were you all able to figure out what the object was?
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:41.039
Of course.
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:41.599
Sorry.
00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:45.679
Um Well, seeing as I'm not from BlackRock.
00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:47.119
Would you care to explain?
00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:48.559
Um neither am I.
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:50.159
But um I would love to.
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:51.199
Neither am I.
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:53.039
Interesting.
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:55.119
Are any of us really from BlackRock?
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:55.599
Yes.
00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:57.599
Yeah, some people are, I suppose.
00:54:57.840 --> 00:54:58.960
Um born here.
00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:00.000
Were you born here?
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:00.800
Anyways.
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:03.360
And uh the object?
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.000
Well, it's a lattice key.
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:14.320
And I'll as I say that, I'll sort of search to be casual cat just as very general look of like if that means anything to anyone.
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:15.440
Uh uh.
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:16.800
Does anybody light up?
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:18.320
Have I ever heard that term?
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:21.840
Have I ever heard it?
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:23.679
Or read it?
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:26.079
That doesn't exist here.
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:29.920
Lattice keys aren't really can't hurt you.
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:30.719
Wait.
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:32.320
The lattice key no.
00:55:32.400 --> 00:55:32.639
Sorry.
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:33.039
Okay.
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:34.159
Lattice key, no.
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:35.039
You haven't heard that phrase.
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.039
But this object, have I seen it?
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:38.880
Seen things like it.
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:39.599
Mm-hmm.
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:40.800
Mm-hmm.
00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:44.239
Now that you've got a close look at it, you actually see what it is.
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:54.719
You've you've seen um yeah, you've seen similar um viewed in fragments, but similar properties.
00:55:55.599 --> 00:56:00.480
Would I have seen it in physical form, or would I have only ever seen it in drawing?
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:07.119
No, only ever seen similar patterns and not in its entirety uh ever in life.
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:11.039
Like in in real um proximity to you.
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:13.760
Makeup oh gosh.
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:16.159
This was a while ago, but still.
00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:20.800
Do it.
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:23.679
That was a crazy one.
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:26.639
Went out of the box, but do you count it when it goes out of the box?
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:29.840
True, that's true.
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:31.599
That's my rule is like.
00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:37.119
If you're an in-the-box person, it has to land in the box.
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.840
If you if you're a box, it doesn't land personal.
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:40.559
You gotta make a call.
00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:41.679
I take everything.
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.400
I take it as it comes, but it rolled out of the box, I can't remember.
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:46.239
Yeah, history.
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.400
I rolled it in the box and then realized it was bad and then threw it.
00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:51.199
I see.
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:51.920
Phil.
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:52.480
Oh.
00:56:53.519 --> 00:57:10.079
As you think back, you s now that you see it and the combination of it and the cavern walls that you've seen over the last couple of days, and your recent revisit of certain things.
00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:23.199
You remember a few times throughout your tenure seeing things that probably you weren't actually kind of supposed to see.
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:29.360
Glimpses of like walking through a room, seeing a glimpse.
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:39.119
Nothing exactly like this, but similar markings, uh similar construction.
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:43.440
In physical form or in physical form.
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:46.639
Good news.
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:47.199
I'm sorry.
00:57:47.840 --> 00:58:11.119
And he would often speak about the attempts of trying to figure out something that no one had ever seen before that was a mystery to even the most prominent minds in all of the institutions where you spent time.
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:27.039
It was exciting and novel and accelerated certain elements of what happened towards the end.
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.519
Pace of um innovation.
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:52.880
Uh um the good news is that we've probably seen the last of this particular key summoning mistborn freaks into our midst.
00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:54.320
This is a key?
00:58:54.559 --> 00:58:58.480
Yes, it goes to a a box of some kind.
00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:00.000
Ah.
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:03.280
It can seal and unseal such a thing.
00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:10.639
Okay, and those why why do you believe these are the last that we have seen?
00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:23.519
Because um when it activated, it signals all who are familiar with it, and they are free to appear before it.
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:26.960
So It acts as a beacon of sorts.
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:28.960
That's that's one way of putting it.
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:46.559
Um I assume that those that would choose to appear have done so, and that, well, as long as no one else here intends to activate it, seeing as we all know what comes of that, uh, we won't activate it again.
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:52.880
So a concern of mine was that it would latently summon these creatures, sort of, just by being there.
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:54.719
But how do you turn it off?
00:59:55.280 --> 00:59:58.960
Well, it it's only um a momentary feature.
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:14.400
So if someone like presses the on button, or no buttons on the object, but an on state, he doesn't just stay on forever, and then this was just the first wave, there's not gonna be like a second wave that comes?
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:17.119
No, no, not without uh reactivation.
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:21.599
And even then, it's possible that all who might come have.
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:26.559
Because the only way it connects to you is if you've connected to it.
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:29.599
So those creatures that appeared were familiar with it.
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:33.119
They had spent some time with the object to attune to it.
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:38.639
I should also clarify, the the governor did tell me that she had never done this before.
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:52.800
This was precisely why she wanted my well examination to show me the effects of its usage and see if I could clean anything from it, but as she did so, well, you all saw the result.
01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:53.599
It's odd.
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:56.159
The governor didn't strike me as a fool.
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:59.039
What a reckless thing to do.
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:01.440
At a party.
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:04.880
Is this your field of study?
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:07.920
Is that why you were called forward?
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:35.360
Yeah, I am um well, my position within the Star Spiral Collegium is, yes, uh, related to magical artifacts, the study of magic, the study of any number of um oddities, and well with um some of the, shall we say, cultural exchange that has been taking place from the broader world of Arestra and uh viewpoints expanding beyond the horizons of Elbor in the wake of the end of the war.
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:45.920
I've been stationed voluntarily in Allgard, and um as Westreach is attempting to re-establish relations, and I am facilitating that exchange.
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:53.039
Still kind of a far skip to end up in inspecting an object, yes?
01:01:53.280 --> 01:02:00.000
Well, yes, the governor has uh familiar relations with um she has close ties to Westreach, let's put it that way.
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:00.880
I see.
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:08.559
And she thought that West Street would benefit from the understanding of this object?
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:16.639
Um, I can't be certain of her motives, only that she believed it to be outside of her realm of expertise.
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:26.079
The understand there was not much, um well not much that she um told me ahead of time.
01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:28.880
And what do you take from your investigations?
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:37.440
We've heard what Ramsay took, but Well, um, it is a rather curious thing, as our friend has indicated.
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:46.880
It would seem that it allows for the um allows for someone to pinpoint its location, though those who have been familiar with it, but I'm not unless to why.
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:53.119
Or both.
01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:58.960
Oh, do you know anything about this alleged chamber that it's supposed to open?
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:00.000
No.
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:05.679
I um not for anything concrete.
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:06.639
Anyway.
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:08.719
Is is that truthful?
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:09.920
No.
01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:11.679
No.
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:13.360
Go and roll a deception check.
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:17.360
Natural twenty.
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:23.760
Yeah, yeah.
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:28.400
First of all, a lot of uh decent decent chunk.
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:29.840
Uh just just a twenty-five.
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:31.679
Or just a happy happy side.
01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.960
Wait, is okay, just gotta get a twenty-five to mecha.
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:45.519
I don't think it's a twenty-four.
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:48.880
Wow.
01:03:56.159 --> 01:04:12.880
Um is it drunk?
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:22.719
Um the ambassador uh looks at you and nods.
01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:28.079
Right.
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:28.800
Yeah.
01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:30.639
Actually, yeah, that's a good point.
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.119
This guy's an outsider among outsiders.
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:35.599
Yeah.
01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:38.000
Um the enemy of my enemy.
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:41.519
Um this is the friend.
01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:43.119
At which point, hey, there you go.
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:44.000
Hey, let's go.
01:04:44.400 --> 01:05:02.880
Um The ambassador, yeah, he says, Well, um, in absence of any additional um information about it, uh, I suppose the question now is what is to be done with it?
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:07.679
And I believe Marion had a wonderful suggestion of keeping it in the vaults.
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:09.760
Yes, as a matter of fact.
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:14.000
Um Marion, at which point she sort of slides off her little armchair.
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:26.639
Um she comes over, she says, Well, as it is um my purview to hold on to the various um value well, it is a matter of fact, um most of the governor's estate will be passing on to me.
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:29.440
Uh not me, rather, but my the vault.
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:41.760
Um where we can keep everything of value until such a time as a uh appropriate successor is installed, and then everything will be returned.
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:55.679
So Is there um seeing as Beverlda w was the one who uncovered this, um is there not some sort of um appeal she can make?
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:57.119
Yeah, which is fine.
01:05:57.360 --> 01:06:01.519
Beverlda, as as you mentioned that, she Yeah, she uncrosses her arms.
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:02.639
Listen to, I'm sure.
01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:08.639
And she straight up, she says, with the death of the governor, that is my property.
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:16.559
She took it on a ridiculous, and she looks over at all of the all of the assembled council.
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:21.840
A ridiculous overreach of the town charter, and you all know it.
01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:23.760
That belongs to me.
01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:32.159
At which point, Marion, she sort of gently crosses her hands, of roll the deer.
01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:46.719
I am not one to I have no desire to interfere or anything of that nature, but it must be said that while Well, this is the law here within BlackRock.
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.400
And as such it should be taken care of.
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:57.039
I understand that you are reticent to let it out of your sight.
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:01.519
But it will be in safekeeping within the vaults.
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:03.039
Name a safer place.
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:09.679
And overall the kind of like looks like and you see her like that gets her.
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:15.440
Um and Marion says, she says Tell you what.
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:31.199
I can since it's going to be held within the vaults, I can put it with your other belongings, but I think it's safe to say that as a group we agree that this should not necessarily be in the possession of any one individual.
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:32.320
At present.
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:34.079
It's certainly very dangerous.
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:34.960
Agreed.
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.679
We don't want a reoccurrence of what we've seen outside.
01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:41.519
Yes.
01:07:41.679 --> 01:07:43.599
And she spreads her hands and looks at everybody.
01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:48.800
Speaking of reoccurrences, though.
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:52.480
And I'm addressing the ambassador.
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:53.119
Okay.
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:58.000
You're well traveled, no, from Olgar and Westreach.
01:07:58.880 --> 01:07:59.679
Yes, of course.
01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:03.760
I've well in my time traveled throughout.
01:08:04.159 --> 01:08:09.599
But you're saying you've never encountered anything like this before?
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:14.880
We can't be the only place encountering this.
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.439
We're on the fringes.
01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:25.600
This is magic that is clearly more powerful than most people encounter.
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:29.520
You're an ambassador.
01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:32.000
You must have heard something.
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:36.800
Of course, I'm I've heard much, but I'm far from amnesient, child.
01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:38.880
I have heard of much.
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:46.159
Um but also it should be noted that Elbor is incredibly old, with a very storied history.
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:48.960
Perhaps this is some remnant from the past.
01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:54.159
The land upon which we stand used to be connected to the main continent before Eldoria's intervention.
01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:56.239
This could be any number of things.
01:08:56.479 --> 01:09:00.000
So you've never heard of this happening anywhere else?
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:04.720
No word from Westreach that to my knowledge, no.
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:12.880
Will you stay in town longer in case there is word from maybe this was happening all over Elbor at the same time?
01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:26.560
Well, um, I wouldn't be opposed to remaining for another day or two, but my tenure here was supposed to be, well, rather short, and I do have my duties to return to within Orkard.
01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:31.840
And I wanna also just as I'm like pointedly asking.
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:33.039
Are you gonna make an inside check?
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:38.159
I wanna try and make an inside check because Elya I know that there are other chambers.
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:38.640
Okay.
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:39.359
Everywhere.
01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:40.079
You do.
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:50.640
So I'm like no one has mentioned that people from underwater blew up a thing and have relics that they shouldn't be touching with the with these keys.
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:54.000
Elya knows, but Elya can't say anything.
01:09:55.680 --> 01:09:56.880
Ilya can say something.
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:01.359
I've seen it.
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:02.640
You're the fucking lion.
01:10:07.119 --> 01:10:08.239
Trying to find these things.
01:10:08.399 --> 01:10:09.199
I don't know.
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:10.720
What's your role?
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:12.000
Uh 18.
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:14.319
Oh, he's sharp.
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:15.840
He's so strong.
01:10:16.800 --> 01:10:19.359
He's just uh very good at his job.
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:25.279
He's also he's rolling very well, but he is a very practiced.
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:27.600
But he can stay in town for a couple days.
01:10:27.920 --> 01:10:28.640
Yeah, he said.
01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:31.680
He acquiesced to remain in town.
01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:34.239
Ever the helpful ambassador.
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:34.800
Thank you.
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:35.760
Super helpful.
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:40.960
I feel like, you know, we should make sure this doesn't happen again just in case.
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:47.520
I know you both said that there wouldn't be other waves, but there's always a possibility.
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:48.239
Sure.
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:50.479
There's always a possibility.
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:57.920
My concern, Marion, is that we are now without a leader.
01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:02.640
And I know that we will elect one and we will find the right fit.
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:10.880
However, it seems like the council is large enough to be able to address the charter.
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:24.159
And it might be wise to address the charter amongst a group before one all-powerful leader is established.
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:42.319
This is a wonderful suggestion, Dearie, but um as I said, we'll we'll convene the full um council, we'll in uh infer exactly what it is we need to do within the confines of the town charter, and of course, uh we will have to inform the people of Blackrock that their leader has fallen.
01:11:43.039 --> 01:11:46.079
And a suitable replacement will have to be named.
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.119
You make wonderful suggestions.
01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:50.560
All of this will be done.
01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:53.359
And she looks at the rest of the council members.
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:58.720
Well, we shall probably need to call the council tonight.
01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:02.960
Um, at which point Vincent kind of takes the pipe out.
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:05.119
I reckon that's a good idea.
01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:07.760
Bavralda, who is fuming.
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:16.159
But is the concession to keep it with Bavralda's stuff, at least, right, is has placated her for now.
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:35.359
Um also just like general note, those of you who are from BlackRock know that Marion's counting house is the one that manages the vaults, which are the it's with here within Highstone, and it is where anything of public property, as well as all of the elites, it's effectively a very secure bank, yeah.
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:36.800
Where everything is kept.
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:37.279
Yeah.
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:41.520
Um where there's a will, there's a way, especially for an object like this.
01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:42.239
Yeah.
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:46.960
Um so anyway, just yeah, that's just context that you guys all know.
01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:49.119
Um question.
01:12:49.359 --> 01:12:49.840
Yeah, of course.
01:12:50.079 --> 01:12:51.359
How long has the conversation been?
01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:53.359
And is Ramsey still touching the object?
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:54.000
Oh.
01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:58.479
I don't know if I'm saying it hasn't been taken from you, but yeah.
01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:03.520
I think I've like sort of set up, but I've I've I've kind of held it at arm's length from the distance.
01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:14.960
If I could be controlling, just casually, just casually be like or at least familiarizing myself.
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:16.720
Because there is that a different thing with this object?
01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:17.840
I'm not sure if I remember.
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:22.399
But attuning to it is how you know when it's being activated, not too much.
01:13:22.479 --> 01:13:23.039
And can teleport.
01:13:23.439 --> 01:13:25.600
You can activate it and then you familiarize yourself.
01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:29.279
Attuning to it familiarizes you with the signature.
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:29.920
Okay.
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:32.479
Because you have to be attuned to it to respond.
01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:34.640
No, you can unattune from it, but yeah.
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:43.119
I have to attune to become the best analogy is-I mean, yeah, you once you attune to it, it's it's similar to a teleportation circle.
01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:52.079
Once you memorize the sigil, you know, and you can you can but again, it requires it to be activated in order for you to know where it is.
01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:53.760
Like you don't know where it is at all times.
01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:54.159
Right.
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:56.800
But it is effectively a um come to me.
01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.079
It is a signal, it is a signaling mechanism of some kind.
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:02.640
But you need to be attuned to it to do that, to teleport to it.
01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:04.319
No, you don't need to be attuned to it.
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:06.960
You need to have attuned to it at some point.
01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:09.680
Be familiar with its signature.
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:10.079
Yes.
01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.960
Which are well, okay.
01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:14.319
We'll see.
01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:16.640
We'll see where that what the outcome there is.
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:17.199
Okay.
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:23.279
Because if I need to, I will um Do I don't know I don't know how I don't know that you need to attune to it though.
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:24.960
So I can't filibuster that conversation.
01:14:25.199 --> 01:14:25.439
Sure.
01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:28.640
So I mean, I don't know.
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:30.319
You would notice that I'm still holding on to it.
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:38.479
Okay, and do I look like do I see you like wanting to nonchalantly continue to hold on to it without anyone noticing that you're continuing to hold on to it?
01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:40.479
That's pretty hard to do.
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:44.800
Can I tell that you can I tell that you can I tell that you want to continue to hold it?
01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:52.479
I you uh knowing me, you would know something like something's going on with this thing and that you would know at least.
01:14:52.720 --> 01:14:54.479
I haven't shared everything that I got for the book.
01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:54.960
Yes, definitely.
01:14:55.199 --> 01:14:56.000
That would be definitely got that.
01:14:56.239 --> 01:14:56.800
That would be a bunch of things.
01:14:56.880 --> 01:15:00.239
So yeah, I would attempt to keep the conversation going as long as I needed to.
01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:00.880
Okay, cool.
01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:03.199
In this.
01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:04.239
I'm just standing here.
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:06.000
Here's a fresh old area.
01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:09.439
Okay, so so Tag it.
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:12.079
There is more than happened tonight, right?
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:13.439
We've been in that room for hours.
01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:17.279
So what we now know, okay, great, what happened to the governor?
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:18.560
What's what's next?
01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:19.920
What happened after that?
01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:34.560
Well, uh, we were able to apprehend some individuals who, by all appearances, were hired, oh I can't imagine why, um, to retrieve it.
01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.239
Retrieve this object?
01:15:36.479 --> 01:15:36.880
Mm-hmm.
01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:39.039
Hired by whom?
01:15:39.359 --> 01:15:40.720
Man, this is tough.
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:42.319
Does he say this in front of everybody?
01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:43.039
Probably not.
01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:44.000
Or maybe he doesn't.
01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:51.439
Because I mean, like, everybody in here is technically like these are these are the highest authorities here, with the ambassadors there, and like I mean, you can't.
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:53.359
I mean, would he just blame the lizard folk, right?
01:15:53.600 --> 01:15:54.000
Yeah, that's.
01:15:54.640 --> 01:15:56.319
Also, it's an ongoing investigation.
01:15:56.399 --> 01:16:03.359
He There's also the element to consider of like Tacky Back, he doesn't tell the truth.
01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:05.119
He doesn't know there's a lot of courage.
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:18.640
And he's like, I don't know who, and like if he says it, um Yeah, he can't say it here because he doesn't know who to he he does not know who he can trust in this room.
01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:22.479
So you see him as he cuts his eyes at you.
01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:26.720
We're still um trying to ascertain exactly what it is.
01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:32.479
They're a little tight-lipped, but a few days in the coin vault hold, and we're hoping that they'll loosen up.
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:34.479
So something we're still working on.
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:35.039
I see.
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.720
I think they'll be able to.
01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:41.680
Everybody in this room is my boy!
01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:46.319
Dude, I've read I've rolled a 19, an 18, and a 19.
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:46.960
God damn.
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:48.399
All right, let's go tack him.
01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:56.159
So I mean, like it's not that they won't s talk, it's just that they won't shut up about literally nothing that matters.
01:16:56.399 --> 01:16:57.039
I see.
01:16:57.920 --> 01:17:01.039
Well, you can only be expected to do as much as you can.
01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:01.840
I caught his look.
01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:02.079
Yeah.
01:17:02.239 --> 01:17:04.960
So I guess well, you can only be expected to do so much with people like that.
01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:05.840
Of course.
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:17.439
And um, as I said, a few days hopefully of um well, the dark of the holds beneath Highstone should hopefully make them relent and give us what we need.
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:21.039
And he just very briefly makes eye contact with you.
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:33.760
It's interesting that so many should be interested in something like this without knowing uh where it well, I suppose some people might know where it goes, what it goes to.
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:40.239
I suppose the people who came to find it might know what it goes to.
01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:46.960
Um but for all day uh that opens my missing box.
01:17:47.359 --> 01:17:49.600
Your your missing box.
01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:51.760
Mm-hmm.
01:17:53.119 --> 01:17:55.680
Someone stolen a box of yours as well.
01:17:59.039 --> 01:17:59.680
Yes.
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:17.840
Prior to the arrival of the lizard folk at my claim, there was according to my foreman and many of the miners who found the chamber on my claim said there was something there.
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:25.840
Oh, I think we might have heard um tell of a coffin, I think it was called.
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:31.279
We didn't see it, of course, but heard that there was a coffin.
01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:36.640
And well, the lizard folk did what they did.
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:43.439
You all arrived, and somewhere in all of that, it's in the wind.
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:48.479
Do you think the lizard folk?
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:52.479
I don't know.
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:55.600
I'm trying to find out.
01:18:55.920 --> 01:18:59.600
But attack it, and he shakes his head.
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:05.840
Haven't heard anything from any of the other tribes folk or anyone else for that matter.
01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:14.560
But whatever this goes to, it was in my claim, it's not anymore.
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:18.640
And doesn't seem anybody knows where it is.
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:25.520
Marion says, Well, the more reason to keep it safe then?
01:19:28.159 --> 01:19:30.159
And she walks over to you and holds out her hand.
01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:46.800
Is that long before before she before she does, though, before she does, while he's still holding on to it, I'm like, oh, we should probably check if it has that that poison residue where you could only be in that um there was something at the claim where you could only hold it for 20 minutes.
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:51.119
So we there were people who failed.
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:52.880
As I've started doing that.
01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:54.479
Yes, of course, right.
01:19:58.159 --> 01:19:58.800
This is amazing.
01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:01.439
You guys trying so hard to like throw wrong with it.
01:20:01.760 --> 01:20:04.960
There were about five individuals who perished.
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:08.159
Um, who who saw this key.
01:20:08.479 --> 01:20:09.760
So it is it is true.
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:14.159
There, would you like to to ensure, just to ensure that it is to hold.
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:16.560
There was a magical sickness.
01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:20.800
Wow, okay.
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:28.159
Um Marion withdraws her hand as slowly as she looks at the object.
01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:33.439
I mean, it is possible that it is causing some type of poison.
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:35.359
I will say the governor did act strange.
01:20:35.439 --> 01:20:41.600
I mean, uh maybe I'm the only one who believes that, but was she s appearing strange to anyone else?
01:20:42.159 --> 01:20:46.720
Um you did talk with her at the party.
01:20:48.000 --> 01:21:03.760
I wouldn't say I hold conversations with her daily, but there was an odd you see as um the other That's funny.
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:08.000
We just sit for 15 minutes straight.
01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:11.359
Don't move and you just hold it.
01:21:12.880 --> 01:21:13.840
Damn it.
01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:19.359
Um Vincent.
01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:22.560
Actually, he takes a pipe from his mouth.
01:21:25.760 --> 01:21:32.640
Well, she's been a little more um touchy than usual lately.
01:21:33.439 --> 01:21:37.520
And you see, it's like the everybody kind of turns to him.
01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:40.560
I mean, I don't know.
01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:56.960
She just um well the governor's a very was very uh intelligent woman, but um I don't know, my last few interactions with her were um let's just say she was acting maybe a little odd.
01:21:57.359 --> 01:22:02.239
Little uh and he kind of you see as he kind of searches for the word.
01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:05.680
Paranoid, maybe.
01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:08.560
Anyone else?
01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:11.760
And you see as uh just run that clock.
01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:12.399
Yeah, I guess.
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:15.840
It's so funny, it's literally like in my secrets.
01:22:16.079 --> 01:22:22.159
Um it! We asked a good question.
01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:23.359
You asked a very good question.
01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:30.319
You see as uh as Bavralda kind of like looks over, she turns to Dargo.
01:22:30.560 --> 01:22:34.159
She says, Dargo, any comment on the subject?
01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:36.800
And she hates this man for that.
01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:37.920
She hates him so much.
01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:50.319
Um Yes, the governor has been a little um little more precautious than typical over the last several weeks.
01:22:50.560 --> 01:23:01.680
She's been short with the staff, and most of the upper floors have been off limits to everyone except myself and a few of the more trusted lieutenants.
01:23:01.840 --> 01:23:04.000
She seemed worried about something.
01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:10.640
But I'm her chief of security, not her confidant.
01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:12.319
So I don't know.
01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:16.960
And that's like it's prying teeth to get it out of him.
01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:21.600
He does not like sharing this information, but given the circumstances.
01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:29.520
She just wanted you to look at this.
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:32.880
What was the nature of her inquiry?
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:34.720
Yes, she.
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:41.279
It was um happened to coincide with uh rather fortuitous.
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:43.920
I was um.
01:23:45.359 --> 01:24:37.840
The first sprouting celebration, of course, was a reasonable excuse to have me arrive, but um we hadn't spoken in some time, and she well, came upon this object, um, from what I understand, approximately two weeks ago, and sent me a mess of an all guard, asked if I wouldn't be opposed to taking a visit, speaking on other things of interest, including Well Including Black Rock is um a growing place, and the governor was interested in understanding the current climate in Westreach, the appetite for um additional trade, and also was inquisitive at to as to what has been gleaned about all of the new horizons we find around us.
01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:41.119
It's a new wide world, after all.
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:47.439
And there have been exchanges, some clashes.
01:24:49.279 --> 01:25:03.119
As I said, it's um an interesting time, and she wanted to speak out any number of topics, I'd imagine, but unfortunately we never got the opportunity.
01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:11.119
I well, I only really arrived late yesterday evening, so.
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:13.279
Have you been staying here?
01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:14.960
Yes, the estate room.
01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:18.479
But the governor was preoccupied with the preparations for this evening.
01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:34.159
Well, I think it's worth saying that um despite just little artifacts, um likelihood of being quite valuable, uh depending on what um is to be done with it.
01:25:34.880 --> 01:25:42.159
Even if its propensity is only for that of summoning all manner of uh wicked beasts.
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:51.520
The matter of safety uh exceeds whatever financial value can be extracted from this.
01:25:51.840 --> 01:26:01.680
And whatever rule of your interests are in the various excursions and explorations done in Black Rock, uh.
01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:08.159
This thing is not worth risking all the lives of people here.
01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:10.239
To those creatures.
01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:13.840
Or to the poison that it could be emanating.
01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:14.640
Emanating.
01:26:14.800 --> 01:26:21.840
But it does take Vale about half of an hour to run his investigations to ensure that it's not poisonous.
01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:34.319
Uh, if you could give him the moment of time to cool crystal bonus, man, yeah.
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:40.159
I'm gonna say uh man and that is that's gonna be a poison or disease.
01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:42.880
Go to make a deception check for me.
01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:44.079
Because I've been rolling.
01:26:44.880 --> 01:26:51.039
I'm gonna say this is like you have a very high DC because the ambassador's acutely aware of what magic is.
01:26:52.479 --> 01:26:53.279
So it's a big question.
01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:54.479
It's a stretch.
01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:56.720
So he uh does he realize what Ramsey can do.
01:26:56.960 --> 01:26:58.640
Does he realize what he's trying to do?
01:26:59.279 --> 01:26:59.680
Hey!
01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:02.159
Shh! I mean real kind of.
01:27:05.520 --> 01:27:06.159
You don't know?
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:08.159
It's one key or one chamber.
01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:08.479
Nope.
01:27:08.720 --> 01:27:09.520
I'm just some guy.
01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:11.359
I'm just some guy.
01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:12.159
I'm just some guy.
01:27:12.479 --> 01:27:14.000
He's the master's just fine.
01:27:14.479 --> 01:27:16.079
And he turns to you.
01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:24.880
Um it should be a relatively simple matter, should it not?
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:27.119
Well, he is from the Gith gear.
01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:30.640
Quite a bit of tradition involved.
01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:33.600
It's it's not all necessarily part of the function.
01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:36.479
You want me to check it?
01:27:37.279 --> 01:27:37.760
Please.
01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:46.239
I should hazard it should be as expedient as possible, considering that if it is poison, well, everyone in this room is at risk, so you should do your best to make it fast.
01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:48.880
Okay.
01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:50.960
What is Vale gonna do?
01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:52.479
So exciting.
01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:55.920
Poor Robert.
01:27:56.159 --> 01:27:59.760
There's so many like weird things going on in the storm.
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:03.359
I was so like gradually getting more anxious now.
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:05.600
I just seenly aware.
01:28:05.840 --> 01:28:06.239
Yeah.
01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:07.680
Alright, Vale, what do you do?
01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:10.159
Ramsey, how do you feel?
01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:11.760
You feel okay?
01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:17.359
Well, it's been quite the evening, Vale, so I appreciate you ask.
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:19.039
Oh, do you mean sorry?
01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:26.880
Um Do you feel sick or infected?
01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:32.239
Uh no.
01:28:33.920 --> 01:28:35.840
I don't know if I would see it.
01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:37.039
Though.
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:42.560
I could wait until you grow an extra pinnacle if you touch it.
01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:43.199
Uh-huh.
01:28:44.319 --> 01:29:02.399
And I uh uh my finger alights and it uh transfers to the object to the lattice key and it gets bright for a second, and that's that's it.
01:29:02.560 --> 01:29:03.760
That's all it does.
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:13.119
Um effectively, what I have done is cast lesser restoration because I don't have the ability to do what they want me to do right now.
01:29:14.319 --> 01:29:16.800
And I'm trying something to look like it.
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:24.319
Um and I and as I set a light, I step back.
01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:27.359
Put that down.
01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:32.079
It's I think it's imperative that I hang on to it, Vale.
01:29:34.079 --> 01:29:36.159
My god dropping it to my genome.
01:29:36.479 --> 01:29:37.119
Put that down.
01:29:37.359 --> 01:29:37.920
Right.
01:29:39.680 --> 01:29:40.560
Keep it.
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:50.640
It's not the same as the one we saw with the I didn't see one.
01:29:51.039 --> 01:30:05.920
I saw Tarquitt moves across the room and he walks, he like he closes the distance and he gets really close to you, and he like kind of looks around the room and um he's like, um, will somebody mind getting me a drink?
01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:17.680
And thank God he like everybody and uh uh and he looks over at um Vincent and he's like, Vincent, would you and Vincent's like Alright?
01:30:18.159 --> 01:30:19.039
Anybody else?
01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:26.720
And Vincent kind of like turns and then Tackett kind of What the fuck are you guys doing?
01:30:28.159 --> 01:30:29.199
What's the play?
01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:30.560
I am so confused.
01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:33.840
I think less speaking is better for you at this moment.
01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:35.199
I'm trying not to talk about it.
01:30:35.359 --> 01:30:36.640
Just what you don't make me talk.
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:38.800
You look you're a green You made me talk.
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:41.760
You put the You're a You're a stringy green monster.
01:30:41.840 --> 01:30:42.880
Just wave your arms around.
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:44.880
What are you trying to do?
01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:47.439
I can't help you if I don't know what you're doing.
01:30:48.239 --> 01:30:52.239
I'm trying to familiarize myself with the object in the case that it is activated again.
01:30:52.399 --> 01:30:53.279
Alright.
01:30:54.159 --> 01:31:02.239
And he turns and he uh looks to the room and he says, Well, as um our two companions here finish.
01:31:02.479 --> 01:31:19.199
Um Perhaps we should move on to a subject of um importance, which is um, and he kind of turns to you guys, he says, Um, don't you hold it there, move your hand up around there.
01:31:19.840 --> 01:31:21.119
Don't move.
01:31:22.720 --> 01:31:27.119
And um he sort of take your time.
01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:28.880
We're um the council.
01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.000
Council members, if you could um join us.
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:49.439
And he walks over towards like the area where Vincent is getting drinks, and you see some of the council members stand up, and you hear as he says out loud, Captain, would you mind sending one of your a few of your men into town, see if you can locate the other members of the council, tell them that we need to convene at the governor's residence immediately.
01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:56.800
It's uh we're calling it an emergency council session, and the captain nods and he walks out, and then kind of movement starts to happen in that respect.
01:31:56.960 --> 01:32:04.640
You see some coin clubs go out, tack it turns to the other council members as they kind of gather close together and leave you guys alone for the moment.
01:32:05.119 --> 01:32:08.479
Just keep waving your hands as if you're doing something, but don't say anything.
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:11.920
And maybe next time tell me to put it in a spot that's more comfortable to hold.
01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:14.239
Just keep waving your hands like you're doing something.
01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:16.159
I'm using my body to block.
01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:16.479
Okay.
01:32:17.119 --> 01:32:20.640
I'm staring at the council, but I'm using my body to stand in front of them.
01:32:21.039 --> 01:32:21.600
Say anything.
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:22.560
You're doing wonderful.
01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:23.920
Just keep doing that.
01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:30.960
And as you guys do whatever you're doing, should we make a sound?
01:32:31.199 --> 01:32:31.520
No.
01:32:31.840 --> 01:32:32.399
Alright.
01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:34.319
You take a few minutes.
01:32:34.399 --> 01:32:36.560
Uh just roll a performance check just for kicker.
01:32:37.600 --> 01:32:38.720
Oh, this is just for me.
01:32:39.039 --> 01:32:40.000
Does Ramsey get to roll?
01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:41.279
Yeah, sure, sure.
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:43.760
Performance check between the two of you.
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:44.800
Performance.
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:45.920
Okay.
01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:47.039
Okay.
01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:47.920
Okay.
01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:48.399
Okay.
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:49.520
17.
01:32:49.680 --> 01:32:50.000
Okay.
01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:50.319
Okay.
01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:53.439
No, you're not downloading something right now.
01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:53.760
Kid.
01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:56.159
Um.
01:32:56.720 --> 01:32:58.239
Bail's so good at this.
01:32:58.960 --> 01:32:59.760
Today it might be okay.
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:01.600
Come on, Bale.
01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:05.840
This is the best line he's ever done in this whole campaign.
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:06.399
Oh, wow.
01:33:07.119 --> 01:33:07.760
It's a 14.
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:08.399
13.
01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:09.039
13.
01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:11.039
Okay.
01:33:11.600 --> 01:33:12.560
This is the best line he's ever done.
01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:14.479
Excellent.
01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:17.359
You two do that.
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:18.560
Great.
01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:26.319
Whatever you attempt to stall for time as you performatively examine this object.
01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:33.359
You see the council members have one moved away in an amount of in uh uh what's the word I'm looking for?
01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:38.800
Um, an abundance of caution at the risk that perhaps it is in fact poisoned um or emitting whatever.
01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:42.079
We already agree that the governor has been acting weird.
01:33:42.399 --> 01:33:43.760
The governor's been acting weird.
01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:49.439
So they're kind of like sitting around holding, you know, drinks as they are discussing what to do.
01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:57.840
You hear elements of um the you hear them talking about um what the town charter says.
01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:00.880
There's a lot of discussion about like, well, we'll have to review the documents.
01:34:01.039 --> 01:34:02.720
We haven't really looked at it in a long time.
01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:06.640
We'll have to see if there's any clauses in there for specifically how this goes.
01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:08.880
And then it kind of moves on to the announcement.
01:34:08.960 --> 01:34:09.760
How do we announce?
01:34:09.920 --> 01:34:12.159
And you hear that conversation kind of go.
01:34:12.399 --> 01:34:16.159
And um And we're like on the out, we're not seeing it.
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:18.000
The parlor's also pretty big.
01:34:18.079 --> 01:34:22.079
Like you guys, the parlor's like probably a this is like a council, they're like having their council.
01:34:22.399 --> 01:34:26.720
They're like an over they're all like standing in their little cabal, like having a quiet discussion.
01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:31.760
And honestly, like away from you guys, like privately, because you guys are not council members.
01:34:32.479 --> 01:34:36.479
Um and so, and that's not really uh your guys' lane, so to speak.
01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:40.960
So they kind of start moving on to other subjects as you guys are starting to do that.
01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:49.039
You hear them basically confirm that the the they will meet and convene tonight.
01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:55.359
Um, and you also hear that they make a determination that the announcement will be made in the morning.
01:34:55.439 --> 01:34:55.680
Yeah.
01:34:55.840 --> 01:35:05.039
There is ultimately like saying it tonight, with especially with the first sprouting celebration, the whole town is inebriated probably right now.
01:35:05.199 --> 01:35:06.319
It's not a good time.
01:35:06.479 --> 01:35:09.520
It would only bring down and potentially cause issues.
01:35:09.680 --> 01:35:14.159
There's also some um other considerations that they have.
01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:17.359
It's probably you know, like basically like how do we break the news to everybody?
01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:18.640
Tonight's probably a bad night.
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:19.920
We'll do it first thing in the morning.
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:25.279
And a lot of those logistics are talked about over the course of the next few minutes.
01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:28.159
You complete your attunement.
01:35:28.399 --> 01:35:28.960
Yes!
01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:31.359
Something I want to make.
01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:32.640
Am I okay?
01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:33.439
Is there a gas?
01:35:35.039 --> 01:35:36.079
There's another side of the head.
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:39.520
Yeah, probably.
01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:40.319
Yeah.
01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:42.720
Technically, you can unattune from me.
01:35:44.720 --> 01:36:03.680
Nothing happens, but as you do complete that connection, there is a um immediate sense that this is different than anything you've ever done this with before.
01:36:04.479 --> 01:36:16.800
And you also know through a combination of your identify and now your attunement, this object really can't be classified into any one school of magic.
01:36:19.920 --> 01:36:25.680
It it's it vacillates and shifts between all of them at once.
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:49.439
And much like a song that you know by road, you can pull out at any time, there is a familiarity that enters into your mind, and you know through magic that if this were to be activated, you would know where it was.
01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:58.239
Alright, uh, you can't poisonous now.
01:37:00.640 --> 01:37:05.520
Um It's it's okay.
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:06.800
It's clear.
01:37:07.760 --> 01:37:09.119
No poison.
01:37:09.439 --> 01:37:11.520
Could I have been watching the ambassador?
01:37:11.920 --> 01:37:13.359
He's been watching you guys the whole time.
01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:14.319
Yeah, of course he has.
01:37:14.560 --> 01:37:14.960
Of course.
01:37:15.199 --> 01:37:17.680
So he knows exactly what he didn't say.
01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:21.920
He's just sitting on he went over and he sat down on the couch and he's been looking at you guys.
01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:23.760
And he hasn't said anything.
01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:25.199
That's great.
01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:25.920
Interesting.
01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:30.319
He's just like, these bumbling idiots.
01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:34.560
How did they raise any objections?
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:34.880
Yeah.
01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:41.520
He doesn't hear uh point out anything about the ruse.
01:37:42.479 --> 01:37:42.880
He knows.
01:37:44.560 --> 01:37:51.119
And as your attunement ends, or uh over the course of those next about ten minutes.
01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:51.760
Okay.
01:37:53.439 --> 01:37:56.880
The council, you hear kind of the conversation wrap up.
01:37:58.720 --> 01:38:08.479
As Marion steps forward, well, um it's um it's safe to Wonderful.
01:38:08.800 --> 01:38:11.359
Yes, do you see that it is safe to go?
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:16.399
The entire town of Blackrock trusts me with their most valuable possessions.
01:38:16.479 --> 01:38:22.960
I'll be sure that it goes into and she turns and looks up of Ralda's things, and it will be there.
01:38:23.279 --> 01:38:24.239
Safe.
01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:35.199
Until such a time as well, we can determine exactly what it is and what import it has for our little town.
01:38:35.600 --> 01:38:36.159
Wonderful.
01:38:36.319 --> 01:38:44.800
Well that is all we know, so if if that is all we will let you get back to your council meeting.
01:38:47.039 --> 01:38:48.079
Thank you all very much.
01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:49.840
You've all been very helpful.
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:56.000
And um well, I hope you enjoy whatever is left of the celebration.
01:38:57.439 --> 01:39:00.159
First sprouting, none of us will forget, I'm sure.
01:39:00.399 --> 01:39:00.720
Hmm.
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:02.640
Not any time soon, dear.
01:39:03.039 --> 01:39:10.399
We'll take our leave, thank you, and best of luck as you do what you must.
01:39:10.800 --> 01:39:17.920
Well, um, of course I feel this goes without saying, but it's probably best that you keep the news of the events tonight to yourselves.
01:39:18.079 --> 01:39:24.000
We'll see how fast it takes things to get out of Black Rock tonight, but um, well, suffice it to say that Mr.
01:39:24.079 --> 01:39:26.800
Tackett here, and she look, and he is towering over her.
01:39:26.960 --> 01:39:28.000
He says, between Mr.
01:39:28.159 --> 01:39:36.640
Tackett and, um, well, the uh pressures of um our wondrous council, hopefully, there'll be no loose lips tonight.
01:39:37.039 --> 01:39:53.520
Well, I heard an inspiring rumor that the veil uh secreted the uh governor away in safety, and uh who knows uh in the coming days if she'll die to her injuries, but for the time being, she's somewhere safe.
01:39:53.920 --> 01:39:54.560
Of course.
01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:56.960
And she kind of looks up at you as appreciatively.
01:39:58.399 --> 01:39:59.439
So that was.
01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:02.159
And you she kind of cuts herself off?
01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:04.079
Hmm.
01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:08.239
I have um a few tricks in my arsenal.
01:40:08.560 --> 01:40:12.960
Well, the council appreciates whatever um aid you can provide.
01:40:13.520 --> 01:40:18.399
We have no issues to involve ourselves any further in this issue.
01:40:19.359 --> 01:40:26.720
Well, there's still a lot to do, so feel free to go, unless I'm mistaken, Master Tackett.
01:40:26.800 --> 01:40:30.079
And Tackett, thank you all for your help.
01:40:30.319 --> 01:40:32.560
You know where to find us, Tackett, if you need anything else.
01:40:32.800 --> 01:40:33.920
Of course, I know where to find you.
01:40:34.079 --> 01:40:36.000
Yes, we've got that other thing to talk about.
01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:41.680
Why don't we escort our guests?
01:40:43.119 --> 01:40:43.680
Yeah.
01:40:43.920 --> 01:40:44.960
Uh, our guests?
01:40:45.119 --> 01:40:45.840
You are my guests.
01:40:46.079 --> 01:40:46.720
Oh, yes.
01:40:46.800 --> 01:40:48.800
Um, whenever you get my shoes.
01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:49.359
No.
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:50.640
Um why not?
01:40:50.720 --> 01:40:51.359
I'm your guest.
01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:52.720
You were his valet.
01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:54.079
You should take your own shoes.
01:40:54.319 --> 01:40:56.079
Yes, but they're so gross now.
01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:57.760
I don't want to touch that.
01:40:58.239 --> 01:40:59.520
Just walk away.
01:41:01.279 --> 01:41:06.319
Touching that as you guys exit the manor of the guy of the treatment.
01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:11.600
As we as we if we as we walk out, I'm gonna like elbow Shaw.
01:41:13.199 --> 01:41:15.119
Do you understand what happened in there?
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:16.479
Not in the slightest.
01:41:16.720 --> 01:41:17.039
Okay.
01:41:18.720 --> 01:41:19.359
Me either.
01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:20.800
Some shindig.
01:41:21.920 --> 01:41:29.199
Shall we continue to ours and maybe we can find out what Ilya got up to?
01:41:29.439 --> 01:41:30.079
Yeah.
01:41:30.800 --> 01:41:32.079
Obviously, there's more to say.
01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:33.760
Yes.
01:41:34.399 --> 01:41:35.359
Come along.
01:41:36.800 --> 01:41:41.920
And you leave the governor's mansion, bound back out of Howstone.
01:41:42.079 --> 01:41:43.600
We'll see what you get up to next time.
01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:46.720
So much for watching.
01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:49.279
Hope you enjoyed watching as much as we did play.
01:41:49.920 --> 01:41:51.039
We'll see you next time.
01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:51.680
Bye.
01:41:55.680 --> 01:41:57.439
What's adventurers?
01:41:57.520 --> 01:42:01.119
It's your friendly neighborhood editor, Shane, just finishing off this episode.
01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:03.199
Thank you again for being here for us.
01:42:03.359 --> 01:42:04.640
Welcome back to the show.
01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:10.720
I know it was a tough, it was a difficult two weeks, but you made it through, and now we're back with a vengeance.
01:42:10.960 --> 01:42:14.399
So catch us next week for another new episode.
01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:20.560
We also have some really exciting Hero Forge giveaways coming up, so keep an eye out for those.
01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:22.319
Those are gonna be during the stream.
01:42:22.479 --> 01:42:24.000
So you're gonna have to tune in.
01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:27.600
I think it's only gonna be on Twitch, so keep your eyes peeled for those.
01:42:27.760 --> 01:42:30.720
Sorry, YouTube folks, it's just giveaways are hard to organize.
01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:32.800
So that's that's where we're at right now with all that.
01:42:32.960 --> 01:42:38.479
Um, but we also have some very exciting stuff coming up in the very near future, and I really can't wait to share it.
01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:40.720
Once people uh give us permission to share it.
01:42:40.800 --> 01:42:44.000
I'm really, I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really can't wait.
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:44.960
It's very exciting.

Why do they make it so difficult?
01:43:03.199 --> 01:43:10.000
Everything, there's just so many ways you can do things, and that's that's those my many of them are free.
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:15.840

01:43:19.840 --> 01:43:21.520
Gen Kind really wore me out.
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:22.399
I got a cold.
01:43:22.479 --> 01:43:24.319

01:43:25.600 --> 01:43:28.079

Take care, adventurers.
