campaign.
Episode 19 Last Straw.
You can catch us live every Sunday at 8pm EST on Twitch.tv slash Songwoven Show or watch
the video version of this podcast on YouTube.
Thanks for listening.
I absolutely agree, Emma.
Even with this supposed holy artifact, there is no guarantee that the Bullywugs will cooperate
with them.
Nevertheless, we will be reporting on this developing situation as soon as updates become
available.
No!
Oh, excuse me.
I'm getting a message.
Speaking of which, I have just received word that there has been developments in this story.
Fortunately, our undercover Kroker correspondent Tim Don Tran is on the ground now in Cool
Anura.
Tim, what updates can you give us on this situation?
Please refer to your teleprompter.
My teleprompter?
What?
My teleprompter?
Kroke?
Where's my teleprompter?
Kroke?
Krokey-de-Kroke?
What the fuck?
What is it?
Can you see it?
No, where is it?
I'll look on my screen share.
Oh, there's a screen share here!
Oh gosh!
This is messing up the chat!
Okay, alright, what's second?
Oh gosh, it's covering my face now!
This is so bad!
Okay, Jenny, you're over there now.
I thought it would work with you if you hid non-video participants, but I guess not.
Okay.
Tim, is everything alright?
Hey man, how's it going?
It's Kroker who speaks very good, cop.
Thanks, Emma.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Yes, the last fifteen minutes in Cool Anura have been some of the most hectic I've seen
here on Lundy's Marsh, and I've seen some shit.
I mean, did you see how many of those spears they had through that druid?
Messed up.
Like, sure, I put one of those through her myself, but I had to.
I can't just break my cover.
I mean, it was fun, but they never tell you that about undercover reporting, just how
wrapped up you get in all of it, and your character and stuff like that.
Something like that changes a man.
Yeah, right.
But the adventurers finally made it.
The awe-inspiring power of the Stone of Tongues was enough to knock me out of my top-notch
acting and remind me of what I was there for.
The Queen of the Bullywugs, however, was not impressed.
She went so far as to state that the sacrifice of the adventurers to her goddess, Shar, that
was news to me.
Jeremy von Fusler managed to evade the notice of the Queen during this distraction and free
the hostages.
While the fur-bog man noticed Sean Claude attacked the Queen, he made his way across
the swamp to her faster than a cat, lapping, chain-lightening.
Meanwhile the human girl, Cecilia, faced off with the Queen's pet, Bullet, as the nerds
say it, as the Queen seemed to lose her leash on the creature.
Nobody but me seemed to notice this though, and honestly, I can't blame them, because
that druid I speared left wild-shaped and boy, is she hot.
I was part of chat that day.
It's rare that I, a frog, can say that in earnest about an orc, but she is just that
good-looking.
Maybe it's just because I know she can turn into a frog.
Anyways, once everyone managed to pry their eyes away from that storm cloud of a woman,
the Queen and her underlings were quickly defeated.
I even heard that there may be sparks flying between that ballad and the druid, and not
just because of the lightning cloud she summoned.
Now that peace has been restored for the Bullywugs and their captives.
Everyone can rest easy.
Except me, of course.
Ribbington.
Because my niche as a croaker reporter is very small, and I'm afraid I am now out of
work.
It also has been recently brought to my attention that crimes committed while undercover are
not exempt from the law and fact, and so as soon as this broadcast cuts away, I will be
going into hiding.
Jenny, Emma, back to you, and please take your time.
Reliable as ever, Tim.
Thank you for your service in these past few weeks.
I'd cut to JT with the weather, but it seems cool Inura has a 100% probability of storms
for the foreseeable future.
That concludes our reporting on the Bullywug Queen.
Until next time, I'm Jenny Sherrard.
And I'm Emma Remosco reporting for Song Woven Station.
And we will see you next time on the La Nia Expedition.
I felt so stupid writing that last night.
All I'm saying is I thought it was great.
Thank you.
While there's a strike going on?
While there's a strike?
Do you hear the people sing?
Hey guys, hey, sang after I got some scabs over here.
It's actually WGA.
WGA, thank you very much.
I don't know.
Okay, the stream's over, I guess.
We actors in here now?
We got rioters doing their thing?
But hey, we did a bit, we took over Timmy's bit and did the recap at the same time.
He's going to come back next week with a vengeance or the week after as well next week.
I know.
He's going to have it ready.
That is an announcement we have actually is that we will be off next week and then we
will be back in October.
For Halloween!
For October 1st.
Yeah.
But yeah.
He just doesn't feel Timmy.
Maybe we should take over his bit every week, Albert says.
That's what it feels like.
The entire time I was sitting there, I was like, ah, this is what it feels like.
Oh, I see.
There's one of our streams where you have your bit at the beginning.
I was like, sorry, I always sound so shocked because I listen to myself at the beginning
of the episodes when I edit the podcast and every time I just sound so bewildered and
confused every single time at the beginning.
I think it's the shell shock of like, oh, I'm taking part of this.
Like, what?
I'm supposed to do something now?
That's what I got when I was like, the teleprompter where?
The teleprompter is truly, truly my favorite part.
Oh, my wife also recommended one shot, Halloween one shot.
That would be a lot of fun.
Oh, yeah.
I've always wanted to be a killer.
I mean, that's not the I've always wanted.
Yeah, let's do a Halloween one shot.
That's that's fun.
I was going to say it also could play in with our story, though.
I mean, we've got the we've got the father of scarecrow spooky.
It's been pretty horror so lately in game, except for I guess the bully book thing wasn't
that horror.
But right before that was.
Oh, yeah.
I got some spooky, scary, spooky, scary shit coming.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Songwulven, the Naya Expedition.
I am Tim Dantran and these are people.
I love them.
We love you, too.
All right.
OK, I guess we already did the recap for mom.
So I'm fucking songwulven on mom.
I'm mom.
Or I will be playing today on mom moment.
Guys before the stream started, he kept saying he goes, I'm trying to tell myself I'm not
going to say mom woven in the intro, but I just feel like I'm going to do it.
And internally, I was saying it's OK.
He won't get that chance because I'm going to cut him off.
And then he went and did it anyways.
Are we all playing moms on mom woven?
Let's do the mommy.
The mommy.
Yes, please.
Mom, Claude.
Mom Claude.
Yeah.
Gosh, my mind's my mind's an absolute torrent right now.
I'm just trying to remember.
I said, OK, no, no, no.
Next week, October.
Yes, yes.
OK, we said that.
Sorry.
It's just I'm just so flummoxed.
You know, in in the you know, with the theme of last session being, you know, taking reclaiming
your power from, you know, from a higher up individual.
And I'm making this shit up.
Tim's going to kill us.
We're going to die.
Anyways, I think that's the fastest we ever got through an intro, I think, technically.
And a recap.
We did a recap.
It's easier when it's scripted.
Yeah, it is.
Anyways.
Yeah, your on scene reporter was struggling.
I'm just trying to get by, man.
He's like, you know, I've seen some shit these past few days.
That there's a bullywug named Tim there who's fleeing.
On screen reporter.
This is Canon now, right?
Oh my god.
Run.
All righty tighty.
Now that we've gone through that, that fiasco, that bit, that show of chutzpah.
Let's just jump into another session of Mambo.
Fuck song woven.
Mambo?
Mambo number five?
Mambo number five.
Mambo.
Song woven.
I feel a TPK coming on.
That's the name of this episode, actually.
TPK!
By the way, did everyone see the notification, the stream notification for this stream?
The going live notification.
It's pretty dang good.
I was just going to post it in Discord afterwards.
I see.
I'm very, very nervous.
Poetry.
So if you're, if you're, if you're, if you're listening on the podcast, join the Discord
so you can see the genius that Jenny is.
Jenny concocted this.
It was 3am.
It is really, it is really.
The witching hour is when magic happens.
Okay.
Spooky times for all.
All right.
All right now.
Shut the fuck.
Sorry.
You okay?
That really threw you, didn't it?
It's like, you know how like after you survive a car crash and you crawl out of the wreckage,
like you crawl over your, you know, your uncle and stuff and you get out, you're kind of
like a little shaky.
That's me.
That's me right now.
I'm just, I need a blanket on my shoulders.
Oh no.
I played the jazz music.
I'm, I'm, I'm not great.
Oh no.
It's okay.
I warned him not to do a bit because I genuinely didn't want him to get disappointed if like
he made prepped a bit bit and didn't get to do it.
So I kind of warned him, but his face.
We're going to die.
Today was supposed to be an RP, you know, lighter session.
We're going to die.
We're going to be subscribing.
Jean Claude.
The real Macal.
Thank you.
Real Macal.
Thanks, Nick.
Jean Claude.
Do you remember that number nine?
Add a like, add like, add like a big number to it.
I have a feeling once I hit 20, do you think I'm going to go insane once I hit 20?
What do you think Jenny?
Yeah.
I'll take a point though.
The rest of the way insane.
The rest of the way.
He's already lost his mind to begin with.
All right.
Jenny broke the DM.
Now we're going to go into this session of song woven.
I was thinking about it so hard that it made me say it.
I know it's okay.
Mom woven is our Halloween one shot where we're all playing moms.
Let's do it.
I need to be a mom.
Speaking of being a mom.
Not when I'm not a mom.
Speaking of being a mom.
As the jubilation.
I'm just going to jump right into it.
Cecilia, as you are being carried by a wave of Bullywugs, you and you eventually put down
on your feet next to your trophy, next to the large bullet that lays laid out and felled
in front of you.
You look around to see to look around for the people that to take stock at the moment.
And you are of course gifted with the sight of Jean Claude carrying the the Druid from
earlier.
As Jean Claude carries carries her bridal style over.
You see that Willa looks towards looks towards Jeremy first.
Just goes Jeremy goes Hello again.
Well it's very good to see you.
Didn't think you would be the one coming in my rescue.
But I'm not complaining that much.
And you she looks toward her head towards towards you.
She sees your markings.
The makings of a saloon cleric.
And she just goes and a small smirk form tugs at the end of her lip.
And she just goes.
All right, Team Moon.
I always knew I always knew I was on the right team.
Oh, you're a follower of saloon too?
Well not exactly.
But I don't mind her that much.
Big fan of Moonbell.
She's being carried by Jean Claude and she's remembering that Jeremy said something to
her very briefly about them flirting over there last time.
And so she's kind of just like she seems like almost a little bit bewildered.
But is trying to be like chill.
She's like damn Jean Claude can't get this gal.
Jenny what are you?
Give me one second here.
Oh, you're back.
Her camera was having a little bit.
Oh my gosh.
I just switched to the stream and it showed that I was wondering what everyone was reacting.
So you remember it was fine on my end.
So it's very much like now we're playing the horror session.
That's what's going to happen.
It's going to be Jenny's camera.
I'm the play though.
Jenny's taking over.
It does that sometimes, but normally I can see it doing that.
It was clean on my end this time.
That was really weird.
Let me know if it happens again.
I can switch to my webcam.
You're getting haunted early, baby.
Oh boy.
She just kind of seems a little surprised at the development and is probably like over
analyzing based on what Jeremy said to her.
She goes, don't read too much into it.
My name's Cecilia.
Nice to meet you, Cecilia.
Willa, Willa Brandington.
And you met Jean Claude.
Well that's one word.
His name is Jean Claude.
I didn't know that.
He just nods.
He just gives a good solid nod.
Sorry, what was that?
He just clears his throat lightly and goes, that is me.
He's got an accent.
He does.
The chat, Willa Brandington Claude.
Well sorry for causing all the trouble, but thank you both of you, YouTube Jeremy.
Thank you all for coming to save me.
All these other people too.
You do look over to see the Halfling family that was also in the cage that everyone in
the chat forgot about because they were too focused on one person.
The innocents.
The innocent people that were also a focus huddled together.
Pair of parents and their son, daughter.
Huddled together.
Willa just looks over to them and just kind of gives you a pat on the back, Jean Claude,
and just goes, all right, yeah, that's your moment.
Go ahead and put me down now.
Gently will put her down and just kind of like step back and just cross his arms.
He's trying to look cool, but Cecilia would recognize this as like a very like nervous,
like he's very shy all of a sudden.
So it looks like he's, you know, posturing, but internally he's a little freak.
He's a little nervous.
No check needed.
She just looks at you.
She just kind of chuckles to herself a little bit of a smirk.
Oh, damn it.
She walks.
She walks away towards the Haffling family.
By this point, Jean Claude, you are also being surrounded by Bullywogs and they attempt to
lift you up.
No, no, no, no, no, it's OK.
You have the soda tongues and the ones beneath you go, no, we can do it.
Oh, and he has a southern accent when he's speaking in Bullywog.
Don't worry about it, my partner.
Just just let me on down easy.
Let me on down easy.
My pleasure.
I want to lift you like a huckleberry.
I don't even know what that is, but I can assure you I did not be lifted like a huckleberry.
Welcome first time.
Hello, darlings.
You made it finally.
Mom Woven.
Welcome Mom Woven.
The people on the podcast and YouTube are going to be so confused.
You cannot bend that account, JT.
You cannot bend that account.
Absolutely not.
It is very welcome here.
We welcome Mom Woven.
We can just play a bunch of hot moms.
I'm all down for it.
OK.
Who else creates the tapestry that these songs were woven into but the moms of the world?
But the moms of the world.
Thank you, moms.
Shout out to Mom Woven.
Next Mother's Day.
We'll have to do a Mother's Day one shot.
A Mother's Day one shot.
Don't play in the chat anyways.
Let's go.
OK, where was I?
Oh, yeah, they do eventually.
If you don't resist, they do successfully like, yay, like push you up.
They had to double up beneath to try and try and get you up.
He's a giant man in heavy plate armor.
So yeah.
And at one point after that, he'll let them lift him as much as they can.
And then I think he's going to pull out the idol, the little idol, and say, I think this
belongs to y'all and extend it forward.
You see that as they're looking around, because first of all, the idol comes out, they're
in awe, but as you offer it to them, there is this incredulous moment of them, like the
ones directly in front of you, they immediately back away as they peer around at one or the
other to see who's like this is obviously a very big moment of like of like bravery
to them of who's going to step up and accept this idol.
And then you see the heads begin to kind of like part as someone small is moving through
the crowd as the Bullywog's heads are turning.
You see eventually as the front of the crowd parts.
Jeremy Jr.
I was going to say, is it Jeremy Jr.?
Not Kyle or Squibbles.
No, they know they suck.
As he kind of walks up with his big, like, eerie eyes, he looks up towards you, Jean-Claude,
points at himself, and he very gingerly raises his hands up.
I think, oh, sorry, I was gonna say, like, even though Jean-Claude is not a very religious
person, I think he's very respectful of others beliefs.
So he definitely has like gotten down on one knee and like lifted up the idol and like
bowed his head slightly to Jeremy Jr.
There's just so much you can tell that there is just this is a ceremony to them.
This simple gesture has turned into ceremony.
As you bow your head to him, he gently scoops it and he takes a moment as he lifts it up
into his hand.
And then he turns to everyone else and just holds up the idol and the crowd cheers.
They began to they begin to try and lift them up.
I would say as you let go of it, the cheers from going, yeah, it's like for Romanos,
Jeremy Jr., yeah.
The voices begin to, yeah, as the voices begin to die, as the language and clarity begins
to die away.
There's nothing wrong with the natural world.
And they begin as they lift them up, you see Jeremy Jr.
just goes, he's clutching the thing close and trying to keep it safe.
You see a figure walks in between the both of you, Jeremy von Fussler, as he has his
hands behind his back looking with pride towards Jeremy Jr.
I'm actually going to cry because I'm embodying Jeremy right now.
There's actually so much cry.
And today on Mom Woven, we're proud of all of you.
I miss that boy.
I think you just chose like a chosen one, Jean Claude.
I didn't choose anyone.
He chose himself.
He raised his hand.
I'm not responsible for anything of this.
That's fair.
We all start from somewhere.
Cecilia you were a humble farmer girl.
That's what you were right.
You never told him anything.
A farmer girl?
We didn't have a farm farmer.
We have farm animals.
So I guess kind of.
And you Jean Claude, you were a hot spring owner.
You were a bard.
You had a-
Whoa, no.
Were you a performer?
Kind of.
No, no.
His eyes flashed.
Oh, oh no.
I'm very interested in that.
No, he didn't actually.
No, no I didn't.
I'm mistaken.
Casey Claude if you tell me.
Nope, nope, nope.
That's not enough.
I'm just a groven girl.
Here to enact justice and support the woodlands and dolly creatures that live in it.
I was once a shower curtain and asbestos merchant.
Now I'm a humble law keeper trying to bring the peace.
And Jeremy Jr. there.
Everything culminated to him for this very moment.
The two of you have made this very special.
Thank you both for the risks you've taken during this venture.
Just keep that old wizard's tower thing locked up and watch out for if you looked at Cecilia
and make sure you came the name right, shall.
Yeah, unusual shadows and dark magic and stuff.
I'm going to be completely honest, after meeting you and after this venture, I now have 30
more things to worry about.
But as you can see, I have the tools to handle the things in front of me.
He holds up a stick of dynamite.
Puts it back.
Okay, okay.
And eventually, you see Willa coming around on the dock, arms around the two children,
kind of like gently like has a reassuring hand on their backs.
As Jeremy goes, All right.
So I suppose there's nothing left to do but to go back to our to go back to our respective
camps.
Cecilia, Jean Claude, you have a question to turn in.
We should probably go get Yim from Anura.
And collect your points.
Yeah, I wonder how many points that was.
Do you want to bring evidence?
He points at the I assume there's like a carcass left or something.
I share the points I hope to let me say I have to talk this down.
She looks at Willa and the halflings and goes, I should have asked this earlier.
Does anyone Are you guys hurt?
I can heal if you need anything.
The halfling woman goes, Oh, we're fine.
Thank you so much.
I think we're in the state of what we are because of the actions of this.
And Willa goes, These two brave souls right here.
I was actually going to say you.
Yeah.
Well, teamwork points to Jeremy.
And dynamite.
This man is insane.
I didn't know you could fight like that, Jeremy.
Oh, yes.
I thought you died when you fell on the ground after he hit you.
I was really worried.
It's called my wounded animal gambit.
I used it multiple times.
It's a it's a it's a real it really works during normal everyday conversation as well.
When you were selling something something in shower curtains.
There's a dark past.
Yes, but yes, that is where I cultivated my wounded animal gambit.
Listen, I get it says is a nightmare.
People just buy things out of guilt or Oh, no, it's more like, oh, oh, oh, did I overcharge
you?
Sorry, allow me to.
Like that.
Oh, and then they go get the guards.
Then I leave.
Oh, who is this fucking NPC?
Was it?
No, no, he said from the Empire.
He did this in the Empire.
He did this in the Salarian Empire.
Absolutely.
Absolutely not.
Be sweet.
Will will it goes every time you open your mouth, there is just something to learn about
you.
Yes.
Well, now let's concern ourselves with the safety of you and the safety of everyone else.
Everyone shall we?
And go.
And as he directs everyone to start making their way, start making their way to to anora,
you see that you see that the bully was tear down the sign that says cool, Nora.
They just completely have a revolution.
And and as you were walking on the path, Jeremy does kind of like pull you to your pull Jean
Claude to the side if you will have him.
Oh, yeah.
He's I mean, he's a little nervous with the constant dynamite references, but he will
humor the old man.
Jean Claude, don't worry.
It's me, Jeremy von Fossler.
Yes.
It makes you feel better.
Anna's not my real name.
It does not make me feel any better.
But what can I help you with?
I just wanted to speak with you briefly about what you've done back there.
Giving the stone, rendering the stone onto them.
I reckon a stone like that would be a very nice, a very nice part of an adventurer's
kit.
And yet you'd under you gave it to the bully box.
It is not mine to take.
And so it's nice to have someone or something to believe in.
So, you know, it's not it is no big deal to me.
And I hope they will continue to govern themselves in a kind of light.
He smiles at this.
He goes.
I'm going to assume that you don't need to hear this.
But the both of you are going to go great lengths.
Normally an adventurer would instill themselves and onto anywhere and gather themselves any
bit of treasure, any wondrous relic.
But if you keep allowing that good to guide you, then I am sure that whatever you wish
to happen in the future, I will.
Mason Jeremy, I appreciate it.
But if you thought that was good, just wait.
And he subtly jerks his chin over to Cecilia.
Just you wait until you see what that kid can do.
If that is a preview of the things to come, then I will be keeping a close eye on the
local papers.
We could use some positive press, positive press, please, please.
The last two, the last two counties.
Not good, not good.
Not good.
Not good vibes.
If it's any consolation, the the Bullywogs are trying to start a printing press.
They must learn to write first.
But I will ensure that I will ensure that they will that the first official print will
be something very positive.
That is more than we could ever ask for.
All right.
So he goes, do you want this?
It was a piece of dynamite as a something to remember me by.
He knew he knew it was coming and he goes, I simply cannot let you pout from.
So it looks.
I'm just.
I'm just joking.
You're joking.
I'm just I'm just I'm just being your knee.
I'm just he's got to see what he's screaming about and then just realize it's normal Jean
Claude screaming and goes back to what he was doing.
He's got one arm against the tree, you know, leaning heavily on it, breathing, very having
us.
OK, Jeremy, that was so much fun.
Thanks so much.
Good bag.
And he's going to start trying to move away from him.
I actually do have something.
OK, I'll just give it to Cecilia.
I guess.
That's best.
Thank you so much.
I can detect so much.
What?
I wasn't finished with what I was saying to Jean Claude, so I suppose I'll say to you,
Cecilia.
Jean Claude, you were very brave back there.
The way you handled that queen.
Fascinating.
I did also notice, Cecilia, that you froze up when you when you spotted Willa.
Oh.
You're nuts, Jean Claude.
This doesn't work.
Yeah.
I have an eye for these things, you know.
You can go talk to him again.
I'll just I'm going to go talk.
Jean Claude, I wanted to give you something.
Something to remember me by.
It's still Cecilia.
This was something that I wanted to give you ever since the first moments I met you.
Oh.
Do you remember when we first met?
Yesterday.
It was almost as if there was a immediate spark of friendship.
Anyways, here is a compass.
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome, Cecilia Claude.
Oh no, we're not related and that's not his last name, but thank you.
Cecilia Claude.
He's not like a he's not like a babysitter that got.
He's one to clear things up.
No, I'm I'm an adult.
I'm 18.
We just met on the road and.
Yeah, he came with me for reasons and yeah, not a babysitter.
Reasons?
We're just friends.
Huh?
Reasons?
Oh, you know, because he also wanted to go on the road.
Road?
The Linaya one.
One?
I can't stand this man.
I'm kidding.
I'm absolutely kidding.
Well, good luck on your journeys.
Thank you.
And of course, that's a typical to you too, Cecilia.
Thanks.
Jesus Christ.
And he walks.
See it goes up to Sean Claude.
Good.
We done.
He wanted to tell you something, but I honestly forgot most of it because I was just kind
of surprised that he was talking to me like I was you.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
He gave you this compass.
Oh, is it that and he flinches because he thinks it's going to be dynamite.
And then he then he you know, you know, collects himself and he goes, this is lovely and just
holds up the compass and goes, nice.
It is a silver, a silver faded compass.
So it has some age to it, it has some sort of like scratches on it and whatnot, weathered
by travel.
And you do see you do see etched onto it.
It's very small, but there's a date.
1411 PR, which is the full metal alchemist.
And on the back, it's 1411 the year that's that's a year 1411 is the year.
And on the back, it says, made this be the start to a great journey.
And it says Isadora Adventurer's Guild.
Isadora.
So he used to be an adventurer.
Yeah.
And also a sour curtain.
Which is why he's insane.
What was that?
How long ago was 1411?
I was afraid you asked that.
Give me one second.
That was actually my greatest fear.
Has been realized in this session.
OK, I should notice at the top of my head, Linnea Expedition is 1461.
This is 50 years ago.
Isadora.
As the two of you approach as the two of you approach the camp alongside your gaggle of
gaggle of people, the bully the bully wugs and Nora, there's a crowd awaiting you.
And you see the bully wugs of Nora.
They're defensive at first, but as the spears are dropped, you see that the ones who are
stuck over and cool Nora start running over and embracing the ones in a Nura.
You see the big hopeful eyes of Yim as he scans the crowd.
And then the two of them see each other at the same time.
Willa and Yim.
The two of them immediately begin to pull as Yim silently cries himself into Willa's
embrace.
Willa just kind of like hugs him deeply and on his head.
He goes, sorry, I'm missing you, Tiger.
You were very brave when I was gone, weren't you?
I wasn't brave at all.
I was scared.
Oh, Yim, that's the only time you can be brave.
I don't think Jean-Claude can watch this.
Oh no!
Oh shit!
Oh, that was accidentally cutting.
Oh no!
It's the same thing Stella told Cecilia too.
Yeah, I don't think he can watch this.
Oh no, Sylvie.
You're going to have this moment one day.
You're going to have it.
I didn't mean to hurt you like that.
I just do that sometimes on accident.
I'm an ass.
No, it's perfect.
It's perfect story wise.
As the makings of what seems to be a celebration starts to amass and Jeremy gives you all,
gives you all goodbye, choosing to stay amongst his family.
You are all, you all guide the wayward people back onto the road.
Seeing the abandoned wagon on there, you now learn that it belongs to the Hafling family.
As they gather the things from the wagon for a moment and you all make your way towards
Looney's Acre.
Night has taken hold over the surrounding air by now, but as the humidity sort of dies
away replaced by a sort of calming, gentle coolness, the two of you just have this moment
as you're walking as well as tending to the family and yin.
The two of you have this moment to sort of like quietly relish in the quiet part of your
victory as you are all making the trek to turning your quest and deliver the good news.
If there's anything that you want to say to each other at all.
In that case, yeah, I think they're kind of overwhelmed to be honest.
Yeah, it's been a lot like they've completed this mission, which is great.
But I think in this moment and Jenny, you can correct me in them walking like with just
the two of them, I think it like resyncs in what they're up against, you know, with the
grandfather of Scarecrow's.
You know what I mean?
Like they kind of like sets in once more.
You know how quickly this is spiraled into something that although that was in their
control and like, yay, they're in a guild and they're doing the adventure thing.
They have so much many more responsibilities and trials ahead.
I will say one thing, though, like as they start getting closer to town, she just goes,
maybe this will be the first time we go through that we don't get banned from.
He looks over and goes, well, to be honest, Jeremy said that they would put a good will
in for us in the Bullywag paper.
So I think you're right to say that.
Good press.
I'll give you some, you know.
Yeah, just kind of awkward, but sadly in the face.
Oh, go ahead.
I was going to say, not everyone needs to like us, Cecilia.
Only only those that really need to know.
Yeah, you're right.
What we're doing is more important, I think.
But hey, feels good to leave us some points, huh?
Well, that should be worth a lot, right?
You should cash in on that.
But I have to share with Willa.
No, you don't.
Oh, she heard that.
She jumps a bit.
It'd be fine, but I just know you were part of the guild, so.
Sorry, I just always hear things that always include my name.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, I always like the sound of that.
Jean-Claude opens his mouth, shuts it very quickly.
He goes, you know, I haven't heard you say my name.
Looking at Jean-Claude.
Clears his throat.
Well, Miss Willa.
Pleasure.
And then you see like you see like a bit of pain in his face.
He's like, oh, God, I've already fucked up.
What did I do this time?
She looks at your face, seeing that, and she's been pretty perceptive of everything so far.
And you see she was about to she's about to go like, no, no.
And then she leaves you like that.
She leaves you in your pain.
You know, you know, she tries to distract away for Jean-Claude's sake a bit.
She goes, too late.
Yim actually helped me identify a bunch of potions we found in the dungeon where we found
the Stone of Tongues from.
Did you know?
He did a really good job and he really wanted to help.
He told me you taught him so.
Look at you looking right at Yim and Yim is beaming.
And there were a lot of them.
I had a really good teacher.
Come on, you and praise me a little bit more.
I had a really great teacher.
That's an improvement.
It's probably going to be a celebration when we get back.
But the first thing the first thing I'm going to do when I step into town is that, well,
I'm going to bring these.
I'm going to bring this family to a guard station, get the situation figured out and
I'm going to go see my kids.
If you I mean, you've been gone a while too.
If you want us to get them escorted, we can.
You should see your family.
Well, aren't you nice?
All right.
I'll definitely take you up on an offer then.
Yeah, I'm still sleeping at the guild.
Oh, yeah.
I'm still making my way around.
I'm really making that room my own, even though technically not mine.
Why don't you come with me?
We're cooking up a little surprise for you.
It's into a bear.
I'm open to bear.
And the two of you begin to approach town.
Willa just kind of gives you all gives you all wave.
It just goes, the two of you plan to stick around town for a night?
Or the night at least.
We do need to be on the road again.
Right.
I need to give I need to do something to properly express my thanks.
So just I try to find you first thing in the morning.
Okay.
You don't have to do anything.
But yeah, we're good.
It's just what you do.
No, I think I'm going to do what I want.
Okay.
He backs down so fast.
Have a good night.
Tell Elise that I'm okay.
Oh, no.
He realizes he has to go back and talk to Elise.
Okay.
All right.
One night looks at Cecilia.
It's a proper reaction.
Oh, she scare you?
No.
You scared of strong women?
John clock?
No.
I respect.
Great respect.
Good gulps lovely.
We'll see how far we can take that respect.
Okay.
And then he's gonna say, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna get him killed.
You go towards the car station first.
He turns back around.
See, well, it goes, Hey, guard stations that way.
Smart guy.
She points the wrong way.
Thank you.
I knew that.
And he goes the wrong way.
I thought I saw it over there.
Now takes out the compass.
What is this?
North.
Just goes north.
And as you look towards what the compass is pointing at this point towards the ventures.
The latexium off and the two of you handle the handle the handle the family.
Taking to the guard station you see as you're walking towards the station.
You see them.
You see as they're holding their children close to the man and the woman, the mother
and the father, they hydrate.
We haven't even actually added in a hydrate yet.
I've been snacking this entire time, but I will hydrate.
Oh, um, that was too much water.
Don't drown.
They're speaking amongst each other and as you're making way to the station, you see
the father kind of fumbles in his bag for a moment.
And as you reach the lit front with the welcoming orange crowns of the torches on the front
of the guard station, the guards are already there, seemingly lounging about memories for
you Jean-Claude and how late nights would be spent playing cards.
Not us getting captured by not being arrested and stuff.
That's not what's going through my mind.
In a sleepy time.
We got arrested.
The thing happens.
You just see the halfling man approaches the both of you and goes, now I am going I am
much like Miss Brandington back there and I'm not going to take no for an answer.
So please one of you hold out your hand.
That is Cecilia.
Um, okay.
She does.
He just he pulls something off from the bag and it's something that has weight to it because
you can see his hands is like he's kind of struggling a little bit and he just puts it
in your hand and your hand falters a little bit as he puts a straight up gold bar in your
hand.
What are you?
It's are you sure?
It doesn't exactly take the entire form of what exactly how exactly our thinks wants
to look like.
But I hope it's good enough.
Are you sure aren't you going to need a new wagon and horses and stuff?
We'll be fine.
We'll absolutely be fine.
Your says I can already look I already see your eyes and I see that you're a humble you're
a humble bunch especially you just goes and I'm telling you don't worry about it.
Thank you.
And I hope I hope that funds your future endeavors whatever they may be.
Thank you.
Sorry the chat.
Cecilia just killed John Claude and take it for yourself.
It's like it's like a butter stick you could just cut it in half.
Share it.
What in the clue?
Hold on to our funds for us and stuff.
He is not the money man.
I have the bag of holding.
She can leave at any time.
What was Cecilia with the gold brick at Kula Nora the murderer who kills people with money
because money is rich.
Ultimate evil capitalism itself and the halfling family goes and gets himself situated.
I guess we'll go back to the adventurers guild then get your points.
I'm going to have a lot of drinks that would be good to go in the morning.
They are free.
Are you sure that make you good to go in the morning?
Yes it will.
I think this is when you start to see like how tired he is.
And it's not like a lazy tired.
It's like a weariness.
And Tim you can flavor this how you want.
But I was kind of trying to hint at he doesn't know it but like the nine right the counter
that I have going for him.
Yes it can be felt.
It's something that definitely Jean-Claude did not have before.
So have a little party we celebrate and then we move.
Yeah.
Okay she maybe was about to say something when she just starts walking.
And Cecilia don't worry about the stuff Augustus said.
I was worried about it but I think I'm more worried about dad now.
Your sister will take care of it.
She nods.
And we will take care of this.
As our DM leaves and never returns.
And with that song woven ends.
Are you all right Timmy?
My noise canceling app free trial ended during that conversation so I had to turn off my
air conditioner.
It feels like it got windier Jean-Claude.
The breeze is different outside of the swamp.
It's very cold out here.
I've got mind blasting.
I apologize but I'm dying on the fifth floor of my apartment.
I'm more worried about it for me because my mic is constantly going.
Sadly in the face of seemingly mounting overwhelming odds, a large victory like this can only knoll
the weight for just a little bit.
Much like anything that weighs on your shoulders, it will remind you that it's there.
And that it is absolutely relentless.
So maybe the only other thing that can help during this time.
With victory, a chaser of drink and sleep will probably do you some wonders.
As the two of you enter into the adventurers guild, it is completely silent.
That's the vibe we're heading into the adventures.
I drink so much water.
Sorry, it's just hydrating.
It's perfect.
That is Jean-Claude right now.
There is complete silence.
As you see everyone sitting up straight.
As you see Elise at the forefront holding up a piece of paper.
It's definitely scrunched because she's gripping it very hard.
She just goes, you all can't keep finding every single reason, every small reason to
celebrate and drink the day away.
If you all keep this up, then drinks are no longer going to be free at this chapter of
the adventurers guild.
Do you understand me?
Not every small victory is a reason to celebrate and go marry.
All of you have things to do.
And then as she looks towards you, you see all the heads.
It's like the students are being scolded in school.
Your head slowly turns towards you.
And then you see Elise just goes, new fledglings.
Have you completed your?
We free that's a no captives from the bully work.
So will and she killed a bullet.
And then you see one of the adventures goes as well as just because Willis saved.
Bully work situation handled.
And you see the tankers are raised and he and he killed the bully of a queen shot.
Glad drinks for everyone.
Hi, Pico lover.
And as you as your deeds spark, the spark jubilation throughout these people, you see
Elise just and you never seen someone you never like a Terry.
A paper has to be torn by like two hands doing a tearing motion.
She's holding one hand and you look down to see that her grip becomes shredded.
While he walks by her to the bars, everyone's cheering.
He's going to be a little cocky and give a lease a wing as he goes to grab a beer.
Cecilia is kind of like.
And she goes, what are you rolling for?
John Claude dies and he's dead.
What did you roll?
He's dying.
He's going to die.
He's going to burn right now.
Yes, you give a cocky wink.
And as soon as you turn your head bartender goes, well, you have what you have.
And then and then you are absolutely clocked brought to the ground as a boot, as a boot
slings into the side of your head.
He goes, when you're flying across the floor.
Cecilia, you see you look up to see Elise.
Just like just like at the at the arc end of of like a baseball like toss.
I was just about to go to her and say, oh, will it wanted us to say, oh, give me my boot
commanding John Claude.
Pick up my boot now.
I think he's so he actually like very almost unconscious with that hit.
So he's like trying to get the boot, but he's struggling to get to his feet because his
head is ringing.
Useless.
She just she just storms over, picks up her own boot and looks towards you, Cecilia.
You were saying.
Well, I'm looking at John Claude in back.
This is the second time she's kicked his ass.
Well, I wanted us to make sure you knew she was she was all right.
As you sit down, John Claude onto the stool, Elise does does like very subtly kicks the
stool.
She crosses.
She just crosses her arms because Willis, all right.
Good.
Thank you for that.
I suppose you want to talk to Dean.
Oh, is he available or should I wait till tomorrow?
Yes, he should be.
He should be in his office by now.
Okay.
I don't really know how all of this really works.
Still, to be honest, it's the first time we've completed a quest at the Adventures Guild.
So do I just like you thought you say the belay you said looks to John Claude and goes
and just nods and goes, well, you've gone past a fledgling rank, but now you're at bronze.
But in these but in the in the bottom five ranks, we don't allow one task to accumulate
points over to the other to discourage beginning adventurers from taking large risks.
How do you rank up then?
Well you're going to rank up, but at this rank we cannot we cannot allow large jumps
in rank.
That is simply code.
So I guess the other stuff from we went into this dungeon and there was this like a Morian
and John Claude has like a cold ice like ice cold tanker to the side of his head where
the shoe hit him and a bump is forming.
And as she starts talking about that, he's like kind of giving her a look like I don't
know if we should be talking about this, you know, in front of everyone.
She's like, oh, are you okay?
Does your head hurt?
She doesn't quite get it.
It doesn't get it.
You know, I get what you're saying.
However, the belay was not something that was part of the deal.
You know what I mean?
This was an additional add on.
To allow something for her, an exception, perhaps.
Make a persuasion check.
I fear my life.
For me, John Claude.
I fear my life.
For my points.
For my four points.
For the points.
It's a good thing I just was able to, because of my lapel up, I was able to take one and
persuade.
Oh wait, no.
Am I allowed to keep it?
I'm allowed to keep it, right?
I'm allowed to keep it.
Okay.
Twelve.
Jesus.
That's right.
Jesus, that's right.
Sweet baby Jesus in the grown one too.
What am I going to do with you?
She goes, I am more than certain that if you bring your plea to me, you will be able to
do it, she goes, I am more than certain that if you bring your plea to the maven of this
chapter, that perhaps he would be persuaded to grant you such leniency.
But we have a code for a reason.
John Claude indicates Cecilia to go upstairs to talk to Dean.
Um, okay.
Um, thank you, Elise.
I'll go talk to him.
You're on your way.
Um, leaving, leaving Elise and John Claude with each other.
John Claude with the very cold tankers to his head goes, I see.
And that that's me now.
You I will rend you of your flesh.
Sit up straight.
He perks up a little bit.
He goes, you know, I did hear puts his tanker down and, you know, starts tracing his fingers
around the rim of it because he's had a couple of drinks now.
No, I have heard that, uh, you know, back on the playgrounds when little girls would,
you know, beat the little boys, it was because they liked them.
They get that saving.
She lets her hair down and you see her, her long hair, which is tied in a ponytail, kind
of like flows to her side as she just kind of like, kind of like flips it out for a moment.
She looks towards the bartender.
Give me your cheapest one.
And the bartender, you see just eyes widen.
I just go and just like, um, it just fills her up a tankard as he just chugs it.
As she does, she, she slams it down.
Let's add a burp wipes her mouth and goes, if there is anything that I enjoy doing, it
does clearing up misconception misconceptions.
As an all out brawl starts as Cecilia, as you know, when you knock on Dean's door, um,
Oh yeah, you hear him go, as he rolls across the fucking bar.
That's not surprising actually.
And you hear the voice from inside go, yeah, go ahead.
Come in.
She opens the door and goes, um, hello.
He took classes again.
Freaking.
Yeah.
Um, I forgot what my song is.
So you're gonna give me a second to get my theme going.
Just default to the jazz.
If you can't find it, use a jazz man.
It's going to be this one.
Um, I hope I'm not bothering you at least that I should just come up.
Uh, no, absolutely not.
Go ahead.
I'm glad to see you back.
Uh, we found Willa and, uh, some other hostages, the Bullywugs had, and, um, we managed to
take down the queen of the Bullywugs and her pet bullet.
Huh.
I remember when I told you that this quest was way out of your league, but I put you
on it anyway, cause I believed in you.
You see, there's a difference between the objective what's in front of you, a number
crunching thing and heart.
Merit.
Oh, that stuff.
You can read it.
You can write it down, but hard is something you could feel.
Good job.
Thank you.
I'm glad you were able to help.
Go ahead and name me everything that you did during this little quest.
So save the bunch of Bullywugs.
That's actually a fair point.
Um, are you all at all like involved or responsible with blocking off dangerous areas in the area?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay.
I should tell you what we found first.
Um,
Oh, all right.
Well, this sounds really exciting.
And she's, she was, well, we'd heard that there was this object called the stone of
tongues that the Bullywugs thought was made by their God.
So we went to go search for it because Jeremy von Fuzler in the woods, who you told us about,
he knew where it was, but couldn't get in because of traps and stuff.
Well, there's like this temple that's actually kind of like a wizard's tower and it's really
dangerous and, um, we found it and, um, there were some red caps and Gromishka and a giant
in there, um, because they were seeking not that book, but I mean, not the, not the stone
of tongues, but apparently a super evil book that possibly killed the mage who lived there
and Lundy himself, his body's down there.
Oh my God.
And I think that we destroyed the book, but I think it's really dangerous.
I think that place is really dangerous and I think it's, we should, I should make sure
nobody can get inside of it.
Oh Jesus.
He had stopped writing at a certain point because what you, what you were saying to
him was just, had just grappled him.
As he just kind of sinks, lets it sink in for a moment he goes, all right, Lundy was
in there you said?
I think it was him.
It was the father of Lathander and there was this journal that seemed like it was his.
His body was preserved.
I'm pretty sure you thought of this, but you just came across something pretty significant
to the surrounding territory here.
I mean, um, the mage was his friend here.
I have the journal.
If you want to look at that, it explains a lot.
She gives it to him.
He puts it down.
He just, he bats it gently.
He feels it.
He feels it for a moment.
And you see, as you see, as he touches it, the text on the, the text on the book itself
begins to like, it doesn't leave the page, but you see like arcane writing of it kind
of like floats in the air right in front of him as he holds it.
And as he, as he reads the better accessible texts to him at the moment, um, he just goes,
he only reads like one page for like putting it away and he goes, well, first things first,
this is going to give you a big up in the guild.
Wow.
I'm pretty stunned.
Thousand so years and none of that was ever found.
Yet it was found sleeping away in a swamp.
It's probably because it's pretty remote, but also because the place is trapped really
bad. and there's like this assistant thing, like a magical person in there, but it is
not always there because the magic's kind of breaking, um, who tries to lead you into
the traps.
So um, once we realized that it was a little bit easier to figure out where the safe parts
were, but it's still pretty dangerous.
Got it.
One part I'm giddy.
Two parts giddy.
One you did a great job.
And I always love it when I always love it when I can shove, I can rub something in
at least his face to, uh, to found something pretty, uh, historical.
All the adventures are definitely going to want to pick up some, some around here now.
This but safety of everyone is our number one priority here.
So we're probably going to get the place all nice and condemned.
We searched it pretty thoroughly.
I feel like, so, um, there shouldn't be like anything else too important in there, not
worth the risk.
Typically that book was really evil.
The protocol entails that whatever, whatever, uh, rewards you reaped from this dungeon,
because it was an initial part of the quest I'm supposed to take, but you didn't take
anything.
I, I mean, we got drunk on should be there.
Um, I don't see nothing.
Because it's no, it's not.
So, you know, in the future, when the, when a dungeon gets found out, go back to the adventures
guild, let them get the no, then you're entitled to the stuff.
You're still learning, but, uh, I'm learning too.
Uh, evil book, dad, Lundy from giant.
You said he, yeah, he was stuck behind a mirror trying to get the book and had these red caps
searching her library for a dispel magic scroll to free him, but he didn't get freed into
time.
And the starkness just killed him.
Red caps too.
This has all the makings of a really bad, really bad equation.
I don't see, I want to see what it all equals to.
Well, I think that's going to have to be a mystery for us to try and figure out, but
it's after cutting down that, uh, after cutting down that little dungeon, anything else you
can say that help us try to piece together this mystery that's been given to us?
Oh, well I can break down what we know about the traps and stuff too.
If that will help for getting rid of it safely.
But, um, um, after that, it was basically straightforward.
We took the stone of tongues and we went and talked to the Bullywugs and, um, most of them
turned against the queen right away.
But the queen was also talking about Char and apparently was going to do a human sacrifice.
I didn't know sacrifice and Bullywugs was in Char's portfolio, but, uh, I don't know
where exactly the lady lost where her levels go down to.
And she had the blood attack us.
She had the blood attack us, but we killed it and everyone was freed and everything's
fine now it looks like.
You seem kind of tired Cecilia.
I know I'm staying obvious here, but normally when a fledgling adventure like yourself saves
a colony of folks, uh, overcomes a dungeon, uh, defeats this large monstrosity that's
been terrorizing a population of people for a while on a single day, they have cause for
celebration yet.
I don't feel any of that from you.
Oh, um, which has been, um, last night was pretty long with the, um, dungeon and things.
And then we just kind of went straight out of everything today.
So I think I'm just probably kind of tired is all.
Yeah.
And how's your friend, uh, Jean-Claude?
I think he started a fight with Elise, but he is one be wanting Elise.
She waited till I left.
So this is something she really needed.
I'm sorry for your friend, but we have free drinks.
So maybe they'll dole the pain.
Yeah, he started it.
So it's his fault.
That dynamite, that dynamite fuse was already lit when you guys got here.
Probably.
That's what it looked like.
She's really nice though.
Um, I really liked her.
She's okay.
And we'll, uh, and yeah, more with Willis family, but I think she said she would stop
by tomorrow.
Oh yeah.
The surprise she's going to adopt him.
It's a thing.
Oh, that's been cooking for a few weeks now.
Don't tell her I said that.
Oh, um, well that's great news.
He seems to really like her and she seems really great.
All right.
Well, tell you what Cecilia, let me go ahead and give you the rundown of what's going to
happen.
Uh, office hours are almost closed and I, my brain turns off calculations and books
as soon as that clock hand hits nine.
There's a short one hits nine, but I'm going to tell you right now, you and Jean-Claude
bumped up a couple of spaces.
I say two of you are going to be at bronze.
Pretty good one.
Pretty good.
There's fledgling and then you're at wood.
Um, and then I believe you're at, there's going to be, uh, let's see this oak and then
there's copper, but you're going to be sitting really pretty at bronze.
Didn't at least put us at bronze too.
I'm not there.
This is asking.
Yeah.
Did she think she said no, she didn't.
Okay.
She also said you can go to bronze and that's as high as you can go.
I don't remember what she said.
Nevermind.
We'll take it.
Just, um, that seems like it really, um, that seems like it went up a lot.
How many points was all that?
She just wanted to know.
She just wants the points.
I can say it's about, he keeps looking at the clock.
Oh, look, it's about that time.
I'll give it to you.
I'll give it to you tomorrow.
Okay.
Um, thanks.
Um, good night then.
By the way, I made up some of those ranks.
Oh, you're at iron.
Oh.
Is iron higher than bronze?
It's lower.
Oh, I'm messing with you.
Um, I got one more question for you though, Cecilia.
Uh, all that char stuff.
I know you're a follower of saloon.
How does, how does all that stuff make you feel?
I mean, it's concerning.
Um, but I'm glad we were able to do something about it, but it's, that book's been there
for a very long time.
And it was surprising to see the bully book queen also talking about it since that's not
a typical bully.
Well, the, it really ain't.
It makes me think there's probably more going on.
That bully.
Well, queen also had some kind of relationship, some kind of relationship with that, with
that bullet.
So something foul is, how was I right?
Yeah.
It seemed like she lost control of it after Jean Claude started attacking her.
Still though that level, that kind of level of magic shouldn't be available to something
like that.
Dominating a large creature like that.
Sometimes I was playing here.
I'm sure you more than anyone knows how Betty shark can get, how far fear he goes.
Not on a personal level, but from the stories.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, just go ahead and get some well-deserved rest.
Iron venture.
Thanks.
Have a good night.
Tell the people at the bar, if you're down for a drink, to get you a Dean special.
I think it's a drink you would like specifically.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't really drink.
No.
I don't normally.
This'll get you hooked.
Okay.
Thanks.
Gives you a little salute as he just kind of like picks up the book and he ponders over
it as you leave.
Can I, before I leave, can I by chance just roll an insight check to see just a gauge
like his reaction to the book, if it extends to anything beyond worry.
Absolutely.
Roll insight.
Okay.
I don't think I have any bonus.
Maybe he's evil.
Daddy-o.
Seven.
Never mind.
Oh boy.
Oh wow.
Worry.
Definitely.
The other most present thing I would say is that there is curiosity.
But as far as gauging deeper feelings, he's a hard read man.
He'll head out, go downstairs and see what's happening with Jean Claude.
Jean Claude.
Picture this.
WWE styled fighting.
Jean Claude has his armor off.
He's rolled up his tunic to his sleeves and he is using a chair to fend off Elise.
You see Elise cast arcane muscles and just realist back, punches through the chair and
attempting to get to your face.
Can he, with her hand stuck in the chair, can he try to flip it over so that he unarms
her?
Make an athletics check for me.
Oh, they're full on fighting.
18.
Oh, 20.
30.
You twirl and she does this genuine shallow monk spin going along with the momentum.
She lands very, she lands very deftly.
This is, as far as you know, this was an office lady, but now she is full on going everything
everywhere all at once.
Right now, as she is going to, as you come in and you hear people chatting, fight, fight.
There are two people that are like knocked out right next to Elise that she has handled.
Jean Claude, please give me a, please give me a strength saving throw.
Or an athletics check.
Strength saving or, let's do athletics.
She's pissed.
She's, she has no class.
She is merely pissed.
21 for athletics.
Another 30.
But I beat her by one.
But she does have expertise.
Shut the fuck up.
In whooping his ass.
She does have expertise in grappling.
Oh damn.
She's going to grapple him?
Okay.
Not necessarily a negative.
21, 21.
I know what the ruling is.
If the, here's what we're going to do.
We, we, we equaled up.
We're going to, we're just going to roll straight D20s at each other.
Okay.
Straight D20.
Here we go.
10.
Oh!
Matt 20.
I think they're grappled like they're contesting for a bit.
Yeah.
She's like, she's like, she's like, has your hands grabbed.
She, her teeth, she's just trying to push against you.
Forehead against yours.
She wants to kill you so badly.
With their foreheads pressed together and their hands, he'll go, he'll go, like I said,
it's a girls in the playground and he's going to kick at her inner, the inner, her inner
step of her foot so that she stumbles a bit so that he can try to flip her onto the ground.
Oh God.
Okay.
Contending athletics.
12.
Oh!
Another 20.
26.
He would like to bring her to the ground.
As you kick, she just goes, shut your damn mouth.
You kick out her foot, she stumps and then you just bring her, you just bring her to
the ground and describe how you do that.
Oh, oh, it's full on like he, this is also giving me such Jane and Brooke flashbacks
right now.
I know, I know, I know.
That's what I was thinking too.
So he kicks, so they're like headlocked, right?
And they're foreheads on foreheads.
So he, she goes, shut the, and he kicks her instep and she stumbles a bit and he uses
that to wrap his arm around her middle.
He's not slamming her into the ground.
He's just like bringing her to the ground so that when she lands on the ground, he's
got one arm, like he's not on her at all, but he's definitely got like one arm braced
above her head as he's, you know, above her looking down at her and goes, given.
Jean Claude make, so you have one arm underneath her, right?
And the other is braced, yep.
So hold himself above her.
So as you, as you give her freedom of movement with her hands, give me a wisdom save.
She's going to rip out, she's going to rip out his eyeballs.
Give me a, give me a wisdom saving throw.
He's going to die.
16.
Oh, that, that succeeds.
Cool.
As she, as she just, you see, you see, she, she, she, she, she looks over to see like
someone's meal that they're eating, like some kind of like sweet meal.
Like she, she just looks up, she just like, kind of like quickly dabs up a thing, like
a little drop of molasses and just palms your face as she tries to cast slow.
Oh Jesus.
But you, but you feel, you feel the woo for just a moment, but you manage to shake it
off and she's just looking at you so pissed.
So wait, her hand is on his face.
It's it's, it's like, it's like a vice grip.
Like she's actively, it hurts.
Right.
She's like trying to squeeze it.
Yeah.
And with that, he'll lick her hand.
Much like, much like kids fighting on the playground.
As you lick her hand, there's like, there's a little moment of, oh, I'm just like absolutely
disgusted.
And with that, he's going to try to pin her hand down.
Um, there, I'm letting you know, the crowds like super, the crowds like super like, yeah,
I'm not clod like no one ever wins against Elyse.
Um, okay.
We're working one more contested athletics.
One more, one more, the last one.
Okay.
19.
21.
She does get a d4.
Let's give her, come on Elyse.
You're also four then.
Oh, she beat him by one.
By one.
By one point.
She pushes up against you.
She just, just so much rage.
You feel the ground shaking beneath you.
As she just, she then like, like a wrestler, like a very educated grappler.
She moves behind you and wraps her arms like around your waist.
That's my tummy.
As she, as she clutches your waist very tightly.
Um, is she going to back to the anime back bend thing?
She's going to do a German suplex.
Let's make it.
Oh, that's one.
Oh Jesus.
Uh, 12.
Chad, should we give her one more roll?
Should we, should we allow her?
Chad, should we allow Elyse one more roll to see if she can beat John Claude's ass?
This is a German suplex.
You guys want it.
Maybe, maybe she'll have advantage because I crossed very far.
I'm kidding.
I'm not going to do that.
That's a John Claude.
It's okay.
He deserves it.
Yes.
We have a need.
That's the only one we need.
We'll tell him we need.
Rage advantage.
Heck yeah.
22.
Hey.
John Claude, you're a great wrestler.
John Claude, your feet leave, leave the ground.
You see the ceiling of the, of the tavern and then a large crash as splinters, as, as
you feel the crack of a wooden table as splinters into your back as you were smashed through
a table.
And I think his world goes dark.
Elyse stands up.
Looked down.
Looking down at the defeated John Claude.
Yes.
And she just, she's in a war shout.
Oh my God.
It's like the secretary's taken off her glasses and her hair is like all.
Sean Claude wishes a different orc lady was the one beating him up out of themselves.
This is true.
He did try to flirt with this, this one too though.
He was more so trying to be cocky.
It did not go well as we can see.
Yeah.
Ties up her hair, puts up her glasses.
Cecilia over the, oh, you noticed me.
Hi.
I did.
I told you he was really good.
That's why he's unconscious on the ground.
His body just limply hanging off the table.
Mom, I want that one.
He fought a bully bug queen this morning.
So.
I'm not saying that.
Nevermind.
And you're really good too.
Good is going to say couldn't handle all the queens.
She should say that.
Restrained with Cecilia.
Well, whatever he has done outside, it says within his status as an adventurer, I am sure
that many others will find, will find to appreciate.
Now I have a feeling I know where his head is at through a table, but I do have to, I
do have to ask.
And she, she just, she, she walks away from the mess.
As you see a bunch of other adventures are like picking up, like try to get Jean Claude
up.
One of them is like fanning him and just goes, let him down gently.
He's a hero.
No one ever stood up to at least like that.
He's an idiot, not a hero.
She just goes to you as Cecilia.
It goes, I reckon you will want to get a well-deserved nights of rest.
Yeah, that would be great.
Jean told me I should ask for the Dean special.
It is apple juice.
Oh, oh my God.
That's so cute.
Okay.
Um, I guess I could get that then.
Come with me.
She walks to the bar.
Um, and you just see the bartender rubbing a tanker goes, looks at, looks at, at least
goes busy day.
Uh, and, and, and at least goes, the noise is gone.
Anyways, two D Mark and specials.
Do you know, you cast a spell during that, right?
I attempted to.
Do you know the silence spell?
It seems like it might be a little more efficient.
I'll learn it right away.
Oh, I didn't mean to be offensive.
If you thought that was, um, it's going to be fun to Apple juices, ice cold Apple juices,
the tall glasses, really tall tickets.
I mean, are put in front of the both of you.
And she just, just drinking out.
It's Cecilia next.
Albert says beating up John Claude, the perfect catharsis.
Correct.
Maybe I'll be able to beat up John Claude.
Makes everyone feel better.
I'm so glad you're the only one here with some, with a connection to him.
So this was your first quest, was it not?
With the guild, um, quests kind of before.
Okay.
Takes a drink again.
Well, congratulations.
Thank you.
You're now at bronze rank, right?
He said he could tell me how many points it was in the morning, but he said, he said iron.
Blue sky, cobalt plushies, Rex.
Are you okay?
Yes.
It's delayed response.
What is her class?
Um, she just goes, well, she snaps her, she snaps her finger twice.
Um, set up bartender goes key for them.
And, uh, he, he, he just gives you, puts a, goes to this like little, a range where you
see like multiple wooden tags or attach the keys, picks one up, pops one in front of you.
Thank you.
Enjoy your day, Cecilia.
You too, um, enjoy the peace and quiet.
I won't because there won't be any, because it's the hell that I've been assigned when
as soon as I took this job as provost.
Do you like it?
Do you?
Cecilia.
I'm sorry if I, um, if you want to have this conversation, we will.
We don't have to, if you don't want, if you're going to insist, I love this job.
Oh my God.
Oh no.
It does have its stressors.
You see, I'm a person of order and she will keep going if you, if you allow her to.
She's listening and nodding.
Um, eventually Jean-Claude, um, the slapping of your face wakes you up.
Uh, hey buddy, are you doing all right?
Yeah, you're doing fine.
I sure do.
Smell this.
Smelling salts.
Whoa.
Hits you right away.
Oh, f**k.
Ouch.
Banded my nose.
Um, Elise, I'm running here in Jean-Claude's voice just.
It's a trigger.
People are usually unconscious for three hours following the Elise Plex.
I, oh, nevermind.
I was going to cast silence, but I didn't prepare it this morning.
Um.
That's fine.
Turned against by my own.
You should be on your way now.
Unless you wish to join the adulations, then in that case, I will not be here.
And I will not be expecting a mess to clean up in the morning.
She says to everyone else.
If I find a single speck, even a single one, I will harm Jean-Claude to an unpleasent
degree.
Hey.
And it will be, and it will be all of your faults.
Do you understand me?
Wait, what?
But I am punished for it?
She, her head turns towards you.
There's a little like rusty creaks out of she.
I think it's better not to argue.
Hands up.
His hands are up.
She just gets up.
She just goes.
Have a good day.
See you all tomorrow.
Walks out of the, uh, walks out of the tavern.
Um, looks out of the, uh, the guild.
Um, and at this, and at this point, uh, uh, some people are like, Oh, well Jean-Claude
was pretty nice.
Uh, and you know, fought at least really well.
So we'll just clean up afterwards.
And other people are like, let's just go wild.
We're not being punished for this.
Jean-Claude just puts his hands behind his head and just rests his head back and goes,
I mean, maybe it's good for her to let her hair down once in a while.
And what are you saying?
I don't know.
I got my head hit pretty hard.
I'm going to go to bed now.
He'll start slowly creaking, moving to go upstairs.
Hey, you should take pride in that.
Okay.
People are usually conscious for three hours.
Oh, wow.
It's because I'm a groven gout.
He's really good at being knocked out.
That doesn't sound like the way I meant it.
Um, so just, so see, this feels like a good way to go about it.
I'm just going to go to bed now.
I'm going to go to bed now.
He's really good at being knocked out.
That doesn't sound like the way I meant it.
Um, so just, so see, this feels a gentle but heavy hand on her shoulder and just a few
more taps and goes, enjoy your victory.
Cecilia.
I'm going to bed before I puke.
He's going to go up the stairs and go to bed.
I look at the, the, the bartender who she got the key from.
Is there any chance we can have two rooms?
Yeah, absolutely.
No problem.
Thanks.
Boom.
Got the key.
Joining rooms.
Okay.
Not a joining set, just neighboring rooms.
Oh, okay.
As you, as you're going to find your way to the, uh, to the bedroom.
Yeah.
As Jean-Claude doesn't even know a room to go to.
He has a really bad concussion.
Oh no.
I'm not doing so hot.
You, Jean-Claude, you stumble your way upwards as, as Cecilia, um, you are, um, making, you're
making your way up.
Um, the two, um, the two of you eventually find your rooms, uh, with proper accommodations.
Actually, some of the, um, I don't know if you guys have been in an inn.
Yeah, you've been in an inn.
Um, better accommodations than, uh, better accommodations than an inn.
Um, there are rules put on every, um, that, that rules put on every, uh, like every room.
It says you can take the inkwell.
You can take the, the pen.
Uh, please do not take the desks three times underlined.
Um, and, uh, three of you find sleep.
Three?
Who's the third?
Two of you?
Secret third person.
Who's the secret third?
Why are you making that face to me?
Is someone sticking it to my bed?
It makes it look like it wasn't a mis-speak, but like there's actually a third person.
Wait, wait, who's the third person?
Two of you go to bed.
I do have one thing I want to do since we leveled up last time.
Um, as she's going to bed, she's been practicing this the past few nights that she's had not
busy since like she, since her and Stellar split up because, um, Stellar had mentioned
a spell that she'd said that she was also trying to learn to communicate with people
from long distance.
She has the little wire, um, that's used in the spell.
Um, and she's just been practicing the past few nights and when she does the spell, she
thinks it works this time and she casts it on Stellar.
Um, but because she's surprised that it actually seemed to work this time, she goes, oh, um,
I think it worked if it did, hi Stellar, or I mean Clover, I guess.
I just wanted to see how you and, and that's where it would cut off.
Oh no!
How you and Jaime were doing, I think I got the spell to work that you were talking about
but she can't hear that other stuff.
Laughter.
Hey doll, good to hear your voice again.
Doll?
That's what she called me last time.
It's been an eventful few days but we're still here and that matters.
Next sending on me.
She says, um, 25 words by the way.
Keep count.
Uh, and she goes, make all your words count with me.
If you really like me.
Wow.
He's going really heavy handed with it.
Wow.
No, that's how she's been.
That's like, that's the kind of character.
Wow.
No, not wow.
Okay, um.
Laughter.
I'm out of spells.
Respond, good night.
So that was the second sending she sent?
Yes.
Gotta be.
Okay, so I can reply.
Yeah, I was like, that's a lot of words.
That's a lot of words.
Did you just figure it out too?
Um, she actually keeps saying um.
No!
Jean Claude and I just freed a bunch of Bullywugs from an evil queen and I killed, uh, accidentally cuts off again.
God damn it, Cecilia.
She was going to say killed a bullet, but she didn't count the um because she didn't think it would count.
God damn it, Cecilia.
But that's where it ends.
That's where it ends.
And then she does have one more spell slot.
Um, but now that she realizes that it works, I think the thought for Delmyra would come in again.
And I don't know if we want to do that right now or if we should wait.
We can certainly do that.
Okay.
Here we go.
It takes her a little bit.
I think actually this one she'll probably actually write down what she wants to say before she says it.
Um, because the stuff with Stella didn't seem to work that well.
Um, and because she is very nervous about it.
But she'll say um.
Hi, Delmyra.
I'm okay.
I'm sorry for lying to you.
If you're following me, please go home.
Dad is in danger.
A scarecrow unseely.
Sis, I.
And it cuts off there.
That's it.
He takes out the moon shards.
No.
God damn it.
And since she used her two spell slots, we can use the moon shards to get back a spell slot.
She gets back one third level spell, but she ignores the point of exhaustion because she ignores the first point of exhaustion every day.
Fatigue.
And she.
She says.
Some mirror. Are you okay?
What's happening? Why didn't the message go through?
No response.
And you wait for a bit.
Nothing comes.
Doesn't know what to do.
She can't go get Jean Claude because what are they going to do?
Like, what can they even do?
Pray.
But she'll just.
Sit there in the room with the moon shards and.
Try to wait to see if something changes.
Maybe eventually fall asleep.
But she's trying not to.
Hours pass.
Your legs grow numb in the various positions.
You forget to shift your legs around to get the blood in and.
You are met with this.
Agonizing.
Relentless.
Silence.
There's a clock in the room.
And when you think maybe five minutes have passed, you look up and you see.
That the shorthand has moved.
A couple more notches.
As hours pass.
And as your body spends energy to fight the silence.
You feel it as sleep encroaches upon you.
It threatens the back of your eyes.
Hours have passed.
While she was trying to stay awake, she.
Does probably eventually fall asleep.
Even if she doesn't want to.
Wait, she's not wearing her dream cap.
No, she wouldn't be in that case.
Just in that shards, but in that case.
Cecilia.
Please.
Give me.
A wisdom saving throw.
Oh, no.
Not one.
Total of eight.
No.
It's one of those cases.
Oh, no.
It's one of those cases of.
You know, some nights you want to wait, you want to keep yourself awake.
Maybe a conversation has gone.
It's going really well.
It's too fun to sleep.
But sleep nips away at you.
There are times when you sleep for just like two seconds, but then you wake up and realize what a close call that was.
You fight it away.
The one time you do close your eyes.
It's final sleep.
In most cases, it wins.
You feel that the gentle cloak of sleep covering your eyes, giving you rest.
Maybe when you wake up in the morning, it'll still hang heavy over you like a hangover.
That's when you hear it.
You're in that state of half dreaming, but your thoughts are with you.
You're asleep and you can't move.
But you could still hear the gentle bustle of people outside in the adventurous guild as it does run for a while.
But then the gentle tussle of trees.
And a little breeze of wind, crushing your face.
Perhaps a thought crossed your mind that maybe you left the window open.
You didn't, but maybe you did.
You pull at your eyes for a moment.
And as you awake, you see before you Adelera.
Your house in front of you.
The gentle, sleepless, lampless.
Hamburg. That's your hometown.
And the lights are on in your home.
There is a moment when you're just standing there and you realized, yes, this is a dream.
I'm dreaming right now.
There comes a moment where you feel like you're standing still, but yet the house seems to be getting farther and farther away from you.
And as this effect sort of goes on behind you, you hear,
Sissy.
Little moon.
It turns very quickly.
You see the face of your father.
Standing.
He is wearing the outfit that he wore when he,
when Delmira attempted to go save him that night.
Clueless look on his face as he's looking at you with genuine confusion.
Little moon, what are you doing here so late?
I, um,
I already know it's a dream.
I was looking for you.
For me.
The worry melts away as the warmth of the innocent warmth of his daughter fills his heart.
I just realized that, um,
I forgot to tell you that I love you before I was going to go to bed.
So I wanted to tell you that.
He walks up to you.
He had recently shaved, so he has some sandpaper quality to his, to his facial hair at the moment.
He walks up to you. He, he, he engulfs you in this warm, fatherly hug that seems very, very familiar.
Um, and he does that thing that he always, he always did before.
Um, where if the hug gets a bit too affectionate, he'll break up, he'll break up the tension with a little rub of his sandpaper like hair on your, on your forehead.
And you feel it, the familiar burn of his hair rubbing against your forehead.
You can feel it even though it's a dream and stuff.
Yes.
She, she feels like it's a dream.
Yeah, she's already crying.
Aww.
Alright.
I'm here.
He, he places a hand up to you wiping your tears away.
Um, and he goes, I'm sorry your sister isn't here.
She's, uh, you've heard me say it a lot of times before, but she's away on important business.
But one day she is going to come back.
And we'll be, we'll all be together again.
I know.
I love you too.
Even when you leave me.
Even when you run off.
Because you've given up on me.
Fuck this nightmare.
I hate this.
Yeah, JT, I fucking knew it too.
It was going to be a fucking douchebag fucking move.
You've.
Why else would you leave me alone?
No, that's not.
After everything I've done for you.
I didn't want to leave you alone.
All these years.
You've kept me alive.
For what?
For this?
For torture?
Oh no.
You know I won't come back.
Why didn't you just kill me?
Why didn't you do the merciful thing?
Little moon.
His hands slide down for a moment as he is holding you at like, forearm length.
I'm sorry.
No.
Is sorry, sorry is enough?
I hate him.
For years of torture?
I didn't know I just wanted you to come back.
I thought you were smart.
I'm glad my wife died.
As his hand slowly begins to wrap around your neck.
To see this little fucking failure that we call our daughter.
I think instinctively.
She does try to pull away.
Make an athletics check.
Tell the nightmare to fuck itself CC.
This was supposed to be a fun session guys.
Sorry.
Another nat one.
No no no no no no no no.
You got two nat 20s earlier I get two nat ones.
No no no and they were dumb fucking shit.
No no no no no no.
You pull away.
Successfully.
As you do, as you stumble backwards, something tugs at your front.
A chain.
As you look down to see the chain.
You look up and you see your father now you are in your you're in the bedroom, a familiar scene multiple times over, your father in his bed.
You you beside him taking care of him, the food that you ground up to to feed him.
Everything you've prepared in another chain comes and wraps itself over you.
You are the chains directly coming from beneath the bed wrapping itself around the feet of the bed wrapping around you.
As you are attempting to pull away.
You hear you hear a voice call out to you.
Feed him feed your father he's hungry.
Don't you try to wake herself up she still remembers it's a dream.
You make the attempt, and you hear.
You.
Well I have you.
Cecilia.
I don't want.
The chain from your protruding from your father's body.
Began to begin to sprawl out and rapture and wrap itself around you.
And when you look for any hint of freedom.
You do get it in the answer of Delmira.
To your side.
Walking away out of the village entrance, where you will always watch her walk.
And you are chained here to your father.
Ouch.
Darkness, a very very cold frigid darkness suddenly overtakes the scene.
And you see murmuring awake this light orange glow in the distance.
As the face of what looks like a jack-o'-lanterns face begins to light up like the very dim red edges of a candle.
You can just barely see it in the distance.
And a sound of a singular chain dragging across the ground.
Your father.
He needs you.
You're the one.
Sean Claude talked about.
Did you?
Yes.
Many don't have a name to it.
I am the unexplainable.
The feeling that lingers in the corner of your room.
Doubt come alive.
Intangible and real.
I am the uncanny.
And you have something that I want.
A leech.
Something that's sucking you dry.
You're not powerful enough to keep it safe.
I know you, Idlewind.
All these optimistic thoughts fighting away all these doubts.
Augustus' words hurt you, didn't they?
I hate it.
What if I told you there's so much more doubt?
Not just a cat.
But anyone with eyes.
What if I told you that it is preferable for some for you to hold those shards?
Because then it would be easier to take it from you than from Delmyra.
Why do this?
Young Cecilia.
I can help.
Put all of this away.
Steal your father back from Crowrack.
Who?
He goes, you see, that is a name that you wouldn't even, Dane, come across during your venture.
You weren't even close to knowing.
Crowrack.
I'm gonna spell it in the chat one more time.
Let me spell it out for you.
I already wrote it in my notes.
This guy's a douchebag.
I hate it.
He's dumb and his names are dumb and he's dumb.
Yikes, okay.
I'm just trying to do something.
Davin, I know.
This guy seems great at parties.
Have you ever heard of M'Lar, the god of savagery?
His divine spark is no more.
He's been felt.
A god has died.
Again, by a new, more savagery god.
Jean-Claude, give me a perception check.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, let me shut this fucker up.
Dirty 20.
The snoring, the drink heavy on the breath.
But your guard senses catch something. As you catch the faintest hint of something, it gives you pause.
Your snoring stops. You're barely conscious.
As your eyes blink open for a moment, you hear something in the hallway.
Not something heavy, just...
Usually, this should be footsteps. I mean, that's what hallways are for, right? But something light, something...
What's the sound you've heard before?
Straw?
Oh no. Absolutely fucking not. He's moving.
You move.
And as you do, you open up the door, you step out, and as you look to your left towards Cecilia's door,
this entity looks at you at the same time.
It's bagged head tilting to the side.
A scarecrow with its hand on the doorknob at the moment.
It is instinctual. He does not even grab his weapon. He just full on tackles this fucking thing to the ground.
As you tackle it to the ground, I'm going to go ahead and give it to you. It's a scarecrow.
As you tackle it to the ground, it just goes completely limp.
And it's a straw on the ground.
I'm going to burn the fuck out of you!
Cecilia, you do hear the distance. I'm going to burn the fuck out of you.
It says,
Listen, Eidolon, it's a ticking bomb. The Ashards, they put you and your family in danger.
Hand it over to me.
They put my family in danger because you were threatening them. Am I wrong?
Cecilia cocks the gun. Tell me I'm wrong.
Do you think that it ends, or even begins with me?
Leave my father alone. Leave Delmyra alone. Jean-Claude.
A heartful request.
Perhaps.
And Jean-Claude, are you opening the door?
I was going to say at this point, you hear him going,
That's another fucking scarecrow!
As he rips the door open.
And you see Cecilia asleep.
Before you act.
I'll give you the go ahead when you can do it.
He's here.
Perhaps, if you give, if you render unto me the moon shards,
You won't fail. Your father and your sister.
That would be one of the biggest failures I could give for Delmyra.
You're probably wondering about her, aren't you?
Wandering in the dark. Just like in Jean-Claude, you want to do something.
You unseelie piece of shit motherfucker, if you touched one hand on her head, you one fucking piece of straw!
You hear from the back of Hording, hold eyes, the motherfucker here is living out of me!
I told you he was, you, there's a fucking, where are you?
And he's like digging through the back to grab an Atheist.
Where is it? Do you see it? What do you see?
Where's that bitch? Hold on.
Put me over there.
Cecilia, wake up!
It doesn't do anything?
Okay, Jean-Claude's going to go, okay, hold on.
You watch over us. And he puts Atheist like on the windowsill.
So he can keep an eye on the door.
Don't tell me what to do. I'll watch over you all.
And at that, Jean-Claude is going to, you know, lean down.
Because it's odd that she's not, one, it's odd there's a scarecrow outside her door.
Two, that she didn't wake up when he tackled it.
And three, that she's still not waking up.
So he knows something is wrong.
So he's just going to lean down and just gently take her hand and squeeze it.
Very gently and go, come on, kiddo. Time to wake up.
It's okay. It's okay.
Do you think that you can trust them?
Just like what?
Where is Delmyra?
Indisposed.
They don't give me the moon chance right now.
I am going to kill her.
Give me an insight check.
Yeah.
He's lying.
Because he can't do that.
But she doesn't know that.
He's lying because he needs to give them to Delmyra.
13.
He's an old fucking liar.
Hey, chat.
Guess what?
You get an exclusive role.
Chat, have him fail it.
Have him fail.
Chat, I need your energy.
Chat, have him fail.
I'm listening.
Albert is going to give him an advantage.
No, Albert.
Get out of here.
Albert.
I'll take it.
No.
But if someone else gives him disadvantage, then it just evens out.
Disadvantage.
The birth of a JT is upset.
The father of scarecrows.
Has meant every word that he said.
No.
No, he rolled high.
Disadvantage.
You guys have the stream of two, right?
I do.
Silvery barbs.
He's a liar.
He's lying.
Wait, can we see what he rolled?
Let me see.
Oh, no.
Wait, is it on stream?
It's on stream.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
He's lying.
He's a liar.
I give this roll out to Albert and India.
Don't give it to her.
She wanted to sabotage him.
He's a liar.
Thank you.
He's a liar.
I don't take it.
JT is about to stage his own French Revolution in the chat.
Cecilia goes, if you could do that so easily, why didn't you just take them from me yourself? You sent Farlius.
Delmyra wouldn't fall to someone like him.
Playing chess now, motherfucker.
It's so clear that she's torn.
She doesn't care about anything more than her family, but the moon shards are very close up there.
Jean-Claude, do you start opal dropping Cecilia?
I think he would. Sorry, guys. I'm looking at my bells.
He will cast. Oh, thank Christ. I knew I had it. Protection from good and evil.
Wait a second, motherfucker.
Give me one second here. Let me see what this is doing.
They are on the list.
Jenny Sherard, one of the best people I ever know.
And it needs holy water. So I think he would like dig through Cecilia's bag just for water.
This is not his forte.
You're looking for it. I know when you think about it, you just get it.
You're just kind of searching for it. And then you hear Apheus just go, what are you looking for?
Holy water.
Ah, spa water. Think about that.
Spa water.
And you pull it up. It's holy water, but it has a label on it.
What the fuck? Okay. And then he's going to and I think you need verbal somatic material. Oh no, I threw my phone.
I got stressed out. So I think he goes. So yet again, this is technically like a cleric spell.
So he has no fucking clue what he's doing.
So he's just taking dipping his hand in the spa water and just sprinkling it over her and going, go away, go away.
Go away from Cecilia.
You saw Cecilia cast this exact spell yesterday.
Is it working? Is it working?
Shut up, I'm trying and then at some point he's getting stressed out, it's not a fodder and he starts drowning her in heck.
Cecilia, it begins to rain as you as you stand in front of this behemoth hunched over crooked figure.
He just goes.
You failed your mommy and daddy. You failed your sister.
What's one more failure?
Wait a second, mushroom spell drowning. You wake up and see Jean Claude.
A mayhem slaps you across the face.
He sees her wake up. He just pulls her into a big, big, big tight bear hug.
That's right, suffocate her. That'll wake her up.
I'm awake. What are you doing here? Are you okay?
Am I okay? And he flings her back, you know, like put like he's holding onto her.
Are you okay? There was a scarecrow outside your door and you were not waking up.
You look at the doorway. Scarecrow's not there.
I was not seeing shit this time.
I have been on drugs before. This is not the time or the place that I have done them. I promise you.
Hey guys, can you can you keep it down a little or at least close the door?
A person walks in the doorway, just in there. Shut the fuck up.
And he stands to his full height because he is very, very stressed out.
Oh, geez. I'm just going to close the door.
He sits back down and goes, there was a scarecrow outside your door.
And I tackled it to the ground and you didn't hear it.
All you had to do was to sleeping. So when you came in here, we're like, Vasilia, what the fuck is going on?
And you kept sleeping. I was worried that something had happened.
She's really quiet. Okay, so something happened. What happened?
I think Delmyra is in danger and I don't know where she is and I don't know what to do.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Why do we think that?
I figured out how to cast that spell I was talking about, the one that lets me message people.
And I tried it with Stellar and it worked. And then I cast it on Delmyra and she started to reply and then it stopped.
And I tried again and she never responded. Okay. Not good.
Could you send a message to Augustus since he should be with her?
I can try. She had the moon shards out when she fell asleep with her. She is going to have to use the moon shards to do it.
Yeah, that's a tough order. It's not been a long rest, has it?
It has not. In fact, you have taken a point of strife.
What the fuck? What does that do again?
Well, my mouse cursor has disappeared on me. So we'll never know.
I did that to Deacon. It's not supposed to happen to me. Why is my mouse cursor?
Why is everything? I think it's disadvantage on the mental checks. Yes.
Mental health checks? And then the repel hit it from me. Give it to me back. I need it for this one.
This is her vengeance.
Well, well, well, if it isn't a taste of your own medicine, Jenny, you say as if Deacon is like your bestie.
Zack and Deacon go way back. They kind of did in a way. They kind of did in a way. They killed one and killed the other.
Okay, disadvantage on intelligence, wisdom and charisma checks.
Okay, thank you. My cursor is still missing. It usually comes back.
India has taken it and claimed it for herself. Give it back. I'm not tall enough to reach for it.
She, um, you see her reach for the moon shards on the bed.
Jean Claude puts his hand out.
I don't have enough energy to cast it again without them.
Maybe we could ask someone else.
What do we tell someone else to send a message to a sphinx slash cat named Augustus?
I mean, come on, we've got to have something and he's going to go over to the bag of holding and go, sending scroll.
And Augustus goes, I mean, not the justice, if he just goes now.
I sending stone.
You really think you have those in there?
I don't know. I just just grab a handful of his hair.
Augustus's hair? Yes. That's enough? Yes. Okay. Augustus's hair.
God, stupid dummy.
As you, as you pull out a handful of like, um, it's a hairball, but not one of the ones we throw up.
It's literally just like dried hair that's shed everywhere in the bag.
Okay, I have hair.
I gave it to someone.
Okay, hold on. Augustus, and he thinks that he can use the hair as a sentence.
That's not how this spell works. No. Let him.
I don't. If something's.
If Delmira is in danger, I want to find out as soon as possible. Hey, Cecilia.
I'm Delmira's friend.
She wanted to check up on you.
Um, yes.
I'm from the same adventure and groups she is.
Go ahead. Let me know.
You're.
And it cuts off. You're what location? Like that's not sketchy as fuck. How you're.
How you're doing. Am I able to tell which person this is?
Um, right away.
I mean, like, Delmira definitely hasn't like brought up like anyone's voices or anything like that.
But platinum, it's like, maybe, maybe not. Maybe not able to tell. But like, if you want to use.
If you use a process of elimination, this is like, probably like the one that's her age in that group, the tiefling.
Cursors. I can't click on my notes.
She goes.
Yes. Is she OK?
I tried to tell her she needs to go back to our father.
There's an unsealy scarecrow threatening him and her.
From Domira.
She knows.
She has a protection spell on him.
Saloon is protecting your father.
We have to deal with a few things.
And another setting hits you.
The mirror wants to find you.
But we're caught up with something right now.
She says, be safe.
And one day she will catch up to you.
She loves you.
I love her.
Too, but she really needs to go home.
You're all OK.
Where are you?
What? What are you doing?
Accessing notes on my phone.
Not the best.
This is so frustrating because all my tabs are right there and I can't click on any of them.
One second. Looking at notes.
Where in where in Velvetyde?
You tried to kidnap the Lord's wife. Oh, God.
What? Don't tell Domira. But nice.
We'll find you if we want to.
Be safe.
But what are you doing? You said there's business.
You have to handle what? What are you doing?
I hate something.
All right.
How many spells does he have? Let me think. These are high level ventures.
Domira's group. They're like they're like level what? Nine. Yeah.
Jesus.
We're gonna deal with this archfey.
Oh, wow.
Don't do anything rash.
Like kidnap Lord's his wives.
Though you have my approval.
He knows he's probably gonna be running out of those slots if he hasn't already.
So she's like but she is like.
She does get a reply. She goes.
This archfey. You mean the scarecrow?
Are all of the Vexillium there?
Do you need help?
Too many questions.
I'll do best.
Scarecrow. Yeah.
Everyone know.
Help know.
I have too many words.
Could have saved life.
With spells.
Oh, no. No more.
Kidnap.
The kidnap thing is complicated.
I know you can't reply right now, but how are you going to do this?
Stop asking questions.
Okay, hold on. Has Cecilia been saying this out loud or has she just been sitting in silence?
She's kind of muttering to herself.
And at this point she feels hands clamp on either side of her face.
What are you saying?
It's the mirror's friend. He's messaging me.
There's no response to that.
Can you feel me in? You've been mumbling this entire time.
Sorry, I was just really trying to pay attention.
According to her friend, she's okay.
And she...there's a protective spell over our dad.
And she knows about the Scarecrow. And she said that they're going to kill him.
Great. That would make things a lot easier for us in our journey to keep going across the continent.
From now on, because Albert has a good point, we have to do it in six seconds each time.
No. No, never.
Oh my god.
No, JT goes no.
Either time me. You don't get both.
I was going to say that both is extreme.
Yeah, both is extreme. We're doing the 25 word one because it's really funny.
She goes, they say they don't need help, but I don't know what they're doing. I'm just glad she's okay.
She realizes that she's about to get into territory that's not going to make sense to John Claude and just cuts herself off.
Okay, well, I'm glad that she's alright. I'm glad that your dad's alright.
But Cecilia, I think we should start worrying about...
And he looks at the moon shards back up at her.
Yes, first.
I can't not worry about her.
Right. But I think she has this handled. And to help her out and her friend, we have to handle our end.
Still sounds like she's not going to let that happen either.
That's too bad. We are already here. We cannot turn back. We have to keep going forward.
I think that Faye you talked to also talked to me.
What did he say?
He told me that Delmyra was indisposed and that if I didn't give him the moon shards, he would kill her.
And is your sister indisposed?
She shakes her head.
I think...
And he taps her forehead gently.
Be careful up here. They like to play.
Does he see her wrestling with something or is this Jenny thinking?
No, it's definitely her.
Yeah, does he see her wrestling with something?
Definitely. She's right in front of you.
What else did he say?
That was basically it.
Well, no, not completely actually. He said a name.
I already forgot how to pronounce this from my notes.
Crowrag.
Maybe the new god of savagery.
Okay.
That's basically all he said.
And that is what you're struggling with.
No, I just...
I just...
I don't know what to do.
About what?
If Delmeiro's okay on her own and my dad's okay on his own and if we should keep going.
Keep in mind, Cecilia.
We have had multiple creatures, people, things trying to stop us.
We are carrying very powerful things.
But if they go into their wrong hands,
I think your loved ones and many others will be much, much, much worse off
than at this given moment where they seem to be safe.
I did this to keep them safe.
I didn't think it would make everything worse.
It is not your fault.
It is not my fault.
It just is.
And tomorrow we get back on the road and get as far as we can.
I fear the father, the moonsheds are from your family, the better.
Not a bit.
Is that what you are worried about? That this is your fault?
No, I'm worried about my family.
The cleric, I think, would help to have a little faith in them.
And more importantly, have faith in you.
That we will fix this.
And they will make it right.
She nods.
You're not sure if it's resonating with her, but she nods.
Can I insight check?
Go ahead.
Nope.
She nods.
He's going to give her a gentle pat on the shoulder and go.
I'm going to pull my sleeping bag in here.
Afius, please watch the door for us.
A couple of assholes out there, but they're just people.
Yep.
We can handle people.
Maybe.
That is something I might have done in my panic.
I would neither confirm nor deny.
Dummy.
Afius, go.
No, fuck you.
Maybe we should go to the other room instead.
Yeah, this room is creepy anyway. Come on.
And he's going to put Afius under one arm.
At least put me in the bag.
No, you need to stay and see the world.
Fuck the world.
Anyone in the hallway?
They're going to see a talking skull is what they're going to see.
You make your way into the hallway.
You see there's a commotion outside of like people are like, it's nothing.
There's all the screaming earlier and like it's just a small group of adventurers.
As they see you come out, they're like an orc is like, hey, is everything all right?
Seeing the skull.
Fuck you.
After Afius says fuck you, Sean Cluck goes, do not ask questions you want the answer to.
This is a quote that something like don't ask a question if you don't want an answer and you might want this answer, but really you don't want this answer.
You know what I mean? Like this is an answer you shouldn't really have.
They wouldn't be able to anyways.
I'm the most powerful lich has ever existed.
He's not a lich. Not a lich. It's okay.
He's not an adventurous challenge.
Just a buddy.
Buddy?
Just a buddy on the back.
Let's go to the bed.
Good night everyone.
Give me away from these people. These Gawkers.
These hooligans.
They're just trying to figure out this puzzle that's been presented to them.
We leave really early in the morning.
Like I thought we were going to leave like a reason with them.
I want us out at first light. Like get the fuck out of here.
Before we can get kicked out again.
Yeah. Yeah. That's okay.
We are the end of the dog.
APS goes even though he doesn't have lips.
So it's just air.
Did you just fout? Is that you fouting?
I'm next to a big fart right now.
Oh wow. Skating.
Gotcha.
He thought that was a real compliment.
He rolls his eyes.
He thought that was a real compliment.
Let him have it. Let him have it.
Long rest is had.
Except for Cecilia.
Because she's stricely.
I just realized I'm saying this now. This is not going to matter in a little bit. You'll see why.
As at least sleep is had.
Jean Claude, you being especially wary.
An alarm first light eventually does come.
Cecilia seems a bit worse for wear at the moment, but you just.
The age old tactic of having her sleep on the wagon and you.
Yeah.
Never heard.
Getting ready to leave them.
Yeah.
As you get up and leave alongside Cecilia, having every one of your things packed up, ready to be alongside the road along the road of Twines once more.
You as you head down the stairs, you cross the bar to see both Willa and Elise at the bar. Willa has her arm around Elise's shoulder.
Oh, my God. Well, Jean Claude.
They're friends.
And they were actually roommates.
Right. Right. Jean Claude is perceptive when it comes to that shit, at least.
To be being genuine.
I'd like to think that before last night, Jean Claude would have been a lot more aware of their presence. But after all that's happened and that the fact that the scarecross got so close to Cecilia.
He's he's kind of he's ready to move.
Oh, I will say the will it does notice the two of you checking across.
And she just goes.
Trying to sneak by me I noticed happens a lot.
You can only say goodbye.
She has their armors clank as they shift to look at them.
She at least just kind of sits up straight. She seems she's a bit more calm now she's in the throes of conversation with Willa.
Willa just goes.
All right, well, I guess now is the time for a heartfelt goodbye.
She's just going to be a little bit more string towards the both of you.
It was really good to meet both of you.
Even if it was kind of brief.
At least not towards you, Cecilia acknowledging you.
You're a fine woman.
And Willa goes, I was in actually serious about you giving the heartfelt goodbye to me and should be me really.
But I'll take it.
Jean Claude will give a respectful.
Kurt bow.
And will say.
Thank you for your time.
And patience, he says to Elise.
Thank you.
And Willa.
Hands up and walks over to you.
Jean Claude.
And just.
Well, she's going to get you both in this very, very tight hug.
For just a brief moment.
She gets you both in there.
Before she lets you go from the bear hug.
Just.
You guys are leaving.
Where are you guys?
Where are you guys heading?
Well, that's what the adventurous do.
He tries to cut up Cecilia.
Well, you guys still have a plan.
We shall see.
Where the road takes us.
He looks at Cecilia and gives us a blow nod.
Hopefully all the way to the Empire, at least.
Oh.
The two of them kind of look at each other and Elise just goes.
All right.
It's a the town's farther away, but avoid a town called Wrexen right now.
Why is that?
This goes.
And just goes.
Arcane magic is tends to be.
There is a very good reason why Katvarim is a divine based society.
Does one of the few bastions of Arcane magic Wrexen says apparently the Archmage.
In charge of that place.
His automatons have gone awry.
And apparently one of his parade automatons harmed.
Says harm day an audience member.
Just goes, oh, we've just been given the warning.
A travel warning to go to Wrexen.
Because the Archmage is confident that he needs to take a look.
Oh, take a once over at his magical array.
That does sound concerning.
Well, thanks for letting us know.
Just clear.
Well, it goes towns far away.
Like I would say, like almost a week out if you're traveling at a good pace.
So who knows?
Maybe everything will be resolved by then.
The crown's not going to do anything, though.
So it's going to have to really put stock in the local law enforcement.
She's a good boy.
Well, I'm going to know.
Are you still holding a fierce under your arm?
No, you're not.
No, not in the morning.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Go ahead.
I guess we'll either see if it's developed or avoid it.
Let's get that we have enough time to plan.
Yeah.
Yes.
If you're heading to the Salarian Empire, then well, you just got supply stops ahead of you.
There's not much to do.
Hey, go wild.
Be pretty calm, maybe calmer than it has been.
That might be asking for a lot.
No, that would be nice.
That would be nice.
And here.
I brought this for you and you are going to take it and you're not going to talk back to me.
And she she hands you this small like little bag.
Snapsack.
You take it.
She handed to.
Oh, she just holds it out for anyone.
Cecilia is the items gal.
So Sean Claude will respectfully let Cecilia hold it.
Every time this happens, they like pause probably a little too long.
And then he kind of like gestures his hand and then she just goes, be brave.
She opens up it up.
You see that it's an assortment of badges.
Seemingly all from you remember some of these, these are some of these are from all of these are from like a yim sash.
Oh, he wanted to give that to you.
Oh, are these his ones?
Doesn't need them anymore.
But they are.
What what did I say about talking back to me?
But heavy side eye to Cecilia.
But these were really special to him.
They are.
Maybe he got something better to replace them.
Um,
Helen we say thank you.
Um,
he's.
He's a really nice kid.
When you when you make an impact on someone like that.
Or anyone.
And if you're going to do this often, then this is going to be a reoccurring thing.
Just.
But in the middle of making your in the middle of making your own legacy, people want will want to impart very important parts of themselves onto you.
After all, the biggest honor is being is being remembered, right?
Do the kid an honor.
You've already done one for me.
Celia Eidolin and John Claude Bushra.
Well, I hope we get the chance to come back through here soon.
Well, probably not soon.
Probably like a few months from now, but.
We'll definitely stop.
Maybe you guys will be so much more buffer, stronger, battle scarred.
I'm excited to see it.
Claude rolls his shoulders back a little.
He's kind of looks at you and just goes, come back in a few months.
Yes, ma'am.
Um,
you're pretty good if if my sister comes through.
And stops and it's not too much trouble.
Um, I say kind of more to Elise, since she's probably the one most likely to run into her.
Could you just tell her that we're doing fine, that I'm doing fine?
I'll take that message for you.
Thank you.
All right, well,
that's the two of you look like you're off in a hurry.
I'll leave you off for one more thing, and this is from me.
Nothing to remember me by.
I can tell you're always going to I can tell you're always going to remember me, so I'm not going to bother with any anything sentimental or anything like that.
Yeah.
This is for you.
To Cecilia specifically.
Holds out this like,
holds out like this little like thing covered in a rag, and as you uncover it, it is a,
it is a pendant shaped like with the depiction of a depiction of a moon.
Go ahead and give me a history or culture check.
I think history is the one I am good at profiting in.
Does it have to do with gods or holy symbols?
It does not.
Whoa.
I'm just going to click the history button then.
22.
Yay.
So in your study of like general like, you know, history and things. There is this large druidic circle in Silivren called the Elenion.
One of the largest ones and in fact the Archdruid from that circle is queen of that kingdom.
Not my mom, Aelius' mom.
And this depiction of the moon and everything is their very own like insignia.
I left that life behind me a little bit ago, but I figured it should go with you. See some air travel places.
And maybe you want to Silivren.
Yeah, we'll give it away.
Shouldn't have done that. And sarcasm isn't handled too well with you, I feel.
Oh, um.
Sorry, she's already saying even though she didn't do anything.
I'll take any apology that comes my way.
Thank you. That's really, that's really nice.
Maybe if you see one of my friends flash that maybe they'll give you special treatment.
Well, maybe if we go through Silivren.
Maybe.
Or, or outside of it too.
Don't know why you would even want to go to the stinky Salarian Empire.
But if that's where your feet take you, then I can't judge.
Well, we have to go through, either through Silivren on the way or through the desert.
Though I think the other way is more direct than Silivren.
Well, hey, that's a long way.
But I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Seems like the two of you got some of the most important things that anyone in this world needs.
Not talent, not education, none of that. It's persistence.
He looks at Jean-Claude.
He gives her a small smile and then nods to Willa and says thank you very much.
You're welcome very much.
And Elise, you are my rematch.
I win.
We shall see.
Be well. Good luck to you on your journeys.
Best of luck to you as well.
And then he'll stand aside and indicate for Cecilia to walk ahead of him.
Thank you. She's just holding it up again.
Says, by the by, when you, if you do cross, if you do cross Vrexen and a chance to speak with Archmage notes, Archmage Brandrick never comes up.
Says you might be, you might be bedazzled by the chance to speak with someone like that, but I would really recommend against it.
Oh, why is that?
She makes the face like when they talk about Excalibur and Soul Eater. I'm just kidding. She just goes, it's just very exhausting.
That's all.
Noted.
And you feel a little rustle in your bag of holding at that mention of that name, but no sound, no nothing.
She kind of like even in front of them with that thing, she just kind of like peeks in to the back.
Heavy side eye from Jean Claude.
Oh, she drops it.
And that's notes we shall be leaving. Thank you so much.
We be well. And he's that this one he's kind of gently ushering Cecilia out the door.
Oh, by the way, you get 50 gold for the quest. There we go.
I just add that later. But yeah, some point you get money, money, money, money.
Rich money.
And the two of you leave.
We head out. Yes, this is Celia's like, she goes.
I think Willow wanted it really felt like she wanted to talk to you more or was hoping you'd talk to her more.
Jean Claude looks very confused. But like since last night, she was me to talk to him.
I mean, I don't know that. I just I just felt like she kept waiting for you to do something.
Did you do what?
I mean, I don't know. I I'm probably wrong. Never mind.
Um, oh, shit. What did I fuck up this time?
I don't know. I don't think you I don't think you messed anything up.
I did, though. What did I do? Did I sell to?
No, I think you were very respectful. I just.
I mean, I don't know. I don't know how that stuff works.
So I should be a douchebag.
No, no.
I don't I don't know. I just.
I am probably I'm wrong.
Just never, never mind.
The wagon is pulled out in front of the both of you.
He just he just inhales and like pinches, you know, the bridge of his nose and he's like.
No, Cecilia, I have probably fucked up once more.
I don't know how. I don't know why.
But when I return, hopefully I will have my shit together.
It's not like she wanted to get to know you a little bit better.
That's all.
I wish I could. But alas, we have things to do.
I mean, his eyes flashed to where the moonshines are.
And I would like to keep.
The least amount of innocent lives involved is possible.
You're not.
Yes, it's a bit hard to find lemur at this age.
But it is all right. It is what our books are for.
Would you want me to start reading the.
That one again, really fucking good, but a little too spicy for me.
Like, I'm an old dude. It's a dude man.
Old bro. Like, I don't know.
We could try one of the other ones. Yeah, like something more like just like, you know, like all about the romance.
I don't really want to read about like the sexy stuff.
It's not that's not too much as this conversation goes on.
The two of you have on your wagon, leaving.
Leaving Lundy's acre.
You can get in now. No, no, no, I'll do it later.
They fade off into the distance talking about their romance novels.
As the two of you leave, a voice does cut in.
Afeas.
Bring me.
To this archmage.
Why?
I don't know why, but.
The name reminds me.
Of something. And this is the most like different voice, different like everything.
Love.
Hate.
Please.
And you guys are surprised this is this is afeas like speaking. You see it.
We are on borrowed time, if yes.
But.
If you can justify to me.
How this archmage might be beneficial in us knowing in our journey to return the moonshine.
He makes robots or something. Maybe he can make you a body.
That is not why.
And I cannot give you a compelling reason.
It is purely for me.
If you do it, I will be.
Grateful.
Is it done now?
Map.
Frex in very far.
You know, travel a good distance across.
But in the path we are going.
Yes.
It's on the road. It's on the road.
She does. If they hadn't told us about that, we would have gone through there anyways. It's faster.
All right. That's our reason.
Thank you, minions.
Good night, if yes.
And Cecilia.
But whatever.
It's really early.
She looks tired. Good night.
I wanted to show you that book.
It's this like romance about this girl and you go to sleep. Let me read it.
She like.
She was with the surgeon and then.
And then she has his kid.
But he doesn't know.
This sounds like a really awesome.
No, threw herself down the stairs.
Just to see the doctor.
There's something this book says really, really, really bad and passing out pass.
Really.
I like it.
Solid out best for me.
I like it when the kid.
And on that note, he's going to let Cecilia go to bed so he can take over driving.
And as you fall asleep and as you drive off into the wake of the morning, that is where we're going to end today's session.
Oh my God.
Jean Claude is not into this book.
I wonder why.
For our viewers, if you want context.
Not right now.
We ain't touching that right now.
But just know.
Another day, another day, another time.
Just know.
Just know it was really funny to us.
And we had a great time.
Thanks for tuning in, team.
Oh gosh.
This was supposed to be the nice session.
I mean, it was.
It was in some ways.
And now we can.
What's wrong?
What's going to happen?
Baldur's Gate.
And with that.
All right, everyone.
One more time.
Next week, we don't have a show.
We're taking that week off.
But October 1st, spooky month, we'll be back and we'll be back with a little bit of a five day, a five day time skip.
And I think that's why that I said that the strife and long rest doesn't even really matter.
The strife go back, go away on long rest too.
We'll have to look at the eyes.
And I still got my nine points, baby.
India, Marie, Paul, Exited the stream, and she still has my cursor.
So we're just going all night, guys.
She's a fay child.
Anyways, is your mouse unplugged?
It is definitely.
It is certainly plugged in and I can still hover over things.
It's just the mouse cursor is not showing up.
I can still click on things, but I have to like search.
I have to play hokey pokey.
That isn't like play the hokey pokey.
That made no sense.
Back with the jump scares for Tim.
I don't.
I don't get jump scared.
We'll see you in October.
Oh, gosh, Jenny.
You just laughed.
I expected you to do something when you made that face.
You scared me.
I know.
It's just like the most bold face lie you could have made.
I don't get scared.
All right.
Good night.
All right, everyone.
Thank you so much for watching.
Bye.
See you later.
October.
October first.
All right.
Give me one second here.
I need to.
Okay, my mouse is.
Oh, we can't end the stream over there.
No, no, I can see it.
I'm on the.
Okay, I'm in the scene.
The menace.
So I'm going to go down.
Okay, I can click on it.
Okay, everyone.
Bye.
