Hello everyone and welcome to Songwoven.
Ira Brin Dawnbreak.
I am your narrator, Tim Don Tran.
And of course, I am joined here with both two, two of them.
Of my most wonderful cohorts.
And they will introduce themselves.
Right?
Meow.
I'm Jenny.
I play Valora.
What's up?
And speaking of meow, I have a cute little cat dice box that Jenny gave me.
Yeah.
It's a little dice tray.
Oh my god, so cute.
So, and.
Meow.
I'm Emma.
I play, I play, what's my character's name?
Lucia.
Oh god.
Uh oh.
Emma.
It's good.
I'm good.
I flex my character.
Okay.
Just to make sure we're lucid, what's your social security?
No, no, no, no.
Yes, new background.
New background.
New friends?
Question mark.
Yep, and so it's just us two and nothing else out of the ordinary.
Who the fuck is that?
Oh, it's just Emma.
Wait, who the fuck is that?
It's that person below her on my screen, but to the left, to the right of her, I know my
directions, on the big screen.
Who is?
Jenny?
Oh yeah, I am to the right technically.
But who are you?
Wait, am I on stream?
I thought I was just in the car.
No, you are.
You're on stream.
You did on stream the whole time.
I didn't think I was going to be on the stream.
I don't even have a character.
I'm going to have to make one real quick.
Just so everyone knows, when we play Songwulven, we have other people in the call with their
cameras on staring at us.
Just fucking staring blankly at us.
It helps me feel like I have an audience.
Yeah, I thought I was just here in the chat, but like chat VIP.
Chat VIP!
You get to watch.
If you guys, in the chat, if you donate 30 gifted subs, you too can be in the call.
Albert, you raker of skank.
Introduce yourself now.
Hi guys, I am Albert.
You might recall I was here last week when we played a little bit of Baldur's Gate, but
I also was here on the channel back during Black Cords Gallery where I played Zachariah,
the lovable skank.
I was here, too.
So I am just here visiting, I guess.
I have a little extended stay here on Songwulven.
It's nice to see you all.
Good luck having Albert.
We're so happy to have him.
Jenny, you've hidden the key, right?
He's in the room.
He's in the room for a while.
Oh yeah, no, no, I made sure he couldn't.
There's no way he can get out.
Don't worry.
Oh yeah.
There's a lot of duct tape.
It's OK.
I have a heater in here.
I'm fine.
I also have a heater.
I think we have the same heater, actually.
Really?
Wait.
Oh my gosh, Twinny!
Is it Alaska?
It's actually, no, it is a hold on.
OK, it's Alaska.
It is Alaska.
Oh, OK.
I don't know the exact thing, but it's the same brand.
No, that actually looks like the heater I have in my room.
Oh my god, we're all connected.
We're all connected.
Oh my god, the wind's easy.
Did you get yours from Costco?
I have no idea where it came from.
Me neither.
I think it probably came from Target.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to Hotel Songwoven.
You can check in.
You can never leave.
What a lovely place.
Snowstorm was not too bad, Jagmeier, at least for me.
Mine was, yeah, mine was the best.
We did have, what's it called, the water treatment place did break, and so we couldn't use the
water for a couple days, but we were stocked up on water bottles and stuff already, so
we were fine.
Ours was OK, it was fluffy.
We had very light snow.
Here's how unbothered it was.
I came out and saw two dogs playing in the snow, and then an ice chunk fell on my head.
Yeah, that's bad.
You got concussed.
That wasn't good.
It was kind of awesome.
I forgot most of the experience of the ice chunk falling on my head.
But we're good, we're here.
We got some snow last week.
It snowed all day, and now it's almost gone, which is unusual, because you'd think I'd
get the most snow being in North Idaho, but true.
Nope, J. Armand has the most snow, I think, being in a Kansas City blizzard.
JT got the blizzard.
I think it's single digits over where JT is right now, he told me earlier.
And there's a fucking full-on foot of snow.
Showtime in place warning most of the week.
Keep safe.
Last year my workplace flooded from negative temperatures, so that was fun.
Yeah, I hope everyone's being safe wherever you are, wherever you may be.
And we hope that you're listening to Songwulven.
And that you're listening to Songwulven?
I hope you're alive, mostly.
I hope you're alive and snowed in.
Well then, welcome to Songwulven.
We hope you're welcome to Songwulven.
What was my jazz opening?
I forgot.
I written it down.
Your jazz opening?
Yeah, yeah, it was a long time ago.
Safe in Songwulven.
Yeah, but please be safe.
And please be safe for all of our friends and family in California as well.
Yeah, our LA friends.
I check in on you all the time.
It scares me.
And we have something else to do now.
A knife?
I think the girl just showed that on stream.
Let me take this out of stream.
Twitch, YouTube, that wasn't what it was.
That wasn't what you think it was.
We have a little upcoming segment, a little late addition to our gift opening thing, where
Emma Romasko sent everyone here in the chat, everyone here currently in the call, a gift.
Every single person.
Jazz box.
Well, it's bigger than mine.
If you think it's strange we're emphasizing that, it's not.
Okay.
Not at all.
I'm not going to show our addresses.
I'm not going to dox us.
Don't show your addresses.
Let's go.
We don't need to be doxed.
It's the new year's already started and it's already enough.
No doxing.
I sent my resume.
Pretty handwriting too.
It's a fucking knife.
What is that?
I don't know.
Are we all opening?
Are we doing it?
Yeah.
I say do what you guys do it.
Do it.
Adoption certificate.
You got adopted?
I got adopted.
Emma, really?
I didn't know.
Open the fucking precious.
I got adopted.
Oh me too.
Everyone goes congrats.
No.
Emma.
Oh my gosh.
It's a little, it's a little, wait, that almost boiled to me.
Cause we got the same, you said they're all related, right?
They're all, yes, yes, yes.
Except for Albert.
I got a little crystal.
Oh yeah, Emma's really into those.
Oh my gosh.
Little friends.
Little dragon.
I have a desk at work now.
So I've got to put, I've got, I'm the only one who hasn't decorated my desk.
Oh my gosh.
I love how bendy, like you can totally, yeah, you just, it can shoulder sit because it's
so bendy.
It's supposed to be your little friend.
And then I also have one and hold on.
JT got one too.
She has a flower on her tail cause her name is pedo.
Aw.
They're so cute.
Thank you Emma.
Albert's trying to show off what he got from Emma.
Oh, what did you get?
She got me like a little, like, I don't know, like a bracelet of beads.
It's close to a dragon.
Oh my gosh.
I feel like we should all be a bit more critical about what Emma gave to Albert for some reason.
I did.
Yes they are.
Wait, Emma, you got me a whole, is this a dice set?
No.
Oh my God.
I guess I did.
Emma, you forgot the dice.
Oh no.
I think you gave me the wrong one.
It's okay.
Emma, isn't this about the time you told me that you sent someone a gift, but you took
out the gift for yourself?
Yeah, that's what I do.
Isn't that what you said to me?
He's got a lot of stuff in there though.
Got more, another little bead.
Yeah, I just, I just thought.
This is kind of cool.
Oh, this must be the dragon, but it's still in the egg.
It hasn't hatched yet.
Oh my gosh.
It's so cute.
It's purple.
No, this doesn't have to be phantom.
Phantom but purple.
You really packed it, Emma.
Geez.
I guess I really packed it with packing nuts, peanuts.
Emma, you shouldn't have.
This is so cool.
This is great.
No, no, look at her.
No, heavens, heavens, heavens, put her away.
I love her.
She needs to go.
She's so cute.
Don't put it closer.
Fucking beast.
Okay, it's gone.
Oh my God.
That's her.
It's safe to me.
You're dead.
Come back to me.
You can't even go...
Those were beads.
Oh my God.
Timmy, you know, hiding your camera doesn't hide your screen, you know that, right?
Like...
All it means is that she can't see you.
Stop it.
Emma, you shouldn't have.
That was great.
I love her.
So next year, Albert, we'll also be getting a giveaway because it'll be two weeks.
Because he'll be tuning on at the right time
Someone explain the beats. I this is all Albert's doing. You know, it's important to give gifts to yourself guys there
the beads of
specifically hot hot
Voodoo is one that can center someone's like inner sort of energy and
If there's anything there's the crystals the crystal the energies I think
Moscow is just very concerned about
About the censor and as of our dear friend Albert
Yes with the doll a cursed doll
Continue with
Yes, you get adoption papers with your little dragon, I think it's a small business
Oh, they're for the dragon. Yes
They're not for you to adopt your dragon
I can't have fun no more. I've responsibilities now
I turned into see Lucia get broken. Not me. I would not come on song woman in the first
So I'm reading emma's note and
Let me just read this one quote

Wow hate hate hate and it's just all it's just it just repeats with hate
Cuz cuz that's cuz that's what I write about to my friends
You've been saying I've been able to hear her
It's like 2 a.m.. For Kev he said he was not coming, but he is here
I threatened to kidnap
Yeah in JT's letter
Threatened to kidnap him and yep forced me to keep working
Cuz cuz Emma is a is a bona fide capitalist she loves that stuff
We're threats if you misbehave
The dragon got the eye on you you get munched you get crunched
I love how it just like folds around your hand and stuff though
It's like little crystal like it's actually perching and you're like
Just a little buddy and next year Albert will get one it's really cute
You'll get a little I love it. Oh, it's going on my work desk
Mm-hmm, I like how movable they are they're cool. Yeah, they like go like around my hand and
It makes me think of you know those little like like noodle like little weasel noodles that you do this and it like goes
They're very good for fidgety and good for sitting on your desks like little friends
I am gonna be messing with it the rest of the stream though because I've already been messing with but to me
He got me a birthday gift of a necklace. It's kind of based on the indicated. Yes. I said it's a birthday gift
It's my birthday gift. It's right. What was your birthday? It was not yet. It's not yet
I'm just saying that he can't send me something else for my birthday. Oh
I see worms on a string. Oh god worms on a string

Oh, thank you so much drag my ever given subs to all the sweet sound of plastic
I'm gonna find your body
Drag wires and it's held those years. Well, well a happy new year to all of our friends and listeners on that note
Should we probably get into?
Recap. Oh, yeah
We have something else. That's right
Something else
There was a lot that happened last time I didn't get all in the recap because as I was realizing I was like wait
There were actually multiple things. I wanted to put in a little thing about how you guys responsibly
Investigated a catapult, but
I didn't get it. I thought it was her but then I was I don't remember for sure
Subvision to this guy like attacking and then
She told the Laura about hey, I have visions and stuff
and
The Laura was like, oh my god
I'm like, oh my god
And stuff and the Laura's like, okay that makes actually makes some things make sense
Because you're a fucking weirdo
Or did she tell her that she told her that last time but I think I forgot to put it in the previous recap
either way last time, um
but
so she told the Laura about it and
then she had this vision and
Was unsettled by it, but then we all raced back to class
We raced back to class and oh no, no, no, wait. No, wait. No, wait. That was later. Oh my gosh
I'm so oh, okay. It's been weeks
Okay, Marcellus confessed to velour that he doesn't want to be a knight. Oh, that's right
Wait, what is it called? He unlocked his C support? Is that what we said it was?
It's a C support. Yep, velour did it. And the professor was worried about
About him wanting to be in the Pegasus class because he's more of a strength guy not a speech
He's more of a strength guy not a speed guy and his family's history
It's different and so he asked velour to keep an eye on him and velour's like he's gonna be fine. Oh my gosh
But yeah, Tamsin and Lucia played with a catapult for a bit while Quincy accused them of not being responsible
While they were so responsible accused
Accusations were flung at them
Quincy made an observation
Tamsin implied to Lucia that Lucia telling velour about her visions might have put velour in danger
They just had like a cloud over her and that worried Lucia
but we finished our class and everything we raced back to class and
And then we
Separated off so that Lucia could get her tutoring with Archibald who was kind of like hey, you know
Do you think there's a reason the ministry didn't want you to learn to read common? Do you think do you think there's like anything?
Do you think there's like anything?
A reason maybe just think about it. Okay
and she got some nice stencils and stuff and she learned to read some words and it was great and
Velour went to go see her dad in the infirmary who was still recovering from the Todd incident, right and
She just called him stupid basically and
He was like eventually like yeah, you're right. She's like, okay
But when she left to go see Brimstone instead
We saw out a character that he is being faced with an ultimatum
to fix his behavior or get a divorce and
So
immediate celebration yep, I'm a velour that knows so bad
And then talked to Brimstone for a bit about how the fight started
which was that he had asked Todd to kind of go easy on Velour to give her a break, you know and
Pissed him off some somehow because it's Todd and
Then
Oh, well, I guess it's a technically happened before it but in my brain
I picture it happening afterwards because we kind of did our scene separately
but
Lucia got a mysterious letter from
LMM Lin-Manuel Miranda that warned that Velour was in trouble and to meet this person with the purple hat at the specific
location and
so Lucia got an upperclassman in our house to read the note to her and
Then they named Yara and they ventured off to go find
LMM who turns out to be Lucio Marzella the retainer of the black boar's house
Who wants to put a stop to the saga Dondarius fan club so it doesn't ruin once and for all
Velour and Sagas date that's probably coming up this weekend
Which by the way to me never thinking about we're like if we time our sessions, right?
We might be able to get that session to line up with Valentine's Day. Shut the fuck up. That's so cute
But we gotta see we got to see that's perfect
We got to get our timing right. But yeah
So they agreed Lucia agreed to infiltrate to the drama club to get a disguise to help
Preserve the date and then they parted ways but then Velour and Lucia I believe have run into each other again at the same
Witnessing the same scene which is oh, I totally forgot Velour met Todd sister through yes
Who's just arrived at school and she's in our year
Yeah, and she was apologetic and nice being you know, like you know a little bit like
Like not really formal. I guess is what I'm thinking of. She wasn't very like noble formal
But she's gonna be in our year and she apologized for her brother and
so, yeah, we anyways Lucy and I made up and
We see this is like there's a scene going on and
It's that Todd was hanging from the flagpole not by his neck
Not by his neck. We were like wow war school got dark really really fast
He's beaten up and hung by
His waist to the flagpole and that's where we left off
Yep, that's not gonna
Already fighting in the chair
Continuously implicates me I was rolled up for the recap. So I did not
read any of these messages if
I'm with physical violence. It was fun. It's funny though. It's
Band it's funny. We're gonna be banned
Okay, so
Okay, so thank you, hmm, veloura
It's gonna be so hard not to fidget with that
I lost my point earlier is that I've been messing with the necklace because it flips between Sun and Moon. Oh
Romantical
Okay, I'm being canceled in the stream chat
I got to ignore it. That's what they all do after all. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta take I gotta take I gotta take a page for my
Don't don't do a YouTube apology don't do it you too. I'm sorry that you guys felt like what I said was wrong
I'm sorry guys are hard that you perceive
Happened even if I did not intend it
Wait, but you do it as you do that as do re me
Okay, all right
So
I
Lora Lucia
The
The image the image above
As it becomes as it becomes apparent to you
a shocking a
Shocking image of a fallen
Of a fallen a on mark novel one believed to be one of the strongest in the entire in the entire kingdom
with hushed whispers and and
and in theories and a disparate information being passed around is
Is exchanged around you as you yourself?
you you yourself are
Your mind is running with this imaged place before you
but before you know it chaos begins to dig its fingers into the crowd as
as people are gently
gently gently ushered away by guards and Jareth the vice-chancellor goes someone someone gets him down now, um
Can I
It's it's a lot higher the 30 feet
Uh
Should should we go get him because we're the retainer and later we his house. Yeah, we should probably
Mm-hmm
So they kind of pushed to the forward I assume
Yeah, if people are still crowding she's like she's like you don't need to be here. Come on. You can go
Leaders got it handled. Thanks everyone
Yep, you can leave it's just your voice against chaos
You got here before everybody really got here and now people are really here
Do I have any spells do I have thought I don't think I have the liturgy. I don't think I did
You make as you kind of like push your way to the front
Jareth
looks towards you and
just goes I
Appreciate I appreciate the want to help but please leave this to us. Please leave this to staff
All right
Hmm and
He did
He just
He just turns like immediately like has to disengage from from you all and
Make the way you see a bunch of the soldiers are like holding on to the rope
Because it's a long rope tied to the tied to the base as well
and
Someone people are holding on to a different points and you see that they're they're figuring out a system
To get him down probably easier for you to get phantom, but
Hmm here when he gets low enough I can teleport him down so he doesn't drop
Down so he doesn't drop um
Jareth looks at Jareth looks at you Mickey make a persuasion check, okay?
That 20 of the first I don't feel like the DC was that high but okay, she's really convincing
I
Can teleport him down once he gets about like 30 or so feet
Give a warning when you're about to do it, okay?
The order is a past as a longer sort of perimeter
is
Is created a lot of a large ring of students?
Amass a massing but the space between the pole and then miss widened
He's slowly lowered to a point where you feel confident that you can get him down
All right, I'm gonna do it now hold and then
Everyone watches as his forms shifts
And he is
Appears on the ground the rope slowly
slowly falling above him
You see the the Iribon guards like
Begin to begin to surround him as a protocol is put into place. You see that there are bruises
all
about
All about his face and like upper area
Just like he's been pummeled
Uh
Can Lucia try to squeeze to the front?
Hi, I'm sorry I I can I can heal him and and we can take him back to his room
Hmm
Jareth
Come like regards. He gives you it gives the others a nod
It just goes
Heal him, but we have to speak with him. Oh
Yeah, sure absolutely, okay, um and she'll lean down is he conscious or is he unconscious unconscious
Okay, um, I
Think much you know how in college you're taught to like people put people on their side
Like I think she'll roll him gently on to his side and using a cure wounds
She'll start to she'll reach into her pocket where she has a little bit of salve
Much like in the jam jars she carries, but it's a completely obvious on jam
But much like the jars that she'd hear little mason jars. She'll wrap the
The salve on her hands and gently start to place it on his bruised face as she cast cure wounds
The bruise
Begins to lighten in color and then they begin to
fall in line with the rest of his natural skin as
The wounds are healed
His
There comes a moment when you feel a breath really began to build inside of him
His eyes
fly open and
You see his hand shoots out immediately
Towards one of the towards just like almost you went almost towards you
But he grabs one of the guards by the by the neck
Can I fully using my body weight elbow him in the stomach to so that he lets go?
Yes
Go ahead and make an unarmed strike it's just gonna be strength with your proficiency
Which is nothing
And he's prone so it's an advantage
Okay
Hold on hold on my world 20 log to be out hold on I'm coming
This is important I need to stop killing people
Okay, so you said strength plus my proficiency yes, right my strength is nothing my proficiency is
to
So in a dream to win a dream, baby
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's what the fuck is that it's a five advantage advantage
She's trying to stop him, but she is so fucking weak and small compared to him that she just flops on
The thing is is like you're just you just put you like smacking on his hand
The flounder the floundering the the attempt the attempt was enough
Cuz cuz you would feel whatever Chihuahua jumped on you
You didn't physically move him, but you do feel the strain of his arm loosen
Hey, hey, and she's gonna um
Because that reaction she assumes was in regards to what it before he passed out, so he's still in fighter flight mode
She's gonna
Try to gently tap his cheek so that his eyes are looking at hers, and she's gonna go hey
You're fine. It's okay
Breathing in and out he looks at you for a
While before Jared goes cat wallota
What happened
Todd with
Gentility you
You
Todd with Gentility you maybe didn't know he had he puts a hand on your shoulder no
no application of force, but a
Suggestion asking for basically for you to move
Yep, a very polite society
I she's in she's in shock. I think and she'll turn over to the geriatric. I think he hit his head really really hard
He gets up he just goes
Evan sent home
I'm going
And he turns
Um it
Placed a hand on himself
healing magic tending to himself as
He just kind of like walks away. That's limping
Jareth begins to follow
and
As as he does I'll go ahead I do think she just goes who was it?
She'll tell you
Threw
No answer to that one the silence speaks
There's still people looking she goes
Well, that's that guys like
Shoe motion shows over so she starts chewing people just like your dad and
People begin to disperse Jareth follows Todd as Todd is just like
Just dead sadly just making his way towards the exit
The crowd disperses you can see that whatever happened like we're talks are
The system also
Unnude the energy whatever gossip is going about is renewed
And the two of you are with each other you're giving each other a little bit of a
And the two of you are with each other. You're given thanks by a few guards. Lucia, please take an inspiration point for me.
Oh, wow. Why?
And Velora.
And me?
And you, yeah.
I take it. I don't know why, but I'll take it.
I know why.
As Irobin returns to... As Irobin returns to Hushed Whispers, you guys are eventually left on your own. Except for the prying eyes of some people who want to approach you, namely Tamsin and Quincy.
Eventually seeing you by yourself, both walk up to you, Tamsin goes, what happened?
We didn't see, really.
Someone's come on the first day.
Yeah.
Fucking detective music.
Is it the detective music?
No, it's just Irobin music.
It's the detective music.
This is like, there's a mystery afoot.
Hmm.
I've got many a mystery in Irobin.
I can see Tamsin and Quincy being like a fun detective solving duo.
Quincy, partners?
You're my best one here.
Oh, okay, the music picked up.
We have new music, by the way, guys.
Tamsin is like, we're just going to come down to see the new, the late arrivals and solve this happening.
Yeah, I mean, my guess is it was Throod. I ran into her.
Was that a new student?
Throod Catvalader.
None of those.
And Quincy just goes, I have some empathy for her.
And it's hard to blame her for what she did, exactly.
But is, is sending him home really the answer?
I mean, like, any other student could be expelled for what he's done.
But Brim, I talked to Brim and I mean, it's not like there's anything we can do about it.
But that's true.
He said that, he said that, like, he doesn't necessarily want him to stay home either.
That he thinks he has a pretty hard time when he goes back.
A hard time? How are you supposed to get better?
Well, how can you... Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter, right? It's been handled.
I'm afraid it's not going to be much better.
Yeah, like, it's not going to get better from him going back, but like, is it really going to get better from him staying here either? You know?
Maybe, I don't know. I don't know.
Doesn't matter how powerful you are or what your make is.
Nobility or whatever.
People are always trying to find a way to send you away if you prove to be a headache.
I don't know, I just... He was...
Back there, I mean...
I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Anyway...
To class?
Tomorrow?
Right! Right, right. Tomorrow. Class tomorrow.
Mm-hmm.
Do the two of you have any plans?
Not really.
Uh, uh, uh, and then she remembers the drama club.
Um, I might check out a club, but other than that, no.
Oh, which one?
Um...
You can see in her face that she's trying to make up some kind of story.
Stop! Well, funny you...
Funny you bring up the story, actually. I'm the drama club.
Oh? I didn't know you had an interest in that.
You have the mouth for it.
She puts her hands to her like clasps her pearls almost.
Yes, I do have the mouth for it. Thank you, Garvey.
It was a compliment.
You know, I don't think you'd be so bad at it yourself, Quincy.
Garvey should join with me.
That's the best idea, you know what?
And she's gonna loop in her arm with Garvey's, and then it looks cute on the outside, but she's fucking locking him in.
It would be perfect if you joined the drama club with me, Garvey. We can really bond.
I really do not like the direction this conversation went without an input.
I think it would be great. This would be so good to get you more comfortable with public speaking. Come on, Garvey!
Look at how excited she is about it.
We're gonna have so much fun as she's dragging him.
Garvey's actually getting pulled because Lucia's RP strength is crazy.
Her RP strength... Her roll strength is bad. Her RP strength, though, in her hand.
And as she's pulling Garvey away, she goes, you have to help me.
You see the silent regard, and then Quincy just looks to the other two and just goes,
If I'm not back in two hours, find my body.
Noted.
That's so dramatic. He's perfect.
That's exactly what I was thinking, though.
Timson goes, yeah, you know, he actually has a really good way of speaking. He has a wonderful kind of shape to him.
Like, gosh, I would really... Quincy, I really want to look like you.
This is weird, right?
I mean, he has a nice enough figure, I guess.
On that note, let's now shove in Garvey off.
We'll see you guys later at dinner or something, right?
But do you want to see the later rivals with us real quick before you go?
Sure, maybe.
She swings Garvey back.
He's just been puppeteered.
He's just surviving.
He's got a dancer's body.
But the reason why Tamson said that, though, was because of the worm thing, right?
She's like, hmm.
She's just saying it.
You're putting the worm stuff in there.
You're putting the worms in her mouth?
Yeah.
All 4,500.
I have the note, but I guess it's constantly changing.
Or 45,000. Hey, that's what it was. 45,246 or something.
The fucking worms.
45,426 worms until she gains some, I think.
She just gets more passively.
She's probably more or less right now.
45,526, you said?
Yes.
426.
426. I'm just writing it down.
It might be important.
The number changes a lot. Depends if she's been stepping in.
It changes a lot.
She walks across fields.
No.
She's been in graveyards.
She's been in graveyards, too.
Why don't we all see the new arrivals?
You know, some people have been late to school.
We heard that the entire new Olive House people were showing up.
Oh. The Olive House?
Yeah, they're like foreign exchange students, basically, and they can go around between the different houses and stuff to learn.
Oh, cool. Yeah, we should let them feel welcome here.
Yeah, I heard it's pretty exclusive.
Some years they don't have new admissions at all, but we have, I think there's like three, but they're all late.
Only three people in the Olive House? That's so small.
Yeah, I'm guessing there were more before the War Within era and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Did they die?
Well, no, it's just like, you know, we're at war, so they can't send anyone here.
Right, right. That's right. Right. It would be dangerous to do that. Yeah, that makes more sense.
And also, like, just been like rumors going around and like all the dark corners of this place that some they're late because of some kind of incident.
Something happened?
Well, that's what we kind of want to go find out, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to tell us.
We should really make them feel welcome then. I mean, how scary.
You're going to stay at school at a new place in a new city with different people you don't know and something happens?
Quincy, Quincy goes, it seems quite opportunistic that the next thing on our agenda is much better than drama club.
So why don't we all. You're not getting out of that. You're not. Garfy, Garfy.
You're not. Yeah. Yes. Me and my one arm because you have broken off the circulation in my other one.
It will all make sense. She gently taps his uncirculated arms.
Um, clubs, you know, you know, bonding and, you know, clubs, bonding, you know, just, you know, you got to get to know your house members and you know, what?
Slow German. Bestie. She doesn't double take. Yeah. Yeah, we're besties. Yep.
That's exactly what we are. Because I thought maybe I would have been either of your besties.
You are actually. I'm joking. I'm just joking.
Oh, OK. Let's go greet the students. Let's go greet these poor people.
Not poor. I'm actually poor. I mean, like circumstances poor.
You know, sometimes they're like royalty and stuff. Oh, wow. OK. So I have to say like your highness and stuff.
Well, I mean, I don't know if they are. But not all the time. Sometimes they are.
I've heard I've heard that there have been before. OK. Well, just let me know. You guys know more than I do.
Just let me know what to say or who to say what or when where why.
I would love to meet a princess. I would want I would I would so love to meet a princess.
It would be really cool to meet a princess. Don't kill her.
Please don't kill her, Tamsin. I'm not. What's this talk about?
The problem with Tamsin is that everything she says, Lucia's got like the.
The picture is forty five thousand four hundred and twenty six worms saying unison.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, Quincy, we're just going to head into Haffan to check out the libraries and whatever like food they got.
Things like things like that. You guys have readers.
Sometimes depends. You see a dark cloud come over.
Well, actually, I've just started to learn common. I'm doing great. Oh, that's great.
Yeah. I have a really good teacher.
If you never if you ever need help with that, I could definitely help you, too.
I've I've tutored my little brother before.
And that's a brag, but I'm a little bit of a bookworm. Four hundred and twenty five of her little brothers.
I'm a little bit of a bookworm.
Well, what kind of books do you like? Yeah, you got to talk about that.
All kinds, all kinds, as the conversation actually gravitates towards.
I'm a big fan of like of like epic sort of like fan, like epic fantasy things that go beyond the sky.
I also kind of like, you know, horror things that detail sort of like the unknown.
Oh, that's a lot of fun. You're famous.
Um, well, I've I read a lot of I used to read like a lot of like kind of like adventure stories and stuff.
Hmm. Like that makes a lot of sense.
You think so? You're really adventurous.
But I did. You know, one of Phantom's first meals for me was a book that happened to have some info about Wyvern care that I snuck into my room when I snuck him into my room.
To try to keep my parents from sending him back.
And he ate the book out of my hands before I could get the information I needed.
He ate knowledge.
I think that's part of why he's so smart.
I think that's definitely it.
Um, I can see I can see I can see what Lucia meant about you.
What did she mean?
It's just like seeing you lead us and everything.
Like, I don't mean to gosh, I don't know if this sounds weird, but like, uh, you've been kind of like on top of it since I've met you.
And I had I was really nervous when I started school.
But seeing you just be you gave me a lot of confidence.
Well, thanks. I mean, like, we're only one day in.
So, you know, hopefully you can keep things up.
But, you know, if you need anything, you can let me know.
You know, I have an endless like hunger for knowledge. I don't know if you could help with that.
But you should talk to Dvorah, maybe.
Oh, maybe. Um, you know, I don't have to do this, but like with my magic, I can give you like a little boon.
It's a small, tiny little boon.
So, um, I figured I could just use it on someone today, but it's probably not going to come up.
Oh, what does it do?
Um, she holds out her hand towards you as you feel this kind of like positive like energy swell up in your chest for a moment.
It's like, it's like it's like the moment built up before you like building up your chest like the knots before a public speech and it dies down.
You have the blessing of the worm.
Oh, God damn it.
God fucking damn it. Um, you don't.
There's worms in your belly.
For Laura doesn't know what it does, but whenever you can, you can take a bonus action to restore 10 hem points if there is a corpse near you once that day.
Hmm. Love that. Love that. Love it. Fucking blessing of the goddamn worms.
Oh, you're not really fully able to tell what happened is like, thanks.
Um, did you, would you, when you felt that, did you hear anything?
Any whispers or anything? Like sometimes, sometimes people hear whispers.
No, does it have to to work?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I think it's, I think it should work because like your reflection has changed. Um, I feel like it's set, but, uh, anything weird at all.
No, are you using me as a guinea pig?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like, I'd probably say yes if you asked, I was just like.
That would be, that would be really mean. I genuinely forgot up until the moment it left my hands and I was like, oh no, that's right.
Well, uh, thanks. Still.
I'm so excited for your date.
Oh yeah, we fought really hard for that.
And I appreciate it.
I'm excited too.
While they're saying that, can Lucia be saying to Garvey quietly, if you want that date to succeed, you are going to join the drama club with me. You are going to infiltrate it and we are going to stop the Saga Dundarius fan club once and for all.
Take a breath.
Okay.
Deal.
The last thing I need right now is for you to pass out.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Is, was that your main concern?
Yes. Is there supposed to be another one? Do I have another concern?
Well, I do have another. Well, nah, that's not one that can be fixed. Anyway, so we have to stop the Saga Dundarius. Nope, we have to stop the Saga Dundarius fan club.
Okay.
Small price to pay for access to my arm.
Oh, right. I'll give you your arm back. It will, the feeling will restore five minutes, you know, the blood should eventually trickle back down to your fingers.
Well, great.
Hang in there, tiger.
Clap on the arm. He can't feel
he thinks for a moment.
And he just goes,
how do you feel about Todd?
What do you mean?
This is Emma clearing her glasses but Lucy is probably adjusting her handkerchief.
I think.
I don't know. I think.
I just feel like every time I see him I see a wounded animal.
And I don't think I mean yet again, he probably really hurt me if you heard me talking about this like him but I don't care because I'd say to his face anyway, but I don't think the way to help a wounded animal is to put them in captivity but what yet again, I don't know.
It's not my problem.
It seems to be a recurring thing.
What this place.
That things aren't my problem. No.
What's the recurring theme.
Let's talk about it later.
What's the theme.
He points forward to show the see the see that you're approaching a crowd.
Okay, well you need to tell me about the theme later.
I will.
Okay, because I feel like you're hounding me.
I will.
Last thing I need is a pink haired hound.
Oh, I didn't know biting my ankles.
How dare you I'm adorable.
He said ankles because you're a chihuahua.
I didn't. I didn't say anything against that. At least I'm like one of those cute dogs.
You are.
Yeah, yeah, like at least I'm like one of the cute dogs that like you want to you want to I don't know that you put in your backpack and you put in your bag and you bring them around with you and then they that kind of dog that you like to have once in a while.
I'm not discounting that I mean you pant the same.
She almost goes to smack him and she goes, not in front of the new kids.
Hello new students.
Perfect Albert.
As you approach the back of the crowd you watch as a rent.
You watch for a moment as the crowd continues as a cracker.
As a cracker to say it's not as big as the it's not as big as the the Todd one, but people have heard and you see the Vora here, all of you now together.
And people seem to be here just to witness the arrival of the slightly tardy new individuals.
What you didn't expect to see is a large retinue of soldiers.
A heavily guarded assortment of wagons.
And the arrival of this sort of like short like a halfling man with it a little bit in the hair.
Has like a sort of like finer clothes on a small like hat and a monocle that sort of like hangs off of his around his neck.
As he sort of like as I search to see Jareth who was here to welcome them.
Jareth and Padantos.
He comes up to them.
And you hear just like a slight a slight rise in his voice as he approaches them closely.
And I will say that throughout the chaos and Lucia you can read lips right? Yep.
You hear.
We've been attacked.
Immediately I said of Laura they were attacked that's what happened.
Why.
And we cut.
A few days before.
Now.
Every story starts somewhere at some point in time.
During some points in life from a certain point of perspective.
But one thing that we've learned possibly in real life but also in every every world that we've adored ourselves in is that history tends to rhyme.
And so where this story starts.
Few days ago.
Smoke.
Pitch black.
A angry ambiance surrounds you as the sounds of pleads and screams fill the environment around you. Your head a days even though a pitch black splays in front of you.
It's the vision ahead of you swims and spins all the same.
Angry blackened hands fill your throat choking.
The pounding of footsteps.
And you hear.
My friend.
Who are you.
Cool.
As you exhale the smoke leaving your lungs.
You find.
You find in your small contained space.
One was one was of breath.
As the voice calls out to you once more.
Come.
Over here.
You ride.
Christian why not you ride around.
I don't know if God said kind of fair.
Desperate hands espers a peers like the your surrounding as.
He has a- he once had a fine sort of like stature and fine stature to him
now covered in ash and soot part of his uniform, part of his uniform burnt.
He focuses on you entirely and can you please describe the person that he holds his hand out to?
And maybe class and subclass.
There is a young Air Genasi boy, maybe like 20-ish, kind of rounder features,
kind of light blue skin, these kind of like white speckles across his face
and going up to the tips of his ears, little freckles, these kind of big, kind of like blue-ish, purple-y kind of eyes
that are kind of like at the moment squinting, he's got kind of probably like ash all over him.
He has- his hair is this kind of like- it's kind of like curly mop, but it's kind of like wispy, almost like a cloud.
You imagine if it was clean it would be like these kind of like little wafting white clouds,
but right now it's covered in ash so it looks like a dark kind of storm cloud right now.
It's constantly moving a little bit, just a little bit, as if there were a little breeze.
And then kind of on the back of his head, kind of around, almost kind of framing it,
like as if it were like a little sun peeking up out over a cloud is a little straw hat
that is probably like kind of dented, the head part is probably like dented right now.
I guess at this point we'd be in our uniforms, right?
So yeah, so he has the typical Irebran uniform, but he has this very long,
kind of olive green tartan scarf with the little dove with the olive branch,
kind of like pinning it in place. It like, as he's trying to get up, it's like trapped under
something and he has to like pull and like a little bit of like the fabric kind of rips a little bit.
He kind of manages to kind of get some of the fabric, manages to lift up a little bit for
you to kind of pull it out, kind of wipes it off a little bit. He kind of winches a little bit as
he reaches a hand forward to kind of take hold of the individual for him, try and get up.
And as he's pulled up kind of to his full height, he's not like super short. He's not like, he's not
super tall is what I mean, but he's not short. He's like 5'10", maybe. Kind of like lanky,
but with like a little bit of like muscular cheer to him. Like, you know, he's probably like
done a little bit of work in here and there. He's not, you know, adverse to physical labor,
but definitely a little on the skinnier side.
As you are helped up, and you see Reinwald, another sharp-featured young man, also donning
the uniform, a fresh uniform, now tattered and tarnished by the circumstances at hand.
As he takes your hand and pulls you upwards, he holds you steady, attempts to hold like,
just like anything, and he just goes, are you alright? Can you walk?
Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine. A little hurt. I meant half-health, right?
Yes.
Yeah, so I'm a little cut and bruised. Oh man, I don't think...
Just tell me.
I don't know how to sew. I'm gonna...
Just, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. We have to focus on getting out of here.
Alright, this uniform is just so nice. I didn't want to... I'm just worried it's a little ruined.
He looks around and almost like as a quick sort of maneuver, despite everything, he reaches in
towards the hole where you were pulled out of. He grabs a little bit of fabric that was ripped off
and he just quickly pockets it. Looking around, you are surrounded. You are within a sort of like,
a three-story tall administrative building in the middle of Brindle Hill.
It was here that you were going through your sort of like initial sort of like observations
before you went to the academy, before you started going, but then all of a sudden an explosion,
heat, fire ringing in your ears. All of a sudden the moment became swallowed up by chaos.
The moment you were speaking to an ambassador to Irobrin. You had just been given the stamp,
the ready, the go-ahead before and before chaos consumed this place.
He covers his mouth with his arm before looking at you and he just goes,
just tell me if I have to carry you, alright?
No, I'm alright. I can walk. I'm fine.
If I look around, is it just like things are falling apart or is there fire around us?
There's fire, things are falling apart. It seems like you've been out for a bit.
Okay, got it. My eyes definitely land on one of the biggest bits of fire and I think I like
stare at it for a moment, kind of like freeze just a little bit.
Just, Cole. Yeah, yeah.
Just, I need you here. Alright, alright.
Here, he places a hand like on your arm and he doesn't pull too hard, he just goes,
we need to get out of here. Alright, is there, I kind of look, is there like a window?
You see, as you start looking for a window, he pulls you towards like the sort of like exit
that go down the stairs, but as soon as he does that, a pillar, a column that was holding,
a support that was holding up, something falls directly in front of the door.
Can I kind of like grab him and pull him back as that happens?
Do I spot it before he does? Go ahead.
Yeah, pass it 20. Okay, definitely then. You see that he
was walking towards it, he doesn't see it about to come down as he's continuing his way.
You grab him by his collar, he goes, yank it back, he goes, and then he sees, splinters the ground
in front, blocking the way, destroying the ground of this wooden building.
Oh boy. Alright, I kind of just look around, do I see a window?
Definitely. There's like these like lot, like sort of like diagonal windows.
Okay, can I just like grab like a chair or something and just like chuck it through the window?
As you grab a chair and you chuck it, a small back draft, fire blows out of the window,
but eventually it clears to a smoke-filled sky. You see the right view immediately
as the foggy window sort of clears up, a place under attack.
You witness as individuals wearing like a certain, under a certain banner, wearing
a poulgine, different from the soldiers you've seen so far, one of them takes a, one of the kindly
men who had offered you a welcoming gift in the form of freshly baked bread as this soldier
stabs him repeatedly in the gut. What the fuck?
What the fuck? But there's just chaos, there's fighting, sword clashing, one against the other,
a surprise attack. Ron, where'd Tulaga go? Where'd Robin? All damn.
I haven't gone to see them, but for now I think we should, I think we have to worry about getting
out of here. I kind of like look down over. All right. It is about 25 feet up. All right,
that's fine. Here, climb on. I kind of, climb on. What? All right, fine. Can I try and like
scoop them up bridal style then? Go ahead and make an athletics check. Okay. Let's see.
Athletics, I have an expertise die on this. You can do it Albert.
That is a, oh, it's set to private for some reason, but that's a 13.
Just enough to like kind of get them up into my arms. Strangely light as he just kind of,
as you put them up, there's no resistance as he just kind of goes, Oh heavens.
All right. And then I just, I'm just going to jump out the window.
You jump out the window. You want to describe how you fall? Yeah. As I kind of jump out the window
down 25 feet down to the ground, as I kind of jump out carrying Reinwald kind of like bridal style,
he's like wrapped around my shoulders. I'm definitely a smaller boy than he is. But as I
kind of like jump, I kind of like hold him a little tighter and I like lean forward and I do like a
little flip. And then there's this kind of like this updraft in the air as I very deftly just
land on my feet. No damage, nothing like that. I just land safely on the ground. His eyes.
Quite slowly in fact, and then I kind of place him down. His eyes, why I'm such around as you
place him down. You're lighter than I thought you were going to be. He places, he pats you down for
a second. He just goes, are you all right? Yeah. I mean, I didn't, did you get, did I cut you on the
glass up there? I'm sorry if I did. No, no, no, no. It's just, I got it all out. Learning new things.
Your talent has sounded me friend. I just jumped out a window. I used to do that all the time when
I was little. Jump out windows. I mean, all my siblings used to do that. You know, we used to,
we used to climb up trees and jump down. It was kind of like, I think.
Well, while I would love to learn everything. I'm not the roof once actually.
While I would learn, while I would love to learn and chat about everything
about you, we have to find, we have to put ourselves in a decent space.
And he looks around to see individuals like combat and such. He sees the slain, like innocent
people on the ground. Eyes harden immediately as his hand reaches for the, as his hand reaches for
the great sword on his back. We should find the others and see what we can do to help.
He just steps forward and just goes, yes, you find them. I have to help.
Bap bap bap bap bap. I gotta place a hand on his shoulder.
Let's, let's stick together. We don't need to be, there's too much chaos right now.
There's so much smoke, we're not going to find each other if we split up.
Just call these people. They need assistance.
Yeah, let's help. Let's find the others.
A small rumble in the ground.
And he's like, oh, I'm not going to help.
A small rumble in the ground. As you hear, it's not, it's not steps. It's not fissures in the
ground. The building that you just, you just jumped out of is shaking. It's like,
All right, I'm gonna back up.
You get away from this building. It's collapsing. As you hear,
a low guttural beastly sound come from within. Reinwald zeroes in on it and begins backing away
with you. As he starts backing away, crashing through a building debris stone, just flinging
about anywhere, it's like a scattershot direction. You see this large plated creature, a massive,
a massive, massive bull wearing what seems to, wearing what seems to be armor.
What?
Run down this wall, a hanging human man hanging from one of his, from one of his horns,
one that you recognize. Sir Gavrin, the knight who was supposed to lead you towards Iren,
gored, skewered, limp, dead on his horn.
Pardon my primordial, but what the fuck?
What the fuck? As you start backing away, this plated beast on all fours, just steam
flowing out of its nose, looks to you. It seems really deeply annoyed at this hanging,
at this body that's still hanging on its horn. I mean, I'm being annoyed too, I guess, but.
And then it looks towards you, the both of you.
Oh boy. Cool.
Yeah. We need to go.
Yeah, let's go. The two of you begin to run as you hear the roar of this beast and the rapid
pounding of its footsteps behind you. You began to rush through this, rush through this, what was
once this humble, what was once this humble village, now suddenly engulfed, turned into a war zone.
As you, as you rush, as you rush through between these farm patches, jumping over wagons.
Go ahead and make an acrobatic check for me.
Oh boy. All right. Well, I do have a D4 on this, so, uh, acrobatics. Here we go. That's a 17.
Oh, that's a gosh darn.
That's a goddamn 17.
That's a knee slap. I grew up in Alabama.
As you start running, you hear, look out! As this horse on fire runs by you, almost collides into
you, you slide directly under it. And you watch as this, as this sort of like, as this large bull
just tramples this horse, takes a step back, and you see the horse, you see the horse, you see the
bull just tramples this horse, takes a step back, gores it, and flings it into the air.
And it's still, it's still, it's still following. It's still following you. It seems to be right
back on the chase. Just the wagons in front of it against the splinter. It's destroying everything
in its path.
Oh boy. All right. All right. Um, as we're running, uh, can I take, uh, I'm kind of like
lift, look through my stuff real quick. Can I just pull out, uh, I got a knife. Can I just like chuck
a knife at it?
Okay. Go ahead and make an attack. Go ahead and make an attack roll.
Okay. Um, uh, it's going to be, uh, I don't have an expertise on this, so this is just going to be
a normal 18.
Just? This is,
uh, this knife thrown straight and true.
Just misses you said?
Just misses. Yes.
Uh, Reinhardt is here, right? And he is an ally?
Reinwald. Yes.
Rein, Rein, Reinwald.
Yeah, you got it.
Reinwald. Uh, okay. I'm going to use saving face to add one to it because he's here with me.
It was a 19 hit then?
A 19 hits.
Okay. Cool. Um, I didn't have advantage. Uh, so it's just going to be, uh, it's just going to be
nine piercing damage.
It'll be four piercing damage as, um, it's tossed.
It dives directly into the plate. It does not stop it.
You have pissed it off.
All right. Um, a little concerning that when something is stuck with a knife that it can,
it doesn't seem like it registered it.
I don't like that.
Um, as, uh, you, as, uh, you're continuing to run, I want another, uh, I want another
acrobatics checks from you.
Acrobatics check. You got it. That's going to be a 24.
Nice.
Um, you are, uh, you are running way far ahead. This thing is destroying everything behind you.
You do not want to see what happens when you are, when it catches up to you.
Not at all.
Uh, Lucia, give me a d20 roll.
What?
And I mean it.
And I mean it. Okay. What did I do? A 12.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Um, I guess record, uh, record that, uh, uh, record that on my end. Okay. 12, 12, 12, 12.
Um, my knife's gone.
Uh, you're like, you're like, like my knife's gone and you see Ryan Wolt fully like sprinting.
It is going, what in the bloody hell is this thing?
Uh, I think it's a boar. I mean, I used to hunt them with my dad when I was little, but this one
kind of big, I gotta be honest.
This is quite big for a boar.
Yeah, no, it's real big. It's real big. Um, can I try, uh, um, unhook like a little pouch from my,
from my, uh, from my side and try and, this is going to be silly with a giant boar. Can I just,
as we're running, just like grab the bottom of the pouch and just kind of like behind me and
unleash a thousand ball bearings behind us.
As, as multiple ball bearings fall out. Um, I will say, uh, completing your acrobatics check,
you do, you do a small front flip over a barrel. So you not to lose speed. Okay. Well, the ball
bearing, let me roll a d20. Kevin McAllister.
I don't have time to hide it. So I don't get to add anything special to it.
Okay. A deck saving throw to plus one. Okay. Uh, 13. 13. Uh, what would, what, what, what's the DC?
What are we? Oh, wait, let's see.
Do ball bearings have a DC? Um, if not, we can use your maneuver.
I don't think so. Uh, well, my maneuver DC is 15. Um, so that, so in, would fail in the interest of,
in, in, in, in, in, in the interest of time right now, um, you see as these, these thousands of ball
bearings, uh, just like, just like slide under this large bowl at first it crushes the ball
bearings underneath it. But the Frick, but as it kind of like starts leading onto the other ones, as
step after step goes on top of ball bearings, um, and he starts losing like the, the charge and
the sort of like, uh, the intention in his steps, he just goes,
he falls to the side as his body, as his body falls, he slides against the ground. Um,
and he, he slides against like a wooden fence and he starts like ripping up this wooden fence as he
collides against it. Is Sir Gavrin's body going with him?
Yeah. Oh, sorry about that, Sir Gavrin. Uh, you, uh, you, you watch as like, uh, uh, uh,
Reinwald, who was watching just goes, huh, clever move friend. Uh, I used to do it to my siblings
sometimes. Um, as you, I'll tell you all about later, as you hear a, as you hear a voice call
out, uh, amongst all the chaos you hear, Hey, um, a familiar voice. One that you've come to
known over the past few days. Uh, Robin, you see Robin, uh, a young tiefling, um, man, uh,
red curved horns around his side, looking like he looks like a ram. Um, absolutely not having any
of this. You can tell already that he's hating the situation. Um, he's cleaner. He's cleaner
than most though. Um, as he's like, instead of a shack, he gestures you over. Um, just get over
here. Come on. Um, as you, as you run on over, um, a quick peek back, you see Sir Gavrin's body
finally flung off of the, uh, the bull and the bull with war and rage in its eyes leaps up and
tramples all over the body. Get out of here. Out of here. Um, you rush into the shack and Robin
closes the door, um, behind you. This humble, uh, about you're allowed to catch your breath. Um,
um, what in the world? What in the world's happened? Um, well, I think we're under attack.
A young Elven woman with round lenses, two, uh, and two, uh, hair buns on her side. She has,
she has a white, she has white hair, uh, round glasses, two hair buns, uh, on the side. Uh, and
it is quite uncommon to see elves with freckles. Um, I will say as she like comes up to you holding
up, like she grabs a dancing light out of the air and holds it up to you and goes,
are you all right friend? What, what'd you call me? Um, and you, you know, uh, I would say, you know
this, uh, woman. It's Tula. I mean, I know it's Tula, but what'd she call me? He says, uh, she goes,
friend? Uh, yeah, yeah. Huh? She just kind of like looks, she kind of like looks you over. Um,
yeah, I know. This is so nice. It's probably the nicest things I had, I had to wear and now it's,
it's ruined. Oh, that's a bit, I am sure that we will rise above friend. Let me, let me, let me
fuss over your wounds. Oh, all right. Yeah. Um, I'm, I'm, I mean, I'm, I'm mostly, I got a little
bit of burn here. I'm a lot, I'm a, she, she pulls out the small, um, the small circular object
and you see that it, uh, it turns, uh, an arcane projection kind of like, like, uh, emits from it.
Uh, you see a compass, uh, it points directly towards you, um, which you know to be her arcane
focus and an Omni tool. Um, as she holds it out towards, as she holds it out towards you,
when the arrow points towards you, a healing sort of wave emits from it as she casts Cure Wounds on
you. Uh, you heal and we're doing, okay, you heal 13. Golly. All right. Wow. All right. I'm almost,
almost full. I'm back up. Um, you see Robin, uh, Robin, uh, Robin Adley, the Tiefling,
she's like looking at the window. Just goes, what the fuck is Inara doing here? This, this, this,
this far behind the borders? Wait, aren't we in the north? Why is Inara here? Is that, I thought we,
we did cross the border, right? Yeah. Um, this, uh, and Ryn, uh, Reinwald, uh, just goes,
this far behind the border, this, this, this far behind, just behind the border,
has the war really come this far? And Robin just goes, no, no, no, no, we would know if
Inara made their way just past the manifest already. Of what? I'm sorry. Uh, how far are we
in inside the borders? Is it, is it really that bad? Is it? Sorry. I don't know. I,
I don't know. Listen, we need to get you guys out of here. Just, um, uh, just like, uh,
his mind is like a thousand miles, a thousand miles a second. Um, and Rein, Reinwald stands up
and just goes, they have some kind of this beast out there. It's a, it's a boar, just a really big
one. It probably ate something like a lot. My mom used to say when you're, you know, you gotta,
you gotta eat a lot and then you'll get big. So they got war, they got war, they got war
beast this far behind the border. No, it's a boar. Whatever. Uh, just, just look really frustrated.
This guy gets really frustrated really easy. They're not going to go to the blackboard classes
after this. Oh no. And he just goes, listen, I don't know what the hell is happening here,
but we need to get, I need to get you guys out of here. And right. Uh, Reinwald goes,
that beast is going around and harming the innocent people within this village.
Oh yeah. He like, he like stepped all over, sir. Gavrin. It was real bad.
I think I saw his head explode. I'm not gonna lie. And to Tula goes, Oh, Oh no. Oh dear.
Um, so Gavrin has expired. Yeah. I mean, I think so. Yeah. I mean, I don't know about,
I don't think you could live. You have like a tusk through your chest and like your head kind of like,
and Robin and Robin just goes, you don't, you don't have to do that. You don't have to
what's the matter? Like, no, oh no, you're being traumatized. Okay. This is,
this is you guys' first battle. Um, and is this going to happen often at the school?
I don't know. I guess we'll find out. But the point is, is that we are going to find out.
Cause I'm going to get you guys out of here. Uh, and Reinwald just goes, I can't leave. Not
when people here are being hurt. No, I mean, that that's fair. I saw the, there was a baker.
He got like, it was not good. People are being harmed and we have the power to help. Um, and
Robin just goes like, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
listen, I know the adrenaline is really pumping, but that's a really stupid idea.
We need to get you and everyone out of here. Okay. And you are under my responsibility. So
I'm going to make damn sure you don't do anything stupid. Exactly us and everyone. And there's,
there's people in the town. They're everyone. Right. Yeah.
Wait, what are you saying? I'm saying you said it just like you said us and everyone in the town,
everyone here, everyone here, everyone in this little shack, right here, this little square,
little square. We understand each other. No, we don't. No, we don't. You're not understanding me.
You're just saying different things to me while we're talking. You're talking over me and saying
something else. You're clashing with my words. And Reinwald goes to the door, drawing his great sword.
And he just goes, I'm not going to leave these people behind. The three of you can go,
but I am going to, I'm going to push forward. I mean, we can't leave without Reinwald. That
you just said everyone in this town, every one of us has to go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
don't listen to him. If he wants to do something stupid, you let him do it. You let him do it. You
let him do it. You listen to me. I'm the war guy. I'm the war guy. You're the war guy. Yeah. I'm the
war guy. I mean, have you been to war? Are you been to war? I've been to battles. Reinwald, don't you
leave. Don't step out of the door. You have to follow, you follow me. Don't do anything stupid.
Don't, don't. Weren't you saying the whole time that you were, you were getting like tired of
walking and stuff. You wanted something interesting to happen. Is this not something interesting?
I meant like, I meant like I see like an animal or something, not war. Well, there's a bar out there
if you want to see it. You see two, uh, just goes, Reinwald, I'm coming with you. Oh God. Well, Robin,
I'm sorry. It sounds like you're outvoted, but if you come along with us, then you know, we can still
all get out of here. Oh my God, I'll fucking do this. And then we meet all the criteria you wanted.
Guys, don't, I'm begging. This is stupid. You sound just like my, just like my older sister.
Just stop saying words. I'm talking. It just reminds me of my older sister. She used to tell
us not to jump off the roof and just Reinwald goes, Cole, you're coming. Yeah. I mean, there's
people out there getting hurt. So I mean, very well. Then we are the same mind. Come on, uh, runs out.
Come on, Robin. Let's go. Fucking the compromise is we fight, but we also get out.
Um, he runs out. He just goes, guys. Um, as he does, as he does runs after you guys,
and you can sell, he he's almost crying when he pulls out his bow.
Poor baby. Um, uh, and he just, uh, and he just goes, as he's, he catches up to you, his cardio
is immaculate. Um, uh, and Robin goes, listen, listen, listen, if we're going to take an
alien war beast, you guys need to listen to me. All right. That thing, that thing is heavily armored.
Just, and just they're trained to go after magic users. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't,
users. Don't cast magic close to it. It'll know it will target them. Like how, how, I mean, I don't
know any spells, but like, like how close, like, uh, I don't know, asking for a friend. And I kind
of pointed to Tula. Um, Tula goes, Oh no, I wouldn't want to make the beast angry. Is there a way to
tame it? No, it's a war beast. I mean, we have pigs back on the farm. If you, if you feed, if you fed
them, why is it helping? How's that helping? How's that helping? How's that helping? How's that
helping? She asked if we could feed them and then it would tame it. It's a war beast. It's, it's in,
it's, it's in its natural environment. Well, it sounds like somebody tamed it. Rhynwald is locked
in. He's just letting his man happen behind him. How do you, how to get the armor on if it wasn't tamed?
Is that the only good point?
Just what the? Um, and Tula just goes, he makes an astute observation.
Uh, as you, as Rhynwald goes, there, there's the beast. Um, as you, uh, as you're approaching,
uh, back towards the, the administrative building, you see that a lot of the soldiers
have cleared up. There's a lot of fighting now between a lot, a lot less killing of innocence,
a lot more fighting between people who are meant to fight. Um, I will say also,
that you see, uh, uh, amidst, amidst the fires, as we're going to go to the map.
Oh boy, that's a big old map. What the fuck? Oh geez. Um, you, uh, uh, running forward, then I like,
just like the absolute, just like blaze around you. Um, but, um, you see, um,
um, but observe, but the observant eye catches notes of all the, all enemies around you,
who could be ally, who could be foe. It's hard to tell in the smoke.
You see labeled villager boys. So I know that one's good. You see walking through, um, walking
through the smoke at a far distance away hammer on his back. Yes, Jenny. I think you need to click
on discord. Oh, I got a read on the stream. I think we're frozen. Um, it does that it's, that's OBS
this thing. So, um, thank you for telling me that. Um, so, uh, you see through the smoke, uh,
like a large war hammer on its back, a figure standing tall in stalwart from the chaos, no weapon
drawn, nothing broad shouldered, uh, a man with bandages wrapped tightly around every part of
these features. It's my dad. It's my dad. It's my dad. And war hammer. You said, yeah. Law, like,
like a mall on it's where, where is he? Where am I looking? Um, not on the map. He's, I'm just saying
he's far. He's far, far, far off. He looks menacing. Um, he carves a silhouette, but he,
he stands out from the chaos in that, in the sense that he has, um, he, he, he has a sense of calm
around him. Yeah. I feel like he's behind it or something. It turns to walk. Um, you watch as, um,
your attention shifts back to seeing the, to see the bowl from before. Um, this, uh, this war,
this war beast slamming, gore-ing, uh, the section of this house, tearing down a stone
as you hear the cries of a child, uh, as you hear mom, mom, help, uh, as, uh, you see the, the
horrified face of a boy and a woman clutching each other inside of this house as this war beast is
war beast is attempting to basically destroy the house to get inside. Save the villagers. Save
the child. It's the fire emblem. It's the fire emblem. Come on all. Uh, as you all rush, uh,
into a rush, uh, weapons, uh, sorry, by the way, uh, Cole, give me a perception check.
A perception check. All right. All right. I can do that. Perceiving, um, perception. I have an
expertise in this. That's going to be a 18. Okay. You find on the way there, you find your knife
on the ground. Oh, there we go. Now roll initiative. All right. Uh, do I find my bag of a thousand
ball bearings too? It's going to be wild to pick all those up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's fine. Okay. Um,
um, I'm just waiting for the initiative tracker. Are you the rogue that takes weapons off of people?
What are you the rogue that takes weapons off of people?
Rogue that takes what's that one? Well, what's that one? I don't know the name of it. No,
that's Zachariah. Zachariah is one that takes weapons off people. The rogue weapon taker.
There we go. Okay. And we add five because of Robin's. Yeah. Or Robin has a band
wagon. But that was everyone in the bandwagon to add a plus five to their initiative. That's a hit
die. That's not what I needed. Um, so this plus five, so 18 is what that should be. I'll just
edit it myself. If it will. There we go. What, what is going on over here? What's the, what's
the huge thing? Oh, it's the smoke. I have, oh gosh. I'll be on skinny in my work.
There you go. Smell fire is pretty cool. It is cool. Okay. Here we go.
All right. Played more beast.
We got caught up real quick. Okay. Warbeast. I rolled a three. Let's sort this and cool.
So you see this, you see this war beast tending to just like, just completely occupied with
destroying this, with trying to trample this young, this young boy and woman and her mother and his
mother. Ahead of you is this, there's a slope, there's a sloping hill and you see in front of
you a flaming wagon. Well, I got, it's, it's fire only, you got to use the terrain effects when it
gives it to you. So, all right. Well, first things first, I think I'm going to run forward.
Does it look like it just needs one good shove? You could go ahead and, you can go, you can go
ahead and test it, but it looks like it's going to need more than you. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm not
very strong. How high is this, the roof of this building that's in front of me? It is about like
30 feet tall total. Okay. All right. Okay. And it is distracted. Yes. So far away. All right. At the
start of my turn then, I think I'm going to use my war band ability, my war bond ability. And I'm
going to use two charges of fairy winds to let myself take the dash action for free.
And can I use a, do I think I could sneak up on this thing? It's distracted. It's definitely,
okay. Go ahead and, what's your passive stealth? My passive stealth? Yeah.
17 and I have a dice that's plus three, so passive would be 20. Okay. Let's just,
okay, let's just say you can definitely sneak up on it. Okay. Cool. I can, okay. All right. Then
I am going to kind of sneak along the building, kind of trying to stay out of its sight lines.
And as I come kind of running in, I want to, as I come running in, I leap and I reach down and pull
from my belt two knives and just come in like, kind of like Assassin's Creed kind of like style
onto it. Okay. So the thing is, I will give you, I will tell you this because you would know.
So you know that that plate is really hard to get through. But as you get closer, seeing the opening,
there is the fleshy underbelly that's exposed. Ooh, nevermind. As I run closer, I want to do like
a cool like slide underneath of it and try and like along its underside. And if I dash, if I got
the free dash, I technically can move 60. Yeah. I'm going to use my bonus action to dash as well. So
I can just fully just get to the other side. And I'll like point out the cart to like Robin or whoever
and I'll take off so that way I have a little bit of space. So rush bonus action dash, slide under,
and I'm going to slash at it with my thing. I'm going to spend one exertion point to make this a
dangerous strike. Ooh, hell yeah. So that is going to be, so first one would be at advantage.
20 to hit. 20? That just hits. Cool. All right. That is going to be, and I get to add this.
So that's going to be a total of 15 damage as I along the bottom of it. And I will use a charge
of velocity to come in with the second strike as well underneath of it. Using your momentum,
the other dagger is primed in your hand. Number two, 16 underneath of it. Unfortunately,
does not succeed unless Tula is going to go ahead and replace your roll with a 19
that she rolled earlier that day. Wait, that makes it a crit. That's my girl. All right.
She should have said that before I used my sneak attack, but that's okay.
So that's just going to be another seven damage. Okay. Seven damage. Oh wait, it's a crit. It's a
crit. It's a crit. So it's an additional four. 11 points of damage. Got it. Got it. Got it.
As this damage comes through, as you feel finally making cuts, incisions into this creature,
you find that it rears back from it. The pain is registered immediately and it lets out this
low roar as it just turns towards you. And it's going to fly into a rampage. Oh dear.
No. And this extra, okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Love that. All right. That's my two actions,
my movement. Oh, wait. Do you get brainwolds? Wait. I have a- Yes. I do. I didn't need to do
the dash because my personal skill lets me pass through it. So- Yes, actually. Yeah. So I don't
provoke opportunity attacks. So I will use my bonus action to take one more swing underneath of it
with my off hands. 23. Four more damage. And then yeah. That's it. Do you want to use Reinwald's-
Yes, I do. So for everyone here, Reinwald has a bandwagon ability where once around,
if anybody has a nat 20 critical success on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw,
they can immediately take a full turn. Holy shit. That's my boy. I'm never letting go of him.
Sorry. He's getting locked in with us. Sorry. As you come in, as you come in striking, sliding
in between your daggers slashing these very dexterous hands going at work, Reinwald sees you
and he just goes, yes. And he just goes, keep going friend. All right. This thing doesn't like
me. It's looking at me. So I'm going to use one exertion point to make this a perplexing flurry.
Just for a little bit of defense on my part. And we're going to go ahead and make,
this is not an advantage. So this is just a swing. 25. 25 to hit. Absolutely. That's going to be
nine piercing damage. And then I'll do another velocity for a second attack. Nine is not going
to hit. That's not going to hit. So since your turn is renewed, it is another sneak attack. So go ahead
and roll your sneak attack. Well, it's not next to anything for, I need an advantage, but. Oh, you
need advantage. That's right. Oh wait. It's AC goes down. That's right. That's right. That's right.
But this second attack, I'm going to use my bonus action to do the offhand swing. And because I
missed that attack, advantage on this one. You got it. Right. Yes. Okay. 23 to hit. Okay. That hits.
And because this one is at advantage, I do add sneak attack. So that's going to be an additional
16 more damage. So Albert just immediately pops off. And I technically have movement,
and I technically have movement. I'm going to hop over this over here into like the little cabbage patch.
All right. Actually, no. Ryan, while it's coming, I'll stay here. I square up. He has disadvantage
on all attacks against me now because of perplexing pure flurry because I'm too fast for him.
Hmm. You see, you see he's like, just like, trying to eye you down. Whatever you move fast.
His like head turned sharply. He's just trying to find a good direction. Like really Goria.
Come on piggy.
Reinwald comes over here. He puts his hand against the wagon. He begins to try to push by himself
and he just goes, someone. And Robin goes, stupid. I forgot about the wagon.
As he, as they begin, as they begin to push, let me go ahead and make athletics for both of them.
I guess. Let's see. 17 natural 17 for Reinwald. So that's probably like, I think that's like 24
and a 13 for Robin, which I think is like a 16. So, so, so it was a group check and it succeeded.
As the two of them, as the two of them push, this beast is staring you down. It rears up
ready to trample you with its hooves. And as you, as this huge beast shadows over you for a moment,
a, you see a fast approaching light aura in it. And this large wagon slams into its back, knocking
it down. It is stunned and the wagon is broken.
Let me roll the damage. It's going to be six points of damage total because it's reduced to half.
And that's going to be their turns. The beast is stunned. Tula, one, two, three, four, five, six.
She's a real quick measurement. Just within range, 50 feet. She is going to use her action to cast a cantrip,
Cassavara's true strike. As she just goes, Coco, I believe in you. As she holds her compass out towards you,
you see it turns into a clock and it begins to spin back and forth as its arcane etchings begin to rapidly spin.
You all of a sudden gain insight into the beast's defenses. The next strike you make against this beast has advantage.
What words is she saying? Coco? I don't even...
That's me. Coco Bang Zoom.
That's how we introduce each other to our island. So the war beast is going to go ahead and be stunned for this turn.
Koal? All right. It's me again. One second. Top of the round. You see the mother kind of like sticks her head out.
She's like desperately trying to see how to like to like get like like find an opportunity to move, basically.
You got a back door or a side window? She grabs her child and you see she kind of like disappears into the back.
But you're still focused with the beast. It's your turn. All right. Well, I feel like I've got some insight into this thing right now.
So we're going to go ahead and do a dangerous strike. So we're going to spend one exertion to do that.
I've given you insight into the creature's defenses, Coco.
It's Koal. Oh, it's fine. It's fine.
Do we not have nicknames where you are from? No, that sounds good. Coco, it is.
All right. That's a 20 to hit. That hits. All right. And that will be with sneak attack.
That's going to be 14 damage. 14 damage. You got it. You got it.
And his AC is reduced by two. And then we'll go ahead and do a bonus action swing on it as well with my offhand.
Go ahead. This is 23. 23. That hits. Go ahead.
OK. And that is just going to be another two damage. You got it. You got it.
And I technically have my movement. I don't provoke opportunity attacks. There's no wagon anymore.
I'm trying to keep it busy over here. Actually. Wait, no. Randall and all that.
I'm going to move over here to give myself a little cover with this building. Just a little bit.
OK. And you turn. That's it. OK.
Reinwald takes the dash action. Sword in hand. Absolute fucking.
Wait, where is he? He's up there. I'm going to use one charge of prairie winds as my reaction to let him to give him an extra 10 movement.
He he's running like Tom Cruise running with his great sword in hand.
The wind is just going to. He steps his foot on the on the broken burning wagon.
He leaps through the fire and your wind carries him forward, giving the giving him the boost that he needed to get there.
He just thinks he's he just thinks he's just being fucking awesome right now.
You are you really cool parkour parkour. Let's see what I get.
And he is going to go ahead. And he is going to use two points of exertion to.
He's going to he is going to lean into it.
You see, he grips to grips to it, just sort of with both hands and he just goes in with a huge overhand swing right toward its gut.
Oh, not 20, baby.
As he as he as he as he as he does that, he just goes.
Oh, I got an opening. Go ahead. And it spurs you to attack because he quit. Oh, he lets other people attack when he does that.
OK, got it. Do I need my reaction to do that? Yes. Oh, I use my reaction to move him.
Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, that's right. OK.
It could do Robin. Robin's a bow, right? This goes Robin do something.
Robin fucking get your head in the game.
Fucking Robin. Robin's like, I can't this is.
He's like, why doesn't anyone listen to me?
Like, why does that mean characters?
Robin just needs a nap.
Robin always with advantage.
To an 18. So it's a hit.
It doesn't hit that doesn't hit. It is minus two.
Oh, wait, no, no, no, no, it doesn't. That's until he takes damage.
Which I don't think you're all damage.
Oh, yeah, I haven't rolled for him yet.
Let me do that. Do do do do do do.
If it's minus two, OK, let's see.
Oops. Plus 12.
So 26 points of damage is going to pump a smite into it.
That's my boy. Push it. Push it to the limit.
So 20, 26 plus four plus eight.
He deals 38 points of damage in one hit. Holy shit.
That's my boy. That was that was.
What's this? Reynwald Reynwald.
And he is going to he's going to use his ability on himself to go ahead and take an extra full action.
And this is completely seven and an eight, a one and a two.
He's he's doing his best.
Gosh darn best.
The top of the sword just cleans against the armor he miscalculated.
And he he just kind of like back to just like staring down this piece.
This thing is fucking pissed.
OK. Robin, who doesn't want to fucking.
Didn't want to do this in the first place. He's better at fighting humans.
He doesn't want to do the first place. What did Tula mark this thing at the start with her?
Oh, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Right.
Is Robin hit before? So Robin does hit.
Give me one second. Proud of you, Robin. Eight points of damage.
So the figures at home, Tula's warband ability is at the start of combat.
She picks one thing and everyone in the warband gets plus two to do attacks against it.
She has another thing for like a skill as well, but that's that's the combat one.
Robert's like, I'm I'm specifically built to fight humans.
This is stupid.
It's easier than just a pig.
It's a ball.
This is dumb.
He's going to go ahead.
And he is going to go ahead and just pull out the bow and continue the fire from a distance because he's not going to do with both of you chuckle heads.
And does not hit even with the plus two.
Fifteen.
And he.
The beast is enraged already.
Tula steps up a bit more. She's going to use her bonus action to use for a resource.
She can cast a cantrip that she knows as a bonus action instead of an action.
She's going to cast a cast of your nose to strike on you one more time.
Cole.
And then she's going to use her action to magic missile.
Let me get to try to get my fastest to get to you.
OK.
So that is Tula's turn.
The war beast no longer stunned and enraged gets up.
Jenny and Emma both of you roll a d20 for me and Cole make a dexterity saving throw.
A dexterity saving throw. All right.
Twelve again. That's my second twelve.
That's going to be a 25.
All right. Well, it's going to go ahead and make one of those sum bitches as well.
All right. Fuck it. Both of you succeed.
Fuck that. That's shit.
OK. You both take 11 points of bludgeoning damage as he rampages.
You see as he raises his hooves and he just begins to stamp around just like a raging bull if someone was on their back.
But just pure, pure, pure destructive. His head bangs against the house and you see the front of the house caves in.
Wait, now I'm not sure. Is it a pig or a bull? Is it a boar or a bull?
Robin is like, it's attacking you.
And the the war beast is going to go ahead and attack you, Cole, with its second attack.
Let's see. That's a 21 hit.
Yeah, yeah, it does. OK, you take 16 points of damage.
Oh, that's a lot. I'm down to three.
Hey, as he attempts to go as he attempts to gore you, it just barely misses skewering you completely.
But you can feel you can feel his hooves, like his tusks, his horns kind of like cleave a good part of your good part of your chest.
Now, not the uniform again.
All right, Cole. Cole, it's your turn.
All right. Well, that hurt.
All right. Well, I see. I don't know what it is. I got this back.
My eyes keep going to like a very specific part of him. I think it's too low.
So we're just going to we're going to do like a like a run, kind of like run, kind of slide underneath him and try and like real quick up into its belly.
I was I was I will say just because it's observant, but you do note that attacking seemingly attacking the underbelly while it's coherent seems to make it make it pissed.
But that's the only way to damage it as well. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. It's fine.
I meant to roll the other thing, but it's fine. This is going to be a dangerous strax again.
We're going to spend an exertion for that. Where's my exertion there?
That is a twenty one to hit. All right. Twenty one hits. OK, perfect.
I want to be a sneak attack. Yeah, no, we're going to save the sneak attack.
It's going to be seven piercing, and then I'm going to spend a velocity to do a second main hand attack. OK, he's not at advantage.
OK, go ahead. So that should be actually a 13. The first attack was with advantage, right? So it's a sneak attack. Yes.
Yeah, I wasn't adding sneak attack. I was trying to get a crit. Oh, got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm being a little greedy. So I miss unless a 13 hits with the with the minus two AC. It does not.
OK, so I have advantage on my bonus action attack with the off hand.
That's going to be a 19 to hit. 19 that does hit. Yes. OK, all right. I will do the sneak attack this time.
That's going to be 15 more piercing damage as I kind of run, kind of slide underneath of them to get over here next to my boy, Ryan.
I'm bald. It was what? Five, 10, 15, 20. I don't provoke opportunity attacks.
I have 15 more feet of movement. I probably should back off. I really should. How's this thing looking?
It is pissed and bloodied. It's you bloodied it up pretty pretty well, but it's still going strong.
It's still aggressive. OK, I am. I'm going to run and hop over the back of run.
Hop over this fence over here. OK, got it. Got it.
Mm hmm. 17. Just uh, I'm in danger.
It was behind me, friend. As he does, he just goes and just goes, beast, you face me.
Ryan Wold, a star on the air. I will not let you harm another innocent soul while I'm here.
No, he is. He's main character syndrome. He's going to land hands on himself. 20 hit points.
So what if I ship him and Marcellus? No, no, no, no, no.
No, they would kill each other. He does not. He does not have the ego of myself.
Yeah, he doesn't have the ego. These are sweetheart. I love them. They would fucking kill each other.
As long as you believe that it's it is the obligation of noble privileged people to defend innocent and people who are less privileged than you, then you're fine.
It's my job. He's a little boy. Robin. Robin goes, what the fuck is wrong with you? Stop speaking.
Robin hates everyone right now. He's going to say Robin is just Robin, just just tired. Robin needs to not be on this mission.
This goes at least for Laura and Lucy are going to be more sane, right?
Hmm.
Okay, reduce this. Okay. Now, Robin.
I'm not even paying attention.
Tula is going to use an action.
Because she doesn't want to piss it off. I think I already pissed it off. I attacked the underbelly. That's right.
Her last bonus action cantrip. She's going to use the true strike.
But she's going to use it on Reinwald this time.
And she is going to cast a second level spell.
She pulls out the compass once more. You see the glass inside of it shatters and it slowly lifts into the air.
The shattered glass remains enlargen.
It is to become three floating glass shards and large glass shards in the air.
All of them towards the beast.
Please, please, please, please, please.
Okay, three. Three reduced to one.
Seven points of damage. She gets back drafted.
She gets an extra whole turn.
And Reinwald goes, again!
Again!
And with the entire new action, she's just going to do a scorching ray.
Another crit?
Another one? Oh, it is another crit. Damn.
Okay. Let's see. Nine plus twelve. So 21. She should have done that first.
Wait, I thought John Bob was supposed to be here. Where's John Bob when you need him?
John Bob is fighting the rest of the army.
Oh, you're probably right.
Unless that was John Bob with the bandages.
Jenny and Emma roll a d20 for me.
Again? Yes, please.
I wonder if I'll roll another 12. Hell yeah.
That 20? Yeah.
Okay, Reinwald's going to take a critical hit.
16.
Okay. Reinwald takes for the first hit 41 points of damage.
Are we rolling? Are we rolling as the monster?
Yeah. Oh no.
That would knock me out. That attack.
I think that would almost kill me.
And Reinwald is going to take another hit. Taking 24 points of damage.
Yeah, I have 26 hit points.
Reducing him to one.
Oh, geez.
As you see the full impalement of him, he rises with the beast.
And the beast smashes down on him once more.
Reinwald clutches his wound, but he is still standing.
Managing to adore at one hit point.
Love him. God.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Cold, your turn.
It's me. It's me. Little cold.
How's the mama and the boy doing?
They're coming out the back door.
That's right. The top of the round.
They are coming through a window conveniently on your side.
Go that way. That way.
Thank you.
That way.
And goes. They're basically going to be off the map.
Alright, perfect.
Alright. I see Reinwald is having a little bit of a rough time.
And I am coming in for my boy. I got you.
I'm rushing in.
As you're rushing in, in an opportune moment, Robin goes,
Guys, this statue is damaged. We can maybe topple it on the...
And you're already ahead.
I'm already here.
Alright, we're going to run in.
I feel for Robin.
I feel like I got to do...
I got to do another Dangerous Strikes.
We're going to go ahead and swing with a dagger.
Does an 18 hit?
I don't think it does, right?
Is that the plus two from Tula?
Yes.
Okay, it does not hit, sadly.
Okay. Alright.
So I have advantage on the second attack. I'm going to use velocity.
To do a second swing.
Oh, Jesus.
Alright.
Well, that's not working out.
So we're going to go in for one more bonus action.
Offhand swing.
Real quick.
Yeah.
For that attack specifically.
Because a plus seven plus two would...
Okay.
Emma.
Would you like to use your 12 you had stashed earlier?
And replace one of his rolls with that because it would make a hit.
Make a hit for...
Wait, for...
On who?
It would help Cole.
It would help him.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
I don't know why it's happening.
You're 12.
But yes.
Stashed from earlier, yeah.
Why?
What did I see?
Alright, so that's a hit then.
We'll go ahead and apply the sneak attack.
That's going to be 18 more damage to it.
Sneak attack.
And then it has minus two to its AC until it takes damage.
And we're going to do an offhand dagger on it.
That is 26 to hit for another one Pearson.
Everyone counts.
Yep.
Everything counts.
I'm going to...
I'm posting up here next to my boy.
We're ready.
Reinwald, extremely hurt.
Sees you out of sight.
Doesn't say anything, but you can tell.
It spurs him into action.
With the true strike at hand, he is going to go in with a...
Hopefully with a big strike.
Oh!
Big strike.
Nat 20.
Nat 20, baby.
Going for the underbelly.
Okay, so three plus one to the 12, 22.
Plus another smite.
And because he is next to this enemy and I'm next to this enemy at the same time and he attacked it, I'm going to use Teamwork Makes a Dreamwork to use my reaction to make an attack.
Stop Teamwork Makes a Dreamwork.
What the fuck?
Extra 14.
So he can get that extra attack to someone else because I'm already swinging.
Did I hit with that last one, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Another Nat 20.
Wait, how are you rolling?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
All right, and that includes sneak attack because it's a new turn, so that is going to be 26, 30, 37 damage.
Two Nat 20s.
They're meant to be.
They should kiss after this.
I just realized the other one was his crit 19 because his personal skill lets him crit early.
That's true, that's true.
But still, two crits in a row.
Fucking wild.
This whole scribe...
You're finishing below.
All right, perfect.
So as Reinwald comes in and kind of smacks this thing across the head, I am going to kind of grab onto the horn and use it to swing myself underneath it.
I want to take one more final slash along the bottom, and then as I use the momentum to get up on the other side, I want to try and shoulder check it.
Because since Reinwald crit, he can use his reaction to give someone else an attack, right?
Can he give that attack to Robin?
Yeah.
Cool.
Can I try and push it into Robin's arrow so it looks like he gets the killing blow?
Robin goes around and takes another shot as you kind of get it into him.
Poor bastard.
And Robin, thinking he's just taking advantage of your opening, as the arrow spirals through it and sinks through it, it thrashes.
And as you're still hanging on...
Can I swing around to the top of it like I'm riding the bull?
Yeah.
Okay, for fun, give me an athletic check.
All right, sounds good.
This is going to be an athletics check.
I do have an expertise die on this, so I'm going to fucking die, but it's okay.
That's a 12.
Yolo.
No, no, no.
Yolo for the bit, for the bit, for the bit.
It's fine.
As you kind of fly off, this would damage you, but you have...
I can use my reaction to not take damage from falling damage.
Yes.
But you used your reaction to...
Oh, I did, you're right.
I'm resistant, though, to falling damage, so Girolo.
Give me one second here to make sure I got the wording on this one specifically.
Yolo.
The creature falls and you are sent basically spiraling, like cartwheeling through the air.
Oh, wait, no.
Ryan...
Ryan will...
This is a whole new turn that I just got, right?
Oh, that's right, so your reaction is...
There we go.
Your reaction's renewed.
I used my reaction.
He uses backdraft so you can just have another reaction.
I do a cool flip in the air and land down on the other side.
I forgot that Reinwald and Tula both have Feather Fall.
As you land, you see the beast slowly begins to slump to the ground.
As his body crumbles and it releases all its weight, the ground shakes.
As Robin goes...
Damn, I'm awesome.
Oh my gosh, Robin, that was so cool.
It shot right into its neck and then it...
I know, right?
Just...
And like...
Holy shit, are you both okay?
No.
Not at all.
But I'll be fine.
And as Reinwald puts his sword, clutches the wound, and looks to you, he is completely
on the edge of consciousness, but he still looks to you.
He just goes, oh, you all right?
Yeah, I mean...
I'm fine.
I can help carry you.
We can carry each other, you know what I mean?
As the beast follows Reinwald, looks towards Robin, Robin looks around, and you see multiple
civilians who are stuck in their house, who are cowering from the beast's rampage, are
peeking out now, and you see a lot of people, seemingly people that have been spared from
the presence of this beast, are now scattering off into different directions.
People that you saved.
As that happens, Reinwald goes, looking at the blood, he's like, I did it.
And Robin just goes, all right, we've played Hero.
That's so cool.
You guys have a story now, it's at school.
We have to get you to school.
You're the hero.
You did it.
I'm so glad you told us to do this, Robin.
You're cool.
Robin is so done.
Okay, okay.
Everyone, let's gather up.
Do I still see that figure kind of in the distance?
You look around to see that it's gone.
Anyone see which way that guy went?
The guy who definitely did this, because he seemed real calm.
It's kind of innocent, too.
He's covered in bandages and stuff.
Someone covered in bandages.
Hey, it was over that way.
You look, as you point towards that direction, you see another figure kind of also making its way through the smog.
A whistle pierces through the air.
As a masked individual makes its way there.
Multiple knives and such at its side.
Multiple knives with knives.
They made a whistle sound?
Made a whistle sound, yes.
I'll go ahead and say this because it's from your hometown, from your homeland.
You definitely, like the whistle it makes, it sounds suspiciously like a bird from your homeland.
In East Room.
Do I have any idea what kind of bird?
I just heard it.
I don't know if I know bird names.
A passerine butcher bird.
I am having a foot cramp.
Give me one moment.
It's all good.
You need to drink more water.
I do.
I do this thing, when my tongue gets dry, I just gently bite the tip of my tongue instead of drinking water.
No, Jimmy.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Genuinely, genuinely.
You very, very gently press down your teeth on the tip of your tongue and it creates saliva and it just makes your mouth moist for a little bit.
You're trying to get your mouth dry enough that you need to do that, though.
I forgot my water.
This individual this individual looks towards you
Towards you specifically. Oh boy
Make a charisma saving drop Jesus charisma save
Alright
That's a 12. Wait, is this a
This is a charm a frighten a paralyze a poison a stun or or am I being put to sleep?
None of those. All right. I got I got nothing help with that then
And
You see Ryan waltz go Ryan wall, uh, right Ryan walt goes
says
Another one who would see the two innocence harm. Yes. Well, he's got a cool mask. We'll put them to the test won't we?
Cool. Um
youth
white takes to your surroundings as
A fog begins to build up around you
The other individuals around you made it disappear oh the fires
The heat of the fires disappearing replaced with a sudden vacuum of coldness
You are within a foggy all of a sudden now you're within a foggy realm
The this
In this individual uncheats one of the daggers. Oh, it's a vanisher
It just goes we can't escape these motherfuckers
Hello
How unlucky of you to cross me I you walk towards us we
I've been standing over here. I didn't walk in your what are you doing here?
Bleeding out
We just fought a boy. He steps forward silently now with a nice
I'm coming in intending to complete
In complete intent to kill. All right, we're running running
As you as you as you as you start to as you start to run, um
He as you start as you start to run he stops he pulls he
a small crossbow on his wrist begins to
Form as you as he aims his hand out towards you
He seems oddly targeting you specifically for some odd reason
What I do to you?
I hate country hicks
It's regional he's charged
I have do I have one thing maybe I might have some
I
Don't I'm so there's just like mist around me. Is there like a bigger part of mist that I could like could I like go back?

Because I run it behind a building
You can't you can run. Yes, you can absolutely run
Okay, I
Got I have anything that would help me at all
I was gonna drink this but it's still water. I
Need my water
watch out guys
He made like a whistle sound. Mm-hmm
Okay, can I try and like run?
And like run kind of behind a building to like kind of break line a set of them. Absolutely
can I try to like mimic that sound and try and like
It's not how prairie winds works
But can I use my last use of prairie winds to try and like make the set the the whistle kind of come
Like the winds try and like make it come from a little bit off to the side
Like somebody else is like whistling to him or something
Okay, what should I roll deception exception? All right
That is gonna be
That is gonna be a 14
Wait, is there anything I can add to this?
No one near me. I don't have teamwork. So there's no dream working
Yeah, I think that's what I got
Oh my god
Oh my fucking god, you gotta be
You got you you you gotta be shuffle in me. Yeah, I'm chuffing
I'm beyond chuffled. He is truffled
He's truffle alt
the whistle leaves
As the whistle leaves you
His
His eye his like head turns towards another direction
immediately
And then this is unexplained to you this does not make sense
As soon as that happens
You are back with it you are back within fire, but you are behind the building
And you hear you hear a conversation a huge conversation Ryan will discuss. Where is he? Where is he?
And Robin just goes I don't know. He just disappeared
He needs his boyfriend
I like peek kind of around do I see that the scary masked man? He's gone
And he discuss okay, hold on I'm going to go I'm gonna try locate him
Are you Coco?
I mean that's a good question
I mean that guy was scary, but he might be I guess
I'm worried. He's if I go back to them. They're gonna. He's gonna like track me to them
Can I try and like
sneak away
Just kind of like a little bit distance
Absolutely, I mean
I guess I want to know which way that guy went as well
Can I try and go in the direction that like bandaged man was do make a stealth check?
Okay, the DC is 22 because of Robin
Okay, Robin
All right, Robin
Do I have anything I can do that would help
with this
I do I have an extra
I have an extra
this I do I have an expertise die and
So we're gonna go ahead and make a stealth check
25 yeah
Get out there run away run away. I'll meet up with them again. I just I need to get the fuck out
Yeah, if he is targeting me, I don't want they don't want them going after like Reinwald and stuff
so yeah, I think I'm gonna try and like make my way like kind of thing and I
Guess I I wonder what the fuck is with this bandage man
So I'm gonna go in that direction and try and like see if I can like see where that man went
Okay, just like get like a like a bead on what what the fuck is up with that
Or if I can see see this where this mass man went one of the two go ahead
And make a perception check for me. Okay
I do have an expertise die
so
Perception is gonna be that and I'm going to add the eight that Tula gives us each once a day on perception
29 29
Once a day plus eight from Tula
So bitch, okay bitch so
You
Start making your you start making your way around
Buildings collapse buildings collapse. It seems like moments ago. This was an intense
battlefield now it is littered with the bodies of
Combatants both sides
Frayed sort of like disparate weapons thrown about
This battle happened seemingly so fast
it
senseless
but
your eyes
Continue to your eyes continue to you are focused on a goal
And when you are focused on a goal it is hard to get you it's hard to distract you
It's hard to distract you
You you eventually do hear Robin just get the robin Robin just goes okay, okay, we gotta go we gotta go
As as you see as you see they run away Ryan wall it seems run to his eyes still switch around he just goes
cool
Just seemingly just out of just like utter worry for you as he runs
I try and like know which way which direction they went so I can meet up with them as
You see two other war beasts
Jesus taking to the town
But the people but you helped you managed to help a lot of people evacuate
Your eyes can like these about as you run as you kind of like run through smoke
smoke and fires
live crushed livelihoods
But you feel you you are following the direction where you saw this where you saw this bandaged man went
Following along following along kind of like trying to look for any clues anything hidden on the ground
Everything so covered up by destruction
but
You do notice it
On the very far edge of town
Another one of the things that you notice is that you see a lot of people running around
edge of town and midst the midst the smoke a
fleeing set of uniform going deeper into honor a
small outfit of
a small outfit of individuals
There is there is um, there is a there's an air and soldiers
Faces I will say because you have 29 faces that you haven't seen among the battle
It's also wearing the armor and outfits anyways
And the one leading the charge running deeper into the north into an or
And you see that they're trying to keep a low profile they have no banner to have no torture it's nothing
On the front is the bandaged man
For me into an I kind of can I kind of tell how many um
You count among them. I'll give it to you. It is five
So plus him so it's six total
Do I get like a bead on like
Like general like the heritage makeup like deep things human
So definitely so definitely to me strangely enough only one human among them and an older man
He has an iPad great great hair
There are three teeth wings
And what seems to be a man with light elvish features you can assume to be a half elf
And then the bandaged man the bandaged man, I will say because you have a 29 perception
I'm gonna give you all of these large
Like very large make
His his mouth is definitely there and you see that he has like little tusks out you can assume or caretage
Yeah
My favorite and it's like I don't care that he started this fire
Maybe he has a reason no bring the fire here. What are you doing all the way over there?
Do I do I see the the masked individual anywhere no like like
I don't know what he's doing. I don't know what he's doing. I don't know what he's doing
Do I do I see the the masked individual anywhere no like like swinging through trees or some
grass grappling hook no
Okay, it'll be really cool. All right. Yeah, I just kind of like just
Like make a mental note of everything I see
And you hear
Hey, hey kid
Hmm kind of turn around a
a a a man on a horse seemingly like a little bit like
Maybe pushing into the maybe pushing to the 40s
large like
large make
Kind of like messy messy brown hair tied back into like like a man bun on top
Shaggy check check Shaggy hair on the front goes because he immediately like
Like rides up next to you looks at you up and down seeing your uniform. He just goes come on
I got you and holds out a hand towards you
Who are you?
I'm the guy that's gonna get you out of here. I'm a knight. Don't worry come on
Can I
Do I feel
Kind of like insight him does he seem you can insight yeah, okay?
All right
Do I have I do not have a does streetwise apply to this probably not right?
So this is just gonna be a flat roll this good. Wait, wait, actually you can make either insight or a culture check. I
Do have culture. Oh wait streetwise is the culture skill specialty. I
have proficiency in both
So unless streetwise applies it's just a 19
Okay, 19 um there is a
There is a fierceness in this guy's eyes a very solid
like
Even though he might not look like what you might think of a knight looks like in the book
He definitely has like the stature and you could tell that he's definitely just trying to get you to safety right now
All right, yeah, I'll come on. I
Love your horse by the way
Have a name. Thanks. Yeah, he probably likes you, too
Um, it was it his name's bookmark. Okay, come on

Oh shit, what the hell happened
Well, there was some black boars or maybe they were bulls
I still don't really know they're wearing armor, which you don't usually put on those and I just gap
That's rewrite he's
He doesn't take he doesn't make any attempt to stop you but he does ask for like directions at times. Um, yeah that way
Yeah, so anyway, Robin got this real cool shot off on it
This goes you from around here no, not at all actually I'm from East room
We're heading up to I or Brent what would you say so far away place? Sorry. This place is usually better
Yeah, I mean that's that's what I asked

Okay, just far enough listen we're gonna listen if we're gonna get you that we're gonna get you to safety
We've got a hell of a story to tell
Yeah
Sir sir Howells brings you to
Brings you towards the
Bring you towards the outsports. He just keeps following the direction you put away from the smoke and fog like oh yeah, it is daytime
You eventually get you and first it gets more clear air in the day and you see that there is a
Grouped up like sort of survivors that are being counted up outside
The I or Brent official that you were talking to in the building who was giving you like the stare down

She's goes everyone all right

Cole it's kind of like like cowl but like cowl, you know mean oh kind of sounds like coal
I know cool. It's we know cool. We know a really cool guy named Cole
Okay
All right, that's the bander nice, but I'll bend over you later it is what they both right away
Right Ryan walled completely bandaged up
Just goes
color
Yeah, color me he delivered interesting times
Very first thing that happened here
Coming into another coming to another kingdoms that we get involved into an armed conflict
Yeah, that's not what I was expecting from that sound out for this I
Mean I guess I don't know what I was thinking they say it was war school or something, right?
So I guess that it makes sense. Wait, is this just a part of the curriculum? Was this like a simulation or something?
Robin just goes no
Look, I don't know how this stuff works. I'm
I'm figuring this out
By the way, Robin, that was really cool. You were so cool back there
Yeah
Complete 180 my god Robin Julie you did a great job, too. Oh
Oh, thank you Coco. I
Was really I was very very very worried when you were gone, but you're here now
Yeah, you were so very good. I
Mean, you know
When you grow up kind I
Had like six siblings
So, you know, I mean you grow up kind of like learn how to wrestle with them and stuff
So, you know, yes six siblings big war board bulls ain't like it's not the bigger difference
I guess I guess I've also had multiple siblings, but I had to fight them for a position in the aristocracy
Aristocracy
What's that mean Oh
Is that like when you want to like sit at the chair at the dinner table kind of thing?
It's not a common concept in the common tongue
What
Uh, Reinwald's just stares at the fire just kind of like
You just brooding
basically
Yeah, I
Probably look over and stare at it with them
Once we're done, yeah
Do you think we could have saved everyone we could I
mean, I
I think we did pretty good that the mother and the child are over there
their life, yes, but
So Cameron I
Mean
We did we weren't near him when it happened
I mean don't tell anyone that we were just gonna say he died saving people
But perhaps if I could have found you sooner, perhaps if I you found me look I would have I would have been trapped
real bad
Building collabs in this head just when you did
His hand his face kind of like fully goes into his hands
Robin you did it good. Not Robin. Sorry, Ryan. Well, you did it. You did a good job. I
I
Probably would have been like under all that rubble if like even more rubble if you didn't come get me so
Yes, and I would have still been in that building if I went for you so
Sounds like make a good team
I hate for us to find out through this way specifically
Another another kingdom locked in war
Yeah, get as he's like talking I kind of look away just off at the like burning town stare at it
Hmm he just speaks without looking at you. Um, he just goes I
Hope our times I've written is going to be much more peaceful than this
Yeah, hopefully
Um
Yeah, let me try to he puts a hand out towards you to try and push push it more lay on hands
But the magic isn't coming through. It's all right
Kind of Pat his hand
And
Robin Robin goes
Yeah, probably lots of think about you being you striking against
Striking striking against someone under a banner
I'm sure it all be figured out. I mean you're under I were Brins banner so
But she guys aren't gonna go to pretty sure you are you guys are gonna be put in the war
Wait what
I'm good. Wait, wait, repeat that. I mean, I missed the first part
And then the second part you guys are alive. I miss the guys are alive
Yeah, and I
Am doing what I'm told
I'm gonna bring you guys there. I'm gonna guide you guys there alive and then
You guys can go to your house and then I can tell my leader about
Everything about this. She's some she's some rich noble kid or something. Oh
I'm gonna be real impressed with with you Robin. You were you really kind of saved the day really?
I think would have like that that board that's it like crush me. You know, I mean, yeah
You saw the arrow just gonna
It was really good. It was like a nice like clean. Yeah
It's like you were
You know, hey, you know, I'm not gonna discount what you did
You know, I'm all about we were about to we were
Both of you gonna look like you're gonna be like, oh my god
We were both of you were gonna look like you got you got freaking mmm, you know, like this the horn
Mmm, that was the happen. Yeah
And then you you cut you kind of like flailing about but I saw the opening I saw what happened
When I saw the opening I was like I
Gotta put a stop to this
Stop
I can't explain just how happy I am that you were there to save the day you are
But hey what word of advice yeah, it's all word of advice to all of you legitimately
Hey that was lucky
That right there
Everything that happened you almost died
We got lucky
We got lucky that I saw the opening and I took that shot
We did right. I'm so happy over there and Ryan Ryan what goes and I don't I don't regret a single second of
Going to the action. This pain is temporary
Those people could have lost their lives if we had not intervened you did a great job did a great job
Yeah, but you could have died listen to the words I'm saying
Yeah, no, we didn't die cuz you you saved us and everyone. Yeah, I know but I might not be there next time
well
You know just be there next time. You know, I mean like you're kind of a
Leader's house. No, wait a second. Wait a second. I
Don't really know how this house thing works. You said this is later there. I think you should be the leader
No, that's that'd be a big headache. I don't want to deal with all the politics of it all
I think you do a good job. You know what when we find the leader there, I'll tell her that
No, no, no, no, sir. No, don't
Okay, I don't want to look too important to be honest
Sir, no don't. All right. Okay. I don't want to look too important to be honest
Disgusting I have to say
If I look too important and she's gonna trust me with stuff and then I'm gonna
Mm-hmm, and then she's gonna be like, oh I'm gonna pay you so much money to be a mercenary for me. I don't want that
I think I was like do that probably she's a noble
So what they do they just give you kind of just give money people. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's kind of what happened to me
And
Seemingly you Reinwald at this conversation
Wait, well, do you have money? Are you just not handing it out?
Is that what is that what you're you're like some someone important, right? Do you do you just like hand out money as a robin saying?
On the air to a Duke and cadvarum
Your whatever was up to me I would the hair like a wig
Come again like a wig do you wear wigs?
You said you're you're you're like it's some Duke's hair at air air. Oh like I
Am I am constantly surprised at our cultural divide an air of like
The next line that succession to
royalty the the the male part anyways
Oh, you're like a princess, but like a like a boy so like a prince you got it. Yes
Wow
So you're like a king but like like not yet and that will be Robin just goes that's pretty cool
Hold on one second. What's this? What's what's what's a rich kid like you just running into fires and
Before is that what Kings do they like
They like people it is that says it is the obligation of
those
it says of those more privileged to others than to reach a hand down towards them and
Help those who are less privilege who are less privileged less powerful
That's favored by circumstances if I have the power to extend my hand out to someone I will do it
And
Robin just goes
Yeah
Yeah, you're gonna find out that's a little bit of expired mindset around here
Well, well Ryan wall this is talking like lean over to Tula and I'm like he's saying a lot of words and some of them
Are sticking I?
Feel inspired, but I'm not fully sure what he's saying. Oh, yes. He has a lot of um, she pulls out a
Handbook she she she looks through her like her arcane focus. It turns into a small arcane like handbook
she pulls out like the little a little like like a little notebook she just goes was that like a
Dictionary kind of thing it is it is a
Notebook like a train. No book. No, no, no notebook. No, it's like a notebook notebook
Yeah, like that notebook
Yeah, that's how you say. Yes. No. Okay. It is a notebook. Um, I
Have written down a lot of common really nice really really nice common words
He has a lot of
Conviction with a conviction that would conviction that word that that word that's just fuck. Why did you write that one down? Oh
I'm really telling you that one. I'm really interested in the colloquy listen
I've writing I've been writing down everything that Robin says Robin has been very interesting Robin
Okay, just well a lot of words. Don't say that one in front of like kids fuck
Yeah, yeah that
It's not like a polite word. My mama if she heard me say it she'd be washing my mouth out
While Robin and Ryan what are arguing in the back?
You see you are teaching Tula not to curse
Yeah, and I'm teaching her how to pronounce different words the correct way
To lose goes there's another there's another there's another word here
I don't I don't know. I don't know exactly
What it means? I know they based based is means like based in the location
But Robin has been saying it other ways. That's what you cook. That's how you cook
You like you like put gravy on like a turkey? That's basting. Oh
Gravy, what is that? It's like a like a meat sauce
The Knights come back
She's she's a raptured but like
Um
The Knights come back a few more shagas been picked up they are blood
They are a little bit bloodied, but they seem to be
Doing alright for the most part
Weapons covered it, but they've been at they've been fighting
And you see you see Kratt goes
Kratt goes any other any other of the young boys from I rubbed in so I
Just
Just um and how is goes these are all the these are all that we could find
These three are meant to go towards the gates of Ivor Brin
Can I trust in one of you nights to take sir Gavrin's mission I
Kind of push Robin forward a little bit. What are you pushing me for?
What you you got what I'm not a knight. Oh, I thought you were not
You do it. No, okay
In the future I'm gonna get
I mean, you killed a board a board ball thing. So yeah, I did
Sir I was goes
Yeah, I'll take him. I'll take him there
Unless that one wants to do the unless that one was it unless that one wants to do the task. I'm not a knight
I'm very obviously not a knight. It's like he's real good. It's gonna real good
Yeah, I killed one of the I could one of the other
Yeah, he's like took it down. He should have seen it was her cool. Yeah, what I?
I was telling you about it on the way over, you know, yeah. Yeah, I remember I remember that yeah
Yeah, so like I just saw the opening and the crack goes
the three of you needs the three of you you have um, I
Believe the inspection part is already done
The three of you go this the three of you go on ahead to uh forward up the road towards Ivor Brin
Says there will be an on does there will be an envoy there for you to take you further towards the school
Let's rest in Arafan tonight
Is that like a town
Yes up the road sir how sir how else I trust to know it
Up there right yeah, I got it
Excuse me, you keep saying three is Robin not come with us
You three have to all of house I mean, yeah, I'm coming with you. I'm also leaving you guys
All right, you just you kept living leaving them out. That's all I just wanted
That's
Just completely disregards you looks to sir Howells it just goes
I just got I just goes get them there safely. They are in your charge now
Yeah, of course
Crap
Yes
Yes, um, see sir how I walk up to the the woman discuss. Hey, yeah, I got a he's like, yeah
No, I get it
See you around badly
Yeah
Cuz they're like, all right kids and then Bradley's or who's the lady?
Bradley who's Bradley Bradley is she refers to that sir Howells so
First name Bradley last name Howells
And as he turns around he just goes
All right, you four let's and then and then she gives him the firmest smack in the ass
And she just goes get your sweet ass on out of here, okay, they're cannon got it
They're cannon and then
And then sir sir how sir Howells just goes oh, hey, we're on duty and
Then Tula writes down sweet
Oh
No, she's good
This is fan service for Jenny specifically
I feel like I might be reading into some but I like the two of you like a
Two like kissing or something
It's something like that. All right, come on
Something along those lines
We don't got a little got a little got a wagon you three are pretty important. I rather not have things happen
For four of us all four of us. Yeah for you
This goes
Now typically they move typically they would move you with a small like little group of soldiers, but
I'm supposed to say I'm supposed to fill in for all of them. So
The main thing I'm trying to keep an eye out is for any other like if there's any other like an errand folks around
Hmm and
And Robin just go Robin goes I've seen them scatter around they just did their attack and ran
Well, that's not gonna be our issue to figure this out I gotta get you all to safety come on
And
I'm gonna go with you all. I'm gonna go with you all. I'm gonna go with you all. I'm gonna go with you all. I'm gonna go with you all
I'm gonna go with you all
Bradley is the only one with the horse and is going to just
Ride off with you all walking behind
As we're kind of walking away, I want to turn just kind of look back at the burning town one more time
What do you see there when you look towards that?
Fire
Yes, I suppose that's the
I suppose that's the only subscription of it not good stuff a lot of bad stuff actually
You did what you could
And I'm glad to have someone who I can brave the front lines with
Yeah
Don't think I did not note your eagerness to run rush along by my side to help save those people
I mean you know
I mean
You're of a brave make yourself take pride in who you are
I mean I guess I just kind of pictured like I saw people getting hurt and I thought like
I don't know my you know I'm not from I'm from a pretty small town myself
So I'm just kind of I just kind of thought like you know what if my family was there you know my mean
So
That would I wouldn't want that to happen
If I had someone like you or I was just where I'm from I
Think perhaps my power would be to help you get to the top of the mountain
That's where I'm from I think perhaps my path would be extremely different
Yeah, I think it would
I think it would be real different if I was there
But it's good to know that there is a humble brave soul out there
Yeah
And the inclination was just to help people
Yeah
Perfect I mean it was it was pretty cool too. I mean there was there was you know well. That's all it needs to be
The inclination to help people not the cool part
I mean I think I think Robin likes the cool part. He won't admit it, but I think he does
It doesn't really matter to me
You can keep Robin goes
I was just I was just doing I was just saving people you're just kind of effortlessly effortlessly cool Robin
Yeah, I mean I was just doing what anybody would do to be honest. It's completely changing his story
I will cause
That man is vain
Well he kind of rallied us and like like led us into battle you know I mean to help all the people
I give him a wink. I feel like that was
I don't know what game you're trying to play at it trying to appeal to his ego, but
I don't know what game you're trying to play at it trying to
Out of respect for you. I won't that trip. I won't be a detriment to your plans
Appeal to his ego, but out of respect for you. I won't that trip. I won't be a detriment to your plans
Well, we're gonna be we're gonna be at school for a while. You know I mean so it
Make friends
Yeah, also, that's kind of what my mommy used to tell me to do say if you ever met someone who kind of was a little full of himself you kind of butter him up a little bit you know I mean
I say play him. That's what that's my mom always who said gods. I've had enough of that throughout my life
My mama used to sue I remember we used to have like family game that kind of thing and my dad
He was he was a real sore loser so sometimes we let him win and then we'd like butter him up. It was great
I
Have much to learn from you a
Lot of it says a lot of says a lot of our talking up and pushing upwards has been more attributed to
trying to gain the favor of nobles or
to trying to curry favor in order to
gain
Trying to gain prospects so we could forward our own deeds hmm
Prospect
Apologies, I'm a little dizzy. Oh, yeah, you got like kicked in the head
Yes, and Tula goes oh yes, and you've been impaled
Really like a skewer like a skewer
Yes, I happen to come up yeah
pop
Rather just a brat Bradley holds out a and told them pose it up on the horse
It just goes all right. I'm gonna get you guys a fan
See what happens when people pick you up there
Things are probably things have probably been thrown into chaos
So it's gonna be a while for people to figure out figure out where to go and what to do
so
Let's see says I'll see you guys get settled down and
And everything
Everyone's all right everyone's good to walk
Yeah, I mean outside. I think my mom's rad. Yeah, I mean yeah
The kids are really just the kids are really brave
Well we had a good leader on our side and I kind of tilt my head towards Robin and
I mean
Robin doesn't even think that like he's like yeah, I'm a good leader
Even though you guys didn't say didn't do anything that he wanted
So vainglorious as
The lot of you
began making your way
towards
Towards the Academy I am afraid we are gonna have to cut it short here
Because we have
Tonight uh, where's my fucking where's my fucking music? Okay. We're not leaving until I play the song dedicated to going to Irobran
Once I get I'm gonna search through my entire
Dedicated to going to Irobran the going to Irobran song. This was a song very important this this
I'm gonna search through my entire
Catalog dedicated to going to Irobran the going to Irobran song. This was a song very important
This is a song that is meant to be fucking played when Koal goes
It's school time late for the war school
Magic school bus
So much war already. We haven't had any war. We've just been chilling. We haven't had any war. We've had a lot of interpersonal
We had a mock battle and dating
We gotta sneak into the drama club in order to help save the integrity of my leaders date and meanwhile
Meanwhile is like fucking Koal's already seen more
We saw we saw we saw the guy who's supposed to lead us here get impaled and his body dangle from a fucking
The lower has been having the most relaxed time of the day
I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie
I'm a fucking the lower has been having the most relaxed time of everybody
My introduction was was buried under rubble in a burning building
burning building both of you both Lucia both of you started with
Smoke in your lungs fire. Yeah, I was gonna say as I said, we both did start with smoke
Not me. I'm healthy
I know Jenny's like I wore
She's like I'm great. If my dad gets a divorce, I'm gonna be happy. Oh, no, my life's only been improving dad
My new friend can see the future that's seems kind of cool although it's apparently doomed you
Hashtag rip. Oh, I doubt it. Hey guys psych. We're back in the game
I'm gonna say
as
Quick
Willa willa Lucia as
You as you just as Lucy you just told you just told the Lord that they're under attack
the door to one of the carriages open as one of the nights attending to them open, uh,
opens it up and
You
Seemingly staring like zeroed in on where this this wagon is
waiting to see who's coming out
though
The sounds surrounding you chatter at whatnot
begins to just mute
I'm seeing it live. I'm seeing you live
You hear you hear the sounds of rain
Thunder lightning flashes
Lightning flashes
And
Before you see the individual make their way out
Much like how you saw a barren battle and before
with the fallen of familiar faces around you
You feel a weight in your arms
Looking down your note on a field blood kicked up on your knees and legs
And a small air genasi boy held in your arms
Bloodied
Signing
And then dead
The wagon opens the chatter continues
As you see
For you
See
That
Next time on Iridon Break as we go forward to Iridon Break!
Yay!
Why are all my new friends cursed to die?
I know, Lucia never gets to meet anyone and not be traumatized beforehand and not go into
a conversation being, yes, they're gonna die!
Maybe I shouldn't be at war school, damn.
Maybe I shouldn't be at war school!
Good point, JT.
JT says, maybe it's her fault.
No it's not.
Maybe I was the BPG all along!
So Lucia kills me.
Let me write that in my notes.
Rip.
I didn't, yeah I guess I didn't tell you about the part where you were choking him out.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, no no no no no no.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
The Drag Race is not the victim blaming?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Victim blamers.
Yeah, Albert.
Am I not the victim in this situation?
Did you think about what your death would do to Lucia?
Did I just fucking victim blame?
I just blamed Albert and he is the victim and I accidentally victim blamed Albert for blaming
him about victim blaming.
Yeah you did.
There's so many victims, so many blames.
You can't spill- Find more next time!
You can't spill victim without Tim.
I hate that.
Yeah, it's in your nature.
And Vic.
Can't spill with Vic and Tim.
I miss you Victor.
You know, because one of us is named Vic here.
But yeah, I'm not gonna look up because I see I'm a peripheral, something I don't quite
like.
But yay!
Woo!
Happiness everyone!
We're gonna see- Welcome Albert!
Yay!
Welcome Albert!
Welcome back, rather.
Welcome back!
First returning guest.
We were so, we were so so so so so excited.
And happy to be back.
It's gonna be so much fun.
And I take, I take back calling you a rancorous skank earlier, I'm sorry.
Well, all I know is Reinwald is never leaving my hormone, ever.
I was gonna say, like, I think that's your new boyfriend.
He's, look, Tim gave me the list and I read Reinwald and I was like, Reinwald.
I immediately just like, I like posted in the song over chat and I was like, Tim is cooking.
If anything happens to him, I'm killing the entire school.
That's what I meant!
Yeah, you guys had synergy.
Like, you guys, I liked how you guys were interacting.
They're boyfriends.
Yeah.
It's like, Reinwald in his mind right now is like, dude, this is my right, this, this
boy holds up call, this is my right or die.
He is my brother, he is my bro, right or die.
Okay, I could kiss him.
And I will.
What?
I could be, I could be, I could be the royal consort.
I'm just saying.
Why the consort?
Isn't that what happens when you marry in?
Oh, is it?
Right?
Aren't you the royal consort when you marry in?
You don't get upgraded?
I don't know.
I just came from a little, little town off in fucking East Room.
We don't got that.
Yeah.
I don't know what that is.
When you marry, you upgrade into like something else, but a consort, I believe is just like
a boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever.
Like we're just.
Oh, consort is not married.
We're just chillaxing with each other.
Married is like, then you get to be like Duke of Dutchess Lord Lady.
Wow.
King Cole.
Think about that.
And on that note.
Thank you all so much for watching.
Cutting a little early here, but you know, a little bit of short episode, but we got
to where we need to be.
And we got Albert here and he's with us and he's ours.
And my time is numbered.
Again, I'm going to cut that out of the recording.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for coming, everyone.
See you next week.
And see you next time.
Bye.
but injustice strains all your loyalty Desire and duty is the balance between
The winds have been whispering love what's to come
Foreboding whispers whispers to thunder Your castle walls crumbling one by one
Against the blood red sky, right on fandom
I fight for what's right
Some may call me naive
But nothing can put out the flame in me
The goddess of spring, life and death she bring
Taken from war, raised in items ministry
Two silver lions from different packs
I shed off my shelteredness, freedom at last
I pray what I've seen does not have to be done
For the winds have been whispering
The winds have been whispering
Of what's to come
