Thanks for listening.
Hello everyone and welcome back to Songwulven.
I am Tim Don Tran, your DM.
There's not going to be a bit this week, don't worry about it everyone.
Now you might be thinking, oh he's going to set up a bit.
I'm not doing a bit.
Can we please introduce ourselves from left to right, our names and what kind of superpower
would you want?
That's not part of the bit.
Hi, my name is Jenny Sherbard and I play Cecilia Idlewind and my superpower that I want is
the ability to learn anything extremely quickly.
And I am Eva Roscoe and I am a player character, a PC, a portable confusionist here on Songwulven.
If I could have a superpower, it would be shape shifting.
What would you be shaped into?
Oh I would fuck with people.
It's why changing is such a dangerous, it's why changing and disguised self are such dangerous
entities to me.
It's because I want them in real life.
I would turn into the best version of myself, aka me right now.
Yay!
We love it, self love.
I suppose my superpower would be something along the lines of like, oh gosh I would think
about it like, super strength, super speed, stop time, all those kinds of stuff.
But you know what, and this is not part of the bit, everyone's thinking I'm setting up
for something here but I'm not.
There's no bit.
I would love acid spit.
I would love for my spit to be corrosive, to burn through anything.
It would make so many jobs easier, it would make if there's a heckler in the crowd I can
deal with them handily.
And you know, it just kind of fits who I am, you know, the DM, detrimental mucus.
I fucking knew it.
DETERMENTAL MUCUS.
PORTABLE CONFUSIONIST AND DETERMENTAL MUCUS.
Those two sound like superhero names.
What's your PC?
Party confetti.
Done.
And there is the cast of Songwobin.
Welcome.
This is our MCU debut.
This is our superhero name, the Avengers.
Party confetti.
PORTABLE CONFUSIONIST AND DETERMENTAL MUCUS.
Go fight the worst of the world this universe has to offer.
There's a one shot in there.
Oh, don't tempt me.
We might, we might.
We'll see.
Oh, there's actual ideas coming now.
But we're not gonna go into that.
But beyond that.
Do we want to hit anybody with a couple of announcements?
We are affiliate.
Apparently, it finished reviewing the stuff I'd submitted like on Friday.
As we were in the lead up to the stream, it wasn't ready earlier today.
It wasn't ready before it approved while we were streaming.
And so that's why we're delayed.
But we're affiliates.
And now you can subscribe to us and we're gonna make channel points later.
We have time to set any of it up because it did it right now.
But we finally did it.
We don't have to beg for followers or try to do test streams to try to get seven streams
in a month.
Hours in our hands now.
Okay, now the next step is partner.
Everyone, call your friends, call your family.
I'm kidding.
Wait, wait, what's partner?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we are far from that.
Don't worry about it.
No, even if you hit the requirements for partner, which are way above what we're at, they don't
approve you just because you have the requirements.
They manually decide who they want to be partners.
No, no, no.
I will take our affiliate with pride.
We have Pokemon emojis now.
We have gotten here through blood, sweat and absolute tears.
I sang my ass off in those little streams that are not archived.
And for those listening in the future, you missed out.
You're not going to see what those are ever.
One night only.
I was forced to bite my teeth on the throne of the foundation that Twitch has set before
me.
And now I am reaping my tasteful awards.
But anyways, because it looks like I'm going to get moved along here.
Thank you all so much for thank you.
Thank you all so much for watching.
For everyone who has watched every single stream and has come along and for everyone
who has popped by and for everyone in the future who is listening now.
Thank you sincerely all so much from the bottom, from the bottom of our hearts.
You are lightning in a bottle.
You are starlight in an inkwell and you are part of our great little journey.
Our songs woven into our tapestry.
Test stream song is in the chat.
I was just informed that someone clipped the test stream song.
So I wonder who clipped it.
There will be physical punishments for this.
Other than other than that, that's what we do here on Song of Will.
We make promises and we don't break them.
We'll get there eventually.
Let's see.
I believe that's it.
Am I correct?
Yep.
I will say for this particular stream, we do not have ads figured out yet.
Keep in mind, we just hit affiliate right before the minute timer went up for us to
start rolling the stream.
So we delayed it a little bit and I went to check ads and they gave me a seven, a seven
page, like thing and how to make ads work.
So I enabled pre-roll ads, but apologies if you get something in the middle of it.
I tried to make sure that the ads are as short as possible for you to enjoy.
By the time the next time we roll around, we'll get it all figured out.
Please let us know if they do this so we can actually stop because hopefully they won't
play in the middle.
They'll just play at the beginning when you click on the stream, but I don't know yet.
I think it said something about like an hour and a half in, which I think I have my eye
on the clock here.
We'll take a break around that time.
We shouldn't with pre-roll though.
We'll figure it out.
Give us a holler if you're like, yo, there's a car on our screen.
Yeah.
So with that said, why not?
Last game, we, it was raining like crazy.
So we weren't going to get to velvet tide in time and we knew there was going to be
a full moon tonight and we were worried about Jaime being a werewolf.
So we went to pine blossom instead, which was, seemed super suspicious and culty and
haunted.
And they were like, Hey, you can stay at the old manor.
The dark manor is what they called it.
They also said you could stay with us.
And I was like, absolutely fucking not.
Yeah.
No.
We were going to stay at the dark manor, but we're just keep an eye out for, well, keep
your ears out for the voices, you know, it's like supposedly haunted and stuff.
But everyone was super weird.
We went there.
And crazy stuff started happening.
Our group got split up.
Everything.
We were getting like seeing these like shadows and we're fighting, trying to fight them.
And it seems like Jaime and Seller got turned into dolls, but it was all not true.
Claude and Cecilia realized that that wasn't real.
And we found a room, a secret room with this guy who turns out to be a horror author in
it.
And he was like, he was just trying to get reactions to learn how to write the book,
but he had led Jaime and Seller outside in the middle of the night.
And we hear howling outside and Jaime turned into a werewolf, hurt Seller.
A guard came by and shot at him.
We managed to yell at him to run away, though, and we managed to subdue Jaime.
But then he gets shot with a silver bullet that was from the shade, now using his gun
in a hunter form.
And he has this wolf at his side.
Previously had been very personally angry at Cecilia and John Claude.
He's beef.
You betcha.
He's beef.
So much beef.
I already used both my second level spells, so.
Oh, wait, what am I at?
And I used two first level spells already, but I healed Jaime, so that was one of them
at least.
Well, I'm going to squish squish.
Oh, I haven't used, I've only used one.
Wait, did I use any of them?
I don't think I did.
I don't think so.
No, okay, I'm good.
I'm going to squish him.
Oh, right.
Before we begin, little side tangent.
Me and Jenny have always talked about what would happen if a player character at any
time meets the DM and the player, the person who is the cause of all of the possible suffering
and such.
I like to think that you guys meeting the horror writer was a glimpse into what would
happen.
Oh no, it would be far worse.
Oh yeah.
The horror writer is not off the hook is all I'm fucking saying.
Oh no.
Versus other priorities.
You stepped over the line.
I'm kidding.
He's going to get his ass fucking whooped.
All right.
With that said, let's get into some D&D shall we?
Thunder.
A man stands before you in a long duster jacket.
He has a spotted leather hat on with holes in it.
It seems to have deteriorated.
Around the middle of the hat is a twine of rope wrapped around it.
Compared to the previous one, compared to your previous opponent whom you've met at
the first draft in, this person is much leaner, has a much more sculpted sort of face.
His intimidating eyes are veiled by the brim of the hat.
The last one didn't have a huge wolf standing next to him, proud downs and a pouncing stance
at the ready.
Little wisp of shade coming off of it.
You see as he loads another bullet into his rifle, Jean-Claude, you immediately take a
position between the three others behind you, shield and hammer at the ready, facing, being
the only bastion between this person and his three companions, Cecilia.
As you pulse healing energy, streaming it into Jaime, as he slowly begins to seemingly
morph back into his state, his wolf-like, his werewolf features, morphing back into the
familiar Jaime that you know.
His hair is now completely untied.
It is frazzled.
It is everywhere on the ground.
You see the bullet wound begin to heal up, but you also see the blood as little wisps,
like it's hot and boiling, emanating from his body.
But he's still breathing, wide-eyed, looking up towards the sky as rain pelts all of you.
The man before you looks up towards you, Jean-Claude.
I don't think you're going to like how this ends.
You got the show?
Why don't we make this easy?
Consider this a generosity, considering that I'm in an advantaged state.
What are those mood shards?
Me and my friends leave you alone.
While he's talking, can I cast Shield of Faith?
Absolutely.
So, just so you know, I still have Enchanted Armor from that random man.
So it goes from 19 to 21.
Balgrim Blaster.
You have a shield too, right?
Yeah.
So 23?
Well, I was already taking into account the shield.
I think, yeah, 21.
Yay, thanks for subscribing, JT.
JT subscribed.
Whoa, hey bud.
Thank you so much.
Subscribers.
Yay.
And as he has, you know, he quickly flicks his wrist that has the beads on his bracelet,
create a throw-up, a shield of gentle light.
And he says, I have a feeling that you cannot take these shards.
This is the third time?
This is third time's the charm?
Well, you and your buddies.
As Claude is talking to, I try to be like, to Stellar.
I be like, Stellar, can you hide me inside the house?
There we go.
There we go, Jenny.
This is why I love playing with Jenny, because she knows what I'm trying to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you going to stay out here?
She's helping hide me up.
I can't leave him alone.
She just, she just like, she just up to you and quickly takes you by the hand.
There's a quick, just a quick snatch of the hand.
She just goes, make it through, like you always do.
You're going to get, you are going to get a inspiration die.
As she picks up Jaime, this loud groan, sort of like escapes Jaime as she picks him up.
And starts hiding inside.
As she goes inside, you see the eyes of the man kind of like follows, kind of follows
them, but his gun doesn't raise.
And you all watch as she opens the door to the hut, you see the rider for an again.
So that doesn't know, but she just seems like surprised at first, but walks by.
I am hearing a small echo of myself from one of you.
Hold on.
It did a little bit last time, but not enough that it was important.
I'm going to have to figure it out right quick.
So channel points are working.
Nice.
Maybe refresh my chat so I can start earning channel points.
Me too.
I want to stockpile.
Oh, modify a single amount.
Oh, there's so many cool things in here.
I can now highlight my insults to me.
Nope, it didn't help.
It sounds fine right now.
It's hard to tell.
It's just like, oh boy, fun.
I hear nothing.
You hear nothing?
Now I hear you guys.
Oh gosh.
Maybe I shouldn't have done so many thunder.
Okay hold on.
I think it's getting so old.
He can barely hear me.
Oh my God.
He's 36.
He can't live.
He doesn't have much longer.
Is it still getting the echoing guys?
Not right now.
I'm going to go ahead and speak a whole bunch.
No I don't hear it.
There is a bit, but I don't think it's a big deal.
It'll be okay.
Okay, I'll be quiet.
So.
I turned you down a little bit actually.
Nope, I'm going to keep this email.
He sees you cast this shield of faith over yourself as this ethereal protective force
carries over you Jean-Claude.
From your, emitting from your bracelet, he just goes, you're not working with me here.
By the looks of that it looks like you want things to go down another way.
Well who are you working with?
Maybe if we share our little information we could get to know each other better.
After all you tried to drown hell and he points to Cecilia.
And you got your ass whooped by a drunken captain so.
Other iterations of me, yes.
Okay.
Now you're dealing with me.
And on the rare chance you guys beat me, you're going to be dealing with a lot worse.
Why do you need the shards?
No.
I'm going to tell you what is going to happen in the future.
On the rare chance you do win.
You beat me and my wolf here.
You walk away bloody slumped over full of bullets.
You're going to get pursued to the very end of this continent.
It's not going to stop at me.
It's not going to stop at the other iterations of me.
And how far are you exactly along your journey?
Why do you care?
No.
Give me one of those moon shards though.
Smooth sailing.
As far as you want.
I mean you don't need all of them, do you?
Actually I do.
What for?
They told me.
Okay.
He kind of like holds up his rifle a little bit.
Yeah he just goes.
This ain't going to stop.
Would you at least like to introduce your company?
Your crew?
Would you like to have your little evil intro?
To the folks who are, you know.
I think if you're going to be chasing us down if you're obsessed with us as much, at least
we should know who you are.
Well personally I wouldn't call myself evil.
Just your opposition.
No you're just charismatic.
Oh opposition!
Okay.
That's good.
That sounds somewhat stout.
So the opposition.
That's your group.
You can call me Phaleas.
That is it.
You... what?
Yeah.
Phaleas.
Yeah.
Me.
The other iterations.
All of you are Phaleas.
And why do you want the moonshine?
Just one.
Because it's what I've been sent to do.
And now you know the most of what you will know.
So now what should be going through your head is the deal I've made before you and the risks
you have ahead of you.
Good adventurers think about that kind of stuff.
And we should hurry up.
From what I've heard, Gaara's coming along the way.
And I'm working on double time so...
Jean-Claude just looks at Cecilia.
She's gonna channel divinity.
Let's fucking go.
You channel divinity.
The moon.
The moonlight begins to emanate from your holy symbol, encompassing you all in a soothing
light.
As soon as he sees that, you see the wolf kind of like looking at it.
Just eyebrows narrow as it looks up towards Phaleas.
And Phaleas just goes...
Alright.
We're doing this.
Yeah it's kind of hard to take back into drowning.
We'll go!
So the temporary hit points won't start until...
Oh.
Initiative.
It started.
Go ahead and roll it.
It's on.
You get them.
Oh wait, I get to roll twice from my blessing.
I have a four.
I rolled four and two.
You know what?
I'm proud of you.
I have minus one initiative.
Let me see what I...
Okay.
I got 21 for initiative.
Will it just be me with the hit points to start or also Claude?
It'll be also Jean-Claude.
Okay, so we'll both get 1d6 plus three.
We'll both get five.
This is going to be a teaheater of the mind because...
Oh, a teatra of the mind.
Cha-cha of the mind.
Because...
So to put it lightly, there's not much on this battlefield.
It is a straightforward shot between you and this man.
You are 60 feet away.
Oh wow, that's far.
How far was it?
60.
So in reality, the conversation was like, you guys want to do this?
Get shot.
I thought he was looming over us.
As JT said once, Jean-Claude doesn't know how to lower his voice, so it all makes sense.
He just ends the weapon.
Jean-Claude, you are ready.
Your turn.
My turn.
So I'm going to keep my...
It's concentration, Shield of Faith.
So I'm going to keep that up for the time being, but I'm going to throw my javelin at
this bro for funsies.
All right, throw it at the bro.
Go for bro.
Throw it at the bro.
Broski.
One second.
Javelin does a 23 hit.
It does, yes.
Absolutely.
Yay.
Do you move 30 feet closer?
Oh, I have to move 30 feet, don't I?
Unless it's...otherwise it's a disadvantage.
Yep, I'll move then.
Good point.
Thank you.
I just wanted to check.
I forget, theater of the mind, I forget where we are.
Okay, so now I'm 30 feet away.
Got it.
Five piercing damage.
And I don't think I can add on a divine smite unless it's melee, correct?
It has to be a melee attack, yes.
Yep, that's all right.
I'm just giving him a little taste of my javelin.
You...so rushing towards them, you just pull out your javelin in lipic style.
It spirals through the air.
He moves...he tends to move out of the way, but you see he catches the sleeve of his duster,
creates his large like dash on his arm.
As he clutches it, he just kind of glimpses.
The wolf barks, just begins to snarl and howl at you at this kind of aggression, and he
just goes, he just goes, get him!
Come to me, puppy!
The puppy will hither.
The puppy will hence hither.
You see, as soon as he receives his command, all the four feet begins to pather towards
you.
It's not cute.
As he just jumps towards you, it's going to make an attack.
Nine!
No.
All right.
There's no heat.
Bad dog.
Bad puppy.
You throw up your shield and it just kind of like clutches to your form.
You're pushing it back, but as it's kind of like pounced on you, you see it's just pushing
towards you with this mouth rapidly trying to bite at you, but just barely getting in
front of your face.
That's probably like the shield of faith.
I hate that it's shield of faith, but you know what I mean.
The shield of faith is making it all shimmery and shiny and glittery.
Yeah.
It's such a direct antithesis towards this dark, shadow-made creature that this sparkly,
very holy-bound barrier is fighting against it.
It is good and evil clashing against one another.
All right.
It's now the stranger's turn.
Which whose name is?
Stranger.
Farleys.
Farley.
Oh.
What?
Chris Farley.
Farley.
Chris, fuck you, man!
Don't make fun of him.
He's cool.
Please.
Well, Farley.
Listen, if he didn't try to flat out drown Cecilia episode one, I might have forgiven
him, but-
And then threatened to the second time.
And then threatened to, like, I just, I can't, I can't.
That didn't work.
Hold on.
Detect that, so-
Nine misses.
I'm kidding.
There we go.
Does a 14 hit you, Jean-Claude?
Nope.
Nope, 21 with the armor and also with the shield of faith.
So 21.
As he just aims and fires at you, the bullet actually goes through his, goes through his
wolf, but hits your shield.
It kind of like, it's kind of like hits you back a little bit, a little recoil.
But-
What?
You can't fight a drunk?
Oh dear.
I'm just going to pay back.
He just goes, give it time.
Just super calm.
He is very different from that screaming, bar, raging seven foot tall barbarian.
It is a different person.
It was like a different person altogether.
It's funny because last time you are, you know, in quite a rage.
So now you get to see mine.
He just goes, all right then.
As he loads in another round, just let me have it then.
Cecilia, it's your turn.
Okay.
I would like to guiding bolt him.
That's the best.
Okay.
His nickname was the unapologetic racist since last time.
Yeah.
He's had, he's had a character development since the last time.
Now he's an apoligetic.
Why do we call him that again?
How much of the inspiration died before?
It would be a six.
It probably won't hit still.
If I use it, I'll use it.
Why not?
I probably should save it, but I wouldn't use it because this is my spell slot.
It's a nine to hit.
A one.
That's okay.
He steps off to the side and he does the, he does the thing as he does his little dodge.
He holds onto the top of his hat.
As his large streak of light causes winds to erupt, his duster coat kind of like frolics
up a bit.
He looks so cool when he does that.
To me, to me.
You're really trying to save him.
He's cool to me.
Trying to justify my name's Follies.
This is your new, instead of the previous hit points, you have seven hit points.
Temporary hit points.
Instead of five, it's seven or do I add to it?
It's different.
Replace it with this.
Replace it with seven.
Got it.
Because at the end of your turn, I get to give it to you.
Got it.
Thank you.
I'll move closer so that Claude doesn't leave my moonlight range.
He will use a legendary action to shoot you, Cecilia.
Oh, let me end my turn real quick.
I have nine temporary hit points now.
Just stay behind my shield.
Sorry, that doesn't mean to roll advantage.
No.
Twenty to hit?
Yeah.
No.
Make a con save.
Okay, I don't take any damage though, at least.
Because it did eight damage, so it doesn't get through my temporary.
I made a ten con save.
You take four additional necrotic damage.
That gets through it.
This is not a direct hit again because it has a drill through your protection from your
channel of divinity.
But you notice that your wound is actually beginning to fester and hurt, and it's already
bad.
You look at it and it's already beginning to turn purple.
As he just puts the gun down, he goes, the two of you got infected with the most deadly
disease of all time.
With that said, Jean Claude, it's your turn.
Use my rest to 30 feet of movement and smack his ass with my axe.
The wolf will make an attack of opportunity on you.
As he can.
Go for it.
Pup, pup.
16?
Nope.
Okay, absolutely.
I shove through the dog.
You throw him to the side and it gives you a straight line towards the person.
He's charging.
Yeah.
Jean Claude's rage now activated.
And then I'm going to swing with my battle axe.
One handed.
Did I click it?
Nope, I did it.
Now I clicked it.
18 is 18 hit.
An 18 does hit.
Or is it?
Actually, it was a 19.
It was a 19.
It does hit.
Both hit.
I'm going to take it.
So with the 19, six slashing, and I'm going to add on a smite because that technically
because it's a special move, it shouldn't break my shield concentration spell, correct?
It has to be another concentration spell that takes precedent over.
So this will hit.
Perfect.
So six slashing and then if I use one second, one second, one second.
Sorry guys, still learning.
Pallies.
Pal cloaks.
Pallie babies.
One spell slot.
Two D8 radiant.
And then because is this undead or fiend?
I can't remember if last time.
It is one of those.
Okay cool.
So it's three D8.
Yes, three D8.
Okay, cool.
So give me one second.
Let me mark that off on my spells and let me roll three D8.
I hope this thing can't do the thing that it did last time as the barbarian.
He took the personal man.
Sorry guys, trying to find my dice real quick.
One second, one second, one second.
There's so many things happening at once.
Three D8, 12 points of radiant damage plus the six slashing.
Slashing, gotcha.
He throws up his rifle to defend himself from you.
You smash through it.
It breaks his rifle in two and collides directly into his chest.
As the divine smite beats away the shadows and hits him, he skids back clutching his
chest.
You see some of the divine energy as he kind of like lets up his hand, begins to absorb
into his form.
Can I use a speak thing?
Oh absolutely.
And John Cluck goes, you are pathetic.
Look at you.
This is a stale time and you have yet to fail me.
Take a D8 inspiration die.
As he clutches his chest, you see the divine energy begins to like spark in his face and
he goes, well this is the second time you've done this.
Looks like you haven't learned yet.
As another rifle appears in his hand.
So what?
I'm gonna smack your ass again.
In his, he's going to, is that the end of your turn?
Yes, I had to say my little thingy.
He will use a legendary action to raise up the rifle and just smash you in the face with
it.
Now he's just petty about it.
Oh, but as long as you're within five feet with him, he'll have disadvantage on any
ranged attacks.
So that's nice.
Good point.
15 does not hit.
Still have the shield of faith up.
Your divine, some of the divine energy from your smite appears at the butt of his rifle
really quick.
He just attempts to take a hit towards you, but your armor takes the brunt of the blow.
The divine smite still on there, but not fully traversing into you.
It is very similar to the last time.
Jean-Claude starts to darkly chuckle.
That's my thing.
Now it's my thing.
It is now the wolf's turn.
You see as the currently engaged in a melee, the wolf seems to turn towards Jean-Claude,
but stops for a moment and then turns towards Cecilia immediately.
It's going to attack you, Cecilia, with a big bite.
14.
14 misses.
Can I hit one attack?
One.
Two attacks, I mean.
I hit one earlier.
We both have armor and shields.
Vengeance!
Forgot him!
You're an animal lover, Cecilia.
So you with your hammer, you actually have to hold it in place as the wolf bites over
your hammer and is trying to push against you.
It is trying everything it can to try and kill you.
Bad.
No.
Okay.
This is great.
I'm doing really good so far.
No, usually when this happens, you start rolling really good at the end, though, and I don't
like that.
That's why I'm manifesting.
I need to manifest it.
No.
No more manifesting.
22!
Oh, shucks McGuckal, guys.
I'm doing so bad.
Come on, RNG.
You got this.
So it comes to Farleys' turn.
After his failed attempt at giving you a rifle butt, he reaches for the dagger on his hip
and pulls it out.
He's going to go...
Gosh, what's that musical called?
Freaking...
Fast and Furious?
South Side Street.
West Side Story?
West Side Story, baby.
No!
That's what I meant all along.
No!
Side Street!
As he pulls out a dagger...
Don't laugh at him.
This is a serious fight.
This is Life or Death.
He pulls out his dagger.
Too many times I've seen that one too, Emma.
Yeah, I have.
I watched the movie.
And he's going to stab you.
Is that Chicago?
He's going to stab you now.
Not like that he's not.
He might be.
We might with that.
Life's really hard sometimes.
I guess you could say it's a hard knock life.
I missed.
I wrote a 14 and a 13 for a total of nothing.
That's what happens when you try to stab with your throwing daggers.
You should have thrown them.
become a small dodging game for you Jean-Claude. Try not to let this knife hit you at all.
Hey I'm just saying we have a game tomorrow man.
JT's in one of our other games.
And he is in a position. So with that said, not a cool as a fight as I think so far but we'll see.
We'll see. It'll pick up. I'll give my look around. Cecilia and Jean-Claude you're up next.
I only have one spell slot so now I need to save it for healing. I'm gonna cast the spell. I'm
gonna cast Sacred Flame on Farlius. Me penciling my head to look at my notes about his name I just
learned. DC 13 dexterity saving throw. 24. That succeeds. Hey guys I'm gonna do something this
fight maybe eventually. I'm proud of you. Keep the moonshards safe. He does kneel as he whips
as he wisps off the flame. He bends around you as he's slashing at you.
Jean-Claude he didn't twist around you and he tries he comes to get a shot off at Cecilia.
Here's my temporary hit points for me. Nine again. You've been rolling so good.
I wish I knew how to do that.
13 misses. Why does it miss?
Okay everything's okay guys. Come on cheer for me. Come on chat.
So with that said we are gonna head over to Jean-Claude's turn.
Jean-Claude is gonna do another Axe down on him. He's not happy. He angry cow man.
Nope 12 does not but I can add my d8 inspiration right? Yes you can. I'm gonna do that because you
gave it to me so I can use it. Which brings it to 17. It does hit. I take it back. Okay yeah.
No it's. So then and that will be 11 slashing and I'm gonna add my last spell slot aka my
last Pally smash. What the fuck are they called? Pally smash.
Pally smash. So give me one second. That's 3d8 you said right?
Last time we think we turned into 3d8. So that's 11. Okay. I've divine.
Are we? So you have been getting all your hits in and you feel completely fine. He hasn't been
getting you at all. At this point as it comes to the end of your turn is there anything else you
want to do? Oh yes I do and as he raises this time he raises the axe and just you know tries
to go into his shoulder and he's gonna lean into him and say it was not a smart idea to shoot the
boy when he's down. And he's digging the axe into his shoulder with divine energy radiating from it.
As he's actually grimacing and you're just pushing down on him.
Sorry next time I'll do it. Next time I do it I'll do it with a smile.
You're a fucking nerd. No you.
Maybe in future iterations we'll have better judge talking.
The other guy the other guy he was on top of it. This guy.
It's like resetting the janets in the good place eventually.
All right with that said it's going to be the wolf's turn.
He turns around looking towards looking towards Jean-Claude and you see that the the shadowy orbs
that his eyes glow red. Jean-Claude make a wisdom saving throw. Oh no.
I'm not very smart.
But I am proficient in it. 17.
You fucked with my friends and you said personal shit and now it's my vengeance.
This is the moment. Jean-Claude you feel this sense of like this this this like spreading
paralysis that starts at the core of your heart but you just move your you move your arms and you
feel your faith you feel your faith in what you believe in what towards what you are most
passionate about begin to beat away at whatever is inside of you. As he shakes it off he says
as he shakes it off he says a maggot like you would never be able to wield the moonshine.
Yeah you you're you are definitely the highlight of this fight right now you are the you are the
you are the you are the bastion. I'm angry. I'm angry at the writer I'm angry that I hurt
Jaime's feelings I'm mad. Beat them up beat them all up I'll just watch.
Isn't that just one versus two considering everything. Farleys you see kind of like opens
up his rifle takes out the bullet that he had put inside and he and he places in another
another seemingly round with a sort of black tip.
Jean-Claude as you see you see as he loads it in you see that the bullet has carvings on it
and you see that it says Cecilia it's carved onto there.
We got a is this a Percy de Rolo?
No that is cool but just as deadly as I make this really cool shot.
Someone please clip that. Does 24 hit?
Uh yeah yeah I guess it does if I feel like it right now.
You take oh wait he has disadvantage because Claude's within five feet. Um okay he had
advantage from the fact of from the bullet he's using so it's gonna it evens out to 24.
Okay. Oh good call I didn't even know that.
Okay four damage doesn't get through my temporary. Um you take it and you take an additional
24 points of damage. That would have been my hit points if it weren't for the temporary.
That would have been your hit points? Yeah if I didn't have temporary hit points.
24 is exactly how much I had left um so I'm almost dead now then.
The arrow not the arrow the bullet fires it goes through you um it goes through you Cecilia but
not only that it stops in the air as it goes behind you and it just enters back through into
your back um go um seemingly making this ricochet effect um around you before it finally stops.
You have been pierced multiple um time it and um it's it really hurts um
yeah as a bullet has entered you uh multiple times this magical seemingly uh a bullet um
um uh for his bonus section he's going to reload and as he reloads um Jean-Claude you see a bullet
says Jean-Claude on it. Jean-Claude will go come on am I not aware of the opponent keep your eyes on me.
Here's goes just trying to be smart.
Um so Cecilia your turn. Okay um I'm gonna take my war hammer and hit the wolf in front of me
because I'm not seeming to do much to this other guy and this thing is just going to be
and this thing has been right in my business so I'm gonna do that. Right in my business and I'm
tired of it. Smack him up. 15. That. One second. I got new by heart that does hit yes. Okay it takes
four bludgeoning damage um and bonus action I'll take my greater healing potion.
All right 20 hit points. What does that do again? 20. Okay I'm fine again unless he does another
that much damage but he's attacking you next I think so um and my end my turn and get the
hit point temporary hit points another nine. Oh my gosh stop it. Oh dude you need more you haven't
gotten hit yet so you don't need. Yeah she was in a lot of pain so she drinks the health potion.
Oh it is it is so alleviating no wonder adventurers take these things this is awesome.
Um at the um at the top of the round as he loads the other bullet in he he just goes
he uh he just goes you two have amassed enemies in a record amount of time. He goes
what tends to happen is that when you keep on living vengeance starts getting amassed on you
because it'll weigh you down and when does and when all of it's at its heaviest
that's when I'll show up.
Luz why don't you just fuck off and go find some other magical means.
End over the moon shard.
How many times is it my turn yes absolutely. He goes how many times do I have to say this
no he's gonna swing down again um with his axe.
I have a feeling this is where world 20 starts to defy me yep. Oh that just hits. Really? This
guy doesn't have armor on he's just got a jacket because he's so cool. He's got a fucking jacket
it's all right I'm taking John Claude is not a he's honorable not in that way though um
nine slashing damage as John Claude says ow and smashes down again.
As you um as you slash slash the axe in as you slash the axe into him so far you've been very
successful in your assault which has emboldened you even further and further um he pushes the axe
off from like you have bedded it into his shoulder and then into his arm he pushes it off um but you
are creating gashes into him. The wolf is going to look towards um is it the end of your turn?
Yep that's it. All right the wolf is gonna look towards you. You still don't need new temporary
hit points right? I don't have to re-roll it yet. No. Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna hit him
I'm gonna hit him and then and then you will roll and then everyone's gonna be happy.
Um the wolf will look towards you uh Cecilia. Make a wisdom save.
Watch me fail this one because Claude got to succeed. He's done. He's 15. Yay. That's six
fucking seeds. Yay. Um you feel the same thing um Cecilia um the paralysis but something inside of
you warm inside maybe something the moon like gives you the courage to beat everything away um
the wolf cries because he hasn't done anything in combat.
Um and now it's Folly's turn who just uh as you take an um as you're swinging and continue your
assault he finally manages to like just duck under place the gun upright upright against your um
up your chest and he fires. Not my beautiful boobs. Just normal. 21. That is the AC with the
shield. So the shield spell drops and I lose my one additional AC so now I'm back to 18.
And the crowd goes wild. But it held up for a good amount of time.
You take 34 points of piercing damage. Um temporary hit point.
18. The bullet. What's seven plus 28? Seven plus 28 is 35.
I have one left. Oh my gosh. The bullet blasts through you and and much like Cecilia it just
ricochets into and through you multiple times. Um and as he as he fires that you see that the gun
uh smoke barely out of it he just kind of like looks at you um he just goes
hey where'd that fire go? It's still here. I'm still fucking standing.
Concentration on shield of faith right? Yeah roll a concentration check.
Oh you have to be a 17. Have to beat a 17. Okay. Con save. Con save 17 okay.
Oh I just assumed it was gone so I'll take a con save it.
Okay. No. Bye-bye shield. Bye-bye shield. It's okay. I get crunched. Sad.
He's sad. But it held up for a good amount of time. Yeah it did help.
All right with that said um Cecilia. You don't have many more of those. I don't think. No.
That was a one-time special. He spent he spent a craft night planning this all out.
Garving it. He had his little minis. He had like his little map set out and he was so excited.
Oh I really hope they like this. Um Cecilia it's uh your turn.
Okay I probably shouldn't do this but well no no I'll stay where I am and I'm going to cast
healing word on Claude with my last spell slot. No! You have a health potion um so hopefully you
can use that too. You heal six healing. I also have lay on hands too remember. Yeah but that's
an action and I want you to still be able to do things. You're like please just keep smacking.
For my action I'm gonna cast sacred flame on he has such a good mod but it's like literally
the only thing I can do. Um yeah I have a minus one with my crossbow so I can't even use that.
Um so yeah I'll cast sacred flame on farliest again. Farley. DC 13 deck save. Yeah 21 succeeds.
Not as good as your sister. Shut the fuck up. She's great.
Cecilia is great in her own way. I don't see it. Well that's because you're an idiot clearly.
His eyes um at the end of your turn his eyes vert off to the side for a moment.
He pulls out his gun once more and he just like lets out a quick shot uh out um from uh
it says out of both of your ways you all look as his bullet whizzes by um you see standing in the
doorway of the uh of the house um Jaime. No! Hand clutched uh and his hand is clutched over something.
He looks he looks tired and for the and angry his eyes uh his eyes arched downwards um as he
um as he just kind of like opens up his palm and the bullet is there in his hand. Oh mark.
He just tosses it out to the side. He looks a lot better than he was before. Um stay inside Jaime.
You can't come out. You have been handed. Um
um he's gonna have to make um make a persuasion check.
One of you. Yeah yeah hold on at advantage because I said we have this handled. No because.
Damn it. Does it matter which person makes it?
It's gonna it's gonna have to be um Cecilia. Damn it. Okay
12.
Jaime. Um as he steps forward you see Steller kind of like holding on to his uh
kind of holding onto his back um Jaime Jaime just kind of steps forward this new found sort of like
you you see like anger on his face.
I had already enrolled in the initiative for Steller um and and Jaime. Damn it.
As he just runs.
He is running towards um he is he is running towards the uh the Shade Wolf. With the moon
with moon out. Yes. Yes. Why is he doing this? It's not um that is happening right now. Um
we see Steller is going wait Jaime wait.
Boys are so stupid. Boys are so dumb. Boys are dumb as hell.
Jean Claude. Especially ones that mean well are the dumbest.
Jean Claude. Jean Claude. It was your turn. He turns to Jaime and goes Jaime get fucking back
now and he's going to swing the um battleaxe across.
Because he's very very grumpy. No good very bad day.
Oh.
Oh. You see you see what I meant if you talk if you talk shit it'll it'll roll for you.
Talk shit and you will hit.
Talk shit get hits.
So uh yeah Nat 20 with the battleaxe which will be uh 16 points of slashing. Does it account for
yeah attack Valian right. Um well we do the rule where um you get instead of that four you get the
maximum of the die so instead of being 12 plus four it's 12 plus eight. So that's 20 points of
damage. Um. Slashing. Ow. Um you actually um as he as he fires off to the side and during that talk
you just take this moment of distraction to like swing upwards and you see a dark arm fling up into
the air severed from the person's body. Um. I just miss this head. Um as you see the arm um fly up
and there's a slight gasp from the uh the shade.
Immediately just another um it forms like over like over like a few seconds.
It's okay at least it looked cool and Jaime got the message.
He um he lets out a whistle. I can't whistle. Um and you see the the wolf's ears kind of
flip a little bit. It looks towards um Cecilia. Cecilia where do you have the bag on? Where do
you have your bag of holding on you? I don't know why I imagine the bag of holding as like one of
those that goes like across the shoulder. I saw it as a satchel too. Like yeah like a messenger
bag kind of thing. You get eight temporary hit points if you don't use them. I need them.
Action for anything. Oh if I want to use my bonus action for anything. Yeah if your turn was over.
Do I have a boat? I don't think Leon hands is bonus. No. Oh wait. Potions are. Potions are.
Potions are. Chug chug chug chug chug chug. Chug that shit. It was a lesser potion. So how much
would that be Jenny? Flat. Flat ten. Yeah. Flat ten. I'll take it. Thank you Jenny. Healing
spells are rolled. Healing items. Healing items are flat because you pay a lot for them.
Pay a lot of monies. All right. The wolf turns towards you Cecilia seeing the approaching uh
seeing the approaching uh Jaime who is dashing in um you see that the wolf looks towards you
and and attempts to pounce on you but um it's it's fang seems to be not going for your neck
or any vital position but for your bag but he will have to make an attack and hit you. Seven.
Seven will not hit. Yeah. No. I can't imagine. She's like stop it.
All right with that said
it is going to be Jaime's turn.
Um as you are currently still wrestling with this uh with this wolf um Jaime uh rushes up his
fingers uh his his fingers bend over one another as his like as his hands begin to take position
of his martial arts and he is going to make um you you hear him let out this loud like sort of like
a warrior scream and it and the very end you catch a snarl.
Maybe he's mastered his pup ways.
15 14 you get advantage um which he's attacking recklessly.
I thought you were gonna say pack tactics.
Those both hit. It's a very good boy.
Okay. Additional to the six um. This guy's getting wailed.
Against the wolves. Cecilia you Cecilia you you watch as he's punching you catch
trails of smoke and flame coming off of his fist um his hands as he's punching and after his initial
assault um as he just um strike uh once uh once twice oh and a third time because he flew he blows
then does not hit his um as he just means it for the moment you hear the rain sizzle as it as it
patters on Jaime's fist with an ever-increasing fire growing on it. Is he sun soul?
No he's drunken master isn't he? Oh that's right. Yeah.
Yeah um see he I'm a scam uh.
Is that it for his turn? Yes. Uh. He can get 410 HP now. Okay um the wolf winds under the
the verusias assault of uh of Jaime um as fire and as fire and fist pelts against it um the stranger
Farleys no longer a stranger actually um sees the situation um you see he kind of like surveys um
everything looking back and forth and he just puts the gun away
and he takes a step back from you um Jean-Claude.
Attack of opportunity? Before um he takes one step two steps and then
and then pulls out a dagger quick and stabs you. You little little shit.
11. No. You make an extra attack? Yes. 9. No. No. No.
Um the smite is still there the 23 points of radiant damage is still on his knife um
um he
as he he takes a stab and you just duck backwards like magic style and the dagger
just hovers above the point of your nose past you pass between your eyes and above you not
making any contact with you whatsoever um and then he turns around and he's gonna run make a
attack of opportunity. No you little shit you're not going anywhere. Feed him up. I was gonna say
can I tackle him to the ground? I don't know if it's a good idea. I believe the attack of
opportunity has to be a weapon attack. Has to be a weapon does not hit. 10.
Yeah. You know what happened when he bent back he pulled something in his back.
You do a big a big wide blind swing he doesn't doesn't help you.
He does a little spin as he dodges even though it was a very wide swing.
How does Cecilia look um Jenny?
Um well she just I would say the most pain she's experienced in her life but it's been the past few
days have been that too so but yeah it like it's scattered she's wet she can't hardly see with the
glasses and she's glowing from moonlight and there's this wolf snapping at her and she's
yelling at Jaime to uh to go back inside so yeah. Stellar rushes over um David Hasselhoff style.
Poor Stellar.
Goes why can't anyone else be the emotional anchor right now um. I was gonna say you know that song
that's like a single mom that works two jobs that's what I imagine a Stellar comes sprinting out.
I never thought that would be a single mom of three um I love that one house and uh rushes
towards you um Cecilia and is going to cast uh cure wounds on you. She doesn't need that though.
Oh okay that she's okay that I thought she looked bad. No I I took that healing potion. That's right.
She she looks bad emotionally damaged. Emotionally damaged and things yeah okay okay but physically
the wounds are closing up. Emotionally that's a whole other story. She is going to cast sleep.
Censored um so it's a bit away so it's just targeting the pup.
Yeah you watch as this as this dog that was ferocious is still like getting pounded and
then Jaime has a hand wrapped around its neck about to about to roll in another punch.
Um the puppy just immediately not the pup the shade wolf. I keep saying puppy now.
Puppy goes to sleep now. The shade wolf suddenly licks his head back and just
with its tongue hanging out just goes to sleep.
I know and as she um as she does that um again with no focus. Um Cecilia you do see the um
the mark she had showed you the other day on her um that was like on the top part of her like
upper chest here. It's beginning to glow through her clothes. You hear a slight thrumming sound.
There's a slight wince and there's a slight wince in her expression. Um
and she just goes, Jaime come on please please come back.
Um and no response from Jaime just violence in his eyes. Cecilia it's your turn. I'm going to move 30 feet
closer.
I'm going to move 30 feet closer. He's retreating seemingly or seemingly just going to try to shoot
at us from afar. He's seemingly like it it could be either or it's hard it's hard to say. Um
I kind of don't want him to get away either. I feel like we won't have any peace if he gets away either.
So I don't know if I should do I'm I'm gonna pull up the moon shards yeah.
Oh handle the moon shards. You pull up the moon shards.
Oh time you're gonna get fucked. Um all right. I moved 30 feet away from him.
Oh good point. That helps that helps.
Good good did you specify that? Yeah yeah. Um you did move 30 feet away. Um the the Shade Wolf is
going to like attack of opportunity on you. It's asleep isn't it? Psych I was kidding. I forgot.
I don't know how I forgot. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how I forgot about that. I was
the one who put him to sleep. I'm very tired. He put in his sleep. He's like he's like he's
putting in his sleep. It's like he's chase. You know you know how dogs chase in the dreams.
I've DMed so many hours this week. I'm so tired. Oh no it's okay. You're almost to the end. You
almost made it. And I'll DM again tomorrow. Um too many games for Tim. Too many games. So
wild magic surge. I'm gonna bring this baby up. So go ahead. Give me 5d100. Oh my god.
Jenny. Crystal make up moon power. 75, 71, 34, 57, 30. All right. Oh oh oh oh. Okay moon. Watch it out of the helm whatsoever. Make up. I'm gonna buy you a sailor moon to you sure Jenny just for this campaign.
So as you pull out the moon shard focusing your enmity currently on this person um
using it with the intent to harm you pull it out in you and this and you feel the the weave
around you begin to unravel and twist um so for the first go around you begin to glow a bright light
that sh that sheds out in a third in a big 30 feet radius um Jean Claude you look for a moment and
when you look your eyes actually sting and and burn and you look away. Jesus Cecilia. If you
feel like if you looked at it for longer you would go blind. No. Oh dang. Um you feel um another
you feel your fortitude begin to uh begin to uh begin to like uh bulk up you gain resistance to
all damage for the next minute. Oh my god. Um you feel um the inner magic around you begins to swell
as well maximize the damage of the next damaging spell you cast within the next minute. I don't
have any spell slots. I have two. Um as you're as you're holding the moon shard it actually
gets set ablaze as well um as as a fire begins to encroach on it um for the are you gonna cast
fireball for the next minute any flammable object you touch that isn't being worn or carried by
another creature burst into flames and you feel yourself beginning to become the space you
teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see.
Okay um I'll teleport ahead of him then. Burn him burn him burn him. Is he a flammable object
that's not being worn or carried? He's undead. He's undead. He's not an object. We're better than
this. Not yet. Not yet. Yeah you're right I'm better than the unapologetic racist. Apologetic.
Unhinged guys unhinged. I'm writing down all the effects so I can remember what some of these
things do. Okay as you appear ahead of him he he kind of covers his eyes you see some of the
the lights from his body the shadows that are coming from him are like are like pulling away
from you as if it desperately wants to get away. Um two points of exhaustion. Okay.
Okay that hits immediately not when the whole thing's done. It hits immediately yes. Oh I thought
the first time after the first time it happened I had ruled it that way so it was cool but um I
did speak with you afterwards it was it can happen immediately. I didn't realize oh well.
Oh yeah that 15 feet thing is actually having having my movement speed is pretty bad.
Oh right. Oh boy. So that said um
well currently the person currently the person is 30 feet away from you. How far did you teleport?
Did you teleport right by him Cecilia? Um I so is it like just like woods here or is it like a path
or what? Um it is it is grassland it is an area separating the um the mansion and the house.
He is going to go he but there is woods here he is trying to go off into the woods.
Yes yeah I'd say I didn't uh
the things I know he has like the smite thing on his knife
and that would kill me. No no wait I'm resistant so maybe I will go with melee yeah. Okay.
I'm in five feet in front of him. Okay Jean-Claude. Cecilia. Um.
I'm going to tell you right now Jean-Claude. I haven't seen this yet.
You haven't actually because you weren't. Yeah you were unconscious.
You literally felt the weave the magical weave around you just torn up and unraveled and all
these torrents of magic just just oh just shred around you. Oh these big bars. Um I will say
you feel like if you get closer to this light and you spend enough time in it you will it will
it will straight up make you blind. Um. Not permanently. Good thing I got away from you.
Well that's um can I so can so can he how so I'm 30 feet away from um Farley. Uh yes.
So if I oh Jesus can I go right up and try to hit with my eyes closed.
Yeah.
Jean-Claude's like Cecilia I don't know what you're doing but it's the best as he sprints up with
his eyes closed. It's a swing disadvantage I assume because his eyes are closed. Yeah. Oh yes.
Yes yes yes yes yes.
It's the best.
Jean-Claude is about like you you didn't make it all the way yet Jean-Claude so you
were just swinging at the end. The 21 and the six. I know it was a 21 would have been great but
nope had to close my eyes can't be blinded right now. Um you peek a little bit Jean-Claude you're
like oh fuck I'm not and you make your way up. Oh shit I'm not in the closet. Just do this just do
this the whole time you know. I'm coming. Sunglasses. Don't willy. Okay it's the shade wolf's turn.
It is the Farliest's turn.
Farliest is going to go ahead and put on sunglasses. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
They don't work against the moon. He pulls out the moon glasses. He pulls he pulls out the dagger
and just towards you Cecilia. Just hit. Okay. Resurrect normally. Nine misses.
18 is exactly my armor class. Finally.
You take seven points of piercing damage. Uh. Half though right. Half yes. Yeah. And 23 points of
radiant damage reduced down to 11. 11 okay. And minus. Make. Minus five. Make a con saving throw.
Conthetuthin. Eight. And you take an additional.
Wow uh six points of necrotic um damage. Ouch actually. Are you still up?
Yeah. Yeah. Because it's halved. As he slashes out you once and you die and he's just kind of like
kind of hissing at the uh the light. He he um he shoots upward with his knife and actually
kind of like gets you right in the chest uh right in the upper chest area. Um. No. That hurts.
Uh huh. And um he's gonna try and bend around you and run off. Okay I'm gonna hit him with my
hammer. Um Jean-Claude you can also try and hit him. Well done Cecilia. I'm coming. I rolled a 13.
Does not hit. I'm sorry. Okay. One second. I have not landed anything. So I rolled an eight and a 20.
So eight. Ducks underneath the war. Ducks underneath the war hammer. Kind of like
kind of like does that little leap forward to dodge the um the battle axe.
Jean-Claude just I got you this time. As he kind of like starts still running.
Uh Cecilia it's your turn. Jean-Claude you're up next. Um did you tell me something about
regenerating spell slots? Is that a thing that exists? Yes. You use a bonus action to take a
level of exhaustion and it'll and it'll regenerate a spell slot up to level four.
Whoa. For you specifically for this. Okay. Um and it's not exhaustion per spell level.
It's not exhaustion per spell level. It's one point of exhaustion one fourth up to a fourth level spell slot.
What happens with three? I get disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws.
What happens with three? I get disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws. I'll do it. That's
gonna be third. Whoa boy. Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. All right. Jetty's not pulling her fucking punches.
I'll get my second level spell slot and let me double check. Um I'm
going to cast
guiding bolt at second level on him.
And if it hits it'll do max spell damage. It tends. So now one. Oh no.
It doesn't want me to do anything tonight.
Yeah. Really. That really sucks. I'm sorry. I've also been rolling bad with you. Um
at least you got to do stuff though. Nothing I've done has worked. Period. You rolled really good
temporary air points. It has kept both of you alive. I wouldn't have been. Yeah. No. Come on.
Jenny. I wouldn't be up. Did you see those fucking hits? I don't care. It's just like it's like oh my gosh.
Okay. You um it's the piling exhaustion and you drawing from your reserves. Um and you having not
been in many fights not understanding your limits. Um your guiding bolts fires off as you're also
trying to peer through this light and um you don't see where you don't you don't get to see
where it goes because everything's like mending together right now and you feel so much fatigue
in your body. You do see a tree fall over um in the distance probably where your guiding bolt hit.
Oh yeah. She well she gets a d6 plus three temporary but
another nine. Oh my gosh. What the heck. I'd rather go to something else but um yeah she
yeah she probably just exhausted not catching up right now. She just kind of like goes to her knees.
No. Tired. He he runs um into the wood and at the top of the round you hear uh the hooves of horses
begin approaching um the plate approaching the place as um the guards are beginning to arrive.
Farleys looks back um as he uh goes 30 feet in towards the um towards the woods now entering
into the shrubbery um getting some half getting some half cover. He looks back holding on to his
hat and he just kind of like looks at you um he he looks at the big globe of light not at you um
he kind of squints and he just goes all right
see you next week.
See you next week. Loser. Um I love Jean Claude 30 feet away if you want to rush through the light
and do anything. Yeah you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna take I'll be blinded because I'm gonna just
get a whack on this guy. Also one of the things that's really annoying my fighting style dueling
I have been forgetting to add plus two bonus damage to every single one. You hit him like five
times right? My attack. This is for the entire campaign so now I'm glad I read that through.
Anyway I'd like to swing at him. Give me one second to roll your damage. I think you have I
think you do have it added because I added it for you. Yeah we've talked about this before.
Okay so then you did add it. Yeah it's on there it's on there. Okay thank you thank you.
So many rolls. So little time. Leave me alone I'm running away so I can show up again.
Little shit. Oh the both of you. That one. I cut myself because I can't see shit.
It says you don't know how far your at your hands are on your axe right now.
So as you kind of like run in and swing your axe up your kind of like hand kind of like roll kind
of like rides up the handle and you actually kind of catch the bottom like curve of your axe on your
finger. Cecilia turn off the light. I don't know how. Put it in the bag. Put it in the bag. He quotes
her. You put the moon shards away. He quotes Cecilia's famous phrase put it in the bag. You put the moon shards away.
Cecilia as you put it away nothing happens. The light is encompassing your entire body you are the light.
Oh damn it. The farliest is going to sprint. Sprint off.
How add. All the way away. I can't wait to shoot from the back.
Jean Claude you are actually not blinded because you were not you didn't end your turn within five
feet of Cecilia. Oh so I can still yeet a javelin at him. You can make an opportunity attack yes
because he was in the five feet of you before he runs. Yeah absolutely make that attack.
I swing I swing I swing. One more time. Come on JC. JC. JC. You little shit. No I'm done for the day.
Seven. He's done for the day. He's not done now. You swing the battle axe. It hits the tree.
It sees deeper bedded into the tree. That would have really hurt.
That would have really really hurt. You're pretty strong Jean Claude. It's my back.
As far as he runs off all the way into the woods.
Is the rain putting out the fires I'm starting in the forest.
Yeah you are. If you put your hands on the ground.
You do find that the grass around you begins to.
Yeah right now Jean Claude you look between the fleeing form of Phaleus and the back to the back
to this big globe of light a growing fire and a very very tired and beaten Cecilia directly in
the middle of it. Okay buddy. I'm gonna go to the back of the forest. I'm gonna go to the back of
the forest and like when the sun sets I'm gonna have to do this before. And you know it starts
exhibit. We start shaking and want None of your dry skin instagramers to see you. They'll look
at the murky water crystals and be like okay it's really fun. The second neuron of the
Earth begins to march against it. You've got it. That's crazy.
Take the 내가 besides phone.
Yeah, unless the wolf wants to wake up and do something.
The wolf...
Maybe he...
The two look back, the wolf is gone.
Aww, I want him to be an ally.
Awoo.
In this... in this moment, Cecilia, as the fire is going around you, the rain is beating
it back down.
But the fire seems to be stronger at this moment.
Jean-Claude, you just see this... this very strange, unexplainable phenomenon in front
of you.
I will say, over time, you see that the light begins to die down.
It hurts less, but still there.
You do see Cecilia, in the middle of it, on her knees, sunken down.
He'll crouch...
He's a big man.
But he'll crouch down and just crawl over to her and go, you okay?
She checks her hands aren't setting things on fire anymore.
Do you quickly touch the grass?
Gingerly just, like, appease.
Little smoke, but nothing.
No fire starts.
I'm... I'm... I'm fine.
Um...
Okay.
Good job, kiddo.
And I'm gonna tap her and give her fifteen of my Leon hands points.
Okay.
As you heal her.
And the fires, they don't spread much, but still there.
The beating of hooves is heralded by the arrival of many dwarves on horses with guns on their
back.
You see a group of five just begin to rush over.
You see two of them immediately look over towards you, the immediate people of interest
because of the fading lights, the fading fires.
And they just... and as they come over, holding their axes in their hands, they just go, hands
up!
Hands up!
Yeah, we put our hands up.
The moonlight is still... I think the moonlight's gone because it only lasts for a minute.
Yeah.
As everything begins to fade away, you see the trepidation begins to falter.
I say... their eyes kind of look towards the scorched earth around you, the fallen tree.
You see the three other ones look over at Jaime and Stellar.
Jaime is also sunken down onto his knees.
A downcasted look towards the ground.
Stellar has an arm wrapped around him.
And she just goes, he needs help.
He needs help.
One of the guards, the one with the crossbow from earlier, kind of looks down at Jaime
and kind of peers down at him.
Jaime just kind of looks up towards them.
And you see that the person kind of recoils a little bit, bringing his horse back.
He goes, that's the one.
That's the monster.
Hey!
He's not.
Hey.
Jaime's eyes soften at this accusation.
As you all speak up, Stellar goes, no, he's not.
He's not.
He's good.
He's done nothing but good.
As she positions her body in front, you see the dwarf goes, it's unmistakable.
He's the one.
No, no, who's the real monster?
And he points to the house.
That fucking arsehole.
As you're speaking, Jean-Claude, they're reaching for the weapons.
Nope.
Jaime's eyes soften, you see Stellar take a direct wall approach towards Jaime.
And he, yes, he's right.
He's absolutely right.
You see the elf stepping out of the house.
That's right, you motherfucker.
Your turn.
And the captain, you see the captain, a much more fully-haired man, kind of like perk up,
looks towards a fernigan.
This is your doing.
Because yes, yes, yes, just toiling with the old illusion magic.
Sorry, it seemed so real.
I didn't mean to intrude upon the peace of the town.
We were just getting some proper experience so I could detail the scenes better and draw
out the screams.
I guess it worked.
Jean-Claude goes, Stellar, you as a bald, oh, okay, but this one, and he points to the
author, is the bane of my existence.
I hate writers.
Yes, these people, all of them, they work for me.
And I am paying them handsomely for the wounds that they're wearing.
We have to make it as realistic as absolutely possible.
The captain, everyone kind of looks at each other.
Before you see the captain, he gives this big, huge sigh.
He goes, I remember fondly that the details of your deal between you and the Longlaid
family is that you can remain in that house and do what you wish as long as you do not
disturb the peace of the town.
But now you have brought fire and blood on our land.
It's just, they're actors, they know how to bleed.
You have brought blood onto our land.
We will be discussing your relationship with the Longlaid family.
Absolutely fine.
I will compensate everyone handsomely, including you five, so diligent on your job.
The guard looks around at all other ones.
How are Jean-Claude and Cecilia looking?
He starts kind of like muttering quietly something about, performance is very exhausting when
you get that into it.
Jean-Claude hates this man with every fiber in his being, and he's just glaring at the
writer.
His stare has not broken the entire time.
The captain goes, find a new profession.
And then turns, but does look back towards Stellar.
He goes, does he need help?
No, I was acting.
He goes, come on.
He goes, and no more noise out of any of you.
The five of them leave, but not without your very doubtful glace.
You do have a feeling that some of them just straight up do not believe what is occurring
here, what is the writer saying.
But they are following the captain's orders at the moment.
Your legs are very shaky.
I'll give her a hand.
Fernigan walks over to Stellar and Jaime, he goes, are the two of you alright?
Who are you?
I am um, I am Fernigan Cavacos.
Or Fernigan.
Go inside, I'm worried still.
I should um, go speak with the Longglades.
Um, I'm truly sorry for everything that happened.
I didn't know that you were afflicted.
And then Stellar goes, you, you did this?
Illusions.
What did you say, Cecilia?
Just an illusions.
You brought Jaime out into that moonlight?
For what?
Um, I didn't, I didn't know.
You knew, John Claude says, it was for your story, was it not?
Even if you didn't know, because we didn't know either, what you did was just horrifying
for anyone.
And I know that was the point, but it's terrible, and we haven't had any day of rest with everything,
and we were just trying to keep him out of the moon.
Give me one good reason why I should not smack you in the face right now.
I'm, a fist smashes against the side of his face.
Um, Stellar, um, hits, gives him a solid deck across the chin.
Um, he, he just, he just, he just, he just kind of like reels back, kind of like stunned
at that.
Though Stellar is not very strong.
Um, he just kind of like holds, he has his hand over his mouth.
Stellar breathing heavily, clutching her hand.
Kill.
Fergan, just scrambles off towards the estate.
Jaime has that thousand yard look aimed at the ground.
Stellar helps him up.
Let's get you inside, okay?
I'm a monster.
The medicine kit.
Stellar.
You could go use the rest.
Stellar does tug up at Jaime, and Jaime just goes, I'm a monster.
The thing I want you to be right now is warm, and dry.
Come on.
Jaime does stand on his feet.
Blood.
As the fire has worn off on his body, you see blood on his hands.
As the four of you, um, limp away.
Um, tired from your previous fight, into the house.
And with that, we're gonna take a break.
Break time.
That fight went a lot better than expected.
Yeah.
It'll be snack time.
Alright.
Everyone, we'll be back.
Oh boy, that was a pretty eventful encounter.
We scared the shade away.
I put him over, baby!
And I have three points of exhaustion.
More than one person was fucked over during that encounter, I will say.
Well done, you... son of a bitch.
You rude, crude mistress, yeah.
Alright.
So, you ready?
Yeah.
Alright.
Let's let go.
As you lot are carried, carry your soaked, trenched forms into the cabin, immediately
all the moisture from all of you just dripping onto the ground.
Puddles are made wherever you step.
Stellar parks Jaime into the first place that he can be parked onto a couch.
And he just, he just sits there.
His hair that is now undone, it is long, it is wild, and you see it covers like parts
of his face, giving him a much more darker look than before.
Oh, he's hot.
Yeah.
Always been hot.
I know, but now he's like edgy hot.
Jean-Claude, Cecilia, you have to help Cecilia into the house because Cecilia, your legs
are worn and very shaky.
You can, with each step, you can, with each step and each second that you are allowed
to rely on your own strength to stand, you find yourself seconds away from falling over.
But thankfully Jean-Claude is there as your support.
Because you two are made to sit.
Jean-Claude, you are kind of hunky dory.
I'm good.
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Door is shut behind all of you.
Stella shuts the door and just locks it.
And her forehead against the door, all of you feel this massive weight just fall, fall
from the room.
But you still have a sense of alertness about you.
Jaime just slowly brings his hands up.
They move towards his hair, but he stops as he looks towards his hands covered in blood
and soot.
And he just slowly brings his hands proceed, beginning to tend to his hair, tying it.
I go to pull out.
Because Stella and Jaime were hurt, right?
Mostly Jaime right now.
Stella is not hurt.
Oh, and Stella is hurt.
Jaime had slashed him.
She goes to take out her medicine kit.
Celia, you can't even stand right now.
Maybe let me help.
Know how to use it?
Yes.
Deception check.
No, no, no, no.
I've established before that you have a decent knowledge about how to use health kits.
Don't worry.
Not as good as you.
Celia goes, if you tell me what to do, I can help.
And she'll also go try to pull out a cloth and like her water too and just give it to
Jaime.
I'll bring it all over.
Yeah.
Jaime is not being cold.
As soon as the hair clues from his eyes, you see the kindness and the warmth are still
there but now lesser versions of itself.
It is a kind heart that's been hurt.
You make your way over Jean-Claude with everything in hand and Stella gets a look over you.
Gets a look over you, Celia.
I'm healed.
But you're tired.
But you're tired as fuck.
You ever ran a five minute mile?
You ever done it twice?
That's how you feel right now.
But like uphill?
Yeah uphill.
With weights.
Yeah.
And you're on a mountain so the altitude is really fucking high and you want to puke.
And your dog's about to throw up so it's forcing you to run faster.
Don't throw up on the couch at the top of the mountain.
And your dog is like, I'm gonna do it and you're like, you can talk.
So Stella does look you over.
Jean-Claude, Jaime's eyes trail up to you as he finishes tying his hair into a loose,
just looking to hold it together.
And his hands, unsteady, reach over and accept the offerings.
Thank you, everyone.
I feel like I'll be, with some rest I'll be fine.
We know now.
So it's manageable.
Okay?
A long pause.
Jaime's eyes immediately hit the ground.
Searching.
Stella just goes, you're not a monster.
Then what did I turn into?
What was that inside of me?
I am, perhaps I need to reconsider my earlier promise to you, Cecilia.
I don't want to be any danger to you whatsoever.
You're much less danger to me than I am to you, I think.
That's not, that's not true.
I think it's very true.
Stella goes, none of that talk between any of you.
Enough.
You have a long journey ahead of you.
You're guiding the moon, and the moon is, it does things to me.
And I don't know why.
I don't want to hurt any of you.
His eyes guide toward Stella at that, at her wound.
Stella hides it immediately.
We'll figure it out.
That's how we got this far, we figured things out.
Once a month, it can be managed.
But what about a repeated exposure to the moon in your, in your pack?
I can't.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
So what are you going to do, Jaime?
Give up?
Go off on your own?
Lie down and take it?
You cannot control what happens to you.
None of us can.
But you, and John Connor's going to lean down, can control how you react to a situation.
And from what I have seen from you, you don't seem like one to just lie down and accept
your fate.
There's no such thing as fate.
Only people who can't change.
I need to adjust my think.
I need to find out everything that's happening to me.
Why?
Get answers.
I'm afraid that if I start doing that, then we're going to have to part ways for I don't
know how long.
That is okay.
I'll come with you, Stellar Girls.
Of course, he looks at Stellar Girls, he's not going on his own.
You have to go with him.
It's your boyfriend.
This is what a suppulsive partner should do.
She just pinches your nose.
She catches your nose immediately.
I was thinking it is a suppulsive thing to do to have someone to keep you.
You're not supposed to keep talking afterwards and hand over the mouth.
Amy just blinks at the sudden levity and just goes, Stellar, I feel as if... Don't you
dare, hands off of your face, Jean-Claude.
Don't you dare say that I don't have to come with you because you're going to be a danger
to me.
Don't say that you want to handle this alone because you have people who can help you and
they want to help you.
I don't care what you're saying, I'm coming along.
But even if... Goodness, did you even listen to me?
It's going to... I am coming with.
We're going to figure out everything.
If I am the only one in the world who's going to purge those thoughts in your mind that
you think you're some kind of monster, then I will be that one person.
I will be the main author.
No other titles, no ghost writing, it will be me.
Speaking of writing, I kind of want to go tear down those pictures from that secret
room.
Where's the writer?
I would like to smash his face into the table again.
It brought me joy.
I think he knows that and I think that's why he's not here.
Oh, shame.
She gets herself up and just goes to slowly go to that room so she can just tear down
those pictures.
Jean-Claude, are you going?
Oh yeah, I'm helping her.
Anything Cecilia does, he's assisting.
As the two of you are leaving... She's kind of trying to do it on her own too because
she's like... She's bad about everything, what?
You'll be whistling in the hallway, just going for a walk wherever Cecilia goes.
He'll just be there.
As the two of you walk... I'm thinking.
Jaime goes, thank you both, the both of you.
It's been a tumultuous few days, but the fact that you're still here, it means a lot.
I think it's all... Hopefully, after whatever self journey I have
to attain, I do want to make it up to all of you.
I'll try.
Wait does Jean-Claude say we're even when Cecilia goes, you don't have to?
Uh-huh, yeah.
Perfect, it's so good.
I think it's all new and scary and... I don't know how I would feel if it were me, but from
our perspectives, it's just something that happens and it's something that you can figure
out and no one will have to get hurt until you can figure it out.
But you're right, it's not safe for you around the moon shards, probably.
I'll figure it out.
And if you and Chewbacca aren't done with your adventure yet, I'll find my way.
I'll find my way to you.
And then the seller goes, we should all talk again after we get some actual proper rest.
Yeah.
She just nods quietly before picking up the medical kit and going over to tent to look
over Jaime once more.
The two of you are off to do your own thing?
Okay.
I don't want the drawings of them all panicked and any writing and things about it down here,
to be honest.
I would like to keep the dolls, though.
Oh, you're going to keep the dolls?
No!
Especially not with Alba here in the chat.
Absolutely not.
Alba has Evangeline, who is- I just want one of them.
No!
Absolutely not.
You have a talking skull.
You have a talking- No!
You have a little Misfits.
I want one of the dolls, too!
You have Charles.
Charles will feel terrible.
Oh, I still need to talk to Charles.
But oh yeah, when we walk into the room with all the medical books in it, too, I think
Cecilia will say, she goes, do you think he cares about this stuff, looking at the books?
Yeah, no, he does.
And I'll start ripping the books apart.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop, stop, please.
You're like halfway through tearing one.
Oh, that was not what you meant.
Well, they're medical books and I mean, they look really old, so they might not be helpful.
But you know, I just kind of read everything that I could get back home and-
Put in the bag of holding.
Bag of holding.
I don't want to just loot the place either.
He deserves to be looted, Cecilia.
Are you just throwing it in there?
Oh yeah, all the way in the back of the-
A-F-I-S-K!
Getting an onslaught of medical books.
He looks at Cecilia and goes-
Sorry, Highlord Atheus.
John Clunt turns down, looks at Cecilia and goes, well, it is not great what's happened
here.
This was incredibly inconvenient.
So the least this man can do is give us these fucking old ass books.
And he keeps pulling the books and putting them in the bag.
I guess that's fair.
It's not about fair.
We're done with fair.
John Clunt's like, if it was fair, I would let Jaime eat his fucking balls.
I'm not sure he'd want to, but-
Scylla from the other room's like, what?
Jaime with werewolf healing is like, ugh.
Little ears.
Oh, we shouldn't have hearing now.
I will say, it has been a bit, but it's recent for the characters.
But Domira did circle this specific part on the map with a question mark on it.
She did not circle Pine Blossom, the town.
She circled this particular area.
You can surmise it is this very place.
Yeah, I wanted to ask him about that, but he's not here.
So you want me to go get him?
No, I think we should push our luck with the town guard here tonight, to be honest.
Also, if you think about it, they fucking lied.
Everyone lied.
This is a town of gaslighting, as the kids say.
Gaslighter Galora.
Even though it's very clear that we weren't in the wrong and we were trying to do everything
right though, I don't think they'd see it that way if they knew Jaime was actually a
werewolf.
Rather than they don't deserve our time.
Yeah, kiddo, you okay?
You seem a little...
Dead on the inside.
I just...
I guess...
Trying to do all that takes a lot out of me.
What did you do?
I channeled the moon shards to try to stop him from leaving.
Okay, I don't think that's very safe.
For you.
It worked yesterday.
I mean, I was pretty exhausted yesterday too, but...
They got rid of him.
Okay, um.
Just be very careful, Cecilia.
You need to make sure you are looking after you.
I mean, since he's so tall, he just points the top... taps the top of her head.
Yeah, that was pretty stupid.
Looking back on it, I just thought...
No, it was not stupid.
It was.
No.
It was what an adventurer would do.
Now me stealing this doll and he holds up JJ the doll.
That is stupid.
JJ explodes.
I'm kidding.
And he raises his hand and goes, Cecilia, you have to be good to yourself.
There are only two of us to lead the moon shards.
And what would Jean-Claude do?
If you were not there, he would be lonely.
Oh no.
Are you playing the doll right now, Timmy?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm playing the doll.
Is that the doll's face?
Or is that just Tim shutting down for the day?
Both.
Yeah, that's a good point, JJ.
See?
JJ brings up very good points, Cecilia.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be nice to actually get to sleep somewhere overnight and not on a wagon, hopefully,
tonight.
Well, you have many beds to pick from.
And they're house, really.
Yeah, we'll get some rest.
But first, let's just tear up those pictures and stuff.
Cecilia.
And you feel a little cloth hand on your cheek as Jean-Claude gently taps the doll's hand
to chicken and goes, I just want to say I am sorry.
I'm very, very proud of you.
We just met, she says to the doll.
You see that he makes the doll cover its eyes.
Oh no, I got too patient and too quickly.
Alas, it is my soft cloth heart.
I am embarrassed.
Toddles away.
Stella goes, are you trying to do me?
What is that supposed to mean?
Oh, it's right over you, Stella.
There's only one Stella of the stars and it's clearly not me.
Everyone should be like me.
I'm awesome.
No, you are so unique.
There should only be one of you because I only one of you I can stand.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, fuck you.
You can stand her now.
Cecilia, shut up.
Oh, you said it, not me.
The captain likes me.
You hear a whisper.
I totally tell.
The rooms aren't far apart.
I will.
JT, you don't like the doll love?
JT understands me.
We are one.
That's why JT is giving us super luck points tomorrow.
Rio, I would love a doll, please.
JJ the doll specifically.
Well, I can't say no.
I need a doll.
Only one person is going to get that and it's neither of you in the call.
Okay.
No.
You're so you're activating Albert in his doll form in his doll loving form.
For those who listen to the podcast, Albert, a friend of ours, has a creepy dog named Evangeline.
And I tried to pass a law to ban dolls because of him.
It's not going through.
I hate it.
I hate everything.
Me and Neverstein.
I'm very brave.
I'll take a plushie.
Yeah, Cecilia is going to go down and say, I'm going to take a plushie.
Yeah, it's going to go down and search that room for anything.
So going through your head, Jean Claude said something about the thing you did earlier.
This little act of crazy wanton and reckless destruction.
That's what adventurers do.
And as you make your way down into the small basement area, dim, gaslit lanterns dotting
the area, giving visage to these depictions of a fearful you.
Places full of fear, wide eyed behind your glasses wider that help you see the world.
You see these, for some of the most bravest people you've met, this person decides to
capture and invest into your moments of fear.
Impressive sketches are pinned about onto wooden boards, passages describing her eyes
shot open in terror, her mouth a gaping maw letting loose the deepest screams that she
could mutter.
Is it a toothy maw?
A toothy maw.
He drew the really scary Cecilia.
She didn't get to see that.
She kind of looks at it like, oh, the head one that I saw?
Yeah.
The air from her neck sputtered as it spun around as the corrupted Cecilia.
Just this is already-
And Rob Cliffe still thought it was her.
It's not your bad day.
You are faced with these visions of you scared and you are reminded, maybe this isn't the
first time, you are reminded of your years living at home.
Delmyra heading out.
Yes.
This is the girl that's on the adventure right now.
Just happened mere moments ago.
These pictures are telling you.
What do you do?
She wanted to take them all down.
Rip.
And look for writing or anything else too.
You're taking those too?
Yep.
Nice stack.
It's a nice stack of papers.
You catch drawings of stellar, of the pictures of stellar and Jaime seated around a warm
fire.
There is a drawing of stellar and Jaime standing next to the door.
A little article saying in order to escape the fear, the boy had to face his own.
And of course it shows Jaime and stellar rushing into the forest.
Stereo looking extremely stressed.
A handout towards Jaime.
Jaime's hands covering his head.
As depictions of this very gnarly looking Jean Claude seems to be taller, seems to be
chasing them.
And there is a moment when you do read.
The boy looked into a mirror.
And he saw what he had feared most.
Someone who was not him.
So you have all the documents gathered ready.
Yeah was there a fireplace in the main area?
Yes.
Yeah she goes back up.
That's where like stellar and Jaime are too right?
Yeah.
Jean Claude you see Cecily come up holding big stacks of paper heading into the living
room.
You want to put them in the bag?
No the nafias would see them.
Get rid of them quick.
Hurry.
Quick.
The fucking heels.
Hurry.
Yeah she just goes to light the fire in the fireplace.
You destroy these images of yourself looking fearful.
Of these depictions of your other friends looking fearful.
The picture of Jaime looking into a mirror seeing this very crazy looking bat creature
that you're not sure of.
It's definitely not a werewolf.
And then running away from the mirror.
You destroy it all.
Watch it burn.
That's nice kindling.
Anything else?
I was curious about anything else that might be in that room too.
So you can head back down.
A quick scour over the room.
There's a desk in here.
This place has been lived in for a good bit.
There are articles, drawings about observations of other people.
It seems like a lot of people have came by.
I'll get rid of all of them.
So not just the ones, it's every single one.
Which is a lot.
Going to find anything pertaining to Delmyra.
You don't find anything.
I'll really check out to you at the moment.
You do scour the room.
There are these gems.
Not any diamonds or anything of the sort.
And you can see that there are makings of what seems to be a ley line that makes its
way up towards the house.
His setup to create all of the illusions probably.
So afterwards Cecilia comes up with another hefty amount of documents.
Just came past them with a stack of papers before and then set a fire and threw everything
and then she's up here with even more.
Oh god Cecilia.
Jean-Claude you definitely helped because Cecilia has three levels of exhaustion.
Yeah no he's definitely helping and he's like you know what can I see something here?
I don't think this guy is a very good writer if he literally has to evoke reactions from
people he can't use his imagination to fucking write this himself.
I know it's really bad.
Like I'm gonna start a smear campaign.
That kind of stuff would be like traumatic for someone you know.
Like can't you just use your imagination as a writer to come up with these situations
and do you know isn't that the point of telling a story?
That's the kind of snooty stuff that all of these artists always try to do.
Like they think they have to go to a meadow to paint the meadow or like they have to be
a part of a tragedy to really capture the moments of it.
Like no if you're good at what you do then you can just imagine it.
That's what being an artist is about.
I mean that's what they assume but I guess they don't fucking know and he's just shoving
that big person to the pile.
Yeah she shows stellar some of them too.
She's yeah I think I should just get rid of all of them.
Yeah burn it all.
I don't have respect for anyone who exposes and uses people's fears for their own gain.
So much fire.
Some smoke kind of sputters out.
Because all of it burns.
Yeah you basically cleared out the entire office of like any documents.
As far as anything else goes you do find like anything of use to you.
Not really there is like a bag of like you know currency of money belonging to this person
but you can leave that.
I'm not taking that.
She already didn't want to take the books without asking so.
But they're in her bag so.
That's his tenants.
The office seems to be cleared.
Standing back up.
You see that you see that Jaime is making his way upstairs.
He just goes.
I think it's a good time for us all of us to rest.
So have a good night everyone.
Good night.
And he makes his way up.
So that just lets out a heaviest sigh kind of clutching her arm.
It kind of sinks into the sinks into the couch.
To double check her arm to where she got where she got scratched her bit.
She knows someone else looked at it but she wants to just double check.
You check with a bandaged arm one of her eyes kind of like open half-lead.
And she just kind of like raises her finger up as you look as you're genuinely checking
and she just boops you on the nose.
I'm fine Cece.
I'm just going to rest my eyes now too okay?
Okay.
Heroes need to rest.
Um.
Hey.
That only like a few days ago but I think one of the last things I want to do right
now is cut all of this short.
Um.
I just trying to figure out ways of how to write to you because as soon as I get Jaime
helped I think I'd like to see you again and check up on you see how you're doing.
Yeah.
You guys are sure you want to split like immediately then?
Where you're going it's in the exact opposite way where Jaime's place is.
Oh.
You want to get you want us to get you the velvet tied for us before we before we go?
It's okay.
You sure?
Um.
I have to make sure you're better set to go though.
Yeah.
You guys kind of lost a lot.
Yeah all our money's gone.
Bag of holding gone too.
We don't have a horse either.
Maybe I'll have to go get it back from from Sir What's-his-face.
Sir Aldemore?
Sir What's-his-face.
Um.
There's one thing I really like to do in my life I like to keep to my promises.
I haven't really finished your song yet.
I think I have so much to write down.
It's only been two days but I think from what I've seen you can you can really empty an
ink well.
Maybe you can write a better song when come back.
Are you saying like a song I'm working on right now is not going to be the best song
ever?
I just hope the subject gets a little more used to all this and maybe a little cooler
or something I don't know.
I think it's pretty cool.
You should too.
I make a habit of helping people who I think are who need help you know.
That's why I joined the Soothe Masons.
That's my old foundation of everything I do.
If there's anything that's stellar of the stars is about it's that.
But after these two days you really I think the colors are starting to fill in between
the lines.
And I can see this and pretty recently you stood in a you stood in a different light.
I think you don't need me at all.
I'm glad Jaime has you to help him figure everything out.
It has to be really scary.
Yeah.
You're so strong, Cecilia.
It's crazy.
There's something really poetic about someone being the light and having light exuded from
them and things like that.
There's something really poetic there.
You know every song about hope has something to do with light and this and that.
I see hope in you because I see strength.
And people only really believe in hope if it's carried by something like that.
I'll finish that song and I'll see you again.
I hope everything goes well for you guys.
It will.
I hope the very same for the both of you.
Now say it.
Repeat what I just said.
I hope.
No, no, no.
Before that, before that, before that, before that.
It will.
There.
There we go.
You know I bought these things like by the way, I'm so glad you got these, and I wanna
touch your cake.
Yeah.
I've been waiting for this for like, 12 years.
Is it their cake?
brain was taking me somewhere else.
Yeah, I'm tired too.
I think you're tired three.
If I had to quantify it, yes, actually.
Like on a scale from.
Let me check.
Six.
I can't remember how many it is.
On a scale of.
Seven.
Of one to, yeah, six.
Scale from one to six.
I'm about a three.
No.
With that three, gosh.
You're a seven.
Get some rest.
Be a ten.
Shut up.
It's the only thing he said this entire time.
Get some sleep.
Get some sleep, tiger.
Meow.
Thanks, captain.
Anytime.
You're pretty good, too.
Good night.
I'm asleep.
That's just you and Jean-Claude in the room.
There are rooms upstairs.
There are, and I know the perfect one for you.
She hasn't seen upstairs.
I know.
You are led to this
horrifying room
populated by
samey looking dolls, some of them holding
sights, like a little.
Pitchforks?
Yeah, pitchforks.
Or like axed or knocked down
or something.
Yeah, it was.
Yes, it was.
It was.
I think it adds character, Cecilia.
I guess I can.
No, I'm fucking with you.
We're going to another room.
Open another room down the hall.
There are so many eyes in there when you think about all the dolls.
Which is why I only took JJ.
It was a reasonable amount of eyes.
You should have seen it earlier.
I thought you were you when it wasn't you.
And it was like illusion you.
Creepy shit, Cecilia.
Your head went like this.
And he's trying to, oh, my neck, trying to copy it, but he fucks up his neck
and his back.
Can I go to bed quick before I do more stupid shit?
You know, I think one of those books we put in the bag was on acupuncture.
Maybe that would help sometimes.
Honestly, maybe then in the next town, I could miss you, so I will pray there.
That would be great.
You know, we'll get to it.
I will give you two heads up.
If you need to rest,
we're going to wrap this session up.
OK, so just prolong it.
If you want to say anything, you go ahead.
You OK?
Yeah.
I need to be.
So.
Not necessarily.
You don't need to be anything.
Look at me.
I'd like to be.
Well, that's different then.
I can't believe.
Damiro did this for so long.
Yeah, she did a lot of things.
But I mean, look at the bag with the moon shards.
I don't know if it was to the caliber of that, though.
Just saying.
It's done a lot of stuff.
I don't know.
She's done a lot of stuff.
She really, I really do think you'd like her if you met her.
Yes, well, I already have my favorite and I'm not saying who.
I'm glad you're here, too.
He's speechless.
Cool.
Just nods.
I'm sorry.
Is there a bedroom to me and do the beds look reasonable to stay in?
Yeah, there's one of the rooms that you haven't quite explored yet.
That's two of them are already occupied.
One of them you walk in and there's a there's two twin size beds
It's a very normal looking room two foot lockers at the end of each bed and then typical accommodations
Any horror things in here
I'm just kidding, no there's nothing
Very inviting
To bed Cecilia
Good night
And um
Can John Claude what was the countdown?
The countdown?
Oh that was just you pointing to go
I thought there was a countdown and I was like it's an ad?
That was a thunder
That was thunder
I was so many thunder
Still doesn't like that
And the two of you going to bed?
Could I? Could John Claude do something before going to bed?
Yes
But I just want to make sure that Jenny you've done what you want to do
Yeah
So I think he'll
There's one more room left right?
Yes
So as he goes into the room to get ready for bed
Is there a window with the moon?
With the moon?
Yeah it's
This
If you recall that there was the
Circular windows
That looked out towards the front
It's those ones yes
I think he'll go stand by one of them
Look out a little
And then he'll take out JJ the doll
And JJ the doll will turn
To look at him
Raise it's little cloth arm
And go
John Claude are you okay?
Are you okay?
And John Claude looks at the doll
And he says no
He says um
I could save help
But I couldn't save
And then
Just a couple tears roll down his cheek
John Claude as you have this
Moment to yourself
Tear staining
Your eyes
Your only audience
The doll before you
And
The cosmic moon
Above peering through the window
You have this moment to yourself
At the end of the day
This has only exhausted you further
But someone's
Listened to you
At least
This is the most
Screen time that this doll
Is ever gonna get
Every session
Claude's gonna bring JJ
JJ is John Claude's
Emotional support doll
What about your emotional support skull?
What am I?
Afius no
Emotional damage skull
Emotional assault skull
That is what Afius is
And that's it, that's all I wanna do
Are you gonna sleep with it or are you gonna put it in the bag of holding?
Well the bag of holding is with Cecilia so he's gonna sit
JJ the doll on the little
Nightstand next to the bed
Thanks
Cecilia can wake up to that
And you sleep
To cap off this
Stormy
And tumultuous day
You, does you lot finally
Attain the rest that you have
Long been looking for
As you are invited
Into bed
And
And are pulled heavily into your sleep
That is where we'll end this session
For now
Yay
Good job guys
I'm busting out all my
I'm busting out all my good rules for tomorrow
Literally like that was just
So validating after
The emotional slam down
Of last season
Last season, last session
I couldn't roll and now I'm gonna be
Rolling with disadvantage for three seasons
Well tomorrow's
Game, so we don't stream tomorrow's game
For people who are listening that's more of a
Game that we play
With friends but uh
We really fucked
Yeah and it's also about me too
Tomorrow
I just need a real good tomorrow
I'm coming for revenge
I'm going for revenge
I'm going to demon court tomorrow
I just need to make my character shut up for tomorrow
