Ciaran; 00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:37.460 Ciaran (Luke): No matter what, there will be consequences. 00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:38.280 Kurt: Zeph; 00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:39.640 Zeph (Kevin): That asshole needed to die. 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:40.920 Kurt: Pi N’kuwa; 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.900 Pi N’kuwa (Geoff): You said we were talking, but you're not saying a 00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:43.140 lot. 00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.680 Kurt: Seraphina; 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.030 Seraphina (Jenn): Look, I have the voice of an angel, we all know 00:01:46.030 --> 00:01:46.320 it. 00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:46.920 Kurt: Severian; 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.740 Severian (Kai): It's not a murder… if… he’s 00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:50.460 food. 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:51.600 Kurt: and Basagar; 00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:52.980 Basagar (John): We need to get to the castle. 00:01:54.160 --> 00:02:02.325 Kurt: Together, they walk the line between mercy and ruin, rolling bones against hope and fear in a world that wants them 00:02:02.325 --> 00:02:07.840 obedient, or worse, dead. So lace your boots, check your blades, and hold your breath. 00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:09.780 Meet us at the blade's edge. 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.240 Once this story starts, it doesn't let you go. 00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:16.120 This is Tales by Daggerlight. 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.120 *Music Fades* 00:02:23.540 --> 00:02:28.821 Kurt: Previously, Wilhelm returned from the brink of death babbling about First Blood and 00:02:28.821 --> 00:02:34.101 the visions of the city collapsing, while Father Ulrich Vane nearly exhausted himself 00:02:34.101 --> 00:02:40.069 keeping Wilhelm alive. You brought the beta prince down to a sewer safe house in 00:02:40.069 --> 00:02:44.956 the grates of Gutterrun, and there you found Prince Manny, overheard a hit planned 00:02:44.956 --> 00:02:49.843 for Prince Rhydian, and when a guard found you, Zeph dragged them down, and Basagar 00:02:49.843 --> 00:02:57.755 ended them swiftly. On his body, a tracking chit stamped ‘M - Zeph Virel’, signed ‘E. 00:02:57.755 --> 00:03:01.860 D.’ Then Basagar and Severian saw the same memories from Zeph's blood. 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.258 King Alric 00:03:03.258 --> 00:03:07.980 promising a pregnant woman named Linessa her child would be hidden. 00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.008 And Zeph went 00:03:10.008 --> 00:03:13.340 cold because, “Linessa is his mother's name.” 00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:18.060 While talking to Wilhelm, he told you about his love interest named Angelica. 00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:23.632 She was the reason he was down in the Hasp market in the first place and was very concerned about her 00:03:23.632 --> 00:03:23.880 well-being. 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:29.635 Seraphina bought Issava’s loyalty, for now, and told him to go check on Angelica in 00:03:29.635 --> 00:03:31.360 the Brine and Barrel Tavern. 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.230 The Virelian Guard were fast approaching, and Zeph led 00:03:35.230 --> 00:03:40.130 you through the sewers with guidance from Pi N'kuwa, and you chose Lowthorn as your 00:03:40.130 --> 00:03:46.362 exit. The tunnel narrowed into thorn-choked stone as it forced you onto a brutal 00:03:46.362 --> 00:03:52.698 150-foot ladder and halfway up green oozes, acid slime that clung and burned, fell 00:03:52.698 --> 00:03:54.960 down from the sewers above. 00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:57.300 Cutting them didn't seem to solve it, 00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:59.210 each one split into 00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:03.980 smaller copies dropping below like the sewer was reproducing problems on purpose. 00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:05.218 As 00:04:05.218 --> 00:04:07.720 you scrambled you finally saw the source; 00:04:08.100 --> 00:04:16.080 a massive heaving slime mass, filling the passage, shedding pieces of itself into the flow; 00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:27.330 patient, endless, and hungry. You burst into Lowthorn, filthy and scratched, heartbeat still sprinting, only to find the district 00:04:27.330 --> 00:04:29.700 strangely normal on the surface. 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.820 Guildfolk, artisans, and hurried patrols chasing bigger crises than you, which made you briefly invisible. 00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:46.092 You took that sliver of luck and ducked into the Rusted Piper, Lowthorn's notorious fight pit and gambling hall, hoping for 00:04:46.092 --> 00:04:47.900 cover, air, and a plan. 00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:56.405 Instead, Seraphina's smooth-talking got you inside, and you got mistakenly booked as tonight's entertainment because the real 00:04:56.405 --> 00:04:59.720 band didn't show. So that's where you ended. 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.100 Backstage in a roaring arena and tavern introduced as Seraphina and the Warriors, 00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:14.258 a band with no instruments smelling like sewer water, trying to look confident while the first blood still hangs over the 00:05:14.258 --> 00:05:16.400 city like a curse with teeth. 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:32.320 But we open the scene in the “B” Green Room with Seraphina and the Warriors.Ser 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:40.560 Severian (Kai): Am I to understand that you have people that fight each other for fun and other people watch? 00:05:40.820 --> 00:05:41.220 Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah. 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.880 Severian (Kai): For fun? 00:05:42.140 --> 00:05:42.460 Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah. 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.720 Severian (Kai): Not because they need to survive. 00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:49.340 Seraphina (Jenn): No, just to blow off some steam. 00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:51.540 Severian (Kai): Hmm.
