I consequently wrote Apolline with the wrong C.
Yes, two P's, right?
Two P's and one E.
Yes, when I started to write the last name, it was like, no, that's wrong.
Think of Apollo if it helps.
Yes, but I never think of Apollo as my A-port.
Apolline has written it for the first time, because...
A-P is also just...
Do you need to think about writing it?
I think every time you write an A-P, it's like, no, not the Labour Party, it's Apolline.
That was cool.
Okay, okay.
Okay, are we...
Is it time?
Is it time?
Don't say it's time.
Do you remember what I wrote?
It's Dundra's dragon!
Do you want it?
No!
Fuck!
Yes.
Yes, it's Kritt Koglod, who is in the middle of writing the A-P.
It has to be allowed to shout like that.
Before the session.
What was the character's name?
Astral Elf.
Yes, Astral Elf.
It was an Astral Elf, instead of a normal Elf.
Elf.
Elf.
Oh, yes.
Nice.
Good start.
We had that on record.
Oh, yes!
This is so good.
It's going to be good.
That was cool.
I have to try it with a normal hit-point.
Yes, the other one has...
Astral Elf.
It's good that Dundra is right next to the speaker.
It's good that I'm sitting next to the speaker.
If you just imagine that you have more health, then you can manifest it with mental power.
Try to argue about that.
Every time I drink, you hear...
Not so much.
I'm trying to be explicit, because I'm like...
Oh no, that can trigger the audience.
You have to have a Minecraft sound.
Poor Mari.
Name drop.
I don't like your sound.
Then you have to give us feedback, because he's changing us.
But she's the only one who's going to listen to this.
This is part of the feedback cycle.
For the party.
Yes.
For the party.
For the party.
For the party.
For the party.
For the party.
For the party.
For the party.
This is part of the feedback cycle.
For the party.
Yes, for the party.
It's in the annual report.
Have you been sitting there all the time?
I don't work in this business.
Or I probably do, but I'm not that kind of person.
I probably do, but I don't know.
Shit, it's quiet. Maybe I should turn it off.
I'm going to do a Stargate intro.
Okay.
I don't know how to do a Stargate intro.
Are you going to sing it for us?
No, not like that.
Like this.
Like this.
We're just going to breathe in the microphone.
Is that what we're doing?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
That's Star Wars.
That was the Stargate intro.
The Stargate intro.
Yes, because that was the intro.
But that was the Stargate intro.
The Stargate intro.
The universe.
A place so heavy, but at the same time so full.
Of so little.
We're meeting the target audience.
What target audience?
Which target audience?
Us. Around the table.
I think we're meeting something.
No, we're meeting everything.
Which one?
Okay.
Do you hear the music?
Yes. Cool.
The year is 633.
After Rupture.
It's a fallow year.
Which is around Tuesday.
And we see an owl walking
in the streets of the city of Zoran.
Now, Zoran is a city
that is located by a seabed.
And it's squeezed between
Cessarix Mountains
and the Grey Mountains to the east.
And it's a kind of main base
for what's going on
in the cave and drift
up to the east.
It is
Grassland.
It's starting well.
A woman is walking down the road.
A woman?
Yes.
Grassland.
Grass.
It stretches out
south-west from Zoran
with the seabed to the north-west.
And it's
a calm
finish.
The fog
stretches slowly
across the bay and
opens up
in front of the walls
to the big city.
Or the big
countryside, you could say.
I can see
that I can get
some sound effects
in addition.
Lysander.
Do you want to
describe for the others
and yourself how
Lysander
looks, what he's wearing
and...
a little bit short.
Lysander
looks nice.
Lysander has been on
a long hike
the last two weeks.
He looks
quite tired.
He has
a cap
that looks a bit burnt
here and there.
Clothes.
His hair is
braided back over.
He doesn't fit
completely in.
He's almost
a bit bald
from his appearance.
But he's also
pretty dark
and tired.
But he walks
with a certain
direction.
He's pretty determined
in his walk.
You walk
through the west entrance
through the district Windwell
and see people passing
with some scissors,
some with bigger
scissors, smaller scissors,
some cards, etc.
It's filled with
some shiny stones,
others are filled with
more metal, some
stones, generally stones,
but more marble
compared to granite.
What do you
see
as you walk through the
desert?
I try to see
something
I assume
is a
young
woman.
So I try to see all young
women who aren't famous.
But I'm just a bit lucky.
Just with female women.
Lucky women.
50% of them.
No, I see some
from a higher status
because I assume
that's what I'm after.
Okay.
Can you give me a perception check?
And then I'll roll a D100.
How do you like people?
How creepy are you?
First roll!
First roll!
I didn't think of that.
That's nice.
I'm thinking of a training
in prison.
I'm thinking of a digital
drawing.
A random number.
A drawing on your wall
so you can switch to a drawing.
I have extra drawings too.
You don't need them.
I have OSA.
We've archived nature.
You see pretty fast.
With nature
I can tell you that
you see that this city, this
city is big.
And with a big
countryside,
a large number of
women and a large number of
young women too.
But
anyway
you're after
the first woman
you see.
Oh no, this is unfortunate.
You see
a female
halfling
that goes a little
faster past you.
She has a little
moving, almost
cobbled hair.
Stop laughing!
Orange eyes.
A little like Amber.
She has on her
what is it called?
Chainmail in Norwegian.
You're short.
Rusty.
It's not a chainmail.
No, no.
The chain must be protected.
It's a completely different thing.
In medieval times.
You don't need a chainmail to kill it.
Fucking die.
Why hilarious.
Pretend to self.
We start.
Ringbrinje.
Ringbrinje.
She walks down the street with her chainmail
and has
a lamp
hanging over her shoulder.
And goes
a little upright and
at the same time holds on to a short sword
that she has in her belt.
Excuse me.
Oh yes, hello.
Can I help you? I'm trying to
I have a job to do.
Yes, sorry. Do you know about this place?
This place?
Sure. Soren is
a large town.
Coastal. Mining related.
Do you work here?
I'm about to.
Okay. Where
would you go if you've never been here before?
Probably the town square.
Center. You can find some shops.
Get some ale maybe.
I've heard of the
the watery
water's window.
Very nice I've heard.
Thank you.
Which direction?
This one.
You haven't been
You haven't been
to Endermore
recently?
No, not recently. I passed through
from South.
Thank you. Here's a flower.
I'll also grab it.
Come and
be our charisma check.
Okay.
Oh!
Nice.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
That's very sincere.
Maybe I'll see you during work.
My name is Laura.
Nice to meet you. I'm Lysander.
Lysander?
Okay. Good day to you, Lysander.
I'm actually
going to speed up again and
pass you through.
Yes.
Should we go a bit slow?
If you increase
your tempo, it'll probably
go faster.
I'll try
to...
I haven't seen such a big city
in a while.
Because I'm sitting in the
dark.
With the sun at least.
Yes, with the sun.
Yes.
You keep going
and while you do that,
we can maybe jump to another
place.
Apolline and Sally,
you've been in
Soren
for maybe a week.
What do you think?
Yes, that's what I thought.
No, no.
Thank you.
You've probably found
a place to sleep.
What's your plan
before I give you any
descriptions?
Find a place to sleep after
we've been traveling
for a couple of weeks.
And then...
Library.
Is there some kind of mineral museum
here in the city? I don't know, are there any cool museums
here?
Yes, there are.
They have a mineral museum.
Tourist attractions, I think.
With my blue eyes.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
Buy a capsule, let it go.
So, money for the person,
Margo.
This explains the trip,
with a lot of money, now we're starting
to start
the account.
Yes.
When do you think you
want to start?
Soon, we've probably been out
and maybe on a...
You're probably
in Stone's Throw,
which is the biggest indoor area.
And most of the
people who travel
and especially adventurers are welcome
here.
In what you're going
down to the room for an early breakfast,
could you...
Yes, that's what it's called in
Norwegian and English.
Could you give us a description
of what you look like?
Yes, especially human-like,
relatively tall, a bit like
Hengspotse.
Brown hair, a bit
over the shoulders, has a typical
long green coat,
finnish-
double-edged
gloves.
And if we're out
walking, it's also pretty
clearly a crossbow
relatively
suitable.
Apolline is a
teething, she has
pink skin,
not light pink, but a little darker
color, and she
has long, dark
pink hair, with a panoramic,
a bit of a sharp facial line and a bit of a
beard.
She's pretty dressed,
still ready to
travel, but she has a lot of
color on her, a lot of
fabric, not so much leather and
metal, mainly clothes that are
not very tight-fitting, but a bit
loose and comfortable, but still
fashionable. And she has
a belt
on her, where there's a coat
with three letters.
You three go down in the morning,
and get your daily
meal, and
make a plan for the day.
Have you
already been to the Mineral Museum?
No?
So I was thinking that today we could visit the
Mineralology Museum.
Okay.
Well, I haven't been there before, and they
got really pretty rocks.
And it's here, it's written
here, I take a little book
and put it in here.
This is like number nine.
We've done the number one
to eight, so it
only feels appropriate to finally go to
number nine. I figured we were kind of
scraping towards the...
Well, sure. Yeah.
The first day you were in Raven Spring,
which is a local bathhouse, and
very nice after the trip.
There wasn't number one in the book,
but it was number one for us.
Okay.
Minerals, sure. Rocks.
Stones. Pretty.
Well, crystals, minerals, rocks.
I think they got some, like, precious metals as well.
You know, veins from
that have been taken
from the mountain. Okay.
Sure. Super interesting.
Okay.
Okay.
I think we can
take you there at once.
Still, in the
Great Star district, you go
closer to the north-east
of the city,
which is closer to
the mountains.
And three in again.
Stone building.
With pretty
nice windows, like pretty old
inside, with pretty thick
walls.
On the outside, it says Soren
Mineral Museum.
Okay.
Is it...
You enter a
dark room, where
there are stones
painted in the corners, and hit
to give the ambiance that it is
a cave. And
in the distance, there is a stone reception
disc, a little thematic,
where there is a female
elf with
blonde braids.
I would want to go for the theme.
There is a theme. I can feel the theme.
Box.
Mines.
Yeah, definitely.
Hi.
Would you like two tickets to the museum, please?
Yes. Two tickets.
Just the Adrenal Over Ewing.
Sounds good. That would be
about five silver each.
Okay.
I think we should pay to run.
I think we can say...
But...
I don't have money, so you can just
have my money.
I'll pay.
Ah, all good.
What's the...
What's the
best rock you have?
The best rock?
Well... Most valuable.
Well, that is,
to be honest, the same answer.
It's the chaserix.
You may have heard of it already.
It's very nice. It's blue.
It's magical, they say.
Yes, it is very nice.
Is it like at the start of the
exhibition, or is it towards the end?
It's kind of towards the
late middle part.
Thank you.
Well, enjoy yourselves.
That sounded better than I
expected, to be honest.
Magical box of fun. Yeah. Especially
the chaserix.
Valuable magical rocks.
They allow you to do pretty cool stuff
with magic.
I don't know anything about that.
Cool stuff.
You three are inside
around the right entrance.
Then you start to curve around the
square building, circling around
behind the reception, it seems.
And the first room actually
shows the local
rock types in Soren.
There's granite,
and other rock types.
You can hold it.
Maybe even some marble,
so you can shine through.
You can take the one I took in the
caves when I worked there, when people
asked me in English, what kind of rock is this?
I don't know what it's called in English.
In Norwegian we call it gråstein.
Oh my god.
Gneiss.
There's some gneiss as well.
Because they have caves and stuff
in the rocks on the sides, right?
Both in chaserix and
in gråkjære.
So they have gold and silver?
In the first room it's hopefully
just rock types. They give
a broad insight
into what it looks like here.
But as you pass
into the other rooms, you start
to see some metalwork. First you see
iron and copper.
And some simple tools
that are hung up around the room.
Different types of pickaxes
that they have worked with.
And mainly it looks like
iron pickaxes is what they
go for.
Then it tells
a visual story of what
the caves have discovered.
And in
room number
3
it's
a completely different atmosphere
than all the others. It's
blue lights up, and even
the windows in and out are tinted
blue. And the light in the ceiling
is just a big chaserix
uncut jewel
that obviously gives off
a lot of light, naturally or unnaturally.
And here it's
set up. It has been set up
in all the rooms, like small
plaques with
text, and here it's
discovered in
the chaserix mountains.
I just have to think a little bit.
It's probably just some
ordinary information.
Yes, some basic information, like
when, where, who, and
further care.
Some background on why
chaserix has become such a big part
of the work in
Polar, really.
That it's easy to
it's easily mutable.
You can easily change
its properties with
arcane or divine spells.
And doesn't seem more
tangible than other natural
materials to that.
It's also said
that Cephyll
people, who are
broadly regarded as
those born on the calendar,
have a special connection
to the chaserix
in either its faith or its
daily activity.
And it seems
to look at it as
a central part of
their own identity.
More or less, of course.
There are some
researchers, how
it has evolved from
oh, this is something we can
use to light a candle, to
this is something we can actually work with.
And I started coming in
to the chaserix academy,
which is a branch of Raggoth University
where they give more
of the research to this
stone, and what
you could do and not
do with the stone.
Moving on to Room 4.
Excuse me.
Do you recognize this stone,
or the stone type?
It's U-I-Mi-Mi-Nye.
What's it called?
Impossible to recognize.
Impossible to recognize.
You recognize it
again at once.
I feel that
U-Mi-Kennely is a word.
That might be it.
It's extremely
recognizable.
Extremely recognizable.
Unrecognizable.
She confused me.
I know.
It's a word she's built on.
Unrecognizable?
Yes.
I feel that. Unrecognizable.
Unrecognizable in English.
Unrecognizable is a word,
and unthinkable.
In a way, a little...
Unthinkable.
Unthinkable.
Unthinkable.
Welcome to D&D, where we find out what words mean.
You recognize it again at once.
I don't think it's so much about
the rest of the story, but
it takes a lot of time to read
all of it.
It's a bit like
Nens.
There were some
called Sandro Sein,
Samia Amirani,
who did some research
on the Kessaryx, and found
a deeper
connection
in the arcane
and how to use it.
Not just on a daily basis,
but on a deeper
level,
which was a part of the
contribution to one of
the two signs of arcane
work.
What are the names?
Samia Amirani.
Samia Amirani.
S-A-M-I-A.
A-M-R-A-N-I.
It also says
A-F,
which means affiliated
to silvered barbs.
Is there anything else
you want to talk about in the room?
The arcane mountains.
Seems like a waste.
There is a lot.
There's some. I mean, it's called the Kessaryx Mountains.
I would guess that would mean
there's a lot of Kessaryx there.
Maybe.
I want you to talk to
this man, this guy.
Yeah, me too, actually.
That would be...
Do you think he's probably at the university?
Yeah, definitely. People like this
are always at university.
We haven't been to the university yet. It wasn't in the guidebook.
It was our original plan, though.
We just got a tiny bit distracted.
No, it's fine.
I mean, we're in no rush.
I mean, first time in the city,
we need to sightsee.
Yeah, and we also decided on gap year.
We have time.
I have indefinitely dropped out, so...
I have
not definitely dropped out?
No, no, no, but you're just on a break.
I'm just on a break.
And there's no point in taking a short break.
If we're taking a year, that means we have time to go to the university.
I mean, it will take, what, a few hours?
At most.
At most. We're fine.
I love you.
Let's move on.
To Team Blombergs.
Team Blombergs.
We have so much to talk about.
Team gap year.
Moving on to the last room,
it looks more like statistics, generally,
about the gap year.
How much they've taken out so far,
how big the activity is, how many workers,
and in a way a little bit more,
how the gap workers live,
and that they work in some kind of shift
that you do on an oil platform.
Not that Kalindra knows what that is,
but some days on,
some days off,
in varying periods.
There it comes out again,
to Foyenne,
and the lady says to them,
so, is it all alright?
Super interesting, thank you.
Really cool. The big rock, the best one.
Big rock, best rock.
Yeah.
Is anyone using it right now?
Well, it's lighting our
section of the...
both lighting and highlighting
the catharics.
Yeah, but anything more?
No, not really.
It's fairly low purity,
so it's not as
mutable as the others.
Interesting.
This...
Sami person.
Samia.
That's right.
Good memory.
The Sami person.
The Sami person.
That's the Sami.
I have a summer studio
that's going to come in, called Sami.
Do you know where
they can be found?
Sunrose?
No, Samia.
Yeah, we're doing a research project
on
Caesarean...
rocks.
See?
Good, I forget.
We would like to talk
to someone about it.
Well, you could always talk to me about
the basic information of catharics
and its...
museal values,
I guess.
We're not so interested in
the museal values, more like the
advanced properties.
Is he at the university?
No, he is actually part of
the mining operation.
He's the purity inspector.
Well, then.
Where can we find him?
He's presuming the mines? You'll have to ask
the related personnel.
I'm sorry.
It's fine, sorry to bother you.
Is there like one mine?
There are lots of mines.
Okay, so we would need to ask
somebody to find the right one.
Yes, I would presume that the mining office has
the related information about
where people work.
Good.
Great. Sure.
Thank you. Of course. Anytime.
But by the way, the
Samia person, I'm not sure if you heard, but
they've been
an adventurer for quite a long time, so I'm not sure
if they're active in the catharics
research area.
And they may not have a...
They
are moving around then?
Yes, I seem so.
Is there really a home base?
No home base?
I guess they have a home, just
I'm not sure where it would be.
Maybe in Dima, maybe
Serenity, maybe
Ishana, somewhere.
That's a lot
of different places. Yes, I'm sorry
about that. For all I know, they could be on a
different continent. Mine person.
Perfect, we're already here.
The mines aren't moving, so
thank you. Hopefully not.
Yes.
Thanks.
Thank you. Sure, have a nice day.
Come back if you want. That's not a purse.
Don't have a good memory for names.
What's up?
They're talking about...
They're so in a relationship with her daughter.
College dropout.
We
change the perspective a little
at the moment.
And return to Alexander.
Who is still
in the Great Star district
in the capital city.
And you're still being checked
by the young...
The young king, Alexander.
Where is he?
I don't have a very good
feeling about people.
I just
walk by and see
what she's showing me.
You have
gone... I want to say that you lost
touch with her, but it was...
You lost sight of her.
The visual touch.
The visual accord.
That's what I usually say.
Be prepared, that's how your Norwegian works for you.
It works for me.
It's very, very fun.
But you lost sight of her
after she passed the trade area
or trading district.
So you saw that she went north-east
in the direction
through the city.
Pretty straight.
I'm still following
and trying to see
if there's some kind of big
fancy public building
or somewhere where people
are talking.
More than they should.
More than they should.
This might be called a tavern.
Yes.
Let's see.
A tavern, a tavern.
Then I might...
Which way do you think
you want to go?
I feel like it's going towards the centre.
Yes.
Then it might be...
Then it might be our house window
that you want to go in the direction of.
Yes.
And that's in the direction...
Well, that's actually not the centre.
Apologies, condolences, apologies.
Condolences.
I might just go to the centre
and come to the area with a big open space
and if I don't find anything
or something in front of that...
By the big area you see
Stonesrow, which is an inn
and they have a tavern section as well.
You go in
and there is
a young man
who is a bartender
and he's walking up
and he's got a little stubby
beard, probably a little unsteady.
You can see that they haven't grown
everywhere so it's a little patchy.
Good morning.
How can I help you?
Would you like a room for the night?
What's up?
You're a young man.
I am.
Great.
I am.
Have you seen
someone
that doesn't live here?
All the time.
This is the largest tavern
in Soren so we have strangers
passing through every morning and every night.
Awesome.
It's pretty cool.
Have you seen someone
fancy?
I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm not sure either.
Do you know...
Have you heard about the Sylvan Barbs?
Yes, yes.
We have people singing about them most every night.
Are they here?
They are not.
I believe they retired some
20-30 years ago.
That's not so long ago.
I guess.
How come?
I'm looking for
someone that knows them.
Do you know where I can find any information
about them?
No, not really.
I must say I'm not very
well versed in
the whereabouts of former adventuring parties.
Strange people this morning.
Have you talked to other strange people?
Constantly.
This is the largest
tavern so it's the easiest one to spot and the
easiest one to go home to
when you drunk.
How much does it cost to take a bath?
A bath?
I need to clean
myself.
I just need to clean myself and then I
will leave.
We generally rent
rooms by the night.
But I could do you an hour and...
You might follow me if you want.
If that's what you mean.
No, no. I could give you an hour.
An hour's room time
by yourself alone to
wash yourself.
While I sit here and welcome
other guests in and out of the inn.
For just a simple bath
I guess I would put it at like
five copper.
Just clean up the
bath when you finish.
Yes, sure. Of course.
I'm so sorry.
Where is Discord from?
Quire.
I'm making a channel for
Eucalyptus.
No, no. It's pure Eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus.
It's pure Eucalyptus.
I swear I've heard
someone say it that way.
Or maybe I just misunderstood.
I'm going to take a bath
and wash myself.
And then I'll say
Thank you so much for
this nice bath.
Sure.
Thank you for
staying at the
Stone's Throw Inn.
Is there some place where
I can read about stuff that's happened
here? Read about stuff
that's happened. I would suppose the local library
would help you with that. Yes.
Library. That's a thing. Yes.
It is a thing. I've heard about them.
You've heard about libraries? Yes.
I am very impressed.
Cool. Me too.
Where do I find it?
I don't know.
For them?
He gives you
the direction to
the local library.
Thank you. You're so kind.
I can't ask for charisma checks
through the whole campaign.
Thanks.
Under the rain.
Under the rain?
I'm wet.
It has been my bath.
I would say it's that time.
I'll go to the library.
Okay.
On the way
to the library
I think
it's about time
to introduce the last part.
Aren't you stressed?
Yes, I am.
He just looks at me.
You've taken
a detour
if I may say so.
If I were to guess, you would have walked
through
the forest
which would have been
the straightest but also the most dangerous way.
Or you would have crossed
the river and walked
along the blue mountains.
The least human.
Along the blue mountains.
I'm not that worried
about things in the forest.
That's true.
We've walked through the forest
and it's been nice.
There's a lot of ants
moving around.
The danger is that the river
isn't as big as the river.
It's too hidden.
Is it possible to zoom in?
No, it's difficult.
Well, you've arrived
around the same time
the same day.
A little later.
And you've probably also
entered the Westwell district.
Would you like to give
a description of yourself
and
how you arrived?
We're ready to go.
Oh yes.
Oh yes.
Ike is a
human being.
He's not
a very manly man.
He's not very tall.
He's a little
crazy.
Coming from Enklikor
I'm pretty sure of him.
With clothes and everything.
Clothes that have been around for a long time
and are together.
Everything from
sand and dust
to ants and ants.
They've been on the road for a long time.
What about D4?
D4.
How old are you?
One.
There's a leaf that's stuck
behind your ear.
He's 17 years old.
He's tried to barber himself
with a very slender knife.
And the same hair he's tried to cut
his whole life.
So it looks like a croaker with half-crowded,
dark hair that stands in all directions.
And very slender.
And then I'm going to do this.
To see how good we have 9.
Okay, great.
And
what also makes Ike
look good,
is something about the skittles that go beside him.
On his
six-feet,
if they save themselves in the ring,
there's a big
skittles.
And how is this skittles dressed?
Thanks for throwing that ball at me.
Are you the one with the dress?
Yes.
You just have to have...
How do we disguise this?
I take this
to go out and get an updated
disguise.
We have
been on clothespins
for years that we've sneaked through.
Found some collars.
We might have shitted them
instead of them being white or whatever.
To make it look very clean.
To make it more beige, brown.
It was an experiment.
This should look like a dark cat
instead.
Now it's just shitting the collars.
Oh no.
Many teams
It's like a Jedi robe.
I'm confused.
With long arms.
It looks like a tree
I've made with a handkerchief
to look like a Jedi.
This is a heavy skittles
in a bag and a handkerchief.
With a heavy...
I haven't given away
his cap, which is
just a cap.
It's tied around the shoulder.
It looks pretty broad
over the shoulders.
And has a
heavy
fur collar.
No, no. I don't think it's
too much clothes.
You can just look into
a visor.
It's a shitting niqab
made of leather.
With a cap
on the outside.
I've tried to walk
in front of you.
And you look like a monk.
Ike.
Ike.
What is it, Ant?
How do I suppose
there's something moving
in the clothes?
Are you sure?
We dropped off that mouse a couple of weeks ago.
We might have returned to your bag, I guess.
I cannot reach
it.
Where is it?
It's a tiny little thug.
Okay, let's see. Pocket jerky.
Here, do you want some?
Give me an animal handling check.
It's the important stuff today.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
It's an 8.
Can I try to do a dex check
on trying to catch this mouse?
Or the rat?
Yeah, but you have to do a disadvantage
for an 8, which is not enough.
It's not mine.
So it's already on its way down.
It's a strong guy.
You can't take the mouse off.
I think we should...
He'll move away
eventually.
Let's keep moving.
Shit, that's a big gate.
Or is it a big popcorn?
You've been in
Isharad. It's a bigger gate.
But it's still the biggest
gate you've been in since you
left before.
Okay, remember what we talked about?
No talking, keep your eyes
and just pretend you're a monkey, no?
People that monks be, they don't want to talk
to your life's own philosopher, it's fine.
Yes.
Great.
We'll go through the gate now.
Put the stick in and...
What?
What?
And a...
I don't know what a disguise would be.
It was an 8 on disguise
when we rolled out to see
how good it was.
I rolled a straight 9.
I have a 21 on stealth.
Wow.
Okay.
I have a 6 on sack.
He's too distracted.
It's hard to be shy
because I saw the shit and snitches
that weren't here right now.
That's true.
Luckily it was...
Dog, you're small, so you get a lot of attention.
If you're lucky, you get a lot of attention.
Since then...
You keep going down, and it doesn't seem like...
It's something that takes
a lot of attention to you,
at least not actively.
Keep going in and...
Yeah.
I think if we're...
Where his grave is.
Cemetery.
Bury?
Yes.
People get buried.
Why?
Oh god, that's...
I need to think about this one.
This is a harder one.
This is a bigger concept.
It's more about traditions.
Remember we talked about traditions?
The weird things.
Yes, the weird things.
But I think if we're going to be taking
serious anywhere, we need to get
washed up.
Why?
Because we look like
homeless people.
But that
is correct thrust.
In a sense, yeah, but we're not
homeless in that way. We are travelers.
There's a difference there.
Yes.
And to be taken seriously,
you need to be well
and look like you can take care of
yourself and have money.
I have
money.
We need to pretend we have
more than we do.
But not in the way that we're telling
people, just we show them by how
we look.
There is more money in my bag.
That's exactly
what I told you not to do.
You know, the monk thing.
Arms here and no
talking because you're a mute
monk, yeah?
Yes.
Yes.
I mean one way.
Hey, where can I get a bath
around here?
Yes, sorry.
It's been a rough while on the road.
Well, we have the Raven Spring
where you can get a bath. Quite nice.
Also quite expensive.
So maybe not.
What other places though?
Just in case, you know.
At the local inn.
Or we always have the lake,
which is, to be honest, maybe the easiest.
Fair enough.
Just don't go back
again. Thank you very much for your time.
Have a nice day.
You too.
In lunch, we ask about
the miner's office and then we go there.
Then we go there.
Lunch?
Stunthrow?
Yeah.
When
Ike and Ent,
you also arrive in Stunthrow,
you notice that
they almost enter.
The first one
sneaks in, but the others
seem to have a problem getting in the door.
Don't.
That's sideways a bit.
Sideways, yeah.
Yeah, you're clear.
Should
I ask?
Why?
You know what?
Maybe it's good practice, yeah.
Yes.
I have faith in you, Ent.
Let's go. You can do this.
Ent comes to
go...
Who's the most nervous?
Can I ask?
Who's the closest?
Can I do an inside check
to see if I can pick
who I should talk to?
Yes, you can.
Give me an inside check.
Let's go.
Yes, a strong tree.
At the closest table
is the one sitting alone on a
round table, a bit gruff,
gray hair, very nervous,
sitting down in his food.
But he's sitting with his
body straightened out
towards the door.
So it looks like a
round table receptionist.
Ent is going to go up
and say
to the right
we would like one
room.
Could be worse.
Yep.
I think you're asking the wrong
person, Mr.
No.
Yes, I do think you're asking
the wrong person. Now let
me eat my food in peace.
Dad, I'm very sorry.
Sorry.
Ent, let's go. The reception is over here,
okay?
Do not touch me!
I'm very sorry, Ent, but this is kind of necessary.
Sorry, sorry. Now try again.
Point to the direction
and I will move there.
Circus and bread, I tell you.
This is stranger than I expected.
I'm going to go up to the next
person, who hopefully is
Bartender in the right direction.
With my passive
15% reception, how much
do I get?
How much? 15.
How much do you get?
With me by people who speak in the right room already.
There are not many here,
but the people who are here,
they give a sharp look at you.
I immediately stare at them.
There are even some who stare.
I have no sense of sight in this
half a year, which is a problem.
Television.
You stare at a finished
young man.
Good morning.
We would like one room.
One room. Great.
Here's the key.
Great job.
Is there a possibility to have
a bath, please? We could need one.
There's a bath in the room.
Okay, great. Thank you. How much is
the room?
I have money.
It's a three silver.
Sorry, how much did you say?
Ant, Ant, now open your bag
and start now.
You look out of
the backpack of this enormous figure,
then a little mouse will come.
There's a bag on the side, which has
opened, and it's hidden
so that it's facing straight, and no one else can see
what's in it. And you hear scraping
and general movement
of things. Stone, gravel,
quite a lot of strange things.
You feel it slowly but surely produced.
One silver.
Two silver.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes.
It's locked again.
There's a mark on the mouse that runs
in their direction, so it comes
gently into your left leg
and is like...
Okay, let's go to the room.
I think the mouse left.
I think so too.
He didn't.
Very sorry about the mouse people.
It just kind of...
I'm very sorry.
One silver. Two silver.
Three silver.
Okay, I'm gonna...
What do you think their deal is?
Okay, I have a guess.
That guy is a wizard.
That's a demon
that he summoned
as a serpent.
Because he was...
You know, he could
really see what was there, right?
I mean, he was like hidden under
a cape. No, it wasn't a cape.
It was more of a bedsheet.
It was a bedsheet, right?
I'm not crazy.
Okay, you guys get up and...
Try to wash these clothes a little bit.
If it's a demon!
Oh, right. Yeah.
But I mean, they wouldn't do anything
in public property.
So as long as we're doing the hair,
it's fine, right?
We should be fine.
Sorry, we have to get some water.
There are two buckets of water
in the bathroom.
Yeah.
If I hadn't come down
and picked up some water.
You guys go and wash it.
And before it's
done, we'd like to
know if you've finished eating.
And...
The time is probably
around 12 o'clock
now, if not more.
And you're starting to hear the sound
of bells on the outside.
Ding, ding, ding.
Calling fellow adventurers.
Anyone who can help?
I would like to say a few words.
Ding, ding, ding.
You're kind of hearing it
in the distance, but not that far.
You've started to swing
in the direction you think is a library
before you hear that sound.
I can...
We can...
You really need more money.
Yeah, we're kind of low.
We did great last time.
We did amazing.
Experience, right?
Yeah, but also we could
do with the money. I mean, last time we didn't get paid.
That kind of stuff.
But this seems like an official call.
So they will pay us.
Definitely, sure.
Just keep in the back,
there's probably going to be many people there.
Oh, really?
You're paid for everything.
Silence.
Okay, now we...
We're sticking our noses out.
Still a bit wet in the hair and stuff, Camille.
Have we washed our clothes?
I think we have
made an attempt.
We have made an attempt, so this is
the last one.
Maybe we should put all of them back.
This actually looks like a bedsheet now,
and not just dirty rags.
Let's remove this one.
Is it better to take them off now?
No, not really.
It's hard to improve
the situation.
You're looking at me in the new
disguise.
You know, maybe we should just
go buy an actual cloak for you.
If we are fighting, I would not
like the clothes, because it
gets in the way of the things.
Let's...
We were more inconspicuous before I did this.
Let's remove everything.
Yes.
So down the stairs, there's a
big humanoid
person in
the wet cloak
carpet,
who looks like he's in
an uncomfortable, tight
armor with various plates
that sit very, very close
to the body.
And it's definitely the same
person from above.
It's also
a helmet that's made of
a slightly different material
than the armor
plating itself.
And it's
one of those where
the metal is either so well
designed or so thin
that it almost
seems a little uncomfortable to wear,
but they've covered
the cloak so well, but it's
very clear that it's armor, but it
doesn't make much noise while
it's moving.
Yes.
Ding, ding, ding!
Anyone?
You...
You may have already
gone out. You're
on the stage and are looking
at the market area. There's a
small group of people
who are listening to
this lady who's standing
and talking.
This is a...
What does it say?
It's a female dwarf who's standing there
and she has brown hair
around her face,
small, standing there like...
Look at these great volunteers!
Wouldn't you all like to volunteer
and help the evacuation?
How many money?
Well, um...
One goal per evacuated
personnel.
How many are in the mines?
That is
under questioning.
We don't know at the moment.
Yeah, we'll help out.
That's alright. Cool, great.
Okay, so we have you four.
I know you, Laura,
was it? You wanted to go down?
Yes, I really have my own team.
Well, great.
Other people, okay, you can all work to the side here.
Well, as you all
know, it's been a rough past
time. The mines have been
becoming more and more
worked and
because of the increased activity, there are also
more dangers and in
recent times the wounded will not
heal properly.
So we would like to
increase the security, but first we need to
pull people out. And now with the recent
developments of last night,
we definitely need to improve.
What happened last night?
There was a collapse.
The mines moved.
Where?
Well, there was a collapse.
A minor one, but
some people are stuck inside,
might be wounded, might be hurt.
I have moved.
That's because I think
they might be...
I see that there are some who are known
for doing adventures. Maybe
someone knows someone.
So I just walk a little and then...
I don't know how close I am.
You are there.
I just walk straight up, just like that.
Barbs, help!
Evacuate the mines!
Oh, there's Lara!
Hey!
Hey!
She takes a little step.
Starts to disappear into the small crowd.
It looks like there are some people who are like
I have heard the general message before
to move on, and others are like
neomarized to have an armor on
and come to listen to
the fluctuating interest
that is on the sofa box.
She turns to someone else.
Do you know the silver barbs?
Yeah, do you?
Wait, do you know the silver barbs?
Did you know?
No!
I thought you pretended with the women at the reception.
What do you mean I pretended?
I pretended that we were interested in rocks
for academic purposes.
You didn't know?
No!
My mother is Samia.
Your mother is Samia?
Sorry, I'm really sorry about that.
That's fine.
We need to get to know those guys.
I thought you knew!
Everybody at school knew!
Do you know Apolline Frey?
Well, that's me. Hi!
Hi!
This is for you.
Oh, wow.
The university has thrown her out, by the way.
What?
You're expelled from the university.
Oh.
Your neighbor arrived.
Who are you?
I'm Descender.
Hi, Apolline. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Do you see this mark?
That's the logo for the silver barbs.
I can open a letter.
Yes.
Where did you bring this from?
At the university
in Indemore.
I think
I had some trouble getting there
because they threw me out.
Or they asked me to go.
And then they carried me out
so I couldn't go out
so they carried me.
And then I got there the next day.
And then they got it.
Because I said I was your neighbor.
Because I talked to your neighbor.
You talked to my neighbor?
That's my neighbor.
No, no, no. I talked to...
What did I call him?
What did I call him?
What's his name?
His name is Carly Zeds.
Carly Zeds?
She's a pretty grown-up woman
who lived with you for several years.
Oh.
Oh, she's lovely.
Yeah, because I was...
A bit old.
I was looking for someone in the silver bars.
Right.
Who gave you the letter? Was it her?
No, it was at the university.
They said it was at your desk.
You had so many stuff
so I just looked through
if there were anything valuable
that you might need.
Why did they expel her?
Because they said something about
gap year.
Properly executing
something of gap year.
It's just a bunch of bureaucracy,
you know.
Who cares?
I'm sorry to interrupt
but if you could just move to the side
so I could proclaim
the message.
Here, here, we have had
a collapse.
We have heard this yet.
Yes, but there are more people coming in.
There's been a collapse.
Pete was stuck in the mines and we need help.
Query.
What is a mine?
A mine is like a hole in the mountain
where you extract rocks
and even metals, you know, to make stuff.
You can work there
so you can make stuff.
Yeah.
Query.
You know, we talked about this, you don't always
need to say query before.
What is
silvery barbs?
You seemed excited.
I might have heard rumors
that they also could be
they have, you know,
the magic that we're looking for.
They might have been able to do that.
Okay.
Her mother is part of them, you know,
she might know how to...
Maybe we don't have to find the dead one.
Yeah.
I think this is
a good lead, yeah.
Yes.
Just need to, you know, casual and we need to befriend them.
You know, helping them in the...
Befriend them.
Yes.
I have a plan. I have a plan-ish.
We
are friends?
Yes.
We probably need them as friends.
That was nice.
Who was it from?
My dad.
Okay. What did he say?
No, just that he's
he wished me luck and that he
I told him that we were coming here
and then just a bit of an update on his
situation. And he's not disappointed
or anything that you're doing to get here?
Well, I didn't exactly tell him that.
I did. I sort of used the word
research trip and all that.
Yeah, yeah, and that's good words.
Partly funded by us.
I didn't say that in the letters.
Your neighbor.
Sally, we were roommates.
We were roommates at uni.
Cool. Nice to meet you.
You were?
Lisandre. Lisandre. Yes.
You were looking for my parents? Yes.
Why?
I remember
some friend
strange speaking woman.
Almost something like
your pronunciation.
Well, I did sort of pick it up from her.
Because
someone asked about
this thing.
That looks really
interesting. Can I touch it?
Yes.
I'll hold it if you can.
You can touch it.
I'm touching it. What's happening?
It's like...
Give me an arcana check.
Next one.
Bart?
Do you know
anything about this?
Give me a guess.
It's twelve.
Twelve.
You see black
when you touch it.
It's so white on a
circular
almost like when you take your hand
in a dustbin and see the ring.
It's so weak
a little bit.
Is there something special about it?
Or does it look like a standard K-Series?
It looks like a standard K-Series.
But maybe a little more than the others.
And it's so weak, pulsating.
It looks like that.
Maybe...
Maybe 60 pulsating
per minute.
It's connected to me.
Oh! You're attuned
to it or something?
I don't know.
I just got it when I was a child
and I remember this strange speaking
woman asked about
something like this.
At the reception
I got
an 18.
You saw it once.
It came out of my pocket.
Okay.
That's a pretty cool K-Series, Don.
Thanks.
Every ancestor
of me had one.
Until recently.
Hi, sorry.
You were also supposed to help
with evacuating people.
Should we probably get going?
We were supposed to help people.
Yeah, but should we get going maybe?
Hi, I'm Ike.
Nice to meet you.
This is my friend Ant.
That's a very cool
armor.
Thank you.
You don't see
any faces.
Ant is standing there
and moving
with his head
a little different.
It looks like a well-made armor.
Why did you get that made?
That looks awesome.
The hat is pulling.
I'm on the same team.
Exactly.
I got it.
Create a complete sentence.
I can
for the first time
with my super-ception.
So you're still 15?
Oh, no.
We're just, you know, volunteering to help people.
You're going to help with the mine as well?
I think so.
I don't know.
Great.
Let's...
It's sad for...
Maybe.
It's hard to say.
So these people,
which mine
are they in?
Well, they're in the closest mine.
Great.
Where?
Just give me
a second. I'm not done proclaiming
the message.
But people want us.
So we should stand here
and wait instead of helping people.
Great.
This is the first time I'm doing this.
Which way
do we go?
And then you can continue proclaiming a message
and sending more people, you know?
Right, okay.
But the dead people don't complain anyway.
Is that a threat?
What?
No, they are dead.
Right.
So all
groups who want to help in the effort,
join me and we will walk
to
the local mining area where I can show
you what is going on.
I've given most of the detail already,
but I can divide you into groups, I guess.
And she starts
leading the way out
north-over through
this way here.
It was
the rock,
the district.
Are you aware of your progress?
We are considerably cleaner.
That's not a question.
It's not
clean, but
we have made an effort to clean.
And the bedsheet
has been put back in the room.
Yes, I think Dad was the worst.
Dad was in no way the worst.
So what do you think about the demon theory?
I haven't heard of a metallic
demon before, I think.
You mean
stealth?
But you know, demons do wear
armours, probably.
Okay, let's see.
What do they wear?
I've seen pictures of demons with armours.
Okay, I hear that too.
Me too.
12 actually.
It's actually a...
No, 17.
New campaign hoodies.
13, is it? It's 13.
13.
13.
Can you tell the others
a little bit?
No, we'll be right there.
We'll be right there.
We'll be right there.
13.
Phantom Lancer.
Right, okay.
While we walk, I guess I can give you some information.
It's the Gatham mines.
It's one of the
not oldest, not new
but it's one of the mines.
Just like generally.
There's been quite a lot of positive
caesarex found there, and so
the Clan of the Sengs and the leader
Sukana has kind of pushed
for further
mining there, and so
we've done more mining,
but it's been hard to
mine so much without
collapsing these things. And now it's happened.
Great. Are any people of
importance stuck in the mine? I don't
know. Did you
know, like
a vague estimate
of people?
Probably like
15?
Alright, 15 is better than 50.
Is the mine still
unstable? I don't think so.
I'm not a
archaeologist,
but I'm...
Why do you need us to go and
fetch them? Can't you just go in and
get them?
I...
I'm very
overwhelmed. I
think that
you guys seem very well suited
for this, and I believe
in you... I've literally never been
in a mine before.
I was about to say
me neither. That's
not true. I was there on the first day when we
were all given a showcase.
I'm more of
the office person, you know.
Have any of you been in a mine
before?
Yeah, barely on like a class
trip some
ages ago, but you know.
Can you like move...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Have I worked in a mine?
I haven't worked in a mine.
I can move rocks.
I've been to a bear cave?
I've never
been to a bear cave.
Why did you go to a bear cave?
Did you mean like a beer...
Did you mean a beer cave or a bear cave?
Beer.
Oh, bear cave rocks.
Every time.
I can't play this high.
It was almost my neighbor.
It was very kind.
Until it passed away.
Oh, it's so quiet.
Where in the hall are the
people?
Quite low down. It's
one of the newly opened veins, and it was
apparently less structurally sound
than we hoped for. I think
it's okay now. They've put up
like stilts and stuff, but there's still
quite a lot of rocks to carry out.
And seeing as the
situations...
Wait, are you hiring us
to carry the rocks
out?
No, we've heard some sounds from there,
but we're not really sure.
Are they monsters?
I'm not sure. Oh, but that's
a lot better, yeah.
A very, very
tired, handcrafted tree cave
that doesn't seem to work
in my hands.
I will go first.
Yeah, you could say it's
handcrafted.
Is it well-made,
even though it's old
and tired?
Yeah.
It looks kind of like a branch.
It's probably
a branch.
Can you give me a history check?
Can you put this away, please?
Because that was an 8.
Yeah, no. You don't know
anything about that
type of thing.
Shame!
For those of you who listen to sound recordings,
there's a note
in the prison.
Hold.
The non-mined caserex
has been used to illuminate, and we also
have torch sconces going down.
I can make
light. He can make light, so you know.
It's all good.
You want to give spellcaster?
Yes. Oh, so cool. What can you do?
I tap on Stein.
It's glowing.
See?
I guess it's practical in a dark
light. That's
so useful.
Fighting things in the dark
is a bad idea.
My parents wouldn't be
proud, but I can make light.
Okay.
I can.
I can, but it's more like
I can light something up.
Okay, so we're well equipped. You have
a bow, you have a rock.
I have the sword as well, but you know.
Very cool armor.
I have.
And you can see that
he takes his hand behind the ring
and takes off
the shield. A
sharp round shield, which is always the reason
that they have a very broad shoulder.
Which is
attached to the arm with a clip.
And a bad ass shield.
It's a modular
armor?
Yes.
Yes.
They're pretty
well.
They've
worked as a mercenary before.
Fantastic
craftsmanship.
So cool. I'm so happy I've
seen this now.
This has been a fantastic day so far.
Except for all the people being
stabbed, but we're going to rescue them.
Yeah, let's start
walking. Yeah.
And Ant
is going to
beat your head in the first
wave.
You're going into the cave
and get some
feedback from the people
out there.
Are they like torches on the wall?
Yes. Are they hit now?
They're burning.
Hello!
Trapped people. Hello.
Hello.
I'm sorry.
She said
the... What was her name again?
Laura? No.
Laura. No?
Laura was the other
party.
I didn't ask.
She's been a bad woman on the street.
Yeah. It doesn't matter.
She said something about monsters. Maybe we should be on the outlook for that.
Hello, monsters.
Okay.
Let's go with Bujaspent and keep our eyes open.
Okay.
Wow.
That must have been
expensive.
That was a gift.
Yeah, makes sense.
What is that supposed to mean?
No,
I wouldn't be able to afford one myself.
So, you know, getting one gifted sounds like
the probable way. Like my sword.
I got that gifted.
Wouldn't be able to buy this.
Where's your sword?
Does it look better than the other one?
It's very well made.
Yeah, go for it.
No, no, no. Use that, not the bow.
Yeah, but you know,
you use the bow and then you have to use the sword
when they get up to your face.
I do not be there.
Oh, strategy.
Let me try that again.
I should be in the front.
That is also true.
I support that strategy.
I'm going to take a look around.
It looks like you're doing an effort to
keep watch.
Can I get a marching order?
First.
Oh, I'm
first.
Useless drawing.
None of my drawings are
unusable, except for the ones that
look like my sword.
A drawing that is not actually a
weapon.
Do I need a D4?
So far.
There's more to it than a D4.
I just need a mini
so I can get a D4.
You're going to kill me.
Okay.
Okay, let's go there.
That sounded crazy to me.
So that's me, I think.
That's you too.
Where is the front?
Okay, then I'll probably go
first.
Ant has walked into
the hole without looking very
nervous.
Okay.
Everyone has translated
these drawings and then came in and just
solid.
Solid, bro.
Oh god.
Okay, so you continue to go in and
hold your watch.
I would also like to hold my watch.
You can do a perception check
for the group, so either one with
advantage or roll for you.
I think maybe
okay, it's up to
you.
I don't know.
Okay.
15 plus
7,
which is 22.
22?
That's pretty high.
I need to get a pass in perception
if it's easy to get on the phone.
13, 17.
I would say
all.
I think maybe we can start with Sally
because you recognize it again.
The smell
you smell
reminds you
reminds me of something
you've been to before.
Can you give me a history check?
Maybe.
17 plus
I can't
test my 15.
15.
It reminds me a little bit of the
smell from
Born
you fought against.
Wild boar.
Yes.
Really?
The smell, does it remind you
of
the boar?
Right?
Right?
A boar?
It wasn't a normal boar.
Something was really wrong with it.
It has been corrupted by
fumes coming out of the cracks in the messer.
Crack fumes,
yeah, those can be bad.
No, but it had like
gotten into him and then it morphed
into something weird and it was like
the purple pus leaking out of it.
It was very gross.
He fought it no problem.
Okay, we'll leave it to you.
Should we let you go in front?
Same strategy.
Let's keep moving then.
It's starting to look like a road sign.
And it doesn't look like
there's any clear marking.
They have a choice.
One side that goes
further down, while the other
side that kind of shrinks to the side.
And it's also a little narrower.
Is there any sound coming from?
With your 22
you would hear
the sound of
maybe
a gravel stone
going up and down
and up and down.
It's something that continues to settle
a little after some acuity.
I don't hear where it's coming from.
When you hear
with your 22, you hear
that it's on the left side.
It goes further down, almost faster
than usual.
It's a cloud that kind of bolts
into the
left side.
Left, right, left.
Down, down.
I think down.
I think so. Does any of it
look newer?
I hear the sound at the same time
as it starts to settle.
People are saying that it's a new part of the gravel.
It's not like the bolts
aren't as rusted as the
previous ones.
Let's keep going this way.
It's still pretty steep.
Then I can get
maybe an
athletics or acrobatics
for you to choose.
I can do
acrobatics too.
Show off.
It's a 16.
18.
19.
10. 12.
You all get down pretty
easily without any difficulties.
You, with 10, notice on a small
edge that it's sliding so wide,
but you manage to take it against you.
I'm trying to get some natural
knowledge from when I was little.
When you notice that it's sliding,
take a hop into the side and come
closer to the toe.
Nice.
You'll regret it again,
and now I see
the distance. The light
casts shadows over
and the shadows look
like stones falling.
When you turn it around, you see
that it looks like it's collapsed.
No sign of
any
people or anything
and it looks pretty
still.
Should we shout for somebody?
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Why did you do that?
I expected that there were
none, so...
Hello?
No, it was the echo.
And it's just...
Is it completely blocked?
It's completely blocked. It looks like it's
washed a little down and
laid down like a kind of scroll.
So it looks like it's maybe
the thinnest surface, but it's also
difficult to get so far out to carry the stone.
But it goes all the way to the roof?
All the way to the roof.
One stone at a time.
Maybe we can blast it?
Blast it?
No.
What about you? Can you
blast it?
I can try something, I learned.
Step a bit away.
More than five feet.
I'm very used to this.
I'm going crazy.
If you go just a few steps
and realize that
the others have gone a long way back
and actually a long way behind him.
A long way behind him as well.
You just see that I'm doing
something weird.
And when I clap,
it comes like this.
I took a thunder clap, which is
cantrip.
So everything inside is
blocked.
It's blocking.
Yeah.
Does each creature within range of the
new must succeed a constitution
saving throw?
Or take 1d6 thunder damage?
Yeah.
Then you can roll
your thunder damage.
Five.
That's fine.
You start to push some
mountains away.
Just some?
Some stones are pushed in
and pushed in a big way.
So it doesn't
fall down
immediately.
But here it's like...
And it starts to
fall down from the side.
And you don't know if a small opening
opens at the top there.
And the solution is given
because there's a little head
sticking out.
Hi!
Are you here to help?
I'm trying to push
stones out from their sides.
Ant will start
to help to
push stones out from their sides.
How was your casting
magic in a more traditional way?
Or was there something special about your casting
magic?
Very traditional.
Ish.
I think I've seen it before.
Just not the traditional one
you're used to.
I have my own tradition.
But you could also say that I
voted for the crystal in my hand.
Yes, you used an arcane focus.
We start to follow up.
And get it out as fast as we can.
Thanks!
Can you help me?
One, two, and three!
And when you pull it out you see
that the clothes are torn up here.
It's not bleeding.
So I've been able to buy some
clean clothes.
We've come easy.
We start to bandage up a bit.
Just to help.
Can you give me a medicine check?
Okay.
I have some
healing herbs.
You have healing herbs? Yes.
Let's help out.
Can I get a little medicine?
Can I get a little medicine?
Both.
I don't know, I need to think.
19, 20, 21?
14.
They help bandage up and you start
to put some leaves that look like
they have a smaller effect.
And when you see it, it seems like
you've got a weak infection
that has already begun to take place.
Have you heard calls?
No, they were...
Well,
there's two more on the other side
with me.
Alright, then we'll try and get them out.
What happened?
Well, there was a collapse and then we started
getting this bad...
Oh shit!
It's...
Clothes...
I think some fumes have started
to release.
Do not put them in.
Ant is going to
continue digging in the hole.
We found him in one hole,
and now the others.
Don't worry about it.
You need something to tie around your face.
Oh, thank you.
Yes, do it like that.
So, we
are going to try and help out
Ant.
I can...
You may have presidigitation,
so I can make a puff of wind.
Can I just...
Continue to puff you in?
Yes, or at least
something else, not like
all the time, but something that
just puffs you away.
It has a weak little pink color
to it, so you can see
when you start it.
We can do it together.
Oh, wonderful.
Just keep an eye on it,
we should probably...
Move out the rocks, and then we'll try to
keep the gases away.
Hello?
Hey, are you many over there?
Are you okay?
There's two of us. The others are
deeper in.
Are you injured?
No, I'm good, but I'm just a bit
scuffed up.
Are you breathing the gas?
Yes, we are breathing the gas.
Can you help us out?
If I look at the top now,
in order to...
Can I start climbing up and see
if I can get over?
Yes, and if you look at the other side,
there are two people sitting down at the bottom.
One looks like she has some problems
with her legs, and the other is sitting in the V-shape,
and she probably has spoken with you.
The one sitting in the V-shape,
and the other sitting in the V-shape.
I think once we start doing this
continuously, we'll take a trill rod and
just use that instead of the hands.
The bag, the rope.
Throw it on both sides.
I'm going down on this side
and help her climb over.
Great.
With your combination, you can
climb over on the other side.
It almost doesn't work.
But instead, you win away the wind.
Win away the wind.
This is going to be tough.
I'm just going to put it on.
And then you just have your arm
in the way.
You get the other one on the other side,
and they are still standing still.
And the other one starts to climb
on the other side,
and gets over.
I think...
You said there's more people further in?
Yeah. How many?
At least three?
Yeah, I think it's
four more.
They were
looking
poor.
Are you able to help her up?
Maybe
with both the length
and how difficult it is.
Maybe a snow time.
Puss?
I didn't know that it could
affect people.
If it affects animals, it can affect people as well.
Puss is like...
I wonder if something...
How would you describe puss to someone
who has never seen a puss?
Well, puss is a
liquid that is produced by our bodies,
usually is a way to...
Yeah, that's very gross.
So if you have a wound that gets
infected, then puss
can leap out.
So it's not blood, it's something else.
And other fluid that you leak?
Yes.
It can be transparent,
obviously it depends on the race,
but for humans
it's most like a
yellowish fluid.
We've seen the
consistency.
I don't like that I don't have it.
I just feel like a human.
I don't want to.
But I think
you're all leaking.
You don't leak?
No. You leak?
If you do.
Everybody leaks if you
poke hard enough.
Oh yes, I do leak.
But it's not nasty.
What are you?
Human?
Is that a basic
insight?
Passive insight.
Even with my passive
insight of 10,
you understand.
I think even Ant
understands.
Human.
Human.
They're not a demon, okay?
No, obviously.
I am human.
No, no, no.
Are you a demon?
I'm human.
Human.
No.
I am one.
I'm going to keep climbing
and see if we can get the others out.
Yes, help people.
Table that and go further in with this.
I'm just definitely a human
person.
It's working.
I have no idea
how to cure people who have been affected
by that. Maybe the animals will just
kill them.
Yeah.
Maybe if they get away from the gas.
Maybe if we can
get them out of the gas, knock
them out.
I could try to pray
really, really, really, really, really hard.
What's with the gas?
What is it?
When we were traveling to
Soren, we
stumbled
upon a couple
creatures that had
mutated basically.
There had been a crack nearby
with the leaking sort of like purple
gas. And they smelled
really bad, just like the smell.
It was such a bad smell.
So it seems like
a similar thing.
Well, it smells
about the same taste too.
This is a
different smell.
How many pink and purple gases do you have?
I mean, the same smell,
same color of the gas.
I haven't seen any pink or purple gas before.
This
is weird.
Yeah, but we
will try and we'll keep an eye
on each other in case any
of us start
I will not pass.
Good.
Good to know.
Good to know, Ant.
Have you
spoken into the top?
Is it big enough for Ant to get through?
It's big enough that Ant has stopped
and turned her clothes on and made it easier
to carry things away.
Maybe.
Is it
a drop?
Are we at the top of
climbing all the way up?
It's not very far.
I was just thinking, in case we were going to leave the rope
if we need someone else who is injured
to get through.
You are the only one who has a rope.
I don't think I have a rope.
I have bought many things for this
this would probably have helped
to get up in this situation
up in the mountains.
We should have had a rope now.
I have learned
to be a fairy.
You learned to be a fairy.
I think we should put on some makeup.
Yes, yes.
I took proficiency in
forgery.
Hell yeah.
Anyway.
We continue in the same direction, I think.
Is it a new race on the other side?
No, it's not a new race. It looks like it's stopped for a while.
But here it has been put together a bit, and it looks like less work has been done.
It looks like they've been working in this area.
Here it's a small break, some small corridors.
It looks like it's been filled with friends, to see if it's deeper and more inside.
Here it's the main room, where there was a race for the biggest opening.
Is there anything exciting I can put in both of them?
It could be a perception check, or an investigation.
You see after, so it's a perception.
Yes, investigation. It's mine. So there's a tree.
It's an investigation, so it's a perception.
Okay, a perception, then it's a seven.
A seven, yes.
It's what you must call graystone.
You pick up a graystone.
Yes, it disappears in one go.
If you have a passive investigation, how does it work?
It works in one way, where you observe the small details, and how easy it is to pick up details.
Maybe there's some banana bread too.
I just have a high on this one.
The only one?
Yes, it's actually 16.
By keeping an inspection while it's going, you see that there are some sprinkles in the walls.
Sprinkles in the walls?
Sprinkles and sprinkles that crackle.
I think it's broken.
But it looks like...
And it's not like the sprinkles come out of the other places.
It's more like the shadows are leaking out from the walls.
I have a mechanical question.
Yes.
I'm a bit tired of the sprinkles.
I'm not sure if I have a problem with the smell.
If you had a paladin.
That would have been difficult.
I would say that you have the same five senses that all humans have.
Yes, that's true.
Are we normal? Human?
Yes, normal. Human.
Yes, of course.
You notice something more like, this is a smell that is not healthy.
But it's not like it hurts. You sense it without it hurting you.
Oh no, I actually don't smell the sprinkles.
It's going well.
Shut down smell sensors.
Warning, warning.
Turn off.
I don't need that.
I'm wondering if...
I don't know, I can't spell it so well.
But it looks like it's the sprinkles that caused the collapse.
That would be an investigation.
That would be an investigation. I can do an investigation.
I'm not ready to do an investigation. You can help me.
I'm counting on you.
Okay, fine.
Then it's an 18.
It looks like several of these sprinkles spread out over the walls and towards the ceiling.
And that's where it looks like most of the areas seem to be the least stable.
So it looks like it's likely that the formation of these sprinkles has led to the formation of a race.
Okay, so that's bad news, I think, because she said the mine was completely stable and everything was fine.
We should be careful with creating new ones.
Yes.
I want to clap.
It sounds like a good idea.
Should we just continue further and see if we...
Is there more light?
There's no light here.
Are there more torches?
Nothing.
I would prefer some light.
There are two torches, but that's two.
Because I did not see anything.
Do you have something that...
There are no torches either.
There are only torches.
I'll take the torch.
So the torch will light up in an hour.
It's...
Is it light?
Yes.
No?
No.
Oh.
Okay.
Is it light concentration?
Oh, no.
It might be.
It might be.
I think it's better to stand.
But if you cast again, it dismisses.
Yes, it dismisses the previous one.
And if you cast again or dismiss it...
I want to light every dust particle.
What's your favorite color?
Blue.
Lusigbybratt.
Yay.
Oh.
I didn't know you had a favorite color.
That's cool.
Yeah, let's get going.
Lead the way, Ant.
Yes.
You see some small drops of blood lying there.
And it looks like one of the others has been injured.
Can I try to see the blood?
I see it normal.
Does it look like it's mixed with a bus?
It looks like it's normal.
But as you continue inwards, it looks like something is changing.
In a way, the color gets darker.
And the amount starts quite large, so there might not be a lot of damage.
But then it has softened as the color gets darker.
This looks bad.
It doesn't build well now.
Well, the animals we met, they went crazy.
Practically rabid.
Yeah.
So we tried to...
Well, we can run.
Do you know if we could save them, like undo the...
I have no idea.
We didn't try.
Yeah, fair enough.
But we can try again, we can try to knock them.
We tried to subdue them.
Tied them up.
Yeah.
Maybe bring them to some kind of clarity once they're outside.
Yeah.
Healer.
I'm going to...
You're going to hear a sound in that...
In that...
In that...
I don't think you can see it from behind, because I put it down.
But you can hear a sound that goes tsk.
In that...
It calms down with a short, short sword.
You can hear the distance.
It increases in volume when it gets closer.
Yeah.
The sound.
Who's there?
Be ready.
Is there a place where we can...
How are the cage walls here?
I don't think we have a tour guide.
We can test this.
I see this tour guide.
Disappointing.
And then you can do it.
Hex grid.
Hex grid.
We have to turn it off.
It's not common.
Yeah, it's common on this side.
It's hex grid.
Hex grid.
Okay.
So it's a trend.
Maybe you've gotten a bit better and it's gotten thinner.
And then it seems like it's opening up a little more.
And this is just going out like a little alcohol.
Yeah.
Is that the crack here?
The crack is a bit sporadic.
But it's not like you have more crack in the back.
And that it's...
In front of it, it's much thinner.
Where does the sound come from?
In front of it?
Yeah.
Wait.
Then it's in front of it there.
In front of it there.
The end, of course.
Yeah, something like that.
I think the end is fast and then it would have armed itself with its long sword.
And if it's there, then we have to move it up a little if we're going into another room.
This is a long sword.
That's nice.
Damn, it's so shiny.
I feel strong.
Strong.
You can do it.
Believe in you.
Girl.
I think it's going to be okay, but it's going to...
Is it a skull?
Yeah.
It's a...
Not a...
A skull.
I think it's going to be okay.
It's a...
Skull.
He's not going to say anything.
For those who are listening, I'm going to lift it.
It's a skull, but he said skull.
Okay, I'll draw it nicely.
Woo.
Do we have a barrel?
I'm going to go get it.
I'm just going to write that it's a completely new woman.
I'm also going to write that you are.
Yes.
Just in case you want to.
I'm not going to say anything.
Thank you and praise you.
New campaign, higher quality.
Yes.
That's why I now tear up paper to make skull walls.
Yes.
Yes, but that makes it very natural.
It does.
I'm going to sponsor you.
Yes.
Where's the paper?
We have some pepsi, if you want.
I don't know what kind of pepsi it is.
It's not mine.
We bought it thinking about you.
Almost water.
Hehe.
It's a very important item.
Yes, it's important.
Choose.
It's not very natural.
Yes, it is.
Just build off the last white paper.
Yes.
Oh, it's the basque.
Aha, I said it first.
I feel much better than you.
Just one point.
One point? What's the point?
The point is that you're using a house.
Is it like a stone in a book?
Yes.
Nice.
But you don't have anything to say when you don't have a book.
No, that's true.
Or a cover of my soul journal at home.
Mhm.
Oh.
It's a research project.
It's a very delicate project, actually.
It's banana bread, but it's gouda cake, but it's cream cake.
Oh my god.
I'm holding on to what you're saying.
What did you write?
I used a banana bread script and improvised the rest.
Yes, that sounds really good.
I want to try.
What are you going to show us?
Yes, I'm going to show you a head seller.
Oh.
My favorite seller.
Very good, okay.
I've tried several head sellers.
We can maybe take a break while we eat.
No, no.
We can just do it like this.
And then we pull from ten minutes.
I can stop in the meantime.
It's too difficult.
I have about five minutes break while we eat cake.
We can do that.
Cake brush.
Cake brush.
Yes.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas.
It was good perch music.
Do we have Katerina and her nice song for us?
It's her well-built song.
Yes, this is a song that has a synchro.
Yes, it's a summer background that you actually can also sing with.
Okay.
He's shouting, and we have to let him do this because we wanted to.
Now come...
Yeah, thank you.
One failed check, didn't shown going anywhere.
I think we said that.
I can't think of a learning word.
What is nut?
Where are we?
Try not to kill them. Just shoot them with the bullets.
I can make them sleep.
Do that!
I walk around with full light on my shoulder, because I don't know if...
I'm trying to walk still.
Still?
Yes, still, but not necessarily.
If there's nothing, we don't sneak along the wall.
I can roll instead, if that's necessary.
I'm just looking at it like this.
You're going to rush?
It's a little...
I think it's better to put them up and down.
You roll it up and put them up.
It's really beautiful.
Just put it up first.
Into the nasty cage with you.
Smash it!
Paneer shit.
Ogi, what's your stealth check?
10.
13.
16.
3.
I love it.
Have I bent my shoulder against you?
You're reflecting on your shoulder.
I'm standing there.
In the middle of the light.
We're in the headlights.
It's really cool.
They don't have a passive perception.
They don't have a sense.
Oh, no.
Nice.
Yes, you sneak in here.
And see in the distance that it is...
I have to have another one here.
It can be...
Here it is a...
A wall that looks like it's bent.
Try to be quiet.
It might be more...
Here on the map, in a fully-fledged hook.
And you see around that there are...
Creatures that...
Swirl.
Where they stand.
Don't ask me.
Where they jump around.
Look...
They look a bit dead.
They don't look fantastic.
It looks like it's...
Former mine workers.
Who have gone down to just rummage through clothes.
Probably because of their damage.
And have scrapped things along the way.
And it looks like they have taken a lot of damage.
Which has made this warehouse work pretty fast.
And it doesn't seem like they're in a particularly good condition.
And...
Humanity, or dwarfism, seems to have left them.
What is that good thing?
There is a dwarf that looks like he still has his grip.
Which...
Has the ability to become quite aggressive in his life.
Yes.
Is it the gas?
Is it the gas?
There is of course weak gas here in the whole area.
But it's less than it was back then.
So it can be put away.
Without too much immediate mechanical effect.
Yes.
You are unnoticed.
Yay!
Ant is coming.
I guess.
To start moving.
Out of the zone.
And I remind you that if you react very quickly, Ant will go straight into combat.
Okay, but you are the signal that we start the fight.
Okay.
I don't think I agree with that.
Since it's the other way around.
So I just...
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Get away from him!
Okay.
Surprise sounds.
I guess.
Then we can roll initiative.
Let's do it.
Instinct.
Yes, definitely.
Nice.
I think I'll start.
I think I'll go last.
I can just guess.
It's so beautiful what you're doing.
Yes, 24.
Yes.
24 points.
Yes.
I really like to call it that way, so it's not always right.
20 and higher.
24.
24.
And...
20.
Yes.
19 to 20.
15 to 20, I mean.
17.
It's good to hear after I don't talk anymore.
10 to 15.
5 to 10.
7.
7.
And...
1 to 5.
2.
2.
Did you roll 1?
2.
Oh, yes.
This is hard.
I've never done this before.
We don't have decks, okay?
1 is perfect.
Nobody's perfect.
Good job.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
That's how we like it.
It starts to sprint in that direction.
And...
Yes, it's a bit like that in the Ant Start Machine Overdrive.
You can hear a similar sound.
And it comes to take...
We have 30 feet, which is...
32 there.
6 tiles.
That's okay.
It's okay.

Okay, yes. Sorry.
Do you remember that you have stealth?
Me?
Yes, you have stealth when you come in.
Yes.
And when you go back, I think, I hope.
Yes, but anyway, we have thought of going forward a bit, just so that I have enough sight, maybe here, or something like that.
And then we shoot at...
Everyone is looking at you.
Yes, yes. I'm calling you.
I'm shooting at number three, then.
Yes.
With my rifle.
It's a Dverg...
I don't think it's that easy to shoot a name like that.
No.
You won't get bludgeoning damage, like that.
It's a 16.
It looks a bit...
It looks pretty dumb, like that.
Behind the...
It doesn't work very well.
16...
Can you hit it?
16, can you hit it?
So we get a sneak attack.
No, we get a sneak attack.
8 plus 3 is 11.
11...
Very little piercing damage.
Then it's okay.
You pierce in, and it just sinks into the side, and becomes worse than that.
And it's like...
I turn it upside down and cut it.
And that was Sally.
Yes, Sally.
Then it's...
Ouch.
And...
We practiced this here as well.
In stand-force mode.
Because I know that it doesn't get hard to bleed in the same way.
I concentrate very much on my fingers.
I concentrate very much on my fingers.
And in that green energy, I collect and spray as if it were a line along the body.
Or, how do you say it?
On number 2.
Number 2.
Then it's 18.
The weak man.
Yes.
18 before you hit a hit.
18 hits?
Yes.
Is it a girl's game?
Two damage.
I don't know if you understood that spell.
Maybe I don't think so.
No.
Then it's...
I heard some weird whistling.
For a quick round.
Yes.
Nice.
I'm going to take a new...
What am I most concerned about?
I'm most concerned about...
Maybe the number 3 there, which came now, is very close.
All these squishies.
It also looks like it has become...
Yes.
So from facing number 1, then comes Anne to turn around.
Jump under, shoulder up over.
And will go for the legs on number 3 with the flat side.
Okay.
Spin around.
Yes.
You can't hit that.
I think.
It's a...
Yes.
It's a six, you hit.
Six bombs.
Yes.
So it's a bomb.
And it's going to pull in the albino sides as well.
So that it gets it in a defensive...
Okay.
You sing it out, but it just takes it naturally.
And just learn to walk.
Almost by chance.
Damn.
Sinking in.
Lysander.
Lysander.
Yes.
I'm going backwards.
I'm just a little uncomfortable sometimes when I'm a little close.
Yes.
It's just outside the range, so that's okay.
I'm standing there.
Run away, but not too much.
A little bit like that, yes.
I'm going to try an ouch bolt.
Brave, brave.
Against number 3.
Nine for you to hit.
It's a hit.
It's not very smooth after all that.
All those fumes, man.
Two damage.
Yes.
Two damage.
It's going to be fun.
I'll just make the lumbar crystal spin, and then it comes.
Then it's...
Wunschbolt gets worse, it gets worse.
Concentration.
How tired does number 3 look?
Number 3 looks...
It doesn't look like...
Can it take a little more?
It can still take a little.
Okay.
But...
It looks like it can take a little.
It's bloody.
Yes, but as long as it can take a little, then I'll come to...
Instead of taking it with the trill rod, just take it with him and just firebolt.
I see a word in the infernal or something.
Firebolt?
No.
Firebolt.
What did you say?
Do you want me to put it in the infernal or the word in the infernal?
It's number 12.
Firebolt.
And then it takes...
Oh!
It was a lot of damage.
Wunschbolt.
Nice.
Wunschbolt.
It sounds like a bad spell.
10 damage.
I rolled a 10.
It's pretty good.
It's not that bad, right?
It is.
So you can feel...
How does your firebolt look?
It's just a completely standard red firebolt.
Yes.
It's a...
Basic tiefling ability.
It shoots out towards...
What are you going to do more?
That god-like thing there.
And...
Incinerate the side where the arrow went and...
Honestly, they look like very gone.
I don't know how much there is to save here.
I think we're doing them a favor by burning them.
Yes, that's my turn.
Is fire non-lethal?
No.
Then it's...
The other...
The other main job in the ritual.
Was it three, by the way?
It was three.
You can put it on the side.
Yeah.
Face down.
Yeah.
I think Enor will stand there and try to take one.
Yeah.
Come on.
We hired you to help these people.
We murdered them in the mine.
Don't worry about it, I believe.
It was humorous.
I'm going to do the reaction attack.
Because...
It doesn't have to do that.
So I...
From my low miss, I'm going to try to swipe up.
With the flat side.
So the hit will be a scythe.
It might hit.
It's a 12.
12 hits.
Woohoo.
Oh, that's going to be a lot of slashes.
It's 11 non-lethal bludgeoning.
I guess.
On number...
Two.
You can play a little more.
You said 12.
Yeah.
And...
It's 11.
It's 11.
Sorry.
Oh!
Yeah.
Because 7 plus 4 is...
That's right.
That's sick.
It gets cut a little in the middle.
A little bit.
It just...
Fuck.
Is that normal?
Without it, it must be a lot of blood.
And it goes on.
It's not leaking.
And it's the devil Ike standing there.
So it's going to run in and dunk you.
I am Ike.
And that's a 6.3.
That's actually a bomb.
Actually.
Actually.
It gets dunked.
And then you see that the devil who fell again rises up again.
Oh, shit.
I think I prefer it instead of that.
He's not dead.
They're not supposed to do that, right?
I burnt him pretty well.
Yeah, he looked roasted.
Alexander, this is...
More fire.
6 for your coffee.
Devil may.
Devil may.
Okay.
Then it's Sally.
You smell.
Calls...
Or gesticulates a little wildly against your apple.
A little bit like a retreat, or that I just want a...
Especially with hands like that.
People so drunk.
Laying backwards.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Yep.
But I'm shooting at...
Fuck.
I'm going to shoot at...
You're shooting at fuck.
I'm shooting at number three.
Number three.
Again.
Maybe we should put it in the fridge.
That's something.
I'm going to use reaction.
8, 3, 4.
Nice.
That's when it fails.
8, 3, 4.
8, 3, 4 is just...
Okay.
What?
And the man slams Alexander.
Okay.
He says that Alexander is out.
But that means that it goes a little further forward than you thought.
So film it.
But I have no idea.
I think it's like...
I have a bit of a headache.
It's...
I don't expect it to be something like a burn trick or something.
It's going to be fine.
But then it gets a bit of a sneak attack.
That was pretty cool.
12 piercing damage.
12?
Mm-hmm.
So you...
It slides into the back of the head.
But enough so that it cuts out a good part of the back of the head.
And it falls over again.
Then we can put it down.
Stay tight!
What the fuck is happening?
And I think we kill them.
Or try to.
Twice!
Okay.
Suddenly a murderer!
The board didn't do this.
While I dodge and he tries...
Both hands slice up with the longsword.
I see it coming.
I don't want to die and then do it.
Shout out!
It's 21.
234.
It's...
930.
It's 12 damage.
12 damage.
And that was the one that stands...
The high one there.
Inos?
Yeah, number two.
It...
Slides up and falls over.
It comes a bit like tarmac.
Ew, gross.
One, two, three, four, five.
I stand like this.
I thought it was a snake.
I thought it was a goblin combat mower.
Round three!
I think Ant has...
Actually, no one has hit Ant yet.
So Ant is going to turn to number three, which is missing now.
And take an attack for opportunity.
In what they leave...
Look.
Eight.
Boom!
In what Ant is going to move.
In what Ant is going to move.
In what Ant is going to move.
Boom!
In what Ant is going to move.
Up to number three, at full speed.
Take out his shoulder.
I don't know, re-flavor it.
Attack!
In what Ant is going to use his shoulder as a fall plate.
Over his chest and head on these falls.
In an attempt to crush what is, on the whole, significant.
I...
Oh no!
And definitely hide his own head behind the fall plate.
In that kind of shagging of the fall plate.
I don't know what I'm rolling for.
One for Smursh.
I would say it's an improvised attack.
So just a length of strength.
Okay, that's an 18-twit.
Hit, drop shot, also advantage.
Yes, it's down, so we can see...
No, it's...
What roll for Smursh?
It's an auto-crit.
Boom!
And it's dead.
But not only that.
It's also Smursh.
Boom!
Sandu, can you give me an extra scene?
Oh no.
Oh no.
True that.
Okay.
You let go of that repeat when your dad was going to make that local...
Local thing.
It splashes out in a land of snow on his legs.
Ant is going to stand up.
You hear...
You, you, you, you.
You also hear a little bit...
Yes.
You stand up.
That's my shining shawl now.
You also have a little bit of greenery there.
Let's see.
What comes to my sound library on the first thing we search for?
Pretty good.
It looks very uncomfortable, but it's there.
What do you search for?
Squishy.
Squishy.
It's just gore, actually.
It's often the most commonly used search word for things like this.
So it's...
Splat.
It's fast.
It's fast.
Splat.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Can you slow it down a little bit?
Oh, no.
Yes.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Can I...
Can I also move so that I stand in the middle with the number two...
Number two lying on the ground there.
But just so in case it rises up.
It rolls up to my nose.
That's it.
That was it.
Then it's just ready to...
I got it.
Under the drum.
There is friendship in traumatic experiences together.
Four of them, right?
No.
I just take...
He just knows.
I just hold the crystal like this, and then it comes...
I do this, and then a magic missile comes towards it.
And that's three to four.
They fly towards...
It's...
As you can see, there are three of them.
So it's two plus...
It's nine in total.
It hits in the side of it.
And it was nine in total.
That's a possible injury, but it's stunned.
I'm going backwards.
There's a new one that's falling.
Then it's just up and down.
I think I'm going to use my own action to cast Presididitation on myself.
I start throwing up my clothes and...
I don't think I can handle it.
I'm just...
And then I just cast Presididitation.
Sally calls you, get back, get back.
And then I move away from...
Away like this.
Before I call it.
Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five.
Thirty, yes.
The head backwards.
But I'm completely alone now.
Good girl.
What's the last standing zombie?
Ehm...
That's so right.
Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five.
Now!
I'm sorry.
We're good, we're good.
It hits in the side of it.
Yes.
It hits in the side of it!
It's the most annoying thing that hits.
I thought I had a bad day.
I didn't know that.
You take four bludgeoning damage.
That's what the head does.
It jumps into you.
And tries to pull you with its power.
I have a leather armor and no dex, okay?
You're fucked.
That was it.
If I die...
Maybe.
Then it's Sally.
With a move called Aight on the deck.
Twenty-five.
Ehm...
I think I'm good with that one.
So...
Number one.
Are you sharp or cubic?
One, two...
Sharp.
One, two, three.
I'm starting to get tired.
Tastes...
Dark taste.
Yes.
Black.
Little.
Yes.
It hits on one arm, because it's down.
So...
It's a dwarf.
But it's okay.
That one.
The zombie.
Shoot on the one arm.
Try to get rid of it.
I don't know what it is.
It wakes up.
Five plus five is ten.
That's tough.
Two.
Six plus three is...
Nine.
Yes.
It's seven.
Yes.
It falls over.
And becomes lying there.
Do you want to describe your move?
Yes, it's generally like that.
Maybe not longer than you should aim.
And then...
Because the vibe is a bit in between.
Maybe aim for a slither or headshot.
And go for headshot.
But it falls on top of it.
Hit it!
With your sword!
With your sword!
Try to decapitate it.
Rult attack.
Nothing happens.
Twenty to hit.
Oh yeah.
Head gone.
Is it one?
We haven't taken two.
It's still not decapitated.
Are you okay over there in the corner?
Split in two.
I'm fine.
Are you fine?
It wasn't...
Yeah, I was asking you.
How about you Mr. Dwarf in the corner?
I'm not doing too good.
Are you hurt?
Yeah, quite badly.
Yes, there are more people there.
A lot of them I know of.
Wait, can I...
I run up to him.
To that extent I can do it.
Oh no, I can't do it without letting him go.
Letting him go?
No, we don't do that.
I'm still standing by one of them.
She's just ready to...
Ant has prepped an action with the shield.
And stands and whips.
To take a new fall.
In mode number two.
Sally...
I'm on my way to that...
Just fall.
How does it look?
I don't have any...
It's like a Stranger Things thing.
Where everything you see just clumps together.
When he falls asleep, something appears.
The catch?
It seems like...
A piece of the shield has been taken out.
And you can see...
When you look at it, it looks like you're burning.
Okay, you need a killer.
That looks bad.
Um, would you probably wrap it?
You had herbs?
Yes.
Can you just...
I can help you.
I can help you if you're good at medicine.
It's like a pickaxe.
Medicine advantage.
If you're in the same heritage.
16.
16.
That's a number.
Yes.
And we manage to bandage and tie it up.
And try to stop the bleeding.
But...
It's going to get worse.
We'll need more to get rid of the binding.
Can we try to burn them?
What?
Do you want to turn into those?
No.
No?
Can we get me to a healer then, maybe?
We should get you out.
What should we do with the...
Lady Sabrina might be able to help me.
Lady Sabrina?
Lady Sabrina?
What's your name?
My name's Doldek.
Can you walk?
I?
Yes, stand up.
That way.
I'll carry you.
Which way?
That way.
Ew.
I don't want to touch it.
Hey, Apolline, could you help Ant with her shield and stuff?
Yeah, of course.
Oh, yes.
I'm not very strong, but I'm going to help Ant stop the bleeding.
Of course.
You look like you're suffering from angst.
You're falling and cramping.
I'm sorry, we had to...
Do you need that as well?
No, I...
You know what? Yes.
You're now clean.
Spotless.
Spotless.
Do you count them after you've just washed them?
Yes.
It's like all the blue that just...
The shirt is actually white now.
You thought it was beige.
Just pull it up like this.
And it becomes like a sword that just falls on the ground.
I'm sorry, we had to...
End your friends.
I think they're not...
I don't think they're my friends anymore.
Do you maybe...
I mean, it's quite hard to be friends with someone who bites your shoulder off.
Could you please...
We should maybe bring some proof to the people outside.
Maybe take a hand or the head.
Hand?
Why the fuck would you take a hand?
Because we need to know what exactly changed them and how that happened.
Well, we can go down again.
Just the whole clothes.
I don't want to.
Count, we just...
Okay, let's see.
Rope and...
Maybe like a piece of fabric or something.
Just take the head, wrap it up and then...
Okay, just...
Deal with dirty naked stuff.
Ed, could you drag him?
Yes.
Because we need to...
Excuse me.
Is there more friends of yours in the tunnel?
Not that I know of.
What's down there?
Mines.
Gas.
You know, there's been a lot of gas from your mining.
What did you see in the ping-pong?
Are we on walk and talk?
Yes, walk and talk.
Before we go, Sally just wants to take a quick visual inspection.
She doesn't talk about them, but she wants to look at them to see how they look from up close.
It looks like they're in bad shape, but not like they're in any changeable form at the moment.
No, have they... You said they had wounds...
Yes, it's something like that on the wall or on the dead ones.
On the dead ones?
Yes.
I switched over the machine.
Well, one of them is no longer there.
Yes.
But they don't eat that stuff anymore.
It got too cold and then moldy.
It doesn't look that good.
On the other side, there were small cuts and rifts.
They had started to form a black edge around it,
almost like a local cross had started to form.
And then veins had been stretched, but not necessarily the original veins.
New tracks had formed, strings through the skin.
And after it had spread from the cuts, the skin seemed to have fallen more and more.
And only in the middle of the back, for example, there has been no local damage.
So there you can see that, okay, this looks like a normal skin,
but on the other hand, it has been sharpened and...
...eclified.
I assume you two are the first ones, and then Ante Drasne comes along
on this piece you all liked back in Trondheim.
I'm going to go back and support him.
Did you get his name?
Doldek.
Doldek.
D-U-L-D-E-K.
I think...
It's going to be...
It's going to be put away.
In style.
I'm going to keep an eye on how he behaves,
if he's suddenly in a new class.
Just keep talking like a man.
If he feels angry, let us know.
How did you guys get down here?
We walked.
Impressive.
We cheered.
Who sent you?
I'm not in the mood for talks, sorry.
Some lady, we never got her name.
Dwarf.
Secretary.
She said the mine had collapsed and people need to be rescued.
Okay, that was probably Bonwin then.
Bonwin.
Bonwin.
B-O-N-W-I-N.
Have you seen these cracks before?
Is this a common thing?
There's been like small ones before, but this is more.
It's been like coming more with the increasing amounts of the bluestone.
Do you know what Zanner says?
Yeah, he's like...
Does he need to check the quality of stuff?
I think so.
Not like personally, but I've seen him a couple of times.
Usually hangs out by the miners' office when he's not in the mines.
Lucky he wasn't here.
Right, so who are you guys?
How did you get involved in this?
Nice.
You volunteered?
Yeah.
Money?
Yeah, I mean, brought you to get down to things, but yeah.
Adventurers, travelers, you know.
Good cause and...
Dozers.
Coin.
Let's see.
Yeah, more of a fancy title, but it's really fancy, but you know.
You smash things.
I see.
What?
We did.
Yes.
Do we get paid for bringing the dead ones out?
I don't even care anymore.
Not the time.
We have half?
Yes.
And this is not appropriate, like death and stuff.
We'll have a talk, but it's not appropriate.
Sorry for your loss.
It's okay.
It's pretty good.
Yes, you said that.
I'm trying to focus on how I can see more of the blue that's shining.
I would have stopped the moment we went out of combat.
Or I would have dimmed it in a much bigger way.
But I'm still trying.
Since I saw it, I'm trying to...
How invasive are you?
Very.
Are we in for touching range?
I have minus one on charisma, so probably.
Yes.
You want to be quite brief.
The shoulder will be placed against you.
And you will be informed to walk away.
No touch.
They're quite touch sensitive.
I wouldn't try.
There was some blue light.
It was pretty.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
There was definitely light.
One hundred percent.
If you're going to...
I hear the sound of a bee that goes very, very fast.
If you're going to...
You can admit that it is blue light.
You don't have to tell why it's there.
Or you can just lie about why it's there.
No, you shouldn't.
You're really, really, really bad at it.
The witness is a tip.
Don't lie about the obvious.
Lie about the not so obvious stuff.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Just a tip.
What does obvious mean?
All right, so one example of obvious
is the massive hole on my shoulder.
We've done the best we can.
None of us are healers or clerics.
Yeah, that's fine.
Another example is that you're massive.
Things that you see clearly without having to say them.
Yes.
And there's no point of lying.
Is he lying?
No.
I think we should get out of here
and maybe have a chat.
All right, can you help me across this rock wall?
Okay, let's get some rope and I'll help you up.
Or ants, do you...
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give that a toe with the dead body.
Do we have more rope?
Yeah.
Yes, okay, yes.
You take that and give me a moment.
Ant will walk up with the rope
and be awake on the other side.
So it's going to be...
When you push...
Yes.
And I'll help him up on the other side.
Go back and let me help you switch back.
Don't go on your face with the stone.
You okay?
I'm fine.
Nosebleed again.
Don't want to get an infection.
You would have the pus.
We should have...
Actually, in that case, it would be more snot, but sure.
What snot?
That sounds disgusting.
Does ant, the human?
Maybe it's this thing that comes out of your nose.
Why?
Well, when your sinuses get infected,
it produces a liquid that...
I don't want to know.
Then don't ask.
Give me the temporary.
It's a bit late in the day.
The sun has started to set.
Do we see the dog?
Both of us?
No.
I was really hoping for a welcome party.
Is there anyone who looks a bit like a seal?
Guards, anyone?
There's one guard on the outside.
Garrett?
We brought some of the survivors.
We need a healer.
Sabrina, could you please go and fetch her?
Or Brie is too, or whatever.
Look, look.
Did we draw the others we saw earlier in the tunnel?
No.
I think they went down the pit at the same time.
They drew pretty early.
Laura and...
The ones we found and sent back?
Yes.
They probably wanted to be...
I don't know.
And then they got the people.
One dies, two lives.
Half of them died.
It's just half of them.
We probably lost 9% of the survivors.
Yes, yes.
I can't be careful with it.
If I don't take it, it's very good.
It's like lifting and dunking.
I've smudged a big part of the pit.
With dead...
Burnt...
Dwarves in the pit.
He has to take a look at them.
Yes, and Ms. Sander wanted to know more about the dogs as well.
After a 20-minute break,
there's a woman in a white hat walking up.
And she walks very nicely.
She looks like a priestess.
And she comes over.
What's the matter here?
I'm not filming.
Alright, that's quite serious.
He lost his shoulder.
It depends.
This will take some time.
I'm sorry, Daldrik.
I'll begin the process as soon as I can.
She looks like she's sending some light into her shoulder.
What do you know of this?
No, I don't know it.
I've never heard of it.
They've been complaining about the smell.
And when they get back,
the wounds don't seem to heal correctly.
How long has this been going on?
Past month or so.
Damn.
And the Equality Assurance Guide,
you didn't do anything?
Well, the risk reward,
I think they've been...
It's Maros, right?
No, he handles the purity specifically.
Where can I lodge a complaint?
If you can help me get this man back,
I can show you the minor's office.
Thank you.
I'm sure they would like to hear about this.
Do you want this?
I would like to say no,
but I probably have to take it in for inspection.
Should we bring him somewhere for you?
Yes.
We have it tied up.
I don't think it's escaping.
You don't have to touch it this way.
Can you take it to the Sun House?
It's the local temple to the...
Where in town is it?
It's by the main square.
You can't miss it.
It's a symbol of the Dawn Father on the door.
Okay.
Should we split up and do that,
or should we do that after going to the office?
We can meet up later on.
We're staying at the stone's throw.
Cool, yeah.
Yeah.
So are you.
Yeah, so are we.
I have a key.
That's great then.
So why don't we meet there?
Yeah, okay.
Sandra, do you want to talk to...
Do you want to come with us?
Yes, please.
And...
Well...
Is there a cart around here?
It's so silly to say it now.
Try to be respectful of the dead person.
Is there a cart around here?
No, there isn't.
But...
But the guard will come back later
with a cart.
I can carry it.
We'll start sending a few of them
to carry the rest of the others.
Do we...
Wait.
The guard will come on board.
Can we get a cart?
Yeah, because then you can just give them the cart.
Yeah, you can give them the cart.
And there will be three guards.
I'll take care of that.
There should be like two and a half-ish dead things.
Who sends people into mine with dangerous gas?
Bad people.
No, irresponsible people.
I'm going to write a complaint.
It should be like that.
You're going down.
You'll probably let the body lie in the cart.
And I think it has something to do with Doldek.
And...
Lady Sabrina.
They're based in the Rock District.
And it's like...
Ant is coming to...
They're healing for the next...
Until I'm done.
Come on, Doldek, I'll help you.
What's the name of the church?
Is it...
Because even though Bahamut is the biggest,
all the others are still there.
It's not more common.
Except for the...
Who knows?
Burn away your sins, child!
Is treating your dead the tradition thing?
Uh, yeah.
Respect and stuff of the dead.
But they don't move anymore.
Yes.
But you respect the life that they had, you know?
Like, if my dad died, I would like to have a grave where I could visit him and see that.
You know, pay respects.
You don't leave them?
Even at where they lie.
You leave them in an appropriate space,
where they're not in the way.
Is appropriate space down a well?
No.
No.
Graveyard.
Where you have lots of people buried.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
That's nice.
What was that spell you cast there?
Uh, good question.
I kind of just learned it.
It's, uh...
It's kind of...
It's kind of...
I don't know.
It's kind of hard.
I'm still getting the hang of it.
But it's been useful.
How did you learn it?
Long story.
Uh...
Some kind of god or something?
I don't know.
Which one?
It's been very mysterious.
I haven't talked much.
What did they look like?
Didn't have a little look.
Just the voice.
Oh.
Yeah.
What did it feel like?
Uh...
Powerful?
Maybe a bit scary
with how powerful it was.
But it's also...
I don't know.
It's...
I think it can help.
Are you sure it's a god?
How could it not be?
Like, granting power like magic.
Many creatures can
grant power.
Oh.
They don't need to be kind.
At least I read.
He wants to...
He wants to help.
So I'm pretty sure...
You ever signed your name on anything?
No.
What do you mean, signed your...
Jesus, there's a lot
to be learned out here.
Have you agreed to do something?
That sounds
bad.
We haven't made like a deal with
but he said he'll help.
It could be anything.
Yeah.
We have many leads.
Many leads.
Yeah.
What's your deal?
I am out.
I am out.
Is that short for something?
It's my name.
It is also...
David.
It is also
the name
of a bug.
Yes.
Could we please get some food
just for kind of hungry?
Yes. What would you like?
Anything would do.
Okay. And for the big one?
They're not hungry.
It's fine.
Something to drink?
They have their own
rations for food.
Don't worry about it.
Yes, sounds good.
Yep.
Right, right up.
Put it down.
When
they are in control
it will be...
I'll take it from you.
You can put it
to 15 gold for that
alumina, I think.
Should I just take yours?
Yes, because I think
kind of
canonically...
With the average through the day,
it will be 16.
Everything she took from you
is more than you think.
Okay.
Then we have a deal.
One gold, two silver, four copper.
Okay.
One gold, two silver, four copper.
One gold, two silver, four copper.
That's a lot.
What do you think?
It will be...
for the day.
Food?
Did we get the payment?
No, we haven't talked about that yet.
Good point.
Good point.
Yes.
One gold is 100 copper, right?
Yes.
Yes.
I think I have a deal with you.
It costs one electron.
I don't want to.
Right?
What do you think the shape is?
Four sides on copper, three sides on silver,
and then four sides.
It's so geometric, I don't get it.
There will be a simple vegetable soup.
From the local
construction workers.
And an ale.
Unfortunately.
For the others.
So how long have you been on the road?
When did I
find you in the ditch?
Yeah, we've been
travelling for
a good number of weeks now.
Not too long.
We've been through the darkness
and the whole package.
I think we've been around for months.
Half a month maybe?
Yes.
It's been a good number of weeks.
And you're here
with us.
We came
actually looking for the grave of
Paladin.
The grave of Paladin?
Yeah, he's called
I know it's called
No, that's the town.
His name is
I have it here.
Claes.
Claes?
Yeah.
Supposedly there's this legend
that when he died
he had the key to
the heavens
in his hands.
Take that key?
Yes.
It's been a while now
but my wife
died.
I'm trying to get her back.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
It's better now.
Still rough.
But I need to get her back.
Do you have children?
No, we haven't got that far yet.
I just moved to a new town
and an accident
struck.
I returned home
our house was a place.
You're very open.
Yeah, I know.
It's been a long day.
He talks a lot.
Yeah, I do.
Sorry, once it starts
it opens the floodgate.
What are you doing?
Where are you traveling?
Well
we're taking a gap year.
We want to
go to some libraries
do some research.
About anything
particularly?
Yeah.
I'm trying to
find some answers.
What is a gap year?
Oh, it's like
when you study
at a university.
What university?
It's a type of school.
Do you know what a school is?
Yes. What university?
Yeah.
So basically when you're studying
and you want to take a break from studying
and just do other things
then you take a gap year.
So you go out and you do other things for a year
and then you come back and you continue your studies.
So we want to go to
the library here
read some books
and talk away
from some cities
and
yeah.
Do whatever fun stuff we can.
Yeah. But these
stones
it would be nice to
I think we should look more into that.
So that's on the research list.
Yeah.
Very high up on the research list.
That makes sense.
Is your mom part of the
Yeah.
God please.
I thought you knew. Everybody at school knew.
My last name was on the
My last name was on the
What?
No, no.
It seems like where I'm from
they're basically legend you know
and then you sit there working with your daughter
and it's weird you know.
You're a fucking dragon.
How the fuck do you do that?
Well according to my father
you know you
stab it with a pointy end.
That makes sense.
That's what you thought to me as well.
Yes. Strategy.
But you have
and a lot of fireballs.
A lot of fireballs.
I don't know what she really used exactly in that fight.
Papa
tends to like retell a story in
different ways and exaggerates different parts
each time so I don't really know
exactly how that went by.
Yeah. That makes sense.
You know if they ever
This is
I shouldn't ask.
You know if they've ever
brought anyone back
from the dead?
My father not.
Definitely not. He doesn't have
an ounce of magic in him.
I don't think my mom did.
Maybe auntie Laura?
I don't know.
Has she done it?
Oh yeah.
Do you remember that there was
a story once
where Thorin didn't
save you from death?
I think auntie Laura has done
some resurrections
before. She's a pretty powerful healer.
Yeah. Resurrections
are quite different than like gathered.
Well you know you've got
it's complicated. You've got at least
the three
MPNs and then you just
MPN?
Oh, Mauritian Principles of Necromancy.
State of the body, state of the soul, state of the ground you stand upon.
Right? Like how
decomposed is the body?
Is the soul kind of available
for resurrection?
Are you standing on hollow ground?
There's many things
you need to take into consideration when
trying to
do necromancy.
No.
This is way more involved.
I liked my tower.
You liked your tower?
Yes. Is that where you lived?
Yes. With the bear?
Who's that later?
Well the bear
wasn't in the tower.
The bear was
in the forest by the tower.
What tower were you in?
Fjallharmir.
You can do a
history check.
Is there a chance for
that? No.
Geology is a problem.
I'm not sure.
It's a legend.
It's a
troll.
It rings
a weak bell, but you can't
tell.
Why are you not in the tower?
Well
that's obvious because the tower
is just in
crumbles now.
There is no tower.
Is there an accident?
I wouldn't say that the
people coming from the forest
shooting stuff into the tower
did it by accident.
How did people do that?
I don't know.
They
were just
that close and
they wanted
my family's artifacts
and I
didn't actually do
what my parents wanted me
to do so I just
jumped out the tower
to escape.
You said you remember my mother.
What's your parents' names?
What's your mother's name?
What's my mother's name?
We're not supposed to have a skeleton here.
I'm glad someone has a good one.
Um
So my
dad's name is
Turgimli.
And my mom
is Fyndule.
You say it with such grief
in your voice.
I can
really hear your tears.
That doesn't really
ring the bells.
Nice
Were they wizards?
Yeah they were wizards.
I love them.
When was
You had an old wiki, right?
How old are you?
I'm 80.
That's quite young, isn't it?
80
Like in
elf terms.
They get real
fucking old.
So that's something, of course you know.
Yeah, not like humans, right?
We don't get that.
How old are you again?
Since you brought it up.
You're thinking all the terms.
No, no.
60?
What?
Damn.
You seem so sure about the answer.
I lost count.
So confident.
So
Lisandra, are you now trying to
find these people in
the black cloaks?
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I tried
finding some answers, so that's why
I was looking for presumably
your mom.
Because I remember she came
Well, finding her won't be easy.
20 years
ago?
That's a long time ago.
Maybe 30, 40.
30, 40 years ago.
I was a child.
Maybe more.
That's a very
long time ago.
We don't have a lot of visitors.
What did your parents
tell you to do that you did not
do?
Study. Magic.
Yeah, I can relate.
Magic.
Well, not magic, but my
family also wanted me to study.
And I am not studying.
But you know magic, so I don't
We are taking a gap here.
I failed
all my classes.
But you
know magic, so I don't really see what
I learned in the last
two weeks.
Because I actually
You looked that in
two weeks?
This is the only
thing I actually got
after they died.
Can I take a look?
Sure.
How heavy is that book?
How heavy is a
normal book?
A three kilo lock.
This is three kilos.
Wait.
Four kilos.
Four kilos.
I'm used to handling
surprises.
I think it's your mom's.
Okay.
I'll put them on the table.
I'll just go through them.
What?
What I wrote on
a magazine
and something came in there.
It seems like it's a kind of
book about history
tree to
Alexander.
So it starts with a
mythological adventure
about some meteorite.
And then it goes into
the first, the youngest
and starts to go into
the rituals, the family
in the same way.
It depends on how long you read.
Do you think you're stopping me?
I'm just scared.
I'm looking at the pictures.
Maybe a little at the text and the titles.
Maybe a drawing.
I've written titles
of one page per person.
I don't read. I read one page per person
who just takes a ball and turns it.
This is more like a
tree. Family tree.
Yes. But there are also spells
here.
They're towards the back.
I don't know.
I'm asking you, is this your spellbook
or is it just family
books?
I...
Yes.
It has become my spellbook.
Because I didn't have one.
Or this one was empty and this one was gone.
So you're looking at the end.
And with the end we're talking
maybe. I don't know if this is
20 pages again.
But it also looks like it's possible to add
more. And permanent is something that
the timepartner has been taken out,
adjusted and put back in.
It's like a short
script about
Lisandre Fitzgerald.
And his description
of when he was born.
That his definitions... yes.
And then after that
it goes into spells.
And the next six pages are
various arcane scribbles.
Hmm.
Two weeks!
Yeah.
It's two weeks since you were in Endymere.
But it's
maybe
a month or two
since you left
home. Two months
rather. But still that's
a very short amount of time.
Well, if you can't
say I started learning
learning
magic 40 years ago.
Oh.
It's fine.
40 years is fine.
No.
Magic's hard. Yes.
Yes.
Do you know any magic?
No.
No.
That wasn't magic.
Anyone up for
a game of cards?
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, you had lots of.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
Yeah.
Mm.
If we want to take this one, is there anything else?
No.
We have come to a promise.
Shut up.
What's a normal human age?
I'm 24.
That's quite...
It's kind of young, but it's, you know, normal...
Normal age.
Okay.
For a human, I would say.
Do you get taller with age?
I was smaller when I was younger, yes.
When you were a child?
Yes, and then I stopped growing.
Yes.
Um...
But, you know, I've seen the lights in your armor, and there's...
I don't know how specific we need to be, but, you know...
They...
They use their power to open the roof that's behind them,
because they've actually just laid over each other and opened the back side.
So it's like a...
...squidge sound.
It's...
I will not go back.
I know.
I won't let you.
Okay.
Okay.
If you tell them, they will take me back.
Yeah.
Um...
And I'm going to lift...
...this pretty mal-tracted helmet...
...which has an open split in the back, and where the metal is just...
...open.
And you can see...
...where...
You can see the arms closing around the neck plate...
...or around the neck, and you can see...
...when they're not covered by the arms of the helmet...
...on the chest plate...
...you can see...
...brown copper wires...
...which are on a...
...there's a bunch of iron...
...all the way to the neck...
...and...
...you can see a flat metal face...
...no special features other than two holes...
...where there are standard eyes with...
...a...
...soft blue...
...glow...
...and you can see from the eyes...
...if there were tears down there...
...which are streaks...
...blue streaks where there's light...
...and glows like pulsating blue...
...down to where there's a...
...mouth that can't be opened necessarily, but it's more like...
...a hole with a filter over it...
...where you can hear the voice of the duck coming out...
...and they...
...they don't get eye contact with you.
Yeah.
As a reference, it's just like...
...I don't know, I've never seen...
...a construct of something like that...
...but to what extent...
...do you know what it is, or is it a technology that's part of it?
Not in this way.
It has...
...been discovered by Golems...
...where you introduce magic in...
...in order to move.
And there's to a certain extent...
...constructs that are...
...assembled and built of magic...
...and this seems like something more...
...technological...
...if it's a word that gives meaning to it.
Oh my...
Mechanical.
I was...
...constructed.
I'm unsure when.
I see.
I...
...have a partial memory.
I've kind of gathered.
Yes, but there is...
...it's not like now.
Now I remember in the straight line.
There are holes.
I don't remember them.
I assume you...
...from what we've talked about before about what you've done...
...you don't want to...
...talk about it, and we don't need to.
We can get there when you...
I don't know what is normal.
It's not quite normal sharing as much as I do.
I can tell you that.
I know that...
...the Kesserek stones...
...are part of my construction.
Oh.
So you think...
...Evelyn, Sally...
I don't like the look of...
...Sally.
Yeah, they're...
...very curious at least.
And they are from the university.
That is trouble.
That's who you're running from?
Running from an academy.
Kesserek Academy.
Yeah, that makes sense why you wouldn't want to go there.
They might know something. They should not know...
...this.
I agree.
No.
It's easier for me at least to...
...you know...
...I think we just need to find this...
...kind of like a story...
...that could make sense, you know...
...about who you are.
Yes.
You are because...
...you know...
...very...
...it can be quite obvious...
...that you're not...
...you know...
...when we travel...
...it's fair enough, but...
...because I know you don't eat and that's...
...but that's not normal, you know...
...to be human and...
...not eat or drink...
...ever.
Sometimes I need oil.
I have oil in my bag.
For the joints.
Oh, yeah.
I think we should think about something...
...you know...
...isn't there like glades or something...
...from the mountains that are like...
...huge guys, like...
...like you work, but I mean...
...they probably eat and stuff as well, so it's...
...maybe a hard sell.
Do all humanoids eat?
Yeah.
Can I put it on...
...the helmet back on now?
Yeah.
Sweet!
Yes.
Thank you, Ant.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, we can talk more in the morning about figuring out...
...or...
...getting our story straight, if you know.
It's easier to deal with people.
It's not easy...
...to deal with people.
It is true.
It should be easier than it is now.
Okay.
You know.
At least they're skilled, you know.
You know.
Her mom is...
...or her parents are part of the...
...super parts, you know.
It's important to...
Yeah.
We will see.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna...
...go to bed.
I will...sand over here.
Like you do. It makes sense now.
I've got a fucking limit.
Okay, you know that.
Sleep well.
There was Zephyr writing in your book.
What was that about?
I'm Zephyr.
Oh!
Cool.
Which of the tribes?
The...
The...
The tribe.
The tribe.
For those of you who listen to the podcast,
the cast will be in my direction.
Not the ones that live
in the cold north.
Oh.
I'm from...
...the east.
Alright, well that makes sense.
Sefras.
Sefras.
Jesus.
It was a calendar document.
Mhm.
Haha.
It's important that someone has control
of the bed.
Katarina sleeps with the one on the bed.
Yes.
Do you have a lot in the office?
No.
You sleep in the office? Wow.
You sleep on the piano.
You sleep on the piano.
You get a soft...
...piano sound throughout the night.
Are there any more songs?
The last song we want to do
is by Apolline.
Can I borrow five golds?
Sure.
Great.
Eh...
And that's how we help with the golds.
Is to start a short game
before you're born.
And take all the money during the evening.
Okay.
You shouldn't roll for it.
Roll for losing.
She plays until she loses.
So it's actually to roll for how long
it might take.
Oh no.
Thank you.
I've earned it.
I've earned it.
I've earned it.
Come on, let's go.
I want to go up to my room
while you're playing.
This is...
When you're on your way up
I'll sell some photocopies.
Sit there and play.
Yes.
I'm going up.
Open my book.
And walk over to my room.
Yes.
Is it the same place where I bought it?
Yes, it is.
It's not the same person there
so you'll have to pay the same price
as if it was the night before.
But you'll get
one of the
easy rooms for one gold the night before.
Anyway,
find your way to your bed.
And I'm not going to do
any special dream sequences,
but just a little
glimpse
into the memory of the end.
So...
While you
archive today's
activities,
it triggers a visual image
from when you mentioned
traditions
and put them in a fountain.
And when you
put something in a fountain.
Yes, that was it.
Put something in a fountain.
Throw it out.
Yay!
Should we give it a try?
Yay!
Based on that
fantastic journey up
we return tomorrow
with a visit to
Groove's office.
Thanks for
listening, Mari.
And Daniel.
Maybe we've got a new song
called Daniel.
We've got double the chance to see it.
Exponential growth.
Next time it's four.
Is it namedrop Daniel as well?
Oh no, it's just lying there.
Oh no, it's moving!
It's moving!
We're going to talk.
Thanks for today.
