1:35

Welcome back to Dum Dums and Dragons,

1:37

where improvisers who've never role played before

1:39

journey into the world of Dungeons and

1:41

Dragons. I am the great

1:43

wizard, Bukake, your host. Things are

1:45

getting more complicated in Asgard. Quini was

1:48

forced to face off with Fallenmire Pinkblossom,

1:50

who caught him in an envoy's room.

1:52

Butthole began planning a magic school with his council

1:54

of wizards before handing it off to

1:56

Anon, and Juniper and Reginald will soon

1:58

be returning to report they could be.

2:00

find Rache. Can our heroes rebuild a

2:02

nation before it's destroyed by its enemies?

2:05

Fond of next, Fond of

2:08

Doms and Tragons!

2:12

Juniper and Reginald you arrived back

2:15

to the Black Castle with bad

2:17

news bad news to

2:19

deliver. You were unable to find Rache

2:21

Grey in your search, you

2:23

were unable to find Rache Grey's body in your search,

2:25

but you have returned with a plan to ask Sildar,

2:29

the tour guide for

2:31

lack of better term, the

2:33

handler for the Lord's Alliance

2:36

crew to investigate Rache's room in the

2:38

hopes of finding some leads, but

2:41

to the best of your knowledge, Juniper,

2:43

it would seem that they have fled the

2:45

city. So you arrived

2:47

back timeline-wise with our previous couple episodes

2:50

roughly around the time that

2:52

Quiney is marching Falmyr Pink

2:54

Blossom into the hallway and

2:57

Butthole you've just finished conferring

2:59

with Balthazar Durian and the

3:01

other two wizards. So

3:04

the two of you ride

3:06

up on your, as we've established,

3:08

better than random nobles

3:11

horses, right

3:13

up to the castle you have to

3:15

seek out Sildar, you have to update Butthole, you probably got

3:17

some information for Quiney. Juniper what would you like to do?

3:20

Oh we'll update Butthole first

3:22

because I'm not going

3:24

to start contacting Envoy without Butthole's

3:27

Express, go ahead. Great,

3:30

okay. Yeah. And Reginald where would you be headed?

3:33

Just follow along, he's kind of just

3:35

here to do whatever. Great. Plus if

3:37

he follows and she gives the bad news he's not

3:39

in trouble so that feels like a good thing. Like

3:41

this is a Juniper mission where he was here to

3:43

help, you know, but it was

3:45

a Juniper mission that brought no results. Oh

3:47

my god. He doesn't say that

3:50

out loud but he thinks it is that's who he is. Yep,

3:52

fair enough. Okay so

3:54

the two of you make your way into

3:57

the elevator of victory and ride it up

3:59

to the Royal floor. You

4:03

exit and kind of enter the royal chambers

4:05

to find Ann in a butthole and deep

4:07

conversation. Ann in

4:10

just saying like, okay,

4:13

so we'll send

4:15

word to Baldur's Gate. We'll see if

4:17

we can ascertain the status of Figplot

4:19

and also I

4:22

will look into exactly how much for Adam and Tyne

4:24

we're going to have to burn. She

4:27

says looking at your city character sheet

4:29

that will suffer dearly for this and

4:32

then she says okay, all right, I think I've

4:34

got enough for

4:37

now. We're gonna make this

4:39

work, sir. I assure you we will make this work.

4:42

If we can make a

4:44

whole fucking country work, we can make

4:46

a school work. At

4:49

least we didn't buy a zoo and with

4:51

that she nods to Reginald and Juniper

4:53

and sort of rushes off with Mordu

4:55

unless you had anything to say to

4:57

run the way out, Ryan. No,

4:59

I think buttholes just thinking like a zoo would

5:02

be good for tourism which

5:04

means we could make money

5:06

but we live in a desert. Now do you know

5:08

what? She's right. The zoo would not be a good

5:10

call. Fair

5:13

enough. Juniper, you roll in with Reginald hot

5:15

on your heels. Maybe

5:17

not a zoo but an arboretum. Hello,

5:19

your majesty. Do I call you your majesty? I

5:22

don't know if we ever decided. We

5:24

didn't really get too technical on it. I would say in

5:27

private if it's just us you don't need to

5:29

use the your majesty thing but if anybody else

5:31

is pregnant, I almost said pregnant, that'd be wild.

5:34

That doesn't mean you have to call me different

5:36

things but like if anybody else is present if

5:38

they're here then yeah you're gonna have to go

5:40

with the your majesty your highness all that kind

5:43

of royal clap trap. All

5:45

right. We

5:47

don't...Rage Grey is not here. Sorry,

5:51

I didn't... Like

5:53

in the mortal plane or like

5:55

in town or... To be honest,

5:57

I'm not sure. I rode around

6:00

Round we did a full sweep.

6:02

Of the city. And

6:05

I could not sense them anywhere. So

6:07

should you have been able to do

6:09

that, I'm not super fun than with

6:11

the slogan yes I sit at. I

6:13

mean I've I've met some. I've seen them

6:15

up close, had been in their presence long

6:18

enough A unless they were. Strategic

6:20

please. But.

6:22

Keeping about a thousand foot distance from me

6:24

and was aware I was going about this.

6:27

Ah, They're not here

6:29

or. There. Not of

6:31

live. Snowshoe. Like would be

6:33

able to find a body if they would like. did you

6:35

would know they're like stuff. Did a barrel or something. Unfortunately

6:39

not. That's.

6:41

Okay, Okay,

6:48

But either. Way they've either they've

6:50

left or their deceased so.

6:53

We're gonna have to do an investigation, right?

6:55

We? we have to get in the room.

6:57

We're thinking. Let's. Sell darn

7:00

know I'd I don't know is yes

7:02

others get a not pleased about the

7:04

whole missing tomboy thing and I said

7:06

we needed time to figure that get

7:08

the back and clearly that didn't work

7:11

so we could have to have some

7:13

awkward conversations with the on voice pretty

7:15

soon. or minister of culture is looking

7:17

into some things and I'm hoping that

7:19

might be able to give us some

7:21

answers otherwise we're gonna have to plan

7:24

for overall prep. I could

7:26

have bagels brought a if you'd like to wait

7:28

here or do you have a different idea cause

7:30

I think. The. Bedroom as of may

7:32

have been taken care of. Said I. Said.

7:35

We should just wait here and

7:37

quote unquote confer. Gallery.

7:41

Bagels or whatever and I can just wait

7:43

for deceive. Which is basically if we don't get

7:45

some news from Quinney that we're gonna have

7:47

to start making announcements. and as far as I

7:49

know, play this situation as best we can.

7:52

Which. Is great. It's decorate. I'd

7:54

love a little more information, but there's a kind of what

7:56

we got. to

8:01

We know that there's someone, I mean, or

8:03

at least I heard of course that there was

8:05

someone who had ulterior motives here or was doing

8:08

something sneaky like... Do

8:11

we know? Have we gotten any

8:13

more evidence of

8:16

that? Of anyone being sneaky? Is there

8:18

anything we haven't shared with each other? I

8:21

mean, the one thing that I definitely know

8:23

from Bucky is that Fallon Meyer Pink Blossom

8:25

had a Harper sigil hidden in her stuff

8:27

and she made him promise not to tell

8:29

anyone. Right.

8:34

Alright, so I guess we got that back

8:36

pocket. That sort

8:38

of feels like we're just making a bigger mess than solving a

8:40

mess. I'm just gonna throw that out there. Oh yeah, I mean,

8:42

I mean, we've already... We've had several

8:44

assassinations and Envoy has disappeared, but you are

8:47

a Harper! He says, imagining how that goes,

8:49

he's like, I don't think it goes well.

8:51

That feels like it might make me worse.

8:53

Yeah, we've not had the best luck with

8:55

kind of questioning Envoy and that turning out...

8:59

you know. That's true and Fallon Meyer is

9:01

so powerful. Good. What?

9:05

You'd never be able to overcome a mind that sharp. Sorry?

9:08

She's so smart and she's so capable. You've dealt

9:10

Fallon Meyer Pink Blossom. She's so powerful and she

9:12

just, she sees the future. But is she? Is

9:18

she so powerful? Yeah, absolutely. She made that poor

9:21

work. I haven't had... That's interesting. We agreed that

9:23

she had different agendas and it may be uncomfortable,

9:25

but I had a conversation with her about that

9:27

because you guys made some good points. But

9:30

we can't pretend she's not the strongest wizard that we're

9:32

aware of and I say that having just come from

9:34

a meeting with the wizard council. While

9:37

we're waiting for Quinny, we might as well just hash... sorry,

9:39

wizard council? Oh yeah,

9:41

we're buying a magic school. I found one

9:43

that's very bad and thus affordable. And by

9:45

found one, I mean got told it by

9:47

a guy who only knows one spell and

9:49

now Annan's doing it. But

9:54

you might get an expenses paid trip to Baldur's Gate.

9:56

If we don't, I'll die this week. Oh.

10:00

Expensive will need to be minimal. This school sounds

10:02

expensive. You know,

10:04

Baldur's Gate would be interesting. I have real- How long

10:07

is it gonna be before we can contact Alan again?

10:09

Because honestly, with all the travel we have to do

10:11

and all of- Everyone that

10:13

we have to coordinate with

10:15

and negotiate with- The

10:17

only person who can make it work is a 12

10:19

year old. I got nobody else. The

10:22

magic missile guy just does magic missile. And

10:24

the disc guy basically is just full of

10:26

crossbows. I don't have magic people. That's why

10:28

we need this school. Do

10:31

you know how- Can you send her a message? Do you- Do

10:34

you have like a crafty message

10:36

person in any of your personas?

10:39

Like somebody who would know how to do this? Otherwise

10:41

I think we could send hundreds of pigeons.

10:43

Most of them would die like heroes, but

10:45

perhaps one of them would fly through a

10:47

portal. If only by accident, if we get

10:49

enough pigeons. What does that

10:52

look like, Reginald? I'm

10:55

not really a pigeon guy, but the Horde

10:57

used a lot of pigeons. They're giant winged

11:00

predators that will hunt down anything below them.

11:02

They eat the living and they make the

11:04

dead. Oh wow, yeah,

11:06

that's not even pigeons anymore, man. We're gonna have to

11:08

show you because they would not do well in the

11:10

desert. No, unfortunately- Oh. Well

11:13

anyways, I get all of my

11:15

kind of powers from kind of

11:17

life and the living things and

11:19

that kind of joie de vivre

11:22

type stuff and doesn't really extend-

11:24

Yeah, I was pretty alive. Ethereal

11:27

stuff as much or- Oh, so

11:30

no portal. Transplaner stuff. Not

11:32

really, unfortunately. Okay,

11:34

well we got some time to burn. Do you want to try to

11:36

think of a way we could get in touch with Alan? I'll

11:39

get bagels. You know, I mean

11:41

she's in Barovia

11:44

still? Is that where that ended up being

11:46

or what? From what I

11:48

was told, she's randomly doing portal

11:50

stuff with some guy named Norden.

11:54

Morden Kanan. Norden, I think was his-

11:57

Ah, thank you. So, Norden Kanan. Morden

11:59

Kanan. what? mordin

12:02

canan. nordin canan. oh.

12:05

did i get

12:07

it? you're funny. you're funny. oh

12:10

that's that's nice. so nordin canan has

12:12

been teaching her somewhere. oh sorry i thought you

12:14

actually i thought you were making a joke it's

12:16

like mishearing me

12:19

but mordin canan mmm.

12:23

nordin canan. magic no m is in magic

12:25

missile. normed in canan. normed

12:29

um canan. normed

12:31

um canan. mom

12:35

nom nom nom. leader of

12:37

our nation folks. june that's

12:47

in the hat. peanut butter on the roof of his mouth.

12:50

well yum yum yum yum yum yum is uh is the

12:52

name we're going with i guess. i'm

12:54

gonna call him mr. m. okay so m.

12:56

m is out there and and he's got

12:58

i guess i've always pictured

13:01

a cave full of portals and i imagine

13:03

alan is in the middle of the portal

13:06

cave just portaling it up or sitting and

13:08

thinking probably too hard. i'm

13:10

saying we don't know actually know where this

13:13

this cave is in physical space

13:15

right in relation to us? i don't

13:17

even know if it is in physical space. it's

13:20

mr. mams country. i

13:23

mean having gone to barovia

13:26

um which was just queenie

13:28

and reginald juniper you weren't i was

13:30

you were on your side adventure for

13:32

that that was your ursa's teapot ride.

13:34

yeah. so reginald

13:37

you would remember that uh

13:40

ravenloft and the

13:42

raven gates uh

13:45

are in the uh the castle

13:47

ravenloft uh in barovia so a

13:50

kind of a a trans dimensional

13:52

space not unlike stricthaven that just

13:54

kind of exists in the in

13:56

between sort of in the the

13:58

folds of reality. And

14:00

you you found your way in there by accident.

14:03

You still don't really understand it. You were very

14:05

happy to leave Without

14:08

not Pete guiding you you don't really

14:10

know how necessarily to to

14:12

get back in There's

14:14

kind of a pocket dimension between different

14:17

realms full of mist portals and monsters

14:19

It was awful. We got out of

14:21

there and I'm sure they're very happy

14:23

in their marriage Don't

14:26

know how to get there nobody does And

14:30

with that lingering in the air

14:32

we cut over to Quinny who

14:34

is definitely not fucking up

14:36

stuff with envoys We've established we're not not

14:38

D-U-M-B, D-U-M-B, D-I-C-E. Join

17:28

today! I

17:39

just want to resume my investigation without the

17:41

most annoying person I've ever met speaking to

17:43

me or looking at me or just being

17:45

in the same room as me. I mean,

17:47

Patty wasn't in the room, but... Oh,

17:50

no, no, there's a new champ. I,

17:52

oh man. Don't tell Patty, that's gonna break her heart. Alright,

17:55

go ahead. Go ahead with

17:57

an investigation check at disadvantage. It's

18:01

not going to take Fallon Meyer too long to get through this

18:03

door if she wants to get through this door. Okay.

18:06

At disadvantage, so the disadvantage

18:08

result is a one, but I'm

18:10

going to reroll that one. And let's

18:12

see if these great, great dice give

18:15

me another one. They

18:18

didn't. 10 is still, I

18:20

got a 10, that's the lower of the three

18:22

rolls now. So

18:25

investigation, you say? Yes. That's

18:28

not bad. That's a total of 16. Okay. So

18:31

as you were sort of starting to

18:34

ascertain before you were so

18:36

rudely frozen in space and

18:38

time and then had all your bits

18:40

adjusted, this room

18:42

feels very,

18:45

very empty. It

18:47

really, really does feel like Rache

18:49

must have passed through here with

18:52

very little impact. And

18:55

this would say to you as someone

18:58

who is used to kind of pre-dum-dums

19:00

a life of thievery and

19:02

that sort of thing, this definitely feels

19:05

like a, you know, if you're on a job, you

19:07

would pass through a space like this and you would

19:09

leave as little trace as Rache seems to have left

19:12

in here. So quick investigation,

19:15

you're not finding almost

19:17

anything. It literally feels like a hotel

19:19

room that, you know, in

19:21

James Bond terms, it's like the hotel room, the sniper sets

19:23

up a gun in and then leaves. Where

19:26

is this room in relation to Longadon Geese's

19:28

room? So Longadon

19:30

Geese's room was at the very end of the

19:32

hall because he was the last

19:34

to arrive. Rache's

19:37

room is, let's

19:39

say, between Bluebeard and

19:43

we'll say Nahiri Larkstep from

19:45

Waterdeep. Okay.

19:48

Two rooms down. So

19:52

they've got, like, Nahiri will

19:54

say Prickidicus

19:57

Recarlson and then Longadon

19:59

Geese. at the end of the hall. So

20:01

a few rooms away. This isn't a like, I went through

20:03

the conjoining door kind of situation. No, no,

20:05

certainly. I'm just like, like, you've got to come out

20:07

of your room and head down this hallway. How many

20:09

people do you have to pass? Everyone's outside and during

20:11

a fireworks show. So the rooms are empty, presumably. On

20:14

the side of the hall you're on, you would pass

20:16

two rooms. On the other side, you

20:19

would also pass two rooms. One

20:21

of those rooms is Sildar. One

20:24

of the rooms is empty. Long enough geese is at the far end.

20:27

Okay. So maybe the guards might

20:29

have like, like

20:32

when he's just assuming like Longanong

20:34

geese is dead, Rache

20:37

is disappeared. There's

20:40

not a

20:42

strong evidence. There's like some but

20:45

there's not a lot of strong

20:47

evidence for Fintan Charlemagne having

20:49

done it. Especially

20:53

because of what I saw

20:55

through Chompy's perspective. So

21:00

maybe Rache Grey

21:02

is our killer. Maybe they were the ones who

21:05

killed Longanong. So if

21:07

there's an empty room, I want

21:10

to, if I go back out, fucking

21:13

Falenmaar is out there. I'm going to hang out in here for

21:15

a little longer. Just you know, collect my

21:17

cool a little bit. So

21:20

this is kind of a room that someone

21:22

has bolted from and

21:24

left kind of no real footprint in. This

21:27

is not a lived in space. They would

21:29

have had to sleep here. So you know,

21:31

the sheets are disturbed.

21:35

But it's in modern hotel

21:37

parlance. It's a hotel room that you don't have

21:39

it to unpack in. You look out of your

21:41

bag. You don't really fuck with

21:43

the drawers. The soaps are still wrapped. Like

21:46

very, very, it's

21:48

not like they were trying to leave no fingerprints or

21:50

no trace. It was very clear who was here. It's

21:53

just the room was not enjoyed

21:56

or moved into in the way again, the blue

21:58

beard really made a meal of his or

22:00

Precedius for Carlson sort

22:02

of turned his into like a weird fun

22:05

drinking hall experience. This really is a this

22:07

room was used for exactly as much as

22:09

the room needed to be used for and

22:11

no more no less. Can

22:13

I use my eye of

22:15

true sight to see

22:17

if there's any residual magic

22:20

in this room? Sure,

22:22

yeah you can do that. There

22:26

isn't that you can observe and not

22:28

from a I mean it's you

22:31

know it's been long enough that there probably

22:33

wouldn't be less magic it actively been used

22:35

here but there's no lingering magical current kind

22:37

of floating around. I

22:39

will say though as you're kind of taking your

22:41

moment and not wanting to run into Falmer you

22:43

actually hear Sildar out in the hall. Can you

22:45

roll me a perception check please? Oh,

22:51

Quinny. Perception is a 9.

22:54

9? Alright so you can't

22:56

hear him through the door

22:58

but you hear a

23:01

lot of other voices some

23:03

shuffling of footsteps and then a

23:05

closed door and silence. Oh

23:10

interesting I thought I'd be getting tattled on

23:12

okay. You

23:15

may have inadvertently set yourself up for

23:18

a mutually assured destruction tattling so

23:20

you might be alright or you

23:22

might be getting tattled on right now.

23:24

Who knows? Yeah, of course you do.

23:28

What's the window situation like? Bad.

23:30

We've established kind of

23:34

there is some light coming in from outside but

23:36

they are heavily heavily barred in

23:38

order to prevent invasion

23:41

as well as escape if someone needs if

23:43

there is a diplomatic

23:46

friend quote

23:48

quote slash hostage you want to be able to

23:51

put them up somewhere that doesn't

23:53

scream prison but quietly

23:55

whispers prison. Okay

24:00

Yeah, all right. Just

24:02

working with what I have in this room, if

24:05

the bed looks like it's been slept in, I'm just gonna like take

24:08

the sheets off of that thing and just see if there's any foreign

24:11

substance, like you can just like dirt

24:13

from boots in

24:16

those sheets or anything like that. Anything that we can

24:18

collect as evidence of where this person

24:20

might have been before they climbed into bed

24:22

or anything like that. Sure.

24:24

So there absolutely is. You'll

24:27

recall that the Lord's

24:29

Alliance folk arrived on a wacky

24:31

carriage drawn by pegasi

24:33

through a portal. So you

24:35

find the expected

24:38

amount of dirt and

24:41

other stray things. Similarly,

24:45

if you check the bathroom, the shower

24:47

has been used. You

24:49

can find traces that

24:52

Rach was here, certainly.

24:54

Mm-hmm. I would say regionally,

24:56

like they're the representative of Baldur's Gate,

24:58

so it's safe to assume that they

25:01

came from Baldur's Gate, although you're not sure

25:03

kind of how Sildar picked everyone up, whether

25:05

they all met at a central place or

25:07

whether they all came from their individual sites.

25:11

Can you roll

25:13

me an investigation with

25:15

Advantage, and this is Advantage for

25:17

using thieves tools? Oh,

25:20

okay. A

25:23

natural 20. You

25:26

want the modifier or just

25:28

the nat 20? No, man,

25:30

nat 20. Rach Grey is

25:32

the bed. You'll count me.

25:36

So you, as

25:39

you're kind of tossing the room a little

25:41

bit, you notice that the door,

25:44

the lock on the door seems to have

25:46

been modified or at

25:49

least fucked with a little bit.

25:51

There's some scratches from thieves tools on

25:53

it, on your

25:55

side, so on the interior side.

26:00

And with that, you start to kind of

26:02

re-examine the room a little bit. And you

26:04

can see that all the ways that

26:07

Reginald would, in a paranoid state,

26:09

trap his room or set his room up with,

26:11

you know, the hair across the

26:13

door, all that sort of stuff. As you start

26:15

to look around, you notice that all the drawers,

26:17

everything else, there is something to indicate on all

26:19

of these things, whether or not they've been opened

26:23

or there was one that has fallen away.

26:25

So what you ascertain from all this with

26:27

your NAT-20 is that Rache was very clearly

26:29

paranoid. About something.

26:32

To the point of possibly taking

26:34

apart the lock and putting it

26:36

back together. Okay.

26:40

With that revelation, I'll

26:43

go to the door, unlock it,

26:48

and open it a crack

26:50

to see if it's just Fallon Meyer standing

26:52

out there. Hallways empty. Open

26:55

it a little wider, stick my head out. Yeah.

26:58

No one's in the hallway. You can hear a

27:00

variety of voices coming from Sildar's room. There seems

27:02

to be kind of a loud conversation occurring there

27:05

between the envoys. And you can

27:07

hear, for lack of better

27:09

terms, okay, everybody tone coming

27:11

from Sildar. You're not

27:13

quite sure what it is, but no one is standing out

27:15

here ready to give you shit

27:17

for roughing up an envoy. So that

27:19

means something. Okay. Yeah. I'll discreetly

27:22

close the door to Rache's room

27:24

and I'll go over to Sildar's

27:26

room and press my ear against the door. Pressing

27:30

your ear and your luck. Okay.

27:32

Give me perception at

27:34

the minister of culture, man. This is what I'm supposed

27:36

to do. Okay. You know what? Roll me a stealth

27:38

check and then that'll determine whether

27:40

you get advantage on your perception. Oh,

27:42

wow. Another bad roll. Uh,

27:44

that was a two stealth.

27:46

So that's a 17. You

27:51

know what? You didn't take the harness off. It's

27:53

just jangling around as you're walking around. It's really,

27:55

yeah, it's really ruining your,

27:57

your normal stuff. Okay. So stealth is

27:59

successful. So that means it'll give you advantage on

28:01

the perception check as you put your ear against the

28:03

door. And

28:05

that's a one. So I

28:08

re-roll a one. Yep. So

28:12

that's a two. So the advantage

28:14

roll then is a third one or is that it?

28:16

I rolled with advantage, I got a one and a

28:18

two. So I take a two. Well, but you've got

28:20

halfling lux, you would re-roll that one. Okay, so the

28:22

one is re-rolled with a two. I get one more.

28:25

And it's those two results combined for a 12. Not

28:28

12. Okay. A

28:30

one and a two behind each other.

28:33

You don't get a lot. What

28:35

it sounds like is Cildar

28:38

trying to calm

28:41

everyone down and kind of orchestrate the

28:43

room. But the voices

28:46

you're hearing, it sounds

28:48

more like mild outrage

28:50

that everyone is stuck in this room.

28:54

And you're sort of hearing awful tones of like, well, I

28:56

just want to make sure that everyone is clear

28:58

on exactly what the procedures in

29:01

the castle are. I've been asked by Annan who's

29:03

looking over things to make sure that everyone is

29:05

aware of the procedures here. Because it seems that

29:07

people aren't. And there's a lot of like, who

29:09

cares? Like you can hear,

29:12

I keep bringing him up, but he's the right guy to do it. For

29:15

Cadeus for Carlson, loudly drawing

29:18

on about how much he wants to be

29:20

out enjoying the culture

29:22

of Asgard right now, not stuck

29:24

in Cildar's room. And

29:27

Cuny, this very much sounds to you like someone who is

29:30

wielding bureaucracy to tie up a bunch

29:32

of important people. But

29:35

the fact that Falenmeyer isn't here means she is in

29:37

there. So that's bought you a little bit of

29:39

time. Yeah. I'm

29:43

going to go check the empty room or the room that

29:45

should have been vacant. Sure.

29:47

Which is, as I understand it, beside Longadon's

29:49

room. So you can think of this as

29:51

a long hallway across the hall from it.

29:54

So long hallway, Longadon Geese's room was at

29:56

the very end. So it's the only door.

29:59

It faces the... hallway, everything else lines

30:01

the hallway. So at the end

30:04

of the hallway you've got, God help me, for

30:06

Katie is for Carlton, one side, empty

30:09

room, other side long it on geese far into

30:11

the room. The only way out of this hallway

30:13

is the elevator that has the two guards who

30:15

have been able to report on who is coming

30:17

and going. Okay. So

30:20

you go to that room, you open it and

30:22

you are hit by the smell of stale air. This

30:25

room is undisturbed, there doesn't seem to

30:27

be, you know,

30:29

it's an unused room for some time. There

30:32

weren't exactly a lot of diplomatic missions going

30:34

on during the the the lich

30:37

ownership of a cop. Sure,

30:40

okay. Then

30:43

I guess satisfied with the sort of

30:45

very obvious state that the room has

30:47

not been, like

30:50

no one's been in here for some

30:52

time. I think

30:55

I need to find Reginald who basically I

30:57

last got this

30:59

investigation information from to kind

31:01

of bring each other up to speed on

31:04

what we were all up to last night

31:06

and today. So the guards were able to

31:08

direct you, they saw Reginald and Juniper go

31:10

up the elevator victory so

31:13

they're able to direct you upstairs. So

31:15

Quinni, you arrive to the the

31:17

sort of royal council chamber

31:20

as the the various

31:23

theories on how to reach an unreachable

31:26

place grind to an alarming halt yet

31:28

again resting on the shoulders of a 12

31:31

year old future 2099 boy

31:34

to figure out how portals work and

31:36

you enter to find Juniper and

31:38

Butthole looking somewhat vexed, Reginald looking

31:40

somewhat relieved that no one knows

31:42

how to contact spooky spooky horror

31:45

dimension and that is the the

31:47

state you enter into. I'm

31:58

just walking to say hi. Everyone?

32:01

Any luck finding Ray

32:03

Scray? No.

32:08

No sign. No sign of

32:10

them anywhere, anywhere. I

32:13

think they've... Did you find anything? Because that'd be great.

32:17

I think they've probably left town. They...

32:23

Well, I should say I bumped

32:25

into Fallon Meyer and

32:28

she leveled the

32:30

accusation that Ray Scray was

32:33

a... Harper.

32:38

So kind of like an undercover operative,

32:42

not who they seem to be.

32:45

Now, I thought Fallon

32:48

Meyer was the

32:50

Harper. Where did we find the Harper seal? All

32:54

right. Here's the one thing I do know, says

32:56

Reginald Stepping Forward. Bucky found

32:59

the Harper sigil inside Fallon Meyer's

33:01

room. Then Fallon

33:03

Meyer swore Bucky to silence in a

33:05

way that technically he didn't promise anything,

33:08

but she thought he did. Turns out,

33:10

hell of a diplomat. So he came

33:12

and told us right away. So this

33:15

could be her casting aspersions elsewhere because

33:17

she's actually the Harper. Or

33:19

it could be the truth. I don't know.

33:21

Or maybe she realized Bucky

33:23

was definitely going to tell us, and this is

33:25

an excellent ploy. Either on Rache,

33:27

who she may have disappeared, or because

33:30

Rache disappeared, so why not blame them

33:32

anyway? She needs a cover. Or

33:34

again, what she's saying is true. Well,

33:37

there's evidence in... Your

33:44

Majesty. I

33:46

can't tell you how I know this,

33:48

but I do know that there is

33:50

evidence in Rache Gray's room of

33:53

a sort of paranoid, very

33:55

cagey, secretive person staying there.

33:58

Measures have... been

34:00

taken to make sure that every

34:02

kind of opening that is drawers,

34:05

doors, windows, could be it could

34:07

be detected whether they were opened

34:10

without that person's presence. So

34:13

Rache Gray lives a

34:15

very secretive, very, I

34:18

would say high tension lifestyle,

34:21

full of paranoia, possibly like

34:23

someone on a secret mission. So

34:27

either someone who is on a secret

34:30

mission or someone who is aware

34:32

that there might be someone on a secret

34:34

mission to harm them. Well,

34:36

the person you're describing that way in the

34:39

ladder is what Fallon

34:41

Meyer claims to be. And she doesn't seem to be all

34:43

that careful at all. I tricked her out of, I locked

34:45

her out of a room. Like it was very easy.

34:49

Dare I ask, you

34:53

did what to get information?

34:55

How, how, how, there

34:58

were questions that were asked and none

35:00

of them were, what

35:02

does Fallon Meyer Pink Blossom know? So

35:04

how did that happen? Well,

35:08

Fallon Meyer and I bumped

35:10

into each other and

35:13

she cast some accusations my way, paralyzed

35:16

me magically, by the way. But

35:22

I, you know, being the

35:25

bigger person, oh, I love this. Let

35:28

bygones be bygones. So I'm really the better,

35:30

the better person. Just make

35:32

sure that that's on the record. But that's

35:35

how we got to talking, how she got

35:37

to telling me, accusing me almost of being

35:39

a Harper, which now I think about it.

35:41

I think I am. Aren't we Harpers? Technically,

35:45

I think we signed up back in Fandalin, but

35:47

then we like never talked to them again. So

35:49

it's sort of like it's, it's nothing. It's joining

35:52

a club and university. Who cares? Yeah. Admittedly, I

35:54

don't know very much about the Harpers. So this

35:56

could be a big thing, but I'm

35:58

a king now and a god. I. Sadly,

36:01

Swear to renounce on membership of the Hoppers. There

36:03

you go. I didn't officially not. I've almost read

36:05

whatever. whatever. The Harper's yeah, okay, good sign. Yeah.

36:08

Yeah What? I. Would welcome could foresee to

36:10

be a member. With

36:13

his. Legacy be

36:15

a result of a coveted is a glutton

36:18

okay if is legally binding, that's okay. So.

36:21

I'm thinkin' We've kind

36:23

of hit the end of everything

36:25

we can do investigatory li which

36:28

would mean. Ah,

36:30

If we wait any longer, we're just

36:32

gonna look worse when we relay a

36:34

series of bad news items. At

36:37

Fort Emily. the all this happened last night.

36:39

So yeah, we're we're. Actually on

36:41

up. Where. We're We're

36:43

pretty on track as it were

36:45

in terms of. Last night.

36:48

We. Have something to say about last night's and

36:50

things happen. Let's not that it was like last

36:52

week as happened that yeah we look like we

36:54

are pockets but I I i I just got

36:56

a question here for like the next part of

36:58

this investigation. What? We know about

37:01

race gray. I I. I.

37:03

Feel like I just saw them? In.

37:05

Passing. Of once when they

37:07

showed up like what on the lights All these

37:09

other people are like these big characters. Fallon Meyer

37:11

I can't fucking like. Race disappears.

37:13

I can't get found that lead me the fuck alone. Like

37:15

like. Some. Of these people. Are.

37:18

Big people, And. I

37:20

feel like I don't know anything about

37:22

who raced, race is or was. Does.

37:24

Anybody know who race great was who did we

37:27

lead into our castle? Okay, prison,

37:29

that's that's all. that's all they gonna

37:31

rain. They. Get sent by the

37:33

Lord's Alliance so bit of we didn't invite.

37:35

I'd just to reiterate met of this was

37:37

choice. This was all they showed up and

37:40

there's a reason Cormier didn't kill us. So

37:42

we play nice with them or try to

37:44

play nice with everybody. but we didn't pick

37:47

a single envoy self honestly. Zone

37:50

of Truth inside a little room.

37:52

Ah. If. Races and asshole

37:54

that's does our fuck up is like.

37:57

Putting them we we didn't choose their best.

37:59

the early may have that kind that nation

38:01

that city chose their own on void that

38:03

they sense. Do.

38:06

You think? Quinney. You

38:08

could realistically find out anything more that

38:10

would be pertinent for me to share

38:12

with the Lord's Alliance when we reveal

38:14

everything that happened in Black. The.

38:17

Next hour to because I don't think so dark

38:19

and by as any more than at other sellers

38:21

buying a sad garlic smash cut to so there's

38:23

room like I understand that not all of you

38:25

like t but I insist that you try this

38:27

puts kill of or I understand it's in all

38:29

of your rooms you may have tried to put

38:32

this would have different I assure you. Smash cutbacks.

38:35

Ah our that makes sense. I yeah, I

38:38

heard that going on. Ah, Soviet.

38:42

Soap. Like we basically have like until still

38:44

are. I but we need to come

38:46

up with what it's gonna be said before sealed

38:49

aren't at a time. Otherwise we're just gonna have

38:51

a bunch of people show up because we're going

38:53

to have revealed that logged on the east is

38:55

dead were going to have to reveal that we

38:57

sold as people get murdered like we did see

38:59

and but like they'll get murdered outside. I got

39:01

the the angle and pretty much much older that

39:03

murdered outside. All.

39:06

Men were really bad a communicated

39:08

collectively. Okay, so. Am

39:11

I I I went Jennifer New Charlemagne

39:13

because of Warlock, Eldridge blast Blue logged

39:15

on use his head off, I thought

39:17

it must be. Or

39:20

she doesn't have. A rock solid

39:23

Alibi per se, but she's got her.

39:25

Why Verne? that I did like a

39:27

little bit of a mind meld to

39:29

just kind of see if. Ciampi.

39:33

Noticed and you'll have any highlights for the night And

39:35

it was all just. The. Assassination

39:37

attempt. So. Job he

39:40

was involved in any other stuff but that doesn't explain

39:42

away and else it's blast. But. I. Think

39:44

she was just waiting at her place to

39:46

meet me. Around

39:48

a. I. Was is a juniper. Do

39:51

you want to explain what we found outside

39:53

of town and case it gives Quinney some

39:55

new ideas? I'd explain, but I'm not that

39:57

smart right now. Only.

40:00

Do Not. Know. Any Of this,

40:02

I'm. There. Were about. What

40:04

is it? Eight, Eight Bodies Reginald that

40:07

we found Eight. Damage.

40:09

Smart, but I believe it's about

40:11

eight. Demo. Take more! Demar

40:13

ends on the outskirts of town.

40:17

Ah, Looked. Like this.

40:20

Was. A group that. Was. With long

40:22

it on, Geese Connor ready to. Go.

40:25

Up okay more just on a

40:27

regional as Find Helens ends Yes,

40:29

couldn't else right down to you

40:31

like the people that the your

40:33

fellow conspirators had told you are

40:35

waiting outside of town. Like.

40:38

There for demar in. Cook.

40:40

And we We also found that.

40:43

Their bodies had been ravaged by

40:45

would seem to been weapons that.

40:48

May. Have had Why Verne claws on

40:50

the earth or me at least made

40:53

to look like why? Ver calmer. Cause

40:55

me to work like more library didn't

40:57

with an actual Why Verne. But okay

40:59

noted Reynaud aunts have exploded heads and

41:01

would look like a what about it

41:03

It's classic frame job or so and

41:06

would only be. So. Yep!

41:08

Frame Job. So then does that mean that logged

41:10

on was in it and his death was part

41:12

of his plan? Is. It we can't find his soul.

41:16

Know I tried to bring back in. the deadly didn't

41:18

work. So the best fear we have have a way.

41:20

To. Move his soul done As a diner we

41:23

tried that marriage is so when her dad we

41:25

some general feedback of seems like most likely he

41:27

sold his soul at some point so that when

41:29

it went it was spoken for that's why he

41:31

couldn't come back is logically if you just do

41:34

to for the queen he to pop active their

41:36

body the second will get a lot of answers

41:38

instead i got a body with ahead but no

41:40

so I'm just gonna say. Selling. Your

41:42

soul. Of. enough as warlock

41:45

stuff and he hated or lox.

41:47

ah. Idled.

41:50

Okay, the maybe. By. Bottle can

41:52

you mean and so check please? Share.

41:57

Twenty Nine. As

42:02

your your puzzling through. All.

42:04

Of this something that came up with

42:06

the wizards sort of drifts back to

42:08

you. And you

42:11

were. Call Kevin. Dear.

42:13

Kevin. Are describing his

42:16

process. And. As

42:18

saying that he learned fireball from

42:20

a scroll. Schools are easily guys

42:22

have fucked with too much but

42:25

something you know just in your

42:27

gut in your your your moon

42:29

hammer born instincts but just clicks

42:31

about the possibility of scrolls being

42:34

used in magic attacks rather than

42:36

wizards be used magic attacks. Ah

42:40

met. So I talked to this guy

42:42

kevin earlier unrelated were buying a magic

42:45

schools I'm a liar. he learn magic

42:47

from a scroll so this is as

42:49

as it could have just read his

42:51

scroll or something. then bam know head

42:53

neck could be anybody. Almost Alma I

42:55

mean most assassins team can read. Most

42:57

people can lead the education's This was

43:00

relatively solid outside of this country. Just

43:02

say point of order. There needs to

43:04

be more education about the dangers of

43:06

scrolls because ah yes no Level we

43:08

are above illustrate. An idea to snow

43:10

literature at all. Nodes. We're

43:13

going to keep literature we're getting kicked

43:15

his read your paraphernalia education what is

43:17

also what's that we've been using for

43:19

your warlock He knowledge. Ah

43:22

I'm so I think it's like taking

43:24

the arcana but also thing over again

43:26

I'm looking at Southern Canada and. Sir

43:30

going roaming Arcana Police or history of to

43:32

cuddle. I

43:35

think a pile of the sense that they

43:37

are a total of eleven eleven. You.

43:41

Don't know tremendous amount about warlock.

43:44

Stuff. Which. it

43:46

occurs you now dealing with this and

43:48

dealing with his intro mean that you're

43:50

kind of accidently speaking of clubs accidently

43:52

part of a club but you know

43:54

very little about your kind of accidentally

43:56

given the powers by an asshole who

43:58

did really tell you what they were

44:00

for. You've gotten used

44:02

to using them and you can use them

44:05

quite well, but you don't understand them. They

44:07

just kind of happen for you. So it occurs to

44:10

you that seeking out someone who knows more about war locking

44:12

who maybe you're not boning might be advisable

44:15

down the road. But something that

44:17

you certainly haven't heard of before

44:19

is Eldritch Blast being

44:22

a general skill that

44:24

people have. It feels very pact based. It

44:26

feels very warlock based. Even

44:29

with an 11, you've never heard of that being on

44:31

a scroll. So to say it couldn't be, it's just

44:33

very strange. Okay. Yeah,

44:36

look, in the time that I've spent chatting

44:38

with Vincent about an entire nation of warlocks,

44:41

she's explained to me kind of how that works.

44:44

And there is a very serious pledge that goes

44:46

on to get that

44:48

power. It feels like it's very

44:50

protected, exclusive power. When you're

44:52

talking about an Eldritch Blast, you

44:56

need to promise,

44:59

you need to pledge yourself. As

45:04

I understand it, the way I experienced it, you've got

45:06

to offer up your soul to get

45:08

the power. Like it's a serious pact,

45:10

right? So the fact that

45:12

it's just written down on a piece of paper

45:14

for some asshole to use doesn't quite track with

45:16

me. But maybe that's

45:18

the case. But I don't quite buy it. Because

45:20

the Godfeds told me that there's a scroll involved

45:22

in this somehow. And I don't know how that

45:24

works. If it's not that, then what's the scroll?

45:27

Racy disappeary? What

45:31

about reincarnation or something like

45:34

that? A spell like that? I

45:37

just have a hard time believing that

45:39

Longadon and everyone under him is

45:42

a patsy in a frame job. Just

45:44

for some reason think Longadon was in

45:46

on it. And that it

45:49

would be with a scroll, I guess,

45:51

easy enough to blow

45:55

your own head off and walk out of here

45:57

in an object.

46:00

another body or something

46:02

like that. Okay,

46:05

listen, I agree that that's

46:07

all totally possible. So

46:09

here's the challenge I set before you three

46:11

as my most capable servants in this whole

46:13

realm. Yeah, here we go. Prove it. If

46:15

Longadon Geese used a scroll to zap himself

46:17

into a new reincarnated body to be able

46:19

to walk out of here, I

46:22

need you to prove it in the next hour. Otherwise,

46:24

I'm gonna have to call that army from Cormir

46:26

outside and hope they have a cleric who can

46:28

cast Zone of Truth. I'm gonna have to have

46:30

them come in here and Zone of Truth me,

46:32

the king of this nation, to explain what we

46:34

found and how we are not at fault. And

46:37

then just pray to me that

46:39

the Lord's Alliance and Cormir and everybody else

46:42

believes it. Or I

46:44

think we're fucked. Alright,

46:47

well if a scroll was used, it was used in that room,

46:50

we assume. So, Sheriff,

46:55

you might as well wheel your

46:57

way back in there and you put on

47:00

your investigating accent. We

47:02

gotta find some scroll fragments

47:05

or something to even start this

47:07

thing. Alright, if

47:09

you need my assistance, I'll do what I can.

47:12

And Reginald cracks a gem and snorts it

47:14

and says, we got

47:16

ourselves a ticking clock friends.

47:18

It's time to solve this

47:20

here mystery to prevent a

47:22

war. And

47:25

so dumb dumbs together

47:27

at last. Smart smarts. The

47:30

party smarts. Party

47:33

of smarts. I admire a less

47:35

intelligent sounding name than dumb dumb.

47:37

Look, if the

47:39

smart shoe fits, finally

47:42

reunited, all of you make your

47:44

way back towards Longdawn Geese's room,

47:48

needing to solve once and for all

47:50

what occurred in that room to that

47:52

envoy in the next hour before

47:55

the angry army of Cormir rolls

47:57

over. And Then you got to get

47:59

your ass to Sembia. Where. A

48:01

bunch of the undead are still.

48:03

Fuckin. Waiting for you. Please.
