16:15
you... Ophelia, you... Ophelia,
16:17
you... Ophelia, you... Ophelia, you...
16:19
Ophelia, you... Ophelia,
16:21
you... Ophelia, you... Ophelia,
16:25
you find yourself now in this space
16:27
which resembles the court that you've been
16:29
in. And you feel that you have
16:31
come to love so much that you know, but stood on this balcony,
16:34
you see like looking around
16:36
in terror and fear the
16:39
spirit of Tyria, Adler, Tyria Medrick, the
16:42
spirit that you have... You
16:45
know who she is, like you kind of feel like you
16:47
have a greater sense of who she is and
16:49
you see that she's just weeping,
16:51
she's kind of sat on these
16:53
stairs like just softly weeping like,
16:55
it's not fair. I just
16:58
want, I want to make him pay. And
17:01
yeah, she's just crying that. I think Ophelia will
17:03
reach out her hand and just say to her, you
17:06
said you wanted my strength, you wanted what I
17:08
have. You fought for
17:10
yourself every day. Every day
17:12
you got out of bed, every day you breathed
17:15
despite him, what an act of strength and
17:17
defiance. Let's take him down
17:19
together. You will get your revenge.
17:22
She says to you... He
17:26
wasn't always like it, it's
17:28
like something changed. It's
17:30
like he became possessed or
17:32
something. Like things were bad, but... More...
17:38
More his
17:41
depression grew, more violent
17:43
than the anger he became. He
17:45
wasn't the man I loved. Thank
17:48
you. Ah, you don't need to roll, that was really good. Oh,

18:08
are important to her. Like you've mentioned
18:10

18:48
the kind of the. The Spirit: The
18:50
feel his face is looking around
18:52
scared being surrounded, weapons drawn by
18:54
to suddenly almost realizing where she

18:58
what was happening before and just
19:00
like crouches down all of her

would be yeah yeah Kiss and everything that
23:35
just because it's easier if you are getting

ran outside and it's not the thirty scary
23:39
but it shows that you are armed you
23:41
know I mean like it's like having some
23:43
be in full armor kind of wine is
23:46
still always be your neely it's very non
23:48
confrontational book just the of for my benefit
23:50
trying to think that characters perspective he'd i
23:52
think he'd fall has had as well. the
23:54
i said he's not making eye contact is
23:56
not really like looking for him in the
23:58
case with injured soon. Rohan I
24:00
will say at the end of the
24:03
turn as a chance the spirit might
24:05
try and Gareth the anything like happens
24:07
to scare her of fine how she
24:09
might smile for handle again but for
24:11
now is just kind of voice shaking
24:13
looking terrified all of you but row
24:16
in the chosen a romans fun and
24:18
he just woke up. A
24:21
poet scrap of the way. To
24:24
discuss Pentagon and wouldn't be in like a friend
24:26
on will be like good a panicked way addict
24:28
way. So you have to move away from. Has
24:30
you'd probably did this way for sale.
24:32
was like throwing away about Dallas Stars
24:34
that he could crawl. If you don't
24:37
want to cover all of the said,
24:39
you're crawling. Prime object, Discover what is
24:41
your second offensive action against and so
24:43
like he doesn't panic or anything like
24:45
that, but you do scrabble in fear.
24:47
her arm special movement is a reaction
24:50
you looked upon. section. Of
24:55
gives think that. Caught
24:59
it. And about how
25:01
engine of for humans to make sense
25:03
like some good runs could scared of
25:06
this point to roll the into the
25:08
stock for the fear in this instance
25:10
you makes a while you're still find
25:12
out that at a loss until sunday
25:15
conditions of deployments and ophelia so you
25:17
on just sat there on the stairs
25:19
i rear and of looking at you
25:21
and you can see that like. Wall.
25:26
The difference between that spirit
25:28
that you saw with just
25:30
this got carved up face
25:32
like one i barely still
25:34
functioning, the broken windpipe, the
25:36
tattered clothes like mouse he
25:38
just looks like of just
25:40
a normal woman, just a
25:42
regular everyday person Just going
25:44
about their lives and see
25:46
will look to you and
25:48
say. promise
25:55
me I
26:02
will. The
26:07
last possession token is removed from
26:09
the spirit and Ophelia.
26:12
Everything goes white and
26:15
then suddenly you are sat
26:17
on the ground, Daisy holding your hand,
26:19
a few of your friends scattered. Rowan
26:22
and Xanthius, the fear leaves immediately
26:24
as you watch as Ophelia's head
26:26
droops and
26:28
then when she breathes it is Ophelia. And
26:31
that supernatural fear is gone. The
26:34
lights all come back on. Ophelia
26:39
is it? Is that you? Is
26:41
it over? That is... Daisy? Rowan are you all
26:43
okay? Are you going to bite me again? I bit you?
26:46
Daisy I'm sorry I bit you! It's you! She's
26:48
back! It's Ophelia! Where's...
26:51
The... Er... Scard
26:53
Lady. You see
26:55
hovering just behind Ophelia.
26:58
And pushed out of the
27:01
body you see a much more frightening visage of the
27:03
Scard Lady Tyria
27:18
whatever you want to refer to her
27:20
as but now once again the horrid
27:22
sort of slash marks across the face,
27:25
the bruised windpipe. Promise! Yeah.
27:29
I was
27:32
going to say can I use one of
27:34
the charges of my ability
27:36
and so
27:40
that she can talk to me in
27:44
my head and she can communicate and she
27:46
doesn't need to struggle. You can certainly try. I
27:49
can try? I don't know what... Roll your die. I
27:51
don't know what but it's not a check to do it. Roll
27:53
the dice see how long it lasts first of all. Okay.
27:57
Five Hours. Okay Five hours. We're.
28:05
Reason I'm on Did:
28:07
couldn't telepathically communicate. So.
28:11
Yeah you feel daisy name nimble
28:14
say to you with a one.
28:16
I have not tried something of
28:18
this like before but. I
28:21
have established contacts with magical things before
28:23
with Navy base. And.
28:27
And you feel this kind of ribbon of light.
28:30
Of your mind and it touches
28:32
the the spirits the spare almost
28:35
size weights. very slow motion like
28:37
trying to pull away from it
28:39
but as it touches you feel
28:41
something connect. Hi
28:43
I don't want you to The
28:46
struggled to speak to us. Poses.
28:51
And hearing you but you're not speaking
28:53
of you can see me if. You
28:56
can. A can
28:58
see the goes to Mrs. Yeah,
29:02
you don't need to see, you don't need
29:04
to strain to to speak this way if
29:06
it's more comfortable for you, To some
29:08
sort of whizzes something of. It's just
29:10
that an ability that I have. I'm.
29:15
But I just wanted you to know that we're not.
29:17
We're not gonna hurt you. We want to help. Others
29:20
have come before. They.
29:23
Clerics chat and others
29:26
and try. Try
29:31
to banish me. Ah
29:33
me. I keep.
29:36
Acting. I thought you were
29:39
like them. I
29:41
didn't like. People being in
29:43
a in. The
29:49
public, the rest of you daisies just
29:51
by locked eyes. Did
29:54
I was just looking one that away? I
29:56
know they urgently I can fully I did
29:58
where there is an accent yeah. Yeah,
30:00
I can listen to people to do it
30:02
too, so I could tell if you'd like
30:04
to have somebody included. I could include
30:07
Ophelia because I think he's connected.
30:09
Cecilia. Show of force. I would
30:11
probably include a serious that she
30:13
could hear organ the conversation. Yeah,
30:15
absolutely. I
30:18
just we. We were given this.
30:20
In for just do you
30:23
think? Some some good deeds of
30:25
around and we would really like
30:27
to six it up for you
30:29
but as we don't want. We
30:32
don't want to harm you. We want to
30:34
help. And we find out that. Family
30:38
Something horrible happened here. Try.
30:43
Hard on. Me: But
30:46
I call. On.
30:52
Killed me. Became
30:57
so cool. He
30:59
became so violent.
31:03
It wasn't like cable. He
31:06
was so sweet He had
31:08
such dream. But
31:11
the charge a made everyone
31:14
hate us and it made
31:16
him made every. Something.
31:23
Like. Angrier,
31:30
All. Night. And
31:34
then he turned on me. He.
31:37
Was jealous and other men
31:39
looked at me. And
31:47
strangled. I
31:50
don't know what happened after that. Icons.
31:57
something is stopping me We
32:01
would like to find out what that is so that we can
32:03
help you. But
32:06
if it's okay with you, if
32:08
we can just be around the
32:10
inn, we mean no harm, but we
32:13
would like to try and make
32:16
it look pretty again, like
32:18
it used to. And
32:21
we would like to just
32:23
use it as a place to rest for now, and
32:25
then we can go out and we can look for a
32:27
solution for this. She
32:31
thinks to you in the scarred face.
32:33
She almost zooms in closer now to
32:36
Daisy, coming alongside
32:38
Ophelia, almost like leaning around Ophelia, and
32:40
you can sense this like ghostly shape,
32:43
kind of almost protect, like not protectively,
32:45
but using you to protect her. Like
32:50
having formed this kind of bond with
32:52
Ophelia, but looks at you, Daisy,
32:54
and it's not a pleasant sight. It's
32:57
quite discomforting to have this very
32:59
disfigured face, but also knowing the gruesome truth
33:01
behind it. And in your mind, you hear, Please,
33:09
no reflections, no
33:12
windows or mirrors. I
33:16
cannot promise that
33:19
my mind will not
33:21
become unstable, but I will try.
33:25
It has been a long time, and
33:28
I am cold and
33:30
alone, and I want
33:32
to be at peace. We
33:37
can do that. No reflections.
33:40
We can talk to you, if you want.
33:42
If you ever want someone to talk to, then
33:45
I can do this, which, I
33:47
guess. Please do
33:49
not bring others here. Okay.
33:52
I trust. And
33:55
she kind of almost puts a hand around Ophelia's
33:57
shoulders and reaches out her hand for you, Daisy.
34:00
And Light does look at the other three, but obviously isn't
34:02
communicating with them, right? Find
34:08
the ones responsible And
34:12
I feel that there is something
34:15
else that stops me from
34:17
passing on But
34:19
I do not know I'm
34:22
sorry You begin to see
34:24
that she's kind of almost beginning to fade Kind
34:28
of dissipating Begins
34:31
floating back I'll try
34:33
if you first do need to talk
34:38
You can talk to me Thank
34:40
you And
34:42
with that she vanishes into the therioplane There
34:49
is a moment of stillness Bloodied,
34:54
battered, bruised, but we
34:57
all look to one another Were
35:00
you speaking out loud like during that for everyone else
35:02
to hear? No, it has to be in, it has
35:04
to be telepathic Okay Ro
35:07
just had his hands over his eyes So
35:10
he couldn't look at the spirit that whole
35:12
time. Okay. I will
35:14
tell The group
35:16
what the conversation was so that they
35:18
know Sure,
35:21
absolutely Okay,
35:23
okay. No, no mirrors. No reflections. No windows.
35:25
We can we can do that. Don't bring
35:27
anyone else in Okay,
35:31
we need to figure this out ourselves Well,
35:35
she's gone it's okay, Rowan I
35:38
learned that Well,
35:40
I told you all this There's
35:43
something that probably keeps her here We're
35:48
not the knife and the source no
35:51
what it is But
35:53
we need to find the cavern or cavern
35:55
at least Well, I'd
35:57
like to well apparently But...
36:02
But nobody's ever looked so we don't know if that's true.
36:05
Yeah, can't be certain. We need to research
36:07
it. Really. Okay.
36:09
But we could look around... I mean we
36:11
have the rest of the night. We could look around the
36:13
rest of the house. I think we
36:15
should probably rest. I think that might be
36:17
best. You'll have to. The situation and I'm
36:21
terribly sorry for
36:23
what happened. Well, look at
36:25
you! That wasn't you. I
36:28
know, I know. I was
36:32
the one that did it to you. I know. Not
36:35
mentally, but physically, yes. No!
36:39
I'm sorry. No, it's
36:41
Percy. Percy, yes, Percy. Percy,
36:43
Percy. Percy makes his way up. He can see
36:45
that your outfit's been a bit sort of tattered.
36:47
Oh, thank you, Percy. Begin to amend it, amend
36:50
your hair, like, you know, sense
36:52
that things are not as
36:54
they should be. His default orders come into play.
36:57
Thank you, Percy. It was
36:59
scary having Ophelia coming at
37:02
us, but like Xanthia
37:04
says, it wasn't you
37:06
behind those eyes. No, it
37:09
might have hurt you back a little bit
37:11
to sort of speed up the
37:13
process of getting you back. Yeah, as a point, Ophelia, you are
37:15
technically the one who hit the point. Oh,
37:17
wow. Yeah, you're very bad. You are very
37:19
badly injured. You have stab wounds and broken,
37:21
you know, bone. You know, you've been beaten
37:23
up. Okay. We
37:26
should be apologizing for, I
37:28
mean, for this, but also,
37:30
I mean, we didn't help
37:32
in any way. I don't know where you went,
37:34
but we didn't know what to do. I didn't
37:37
know what I was doing either. I was just trying
37:40
to talk to it, or her,
37:42
I suppose, since this
37:46
is sort of in my wheelhouse, I suppose.
37:49
I was just trying to appeal to it as
37:51
a friend. I think it
37:53
worked. I think it worked with
37:55
what you did as well. I will tell
37:58
you mechanically, the... spirit
38:00
is kind of going to be
38:02
friendly for a period of
38:04
time and this is a case of like
38:07
not intentionally but as the spirit you know
38:09
spirits are in a kind of bad way
38:11
and their madness and the nature of their
38:13
deaths and things can twist their mind it
38:15
may become that Tyria becomes unstable in the
38:17
future so this isn't like a she's never
38:19
gonna attack anybody again or anything like that
38:21
but you have definitely bought yourself time. You've
38:23
got a window. You have a window of
38:26
time where she's friendly and she
38:28
is gonna be you're gonna treat her as
38:30
a friendly creature she will be present at
38:33
nighttime but she
38:35
will not attack any of you. If
38:37
you bring other people to the inn that
38:39
may go out the window but
38:41
she is at least a moment.
38:44
Yeah, yeah, likewise yeah things like
38:46
reflections and windows might also trigger
38:48
her to basically become
38:51
unstable you know and lash out.
38:54
And the windows currently there's none. They're
38:56
all wooden shutters yeah
38:59
they were being magically held closed like
39:01
without the ghost power to keep them
39:03
closed they kind of swing open and
39:05
they're not very secure but
39:08
not that anybody seems to be really sneaking
39:10
into this place later night. Nighttime. Yeah, it's
39:12
also like it's haunted and everyone's terrified at
39:15
this place. But we do we have any
39:17
indication of how much time it's necessarily bought
39:19
us I mean it's not like an hour.
39:21
No, but you don't know how long it's
39:23
not yeah it's not I'm not gonna you're not gonna have like
39:25
an hour. You might see signs
39:27
of like yeah you'll
39:30
be able to tell. Yeah, yeah. Well
39:33
definitely rest I think. It's somewhere for us to rest
39:35
just now that we don't need to pay for. But
39:38
maybe we should. If we could somewhat
39:40
close the shutters and. Yeah, yeah.
39:42
It is not a comfortable place to
39:45
rest but you can rest here. It's
39:49
free. I mean there's this. Which is what
39:51
David is thinking. There are beds up in
39:53
the in-room so the big double bed in
39:55
the in Tyria's room and then you have
39:57
these three bedrooms that are like in rooms.
40:00
and they have vents? They're not. They're so
40:02
dusty. They're like dusty, like the bed, like
40:04
the straw mattresses are like completely ruined. Like
40:06
it's not going to be the most pleasant
40:08
night's day. They all got pressed to ditch.
40:11
Um, but also you guys have got things like your
40:13
own bed rolls and stuff that you've brought with you.
40:15
You can lay those guys down. Basically, the, what this
40:17
is going to be is, is, is going to be
40:19
as if you were camping out in the wilderness with
40:21
no benefits. So all you can do is rest here.
40:24
Um, you won't get all of your hit points back,
40:26
but you will get most of them back. Yeah, I
40:28
got a bed roll. And also a two person tent.
40:30
Yeah. Uh, in case you want to block
40:32
out the light for anyone. Yeah, there is
40:34
a massive hole in the roof over here.
40:36
Like for temporarily you could like stretch the
40:39
top. Yeah, it is kind of raining a
40:41
little bit and stuff. Yeah. Okay. I'll
40:43
spend my time doing that and set up a bed roll. I think it
40:45
would be a good idea if you're spending your
40:47
time doing that. I, I
40:50
think we should maybe go around the house to
40:52
try and buy as much time as we can.
40:54
Find anything that can reflect, try to
40:56
cover it up, hide it or something. Um,
40:58
actually that's the one good point. I need
41:00
to go back, not a retcon necessarily, but
41:02
I want to go back to almost a
41:04
flashback. Rowan, when you felt
41:06
the saving throw against the frightening scream,
41:08
the terrifying visage, what do you think
41:10
Rowan would have seen? And it has
41:13
to be something almost like a very
41:15
primal fear for Rowan. This could be
41:17
like seeing Ophelia killing one of your
41:19
new friends. This could be
41:21
seeing your loot breaking
41:24
apart or something. You know, you tell
41:26
me what this could be. I
41:28
have a good idea for Xanthius because I created
41:31
his demons literally. I
41:35
think it would be Rowan similarly
41:37
losing control of his own body and hurting
41:39
someone else. Becoming the kind
41:41
of big bruiser, raging, you know,
41:43
like bully basically and causing harm
41:45
that he doesn't wish to see have
41:48
done to others. Yeah, great. So you
41:50
see yourself almost as this red
41:52
eyed rage is like, yeah, murderous rage
41:54
kind of thing. Yeah, so that's what
41:57
we see with that. Okay.
42:00
Nice. Well, I want
42:02
to check in with Gruff as well, Kim. Anything
42:04
that you want Gruff to do or say or
42:06
anything going through Gruff's mind? Are you okay as
42:08
a player? I think I'm dying slightly
42:10
as a player. Yeah. But
42:13
I think I also just got my hearing back in
42:15
one year, so that's cool. Swings
42:20
and roundabouts in this corner. I
42:22
think Gruff, like, as he kind of
42:25
sees, you know, everything calming
42:27
down, everything going back to normal, he's
42:31
just going to quietly start sweeping one of
42:33
the rooms while everyone's still chatting, because he
42:36
wants to go to bed. He's getting into
42:38
it, yeah. He got thrown off a balcony.
42:40
He's very tired and very sore. And
42:42
while they're all talking about all the nice things and
42:44
all that, and I'm like, no one's in any immediate
42:46
good, she's pissed off upstairs. I'm just going
42:48
to sweep one of these rooms and get my bedroll
42:51
out. Absolutely.
42:54
So you begin prepping one of the rooms.
42:57
You guys can take a long rest here
42:59
before you hit the button. There'll
43:02
be a need to be a little bit of manual stuff. Daisy,
43:06
Gruff and Ophelia, you
43:09
guys can restore half your hit points. So if
43:11
you've lost any, basically, rather than going up to
43:13
full, you will regain half of what
43:16
you can ignore. You can go up to half HP, basically.
43:18
You can recover enough HP to half. So I've got 22
43:20
out of 27, so... So
43:23
you can't gain any more from a long rest,
43:25
because the conditions here are not comfortable, right? So
43:27
if we're already at half, we can't... If you
43:29
can't go above half HP, yeah. Because
43:31
the resting here is very unpleasant.
43:33
It's very uncomfortable. You've got no
43:35
food. The beds are
43:37
really gross. It's all damp. It is
43:40
not a pleasant stay. You can spend
43:42
hit dice as if it was a short rest. If you want
43:44
to spend your hit dice, you can. And
43:46
you'll regain half of your hit dice as normal.
43:48
You get all your spells back. You get all
43:50
your class abilities back. Rowan
43:53
and Xanthius. And
43:56
you both failed the saving
43:58
throw. Yes. you
44:02
sleep does not
44:05
come nicely for either of
44:07
you you cannot get
44:09
out of your minds when you try
44:11
and rest the horrifying
44:13
twisted visage of Tyria
44:15
of the things that
44:17
you saw in that moment of fear
44:20
and there is almost like a
44:22
cold clinging to you that you cannot
44:24
shake no matter how much fire or
44:27
warmth or blankets you try and find
44:30
you find no comfort in rest
44:33
you do not regain any hit points from
44:35
a long rest and also
44:37
I need you
44:39
both to reduce your constitution and wisdom
44:42
by one each oh my
44:44
god the
44:47
Constitution and wisdom oh
44:50
my god my wisdom is so nice you
44:52
don't know if this is permanent if this
44:54
is temporary you don't know what this is
44:56
but you do you are aware that when
44:59
you wake up you do not
45:02
feel rested you feel
45:04
worn you feel
45:06
very tired your
45:08
mind is kind of feeling a bit
45:11
scattered like you do not feel good
45:13
you feel as if
45:15
a supernatural force feels like
45:17
you feel very unwell unwound
45:19
yeah like drained and unwound
45:21
basically Kim's gonna say feel like
45:23
me every day come here to escape man out of
45:25
character obviously
45:30
your characters don't know this I'm gonna trust
45:32
you guys with this knowledge yeah you are
45:34
under a supernatural effect you
45:38
will need to find out what that is and what
45:40
you can do about it but I
45:42
will tell you it is not it is not
45:44
necessarily permanent but it is ongoing
45:48
yeah now does that have because
45:52
it hit me twice no so
45:54
if you it's just one thing now if that did reduce
45:56
your like say your con was 12 and you've gone down
45:58
to 11 You lose four hit
46:01
points as well, don't forget. Because
46:05
you lose a point of constitution, so you're
46:07
hit point max- Sorry, three points because you're
46:09
only level three, three hit points. Your maximum
46:11
HP is reduced by three, if you lost
46:13
a modifier. So I didn't lose a modifier
46:15
on con, I did lose a modifier on
46:17
con. So that will only apply for saving
46:19
frozen stuff afterwards. Pardon my wisdom, it's bad.
46:23
Seven. Yeah. So
46:26
for you, and I think that's very apt because
46:28
for you, even in your
46:30
waking moments, you cannot shift that. Like,
46:32
you're going to become that. That is harsh. That's
46:36
your future. Like, that is, you're
46:38
on borrowed time, man. Like, for
46:42
Rowan, yeah, I don't know if he did knock you down on
46:44
modifier on con. Yeah, it
46:46
did. So yeah, minus three, maximum HP. So
46:50
do we actually, as
46:52
characters, recognise that we are- You
46:55
know that you feel bad. Like, you're like, I
46:57
don't feel good, I feel bad. Like,
46:59
you are, and you're aware that you're
47:01
like, you just can't get these horrible,
47:04
and like, that cold, like, you can't
47:06
like, get warm, things are not good.
47:09
Things are not right. You are very much aware of
47:11
that. Even with the fire inside? Even
47:14
with the fire inside, it's like, it's clinging, it's
47:16
like, maybe it's even worse, it's
47:18
like having a hot inside, but your outside
47:20
is so cold. Oh. Like a poorly cooked
47:22
baked potato. A poorly cooked baked potato.
47:24
What a very nothing worse. That is
47:26
an Englishman's curse. But in reverse, it's
47:28
like a reverse cooked potato where it's
47:30
really hot in the middle, but it's
47:32
cold on the outside. I don't know.
47:36
Englishman's curse upon you. That you cook them
47:38
by like, heating up a knife and then
47:40
just shove it in. Yeah. Yeah. It's like,
47:42
it's frozen dinner and it's like, it's still
47:44
frozen in the middle. Oh,
47:47
outside. I'm sorry everybody. That's how I feel
47:49
right now. Okay.
47:53
Yeah, that sucks, bro. So,
47:57
yeah, I would have wanted to.
48:00
I guess well if people were setting up tents or
48:02
having some time like if I do wander around The
48:05
tavern into some of the rooms we haven't been in to
48:08
cover up reflections or whatever There
48:10
is none remaining like every window has been
48:12
broken any mirror that existed has been broken
48:15
There is nothing left that can cause a
48:17
reflection trashed. Yeah, that's what and you're yeah
48:19
You can begin to see that it's so
48:21
trashed It looks like basically there is like
48:23
an area like you look into the garden
48:26
like anything there even out in the street
48:28
like that lamppost one of the ever lights
48:31
is broken That is and
48:33
that's the only thing within the radius of the
48:35
the street basically That
48:37
seems to be affected Indeed
48:41
Indeed how far? What
48:43
if we can investigate that you can do
48:45
whatever you like one other thing before we jump back into a
48:47
little bit more of gameplay This
48:50
now sets up because you've encountered Tyria and you
48:52
kind of have a clearer idea of what's going
48:54
on This is basically
48:56
a quest quest a lot If
48:59
you can lay Tyria to rest
49:02
you will level up So if you
49:04
find the source of tyrots causing if you can lay
49:06
her to rest Which might not be one thing it
49:08
might be multiple things if you lay terrier to rest
49:11
you will gain a level So if you gain another
49:13
level and you come back and you play to arrest
49:15
you're going to that's another level, baby Also,
49:18
there might also be another reward if
49:21
you can get if you can discover the secret
49:23
There might be another rewards to this as well write that
49:26
down put in the quest log Give
49:28
it a catchy name you think Kim's not writing that I
49:30
know she is well the surely the
49:32
quest file is Tyria's rest Okay,
49:48
and that involves get
49:50
justice find cavern Late
49:53
I read to rest is West objective
49:55
kill cavern. I'm hearing kill cavern kill
49:57
cavern. Yeah, I feel here
50:00
It could be part of it. Part one. Part one.
50:03
It could be part one. Do all the rest of the
50:05
owl. Yeah. Yeah. Lay
50:07
a spirit to rest peacefully. Please. Peacefully.
50:09
Or just lay a spirit to rest. We
50:11
have to. Is it morning now? Yeah. By
50:14
this point, yeah, we can say that it gets warm. Unless there's anything
50:16
you guys want to do during the night, but like you said, I
50:18
think it's with everything that's gone on, it's probably a quick pass out
50:20
and... Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay,
50:23
you want to stay for the life. Yeah. It
50:25
is morning. Sun comes up. You
50:28
do not encounter Tyrea the rest of the night and
50:30
when Sun is up, there is this
50:32
kind of... There is that
50:34
feeling of being in a place that's
50:37
abandoned and quiet and now you know
50:39
she is still here but
50:42
is not able to necessarily manifest in the same
50:44
way during the day. But that presence does not
50:46
go away. Like you might
50:48
occasionally see like down on the bar,
50:50
like these broken cups and broken tankers
50:53
that have been left get like moved.
50:55
Like one of them just kind of moves to
50:58
the side as if somebody is pulling it across or shifting
51:00
out of the way. Oh, there might be that thing where
51:02
you pick up a shot of glass
51:04
and just in the reflection over your shoulder you just
51:06
see the scarlet. You just said reflection bro. Yeah.
51:10
But yes, in this case, it's more
51:12
that if I read a video, yeah,
51:14
like you put it down again. That's
51:17
cool. Nice. Brody.
51:19
Not good. Oh, I want it home.
51:22
No, I am also. In the morning.
51:24
Oh, could we spend hit dice? Yeah.
51:27
You and Rowan, you can
51:29
take a short rest now if you want to spend
51:32
hit dice and you regain hit dice but you don't
51:34
know hit points when you take a long rest. I
51:36
see. Okay. Bad.
51:39
It's real bad. If they
51:41
for the case mechanics. You can also be healed. Like
51:43
so like, you know, Gruff can cast kill wounds on
51:45
you. If he wants. If
51:48
he wants. The frightening conditions still there. No, no, that was
51:50
gone when that's gone. Tell me about
51:52
prep and spells are going like I'm prepared. You can
51:54
change any spells you want. Yeah. So
51:57
when you when you wake up, you can choose what spells
51:59
you prep protection. What does that look like for Gruff
52:01
though? I'd be interested to know like what is
52:03
the ritual that Gruff does to change
52:06
the magic that he has access to because he's
52:08
a druid. Gruff's a druid but not in a traditional
52:10
druidic sense right in a long way. Yeah, it's
52:12
kind of a complicated thing. Is
52:14
this like going through martial practice? Is
52:16
this like training to be a knight?
52:18
Is this reflecting on ballads and songs
52:21
of knights? I have a really dorky
52:23
idea. You're
52:25
gonna hate it. I kind of almost have
52:28
this image of him in the kitchen
52:30
prepping the fish but just the ritual of prepping
52:32
the fish. Like that very most radical he's very
52:34
skilled at it, something he's done for a long
52:36
time. And that is
52:38
almost meditative for him. Like just it's again
52:40
it's something he knows. He grounds it. This
52:43
is within his realm of control. And
52:45
maybe that. No, I think
52:47
that works. Like fishing is what your connection
52:49
is to nature is fishing right? Like an
52:52
ice and cold and things like that. I
52:54
think that you know definitely is like there's
52:56
probably an element here of like as you're doing
52:58
it you're going through these mantras and things like
53:00
that in your mind that you've been taught of
53:02
like ways to connect to the earth. And
53:06
although it's you know preparing fish for
53:08
a morning breakfast or whatever it's also
53:10
like feeling the garden outside, feeling the
53:13
wood beneath your feet, beneath your paws,
53:15
extending your senses out into the world.
53:17
But it is this calming thing you
53:19
have done a hundred
53:21
thousand times before and it just brings you that
53:23
calm like yep I know what I'm doing and
53:25
that puts you in that mindset. I love it. Yeah.
53:28
So yeah you can change any spells you know you
53:30
just probably I think you have a number of spells
53:32
you can prepare per day. Yeah. It's normally weaves in
53:34
one level. You take Shalei out.
53:36
You put a cube right back in. Say
53:39
like yeah yeah. Shalei.
53:41
Nice goes in, guts him out. Nice goes in,
53:43
guts him out. I was thinking of that. He
53:47
would probably be singing sea shanties under his
53:49
breath. He would be you know singing songs
53:51
of home and the water. Oh
53:53
hi icy boy. Hi that
53:55
kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
53:58
Yeah. Great, I love
54:00
that. See, I think it's normally your
54:02
wisdom modifier plus your level is how many spells
54:04
you can prep and then you can prep spells
54:07
from whatever levels you can cast from. Three.
54:10
So it'd be three plus three. Three, six. While
54:14
that's been decided, Rowan will,
54:18
if anyone's stirred. I
54:21
feel he's in the outbuilding. Okay,
54:23
oh no. Yeah,
54:25
so a feeling outside you've gone out into
54:28
the garden. I think she slept in the
54:30
outbuilding. Okay, yeah, sure. Just because she's still
54:33
wary of the possession and stuff and
54:35
doesn't want to get possessed
54:37
again. Yeah, no, so you went
54:39
outside. The garden does not attack you. You
54:41
make your way out into the little shed. It's kind
54:43
of like a shed at the moment, like a barn.
54:47
It's in about as good condition as the rest of
54:49
the seven. And yeah, you
54:52
sleep peacefully in there. And then yeah, you wake
54:54
up the next morning looking around, it's a fairly
54:56
usable space. But
54:58
yeah, what's Rowan doing? Don't
55:01
ask to wake in here. I
55:04
mean, I imagine we probably wake at a very similar
55:06
time having done the same man of sleep. I
55:09
think that I guess pretty much I'm stumbling
55:14
out of my room. He gruffs that me up. He's doing
55:16
fish in the kitchen. Daisy's
55:18
not an early writer. Daisy's done better.
55:21
Uncomfortable as it is. She has wrapped
55:23
herself in as many blankets as she can. I
55:26
think if I hear any noise. I
55:29
brought in burnel, that blanket is paying
55:31
off, buddy. Like I would have got
55:33
almost exactly zero sleep where
55:36
it feels like if I was ever asleep,
55:38
it was for like one minute to every
55:40
hour. Yeah, I hate that. Exactly that kind
55:42
of feeling. Close your eyes. It feels like,
55:45
imagine that with a supernatural coldness and
55:47
just yeah, and like your mind being
55:49
plagued by these horrible frightening visions. So
55:51
if I hear anyone getting up, I
55:54
will also begrudgingly wake
55:56
up. Because you have a rough night as well. I
55:58
did. Awful,
56:00
actually, Rowan. No
56:03
sleep for me, unfortunately. Well,
56:07
if you're like me, I've had a lot of time to think
56:09
about how we can sort
56:11
this out. Okay, sort
56:13
the ghost out? Yeah. Okay.
56:17
If we want to keep this place, that is. I think it would be beneficial
56:19
for the locals anyway to
56:21
help. But I
56:24
was thinking. Do
56:26
you remember when we took
56:30
poor Halfling to fix the landblighter's light,
56:32
and they were possessed, and it was
56:35
all based on the negativity of the
56:37
broken light? Yes. Do you think
56:39
it's related? Well, there's
56:41
a broken light outside.
56:45
Is that...it's on the road,
56:47
though. Is that still within the control of...? I don't know,
56:49
but... Do you think
56:51
there's a...one of those devices in it? I
56:54
don't know. But I've had
56:56
so long to think about it. Okay.
56:59
I...my mind was elsewhere,
57:02
Rowan. Completely different place, I
57:04
think. But if
57:06
you want me to have a look at this
57:09
land, and I've taken up another one before... Well,
57:11
maybe we could look at that. But also, I
57:13
might ask, anyone that's been here
57:15
longer than four years, when
57:17
that broke, was it because of
57:20
the...the ghost? It's
57:23
worth a try. Smashing everything, or was
57:25
it broken prior to the enticing devil
57:28
going under? It
57:31
would mean that these lanterns
57:33
have been like this for years,
57:35
though. Where? The
57:38
effect this might have had on the entire city. It's...uh...town,
57:40
city. Um... It's
57:44
worth a big town. Big town. Small city.
57:47
True. But my
57:50
mind is muddled. It may not be a good assessment.
58:00
one of these discs in you don't need to
58:02
make a check because you know you know what
58:04
you're looking for now. I'll give Xanthius like a
58:06
little boost a boost up yeah I mean how
58:09
awake are we right now how actually willing
58:11
are we to be quite a zombie yes yeah
58:13
but also don't want to be haunted again
58:15
yeah that's true I'm pushing through it I will
58:17
does this wake you up like scrambling outside
58:19
on the right
58:24
yeah right I team
58:27
rocket out of the bat. There you go animatics
58:29
to get that one. To
58:34
get the visual layout as well for you
58:36
Ophelia right the main the the building you're
58:38
in is within the fenced enclosure of the
58:40
space it's not on there but
58:43
the the outbuilding is in the fenced enclosure of
58:45
the inn's land yeah and so you would have
58:47
to go through the inn to get onto the
58:49
street there's no direct access from the street to
58:51
your little building but
58:53
yeah you can kind of come out and stood
58:56
in the garden through the the iron fence that's
58:58
all rusted and bent you see these two by
59:00
this broken street light with Xanthius being boosted
59:02
up imagine you see it as we're walking
59:04
over it's just like
59:08
a shuffling foot
59:11
and then yeah you get almost leap
59:13
on the lamp coast because you just
59:15
stood on my shoulder. I would try
59:17
to take a part. Yeah well I
59:19
said you don't need to make a
59:21
check because you've done this before and
59:23
if you were... Just
59:27
glass shard bouncing off my face. I
59:29
don't even throw my just drops on my
59:31
face. Gliding in glass and going... I
59:34
don't feel it. By little
59:37
shards of rain falling down. Ophel.
59:41
Xanthius. Yes. If you had
59:43
not found that
59:45
disk in the Riverside district there's
59:48
no way you would know. Okay. But
59:52
knowing what you know begin
59:55
examining the everlight and sure
59:57
enough you find... very
1:00:00
similar but it looks
1:00:02
less complete. Maybe
1:00:05
like a prototype or a
1:00:07
first attempt. Okay. But you
1:00:09
find a near, not
1:00:12
replica but like yeah, an earlier
1:00:14
version of the same sort of
1:00:17
disc that's inserted into the base of
1:00:19
this magical light with that
1:00:21
same symbol and that same marking. I'm
1:00:24
like examining it quite close to my face. I
1:00:27
look down. Rowan. I
1:00:30
kick down and come and run, run, run. Yeah. You're
1:00:32
not gonna. I'm
1:00:37
gonna make a point. You guys are not knock-less.
1:00:41
I have a grand night's sleep. So
1:00:44
Fida comes out, I'm holding the thing.
1:00:46
I'm like asleep, sliding down a pole,
1:00:49
standing on top of Rowan, also sliding down
1:00:51
a pole. My sunglasses don't turn around, go
1:00:54
for it. Grumpy hog. Grumpy
1:00:56
hog. Grumpy hog. Grumpy hog. Grumpy hog. We were.
1:00:58
We were. I need more wine. No,
1:01:02
we're having an apple off. Rowan. Rowan.
1:01:06
So it's true. It's true. A very old
1:01:08
version, a bit differently different to the one we found.
1:01:11
Now, if we can corroborate.
1:01:14
Corroborate? Yes. Did you guys keep the other
1:01:17
disc? Did you give it? You did. Yeah,
1:01:19
I didn't think you gave it to the
1:01:21
five points. You showed it to. Oh yeah?
1:01:23
We wouldn't have. Okay. Yeah, look.
1:01:27
I've got the other one. Okay, this is either true
1:01:31
and these two specific lamps that we've
1:01:34
investigated cause negative
1:01:36
energy. Okay. Or every
1:01:39
single lamp has it and
1:01:42
we need a third control. I
1:01:45
mean, there's another lamp just down the street.
1:01:47
Unless. The. The
1:01:49
bar. You could pick a random one like anywhere
1:01:51
else. We don't know the full effects of these
1:01:53
lamps. Just. Enraging or
1:01:56
negative emotions. It just seems
1:01:58
suspicious to me. Both this
1:02:01
and the other one involved some
1:02:04
form of possession and
1:02:06
negative energy. But do you recall
1:02:08
if the bathhouse also had these
1:02:10
lanterns? You
1:02:12
could go by, have a quick look. Because
1:02:16
if that was manipulating the
1:02:18
spirits there as well, that's
1:02:20
another effect the lanterns could have. It's worth
1:02:22
a check, I suppose. But I mean, we
1:02:25
can't go dismantling lanterns. No,
1:02:28
there would be. No, it's only because this one's broken
1:02:30
that really nobody cares that you're like pulling it apart. But
1:02:32
you do have a feeling that if you were to
1:02:34
do this like on the big main streets, the
1:02:37
guards would probably be like, what the hell
1:02:40
are you doing? No, get down. Like, technically
1:02:42
that's city property. Technically
1:02:44
guild property, but the city is, you
1:02:47
know, supports it. I'm gonna go to a
1:02:49
latte fun. Please.
1:02:51
Get us a couple of coffees. Yes, I would
1:02:53
love one. Thank you. Also speak to Maeve. Okay.
1:02:56
And ask her if she knows anyone that's
1:03:00
lived here for the last four years and knows how
1:03:02
long this has been broken for. Yeah. Yeah.
1:03:07
If you want to skip past all that, that's fine. Yeah, we
1:03:09
can do that. Like, unless anybody else has got something. You mentioned
1:03:11
that you're going to the cafe. You'll hear, give
1:03:14
me cake. I'm
1:03:16
gonna get many cakes. Many cakes. Because
1:03:19
of last night. Yeah, sure. You
1:03:21
make your way down the street, not
1:03:23
far to a latte fun. You see
1:03:25
Maeve, sort of in there bright and
1:03:27
early. Oh,
1:03:30
hello there, Rowan. It's lovely to see you again.
1:03:33
Welcome. Morning. Um, oh, you've been, you've all, it's
1:03:35
only been a day and you've been in here,
1:03:37
what, three times already? Somebody likes their coffee. I
1:03:39
do. We also love our cake. Oh, well, we
1:03:41
can do a big package of that. No problem.
1:03:43
You'll have to pay this time. Is that all
1:03:45
right? Oh, absolutely. No problem. We can put
1:03:47
a couple of coffees and some cakes together. Not
1:03:49
a problem. Lovely. How much? Did you stay in
1:03:52
the inn? Yes, and it
1:03:54
was a terrible idea. Well, I could have
1:03:56
told you that. It's haunted. It's got that
1:03:58
ghost. The ghost attacked. And it's
1:04:01
okay. But you stayed the night anyway. You stayed the
1:04:03
night. Well, you're a brave soul, aren't you? I think
1:04:05
we're onto something. And I think you can
1:04:07
get to the bottom of this and let
1:04:10
that poor spirit lay to
1:04:12
rest. Well, that would be wonderful. I know,
1:04:14
but it's going to take some time. Now, how
1:04:17
long have you had a latte fun here?
1:04:20
Ooh, I mean, I've been here
1:04:22
about two years or so. Right,
1:04:25
do you know anyone that comes in
1:04:27
here that's been a local
1:04:29
for a long time? Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
1:04:32
There's Hush. He comes in most mornings. In
1:04:34
fact, you saw him yesterday, the old fella.
1:04:36
Right. Yeah, he lives and
1:04:38
she points. And she points, there's like,
1:04:40
down more towards the gate. There's
1:04:42
like a little house wedged between these
1:04:44
two tall kind of townhouses. And there's
1:04:47
like this older looking building that's
1:04:49
just like wedged between them. And
1:04:52
it's like a cobblers. It's like a little cobbler shop
1:04:54
with like a little bedroom, like second floor. And
1:04:56
she's just like, yeah, it's just, you know,
1:04:59
Hush is a shop just down there.
1:05:01
He lives there just down there. But he normally comes
1:05:03
in. If you give it a few minutes, he'll probably
1:05:06
come by. I'll wait right here for my cakes and
1:05:08
coffee. Yeah, it'll take me a minute to get those
1:05:10
all sorted for you anyway. You've come
1:05:12
in quite early. So the cakes, I just need to go
1:05:14
and finish up. But if you don't mind waiting, I'll fill
1:05:16
them all out. We'll just round the corner anyway if you
1:05:18
want to. Do you want me to bring them over or?
1:05:20
No, no, I'll come back. All right, no, okay. You
1:05:23
wait a little bit. And sure enough, maybe within
1:05:25
sort of like 20 minutes, this
1:05:29
old kind of flat
1:05:31
cap wearing, bristly,
1:05:34
big mutton chops down his side. He looks
1:05:36
like maybe he's got like a little bit
1:05:39
of dwarven blood in him, but he's not
1:05:41
a full dwarf. He doesn't have the earth
1:05:43
skin, but he's definitely short and quite well
1:05:45
built. Very wiry. He looks a
1:05:47
bit like Andre from Dark Souls. He's kind of got
1:05:50
like a big chunk of white hair on his flat
1:05:52
cap, but he's very muscular. And he kind of comes,
1:05:54
he's wearing like a pair of leather overalls and a
1:05:56
white. You're in,
1:05:58
man! May you
1:06:01
please? Sayin' that.
1:06:03
Woah! Hello there, big
1:06:05
man, big boy! Could
1:06:10
I? Come
1:06:12
talk wherever you're from, I say.
1:06:15
Good morning, Hush. I
1:06:17
have your usual right. You know, you know
1:06:20
my name? Yes. I've been speaking to Maeve.
1:06:23
Oh, you've been talkin'... Oh, alright. I have your
1:06:25
usual for you. I've paid for it for you.
1:06:29
Even better son! There's wonderful, free,
1:06:31
free, free black coffee. I'll take
1:06:33
it any day you are. Do
1:06:35
you mind? I'm open to your
1:06:37
time. For a free coffee, you
1:06:39
can have a bowl at a moment, you can have
1:06:41
a minute. I
1:06:44
feel like a minute, it's less than a moment. I
1:06:47
have a question for you. You know
1:06:49
the spooky tavern. Oh, sure do! Seen
1:06:53
the scarred lady myself with me good
1:06:55
eye. We've seen one of his eyes
1:06:57
is wooden. Is
1:07:00
that the good one? No! This
1:07:02
one is full of cat racks. We've
1:07:05
seen her too. Oh, scary,
1:07:07
eh? Now, do
1:07:09
you know if the light that's
1:07:12
outside the lamp light is light? Eh?
1:07:15
Did the scarred lady destroy that? Or
1:07:18
was it destroyed before the enticing
1:07:20
devil went under? Do you remember
1:07:22
that area being in darkness? I mean, I
1:07:24
remember lots of things. Hush
1:07:27
has got a... my mind's like
1:07:29
a fortress, you see. But
1:07:31
I've got a route through it. You go
1:07:34
through all the rooms and the chests
1:07:36
and the things and the... Well, you see
1:07:38
now, I remember. It's
1:07:40
funny you mention it. It's been broken twice. Twice?
1:07:44
Yeah! You see, back when that K-Von fella
1:07:46
he bought, the enticing devil, he gave me
1:07:48
that awful name. Terrible decision. Stupid idea. I
1:07:50
don't know why he thought it was any
1:07:52
good idea. But
1:07:55
he bought the place and then, you
1:07:57
know, the light broke. Not
1:07:59
long. after he bought the
1:08:01
place and I remember him complaining that
1:08:03
he paid the lamplighters guild he gave
1:08:05
him some money and said he wanted
1:08:07
him to fix it and to make
1:08:09
it better because he wanted to have
1:08:11
a light outside his property that was
1:08:13
newer and fancier. And
1:08:16
then the light broke
1:08:18
again because when the scarred lady
1:08:20
was around she can we think that
1:08:23
she broke it you know she if you. She
1:08:26
breaks windows as well. Exactly we said all the
1:08:28
windows break you know you hear them I remember
1:08:30
you could hear them in the night and
1:08:33
shatter in the glass and howling and
1:08:35
screaming and all that business. That
1:08:38
has been very enlightening. Well. Part
1:08:41
of the pun. Oh. A light
1:08:43
pun. That's
1:08:45
very good great boy. Very good.
1:08:48
Well I hope I hope that's been useful
1:08:50
to you. I
1:08:52
hope that's been useful to you. Very useful. You're
1:08:55
so tall Ma you can't even hear me up there
1:08:57
can you. It's difficult. You're like they're on the top
1:08:59
of the mountain. True. Oh. Is
1:09:02
that a howl. Yeah. Okay.
1:09:05
Raise my wall. Lovely to meet you Hush. Yeah lovely
1:09:07
to meet you too. Thanks for the coffee big boy.
1:09:11
You're welcome. He
1:09:14
sips it like this he goes. He
1:09:17
doesn't drink it fully he has to like sip it as he
1:09:19
goes. I'm fine I'm fine as hell. Yeah. Oh
1:09:22
good. I gave my love to Maeve. She's
1:09:24
right there. Love you Maeve.
1:09:26
She was in my bad
1:09:28
eyes. It's like cold. That's his name.
1:09:31
Hey yeah. She was
1:09:33
in the perfect of bad eyes. Man she
1:09:35
really brushed past the raised by wolves part.
1:09:38
Not to it. Unravel
1:09:41
this pun. I now have to add Hush. The cobbler. He's
1:09:43
the rooftop assailant. Maybe he could be anyone. Bring
1:09:45
me anyone. I relayed
1:09:48
this information back to whoever wishes
1:09:50
to hear it with coffees and cake. Yep.
1:10:01
It was fixed after
1:10:04
being broken and enhanced.
1:10:07
And soon after the
1:10:10
terror unfolded, maybe
1:10:12
that was when this device was placed
1:10:14
inside it after it was repaired the
1:10:16
first time. In the...
1:10:19
I've got the old and new one, right? Yep.
1:10:23
Can I be examining that?
1:10:26
I don't know what
1:10:28
the runes or what necessarily this thing does,
1:10:31
right? But is there... I mean, these guys
1:10:33
were all told quite specifically by Blackwing what
1:10:35
it does. What it does, but I mean,
1:10:37
like, I want to almost
1:10:40
try to get an understanding of what
1:10:42
the old version was, compared to what the
1:10:44
new version is. Sure, sure, sure, sure. To
1:10:46
try and understand what the... I guess the
1:10:48
process, the understanding of the process.
1:10:51
What's the different thing you're talking about? Watch
1:10:54
this drive. You have no faith? I
1:10:57
have no faith. I'm afraid not. You're
1:10:59
faithless. Has my Arcana taken a hit?
1:11:01
It has not. Fine. Kind of, finally.
1:11:05
Finally! I
1:11:07
mean, this would be quite a high DC to get loads
1:11:09
of information. I'll give you... Yeah,
1:11:12
so what's your question exactly? I want
1:11:14
to... I
1:11:17
guess I want to try and understand what is
1:11:19
wrong with this one that they had to make
1:11:21
this other one, the newer one. What
1:11:24
did they... What's improved? What's improved?
1:11:26
Why is this better? Yeah,
1:11:28
so I think that from
1:11:30
your rudimentary examination, you
1:11:33
think that... Because you remember Blackwing
1:11:35
telling you something about the newer one you found
1:11:38
that it was faulty or it had something wrong
1:11:40
with it. Looking at
1:11:42
this one, you think
1:11:44
that there was a similar problem,
1:11:46
right? That this older version was
1:11:48
almost... It was too
1:11:51
highly tuned. Its effects were too strong.
1:11:54
And it looks like in the newer one, what they tried
1:11:56
to do is make it more subtle
1:11:59
and... and soften it, but
1:12:01
obviously the one you have was malfunctioning, like
1:12:03
it broke. But you have the feeling that
1:12:05
the improvement they tried to make was to
1:12:08
make it less intense.
1:12:10
Okay. It also had
1:12:12
a bit of a bigger range as well, the old
1:12:14
one. Okay. Like
1:12:17
they've dampened it a little bit. Right,
1:12:19
okay. With
1:12:22
that role and that knowledge, because
1:12:25
we do have to end a little bit early today, that
1:12:28
is where we are going to
1:12:30
end today's session. Okay. Well,
1:12:32
I mean, the landlakers again, Shakespeare. Darn
1:12:37
you. It seems somewhat connected to
1:12:39
it. We're
1:12:41
going to bring down that guild. Yeah. I'm
1:12:44
shutting down. At least the ones who might be involved in whatever plot this
1:12:46
is. All of them. Burn them all down. Maybe
1:12:48
it is all of them. It's all of them. They're
1:12:50
rotten to the core. Sure. Huh?
1:12:54
It's set last week. It's set this week. Burn the place to
1:12:56
the ground. We're not going to burn our place to the ground.
1:12:58
No, we'll leave it one standing. Everything. One
1:13:00
building around the back and rest. Yeah. The back and
1:13:02
rest. Yeah. The
1:13:04
back and rest. Promise. On
1:13:06
that note, thank you very much everybody. That is going
1:13:09
