1:01

with absolute fact: Every

1:31

And welcome back to Old Beta

1:33

The Dragon Empire within the In

1:35

formerly called the Enticing Devil our

1:38

heroes set out the materials needed

1:40

for a ritual to Clinton's Cynthia's

1:42

and rohan of the curse of

1:44

harrowing a powerful net chromatic inflicted

1:46

upon them in the battle against

1:48

the ins ghostly resident I Rio

1:50

with the help of Sister Inquisitor

1:53

Melody and her twin sister Benedict

1:55

to the ritual was begin and

1:57

seemed to go well of first.

2:00

Meanwhile, in the planar realm of

2:02

the Greylands, a world of undeath,

2:04

Sister Ophelia dellarosa of the House

2:06

of Blood, envoy to the theocracy

2:08

of Osias, completed her pilgrimage and

2:10

arrived at an ancient temple to

2:12

the grave father in the mountains.

2:15

Seeking to earn another chance at love,

2:17

Ophelia was confented with a test about

2:19

the weight of her soul, as well

2:22

as meeting her patron, Cantes Urimin Orsa.

2:24

Impressed at her fortitude and drive

2:26

to live and survive, the Greyfather

2:29

granted Ophelia's request and returned

2:31

her to life, but in doing so,

2:33

a connection between the material plane and

2:35

the Greylands was created. In

2:38

the inn, as the malignant energy

2:40

of the curse was removed from

2:42

Rowan and Xanthius, it suddenly transformed,

2:44

infused with necrotic energy into a

2:46

pair of Harrogaists that then attacked

2:48

the party. Modern shades

2:50

and spirits from nearby led Rowan to

2:53

discover that Ophelia had returned to life

2:55

during the battle. As

2:57

the Harrogaists were defeated, systemality

2:59

collapses from her illness and is

3:01

rushed away by Benedicta, who is

3:03

disturbed by Ophelia's return, leaving the

3:05

party to deal with the strange

3:08

and miraculous return. And

3:10

that is where we pick things

3:12

back up this week, with

3:14

I believe Ophelia literally

3:17

walking into the inn. It

3:25

is still early in the morning, I

3:27

believe, about

3:29

midday I believe. The

3:32

sun is streaming in, it

3:34

is slightly overcast, but

3:37

where the clouds are sort of coming and

3:39

going, Sun is kind of streaming in through

3:42

the broken windows of the enticing

3:44

devil into that main room. Some

3:46

of it has been damaged, there's chairs and things that

3:49

have been broken and thrown away during

3:51

the battle, and standing in

3:53

the doorway, visible to everybody but Daisy

3:56

I believe, who was upstairs on the

3:58

balcony. who

4:01

has not yet come down but you

4:03

see the return from Ophelia. Do

4:05

you want to remind us Rhiannon because there

4:07

has been a while that there

4:09

were some physical changes to Ophelia isn't there like

4:11

slightly so do you want to just remind everybody

4:14

what they kind of see? Yes so

4:16

Ophelia now currently looks quite gaunt,

4:18

her cheeks are more sunken in,

4:20

her eyes socket so slightly more

4:22

pronounced. She has scars on her

4:24

body from the previous battle that

4:27

she was downed from that haven't

4:29

quite healed and the

4:31

tips of her fingers up to her wrist

4:33

are stained almost like this blood red hue

4:35

and then she has black

4:37

staining from the smoke around her mouth as

4:39

well and like out of her wounds this

4:41

like yes it's an ichor black staining.

4:45

Yeah just yeah staining her

4:47

skin. The other thing

4:49

that the more observant among you so

4:51

I imagine maybe more gruff would

4:53

notice but

4:56

Ophelia is also carrying a weapon that

4:58

you've not seen her use before a

5:01

very finely made rapier

5:04

made of this kind of polished silvery

5:06

metal but in laid with these red

5:09

gemstones this kind of twisted basket hilt

5:12

is sort of still probably still clutched in a hand

5:14

right you just walked in from from carrying

5:16

it so you don't have a scabbard or

5:18

anything for it yet so just still clutched

5:21

in one hand yeah is what you guys

5:23

all see. Rose

5:26

is gonna be pointing. Is

5:31

it really you? It is, it is

5:33

me. It fills me

5:35

with joy to see all of

5:37

you. Hello. Is this some sort of side

5:40

effect of this ritual we did? I have

5:43

been seeing some strange things. Me too.

5:45

Are you actually can ever, like grass

5:47

daisy? I'm upstairs

5:49

I'm gonna walk downstairs see

5:52

Ophelia and just go nope

5:56

and I'm gonna walk out the front door. Haunted

5:59

In Haunted in. In the end

6:01

of there's something on their own. just gonna will

6:03

have it or. Might watch out

6:05

onto the. Ah

6:07

good. As a sunny street you can

6:10

see that the commotion in the enticing

6:12

devil bases as a sort of to

6:14

roll my eyes but also because this

6:17

place has been like on the site

6:19

of hauntings. A lot of people have

6:21

sort of. Trying to pretend

6:23

that they haven't heard noises and seen things

6:25

are most of it was contained within but

6:27

the some spirits did so ugly to sort

6:29

through the walls and things like that certain

6:31

for the definitely like to and like there's

6:34

been sounds of babbel and magic mean used

6:36

on but people seem to sort of the

6:38

like yep yep that's the creepy on today

6:40

and yup depth the just ignore it as

6:42

they say they're running out during you know

6:44

court order to have to have no presents

6:46

and sitting there for me a few I

6:48

expense of raised in your direction and in

6:50

philly signs and walking very clear as is

6:52

probably. A little bit about why maybe some

6:54

of the most pious members over you must

6:57

have been seems that most the pious people

6:59

would live in his areas of the the

7:01

association with the in or but there's definitely

7:03

like a few people just so seats in

7:05

their head and muttering like prayers on the

7:07

they're under their breath arm and pretending that

7:10

yeah whatever is happening by on not involved

7:12

in any way and run off of yeah

7:14

what about gruff and yet growth response to

7:16

abyss of a sudden appearance. And

7:18

grocers actually? Known

7:21

post about it because he had

7:23

to fight. Fear that or maybe

7:25

this misunderstanding this season dead. So

7:27

she can just come back to his

7:29

Hanalei and oh it of hey. I'm.

7:35

Sister. Athena could see that when he

7:37

see. The.

7:41

Blood doesn't help. My

7:43

voice and all my name is gonna.

7:47

Class. From to

7:49

be more than some of this is. The.

7:52

Best is it out. That. It can

7:54

help but I know is that

7:57

was. the u w my belt the i mean

7:59

you you felt And you could feel that

8:01

strength like as if you had drunk that blood I

8:03

think that you wouldn't I don't think you had until

8:05

This point of really wouldn't have known it was gruff

8:07

blood maybe but with gruff asking you that like it

8:09

would certainly imply that It was maybe gruff who provided

8:12

it um, that was you That

8:15

was you gave me the gift of strength It's

8:17

all I thought to do. I didn't know what

8:19

else to do. I think it would just give

8:21

gruff a big hug Oh, okay. This is happening.

8:23

Oh, okay. So much Awkward

8:25

dad power you came to me in my time.

8:28

I was in so much need I was I Was

8:31

in the waste of the gray lands. I was lost

8:33

but I don't know how long weeks

8:36

days months I don't know, but I felt

8:38

your strength and it helped carry me

8:41

home Thank you Big

8:46

hug as well. Oh, okay. There you go big

8:48

boy. It's so good to see you up here

8:51

You look towards the window you just see Daisy's little

8:53

face like poking in I

8:56

promise I promise You're

9:00

dead she's alive Promise

9:04

she's alive Brother

9:07

Hugging her quite spiky. Oh,

9:10

there's a couple of things One

9:13

affiliate you also remember that there was I don't

9:15

think you end up using it unfortunately But you

9:17

are also familiar of that like almost music and

9:19

that vibration and you would probably recognize that as

9:21

Rowan's music as well like as you were as

9:23

you were doing it, but also The

9:27

gruff of who is like the first to be

9:29

hugs in Rowan now that you're hugging Ophelia There

9:31

is a kind of coldness that wasn't there. It's

9:33

almost not from Ophelia It's not that her body

9:36

doesn't have heat but it's like a

9:38

coldness is clinging to her Like

9:41

a you know, like somebody who's just walking out of the

9:43

cold for example It's something that you've not felt for a

9:45

long time There's there's a

9:47

sort of cold in the air around Ophelia

9:50

There's slowly beginning to warm up but

9:52

having just recently whatever necrotic energy was

9:54

there is still lingering somewhat a hand

9:58

from the hug mound extends

10:01

out and points at Xanthius and

10:03

then curls and beckons. Okay.

10:07

For you we will get in here. I

10:09

don't fully understand what's happening. Of course, I'm

10:11

happy to see you. I just, I'm trying

10:13

to understand how. Yes,

10:16

tell us everything. Okay, I

10:18

was... Or I'll get a seat. Okay, I...

10:21

I can't play truth. Well, I

10:23

was granted a great gift. I was...

10:25

I saw the Greylands and I met

10:28

the Greyfather again. He's very dashing.

10:30

He's wonderful and very

10:32

forgiving. And he sent me on

10:34

a mission to survive the

10:36

Greylands, to reach his temple.

10:38

But I had to cross an

10:41

endless, endless desert

10:44

almost of nothing. There

10:46

was just nothing. But I

10:49

was hungry and there were these

10:51

terrible vultures and there

10:54

were skeletons and there were these

10:56

monsters that were like thugs but not

10:58

quite thugs. And then there was a

11:00

merchant who was very lovely and very nice,

11:02

very confusing but very nice. And he had

11:04

this man in a cage which

11:06

was... I mean, I sent him

11:09

on his way. He was a near-du-well so he

11:11

went and, you know, he deserved his punishment. He

11:13

was guilty of whatever.

11:16

And... Something. Something.

11:18

Yeah. And I

11:20

did riff-raff. I don't try to forward the riff-raff. And

11:24

then I reached the temple after...

11:26

I don't know how long I was

11:28

gone. How long was I gone? A

11:30

couple of days. A couple of days? A

11:32

couple of days? Yeah, it's been

11:35

just barely about two days at this point.

11:37

And Ophelia, yeah, it did not feel like

11:39

two days. It felt like weeks for you.

11:44

Felt forever. It

11:46

felt like an eternity that was never going

11:48

to end. But I persevered. I heard Rowan's

11:51

wonderful music and gruff strength. And

11:54

it guided me to my purpose, to

11:56

the temple. And I... I... I

12:00

made it back. I I

12:02

small loyalty to the great. For the, I've

12:04

made promises and I've made it back and

12:06

I have this and I show you the

12:08

veracity. A bloody as.

12:11

I was gifted this by my my

13:33

sweets world. So early when

13:35

we were breathing we were

13:37

my billie saddened by what

13:39

has happened here and now

13:41

you're i can. Just.

13:45

Say as I. Can

13:47

this is okay I saucer my

13:50

comeback. oh nice to think his

13:52

urine test site and or not.

13:55

And. Dad's. I'm

13:57

I'm that now. I. Came back

13:59

of. I came back. Arceus

14:02

is a very strange place. We're still learning

14:05

a lot about... We're still traveling today. We're

14:08

still traveling today. I know, I wasn't undead before. Oh.

14:13

Am I undead now? I'll have to ask. I might

14:15

have to ask somebody. The

14:17

fact that you... I don't feel undead. You came back with

14:19

this treasure of this

14:21

weapon. Mm. Is testament that...

14:25

Not that I'm saying your journey in stories was just

14:27

a dream. I loved it. I

14:29

loved dying. But to

14:32

have physical evidence suggests

14:34

that you did go somewhere.

14:37

Yes. And you fought to get back. I

14:39

did. I had unfinished work. So

14:41

the Grave Fathers... Always

14:44

has been real. Definitely. And

14:47

I've always believed. The

14:49

Grave Father is your god, right? Yes, he

14:51

is. And just to clarify, because

14:53

I know some people aren't in the audience,

14:55

the Grave Father. Grave Father.

14:58

Grave Father. Grave Lands. Yes.

15:01

I wanted to make it this. It's

15:03

my voice, I think, throws people off.

15:05

Grave Lands. Grave. Grave.

15:09

Bye, Grog. Bye,

15:12

Grog Lands. People thought Hesper.

15:15

My eyes. Why I'm on? I

15:17

want my eyes. First of all,

15:19

my eyes have complained. The Smork

15:21

demons. There is such a

15:24

small percentage of people who understand what we're

15:26

rolling about. I didn't see it. And

15:28

I'm sick. And I'm like, I'm Grog. No, so no

15:30

one knows. There you go. Iconic

15:32

moment in TV history. Grave

15:35

Father. Grave Father.

15:39

I don't think he is very great. Sounds great

15:41

to me. He's got us for the feeling of it. So

15:45

you've met your god. Yes. Twice,

15:47

though. This

15:52

is blowing Gross mind. He

15:54

is having a full on theological crisis

15:56

right now. How?

16:00

How. You. Can't just

16:03

go meet the whistle on the heat the

16:05

he presented. Himself to me I am.

16:07

I was just wondering the gray lands

16:09

and. He. Seems

16:11

to me Begin gave me my mission. Or.

16:14

Are I'm for growth because you are quite religious

16:17

should win grown up to snuff. Keep in mind

16:19

but in the church of Silence and me and

16:21

tried to on campus. You. Want tool that

16:23

the grave father and the plane. A really

16:25

great father is considered a plane or being.

16:27

It's not. They don't consider him a God

16:29

Damn right? They did. The Church. The Signs

16:32

does not consider the great to be a

16:34

god in the same way that the Cylons

16:36

All that. he would basically treat the great

16:38

Father as if they were like an art

16:40

devil For and arts fail. Something like that

16:42

says anything. A

16:44

few coins like in a knicks that

16:46

way. kind of proof that to me

16:49

because you could me a plane are

16:51

being. Made

16:53

On! Yeah, But. Solely how that

16:55

shows. the side preaches it of whether that's true

16:57

that's the this is like the only average and

16:59

is saying right with in front of my sorry

17:02

ministry. Like clearly to Ophelia the great Father is

17:04

a god and had the goblin power to bring

17:06

them back but for graft just a D V

17:08

that contacts Yeah well and like that has been

17:11

teaching is that the these plane or powers that

17:13

not gods that powerful but the not gone. Nice.

17:18

Up real nice system as cynical. As

17:21

that make. Up.

17:25

Artist not missile that that

17:27

that largest muttonchops? That that?

17:29

That's all I see. Crazy

17:31

because. He

17:34

said sick. To

17:36

death has. None

17:43

of this happen. Know. That

17:47

we should def into a battle royale. Devo.

Awwww I'm getting closer! Wow!

20:08

Can I have my hand, you bet? Yes

20:10

you can, sorry. For what? Oh

20:13

looking like that. Oh okay. Well

20:16

I mean we could have left you in the ground

20:18

for a couple of minutes. Oh it would have meant

20:20

I would have been in the Greylands for longer. But

20:23

it's fine, I'll work on it. We'll

20:26

get there. Don't

20:29

worry. Your customs are very

20:31

strange and I'm a little scared. Don't try

20:33

to be scared. Might have weaved a little

20:35

bit. Oh I'm terribly sorry. Yeah we didn't

20:37

really know what to do. I

20:40

mean okay so you fell in battle.

20:42

Yes. Everyone

20:44

was distraught. Yes.

20:47

Deeply saddened of course. Now

20:49

you're here, don't really know how to feel. A

20:51

little bit angry frankly. Okay. But

20:54

it's okay, you're back. That's good, everyone's happy. But

20:57

also made us go through a lot of

20:59

different emotions and now you're here which is good. But

21:01

I'm still kind of angry about it. But

21:04

now you're here which is good and I'm happy about that. Thank you

21:06

for having a bit of an emotional breakdown. Are

21:09

you angry about... Let it all

21:11

out. Ophelia? Because I'm angry at

21:13

the lamp thing still. I'm pointing

21:15

fingers in every direction. Word

21:18

that I had more hands. To point

21:20

more fingers. Why are you angry at me? To point back

21:22

at it. I don't know. We

21:25

also had a conversation. I was going to

21:27

say as well, you've not re-gloved the hand,

21:29

have you? No. Like

21:31

that's how you open. Oh I see. Oh

21:33

it's looking bigger. Do you know that? There's

21:36

more of it. Oh

21:38

this. Yeah, okay. I have crown steel

21:40

on my chest by the way. I

21:43

look out the windows, see if there's anyone. It

21:45

echoes a little bit. There's no

21:47

windows or they're all broken. I

21:50

didn't hear you say that because I fell asleep.

21:53

You'd better think during the story I suppose. You would

21:55

have heard any relevant bits. Any bits that you would...

21:57

Okay, because you weren't that crazy. You

22:00

I did much as you wanted to

22:02

hear what did you came down. He

22:04

was not best pleased that it's as

22:06

as an envoy from Lcs had fallen

22:08

his great city thunder standard that stood

22:10

up some emotions across the board. I'm

22:13

angry the puddles of really happy and

22:15

then we came back. We tried to

22:17

cure ourselves that the curse all the

22:19

time houses go with right. About

22:22

that have a furious a minute

22:24

segments the are we were fighting

22:26

for lack of manners. I didn't

22:28

know what things worse. Than and the

22:30

same sisters malady in Benedict said they were.

22:32

Forming I'd ever see. and

22:35

I see anti terrorists. Ongoing.

22:37

Life long term

22:39

Us: Yes, Yes,

22:41

I understand. It's

22:43

have not been I'm not yes but you've

22:46

also been through about you do It only

22:48

took quite big and the new went through

22:50

the great lens and for the way back.

22:52

So we've all been through a lot I

22:54

know, I just. Okay,

22:57

Compartmentalizes at one of the time. that stuff

22:59

in the beginning. We.

23:03

Didn't know what to do with your point. Yes,

23:05

And so I did that. Yes, well, I didn't. I

23:08

didn't leave instructions and be I

23:10

didn't realize I was going to

23:12

die. Is supplied.

23:14

I apologize. I. I'm

23:18

not angry into politics. For dying.

23:20

They should be apologizing for not taking the

23:22

lamp things seriously because that was they want

23:24

to kill all of us. By the way,

23:26

it's not just he's a sense one down

23:28

and they're getting trained at. The rest of

23:31

us citizen over. Oh,

23:33

incidentally, the Duke A did kind of

23:35

threatened to. Practice. And

23:37

dumped in the city is insane Lamplighters

23:40

can the thea highest thought out on

23:42

line him that he didn't have the

23:44

authority to do it his own cities.

23:47

With were not likely to. theory

23:50

of interest is. Governed by the

23:52

singles his so investigation is

23:54

ongoing that I think. The

23:58

cats out of the panic hampered by. Cap don't

24:00

like being in bags. No. I

24:03

wouldn't ever put you in a bag. Don't

24:05

ever put me in a bag. I don't think I'd

24:07

fit you in a bag. I won't like it. You're

24:09

too big. No cap likes it. You won't do it.

24:11

What if it's so big a bag if you look

24:13

at me? No. I wouldn't put the bag. What

24:16

if it's like a sleeping bag and it's so nice

24:18

and cozy you can have a nap. A

24:20

bedroll. I can't nap if you will. I'll

24:22

take it under consideration. Okay. I

24:26

want it canonically imprinted that if you

24:28

ever try to put Gruff in a

24:30

bag of holding you have to

24:32

make saving throws to fight them off. You're

24:34

like, right? You're

24:36

all claws. Pinned.

24:41

But I will also grant that to you if an enemy

24:43

tries to put you in a bag. I will grant you

24:45

a favour billy. Anyway.

24:49

Yes, okay. Next

24:51

move. So that's one. So landlighters, dragon.

24:54

That's the big one. There's also

24:57

some conspiracies going on. Oh, delicious.

24:59

Okay. Very recently, Lady

25:02

Malady. Systemality.

25:04

Systemality suggested that we

25:07

know that people that have gone missing from

25:09

the landlighter skills that are potentially to

25:11

do with the lamps being corrupted may

25:15

have used the Catacombs network in the

25:17

church up to the churches and that

25:19

the churches might, more people in the

25:21

churches might be involved in their whereabouts.

25:25

As much as I am loath to say this, it

25:27

was something I was going to bring to your

25:30

attention after the dinner

25:32

party. Because you boyos went and had

25:34

the dinner party and I was up at the cathedral.

25:36

Yes. Oh,

25:39

saints and sirens bless me. I'm about to blaspheme.

25:43

Are you happening? Give

25:46

me strength, Rowan. Barricans

25:49

pressure. You

25:52

got Barricans pressure. You've got minutes. I

25:55

think Sanso Del Cara Might

25:59

be involved. Hakim.

26:03

Bey. When

26:05

I arrived is a cathedral I heard her say

26:07

something and assess. I thought it was just. You.

26:10

Know. Stuff. That to

26:12

sister says as in your own religious

26:14

leader says to inspire the masses but

26:16

the more I think about it anymore

26:18

I think about the fact that what

26:20

he was things in the dinner party

26:23

about ah is is called a been

26:25

involved with the numbers which is guild

26:27

leader and they were going to send

26:29

you on a quest to leave the

26:31

city to find more is so whenever.

26:34

I was also granted oppressed by. Some sort

26:36

of caught a to leave the city

26:39

to look for this golden be celestial

26:41

curse. We believe it was a means to

26:43

get us out of the city and out

26:45

of the way. And then before she realized

26:47

as a cathedral sheath I heard. A.

26:49

Yet. Do. Not

26:51

let yourself get into the same weakness

26:54

you condemn. The. Niceness act where

26:56

the shuttle will not. Say.

27:03

No or voice. Was

27:05

just an acolyte for supper. And.

27:16

Shuttles itself when I was. When. You

27:18

told me the she had a connection

27:20

with The Lamplighter. Guess the. Leader Tobias

27:22

definitely know the name of footnotes Tobias

27:24

later by the by as later. so

27:26

we need to sneak into the two

27:28

of. Her

27:31

abdomen got meme. has been a woman going

27:33

against. A

27:36

perfectly on their have have no

27:38

no Celia they ah army know

27:40

how much control do you have

27:42

a a show says a. Possible.

27:47

This guy's name. completely that. But who

27:49

can you put to a public controlled

27:51

you have over the dead man. the

27:54

ghosts that would spilling and through the

27:56

walls. I can't control the dead. The

27:58

Dead From a young. No, they

28:00

act as their own free will sometimes and

28:03

other times they need you need a higher

28:05

priestess So someone who knows the necromantic spells

28:07

to command the undead I Don't

28:10

have that ability, but you're well versed

28:12

with them. I understand that. Yes, so

28:14

if we went into catacombs You

28:17

would be able to help us then Well,

28:19

I wouldn't be scared of going down. Maybe

28:21

I don't know what kind of catacombs they

28:23

are Like how how do you prepare your

28:25

dead? How you know, what is your ritualistic

28:28

purposes? Really a good

28:30

kind though is what? Well,

28:33

our dead are free to roam and you

28:35

know fulfill any tasks. They weren't able to

28:37

perform in life You're

28:41

dead today, Rome It

28:44

strikes me as well It would very it would probably

28:46

be a case of each of the different houses of

28:48

Osseous would also Handle their dead differently,

28:50

right? Like the the house of bone would handle their

28:52

dead very differently to the house of rot and the

28:55

house of rot would have Blood

28:57

like in the house of blood They probably

28:59

accentuate the bodies and then either use them

29:01

as like with the kind of husks like

29:03

a zombie or they transform them into Vampires

29:05

or similar something similar within the house of

29:07

bone They would get rid of all

29:10

the meat and just bright bright make a skeleton

29:12

great. That's what we want or the house of

29:14

rot They're like no no people the meat we

29:16

want all that on it. Yeah lovely making right

29:19

So they would handle it very differently as well So

29:21

it makes sense that Ophelia would be like yeah, like

29:24

how like it depends entirely on how the dead are

29:26

kept here You know

29:28

if the dead bodies are sealed in stone

29:30

sarcophagi Very hard for them

29:32

to get out on their own and cause trouble if

29:34

they're just if they burn Don't

29:37

have to worry about bodies if you know if bodies

29:39

are burnt here and stuff like that depends entirely so

29:42

That is a very specific thing To

29:45

everybody I suppose Well, it's

29:47

sort of the same year as well cuz in

29:49

ice art or at least in

29:51

my in my village in tomorrow We

29:54

give them to the sea. Oh That's

29:57

wonderful. Well, it's when you

29:59

live In a land of ice, it's a bit

30:01

difficult to dig up the ice. Oh, so

30:03

we give them to the sea. Oh.

30:06

Because it preserves it for long though. Like obviously,

30:08

our body would stay preserved in the ice. What

30:11

if I feel like maybe in these catacombs

30:14

they inter... Well, I feel

30:16

like you probably would be spiritual leaders and

30:19

rich people. I don't imagine normal folk

30:21

would end up in the catacombs or

30:23

the cathedral. Anybody who is

30:25

from the Empire can make a

30:27

history check. Xanthius and

30:30

Daisy, you can have advantage because you are

30:32

basically from Kaldra. Okay. To know

30:34

what. Am I from the Empire? Or religion,

30:36

history or religion I would say. You're

30:38

from the Empire, yeah, you're from the

30:40

Draconic Empire. You can all make an

30:42

intelligent history or religion check. A seven.

30:44

An eight. A ten. Even

30:46

with advantage. Yeah, I got an eight and

30:48

a seven. Nineteen with religion. Nice.

30:52

Three. I rolled with

30:54

your dice bomb dice, Cecilia. Nice. It

30:57

gave me a two. Nice. So

31:00

I think like, yeah, for Rowan you're more

31:02

familiar with, like you grew up in the

31:04

Azar Steppe and even then your own community

31:06

was quite nomadic. They moved around a bit.

31:08

It was probably very different. Iceheart, very, very

31:10

different. Daisy, I like the idea that Daisy

31:12

just does not want to fuck with the

31:14

dead. And it's like, I don't care and

31:16

I want to learn. Never

31:19

been something you're interested in. Whereas Xanthius, maybe you

31:21

witnessed like funerals and things like that in Rust

31:23

End. You know, you've been

31:25

alive long enough that people would have passed away.

31:29

And strange, the fact that systemality mentioned

31:31

catacombs or tunnels, it's

31:33

very uncommon for the dead to be

31:35

interred or buried in culture because it

31:37

is a land of like volcanoes and

31:39

like, you know, fire and red dragons.

31:43

Cremation is the most common form of burial

31:45

for dead bodies is cremation. Only

31:48

those, as Graf said, who are very

31:50

wealthy and can afford things like resurrections

31:52

maybe or can have their bodies preserved

31:54

in some way in

31:56

the in the incidents that maybe one day they could

31:59

be brought back to life. Because there is a

32:01

possibility there are miracles and things that have been known to

32:03

happen But

32:05

cremation is the most common so if there

32:07

are tunnels and catacombs they are probably just

32:09

to store ashes They are probably not to

32:11

actually store bodies. Okay for the most part

32:13

do would I know that these catacombs would

32:16

be in any way accessible?

32:19

Oh most definitely like into the there were

32:21

well there would be probably yeah like a

32:23

passageway from the Cathedral Sometimes

32:26

it's not necessarily open to the public

32:28

normally it's handled by Acolytes

32:30

of st. De Fia or flights of

32:33

the cathedral itself, but there would

32:35

certainly be an access point into them. Yeah, okay

32:37

Yeah, yeah, we can't just walk

32:39

in sometimes you can defense You

32:41

know if there's if there's certain ceremonies being

32:43

held they might close it off other

32:46

days It's open for you to go down there

32:48

and look I do you have the same idea

32:52

What if it feels still dead? I

32:57

think unfortunately that wouldn't

32:59

matter because I Hate

33:02

to say this sister Ophelia. They're

33:04

not also of the house of blood. I Don't

33:07

think the church likes you So

33:09

I don't think they'd be very open to interring

33:11

you into their most holy of sites. Oh,

33:14

I don't know I don't like not being like I Like

33:17

you. Oh, thank you Oh Well,

33:23

it was an idea but you're

33:25

right it's a good idea if one of us

33:33

So when would be a good provided

33:35

we don't go with the one of us dies Churches

33:44

busy quite often nighttime

33:47

is less so Yes,

33:49

our money's a maintain About

33:51

that. Yes. Where is the entrance

33:54

to catacombs? If you

33:56

didn't see it in the main, but then

33:58

you so with bright show kathie Imagine it

34:00

like a big open cathedral. You go in, there's

34:02

the pews, there's the altar. There are doorways that

34:04

lead off to the side. And I think you've

34:07

seen one side of them because you took Teresa

34:09

there when you were recovering her. And the speaker

34:11

of secrets took her into a side and there

34:13

was like a corridor with rooms. You

34:16

didn't see it anywhere in any of those, but it must

34:18

be somewhere. But it's probably not

34:20

in that main central bit of the cathedral.

34:23

It's probably down the back somewhere in

34:25

the restricted areas. I would

34:27

suggest if we are in

34:30

fact dealing with some sort of thing, don't you know

34:32

what I mean? Sunsword Ilkara,

34:35

maybe we infiltrate the catacombs

34:40

during the day when she's busy doing a

34:42

service. She's sunsword, she does- Distracted.

34:44

Yes, well, I was thinking during the

34:47

nighttime service, but during a service- No,

34:49

because she's a sunsword, she does the

34:51

day services. She's, it's

34:53

the- Oh. Secret

34:56

of secrets, who does the evening service? Right, yes,

34:58

okay, yeah, that makes sense. I don't

35:00

think we should sneak into the church at all

35:03

because they're all very big and powerful in

35:06

here. They chased the

35:08

cavern out for naming a

35:10

pub wrong. I don't know

35:12

if we want to make enemies of that

35:16

right now. The whole

35:18

point of these catacombs is

35:21

for people to get away. There's

35:23

got to be another point. It's not

35:26

from the church, the prelent of wrong. We

35:28

go in from the other side. Wherever they're

35:30

escaping to is how we get in.

35:35

Yeah, just don't really want to- True,

35:39

but- Make them very angry

35:41

at us. Because we have a

35:43

lot of people already very angry at us.

35:45

I just don't know how much more I

35:47

can take. We do also have a lot

35:49

of allies. We can talk

35:51

to one of them and see

35:53

if they know a way. I

35:55

didn't come across. I

35:59

had this lovely moment. when you were all

36:01

eating at the lamplighter's

36:03

house. I met Sir

36:05

Creole. Did you? Oh, it was lovely. I

36:07

didn't want to say, because a lot has happened since, and you

36:09

know, some tragedy and stuff like that. But I had

36:11

a lovely couple of hours walking

36:13

around with Sir Creole. I will say. He

36:17

was lovely. His hair is luscious.

36:22

Anyway, he said he would lend us his aid

36:26

if we needed it. Sir Creole has also technically

36:28

been assigned to protect you around the city

36:30

by the Duke. Two

36:33

things. One, and this

36:36

is mainly of interest for Taalman people at

36:38

home, I have canonically decided that Sir Creole

36:40

looks like Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon. Very

36:43

cool. Like the big thick hair

36:46

and the big beard. It's finished. But also,

36:49

I think it's a bit of a surprise that

36:51

we've had a lot of fun with Sir

36:53

Creole. But also, Daisy,

36:58

you hear a voice, you hear Nim, who's

37:00

been quite quiet, like has been quiet while

37:02

the sisters and that were here. Things like

37:04

that. Yeah. And

37:06

you, when you were talking about like

37:09

being afraid of like the church and wanting other

37:11

people to deal with it, you

37:13

would hear Nim say

37:15

to you, he

37:17

has like nicer armor. He has like, he has

37:19

cooler armor than that, but like just the face

37:22

and the beard, I'm like, that's a grill now.

37:24

Yeah. Who

37:26

I've been lusting over? Yeah. Yeah, but

37:29

I know. He's sexy. Yeah, you should watch the

37:31

show. It's good. You

37:33

hear Nim, Daisy say, little

37:35

one, I

37:37

know you are frightened, but

37:40

these, if this

37:42

priestess dabbling

37:45

with demons, if

37:47

this guild has

37:49

the power to call them through to this world,

37:51

they need to be stopped. Justice

37:54

needs to be served here. They

37:57

cannot be allowed to continue this. they

38:00

have already killed one of your friends.

38:05

Okay, yes. And

38:07

I do want to do stuff about this. But

38:10

if there was someone who like, I

38:13

don't know, the Duke was really angry. Could

38:15

we maybe just talk to him and say,

38:17

hey buddy, we've got this thing and we

38:19

wanna go here and have a look at it. You

38:21

have already seen that your world

38:23

is so wrapped up in its

38:26

laws, in its words

38:28

and deeds and oaths. The

38:31

Duke is bound by these laws too,

38:33

but we, you, we

38:36

can put a stop to this. I

38:38

know you are frightened. Okay. I

38:42

know you are scared. Okay,

38:45

so. I am with you. Just if

38:47

this all goes wrong, I am fully

38:49

putting some blame on you here. This is

38:51

just, I have to do that, I'm sorry.

38:54

You are good at being unseen. If

38:58

anyone can do this, you can.

39:05

Okay, we can go to the stupid catacombs. Good.

39:08

I mean, bad because I'm also- I don't want to go to the

39:10

stupid catacombs, there's more deaths. I also don't want to, but

39:13

we have to, right? What

39:15

other choice do we have? Well, I mean, you don't have to, you can

39:17

have plenty of choices. It's

39:19

the best way you can go. But we should find out where

39:21

they are that's not going through the church because I don't

39:23

want to go in there. Because I think

39:25

they'll see us. I don't think it would go well.

39:29

I could maybe. Oh,

39:32

I don't really want to though. It really is a bit

39:34

of a bother. It makes me really itchy all over. Mm-hmm.

39:39

I can turn into a really small creature. Can

39:42

you? Oh! Why

39:44

haven't you seen this all around? What

39:46

kind? What would you turn into?

39:48

A little mouse? Oh my God, a

39:51

kitten. A really small kitten. Is it a

39:53

kitten? Is it a kitten? Is it

39:55

a kitten? We won't put you in a bag. Turn into

39:57

a kitten. Turn into a tiny kitten. Is that what it

39:59

is? I can see. Please turn into a kitten. Come

40:01

on, Gruff. I could turn into a kitten. Oh

40:03

yes! What a good day! You know

40:05

what? All those negative emotions I was feeling. God!

40:07

I feel so much better. It's been Gruff. How

40:10

many times? Now? Can you do

40:12

it now? It just feels really undignified, you know? No. Why?

40:16

It makes me really ashamed by a cow. Oh, is it hurt? Not

40:18

so much. It just makes me really ashamed. I'm

40:20

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

40:22

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

40:25

sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

40:28

Not so much. It just makes me really at

40:30

she. And I always feel really weird, like bit

40:32

of my body is missing, when I turn

40:34

into a little kid. Oh, it just

40:36

becomes so cute and small. I could carry you in my pocket. Don't

40:38

be a kid. It's not gonna be like me. Oh! Oh,

40:41

I'm really sorry. Go! Oh

40:43

yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's true.

40:45

Yeah. I forget that. So

40:48

I could turn into a kitten.

40:52

You could. Yeah, yeah, you could. I

40:54

could get down the door and see if

40:56

I can find the other exit. Oh, that

40:58

would be adorable. Why?

41:01

Why do you

41:03

have your hand up, Daisy? Just

41:05

speak. If

41:08

I have a really bad dick, can I have a bath to get...

41:10

No. I can't get into a little kitten

41:12

for just a little bit. No. It would

41:14

make me feel so much better. No. It's

41:16

degrading. I

41:18

see your face. I see the pouch

41:20

that you're making. Put the lip

41:22

away. Put the pouty lip away. I'm so happy I made

41:24

you dance with

41:26

me. Okay, okay, okay. I think that's a really good plan.

41:28

I think that's a great plan. I think it's the only

41:31

way. I think it's the only way. Go into

41:33

this. That's the only way. It's the only way.

41:35

Wonderful. All in favor? All in favor?

41:38

I... That's four. I

41:40

have two. I have a tail. Do

41:42

we want to get some allies involved as well?

41:45

Yes, probably. I'm not sure. I'm

41:47

not sure. I'm not sure. I'm

41:49

not sure. I'm not sure. Yes,

41:52

probably. Well... Please, that

41:54

means that they all have to see

41:57

a kitten graft, and I kind of just want us to bask

41:59

in the glory of kittens. I don't feel

42:01

like we're gonna get anything done. It's just gonna

42:03

be so distracting. It will, it will. Oh,

42:05

I'm excited. Speaking of distractions, I can believe

42:08

we got to do our Christmas fave. Oh,

42:10

that's all. I just was looking

42:12

at my dice going like, oh, everything. Also,

42:15

I'm saving Kim a brief moment of embarrassment. Hell

42:17

yeah. No saving. Kitchen grass. The more you mention

42:19

it, the more I'll turn into something like a

42:21

badger or something like that. You don't have to

42:23

be kidding me. You can turn into a badger.

42:26

That should be a cat. Little rat. Gross,

42:28

gross little rat. Can you turn

42:31

into a firestone? I can turn into a firestone.

42:33

But Gruff could specifically choose to be a gross

42:35

rat. Yeah. Right, what do we get? D6

42:38

rolls. KD. Oh, oh,

42:40

five. A five to

42:42

the dice for thee. A

42:45

two, a dice for thou.

42:47

Me. But you, me.

42:49

Thou. Me. Thou. No.

42:52

Me. A dice for thee, a

42:55

dice for thou. Yes. Ye. A

42:58

dice for you, me. No, no, no, no, no. A

43:00

dice for thee. That's a no. I

43:03

got a two. A dice for

43:06

me. A one. A

43:08

dice for me. Aw. Come on,

43:10

guys. A dice

43:12

for you. Yay. A dice for

43:14

you. A dice even. Even three and three. Okay.

43:19

You're really studying that dice. I was trying to get it

43:21

to the six. I couldn't find it. For a second there,

43:23

I thought this D6 didn't have a six on it. But

43:25

you were just looking at it. Can you

43:28

imagine if that was the case? You're buying

43:30

chaos down. Okay. Okay,

43:33

well, I think we've locked in our plan. In

43:35

terms of allies, we could get

43:38

Sir Greal to help us, potentially maybe

43:40

possibly. He has been told to be

43:42

nice and to help us and guard us

43:44

and save our lives. We

43:46

would be asking a knight to infiltrate

43:49

the church. For the greater good of...

43:52

True, but I mean... They are devoted to

43:54

the Duke. Yes, but

43:56

bound by the same laws as the

43:58

Duke. True. So

44:01

Greold is a Knight of the Realm

44:03

which means he is specifically sworn to

44:05

Duke Ignarius. That

44:07

can mean different things, it doesn't mean that he,

44:09

I'm not saying he won't do it, I'm just

44:12

saying that is you would all of you, especially

44:14

Gruff, would know the distinction between Knights of the

44:16

Realm who are Knights of Draconic Lords and Ladies,

44:18

you have Holy Knights who are Knights of religious

44:21

order specifically, they are normally attributed to a

44:23

certain Cathedral or Bishop or something like that,

44:25

and then you would have the Knightly Orders

44:28

who are Knights of specific orders

44:30

that have their own missions and things like that. So

44:34

the different types of Knights they do affect their Odes

44:36

and the kind of things that they do a little

44:38

bit differently. Otherwise, and you

44:40

should know this Ophelia, Systemality,

44:44

unfortunately, as a result

44:46

of the ritual, that

44:48

drained quite heavily

44:50

during this ritual. So

44:53

she's out for a couple of days. Although,

44:56

Sister, Benedicta. I

45:01

don't think either of them would be very good at

45:04

helping, one because I don't like them, two

45:06

because I don't think they want to infiltrate

45:09

the church either. No,

45:12

Benedicta thinks I'm a monster. And

45:14

that, Benedicta will also maybe

45:17

potentially hurt. But she can think what

45:19

she wants, I think she's a monster,

45:21

frankly, so. Maybe we don't need

45:23

her help. I

45:25

think we should ask Sir Creole. Maybe

45:28

Sir Creole could guard the entrance that

45:30

we take in remaining upstairs and then

45:32

communicate to us somehow, if

45:35

anyone decides to follow us. Could be that

45:37

Creole knows where the other entrance might be.

45:40

Um, partially I have an idea.

45:42

Okay. The

45:44

masons' guild? Yes. Constructed

45:46

this place. Yeah,

45:49

they might have blueprints. Through

45:51

the catacombs. And

45:55

it's stuffed with the lamplighter's guild. And

45:57

one way in favour. Excuse

46:01

me, Lantheus. Hahaha Carry

46:05

on. You're just respecting your

46:07

elders. Hahaha

46:10

He tried to catch in America, though. Yeah.

46:12

Hahaha. Not my language. I've

46:16

been casting since you were a little lizard. I know. I

46:19

dunno, carry on. Have you hatched out

46:21

since you've been an egg? Since you've been an egg.

46:24

I don't know, do you come from eggs? What

46:26

are you an egg? Eggs, Antheus.

46:29

You tell me, you would not

46:31

be because your father was the

46:33

dragon, right? Eggplant is a kitten

46:36

growl. But if your mother

46:38

was the dragon, I think you would come

46:40

out of the egg. Eggplant! I'm

46:44

not an egg boy. No,

46:46

no, specifically Antheus is not an egg boy. Not an

46:48

egg boy. Not for

46:50

him. Um, sorry, what

46:52

were you going to say? That was just

46:54

one line. That was just

46:56

one line. That was just

46:58

one line. Yeah.

47:02

Oh no. Is

47:04

that my favorite? Memes

47:06

are like, uh, get it back and forth. Egg

47:10

boy. Lots of cool plans, lots of

47:12

cool ideas. Um, maybe

47:15

you and me gruff. Because you're going to

47:18

be the cute little cat that goes through. We

47:20

can just see if the Mason's Coda has properties.

47:22

And if you have a good access point to

47:25

get in without going through the church. Nice, good

47:27

idea. Especially because

47:29

they're pissed off. They might have good

47:32

incentives. With a light knife. Yes,

47:34

exactly. Alright. Sounds

47:37

like a plan. The

47:39

justice will be done. That's okay with you,

47:41

is Antheus. Egg boy.

47:45

Not an egg. Very

47:47

specifically not an egg. Yes, I

47:49

think that's a good plan. Alright, well,

47:52

I'm ready to head out. There's

47:54

no time like the present. I don't

47:56

think we have to have a past run of the kids. Maybe

48:00

we should just double check. Have you done it before? Yes.

48:05

When did you do it? I want to know. It

48:08

will make me happy. No.

48:16

Graf just did that thing. You know when like,

48:19

Dad's kind of just disassociate for a moment? Yeah.

48:22

And thinks of a million things. And then

48:24

it's just like, no. No.

48:30

Okay. Um, so wait. You're going to

48:33

go to the Mesa's Guild to get the blueprints

48:35

potentially? Some information about the

48:37

guys at Coombs, yes. Okay. Great.

48:42

I'm going to tell Ophelia about this. Great.

48:45

Yeah? Then everyone's on the same

48:47

page. Which I think is right. And,

48:52

uh, then I guess we'll meet up. In.

48:56

Let's say we'll take an hour. So

48:59

maybe in 50 minutes, we'll be

49:01

going down to a lot of fun. Yes, and

49:04

get a round of coffee. Maybe some

49:06

croissants. Oh my gosh. Pastries,

49:08

coffee, and a candy. There's

49:15

a platinum. I've

49:20

still got all the platinum. Okay. Yeah. When you say

49:22

a platinum, do you mean what? Because they gave you

49:24

the bar. Yeah. Like so

49:26

that's a hundred dollars. Basically. In

49:28

pastries. Yeah. A hundred gold. It's okay. Keep

49:30

the bar of platinum. I really don't want

49:33

to hold this anymore. So I'm going to-

49:35

Honestly, don't. I can take it. Okay. You

49:37

take it. Oh, thank you. Did you give

49:39

Ophelia the whole 100 or the whole 500?

49:41

Yeah, there you go. 500

49:43

gold of platinum. Wonderful. Thank you. Write it

49:45

down. I had to. Because I have a trust,

49:47

because croissants are not write it down. Something to

49:49

consider. Sure. Ophelia

49:53

has come back to us now.

49:56

At the turn of the- sorry. The

49:58

groups. Together again. Yes,

50:01

and I think it happened in this

50:03

place. She came back to us. So

50:05

maybe the name of this place could

50:08

be something to do with it. Ophelia

50:10

returns, and Ophelia comes back.

50:14

Uh, oh, uh, yes, um... I

50:17

feel like we should name it for Tyria. Tyria's

50:22

turn. Rest.

50:25

Tyria's rest. Tyria's rest. Inhale's rest.

50:27

Inhale's rest. Hm. Think

50:30

about it. We're gonna go get our blueprint. I

50:33

like Ophelia, uh, dampier, uh... I just

50:35

think it's quite sentimental now. We

50:38

lace Tyria's rest. Ophelia is risen. The

50:41

companion's return. Yeast. Yeast,

50:44

yeast, yeast. It rises. YEAST.

50:47

YEAST. YEAST. YEAST.

50:50

YEAST. YEAST. YEAST.

50:53

My brain hurts. My brain hurts. Yep.

50:56

All right. That caused physical pain. Um, do

50:58

you... So, Tom, do you

51:00

want to actually roleplay the chat with Ophelia? I think I can...

51:02

Or do you want to... I can go over. The

51:06

context of Ophelia is 400 years ago. World Smash. Yeah,

51:10

yeah, yeah. Unless there's... I mean, yeah, unless

51:12

you guys want to have an entire, like,

51:14

story, which you would have already heard as Re. But,

51:18

like, if there's any questions you have afterwards, we can

51:20

go straight into that at the end of it. At

51:22

the end of it, but otherwise... How are you?

51:25

Are you okay? Do

51:27

you need anything? Uh... Uh,

51:30

how am I? Um, I'm... Fine

51:35

right now, if anything. I feel great. At

51:37

least, well, now that the cost has gone off, I feel

51:39

really good. Um, but,

51:43

as you said, the hand... Mmm. That's

51:45

worse. Mm-hmm. And that

51:48

started at some point, so I don't

51:50

know what's next. Well,

51:52

how long has it been since I first saw

51:54

that on the road? Well, when you

51:56

first saw that, it's pretty much when I first saw it, but

51:58

that was... Take

52:01

me a moment, I'm bringing up my calendar. Keep

52:05

or take. Well,

52:08

we did that day when we

52:11

stayed up all night so that confused the calendar a little bit.

52:14

I'm trying to remember. We arrived at 9.

52:16

1, 2, 3. That was when you

52:18

fought the gnolls on the road, right? Yes.

52:22

And then we arrived at 9. We've been in S&R. It's

52:24

about 7. It's been about 8 days. It's been

52:26

about 8 days. We've got so much 8 days. And it's

52:28

that far already. Yes. Right. It's,

52:31

what, about here at the moment along the wrist or

52:33

so? Half

52:43

way up the arm. Yeah, but it was

52:45

just that. That's

52:48

concerning how quickly it's spreading. It's

52:51

like me. But

52:55

I don't know how much I can cover up, how

52:57

much worse it's going to get. Yes.

53:00

I mentioned to the others, Blackwing. Might

53:05

be able to go to Blackwing for aid, but

53:10

they almost killed me. Yeah. Just

53:12

identifying it. Well, I think after all of

53:14

this is wrapped up, we need to see

53:16

into this as soon as. I'd

53:19

like to keep you around for as long as possible. I'd

53:22

like to keep you around. Oh, thank you. I

53:24

was so annoyed. Oh. Oh.

53:27

But that's... Zanthias.

53:33

Thank you for telling me. I

53:38

know I thought I saw on the

53:40

road and I've been asking questions. It

53:44

wasn't because I didn't trust you. It's because I

53:47

wanted to know more about you. And

53:50

I wanted to tell you. I was going to...

53:53

Don't tell the others this. I was going to tell you first. I

53:59

knew that you... would

54:01

be on my side. I told you about the hand

54:03

and you kept it silent. I could have

54:05

told you about more and I knew you would have kept it

54:07

silent. And then you went and died.

54:10

I'm sorry for dying. I really,

54:12

I'd, I've

54:14

never fought a demon before. I've

54:17

seen them and I've heard of them but

54:19

I've never actually come close face to face

54:21

with demons and the like and I was

54:25

stupid probably. I was a bit jealous.

54:27

It was, no one knew what we

54:29

were facing up against in that fight.

54:31

We all made mistakes. I made maybe

54:34

more than others. And

54:36

I just got lucky. And

54:38

you got unlucky. Well I was protecting

54:40

you all. I've

54:43

only known you all for a short time but you know

54:45

you have to come precious to me. And

54:48

you to us. So don't go charging

54:50

in. We have your back. Just

54:53

as you have ours. Thank you. With

54:57

that then we'll cut over to the

54:59

team heading towards the

55:02

Stonemasons Guild, AKA

55:07

the Coil of the Empress. It's

55:09

Hulk Journey. The other one is

55:12

asking, can you turn

55:14

into a beetle? Yes. Can you turn

55:16

into a lizard? Yes. Can you turn

55:18

into a lion? Yeah. Bit

55:22

big. Bit big. Not quite yet.

55:24

A Jason cat. I

55:26

don't know. It's only of a

55:28

certain amount of mass at the moment. I'm not very

55:30

good at it. Well

55:33

that means you need to practice a lot. Right.

55:36

Much like being the lute. I'll just do

55:39

it. I can do lots of other stuff. Well

55:41

you could. And no one would stop you

55:44

from not doing it. But just

55:46

think of Daisy's face when you have to tell her.

55:49

You'll never be a kitten again. I'm quite

55:51

immune to that. Alright. I'll

55:53

find a new tactic. In

55:56

a way. Here we are. I think it's fine

55:58

the little pouty lip doesn't work on you. A

56:01

on you're used to that since it I'm

56:04

you see the marvelous stone tower with the

56:06

spiral, the slain spacey. it's way up the

56:08

you can see that couple of the attendance

56:10

for the Imperial, the flame or the worshippers

56:12

of this that the dragon empresa self on

56:15

out the during the front they do in

56:17

the same thing they were before so speaking

56:19

to people that come and go on the

56:21

him the tower itself you can see the

56:23

stonemasons guild at work doing what they do,

56:26

taking work causes are preparing jobs. you can

56:28

see that like other off you can probably

56:30

see hung up on the. Walls of the

56:32

tower that they're all these kind of tapestries

56:34

with schematic. the buildings and things like that

56:36

like you kind of by the architectural plans

56:38

of things like that been laid around. For

56:42

see young ah half laying a man

56:44

who is attending the desk army's got

56:46

little of like a spectacle that little

56:49

medieval spent cool that with wouldn't rims

56:51

and the big fix on of like

56:53

her arms ah i'm a little more

56:55

of what monk style haircuts and he

56:58

says i oh hello can male pill

57:00

was a bit business with a guild.

57:04

I'm in a row by row in a

57:06

similar things You're right. Clean up his little

57:08

awfully man for my room. And.

57:11

Hello to do both. Were

57:13

wondering if the Masons goons

57:15

has. Information or

57:18

documents about the building depression thrust of

57:20

course my of gotta do so yes

57:22

of course in the My, my good

57:25

Sir, My Goodfellas and We Depot or

57:27

now architectural plans it's stonemasons girl is

57:29

have been a very long established part

57:32

of acids rest this ever since that

57:34

even before the Duca, his father who

57:36

who founded the town and was the

57:38

the former lord on. a

57:41

we we have been a big part of it

57:43

we have made the the walls themselves the every

57:45

britain the walls of wreaths of the major building

57:47

even dominance ignoramuses the simpsons the of as part

57:50

of that we have a c do not keep

57:52

schematic school the decal palace here they are kept

57:54

in a secure bowl top of the dukes powder

57:56

those but the rest of the down as we

57:58

have is there some in particular interest to

58:01

you? Are you fans of architecture, or

58:03

are you looking to have something built?

58:06

If you mention any sort of stone around me,

58:09

I go beet red. I

58:12

quite love a stone. I

58:14

really love stones. Oh, oh, oh. And

58:16

I've really taken a liking to Ash and Threst's

58:19

architecture. Oh, right.

58:21

Specifically the catacombs.

58:24

Catacombs. Catacombs. Oh! Bright

58:27

shadow cathedral. Yes, the cathedral. Excuse me.

58:30

A little bit of my mango juice. It was

58:33

perfect today. We make it fizzy with

58:35

magic. Yes, no, we

58:37

have the cathedral, yes. We've constructed

58:39

a cathedral, and yes, there

58:42

are some catacombs built into there. He

58:44

sort of goes, oh, it's funny, actually. I

58:47

always find it quite curious. You know, there was a problem

58:49

when they were originally building the cathedral, because they

58:51

wanted to have a series of catacombs to lay the ashes

58:54

of those who were laid to

58:56

rest. Normally the house of bindings deals with a

58:58

lot of that, and they do it

59:00

with it, but the cathedral themselves wanted some catacombs for some

59:03

of the more pious and wealthy citizens to be

59:05

laid to rest and things like that. But you

59:07

know it was interesting because they had to contend

59:09

with the sewers, the city, the town sewer system.

59:12

And the two tunnels were

59:15

very closely overlaid. They had

59:17

to be very careful to build them next to

59:19

each other, but not to allow any sort of

59:21

foulness or things to make its way into.

59:23

So it was a lot of clever engineering

59:25

was done, and very careful planning. They

59:28

must be such intricate blueprints. Yes,

59:30

well, let me fetch someone,

59:33

and he finds an assistant to come and take his

59:35

place. He's like, come with me. And you can see

59:37

that he carries like a big set of keys on

59:39

a large metal wrought ring. We're not taking up too

59:41

much of your time, are we? No, this is why

59:43

I'm here. I'm here to help people with these sort

59:46

of matters. And he takes you down,

59:48

not up, but down

59:50

the spiral staircase, into a kind

59:52

of records room, and like he opens up the door,

59:54

and you can see that this isn't like a secret

59:56

place. This is kind of kept as a place for

59:59

people to come. and look at architectural plans and things

1:00:01

like that. And he takes

1:00:03

you over and he goes, there are these

1:00:06

several large kind of wall-mounted,

1:00:08

almost like stone drawers that are placed

1:00:10

into the walls of the room itself.

1:00:12

And as he pulls them out, they

1:00:14

come out on these slick long rails.

1:00:17

And there are these tubes of

1:00:19

leather, kind of large poster tubes. He

1:00:22

pulls them out and begins laying out plans. He's

1:00:24

like, now we have to go back quite fun.

1:00:28

Oh yes, here we are. Original

1:00:30

plans of the cathedral. And he

1:00:32

lays out the architectural plans. And

1:00:35

you can see the layout of the

1:00:37

tower, of the cathedral, sorry. You have the

1:00:39

main sort of chamber, the side rooms. There's

1:00:41

a balcony, sort of a second and even

1:00:44

third floor where the bell tower is. And

1:00:47

he points to a section just behind the altar,

1:00:49

the main cathedral, where you can see on the

1:00:51

plans there are stairs leading down. So here is

1:00:53

the entrance of the Catacombs and then he shuffles

1:00:56

it along and moves the paper. And you can

1:00:58

see here it enters and yeah,

1:01:00

clear enough, there is a large map of

1:01:02

like the Catacombs themselves. Now

1:01:05

obviously these are all sealed up and independent. And you

1:01:07

can see that there are several channels here.

1:01:09

Each of these rooms has been built with

1:01:11

alcoves for the Ashes of the Departed. This

1:01:14

section here was reserved for sort

1:01:16

of more affluent members to

1:01:19

have their own private chambers. And you

1:01:21

can see there's like a series of

1:01:23

one off small little rooms. And then

1:01:25

these larger rooms are for more public

1:01:28

collections of the things built into the

1:01:30

alcoves, small plaques for where each

1:01:32

of the urns are placed. Now

1:01:35

it's interesting because it's here and he

1:01:37

points to one long stretch. This section

1:01:39

here, and it's almost a strange zigzag

1:01:41

shape. The reason it had to be

1:01:44

designed in this manner was because a

1:01:46

sewer line runs directly along here. So

1:01:48

they had to change it and put

1:01:50

it at a diagonal where it's normally

1:01:52

have another chamber built into there. When

1:01:54

the Catacombs go at an

1:01:56

angle. This section and

1:01:58

it's one section is... basically like one

1:02:00

diagonal line. Making a distinct note

1:02:03

of that. Yeah, sure. Fascinating.

1:02:06

Yeah, I'd say like at this point, you

1:02:08

guys can navigate it. You can see the

1:02:10

kascumes, it's not labyrinthian, it's quite clearly marked

1:02:12

into kind of almost like a square with

1:02:14

adjacent rooms leading off of it. And then

1:02:17

just one corner of it is like a

1:02:19

diagonal line rather than a right angled line.

1:02:22

And he points to it and says like, yes, and it

1:02:24

explains that yeah, basically they had to do that to not

1:02:26

run into the older sewer system that was put in place.

1:02:29

You don't happen to have the sewer plans

1:02:31

as well. I'd be interested to see how

1:02:33

they... Well, we do, but they've been remodeled.

1:02:35

It was the original sewers were built

1:02:37

a long time ago and as there

1:02:39

have been improvements to sanitation and magic

1:02:41

and things like that, they have been

1:02:44

altered. But the older tunnels, and again,

1:02:46

he goes through and he starts pulling

1:02:48

out these maps and things like that.

1:02:50

He oversages it. Now here are the more

1:02:52

modern sewers which we use today. These

1:02:55

funnel fills away, it goes into the river,

1:02:57

downstream, all of that kind of business. But

1:02:59

these, and he kind of shuffles the papers

1:03:01

around. Now these are the originals. They were

1:03:04

much larger because back in

1:03:06

when the empire was first founded, when Ash and

1:03:08

Res was first founded, there was a lot more

1:03:10

sort of manual effort that needed to be cleaned

1:03:12

to make sure that there were not beasts and

1:03:14

critters and things like that. Now we have magical

1:03:16

materials and you know what? I hear that they

1:03:19

even employ, wizards create slimes

1:03:21

that digest the fill and

1:03:23

they send them down the modern sewers and

1:03:25

they sort of scoop up all of the

1:03:28

debris and that sort of thing. But these

1:03:30

older ones, crews would have to come in

1:03:33

and sort of clean out any filth or

1:03:35

creatures. Sometimes vault spawn would make their way

1:03:37

down there. But yes, these are

1:03:39

the original ones. And you see here this section,

1:03:41

this is the part that they had to build

1:03:43

around, yes. You see that graph

1:03:45

of the, yes? Yes, I do. Right

1:03:47

there? Yes, I'm looking at it here. You

1:03:50

make that good, meaningful note of that. Are

1:03:52

you students of sort

1:03:54

of masonry and architectural design?

1:03:56

Obvious of anything, but. Oh

1:03:58

yes, very good. start somewhere.

1:04:01

I'm uh I'm I'm on

1:04:03

a pilgrimage. To

1:04:07

learn about sewers? No. What

1:04:11

a strange custom. Learn

1:04:14

about the cathedral. Oh

1:04:16

the cathedral. Oh so you

1:04:18

must be your interest. He's a sewer

1:04:20

enthusiast. Oh I see. Yes yes yes

1:04:22

well I mean yes it was quite

1:04:24

fascinating you know the the the aim

1:04:26

of the original guild masters uh uh

1:04:29

mostly dwarves uh as is the way

1:04:31

uh they were they were trying to

1:04:33

help build something new for the city

1:04:35

and things like that very very fascinating

1:04:37

yes quite but yes I hope it's

1:04:39

been rather educational for it's been eye

1:04:41

opening. Wonderful well no you're more than

1:04:43

welcome um we do take note of

1:04:45

the muckery oh you like some I

1:04:48

don't have any parchment here I mean these

1:04:50

are originals you can't possibly take these. Oh

1:04:52

we never suggest. Why

1:04:57

are we laughing? We

1:05:00

should go. Yes I'm afraid I don't

1:05:02

have any parchment or anything on me.

1:05:05

You have parchment? No because I'm not

1:05:07

Nova. Oh well that's a shame I don't

1:05:09

know who Nova is but uh

1:05:12

but yes um yes I mean and

1:05:14

also um well we donation

1:05:16

is usually made to the guild for

1:05:18

sort of coming and I just gave

1:05:21

away my platinum bar. And

1:05:24

that would be quite a donation for a platinum bar.

1:05:26

You're gonna have to spot the man.

1:05:30

Some of this is a donation obviously it is not

1:05:34

compulsory but it is

1:05:36

appreciated. He holds our

1:05:38

gold. Oh

1:05:41

gold piece sounds very kind

1:05:43

of you. Another gold. If you

1:05:45

want. Yes another gold that's very kind of

1:05:47

you. Do you like them bronze instead for

1:05:50

the gold?

1:05:52

Two gold pieces thank you very

1:05:54

much. Gold each perhaps. Yes. That's

1:05:56

satisfactory. Yes. It

1:05:58

is certainly a donation. Thank you

1:06:00

very much. Well,

1:06:02

with that all nicely wrapped up,

1:06:05

good day. Good day to the day. Thank

1:06:07

you for your time. What a waste

1:06:10

of time. He's like muttering as

1:06:12

you guys are making your way back up.

1:06:14

He's like, yes, I'm just upstairs and free

1:06:17

loading. Bloody

1:06:19

tourists. At least they

1:06:21

could do five gold each. Each muttering.

1:06:25

All of them. All

1:06:27

the way. He's halfing, right? So, yes,

1:06:29

you have to get a little land around. Like, that's too

1:06:31

old for this. You

1:06:33

stuff a bit on my lunch break. Slides

1:06:36

it all down. Goes

1:06:39

back to busy mango juice. But what I would

1:06:41

like the two of you to do is you

1:06:43

can either, if

1:06:46

you are trained, if

1:06:48

you are proficient in survival, you

1:06:50

may use survival, otherwise it

1:06:53

is going to be an intelligence check. I

1:06:56

am proficient in survival. Well, they both

1:06:58

make survival checks. And

1:07:00

this is to represent how well you can

1:07:02

memorize the maps and familiarize yourself with the

1:07:05

landmarks and things like that to try and

1:07:07

find them. You can use survival instead of

1:07:09

in sedatives. Gruffr

1:07:11

still does have a Bardic inspiration. You

1:07:14

could also spend a Fave Point. I'll

1:07:17

Bardic inspiration this. Alright. What's your Bardic

1:07:19

D6? D6, right? D6.

1:07:22

It's a 3D6. Also...

1:07:25

14 plus 6 is a 20. 24,

1:07:28

yeah, Gruff. You are pretty... You have cemented

1:07:30

a kind of... Mind map! Well, yeah. And

1:07:32

like I mentioned, maybe using landmarks of like,

1:07:35

oh, there's a very... He mentioned that there

1:07:37

was this large room full of these, and

1:07:39

that's the closest room to that. And then on

1:07:41

the old sewers, that was overlaid here. But then

1:07:43

you kind of create that mind map of it.

1:07:46

Also, technically, if it's a... If it's a...

1:07:49

Entering ashes and it's a Columbarium, not a classical... This

1:07:51

is very strange here. Maybe it's something to do with a

1:07:53

custom. I don't know

1:07:55

what that fancy word that you use... You hear

1:07:57

your fancy words! Columbarium.

1:08:00

Column-barium, I don't know what that is. It's where you

1:08:02

put ashes. Well, this is, they call it a catacombs.

1:08:05

But they put ashes in it. Because of

1:08:07

the ashes. In a world of dragons

1:08:09

and magic? God, column-barium. All

1:08:11

right. Column-fer-the-um. What is

1:08:13

over-punk? I want to give shit. Playing

1:08:16

the cultural card. I'm going to put you in a column-fer-the-um. What

1:08:19

do they even mean? Please do. I

1:08:21

don't know. What you could do is, you

1:08:23

could do a little bit of a

1:08:27

I don't know. What

1:08:29

you could have done with mine, but you nailed it,

1:08:32

is roll that D6 again because I had bardic versatility.

1:08:34

Oh, do you want me to do it again? You

1:08:36

got a six on it? I got four. Oh, you got four.

1:08:39

You can see if you get high. I did

1:08:41

not get high. Roll the four again. Okay. I

1:08:43

got 15. You got 15? 15's

1:08:45

enough that you've got a good idea of it. I've forgotten everything.

1:08:47

No, no. You have a good idea of

1:08:50

it but it's not as good as... So, for

1:08:52

the purposes of this, because you got way above

1:08:54

the DC for it, 15 was the DC So,

1:08:56

you've memorized that map and you can have a

1:08:58

good idea of how to navigate it. But for

1:09:00

Gruffin, you don't even need to make checks or

1:09:03

anything to go there. You can just get there

1:09:05

once you're inside. You would

1:09:07

have had advantage on navigating the catacombs and

1:09:09

things to get there. I can't turn into a

1:09:11

little kitten, so... Well, you might need

1:09:13

to go down there. I don't need to anymore. Yeah.

1:09:16

No, I'm not looking at it, Katie. Katie is holding

1:09:18

up her journal entry. With a little drawing of

1:09:20

a maybe Gruff kitten. In a bag. It's in

1:09:22

a bag and it says, don't do this. Don't

1:09:24

do this. Gruff doesn't want

1:09:27

to go in a bag. The other thing I'm

1:09:29

going to give you on the 24 survival

1:09:32

check is not only

1:09:34

would you memorize the location of where

1:09:36

that section was, I would

1:09:38

say you can identify points that you could

1:09:40

enter into the old sewer system, not

1:09:43

within the church. So, and

1:09:45

in fact, with the... Because that was...

1:09:48

It's only five ahead. You got 24, right?

1:09:50

Yeah, 24. So, I rolled a 14 plus

1:09:52

6 plus 4. So, 24, not

1:09:54

quite 10 over the DC then. Aww.

1:09:58

But, yeah, you can identify that there

1:10:00

are... several parts of

1:10:02

Ashen's Rest, not like

1:10:04

manhole covers but they would be like sewer

1:10:06

like greats like built inside the sides of

1:10:08

streets and things like that where you think

1:10:10

you can get access to the old sewer

1:10:12

system. Okay. Sick.

1:10:16

I think we've done a great job.

1:10:19

I think you feel pretty good about this.

1:10:22

Now for some pastries.

1:10:26

I really hope they've gone to Lantee Fun.

1:10:28

I really hope so as well. Well

1:10:31

let's find out. I'm

1:10:33

trying to kick my journey. By

1:10:36

kicking your legs on the balcony. That's all I've been doing. Daisy.

1:10:40

Huh? We're going to meet the others. But

1:10:44

first, Lantee Fun. Patrick. Yes.

1:10:47

Yeah. It's very important. Patrick. And

1:10:49

then we're going to the catacombs. Which is

1:10:51

weird because ordinarily they'd be called Colin Firthian.

1:10:56

But I guess they have catacombs here. But

1:10:59

we need to pick up the coffees, the pastries

1:11:01

and then we meet the others. Yes. Yes?

1:11:05

Good. Wait have you been to a Lantee Fun? Yes.

1:11:08

I have, yes. Yeah you have. Yes.

1:11:11

Alright. We're going now. Alright.

1:11:13

From the whole shebang. Alright. I'm

1:11:16

buying the shop. Yep. You go

1:11:18

there, you find Maeve. I'll take the lot. Okay. You

1:11:21

buy the whole lot. Like everything in the store. The

1:11:23

little pastry of the day. Their

1:11:25

pastry of the day is

1:11:28

called a, it is called a

1:11:30

cauldron, what do we call

1:11:32

it? It

1:11:35

would be called like a cauldron flume and

1:11:37

it's like a cannoli. And

1:11:39

this is a pistachio and

1:11:41

hazelnut flume. It's called cauldron

1:11:44

flume. Double nut and cream.

1:11:46

Yeah. And it's got like almonds

1:11:48

speckled with chocolate on the outside. Triple nut. Triple

1:11:50

nut. With a bit of chocolate as well. Oh.

1:11:55

I've never seen a cauldron

1:11:57

quadnut. I have.

1:12:00

I'll take five of

1:12:03

your cauldron quadnuts please.

1:12:09

What divorce do I give Maeve? She's Irish. She's

1:12:11

Irish. She's Irish. She's oil,

1:12:13

yeah. A bit of a bit

1:12:16

of Jacksepticeye there. I can't help him. Sorry,

1:12:18

what was that you said then? Well,

1:12:21

I don't have a quadnut. I've

1:12:23

only got the flume, the pistachio and hazelnut

1:12:25

flume. Oh, okay. Well, I'll take the pistachio

1:12:28

and hazelnut flume. Maeve, how many would you

1:12:30

like? Five. All right, five.

1:12:32

Six. Six? Five

1:12:34

or six? Another one. Would you

1:12:36

like any drinks? I've got

1:12:38

a special blend from the Suncrestiles.

1:12:40

We've got a Suncrest blend in

1:12:43

the coffee. You can

1:12:45

have cauldron blend. How bitter? It's

1:12:47

a bit sweeter actually. A bit sweeter, the

1:12:49

Suncrest style one. That one. Yeah, cauldron's

1:12:51

a bit bitter. Five of those, five of the

1:12:54

other, the sweet. Five. All

1:12:56

right, five of this, all right, five. And

1:12:58

she'll start putting them, making up little bags

1:13:00

and things like that. They would

1:13:03

be... No, we're not. We have 500

1:13:05

gold worth of platinum. Blood money. They

1:13:07

killed her. The drinks would be about...

1:13:09

Mine. I feel like we earned that money. We've

1:13:11

got four cross coins and 13. Probably

1:13:18

that silver piece each, or five silver. That's

1:13:21

for the coffee and the cake. Nice. Coffee

1:13:23

and pastry. Five silver pieces. There, the

1:13:25

piece. Son, I have just spent platinum on you.

1:13:30

I'd pay that back. And spend silver.

1:13:32

Oh my God. I've lost... I've lost

1:13:34

everything. I have lost everything. Ruined. I'm

1:13:38

never going to financially recover

1:13:40

from that. You've got crown

1:13:42

steel. I'll

1:13:45

eat it. And it becomes a god. Yeah.

1:13:49

Maybe we'll be like, well, if you just want to take a

1:13:51

seat, I'll go prepare those and I can bring them out. Okay.

1:13:54

I'm just eating the others, by the way. I think the stonemason's killed.

1:13:56

Oh, they're just... Is that where they're going? You

1:14:01

said we're waiting here. You said pastries! You

1:14:03

said pastries and coffee. We

1:14:05

are not here. I mean, here. Remember what you

1:14:08

remember? Do you remember we have time to stop

1:14:10

by the Grumpy Hog on the way? Maybe. Why?

1:14:14

I'm parched. Oh

1:14:16

really? That's what the coffee's for. Wine,

1:14:19

xanthias. Coffee? Have

1:14:22

you tried it? I don't think I

1:14:24

have tried coffee. No. There's coffee

1:14:26

to tea. Excuse me? There's

1:14:28

coffee to tea. No coffee.

1:14:30

Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. It's

1:14:32

definitely not something that would be anosseous now. Give

1:14:35

it a try. I wouldn't

1:14:37

name a drink after a physical

1:14:39

reaction to something. No, coffee. Wine.

1:14:44

Well, yes, but wine is wine. Coffee's

1:14:46

like... Coffee. But whining is

1:14:48

ehhhhh. That's why, too. I

1:14:51

like to wine. I go, wine likes me. Well,

1:14:53

try coffee. Okay.

1:14:56

It'll wake you up. How tired are you,

1:14:58

by the way? I don't feel tired. I'm still hungry.

1:15:02

What kind of hungry? Crossant hungry? Okay.

1:15:05

No, it's not crossant left. This

1:15:07

has been a while, isn't it, actually? Two

1:15:09

days? Yes. God,

1:15:11

it's been two days. Even then, that was before

1:15:13

you hadn't... Oh, good. What

1:15:16

about...? It's been two days. That's

1:15:18

how I feel if I haven't had any good food in

1:15:20

a couple of days. So maybe I

1:15:22

understand now a little bit more. The

1:15:24

Gruff did. Oh, no, that's three gruff

1:15:26

did feet, actually. The blood that Gruff

1:15:28

fed you. But, yeah, two days

1:15:31

is still... So you hit points. Yeah, you heard the

1:15:33

very hit points. I'll

1:15:36

be alright for a little while. Okay, good.

1:15:38

Me too. Good. Are you

1:15:40

good? No, I want pastries.

1:15:42

Okay, fine. The pastries and coffees I brought

1:15:44

over for you. We have

1:15:46

you guys meet back up. You

1:15:49

guys eventually meet up. That is where we're

1:15:51

going to take our break. Okay, time. Yeah,

1:15:54

when we come back, what is the plan when we

1:15:56

come back? So I've got a chance

1:15:58

to think on the break what I need. to do.

1:16:00

Going down the sewers. All the catacombs. You want to

1:16:02

go and explore. We're going to talk to

1:16:05

Greal. Yeah maybe we want to get

1:16:07

Greal. We want to find a good

1:16:09

sewer entry point. Which you know about

1:16:11

right? And go in. Okay.

1:16:13

All sewers. Alrighty. And

1:16:15

crucially there is no need for kitten grass.

1:16:19

We'll see. Alrighty. We'll see.

1:16:21

In that case we

1:16:23
