to do that. Bernie. A

3:52

lotta things by the undergrad and I'd

3:54

go to make a family. Or

3:57

to the Sports Almanac. That's

4:00

what I was thinking. What's

4:02

a sport? It's

4:05

what you call a young child. Oh yeah. I

4:09

don't want to abduct a child in

4:11

a time travel. You didn't

4:13

chip like glitter in something in the amford? Did

4:15

you play a sport in the amford? No, yeah, I played

4:17

lots of things in the amford. You

4:19

know, as a triathlete. What are

4:22

the three sports in triathlon? Oh, you

4:24

know. Stabbing, stabbing,

4:26

sneaking, sneaking, and... Maybe

4:29

another one. This is

4:31

on use. Oh, he's fire

4:34

dancing. Oh!

4:37

I like that. Those three. Sneaking,

4:39

stabbing, and fire dancing. Hey,

4:41

there's Chip Heaney. Did Barney have anything

4:44

else to share about turning back time? No! He fell asleep.

4:47

Now! Chip Heaney here.

4:50

You know, a amford alumni. Alumnus?

4:53

Alumni. I

4:55

actually don't know. I don't either. They didn't teach

4:57

me that in the amford. The one thing they

4:59

didn't teach. And not

5:01

a single grammar class in all of the amford.

5:03

There's lots of powers that I wish I could

5:06

have. You know, like, to help me out with

5:08

my, you know, killing. If I

5:10

could have some sort of like cool super-death

5:12

power. Or maybe to help fight fire. Some

5:14

sort of fire control. Like water power. But

5:16

really, the power that I wish I had

5:18

the most was just perception and ability. I

5:23

just wish I could perceive just anything, you know. That

5:26

seems like magic to you. Yeah, yeah. I run out

5:28

into the rain and then, you know, Carol

5:30

would be like, Hey, is it raining? And then I'd

5:32

be like, you know, I don't know. Because

5:34

I don't have perception. I

5:37

don't perceive any rain. Yeah. Well, you

5:39

know, humans can't perceive wetness. Well,

5:41

he's a tiefling. Yeah, I'm a tiefling.

5:43

Tieflings can. We know when it's wet. Except

5:46

for man, perceive it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's

5:49

just wet and doesn't know why. I'm

5:51

blinking some of that. What about death? I'm

5:54

playing with death. So,

5:58

alumnus refers specifically to the to

6:00

a singular male graduate. An alumni is

6:02

the plural form for a group of

6:04

male graduates and for

6:07

a group of male and female graduates.

6:09

Meanwhile, the singular term for female graduates

6:11

is alumna or alumnae with an

6:13

A-E at the end. I've never heard alumnae.

6:16

Those are for the horse schools. That is

6:18

from the University of Nottingham. Isn't

6:20

alumni also what you would call

6:23

where you went? No, it's

6:25

your alma mater. I'm

6:27

a Yantford alumni. You

6:29

can't be. Alumni. Sounds

6:32

like a mistake. Yeah,

6:35

it does. But who's not a mistake?

6:37

Nilda? Are you

6:40

done, Chip? Yeah,

6:42

yeah, yeah. So, hold on. Let me perceive if I'm done. I

6:47

don't know. Really turn up the

6:49

volume on those? Yeah, we were sitting here

6:52

before we started recording and John,

6:54

I think, had moved Blaine's headphones from one plug

6:56

to another and Blaine was just sitting there and

6:58

not saying anything which is a blank look on

7:00

his face. I was turning the volume up to

7:02

see when it got to a point that he

7:04

liked and he did nothing. Yeah, that's real loud.

7:07

You kept turning it louder and then

7:10

I was so distracted by the loud. You gave

7:12

me no clue. It's like when someone comes over and

7:14

pours water and you just watch them pour water until

7:16

it's overflowing. You never say when. Well, I'm just like,

7:18

well, surely they're going to stop it soon. I can't

7:20

hear what it sounds like. Anyway,

7:22

hello party people. Elga in the

7:25

house. Thank you for tuning into

7:27

my stream. Yeah. I'm

7:31

Barbara Dunkelman. What's up? My voice Elga

7:33

von Brass, the half-elf vampire barbarian.

7:36

Level seven. Nice.

7:40

And? I'm

7:42

getting my thoughts together. That was

7:44

like zigzagging verbally. I know. I'm going all over the

7:46

place. I

7:48

have many powers.

7:50

I have superhuman

7:53

strength. I have flight. Now that I

7:56

can change into a Bat..

7:58

That's also shape shifting. And

8:01

then they'll the have emerged. In

8:04

Unity they knew that he

8:06

didn't tell them. How do

8:08

you. Think

8:10

of money for asking some I interviewed about that my

8:12

but for yeah. I

8:15

think I would serve invisibility as I

8:17

think that would be pretty scary when

8:20

you see an Axis lying. I feel

8:22

his mother know little girl at that's

8:24

out and I even the most very

8:26

having a little passes through. It's like

8:28

Elgar already has villas invisibility against trip

8:30

cause his personal. Or

8:33

knows that were elderly short for years perceives

8:35

you're you're below his line. Authority are you

8:37

don't exist? Elder with invisibility would be like

8:39

the worst mosquito ever. Could you? never? I

8:41

never know when you get a bit until

8:43

you feel it and that's what a d

8:45

like if it is. Elena is that you

8:48

just feel to fake guns that man you're

8:50

dripping in your ass. Go on I change.

8:52

My answer is really sounds really cool. I

8:55

perceive as I can change my answer as

8:58

I read. I feel like there might be

9:00

a good public compilation. Some be there were

9:02

like. Older, get out of my booth and

9:04

just out of my bath. I am pilgrim

9:06

few of those in December and confessionals. But.

9:09

I feel like girth. This arrow kind of

9:12

turned into a humble brag session for a

9:14

couple characters and I don't know that yes,

9:16

I am. Heritability, Remember covering it up and

9:18

inability. Wish they had to think it's it's,

9:20

it's it's it did taught me a lot

9:22

of we talk about surrounded by undead gods

9:25

9:39

with a hollow freeze. It

9:47

said. He needs. A

9:52

weak smile comes across her face. You

9:54

notice a signal on her belt the

9:56

why are the tip Recognize a single

9:59

point zero. Wisdom Check as a

10:01

nineteen month when eating with a rumor

10:03

hi I'll tell you that you to

10:05

organize the federal but because he don't

10:08

10:10

you. This is something older, the knowledge

10:12

and federal that you know hours or.

10:16

More films. For.

10:22

A. Few. Weeks

10:30

flames and he says.

10:38

I love your chest. Or

10:40

feeble hand reaches up to touch your face

10:42

but off the ground and her body, it

10:44

fails. One final breath. The

10:48

I didn't know if you to come

10:50

right out of a lot of effort

10:52

to say oh to religious moments where

10:54

be I get big hit Lore episode

10:56

where he gets super powers and a

10:59

cool new weapon he hadn't been really

11:01

mean to really bring back me now

11:03

and we're man You answer the wrong

11:05

ability for any mean or just admit

11:07

I wanted to send them are no

11:09

deserves to be like the original Superman

11:11

move in the seventies it we want

11:13

to fly fly around the world so

11:15

fast you better have back or even

11:17

your rather. Than mine in the

11:19

ah ah ah I'm a

11:21

gang. Don't have a moment

11:23

and wow look at night.

11:27

And yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry Again,

11:29

sorry. ah, I'm gonna let them

11:32

my pillow believe I sighed. And

11:34

then I'm just gonna hold Carol

11:36

on concern up your home. Taro

11:39

authorize for her. You know I

11:41

I. I feel like I node

11:43

ship knows death intimately enough to

11:46

know that there's probably. Nothing you

11:48

can do at this point to Portugal. Enroll in medicine

11:50

sir. Be

11:52

insulted. Mm Twenty nine he

11:55

me that you as isn't

11:57

what you will determine the

11:59

several ways. died you have a

12:01

negative one on that yeah but you

12:04

know you can tell that her death

12:08

was brought on by some kind of venom that

12:11

poisoned her blood in essence the

12:13

life was drained from her and the poisoning seems

12:15

to have started from like the weight like the

12:17

midsection that spread out from there okay

12:19

I like you a stabbed in the

12:21

midsection or something yeah or is this like a

12:25

kind of thing is it like what is what what

12:27

else can I determine is there is there a check

12:29

what he just said there like an

12:31

external wound or anything I'm gonna make an investigation check

12:35

okay it's like mortuary assistant oh

12:38

my god sick hold

12:40

on I think I might have oh I've

12:42

inspiration can I also help him investigate well I

12:44

thought are we still there where where we've stepped

12:46

away a very private moment for chip and I

12:48

think he'd want to do this on his own

12:51

yeah this would just be chipped I'm gonna I'm

12:53

gonna use my inspiration for another investigation namaste or

12:55

10 10 that's fine it's it

12:58

you don't need that high of a row because you know when

13:00

you look you can see that it's pretty clear to you that

13:02

the source of the venom seems to be a magic

13:05

belt strapped to her waist seems

13:07

like it's really on their tight it's difficult

13:09

to unfasten or move it but when you

13:11

you know open it up and look at

13:13

it it looks like it contains a vial

13:15

with a few droplets left of some kind

13:18

of green venom maybe you know is this

13:20

like a drip fading thing or was it

13:22

triggered like remotely well there's a contraption in

13:24

it right that seems like it's

13:26

there to inject the venom with two fang

13:28

like syringes so wasn't necessarily like metered out

13:30

okay and if you remember from the end

13:33

of the last episode the belt has a

13:35

buckle with the shape of a red blood

13:37

drop and inside is the outline of a

13:39

white upside-down triangle you don't recognize the symbol

13:42

but you do know that it's something older

13:44

than the time signals that you know hmm

13:47

okay okay

13:58

well so with that Can I

14:00

do any other like look through

14:02

or is there anything else to be done?

14:05

You can make like an arcana

14:07

check to see if you're able to

14:10

figure out anything related to the belt. 13,

14:13

the belt seems to emanate some

14:15

kind of maybe divination or necromancy

14:17

magic. It's clearly some kind of

14:19

rare magical device that's capable of

14:22

being activated from far distance. Ah.

14:24

And it almost seems like it

14:26

would track the wearer's location. And

14:29

the reason you were having trouble opening it

14:31

or removing it from her is

14:33

because it's magically locked. So it

14:35

was remote triggered and

14:38

she was basically being held hostage. All

14:40

related to the group, but can I

14:42

go through her stuff? I

14:44

feel like I can also piece together what's

14:46

going on in her final moments by the equipment

14:49

that Carol carried on her. Yeah, you

14:51

go ahead and start looking through here

14:54

like her pockets and you find, of

14:56

course the belt and the mechanism that

14:58

we just talked about. In her

15:01

left pocket, you find some

15:03

letter supplies like paper, pen,

15:06

in her right pocket, you find a photo

15:08

that's folded in half of you chip. Okay.

15:12

I'll quietly pocket that in the bum

15:14

bag. Okay, well then at this point,

15:17

yeah, I'll just kind of hold her for

15:19

a while longer and

15:21

just kind of process that. And

15:23

then, hey gang, let's

15:25

gather around team meet up. Yes,

15:28

I'm so sorry that you lost your wife

15:30

again. Yeah, thanks Elga. Can

15:33

Barney try and like, I don't know, test

15:36

any spells, like your healing spells

15:38

for like, I don't have,

15:40

man. I

15:42

feel like Chip would

15:44

kind of sense that that's what he's trying to do

15:47

and he knows it's in good intentions. But I think

15:49

maybe Chip would kind of back

15:51

it down. It is okay, Barney. We know you would if you could. Why

15:54

don't, Barney, why don't you

15:56

roll me a wisdom check? With pleasure.

16:00

I don't like the way you said that. I don't like

16:02

that either. Cut that out. I'm glad you said it.

16:04

Yeah. Well, I didn't roll

16:07

great. That was a 10 total. So

16:10

you know, you think

16:12

about it and you know, Chip kind

16:14

of, you know, puts his hand on

16:16

your shoulder expressing, you know, his desire.

16:18

But then you realize that maybe your

16:21

divine power would be better served assisting

16:23

Lewis, who's also laying there unconscious. Oh,

16:27

I forgot he was here. Yeah. Lewis

16:30

formed. That's why I had your role of wisdom check

16:32

to see if you remember it. Yes. Yes.

16:35

I have a question. Always do not.

16:37

Is poison necrotic typically, right? There's various

16:39

kinds. Do we know what type of poison

16:41

is in injecting here? So you

16:43

relate everything to them, right, Chip? Yeah.

16:46

Yeah. I basically just

16:48

like very cold, calculated, here's the facts, no emotions.

16:50

Could I look at it and see if I

16:52

recognize the sigil? Yeah. But

16:55

real fast to answer your previous question.

16:57

In this specific case, there is necromancy

16:59

magic involved with it. So

17:02

that's necrotic. Yeah. And

17:04

the necrotic would be necromancy. Okay. And

17:06

then you want to see if you recognize the sigil? Yeah. Yeah.

17:10

Can I check too? Well, you're looking at working

17:12

on it. Yeah. Okay. What

17:14

we'll deal with you and Lewis here in a

17:16

second, then if you want, you can take a

17:18

look at it after that, Barney. You take a

17:20

look at the sigil as well that's in the

17:22

magical belt and you do recognize it, Elga. You

17:25

do recognize it as being the sigil of Vania, your

17:27

homeland. Chip,

17:30

I promise I have nothing to do with this, but

17:34

I recognize the sigil that's on Carol's belt.

17:37

It's from Vania, where I'm from. Okay. But I

17:39

did not put it on her. No, no, Elga, I didn't think you would have. You've seen

17:41

my hands the whole time? Of course. No,

17:43

this isn't your style. I know it's not you. It's much

17:45

too subtle. Yeah. I like Elga. You've

17:52

seen my hands the

17:54

whole time? I

17:57

Picture Like a little kid holding their hands up. I

18:00

have a question of up and help me remember that

18:02

you have tell the remember the to buy perfect memory

18:04

as a character. John

18:07

doesn't have the feet smithy. it has

18:10

the feet of gas. Has to be

18:12

the one to tell nothing. My shares

18:14

com boom at the front of. we

18:16

were on the train before we detoured

18:19

18:23

18:26

18:28

We all met up. Yeah. You were

18:30

going to be me up to try

18:32

to follow on a lead to continue

18:34

the investigation to go after if I

18:36

remember it and quickly from on the

18:38

word on the train to continue the

18:40

investigation to follow potentially were Etti might

18:42

be a get Thursday made his whereabouts

18:44

of eddy currents car to further and

18:46

have talked lengthy. I now I want

18:48

to go back to Crystal have provided

18:50

have a mic attack you you know

18:52

you remember that Louis prepared you think

18:54

about possible using some of your healing

18:56

power the fifth that could bring him

18:59

back but I want you to make

19:01

on alert you to the their medicine

19:03

or and Arcata check on that Madison.

19:06

Toilet you think that your healing

19:08

spells will not waiting, you need

19:10

some something more powerful and permanent

19:13

to our kind of counteract the

19:15

curse of flicking his body. Though

19:18

he doesn't have a poison, Bell

19:20

is than fancy, just inconsiderate. Down,

19:23

you were not aware it out

19:25

when you found him, he was

19:27

floating unconscious. Embassy Mobile. Ah gotcha

19:29

better. So so can I sleep

19:31

and white like easy to unconscious of

19:34

like it. Is there anything else yeah

19:36

than like what even you're like based

19:38

on your medicine Check our faith that

19:40

does seem like he's just unconscious, but

19:43

you're not entirely sure why you think

19:45

based on that medicine sixty think it

19:47

has something to do with the curse

19:49

that's affecting him, say on or offices

19:52

and do anything at all. Census at

19:54

the point that a feral who interesting

19:56

and of it's interesting. Ah yeah, how

19:58

would we do that? Have you

20:00

make her a kiss The medicine said I

20:02

would you approach that Athena off it flies.

20:08

Against also it is it is difficult I

20:11

I I do want to clarify the belt

20:13

is still like very much in your with

20:15

to we have not will able to magically

20:17

remove we didn't think both of us are

20:20

you said it's it is measured in it

20:22

as it is long gone occurred could. Also

20:24

just one adult and see if she recognizes or

20:26

to had success. Yeah, I mean I agree

20:28

on our ayers bring it up like a

20:30

point because I'm beginning to the present that

20:32

they're really going to try to up not

20:34

to mess with if I'm not absolutely trying

20:36

to get off the family and elect to

20:38

pry first. and yet the Mexicans are Elgar

20:49

when it mattered he knew it is

20:51

not looking. Yeah, you're able to like

20:53

fudge around with it. And are you

20:56

figure out a way. To unlock at

20:58

a few very counterintuitive is autistic or you

21:00

know Chip is very much used to dealing

21:02

with non magical lock. The figure locked him

21:04

in things open like that. so this is

21:06

a little counterintuitive for you, but you are

21:09

able to ah to free and get it

21:11

off and ten an effective anything and other

21:13

stuff. The feet of the and Cry clan

21:15

21:36

Yeah, Try.

21:46

Elders as an entrance. Is that the

21:49

parts aren't know him make

21:51

a constitution saving and Amrit

21:53

I am. ah resistance in

21:55

a product of twenty. Oh

21:57

nice. You know you are

21:59

able to. extract some of the

22:01

venom and I assume you know

22:03

you you you extract it and spit it out and

22:05

you know it leaves a very awful

22:07

taste in your mouth and you feel

22:09

it makes it does make you feel a little

22:12

dizzy but you're able to like shake it off

22:14

and and maintain your your composure. Is there anything

22:16

I could identify about the taste of it? I

22:18

was going to say you're going to do this

22:20

roleplay hey Elga have you the weird question have

22:22

you ever bit Eddie? Have I? I don't

22:25

think so. I don't think I have. Because I'm

22:27

starting to think that this is definitely something to

22:29

do with the disease green vein. What's that

22:32

like for veins turned green yet? Yeah. I

22:34

have a question. I had John here with

22:36

questions all the time. Hi John. Long time

22:39

less than your first time calling. Where are we? You're

22:42

on the mountain side. Why are we on

22:44

that mountain? Because if I recall we

22:47

were in the grotto

22:49

like area the the

22:51

Talon headquarters with

22:53

the tree and all that and then end

22:55

of combat Carol like went unconscious

22:58

and we appeared here or did

23:00

I hear that wrong? You so at the start

23:02

of the last episode well at the end of

23:04

the previous episode you all had lost consciousness and

23:06

when you came to we lost consciousness and we

23:08

came to right and you were on the side

23:10

of the mountain and you began making you one

23:12

of you I forget who found blood leading in

23:14

the track up and then followed it. Oh did

23:17

we lose consciousness because of something Carol

23:19

did? Oh in the previous episode before.

23:22

Yeah. She rock cast a spell that

23:24

had knocked everyone unconscious. She sure rock

23:26

who was the one that was remaining

23:28

in the circle of magic or the

23:30

no she was the one that got banished right? Yeah

23:32

she came back for banishment. Oh

23:35

I missed that entirely. Okay so

23:38

she rock came put us all

23:40

into a spell and we became

23:42

conscious and it's not conscious. Oh yeah

23:44

right you regain consciousness on this mountain.

23:46

So playing off this can we tell

23:48

how much time has lapsed since the

23:51

encounter with the pack? You can make

23:53

a hmm I feel like I've

23:55

been asking for a lot but go ahead and make a wisdom

23:57

no no no make a survival check. Could I also assist that

23:59

by doing a little bit of reconnaissance.

24:02

Can Mati do some

24:05

flight and look and see like, where are

24:07

we? Maybe even just see like, do

24:09

I see Perish, Perish or the

24:11

little hag place? Yeah, me? Have

24:14

a covenard? I rolled a three on

24:16

survival. Talent headquarters. Yeah, let

24:18

me deal with Blaine while I'm doing that. Mati,

24:21

roll. I'm always throwing a lot of each today. Sorry. Perception

24:24

set. I like these moments. I mean, this is a bummer,

24:26

but we're like in investigation mode. We're like, now we got

24:28

to figure out the next steps of our journey. And

24:30

we have some leads. Did you

24:32

roll? Three. You're not

24:34

sure. You know, you know that it's evening,

24:37

but you're not sure if it's evening of

24:39

the same day that previous combat

24:41

happened, or if it's the next day or even

24:43

the day after that. Does Chip grow like stubble?

24:45

He had a mustache. Can you tell us like

24:47

how long has it been? Yeah. You

24:52

bust out your Yamper ruler. Yeah,

24:54

when you millimeter the old mustache

24:56

has grown. One gray hair. Yeah,

24:59

yeah, yeah. Sixteen for a

25:01

perception check. You think that

25:03

way far in the distance, you

25:05

may see the walls of Parrish. Okay, so we are

25:07

a distance away much further than we would have been

25:10

if we had just come out

25:13

straight up from talent. Correct. Thank

25:15

you. Let's huddle up, gang, because we got to

25:17

come up with some steps. Obviously, there's

25:19

some holes in the memory, and,

25:22

you know, we got some

25:25

crimes to solve. Obviously, we

25:27

need to bring back Lewis slash

25:29

alchemist, and I think

25:31

based on the belt and what Elgis said, we're

25:34

going to have to go to Vania. We're

25:38

going to have to go to Vania. I

25:40

just don't know what to do with them. Like,

25:43

is there anybody that we can call in for assistance? I

25:46

got the card to say Aya's. Do you

25:48

think I should try messing with those? I always have to

25:50

do Carol talking to me. I think that's a worthwhile thing

25:52

to try out. My

25:54

cards to say Aya's were the letters that we

25:56

wrote. He found pen

25:59

and paper. and paper or writing utensils,

26:01

writing materials in... Is that what those

26:03

were? Correct. Do you want

26:05

to check? Yeah, I mean... Is there anything

26:07

discernible about the cards and status to tell

26:10

that it's different than just regular paper? Yeah,

26:12

you can see it has like a lot

26:14

of calligraphy, like it's very fancy paper. Fancy.

26:17

So... Yeah, I was gonna say still

26:19

agree, but that's not right. Paper wouldn't have to. That

26:21

would be like gold... Yeah, like gold on it. Yeah,

26:23

like decorations on paper. So we don't know if the

26:25

parchment she was carrying was the other... It doesn't seem

26:28

like the same kind of paper. And I would try...

26:31

Okay, what kind of letter should I

26:33

write? Because we don't know who holds the other end

26:35

of this. I don't want to give

26:37

away too much information. Have we actually done a check

26:39

to see if she actually is in fact dead? Yeah,

26:41

is there... Yeah. We

26:43

have to check it. Yeah, okay. Worthwhile

26:45

asking. That's a good question. What do you ask?

26:48

Because what have you gotten? Did that... Hi,

26:50

I'm good. How are you? Yeah. Who

26:53

are you? Hi, how are you?

26:55

Where are you at? You up? Can

26:57

we remember what message we've

26:59

gotten so far from the Karthus? It was like,

27:01

I'm amongst the dead. The dead. But

27:04

that was the only one? I was like the most

27:06

recent one I think that we got. Which

27:09

again, that led us to like, okay, we'll perish as

27:11

the land of the dead. Hell, good. Do

27:13

you have any notes in your little... I mean, it said the male in

27:15

his bag said, I'm amongst the dead now. Your little pocket pal.

27:18

Oh! Carol... He's

27:20

awake. Well, I'm sorry. Didn't

27:23

Carol give you a potion that said you might

27:25

need something after this fight to get you one

27:27

of your friends? That's okay. Hold on.

27:29

She did say that. I don't know this is Barney,

27:31

but... I mean, you know this is Chris,

27:33

right? I know this is Chris. Is that the thing that she

27:35

put in that she didn't tell you what it is? Right

27:39

away? Yeah. God.

27:41

You want to try using it on Chris? The

27:44

thing she put that you didn't notice

27:46

was the silver pin that has the

27:48

S around the sword. Right. But

27:50

she did give me a vial of something. Yeah, a

27:52

vial. Take

27:55

a wisdom check for me,

27:57

Chip. Wisdom. Not going to be

27:59

good. Here we go. that eight.

28:02

Could I look at it? Well

28:05

I'll tell you what, I mean you do remember why

28:07

don't you you know you I assume

28:09

you would pull out the bottle and look at it and

28:12

it has a label and when you read

28:14

the label it reminds you of what Carol

28:16

said it says Heidi and

28:19

cure. Does Elga know what

28:21

Heidi and means? I'd think

28:23

again. Dr. Jacklin will miss her eyes. So

28:27

maybe we give this to Lewis. I mean I

28:30

do you think anything

28:33

on the nutritional information is to say how

28:35

many servings I've got here. It says one

28:37

serving and it has 75% of your RDA

28:40

of sodium. Oh gee oh that's

28:42

salty. I like your light. I

28:45

mean she did say one of our friends would need

28:47

it. Not her. I feel

28:49

like it's probably Lewis then. Yeah let's let's

28:51

go give this to Lewis because I mean

28:53

it's a separate thing from. But he's unconscious

28:55

maybe it'll help. Yeah no no yeah

28:58

okay I'm gonna uncork it I'm

29:00

gonna lay Carol down. This entire time I've been sitting with

29:02

Carol just like her head resting on my lap. I'll hold

29:04

her for you now. Thank you Elga. I'm

29:06

gonna walk over to Lewis and

29:10

feed him the vial hold up his head and just

29:12

gonna do a good like there

29:14

you go. Yeah you pour the hiding cure down

29:16

Lewis's mouth

29:27

and you know a lot of it dribbles out and kind of

29:29

gets all over the place. But enough

29:31

enough of it must enter his

29:34

body because Lewis begins transforming and

29:36

shrinking into a great

29:38

hair robber who then slowly wakes

29:41

up. Oh

29:44

my god. You're

29:48

Gonna have to listen to that when you edit

29:50

this podcast. I, Mati would have been so startled

29:53

by that. I think Mati would have just kicked

29:55

in that direction because I think that would just

29:57

been like that's an enemy of clearly. Kirsten

30:01

down glance Ah Ja rule. Robert

30:04

looks around and he has very

30:06

confused look on his face. Was

30:08

a fraud or we're on the

30:10

side of the mountains near Paris.

30:12

Ah, we found Carol. He was

30:15

the hag in disguise. passed away.

30:25

Said look. I'm pleased though

30:28

He had this point the

30:30

belt and Lg was able

30:32

identified as the Scrum Mania.

30:36

I didn't even. Though

30:39

fine, I'll go in. Another crime you

30:41

didn't do. The alchemist you know get

30:43

to his feet meal. before he goes

30:45

over to look at it. he has

30:47

his hand on your finger tip. You

30:49

know he was excellent knowing they're all

30:51

connected. The final. Form

30:54

of a plane. And. It

30:57

helped them been. In. This

31:03

region that the Marriott a friendly methyl.

31:05

now I did I was dating back

31:07

at it but I'm just you know

31:09

I don't know that hit by than

31:11

feel a lot of a spiritual stuff

31:13

surf I just know he's just trying

31:16

to make me feel better. don't like

31:18

it's they thought about enough Yeah he

31:20

removes the pan from a trip shoulder

31:22

and you know very slowly makes his

31:24

way over a few seems like maybe

31:26

has he will he is sort hip

31:28

nor back slowly makes his way over

31:30

and start taking a look at the

31:32

belt. Certainly have. Enough of the

31:34

Empiric Is it a very

31:37

curious device? I've never seen

31:39

anything like that awful. While

31:42

we figure that it might have been

31:44

remote controlled, you know who'd wanna do

31:47

something like this? Alpha Deep seen correlation

31:49

between it and Etti as a catalyst.

31:51

You know, based on the screen name

31:53

is definitely a permanent. i

31:56

have to agree with the play

31:58

doc our wedding do Well, I

32:01

think the first step is that we need to

32:03

take care of Carol. Are you aware

32:05

of any of her wishes? Is

32:07

there any way you would like

32:09

to remember her or something you would

32:12

like to do to mark this place

32:14

or catch her? I can consider that.

32:16

Well, she did want us to go complete

32:18

her mission by finding sheath. Yeah,

32:21

you did do that. You want to mark this ground

32:23

though? Her body's gonna fade. Yeah, I

32:25

feel like that would be something that Chip might want

32:27

to handle separately, just kind of walk off and do

32:29

that. Yeah,

32:31

I think the Alchemist is more trying

32:34

to make sure you think about it,

32:36

that he's making sure you have

32:39

time to think about it and process it as opposed to like,

32:41

hey, do this right now. He just wants

32:43

to make sure you know, dealing with someone. We'll

32:46

take care of that right before we leave. Understood.

32:49

What about anybody else? Would

32:51

anybody like to do anything? I

32:57

don't have it prepared, but I

32:59

have a spell called Ceremony. I

33:01

just don't know in the context of this world. It's

33:04

gonna fade though. Yeah, I know. I'm

33:06

just that I would offer that to what does it

33:08

do? I mean, I like, you

33:11

know, I guess, well, shoot me

33:13

straight, Robert. Like, is there anything that can

33:15

be done? Because it doesn't seem like

33:17

that's in the cards. No.

33:20

The call of the Feywild is very

33:22

strong and it cannot be

33:24

easily overcome. I don't think there

33:26

can be anything that can be done to

33:29

stop that. At least

33:31

not from this place. I don't know why not. world.

33:34

You know, the team is mad, but it was not. So who knows what

33:36

could happen to Carol? You know, maybe she'd come back in different ways. Yeah,

33:38

you're right. She's a good guy. She's a

33:40

good guy. She's a good guy. She's a good guy.

33:42

She's a good guy. She's a good guy. She's a

33:44

good guy. She's a good guy. She's

33:47

a good guy. She's a good guy. She's a good guy.

33:50

Yeah, you're right. It'll go. Maybe you don't want me

33:52

to do the funeral, right? You touch one corpse and

33:54

for the next seven days, the target can't become undead.

33:56

I'll kill you. No, but I definitely

33:58

would. Oh, oh, oh. It prevents

34:00

it from prevents it from someone like

34:02

necromancy bad necromancy take turning

34:04

someone up some dead Yeah, I mean if

34:07

her body's gonna fade go to

34:09

the say wild then I don't

34:11

know if that's a risk or something I

34:13

don't know. I just like we've already done enough

34:15

poking and prodding and like sucking Like

34:18

venom that I

34:20

think I think ship just kind of wants to

34:22

like let his wife rest I think my team

34:24

would like to do something. Okay. What's that? I

34:26

think Matid now I'm not gonna do it because

34:29

I can't make this kind of a sound

34:31

but Matid would do like a little song

34:33

like a little bird song Oh something something

34:35

very melancholy and Haunting

34:38

as a as a ghostly bird could do that

34:41

sounds pretty cool Yeah, and so that would be

34:43

I think the closest thing Matid could do to

34:45

think of like helping the situation And

34:57

so that would be the first thing that's gonna happen So

34:59

that's gonna happen And so

35:01

that's gonna happen So that's

35:03

gonna happen So that's gonna

35:05

happen So

35:09

that's gonna happen So that's gonna happen Hello

44:43

long you see a hideous bird with golden brown

44:45

feathers grayish bat wings and a yellow green lizard

44:47

like tails swoop down from the sky the

44:50

cockatree swiftly dives for chip check

44:53

44:55

check it's okay nice

44:58

he's just going to see his mama

45:00

15 yeah you are correct it is

45:02

skipper that's your pet diving down I

45:05

forgot that I thought his pet was just a bird I

45:07

know I thought that was just a

45:10

fancy word no no no how problematic

45:12

would that be if I had my

45:14

close friends I was caging one of

45:16

your brethren I

45:19

mean Eric Cochran's are different than birds that

45:21

are that are in the wild you are

45:31

no no no it's not a real go at it bad

45:33

day it's

45:35

like uh an amalgamation of creatures

45:37

yeah yeah now but yeah so

45:39

yeah skipper dives down from the

45:41

sky and lands safely

45:43

and very deathly on soldier

45:47

shoulder skipper nongest

45:49

shoulders skipper nuzzles his beak against your

45:51

face and you notice he has four

45:53

rolled up pieces of paper tied to

45:55

his legs well a newspaper a note

45:57

and two letters okay them

46:00

open. Yeah, I've

46:03

been a little busy looking for her. A

46:05

couple episodes ago, didn't you ask your neighbor to get your

46:08

mail and check on? You pull down

46:10

all the papers?

46:17

Yeah, yeah, I'll send it to you so

46:19

you can read it. Oh yeah, might

46:21

say I have the crossword in the paper. I

46:24

don't look at the comic. Bunny,

46:28

do you want the obituaries? No. I

46:30

think that's a little scary. Okay,

46:39

just

46:41

feel like that's an old person thing.

46:43

I swear they just opened their obituaries

46:46

and just say, oh, break died. Oh,

46:48

look, Carol. They're brought. I feel like

46:50

Chip has been handling all this stuff

46:52

pretty privately, but if this is information

46:54

that's gonna help us solve the case,

46:57

he feels like he's amongst friends who you can share with the rest of

46:59

the group. So he'll read this out. Dear

47:01

Chip, if you are receiving this

47:03

letter, then something has happened to me. No

47:06

doubt you have learned the truth

47:08

about me. It's true, sweetheart. I'm

47:11

a hag. Not so many

47:13

before me, I never knew my family. I

47:16

was taken at a young age by

47:18

hags. I was consumed by

47:20

them and rebirthed as a haggling. However,

47:22

the hags saw potential

47:24

in me. So I was groomed

47:27

and trained like a witchy assassin

47:29

from a young age. Yes,

47:31

a new coven was born.

47:33

Carolin. As you know,

47:36

during my tenure at Carolin, I had

47:38

a knack for clandestine work and craft

47:40

out many targets. Once

47:42

I met you, I put my

47:44

killing days behind me. I

47:46

changed my identity, procured a

47:48

concoction from an infamous alchemist to

47:51

change my appearance and run

47:53

away with you. I thought that

47:55

I succeeded. We lived years

47:57

in utter bliss, but I was

47:59

wrong. Not long

48:01

ago I was fed, not by

48:03

Talon, but by a man representing

48:06

a different organization. Sheath.

48:09

Society of Hidden Espionage

48:11

Agents for Tactical Harmony. He

48:14

warned me that Talon was hot on my trail

48:16

and that I should let them find me. He

48:19

wanted me to return to Talon to act as

48:21

a double agent on their behalf so I could

48:23

feed Sheath Intel. But

48:26

if you're reading this, it means that I

48:28

need you to pick up where I left

48:30

off. Sheath has

48:32

been conducting a top secret mission of

48:34

the utmost importance for weeks,

48:36

then. Unfortunately,

48:39

for security purposes, I

48:41

cannot provide the details in the

48:43

file. But I've

48:45

given you everything you need to find

48:48

my handling. If

48:50

anyone can find a target, it's

48:52

chip-haney. You have

48:54

always been, and will always

48:57

be, the best part of my life.

49:00

Oh, I love you, sweetheart.

49:03

Your life, I'm partner in

49:05

crime. Carol, Keno,

49:08

Amy. Keno,

49:12

I forgot her name. It was

49:14

a beautiful letter and I just was reminded of

49:16

Carol's beautiful little name. I thought it was his

49:18

last name. That's hyphenated last name. Oh yeah, hyphenated.

49:20

Yeah, yeah, thank you. I also had, you know,

49:22

I mentioned Skipper also had... That was a letter.

49:25

Some other papers, right. And so there's

49:27

two notes in the newspaper? There's also a

49:29

letter to Elga. Oh, Elga, this

49:31

one's addressed to you. Look

49:33

at that. That doesn't make any sense. Okay,

49:36

well, let me take a look. Hold on,

49:38

Union. I'm gonna have all this paper. Ahem.

49:42

They're Elga. Good

49:46

start. It's been over a week

49:48

since I last heard from you, my

49:50

daughter. You were only meant

49:52

to visit the Peace Parade and then return

49:54

home. Devania,

49:57

I worry for your safety, my child. Please

50:00

take care and come home

50:03

as soon as possible your

50:06

father counts Vombra

50:11

P.S Remember to

50:13

drink plenty of fluids Don't

50:16

forget to sharpen your axe every night

50:19

Just like my daddy would tell me every night That

50:22

has only been a little few weeks But

50:25

we've been gone very long at

50:27

all. Yeah, we've been action-packed How

50:29

would Elgis father have gotten a

50:31

letter to Skipper? That's a good

50:33

question. It's a mystery What

50:35

else? You're gonna have to ask him when you see

50:38

him. Okay. Well, I'll see you guys. Does my dad

50:40

know your wife? Dude, I am

50:43

so lost. I have questions for the alchemist, but

50:45

I want to continue reading all this stuff Skipper

50:47

also had a newspaper. Yeah, and there's

50:49

a note pinned to the newspaper It's

50:52

a small note signed by Inspector Weezer.

50:54

Okay, it says Too cold

50:57

No luck finding Eddie

51:00

or infiltrating the vampire

51:02

Urgent businesses come up in for

51:05

luck. Please continue the investigation Into

51:08

Eddie and Vamia. I've

51:10

provided an advance of your stipend

51:14

10 old pieces to each of you and

51:17

a current newspaper from the Atro

51:19

Tribune Good detectives

51:21

keep their eyes and ears Open

51:25

keep up the good work Inspector

51:27

Carl Weezer Is that

51:29

like a play on the they are cops and we're cold Did

51:32

we make that dumb joke when we got deputized?

51:34

That sounds like something dumb we would do It

51:36

does sound like something dumb you would do. Yeah,

51:38

that sounds like our flavor of idiocy. You all

51:40

were deputized as the city

51:43

official lawful detective Did

51:45

we cover that or did my dumb brother come

51:47

up with that? That was not us. He's sitting

51:49

right here. Classic dumb brother. Ain't

51:51

the first time I've called him dumb. He's gonna be the last time.

51:53

Hey Micah, we got words after this. Not just because of

51:55

the cold thing but because he killed my wife. What

51:59

was the L again? Lawful, this will be

52:01

the last time you have to tell us, because

52:03

fireball write it down. Alright, so then in what's

52:05

on the newspaper? He said it was like from

52:07

Atro City? Yeah, it's the Atro Tribune. It's all

52:09

in news articles about the goings on in grotesque.

52:12

Can we read it? Yeah. Deadline,

52:14

atrocities in Atro City. I

52:16

get this. There's

52:19

civil unrest in the city. Many believe

52:21

the abrilliance are to blame for the

52:23

wolfman's death. curfew has been put

52:25

in place for the safety of all citizens. curfew?

52:28

Does it say how early could a curfew is? It

52:30

says sunset. Well, we know the abrilliance didn't

52:32

do it. Is it a curfew being enforced

52:35

by a few cops? Oh,

52:38

gosh. I was like, I don't get it. There's something

52:41

I'm missing. Read

52:45

more on page six. Oh, it

52:47

turns to page six. There is no page six. Okay,

52:50

what? I think that this has something to

52:52

do with Ma and Pa, because I feel

52:54

like the area 15, the

52:56

abrilliance were always kind of pitted against

52:58

everyone else for being so different. Yeah.

53:00

And it's a lot of it had

53:02

to do with, I think, their beliefs

53:05

and how counter they were to the rest of the land. So

53:08

someone has skin in this game and they're trying to

53:10

pit everyone against the abrilliance. Or

53:13

no skin. Yeah, they are floating brains.

53:16

Did they? I think Eddie has no skin. Oh,

53:18

yeah, yeah, yeah. That's clever. Did Eddie have

53:20

anything against the abrilliance? Eddie

53:22

had something against Harry body. Eddie

53:24

had something against the Ma.

53:27

Is that the thing that brought everything together? Yes,

53:29

the Ma and the Pa, depending

53:31

on what you believe. Yeah, sure,

53:33

sure, sure. And Eddie was against

53:35

Ma? Eddie kept questioning other monsters

53:37

about the officials about the Ma.

53:40

Something happened he did not like about

53:42

that. Do we know what base type

53:44

Eddie is? What

53:46

do you mean? Tiefling, human, like, rape,

53:48

rape, rape. Oh, gosh. No, you're not

53:51

sure. He looks so... But

53:53

he has three veins. Right. Yeah, you

53:55

can't please him. I didn't hear veins. I heard

53:57

veins. He didn't hear any veins. You

54:01

went for a break on it? Uh, there's

54:03

two letters of newspaper clipping and a note. Lightning

54:06

strikes twice. In a

54:08

bizarre turn of events, famous scientists Dr.

54:11

Frank and Stein Victor were evidently struck

54:13

by lightning. Again! The

54:15

two have fallen into a comatose with no

54:17

sign of waking up. Frankenstein's right

54:19

and left hand man, Weegor, has temporarily

54:22

stepped into leadership, vacuumed to

54:24

carry the town through unforeseen tragedy. In

54:26

other news, taxes have soared and must

54:28

get them. Taxes have

54:30

soared and must get them? It

54:32

keeps coming. Why? Maybe because... Is that just

54:34

a headline? No article? Because Weegor has stepped

54:37

into leadership? Oh yeah, because Weegor... Remember? He

54:39

tried to give us a tax. Is

54:42

must get them where Weegor is at? Right. Okay, sorry.

54:45

My brain... Guys, the volt's tax. That's

54:47

the... Nice. The volt's

54:49

tax. Yeah, it is. Yeah, you

54:51

get what you were saying. It's the I'm alive kind

54:53

of thing, where that started.

54:55

Right, exactly. Okay, sorry. My brain

54:57

translated that to cock-a-soot. Oh. If

55:00

you were moving into car cars, it's like why they had

55:02

that. Yeah, it seems like stuff's going on everywhere. Is there

55:04

any other... Where, weather? Okay. Take

55:07

extra care as a double full moon

55:09

will illuminate the skies tonight. Oh. Okay.

55:12

What else do we got? Why was that interesting? Well,

55:14

I don't know. We probably haven't experienced

55:16

that before because it's only been a week, over

55:18

a week. And this all began, right? Yeah.

55:22

Is there any good news? No, that's about it. It seems

55:25

like it's just the front page that was

55:27

sent along. And, you know, the further pages

55:29

aren't there, which is why when Elga looked

55:31

for page six. What's the

55:33

weather going to be like today? Mostly clear skies. Oh,

55:35

that's nice. Yeah. Is there any other thing

55:37

we haven't read yet? Because we had the two notes, the newspaper,

55:39

and wasn't there one other thing? Mostly clear

55:42

skies. With a chance of revenge. It

55:44

was the note from Weezer. The note from Weezer,

55:46

actually. And what is the note from Weezer? Did you read that

55:48

one? Too cold. you

56:00

the investigation into Eddie and Vania.

56:02

What do we know about the

56:04

Vamspire? Was he invested? Why was

56:06

he investing in the Vamspire? I don't know

56:09

if he told you. I

56:11

think he was saying that we were going

56:13

to divide and conquer. He was heading to,

56:15

we were all collectively heading to Vania. He

56:19

continued on when we had to go chase, uh,

56:22

uh, Stinker. Do you?

56:25

Correct. I know. That's

56:27

a good job. You can have inspiration. Age was

56:29

a story. Elga, you know, rich storytelling.

56:31

You know, the Vamspire is for your

56:34

thing. Vampire?

56:36

Vamspire. Fire

56:38

isn't like the castle spire. Do I remember

56:40

where I'm from? This is about Elga right

56:42

now, Barney. Elga, tell me. I'm

56:44

going to say no, that we've had

56:46

little flashes, but nothing definitive that you've

56:48

identified yet. And he said he was

56:51

going to go, he's giving

56:53

up on Vania, but he's going to

56:55

another land. Phanalock. Phanalock. What do

56:57

we know about Phanalock? We're going to say wisdom check. I'm

56:59

going to do one too, because I want to know. Please. That

57:01

was my question. I was going to ask. That's

57:05

an eight. Oh, that's a... Probably 23. Normally,

57:07

it's normally, but you know, good wisdom check. I did. I

57:09

rolled a wisdom check about five minutes ago for something else

57:12

we didn't use and I rolled

57:14

a 19. And that's 20 for 25. There

57:16

we go. Oh, all right. Getting some good ones

57:18

in there. You know that

57:20

Phanalock is near the center of grotesque

57:22

and it's near a body of water

57:24

and that it's filled with people. Oh,

57:27

it's just a nessie. Who are very

57:29

religious. This the nessie, the Loch Ness month is

57:31

one of the, one of the people's in charge of

57:33

place. You know, I would have thought that like, Vania

57:36

would have been like the final boss by the way.

57:38

I didn't think. I feel like after Vania,

57:40

we're going to go to Phanalock. What are

57:43

you talking about? Final boss. No, no, no, no.

57:45

Do you think this is a game or something? Quick question. My

57:47

wife just died. What's wrong with you? I know you

57:49

should be in warning. I am warning. I am

57:52

warning. I am upstate. I think you're in shock. Do

57:54

you need, do you need a problem? Do you need to eat a

57:56

moment? Okay. We kind of know that

57:58

we need to go to Vania, obviously. and

58:00

the weezer basically confirmed it. Lewis

58:03

slash Robert is awake. I

58:05

have questions for him, but I'm going to do

58:08

it away from Carol. I think in the meantime,

58:10

like maybe Chip is going to go take care

58:12

of Carol. And then we can all depart. Let's

58:14

do that. Yeah, okay. Chip picks up Carol's body.

58:17

Takes her to far away from the rest of

58:19

the group, finds it pretty easy. He can rest

58:21

her under that for a while. Not

58:24

much words are spoken. He

58:27

just takes a moment and then... Makes

58:29

sure she looks comfortable. And then he

58:31

leaves. As you stand to leave, a

58:33

small ball of light emerges from Carol's

58:36

chest. And her body slowly dissolves into

58:38

sparkling green dust. And after

58:40

a moment, the ball of light fades away

58:42

from these. Alright, well, Chip enjoys that moment.

58:44

Kind of takes in the scenery. Takes a

58:47

couple of deep breaths and continues to his

58:49

group. Okay, does no nobody say anything in

58:51

a loud voice to ruin the moment with

58:53

Chip, okay? I

58:56

know some of you are tempted to do this at some

58:58

point, but none of you do it, okay? I

59:00

have a genuine question. Do you care how something

59:02

like the blurbal blade... Like the arm blade of

59:04

blurbal? Arm blade of blurbal? No, she had a

59:06

dagger, but that was it. I had

59:08

already searched her and kind of got everything. So you

59:10

got the dagger? She had

59:13

a dagger when you saw her in Talon

59:16

headquarters. That dagger was not on

59:18

her body when you searched it after she came out

59:20

of chemo. Yeah, I don't suspect I'm

59:22

going to get any loot off of Carol. No, no, no,

59:24

I was actually... I had different intentions, but this is interesting

59:26

that the dagger's not there. So

59:29

Chip walks back quietly to the group,

59:31

pulls out his arm blade, and holds it up

59:33

to Robert's neck and says, Why didn't you tell

59:35

me about this? You had been working

59:37

with her, you gave her a disguise, you didn't tell me about

59:39

any of this? Well, you

59:42

know, it's crazy confidentiality. And

59:44

I'm like, that's why, why? But

59:46

she's got the hip up on. But

59:49

like genuinely, like, Chip is like, you

59:51

knew so much that you could have

59:53

told me, and I find out in

59:55

a posthumous letter. Carol probably kept him

59:57

to a secret scene, he was a

59:59

TV star. is it following her wishes?

1:00:01

Sorry for your own safety, Chip. I

1:00:03

understand your anger. I'm with Chip. I

1:00:06

apologize. I did nothing out of

1:00:08

ill will or had any intentions in the

1:00:10

video. But my

1:00:13

decision to do what you would with

1:00:15

the information is

1:00:18

not mine. If you have any other

1:00:20

information, now would be the time to

1:00:22

share it. I am not messing around,

1:00:24

Robert. I have no knowledge of the

1:00:26

device. No way. I

1:00:30

think our next step is

1:00:32

to investigate this. You

1:00:34

didn't know it was on it? No. I had

1:00:36

nothing to do with this find. And you've never seen

1:00:38

anything like it? No. Do you recognize

1:00:40

the decision? Well, the

1:00:42

decision was from Vania. Seems

1:00:45

we're all needed in Vania. And

1:00:47

if I am not mistaken, I'll

1:00:49

find ourselves on Mount Ignis, the

1:00:52

village of Vania at the top of this bridge.

1:00:54

But I'll accept her. I was very pleased with

1:00:56

something. Are

1:00:58

we camping here for the night? Or are we pressing

1:01:00

on? I'm still recovering. I'll

1:01:03

follow your lead. We had a

1:01:05

long rest until I go. But are we doing OK? I

1:01:07

wouldn't mind a long rest so I

1:01:09

could get a certain ability back. Yeah.

1:01:11

OK. All right.

1:01:14

That's right. We

1:01:17

pushed a lot of buttons in the last episode trying

1:01:19

to have new ability. Oh, right. Chip is going to

1:01:21

holster the arm blade, let Robert go. He's

1:01:23

just going to step away and say, let's

1:01:25

just take a long rest. May

1:01:28

I make a suggestion? Go ahead,

1:01:30

Barney. Let me make a hut. A

1:01:33

tiny one. No. Wait, wait, wait.

1:01:37

I only ever said that. Let

1:01:39

me read the tiny hut. A

1:01:41

10-foot radius and mobile home dome of four

1:01:43

springs in existence around and above you and

1:01:46

remain stationary for the duration of the spell

1:01:48

ends if you leave the area. Nine creatures,

1:01:50

a medium size or smaller, can fit inside

1:01:52

the dome with you. The spell fails if

1:01:54

its area includes a larger creature more than

1:01:56

nine creatures and objects within the dome when

1:01:58

you cast the spell. can move through easily.

1:02:01

All other creatures and objects are barred from

1:02:03

passing through it. Spelled another magical effect can't

1:02:05

extend through the dome and be cast through

1:02:07

it. The atmosphere inside the dome is comfortable

1:02:09

and dry regardless of the weather. So it

1:02:11

is genuinely a spell to cast for a

1:02:13

secure place to spend the night. Or

1:02:16

to catch yourself if you're falling from the sky. No it is not. I

1:02:18

said what it is meant or is what I

1:02:21

said. Tiny dome. Okay. That sounds

1:02:23

cool. Let's take a long rest in that. I'm

1:02:25

gonna make a tiny hut. Thank you Barney. It's

1:02:27

like a one minute casting time? I can do

1:02:29

it as a ritual also but yeah it's

1:02:31

one minute. I don't mind. It's just not in

1:02:33

combat. It's not. Yeah. Yeah I was just curious.

1:02:35

Like it wasn't like an hour. Yeah yeah. I

1:02:37

knew it was like normal than a, it wasn't

1:02:39

just an action. Like it did took a while.

1:02:41

Yeah it's one minute. But yeah but if it's

1:02:43

a ritual it's 10 minutes I think right? Yeah

1:02:45

but I mean we're not, I can just cast

1:02:48

it because then I'll get myself the ball to

1:02:50

back. Okay. Yeah. So you all decide to check

1:02:52

for the night. What do we do now? Do

1:02:54

all you need to sleep? Or who sleeps? Who

1:02:56

doesn't sleep? I don't sleep. I think regardless Chip

1:02:58

is just gonna, he doesn't need to take a

1:03:00

long rest. He's going to. He went through a lot. I'm

1:03:02

gonna take a long rest. Barney? Yeah

1:03:05

I'll take a long rest and then uh, Barney

1:03:08

will let Stinker's come

1:03:11

hang out. Give me Cuddle

1:03:13

Stinker. Oh! That's cute. Well

1:03:15

I'm just gonna go have Cuddle. It's not cuddling.

1:03:17

Look he's white. He wants to cuddle. He's just

1:03:19

not shooing him away or anything. Let him onto

1:03:22

the cot. Let him onto the cot. That's a

1:03:24

big sign of affection from a grumpy old man

1:03:26

like Barney. Yeah. That's true.

1:03:28

I can relate. So you all take your long

1:03:30

rest. During that time I teach Gigi about all

1:03:32

the different kinds of flowers. Ooh. What

1:03:35

kinds? Like how? Is wheat flour. Oh I thought

1:03:37

you meant. Oh I thought you meant flour. I

1:03:40

thought W-E-R. Another type of flour wizard. Yeah.

1:03:42

Flir. Flir. Flir. Flir. What about oval nuts?

1:03:44

Oval nuts. Oval nuts! I have

1:03:46

oval nuts in my inventory. We

1:03:49

should eat some. So you all take your long

1:03:51

rest and as you're relaxing... Where

1:04:00

are you? You don't recognize this place. What?

1:04:02

You're like, see a city of

1:04:04

shadows with a tall black spire in the

1:04:06

center. You spot two adult humanoids

1:04:08

talking to each other. Maybe

1:04:10

they know where you are? Hello?

1:04:13

Can I get an approach then? Yeah. You want to

1:04:15

approach and try to talk to them? Yeah. Hi.

1:04:19

I'm Barney. I

1:04:21

seem to have a lot lost myself. Where

1:04:24

is this? Make a... Let's

1:04:27

call it a... Just make a charisma

1:04:29

check. I'm sorry, that's a six. Six.

1:04:32

That's about par for Barney. It

1:04:35

seems like the two people are entirely preoccupied

1:04:38

and they don't pay you any mind. It's almost

1:04:40

like they can't hear you. Hello? What

1:04:42

do they look like? Dick, now that I'm closer.

1:04:45

It's hard to pick up. The female's back

1:04:47

is to you. All you can see is

1:04:49

her black hair. But the male has a

1:04:51

fanciful face with pale skin and blonde curly

1:04:53

hair. He's wearing a tailored black suit with

1:04:55

matching hats exporting a fancy red necktie. Do

1:04:58

you have your yarn? Your

1:05:00

yarn? How do I

1:05:02

remember your lore better than you do?

1:05:04

Yeah, where I wander up to people

1:05:07

and talk to them on a whole yarn.

1:05:09

Well, that's the past of time. Oh,

1:05:11

OK. I'm trying to figure out where I am. OK. Excuse

1:05:14

me. It's rude to ignore

1:05:16

people. Can I like... Little

1:05:19

boomer move. Look who's there. I

1:05:22

don't think I can. I am a victim. I

1:05:25

will be ignored. I

1:05:29

am inserting myself into this. And

1:05:31

I'm mad that you're not included in

1:05:33

this. I'm the protagonist. It just seemed

1:05:35

like an old man think that it's...

1:05:38

Yeah, you're doing good. The two people,

1:05:40

you know, it's one male, the other

1:05:42

female. It appears like they're arguing. They're

1:05:44

in a heated debate. But it's hard

1:05:46

to make out their words like they're

1:05:48

muffles. It's not the hour. It's

1:05:50

not ours? Why don't you roll

1:05:52

me a history check with Advantage? G.T.

1:05:56

You sure you don't want double advantage? Good. Now five minutes,

1:05:58

take us. I'm sorry. Sorry,

1:06:00

I know you're trying to deliver and you gave me

1:06:02

advantage. I have an inspiration dice. I can use it

1:06:04

You want me use my Yeah,

1:06:09

it appears here and rolls your

1:06:11

Christmas for you I'll do it

1:06:23

Feel like you wanted me It

1:06:25

might be like a perception check that chip was doing

1:06:27

that he had to do his lucky a few times

1:06:29

Yeah, you could find out that you know any number

1:06:32

of things here. It is. This is your landlord perhaps

1:06:38

Or is it you think you've met this

1:06:40

person before but it seems like a lifetime

1:06:42

ago The man is the man the man

1:06:44

you can't see the female spy How

1:06:47

are my feelings person you know you can you

1:06:49

you might have not remember them, but you have

1:06:52

a Emotional yeah, you

1:06:54

try to think about your feelings to them, but

1:06:56

then everything goes dark. Oh I

1:06:59

had blonde hair in a suit pale yeah

1:07:01

a tailored black suit. That's it Barney.

1:07:04

That's the end RIP Okay,

1:07:10

1:07:29

1:07:32

1:07:34

wrong hour is what I thought they said it's

1:07:36

not the hour or it's not

1:07:38

ours And you couldn't tell what they were

1:07:40

saying and so Gus said that's what it

1:07:42

sounded like it seemed like yeah question You

1:07:44

said that Elga was from Vampyre Vampyre. That's

1:07:47

in Vania Correct, we define

1:07:49

that so is Vania a like

1:07:51

a county or a state in

1:07:54

Vampyre's Vans so Village

1:07:57

1:07:59

within Like as a like it's

1:08:01

a building a neighborhood a development. Yeah, it's like

1:08:04

beak against your face He's

1:08:30

still carrying the note tied to his leg. Okay.

1:08:33

Well, let's take a look at that note. Oh, it's

1:08:35

your own handwriting chip It's

1:08:37

a simple poem meant for Carol that reads What

1:08:47

in private After

1:09:40

you read it, you know you look back at skipper and

1:09:42

skipper seems distracted His head is turned back towards the

1:09:44

house almost like he hears something that you don't I'm

1:09:47

gonna go check it out. Yeah Hopefully,

1:09:50

oh hopefully. Yeah, I like me sneak

1:09:52

up to like a window or sneak back

1:09:54

inside Like what do you mean? So at

1:09:56

this point we've both given up. We're together.

1:09:59

So like I don't know I still

1:10:01

have this like assassin instinct so I'm gonna just kind of

1:10:03

like quietly approach not

1:10:06

like full-blown like lurking but

1:10:08

just like you know soft footsteps and hide

1:10:10

around quarters yeah why don't you make

1:10:13

a stealth check okay Wow back

1:10:15

in Carol's life how fun wish

1:10:18

I could get more of that in this show I

1:10:22

have advantage on stealth at the 13 and

1:10:24

13 my roles are always the same I

1:10:26

mean you

1:10:31

had a good one for when it mattered yeah

1:10:33

sure you sneak up to a window and you

1:10:35

know try to like peer in and see what

1:10:37

you can see and you know what

1:10:39

you can hear and you see that

1:10:42

Carol is talking in hushed tones to someone else

1:10:44

inside the house it's hard to make off what

1:10:46

they were saying though and you

1:10:48

noticed the man hands Carol something small

1:10:50

but it definitely flashed in the light as

1:10:52

if shiny is it the pen from

1:10:54

it could be it seems like it's a

1:10:56

very similar similar side what does it look

1:10:59

like it's hard to see him the drapes

1:11:01

are blocking him a bit you know

1:11:03

you only get little bits and pieces of his

1:11:05

look okay well you do notice that Carol is

1:11:07

not meeting his gaze she's looking down at her

1:11:09

feet and the other person does

1:11:11

have their back to you but it doesn't seem like

1:11:13

they're large in a blue coat

1:11:15

with a high collar I feel like as

1:11:17

soon as I make

1:11:19

a move to go into the house

1:11:23

my dream is gonna go out I'm gonna go I'm gonna go

1:11:25

in and investigate she seems troubled I

1:11:27

don't think that she's doing anything wrong but I feel like

1:11:29

this guy's making her feel like something is wrong how do

1:11:31

you what work what do you mean you and you go

1:11:33

in like how do you how do you want to approach

1:11:36

it how many open windows in the house yeah that's what

1:11:38

you that's what he's looking in right yeah you're looking in

1:11:40

one of the windows right now open yeah I'll

1:11:42

crack it open hey guys how's it going

1:11:45

Carol looks at you rather

1:11:47

oh goodness I thought that

1:11:50

you were waiting outside just

1:11:53

check it if you're doing okay honey bunny

1:11:56

oh yes everything fine I'm

1:11:59

perceiving she's on You make an insight check. You

1:12:02

get the feeling that she's

1:12:04

nervous. Hey

1:12:06

big fella, can I get you

1:12:08

anything to drink? He starts

1:12:10

to turn around to address you and everything

1:12:12

goes dark. Okay. Is

1:12:16

that a large wearing a blue coat with

1:12:18

a high collar? Yeah. Alchemist

1:12:21

got a coat. Alchemist got a

1:12:23

gray coat. Great suit. Great suit. Oh,

1:12:26

there's no way that I can... Sure, it's not like an orange suit. Orange?

1:12:29

What, you think like dumb and dumber?

1:12:31

Did I see a head or anything like that? The

1:12:34

collar was very high so it was hard to make

1:12:36

out, but you did see a little bit of like

1:12:38

the top of a head. And when you say large,

1:12:40

is that D&D large or just like big tall guys?

1:12:42

A large man. A large person.

1:12:44

So still like a medium sized humanoid,

1:12:47

but large for that. I'm not trying to

1:12:49

milk details out of this, but I do

1:12:51

think it would be in character for Chip

1:12:54

to really take in a lot of what

1:12:56

this guy looks like. Like down to like

1:12:58

shoe size, specific height, hair color. Do I

1:13:00

get any of that stuff? Because it's

1:13:02

like, that's not how dreams work, man. It's

1:13:05

all weird. You see

1:13:07

like very full thick dark hair.

1:13:10

Very full thick dark hair. Black hair. Okay.

1:13:14

And feet, say size, it's

1:13:17

a large person, big shoes, size 14. Oh,

1:13:19

and he's bald, right? Yes. Okay.

1:13:23

Okay. He is a

1:13:25

crack thunder roars overhead. Your

1:13:27

feathers are from the incessant storm. But

1:13:30

this what you signed up for. The mission comes first. You

1:13:33

peer down from your rooftop first to see if the

1:13:35

coast is clear before you try to sneak in through

1:13:37

the window. Go and roll me a perception check. Are

1:13:39

you like me for

1:13:42

real? You

1:13:46

see a brownie man around the corner and stop

1:13:48

just below you right outside the window. They look

1:13:51

huge like they can handle themselves, but you notice

1:13:53

an itch in their step. I go for the

1:13:55

leg. Ooh, go ahead and make

1:13:57

a, we'll call it like an

1:13:59

unarmed strong. Yeah,

1:14:02

that connects. Go ahead and roll

1:14:04

damage. You

1:14:06

hit the large person. You said you went for the legs, right? Yeah.

1:14:10

Yeah, and it kind of knocks him off balance. He's big, so

1:14:12

he doesn't totally fall down, but he definitely like, you know, when

1:14:14

you knee kind of goes out and you like stumble a little

1:14:16

bit. I do another attack. Oh, okay. If he comes down, I

1:14:18

go for the head. Okay.

1:14:21

Stand leg. I'm David Fincher Sherlocking. This is

1:14:23

what I'm doing. Did David Fincher Sherlock? Yeah.

1:14:27

He did? Wow. Sorry, Guy Ritchie.

1:14:29

Okay, okay. Guy Ritchie.

1:14:31

Guy Ritchie. That

1:14:34

hit. I only did five. Okay. The

1:14:36

large person is hitting the head and

1:14:38

you know, covers their face a little bit at the

1:14:40

site for a site of impact and

1:14:43

begins yelling out in a rather barbaric

1:14:45

voice. That's fake. That's

1:14:49

fake. And tries to grapple you. Do

1:14:52

I have time to react to the grapple? Yeah.

1:14:54

Okay. I want to do a serial thing.

1:14:56

Ooh, what does that do? It makes me intangible. I

1:14:59

think it goes to this point. Oh, can I? That's

1:15:01

a good question. That's actually a very good question. It

1:15:03

could be from life. You attempt

1:15:05

to, you know, ethereal face, but the

1:15:08

person, this large man, still puts their

1:15:10

hands right on you. It's

1:15:13

not, you know, there, I rolled poorly.

1:15:15

So from a metagame perspective, so they

1:15:17

try to grapple you, but they're

1:15:19

unable to firmly get a hand on you.

1:15:21

Are we indoors? No, you're outside. You're

1:15:24

right. You're out by a window. This

1:15:26

is your gun with, Mommy. And it's

1:15:28

night? Yes. Could I grapple

1:15:30

them and fly up? Yeah, sure. Go ahead and

1:15:32

make a grapple check. And I'm going to oppose

1:15:35

it. I didn't make you oppose it, because I

1:15:37

don't want to do it. Do we get a

1:15:39

physical description of the situation? Large. Large.

1:15:41

Yeah, dark part. Hey, me, Dreamshin. Does

1:15:44

he have dark hair and a blue

1:15:46

coat? I did. That's

1:15:48

a 10. So I'm going to reroll that

1:15:50

and get a 23. Is that the inspiration

1:15:53

back there? Yes, it is. Yeah,

1:15:57

you did better than me. You know, you grab on.

1:16:00

under the person and you said

1:16:02

he would start flying up? As you,

1:16:04

you know, grapple them and begin flying up, you hear

1:16:06

a loud crash and the body is thrust through the

1:16:08

window and lands with a thud on the wet pavement.

1:16:11

He strains to breathe as he looks up at

1:16:13

you, his body demaciated and skin tight. Something

1:16:16

small and silver flashes in his hand, maybe

1:16:18

a pin? He's not what he is.

1:16:22

Seems this

1:16:24

is his

1:16:27

world. A

1:16:30

sharp paint sears from your neck down through your

1:16:33

body. Your veins throb a thickly green color and

1:16:35

you feel your life force being drained from your

1:16:37

body. The world around you

1:16:39

goes fuzzy and the last thing you see

1:16:41

are two fangs dripping above a blood red

1:16:43

necktie. Oh wow! We

1:16:45

just witnessed Matid's death. Go ahead and make

1:16:48

a perception check, Matid. This

1:16:50

was a separate person, I was grappling somebody

1:16:52

and a separate person came through. Oh interesting.

1:16:54

He said the two fangs were dripping something

1:16:56

about the necktie? Dripping above a blood red

1:16:59

necktie. Blood red necktie.

1:17:02

24 on perception check. Without a doubt

1:17:04

you're immersed in a warm liquid and you've been

1:17:06

here before. You're even able to make

1:17:08

out other figures floating in the same fluid with

1:17:10

you. Many of them seem similar. A

1:17:13

shadow eclipses you from above. You see

1:17:15

watery silhouettes walking around just beyond the

1:17:17

surface. They look like people.

1:17:20

One of them stops and seeks to look down at you. Wait,

1:17:24

can you see me? Oh the person says

1:17:26

that? Yeah. Is this your tooth? Oh

1:17:28

man, I don't even know what it would do. Where am

1:17:30

I? You try to speak but it comes

1:17:33

out as gurgles. I'm sorry, I

1:17:35

can't understand you but

1:17:37

don't worry, it's almost

1:17:40

time. And

1:17:42

with that everything goes white. Oh. Gurgle

1:17:45

gurgle? That's when Matid went to hell. And

1:17:51

they could not handle me so they sent me back. Oh.

1:17:54

We're in the bad place. What's

1:17:57

that sound? It's like

1:17:59

a. whimpering beast? The

1:18:02

door is slightly ajar, and you can peek

1:18:04

inside. I peek inside? Hola,

1:18:06

perception check with advantage. Ignore it. With

1:18:10

advantage? Yeah. Did

1:18:12

you scoff at an 18? No, because my second roll

1:18:14

was a 1. Oh, oh, oh. So

1:18:16

I'm glad I got the 18. The

1:18:18

wind rattles the window panes, the rooms

1:18:20

almost enveloped in shadows. The whimpering

1:18:23

seems to be coming from the corner. Amongst

1:18:25

cascading shadows across the room you spot a

1:18:27

moonlit petite bed in the corner and hear

1:18:29

whimpering coming from beneath the blanket. And

1:18:32

you might get a closer look and see a young

1:18:34

girl with dark features and jet black hair. It's your

1:18:36

sister, Avena. She must be dreaming. Uh,

1:18:38

okay. Could I tell if this is a memory

1:18:40

or if it's like current events? Like does this

1:18:42

seem familiar to Elga? Or a vision of

1:18:45

the future. Why don't you pinch yourself? I pinch myself. Ow! You take

1:18:47

one point and down. And I'm afraid not to say I'm afraid. Roll

1:18:49

your, you have a top, a little. Oh, my

1:18:51

inception. Two piercing blue eyes

1:18:53

bolt open and stare straight at you.

1:18:55

With lightning speed the little

1:19:05

figure lunges from the bed in the corner onto

1:19:07

the ceiling and quickly crawls along it like a

1:19:10

spider heading straight for you. And

1:19:12

this is not my sister. This

1:19:14

was the person you saw as your sister.

1:19:16

So you said that she had dark features

1:19:19

and jet black hair and then two blue

1:19:21

eyes open? Two, yeah, two piercing blue eyes

1:19:23

bolt open and stare straight at you. It's her eyes.

1:19:26

Yeah. Okay. And she jumped onto the ceiling

1:19:28

and... She's got like, like, exorcist girl on the ceiling. Um,

1:19:31

this doesn't seem like it's really

1:19:33

happening. I don't know if I've ever seen

1:19:35

you do this, Avena. Maybe you

1:19:37

should come down from there? Make

1:19:39

a persuasion check. Okay. Rather

1:19:42

than her coming down, suddenly the room spins around

1:19:44

and you feel yourself fall upwards onto the ceiling.

1:19:46

Okay, this is fun. Make a dexterity saving throw.

1:19:48

Oh, my gosh. Ooh, six. The change in orientation

1:19:50

is too much for you, so you

1:19:53

fall prone onto the

1:19:55

ceiling. feeling

1:20:01

and you take two pieces of bludgeoning damage. Get

1:20:03

the beat up. I'm in a long rest

1:20:05

right now, what's that? I'm gonna wake up with less

1:20:07

hit points than I started with. The little

1:20:09

girl lunges at you with her mouth wide open

1:20:12

as if ready to chomp. Whoa. But

1:20:14

it makes no sense. She's not a vampire. And

1:20:16

with a trap, you feel her teeth sink into

1:20:18

your arm and your mind begins to spin much

1:20:20

like the room. Do you do?

1:20:22

Beep. Everything

1:20:25

goes black and you suddenly wake up lying

1:20:27

on the ground amongst your party members once

1:20:29

more. Hey Barney, we're never standing in this

1:20:32

hut again. That was the worst day I've

1:20:34

ever gotten. Is it gone? Ow. You

1:20:38

feel a shooting pain in your arm and your head

1:20:40

and you look down and see two fresh teeth marks

1:20:42

in your arm. Whoa. Okay. Something

1:20:48

very physical, something

1:20:51

I'm not drinking about. In

1:20:54

fact, you feel like a little bit of life

1:20:56

has drained from your body. So your

1:20:58

total hit point maximum drops by five hit points.

1:21:01

Whoa. Your maximum? Yeah.

1:21:04

Is that permanent? For now. Okay.

1:21:06

If you guys can stop like goofing about, just let us

1:21:08

have a happy day. Can we go

1:21:10

to like a, you know, hex flags or

1:21:13

something? What's the growth dad version of

1:21:15

a happy place? I like the day that

1:21:17

I had recently where I got a new kitty. That

1:21:19

was a nice day. That was a nice day. I

1:21:21

think, yeah, no, no one died that day. Yeah,

1:21:24

yeah. Everyone in my dream was so

1:21:26

rude. There's this dark haired

1:21:28

woman and then this man

1:21:30

who's a tailored black suit and a red tie

1:21:33

and blonde haired. He just completely ignored

1:21:35

me. Big man, big blue jacket, black,

1:21:37

dark hair. Talking to my wife. I don't

1:21:39

know why you give her a pin. My

1:21:42

sister bit me. Matid?

1:21:44

I think I had a dream of how I died.

1:21:47

Oh, that's way bigger than any of my

1:21:49

dreams. That's the end of the big deal.

1:21:52

How about that to you, Matid? I

1:21:54

think I think I might have been poisoned the same way

1:21:56

as Carol. Oh. Uh.

1:21:59

I did not. No,

1:22:01

it was a there was that figure

1:22:03

as well in my dream with the

1:22:05

he had a red necktie Was he

1:22:07

also ignoring you rudely? No, actually his

1:22:10

attention was quite on me quite a

1:22:12

lot Robert Did you have any stupid

1:22:14

dreams if Robert's dead? I'm okay with that

1:22:18

1:25:56

for watching! I'm

1:26:00

back from the market. Honey,

1:26:08

do you mind

1:26:11

helping me unload? A

1:26:14

little early for a

1:26:17

nap, sweetheart, don't you

1:26:20

think? I just realized that

1:26:24

you can hide from us. You know we're

1:26:27

always. Honey, I'm back

1:26:29

from the market. Honey,

1:26:34

do you mind helping me unload? Honey,

1:26:40

I'm back from the

1:26:43

1:27:02

I'll do whatever you want. Just don't

1:27:04

hurt him. Oh, that's splendid news. See,

1:27:07

ladies, I told you we'd all be

1:27:10

fast friends. So who's your

1:27:12

target? Let's

1:27:15

just say I've been meaning to discuss some rather

1:27:17

grave issues.
