WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000 Sam. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Brian in the Toronto house. This. These are my bitches. Say hi, bitches. 2 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.000 Hi, bitches. 3 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:23.000 And why don't you all introduce who you are, what you're playing. Well, who you think you are, what you think you're playing. You know, the good stuff. Go aubry. And then you just popcorn it. 4 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:42.000 Hi, I'm Aubrey. I feel like you should know me by now. I am going to be playing Shrike, who uses she, her pronouns and is a human duskwalker champion of iniquity. And I will popcorn to the next person I see on my screen. Sparlock. 5 00:01:42.000 --> 00:02:14.000 Hello, I am Sparlock. I use he, him pronouns. And I am playing tic tac, the Jotun keeper. Jotun born, presumably some sort of ranger and who uses hehim pronouns as well. And we will go off to Alyssa, apparently. 6 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:31.000 Hello, hello, I'm Alyssa. My pronouns are they, them. And I am playing Cora, who uses any pronouns. And Cora is a beautiful, clean sprite and a witch. And I will pass it to Faris. 7 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.000 Hello, I am Faris. 8 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:48.000 How you see her pronouns? And I'm playing Compy, who is allegedly Dragonet Magus. And probably maybe uses he him pronouns. Who can say Dusty, have you gone? 9 00:02:48.000 --> 00:03:09.000 I have not. Hi, I'm Dusty. I'm here. I use they them pronouns. I'm playing Joe Gunslinger. Maybe spellshot. They are here. They have an arm. Well, they have two, but they have an arm in their back. 10 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:36.000 Mandy. Hi, everybody. I'm Mandy. Or the Mandy. My pronouns are they, any, and I am playing curio. The cat folk, presumably oracle pronouns. They, them for curio. That's it, right? Nobody else. Everybody else went, right? 11 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.000 We 12 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:50.000 kind of. Nice. Alrighty. What happened last time? 13 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.000 Hello, we welcome. Wait, what am I doing? 14 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.000 The recap. 15 00:03:56.000 --> 00:05:38.000 Yeah, the recap. I don't know why I tried to do the intro again last time. We had an interesting time where we discovered we exist and vaguely discovered more or less parts of who we might be, where we all woke up in a gross, sticky, dark cave. Some of us found it dark, some of us found it less dark, depending on your degree of dark vision. Most everyone had low light vision and it was sticky and it was covered in pudding or arguably perhaps meat, depending on whom you asked, because it tasted different to everyone, which was, you know, normal things. Normal things that you like to have your walls tasting like that would get attacked by some random people. Honestly, a very strange collection of individual trying to eat My poor little guy. Thankfully, the group at large decided we shouldn't eat the Little guy. Little guy does not deserve to be eaten yet. And so we killed the random people trying to eat at least one of us, if not more of us. And then some of us had some flashbacks into whom we might possibly be and why we could possibly be here. Something to do with tender flesh. Question mark. Probably not a worrisome word or name. Definitely not someone who is very powerful and ancient and is known to be a very serious threat. Probably not a problem. And. Yeah, and then we discovered we have nicknames. And that's all I recall. 16 00:05:38.000 --> 00:06:16.000 Yeah. Wonderful. Speaking of wonderful, a memory for you. Tic Tac is how we're going to start this session. You see, you're thinking. You're thinking and walking. Things that you can do at the same time. You're thinking back. Back to the one thing you truly remember. To seek permission to lead a hunt, to lead a research expedition. 17 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000 You 18 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:26.000 remember that in your. In your bag. Somewhere in your bag, you know you 19 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.000 have 20 00:06:30.000 --> 00:07:25.000 a emblem of some sort, more like a patch, a patch ripped off from a uniform. You know that you were one of the lucky few to be sponsored by the House of Thain and you work as their vassal. The House of Thain, you know, being one of the most important houses under the Order of Grotesqueries, you are important. This mission you are on is also important. And so perhaps you walk with a bit more purpose than the others. Are you leading the pack or are you. Where are you in this marching order? 21 00:07:25.000 --> 00:08:08.000 I think I am leading ahead, Especially as I'm feeling this confidence, specifically, like, not too far ahead, but I'm lumbering, like, I don't know, maybe 15, 20ft ahead of everyone. Like, I. I feel like I know where we're going more than the other people, and I'm pretty fast on my feet, so they don't have much to say about that. 22 00:08:08.000 --> 00:09:04.000 And in your. In your bag, you can kind of feel the outline of that very thick, very important book. And you know that it is also important to your mission right now. It holds information. You hold information. Perhaps the most information out of anyone here. When you look at the. Your companions, perhaps, how do you feel? What do they. What do they look like to you? Like, not, like, not like their ancestries and stuff. I mean, like, if you were to vibe check the group, now that you feel a certain way about yourselves, how do you feel? 23 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:17.000 My, I think my first instinct is to feel superior, and I don't know how I feel about that first instinct. 24 00:09:17.000 --> 00:10:16.000 That's all right. You don't know where you are. You Barely know who you are. Second guessing yourself is maybe natural. Who knows? But I'm just leaving you with that information. As we kind of go upon the rest of the marching order, you guys have space to essentially do the three man walk on the street or on a sidewalk where you block the whole fucking sidewalk. And then you have to push back into two or even a single file. But like in this case, nobody's coming at you. So you could walk rather than single file or anything like that. You can kind of walk as a little. As a little gaggle, if you will. How? Besides. Besides Tic Tac. Because we kind of gathered how you're feeling. How's everybody else feeling? You've been walking for a bit in the dark or the poorly lit dark. 25 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.000 We have the Wayfinder with light on it. 26 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.000 You do. 27 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.000 So we have a little bit of light at least. 28 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:31.000 Is anybody else using any form of light or are you all solely relying on this Wayfinder? 29 00:10:31.000 --> 00:11:14.000 I would say that, like at one point during this travel, Joe was like that switch they found like behind their ear, tucked in where they could like turn off their smelling and their tastes. They found another one on the opposite ear and realized they could turn it on and they just start like emanating light from like just their body. And so they have turned that on. So just to give everyone more light, has not commented on it whatsoever. Just to be clear, 30 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:31.000 Kora has not turned on any sort of light, but is also not walking. She has perched herself on Tic Tac's shoulder with or without approval, and is hitching ride. 31 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.000 If I recall correctly, Compy is also hitching a ride with Shrike. 32 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.000 Yes, I believe so. 33 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.000 Because it was your Wayfinder holding the Wayfinder, huh? 34 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.000 Yeah, I'm holding your Wayfinder. 35 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.000 Yes. 36 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.000 Wife way. 37 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.000 What is the difference? 38 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:55.000 Your wife finder. Yes, yes. What about you, Curio? 39 00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:12.000 Unless anybody else is pointedly making themselves the last person in the group, I would like to be the last person in this group. I do not wish to be in the front by any means. 40 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:18.000 Is there any other reason why you want to be the last in this group? 41 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:25.000 You know, if anything goes wrong, I will abandon these people. 42 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:31.000 Yeah, yeah, Ironically. 43 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:49.000 And that's how. That's how Curio is feeling right now. Like, okay, I need. I. I need an. I need an out. If something happens. I don't know what's going on here. The safest place for me to be is right where I am. So fully strategy. Putting emotion aside. 44 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:59.000 Okay, okay, that's fair. I think it's funny that the Cat folk is the tail end of the group. But like, you know, puns. 45 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:05.000 Do I get inspiration for that? Do I get a hero point for that? 46 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:12.000 Yeah, why the not? I mean, like, you can start off with two. We. We get a hero point every. Every hour as a reminder, y'. 47 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.000 All. 48 00:13:14.000 --> 00:14:35.000 Oh, which by the way, see, I was debating using this mechanic at all, but I, you know, why not? If you would like to trade in hero points for memories, I will allow that. Of course, you know that means you are trading in a reroll or get out of death free card, but you know, it's gamble as you see fit that is on the table now just to make it vocalized so you may do so. But now that we have a. You're all together, you're walking forward. That's the direction you're walking. Where the Wayfinder tells you specifically. Right. Yes, you will. When you look at this wayfinder, firstly, it's. It is well taken care of. It's not necessarily new, but it's not worn out. It just. It does look nice though. It is. I've mentioned before, it's the Wayfinder of Rescue specifically and Shrike. You want to give me a perception? 49 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:43.000 Yeah, I can do that. That is a natural 20 for 32. 50 00:14:43.000 --> 00:15:35.000 Stinky. So this is something that perhaps Compy hasn't noticed yet because you haven't had the chance to really look at your Wayfinder. But for you, Shrike, since it's like right in front of your face, you can see that this wayfinder actually has some initials and a little message kind of inscribed in it. The initials are ct, the letter C and T and the little message is so, you know, so you always know your way home. Kind of inscribed nicely in like a half spherical shape. 51 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:55.000 Yeah. And I think noticing it, yeah, I think noticing it, I would turn towards Compy on my shoulder and say, does this mean anything to you? I say, as I point out the initials and the. The quote, 52 00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:10.000 Compie would consider it mull over the like two one and a half memories that he has and then say, yes, I. I actually think it does. Pleasant. 53 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.000 That's good. 54 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:21.000 This, this means. That means that the memories have a weight of pleasantness and that they are leading towards good things. 55 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.000 We can only hope. 56 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:37.000 I. I have much hope. Because when you are lacking all things, what can you do except compensate in the best ways? 57 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.000 He said it, not me. 58 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:57.000 Also, the copy, when it's pointed out to you, the initial C and T, you can, you can kind of infer it's just Chantao. Yeah. But you would know that her name is one word. It's just like. Yeah, it's just. It just makes more sense. Like, her name is one word. 59 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.000 Okay, okay. 60 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:26.000 Yeah. But, yeah, your wayfinder does have light. It does have those little initials on it, which you are now aware of and going to move on. You know what? Let's ask a couple of y' all how you're feeling. Actually, Kora. 61 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.000 Bad. 62 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.000 Bad. 63 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:36.000 If you have more narration, I'll listen to it. But I'll tell you how Cora is feeling. It's bad. Bad. 64 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.000 Why are you feeling bad, Korra? 65 00:17:39.000 --> 00:18:11.000 Because we're in a gross cave, and I'm sitting on a shoulder that I realize does have sticky slop on it. So I had to re clean myself and clean that portion of Tic Tac's body. And I don't want to be down here, and I don't know anything except for a very distressing memory and some guilt that I think is probably being misconstrued, maybe. 66 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:16.000 Do you want to. You know, you got that offer to trade in a hero point for a memory. 67 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:22.000 Can I trade in someone else's hero? Wait, you're God. It doesn't matter whose hero points it is, right? 68 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:36.000 I am God. But you could also, like, you could also find a way to take someone's hero point. That much I'll let you know. That y' all could do. Remember, you can manifest things here, so 69 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.000 it's called murder 70 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.000 Tomato. 71 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.000 Get their hero points. 72 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:50.000 Yeah, it's the same thing. I'll trade in my own hero point. 73 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:57.000 Your own hero point. All right. Or a memory for a memory. You want to roll a D12, then? 74 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.000 Yes, I. 75 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:33.000 As you're sitting on Tic Tacs now. Clean shoulder. Specifically the left shoulder. Not necessarily, like, because that's important. It's more like, because you clean that shoulder. So I just want Tic Tac to know only your left shoulder is clean. You have a lot of time to think, because unless you're making conversation, this is a very silent and eerie walk. 76 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.000 Or. 77 00:19:34.000 --> 00:20:01.000 Yeah, walk. And so with your moments to yourself and nothing but yourself, perhaps someone or something gives you a moment to think, and you remember that you were once a follower of a God. 78 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.000 Not a. Not a. 79 00:20:03.000 --> 00:21:35.000 Not a God, actually, more so a demigod. And you understand the difference between a God and a demigod, despite them all being under the same pantheon. A God is true. A God doesn't die. A God does not need worshipers to exist, but a demigod does. A demigod needs worshipers a demigod needs to be believed in for their extraordinary powers. And Yuso believed in the one and only, the maverick, the demigod of the wilds and freedom and running around and not really giving a shit. The. The prince of all things wild is their name. And you still somewhere identify with that feeling of freedom, with that yearning of it. And inside this cave, these walls seem to close in on you. Despite being the size of a thumb, on a good day, you have so much space and you have nothing at all. And now he seems so very far away. 80 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.000 Memory. 81 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:51.000 And to be clear, when I'm following a God of the wilds, of all things wild, that is more the hedonistic thrills side of wild and less the being out in nature side. 82 00:21:51.000 --> 00:22:23.000 So the fun part about these gods is that they, they, they, they decide to be a little vague with things because, you know, these, these, these gods. The best way to put it, like to go both ways. So yeah, probably free hedonistic vibes, but like, also maybe like, wow, the forest. What if I frolic? 83 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.000 I mean, at like a glimping situation now. 84 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:44.000 Yeah, maybe. I mean, like, you know, orgy in the woods or g at home. Like everything's the same. It's potato, tomato, you know, if you drink on the road, if you drink in a bar, you're still drinking 85 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.000 it all. 86 00:22:45.000 --> 00:23:07.000 It all makes sense. It all makes sense. This guy also, this God has top surgery scars. I just feel like I. They need to say that nice and chill. They have very. Oh, nice and chill and like no shirts. That's the other one. No shirts. This is one of the gods where I was like, abandon all shirts. 87 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:28.000 Yeah. I think that Korra thinks back to Compy eating all of the goo and is just like, huh, maybe this God is wrong. And there is a difference between eating at home and eating in a cave. 88 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:39.000 You know, Maybe, maybe, maybe. Joe Mama, how are you feeling? 89 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000 Sorry, who was that? 90 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:48.000 Just Joe Mama. How you feeling? 91 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.000 I will do this, Pitaki. I know. 92 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.000 How are you feeling? 93 00:23:53.000 --> 00:25:12.000 Does not feeling There, there. I feel like I does see. Feel like Joe is more focused and just trying to connect dots. They are building out a map in their head and all the points are unknown. They are not necessarily trusting of this group of where they are. They don't know if the random people were trying to eat the dragon for good reason. Are so hungry. I don't know. I wouldn't try to eat the giant if they were hungry. That's a much bigger target. More things to eat than the tiny little guy. And then they think about the arm in their bag and in a regular tone, just going to actually ask while they're walking, did anyone find anything important that they have on them that you don't know about? Body parts, information about stuff, anything like that? 94 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:17.000 What do you consider a body part like an arm? 95 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.000 A severed arm? 96 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.000 Definitely not an arm. 97 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:28.000 No. Frankly, I don't know how I'd carry one. 98 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.000 The only body parts I have are attached to me. 99 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:35.000 I do have a bag of hair though. 100 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.000 You aren't one of them cannibals, are you? 101 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:40.000 Me? 102 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.000 Like you didn't just bring a snack with you? 103 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:51.000 No, I can't taste. Well, I can taste. I can actually taste very precisely. Only when I want to. 104 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.000 Why are you asking specifically about the severed arm? 105 00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.000 Cuz I have a severed arm in my back and I don't know why it's there. 106 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:06.000 Hmm, interesting. Can I see 107 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.000 when we're somewhere safer? I don't know when. 108 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.000 Is it bleeding in your bag? 109 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.000 Is it. Do you know what it's from God. 110 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:18.000 This is Dustin. 111 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.000 Yes. 112 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:29.000 It wasn't bleeding. I remember you said it was stinky and severed, but yeah, it's not bleeding. 113 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:41.000 Perhaps it was. It's a little bit hard to tell because you can't like look in your bag. You, you're, you have, you have like a smuggler sack I believe is what I gave you. So it's bottomless. 114 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.000 So it's like it's in there. I'd have to actually grab it. 115 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's, you know, it's stinky and it's stinky probably because perhaps it is in some form of decay. But it, it didn't feel like wet when you picked it up. 116 00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.000 Okay. 117 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.000 Though to be fair, your hands are a little like Chuck. 118 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:02.000 Chuck. 119 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:45.000 Because you know, you, you got rid of the slime by rubbing your hands in dirt and then wiping it off like that. And that, that still feels like a sensation. Right. So you know, like if. Damn. I, you know, I was like, I was like getting my food ready for the day and I realized that this is like a night, a sensory nightmare for, for people who have sensory issues in this cave. And I was like, I feel bad for, for, for all of that, but yeah, no, it's. So your hands feel a little weird. But I wouldn't say that it was like wet from blood, per se. 120 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:55.000 Okay then. Yeah, I think it was a. It was not actively bleeding. It may be in some sort of decay, but it was in my bag. 121 00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:05.000 What size would you estimate it to be? Or could you pin down what sort of ancestry it comes from? Is this 122 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:14.000 Hard to say. Humanoid. Bigger than you. Many things are including disarmed. It's in my bag. 123 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.000 Not much in the way of narrowing it down. 124 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:37.000 Dusty. You do remember that it was distinctly like the same size ish as yours in terms of. If you were to put the size categories. But you only have up to the elbow, not the whole arm per se. 125 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:51.000 Okay then yeah. I think like humanoid. I mean probably an average height. It was up to the elbow. So the forearm double arm is no gone. 126 00:28:51.000 --> 00:29:02.000 Did you have a chance per se to examine it for any sort of identifying marker such as a tattoo or scarring of some kind? 127 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:11.000 I did not quit really examine it as I woke up not knowing where I was and I understandable heard explosions of fire nearby. 128 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.000 So I went to as one does 129 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:25.000 we must endeavor to take a look at it once we are in a. A better location and perhaps more. More illuminated. 130 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:48.000 Perhaps. Mind you again, Jo is glowing not in the sense that they have like a seven step skincare routine as it's probably like at least 80 lumens if. But they would say we should probably investigate that hair that you said you had. Maybe it's from the same source. Get an idea. 131 00:29:48.000 --> 00:30:04.000 Very difficult to tell. I think all I know is it is important. It's important hair. It was for something. It's well kept. Or was I suppose before it was separate from its source. 132 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.000 Now that I'm asking questions. Do you know why people are trying to eat you? 133 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.000 I have it the foggiest 134 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:24.000 is does anyone know why people are acting of a cannibalistic nature are rather eating sentient pinks Nature 135 00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:35.000 that is Cannibalism. I'm a little bit worried about why you're making that clarification with your severed arm. 136 00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.000 You won. Must be precise when asking questions. 137 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:44.000 It's true. Very helpful. 138 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.000 I'll take that as a no. 139 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:56.000 I. I have no idea. I think we all have roughly the same amount of knowledge that you do 140 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.000 trouble. 141 00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:50.000 It becomes short like very clear shortly that you. You could just keep going on and on and on in this direction. It actually almost feels like you've been walking for somewhere between hours to days. Really hard to distinguish between either, honestly. You do know that you're hungry. You do know that you're thirsty. Some of y' all know that you're sticky because you still got that slime and now blood probably all over you until you finally reach a fork in the road. Two paths. They split somewhat evenly. 142 00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:56.000 Does the Wayfinder Pick a direction. 143 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.000 It does not. 144 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Is one less sticky. 145 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.000 You can make a perception roll. 146 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:19.000 I was also going to ask if can I see if there's any footprints or any signs that people either go one way or the other? 147 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:24.000 That's also a perception role. I believe 148 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:29.000 that is a 36 on a stickiness check. 149 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:36.000 My dice have made choices tonight and that is a natural one for a 13. 150 00:32:36.000 --> 00:34:22.000 Oh, my God. Shrike. It is so hard to tell because as you've been walking and looking at this cave, the. This cave is so contradictory to describe. It feels naturally unnatural. It feels curious, curiously uncurious. Like, by all means, this is a cave with rocks. But also. No, it's not. Sometimes you think you hear wind, but you can't tell if that's breathing. And sometimes you feel like something is watching you. But also you're traveling in a group with about five other individuals. So technically you're all watching you. It's very difficult to say where, if any, has traveled down either paths. And it doesn't help that this wayfinder seems to have stopped working. It still emits light. It's just the indicator is choosing to no longer indicate, which is weird for my stickiness vibe. Check the left cave. Way more sticky. You can tell this by smell. Just a bit more like wafting. 151 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.000 But 152 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:46.000 something vaguely smells like water. And you're sure of it because you smell something different when you smell the slime. Like on a 36. I'll say that your nose is ridiculously trained, you know. 153 00:34:46.000 --> 00:35:18.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely. So there's more of the slime to the. You said left, right, left. There is more of the slime to the left. But I also sense water that way. It might be. Ooh, question. Just because I know we have adventurers gear, are our water bottles filled? 154 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:29.000 So not all of you have the adventurer's gear? Only a specific. I think two of you do, but you haven't checked. 155 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:42.000 I. As I. As I think about it, as I sense that water and you know, it's been a while, I'll open up my water skin. 156 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:51.000 How are you checking this? Are you taking a sip? Are you dumping it out? How are you doing this? 157 00:35:51.000 --> 00:36:14.000 I'm going to take a sip because I'm going to assume that, like it's a water skin. Why would I be carrying around like a water skin of poison or water skin of slime? I trust. I don't know what I am, but I trust myself at least that much. 158 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:19.000 So tell me, what's your favorite thing to drink 159 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:24.000 in this type of setting? I'm gonna go with mead. 160 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:39.000 You taste mead with the consistency of mead, the texture of mead. It even goes down the same way. Mead does. Burns a little bit, but not really. It's mead. 161 00:36:39.000 --> 00:37:11.000 I'm a little bit suspicious about that because I remember the. The meat that I am covered in. And I will look up or I guess sideways at the. Drat. What's the. On my shoulder? What is the descriptor I am looking for? 162 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.000 Sprite. 163 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:26.000 Yes, Sprite. This. Oh yeah. Because we're a horse. For some reason I thought I had a dragon newt on my shoulder. But yeah, a sprite would make more sense because we're a little bit horse like. 164 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.000 Yeah. 165 00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:36.000 I will look up at the Quora and I will say, does this taste like mead to you? 166 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:43.000 That sounds like a line that's going to get me into trouble. 167 00:37:43.000 --> 00:38:07.000 I apparently love mead, but I find it suspicious that I have a water skin full of it. Especially after our confusion with the meat. And the other thing that the slime tasted like 168 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:20.000 a water skin sized for your mouth. I don't think Cora is going to be able to drink out of. I think that is more a swimming pool pool for Korra. 169 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:24.000 That's a shower. 170 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.000 We'll get swimming. Chop chop. 171 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:40.000 I was gonna say. I think a. I think a. I think a large si sized water skin would in. Could in fact be a lethal amount of liquid for. For someone Korra size. 172 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:58.000 Okay. Korra will extend a hand next to you and I would like to use telekinetic hand to pick up a little bit of liquid from this inside this water skin and bring it over to me. 173 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:01.000 Yep. You should be able to do that. 174 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:07.000 Yeah. Can do an object with bulk of one or less. 175 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:11.000 What is this? You say it's telekinetic hand, right? 176 00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:12.000 Yeah. 177 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.000 Does it have an appearance of sort this magic that you have conjured? 178 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:44.000 I think it looks like the same sort of bright turquoise as a lot of Korra themself and as a lot of their magic sort of veined through with like a sort of fiery orange. And it is approximately the same shape and size as his own hand. 179 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:50.000 You do this. You bring it towards you. What are you doing with this now? 180 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:56.000 I would like to look at it first. Does it seem. Does it look like mead or slime? 181 00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:00.000 Oh, it's really hard to tell in the dark. 182 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:23.000 I will gently float my hand over to who's the closest shrike probably. Oh. Although actually we know what Compy thinks it would taste like. So I will float the hand over to Compy and Shout. Does this taste like mead to you? 183 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:30.000 I suppose. In the name of investigation, I can find out 184 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.000 why. 185 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.000 It tastes too good. It's suspicious. 186 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.000 Where did it come from? 187 00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:42.000 My water skin. 188 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:51.000 I realize this is perhaps an unuseful question. Do you recall filling it with mead previously? 189 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:55.000 I do not recall anything of the sort of. 190 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:08.000 Understandable. I thought I would ask just in case some of us, you know, are remembering little bits, pieces. Being so interested in mead, the hand 191 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:13.000 dispels and the liquid falls all over Compi's head. 192 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.000 Combi. Do you wish to dodge? 193 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.000 Yeah, why not? 194 00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:24.000 Okay. And Shrike, do you wish to dodge? You two separate people here have to make. 195 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:25.000 Yeah, sure. 196 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.000 Okay. Reflex. Saves reflex. 197 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:33.000 Let's see. Let's see if I have an instinct for dodging things. 198 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:36.000 And. And we'll just. We'll just use. 199 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.000 Korra. 200 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:41.000 We're just gonna use your spell DC in this case, just to make it work. 201 00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:42.000 Yeah. 202 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:47.000 32, 31. 203 00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:49.000 You both dodge. 204 00:41:49.000 --> 00:42:12.000 Okay, while this is happening, I think Kyrio is going to look around a little bit at this intersection. I would like to see if I can magically orient myself in some manner to see if I can determine what route might be the most appropriate. 205 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:20.000 So there is a cantrip called no Direction. Do you have that? 206 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.000 I have no the way. 207 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:51.000 No the way. Okay. You could. You could cast that if you wish in this case. Or you could. You're a liminal catfolk. That is another way to try and rip between, you know, raw magic versus whatever. There's also a few other ways you can do it. But, like, is there any way in particular you would like to magically Vibe check. 208 00:42:51.000 --> 00:43:19.000 I think I just kind of. As far as methodology, I think I close my eyes and allow everything that's happening around me to fade away so that my third eye opens and I have the ability to determine what general direction is appropriate, what way shows itself to me. 209 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.000 That sounds like you're casting the cantrip, then. 210 00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.000 Yeah. 211 00:43:22.000 --> 00:44:11.000 Yeah. Since you have no memories, I would say that the heightened effect doesn't really apply in this case. But what I. I will give you, obviously what you're able to. To ascertain with this spell, and that is you understand that you are already. You as a group, are already moving north. Like the Wayfinder was taking you that way. And now because of the forked path, you understand, like, you know, one like little. The left side is like what, like northwest, and the E. And the other side is like northeast, essentially, roughly is your. Is your two directions. But you do understand you were all going North. 212 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:13.000 Okay. 213 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:25.000 And you, with the spell, you would know how to get back to your previous location, by the way. Like, if you were to turn around, you can, like, see the path of your little cat feetsies leading you back that way, if you wish. 214 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:33.000 Okay. I also have the ability to detect magic at will. I'd like to do that. 215 00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:36.000 But, yeah, detect magic, you said, right? 216 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:47.000 Yes. I'm focusing. I'm focusing not on the people around me, because I've already done that. I want to see if there's anything magic in either of the directions. 217 00:44:47.000 --> 00:45:52.000 So besides everything else going on that you saw before, like, you are all wearing and you own magical items, and then Korra herself is essentially a form of raw magic as well. So you can. You can kind of tell the difference. You see, you look between both caves, and you really just. There is. It's so weird. There is like. It's like the cave itself is bouncing off with magic, per se, but, like, the whole thing doesn't necessarily light up. It's more like something with magic has roamed this place, and this place has decided to keep a part of it. In a sense, it's a bit weird. You can't really tell more than that. But you do understand, wherever you're being held, wherever you are right now, it is fucking weird. 218 00:45:52.000 --> 00:46:04.000 Yeah, it hangs on to things. So I'm sensing residual magic, which do. I instinctively know that that is not typically how magic is determined by this cantrip. 219 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:17.000 Yes, it's residual, and it's powerful in a sense, so that's something to. To linger on. But. 220 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:44.000 Okay, I think I'll speak up, add, you know, something of note as we progress. There is residual magic here. That is not normal. That is strange. 221 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:45.000 Yeah. 222 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.000 I have to agree with you there. 223 00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:53.000 Oh, do you think that it's all the slime or something else? 224 00:46:53.000 --> 00:47:02.000 It does it appear separate to me because I can physically. I can see the magic. Is it where the slime is, or is it something else? 225 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.000 It is where the slime is. 226 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.000 Okay. 227 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.000 And the slime is everywhere. 228 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:17.000 It looks like the slime. It looks like the slime is magic. Don't touch or eat it. 229 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:27.000 Korra will do another telekinetic hand and pull a little bit out from Tic Tac's flask again and say, what about this? 230 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:31.000 Is that magic? Is it the slime? 231 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:32.000 The. 232 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:38.000 Yes, that is. Why is there slime in the flask? 233 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:41.000 I gag a little bit. 234 00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:50.000 In fact, there's so much slime, the flask is basically glowing because of how much slime is in this flask. 235 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:53.000 Oh, 236 00:47:53.000 --> 00:48:02.000 well, then I think it seems clear that if we have any food or beverage supplies upon us, they are surely tainted. 237 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:08.000 Now, is it sentient or is it just magical? 238 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:20.000 I can't tell if it is sentient or not. I can tell you that it is residual magic, not innate. 239 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:34.000 Can I do, I guess like an arcana check or Arcana or religion? Aquino slash gm. 240 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:53.000 Yeah, anybody can. Can do. So I'll allow arcana, occult, religion, fucking any type of monster hunting lore. Survival as well. Just let me know what you're rolling here. 241 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.000 I'll do a religion. 242 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:56.000 I'm gonna do occultism. 243 00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:02.000 Try I got a 30. 30 on Arcana. 244 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.000 Using 31 on Survival 245 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.000 25. Occult. 246 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:25.000 I have Pale Pale Moon stuck in my head. So the song. And so I'm just boogieing down from like my lower half. You see me bobbing up and down because I'm thinking of the song. 247 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:31.000 Sorry, I had to. I had to math. My brain is absolutely fried today. I got a 30 on my occultism. 248 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:33.000 Nice. 249 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:35.000 24 on my religion. 250 00:49:35.000 --> 00:50:21.000 Okay, so let's. Let's do. Let's do the religion first. You really don't know what's going on here, Shrike. And it's, It's. It's difficult because you feel like you should know. You feel like you. On a different circumstance, on a different day, you would understand what is happening. If there is a divine aspect to this, it's not revealing itself to you. It. You. You. You're not really sure at all 251 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.000 of 252 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:40.000 this connection, what's going on, and you kind of feel a little lost, unfortunately. Survival, right? We had a 31. And Joe, you rolled Survival or Arcana or what did you roll? 253 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:41.000 Arcana. 254 00:50:41.000 --> 00:52:05.000 Arcana. Okay. So survival 31. You understand that this slime is appealing to you all individually. You all say you smell different things. Some of you have tasted different things. You are able to put two and two together, that if Compy were to have taken a sip after looking at this slime or liquid or whatever it was coming out of the skin, Compy would have tasted something different. Because in Compy's brain, Compy is drinking something and not eating it. And while you could argue if pudding can be eaten or drank, it would have been different because Compy's brain is understanding that they are drinking something from a water skein, which is why you tasted something different. On your shoulder it's meat. In your water skin, it is mead. Both start with M, but it's the wrong kind. And you do smell the difference. That's how you rationalize it. That's how you put two and two together. Arcana had a 30, correct? 255 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.000 Correct. 256 00:52:06.000 --> 00:53:54.000 Yes. Residual magic is the best way to describe what is happening, happening here. And so the. But the like, the effect you could say is magical as a base, but the exact effects wouldn't pop up. It is the equivalent of suggestion. And so you. That is how you're processing what is around you. You're just surrounded by temptating slime, and it's temptating the others to. Is it temptating tempting the others to eat it? And you're pretty sure if you had your sensory stuff turned on, it would be doing the same to you. And so to you, it looks like slime. It's not necessarily influencing you, though. You're certain that if it got in your mouth somehow, it would influence you in some way. Whether or not you can taste it that much, you can kind of logic out occults very similar with the residual magic type of. However, with a 25 and 30, what I will give you is, you know, the. In. In a vague sense, if you could categorize divine beings, you would categorize them as gods and demigods, and that is your pantheon. 257 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.000 But 258 00:53:56.000 --> 00:55:35.000 magic is not confined to divinity. Other things, other beings can have their own forms of magic. Nature is its own raw form of magic. And sometimes beings just pop into to existence for no reason at all. Sort of similarly to Korra, though. Korra is a sprite made with reason, as all sprites are. But they are also just like a form of raw magic and some form of creativity and like a God or a demi God on a weird day, decided, I guess I need this one. And so because of that, you guys are aware of the third category, which is in modern terms, known as other powers and mystical phenomena. And so something like this, which you're pretty sure a God would not do, could fall under that category. And with a 30, specifically, I think. I think Curio would be able to put two and two together and recognize that one. There's a few. There's a few that do weird liquid shit. But the one that feels correct to you is the voice of depravity, also known as tender flesh. 259 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:39.000 Got. 260 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:41.000 Comes full circle. 261 00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:49.000 It does. And so now you are all stuck with a choice. Left or right. 262 00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:53.000 One way is northeast, the other is northwest. 263 00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:58.000 The way to the left is stickier, but has water. 264 00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:01.000 Do you really think we should drink any water that's here? 265 00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:07.000 Do you think that's the source of what's creating all this 266 00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:13.000 it smells distinct from the meat and the mead. 267 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.000 The meat and the mead. 268 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:17.000 The slime. 269 00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:18.000 Okay. 270 00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:29.000 Might be worth a shot if it is actually water. Maybe the rest of us. Can I look down at myself, get whatever the stuff off of us. 271 00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:48.000 Oh. I think I realize that the other people around me are all, like, dirty. I have. I think I have prestidigitation, I think. Or the equivalent. Oh, no, I don't. I'm sorry. 272 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:50.000 I'm not dirty, but I'm. 273 00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.000 Wrong character. Wrong character. 274 00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:55.000 It's. It's okay. 275 00:56:54.000 --> 00:57:09.000 It's okay. There seem to be several of us who can have the ability to conjure magic. Do any of us have a spell in our repertoire that would create water? 276 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:12.000 I can create fire. That's it. 277 00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:16.000 That is close. Definitely very close. 278 00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:17.000 It would fix the problem. 279 00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:19.000 If by close you mean the opposite. 280 00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:20.000 Fix the problem. 281 00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:25.000 It does burn off, but I think it would hurt you and not me. 282 00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:31.000 Well, truly, I don't know, because then 283 00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:33.000 go towards the water. 284 00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:40.000 Some dragons, I think are resistant to fire. And I have no idea if I fall into that category or not. 285 00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.000 It's a fun science experiment. 286 00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:47.000 Yes. We are doing such delightful experiments. Nothing to do. Give it a try. 287 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:53.000 Given we just went through the process of making sure you don't die. I don't feel like experimenting. 288 00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:54.000 If. 289 00:57:54.000 --> 00:58:09.000 Yeah, if we. Since we don't have any rations, we're gonna be dead sooner than later. Or insane. If we don't go towards water. 290 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:10.000 Yeah. 291 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:24.000 What we could do is make a note of the passage we are going down so that we may retrace our steps should it not prove to be a good passageway to take. And we may take the other one without becoming lost. 292 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:28.000 Assuming that that will be easy as long as things don't move. 293 00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:34.000 Assuming the layout of this cave does not change. And the slime, that is magical. 294 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:44.000 And we cannot account for everything. We are working at a disadvantage here. We can only take the steps that we can take. 295 00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:52.000 Well, since those require water, we should go towards the water. 296 00:58:52.000 --> 00:59:00.000 I will stop to. I will usher strike towards a wall and then scratch a mark on it. 297 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:05.000 How do you assure her? Are you, like, pulling at her hair? Like reigns? 298 00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:10.000 Like ratatouille mush? No, no, no. 299 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:13.000 My hair is down in, like, one long braid. 300 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:21.000 Absolutely not. That's much too rude. I will simply gesture towards the wall and say, if you please, madam, I'll 301 00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:24.000 go over and let you scratch the wall. 302 00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:33.000 I figure I should put it at eye level for the majority of you versus mine, which could be anywhere. 303 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:42.000 You make your mark and you are all going left towards water also. That would be northwest. 304 00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:44.000 Yes. 305 00:59:44.000 --> 01:01:03.000 All right, you make your mark. You make a mental note and you move towards water. It takes a minute, this walking, the silence. But soon you will all hear is cold and dark. And then it starts to feel somewhat damp. And you do notice a distinct in between. Here is the cave and then there is water. There is enough space to make up camp. And as you kind of reach this destination of sorts, you all, despite walking or not, feel ragged. Armor is heavier, your eyelids equally as heavy. You have time to make camp, whatever camp that is. Would you like to stop and rest? 306 01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:32.000 I think it's possibly a good idea to get whatever rest we can possibly take some time to figure out where we are, what's going on, take stock of everything. Now that we aren't actively in danger or wading through slime, it would give time for some of us to get clean and tend to our gear. 307 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:35.000 Shelly. Para for watching. 308 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:40.000 Probably not a bad idea. 309 01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:43.000 I'll stick with the cat, if you wouldn't mind. 310 01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.000 I don't mind. 311 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.000 Don't look at Compy. 312 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:55.000 We certainly seem to be well partnered. I would be honored. 313 01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.000 Tic tac, correct? 314 01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.000 Yes. 315 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:03.000 Okay, 316 01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:06.000 who is first watch? 317 01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:19.000 I could take first watch as I. Or last watch, it does not matter. But later. I could stay up later than most of you, I assume. 318 01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:22.000 Do you need sleep? 319 01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:25.000 I need to rest. 320 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:40.000 You take first watch. Compy and I can take the middle watch. And Curio and Korra, you can take the last one. 321 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:42.000 Sounds good to me. 322 01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:43.000 First watch. 323 01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:44.000 Oh. 324 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:45.000 So go ahead. 325 01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:53.000 Oh, sorry. I was just going to say I'm not much of a survivalist, but is it a bad idea to bathe in our only source of clean water? 326 01:02:53.000 --> 01:03:19.000 Yes, yes, yes, we can. We can haul water and clean separately, but we probably should not bathe, at least until we have. Well, actually, this is a real question. Is it flowing water or is it like a tidal pole? 327 01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:28.000 You're a bit unsure. The water feels still, but you can. It almost smells fresh. 328 01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:33.000 Okay, so since it's not like flowing like a river, we should probably not 329 01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:36.000 bathe 330 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:41.000 until we're certain that we won't be needing to drink it. 331 01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:46.000 Do we have, like, mess kits or anything? Like, does any. Do any of us have. 332 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.000 So some of y'. 333 01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:48.000 All. 334 01:03:47.000 --> 01:04:04.000 Some of y' all do and some of y' all don't. It's kind of the best way to put it is that not everybody's an adventurer of any sort. You're just kind of here. And so that's why your items are, like, so peculiar. 335 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:11.000 Do I have anything that I can put water in to boil it, like a metal something? 336 01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:14.000 You have a shield. The steel shield. 337 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.000 All right, delicious dungeon, let's go. 338 01:04:17.000 --> 01:05:08.000 Yeah, nothing is stopping you from that. I will say that you can. You guys can find some form of kindling. You can kind of create that in a sense. So if you wish to set up a form of a campfire, you could also. You have magical fire as well, and that does exist. So I have a few ways. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. So there's a few ways for you guys to get a fire going. To get ways to boil water. You just have to be a bit scrappy here. I would also say that some of you are wearing metal armor or you have metal pieces in your armor and so you can take that off and kind of sacrifice it for the bit here to use it as some form of a cup. 339 01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:12.000 I would, but I don't know if it'll be helpful coming from me. 340 01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:18.000 I mean, it's a U sized situation, so if anything, it still helps you and Korra. 341 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:24.000 That's true. We can share a breastplate. 342 01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:30.000 If I use my shield, is it going to damage the shield? I would know. 343 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:51.000 I think if you leave it on for too long, potentially it could, but otherwise a steel shield is rather durable. I believe shields in Pathfinder have hit points and you can fix it as well. So that's a thing. Also comfy. You do have an adventurous pack. You have a new size adventurous pack. 344 01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:52.000 Yeah, yeah. 345 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:54.000 So you don't have to sacrifice the blessings. 346 01:05:54.000 --> 01:06:05.000 The breastplate, it doesn't like specify. It's got like a mess kit, but I'm like. It's got rations and like flint and steel and stuff. And soap. If I have soap, surely I packed a cup. 347 01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:10.000 Mine. You didn't specify mine, so I was going with. I don't have it. 348 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:18.000 Yes, you don't have it specifically. Shrike, you have other things. 349 01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:22.000 Let me drink out my warhammer. 350 01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:31.000 I think without. Without much to do, Curio will scoop up some water in their shield 351 01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:32.000 and 352 01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:39.000 set it down and go about like, boiling some water. You need something to bathe with. Let's make some. 353 01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:49.000 You all make camp and we're going to do first watch. First watch, I believe is Joe and Tic Tac. Correct. 354 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:51.000 Correct. 355 01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:55.000 You guys can make perception rules if you'd like. 356 01:06:55.000 --> 01:07:03.000 Sure. I would also during this watch, would like to examine the arm, of course, and make a perception as well. 357 01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:09.000 And I will say you have some form. You should have some form of magical light. 358 01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:11.000 I am the magical light. Yes. 359 01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:15.000 Yes. 360 01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:17.000 It's a 19 on the dice. 361 01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:24.000 So that is 37 and 35 for Tic Tac. 362 01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:50.000 It is eerily quiet. You can boat, you can hear everybody else breathing and whatever the water is, is quite still. But you can even hear its like brief movements as you like perhaps scoop up a cup and then boil it or something like that. Now. Oh yes. 363 01:07:50.000 --> 01:08:02.000 I was just going to say I would like to take an opportunity to find a. Or make a non sticky surface and take a look at the book during the watch. 364 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:32.000 I. Yeah, I think you guys did it while you were settling for camp because I don't think anybody wants to sleep in the stick. I would say that your yalls campsite is clean. Like you would have taken the time. Unless you specify you don't. You would have taken the time to have cleaned your surroundings. So you, you may find that. So are you both. You're both examining. One's examining the arm, the other is examining the book. Yeah. 365 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.000 Okay. 366 01:08:34.000 --> 01:10:53.000 We will do the book first. And I'm going to give you this memory for free because you are reading this book and as you're reading this book you are regaining some what this exactly is. You see you have a catalog of notes on monsters and monster hunting signed by Ozias Thane. I have a little thing for him. Ozias Thane was the legendary hunter who gathered oral histories and scattered text all into one. Without him, the order of grotesque trees would be nothing. Without their work, locals would continue to believe what lurks in the dark can rule over them. And though now he is gone, Ozias is survived by his grandchildren Lilith and Beauregard Thane. And this text, while this text is not the exact copy, you have like a modernized version of it that they combined compiled into like a smaller travel sized version. Because the actual text is kind of like a living text, if that makes sense. They keep adding to it and it keeps growing and growing because it's. It's sort of like the equivalent of the dictionary. It's something to. That was created to continue to be added to, to continue to be studied and, and documented kind of throughout time. And so you have like a little travel sized version of it. And the, the actual book is called the Files of Other Powers and Mystical Phenomena. That is the name of this book. You know what, I'll give you this blurb too. You kind of read, you're able to read the, the first page, the very, very first page of, of, of substance for this 367 01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:54.000 book. 368 01:10:54.000 --> 01:12:27.000 And it reads Kadir is an ancient, powerful and deeply strange world. Our gods are by no means young, but they certainly are not the oldest beings to exist. The Void predates all, yet we do not worship its name. Civilizations prior to our founding countries had names for these beings. I believe I have translated what was left and I wish to honor their memory. We would be nothing without our predecessors. We must learn from the them. Other Powers and mystical Phenomena is made with the intention of documenting and categorizing creatures outside of the common. My greatest wish is for this to continue the documentation of mythical, to expand our knowledge and to keep the oral studies of old alive. May this living document never die. May it be shared freely, kept from none unless destroyed. And may the pursuit of knowledge always be pursued with the preservation of those around it. Ozias Thane, page one of the files of the Order of Powers and Mystical Phenomena. You also can find a glossary. And this glossary's got everything. 369 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:51.000 Is there anything in particular that calls to me in the glossary? Like, do. Am I, like, oh, this will be useful if I, you know, need to. Need to look something up later, or is it, oh, this is important stuff that I should study up on because I don't remember. 370 01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:59.000 Well, the thing that probably strikes you the hardest is the bit on tender flesh. 371 01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:23.000 Absolutely. So I will study up on Tinder flesh with a special focus on their. I'm trying to think of like, the wording from like control their supernatural manifestations, I think is a good way to put it. 372 01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:26.000 Make a will safe. 373 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:31.000 Oh, okay. 22. 374 01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:34.000 No, you want to use a Euro point? 375 01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:39.000 Yes, I do. Like, if you were asking me that. How about the 35? 376 01:13:39.000 --> 01:14:56.000 35 will definitely do it. I was like, damn, you really don't want the 22. So you. I just letting you know you went from a critical fail to a success. For a moment, your eyes feel incredibly tired, and for a second you struggle to open them as if they are stuck together. But you just. You rub it. You rub your eyes, you rub whatever was keeping them together. And for a second your ears are just like, filled with this hissing sound. And then you open your eyes and it's gone. It's painfully quiet again. And you're able to read a little bit, is what I will say before perhaps you think I'm getting tired. Also, it doesn't help that Ozai is kind of like, while he, like, his writing is like, it's extremely him. Like, this is like a documented first encounter and they keep all of his parts in and then add to it you are able to find. I'm sorry, you were looking for the little mind controlly bit. 377 01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:57.000 The. 378 01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:57.000 The. 379 01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.000 The slimy parts. Yes. 380 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:05.000 Yeah. Supernatural manifestations was the word I used. But the slimy parts. 381 01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:22.000 Super Matt. Yeah, I like that one. You're able to understand that while there is much more to the tender flesh that you need to take more time to read, what you're able to uncover tonight is that 382 01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:24.000 this. 383 01:15:24.000 --> 01:16:08.000 This thing sings. It is able to lure people out of safety. It is able to talk to you, speak directly to you. And it can only get stronger the more you listen. Hence why it is called the voice of depravity. It is sickeningly sweet and well, it just wants to feed you. But it does seem sing is what you are understanding. At least that is how it is fully described as singing and is not really referred to anything else. It sings. 384 01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:18.000 That's interesting. I wonder if it's some sort of sound based magic. I consider the possibility of earplugs. 385 01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:25.000 And we'll just move on from you now. Joe. 386 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:28.000 Yes. 387 01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:30.000 I believe you're examining this arm. 388 01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.000 Yes. 389 01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:36.000 Correct. I have taken the arm out of the bag, 390 01:16:36.000 --> 01:17:07.000 so let's make so. So I don't need you to roll for this part. As you are fully lit, you can look at this army glowing. I mean you're glowing, but it's reflecting the light a little bit. And it is covered. Covered in writing. The entire arm from fingers to palm, to the front and back. 391 01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:14.000 Interesting. What is this like a common language? Or is it like. 392 01:17:14.000 --> 01:18:16.000 It is code is what you can tell. And I'll give you this for free. As you're reading this, you are picking up on specific languages that you are beginning to recognize. And you remember that you are a bit of a linguist. You speak about seven languages. You can learn more. You find it quite easy actually. And the specific languages you speak, you speak common sign language, Elvish, Dwarvish, Necro, diabolic and Orcish. And you do see those languages besides sign language on this arm. I'll give you a list of languages afterwards. So if you wish to. To read these languages. Yeah, I'm gonna 100% deciphering though. 393 01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:27.000 Yes, I'm gonna 100 send the time. In fact, I'm just gonna give you this. I'm gonna spend more time paying attention to this than looking around. 394 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:36.000 Okay, well, in that case, I. I'm. Are you comfortable with me using your perception roll from before for this decoding? 395 01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:39.000 Sure. All right. 396 01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:52.000 Any which point do you want to focus on more? There are the five Fingers, the palm, the front which is written vertically and the back which is written horizontally. 397 01:18:52.000 --> 01:19:02.000 Is there like easy determination of where this begins or is it just kind of meant to be read? 398 01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:15.000 Hope it's just, it's. It's that. That part is a little bit difficult. It's kind of like whatever. You're able to determine that the fingers are separate, the palm is separate, the front is separate, and the back is separate. 399 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.000 Fascinating. I'm gonna start with the fingers and the palm. 400 01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:40.000 With the fingers, you're easily able to decode it saying from, from thumb to pinky. This hand has five fingers, by the way. It is a five fingered arm with no incisions anywhere. So this is a natural five fingers. 401 01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:50.000 See, hear, feel, write, share. Oath of the scribe. 402 01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:57.000 You could make like a recall knowledge check on this to see if you've recognized it anywhere. 403 01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:08.000 Yeah, like, for what? Kind of like arcana Society. I have poetry lore. 404 01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:11.000 Oh, I'll give you poetry lore if you want. 405 01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:12.000 Yes, please. 406 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:19.000 Society or poetry load. Which. Which Load Lore. Whichever is. 407 01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:24.000 Yeah, that is going to be. 408 01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:26.000 Religion is also an option. 409 01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:35.000 Religion is also an option. I. Poetry lore is actually higher. That's going to be a total of 29. 410 01:20:35.000 --> 01:21:14.000 Yeah, I'll do it. You say this out loud maybe to yourself to think just to just rumble through it and you recognize that this is the oath of the scribe, the God, and this is something that their followers tattoo on their hands. It is the solemn oath to essentially document your experience and share it, which is like majority of what the scribe is about. 411 01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:19.000 Okay. 412 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:24.000 If you are attempting to figure out what the palm says, that's going to be another perception role. 413 01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:27.000 Okay. 414 01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:38.000 Unless you have some sort of decoding thing you could do. I would also allow like society maybe. 415 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:50.000 I don't think like even with the background, you know, though, as I'm doing this, I do have read psychometric resonance. 416 01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.000 What does that do? 417 01:21:52.000 --> 01:22:01.000 It's the feet that allows me to read the last psychic compression left on this object. 418 01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:02.000 If you want to do that. 419 01:22:02.000 --> 01:22:08.000 No longer attached to a living thing, it is now considered an object. 420 01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:11.000 If you want to do that, I'll allow you to do that. 421 01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:36.000 Yeah, let me. I want to do that. Let's see the effect specifically like this is what it reads. But I could spend one minute concentrating on the object to get a vision of the face of the person who imbued the item with such emotion in the first place. And I get the associated emotions are the vibe left by it. 422 01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:46.000 Yep, that's perfect. You gain a memory for this as what does this look like, this spell you're casting? 423 01:22:46.000 --> 01:23:19.000 It's not even a spell. It's kind of just like an innate ability like I have. If anything, it would probably look like Joe has been glowing from just like their skin or whatever. I think if anything, the glow of the light maybe dims slightly as they're concentrating on this and maybe the color of the light changes to whatever color is being associated with this. 424 01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:49.000 The color that it is being associated with. I actually have something for that. It is silver, white and yellow. Bit of a gradient. And your memory, as you study this arm, your eyes dilate in a mechanical 425 01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.000 way 426 01:23:51.000 --> 01:25:13.000 and you remember something. You were out in the ember, dune ports surrounded by desert, but in a port city of sorts. It is a airship port city. For you see, this is one of the only ways to travel in Mithram. And you are hunting someone and you have found your mark. A follower of the scribe. You see yourself cut off their arm, your prize, the thing that you were sent out to retrieve with most important information to someone, to you. And you simply leave them left to die in the desert before re entering the city. Perhaps their corpse is still outside. You're not 100% sure and that's not necessarily your problem anymore. How does that make you feel? 427 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:42.000 As they come to from this memory, they specifically focus now on making sure the light is back to whatever color. They're just like the bright light it was was normally. And they are going to take a moment now. I think they're going to put the arm away back into the bag. 428 01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:50.000 Good call. As who is second watch? I believe that's Shrike. Correct. 429 01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:51.000 Y. 430 01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:56.000 And before we switch watches, there's something I would like to do. 431 01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:59.000 What is that? 432 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:06.000 Hey, Joe, you said you could turn off your sensation of taste, right? 433 01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:08.000 Correct. 434 01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:15.000 Are you able to turn off your sense of hearing? 435 01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:40.000 You know, you can turn off all your senses though, depending what you turn off. It kind of like you're. You feel like it is counterintuitive in some senses. Like it's almost like if you were to go turn off, you can turn off your ability to perceive vision. For example, if you were to go to turn it off, you get a warning. 436 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:41.000 Interesting. 437 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:50.000 Okay, yeah. In your head you don't see a warning. It's like in your head like a whole diagnostic runs. But you could do it. 438 01:26:50.000 --> 01:27:02.000 I think Joe takes moments to process and yes, I could. It's not normally, not normal. 439 01:27:02.000 --> 01:27:25.000 I. I read something about how the tender flesh sings. And I want you to do me a favor. Just during the next watch before you go to bed, turn off your hearing for a while and see if. If it affects the way you perceive things. 440 01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:29.000 I'll take notice 441 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:32.000 and then I will go off to bed. 442 01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:54.000 Yep. And diligently Shrike, you wake up. Your body is clockwork in in this case. And Shrike will wake up compy and we will end here and begin next episode with second watch. So, Ferris, take us out. 443 01:27:54.000 --> 01:28:06.000 Thank you one and all for joining us. This has been Gobbles and Gays. We have been playing BR in Charal House and we are slowly remembering things that we didn't know before. And that is how this game works. 444 01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:07.000 Yeah, that's all of us. Hi. Bye. 445 01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:22.000 Have a good day.
