Dungeon Master
00:01:16Yeah.
Temerity
00:01:19Uh,00:01:21I assume also silver?00:01:23Uh, like the doves?
Dungeon Master
00:01:25No.
Temerity
00:01:26Uh.
Dungeon Master
00:01:26the, um,
Temerity
00:01:27Damn.
Dungeon Master
00:01:28The crescent moons and eyes are just a very faintly lighter blue, so barely visible.
Temerity
00:01:32Gotcha.00:01:35Okay.00:01:36Um,00:01:37Hazel…00:01:40I guess that’s.00:01:41Yeah, Temerity left the Anvil coin.00:01:44they got00:01:49We got to Silverthorn, found out that the missing town person’s name was Doug, who was almost definitely the Sorrowsworn that we fought.00:01:59two sessions ago.00:02:01We saw Doug’s widow00:02:05and deliberated over trying to provide closure while also still remaining far enough, uh, away from the circumstance to not have it tied back to us. So Iva,00:02:17impersonated just a random00:02:20uh,00:02:22Light Warden and delivered a forged letter that Luma00:02:25Drafted.00:02:27to Margaret Fletcher,00:02:29who’s her full name, informing her that Doug00:02:34had died.00:02:37And then we went to Crick’s Bend.00:02:41and had dinner with the Kembles, and it was a nice time.00:02:45you know, with nothing crazy.00:02:49uh,00:02:52until00:02:53-00:02:54until Eliza showed up to dinner and blurted out Juniper’s00:03:00kind of00:03:02unspoken00:03:05slash danced around feelings with00:03:07uh, for Temerity.00:03:11uh, Temerity laid to rest.00:03:14their feelings for Juniper, denying the relationship,00:03:18Um,00:03:22And then we went00:03:25to the Abbey.00:03:27to lay down. Luma got a book.00:03:29Uh,00:03:31that’s,00:03:32in the parting notes.00:03:34That seems hella interesting.00:03:37and Temerity confessed to Father Emberthumb about Brundun,00:03:41Letting Brundun go. Father Emberthumb, uh,00:03:45but00:03:46Temerity confessed that while trying to ask about the…00:03:50Bye.00:03:51purification process, what we know about it, everything.00:03:56Father Emberthumb was like, we don’t really know much, but like…00:04:00I assume that it has to be humane because otherwise I can’t imagine how it’d be.00:04:05uh,00:04:06a part of the silver flame.00:04:09Um,00:04:12and kind of tasked Temerity with,00:04:14finding out00:04:16uh,00:04:18finding out what00:04:21purification is.00:04:23Um,00:04:24During that conversation, Father Emberthumb revealed that to Temerity,00:04:27that00:04:32When he found Temerity on his doorstep,00:04:36There was a00:04:40There was a light in the sky.00:04:43and a voice.00:04:45whispering to him,00:04:46uh00:04:47or telling him00:04:50Um,00:04:53What the f- did I not write it down?00:04:56What the fuck?00:04:57basically telling him that this is my child00:05:00protect them.00:05:02uh,
Dungeon Master
00:05:03- Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:05:06And then.00:05:07Rhys had00:05:09a ominous dream about the Silver Vale00:05:14kind of00:05:15flashing different eras.00:05:17Um,00:05:18in the stream seeing it00:05:21go from wild00:05:23Just lush.00:05:24greenery.00:05:25and others00:05:28other centaurs to dwarves to wars and time passing until ending up in00:05:35A, uh,00:05:37A very lavish00:05:40like, scene00:05:41with00:05:43herself painting herself from her POV. She was looking at herself and was painting herself.00:05:50when00:05:51An unknown assailant harangued her.00:05:55bursting open the door.00:05:57And00:05:59The last bit of that dream was00:06:03Rhys.00:06:05from the POV of that other person, presumably,00:06:08uh,00:06:10crawling over to herself.00:06:12reaching into her heart.00:06:14rip00:06:15or into her chest, ripping out her heart and placing it into Rhys’s.00:06:20And yeah.00:06:21That’s the notes I got.00:06:23That’s a summation of the notes that I got.
Hazel
00:06:28Yeah, it was a fucked up little dream.
Temerity
00:06:28They do a good job.
Hazel
00:06:30I think he did a great job.
Temerity
00:06:30laughs
Dungeon Master
00:06:35Yeah, that was good.00:06:36Um,00:06:37But.00:06:38that I think,
Iva
00:06:38I feel like you missed my one other contribution that, that, well, I was so tired.
Dungeon Master
00:06:46um,00:06:48that,00:06:49covered it, you guys returned from Silverthorn to Crick’s Bend, had a big family dinner.00:06:55with the Kemble family00:06:57Um,00:06:58And now find yourselves awakening on the morning of, I believe, the…00:07:0429th of Coldrise.00:07:12And.00:07:12you know, the day is yours.
Iva
00:07:15Iva wakes up00:07:17probably a little earlier than everyone because she went to bed earlier.00:07:21smiling.00:07:23She’s not a Sorrowsworn or had a bad dream about it.
Hazel
00:07:27Mm-hmm.
Iva
00:07:29She’s wandering around.00:07:33Unknown to what happened last night.
Temerity
00:07:37Mm-mm.00:07:39Um,00:07:41Yeah, Temerity was going to wake up as a…00:07:44As a point,00:07:45to try and get up early and see if they can catch Eliza.00:07:49before they slipped away for the day.
Dungeon Master
00:07:52How early, sorry.
Temerity
00:07:52to00:07:54No, go for it.
Dungeon Master
00:07:55How early are you heading over there?
Temerity
00:07:59Probably around…00:08:05-Probably like 5:30, 6:00.
Dungeon Master
00:08:08um,00:08:09You get up before the sun and kind of…00:08:14go through a little bit of your morning routine,00:08:17light is just starting to creep up in the…00:08:23in the00:08:25the direction the sun comes from, the east probably.00:08:28Um,00:08:31As you like.00:08:33Attempt to make your way out of the church quietly to go and see if you can catch Eliza.00:08:39Um,00:08:41Hazel sleeps, but Luma doesn’t, so Luma’s probably already awake.
Temerity
00:08:47Oh, yeah.
Luma
00:08:47Yeah.
Hazel
00:08:51Thank you.
Luma
00:08:51Luma’s down in the basement still.
Hazel
00:08:53I didn’t know coach.
Dungeon Master
00:08:55There’s no basement.
Luma
00:08:58I thought that was where all the books were stored.
Dungeon Master
00:08:59No, the books are like in the back corner of the church, like behind the…
Luma
00:09:02Ah.00:09:03Luma’s in the back corner of the church, like behind where he speaks from.
Dungeon Master
00:09:04behind where he speaks from.00:09:05Okay.
Hazel
00:09:06Yeah.
Luma
00:09:08Sorry.
Temerity
00:09:08He he he he he he he he he.
Dungeon Master
00:09:10the end.00:09:12you’d wake up and see Luma in the corner over by where Father Emberthumb writes all his sermons.
Temerity
00:09:19uh,00:09:20Okay.00:09:22Uh,00:09:24Good morning.00:09:27Temerity.
Luma
00:09:27Oh, hi.
Temerity
00:09:28laughs00:09:30- will say as they get up,00:09:33I’m going to00:09:34pop out for a second.00:09:37but,00:09:38Just in case.00:09:39Anyone else wakes up00:09:41and00:09:42wants to head out.00:09:43uh,00:09:44I’m.00:09:45I’m going to try and be quick about it.
Luma
00:09:47Okay, I have a really important question.
Temerity
00:09:49Oh.00:09:50Uh-huh.
Luma
00:09:51Is father Emberthumb senile.
Temerity
00:09:54No.
Luma
00:09:55Okay, that’s it. Thank you.
Temerity
00:09:57Okay.
Dungeon Master
00:09:58Yeah.
Temerity
00:10:03Just another Luma question.
Luma
00:10:06Yeah.
Hazel
00:10:07Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:10:08They don’t mean anything by it.00:10:11She doesn’t mean anything by it.
Luma
00:10:13I
Temerity
00:10:13Thank you.00:10:14laughter
Luma
00:10:17She means everything by it, but the everything is very subjective.
Temerity
00:10:17laughs00:10:18Aww.00:10:21laughs
Luma
00:10:21Thank you.
Temerity
00:10:22- Yeah.00:10:23Yeah, Temerity will hop on out.
Dungeon Master
00:10:26You head out.00:10:27It’s cold this morning, below freezing certainly. Not dangerously cold, but00:10:33but again, like winter cold.
Temerity
00:10:33Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:10:35There’s a heavy fog.00:10:39kind of just filling out the town, creeping between the buildings,00:10:44There’s nothing off about it or anything that would be unsettling.00:10:46It’s just another foggy day in the Silver Vale.00:10:49Um,00:10:50But you no problem make your way to the…00:10:53Kemble Farmstead.00:10:55Um,00:10:56You know it being like a farm, even though there’s not really a lot of farm work to do at this point in the season, that…00:11:04Uh, Henry’s going to be up.00:11:06Maureen’s going to be up.00:11:07David’s almost certainly up.00:11:09But other than that, it’s your experience that most of the Kemble children sleep until at least the sun is like…00:11:17Out.00:11:18and up.
Temerity
00:11:18Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:11:19um,00:11:22And as you head over there,00:11:25I want you to roll me a little dice.00:11:28I want you to roll me a d4.00:11:30of a lucky D4.
Hazel
00:11:33Oh.
Temerity
00:11:34- Real lucky D4 it is.
Hazel
00:11:34Don’t roll the juniper check.
Temerity
00:11:37laughs
Dungeon Master
00:11:38Maybe I should have you make two luck checks.
Temerity
00:11:41laughter00:11:43-00:11:45three
Dungeon Master
00:11:47All right.00:11:47You head on over.00:11:50um,00:11:51What do you want to do?
Temerity
00:11:53Uh, Temerity’s gonna like, you know, scope the, scope the farmhouse out a little bit. See if…00:12:00Just keep an eye on it.00:12:01Keep an eye on where…00:12:03they would imagine Eliza would exit00:12:07They feel a bit too awkward from the night.
Dungeon Master
00:12:07Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:12:09prior to like just walk in.00:12:12Yeah.00:12:14So they’re kind of like…00:12:16hanging back a bit, but like just keeping an eye out for Eliza.
Dungeon Master
00:12:20Well, there’s a front door and a back door.00:12:23There aren’t really any side doors or anything like that.
Temerity
00:12:24Yeah, there’s also Windows.
Dungeon Master
00:12:25There are windows.
Temerity
00:12:26Maybe.
Dungeon Master
00:12:28The house does have windows.00:12:30You’ve been around it enough to know Eliza’s room does indeed have a window.00:12:35It is.
Temerity
00:12:36Then you don’t.
Dungeon Master
00:12:37it does overlook the backyard and not the front.
Temerity
00:12:40Okay, then yeah, Temerity’s gonna…00:12:43Keep an eye primarily on the back, but also, you know,00:12:47peek around the house to see it.00:12:49If, uh,00:12:51if they spot Eliza coming out.00:12:53The front.
Dungeon Master
00:12:53It was.00:12:54It would be quite difficult to keep an eye on both doors, I feel like.
Temerity
00:12:59It’s more like keeping an eye around the…00:13:02So, like, if Temerity is, like…
Dungeon Master
00:13:02Yeah.
Temerity
00:13:04Well, maybe I should make my thing much more visible.00:13:08So yeah, if Temerity is like00:13:12Yeah, come on, give me the pointer.00:13:16There we go. Can you see that?00:13:17Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:13:18No, but you could place your token where you kind of want to be.
Temerity
00:13:21Okay.00:13:23In that case.00:13:25Let me grab my token.00:13:26the support.00:13:28Um…00:13:29Which, where would Eliza’s room be?
Dungeon Master
00:13:32We’ll say Eliza’s room is around here.
Temerity
00:13:37around there.00:13:38Okay.
Dungeon Master
00:13:38Yeah.
Temerity
00:13:39Then like.00:13:42here-ish.00:13:44So they have clear view.00:13:46of here, and if not, they have view of here and of over here.
Dungeon Master
00:13:50So you want to be like way out there.
Temerity
00:13:53Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:13:53Like you’re doing a stakeout.
Temerity
00:13:55Yeah.00:13:56Because they don’t want to…
Dungeon Master
00:13:56All right.
Temerity
00:13:58Wanna risk awkwardly stumbling across juniper.
Dungeon Master
00:14:04Are you…00:14:05Are you hiding?
Temerity
00:14:07Um…00:14:10I mean…00:14:11Yes, but no, they aren’t like…00:14:14you know, getting in the bushes.00:14:16But they’re trying to keep out of…00:14:20being immediately late. They aren’t making themselves present.00:14:23and visible, if that makes sense.00:14:26They’re definitely hiding-ish.
Dungeon Master
00:14:26Yeah.
Temerity
00:14:28I can roll a stealth roll, definitely.
Dungeon Master
00:14:28both.00:14:29Yeah.00:14:29real stealth.
Temerity
00:14:32Oh.00:14:33Lucky.00:14:3515 plus…00:14:37two.00:14:3817.
Dungeon Master
00:14:39you are well hidden around this tree that you have picked out. You have a clear00:14:45Um…00:14:46How far is that?00:14:48I was gonna say,00:14:50Oh, that’s not what I wanted.00:14:53It was pretty foggy. I feel like you do not have good…
Temerity
00:14:58If that’s the case, then I would00:15:00Be closer.
Dungeon Master
00:15:02Okay.00:15:05But the fog has its own upsides as well.00:15:08It means that if you keep a low profile, you can hide pretty much anywhere.
Temerity
00:15:14uh,
Dungeon Master
00:15:15I feel like they’re…
Temerity
00:15:15about
Dungeon Master
00:15:16Sorry.
Temerity
00:15:17Now go for it.
Dungeon Master
00:15:19I feel like everything at that distance00:15:22will call everything lightly obscured.00:15:24So you can see it, but not clearly.00:15:28But you could see the back door, you could see like the wood pile out by the barn.
Temerity
00:15:28Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:15:35see the house and all of that from there.
Temerity
00:15:38Okay. Yeah. Temerity will post up next to the tree, laying on it a bit, give it about like00:15:44you know,00:15:45Give it a little bit of time.
Dungeon Master
00:15:47um,00:15:47It does not take long before you catch the back door opening.00:15:51But it is not Eliza. It is Henry. It is Pa. He does not seem to notice you. He heads over to the woodpile and starts chopping wood.
Temerity
00:16:02All right.
Dungeon Master
00:16:03while you’re doing that,00:16:06everyone else you’re kind of waking up back at, um,00:16:10back at Father Emberthumb’s church.00:16:13Luma, of course, buried in the books. What is everyone else doing this morning?00:16:17You wake up and you find Temerity is nowhere to be found.
Iva
00:16:21Like I said, I thought I would wake up early because she went to bed way early.
Dungeon Master
00:16:26Sure.
Rhysaene
00:16:27Um,
Iva
00:16:27But…
Rhysaene
00:16:31Yeah, I think I wake up pretty early too.00:16:34Well, hmm.00:16:37How do I think Riff sleeps?00:16:39I think that00:16:42She…00:16:43Wigs are very groppy.00:16:45Um…00:16:48Uh, very like…00:16:50unfocused,00:16:52looking around00:16:54I think that Hazel was in the same tent as me.
Hazel
00:16:57Yes.
Rhysaene
00:16:58Yeah.
Hazel
00:16:58Jesus, David.
Rhysaene
00:17:03How?00:17:04Wait, are you…00:17:05Are you cuddled up with me or are we in separate situations?
Hazel
00:17:10You can’t do this.00:17:11Um,00:17:13That would not be something that Hazel would initiate.00:17:17It would have to be something that Rhys did.
Rhysaene
00:17:17Okay.00:17:22Okay, okay.00:17:24I…00:17:27I was almost going to meme it.00:17:28And be like, you know the Jeff Goldblum when he’s resting on the dinosaur meme?
Hazel
00:17:34Yeah, yeah.
Temerity
00:17:34Eww.
Rhysaene
00:17:35Thank you.00:17:38No, I think that she…00:17:44It just gets like a very deep,00:17:49- Sigh.00:17:52She’s going to get up.00:17:53big old horse butt out and then she’s going to go look for like breakfast or something.
Hazel
00:17:58All right.00:18:00Uh,00:18:01Well, Hazel would at least like00:18:04really, at least acknowledge her and just kind of be like, good morning, if she were to acknowledge her back.
Rhysaene
00:18:10Morning.00:18:11- Mm-hmm.
Hazel
00:18:11But,00:18:12laughs00:18:16uh,00:18:17- Okay.00:18:19smile and then00:18:20probably just immediately start00:18:22uh,00:18:23immediately start like00:18:26packing up the tent.00:18:28for00:18:34for the trip back.00:18:36uh,
Rhysaene
00:18:36He, he, he.
Hazel
00:18:38She’s pretty much like00:18:42She’s not eager to get back to…00:18:44get back to the city, but she is kind of just like, well,00:18:47That was a fun trip. Time to
Rhysaene
00:18:51Thank you.
Hazel
00:18:51Time to leave.
Temerity

Temerity
00:20:46- He he he.
Dungeon Master
00:20:47Um,00:20:49So…00:20:50So Hazel, you’re wanting to go to the general store?
Hazel
00:20:53No, risks going to the tunnels.
Dungeon Master
00:20:54No, no. Rhys is going to the general store. All right.00:20:57um
Temerity
00:20:57Oh, boy.
Dungeon Master
00:20:59Rhys starts heading for the general store.00:21:01Uh,00:21:02Temerity.00:21:04You have been here…00:21:0610, 15 minutes00:21:08Pa cut some wood, took it back inside, and it’s been quiet.00:21:12sense.00:21:14Does Temerity give up or change tactic after 15 minutes?
Temerity
00:21:18uh,00:21:26Yeah, because everybody else is waiting on them.00:21:29Or at least that’s how they feel, even if everyone’s waking up.
Dungeon Master
00:21:31Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:21:34Um,00:21:35So,00:21:36What they’ll do is that they’ll try and get closer to
Dungeon Master
00:21:40Okay.
Temerity
00:21:41Did you do…00:21:44do00:21:47How?00:21:48Hard.00:21:50would it be for Temerity?00:21:51I don’t know.00:21:53I feel like it’s,00:21:57I don’t know.00:21:58I feel like it’s starting to border on creepy.00:22:00No.00:22:00If Temerity…
Dungeon Master
00:22:01border on
Luma
00:22:02starting.
Temerity
00:22:03Porter on starting. Yeah.
Hazel
00:22:04Yeah.
Temerity
00:22:05Temerity is interjecting themselves in family trouble and family drama.00:22:11But it’s kind of their family.00:22:13Not really.
Iva
00:22:13Because you caused her drama.
Temerity
00:22:15No, I didn’t. This is something else.
Iva
00:22:18Oh, you’re right.
Hazel
00:22:18It’s a different term.
Luma
00:22:18at all.00:22:20I think indirectly Temerity did cause this drama too, because of Temerity leaving.
Iva
00:22:20It is a little drama.
Temerity
00:22:20This is something…00:22:27Oh, maybe.
Luma
00:22:28This is Eliza’s rebellion phase that triggered from Temerity leaving, if you remember what it was described.
Dungeon Master
00:22:31That’s it.
Temerity
00:22:32I can’t.
Dungeon Master
00:22:34Oh, shit.
Temerity
00:22:34I was going to say
Luma
00:22:35I don’t know.
Hazel
00:22:36Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:22:36Um,
Luma
00:22:37- Yeah.00:22:38Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:22:38You’re able to…00:22:39Sorry.
Temerity
00:22:40I was going to say,00:22:41How hard would it be for Temerity to peer into the window to see if Eliza’s like even up?
Luma
00:22:45Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:22:46It is a,00:22:47on the second floor, so you will have to00:22:50to stealthily scale the house.
Temerity
00:22:53I
Iva
00:22:54I don’t think it’s a bad thing.
Temerity
00:22:55crickets
Dungeon Master
00:22:55And, and,00:22:57look up into the window.
Temerity
00:22:59Oh.00:23:03Temerity is going to do something else.00:23:05Instead, Temerity is going to grab…00:23:07Because I, yeah, to me, just couldn’t grab like a little pebble.
Dungeon Master
00:23:10Okay.
Temerity
00:23:11And00:23:13tossed it at the window00:23:15Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:23:15You.00:23:17Give me an attack roll.
Temerity
00:23:17They get Eliza’s attention.00:23:20I break the window.
Dungeon Master
00:23:20uh, give me,
Luma
00:23:22Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:23:22Give me an attack roll. You use Dexterity or Strength.00:23:26but you were not proficient, you were improvising a weapon
Temerity
00:23:30Okay, so it’s just.00:23:32The attribute.
Dungeon Master
00:23:33just00:23:34Yes.
Temerity
00:23:35OK, in that case, 18.
Dungeon Master
00:23:37You carefully aim…00:23:40and carefully measure your00:23:43the strength of your attack so as not to just put a hole through the window.00:23:47Um, and it hits the glass and goes plink.00:23:51Um,00:23:52It actually almost immediately you watch the curtain…00:23:57Shuffle.00:23:58And you catch a glimpse of someone peeking outside.00:24:03looking around.00:24:06Um,00:24:06They look around for a second,00:24:08um,00:24:10I guess you did attack so they would actually know that you’re there.00:24:14Um,00:24:15you, you, you presume it’s Eliza. It looks like Eliza, her eye meets yours.
Temerity
00:24:20Maybe does the double eye thing.00:24:22The point at her eye thing.
Hazel
00:24:25I’m watching you.
Dungeon Master
00:24:27Um,
Luma
00:24:27Jesus.
Temerity
00:24:28No.
Dungeon Master
00:24:29She looks at you with a tilted head and mouths
Temerity
00:24:35Temerity does the like beckoning.
Dungeon Master
00:24:38She rolls her eyes and she like does a performance of it.00:24:42So even from down there, even through the little bit of fog, it is clear that she is doing it and then disappears back into her room.
Temerity
00:24:43Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.00:24:50All right.
Dungeon Master
00:24:51Um, after about a minute, the back door opens and Eliza comes out, closing the door quickly00:24:57behind her.00:24:58Um, she is already dressed for the day in, um…00:25:03Not…00:25:04I don’t know what you call them. Just like clothes. Just like regular, nothing fancy, nothing like for hard labor. Not like common like tattered clothes and not anything fine. Just like…00:25:16just clothes.00:25:17Um,00:25:19And she has like a little satchel bag, uh,00:25:22slung over her shoulder, hanging from her back,00:25:25and she walks over to you.00:25:26She says, are you…00:25:28Did you…00:25:28Did you forget whose room was whose?
Luma
00:25:32Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:25:33-00:25:35- Yeah.00:25:36Oh.00:25:37Sorry. No.00:25:42I wanted to…00:25:43talk about00:25:47you escaping away.00:25:50kind of00:25:55I want to, it’s something going on00:25:58Are you?00:26:00Okay, is everything okay?
Dungeon Master
00:26:00Kate.00:26:02She kind of tilts her head and she says,00:26:04I am…00:26:06Like, there’s a brief second where you started talking where she looks genuinely like…00:26:11panicked or upset, but as you continue, she relaxes.00:26:16She shakes her head and says, I’m fine.00:26:19Why?
Temerity
00:26:20then00:26:21Where have you been going?
Dungeon Master
00:26:24Here you go.00:26:26You are not my mom, Tem.
Temerity
00:26:29That’s00:26:30Fair, but that’s why I thought you might00:26:32be willing to disclose a little bit.00:26:34because I’m not your mom.
Dungeon Master
00:26:37you know how crazy you sound right now, right?00:26:40You show up at my house,00:26:42The sun’s barely up. You’re throwing rocks at my window so you can ask me where I go.00:26:46I spend time with friends. What else am I going to do in this dead little town?
Temerity
00:26:52Hehehehehehehehehehe!00:26:55laughs00:26:57Um,00:27:02and00:27:04Um,00:27:06Sorry, I have to think of how Temerity is handling this situation.00:27:09I feel…00:27:13Oh,00:27:16Uh…00:27:18community00:27:22Is just like00:27:26all day, can you at least00:27:29Make it to dinner. People are worried about you.
Dungeon Master
00:27:32- Yeah.00:27:35No one has talked about being worried about me.00:27:39I think you’re reading too much into things.
Temerity
00:27:43laughter00:27:49Every time I’ve come over since the week I’ve been gone,
Dungeon Master
00:27:49Hey.00:27:50She…
Temerity
00:27:53We’ve talked about you.00:27:55They’re worried about you.
Dungeon Master
00:28:01Oh,00:28:03Did you have people following you around telling you what to do when you were my age?00:28:07I don’t think you did.
Temerity
00:28:08I mean,00:28:10Kind of.00:28:11I
Dungeon Master
00:28:13Kind of, kind of. You, listen.00:28:17you00:28:18did whatever you want. You were here as much as you were at the church.
Temerity
00:28:26That’s fair, but I was also here00:28:28helping.
Dungeon Master
00:28:31Listen, I’m not going to do that.00:28:33I have so many siblings I actually don’t know off the top of my head how many it is.
Temerity
00:28:39I’m not, I’m not,00:28:42trying to lecture you.00:28:44I’m not trying to chastise you.00:28:49I just…00:28:51want to make sure that you’re00:28:54Being safe.00:28:56And00:28:57To try and make sure you aren’t worrying your family too much.
Dungeon Master
00:29:03I’m safe. Look, I’m right here.00:29:06Do I look like I have anything dangerous?00:29:08And where would I go that’s dangerous in…00:29:11in the crick.
Temerity
00:29:19merity kind of like00:29:21Yeah.00:29:22Thinking of the Sorrowsworn.00:29:24even though it was on the very edge00:29:26The fact that it was within the veil is still, and like seeing that is still kind of scary.
Dungeon Master
00:29:33Uh-huh.
Temerity
00:29:35So they’re just like, you don’t--00:29:38No.00:29:40what’s out there, what could be out there.00:29:43What could.00:29:45Come close to the crick.
Dungeon Master
00:29:47She interrupts.00:29:49Oh, by the fucking flame, Temerity.00:29:53Okay.00:29:54Really?00:29:55I don’t know what’s out there. Oh, it’s so scary.00:29:58I swear Temerity,00:30:01It was kind of charming the way00:30:05everyone around here00:30:07No.00:30:08you were going on to go and do greater things.00:30:13Everyone knew it.00:30:14Juniper knew it.00:30:16Pa knew it.00:30:18Father Emberthumb knew it.00:30:20And it was kind of cool, you know, but00:30:23I think00:30:24I think something really awful happened to you, Temerity.00:30:28I think when you left, you realized it too.00:30:36And it’s just not charming anymore.00:30:39I don’t need saving.00:30:41You do not have to be00:30:43My hero.00:30:45I’m not in trouble.00:30:47You can go ahead and give an insight check if you would like.
Temerity
00:30:51Yeah.00:30:5522.00:30:58I’m rolling hot as fuck.00:31:00Not really, 14, 15, 20.00:31:03No, that is hot.00:31:05But yeah, 22.
Dungeon Master
00:31:08See you.00:31:10She doesn’t seem like she’s lying about that.00:31:12There’s no secret fear that she’s covering…00:31:17Whatever she’s up to00:31:19At the very least, she doesn’t think it’s dangerous.00:31:23um,00:31:24That said,00:31:26You just throughout this conversation get the idea that she is…00:31:31deliberately not revealing anything about it.00:31:35She’s being vague intentionally.00:31:38She feels, she seems like she’s like,00:31:41like a bug when you pick up the rock kind of vibes.
Temerity
00:31:45Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
00:31:45Um,00:31:47So she doesn’t, like, if she was, like, going out and, like, picking bar fights or something, you…00:31:53You don’t think it’s anything like that.
Temerity
00:31:55Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:31:55It’s not something she thinks is dangerous, but it is something she’s not interested in telling you or her family about.
Temerity
00:32:02Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:32:02And that last bit00:32:04There was a little bit of a glint in her eye.00:32:06She meant that if you’re not going to take…00:32:11If you’re not gonna take deflection, like passive deflection,00:32:16will not get you to stop, then she’s gonna be more active, and she meant that to get under your skin.
Temerity
00:32:23Mm-hmm.00:32:26Um,00:32:32Temerity’s just going to…00:32:36is just gonna sigh.00:32:38And00:32:39say you don’t have to00:32:41Tell me what you’re doing.00:32:42You don’t have to…00:32:45Oh, your family, what you’re doing. I’m.00:32:52I just want00:32:54to impress upon you.00:32:57that your family is worried.00:33:02that00:33:04You know how…00:33:08you know, how00:33:11Uh,00:33:12Henry and00:33:14and marine00:33:15would talk about00:33:16uh,00:33:18Talk about Trevor.00:33:19when he was00:33:20acting up.00:33:24It’s…00:33:26Kinda like that, but…00:33:28different.00:33:29because nobody knows what’s going on.00:33:31With you.00:33:33you’re entitled to live your own life.00:33:41But.00:33:41That doesn’t mean people aren’t going to be worried about you. That doesn’t mean that00:33:46you still won’t have these00:33:50Oh, obligations.
Dungeon Master
00:33:54does kind of like00:33:56like narrow the eyes at the word obligations. But go ahead and give me a persuasion check.
Temerity
00:34:04Ugh.00:34:05What’s my persuasion?00:34:10Bye.
Dungeon Master
00:34:12Five total?
Temerity
00:34:13Yeah, six minus one.
Dungeon Master
00:34:15Huh?00:34:16She kind of looks at you.00:34:18She looks at you for a long moment and she says,00:34:22All right.00:34:23Temerity, I’m sorry about what I just said.00:34:25I’m sorry about last night.00:34:26I just…00:34:30I needed space to myself.00:34:32I just…00:34:35You want the truth?00:34:38Just, I just like spending time with my friends.00:34:41I don’t want to spend my life working on a farm, and I don’t want to…00:34:46spend any more time00:34:49doing that.00:34:50already.00:34:51I’ll help out when I’m around, but I…00:34:54I have friends and I want to, you know, spend time with them.00:34:58I don’t think that’s so wrong.
Temerity
00:35:01In that case,00:35:02If you don’t want to do any more farm work.00:35:06Maybe.00:35:07you can ask if there’s other ways to pitch in.00:35:11at least while you’re here. If you want to go out,00:35:16make a name for yourself eventually or something, if that’s00:35:19If you’re…00:35:22desires are taking you away from the farm.00:35:25I,00:35:27understand that.00:35:29But,00:35:31while you’re here.00:35:33while you have00:35:35Ben.00:35:35while you have your family supporting you.00:35:40Maybe there’s other ways you can help.00:35:43I think it’d be a good idea to talk about.00:35:46talk about it.
Dungeon Master
00:35:48um,00:35:49She looks at Temerity and says,00:35:53make a name for myself.00:35:55- What?
Temerity
00:35:56-00:35:57Uh, Temerity shrugs. I don’t know. I don’t know what you want because you won’t tell anybody anything.
Dungeon Master
00:36:04I…
Temerity
00:36:04I’m just guessing here.
Dungeon Master
00:36:06why do I have to want something?00:36:10why does it all have to be
Temerity
00:36:11these.
Dungeon Master
00:36:12leading on some00:36:14big00:36:16big, big path.
Temerity
00:36:20It doesn’t. I just was throwing things out into the wind.
Dungeon Master
00:36:25All right.00:36:26Okay.00:36:27Well, yes.00:36:28Sure, Temerity. I’ll ask what else I can do around here.
Temerity
00:36:34Who knows, maybe,00:36:37I don’t know what…00:36:39What are you interested in?00:36:40Maybe there’s some other work in the Crick that you get paid for so you can00:36:45afford to hang out with your friends somewhere.00:36:48you know, spend00:36:51money on them and yourselves and
Dungeon Master
00:36:53Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:36:53and the family.
Dungeon Master
00:36:57Um,00:37:01She kind of like…00:37:03kind of does like a, like a thinking face. And she says, well,00:37:06I tried to start a cartography licensing business,00:37:10but that fell through pretty quick.
Temerity
00:37:12laughter00:37:15- Yeah.00:37:17Yeah.00:37:18He shakes her head.00:37:20It can’t be that you like scamming people.
Dungeon Master
00:37:26She shakes her head.00:37:28She says no, no Temerity. I don’t.00:37:31I don’t like scamming people.00:37:34I thought it’d be funny. I really was kidding. I know that00:37:39I was kidding. I probably would have kept the gold, but it was a joke.00:37:44I…00:37:46I don’t know.00:37:47I thought it’d be funny, I thought people might laugh, but…00:37:51I guess it really wasn’t.00:37:56She kind of trails off.00:37:58- I have.00:37:59I don’t know.00:38:01I don’t, I don’t know.00:38:03I, I,00:38:05I don’t know if there’s anything that I want to, to,00:38:08like I,00:38:09like a career. I just, I don’t,00:38:11I don’t know.00:38:12I just don’t see the point.
Temerity
00:38:16What do you mean?
Dungeon Master
00:38:18It’s just like…00:38:21She kind of looks at you for a moment and she says,00:38:24I don’t know. I’m just…00:38:26It’s early. I kind of want to go back to bed. You throw a rock at my window.
Temerity
00:38:30Uh,00:38:34Air.00:38:35I…00:38:38was going to try and00:38:39catch you before you snuck out, but00:38:42realize it’s00:38:43might be a bit too early before you do that.
Dungeon Master
00:38:46Yeah.
Temerity
00:38:47I’m sorry to interrupt your sleep, but--00:38:50If.00:38:52You could.00:38:54At least please try and make it for dinner.
Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master
00:39:27You know,00:39:30I’m not a kid anymore.00:39:32and
Iva
00:39:32Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:39:35Everyone else got to choose what they did with their time.00:39:38when they were my age. They just chose to spend it moving barrels and plowing fields.00:39:45And I don’t want to do that with my life.
Temerity
00:39:51then00:39:53Again.
Dungeon Master
00:39:54I, we’re, this is…

Dungeon Master
00:40:15Yeah.00:40:17Tem, I’m sorry about last night.00:40:19I just…00:40:22I don’t know why I said that and I didn’t think it would get you in as much trouble as it did.00:40:28um,
Temerity
00:40:29Ah.
Dungeon Master
00:40:29I am sorry about that.
Temerity
00:40:32It’s00:40:35It’s OK.00:40:36Good.00:40:37Honestly, if we00:40:40Should have talked about it.00:40:42on00:40:44Time ago, a lot more.00:40:47concretely.00:40:49Um,00:40:54Can you,00:40:56I know I already asked you a favor, but if you could do me another, just…00:41:00check on00:41:01Juniper.00:41:02every once in a while.00:41:04make sure that she’s okay.
Dungeon Master
00:41:10Yeah, all right.00:41:12I00:41:14I’ll keep an eye on her, make sure she’s okay.00:41:17She’s going to be fine.00:41:20I think…00:41:21She had to know.00:41:23that that’s how it was going to be.00:41:25If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t have left.
Temerity
00:41:30Yeah, but…00:41:34Who knows?00:41:37laughs00:41:39Just.00:41:40Take care. Be safe.00:41:43Make sure everyone else is all right.
Dungeon Master
00:41:45Yeah, you too.
Temerity
00:41:45Uh,00:41:47Yeah, Temerity is going to offer a hug.00:41:49their family.
Dungeon Master
00:41:51She’ll…00:41:53kind of hesitate for a moment.00:41:56But then she’ll take the hug and she’ll give Temerity a little hug.
Temerity
00:41:59Yay!
Dungeon Master
00:42:01It’s kind of like half-hearted, but she does it.
Temerity
00:42:01All right.00:42:03Yeah.00:42:05It’s like a little sibling hug.00:42:09No, it might have more stink there, but…00:42:12Yeah, that’ll be an intimerity, Will.00:42:15I’ll head back.00:42:17to the group.
Dungeon Master
00:42:19um,00:42:22How do you just walk around back00:42:24back around to the front and leave.
Temerity
00:42:27It’s maybe just going to go back to the tree.00:42:29Go back.00:42:30Trump.
Dungeon Master
00:42:31Yeah.
Temerity
00:42:33I won’t.00:42:34It’s Temerity’s not going to cut across here.
Dungeon Master
00:42:35Oh.00:42:39uh,00:42:40Give me a perception check.
Temerity
00:42:42Okay.00:42:44Yeah.00:42:46Seven.
Dungeon Master
00:42:47Okay, well, she rolled a one.00:42:49So as you get around here, as you come around the front of the house,00:42:53You just barely catch a glimpse of Eliza disappearing into the mists north of the barn.
Temerity
00:43:01Ah.00:43:07We got to go back.00:43:09All right.
Dungeon Master
00:43:12You rolled a five on the persuasion check. Oops, sorry.
Temerity
00:43:15Yeah.00:43:17Aww.00:43:19Man.
Hazel

00:43:32Hopefully.00:43:35um, Rhys.00:43:37Um, you were heading to the, the general store.
Rhysaene
00:43:37Yes.
Dungeon Master
00:43:43um,00:43:44Yep.00:43:45It is less like a store and more like a barn that’s been converted into a store.00:43:53um,00:43:54Sorry, I’m trying to find my…00:43:56my00:43:58My user notes.00:44:01Um,00:44:06It’s less of a store and more of a barn that’s been converted into a store.00:44:10It’s early, so they’re just barely open as you kind of head inside.00:44:16And it is very much a barn that’s had like00:44:18shelves put up and on the shelves are things you would find in like a small town00:44:24general store. There’s some farming tools and other tools, some hammers, nails, um,00:44:30horseshoes probably. But up towards the back around the counter, there’s shelves built into the wall, covered in00:44:40fresh baked breads, mmm, like…00:44:43These things just got put up, so…00:44:46They all smell very fresh. Behind
Rhysaene
00:44:46off.00:44:48Beautiful.
Dungeon Master
00:44:49uh,00:44:50Behind the Counter is an older woman, not elderly, but in her like early 50s, um,00:44:56Her hair is tied back into a practical knot, and she’s wearing a floral apron over her regular work clothes.00:45:06Um,00:45:08You kind of swing the door open and a little bell above it rings.00:45:11And she looks up and says, okay.00:45:14Oh!00:45:15Come in!00:45:17um00:45:18She smiles big and bright and says, “I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Can I get you anything?”

Dungeon Master
00:45:28Um, we have a00:45:31We have pastries and bread and…00:45:34Um,00:45:36That’s really it as far as what you might call breakfast.00:45:39Um,

Dungeon Master
00:45:43She says, yeah, sure.00:45:45Pick out what you like.

Dungeon Master
00:46:17uh,
Rhysaene
00:46:19Maybe some sweet pastries as well for the road.
Dungeon Master
00:46:22Uh-huh.00:46:23Um,00:46:25It’s mainly loaves of bread.00:46:28mainly00:46:30some longer and thinner and some better for slicing.00:46:33But they do have,00:46:36uh,00:46:37pastries that are laminated, folded dough00:46:40that are the light and fluffy ones that Hazel was talking about.00:46:43They don’t really have anything more elaborate than that.
Rhysaene
00:46:44Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:46:46It’s not like…00:46:48Miri’s stand where she had all kinds of like things covered in
Rhysaene
00:46:51Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:46:52like fruit preserves and powdered sugars and stuff. This is a lot simpler.00:46:57fair.

Rhysaene
00:47:28Okay.00:47:29Sounds good.00:47:31Um,00:47:35Oh, take two.00:47:37To help a family business?
Dungeon Master

Rhysaene
00:47:47Of course.
Dungeon Master

Temerity

Temerity
00:48:42Um,00:48:44Typically, Temerity would get…00:48:47laughs00:48:48- The merdy would get bread.00:48:52and the little puff pastries especially.00:48:55The puff pastries are definitely like a thing that they miss very much whenever they’re back in Argentum.00:49:03Um,
Rhysaene
00:49:04Hmm.
Temerity
00:49:04even if they could get quote unquote better,00:49:07Sweet treats.00:49:08Other than that,00:49:10They would occasionally get some fishing gear to do recreational fishing.
Dungeon Master
00:49:16You’re welcome.00:49:17Um,00:49:18Uh,00:49:19Rebecca … Bec thinks on it for a minute and she says, well,00:49:22Like everyone else around here, Temerity is a big fan of the puff pastries, the laminated bread.
Rhysaene
00:49:27Ooh.
Dungeon Master
00:49:29But also, they come in and buy bread for00:49:33for dinner with the Kembles or with Father Emberthumb.00:49:38Sometimes they come in for a fishing tackle, worms and…00:49:42uh, uh,00:49:45lures and that sort of thing.
Rhysaene

Rhysaene
00:56:30Yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:56:31Thank you very much.
Rhysaene
00:56:33Hmm.00:56:34Take your pick.
Dungeon Master
00:56:36He grabs a loaf of bread and…00:56:39heads over to a counter and finds a knife and starts slicing the bread into00:56:45To thick slices.00:56:48Um.00:56:48He, uh,00:56:50Uh…00:56:51kind of like lifts up a little, um,00:56:55like a little like cover,00:56:57um,00:56:58that’s,00:56:58uh,00:56:59over a, like a, a, a,00:57:01a bowl of butter and kind of scoops some out and spreads it onto his,00:57:05his bread and,00:57:07noms on it.
Rhysaene
00:57:09Oh.
Dungeon Master
00:57:10If you would like any, you’re welcome.
Rhysaene
00:57:10Thanks.00:57:14Oh, we got enough for everyone.
Temerity
00:57:17Hee hee hee hee.
Dungeon Master
00:57:18Yeah.00:57:18He smiles.00:57:20Says, “Are you heading out early today, Temerity?”
Temerity
00:57:25Yeah, it’s a long walk back to Argentum.
Dungeon Master
00:57:28That it is.
Temerity
00:57:32but.00:57:33uh,00:57:36Hopefully,00:57:37uh,00:57:39Hopefully the next visit isn’t too long.
Dungeon Master
00:57:43Mm-hmm.00:57:45He nods.
Temerity
00:57:48It moves.
Rhysaene
00:57:48Thank you for your hospitality, Father Emberthumb.
Dungeon Master
00:57:53- Oh, of course.00:57:55Anytime for friends of Temerity.
Rhysaene
00:57:57Rhys will do the equivalent of like a horse curtsy, like a centaur curtsy.
Temerity
00:57:59you
Dungeon Master
00:58:03laughs
Temerity
00:58:04Hee hee hee hee.00:58:05Yeah.00:58:09need.00:58:10Oh.
Rhysaene
00:58:10I’m going to go find Iva.
Temerity
00:58:12All right.
Iva
00:58:19Where is Hazel?
Hazel
00:58:24is00:58:25where the tent is, though, in the00:58:29in the abbey area.
Iva
00:58:35All right.00:58:38Iva seems to be mimicking00:58:41Hazel’s actions.
Hazel
00:58:44Well,00:58:46That would be difficult because Hazel is currently fighting with a tent.00:58:51And is, and is, and is.00:58:54Let’s see, actually.00:58:56Okay, yeah.
Rhysaene
00:58:56Thank you.
Hazel
00:58:58I rolled the00:58:58poorly a 7 on my flat d20 check to see how much I’m struggling with this with this tent.00:59:05She is…
Temerity
00:59:05Hehehehe.
Hazel
00:59:08She is wrapped in the tent and is screaming obscenities.
Iva
00:59:12All right, I’m assuming…
Temerity
00:59:12- Yeah.
Iva
00:59:14Pat.00:59:15that00:59:16The…00:59:18Lantern for some reason would teach me how to tent, right?
Dungeon Master
00:59:21I mean…00:59:25I wouldn’t put it like that.00:59:27Um,00:59:28I…00:59:31I feel like they’d expect you to figure out how to set up a tent on your own.00:59:35I don’t feel like that you get particular training for that. Maybe.00:59:38Yeah, why not? Sure.
Iva
00:59:40It’s just commonly…00:59:43Like, oh, it’s time to make recruits do something stupid here.
Dungeon Master
00:59:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Iva
00:59:47So, but then.00:59:50Um,00:59:51Iva would probably be pretty good at taking down her tights.00:59:55See Hazel Struggle would walk over to offer to help Hazel take down her tent.
Hazel
01:00:04be.01:00:07anyone.01:00:12I got it.01:00:13Yeah.
Iva
01:00:14Avigos, would you like help being told how to take down a tent?
Hazel
01:00:20No, I got it.01:00:22Oh, that let…01:00:23Well, not that this confounding man invention keep me down.
Temerity
01:00:29laughs
Hazel
01:00:29We speak to you.
Rhysaene
01:00:29What’s that?
Iva
01:00:30I would not. I would not.
Hazel
01:00:30to take this decision.
Iva
01:00:36Iva proceeds to watch.01:00:38as Hazel fights the 10th.
Hazel
01:00:41Yeah, she probably stays at that for like a good five minutes.01:00:44But eventually she’d worm her way out.
Dungeon Master
01:00:48laughs
Hazel
01:00:51throws the, throws the, like, tent cover at Iva.
Iva
01:00:55Okay.
Hazel
01:00:55There.
Iva
01:00:56I’ve,
Hazel
01:00:57Yeah.
Iva
01:00:58Iva would take it and start folding it up.01:01:03My only.
Hazel
01:01:07certainly needed 10.
Iva
01:01:12Iva goes, what if it rains?
Hazel
01:01:15What?
Temerity
01:01:17You get wet.
Hazel
01:01:17to make.01:01:18See you.
Temerity
01:01:19Thank you.
Hazel
01:01:20You can make a shelter so easily.
Iva
01:01:20Because that’s…01:01:23Yeah, or you could set up a tent.
Hazel
01:01:30comfortable.01:01:31and01:01:33and01:01:34The uncomfortable…01:01:36Mm-hmm.01:01:38harps.01:01:39Yeah.
Iva
01:01:41Thank you.
Hazel
01:01:42He just seems upset.
Iva
01:01:42I would not…01:01:49and goes, “Well, if you’d like, I can set up and de-set up your tent in the future.”
Hazel
01:01:53I’m not going to use a tent in the future.01:01:57Anyways, whatever.01:01:59looks like everyone else is together.01:02:01Let’s,01:02:03Get out of here.
Rhysaene
01:02:05Yeah.01:02:07Um, Rhys, I assume we’ll pop around the corner.
Iva
01:02:07I have a dog.
Rhysaene
01:02:13Uh,01:02:13Iva, how are you so?
Hazel
01:02:16What?
Temerity
01:02:17- Cool.
Rhysaene
01:02:18- Don’t you talk like that to me, young lady.
Iva
01:02:19Hello.
Hazel
01:02:23You don’t know how old I am.
Temerity
01:02:27Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:02:28I don’t know.
Hazel
01:02:28My age is irrelevant.
Rhysaene
01:02:30Thank you.
Iva
01:02:30Iva Snickers. She goes, she’s upset.01:02:32She lost to a 10.
Hazel
01:02:34I did not lose…
Rhysaene
01:02:38Okay.01:02:39Yeah.01:02:43Right.01:02:44I see.01:02:45Evidently, age does not matter.01:02:48Um,01:02:50Oh, I got you 1180 breads.
Hazel
01:02:53Oh.01:02:55Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:02:57Mm-hmm.
Temerity
01:02:57Mm-hmm.
Iva
01:03:00Thank you.
Hazel
01:03:00very,
Rhysaene
01:03:01And…
Hazel
01:03:01type of view.01:03:02Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:03:04Of course.01:03:07Um,01:03:07But…01:03:08I didn’t know necessarily what you like.01:03:12But I got you something.01:03:14A little sweeter.
Iva
01:03:16Iva smiles and says,01:03:17have accepted anything.
Rhysaene
01:03:24Well,01:03:27Take your pick.
Temerity
01:03:29Mm-hmm.
Iva
01:03:32Uh,01:03:33Iva reaches in and grabs01:03:36A random01:03:37or something from in the bag.
Rhysaene
01:03:40Mm-hmm.01:03:44Oh.01:03:46Good.01:03:49Thank you.01:03:50Now, come on, we’re going to see it.
Iva
01:03:56Iva nods that follows.
Temerity
01:03:59Hehehehe.
Rhysaene
01:04:05Oh, I also passed 11 nature breads to you.01:04:07Cheers.01:04:10That’s Hazel.
Hazel
01:04:12Did you get one for Sage?
Rhysaene
01:04:14Yes, well…01:04:16I got a ton, so you can pass one to Sage if you want.
Hazel
01:04:21Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:04:23Of course. Bye.01:04:25He’s a…01:04:27- Does he eat bread?
Hazel
01:04:34hasn’t killed him yet.01:04:35It’s
Temerity
01:04:36laughter
Dungeon Master
01:04:36Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:04:38Huh.
Hazel
01:04:42There’s,
Rhysaene
01:04:42Well, I ain’t want to question.
Temerity
01:04:49and
Hazel
01:04:50My dog is magic, okay?
Temerity
01:04:51Ha ha ha.
Rhysaene
01:04:51Oops.01:04:52Thank you.
Hazel
01:04:52Like, let’s not question things.
Rhysaene
01:04:55Yeah.
Hazel
01:04:56I wouldn’t say good.01:05:00and she’ll01:05:03should probably just walk into the abbey to go say hi to everyone else.
Rhysaene
01:05:07Yeah.01:05:09We eat breakfast.
Temerity
01:05:11Yeah, we eat breakfast.01:05:13- Breakfast.
Dungeon Master
01:05:13the
Luma
01:05:13Nom, nom, nom, nom.
Dungeon Master
01:05:14the,01:05:16The breads are good. They’re very well baked. The laminated pastries are especially delicious.
Temerity
01:05:23Yes.
Dungeon Master
01:05:23All, all, all, all.
Rhysaene
01:05:25Yes!
Temerity
01:05:26Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Dungeon Master
01:05:27Um, Luma, you’ve been poring over that book01:05:31uh,01:05:32For since you got it, except for the time you took the rest, why don’t you give me a history check?
Luma
01:05:40Oh, God.01:05:41Oh.01:05:46I probably should have had this open.01:05:48because I forget every session.
Dungeon Master
01:05:50Thank you.
Luma
01:05:52Oh.01:05:53Uh…01:05:55What’s my mod?01:05:57Uh,01:05:5915.
Dungeon Master
01:06:01Yeah, a 15.01:06:03You work in the Bureau of Infrastructure and Mapping.01:06:06It is a civic institution, but it is…01:06:09ostensibly01:06:11uh,01:06:12in the like informal distinction of the profession of being an archivist.01:06:17The author is specifically listed as Old Stone Archivist01:06:22Hulduro.01:06:23A name that01:06:25isn’t personally familiar to you, you haven’t met him, you don’t know him, but01:06:31as you like turn this book over and over and over again,01:06:35it occurs to you, you have heard the name,01:06:38Um,01:06:40He is, as far as you know,01:06:43employed, uh,01:06:45either employed by or works with.01:06:47It’s hard to really say when it comes to archivists,01:06:49but he is a historian associated with the Silver Archives,01:06:53the, like…01:06:54the branch of the01:06:58the church that is responsible for things like the libraries and,01:07:01and,01:07:02historical records in the city of Argentum.01:07:06But he is very much, as far as you know,01:07:09You probably heard the name a couple years ago in passing and was alive at the time at least.01:07:14So this is not a person who wrote this book and died like…01:07:19decades ago.
Luma
01:07:22Nice.01:07:25I was just mumbling to herself while writing this.01:07:27And if anybody listens in, it’s like, I’m going to find this guy.
Dungeon Master
01:07:27Thank you.01:07:31fucking get this guy.
Temerity
01:07:32Yeah.
Luma
01:07:32uh,
Rhysaene
01:07:34Yeah.
Temerity
01:07:37and fucking get this guy.
Luma
01:07:37No, it’s still negative with his opinionated opinions.
Temerity
01:07:40Hehehehehehe!
Luma
01:07:41Flips the page.
Temerity
01:07:43Yeah.01:07:44Hehehehe.01:07:45She’s very invested, Luma.
Iva
01:07:48Yeah, I think this is the most upset I’ve ever seen Luma.
Luma
01:07:48Yeah.01:07:52I’m not upset.01:07:54I’m01:07:55academically challenged.01:07:59And I don’t like it.
Temerity
01:08:01Yeah.
Luma
01:08:03This is the first book about stuff before the…
Temerity
01:08:03- Yeah.
Luma
01:08:06the elder Exodus that I’ve seen like at all.01:08:10I don’t like this guy.
Temerity
01:08:12Yeah.01:08:13but,01:08:16But why don’t you like him?
Iva
01:08:16- What’s wrong?
Luma
01:08:20Luma glances at that risk and then she quite stout and says, it’ll take six years.
Temerity
01:08:24Hehehehe.
Hazel
01:08:24Hey, hey, hey.
Rhysaene
01:08:25Mm-hmm.01:08:27No, you can talk.
Luma
01:08:30Are you sure?
Rhysaene
01:08:31Yeah, of course you can.
Luma
01:08:33Okay.
Rhysaene
01:08:33I was just messing with you.
Luma
01:08:35Okay.01:08:36I can’t tell.01:08:37Um,01:08:38This guy wrote a book about the Elder Exodus, which is a topic that I’m really interested in.01:08:44Um,01:08:45but he made it seem to suggest that the old people that left were01:08:49leaving because they were stubborn and self-centered.01:08:53And that doesn’t sound right.
Iva
01:08:59- How does it not sound right?01:09:01Old people beasts.01:09:03So, Visions,01:09:05self-centered.
Luma
01:09:05No.
Iva
01:09:06Like other people?
Luma
01:09:06Well, no, because…01:09:08No, because my grandpa was one of the ones that left and he wasn’t self-centered.
Temerity
01:09:14you.
Luma
01:09:14Well,01:09:15I never actually met him.01:09:16But the stories I’ve heard, he definitely wasn’t self-centered.
Temerity
01:09:19Yeah.
Hazel
01:09:20hate them not.01:09:24She doesn’t know anything.01:09:25She just, she just, she gives.
Luma
01:09:25Yeah.
Temerity
01:09:26Yeah.
Hazel
01:09:27knows what she’s talking about.01:09:28Um,01:09:29- Cool.
Temerity
01:09:34I don’t know.
Hazel
01:09:34The other exists is something that01:09:36is01:09:41- Okay.01:09:41Interesting.01:09:42to me.01:09:43So,01:09:45I,01:09:48Don’t tell.
Luma
01:09:48You want to find this guy with me?
Hazel
01:09:50I did it.01:09:51Good to see you.
Iva
01:09:51I’ll find a guy with nukes.
Luma
01:09:53You’re a hunter, right? You can, like, hunt them.
Hazel
01:09:55laughing
Dungeon Master
01:09:55Yes.
Temerity
01:09:56laughter
Luma
01:09:57She holds out the book.
Hazel
01:09:57Huh?
Luma
01:09:58Can you find a scent?
Hazel
01:10:00She smells the book.01:10:03She just goes…01:10:07Unfortunately, I don’t think send alone will take me to one.
Dungeon Master
01:10:10Yeah, unfortunately, give me a perception check, Hazel.
Luma
01:10:10- Ah.
Hazel
01:10:14- Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:10:16Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Iva
01:10:18I’m assuming this is an answer.
Temerity
01:10:1830.
Luma
01:10:19The book smells so heavily of puff pastry right now.
Hazel
01:10:20Good.01:10:2312.
Temerity
01:10:23Ooh.
Dungeon Master
01:10:24- Yeah, it mainly smells like old book.
Rhysaene
01:10:25Thank you.
Dungeon Master
01:10:28It smells a little of puff pastry.
Hazel
01:10:28uh,
Dungeon Master
01:10:30Um,01:10:33And, and that’s really off you all you get off it.01:10:36If you were to go all in and become like a wolf.01:10:39and give it a sniff.01:10:41you’d be able to, you would be able to track someone.01:10:44You’d be able to track Luma and maybe Father Emberthumb.
Hazel
01:10:47uh,
Temerity
01:10:48Bye.
Hazel
01:10:48Uhm?01:10:49Hazel just goes,01:10:50Mm-hmm.01:10:51Booksmart.01:10:52Uh, I couldn’t.
Temerity
01:10:53hehehe
Hazel
01:10:53um
Luma
01:10:53Yeah, she takes a deep sniff of the book.01:10:55It’s awesome.
Hazel
01:10:57hee hee01:10:58Unfortunately, I won’t be able to…01:11:01to find them off of this alone.01:11:03So,01:11:07If you’re looking,01:11:09They could probably help, yes.01:11:14If it’s written on the elder Exodus, though, this
Luma
01:11:14Only if you want to.
Hazel
01:11:17book must be fairly old.
Luma
01:11:19Yeah, it was written in, well, it was published in 1974.
Hazel
01:11:25Hazel blinks.01:11:26And.
Temerity
01:11:28Does Hazel know what year it is?
Hazel
01:11:30Probably not.01:11:31She probably has never had to keep track of bedtime.
Temerity
01:11:32I’m sorry.01:11:36Yeah.
Luma
01:11:37Well,
Hazel
01:11:38And so she’s like, and…
Luma
01:11:38a little bit of
Hazel
01:11:39Today is…
Luma
01:11:40Luma does a quick thing.01:11:41This is 40 years ago.
Hazel
01:11:43Ah.
Temerity
01:11:44- Yeah.
Hazel
01:11:45Well,
Luma
01:11:45Yeah, it’s old book, like older than me.
Hazel
01:11:49Yes.
Luma
01:11:49But I’m pretty sure this guy’s alive.
Hazel
01:11:49older than older.01:11:54Well, if he’s not, we can track down his kin.
Luma
01:11:54Well,
Hazel
01:11:56I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
01:11:57It’s…
Luma
01:11:59That’s a good idea.01:12:00Maybe they’ll know something.
Hazel
01:12:03He’s nuts.01:12:05Um,01:12:10Hey,01:12:16Actually, I wonder what a Hecate.01:12:18talk.01:12:19about their
Dungeon Master
01:12:21about that elder exodus.
Iva
01:12:24- Thank you.
Hazel
01:12:24Yeah, and specifically how…01:12:27Her parents just kind of dipped.01:12:29Ed.
Luma
01:12:29Thank you.
Hazel
01:12:30After that.
Dungeon Master
01:12:30because01:12:32Because Hazel’s parents specifically left after.01:12:36I feel like it probably wouldn’t have come up.
Hazel
01:12:40uh
Dungeon Master
01:12:41like very deliberately on Hecate’s part,01:12:44And if Hazel never asked about it,01:12:47Which, like, Hazel wouldn’t really have a reason to,01:12:49because Hazel isn’t, like…01:12:51Hazel’s never been to school.01:12:53So,
Hazel
01:12:53Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:12:55I feel like no, actually. Hazel probably wouldn’t know anything about it.
Hazel
01:12:59uh,01:13:00Wonder if Hazel didn’t know…
Dungeon Master
01:13:00Like you…
Hazel
01:13:03I also mean just like,01:13:06Yeah, Hazel for sure wouldn’t know anything about the eggs.01:13:10uh,
Dungeon Master
01:13:12If Hecate knows anything about it, she has never talked about it.01:13:17To the point where if Hazel knows the common knowledge level of…01:13:22150 years ago, a lot of elves and dwarves left.01:13:25It wasn’t from Hecate.01:13:27It was from one of her other sisters.
Hazel
01:13:30uh,01:13:34uh,01:13:36Yeah, it’ll just be like,01:13:38uh,01:13:39I can’t help on the subject, but I can at least help you find this guy.
Luma
01:13:44Okay.01:13:46Thank you.01:13:47I know it’s like
Hazel
01:13:48Oh.
Luma
01:13:49Way less grand than…01:13:51rituals to protect the veil and01:13:54Um,01:13:56relationship drama.01:13:57But…
Hazel
01:13:58Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:13:58Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:14:00Hmm.
Hazel
01:14:00I,01:14:01disagree.
Iva
01:14:01Wait, there was a relationship?
Hazel
01:14:02I don’t know.01:14:04Oh no.01:14:10Yes, it appears.01:14:11She just kind of glances at Temerity.
Temerity
01:14:13- Yeah.01:14:15Temerity just shakes her head.
Hazel
01:14:15uh,
Temerity
01:14:18No.
Hazel
01:14:19I’ve been instructed, I’m not allowed, I, then she goes, right.01:14:23I apologize, I’m not allowed to speak on this situation.01:14:27And then she turns back to Luma and says,01:14:30Uh,01:14:31something as01:14:33something as historically significant as this event01:14:36that they’re talking about.01:14:38Those seem quite important.01:14:40especially if it pertains to someone01:14:42Tim.01:14:43to people you know of.
Luma
01:14:46Well, yeah, it’s…
Hazel
01:14:46family is
Luma
01:14:48It’s really important to me. I just meant like it’s not really important to like anybody else.
Temerity
01:14:54Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:14:55T-t-t-t.01:14:56Hazel just kind of shrubs and says, well,01:14:59I’m an elf.
Temerity
01:15:01Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:15:02Did you have a great grandparent that left?
Hazel
01:15:05Um,01:15:07I don’t.01:15:08know anything of my heritage.
Luma
01:15:11Oh.01:15:13OK, so maybe this is a little bit more important for you then.01:15:15We’ve got to find your heritage.01:15:16after we find this guy.
Temerity
01:15:18Hehehehehehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:15:18- Yeah.
Hazel
01:15:19Hehehehehehe.
Iva
01:15:19Is heritage that important?
Hazel
01:15:23Um,01:15:24Mm-hmm.01:15:25Is it?01:15:26I was never, I’ve never,
Iva
01:15:27I don’t know.
Hazel
01:15:31another01:15:32I’ve never had family, but
Luma
01:15:37That’s really sad, actually.01:15:40I mean…
Hazel
01:15:40Oh.
Luma
01:15:41I think you have family. You’ve got your coven.01:15:44They seem pretty family-like.
Hazel
01:15:45Father Edmuth is not around, is he?
Temerity
01:15:48You have yours.
Dungeon Master
01:15:50No, no, he’s inside.01:15:52He’s…
Hazel
01:15:52Okay, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:15:53sipping coffee.
Hazel
01:15:54Um,
Luma
01:15:55Luma would have absolutely blundered that01:15:57even.
Hazel
01:15:57Uh-huh.
Temerity
01:15:58laughter
Rhysaene
01:15:58I thought you were gonna… I thought you were gonna say, “He doesn’t give a fuck.”
Hazel
01:16:03- Ooh!
Luma
01:16:04I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
01:16:04Wow.
Temerity
01:16:05He’s chill.
Dungeon Master
01:16:05I would go that far. I don’t think he’s that chill.
Temerity
01:16:08Yeah.
Hazel
01:16:09Hee hee hee.
Dungeon Master
01:16:10He’s pretty chill. I don’t think he’s that chill.
Rhysaene
01:16:12No, no, no, no, I get it.
Temerity
01:16:13You know.
Hazel
01:16:15Hmm.
Rhysaene
01:16:15I was just, I was self-expecting you to say that.
Luma
01:16:18Right.
Temerity
01:16:19laughter
Hazel
01:16:20- Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:16:20We’ll immediately like collapse our hands over her mouth.
Temerity
01:16:20Yes.01:16:22- Yeah.
Luma
01:16:23I mean, group of old ladies…
Hazel
01:16:23Hehe.01:16:25Yeah.
Luma
01:16:25With cool hats.
Temerity
01:16:26-
Hazel
01:16:28Peter Carr: They are.01:16:30Perhaps the closest thing I have to family, but no.
Luma
01:16:37We’ve got to find you a family.
Hazel
01:16:37They were simply
Dungeon Master
01:16:37- Yeah.
Hazel
01:16:39Thank you.01:16:41laughs
Temerity
01:16:41laughter
Hazel
01:16:42It’s…01:16:43- Yeah.
Iva
01:16:44- Okay.01:16:45Hi, Michael.
Hazel
01:16:45Very well.
Iva
01:16:47Iva goes, well, I mean, now my family is with what01:16:51would be closer to Hazel’s family, I guess.
Luma
01:16:57Well, joint family.
Hazel
01:16:59No.
Temerity
01:17:00Blended family.
Hazel
01:17:01They’re not my family.
Luma
01:17:01Ha ha ha.01:17:02Yeah.
Hazel
01:17:04laughs
Iva
01:17:05That’s why I said,
Hazel
01:17:05Especially not…
Iva
01:17:06to our families.
Hazel
01:17:06Especially not Anthusa.
Luma
01:17:09Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:17:09- Yeah.
Temerity
01:17:12Don’t you call them sisters?01:17:14It’s not familial at all.
Hazel
01:17:17Didn’t Freya literally talk to you about that?01:17:20I thought the Merity and Freya had a conversation about the whole sister title.
Temerity
01:17:24Did they? That might be the case. There’s been too many sessions.
Luma
01:17:24laughing
Hazel
01:17:28No, it’s okay.
Temerity
01:17:28Too many weeks.
Hazel
01:17:29Because…
Luma
01:17:29to,
Hazel
01:17:31Because Temerity was like, I didn’t realize Hazel was adopted.01:17:34And then Freya was like, oh, it’s not really like that.
Temerity
01:17:35Oh, yeah.01:17:38Yeah.
Hazel
01:17:40uh,01:17:41But01:17:42uh,01:17:44If Temerity says that, if she doesn’t.
Temerity
01:17:45All right.
Hazel
01:17:46It’s.
Temerity
01:17:47Nah.01:17:48than not.
Hazel
01:17:48Okay.01:17:50uh,01:17:54um,01:17:55as, as, as,01:17:57As much as I trust them and as much as they trust me, it is important that01:18:01We keep01:18:05the,01:18:07the ties and the01:18:09ties in the sisterhood more01:18:12uh,01:18:15Mm-hmm.01:18:16would be the term, I guess like,01:18:18professional rather than familial.
Temerity
01:18:21Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:18:24Oh, that sucks. I’m sorry.
Hazel
01:18:26Thank you.
Iva
01:18:27I would nod to goes, well, if you need, I’m all about having fountain families.01:18:31I never had a family other than01:18:34up.
Temerity
01:18:39Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:18:40Thank you.
Iva
01:18:43I don’t even know if my mom and dad01:18:47for things.
Hazel
01:18:51Though I trust you all with my life, I believe01:18:53thinking if you01:18:56all is anything01:18:59close to01:19:01family with01:19:02laughs01:19:03that create issues.
Luma
01:19:05Nah, we broke the friend bread.
Temerity
01:19:07Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:19:07very true, we are friends.
Rhysaene
01:19:08Thank you.
Temerity
01:19:10We haven’t broke the family bread.
Luma
01:19:10Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:19:10I was going to say…
Hazel
01:19:11And that is all.
Rhysaene
01:19:13- Let’s start up, friends.
Luma
01:19:15We keep renewing the friend bread too, which is awesome.
Temerity
01:19:15Hehehehe.
Luma
01:19:18We’ve had bread.
Hazel
01:19:18Who?
Luma
01:19:19Every morning.
Temerity
01:19:21Hehehehehehe.
Rhysaene
01:19:21Peace.
Iva
01:19:22How many friend friends does it take to get to family?
Luma
01:19:26That’s not how that works.
Hazel
01:19:31too many to last your lifetime?
Iva
01:19:34You don’t know how long I live.
Luma
01:19:37I don’t think you know how long you live.
Iva
01:19:39I don’t know how long I live. That’s how I know she doesn’t know how long I live.
Hazel
01:19:44to01:19:45truth.01:19:45I don’t know what you are.
Temerity
01:19:47Heheheheh.
Iva
01:19:49or I know I’m an iPhone.
Luma
01:19:50Yeah.
Temerity
01:19:51Mm-hmm.
Iva
01:19:54and a shape changer.01:19:56That’s what people would do.
Temerity
01:19:56Well,
Iva
01:19:58se, I guess.
Hazel
01:20:02Cecil just kind of like looks around the walls of the church that they’re talking and goes, I hope.
Temerity
01:20:02Oh.
Rhysaene
01:20:06There we go.
Hazel
01:20:08I hope Bahamut is truly dead.01:20:10Otherwise, he
Dungeon Master
01:20:13- Sorry.
Hazel
01:20:15He must be listening.
Temerity
01:20:17laughs
Hazel
01:20:19Oh,01:20:20She looks over at Temerity and says,01:20:23No offense.01:20:24I’m going to go.
Temerity
01:20:26He’s like a bit confused.01:20:29- Yeah.01:20:30Not taken?
Luma
01:20:30Okay.
Temerity
01:20:31Because, you know…01:20:34They believe Bob instead.
Hazel
01:20:35Temerity’s like, I don’t know, man, I worship the flame, not that bum.
Temerity
01:20:39Yeah, it’s ready to…
Luma
01:20:40I don’t know.
Temerity
01:20:41I’m just like, yeah, Bahamut’s dead.
Rhysaene
01:20:44Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:20:46That’s another topic of historical discovery I want to pursue.01:20:49But after I find this guy…
Temerity
01:20:51Hehehehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:20:52- Just, just, just, just.
Hazel
01:20:52Hmm.
Rhysaene
01:20:53Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:20:53- Hey.
Temerity
01:20:53Well.01:20:56Well,01:20:57Probably have the best of luck finding them in Argentum.
Luma
01:21:01Oh yeah, definitely. He’s with the Silver Archivists.
Temerity
01:21:04Oh.
Luma
01:21:05Or at least he was.
Temerity
01:21:09Well, maybe.
Hazel
01:21:09Does this man have a man?
Iva
01:21:10but it’s too hard to find him.
Luma
01:21:12Well, I know about him.01:21:13I just don’t know where he is.01:21:14That’s why I figured Hazel could find him.
Hazel
01:21:16Yeah, well…01:21:17that, look.01:21:19Yes.
Temerity
01:21:20Hehehehe.
Hazel
01:21:22I.01:21:23And01:21:25I’m, I’m, I’m,01:21:26privy to01:21:28Not only01:21:30the skills of tracking01:21:31uh,01:21:33living creatures to mostly save it from01:21:36pieces.01:21:37And.01:21:37monsters.01:21:40um01:21:41I can also01:21:42use.01:21:43uh, manners of.01:21:45a divination to locate people.
Luma
01:21:50Oh, you could do that. I was just going to ask my boss.
Hazel
01:21:51David.01:21:53Oh.01:21:54Well, yes, of course.
Luma
01:21:56I think he’s registered with the Archivists.
Temerity
01:21:57That might be the…01:21:59I think that’s a good lead.
Iva
01:22:04We could also ask those people we owe a favor to,01:22:07So I don’t know if that’s, you know,
Hazel
01:22:08Mm-hmm.
Iva
01:22:10I’ve been planned.
Hazel
01:22:12I…01:22:13rather01:22:15Stay away from the syndicates if we can help it.
Temerity
01:22:16Ha ha ha.
Hazel
01:22:20Asking
Temerity
01:22:20- Yeah.
Hazel
01:22:21A favor of someone you owe a favor to is hardly…01:22:26But it’s hardly ever a good idea.
Temerity
01:22:29really gonna like close their eyes and like
Iva
01:22:30of a nod that goes,
Temerity
01:22:31pinches their nose like fuck I forgot01:22:33about that
Dungeon Master
01:22:34- Absolutely.
Iva
01:22:34I would prefer not to ask them too, but you know.
Luma
01:22:39If my dad found out I had no…
Iva
01:22:39It is a resource.
Luma
01:22:41To sell drugs to people to pay off at that, I think you’d be very upset.01:22:44So let’s avoid that.
Temerity
01:22:47is.
Hazel
01:22:48Mm-hmm.
Temerity
01:22:48laughs01:22:50We can avoid them. That’d be very preferable.
Luma
01:22:53I also don’t want to blow up lanterns.
Temerity
01:22:55Yeah.
Hazel
01:22:57True. I think we’ve done enough terrorism as a group and she looks at Iva.
Iva
01:23:02I wish I was.
Temerity
01:23:02Yeah.
Iva
01:23:03What did the terrorism? I didn’t know.
Temerity
01:23:07laughter
Hazel
01:23:09Oh, well, Argentum is waiting, everyone.01:23:12off we go.
Temerity
01:23:12Yes.
Hazel
01:23:13What do you do?
Dungeon Master
01:23:15um01:23:16Yeah. You,01:23:17you.01:23:18Finish tearing down the tents, make sure the fire’s out.01:23:21um,01:23:22gather all your things and you head out.01:23:25Um,01:23:26As it gets later in the day,01:23:28The…01:23:30the fog starts to clear up01:23:32The clouds don’t part. It stays cloudy and it stays pretty cold. I don’t think it gets above like the high 30s.01:23:39Um,01:23:41And you begin to make your way01:23:44along the old road back towards Argentum.01:23:50And I will count how long that takes.01:23:54one.
Temerity
01:23:54It can take about 10 hours.
Hazel
01:23:57as they01:23:58Start walking.01:24:02Hazel is going to turn to risk.01:24:05Take risks.
Rhysaene
01:24:06No.

Rhysaene
01:26:21Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:26:24Um,01:26:26- Mm-hmm.01:26:27Rhys.01:26:28Um,01:26:31Rhys would know.01:26:33The first thing that would occur to Rhys is taverns and inns.01:26:37Rhys is very much a socialite.01:26:41And so some of the more upscale taverns and inns…01:26:45Um,01:26:46Rhys would would know and uh it those kind of places are almost always hiring um01:26:53There was the…01:26:56the, uh,01:26:57the sterling outfitters and expeditionary where Rhys bought the shield before you left.01:27:03where Miri Wetherlite is currently working, and places like that, just like general merchants.
Rhysaene
01:27:10Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:27:11But that’s…01:27:12The thing that immediately occurs to Rhys in Rhys’s fears are…01:27:19like taverns and inns and,01:27:21and,01:27:21and restaurants.01:27:22And that would be the dancing sword,01:27:25um,01:27:26Um,01:27:27In the Hearth Wall, the sterling sovereign in the Hearth Wall, the place you guys all met up and ate, was like a big…01:27:37inn and restaurant…01:27:39Um,01:27:42And the, um,01:27:48I forget what it was. There’s another…01:27:50There’s another tavern that Rhys knows.01:27:53tavern but01:27:54but I can’t find my notes on it.

Rhysaene
01:28:25Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:28:26So like Risto’s places like that,01:28:29Um,01:28:30And then like, obviously there’s like the average, like mercantile jobs, um,01:28:36apothecary or like at a medicinal clinic are also kind of things that would be01:28:41up Hazel’s alley.01:28:44finding a job at a greenhouse would not be impossible.01:28:48It’s just a little, like, it’s harder to figure out where to start for that.
Rhysaene
01:28:52Yeah.
Hazel

Dungeon Master
01:30:50Okay.
Iva
01:30:53What if I joined the Order of the Lantern?
Temerity
01:30:56Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:30:58I’m also going to be right back. Sorry.
Temerity
01:30:58Hehehehe.01:31:00- All right, in that case, I’ll also verify.
Rhysaene
01:31:00Yeah.
Luma
01:31:03Same.
Rhysaene
01:31:04Everyone’s gone.
Luma
01:31:05Small break.
Hazel
01:32:26Sorry.
Iva
01:32:28Welcome back.
Hazel
01:33:16What’s Iva going to do for work, Bruce?
Iva
01:33:19That’s a great question, and I have the worst ideas.01:33:24but also…
Hazel
01:33:24and the other.
Iva
01:33:26I was like, you know who probably could…01:33:30Abilities the best.
Hazel
01:33:36work.01:33:36merchant.
Iva
01:33:38Yes.01:33:38She goes and works with the syndicate.
Hazel
01:33:43I mean, yeah, true.01:33:45I think it would be really funny01:33:48for Iva to01:33:51to see this new lease on life and immediately01:33:54rope herself back into the syndicate.
Iva
01:34:00Well, she was never like in this indicator.01:34:02Actually, she held most of the cards for the longest time.01:34:06She threw her head away to try and get a child out of the city.
Hazel
01:34:11uh,
Dungeon Master
01:34:17I’m back.
Hazel
01:34:18Welcome back.
Dungeon Master
01:34:19Thank you.
Hazel
01:34:20I think you should absolutely do that, Bruce.
Iva
01:34:23I think so, too.
Hazel
01:34:29That is probably also what Hazel’s best.01:34:32Like, if she really wanted to do work, that would…01:34:35make her like the greatest01:34:38Mm-hmm.01:34:40make use of her skill set the most, it would definitely be just working for the Syndicate.
Dungeon Master
01:34:45-
Temerity
01:34:46I’m back.
Luma
01:34:47I’m back.
Iva
01:34:47Okay.

Hazel
01:35:28Yeah, she’s back.
Temerity
01:35:28Yeah.
Iva
01:35:30OK.
Dungeon Master
01:35:31Um,01:35:33The road to Argentum01:35:34is pretty sparsely populated this time of year as you leave Crick’s Bend.01:35:40But at like five hours in, it starts to…01:35:45develop more population as you pass by areas where farms are, these little hamlets.01:35:51Um,01:35:52You don’t really encounter anything out of the ordinary, and by the time you get back to Argentum, it is…01:36:02Probably like mid-late afternoon.01:36:06As you enter the city through the North Gate.01:36:09Um,01:36:12you,01:36:13don’t have any problem getting in or anything like that.01:36:15So you are once again back in the great city of Argentum.
Temerity
01:36:21Yay!01:36:23Guess who’s back, back, back.
Dungeon Master
01:36:26laughs

Temerity
01:36:43- Hehehehe.
Hazel
01:36:44Maybe.
Iva
01:36:46the leader of our genome, uh,

Temerity
01:37:07Uh,
Iva
01:37:09You know, five days.
Temerity
01:37:13No, Temerity doesn’t have to be anywhere.01:37:16What time is it?01:37:18Probably like around seven-ish, right?
Dungeon Master
01:37:18Uh,01:37:19No, it’s…01:37:21I think like around, I’ll do the math again, probably left around like nine.01:37:26So three hours to noon and then another six hours.01:37:30So it’s around six.01:37:34So it’s a little later than I thought it was.01:37:36It’d be around six.
Temerity
01:37:38Okay.01:37:40Then yeah, no, Temerity doesn’t really have any words.01:37:42They need to be, uh,01:37:45except be in the barracks01:37:50Mm-hmm.01:37:51In time to wake up in the morning.01:37:52Hee hee hee hee hee.

Temerity
01:38:40Well, if you’re going to…01:38:42I was going to say, if we’re…01:38:45If you’re going to get a job at a tavern, maybe01:38:48If there’s one you’re interested in, we could all meet up there and01:38:52check it out as a place.01:38:55keep the party together.

Temerity
01:39:30Yeah, I found it.01:39:31Thank you.
Luma

Dungeon Master
01:39:32uh,
Luma
01:39:36uh,01:39:37And also01:39:38Ask about that guy.

Temerity
01:39:58It’s in the bottom left corner of the map.01:40:01I’m doing my little thingy, but it’s--01:40:06It’s literally in the bottom left.
Luma
01:40:06- Yeah.
Temerity
01:40:07If you go to the main chapel in the middle,01:40:10And you go directly north
Dungeon Master
01:40:10Okay.
Temerity
01:40:13or sorry, you go directly south01:40:15West.01:40:16it should be that first building on the waterfront.
Dungeon Master
01:40:20Ah, okay, I see it.
Temerity
01:40:21Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:40:22uh,01:40:25Up.01:40:25Okay.
Luma
01:40:26- It’s just really, so.01:40:28That’s a fancy place that costs a lot.
Dungeon Master
01:40:30Yes.
Temerity
01:40:31Yeah.
Luma
01:40:33I like the dancing sword. It was cheap.
Hazel
01:40:35Mm-hmm.01:40:36Well, Hazel’s a cutie patootie. She’s definitely a shoot-win.
Temerity
01:40:40Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:40:41what you think.
Hazel
01:40:43No, no.01:40:45Hazel thinks that.01:40:46I think they’re going to take one look at this weird little thing01:40:50and be like, what?01:40:51Get this…
Dungeon Master
01:40:54Um,01:40:55Yeah, so okay.01:40:57There’s been…01:40:59There has been talk of01:41:04As far as I know,01:41:05going to the Sterling Sovereign01:41:09and Luma going to Luma’s work.01:41:13Is that the plan?
Iva
01:41:16Iva wanted to go check the dead drops.
Dungeon Master
01:41:19Yes.01:41:21Um,01:41:24So Luma and Iva are splitting off from everyone else, question mark.
Temerity
01:41:29Uh, Temerity will…01:41:30check in with the barracks to make sure01:41:33that there’s nothing wrong because Hazel and01:41:36risks, we’re going to go check01:41:38Rhys was going to go check her mail and then…
Luma
01:41:42Mm-hmm.
Temerity
01:41:42Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:41:43Okay. I will.01:41:44I will remind y’all that I believe Rhys had offered to let Iva stay with her also.
Rhysaene
01:41:51Mm-hmm.
Iva
01:41:51Yes.
Temerity
01:41:52Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:41:55So I was checking the dead drops.01:41:57Luma’s going to her work.01:41:59um,01:42:01Rhys, Temerity’s going to the barracks, and then Rhys and Hazel are going to Rhys’s apartment.01:42:06and then you’re all heading to the sterling sovereign.
Rhysaene
01:42:09Yeah.
Temerity
01:42:10Yeah.
Hazel
01:42:10Yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:42:13We’ll start…01:42:15with,01:42:16Iva01:42:18You go…01:42:19to check the dead drops.01:42:21Um,01:42:22you know there are three dead drops dedicated just to you.01:42:26um,01:42:28it01:42:28Believe it or not, just being a light warden willing to work with the…01:42:36the Tarnar Syndicate already had you as a pretty important asset.01:42:40Um,01:42:41The way it worked is there are three separate dead drops,01:42:44Um,01:42:45You were supposed to check depending on the time of day.01:42:51or not the time of day, the time in the week.01:42:53early week, midweek, and late week.01:42:56um,01:42:58But you could leave something in there any time, and you know that’s when stuff gets picked up and dropped off.01:43:03You go and you check each one. It’s been…01:43:06A good little bit, I think about five or six days since the last time you checked at DeadDrop.01:43:12Um,
Iva
01:43:12Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:43:13There’s nothing.
Iva
01:43:14I think the last time I dropped something…
Dungeon Master
01:43:17Yes.01:43:18I think so.01:43:19But there’s nothing in any of the three.01:43:21You check the potted plant…01:43:23in the dirt.01:43:24You check another one, which is an old, like,01:43:27an old sewer, um,01:43:30What you call them.01:43:32Um,01:43:33sewer manhole cover.01:43:36that isn’t locked because that section of sewers caved in years ago. Um, but no one like messes with01:43:42it. Um, and sometimes they use that as a dead drop. You check the third one, um, which is, uh,01:43:48just in like the, an alleyway between, um, like a really divy bar and, uh,01:43:54and an apartment.01:43:56Um,01:43:57You check all three and there is not anything in any of them.
Iva
01:44:03rain.01:44:04change.01:44:17Mm.
Dungeon Master
01:44:19Give me an investigation check as you do.01:44:23like go through this.
Iva
01:44:28That is a natural 18. I think I have a plus two.
Dungeon Master
01:44:31Oh.
Iva
01:44:36Uh, let’s see here.01:44:39- No, I have a minus one to investigation.
Dungeon Master
01:44:41So your total is?
Iva
01:44:44- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:44:4517.01:44:48Um,01:44:49With a 17 at each of these dead drops,01:44:52You don’t find anything left for you in any of them, but you kind of like inspect them and check them out and you can tell01:44:58that they have like01:45:01Particularly the sewer one, you can tell it’s been regularly opened.01:45:05The potted plant, you can tell the dirt is like freshly turned.01:45:12um,01:45:13So you can tell they are checking them or someone is, and there’s just not anything left in them.
Iva
01:45:22- Hey.01:45:25- Yeah, all right.01:45:27Um,01:45:32All…01:45:33Oh.
Dungeon Master
01:45:42Anything else?
Iva
01:45:44I can’t keep thinking, I’m thinking.
Dungeon Master
01:45:48While you think about that, we will move on…01:45:51Um,01:45:52Temerity, you head to the barracks.01:45:55Um,
Temerity
01:45:55Alright.
Dungeon Master
01:45:56you check in with like,01:45:58your little cubby where any messages for you or any mail ends up01:46:03Um,01:46:04And there’s just a really brief, like, note.01:46:07Um,01:46:08that says things are proceeding well and we hope01:46:12to begin your Dragoon training in the next few days. Until then,01:46:16There’s not really anything for you to do. And it is signed by Rhea Larnas.
Temerity
01:46:22Okay.01:46:23Is it dated at all?01:46:24So like,
Dungeon Master
01:46:25And you01:46:27Yes.
Temerity
01:46:27Temerity knows.01:46:29Okay.
Dungeon Master
01:46:29It would be dated this morning.
Temerity
01:46:32Oh, okay, okay. So I have a few days off still.
Dungeon Master
01:46:32Yeah.01:46:34Yes.01:46:35You have a few days.01:46:37You, from what you can gather, the way in which you recruited, uh,01:46:43Mm-hmm.01:46:44Pulling someone out of the Order of the Lantern to be a Dragoon is not uncommon.01:46:49Most Dragoons are picked…01:46:51picked for it rather than signed up for it.01:46:54What is uncommon is for someone who’s not even a light warden yet to be pulled.01:46:58And apparently that’s left to some…01:47:01Uh,01:47:02additional complications, but they seem to be getting through that.
Temerity
01:47:05- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:47:08Peace.
Temerity
01:47:08Ready.
Dungeon Master
01:47:09Uh, it, yeah, but it basically says that you should start your training in the next couple01:47:14days and until then they don’t really have anything for you.
Temerity
01:47:18- Okay.01:47:20in the case01:47:22For as much time as Temerity has to kill, Temerity will…01:47:28maybe01:47:29If there’s a library, check out the library.01:47:32See you.01:47:33they can find any books on purification.
Dungeon Master
01:47:37Like a library in the barracks?
Temerity
01:47:39No, in the city.
Dungeon Master
01:47:41There are
Temerity
01:47:41If they have the time, you know.
Dungeon Master
01:47:45There are several libraries.01:47:47in the city.01:47:49um,01:47:51the main one would be the silver archives.01:47:56which is, like, in the heart of the city,01:47:58like, right by the Chapel of the Silver Flame, essentially.
Temerity
01:48:03Well…
Dungeon Master
01:48:04There are other libraries, but they tend to be more like specific or like privately owned.
Temerity
01:48:11Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:48:12out.01:48:13So,01:48:15- Yeah.01:48:15if you wanted to, like…01:48:19If you wanted to head to the library,01:48:22It’d take you a little while to get there.01:48:24you’re not familiar with the library at all either.01:48:28Like, you just vaguely know that, like…
Temerity
01:48:29Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:48:31The Silver Archives is in the middle of the city.
Temerity
01:48:34uh,01:48:36- Yeah, in that case, I guess not.01:48:38Temerity, we’ll just kind of like,01:48:40kind of…01:48:41Wander.01:48:42a bit through the city as they make their way in the general direction of the sterling.
Dungeon Master
01:48:48Yeah.01:48:49You start like moseying that way, not in any particular rush.01:48:54Just kind of wandering around.01:49:02Um,01:49:04Rhys and Hazel.01:49:08you’re heading to,
Rhysaene
01:49:08Yes.
Dungeon Master
01:49:09Rhys’s apartment.
Rhysaene
01:49:12Yeah, just to check in.
Dungeon Master
01:49:14Um,01:49:16You start heading that way.01:49:19risks.01:49:21And you live in like01:49:23Did we decide where you live?01:49:24Did you live in the heart of the city in the Lantern Ward?01:49:27Or did you have an apartment that’s like…01:49:30out in the Hearth Wall.
Rhysaene
01:49:32Um…01:49:33I think we said Hearth Wall? Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:49:35Okay.01:49:37Okay.01:49:38um,01:49:40I mean, we haven’t really picked where it is yet.
Rhysaene
01:49:43Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:49:43All right.01:49:44But you and Hazel have no problem getting there.01:49:47um,01:49:48head to your apartment and01:49:51Luma’s apartment isn’t bad.01:49:52Like Luma’s is a decent apartment.01:49:55It’s, it’s, um,01:49:57It’s not run down or anything. It’s not particularly big or fancy.01:50:01Yours is a little bit nicer than Luma’s, but not by much.01:50:05If you wanted, like, luxury, you would have to be living in the…01:50:10inside the lantern wards, but it’s still a nice apartment, good size,01:50:15a little bigger than most apartments to accommodate for like,01:50:19horse.
Rhysaene
01:50:20horse body.
Dungeon Master
01:50:21horsebody.01:50:22um,01:50:23And you’re able to head to your apartment, check, and see if you have any, like…01:50:28any mail or if anyone’s been by or anything like that. It doesn’t seem like01:50:33Um,01:50:35does not seem like as of right now,
Rhysaene
01:50:37Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:50:37there’s anything like that.
Rhysaene
01:50:39Oh, good. Okay.
Hazel
01:50:40Your above is impressive.
Rhysaene
01:50:43Thank you.01:50:46I try to make something…01:50:47Nice.
Hazel
01:50:51It’s good.01:50:53good to take care of one’s01:50:58Mm-hmm.01:50:59This one’s dead.01:51:01Look at…
Rhysaene
01:51:02Well, I guess you could call it a damn, yeah.01:51:09Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:51:10I’m sorry.01:51:11Yes.01:51:14um,01:51:15Is there anything else you guys wanted to do there or you want to head somewhere else or what?
Rhysaene
01:51:21No, I literally just like checking to see if there’s anything there, like if it’s like tidy or anything.01:51:29I think Rhys dumps some extra…01:51:33Uh,01:51:35covers out on the01:51:37Unlike you…01:51:39some furniture for later for Iva.01:51:42Um,01:51:44But other than that, yeah, nothing much.
Dungeon Master
01:51:46- Oh.
Hazel
01:51:53Do you have a bath?
Rhysaene
01:51:55Yes, I do.01:51:58You won’t get in it.
Hazel

Hazel
01:52:22- -
Rhysaene
01:52:23Do you want me to do some of your makeup?
Hazel
01:52:28Um,
Temerity
01:52:28- Oh.
Iva
01:52:30- Yeah.
Hazel
01:52:31She…01:52:31kind of, uh, uh,01:52:34I don’t know.01:52:35She like,01:52:39She says, well, I do my01:52:43I do my own makeup, I think it’s rather fetching.01:52:49She has like…
Dungeon Master
01:52:49- Yeah.
Hazel
01:52:51Her makeup, quote unquote, is literally just like,01:52:55the01:52:55the, the,01:52:56the like circles around her eyes are like pitch black.01:52:59And it looks really like01:53:02Like it looks bad, but.01:53:03You know?
Rhysaene
01:53:04Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:53:06But I suppose you know more about this stuff than I do.
Rhysaene
01:53:07Well…01:53:07Love you.01:53:09Yeah, let me try.01:53:11Let me get my hands on you.
Temerity
01:53:15laughter
Iva
01:53:15Let me get my hands on you.
Dungeon Master
01:53:19- Yeah.
Hazel
01:53:22I’m beginning to grow anxious.
Temerity
01:53:25Hehehehe.
Hazel
01:53:27Yeah, she’s gonna, she’s gonna01:53:28She’ll wash up and make herself look presentable.
Rhysaene
01:53:33Yes.01:53:33Uh,01:53:34As you get in the box and everything, you hear just like a…
Hazel
01:53:38Oh, God.
Temerity
01:53:39Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:53:43My goodness.01:53:45Um, yeah, you all do that. Um,01:53:48Rhys has a very nice bathtub, I feel like.01:53:51It’s like a really big bathtub.
Rhysaene
01:53:53always.
Dungeon Master
01:53:53I guess it would have to be.
Rhysaene
01:53:53Thanks.01:53:55Yeah, oh, it’s
Dungeon Master
01:53:55But like,
Rhysaene
01:53:56He’s a good buff.
Dungeon Master
01:53:57It’s not just big in the sense that it is big enough for a horse.01:54:03It is big for Rhys, so it is almost like one of those hot tub-bathtub kind of setups.
Rhysaene
01:54:09Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:54:10This is the most luxurious thing Hazel has ever seen in her entire life.
Dungeon Master
01:54:15Yeah.01:54:17um,01:54:18That brings us to Luma.
Rhysaene
01:54:20I’ll be right back.
Luma
01:54:23Aw.
Dungeon Master
01:54:24Hello, you made your way into the Lantern Wards,01:54:27crossing one of the four bridges that they cross the canal moat,01:54:32into the heart of the city.01:54:35Um,01:54:36And as you cross the bridge, as is routine, they ask you to show your citizenship paperwork, which you do have.01:54:43And01:54:45is no problem. They let you in.01:54:48This time of day, it’s people coming and going looking to get home after a day of work.
Luma
01:54:53Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:54:53But you make it back to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Mapping.01:54:57It’s in a little cluster of buildings near the…01:55:04near the cathedral01:55:06Um,01:55:07which is just an informal group of archival-type buildings.01:55:10It is right by the…01:55:13Silver Archives Library, for instance.
Luma
01:55:17Oh.
Dungeon Master
01:55:18um,
Luma
01:55:18Nice. That’s convenient.
Dungeon Master
01:55:20Yeah, true.
Luma
01:55:21you
Dungeon Master
01:55:21And as you head into work, you get there just as Kessa Tumblebrim is gathering her things to leave for the day.01:55:30She’s a completely scatterbrained kind of person, trying to find all her little notebooks and her personal effects and get them together so she can head home.
Luma
01:55:42Yeah. Luma will stop by her desk first just to see if they’ve piled on a bunch of shit.
Dungeon Master
01:55:49Stopped by her own desk.
Luma
01:55:51Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:55:52Um, it does not seem like anything has piled up while you have, while you, uh,01:55:59while you were gone.
Luma
01:56:02Ah, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:56:03Um,
Luma
01:56:04I’ll look up.01:56:04A little sad at that, but…01:56:06understandable.01:56:08These people actually respect work-life balance, I think.
Dungeon Master
01:56:10- Yeah.
Temerity
01:56:11Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:56:11Kessa does at the very least.
Luma
01:56:11Thank you.
Temerity
01:56:12Thank you.
Luma
01:56:13Yeah, then she’ll…01:56:15walk over to Kessa’s office and kind of like knock on the frame.
Dungeon Master
01:56:20Yes, come in. Oh!
Luma
01:56:20I’m back.
Dungeon Master
01:56:21Luma, welcome back. Come in. I was just getting ready to leave for the day.01:56:26um01:56:28It’s a little late in the day to work, but I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Luma
01:56:33Yeah, I just got back into town, so…
Dungeon Master
01:56:34Wait!01:56:37No, I don’t look forward to seeing you tomorrow.01:56:40She goes to her desk and she starts rifling through things. She looks up at the O’s like, not that I don’t look forward to seeing you, but you have a thing. You have a, here it is. She pulls out a piece of paper. It’s like a folded piece of paper. And you can see like on the bottom is a wax seal.
Luma
01:56:40Oh.
Dungeon Master
01:57:01um,01:57:02And she looks over it and she says this and she hands it to you.01:57:06And it’s a formal work order. She says, “We got a request.01:57:13This morning came in from the vaultsmiths, a surveying request. They requested you by name.
Luma
01:57:18Oh.01:57:21Oh, dear.01:57:22This is another conscripting thing.
Dungeon Master
01:57:25Well, no, it’s not conscripting. It’s part of your job. It’s a surveyor request.
Luma
01:57:30Oh, okay.01:57:31Well, that’s good.
Dungeon Master
01:57:31Um,01:57:32It’s all there in the notes, which I will.01:57:37find
Luma
01:57:37Yeah, a little more.01:57:38cracks it open immediately.01:57:39It’s just like,01:57:39oh, work.
Temerity
01:57:41Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:57:41I kind of…
Luma
01:57:41normalcy. There’s no monsters
Dungeon Master
01:57:42I gotta…
Luma
01:57:43down in the vaults, please. It’s all01:57:46nicely lit and01:57:47Clean.01:57:48- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:57:48Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Temerity
01:57:48Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:57:52This one, this one has tags.01:57:55You got to make sure none of the tags say anything that you don’t01:57:58I’m not leaking information in the tags.
Luma
01:58:01I don’t know.
Temerity
01:58:02laughs
Dungeon Master
01:58:04Because it’s too much for me to send in a message, so I’m just going to send that file.
Luma
01:58:09Okay.01:58:10and
Dungeon Master
01:58:10uh,01:58:12She01:58:13she hands you the work order and it’s got a wax seal, um, with the, um,01:58:18the Vaultsmith01:58:21The Vaultsmith…01:58:23emblem on it of the01:58:26the anvil with the flame, the little motaflame that is the synod, the silver flame emblem floating above the anvil.01:58:36And she hands you the work order.01:58:38And she says, yeah, a request came in from a senior vaultsmith01:58:43Um,01:58:44In the, uh, in the, um,01:58:47Structural Integrity Division, they need a couple…01:58:53sections of the sealed vaults01:58:56surveyed and mapped01:58:58I guess they01:59:00they think they might want to start using them01:59:02for secondary workspace or storage or something.01:59:06Um,
Luma
01:59:10Luma is…
Dungeon Master
01:59:10And
Luma
01:59:11reading while listening, kind of nodding along, and then her eyes like steadily widen a little bit.
Dungeon Master
01:59:13Yeah.01:59:17They are sealed, so…01:59:20It could be a little dangerous.01:59:22We’ve budgeted you01:59:24Um,01:59:26On top of your usual payment, we budgeted01:59:30an additional 40 crowns for supplies.01:59:33Obviously you can requisition ink and paper01:59:35and anything that we have on hand that you need for surveying.01:59:39But if you need like rope or like,01:59:42any kind of…01:59:45She doesn’t say Dungeoneering, but she conveys the idea of Dungeoneering tools.
Luma
01:59:50Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:59:51Um,
Luma
01:59:51Okay.
Dungeon Master
01:59:53Anything like that, you’re going to have an extra 40 gold…01:59:59of budget for and then a 200 gold budget for you to hire02:00:04Um,02:00:05private security contractors, because it will02:00:09possibly be dangerous.
Luma
02:00:11Oh, perfect.
Dungeon Master
02:00:11Um,02:00:12These vaults were sealed.02:00:15500 some years ago?02:00:18And as far as I know, the vaultsmiths have not been in them since.
Luma
02:00:23Oh, this is a really good opportunity.
Dungeon Master
02:00:26um,
Temerity
02:00:26He he he.
Luma
02:00:26Uh,02:00:29And I’m in charge of hiring the people.
Dungeon Master
02:00:29Yeah.02:00:31Yes, yes, that’s up to you.02:00:34We don’t handle that sort of thing normally.02:00:39we wouldn’t really need security for a surveyor,02:00:41but the vaultsmith specifically said02:00:43there might be unusual levels of danger.02:00:47We set aside the funds.02:00:48And yes, you pick your own team.02:00:51Just make sure they know not to stray from the survey,02:00:54the scope of the survey.
Luma
02:00:56Yeah, I know just the people I want to hire.02:00:58They’re really good.
Dungeon Master
02:00:59- Right.02:01:00Oh, good. That’s excellent. I’m glad to hear you got that covered. They want you to start as soon as possible, but they didn’t give a specific timeframe.
Temerity
02:01:00- He he he he.
Iva
02:01:09I’ll never know.
Dungeon Master
02:01:10It’s too…
Luma
02:01:10Okay, I’ll start tonight.
Dungeon Master
02:01:12I mean, if you want, you’ll have to hurry over because you’ll need access to the vaults.02:01:18And in either case, you’re going to have to02:01:20to get that from someone, which does02:01:24lead to an immediate issue. They want you to survey two different segments of vaults,02:01:30and that the point of access for each is different.02:01:34Um,02:01:35The first series I believe were old, um,02:01:38old foundries or forges maybe, and you’ll need to go through the vaultsmith headquarters and through the02:01:46the Hall of Valves.02:01:48to get access to those. And that, because this is a Vault Smith work order, the work order itself is all you’ll need to get access to that.02:01:57Oh, the keys.02:01:58She goes to her desk and unlocks a drawer02:02:01and pulls out two keys,02:02:03both that classic, like, four…02:02:05four directional vault, Guild of Sparks design,02:02:10just like the key you had before.02:02:12These are the keys for the vault doors because they’re sealed.
Luma
02:02:12Aha.
Dungeon Master
02:02:15These are very important. Do not lose them. Do not give them to anyone else.02:02:19They are to be returned when you are done surveying.02:02:22They will open the vault seals.02:02:27um,02:02:28themselves.02:02:29One is…
Luma
02:02:30- Okay, so just the class sign.
Dungeon Master
02:02:32Yeah, yeah.02:02:33One is, goes through the Guild of Sparks, or not the Guild of Sparks, goes through the02:02:38Vault Smith’s headquarters, the Hall of Anvils.02:02:41It’s just north of here, north of02:02:45Northwest.
Luma
02:02:45All of it.
Dungeon Master
02:02:46and just show them the work order and they’ll set you on the right direction. The other one,02:02:52Um,02:02:54I don’t.02:02:54know anything about the vaults. Apparently there was there was nothing about it in the note I got or in the work order.02:03:01Um,02:03:02But the access point is actually in the basement of the Silver Archive.02:03:07That one,02:03:08I think you should save for second.02:03:10I’m going to have to make sure you have clearance for that.
Luma
02:03:14Oh.02:03:15Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:03:16Um,02:03:17And it’s just because so if you start,02:03:21I’ll probably have that in the next day or two at most.02:03:24But if you want to start right away, then you can probably…02:03:28You probably get the Vaultsmiths to let you in tonight, honestly.
Luma
02:03:33Probably not tonight because I think
Dungeon Master
02:03:34If you really wanted to.
Luma
02:03:36I think technically I’m still on vacation until tomorrow morning.
Dungeon Master
02:03:39That’s fine.02:03:39That does remind me.02:03:41And she goes and she…02:03:43looks back in the same drawer, pulls out a…02:03:47a bag, a little bag of coin02:03:50and sits it down, and then another heavier bag of coin and sits it down.02:03:54This is your pay.02:03:56You’re being paid up front.02:03:58as well as your budget.
Luma
02:03:58Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:04:00It’s 50 gold total.02:04:01That’s for your pay and for you to get any supplies you need.02:04:05The other is 200 crowns.02:04:07Um, in.02:04:09um,02:04:11in,02:04:12platinum in, um, in dragon in, in, in dragons. So it’s, uh,
Luma
02:04:17So 20.
Dungeon Master
02:04:1820.
Luma
02:04:18- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:04:2020 Platinum.02:04:21So I guess it isn’t a heavier bag after all.02:04:24but they’re not going to hand you a bag full of
Luma
02:04:24Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:04:26full of 200 coins so
Luma
02:04:28Uh,02:04:29That’s a lot of02:04:30That’s of course.
Dungeon Master
02:04:31And that is for you to hire security and you are responsible for making that money, making sure it covers everything you need and all that.
Luma
02:04:41I can do that.
Dungeon Master
02:04:42Okay.02:04:43I think that’s it. I think the work order explains everything else you need to know unless you have any questions.
Luma
02:04:49Uh,02:04:51I’ve got questions, but I don’t think they’re about the work order.02:04:53um but she’ll like a read over it okay hold on let me let me
Dungeon Master
02:04:54Oh.02:04:55That’s fine.
Temerity
02:04:58He he he he.
Luma
02:05:02Um,02:05:04So the first time you were explaining it, you said the…02:05:07the Hall of Valves.
Dungeon Master
02:05:09Yes.
Luma
02:05:09and then you change to the Hall of Anvils, which one
Dungeon Master
02:05:11No.02:05:13So it’s this.02:05:14Let me let me make sure, but it is.02:05:17Um,02:05:19The Hall of Anvils is the Vault Smith Guild Hall.02:05:22It is a building on the surface.
Luma
02:05:22Okay.02:05:24Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:05:24The.02:05:26They, in that building is an entrance to a section of the Underforges called the Hall of Valves.
Luma
02:05:32Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:05:32And from the Hall of Valves, you can gain access to this particular section of the vaults.
Luma
02:05:32Got it.02:05:38Okay, so we go to the Hall of Anvils, which is the big building, and inside of the Hall of Anvils, there’s the Hall of the Valves, which has an entrance into the vaults.02:05:46Got it.
Dungeon Master
02:05:47The Hall of Valves is in the vaults.02:05:50But yes, the order of operations is the same.
Luma
02:05:53Okay.02:05:54Cool.
Dungeon Master
02:05:56um,
Luma
02:05:56Yeah, she will read through it.02:06:01Oh.02:06:03Okay.02:06:04I’m going to have to do some shopping.02:06:06Uh…02:06:09She’ll seal it up and tuck it away in her bag and she’ll give a nod and she says,02:06:13I can do this. I got this.02:06:16I do have questions related to other things though, if you’re not busy.
Dungeon Master
02:06:19I can spare a couple minutes for questions for you.
Luma
02:06:24Oh, thank you.02:06:25I’m looking for a guy…02:06:29His name is…02:06:32The old stone archivist Rurik02:06:34Hulduro.
Dungeon Master
02:06:36Hulduro, the old stone.
Luma
02:06:38I think he works in the Silver Archives.
Dungeon Master
02:06:41No!02:06:42he’s a historian.02:06:44I think he…02:06:49I think they have his book.02:06:50Um,
Luma
02:06:51Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:06:51I know he works through them.02:06:53I don’t think he technically works for them.
Luma
02:06:56Oh, okay.
Dungeon Master
02:06:58I think technically he works for the Synod.02:07:01But I don’t know. I just know the book. I don’t know the guy.
Luma
02:07:07Oh, so he’s only ever…
Dungeon Master
02:07:07Um,
Luma
02:07:08Wrote one book.
Dungeon Master
02:07:10I think he’s written a couple.
Luma
02:07:12Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:07:12Um,02:07:14Yeah, I think he has a few…02:07:16Just most of them are specific02:07:20recent histories of Argentum.02:07:23I think he has one on Dell.
Luma
02:07:23I see.
Dungeon Master
02:07:26Um,02:07:28I’m sorry, I’m not, I’m,02:07:31Not really.02:07:32well versed in Argentum history or I tell you more.
Luma
02:07:36Yeah, that’s okay.
Dungeon Master
02:07:36But I know who you’re talking about.02:07:39He’s a fairly famous historian.02:07:42um,
Luma
02:07:44Yeah, he certainly has his opinions.02:07:46I was hoping to talk to him.
Dungeon Master
02:07:47Mm-hmm.02:07:50Um…02:07:53I can’t promise anything, but I could ask some02:07:58Some people I know at the Silver Archive, if they could set up a meeting for you.
Luma
02:08:04Oh.02:08:04That was more than I was hoping for, but if you’re able to do that, I would really appreciate it.
Dungeon Master
02:08:08Well, I’m able to ask.02:08:09I’m not able to promise that.
Luma
02:08:11Oh, yeah, yeah, that’s what I meant.02:08:12I just figured you might, like, I don’t know, know where he might be.
Dungeon Master
02:08:15No, that I don’t know.
Luma
02:08:15Bye.
Dungeon Master
02:08:16I don’t know where he lives.02:08:17Presumably somewhere in the…02:08:19I don’t know, lantern words, but
Luma
02:08:21Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:08:21I don’t actually know.
Luma
02:08:22Yeah.02:08:23If you could ask around, that would be really appreciated.
Dungeon Master
02:08:25- Yeah, of course, Luma.02:08:28Oh, uh…02:08:29I’ll look into that for you. I do want to be clear.02:08:34I’m not anybody important.02:08:37So I’ll ask, but I can’t promise anything.
Luma
02:08:40No, no, that’s fine.
Dungeon Master
02:08:42Okay.
Luma
02:08:42I mean…02:08:43Your league’s more important than I am, so…
Dungeon Master
02:08:45Yeah.02:08:47um,02:08:48Well, that’s very sweet of you, but I don’t know how true that is. I think they file02:08:52file, uh,02:08:54rabble rousers away in this department.
Luma
02:08:59I don’t think I’ve ever roused any rebels, so I’ll make sure I do that.
Temerity
02:09:02- No.
Dungeon Master
02:09:03Tum-tum-tum.02:09:05She laughs and smiles and says, well…02:09:08You don’t have to come in, obviously, because you have an on-location assignment.02:09:12When that’s done, come in, submit your report, all your maps, and all that like normal.
Luma
02:09:18I can do that.
Dungeon Master
02:09:19And the keys.02:09:20They were very clear about these being…02:09:23I think it’s the first time that the Bureau has ever been assigned something involving the sealed vaults, so…02:09:30very important to be on top of everything this time.
Luma
02:09:33Yep, nobody will even know that I have them.02:09:36Keep them secret.
Dungeon Master
02:09:38Keep them safe.
Hazel
02:09:39God damn it.
Luma
02:09:39Yeah.
Hazel
02:09:40I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
02:09:41Me.
Temerity
02:09:41No, no, no, no.
Dungeon Master
02:09:43um,
Luma
02:09:44Maybe I’ll use some of the money to buy a safe02:09:47and put the keys in the safe. But then I’ll have a key for the safe for the keys within the safe. That’s02:09:52a problem.02:09:53That’s too many keys.
Temerity
02:09:55Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:09:55That is a lot of.
Luma
02:09:58Maybe I could put a02:10:00I could put that key in another safe.
Dungeon Master
02:10:05I have to get home and feed my cat.
Luma
02:10:08Oh, okay.
Dungeon Master
02:10:10Um, those.
Luma
02:10:10Well, thank you for the job.
Dungeon Master
02:10:12Yeah, it was nice running into you, Luma. I’m glad you’re back.
Luma
02:10:16Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:10:17she’d get
Luma
02:10:17All right.
Dungeon Master
02:10:18gathers her things and she heads out.
Rhysaene
02:10:20Thank you.
Luma
02:10:24Man.
Dungeon Master
02:10:24um,02:10:27Yeah.
Luma
02:10:28Luma stares at this page, 500 years, this is going to be so much fun.02:10:31And she starts running off to the sterling engine.
Temerity
02:10:34laughs
Dungeon Master
02:10:35Oh.02:10:36the sterling sovereign
Luma
02:10:38Sterling Sovereign, that one.
Dungeon Master
02:10:40uh,02:10:41I think everyone is coalescing upon the sterling sovereign at this point.
Temerity
02:10:48error.
Iva
02:10:48- Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:10:49Loss.
Iva
02:10:50I’ve finished checking her stuff in last time.
Dungeon Master
02:10:54Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:11:00He’s always looking so fresh right now.
Hazel
02:11:01Hazelhead.
Luma
02:11:05Yeah.
Hazel
02:11:05- Woo hoo.
Temerity
02:11:05laughter
Iva
02:11:07I’m wanting to know it’s Hazel.
Rhysaene
02:11:09And they…
Hazel
02:11:09Oh shoot, wow, we should have gotten clothes.
Rhysaene
02:11:12Oh no, wait one second.
Temerity
02:11:17- Yeah.
Luma
02:11:18Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
02:11:19I will look in my wardrobe and I will pull out.
Temerity
02:11:19laughs
Rhysaene
02:11:23Rhys probably has a ton of outfits, I think.02:11:25Would that be okay?
Dungeon Master
02:11:27- Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:11:28Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:11:28You have.02:11:30It is up to you.02:11:32You could have kept your former friend’s clothes if you had wanted to.
Rhysaene
02:11:38Yes.
Dungeon Master
02:11:39In which case, you have a lot of very nice outfits.
Rhysaene
02:11:43Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:11:44That would fit someone who doesn’t have four legs.
Rhysaene
02:11:48Thank you.
Temerity
02:11:48crying
Hazel
02:11:48Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:11:50Yes, or like the top half.
Hazel
02:11:53he he he he
Dungeon Master
02:11:53- Yeah.
Hazel
02:11:54all right, so what are we dressing hazel?
Rhysaene
02:11:58Oh.02:11:59Well, what do you want to look like?
Hazel
02:12:02Um,
Dungeon Master
02:12:02Um,
Hazel
02:12:04It can’t, Hazel just like kind of looks left and right and says, it can’t be anything open back.02:12:09Because…
Temerity
02:12:10Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.
Rhysaene
02:12:10Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:12:12A lot of these are open back dresses02:12:15and like really fine silks
Rhysaene
02:12:16Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:12:17with silver trim and02:12:19blue and02:12:22A lot of, a lot of, a lot of, there are, there’s probably other stuff, but there are a lot of open back dresses.
Rhysaene
02:12:23Bye.02:12:29Uh-huh.
Temerity
02:12:29just like uh all right well that cuts that many options out
Rhysaene
02:12:30Oh, for sure.02:12:34Yeah, like, Rhys just, like, pulls, like, a ton out of the way, like, a rat that cuts about 75%.
Dungeon Master
02:12:34Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:12:41Um…02:12:44Okay.02:12:46I don’t have to…02:12:49I’m trying to come up with something on the spot02:12:52but like something for Hazel basically02:12:53something based on like what she knows about02:12:56Hazel like what she likes, something brown02:12:58and like really like02:13:00But like very like pretty looking or something very like02:13:03modest
Temerity
02:13:06- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:13:07Right.02:13:08Oops.02:13:09And02:13:11You can give me like a…02:13:14let’s say investigation, I will point out that the person who owned these clothes was the opposite of being like Hazel.
Rhysaene
02:13:19- Yeah.02:13:21Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Temerity
02:13:22He he he he he he he he he he he he he.
Dungeon Master
02:13:23the least modest
Rhysaene
02:13:23For sure. It’s like hobbling what she can out of it. Like,
Dungeon Master
02:13:26Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.02:13:28Give me a, let’s say investigation.
Rhysaene
02:13:31Oh, brother.
Hazel
02:13:32It can be anything. I just can’t be open back for reasons.
Luma
02:13:39Concerned.
Iva
02:13:40Guys, I honestly think you should make it open back.
Rhysaene
02:13:42That’s a natural 20.
Hazel
02:13:44Absolutely.
Dungeon Master
02:13:44Oh!
Temerity
02:13:45Ooh.
Dungeon Master
02:13:46Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:13:46I can take a picture if you want, but like it ruled it.
Dungeon Master
02:13:49No, no, no.02:13:50Um,02:13:51you comb through02:13:54your former friend’s wardrobe.02:13:57And it is an incredibly difficult task02:14:00This is a person who I…02:14:02Don’t think you ever remember wearing the color brown.02:14:05or anything like understated.02:14:08Um,02:14:09And certainly nothing modest.02:14:13Um,02:14:14but by basically taking apart different parts02:14:19of certain outfits, you’re probably able to get like a, like a rich, um,02:14:23a rich02:14:26like chocolate brown02:14:28dress trimmed in silver and a deep emerald green. It is unfortunately open back.02:14:35But you also are able to find an emerald green silk02:14:40kind of like02:14:41Jacket.02:14:43like a short,02:14:44a short jacket, but enough to cover the
Rhysaene
02:14:46Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:14:47the rest of the dress. Both of these are very dark colors, both trimmed in silver.02:14:52Um,02:14:55very, uh,02:14:57very, um,02:14:59very like fine clothing.
Rhysaene
02:15:01Oh, perfect.
Hazel
02:15:04Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
02:15:05This is going to suit you.
Hazel
02:15:10Hee hee.
Rhysaene
02:15:10And I got you a mask jacket.
Hazel
02:15:12Oh.02:15:13Ah, yes.02:15:14Thank you.02:15:15She kind of like
Rhysaene
02:15:16Thank you.
Hazel
02:15:17He looks at it.02:15:18Is it like…02:15:21Does it need any like…02:15:22Like zipping or tying, because she would be not good at that.02:15:27Like.
Dungeon Master
02:15:27No.02:15:28No, it can be worn open.
Hazel
02:15:28Okay, okay.
Dungeon Master
02:15:31It’s just like, it’s not like a coat.02:15:34It is like a silk kind of like meant to be worn over a dress kind of thing.
Hazel
02:15:39Oh, yeah, no, I mean, like, the dress doesn’t need, like, any tying in the back or anything, like, because she would need it.
Temerity
02:15:39Mm-mm.
Dungeon Master
02:15:43No, unfortunately, it is an open back dress, and it is just that you also have a jacket.
Hazel
02:15:49Okay, okay.02:15:52Yes, perfect.02:15:53Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:15:54Good.
Hazel
02:15:55She.
Temerity
02:15:56He he he.
Hazel
02:15:57takes it and02:15:58runs off into another room and changes.
Dungeon Master
02:16:01um,02:16:03you change into this outfit and you realize right away that it is too big for you. The person who wore it is
Hazel
02:16:08Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:16:11Uh,02:16:12is considerably taller than you are.02:16:16But that is a solvable problem.02:16:20Um,02:16:20if anyone can sew.
Luma
02:16:24Hee hee.
Dungeon Master
02:16:25Hey, hey.
Temerity
02:16:26- If it’s also too long, you could hitch it.
Luma
02:16:26I, I, I, I, I.
Temerity
02:16:28and pin it so it then has like kind of ruffles.
Dungeon Master
02:16:29- True.02:16:33Ah, true.
Hazel
02:16:36Hazel just bemoans the fact that she can turn herself into a literal…02:16:40like,02:16:41a literal light02:16:43like,02:16:44fucking 10 foot02:16:46tall bear, but she can’t, uh, she can’t make herself like a couple inches taller.
Rhysaene
02:16:52- Yes.
Hazel
02:16:52Okay.
Luma
02:16:52- Yeah.
Temerity
02:16:52laughter
Hazel
02:16:54So she changes into it and she kind of like…02:16:58She steps out at Rhys, and I imagine she just looks like…02:17:07Like, oh, wow, yeah.02:17:09Got into mom’s clothes, did you?02:17:10Mom’s work clothes.
Luma
02:17:11All right.
Temerity
02:17:11laughter
Dungeon Master
02:17:11I’m kidding.
Rhysaene
02:17:11Thank you.
Hazel
02:17:13Thank you.
Luma
02:17:13- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:17:13Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:17:14Thank you.02:17:15Oh.
Temerity
02:17:15- Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:17:17Okay, for now…02:17:20Who can sell?
Hazel
02:17:24Luma seems pretty handy.
Rhysaene
02:17:26Yeah, all I ask for now, I will get like a belt.02:17:35uh,02:17:36Just in case, just until we can get to her.
Hazel
02:17:40Whose clothes are these?02:17:42You don’t.02:17:43I can’t wear this.
Rhysaene
02:17:45I think they’re friends.
Hazel
02:17:49uh,02:17:52Did they have02:17:55She kind of like02:17:56like looks behind her, that they have wings.
Rhysaene
02:18:01They have what?
Hazel
02:18:03but02:18:04Everything.02:18:06Everything is opened back.02:18:07So,02:18:10How is it so…02:18:14It’s also revealing and yet it feels02:18:17difficult to move in.
Rhysaene
02:18:19I think that’s the size difference, Token.
Hazel
02:18:24Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:18:27It’s…02:18:29style.
Hazel
02:18:34Wow.02:18:35Um,02:18:36Are you going to do my makeup as well?
Rhysaene
02:18:38Yes.02:18:40I will.
Hazel
02:18:43Hopefully we should get that over with too.
Rhysaene
02:18:45Mm-hmm.
Hazel
02:18:49Apologies, I’ll keep a more open mind. I don’t mean to say get it over with.
Rhysaene
02:18:55Mm-hmm.
Hazel
02:18:56- Rude.
Rhysaene
02:18:59a layer forward like a02:19:01Hazel is definitely a predator, but…02:19:04Now,02:19:05You’re in Rhys’s house.
Luma
02:19:06Yeah.
Hazel
02:19:08It’s good.
Rhysaene
02:19:08You are in the den.
Temerity
02:19:10Hehehehe.
Rhysaene
02:19:12The lion.
Hazel
02:19:12- Yeah.02:19:16in the ginger.
Dungeon Master
02:19:16Um,02:19:19Yeah.02:19:20Do you guys want to do anything else? Do you want to head out? What are you doing?
Rhysaene
02:19:26Yeah, after getting everything done, we head out.
Dungeon Master
02:19:29You all converge upon the sterling sovereign.02:19:34It is as it was before…02:19:36a very, um,02:19:40Very large. Sorry, I’m pulling it up.02:19:44Um,02:19:47a large three-story stone building near the canal markets in the southern side of the Hearth Wall.02:19:55Uhm?02:19:56It is probably the nicest of the…02:20:00such establishments outside of the heart of the city.02:20:09And you all meet up outside.
Hazel
02:20:09It’s…
Temerity
02:20:13All right.02:20:15laughs
Hazel
02:20:15Hello, everybody.
Iva
02:20:15I’ve a,02:20:16I’m a,02:20:17Upon seeing Hazel goes, Rhys, who’s that with you?
Temerity
02:20:22Thank you.
Iva
02:20:23I didn’t know you knew other pretty women.
Temerity
02:20:24Uh,02:20:30laughs
Hazel
02:20:30He’s all squints.
Temerity
02:20:32- Yeah.02:20:32laughs
Dungeon Master
02:20:33Is Hazel still wearing her…
Iva
02:20:33It was wild.
Dungeon Master
02:20:36Is Hazel still wearing her antlers?
Hazel
02:20:39Um,02:20:40probably would have02:20:42would have02:20:42would have
Rhysaene
02:20:43It’s
Hazel
02:20:44would have said no.
Rhysaene
02:20:45- Yes.
Hazel
02:20:46uh02:20:47So,02:20:49by her02:20:50uh,02:20:52By Rhys’s advice, no.02:20:55So this does look kind of like a complete stranger.
Dungeon Master
02:20:58-
Rhysaene
02:20:58- Yeah.
Temerity
02:20:59laughs
Dungeon Master
02:21:00I feel like without the antlers and with the makeup being different, Hazel is virtually unrecognizable.
Temerity
02:21:07Uh, it does take Temerity a second to catch on.02:21:09It’s like, whoa.
Dungeon Master
02:21:10Because hate.02:21:11Hazel’s makeup job is very distinctive, and changing that would probably change how her whole face reads.
Temerity
02:21:18- What’s up?
Rhysaene
02:21:19- Pickles.
Hazel
02:21:23Right.02:21:27My face feels…02:21:30restricted.
Temerity
02:21:33laughs
Hazel
02:21:36- Yeah.
Temerity
02:21:36What?02:21:44Temerity’s just like02:21:47uh,02:21:49- Yeah.02:21:51I was just staring at Hazel for a while, like, slightly head tilted, just…02:21:56Oh.
Hazel
02:21:58Is there something wrong to Temerity?
Temerity
02:22:02You look a lot different.02:22:06You look good. You look good.
Hazel
02:22:06Oh.02:22:10Thank you.02:22:11Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:22:11Rhys is extremely proud.
Hazel
02:22:14Tee!
Temerity

02:37:31Yeah.02:37:32And the, the02:37:34The vault of, or the…02:37:37Fuck, what was it called?02:37:39uh,
Dungeon Master
02:37:39the,02:37:42The Hall of Valves, the Hall of Anvils.
Luma
02:37:43Smaller vandals.02:37:44Hall of Animals. I don’t know why I couldn’t fucking remember Hall.02:37:47Yeah, the Hall of Anvils, that’s in the center of the city, right?
Dungeon Master
02:37:51Yes.
Luma
02:37:53So how do we get02:37:55them to across the bridges.
Dungeon Master
02:37:58Um,
Hazel
02:38:04bit preposterous of
Dungeon Master
02:38:04- That’s a good question.
Hazel
02:38:07I think it’s obvious that I was
Luma
02:38:07I’m going to have to…
Hazel
02:38:10that I was born in the veil.02:38:12Well,02:38:13I assume.
Luma
02:38:13Yeah.02:38:14You gotta have a piece of paper that says that
Hazel
02:38:19laughs02:38:20That’s it.
Luma
02:38:21are very particular about their papers.02:38:24Okay.02:38:25for the center of the city.02:38:28I didn’t think that far ahead.
Hazel
02:38:29ridiculous.
Luma
02:38:30Um,02:38:33I think I gotta go commit a crime.
Temerity
02:38:35Yeah.
Hazel
02:38:37Oh.
Iva
02:38:38I would have said we could fake papers.
Luma
02:38:41Yeah, that’s the crime.
Temerity
02:38:46That’s a crime?
Hazel
02:38:49Mm.
Temerity
02:38:50God.
Luma
02:38:50Well,
Iva
02:38:51Here we go. Or we can use my old paper.
Temerity
02:38:53Thank you.
Iva
02:38:54That might be a decision because, you know…
Luma
02:38:54Um,02:38:58Hazel, you could turn into a bear. Is that all you can do?
Hazel
02:39:02Ha ha ha.02:39:04All I can do…
Rhysaene
02:39:04- No.
Hazel
02:39:05Um,
Luma
02:39:06Well, I meant like in the animal department. I’m not sure. You turned into a bear. That’s kind of weird, but…
Hazel
02:39:09Oh.02:39:12Oh.
Luma
02:39:12opportunistic.
Hazel
02:39:14No, I can.02:39:15turn into02:39:17I can turn into just about any animal you could think of.
Luma
02:39:21Okay.02:39:22So,02:39:22Because, I mean…02:39:24Dogs don’t need papers.
Hazel
02:39:26Yeah.
Luma
02:39:29and02:39:29I get stuff.02:39:30I could stuff I have in my bag.
Iva
02:39:35Aren’t they a little big to be in a bag?
Temerity
02:39:35- Yeah.
Luma
02:39:38- Nope, it’s a big bag.02:39:39I wrote a lot of02:39:40bigger inside.02:39:42A lot of bigger…
Iva
02:39:44Oh, you mean like the bag we had my lantern in?
Temerity
02:39:44Thank you.
Luma
02:39:48Yeah, the bigger bag.02:39:51bag of bigger
Temerity
02:39:53The bag bigger.
Luma
02:39:54Yeah.
Hazel
02:39:54Is anyone here afraid of spiders?
Luma
02:39:58Now.
Temerity
02:39:58uh,02:39:59No.
Hazel
02:40:01OK, I can turn into a spider and just hit your eye to moonbeam.
Luma
02:40:05Yeah, that could work.
Temerity
02:40:07laughs Some papers please.02:40:10Whoa! That spider! laughs Squash! laughs
Luma
02:40:12Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:40:12Thank you.02:40:14Thank you.
Hazel
02:40:14Does that spider have any papers?
Temerity
02:40:14I’ll see you next time.02:40:15I’m sorry.02:40:17laughter
Dungeon Master
02:40:19What’s…02:40:19What’s funny about that is…02:40:22In 2014, if that happened, you would immediately turn back into Hazel.02:40:26What’s more horrifying is in 2014,02:40:2924 you don’t have to which means a spider could take like repeated beatings and still be fine
Temerity
02:40:35laughs
Hazel
02:40:36uh,02:40:36They could squash that spider and the spider would just look up at them like, “Bitch.”
Temerity
02:40:41Bitch.
Dungeon Master
02:40:41Uh huh.
Luma
02:40:43Later.02:40:45Okay, so maybe I don’t have to commit as big of a crime as I thought I would.02:40:48We really should…
Hazel
02:40:49Well, smuggling is still a crime.
Luma
02:40:51That’s, yeah, it’s,02:40:53as big of a crime
Hazel
02:40:55Oh, OK.02:40:56I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know your,02:40:58You’re sitting below.
Luma
02:41:00Yeah…
Iva
02:41:02Pat, what’s the set to take on smuggling versus forgery?
Temerity
02:41:06laughs
Dungeon Master
02:41:08Depends on what in both cases.
Hazel
02:41:11’cause we’re literally trafficking people right now.
Dungeon Master
02:41:14You’re doing human trafficking.
Iva
02:41:14Yeah.
Luma
02:41:14And…
Dungeon Master
02:41:15That’s pretty bad, I think.
Temerity
02:41:16Yeah, but you wouldn’t also then have the forgery charge.
Luma
02:41:17Yeah.
Hazel
02:41:20But no, no, it’s not human trafficking.
Luma
02:41:21uh,02:41:22How, like…
Hazel
02:41:23I’m a spider.02:41:24Okay.
Luma
02:41:24How hard would it be to make a fake…02:41:28uh,02:41:29birth certificate for02:41:31them.
Dungeon Master
02:41:32For this, it would not be that hard.02:41:36Like, fucking it up would be bad,02:41:38but they essentially just look at it and say, “Go ahead.”02:41:41You can make a fake birth certificate and it gets you across a bridge.02:41:46That’s…02:41:47not terribly difficult. The difficulty comes in forging the, like,02:41:52other papers that are on file about you and getting those on file.02:41:58But that usually like almost,02:42:00there’s like almost no circumstances where that would come up just from trying to cross a bridge.02:42:05Um,02:42:07forging the document,02:42:08Um, you’d need it to look official, um, and then have an official, um, seal of the, um,02:42:15whatever the census office is called, I forgot, off the top of my head.
Luma
02:42:20- Luma has one of those already.
Dungeon Master
02:42:21You have…02:42:22You have plenty of examples to look at.02:42:25Everybody, Temerity, Rhys, and Luma all have them.02:42:29And Iva has one.02:42:31So you don’t even have to, if you’re only forging one document, you don’t even have to forge a seal.02:42:37You just have to carefully remove it from Iva’s existing documentation and put it on the forge documentation.02:42:43And then you have like an actual seal.02:42:47Um,
Luma
02:42:51So I guess that’s the question is, Iva and Hazel, would you rather be smuggled in or would you rather have fake birth certificates?02:43:00Yeah.
Hazel
02:43:01Hazel’s comfortable with not having, with not, with, with, with, with,
Temerity
02:43:01- He he he.
Hazel
02:43:06with not being on any documentation.02:43:09uh,02:43:12So I think she’ll probably just wild shape across, I think.
Luma
02:43:17So I guess it would probably be a good idea to make a fake one for Iva.02:43:22Um…02:43:23because we can lift the seal off of your old one02:43:28Um,02:43:29and02:43:31if you get caught with your fake birth certificate,02:43:34you just burn another half identity. Yeah. Which sucks. But like,
Dungeon Master
02:43:35burn that identity.
Luma
02:43:39It’s not…02:43:40catastrophic.02:43:42It would be a really big problem if Hazel got caught.
Iva
02:43:46-
Luma
02:43:47So, yeah, okay.02:43:49Luma will think about it.02:43:51She does not look very comfortable thinking about this, but…02:43:56eventually she’ll…02:43:59come to a conclusion. I think I could probably repurpose your old purse certificate.
Iva
02:44:07Okay.
Luma
02:44:08if you still have it.
Dungeon Master
02:44:10Um…02:44:11For what it’s worth, Iva,02:44:13you know for a fact your old birth certificate is also forged.02:44:18It is just.
Iva
02:44:18I was about to say…
Dungeon Master
02:44:20It is just…
Luma
02:44:21Bye.
Dungeon Master
02:44:21Forged by like the best forger in the Tarnar Syndicate.
Iva
02:44:27- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:44:27Like, I feel like he does that and nothing else.
Luma
02:44:31Oh.
Iva
02:44:31I took a…
Luma
02:44:35Do you have that? Do you have it on you?
Iva
02:44:36I have a, I have a,02:44:38I would assume so.
Luma
02:44:38Sorry.
Dungeon Master
02:44:40- Probably.
Luma
02:44:42Yeah, let me see it.
Iva
02:44:43Bye.02:44:44Iva pulls out and goes, yeah, I think mine’s fake anyway.
Luma
02:44:49I rolled a natural 20.02:44:50Yips!
Rhysaene
02:44:52I don’t know.
Temerity
02:44:52Yeah.
Luma
02:44:52Luma,02:44:53Oliva grabs the birth certificate, and with a flourish, she waves her…02:44:58her witch’s hat02:45:00and uses Prestidigitation to erase the ink of Iva’s old name.
Dungeon Master
02:45:04Mmm.
Luma
02:45:05leaving everything else there.
Dungeon Master
02:45:07Perfect.
Luma
02:45:08And then she will use her magical tattoo to rewrite in the name using the same lettering as02:45:16the rest of the document.
Dungeon Master
02:45:18With your natural 20, you match it as well as you could hope.02:45:23This already really high quality forgery is no less high quality than it was before.
Luma
02:45:29OK.02:45:31Because I care, it probably doesn’t matter.02:45:33say it anyway, the natural 20 was for being able to cast the spell.
Dungeon Master
02:45:37Oh, right.
Luma
02:45:38Um…02:45:40What is the mod for forging? Is it Dexterity?
Dungeon Master
02:45:43Dexterity, because it’s precision hand.
Luma
02:45:46Okay, so…02:45:49I rolled a 19 on the forgery.
Dungeon Master
02:45:52Total?
Luma
02:45:53total.
Dungeon Master
02:45:53Okay.02:45:55Yeah.02:45:56You, by using prestidigitation to remove the ink, by having…02:46:02this already like really high quality professional forgery,02:46:05your change doesn’t make it any less believable.
Luma
02:46:10There we go.02:46:11And it’s only a little bit of a crime.02:46:13’cause I didn’t make the whole forgery.
Hazel
02:46:15Mm-hmm.
Temerity
02:46:15Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:46:16Thank you.
Luma
02:46:18Luma is very much trying to justify this to herself, and she’s having a hard time.
Iva
02:46:18Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:46:20This does…02:46:23This does bring us to a tipping point, Bruce, what name goes on this document?
Luma
02:46:23Right.
Iva
02:46:29Uh,02:46:29That’s…02:46:30that I’ve a panic because I don’t have a name for02:46:34We.02:46:37I didn’t think about it yet.
Dungeon Master
02:46:37Well…
Iva
02:46:38Toy behind us!
Hazel
02:46:40Smith.
Luma
02:46:40Oh.02:46:42David Smith.
Temerity
02:46:42Ha ha ha.
Luma
02:46:43Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:46:43Thank you.02:46:46Oh.
Iva
02:46:46It’s
Luma
02:46:46I must be.
Rhysaene
02:46:48I mean, you could use
Iva
02:46:48Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:46:49- Hannah.
Luma
02:46:53- Well, Iva has a common enough name that like,02:46:55You should probably keep that part.
Hazel
02:47:00I have a headache.
Luma
02:47:01Absolutely.
Rhysaene
02:47:03Mm-hmm.
Luma
02:47:03Bye bye.
Dungeon Master
02:47:03I have a headache.
Luma
02:47:05It’s just the surname.
Temerity
02:47:05I bet.
Iva
02:47:11I think it was…02:47:15I have a panic. It says the name of the guy she wrote down originally that got her into this mess.
Hazel
02:47:19No, no, no.
Iva
02:47:21Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:47:21Yeah, dude, no, that would…
Hazel
02:47:21you like
Luma
02:47:22What is…
Dungeon Master
02:47:24That would be insane.
Luma
02:47:24What is it?02:47:26- What is the most common surname in this city?
Dungeon Master
02:47:29- Oh God.02:47:32like,
Temerity
02:47:33with.
Dungeon Master
02:47:33like in
Hazel
02:47:33I mean, it was a dwarf city.02:47:34It’s got to be Smith.
Dungeon Master
02:47:36Or technically true.02:47:38Because technically true…02:47:40All the most common surnames are like most common because they’re families.02:47:44I’ve got a bunch of NPCs for.02:47:45So the answer is Drace.
Luma
02:47:46Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:47:47or Valerius, both of which are a bad idea
Luma
02:47:48Ha ha.02:47:50Ah, yes.
Dungeon Master
02:47:51for different reasons.
Luma
02:47:52Luma writes Iva Kemble.
Temerity
02:47:55Yeah.
Hazel
02:47:55- Carpet.
Luma
02:47:56Thank you.
Hazel
02:47:56I have a carpenter.
Luma
02:47:57No.
Dungeon Master
02:47:57All right, Kemble.
Iva
02:47:59But…
Dungeon Master
02:48:00Um,02:48:01It is also possible to just not have a surname.02:48:03You could just write Iva.02:48:05The issue you run into there is, like, the spacing looks weird, but…02:48:11Um,
Luma
02:48:11Yeah, D’Aquino is a pretty long…
Dungeon Master
02:48:14Yeah.
Luma
02:48:14Name.
Dungeon Master
02:48:15Um,
Luma
02:48:16So…
Hazel
02:48:16carpenter. It’s02:48:17along the way.
Luma
02:48:18I was going to say, yeah, like Carpenter or Fletcher or…
Temerity
02:48:21Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:48:22You are also not stuck with this, Bruce.02:48:25You could just reforge it.
Hazel
02:48:27Yeah. Also like,
Iva
02:48:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Luma
02:48:27True.
Temerity
02:48:27Yeah.
Hazel
02:48:29This is an identity that02:48:31If that, that we already were like, yeah, and if you get caught, you can just burn it.02:48:36It’s like the last name probably doesn’t matter all that much.
Luma
02:48:39This campaign is going to be how many times
Iva
02:48:39Yeah.
Luma
02:48:40can we force Bruce to make a new02:48:42face claim? Or…
Hazel
02:48:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Temerity
02:48:45Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:48:45I said to…
Luma
02:48:46Thank you.
Iva
02:48:48Iva goes…02:48:49Go with Fletcher. That sounds like a pretty name.
Luma
02:48:53Okay.02:48:55I’ll have to…02:48:56Spaces just a little bit weirdly, but.
Temerity
02:48:57mid.
Dungeon Master
02:49:00That’s,
Temerity
02:49:01.
Dungeon Master
02:49:01So…02:49:02You…02:49:04You’ve.02:49:05Do you stolen the name?02:49:08of the dead farmer.02:49:12the last name of the dead farmer and02:49:15to Dead Farmer’s wife, who you, like…
Luma
02:49:18What’s his name? Doug Fletcher? Whoops.
Dungeon Master
02:49:19Yes, sir.
Temerity
02:49:20Yeah.02:49:21laughter
Luma
02:49:22No, we’re not using that then. Let’s use Carpenter. Yeah.
Iva
02:49:23I can’t read that one.
Temerity
02:49:24- To Carpenter.02:49:26Yeah, Carpenter.
Iva
02:49:26Thank you very much.
Luma
02:49:30That’s hilarious. Hey, it’s a common name.
Hazel
02:49:30- Bye.
Dungeon Master
02:49:31- Yeah.
Temerity
02:49:32Yeah.02:49:32-
Dungeon Master
02:49:34It’s a common name.
Luma
02:49:34I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
02:49:35Doesn’t have to be any relation.
Luma
02:49:37Yeah, no, no, no. Well, Carpenter’s fine.
Dungeon Master
02:49:40- Okay.
Luma
02:49:41It actually is better because it fits the D’Aquino space a little bit easier.
Temerity
02:49:41I have a carpenter.
Dungeon Master
02:49:43Yeah.02:49:44You write down Iva Carpenter in the space, and it fits, and it looks good, and now Iva has documentation…
Luma
02:49:55Yeah, you can you can.
Dungeon Master
02:49:55once more.
Iva
02:49:56I’ve never had documentation, dude.
Luma
02:49:56You can write in my hat if you want, Hazel. It’s got a lot of space. It’s really big up there.
Hazel
02:50:01Hee hee hee.02:50:02That sounds like a lot of fun. Thank you.02:50:04Now.
Luma
02:50:05it.
Hazel
02:50:05We are done with business. We deserve pleasure.
Temerity
02:50:09He, he, he, he.
Hazel
02:50:09I’m hungry.
Luma
02:50:11I’m hungry.
Dungeon Master
02:50:12Um,
Rhysaene
02:50:12Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:50:13It’s not long before…02:50:16before Ketzel, the tiefling woman, comes back.02:50:20and takes your orders and drink and dinner orders and all of that.
Luma
02:50:27Wine.
Dungeon Master
02:50:29Wine.
Temerity
02:50:30laughs
Luma
02:50:32Yay.
Hazel
02:50:33I want soup and
Temerity
02:50:33Oh, yeah.
Hazel
02:50:35and02:50:37Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:50:38Hmm.
Hazel
02:50:47Whichever will inebriate me the fast. Yes, thank you.
Luma
02:50:51Yeah.
Temerity
02:50:51Hehehehe.
Iva
02:50:51would also like one of those.
Dungeon Master
02:50:58Um,
Temerity
02:50:58Um,02:51:00A plate of meat is good.
Dungeon Master
02:51:00Whatever will…02:51:02Huh?
Temerity
02:51:02Sorry. No, you go, go, go, go. You’re describing something for them.
Luma
02:51:05- I got this.02:51:06This new drink is called the 4 Hydra.
Dungeon Master
02:51:06Whatever…02:51:08What happened?
Temerity
02:51:11Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:51:11Whatever inebriates you the fastest would probably be more that like incredibly expensive dwarven whiskey.
Luma
02:51:12Thank you.
Hazel
02:51:17Okay, maybe a little bit cheaper.02:51:19I get it.
Iva
02:51:20Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:51:20They have cheaper whiskeys.
Iva
02:51:21This
Hazel
02:51:22Yeah, cheap booze.
Dungeon Master
02:51:22Um,02:51:23Keeper dwarven whiskeys, but…
Iva
02:51:23Good morning.
Hazel
02:51:28It’s not like,02:51:29Hazel is any like02:51:32Stepson, she’s got a pickup from soccer practice.02:51:35Give me the whiskey.
Dungeon Master
02:51:35Yeah.
Temerity

Rhysaene

Dungeon Master
02:51:59And Kessel heads back to put those orders in for you.
Rhysaene

Dungeon Master
02:52:08Mm-hmm.
Iva

Dungeon Master
02:52:15No.

Temerity
02:52:41Hell yeah.
Hazel
02:52:44- Thank you.02:52:45uh,02:52:47Well,02:52:50I guess.02:52:52I suppose,02:52:54I don’t actually,02:52:56know what02:52:56talk about besides business.
Dungeon Master
02:52:59Thank you.
Temerity
02:52:59laughter02:53:01Yeah.

Rhysaene
02:53:09Thank you.02:53:12it can be02:53:14That is.02:53:15Sometimes bad, sometimes good.02:53:18Um…02:53:21It’s02:53:23to,02:53:23Wait, don’t you have a mom?
Dungeon Master
02:53:27It’s kind of fucked up of you, actually, Iva.
Temerity
02:53:29Yeah.
Iva
02:53:30Bye.
Temerity
02:53:31It wasn’t--
Iva
02:53:31I know what I would say.02:53:33- I was gonna say like parents that were like, you know, the same as you.
Dungeon Master
02:53:38I need it.
Rhysaene
02:53:40- Yeah, I know.02:53:42Collaborate.
Iva
02:53:46Well, I think it goes well.02:53:48I was adopted, Temerity was adopted, and Hazel was him.
Rhysaene
02:53:56Bye.02:54:00Well, I don’t really see it.02:54:05I don’t really see it like it was anything special.
Dungeon Master
02:54:07Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:54:08But I suppose02:54:11Um.02:54:13I suppose it would be from your perspective.02:54:16Yeah, it was pretty nice.02:54:21I guess you would have, I would have02:54:24people to relate to.02:54:27uh02:54:29I guess growing up was pretty easy.02:54:35Because I could relate to a lot of things about you.
Iva
02:54:41Was it? Was it?02:54:42Because you were able to ask questions.
Rhysaene
02:54:47Uh-huh.
Iva
02:54:48they like know the answers to things?
Rhysaene
02:54:51Sometimes yes, sometimes no.02:54:55Other times they wouldn’t answer a question.
Dungeon Master
02:54:58Thanks.
Rhysaene
02:54:58especially about what I wanted to know.
Temerity
02:55:01- Yeah.
Luma
02:55:02Can they also pull swords out of their chest?
Rhysaene
02:55:05Yeah.02:55:06No, they did not.
Luma
02:55:09Okay. She makes a note on her little notebook that says not hereditary.
Rhysaene
02:55:11- Yeah.
Temerity
02:55:13laughter
Rhysaene
02:55:13Yeah.02:55:15That is all me.02:55:17I’ll have you know.
Luma
02:55:19It’s really cool.
Rhysaene
02:55:21Thank you.02:55:24Oh.02:55:26Well,02:55:31It was handy.02:55:32I’ll tell you that.02:55:35Uh,02:55:36I don’t know what I would fucking do if I was raised by humans and I had to ask,02:55:41Hey, can you get me some horseshoes?
Luma
02:55:43Thanks.
Iva
02:55:45- I was gonna say, “Yeah, it was a bit strange.02:55:48really did her best but like every once in a while like i ask a question like02:55:53You know,02:55:54Is it weird for my face to itch when it shifts?02:55:57And she wouldn’t have the answer.
Hazel
02:56:02Um,02:56:04Well, I don’t itch when I shift.02:56:06So perhaps
Dungeon Master
02:56:07Thank you.
Iva
02:56:07I don’t even want it.
Hazel
02:56:08Perhaps it is a condition.
Rhysaene
02:56:09Yeah.
Luma
02:56:10Really?02:56:11Because you gotta like fur, that’s really surprising.02:56:16So much for…
Hazel
02:56:17Heh heh heh.
Luma
02:56:21Where does all the bear size go?
Hazel
02:56:21- Yeah.
Luma
02:56:24Are you just really dense?
Hazel
02:56:27- Mm-hmm.02:56:30No.02:56:31’cause I’ve02:56:34Iva picked me up when she regrettably hugged me.02:56:37regrettably hug.
Dungeon Master
02:56:38Yeah.
Luma
02:56:39I figured I was just ridiculously strong.
Iva
02:56:40I don’t regret hugging you.
Hazel
02:56:44That’s kind of cool.02:56:46um,02:56:48Well, where does02:56:50Where do things go when you put them in your hat?
Luma
02:56:54Oh, inside my bag. I put my hat in my bag.
Hazel
02:56:57Or we have bags.
Luma
02:56:57My bag and my hat.
Hazel
02:57:00What do you think?
Luma
02:57:00Well, it goes inside. It’s just bigger on the inside.
Hazel
02:57:01Well,02:57:03Here’s your bag.02:57:04Is your bag denser than a bag of that size would be?
Luma
02:57:08No.02:57:09It doesn’t actually change weight, which is really useful.02:57:13I think I could carry like 400 pounds of rocks in there.
Hazel
02:57:14Um,02:57:17to it.
Temerity
02:57:17laughs
Hazel
02:57:18Well, I certainly changed.
Luma
02:57:19That’s a lot of rocks.
Rhysaene
02:57:20Oh, oh, oh.
Dungeon Master
02:57:20- Thank you.
Hazel
02:57:21I certainly change weight when I shift.02:57:23But.02:57:25uh,
Luma
02:57:26Oh, maybe you’ll have a bag.
Hazel
02:57:29Yes, perhaps that’s it.02:57:34Yeah, Hazel’s at her loss. She doesn’t know.
Luma
02:57:34- Yeah.02:57:35laughs
Hazel
02:57:36Yeah.
Temerity
02:57:36- He he he he.
Rhysaene
02:57:37- Oh.
Hazel
02:57:39Uh,02:57:42What?02:57:43Thank you.02:57:45Um,02:57:51But is02:57:52much to02:57:53people do02:57:55besides02:57:56um,02:57:57work.

Rhysaene
02:58:04Thanks.
Hazel
02:58:07Yes.
Temerity
02:58:11I like to whittle.
Iva
02:58:12I used to share an apartment.02:58:14with people.
Luma
02:58:17Not a hobby.
Hazel
02:58:19Yeah, we wanted it.
Rhysaene
02:58:20giggle02:58:22Uh…02:58:27I mean…02:58:29Sometimes making hearts.02:58:32sometimes dancing02:58:34Sometimes hanging out with people.02:58:38Getting to know people, getting to see new faces.
Hazel
02:58:49see.02:58:50Yes, Temerity, I did actually know you used to wiggle your left02:58:53You left your things in Crick’s bed.
Temerity
02:58:57Hehehehe.
Rhysaene
02:58:58Mm-hmm.
Temerity
02:59:02Ah,02:59:03I see you came upon my collection.02:59:06laughs
Iva
02:59:06Okay.
Hazel
02:59:07Yes, I saw it when I slept in your bed.
Temerity
02:59:13laughs02:59:15Sorry.02:59:19Oh, good.02:59:21Impressed.02:59:22He says jokingly, knowing that they’re whittling is like really rudimentary.
Iva
02:59:23Well, you have to.
Hazel
02:59:25was…
Iva
02:59:26Thank you.
Hazel
02:59:30It was a fairly simple bed.
Iva
02:59:33Thank you.
Temerity
02:59:33Oh, I was talking about the Little League, but…
Iva
02:59:34The same picture, maybe he’s dead.
Hazel
02:59:35Oh.
Temerity
02:59:35A joke, nevertheless.
Hazel
02:59:40Would you say?
Temerity
02:59:40just a thing to pass the time.
Hazel
02:59:44What did you say, Bruce?
Iva
02:59:46I was like, you have to02:59:47Temerity’s bed? I wanted to sleep in02:59:49Temerity’s bed.
Hazel
02:59:53I guess be there when Temerity is not around.
Temerity
02:59:58You could have slept in my bed, but you didn’t ask.
Iva
02:59:59on03:00:03Well, I thought we were all sleeping outside.
Temerity
03:00:11I think.
Iva
03:00:16I just like learning about my new friends.03:00:19Like if their bed is soft.
Hazel
03:00:22Yeah.
Temerity
03:00:22Hmm.
Hazel
03:00:24Hazel shakes her head.
Rhysaene
03:00:27Okay.
Hazel
03:00:27with that stuff.
Temerity
03:00:31No, it wasn’t incredibly soft.03:00:33It was…03:00:35I mean, you’ve seen cricks.03:00:37Crick’s Bend.03:00:38laughs
Hazel
03:00:48I’m quite fond of birdwatching.
Temerity
03:00:51Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:00:54That’s pretty nice.
Temerity
03:00:58So you just…03:01:00No, what birds are around?
Hazel
03:01:03Well, I would all…03:01:04creatures around.03:01:08Bye.03:01:09Yes, I know. I know.
Temerity

Hazel
03:01:13I know of,03:01:15Oh, note.03:01:17Well,03:01:18I suppose, in my head.03:01:23Um, it’s,
Luma

Hazel
03:01:28Thank you.03:01:29The hazel frowns?03:01:31No.
Temerity
03:01:33laughs
Luma
03:01:33- Oh, okay.
Hazel
03:01:34They are03:01:36As much as I would love to, they are rather03:01:41tricky to get the form down.03:01:45The fact that my headmistress and03:01:47My sister Circe are able to learn.03:01:51a testament to their skill.03:01:54has03:01:55And.03:01:56as witches.
Luma
03:02:01CGC practice.
Hazel
03:02:03Mm-hmm.03:02:05She’ll…03:02:07She…03:02:12She’ll show.03:02:13actually smile kind of, kind of,03:02:16kind of big at that.03:02:18cough03:02:19uh,03:02:20And say, yeah.03:02:21I just got to practice.
Dungeon Master
03:02:25- Yeah.
Luma
03:02:29My hobby was drawing, but now I’m too afraid to draw.
Rhysaene
03:02:33Why?
Hazel
03:02:33Oh.
Luma
03:02:37Well,
Temerity
03:02:38I think.
Luma
03:02:38And then we’ll pull out a piece of paper and she’ll draw a chair and a chair appears out of the page.
Temerity
03:02:39Because…
Rhysaene
03:02:43Oh, okay.03:02:44It’s a new chair.
Temerity
03:02:45Hehehehe.
Luma
03:02:48Yeah, I can make chairs.03:02:50Well, I can make other things.03:02:51She’ll stuff the chair back into the page, and it just turns back into a drawing before fading away.
Rhysaene
03:02:57Oh,
Hazel
03:02:57Does it change?03:03:01that create03:03:03something or does it?03:03:05take something from somewhere else.
Luma
03:03:07I don’t know.
Hazel
03:03:10Well,
Iva
03:03:12What if it does both?
Hazel
03:03:13- Thank you.
Luma
03:03:14I’m not aware of every chair.03:03:16in the city.
Hazel
03:03:18- Yeah.03:03:19some guy just like falls on his ass out of nowhere.
Luma
03:03:21Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:03:22-
Temerity
03:03:22Uh-huh.
Luma
03:03:23Thank you.03:03:24No, actually,03:03:25I have to think about it a little bit like,03:03:27I like,03:03:28Creeping dread crosses Luma’s face as she had not considered that up until Hazel asked it.
Hazel
03:03:34Oh, fuck.
Temerity
03:03:35-
Hazel
03:03:35Oh, fuck.
Luma
03:03:35Thank you.03:03:37I thought I was just creating things, but now I don’t actually know.
Hazel
03:03:41Oh.03:03:42um,03:03:43Well,03:03:44It’s always good to know where, uh, uh,03:03:47I don’t know.03:03:49No, it’s good to know how03:03:51our magic works and she kind of like,03:03:54Looks like to the side, like, uh, my bad.
Temerity
03:03:57laughs
Luma
03:04:01I think I practice a little too hard.
Hazel
03:04:01Yeah.03:04:03Hmm.
Temerity
03:04:11Um,03:04:20- Maybe it does seem like a little uncomfortable03:04:23uncomfortable about the magic talk, but isn’t going to be interjecting anymore.
Luma
03:04:28Thank you.
Temerity
03:04:28about magic. They just kind of like03:04:32Get a little grimace.03:04:33Get a little grimace.
Hazel
03:04:35Yeah.
Temerity
03:04:37As they sip away at their
Dungeon Master
03:04:37uh,
Temerity
03:04:40their whiskey
Dungeon Master
03:04:41A tiny dragon on Temerity’s shoulder says, kill these heretics.
Luma
03:04:45Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:04:46laughs
Rhysaene
03:04:47- Thank you.
Hazel
03:04:47Ah, yes.
Temerity
03:04:48You should cause a scene. You should cause a scene right now.
Hazel
03:04:49I apologize.03:04:50Hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:04:51- Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:04:52specifically
Luma
03:04:53On Sessions, it’s where to cause a scene.
Temerity
03:04:56laughs
Hazel
03:04:56I apologize.03:04:58I apologize to Temerity if we make you if we if we are making you uncomfortable.
Temerity
03:05:04It’s…
Luma
03:05:07Oh right, sorry, you haven’t come to terms with the fact that you’re just like us.
Temerity
03:05:07you
Iva
03:05:11No, it’s okay, Temerity. It’s okay not to have hobbies.
Dungeon Master
03:05:15Yeah.
Temerity
03:05:17I just told you my hobby is
Iva
03:05:21I, you know.03:05:22I don’t have a hobby, I was hoping I had someone else to not have a hobby, and I figured that’s why you were comfortable.
Hazel
03:05:28What do you do when you’re not03:05:32What did you do when you weren’t?03:05:33doing Light Warden business.
Luma
03:05:35crimes.
Hazel
03:05:37Well,03:05:37and when you weren’t doing crimes.
Iva
03:05:41I was at the apartment I had…
Luma
03:05:42planning programs.
Iva
03:05:44sometimes sleeping and sometimes not sleeping.
Hazel
03:05:47look what are you doing when you weren’t sleeping?
Iva
03:05:52I’m panicking.03:05:55Because what if I got caught?03:05:57Like, also, like, I couldn’t get caught because I was too good at what I was doing, I thought.
Dungeon Master
03:06:00-
Luma
03:06:02I thought…
Hazel
03:06:02I
Luma
03:06:03I don’t know.
Hazel
03:06:03Well…03:06:07I suppose now that you don’t have to worry about getting caught, you can find yourself03:06:11a something to do in the pursuit of passion.
Luma
03:06:16I suppose it’s always a good thing to have more understanding of reality.
Temerity
03:06:20Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
03:06:24Um,03:06:31- Well,
Iva
03:06:31Yeah, I’ll have to find a copy, I guess.
Hazel
03:06:34Hmm.03:06:36You all got…03:06:38You know,03:06:39You all got, uh,03:06:43uncomfortably close looks at the at the at the upbringings of myself and Temerity how was how was how was03:06:51How is it?03:06:54How was your lives?03:06:57Growing up.
Iva
03:07:05uh,03:07:06Well, mine was a little scary until I got…03:07:10you know,03:07:12more control of my ability. Anthusa kept me inside most of the time because, well, you know,
Luma
03:07:24I grew up in a logging town.
Temerity
03:07:32Arundil, right?
Luma
03:07:33Yeah, Aerodale, it’s on the other fork of the river.
Temerity

Luma

Luma
03:07:50Oh yeah.
Hazel
03:07:52Thank you.
Temerity
03:07:54Mm-hmm.
Luma

Rhysaene
03:08:06Thank you.

Rhysaene
03:08:38Thank you.
Luma
03:08:40Nah.
Temerity
03:08:42My home life isn’t that messy.
Hazel
03:08:45It’s fairly uncomfortable.
Dungeon Master
03:08:47Yeah.
Luma
03:08:47Yeah, yeah.
Temerity
03:08:49Well, that.
Luma
03:08:52I’m the first to admit that I’m pretty socially awkward.
Temerity
03:08:55you
Luma
03:08:56But…
Rhysaene
03:09:03I think a long sip of my wine.
Luma
03:09:05I don’t know.
Temerity
03:09:06-
Dungeon Master
03:09:07Good.
Temerity
03:09:09I03:09:12If you’re talking about…03:09:13The thing with.03:09:16juniper it wasn’t
Hazel

Temerity
03:09:30laughing03:09:33That was…03:09:40That was just a03:09:44very long overdue conversation.03:09:47I, uh,
Luma
03:09:47Okay.03:09:49If you say so.
Rhysaene
03:09:50you might not try a little bit
Temerity
03:09:54uh,03:09:55laughs
Luma
03:09:59I have a crowbar if you need it.
Temerity
03:10:01Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:10:01Not with crowbar.
Temerity
03:10:02Yeah.03:10:04Hey!
Luma
03:10:04Uh,
Rhysaene
03:10:05They will not be needed.
Temerity
03:10:08Temerity does look a bit deer in the headlights-ish, but it’s like, if you want to ask your question, I’ll try to answer.
Luma
03:10:08OK.
Rhysaene
03:10:17- Bye.03:10:18So what story with you two?
Temerity
03:10:18Where.
Rhysaene
03:10:20You and the juniper.
Temerity
03:10:24What do you mean?
Rhysaene
03:10:25like what?03:10:29how to get close.
Temerity
03:10:29like,03:10:31Oh,03:10:33that you have.03:10:35when03:10:37uh,03:10:38when I saved her life.03:10:43because of the bandits that03:10:46uh,03:10:47that had03:10:48coming to town.03:10:50Um,03:10:53I…03:10:55died per…03:10:57I died protecting her and03:11:00Since that day, we03:11:03Nick Kemble’s kind of took me in.
Rhysaene
03:11:07Huh.
Hazel
03:11:08Yes, I believe.03:11:10I’ve,03:11:12I was under the impression that03:11:13that the reason was fairly clear after Juniper saw how03:11:17for help.03:11:19strong03:11:20Temerity was, she was03:11:22uh,03:11:24she was determined to03:11:27for your offspring.
Temerity
03:11:29laughter
Iva
03:11:32Bye, videos.
Temerity
03:11:32He like chokes on their drink.
Iva
03:11:35I don’t think that Hazel goes, there’s much more of the strength that attracts people to that.
Rhysaene
03:11:40- That is03:11:42It’s certainly a way to put it, Hazel.
Temerity
03:11:44cough03:11:47laughter
Hazel
03:11:51It’s only a match.03:11:52True.
Rhysaene
03:11:54- Yeah.03:11:55people…03:11:57people fall03:12:00For each other more.03:12:02We’re more than just making babies, Hazel.
Hazel
03:12:09Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:12:12laughs
Rhysaene
03:12:13Yeah.
Hazel
03:12:14Well, I’m not so sure about that.
Temerity
03:12:17Temerity is fully flushed. The idea of making babies didn’t really even come into their mind.
Rhysaene
03:12:17So,03:12:21I’ll see you next time.
Hazel
03:12:22Yeah, Temerity doesn’t even know where babies come from.03:12:24Like, come on.
Temerity
03:12:24Ha ha ha!
Rhysaene
03:12:26You’re welcome.
Hazel
03:12:26-03:12:30Father Ebertham said, babies come from a giant pale light that visits you on your doorstep.
Temerity
03:12:35-
Iva
03:12:36I can’t get the best part of my life.
Hazel
03:12:36- Sure.
Temerity
03:12:41-
Rhysaene
03:12:42Temerity, you must do God’s work.03:12:45and make babies.
Hazel
03:12:47Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:12:48And plow that farm crew.03:12:50No.
Hazel
03:12:50Oh my gosh.

Hazel
03:12:57laughs
Luma

Rhysaene
03:13:32Bye.
Iva
03:13:32Yeah.
Luma

Luma
03:13:40So interesting.
Hazel
03:13:40You’re welcome.03:13:42I don’t know.
Rhysaene
03:13:42Rhys is having like one glass of wine tonight.
Temerity
03:13:42Yeah.
Luma
03:13:44Thank you.
Rhysaene
03:13:44She wants to be fully awake for what she wants to do.
Luma
03:13:45Okay.
Temerity
03:13:48laughs
Rhysaene
03:13:49involved.
Temerity
03:13:51Temerity, yeah, Temerity kind of like,03:13:56So they’ve been kind of drinking a bit.03:14:00definitely more than the last couple times that we all drink together.03:14:05uh,03:14:07And it’s just like03:14:09um,03:14:13Speaking of that, though,03:14:16uh,03:14:18- Yeah.03:14:21- Yeah.03:14:24I don’t know how to ask this, but
Rhysaene
03:14:29That’s nice.
Temerity
03:14:29I,03:14:30get.03:14:31Um,03:14:33Well,03:14:35when I talked with03:14:37Juniper alone, uh,03:14:42Hold on, let me pull it up real fast.03:14:46Yeah.03:14:54I, uh,03:14:57sigh03:14:58I told Juniper.03:14:59that03:15:01um,03:15:05I wasn’t going to03:15:08uh,03:15:13I wasn’t going to pursue her.03:15:15that.
Rhysaene
03:15:19Hmm.
Temerity
03:15:20I03:15:22think it’s03:15:23specify03:15:27said I don’t want a relationship with her.03:15:31I’d,03:15:32I don’t know. Did I…03:15:36I feel like I could have put that better.
Iva
03:15:40- Of course. - Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:15:46there’s03:15:46Two questions.03:15:48There’s two things about that.03:15:51I guess questions.03:15:54One.03:15:55Did you actually feel that way?
Temerity
03:16:01Uh,03:16:03where he kind of just gives like a…03:16:07Uh…03:16:10Kind of like half, not a half-hearted shrug, more like a conflicted shrug.03:16:15Like, uh…
Hazel
03:16:16Hmm.
Rhysaene
03:16:16Hmm.03:16:19Yeah.
Temerity
03:16:20I…03:16:21I don’t.03:16:22Mm.03:16:23No.03:16:25Um,03:16:27I thought it was best if I had just03:16:31gave her a concrete answer.03:16:34And03:16:39not string her along more than it’s03:16:43most definitely been
Rhysaene
03:16:47Hmm.
Iva
03:16:51Then you definitely did it wrong, because if you’re going to lie, you should lie better.
Rhysaene
03:16:55I bet.03:16:56will not fix the situation.
Temerity
03:16:59I…03:17:02I didn’t lie.03:17:04I03:17:12I just…03:17:13I,03:17:14I don’t know, she asked me,03:17:22Um,03:17:23She asked me what I wanted.03:17:26And that’s what I told her.
Hazel
03:17:33Well,03:17:39Seems like you made the right decision then.03:17:41problem solved.
Temerity
03:17:42Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:17:43it.
Temerity
03:17:44Hehehehe.
Rhysaene
03:17:45where it’s like…03:17:48she doesn’t roll her eyes03:17:49but she like03:17:50kind of…03:17:57how does she look like she took it?
Temerity
03:18:01his face is pretty dour reaction to the question is more of an answer than the pretty bad that that
Rhysaene
03:18:07Mm-hmm.03:18:11Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:18:13they get
Rhysaene
03:18:15Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:18:18It’s natural for people to be disappointed.03:18:21and their expectations aren’t met.03:18:24But.03:18:27If you said what you said,03:18:30because you believed it, then I suppose you made the right decision.
Rhysaene
03:18:36But did you?
Temerity
03:18:38Yeah.03:18:41.03:18:42I03:18:44I.03:18:44I don’t know, like…03:18:46I03:18:49What?03:18:51Does…03:18:55What is it supposed to feel like?
Hazel
03:18:57Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:18:59It’s…
Hazel
03:18:59I’ve never felt it before.03:19:01The worst group to ask.03:19:03It’s good.
Temerity
03:19:04laughs
Hazel
03:19:04- Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:19:04Hmm.03:19:07It,03:19:13Well…
Iva
03:19:15I was always told happy.03:19:17You’re supposed to feel happy with that person.
Rhysaene
03:19:20Yeah, but it’s also like03:19:26Usually with love, there is conflict.03:19:32In one way or another.
Hazel
03:19:35why I stay out of it.
Temerity
03:19:38- Ooh.03:19:44But like.03:19:46How do you know that you’re,03:19:48In love.03:19:51Like,
Rhysaene
03:19:52Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:19:55I know that I have03:19:59I know that I have a destiny, I know that I have a job.03:20:02I know what to do there.03:20:04I know that03:20:07you know, if,03:20:09if the field needs tending, the field needs tending, if03:20:13Offence needs fixing, offense needs fixing.03:20:18But.03:20:21How do you answer a question like that?
Iva
03:20:32I don’t think you look to fix fences for answering questions like that.
Rhysaene
03:20:41I think
Temerity
03:20:42-
Rhysaene
03:20:47I mean, it depends.03:20:49Um,03:20:54Did you consider their place in it?03:20:57You laugh, I mean.
Temerity
03:21:00Oh, yeah, I don’t think that would work out.03:21:04I’m.03:21:06I mean,03:21:08I’m planning to eventually go beyond the veil.03:21:11I can’t take
Rhysaene
03:21:12Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:21:12her with me there.
Iva
03:21:16Do you not plan to come back?
Temerity
03:21:20Well,03:21:22Maybe.03:21:24But…03:21:27Who knows what03:21:28the world will look like after that point.
Rhysaene
03:21:32Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:21:35Well,03:21:36It seems that you’ve seen, it seemed,03:21:38It seems that you’re rather…03:21:42okay with the thought of being forever alone.
Temerity
03:21:45laughter
Rhysaene
03:21:47Well,
Iva
03:21:47laughter
Rhysaene
03:21:49Yes.
Temerity
03:21:50I’m sorry.03:21:50laughs
Iva
03:21:52Congratulations.
Rhysaene
03:21:54I was…03:21:55I was going to say to Temerity, don’t you have wants?
Temerity
03:22:00Um,03:22:02I mean,03:22:03and03:22:05Yeah.03:22:06you know,03:22:07I wanted this food, I wanted this drink.03:22:13Like that?
Rhysaene
03:22:16It’s kind of…03:22:20Do you want her in your life?
Hazel
03:22:23You want to mate with juniper.
Temerity
03:22:23Well,
Rhysaene
03:22:25No.
Temerity
03:22:25laughter
Hazel
03:22:28Oh, no.03:22:29anthologies.03:22:30Rest, continue.
Temerity
03:22:30Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:22:33I like the idea of like, Rhys looks like she’s about to hiss it.
Hazel
03:22:39Hehehehe.03:22:40Uh,03:22:41She’s like, oh, I don’t know, right, it’s everyone’s around.
Temerity
03:22:44Sorry.
Rhysaene
03:22:45What do you think?
Hazel
03:22:46I read the situation wrong, I’m sorry.
Temerity
03:22:49Thank you.03:22:52Well…03:22:56Well, yeah.03:22:57want her in my life, I want all of Crick spend in my life.
Hazel
03:23:02when you03:23:02It’s too many people.
Temerity
03:23:04laughs03:23:08Whoa, Hazel’s against polyamory?03:23:10No.
Iva
03:23:11I’ve never heard of everything.03:23:13snakes
Temerity
03:23:23uh,03:23:24I
Iva
03:23:29Well, then, if you’re going back, if you like Prince Ben in your life, then what?03:23:35Why say no to things that will03:23:37Thanks.
Temerity
03:23:43because I don’t,03:23:44want,03:23:46Juniper to wait and.03:23:47wait a year, two years, three years.03:23:51any more than she’s already waited.03:23:55That’s03:24:00Not right. And what if I come out the other end?03:24:02knowing that03:24:04that’s not what I want or I find03:24:07that03:24:08You know, Daveri is very flustered trying to navigate their own emotions.
Rhysaene
03:24:14I need to…03:24:17Aww.
Temerity
03:24:18Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
03:24:19I think we’re still like move our hand over to03:24:23like comfort.03:24:27Did you…03:24:28Did they…03:24:29- Yeah.03:24:32I don’t know how to say this without being rubbed so03:24:34Don’t.03:24:35Take it to heart.03:24:38Did you decide that for them?
Temerity
03:24:45laughter
Rhysaene
03:24:46how they would feel about you heading off.
Temerity
03:24:51uh,03:24:57Yeah.03:24:57Yeah.03:25:00Yeah.03:25:03That…03:25:06Ah.03:25:06That was a03:25:10and03:25:12contention in our conversation.03:25:14Um,03:25:16that I was deciding that for her.03:25:19uh,03:25:21but03:25:27it,03:25:36It doesn’t.03:25:39After seven years, it doesn’t feel right to say,03:25:42Can you please wait?03:25:44for me.03:25:45longer.
Iva
03:25:49I don’t think that’s your choice to make it.03:25:53As someone who can swap identities, I think, you know…03:25:57to let them be that.
Hazel
03:26:01- True, it sounds like you made this decision, Fortune.
Rhysaene
03:26:10And…03:26:14in trying to03:26:18be selfless. You may have been really selfish.
Temerity
03:26:23Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:26:26that,03:26:28That, I think, genuinely is the ongoing theme of Temerity’s character.
Temerity
03:26:34Uh…
Rhysaene
03:26:38Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:26:39I’m sorry.03:26:39Yeah, they’re really good.03:26:41It puts their head in their hands a little bit.03:26:43Just like, fuck me.
Rhysaene
03:26:46Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:26:48No, that’s…03:26:49Clearly what03:26:54That’s a job for someone else.
Hazel
03:26:57Mm-hmm.03:26:58Wow.
Rhysaene
03:27:07It’s up to you if you want to live with that.
Temerity
03:27:12I mean, I,03:27:14I already gave her my answer. So,
Iva
03:27:20Well, we’ll probably be bashing for X-Men eventually.
Rhysaene
03:27:21Sometimes…03:27:23Well, there’s03:27:24such a thing as admitting you were wrong and taking it back, but03:27:28I get it.03:27:29why you would think that.
Temerity
03:27:32I,03:27:35Is that not more wrong?03:27:39to just show up and be like, “Hey,03:27:43I didn’t actually mean that.
Rhysaene
03:27:43I fucked up.03:27:46Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:27:46Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:27:48That was just…03:27:50You know, I just said that.03:27:51I feel like
Dungeon Master
03:27:53I feel like I’m doing this.
Rhysaene
03:27:54So,03:27:55Well,03:27:56Same story might work, yeah.
Temerity
03:27:57That might piss her off more.
Rhysaene
03:28:00um,03:28:04Okay.03:28:04When?03:28:07When we go back to Crick’s Bend,03:28:12We can…03:28:13Try to work it out.
Temerity
03:28:15laughs03:28:17All right.03:28:18Well…03:28:20- Thank you.03:28:23Thank you. Sorry, that’s just been bugging me since03:28:26Since we left, it’s going to take another drink.
Rhysaene
03:28:29That could take a toll on you. You’ve been quiet.
Temerity
03:28:32Thank you.03:28:40Yeah.03:28:41laughter
Dungeon Master
03:28:43Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:28:44Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:28:44laughs
Dungeon Master
03:28:46Yeah.
Temerity
03:28:46Just in the most pathetic way.
Rhysaene
03:28:48This will just…03:28:50Rhys will just be like, Rhys will just like move her hand away from03:28:55from Temerity’s show and she’d be like, “Fuck me.”
Temerity
03:28:59laughs03:29:07Oh.03:29:08They’re just going to03:29:10Pound bag, another drink.
Dungeon Master
03:29:11Oh, God.
Temerity
03:29:13Boat.
Hazel
03:29:13Hoof.
Rhysaene
03:29:13Peace.03:29:15I’ll raise my glass.03:29:18Uh,03:29:19to love being a bitch.
Temerity
03:29:21laughter03:29:23Yeah.03:29:23Maybe we’ll give that a toast.
Iva
03:29:24I wouldn’t know that because I’ve never loved, but you know.
Hazel
03:29:30Anything.03:29:32Mm-hmm.03:29:34From what I understand, Grizz is correct.03:29:36And she’ll raise a glass.
Rhysaene
03:29:38- Yeah.
Hazel
03:29:38Why not?
Rhysaene
03:29:40Shh.
Temerity

Rhysaene
03:29:42Boomer.
Iva
03:29:45I’ve never raised a third class because I like this…03:29:48I like harder alcohol.
Temerity
03:29:51Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
03:29:54Luma.
Luma
03:29:57What’s up?03:29:59That one’s been writing in the corner.
Rhysaene
03:29:59I paid your place.
Hazel
03:30:01Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:30:01She just looks up.
Rhysaene
03:30:03Where are you, Clay?
Luma
03:30:05Oh.03:30:06You’re…03:30:07I shall hold up hers, which is…
Hazel
03:30:08Raise a glass to flame me down.
Luma
03:30:09Empty.
Temerity
03:30:11laughs
Rhysaene
03:30:12I think I will.
Temerity
03:30:13Thank you.
Rhysaene
03:30:14I will pull…03:30:15like a bit of my wine into the glass from my03:30:18from my wing glove.03:30:20Thank you.
Luma

Hazel
03:30:24Thank you.
Rhysaene
03:30:25So love me in the beach.
Luma
03:30:26Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:30:28I took it.03:30:32you all drink to that
Hazel
03:30:36- Wow.
Iva
03:30:38And then the waitress turns out to be a Sorrowsworn.
Hazel
03:30:38Um,
Temerity
03:30:41Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
03:30:41Hook.
Dungeon Master
03:30:42No, that doesn’t happen. That’s not real.
Temerity
03:30:45That’s not real, that’s 10 sessions later.
Dungeon Master
03:30:48Yeah.
Temerity
03:30:48Thank you.
Hazel
03:30:50Well, I should probably.
Rhysaene
03:30:50The waiters are such a game.
Hazel
03:30:53Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:30:53laughs
Dungeon Master
03:30:54We do.
Hazel
03:30:57You should probably at some point try to get back to.03:31:01Calypso.03:31:02Well,03:31:03I mean, my sister.
Dungeon Master
03:31:06Yeah.
Temerity
03:31:07Hehehehe.
Luma
03:31:12Do you have enough beds for everybody, Rose?
Rhysaene
03:31:15Um,03:31:16Yeah.
Luma
03:31:17Okay.
Rhysaene
03:31:17I should, I got covers.
Luma
03:31:20Okay.
Rhysaene
03:31:20Though your help will be appreciated.
Temerity
03:31:20Yeah, that would be…03:31:25Hmm.
Luma
03:31:25Oh, with what?03:31:26What am I helping with?
Rhysaene
03:31:28You could build furniture, can’t you?
Luma
03:31:32I’m sorry, what?
Rhysaene
03:31:33You could build furniture, can’t you?
Luma
03:31:36Oh, yeah.03:31:37I built all my furniture.
Temerity
03:31:41Thank you.
Luma
03:31:41Did you want me to make you a bet?
Rhysaene
03:31:43I would like that very much.
Luma
03:31:46Oh, okay.03:31:47Well, that’s going to…03:31:48That’s not really an overnight thing.
Rhysaene
03:31:50Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:31:51Okay.03:31:54Luma’s absolutely going to build a bed overnight.03:31:56Thank you.
Temerity
03:31:56Hehehehehehehehehehe.
Rhysaene
03:31:56Pooch.
Luma
03:31:57Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:32:00Thank you very much.
Luma
03:32:00Thank you.
Rhysaene
03:32:01And she’ll place a kiss on Luma’s head.
Luma
03:32:06She turns pink.
Temerity
03:32:08Hehehehe.
Luma
03:32:13I’m going to build so many beds.
Hazel
03:32:14laughs
Temerity
03:32:15so many beds.
Dungeon Master
03:32:15That’s awesome.
Rhysaene
03:32:15Thank you.
Temerity
03:32:18Thank you.
Rhysaene
03:32:20I like the idea that there’s like
Temerity
03:32:20Maybe still has their bed in the bunk.
Rhysaene
03:32:22I like the idea that there’s like a lipstick mark on Luma’s 4.
Luma
03:32:26Yeah.
Hazel
03:32:26Yeah.
Temerity
03:32:26laughs
Luma
03:32:27Thank you.03:32:30you
Hazel
03:32:31Jeez, how much is my bill? Oh boy.
Iva
03:32:35Oh, boy.
Dungeon Master
03:32:36True.03:32:36Um,03:32:39The room is already paid for.03:32:41Um, multiple drinks plus dinners, I feel like everyone spends about five silver, unless anyone wanted something like extra luxurious or extra cheap.
Hazel
03:32:51I think for as much03:32:53for as much,03:32:54whiskey as she drank, it’s probably up to one gold, so I’ll just chalk up one gold.
Dungeon Master
03:32:58All right. Yep. Try to go off the gold.
Rhysaene
03:33:00Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:33:01Oh, man, I also drank one gold whiskey.
Dungeon Master
03:33:06Oh, shut up.
Hazel
03:33:08- Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:33:08Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:33:10I think I’ll have
Luma
03:33:10and pay everybody
Rhysaene
03:33:11Yeah, I’ll pay the five.
Luma
03:33:11Five.
Rhysaene
03:33:14So.
Iva
03:33:17I just wanted to move forward to this.
Temerity
03:33:17Yeah, I can cover my tab.
Iva
03:33:19Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:33:20What rate?
Luma
03:33:20uh,
Dungeon Master
03:33:22Sorry.
Luma
03:33:24just03:33:25in case03:33:26Everybody make sure you add five platinum dragons to your sheet from Luma Pang, eh?
Dungeon Master
03:33:29Don’t forget your…
Rhysaene
03:33:29Yes.
Luma
03:33:31Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:33:32Your security pay.
Temerity
03:33:35- He he he.
Luma
03:33:36That makes me the boss.
Dungeon Master
03:33:38That’s true.
Iva
03:33:39So it’s basically
Luma
03:33:40Yeah.
Hazel
03:33:44Thank you.03:33:46and
Luma
03:33:47I don’t know how much longer this session is going to go on for, but I do need to do shopping and crafting potentially.03:33:56I’m fine with that being an in-between session if you want, Kat.
Dungeon Master
03:33:59We could do that in between if you want.03:34:02We usually go about another hour from here.03:34:06And I don’t need to stop yet.03:34:08I…
Luma
03:34:09- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:34:09I planned much further than we actually got, so I’m good to keep going.
Hazel
03:34:14Hmm.
Luma
03:34:14Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:34:15- Okay.
Hazel
03:34:15Rhys.
Temerity
03:34:15.
Dungeon Master
03:34:16Um,03:34:16But there’s also no rush.
Rhysaene
03:34:18Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:34:19You must walk me home.
Rhysaene
03:34:21I will.
Hazel
03:34:22Thank you.
Temerity
03:34:24He he he.
Iva
03:34:24also have to follow because
Rhysaene
03:34:27Yeah, you’re staying with me.
Iva
03:34:29I’m saying with Rhys.
Luma
03:34:35Uh…03:34:36Oh, here.03:34:37Then we’ll dig into her backpack and pull out a whole bedroll and hand it to Hazel.
Hazel
03:34:41put it.03:34:42Oh, oh no, I’m staying and I have a place to stay, luckily.03:34:47Uh, uh,03:34:49Iva is this thing.03:34:53risks.
Luma
03:34:53Oh, okay.03:34:54You go over.
Hazel
03:34:55Thank you, though.
Iva
03:34:57Rabbit would take the bedroll.
Luma
03:35:01you know, just some extra03:35:02But I think03:35:03just in case.
Rhysaene
03:35:04Thank you.
Temerity
03:35:05- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:35:06So are you all heading out from the sovereign
Temerity
03:35:10Yeah.
Hazel
03:35:10Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:35:11Yes.
Dungeon Master
03:35:11Who is heading where?
Hazel
03:35:12Hazelwood.03:35:15It’s going to piss Calypso off, not only…03:35:18coming home drunk, but also…
Luma
03:35:18Ha ha.
Hazel
03:35:21wearing someone else’s clothes.03:35:24Who are you?
Rhysaene
03:35:24Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:35:25Ha ha ha.
Temerity
03:35:25Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:35:26uh,
Dungeon Master
03:35:26-
Rhysaene
03:35:26Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:35:27The episode doesn’t recognize…
Dungeon Master
03:35:27- Yeah.03:35:29Who the fuck?
Luma
03:35:31I don’t know.
Hazel
03:35:31Um,
Luma
03:35:31Eclipsa might be happy that she’s actually blended in for once.03:35:34Yeah.
Hazel
03:35:34- Dude.
Temerity
03:35:34Yeah, true.
Luma
03:35:35Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:35:35Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:35:36- Maybe we’ll head to the bunks.
Hazel
03:35:37And I,
Dungeon Master
03:35:39The barracks…
Temerity
03:35:40Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:35:41I feel so sad for sorority just being like, I’m going to sleep in a bunk bed.
Dungeon Master
03:35:41- Mayor, he heads to the fair.
Hazel
03:35:45laughs
Temerity
03:35:47Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
03:35:51and Iva are walking Hazel home.
Rhysaene
03:35:54Yes.
Dungeon Master
03:35:58Um,03:35:59Okay, Rhys and Iva are walking Hazel home. Temerity is heading to the barracks. Luma,03:36:08You want to do your shopping on the way home?
Luma
03:36:08Yeah.03:36:10Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:36:11Okay.03:36:13um,
Luma
03:36:13uh,03:36:16Go ahead, sorry.
Dungeon Master
03:36:17I was just going to say, depending on what you were looking for, it would depend on where you go.
Luma
03:36:22Um, well, is there…03:36:25a thing for03:36:27Gas masks.
Dungeon Master
03:36:29Gas masks?
Luma
03:36:31Yeah.03:36:31Yeah.03:36:32If not, I can…
Dungeon Master
03:36:32Um,
Luma
03:36:33I can make one, but…03:36:37I just wanted to see if there was something that03:36:39They specifically point out
Dungeon Master
03:36:40Yes.03:36:41I, I, yeah.
Luma
03:36:42toxic gas.
Dungeon Master
03:36:44Yeah, I know why you’re asking.03:36:46Um,03:36:49It’s not really something you could buy.03:36:51I’m not even sure if there’s like a mechanical concept of that.
Luma
03:36:55Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:36:56Um,03:36:57But…
Luma
03:36:58uh,
Dungeon Master
03:36:59you would know that both the Guild of Sparks and the Vaultsmiths would probably have…03:37:04The Vaultsmiths would have it for, like, practical reasons, and you have to go through there anyway.03:37:10Um.03:37:11The Guild of Sparks probably designs them, but it’s not…
Luma
03:37:18In which case, Luma will look for about03:37:22Uh,03:37:24four pounds of charcoal.
Dungeon Master
03:37:26Yeah.
Luma
03:37:27and a lot of fabric.
Dungeon Master
03:37:30This time of night,
Luma
03:37:31for
Dungeon Master
03:37:34Sorry.
Luma
03:37:34No, go ahead.
Dungeon Master
03:37:36This time of night03:37:38Um,03:37:40Most shops are closed.03:37:41However, um…03:37:42The Sterling Outfitters and Expeditionary is open, and they do carry, like, just all kinds of stuff.
Luma
03:37:50Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:37:50Thank you.03:37:51So they would probably have…03:37:55They would probably have both of those things.03:37:59a bunch of fabric and charcoal.03:38:03Let’s see if I can find this place.
Luma
03:38:05Yeah, she’s not…03:38:06I’m not under any illusions that I’m going to be able to make…03:38:09a fucking…03:38:10whole ass gas masks that would allow us to walk through toxic clouds, but at the very least, like an emergency thing we can pop on while we’re running away.
Dungeon Master
03:38:18Yeah.
Luma
03:38:19- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:38:21the,03:38:24What I’m imagining is that this would…03:38:28not allow you to operate in like03:38:32in toxic gases, but would give you some minor resilience against them.
Luma
03:38:36Yeah, they’re emergency…
Dungeon Master
03:38:37which would probably…
Luma
03:38:39Like,03:38:39oh fuck, this is better than nothing.
Dungeon Master
03:38:42Which would probably amount to, like, advantage on saves versus the poisoned condition.03:38:46And then, like…03:38:48they have a limited life span.
Luma
03:38:48Yeah.03:38:52Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:38:53Um,03:38:55But yes, you…03:38:58You head to the Sterling Outfitters and Expeditionary, it’s basically like a general store on steroids.03:39:06a big like warehouse setup. But they have charcoal for sure. They have cloth for sure.
Luma
03:39:06Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:39:13Um,03:39:15Presuming that you want to make five masks, I think you’re going to be spending like ten gold.
Luma
03:39:23Uh,
Dungeon Master
03:39:25And then you can just mark that down as…03:39:29As…03:39:30as03:39:32five, like,03:39:34hazard masks or gas masks or whatever, and it’s basically just leather cloth and a charcoal filter.
Luma
03:39:45Um,03:39:47Okay.03:39:4810 gold for five emergency charcoal masks.
Dungeon Master
03:39:52Yes.
Luma
03:39:53Um…03:39:56And then…03:39:58She would like to stop by.03:40:02a03:40:03A pet shop.
Dungeon Master
03:40:05Okay. Are you getting a canary?
Luma
03:40:07Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:40:09Um,03:40:13Trying to decide on the fly if that’s like…
Luma
03:40:17Is that a thing I can do?03:40:18Any bird, realistically, would be fine.
Dungeon Master
03:40:20You could get a pigeon. What did I say pigeons were?
Temerity
03:40:25So,03:40:26Duh.
Dungeon Master
03:40:27Um,03:40:27was like five gold or something.
Temerity
03:40:29Yeah.03:40:30I want to say it was five gold.
Dungeon Master
03:40:32um,
Luma
03:40:32and what it comes out like,
Dungeon Master
03:40:33I’m just trying to…
Luma
03:40:34I need a canary. The closest we have is a pigeon.03:40:36Uh, close enough.
Dungeon Master
03:40:38Close enough. I’m trying to decide on the fly if it would be like…
Temerity
03:40:38laughs
Dungeon Master
03:40:43like a religious taboo to try and own a pet canary in a,
Temerity
03:40:44Peace out.
Dungeon Master
03:40:47in like a civilization that kind of has like a,03:40:50a specific reverence for Bahamut and nobody else.
Luma
03:40:53Oh, I forget that he’s like the canary dragon.
Dungeon Master
03:40:57That’s why the leaders of the dragoons are called canaries.
Luma
03:41:00Oh.
Temerity
03:41:01Hehehehe.
Luma
03:41:03Well, it could be like any small bird, like a sparrow.
Dungeon Master
03:41:06Yeah, you probably…03:41:09probably find…
Luma
03:41:12It’s a chicken.
Dungeon Master
03:41:12I mean, you can try to catch one.03:41:15There are birds in the city.03:41:16You probably find a pet shop and get like a little, like a sparrow.03:41:20It’s not trained.03:41:21It’s not trained.03:41:22It is…
Luma
03:41:22Oh!03:41:23What about a cockatiel?03:41:25- See you all.
Dungeon Master
03:41:25I feel…03:41:27Aren’t those expensive? Wouldn’t that be like, those are exotic, aren’t they? Or am I crazy?
Luma
03:41:30Are they?
Iva
03:41:30They are exotic tropical birds.
Dungeon Master
03:41:33Yeah, there’s no cockatiels.
Luma
03:41:33Oh, I thought they were just normal bird.03:41:35All right.
Dungeon Master
03:41:36No.03:41:37You get like a sparrow,03:41:39It’d be cheap.03:41:40It’d be like a gold and that’s mainly that expensive because like,
Luma
03:41:42Perfect.
Dungeon Master
03:41:45I don’t know. It’s weird. It is not trained. It is just a bird.
Luma
03:41:49Yeah, no, she gets a nice little cage for it.03:41:53uh,03:41:55Fashion’s a little like belt hook for that thing.03:41:58Literally…03:42:00burden of mine is the
Dungeon Master
03:42:02Yeah, I knew exactly, that’s why I asked you looking for a canary.
Luma
03:42:06Yeah, well, they’re like, it’s got poor air quality and…03:42:11Uh,03:42:12other problems that she’s got to deal with so she’s like the stories say03:42:15they used to bring birds into the mines so she’s gonna get one
Dungeon Master
03:42:20All right.
Luma
03:42:21Uh…03:42:22And then
Dungeon Master
03:42:24Hazel’s gonna beat you to death and free your bird.
Luma
03:42:27Well, I mean…03:42:28It’s a little bit meta, but a little bit doesn’t intend to let the bird go after the…03:42:33the adventure.
Hazel
03:42:34- No, no, no, no.
Luma
03:42:37uh,
Hazel
03:42:37I can like animal friendship it in like and like maybe
Luma
03:42:41Yeah.
Hazel
03:42:42not train it, but, but,03:42:44but make it more susceptible to following instructions, though Hazel would be very against the idea of letting it die.
Luma
03:42:51Yeah, no, Luma doesn’t want it to die.
Hazel
03:42:53Okay.
Luma
03:42:54Like…03:42:55Like, the whole bird in the canary thing is a…03:42:58it has smaller lungs, it’s the first thing to suffocate, so it stops03:43:02doing its birdsong or whatever, but it doesn’t like die immediately.03:43:05It’s the early wording.03:43:07We got to fucking get out of here or bird dies.
Hazel
03:43:09yeah
Luma
03:43:10Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:43:12Nice.
Luma
03:43:14Um…03:43:18uh,03:43:21I don’t think I can…03:43:22buy anything that would solve that problem.03:43:26uh,03:43:27I don’t think I could buy anything to deal with fucking03:43:30Wemer mechs.03:43:33Uh,
Dungeon Master
03:43:33- Yeah.
Luma
03:43:36- Yeah.03:43:39What?
Hazel
03:43:40said, “Heat Metal’s gonna go crazy.”
Luma
03:43:42Don’t have heat meddled.
Hazel
03:43:44Aww.
Luma
03:43:45I’m a baby artificer.03:43:47I’ve got first level spells.03:43:50- Ugh.03:43:50Next level. When do we level up?
Hazel
03:43:54Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:43:54Never.
Temerity
03:43:55Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
03:43:55your fourth level for the next like two years.
Luma
03:43:55Um,03:43:59Oh, God.03:43:59Um…03:44:01Okay.
Iva
03:44:02We just have to stall her out.
Luma
03:44:05I can’t really think of anything else that I could buy off the top of my head.03:44:09How big are the other vaults that they want me to map out?03:44:14Is it like a day thing?03:44:15Is it like a multi-day thing?03:44:17Is there any indication about that?
Dungeon Master
03:44:20They wanted you to… your thing specifically said two segments, and each segment has a couple…03:44:26what are called vaults. Vault is just like a sealable subsection of the underforges.03:44:33They can vary wildly in size, so you don’t really have a way to know.03:44:40um,03:44:41Other than, like, I guess the only thing is you know you were given…03:44:46a budget to hire security for a week.03:44:49And you know they tend to overestimate stuff like that on purpose and give you as much as like03:44:55They overestimate instead of underestimate03:44:57because they’d rather, like…03:44:59overtime budget than under time budget and have to deal with the repercussions of accidentally not03:45:05accounting for enough time. So it’s almost certainly they don’t expect it to take,03:45:09they expect it to take less than a week.
Luma
03:45:13Because…
Dungeon Master
03:45:14Um,
Luma
03:45:15Ain’t of oil…
Dungeon Master
03:45:16it.
Luma
03:45:19It doesn’t say.
Dungeon Master
03:45:21Um,03:45:24you would kind of have an inkling that most individual vaults03:45:28are probably like a large…03:45:31like a warehouse size room.
Luma
03:45:34OK.
Dungeon Master
03:45:35Um, so it’s so like,03:45:37you have two sections and each section was like four sections.03:45:41Um,03:45:42A day or two, maybe, depending on how things go.
Luma
03:45:47Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:45:48up me.
Luma
03:45:49Bye.
Dungeon Master
03:45:49Operating under assumptions, like obviously,03:45:52these are unmapped vaults, so you don’t actually know anything about them.
Luma
03:45:58Yeah.03:45:59All right, and there’s…03:46:01There’s no reason that we can’t just03:46:03leave to go get food and stuff so we’ll just keep her her reserve rations on the off chance that
Dungeon Master
03:46:05Yeah.
Luma
03:46:09they get stuck down there for a bit03:46:12Uh…03:46:15Yeah, she’ll buy another flask of oil…03:46:20Which I think is one silver.
Dungeon Master
03:46:24The biggest…03:46:25The time crunch factor you guys have is actually Temerity.03:46:30Temerity has a set thing she has to do in a couple days.
Luma
03:46:35- Right.03:46:37Already got torches. I’ve got a lantern.
Hazel
03:46:37Thank you.03:46:39Hehehe.
Dungeon Master
03:46:40true and hazel has an interview in about the same amount of time
Luma
03:46:43True.
Temerity
03:46:44- He he he he.
Luma
03:46:46Mm-hmm.03:46:47All right.03:46:48And she can make…03:46:50She can make bedrolls and other things if necessary. She’s got a pretty good list of on-the-fly craftables.03:46:56Uh,03:46:56like tents and stuff, which is funny.03:46:59Um…03:47:01Okay.03:47:02She’s going to head back to her apartment and, uh, fucking build a bed.
Dungeon Master
03:47:09You…03:47:10You head back to your apartment, you spend the night working on a bed, allotting yourself four hours for rest, but otherwise you can spend the rest of the night building a bed.
Luma
03:47:19Build a bed.
Dungeon Master
03:47:20Um,
Luma
03:47:21Bon, bon, bon.
Dungeon Master
03:47:22I feel like all of Luma’s walls just have soundproof written on them.03:47:27Does it work?03:47:28Maybe a little.03:47:29But,03:47:30I’m sure Luma tried it regardless.
Luma
03:47:32Uh…03:47:35Silence is a level two spell.03:47:36Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:47:37Thank you.
Luma
03:47:38Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:47:40But you’re able to at the very least get started, maybe even finish, I don’t know.03:47:46Um,03:47:48Oh, you can finish. A bed’s not going to cost03:47:5150 gold or however the crafting rules work.03:47:55So you could do it in eight hours.03:47:58Um,03:47:59You do that, Rhys, you, Hazel, you and Iva are walking Hazel home.03:48:08I believe is what was going on.
Rhysaene
03:48:10Yes.
Hazel
03:48:10You know, we’ll show them the way.03:48:18uh,03:48:20She’s probably got like just like03:48:24She’s got her arm wrapped around wrists right now.03:48:27She’s like, yeah, you know.03:48:29I would ask to sit on her back, but I would…03:48:35It’s too much movement.
Rhysaene
03:48:36Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:48:37Thank you.03:48:39Slow and steady.
Rhysaene
03:48:40Take your time, honey.
Hazel
03:48:43I mean,03:48:44that I am taking all the time.
Temerity
03:48:47All the time.
Hazel
03:48:48which is not much.03:48:51I’m good.03:48:53Thank you.03:48:54And yeah, so she03:48:59uh,03:49:04I imagine nothing really goes on during their walk.03:49:06They maybe chat a little bit, but…
Dungeon Master
03:49:09Yeah, you guys can chat, but there’s no, like, events.
Hazel
03:49:12Yeah.03:49:13Um,03:49:16Hazel would probably be pretty socialized out by this point, so she probably will…03:49:22won’t talk too much.
Rhysaene
03:49:24Hmm.
Hazel
03:49:24um,03:49:25But when they get back to03:49:27When they get to Calypso’s place, she says,03:49:30you can’t come in.
Rhysaene
03:49:33That’s fun.
Hazel
03:49:35Okay.
Iva
03:49:36Oh, rude.
Rhysaene
03:49:36He’s going to be okay.
Hazel
03:49:40Yeah, yeah, I’m going to be fine.03:49:45She makes sure to, she makes sure to,03:49:47tuck the map under like a potted plant or something nearby.
Dungeon Master
03:49:51Mm-hmm.
Hazel
03:49:53and goes, okay,03:49:57Um,03:49:57See you guys tomorrow. Goodbye.
Rhysaene
03:49:59See you tomorrow.
Iva
03:50:01Goodbye.
Hazel
03:50:03she’ll enter.03:50:05Hopefully.
Rhysaene
03:50:07- Oh, shit.
Hazel
03:50:08Oh, okay.03:50:09hopefully to a03:50:13to a nut, to a nut.03:50:16- Yeah.03:50:17Angry Calypso.
Dungeon Master
03:50:18Does Hazel remember the password?
Hazel
03:50:21Yes.03:50:23Do I remember the password?
Dungeon Master
03:50:23Okay.03:50:25I don’t remember the password.
Hazel
03:50:27I believe it was pumpernickel or something like it’s something along those lines.
Dungeon Master
03:50:30something03:50:32You enter and Calypso is
Iva
03:50:32Bye.03:50:33We know.
Dungeon Master
03:50:36You enter in Calypso is, um,03:50:39in the little kitchen reading and sipping on tea and she03:50:43It’s like, oh, you’re back.03:50:45I, Hecate said you’d be, wait.03:50:48What are you wearing?
Temerity
03:50:50Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:50:51it.03:50:52Um,03:50:54my03:50:57brand.03:50:59helped me get03:51:00dressed for a job interview.
Dungeon Master
03:51:05She tilts her head and there’s kind of like a little smirk.03:51:08says well.03:51:10That’s a whole03:51:13Number of things I would not expect you to say separately, let alone in one sentence.
Temerity
03:51:18Yeah.
Hazel
03:51:18Okay.03:51:19Okay.
Iva
03:51:19It’s your first.
Hazel
03:51:22Oh, you’re telling me, sister.03:51:27It’s just…03:51:28uh,
Dungeon Master
03:51:29What?
Hazel
03:51:31No, no.
Dungeon Master
03:51:32What sort of job?
Hazel
03:51:35Um,03:51:39I believe she called it a tavern wench.
Dungeon Master
03:51:42And03:51:44Yeah.03:51:46She kind of tilts her head and says, and why would you be doing that?
Hazel
03:51:52Um,03:51:54Well,03:51:54I,03:51:55thought.03:51:56to, I thought it best to03:52:00to take the03:52:02take the job of a layman.03:52:04What do you do?
Dungeon Master
03:52:06All right. Fair enough.03:52:10You look good, by the way.03:52:13That’s a, that,03:52:14That look suits you.
Hazel
03:52:16Oh.03:52:17Um,03:52:18She’s kind of like…
Temerity
03:52:21Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:52:26It’s very, very…03:52:28uh,03:52:28It’s a very weird…03:52:31for Hazel to experience bashfulness for the first time ever.
Dungeon Master
03:52:34Yeah.
Hazel
03:52:37She just kind of like03:52:38puts a hand over her cheek ’cause her face is red03:52:42and she just goes, “Thank you.”03:52:46I’m going03:52:47to I’m gonna go to bed.
Dungeon Master
03:52:50All right.03:52:52Night.
Hazel
03:52:54Good night. It’s it’s good to be.03:52:57It is good to be back.03:52:58uh,03:53:01I talk to you tomorrow.
Dungeon Master
03:53:04talk to you tomorrow.03:53:06and you head to bed, no problem.03:53:08We do need to pause for a brief moment03:53:10to reflect on the fact that Hazel03:53:12Hazel’s entire personal quest has become Kiki’s delivery service.
Temerity
03:53:17Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:53:18Hee hee hee hee!
Temerity
03:53:21Aww.
Rhysaene
03:53:21Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:53:22Hazel has to deal with the fact that, uh,03:53:25that like her entire like persona of this idea that she’s03:53:29that she doesn’t like03:53:31that like affection and shit is is is is nothing to her is just entirely built on the fact that as a kid she was denied affection so she doesn’t really know what it’s like so she’s like yeah03:53:41“Yeah, I don’t fucking need that shit. It’s probably not even that cool anyways.” And then, like, people are nice to her and, like, call her pretty and stuff, and she’s like, “Oh.”
Temerity
03:53:43sad music
Rhysaene
03:53:44I mean,
Hazel
03:53:48It’s a little nice.
Temerity
03:53:50laughs
Hazel
03:53:50- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:53:50I think a lot of that has to do with03:53:53Hazel’s isolation growing up03:53:57Which…03:53:59Early childhood was kind of imposed on her.03:54:02to a degree, and then later was almost entirely self-imposed.
Hazel
03:54:08uh,03:54:09Well, because it’s like to her, she’s like…03:54:12To her, she’s like…03:54:14um,03:54:16At that point already, she had already basically created that like entire artifice of like, yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:54:20Yeah, yeah.03:54:22No, for sure.
Hazel
03:54:25So now she’s just like, well, damn, why the hell did like,03:54:30Why was it?03:54:31Why was it actually kind of cool when I have a compliment to me that didn’t make any sense.
Dungeon Master
03:54:35Uh-huh.
Hazel
03:54:35Tukitur.
Temerity
03:54:35-
Iva
03:54:37- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:54:38Um,03:54:39But you head to bed03:54:40um,03:54:41risks and03:54:44And I have a head to Iva’s apartment.03:54:48or Teresa’s apartment.
Rhysaene
03:54:48Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:54:48Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:54:50Yeah.
Iva
03:54:50Take that race into my apartment now.
Temerity
03:54:53Hehehehehehe.
Rhysaene
03:54:54Overmatter.
Temerity
03:54:54Make yourself at home okay.
Rhysaene
03:54:56except for my dead fucking body.
Temerity
03:54:58laughter
Iva
03:55:01Uh,03:55:02Rhys, the only thing Iva talks about, as she’s also a little…03:55:06you know,
Rhysaene
03:55:07Mm-hmm.
Iva
03:55:09a gold deep into whiskey.03:55:11is like,03:55:12So cool. I want to be more like Hazel.
Rhysaene
03:55:16She…03:55:17She has a lot of cool traits about her.
Iva
03:55:23Hey, hey.
Rhysaene
03:55:33Oh, so I made your bed.
Iva
03:55:36I will look…
Rhysaene
03:55:37um,03:55:40um03:55:42You…03:55:45I got…03:55:45like a nice pantry. If you want anything, just tell me what you’re getting and then take it.03:55:52Please ask first.
Iva
03:55:56Iva nods.
Rhysaene
03:55:59Please.03:56:01She’s just…03:56:03She looks at Iva, not in a parental way,03:56:07And they’re in like, if I’m going to babysit you, you have to follow my rules.
Dungeon Master
03:56:12Um…03:56:14Sorry.
Iva
03:56:16I’m a nod.
Dungeon Master
03:56:20Since…03:56:21Since now Hazel’s been here and Iva’s been here, what is Rhys’s apartment like, like specifically?
Rhysaene
03:56:26Oh.03:56:27Oh my God.03:56:27Okay.03:56:28So I…
Temerity
03:56:28Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
03:56:29Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:56:31I imagine it as like…03:56:34There’s loads of flowing silks. It kind of looks like a boutique.03:56:41Like,
Dungeon Master
03:56:41Oh.
Rhysaene
03:56:43Um,03:56:44But it’s a very like, there’s lots of like pretty cloth,03:56:48there’s like silks.03:56:49There’s like pillows and stuff like that.03:56:51There is like a central bed or like den, I guess.03:56:56Um,03:56:57like coffins and things like that,03:56:59a very like rugs, like with lots of like intricate designs.03:57:03There’s like a makeup like parlor and things like that.03:57:07Um,03:57:09I think that that’s obviously the tub bath, which is in like a few…03:57:14There’s like a kitchen.03:57:17which is pretty nice as well.03:57:18It’s horse-sized, I think.03:57:22Everything is…03:57:23being whole sized.
Dungeon Master
03:57:25Yeah, yeah.
Rhysaene
03:57:28But03:57:28I like to think that there’s like03:57:32There’s like walk-in wardrobes.
Dungeon Master
03:57:36Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:57:37Yeah, there’s like03:57:39two of those because at one point this was an apartment shared by two people.
Dungeon Master
03:57:41This is03:57:43Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:57:44Um,03:57:47Mmm.03:57:51I think that’s it, but it’s very, it’s like, it’s like middle-class, like,03:57:56being it’s like middle class with like stylistic middle class.
Dungeon Master
03:58:00Yeah, yeah.
Rhysaene
03:58:04But yeah.03:58:05That’s it. That’s what I have in my mind for now.
Dungeon Master
03:58:09Nice.03:58:13um,03:58:14So is there anything else the two of you would like to do before going to bed for the evening?
Iva
03:58:21Ah, no.
Rhysaene
03:58:23No, I got nothing.
Dungeon Master
03:58:26Um,03:58:29All right, Temerity.
Temerity
03:58:31Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:58:32You head to the barracks.03:58:33And this is the first time in a couple days that you’ve stayed the barracks
Temerity
03:58:33Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:58:38Um,03:58:41the03:58:42And03:58:44When you get there, you, uh,03:58:48You, uh,03:58:50you kind of look for your bunk and you find that someone is sleeping in it.
Temerity
03:58:55Paul.03:58:57Um,03:59:02laughs03:59:05Temerity’s gonna…03:59:08shake them not like aggressively but like
Dungeon Master
03:59:10it’s,
Temerity
03:59:13papped their shoulder like
Dungeon Master
03:59:15It’s a younger, probably like 19 year old boyish face kind of guy, scruffy like facial hair.03:59:25light hair.03:59:27He wakes up. What? What? What? Oh!03:59:30Fuck, um…03:59:32Wait, you’re not in charge. What’s up?
Temerity
03:59:37That’s my bunk.
Dungeon Master
03:59:38What? No, it was assigned to me, uh, like,03:59:42this morning.
Temerity
03:59:46laughs03:59:48Who signed it to you?
Dungeon Master
03:59:50um,03:59:51And…03:59:52person in charge of light warden recruits,03:59:55Warden Brightshield.
Temerity
03:59:57Wow. He lets out a sigh.
Dungeon Master

Temerity
04:00:03All right.
Dungeon Master
04:00:04Oh, you’re the…04:00:09You’re the one that’s going over to the Dragoons, right?
Temerity
04:00:13Yes.
Dungeon Master
04:00:14Um,04:00:16You’d be on the other end of the barracks with the other wet scales then.
Temerity
04:00:21Oh.04:00:22uh,04:00:24All right, thank you, sorry to…
Dungeon Master

Temerity
04:00:58You’re good.
Dungeon Master
04:00:59Um…
Temerity

Dungeon Master
04:01:01fucking doohickey
Iva
04:01:03When you look for the doohickey, fuck you, Temerity.
Temerity
04:01:07Why?
Iva
04:01:08Why? You don’t just wake a dude up.
Temerity
04:01:12But he was in my bed.
Dungeon Master
04:01:12Yet.
Temerity
04:01:13That’s what Temerity thought.
Iva
04:01:14There’s other channels to go through.
Temerity
04:01:18The Temerity? No.04:01:20Temerity is just like, this was my bed.04:01:22Why is somebody in my bed?
Iva
04:01:24number of times I have broken up for things.
Temerity
04:01:25There were already several…04:01:27Several drinks in.
Iva
04:01:31number of times I got woken up for shit that wasn’t me shit.
Temerity
04:01:35Hey, hey, hey.
Iva
04:01:35in the Army.
Dungeon Master
04:01:37Um,04:01:38You head into another room.04:01:40It’s basically the same layout.04:01:42It’s double bunk beds, um…04:01:45lining the walls.04:01:48not like super late. So people are like around getting ready for bed. Um,04:01:53There are nine people in the room in various states of like going through the process of changing to sleep.04:02:01um,04:02:02or like already in bed,04:02:05Mm-hmm.04:02:06there’s a…04:02:09- Uh,04:02:09A lot of the bunks are clearly taken.04:02:11There are a couple that are just completely unoccupied.04:02:15But they aren’t labeled or anything.
Temerity
04:02:16Uh-huh.04:02:18Oh, boy.04:02:18Well, I guess Temerity should introduce themselves to somebody.
Dungeon Master
04:02:26Lots of people around as they’re
Temerity
04:02:29Does any person here look…04:02:33In any way more senior than the others?04:02:36Like they have a better grasp on what they’re doing.
Hazel
04:02:36Which one looks the most like juniper?
Dungeon Master
04:02:37Um…04:02:40Mm-hmm.04:02:41No, I mean, most of these people are pulled out of, like, they are already light wardens.
Temerity
04:02:46Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:02:47So no one looks more senior, like, more or less like they have a better grasp.04:02:52Almost everyone seems to be in their, like, mid-20s.04:02:58That’s the wrong thing.04:03:00like mid to early 20s04:03:03with04:03:06Hold on.04:03:07I’m double checking notes.
Temerity
04:03:09You’re good.
Dungeon Master
04:03:09Um,
Temerity
04:03:10There’s an older person.04:03:11Temerity will trust him, but for being a little bit older…04:03:14It’s not like…
Dungeon Master
04:03:16That’s Aegis, age profiling.
Temerity
04:03:16Yeah, it is literally just an age profiling like, oh, this person’s older, so they probably are like,
Dungeon Master
04:03:22Um,
Temerity
04:03:23going to be more personable to talk to.
Dungeon Master
04:03:24There is one person who looks a little older, if just.
Temerity
04:03:26- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:03:29Maybe like 30s or 40s, it’s really hard to tell as they are an elf.
Temerity
04:03:35- Ah.
Dungeon Master
04:03:35Um,04:03:36They…04:03:39they might look the opposite of what you were looking for.04:03:44Other than being older, they’re kind of like…04:03:47unkempt hair, long, like, messy…04:03:51um,04:03:53uh,04:03:55Amber eyes.04:03:57Um,04:04:01hair tied in like a loose ponytail…04:04:04Um,04:04:06They’re clearly an elf, as you can tell by their ears, but other than that,04:04:12He…04:04:15he’s just like a guy, he’s kind of like04:04:19um,04:04:19sitting on his bed sharpening a weapon04:04:23which looks to be a kind of like a hooked pick, like a war pick.04:04:28where the blade is made of bone.
Temerity
04:04:35Okay.04:04:35uh
Dungeon Master
04:04:40But he looks like he’s the oldest person in the room.
Temerity
04:04:43Okay, and nobody looks like immediately approachable.
Dungeon Master
04:04:47Uh,04:04:49A bunch, pretty much everyone else in the room looks more approachable than this guy.
Temerity
04:04:53Okay, then.04:04:54Then, yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:04:54He’s, like, the least approach.04:04:56Like, he’s literally sitting there, his, like, fucking, like,
Temerity
04:04:58Sharpening a bone.
Dungeon Master
04:05:00Tangled black hair, yellow, like, golden eyes, sharpening a bone pick.
Temerity
04:05:02- Yeah.04:05:09I don’t know. They might take04:05:11solace in another weirdo.04:05:13So you know what? Fuck it. Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:05:14Maybe.
Temerity
04:05:17DeMiradie’s like, alright.04:05:19I find more camaraderie04:05:21with this person.
Dungeon Master
04:05:23um,
Temerity
04:05:23Uh,04:05:24And we’ll walk up and be like, uh,04:05:27is are the04:05:29Bunks here are signed.04:05:31A new wet scale.
Dungeon Master
04:05:34Oh.
Temerity
04:05:34Or,04:05:35That’s all.
Dungeon Master
04:05:38You didn’t have to tell me you were new.04:05:40That’s pretty obvious. No, the bunks aren’t assigned.
Temerity
04:05:45All right.04:05:45Perfect.04:05:46In that case, Smerdi’s going to pick a free bunk.
Dungeon Master
04:05:50There are, there are.04:05:51Free bunks.
Temerity
04:05:53Yeah.
Iva
04:05:55You have to fight for a bunk.
Dungeon Master
04:05:55Thank you.
Iva
04:05:57free ones.
Dungeon Master
04:05:58There are no free ones.
Temerity
04:05:58Yeah.04:06:03Uh, yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:06:04um,04:06:06you pick out your bunk and you kind of hunker down and there’s, there’s,04:06:10there’s people, um, men and women, all pretty young, mostly human,04:06:15um04:06:16A couple people look like they might be half elven characters.04:06:20Um,04:06:21The person in the bunk next to you is a…04:06:26a young half-elven man,04:06:30really slight build, like, almost to the point where you’re, like,04:06:34This guy really wants to be a Dragoon.04:06:37He’s going to get himself killed. Um,04:06:39And he stands out because he’s incredibly pretty.04:06:45Just like perfectly sculpted soft features.04:06:49Um,04:06:50He’s sitting on his…04:06:53Bed.04:06:54Um,04:06:56folding like04:06:58like origami.
Temerity
04:07:02Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:07:03um,04:07:04And and.04:07:05Other than that, people getting ready for bed, essentially.
Temerity
04:07:09Okay.04:07:10Yeah, to me, well…04:07:12Well,04:07:13state her claim.04:07:14uh,
Dungeon Master
04:07:14you,04:07:16Yeah, do that no problem.
Temerity
04:07:21All right.04:07:22uh,04:07:23Yes.04:07:25sets up their bed.04:07:27Um,
Dungeon Master
04:07:27Yeah.
Temerity
04:07:34laughs04:07:37Yeah, it goes so bad.04:07:40I was debating on introducing…04:07:43But I think Temerity would want to be sober for making formal introductions.04:07:47and also doesn’t know the whole vibe of the area.04:07:49And so it’s just like, I don’t want to interrupt people04:07:51in their nightly rituals.
Dungeon Master
04:07:53Uh-huh.04:07:54Fair enough.04:07:55Um, you,04:07:56you stake your, you claim your territory and you go to bed. Everyone04:08:00Let’s see.04:08:01Um…04:08:03I think we just have Luma and Hazel left for…04:08:08ominous04:08:08portentous04:08:10dreams.
Temerity
04:08:11or tentus.
Hazel
04:08:11Loom of the portent before she has a big job the next day.
Luma
04:08:15Thank you.
Temerity
04:08:15laughs
Dungeon Master
04:08:15All right.04:08:17Um,04:08:21Does Hazel dream about?04:08:29Hazel does not have a portentous dream.
Hazel
04:08:35Let’s go.
Dungeon Master
04:08:38Hazel Dream.04:08:39I’m kidding.04:08:40Um,04:08:41Hazel Dreams…04:08:44of a tree.04:08:46a big tree, a big giant tree04:08:49um,04:08:50in the middle of the city where the chapel should be.04:08:55um,04:08:56In this dream, you kind of just like…04:08:59experience this tree04:09:01There’s not really, like…04:09:03action or movement or like person.04:09:07There’s just this tree in the middle of the city and its roots run through cracked stone, through cobblestone and into…04:09:16Unworked Earth and then into like…04:09:19deep underground into these big cavernous worked chambers of stone and deeper still into04:09:27Um,04:09:30into04:09:32a place that’s just hot.04:09:35like fire.04:09:36Um,04:09:39and here in the depths of04:09:43Under this tree, the roots are writhing.04:09:46and you wake up.
Temerity
04:09:49Oh, awesome.
Dungeon Master
04:09:52That’s a different tree, guys. Come on.
Hazel
04:09:55Hee hee hee hee.
Temerity
04:09:55Thank you.
Luma
04:09:56Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
04:10:02Everyone long rests.04:10:03I don’t think anyone really used many resources,04:10:05but everyone gets a long rest and the day begins,
Rhysaene
04:10:08- Of course.
Dungeon Master
04:10:11with each of you at your respective places you were before.
Rhysaene
04:10:14- Bye.
Dungeon Master
04:10:16Um,04:10:17If there’s anything you…04:10:24Sorry.04:10:25Um,
Luma
04:10:25Sorry.
Dungeon Master
04:10:27that they were just really loud.
Luma
04:10:29Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:10:30Oh,04:10:31That was funny.04:10:35If anyone wants to do anything before meeting up,04:10:39First of all, where are you meeting up?04:10:43You all didn’t really agree on that.04:10:44I guess it’s never really a barrier, because if you want to know where someone is, you just know where they are.
Hazel
04:10:51You know, it’s going to go to all of those apps.
Temerity
04:10:51Yeah.
Iva
04:10:51and I think,
Dungeon Master
04:10:54Hazel begins heading for Luma’s house.
Rhysaene
04:10:56Yeah, we’ll head to Luma’s house.04:10:58early.

Luma
04:12:11- Yeah.
Temerity
04:12:13Yeah.
Luma

Hazel
04:12:19Oh.
Luma

Hazel
04:12:22Hazel is just going to like…04:12:25hand the.04:12:26reach into her bag and hand risks the clothes that she wore the day before.
Rhysaene
04:12:32Let’s go.
Hazel
04:12:32and they’re all folded very neatly.
Rhysaene
04:12:35Oh.04:12:36Thanks.
Hazel
04:12:37- Mm-hmm.04:12:38Yes.04:12:39Of course.04:12:40I should be the one to thank you.04:12:41That was very kind.
Rhysaene

Hazel
04:12:46Oh,04:12:47No, they’re…04:12:49They were

Rhysaene
04:13:09Peace.04:13:11Consider it a welcoming gift to the city.
Hazel
04:13:15Oh.04:13:20has been considered.
Temerity
04:13:22Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:13:24Now,04:13:28to the task at hand.
Luma
04:13:30Oh, yeah.04:13:31So I got hired to explore the vaults.04:13:33We have to go to the Hall of the Anvils.04:13:35to talk to04:13:38Somebody, it doesn’t actually have a name, so I’m not sure who we’re supposed to talk to.04:13:42But we go there.04:13:43into the04:13:45Um,04:13:46the Hall of Valves.04:13:47is where the access point is. I’ve got the keys.04:13:50like last time.04:13:53um,04:13:54For the unsealing part, but we still need to get access to the under…04:13:58the tunnels and stuff.04:14:00first.04:14:02Um,04:14:04I put together a bunch of supplies04:14:06a little bit like gestures to a04:14:09Table.04:14:10That has a bunch of like leather and cloth masks with like weird…04:14:15cylindrical, uh,04:14:17containers next to them all.04:14:19and a small cage with a sparrow in it.04:14:24as well as like
Hazel
04:14:25Yeah.
Luma
04:14:26the rope that she has, some stacks of rations,04:14:30A couple oil flasks and04:14:34some unlit torches.
Hazel
04:14:36Mm-hmm.04:14:37Iza will immediately go to the sparrow in the cage and she will take out.04:14:43like some seeds in her pocket and just like,
Dungeon Master
04:14:46- Yeah.
Hazel
04:14:47hand them over.
Temerity
04:14:49Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:14:50Sparrow eats them up.
Temerity
04:14:53I didn’t realize you had a pet bird.
Luma
04:14:53Yeah, I heard.
Hazel
04:14:53Hello.
Luma
04:14:55I picked him up yesterday.04:14:59I’ve heard stories that miners used to take birds into the mines to04:15:03give them an early warning to toxic asses and stuff.04:15:06So I figured it might be a good idea to bring one.
Temerity
04:15:12Oh.
Hazel
04:15:14well.
Temerity
04:15:14Do they like squawk?
Luma
04:15:16Oh, they stopped singing.04:15:18Though I don’t know that Sparrow sings, so this plan might04:15:22not be as well thought out as it04:15:24I…
Hazel
04:15:26Mm-hmm.04:15:28It’s a little like.04:15:30So we’ll do like a little bird call to the sparrow to try to see if it’ll call back. I guess that would probably be what animal handling.
Dungeon Master
04:15:40- Animal handling, yeah.
Temerity
04:15:42Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:15:42Plus six. Nat 20, 26.
Luma
04:15:45Let’s fucking go.
Temerity
04:15:45Damn, just bust out a perfect sparrow call.
Dungeon Master
04:15:46And
Rhysaene
04:15:49Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:15:50Thank you.04:15:50Hazel does bust out a perfect Sparrow call to the point where…04:15:57If strangers were watching, they might raise an eyebrow as to how you could do that naturally.04:16:04Um,04:16:05But the sparrow tilts its head and answers back in like a full like bird song.
Hazel
04:16:10Aw, yay!
Temerity
04:16:12- He he he.
Luma
04:16:12- Apparently Sparrow’s deucing.04:16:14Neat.
Dungeon Master
04:16:15I don’t know.04:16:16This one does. That’s all I know.
Temerity
04:16:18Hehehehe.
Luma
04:16:18Yeah, and I…04:16:20Yeah, I just meant like in general, not even just to like respond.
Dungeon Master
04:16:23Uh-huh.
Temerity
04:16:23I don’t know.
Luma
04:16:23Uh…04:16:24So it does actually function like Luma wants it to.04:16:27Bye.
Temerity
04:16:28- Perfect.
Hazel
04:16:28I told you guys I liked bird watch.
Luma
04:16:29Uh…
Dungeon Master
04:16:31Yeah.
Temerity
04:16:31- Hmm.
Luma
04:16:31Oh, that was really cool.
Temerity
04:16:33That was a very good…
Hazel
04:16:34- Thank you.
Temerity
04:16:35Bird call.
Iva
04:16:35Good again.
Hazel
04:16:38um,04:16:40and performance anxiety.04:16:42I can’t do it again.
Temerity
04:16:44I can’t do it on command.
Hazel
04:16:45you know,
Luma
04:16:46- Yeah, that was our one net 20 of the month.
Hazel
04:16:48Yeah.
Temerity
04:16:49True.
Hazel
04:16:49I have a 5% chance to do it again and I’m not going to trust those odds.
Luma
04:16:50- Oh, no.04:16:51- Yeah.04:16:53Mm-hmm.04:16:54Yeah.
Hazel
04:16:55Good night.04:16:55I’m not going to double or nothing.
Luma
04:16:58And then, yeah, I just got a bunch of other supplies that I already had on hand.
Temerity
04:16:58Hehehehe.
Luma
04:17:01And then, of course, I can make things with my bag.04:17:03and my pen, but that’s04:17:06you know,04:17:07secret.04:17:09Um…04:17:10The note.04:17:11Or the orders?04:17:14specifically called out…04:17:17Poor air quality as a potential issue, toxic gas buckets.04:17:22So these are emergency masks. They’re not going to protect you completely against toxic gas.04:17:27But.04:17:28Um,04:17:29it might give us some extra time to run04:17:32So keep it on hand.04:17:35She’ll go through the like.04:17:37steps necessary to put the mask on and attach the little charcoal filter canister to it.
Hazel
04:17:43like the preflight, uh,04:17:45Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:17:45Yeah.04:17:47Uh, it also.
Hazel
04:17:47You have new GTX.
Luma
04:17:49mentioned structural instability.04:17:51Um, these faults have been sealed for like 500 years.04:17:55So, um.04:17:57We have no idea what the quality of the…04:18:00the tunnels are.04:18:02Um,04:18:03And also, I guess.04:18:05Seismic instability.04:18:07Um,04:18:08So like cracks and fissures and stuff kind of opened up.04:18:10in the tunnels.04:18:12So we gotta be very careful about04:18:14new passages, letting04:18:16outside creatures and.04:18:18Like rats…04:18:19And…
Temerity
04:18:20Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:18:20Ghoulmonsters.04:18:22Um…
Temerity
04:18:23Pretty nuts.
Luma
04:18:24And then there’s a note that says something about security infrastructure.04:18:29Um…04:18:31Older sections may contain legacy security mechanisms that were not deactivated prior to sealing.04:18:36I don’t know what that means.04:18:40I guess traps
Temerity
04:18:43- Resumed traps, yeah.
Luma
04:18:46I don’t know why you would have traps in a service tunnel, but that’s what the note says, so…04:18:50You know?04:18:51Be careful.
Iva
04:18:53Many people were trying to steal the service.
Temerity
04:18:5329.
Luma
04:18:59Maybe.
Temerity
04:19:00He he he.
Luma
04:19:00Um,04:19:01But I’ve got all of the mapping supplies that I need and all of the04:19:06things that they want me to map out and stuff like that.04:19:10I just need you to…04:19:11be security and muscle.04:19:13and also make me less nervous about being in the dark for an extended period of time.
Temerity
04:19:17Hehehehe.04:19:21Well.
Luma
04:19:21I don’t.04:19:22I don’t want to go down there alone.
Temerity
04:19:24Well…04:19:27I’ll do my best to protect you, Luma.
Luma
04:19:31Thank you.
Temerity
04:19:33Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:19:33- Well, make sure you get out of there.
Luma
04:19:36Yeah, that’s preferable.
Hazel
04:19:38Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:19:38He, he, he, he, he, he.
Luma
04:19:41But that’s all I can think of. If anybody wants to read the work order, you’re free to. I mean, it’s just a bunch of technical jargon.
Temerity
04:19:52Maybe we’ll pass.
Hazel
04:19:58um04:19:59Yeah, I am.04:20:02I trust in04:20:04I trust in your ability to understand it more than I will.
Temerity
04:20:10Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:20:11Oh, right.04:20:12um…04:20:13They’ve, they’ve, they’ve,04:20:14Mention unmarked passages and structural anomalies. We’re supposed to mark them but not explore them.04:20:20So.04:20:21Don’t leave the04:20:23the zone that we’re supposed to be in.
Hazel
04:20:26Understood.
Temerity
04:20:35at your lead
Luma
04:20:35Luma says fully anticipating wanting to go explore an unexplored or unmarked passage.
Temerity
04:20:41Hehehehe.
Hazel
04:20:42Mmm.
Luma
04:20:45Oh, did you look at that? I read the map wrong.
Temerity
04:20:47Oh.
Luma
04:20:54Are you kidding? Fucking 500-year-old sealed vaults?
Temerity
04:20:59He he he he he he he he he.
Hazel
04:20:59I think.
Luma
04:21:00If it wasn’t for the fact that this entire thing is terrifying, I was super excited.
Dungeon Master
04:21:00- Yeah.
Temerity
04:21:04Uh-huh.
Luma
04:21:04- Yeah.
Temerity
04:21:05laughs04:21:08Yeah, maybe it’s just like, all right, well, that’s your lead.
Luma
04:21:13Okay.04:21:13She’ll start loading everything in.04:21:15She’ll pass out the masks.04:21:16Um…04:21:18Attach the sparrow cage to her.04:21:21were built04:21:23Shoulder hit back and lead the way.
Dungeon Master
04:21:26you,
Luma
04:21:27Oh.04:21:28We’re headed across the inner city.04:21:30bridge so04:21:32You should probably spider up.
Hazel
04:21:35in04:21:36Yes.04:21:37uh,04:21:39and04:21:41A spider is…04:21:46is frightened.04:21:47and then she turns into a bunny.04:21:49Like…04:21:52I can hide in the hat. It’s like a magician.
Luma
04:21:55I feel like there’s a cliche here, but she takes the hat off with a little swish and offers it to the bunny Hazel.
Temerity
04:21:55Yeah.
Hazel
04:21:57Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:21:58Hehehehe.
Hazel
04:22:03tops and
Luma
04:22:05She’ll put it back on her head.04:22:07kind of situate it.
Hazel
04:22:09Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:22:10And then by the time we cross the bridge--04:22:14Hazel suffocated in the bag of holding it.
Hazel
04:22:17Bleh.
Dungeon Master
04:22:17No, I think she’s just in the hat, not the bag of holding.
Temerity
04:22:17Thank you.
Luma
04:22:18So,04:22:19No, no.
Temerity
04:22:19No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Luma
04:22:20Yeah, she’s04:22:21Just in the hat.
Dungeon Master
04:22:24um,
Luma
04:22:24All right.04:22:26Off we go.
Dungeon Master
04:22:26Hazel, inside the hat,04:22:28You still have like your dark vision, right?04:22:31When you wild shape.
Hazel
04:22:32Um, I don’t think I keep my senses. I think I inherit the senses of what the
Dungeon Master
04:22:36So,
Hazel
04:22:38of the thing I’ve04:22:40I’ve taken.
Dungeon Master
04:22:40Well,04:22:41As the hat is being put on over Luma’s head,04:22:45you can read words written in the hat.04:22:49Um,04:22:50in Hecate’s, like…04:22:53handwriting.04:22:54Um,04:22:55that say always fits perfectly.
Hazel
04:22:58- Eh.
Temerity
04:22:59Eeeh.
Luma
04:23:00She knows the magic words.04:23:02Wait,
Hazel
04:23:02Hey!
Temerity
04:23:02Yeah.
Luma
04:23:04What the fuck? Hold on.
Temerity
04:23:06laughs04:23:09Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:23:12Hold on.
Luma
04:23:14Hold on.
Hazel
04:23:16I think rabbits have
Luma
04:23:16She’s--
Hazel
04:23:18can, can,04:23:19see in the dark i don’t think a rabbit is a real creature in the
Dungeon Master
04:23:23No, I don’t, I don’t know.
Hazel
04:23:25Maybe hair.04:23:27Yeah, their hairs.04:23:28in an icewindale rhyme of the frostbaters, I guess.04:23:31They do not. Okay.
Rhysaene
04:23:33- Bye.
Luma
04:23:37There’s a dire bunny.04:23:39Yeah.
Hazel
04:23:39I’ll see you next time.
Temerity
04:23:40laughs
Dungeon Master
04:23:40I don’t think that’s real.
Luma
04:23:40Bye.04:23:42Yeah.
Temerity
04:23:42laughs04:23:42laughs
Luma
04:23:44Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting.
Dungeon Master
04:23:47Yeah, that’s a third party.
Hazel
04:23:47Oh, yeah.04:23:50but04:23:52we can make an exception, right?
Temerity
04:23:52- Dyer Rabbit would go crazy.
Luma
04:23:54It’s an aberration anyway.
Hazel
04:23:54I don’t know.
Temerity
04:23:55Thank you.
Hazel
04:23:56uh,
Luma
04:23:57Ha ha ha.04:23:59does have darkvision.
Hazel
04:23:59Wait, an aberration?
Rhysaene
04:24:00for the nation.
Luma
04:24:02Yeah, it’s a dire bunny.04:24:04Its whole thing is that if it sees a bone, it gets distracted by the bone.04:24:08uh,
Temerity
04:24:08Yeah.
Luma
04:24:09And it spends its entire existence trying to sequester the bone.
Hazel
04:24:14Good.
Temerity
04:24:15He he he he.
Hazel
04:24:15Huh.04:24:17to feed.
Luma
04:24:19It also has detect thoughts once per day.
Hazel
04:24:21Yeah.
Luma
04:24:22What?
Temerity
04:24:22laughter
Hazel
04:24:23There’s the aberration part of it.
Luma
04:24:24laughter04:24:26- Yeah.04:24:29- Yep.
Dungeon Master
04:24:31You all…04:24:32With Hazel hidden, crossing the bridge is no problem at the gate.04:24:37They check your documents and no one’s…04:24:43gives them any cause to stop you all are allowed in,04:24:46You head across the…04:24:49the Lantern Wards. For some of you the first time here,04:24:53Here the streets are all like a nice laid cobblestone, um, buildings are stone construction, all of a fairly, not uniform in style, but uniform in like,04:25:04presence.04:25:05almost like the construction inside these walls is a lot more cohesive.04:25:10Um,04:25:11You head through the heart of the city, which takes you past the massive, like, beautiful, almost gothic-style chapel of the Silver Flame.04:25:21the southernmost part, a large tower structure,04:25:26with huge stained glass windows04:25:30Um,04:25:31With, with a transparent, like.04:25:34not markings, but the central glass isn’t stained, it’s transparent,04:25:40and that glass lets silver light pour through,04:25:43which you suspect to be the literal glass.04:25:47in this case, light of the silver flame, like the physical thing.
Temerity
04:25:51- Uh-uh.
Dungeon Master
04:25:52Um,04:25:53On the north side of the cathedral is surrounded by a big open plaza with grass and trees.04:26:00There’s a decent-sized pond.04:26:02And on the north side, somewhat near the pond, is a massive statue of…04:26:08of a silver or platinum dragon, which has to be a statue, you imagine, of Bahamut himself.
Temerity
04:26:15Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
04:26:16Um,04:26:18The statues like, uh,04:26:21I say massive. I mean, it is, it is massive for something made out of silver or platinum. Um,04:26:27That’s for sure.04:26:27It’s like…04:26:3040 feet from nose to end of tail.04:26:33- Oh.04:26:35Like a…04:26:3640-ish foot wingspan.04:26:38So it’s not, like, massive, except that, like…04:26:41I don’t know, it’s the biggest dragon statue any of you have seen.
Temerity
04:26:46Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:26:46Uh,04:26:47you cross that, you cross to the other side, um, you pass, um,04:26:52the, um,04:26:53What you vaguely and Iva for sure know to be the actual headquarters of the Order of the Lantern,04:27:00Uhm?04:27:04The barracks are not the headquarters.04:27:06The headquarters are over here.04:27:07And then finally you reach a large, like…
Temerity
04:27:08Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:27:10Um,04:27:11stone building04:27:13While all the houses and stuff are constructed with stone, this building is constructed of stone.04:27:19It almost has like a…04:27:23like a temple like structure, big stone pillars up front and on the front.04:27:28is the symbol of the vaultsmiths.04:27:31a symbol you’re all familiar with because it’s also the symbol on every copper anvil.04:27:36It is a literal anvil.04:27:38and then floating above that anvil the exact same, like,04:27:43flame mote that is used by the Synod as their emblem.04:27:49um,04:27:50on the front is that inside is a very busy,04:27:54It’s a very odd vibe. It is like a temple converted into a guild hall.04:28:01There are people in various activities going back and forth, many of them wearing a medallion with that same emblem, which is the emblem of the vaults.04:28:15Um,04:28:15And yeah, you’re here.
Temerity
04:28:19Temerity while walking over here.04:28:22had several moments where they stopped and just like stared in awe at things,04:28:27especially the silver flame.04:28:28And then like caught back up to the ground.
Rhysaene
04:28:32- Huh.
Hazel
04:28:32might come out yet.
Dungeon Master
04:28:35True. Before you get there, you might want to find a place for Hazel to come out.
Luma
04:28:36Yeah.
Temerity
04:28:40Yeah.
Luma
04:28:42Yeah, well, we’ll…04:28:44hit like an alley.04:28:45And, um,04:28:48the hat upside down on the ground so that Hazel can hop out.
Dungeon Master
04:28:52It is.04:28:54It is more difficult to find a private place here.04:28:57The buildings are not as close together.04:28:59There aren’t as many spots that are like…04:29:02obscured from view, but you are able to find such a place.04:29:08um,
Luma
04:29:08OK, you can come out now.
Hazel
04:29:11Point.
Dungeon Master
04:29:13Point.
Hazel
04:29:13video room.04:29:16laughs
Luma
04:29:17I can’t express how cute that is, by the way.
Hazel
04:29:17Hello.
Temerity
04:29:17Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:29:20you
Hazel
04:29:20Oh.04:29:21Oh.04:29:23What’d I do?
Luma
04:29:23I don’t know.04:29:24Bunnies are really cute.
Hazel
04:29:26True.04:29:28I I.
Temerity
04:29:28Thank you.
Hazel
04:29:31always wanted to touch one.04:29:34But I guess being one is also okay.
Temerity
04:29:38Yeah.04:29:41You can get…
Luma
04:29:42I’ll show you this pet shop later.04:29:43I think it might have bunnies.
Hazel
04:29:45Oh.04:29:46Yes, thank you.
Luma
04:29:47Bye.04:29:48Luma accidentally, like, shows Hazel a point that she could, like…
Hazel
04:29:48She could also just
Luma
04:29:52free a bunch of animals from not realizing it.
Dungeon Master
04:29:53Oh.
Hazel
04:29:54Yeah.
Temerity
04:29:55laughs
Dungeon Master
04:29:56You’re creating all kinds of problems.04:29:57Not only is this going to lead to Hazel, like…
Luma
04:29:58Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:30:01performing a pet shop revolution and freeing a bunch of animals,
Luma
04:30:04Ugh.
Dungeon Master
04:30:04Hazel will also immediately gain like 30 wild shape forms.
Temerity
04:30:09Yeah.
Luma
04:30:09Oh,
Hazel
04:30:10Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:30:10Mm-hmm.04:30:12Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:30:13Hell yeah.04:30:15Um, all right. Yeah. Luma will put her, put her hat back on and then, uh, look around.04:30:21Temerity…04:30:22being like awestruck by everything is about the same for Luma once they get into the like Vaultsmith area.04:30:28uh,
Temerity
04:30:28Hee hee hee.
Luma
04:30:30It’s all very, very fascinating for a completely different reason.04:30:33but she’ll try and find her way towards the
Temerity
04:30:34Uh-huh.
Luma
04:30:39the first indicated spot on the04:30:41on the work order.
Dungeon Master
04:30:43you know,04:30:45that the04:30:49Hall of Valves is…04:30:51Or the Valve Halls, sorry, it’s not the Hall of Valves, it’s just the Valve Halls.04:30:56I got confused by my own stupid shit.04:30:58You know that the valve halls are in and of themselves part of the underforged vaults, and therefore those must be under here somewhere.
Temerity
04:31:10me downstairs.
Dungeon Master
04:31:10You cannot…04:31:12you kind of look around and you do find04:31:15Um,04:31:16you do find a, um,04:31:18a passageway that has Valve Halls written over it.04:31:23And there is what looks like a guard.04:31:27They’re still wearing the vaultsmith bedallion,04:31:29but they seem to be wearing light armor and armed.04:31:33standing outside the04:31:35The, like, entrance.04:31:35It is a big, like…04:31:38It’s like an entrance to a subway platform, essentially.04:31:41It’s a big open stairwell leading down.
Luma
04:31:45Yeah, Luma will approach the guard.
Dungeon Master
04:31:47The guard looks at Luma and looks at the others and says, um,04:31:52business in the…04:31:54in the valve halls.
Luma
04:31:56- Yeah, hi, my name is Luma Drace.04:31:59I’m a cartographer with the Bureau of Infrastructure and Mapping.04:32:02I have a work order.04:32:04to map out the04:32:07Vaults 13 through 16.04:32:09in the valve hall.
Dungeon Master
04:32:09for teachers who are 16.04:32:11Oh!
Luma
04:32:12And that was six.
Dungeon Master
04:32:14That’s not…04:32:15That’s not in the Valve Hall.04:32:17That’s below the Valve Halls.
Luma
04:32:20Yeah, they told me that
Dungeon Master
04:32:20You’ll have to take those
Luma
04:32:22that I had to go through the valve hall six to get there.
Dungeon Master
04:32:24Mind if I look at the work order?
Luma
04:32:26Yeah, and she’ll present it.04:32:28She also includes her documentation with it.
Dungeon Master
04:32:28Hey, take,04:32:31Yeah, he glances at hers, puts it aside, reads the work order, gets to the end, and says,04:32:36well, it’s got the seals and everything.04:32:38Yep, here you go.04:32:39You’ll go through…04:32:41You’re going to have to go through all of the Valve Halls.04:32:44um,
Luma
04:32:45All fun.
Dungeon Master
04:32:45the,04:32:46the, uh,04:32:48And then…04:32:50In Vault 6, in the last of the Valve Halls,04:32:54Um,04:32:55All of the Valve Halls have tunnels leading into other vaults, and the ones you’re looking for are in valve hole 6.04:33:02Don’t touch any valves.04:33:04Obviously,04:33:05- Okay.
Luma
04:33:06game of it.
Dungeon Master
04:33:07Could explode us all.
Temerity
04:33:10Ooh.
Luma
04:33:11Yeah, somebody would be crazy to touch valves without knowing what they did.
Dungeon Master
04:33:11um,04:33:16That’s true.04:33:17That’s really true.04:33:18Well said.
Temerity
04:33:19very true.
Dungeon Master
04:33:20It’s very true.04:33:21Um,04:33:24you’re,04:33:25Have you been in the Underforged vaults before?
Luma
04:33:28Yeah, I did one.04:33:30For, uh,04:33:32Fuck, I think it was Vault 101.
Dungeon Master
04:33:35No, you’re in the maintenance tunnels. That is not the same thing.
Luma
04:33:39Oh, maintenance on a 101 then.
Dungeon Master
04:33:41Maintenance tunnels aren’t the vaults. Those run close to the surface. They run feed lines from the vaults containing everfire or steam or water.04:33:51But those aren’t the vaults.04:33:53Sounds like you haven’t.
Luma
04:33:53It little would have…04:33:54Luma said what I said the maintenance level correctly.04:33:57I just misremembered it.
Dungeon Master
04:33:59Yeah.
Luma
04:33:59But yeah, yeah.04:34:01Oh, yeah, I guess I haven’t been in a vault problem.
Dungeon Master
04:34:01- Thank you.04:34:05All right, well,04:34:06Stay in the area you’re supposed to be in, don’t go wandering.04:34:10Um,
Luma
04:34:10Yes, sir.
Dungeon Master
04:34:11If something looks hot,04:34:13It’s probably really hot.
Luma
04:34:15Okay.
Dungeon Master
04:34:18what else.04:34:18Um, you’re going to, what vault did you say?
Luma
04:34:22My first expedition is 13 through 16.
Dungeon Master
04:34:2513.04:34:26You’re going to be hundreds of feet underground.04:34:30So just bear that in mind.
Luma
04:34:32Oh, great.04:34:33Thanks for04:34:34informing me of that.04:34:36Oh dear.
Dungeon Master
04:34:37hate gestures and like for you guys to go ahead.
Luma
04:34:41Thank you.
Temerity
04:34:43Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:34:46you pass down into the Valve Halls the stairs wind down and wind down and wind down you go below the04:34:54level of the maintenance tunnels where you were before you go below the lowest part of the sewers04:34:59you had descended into when you went and found miles and silas and from there you keep going down04:35:05and as you go down it gets hotter04:35:08Not, like, not, like, wildly…04:35:12hot yet, but the surface in the heart of the city is probably like mid fifties and it’s04:35:17probably upper sixties at this point.04:35:21Um,04:35:21and then you pass into your first vault.04:35:25You go from these descending tunnels into a big open chamber,04:35:29copper looking pipes running everywhere.04:35:33and the hall earns its name.04:35:35valves all over the fucking place.04:35:38Vaultsmiths moving back and forth,
Luma
04:35:38- Huh?
Dungeon Master
04:35:41checking pressures…04:35:43rerouting lines, that sort of thing.04:35:47These are big open chambers. Ceilings are probably 40 feet high.04:35:52Um,04:35:53They’re probably like…04:35:55100 feet by 150 feet vaguely, like big open areas full of pipes and valves and people. And you pass through Vault 2.04:36:08to Vault 3, to Vault 4.04:36:10And as you go, you’re passing a bunch of04:36:14vaultsmiths and some guild of sparks04:36:17um,04:36:18people04:36:19Um,04:36:20But as you make your way, you overhear what seems to be…04:36:25like a heated discussion between two people.04:36:28One is a young human man, dusted with freckles,04:36:32light red, short cut hair, probably like five, nine,04:36:37holding like a clipboard and like,04:36:40furiously scribbling.04:36:41The other is a shorter, grizzled old,04:36:48Um,04:36:49And the dwarf says, listen.04:36:51I need04:36:53uh,04:36:54two barrels grade two, grade two machiner oil,04:36:57and I need it now.04:36:59Um,04:37:01The younger one says,04:37:04Oh, um,04:37:05Well, we have a temporary supply shortage, and it includes that grade of machine oil.04:37:11If I could take a look at the apparatus that requires it and do an assessment, I can requisition…04:37:19And then the04:37:20The dwarf says, “You.”04:37:24in.04:37:24Are you new lad?04:37:27You’re not authorized to be in the minting vaults.04:37:30No, no, no.04:37:32Um,04:37:33Two barrels.04:37:34Grade 2 machine oil for the minting vaults.04:37:37Have it down there in a couple hours, or I’ll have your job.04:37:41um,04:37:42Kid like04:37:43like eyes bulge out of his head.04:37:44He’s like,04:37:45uh,04:37:45I’ll see what I could do. And he scribbles something down, heads off.04:37:49The dwarf pulls a leather wrapped silver flask off his hip and takes a big swig out of it. Hazel?04:37:57You recognize this dwarf.
Temerity
04:38:00Huh?
Hazel
04:38:01Oh,
Dungeon Master
04:38:02you recognize him as the dwarf you saw on the festival grounds,04:38:07old and clearly less drunk than he was that night,04:38:11but still looks like he’s on his way.04:38:15He kind of grumbles something under his breath and he starts heading off.
Hazel
04:38:22Hazel goes, hello.
Dungeon Master
04:38:25Pete.
Temerity

Hazel
04:38:30Yes.04:38:31We’ve met.04:38:33She waves.
Dungeon Master
04:38:33He looks at you.04:38:36He narrows his eyes really narrow and says,04:38:41No, we’ve never met.04:38:42I don’t remember you.
Hazel
04:38:44Oh.04:38:45Aw.
Dungeon Master
04:38:47He was fucking smashed that night.
Hazel
04:38:47- Damn.04:38:50Newfound confidence destroyed.
Temerity
04:38:51He, he, he, he.
Dungeon Master
04:38:52New found confidence destroyed.04:38:56Can I help you with something?
Rhysaene
04:38:57Aww.
Hazel
04:39:00No, sorry.04:39:02Defer to my employer.
Temerity
04:39:04Hehehehe.
Luma
04:39:05Oh, I’m the employer.
Hazel
04:39:05laughs
Dungeon Master
04:39:05He…04:39:07More elves!04:39:10Mm.
Luma
04:39:11Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:39:13Don’t usually see so many elves down here.04:39:16What’s that about?
Luma
04:39:18Oh, I’m…04:39:19I’m a cartographer with the Bureau of Infrastructure and Mapping, and I’m going to04:39:25some of the vaults to give you guys some new maps.
Dungeon Master
04:39:28What do we need new maps for?
Luma
04:39:30Oh, they’re unsealing some of the old vaults that are closed.04:39:34and they will
Dungeon Master
04:39:34What?
Luma
04:39:36They’re unsealing some of the old vaults that were closed.
Temerity
04:39:39What?
Luma
04:39:40And
Dungeon Master
04:39:40This is the first I’m hearing about that.
Luma
04:39:43Uh, I,04:39:44That’s just what the work order told me to do.
Dungeon Master
04:39:46Yeah, yeah, it’s got nothing to do with me.04:39:48They don’t let me, they don’t tell me anything anymore.04:39:51He takes another swig and grumbling under his breath as he drinks.
Temerity
04:39:57- Yeah.
Luma
04:39:57They might have told you, you just forgot.
Dungeon Master
04:40:01I never forget anything.
Temerity
04:40:01Oh, no.04:40:04Ha ha ha ha!
Dungeon Master
04:40:04What are you trying to say?
Rhysaene
04:40:07Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:40:09Oh, you forgot Hazel.
Dungeon Master
04:40:11I’ve never met this elf in my life.
Luma
04:40:17Are you sure?
Dungeon Master
04:40:19I’m pretty sure…
Hazel
04:40:20It’s okay. It’s okay.
Luma
04:40:22Well, you were sure a second ago. Now you’re pretty sure now.04:40:25Are you going to be a little less sure if I ask again?
Dungeon Master
04:40:30What’s your name?
Luma
04:40:30It’s okay.
Iva
04:40:30It’s…
Luma
04:40:31My name is Luma.
Dungeon Master
04:40:35Go do whatever job they gave you.04:40:37I’ve got work to do.04:40:38He takes another drink and starts heading off.
Luma
04:40:39Okay.
Temerity
04:40:39There you go.
Luma
04:40:41Good luck with your work.
Dungeon Master
04:40:43Yeah, you too, elf.
Luma
04:40:45Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:40:47What is this?
Temerity
04:40:49-
Rhysaene
04:40:49with the city.
Iva
04:40:50I have a ways that they walk by
Luma
04:40:52Mm-hmm.04:40:53- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:40:54He continues off heading…04:40:56He heads to another vault passage, like the one you’re heading to,04:41:00that leads to another section of the vaults.04:41:03Um,04:41:04you all reach, um,04:41:07a passageway.04:41:09passage is carved into the stone itself, remembering that you’re already pretty deep underground.04:41:16And this one descends…04:41:18steeply down04:41:20um,04:41:21Luckily for Rhys, a very wide staircase.
Rhysaene
04:41:25Oh, thank goodness.
Dungeon Master
04:41:26heading deep into the earth.
Temerity
04:41:26Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
04:41:29And as you descend this staircase,04:41:32um,04:41:32it does get hotter and hotter and hotter.04:41:35Um,04:41:36They’re branching paths, but everything seems clearly marked.04:41:40By numbers.04:41:42So you had their pads branching off to higher number vaults.04:41:47Um,04:41:48most of which seem to be heavily restricted.04:41:51There are a lot of guards down here.04:41:53But the path you take eventually stops having these branching paths04:41:56as you just keep going down and down and down and down04:42:01until you reach…04:42:03Um,04:42:04a large, like,04:42:07It’s still a…04:42:09tunnel, it’s still a passageway, but it opens wider to this round,04:42:13what almost looks like a full cast iron door.04:42:18a big circular like barrier and04:42:21At like.04:42:23It goes up probably about 20 feet.04:42:26But at like,04:42:28about four feet on the door is a04:42:32like a cross keyhole.04:42:33which Luma you of course recognize as the style of whole04:42:37Um,04:42:39that they04:42:41they use, um, the, the, the guild of spark styles key.04:42:45And you can tell this like lock mechanism has been added to this cast iron door04:42:50more recently. It’s, um,04:42:52It is a, it is a lighter metal and it is much newer.
Luma
04:42:56- Oh, yeah.04:42:58Okay, everybody.04:42:59This is a threshold.04:43:01Everything beyond this point is unmapped and unknown.
Temerity
04:43:07- All right.04:43:08Temerity will grip their hammer a little.
Luma
04:43:08Okay.
Rhysaene
04:43:11English?
Luma
04:43:11Alrighty.
Iva
04:43:13Iva readies their shield and spear.
Rhysaene

Luma

Dungeon Master
04:43:23Oh, you’re so funny.
Hazel
04:43:23It hits.
Rhysaene
04:43:23Thank you.
Hazel
04:43:24I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
Dungeon Master
04:43:26No, you’re all right.
Hazel
04:43:27Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:43:27Rhys will summon her green sword.
Hazel
04:43:28Hazel…I’m sorry I’m sorry!
Dungeon Master
04:43:31Oh.
Luma
04:43:31Oh, shit.
Dungeon Master
04:43:31All right.
Temerity
04:43:32Oh,
Dungeon Master
04:43:32-
Luma
04:43:32Oh, shit.
Temerity
04:43:33Maybe a bit early.
Rhysaene
04:43:35- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:43:36Um, but,
Luma
04:43:36That’s still so cool.
Dungeon Master
04:43:38No.
Luma
04:43:41Okay, this is going to be so much fun, and she’ll04:43:43pull out the key and slot it in.
Dungeon Master
04:43:46You pull out the key, you slot it in, you give it a turn.04:43:49You hear the four distinct but simultaneous clicks of four lock tumblers falling into place in the exact same moment.04:43:57You hear another click as some kind of mechanism inside the door is moved.04:44:02And then another click on the left far side of the door and another one on the right.04:44:07And then a series of like…04:44:09clicks and grinding of moving gears as the door begins to roll to the side.04:44:15Um,04:44:19it,04:44:19As it does, there’s like a rush…04:44:21of hot, dry, stagnant, stale air.04:44:25It kind of, like, stinks of…04:44:28copper and sulfur, not sulfur, sorry. Uh, it kind of stinks of copper. Um, and it, it, it is like,04:44:35It’s like 90 degree, like…04:44:38dry summer air.04:44:40rushes over you all. The chamber opens up04:44:45to reveal a large room04:44:48with probably 60 foot high ceilings,04:44:52It is dark in here, so your vision extends only as far as your night vision or the lights you carry, but in your vision you see these massive stone pillars carved. The walls themselves are carved with ancient…04:45:05Sorry, not ancient. That’s not descriptive.04:45:07With these, like, intricate kind of, like,04:45:12very, um,04:45:14Uh, like brutal.04:45:16kind of geometric patterning04:45:19um,04:45:21dark stone floors, dark stone walls, dark stone pillars, um, all around you are, um,04:45:29like,04:45:30Forge equipment, massive stone furnaces and crucibles and…04:45:37workbenches all04:45:40thrown aside, broken, scattered, scattered tools, and everything is covered in scorch marks.04:45:48Um,04:45:51far down, uh,04:45:53over 100 feet away from you all.04:45:56the glow of firelight.04:45:58in the distance, illuminating, peeking out from behind these stone pillars.04:46:05Um,04:46:06And that’s where we’re going to end this session.
