Fleeing Shadows and Secrets

So, A little bit of a recap over the last few episodes.

After breaking out Sid and Red Ryan from the under the barracks,

with the hope that should she retrieve those she'd be able to assist you in repairing the fallen prototype airship. You

which could be a really great asset to the rebellion against the Empire. Here we go. And then. You travel to her shop. up.

She collected a number of very interesting items that she had constructed.

and found that her arm and power source had been put in some sort of caravan of magical items that were being taken to Mont d'Amour.

And so Red knowing a farmhouse at the road would. I'm not sure I'm sure

to the Calloway farm. where they met Dahl and Maren and their two children. who sort of

Hesitantly allowed them to stay in the barn and wait for this caravan. Thank you.

disabled the cannon on top of the cart. slew the guards and Sid retrieved her.

I believe it's night. Is that right Will? It was our early one.

Yeah I'd say it's Night midnight At that point the original idea was they'd clean up and the family would come out in the morning but yeah it's night. So

So it's nighttime. The battle has just ended. Sid you've just retrieved your. I'm going to show you how it works. your arm and your power source and we can start right here. What would you guys to do?

So are there still. bodies on the field here.

There's bodies there are.

So Osborne is is going to carefully make his way down and Just start looting bodies

Yeah the Tiefling Soldier. Sure.

Yeah specifically he's looking for teeth. I don't know.

Yeah anything that might be out of the ordinary. three, compared to

what they're equipped so for soldiers he's looking for maybe not necessarily military type equipment but

something that was non-standard-issue

Sure. Roll an investigation.

Mentos effects. It's

Eleven

You so for all. You four guards. they all have standard issue chainmail shirts.

imperial chainmail shirts and uniforms You They have of the imperial design. I'm going to go ahead and go ahead. which are half helms almost.

They look they were just normal foot soldiers nothing out of the ordinary. They each have short swords. So four short swords and they also have four-

Fort Spears That's sort of their standard issue. In terms of the total amount of gold you found approximately.

All in all about 40 gold pieces amongst all the dead bodies. Thank you.

What is it? In terms of some of the things that you're specifically looking for, Thank you. They all seem to have teeth. I'll see you next time. So you can feel free to yank them free.

from each of the people. Captain Vale is a dragonborn, so he actually has fangs like. Not fangs but yeah I guess fangs basically. Pointy teeth.

One moment, yes uh you yeah they have teeth you notice on the guard that was closest to Hess

He has a lock of blonde hair that's tucked in a little missile almost a set of poems.

and Captain Vale and another guard have are wearing necklaces. but.

made of silver. They appear to be made of silver. And have the star of the light. It's one of the symbols. It's a star.

I'll draw a picture next time and show you it's a signal of the main religion in this part of the world. I don't know what to do.

Otherwise nothing of note was on their corpses. Thank you.

With those necklaces is that a standard issue type of deal or do they appear rare or

more religion check

And while you're doing that sorry you found one other thing on Captain Vale's person. Then, You have a letter. I'm going to go over. from the magistrate

the And 7 With the 7 you kind of. You've seen these around

They're not it's not so rare that you've never seen them before. you've never been a real follower of. religion. You've been more fascinated by nature.

and so you don't know a whole heck of a lot about them. So,

Probably out of- sheer curiosity. than anything else he Oz would- probably pocket one of the necklaces and

Also the horny poems and the hair.

And then you were starting to say about the. I'm going to go.

Sorry and the-

Magistrate letter from left.

I'll get into that in just a second but all the other items I just told you if somebody can either write those down or add them to the party. me. Even to anybody wants to take that would be helpful just so that-

people want those or want to resell them or if they want to just leave them they can do that too it's fine.

Thank you.

It's just hard for me to try.

We can step here.

That's

taking the armor and the helmets. You I just relate here

Lucky for you.

Remember you guys have a bag of holding. You

fuck I forgot about that. So yes that is sweet. Alright no I think that's.

other than the magical kind.

So you sort of. No go ahead there's a seat again.

that's harmonies

Ford.

Wasn't it four of each basically?

Yeah chain mail shirts. Yes. For sure.

Because you guys are doing that Sid tries to put one on and because she's a gnome it just goes down here. Thank you. But I can't see anything!

Red above Malkop.

Y-you- Ozzy you do wander upon in the lapel. So. a letter that seems blood-soaked now that Captain Vale has been killed.

and you pull it out and you inspect it and it's it's a letter You Seemingly from the- Magistrate written to some commander. I don't know.

in Monto Amor.

It sort of it lists out from his perspective that that's. it writes about the capture of red Ryan and Cid, I don't know.

And how and it mentioned something about an informants. Thank you.

led them to these this meeting. And that's

Magical items from Cid's laboratory were to be brought to Montaamore as soon as possible by order of the Viscount and the Viscountess.

who were basically the leaders of that city-state.

and it's signed and sealed by Magistrate Forneval.

He was the douchebag that we ran into earlier right?

He's the well roll a history check. Thank you.

So look you're not really from around the city-state so you don't know all the politics but you do know that the local magistrate is essentially the leader

politician or person that controls Voss and affordable is basically that- I'll see you next time.

And he rules it by leave of the local or the Viscount or Viscountess that runs the. You The city-states and all the city-states make up essentially the empire. I don't know.

He's the puppet master that kind of just We'll see you next time. of strange.

Yes yes.

towards all of you. and you see him yelling what have you done Let's do it again.

I kind of roll up to the- kid and trying in my best friend company Thank you. Hey KidHuge Shutting the bean with your pants?

No this is the dad. I think Doll is the dad right? You

Let me try and remember my own notes. So.

I am 100% sure when I looked at your NPCs.

Anyway it's the dad. Yeah double cut come.

Sir you're you're dolled. All right. Yes. Sorry. I got my stuff back!

Yes but,

What the Empire will be here though so Do think we helps you.

Don't you have some friends that can get rid of this? I mean we can get rid of some of the stuff get rid of the guards bring them to the woods but I'm pretty sure. over there can get rid of some of the stuff maybe.

Red walks up. She's actually holding the letter. Here we go. Oz just found and her face goes pale and she says Because. an informants

And she looks at Dull and at UCEDD and she goes, But yes we should clean up this mess.

their bodies in the Thank you. I will take it I'm going to get started. We did into the forest. Dump it somewhere.

We can give you guys a hand.

We'll help. We made the mess we'll help clean it up.

understand your concern.

We apologize again for any inconvenience and we want to extend our sincerest thanks in assisting us

Again we will do everything in our power. Make sure that this starts and ends here.

sort of back zone.

As he's doing that I'd look at uh I find a

stick and i would to in use my infuse item capability now that i have my full pack and all of a sudden the stick

kind of lights up and it's just a metagame think of it a light stick that you can wave around and I see

the kiddos I think they might this and I hand it to Dahl. I'm sorry.

Dahl sort of takes it and his face just looks confused and he goes is You've brought this into my home. throws it on the ground and he goes Thank you.

Leave here. Don't come back. And he sort of storms back into his house and closes the door and you hear a big board come down as if he's locking the house.

What I'd you guys to do is roll. Maybe everybody roll a. Athletics check.

I don't know Let's just do that.

Natural 20.

you put the bodies inside of the caravan I'm going to go ahead and do it. You spend time. And then. making sure that you've picked up everything of note and put it in there.

I'd you to also all roll a collective sleight of hands check too to see about cleaning things up.

another natural Okay very well.

I'd trip over everything. I know.

You all clean up as best you can at midnight in the dark. I don't know. The Blood from the six people you murdered.

And you package everything up. AND I THINK IT'S A Red very quickly hops on and. of takes the reins of the aurochs. We'll see you next time. And says,

I will find you all. to see to my people.

And she just with that she doesn't give you any instructions she just takes off very quickly with the caravan headed straight towards Mont d'Amor down the same road.

and she disappears you hear the- sort of the wagons churn and then sort of silence after that.

cal just well welcome eric just eric we're at the farm you have not missed anything other than the group had

to a of an imperial commander in Mont d'Amour basically saying.

There was an informant. was the reason that they were able to capture Red Ryan. Thank you. Which spooked Red Ryan that there's some sort of somebody that's.

a rat in the organization or in the rebels. And that the instructions were to take all of Sid's magical items to the Viscountess.

of Montaimor. work. And now Red Ryan is is. needs to go to her and basically make sure that they're okay.

Okay so she's now taking the wagon away and you guys are left the Callaway farm. You're locked out of the farmhouse.

What Snoots is has disappeared you have no idea where Snoots went. Thank you.

Hey guys wait. It's that little. The guy that threw the bomb So let's go.

Does anyone else think it's suspicious? Just there was. This letter about an informant.

Metapoint I put Smoots in just for fun.

hm-hm.

Well I mean for that matter. Does one think it's weird that. There was the informant and then Ryan just disappeared.

It doesn't mix.

Is it weird?

Is Ryan the informant? Are you the informant? Who's the informant? The Spider-Man meme. Yeah.

We expect the caravan.

yeah guys all i remember is that i you know i was selling ryan some of the stuff Yes. no idea if the Rebels were never in all of a sudden. Someone just had really good timing.

How did you get in touch with Ren again?

As I'm about the hand of stuff they're hey. Thank you.

Do you guys go way back or is this a new relationship?

no I didn't. I didn't meet her until a week or two before she bought the stuff.

I don't know.

Thank you. just diary you know i was at my shop she came in saying hey i need some stuff off. I started talking and then I sold it to her.

So I think this not necessarily an inside job but someone that one of us knows definitely is definitely a lot of business. to the Empire.

I just want to point out that when we found red. she wasn't Doing well.

was a little gnarled up. I mean,

Yeah guys I got lucky. They just took my power back. They beat the shit outta red.

I'm going to go.

Thank you.

Yeah if she was in on it She was. She was really in her cards pretty close to the chest.

I'll see you next time.

was she going into that secret room? Would Sid have seen her going into that secret room that we would Sid have seen her going into that secret room that we

so so a couple yes sid would have definitely seen being taken by the guards and the Inquisitor. I'm not sure. and his two apprentices into that torture room.

Sid would have heard I don't know. horrendous screaming and yelling coming from it. Okay. Then her body being dragged out Thank you. bloodied beaten and naked and full of cuts And put into the cell.

Furthermore if you recall Bucky had a almost a vision. Someone getting interrogated that looked just her. Thank you.

when the Inquisitor was using its magical powers to be able to look into her mind. Thank you. so All evidence points that way but you never know. You can do it.

Yeah I mean there's a lot of people that seem to be on the.

what we presume to be the good side of this. I'm sorry. So, I think let's just be cautious let's let's let people show us who they are. Thank you.

As you say that, sort of wanders over to you and he's still kind of chewing some grass. I just- kind of just Thank you.

in the conversation not saying anything but just chewing grass.

go over I'll see you next time. And I pat him on the head Ha ha.

Is he still wired with Explosive?

You're good.

I'll see you next time.

He was never wired with explosives.

It was just. Okay.

Could you say that louder? I couldn't hear you John.

Did we inspect the caravan cars and whatever magical items are inside of them?

You did not.

Hey hey guys there's still some stuff in the back. I just got my power pack but there's some papers. f***ing And a bunch of stuff maybe some copper we can- Sal I know a guy.

I'm

third I mean we should look at all of them

It took all the cards.

The whole caravan.

The idea is that you put the bodies in it. And She's going to take it somewhere and basically dump it as if and make it look somebody

A train station

You you know ambush them on the road further down or something that.

then keep rolling with the cart

Dump the bodies and keep rolling with the car.

se hisk

I'll see you next time.

Hey guys it's still dark out. Why don't we go back into the farmhouse maybe? Get some rest check out. Here we go. With Red God I think we're going to want to make our way out of here. welcomed or not

I got the sense that that farmhouse is no longer. Welcome habitat

Are we going hiking? End.

Yeah I mean where are we going guys? I mean.

Where are we going?

You kind of led us into this.

to make yourself whole cool. really So,

We've got a lot going on. We've got to check back on UConn. you know,

we want to see where if we go to montemore we could kind of go there with the

what are their names? thimbal roots? what are there?

Batch Roots

patch roots the thatch roots are making their way over to more want to more i know guys what's Thank you. What's motivating you?

At this point I think we just got. We kind of got to get to centralize ourselves figure out our next steps. So you know hopefully we'll hear back from Sid once she finds out more. But I think at this point.

i kind of look around to them and be i'm still kind of new to you guys so where do you need to go Here we go.

Does anyone remember what the next steps were with gear whistle on the airship?

because that's something Ding.

I don't know if this is

Wait wait you guys have an airship?

I don't know if this is canon.

I can. Airships.

So

Wait I don't know if this is canon or not but can I address this with Sid? I don't know if we've addressed this yet. Sid when we first met you.

I believe you said the name Gearwhistle as if you had met Gearwhistle before.

I seem to recall that also.

Was that just. Going out. or is there a legitimacy to that?

I've worked with him before if I've heard of him. You know I'm not as good as the airships with him but I've worked with him on some of the power source and engineering ideas before.

said you You knew. someone that was Part of the Thieves Let's get started. guild

And you talk to them about what? Thank you.

So the way that Sid. I actually got go ahead I said you can. Then, Answer how it would be

Yeah I mean I really didn't know it was a thieves guild. I just.

hmm.

Yeah I can definitely help you with that. Here we go.

Would it surprise you to know that we also know? Thank you. gear whistle

How do you guys know? I don't say no air shit.

What do you mean it's not functional?

So we were supposed to meet up with Thank you. Benjamin Button And he was going to give us some. insight on

What could potentially help our. Our flying situation but we found him amongst other circumstances.

So. I don't want to call a problem. Thank you. I mean you met him. He's he's our guy he's our new And.

or Nomi

Wait I thought I was your gnomie.

That's not true. yeah i guess you guys maybe i'm not going to assume that you all know each other though or gnome each other All right. It would be weird.

I'm going to. I'm going to roll a quick attack and just zap him and be we don't all know each other. One more.

I said I didn't assume.

Roll for it now.

The Royal King

That's the speciesist man.

I mean I specifically was saying that I don't assume that you all know each other. Thank you very much.

You have to roll for attack.

I mean we're all thinking it but you can't just come out and say it. That's They have to say it first and then you can join in. After you've had a couple drinks and it's cool but

This 15 hit.

Roll for damage.

Sid zaps you for 2 electrical damage. as a little

to the nukes

a little zinger

No I'm not.

How shit am I doing compressions?

I'm down.

I'll see you next time.

Just saves!

when we saved you

Wait so what happened to him? Where is he?

He was the last person that was at eye level with you when we. Thank you. before you came on this adventure!

Can we go back to where he was? Let's do this. Now that I got my stuff maybe I can fix that area. I'm going to use the chip chip for him.

Sure but we also got to go back and check on UConn. We make our way.

Hey who's UConn?

Wait is he a dentist?

I don't think I got him. he knows one.

You were on.

now it says buddy

Not last life.

Just meta points because Eric I think you missed this. I was rewinding to let everybody know the context of what was going on.

You guys had all set off from the scholar's crumb with Benjamin Bell there with you telling you to go help Sid get her. arm and power source that you could fix the airship. Thank you.

And because it was he was it'd be a really good asset to have for the. The Rebels. so That's what-

I'm not saying that you have to go back there but just FYI the Scholar's crumb is that you know In and bakery In was? Okay.

So the intention is from our outset. we were going to return

so that Sid can help fix the ship. And then Sid agreed.

Ben basically made a deal with Benjamin to say if you help me go get my power source in my arm I will lend a hand so to speak. F*** for you know fixing the airship.

She's super interested in airships. And then you guys had mentioned. gear whistle and i'll fill in the background that where sid had met gear whistle was was Gear Whistle when he was younger.

snoop around the wizardry school of which Sid would often go to share information or learn

information or use the library for some of her research. And she would always see this young, crippled.

kenku sort of snooping around trying to get in and like he would always be there because Cause you're so fascinated by.

You know artificer you know magic etc. He was never permitted to be in there but she being so kindly spoke with him and they sort of hit it off a little bit and she.

I understood that he was really talented from a- So they were or passing acquaintances.

Yeah I mean I kind of owe you guys that we are talking to them. Yeah. That bird folk? I mean. You guys held up your side of the bargain. Time for me to hold up mine. I'm going to get my hand on some more toys.

Let's go.

He loves it. It's his way of expressing love. He just gives these little nuggets to people. He's done it his entire life. And.

It's so interesting to see.

I know you did that. That's cool.

yeah it's awesome keel and i were talking about really cool that's so cute And then we'll see you next time.

Just picking this up again so you guys came out of the clearing you noticed that there's a sort of at the I'll see you next time. at the top of the hill as it descends down into the town.

You also notice

In the distance if you recall on sort of the far side of the city and the lake there is a very small chapel or a very small church. Thank you. a very large graveyard around it.

In the middle of this. A large graveyard is a massive and I say massive, Airship one that you have never seen before ever.

You've seen some of the airships of the empire and particularly the city-state of Montemore that would travel over the Cradlewood Forest and deliver agricultural products to Vichy which would then –

And ship them around everyone's the world. You've seen those and they're these big lumbering airships that are purely meant for carrying.

this looks something else it almost looks something for war and and think about it's probably you

almost the size of a football field that size. ends There are.

The Imperial troops sort of stationed around the perimeter of that airship. Here we go. And not just these dumpy guards that you've interacted with. These are some

Special foot soldiers This is a production of the U. S. Department of Education.

men at arms. Thank you. soldiers and legionnaires these are well equipped Yes. troops that are meant for war. I'm going to show you how it works.

This is not the foot patrol. These are soldiers. I don't know if I'm going to

That's right. These are soldiers. That's right. Go ahead Cal.

based off of my reading of the imperial war manual While I get any insight into this particular.

airship and what it might be what its purpose might be. All right.

And it mentions this type of class of. So let's go. Airship which is a cruiser type uh class

It's meant for as far as you can tell transporting. 1. Shroops

It has some armor mints on it. It's not necessarily a battle. shit meant to blow shit up it's I'll see you next time. It's more of a troop carrier but it's definitely designed for war. You

what does she know about it just from seeing it Okay.

Roll a Arcana check with advantage. There's.

I'm 21.

can tell that it seems something that's more advanced than she's ever encountered in terms of Some of the technology that appears to be on it just from a distance seems something different than you've ever encountered.

Yeah I think that's one of the I've seen those before I think that's one of the cruisers but you know, They've done something to it. I don't know what it is but

You see that airfoil? There's usually only one of those. They have three of those. Some of their engine are placed where it's They've done something to this. Is this that airship you guys were talking about? Let's go.

no bro. Ours is Mars is pretty sleek It's not very big.

Pirates exercise.

I how you say that.

Yeah the.

and look at those soldiers All right. This is in some normal

No no.

patrol They're caring up for an invasion.

you know

Thank you.

Sid you've been here for a while.

We're all new here.

Mike?

You can do it again. Sid you have never seen an airship land in Voss before ever. or heard about one landing gear.

toy or something for a kid you know I kind of needed a step back from my normal airship engineering. So I've seen them but this is new to Voss. This is not normal.

I don't know maybe Benji. knows if there's any history of this but something to look out for hopefully there's not increased presence Let's see.

Well I mean we did break out of jail so I don't think they forgot about that.

WE did not break out of jail.

I did.

So the people in front of you. You So now that the people that are in front of you are up in front of the guards. Here we go.

And Sid just runs to the side.

I don't want water.

I don't know. You just see the after image of Wile E. Coyote Sid just be fuck. We'll be right back. Just running off to the side.

Dehesita what do we do about this? Thank you.

the SIB would be instantly recognized if you trained it.

it appears as such

Hold on. So you're on a hill. You're not even in the town yet. You're on a hill. The road sort of descends. It's sort of in this picture.

so I thought we were gatehouse. Okay.

They see this as Sid do you know of any other entrances? Thank you.

Sorry what did you say Dave Sita? Here we go.

They see that says Sid do you know of any other entrances into the city? All right.

I got it. I came in three.

c'est d'y non? Thank you. Yeah you would know that Okay. The forest sort of surrounds the city so theoretically you could enter at any point. This is just the natural road that enters the city.

That being said as you scan the horizon you see. Our guards posted sort of at intervals around the city watching people enter and exit and questioning people that do so. So.

it may not be the natural exit but they're it's they're kind of I'm going to take a look at it. Looking around see I mean I kind of just walked in on one of the normal trade paths not this one but. Thank you.

They look over there they got cards everywhere.

I mean and my invisibility spell that that ran out. You're welcome.

kind of you know undercover Over. As I start to put a mustache in. Or are we.

Sid it's probably easier for one person to get in than eight people to get in at the same time unless you can disguise yourself. Thank you.

If you know of another way to get in maybe you can meet back up with us back at the Scholars.

Yeah I mean I can I'm pretty stealthy. Ooh I could try and find my way through one of the forest routes. Let's go.

Maybe some inspiration.

i didn't realize zindal was with us

Zindal is with you. Yeah he doesn't really have any invisibility or.

Yeah he just can do um,

I'm sorry.

Here we go. I don't know why it became I'll see you next time. if i said good luck and i just cast a dumb And then.

So how many of us know these two? Deocita recognizes them. Oz recognizes them.

It was from the inn so it would have been.

And that is a

I'm a crime person.

Meets it beats it.

Well that's not good.

Well, Quick recap quick recaps as you just joined and yes your goddamn Knicks just beat the Sixers and I hate you very much

So quick recap. Immediately after the- So there was the the party had set a trap for the caravan that was going through this farm. Killed everybody last session all the guards.

Here we go. They got Cid her arm and power source back. So Zeki was there but sort of in the background. ground.

the party red ryan took the the and put all the dead bodies in it and went away to go hide the bodies. Please.

So as to not implicate the people that own the farm or anything that. Then the party decided to travel back to Voss to go report in with Benjamin Bell. Then.

they Along the route Oz. I noticed that there was a stag that was keeping its distance from the party sort of watching them.

And he tried to communicate with it and all and it seemed a positive interaction but he didn't really get anything. Thank you.

Any words from?

and Voss is locked down there's guards right now that are watching the entrances and stopping people from entering. The party got in line to be We'll be right back.

to find their- to try to get into the city and then realize I'll see you next time. Right before they were about to meet the guards that Sid is. Wanted

So Sid slowly backed her way into the woods but the two guards that were interviewing people the two guards that were interviewing people and the guards that were interviewing people they were interviewing her do it

Now Oz recognized the guards the two same guards that you guys interacted with when you were in the Eagle and Child League. in the very first.

Basically basically. there's an old guy and there's a young guy. You And then Oz just decided to cast Charm on the old guy. miserably

Not miserably.

are you using

That's not permitted.

fuck shit.

How far are we from. a greater population

You are. about 200 yards from the actual town.

there's a party of people that are walking that were in front of you a couple of farmers that they had interviewed that are walking down towards the town. It's just the two guards right in front of you.

Is everybody rolling initiative?

Everybody's Rollin' Initiative.

Everybody's rolling initiative.

Ooh what a.

Just a word of warning. A word of warning with- you guys keep killing all of my mbz's by the way but a word of warning- I'll see you next time. When you cast Charm Person on somebody they know you cast it on them Thank you.

Just so you know

I was- I was- Hoping to succeed clearly. But

I don't know I don't

No I'm just saying you know that you risk not succeeding which is fine.

Yeah that's true.

And then

This went differently in my mind.

the plan

And.

So Mike Sid's still in the forest though. He's not in line right? All right.

Nah. shit balls fuck

But roll your initiatives people. I'm going to go.

get it 15

Eric is it raining out?

Cal what did you get there?

It wasn't this rain.

Okay brother.

I got an 18.

Let me just get a map.

engage in fulsome combat with the Imperials but you know here we are. you

It was charming combat.

hmm.

Charmant as they say.

As my friend would say,

that is exactly

Hey guys sorry. The kids have failed their saving throws against sleep and are now presently unconscious for the moment. I'm going to put it in a little bit. Of course the wife is. I just didn't pass.

Par for the course my friends par for the course. I'll see you next time.

All right we're going to put some guys we're going to put you in the way of the

Whatever you do don't fail a charm save against her. Thank you.

because i don't know if you know this but if You're welcome. If you charm someone they know it. I just imagine Osborne and right up to the garden being an icon.

Which reminds me, When we ended the last. That one guard had hopped up into the building and was face to face with Hess. Have we resolved that?

Come again?

That was Ember Zone.

When we ended.

Yeah yeah that guard was killed. You know it's funny you ask that because I asked the same thing how did that last guard die? And no one answered me.

well it I can tell you.

there you go.

went across Hess's face. And then a slight wince as he said you know I hate to kill you because this isn't really your fault. And then because the last Witch Bolt that he'd cast at that You their head

The guard then took 1d12. You from Hesse's bonus action. before taking Well then the question is if there's no attack of opportunity incurred from.

a spell or range from Melee Range, Then he ate a magic missile. There is an attack of opportunity.

Then instead he would have taken another 1D. It's or plus one or whatever a dagger does. Let's get started. and hopefully 1d4 plus 1 plus.

nd 12. But

If not it could have gotten real interesting. The next round.

Yeah. All right so Hess I need you to roll a- I'm sorry. initiative and

Sid can you roll a initiative for- Zindal as well.

In any case Jean is the first. Go here He is going to

brandish his spear and he is going to make an attack on Osborne. Turn.

You did you guys chose not to rest other than a short rest which is not going to help you. Here we go.

you have a little face.

Two hours.

I heard two and four which is it's. Two hours alright.

18

and Zindal Road 19

You were also just on horseback for. a couple of hours

Yeah but I don't think that's a short rest. Just.

If you're on horseback right?

You know what I don't think it can account for a long rest.

So Jean yells to Etienne and he goes Etienne. done Get help I'll hold them off And he's gonna take he takes his spear and attacks Osborne with it. Thank you.

And it is a crit. This is the first one.

and he does

wrong button He does 8 piercing damage as the spear embeds itself in your shoulder. Thank you.

He is done his turn. Etienne is going to use his turn. I'm going to show you how to do it. to sprint down the slope. This way. Five.

10 15 20 25 30.

the town.

Yelling ALARM!

You said 200 feet away from the town? Thank you.

So he's almost halfway there.

It is Sid's turn followed by Oz followed by Hess followed by Zindel. You can do it.

news Zoom out. Wait why am I so Zen. There we go. So Sid's gonna hear it be Thank you. What is happening?

And I'm gonna walk to the edge of the woods

Sorry here.

And Jean is the one that's running away. Okay.

No it is Etienne.

And where is Etienne? that Artige is gone.

he is much gone

God you just here. Come on guys. Let's see. And Cid just casts Magic Missile at Jeanne. I'm going to go ahead.

Very well. Is that an auto hit? I can't remember. I can it.

You just roll for damage.

Roll for damage.

Voices in range.

six damage your missiles blow like blow up in his face um,

He looks extremely damaged but he looks determined and grit to his hands are shaking a little bit he's scared but he's he's he

As he sort of looks back for Etienne.

We're sorry. We're sorry. We're just trying to make it a- Guys stop fighting everyone!

Better game can you stop initiative if you can convince the NPC to not fight? We'll be right back.

Initiative is fighting is when things are hostile. You

is in combat

is when you have this roll the turn based Let's go.

And I remind you said sorry shot magic missiles at this guy.

Just trying to get in.

but

Who just shot the magic missus? Who just saw them? That was you. The guy that just said let's not fight.

We're just trying to make it in. Sorry I had to do that.

Someone heal him and let's get away. We'll be right back. I don't need to kill anyone.

if you want to use it.

followed by Hess followed by Zindel followed by Cal. All right.

I need a range on ATN.

Approximate.

He's about 60 feet away 65 feet away from you. And then we'll see you next time.

I wish I knew he was that close I would have I'll see you next time.

To cast Entangle.

Basically, maybe 10 feet ahead of where We'll be right back. in the direction which Ken is currently sprinting.

What do I roll there?

that's a strength save I'll see you next time.

and

What does 13 do for me?

It's a 15 you gotta do a 15 you gotta do a 15 you gotta 15 you gotta 15 you gotta 15 to succeed so.

Each creature other than you in the area when you cast a spell must succeed on strength saving throw or have the restrained condition until the spell ends.

restrained creature can take an action to make strength check against the spell save dc on success by the grasping plants is no longer restrained by them. I'm sorry.

so it is a grasping plant sprout from the ground in a 20 foot square within range. In the duration of these plants turn the ground into an area into difficult terrain.

So it's. Concentration up to 1 minute.

the vines Yeah the vines entangle Etienne's legs as he's running and he's stuck he's pulling himself and he's screaming help,

Can I bonus action make one of the vines go into his mouth?

Would you to do anything else? odds.

That's it.

That sounds awesome but I don't think that that spell works that way. Here we go.

That's the Japanese version of the spell.

Okay for- Yes for Spice there's a little tentacle

I don't know.

You and at the end maybe one from below

What about it?

Thank you. So there's a little.

La la I don't know.

Yeah there's a little.

that's all that. yeah

RIOT

He is Very close probably 20 feet

He has scorch marks on his Shoulders and chest from the magic missiles that Sid sent to him before saying we shouldn't fight! Okay.

The other guy is 65 feet away from me he said or? I don't know. Is he less far away from me than he was from someone else?

All right.

Thank you.

He's a little further so he's 70 feet away from you. Here we go.

70 feet away from me. Well shoot.

Gosh you guys. I believe they Leave me between a rock and a hard place

What would Hess do? What would Hess?

No.

and usually it has to be The initiative is so low that the rest of the party has already killed literally everybody and ass before he gets an action

Don't worry at this rate you're going to have plenty of It's good. You guys a fight.

Yeah yeah I can.

I mean the trouble is that other people have already seen it. fight though so at this point i'm guys we should probably leave Thank you. Great up run away because we should have gotten a long rest before we left the last location.

We should have beat feet into the jaw into the bush. hidden ourselves in the forest and rested but we didn't so all i've got is arcane recovery got me one And spell slot back of the second level.

Fuck it. Let's try and cast.

I'm hearing a lot of no's I'm hearing a lot of no's right now. You

Do you think Etienne is close enough to the wall that people would have heard him?

Yeah you're pretty sure that people would have heard him screaming as he's running down the hill. In terror yeah probably We'll be right back.

man.

Yeah who's Thank you. So does Hess recognize who's higher rank?

Etienne or Jeanne.

He's not even 18 he's probably 16 years old.

I'm going to cast. charm person on John

Most times.

you know he's his own his charms Thank you.

Right.

As you tell Jean sort of his shaking hands his hands that are shaking.

Jean is friendly to me now.

You thought from fear but it's probably just being old he's got the shakes

they were at the bar and then I think Oz got them a drink. So you know this person. Thank you.

Yeah Oz was drinking with you guys were basically drinking with Jean and Etienne at the bar you

Okay good. In that case then.

I'm sorry it's all a big mistake. These guys didn't mean it. You They didn't recognize you. let me fix your stuff let's heal up

So Jean sort of lowers his sphere and just stares at you and he goes

What's going on here? And now we're going to get started. Theon however is still 65 feet away from you screaming his face off in terror. Here we go.

So I'm going to say combat's still going on but you've successfully charged him at home. So

He had just not with me. Let me double check and see how long it lasts. So let's go.

Whose turn is it?

It is well it still has and then it's Zindalcal de Deocita. Here we go.

Okay. So my actions are really are just either to move or continue talking with John. We'll be right back. I suppose I could move

And shout and continue shouting to Etienne Etienne WAIT! Now. We've drank together it's all a big mistake come back! Thank you.

You can roll a persuasion check. at disadvantage.

He seems to still be flailing. Then.

Well now I can just hope that. John And get at the end back here. we can We can settle this.

Zendel's up followed by Kal followed by Deocita.

Mounting the horse counts as an action right?

let me look up look that up what would you to do You

on the horse and just go as We'll see you next time. as fast as I can as far as I can to Etienne. Thank you. And I want to try and cast command halt. I don't know.

It just caught. just cause a half of your speed Okay. So you'd have 15 feet of movement left.

And how far away is he at this point? All right.

He is 65 feet away from you. So,

And what's the speed of the horse?

Speed to the horse.

African or European?

Hehehehehe

Well done. Well done there. 60 feet. So we'll say you get 30 feet of riding.

Of him.

So I have to. It's Spelling to him a free action.

Alright so I'm going to yell to him. Chill bro. This isn't what you think it is. But unfortunately I need to.

I try to topple him. So I'm going to throw. The trident

Isn't he entangled?

Thank you very much. So is he entangled?

he is entangled.

Yeah Scott entangled him or sorry. Yeah. Oz entangled him. I'll see you next time.

We just need to persuade him to stop yelling.

I was trying to do it with tentacles but Good. Lee's not into that shit.

In that case I'm going to get right up there in front of him. I'm sorry. And in fact I probably don't even need to use. Thank you.

the spell slot then if i could just sprint the 60 to get there to the dash i'm sorry i didn't

I have a real touch.

Then I will stand behind him and I will say Etienne.

You do not understand this situation. And I am very sorry that you've got some gnarly weeds crawling up into your maw. All right.

And we mean you no harm. We're cool bro. And your boy Good too.

Roll a persuasion check at disadvantage.

He goes fuck you.

Alright

And he's really he pulls up his. Because. And he's shaking but this is clearly from being scared.

All right so I've used my action. And my bonus action already now.

No I've used my action. I haven't used my bonus action. When you do a dash,

It uses your action.

the action The action is your dash so I still have a bonus action.

You still have a bonus action yeah? I'm sorry.

I'd to use that to stab him. I don't know.

I cast 9th level Firebolt. It's good.

Tidal wave.

I need to love that.

All right well. I'll just I mean I don't have much to do I'll just say.

If I have a.

followed by Zeki followed by me.

Does he know?

Okay yeah very well.

What you doing? Did you see the paladin and good guy? Okay.

and possibly kill him.

John was in charge.

imperial Hold. coming our way now.

would be judging us.

Possibly.

We need a really good cover story.

and somehow to Entangle go away. before they get there.

We just pile some dirt on top of it.

I guess the benefit of killing him would be.

Thank you.

Can we describe what we look?

Everyone else is still right next to us.

Ignore the man behind the curtain.

And I'm how far away from him?

Frenin or Etienne?

Etienne you're about 65 feet away from him. Thank you.

Jean is 10.

and how far away would with the There are I'm going to go over.

roll perception check

You see about eight guards. Let's do this. in all Four coming from the general north area.

And another four coming from the Southwest area. I'll see you next time. Actually you can't see what I'm pointing at right here. You can see about four of them coming from up here.

And then four of them down at the actual- town that are further away a whole host of them coming up that road. I'm going to go ahead.

Thank you. And how far away distance-wise do you sit? You

Those guards will the guards that are in the north Worth?

in the southwest were posted and at other entrances to the city so they're a lot closer. So in the next turn they're going to appear on the map. I'll see you next time.

The ones that are coming from the town probably need another turn. to get close enough to you. but they're sprinting fast.

Did they see any magic?

Well It's hard for me to tell you it's hard for you to know. So let's go.

they would be able to reach.

Cal on the next door.

You think the people that are coming from the town It might take them a couple. So. of you know 30 seconds to get there. I don't know. Everybody that's that's.

The other people on either flank of you are going to be here in the next turn basically. Thank you.

We should probably flee.

we've got

We tell Jean to tell them that Etienne freaked out over a bear. Some sort of an errant angry druid that has entangle on him. And. And then we fucking run away.

I don't often agree with that. tail and run but

said is do it

This shit is pretty fucked.

I don't know.

man.

It's pretty hot right now

Can I give that direction to John?

only you scott because he

No I mean.

I mean I think He's friendly to Thank you. and

Attack the char the charmed the person that charmed them I'm going to show you how it works. And the Charmer has an advantage on ability checks to interact with him socially. Thank you.

But it doesn't mean that you can command him and tell him what to do. So you can try i mean

So I would have advantage on

So that's right.

Suede Regular

That's right. You could persuade him and you know. Do something yeah.

us some time. That's what we need at this point in this time. This was a great misunderstanding.

here's a good berry Sorry for your troubles.

we will we'll catch up again hey bad day i get it happens to everyone I'm going to show you how to do it. It was a good berry.

Next beer is on me.

equivalent of that essentially.

We've all been there man. No worries.

We fall fail charm.

fuck who hasn't right Mondays

just debating

It's fucking Mondays in the Empire man. Let's go.

Between the bear story or did we say

Etienne

They ran away but they dropped some gold or something that. Thank you. the guards have some something to distract them. monetary incentive to Here we go.

I do not want to look at it any further

stick kind of close to the truth there there wasn't there's actually no evidence whatsoever It's just all on Jeanne's reaction. I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you. on the failed save so

So. In a court of law it's a he said she said type of situation. now we would lose that probably because we're at

I'm assuming the Empire would have advantage but. ain't gonna be no court of law in this situation so.

Yeah there's that Inquisitor guy Etienne is definitely not going to be on our side and Jean. may not be on our side.

so maybe a little bit of gold

to bird law.

a bit of gold and Maybe a story about the stag that we saw. Well. There's known to be a stag. in these woods

That's probably more likely than the bear story but.

Quite honestly a grave misunderstanding.

Hey Asita it's on you man. What are you doing? Followed by Zeki. E. Bye bye. The Imperials

figure out how much gold i had 24 little pieces This is.

And there are 12 guards approaching from different directions.

And

All right so I am going to.

will match whatever you put down.

I'm going to tell so

I know this is very confusing to you right now. What actually happened was There was a great stag that spooked and scared. I'm going to take a look at this.

he's young and impressionable and that hard room for battle.

It seems that he hallucinated and thought that he saw.

something else but that that is what it was This is

and the stag disappeared.

that you I love you.

or in possession of them.

I believe that So

It may be best.

Roll Deception check.

john takes the coins and looks at them and looks at you and says Because.

I don't understand. and he sort of looks to Hess. As if do you understand what's going on? Thank you.

Sid yells,

Thank you.

D. C. Would you to do anything else? I'll see you next time.

mount my horse.

very well you mount you daisy that jumps onto his horse You Rears up Zeki you are up followed by the Imperials followed by Cid. it.

They're sprinting with their spears leveled towards you. Thank you. I don't think they – they don't necessarily know – they haven't figured out what's going on. But they do have

looking at Etienne who is. Screaming his face off Yeah. Running away from you guys entangled in a bunch of magical vines. And we're going to make sure that we're going to make And they see.

with his his spear sort of Okay. lowered Those are very confusing. Seen for them but they seem to be

He you know, And ready to fight.

Alright how far is Etienne for me? Okay.

Alright I get on my horse And it cast 2nd level silence on NTN.

Okay what do I do? What do I roll for that song?

You roll nothing. It's done.

it's autumn.

He can't say,

Wow

Thank you. Anything he's deafened and he's deafened for 10 minutes.

Okay.

And now we're going to get started.

Wow. All right. So you hear him go

And he's looking around what the hell's going on? I don't know. You have 30 feet of movement via horse left if you want to use it. Thank you.

Via horse why not via duck?

I take I take my horse and do my best to conceal myself behind the tree to the north. Thank you.

Actually to the right of Sid over where she is. Let's get started.

Yeah somewhere over there.

Perfect. All right. All right my guards are now. In play.

boy.

Are they?

Where are you guys getting these things?

in france

and etian is going to try and make a strength save you throw it a rip all out of the And. Entitlements what does a 16 do for me? I'm going to show you.

Alright you see him rip off in terror the vines and he's still freaking out. He is going to continue to run another.

He's now out of the battle he's run down the and he passes four additional guards that are running up towards you.

No bother.

So Etienne has escaped the battle scene. And now we're going to get started.

It's less than an hour.

Okay so Jean is just going to look at everybody kind of stupidly and it is now. Thank you. Sid followed by Oz followed by Hash followed by Zindel.

Sid you're up.

So guys what do you want to do?

oh

my God.

I say to Zaki, Ha.

Zeki you can respond. It's fine. I'll allow it.

Wait let's sit over there. Is that who you are now? Thank you.

Sid's right here. Zachy's right here.

Seb what do you want him to do?

Well there we go away.

They think we're in trouble.

What are we doing?

It's Sid's move right?

Sid's move Sid.

I mean we're going to be fucked when eight guard captains get here. so.

Oz is up for more Bibles.

I think we just did a leave.

They're awfully rare.

the sand.

They're just normal guards. I just the pictures better than the normal guard picture. Good.

but there are 12 of them coming towards you.

12 Stormtroopers

These are not stormtroopers.

Guys I think we just

These are more the lowest in the lung. You're going to you'll meet some of those at some point but you've not met those yet. Thank you.

Wait are they Are they the green?

's Palace

Of course humans.

They're uh,

but that level of competence.

They're just they're normal dudes that are just I'll see you next time. in a day job.

Well yeah that's why I didn't.

I'm grateful for that.

What are you doing?

what are we doing guys we want to run we want to You

Do what you gotta do man. It's your choice. It's whatever. You your character would do. So.

And Sid just runs the other way.

You might want to

All right so we'll see.

Thank you. on your horse to do that.

Are you going to hop on your horse? I don't know. All right you have 30 feet of movement so I'll say you go five. 10 15 20

and every five feet Thank you. Sorry! Sorry!

Thank you.

Very well Oz you're up followed by Hess followed by Zindel. You can do it.

as well Take the last two remaining good berries. All right.

And then the remaining one will kind of flip it. So let's get started. shoot it with his thumb in the direction of Jean. I'm going to take a look at it.

in a way that in a manner that he could easily catch it and he'll be So I'd I must have mistaken you for someone else

You got a familiar face. anyways so catch on the flip side And it's gonna.

just casually mount the horse give it a gentle spur and turn around and take off at a

fast trot in the direction of SID.

It is now sorry Hess followed by Zindel followed by Kal. Well.

Alright so how much of what type of action is mounting the horse? Let's get started. a movement or sir

In that case then, I will

Jean's armor is a little bit dirty. It shouldn't be scorched. I'm not necessarily from a magic missile but.

If it's dirty. I don't have time for amending. but I have time for a prestidigit.

Hold on. Hold on. I think this is a good opportunity to point out. I don't think you have mending. Because we were. We'll be right back.

earlier in this adventure tonight or this session tonight mending could have come in very handy and we looked at your character sheet and there was no mending there. I'm sorry.

No because I swapped it out. But I could. can do is i can

because they can mend things.

Okay I'm just checking.

Yeah for some reason somebody made a spell called You're welcome. but it's also just a task Ask.

And then as I spurred the horse to ride away say, Jean I'm really sorry about this. This is all a big misunderstanding. I'll buy you a beer and I'll fix your armor when I get back.

But make up whatever you have to say to make this all go away. And start. writing leather in the direction away from I'm going to show you how to do it. the bulk of the guards.

All right we'll put you right there. It is now Sorry that was Zindo followed by Cal followed by Deocita followed by Zeki. We'll be right back.

Just to clarify the 14 gold pieces are. Jean's possession.

Approximately the equivalent of a peasants four months of a peasants life is in his hands right now but go ahead Zindel you're you're good

persuasion,

He's going to be fucked if they don't believe him. They're going to hang him for being a traitor.

Thank you very much. All right Zendel go ahead buddy.

indirectly killed the guy

Zendel just is fuck Thank you. And makes his and goes as close to Jean as he can

Is he going to get on his horse or no? Here we go.

Yeah he wants to get as close to John as possible. All right.

Alright you're right up against Jean and that's all your movement. So

And Zindel casts mending and tries to fix up his gear.

All right. Very well. All out loud. you won't

We're so sorry. And he gives him a few extra gold. And. I wish we could tell you more but we just got to get out of here. And he casts Mending and fixes up his gear.

Jean kind of with this Inquisitive look he looks up and he goes, Because. You shouldn't be using magic. He just takes he takes the gold now he's holding

13 14 pieces of gold from deus c doll whatever you gave him in his other hand and he's looking at both one All right.

this is all wrong but i it question mark Thank you.

Cal you're up buddy. You're in the. You're- you're- you know

Cal's Jon Snow at the Battle of the Bastards.

Yeah exactly. What are you doing there pal? Thank you.

Give me just a general sense of spatial awareness here. the town is to our north

If you kept following Etienne's trajectory you'd go right into the sound. Thank you.

and these guards came directly from the northwest or did they come kind of from a flank Thank you.

Yeah they're all spread around think about like the forest sort of surrounds the town

and guards are post posted all around the forest almost to make sure nobody can enter or exit without being questioned.

And so those four guards on the North eat. East were sort of posted around the there and they all collectively started sprinting towards.

You guys when this fight broke out. You that make sense and then there's a bunch of guards coming actually from the town up the

Okay and they are all- Thank you. Just on foot. There's no horseback people.

That's right.

Okay can I do a quick check just to see if these guys are coming from the forest area is there also a.

knew of guards that are towards the town that are coming my way. Okay.

That's right. There's another at least four or five. There's a whole collection of them that you see running up from the town. and And battles.

Any of them. Any of them on horseback.

None or on horseback no. Horses just as a reminder in this world in this area horses are very rare. You have to have a lot of money to have a horse. We'll be right back.

So it's so it would be notable for if you guys are all on horses it'll be noticeable to them to be

Give Jean my horse

Thank you.

laughter

And is in our art.

Tons of gold which is

Thank you. Unmanned horses back in our group.

No you all have one horse to your name.

No I guess what I'm saying is I didn't have a horse where I am now. Is there a standing horse in where we've been previously?

I'm sorry. That's right next to Jean. Your horse is right next to Jean. In fact let's just see if we can put him there. This might be real interesting.

Yeah I mean, Well if you manage to not die while escaping and John takes your horse and comes with us this could get really interesting.

Unless I mean Zindel would have had a horse as well I guess unless Zindel was sharing one because he's smaller. Okay.

Zindal has his right next to him. Yeah.

All right then I'm just gonna make it easy I'm just gonna dash and mount the horse and get out of there and I will at least linger long enough to make sure that everyone is back.

Well hold on. Dash will get you just to the horse. We'll be right back. You're out of movement now so yeah you're out of movement. 7.

Alright in that case I will get you my horse and.

We'll say hey Regine. and say let's i will look to the rest of the group that's with us and wait let me

Call me sometime John. We'll do lunch sometime.

Yeah I can't do anything else so I will just

Deocita you are up followed by Zekman. in. followed by the Empire.

Entirety of the empire.

All right. So

says to jean

someone very important. nearby who is overseeing some very delicate and virial business. this. encountered This is official.

towing the grounds with his wife. Etienne I panicked not recognizing this person was and

I have smoothed it over.

I am directed not to inquire any further. at risk of at risk of my neck. in the necks of anyone else.

Let's dig into this further. This official has left. I'll see you next time. these funds to Compensate us. 4

or deception jack

That be deception or persuasion.

Deception because you're lying to him. You

and roll it you can roll at disadvantage well it doesn't matter You I'm not going to go. He just looks at you and he's what?

and he looks at the gold in his one hand he looks at the gold in his other hand and he's just he doesn't he's very confused right now. I'm sorry.

i've tried twice they see that will bolt off on the horse Let's do this.

I think we just sent

Very well.

And I think you have 60 right?

All right. For this purpose we'll say you've made it to safety. Zeki you're up followed by the Empire.

Zeki continues riding to the east. Thank you. Hides

Behind the trees over there.

all right we'll say you made it to safety as well done You Empire These guys are all closing in now. We'll say they've closed to this distance. Let's get started.

With their dash. Similarly we'll say they close to this distance with their dash. Yes.

And we will also say that several other guards. now in the battle

And a Drake and a Demogorgon. And.

a couple of demogorgons

an Asmodeist

strike

strike ya

They're time-proof.

There's always time for a fireball.

Yeah it's just.

you guys do notice that the guards from the town appear to be guards they actually appear to be More heavily armoured. I'll see you next time.

And they look they're actual soldiers that are running up. So towards you. let's go with- Sid followed by Oz followed by Hess. Yes.

Say what are you doing?

I can't hear you but I'm.

It's just nope. I'll see you next time. It's just Saki hold on. and just grunts.

Alright Citizen is free. Oz you're up followed by Hess followed by Zindel. You can do it.

is going to take the letter from the magistrate. And

alter where it says informant. Thank you.

is going to make some marks It's. to make it look it may be implicating Jean. done.

is going to And then. alter one or two words in there that would me enough inference that anyone And. Reading that might suspect that.

It was pointing to Jean and then is going to drop the letter. Here we go.

so that it can be found.

roll a sleight of hands check at disadvantage since you're on top of a horse right now. You're welcome.

Yeah.

I'm going to use my Heroic Inspiration I'm going to go ahead and do it.

And I forget what that does.

ndi

I need

It used to be a reroll.

And I can do it. I've rolled right?

reroll you're right. You get to re-roll after you. Low Ones

Okay.

so 17

this then

The way that Heroic Inspiration works is. roll once. If you don't want that roll you get to roll again. But whatever you roll second is what you end up with. Because.

So in your case you rolled a 17 you probably well you could have done whatever you wanted but since you rolled again and got a lower one you got to go with the lower one. You're welcome.

So you try to sketch in Jean's name and you throw it on the grounds. Thank you. And then what would you and I'll give you your movement where do you want to try to leave the battlefield? You

yeah definitely. I'm taking off in the direction. Yeah we'll go to see.

Ahem.

Very well. I'm on the floor.

Hess followed by Zindel followed by Kal. You

Very well. Hes it leaves the battlefield. Let's go with Kow. You Sorry Zindal followed by Cal. Zeno what are you up to?

Ken really sorry man Misunderstanding if I ever meet you again. I owe you beer and I'm. I give him my horse. Let's go.

I'm running.

You're going to run away? You

You're dismounting your horse and.

No. I'm running and I'm galloping away. I'm not going to make you try and DM that Mike.

Be careful what you say to a dungeon master.

Well see I'm just one of his new. Thank you.

I'm here to serve you guys. Yau you're up followed by. everybody's out of the picture so it'll be followed by the Empire. Here we go.

as everyone is collapsing. On top of me I will. Hello everyone. Just say to Gene until we meet again.

I will cast Fireball.

Thank you.

Ha.

I'm the fuck

And run away.

Cal hops on his horse. I'm sorry. And gallops away as Let's go. The guards flood in around Jean.

You all sort of start riding as fast as you can down the road away from the town.

For our purposes we'll be done tonight but I'm going to text you some. And then. Follow-ups after this.

Well actually let me ask you guys how how what where do you guys go from here? You guys are riding really fast away from the town. Where are you trying to go? You're on a road that's headed south.

And I don't know Child in I'm going to go ahead and sort of put Okay. at the cross near the

roads where you could either take it west to monta more or east back to bichy

But that's that's sort of where you are right now.

I feel the only logical place we can go right now is back to the airship but we have to make a roundabout way of getting there.

In a perfect world we would have been able to make our way into town and hang out at the scholar and crumb to relax but we kind of need to make camp in the forest figure out what to do by the airship.

Very well. So for narrative purposes here I'll say you travel down the road maybe a half a year and half a year

Does anybody think that we should follow the thatch roots? Let's get started.

We know that Montemore is not a heavy presence of the Imperial. Thank you.

a free city.

The troops that are in Voss right now are from Monta Amor. We'll be right back.

No I thought when we sent the thatch roots there it was because they wouldn't have as much trouble there. You

No it's because the Thatch said that they have relatives that live there. Here we go.

okay. I'm sorry.

It's so many people that they know yeah.

We have a job. for us in Mont d'Amour right? Thank you.

Well yeah so I missed last week and most of this week. Are there lines of the story that we want to follow? So.

No all you. what you know from two sessions three sessions ago. There were three sessions since Thank you. Let's go three sessions back.

You had just broken out Sid and. Red Rhine from the.

You decided to go help Sid. get her arm and her power source back in order to she agreed if you did that she would help you fix the airship. Here we go.

You went and got her- you had to ambush the caravan to get her arm and power source back which you just did.

And then you guys decided to go back to Vaas to try to meet up with Benjamin Bell again to figure out what the next steps were. But you came into VAS and screwed everything up.

All of my preparation completely out of the way. Thank you.

Completely complete week of preparation while my kids went hungry and now you're running back into the forest basically back into the forest.

So then it does sound the airship makes most sense.

probably logically that's probably makes sense but do whatever you want to do I'll see you next time.

I'm doing internship. at work

the fuss turns down because I think the- I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you. is probably because Thank you. The quiet job to get Red Ryan out ended up being two of the loudest. in town in the last hundred years. It's time.

within the 12 seconds

What did you say Dayacita? Yeah.

We can't fly the airship to any city right? once we repair it

Well we can't fly it to begin with right? it's still we gotta fix it. Well I gotta fix it. Here we go.

either one Once it's repaired

Where do you go?

airborne anywhere near any major city, we can fix it but i don't think we can use it until we have a focused purpose This is. mission that we want to use it on.

Is the airship the Millennium Falcon? Am I picking up on the parallels now?

So we could potentially stop troops from traveling between Mont de Amor and other places. as long as we don't get interdicted by it. Thank you very much for your attention. You know century airships.

Yeah I say we go back to the shit.

They would be larger but they're probably not faster.

Just tell me where you guys are going and then I can fill in some of the rest. Where do you where right now you guys are booking south. So

Down the main road away from Voss. Are you guys staying on the road?

something by fixing it so we may as well do that.

My role here is not to railroad you guys anywhere you do whatever you want and I have storylines that will follow whatever you want to do what your characters are going to do what you want to do what

Where did things leave off with the Thatch roots?

Other than stop- Other than stop- Other than stop- other than stop killing young- other than stop- other than stop- other than stop killing young- other than stop- other than stop killing young- other than stop- other than stop killing young- other than stop killing- other than stop killing- other stop killing- other people

And gorgeous women.

And gorgeous women. I'm yeah who's Edward?

Okay to be fair we actually didn't kill these guys and look what happened. No this is the lesson that you taught us.

I think that we I mean this is just what Cal is. Thank you. As we're shooting out of there.

There are people that are ahead of us that I can vaguely see in our distance. I will message to them. Let's try to lose.

Or I'll do that in character. let's let's ditch the fuzz Taab. we kind of Let's go.

go south for a bit and then we can loop around let's see if we can make our way back to gear whistle Cool.

Sounds good.

going to reply back.

I think we're gonna have to firebomb Voss if we get the airship working You

It's should I not have done that? That's it.

i think we're gonna have to

Loss is overrun.

We'll do what we can to minimize the civilian damage but It's pretty far gone. That's what I learned today I don't know what I'm

so it's not a point

I don't know. I also took away my main takeaway. or anything.

And good berries don't work on all occasions.

They do not. They most certainly do not.

I'm sorry.

You

So so the party at an end of the

They are delicious though.

at a hair-raising speed travels down the road.

At a certain point you veer off into the woods with your horses. the woods begin to get thicker and thicker.

So you have to dismount sort of lead your horses through the woods. At this point it's Probably midday.

You are all very nearing exhaustion because you didn't sleep at all last night because you chose not to do a long rest. Thank you. So,

You have the option to either set up camp or push on towards. I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you. It'll probably take a full day. And If you want to force it to get to. So you have to travel through the night. And.

to the the airship or you can try to make camp. Just tell me which one you want to do and then we can call it a night.

I think we got to make camp so he can just Okay. Some shit and rest I'll see you next time.

We do not want exhaustion.

Does anyone want to make a nature check in terms of trying to set up a camp that is somewhat hidden. amenable to what you need.

I'll make the nature check I'm plus three.

23

All right. Hess says, S tells you guys, I'm going to go ahead and see what happens. You're arguing about where to make Camp S. Thank you.

Indicates a very nice spot and doesn't wait for any permission. Just sits down rests down and falls fast asleep.

You all may camp. I will text you some details either tonight or over the course of the next several days. And yeah the session is over.

who who wants to take first watch I will

Yeah who wants to take first watch?

I will volunteer if needed.

I'll do it.

All right. Why don't you guys both roll perception checks before you quit for the night? That'll help me in my.

All right. Sweet dreams guys.

I really don't end it with that. I don't know.

Yeah.

It's so funny. I always tell my kids that Fortnite I'm Sweet Dreams and they're don't say that dad it's creepy. Anyway alright guys

sounds good i will text you guys thanks for everybody for joining Amen.

You're all awesome.

Adios.

I got to stop the thing. How do I stop the recording?

Make sure you stop it. I wanted to make sure.
