Session 20 - Transcript

00:00 [Mercurio (Gui)] Part of the Navy.
00:02 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, is it actually called a commanded stuff and then we Yeah Interesting search to the session. Well, it says session 20 of phantom chains Would our recapper like to recap
00:22 [Sildir (Tris)] Computer recap Yeah, so we were in session
00:33 [DM (Aarya)] 19
00:35 [Sildir (Tris)] That's right and before that was 18 But at the end of session 18 We we were talking a bit with Erwin and Danica that's when they were telling us that his dad was having some trouble with his wine business and his spy business but After we went to sleep that night after talking to Erwin and Danica We woke up After having some dreams So so Wallace had a dream of a magical sword Calling out and in the dream and I think it was kind of as simple as that So there had a dream recapping Kind of like some beatdowns I think of himself and others in combat like just seeing like the the horrors of the comet that we've had so far And some new ones that haven't happened yet and Then he hears the voice of his God telling him to call upon his aid in combat Iredell has a dream of a woman on a throne and And when they make eye contact Iredell feels emboldened She wakes and realizes she's a bit taller feels a bit stronger and has some additional hair This is also the day that I think Iredell would transform Also in that dream The woman says That she has power available to her if she sees it Saturno and Embers sees Stella again in a dream and She says to them help Victor.
00:35 [Sildir (Tris)] There's not much time Mercurio Here's a melody on a flute Some melancholy feelings come to him and he awakes to find that he is the one who's playing the flute very spooky So then we're all awake we all had these dreams Iredell is pretty perturbed We kind of realized that our next steps will be to go help out Victor or at least find out what's going on with Victor So it's kind of what we do it is raining outside Which gives Iredell a good excuse to conceal her like half transformed body But we go to the burgomaster's mansion we say we're there to discuss business and The burgomaster is not there Which is kind of fine by us But we have to talk to this maid Again of course and Mercurio just kind of trolls the maid to the point where we're allowed in Um That's what I have in my notes at least I'm sure it was a great troll We make our way to the library to find Victor But he's not there And then we keep looking around and we actually found a room full of dolls that look like arena, which was really weird Um Mercurio was able to determine that none of the dolls are magical And it looks like they were made by Blinsky so like Someone was paying pretty good money to have Blinsky make custom arena dolls pretty weird Ember takes one of the dolls It's the next room We check around the rest of the house. We find some weird stuff and the other rooms This guy's definitely a weird guy, but we already knew that But eventually we head into the attic and There is kind of like a kids hideout looking place with a Note on the door, which is supposed to be like His his sign and it says all is not well super edgy skull and crossbones And we open it and of course we find Victor there He is a big stinker I said in my notes And he just a man His book without any decorum or Ceremony just give me the book basically and the kind of rubs everybody the wrong way especially so Well and Mercurio I think was with me on this one wasn't just being cranky all alone for once I could be wrong though true
05:53 [Mercurio (Gui)] If Mercurio and Sylvia agree on something Canonically they have to be right.
06:02 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, I think so I think yeah We are we're both made cranky by silly edgy teenagers And Victor's right there for us so anyways We Kind of learned through talking to him like there's Stella and he actually Has like a magic mirror where we can see Stella. She's trapped in a serial plane It all has to do with hag Raven Hag Raven, let me make sure that's not correct Night, I guess. Thank you.
06:02 [Sildir (Tris)] Thank you Night hag magic and And You know, we did we like have to like really like beat this information out of him I won't go through the whole recap of it, but it was annoying Yeah, I I've been playing a little Skyrim so that's why you say But anyways we realize that We need to get a heart stone from a night hag and that is the old lady in the windmill Like we kind of put two and two together Apparently she'd be very hard to fight that's like the impression that I was getting But you can also make a deal with her. So Yeah, who knows what we'll do probably something stupid After some bickering with Victor There's also he pulls out a sword and he says never should have come here just kidding But he does pull out a sword and so Lawless recognizes it as the one from his dreams So he takes it and it is a nice sword indeed confirmed But notably one edge is silver and one is steel But we pretty much decided to get going after that Did I miss anything because I did like skim a couple bullet points. Does anyone want to throw in anything? From that encounter before I move on Yeah, there was a book we found there that's what I'm thinking of So Mercurio had this whole moment where there was a strange music coming from the room Only he was able to hear it He approaches it and there's an old leather-bound tome with a steel emblazoned cover bearing the crest of Ravenloft.
06:02 [Sildir (Tris)] Spooky de spooky But Yeah, so we move along and then we on the way out we have a moment we discuss the risks of what we're about to do considering That Irdel is about to transform But ultimately we decide we should go into town square first and At least kind of have like a vantage point on On Wachter's takeover And once we're done with that we plan to go to the Hags place since it seems to be kind of urgent this whole Stella business
09:16 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, pretty good recap, all right Thank you for that and without further ado I'll go ahead and transition the scene over to The town square where we left off last time
09:37 [Sildir (Tris)] Pewter transition us
09:41 [DM (Aarya)] Do you know the computer guy no, I don't think so
09:47 [Sildir (Tris)] He's from New York. You should know.
09:49 [Sylalys (Cat)] Oh, wow He's from Chicago.
09:52 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh Hi, he just sounds like a New Yorker.
09:54 [Sylalys (Cat)] But I already knows every resident in New York.
09:57 [Sildir (Tris)] Otherwise, yeah, right Yeah, he goes around and he's like computer Disintegrate this man's balls Computer make these two men extremely gay and horny.
10:12 [DM (Aarya)] These are actual actual lines I think I know who you're talking about now after that. Okay, of course, that's what makes My gosh, what the what's up?
10:34 [Sildir (Tris)] What the hell is going on here? I'll be well guy.
10:43 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, let me know when you guys are all in Okay Let me make sure that I have my notes and everything.

11:00 [DM (Aarya)] What the heck You started this war plunge Skyrim into chaos What is that Will put you down Is that all Frank that's all Frank is it referring to all Frank Is that like right at the beginning for the execution scene basically, yeah, you know, yeah All right. Yeah. Wow, you actually that's pretty good because all free goes there right?
11:00 [DM (Aarya)] He's one of the guys.
11:34 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah Yeah, all freaks there with his mouth. Yeah tight shut Russell shout you to pieces That's what he did to the high king or something, right Yep.
11:47 [DM (Aarya)] All right. Let's see All right, so you find yourselves Gathered here at the town square There have been decorations set about for what would have been the festival of the blazing Sun It seems however, and the townsfolk themselves are quickly realizing this that there are other plans afoot lady lady Vokta and Her attendants Ernst whom have you met? Have seemed to have commandeered the situation on the stage They stand there in the rain Ernst is holding a large umbrella Overheads lady Vokta and she is standing next to Baron Vargas And both of them seem to be preparing to address the crowd At this point it is just about getting to noon which was the scheduled time for the festival celebrations and As everyone is filing in Guards are kind of corralling people in towards the the town center and Baron Vargas begins to address the crowd My fellow Volokians it is with a heavy heart that I have a somber announcement I will be abdicating my position as Burgomaster of this fine village in favor of lady Fiona Vokta May she rule well in my stead All will be well And as he As he says this he Gestures towards lady Fiona and she steps forward and addresses the crowd in turn Thank You Baron Valakovich both for your foresight in these times of trouble and Your family's long history of service to the good people of Vlachy You honor me with this position and I vow to do my utmost to carry out the responsibilities of Burgomaster with wisdom and care my fellow Volokians We find ourselves in a period of change Change is difficult It can lead us into danger or into a period of new and brighter prosperity To navigate such murky waters a steady hand is needed a hand that acknowledges the world as it is Not the world we may wish it to be It is neither defiance nor abdication Abdication that will lead us to prosperity and peace, but respect homage and a sense of proper duty It is through these three principles that we may secure the safety of our children our neighbors and ourselves And it is through these three principles that I will work to ensure a better future for our beloved town May Vlachy find sanctuary in the mercy of the mist and may we come together stronger more united and more prosperous than ever before Thank you all and As she concludes her speech you see Townsfolk scattered throughout the crowds respond with muted applause not much fanfare going about and seeing as how the previously planned celebrations for the festival appeared have been canceled Everyone kind of looks about and starts filing out of the town square meanwhile Lady Voktor and Baron Vargas seem to be in discussion still on the stage
15:34 [Mercurio (Gui)] That's weird
15:39 [Sildir (Tris)] Is that really Baron Vargas she like replace him with a
15:45 [Irredel (Sav)] Illusion or something or maybe we allied with the right person who is going to ensure a peaceful transition of power.
16:00 [Sildir (Tris)] I hope so This was a lot more classy than I thought it would be yeah, it's a little too good to be true Should we go try to talk to them?
16:20 [Irredel (Sav)] Maybe let's just get a little closer and see if we notice anything off
16:25 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, maybe we can give the old Baron a handshake and see if our hand passes right through
16:32 [Irredel (Sav)] It's gonna get a little closer and maybe a little arcana check, okay
16:42 [Saturno (Steph)] We also check the person to them, I don't know which do you
16:51 [Mercurio (Gui)] Maybe I can spy on them
16:55 [DM (Aarya)] I will note that Shortly after the speech people are kind of like fighting out of the crowd So there's like not many people left in the town square apart from yourselves Kind of just like people going about their business at this point. So you're not like hidden or anything as you're approaching the stage Unless you'd like to explicitly try to sneak up or something Can I?
17:20 [Mercurio (Gui)] Sort of like Maybe dip out of the immediate town square Like dip into some alleyway and then try to Spy on them with my Raven. Um, yeah, sure.
17:35 [DM (Aarya)] You can do that Okay, I Assume the group kind of follows Yeah, unless you guys want to try to eavesdrop yourself I Will also point out that it is still raining at this point and it starts it has been like steadily like growing stronger the rain Mmm, I do want to see nearby just in case they decide to attack or someone shows up.
18:02 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah Yeah I'll probably just like Perch my Raven like somewhere near them. Like maybe I'm like the edge of the stage or something.
18:15 [DM (Aarya)] Okay And listen in Okay, so you're listening in through your Raven And you kind of overhear some conversation. It seems Lady Voktor is discussing All the duties that she'll be taking over from Baron Vargas including the overseeing like the town guards managing All the different businesses that are out going out through town and also what will what Baron Vargas himself will be up to Like post the transition of power and while this is happening You hear in the distance a crack of thunder And it rolls in and fills the space and Then all of a sudden the rain abruptly stops everyone remaining in the Town square kind of stops and just looks around just confused at the sudden change in weather and you see a another crack of thunder and as that happens, there's a tear in the sky that appears and through it flies out a Let me let me open this you see a pitch-black horse Riding through the sky. It has a mane of burning flames and it's hooves look like glowing embers the horse Flies down and lands on the stage and riding atop it is the devil himself And you see Strad von Zarovich Dismounting from his horse and is now standing before Lady Fiona and Baron Vargas
20:21 [Sylalys (Cat)] Your honor his aura farming
20:29 [DM (Aarya)] All right, and you see Strad turn to address Lady Fiona and Baron Vargas and as this is happening the few townsfolk who are remaining in the town square Instantly just drop whatever they're doing and they all flee screaming Strad addresses the two on a stage What a momentous day this is to witness this transition of power Centuries ago.
20:29 [DM (Aarya)] I had appointed Boris Valakovich the first as Burgomaster when Vallaki was first founded He had always been my staunch supporter and as his reward I entrusted him and his family with the care of this humble settlement The Vaktors had been there at the beginning as well always ambitious Always envious of their rivals, but today my dear lady Fiona You have realized the ambitions of your ancestors and taken power in Vallaki. I dare say it is well earned Baron Vargas here has driven this town mad with his delusional ramblings and besmirched the good Valakovich name But you lady Fiona saw an opportunity and took power for yourself for the good of Vallaki I shall trust you with this solemn duty provided of course that you swear fealty to me now and As he says this Lady Fiona kind of like is shocked clearly by Strahd's sudden appearance, but hearing his words She composes herself and then she takes a knee before him inclining her head She says to him of course, I swear fealty to you my lord And then Strahd addresses her once more Very good. I understand that you did not act alone in this endeavor and that there are heroes here among this crowd No, fuck Let them come forth dear champions So that we might recognize your brave deeds And he turns out towards the crowd and instantly makes eye contact with a lot of you hidden in wherever your hiding spots are
23:06 [Sylalys (Cat)] And on rapier jaw clenched
23:14 [Mercurio (Gui)] I'm walking up wine bottle drawn
23:23 [Saturno (Steph)] My dagger ready, I'm stimming with rocks
23:32 [DM (Aarya)] All right, so everyone is walking up towards the stage
23:42 [Sildir (Tris)] Can't really ignore this guy so yeah
23:45 [DM (Aarya)] So Strahd stands before a lot of you gathers and he looks to you each of Lee Individually and as he makes eye contact individually with each one of you you all feel a chill run down your spine It feels as if he's staring directly into your souls And he looks to you It seems you've accomplished a great deal since last we've met. I Understand that My dear valenta had some interesting plans in this town and you Dear heroes have thwarted her that is no simple task Hmm I'm curious.
23:45 [DM (Aarya)] How did you accomplish such a feat? You may speak freely.
24:34 [Irredel (Sav)] I will do you no harm today With a lot of effort well Let's get of our teeth bizarre impression valenta was toying with us and Left when it was convenient for her rather than as a reflection of a loss on her part well, honestly, it was We didn't really even know who was behind everything.
25:06 [Mercurio (Gui)] We just kind of followed the thread of the missing disappearances, you know trying to Find the people that were going missing from the town and it eventually led us to her I See hmm.
25:22 [DM (Aarya)] It was she and her goons your goons were no challenge for us Your confidence does your credit Indeed, I think the rest of your compatriots deal syllabus are being quite a bit too modest This is quite the achievement. It is not every day that valenta is bested by the likes of yourselves. I Been wounded quite a bit Even if she does not show it immediately, I think An achievement such as this deserves a reward Name it and if it is within reason I shall grant it to you
26:06 [Sylalys (Cat)] I'm gonna spit on the floor towards him
26:10 [DM (Aarya)] Yes, very good I do appreciate your your spunk well, hold on guys
26:18 [Sildir (Tris)] Don't all go spitting on the floor now We get a chance to deal with the devil himself
26:38 [Irredel (Sav)] Maybe we make the right deal
26:46 [DM (Aarya)] I'm afraid This offer won't last past this meeting
26:55 [Sildir (Tris)] What can I ask you something Quietly so that only you can hear
27:01 [DM (Aarya)] Come forth. I mean, I'm fine with my friends hearing too, of course, but I don't want everyone to know my business he'll so you'll see stride gesture towards Vargas and Fiona behind him and And understanding his signal they'll step back and Turn away so that they're not overhearing Speak it boy as a reward Could you leave the village of Barovia alone? Leave the village of Barovia.
27:45 [Sildir (Tris)] This is what you would ask of me seems we don't want anything From you particularly at least our group. It's just it's not my formal request.
27:57 [DM (Aarya)] It's asking if This is within reason I still have to ask my friends, but I don't want to get their hopes up hmm, very well The citizens of Barovia have acted against me once before and they've paid that cost I consider that matter to be settled and provided that they do not agitate me any further.
28:20 [Sildir (Tris)] I shall not disturb them in return hmm Well, I didn't mean for that to be my final request, but Hmm I'm sure my friends my friends will like that one nonetheless If you give me a chance to consult with them, I'd appreciate it But otherwise, I'm that's that's a wonderful award and thank you for being so agreeable.
28:47 [DM (Aarya)] Hmm Make it quick then my patience only extends so far Yes, I've seen that before So I'll just like convey that idea.
28:58 [Sildir (Tris)] It's everybody You didn't ask for any money or wine Would Iridell like that I'm scared to put Iridell's cure in the hands of this guy or even let him know Let's not even that's a weakness of our party.
29:23 [Mercurio (Gui)] Let's not bring that up.
29:24 [Sylalys (Cat)] I think and what's a beer?
29:27 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah God damn Well She is a citizen of Barovia, is she not? Barovia village.
29:36 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yes, but she should be safe there now in her home He did not say that he could not bring harm to the citizens in Barovia Well, maybe you you should broker the deal.
29:52 [Sildir (Tris)] So all this I like the way you think Not speak to the devil He disgusts me and I'm gonna like look at look down at the ground Maybe we could ask him for something else but we always ask him to just Break that old hag out of this world real quick for us handle our next order of business We need the heart stone Can we just take it off of her dead body? Maybe we could ask him for a heart stone Don't we need the specific? Drug would probably know we could just ask him
30:55 [Irredel (Sav)] Well, I will say that requesting peace for Barovia village wherein the villagers will not be harmed or punished for the actions of their ancestors Would alleviate a lot of problems in the region it would it would bring arena some element of peace and it would allow the refugees to return home
31:27 [Sildir (Tris)] I mean I could add Asking to add safety for arena as a as a term Do what happens?
31:47 [Irredel (Sav)] Well for all we know he's going to consider safety for arena something like spiriting her away to his castle It's a safest place in the realm or something Maybe we ask for Safe passage through the lands during our travels.
32:10 [Mercurio (Gui)] That's true. We do have a lot of traveling to do We've got to go to that windmill And we've got to go to that winery and Who knows maybe Krezic at some point, too.
32:29 [Sylalys (Cat)] I think that is a truth. We cannot hold Will be turned a blind eye to any citizens facing suffering at his demons
32:41 [Mercurio (Gui)] Or maybe we should just ask to leave
32:48 [Sildir (Tris)] We could try that He is ready to go home
32:57 [Irredel (Sav)] Hmm, I would hate I would hate to leave all the citizens of Barovia suffering behind Yeah, I also feel pretty bad
33:07 [Sildir (Tris)] Me dying won't change that I
33:11 [Irredel (Sav)] Agree, but I think the best we can do is ask for peace for Barovia village
33:20 [Sildir (Tris)] peace for Barovia village or Yeah, or traveling and safety on authority of strut one of the other I Say peace for Barovia village and its citizens I Think he was just rationalizing this favor as something that he likes
34:02 [Mercurio (Gui)] Okay.
34:02 [Sildir (Tris)] Well personally, that's my my interpretation of it.
34:06 [Irredel (Sav)] I mean the refugees are still here they need Maybe we ask for Peace for Barovia village Allow the citizens to return home In peace and begin rebuilding their lives I
34:21 [Mercurio (Gui)] Think that's
34:22 [Sylalys (Cat)] Why don't we ask him for a pony and 1 million gold as well, I cannot trust him there is no points
34:36 [Mercurio (Gui)] Doesn't hurt to ask I mean whatever Sylvia just just put the tag on that they should be able to go back home safely and and You know, we'll take him for his word whatever that's worth I'm gonna take a swig of my my wine.
34:54 [Sylalys (Cat)] I'm tired of this shit Well reveals the secrets Strad hello.
35:09 [Sildir (Tris)] Yes Yes, so just to Confirm Peace for Barovia village and safety for citizens would include a safe return to Barovia village and no further interference from You or your forces and the lives of the people there. Is that fair to say?
35:38 [DM (Aarya)] Is this truly what you would ask of me?
35:43 [Irredel (Sav)] It seems so You Could ask for for wealth or power or something of personal gain and Yet you choose to ask for the safety of others We clearly care about the villages and towns of this place we worked to ensure that Lady Fiona Took power here bringing peace We're hoping to extend the same to Barovia village How interesting?
36:16 [DM (Aarya)] We look out for the good of your own Very well, I had I had expected more ambition from you, but I can grant this. This is a small matter Thank you.
36:32 [Sildir (Tris)] That is most gracious You think it's a small matter then sure may surprise you someday means much to us Hmm.
36:42 [DM (Aarya)] Very well, then I shall consider our business concluded and with that Strahd will turn Walk on back over to his horse He'll mount up and then Ride off in a similar fashion to which he arrived All right And as soon as he he leaves Baron Vargas immediately collapses to the ground on all fours and just begins sobbing Look, are you?
37:30 [Sildir (Tris)] I hope you're... are you scared? Or is that admiration?
37:30 [Sildir (Tris)] I hope not. I thought the devil had come to take me I guess you were pretty scared of that guy, weren't you? Well, maybe this will be good for you Baron you can Take a break and still try to think about something else.
37:30 [Sildir (Tris)] Did you do this? Did I do this?
37:59 [DM (Aarya)] So well You conspired against me is that what happened?
38:05 [Sildir (Tris)] it was It was a little more than a conspiracy. It was pretty genius. But yes, I mean We did don't it's okay.
38:14 [Mercurio (Gui)] It's okay And you I was the mastermind behind the plan. Oh, well, hold on you Can't quite say that I can't it but there and I did it I did it because it was the only way to spare you from Strahd's Wrath. Roll deception Has it been has it been one hour since we were at his manor?
38:46 [DM (Aarya)] Sure, I'll say it technically hasn't but I'll allow it.
38:49 [Mercurio (Gui)] Okay, so I could still have a enhance ability. Yeah.
38:53 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah Okay, hell yeah Even now after all this time you were looking up for me. Oh, what can I say? I have a heart of pure gold Oh Mercurio and he'll like immediately rush for it and just kind of like crush you and like a bear hug.
38:53 [DM (Aarya)] I Knew you wouldn't forsake me. I knew you wouldn't Mercurio My dear friend He's like he's like he's like soaking the front of your shirt with his tears by the way Okay, okay, I'm gonna like peel him off okay.
39:39 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah, that's now you can ask for whatever you want you have his gratitude Yes, yes, I mean I do I do hope that you know, this will be for Orchestrating this perfect exchange between you two that I will be fairly Compensated for my work. Yes, as well as my friends, of course.
40:00 [DM (Aarya)] Yes. Yes, of course I mean, well lady Fiona here is seizing a great deal of my assets So I'm not sure that I can grant you much But I'm sure we can we can arrange for something and he kind of looks expect expectantly towards Lady Fiona and Fiona says to him we have already discussed the matter of their compensation I just Well, we hope you had a character for a second.
40:30 [Sildir (Tris)] This guy just believed that Overthrowing him was us looking out for him. That is that is crazy Well stride stride didn't say that he was running the Ground, you know I Guess so.
40:51 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I guess that's true I'm deceived to it was such a good But that lady Fiona will turn to you all as promised I Will offer you the monetary compensation that we discussed She'll wave to Ernst and he'll step forward And give you Mercurio a sack of gold with 100 gold pieces 100 gold pieces. Mm-hmm.
41:35 [Mercurio (Gui)] What about the lands and titles that we discussed? My lady, yes. Yes, of course that will take that will take some time to arrange but you shall have that as well This is a measly salary divided Six parts.
41:49 [DM (Aarya)] You must understand that I think you'll find that in these lands. This will go a great deal.
41:54 [Sildir (Tris)] I Mean for 100 gold, I think Baron Vargas could buy our services back just saying No, it's just it's just saying I wouldn't make sure that you hold the rest of your compensation, you know It's not I'm not saying I would do that as as we just mentioned. This was beneficial to Vargas as well I'm sure he will go live a peaceful life now, but There's a lot of people who can spend a hundred gold to topple a regime in a city I'm just saying there's many people with a hundred gold in their pockets.
42:25 [DM (Aarya)] Not really not here Hmm there's a lot.
42:30 [Sildir (Tris)] Hmm. There's more than just you I will say that and where are they?
42:37 [DM (Aarya)] Around hmm, hopefully not listening to this, of course Well, I got a little smirk on his face.
42:45 [Sildir (Tris)] He might have a hundred gold Yes, if he does not a buddy buddy behind the wagon or whatever that is A little sideways grid on Well As long as the rest of my eyes are still in the works You shall have it.
43:07 [DM (Aarya)] I mean it won't happen overnight, but it will be yours We'll hold you to that Indeed and of course you will always be welcome as guests of honor here in Vallaki and soon-to-be nobles yourselves Say are you moving into the baron's manor? Mmm, I'd rather think I would allow the Baron to keep his home. I have no interest in the the block of its family manor however, I will be seizing a number of his assets for the greater good of the town and Redistributing the wealth as I see appropriate Yeah, I think I used mine read on Mercurio just now yeah Okay, all right, whatever I'm too busy for this anyways.
44:12 [Mercurio (Gui)] Mm-hmm.
44:16 [Sildir (Tris)] Well I'll like turn to our group. They say I think I did pretty good negotiating that one. I did I said specifically That no interference from strata or any of his forces can interfere with any of the people living in Barovia village Not bad, right Extremely well, that's an extremely wide net to guess can't interfere.
44:44 [Irredel (Sav)] That's great Yeah, go ahead and take inspiration for that actually I hope he doesn't have a cousin named fraud or something But we'll see if he's a guy of his word or not It can probably soon or not, but at least we tried something Something that one village at a time Do you think you can hear us right now?
45:23 [Mercurio (Gui)] Certainly Flying horse.
45:39 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, maybe it's too windy when he's flying for him to hear us, you know Just kidding maybe maybe Well, I guess we'd better be on to our that old hag Yeah, who said that? Was that you or was that?

47:06 [Sildir (Tris)] I I think as long as Who cares what time we get back we'll be okay, that's My spin on it All right, it won't be like that long after sunset.
47:54 [Irredel (Sav)] I'm sure as long as you all feel safe My preference would be to stay locked in a room just in case something goes Off kilter, but I don't really feel like we have much choice in this matter There's much to be done. Not a lot of time and this is the task of utmost importance Maybe we could ask for some assistance.
48:21 [Mercurio (Gui)] I mean we are trying to save The Baroness's daughter here.
48:25 [Sildir (Tris)] So yeah, I guess How much have we filled wactern on our plans Lady wactor, would you come and have a quick discussion with your soon-to-be?
48:39 [DM (Aarya)] Nobility Sure, why not? What can I help you?
48:44 [Mercurio (Gui)] Well, we have to be pretty hasty about this. So sorry if this comes at you in a rush, but we seem to think that We might know how to help your daughter, but we have to act very quickly You you can help Stella Yes, we've uh, what if you don't cut that? The Curse that was placed on her was put there by a hag and we will need to kill the hag in order to I See helps your daughter and you know where to find this hag We know where to find the hang.
49:26 [DM (Aarya)] Yes What can I how can I help you what do you need maybe guys maybe we Maybe we ambushed the heck with some guards or something Yeah, I think just some extra guards would be great Extra extra hands Is are you asking that of?
49:55 [Sildir (Tris)] The lady I was kind of saying that's a Guillermo not mercurial, but I can I can say in character Yeah, I think just some Some extra soldiers in this fight would be great for us Yes, yes, I can I can't promise you that uh Well, I'll come back. We've heard this hag is pretty tough, but we will put our lives on the line just as they will All right in this case.
50:27 [DM (Aarya)] Are you are you headed there now?
50:29 [Sildir (Tris)] Yes, there's no time to order a business.
50:32 [DM (Aarya)] All right, then I shall come with you If you're going if you're going to fight this hag to save my daughter then I shall come with you
50:42 [Mercurio (Gui)] Are you trained in like
50:48 [DM (Aarya)] Magic or you sword fighting your fighting my dear boy there are a great deal of talents that you aren't aware of that I have and she'll open her palm and a You'll see a flame up here in her hand
51:08 [Sildir (Tris)] Whatever pretty sweet Pretty yeah, what was going on that night when that? never mind Just if you'll come help us and you're you're a mage then come on Very good.
51:08 [Sildir (Tris)] Let us be off then All will be well It's a good catchphrase you should maybe keep it around Hmm Met a met a game moment. Hmm pressing pause uh-huh Does Wector know about Iridyll yet? Yeah, this fuckin Do they does she know that Iridyll is like gonna transform?
51:57 [DM (Aarya)] Oh That's what you mean. No, she does not know that.
52:00 [Irredel (Sav)] Oh, yeah. Okay.
52:02 [DM (Aarya)] We might want to lose her Unless we say that I'm a druid I believe in Mercurio for that Yeah Those charisma rolls were pretty good So I assume you guys are like heading towards like the game, yeah, okay, so as you're walking Lady Valkyrie will kind of like look to Iridyll and she'll say Iridyll are you feeling all right?
52:40 [Irredel (Sav)] You seem you seem a bit off Just a bit overwrought from all the excitement of today Obviously a lot has happened and That horse and figure coming out of the sky was Apocalyptic feeling yes many many developments today.
53:07 [DM (Aarya)] I was not expecting Strahd himself to to show up, but That seemed to have gone well
53:14 [Irredel (Sav)] Yes, who would have thought that the dreadlord of this realm was interested in this local government here
53:23 [DM (Aarya)] Hmm yes, I I wasn't expecting him to take a personal interest, but it seems that I have his favor and Well, I'll try not to go against that
53:35 [Irredel (Sav)] Adds legitimacy to your to your rule it does is what's important right now and even more important than that it keeps
53:41 [DM (Aarya)] the people of a lucky safe, so
53:48 [Irredel (Sav)] And that's one of our priorities keeping the people of this realm safe
53:53 [DM (Aarya)] Yes Despite your yourselves being outsiders to these lands
54:00 [Irredel (Sav)] Well, what else is there to do?
54:03 [DM (Aarya)] We were spirited here well, you could have done a great number of things you could have looted and plundered and taken and consolidated power for yourselves and The devil himself offered you one of his boons, and you chose to use it to protect others That's rather noble.
54:22 [Mercurio (Gui)] Oh, yeah, it's no fun.
54:24 [Sildir (Tris)] If he just hands you the power you know Yeah, I think we've actually Consolidated some power and wealth for ourselves something Strahd didn't quite realize Hmm and buying peace for a whole city. I mean that could be powerful, too I I suppose it is of a sort.
54:43 [DM (Aarya)] Let's see.
54:47 [Sylalys (Cat)] Let's see if I can get a scene made along the way So hope you can't hear me He's a bit short-sighted Let's see What kind of maps do I have here?
55:10 [DM (Aarya)] Give me one sec. I thought I had a Roads map somewhere You see maybe we should ask the baron to come with this Let me pull y'all into the scene Charges in Leroy Jenkins all will be well.
55:48 [Mercurio (Gui)] I'll save that for another another adventure I think I have a Plus one favor from the baron Yeah, you're you're next you're next strata run, right? Oh my gosh, don't say that first the curse of Strahd The curse of scheduling I'll BRB Sessions wanna go eat it. We did pretty good wireless headset.
56:20 [DM (Aarya)] Don't say that
56:25 [Sildir (Tris)] No, I'm just saying it we made it this far I think I think we got this not to jinx us But yeah, I mean, it's been going pretty well so far and I mean, I think like even then not to keep comparing it to the last time we did this but like Even with some of the delays we've had in this one I think we still made it considerably further in the same amount of time as the oh, yeah
56:56 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I mean we had we were able to do like longer sessions this time around so that if any made a huge difference
57:04 [Saturno (Steph)] Is it a cool if we use the restroom real quick?
57:06 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah. Yeah good for it. All right Not a lot No, you have to piss yourself.
57:14 [Sildir (Tris)] It was the conditions. It was in the fine print of my deal with Strahd Peace for Barovia, but always piss your pants It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make don't you need to get his prostate checks I Got to that age, right Still dear grandpa jokes Here don't schedule the doctor's appointment for him note this down.
57:50 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah What is everyone up to while you're on the road I would actually say you're Adele is probably brooding a little bit brooding. Yeah Let's see brooding over I wonder
58:21 [Irredel (Sav)] I'm very Concerned about the way this evening is going to go I'm already upset about being put in this vulnerable position and now there is someone who's essentially a near stranger potentially going to Witness it and we have to hope we can spin it the right way I was like, I don't know Yeah, just gonna get executed or some shit like that
58:42 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, she probably won't be too pleased to know that you're a werewolf I haven't you seen Twilight. Yeah.
58:42 [DM (Aarya)] Oh my I don't think I don't think they have that here Why not? There's no Stephanie Meyer in Barovia Rip This is Stephanie Murray There's a different Stephanie though There's Stephanie online I don't think they have online in Barovia either Can have the Wi-Fi password, I wasn't expecting you guys to ask for the the boon that you asked Definitely was a surprise for me I thought you would ask for something like can we leave or something like that board?
59:49 [Sylalys (Cat)] Oh, yeah, that makes sense, too I think that one got metagamed out.
59:56 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah Yeah, I can't be my end, yeah It's just like yeah Well, you don't know the answer that I would have given you so would be sad if we did get was all a dream We wake up it's 2020 Let's go back to sleep good deal to make strut what's the deal? You know take him out, yeah, my wish would have been kill yourself You can catch these hands for free To You guys find yourselves on the roads leading out of Milwaukee On your way over to the the old windmill You Travel along the road. You're about like an hour on your trip.
59:56 [DM (Aarya)] So about halfway there now at this point You just make it out of the woods wherever lucky is and Over the hills in the distance. You can kind of see like the top of the window peeking out in the horizon And lady Fiona turns to all of you and she asks so How did you learn of this there there was a there's a hag involved, is that correct?
01:02:38 [Sildir (Tris)] Yep It is a hag and it appears that Somehow some way your daughter's been cursed by this egg. I don't know if you would recognize this But she is a figure in the community.
01:02:53 [DM (Aarya)] She gives out strange pastries Yes Yes, I've I've heard of I've heard of this. She she visits the refugee camp outside of Milwaukee though She doesn't ever make it in towards the village proper Yeah, I think there's a reason for that hmm well I have some knowledge of the the arcane arts and I'm familiar with some variety of magical creatures such as night hags and Well, they are formidable creatures Do you do you have a plan of action?
01:03:38 [Mercurio (Gui)] well The way I see it. There's two ways we could go at this we can go directly to The windmill but I think the problem with that would be She'll have her her daughters there.
01:03:58 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, so she has daughters are there Night hags are notorious for gathering in covens of three. How many daughters does she have?
01:04:08 [Mercurio (Gui)] I believe two So yes, I think we're dealing with a full coven of three here the other idea would be Try to ambush her When she makes her her trip Town Dealing with a night hag directly.
01:04:28 [DM (Aarya)] Well You all have proven yourselves quite capable so I don't doubt that you could do it, but I suspect it won't be a simple task If you're going to face them directly, well night hags are notoriously slippery creatures. So we'll have to have some means of Locking them down to prevent them from escaping into the ethereal plane If they are a coven of three Night hags are by their nature that are untrustworthy creatures even of each other So to enter in a coven they would need to forge a contract between themselves Hmm and this contract would have their true names inscribed upon it and Is undoubtedly kept somewhere safe within their? their quarters if you can Find and locate this contract I can use it To create a binding spell that will prevent them from escaping We need to think so to stop it.
01:05:42 [Mercurio (Gui)] Otherwise, it's basically impossible to defeat them. They'll just Go into the ethereal plane well But even if you were to defeat them, they would simply escape your grasp and then you wouldn't be able to Get whatever it is you need from them The hearthstone well Ruffling through a dusty place in search of a contract.
01:06:17 [Irredel (Sav)] That sounds like something I'm very capable of It's true.
01:06:26 [Sildir (Tris)] Usually she does charge for that But uh, I don't think they'll just be Welcoming us in to their filing cabinets.
01:06:42 [DM (Aarya)] So are they aware that you know their true nature? Nope Well, that's quite the advantage then you can perhaps you could greet them under the guise of Asking for their asking after their pastries or or whatnot and then That might give the others some time to search Do you think they wouldn't recognize you? they would undoubtedly recognize me and Right away they'd be able to tell that I'm well that I have the opportunity to see them as they're they really are so I think at best that I Hang back at a distance until you're able to secure the contract and then I can perform the ritual to bind them How would they how would they know that you can see them for what they are?
01:06:42 [DM (Aarya)] It's due to the nature of my Arcane ability you see You're a bard Mercurio, is that correct? That's right and you draw your power by the power of music and Manipulating the weave in that fashion. Sure My my powers come from a pact that I've made With a powerful entity and that's something that would be easily spotted by creatures such as Nighthike This is slightly concerning Powerful entity you say?
01:08:29 [Irredel (Sav)] Are there many of those that are accessible in this realm?
01:08:34 [DM (Aarya)] There are other powers besides Vanzarevich in these lands, so whether or not they are accessible is a different story altogether So who is your you you have a pact with somebody Yes, she is The mother of the Knights Ezra.
01:09:07 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh, well. Hey, she can't be She can't be worse than the devil. Am I right guys?
01:09:07 [Sildir (Tris)] What's this Ezra all about?
01:09:18 [DM (Aarya)] She is about freedom, right?
01:09:27 [Sildir (Tris)] I know a lot of these these gods and goddesses they have you know they can be about ending world hunger, but also Plunging everyone into a world of chaos, you know, so if freedom and what is there a catch or I'm just curious. I mean, I mean I'm not here to you know Change your mind or anything. I'm just wondering picking your brain on the road
01:09:52 [Irredel (Sav)] Well, she has been offered two alternatives or two gods to pledge himself to
01:10:00 [DM (Aarya)] Come from a very personal place I see well When I was a little girl, I once found myself at a crossroads and I To be honest, I didn't want to be the matriarch of my family's clan and I fled I ran off into the woods and found myself lost in some swamp and An old lady took me in She taught me her ways.
01:10:00 [DM (Aarya)] That's where I initially learned The arcane arts and through her I learned of Lady Ezra, and I pledged myself to her and through my faith to her I found renewed resolve to bring peace and freedom to the people of Alaki and The rest is history But do you find that this Ezra makes any demands of you None that aren't aligned with my own interests No, well good for you then. Well, I Think how close are we to this place now at this point I say you are getting pretty close Let's see, let me see everyone give me perception checks Okay, oh Wow, let's see. We got a 20 from Sylilis a 20 from Iridel 18 from Ember 9 from Mercurio 10 from Sildir And the 17 from Saturna.
01:10:00 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, so everyone except Mercurio and Sildir interesting that it's you too You notice that you are being watched there is some figure perched in a tree a short ways off the road and They appear to be eyeing you with great interest.
01:12:13 [Irredel (Sav)] Oh No a figure in a tree All the quarter wool folks were up in trees all the time can we make out any Can we make out anything about this figure?
01:12:33 [DM (Aarya)] Let's see Yeah, you roll pretty high on your perception checks I'll say that you can kind of make out what they look like So you see a gaunt figure with wild hair and bare feet Crouching on a thick gnarled branch above your heads They are wearing what appears to be a tattered gown of stitched animal skins and you see red streaks Smeared up their cheeks with two more fang-shaped streaks on like under their lips You see them stop and sniff the air and they start laughing like a lunatic
01:13:07 [Irredel (Sav)] A little songbirds wandering the dark woods if you consider a shrike a songbird then sure
01:13:17 [DM (Aarya)] Oh goody a shrike Hmm, what what business does this one have here? I wonder What business does one have up in trees oh But this is my home you see Huh?
01:13:33 [Irredel (Sav)] Well, we have no desire to trespass. We'll be moving along if you allow us passage.
01:13:38 [DM (Aarya)] Oh I am no Collector of tolls you are free to travel these roads as you see fits
01:13:45 [Saturno (Steph)] Hey, thank you
01:13:50 [DM (Aarya)] Pick up the pace run along little birdies Best you get gobbled up by the monsters in the woods
01:14:03 [Irredel (Sav)] Thank You YouTube
01:14:08 [DM (Aarya)] You can try to do an arcana check Yeah, so with a six I kind of check yeah, you don't take any magic
01:14:20 [Saturno (Steph)] You know the spider from blood-borne and like the Dark Souls games I like they just fuck you over This reminds me of It's funny you say you'll be doing something they kick you down like the this like edge
01:14:38 [DM (Aarya)] It's funny you say that because I think Kat has pointed out there like a couple of like blood-borne esque moments before
01:14:44 [Saturno (Steph)] This is one of them. You know, I'm talking about like the spider. Yeah, regular head spider persons.
01:14:50 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah All right, if that's the case that I'm gonna say and do you not consider yourself one of the monsters in these woods?
01:14:57 [DM (Aarya)] No, no, I'm merely one with the forest and I mean you no harm and who do we have the pleasure of speaking to? Since you mean it's no harm Oh, well, like I said, I am one with the forest I'm played by none who call these woods their home Well, is there anything we can do for you or are you just amused by Having a little chat with travelers merely indulging my curiosity little one run along now Okay.
01:16:05 [Sildir (Tris)] Well, mr If I can call you that well one with the woods. I'm still there. See you around
01:16:11 [DM (Aarya)] All right, and I assume you guys continue on As you guys As you guys are walking along the roads Lady Voctor kind of like if you see that she's kind of lost in thought Let me pull up some notes really quick
01:16:41 [Sildir (Tris)] Lady what there seems that you're lost in thought
01:16:46 [DM (Aarya)] What are you thinking about yes, it's it's curious that was that was a druid of the forest folk So it's it's strange that they would be this far east Are they hmm Are they expanding beyond the Swarlik woods? I'm not sure Are they?
01:17:11 [Sildir (Tris)] generally peaceful like that one Said so or are they do they find they have a strange definition of peace.
01:17:18 [DM (Aarya)] Let's say they are territorial They they make their homes in the the Swarlik woods in the surrounding areas and they largely keep to themselves there There are primitive people and they have strange rituals and practices, but I've never known them to Antagonize folks without cause It is odd though that this one would be this far out here. They're not normally found So far from their their homes Could something be driving them out Yes, perhaps and I'm concerned as to what that might be Would you wanna go back and maybe ask? I?
01:17:18 [DM (Aarya)] should think we have more pressing concerns at the moment, but Maybe we'll catch them on the way back if they prove themselves to be a real threat to Valaki Then we will deal with them as is appropriate Well, maybe maybe they were just Trying to mess with our party druid Do you have a druid in your midst? Oh
01:18:37 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yes, Iridell is dabbles in the in the druid arts
01:18:41 [DM (Aarya)] You're a druid Iridell Among other things how curious and I I had assumed that you were a cleric Well, you'll learn that those are not a mutually exclusive how interesting give me a deception check
01:19:05 [Irredel (Sav)] Mercurio on the back and
01:19:11 [DM (Aarya)] 23 Okay, 23 Okay, yeah, that'll do it how the hell is your your bone is so high, okay, you have extra teeth and deception I do
01:19:30 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah, that explains it.
01:19:32 [Sildir (Tris)] I'm a liar liar Now she just thinks that all Clerics are also druids. That's how to see if she is a druid cleric.
01:19:45 [Irredel (Sav)] That's That's rather interesting you'll have to you'll have to show me your art sometimes I'm I'm curious yes, there's a synergies between the the different paths and very interesting indeed primarily it just allows me to Take a different form Wild shape if you will, but I started off. It's just a cleric I See, but there's much holiness in the natural world as well.
01:20:24 [DM (Aarya)] I wouldn't have guessed but I Can see that you're this is your domain of expertise. I won't question it All right, and with that I'm gonna go ahead and transition the scene once more Oh Let me get you you guys into the scene It's somebody speaking Oh maybe Carlos If someone there Thank you You Really got Skyrim on the brain today, that's funny.
01:21:38 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, I've been doing a run. Yeah, that's good.
01:21:41 [DM (Aarya)] Okay. Let's see if I can Get some more music So it's like that This is better here we go mystical Alright, so let me go ahead and pull out my book for the description here So funny every time I run these I'm like cross-referencing so many sources, all right So you see the old Spalic Road transitions here from being a winding path through the barrel the Balanoc mountains To a lazy trail that hugs the mountainside as it descends into a fog-filled valley in the heart of the valley You see a walled town near the shores of a great mountain. Oh, yeah, that's lucky and then a branch in the road leads west to a Promontory what is that from a promontory?
01:21:41 [DM (Aarya)] Promontory I don't know that word a Top which is perched a dilapidated stone window. It's warped wooden veins stripped bare Um Sav if you're speaking you're muted I was just playing the vocab game, okay Okay, and as you approach the windmill You see the onion domed edifice leans forward and to one side as they're trying to turn away from the stormy gray sky You see gray brick walls and dirt covered windows on the upper floors a decrepit wooden platform encircles the windmill above a flimsy doorway Leading to the building's interior perched on a wooden beam above the door Actually, no, I took that out so that's not there cool.
01:23:49 [Sildir (Tris)] So you find yourselves in front of this dilapidated looking old windmill well Lady Wachter, are you far enough away?
01:24:05 [DM (Aarya)] I should ask you one last thing before we approach I've been unable to confirm these rumors, but I've heard tell that The children from the refugee camp have been going missing and I'm not sure if these hags are responsible Do you know if there's a link between these two?
01:24:29 [Mercurio (Gui)] not that we've heard of but But we've also noticed and heard about these children going missing it could make sense What would they do with these children?
01:24:45 [DM (Aarya)] well nothing, I Think good.
01:24:50 [Sildir (Tris)] I Feel a role for My role for history real quick.
01:24:56 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah Wow, like a personal role they cook pies Do you see a butcher you around here?
01:25:03 [Mercurio (Gui)] Okay There's actually some pigs in the yard.
01:25:07 [DM (Aarya)] I think I see there Yeah So with a six history check, you don't recall anything that would be relevant.
01:25:17 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, it was just like A metagame role to see if I would say something or not almost so all good Yeah Yeah, I won't say it.
01:25:34 [DM (Aarya)] No, but I would have said something I see All right They do an arcana check.
01:25:44 [Saturno (Steph)] Oh, actually I suck at that, but I'll do it.
01:25:47 [DM (Aarya)] Anyway, you can do it Hey So the nine arcana check you don't really detect any magic or anything of the like And burn I give a thumbs up no magic here I think that was a bad one Arcana check so Ember you feel very confident that there is no magic whatsoever here. And in fact, not only that You're beginning to question of these night hags that are actually here and if it's they're not at some other place Yeah, okay Is there anything like strange about that atmosphere?
01:26:32 [Saturno (Steph)] Like can we smell whatever they're baking like can we tell that someone's cooking right now?
01:26:37 [DM (Aarya)] Give me perception for that Okay I don't know shit today That's a five perception check You just all the way now. You just smell the overpowering smell of shit coming from the pig pants like shit here Give me one sec. I'm gonna take a quick potty break.
01:26:37 [DM (Aarya)] Okay.
01:27:02 [Sildir (Tris)] I'll be right what is this thing? Right now change their diaper The frame perfect reaction key
01:27:14 [Sylalys (Cat)] Just ready for that

01:27:40 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yeah Yeah, like a mystery murder mystery.
01:27:44 [DM (Aarya)] I've always wanted to You know, it's funny you say that because I think at some point in the future for this campaign That might be like some kind of opportunity like that Dining room everybody. Yeah.
01:27:56 [Irredel (Sav)] Oh my god.
01:27:57 [DM (Aarya)] I'm gonna get a wig Can make you the crow Okay, all right, um, somebody had a question about something in the scene we'll have them Oh
01:28:20 [Saturno (Steph)] Irita or I was just kidding
01:28:24 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah Okay, Irita with a 25 perception check You are able to pick out the smell of fresh pastries being baked you feel the smell of wafting along the winds in your direction and Oh Yeah, you you feel your hunger being stoked
01:29:05 [Irredel (Sav)] Yes, they're there. The hags are definitely here. I can know their Bakery if you can call it that Anyone have any rations by any chance Yes, I do I Pass them over I'm going to So what's our story here?
01:29:43 [Sildir (Tris)] We just want their pies Maybe Maybe we can bring news of the Change in power. There's a new festival tomorrow. We need a catering order or something Oh That's that's really good like that a little bit of truth a little bit of life Those are the best lies I Can't think of anything better So there is like smirking very satisfied with himself today, yeah Mm-hmm.
01:29:43 [Sildir (Tris)] It's like yeah, I Made a good deal Telling a good lie life is good It's across more things off my to-do list like it's like grandpa still got it
01:30:54 [Mercurio (Gui)] Well since you're on such a hot streak, how about you you lead on this one so dear go ahead and Give it a knock
01:31:03 [Sildir (Tris)] Well, I'd be nothing without my team backing me up so you guys do that and Yeah, I don't mind leading the charge All right, you have three Pretty solid knocks on the door here.
01:31:20 [Saturno (Steph)] I Have an audio for that.

01:32:59 [Irredel (Sav)] I'll stand I won't hide.
01:33:01 [DM (Aarya)] Okay.
01:33:02 [Irredel (Sav)] Do I have eyes on lady walker though?
01:33:04 [DM (Aarya)] You can kind of tell where she is from where you are. You're close enough.
01:33:07 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah Okay.
01:33:09 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, she is definitely hiding though All right Okay.
01:33:16 [Sildir (Tris)] All right. I'll give three solid knocks bump bump bump. All right, and I guess we're all here and our place is now
01:33:23 [DM (Aarya)] um Okay, so you knock you get three firm knocks on the door As you had walked up to the door you did hear the sounds of the mill grinding away And as you knock you hear the grinding sound slowly come to a stop You hear some footsteps coming from some upper level above and then some more steps as it sounds like somebody's coming down some stairs And then after a few moments you see the door open And you are greeted once more by Morgana and she looks to you all and she says, oh Well, hello Davey. So what's what brings you here to what?
01:34:06 [Sildir (Tris)] Hello there you're looking just fetching today I have to say Yeah, so we are here For some good news and some good news actually Oh my favorite kind of news Yes, double good. Double good the best so Some Some big happenings have been going down in town The baron who you know, at least in my opinion was a little overbearing has been peacefully removed from power and The Wachter house has gone ahead and You may or may not know this but today was the festival of the blazing Sun and Rather than holding the festival today. It's going to be postponed tomorrow And that's where the second bit of good news comes in if you're looking for a business that is if possible we'd like to Try out a catering order with you.
01:34:06 [Sildir (Tris)] It could be the first of many if it goes well.
01:35:14 [DM (Aarya)] Oh Catering order I see Roll me a deception check.
01:35:23 [Sildir (Tris)] Let me see how this goes 16 pretty good.
01:35:29 [DM (Aarya)] Okay I see. So you you are looking to place a bulk order. Is that it for my my famous dream pastries?
01:35:38 [Sildir (Tris)] well, I mean Bulk order would be almost putting it lightly and we do need a fast turnaround and Your your pastries are supposed to be of Legendary quality and that's why we've come here. We expect that you may be the only person who could fulfill such an order in time Yes, yes, very good.
01:36:01 [DM (Aarya)] Okay. Well, you know what dear why don't you come on in and we can discuss the details?
01:36:07 [Sildir (Tris)] Sure, great. Yeah, I mean, is it okay if I bring my my friends in with me? We would love to see kind of the facilities and what you do and we can make some decisions on what kind of order will Of course come on in and great She'll step step to the sides and beckon you all to enter the premises we do have One who may come in and may stay out she's been kind of our Security detail here.
01:36:07 [Sildir (Tris)] I'll let her decide Ember. You feel free to do what you please
01:36:39 [DM (Aarya)] However, you feel comfortable dearie
01:36:43 [Sildir (Tris)] Thanks so much
01:36:47 [DM (Aarya)] As you shuffle on in you can see that this ground floor has been converted into a makeshift kitchen But the room is filthy baskets and old dishware are piled everywhere adding to the clutter is a peddler's cart a chicken coop a heavy wooden trunk and a Pretty wooden cabinet with flowers painted on its doors in addition to the clucking of children you hear or a clucking of chickens You hear toads croaking The sweet smell of pastries blends Horridly with a stench that burns your nostrils the the awful odor comes out of an open upright barrel in the center of the room Let's see warmth issues from a brick oven against one wall and a crumbling staircase ascends the wall across from it
01:37:38 [Sildir (Tris)] But dear oh What is I'm caught in a in a flurry of sense Morgana this is on one hand I can smell your wonderful pastries, but on the other I smell whatever is coming from that barrel.
01:37:38 [Sildir (Tris)] What's going on in here?
01:37:54 [DM (Aarya)] Oh That's just some secret ingredients. They have it. It makes the pastries what they are
01:38:02 [Sildir (Tris)] Okay, I've heard they're good, so I'll trust you for now, but This place is a bit of a you know I hate to be rude, but it's a little bit of a mess in here for for a kitchen I mean we would like you know potentially to have a long-term business operation with you and if you I mean if this is how you run your shop we may have to reconsider though if you can clean up or Maybe let us take a closer look at how clean things actually are show us how clean things actually are
01:38:35 [DM (Aarya)] We'd be happy to proceed oh you're just precious aren't you you don't seem to understand what it takes to run a business like this There's quite a lot of moving parts around here And I'm sure there's there's quite a bit of clutter, but you can't you can't argue the quality of the product.
01:38:35 [DM (Aarya)] Can you?
01:38:51 [Sildir (Tris)] Is it like literally dirty in there, or is it just cluttered?
01:38:54 [DM (Aarya)] It's pretty cluttered Yeah, and there is like some grime like on the floor and like dirt and stuff Oh Or like the work surfaces clean like is the table clean for example like this is a hippo violation We're looking at it. I mean it doesn't really look that clean.
01:39:14 [Sildir (Tris)] It's like covered in a bunch of stuff Okay, so it's not it's not clean. Yeah Okay, well Boy, I don't know Would you mind if we do a quick inspection just to see if we can? Put a seal on this and and place the order Sure, but what would you like?
01:39:37 [Irredel (Sav)] really you have Records for example, but we could be a good thing to or normal practices a pricing model perhaps Hmm you seem to want to really I don't know the details here.
01:39:54 [DM (Aarya)] Don't you? Well, it's going to be a very large order Okay Well, I can't say that we get orders like this Often normally I come to the customers. It's not often that we have these guests come knocking not that I'm complaining It's I I think it's great.
01:39:54 [DM (Aarya)] That's you are all looking to place a large order Is there a number you had in mind? I'm sure we could arrange for something Yes Sometimes they pop off with tears Erdal what were the numbers on the the population of a locking?
01:40:36 [Irredel (Sav)] Well, that's also part of the question on average How many? Servings is there in one of your pies?
01:40:45 [DM (Aarya)] Well, they all individual can they be subdivided they are individually sized pies So one serving would be one pastry which would be good enough to satiate one person I See and are those the same between children and adult sizes I suppose you could say that yes, I Would say a children serving is quite fit for an adult as well.
01:41:11 [Irredel (Sav)] I See I see Well, I think we would need I think there's a couple hundred people in in the town. No
01:41:22 [Sildir (Tris)] At least who will be attending the festival I'm sure some people will stay home so a couple hundred will be enough probably yeah I'll also
01:41:29 [DM (Aarya)] Also, as a side, I'll point out that while you guys are speaking to Morgana you you will notice that the staircase that's Mercurio's problem leads up to like other floors leading upwards and from the outside of the windmill You didn't know that there were like windows and a platform that you could climb for like other means of access if you so chose But yeah
01:41:58 [Sildir (Tris)] well Let's see here, so I will assign let's say Amber and Saturn oh if you could please go outside and just take an inspection of the outside premise including taking a look at the walls and their stability You seem quite concerned Yes, yes, I'm sorry, it's just you know we we run a tight ship We don't want to end up like you know hold all will be well, and then it's not right So we're really making sure that things are okay here
01:42:41 [Irredel (Sav)] He is he's a wonderful businessman where we're from and in fact perhaps this could turn into a joint venture one day
01:42:49 [Sildir (Tris)] Yes, you mentioned that I have no idea how to run a bakery unbeknownst to you. I have owned several and now I Won't lie my managers Were the lifeblood of that business, but I know a thing or two, and I know a good bakery when I see one I think you might have the makings of it. We just got a neat up a couple things So yeah, please inspectors go inspect the outside Let's see I'll say He will be placed in order a deception check for 200 roughly Let's just start there for a nice round number.
01:42:49 [Sildir (Tris)] We'll get you the final figure And here's my role Okay, well nice We're still in deceiving territory perhaps And if it wasn't obvious sending the inspectors outside was a little nod to the DM's comment we got About scaffolding and maybe climbing to the second story.
01:43:54 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, and as that's happening Let's go ahead and move to the second outside group so outside I see Ember Saturno and Mercurial I've come out So what are you trying to do out here?
01:44:13 [Irredel (Sav)] Do we want to go to second floor yeah
01:44:17 [DM (Aarya)] Is it on this side the platform you can see that there's like a there's like scaffolding that's like right above the door like the entrance to the place And it kind of like runs along like halfway around The circumference of the building basically and there are windows on the second floor with access from the scaffolding So if you wanted to climb up You can do like a quick acrobatics check.
01:44:44 [Sylalys (Cat)] Is this like a literal mail?
01:44:46 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, it is
01:44:53 [Mercurio (Gui)] I Inspect the the stability of the walls and the windows I'm going to also use I'm gonna use the beetle to Scan the windows and Particularly I'm trying to search for Any place that like looks like it might have you know, some stuff filed away like for the contract
01:45:24 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I'll say Okay So with that you are able to like climb up onto like the scaffolding that leads to the second floor You all can you also can see from the exterior? There is a third floor with with window access there as well. There's no platform on the exterior There is above that even further you can see like kind of like pretty much to the cracks the very top of the Windmill appears to have some kind of attic upstairs.
01:45:24 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah You'd have to climb up quite a bit further, but that'll be another check but from where you are You can like easily slip into the second floor. You can also like peer into the windows, too I'll peer into the windows first. Okay, so looking into the windows of the second or You can see here in the center of the room This small is like eight foot high chamber The most of it is occupied by a large millstone that is connected to a wooden gear shaft that rises through that through this through the ceiling in the center of the room the stone staircase that that coming from below continues to lead upward into a floor above Looking around you can also see let me double check. You can also see that there are like scattered like crates and chests and whatnot and Let me double check one thing At in at the base of the millstone you can see that there is a what appears to be like a pretty Heavily locked compartments of sorts Okay, it has like a pretty like sturdy looking steel padlock on it And I look into the crates first. You have to enter the floor.
01:47:35 [Saturno (Steph)] But yeah, you could Okay, can I enter the floor then?
01:47:39 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, are you gonna go in by yourself?
01:47:43 [Saturno (Steph)] Sit through the room over here. Do you want to come along or are you good? Yeah, I can come up Acrobatics, right?
01:47:49 [DM (Aarya)] You can do acrobatics. You can also attempt to do an athletics if you just want to like jump Okay, I'll try athletics Holy Falling through the floor moment that was a 21 athletics check Yeah, so Saturn oh Yeah, go ahead.
01:48:15 [Saturno (Steph)] Describe to me how you just like a leap up onto the landing leading into the second floor So I say I Jump high enough that like I could grab the legend and I do a pull-up Nice, and I do another one for style, but then I make it up Clay I quickly remember what happened at that tower. I was like, oh wait, okay, let me just go Just watch your back this time, okay Actually right now it is over Yeah, you would fall into some you fall into some feces or something. Fuck you, right?
01:49:06 [Mercurio (Gui)] I'm just gonna scout with my bird.
01:49:08 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, so what are you trying to do it? I I Wouldn't like fly around the tower Mm-hmm, and just like peer through the windows and see if I see anybody or anything of note Okay, let me see what okay And I'll cheer them on I'll be like, yeah, you guys are doing some great climbing So you have your bird like fly around the windows like up and down the building I'm you're kind of peering in on the second floor. You don't notice anything different from what?
01:49:08 [DM (Aarya)] Ember has already seen on the third floor. However You see dancing around the a thick wooden gearshaft in the center of this cramped circular room are two Ugly young women wearing silk shawls and gowns Made of some like strange looking like stitched material It doesn't really seem to be like cloth up there that it's ditched from You see long needles sticking out out of their tangled mops of black hair and these women are cackling with glee on The corner in like a rotting wooden closets.
01:49:08 [DM (Aarya)] There are three crates stacked atop each other and they they seem to have like little doors like set into them and Next to that closet is a pile of discarded clothing You also see a ladder climbing that climbs up into a wooden trap door against one like the far wall and You also see in this room a moldy bed with a tattered canopy Let's see on bedroom and then for the attic Kind of like having your bird circle around there aren't any real windows here There are like some cracks here and there that you might be able to peer through but you'd have to have like The bird like get in pretty close and potentially a risk being spotted by Whatever might be with him
01:51:20 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah, I'll risk it I'll I'll have my bird perch and and peer through okay a crack in the attic let's see
01:51:31 [DM (Aarya)] Let me double check what we got here Let's see, I didn't make some notes I just want to make sure I have this correct Okay, so peering into this Attic room you see here that this is a domed chamber filled with a bunch of old machinery There isn't a whole lot here You kind of see like some large like crates Made of like rusting metal like stacked about here and there There's a bunch of like loose ropes and barrels There is one such barrel up pushed off to this To the side and kind of peering in it appears to have the same kind of like Stinky liquid that you saw in the ground floor below
01:52:39 [Mercurio (Gui)] Okay I'm gonna warn Ember and Saturno be careful the third floor you might get you might be seen Mm-hmm
01:52:52 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, so then thumbs up that I'll go ahead and our Ember and Saturno are you guys answering the second floor? Oh No, yeah.
01:53:05 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yeah So as Mercurial who saw the other two hags Okay, oh my god, wait, I know what the song is reminding me of now What?
01:53:32 [DM (Aarya)] Wizard 101 Marley bone theme my gosh Okay, so I'm gonna activate the scene really quick It's only gonna be Ember and Saturno for this scene. So you to the rest of you won't be able to like see But yeah, you're on the second floor The description is much the same as what I described before Yeah So you'll see like scattered crates and such hidden about the grindstone is like in the middle of the room With like some pretty heavy looking gear is like operating it And at the base of that is a sturdy looking locked compartment
01:54:15 [Saturno (Steph)] Do I own the hacks?
01:54:18 [DM (Aarya)] You don't see anyone here but from the information that you got from Mercurial the the two other Hags are on the floor above you So you would have to be careful like not to make too much noise to avoid detection Hmm Yeah, maybe we could try to open that Heavy padlock. Yeah.
01:54:40 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, I'd be quiet about it.
01:54:42 [DM (Aarya)] It is locked. So you'd have to pick the lock with these tools Okay I have unlimited support for you Thank you Just don't do a backflip through the floor Saturno, I'm I'm struggling To catch that lock don't let that lock fall Yeah So, yeah you you like make short work of this lock You have your thieves tools out in your hands. You take the padlock in the other hand you like insert your lockpicks and like within like a second you have you hear a click and The padlock comes loose in your hands and the compartment is unlocked
01:55:55 [Saturno (Steph)] So I open it
01:56:01 [Mercurio (Gui)] Let's see
01:56:09 [DM (Aarya)] You find in here a rolled up Scroll it appears to be made from some kind of strange Parchments that has a weird texture on it as you like rub it with between your fingers I was about to get it see and You see written on this scroll is a bunch of text Written in like some kind of strange language of glyphs that you can't decipher
01:56:38 [Saturno (Steph)] Let's take it.
01:56:39 [Irredel (Sav)] Maybe it's a secret recipe probably um The happy patty here is good at translating. How about we give it to baby though and people can Hand it over to my career It's an idea Yeah, I'm a bird in the scene.
01:57:04 [DM (Aarya)] It's perfect So do you guys hanging it off to people?
01:57:09 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah Yeah, and I guess we'll see if there's anything else worth investigating here. Is there any more chest or?
01:57:17 [DM (Aarya)] Also really quick. Um, what languages do the two of you know, let me double-check I know espanol Thank You So you guys both know common ember knows thieves can't There's a Mercurio know anything funny now, I'm occurring doesn't know anything funny Me and me and that should both know Celestial right Celestial. Yeah.
01:57:17 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah. Yeah, you guys know Celestial This so yeah So turn now you like look over the scroll as well. It's not written in any language, you know, so it's definitely not Celestial And you're handing it off to pepito Yes, okay So handing it off to pepito and pepito flies down and brings it over to Mercurio now for the two of you.
01:57:17 [DM (Aarya)] Are you guys gonna stay on this floor or what's going on?
01:58:29 [Saturno (Steph)] Is there anything else that we can investigate You can try to roll for something Okay Investigation. Yeah, I'd like to see if maybe we could hear any of if there is a conversation above us or something Okay.
01:58:50 [DM (Aarya)] Um, yeah, go ahead get any perception for that. Okay perception Wonderful 18 perception from Saturno and 21 investigation from ember So ember with your investigation check you kind of like search around the room. I'm looking through the crates and barrels that are scattered about You don't really find anything of interest, however, you do find like in the scattered barrels You do find some like some like strange flower It doesn't appear to be made From grains.
01:58:50 [DM (Aarya)] It has like an odd like chalky texture as you like sift through it and You also find in some other crates like they're like some like rotting produce Some business and this is it like ingredients. Yes, presumably And Saturno with your 18 perception check You can kind of hear like you can overhear like a little bit of the conversation Happening below. Um, you don't make out anything.
01:58:50 [DM (Aarya)] You just hear like the familiar voices of Mercurio and Irdel and a little bit of Solalus speaking to Maganta and from above you hear two other voices presumably from the hags that's Mercurio scouted out with his bird and you hear them. You don't really make out what they're saying, but they appear to be like Singing and taunting something or someone and you also hear a faint whimpering of coming from like Young sounding voices Just a don't know Well, I tell ember I feel like they're Bullying someone up there sounds like Someone younger than spring.
02:01:00 [Saturno (Steph)] I don't know if we could take them on. Do you think we could take We should relay the info first Pausing for one second.
02:01:11 [Sildir (Tris)] What have you guys found so far up there a scroll?
02:01:15 [Saturno (Steph)] There's those two Yes, and we don't know what's on the scroll yet there's two hags upstairs and it seems like they're bullying like I would assume a child or It's a young like person whimpering so Scrolls on the way to Mercurio already.
02:01:34 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah.
02:01:35 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah. Look who you has a scroll.
02:01:38 [DM (Aarya)] You just say you're muted um, I was just gonna say whoever has the scroll currently you can try to do like an investigation or maybe like an icon check if you'd like Yeah, so I think I have the scroll right yeah, yes An 11 I kind of check With an 11 arcana, you can tell that there's some magic imbued onto this girl, but you don't really know anything beyond that All right.
02:02:10 [Mercurio (Gui)] I have something else. I'm gonna do them. Okay, I Have a ritual caster, baby Okay, I'm gonna Instant ritual cast identify.
02:02:10 [Mercurio (Gui)] All right
02:02:24 [DM (Aarya)] Wait Um, yeah, so you are able to identify this scroll this is a coven contract It is written in abyssal Which isn't a language that you're able to decipher so you wouldn't be able to read the names of the the hags on this contract But you can also tell that the parchment itself Appears to be made from human flesh
02:02:52 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah I bet that chalk is Gross or ashes true All right Knowing that I'm going to take Run over to the bushes. Mm-hmm. The lady doctor was hiding in Okay with the with the contract Okay, so lady doctor sees you rush over Contract in hand and she looks to you you were able to find it Looks like it So, yeah, how quickly can you do your work?
02:03:37 [DM (Aarya)] Let me see that here and she's gonna take the contract from you and as soon as she touches the contract she kind of like you see her mouth like curl and disgust and She says this is made from ah, never mind Let me see Okay, so reading she reads over the contract It seems like a lady doctor doesn't does know and is able to read abyssal And she scans over the contract and she looks she you see her focus like go down towards the bottom and she She mutters under her breath Morgantha storm reaver belladonna sunbeam and a falia worm wiggle All right. I have everything I need with this contract and their true names. I should be able to Cast a spell that will bind them to this plane The spell itself will take me about ten minutes to cast and once it is done They will know that they are bound here.
02:03:37 [DM (Aarya)] So the jig will be up All right Go join the others I Can maintain the spell for a one hour? So whatever business you have with them, you'll have to conduct in that time We make it through that many rounds of combat I'll shit my pants And just a moment Should I do you want me to begin the ritual right away or do you want me to start your signal or how do you want to proceed with this I Think there's no time to lose.
02:05:36 [Mercurio (Gui)] Let's start it right away.
02:05:38 [DM (Aarya)] Very well and just in case You'll see Lady Vector like wave her hand and you'll see appear on her shoulder an imp and She'll say to you This is my familiar. Majesto. I'll have him keep an eye on you all while you're inside and if there's any needs to send a quick message or Communicate anything you can do so through him and he'll relay it to me.
02:06:13 [Mercurio (Gui)] All right I'll pick up the little infant.
02:06:15 [DM (Aarya)] I'll drop him on my other shoulder Okay As soon as you drop as he drops onto your shoulder you see Majesto turn invisible So you can no longer see him, but you do still feel his weights like perched on your shoulder Okay so While that's happening Ember into turn. Oh, what are you guys trying to do upstairs? Are you guys gonna stay up here?
02:06:15 [DM (Aarya)] Are you gonna like try to ascend or you're gonna come back down and join the others?
02:06:59 [Saturno (Steph)] you think I Don't know. I think we should join the others because we don't really know how Powerful the two are upstairs.
02:07:09 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah, we should consult the others downstairs Back up depending on quietly not fall a story Okay Yeah, so you guys are like climbing back down the way you came from Yeah, do we need to do anything for that?
02:07:29 [DM (Aarya)] Or yeah, I'll say give me the same checks as before either athletics or acrobatics 15 athletics from Saturno. That'll do it and 15 acrobatics from Ember so Ember you're able to like pretty and nimbly like climb down in much the same fashion that you ascend it and Saturno you simply jump off the ledge and land solidly on your feet
02:07:57 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, I am I Locked my knees The only way to go down We didn't die this time
02:08:07 [DM (Aarya)] Look at this
02:08:09 [Saturno (Steph)] I'm trying to get out of here, though
02:08:11 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I got you so Everyone should be back in the same scene now, right?
02:08:18 [Sildir (Tris)] So everyone has like so as I was saying you cannot possibly See the full value of traveling and tasting different pastries in different regions until you've tried it You really must get out there and try the pastries and other towns I mean start with Barovia village
02:08:39 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, I'm sure they have their own share of tasty treats there But nothing in these lands can compare to the the wondrous delicacies that I that I have here. I'm sure That may be but you can always make them even better Augment them with other techniques from other regions I'm just saying you might not understand an old woman's wisdom, but I spend many many years perfecting my recipe and my craft There is simply nothing else in the world like it Do you typically use when you're proofing your dough?
02:08:39 [DM (Aarya)] Oh Well, I typically tend to you. Oh, I see what you're trying to do there.
02:09:16 [Sildir (Tris)] No, you won't get my secrets from me young lady Mercurial you made it back and oh look I see. Okay. So how the inspection go Do you mind if we stop scores Scores But there are some details to mull over.
02:09:35 [Mercurio (Gui)] I do think we're going to have some difficulties with the insurance So the ownership insurance of this is going to be a bit difficult I'm not sure.
02:09:46 [DM (Aarya)] I quite understand the scale of the deal that you're trying to make here. You just want my pastries. Is that correct?
02:09:52 [Sildir (Tris)] Right, right. Yeah, we're evaluating you for a long-term contract though And and what what was it? Was it a faulty rafter or was the tile wrong?
02:09:52 [Sildir (Tris)] What what's going on? What's the insurance gonna complain about?
02:10:06 [Mercurio (Gui)] wrong tiling fungal growth underneath the tiles Seems though there's probably going to be some some popping off of some tiles once those mushrooms grow a little bigger. There's Mold in a few places.
02:10:21 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, these are just minor details.
02:10:23 [Mercurio (Gui)] It doesn't impede the quality of my work at all I think no, no, it's definitely a fixer-upper But you know We're going we're going to have to invest some some capital into this in order to make it a real Business venture if you're trying to renovate my my humble windmill, you're not going to expect me to pay for all of this Are you no? No, of course, that would be just we would have to work that out in the deals of the partnership You know, which is long term
02:10:49 [DM (Aarya)] I
02:10:50 [Irredel (Sav)] Think for example, but we'd be lending you all the credit you would have to put any money on the line
02:10:56 [DM (Aarya)] Well, if it's a deal you're looking to make well, I I'm quite I'm quite interested in making a deal Go ahead and roll me deception one of you

02:24:28 [Sylalys (Cat)] Well, it's the words
02:24:30 [DM (Aarya)] Until the spell ends one willing creature you touch is protected against creatures that are aberrations less of elemental faith means are undead the friction in the several benefits creature of those types have disadvantage on attack was against the targets and the target also can't be possessed or Gained the charmed or fighting conditions from them.
02:24:30 [DM (Aarya)] So who you're gonna put that on? my And this is concentration, right?

Okay, so if you got an 11 again, and that doesn't happen again Yeah, sorry We have homework due today type B. But yeah, I did roll a second.
02:32:36 [Sildir (Tris)] I'll have it Did I roll I roll with advantage that time actually so the 23 is the role for that one I rolled with advantage the first time.

02:34:42 [DM (Aarya)] Let me just double-check because that is that is a notable distinction with hold person, but I'm gonna double-check
02:34:52 [Sildir (Tris)] That is maybe I will say but I respect it
02:34:56 [DM (Aarya)] They look human Yeah, there's like the classifications are funny like that
02:35:11 [Sylalys (Cat)] It's like that in Baldur's Gate, it's really annoying because you'll see like the most human looking person Actually, it's a fake so you can't do it
02:35:20 [DM (Aarya)] All right Let me okay So against like Yeah Other enemy types have humanoid like explicitly written in their stat block and The hags do not have that.
02:35:49 [Irredel (Sav)] They just have all right All right, I guess it is not humanoid then If I hadn't said that I wouldn't let you do it.
02:36:03 [Sylalys (Cat)] I like it's gonna be too easy We're all level five now, yeah, I can jump.
02:36:12 [Irredel (Sav)] All right. Sorry.
02:36:13 [DM (Aarya)] Well, I need a moment to famous last words You know, it's 6v3 so the odds are in your favor Surely, right Maybe Wacktor should come on in.
02:36:32 [Sildir (Tris)] I'm just saying DM. Okay, have her start walking. That's what Wacktor would do Character.
02:36:32 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, she probably got a whole concentration.
02:36:41 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yeah, I guess if she breaks concentration they can just fuck off
02:36:45 [Irredel (Sav)] Okay, so I'm going to return myself that fucking spell slot and I will go ahead and cast guiding bolt I'm sorry
02:36:55 [DM (Aarya)] these bolts, I Will say that since that's a rain spell if you're gonna cast that someone directly in front of you, it'll have disadvantage Okay, yeah towards this this one, okay, you can do that
02:37:14 [Mercurio (Gui)] Wait, so it's which one are we hitting?
02:37:18 [Sylalys (Cat)] The mummers 19 heads.

02:37:58 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah Oh Seems like with silver and I guess radiant the next attack against Marjantha will have advantage Yeah, okay All right, so we'll put their spine into it, please.
02:38:14 [DM (Aarya)] Is that your turn?
02:38:16 [Irredel (Sav)] Yes, that is that is my turn. That's all I can do
02:38:21 [DM (Aarya)] And let's see what she's got what kind of funny stuff Um, that would be a bit too spicy All right, we're gonna do Maganda is going to turn to Saturno and
02:39:04 [Saturno (Steph)] A
02:39:06 [DM (Aarya)] Phantasmal killer So turn I'll go ahead and give me a wisdom saving throw DC 14, I'm very wise
02:39:29 [Saturno (Steph)] A $20 Amazon gift card
02:39:37 [DM (Aarya)] Oh So with a not 20 wisdom saving throw I'll say You you feel the effects of this spell clawing at your minds, but you are able to like steal your resolve you remember the stakes here you look to your friends and With their combined strength you're able to resist the effects of this spell Yeah, we're a friendship literally, all right McCoy.
02:39:37 [DM (Aarya)] Oh your chance.
02:40:14 [Mercurio (Gui)] All righty I'm going to Wait, what is the range? Yes, it's a cube perfect Cubular I'm I'm going to How do I flavor it, I don't know I'm gonna cast hypnotic pattern, okay Mercurial starts throwing his hands and spinning them in the air and a bunch of pretty colors Although the toads the toads fly out from wherever they are and their eyes start like spinning and they start hypno toting Yeah Hypno toting the the hags
02:41:12 [DM (Aarya)] So here you have some fun, this is against one person
02:41:16 [Mercurio (Gui)] It's against everybody.
02:41:17 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, so the whole the whole thing the whole all the hags. Yeah, 30-foot cube Okay I think that'll fill up the room I'm going ahead in response to that Ophalia is going to cast Counterspell No, I think I have to roll this Your spell is third level third level so she has to roll 13 And that's not very hard. Oh So she failed she felt the counter spell.
02:41:17 [DM (Aarya)] Okay. All right, so all of them will make this Wisdom or was it charisma? Wisdom saving throw.
02:42:07 [Mercurio (Gui)] Wisdom.
02:42:07 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, and also You note that The hags seem to be particularly resistant to magic effects. So they will be making the saving throw with advantage Motherfuckers, they're so OP So that was a 14 I believe that fails so Ophalia is is it charmed? Charmed yeah, okay Charmed or frightened.
02:42:07 [DM (Aarya)] Let me go. Yeah charm. Okay.
02:42:07 [DM (Aarya)] Let me this way for me to mark this charm Hey, does it show real? No Yeah, I have it applied but it doesn't like Show Anything that when I hover her somehow, whatever. I'll just keep track of that and then Bella will also make the same Advantage She fails.
02:42:07 [DM (Aarya)] She's charmed.
02:43:16 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh my gosh, and now Morgantha So they all have the paralyzed type deal or no Holy okay Oh Shit okay, everybody stop don't hit them Don't hit them.
02:43:37 [Mercurio (Gui)] They're paralyzed like they they they like they're not paralyzed, but they can't do anything Well, I've concentrated on the spell Okay
02:43:48 [Sildir (Tris)] Is this an insta-crit situation Still or no, so
02:43:54 [DM (Aarya)] Each creature in the okay They're trying for the duration while charm the creature has incapacitated condition and a speed of 0 the spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or someone else uses an action to Shake the creature out of it stupid so this means For you have a minute you have advantage on any check to interact socially with them and While they're incapacitated as well They can't speak they can't concentrate on spells and They can't take any actions bonus actions or reactions it doesn't give you autocrat Well, you can use this to wait out the the timer yeah
02:44:38 [Sildir (Tris)] True, let's wait out the timer.
02:44:41 [Saturno (Steph)] Well, please.
02:44:42 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, I'm sorry doesn't say we don't have time to go upstairs You can you can Yeah, yeah, you can move them too. Let's move them.
02:44:54 [Sildir (Tris)] Let's like Tie them up. Let's do like everything we can That is not like hitting them So like we have a minute so I'm gonna I'm gonna say let's move them all in the same corner together Fire me Tied tie them up. I'm actually gonna switch to a silvered short sword that I have while we're doing this Okay While you're doing that Let's go So I think that's the move just put them all together tie them up and if you have a silver weapon pull it out and Then maybe we all prepare like a crazy flurry of attacks for when we know they're gonna wake up I Think holy water does it end up being underwhelming or no?
02:45:47 [Saturno (Steph)] It's radiant damage.
02:45:49 [Mercurio (Gui)] It's a 2d a radiant damage Also, how does it work if like if you hit them with an AOE and then you hit the the mom then it's double damage Wait, yeah I don't know if the damage applies back to the mom if we if we hit the daughters I don't know if we've done that yet.
02:46:13 [Sylalys (Cat)] I Think we have Okay, so if we stack them all and then we do a we damage it's triple damage No, but what it's like times six damage or some shit cuz like Wouldn't wouldn't let's so let's say they take six damage The mom takes the end up thinking Three so then the mom does the mom take an extra one or two?
02:46:41 [Irredel (Sav)] No, I don't know where it because well, but like okay, so they all take six damage Right because they're all in the same area. The mom takes six the two daughters each take six then Each daughter would take an extra six, but the mom would take an extra twelve from each of the daughters
02:47:03 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, oh they all share the damage though, did it not yeah
02:47:07 [Sylalys (Cat)] Only one way
02:47:10 [Sildir (Tris)] So I think they all take like if we did six damage to one of them the other two would take six damage each and Then if we did this to another yeah, we would end up being at a total of 12 damage each
02:47:22 [Mercurio (Gui)] No, we would be it's just triple damage. It's just true. Yeah, it is triple damage shit, but oh no It's only triple damage Yeah, I wish Okay, so Yeah, let's do it stack them up stack them up and tie them up.
02:47:22 [Mercurio (Gui)] Okay, so where are you trying to move them? So like this Oh Okay, and then we can all so we all can do a prepared action right now Yeah, so it'll you know cycle back to me Ten turns later it cycles back to me, but we all have a prepared.
02:48:24 [Sildir (Tris)] I'm actually gonna I'm actually gonna drop this combat Just so you guys can like move freely and position yourselves All right, and then once you like start the attack again, we'll reroll initiatives So I switched my Weapon I'm gonna prepare an attack action On the one closest to me which has the mark and has the valve enmity I Guess I should prepare to throw the holy water on the mother.
02:49:01 [Saturno (Steph)] I Also have holy water to just realize Okay So, I'm you know, I guess I should take like a step back for that Look if I'm too close or it does that not matter You just can't be directly in front of them.
02:49:17 [DM (Aarya)] Otherwise, we'll have disadvantage actually, you know, that's kind of dumb in this scenario You can put this in wherever you want for that. I'll let you do it.
02:49:22 [Saturno (Steph)] Okay, cuz I'd like to be like, yeah here ideally Yeah, we're doing shots ladies I Like cross the moon short bow wouldn't be ideal in this right because they're not so long range.
02:49:42 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah You have a silvered sword, right? Yeah You can use that and then immediately step back after you strike, okay, I'll do that Um Do we have any AOE damage?
02:50:03 [Irredel (Sav)] I don't have any AOE.
02:50:05 [Saturno (Steph)] That's uh, like radiant damage Or so I know it has a halberd which cleaves.
02:50:11 [DM (Aarya)] I think oh nice.
02:50:13 [Sylalys (Cat)] It's not it's not silver Do we have like enchant? Weapon, whatever. I don't know what the might be a cleric spell.
02:50:28 [Mercurio (Gui)] I Yes, it's her no you can do your celestial revelation thing, you know We have one that does radiant damage but it'll hurt us too but there's one that does I Am gonna rip a divine smite on my person.
02:50:50 [Sylalys (Cat)] Hey, I also have holy water Does someone because I have silver weapons someone not have anything that they want to just throw a fucking holy pot Have holy water, but I'm gonna chill on it because you guys Know I don't think we have the option to take Cleric and Lord. Yeah. Yeah.
02:51:15 [Sildir (Tris)] I wonder I wonder if we're overdoing it. Is it possible? Fucking around no, I'm not fucking around.
02:51:24 [Irredel (Sav)] I don't think we're overdoing it I Celestial revelation, I guess I asked him. What is it? Let me read spirit guardians.
02:51:33 [Mercurio (Gui)] You'll get a pen pocket to cast You'll get a flat three radiant damage on all your hits I think Okay, so I got a drag it to here to drag it to here.
02:51:46 [Sylalys (Cat)] Oh Oh nice I've never done that before and that was interesting The way well, oh you did the trade.
02:51:53 [Irredel (Sav)] Okay All right, I'm thinking it might be best for me to just do Guiding bolts on one of them and then you know What a bullet hole.
02:52:06 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yeah Somehow gained apart from anything.
02:52:09 [Mercurio (Gui)] I'm just gonna delete to They gonna do inner radiance Did you keep our initiative That's the one that harms us Yeah, oh cuz it's all creatures each creature, yep, it's all creatures So you should do either heavenly wings or necrotic shroud, but either way just the base Give yeah, I knew the base just gives us radiant damage Torpor efficiency bonus.
02:52:41 [Saturno (Steph)] Okay. I'll do heavenly wing son.
02:52:46 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh We all know we want to do sounds like it Yeah All right.
02:52:51 [DM (Aarya)] All right
02:52:53 [Sylalys (Cat)] Yeah, go ahead and let her out of the mercurial can we pick our initiative since we you can choose the order that you act
02:53:00 [DM (Aarya)] in terms of like doing your like Like surprise attacks right now action, but once everyone has moved then we'll do a regular initiative
02:53:10 [Sildir (Tris)] All right, so can we say that I already charged my sword with the divine smite or like I already use divine smite yeah, yeah
02:53:18 [Saturno (Steph)] I do the celestial relation now or like after tech because it lasts for a minute
02:53:26 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah, you can just say you activate it like the term before
02:53:31 [DM (Aarya)] I'll also say that in the time that you guys are preparing all of this lady vodka has finished her ritual. So Majesto will inform you mercurial from your shoulder that The ritual is active and Like What does You guys are like children, but I need to like You guys you guys can't make you laugh if I'm gonna do this Fuck I feel like there's pressure on me. Okay, we're not watching I Mercurial lady vodka said the spell is ready Let's go, let's go All right, everybody on your marks get set go All right.
02:54:53 [Sildir (Tris)] So who's going first? Maybe the holy water people. Yeah All right, holy water people throw your holy water who's that the holy water you've been a OE I Don't know hold on it says target one creature.
02:55:09 [Mercurio (Gui)] So nah But what if I had them really close together?
02:55:14 [Sildir (Tris)] They were Back come up.
02:55:16 [DM (Aarya)] What if I pour it in my mouth and I you know That's a we I make it holy mist Okay Okay So who's going first I Could go first. Okay.
02:55:44 [Mercurio (Gui)] Yeah, I guess it's we're knowing them me.
02:55:45 [DM (Aarya)] That's a deck save she fails And then I'll do videos, that's a save Yeah, so Saturn I go ahead roll your damage so that was I didn't see anything.
02:56:11 [Saturno (Steph)] It was eight.
02:56:12 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, so that applies To All of them and If they like save that if they succeed the save it doesn't apply damage. How's that? I don't think so.
02:56:35 [Irredel (Sav)] Okay All right, so Saturnos went through Mercurio's didn't who's next I can blast the guy didn't bolt and then give the next I mean, I guess kind of advantage anyway We have like we have advantage right like we're kind of getting a free shot in You don't have advantage on this. It's just a regular Okay, cuz did anyone get the advantage from?
02:57:15 [DM (Aarya)] No, they didn't so you do have advantage on this. Okay I'm gonna cast it at the second level 16 really 16 That doesn't hit Yeah All right. Well, I do it next person.
02:57:15 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, yeah. So yeah, Iridell charges up a guiding bolt she aims it in the direction of Maganta but at the last moments, it seems her nerves get the better of her and the shot goes wide and this is unfortunately Um, but this I don't think yeah that still consumes the advantage.
02:58:01 [Sylalys (Cat)] Okay, who's next I Can go Okay You Couldn't in and out a bit for me.
02:58:23 [Saturno (Steph)] I Want now, oh you're good.
02:58:25 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, so that hits go ahead and roll your damage and also do your sneak attack damage I Think so seven And then the sneak attack 14 so 21 total damage on each of them that would be Let me see if I can change this battle music I'm getting kind of tired of this All right, who's next Uh Who hasn't gone it's me.
02:59:37 [Sildir (Tris)] So all this in Saturn.
02:59:38 [Saturno (Steph)] Oh, I've gone.

I Can switch to what you can switch to your bow right now?

03:00:24 [DM (Aarya)] Oh 16 really with advantage. Unfortunately that does not hit All right.
03:00:29 [Sildir (Tris)] I'll try again 22 Great So It's gonna be a lot of damage So damage this plus one d6 so that's Well the start and then it's also a smite Second level So that's gonna be 3d 8 plus 1d 8 for the fiend or undead deal. So 48 total Yeah Hopefully, it's a nice roll. We'll see.
03:00:29 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh my gosh that roll was ass or did it roll? Hold on Let me see that was us but it was a 13 Damn all that all of that for this. Anyways, it's 25 damage.

03:01:53 [Sylalys (Cat)] Um, yes, I'm loving and With my bonus action, can I use a rapier attack from my rock offhand?
03:02:46 [DM (Aarya)] Um, is that thing you have to weapon fighting?
03:02:49 [Sylalys (Cat)] Oh, is that a feet you need? Yeah. Yeah, I did not think this through Because the rapier isn't a light weapon so you'd have to have like a feet to be able to do Yeah, so he's a fucking spell swap or nothing Okay, no, that's it then all right and with that we will resume oh Also, it was yeah, it was silver so yeah I'm going full force.
03:03:39 [Sildir (Tris)] All right, let's get some initiatives in there No, I got a 19 a 17 24 damn we did pretty good our initiative rolls Just we just needs to turn Did one hug not roll. No, they're okay. They're mine.
03:04:14 [DM (Aarya)] That's all right Let's get it.
03:04:16 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh, wait, so it's nice Do you see what? Oh? No, there's yeah, all three hugs are old They rolled good to it.
03:04:24 [Sylalys (Cat)] What the fuck? All right, I will target to do what's her name Morgana? Yeah, she's in the middle Morgana and I have an advantage because of my thingy stingy Morgana's at a payphone Did I I don't see the roll Their role That wasn't me I'm just gonna put that out there The job I liked it, but I wouldn't aggrandize my own joke.
03:05:02 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, never what'd you say a cat?
03:05:06 [Sylalys (Cat)] I Didn't see a roll. Did y'all see I did not see a roll roll it again Okay, maybe I need to click on the like icon again Advantage Let's go Okay, so damage seven And then extra, okay, wait, let me read mastery and if you hit it for you then deal damage you have advantage on your next attack roll Before the end of the next thing so I get advantage on this one, too. Yeah, my understanding.
03:05:06 [Sylalys (Cat)] That's good.
03:05:47 [Sildir (Tris)] Okay, that's fucking busted 23 All silvers and with that damage they are they are all now bloodied Gonna put this in the YouTube trickshot compilation I think she's just thinking but yeah, she was fuckin usual tricks are just not working Got me good The Skyrim references are flowing All right, I'm gonna try and cast spirit guardians.
03:07:25 [Sylalys (Cat)] Oh nice Spell for me good. That's well, but at least I wasn't bald or gay.
03:07:38 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah, that's Okay, holy Hitting them with the monkey right now Yes, that's the entire room and Damn I got my guardians with me So you can designate Creatures to be unaffected by it. So all the members of the party are gonna be unaffected by it. Everyone else's speed is half and They must make a wisdom saving throw when they end their turn within my little Guardian bubble and then they can take 3d a radiant damage Dude that's gonna be a times 48 damage multiplier after image on days for sure for sure.
03:08:26 [Mercurio (Gui)] Oh Wait half damage when they save oh, but yeah, it's just crazy. No matter what damage
03:08:34 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah, I'm actually gonna scoot back over here
03:08:41 [DM (Aarya)] All right, put them in the paper shredder and now it's gonna be Bella's turn and she's gonna say she doesn't like that you have this up Do they not take damage right now it takes it happens when they end their turn
03:09:07 [Irredel (Sav)] But their speed is halved When the emanation enters the creature space, so I guess I'd be by casting it that entered the space
03:09:20 [DM (Aarya)] And you know what?
03:09:25 [Irredel (Sav)] Let's say it does say whatever creature enters the emanation.
03:09:38 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah They entered it.
03:09:41 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I think it does proc right now. I think you're right. Okay, so let's have them do their wisdom saves And this is a magical effect.
03:09:41 [DM (Aarya)] So they have advantage on the saving throws.
03:09:51 [Mercurio (Gui)] It's on.
03:09:52 [Irredel (Sav)] Yeah, it's on their turn when they get to their turn So is it now or they at the end of their turn Because like the emanation like comes out towards them Yeah already, which I feel like that counts as like damn it's both now and the end of their turn.
03:10:10 [DM (Aarya)] Okay How about that was a save?
03:10:15 [Mercurio (Gui)] Oh, they don't move out. Yeah.
03:10:16 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah out Morgana fails and then Afalia saves. Okay, so two saves and one fail. So that's gonna be Um Roll that roll regular damage actually But how do you roll this for each one?
03:10:16 [DM (Aarya)] I guess I do.
03:10:38 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah roll it three times Yes Rank that three times soldier boy 16 of Fahlia and that's gonna be half Eight for everybody or well, how does that work? Yeah, it's radiant Eight for everybody Yeah, and you get a you get a eat Okay, and then do the next one Okay, it's not gonna let me roll it up there.
03:11:15 [DM (Aarya)] So I'm just gonna Where are you rolling it?
03:11:25 [Sildir (Tris)] I'm trying to just like roll it is a bit 3d8 it should work Slash our 3d8 I trolled you.
03:11:35 [Mercurio (Gui)] I'm sorry I'm not a valid chat message companion click slash slash our space 3d8.
03:11:46 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah I think you meant more again, but yeah, yeah And then the last one What We're getting trolled on these days today back at All right, you know what thanks for doing some But this happens at the end of each of their turn so True square up ladies. All right get hurt. All right, so Bella's turn Can I give you a recommendation no, she should die right now Um, I'm gonna have Bella cast a funny little number called Magic missile Hey, and she's gonna cast it Cooper she's gonna cast this at least fifth level So that's gonna be Four extra darts, so seven total darts chill Damn, okay.
03:11:46 [DM (Aarya)] Chill out No And it's gonna be at Iridel Can I use my intercept I Think that works on Melee damage. Is that correct?
03:14:07 [Saturno (Steph)] I Think it is just melee. Yep
03:14:10 [DM (Aarya)] Iridel you take 21 damage And you have to make a concentration save So that's gonna be 21 I think it's a save Well, you know, it's it's 10 it's gonna be like it's either 10 or You keep up the concentration, let me double check that rule It just keeps damming my funky so they can't focus 10 or half the damage you do it And then
03:14:49 [Sildir (Tris)] I'd like to think that's the sound of the magic missile
03:14:54 [DM (Aarya)] I think the magic missile would be more like so Bella ends her turn and then she's going to take Actually the saving throw again That was
03:15:09 [Sildir (Tris)] Advantage saving throw.
03:15:10 [DM (Aarya)] Oh, I did it as Iridel. Whoops. I'm not supposed to do that.
03:15:14 [Sildir (Tris)] Let me try it again Oh 14 that does not save I think yeah, so go ahead and roll your 3d8 damage Yippee That's why you can you also can click the d8 button three times and then hit roll I was trying to do and it just didn't work.
03:15:38 [Saturno (Steph)] Sometimes it doesn't work. Yeah. Yeah With a rope it Okay Okay, I'll I'll say that I did the celestial Revelation and I chose the Necrotic crowd necrotic shroud doesn't do anything to anyone.
03:15:38 [Saturno (Steph)] It just makes them do a charisma saving throw Or be frightened or they'll be so yeah, so I Think that's fine. Like in terms of I'm not hurting anyone and then The at the end of the turn I think ideal extra damage equal to my proficiency bonus And the extra damage type is necrotic or radiant. So I'm gonna pick radiant Okay, I'm gonna swing With my Halberd of justice.
03:15:38 [Saturno (Steph)] Okay at the mother. Okay, try to I'm not seeing any rolls like on the screen.
03:17:00 [DM (Aarya)] We don't have that one anywhere We don't have this one Got it guys Okay, and that gets applied to all of them, I hope you're rounding up But no have Yeah, I You can run down and then I Do it again Okay. Also, hold on. Yeah, go ahead So because you have cleave on the halberd When you hit a creature you can make another attack roll against a second one.
03:17:00 [DM (Aarya)] That's right next to it Okay, then I'll hit That one takes less damage though, you don't add your strength modifier to it. So it's just like raw whatever the damage Got it Okay, let me pull that up.
03:18:04 [Saturno (Steph)] Okay, I just do roll this For Let's just do this in a minus for it so six, I mean, yeah, he's sick and then And then I will do the Three necrotic, I mean, sorry three radiant damage From the celestial revelation because it's my proficiency and then that's my turn You saw that I do you have action search Okay Actors we we call it from the top, right? Okay You can just roll your extra attack first and then you can do your accent to it and do whatever you want there Okay, hold up Okay, so I'm gonna start my attack again Okay brother deal Okay, so now I'm an action surge Hit the same button and hope for the best.
03:19:16 [DM (Aarya)] Okay, 23 that hits roll damage And then roll your cleave or that you how does your how does your radiant thing work Is that like on all sources or just once? Once okay, it's just once.
03:19:44 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, and then do your cleave attack Yes, so I'm gonna just do the same thing in minus for it that's cool Tank That was a crit Okay So I'm gonna create is it cool?
03:20:02 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, you can create and also that is for it Yeah, roll your crit damage and then minus for it. Yeah. Well, I guess it would be Is it my sleep?
03:20:02 [DM (Aarya)] I think so. Yeah. Yeah, cuz that's not what the modifier.
03:20:02 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, you're right. You're right 16 and that gets high Still because it's not so right foot. So eight damage to all of them damn Okay, so turn us a blender right now and also since it wins since you crit You proc your halberd of justice effects so you can Choose to either gain inspiration or grant inspiration to one of your allies.
03:20:41 [Saturno (Steph)] Oh Grant Inspiration to Iridyll. All right, and also as you're doing that go ahead describe to me how you're inspiring Iridyll in this moment I'm I'm literally swinging like I'm going in circles like in WoW I'm doing the spin to win Move and I look at Iridyll and I give her a thumbs up As I'm spinning and holding my halberd of justice.
03:21:05 [Irredel (Sav)] Oh, yeah, that is pretty inspiring I Saw that shit, I would be like Iridyll is reminded that there's joy in the world In a glum mood and this has raised your spirits And in fact all of her spirit guardians give out a resounding yippee Nice that's so good.
03:21:32 [Saturno (Steph)] Okay, and then that's my turn.
03:21:35 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh Maybe All right, see how this goes I'll use my silvered short sword, okay, I bet they didn't see that coming Pack with advantage 24 and I'll go ahead and let a divine smite Fly on this one Or well, let me do the damage first and then plus d6 Okay, so it's nine and then divine smite incoming. It will do The first level that's fine So this will only be 3d8 instead of 4d8 Jeez Do we have to roll a 1 on every d8 roll out there anyways Yeah, so it's 19 total Nice and then I do hit another attack. So sorry, it's a little bit clicky A little bit more clicky my clunky.
03:21:35 [Sildir (Tris)] All right Okay, so I'm assuming that mrs Yeah, how horrible are they looking are they like about to die they're pretty fucked up I'm not gonna do inspiration. We're good.
03:23:44 [DM (Aarya)] I'm gonna so now it's a polyus turn Let's see, what do we got actually give me one sec, I'm gonna take another potty pick
03:23:56 [Mercurio (Gui)] And you'll be pissing Okay
03:24:04 [Irredel (Sav)] That's like the ITI test schedule
03:24:10 [Sildir (Tris)] They gave Kia a part-time about the diaper SMH my head it's
03:24:17 [Irredel (Sav)] Oh, I
03:24:34 [DM (Aarya)] Will say that I've had a combined a liter of water and coke zero while we've been doing this
03:24:40 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, you know staying hydrated it to have been making piss this session I Think all of us.
03:24:48 [DM (Aarya)] Let's see. Let's see. All right, so let me pause the music here So as these three hags are standing before you battered and beaten Having been shredded.
03:24:48 [DM (Aarya)] So finally by Saturno Morgantha will turn to you and she says wait now, let's let's hold on. I'm I'm sure we can resolve this without violence. I I can offer you Priceless knowledge in exchange for our lives and perhaps we can resolve this peacefully My halberd and I ask her so how many kids kids?
03:24:48 [DM (Aarya)] Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean Don't play dumb. I don't know what you're talking about. Then you will just Listen listen, if you spare us I can't holy that wasn't that so how many kids Holy shit Yeah That's just to their two children upstairs, you know, how many of you killed total Inventory, I don't understand Well We go through a lot of stock you see to produce our wares you'll have a number Listen, I can give you three secrets About Strahd von Zarovich in exchange for our lives three secrets that you won't get anywhere else.
03:26:48 [Saturno (Steph)] I don't care Anyone care.
03:26:56 [Mercurio (Gui)] Oh, this is tough.
03:27:01 [DM (Aarya)] Well, we need their heart stone, right like We need your heart stone, yeah I'm willing to loan it. Of course, we can make a deal for it.
03:27:13 [Mercurio (Gui)] And how do we know you won't curse the girl again?
03:27:18 [DM (Aarya)] Well We write it we make a contract and I'm bound to the to obey the contract to the letter of the word And sign the paper made of skin from the child We can use other parchment if you'd prefer.
03:27:33 [Saturno (Steph)] Oh, that's that'd be nice. Yeah.
03:27:35 [Mercurio (Gui)] Thanks very considerate So it was it was uh, it was optional.
03:27:41 [Saturno (Steph)] That was optional and you just pocket Listen do we do we have a deal here?
03:27:46 [Sildir (Tris)] It's so much more work. Oh Crap, I was okay. What happened?
03:27:46 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh, it's gone.
03:27:52 [DM (Aarya)] They're trying to make a deal with us They could have used regular parchment paper, but they chose to use children They're offering to give you three secrets about Strahd in exchange for their lives How about you give me three secrets about Strahd and then we kill you less brutally That doesn't benefit us at all.
03:28:11 [Sildir (Tris)] Oh Okay, well the brutal way it is then That's like their whole turn cuz yeah, let's keep going So you guys aren't gonna make a deal with them I'm okay.
03:28:26 [Saturno (Steph)] I mean if you want to that's okay.
03:28:28 [Sildir (Tris)] I I'm chill All right.
03:28:32 [Mercurio (Gui)] All right. I had a character huddle who wants to do the deal.
03:28:41 [Irredel (Sav)] I Killing children.
03:28:44 [Sildir (Tris)] Yeah, can we write in a like kill yourself clause because
03:28:52 [Sylalys (Cat)] Lady walked there to do something like sign them a contract
03:29:00 [Irredel (Sav)] That like Just can we just like conceptually agree that like the contract would work because I really don't want to like draft something in my off hours Like that's like 90% of the reason why I'd like just fucking kill him
03:29:17 [Sildir (Tris)] I think we just kill him anyway
03:29:21 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, I'm pulling out to kill them.
03:29:23 [Sildir (Tris)] What are they gonna go? They're gonna open up a coffee shop instead that doesn't serve children fists in it or whatever.
03:29:31 [Mercurio (Gui)] Like let's just kill him yeah, there's some greater good argument in there somewhere that the Meeting stride is more important, but they're just so despicable. They're just so despicable.
03:29:43 [Sildir (Tris)] It's too hard They were like children upstairs Yeah, I'm strong that no one else would though so like Yeah They might know what what strides into in the bedroom, you know, that'd be a crazy reveal But it is it is just a total gamble like they might just give us shit as well Yeah, let's just murder these people needs to happen. That's my coke because I want to murder I'm fully We should make them into pastries, what are they gonna do?
03:30:36 [Saturno (Steph)] I think we're just gonna make you into pastries.
03:30:40 [DM (Aarya)] All right, so you guys are gonna kill them Like trying to think like what How would you how would you know feel just make sure everyone's in like agreement with whatever action you guys take I think we should hear the secrets if they don't we'll just kill them Because they don't cooperate.
03:31:12 [Irredel (Sav)] What is cool?
03:31:13 [Saturno (Steph)] but if they tell us the secrets probably have to sign something and maybe We won't be able to kill we won't be able to kill them after it that's how I'm thinking. Oh, okay, unless we do something funny Like we can't kill you but the person outside can because you don't know they're here You know, yeah just fireball the place maybe I would hope he has fireball So to the killer be killed I mean that was pretty pretty okay with killing them because She felt really bad about the kids that we rescued in that. Yeah I'm talking about the kids in like the mansion that like we ended up, you know, they suffered so much Yeah, that's like the first impressions that don't know came into this world with I'm like fuck I'm leaving playing cards on the floor for like a girl.
03:31:13 [Saturno (Steph)] Yeah, you know like that was so shitty and then now I'm here and Lady's been selling for how long?
03:32:24 [Irredel (Sav)] and also like they are like Forcing people to engage in cannibalism Yeah Actions. Yeah, like I think you know would be leaning towards like justice must be meted out and these crimes are beyond Belief and It feels like morally wrong to like let them off easy and an advantage for our personal gain Like that's kind of like a judge taking a bribe.
03:32:49 [Sildir (Tris)] I'm not down for that tear would strike me down If we let them live, what are they gonna go do guys? Yeah, they're not gonna go like they're not gonna go wait tables And make an honest living No, they're gonna they're gonna go back to killing and eating children or something. I'm Yeah, yeah some variation of that Satorno heard them torturing a kid and laughing Yeah Justice we can bring them to here like All right laugh them Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I could we could tell you the secret of struts power how he came to be So tornado up with their heads Yes, sir I'm in a swing.
03:33:37 [DM (Aarya)] I will say it is still Ophelia's turn.
03:33:41 [Sildir (Tris)] So she's gonna we're gonna resume combat and Yeah So, can I can I do a monologue in the middle of my turn then next time and offer a deal and Maybe what is around maybe you down?
03:33:55 [DM (Aarya)] Maybe what it's your campaign I
