recently sorely wounded after um dueling with a praxian
0:45
writer uh i’m linda and i’m playing Enkala
0:52
troublemaker uh i am a Stormbull hi llama rider shaman troublemaker is
1:00
uh a very very normal combination of things yes very very normal um and the troublemaker part is just a
1:07
rumor uh i did not charge headfirst into the eternal battle
1:13
uh no i didn’t do that no i’m uh richard i’m playing Garan Grim
1:19
seeing a Humakti bodyguard with a suddenly discovered loathing for the morocanths
1:28
i’m claudia i’m playing gina ghost friend she is actually a Ty Kora Tek worshiper so through TY Kora
1:35
Tek she worships in louder and her big dream is after a big
1:40
battle she could raise actually all the ghosts on the battlefield but that’s a big dream i am philip glass
1:47
i play Kulbrast one arm a pretty much handicapped uh
1:54
wolf pirate who is now instead of roaming the white seas and plundering
2:00
trudging along in a desert-like wilderness with some very weird companions some of
2:09
whom actually have a strange predilection for charging headlong against avatars of chaos gods
2:18
excellent excellent great introduction to everybody here you know i would like richard
2:26
to describe what went on in the last session if that’s okay absolutely
2:32
okay so after uh spending a little more time
2:39
on the battlefield where we had uh um achieved great things in in defeating
2:46
the the avatar of the mad god we comprehensively looted everything we could and came away
2:53
with a huge stash of bronze spear heads and helmets and
2:59
swords and everything you could imagine we headed to the oasis of
3:06
day’s rest where we discovered it to be populated by a
3:12
Morokanth khan and his his many followers
3:18
we uh presented ourselves as the as the you know defeaters of chaos and
3:24
were welcomed with it with a great feast which was only somewhat marred by the uh
3:31
moroccan’s habit of herding uh humans as um
3:39
as animals uh they aren’t technically human they they don’t have souls
3:46
but nevertheless it was it was a very difficult moment for garan whose honor was was really quite
3:53
insulted by seeing humans treated in this fashion but there was a big feast
3:58
in our honour and because of uh the laws of hospitality everybody participated some more enthusiastically
4:05
than others and carla as a lifelong praxian was absolutely unconcerned by this um
4:12
unusual Morokanth behavior and dive right in uh nisk kind of part up a little bit cole
4:18
brass cool brush really made a good showing with the moroccanth
4:24
gina and garan were really not so happy and basically as kind of soon as
4:30
decently possible we left the next morning so that nobody did anything silly and when i say
4:36
nobody i mean me uh we then headed to uh the block the enormous um
4:44
sort of just enormous block of true stone which sits on top of the the devil
4:50
preventing him from sure i’d show a picture of the block for everybody’s entertainment here
4:57
hold on here for a quick second here uh and i even have one with the block
5:02
with a little dusting of snow which is about what it would be like when you guys were there can everybody
5:10
see this yep so this is this sits on top of the
5:16
devil and is of all times surrounded by uh Stormbull berserkers
5:24
we approached and were met by a group of storm ball berserkers
5:32
who were certainly one of them was extremely loudly unconvinced by our tale of how
5:39
having defeated the mad god in the eternal battle fortunately nisk was there to uh
5:46
avenge this slight on our honor in a thrilling uh jousting competition
5:52
which misk managed to win despite not having a lance um proving our uh
5:59
our credentials as defeaters of chaos and we then had another feast um although nisk was able to enjoy this
6:06
one slightly less given that he’d taken a a pretty nasty blow to the left arm i think yep um
6:15
just yeah just what usually happens to us basically one of our party is gonna
6:20
end up monolind um so that’s where we are at the moment we
6:26
are gonna spend we’re gonna see what happens at the block and then decide from there
6:32
excellent excellent summary here so let’s just dive right into it uh my
6:38
understanding is do you guys plan to spend about a week at the block yes yeah right so who is the master
6:46
keeper of the calendar oh we haven’t yet i could start tracking
6:52
if you like i think we should probably start keeping track of the
6:58
calendar and i’m i i let’s just make sure that i have an idea what the actual um
7:06
i know what day of the week it was when you guys got there because your guys big fight was on if i recall
7:14
um your big fight was on on a wednesday yeah on a wednesday on
7:20
wednesday um so
7:26
let me just see this here okay so you guys it was um
7:32
wednesday of disorder week when you guys fought the avatar of ragnar so
7:38
today is play day when you got here to where it was clay
7:43
day when you got to the Morokanth and it is the day after that you would think
7:49
given that i have written down the date so many times that i would totally know the days of the week
7:56
at least as well as my kids know the days of the week in the real world but i don’t
8:03
um so what did
8:13
you guys it’s it was fire day when you got to the uh storm boat camp so you guys need to
8:20
basically spend a full week at the storm bowl camp so
8:26
that you guys can be so that the orlanti there can be present on the next storm ball ceremony
8:35
yep and uh and obviously the storm bowl worshiper
8:41
so that means spending uh um a whole week
8:48
as the guest of vien uh horn saddle the
8:56
and you know you guys you guys managed um
9:05
nisk managed to defeat and i’m trying to recall the guy’s name really
9:11
quickly he managed to defeat maharo bull arm and maharo now thinks
9:17
nisk is the coolest guy in the world
9:22
they’re so simple because he really did fight the avatar of ragnar he proved it
9:31
in the proper old-fashioned way and so you’ve got a you know there’s basically
9:38
a bunch of storm bullies that that think all of you guys are as far as they are
9:45
concerned honorary members of the stormboat cult
9:51
and if anybody wants to become a lay member of storm ball you can without
9:58
paying anything or any of the usual gifts or other requirements they will be
10:05
very happy to accept you as is honorable men
10:12
what’s the benefit i don’t think [Music] yeah what’s in this for us i just think
10:19
it sounds okay to me regardless of the benefits
10:24
which is which is weird for a pirate but there you go
10:30
probably something good out of it right oh sure i mean for one thing you can always come
10:36
back here and and they will feast with you oh yeah i think it’d be good
10:41
that’s enough for me to be honest give me a quick second so i can look up
10:48
ah here it is here’s the big book actually i just saw yeah i’m just pulling up myself volume
10:55
two of the colts book which will not be in this format when it gets released people who are watching this on
11:00
television television
11:06
you know that jeff is still stuck in the
11:12
1970s
11:22
a giant or other thing painted um okay the mundane benefits the cult
11:29
promises to protect lay members while they are with their priest that
11:34
means that as lay members you are under the protection of the priests here
11:41
and isn’t encarla a priest or does she not count she’s an initiate
11:46
okay they will also they are also willing to teach skills while here
11:53
or train you in spirit magic known by the storm bull cult okay
12:00
i mean could they teach me to write [Laughter]12:06
right normally i would say there’s not enough time but you’re such a crappy writer yeah
12:15
i am willing to say that you could get a single training role in ride
12:21
while you’re here but the important question i have garrett is what beast are you going to learn to
12:27
ride my beautiful horse if that doesn’t work the only thing
12:37
get a high llama that’s that’s the only animal they will not teach you to ride right i just thought
12:43
absolutely transferable skills i could play they’ll just tell you look riding a horse means first killing it and then probably eating it
12:50
and then riding a bison or a llama the storyboards are a bit more pragmatic they’ll be okay but
12:57
you won’t get the best teachings on the horse they’ll basically be yeah
13:04
that they will send you to a different camp
13:10
just saying karen different camp or or you could start learning to ride a
13:16
real animal they which is the say lava you could choose a
13:21
zebra like me oh zebras are fine which is which is basically it is exactly a horse as far as the
13:28
mechanics are concerned but then i will start doing some uh the zebra riding
13:35
oh right is is your friend cole breast willing to lend you a zebra i will lend him a
13:41
zebra good man thank you okay i mean he did after all i think saved my
13:47
life once so it quits now but you know you saved my life you now i’m gonna let
13:54
you write my zebra exactly that sounds fair to me
14:01
all right karen roll 1d6 awesome four
14:09
it goes up by three points this is all you do this week is you ride
14:16
on the zebra you are learning the way of the zebra how good is your ride zebra
14:23
uh it is now uh 23.
14:30
gina are you a better zebra writer than him i don’t know let’s see
14:37
[Music] oh 47 i don’t
14:43
think though because my writing skill is a 15.
14:50
okay i’m going to check on it so next time we can actually do our check
14:56
you are no longer the worst writer in the group oh thank you
15:01
well i mean a little bit you get you get i mean how should i put this you usually ride
15:08
with your hairdresser anyway so he
15:14
you know that i have my over all gore who’s helping me with my he he’s giving
15:20
me a plus 30 bonus in hair and holding me up on my horse
15:27
to be honest yeah at some point claudia i’m going to require that you actually make
15:34
ogoro up as your hairdressing sidekick because happily i i will
15:41
i’m i’m pretty sure i will get get help from somebody yes well we’ll need to do
15:47
that so um that we know what Kulbrast is doing for the week uh how about the
15:54
rest of you guys i mean the the the storm bowls the storm bowl cult teaches all kinds um you’re here for a
16:01
week so you could learn a spirit magic spell you’d have to pay the cult for it
16:06
but they they can teach anything because the storm bowls connections to
16:12
the uh spirit world or you could try to learn something from
16:17
linda yeah or you could try to do something else
16:22
or you could do what the storm bulls do which is ride around the uh the block as much as
16:28
you can see look for brew if there are any around which there are um and
16:36
uh drink and eat and fornicate um and then repeat
16:43
well since i’m going to be a honorary Stormbull um [Music]16:50
remember yeah i’ll probably will do that and participate in the
16:56
riding around and having fun and looking if there any
17:02
brews okay so you basically get to
17:08
um uh you basically get to have a connection with this
17:15
temple of the storm ball so what i would like you to do you have the option you don’t have to
17:21
but you had would have the option of having a degree of loyalty to this temple of the storm cult now the
17:28
nice thing about that is it works both ways so uh loyalty in in runequest is always
17:36
a two-way street so if you’re loyal loyal to a group that group is expected
17:42
to have the same degree of loyalty towards you okay so the problem is my loyalty
17:50
slots in the character sheet are totally full it’s okay so where do i put that there’s
17:56
another skills piece in the middle [Music]18:09
stealth ah other skill okay so put it in there okay that sounds
18:15
like because i think i’m gonna do the same thing in terms of i was thinking about trying to learn a spell but
18:21
um it’s probably too much money right now but that’s the block temple or actually i call that yeah
18:26
you put a degree of loyalty to the block at 60 percent okay
18:34
because i’m going to use this um i think when if i go back to our graph
18:40
and talk to him and mention that we have some good reputation at least with these guys right because they’re
18:46
you mentioned that they’re definitely you know quite quite good about this i think being a remember helps and i
18:52
remember they said they would ride with us on the final battle against uh chaos
18:58
yes that you’ll ride with them on the final battle against chaos as well that’s what this just agrees well and i think you have
19:04
this i might ride with the wolf pirates if they ride at all but we’ll see about that yeah i missed i
19:09
think you’ve you’ve made the same writing decision i think so i mean it seems right so it sounds like
19:15
kobras and nisk are are they are just hanging with the wolf with the uh the storm balls they’re
19:21
riding around they’ve all become lay members you guys did you guys all write down
19:26
lay member storm ball i am now yep do i have to no we’ll get to you in
19:33
a second we’ll get to you in a second where do i write this down under cults on the right on the
19:40
higher up on the character sheet on the first page cults oh okay there’s sub or associated
19:47
cults you have to put it there okay okay and the life of of of being a full
19:55
mem uh being part of the bull cult is it’s pretty much well riding around
20:03
looking for chaos if there is any chaos um
20:09
you kill it yeah liking all it does all the time yep exactly
20:16
exactly so as a group will be even more sort of geared towards
20:22
seeking and destroying chaos wherever we can find it very much so you guys are very much a
20:29
strongly anti-chaos group i think that’s safe to say um
20:34
and and again you know you get to spend a week as a member of lord humungous army
20:43
uh you know riding around with the ayatollah of rock and rolla
20:50
and that is you know they that is pretty much really the experience it’s riding around in a
20:58
violent cowboy version of burning man for a week sounds great and they have a big ritual
21:04
with lots of hazy i think oh well and this is one other question i
21:10
have for you guys is i need to point out um
21:16
hands up of the characters who regularly or at least occasionally partake in hazia to
21:22
discorporate or revisions come on hands up a little bit not much
21:28
i i would like to check and and by the way those of you guys who
21:35
are watching this is another disclaimer opportunity because we
21:40
we do not encourage casual drug use uh here are the boxes to be very serious
21:46
drug use very serious so keep in mind
21:51
that hausei um okay each pipe full of hazia has a
21:59
potency of 1 d10
22:05
so what i would like everybody to do who is a regular posia roller is to roll the potency
22:11
can i say something i find this disturbing that says actually dice roll about that
22:18
thank you if you get addicted is this your deal i’m trying to figure out whether your character is or developing
22:24
a little bit of a hazy a habit no probably not it’s just occasional
22:32
right i’m on mushrooms okay but those don’t actually develop the
22:37
same degree of habit forming cravings that hazia does these special
22:43
mushrooms which are actually growing in crypts on the walls scratching them down
22:49
for the chins over sneezing them into your nose
22:56
okay no one does that no wonder she’s i’ve got like glowy green stuff on her i’m blowing in
23:03
the dark okay well we’ll we’ll deal with gina in
23:08
a quick moment here and caller would you roll a d10
23:15
a nine what is your constitution um one sec
23:27
my constitution is seventeen well okay so
23:35
eight you have a a 90 chance to not become in any way
23:43
addicted to hazia so i just there’s a reason why you were the biggest hazia
23:48
abuser of the group because i’m not abusing it i’m using it yes
23:55
use it or lose it so please roll though for my entertainment
24:01
by 90 yep okay don’t roll the 99
24:07
well that would be a music a roll was zero zero nine
24:13
are you yeah you’re using a d1 thousand dice or whatever
24:26
okay nine you’re fine totally fine no i when you said i rolled a zero zero
24:32
nine i was thinking what are you rolling on a d thousand yeah because that seems to be a thing at
24:38
the moment it is i heard something about that but i didn’t really pay enough attention i
24:44
read is having visions and uh
24:52
uh is there anything else that you’re doing other than having visions and engaging
24:58
in recreational um uh disc corporation yes i actually wanted to see if i could
25:04
speak to one of the greater spirits and uh bargain okay what do you wanna
25:09
bargain what do you wanna bargain with us i to give away a piece of my physical strength for
25:18
strengthening my shamanic abilities you know this would be a good place for that so you’re
25:25
gonna go and you’re gonna spend pretty much well the whole time in austerities on the top you know try
25:31
to to ignore everybody be there uh you’re you’re in a major
25:41
spirit place so let’s have you let me just
25:46
jump over to the shamanic magic my book isn’t here so you’ll have to
25:52
that’s okay that’s why i have it here so this is for taking on so
26:02
you may gain additional abilities
26:11
all right so to gain an another shamanic ability
26:16
um costs you have only one shamanic ability or
26:22
two i have two but i haven’t um i haven’t done this before so you
26:28
start at the one is from what i understand correct because i have two gifts and two geeses you don’t have to
26:36
give a point the point let resets hit right you know right your point of strength you can you can
26:43
choose not to do that but that resets it otherwise you have to take another taboo yeah but i think it’s at the start now
26:49
you don’t pick to boost but you start losing you know what happens is your first
26:54
first one you pick after the initial thing you you you give away an ability point
27:00
the second one costs two ability points then you can pick it to boot to reset it to one ability point correct correct so what
27:07
set what characteristic are you gonna sacrifice a strength i think it’s fitting okay
27:13
so knock off what’s your strength gonna go down to it is going down to
27:20
uh 13 and i’m such a power player that i’ve actually done the calculations
27:26
i’m not losing my damage modifier i’m gonna admit that much i have to
27:31
that makes me very happy to hear very happy to hear so you make a bargain with the storm
27:38
bull because the storm bowl is a greater spirit
27:45
we’re going to be happy with this after ragnar oh definitely that’s why he’s willing to do this yeah you make a bargain with a pact with
27:52
a storm boy you want to write this down you have a pact with the storm ball um for that pact
28:02
you can uh gain an additional ability or you can increase the points in an
28:08
existing ability from one to two i believe your existing abilities are discorporate
28:16
site and um the the spell extension
28:24
uh i have spell extension uh second site is already there and i have the show spirit
28:30
that’s when i once i have show spirit and so you can take a another uh ability
28:39
or you could knock up for for instance you could um you could knock up show spirit that
28:46
all spirits are easily and clearly visible to everybody around as opposed to currently which is that
28:54
onlookers can see a spirit in some detail if they go up looking for it
28:59
or you could take a new spell new ability all together there are some very interesting ones
29:04
there um the one where you actually take over bodies
29:11
how does that work if you’re like in into combat you take over or okay so what your type
29:19
you’re talking about is because she wants to learn how to possess others no i’m asking about it
29:25
right now okay because i didn’t understand the rules when i read it well any shaman can discord and engage
29:31
others in spirit combat this ability lets the shaman possess the body of a
29:36
victim so you have to beat them up in spirit combat when you’re discorporated
29:41
and then control it and so then you you basically control
29:49
them like a ghost or other spirit can possess somebody else and control them
29:55
what happens to my body then is the fetch guarding it or the fetch guards it i mean you have to
30:01
you have to um just corporate first yeah slander over and then you can choose to beat up somebody because now
30:07
you’re a spirit basically attacking them i think we’re going to be so so simple
30:13
as to ask for the spirit prowess or whatever it’s called you get plus three the damage in spirit
30:21
combat okay i think it’s almost at the last page yes it is it’s called spirit
30:29
man spirit mastery each point adds plus three to the magic points lost by a defending spirit when you
30:37
successfully attack in spirit combat it adds plus three to your spirit combat damage
30:42
this means and kala is becoming a very terrifying spirit magician at the risk of becoming
30:51
a well uh she’s an enthusiastic physical fighter
30:58
given that she has no given that she has no armor at all
31:05
and never can don’t tell my enemies that yeah i can never wear armor which is why it’s just
31:11
i’m moving away from that part of my life it’s nicer
31:18
all right so yeah i did actually charge drag neglar with zero armor on my chested abdomen i just want to say
31:25
that that’s the reason why we had to save you no did you just say you didn’t charge
31:30
him at all or did i sort of not catch that one
31:37
oh yes the truth will out okay thank you finally gina what do you
31:43
do during this week amongst smelly barbarians
31:51
using a lot of perfume
31:57
trying to find a bass trying to find a guy who in in with eye candy
32:05
who’s doing nicey oily massages
32:12
okay
32:17
[Laughter] i could also work on [Music]32:25
are there some corpses to prepare okay what the storm bowl cult does with their corpses
32:31
they prop their corpse up [Laughter]32:38
and expect it i i they’re they don’t do the whole cut
32:45
thai corporate thing they they find that cowardly
32:51
do they have some couples laying around uh no when um see the storm bull cult
32:58
offers its members great things after death unlike tycho tech um all
33:05
lay members are automatically promoted after death to being initiates that means that
33:10
you guys by being lame members storm bull looks at uh will make sure if
33:16
Orlanth can’t look after you when you die storm bull will look after you
33:21
he’s not gonna you know they’re brothers so they’re not gonna steal from each other
33:26
but their burial rituals are basically um uh pretty simple they kill the favorite
33:33
beast of the dead uh so that it will accompany the dead warrior everywhere
33:39
the beast is set uh set up on its belly with its legs folded beneath it and then the warrior is set atop that
33:47
superstition yep that’s what they do
33:52
and then they equipped it with the uh uh their favorite weapons armor and jewels
33:59
and then they they leave the body there uh to defy passerbys and frighten off chaos
34:08
that’s how they preserve their corpses barbarians yes and then they will get very cranky
34:14
if you try to do anything other than that yeah you just told me there’s actually nobody dead so
34:21
no if if anybody gets killed in it they don’t let you near it because they
34:27
view tychoratex realm is where that to them is is is where
34:35
uh the cowards go when they die what oh yeah oh yeah hey i challenged them to
34:42
a battle um you really want to challenge them to
34:49
a fight i don’t know i do not i mean sorry it’s my goddess we’re talking about
34:55
well they view it as does taikora tech accept people into her the her hall of the death who
35:01
have run away from battle whatever so it’s a block it’s a blah it’s a block actually brave storm
35:08
it is a giant gravestone of the devil perfect i sit down in front of it and meditate
35:13
to get rune points back i even lick it if it’s necessary
35:19
[Laughter] i do little engravings it’s like finger nails don’t don’t engrave on the
35:27
block i already tried to shape out a piece doesn’t work
35:34
yeah okay claudia what is your worship thai cora tech spell skill my skill worship thai car attack
35:41
is 60 and has a check okay i’m not going to let you take any
35:48
bonuses in it but i will let you roll against it
35:55
have you counted in bonuses or not yes really
36:02
yeah sure yeah no yeah yes you failed didn’t you
36:09
i rolled the 68 but i have a 60. we’re going to an earth temple for you soon you’ll be fine there you’re like plus
36:16
one million spinner all right
36:22
well now let’s get to the two orlantico tests oh that’s anticlimactic
36:29
you failed this is this is the gravestone of the devil why would you think that this is a place that is
36:36
because i put a devilish person into sleep into the
36:42
grave i actually told this on our last adventure
36:48
i was the one who bound him into the grave are you going to be worshipping that
36:53
dead person no i’m what she my god is and do you
36:59
think that the that she wants the devil in in in her part of the underworld
37:05
of course in the back room as a pet
37:10
tycoor to detect us with the devil in the court of the dead why not because you got brother 68.
37:21
it’s obvious it’s obvious all right let’s
37:27
[Laughter] that’s just evil
37:34
it’s logical suffer it has been measured out and quantified
37:41
and thus it is i have spoken
37:48
uh let us go forward to um you guys so there is on wednesday every
37:56
wednesday is a minor holy day to storm ball and that means this is when they all
38:03
gather up and they they offer sacrifices to the bull and so
38:11
i i think this is a good opportunity are you guys going to offer anything to
38:16
sacrifice or you just got to participate in the um worship of the storm bowl as
38:23
an associate cult of one lamp what’s the difference then
38:28
well you get a bonus if you throw in sacrifices so if you remember
38:35
if you offer a living sacrifice to the storm ball if it’s something small you get a plus
38:40
five bonus to your worship if it’s something like a a sheep it’s plus 10
38:46
but if it’s like a cow or a horse or 500 liters of wine it’s plus 20 and because it’s a weekly
38:55
day you get a plus 10 on this and because this is a great temple
39:02
of the storm ball you get a plus 30.
39:08
and you can worship borland in a storm bowl ceremony because of orland and storm bowl are associated
39:17
cults okay so running up to wednesday i will roam around the prairie trying to
39:26
kill something with my javelin okay roll against your javelin
39:34
um that’s 110 okay
39:41
96 i almost missed but you wrote on 96. yeah i did
39:49
so you almost missed i almost missed although i have 110 hasn’t happened in years but you know
39:56
it’s probably you get a rabbit oh okay
40:02
you you capture a rabbit for the storm ball that sounds like a plus five
40:08
sacrifices okay it’s pretty lame yeah any way to make this
40:17
yeah nice horrible if you like because i was going to sacrifice animal here okay
40:23
if you’re willing if you’re interested what is that misk plus 20. can you can he to partake
40:30
in that or does that know jeff considering you guys are gonna what are you gonna buy you gotta buy
40:35
like a try to trade for a uh a bison or something i think given what happened to sable
40:43
i’m not as valuable but because we’ve got 15 years okay 15 lunars and that’s uh
40:50
what bonus does that give us that’ll give you guys a plus 20. here you go okay hey
40:57
uh do you find a white sable bull i can look for a white fable because because if you sacrifice a white civil
41:05
bull we can keep the head and put the spirit in it for the is it the head or the whole spirit the whole animal does it want to
41:10
move around and stuff jeff what which was that did it want to move around when it said it wanted a white sable bull but
41:20
it wants to have a white sable but there aren’t any white sable here there aren’t even a lot of stables here
41:26
okay so you get a main g so sable
41:32
sorry okay so that’s like six plus 55 or something plus 55 to your
41:39
worship now basically the way this what what this should mean to you guys um is you know you’re gonna make
41:48
that worship ceremony as long as you spend the money for a sacrifice and you do it on the
41:54
right day at a big sacred place it gets much more complicated if you’re gina trying to do it by licking the
42:01
gravestone uh at an off-site
42:07
hmm also do a meditator something to try and increase the chance right yes you could i’m a very tactile person
42:15
well exactly but also this is a place that is not um it is not closely associated with
42:23
thai quartet so so meditate how long does that take
42:31
well what you would do is you’re just trying to augment it so it’d be you know you’re doing
42:38
meditations and whatnot during the the ceremony so just roll against your meditate
42:44
mm-hmm zero eight uh nope okay you get nothing
42:51
cobrast and miss gets a plus 20. okay this doesn’t need the this needs it
42:57
for him so now row against your modified worship
43:03
that’s 90. well i wrote i rolled it
43:14
and what did you roll neal i rolled a 90. well my skill is 160. okay so you succeeded so each of you
43:20
guys get one d6 foreign points back four okay divide divided by two because
43:28
it’s an associated cult yeah so i get all my points yeah you get all yours back
43:33
and i get two and you get two years back and you know what cold breast storm pool is not a bad god
43:41
storm bull is a pretty decent god to call breast yeah he is um he likes cold breast
43:49
he does that’s weird but why is that well because you know cole brass was
43:56
there at the eternal battle you may have run away but you weren’t enemastically tactically
44:02
retreated and you know he’s kind of the storm you normally worship the
44:08
storm of the seas yeah he’s the storm of the desert you know true that might be a good good
44:15
thing to sort of change ship as it were exactly just saying that you don’t have to
44:21
decide now but you know the cult itself is a little
44:26
primitive and a little barbaric but it makes a lot of sense to call breast except that my man roon is at 75
44:34
yeah so i’m not not a friend of primitive people no but but
44:40
as much as you can associate with yourself with a more primitive uh primitive cult you know
44:49
you you have at least a little bit of a connection there yep and i mean you can always instill them
44:54
with some you know civilization as time goes on
45:00
all right so let’s let’s move on and you guys leave unless there’s
45:06
anything else you want to do you guys leave the block finally [Music]45:12
claudia i’m loving your hand um
45:19
what he didn’t like the block gina did not like the block did she
45:26
does not vibrate to my tune it just did not vibrate to your tune did it
45:32
all right so the next place you guys head off is it’s um
45:42
okay actually this is the wrong one let me show you ace
45:49
okay so you guys head from the block to the turny altar and that takes about
45:56
a day to get there going across um uh the planes you guys can see that
46:02
there yeah so tourney alter i’m gonna just shut
46:07
this off tourney altar is another yet another oasis
46:13
uh and what i would like you guys to do is i’d like uh mr lucky aka
46:20
garen to please roll dice raw which dice percentile or day 100
46:27
mr lucky
46:39
what’s up me or miss rolling that’s you right uh mr lucky oh it’s just niski’s niskay
46:46
unlucky so uh that is 12 okay so you guys are
46:52
going across uh the chaparral country and you know
46:59
it’s now uh even a little bit later in dark season so it’s winter
47:06
light snow on the ground uh it is perfectly miserable to you
47:13
gina because well how much snow are you used
47:21
to in israelia nothing but i’m usually staying in a cold crypt
47:30
i’m used to fridges we have as really as there israelian
47:35
knows how to preserve things true enough true enough okay so it’s not that bad
47:42
for you no uh there is
47:49
i’d like you guys all to make a listen check and rather than have me roll i trust you
47:55
guys to tell me if you hear something
48:00
regular success from earlier
48:06
success just 10 from 69
48:15
you hear the barking uh of hyenas lots of them
48:23
oh good thing we’ve got um with us yeah
48:30
i have very good news for you it’s a pack so basically a pack
48:38
of hyena hyenas follow you all the way a good 30
48:46
or so kilometers all the way to the tourney uh the tourney altar
48:53
barking and making that horrible sound that horrible weird laughing sound that
48:59
they do
49:05
and it’s it’s pretty darned annoying and i think it takes actually i think it’s a uh looking at this it’s almost um
49:13
it looks like it’s um 40 kilometers so you could probably
49:19
probably do it in a day with hyenas trailing you all the full way
49:25
does that mean no you go ahead i was just gonna ask if
49:32
that means we hear less of wa tall waha talls bit and waha
49:39
tall has been pretty quiet the last few times in part because he’s an npc but also it had the the
49:47
sad life of npcs um but also uh in in in big part because
49:54
he’s a waha cultist and this was the this was the place of the ball and
50:00
although waha is also associated with the bull uh he hadn’t fought at the eternal battle he had been
50:06
watching your animals in your gear and so he was a little intimidated this last week
50:12
and he’s not feeling like you know the he there’s more than he
50:19
he’ll tell you there’s more than a dozen hyenas oh he why don’t we cheer you up
50:29
you guys want to hunt hyenas no we don’t you don’t he’s excited about that it’s a possibility i think that would be fun
50:36
but you know don’t happen i could go for some hunting i don’t like i mean
50:41
they are very annoying and yeah i dislike being counted by these fel
50:48
creek [ __ ] and they are annoying because as long as elena’s around you’ve got you
50:55
know you’ve got what about a dozen animals with you i always have to watch your back basically
51:02
all right so what i’m gonna have everybody do who wants to go on the hyena hunt
51:08
is to make a missile weapon brawl and and your status and your stature on this
51:15
hunt is dependent upon how good your missile weapon skill check went so first let’s let me
51:22
go with waha taw zero three he’s back to form
51:33
four arrows because he has magic probably for missiles oh yeah
51:39
tall waha tall is way happier
51:52
okay who’s next karen you want to go over me um i’ll go why not come on come on come
51:59
on call me peter hold on here to help go against him ah just a success
52:08
okay but you don’t humiliate yourself no all right i’ll go next zero three what
52:14
zero three i what are you using uh i am using a javelin that is not a
52:21
critical by the way that’s a special still still good at dealing with
52:27
with them i mean uh uh just to keep in mind a hyena has one point of armor and
52:32
generally three or four hit points in the location i’m not going to make you guys roll for it but any anything like a special or
52:39
critical is going to take the javelin the hyena down okay uh 45
52:48
that’s a normal success from 110. so
52:54
gina are you going to do anything on this hyena hunt are you just disgusted by the whole thing
53:02
you’re disgusted by the whole thing i’m sorry i mean how are you in our hand listen think
53:09
about it this way can we cite some poems or so
53:20
actually this is a good point maybe i should actually study the stripes hyenas have and try to find
53:26
a makeup thingy
53:31
okay so you’re going to develop the hyena look as the new thai cora tech goth girl
53:39
um but i’m not i’m i’m sorry i’m not going to hunt hyenas i mean this is not
53:44
really no in color my fingernails
53:50
in color are you participating in the sword they’re also kind of looking at this kind of a silly thing i i think it was kind of a silly thing
53:57
but if the other is doing it i’ll have to join because it’s dangerous i mean this is this is what this is what
54:04
is called like a really pointless danger it is
54:10
completely pointless it’s not chaos or anything so it’s pointless i mean we
54:17
no longer hyena’s chasing us it’s a good thing i’ll throw a sling at them i have crappy skill but i do have
54:24
slingstones and a sling i will probably miss i do miss
54:31
your your ambivalence for the hunt is matched only by your incompetence
54:39
of the hunt it’s a ranged weapon
54:44
it’s not the brave people’s fighting i mean you could always wrestle it you
54:50
know no all right as i said you all make it to tourney altar and
54:57
tourney altar is another one of these oases and there it is most famous because
55:03
it has a temple to humach and a do the its famous
55:10
dueling ground before the um uh the altar so it’s a basically it is a
55:17
place of humoct a significant er er the most important
55:24
praxian temple to humach although you know the the temple in pappas is
55:29
frankly a better temple but yes
55:34
yes gina um does it have some kind of a graveyard or necropolis
55:40
or so uh anywhere who mocked is you can worship Ty Kora Tek because
55:46
Humakt tends to send people to you’re both death gods so i’m i’m
55:52
looking the most dead place for the most that place sit down well the most dead place
55:59
isn’t the necropolis the most dead place is the dueling field and i sit down on
56:06
the dueling field whatever i need my room points back okay well the
56:11
thing about the dueling field is this is that’s the just just to let you know that’s humoc’s
56:18
place then i go to the necropolis okay there’s
56:24
there’s a place where there are there’s a urn field and what point what what i push everybody inside who’s there
56:32
plop down in the middle and start my ritual and finally i can actually sleep
56:38
properly the Humakti really don’t care much about what goes on in the necropolis there they for them the
56:45
important point the sacred point is where the killing happens
56:51
right garen oh yeah that is that’s the sacred moment when when when
56:57
humont helped somebody go from the state of the living to the state of being dead that’s that’s
57:05
the moment of who mocked they’re doing only a harvest job it looks like i mean the point is they have to bring
57:11
the best to the end to enter the hall uh who mike doesn’t
57:16
really care that much um exactly
57:24
so what goes on at the attorney alter so this is a place famed that uh
57:31
for what are called the humachty duels and this is where the members of the
57:36
cult resolve conflicts is they fight on the dueling
57:41
field and according to careful rules um uh and and also where
57:49
non-cult members are will uh often join the cultist lay members
57:56
in order to resolve issues and conflicts with duals so it’s
58:03
basically this is the customary place where uh praxians will fight it out
58:11
to resolve conflicts between tribes personal vent vendettas etc
58:18
all under the watchful eyes of puma so it’s got to be killing it according to the rules
58:26
so garen but it’s a temple so this is a place you can get your humont
58:32
magic back perfect because i am very short
58:40
now the sucky thing about belonging to the huma cult is who mocked is an associate of no
58:46
other deity it doesn’t really suck that much for me
58:53
no but it unlike these guys who can go who can basically go to you know half
59:00
the temples in the world uh Orlanth can be worshipped there who mocked kumak insists who much will
59:08
be worshipped at who mock’s places and not in anybody else’s at these places of life and death so
59:15
what are you gonna offer who mocked um
59:29
that is a very good question we’re gonna just go straight off your uh uh worship skill
59:38
uh i have a golden arm talk wow that’s a huge okay
59:46
that is a huge gift that would give you a uh right off the bat a plus
59:52

  1. um i’ll give that a plus 30 because that’s such an absurdly huge
    59:58
    sacrifice a plus 30 on your worship scale okay so that takes me
    1:00:03
    to 104
    1:00:11
    so that is a pass but it’s not a very good path 98
    1:00:16
    um
    1:00:22
    it’s not a fumble it’s still a failure garen oh my god
    1:00:28
    it’s brim quest and normally a 96 to a zero zero is always a failure
    1:00:36
    now Kulbrast 96 wasn’t because he has a 110 and i’m not
    1:00:41
    going to go and look at what your skill is because here all day 98.
    1:00:49
    you didn’t fumble you didn’t piss who knocked off but i was giving away my golden answer
    1:00:59
    that’s your side right you can always ask your friends to retrieve it for you at a later date
    1:01:06
    now karen i think actually this should be used as a potential potentially positive learning
    1:01:14
    experience does simple moment it’s a teachable moment and
    1:01:21
    and and what Humakt just taught you is is impressed with gold
    1:01:26
    now who might cares only for the moment of death does does krom care about gold no
    1:01:33
    it’s only about it’s about that thin sliver of light between the eternal darkness and the
    1:01:39
    moment of dying so what should you have offered who mocked clearly based on your diceroles uh
    1:01:48
    possibly my own head or you should kill something you should
    1:01:53
    have killed something you didn’t offer who mocked a living thing
    1:01:58
    of course you failed of course you should have gotten a hyena you should have dragged a hyena across
    1:02:05
    the waist and killed it right there now i guarantee you you would have rolled like a
    1:02:10
    three or a four [Laughter] the reason you rolled a 98 is because
    1:02:18
    you gave who mocked gold you could have given that to coal brass
    1:02:24
    do you get a far better response outcome absolutely i mean you know i’m going to
    1:02:30
    like explorate myself i’m going to be i’m going to do something really penitential
    1:02:36
    for the rest of our time here you can hang out with gina in the
    1:02:42
    cemetery covering yourself with ashes of the death death
    1:02:47
    not eating i’m going to eat for the entire time of course we eat we have to feast for
    1:02:54
    the dead i have offended my dad i have not offended him i have not pleased him in
    1:03:00
    the way that he’s fitting and now you’re coming to me as a second choice
    1:03:05
    no we’re just sharing the same space because nobody else wants to be here [Laughter]1:03:12
    everyone else will just be telling him about his failure all the time so yeah i get it
    1:03:20
    yeah but but seriously garen it’s obvious isn’t it
    1:03:27
    i had thought that a grand gift would show my devotion and instead i have
    1:03:34
    uh merely shown my pride i have been humble appropriately you’ve been humbled you’ve been humbled exactly
    1:03:41
    see if you’re if you worship orland pride is a virtue
    1:03:50
    yeah yeah i i have to say orland does like his bling
    1:03:57
    all right so are you going to spend longer at the tourney altar or is the
    1:04:02
    plan than to head on to the paps the great earth temple
    1:04:08
    i need some room points back the rest are getting the perhaps and i think if we stay here for too long
    1:04:14
    we run the risk of being you know challenge a duel or something
    1:04:20
    very true it’s also kind of a dread place because yubaki aren’t really known for having fun
    1:04:26
    no so this is curve yeah no alcohol no drugs that’s just attitude
    1:04:33
    just killing perhaps perhaps a few days here may cleanse your minds and bodies of this
    1:04:43
    let me get the bison ready here yes it says the main funster of the group
    1:04:50
    if i if i’d been more successful i might have asked that we stay but i i want to get away now i want to try and
    1:04:57
    learn from the moment but also forget it slightly yeah well exactly it’s it’s
    1:05:03
    been just um you know you’re actually getting in there’s two
    1:05:10
    ways of looking at this garen one way is for you to look at these
    1:05:15
    as a series of failures the other way to look at it is is a
    1:05:23
    series of of of moments of realization of
    1:05:29
    of higher understanding of what you worship take your pick are you a failure or are
    1:05:37
    you having great mystical knowledge i think
    1:05:42
    i am hovering i am experiencing a series of small deaths
    1:05:49
    deaths of pride deaths of ego small things that are being stripped
    1:05:54
    from my to make me the purest humanity i can be awesome so
    1:06:00
    so it’s not a failure no no it’s merely one step along the road
    1:06:05
    to being devoid of that which is not dedicated to
    1:06:11
    death actually can i actually i mean is there
    1:06:18
    any way to convince him that tycho attack would be the bet [Music]1:06:24
    he did i mean you did roll in 98.
    1:06:29
    they always get you when you low don’t know garen you didn’t fumble but you might
    1:06:37
    have a degree of you know uh you might be gaining a degree of appreciation for tycho tech
    1:06:47
    not that you want to join the cult or anything beyond maybe becoming a layman
    1:06:53
    of the the goddess of corpses but you know you’re hanging out with gina you guys
    1:06:59
    are spending some good quality time in the cemetery both of you guys you know you get that
    1:07:06
    that good experience i show you which mold is actually something you can you can actually sniff
    1:07:14
    she’s having a very good time she can she can show you not only the
    1:07:21
    right molds but also uh because i don’t think there’s a lot of mold in the necropolis
    1:07:28
    of hearing prax but at the very least gina can you show them what are the right ashes
    1:07:34
    to to be putting on them for looking corpsey
    1:07:41
    yep i know how to mix them properly real human edge and i can tell you how
    1:07:47
    the sting is distinguished real human ash from an animal and dirt because it flakes
    1:07:54
    differently that is genuinely interesting knowledge
    1:08:00
    thank you gina you are truly wise in the ways of the dead so
    1:08:05
    so there you go how a real feast looks like because on thai cortex table you eat
    1:08:12

    you know here is the necropolis it’s so nice
    1:09:19
    oh well clearly what we’ve got here is we’ve we’ve got this bit of the the
    1:09:26
    penitent humachi covered in ashes hanging out with the
    1:09:31
    the goth girl of tykora tech who’s sitting around trying to persuade
    1:09:37
    him while he’s sitting here trying to meditate upon being the perfect embodiment of
    1:09:43
    death and she’s like hey you really have to try this mold really oh yeah
    1:09:54
    anyways anyways you know we we you’re like santa mia and death hanging
    1:10:01
    out in uh in a neil gaiman comic here
    1:10:07
    i’m singing and dancing so
    1:10:14
    shall we move on though okay so the next day so you spend only a
    1:10:20
    day at tourney altar and the next day you’re gonna make the
    1:10:26
    start the two-day trek to the paps so
    1:10:31
    um i’m gonna show you i’m gonna pull up the map one more time
    1:10:44
    do we see this here guys did we forget to actually flaunt our fight
    1:10:51
    uh with the rock uh here that was one of the reasons we were
    1:11:10
    totally different yeah then then i think you know but as it is
    1:11:17
    all right so you guys head from tourney alter to the pabst what i would like is for gina to roll percentile dice
    1:11:28
    72 and you spend a full long day
    1:11:34
    traveling across um the the uh slightly
    1:11:41
    snowy desert until you get about halfway to the path so you’re not out to
    1:11:47
    the grasslands of the sacred uh ground and so you’ve got a camp in the desert overnight
    1:11:56
    gina would you roll again
    1:12:02
  2. i’m assuming you guys set up guards and
    1:12:10
    watches and and all that sort of thing you all spend a nice cold
    1:12:17
    evening uh the final other crappy thing being out in chaparral country is
    1:12:22
    do you know how hard it is to get a good warm fire going
    1:12:28
    no not a clue it’s the reason why we brought dried poop
    1:12:36
    is is it harder than let’s see uh no actually well actually
    1:12:42
    it is harder it’s just that see you really really don’t want a big fire going
    1:12:49
    through this is it’s entirely too easy to get the fire going at sea um
    1:12:56
    for but out in the you know out in the chaperone country all you’ve got are you know relatively small bushes
    1:13:04
    and brush and what a lot of it burns terribly um and so it’s just really hard to
    1:13:11
    collect wood or or to get much going so it’s just it’s it’s it’s sucky and cold
    1:13:19
    but you guys have got lots of you know you got animal hides an animal for reason if i recall that did the moroccan
    1:13:26
    equip you with more really good tent yeah the more guys the morgan
    1:13:32
    exactly you’ve got your nice warm moricamp tent with all sorts of wonderful
    1:13:39
    um uh you know it’s it’s an it’s a nice gift they gave you and i i
    1:13:46
    want to make sure somewhere written down on somebody’s character sheet is awesome Morokanth tint okay
    1:13:54
    oh yeah that’s my favorite prop rock album
    1:14:02
    you know right before they did tails the topographical ocean didn’t yes do awesome Morokanth awesome moroccan
    1:14:09
    yeah it rocks all right
    1:14:14
    the the morning you guys break camp and you head into the sacred ground
    1:14:21
    and the sacred ground of the paps is a this is not chaparral country
    1:14:29
    this is honest to god decent grassland and so for the praxians this is the this
    1:14:37
    is the best and richest grazing and there’s a there’s there’s herds of animals
    1:14:43
    um in the sacred grounds so i would like gina to roll one more
    1:14:49
    time 58 you won’t
    1:14:56
    manage other than seeing that there are are herds of animals you know
    1:15:02
    um uh 100 200 300 bison in a herd uh
    1:15:10
    llamas uh and all sorts of others just grazing out in the sacred grounds
    1:15:17
    does anybody get a hankering to go and rape these animals that would be a bad thing yeah
    1:15:26
    are there any herds of humans just you know before yeah actually
    1:15:32
    there’s a there’s even a small herd of of
    1:15:38
    heard men wandering around here as well as you travel through the sacred grounds
    1:15:44
    that’s weird so what was that called rest
    1:15:52
    uh nothing nothing it was just i was just wondering because we had this discussion whether they were
    1:15:58
    created by the Morokanth exclusively or where they actually existed
    1:16:03
    uh just like this it seems they just seem to be around
    1:16:10
    or there is a Morokanth tribe nearby yeah but they wouldn’t let their human nerds roam free like that
    1:16:17
    do you think
    1:16:23
    sorry you might see some more Morokanth priestess or something in the
    1:16:28
    past we don’t know never been there yeah it’s possible well by the end of
    1:16:34
    the day of travel you get to the area that is the paps and the paps are right at and again i
    1:16:41
    have this being shared i’m gonna shot the stop and i’m gonna show a different picture for a quick moment
    1:16:49
    because i think this is significant
    1:16:56
    do you see these hills that have the shape of a like a bison or
    1:17:03
    antelope or something here the aritha hills can you see that on this map
    1:17:11
    and you have the paps right here which of course is where the paps would be that’s the the utters the the the source
    1:17:18
    of milk of the animal and so the paps is this huge
    1:17:26
    earth temple uh that leads under the aritha hills
    1:17:32
    right at the edge of uh right at the edge of the hills and so it’s also a an important oasis
    1:17:39
    place but there are there are hundreds
    1:17:44
    of praxian tents all around the outskirts of of the peps of
    1:17:51
    every tribe there are more camp here there are high
    1:17:56
    lamas there are sables there are bison uh but there are also even the smaller
    1:18:04
    tribes like um the rhino riders this is
    1:18:09
    what all the lizards man they’re great in that time of god yeah they’re i i’m not sure
    1:18:14
    there’s bolo lizards at the paps but all of the herd animals uh are all
    1:18:20
    present here and this is the most important earth temple in all
    1:18:27
    of prax now for the characters that this would matter that perhaps matters to the most
    1:18:33
    would be obviously in kala because aratha the goddess of the paps is the
    1:18:40
    the consort of the storm ball
    1:18:45
    and the great she did the great love of the storm ball but for gina this is important because
    1:18:54
    rytha is the grand niece of thai core attack i’m
    1:19:01
    gone i i’m directly going into the necropolis and i’m staying there and i’m
    1:19:06
    not coming out okay the perhaps doesn’t have an above-ground
    1:19:12
    necropolis when i go underground there are the the actual
    1:19:19
    the temple has a an entryway here that heads down deep in to the earth
    1:19:26
    and according to the apraxians uh aritha herself is buried underneath these hills the
    1:19:33
    great goddess of all of the herd animals the earth goddess of prax
    1:19:40
    most of your characters have no ability to confirm or deny this rumor because the babiester gore cult
    1:19:50
    are the ones that guard entrance into the underground
    1:19:56
    and uh hands up whose characters belong to one of the earth cults not yet
    1:20:02
    eugena rest of you guys do you guys think you guys are going to be admitted into the temple complex by the beast or
    1:20:10
    gore cultists are friends with the other guests but
    1:20:15
    probably oh well they yeah no so Kulbrast have you ever encountered the babies or gore cult
    1:20:21
    before uh nope the beast or the bistro court is the um
    1:20:30
    parthenogenetic daughter of ernalda has no father was but is the daughter
    1:20:37
    born to the earth mother when she died and she is the
    1:20:43
    avenger of the earth goddesses and they are sent
    1:20:51
    they’re they are notorious for being sent out to hunt down anyone who has
    1:20:58
    blasphemed or polluted the earth temples uh or their priestesses so
    1:21:06
    uh they’re particularly notorious for men who take liberties with the sacred women
    1:21:13
    of the uh with the earth and they’re they’re notorious for their necklaces uh
    1:21:19
    in college you want to explain to uh Kulbrast what their necklaces are famously decorated with i seem to
    1:21:28
    recall it’s certain appendix appendages of male people humans
    1:21:34
    dried up what could that be a one okay so it might not actually want to go
    1:21:40
    there you saying no they are they are a death cult of
    1:21:46
    a a a very single-minded death cult
    1:21:51
    that are uh you are the the their bit is if you are not an earth
    1:21:57
    cultist you are not to pass uh past their sacred precinct
    1:22:03
    so you tell me who um and toby other than gino which we’re going to get to
    1:22:08
    any of the rest of you guys going to try to enter the temple
    1:22:13
    don’t get are you going to cry too yeah of course
    1:22:20
    okay well the babies record cultists of course do what the bistro cultists always do
    1:22:25
    did they say um uh i do not recognize you you are not
    1:22:31
    one of the priestesses you may not pass bring me to one of the
    1:22:36
    princesses
    1:22:42
    they if you ignore me i will put out my horn of intimidation
    1:22:48
    so you’re going to try to intimidate the
    1:22:57
    you tell me what what right do you have to enter this temple okay i’m worshiping worshipping and
    1:23:03
    nalda through thai core attack i show them show them my tattoos
    1:23:09
    and keep in mind if you ever want to go if you ever will go to the hall of the dad
    1:23:15
    it will be through me you you could mention the epic fight against the oh
    1:23:21
    yeah i tell them about their big fight okay so i’m gonna give you a couple of
    1:23:28
    options i would let you do to try to use your cult lore
    1:23:33
    to prove to them that you have the right to be here or you could try to or rate to them
    1:23:41
    um my order is not so good cold lore call for tiger attack yes
    1:23:48
    okay yes okay
    1:23:54
    you are allowed to enter the temple there’s no checkbox behind
    1:24:02
    that now just check it anyways
    1:24:11
    so with that claudia um this is a great temple so it adds 30 to
    1:24:18
    your worship uh and the entire pabst earth temple complex is
    1:24:23
    all underneath underground and it’s huge it is a it’s not as big as sacred
    1:24:30
    as hell or the necropolis itself but it is way bigger than the earth temple
    1:24:35
    in new pavis this is a huge ancient ancient temple that probably dates from
    1:24:41
    before time so add 30 to your worship what’s your skill now
    1:24:48
    permanent no just to get rune points back here
    1:24:54
    um to which one to my worship of thai current text and i’m on 90.
    1:24:59
    okay do you want to offer a sacrifice or is that good enough for you
    1:25:05
    um i offer some food of course that’s a plus five
    1:25:12
    point that’s a very small offering oh shall the heck often handle what
    1:25:19
    well you might not want to hack off your own hand that would kind of unless you want to join coal breast
    1:25:27
    i can i’ll cut something off from cold rest uh no [Laughter]1:25:33
    anyway to join me you would have to hack it off at the shoulder so hand doesn’t cut it
    1:25:41
    i lay down naked and do some meditating okay roll against your meditate
    1:25:49
    yeah okay you’ve got a 110 chance that should be good enough
    1:25:57
  3. all right would you roll one d6
    1:26:05
    hey you get all your rune points back
    1:26:11
    and uh you participate in there’s i mean there’s shrines to
    1:26:17
    uh down within the paps there’s not only a temp a great temple to arrive in a temple to
    1:26:23
    ernalda but there’s temples to enshrines to the bistro
    1:26:29
    to azraelia to thai core attack to the entire uh cluster
    1:26:35
    of earth goddesses so if for some reason you want to to go to an important temple of the
    1:26:41
    earth deities this is a place much more so than pavus
    1:26:48
    so but with that you get your rune points back and can return to your compatriot so you
    1:26:56
    guys can stay here for a few days whichever you went
    1:27:02
    i have one thing that i want to do yes yes put the word out that we’re looking
    1:27:09
    for a white bull sable we’d like to purchase a white bull sable
    1:27:20
    good point yeah good things lots of herbs there’s lots of herds here so you can
    1:27:27
    okay the earth priestess is the right the herd priestesses um say but the white bull has been found
    1:27:35
    are you trying to find another one uh it’s not your business yet here
    1:27:45
    it’s not your business well they if you’re asking
    1:27:53
    for the mother of herds for uh a white bull sable
    1:28:01
    we we are uh we are the what’s the good word
    1:28:07
    of protectors of the white bull shrine in pavis and we are looking for a white
    1:28:13
    sable for our spirit yep and say that we fought and we fought
    1:28:19
    with um in the eternal battle yeah and when we were there we def we um we defeated an aspect of
    1:28:26
    ragnalar and rescued a spirit and this spirit said that he would join us and he would
    1:28:32
    help form our shrine but he’s he he asked for a white bull that and he is
    1:28:37
    a stable rider yeah he was a stable rider so we wish to get one to set up a shrine
    1:28:44
    in um along with a uh taikora tech shrine we will set up
    1:28:49
    in palace well the uh last one what was that
    1:28:57
    i liked the last edition yeah there we go i’m inclusive doesn’t mean i’m gonna
    1:29:04
    worship it or have those mushrooms but you can
    1:29:09
    they the the priestesses say well the white bull
    1:29:15
    has been found and it is with it it is in paris is the white bowl
    1:29:22
    but um perhaps your spirit would be
    1:29:27
    satisfied um with a voted with an with a votive
    1:29:32
    image of a white bull sable
    1:29:37
    i i speak with the spirit no so that’s how you spirit speech is uh
    1:29:44
    weird interesting interesting explanation
    1:29:51
    make a spirit talk uh in color it isn’t my best skill though
    1:29:58
    let’s see spirit speech there um i will cast a spell on you and
    1:30:05
    you will get a plus five percent bonus nice oh i i can’t can i boost this by loyalty to
    1:30:12
    white bull worse try that first that’s better
    1:30:17
    yeah that’s a regular success on that one so yes that makes it a lot better
    1:30:29
    it’s a failure you have no idea whether it would be acceptable
    1:30:34
    no we’ll try if they haven’t they are willing to have
    1:30:42
    somebody make you a a little clay
    1:30:47
    a votive image of a stable antelope
    1:30:53
    that um they’ll paint white perfect just going to say we can always
    1:30:59
    paint it white but if it’s already done for us [Laughter]1:31:05
    so um they they will have that the priestesses will have that made
    1:31:10
    are you gonna give them any uh a gift or not they have to get a gift um
    1:31:19
    i have something fun well i have weapons i really probably don’t want weapons normally
    1:31:25
    oh yeah you you we have a lot of products got yeah we have some bronze weapons
    1:31:34
    and that’s something that they would take though i guess for their um guardians okay so you’re gonna give them
    1:31:41
    um you’re gonna okay so you’re going to give them some
    1:31:47
    axes yup what’s a good a good number to give for that
    1:31:54
    you tell me what you want to give to the goddess of the animals the herd goddess
    1:32:09
    so you can also give a bison but i was thinking to the guardians we could get a bison too but i don’t really want to give up my bison
    1:32:17
    can’t we purchase a bison for them from one of the other herds here there’s lots of people
    1:32:22
    yep so that’s a good idea i think we still have bags and bags
    1:32:30
    of haze here right is it sacred for them too
    1:32:36
    well it allows them just to discorporate so it’s used in religious rituals it is value-wise is high enough
    1:32:43
    to be a good gift it would be a good gift okay i have five so i will give one of my bags of easy
    1:32:53
    okay i’ll give one an axe for the guardian thing look at one of your 20 bags of columns i didn’t get 20 i got 10
    1:33:01
    and it’s dwindling yes i need to get a new supplier this sucks
    1:33:08
    and you said you’re not a big [ __ ] i can always get my pouch i mean i never really use it anyway
    1:33:14
    so yeah you can have my pouch if you want oh listen to all those people where were you when i was asked
    1:33:22
    when you were desperately sweating in your room
    1:33:29
    that’s a sweat tent it was opposed to sweating all right
    1:33:35
    so um what comes out of this is is they make
    1:33:40
    you they accept your gifts um and are uh they give you a a very
    1:33:47
    nice blessed clay uh icon
    1:33:56
    of a white bull sable which they say um you should
    1:34:04
    ask your spirit to inhabit when you bless your um shrine okay we’ll try
    1:34:11
    thank you and and it’s you know it’s very simple but this isn’t the sort of thing if you could imagine going to like
    1:34:18
    kato huyak or or any archaeological site where they have it this is
    1:34:23
    i mean this is actually kind of what the the little icons look like sure so it’s it’s made out of clay
    1:34:31
    it’s fragile uh but it’s been beautifully made and beautifully very carefully painted
    1:34:39
    perfect so with that um it’s i think this is the next step is to
    1:34:47
    head on to new pavis if you guys would like we will i’m going to assume that over the next
    1:34:54
    three days you’re able to travel over the aretha hills and um
    1:35:02
    uh get to the area called the long dry unless there’s anything else you want to
    1:35:08
    do in uh the aretha hills no no no nothing i can think of
    1:35:17
    so basically um uh it’ll take you i’m just looking at
    1:35:22
    the map here you have to go over the over the hills through some pastures there and then
    1:35:29
    over an area called the long dry and i’d say it takes probably about five
    1:35:34
    days to get from the paps back to new pavis but we will get you back to new paths
    1:35:42
    and that’s where we will start the next session is returning back to the city
    1:35:47
    that we started from does that work for you guys yeah yeah that’s awesome awesome i know
    1:35:54
    it’s where we’re uh a couple of us are mighty tired so why don’t we stop here this is
    1:36:02
