White Bull Season 1 Episode 16 – transcript

0:09
welcome back to another episode of the chaosium house runequest campaign
0:15
the tales of the white Bull as always i’d like to thank my amazing players uh claudia loroth
0:23
philip glass richard august neil robinson and linda borgen uh
0:30
why don’t you guys quickly introduce yourselves and then we’re just gonna jump right in
0:35
hi i’m neil and i’m playing nisk and nisk sadly despite his combat prowess is not apparently very
0:41
intimidating or so bandits think exactly uh hi i’m linda and i’m playing
0:49
Enkala troublemaker and right now Enkala is very excited to be shacking up with a wyrm
0:56
i am i play Kulbrast one arm a wolf pirate who is delighted to find
1:02
that there are well usable piratish people in prax as well hello i’m claudia i’m playing a
1:12
ghost friend and gina loves to talk to ghosts uh i’m richard i’m playing Garan
1:19
grimseeing and i now have the same haircut as uh the drawing of my character so that’s
1:25
good awesome style so we’re going to we’re going to change the scene and um
1:32
it we are back in new pavis you all have uh returned
1:37
to your your villa which you know probably does not look as
1:43
swanky of villa as it did um under its previous owners you know i was
1:50
thinking about this now i doubt you guys have ever bothered to have it be whitewashed
1:57
um i’m not even entirely certain how clean you all keep it do you have a household manager yes
2:04
is it his main job there for keeping you often have praxians coming in uh
2:11
to uh drink and raise a glass to the white bull that being one of your so i i i i was
2:18
realizing this i’m imagining i’m sorry i have to be a little bit
2:25
here you know or is really good in managing these things
2:31
so he has of course uh organized staff and i’m pretty sure we have a proper
2:36
household manager and he and over are talking with each other so actually we have a complete
2:42
australian perfect managed household here okay it’s white washed with this clean
2:49
floor there there are actually servants who clean the floor after the fraxions no we can’t afford servants like that no
2:56
they’re free for booze but we do have a manager we have a met we have two we have
3:02
co-managers one’s praxion himself so he’s probably yeah i’m not sure i’m
3:08
not sure that uh the occasional traction licking beer off the floor is considered cleaning
3:14
but i mean it is yeah i’m fine with that that’s perfectly okay we can just get a lot of sand
3:22
and just just get it all over the floors very easy to keep it clean clean that
3:27
way nah all gore has 60 managed household it’s a shame that you keep bringing
3:33
orgoro everywhere you go and he’s barely ever been back at the villa that’s the reason why
3:39
he has a good twin he’s also if i remember i think he’s
3:45
pretty well catatonic or something having to grow had groomed
3:51
had a very bad week that’s the reason why he now jumps into
3:57
the put making the villa actually nice again and managing the household because he does
4:02
that if i recall it didn’t moving session didn’t he of the magnificent butt offered to
4:08
purchase or girl from you yes yes or garl when he gets back to
4:13
your villa he just curls up into a ball in a corner oh no after after
4:21
show how how important he is for me by forcing him to clean
4:30
my room oh poor or girl poor or girl the point
4:37
is you’ve returned back to your your dilapidated villa um
4:45
and there’s now not only you plus the how many um
4:51
uh key flunkies do you have we had seven i think plus the yes five minutes
4:58
so you know what expanded yeah that’s right because
5:04
there’s a qualitative difference between you guys and bandits um qualitative you have a seal
5:12
yeah you have a you have a piece of paper yeah we’re legal um so i’m just wanting to get
5:19
kind of uh a little impression for your return to this it’s kind of
5:25
like returning to uh a slightly a somewhat run-down
5:31
uh uh
5:36
well it’s exactly what it is a slightly run-down looted house that you took um at spear point to a
5:43
sword point from its previous owners and then have turned into a
5:49
a drinking establishment what’s what’s the area looking like now
5:55
because most of the houses around here are occupied by a storm so it must kind
6:01
of just fit in with the rest of the street right oh it totally fits in with the rest of the street it’s it’s
6:06
it’s got that you know it’s it’s got that freshly conquered look to it
6:13
you know um uh you you
6:18
maybe there’s i don’t know if that any of the proxy and cons put any effort into um
6:27
the maintenance or whatever the the houses it it’s you you remember the movie
6:34
uh for a few dollars more right the uh clint eastwood spaghetti
6:41
western remake of yojimbo you remember how that town looked the
6:47
rundown town in this that’s kind of what your neighborhood is beginning to look like
6:53
yes i’m guessing that even you know the great where the lunars had their camp or whatever where prince argroth is
7:02
probably not you know in tip-top shape from that perspective either
7:08
so i don’t think we’re you know are any walls torn down
7:13
um not yet there we go so i think we’re doing that yet there you are gina
7:20
gina none of the walls have big holes in them yet it’s good yet
7:30
all right so you’re back is it my job i’m living in the cellar as long as the seller has no big holes
7:37
that’s fine that would be disturbing if the seller had big holes um
7:44
let’s let’s just get kind of an idea what your guys plans are here it’s about a week before the
7:50
Storm Bull high holy day if i recall yep
7:55
so um you tell me what is your guys plans in new pavis i saw
8:02
a list of things from from neil that um he suggested
8:13
um well i obviously recovery is quite important uh
8:20
we’ve got some are you injured no i i need to get some room
8:25
yeah points but now that gets a little bit complicated you can try
8:33
on let me just go to the section on recovery of room points
8:40
is it’s there is no major holy day you’ve just passed
8:45
your big high holy day yeah when you got the iron sword blessed exactly it was pretty darn good
8:52
that was a good day it’s a very good day the best day it’s it’ll only go downhill
8:58
from here but this is um this is what you can go on
9:08
what is called a minor holy day there’s usually once a week or so there is a
9:13
minor holy day um you get fewer
9:18
rune points back on this and you still have to um offer sacrifices
9:25
and and whatnot now one thing that i would like to to throw as a a um
9:35
a rules cheat for you guys for mini maxing two ways to help get rune points back a
9:41
little faster one is for you um for you to maintain
9:50
a um a holy site to your gods providing with regular
9:56
offerings and sacrificing and it’s typically this is going to be something that would cost you
10:01
somewhere between 25 and 200 lunars a season so it’s not cheap but for doing that
10:09
you get 1d3 extra room points replenished uh with a successful worship raw so
10:16
that’s a way of getting once a season 1d3 back but it means spending a lot of
10:21
money maintaining a uh
10:27
constructing and maintaining a little shrine somewhere well some of us already have that as an
10:32
advantage yes i mean i have a shrine in the cellar and i’m actually performing
10:38
uh uh some some bombing bodies and so on i’m pretty sure i’m get getting paid for it so do you have ten
10:43
you have nine ghosts to worship with you that’s the challenge you probably have
10:49
why do i need nine ghosts we need 10 10 people basically to um to have a small shrine going right
10:56
that’s what we have to do for white for the white Bull i’m not saying it’s not do we just what
11:02
we need to provide shrine no no for any shrine needs that many
11:08
okay so do they have to be living or dead that’s my question i don’t know if they
11:14
do i can give magic points i have no idea i mean i’m pretty sure i have nine
11:19
skulls there [Laughter] there’s kennels inside and names
11:27
actually engraved this is why you don’t want her to take care of you
11:32
they always and they sit there and they glow in the dark when i do my rituals
11:38
so do they count as worshippers i’m pretty sure they do
11:43
do you have the money for it how much money do i actually get
11:48
i’m not getting a lot of money for that yet amy i have money you’re not ever there whenever i’m there
11:57
or i’m doing things how often do you guys actually dare at your uh to be able to do other things whenever i
12:05
i massage a dead body into the underworld i whenever you massage a dead
12:12
body into the underworld that sounded so bad yeah
12:19
i think we should rethink our association with you
12:28
[Music] no i’m not saying service no because it sounds even worse
12:33
for the for the team the work the the
12:42
i mean from the purse of that dead body so of course i have money okay i want to
12:49
throw i just want you guys to consider that one the other one is with the approval of the temple
12:55
hierarchy cult members can commission a votive image
13:00
so basically a little statue of yourself right and that statue usually costs
13:07
between 15 and 100 lunars to make depending on how good you want yourself to look in the little statue and for each vote
13:14
of image placed in a temple during seasonal or high holy day worship ceremonies you get
13:21
one rune point replenished each season you can have as many images in the
13:27
temple as the police the priests allow but having
13:32
a image in the temple typically requires a successful loyalty to that temple
13:38
role so basically if you’re really good to your local temple so here the papas
13:45
one could be you could have little statues of you put in there to get you extra rude
13:52
points the way the idea of this is is that means that even if you’re away and not present at
14:00
the ceremony yours your votive image is oh because your statue is there praying for you
14:06
exactly okay i like it all right um and and just as an aside this was a a
14:14
um a mana point magic point rune point mini maxing idea that that
14:21
uh flashed into our mind when we were in the british museum looking at the gigantic collections of
14:27
uh cypriot votive images and we figured that temples have to be like this
14:34
so if you want you can have little terra cotta versions of yourself made and painted and placed in the in
14:41
the temple as long as the temple leaders dig you thank you that sounds
14:49
very good to me and but which temple would it be
14:57
you would be suppo would be the earth temple
15:04
could come to the Storm Bull temple i quickly have to check for
15:10
a kid okay so get some statues with for me as well
15:17
find the best statue maker okay yeah we pay for it we don’t we i want to
15:24
be clear down we don’t have a lot of money yet it’s not i’m not that’s not against gina that’s just in general right we
15:31
have enough money for some statues though yeah do you
15:37
i have some i have some money yeah personal money that’s fine but what i’m saying i have personal money if we look at the fact that of the money
15:44
we get you know half of it basically is going to go to support our group us or more and
15:52
so well nissan friend if you don’t have any personal money i could buy a statue for you
15:59
i have i have enough money to do it actually i’m pretty fortunate so far because i but i appreciate that but but my because
16:07
i think we should all do it but i just want to be clear in terms of the money that we’re coming out of the for people you i can get us a huge
16:13
amount of money but you probably don’t want that because it would involve giving up oh i don’t know the magic necklace with some gold
16:20
that we found earlier or an iron sword or all these other things right you know our wealth right now is in physical
16:26
things um we do have some weapons we’ve got some extra crossbows we’re probably gonna have to use those to sell
16:32
um one thing i don’t know from jeff is now you’ve got these dudes right these bandits for example
16:39
how much do they cost a season so you know we can i can kind of track that
16:44
okay that involves building a strategy kind of depends on how much you want to
16:50
how what standard of loving you want to give them a a free a pr full-fledged
16:57
free man statute standard of living if you want to support it costs about 80
17:05
lunars a year all right okay so if you
17:12
you think about that that um ends up uh being not quite
17:20
a wheel a season right there’s five seasons so it ends up being um
17:26
just a little bit less than that i think that’s what uh 16 winners a season yep uh
17:34
if you want to go less and treat them as tenants you can pay probably half that you just
17:41
have to allow them to commit acts of bandra tree and expect that for them to supplement
17:48
their income with a little honest theft yeah as as a pirate i have no problems
17:55
with that whatsoever garona doesn’t need to know obviously we’re just telling yeah
18:00
we’re paying them for the problem by the way i want to show you guys
18:05
because this is you’re already looking so skeptically karen i mean
18:12
he always is isn’t he pirate
18:17
okay i want to sh i want to share a picture here that always i think i have to give you
18:22
sharing rights that they’ve changed the settings here it’s kind of goofy no wait wait
18:27
let’s see give me a sec here advanced sharing options
18:35
okay jeff you are good to go sorry about that
18:42
these are what i mean by votive images so we can go down you can go down to the
18:48
little do you see the little tiny ones here you can you can have stuff like this
18:55
really nice and little ones or or little goofy ones those are probably about 15 lunar’s
19:01
a piece or you can go to you know these fine looking ones in the
19:07
middle ranks those guys are probably 25 or you can have the really neat individualized ones
19:13
for 50. or if you want to be really seen as an important person in your temple
19:18
you can go for these fine life-sized versions of yourself for a hundred liners look at how awesome
19:26
do we get more points out there everybody knows you’re a more important person
19:31
but you do not get more wrong points no but you get more status and people pay more attention to you in
19:38
your temple is this important yeah i i want one of
19:43
those you want a life-sized one yes so do i for sure i feel like i’ve been i never really got
19:50
the full credit for the ragna glare event so this is your chance this is my chance
19:57
with the warrants and everything we told everyone about that all the time basically carlo who
20:05
you know stormed in front without thinking it’s the without thinking part you
20:12
should you you said bravely
20:17
the guys guys tell me if this isn’t awesome though yeah you have your own
20:23
one of these yep in a temple yeah but we get only one magic one room
20:31
point back and let’s one two three it’s an extra one
20:36
so we can add everything you add an extra room point to what you get for each one
20:42
of these that your your cult allows you to get but anyway so you guys have to decide what you’re
20:48
going to do on on um worship uh you may want to offer
20:54
sacrifices to your god and try to get a uh a root point
21:00
uh you know a chance to make a worship role to see if you get that back you may try to get some terra cotta figures of
21:06
yourself made and placed in your favorite temple uh these are all ways that you can try to
21:12
start getting them back but it’s obviously you guys are using a lot
21:18
of room points and that means that you guys need to figure out a lot of ways to be creative
21:25
ways to to keep throwing that wealth that you’ve taken and
21:30
try to get um magic from the gods
21:38
so um i mean i i liberated some zombies and children’s way into the
21:44
underworld um so um that is this enough to actually roll on
21:51
room points when i’m in front of my little shrine again no you need in order to go to your your
21:58
shrine to actually get much out of it you need to actually offer sacrifices
22:05
in a temple and the title why don’t you convince the earth temple to set up a
22:10
nice a better shrine for taikora tech and that way that they would
22:16
you would be able to get them to bring in and help you out
22:21
how good is the taiko attack shrine in the earth’s temple it’s a minimal uh shrine
22:29
well the main goddess here let’s think about this the main goddess in new pavis uh there’s arnalda
22:37
let me see what other shrines she may have in her tunnel
22:48
boys guys are just filled with questions today aren’t you
22:54
you started it very hard directly behind my computer yeah we were
23:00
just going to visit the dwarves and ransacker building in crook street
23:05
um back toxic practical stuff i mean visit visit the tenant on crook
23:12
street you do have style called breast i really
23:19
like you oh okay thank you brazen and
23:24
yes
23:34
okay let’s see that is in the public sector
23:41
temple to the earth it
23:48
is this temple is a perfect cuban shape counting its basements the earth
23:54
temple is home to the most important cult in new pavis arnold of the earth mother
24:00
built of stone blocks uh statues of the goddess and her many
24:05
daughters are carved into the walls uh the temple descends into the earth where the most important ceremonies and
24:12
rituals are performed men are not permitted into the underground chamber
24:17
the womb of the goddess so it seems to me
24:24
that it is i’d say given its importance regionally
24:31
this counts is um a large major uh temple so it’s going to have shrines
24:38
to arnold to the green goddess uh to
24:44
azerelia to taikora tech to babiester gore
24:51
and to voria and the husband deity that is worshipped here
24:57
are orlanth and yumalio both claim status as a husband deity
25:05
so it’s a shrine this is where the shrine to tychora tech is
25:12
good then i go there and convince them that it’s very important to
25:17
um pay a lot of attention to the taiko attack run do you have a loyalty to the to the
25:23
pavis earth temple no why should i
25:31
that’ll help you in this stuff i have a loyalty to the holy country country and i have been um listening to
25:38
as julia
25:43
okay so claudia this is an important question for gina it works both ways if you want them to
25:51
support you they have to expect that you support them
25:57
and that is expressed through the loyalty passion
26:06
i think you have a very high loyalty to that so you’re saying loyalty with Argrath
26:14
it’s not worth it okay okay your other options
26:21
sorry sorry i mean i’m coming from australia i mean sorry i grew up in the necropolis
26:27
next to to notch it i know what it means to be to to worship and now that that’s not right
26:34
here which is totally fine uh
26:39
it just means that they’re not going to be terribly thrilled with the um um
26:47
the idea of doing anything uh there for you now there is another
26:53
option and that is shrine yes
27:00
i have my skulls you can try you can spend one rune point
27:09
each time to do a and anyone can do this to sanctify a place you can cast
27:17
one um spend one run point to spend it perform your worship ceremony and
27:24
hope that you get some amount back yep i’m doing that okay my last point
27:31
well we have to see okay oh you can knock it off and we can roll
27:36
on it how about the rest of you guys i don’t think i need to do that i think i’d rather put in a votive and um
27:44
try and do it on a minor holy day for orland
27:50
holy day what are you going to offer as a sacrifice
27:55
i don’t know pig something like that not a not a full cow
28:01
or anything like that i don’t think not for that considering you’ve got a high holy day coming and we
28:08
don’t have a lot of you know i don’t want i’m not i don’t want us to dwindle the herd down because we need to
28:13
use that to fund the whole place of people it’s like two lunars for a pig
28:22
okay
28:27
how about you Kulbrast um i i still have all my points okay
28:35
how about you Garan uh i’m going to offer a pig
28:43
to the uh the temple of your marks okay you can we can also spend a bit of time
28:48
meditating in that before ritual to increase our worship chances by the way um if i were you
28:56
i’m gonna spend my own money and buy a cow
29:01
bike how do you mean uh buy cinnamon i really dislike them so they’re perfect
29:06
for sacrificing but i’m not gonna use our herd i’m going to buy one
29:12
i mean they’re expensive they’re they are they are 20 lunars i have 389 on my sheets
29:20
i’m fine okay wow that is an impressive um and claudia
29:27
what are you going to offer tycoor attack you’re going to have a picnic in your backyard
29:35
i will i will actually yes i will have a feast a cake
29:44
what is actually really eggs are very earth animal oriented dog
29:52
dogs a nice black pick
30:00
okay so i’m gonna give you a bunch of bonuses onto your um
30:08
your your uh chances here and then you can make your your meditate
30:14
to see if you improve those of you guys that offered a pig that’s worth plus 10
30:20
to your worst worship those of you who offered a bull that’s worth plus
30:26
20 to your worship those of you um each of you guys you’re not going to
30:33
get a sacred day bonus because you’re just kind of doing it where you can
30:39
uh claudia you get no bonus for your location because it’s in your basement
30:46
um i’m just thinking how much was a ball 20. then i get gopher bull actually
30:54
okay that adds 20. um all the rest of you guys get a um sorry uh
31:02
a gina you get a plus 10 from the temple because you’re doing this to storm bull
31:09
uh no not gina
31:14
uh Garan you get a plus 20 because you’re doing it at the actually uh in color you also get a plus 20. uh
31:21
and because you’re doing this at the uh air temple nisk and cobras if you are
31:27
it’s worth a plus 30. cobras doesn’t need to do it although he’s welcome to
31:33
come we’d love you to come i mean i’m coming along it just don’t you know yeah it’s free food cold rest yeah
31:40
exactly hey so who always uh augmenting with meditate i’ll try and do that
31:52
thirty three success okay so that adds 20 more in color i feel you lose
32:01
the minus 20 isn’t it i uh let me just double check i believe it
32:08
is i hate dice rolls because you want them always to be
32:13
successful i understand this jeff i have an eighty percent chance and what do i roll in
32:18
89 you brought it 89 did you uh so you
32:24
failed your augment for dance yes so you’re also going to be
32:31
um i have a minus here just give me one second that’s not true i have a net 90 on dance
32:37
oh i just made it so there you are
32:44
add uh 20 to your uh your chance on worship
32:52
i just need to look up something really quick yes
32:59
i’m the only person with a high worship you guys just aren’t devout no i’m actually not that bad so yeah
33:07
like you lost 20. gary
33:14
i’m sacrificing a ball that takes me to that gives me sorry not a ball a pig and
33:20
i’ve got plus 20 from the location so i’m already
33:26
past 100 so i’m just not risking it okay so everybody roll for your
33:32
um chances of getting points back okay i succeed with an 87. okay
33:40
i succeed with a 65. i succeed this is 74. i succeed with the 50. hey each of you
33:48
get back 1v6 rune points
33:54
yeah i’m full i wasn’t down all the way so i i
34:01
rolled a five but i have only can i have more than three yeah you can that’s true you gotta
34:08
sacrifice a rune point permanent power
34:14
and then you get a new spell a new rune spell yep you’re gonna should do that
34:21
17 going below 17 from a you know min max percentage is really bad because then your skills get worse yeah
34:28
but i have 18 i get no i know i know i’m saying so for you going from 18 to 17 is really good
34:34
yeah my 17 to 11 drop was half the level do that so i have now a
34:40
power of 17. [Music]34:47
you need um offer though you need to offer the earth temple
34:53
again yeah you need to offer them because they need to teach you the rights and whatnot
35:00
they are willing to teach you um um the the special prayers and rights for a
35:06
new rune spell it will cost you 100 lunars yes okay this is one of the nice things
35:14
here no see money comes in and what happens i planted your games way too long jeff
35:21
you’re never going to get rich and adaptive it’s just reality well economics right
35:31
yeah the more you do the more you spend
35:37
i’m gonna spend a hundred lunars of my personal wealth
35:44
to um get a life-size votive of um
35:50
yeah of my character if they’ll let me uh row against your loyalty to the high
35:57
priest of this temple now this oh well protect the target i mean that’s Argrath
36:03
all right yes no problem whatsoever okay so
36:11
what was that no i’m gonna do that too but i didn’t mean to
36:17
didn’t mean to interrupt sorry so what kind of rune spell can i have
36:25
what’s up hey do you currently have command ghost summon dead you know what like brave and
36:32
spirit block you know what might be a really useful one and there’s all the easy regular
36:38
ones yeah what might be a really useful one you is for you is a spell called turn undead
36:47
would turn undead into um
36:53
turn undead makes the undead want to flee from you
36:59
yes i take it and we’re going to go fight undead and gary you got all your spells back
37:07
yep and turn undead is a one-point spell
37:12
it is stackable this stackable spell affects one dead creature uh for each
37:19
point sacrificed the caster must attempt to overcome each uh target’s
37:27
magic points with your own power and then based on the result i look at
37:32
the turn undead table
37:41
good um so you could for instance attract them
37:48
and then turn them and while they shuffle away in panic we can you know throw javelins and stuff
37:55
at them yes jeff
38:00
i have a question and i need you maybe here because i have scribbles on my character sheet
38:07
and i think these are notes from you and not from me what do they say kill them all that’s a
38:14
question i don’t know if this is money or something different you put on or these are numbers and
38:22
a word i cannot read and um yeah well i don’t think i need to see
38:29
it right now do i i don’t know i i i think this is i’m pretty sure money
38:35
[Laughter] show your character sheet onto the screen
38:42
you scribbled you see what you scribbled
38:50
this is definitely your handwriting the 180s is 320 160 and
38:55
something up here i cannot read sure it has nothing to do with anything
39:03
why do you write it down on my character sheet i don’t know maybe i was looking for a scrap piece of paper i don’t know anyways
39:14
let us keep going guys so it sounds like everybody got their rune points back and nisk is
39:19
having an a hundred lunar uh life-sized tara caught up um
39:27
statuette of himself made for the temple is anybody else gonna to go to the
39:34
potter’s area yeah are you all going for the
39:41
life-sized ones hell yes with the help with the helm
39:47
totally awesome how about you Garan or are you going to go for one of the tiny ones no i’m just going to have something far
39:53
smaller and less ostentatious how much
39:59
the range is from 15 to 100 uh 20 okay so i want to i want to let you
40:07
know what that kind of means here i’ll go refer for a 15 one a 15
40:14
yep okay i want to show you guys uh let me just get ourselves
40:21
i’ve got to zoom in in order to actually show this
40:27
okay so who’s let me share my my screen here
40:39
okay guys so i just want to point out you see these little tiny warriors little tiniest ones that’s what you paid
40:46
for coal breast yeah perfect for these little ones best way easiest way to get you know to get
40:52
the job done basically exactly like see this dude without any feet you know just kind of with a little helmet on it
40:59
obviously who he is it’s got one it’s got one arm in order to look more accurate
41:05
yep well many of them have actually see yes they broke off he he’s probably sold
41:11
you a broken one probably uh for the rest of you guys
41:16
it’s um for for you Garan it’s one of these slightly taller ones
41:22
do you see the slightly taller ones yeah and then in the background we have disc
41:30
and ink you can imagine and call us with the big helmet here point and then you got yours look at yours look at yours
41:37
can i can i bargain with him i think 15 to be honest the arm is falling off
41:44
let’s be honest here okay make a bargain i’m sorry you went to go buy a regular a
41:51
broken one to get a disc that’s awesome did you succeed call brass i
41:57
just succeeded okay you succeed in getting a discount for the broken arm
42:04
so now it’s like 12 or 10 or yeah exactly and and the guys will paint these good
42:11
good so they’re they’re they’re nice and garishly painted so there you all are jot that those of
42:18
you who have done this jot down that you have that in your care um in in which store which temple
42:28
and i guess from time to time what happens is is you know when the temple fills up with votive images the priest kind of
42:35
goes around saying okay who’s paying to keep theirs and whoever
42:42
doesn’t then uh they they sweep out and they clear some room for their they go to the back room they go to the back room the storage
42:49
room i don’t think it still works all right
42:54
what’s the next thing you guys wanted to do here um i want to talk to that treasure trove guy and i think that kobras actually has
43:01
some important things he was going to do but not tell everybody ah do we need to do something secretly
43:08
crooked streeted oh yeah right um that is important
43:15
but i mean obviously everyone who wants to can come along
43:20
no i just expect you to give me a cut and i won’t say anything to Garan okay fair enough i’ll keep i’ll
43:27
i’ll be your distraction hey karen how about this training let’s just see how well these cross
43:35
oh is it time for your riding training karen
43:42
yeah so that that would be my i i did i did think about how um to pay basically the bandits and i
43:49
think what i’m going to do is make that we have one of them i’ve got to go find her name again the bandit the ones kind
43:55
of leader of the bandits she’s the head of it and basically pay her first bruce’s the full the full amount of
44:02
season and the others less right now until we make more money
44:07
get the loyalty of the leader and then they can help balance out the other ones that makes sense
44:14
okay so uh shall we jump and just do nisk’s thing and cobra saying is
44:21
there anything anybody else wanted to do gina nope okay the point is i can
44:29
i do not want
44:39
we briefly lost her okay what was that claudia no i i cannot afford a statue anymore
44:45
because i spent all my money and uh i don’t want to put it in a temple i have my own shrine you have your own
44:54
nice gothic shrine is the goth girl den
45:00
they’re mad and allowed she sits around listening to belly bella
45:07
lugosi’s dead and bajas and and susie and the banshees
45:13
doing her little dancing and such and being being moody
45:19
a little bit depressed of his chic
45:26
all right says no man ever
45:31
let’s go on to nisk uh treasure trove herbie is easy enough to
45:37
find it takes basically a day of of wandering around the bars
45:42
um uh where adventurers are likely to to hang out and treasure trove tourby
45:49
herbie is you know he’s about um he’s a middle-aged guy hunched
45:56
dark-skinned with um unruly hair forever speckled with dust and particle
46:02
uh plaster particles uh and uh he’s there without a drink before him
46:12
um uh looking um looking
46:19
at a map
46:25
and he’s alone all right he’s in one of these he’s in uh uh he’s
46:32
in the the bar formally the informally known as
46:37
gimpy so i’m forget spacing on its current name
46:43
once upon a time called the temple okay
46:53
don’t see a drink beside you there my friend uh treasure trove herbie says well
47:00
i i i just spent my my last silver on this map it’s a fake
47:06
it’s a fake of course but it’s a good fake and a good fake is nearly as good as a real map
47:12
because a good fake requires some knowledge um in order to be convincing as a fake
47:20
yeah he’s i’m studying this fake to figure out what it is that the map
47:26
maker actually knew i bet you with a with a drink in your hand you’d probably be able to help figure it out a little
47:31
better hey he agrees and calls you friend um he is very
47:39
uh that that pleases him to no end um and to give an
47:46
idea drinks are pretty inexpensive
47:51
so a a clock will um be more than enough to uh
47:59
have him drink a bowl of bar of uh barley wine or five
48:07
bowls of ale because of course you guys don’t drink out of cups you drink out of bowls
48:12
yeah well i’ll definitely order a couple of rounds of ale maybe i’ll have another one later if you think about it and and
48:19
drinking out of our cups yeah exactly niska it’s like drinking remember drinking coffee at uh uh it’s shimeri odd you know you drink
48:26
it out of the ball so um i noticed that you um you managed
48:33
to sell you so you sold the map most recently and you sold it to um a guy and i’m
48:40
going to say that you know if i remember he was zarlon the magnificent ah zarlon the magnificent
48:47
um yes yes he wanted a a map to
48:54
blind king’s castle but he yes yes he he um
49:03
uh he didn’t have much money so i drew here i i made him i prepared
49:12
him a map of of what is commonly known in the area
49:17
but uh he did not want uh to pay money for research for a good map for a
49:23
good one should always pay when should always pay for additional research because then
49:30
then i can i can go to the knowledge temple i can i can i can um uh ask the scribes
49:37
and i can i can compare accounts with a much better map right did you so
49:44
so you didn’t mark the zombie ambush point did you where was the zombie ambush point well
49:52
maybe i’ll be able to tell you that there was a zombie ambush having knowing
49:57
where the zombie ambush point is is a valuable addition to any map i agree
50:04
it’s too bad that saul and the magnificent didn’t have such a knowledge of a zombie ambush point i’m
50:10
just well herbie says there is an element of
50:17
caveat emptor buyer beware um when you go for a discount map
50:25
you get discount information perhaps if they had paid for additional for a higher quality map
50:32
i would have been able to have learned so you know where the zombie ambush point is
50:37
i could but you don’t right now well i don’t know where was this one
50:45
is it wasn’t where they died or their entrails were ripped out well sorry where we found them um it was
50:53
which was on the way to blind king’s castle uh halfway up the hill ah
51:01
he asks for another drink he asks for another drink he by the way he doesn’t seem upset at all
51:06
about this he seems more than he is i’m not upset either
51:12
so i’m a little concerned because you know i was trying to get you know i want to get some information more about blind king’s castle
51:19
and yet when i find out that they got a map from you well i mean the best maps sure yep
51:27
and it didn’t mention the zombie point and all it said was that there’s you know a head of gold
51:33
and that was it i mean that’s pretty rough it would be hard to say if you know if your maps didn’t give enough
51:39
information or any warnings for adventurers i don’t know if they’d want to get more of them
51:44
i’m a little he goes through he says he goes how they i
51:52
admit they were bob zarlow right two drinks for it right he says
51:59
it was the one wheel map
52:05
you paid me one wheel which is a good amount you know if you if you if you’ve seen the map you’ll
52:12
have to agree that my drawing was
52:18
magnificent the lines were straight and clear
52:23
the hills were finally presented i i used the more expensive
52:30
and laborious process of designating the hills with with lines as opposed to
52:38
just a a an x saying there was a hill i there was care put into this but there
52:45
was only they only paid for my uh scripting services and not for
52:52
and for me to try to find out any additional information so um didn’t pay you for your research
53:00
no of course no no he just paid for for what i knew at the time
53:07
and that’s the shame that’s the shame is is that with enough research
53:12
with enough research it might be possible to make an entire map of the rubble i propose that i
53:19
propose that to the the to the new lord to our ground yes so yes to the white
53:26
bull but no no he he he did not wish to
53:33
he he he thought there might be more efficient ways to to well i mean he had a map of power of
53:40
the rubble in fact he gave me part of it personally may i see do i have it with me sure i’ve got it
53:47
with me i would have brought it with me to go visit him so i’ll show him some part of the some of the map stuff that was done
53:54
he says that was amongst his finest work
54:00
oh do i do i believe him he says he says look at the and and and uh
54:08
you guys have seen the uh uh the map here herbie is very proud of this one he is
54:15
very proud of it and and uh going to the um where is that i’m
54:23
putting into the the the slack channel there the um
54:29
the part the charter here the charter the yes if you see here in uh in our our slack
54:36
channel he he he he points out the fine lines that he used for the walls
54:43
yeah it is great work they they he even put a scale in he says that’s the he says you’d be
54:50
amazed how few cartographers ever right did they mention the scale
54:56
did they mention the um the giant
55:01
there’s a giant superb superb
55:06
he says but why is this map torn because this is my piece of the pa of the rubble
55:16
yep autograph tore his map up but it was it was big
55:24
it was to be put on a wall it would be shared among our grass companions oh he’s toby is
55:30
very sad now he says but do you have any idea how long it takes with a
55:38
just a feather quill and i will treasure this piece of it until the day i die
55:44
you should be proud you shouldn’t that but yes he recognizes and i didn’t crumple it
55:49
completely when i pulled it out of my pocket you know i didn’t have it like completely crumpled it wasn’t
55:56
but it certainly wasn’t in a fancy scroll case anyways herbie wants to know on this where the giant
56:02
was i can tell you where the giant was i
56:08
could tell you about the zombies did you kill the giant is it still there
56:14
it’s still there oh it’s worth more than this is that’s that’s that’s the mistake
56:21
that most adventurers make is they tell me about things they killed
56:26
nobody wants to know a on a map where dead things are they only want to know they want to know where
56:31
they want to know what the living things are or the zombies that destroyed our um
56:39
our friend the magnificent there uh he he says that if you buy him
56:45
another drink he will raise that drink to zarlund the magnificent all right
56:52
ending anyways he’s very pleased with you on this although he is disappointed about what happened to his map
56:58
um and i believe it’s his map he did made the map oh yes he shows you his his his
57:06
technique for drawing hills he even gets out a piece of parchment and starts
57:12
making hills okay he’s well he’s nearly as useful as um
57:20
the magnificent butt but he doesn’t demand good just some beer all right so
57:27
let’s say elsa well we are probably going to go back to that blind king’s castle
57:34
and um but i don’t think you have a map much of that area or you would have at least
57:40
stressed that to our friend our ex-friend i guess he who was killed
57:45
by zombies and so i think that right now maybe we have more to trade later
57:52
he says he says well i marked clearly i marked clearly uh at the castle
57:58
i marked the castle with the undead rune do you not see that not on my map but i’m sure you i didn’t
58:05
see his map i think it might have been and zombies are lost it is on your map
58:10
where is that the right map did you post this oh wait
58:17
okay you have a different i have a dif sorry i was looking at a different map ah i do see the undead map yes he says
58:25
i clearly marked this he says i i i clearly marked it he says
58:32
did you see the legendary zombie duck oh my goodness
58:40
oh no no i have heard stories of a zombie duck and even i have even heard stories of a
58:47
vampire centaur
58:54
[Laughter] i do not believe yeah i do not believe
59:01
the stories of the vampire duck he said he says because where will their
59:06
teeth be well the vampires grow teeth if they’re yeah good question
59:14
the idea that there is a vampire duck is simply absurd but a zombie i see your many ales in to
59:21
your conversation yes yes he’s been on ales before okay well i will thank him
59:27
and we’ve got the thing i’m not going to try and get any more information because i don’t i actually don’t believe he has that at all i think he can draw a map of a
59:34
region he’s seen but i don’t think i want to hire him to do research i’d rather just go right to the temple
59:40
if we wanted to do that today so and i’ll thank you oh yes he’s happy he
59:47
he’s how many cups of wine do you or ale do you end up buying him um i would have probably got him like
59:53
three cups maybe four i wouldn’t have had the last one though
59:58
one oh he’s happy he’s happy he he he manages to keep drinking this
1:00:05
afternoon um let’s jump over to kobras one arm
1:00:13
over on crooked street yep what is your grand technique
1:00:20
for going to the um home there this is not a villa this is with the name like crooked
1:00:26
street you get an idea that this may not be quite so nice a place and
1:00:32
zarlun the magnificent may not have been one of the first over the walls i
1:00:39
could imagine yes well the first question is is anyone else with me
1:00:46
i’d like to join okay yeah i’d like to join so yeah because otherwise i mean i could always have taken along um
1:00:52
field jar and simbon i guess but yeah carla you’re coming on it’s
1:00:57
fine so technique-wise um well first of all
1:01:03
you know take a look at the street what kind of the neighborhood is lysing
1:01:10
okay you gotta of course if you want me to join it’s not gonna be a sneaky
1:01:16
thing the same i’m not sneaking nope okay
1:01:23
are you wearing uh weapons and armor there’s this is this is the new pavements of our
1:01:28
grass so if there’s no ban on um
1:01:36
being armed to the teeth here we are probably armed pretty well uh
1:01:41
yeah just weapons and armor proudly
1:01:47
okay so the bottom floor of usually the way houses are the bottom floor is divided into
1:01:54
three rooms one of which is usually uh in one of which is a shop
1:02:00
um the general area the the central area is a general
1:02:06
cooking and eating area and the
1:02:14
there is uh usually then a third area
1:02:21
which is storage and on the second floor is divided into um either one large room
1:02:29
um or a number of smaller ones because all of the buildings more or
1:02:35
less follow a standard bit uh a standard format here
1:02:43
doors are not usually locked unless you’re somebody wealthy enough to
1:02:50
actually afford a lock so did we get the exact address
1:03:00
i think so according to my notes yes so we don’t have to you know search crook
1:03:06
street so yeah we go to this address and have a look what it looks like if there’s
1:03:11
anyone there yeah i mean the the the place that zarlyn described
1:03:18
is um it is the there is a woman there
1:03:26
um uh some kids um some servants you know it’s not like
1:03:32
a prosperous play uh not a prosperous a free man’s it’s a free man’s place and there’s a woman who wants to know
1:03:39
who you are she says that she is um uh talia and
1:03:47
uh she warns you um uh
1:03:55
that that that her uh that her man um is one of our grass
1:04:02
soldiers one is is one of the white bold soldiers and she warns you
1:04:10
not uh not to trespass here
1:04:16
there’s no shop or anything here there’s a show the shop is usually a separate room
1:04:24
area this is not a shop you go into the central area because nobody lives in the shop
1:04:31
so if you imagine maybe it would be easier to
1:04:36
very quickly sketch this so while you’re sketching i think i
1:04:43
would just ask her if you know is your husband
1:04:49
magnificent she says yes you’ve heard of him he’s met him
1:04:56
she is was so worried she’s so worried he has been in the rubble
1:05:02
for um uh two weeks yes well i’m afraid to say
1:05:10
Ty Kora Tek has caught up with him
1:05:17
she she asks what happened to him do you really tears are are welling up
1:05:25
in her eyes Kulbrast yes her eyes i’m a hardened wolf pirate i don’t you know
1:05:30
these things don’t really impress me very much it was
1:05:41
um yeah he was he was uh killed by zombies had no chance whatsoever
1:05:48
they half ate him and dragged him across the rubble
1:05:54
cold breasts so much detail the kids are there jesus just follia up first
1:06:02
into tears she bursts into tears wailing eulating
1:06:10
uh i’m not doing it with the drug and tears in her garments and saying oh oh
1:06:18
zarlune zarlund my love um and there are two small kids
1:06:25
of course who also start crying oh no i hadn’t seen the kids to be honest
1:06:53
she asks what um um uh if that um
1:07:01
what became of his body well um we
1:07:08
buried him he had a proper burial by a by one from
1:07:15
thai cortech temple she did a very good job at sending his ghost
1:07:20
to the right place
1:07:26
she asks if any if if if if if if you returned with any
1:07:32
um uh anything for that that she can put as a shrine
1:07:40
so she could feed his ghost um claudia did you
1:07:51
okay i have just a very bad internet connection yeah uh we’re talking about the uh zarlune
1:07:58
um uh did you guys bury him did you burn him what did you guys end up actually
1:08:04
i think gina built uh some sort of stone rock karen stone
1:08:23
his his transfer should have been smooth that means we can go back and get get a part of him for her
1:08:31
well i should probably make some sort of you know a bracelet or something
1:08:38
did you take anything off him of course i don’t remember oh yeah
1:08:46
did we have weapons and stuff with him yeah
1:09:04
uh and i’m presented with this
1:09:12
i’m passing you a look like are you okay
1:09:21
oh okay yeah well so thalia is gonna take zarlun’s dagger and make that to be uh the center of the
1:09:28
little family shrine um so that they can um
1:09:34
offer him libations in the other world so that that when he’s in the caves of the dead
1:09:39
he’s well fed because um uh it would be bad
1:09:45
if there was nobody there to to offer him food and drinks because then there would
1:09:50
be nothing for him to eat in the uh in the afterlife
1:09:57
so so the other thing is um you see as you would imagine it’s
1:10:04
we still have undead there and and they keep attacking people and who then meet the
1:10:10
same horrible fate um called zalun met
1:10:15
which i have described before and i was wondering we are pretty sure that
1:10:21
he was trying to do something against this threat
1:10:27
has he spoken of anything lately yes he can do he and his companions were
1:10:34
were um had had heard that there is a golden
1:10:41
head in blind king’s castle a golden head let me even see if i can
1:10:48
tell you more than just keep repeating the phrase golden head
1:10:54
one second yeah but that’s what um we heard before yes that’s where i’m
1:11:00
trying to we’re trying to get some new stuff come on give up the goods hey
1:11:07
says um uh that uh there is
1:11:16
a magical golden skull there according to zarlun or the uh
1:11:22
zarlin claimed uh he thought it might have been um uh that of a dead troll chieftain
1:11:32
or even um uh something there that holds whatever
1:11:40
uh mummy that dwells in a crypt deep beneath the blind king’s uh castle
1:11:49
uh there’s a a mummy according to zarland that dwells in a crypt beneath
1:11:54
the castle continuing its existence despite its mortal death and and zarland thought that the magical
1:12:00
golden skull was either the thing that granted the mummy its he thought it was a thing that granted the mummy its power
1:12:11
so you think if one were to remove this golden skull and possibly the evil power was just that if
1:12:18
it was a golden skull yeah it’s a golden skull it’s called skull yeah
1:12:25
it could melt it down and it’s a lot of gold yeah i’m trying to be inconspicuous here you know sounds like
1:12:31
you and zalin would have got on yeah i’m beginning to regret his
1:12:36
premature honesty and his children there want to know how he you know whether he he he died
1:12:44
heroically colerest um yes he did children um you know fighting against undead is
1:12:50
horrible they they start i mean you can see what happened to me careful
1:12:56
with the be careful with the details again oh they they can handle it
1:13:01
don’t worry so so what happens is they they start sort of biting into you and taking bits out of
1:13:07
you once you’re you live before them it’s
1:13:12
you know it’s very difficult to keep on living and the worst thing is you can’t end up
1:13:20
undead yourself so if we hadn’t found your your father at the time we found him he
1:13:26
might now very well be roaming the rubble preying on unsuspecting
1:13:32
travelers uncle callbrass tells the most terrible stories too listen to him as i
1:13:39
was trying to tell you before don’t cry but grow up and learn how to fight and then go into
1:13:47
rubble and kill zombies uncle call brass means he will keep telling some really
1:13:53
good night stories if he ever visits again but don’t listen to him oh my gosh you
1:13:58
know something these kids think cobrast
1:14:03
is like a hero out of legend right hero out of legend
1:14:12
well
1:14:21
[Music] one is bendroth and the other one
1:14:28
is um also named zarlon so that he can be zarman zarlinson
1:14:37
not quite as magnificent yet um but zarlone
1:14:46
arlington who is 12 and his younger brother bendreth who is nine zarlin is
1:14:53
determined to learn how to fight and wants to know if you will he says will you teach him how to fight
1:15:01
yes of course why not um i’m sure you’ll learn a lot all right
1:15:08
so um i also have other friends of mine who who are even better at fighting in
1:15:15
certain circumstances well i mean is a very good teacher yes
1:15:20
you should he has to be he has to be because he has only one arm which means he must be
1:15:27
twice as good as anybody else okay i got it in one point okay um yeah i sort of ruffled his hair
1:15:35
and you know give him a silver coin or something well i’ll be back and teach you how to
1:15:41
fight all right so i i want you to write down on your character sheet somewhere
1:15:47
zarlun zarlunsen age 13 years old determined to learn what age 12
1:15:55
age 12. yeah it’s determined to learn how to fight from cold breast
1:16:00
good good so anyways anthalia zarlin’s widow um is
1:16:08
she is of course worried that because of course without zarlone there is no plunder
1:16:14
um zarlun was the breadwinner there um and is thankful to youtube for
1:16:21
bringing this news but is is is is filled with there’s much crying she’s lost she’s
1:16:29
lost her man she’s lost her livelihood does she have um does she have uh i asked her
1:16:38
she doesn’t run the shop in front here does she or she have no profession at all
1:16:45
no that the the owners of the building that is um uh rent this
1:16:51
yeah so uh i have a suggestion uh the white bull will take care of you
1:16:58
guys uh and you could we could like strike whatever the expression is in english
1:17:04
like strike two flies in one hit or whatever and one stone yeah two percent i don’t
1:17:10
know i’m convinced in prax the the expression has to be strike two flies with one hit
1:17:17
with one stick i like it yes yeah um and so i do have a suggestion
1:17:24
um we could keep you and pay for you and pay for your easier for your family to train with
1:17:30
cold breaths if you came and did some we we have a we have a kind thai tech lady wanted
1:17:38
clean in our temple shrine maybe you could come clean for us and we could keep your family
1:17:44
so you’re offering to hire her as a cleaning lady yes he’s not
1:17:51
can we not like dress it up you know stupid
1:18:00
she will be paid well because she will be paid to actually be kept not just it’s gonna be fun i’ll pay for
1:18:07
my i’ll pay her at least the first year for money
1:18:16
i just think uh we’re gonna pay you to clean our shrine occasionally
1:18:22
we might offend her given that she was married who called himself the magnificent
1:18:30
which by the way i still haven’t seen any you know sort of concrete evidence of why this could have
1:18:36
been the case we call her the warden of the shrine
1:18:42
it’s it’s kind it’s kind of like you have the guy that’s like 10 feet tall and you call them tiny
1:18:47
yeah maybe you know that’s gross
1:18:52
yeah but i think she could be i mean she i i’m i’m considering the kind of pay that will actually keep her and her kids
1:18:58
in a well way but yeah we can’t just hire everyone we meet you know no but
1:19:06
the way certain things were presented here is making me feel a little bit responsible
1:19:12
and i i can pay with my own money for that
1:19:17
okay so i’ll hire her okay what are you gonna hire as
1:19:23
um what is a good um what’s a good title for someone like not
1:19:30
not manages the household but it’s in charge of aesthetics and whatever servant
1:19:38
servant to look after the shrine [Laughter]1:19:45
round keeper ground keeper that’s great yes unless uh
1:19:51
crying shrine keeper yeah a new nickname or portina is about to find out that
1:19:59
there is uh hired help here yeah and i don’t know
1:20:06
i mean that’s almost duty to to put her into work properly but we’re taking responsibility
1:20:14
for raising her kids this is the way this could say it i’m not obviously not there yet but
1:20:19
sorry we cannot take everybody in here this isn’t right but i do feel a certain
1:20:25
amount of responsibility as a protection protection of you know Orlanth protecting or nalda
1:20:31
and the fact that someone has been left without a with their kids unable to just wander plus we get two new recruits that we can
1:20:38
potentially start training and there’s a lot of use for good 12 9 and 12 year old boys when you’ve got a
1:20:44
whole pile of military guys to help them do stuff like that they can they can easily easily um
1:20:50
earn their keep and provide a lot of value for us at the same time we can provide them protection and food which
1:20:56
is right now what they do i’m pretty sure there are a lot of street orchards you can actually hire for
1:21:02
if you want to have more of these you’re right but these ones there’s a certain obligation that this guy was you know killed when
1:21:07
their father died on our land so yeah yeah they were zombies
1:21:20
[Laughter]1:21:25
i mean
1:21:32
don’t talk to the strange lady just dangerous you’re dangerous
1:21:55
all right i think i think that that’s fine cool brows you do and as long as i do not have anything to do with them
1:22:00
okay no don’t worry it’s not my business you’re not really that blessed to be around gina i
1:22:07
don’t think he’s gonna actually i
1:22:16
these are young adults so i can actually teach them how to power powered and being demoralized
1:22:23
and or a little bit yeah away from those kids gina
1:22:28
and how to wear black i can make proper goth out of them we need to get those kids away from
1:22:35
something is just wrong no believe in death
1:22:43
yeah you could train them as hairdressers i said sorry gary you should actually you should actually
1:22:48
join me and you should support me here uh gina i know i know that
1:22:55
our gods have have much in common but when it comes to our treatment of
1:23:00
the living i uh i i think there we part ways the
1:23:06
point is i do not treat the living i only treat the death yes and you can’t awake the day when
1:23:11
they yeah it’s your enthusiasm for them to cross
1:23:18
i mean think about embalming bodies you know and what is more fun somebody rings the
1:23:24
massage i think yeah so cold brass i don’t think that’s what you expected when you went
1:23:30
there no but we have the information we were looking for so we have and i think you
1:23:36
um i think you’re you did it you did you did a good job i think you both did i’d like to thank you for
1:23:41
your compassion and your generosity now this is good
1:23:49
[Laughter] well i i have to admit this was a a
1:23:56
totally random unplanned character development opportunity here
1:24:02
uh is there any more information gathering rituals sacrifices or anything
1:24:10
else you want to do other than putting uh thalia and her two kids to work in
1:24:17
your villa your villa now has a staff of three plus two kids doesn’t it
1:24:24
i thought actually we had about five people in the staff you have about five okay we had five before nine and 12.
1:24:32
nine and twelve and these are two boys yeah i mean they’re actually with twelve
1:24:38
they’re not kids anymore they haven’t done an initiation right they’re still a kid they’re a kid
1:24:44
yeah but they they’re a kid they’re not allowed they can do labor but they’re still you can’t make
1:24:49
them labor they’re just they’re they’re they’re kids they’re they’re yeah but they they can work i mean
1:24:54
yes exactly of course we’re not denying that they are gonna work they’re gonna clean weapons they’re gonna tidy stuff they’re gonna
1:25:01
earn their keep and they’re gonna learn how to hold a sword what is maybe let’s learn the magnificent name what if you bring these
1:25:08
kids to wind whistler and the wind not yet oh
1:25:13
so much so that’s such an experiment one one step after after the other and you
1:25:19
you complain about me she wasn’t i don’t think the plan was
1:25:24
for her to offer them his food to windows no no as long as he can
1:25:29
prove they’re intelligent they’re safe yeah although for a moment i was
1:25:34
thinking this is some sort of vidcolo has had some sort of bf skinner uh experiment you know
1:25:41
let us see what happens when we bring small children to be raised by a wyrm
1:25:48
i i fear they would become quite even stranger than gina probably
1:25:54
imagine the kind of knowledge they’ll be able to absorb from that wyrm when they’re that young
1:25:59
that means right let me know if you see it there’s nothing wrong to be do to be
1:26:05
raised in an acropolis i mean that’s fine yes it’s perfectly fine
1:26:11
maybe the kids should also go to a necropolis i know
1:26:18
i do i’d rather have them raised by wind whistling and have them raised in populists to be honest
1:26:26
we have to discuss this we don’t really have to discuss this we don’t
1:26:31
because they’ll stay here in our house and still i i do not like your attitude
1:26:37
colebrook but he doesn’t get a great attitude no
1:26:42
no no somehow you do not take me serious oh i do i think that’s a problem
1:26:53
all right is there any other information you’re wanting to gather in new pavis no i only have personal matter which is
1:27:00
the darn spirit always hovering over me yes i need that it’s
1:27:07
killing my sleep it’s making me wake up with like a start every morning it’s not really it’s it’s
1:27:15
making me well yeah so uh i would like to uh you we could do this
1:27:22
off screen but i’d like to consult another fellow shaman on the issue
1:27:29
and okay let’s do that off screen yeah we can do it off-screen but i’m just saying that it’s something i want to spend time okay that’s a good one
1:27:35
that’s a good one is there anything else you’re wanting to do in new patmos because i would like us to go
1:27:40
for the the clearly one of the other things on your list before making your raid on blanking’s
1:27:46
castle which will probably now happen next week is setting up your uh new
1:27:54
um your new digs at uh griffin gate oh oh no i forgot there
1:28:01
is actually one thing and that is we know now that there might be an actual vampire
1:28:06
we should we should find someone to get gather information about vampires force that we could prepare
1:28:12
i can get spells that might work you know things like that well there’s a
1:28:17
link in my temple there’s also a cult that really hates vampires that one of you already walks to who
1:28:25
mocked yeah could you make a and i believe you’re even from the
1:28:31
milani tribe right akalimo are you calling bar even better
1:28:38
same as nisk um the would you roll against your who mocked
1:28:45
lore your color who mocked well indeed it’s a knowledge skill
1:28:54
yes that is a success with 38
1:29:02
against 43. okay vampires are um people that that
1:29:11
for twisted reasons have decided to dedicate
1:29:17
themselves to vivimort vivimort is a
1:29:24
sword of god um he’s one of the lords of terror he’s a he’s a one of the the the chaos
1:29:33
gods who um vivimor was wounded by chaos
1:29:42
and his soul began to bleed out into the void threatening him with
1:29:49
total extinction he made a bargain with the devil
1:29:54
for continued existence uh and now feeds on the power the souls
1:30:01
and blood of of other mortals in order to maintain his own existence
1:30:08
his own cowardly existence that is neither dead nor alive who mocked
1:30:15
who believes there needs to be very very strict black lines between
1:30:22
the dead and the living hates vivimort
1:30:28
and but the vivimort cult uh has great power
1:30:35
in the upland marsh near the kolimar lands where there is a a terrible entity
1:30:42
called delecti the necromancer um who is a very ancient vampire
1:30:50
and is served by uh many vampires out in the upland marsh
1:30:55
and they have the ability to raise zombies skeletons and bring the d and
1:31:02
animate the dead um [Music] uh does this sound familiar
1:31:11
and uh vampires are uh vampires are cursed by many many
1:31:18
gods so they have all sorts of restrictions on how they can act and you know and in what
1:31:25
circumstances they can act they they are creatures of darkness so they avoid the light
1:31:32
they’re hated by the river sticks
1:31:37
cursed vivimort in the underworld so vampires can’t cross running water and
1:31:44
most of all they are very susceptible to uh humac’s rune of death
1:31:51
thai quarter tech also hates vampires i do so my god is just yes
1:31:58
but who mocked um uh in the who mocked cult in in sartar uh carries on
1:32:06
a low level uh war of attrition with the uh the forces of the marsh
1:32:13
so is that helpful information do i do i know anything about
1:32:20
whether vampirism affects different uh species differently
1:32:28
so would say a vampire centaur be more dangerous or less dangerous or
1:32:35
well a vampire is much stronger than a human
1:32:41
right would you know much stronger put it in the light i’m sorry sorry
1:32:48
they are much stronger than humans they can they um uh they can turn into mist
1:32:57
um they have no soul and no spirit only what they drain from
1:33:05
their their prey but um the i you know the idea if of of a
1:33:13
vampire human is much stronger than a human i would imagine a vampire centaur would be much
1:33:18
stronger than a centaur and centaurs are very strong right so so if you actually do find a vampire
1:33:26
centaur we’re in trouble you’ve never heard of trouble as a vampire duck you’ve never heard of
1:33:33
it there are ducks in the marsh um the ducks but you’ve never heard of a
1:33:38
vampire duck ducks are very against the undead yeah they they hate yes the ducks hate being dead here’s the
1:33:45
other thing wear with their teeth yeah yeah don’t you know don’t even start oh
1:33:51
i mean count dokula managed so which is uh that i i have to admit
1:33:58
there’s the example of count ducula and that certainly no that’s
1:34:04
fine they exist okay so that makes me Garan would a light wall
1:34:11
weaken a vampire uh would it it was
1:34:19
yelm that cursed them not just not starlight or light
1:34:26
so it’d have to be sunlight sunspear or something like that
1:34:31
and that but that’s not i don’t think anyone of us could but having the ability to cast light spells is
1:34:38
really important if we’re going to go underground we learned that last time you can bump your head if you try and go
1:34:44
in somewhere it’s really dark in there we only have little little who bumped their head really bad
1:34:49
last session a session or two ago was that gina yeah now that it was two sets you know
1:34:55
three sessions ago wasn’t it yeah i could actually i could actually cast the light wall on myself
1:35:02
and be the beacon and have it permanent [Music] because of my ability to walk around it
1:35:09
like you can cast a light on something i think you catch a light walls don’t move it’s a physical
1:35:15
line can’t you actually concentrate and shape them no not really you think so
1:35:23
the light spells themselves so you can cast a light spell on shields that’s good stuff like that right for fighting the
1:35:29
darkness about griffin gate um how are we going to do that
1:35:37
you tell me what’s your plan on this
1:35:43
well the question is where we you know will we all live there or is it just a sort of a way station or um
1:35:49
[Music] what do you want to do um i think i would i
1:35:56
yeah so i i think it’s interesting to go there too i’d stay there especially for our
1:36:02
our accounts of that we probably want to have some people and maybe you know we’ve got some already lined up
1:36:08
in fact we can we’ve got you know to stay at the shrine which we have um and then we can come back to that
1:36:14
frequently as needed because it’s not that far to town um but i agree i think we should look at
1:36:19
what we can do to set up there our challenge is what do we do you know can we hurt keep our herds there how
1:36:25
does that work you probably have to look at all that stuff we have a big enough group to be able to do that by the way
1:36:32
but you’d have to send some of them out to watch after the herds and come in or hire a couple practices to help us
1:36:37
with the herds um because there are other groups that
1:36:42
stay in the rubble but there’s probably more we need to do first i mean not not for us personally just go
1:36:47
there but if you think about it we’ve probably got to deal with a brew and then learn a lot more about the
1:36:54
giant beforehand because i think the giant can kind of move around more but the brew are there like right there the giants
1:37:01
underground or supposedly i don’t know i really hate
1:37:06
somalia worshippers as well so that’s who don’t you hate can i can i just ask
1:37:12
that i mean oh wait wait we know that but they’re not allowed to like them it’s a rexxaran um
1:37:20
but yeah i think we should look at setting it up so we can leave spend several nights there you know if we look at i mean it
1:37:26
certainly saves a lot of time for transit back and forth and we can start clearing cleaning it up and getting it sorted out
1:37:34
so here’s a question i have you’ve got a large number of people here you could have ever been it’s not that
1:37:40
far remember it’s it’s only a couple of kilometers away from new pavis to um uh the griffin gate
1:37:48
and you’ve got what um you know 15 16 people now yeah
1:37:55
you could carry a lot they can carry a lot of stuff there and you’ve got pack animals and whatnot
1:38:01
you can carry um a lot of supplies and and gear and whatnot and set that up
1:38:09
as a base this session if you want
1:38:19
we can set up you know it it might not even have to be in the griffin gate immediately if we’re
1:38:25
worried i will ruin curtains we could set it up just outside
1:38:30
i think it’s gonna be so much safer when the the brewer are not gonna come and mess with um
1:38:35
whisper right he’s you’ve got you’ve got somebody upstairs who you know will basically keep them away and also
1:38:47
all got good battle rolls so we can we can put together a good sort of set of fortifications even if
1:38:52
they’re only temporary okay
1:38:59
all right so um give me an idea we don’t need to have this at this
1:39:05
point down to incredible specificity but give me an idea what you’re having your your your band all bring over
1:39:12
to griffin gate so gina your flute over
1:39:20
packs a lot of hair brushes different ones if you need more bins so
1:39:27
because i do not want to have the same hairbrush as he used for a baboon um we i need a lot of
1:39:34
bomb and body oil and so on for for corpses and some extra candles and so on so i
1:39:43
can use a proper ritual maybe a skull or two um
1:39:49
yep sharpening my eggs only in case
1:39:54
so very practical things very practical things and of course extra class makeup and so
1:39:59
on but this is something overpacks anyways
1:40:06
all right how about from the rest of you guys to have an overall idea of what you would imagine
1:40:12
yeah um okay what you’ve got a lot of people to carry stuff and a lot of animals
1:40:19
well i i really do like my bed i will bring my bed my bedroll sleep
1:40:26
roll bedding um other than that i usually i’m a nomad i carry all my
1:40:33
belongings so i pack up my hazia my extra shifts to clothing and
1:40:41
the important stuff just like gina
1:40:48
everything we’re gonna need food
1:41:13
is a good call then i’m already thinking my main concern is
1:41:18
is making it defensible so like shovels and stuff to dig some ditches even if they’re not that deep
1:41:24
and some stakes that we can shovels we have a big door don’t we can we close
1:41:29
the door i mean even even so even so some layers a couple of months yeah you want layers outside the
1:41:36
main entrance of the of the gatehouse for now okay do we need to sacrifice animals
1:41:42
you probably need to bring some animals you probably want to bring up like uh something so we can get milk and stuff
1:41:48
like that as well the thing is that until we deal with more of the brew we can’t bring too many animals because
1:41:54
they’re probably going to get attacked how about we don’t take the whole
1:42:00
you know our whole crew with us at all but actually leave most of them there
1:42:05
and just us five plus two or three
1:42:11
um you know sort of additional fighters you mean to go to the um i want
1:42:17
to bring the bandits i want the bandits to live in the rubble i don’t want them to i i don’t want to
1:42:24
put leave like the five bandits alone in our shrine they can come along no
1:42:31
problem well i’m not sure i want to leave them if we decide to go back to
1:42:36
paris at any point i’m not sure i want to leave them alone in a fortified griffin gay no win-win
1:42:43
sorry i keep forgetting yeah yeah we’ve got we’ve got a world yeah they can yeah good call they can stay in the rubble
1:42:50
yeah i mean specifically we want to give a base and we want to make sure that they’re going to get a more comfortable deal out of it
1:42:55
they’re really still bandits they’re just our bandits not somebody else’s bandits um to me but i thought
1:43:02
we should definitely if you think about it we should see if we can get i’m sure we can some simple things like tables and just
1:43:09
to make it a place to live you know we’ll need the pots and pans you know this is basically you know
1:43:14
setting up a a permanent a semi-permanent residence okay yeah over orgo
1:43:22
can actually put everything together to manage your household
1:43:27
so how much time do you want to spend uh setting this up and that’s gonna kind
1:43:35
of give me an idea of um what sort of condition this thing is
1:43:42
going to be in when we start uh start again is it basically just setting it up like you would a camp
1:43:50
or a little more than a camp but but not more but yeah like a think of your weekend cabin
1:43:55
as opposed to in getting that stuff going that’s probably the closest so basically
1:44:02
you’re spending about two days to set this thing up because we’ve got it we’ve got only got a couple of days for exploring it’s
1:44:07
probably what’s going to happen and then we want to be back for the Storm Bull high holy day
1:44:13
but then we’ve also got enough equipment that we can stay which season do we have right now it’s
1:44:19
storm season about halfway through i think
1:44:29
yeah it is you are let’s see last week and i’m gonna say
1:44:35
you guys pretty much well spent most of fertility week doing the stuff that you guys did
1:44:43
all right because you guys did a lot of stuff during that week
1:44:49
you guys did sacrifices yada yada so i’m gonna say that it is now
1:44:55
wild day of fertility week Storm Bull s high holy day is one week
1:45:02
from now okay and jot that down onto the the uh uh into the notes
1:45:10
and that means with two days of setup we will get actually to
1:45:16
we’re going to start the next session uh the morning of fire day
1:45:23
of stasis the freeze day of stasis week so the first day of stasis week so
1:45:30
you’ve got one two three four five days before
1:45:35
orox uh storm bulls holy day and given that you’re less than an hour
1:45:40
less than an hour away from the temple that shouldn’t be a problem
1:45:46
but wind whistler is very pleased by all of this
1:45:52
wind whistler is he is that the wyrm is very pleased um
1:46:00
he offers to he he says um this is like it was
1:46:07
he is very pleased humans and um uh dragons coexisting it’s the way it
1:46:14
should be um uh this was the path of the sun dragon
1:46:21
the sun dragon the sun dragon was a dragon but he was also a great
1:46:27
ruler of men did perchance also have to do with
1:46:34
with monkeys says i didn’t know they were sentient
1:46:44
i really sorry as as oro boros is my witness i thought they were
1:46:51
sentient they
1:47:00
does the sun dragon know oh well do you know anything about um
1:47:07
light spells yeah things blessed of yell that we might take if we were to fight
1:47:13
vampires given your great knowledge of the sun drag
1:47:20
hmm he says vampire he says uh uh
1:47:25
vivimort was of course cursed by the uh um
1:47:32
by the powers of the sun and therefore is cursed by the sun dragon um
1:47:39
he he he says
1:47:48
um he may have knows something he’s
1:47:55
he um he goes to a corner of um
1:48:03
he actually asks you because he tried who who does actually when whistler talk to
1:48:08
the most is it coal brass is it Garan who who seems to have the strongest connection
1:48:15
with windlessler could be any of you are i think he’s i think he’s cold rust
1:48:20
cold brushed he needs your help he has no hands
1:48:27
sorry um he wants you to come up to where um to the top
1:48:34
level of the gatehouse if one hand is enough of course
1:48:40
and it’s something he does not want anybody else um uh going up to where he resides
1:48:48
without his invitation he says that that is only good manners
1:48:55
absolutely but he gives you the right to go up there and up on the top floor um uh
1:49:02
of the um of the gatehouse it’s pretty clear i’m not gonna have to set
1:49:07
things up so that i know each of the floors here um there is a corner where he has
1:49:15
accumulated treasure there are
1:49:22
broads there are there are more than a half a dozen broadswords there’s piles of silver
1:49:29
coins there’s a small pile of piles of coins silver gold copper
1:49:38
there’s some gems stacked up in his pile uh some jewelry um
1:49:45
but he asks you to grab the spear that’s there with the broadswords yeah
1:49:53
i take this beer and i just want you to could you make a search or a scan
1:49:59
[Music] or an evaluate do you have the evaluate skill yes i do
1:50:04
[Music] 45.
1:50:10
yep there’s easily
1:50:17
over if you totaled this all this stuff up there might be as much as a thousand
1:50:23
lunars piled up here okay i’m just saying Kulbrast yeah yeah i
1:50:30
know so win-wise that’s quite a fine treasure you have here have you traded all this he says
1:50:39
um uh most of it is from foolish people um uh
1:50:46
that would not um that insisted on fighting him
1:50:51
just a word to the wise don’t show this to you know bandits people like that
1:51:03
because you might have realized that some of our companions are shall we say have not always been
1:51:09
blessed with good fortune in life and have made up with it with creative ways of
1:51:14
getting other people’s money
1:51:20
and at this point he he he he bristles and he says those that would take from
1:51:26
him he would devour fairies fair
1:51:35
[Laughter]1:51:47
and the now you can notice this it is not a bronze spearhead it is an iron
1:51:54
spearhead on the spear and it is marked with the rune of light okay
1:52:04
of light and truth
1:52:11
and he thinks that this might have some um utility
1:52:18
but it may re may need to be blessed by um
1:52:25
a a a sun priest let me see if he actually is
1:52:33
well he is a priest of the sun dragon i will have to ponder
1:52:40
um i will have to ponder quite um whether he
1:52:47
what what what he can do with this and so i’ll have to be reminded but he thinks that this may be useful against
1:52:52
them at the very least he says that that um a good spear he was told long ago
1:53:00
by by one of your kind that a good solid spear is always worth something that is true
1:53:08
indeed and it’s a very fine speed but this is a good so i’ve got that
1:53:14
you’re gonna have um i will ha i now have a lot of stuff to put together and notes so it sounds like next session
1:53:20
we will get that all what your location is and how that
1:53:26
works and we will dive immediately in to your our is your plan to
1:53:31
go to blind kings hill or is your plan to find the giant or your plan to find the brew that’s it
1:53:38
it’s the hill okay so next section will be blind yes
1:53:44
yes but before that if there’s an opportunity to speak to win worcester the greatest
1:53:50
wonderfully beautiful wind whistler um he is beautiful his his scales are so
1:53:55
iridescent and his feathers are magnificent he’s radiant um i want to tell him about the
1:54:02
story that we heard of the mummy living beneath blind kings hill and uh
1:54:08
the thought of the golden skull which might be a dark troll they weren’t sure keeping the mummy
1:54:16
alive he says well i he’s he suspects that
1:54:22
there are vampires in the there there is a vampire in this uh the area
1:54:27
he he suspects that yeah um but it says vampire make um would a
1:54:34
vampire also create zombies that makes sense yes that’s why he’s he says it’s either vampires or
1:54:40
xerox around so you don’t think there’s a mummy as well somewhere in there
1:54:47
mummy vampire well he doesn’t have hands mummy right
1:54:55
same thing i mean what is the difference between a mummy and a zombie and clock
1:55:04
says he doesn’t know what’s the difference between um uh a mummy and a really old vampiring
1:55:12
cloth you’re in my nose gary might know yeah
1:55:19
i have no idea do i know could be undead undead or
1:55:27
i mean it’s it’s the undead who knows what happened i mean delecti it’s
1:55:34
known whereas um he’s so old he he’s he wears his bodies
1:55:41
out and possesses new corpses one day somebody’s gonna have to deal
1:55:47
with that abomination so um
1:55:54
i mean vampires um very old vampires are
1:56:00
like anything that has been around for a very long time they they they tend to accumulate tricks
1:56:07
and secrets that take lifetimes to master but they have lifetimes
1:56:16
any other questions from for wind whistler right now
1:56:23
then i would like to have this be a good stopping point for um uh
1:56:31

1:56:46
has a soft spot for kids this is really strange but you know you
1:56:52

1:56:59
and then claim them as his own yeah well you know let’s take this
1:57:06
