0:10
welcome back to another episode of the chaosium house runequest campaign the
0:16
white bull uh i’m jeff richard and i will be your gm with me is neil
0:22
robinson linda borgen claudia loroth philip glass
0:27
and of course richard august um well let’s just dive in this is like
0:32
what episode i don’t know 20 30 something number 19 jeff number 19. number
0:38
it’s not counting the ones we didn’t record before we started oh yeah with a great battle on with a great
0:43
battle yeah exactly all that stuff that happened where Garan almost got himself killed oh yes
0:49
yes and cool almost being the operative phrase
0:54
i were all very relieved when you actually actually lost an arm that’s all i’m saying for those of you
1:00
in our viewing audience that are um curious about this is a one of the chances for me to many weeks
1:08
after people raise these questions for me to answer them is for people that are curious why i don’t
1:14
require my players to always roll for spirit magic
1:19
outside of combat it’s because i get really tired of watching them roll the dice over and over again until they
1:25
succeed so i only require dice rolling when actually there it is in a stressful
1:30
situation otherwise give them enough time and they’ll pull it off so anyways i thought that would be for
1:37
those in the viewing audience who are curious about this we we pretty much will follow the rules but you know fun and excitement
1:45
carry us away and let’s jump in with the fun and
1:50
excitement because if you guys recall it you have returned to paris after running away from blind kings hill
1:58
retreat expeditiously retreating was a strategical walking back
2:06
and uh Argrath uh you all presented him with uh
2:12
if i recall with gifts and tributes and Argrath has given you all a mission uh which is to
2:20
go to bold time bold home in time uh to participate in the sacred time
2:27
rights now he’ll of course this was basically what you guys got in the um evening festival uh at
2:36
at the the at our grass palace and some of you guys will have to
2:42
come back the next day to get more material you know more information and more
2:48
briefing from from Argrath but also you guys have about a day
2:53
to prepare because um i want to first before we get the rest of your
2:59
briefing uh if you all recall there are 56 days in a gloranthan season
3:08
and you guys you guys returned to duke pavis on the 29th of storm season
3:17
um if you all leave new pavis on the 31st so the day basically
3:25
with one day of preparations you can just make it to bold boldhome in time
3:32
for orlanth’s high holy day which is very important for Nisk and very important for Kulbrast
3:39
it is also a place where Enkalacan get her rune points back she also she will have to do storm bulls
3:46
high holy day on the road because storm bull’s high holy day is
3:51
on the 34th so these are important numbers to write down if
3:58
today is the 29th and you leave new pavis on the 31st the 34th is storm bull’s high holy day
4:07
and the 39th is orlan’s high holy day that would then also give you guys uh
4:14
over two weeks to scope out bold home and get a the ga get some sort of uh
4:22
a feel for what’s going on in sartar now we do have a backup plan for the
4:27
Orlanth holy day and that we could do it in swenston if we had to yes but it’s only a day from boldheart
4:34
okay yeah i’m just saying that if we’re a day short that’s what we would do or we could just leave this the ritual
4:41
you could um obviously doing it in bold home is going to get you the biggest bang yup
4:50
so uh there’s unfortunately in there’s no way for us to
4:57
uh time time this with the only way for you to be able to get the big bang for Storm Bull
5:03
is for you to wait here in new pavis until the 34th oh can i get room points back
5:12
sacred time i’m pretty much fine with that i have like a
5:17
full life statue of myself from the stormhole temple you can try you can once you’re back in
5:23
bold home bald homie is it’s not a big city like like no chit it’s you know it’s a fraction
5:31
of the size of no chit but it’s much bigger than new pavis it may even have a genuine tiger attack
5:39
temple we got them back before yes on high holy
5:45
days on seasonal holy days you in a place you were also in the past right
5:50
perhaps is a high temple for ernest true maybe i have to do a detour well or uh
5:58
bernaldo is very important in sartar and bald home is the capital of sartar
6:07
so there are probably a lot of earth related cults that have temples and shrines
6:13
in uh in sartar much more so than in it much more so than in a frontier place
6:20
like new papas yeah but but but the perhaps is not that far away so i can actually do a two-week trip to
6:29
the parks and back to get to get some room points back
6:34
that would dramatically that would make it impossible for the others to make it to the
6:40
Orlanth high holy day which is the biggest uh celebration of Orlanth in the year
6:46
but i have some good spells we all have good spells
6:54
i need to make sure i get some room points back as well or just buy more statues stick them all
7:09
by a very grim looking statue of um uh Gina and put it in the earth temple
7:16
with her going yeah because didn’t you didn’t you insult the earth temple here
7:21
yes she did be careful you can’t blame us for that you did hey you’re temple’s too
7:29
weenie i don’t want to have to work here it’s too small i believe that is what you told the priest is yeah
7:36
but but no no actually no no i remember when we played actually the first uh one of the
7:41
first episodes when i actually interrogated see the ghosts the spirits about the tombs and so on and
7:49
and new peppas you know they told me where the important tombs are and uh where uh in the wall and so on
7:55
remember that maybe this is where i have to spend a few nights
8:00
and i don’t know sleep on some graves
8:06
well the the bigger issue there is that if you guys i mean it’s your guy’s
8:11
call but if you if the orlanthe um are going to make it to Orlanth’s high
8:20
holy day they basically have to leave the day after tomorrow
8:26
which is the plan but that’s not a problem i mean we go all back to new feathers and i spent actually some time
8:34
uh it’s about where the graves are so when i could
8:43
yeah i’m not going to return to pavis yet but i mean you’ve actually got more options in um in in
8:51
bolt home than you do here you probably do and at sacred time you can definitely get your
8:56
spouse back during the temple time there there’s no there’s no doubt and now you can also do
9:03
a personal ritual on another day maybe do it the same day that when carla’s doing her ritual which is what she’s doing
9:10
you just typically you just cannot you don’t have a chance to get as many spells back or it’s points more difficult
9:18
i will find something you will you will but this is one of the things about um
9:25
runequest is that the need to get your endpoints back
9:31
forces you all to pay very careful attention to the religious calendar um
9:38
so and and does impose it does impose some structure
9:43
uh based on what important festivals are going on
9:48
so rather than break this down into great detail who’s gonna go
9:54
to our grass palace the following day to get the full mission gifts etc can be
10:01
all of you could be some of you and who’s going to be responsible trying to gather everything they think they need
10:11
to travel the day after so basically who’s going to be trying to organize this and who’s going to be
10:18
trying to find out what this is i’m going to head to find out what this is because
10:24
you know he called me and summoned me around that um i can organize
10:31
okay okay ogre is organizing for me
10:37
or girl is gonna ask Gina does he really now that he’s got one leg
10:44
no no no no no no no the leg is still there he is he is um the leg is there but it’s
10:51
maimed now that he’s got to use a crutch yes he looks at you with pleading eyes
10:59
and says are you really going to have me walk all the way across prax again with the
11:05
crew not walk he can ride he was a very good rider
11:24
so you’re you’re going to insist that he traveled the whole time with you yeah
11:31
this is dedication Gina ghostfriend i’m glad i am not your servant
11:41
i i i i tend it is i i mean yeah i mean if you find a good temple a
11:46
good children or roy temple i’m happy to pay for some
11:52
improvements on his leg okay i just doesn’t make it
12:00
but we will not we will not find anything here so he has to come with me and then we
12:05
should look for a good joshua roy priestess you need Gina you need to
12:10
make some sort of communication or intimidation or something because you’ve got a
12:18
you got to know is an employee but he’s very dedicated to me
12:25
um that’s what we’re going to find out [Laughter]12:33
can i sing i i think it needs to be something more substantive than a song can i pay
12:42
yes pay all i pretty much will pay helps a lot um dance will not help
12:50
i have bargain i have of course my horn of intimidation you could try to terrify him into
12:56
following you nobody could try to pay him more do that i i looked for something better
13:03
but just imagine what your head will look like next time
13:09
meanwhile while Gina tries to figure out how to keep her recalcitrant employee who is maimed
13:17
um in line prior to going how many kilometers did i say the truck is
13:22
like 400 wasn’t it 400 kilometers something it’s a long riding riding
13:31
sorry guys i need him because i cannot ride he’s the one who keeps me on the horse
13:36
all the time just being miraculous if you actually
13:41
both stay on the road so the question i have is is it cold browsed who’s responsible for doing all
13:47
the organization are you doing that alone um call is it possible for you to help
13:54
them yeah yeah yeah i i’m i’m a nomad i’m good at traveling and walha tall with you because i mean
14:01
with them it’s only 230 kilometers 230.
14:07
only 230 only 230. yeah i’m sure you’ll be fine i have to
14:13
do some smoking and what picking up another spell during the
14:19
evening but i’ll help you in the evening you’ll smoke okay let’s
14:24
just i have been nice okay i i have an idea
14:30
could i do some insight to see what he needs to convince him
14:35
raw against your insight
14:40
and the rest i’d make in lunar so to pay him
14:45
now you don’t know what the problem is
14:50
why is there any sort of a fuss Gina yes ridiculous yes exactly
14:58
so i have to bully him if he would be a ghost it would be better easier for him
15:03
to convince him okay claudia so i have to intimidate him roll against your intimidate i use my
15:10
foreign
15:18
i can only talk to ghosts i cannot intimidate him but my intimidators even with my horn of
15:24
intimidation i have only 30 percent chance so and i roll at 52. so i’m
15:30
can i pay the difference in coins he wants
15:40
he’s willing to do it for 20 lunars
15:52
he wants a bonus of 20 lunars for coming along and your promise that you will try to have his leg regrown
15:59
of course not a problem
16:05
we’ll do and that not i have six or two lunar so i mean i’m sorry do you know how long it
16:12
takes to train somebody else properly and where shall i get actually somebody
16:17
here in didn’t you pick him off the street in the first place
16:22
yeah but it took me forever to train on him well it didn’t take that long all right
16:28
i could help save you that would solve the entire problem let’s let’s switch scenes here because we’ve
16:43
the next day you all head to our grass palace and our groth will present you with the gifts that he
16:50
wants to give you uh wants you to give him or sorry to give to
16:56
keller starbrough on his behalf so let’s first start with the gifts because he also has some directions
17:02
that he and he has a bunch he has his uh you know he has his cons are present
17:07
there yes zerkiel narmed ronier uh but also uh jarring bladesonk
17:16
who is um uh one of his sargeray cons and um uh the weird
17:23
sorcerer guy that often hangs out there with him mularic iron eye who’s got one eye
17:30
and then in his socket he has a ball of iron that he’s that is his fake eye
17:36
uh in it the gifts that he’s asked to give asks you to give are 50
17:44
bison 50 sable antelope and 10
17:51
war zebras 110 animals wow he also
18:00
um gives directly to Nisk you are to offer these
18:07
to keller i will give you more instructions on the uh on these in a moment but i will tell you what these
18:12
are one is a copper sickle
18:20
so you all know what a sickle is for harvesting [Music]18:27
one is what looks like an egg made out of iron
18:37
hay says um keep that away from you if you cast spells etcetera
18:45
for it um for it is it is unenchanted iron
18:50
and independently magical another is a iron
18:56
measuring rod which is was given to him by the dwarfs
19:04
by the flint nail cult here so it’s a measuring rod used in in architecture
19:12
and in construction another one that he has two last gifts
19:21
for you to give another one is a large shield round shield
19:27
made out of silver enchanted silver
19:32
and it has on it um the symbol of the pole star
19:39
so which is a six-pointed basically a six-pointed star
19:46
he uh he tells you uh the history of this item is that this
19:54
was the shield of the commander of the lunar silver shields regiment
20:04
yeah and finally he gives you a piece of obsidian
20:11
that looks like a tooth about that big a a reptiles tooth or
20:20
a dragon’s tooth it’s a piece of obsidian but he calls it a
20:26
dragon’s tooth i like that one you are to offer these
20:34
to keller starbrow you are to describe them to the best of your ability to her
20:41
is she she may not accept all of them
20:48
you are not to be offended by any um by her rejection
20:56
of any or even all of the gifts
21:03
you are to present yourself as emissaries of uh uh as my emissaries
21:11
you are to present my title to her and he is very careful about this
21:16
his title is you are to present my title as Argrath dragon lord
21:23
the white bull the prince of paris and heir of sartar
21:34
you are not to acknowledge her or refer to her as prince rex or
21:42
chief no problem or we’re not what or chief
21:50
or chief okay she can be the her her titles that you are to use
21:58
is queen of the keldone which is her tribe and lord of boldhome
22:07
you are not to insult her for any reason
22:14
you are not to attack her for any reason you are not to shed her blood bruise
22:22
her or harm her soul
22:30
you are to test her to the best of your abilities
22:40
and you are to encourage and if possible even strengthen
22:47
whatever it is that is the source of that star on her brow and the source
22:53
of her name and i want you to find out everything
23:02
you can about that
23:10
i was going to say can we find out presumably through Nisk um
23:16
what kind of information he wants to gain from the tests is it just her nature her her
23:23
comportment what kind of you know her temperament etc or is there a a more specific thing
23:31
beyond the kind of knowledge of the brown star on her brow
23:40
you’re asking ness it sounds like or are you asking Argrath i’m asking you can ask Argraths
23:47
i don’t feel that you okay you know then i shall be with with almost uh
23:54
you know basically kneeling looking straight at the floor because everybody knows how i feel about Argrath um
24:00
i will ask
24:06
he says
24:11
if i believe she is going to perform a uh
24:19
but by so uh merchants and other travelers have told
24:25
me that she is going to try to perform the lightbringers quest in sacred time
24:32
in the lightbringer’s quest if she is to do this and is to take the
24:38
is to carry the magic of all of the tribes during sacred time she will have to
24:45
prove to outsiders and insiders
24:50
that she carries orlan’s magic this should not be easy for her and you
24:58
should not make it easy if she can overcome your tests then she is no doubt
25:06
worthy but she must be strenuously tested
25:11
for if she is not tested strenuously by us her enemies will test her
25:19
even more greatly
25:25
out of characters does that make sense to you richard i get that yeah
25:35
he fear he he will be he will be frank with you all he fears that
25:42
um that star brow does not is not aware
25:50
and has no knowledge of what forces she what forces and powers she
25:56
will be uh awakening with this
26:02
and if she um cannot survive your tests
26:11
or pass whatever tests that you can devise on my behalf there is no way that she can she can
26:19
pass greater tests
26:24
and you think she’s going to wish to submit to the test that we give her
26:30
you think she is willing to submit to the test that we give her or should we create them
26:38
she he says the desire to be um acknowledged
26:46
as the chief of the uh uh of the chief of the orlanti
26:52
is a powerful incentive gotcha and there is no you are my emissaries
27:00
be careful what you say be careful what you do
27:06
do not promise anything on my behalf unless
27:13
absolutely necessary
27:19
is it a possibility to do tests that aren’t obviously announced as tests
27:27
of course i think so a lot of the tests are that how she presents herself Argrath says
27:35
that if she is doing the lightbringer’s quest
27:42
there is a section in there where she is tested
27:53
there are several opportunities for her to be testing which means as my emissaries
28:01
you must find a way to be allowed to participate in that ceremony
28:08
so not testing it outside of the ceremony it’s not the idea we continue to be testing her in the
28:15
ceremony itself okay
28:22
the fires from knee lot etcetera yes
28:28
the baths of nilot there are a variety of points is then this is something that all of you all
28:34
who are orlante and all of you guys are within the broad sense of things even in kala and Gina are broadly
28:40
orlanthe you all know that the orlanth cult in and the sacred time ceremonies are
28:46
filled with bits where people have what are called ident uh what what in the game rules are
28:55
called identification con contests where basically you say
29:00
that you will you know you you are such and such a god or wheel representative
29:06
and such and such god and wield such and such powers and the other the other entity
29:12
tries to identify what itself is you basically are trying to figure out where you will fit in your me your myths and your magic
29:20
and do it right and uh you know if you’re able to say that pull
29:27
it off that you and your companions are Orlanth and the lightbringers then for the purposes of that ceremony
29:33
you are Orlanth the lightbringers but if you can’t if there are flaws in this if there are
29:39
things that you have or associated with or have done or said that Orlanth couldn’t have
29:47
done or wouldn’t have done then you’re going to probably fail to some extent in identifying
29:54
yourself with those powers and vice versa so basically what the
29:59
direction you’re getting from our breath is is he wants you to jump into um a magical ritual and insert yourself
30:06
in and he believes that and
30:12
and he believes that of his his um uh thanes uh
30:18
Nisk you and your companions are most likely to be able to do this or are
30:26
among uh the most likely who are able to do this and go to be able to go as his
30:31
emissaries to bolt home without there being a problem
30:36
gotcha i mean i guess he could he could send yazurki or blue llama or
30:42
someone like that but that yeah well they’re not going to claim you know they’re not they’re sorry blood
30:48
and things like that so you have to reduce it from that that grasp that part first and then go so
30:54
that’s what he has it’s a lot of stuff that’s a hundred and ten cattle
31:04
which means that we’re gonna have to recruit a few more herders to come with us
31:10
my task of organizing this small voyage is suddenly becoming more difficult i mean keep in mind
31:18
how much 110 um uh cattle is worth if anybody has the runequest
31:24
rules handy it is a very generous gift
31:30
i think it’s the strings that um and i won’t tell this to Argrath obviously but this the the except she’s going to basically
31:37
have to extend accept him as heir to suffer which is the last thing which is going to cause the most
31:44
trouble and a lot of the other ones will be difficult for her to deny
31:50
but that one she will um my expect expectation is she will
31:57
so anyway so that is the mission that you all are sent on so
32:04
um does anybody have any further questions or should we move the camera to Kulbrast and and figure out
32:11
how well the oh yes go on yeah i i mean i guess i don’t i i don’t think not i think we’ll
32:16
probably have more subtle questions so we’ll ask if you kind of jump back to that but i think in terms of this i don’t think
32:22
there’s a question of us doing it i think we want to get a little more understanding on some of the tests a little piece on some of the
32:28
um what we do i don’t have a question about how we define Argrath i don’t have a question about what we’re supposed to do but how to do
32:35
it will be really hard but there’s probably a bit more subtlety that i’m going to have to think about
32:41
and kala anybody else no actual questions uh
32:49
other than us trying to organize this stuff now so let’s let’s switch over to Kulbrast
32:57
i gary and i assume you’re just a yes sir kind of guy uh well i’ve said one thing in our grass
33:03
presence i’m still well i got the chance to do that i’m yeah i’m quiet for now just nodding
33:11
and standing behind Nisk trying to look uh imposing so
33:19
110 cattle that’s a that’s a lot of animals now if
33:25
i recall it takes about uh one herder can move about 20 cattle
33:34
about that so you’re gonna need you’re gonna need uh five or six
33:41
herders to handle this so um yeah i mean in carla you’re the
33:48
land person the bus two i have no idea
33:54
so where do we go to get these people i could go to my clan or my tribe clan
34:01
and actually ask them if there are people will available for a job people are sitting
34:07
around do they hurt bison all praxians heard all praxian beasts
34:14
yeah but but ideally we would get you know like three herders for the bison three for the llamas and one
34:23
there’s a big market too right we have where they trade animals and things like that you can certainly go there to try
34:28
and recruit people however in one day i want to just raise
34:33
this from um this you would certainly know and call uh it’s going to get difficult to get
34:39
non-kin folk to be willing to do this on short notice
34:44
yeah so i’m going to my people to do this could just go as the
34:52
mysteries of our wrath and say look people you are called upon by your king to hurt
34:59
his cattle to say yes or no
35:04
it’s not really how his authority works okay um if he directly asked
35:12
they would no doubt say yes but you’re he’s got you know
35:19
Niskira is a petty con as far as the practicings are concerned he’s a petty con from a different tribe
35:26
they all follow the White Bull but that’s it’s his problem i mean it’s his problem
35:32
whether he succeeds or not this is kind of the when you agree and call it this is kind of the praxian
35:37
uh mindset yeah that’s why they’re kind of difficult with loyalty too because ah this is boring
35:43
we’ll leave yeah i’ll never get my head around him on the ship the captain says do
35:48
it or we’ll push you out at the end walk the plank but i mean think of it as
35:54
a captain of another of another ship right and just because of the head of it asks your captain to do something
36:02
you know if eric keep in mind keep in mind yeah actually i think phillips example would still
36:08
work um if herrick asked you to do something and you told him everyone
36:14
everyone would do it obviously because god knows if he if you didn’t
36:20
cooperate with him uh with her eric’s funky what if yeah he used to be very convincing back in
36:28
the day so anyway we’ll do it in carla’s way in that case
36:35
yeah i’ll go to my people yeah i’ll travel try our luck there
36:42
by the way just looking at this in general are they persuaded by it by drink at all oh we we do enjoy our
36:50
drinks because we still have you know bats of wine and
36:56
i can’t be shrine breast i want to give you an idea though
37:02
about what um this is worth just just to make you squeamish this is
37:10
probably 6 000 lunars worth of animals
37:18
that’s a lot yes i mean 60 wheels that’s uh
37:25
not 16 wheels 100 wheels 100 wheels isn’t one wheel 20 lunars oh 20. sorry
37:32
yeah 300 duals 300 wheels
37:38
whoa that would be difficult to pay back um yes so
37:46
so besides some herders we might need some backup
37:51
um you know some more men folk yeah i mean ours are it’s likely
37:59
we’re gonna leave some of them here but it might make sense more sense to take them um i do wonder about nostalrius because
38:06
she was exiled from starter [Music]38:12
so she probably can’t go back but we could bring her brother back with us if he’s coming willing to come
38:19
i’m going to throw out just a thought there on this desk however you want um however you want to
38:26
play this i mean one way is if she’s exiled from from from sartori or her tribe or
38:33
whatever it is you know the safest thing is not to bring her on the other hand she’s under the
38:40
protection of an emissary who will uh is emissaries are traditionally also
38:47
under certain forms of protection uh it depends basically on how much you want
38:52
to be raise a middle finger or not well if you think about it it is it is a test in its own right isn’t it
39:01
so yeah it’s your call completely on this i just want to say it’s it’s one of these ones where as a player
39:07
you can make your deci your decision whether to bring her or not um it’s just there’s consequences to
39:13
bringing her that it’s a test
39:24
okay so and carla we go and get some herders then yes
39:31
Gina are you going to be looking out for anything or are you still trying to just deal with getting or garl to make sure
39:37
that he brings that’s a lot of cattle it’s going to stink
39:42
i do not care about stink i mean that corp stinks as well that’s the reason why i’m actually getting more embalming
39:48
oil i i need that um you always have to have the emergency oil but i will try to find
39:55
somebody to help over with his leg while he’s packing
40:01
okay so let me go first back to incalla on your loyalty to your clan
40:10
yes now you may need to you may try need to augment this you may
40:16
need to have colbreast try to augment you on this
40:22
yeah this will be your uh uh your augment of the session
40:27
the augment of the session okay kf10 okay it depends on how important
40:34
getting additional herders are so that you don’t rely on your incompetent bandits it is important
40:41
i know it’s very important taking great pride in this you know it’s how we live so so how can i help
40:50
i don’t know these people at least i do a successful loyalty high llama
40:55
roll of 42 uh honestly she just blew right through it yeah she didn’t bother with any uh
41:01
augment she just went straight to her can and uh
41:08
let’s see something how much you offering them
41:13
oh oh i should offer them something of course
41:18
uh what would be a good price to pay
41:24
uh at least there’s the food and the drink and protection of us from us well
41:31
not from us it’s about a season by the way and i think that i might have
41:38
that page open just to give you know because we’re not our characters are probably know more about it than we do is
41:47
is 10 lunars per herder a decent price for a season yeah
41:55
i’m asking linda doesn’t know no that’s why neil’s looking it up right
42:01
now yeah i’m trying to find that expedition gear riding gear if i recall
42:07
the the standard of living for a a a free person is somewhere around 60
42:15
liners a year somewhere around that around 10 a season
42:21
right that’s standard of living but this is going all the way across prax and serving so they’re going to want more
42:27
than existence so maybe 15
42:33
and how good your negotiation is might be good to have somebody who knows how to bargain
42:38
well i know a bit about bargaining not much but no not gina
42:45
i have fifteen percent i think uh congress is a much better perhaps our top bargainer i think that’s
42:50
something that you know that’ll never bring the package he’s like wait wait he’s at 25 so you
42:56
know harmony rune can help with bargaining so can the glamour spirit magic spell if
43:04
you have either of those he has glamour i have a glamorous film
43:09
do you have the harmony rune is one of your runes nope nope okay
43:17
not a very harmonious guy i’m afraid i’m not on the middle between harmony
43:23
disorder probably more deering towards disorder
43:30
well uh if i recall the glamour spell adds do you remember how much it is
43:42
do you remember what that is gonna add you it’s gonna i think it’s gonna add it’s not gonna add ten percent to communications yeah so it’s gonna add 10
43:49
to your bargain per point right no glamour is a single is a two-point spell
43:55
fixed yeah um ten percent that’s like two point five points no no no ten
44:01
percent not of your skills so you go you go from you go to 35 but if you can
44:07
if you can augment it with some relationship you can you have a relationship or a passion or
44:12
something that that that is why this is really important to call breast
44:17
i mean you’ve got the best chance already of anybody in the group
44:23
oh you can always say Gina and i have 32 actually on bargain
44:29
that’s slightly better can we bargain together
44:43
spell Gina actually has a 40 bargain i’m sorry 32 42 42
44:52
and if you’ve got any sort of augment anyone loyalty to Argrath um because this is
44:59
an important task that’s a 59
45:05
for some reason it used to be 60. i can’t remember why it’s 59 because you got pissy with
45:13
about our grass plants i think i think i even questioned his strategic
45:20
abilities at one point yes you did that’s right that’s right that’s still not entirely forgiving
45:28
but i mean let’s be honest i was right anyway [Laughter]45:37
uh no the i’m my highest loyalty is to skullport so yeah which is
45:43
inappropriate Gina do you have anything better than 59 that could possibly augment this let me
45:51
see i mean i have my my intimidation skill which is not very good
45:57
i can tell him when he will die um that’s not really gonna work
46:04
[Music] you’ll actually live longer when you come here i can dance too same thing i i let sing and dance
46:14
be used as augments for a lot of things it does not really help with your bargaining customs Esrolia no
46:21
in my land which is not filled with stinking barbarians like you this is how
46:38
your loyalty to Argrath right now is the best augment okay well can so
46:46
can cali use her augment obviously Garan and i cannot because we’re not there and she’s not augmented she did not augment her
46:52
loyalty so she could augment with a relationship whiteboard which i think is actually much higher than that is that true
47:01
it’s a massive sixty percent well you’re at the same time it’s one point
47:07
one point yeah one point more so give me where’s the passion in this group Garan where is their passion
47:13
i i i’m mine’s up at 78 for what so that’s all i’m saying yeah
47:20
no why no sorry white bull is actually 65. that’s a little better well if i augment
47:28
myself and succeed i get a 35. isn’t it no no you would roll your augment and if
47:34
you succeed you give 20 more to gina’s bargain by basically saying hey you’re doing it for
47:40
the White Bull oh but you can’t augment your augment because that ends up with infinite uh
47:47
recision and we start having that problem with mirrors being in cameras we all go crazy
47:52
and and can two people augment Gina okay one yeah but i’ll do that i’ll
47:59
argue i’ll try let’s not fumble this
48:08
[Music]48:15
i believe it’s 10 points for failing it is it correct neil
48:30
so i have again 32 yeah yes so what am i bargaining for what what am i screwing
48:37
we’re not we’re not saying we can’t get them it’s the price of the herders okay shall i roll
48:45
okay let’s roll it
48:53
all right well regardless whether it’s 10 point loss or a 20 point loss you make it so i don’t
49:00
have to look by the way that is the best kind of role is it’s like in elections it’s always
49:07
better to succeed by a large amount so i don’t have to bother looking up anything uh no chances yeah yeah
49:15
that is uh that is the second time that i try to augment her yes the second time i fail
49:23
remember the last fail drumming yes yes yes your head right yes
49:36
a reasonable 15 lunars per herder how many herders are you
49:43
recruiting from the blue llama clan six okay so that’s six
49:50
six loaners i want you to six herders i want you to write down Nisk that
49:56
you’re on the hook for 90 lunars whether they live or die
50:01
okay because it’s a deal made with a clan okay um that is one thing and i actually
50:09
have a just a general question with our grass given a whole pile of stuff um for me to give to callier he’s is this
50:17
my expectation that i i basically live off the gifts that callier is going to give me personally
50:24
um you should be able to get gifts you should be able to extract gifts
50:30
uh you should be able to take gifts you are his emissary and keep in mind
50:36
the mindset of of emissaries in the pre-modern world they do not
50:41
buy uh this ridiculous modern idea that emissaries should not be given
50:48
money uh or gifts how absurd uh it for anybody who knows their u.s
50:54
history there was a uh a famous controversy called the xyz affair
51:02
where i believe it was tally rand uh who later became napoleon’s uh minister of state was in the united
51:09
states and was offering to try to
51:15
work to improve france and american
51:21
relationships and but tally rand was now you know i i need to get paid for
51:26
this i i’m you know i i don’t work cheap i know i
51:31
work for the french government but you want what i want pay up and that’s how it worked
51:40
i mean emissaries works being an emissary was a good position
51:45
okay um the other thing is if they’re doing that i think that we may
51:51
want to get see if we can get a few more soldiers to come with us to exile rights who want to head back the other thing i want to go back
51:58
onto this Nisk is of our greth has also given you territory to exploit and make money off
52:05
okay so that’s the piece of it your failure to make a lot of money off that territory is not
52:10
his problem okay but then again when i make money off that by my battle and getting the armor i don’t have to give all that to
52:16
Argrath because i’m doing it that’s part of it okay so you give them that’s what i want to be clear yeah
52:22
because you’re smart and always bribe you always always give gifts to you not bribe yeah always give gifts your
52:28
overlord and again that’s that that’s part of the
52:35
whole ancient world mentality to get into is
52:40
you know you all are you have a position of status and importance with Argrath
52:46
that gives you the right to take things from to take things from other people and it should make you important enough
52:53
that other people will want to pay you to stay on their good side well the more cats were most generous when they
53:00
saw us absolutely just like that absolutely all right i would like to recruit a couple see if we can get a couple more
53:06
guys to come with us then cole brass should we go and tell a wind whistler
53:12
that we’re doing this that he won’t miss us um sure but maybe after after we’ve
53:20
recruited some fighters perhaps so adorable
53:26
i like windblister i look i’m worried that the immortal worm
53:32
um who is going to worry about us who don’t matter at all i know yeah who claims to be at least 800 years
53:39
old yeah now it’s it’s like he’s found some toys and then
53:45
for a moment but he might miss his toys and but oh well you know and
53:51
suddenly they’re there against oh that’s real yeah
53:56
do you think we could get him to come with us would be offer awesome i don’t think so plus i think your issue
54:04
is that every day there would be a count there would be like a bison missing
54:09
relatively speaking if you think about the number of bison he would eat on the way we could probably afford that many yes
54:19
we’re telling that the bisons are sentient
54:36
a
54:51
one option is you can try once again the Humakt temple which is i believe where you recruited your last group of lawyers
54:59
um you could try to recruit from um uh
55:06
[Music] what other strong connections do you have that
55:11
are are kin based and hiring hall you’re loyal to the white bull but that’s not going to help you that much you could
55:17
try to recruit some of the um remaining uh wolf pirates
55:24
as uh guardhound or you could try to recruit with the uh garhant yes i think that’s what i would try and
55:31
do augment with my loyalty to Argrath to get them then done for this that’s
55:38
that that makes this the most sense i really don’t have a lot of um family here otherwise and i
55:45
decided that the the people who hang out in gympies aren’t worth asking because they’re all
55:50
you know they’d be all more pro starter and callier than um Argrath which is obviously wrong
55:58
does that make sense hey um or or are there warriors or guys around Argraths
56:05
area that are looking for work and things like that i mean an opportunity to get there
56:13
you could shake that up maybe with a appropriate social skill that sounds right or an
56:20
appropriate knowledge skill um i mean the reason a lot of them tend to flock anyways to
56:27
the who mocked temple and the reason being is is that that the humac temple’s always
56:35
in Orlanthi culture often you know if you’re looking for work that involves killing
56:42
you become a lay member of of whom i do have another one which i think would make a lot of sense and that’s an
56:49
attempt for the orleans temple here because we’re saying how would you like to go travel to
56:55
boldhome for a great ritual on the high holy day and sacred time that works yeah and there and i think
57:00
that that’s you know four for Argrath i think that makes a lot of sense for me as opposed to try to get a pilgrimage
57:07
going yeah some of the guys armed pilgrimage which by the way is another term for a
57:13
crusade um sure yeah let’s try that pretty peaceful
57:18
one yep all right so go against your loyalty to your temple
57:24
all right i am trying to decide if it’s worth trying to augment usually what argument per session right
57:30
or one person correct correct you get one augment poor per session however i want to
57:37
define what a session is so certainly while we’re here in new pevis this is your
57:43
augment okay that would make it per scene if you think about it more than session
57:49
so here’s what i mean not game sessions okay all right let’s try an augment with um Argrath because
57:54
we’re doing this for Argrath and that role is a 46 which is a success
57:59
so add 20 to your loyalty to your temple all right you have a pretty good opportunity to do this
58:07
and thanks to the augment i succeed with an 83. okay you can get up to six
58:15
Orlanth initiates that’s probably good for what we need
58:21
that way we don’t have to take um no karen what do you think should we take mysterious or not
58:31
do you help me murder camera team personally with the opinion that it will be a test it will be a test
58:37
of khalid’s both her her hospitality and which is a test of honor by the way
58:44
yeah and her ability to control her people in
58:50
case somebody tries to do something that she may not have sanctioned
58:56
but they still feel you know that it’s a sufficiently permissive court to allow
59:01
them to get away with it okay i like it i think that’s a great
59:07
idea um i also think that just just knowing on that i’m going to go tell
59:12
i’m going to ask mysterious that i would like her to come i’m not going to tell her to come knowing that where we’re going and what
59:18
we’re doing so if she felt that uncomfortable if i recall she’s a humor cultist right she’s a humanoid cultist
59:26
she’s one like she’s willing to come all right she’s pledged her sword to you
59:33
okay all right so we have once again we have
59:38
a big party we’ve got six herders six orlanthi how many mer
59:43
we’ve got waha tall we’ve got josh farr we’ve got how many other dudes
59:49
uh we’ve got um rasteros we’ve got um
59:56
cellular and you’ve got to zela so are you bringing your um uh cole breast
1:00:02
your companions coming with you okay well one is dead so no yeah that one i don’t think is coming
1:00:09
with us unless yeah no but i mean shield char is obviously coming along and i thought it would be a
1:00:15
good time uh good idea to take along uh the younger zaloon so he sees oh
1:00:22
right right he’s the elder son right yeah and and we have so many more to you know
1:00:28
carry water and stuff like that all right so that’s five party members
1:00:33
one two three four five six seven about eight direct associates and another twelve
1:00:40
i think i missed tall um so twelve nine and five
1:00:47
twenty four that’s a big grip now it’s probably
1:00:54
about right it’s about who else has hurt who else has hurting skills i have actually had um i have heard miss has hurting skills
1:01:01
by the way i really really like claudia’s reaction when you um accept your expression yeah
1:01:08
for that i i’m hurting ghosts and i
1:01:15
can can i actually find somebody for over to heal him a little bit more
1:01:22
he can be healed but regrow limb that you’re going to require needing to
1:01:28
be somewhere for a while it’s not something you can do on the road
1:01:34
i mean by the way only to let you know i have a basic with my bonus i have actually 15 percent
1:01:41
on hurting 25
1:01:47
so carla how good is your hurting 40. okay uh 35.
1:01:57
i i have a different idea then for because i knew you know algor is important for
1:02:03
me can i get him a saddle which is actually very high where he can be buckled you know one of
1:02:09
these maybe a training settle for kids or so with a belt or i don’t know
1:02:15
cool man oh that’s the right of shame oh he is not he is not apraxia he can
1:02:23
he’s you’re asking can we tie him to the saddle yes no that he’s more comfy or maybe a
1:02:31
side saddle where you only need one saddle i don’t know he could just chill out
1:02:37
for a few weeks why don’t we why don’t we make why don’t we have a panel please hire four people
1:02:44
to carry him across because that would cost us another 60
1:02:50
lunas or something but that’s interesting i mean i could sit there as well and he could break my
1:02:55
hair in the meantime would save us time probably would be
1:03:00
safer even that’s kind of the saddle is going to be somewhere between 1 and 15 lunars um
1:03:10
for 10 loners you can find the saddle it it has some
1:03:17
sort of praxian name how long does genus understand proxy and i believe not at all right
1:03:25
but it says it’s something it’s it’s been set up um
1:03:31
it’s been set up in a way to to be from as far as you can tell for maximum
1:03:37
comfort he practically reclines in it
1:03:47
do you have 10 millers oh we lost your voice
1:03:54
of course for olga i have them okay so you can spend 10 minutes buying
1:04:00
the saddle which is take your pick and call it it can either be translated as
1:04:06
the saddle of shame or the saddle for pregnant women no pregnant women can
1:04:14
ride in practice that’s the saddle of shame it’s a subtle shame okay yeah i think one as well i take one as well i
1:04:21
spent actually 20 lunas yeah okay so the advantage of this is it’s going to give you a bonus on your
1:04:28
regular ride rolls just not in any stressful situation
1:04:37
so if i make you roll to see how well you do this is basically what gave uh if i
1:04:43
recall cole breast or no it’s Garan who got the blisters from hell um for writing they’ll do really good on
1:04:50
that raw but if there’s a problem totally useless so how much do i get on my right i’ll
1:04:58
figure it out when i make you roll okay good um i will i i need a short
1:05:04
break i will reckon okay quick break early on the morning of clay day
1:05:12
i mean keep in mind you guys only have one day to recruit all those people i am so
1:05:17
sorry and call up and i’m sure and call you feel very sad but there isn’t really time
1:05:22
to travel over to griffin gate to spend much time with whistler yeah
1:05:30
you can’t hear me yeah i can hear you um and of course i’m a little bit saddened
1:05:36
but i also know it was rather stupid of me to think he might think of us yes i mean
1:05:42
i guess he’s softening it if you’re willing to go out really and push really hard on this
1:05:50
you could go by yourself but i know Kulbrast has a ton to do
1:05:55
i mean there’s packing there’s you know you thought you were packing for us a small group instead of get up
1:06:03
and then in cala shows up with another six herders and Garan and Nisk show up
1:06:09
with six more pilgrims and 110 animals yep where are these animals by
1:06:16
the way i mean we’ll pick them up we’ll pick them up at basically where he keeps them
1:06:21
at his pens when we’re ready to head out okay so that’s a lot of work it is a lot of
1:06:30
work and i am going to make the assumption unless anybody says otherwise you all leave basically
1:06:37
daybreak on clay day
1:06:42
a little bit hungover from my little smoking and getting detect water spell oh you’ve got the detect water
1:06:48
spell yes awesome about time somebody gets that that’s a useful spell i’m a little bit hungover
1:06:56
but you can ride with a hangover i like you yeah yeah yeah
1:07:06
uh the last thing i want Nisk and kobras either one of you one of
1:07:13
you guys roll percentile dice and this is going to give the weather because you guys are the orlan cultists
1:07:20
i’ll have the thundurus roll it over the adventure you are cold brass okay
1:07:27
uh 77 okay it is overcast
1:07:34
and it is it is over it is overcast
1:07:41
and it is gosh um
1:07:48
it’s it’s drizzling must be the first time
1:07:59
so this is a thing and and and useful not only to you as players but
1:08:05
anybody listening in is most deserts do get some rainfall
1:08:11
they they usually get rainfall at crappy times of the year and it often falls actually
1:08:19
heavier than is useful for the soil so for example cloudy and i
1:08:27
we were driving through the new mexico desert and just got hit by huge
1:08:34
amounts of rain uh and you just drive through and you’d watch we we were driving over
1:08:40
um in an indian reservation we were driving over a culvert over this what’s supposed to be a dry
1:08:47
stream and there’s big signs that say if there’s water running over this stream turned back and we’re driving
1:08:54
over there’s just a little bit of water going over it and i drove to the other side of the
1:09:00
the side of the stream got a little spooked turned around and drove and this time by
1:09:06
the time i got there there was about that much water running over the culvert when we got to where we
1:09:12
we ended up um uh staying we hear on the news that the place that we wanted to go to
1:09:18
was washed out the road had been washed out by a flash flood that happened you know maybe 30 minutes
1:09:26
after we turned around and the people there were going to be stuck for two or three days
1:09:31
so that’s how i mean you get rain in in the desert okay um this is the other question i have
1:09:40
would you roll a d20
1:09:47

  1. okay at least it’s not snow it’s good so it’s it’s probably
    1:09:56
    about it’s actually about 18 degrees centigrade so it’s a good summer here for me
    1:10:06
    where i am that’s summer for me where i am yeah it’s actually it’s it’s it’s it’s pretty warm it’s
    1:10:12
    it’s it’s drizzling so i’m going to not consider this to be bad travel weather but basically the
    1:10:21
    reason i have to do this is is that obviously if you guys get stuck in in crappy weather it’s going to take
    1:10:28
    longer fortunately it does not
    1:10:33
    and you’re able to hurt and in a a herd of this many animals um goes
    1:10:42
    surprisingly fast you know you got praxions hurting this
    1:10:47
    but i the best ones it’s the blue llama ones it’s the blue llama so you got a bunch of blue llamas
    1:10:53
    herding um bison and and sables
    1:11:00
    and then you’ve got this group of ten and i didn’t mention this they are cavalry zebras
    1:11:07
    yeah you mentioned that they were woolsey yeah or zebras they’re trained for combat
    1:11:13
    uh and oh that’s why the gift is so much those things are really valuable they’re
    1:11:19
    really valuable but it’s a really impressive thing now the other thing about this is
    1:11:26
    every praxion on the planes
    1:11:31
    is going to be tempted by a herd this big
    1:11:38
    i want to know how you guys plan to protect this herd now that we’re on the uh where we’re
    1:11:44
    heading out and let me see if i can share my screen a little bit show off that
    1:11:50
    so you guys can see the map and know where all you’re going
    1:12:00
    see if this can work oh my host disabled attendee oh i didn’t disable it i just
    1:12:06
    didn’t enable it that’s fundamentally different you know that’s kind of you’re welcome
    1:12:11
    there you go all right so the first part of your
    1:12:18
    voyage is you can see there’s that from new pavis it just kind of heads
    1:12:23
    west there’s this dotted road this is called the pavis road and
    1:12:31
    it is not like a road in sartar it’s basically it’s basically a military uh uh
    1:12:38
    military caravan path that does not have caravan sarai it does not have shrines etc but
    1:12:45
    it is it’s um uh it is a marked route that you can’t get lost
    1:12:51
    on and you will be traveling down that
    1:12:57
    until you get all the way can you say did i switch maps just let
    1:13:02
    me know or am i showing the original one you’re showing the original one right now
    1:13:08
    okay let me see how i i’m i’m gonna stop that
    1:13:20
    yeah sleeping city hills and things like that we see your thing along this path all the way to the
    1:13:26
    obscure plinth and then once you’re on the obscure plant you’re gonna head down to moon
    1:13:32
    broth and then you guys know the route from from moon broth on
    1:13:37
    the reason i’m showing the map there is that you can see you’re traveling over a lot of the
    1:13:44
    planes of prax and and kala you can tell me you you’re you’re praxion
    1:13:49
    Nisk is Nisk lived amongst apraxians how tempting is gonna be a herd
    1:13:55
    of a hundred beasts and ten war zebras it’s
    1:14:02
    i would assume that it’s pretty much 100 chance that someone will try along the
    1:14:08
    way um no because they have no hurdles
    1:14:26
    it’s the same fun amenity i love your logic Nisk this really
    1:14:31
    explains everything and you know somehow okay so so in Esrolia
    1:14:37
    everybody is a hairdresser and it’s got to be in everybody knows how to herd cattle
    1:14:43
    yeah i know a little bit from gina’s perspective as roley as still has their
    1:14:49
    priorities right yes because it’s not they’re not only hairdressers but they can also make
    1:14:54
    proper makeup we have hurting and writing so there is
    1:15:01
    that um yeah we’re pretty much guaranteed to get hit unless we manage to find a way to
    1:15:06
    be really intimidating i have this horn of intimidation but i’m not very intimidating no
    1:15:14
    is that saddle you’re certainly not oh i’m gonna give a minus 50 to any
    1:15:20
    attempts to intimidate while sitting on the saddle of shame
    1:15:25
    on the other hand your butt feels a lot better than the last time yeah for me it’s not a set of shame it’s
    1:15:33
    a set of glory whatever floats your boat darling
    1:15:40
    all right so i this is very important because it’s going to affect what sort of encounters you’re likely to
    1:15:47
    have okay the size of it oh heck yeah i mean it’s like if we look at herself
    1:15:53
    if you look at the sable riders that we had um before remember we met those i mean they’re this size is way too big for
    1:15:59
    them to consider they may try and sneak around um i mean we’re basically
    1:16:05
    traveling on behalf of Argrath he is prince of paris he is um you know ally of jalden
    1:16:12
    golden tooth and he has every right to be here we have every right to be here because of that
    1:16:18
    do we have a flag well that’s just a good question
    1:16:24
    do praxions rate each other yes it’s sports it’s necessary yeah
    1:16:32
    so it will happen and even if Argrath is the king here there’s like well we’re gonna raid you anyway
    1:16:38
    yeah it makes total sense it’s kind of could be a i mean what we’ll be able to do is get the
    1:16:43
    smaller ones out and the bigger you know the bigger groups are probably the one of the concern yeah they might even feel molten to say
    1:16:50
    you know i rated king araf however the flag thing is a bit interesting
    1:16:57
    the flag thing is actually a bit interesting we could have the flag of the white bull because the white bull is
    1:17:03
    pretty much the only thing that’s been um uniting the different tribes of practice i like it
    1:17:11
    try i’m willing to let us go back in time slightly and i want to know because this
    1:17:18
    is i love the idea of there being a banner do you have you made a banner of the white
    1:17:25
    ball yeah i think so that makes tons of sense
    1:17:31
    a richly embroidered one that is in itself a target for feet
    1:17:37
    [Laughter]1:17:43
    i have i would like to sorry about that i’m gonna drink i’m
    1:17:50
    just gonna drink my beer
    1:17:58
    all right so i know one character who possesses an embroidery skill
    1:18:05
    it’s not written down in her character sheet but in his roleio they also know how to
    1:18:10
    embroider as well as hairdress
    1:18:15
    so have you made a banner Gina in the weeks yeah only weeks
    1:18:23
    sitting around board
    1:18:38
    yes i think one of the reasons organ survives is everyone else
    1:18:44
    we have a lot of sympathy for him you know because he could just be a laughingstock and we could just you know insult a but i don’t think we do i think
    1:18:50
    we feel sorry for him so we treat him well there we go
    1:18:56
    he’s like one of these that one of the flunkies of cruella de vil right you know you just feel sorry for
    1:19:03
    them i mean it’s it’s it’s embroidery cut is rolling customs no
    1:19:09
    i’m not it’s okay so so that’s what he i mean yeah he he did
    1:19:15
    that i mean he’s he’s very good with my class and everything so just to let you know so orgaro has
    1:19:22
    made this beautiful banner of a bull it’s a bison as well as he can figure
    1:19:28
    out what one remember as well as he can draw what a bison looks like
    1:19:34
    we’ve got tons of bison for him to look i know but he’s embroidering it you know it’s like
    1:19:39
    oh so it it it kind of looks like i don’t know is it a cow
    1:19:45
    is it a bison whatever it’s white it has big horns
    1:19:50
    and nicely braided tape and then yeah it’s not nice very big it’s it’s white
    1:19:57
    it’s always so you basically have a banner of uh of a White Bull
    1:20:04
    and the last question i have is what is the background color because i’m going to get an artist to do
    1:20:09
    this purple same color as dragon spirit i would have said
    1:20:15
    black oh but it’s dragon spirit was purple purple makes sense
    1:20:20
    okay you always want black yes only only people who smoked with Ar
    1:20:27
    grath no white purpose [Laughter]1:20:37
    the last question i have on that is who carries the banner now carrying the banner is a high status
    1:20:43
    thing because it’s super bad luck to lose the banner
    1:20:49
    super bad luck i think it’s Garan i
    1:20:56
    am happy to take on that responsibility okay so i want you guys to now
    1:21:03
    imagine this you’ve got 50 bison you’ve got 50 sables
    1:21:11
    you’ve got a half dozen um high llamas on uh high llama riders on their their
    1:21:18
    high llamas uh hurting all these animals you’ve got a train of ten
    1:21:27
    zebras which don’t need to be herded they’re a tr i mean these are trained animals you
    1:21:32
    just you know tie them up to each other or however it is that you would what you would you
    1:21:38
    would take um uh military horses you’ve got all of your treasures you’ve
    1:21:45
    got loads of camp uh you’ve got your tent your yurts or whatever sort of thing oh you’ve got
    1:21:51
    that awesome super tent remember yeah from the Morokanth
    1:22:08
    oh
    1:22:22
    uh stately pleasure dome referring to kubla khan’s um uh or the song song by frankie
    1:22:31
    goes to hollywood right or the song by frankie or or by abba i believe as well
    1:22:38
    xanadu no santa do with that i hate to say it no xanadu was not done by
    1:22:44
    then it was olivia newton john singing it ah same thing on the soundtrack to the yellow same thing same thing
    1:22:50
    oh but the point is is that it’s a nice thing
    1:22:57
    it’s a very nice tent because the more i can’t love you guys
    1:23:03
    so i want to have you’ve got your banner how many people
    1:23:10
    walk and how many people ride are there any walkers
    1:23:18
    it depends i guess really it depends on the pilgrims other than that we should we have enough mounts for
    1:23:24
    um for the rest i think
    1:23:30
    pilgrims are writing they
    1:23:36
    okay so
    1:23:42
    going forward i want the only real question i have is is
    1:23:48
    that who all are your your your people watching with scan
    1:23:56
    who’s your scouts who’s your lookers it’s more of a generally who’s not
    1:24:03
    obviously waha tall is probably the person who’s leading in from the front perspective
    1:24:08
    he’s you know he is our trained and excellent guide joe farr is actually also pretty
    1:24:16
    good so well okay but i was considering um casting the spirit no casting second
    1:24:25
    sight and having it uh permanent for until we need detect water
    1:24:34
    okay so are you doing that or not yeah i think that’s a good use of the
    1:24:39
    permanency and cola i’d like you to make a scan check
    1:24:46
    my scan is so bad though it’s never getting better
    1:24:54
    that’s a zero two so it’s not a critical though because it’s
    1:24:59
    bad enough but it’s special how good is your scan is it better than 21
    1:25:05
    is it isn’t critical at a 5 it’s a 38. oh it’s rounds up in the new rules does
    1:25:10
    it round up for criticals or down yeah okay then it’s critical yeah thank you everything in general the
    1:25:18
    rules round up in the player’s favor yeah because rounding down sucks we always round it down so when i read the
    1:25:25
    request rules i was like yes it’s rounding up but i forgot all right so one thing in kala and kali you see
    1:25:31
    that there is even though it’s store it’s it’s storm season and this is the
    1:25:38
    least dusty season of this of the year you notice that there are a number of
    1:25:46
    whirlwinds uh maybe a dozen or so of them
    1:25:53
    spouting around and when you check it with your second site
    1:26:00
    you can tell that they are are that they have each of these wins have
    1:26:07
    yeah they have power associated with them within plus or minus five of your own so
    1:26:14
    they’re they’re pretty powerful things could you do you know what they are or do am i gonna make
    1:26:19
    you uh require that you roll apraxian um customer survival role i think we’re
    1:26:25
    gonna have to roll one of those because i don’t actually know what they are um but they’re spirit they you know that
    1:26:31
    they are spirits yeah uh spirit lore or high or high llama uh any of them
    1:26:39
    pick a lure that whichever is the highest high llamas highest
    1:26:44
    nope that’s a fail that’s a decent jail i’m gonna let uh Garan roll for
    1:26:53
    you i’d describe them i’m gonna let Garan roll for waha tall to see whether
    1:26:58
    he he is able to mock your lack of knowledge
    1:27:03
    and karen waha tall has a 60 chance on this to know what’s going on excellent
    1:27:14
    if i recall waha tall follow isn’t he isn’t he your follower or is he call breasts
    1:27:24
    i’ll get a 16 16. these are whirl bishops
    1:27:33
    a world fish is um they are a type of angry
    1:27:39
    ghost or angry spirit of the plains they are malevolent um
    1:27:48
    and he says they should be avoided
    1:27:54
    these are these are not mere whirlwinds these are angry spirits
    1:28:03
    yeah okay we don’t go near them then if we can
    1:28:09
    avoid can avoid it you can all avoid it you can move your
    1:28:16
    whole mass of uh of of animals around and uh avoid the whole
    1:28:24
    the the whole group all i would like and and be able to basically after a long day of writing and the
    1:28:32
    question i have is for you guys i’ve calculated everything based on the idea that you do about
    1:28:37
    eight hours of writing in a day is that how about how long are you going to go longer than that
    1:28:43
    so happy about my new saddle
    1:28:48
    um this is a lot of writing so going you know we probably want to go a little bit
    1:28:54
    further just to have a little bit of time left near the end but not a lot more so if you’re thinking about and the
    1:28:59
    first day actually probably wouldn’t go longer anyway because we’re all getting used to traveling together so i wouldn’t even try yes okay so i want everybody to make a quick
    1:29:06
    ride roll god yeah claudia you can add 20 to your
    1:29:13
    red draw only zero one i probably did actually i’ll let you add 30.
    1:29:19
    thank you for that face yes i succeeded
    1:29:27
    Nisk you got a zero one i did but i have a pretty good ride already so it would have been pretty easy to do
    1:29:34
    karen i failed you hate writing man
    1:29:40
    get good at it so i can become one of them you need to train get someone to train
    1:29:46
    you in writing call breast did you fail to nope i’m fine it’s fine how is the
    1:29:52
    pirate better than me [Laughter]1:29:59
    as well yourself a warrior without it yeah but look at the saddle Garan you at
    1:30:05
    least you’re riding a proper saddle if not a proper animal at least the proper saddle oh thanks
    1:30:10
    encarlo yeah yeah it’s it’s probably my geek island uh blood that makes me ride a bit i’m sure
    1:30:18
    they write ponies or something like that you guys set up camp you guys um
    1:30:24
    Garan you are you are you are tired but and feeling like crap but aren’t going
    1:30:30
    to admit it to anybody because that’s who you are yep um you
    1:30:35
    guys set up frankie’s pleasure dome and
    1:30:41
    you know that’s how i’m gonna imagine it from now on welcome to the pleasure dome um
    1:30:49
    and what’s worse is it’s a gift from Morokanth it’s Morokanth it used to be just the
    1:30:57
    magnificent tent so let’s just leave it at that
    1:31:03
    so you set up your your stately your stately tent and whatnot and uh
    1:31:10
    prepare the next day to travel on with your big herd
    1:31:17
    what i would like on the next day so is that okay if i’m just moving it forward like yes
    1:31:22
    you definitely want to go that um i want
    1:31:29
    everyone to make a scan check everyone everyone to make a scan
    1:31:36
    check nope nope
    1:31:44
    yes uh yep yep anybody get a special
    1:31:52
    no i still have the second sight on me but i’m not thinking it’s giving me any
    1:31:58
    bonuses no i mean um farsi
    1:32:03
    yes you are farsi yeah it doesn’t give you bonuses but it makes it easier to see
    1:32:09
    all right Nisk cole brast and garen
    1:32:16
    you while you’re traveling um through the planes here there’s a uh
    1:32:22
    an area of rocky area with you know large boulder-sized rocks and
    1:32:29
    and uneven ground that that that’s up ahead that really
    1:32:37
    it’s a sort of place i’m now that you guys have noticed it with the scan roll i’d like you guys to each make
    1:32:44
    either a battle or a sense ambush that’s not to say you are there is one it’s just getting into it
    1:32:50
    it looks like a good place for it
    1:32:56
    um does the question detect traps is that traps build traps that is built things
    1:33:06
    oh a one a zero one zero one from i think about 95 or something
    1:33:15
    um yeah 95. gary yes or no yeah i passed 54 over 70
    1:33:22
    in battle okay uh Garan this is the sort of place that there if
    1:33:29
    there was you know this is the sort of place that if there was gonna be an ambush
    1:33:35
    this is where it would be cold breast you got a critical on this
    1:33:41
    this is enough that you’re pretty sure given that in cola has told you that
    1:33:47
    there will be an ambush at some point here you are pretty much well dead dog
    1:33:53
    certain that going through and around that area through these this
    1:34:00
    area of of of big rocks on either side is a guaranteed ambush
    1:34:08
    there will be something there you’re sure of it with the zero one in battle
    1:34:14
    do i also take some kind of way to if if i were planning an ambush there
    1:34:22
    where i would do it or or some sort of higher ground we could go to to ambush
    1:34:27
    the ambushes with a zero one i would let you know you could
    1:34:32
    you could send a select group to try to to scout out the place that would be the
    1:34:38
    most likely place for an ambush you couldn’t send your whole group
    1:34:44
    because so now i’ll let you guys decide what you want to do
    1:34:54
    oh we need to go and flush out anybody who’s there i would say ambrose the ambushes it’s
    1:35:01
    always the best plan if you can do it i think Garan you may want to stay in guard because i don’t think you want to
    1:35:07
    ambush the ambushers i’m not ambushing this is me out of character saying that’s why i think i
    1:35:13
    i i think that as the holder of the flag i need your goal is to rally and protect
    1:35:19
    and get the guys beside us and i think a smaller group goes around with cole brast our obvious
    1:35:25
    battle master helping us track down those areas and it needs to be people who do ride who are the stronger riders if that
    1:35:33
    makes sense oh who have really nice saddles that
    1:35:39
    help them ride well yeah as jeff said as the rgm said that this
    1:35:46
    um not when we have to write fast we’re not riding fast we’re just we’re
    1:35:53
    just riding in slightly different directions no i think we’re right we’re riding fast we
    1:35:58
    have to skirt around through the rocks that’ll probably be the challenge and i do not want to play the bait
    1:36:07
    yeah are you going to be with the main group we’re not gonna have you lead in front or anything that would be silly we don’t wanna do that for anybody
    1:36:15
    all right so who’s gonna be trying to scout this out
    1:36:24
    the problem is i’m not the best riders either and it’s 43. it’s if things get to a
    1:36:31

    1:36:44
    hiding cover and he seems a bit more sneaky than i am
    1:36:50
    move quietly at 40. well we’re going to ride it we’re not sneaking it’s not that much sneaking it’s more of a move around if we see
    1:36:56
    people we shoot arrows and and um scare them away
    1:37:02
    will be pretty good yep just what i was thinking at the word arrow i thought wait a minute we have someone who’s
    1:37:09
    pretty good with arrows the best one he is the best does
    1:37:14
