White Bull Season 1 Episode 22 – transcript

0:08
okay welcome back to another episode of the white bull campaign at the chaosium
0:16
house runequest campaign i am jeff richard i’ll be your gm tonight and with me are
0:22
neil robinson linda borgen rich august philip glass and of course claudia lauroff say hi to
0:30
everybody hi there okay i i think we want to just
0:36
dive right in uh it’s a bit sweltering here everybody so
0:42
if if we all look tired or perspiring it’s because we’re in europe and many of us don’t
0:48
have air conditioning uh so um and and weirdly enough it’s actually cooler in
0:55
prax where your characters are at this point so let’s remind you guys the uh
1:00
the scene here um it is probably um not probably it’s
1:07
late in the morning storm season uh it is
1:14
fire day which is the for those of you who carefully follow what phase the red moon
1:21
is in this is the uh the full half moon uh and there are
1:29
you guys have just bought a a pitch battle with about a dozen or so
1:36
broo you have there are broo bodies that
1:41
uh if i recall you guys uh stacked up like firewood uh to burn
1:48
does that sound about right um sure we’ve gotta work out what we do with them and how that works yes you’ve got
1:54
there’s a stack of broo bodies you’ve got a at least one sick
2:00
sable antelope and you have a sick injured child a dead trainer um
2:08
and the other wounded and i believe you had quite a few wounded but you’ve managed to heal them
2:13
up with uh heal spells and first aid etc if i coral recall correctly the last
2:19
thing is it’s it’s about uh three or four degrees centigrade it’s quite cold
2:26
um and and lightly drizzly with wind wet winds coming down from the
2:33
north but uh linda all right Enkala and the Orlanth initiates can feel that
2:40
there is a wind brooing to the east so that is the situation there
2:48
tomorrow is storm bull’s high holy day uh but unfortunately
2:55
kala doesn’t have even the single rune point to cast for sanctify so you
3:02
need to make it to a place where there might be a worship ceremony going on uh and based on
3:10
uh your knowledge in previous discussions you’re hoping that the obscure plinth
3:16
near tata’s high tumulus might be a good place to uh see
3:24
if there is there might be some sort of worship going on there because it is a
3:30
praxion holy site yeah and it’s about 20 kilometers away
3:36
it’s about 20 kilometers away so um it is remember it’s storm season
3:43
which is the equivalent of about it’s about the equivalent of march uh march or april in
3:51
uh our world which means the days it’s before the equinox so
3:58
days are shorter than nights which means 20 20 kilometers you can
4:04
certainly do that in a half day but you can’t tarry too long here
4:09
if you’re gonna make sure you do that make sense um so how much do what i’m going to ask ask
4:16
Enkala what we need to take in terms of taking taking the uh bodies of the brooer or whatever for the
4:23
ceremony we’re going to bur what we’re going to burn here versus what you want to do there um i’m thinking the the iron spirit
4:33
that we found is probably a very good sacrifice um as for the brutham’s
4:49
yeah i think the actions will speak for themselves there because no one wants to touch the broo they’re
4:55
better off burnt so i i think we burn them when we bring
5:01
whatever they had well whatever they have is going to be
5:06
broo infested too right yeah uh there was probably some disease on the spear but i
5:13
am prepared to fight off the spirits okay and is it something you can take where you
5:19
have to reduce the risk for us and for the rest of the people make sure no one gets near any of that
5:24
stuff no uh i think the best thing would be
5:30
for me to actually just start the ceremony of cleansing here and we need to start with
5:37
the boy yeah so keep in mind these ceremonies aren’t quick things yeah i know she
5:44
can’t travel and do it you may want to yes yeah but then i need to assess the how
5:52
uh czar loon the younger is doing because if he has a very fast moving disease
5:59
or whatever was he diseased he wasn’t diseased yeah
6:14
we have a couple of other people hurt but we didn’t detect any disease spirits on them does that make them okay yes if
6:21
if we get rid of the diseased spirits or move out of the area where they are but i don’t really want to leave any of
6:27
them here either because that’s they’ll just spread it to other people how about
6:34
and then some of us ride back and burn the broo because we’re probably faster than the
6:39
herd anyway if those those who can ride pretty well
6:48
oh what what do i actually think about burning them or i mean i i do not want to have them
6:53
actually i mean what does are you going to give them the full are you going to give
6:58
i mean i can i do not give them any rights rights no but but what does cat tag
7:04
actually think about bruce she hates them they’re chaos so i ignore
7:09
them so they’re dead they’re dead i mean the only thing is is that they are sources of disease
7:17
and um it it probably
7:25
is encourages the disease spirits if there corpses are allowed to rot uh can can we
7:32
burn them here and then everybody ride off and then do any of the cleansing at the location by
7:39
the spirits you know bizarrely and everything does that make sense or are you nervous about bringing them with the disease spirits
7:45
although being at a whole a highly a holy site with Storm Bull you might help us with them with the purification right i’m not i’m
7:51
not that worried about the spirits i think i can do those quite easily but i’m worried about how
7:57
fast sarlun is getting worse is there any way to assess how fast uh or how bad the disease got is do you
8:04
possess um the easiest way is if you possess the skill treat disease which i suspect
8:12
you don’t i really don’t think i do gina
8:18
do you know where would it be oh there’s a knowledge
8:23
skill bottom left it’s a knowledge skill i have seen basic 15 with my bonus i can try yeah
8:32
i have a hammer i very i have a very high harmony room keep in mind keep in mind you can’t
8:39
augment all the time with every role no that’s the reason why i only do it
8:45
on my basic 15 okay okay where’s the try where’s the try 18. ah
8:54
flesh wound uh well you you know he’s sick no 18 it’s not superior but the problem
9:01
is you know he’s sick but you don’t know if this is a a chronic disease so basically the
9:09
levels of of diseasiness and requests
9:17
let me just go to that is you have let me make sure i’m using the correct
9:23
terminology but i could do some first aid on him that’s not going to really help with a
9:29
disease not a cold washcloth on his head so there’s uh the levels of disease
9:36
are mild which um means it’s gonna it’s mild he’s probably
9:43
gonna pull through on an on on a mild case of a disease in game mechanic terms it means you lose
9:50
one characteristic point per week uh if it’s an acute
9:56
you would lose one carrot you have a chance of losing one characteristic point daily where it becomes more problem is
10:03
if problematic is if it’s serious you lose one you have a chance of losing one
10:09
characteristic point per hour or if it’s terminal
10:14
in which case he loses one characteristic point every five minutes
10:19
well we know it’s not terminal he’s probably dead exactly but there’s one thing i can actually do
10:26
for him because i maybe can sing him a calming song can
10:32
you write um he’s arlen the magnificent if
10:37
requisite 13 year old kid i don’t think he has studied his letters
10:42
no writing can he ride uh if i recall zarlun the magnificent
10:49
could so i suspect his son can as well i mean can he still he wrote over here
10:56
so yes he’s written all day so he’s still able to ride
11:01
yeah he can put him in a saddle i mean he’s sick he is he’s not getting my super settled
11:07
but he [Laughter] he’s sick he’s a 13 year old boy
11:14
that’s the reason why i sing him a lullaby that’s the reason why i sing to him to
11:21
come and die it’s never bad
11:27
and yes i think to him okay charlene the younger is is is calmer
11:34
okay guys what’s your plan i could just smoke a little bit of hazia and get his
11:40
spirit done quick and then you spend the whole rest of it for a full ceremony later can i actually augment
11:47
her spirit battle in a spirit combat she’s using spirit combat i’m not gonna let you
11:53
augment her spirit combat with your spirit combat okay meanwhile we’ll we’ll burn we’ll
11:59
get the we’ll get enough stuff to burn the bodies so who’s all on broo burning
12:04
detail um i’m obviously staying with zaloon the
12:09
younger to see that nothing goes wrong okay actually i have to deal with augur
12:15
i’ll uh i’ll venture among the bodies and so Garan and i will we’ll two we can do to
12:20
burn and we’ll see if it has an ignite spell the throat because we’re gonna throw anybody heaven ignites an ignite spell
12:28
uh no one in our party does but there may be someone in the whole group that does
12:34
i’m gonna assume that somebody you know who has a uh doesn’t doesn’t filter or something
12:41
somebody like that have one if he doesn’t look
12:48
yeah he’s there as well isn’t he
12:53
that’ll take a while
12:59
okay well then you guys are gonna spend quite a bit of time trying to get the fire going and gather up the wood
13:06
and whatnot i’d like you guys to each make a con times five rolls simply for for doing this
13:14
uh 30. so i’m okay okay that’s a success cult rash uh nope he doesn’t okay Kulbrasts you’re
13:22
feeling ill no no sorry sorry no no wait wait wait no doesn’t
13:29
have a ignite spell i’m not actually piling broos oh sorry my
13:36
apologies Garan did you would you play as well i detected that
13:41
note of you know secret joy today
13:48
against 65. all right uh Kulbrast uh
13:54
you’re you’re tending to zarlund gina’s singing uh Nisk and Garan are spending an awful
14:02
lot of time trying to light broo on fire and gathering um
14:09
right well i thought it was a fire rune at 70 it’s like it’s almost his best thing and he doesn’t have ignite
14:21
disruption mobility protection speed art
14:26
you know what was thinking about learning ignite um at the next opportunity he’s getting
14:32
tired of this because i’m giving him a series of extras
14:40
i mean i’m pretty sure i have something actually in my backpack will burn something because this is
14:47
actually my profession so i have maybe flintstone and whatever do you know who
14:52
probably does possess it though as an Ernalda initiate and the tender of of your hearth and all
15:00
that probably or girl actually yeah orgo anyways because he see he’s cooking and everything you know
15:06
exactly so but but first we have to get orger into shape yes
15:12
all right so before while you’re dealing with that i’d like to deal with and kala in her effort to deal with the
15:20
disease spirit yes and kala how good
15:26
is your spirit combat 74. okay let me
15:33
see do you want it better okay i will give you another
15:42
give me a moment here scroll around and stuff okay you are going to get an extra um
15:51
10 on it and you’re also going to get and your damage bonus is going to go up by an extra d6
15:57
oh wow that’s glamour it’s one of those spells it’s very under
16:03
appreciated and you don’t have to cast it you can also have cool brass casted on you too okay
16:09
yeah i can actually get that myself because that’s a full d6 extra it depends on your level
16:16
but it adds eight points of charisma which is roughly an increase in your ability to to do it yeah glamorous glamour is an
16:24
awesome spell it raises my spirit combat from d six plus three to two d six plus three
16:29
now if you really want good you should see cast charisma and then you’re then yourself then you have to join
16:35
then you have to join a cult that has access to that well yeah i actually have from from before
16:42
my spirit combat damage one d6 plus nine because i have chosen well you’re a
16:48
shaman you’ll be tougher but you get an extra d6 yeah
16:53
yeah okay okay guys thank you let’s do it here yeah so you’re you’re going to perform
16:59
yours your uh you smoke your saw hacia yeah from my gigantic you remember the horde
17:07
bison horn oh yeah your bison horn yes bison no
17:14
no this is not for recreational purposes this is spiritual yes so you do have a bong for recreational
17:21
while you uh you play around with some casper nets or something to get yourself into the
17:28
uh it was a loon is looking on this well meanwhile gina is
17:35
trying to heal up or girl here and all right Enkala you’re able
17:40
to discorporate and you can see the diseased spirit that
17:45
has possessed zarlone it is a foul disgusting thing it it
17:52
uh and it is causing pain and suffering and pollution to pour zarlun’s soul
18:00
yeah this is going down i i move into it i attack it
18:08
all right go for it please roll
18:17
that’s an 11. okay it’s gonna try to block with its spirit combat ability
18:22
it’s gonna try to block you here and pbg 95
18:30
even though it’s got an 85 chance at it i believe a 95 is a failure please roll
18:42
that’s a 16 16 points of damage yeah wow okay
18:49
it’s going to try and strike you it’s in bad you’ve badly weakened the spirit
18:55
and it succeeds on a 53 do you block it i block i also have spirit screen 5 on
19:02
me so i actually fail my block
19:11
by two percent six magic points plus one seven magic
19:18
point loss i get two points damage magic point damage yes right
19:23
yes new round new round
19:32
oh i had somewhere i was keeping track of my magic points but now i can’t find
19:38
it just there’s something really quick
19:56
is okay
20:07
uh actually we don’t need to roll twice so that was two rounds of combat there um that was two rounds of cards just an
20:14
opposed role yeah it’s just an opposed role my apologies here it’s
20:19
it’s okay go for it again a regular success
20:27
versus a critical of a zero one
20:37
oh my on a critical success but wasn’t that the blocking no it’s
20:43
it’s an opposed role it’s not a post role we roll it simultaneously not good so zero one um
20:51
oh right oh a question first jeff uh my previous one
20:57
was a special uh did that do extra damage
21:05
your first one the one that did 16 points of damage yeah not a special no it was a special
21:12
you rolled a special but you just rolled 2d6 plus yeah yeah you needed to roll 46 because i
21:20
wrote two more d6 maybe that might make a difference i’m not sure it’s going to make a huge difference okay if i kill it four plus you managed to
21:28
dismiss the spirit it had one magic point left it had one match quite left i wasn’t
21:35
sure it made a difference that was right difference because yeah but now when you
21:40
that’s just a reminder to both of us because we don’t do a spirit combat that often but the
21:46
spirit confidence done as an opposed role we look at you know he’s got a winner and it’s got a loser
21:51
yeah uh based on that if you do a crit and uh flat out through a critical
21:58
success um against a failure you do um you bypass any spiritual armor
22:07
and you roll double damage that includes spirit screen or any of that uh special you double it
22:15
uh so and on a special uh critical success against a physical
22:22
thing you can also suffer hit point damages so but it doesn’t matter you for faced
22:29
away the spirit and chased it off and here’s the really great thing
22:34
you are now immune let me just double check here you are
22:40
immune to uh whatever disease it was that uh inflicted zarlun the
22:47
younger creeping tunes yeah you are immune to that disease for a year oh
22:54
that’s cool so write down immune intel end of storm season
23:01
16 20 6.
23:12
but yes you have chased the disease off charlemagne the younger
23:17
and i’m gonna say at this point uh Nisk and Garan are able to
23:24
light the with the help of orgaro who by by now is is more or less functioning
23:30
thanks to gina’s administrations gina how many magic points do you have left anyways
23:36
magic points i still have let’s see um i haven’t used that many
23:46
i think i’ve only used one well the door did get hit did you use
23:51
that to heal him yeah i wanted to heal him i did already heal on him and the one and now i can do
23:58
it don’t know another one i don’t know what i can do
24:06
because i have no room points left okay well then you’re gonna have to cast uh over and over again uh
24:14
your heel one spell yes you really may want to think about getting a better heel spell you seem to
24:20
be using it a lot i’m in the wrong affection you know
24:26
you know reluctantly yes i it’s awkward so i heal him but
24:31
otherwise i always look more to the dead or more to the to the living side and then i decide but
24:38
ogre is special because he’s making my makeup and my hair you know it’s like a value troll kid
24:44
equivalent well anyways you guys burn the broo and are able um
24:51
uh with that funeral power going on and it’s a disgusting smelling uh a
25:00
pile of of of bodies you know it’s a smell of
25:05
of um foul hair and skins and
25:13
knows what else so that’s it’s smoky and stinky uh of a pyre
25:21
but with that i’m assuming you all are wanting to move forward with the um
25:26
move forward with the herd about how long do you think it would take to have uh gotten that fire going well probably
25:32
about at least an hour and we could get the herders and everything getting everybody going and started and we’ll follow up
25:39
i think we would because it’ll take them a while to get going and get the beasts all you know sorted out
25:44
so we probably didn’t lose we didn’t lose two hours but we certainly lost an
25:49
hour okay so
25:55
you’re able to get mo um to get yourself moving at some point on the uh
26:03
uh uh the trip the one of the stable antelopes
26:09
uh stops moving and lies down on the ground it’s one of the ones that had been hit
26:15
with uh one of the slings or arrows of the broo soul waste there’s nothing left
26:23
the spirit’s gone so what you gonna do gonna leave it there poor suffering
26:30
stable antelope looks eat with big brown eyes
26:38
is it what do i see of its soul now it’s weaker than yours
26:46
by five you think it’s got one of the more aggressive uh versions of the spell and is probably
26:52
losing characteristic point per hour i think this one has to actually be slaughtered because uh
26:58
if it’s got no more soul left then it doesn’t have to be good for anything it has some i think
27:05
still yeah but if it’s gone yeah no but if it’s lying down now it’s not going to get that soul back to
27:12
where it goes up and walks again do you think i i could try again
27:31
yeah well i could try and get soul waste myself that’s always a good option
27:40
do i still have the augments from this no i can catch the smell again that’s easy enough yeah do that
27:47
do please shall i try before treat disease again
27:54
what do you think see your guys call not mine that’s not hurt does it hurt might as
28:00
well try well it can but it’s worth it you try 97.
28:08
that was close it’s it’s that’s a fumble yes it’s
28:14
it’s a fumble you’ve moved it into terminal
28:20
i told you this is the thing with the living and the dead and so on you know it’s an antelope it doesn’t go anywhere
28:27
when it’s dead what does it yeah that’s the reason i can die
28:33
it’s seriously sick it is seriously sick um and by the time you you even perform
28:40
the ritual and are able to do this so the question you have is do you leave it to die here
28:47
or do you give it the peaceful cut he’ll have a peaceful cut how good are you at peaceful cut that’s what i’m
28:53
gonna check i don’t think i’ve actually ever done that before
29:00
i know how to do it but does anybody else know the peaceful cut
29:06
no really easily yeah so how tall should know i’m surprised he doesn’t
29:13
because it’s a speech another thing i didn’t write okay again the rule of thumb on npcs is
29:19
i gave you these stats that are most likely to be pertinent in a combat system oh no he does
29:25
he’s got it yeah tall has it pretty well has a high skill in it yeah josh far too so so he’s going to
29:33
perform the peaceful cut on this table updated version of our hotel
29:44
no he’s not a stable writer joshua is joshua yeah joshua does it he’s a sibling it’s
29:54
not so peaceful it fails it’s poor antelope
29:59
it’s just it was quite well off bit sick when we arrived
30:06
it’s just
30:13
animal veterinarian and josh barr josh barr’s
30:23
a peaceful cut this is one spirit that is not going to be happy with you
30:29
it’s not going to be finding its ways to the the fat happy plains of the spirit plant
30:35
someone will be haunted i i am very i am very
30:43
saddened with you all boy but under a gloom
30:50
of of of death and disease
30:55
cursed by the bruise and cursed by us uh an angry a sad stable antelope that
31:03
you know aratha might not be happy with you all
31:09
and waha might not be either you all travel across the uh continue traveling across
31:16
the plains uh within in less than an hour after you guys um are about the time where the the
31:24
sable antelope died you all cross a uh a riverbed and there’s a trickle
31:33
of rip of water flowing down this this wall it’s a uh a wadi or
31:39
um uh you know one of these in the deserts you have these these
31:46
gullies that are mixed to the triangle when it rains
31:52
they fill up with water awfully fast
31:58
but right now it is this is a sort of thing that if it was raining beyond heavy it’d probably be
32:03
too dangerous to uh travel over but it’s not it’s just drizzling and actually the rain is
32:10
uh the rain has probably died down completely and it’s just that east that wind
32:17
blowing from the east right now that you feel and you go over and cross it and head
32:24
another 15 plus kilometers uh
32:30
and in the distance to the northwest you can see tata’s high tumulus uh
32:38
grow in size and i i sent you guys the story about the death of tada tata was once
32:45
the the king of all of this this this land when it was part
32:50
of gennard’s garden and which is now prax and uh tata was slain by
32:58
ragna glare the mad god uh who is the father of the broo
33:05
he’s also the father along with malia and fed he is the father of whackbot the
33:12
devil and uh part of the unholy trio so didn’t some kick-ass heroes
33:22
give him what for kick ass heroes now that’s going around
33:35
um but the point is is that it’s it is an impressive the the tumulus and
33:41
you guys didn’t take this route last time you went further to the south the tumulus is just this huge burial
33:48
mound a thousand meters or so high it’s the burial mound for uh for a giant
33:55
god and uh uh near the
34:01
uh you can see the sleeping city hills uh rise around it and this was the
34:08
this was the uh the the city of tata’s people it’s now
34:14
nothing but uh you know huge rock formations
34:20
uh if anybody’s ever been to bryce canyon or areas like that it’s it’s that
34:26
american northwest or sorry american southwest rock formations
34:32
in the desert uh uh kind of terrain and you can see it in
34:37
the distance distinctive mazes and weird amphitheaters and and so forth
34:43
it’s it’s really uh an impressive sight but more importantly is you can see
34:51
you know some your that the road is some six or seven mile
34:57
or kilometers to the south of the sleeping city hills and you can see the obscure plinth
35:05
and the obscure plant is this standing stone that’s been raised out here in the
35:10
middle of the steps without anything else uh anything else
35:16
around so uh maybe it would be useful to even
35:22
show you guys a little bit of the map how’s that can i sure but maybe the host
35:27
do some screens oh okay give me a moment here sorry that’s the problem with these
35:35
also available from
35:54
so if you can see here can you guys see uh tata’s high tumulus
36:01
here yep and the obscure plinth and uh the sleeping city
36:09
city hills Enkala you know that this is an important spirit place
36:14
the whole area around tata’s high tumbulus is where um that’s where a lot of shamans are
36:20
initiated it’s where tata because it’s the resting place of of
36:26
tata the uh the you know the great the first con of prax very very
36:33
important to your religion and it’s also where uh the tribes who possess the gridly
36:41
portion grisly portions of tada uh try to assemble them there to
36:47
sometimes uh have his spirit manifest uh to to protect you all the the
36:54
loincloth the cudjol the the lion skin etc of tada you know it’s it’s
37:02
he’s a really great praxian um uh hero cult lots of great stories about
37:08
how awesome tata was for the orlanti yeah you know not that important
37:16
chaos killed many gods remembered the tough ones fought and survived yep at least you got a nice burial tomb
37:23
out of it hey it’s impressive yeah so brave warrior
37:28
but i want who who is gonna be who’s most determined
37:36
and most affected by who’s present at the um at the obscure plan
37:43
i think that’s an inkhala what do you guys think and carla would you roll percentile dice
37:49
for me yes
37:58
it’s 47. there are a number of praxions
38:06
or at least people assembled at the uh obscure plinth
38:12
would you roll one more dice roll and i would give you some more information please roll d10
38:24
eight there is a herd of
38:30
bison and bison riders they’re uh camped out by the obscure
38:38
plinth a big old herd of uh bison let’s say i’d say um
38:46
there’s a good somewhere between 20 and 30 um
38:53
bison writers so that probably means 50 or so bison do we recognize them
39:00
well that’s the question so here’s your there’s there is a big group there is a
39:07
big campaign of of proxies here
39:13
but they’re from a different tribe video and you don’t know who they are from this
39:19
distance other than their bison writers and there’s a lot of them your party could not
39:25
i think it’s reasonable to assume that if 12 to 13 broo were tough
39:33
20 to 30 bison riders is not something a fight that you would want to have especially did we lose any bison
39:42
during the fight no the bison wasn’t affected by the disease he was a little injured but that’s it
39:48
he’s tougher than a sable what was the bison rider con at the
40:16
who happens to be that happens to be your tribe well now it is uh
40:24
though my animal oh yeah not my clan yeah sure um you’re he was from a different clan
40:30
than yours but the same tribe i always mix up clan and tribe
40:36
i have to check the okay um okay um i’m not in love with bison
40:44
riders but there are likely storm bulls in there and would really like to worship
40:53
but they’ll steal our animals if we’re not strong so how do we show strength these are
41:00
all good questions so how do you guys um how do you plan to what what is your
41:07
guy’s plan we’ll try some nice diplomacy first and if that doesn’t work i’ll challenge the
41:13
biggest one of them to a fight don’t forget he wouldn’t want to be
41:18
mounted i mean you have to go and introduce
41:24
these details don’t you Nisk yeah you’re welcome to do it you can
41:29
just do it we have our impressive banners so maybe
41:34
we just ride up to them oh yeah yeah we’ve got a lot of animals and stuff we
41:41
can clamber up as well you know just to be on the same side if you recall the the bison writer
41:48
you’ve dealt with the most is um i believe narmed
41:53
whirlwind of uh new pavis who i don’t think you guys got along that
42:00
well that was our neighbor wasn’t it the guy who wanted our house i mean who’s your neighbor aubry’s house
42:06
who is now our neighbor
42:11
so um yes uh if i recall it is uh
42:17
narmed whirlwishbane if you did not deal with bison writers so much at the block
42:23
i believe it was high llamas
42:29
so how do you plan to deal with this beyond them probably head up to a distance i guess
42:34
assume praxions how to other how do you meet other clubs do you go up a distance and call out or what do you
42:40
do in column like how do you greet them i mean you must have this issue before
42:46
i mean they’ve got they’ve got hold of it we do have to ask to you know say that we are what i would come in and say we are Storm Bulls Storm Bull
42:52
worshipers have come to um dedicate that you know to offer sacrifices to
42:58
the um to the what would you call in the desert wind on his most important of days yeah this
43:05
would be some kind of like uh praxian culture thing that the player is a good opportunity to use this
43:11
the skill praxion customs customs praxion ah but i only have the
43:18
high lama tribe wow that’s that’s they’re more or less
43:24
the same there yeah you will listen to the way that high llamas deal with it i have it too if you want
43:29
now you would be more specific to the bison i believe because uh yeah i’m i’m writing a bison
43:36
yeah yeah okay you are the best speaker of us as well
43:42
so i can go up and talk to them i’ll cast my glamour first but go up and call out
43:48
and ladies and gentlemen this is the most i’ve ever seen glamour used
44:02
as well it doesn’t stack that doesn’t work there is a there is a spell at stax
44:08
that’s and i used it once before which is called charisma and not only does that make double your
44:13
charisma skill because of the score not with the glamour part but it also makes you really really good in
44:19
spirit combat in that i use that when that’s the one i cast when we were um
44:24
in the when you’re going among the spirits just to be careful so i will i will cast glamour and then i
44:30
will come up and try to call call out to them um as fellow storm bulls on the holy day
44:38
okay so let’s see how well you’re practicing customs goes all right my role is a 15.
44:46
and a 15 is just a success excellent excellent so you go forth you give a
44:52
peaceful gesture um and there is as i said there’s there’s 30 plus
44:59
uh bison writers here they want to know who you are um
45:05
and and everything so tell me what you say well say i i am Nisk um Nisk of the
45:11
white bull i’m a thane of Argrath on a mission to a mission for him to go to
45:17
to bolt home i am a lay member of Storm Bull and with me with my companions are
45:22
others other Storm Bull um formal initiate and other lay members that have come to sacrifice the high holy day
45:28
earlier this day we faced and fought chaos i am also the niss who slew and
45:34
who verified at that block slew an avatar of um of uh would you black
45:42
a regular okay i want two things first off what
45:48
language are you saying this all in proxy how good are you in praxion
45:54
uh my praxion is languages um it’s pretty darn good yeah okay it’s
46:02
in it’s over 50. okay now here’s the difficulty you have is i’m sure your orate is a lot better
46:09
than your proxy more than double so i’m going to restrict your ability to give a good speech by basically how
46:17
crappy your second language is um i think this is a uh a fair thing now
46:23
you get to add a few points because you have charisma on you yep and this might be a good the
46:30
uh final other thing is what is your reputation um my reputation is not huge it’s 30.
46:43
yeah isn’t your reputation actually less than mine is your bodyguard yeah well yeah my reputation is 37.
46:54
nobody’s ever heard of unesco they don’t have no idea who you are um i am going to augment i’d like to
47:00
augment this one i think it’s the most important role for me and i’m going to augment with my loyalty to Argrath okay would you roll
47:09
okay that’s a 22 so that’s a success okay so add 20 points to your chance are
47:15
you ready plus whatever you got from glamour yep please raw i really 36
47:23
and my skill is a 71 or 73. okay so with with many you uh
47:31
wherever whenever he gets stuck in figuring out the right praxian word he says i work for the white bull white
47:38
bull i kill chaos uh but he does an okay job his
47:45
he manages to to get the other um uh bison writers there
47:52
to bring you to their Storm Kahn their Storm Kahn uh our kill one eye our kill one eye
48:00
is a one eyed imagine that uh uh Storm bull leader and this is he is a
48:07
Storm Kahn and uh he is here to
48:12
offer sacrifices to the Storm Bull so um you all
48:21
want to participate in this religious worship i believe when we have brought a spear to
48:26
sacrifice that we did we took from broo earlier today obviously a sign that storm bull is with
48:32
us okay who is going to um
48:39
uh who is going to prove that they are an initiate of the Storm Bull
48:46
not me i am the only initiative stormwill in the group
48:51
that that you are trick question
48:56
yeah i mean you guys are you’re a mixed party here you you’re you’re coming in um none of
49:03
you are bison riders and you’re coming in with these tales of having killed
49:08
chaos and fought bro and white bull etc but this is a storm bull religious
49:16
a religious right how are you going to prove that you’re
49:22
an initiate of the Storm Bull you could do this with cold war you could do this with devotion to the
49:27
Storm Bull you could do this by calling on the bulls magic you could do this you tell me
49:36
i can’t really call on the bulls magic because you’re out of run points i’m out of room points um but i would
49:44
think that my devotion to Storm Bull would be the correct well the best
49:51
that’s a good one how good is it it’s a 60 so it’s like not um
49:58
you could augment it if you think this is the important role whatever i think it might be because if i can
50:04
prove i am they might accept this i mean that’s very true but i do also of course tell them i am
50:11
and kala also known as the troublemaker stormbull shaman
50:17
um and i was also there at the slaying of ragnar i
50:22
chased him i actually charged him in front of everyone uh what’s your reputation
50:30

  1. they’ve some of them have heard of you wow you’re actually we’re i wrote a 0-3
    50:37
    for their reputation here so uh
    50:43
    they would even have known algorithm and now he dumped him in front of none they wouldn’t
    50:49
    why not with a three pretty close so actually with the three
    50:54
    yes because of uh uh zero one two zero five is also always a success so
    51:00
    um so they they they some of them have heard who
    51:05
    you are i want you to row your devotion anyways but you’re going to be
    51:11
    able to participate in the rights that’s a 22. so that’s a good success
    51:18
    ah so so you are going to be um allowed to participate as
    51:26
    an initiate in our kills um offerings to the
    51:33
    the uh the the Storm Bull uh Nisk and
    51:40
    uh Kulbrast or Kulbrasts and Garan well no sir okay difference here
    51:47
    Nisk and Kulbrasts you all are and initiates of a cult associated with
    51:55
    the Storm Bull which lets you actually also be in the the main area they’re fulfilling the
    52:02
    role as uh Storm Bull’s brother yep uh Garan you are a lay member of storm
    52:10
    bowls you are allowed to be a a witness
    52:15
    but you don’t get to see that as a a lay member in a cult you won’t really be able to to
    52:23
    see any of the secrets of what’s going on or pure appear into the other world but
    52:29
    you’re allowed to offer the Storm Bull magic points and [Music]52:35
    exactly gina yeah you’re not allowed to participate why not i mean i have a rotation of
    52:43
  2. and i’m actually specialized in grapes yes uh are you an initiate of
    52:51
    thai quarter tech is not associated with uh the Storm Bull are you a lay member
    52:57
    of strombold no so can i find somebody to help um
    53:05
    order in the meantime you
    53:11
    this whole community and there are there is a shaman as well who participates in this
    53:16
    um oh sorry there’s not a show there’s an aretha um uh
    53:23
    cal initiate um who’s present here but she’s gonna participate in the rights as well there’s several aretha women um
    53:31
    who will participate in this and this is the great high holy day of of storm bull and the the magical
    53:39
    rights here reenact and celebrate what came after uh the
    53:48
    uh fight against ragnaglar uh when ragnakar killed tada the next part
    53:55
    of the story is that the storm bull came down um to avenge
    54:03
    his his friend tada and he tore apart
    54:10
    ragnaglar and ragnagar was it was no slouch ragnaglar the mad god was one of
    54:15
    the sons of umoth and very much uh Storm Bull’s equal but stormbull killed glare
    54:24
    and then though Storm Bull had to face ragnaglar’s son whackbot the devil
    54:33
    and i believe all of you all are familiar with that particular myth that this is the great myth of the storm
    54:39
    bowl and why the praxians consider him to be the greatest of all gods
    54:45
    because black both is chaos and those of you all who are participating in those
    54:50
    rights you have this feel it was like when you fought the broo but much much more uh intense
    54:59
    and terrifying uh Enkala this is your source of your sense chaos
    55:06
    ability and your your sense chaos skill is is recognizing
    55:12
    presence and um to be honest wack both is
    55:19
    way more powerful than Storm Bull this is something you experience in in in this ceremony he is mightier
    55:28
    he is stronger he is far more terrifying um and it didn’t matter
    55:35
    you know whack both as a world destroyer it didn’t matter to the Storm Bull and in these
    55:42
    rights Enkala you are wounded you are injured you um
    55:49
    but you tell me do you flee ever from um uh whack both
    55:56
    never no possess the face chaos rinse spell i do
    56:03
    not no you do not how about you uh Garan i do not i like you Kulbrast
    56:11
    no if you wanted to get it there’d be a good place to learn it this would be a place you could learn it
    56:18
    uh unless you are willing to offer a sacrifice of power to the storm boy i
    56:24
    believe he provides that to Orlanth as an associated spell and let if you
    56:29
    sacrif this would be a place where if you sacrifice a point of power
    56:34
    you can stand against wackboth otherwise you will be forced to to flee
    56:41
    this part of the ceremony and i will spend a point
    56:46
    question uh i was out of rune points but i do have the spell does that mean i’ll still run away no no
    56:54
    no you’re an initiative Storm Bull yeah okay you already bear Storm Bull’s magic this is this is this
    57:01
    is you’re an initiate of the cult you can stand against whack both yep there’s no chase
    57:08
    chaos it’s for non it’s for non um non-stormbolt
    57:15
    is it
    57:21
    is it worth a permanent power loss for layman you can’t garrett you’re not an initiative
    57:28
    you’re not in the inner circles so you just see is it worth it for Orlanth it is and it’s
    57:34
    worth it and other reasons for me is that just impacts my pool right i don’t have to use it just for
    57:39
    this if i took what’s the other spell um
    57:46
    no and there’s another initiate the initiate could take the one that that you cast on me last combat
    57:57
    that one i’d have to actually form a new pool that i could only use for impede chaos but this is just for me it impacts my
    58:02
    regular rune point cool so long term it’s actually better to do this
    58:08
    because you’re not worshiping this storm bull you’re you’re there as Orlanth i’m there as Orlanth i am a
    58:14
    there is storm bull’s brother yes little brother so uh Niskan and face chaos
    58:22
    uh Kulbrasts this is the point where you you fillet because it’s thunderer didn’t fight to
    58:28
    the bitter end against white cloth and and i already fled from bragging law so it’s
    58:33
    yeah that’s right
    58:42
    all right so you experienced this akala um Nisk you don’t experience though the
    58:50
    bit of you stand and you fight that you don’t ex or you stand against whackbot but you
    58:56
    don’t get dragged into the core fight um of stormwall
    59:02
    you you’re there to provide support to storm bull you’re one of the the the the allies the allied gods
    59:10
    of of stormbo and this but Enkala you experience uh and every time the high holy day
    59:18
    rights go through you you experience how terrifying how mighty wackboth is and how doomed
    59:26
    you are in this fight and how amazing stormbull was for actually still doing
    59:33
    it yep you get pounded you get killed
    59:38
    and you still fight because a right that gives you um her power
    59:45
    to to keep up the fight and it still goes on and wacboth is still
    59:52
    tougher than than than you all and then you experience the the moment where the universe
    59:59
    itself the cosmos itself comes to Storm Bull’s age and hurls the
    1:00:06
    block onto wek boss and you are you you experience being
    1:00:14
    bloodied and gored and torn apart um but then are healed at the end of the
    1:00:22
    the the ceremony by shalana arroyo the the good goddess and
    1:00:29
    with this i want you to now make your uh i believe
    1:00:36
    you have to make a worship Storm Bull yeah Kulbrast you and this get to make
    1:00:42
    worship orlan rolls in this this is not a high holy day for you but you can get rim points back at this
    1:00:51
    uh any pluses to this role yes because you bought chaos
    1:00:58
    immediately before that i am going to give you a big bonus uh for
    1:01:05
    storm before for that give me one moment to look at the potential bonuses but i’m going
    1:01:11
    to consider your fight against a broo immediately before this as a type of
    1:01:19
    sacrifice and it’s the high holy day so add first
    1:01:24
    add 40 to your chance okay
    1:01:29
    and add um another 30 for doing that for your
    1:01:37
    uh chaos fighting would we jeff do we get like 20 or
    1:01:42
    something then you all are gonna get um i’m gonna give
    1:01:47
    you guys no points for
    1:01:55
    let me see here i’m going to give you plus 10 because it um it’s it’s stormbolt’s day
    1:02:02
    and i’m going to give you plus 20. for the offering so plus 30 to your
    1:02:08
    chance that’s pretty darn good right he’s accepting the spear
    1:02:15
    oh in the spear oh yeah you’re offering the spear so that is one
    1:02:23
    other thing i’m going to give let you guys all get
    1:02:28
    an additional 10 points onto this and kala how good is your skill right now
    1:02:34
    10737 yeah
    1:02:45
    i roll a 90 so i’m very glad i had all those bonuses i rolled the 33. so coleridas you’re
    1:02:52
    plus 40 to your worship yeah i have a 25. so no i rolled the 25. yeah so
    1:03:00
    yes no problem okay in cala you get all your rune points back
    1:03:11
    cold breast and Nisk are always d6 that’s how many you get back last time i did this it was a one
    1:03:19
    five this time five
    1:03:42
    correct but this was a big worship ceremony here this took all yes renkala
    1:03:49
    uh is this where i tried to contact stormbull in order for the shamanic gift
    1:03:55
    geese this would not be the point of this because you’re following the directions of our kill who
    1:04:03
    is the bull man here you don’t get to go off on your own independent vision quest here
    1:04:08
    because the bull man uh the the Storm Kahn uh instead what happens here here is
    1:04:15
    is that after this there is a uh there is a feast
    1:04:22
    and a festival to everyone is uh invited to it and it’s being
    1:04:28
    um a Storm Bull feast um it’s bison meat lots and lots of bison meat
    1:04:35
    it’s uh uh all of the alcoholic
    1:04:41
    and intoxicating substances that the storm bulls could bring here and of
    1:04:46
    course they brought everything they could uh at this and uh
    1:04:52
    you know storm bull it’s a is a pretty good cruel crude god so it’s basically
    1:04:59
    they eat they drink they have sex they you know they they celebrate it’s it’s
    1:05:05
    their their big uh uh festival that the Storm Bull is alive
    1:05:14
    and even even non-lay members anybody here is allowed to show up
    1:05:21
    at the final bit of it because the storm goes at a certain point they get drunk and they don’t really care because
    1:05:29
    this isn’t the important part of it now they just want to celebrate and uh uh
    1:05:36
    uh celebrate being alive and they do this by getting extremely drunk eating
    1:05:43
    uh eating food and gina they tear
    1:05:56
    they strip their clothes off they could vote around like like like bulls and cows
    1:06:04
    uh it is it is something you gotta tell me you’re
    1:06:10
    you’ve got no you’re very strong in the the the death room and although all those storm
    1:06:17
    bull is a death run cult um and most of what he’s his claim to
    1:06:25
    fame is for is death he celebrates life
    1:06:30
    in his ceremonies it’s so i mean i started discussion with
    1:06:36
    somebody uh can you speak practicing no
    1:06:43
    even better i started discussion with somebody which doesn’t understand me do you drink their
    1:06:50
    that that they’re intoxicating beverages and yeah why not
    1:06:57
    okay how’s i give some to order right i give some to orders as well for the
    1:07:03
    okay okay all right Garan poor giron
    1:07:18
    a bunch of the storm bull cultists of course you’re a lay member they they offer you a
    1:07:24
    [Music] leather flasks bags
    1:07:31
    come on garrett what you do i uh politely and then increasingly
    1:07:36
    insistently refuse [Laughter]1:07:41
    and i’m also assuming that garrett you’ve got really no function for the the
    1:07:50
    this whole thing is just kind of a downer for you isn’t it you’re in it’s not it’s not it’s not great i may
    1:07:56
    have picked the wrong cult to be a layman bro
    1:08:02
    any renounce and lay membership for himself no no no i’m i’m clinging on to it because you know it
    1:08:08
    keeps it brings the party closer together but i you know i’m going to find a a god
    1:08:15
    dedicated to sobriety and become a lay member of their cult as well uh you’re already an initiate of that
    1:08:21
    one that’s true yeah but i i just think another one to balance it out [Laughter]1:08:28
    oh okay Kulbrasts Nisk and in color you guys are poor initiates in all of this
    1:08:34
    what we’re labeling yeah but i guess we’re getting so drunk we
    1:08:39
    start speaking old worming or something not very well obviously but
    1:08:48
    are you better at old wormish than you are in praxio and cold breast yes i i don’t know any practicing i can
    1:08:56
    i know storm speech i know old where is but i don’t know practicing all right so
    1:09:01
    gina and Kulbrast are the two getting happily drunk talking in languages that nobody knows
    1:09:10
    so let’s get it down to Niskan and kala this gets drunk and speaks praxio and probably gets better
    1:09:16
    as he speaks more of it a because people don’t care and b because you know you lose any
    1:09:21
    inhibitions about worrying about the wrong word
    1:09:26
    and Enkala oh um i’m drunk i’m having fun this is fantastic
    1:09:35
    this is my day it’s storm bull’s day it is the high holy day and you were in the presence
    1:09:41
    you you are in the presence of the bull on the same day as you killed a deceased master
    1:09:48
    absolutely absolutely and you you got to re-experience that on a
    1:09:54
    much greater scale um so out of all of that
    1:10:00
    um uh i i think we will fast forward to the next morning and can i can you
    1:10:08
    tell me i mean i spend now so much time with ogor how is he doing
    1:10:14
    okay you have an Esrolian hairdresser that is currently in a uh
    1:10:20
    surrounded by a drug ceremony chef is he i thought he was actually i thought he was from travis
    1:10:28
    he was from paris and we made him actually um betray i trained him i thought he was an Esrolian refugee
    1:10:34
    wasn’t he your problem is i have no idea where you i don’t know where you put his character
    1:10:40
    she just i’m i’m pretty sure he was originally an erolian refugee
    1:10:46
    that she found uh there in new pavis but basically new pavis which he always
    1:10:54
    considered to be a fairly barbaric city despite this being its refuge looks
    1:11:00
    like no itself compared to this camp of and
    1:11:08
    you know if they’re if if they’re not copulating they’re fighting or engaging in drinking contests
    1:11:16
    or or whatever and they’re they’re they’re yelling and singing and praxian i love
    1:11:22
    singing what i love singing or girl is not this is not or girl’s idea of a good
    1:11:29
    time yeah that’s not the point i want to know how he feels i mean he got injured so
    1:11:35
    heavily so was it helpful that i spent all the healing on him and whatever yes he’s he’s he’s he’s not
    1:11:43
    near death anymore he’s okay everything hurts he complains about that a lot um
    1:11:52
    you know and you dragged him to a Storm Bull uh religious ceremony was there
    1:12:02
    um all the other folk who were initiates of Orlanth and waha were also able to participate as
    1:12:08
    associate members where while the Humakti uh stayed out of the ceremony as did
    1:12:16
    czar eel or zarlun starland the younger so let’s go forward you could babysit
    1:12:22
    sarloon of course karen that would be brilliant
    1:12:27
    you think me the babysitter cold breast well someone has to look after him while
    1:12:32
    we’re having fun it would be hard to do a worse job than you’ve done so far
    1:12:39
    well i’m doing my best you know if this is your best i do not wish to see your worst my friend
    1:12:45
    no you really don’t
    1:12:50
    oh all right let’s let’s splash forward to the next morning
    1:12:57
    it’s a shitty morning [Laughter] who wakes up with somebody they have
    1:13:04
    they don’t know who they are or even what their name is gina yes
    1:13:13
    all of us except karen or does he too i mean i don’t have to be
    1:13:19
    drunk for that obviously i mean after all i have a harmony rune of 85
    1:13:24
    and an earthquake of 90 i mean harmony not sure there’s been much harmony that
    1:13:29
    type you know this kind of goes along with the flow because that’s how gina is
    1:13:35
    she’s like get along to go along kind of personally so i dance i sing you’re happy
    1:13:42
    yeah this has a huge a very high fertility that’s the second highest rune by the way so my guess is he wakes up
    1:13:48
    with an urethane or something like that woman
    1:13:53
    you um i’m i’m just if you guys are you’re okay
    1:13:59
    with this um yes you actually are able to have
    1:14:04
    a a dalliance with an aretha initiate during the cow eye
    1:14:12
    who um you can decide whether this is something
    1:14:18
    you slink away from or whether this is something where your
    1:14:23
    your character this is something where there is a fondness that you have for this woman of
    1:14:30
    the bison writers or whatever i will leave you to to define that yourself
    1:14:36
    it wouldn’t be very honorable to sneak away would it
    1:14:48
    um Nisk will leave fondly he will give her a gift as he should and um and that
    1:14:55
    he’s not he’s not sneaking away but he’s leaving
    1:15:00
    with that you guys the the next morning
    1:15:05
    it sounds like you’re with the exception to Garan you are one hungover party hungover
    1:15:12
    on the mixed booze and other intoxicants found at a storm bull uh
    1:15:20
    festival in deep prax
    1:15:26
    and now you have uh i if i recall about 40 kilometers to ride between here and
    1:15:33
    moon broth no problem i am mounting my horse
    1:15:40
    so loudly Garan how early are you going to try to get them to take off
    1:15:47
    um well i mean you know early we want to make sure so i would think
    1:15:55
    about half an hour after they go to bed
    1:16:04
    it is unless people want to go into greater details here i just want to say you’re for most of
    1:16:11
    you it is a miserable hungover morning
    1:16:16
    uh with the exception of Garan who you’re actually now finally feeling pretty chipper
    1:16:23
    feeding off the misery of others are you i can’t drink and i can’t i can’t love
    1:16:36
    [Laughter]1:16:42
    yeah this is this is as close as gary gets to fund
    1:16:48
    so early in the morning you all um uh begin
    1:16:55
    the ride to moon broth um is it okay if we take a quick
    1:17:00
    five-minute break yeah yep that’s perfectly fine sorry
    1:17:06
    we’re back all right you guys continue your hung over uh ride
    1:17:14
    across and this is a hard terrain because you guys have to go one second one second
    1:17:22
    i’m your auntie hangover raw egg uh i don’t know whatever i put into this
    1:17:28
    cumin juice or whatever cocktail to feel better okay would you please roll against your
    1:17:35
    first aid i’m gonna let you do it just because that was too entertaining
    1:17:40
    is it just me or is gina making slightly more effort to cure a hangover than she did to cure all girl i have 70
    1:17:48
    i have a 70 on my first eight skill and enrolled in 87.
    1:17:54

    1:18:29
    i’m right up there with you 89
    1:18:35
    okay 84 but i’m not i think maybe that’s just what’s
    1:18:41
    [Laughter] [Music]1:19:04
    17 i roll in 84. so you’re fine i’m fine uh of course karen you don’t
    1:19:10
    have to roll but gina and Nisk are pretty much yes well it’s worse than
    1:19:16
    alarm for you guys it’s like it’s periodically with them kind of
    1:19:24
    [Laughter] it was a long night so
    1:19:30
    you all have 40 kilometers of this is off the trail so
    1:19:37
    40 kilometers is going to take you more than a day does anybody possess survive uh survival or any other useful skills
    1:19:45
    like that with the exception of Nisk and gina who are too busy throwing up to be able to navigate i do not i do not
    1:19:51
    have to roll that’s good so um 45 on survival
    1:19:57
    do you have a navigate skill cold breast um i should have but you know
    1:20:05
    we actually have gracie here we have our tracker with us remember yeah oh yeah there is wahata
    1:20:12
    he’s probably better this is he drunk or no hangover or he’s an apollo writer
    1:20:17
    those guys have stamina okay and just because
    1:20:24
    waha tall deliberately he’s a waha cultist waha tall yep
    1:20:31
    he he he knows well enough not to offer every drink the Storm Kahn offers
    1:20:38
    people he’s also tiny yeah he’s size four
    1:20:49
    um yeah i don’t have a specific navigate skill okay well waha tall knows the route
    1:20:56
    that’s what you guys hired before in the first place and you all travel a
    1:21:03
    full day across the steps from the obscure uh plinth
    1:21:10
    uh until you get into the grasslands of the good place and have to camp thank god
    1:21:19
    it’s a long ways um and by the end of it gina and Nisk you
    1:21:25
    guys are are finally able to to drink some water um or or more likely
    1:21:32
    actually uh water or a watered-down beer or something
    1:21:38
    and you know eat hard bread and a dried meat
    1:21:47
    and you guys are able to set up camp there near the good place with your big herd
    1:21:54
    uh and i i have to say Nisk gina you guys are exhausted
    1:22:03
    yeah so how are you guys going to handle are you guys going to set up watches during the night with your giant herd of
    1:22:09
    100 cattle yes
    1:22:16
    yep definitely i’ll ask Garan to take care of
    1:22:21
    organizing it while i take first rest [Laughter]1:22:28
    i can do first watch i’m pretty good no no no and carla i understand
    1:22:36
    i am happy to take first watch because i was wise enough to remain
    1:22:41
    pure last night you were wise enough not to live life
    1:22:48
    yesterday that’s what you were doing but okay garan has got the most like
    1:22:54
    smug uh self-satisfied expression on his
    1:22:59
    face as he’s looking at all of you is that kind of false sympathy of yes yes you must be feeling bad don’t worry
    1:23:07
    let me take the first watch i can actually see this i can actually see the pic picture made
    1:23:13
    by that artist of you with that look while scratching your raven a little bit
    1:23:20
    like yeah ostentatiously feeding it really like new bits of meat as well so you’re
    1:23:25
    getting the smell of meat just to make you feel a bit warmer i
    1:23:30
    hate you there was a point when i liked you but
    1:23:36
    no i hate you when he kills all those people it’s brilliant because you know it’s
    1:23:42
    good for you but now well you all are not nothing eventful happens
    1:23:48
    that evening um but the next morning
    1:23:54
    uh you guys are able to pack up and now Nisk and gina and colin you guys are feeling much
    1:24:00
    better actually Enkala you were feeling fine anyways and the next day
    1:24:06
    you make it to the oasis of moon broth if you guys remember this is the place
    1:24:11
    you guys uh raided uh borrowed and gave back
    1:24:18
    yeah about uh two seasons ago so it is you know you tell me do you
    1:24:25
    guys plan to go to you guys could resupply at moon broth you could
    1:24:31
    you could try to get some more food and water or you could try to avoid the place given your previous association actually
    1:24:38
    it was quite positive at the end we were friends all around because we gave the analysis my concern would be
    1:24:46
    that all of the warriors were away and if they came back they went to go get new lands right but if they didn’t get
    1:24:52
    them they’ll be back here so maybe we have someone scouted out and find out what’s
    1:24:57
    going on and then decide if we want to actually set up theirs or stay outside the oasis of it yeah i
    1:25:04
    mean you don’t you’re not gonna bring your herd right into their house their area anyway but you should we could see that see
    1:25:09
    who’s already who’s at the oasis before we decide to go too close okay
    1:25:19
    okay there are a number um i’m not gonna make you guys roll on this
    1:25:25
    there are a number of horsemen in not a big uh not a huge group of them
    1:25:32
    but there’s probably a dozen or so horsemen in the oasis
    1:25:38
    people riding horses as well as the usual oasis people
    1:25:46
    it doesn’t work okay you said horsemen right horse riders now
    1:25:54
    that would be paul jones could could be the pal journey okay so let’s let’s just stay outside
    1:26:00
    it’s not worth probably going in
    1:26:07
    that you may want to keep an extra rest watch for them so you’re going to bypass uh moon broth
    1:26:13
    entirely yeah yeah i think so yeah do we need supplies yeah do we need
    1:26:20
    it i mean if we need to we’ll stop you guys tell me um
    1:26:26
    i don’t think you guys are out of supplies okay we’re back so you guys tell me
    1:26:35
    uh you know uh Kulbrasts do you did the supplies for this thing yeah we’re fully supplied
    1:26:42
    i’ve got it down to the last gram of how much we need exactly for the
    1:26:48
    journey and that’ll let you guys move faster too
    1:26:53
    well it’s only a couple of days to swenston from here right two days okay and you got to um
    1:27:02
    i’d say you got to um moon broth maybe about a third of the way through
    1:27:09
    this day so going back to the calendar
    1:27:16
    your your day of shame was god’s day how appropriate uh and
    1:27:23
    you got to uh moon broth early on freeze day you guys could continue
    1:27:30
    traveling and actually get to get to swenston the day before
    1:27:39
    Orlanth’s high holy day which would let you either celebrate or uh the high holy day in swenston or go
    1:27:46
    all the way on to bolt home okay let’s do that let’s keep going let’s push it yeah definitely okay you
    1:27:52
    guys gotta push it i think so yeah all right you guys continue and
    1:28:02
    head up um for two days two more days i’m not that i’ve checked
    1:28:07
    to see if there’s any big exciting encounters and there hasn’t been
    1:28:12
    takes you two days to get from uh moon broth to swenston but you’re able to travel
    1:28:20
    all the way across there uh arriving in swenston
    1:28:27
    um fair uh pretty much for the middle of um
    1:28:35
    the middle of clay day now so that’s clay day tomorrow
    1:28:41
    is uh orlan’s high holy day so i’m going to let you guys make one
    1:28:46
    final decision here are you going to make the are you going to celebrate Orlanth’s high
    1:28:51
    holy day here in swenston or are you going to push really hard all the way to boldheart
    1:29:01
    swenston is right at the it’s the basically it’s the eastern
    1:29:06
    edge of the kingdom of sartar and you’re now in farmlands and whatnot but i’m going to make you guys have the
    1:29:13
    decision of where you want to celebrate the big Orlanth festival
    1:29:20
    well the temple and bold home is bigger it’s the great temple of orleans yeah so we go
    1:29:27
    on push on if we push it okay the uh swinston you guys have been
    1:29:34
    to swinston before you get um you’re you’re now though on
    1:29:39
    a royal road and you get the herd of cattle there uh there is a uh
    1:29:46
    uh customs official there are scribes there of course because you’re trying to herd a hundred cattle
    1:29:53
    on a royal road so of course there is going to be a toll
    1:29:59
    oh we’ll say these are gifts for the queen of the keldung from Argrath princess yeah Argrath
    1:30:05
    prince of pe he calls himself prince of peppas right you can remember what i wrote down on that yeah that’s how we had to introduce
    1:30:11
    them
    1:30:17
    so
    1:30:22
    it’s a typical lancor my scribe you know with their with their beard and their their their
    1:30:29
    their scroll there and they want uh the they scribe
    1:30:36
    their uh do you have some sort of a token some sort of uh i i’m gonna need a
    1:30:43
    social skill or some sort of token do you not see the banner of the white bull
    1:30:48
    do you not see the runes of the white bull on my arm you know i guess there is that that’s
    1:30:55
    it so uh i’m gonna want a social skill
    1:31:02
    to see how persuasive you are about this i will get to use my orate in my native language is that all right hey yes
    1:31:11
    hopefully i’ll do better than i did with my last role of 89 okay i succeed all right there
    1:31:18
    hit the the scribes on the the scribes are not going to impose a toll on you
    1:31:23
    of this it is pretty steep the toll to use the royal roads of um because they’re not for droving
    1:31:30
    the railroads aren’t for droving animals uh normally this is for merchants for
    1:31:37
    caravans etc primarily and and not for regular farm traffic it’s
    1:31:43
    good for travelers and whatnot but but um you know this isn’t normally how where you would
    1:31:49
    be driving big herds of cattle they let you do it anyways because it’s a gift for the prince from
    1:31:55
    um from new pavis so it’s uh you know they don’t charge a toll there
    1:32:01
    they figure since you’re giving it all to the prince it’s kind of stupid for them to do that uh the royal roads are
    1:32:10
    they are stone these are paved roads stone paved roads that are perfectly
    1:32:18
    straight they are uh if if i recall they’re between four and six meters wide
    1:32:26
    they they are engineering um marvels and wonders
    1:32:34
    and you can travel really fast on them and you start you head west into the
    1:32:41
    hills of sartar it’s storm season so actually once you get out of the valley where swenston is
    1:32:48
    and into the hills there’s probably there’s still snow on the hills here so and
    1:32:55
    and this is an area with pine trees there’s rich farms uh
    1:33:01
    you know this is this is cultivated cultivated lands and and forests
    1:33:08
    with snow well watered what a waste this is much better than
    1:33:15
    you know new pervious to be honest what well it’s got you know it’s it’s got
    1:33:21
    water how’s the open air the wind can’t really flow freely
    1:33:27
    oh there’s wind here don’t worry about that their storms are wet but there’s no wind
    1:33:33
    here is very strong yes but there’s a lot of twins and by the time you
    1:33:39
    you go going by the royal road from swenston you go by one two three four five
    1:33:46
    villages um on this day so you know there are people
    1:33:53
    and and you know unlike prax which has been basically empty
    1:33:58
    there are our villages and there’s a lot of pilgrims um on this road here on the way to ah
    1:34:07
    to bolt home for the high holy day of Orlanth a lot of a lot of men and women traveling with
    1:34:13
    gifts and whatnot because and there’s a lot of excitement amongst
    1:34:18
    them because this is the first uh high holy day of Orlanth that has been presided
    1:34:25
    over by the the rex the head of the Orlanth cult in bald home in a
    1:34:32
    generation so it’s a a a big deal
    1:34:37
    and i’m going to share the screen one more time just to show uh give me a quick moment here
    1:34:46
    wondering if we should start announcing ourselves you tell me right just an idea because i
    1:34:54
    mean we’re getting close and you know could send people in front into the villages to generate some
    1:35:01
    enthusiasm for uh the white people’s mysteries make sure they know who they use forgot
    1:35:08
    they would yeah yeah or augrath whatever they you know whoever they know
    1:35:13
    doesn’t by the way through every time we we write through i actually always look
    1:35:19
    out for roy well there will definitely be uh
    1:35:27
    schleneroy when we get to bolt home yeah but maybe somewhere earlier so well that’s gonna
    1:35:34
    take time and these guys are trying to move their cattle as fast as they can to be able to get to bold home before
    1:35:40
    the sun goes down they cannot go faster than i go with my
    1:35:46
    super settle not when as long as you stick together but if you leave the road to go into the villages
    1:35:52
    and such to ask around of course
    1:35:58
    we have two weeks here once we get here there’s a lot of time for you for us to go to places and explore it is
    1:36:04
    now is that time to get haste for the ritual if you don’t mind but can you guys after that
    1:36:11
    so there’s basically this big valet uh that that leads west from swenston and
    1:36:17
    then you get into the hills and and you can see the tops of the high
    1:36:24
    hills here and then there’s bolt home and before bolt home there’s a final valley and this is for
    1:36:31
    Garan and a disk as good star rights this is the killard valley
    1:36:37
    it’s uh it’s it’s it’s a sacred valley to the sardourites and it’s right below uh bald home and
    1:36:44
    boldhome is hundreds of meters above this valley there’s basically a a
    1:36:52
    cliff wall that that rises above it so i’m gonna stop sharing there’s a cliff wall
    1:37:00
    um and up above there’s a high mountain valley where
    1:37:05
    bolt home is and there’s the there is a switchback road part of this uh royal road switches
    1:37:13
    back and forth up this cliff wall until it gets to to bolt home and for those of you all who
    1:37:21
    are sargerates i’d like you to roll against your loyalty to sartar to to see whether you you know that the
    1:37:29
    mystic chords of memory um are playing because this is basically
    1:37:34
    the symbol of sartar 96 today yeah i have a loyalty to stardom
    1:37:43
    okay i succeed barely 53 over 60.
    1:37:48
    Garan you’re started right
    1:37:54
    n muted and muted 24 all good all right ness and karen
    1:38:03
    you guys get a little misty-eyed or might be getting a little misty out here it’s in the store
    1:38:09
    exactly it’s storm season there’s snow in the quiven mountains uh
    1:38:16
    this is you’re traveling through the killard uh vale and working your way
    1:38:23
    up the the the mountain path that leads up to bolt home
    1:38:30
    and you will be able to get into bolt home and you move you’re definitely out of
    1:38:37
    the planes this is that you’re in the mountains the mountain air the winds the snow
    1:38:45
    uh trees and farms and
    1:38:52
    work your way up until you get to the gates of boldhome itself and this is i think
    1:38:59
    where i would like to stop for this evening because next session will get us into bold home
    1:39:05
    um and i think that’s a a better place to start is going into it
    1:39:12
    and making your your um uh interesting there getting your grand
    1:39:19
    errands with your banner and Kulbrasts yelling out who you guys are and whatnot
    1:39:25
    but uh for the for Nisk and Garan how are you guys
    1:39:32
    feeling the returning to sartar and you’ve never been to a free bolt home have you i’ve
    1:39:39
    never been to bolt home i was three when i left yeah so i don’t know what it’s like maybe i feel
    1:39:46
    something special and maybe it’s all the ideas and concepts that my um
    1:39:52
    my parents gave in to me before they oh there’s songs about this valley yeah yeah so so i think that’s a lot of
    1:39:59
    it is i spent a lot of time in joe’s listening to these guys sing about places that i had no idea what they
    1:40:04
    looked like and now i actually see them it’s like probably americans returning to ireland or something
    1:40:09
    yeah exactly except more snow yeah let’s go retreat or canadians
    1:40:14
    returning to scotland how’s that there you go exactly exactly but i think this is a
    1:40:20
    good point to wrap up great session everybody and for everybody watching we
    1:40:25
