death to those i mean if you think about it keeping me alive
0:05
will allow me to inflict death on more people there is a utilitarian there’s a kind of
0:12
envelope that’s life dead life there’s life
0:19
there’s like god well Garan Garan does live to kill but he’s dead
0:28
[Music]0:35
greetings everyone and welcome to another episode of the Chaosium house Runequest campaign
0:42
i’m Jeff Richard and i will be your gm and we’re just going to dive right back
0:48
into it again we are in the the characters if you remember from the last session
0:53
you are in the royal palace of Boldhome having given
1:01
prince Kallyr Starbrow which you guys never liked to stay the title for
1:06
um but you’ve given Kallyr Starbrow uh the news that there are
1:13
uh there is a lunar army marching south towards uh Sartar and it could be here
1:22
in what do we say eight days from from now 10 days i think it’s i think it’s
1:27
nine days it was 11 days when we set off okay so eight or uh later
1:32
eight or nine days yeah basically not long
1:38
and the other thing if you remember is is the prince uh um
1:45
made you agree that you would accompany her as part of her companions
1:54
and i think that’s pretty much where we we stopped it
1:59
so um some some basically logistical things that because you will be part of the
2:07
the companions of the prince it is she arranges or more precisely somebody
2:14
in her household arranges for there to be a charioteers
2:20
available for you and the arlantha used chariots
2:25
uh [Music] as well as horses or or other mounts in combat and and in glorantha chariots
2:32
have a tremendous advantage over chariot that’s in the ancient world
2:38
and that is it is that under the rune quest rules it provides a stable platform for spell casting
2:46
so unlike with a horse where when you’re riding your mount and you want to cast a
2:51
big active spell you’ve got to roll against your ride you you have a whole lot of things you
2:58
have to to deal with because you’re bouncing around on a horse on a chair
3:04
you don’t have to worry about that you’re into the chariot’s ability your magic is
3:10
not constrained etc and so uh chariots are
3:16
are actually tremendously tactically useful they’re also extremely expensive to
3:23
maintain because in order to have a chariot uh a chiria team you first have to have
3:28
somebody who is a charioteer which is a a high status occupation
3:36
uh which requires a lot of skill and you need to be able to to maintain enough
3:41
horses to pull the chariots and then the chariot itself isn’t cheap so basically
3:47
you know having a chariot is a sign of being part of the the uh
3:52
martial aristocracy it’s it’s it’s not something that ordinary farmers or herders could ever hope to do but she’s
4:00
she makes a couple of chariots available for you all and it sounds like
4:07
of the trigger tears that are uh that are there uh there is bellis and darbast
4:14
who are your charioteers does that sound right from the the the
4:20
slack discussion yep and we agreed that um Enkala would you stay on her um
4:26
on her mount yes so bellas
4:31
she is an initiate of Mastakos and Vinga adventurous
4:37
she is small fast and enthusiastic her runes and and and uh someone should jot
4:44
these down her runes are movement air and life she is from swenston
4:50
she is a good charioteer with a but now now comes the moment of um
5:01
let’s find out what good actually means in this context
5:07

190. wouldn’t that be awesome no what that’s
     5:14
     a note to myself of how many how many dicederol now one of the great
     5:19
     things about all brp systems is you can basically roll uh
     5:26
     you know any anything from one to 20 and then you multiply it by five and you
     5:32
     have percentile dice so in this case
     5:38
     yeah it’s not bad 9 13 16. she has a
     5:44
     chariot skill it is actually quite good she has a chariot skill
     5:49
     of 90 wow so write that down got it
     5:56
     she’s also got a dex of 18.
     6:02
     so basically she’s this this um i i think she’s got a size of of
     6:10
     probably ten nine or ten so she’s quite small is she is she smaller than Gina or
     6:16
     inkhala i have a size 10.
     6:21
     nicole is gay pretty big i think
     6:27
     how big are you in collar can’t hear you and caller
     6:34
     hear me now yeah we hear you now okay good um no i’m at a size 13 so i’m not that
     6:41
     small okay well she is about she’s size nine or ten the
     6:48
     other person the other person is a charioteer
     6:55
     named darbast he is an initiate he is also an initiate
     7:01
     of masticos he is a a dexterous
     7:07
     and lean guy uh and very cynical with a a dark sense of humor even though
     7:16
     his runes are movement water and truth he is from the uh kinsena tribe just to
     7:23
     the north of bolt home he’s also a good charioteer and let’s find out what that
     7:29
     means
     7:35
     he has a chariot skill of 75
     7:41
     which is also good it’s perfectly reasonable and he is very loyal
     7:47
     to his chariot team so um and has a loyalty of 75
     7:56
     to basically whatever band he is assigned to
     8:06
     so you guys tell me is that we’re gonna work for you all i think so
     8:14
     so an Orlanthi chariot just to let you know is a three person chariot
     8:20
     you have a chariot here you have a and then you have two people
     8:26
     on uh the chariot the most typical thing is is you have on there a bodyguard and
     8:34
     then you have you know what whoever is the noble there but it’s basically it’s two people and
     8:41
     the way that they fight with uh chariots is you take the chariot you get as clo
     8:47
     you get close to the other side and either you uh throw weapons at it cast spells at
     8:53
     your enemy or if you want to be really reckless and in tough you charge in and
     9:00
     you you you know you treat it just like horses with them you know trying to go in and
     9:08
     and smash into whoever the foe is but uh it’s a big deal to have a uh to have
     9:14
     chariots and it’s pretty normal in the entourage of the prince for a fair number of the people around the
     9:21
     prince to be riding on on chariots
     9:28
     other than that it’s going to take about two days
     9:33
     for the prince to be able to muster up a
     9:39
     um enough local warriors and soldiers and gather supplies and make arrangements to
     9:47
     be able to march on uh johnstown so today um not johnstown well initially
     9:54
     has to march on johnstown oh and then yes it’s gonna take one two
     10:01
     three days to get from here to roongate
     10:08
     i assume she’s so i was saying he’s going to you sent out like uh the black arrows or whatever
     10:13
     yeah she’s sending out messengers and whatnot to the various tribal kings to muster
     10:19
     but uh it’s going to take five day it is going to take two full days to muster
     10:25
     muster things and you know you could she’s got to arrange supply or have people arrange supplies have people uh
     10:34
     gather everything figure out who’s here uh you know that’s actually really quick
     10:40
     mustering but what it means is you have two full days in bold home
     10:45
     before you have to march and you’re expected to march as part of
     10:51
     uh keller’s band or keller’s uh keller’s company
     11:01
     so with that i’m letting it letting you go it’s it’s uh god’s day of fertility week
     11:07
     and uh probably uh an hour or so before dawn
     11:13
     on clay day of stasis week you all will march so that gives you two whole days to do
     11:20
     whatever it is that you need to do 48 hours
     11:25
     which are those days the next two what are they always remember uh the days will be freeze day
     11:32
     of stasis week and water day of stasis week no
     11:38
     that does not include any of your significant high holy days i know or even holy days
     11:43
     or even holy days but it is possible to lead a worship ceremony
     11:49
     anyways with enough um enough
     11:54
     sacrifice and would it be possible if i do this on water day to augment with the
     12:00
     water rune Orlanth does not give a damn about water
     12:05
     yeah but maybe one of the others too if you have a room your problem is your real points are for Orlanth
     12:12
     okay but you know you can go for heller or something so it sounds like we do need to i mean
     12:19
     probably the most important things to me are to do a rituals if we can to try and
     12:24
     get spells back if that’s possible a um b is to try and gather up make sure
     12:30
     that all our people who stayed here from before i think of like tall in that get them to come with us
     12:36
     yes because they’re all mounted so they can all travel with the entourage and even if they’re not you know main combatants
     12:42
     they can support in whatever way we need um Garan are you okay going with with
     12:48
     Gina on a chariot yeah fine i don’t the only thing was uh the chariot of death
     12:55
     he’s got the death i think the guy is a death does he have to death he’s got the crew through not the death room even given i’m your
     13:01
     bodyguard i wonder if i’ll be coming with you well the the issue is if you come with me which is fine
     13:07
     um i would love to have you my concern would be that then we’re basically having the chariot of war and then the
     13:12
     chariot of of range and we could do that as well but um Garan will go where he is well one of
     13:20
     them if you do not want to go with me and the chariot of death i find i’m pretty sure orgo can run a chariot Gina
     13:27
     my friend in death there is nothing i would rather do than travel with you and
     13:33
     bring death to those who deserve it however i have taken an oath
     13:38
     to Nisk and i would be remiss if i did not say it to him right it is for him to refuse my
     13:45
     services as a bodyguard in this instance not for me to withdraw them
     13:50
     i’m not refusing your services i’m saying that for the betterment of the group uh of the the team that it would be good
     13:57
     to have to have a good sword and shield on both chariots that’s the way i look at this
     14:04
     then i show nothing against Kulbrast’s abilities but i think though
     14:11
     he’s not been fortunate with the shield sword that he’s he’s gotten yet unless you wish to be that
     14:16
     and um colbreast but karen you’re not you’re not expecting some some of this stupid age
     14:24
     stuff from me do you i mean if they
     14:29
     it may come to pass that in order to bring death to those
     14:35
     i mean if you think about it keeping me alive will allow me to inflict death on more
     14:40
     people
     14:50
     dead life there’s life there’s like god well Garan karen does live
     14:56
     to kill but he’s dead but he brings you people to like the
     15:01
     rituals over he is the lion he’s not on the wall he’s only he’s the light
     15:07
     [Music] i have a headache i am having a headache i have to sort that out
     15:14
     you can refuse you can go pull brush that’s fine too if Kulbrast is willing to go with you be the range chariot if
     15:20
     that’s fine too yeah well the range can be very short
     15:29
     i like bed hundreds don’t forget i i do now have a automatic killing javelin
     15:40
     i can use my shields which i’m actually really good at using i just couldn’t use it
     15:47
     ever since that fateful night uh outside of argraft’s hazier tent
     15:55
     so um so yeah i’ll be fine okay anyone who’s on the chariot with me
     16:01
     will be fine actually uh darren i like to visit on the chariot of death but if
     16:07
     you expect any healing from me i go with cobras
     16:12
     because i can heal myself so that’s not a problem he will not bring he has his shield he
     16:18
     will not bring me in this conflict of interest well i think in that in which case if if
     16:25
     colgath can steal himself and protect himself then then i should i should go with Nisk
     16:31
     but but keep your trousers on covers it depends certain magic you have
     16:39
     depends a bit on not having that trousers yeah but but close to me it will shrivel
     16:48
     that’s a [Laughter]16:58
     and i would like to point out to everybody ladies and gentlemen that runequest is intended of course for a
     17:05
     for a uh adult and ascertaining audience here
     17:11
     i’m sorry i i took i i i i took my fertility only on five percent
     17:17
     but i have harmony on 85. and that’s on 95. so
     17:24
     so so it sounds like you know the the the various cheerio
     17:30
     tiers darmast’s basic approach to cobras to Gina since it sounds like he is your
     17:38
     chariot tier can we change charities no i want the aggressive one you want
     17:44
     the reckless charge into battle yeah that’s that’s the that’s what i want
     17:50
     yeah that’s the one i want that’s we we have to have her because she’s she’s perfect
     17:57
     and she’s better at charioteering let’s be honest i mean she’s reckless i like that i’m also
     18:02
     reckless so mine yeah she no it’s very you know composed and thoughtful and oh
     18:10
     no no dartmouth we’re all gonna die aren’t we yes yes
     18:17
     you’ve got a kindred spirit like i don’t want two people on my
     18:22
     chariot hoping we’ll all die no no he’s not hoping we’re all gonna die okay he’s
     18:27
     he’s like there is a there was an american uh animated series from the
     18:33
     the 1970s from from hannah barbera or something and it had one
     18:39
     character and his line was we’ll never make it
     18:44
     we’re all doomed we’re gonna die and you know darmas whole bit is great
     18:51
     so i’m gonna be carrying around with the one armed guy and the death priestess
     18:59
     and his main question for Gina is so you’re you’re like a tychora tech priestess right
     19:05
     holy woman so can you like kill people with like tychoric texts
     19:12
     baleful glaze or something like that no but i can make them stay dead
     19:21
     might be very useful actually because we’re apparently going up by the delecty mark
     19:27
     if i can get a few more rune points and and your axe there is do you know
     19:33
     how to use it yes it’s a toothpick but you do do not want to screw with me
     19:41
     i dance you into the ground oh dear
     19:46
     all right now you’re on a chariot and then dharma other bit is okay well
     19:52
     she’s kind of useless but oh i kick him into his balls when he says it
     19:57
     he doesn’t say anything i’m just giving an impression going on i told you for 25
     20:03
     i can make this happen i drew the i definitely drew this short
     20:10
     magical magically powerful one whoa whoa whoa you said he’s loyal so he’s very lucky to hear anything about
     20:16
     this he’s gonna do everything he can to make sure you all and him
     20:23
     survive the battle yeah good so how how can i get a few room points back
     20:31
     well i mean i am preparing a whole army to die rituals that’s what we’re here
     20:36
     for we’re going to do this each of us or whatever groups is are we going to do rituals and sacrifices at temples to try
     20:42
     and get a chance and went to lead worship for worship [Music] so freeze day is associated with
     20:49
     darkness and i’m willing to say now you guys gonna have to make
     20:55
     i have darkness on 41. you don’t actually have any of you all
     21:01
     significant holy days during this but and one of the things is with a big
     21:06
     enough sacrifice and as long as you’re willing to accept a minus um on your rolls you can always offer
     21:16
     sacrifice to your gods so it’s basically how big of a sacrifice
     21:22
     and how much uh ritual preparation do you want to make on this
     21:28
     and so for for in looking at this on replenishing room points
     21:34
     the key things that you all can do you can obviously augment with dancing or
     21:39
     whatever um you can dump pretty much will all of your magic points
     21:45
     into the ceremony to try to get your chance up so if you look into the rules initiates
     21:52
     and rune masters must always sacrifice at least two magic points during a worship
     21:58
     ceremony to their deity for each additional magic point sacrifice do you get a plus ten percent bonus on your
     22:05
     worship skill uh during the ritual magic point sacrifice regenerate
     22:11
     normally and then the bigger your sacrifice is the bigger a bonus you’re gonna get
     22:17
     i’m gonna give you a giant negative on your worship to begin with because
     22:24
     none of you guys are sacrificing on this is not the normal day it’s an impromptu
     22:29
     ceremony et cetera you’ve got but you’re gonna have the advantage that
     22:35
     you’re gonna be at temples uh which is going to give you a bonus and
     22:42
     you can uh augment it and you can sacrifice valuable stuff and load it with magic
     22:48
     points so question i i got the irony of cult now
     22:56
     and i haven’t really worshipped in that do i start just off with the base five plus five
     23:02
     um fantastic okay you can’t get your room points back from her oh you can because
     23:08
     yours are with her aren’t they oh yeah [Music] what cult
     23:14
     remember it’s the you might start out at 20 but you could spend first off
     23:20
     a big sacrifice so looking at this a living sacrifice if you sacrifice a cow
     23:26
     a horse 500 liters of wine or beer etc that’s
     23:32
     worth a plus 20 percent if you throw valuable objects
     23:40
     worth roughly uh in the range of 300 lunars of goods
     23:46
     that’s worth another plus 20 you can do less than that of course
     23:52
     you’ve got a temple to hurt that’s worth another plus 2 uh 10
     23:57
     and you can augment so you you know you should be able to get a
     24:02
     plus 70 to this yeah how how much is about
     24:07
     us you give us i’m gonna give you guys a minus 20. okay that’s not the
     24:12
     big of a deal i’m starting to wonder if maybe i made a
     24:18
     big mistake with because i got the webbing but i didn’t really get the rune points at that point did you sacrifice
     24:24
     the point of power yeah well that’s but it’s helped to drive it yeah but that’s that was my initiation
     24:30
     wasn’t it that’s it no you still get an initial spell for that automatically so i i get a room point for that yep
     24:38
     only for that cult that’s the thing you can not use room points across cults
     24:47
     yeah but then i bust the whole thing because webb is two point rune spell
     24:52
     then clearly you sacrificed one more point of power than you thought you had god damn [Laughter]24:59
     your power gain rule is going to be a pretty good chance you’re what you’re going to go up yeah but i keep rolling the 90. jeff is like how can you roll
     25:06
     this bad and i do you’re such a pity when it comes to these things i’m
     25:13
     sorry to say that you’re a little bit of a power guy why do you want to battle ghosts
     25:19
     sorry my character has to mock her a little bit yeah yeah please do please because
     25:25
     this gives me maybe some extra points while you guys think and and and start narrating the
     25:31
     sacrifices and offerings that you’re going to give before going off to war i’m going to get myself another beer i
     25:38
     want to get a beer too so if you just pause it for a moment if we want this is to Orlanth okay we’re
     25:44
     back all right so there are sacrifices to the gods uh and
     25:51
     goddesses of war going on in Boldhome as the army musters there are sacrifices to Orlanth
     25:59
     adventurists and and the thunderer uh tavinga to humach to babiester gore
     26:08
     to a storm ball there’s even sacrifices to
     26:13
     um tychora tech the goddess of the dead uh you know there
     26:19
     this this is what happens because they’re the the city is preparing to go to war the mercenary bands are all
     26:26
     mustering and and gathering up and offering sacrifices so i’m gonna you
     26:33
     guys tell me how big of a sacrifice to your making
     26:40
     and um uh in order to boost your worship role
     26:45
     whether you’re augmenting it with dancing or singing and how many magic points you’re
     26:51
     throwing in and i suspect what you’re going to do is you’re going to throw a lot of magic
     26:56
     points to make sure it’s an auto success does that sound right
     27:02
     sounds pretty much like yeah i told you last time that i actually
     27:08
     would suggest to people to bring their funeral stuff with him
     27:14
     okay i’ll take one of your funeral bags thank you
     27:21
     why don’t we just roll through and roll through everybody’s worship and i’m just gonna
     27:28
     i’m i’m gonna give a maximum of adding because i don’t want you guys can we can
     27:34
     work it out backwards but i’m assuming all of you all without trying
     27:41
     are able to get a plus after i knock it off 20
     27:46
     percent you can get a plus 50 from all your preparations
     27:54
     right that’s a net so plus 50 plus any augment
     28:02
     so um so try and augment and then roll your worship yep and add fifty percent to your chance
     28:09
     okay so i’ll call it 12. a 12 chance or is that what you rolled
     28:15
     no no that’s my role okay we’ll start with you it sounds like
     28:20
     you got a special success so with that
     28:27
     uh [Music]28:43
     it is a special success so you get up to
     28:53
     1d6 and add one rune points back
     28:59
     well i only need to regain one so i’ve got automatic don’t bother rolling
     29:04
     yep wunderbar how about you cobras
     29:10
     um i successfully augmented with my air room all right so you’re adding
     29:17
     seven and i roll it i roll this six is that a critical
     29:23
     probably what’s your worst i mean it’s 96 uh well i i get up to 96
     29:29
     um with with the augments and my worship was 27 so 76 plus the augment
     29:37
     so it’s a special so roll one d6 plus one yeah i i only can get two points back anyway so i
     29:44
     don’t need to roll so you don’t need to roll nope let’s go to you Gina
     29:50
     okay i augment this a nice tuner thing a nice funeral thing and i succeed with
     29:57
     my augment regular succeed success so i’d say this is a nice
     30:03
     funeral thing and yes you know a song oh a song i i’m sorry i thought
     30:08
     something whiny wherever it scrolls up your neck and squeezy sounds whatever
     30:15
     something like that so people are in tears now yeah
     30:22
     [Music] immoralized exactly something some some some ghosts are
     30:29
     fading away dying so all right let’s let’s hear your chance of success so 50
     30:34
     how much do i get with my augment 20 20 so i’m then on and minus 20 so plus 21
     30:42
     uh and add 50 no no Claudia 50 or 110 sort of counted that right just add 50.
     30:48
     because i yeah you guys are are doing everything else i have a basic
     30:55
     skill of 60. so you’ve got 100 they have 130
     31:03
     i rolled a 14. that is a spiritual 1d6 plus 1.
     31:08
     i need it i roll this three so this means four
     31:14
     points back so i’m full again yeah okay Enkala are you going to a rania or
     31:23
     storm bowl i’ve only spent aronia points so i can only go to the area so i have a good
     31:28
     little trek on the way um but yeah
     31:33
     i’m augmenting with my special spider dance and i’m adding uh i have my
     31:39
     my necklaces beaded deckless as i add some sound because they make like nice wooden clackety-clack sounds which
     31:47
     goods i think the priestess will appreciate that in the darkness black and black
     31:52
     like it like and i wrote a special on my augment role 1d6 plus one well that’s what’s the
     31:58
     augmented role i was sorry so plus 30. yeah so i’m at 80 and uh i also spend
     32:04
     two magic points so i get to the no no no i’m i’m factoring that all in i’m i i
     32:10
     don’t want us to spend 20 minutes everybody figuring out how to get there i’m eight i’m at eighty percent
     32:16
     i could actually fail this [Music] but i don’t but it’s uh yay i didn’t
     32:23
     fail that role 26 at 186. five but i only had two so
     32:30
     brilliant okay so now tuNisk i wasted a crit right so it’s rather relevant you
     32:36
     critted yeah but it doesn’t matter if you wasted it you totally wasted it
     32:42
     man yeah because my worship is 93 before you add anything onto it
     32:47
     and and so you’re now full of hero point rune points yeah total fanatic i mean 94.
     32:54
     all right but that but that’s the 90s
     32:59
     two days in order to get all these bonuses you spent two full days
     33:06
     basically spending the whole time in the temples uh purifying yourself for putting ash on it
     33:14
     dancing singing so we are now to
     33:22
     uh ready to leave bold home okay oh
     33:28
     was one little little thing what about the ducks people you did not you don’t have a chance to
     33:34
     time to do that if you guys do nothing yeah i you know if if you guys you you guys
     33:42
     have got uh your rune points back even though there wasn’t really a whole yeah i know
     33:48
     yeah yeah and and and again when what my take on this is
     33:54
     is you can always spend a lot of time
     34:00
     and get stuff back the only downside of it is is there’s nothing else you all y’all can do except
     34:06
     for you know meditate the temple you know you’ve got this few days it
     34:13
     doesn’t seem you know this is the this is the appropriate choice
     34:18
     yeah and for me it’s very important to bring enough oil
     34:27
     how much is enough i mean the chariot isn’t that big well that’s the other question i have is
     34:34
     so let’s define your band because this is going to matter a lot
     34:40
     now in runequest in battle the the smallest unit we deal with
     34:47
     is what we’re calling a band we could call it a file we could call it um 10 uh
     34:56
     you know if we wanted to be all latin and classical about it we would call it um 10 or 10 men or 10 soldiers or
     35:04
     whatever but for convenience sake we just call it the band
     35:10
     and a band is somewhere between 8 and 12 warriors
     35:16
     and well if you can imagine where it fits in a a
     35:22
     battle if you guys were all on foot this would be a file
     35:28
     in a phalanx you’d have somebody in the front and everybody would just line up
     35:33
     behind um you all are mounted so what you are essentially is it’s the
     35:40
     same deal it’s a squad it’s a line in one of these big cavalry
     35:45
     formations it’s about in your case it’s
     35:52
     you know you have five player characters but you have another two three
     35:59
     five warriors in your group so it’s it’s it’s basically enough that
     36:06
     you you would make one little line in whatever type of
     36:13
     of formation that you fight in because you’re on uh you know you you guys are
     36:18
     a combination of chariot and a horse you’re all part of a mounted
     36:24
     formation now there are key things about your band
     36:30
     your particular band is held together by what is called a guiding passion
     36:36
     and a guiding passion of the rules are what is it that keeps your group
     36:41
     fighting like a team and that has to be a passion
     36:46
     that all of the characters share and and Claudia before you say that you don’t share this passion you do share this
     36:53
     passion kid is up give me a second
     36:58
     my three-year-old
     37:04
     all right we’re back uh characters already dividing loot from uh the previous session
     37:12
     uh and so why don’t you guys divide your loot right now there is a pectoral
     37:18
     uh which adds 10 magic points we have at least one character that cannot wear any
     37:24
     chest or abdomen armor in any case and i think she’s she’s begging
     37:31
     to be able to use the pectoral that would be okay
     37:37
     i mean sort of i’m not gonna use it that’s true because you have you actually have good armor don’t you i do
     37:46
     so that kind of comes on top of armor or well it shouldn’t be on top of armor or why don’t wear armor no i don’t
     37:53
     i can’t because it’s a giant it’s a giant solid necklace
     38:00
     i can’t imagine it would be comfy to wear over a bronze kiras
     38:07
     and they probably had get all hacked up or something silly the other one we had was a matrix of
     38:13
     earrings if you wear both of them you get second sight which lets you see spirits
     38:19
     this it so has Gina’s name on it but it but but you got to spend magic points to get it
     38:25
     again so it’s the same if you’ve already got this okay not as important so from
     38:31
     i don’t know i mean i have i have second side
     38:37
     uh three so yeah i don’t know also magic points so maybe it’s for somebody else
     38:44
     i think it also had the fertility rune on them Gina that’s not good
     38:50
     okay but i don’t want to get something it’s got the fertility room
     38:55
     yeah maybe five so sorry i mean you know it it sounds very useful
     39:03
     obviously why don’t you keep it you can put you’re a piranha
     39:08
     i am a pirate i can wear anything come on yes of course i mean you have still two years so it’s
     39:14
     fine i mean you know the thing is i’ve always wondered ah when could i you know engage
     39:20
     in some spirit combat which i’m actually quite proficient at but i just don’t see the damage this would be really really
     39:27
     useful perfect for looking at spirits if we get um
     39:32
     in combat and they’re whirling about we don’t know what to do all right so cobras just taking the earrings yep
     39:40
     there we are okay so um caller’s army will march
     39:48
     north um towards uh johnstown on the on
     39:53
     the royal road and it takes about a day to get to johnstown and and
     39:59
     you know your your group of you’ve got um
     40:05
     how many people are in your um i think olga was coming so i would
     40:12
     say 11. orgaro is not actually going to be part of the band the band is 10.
     40:19
     how you call them in english followers the cam us exactly he is following with
     40:24
     my tent and my brush and my hair oil and my makeup
     40:31
     and all that interestingly phil char is likely also a camp
     40:37
     yeah well you don’t really want him besides in the battle to be honest
     40:44
     no no all right so let’s kind of walk through what your band is
     40:50
     so your band is the 10 the 10 warriors of your group
     40:56
     nine warriors or nine warriors nine warriors plus uh Gina or
     41:01
     i counting Gina in that so there there’s there there’s nine there so eight warriors plus Gina
     41:07
     okay um and and going into this so the basic unit in any
     41:15
     Garanthon army is a band a unit of six to ten six to twelve warriors or
     41:20
     soldiers that share supplies does this sound right
     41:26
     march together and fight together they are often linked by ties of king kinship
     41:31
     or other strong loyalty now all the adventurers belong
     41:37
     to your band because otherwise why would you be together in a group
     41:44
     and the band leader sometimes called a ten man or a four
     41:49
     fighter makes tactical decisions for the whole group who is your band leader
     41:56
     it’s pretty clear who it is but i just want everybody to say who it is Nisk
     42:03
     yeah Nisk is clearly the band leader in this group not Garan
     42:10
     no Niskas Nisk’s the leader all right and so the role of the leader
     42:16
     on this is you’re the one who basically says where to charge and where to go and
     42:23
     and and what to do on this and and this isn’t like an officer this is more
     42:30
     like you know he’s like the sergeant in this if you can kind of imagine that
     42:36
     comparison multiple bands are then all linked
     42:42
     together in larger units um and and these larger units might be linked
     42:49
     together to form regiments and whatnot but at the end of the day the ones that you all are are fighting
     42:57
     with marching with and eating with our each other and your guy everybody
     43:04
     has every band has a guiding passion and this is this is the the mutual passion
     43:10
     that motivates everybody to be willing to to do this you know to march together to
     43:18
     eat together to fight together now in most bands
     43:24
     it’s it’s arranged on lines of kinship so the most common would be
     43:30
     loyalty to the same clan or loyalty to the same tribe
     43:36
     but that’s not your band your band is it um only two of you
     43:43
     belong to the same clan or tribe and the rest of you all are
     43:48
     [Music] all over the place so the one passion that every one of
     43:56
     your characters has in common is loyalty to Argrath white ball so either to our
     44:03
     graph or to white bowl how what what you know whatever identity you have on it
     44:08
     and i have worked out what the average it is for your whole group and it comes out to
     44:14
     191 that’s a really good number
     44:20
     you all you all have several completely fanatical characters
     44:27
     um in terms of their loyalty to to uh
     44:32
     the uh to the white bull now the guiding passion is independent of any of your characters
     44:40
     all right so when we talk about um the guiding passion skill that’s not
     44:45
     your character rolling the the passion that’s the number for the unit itself and i want because Niska is
     44:53
     the um band leader he gets to be stuck with the paperwork for the band
     45:00
     and needs to write down that the guiding passion for the band is 75
     45:05
     now in battle that guiding passion is is
     45:11
     basically that that’s your unit’s morale and as you do things in battle it’s gonna go
     45:19
     down a lot if you try to fight um or take certain
     45:25
     types of actions in the battle collectively you’re gonna spend your guiding passion
     45:31
     to do it and when your guiding passion goes down
     45:36
     beyond a certain uh beyond a certain point you’re going to want to go back and not be in the
     45:42
     front line and have your group stop what it’s doing
     45:48
     for a while and we’ll walk this through as we get closer to the battle but basically the fact that you have a
     45:54
     really good uh strong guiding passion means you’re able to do a lot in a battle
     46:02
     and the the once in battle the way
     46:07
     things basically work is there’ll be a a top level battle is organized into a
     46:14
     number of terms based on the size of the battle and a turn
     46:20
     is an abstract period of time but but you know
     46:26
     for game rules we consider it to be about 15 minutes it’s about the amount of time that it uh
     46:33
     so your rune spell will last the whole turn but in terms of combat rounds it may only be one combat round
     46:40
     two combat rounds three combat rounds we’re dealing with kind of an abstract thing
     46:47
     and for each battle turn you as a group are going to kind of
     46:53
     decide what you do it whether you all
     46:58
     are active in the battle whether you are at the rear of your lines trying to
     47:04
     recover um or whether you’re trying to whether you’re able to select an
     47:10
     encounter or a an opportunity and again it’ll all make more sense in a
     47:16
     moment uh in a moment but basically the the big picture of it is is that
     47:22
     to do anything in terms of of what your group does
     47:28
     in the battle the most important skill is battle and so this is this this gets a little
     47:35
     bit interesting here what is miss battle and what is coal breasts battle
     47:44
     well all in all it’s 95. so cobras is what mine is certainly not
     47:52
     that mine is 69. so now there’s a an argument to be said
     47:57
     that actually Nisk should let himself be a figurehead
     48:03
     and act and actually let cool breasts to make the all the actual decisions as to what goes on in
     48:10
     the battle perfectly fine with that yes that’s pretty sure
     48:17
     we always did it or i’m the you know we have we have the sword which is we have
     48:22
     a shield we have the you know he could be the brains on the beauty i mean it’s easy
     48:28
     good leadership delegating the right people he brings without
     48:46
     is the band leader you’re the one who actually makes all
     48:52
     the tactical decisions in the group
     48:58
     see that’s why i’m on your chariot you can heal him frozen wisely
     49:03
     no i cannot heal him i can heal sir no problem see see that’s why i’m on his chariot so
     49:11
     you want to be here with this i’m i’m going to have us continue marching
     49:16
     within the um uh have the army continue to march
     49:24
     but if you have any questions about how your file works you all ride together
     49:30
     you eat together you sleep together and you’re expected to fight together
     49:37
     and Kulbrast knows what to do with a 95 battle
     49:44
     you absolutely know you you’ve done this all before yeah many many many many times
     49:52
     and actually you know it feels almost like home again so i would be surprised if this is the
     49:58
     most you know cobra the most comfortable Kulbrast has felt in a long time
     50:04
     yeah certainly i mean there’s still not much water around but at least you know sort
     50:11
     yeah of app and flow of battle is a good substitute
     50:16
     well the ebb and flow of battle is something that you are very this is something you are extremely comfortable
     50:23
     with you know where to place people in the battle you know how to move around a battlefield you know
     50:28
     you have a feel for tactics uh does anybody else have a battle even
     50:34
     above 60 yeah i do my battle is 70 odd i think i actually
     50:41
     have a battle of 30. wow you want to stay when you get the body my bustle is exactly this is easy
     50:48
     okay it’s it’s important to know where the battle is still happening and we’re not you know when you deal with the dead
     50:55
     where where’s the best place for corpses that’s the reason i have a battle on 30.
     51:01
     you can’t just stop and ask someone you know on the way
     51:07
     well now the other thing is is the caller’s army consists of
     51:14
     um it consists of about 50 people that are her friends
     51:21
     and you guys are awkwardly uh in that group
     51:27
     no and and and the the group that’s called the
     51:32
     friends is this is the people that are are around color starbrow
     51:39
     um fight in her group and they are generally considered to be the
     51:46
     most overall you know that’s supposed to be the most elite group
     51:53
     in any army because this is the you’re essentially part of the bodyguards of the prince
     51:58
     even if you won’t even call her the prince and have no loyal to loyalty to her whatsoever uh etc but there’s about
     52:06
     50 of the 50 of them there are 200
     52:12
     uh well-equipped foot soldiers um that have had that are equipped by
     52:18
     the the guilds of Boldhome and there they form another group
     52:25
     um all of keller’s friends are mounted um all of the guilds folk are on foot
     52:33
     um also on foot there are about 500 people from
     52:39
     the keldon tribe that is keller’s own tribe another 600 from the kinsena tribe
     52:47
     that’s another allied tribe of kellers and 450
     52:52
     from the uh kobrea tribe and in terms of cavalry
     52:58
     there’s about a hundred light cavalry another 100
     53:04
     heavy cavalry and about 200 mixed cavalry
     53:09
     so um and one of the big questions is hoping that’s a very weak army so far
     53:17
     that’s maybe what about 2200 2300
     53:23
     uh warriors and there is that the the big question will be is whether the Malani tribe and
     53:31
     the kolimar tribe will have mustard
     53:38
     and there’s you know there’s questions uh from the prince of weather
     53:43
     uh for you all because Nisk and Garan are Colymar
     53:50
     of whether the Colymar will muster well we sent word to them
     53:58
     um on the way coming to you about what was going to happen
     54:04
     but we are not Leikaand we cannot make that decision no one can doubt lakers bravery
     54:11
     she says no one can doubt her bravery and on the march i mean the thing about
     54:18
     Kallyr is she also has a hospital skill
     54:23
     she is clearly Kulbrast she is also clearly fought in a lot of battles and
     54:29
     this isn’t her first time uh in this rodeo
     54:34
     i don’t know good to know and it certainly probably changes cobra’s perception of her
     54:43
     uh she is you know it’s clear that most of her
     54:49
     friends i mean first off her group of friends around her is fairly small given that 10
     54:56
     of them are you all uh a lot of them are new
     55:01
     a lot of them are new um and so she’s in the position where she actually has to do a lot of stuff
     55:09
     that you would expect her lieutenants to to be doing for her she doesn’t seem to
     55:15
     have a lot of lieutenants so even though she herself knows what to
     55:20
     do it’s very di she doesn’t have a whole lot of people around her that that are
     55:27
     equally familiar with battle as she is oh oh dear
     55:37
     yeah that’s not good but she also seems to be aware of that
     55:43
     and as a result even though you know she’s not she is not buddy buddy with you all
     55:52
     she probably does not like you all and doesn’t even particularly trusts you all
     55:58
     nonetheless uh she certainly has does not ignore you
     56:05
     all um and does not ignore uh your input and advice
     56:14
     so you know when the the army gets to johnstown you’re camped with her
     56:26
     it’s a bit awkward
     56:32
     and and and and in johnstown she gets news that the Malani queen
     56:38
     has agreed the the queen of the Malani tribe has agreed to raise her army
     56:47
     and will um march to runegate as well
     56:56
     so and and i want you kind of imagine how this this this army is on the march
     57:02
     you know it’s it’s several kilometers long as it marches
     57:07
     even at only a um you know a little bit over 2 000 people
     57:14
     it’s still more than two kilometers long when it marches well there’s supplies
     57:20
     and everything that’s just the warriors right there’s probably camp followers and other groups
     57:25
     there’s all sorts of folk uh and and i just kind of you know you all are you guys get to
     57:32
     uh johnstown on the first day and the second day
     57:38
     brings you from johnstown and has you all marched on to Apple Lane
     57:48
     it actually ends up with um your army of two something thousand people camping
     57:54
     uh setting up camp outside of Apple Lane and has your characters so uh uh Garan
     58:03
     you’re familiar with Apple Lane Apple Lane is the home of the tin
     58:10
     inn it’s got Uleria temple it is this little hamlet
     58:16
     and this top uh the the um
     58:22
     as part of keller’s group you all get to take over Apple Lane
     58:27
     entirely you know there’s a Colymar there’s a
     58:34
     thing from the the the kolimar tribe here um who
     58:39
     is the uh they’re trying to to handle stuff you know she’s in charge
     58:45
     of the the village and making accommodations for callers companions and meanwhile the rest of the
     58:52
     army and the tribes are camping all over the place and setting up tents and whatnot
     58:58
     um let me know if there’s anything in particular your characters want to do or
     59:03
     are you just following around in the in the prince’s company probably want to
     59:09
     find more info about if they call it what they call if there’s any word from Leika that’s certainly something you could ask
     59:14
     the thing okay well the thing yeah the thing will definitely um she’ll you know she
     59:23
     she says that um uh the clans are mustering i was told to
     59:29
     make sure that there is food and supply for the army
     59:37
     um you’re there with caller i mean you two were marked as Colymar but she has no idea who you are
     59:44
     and i she’s from the local thing is from a different clan as you as yours and
     59:52
     you’ve been in exile your whole life so she has no idea who you are kill just killed a dragon
     1:00:01
     oh yeah that has been you’re the dragon so i want you to roll against your reputation
     1:00:07
     okay that’s the 20.
     1:00:12
     so yes roll against your reputation
     1:00:18
     nope 93. roll against your reputation at a minus
     1:00:25
191. what okay
     1:00:30
     well not at -20 now all right the the the local thing
     1:00:37
     uh the local thing who is actually the pre-gen character from room quest uh
     1:00:44
     vasana um who is the thane of Apple Lane is she
     1:00:51
     not Claudia is she still there is she not going on to australia
     1:00:57
     no not at this point so so yanis is also there no not there she’s she’s at the temple
     1:01:05
     uh the the local thing is
     1:01:10
     you know she she says she wants to know that um
     1:01:16
     first off she’s impressed because he killed a dragon that’s a pretty big deal
     1:01:22
     and um but also uh
     1:01:28
     is curious there on what your assessment of the prince
     1:01:34
     of the prince’s forces are and what is your
     1:01:40
     assessment she’s got about 2 100 2 200 combatants with her
     1:01:50
     well i’m not gonna i guess i’m i’m trying to be a little diplomatic here um i’m gonna say that
     1:01:56
     this this is not an army that Argrath would bring no you say oh diplomatically
     1:02:04
     but calorie is doing everything she can to muster to um to face it i think well the local thing is also has
     1:02:12
     the tattoo of the white bull oh there we go i’ll say that i said that
     1:02:18
     we are here because Argrath has us asked us to come to pap com come disarter and we will help because it is
     1:02:24
     everybody’s duty to fight chaos
     1:02:30
     well i’m not going to say it’s you know caller’s skill is in battle however she her resources are not as strong as it
     1:02:37
     would be good but she afflicted that partially on herself
     1:02:44
     and that’s why we’re here to help she asks if you fight for the prince or
     1:02:49
     for the caulibar i fight for Argrath
     1:02:59
     the white bull well i mean she’ll definitely make sure
     1:03:07
     that you all are have accommodations booze and food
     1:03:12
     um she’s a little bit worried about 2 000 people marching through her village
     1:03:25
     [Music] yeah a lot better than 4 000 people
     1:03:30
     plundering it
     1:03:36
     um and the next day it does anybody else have anything else they want to do
     1:03:42
     in appalain i mean Nisk would probably like to spend the evening in the euleria temple if
     1:03:48
     possible there is oh you are okay why not knock off some money
     1:03:53
     okay um well i mean it’s plain so there must be plenty of apples
     1:04:00
     i think what time of the year i’ll go with Nisk yeah
     1:04:06
     where’s the pawn shop guy because that guy use she usually has a lot of fun stuff
     1:04:12
     doesn’t he there’s a reputation no oh we’re after that one okay i’m going
     1:04:19
     into the end and have some epilane beef and some apple cake yeah i’ll join gino
     1:04:26
     for that just to keep in mind Garan uh Nisk and kobras have headed off to
     1:04:32
     the small temple of the goddess of life infertility yeah but Garan is wrong there
     1:04:40
     i think i want to keep my distance i’ve got a reputation to protect even if they
     1:04:46
     you have a risk to protect you are all going to go to the to the end or is it i am as wrong as Garan in that temple
     1:04:54
     where’s Garan also is in color also going to the temple of life
     1:05:00
     i i actually have my death rune i think it’s 75. so i’m also kind of death aspected
     1:05:07
     so no 777 77 we have a good drink in the park in the
     1:05:13
     end these three they have a grim shower drink you know no no it’s not
     1:05:19
     grim because isn’t in that in this weird port
     1:05:25
     the poet in basically giving us telling us said poems
     1:05:31
     oh no the orlanti poems oh my god no meanwhile Nisk and kobras
     1:05:38
     inside this is the goddess of love
     1:05:44
     and not only that but it has a bath it has a steam area
     1:05:52
     it has people that will play they that that will will
     1:05:57
     talk to you and have witty conversations with you um and basically spend the uh as as much
     1:06:05
     as time is as you can to basically remind you that there is a
     1:06:11
     world other than war and death and destruction oh that’s that’s a good relief after all
     1:06:18
     this traveling with with three death people sort of you know
     1:06:25
     well i’m not my death aspect isn’t so much as anti-life it’s just his spirits and stuff you know why
     1:06:33
     here’s the best thing there’s not only witty conversation there’s massages with
     1:06:39
     oil steam baths yeah good wine all fine
     1:06:45
     and some apple cider too i guess absolutely good apple cider good
     1:06:50
     colonies it’s almost almost like the old days where we were pirates following
     1:06:56
     Argrath and and harris pillaging and plundering across uh
     1:07:01
     confidence so eventually these two come out of their spa
     1:07:09
     you know all looking you know totally spot up and and
     1:07:16
     you know down to the hair being clean waste of water and now they don’t smell
     1:07:21
     good anymore exactly actually they smell like flowers yeah
     1:07:27
     which really no and the three of you all have been
     1:07:33
     listening to the sad poetry i think i went up and left because
     1:07:40
     no what is that what are what is it about Orlanthi and these poetry stuff i
     1:07:46
     mean apparently they do it a lot and there’s more of it in starter than there is on prax
     1:07:53
     because yeah i don’t know but they totally dig their poetry it’s so
     1:07:59
     boring the next day the army marches to ontario gate and at
     1:08:07
     runegate that is where uh
     1:08:12
     that is where lika queen of the Colymar have has sho has
     1:08:17
     mustered over a thousand militias
     1:08:22
     it’s also where um amalda the queen of the Malani have
     1:08:28
     has mustered some 700 militia
     1:08:35
     and you bait you end up with a bit where there is a gathering
     1:08:41
     of all of the tribal leaders who have shown up here and there is you’ve got the prince of
     1:08:47
     Sartar um and again who still in their mind absolutely refuses
     1:08:54
     to call caller prince even though everybody else calls her prince
     1:09:02
     there’s no way i’m calling a prince well yeah i i think she’s not she’s not
     1:09:08
     he’s not uh i’m sorry but we i i we’re aren’t we
     1:09:14
     friends so why do we have to call up prince not friends well august told us not to call her prince
     1:09:20
     yeah but that’s the main reason why we don’t call her prince otherwise you know she’s she’s treating she’s treating us
     1:09:26
     as friends so why do we have to use a title friends you know yeah and it doesn’t
     1:09:32
     have enough friend is amongst the orlanti that
     1:09:39
     doesn’t mean buddy friend means folk that when you say
     1:09:45
     somebody is your friend it means that it’s somebody that you have
     1:09:50
     uh reciprocal close obligations to that is not related
     1:09:55
     by uh kinship so friend of the prince is actually that’s an office that’s a
     1:10:03
     title um also in our case it’s a bit of a uh keep your friends close but your enemies
     1:10:09
     closer like a little bit probably
     1:10:15
     so you have a meeting in in runegate and you have a meeting of you have the queen
     1:10:21
     of the Kheldon tribe the so-called prince of Sartar
     1:10:27
     you have the queen of the Cinsina tribe ivartha
     1:10:33
     wolf killer and she’s a uh a tough middleweight
     1:10:39
     woman burly and scarred from uh fighting
     1:10:44
     against the telmori werewolves and she’s shown up with 600 um 600
     1:10:50
     warriors you’ve got um ranoff who
     1:10:56
     interestingly is the only male tribal uh male tribal leader in this assembly
     1:11:02
     ranoff leads the Culbrea tribe and it’s clear that he despises ivartha
     1:11:10
     you’ve got um um malda who is the queen of the Malani she’s the
     1:11:17
     youngest um one of the the leaders present but she is the niece of sarah step cold
     1:11:25
     eye do you remember that guy the great sword lord he’s here
     1:11:30
     one of my heroes and she is also an initiate of whom oct
     1:11:36
     oh you found your love i i i’ve not because i can no not
     1:11:41
     love i know your version of it but you would have you know i’m getting jealous
     1:11:47
     i’m getting close and then you have um
     1:11:52
     a queen LeikaLeikablackspear who is and lake uh
     1:11:58
     laka and Kallyr clearly have no love lost between the two of
     1:12:04
     them and so you have this meeting of
     1:12:10
     of the five tribes there in ringgate and of course you’re
     1:12:16
     allowed to participate and be present here and it is it
     1:12:22
     if you could imagine i i you know the the the male equivalent in
     1:12:30
     the business world is you get all these alpha alpha males um trying to have uh a
     1:12:38
     fight there to figure out the pecking order here this is all alpha females
     1:12:44
     and it basically the fight is between Leika and keller
     1:12:50
     of who is the top dog and
     1:12:56
     it is clear that the two these two women have a long history with each other
     1:13:02
     and dislike each other intensely yeah can i can i do a battle roll to see
     1:13:08
     if this will in any way impede our chances for success
     1:13:18
     yeah that’s a 15 this is special okay if Leika the thing is is leica
     1:13:26
     is providing about a quarter of the people um present here
     1:13:34
     but about three quarters of the people are following um keller
     1:13:40
     either directly or or indirectly and if Leika if a quarter of an army
     1:13:46
     refuses to follow the leader that’s not good that’s not good yeah
     1:13:53
     but it’s also clear they both dislike each other do you tell this to any of your other
     1:13:58
     companions here yeah sure i more or less verb
     1:14:04
     pretty obvious but yes yep if only we had some people in the group
     1:14:10
     with harmony that could help deal with these issues
     1:14:15
     can’t we frighten them can’t you frighten them into working together
     1:14:21
     staging a nightmare dream or something
     1:14:32
     actually sorry sorry sorry i have harmony i have harmony at 85.
     1:14:38
     yeah you know oh brilliant amazing it is like it’s like
     1:14:44
     philip had no idea of that no no
     1:14:49
     i have fertility on five but i have harmony on 85 because of course this is
     1:14:54
     part of the dancing because i have to get the ghost into harmony and settle down and go down
     1:15:01
     and you’ve used it quite a few times so actually i have and she does like the peaceful grave
     1:15:07
     yes so tell me if there’s anything you’re going to try to do
     1:15:12
     to bring harmony here now keep in mind Claudia and i want to just knock something completely out of
     1:15:18
     this tyler starbrow has been to the sky and the underworld
     1:15:25
     yes you’re not going to intimidate her in the slightest michael black spear
     1:15:32
     lake of black sphere did her crown test by going into snake pipe hollow
     1:15:38
     do you think there’s anything you can do that that would intimidate her in the slightest i don’t want to
     1:15:43
     intimidate her okay so so i try actually to to approach it from a lot of logical
     1:15:48
     point of view the it is actually i mean you guys are frenemies
     1:15:56
     so and but there’s actually a bigger enemy for that you have to work
     1:16:04
     together and live or die together in a way so
     1:16:10
     whichever way as long as you uh win this battle
     1:16:17
     everything is good everything is in harmony and
     1:16:23
     so um i know that you actually
     1:16:29
     have experienced a lot
     1:16:35
     and at some point sooner or later you will sit at the table
     1:16:42
     of my goddess feast together drink together or even
     1:16:49
     shout at each other but you will be there so um to to to prepare the past you should
     1:16:57

     is there a reconciled skill i know
     1:18:47
     i have 20 on my rate and my rate is now on 50 and i rolled it 74.
     1:18:53
     right they ignore you okay if if that doesn’t work um i’ll i’ll i’ll try to
     1:19:01
     get to khali in a you know not now obviously when everyone is watching but later on
     1:19:06
     and sort of you know more from a tactical perspective
     1:19:12
     share my thoughts on how how stupid it is to show openly her sort of disdain
     1:19:18
     for makeup and that she should probably do exactly the opposite
     1:19:25
     okay you’re using a social skill tell me what it is no no it’s not the social skill it’s
     1:19:30
     it’s also the battle skill it’s basically just telling her look um if you want this to succeed you have to
     1:19:37
     change your attitude your strength now your strategic approach yeah because it’s better for
     1:19:45
     all your strategic i will accept battle as your as an augment to something okay
     1:19:52
     um let it augment do you have a loyalty to uh Kallyr Starbrow was unaware of
     1:19:59
     no i don’t have a secret loyalty to Kallyr
     1:20:04
     i didn’t think that much i was giving you the chance but no no i don’t pass talk or rate
     1:20:13
     oh just second uh oh god oh okay all right it’s 35.
     1:20:22
     she wasn’t better than i am no yes we now we know why you have this cast to do this stuff yeah exactly
     1:20:30
     um bargain is even worse don’t ask me to deal with the the corpses or anything
     1:20:38
     yeah i have to try with orange i guess all right so first roll your your battle
     1:20:43
     to augment it uh yep normally hey 55
     1:20:49
     chance phillip do it man zero one right
     1:20:54
     yeah 69. nice
     1:21:05
     that uh these two queens dislike each other
     1:21:11
     intensely ah linda may i in some way do the dance of the spiders
     1:21:18
     in order to just let them know how important it is to beat the lunars this time because the web is shattering
     1:21:26
     and to do it in unison all for grandmother spider okay i i so and carla’s grand idea at
     1:21:34
     this point is to have a perfect [Laughter]1:21:45
     now is the point that we do interpretive dance now is the time i tried that before you didn’t let me
     1:21:54
     it was the wrong down so there is another way to talk about this by the way you’re all going about it all wrong
     1:22:00
     i’m gonna let neil keep talking as i i i don’t turn off the don’t turn up the recording you guys plot this out
     1:22:09
     hearts and minds this is about winning the peoples emotionally this is about convincing
     1:22:15
     them that this is the reason you fight for this is the the reason you’re willing to die and you’re willing to go
     1:22:21
     to the table of um go earlier perhaps in taikora tech than you would do otherwise i’d surprise
     1:22:27
     so so you can do you can orate this like in the big speech and Gina and i can
     1:22:33
     dance to emphasize it all right
     1:22:40
     yeah but i mean we can we can dance i can dance with my webbing dancing but i actually have some other augments i’m
     1:22:46
     beginning to be able to use what you don’t want this to dance is that your problem
     1:22:52
     i don’t think it’s the right moment to do the spider dance i think that would be a dark kind of
     1:22:58
     you know yeah but it’s a dark but it is here’s your other thing right do a
     1:23:04
     darkness dance against Kallry scott you know um but but it’s not this is
     1:23:09
     no no it’s not about this person it’s not necessarily a darkest dance spiders
     1:23:15
     spiders are out all day and they’ll die i think she pretty thinks it spikes and arachne solara is often depicted with
     1:23:22
     like flames and like flaming he stole fire yeah i can play my custody if you want
     1:23:30
     to support the clickety class i think we’ll just let Nisk save the day on his
     1:23:35
     own now to do this i’m going to give a couple of gifts
     1:23:40
     yeah i’m going to give the shield that we got the big piece thing shield
     1:23:47
     you’re looking oh so if they have to carry the shield together then they’ll sort of oh
     1:23:53
     oh no oh brilliant all right
     1:24:00
     that would be brilliant all right you see it’s Leika and Kallyr just go so Jeff i think i’m going to try and do an
     1:24:06
     oration and bring them together if i can okay um i would like to use
     1:24:13
     what i’d like to do is um is augment with loyalty Sartar and remember why they are all here and they’re here to
     1:24:20
     forge a nation and that’s more important than than the other pieces he is going
     1:24:25
     to give gifts he will give Kallyr the giant to um the giant iron shields that
     1:24:31
     used to fight the dragon and for Leika he will give a piece a dragon’s tooth
     1:24:37
     and he will admit that if only he is only um he’s only come back to
     1:24:44
     this and it saddens him to see his homeland like this just like as Argrath told him because Argrath was also born
     1:24:50
     in Sartar and raised there and our focus is to put put put aside these differences because the lunars are not
     1:24:57
     fighting this way the units are doing some and and if we let them do that they will win
     1:25:02
     [Music] right so you’re here you’re giving a gift of
     1:25:09
     uh a of what i’m going to give that shield we got
     1:25:14
     the giant one uh-huh to to call her and i’m going to give the dragon tooth to
     1:25:20
     Leika wow these are huge gifts yes they are
     1:25:27
     the point is i’m coming this as the outsider effectively emissary of Argrath to show
     1:25:34
     that how how we need to do this to work together to drive the lunars out they did that’s how it happened before
     1:25:42
     if you’re really giving that much of a gift i’m gonna give you a plus 40 okay to your chance of success
     1:25:50
     well let’s go for my loyalty first which succeeds barely
     1:25:57
     it’s not a so at 60 to your or eight okay
     1:26:02
     a pretty good chance that’s a rule of 90 whatever i can’t fail that’s an 11
     1:26:08
     that is a special success yes it’s not a critical no
     1:26:14
     you don’t have a 200 percent chance wow 60 right
     1:26:19
     i was adding 60 so that’s uh yeah 107 all right
     1:26:25
     um it is a [Music] it is a
     1:26:32
     a remonestration it is it’s actually kind of
     1:26:38
     it it’s kind of insulting to both caller and
     1:26:44
     uh Leika in this you know this is one of these bits where
     1:26:50
     where you know the emperor has no clothes
     1:26:56
     and uh both agree in this
     1:27:01
     um in all this gifts have been given etc both agree
     1:27:07
     um to to bury the hatchet
     1:27:13
     between them and make pledges of friendship and support
     1:27:19
     you know how deep these pledges are
     1:27:25
     is anybody’s question but there is a a bit where where they clearly are that
     1:27:31
     after this make an effort to show that they are on the same team
     1:27:36
     and where um Leika agrees
     1:27:42
     that caller is um the the prince
     1:27:50
     that’s okay it’s ironic because we don’t but
     1:27:58
     yes the other bit of news is is that on the other side
     1:28:07
     of of the uh creek
     1:28:12
     there are lunar scouts have been seen
     1:28:18
     uh lunar horse and so i’m gonna show you a
     1:28:24
     um if the hosts would enable participants
     1:28:30
     why can’t you set that it can’t default to that for a specific call oh address the host but then we’d be waiting for
     1:28:37
     you should be good okay do you see Runegate here
     1:28:50
     lunar scouts have been seen on the north bank of the two sisters these are two
     1:28:56
     villages one on each side of the creek
     1:29:03
     and that is clearly the advance for the lunar army
     1:29:13
     so the there is discussion between Leika and Kallyr and their plan
     1:29:21
     is to move the entire Sartarite army
     1:29:28
     to the edges of old top do you see where old top is this hill
     1:29:33
     here and um from there
     1:29:41
     the sardo rights can take a defensible position and it’s not possible for the lunars to
     1:29:49
     march around them
     1:29:54
     is their assessment of this and if the uh if the lunars do try to march around
     1:30:01
     them then the Sartarites can charge on their side and so it will force a battle at old top
     1:30:10
     and one where the the Sartarites can can uh take a prepared defensive position
     1:30:24
     and they both discuss this and they both uh they they both agree that this seems to
     1:30:32
     be a good plan i don’t know if your characters have any negative reaction to that or not
     1:30:41
     what does my middle school see i mean the high ground is
     1:30:46
     or at least having access to the high ground is always a sound tactic
     1:30:51
     the the weight of numbers at the moment seems to be on the lunar side allowing yourself to potentially be uh
     1:30:59
     trapped there is is risky but it’s probably
     1:31:05
     going on if that’s where their scouts have been seen well they’re probably the best option
     1:31:11
     the other advantage too is that you know they’re gonna have to defend cri have to do a river crossing
     1:31:17
     you might i i might personally i think you you’d want to hold the river and attack them there
     1:31:24
     but it’s a time issue if they’re going to do it they’re going to have to cross the river and you’re going to be waiting on the other side
     1:31:30
     for them promise you have already scouts coming over so uh you will not be there
     1:31:36
     on the other side weren’t they yeah on the north side so if you could get there in time
     1:31:49
     um how far is this away from the river well look here here’s a great thing
     1:31:55
     oh great wow that’s what’s a brilliant invention okay so that’s about right a
     1:32:01
     mile the thing is they can easily go around the river can they
     1:32:06
     it’s a long way no it’s not because the thing is look at it where
     1:32:11
     are they going to go where they could either they have to cross them
     1:32:16
     at the two sisters that’s where you could that’s that’s the the nearest
     1:32:22
     ford the next ford up river is
     1:32:28
     maybe 20 30 kilometers up river yeah but how bad is the marshland can’t they go
     1:32:34
     uh down on the left side it’s delectise marsh oh vampires
     1:32:42
     yeah they’re terrible for tiger attack escape or table i i love to go there i have my spell
     1:32:49
     turned so does anybody subject to that as the plan because caller’s proposal is to
     1:32:57
     march immediately everything to the edge of old top
     1:33:02
     i think that sound and then you could send advanced guards to two sisters to try and try and contest the crossing
     1:33:08
     so the other question is how dangerous is this marsh apart from the
     1:33:14
     well 20 years ago when the lunars came um thousands of zombies marched out of
     1:33:22
     the marsh in alliance with the lunars thousands of them
     1:33:29
     um and pinned the Sartarite army in Runegate so that the crimson bat could
     1:33:35
     come and devour the entire army in one place so what does uh maybe they do the same
     1:33:42
     again so actually that is what people have anxiety are for that’s why
     1:33:47
     maybe you want a part of the army to go around um through the marsh you don’t want to
     1:33:54
     send anybody into the marsh this is why this is why we need uh the ducks
     1:33:59
     involved yeah but the ducks aren’t here no but can we get a message to ducks
     1:34:06
     because they’re the only ones who could actually move freely through the marsh and do something about the zombies the
     1:34:11
     ducks are several days away from here um winners are just to give you an idea
     1:34:18
     if the scouts are here you can assume that the main lunar army is probably about here
     1:34:25
     um stupid question turn undead is a how many point rune spell
     1:34:32
     i don’t know what’s written down on your character sheet for it nothing do you have turn undead yes
     1:34:40
     okay well then turn undead i think it’s either a one or a two points well Garan has it too it’s a one point
     1:34:47
     spell okay and how many can i turn this one spell a thousand per spell
     1:34:53
     one and so i need a thousand rune points
     1:34:58
     four thousand zombies yes it’s not fair
     1:35:05
     and how big how big are the two sisters these two villagers are little villagers they’re
     1:35:11
     very small little villages but it is a a in in fire season um you can easily
     1:35:19
     walk across the creek there just walk across it
     1:35:25
     it’s a ford it’s an easy forwarding place
     1:35:30
     that’s why you have a village on it it’s basically it’s uh a self village on either side that that
     1:35:38
     um uh you know sits on the crossing of
     1:35:48
     and it’s a cry it’s a forge that is it’s affordable year round it’s now fire
     1:35:54
     season so this is when the river is lower so it is an easy this is an easy
     1:36:01
     crossing place what’s the weather like well it’s fire season so roll some
     1:36:07
     percent i’m going to roll some percentile dice i don’t trust people
     1:36:12
     i don’t know what the table looks like i don’t trust anybody
     1:36:19
     and rich how are you doing for time my friend uh we can keep going
     1:36:32
     it is sunny and clear damn we can because one of the things
     1:36:39
     you could do is when they’re crossing is if we have enough priests we could summon the weather over it and then
     1:36:45
     hit them with a deluge of rain as they tried i also think if the part of the problem
     1:36:52
     was the zombies trapping people in room gate at least the old top you’d be able to see them coming
     1:36:57
     and you could have a relatively orderly retreat and because the river would protect you on one of your flanks yeah
     1:37:06
     as long as as long as you just can’t let you can’t we can’t get surrounded because then we’ll end up like the romans that can i but as long as
     1:37:13
     that doesn’t happen how how possible is the terrain um
     1:37:19
     east of old top [Music] there are hills they’re rough hills
     1:37:27
     much of a problem too what’s the chaos ground there well
     1:37:33
     chaos ground is where the crimson bat bled oh
     1:37:39
     okay it is considered a haunted and bad place you will want to avoid it
     1:37:47
     the other thing we’ve really got to remember is we have to be very judicial with our ability to reduce the glow line
     1:37:52
     when it comes yeah okay so basically your line
     1:37:57
     you all will form up calorie is going to march everyone over to runegate
     1:38:04
     where you will form up about a two kilometer front
     1:38:09
     right here and that’s where all your camps are and on the other side you can start
     1:38:15
     seeing the campfires right here of the lunar army
     1:38:24
     and and do we see any suspicious characters that you know look
     1:38:30
     like uh you know people who might belong to the college of magic or something like that
     1:38:36
     yeah what about a night raid on the college try and take some of them out before they get to the battlefield is that
     1:38:43
     honorable Garan yeah yeah that’s a that’s a legitimate tactic
     1:38:49
     how good are you it’s not an ambush either how good are you at making a lot uh
     1:38:54
     night raids into camps of thousands of people where you have no intelligence of
     1:39:03
     that i don’t know but it’s attacking i believe the answer is not very good
     1:39:09
     there must be people in the army importantly there is no gigantic
     1:39:17
     floating glowing bat demon eyes
     1:39:23
     yeah it’s just i mean they they usually dress quite ornamentally and are usually picked out of the crowd so i was just
     1:39:30
     wondering you know are there any such people visible when we look at the board
     1:39:37
     from old top um i would like this will be the last skill roll i let for tonight but i’ll
     1:39:43
     allow people to make a scan roll i’ll cast farsee three first
     1:39:49
     oh that’s an excellent idea um you can cast on all of us too if you want failed another
     1:39:56
     i’ll cast it on Nisk scan
     1:40:02
     yes i only have 45 to do it i failed though
     1:40:07
     sorry okay i’ll roll my skin as well
     1:40:13
     nope yes 17 it’s irregular because i suck
     1:40:18
     party just gives you distance right it doesn’t increase your scandal right no it just gives you distance and it gives
     1:40:24
     you a lot more information indeed you get a lot more information
     1:40:30
     it just doesn’t increase your chance of success all right there are thousands of lunars
     1:40:38
     how many you don’t really know you’re not really good at it yeah uh i’ll um i’ll let you make a battle roll
     1:40:46
     for that okay okay can i augment it with my hate lunar no no
     1:40:52
     okay zero five my special
     1:40:59
     wow okay you think it is roughly comparable in
     1:41:04
     size in numbers to everything that Kallyr has
     1:41:10
     managed to assemble here so she’s managed to assemble a little bit over 4
     1:41:16
     000 a warriors you think there’s a little bit more than 4 000 soldiers
     1:41:23
     at two sisters um
     1:41:28
     they’re lunars and it’s a lunar army and
     1:41:34
     um you you know they they they are organized whereas um
     1:41:40
     the at old top the camps are all you know it’s basically clan
     1:41:46
     and kinship group and and everything has is organized over on the other side at
     1:41:52
     two sisters there seems to be a lot of organization
     1:41:58
     well they’re professional soldiers we have a lot of militia in this right
     1:42:07
     so Enkala any suspicious characters i mean we’ve all been what was it
     1:42:12
     yeah we’ve seen crater makers before do we see any crater makers groups
     1:42:19
     you can see that there are stable antelope
     1:42:27
     there are um there are a lot of horsemen and Sable
     1:42:33
     Riders but they don’t look like praxians the Sable Riders
     1:42:38
     and there are uh
     1:42:45
     there’s a lot of hoplite soldiers you know wearing the full
     1:42:50
     outfit of everything uh and and they’ll look like there’s
     1:42:57
     some tough professional soldiers in this army
     1:43:02
     this is this is not a a this is not a mostly militia army
     1:43:10
     is there still such a thing as heat metal it’s a spirit magic spell yeah it
     1:43:16
     doesn’t work on large numbers of people no but you can melt one armor right
     1:43:22
     uh sometimes if it’s enchanted if it’s rim metal it’s hard yeah
     1:43:30
     it’s kind of a lousy heat metal is actually kind of a lousy offensive spell it also takes a long time to work
