Podcast and Campaign Introduction
00:01:03
Speaker
Hello and welcome to Ever Under Youth, an actual play podcast set in the Everon campaign setting. I'm your Game Master Eric. I'm Phillip. I'm Trevor. I'm Randy. I'm Jeff. Welcome to another episode. Gentlemen, what happened? We kind of discussed really is really where we were. Lots of talk. It was a clerical episode. It was a good one. It was necessary.
00:01:23
Speaker
We, I genuinely had not thought of it as Jeff until I said it, and I feel like maybe that's the case. Hadn't even considered, uh, Thorani blowback. Retaliating. Uh, so we, we did a little thinking considering on that.
Planning the Jason Job
00:01:36
Speaker
Um, gave Raynard the ice rod.
00:01:42
Speaker
and Eris is gonna tattoo Hob and we're on our way to Satan. You're gonna swing by Cassian first, because you decided to do the Jason job without Cassian before helping Cassian. But we need a couple days before we can do Jason, so we're sorry Cassian, but you gotta lay here for a little while. Because Hob is getting tatted. That's why. Yep. Okay. And then Eris is gonna go work on the tattoo ink.
00:02:08
Speaker
OK. And hope that Harbin's not at the cauldron. Just for social awkwardness. OK. So you all head on over.
00:02:29
Speaker
You all head to Cassian safe house and when he opens the door He's no longer in his battle armor any longer he's in Street clothes he looks
Meeting Cassian
00:02:48
Speaker
You would say not like super fancy upper crust like Raynard trying hard, but he looks like in the the casual attire of somebody from an upper part of the city is how he's dressed. Oh, hey, guys, what's up?
00:03:04
Speaker
How old is he or how does he look? He's mid 40s. But he's got short blonde hair, blonde beard, some light scarring just showing that he's like a soldier that has fought a lot but not like deep scarring. But he's a pretty handsome dude.
00:03:24
Speaker
Hey, what's up? Great. So here's the thing. We've decided that we're gonna take care of this Jason thing on our own. But it's gonna take us a couple of days to take care of it. You understand, the Ronnie blowback and everything. We need to do it perfect. Yeah. Yeah. But as soon as it's done, like, I cannot impress this upon you.
00:03:53
Speaker
As soon as it's done, we need to get underground. Okay. So we'll let you know when we're about to head that way. Oh, literally. Like we're- Okay. Like literally within a couple of hours probably we need to be in Kiber. Okay. Sure. While all hell breaks loose about it up here and then we can see what's going on when we get back. Okay. So that's where we're at. All right. I'll just enjoy the sights of the city then. Yeah, you know, it's a good place. Sorry we took all of your money.
00:04:24
Speaker
I have my personal stipend to hire people, but yeah. Check out the consistent
Venue Suggestions and Humor
00:04:33
Speaker
bird. Consistent bird? Yeah, they've got food and... Oh no, wait, where's the place with the show? You've got to start getting money for that. Oh! It was right across from Chance's. Chance is me, Chance!
00:04:49
Speaker
I might not have that, that might be in my old, I might not have transferred that yet. Anyway, Hob suggests he goes and checks out that place, the name of which I don't recall and it is not important. I got both of them. I don't think I have that. It's like the cracked mirror or something like that. That sounds right. That does sound right. Okay, yeah, that sounds like some good spots to go check out. Any good brunch places?
00:05:14
Speaker
I mean, probably. We've been to 130, you should say that. Raynard does brunch frequently. Oh, that's right. Raynard does brunch frequently. Oh, yes, you should. I have great brunch friends, too. Oh, really? Hours of brunch. Okay. The name escapes me. Who was that gentleman? I don't know what you're talking about. Kipling.
00:05:35
Speaker
Kipling yes, but who is this the one Kipling? Oh, Salmond Callaway. Oh, yeah Good friend of mine for God is away. Yeah, I'm gonna skip on that drain your thank. Thank you for the thought He usually gets the bill
00:05:59
Speaker
Well, yeah. Anyway, don't need to get into that. So, okay.
Ambush Plans with Vigo
00:06:05
Speaker
So a couple days. So I'll just, I'll be ready if you all are just going to swing by here or do you want to have a random new spot? Like how do we want to do this? Cause I think we'll have to figure out where the Jason things happen. It's very likely it's happening. I mean, where are we relative to kick bottoms right now within a mile is in this district. So yeah, very close by.
00:06:28
Speaker
Like weird, it's a very good likelihood that it's gonna be happening around the corner, so... Okay. So worry not. What was that walk? Hmm? No, he's... Oh, I have screwed up hips. Oh, I thought you were just being silly. Sorry. It's okay. Seemed out of character. They'd just be silly, so...
00:06:55
Speaker
Okay, yeah. Well, just keep me updated. If you need to, and he points to the side of the door, that brick with the odd markings on it, that's basically a sending receptacle, so you can come leave me an auditory message if I'm not here. Just hold that brick. Can we just come in?
00:07:14
Speaker
What do you mean? Right now? Are we outside of your house? Yeah. Okay, I did not realize that he met us outside. Well, he opened the door and was like, hey, what's up? Okay. The door is open, like he's just... But the mailbox is on the outside. Yes. Okay, that was my confusion. You want to just waltz into your place and push a button? No. Okay, yeah, yeah. What I would have said, keep up, bud.
00:07:37
Speaker
Okay. Um, well, I'm going to go grab dinner, catch a show, and, uh, I will be in touch with you all. Um, I probably figured out if some people are around anyway, that's not, don't bother you. So, okay. Hey, Reinard, can you, uh, pay for a cab out of the Satan's?
00:07:58
Speaker
can't take your fine sure you two get to share the sidecar yes yeah that's fine i mean i don't imagine a problem with it okay we take my oh we're good my bike up to satan's okay very very skinny very small we fit
00:08:14
Speaker
that's the math we say not gonna ride on your shoulders still with his leather helmet flashing in the wind you know how lollipops stand on their stick so easily
00:08:32
Speaker
OK, so you all are able to get to Boromar HQ easily. We've established it's probably around a little bit after noon, like early afternoon. OK, that's because because it was more like, yeah, because Raynard was at brunch in the attack. It was first thing in the morning when this fight started. So, yeah, so early afternoon you get there and are able to gain an audience with Satan easily enough
00:09:00
Speaker
And you get taken back to his office, and he's sitting at his desk. He's got paperwork, and it's clear that he's having a clerical day. And he's like, hello, Hob, my little Reynard. What can I do for you? Satan seems exhausted. Just no checks needed. He seems exhausted. So.
00:09:25
Speaker
we did decide to take the gig with us coming up with the, you know, deciding who does what. Because I was assuming we're here. So we might as well take care of that also. Yeah, do you want to lead with that? Well, no, I'm just saying we're here. I was just making sure that out of character that we had decided that we were going to do that.
00:09:51
Speaker
but there's his reservations.
Recruiting Satan for the Plan
00:09:53
Speaker
I just want to just throw a reminder out there to the table in general as we're going into this trying to convince Satan to do something that he normally wouldn't do. We've invested a fair amount of experience into your charm score and you get a bonus from Hob being here as well. So if at any point, Raynard wants to take the lead. Please do so. But you don't have like once it comes time to make checks. He's also super tired, so I bet we get a boost time.
00:10:21
Speaker
Or, or a setback because he's also tired. Yeah, but I said mine first. So that's how that works. What would you like to say to Satan? Wait, did you hear the plan? Yeah. But should we lead with the thing you wanted us to do? So we went him over a little more. If he's this tired and we came to him about something that trivial right now, I think we lead with we're ready to take out Jason and here's how we think we should do it. Okay.
00:10:50
Speaker
because that's what he, it's very possible that he's extremely tired because of this situation and having to deal with it. So, I don't think he's staying up at night wondering if we're going to take our new position. He might be impressed with Raynard talking to him, you never know. I thought that was important though. Is it not important? A lot of things to say are important, but of varying degrees at any given moment, so.
00:11:13
Speaker
I think we start with Jason. We are going to handle the Jason situation by getting Viggo to invite him to keg bottoms. We need to ask if Viggo knows, because we know Viggo doesn't know, but characters don't. So we need to ask if Viggo knows, and then we need to say, can we use him to do it this way? Get him to meet us somewhere. We'd love it if it was keg bottoms for the dramatic bit of it, but we understand if that doesn't mean as much to you.
00:11:43
Speaker
But if Vigo doesn't know, let's get Vigo to bring Jason somewhere. Will you have Vigo set that up for us? OK. I'm going to cut this out, but just you saying Vigo doesn't know so many times got me doing. Scotty doesn't know? Vigo doesn't know that his best friend Jason is his assassin, the therani. Yeah, just real dumb. Cinematic classic. Vigo doesn't know. Something, something. Road trip? Euro trip. Euro trip, yeah.
Discussion on Wounds and Resources
00:12:13
Speaker
First and many times I would utter this phrase, what is Matt Damon doing in this movie? Okay, anyway. Yes. What can I do for you? Mr. Satan. Yes, Raynaud. We are ready to handle the Jason situation. Excellent. Love to hear that.
00:12:32
Speaker
We have made a plan that we would love your help with, if you would. Love that last, but go ahead. Oh, just minuscule, minuscule help, minuscule. Okay. We first would like to know if you happen to know if Viggo knows about Jason. You want to know if I know if Viggo knows. I've not told Viggo about the Jason situation.
00:12:56
Speaker
I intend to have a sit down conversation with Vigo here in the next few days where I'm going to lay everything out for him. So, yeah. As far as we know. And I would love it if the Jason thing was taken care of by the time I'm having that conversation. Like, hey, here's the reason why your second in command hasn't been around. So. Yes. We were wondering if Vigo could help get Jason to a location for us.
00:13:25
Speaker
to handle him. Maybe, I don't know, the old keg bottom site. The construction site where we're building keg bottoms. Looking for some poetic justice, Milo. Hey. Poetic justice site. Not throwing any shade? Love it. Okay, I will talk to Vigo and see if, do you want, well, no. I'll see if, I'll see if Vigo can get Jason.
00:13:52
Speaker
there, and I'm sure it won't be a problem. Clearly, you're. Would you, okay. Do you want, just trying to figure out why would I tell Vigo to send Jason to the old keg bottoms, do you all want to
00:14:10
Speaker
Mask your involvement in all these dealings from Vigo like if I were to say Blacklamp's harboring on Milo Harris's crew needs Jason's assistance for a job Send him to go meet up with them at this spot
00:14:26
Speaker
That's gonna be an easy sell, because Vigo will feel like he has eyes and ears on you by Jason being there. But obviously, when something happens to Jason, Vigo is going to instantly know what's going on. Yes, no, I don't think Jason needs to know we'll be there. Well, the issue is, when I was getting ready to say earlier, it is your prerogative when you tell Vigo about Jason. Yeah.
00:14:56
Speaker
If Jason and Viggo are both there when we start to kill Jason, Viggo's probably gonna try to defend him if he doesn't know about it. And I don't want to put Viggo in that situation because we'll have to stop him from hurting us. That's why I stop myself when I ask, do you want Viggo there? Because I don't want Viggo there. Right. My issue is...
00:15:20
Speaker
I think Jason knows we are a bit onto Jason at this point. We, the four of us, not the we in this room, if that makes sense. Which there are four, and that also wasn't particularly clear. The loaded dice, wasn't that a thing once? We think that he's onto us.
00:15:42
Speaker
My fear is, Viggo will certainly use our names, if you use our names to him. And then, I've been speaking with a former Thirani contractor, and based on her reporting, there's no way that Jason is alone in this region right now, district. And if he suspects us, he won't come alone. If Viggo invites him somewhere,
00:16:12
Speaker
He will, more likely. Yeah. Okay, I will see what I can do. Perhaps I can get Vigo to agree to set up a meet time with Jason and then I will come up with something to tie Vigo up and make him late to meet with Jason. But you don't need to worry yourselves with that. Go ahead and give me a charm check to see
00:16:39
Speaker
Um, okay. And, um, because of your compelling argument and like the way you all talked through, you can have a free upgrade. So add a green to it. Um, Satan is sleepy and a little grumpy, so you can have a blue and a black. Um, and the difficulty is going to be against, uh, Satan's discipline. Uh, so that will be one red one, uh, two purple.
00:17:07
Speaker
Okay. And you could always spend a story point if you want to change that green to a yellow. Did we get a looming? It's after you roll. You get two advantage added to the roll. Yes, spend a story point. Okay, so. Yeah, for real. This matters a lot. So change that green to a yellow. Our dice are just mixed up. One of the yellows is mine. All the rest of the greens are yours. It looks good. That's promising. Yes, very promising.
00:17:35
Speaker
So these cancel out, right? These cancel out. So just one threat? One threat and a lot of success. Two, three, four, five success? Yep.
00:17:52
Speaker
And well, no, no threat. Cause you had two advantage. Oh yeah. Five success and an advantage. Of course. So, um, so Vigo sits there for a moment and goes, Satan. Satan. Thank you. No, Vigo. Well, well, well.
00:18:13
Speaker
So yeah, Satan thinks about her and is like, OK, yeah, I think I can make that work. I think I can get Jason at the old keg bottoms, try to ensure that Joe's crew isn't there. Yeah, when do you need this to happen? What's your timeline? What are you looking at? Eric said two days, right? What day is it today? Sorry. Today? Is it still the day where we? It is the same day we had the fight. OK. So today is the 25th of Larvian.
00:18:44
Speaker
Hopefully it's a weekend cuz I did went to brunch. It's like the 27th of Larian. Okay. I marked my calendar.
Timeline for Ambush
00:18:51
Speaker
What time? Blarren's day. I don't know what they call them here, right? I never memorized those. What time? Evening, right? Right. Like the crew to show up accidentally. Yeah. Right. No evening. Yes. Yes. Secondly, um
00:19:05
Speaker
I Hobbs never been in Kyber. He has no idea if it's worse or scarier at night or who knows what it's probably always the same I think it is too because they're not affected by the Sun. Yeah So yeah, you're late evening there in a couple of days now one other thing that you need to know is that we will be
00:19:25
Speaker
Laying low, like really, really low for a little while after we do this. Okay. Thrawny. You get it. Oh yeah. Yeah. No. And I, my intention is, um, given what we found about the attack on the armory, where an associate of the clan was residing, the implication that we have about Jason's involvement with, um, keg bottoms. Um, our intention is to,
00:19:54
Speaker
the clan will do its best to throw our weight towards Thorani to make it clear that this was retribution for wrongs done against the clan as a whole and not just some bad actors going after a house agent. So we will do our best to cover you in that regard but no guarantees and obviously there's going to be certain agents that want to see you dead. Sounds like there have already been agents that want to see you dead.
00:20:19
Speaker
Yeah, so basically after we do this, we're going to be out of pocket for a couple of days. Okay. No, that's fair. Okay. I mean, do you all need a safe house? We have places that you all can lie low and... I appreciate that. We've actually got a place to go. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. All right. Well, if there's nothing else I have magnitudes of work to do, so...
00:20:41
Speaker
Well, what about the offer for us to take the lead in missions? Have you made a decision regarding that? We are willing to do so. Excellent. That will start next week. Well, yes. And also, it will start once I've had the conversation with Vigo and we can have a proper transfer of responsibilities and power. Obviously, Vigo won't be training you.
00:21:06
Speaker
Can you imagine that disaster? What could he possibly have to teach us? But yeah, please don't tell anybody about this arrangement until I've had a chance to speak to Vigo. Yeah, no, sure.
00:21:21
Speaker
Yeah, who did you tell? Solomon Callaway, his brunch buddy. My best friend Sal. And Kipling. And Verla. And Arthur. Quit telling Verla about the crime. You've got to quit telling of all the things we'd like for you to do. Quit telling Verla about the crimes. And heal us occasionally. Those two would be two big first steps. I read a book about it. I know about it.
00:21:49
Speaker
Okay, let's go. Todd is still bleeding, by the way. That is great to hear. How did you only have three ones available? You took a stim pack from Cassian. Oh, but you were knocked out. Yeah, I was dead. Just like Gaze.
00:22:08
Speaker
Okay, well, I appreciate that. I'm excited to work more closely with the four of you once Eris is around. And did you all have any follow up questions about the arrangement? Or do you want to wait until we're
00:22:22
Speaker
onboarding in a more official capacity. Right, we've got a lot to do and plan and hop gestures to himself and I really could use a rest so we're gonna take off if that's all right. With five success all I got was a yes.
00:22:38
Speaker
yeah well that was very empathetic yes that's a lot a lot of good things you have no idea what sort of pushback eric was planning that's what you gotta remember i mean he said yes and then asked what time would you like what day i mean okay he accommodated every request that you made in the aftermath of the question as well um i was like oh we got plans that night sorry um
00:23:03
Speaker
Okay, I do wanna, actually, Jason's daughter is Bat Mitzvah, so he's busy. I just spent all my money on a tattoo, which is a statement I've heard before. So I can't go and buy any painkillers.
00:23:19
Speaker
How many did Cassian say he had one for each of us, two for each of us? He had a belt with five of them to take down into cover. I heal you right now. Well, no, just let me sleep it off and save it. Well, you'll heal one wound by sleeping it off. Oh, God, that's right. This game blows for that. And I read a book.
00:23:36
Speaker
Well let's not do, yes, I will let you heal me before we part ways for the evening and we'll see how it goes. But I was just thinking about once we're down there. Hopefully well. I don't necessarily want to ask, Satan. And remember the healing potions, stimpaks, whatever word you want to use. The very first
Final Preparations and Low Profile
00:23:50
Speaker
one you heal six, then you heal five, four, three, two. The first one is six? I think so, yeah. I thought it was five.
00:23:56
Speaker
I think it's six. I also thought it was five. It might be, it might be. I think it's five. I think it's five, then four, and then it goes down. Okay, so, yeah, I'm not gonna bother saying about it, then we'll just say. Okay, all right, thank you. Yep, you're welcome. 27th. Mm-hmm. Evening. Jason will be okay about this. Basically, well, God, that's tricky.
00:24:21
Speaker
We'd like for it to be at a time convenient for them, and you let us know when they decide. Does that make sense? All right. Yeah. Because the more convenient it is for Jason, the less likely he... Do you all need cleaners for the aftermath? People to take care of the body, or will you take care of that on your own?
00:24:44
Speaker
I mean, how close is Kevgood bottoms to just tossing a body over the edge and letting it melt in or off the shore? I mean, anywhere we're in the shore, and there's nowhere that's... That's what I'm saying, like, yeah, do that. It's a few footsteps away. But that's also not... That will surely be noticed, like, also. Yeah, I mean, if he's offering to give us a clean-up job, then yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, let's do that. That'd be wonderful. Thank you. Sounds good. Additionally, and this is up to you all if you want to share, Milo, you especially being in the fan...
00:25:15
Speaker
Dask moved into lower Tavics to like enforce today as well and like assaulted clan members and Satan might be aware of that. He might not be but that's a really good point. That's also something that happened this morning. So I thought about before I hadn't been thinking about it today. Yeah.
00:25:34
Speaker
Yeah. You're obviously tired, Satan, but one last thing. I'm sorry, you're going to want to hear this. No, that's fine. And I had a lot of success, so listen. You were very charmed by me earlier, and threatened by Hobbs, so listen up, buddy. Hey, zip it. We had an encounter with Dask this morning, moving into our territory, saying it was their territory now.
00:26:04
Speaker
They attacked the four sails. They were... They set them straight. They killed Ace. We got them back. I mean, he's a great art. We broke the wind. Oh, he's a guy that works at the four sails. But more importantly, Sauna was involved. Okay. And a bunch of Dask thugs saying it was their territory now. We disabused them of, well, of breathing. But I was...
00:26:31
Speaker
That is some, I guess they're making big swings now. Excellent, okay. And they're starting with our district. Okay. And we're gonna be gone for a couple of days. Yeah, I'll talk to goals and see if we can get some backup done to have explaining to just keep an eye on things, especially while you all are laying low. Unless you all have somebody specific in mind that you would like to, that you would trust to come keep an eye on things otherwise.
00:27:01
Speaker
I'll just have some people. OK, great. I shrugged in a noncommittal way. Sorry, there's an audio medium. Then I will have some people stationed in Tavix Landing, maybe in the for sales, just to keep an eye on things. Well, thank you all. Please shut the door on your way out. I appreciate your time. Please leave.
00:27:30
Speaker
And he grabs a ledger and opens it back up. He gives the double pat. Well, it's about that time. Thanks for coming over. OK, Eris, you get to the cauldron. Once again, early afternoon. So you walk in, and at a workstation, you see Olive and Harbin working. They both have big goggles on, some kind of caustic.
00:27:58
Speaker
thick viscous solution that Harbin is like examining in a, in a vial. And he looks, it was like chanting over it. Yeah. All of his eyes are rolling back. Fine. I need to feel hot. We knew before. Okay. Oh, here's
00:28:19
Speaker
Hey. Hey, we're working on, um, acid flasks. He looks at all of the guests. Yes. That's, that's what we're talking about. Uh, like throw it in shatters and burdens stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Um, all said that you made some pretty recently. Come take a look and give me thumbs up, thumbs down on how I'm doing. I have, um, uh, a sort of time sensitive thing to work on. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Totally. Totally. Yeah. I get it. Yeah. Right.
00:28:48
Speaker
OK. Well, Eris scurries over to her workstation. Carmen is like nose deep, and this acid flask now just puts her earphones in and sets to work. OK. Give me a perception check average difficulty just too purple as you walk across.
00:29:19
Speaker
Oh, I don't have them on. Oh, wait, those are all threats. Just two success. Two success. You can tell as you walk and put your headphones in, the Norsen Mill Hatch brand arms that you brought, you can tell that all of his disassembled some of the stuff and is working on them. You're a monster.
00:29:49
Speaker
They're all monsters deep inside. Anyway, so you're working on the reagents. What kind of check do you want to make to work on this? I want to start. Okay, so I'm going to make an
00:30:07
Speaker
Artifice check to create the necessary, the correct ink for this. This is essentially, this is the crafting check. So I have a hard difficulty and a lot of artificing ability. And I'm gonna spend story point upgrade
00:30:37
Speaker
and get an extra green. Go ahead and take one of the story point back. Upgrade the difficulty. Again, you are a monster. You feel awkward right now. Harbin's there. Right. But no. The amount of Balkan are there. Never feel awkward. There's an advantage on the table, isn't there? Yeah. Yeah. Take a boost. I love how many dice this is. There's a lot of dice.
00:31:09
Speaker
And most of them are in our favor. That's true. Yes, the dice pool here, dear listener, is four yellow proficiency dice, four blue boost dice, one green ability die, two purple difficulty die, and one red. What's that called? Threat die, temporary die, difficulty die, and challenge die. Challenge die. I like monster die. Monster die. I hope you die.
00:31:41
Speaker
Here we go. Okay. Certainly looks like it's... That cancels. That cancels. So yes, I think we're in very good shape. Actually, I wouldn't call it resounding, but it is a success. So much advantage. That's wonderful. I have two success and six advantage. Wow.
00:32:09
Speaker
So
Hobb's Special Tattoo Creation
00:32:12
Speaker
with Six advantage I Would like to Okay
00:32:33
Speaker
Drop the crit rating on this by one because the crit rating is terrible on this thing. Um, yeah, sure. Um, is that six advantage or is that? Um, I take three for it. Cool. What's the starting crit rating? Five. So let you drop it twice for all six. Sure. That seems like a very good use of this.
00:33:02
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Sold. Uh, so Eris mixes up, um, a couple of vials of this slightly iridescent ink that's got a lot of ground up dragon shard in it. Um.
00:33:25
Speaker
she would admit to absolutely no one that she designed a dragon shard grinder based on the lab mill hatch. How their mill hatch inhale it. It's better to just puncture it into your skin over and over. I feel like it is, though. I feel like it manifestly is better than inhaling it into your lungs. I mean, that's certainly true for ink. Yeah, right. I mean, in in a color of
00:33:55
Speaker
Jeff's choosing. So I'm trying to decide, like, all of Hobb's other tattoos are like that kind of gray shade, but I think maybe, so what we decided was these tattoos are going to be on the backs of his palms and then up his forearms, not all the way up, but, and there's a tribal symbol from his tribe that was like a mountain cat. Nice, okay. And then coming up from those is gonna just be dragon scale. Okay.
00:34:24
Speaker
I'm trying to decide if that, if that symbol should be a color that matters to his tribe. The dragon stuff would still just be black. Sure. But I don't, let's just, cause he's green cause of Blood of Vole. He's not green because of, white tattoo would look cool. Huh? White tattoo. That would look cool. Let's do that. White tattoos would look cool. So it's a, it's a white like stylized jungle cat or mountain cat. Uh,
00:34:48
Speaker
feet towards the knuckles, so coming up from the back is the dragon's heel going up his arms, forearms. Nice. Awesome. Okay, so it's sort of this, at the moment, slightly pearlescent white. Yeah. You, as you're finishing this up, get like a knock shit, like burning in your nostrils. And the music was so loud that it totally drowned it out, but you glance over your shoulder and
00:35:16
Speaker
like eighth of the table where one of the legs was has been burned away that Harbin and Oliver working on and Harbin standing there like no longer holding a vial of acid looking like oh crap on his face. It works. And all of just like exasperated rubbing her temple.
00:35:39
Speaker
I mean, it does work. You say that? Yeah. Um, Harbin's like, that's what I was saying. I was like, yes, it's just, uh, when we're working with stuff like this, we be great to not be distracted and have our minds focused on what we're working on. And Harbin looks awkward. Eris also. I just think that Harbin always looks awkward. Um,
00:36:11
Speaker
Okay, so were you all going to head down to the cauldron to meet up with Eris once you were done with your errands or what was the plan? We didn't explicitly say that. I guess we can reach out. Well, do we want to go and do the healing check while we're thinking about it? Yeah, let's do that. So just regular old trying to get rid of wounds. It's easy as long as you touch him. So one purple difficulty. Do I have your consent to touch you? Yes. Okay.
00:36:39
Speaker
That's my pool. Looking pretty good. Looking pretty good. And you're going to suffer two strain because you're casting a spell. Didn't I take something about strain? You've had rapid recovery for a very long time, but I don't know if you've ever used it. Probably not. Did I see that we're just trained today? Probably a lot. You don't have anything that reduces the amount of strain you take when casting a spell because there is nothing.
00:37:08
Speaker
Let's do it. Well... Well... God, healing in this game blows so hard. These cancel out success, right? No, those cancel out advantage. Oh. Right. Well, that has three success, what advantage? Three wounds and one strain. I'm still double digit wounds. I could do a medicine check. Well, that process, I mean, we described it very, very briefly, but...
00:37:37
Speaker
the whole of that process of gathering the things she needs and preparing the reagents and then mixing them, that was two days of order. So you have also slept twice. That's already been another couple of boons. I could do a medicine check, yeah. To try and heal him? Yeah. Don't you have a crit on your own you need to heal? No, I'm done. We got those taken care of. I'm good. That brings me down, I forgot about that. That brings me down to nine. I was at 11. No, it brings down to eight. I was at 10. So one more. So it should be
00:38:08
Speaker
Easier average. Madison check. For the record, Aeris still has a crit that's not been healed. I thought we took care of both of you. We did, and then I got a new one. Oh, I forgot that part. Okay, yeah, never mind. So let me take care. Same medicine check for Aeris. Absolutely. Yeah, we get back, we walk in the cauldron. Let me do a medicine check on you, Aeris. Aeris has been limping everywhere we have gone.
00:38:31
Speaker
I do still have a crit, but it's run its course, so it just adds 10, and I naturally take away 10. I get no free maneuver. Yeah, that's not good. Or Raynard could try to heal you with his magic. Okay, so. I would not ever have her consent to touch her.
00:38:51
Speaker
You just have to take the initiative and do it. Yeah, you could ask for the consent. That would be the first step. Like you did with Hop. Okay, so you all meet up, communicate the information that you received from Satan.
00:39:07
Speaker
I mean, you all can play that out. Do we want to try either via medicine or verse to heal Eris' crit? I think we should. Yeah, we need to. Yeah, let's do it. It's going to be easier for we absolutely need to rain our Eris.
00:39:23
Speaker
Let me get my dice. What's the difficulty on the two? Let me see what the difficulty is with the magic check. Because I don't think it's based on. Oh, I think that difficulty is for medicine check specific. Yes, I think you're right.
00:39:41
Speaker
I just think for the listener to know that I still don't know what this thing that Aeris has cooked up is gonna do for Hobb. Randy and I were having a conversation here when we were playing it and we heard Philip laughing to himself while building it in the other room. So I'm very excited to see what it is.
00:40:00
Speaker
He asked me questions about my abilities, so I don't know what's going on. How are you doing wounds-wise, Aris? I have three wounds. OK, so. And I have some strain, but that will go away with sleeping. That would go away. With the verse, it would be three purple, but any success would also heal your wounds in addition to getting rid of the crit. Medicine check would only get rid of the crit. Seems like the wounds would be nice to be gone. So two more strain. OK.
00:40:28
Speaker
And then I need to do something to get rid of the strain, right? Do I roll for that? So you've already gotten rid of some strain. Let's say you did my thing on the first day, and you do her thing on the next day. That will clear both of the strain. Yeah. So, OK. Go ahead. I think you succeeded. You might have some threat over there. Actually, no. I think it's just a success. Oh, I didn't see that one, yeah. Because that would turn into that. Three success?
00:40:58
Speaker
Great, okay, heal three wounds, and your crit is healed. Huzzah! He said, we've slept two days. Raynard touches your leg while singing under his breath. Yeah, by the time we leave to take out your breath, we will have slept two days. Oh no, what happened? Who sat them next to each other? They did that. Eric said that Raynard quietly sang, and so I went,
00:41:27
Speaker
I can't fight this feeling. While pinching his hand towards my knee. There it is. That's, yeah. Which is what I saw while erasing the crit is just Trevor's hand creeping in from out of frame. Oh, wonderful. Okay. Good, good dumb stuff we do. And I guess once we're done, Eris would get out her
00:41:54
Speaker
You know unlicensed tattoo tattoo artists supplies Mm-hmm Or is it Simone style just oh no, no, it's definitely she's got a mechanical one a tattoo machine. Yeah, she's got a Tattoo gun they don't like the term gun be sure cuz guns destroy things and tattoos are creations That's fits. Yeah tool machine. I think type two machines typically. Yeah, yeah
00:42:23
Speaker
That may be fully the one tattoo artist that I'm a good buddy with that feels that way but I like it. I've also heard that exact same sentiment verbatim from the same person. I do like the sentiment though. That thing with which she tattoos and I mean Eris is
00:42:45
Speaker
Reckless in other things, but this is artistry and so she draws on on Hobbs hand first And basically what we have is on the back the thing that I was showing Jeff is based on a on a style from the like the Iron Age in Cynthia there's a style of animal tattoo that shows up on a
00:43:08
Speaker
in art and so it's this sort of curled around image of a tiger or a mountain cat of some kind that's sort of on the back of his hand with the claws out and then sort of curling back onto the wrist and fading into just a line of what looked like dragon scales running back over the top of his forearm. And the effect that this has. I cannot wait to hear this.
00:43:40
Speaker
This is a melee weapon. And when these are active, which is when you get ready to fight, when these are active... So these are every punch I make? Yes, this is every punch you make. When these are active, basically they will...
00:43:59
Speaker
the density of the muscle in your forearms and hands increases. And they have an encumbrance of three. Okay. I have a brawn of five, so that is not an issue. Yeah. Which is important because they have the cumbersome quality to them, but that doesn't matter because your brawn is so high. They have a plus six to damage.
00:44:27
Speaker
Ouch. On your punches. Okay. Got the Popeye arms going. I am going to hurt people. Uh, they now have a crit rating of three instead of five. So. Wait. Because she rolled so well on the mechanics. Oh, I see. Okay. Yeah. So it takes three advantage. My crit rating has gone up one, but that's a fair compromise. Uh, they have the Pierce one quality.
00:44:54
Speaker
So a question, if I have a talent that also adds Pierce 1, does that make it Pierce 2? I would think so, although I would... Stacks. Defer to you, of course. Okay. The Vicious 2 quality.
00:45:10
Speaker
The burn to quality, so when you hit with them, you have the option to spend advantage to cause them to erupt in flame and set fire to your enemies. And the knockdown quality, special quality.
00:45:28
Speaker
Okay, for the listener, because I know all of this stuff, what do these things mean? So, Pierce means that you get to ignore a point of soak. One point of soak, right? Vicious two means that whenever you crit with them, you add 20 to the percentile die roll. Burn to, I'll have to double check what the
00:45:47
Speaker
Damage whatever the base damages, so whatever you do before adding success to the okay, so I'm sick so brawn plus this plus six Or does it include brawn either? I don't know brawn is part of base damage with me Yeah, it would be brawn plastic. I think so that seems that seems really intense. Well. I've already looked it up
00:46:05
Speaker
Because if it's base damage of the weapon versus the weapon is like is Yeah in the stats of the weapon. It's it's plus feel the weapon base damage. Okay, so six You spend two advantage to do that and it would last for two rounds, okay? And then knockdown you spend two advantage to knock them down Basically, you have just a lot of options or if you roll a crazy amount of advantage you can do more than one of them
00:46:33
Speaker
Hobb feels ready after that. I think Hobb, the irony is that Hobb does not like the pain of the tattoo. And so he's kind of biting, he's biting the knuckles of one hand while the other hand is getting tattooed. And he looks down at it and he goes, it looks great. Yeah, and it's done in this white ink. The first time he activates it his arm just goes like this because the density gets. Stands out against the dark skin of Hobb's darker skin.
00:47:00
Speaker
Can I go up? Can I, can I, can I test it? Yeah. Oh, Reinhard. So I'll activate it, whatever. I just want to see if I can set something on fire. You've got to have something. Yeah, absolutely. You make weapons. Yes, Eris has, Eris has a dummy in here. Okay. It's Reinhard. It's definitely got, oh, well. It definitely, there's definitely some duct tape over it where it used to have Norse and Millhashes written on it.
00:47:31
Speaker
That's very funny. Okay, I just want to attack it. Two purple is always the difficulty four. I'm trying to double check my S3 and two. Okay, I'm gonna get to burden it. Yeah, you are. So that is, hang on. You can do this, I believe. Oh no, I know I can't, I just have to do it.
00:48:00
Speaker
Oh, no, wait, sorry, that's that. That was two, right? Yes, it was. So that's that. Okay, it's two success. So the base, there's so much damage is 11, 12, 13.
00:48:18
Speaker
17 damage and then I want to burn it with two. How is it 17? Did you double or nothing it? No, cuz it's it's 11 plus It's 6 plus 5 and then I get oh, sorry. No, I made a mistake. That's not successes. It's advantages. So So yeah, it is
00:48:39
Speaker
13 damage and then I just want to burn it. So as I pull my hand away, it just ignites in flame. In the moment before the impact, it's like re-entry.
00:49:01
Speaker
As they impact the explosion, Eris, you once again, all of you get like a noxious smell and turn around and there's a pool of acid burning on the floor and Harvey looks all, that's not my fault. That was startling. Eris does not notice. Eris is like jumping up and down, shouting in goblin. Hob is pumped. Hob starts climbing his hands and he's like, okay, hang on. Take a break.
00:49:26
Speaker
Milo walks up to Hob and just kind of leans against his leg like he has done many times. And perhaps when we go take care of Jason, I might just say, what? Harbin's not, we're like far enough away, aren't we? In the workshop. I mean, it's not a small workshop. I mean, if you're whispering, it would be hard. Yeah, I'm just, wherever he's at, I'm assuming it's far enough away.
00:49:52
Speaker
Perhaps when we go take care of Jason, I might just say, hop, would you punch him, please? Okay, sure. I'd be happy to do that for you. Yeah. And Eris. I like the idea of him, his fire being involved in his demise. Me too. And they're called Aramruska, which means the wrath of the tiger. Oh my goodness.
00:50:21
Speaker
It's the Roth of the time. Yes, it is. A-R-A-M. A-R-A-M-R-U-U-S-K-A. I left out a U, as I think many would. Yeah, all of the all of the goblin in Everon has lots of double W's. Not W's, but double U's. Perry U's. Yeah.
00:50:43
Speaker
Okay So we have done that it has been a couple days So if it's been a couple days, then we'll say it's afternoon. So this upcoming evening will be when Jason should be Available to meet up with you all any final preparations be murdered
00:51:00
Speaker
I will say if we would like to at this point say we're done with preparations, we can institute the flashback rules where you all can flip a story point to retroactively do preparations.
00:51:17
Speaker
We did say that it would be a good idea for Reynard to talk with somebody about if they knew of any other Serrani activity going on down here. So I would like to get a report on that. Yeah, we can say that's happened in the past couple days. Reynard. And perhaps Reynard, you could maybe find out some information on what Jason's been up to, possibly?
00:51:42
Speaker
Like why Kylie was killed? Maybe you have connections to find this out. I feel like that might be digging a little too deep for what we need right now. Maybe not. All the info. All the info. I just, you know, we're going to kill Jason. We're going to kill Jason and there's more to Jason. There's more to it. Let's focus on killing Jason right now. But then we might not ever find out who's behind it all.
00:52:13
Speaker
I mean, there's no getting around that being a fact, but... So if Reynard could maybe find out some of that information... From whom? There's a lot of difference in finding out if the... He has connections. Well, instead of those connections after we kill Jason, let's use one favorite at a time. No, we can still kill Jason, but... I don't think it will behoove us to ask more questions than we need to right now.
00:52:34
Speaker
And now it's always so difficult these days. And on this the day of the murder. You come to me on the day of the murder.
00:52:49
Speaker
Raynard, who are you gonna go talk to Basil? You gonna go talk to another member of the family? What are you thinking? For some reason, I thought I would just go talk to somebody who is Thirani, but I guess that's not a good idea. That would be a bad idea. Well, that's why I was hesitant to ask more questions. You have run into a couple of your cousins in town who are members of House Thirani, but... That's why I was hesitant to ask more questions. So this Ignacio fella, what can you tell me?
00:53:14
Speaker
Yeah, I'll go talk to Basil. Okay. Oh, that guy. So, you head back to North Edge, I believe is the district that he's in, still as his detective self. So you go into the Charne City Watch station there, go back to his office. Oh, hello.
00:53:40
Speaker
Hello, don't sound so pleased to see me, good grief. Listen, the past few times that we have interacted, it's not been the most pleasant follow-up for me, so I did kidnap a man for you last night. Yeah, but I'm not pleased to see you.
00:53:55
Speaker
fun. Well, I don't know what you were doing for the weeks that I had an Orson Millhatch in a cell in our family's dungeon. To be honest, I couldn't tell you either. I was running interference so that your father and brother and mother did not know what you were up to.
00:54:12
Speaker
I want that madcap sitcom episode where Basil is just trying to keep you from going down to the dungeon. It's a one-shot. We got enough people here. And an ant from out of town to also show up halfway through the episode. Well, I just have questions this time. Okay. Just questions. What questions? Well, it has to do with a Theron-y
00:54:38
Speaker
Hello, I guess. God, yes. Which one? There's a few in town now. And your father is very cross about it. And Ignacio. Jason, Ignacio. Ignacio. The pronunciation is Theo, Ignacio. Ignacio. Yes. Yes, well. Without him. That is your relative's name, right? I'm not insane. OK, you named this
Raynard's Family Strategy
00:55:02
Speaker
bad guy after your nephew or something. Cousin. How does your cousin feel about us murdering
00:55:06
Speaker
I don't think he will ever know. Your cousin that could beat the crap out of you. Yeah, my cousin, the future Olympic gymnast, who could wreck me in an instant. So, I almost said he'd have to catch me first, but he is also driven way faster. You're right. That just wouldn't be a problem. You wouldn't realize you needed to start running by the time he taught you.
00:55:33
Speaker
So yes, he's awful and shouldn't be here, and has caused a lot of problems, and your father is very cross about it. Oh, that's good, because we're going to kill him. Oh, really? You know, if you told your father that, then he might be very pleased with you. He might be a good way to start mending bridges. So none of you went with him. This is on you. I know, I know, I know.
00:55:55
Speaker
You set Raynard alone to go do a thing, so think on yourself. I was getting a tattoo. I was tattooing. What's your excuse, Milo? Yeah, Milo would have helped.
00:56:08
Speaker
Dr. Overshare. Yes, and Kylie. Are you familiar with Kylie? Let me tell you about Kylie real quick. Look, I got no problem with Milo hyper-fixating on- This Cassian fellow showed up and he's from a different timeline. And he told me about Hobbs Pass. Right.
00:56:30
Speaker
Anyway, so you're going to marry this Thorani agent. Yeah. Well, it's kind of a job, but it's okay Yeah, oh so the more about wanting dead. I didn't say that I mean you work for the bormar. Well, I did tell you that yes, so You are a detective aren't you get used to the job? Everyone but us is hostile
00:56:57
Speaker
Everyone but the four people in the four sales is hostile. You cannot do this. Three and a half. Yes, Aeris is selectively hostile. So what do you want from me regarding this? Do you, I mean... Do any information that you might have? Are they are they working?
00:57:20
Speaker
You know what, we would have briefed this. Raynard, we need to know. It's been historic, no. I'm flashing back. Whatever you do. Raynard, we need to know how many different surrounding agents they've heard of and if they're all working together. And we need to know if they do, how closely they monitor each other, basically. If they're independent, then that probably buys us a lot more time.
00:57:45
Speaker
then if they are like checking in with each other every 18 hours or something, or every 12 hours or every minute. So that's a big part.
00:57:55
Speaker
Secondly, whatever you do, don't tell him we're going to kill Jason. That ship is sail, friendo. And then third, don't connect it to the Boromars. Yeah, I know. We have left dock. No, we need to know how many Thorani they know of and if they're all working together. If he owes Ignatio, clearly knows who Ignatio is, so how about if he knows who Ignatio is, ask does Ignatio have.
00:58:20
Speaker
you know, partners in the city, in the district, whatever. Well, I mean, Raynard's not going to lie to Basil. We're just cutting, we're just nipping it in the bud. He lies to everybody. Never family. Raynard knows that Basil wouldn't know. Never his cousin. So Raynard's just nipping it in the bud. Milo, were there any things that you wanted Raynard to ask? I think Hob covered it pretty well. Well, mainly
00:58:48
Speaker
I mean, once he's dead, would he have any friends coming to look for him? Anyone? Do they work closely together? Do they talk to each other regularly to make sure they are not dead? I mean, so based on our intelligence, and you know, Thorani, you're very good at what they do, so might be shaky best, but we're also good at what we do, so. But based on what we know,
00:59:14
Speaker
Ignacio came to town as sort of a vanguard before his associates who are now operating the city. So there is an additional team of three that have arrived that seem to be, I don't want to say working under Ignacio, but they seem to be
00:59:32
Speaker
Ignacio is the one in charge in terms of Thirani here in the city, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. So typically he's not going to have them around all the time, but they are going to notice more quickly because he's the one that tells them what to do. And so, yeah, if it were the inverse where he was working for them, you might have a bit more leeway. But I imagine
00:59:57
Speaker
probably not even gonna have a full day before they suspect something has gone awry. All right. Thankfully we have something else to do. Oh, what? Oh, well. I'm kidding, I wouldn't tell him. Trevor, I will scream. That's this time traveling man that showed up out of nowhere. He makes all these references, I don't understand.
01:00:25
Speaker
Did you know in other universes I have money still? We just have another job in the cogs to take care of after. Oh, okay. That's not true. It's the right direction. See? I am being genuine though. If you wanted to leverage this work that you're doing with the family, I imagine
01:00:49
Speaker
Setting a message to Thrani that they're not welcome to operate in the city would be something that your, at least your, your brother would not be horribly against. But your father, uh, may call you brash and reckless, but he may also find it to be beneficial. I feel like Philip wants me to do this, but everyone else is going to be mad at me for doing it. An important reminder that table talk is an important and expected part of Genesis. Yes, that's, that's fine. Then Fierlund did it and not us.
01:01:19
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, murder them? Take. It's Fearland sending a message. It's house politics.
01:01:29
Speaker
But then I have to talk to my dad. Send a note. Yeah, let Basil tell your dad. You could try to convince Basil to tell your dad. And then we could just tell Boromar. There are many, many charm ranks. We could just tell Boromar, hey, don't worry. Fearland's got this one. In fact, if for the first time ever you wanted to use your heroic ability, you could. Because it's based on your charm. So you can spend two story points.
01:01:58
Speaker
And when you make this check, after you've rolled, you can remove any of the purple dye from the pool. And if I fail the- Any one purple dye from the pool. If I fail, we get the story points back, right? Yes, that's a talent that you do. That's the thing I took. I remembered. There you go. Because it happened today. Well, no, it's just Supreme. That's when you spend a story point to upgrade the check. You're not doing that. You're spending it to activate your hero. Nevermind. But we've got the points. And Eric is still our GM, so we're going to get the points back.
01:02:27
Speaker
So wait, wait, wait. I'm charming him to- To go to your dad instead of you having to go deal with it. Gotcha. After we've done it. Right, right, right. After he's dead so, so I don't get any boost from those story points. I'm just spending those two story points. You're spending those two story points, so after you roll, your difficulty is going to be one red, two purple. Okay. And you'll be able to get rid of this die after you roll. Two purple. Two purple. So one of those dies.
01:02:58
Speaker
And you and you have done some solid good role play here, so go and take a blue I was gonna say lobby for a boost my guy. Yeah, I've been nothing but honest Yeah, so also take three step Okay, so what what I don't need I'm just rolling and I'll just say anything. Oh, yeah
01:03:21
Speaker
That's two triumphs. Holy. Well, let's see if you succeed, though. Well, here, we pull this one, right? Yeah, the one with the... Yeah, give her that. Yeah, because you can't get rid of the one with a... Well, no, because you have... Oh, that's... There's only one failure out there and you have two successes from the triumphs alone, so... That cancels. So... And these cancel? Yeah. Yep. So it's just the two triumphs. Two success, which are triumphs. With two success, two triumphs. Ooh. So Basil thinks for a second, he's like,
01:03:46
Speaker
Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go to your father, my uncle, head of house, feeling in the city. I know the family tree, thank you. Okay, no, I'm, I'm, I'm... Grand year. You sure shit. Hey, don't talk to me that way, I got two triumphs.
01:04:04
Speaker
basically leverage your actions as retribution from our house against Thirani for operating in the city, which they should not be doing, and they know that, so they are infringing on territory. And hopefully that will be a boon to get you back into the family, or at least calm your father down. He really hates you right now.
01:04:29
Speaker
Well, I can't guarantee I'll be the one to kill this person, but he will be killed. You'll be involved. Hopefully nobody will witness this and be able to refute your claim of having killed them. Well, hopefully.
01:04:45
Speaker
Yes. I think that's what one of these triumphs is gonna be for. You were trained as a professional assassin and thief and... Yes, but you know me. I do know you. And to think at one time I was the pariah of this family.
01:05:03
Speaker
No, you're a cop. Undercover cop. Wait, no, I'm an undercover criminal in the police organization. I'm Matt Damon, not the Anogda Capri. I don't know why my family doesn't like me. They're career criminals and I'm a cop. Undercover criminal as an undercover cop. Yep. That's a song. A proper cup of coffee in a proper coffee pot.
01:05:28
Speaker
Okay, folks, we have two triumphs on the table. Yeah, idea for one of them. When, when he receives this news, Raynard's father, whose name I don't ever remember. Calveir. Calveir. Who I briefly played. Raynard's father, Calveir, will A, think that's fantastic, but B,
01:05:57
Speaker
have so much lack, so much confidence in Reynard that he will dispatch agents to screen the area and prevent reinforcements from arriving.
01:06:09
Speaker
Okay. To make, to try and make sure it succeeds because obviously Raynard will screw it up. Okay. So in this, in this case, we're letting Calvair know before. The impetus was to not let Calvair know until the job was done. Oh, well then no. Okay. That doesn't help. I mean, you can, you can change that, but I just want, yeah. I just, if there's any place that's going to have probably somebody from house, their audio undercover, it's going to be a thousand house Fuhrland. I mean, that's possible too. Like a distant cousin posing as a cop. Oh, that's also, that's, that would be a second triumph.
01:06:36
Speaker
That doesn't exist. Nuh-uh. You didn't give the GM that idea. The great negate. You can only negate it. The only way you can not negate something is if it's based off of despair. Otherwise, sure. So the other three Theronys that are operating in town are the ones that we met that highest night. And that is it. As far as you've been told. Basil knows.
01:07:06
Speaker
All right, so two times one of them is hit by a truck. Well, I was thinking I was thinking that with one of them, we can convince Basil to convince another cop to stake them out and make sure they're not nearby those three at least. But what's a cop going to do?
01:07:29
Speaker
if they are nearby. Let us know that so we're prepared. We could declare stuff with narratively. I was going to say I would imagine the cops are all cooperative with the houses, but maybe not.
01:07:49
Speaker
They never find out what happened to Jason. No one will miss him. He doesn't tell him he's going to this meeting. So they wouldn't know to go there or be there. Oh, Jason doesn't communicate to his underlings. I think that's great. Yeah, that's a great one. Jason just thinks this is business with Vigo. Chuckle fun with Vigo. Here's one. Chuckle fun with Vigo. That's what they call their tickle parties.
01:08:28
Speaker
We're shaming you don't kick shame me And that's okay
01:08:43
Speaker
I think this is my last campaign. I just want to say. We are a lot more focused when we do this remotely. Second triumph, second triumph. It could be something related to the Cassian Kyber job if you want. It could be still related to this. It could be totally unrelated. We all just totally get the drop on Jason. He is just totally ambushed. I think that's part of your prep, though. Yeah, that's something we get to do.
01:09:13
Speaker
The thing is I want each of us to get a role in on Jason if we want to. That's the thing. I want to wrap him up so you can smack him. Hear me out. Kevin. OK. Viggo shows up. It feels really hard using a triumph on something that's going to screw us so hard.
01:09:38
Speaker
Just just I'm just putting it out there, but then that's gonna fall on the on my family now Well, I mean all Satan still knows what we're doing. Yeah, Satan knows what you're doing. And part of the reason like Satan's keeping Yeah, Satan is keeping vehicle and ego could and ego could be really persistent and stupid We know half of that the triumph is vego has an aneurysm Okay
01:10:06
Speaker
I mean, is it pertinent that we have more information about Hasrani or Kylie or...? Yeah, you could satisfy some of Milo's anxiety with the triumph if you want. Philip does not, but... Answers to why.
01:10:26
Speaker
Milo wants answers. This triumph... That's totally unrelated, Drangia. I've been thinking and looking for things, and this triumph... For some reason I have become obsessed with this murder. The poetry of this happening at Keg Bottoms, taking out Jason, this triumph means that at the end of this battle we will know definitively whether Jason killed Kylie or not. It could be yes or no, but we freaking know, so Milo can move on or not. Well, I think he was, but I think there's
01:10:55
Speaker
Well, of course there's more, but there's like more. That's plot for later, man. Yes, because if Jason did, he was hired to do it because that's what's wrong. I'm just looking at all the facts this thing. Let's not spin the triumph on, can we read the end of the book? This triumph is Jason's villainous last speech, where he spills all the pants down. You fools. You fools. No, let's think of something. I would just like to say I'm 100% down with that.
01:11:22
Speaker
Yeah, I want to hear more about that No, is there something about the ivory? Yeah, that's good. It's got to be Yeah, because I have no idea what we're gonna deal with down there So I have no idea how to I can't see down there without my lantern could we do something about that?
01:11:38
Speaker
Could I have a special lantern that doesn't attract ghoulies and ghosties? Well, you'll have the goggles. I'm sure you could see things with the goggles. Maybe I can, but it won't help him. It won't help me. Well, you can't see it on there either, yeah. Well, because the way darkness affects people, elves have darkvision. And darkvision means you can remove up to two setback on perception checks due to lighting. So that's what darkness hinders you on.
01:12:04
Speaker
But also, the bottom of Sharn is also volcanic, so it may not actually be black. Yeah, there's lots of lava. That's a great point. It may not be an issue. That may not be the same. How about did Cassian intimate that he knows exactly where this shard is, or are we looking around for it once we're down there? He is familiar with what he's looking for. He is familiar with it, okay.
Jason's Communication Flaw
01:12:24
Speaker
Yeah, then he'll get to it.
01:12:31
Speaker
I forgot I had that stupid thing. I'm familiar with those three other buttholes. I could just check out where they are before we could. I will be checking out where Vigo is before we go in. Can we use it? It's a free flashback. OK. Yeah.
01:12:52
Speaker
You have a free flashback in your pocket? It's a free flashback. It doesn't it doesn't cost a story point. We have a free flashback to declare. We remembered to do something before we started. Yeah, that's great. OK. I'm good with that. Back at the cauldron. Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Eris would once. We're doing this late in the evening once Harbin has gone. OK. Eris would feel the need to tell all of what's going on tonight. OK.
01:13:23
Speaker
So Eris, I mean, it's super obvious that something is going on, even if you don't know Eris, because Eris is loading up the parts for her Fletcher and strapping on all of them. She's obviously getting ready to do something. Gearing up? Yeah. She's rooting around in a box that says crime stuff. And just because I enjoyed torturing Philip, Eris comes over while Olive has the apparatus on her work table and is tinkering with things. She's a monster.
01:13:54
Speaker
Yeah. Um, we're going to do something tonight that we're going to go try to kill someone tonight. Oh. And it's not really because it's a job. It's because this person has been trying to kill Milo. Okay.
01:14:18
Speaker
Um, so we've, we've arranged an ambush and we're going to try and kill him. Um, it's really bad. He's really bad guy. And I don't feel really bad about killing him. Um, but after that, we're going to be gone for a
01:14:41
Speaker
couple of days, I think, because of a different job, but also to just sort of be off the radar for a bit, because there could be... Is this an important person that you're killing? I don't really know, but he has some house connections.
01:15:03
Speaker
Probably just smart to be off the board for a little bit. That's fair So I don't know whether we'll come back here first, but we're going just a couple days and That's probably also dangerous because that's gonna take us down into the bottom of the city. I Just didn't you know, I just didn't want to disappear I
01:15:29
Speaker
Oh, no. Yeah, I appreciate that. I've got some projects and she kind of gestures at the arms that I'm working on that will keep me busy for the next couple of days. So it's totally, totally fine. Thank you for letting me know. I would have worried. That ain't good. Oh, it's fascinating. It's like.
01:15:47
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of like what you've done with Tasha, but it can manipulate the arms on its own. You can talk to it? If you're strapped into it, yeah, there's a connection that's made. So it's really interesting. I'm just kind of taking it apart and seeing how all of it works before I...
01:16:10
Speaker
Try to strap into it because that would be foolish to just strap into something like this without. Yeah. Yeah. And you'd like, you wouldn't do that until someone was around to sort of spot you in case something went wrong. Um, like maybe someone who has something about elemental binding.
01:16:27
Speaker
Are you saying you want me to wait for you to be here to test this? Yeah. Cause you know, if it like exploded or took over your mind or anything like that, I'll wait for you to arrive. Cause you know, he was sort of big on cutting corners. Yeah. Yeah.
01:16:47
Speaker
I mean, he took my design kind of to the next level with this. So it's fascinating. Yeah. He didn't understand the Fletcher. It always sucks. Oh, that's odd. Okay. So it's definitely not cool in any way. Um, well, be safe. If you need anything, obviously call.
Conclusion and Call to Action
01:17:06
Speaker
Um, I'm here if you need me. So.
01:17:13
Speaker
I'll at least let you know before we go, just so you know everything's okay. Okay, yeah, that'd be great. Yeah. All right. All right. Bye. Bye.
