Speaker
the Airborne Campaign setting. I am your Game
00:00:19
Speaker
Master, Eric. I'm Mia. and welcome to everonder newde national play podcast at the airon campaign setting i am your game master eric am mia I'm Phillip. I'm Madison. I'm Jeff.
00:00:30
Speaker
Welcome to another episode, folks. What happened last time? We were at a fair. We're not that great at introducing he ourselves as a collective.
00:00:42
Speaker
I forgot I was most places that I was. Bought some journals and a guitar. Found out about a town tradition where you steal a longbow.
00:00:54
Speaker
Bet on said longbow theft. I bought a nightlight. It's a lamp. And it's purple. And it's purple. I got upcharge
Planning the Heist
00:01:05
Speaker
for it. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Customization costs money.
00:01:09
Speaker
Now we got to figure out how to steal a bow. That's true. You all were beginning to discuss how to steal a bow and then I hit record. So continue discussing. The trick is this is supposed to be a goodwill trip to the center of town.
00:01:22
Speaker
And we're participating in and a town tradition. The theft of the bow is not the concern for the goodwill. It's the nature of the distraction. got out Yeah, we're supposed to be distracting in other ways.
00:01:38
Speaker
I have grub. Grub can help. Okay, here's what... yes I'm Kazna. Here's what I know about Barcha, who is ah let supposedly the one guarding it.
00:01:52
Speaker
He is a very mission-minded warforged. He's enormous, as you can see.
00:02:01
Speaker
He's... He's not the smartest guy I've ever talked to. But I don't know... I mean, honestly, the main thing I know about him is he's very mission-minded about protecting Kair from another onslaught of angels.
00:02:18
Speaker
And um I don't want to use that particular thing about him against his vigilance because that seems unbelievably mean. But importantly, i have a question about Grub.
00:02:30
Speaker
Grub frequently just sort of melts into shadows. Yes. And he does so while wearing a cape. It's just new.
00:02:41
Speaker
True. That suggests that things on Grub's person go into the shadows with him. I've never thought about that. yeah For instance, a longbow.
00:02:55
Speaker
Okay. We can work with this. So if I can get the bow, I think we haven't talked about this much. I used to steal things all the time. Not...
00:03:08
Speaker
And i I don't know if... I was about to say not for survival, but that would probably make it better. I just did it for fun. I was mainly shoplifting. I was paid very well. Right.
00:03:19
Speaker
This feels more like a shoplifty thing than an assault and grab thing. Oh, yes. If you gave me a couple of days and a budget, I could really, really steal that bow.
00:03:31
Speaker
Boy, i like that bow had never been stolen before, I'm sure. Yeah.
00:03:40
Speaker
The simplest option is, well, simplest, thee is to get a bow that looks about the same way and just swap them. Yeah. Do you have a bow that looks about the same?
00:03:51
Speaker
have longbow. the The tricky part there would be getting longbow to, getting your longbow to these this longbow. I feel like that there's a little more conspicuous at the bow thieving event than the guy showing up with the identical bow.
00:04:09
Speaker
We just have to get everyone looking the other way. It's a trick. right Is that, is the the event
Kaz and Captain Malister Delirander's Negotiation
00:04:17
Speaker
added like a designated time frame? Because we were told that the war for it was fighting people right now.
00:04:26
Speaker
That was what I was hoping to take advantage of. Yeah. It was his penchant for fighting in the pit. Oh yeah. So really quickly i say, Hey, so like is Grub just like around? Like, is that just, is are we just to assume Grub's always kind of around?
00:04:39
Speaker
Yeah. Hey, s Selena, if I give him this, I'll get it back. Right. Holding my guitar. He'll give it back. I hand grub the loot. Cause if he can hold a longbow, he can hold the loot. And I say, make him, make, make him, make him, make him disappear.
00:04:58
Speaker
Just tell him. I think he can't understand us. I don't like the raccoon. Oh. Rude. I don't think you should say that. Grub was Jeff was reminding his co-players that for some reason Cass is saying he doesn't like the raccoon.
00:05:15
Speaker
Okay, Cass. Cass, jeez. Okay. but Was it wast the sausage? are you okay yeah Okay, Grub. Disappear.
00:05:27
Speaker
What happens? It really put me in a pickle having to make a big decision about the nature of Grubb's power. because I'm not worried about the Protect the Bow game. I'm worried about like five adventures down the line when this comes back to bite me in the butt.
00:05:41
Speaker
It could be a once per arc ability. No, I can't because we're about to make him do it. It could be once per arc. He disappears with the loot and then explains that's a once per arc ability. It could be once when it matters per arc ability. I mean, he's a small creature. The bow would be almost double his size. He's big for a raccoon, right? But still, I mean, that's still way too small for a bow.
00:06:02
Speaker
Yeah, he is smaller than a longbow. Talking about Grub while you're holding that little animal in your arms is making me laugh. Makes me feel like there's a raccoon next to me. I will... Here's what will be the deciding factor.
00:06:13
Speaker
I'm going to the wizard in the second edition, 13th Age, Hero's Handbook to see if being able to... teleport items is a ability that familiars can get because if it is then it wouldn't make sense for grub to just be able to do it so let me take a look nope not an ability that a familiar can get so we can say that grub that is grub special ability sure grub can take something with him into the shadows yay so so yes grub disappears with the loot See?
00:06:47
Speaker
It works. can't believe I never tested that. but But this time the cape stays behind. That's only one thing. one thing. Got it. Okay, you can come back now. Nothing happens. Aw, man.
00:06:58
Speaker
He'll come back when he wants to.
00:07:02
Speaker
I guess he should have explained the plan then before he took off with my guitar. Probably. can't. The rat. You don't need it right now, right? You jump as a loud guitar, a lute chord strikes behind you as Grub appears behind you and in a power stance.
00:07:19
Speaker
Yes. Like snatch it out of his hands. Thank you. That worked great. If in my head, Kanan, I could establish that Grub and Acheron get along really well, Acheron could have manifested like pyrotechnics behind Grub.
00:07:34
Speaker
you Talk about a distraction. Okay. And then Grub Climbers back up and onto Selina. If Nyx can distract Barsha with a fight, I can get the bow.
00:07:48
Speaker
I promise.
00:07:51
Speaker
Then it just comes down to how many other people might take advantage of Barsha being in the fighting pits to take that opportunity to get the bow. We can deal with them.
00:08:04
Speaker
We can, sir. Sure. Well, you'll be busy dealing with Barsha, right? Yeah. Only for a time. Oh, goodness. Okay. Okay. I will wait on your go Nix,
00:08:19
Speaker
when the fight starts, I'll wait until he's fully invested in it. And I'll go get that boat. Give it till a little while closer to sunset because closer to sunset we steal it, less time there is that we have to hold on to it. Right. Absolutely. True. If it's still there.
00:08:38
Speaker
Akron's watching it. That doesn't mean it can't be taken. It means Akron will come tell me if it's taken. Then it's much easier because then we just have to find the person who took it. That we can handle. It's true. Yeah, and Akron has spotted a couple people try to sneak up, but there seems to be a sizable amount of people that are dedicated to protecting it, like lingering around.
00:08:56
Speaker
um So nobody's gotten very close to the bow yet. Okay, so are you all just going to kill time at the festival until it gets closer to the end of the day? I am going to tell my friends about this neat thing I saw at the Lady of Stories.
00:09:11
Speaker
er Lady of Tales. Boos. I'm going to say, do any of you sing? Or like to sing? Mix does not answer. Maybe if someone here can sing and is good at it, we can crank up the volume and distract some more people from the bow.
00:09:28
Speaker
Who knows? I don't know. I can't sing. That'd be a charisma check. That's just who were wondering.
00:09:36
Speaker
You all hear loud cheering. Oh! I look over to see who won and how much sausage appears they ate. You see Hendrick in human form having his arm raised up.
00:09:50
Speaker
Yay! I can't believe we missed this! Kaz is so mad. He vomits and turns into a worm. Distraction! Can we get a sense on the platters in front of everybody how much sausage
Valk's Jewelry Negotiations
00:10:01
Speaker
he may have eaten?
00:10:03
Speaker
ah he It looks like he clocked in it at least 25. Oh, man. These are not hot dogs. Yeah, these are like... Yeah, those coils.
00:10:15
Speaker
yeah but Yeah, Hendrick looks rough. but
00:10:22
Speaker
Lighthouse represent! Kaz yells. He lets out a belch. So, team. Anyway, you were going to make your friends do karaoke? ca No, I was going to, I was asking them if they wanted to go to karaoke, assuming there was going to be a rousing chorus of no's. That would the only rousing chorus I got to hear from them.
00:10:42
Speaker
He didn't even get that. Yeah. I appreciate Nix has already volunteered how she's going to help distract. Yeah. No, that's sick. That's great. Is there a jewelry boost? Sure. last him but Someone there is making wire jewelry here.
00:10:56
Speaker
Yes, you see a jewelry booth with hobgoblin, the jeweler. Going to approach the boots. Okay. The hobgoblin looks up at you as you approach. They have the little like tinkers ah magnifier on one eye. And yeah, they look up and say, this is a ah male hobgoblin.
00:11:21
Speaker
Says, hello, ah how can I help you? I am... Well, hello, first. Hello. I'll likely remind myself introduction steps. My name is Valk, and I'm with the lighthouse, that that the house by the river fiddle. Oh, yes, the river fiddle.
00:11:43
Speaker
Yeah. i'm I'm just looking at your wares, if you have any, like, necklaces... ah Yes, I do. I have some very fine necklaces. What type of metal and jewel combo are you interested in?
00:11:58
Speaker
I don't think it particularly matters. It would be more so one that would be able to well hold a spell. very herea at playpo Ah, you're looking for something that can be enchanted.
00:12:11
Speaker
Alrighty. Yes, I have some here and he reaches back and finds a silver necklace with a large amethyst jewel that's set in it, like a pendant.
00:12:26
Speaker
um This has enough surface area to where it should not be too difficult to put some enchanting runes or to cast a spell into the amethyst. This should work quite well.
00:12:37
Speaker
How much is it? This particular one will run you four gold pieces. We'll take that one. Excellent. yeah And as he goes to mark his ledger for the sale, he takes the magnifying thing off and puts on a pair of small wireframe spectacles as he begins to rush.
00:13:01
Speaker
Fantastic glasses. Oh, thank you. ha that's it I was a terrible archer before I put them on. And he chuckles to upset. Okay, you need to see to do that.
00:13:13
Speaker
That's true. Are there any, like, bracelets with, like, a rose quartz? Yes, that's my fault. We should get everything that you want to buy it first, and then I can get you a tool. And he goes down into the counter and pulls up a small box of bracelets, a display-like case of bracelets set in And which kind were you looking for again? Sorry.
00:13:40
Speaker
Maybe silver and worse quartz, but mostly the stone is more of Rose quartz is mine. Yeah. Yes. have This one is copper and rose That's the one I have right now. I can make you something custom if you like. I don't think that's necessary at this point.
00:13:57
Speaker
All right. Here you go. Anything else that you would like to get? Yeah. Any leather bands? Let's see. With like jewels on it or just is more like fine jewelry. i could I could whip something up fairly quickly. I have some some precious stones that I could set into leather. I don't have anything ready to go right now, but I could by the end of the day. It would not take long to to make something like that.
00:14:23
Speaker
What type of stones were you needing in it?
00:14:26
Speaker
Oh, these weren't really, i didn't think for that far enough. it It doesn't... end They're not... I mean, they're gifts, so they're not really... don't have, like, a... All right. What's the nature of the person receiving this gift?
00:14:46
Speaker
Your relationship to them. That's a good question. eat Is it complicated? yeah he've Been there, friend. It's a long story for a different day if you want to listen to that. But that's not what this is. He's...
00:15:02
Speaker
He's having a hard time keeping up to date with the styles. A lot of the fashion of the youngest round. It's like a It's like a co-worker.
00:15:19
Speaker
yeah A coworker friend. All right. No, I could do something. you said he, i could. I could get something together for you ah by the end of the day.
00:15:30
Speaker
i Let's say anything else besides this bracelet, the leather bracelet in the room. Yeah. Could you do like a like a metal or wire cloth?
Kaz's Proposal to House Lyrander
00:15:44
Speaker
with I have some. oze yeah Oh, okay. do those. I'll look at those. And he pulls out a box of those. What type are you looking for?
00:15:55
Speaker
Probably something more plain and it's not going caught on anything. All right. Yes. This one kind of loops firmly around into itself. So there's no lingering hooks that can get caught on anything. And it's it's actually, i have two. One is gold and one is actually steel.
00:16:16
Speaker
you look I'll do this steel one. All right. And then that's it. All right. So for the rose quartz and copper bracelet, the custom leather bracelet, and then the steel wire cuff. let's What?
00:16:32
Speaker
The amulet. ah You already paid for the amulet, so I'm not going to charge you a cap. I will take, let's do seven gold pieces for off-lift. There you go. Thank you very much. And yes, come just come back. ah Probably when they determine if the bow has been stolen and i will have it done for you by then.
00:16:52
Speaker
Okay, thank you. Thank you. will return to the group. All right. I thought of of something. Yeah. I asked Nix, it's open to everybody, but asked Nix for a specific reason.
00:17:09
Speaker
I feel like it might be a good idea for me to go and talk to some people at the house Lyrander tent. If my job is to have informants about extra planar things happening in the world, maybe having the world faring house as a part of that would be helpful.
00:17:32
Speaker
I know that the pirate recruiters will not want to talk to me if I go over there by myself. But if one of you who looks more like a grownup or a warrior or an adventurer would like to come with me, Nyx, that would be awesome.
00:17:46
Speaker
Also, Soleil. House Lirender is not recruiting pirates. I know. sailors I know. Somebody that seems like a young, impressionable young man would, in fact, be probably their prime target for who they would want it top to talk to.
00:18:00
Speaker
Uh... I guess that makes sense too. I wasn't thinking of it that way, but I'm going- only danger of you going over there by yourself isn't so much that they won't be able to talk to you. It won't want be when they talk to you. It's more that they will convince you to become a sailor. I am uninterested in becoming a sailor. This is- You haven't spoken to them yet. This this job is, what are they going to offer me? A job that requires danger and adventure? I am set, thank you. at Danger, adventure, and benefits? The only thing they can offer me that I do not get at my current job is sea sickness. Healthy insurance. I have a bed that does not move back and forth at my current job. Guaranteed salary.
00:18:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, one doesn't suck. we've But we've been doing okay. like They're about to hire Nix as a recruiter. Frankly. I am going to go to the- Low odds of being eaten by an eldritch horror.
00:18:53
Speaker
hey Hey, the ocean is terrifying, my friend. Only under the surface.
00:19:02
Speaker
I'm going to House Lair Andrews 10 to ask if any of them are local, basically. Okay. Yeah, you see, it's just two of them there. They're two fairly young looking half elves.
00:19:17
Speaker
One of them has, the, the man has blonde short cropped hair with golden earring, hoop earrings, and a captain's jacket on.
00:19:28
Speaker
ah The other one is the woman that you saw navigating through the group. She actually has dark brown hair and ah They're both sitting there, and he sees you approaching, Kaz. He's welcome.
00:19:42
Speaker
ah My name's Captain Malister Delirander, Captain McShareless Zephyr, and we're looking for recruits. What's your name? Kazimir. Kazimir Panarius. Hello. Kazimir. Nice to meet you.
00:19:55
Speaker
This is my first mate, Masiya, and we are... yeah What interests you about House Lairander? I'm so sorry. I missed his first name. I got the Lairander because Alistair. Thank you.
00:20:08
Speaker
And does he have just just just wondering, does he have a visible dragon mark? Yes, he does have the mark of the storm. It looks kind of like a neck tattoo. It goes under the collar of his captains. Oh, no.
00:20:24
Speaker
That is cool. I may succumb to that. No, I just say I say, hi Look, I just, I want to be up front. I am not here out of interest of joining up with your organization as a sailor.
00:20:36
Speaker
But I think that we might, with my organization, I'm from the lighthouse. I know that you've never heard of us. Um, but I think that we could be mutually beneficial if you and I were to start a ah a bit of a communication.
Reflections on a Past Mission
00:20:52
Speaker
My organization tracks and neutralizes planar anomalies throughout the continent. We've been to several nations now and have helped stop incursions from several different planes that were threatening the continent. They were threatening Corvair.
00:21:23
Speaker
I'm talking to you because you have possibly the largest reach organization. of any that I could talk, I could come in contact with. Um, we are looking for more opportunities to use our skills and to further protect Corvair from these things.
00:21:45
Speaker
And I assume that you all have decent communication between your ships, at very least your ports of call throughout the continent. And I was hoping that we could start some sort of information channel where if you guys hear some crazy things that can only be attributed to extra planar activity, you have someone local that could get that news to our organization and we could see what we could do about it That's my entire pitch. Thank you.
00:22:13
Speaker
Yeah, it's a good one. yeah If I stopped, i wasn't going to be able to pick the thread back up. So I had to keep going. Yeah, I mean, listen, we're not from around here. We were sent here by the house to do some recruiting at the festival, specifically for our voltage.
00:22:28
Speaker
And so we're we're both pretty young, we're not in any position to like set up an official partnership with house lie render and any other organizations. But I mean, you're, you're right. Like we partner with house civis who sets up communication between all of our various ships and things like that. And back to our,
00:22:47
Speaker
docking stations um and yeah i mean we run into stuff we we mostly have run-ins pirates but pretty confident that those days are behind us and it's nothing but smooth sailing ahead but yeah sure no i mean give me give me a roll kaz okay i'm guess is this charisma yeah with any potential backgrounds you want apply.
00:23:10
Speaker
I mean, unfortunately this is, that's about as honest as cast has ever been. So privileged mission probably doesn't, I don't think I have anything. It's just fate touched. My precocious wisdom thing is only one, but I'll add it.
00:23:24
Speaker
All right. I'll drop that one. Let's get a, let's get a new one. All right. Okay. That's a 19.
00:23:31
Speaker
eighteen Oh, 20, sorry, 20. 20? Okay. funny He kind of nods he says, but I mean, we're always looking for um folks to help out where we can, partners of House Lyrandary, if you don't want to join up on the crew.
00:23:46
Speaker
um
00:23:49
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, if you want to leave your contact information with us, we can definitely set up a line of communication, maybe send word. We have various like sending spells and message and things like that, that we can cast to get word out if we're in need of help.
00:24:06
Speaker
I guess the question would be, what would you want in return if you're offering help to us? I mean, we are, we are also a business, but we are compensated.
00:24:18
Speaker
Terms are negotiable. I have a boss just like you do that would handle that stuff. And I write down, you know, lighthouse, my name, Javier. if I say Athelhampton Manor, a river piddle.
00:24:33
Speaker
Second, started the last straight out till morning, the whole thing. And
00:24:38
Speaker
I say like, I, I, I, it's not altruism. Like we, we do receive payment for these things, but I'm sure that
00:24:50
Speaker
if it was, um if, if it was the sort of thing that was causing enough of an issue that someone would be, that Lairator would be willing to pay for it, at that point, the partnership would begin, if that makes sense.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, the biggest hurdle we're going run into is I mean, it sounds like what you offer a lot is like protection and like dealing with. Dealing with threats and being a dragon marked house. There are other dragon mark houses that also help with that stuff. And there's kind of a, you know, understanding amongst the 12 houses that we will hire each other, but we might find ourselves in a situation where we can't do that. And yeah, we definitely be able to, to rely on you.
00:25:31
Speaker
So. Unless you were interested in a more official partnership and like the lighthouse becoming a affiliate of house lyrander, which is something we do with other organizations, primarily like merchant organizations, but you know, it could be interesting to venture outside of that, but then you become like, a you'd be be under the umbrella of house lyrander, if that makes sense. That would be a decision above my pay grade, but I can tell you, i don't see my boss being.
00:26:00
Speaker
A minute bolder that no. Fair enough. At least not. So do you go out in the, go ahead. So are you like a recruiter for lighthouse? Are you like business manager? Are you a field agent? I am a field agent who recruits when we are not in the field.
00:26:16
Speaker
Interesting. How many field agents do y'all have? We are growing organization. i was say like We have, we have four that I know about. okay. So you all are new startup.
00:26:27
Speaker
I like it. Yeah, you could. You can see some of the work we've done. We get written about, you know, we're not, we're not a secret. So we're, we've been written about in the local paper.
00:26:38
Speaker
Sick. Cool. No, I think, I think I add, unfortunately nothing, nothing that we've done has been coastal has it. So there's something that they may, I mean, they may have heard about the zombies in. Yeah.
00:26:51
Speaker
Kernville because yes that was a pretty big deal. Yeah. I mentioned that I was like, I don't know if you heard about any of the stories about what was going on there. That was, you know, our organization that returned that to normalcy and, Oh, okay.
00:27:06
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I did hear about the stuff going on in Kernville. Uh, just. Yeah. So that was you guys? Yeah. Yeah. Found the necromancer? Look, yeah. Okay. I don't do the best job of of them representing the scope of what we do. I'll be honest. i But we're we're like a legit organization that handles some pretty some pretty heavy stuff. No, that's cool.
00:27:34
Speaker
I would not let Karnath know that you were the guys that put that necromancer in the hands of Kyr, because boy, is he messing them up. He says with a laugh. a What?
00:27:47
Speaker
This is the second time that's been brought up, isn't it? Yes. Barge said it was legal channels and he couldn't couldn't disclose because he's a member of the Chiron military. right Now, Alistair says, no, they like I just heard stories that like there was this weird necromancer in Kernville that basically created a beacon that drew all the undead and the Chiron military got him and now is using him to like mess up the Karnathi like undead armies by like setting up beacons to pull them away from the Babels.
00:28:19
Speaker
Sick! Yeah! I mean, it's crazy. Yeah. Yes, that is because of us.
00:28:32
Speaker
Cass says with the exact amount of enthusiasm that it sounded like he was saying, it does not sound like you knew that's what happened. Look, our job was to make sure that the zombie presence in Kernville that was threatening that I get a man. Yeah.
00:28:46
Speaker
Um, I have exactly as much control over what happens after, Hey, yeah. I'm not a cop, man. Like you're good. Yeah. Well, anyway, you've got my info.
00:29:00
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Good meeting you. You too. And yeah, I'll, I'll be in touch if we need anything. Hey, it was great. You seem bummed out after our conversation and I'm sorry about that. No, it was great meeting you, Alistair.
00:29:15
Speaker
Thank you for your time. Good luck. recruiting people for your ship. Um, and good. luck what What's your, what's your next job? I assume like you're recruiting specifically for this mission or this outing. Well, yeah, I just, I actually, this is my second ship that I've been the captain of and we're, we're recruiting a crew to just start running like merchant jobs for the house at nothing too exciting, just up and down the coast transporting stuff for various nations. So pretty bog standard stuff.
00:29:47
Speaker
right, man. Well, good luck. You too. Yep. And I, I turn around and think that went exactly how I was hoping it was awesome.
00:29:57
Speaker
Good, good, good. Great. Awesome. How did it go? We should talk about a thing that not great to start. Just let's lead with that. Not great. How did you join the did you joined the crew? No, i managed to not I managed to not join the crew. I represented myself. who get it People get impressed. It happens. Yeah. No, what happened was I accurately represented my own self and they did not push too hard for me to join them.
00:30:25
Speaker
Oh, I see. They turned down. And so now, even though you didn't want to join the crew, your feelings are a little bit hurt that they didn't try to manipulate you into joining the crew. No, that's not it either. to die My feelings are hurt. Okay.
00:30:35
Speaker
Here's what's up. I, I, first I explained, I'm like, well, they talked about the houses and how they hire from within each other. And we're probably not going see lot of business from them And then I say, meant to, when I was talking with Barsha, he mentioned something about the necromancer. was his name? Anybody have that off the top? I mean, I know. Not his real name.
00:30:58
Speaker
What I've been calling him. What are you calling him? I'm calling him Dead Lassoff. That's right. You did. I can get his name. It's down there. It's somewhere in here. but i have i have the most unhinged and disorganized notes from this campaign so far.
00:31:18
Speaker
Lazar? Yeah, I was going to say. That was Taurus? No. Taurus. It's Taurus. It was Taurus. Yeah. Yeah, see you. Sure. ye Yeah, one of my notes for this campaign just says, Kayla, changeling whiskers. It's fine.
00:31:34
Speaker
i left I mean, I do actually know what that one is referring to. It doesn't matter. I don't. you fact caleb Kayla, the waitress, was a changeling at the bar where there was the cat named Whiskers that has something going on.
00:31:48
Speaker
ah We never did learn about that cat.
Executing the Heist
00:31:51
Speaker
yeah The weird cat. all on instagram like chat It was on our way. you might not i was not there. i was to say you you You the player might not have been there for that. yeah It was on the way to Pella's watch. yeah that thing Anyway, I say, so Taurus, the necromancer from Kernsville?
00:32:07
Speaker
Yeah. and Apparently, the we basically what we did was we identified for the Chiron military a new asset.
00:32:19
Speaker
right And now he is setting up the same attracting beacons that brought them all to Kernville throughout the countryside to disrupt Carnathi military operations using their... gave him to the Kyran government.
00:32:35
Speaker
That I don't know. Certainly not us. Did we just leave him to be prosecuted? Yeah. We left him to the town. Yeah. Wow. yeah Should have just killed him.
00:32:48
Speaker
I hate that I think you're right, but... That's the problem with large institutions. so I feel like we We can only see the advantage. Yeah. It's good thing our institution is small and not expanding in any sort of large way.
00:33:05
Speaker
It might begin to seek power and advantage. and I've certainly yet to see the opportunity for advantage in our group. That's true. Right. Yeah.
00:33:16
Speaker
So that sucked to hear. Barsha, to be clear, Barsha didn't tell me that much. Barsha just made mention that he had heard about our work through Chiron government channels. And then Alistair Delirander over there, the one with the neck tattoo, told me that- I think it's a dragon mark.
00:33:36
Speaker
Oh, crud, really? That's so cool. I didn't even realize that I got the further information from him. so i see. Yeah.
00:33:48
Speaker
I figure I'll let Javier know. and i mean, i don't know what to do. There's nothing to do about it. It just kind of sucks to hear. Next time, kill him. Well, certainly, there's there's lessons to be learned, but there's nothing to do about it. Man, Karnath must hate us. She must have.
00:34:04
Speaker
Yeah. have I wish I could say... We got rid of we got rid of one problematic Chiron military asset and unfortunately unleashed another one. That's what it seems like.
00:34:17
Speaker
I would be interested to find out where they're placing the beacons. If it's just to draw the zombie troops to them to disrupt, that's one thing. If it's to draw zombie troops to...
00:34:31
Speaker
a place where they can do more or more strategic damage, that sucks. And I'm sure it's that one because... Oh, yes. If you draw them... you draw them far enough away... to Eric interrupt me if I say something wrong. I think this is true. If you draw them far enough away from the military necromancers, then they just go back to their...
00:34:57
Speaker
instincts So if you drew a large group of undead away from their military camp, out of range of control of their handlers, then sure, you can absolutely draw them into a Carnathy village and they would do what you would expect zombies to do.
00:35:15
Speaker
I was really hoping that they would just fall down dead again, but sounds like that's not what you mean. Yeah. so The problem is even killing him is probably not a solution at this point because they'll have probably worked out how to do it by this point.
00:35:29
Speaker
He didn't even know how to do it, right? Like he did it wrong. That's why this happened. But I guess. Right. So they'll have have him. Yeah, exactly. They'll have him repeat theel of presumably having him repeat the experiment until they can work it out how it works.
00:35:42
Speaker
Repeatably. And then they don't need him anymore. Don't worry. Carnath will make some advance in undead in the undead magic before too long and neutralize it with worse and deadlier undead.
00:35:55
Speaker
thank Sounds about right. You prefaced that with don't worry, but I gotta tell you, didn't work. This is yeah kind of taking the wind out of the sails of my bow thieving, but I suppose I'm still gonna try it. Yeah, you got Grub all excited, so we have to try it now. ah that is the essential function of this day, is to distract the people of this town from the fact that the world is burning down outside their borders.
00:36:25
Speaker
Yeah, no, you're right. Where's the sun, Eric? Thanks for the thumbs up. Yeah, mostly Nix is just waiting for the sun to be low enough that there are good long shadows that Grubb can use.
00:36:36
Speaker
Yeah, he just... Yeah, I mean, we'll see. If you all aren't... seeking do and It's winter still, so... Yeah. It shouldn't be too late. Yeah. the The shadows are starting to get long. It's starting to become later in the day.
00:36:49
Speaker
Nyx is obviously not a festival girl, so if anybody's got other things they want to do, hit it. But once we're ready to pull the trigger on the bow heist, Nyx is going to go pick a fight with Barcha in the fighting pit.
00:37:00
Speaker
Let's do a heist. yeah I was like, I don't want to do any more shopping because I don't have access to my bank account. a but You have a bank account?
00:37:12
Speaker
Zauk is the museum director. doesn't money get it They require direct deposit when you take that job. Did we discuss if we were going to try to replace the bow with a decoy something are we just grabbing it and giving it to... i think we're just taking it giving it to Grub and letting Grub disapparate with it, right?
00:37:33
Speaker
Seems like a plan. Yeah. that Okay. But first, distraction. Right. and Nix is going to wander over to the sparring pit. Okay.
00:37:44
Speaker
You see Barcha is currently sparring with a drow. any worse does he Wait, are we supposed to be on the lookout for drow? Someone's supposed to be on to lookout for drow. we Is it all of us? I can't i can't remember who who heard it. I was told I was Gez.
00:38:00
Speaker
Oh, the ones that are working. I got the name wrong. Sulatar. Sulatar. no Yeah. Okay, then in that case, Nyx just watches. If Barcha is sparring with a drow, Barcha is the one who told me to look out for drow. If this seems like a frenzy sparring, I assume we're okay. No.
00:38:20
Speaker
That's fair. Hendrick is the one that told you to look out for drow. Oh, was he? That's right. His murder board. Oh, right. The murder board. don't know. Well, Hendrick is here too. He's just sausage blind currently.
00:38:33
Speaker
He's just yarking in ye old port-a-potty right now. So yeah. The...
00:38:41
Speaker
i The drow actually gets the better of Barcha. Manages to get behind him and like kicks one of his knees out from under him. And you see, it there appears Nyx to be a scoring system based on where you land the strikes with your wooden weapons.
00:38:56
Speaker
And something about the... Wood. Two... The two small curved wooden blades that the drow is wielding as they hit Barch on either side of the neck.
00:39:07
Speaker
The officiant calls the match and says, the winner is Delzhen Set. Delzhen Set is the winner of this match.
00:39:19
Speaker
Next up, who would like to spawn next? Who's in the pit is now is Delgen holding the police. Okay. They, they both step out. It seems like a couple of people will agree like, Hey, let's spar and then go in there and fight each other kind of thing.
00:39:35
Speaker
Okay. Nick's well there, where, where are the weapons? There's a rack wooden weapons near the opening where you walk into the pit. Okay, Nyx walks in and selects a decent wooden sword. And the announcer asks as Nyx steps through a new fighter. What's your name? Nyx.
00:39:56
Speaker
We have Nyx joining the sparring circle. Nix walks into the sparring circle. Nix looks directly at Barcha and is going to just tilt her head to one side, lets her and, and just reaches out for For Shavroth and lets her horns elongate her, her pupils slit the wrong direction and will just allow Barcha to see the very decidedly infernal side of herself.
00:40:42
Speaker
Barcha kind of like nods as Nyx transforms and he says, right then, so breath is here, I suppose. And he laughs as he walks over to the wooden rack and grabs a large wooden, like two handed war hammer.
00:41:00
Speaker
I understand you have some expertise dealing with the other end of this spectrum. And I do. She grins.
00:41:14
Speaker
Let's see how I do against your type. And before you all can get started, the officiant says, all right, two minutes to place bets on Barcher versus Nyx. Two minutes to place bets. So Nyx is putting on a show. she lets She lets the scales run down her right arm.
00:41:32
Speaker
she is i would like to attempt to draw a crowd ideally people who are watching the bow barcha is also like doing some forms with his war hammer to kind of like seeing nix kind of playing up to the crowd trying to engage and he says so where you where have you fought here and there Ah, never in uniform. Interesting.
00:42:00
Speaker
Do it for the love of the sport, then, he says with a grim chuckle. Institutions will always disappoint you. Use you. Lie to you. Well.
00:42:13
Speaker
Dispose of you. Nice that you have the option. Yeah, the two minutes are up. There's a pretty sizable crowd that has gathered around. Give me a charisma check, Nyx, to see how big of a show you could put on.
00:42:24
Speaker
Okay. Plus charisma, plus Shavarath touched. Sure. Plus my level. So, plus Nyas touched.
00:42:36
Speaker
26. Oh, wow. Yeah. So yeah, there's a very large crowd that has begun to gather. A lot of the booths have cleared out of their attendance to come watch this fight as people start like muttering about the, the fight that's about to happen in the sparring circle.
00:42:53
Speaker
And yeah, I will say the, the vast majority of people that were kind of gathered around the bow have turned to begin looking. All right. So Nix is providing the distraction. What's everyone else doing for the heist?
00:43:05
Speaker
can i Can I say that during so during that bit of Nick's walking up and everything leading up to it, including the two minutes of betting time, Kaz has been talking with Ecker on about, yeah okay, what's happened to other... Has anyone tried to steal it yet? If so, like who stopped them? like Who are the guys in the crowd I need to worry about?
00:43:27
Speaker
Nice. Yeah. Akron points out there is a old dwarf that... Weak knees. hate Akron.
00:43:41
Speaker
Yeah, an older dwarf, and then... why not? Bamani also. Bamani is being someone that is trying to protect her though. Already possessed. Okay.
00:43:53
Speaker
Those are the two big ones you got to look out for. I think... In that case, I'm going to say, unless... Selina and Val, do you guys have ideas of what you want to do during this?
00:44:04
Speaker
I'm nearby with Grub, ready to do whatever. I have the ability to force a group to go along with one idea.
00:44:18
Speaker
The tall woman thinks she's a good guy. If you were to behave as a child in distress, she would be easily fooled. Or you could put a child in distress. I was just going to have Selena talk to her about Argonessent. I know, Bumati, she's got a focus that we can exploit. Yep.
00:44:36
Speaker
Valka's using Tome of the Hive. As a back. I'm also coordinating with Grub about how I'm... like My best guess is Grub is in my adventure bag with me.
00:44:47
Speaker
Perfect. I run... The bow is on a pole. Yes, it's elevated. that yeah Yes. yeah like You have to climb up onto the platform to get it. So it it exposes you pretty, pretty severely.
00:45:01
Speaker
I'm going the plan is I'm going run up the platform, grab the bow, immediately hand it to Grubb as he leaps out of my bag into a shadow and is gone. Okay.
00:45:13
Speaker
As you are approaching from your adventurous bag, you hear faint like, let's do this. ah No, intense, like walking music from the lute that's in there as Grubb is like, Grubb, my man, I love the spirit.
00:45:29
Speaker
Also teach me that song. Also a little loud for stealth missions. The the music stops, but you feel sadness from the back. Hey man, no, the spirit is there. I think that was great. I just, you know, like we want to win, right?
00:45:44
Speaker
Little thumb up come out of the bag. Okay. So I'm, i that i've I'm ready rock when it's my turn, but I want to hear what obviously everybody else is doing it. If they're doing So I have wizards cantrips. If we want to do something with any of those like mage hand or anything like that.
00:46:02
Speaker
Yeah. Mage hand that bow off its hook. That's what i was thinking. Yeah. Would I be needed at that point? To be close with Grub. You just lost your job. know Automation. Everyone's just like, guys, we can just do this without you, man.
00:46:18
Speaker
Cool. off and welcome No, bu you have to approach because it looks like you're the one that's going to get the bow, but it's a misdirect. Grub is actually the thief. Yeah, I guess i could I could use my high dexterity to just provide an acrobatic distraction of looking like I'm going to. Yeah, that's fair. What's what's your um what's what's your modifiers for a magic spell? What do you add to a roll?
00:46:43
Speaker
I don't know. Your intelligence. Oh, great. what you ah Intelligence plus backgrounds. Yeah, I have arcane training as a background. So, mage hand.
00:46:54
Speaker
Whoa, shit.
00:46:58
Speaker
Just seeing how it works in this system. At best, it's about half as strong as the wizard's own strongest hand. Okay. So feel like half of s Selena could pick up a bow. I think so. She's not the strongest, but she could manage that. Okay. So is the plan that Selena is just going use mage hand to kind of knock it off the hook so that Kaz can throw grub at it to grab it or like, what's the, what's the synergy?
00:47:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. yeah I'm asking you. If I could, so if it can come off the hook and then I can get just, instead of having to climb the pole to get it, run and retrieve it off the platform and youll still be able to use my dex and mischief to do that and then hand it off to Grubb and Grubb takes off it. Are the dwarf and Bimani together or are they separated?
00:47:44
Speaker
They're kind of separated. they're They're standing in the crowd. They seem to be... therere They're not too interested in watching the fighting. stupid But they're they're relatively close together.
00:47:55
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, that was my question. That has to be within a group. And I can only do three right now. What level are we? Three.
00:48:06
Speaker
Yeah, level three. Yeah.
00:48:10
Speaker
What spell are you looking to do? It's the book. But it just says once the owner of this book convinces or forces a group.
00:48:22
Speaker
So that's the thing. That gets unlocked. So you don't have that ability yet. Well, never mind. Yeah.
00:48:31
Speaker
Yeah. And they are not a reluctant ally. So no. So.
00:48:36
Speaker
What's the plan? I wonder if I could talk the money into going to talk to house Lyrander about trip to Argonesson together. I don't trying get the money off of it. And the only thing I know about her is her current fixation on her recruiting people to go to our, I can outrun a dwarf. I can't outrun. but I've already started fighting. So I don't know, I know that's, that is true.
00:49:00
Speaker
that that is true
00:49:03
Speaker
We may just need to go for it and hope the rolls get us there. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, Nyx, go ahead and give me a, a combat roll. Okay. That is 17. 17. Yeah. You're in able to land a strike on Barcha and the crowd cheers loudly.
00:49:25
Speaker
So the fighting has begun. what What are we doing gang? All right. I just go for it. I think we just got to go for it. Unless, unless Mia's thought of something else that can do to grease the wheels a little bit. I know that's a lot of character sheet to look at real fast. And my magic is not traditional. Yeah.
00:49:42
Speaker
what to it So keep mind, you can also use your backgrounds as a skill check and it be casting a spell or using your magic. It doesn't have to be like a spell listed on your character.
00:49:54
Speaker
Like you wanted to use Zoriath to turn the ground into mouths or something. ah Yeah, that's the thing. We weren't going to try to... Yeah. harmed or than it anyone and like yeah well Also, don't forget, some of you still have your iconic relationships to be used for this arc.
00:50:15
Speaker
Yeah, mine is gone. I don't think I rolled one this arc. I used mine. I have mine. smell This is something we enacted in an instant. Nyx is currently fighting.
00:50:28
Speaker
think we might just have to go for it. yeah I think so. So new plan is you start, you you use your Mage Hand and as soon as I see it start to drop off the pole, I'm going to run up, try to intercept it, louis just making it an easier path to it than having to also climb plat.
00:50:46
Speaker
And I will immediately, as I've got it, I give Grubb the go, he opts out of my sack and I just hand it to him and he takes off Perfect. Would I be able to use Zoria magic to visually duplicate the bow?
00:51:00
Speaker
You could certainly try. I will try that. Give me a intelligence based check with your Zoriat background. There's too many dabs. I'd say an 18 and then I have an additional plus two for my race.
00:51:16
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. 20. So kind of in an instant, a Selena, use Mage Hand to knock the bow off its hook and casts a spell to make it look like the bow is still hanging on the hook with an illusion.
00:51:33
Speaker
We're going to give the dwarf and Bumani a chance to roll to see if they notice. <unk> That's a very bad roll. That's an even worse roll. Hold a natural eight and a natural five.
00:51:46
Speaker
he So. Okay. So the bow falls off the hook. Kaz. Okay. I am going to rush up. Give me a dexterity check to try and do this either quickly or stealthily.
00:51:59
Speaker
You tell me what you're doing. It really depends on if our, is Bumati, our Bumati and the dwarf actively watching the bow, like based on what looking then it would be quick. You're looking in that direction, but Val has created an illusion to where it looks like the bow is still up there.
00:52:13
Speaker
I guess stealthily, I guess I'll try it stealthily. That feels more among the privileged, that gives me a better reason add my privileged mischief background to it. Okay. I'm guessing you're not to let me get with fey touch for no reason other than I would like to. Yeah. Just please.
00:52:28
Speaker
Because I have all these points to add, I'd like to do it. Okay. So I'm adding 10 to this. Been rolling poorly. Okay. 25. Okay. Let me see. Give them each a roll to see if they notice you.
00:52:42
Speaker
Oh, Bamadi sees everything. I don't know if you had needed me to roll for that Mage Hand, but I got a 20. Mage Hand b okay ma cha being a cantrip doesn't really require a roll. It's just something you're able to do. Okay, Kaz. So are you still grabbing the bow and handing it off to Grub? is that the plan?
00:52:59
Speaker
um If I can grab it... If I can grab it and stay in shadow to where i can just hand it to Grub and he can melt away, that would be great. If I've got to move with it a bit, I probably will hold onto it until I can hand it to Grub.
00:53:14
Speaker
Give me a wisdom check to see what Kaz notices about his environment. You've got it. A wisdom check. Can I add my mission to this as well?
00:53:27
Speaker
This is all in the service of stealing a thing. Thank you. the season Because, because, oh, no. Well, it's not bad. 17. 17, natural one.
00:53:38
Speaker
You see out of the corner of your eye, she is trying to be nonchalant about it, but the Monty is moving through the crowd towards Kaz. She's trying to, like, catch up to Kaz as you're walking away with the bow. Okay, yeah, then it's handoff time. Okay. Okay.
00:53:55
Speaker
Grubb's hands like come out of the adventure sack. Yep. Grab it, and then Shadow coalesces, and he disappears. Why not? With the adventure back. and Your whole bag disappears.
00:54:08
Speaker
yeah He was wearing it. My journal was in there.
00:54:15
Speaker
Gonna create an interesting new wrinkle where anything Grub is touching also goes with it. So yeah. And then as your bag disappears, Amani breaks into a jog to come after Kaz. Can i try to intercept and bump into her?
00:54:29
Speaker
Sure. Did the duplicate work? Yeah, it did. There is a duplicate still hanging on the hook, but Bamani just saw Kaz walk up and grab something. Right. And so she probably like took another look at the illusion and kind of realized that something fishy was going on.
00:54:44
Speaker
Got it. Okay. I mean, I can look at Bamani and honestly say, i don't know where this bow is. So it's very true. I mean, I'm perfectly happy. Like the nature of the game is to steal the bow. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm happy to talk to Bamani.
00:54:58
Speaker
But all this is happening at once and Valk has expressed an interest to try and intercept the money. Fair enough. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, I mean, it was an option. This is... I don't think that far ahead is Valk, so... Nope. Yeah. Go for it.
00:55:15
Speaker
Yeah. I will try to... Give me a dexterity or strength-based check with anything related to physical exertion from a background standpoint. I do not have any of that. case eating That would be Yeah, no, as as soon as you like try to get in Bimani's way, Bimani kind of like uses the momentum of you all making contact to kind of spin around you and like not break her stride. There you go.
00:55:45
Speaker
Anyone else doing anything?
00:55:49
Speaker
Makes us busy. It's true. Yeah, good point. Uh, that's a natural one from Barcha. Barcha whiffs trying to hit you next.
00:55:58
Speaker
And yeah, give me a dexterity check. Are you trying to get away from her Kaz or you just going to stop now that the bag's gone? I feel like if the bag is gone. Although she definitely seems like the kind of person who can like wave some fairy fire around. The longer she's chasing you, the less time she's looking for raccoon. That's a good point. I will probably, I think instinct will kick in and I still am trying to get away. Yes.
00:56:22
Speaker
Okay. So give me, give me a check to, to either run into the crowd or run around a corner, like whatever Kaz is going to try to do. Um, cause her to grow a tail. Yeah.
00:56:34
Speaker
Yeah. Right. So a third arm will stop her. I think I will try tune to, is it like, it's like a midway kind of where all the tents are and you can kind of sneak around just the side of one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think that's the plan.
00:56:50
Speaker
Try to duck off the midway using dexterity. So yeah, that's a 23. Okay. so Yeah. You start weaving through. Probably Akron has the best vantage point from atop his tent to see Bamani like rounding corners and trying to find Kaz, but Kaz is able to duck, duck around.
00:57:13
Speaker
Probably at one point, Kaz, you get the sense that Amani is like right on your tail and about to get you. And so Kaz ducks into the back of one of the tents and you you like pop through some canvas right into the middle of a crowd, scream singing a song at the karaoke. I get knocked down, but I got to finish. Kaz just joins in. He knows this one. It's Naldi.
00:57:35
Speaker
He was around for this. And yeah, give me one more combat check. Nyx, 18. 18? eighteen That is still enough to get Barcha. So yeah, the crowd goes wild and you all hear the crowd cheering as the announcer and officiant declares Nyx the winner of the spar and people start like cheering or cursing as they're exchanging coins from the bets and and things like that.
00:57:58
Speaker
And Barcha grabs Nyx's wrist and raises it up in a gesture of victory. Nyx is no longer trying to impress the crowd. So... but Sort of...
00:58:11
Speaker
resting scowls at the crowd. if bads
00:58:19
Speaker
Should have given a fake name. i does help A different fake name. Yeah. And Bart just extends a hand to shake it with Nick. This is shift wins this is just graceful winner. She shakes hands.
00:58:34
Speaker
The drow is kind of waiting at the entrance of the sparring circle and looks at Nyx and says, up for another round? Sure.
Celebrating Success
00:58:45
Speaker
The crowd seems to love you.
00:58:47
Speaker
I don't know why you said it like that. yes Just a statement of fact.
00:58:55
Speaker
and Lots of ways to state facts. pe And he steps past you into the sparring circle and squares up. Oh, we have another, we have another bout.
00:59:06
Speaker
We have. Let find my page again. I lost it. We have Delgen versus Nyx. And yeah, ah you hear muttering as bets get to start getting thrown around.
00:59:21
Speaker
Nyx, living in the chapel, as long as you have, you've probably seen enough iconography to instantly recognize. Delgen is wearing like leather armor that has the symbols of both Kolkoron and the fury.
00:59:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:59:39
Speaker
