Introduction and podcast setup
00:00:00
Speaker
It's not the way of stopping we need a way of stopping we should come up with a way of stopping.
00:00:32
Speaker
Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum Draconis. We are a live play 5e D&D podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of Aerith in the Kingdom of Sleetguard. My name is Mark, and I am the Dungeon Master. And also with us for this week's episode, we have Callum, who plays the Warforged Artificer Alpha. Hello! We've got Daron, who plays the High Elf Artificer Rain's Head out.
00:00:53
Speaker
Hadley Ho, Ian who plays the tiefling warlock, Nyx Corral, god I feel tiredy high, and Danny who plays the half-orc monk, Moro to Broken Dusk.
Wood-whittling absence and tech troubles
00:01:02
Speaker
Unfortunately we don't have Will with us today. He had to take part in his wood-whittling competition that takes place in the northwest of Scotland. He will be back in a couple of weeks time, I promise. He specialises in phallic objects.
00:01:17
Speaker
Be good and dildo. No, I'm surprised. You can also use them like bongs. You can use your tongue. And Callum is doing that right now, so if this is a video podcast you'd be able to see it.
00:01:33
Speaker
Also, no one else apart from those of us in the podcast know this, because we use Inkasto as you hear at the beginning of every episode, and we have the video function as well, so we can see everyone. Now, Ian, I can see Head, Shoulders, and a little bit of his arms, you know. Darren, I can see Head, Shoulders, Mike, I can see a bit of his, you know.
00:01:50
Speaker
Danny, I can see, you know, up to like navel, middle. Good bit of torso with him. With Callum, I can barely see his chin. It's like he's a halfling looking over a bar. And all we see is like, thanks, lips upwards.
00:02:06
Speaker
You do have a very shit camera placement for someone so technically minded. I used to be technically minded. I've not been technically minded for a while. You look like a shit Steve Jobs because it looks like you've got a turtleneck thing going on. Is it because you tweak your nipples throughout the entire episode and you don't have to see?
00:02:26
Speaker
Well, no, if I were going to do that, I'd want you to see. That's the difference.
Cedric's tales and sponsorship hints
00:02:32
Speaker
He hasn't changed his camera placement, by the way, listeners throughout this. He's stuck with it. Oh, he's doing it. That's the worst. This has been a staple camera. Oh, God. He's gone horrifically wrong. For three years now, you've just given us just head.
00:02:52
Speaker
That's all you're looking for.
00:03:08
Speaker
through the means of the interwebs to get your guests across or maybe a D&D type podcast. Zencaster is a really good one to go for, so check them out. And if you wanted an external link to follow, if you get in touch with me on Twitter, I can give you one and we might get a little kickback for doing so, but we haven't officially announced that yet.
00:03:27
Speaker
that could be coming in the next few weeks. It's all happening here at the Fellowship HQ. What happened last week? Well, it's a good point, but I also just wanted to quickly mention on that as well that you know the little voice at the beginning that says Made in Sennkärster? I hear, I might be wrong, a rumour that that is actually our own Will, our one-shot Willbot, doing that voice.
00:03:53
Speaker
I don't know if it's true or not. He does get around. He does get around so much. I can't confirm or deny, but, you know, I heard this too. It's a very high-pitched voice, the total, if you remember. I heard this too, on the London Underground, no doubt. So, you know, it's possible. It must be true. It must be true if it's in the London Underground. Good Lord.
00:04:10
Speaker
Well, that's a very good question though, Ian. You posthumously asked me about what happened in last week's episode of the Fellowship of
The Fellowship's recap and reunion
00:04:15
Speaker
the Tabletop. For that, hopefully, I'm hoping I can do this because I haven't actually asked. Yes, he's nodding his head vociferously and baring his teeth, which means big old fat yes. We're going to Danny our chronicler for an update on what happened in last week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop.
00:04:30
Speaker
In the last few pages of our adventure, our not-yet-heroes, the original five, reunited in a sea of confusion. Marota and Nyx, under the employment of Vordaunt, appeared at Goldport Keep, much, much to the bemusement of Alpha, Rains, and Emron.
00:04:55
Speaker
Not believing the eyes at first, the passage of six months between the events of Nix and Marotta's certain but uncertain death caused great confusion between both parties within the party. Still unsure, still confused, and still trying to piece the last six months together and trying to understand the breadth of these emotions,
00:05:24
Speaker
The party tend to other matters a poor keep, as Rains welcomes the defeated servants of Vourndant to the keep and offers them employment and a home. Mistrust, however, is rife in the air.
00:05:46
Speaker
The large hall of Goldport Keep seems to now have the most number of people in it, it's had in quite a while.
Goldport Keep's lively introduction
00:05:56
Speaker
Gideon Blackthorn, the burly short bearded person that was rescued from the Von Dens. Von Dens' oath turns over a few of the flipped tables and chairs and graphically starts kind of clearing up and sweeping down areas. Alpha,
00:06:14
Speaker
Emron, sorry Alpha, Nix, Rains and Marota are kind of stood up near the kind of bar area where the drinks are being held whilst Isilda and Lassandra, two of the other Oath Keepers, are sorting out their quarters at the end of last episode. They're going out to sort out a place for them to sleep in one of the empty spaces of the Keep.
00:06:37
Speaker
Meanwhile, Cedric is holding court. He's pouring drinks and serving food and keeping everyone entertained with tales of his latest escapades. He leans over to Alpha. Picture this, Alpha.
00:06:53
Speaker
A fateful night in a dimly lit tavern, the air thick with the scent of stale ale and the echoes of rowdy laughter, I find myself entangled with a precarious situation facing off against the bastard, a burly half-hawk with a penchant for mayhem and an ugly halfing, a cunning rogue, but he only had one arm. He mustn't have started the gravity of my predicament. The bastard's temper was fiery and his dragon's breath and the ugly halfling's tricks were sharper than a rogue's dagger. But did I cower in fear?
00:07:23
Speaker
Nay, my friends, I unleashed my legendary charm and quick wit, spinning tales that would make even the gods themselves marvel. As the ale flowed, the night grew darker. I found myself engaged in a drinking contest with the bastard, with each tankard emptied. I regaled to him tales of wrestling a mighty rock atop the mountain vortymus, armed wrestling an ogre in the renowned Thunderbrawers tavern, and surviving the perilous plunges of the fiery depths of Mount Volancrum.
00:07:49
Speaker
Meanwhile, the ugly halfling, a halfling, ever the slight trickster, challenged me to a high-state game of cards. Little did he know I had honed my gambling skills with the enigmatic Zephyr tribe, a group of nomads who roamed the vast deserts of Illidria, with a flick of a wrist and a mischievous smile I had withered him, and every turn, leaving him dumbfounded with one arm short of luck, because he only had one arm. Meanwhile, by the end,
00:08:15
Speaker
The victory was mine, my friends. The bastard in a rare display of sportsmanship conceded defeat while the ugly halfling begrudgingly admired my prowess. The tavern resigned with cheers as patrons and
00:08:30
Speaker
other folk raised their tankards to toast the legendary Cedric Windrider, the bard whose tales could rile the stars in their brilliance. And so I left the tavern unscathed and triumphed, leaving the bastard in our ugly halfling, nursing their wounded pride. Tales of that fateful encounter spread like wildfire through the realm, earning me the moniker, Cedric the Unstoppable. And sure, my stories would be told for generations to come. So raise your tank of time, my friends.
00:09:00
Speaker
Let us toast to the audacious exploits of Cedric Windrider. The body's tails are as captivating as the shimmering constellations above. May his legendary adventures continue to entertain and inspire us all. Insight check.
00:09:16
Speaker
You dig? What? I loved that. That was fantastic. For what it's worth, I think Alpha at this stage, loving stories, loving adventure. He's probably almost like a child on the edge of his seat right now, literally just poised real forward, gripping tight, waiting for the next awesome paragraph of this adventure, the next fable to be
Cedric's storytelling continues
00:09:38
Speaker
told. All right, go on, give me your insight check then. Gladly.
00:09:45
Speaker
You meanie. Absolutely. I hope you fail. Nineteen. Bollocks. Yeah, it's all fucking bunch of lies. Everything you said is absolutely bollocks. Just sorry. I got lost in the talk about bastards and ugly halflings with one eyes. We're raising the toast to who? Meet Cedric Windrider, the unstoppable.
00:10:14
Speaker
Oh, that's you. I was one arm, not one eye. One arm. Yeah, one arm. I rode with one arm, you see, not with one eye. Yes, please listen, Dad. This story is amazing. I've got many more. I've got loads I could tell you, I'm sure. Please do. Picture this. Are you going to let me do this? Yep. Alfred's listening with everything that he's got.
00:10:36
Speaker
a fabled tavern nestled among the mystical forests of Everwood, its patrons a motley crew of warriors and rogues. It was here I find myself, Cedric Windrider, the bard of unrivaled charm and wit, facing a challenge of...
00:10:51
Speaker
epic proportions. On that eventful night, the tavern was abuzz with the whispers of a legendary swordsman known as the Crimson Blade. His reputation was that of a warrior possessed by a burning fury, undefeated and untamed his adversary, a one-eyed sorceress called Winterlight.
00:11:11
Speaker
wielded arcane powers that could freeze the very air around her. It was said that anyone foolish enough to challenge her, or this fearsome duo, would have met a swift and gruesome death. But his fate would have it. I, Stedrick Windrider, stood undeterred to the daunting task before me, with my lute in my hand, fling, and he pulls out the lute at this point, and I mischievous gleam in my eye. I stepped into the tavern stage, ready to weave a tale that would inspire the gods themselves.
00:11:41
Speaker
As the crimson blade and winter light stood and approached me, their eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and a little bit of attraction and also a bit of skepticism, I began my performance. I regaled the gathered cry of the tales of my exploits, legendary encounters with the dragon at crimson peaks. I had witted a cunning sphinx at the serpent's riddle and my valiant stand against the necromancer, the
00:12:04
Speaker
vile necromancer in the haunted ruins of Grimhold Castle, with each word that left my mouth, that left my lips imbued in enchanting melody.
00:12:15
Speaker
As the air grew thick with anticipation, I challenged the crimson blade to a duel of wit and skill. With a flourish in my lute, I held it from the head end, pointing it like a heavy stick to twat upon his head. I unleashed a melody, free upside down, which echoed through the tavern, casting a spell of enchantment upon all the onlookers. Though without the magic, just my talents, I weave a web of illusions, daring the formidable swordsman to challenge my steps to the astonishment of all.
00:12:41
Speaker
He accepted, his blade glinting in the dim candlelight, in a dance of steel and music, to-cha, to-cha, being dazed, to-cha, to-cha, surpass moral comprehension, each swing of his sword with mep of the nimble, dodge in a bring, play of the loose, accompanied by the wretch of retort from one of my lips.
00:12:59
Speaker
Well, just from my actual lips, oh god. The cried gasped. In awe, I skillfully maneuvered the battlefield around us, this tavern moving left, right, up, down, parry, up, down, G chord, and my melodies intertwining with a clash of metal, creating a symphony of heroism and gorgeous melody. And then, with a final thunderous D sharp, I unleashed a wave of energy that set the Crimson Blade staggering to his knees. In a moment of vulnerability, I extended a hand.
00:13:29
Speaker
camaraderie, inviting him to join me in a toast of our shared love of adventure and pursuit of the greatness. His icy gaze softened, and with a nod of respect, he accepted. And then I hit him on the head anyway! Ha-ha! Brilliant. Fantastic. Well done. Please don't make me do that again. I'm sweating from places I didn't know I could sweat. That's incredible. Incredible. Alice, can you award yourself inspiration? I think I just get to do what I like anyway. I think that's a fair point.
00:13:59
Speaker
So, you wanted another story, Alpha. That has been another story. Are you insight-checking this as well, or do you not need to? No, I've got the measure of the fact that this person's probably talking shit. I don't need to. Now, Alpha, you still look amazed, though. Would you like another beverage? I'm sorry. I don't drink. I would love more stories. What happens at Grimhold Castle? Our story unfolds in the bustling Grimhold Castle.
00:14:28
Speaker
I'll just be me doing these stories over there. Okay, we assume that you could do this all day and we'd all have a great time. But honestly, you said something about a special type of skill that wasn't just telling stories that would make you a real fine addition to Goldport Keep.
Alpha's heat resistance discussion
00:14:50
Speaker
Consider this your chance to enlighten us. I can play fantastic music.
00:14:59
Speaker
Go ahead. Of course. And he starts striking up a tune and begins to play a song. Gee, that's not bad. Okay, good. You're not going to make me sing a song as well. Oh, I'd love that. But I don't think that's really fair after what you've just been put through. What do you mean? I could do anything that I put through. This is what I love. It's more than life itself.
00:15:27
Speaker
Nope, the song's gone. I did have one, but I can't do it. I can't remember the words, actually. It's one special song I made just for you for this whole event that I've just come up with while I was helping Lissandra and Iseldo settle in, actually, about how we've freed from the crypts of Aundant and you, our hero, saved us. But the lyrics aren't quite there yet, quite ready yet, and I'm under the pressure of the situation. I must quench my thirst with some beer before we continue on this escapade and journey further into the world of music and me, Cedric Windrider.
00:15:53
Speaker
Before you even finish that sentence, your request at a drink has already been met by Alpha, who's kind of dashed off to get you a jug of meat or whatever you were actually drinking, and he just brought it back back to you to your bequest of more food, more drink. Two foreheads, one love. Whilst that's happening, Raines is going to walk over to Morota and is just going to say to her,
00:16:34
Speaker
I see.
00:16:45
Speaker
Best ask him to pick up light gear. It's going to be hot. You're going to sweat. Yeah, I've been thinking about that myself. Our devots and shadow men aren't natural, but they can get just as hot. I've got a plan for how I'm going to deal with that. I don't know what's going to do with my alpha mind. I'm sure he'll be fine. Alpha, you can self-regulate, right? Your temperature?
00:17:14
Speaker
I believe so, although it has not been extensively tested. My concern is you're made of metal. Indeed. If we have to go underground, it's hot as hell.
00:17:38
Speaker
I don't know your melting point, you know. I understand skin, but... You raise a good point. I too am unaware of a melting point or possibly a cease and desist with my function due to extreme heat. Have you got some sort of like fan in there?
00:18:04
Speaker
I'm afraid I do not. I wonder if there's a way we may be able to test the limits of my capabilities before we proceed out to Dralak. I mean, you could go jump in the forge. Would that match the heat present? Well, depends how deep we go in Dralak, I suppose, but I'm somewhat joking. Please don't just go and jump on embers and hot coals. Very well.
00:18:34
Speaker
Alpha, your body, we know enough about it that it is adaptive to certain situations. For instance, we've discovered in the past that you're not immune to disease, but yet... And I can survive underwater. Yeah, you can do that. You don't need to breathe. However, your body, the memory room, it does something in the lines of an immune system. So we know your body self-regulates to an extent, but as you say, never tried it with extreme heat.
00:19:05
Speaker
hmm perhaps this is one of the situations where it is best to learn by doing well we ain't got a lot of choice on that so very well then i believe this conversation may be somewhat of a moot point it's just you know i'd normally advise people to hydrate but i'm not sure in your case i do not have the capability to hydrate well you know just
00:19:34
Speaker
because shade look for shade shade i will see if i am able to construct something that i may be able to take to provide some protection yeah like an umbrella an umbrella hmm this should work that is plausible maybe a little you know
00:19:58
Speaker
A little what? Like a little glass and some ice cubes and some, you know, hard drink and you got yourself a wee alpha cocktail. As to what Dutch code solution would I need an alpha cocktail? I don't know. I'm just trying to break the ice, I suppose. And Nick's thing was really humour. Ah, I see.
00:20:29
Speaker
break the ice is a good pun based on the joke I just told and that also didn't land so I'm just gonna go wait outside and just you know catch a breath all you say joke landed well I was just mid-drink comedy loves a comedy my gal I'm not your gal no no no no of course not you could you could kill me with one hand and I'd like it
00:20:59
Speaker
Not like that, but I might, uh, I'm going to get a drink. I'll be back. I'm going to go outside with rainfall, just taking the room and realize Nick's hasn't said anything. And we'll just look at alpha is just to say.
00:21:14
Speaker
and we'll just follow Marotta out the room. That expression is going to be really good. Why did you just... Yeah, the look on Ranger's face was just one of, this is really confusing. The one person who we couldn't get to shut up is currently not saying anything. Also, Nyx is outside already. Oh, shit. Sorry. Yep. That is further of a moot point. While you pop outside,
00:21:44
Speaker
Cedric's just going to quickly slam his hand down on the table to Alpha, point at him directly down his forehead towards Alpha and be like, you were talking about getting hot baby, was that true?
00:21:56
Speaker
I believe we are going to a destination that does indeed have high temperatures. Interesting fact, interesting thing I heard when we were serving underneath Vondan back there, he dealt in a little bit of monster hunting himself. He smoke or something in the mountains. Not too far from here. Near it, lava pit, high temperatures. Not saying jump in it, you could go near it, get a good sense of the temperature.
00:22:16
Speaker
Problem of a creature there, but that's why you heard about it could be something worth you guys investigating having a killer kill You know you seem like monster hunters yourselves able guys all our member is Don't know much. I think all I might know more actually but creature Had a lot of gold a lot of people try to kill it something up from the under dark shit load of gold
00:22:38
Speaker
We're all broke. You're broke. We're all broke. Money, money, money, money. And it's kind of on your way down to Dralak, just saying. It's roughly kind of off. And Ola may have additional information of this? Do you want to take it? Yeah, it's like a, it's like a Nauta or a, um, uh, Dogger or a, uh, Roper or a, um, Dewar. It's an, uh, thing at the end. I don't really know. Apparently it's just like rock. That's all I know. But anyway, killable. Otherwise, you know, we're taking over the whole of Aerith by now, but you fuck that thing up.
00:23:08
Speaker
Hop down there's some gold there. A bunch of adventurers tried it a while ago and they were loaded up to fuck. So if they're all dead, then you could nick their stuff as well. So probably some items as well. You could nab on the way. Because it looks like if you're going in the desert, you might need some new, you know, any kind of gestures across his body. Stuff to cover the joints or... I don't know how you work, man. But all that kind of stuff. I need things to provide shade. They might have an umbrella.
00:23:34
Speaker
Fantastic. Is Alla in the room, could I just ask? The last you knew Alla headed out north, she was like, nope, can't deal with this, and just went north after the return of Nixon and Morita. They say, right, I'm going to say that. I'm going to feel like I'm actually my welcome. Everyone's kind of slowly scared off.
00:23:50
Speaker
I'm gonna go check on the guys. Gideon, let's get out of here to give these guys some room. Diem's always just starting to hurt now. We're gonna fuck off for a bit and yeah, you just do you, Alpha, okay? Remember, stories galore whenever you want, okay? You just tell me, and I've got them on tap, baby. I need to do a real cut. Would you be able to write them down for me, just as he's about to leave? Write them down. Yes, I love to read. Your adventures on my journey could be most entertaining.
00:24:18
Speaker
Yeah, sure, sure. I'll find me some paper, I'm sure. Always got some somewhere and I'll find an ink and pen that bad boy down just on paper for now. Maybe we'll publish it later, who knows? Yeah, of course, yeah, no problem. Anyway, thank you. Toodles. Yeah, off he goes. Goodbye. He walks kind of through, you guys, if you stood in the door, again. Sorry, go ahead.
00:24:38
Speaker
and just walks down between you to check on the other guys. And Gideon just kind of quietly, without much voice, kind of nods politely past you all as he sees you and heads off with Cedric out of the way for another. And kind of pass on then to the group that are outside. So if Morota and, I'm not sure Nick's whereabouts you are, but if Morota and...
00:25:02
Speaker
Moreton Rains have just stood outside getting some air. You guys would be there. Actually, we might as well ask though, Nix, we're about to see you. Are you outside at the front door? Okay, so, because it's been a long time since I've been anywhere near this, this is Goldport Keep, which was Ola's dilapidated shack, am I right?
00:25:22
Speaker
Cool so a long time ago when next was last day am I right in thinking towards the south end there was this kind of lake. Yes so halfway through that wonderful story next would have got up and left and you'd find him over at the lake now last time he stripped down naked and just laid on top this time he would be just kind of looking into the water.
00:25:49
Speaker
and just
Nyx's reflection and Raines' concern
00:25:50
Speaker
deep in thought thinking about everything that's occurred the last six months and everything that and all the gaps in his knowledge and how confused he is the entire time that he's kind of deep in thought and he's looking at the water in his hand in front of him is the broken glass ball that he got from old girl and old girl used it to kind of
00:26:12
Speaker
read the future and the images. So Nix would be kind of appearing almost like the waters reflecting and curving around the sphere orb, but broken and fractured. And he's kind of feeling very akin to this ball and he's just kind of looking at it and staring at it. And this whole kind of silently staring at this orb would have been taking place whenever Nix had time alone.
00:26:39
Speaker
ever since he regained consciousness. It's like his safety net in a way. You know, we all gravitate towards something in moments of like, shit, this is Nix and he's been doing this over and over and just looking through the ball and losing himself in thought. So that's what would have been happening this entire time. That's where you find me if you find me. There you go.
00:27:07
Speaker
So Morota, thanks for that Ian, so Morota and Raines as you step outside if you were to look to your left you could see straight through past the other buildings, past the outhouse, past the cemetery and maybe make out the silhouette probably about 60 or 70 feet away of Nick standing by the water's edge, maybe the glint of something in his hands with the low orange sun of the afternoon glinting off the lake probably refracting up into
00:27:33
Speaker
The cracked crystal ball that Ian so aptly described, kind of casting quite interesting specks of light out, maybe reflecting off the skin of Nyx as well, as you step outside into the kind of cool, crisp, almost autumnal, but warm air outside Gopor Keep. I would sort of slowly wonder, not with any real purpose, but with the idea that my eventual destination would be the lake where Nyx is, but just like the most
00:28:03
Speaker
staggered, not staggered, like hands in pockets, not really sure what to do yourself sort of approach. Sort of going around some of the, I guess that's where some of the plowed land, the plowed and sewn crop stuff is going on and just sort of inspect that machine that Raines has put over the top of it. Feeling like that's maybe Raines' space, not necessarily doing anything or inspecting, but just sort of wandering slowly southward.
00:28:32
Speaker
As you do, that range is going to wander alongside you, and it's just going to say... Nick's coming with us when we go to draw that. It's... us? Now, is it? Well... Well, yeah. I suppose it kind of is, since you've gone... all the way to hell and back and have chosen to come back to us.
00:29:03
Speaker
It's nice to hear that. Yeah, I think he will. We're not, you know, we haven't got a grand plan and this could be a big opportunity. He, you know,
00:29:26
Speaker
he's enjoyed I think being on the road a bit the last couple of months so yeah he doesn't seem like he wants to go back to his ship anytime soon okay fair enough he's just well I don't know him admittedly but he ain't I've always thought him to be many things and he has been many things and the small time I have known him but quiet ain't ever one of them and well he's quiet that's all
00:29:55
Speaker
Again, you knew us for two weeks at best. Yep. Yep. Two weeks at best. And he never showed up in that time. But anyway, that's, that's not the point. I just, I don't know. Is he all right? I suppose. I mean, almost dying, it humbles someone. I think maybe just his ego took the hit and he's maybe a bit more realistic about how mortal he is.
00:30:26
Speaker
Fair enough. I think I can understand that a near-death experience will give you a version to near-death experience. That makes sense. Forgive me if I misheard you, but you've said once that you worked on arable land in Dredak, right? You've worked on farms before. I'm a farmer.
00:30:52
Speaker
But not like this stuff, like this stuff is good quality soil and you know, a baby could grow anything in this without really working hard. It's a lot of different growing stuff in sand. Speaking for a baby who's trying to grow something in it. There's a, well, look, when I was in Fatherkeep, it's a city that used to exist in Shethermans.
00:31:23
Speaker
We are, our deserts are so volatile, you can't grow anything on the land. So people grow them. They grow them under the earth. And a lot of the stuff that's powering Elmer here is magical. However,
00:31:42
Speaker
He'll just kneel down and start to just run some of the crops that are starting to shoot through the earth through his fingers. I ain't too used to using an almighty soul as a partner in wealth harvesting. I was wondering, whilst you were here, if you could take a look at what I've done and admit I ain't a farmer,
00:32:08
Speaker
Well, it seems there's a lot of hungry folk in this kingdom, and this was perfectly good farmland going to waste. I'm about to maximise what we're getting out of it, and I wondered, since you're back and you know about farming in difficult conditions and using the sun as a source, I assume that's what you do in Drowdak anyway. I was wondering if you'd take a look at it for me, that's all. Sure. I mean, you're doing fine. You put seeds down, you watered it, and it's sunny.
00:32:39
Speaker
It's not complicated. Is it green? Yes, it's working. Okay. That thing, Elmo, that metal. Yeah, it's a horse self pill and plow. What's wrong with just, you know, and she sort of looks to her hands, just getting messy. I ain't averse to doing that. And I'd be up for doing that, but we ain't been here.
00:33:06
Speaker
a lot, so I've had to leave something to regulate the farm of why they were long. Might need only simple tendering, but it needed tendering nonetheless. You'll come to find that the only enjoyment you get from this, if you're just
Farming techniques: Modern vs Traditional
00:33:20
Speaker
getting rid of the produce, is actually doing it. And if that little mechanical cow is just walking back and forth, it's not going to be as fun. I haven't given too much thought to this being fun.
00:33:36
Speaker
Maybe you're right. All right. You've done good in the most awkward way of reading that he wants feedback. Well done. Thank you. OK, I'm going to go. When we get to Dralak.
00:33:58
Speaker
I'll show you what real farming looks like. You see, when you don't have nutrients in the earth, you have to use what does exist. So, you know, growing fruits from cacti and trying to carcass of animals as, you know, your beds, you know, there is some creative work there. Here, the soil's just like, oh, feed me, I'll give you food. It's like child's play.
00:34:30
Speaker
And if we ever make it to Shadow Man, I'll take you to one of the halfling hamlets of the under forged villages of the Golden Triangle and I'll show you what farming under the ground looks like.
00:34:46
Speaker
That sounds great. I mean, I don't really like farming that much, but sure. If it means a lot to you, yeah, we could do this like a master and apprentice type thing. I can show you the ropes and then you show me this really cool thing and you'll feel validated and it would be great for you. It would. And you might have fun even though you don't enjoy it since farming can be fun, right? It can.
00:35:13
Speaker
When you've done it for 20 years, you may change your tune a little bit, but in the beginning it's fun. Fair enough. Well done. Yeah. Thanks for the validation. It's almost flitting between sweet and condescending. It's just like having a chat with my father. Anyway, I'm going to leave you to have another
00:35:41
Speaker
whatever it is you're doing over by the lake with Nick. You're right about one thing, I can't go and walk into Dralak in a hot tin suit, so I'm going to go deal with that. But thank you, though. Thank you for welcoming us back. It's good to see you, I think. Likewise.
00:36:10
Speaker
And I'll leave Morosa to just continue wandering towards Nyx. And Rains is going to head back towards the Keep looking to find the one of our helpers who said they were a healer, which I believe was Celia, that the half-elf. Isilda. Isilda.
00:36:33
Speaker
Yeah. That's my crappy handwriting that makes that look like Celia. I will, um, close enough. As I walk back towards the key.
00:36:45
Speaker
now we'll just follow the path of Marotta as she starts to continue make her way south down towards seeing the still figure of Nick staring into the... Are you just like staring into it? Are you kind of turning it over in your hands and looking at it or is it a very still... I spent a long time staring at this and have done over the last six months so I'll turn it over every now and then just to
00:37:09
Speaker
I would have the light cast a little bit different, see if I can see anything, look through it, look into it. Just it's been as much as when Nick's first got it as this wonderment of watching old girl be able to read the future through it and a small passion of wanting to learn how to do it to then turn it into a comfort blanket and more than
00:37:38
Speaker
anything a habit of there's nothing else to do in some of the places that he's been in other than this it's like you read the only book in the room if there's only you know it's it's that
00:37:50
Speaker
And so it's so much so if the wonderment of how it works has been killed and left behind to the point where he's just looking at it and he'll move it and look at it more than anything. Now, it's just looking at the lights and it's something to do and occupy the mind. And that's what you see, Meritor, as you start your approach. Nyx, who stood by the water's edge glimmering on the very still, almost glass like lake near Goldport keep.
00:38:20
Speaker
What's the ball saying? Same thing, it always says nothing. So big day, big thing just happened. I attempted a joke that didn't really go down well. So I won't be doing that anymore. That'll be just you.
00:38:48
Speaker
And I think Raines just invited me on a holiday. Just the two of you?
Nyx and Marota's relationship exploration
00:38:56
Speaker
I think so. I'd say that's a bit more than a holiday, Marota. Yes. This... This... trip... South. Are you still keen?
00:39:18
Speaker
want to go check out this dragon and, you know, get some cool shit or. It's a trip to draw like, Hey, with everyone. Well, you know, uh, the idea was we'd sort of pick up some extra muscle and this muscle we don't have to pay for, and they're already invited anyway. So are you going?
00:39:46
Speaker
I think so. I haven't been home in a fair few years and I don't know what happened that time before but there's something about dragons. I can't place it but I can speak it somehow randomly like it's
00:40:10
Speaker
Yeah, that is weird. I think I need an answer and this might be an outlet. And then we can just do you stuff after this. Like this one thing that could be like my thing that could be like, oh, I'm doing this favor for you. And then it's all you next for a while. Like I'm happy that we can have no stuff. We could find some stuff. I don't even know where to begin anymore. But I do know if you're going, I'm coming. So yes.
00:40:38
Speaker
Okay, and maybe we can like, maybe there's a cool thing and you can be somewhat interested in and it could be pretty epic and you go back to the Esmeralda and be like, hey, I've fixed everything, here's this dragon horde for you. Would, I think, be cool to go back to the Esmeralda? Like down the line? Yeah. I'm done with boats for like years.
00:41:06
Speaker
Yeah, everything just, there's so many gaps in my memory from falling in to that abyss. I just get confused really easily and I find it hard to trust. So if you're going, I'm going. Yeah. I also think that maybe
00:41:32
Speaker
bringing you here and this thing and this thing that Emron has that you need. We can like just close the door on that and you can get whatever you're after because you know, you've not been well and that might be a thing that could help. I haven't been able to use any powers since I've fallen. It just doesn't come to me.
00:42:00
Speaker
This was the last point. And I'm not sure I wanted to because it led to, I don't know. I don't know if I want it back. I don't know if I, if I, I don't know. Then perhaps the next few days with these three, you can decide if we want to destroy it or take it back. You're going. Yeah.
00:42:30
Speaker
Yes. That's, I'm in. It's all I need to know. Okay. Well, there's a thing you need to know about Dralak. Right. And there's no big birds there. Oh, there's big birds, like big birds, but I really want to get past this
00:42:57
Speaker
terrible monster hunting business that these three seem to be involved in like it's not good and they're not very capable and the stuff that's happening is poorly planned we just don't provoke the big birds i don't want any big birds i i'm quite happy never to touch the sky again now there's a thing we should um
00:43:27
Speaker
We should check in with Alpha. Yeah, yeah. I actually did miss that big metal beast. I meant more the gemstone that is worth a small fortune that he probably still has. Oh, that green one. Your thing, your one. Not the green one. Was that my thing? The blue one. That blue one. Was that my thing?
00:43:57
Speaker
I always thought like the orb was a substitute for that gem that you always wanted, that he took off you. Yeah. Is it not? Different life, I guess. Hey, do you think he still turns into, you know, if provoked? We could find out. You could like, tickle him or whatever you do. Oh, was there a command?
00:44:29
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be good to talk to Alpha again. Well, now's the best time because he's just listening to some guy talk bullshit, so... He's got someone else to talk bullshit to. I think you've been replaced. You need to go back in there and stake your claim and say, no, this is my bullshit audience. Move on, Cedric, the whatever he calls himself. What kind of name is Cedric?
00:45:00
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I'll be along. Just need a few more moments. I have been kinder than I have been in many years in the last like hour. So I'm now going to have a period of just quiet reflection and I'm probably going to go like stamp on a mouse or something. I know. OK.
00:45:21
Speaker
Well, I'm just going to go for a stroll. OK, I think I heard something rustling in the bushes behind me, but I don't know if I can trust my own hearing and senses right now. I'll see you. Good luck, Beau. And don't go far, right? I won't. OK. And I'm going to move with purpose in the direction that Ola went about 20 minutes ago. OK. And I'm going to try and track her down.
00:45:50
Speaker
Nick, are you just hanging around for a bit longer? Are you moving on or are you staying there? Yeah, staring at the orb. Glass ball, not the orb. The orb was we were talking about alpha yet. No, just staring at the glass ball in front, just kind of just looking at it. Rains, you take a sharp left turn.
00:46:11
Speaker
sharp right trying to get towards the location of these two other individuals that had been saved by you and your crew and you run face to face kind of into the person you are looking for around the corner outside the central kind of empty armory room next to the one that was set on fire by Vordand only a matter of hours ago. Oh gosh, sorry. I didn't see you there. No.
00:46:37
Speaker
I didn't see you either. That's a total incidental. It's corners, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. What are you looking for? Healing, right? That's that's what you do. That's your thing. I'm gonna need your service for the for the first time or I might do. I might do and don't worry.
00:46:59
Speaker
Now that you've made them, just that I'm going to probably need your help. Maybe. I don't know what's going to happen with what I'm about to do. But I could do with someone there to make sure I don't die. A bit more information would be useful than just possible death.
00:47:13
Speaker
Oh, sure. I practice this vocation that we will call artificery. And a part of that is I can summon a very nice tin iron suit around me and then use it as a weapon to fight my enemies badly most of the time.
00:47:37
Speaker
It probably still looks relatively impressive. I can't say I've ever done it in front of a mirror, but about to go across a very, very dusty, warm, hot sampling. And having done the golden triangle in Shadow Man, I don't particularly fancy doing that in a tin suit. So I'm going to take out my Shadow Mindian liver, and I've had NC working on something a while, and I'm going to
00:48:06
Speaker
the infusion that I've been doing on the tin thing, I'm going to put it through the shadow menu and lever. In order to do that, I have to put myself in the armour or in a part of the armour. I won't be taking my clothes off or anything. It'll just be a part, like a glove or gauntlet. When that happens, I can then transfer the power from the current tin suit into that. Now, I've never done that transfusion before. I may die in the process of doing that transfusion since the suit is going to be powered off my brain.
00:48:37
Speaker
And I'm there to stop you from dying? Yes. Okay, she shrugs. Yeah, NC will fly around. Ah, NC, NC should, should, should be able to bring me back if all you can do is just stop me from dying. But I don't know what's going to happen to me. Well, I do know what will happen to me. I'll die. I don't know what's going to happen to NC if I expire.
00:49:02
Speaker
And then C may power down, which means my security protocol might power down and I'm dead, the squirrel's dead, and someone a few years from now writes in a footnote of shadow Mendian history that the crown prince of shadow men died on the far side of the world being an idiot. So stop that from happening, please. Your main insurance policy is what I'm saying.
00:49:29
Speaker
Fine. Okay, let me just put down his things and then... Yeah, where do we do it? Alright, it's in the... I've got it set up in the armory. I've had the suit. No, it was not the suit. It's Lebron. And the forge, because that's the armory there. I think you're getting them confused. The armory is the old one that's empty. The forge is the one that you framed Emmeron. That's... That's a... It's exactly where I'm over there. Yeah, that's a... You call that a forge?
00:49:56
Speaker
Well, it's got a fire in it, hasn't it? In Shadowmen, we call that a fire room. Should we head over there? Yeah, yeah, I think that's best. If we do it in silence as well, that's probably best as well. Rains will allow the silence just for a second and then he'll just chip in. Your accent sounds slightly Shadowmenian. Sorry, I know, I know you said silence. It's moonrise. There's a lot in common between the two kingdoms.
00:50:29
Speaker
And there's all good silence as you walk over. Just crossed nicely over. Nix, at some point were you aiming to go back into the Great Hall to see Alpha? Or were you staying, because you mentioned something about going to see Jack on Alpha, or were you waiting for Morita to return?
00:50:49
Speaker
I will answer that question once Callum stops waving and wants to talk. The only thing I was going to say is that after he has been advised of the lava pits and the mountains on the route to Dralak from Cedric, he would have left the hall.
00:51:07
Speaker
hoping to basically find Rains and advise him. So if you were to look up, you would probably see Alpha outside the hall, just kind of casually looking around for Rains, but this probably would have missed Rains as he's gone to the Forge.
00:51:25
Speaker
I might have ended up superseding it a nice, let's do that because it's a nicer interaction to have. So yeah, what you do is you look down towards the kind of west of the cluster of buildings, stone buildings, and see Raines walking like a half step behind a rather tall, elegant half elf, Silverhair, who's kind of looking ahead.
00:51:49
Speaker
kind of like a dead eyes look in her face and just just looking ahead as she walks quite nonplussed and then she catches your eye she starts to approach and and reigns you are also see alpha as well ah alpha hello dad i have some promising news with regards our recent discussions on theory
00:52:11
Speaker
The wonderful Cedric Windrider has advised that on the route to Dralak there are some high temperature lava pits within some mountains. This could be a promising opportunity to test my thermo resistance. Are you saying you want to go swimming in lava? He advised not to jump in, but then he said maybe jump in, it is my choice.
00:52:34
Speaker
I do not feel it wise. However, the surrounding army on temperature may be enough to mimic what we may expect in Dralak. It could at least be a start. I have been advised there may be a dangerous creature there, but that may be... I don't know. Irrelevant. Okay. Well, we're going to have to weigh up the risk of that and how, and how,
00:53:05
Speaker
serendipitously, shall we say, it might, it might attire, line up with what we've got, we got planned. But I'm not against it. It sounds interesting. I mean, I'm slightly loathed to let you go swimming in lava and just to stress test because, well, we just stress tested one lack of although to see if it can survive being eaten by Drake. And the answer was it was not successful. No.
00:53:33
Speaker
You still got that thing, the, uh, obsidian? If that is what it is, then yes. Good. Good. Uh, Alpha, uh, you remember Isilia. She should do it like 20 minutes ago that you first met us. Of course. It is a pleasure to see you again. She reaches out her hand and pronounces her name, uh, Isilda.
00:54:01
Speaker
Shadowman, we pronounce that Isilier. Sure, Shadowman, they pronounce it wrong. Alpha just extends a hand back, saying, absolute pleasure to meet you again, Isildur. Likewise. We are going to kill your dad here by the sounds of things, and she looks towards things. No, no, no, no, no. I'm going to potentially kill myself, and Isildur is going to ensure that that doesn't happen.
00:54:27
Speaker
Isilda. Close enough. Isilda. Let's just not even bother with it. Yeah, so we're going to the Forge. Are... I see. You coming? You can come and watch, by all means. Sounds weird. Yes, I would be most intrigued as to what your possible death may entail.
00:54:49
Speaker
You could be a little bit less macabre about this, Alfred, that would be fabulous. I assume this is an experiment, though. Actually, yes. Having you there is good because of that perfect memory bank of yours. It's very, very good for making sure that when I put the old calculations in that the one that doesn't involve in my death is the one that I stick to. So yes, Alfred, it'd be really good to have you there.
00:55:14
Speaker
In retrospect, if something is to be involved in your death, would it matter if I record it at all? Well, this has got very fatalistic very, very, very quickly. I tell you what, let's not deal in hypotheticals. Let's go and see what happens when I try and infuse a second suit and hopefully I won't die. Hopefully so.
00:55:39
Speaker
and I'll continue to make my way over to the forge, not the armory. I feel that follows suit as well as the three of you start making your way over the ploughed fields through a kind of a grassy knoll which separates two smaller fields that you separated out for the potatoes towards the
00:55:58
Speaker
Fortune you notice along that track the well-worn boots and you can see the many many routes that which Enron had taken over the over the weeks and months you'd spent time there the same as all three of you it's a well trodden route in this room in this area until just recently was almost like a second home to you.
00:56:16
Speaker
As you approach it though, we're just going to pass quickly before we get there. Sorry, to Morota. And I imagine you've kind of gone at like a, you've got a fast pace. You've got a good speed anyway. So imagine you were like a kind of a real like jog, maybe as you walk through a chance to stretch out the limbs, et cetera, after being cooped up in some of the places Vordhan's been sending you. Where are we heading? We're heading North. In the direction that all are headed. Okay. Oh, are you looking for? I'm looking for all it.
00:56:43
Speaker
Okay, so you head up through the buildings past where...
00:56:48
Speaker
you can see the remains of the hall and the rest of the buildings up to the northern pass. And you start heading up, up, up, and it takes you slightly uphill, ever so slightly.
Monster hunting critique and looming threats
00:56:59
Speaker
You crest over a ridge and you can see the long shadow, your form casts on the ground in front of you, quite crisp and quite clear, can make out a very clear figure of your body.
00:57:13
Speaker
And take that in for a second before kind of glancing up and you see what you expect to see off probably on the next nearby crest of the hill the house and the shop that old girl talks about probably half a day's walk away and not too far down the road you see the small figure of all that sat.
00:57:32
Speaker
on the side of the road kind of just using her fingers and kind of flicking stones and just playing with small reeds of dyed grass and straw with her fingers looking down small kind of cross-legged hunched over looking very very young all of a sudden like a really just upset child almost not like petulant but just there's something defeated in a kind of body language to just
00:57:59
Speaker
She doesn't know what to do. And she doesn't, yeah, see you at the moment. I'm going to approach quite loudly and make a point of sitting next to her, incredibly close, looking in the direction that she's looking.
00:58:14
Speaker
She's looking out away from Goldport Keeps. The shadow is kind of behind, away from the sun, which again seems rather odd, but telling of her personality. Out towards kind of the rolling hills nearby, and the blip of the one house that, or Gell's kind of shop thing he talked about in the distance. Hello. Or what? Marota?
00:58:50
Speaker
I don't care at all how the last six months have been for you, but I come here with a piece of advice I hope you take. No more. You're not
00:59:14
Speaker
no more this monster hunting stuff it's not for you your information is bad you're massively misunderstanding what's what's being asked is it not better that you're just you're celebrated for what you've done for the blight
00:59:46
Speaker
Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck up the amount of people who died that you fought alongside by just being shit at this. She continues looking at her, nods her head slightly as she talk. After the blight had ended,
01:00:13
Speaker
after I was told to stand down from the sleep guard's surge. I had nothing. No purpose. I'd spent years training, years fighting, years with a clear goal in mind and now with nothing. I needed a purpose. Shit, I'm supposed to be good at this.
01:00:40
Speaker
But you're not good at this. You're not. We found you stuck in a cellar by your first contract that you tried to do. Your second one, Nick's and I almost died. Your third one, apparently someone died. Like, stop. Find something else. Start farming. Like, Reigns is going mad for it. Just... You're stupidly in debt, from what I understand.
01:01:12
Speaker
Like, you're not going down a clever path. How else do you describe we pay this off? By selling potatoes in the market for the rest of my life? There is no we. This is your shit. Then how do you expect me to pay it off? I don't know, but it's clearly not monster hunting, is it? And it is we. Because the last six months, and wherever you lot were, I have been taking on every expense for those three.
01:01:43
Speaker
keeping this place running, looking after them, letting them grieve, letting them mope, feeding them, cleaning them, cleaning the place, incurring debt after debt, not working in order to look after them. Is that because of your own guilt? Or is that because of them? Both. Neither, all that they're above.
01:02:08
Speaker
I wanted to do it because I wanted to be a good person, a good friend, after what you all have done for me. I wanted to give it back, I reciprocate, pass on. And you've given us your debt too? No, like you said, that's mine. They'll find you the money because they're good people. But I don't want you making the mistake of thinking, I am part of that. Fine.
01:02:40
Speaker
I just... I just thought we had something. I thought we had the chance to do something great. Yes, I am known for my exploits in the Blight, but infamy fades. Daimler dozen for the number of veterans of the Blight. All disenfranchised, all jaded now, post-war.
01:03:06
Speaker
I wanted something that I could revitalize myself. Instead of falling down a path that so many of my comrades have fallen down paths of drink and drugs and any other mean of nefarious to keep that feeling alive. When you fight in something like that, Marotta, when you fight in something like that, there's something deep inside, something dark that stays with you, an enjoyment, a feeling that nothing can top it.
01:03:37
Speaker
I was simply looking to find my next infamy. I was finding something I was good at. Yes, okay, I'm not great at my organizing or information, but I'm getting better, okay? Each time. Hell, the next few I did have, which I won't, were well-planned, scouted, research weaknesses, specifics on place and time and information that would be useful.
01:04:08
Speaker
I was still learning. I am still learning. And if you guys don't want to be involved in them, that's fine. You're still always welcome with Goldpool Keepers, as much yours as it is mine. Yours included, Morota. I'll find some others.
01:04:25
Speaker
No, you won't. Because this is something I want to pursue. Because this is something happening to Goldview. The vacuum is being filled when the undead have gone by the others. These are the things that are returning that once inhabited this place. And I won't see these lands destroyed again. These are my homelands. I've seen it destroyed once and we were on the precipice of it all going.
01:04:51
Speaker
I won't see that happen again and I will snuff out the flames as they approach. So yes, it is a bit greedy. Yes, it is a bit money, but also it's about my land, my place. Look at the place as she points back towards Goldport Keep. It's a fucking mess. It's barely even standing on its own. The Masons that come out tell me daily that half the rooms are dangerous to live in. That's why we don't use half the place. And I refuse to give it up because this is who I am. This is my family. This is my home. You're an imbecile.
01:05:23
Speaker
This is, this is folly. If we say no to the next contract, you go and you hook some other poor suckers in. Like you need to get real. You're not going to stop what's coming next. It's not you. You could put up a valiant defense or two. You need to get real. People are dying because of your incompetence and because of this weird pride that you have.
01:05:52
Speaker
It wasn't my incompetence that you jumped after Nick's. That was yours. Correct. So you can lay some of the others at me. Yours you cannot. If you say so. If I catch you doing this again Orla, I'll have more than words. I'll see you back at the keep. Maybe.
01:06:22
Speaker
And I'm going to walk off. She's going to stay. Holy shit. I'm sweating. Yeah, right. Well, that was good. Dine on that sweet wheat.
01:06:44
Speaker
Moroti, you continue to walk back to campus, the sun, still setting off a splendiferous set of orange and red hues on the... Splendiferous. Scattered Columbus clouds. Columbus? Columbus clouds. Columbus clouds in the sky above. If you close your eyes and breathe deep, you will find yourself transported into a land of wonder,
01:07:14
Speaker
I don't know what I'm doing. Carry on. I don't know either. I don't know either. It's very peaceful. We were turning into a very zen situation that you were chilling me out with your description. I know, but that's what I pictured when that whole thing was taking place. Half light of the red sun and then this kind of quite strong worded conversation taking place.
01:07:40
Speaker
I don't know what to go to now, actually, having this kind of packed up quite neatly, actually. Oh, I know who we'll go to now, actually. The sun will follow Marota as he continues to walk back towards Goldport Keep. And I imagine it's probably a slower, purposeful, but slightly slower pace. The sun continues to sink down into the sky.
01:07:59
Speaker
and the sun just dips below and you have this red hue in the sky, an orange hue up of the Columbus clouds, as the sun slowly starts to set as rain's alpha and Isilda head into the forge. Nyx continues to stand, probably to the last glimpse of sunlight leave by the lake edge and Marota heads back towards Goldport Keep and Gideon, Cedric, and Lassandra, who also inhabit the place now.
01:08:26
Speaker
Just as the dips down below and the shadows start to fall slightly lower, there's a moment of just serenity, the situation of the calmness of peace, maybe just physical peace as opposed to social peace, but physical peace for the group, a moment of zen and calm.
01:08:45
Speaker
Very quickly, we move away from that situation, we pan over the mountains, across, over the hills, sorry, over towards Old Gales Shack, his small house, his small shop that he had set up.
01:09:00
Speaker
And you see the tossering form of old girl jostling in, jostling round, looking left, looking right, picking up some skulls. His shop is filled with portraits, hand-drawn portraits, not maybe by him, by others, that seem to adorn every single wall. Nothing else seems to be sold in this shop. Just line upon line with these portraits lined up one after the other, facing outwards. None of them seem to be moving. The shop is deftly quiet.
01:09:26
Speaker
Four figures enter, clad in dark clothing, cloth across mouth and nose. One stands to the front, pulls down the cloth and says, are you the one they call old girl? He turns slowly, smiles and nods. All four of them pull out swords, scimitars. The one up front leans over his back.
01:09:54
Speaker
pulls out a long bastard sword and holds it in his hands. I think it best if you come with me. Pull away from the shop, out, over, across the mountains, camera moving faster and faster, the sun lowering deeper and deeper, and finally settles outside a dilapidated, dark manner. And we hear a shuffling. And you hear the grunts and groans.
01:10:23
Speaker
Someone's like the camera's too high as to pan down slightly. And down a little lower, we see the form of a small shadowed goblin. Fucking guys, they're fucking late. He mutters and shouts over his shoulder as he paces back and forth. He leans against one of the pillars of the old manor and looks back. And he don't know. Come on, that's a set at noon, a set by the moon.
01:10:50
Speaker
He looks down towards a small letter he holds in his hand, crumbles it up, throws it on the floor, huffs and continues looking out.
01:11:03
Speaker
And a rather weird ending. That's what we're going to leave it for this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop. The weird crossover. Only because next week there's going to be something slightly different rolling out with what we've got planned. And you'll know all about that next week anyway. But it's something a little bit different. It's all the same. Well, as I noticed, just across the hills slightly. Just another little event that's taking place that we're just going to cross over to away from our main campaign. There's a little something there.
01:11:32
Speaker
to attach them both. Glue. Yes, some glue between the two. But Jesus, I'm literally, my knee pits are sweating still from that conversation with Morota and Orla as the Siferous, I liked it. It's all round intense bit of RP from everyone. Thank you very much guys. That was one roll I think of the entire. Who rolled? A little Darren's inside. That bullshit inside chair.
01:11:59
Speaker
Oh, wow. WinRider's like the best person in existence at Alpha.
01:12:05
Speaker
It's very helpful you're saying this and you're really far from your mic. We can all hear you, but it does lead me to say thank you very much for tuning in and listening, making us a part of your everyday week. We love you for it. Hopefully you enjoyed everything that's happening. And like Mark says, look forward to next week where we have a little bit of specialness being sprinkled in over our main campaign, where we take the camera away and focus it on a similar group that's already hit up against the party. We find out a little bit more about them.
01:12:35
