Hello and welcome to Eberron Renewed, an actual play podcast at the Eberron campaign setting. I'm your game master, Eric. I'm Philip. I'm Trevor. Randy. I'm Jeff. And welcome to another episode.
Episode Recap: Chaos and Conflict
00:01:25
Speaker
Gentlemen, what happened last time? Explosions. Like, man, it turned, it went from a street brawl to a terrorist incident. Yeah. And then, uh, I mean, I don't even know what I,
00:01:42
Speaker
I was not playing at my peak ability in the last episode. I don't know if that's clear. I had no idea what to do. Anyway, I'm sure the editor made you look great. Man, I don't know. He's not very good. Or he's very good at me, to me. Thank God for Tim. Never said we'd pay someone to edit it.
Unveiling Identities and Interrogations
00:02:06
Speaker
We had the conclusion of our fight. We found out that the Green Goblin was Norse and Millhatch.
00:02:16
Speaker
When the guards showed up, Eris and Raynard went with them willingly and Hob and Milo hid because Milo's a career criminal and Hob had a dead body with him. So that's that. And now they are, they being Eris and Raynard are in the station being, not interrogated, being questioned, have witness questions. And Milo and Hob are outside of the police station.
00:02:44
Speaker
waiting for them. Yeah, I think we're just persons of interest right now. Yeah, I think you might even just be. Well, no, because they do know about the sky. Yeah, I mean, they know. They know I ran my sky crab, the sky crab and my sky crab. That's what I'm building next time. Just fly sideways. Take this sky crab. The last campaign. Hey. That was good. Question. Yes.
00:03:12
Speaker
Can I roll to get rid of some of this strain? Can we count this as? Oh yeah, yeah. We did in the encounter. So yeah, you can, you can roll to recover strain. Remind me what I do. Disciplined or cool, right? Yes. Disciplined or cool. No, no opposition. And it's just your human service success. One.
00:03:32
Speaker
Congratulations, everyone. Do you not need to roll? I had wounds, but I would imagine sitting in the... I'm healing as I go. Very slowly, but yes. I think you heal one wound per long rest in this game. Just the body's regenerative properties are taking care of me right now.
00:03:51
Speaker
Um, okay. So, uh, yeah, where we left off, uh, Eris and Raynard are in separate, uh, rooms being questioned by the dwarf investigator, uh, who were, were picking up with the door to Eris's room opening and a halfling, uh, walks in with, uh, a mark going up their forearm and they come sit down next to Eris like your, your hand, please. I can, I can help you with that.
00:04:23
Speaker
Eris. Sean is unfamiliar with informed consent. Eris puts her hand on the table. OK, so the halfling reaches out and places. Their hand over yours, and we need to make a roll to see what's their medicine skill. Critical injury is here.
00:04:55
Speaker
What's their medicine skill? Um, you know, they're a Drasko. Well, actually, isn't there a, cause this is the heel spell. Uh, it is, uh, two yellow, one green. All right. Oh my gosh. Well, that didn't work. Um, never trust anyone again. Two failure, one advantage.
00:05:22
Speaker
You feel you want a bench? Okay, with the...
00:05:28
Speaker
You hit one point of strain. Cool. So you do feel better about this. The pain eases. Yes. Um, and you see, uh, the mark on their forearm glowing as they placed their hand over yours and a concerned look comes over their face. Like I'm, I'm sorry, this is a very severe injury. I, it hurts. It hurts us. I'm all right. Okay. Pulls her hand back. I'm sorry. I couldn't do more. Yeah.
00:05:57
Speaker
Um, and they get up and exit, um, in Reynard's room. Okay. So drain year, tell me that you're done here scoping things out. And, uh, so why, why get involved in this situation? Why not just, I mean, I don't know if I really had a choice. You could have, I mean, there was a crowd of people watching that didn't get involved. You could have been a spectator.
00:06:25
Speaker
Well, an explosion happened, feet within me. I was kind of knocked prone. And then you pulled out a bow and began firing. Well, I don't think you can pin that on me. We have witnesses that say that the elf involved. Let's say I look like this. That looked like the way you did when you came in with the black face and the standing up hair. I think that's subjective.
00:06:55
Speaker
So you're saying that you weren't firing an arrow. Roll to an infuriating. I think that's hearsay, really. Hmm, okay. So I thought we were having a conversation. I didn't realize that we were.
00:07:13
Speaker
Right now it is better at this than theirs. I'm not sure yet, but I think I'm not sure. The bar is low. OK, well, I'll let you make a check to get him to back off on this. What social check would you like to we could do?
00:07:35
Speaker
um deception since you are kind of obscuring the truth um charm i mean since you're just trying to you know convince him to convince him of something yeah that essentially you're not denying it but you're trying to convince him that it wouldn't hold up in court kind of thing yeah i think i'll do charm okay that's two yellow and a green uh so this is going to be against his is the same as deception so yeah two red
00:08:07
Speaker
And go and throw a blue in there. Okay. Um, blue for me. Yeah. Well, thanks. Cause you did some good role play, man. Thank you. Um, would you like to flip story point to turn that yellow into, or turn that green into yellow? I would. Okay.
Legal Maneuvers and Release from Custody
00:08:24
Speaker
Because I need this to work. And I think it did.
00:08:37
Speaker
Mmm, yes, I think well, I have no Three advantage three advantage. That's it. No, no, it didn't work three advantage. I mean, I feel like we have enough witnesses that Where it's beyond me and I feel like there are enough explosions that site could have been That advantage Yeah, what would you like to do with the advantage um
00:09:05
Speaker
I mean, it's three advantage. That's quite a bit. Yeah, that's a fair amount. I'm open to. Well, I think you want Basil to kick the door and that's fine. I think. Well, that wouldn't really end the conversation, though.
00:09:23
Speaker
be a different conversation. No, I was going to say, I don't think someone of my caliber should be here without a lawyer. Remind me, what were you rolling to have happen? Because I don't want him to back off. Get him to back off on the, you pulled out a bow and started shooting at people. OK, I wanted to know what advantage would not be eligible for, so I was asking. I was trying to be the very, like, oh, I was just a hapless bystander.
00:09:45
Speaker
I don't wanna, I don't wanna bluff and say lawyer and then he calls me and I'm like, well, damn it, now my family's gonna know where I am. I mean, you're a good guy with a gun. I don't know what his problem is personally. I'm just trying to think of, not a way for him to back off, but maybe a way to like change the subject or something.
00:10:13
Speaker
or like steer them in a different direction. What if you
00:10:25
Speaker
try to steer the conversation towards, have you heard if everybody's okay one level below us? And it kind of brings the scope of the situation back into focus. Yeah, who's the bad guy here? Well, yeah, that's a good point. Well, I think I'll say something a little more sassy.
00:10:45
Speaker
Well, yeah, no, I just something you say plus three advantage would say Eric and say like, yeah, we're refocusing the issue. We're trying to save lives by stopping this. He hasn't forgotten that you got involved in the fight. Yeah. But we're recontextualizing the fact that you got involved in the fight. I would say maybe something like. Well, have you apprehended the terrorists that began this whole ordeal?
00:11:15
Speaker
Well began the whole ordeal according to my no, no, no, I'm talking about the people who were killed and injured below. We're looking for the individual that, uh, that set off the explosion that hit you and then more devastation. Well, I would say find him and get his side of the story before you point fingers at me. I'm just trying to get a full picture of the situation drain year. I don't think you can do that without him.
00:11:41
Speaker
But I have you here. So that's just, I'm trying to get a full scope. I'm not pointing fingers. I'm not saying you did anything wrong by pulling out your bow. Something exploded in your face, but I'm just trying to get a full idea of what happened. Yes. Obviously we're concerned about the devastation caused in this situation. Eris.
00:12:04
Speaker
Dwarf reenters. I'm sorry that, uh, the Jurassico individual wasn't able to help more. Um, is your hand feeling better? There's a glove melted to it. I think it'd be all right if I just leave it there.
00:12:21
Speaker
Might want to get a second opinion on that. Yeah, I don't know if she needs that. I really don't. Is it hill up? There's a lot of dirt in it. That'll buff out. That's why I said I got my car door. It won't. It won't. I saw it. So.
00:12:50
Speaker
A vehicle crashed into the war forge that was accosting people. Then the individual on the source side arrived. So tell me about when the explosions began. It was right when he arrived. He was throwing, he was throwing some kind of explosive orbs. I don't know. I didn't get a good enough to look to understand how they were made. If you found one, I could.
00:13:18
Speaker
tell you exactly how it was made. Oh, you're an artificer? I have a tinker. She says looking caught. No, I'm an unlicensed mage right.
00:13:34
Speaker
I thought you were acting this out. I'm taking notes on what you all say to the cop. He's literally taking notes. It's very intimidating. He has a little lamp over each of our heads. He shaved down to just a mustache. Very common. Got a donut?
00:13:55
Speaker
He took all my stuff. OK, so throwing orbs, the explosion happened. So at what point at what point did you see the individual get away and could you give us a description of what the person looked like?
00:14:29
Speaker
was wearing Dargul armor. But I saw one of the explosions part of his helmet got blown away and it was definitely a human. So it was a human wearing wearing Dargul armor and it wasn't it wasn't actually an orb goblin. Okay. Is there anybody that
00:14:57
Speaker
you feel like would seek to cause you bodily harm that might. That would be capable of doing something like this. I think who actually has a grudge specific. Oh, I guess. Okay. I can't think of any other artifices who
00:15:29
Speaker
who know me who would want to harm me. Okay. Just one last question before obviously we will get your information to where we can be in touch following up. But before I let you go today, the elf that we brought you in with, what's your relation to him?
00:15:58
Speaker
casual, casual. How do you know him? He's an he's an acquaintance. Were you all in the district together? No, he was he was already there when I arrived.
00:16:40
Speaker
Ultimately, yes, we were in the district. I don't know. We are currently in the district. OK. All of that stuff is true that you said on a technical level. I know. This is Eric's. This does not sound like a cop. Determining what what, if any, check I would like you to make.
00:17:09
Speaker
give you a copper to go away. Now it's a negotiation, right? Yeah. Probably more skullduggery since now you're bribing a cop. Well, I have great skullduggery. I'm not actually bad at that. Yeah. And I have a lot of gold too. Um, okay. Um, what name would you have given when you were brought in? Um,
00:17:50
Speaker
Can I think about that while you cut to elsewhere for a minute? Welcome to elsewhere. All right, Dren here. Well, I believe have everything that we need from you at this point, except for, of course, anything you can tell us about the individual that caused the explosions.
00:18:16
Speaker
Okay, I have an idea, but I don't know if I want to execute it or not. Do it. Nobody else is in the room with you. Okay. I also have two different ideas about how to do it. Okay. I don't know if I want to discuss them or just pick what I can go. Go, go, go, go. I think I want to go with the one that there would be less evidence of it actually being true and just a... This is what I saw. Okay. What was the thing he was flying on again? What was that called? Sword Sled. Sword Sled? Sellsord. Nope.
00:18:50
Speaker
Yes, well, he he did fly in on a sore sled, correct? Yes, I believe it exploded after he left. Yes, I believe I remember that as well. So many explosions. Devastating, really. But I seem to recall as it flew above. I mean, this is in between explosions, so I could be incorrect. But but part of the machinery
00:19:15
Speaker
Having the Milhatch Industries logo. Really? Yes. Quite curious, really. Milhatch Industries. Could be worth looking into, or maybe he just acquired it somehow. Deception check.
00:19:36
Speaker
Stop lying if you don't have deception. How are you bad at deception? To be fair, I don't know how we got it. I mean, honestly, I think he's pretty bad at deception. How? What's the lie? You shouldn't be. What is this? What is it? Two red. Oh, Jesus. Okay, for all the story point business and everything setting up, this guy knowing you and being a fan of you, go ahead and add a blue to the pool.
00:20:02
Speaker
It's a believable enough lie, so I'm not gonna impose it back. Would you like to flip a story point to change one of those screens to yellow? I'm just wondering if the police are actually gonna... First they're on his side, you know what I mean? Does Mill Hatch Industries manufacture Soar Sleds? Because my bike says Rollie on it.
00:20:27
Speaker
I mean, they are an experimental, artificing company. So I mean, it's not an unbelievable. I think I'll just go with this pool. OK. Because it's kind of here nor there, whether they go after Milhatch to me. I was just trying to drop a little. Yeah. No, I like it.
00:20:50
Speaker
Oh, so those are gone. One success. So I have one success and one advantage? Yes. Perfect. So he believes it. What would you like to do with the advantage? Probably send it to Eris for her. Eris is about to be let go. So you can just put a boost out there. Here, what we'll do, just sit this on the table in front of you and we'll have a boost to give. Perfect.
00:21:18
Speaker
Um, okay. Do you have a name? Um, it was, um, she, yeah, why not? She would have given a Rancis as her name. I was gonna say Tasha. What? Any surname? No. Doesn't offer one. Okay.
00:21:45
Speaker
All right, well, Aransas, I appreciate your time. Just leave your contact information, address, all that at the front desk, and we'll be in touch. All right. Junior, leave your contact information where we can find you up front, and we'll be in touch. Yes, thank you. You're doing good work. Thank you. OK, so after 45 minutes to an hour,
00:22:16
Speaker
Iris literally has no address. But just as a point of fact, possesses no address. OK, so I don't know how that would go. Exactly. The person at the front desk is like, well, where can we find you if we need to talk to you? Do you have a job? Where do you sleep? She gives the name of the casino where she works.
00:22:46
Speaker
Oh, what was that place called? Something Nines? Lucky Nines? That sounds right. Now I had a rather large weapon when I came in. I had quite a pile of bullets.
00:23:07
Speaker
Oh yes, your effects. He reaches down and a wooden box comes up and butchers in there. All of your stuff is returned to you. Okay. You can know just because these are all very precious to Eris, I won't make you make a check. They have been touched and people have been messing with him.
00:23:31
Speaker
not in a sabotage but just a what in the world is this like poke and prod and pull kind of way. Is this a gun?
00:23:42
Speaker
Never seen anything like this. Was anyone grievously injured? Good point. They know what a trigger looks like. I've just been back here mixing bleach in the morning for a couple of hours. Everything's okay. I want to get stuff real clean. What information would you have given Drang the Air? I think he just walks by and says, I think you know where to find my family. Yes.
00:24:08
Speaker
Okay. So first, uh, after about 45 minutes, so Eris emerges.
Ethical Dilemmas: To Revive or Not?
00:24:15
Speaker
Um, and then shortly after a rate drain, looking like drain year, uh, would have exited the building as well. So we've all seen him do that. Yeah. B drain year. He did it in the office. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. Well, they didn't keep you. So that's, that's good.
00:24:40
Speaker
Um, so glad you're both out. The Ram, uh, body is at Grigio's and... Why? Shouldn't have done it. That's why. I mean, I guess. Yeah. You didn't want them asking that kind of question.
00:25:10
Speaker
Well, there's that, but mainly I rather not have killed him and I... Why, he's tried to kill you twice now. Yeah. And me and... I don't know if he's ever specifically tried to kill Milo and Reynard, but...
00:25:40
Speaker
Oh, you see, I didn't see her. Yeah, you did not see her. Very startled. I'm glad you're OK. All of you. Yeah, Harris. Throws herself on all of like.
00:26:07
Speaker
Well, one arm. Right. And sort of falls apart a little bit. It's OK. I think in that gesture is when Hob sees Aerys' arm and decides he's not going to ask her to do something to help the ram right now. Where's Tasha? Where's the boat? We...
00:26:32
Speaker
Well, you tell me the game master, did we start following quickly enough that the boat was still where we left it? It was where you looked at when you, I mean, you all immediately started. Yeah. Uh, last I saw where she landed. All right. Let's go. Yeah. See if she's still there.
00:26:51
Speaker
Uh, when you all get to the spot, you see the, the, the spot where the boat was left, the wreckage, but, uh, the boat itself has been taken cleaned up out of the street. So, and there's already, um, like three wooden bridges built across the gap that, uh, that was blown. And are there any guard sitting around? No. There's scowls and turns around and begins walking back towards the watch station. Okay.
00:27:21
Speaker
So are you just going to inquire about the air walks in through the door up to the front desk? Yes, I obviously see it and you give me back myself. But I also had a very large skiff that left back and it's not there anymore. So I wonder if you could tell me something about that. Oh, yes, it's currently being transported to our our lower city level holding station. Just we didn't know who to send it to. Is there a place we were more than happy to drop it off?
00:27:53
Speaker
I will wait for it at the for sales. Okay, for sales. Okay, it's on its way there now. So we'll need to send communication down there once it arrives. So it'll probably be tomorrow before it can be delivered. You know, two of your guards got me right off of the thing. So you could think it would not be that hard to have worked out who it belonged to. I'm sorry you feel that way.
00:28:23
Speaker
That's how I apologize to people. It doesn't mean anything. Mutter is something in goblin and turns and storms out. Where is she reconnects with all who did not go in this time either? Olive did not go in out there.
00:28:50
Speaker
So, what? We need to get Ram out of there. Right. Look, you can... He kind of looks at... I mean, everybody. He's seen everybody heal, and again, he doesn't know what it takes. So, a sorted group, including Olive. You can tell me you don't want to be a part of it. Part of what? What is it that we don't want to be a part of now?
00:29:18
Speaker
Revive in the Ram. That's literally all I'm talking about. Why? Why what? Why are we reviving the Ram? I don't want to have killed him. He will still want to have killed you. Hob? And probably me.
00:29:42
Speaker
How does not going to explain to Aerith why he suddenly does not want to have killed the Ram? So, and I get that. Yeah, she's still gonna ask. Yeah, yeah. I said if you don't want to be a part of it, you don't have to be. If you don't want to help, I'll not think less of you. But it's something I don't want on me. Not right now.
00:30:17
Speaker
When you could take him to Drasko, but they're going to have more questions than answers and a large bill attached to it. Raynard, you do know that you do have the capacity to do healing magic to revive him, but. Oh, I thought we decided it was a mechanical thing. No, that's just like medicine and like tending to, but you could still cast healing magic on the Ram if you want to just.
00:30:45
Speaker
I kind of had another plan on what Reynard was going to do, but I guess I can help. You don't have to. I'm just letting you know that that, that you have the capacity to, if you want. Okay. Well, I think Reynard will say that to, um, if, if you can find anyone else, I can give it a shot. Right. Okay.
00:31:11
Speaker
Let's just hope he's grateful enough that he doesn't attempt to kill you again or Eris or any of the rest of us. Yeah, he seems entirely reasonable. Yes. Luke, I wasn't thinking straight. I wouldn't.
00:31:42
Speaker
Have killed him in the first place. I would have tried to have killed him if he was going to try to kill you. And I would not have hesitated. I'm sorry, Hob. I'm just trying really hard to understand. That's all. I will tell you
00:32:13
Speaker
no more than what I feel you need to know. So if you have any questions after this, you can kindly keep them to yourselves while I find someone to help me. I even did a lot of lives. I did so indiscriminately.
00:32:44
Speaker
for a long time. I don't want to be as reckless anymore. The Ram.
00:33:15
Speaker
Awful guy. I also take jobs to do awful things.
00:33:36
Speaker
Gosh, it's really hard to translate what Jeff wants to say into Hob doesn't know how to talk. Yeah. I want to put that out there. This is really difficult to say the just exact wrong thing that he means. Yeah. Um, I went too far.
00:34:06
Speaker
And I want to see if I can take one back. Well, Reynard, let's go see what you can do. So here's what I think happens.
00:34:36
Speaker
I think that whatever feels most dignified, if it's putting him, like propping him in a chair to be revived or just letting them lay on the floor, can't possibly be it. Right. So unless there's a bed, in which case, obviously we would just put him currently in a store room in the back. So you want to, you're on a crate, like as a chair, put them on a crate. Yeah. Everyone else is out, but me and Raynard.
00:35:02
Speaker
Oh, it's not great, but, you know, you're the only hope. It's two green or three green? No, you have a rank in it. It's a verse. Oh, one yellow, two green. Okay. So not terrible.
00:35:23
Speaker
I, assuming it's possible, I would like to be between the Ram and Reynard. Cause whatever happens, he's not coming back with a full cadre of hit points. I can do what I need to do if I need to do it. That's the big, that's the big part of this is this is an easily reversible experiment for Hobb too. Okay. Uh, so for resurrection is what we're doing. Um, it's going to be your verse against a five purple difficulty.
00:35:53
Speaker
of a story point at least. So that's one of these greens becomes the yellow most we've ever rolled of purples. And then can we get a boost because I really want it? I still have this leftover boost. OK, I do. Look at that. Do I want to risk a despair on this? I don't want to know what happens. You call it a risk? Is it a risk from the GM's perspective?
00:36:24
Speaker
Because it doesn't make it any more difficult from a math standpoint, so you're interested. Yeah, I'll go ahead and flip one, change one purple to a red. So we got a two yellow, one green, one blue, one red, four purple. Two blue, isn't it? Two blue. One blue. Nah, just one blue. I was joking about the boost because Hobb wants that to work. Uh-huh.
00:36:50
Speaker
Uh-uh. It didn't work. No, it didn't work. It didn't work at all. That's a lot of threat. So these two go away or? So much threat. Yeah. This is just gone, right? So four threat. It's just four threat. A wash with four threat. Oh, oh, that's so very, very, very bad. Yeah. Well.
00:37:17
Speaker
Let me take the brunt of whatever you decide to do. This is all Hob. What did you just put into that, Chassis? Oh, God. Just all my sass. It's just one big sassy robot now. I wasn't thinking so accidental soul transference, but I mean, that Raynard soul into the raim's body. I don't want to see what Trevor would do with it. That would be a lot easier to kill.
00:37:46
Speaker
So you know that whatever restorative magic you were seeking to do on the Ram does not work. You're focusing really hard and you feel. You feel something. It feels wrong.
00:38:14
Speaker
Oh, yes, that smack in the face. But nothing happens like you. Well, I think something happens. It was not telling me. Nothing happens in the immediate like you're looking the Rams body is still slumped over on this crate.
00:38:38
Speaker
So, yeah, something just felt wrong when you were trying to do it and it clearly didn't work. Tonight you will be visited by these spirits.
Failed Resurrection and Consequences
00:38:48
Speaker
I guess I should practice a little more often. I don't do this often enough, so. I think Hob. That's not how you spell resurrection.
00:39:06
Speaker
D-E-D-N-O. I think Hobbed just kind of... Well, thank you for making the effort.
00:39:28
Speaker
Now, do we know, does he work for Dinnith or does he take odd jobs? Definitely was working with Dinnith at that time, but that's all we know. Based on your experience with him, he seems kind of like a mercenary. Like, uh, cause I think he mentioned being paid on the, the train fight job. Like he mentioned something about being paid to come after you. Right. Right. But that was for the, I guess it was just, no, it was official bounty, wasn't it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
00:39:57
Speaker
Oh man. Probably saw the mounting post and was like, Oh yeah, I'll take a discount. Well, my note says, I'm sorry I couldn't do more, but I have to go talk to someone. Can I ask to resolve this in a cold open with you? Sure. Okay. I think I pay Grigio.
00:40:20
Speaker
room and board in the store room because I'm picking up that there's not board urgency yeah right because I have a thought about how I want to handle it but I really want to do it absolutely by myself and not potentially incriminate my friends because it's gonna be stupid but I like it
00:40:42
Speaker
Hopped in the throes of a breakdown. I don't know if you guys have a mental collapse. Yeah. Yeah, you can you can leave the body at Grigio's and the resolution will come later. What? I thought you guys what I want to do and watch you get mad at me. I don't see any reason why you can't. I mean, I will find out eventually. I'm going to contact Boom Rush and ask if he wants to revive one of his best collectors.
00:41:09
Speaker
with the message, you get one retry with me. That's what he's going to do. Okay. Does Phillip dislike it completely or just as what it might do? Phillip likes being able to spend experience. Okay. Um, so that's the reason I need to call open by the way.
00:41:32
Speaker
My Milo tells Grigio that once again, Grigio, many thanks. And next time you're at all funds, drinks are on me and I'll let him know if I'm not there, still drinks are on me. And don't worry. I would hope so. OK. It's been a hell of a day, Milo. Yes, yes, it has. Aris, all of us with you. Would you you wouldn't have gone into Grigio's I'm guessing or?
Reflection and Healing
00:42:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:02
Speaker
Uh, I mean, it was probably is going heading is walking sort of mindlessly back towards the for sales. Okay. Because she would like to sit down alone and go through the process. She would like to sit down, not outside it where everyone will see her and try and get the glove off of her hand. Well, all of us with you. Um, so, uh, all of walks would be back. Probably be helpful. She good this. How, how's your hand?
00:42:31
Speaker
Um, I'm pretty sure the gloves melted onto it. So it's not great. Yeah. What, what happened? It malfunctioned. I was trying to disrupt the magic in that source led. I did, but something, something went wrong in the device, I think. And it exploded and caught fire. Hmm.
00:42:57
Speaker
What? What's your power source for the glove? Dragon shards. It's this big. Well, it was there. It was a plate with dragon shard. Residuum mixed into the alloy. What grade were you using? Remember? It was Eberron. Eberron shard. Yeah. Those will be unstable. Yeah.
00:43:26
Speaker
And you all arrive at the for sales and often is, uh, as soon as you walk, walk in, what happened? Um, the big war force is probably dead. Uh, there's a, uh, love for that to be certainly, but well, I would love that to be certainly too, but I can't really say it is, um, uh, Nordstrom mill hatch has gone insane and started throwing bombs around.
00:43:52
Speaker
And there was a big collapse. I imagine quite a lot of people are dead. Somewhere down below. Also, I need to peel this off of me hand. So I'm going to go sit down and maybe just. I'll get you some bandages and alcohol. Yes, that's probably good.
00:44:20
Speaker
And they'll, for the next time, Grigio's in a drink stall. You are not there yet. Oh, Milo. You are not there. You are at Grigio's. This is why all of this other business was happening. Ah, nevermind. So yeah, go ahead and make a medicine check.
00:44:43
Speaker
What is the difficulty of the medicine check? Uh, two purple. You can have a blue for all of his health. I'm just trying to get this glove off, right? That's what we're rolling for. Okay. What does medicine go off of? Intellect. Yes, intellect. That's good. Um, why not? Yeah. Make one of those purples of red. Would you like to flip one?
00:45:18
Speaker
That peaked on a despair. I've succeeded with two advantage. Success with two advantage. Okay, so yeah. I'm just going to heal strain. With all of his help, you're able to get the bits of the glove, the leather and the metal and everything out from the skin. Real gruesome. Yeah. Ulfin gives you a healthy supply of alcohol to deal with the pain and you're able to bandage it up easily enough. Okay, so once you all are done at Grigio's,
00:45:48
Speaker
What then? Well, I've already left. Oh, right. You were going to talk to somebody.

I caught Matthew Falmais' cigarette when I got a call from the secretary. And you hear faintly. You can give a perception check if you want to try to listen more, but you just hear her talking faintly.
00:48:12
Speaker
Um, he said that he would meet you at the, uh, the statue in the center of North Market, which you were called the big like shrine statue. Yes. Thank you very much. You're most welcome. Um, so you arrive at the, the statue and you see Basil standing nearby, um, kind of like leaning up against the statue, which it's a holy shrine. So just.
00:48:43
Speaker
Yes. I'm just here to make your day. Oh, I knew you'd come calling eventually crawling back. Yes, but I want to make it quick because if you can't help me, I have to move on. Don't make it quick. Let me relish it for a moment. Come on. I owe you a lot and I'm willing
