Hello and
Host Introductions and Game Recap
00:01:14
Speaker
welcome to Ever Underneath an actual play podcast at Never Underneath main set. I'm your game master, Eric. I'm Philip. I'm Trevor. I'm Randy. I'm Jeff. Gentlemen, what happened last time? Who cares? You ruined our lives. Ruined a life. Well.
00:01:32
Speaker
Satan's dead, Satan's dead. Satan's dead, Kath's amassed vigilante on a murder spree. Ace is gonna get everything ruined by robbing the rich part of town. With a big sign that says, Hob told me to look around. Raynard's dagger is in Satan's body and I'm still on the lam. Cops still looking for Raynard, telling him to talk to somebody other than Verla, which is probably a trap.
00:02:01
Speaker
And we started the whole thing with, oh no, these two guys are missing, they're in their own home. Around a corner in their own home. And mad at us. And one of them was really upset with us. Yeah, fine. Anyway, Satan's dead. Yeah. Well, is he dead? Everybody's having a bad night. Satan is dead. That's what's happening. Everybody's having a bad night. Satan is
Is Satan Truly Dead?
00:02:23
Speaker
not moving, including chest up and down movement.
00:02:28
Speaker
Milo still goes to check. He's notoriously good at holding his breath. So Milo goes to Satan's body. Somebody tell Malcolm. No, no, no, no. We're not telling anyone anyway. Yes, we are. My dagger is in his body.
00:02:44
Speaker
And your body was in the lobby a second ago. We're gonna be okay. Good. And I'm home for the body. Olive, Eris turns around and goes out the door. You
Family's Reaction and Confrontation
00:02:56
Speaker
are blocked by bodies entering the door. Oh no more bodies.
00:03:00
Speaker
Body's falling. Just tumbling in the closet. What check for me? A group enters the room, and you'll be able to make your check wall. Mela, Elira, Viggo, Lissa, Tarvel, and Corin, all into the room. How many of those people do we know? And Viggo, but they're all department heads, right? No, Mela is Satan's wife. Elira is Satan's daughter. Right. That one I remember, yeah. Tarvel is head of the pier. Lad's Corin is Tarvel's son.
00:03:30
Speaker
and Lissa is head of the Ravens. Okay. What are they all doing here right now? Well, you know that... Framing us. Tarrville's wife Erin is Satan's sister, so Tarrville is his brother-in-law, and Lissa is Satan's cousin. So these are all Satan's family. So, Alira screams, Mayla screams, Viggo shouts, what are you making a check on?
00:03:53
Speaker
I'm just, I just want to see if there's any way medicine check. Yeah. I would be clear. I said I wanted to shop for help before they walked in. Did I get a shout off before they came in? Yeah. You shouted Malcolm as they were running in. Okay. Okay. Medicine check. I want to see if there's any way.
00:04:11
Speaker
Give me a hard, so three purple, but make one around. I'm going to flip a story point, give you all one back. We have a story point. We have story points. Is it worth flipping? Yes. Nope. Yes, it's worth it. Now wait, is this a message check to revive him or see that he's dead? Cause it might not have been worth it. I don't know. We're going to find out. Is that because it was to see if anything can be done? Okay. Then maybe it's worth it. Okay.
00:04:38
Speaker
Is I don't see that's I got three three of those And one of this cancels that one so that just becomes one so you yeah, there you go
00:04:52
Speaker
Two success and one advantage. Two advantage. Two advantage. Two success, two advantage. So with the two success, you can tell the dagger went through his heart. So pretty definitive killing blow. How many hearts do halflings have? Additionally, on the upper part of the blade that's still sticking out of the chest, mixing with the blood, you can see some kind of substance on it, clearly like the blade was augmented with some kind of poison or potion or something along those lines.
00:05:24
Speaker
But you could use the advantage to gain more information about that if you like.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah,
Investigating the Murder Scene
00:05:33
Speaker
I think that might be beneficial for us. OK. Yeah, with your arcane knowledge, Milo, you recognize this as you don't know the name of it, but you've heard tale of it, especially in assassin circles with healing magic, resurrection magic, things like that being so prevalent in a world like Eberron. Naturally, some things have been created to prevent that kind of magic from being effective against a person.
00:06:01
Speaker
So you get the sense that any attempt to resurrect Satan short of a wish or true resurrection spell would fail. So he did. Eris runs over to the window. Is there any evidence of Egress?
00:06:20
Speaker
If there are multiple windows, Hobb probably does a similar thing. No evidence that anybody broke anything or anything like that. Aerosol like swing yourself out over with her boots and scramble down a little bit. I want to just see, is there any evidence of how someone came in or how someone went out at all?
00:06:42
Speaker
Is this door the only entrance and exit? Yes, but all of those bay windows are open air. Perception check with a two red, one purple. Sorry, architecturally intended. And I'll give you a story point back, so go ahead and upgrade it. Yeah, I've failed. I've just got three advantage. Perception, two red, one purple.
00:07:08
Speaker
I mean, I'll roll it because I said I was going, but there's no way I've asked this thing. I mean, you don't have to. OK, because I'm just one yellow, one green for perception. I'm not going to win this roll. OK. OK, anybody else doing anything in the immediate aftermath? Reynard, Hob, you all have not made checks. You are more than welcome to make a check before the family gets to act. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. If my last time, he would go to Satan's life to try to console her. OK, we'll get to that.
00:07:37
Speaker
I was thinking about just turning around and trying to stand. Like, my first thought would be, this is the family. I might just try to stand in the visual way and let them choose if they wanted to come around and see or not, because some people might not want to see that. But I don't think I'm, I can't think of anything I would do to make a check, because all I want to do is be like, yeah, it wasn't us. But I don't want to scream that as soon as they walk in. Reinard? Well, knowing that he's prone to making mistakes, Reinard just does nothing.
00:08:07
Speaker
Okay. You know what? Actually I'm going to yell for Malcolm again and I'm just going to say we just, we just came in and saw and found this as well. Uh, Eric, do you see anything? Okay. Um, so at this point, yeah, I know, but, um, uh, Vigo start shouting, um, for, um, he turns to
00:08:31
Speaker
Corin who's kind of at the back. It's like go get all the goals get them in here now and Viggo points a finger at Reynard. Reynard I don't know why I don't know how and he just like gets red in the face.
00:08:53
Speaker
You don't know why or how because he didn't do it, Vigo. Shut up. We just walked in. Shut up. Don't talk to me like that. Shut up. Do not talk to me like that. You just killed my uncle. I didn't touch your uncle. I cannot get on this. I can't get on this. What you have to say. Alira is sobbing. Of course she is. Vigo doesn't want to yell at me right now. Vigo's yelling at you. Punch him. Punch him. He gets one more. Punch him right in the face. Shut up. Everybody center the room right now.
00:09:22
Speaker
He's not our boss anymore, right? Look, we're all gonna figure this out together, but you don't- I'm not interested in what you have to say right now. I'm not interested in you ordering me to see you in a room with my uncle's dead body with your friend's dagger buried in his chest. Look, I admit it looks terrible. And one of your friends by the window looking for a way to get out. Looking for someone who got out? I'm not interested in what you have to say. Well, you should listen to what I have to say because I walked in here before you did. Shut up. Yeah.
00:09:50
Speaker
Let's do it. And one opportune time for you and the family to show up, Viggo. Ooh! At this point, the goals are walking into the room. Viggo just points at Raynard, shut him up, and the goals begin to walk into the room.
00:10:13
Speaker
Milo wants to walk over to you wife you all hear how many goals walked into the room there are Also, I still look like you're in here real quick remind me cuz I haven't thought okay, so Torvald is the Raynard for in these dark
Attempts to Flee and Escalating Tensions
00:10:28
Speaker
probably hutch plus seven other goals walk into the room So eight total eight total goals Tarvel and corner so fighters you all yes
00:10:38
Speaker
A lot of shouting broke out in the room while Eris is hanging out on the wall. And Eris, I mean, Eris has been saying it was going to end up this way for a long time, I would just like to point out, needlessly and without justification. But she's still kind of feel vindicated about it. Anyway, while the shouting's going, Eris summons Tasha. OK.
00:11:03
Speaker
Not Eris because Eris is kind of out of the room, but yeah. How far away was Vigo when he started yelling about that special knife with the engraved blade being in? Because that's what it ties it to you, right? Is the blade is engraved, the blade that's inside of Vigo or the inside of Satan? The handle, I mean, it's a little bit different. Yeah, yeah. No, it's important to know the difference there. The entire dagger is very recognized. It should be fairly the only thing he would have seen would have been the handle. Yeah, because. Right. Before, I mean, like on me too. Oh, OK. He wouldn't have seen the blade.
00:11:32
Speaker
You all, you three, hear a voice in your head. You hear Tarble's voice in your head. And Tarble says, I don't know what's happening. Get out. We'll figure it out. Don't die. And that's what Tarble says.
00:11:55
Speaker
You see Tarval kind of standing at the back, like with his arm around Mala, like comforting her. Kory looks confused and scared. Alira is crying. Viggo is... U3 can make me a perception check on Viggo. How difficult of a perception check. This is going to be one red to purple.
00:12:28
Speaker
I'll give you one back. Make one of yours a red, one purple red. Upgrade the difficulty of your check. I'm giving you a story point back. So does that mean we all have to upgrade that? Just that one check. I'll try. No despairs. So these cancel. These cancel. So I just fail with an advantage.
00:12:55
Speaker
Failure with one advantage? Yeah. OK. You want to heal one of the strain that you've been taking all night? Sure. Are you going to check, Randy? Much more of a stressful situation than I ever did. Perception on vego. Oh, hey. I failed. No, I didn't fail. I did not. No, I succeed with four threat. There's a residual toxin in the air that specifically targets vego. With your success.
00:13:24
Speaker
Viggo's not being truthful in this situation. His emotions and what's going on. Yeah, no kidding. Hey, hey, Hob knows. Joe Biden knows. With my triumph. Look, I have an idea for my triumph. You're probably not going to let it fly. I don't want to say it right this second. I have such a good idea for my triumph. Say it! Say it! Look, obviously, Eris is going to let us know she's called Tasha. Yes? Yes. We have sending stones. We'll hear it. Yep.
00:13:49
Speaker
You'll know. I can't see any reason that when Tasha flies out of here, Hob's not bear hugging Viggo with us. Can that be Viggo? Okay. Yes. That's exactly what I... Because I was going to try that anyway. The triumph making it easier even would be... Philip, very proud of you. Eris will be furious unless the first thing we do is drop him off the side of the ship. I mean, not to spoil it, but he's going to be clearly held over the... I'm so much bigger and stronger than him, he cannot stop me from holding over them. One red, two purple.
00:14:21
Speaker
The next thing Aeris would do when the moment is available. One value, three advantage. OK. You want to heal some string? Yes. OK. So one per advantage? Yeah. So you could heal three string. OK. So real quick before we do what Hob's going to do with his triumph.
Tasha's Help and Viggo's Capture
00:14:39
Speaker
Aeris switches frequencies and calls Olive. OK. Are you still at the party? Yeah. I'm helping clean up. Stay there. Close to Sana. Stay. OK.
00:14:52
Speaker
OK. So triumph. So you want to use the triumph to grab Viggo? No. I want to use the triumph to win Tasha shows up, because Tasha's showing up. And we are going to leave because Tarble just told us to get out. And I can't imagine any reason we don't heed those words. On my way past Viggo. Well, OK. Assuming a suit or whatever it takes. Lay out of the room. They walked in through the door.
00:15:19
Speaker
They're there. You all are more in the middle of the room. The bays are behind you. So you would have to grab- Where's Satan? Satan is like between you and the windows. Between us. And the windows. Yeah. Because you said you tried to step in between- Yes, I did. Yes, I did. So, but Viggo didn't care enough about his uncle to go over and actually get close enough to him?
00:15:37
Speaker
He was more concerned about the people in the room. I may be willing to use the triumph to say that he did that, and then just do whatever check I need to to grab him on the way out. Because I'm so much bigger and stronger. I'm shipping doing this. I'm so much bigger and stronger than him. I feel like I would pass that check.
00:15:51
Speaker
How do we do? I feel though that you don't use the triumph for that and you have to come over to get him They're gonna be able to respond that you've started entering the room use the triumph to use the triumph because we can go is exactly the kind of
00:16:09
Speaker
person who's gonna make an absurdly exaggerated show of his outrage and grief and run over to his uncle's body to show off how meaningful it all is and also let people identify him with a nice fancy desk.
00:16:28
Speaker
You also know Hutch walking into the room. Hutch, I think, is the only person that has taken Hob to a stalemate in an arm wrestling contest at the party. So you know that Hutch is strong. Or wait, is it vice versa? Hob's the only person that could hutch to a stalemate? I think for both of you. You are probably the strongest person the other one is. Because he beat somebody before I walked up there, I think, right? Yes. And you also said that those three heard Tarvel, but I didn't. No, you three, Eris didn't, because Eris was outside investigating other stuff. It's a line of sight.
00:16:57
Speaker
I have a good relationship with Hutch, though, right? Isn't he the one that we went and sparred with? Or not sparred with, but went to their sparring grounds, training grounds and stuff? You all were friendly, but unlike Tarvel that you've had an ongoing relationship with, Hutch thinks you all are cool, but doesn't like...
00:17:14
Speaker
The evidence is
Chase and Aerial Escape
00:17:15
Speaker
pretty damning in this particular situation. Absolutely. I'm not going to have a problem with Hutch acting on instinct. I was trying to remember if we had a in with him or not. Unfriendly terms, but not close. Okay, so what I'm going to say then is that triumph, because I said the triumph is something to do with kidnapping Vigo.
00:17:33
Speaker
What are you suggesting I was saying it was? What was in your head? You know what I'm saying? I was explaining the difficulty. Basically, I was saying with the layout of the room currently as it is, you can use the triumph to have an opportunity to grab Viggo, but you're going to have to run up, grab him, and cross the entire room, which some of the goals would get a shot off at you as you ran out. Sure. And that makes total sense. I expected that. OK.
00:17:56
Speaker
So, but now what I'm saying is, can I say the triumph is, Viggo gets histrionic, so that way I have a little easier time, hopefully, still whatever checks I need to do to grab him and run. I was expecting that to be the outcome anyway. So you use the triumph, Viggo tells the goals to gather you up in the room and makes his way over to Satan's body, so the goals are
00:18:16
Speaker
approaching you all, but have not obviously encircled you completely. So, I guess athletics to grab and pick up Viggo. Before this happens, can Milo say something or no? What are you trying to say? I just want to... Viggo's probably gonna yell at you, but you're more than happy to talk. Yes, but I'm going to say it more. The idea that Milo would kill Satan is insane. Yes.
00:18:46
Speaker
Milo just wants to express that, you know, the wife and the daughter, I'm sorry, we and Raynaud did not do this in such a way. What? We and Raynaud. Not the other person in this room. Well, Raynaud was specifically accused. I know, I know, no, no, no. And I would like for her to make a, can she make a check on Milo's?
00:19:17
Speaker
No, you make HR on chat. Yes, that's what I mean. Against her. But I like that you started to dissociate us from Reynard in case this goes south. I appreciate that it was a week and Reynard. I'll say Reynard is not in the room. Reynier is. They know the difference. I've never done it in front of BPO. The clan would know who Reynier and Reynard are. No, you just got to eat that one, Trevor. They recruited you.
00:19:45
Speaker
Eric said that with a sort of confidence, you've got to go, yeah, you are. I don't know about vego. So what are we doing? Also, it was my therani cousin, and we know that vego works with the therani. Okay, three purple. I'm going to flip a story point, make one of those red. And with the circumstances, we're going to have two setback die on the check.
00:20:12
Speaker
Do I get any boost because they know Milo and they know the relationship? Sure, you can have a boost because of Milo's reputation within the clan. Milo's famously obsequious to Satan, I mean. And do we have all the story points? You currently have all the story points. Give me another boost, please. That's an upgrade, I mean. Also, I had a bunch of unspent advantage, so take another boost. Also, I want you to win, so go ahead and take a couple more greens. Scratch that last one. Throw a couple more greens on there for me.
00:20:41
Speaker
That's 12 dice. Nice. Three success, one advantage, one triumph, one despair. Oh my god. That is a very good roll. Yeah. Other than the despair. The despair adds quality. That's flavor. This is a spicy roll. This is a situation where there would be
Reflection and Future Plans
00:21:02
Speaker
a despair. Okay, so Alira is too inconsolable. She's like, but Mala,
00:21:09
Speaker
looks at you and you can see a look of recognition in her eyes and understanding. One advantage, you just want to heal some strain or pass a boost or? I'm going to heal the strain. OK. Triumph and a despair. So V goes at the body, wailing. Goals are moving into the room. Eris is called Tasha. Sissy.
00:21:36
Speaker
Uh, not because of the cry, because of the backup. No, just because he is. Okay. Like, it's okay. His uncle's dead. He's a dry little. If he's being genuine, this is perfectly acceptable. Yeah. Um. Super traumatic. Can I use, I have something for my triumph real quick. Yeah. I can get that in. I love that. What if
00:21:59
Speaker
Who's the big hulking guy? Hutch. Hutch. Hob. The other one. And we already know that. What if Hutch and whoever else, not everybody in the room, but somebody else in the room of any importance believes what Milo said also? Is that too much?
00:22:24
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Somebody else over. So yeah, we'll say that Hutch, you see Hutch likes looking at you and looking at Mala and you see him kind of start or stop, give pause for a brief second. You think you may have gotten through to him as well. The despair. Everybody else wants to kill us now.
00:22:55
Speaker
Eris, you spot a skiff coming in hot with three figures, but from a distance you can recognize the glowing red eye of Okan, the Reynard's cousin that you encountered in the Arrheni warehouse. He had like one eye that was a red crystal.
00:23:19
Speaker
and they are coming in hot your direction. Where's Tasha? Tasha's coming up. Tasha is there. Oh, Tasha's here. Okay. I didn't realize Tasha was here. Yeah. Okay. Did I have things I wanted to? Good. I was waiting for Tasha. Too many things are happening at once.
00:23:36
Speaker
You can do something, and everyone has enough time to hop into the boat and get gone. But essentially, you've triggered a chase sequence. Sure, sure. So four year olds get away. So real quick, what does Eris want to do? And then we'll have Hob do the Vigo thing. No, I mean, the second that Tasha is swooping up, Eris just lets go and drops onto Tasha and then throws the stick around so that the back end of Tasha just swings in through the open window. OK.
00:24:04
Speaker
Yeah, she does. She does exactly that. It's so cool. So, um, yeah, Viggo, like, looks up and, uh...
00:24:16
Speaker
Take down that skiff! And some of the goals begin making their way over there. Hob, athletics check to grab Viggo. Well, I have a thought. I have a question. So he's distracted, you get a boost? Are we considering this an encounter yet? Or will you? Here's the thing. I have an incidental. It's Headbutt. If I Headbutt Viggo, he's knocked prone and disoriented, which means I could just grab him by the scruff and drag him into the skiff, right? Disoriented means he has a black die on any checks he makes.
00:24:44
Speaker
Right, I'm talking about the knocked-prone bit. I would let you have some boosts to grab him, but not just an automatic success. Because he's still going to fight against you. Like, he's dazed, but not out, if that makes sense. OK. Well, then I'm going to use my headbutt incidental as I run past him. I'm just going... Yes, I know he's a halfling, and I'm in Goliath. It works, though. I don't know how, but it does. You just scoop him up, bro. It's like you scoop him into the air fight. So you two... Hob sprints to Vigo and headbutts him. What are you two doing?
00:25:13
Speaker
running to the skiff. Running to the skiff? Do we know the skiff's there? Yeah. I mean, it's just in the window. That beautiful bird is ready to fly. And Eris is on the back with the, with the, Eris assumes we're killing everyone in the room, frankly, and has the, has the Fletcher out. The, the blast disc launcher is in it. Eris is ready to throw down.
00:25:35
Speaker
I'm not not ready to do that, but I'm trying to avoid it. I have enough gadgets on me. I think we could kill them. Okay, so what's the check that I need to do or do I need to make it? Raynard, let's go. Raynard's already gone. I've been waiting to get you to let me go for like 12 minutes. Somebody tell me how to resolve it. There is exactly one area in which Raynard and Eris are in exactly the right place and that is when it is time to run.
00:25:59
Speaker
Two purple difficulties. Always. Two boosts die because he's prone. Make one red, one purple of red. I'm gonna, oh wait, wrong way. Give you all the story points again. Okay, double checking here. You're probably gonna get one back. He should get one back. It doesn't matter what your pool is. What's my difficulty again? Two purple, but I'm upgrading to one red, one purple. And you have two boosts die. Flip one back. Get out of my hand.
00:26:28
Speaker
Okay. Think, describe your pool for the people. I have four yellows, uh, two blues, a green, a red, and a purple. I'm feeling good. That's good. Good pool. I mean, we've seen stranger things happen. Yeah. Okay. You're good. Yeah. Okay. So good. You're so good. We got them. I have one, two, three, four, five success, a triumph and a threat. Okay.
00:26:57
Speaker
Five success, a triumph and a threat. Yeah. Take a pointy straight. I'll take a straight. Do a critical injury.
00:27:05
Speaker
I'm assuming I shouldn't try and grab my dagger. But real hard. Mm-hmm. No, good lord, no. That's up to you, Trevor. I have the thought. Do you say you're taking your dagger? No, I said I'm assuming I shouldn't try to grab my dagger. It's on the way. It is on the way. I have the thought of what I want to do with the triumph, but it's going to involve you. I mean, obviously they all involve you making it permissible. Here's what's up.
00:27:32
Speaker
I have a talent, plausible deniability. It's a hard coercion check. It says bystander equal to your willpower to depart quietly. I would love to as the last thing I do as Tasha takes off is to tell Hutch to back off.
00:27:52
Speaker
I mean, they'd make the check and everything, but that's what I'm saying. I feel like I need the triumph to be able to make this check. I'm going to do one hutch over, though. I mean, you one hutch over, hutch still has a job to do. Would this convince him to back off in that regard? If not, I'm not going to waste a triumph. Or does Eris have to shoot him? Don't want that.
00:28:10
Speaker
No, you can you can do the triumph to also give hutch pause enough to not Pursue and try to leap and grab the back of the skip which is what was going to happen. Okay, so yeah He's got a grip on him too, man. I remember
00:28:26
Speaker
I'm fine with having the trifleist, you guys had another idea. I don't want to shoot Hutch, but that is what was about to happen. Right. Okay, so as you headbutt Viggo, scoop him under his arm, Viggo's like flailing, confused. You actually roll one more blue because you should have gotten that for him being disoriented since he's in a post-check. You know what, actually should have gotten, depending, with Ring Fighter, I should have gotten one more blue because it's one on one. You weren't attacking. That's what I was gonna say, depending. Alright, one more blue.
00:28:57
Speaker
There's two more, so that brings it from a threat to an advantage. So get rid of the strain you just took and heal it if you want. Yeah, I can do that. Okay, so three of the goals... I haven't been... I have, there's no way I have any strain. You've been flipping so many story points and I haven't been taking them off. There's no way I have any strain, so I'll pass an advantage to you every next, for a boost.
00:29:18
Speaker
So three of the goals are in range to take shots at you as you run across the room. So you're going to get attacked three times as you go. So God, I got some wounds on me too, fellas. Well, those three goals are about to be.
00:29:30
Speaker
Yeah, right, they're gonna regret doing it. And if I'm in the boat at this point, I guess I'm sitting on Viggo to keep him, because he's not getting out of this boat until we choose to, at whatever altitude that is. What's Viggo's encumbrance? I have a special compartment for things on the boat. This is the pool that they're rolling each time. Say it again, I'm sorry. This is the pool that they're rolling, two yellow, one blue, one purple.
00:29:59
Speaker
Yeah, make it a red. We still have more story points than you. I mean, this is the first attempt, so you're making the first attack a red and then it'll reverse back. That's a triple, unless you want to keep flipping them. Nah, I don't. That's a despair. Cool. Nice. Oh, no, the second guy's gun jammed. Somehow. What are they shooting with?
00:30:20
Speaker
Um, they actually have, uh, spiked like, uh, like, I'm trying to spike lemonade. It's like a crossbow, like a harpoon, but the bolt is attached to a chain. So it's ensnaring. Okay. So they're, they're trying to stop you from getting. Yeah. Like a harpoon. Yeah. It's like a, like a harpoon on, on a, yeah. Uh, and just the spear phishing. Yes. That's what I'm trying to think of.
00:30:44
Speaker
So that is one success, five advantage and a despair. That was a success? Oh, I forgot to cancel that. That cancels. Yeah, so just five advantage and a despair. So they miss, but they're going to pass boost to the next that attacks because they don't have anything better. Or actually they'll give an upgrade. What's the despair do? I mean, what is the despair game? I still want them to shoot me though.
00:31:13
Speaker
Don't have any problem with that. Oh, I mean actually should have been because if ego is engaged with you Mm-hmm. Oh so that that's just what the despair does, huh? I mean, I didn't upgrade it for that right up to story point right doesn't have to But they shouldn't he'll be on a chain. So it's more of a despair for us because now we're stuck. Yeah I don't want it to I would like to make this the hilarious suggestion simply because being
00:31:37
Speaker
being a warforged he won't suffer like long-term harm from this I want to say he accidentally like puts his bolt puts his harpoon in Hutch oh who's in the midst of chasing and so now Hutch is attached to that's a good despair I mean you've already stopped I mean you can yeah that's fine well that's fair I don't know stopped him longer
00:31:58
Speaker
It would be equally funny if he carpooned the boat, which also doesn't take damage, and we shag out of there and he's just dangling upon the shore. I mean, that's true. He's welcome to come with us. Or you could use the despair just to apply that upgrade to the next person that shoots. I mean, that's not fun, but that is an option with the despair. I actually don't hate that at all. Yeah, I don't hate that. Let's just prevent you from being knocked out in the middle of this. I'd really like to not be. Oh, by the way, I forgot. I took a talent. I have defense three for range now. Dope. Well, we forgot about that.
00:32:27
Speaker
Okay, so this pool is very different. It is two yellow, one green, three blue, three black, one red. Nice. Okay. There's so many. All those black came up like one success.
00:32:43
Speaker
All the blue came up blank also. Unbelievable. So, Hob, that is eight damage before soak. Which is 10. Yeah. Oh, right. Your soak is 10? Yeah, it bounced off me, Eric. You gave him that crazy armor. No, that was the arm. My soak is 10. And I'll double check after this if I need to, but I'm 99% sure that was not augmented.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yes, I took Armor Master last session. That brought it up one, and then now I'll run it up the rest. Gotcha. Okay, and the final attack is two yellow, one purple, three black, one blue. And I'm gonna flip the story point to make the... I think this is the one that's gonna get me, guys. But I got no strain. All of the negative dice came up blank.
00:33:40
Speaker
Oof. Shoot. Is bade. So two success, three advantage. Okay. So that's nine damage. Um, you, you have to do damage to crit, but you don't have to do damage to activate the ability. Okay. So hob is ensnared. Cool. Eris returns fire and I'm spending a story point to turn on the blast disc. Okay.
00:34:04
Speaker
So you're shooting at the goal that has... I'm shooting at that... Well, hopefully I'm shooting at all of them. Yeah, I guess if you shoot his hand off, he's holding the gun. I'm no longer ensnared. I'm just dragging a gun. I mean, as long as you get on the ship. Okay, you are short range, so it's just one purple difficulty. I don't like having to kill these guys right now, but... I don't love it, but, well, I don't love it. Eris is extremely vengeful, as is well established.
00:34:36
Speaker
All the dice are coming out. Would you like to make that greeny yellow? I'm gonna aim though. Okay. You do have four story points. I never aim!
00:34:48
Speaker
I just spent one because I spent one to turn on my special ability, so I can't. Let me flip that. There we go. I have succeeded. I have two successes and six advantage. First of all, that is 11 damage Pierce two to the guy that shot Hobb.
00:35:13
Speaker
Oh, nope, it's 13 because I took the heroic ability upgrade that I get plus two damage when I activated it. Okay, so 13 damage pierce two, and then it explodes for two advantage, and I will deal blast five to the... It's everyone that's engaged. Everyone that's engaged, so I assume it's just that cluster of... Yeah, we're not killing the family, are we? No. Okay. If it was short range, then yes, it's fine. Please don't kill the family.
00:35:40
Speaker
Philip really would be very unhappy, but Eris is just unloading, is what's happening here. And I still have three... No, I still have four advantage left. I can't blast more than once, right? That's not a thing. No, it's once per attack.
00:36:09
Speaker
can i spend them to say he loses his like he he when the blast disc explodes in his face he drops his weapon yeah disarmed us yeah yeah that's what it is it's an incidental i'm dragging it as he lives as there's a harpoon through his calf muscle um he's had worse
00:36:29
Speaker
That would be painful. Yeah, no You're right. That all is happening. Okay, so Yeah, you all are able to all get into the skiff Tasha goes Tasha goes and Eris do you point out to the rest of them the fact that you all have company? Uh, I was gonna say Reynard's on the skiff and has already noticed Yeah, finally so I was already gonna have
00:36:55
Speaker
One of my special arrows drawn. Oh, okay. So let me get right. You do have a, you do have like the, you're the Hawkeye quiver. You don't need that handgun at all. I was going to just, my thought was just to aim at the skiff, but I was like, am I gonna have to roll huge to injure a skiff?
00:37:16
Speaker
Yes, yeah, it depends on or your special arrow would have to be magically in the area acidic or I was gonna take a The boxing glove arrow at the skin So I don't so I guess I'll just aim but the driver I don't know how far away are they are there long range. That's gonna be three purple difficulty Okay work
00:37:44
Speaker
And would you like to flip a story point to make one of those greens yellow? Yeah, okay. Okay, so I guess I'm just aiming for the driver. Yep, so Raynard hops in as Hobb is loading in with Vigo dragging the crossbow behind him, Raynard lets loose an arrow.
00:38:06
Speaker
So I have... Oh, that's not so bad at all. Five success? Five success. Okay, so you deal 12 damage to the driver. You didn't get enough advantage to activate the special arrow property, unfortunately. But still, it's a sharp pointy stick that hits him hard. Right, this red crystal eyeball. No, he wasn't the driver. Fine. Well, they both had red crystal eyeballs. Just forgot to mention the others. That's why I didn't aim for him. I wanted him to see me.
00:38:33
Speaker
There's one good eye. Hey, we have no idea how good the other eye is. That could honestly be a much better eye.
00:38:41
Speaker
Technology tends to exceed human potential. This is a red painted rock. Okay, we will take off hot glued onto his face. So you all are zipping through the night air of Sharn. You have a skiff with three Thrawny assassins on your tail. Skill challenge gang. So how would you all like to make a getaway? What's Viggo doing?
00:39:04
Speaker
Um, Viggo's reeling from the head butt still, beginning to fight against your grip and like, let me go. And I will say, and I say to him, letting you go is over the side. And I, and I lift him up so we can see that we are in the air above Sharn now. Tie him up. You've got that cord on your leg. That's right. And I say, and your guys shot me. So I'm very tired as I'm dangling him, not like fully over the end, but you feel me, right? Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:33
Speaker
And then yes, I will take the cord. If it's like a metal chain, it wouldn't work for this, but if it's like rope. Yeah. Yeah, I might just bind his legs and wrists, not like full tie up. Okay. Well, I was doing that. Are there any crates or anything on Tasha? Sure. Okay. Well, Raynard's kind of big man. So Raynard's going to take a little harpoon of that thing and just stick it through his hands into a crate. What? So you have pinned Vigo to a crate. Vigo's hand. Yeah.
00:40:03
Speaker
I wasn't thinking that, because it's going to hurt real bad when I take it out to dangle him over the edge later. Because that's going to have to happen. I don't think Raynard's concerned about the main event. Nope. I don't think he is. Milo, are you doing anything to help you escape? He shouldn't have pointed it from home. Or are you going to torture Biko?
00:40:18
Speaker
Would you give us those options? I want to help with the escape. I just needed to know what Viggo was doing. You assume priorities, like that's fine. I just feel like it's one of those times for... Oh boy. Creepy magic. Milo's head to puff smoke. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Milo's mystical head wound. So what are you gonna do, Milo? Out.
00:40:46
Speaker
from his head in the wispy black smoke. What's a, like a, I'm trying to think. Was that like a, it sounds like what you'd say to a baby. You know, a flying creature, but I don't necessarily want it to be a dragon. Maybe what's something smaller? Like there could be three of them. Like a cat. Three chimera.
00:41:13
Speaker
three chimera. Are you summoning actual chimera, or are you just describing what you spell looks like? No, it's basically, it's in-sorcelled. Okay, yeah. They have to make a hard discipline check. If they fail, they have to spend all their maneuvers to get away from Milo. They suffer five sprain. That's very good in a chase. And five strain and an additional strain per branch. That's the opposite of a chase. Yeah, makes him retreat, in fact.
00:41:42
Speaker
It gives us some space. Hard. Yes. OK. As these chimeras just come flying straight out. This is their check currently. Anything you all would like to do to influence it? You know what? I'll give you. For this is for Okan, the first one that's going to go. The other two will have to make separate rolls.
00:42:07
Speaker
Let's see, if I'm going to spend anything, I think it's going to be against the driver. Yeah, I feel the same way. Three purple. We'll wait and spend the story pointing against the driver. That is four threat and three success. So Okan, I'll just have Okan take four points of strain, resolving himself against the terrifying things.
00:42:34
Speaker
Okay, this is for the non-driver, the other one. That is one advantage, one failure. Nice. Cool, so this one's freaking out. And for the driver. Okay, can we give the driver setbacks as one of those freaking out now? Sure. And go and flip a story point. He's got an arrow in it. Flip a story point. Yeah, because you know that one of them is screaming turn around, turn around, turn around, so.
00:43:01
Speaker
I think that's what we can do to it. I think we've augmented all we can.
00:43:10
Speaker
I saw that triumph spin for a second. Two success, two threats. And this is the one that's in the full face mask with the long black hair coming out of it. It's playing comforting music. He didn't even notice the cut hair. So the female assassin is the one freaking out. The driver steals himself.
00:43:35
Speaker
but takes some strain. They're freaking out, but pushing. So they use all their maneuvers to get as far away as possible, but they don't jump over the side of the skiff to their death. They're beseeching the driver. They're freaking out, turn around, turn around, turn around. So he'll have some setback to his driving to gain on you all because of the failed
00:44:00
Speaker
Fear check. That feels fair. Okay. Eris, give me a piloting check. What's the difficulty? It is going to be hard. You know, it's kind of late-ish. Everybody's headed home for whatever they were doing, unity dinners, plays, whatever. And it's nighttime, so we're going to take a setback as well.
00:44:27
Speaker
I wish either of you were magical enough. I don't even know if this is a thing you can do in Genesis. It feels like some real D&D high-level shenanigans crap. To make their skiff look like our skiff or when the gold inevitably start chasing us as well. I mean, he's got masks. Oh, that's right. Because you made our skiff look like a dump truck or something once. It feels like the sort of broad shenanigans they don't allow in Genesis is why I said that. Mask, I do.
00:44:53
Speaker
I've got really good verse. Yeah, I've got like four yellow and two green. Four yellow and two green. Or no, one green. Four yellow and one green. Okay. I'm gonna flip a story point. Go ahead and make a purple red. Heels for a screen hop. I got none to heal. I think you're pretty well topped off. You've been really... We've all been fast and loose. Yeah, we've been flying story points back and forth. Okay. It's just what it is. Okay.
00:45:21
Speaker
Well, no, not okay. Oh, no, wait, sorry. I read failure's threat. It is not okay. Yeah, one failure, three advantage. Okay. So, oh, sorry. Rather than them doing driving checks back and forth, it's
00:45:40
Speaker
Well, I didn't I didn't do the actual stat that way never mind moving forward we'll do that differently but Since they have a setback on their driving check I was gonna have you do a boost but the base roll wasn't based off that so anyway three advantage What would you like to do with those they go from long range to medium range so they gain a little bit on you Okay What would you like to three event oh
00:46:07
Speaker
I will pass an upgrade to whichever of us goes next. OK. I'm going to have them do their driving check. Same pool. The key forage book in here, or is it in your office? It's in my office on the bookshelf. Two yellow, one green, three purple, one black.
00:46:36
Speaker
Is that because the driver's scared too? Or not scared? Oh, right. Thank you. Nope. That was from it being nighttime. Thank you. So two block. Oh. That's triumph. Three success, five threat, and a triumph. Go. So they maintain pace with you. They are within medium range of you all. The triumph.
00:47:09
Speaker
Why not? Reynard since you were shooting and Milo you were casting spells back there. You see Okan bring a hand crossbow up and kind of aim and fire.
00:47:25
Speaker
And a bolt with a bit of like metal cable comes flying out and thunks into the back of Tasha. And he like anchors it in his skin. I thought you said in the back of Milo first. Milo's facing his inner skin. So they've tethered themselves to us? Yeah, they have created a tether. And five threat gang, that's a lot. So any ideas? Five threat?
00:47:53
Speaker
That is near despair worthy. Cross traffic. Yeah I was gonna say can that cable like draw another car to run into them? We just introduced the cable. Yeah you can't use it to undo an immediate traffic. That would affect us too with that cable. Yeah that would be great. Yeah that's not good. Can we say something about the condition or state of their skiff? Can we have
00:48:17
Speaker
can we just say we're generally more maneuverable, like just looking at the size or something, or we're generally more, can we use their threat to say X about their? So basically, as the driver's kind of fighting off the one that's freaking out, he loses sight for a second, and they get an offender vendor, essentially. Like somebody crashes into the side of them, and it hinders their maneuverability. So they're going to have an additional setback on their driving checks moving forward. Does that sound to be good to you guys? Yeah, that's kind of low.
00:48:46
Speaker
There's just no way to say it. I would love it if it manifests as we are weaving through places they can't. There's just no way to... I'm not too worried about them catching us. Honestly.
00:48:56
Speaker
I dare assassins, but there's us I mean we are us and it's really good It's only gonna be the one guy by the time they get to us Well, and who is the one guy we need to talk to and Milo's thing is going to wear off, right? It so eventually she will no longer be a feared and she'll be a part of it, too So you communicated them that Okan was the one that took your dagger. Yeah, so Milo
00:49:20
Speaker
you're literally one of the smartest people in Eberron based on your stats. So it would take you literally a millisecond to put together like, so Okan probably has something to do with this. And Okan had the poison on the dagger that would prevent somebody from ever being resurrected or brought back to life if they go down. So Ergo getting into a melee fight with these guys, if they still have access to that poison, would be a very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad idea.
00:49:46
Speaker
Because even if one of you all, if they use that, even if you just hit your wound threshold, you're done, potentially. So you could communicate that to the rest of the group when Reynard seems derisive about the idea of fighting them and face to face. So. Not face to face, I'm terrible at melee. All I have is melee, so I would die. Give me about 20 feet though. All I have is melee and eight wounds to give, so I would die forever.
00:50:11
Speaker
Yeah that's not good. You got 10 soap though. I do 10 soap. So um so yeah you can communicate that immediately or whenever you want Milo. So that's Okon who stole your dagger. Yes. Yes. So obviously he... You haven't told them about the poison yet. Yes obviously he had something
00:50:35
Speaker
to do, if not did, kill Satan. That dagger had some poison on it that you do not come back from. We do not wish to get in a melee with them. So. Okay. So with the verse, do I have, I don't have attacking magic. Yeah. Verse does not have the attack spell.
00:51:02
Speaker
I mean, does it do anything? You can curse them to make things more difficult for them. I was trying to see if there was a way I could send something along that wire that's now attached to us, to their skiff, like electricity or something. What's your... No, it's frost, isn't it? Yeah, that's the dagger. You freeze their boat? Or the stick. The stick has the... The freezing magic.
00:51:29
Speaker
Or, but if I froze the deck or the, the cable and summer into it, it would break, right? Yeah. If you froze it and somebody hit it, it would break. So that's also a thing that could happen. I'd rather, um, send something to their skiff and kill them, but
00:51:46
Speaker
I put a bomb on a zipline. So yeah, verse, you have augment, curse, dispel, heal, or utility, which utility is just kind of a catch all like. So yeah, think about that. Anybody have anything else they want to do in terms of the skill challenge slash getaway?
00:52:09
Speaker
Are we in structured turns? I'm just letting you all go as you desire and then they will go after.
00:52:22
Speaker
The whole barking people out of the way thing is silly. I mean, like we've said before, you can use your underworld to know shortcuts or things like that. I have acted, though. I have piloted. No, that is each round. You have to do that. That's not necessarily heiress's. Oh, OK. I will let heiress take another action. Shoot a piece of awning on top of him or something. OK, I will say this. Heiress can take an action, but you forego your ability to try and like
00:52:50
Speaker
you're distracted from like gaining ground away from them. So anyway, now that we're attached to them, but I would be very happy to, I mean, I still have my, my blast active on the, on the gun. So I want to try and
00:53:09
Speaker
I'm gonna try and blast their guidance system, like their rudder. Okay, sure. So they are medium distance now because they've gained on you, so this would be two purple, trying to think, like you're aiming for a specific part of the ship, but the ship is big, like the rudder would be the size of a humanoid, so it seems like it would just be a regular shot. I will go ahead and flip a story point to make one of those purples red.
00:53:39
Speaker
And I will aim. That is two success, two advantage. So that will be 13 damage, pierce two and a blast five. Okay. So yeah, you blast five on the three of them in the ship, but yeah, you're, you hit their guidance system and they'll just have like a,
00:54:06
Speaker
13 damage. I'm gonna say two upgrades on their driving check. Sure. So Because they're handling this all goofed up so Okay, I do get one attack first
00:54:25
Speaker
for an encounter that is magical. I get a divine thing. I could try to blast him. What did you attack? The ship? I blasted the ship. I broke their steering, basically. Do you have any range? Because I could just toss you in my little hand crossbow. Big strong man. You could maybe yank that thing that's attaching us to them. You can also do predict, which is a divine spell.
00:54:53
Speaker
I mean, you get to ask me any question about something that will happen in the next 24 hours of in-game time. You have no idea how many times I've looked at that spell and been like, I would ask the absolute wrong question. I feel like you have a couple of good questions right now. I know. Yeah, do I just need to try to yank at the...
00:55:12
Speaker
I mean, I've just messed up their ability to flop to chase us right now. Yeah, that's what I need to do. We're hooked on. I was reading Divine Spills while you were doing that, so I was 100% in the game, I apologize. Yes, I think that Hob is going to try to kick out the, not like, not the pointy end. I think he's gonna try to kick to break the point off, like kick along the side of the boat to break the point off so he can shove the,
00:55:40
Speaker
rest of the thing out. So would that just be a brawl, a brawn check? And you're going to give the arrow some stats. I mean, go ahead and do brawl. Okay. Since you are punching it. Yeah, you have attacking it. A percussive attack. Two purple is the difficulty. Okay.
00:56:08
Speaker
It's a very small target, going at a set back because you're trying to hit a very small thing. That makes sense. And go ahead and upgrade one of the Purple's two red. OK. I'm going to aim. I'm assuming this doesn't count as a single opponent, so I don't get a boost from my ring fighter. Fine. This is not an opponent. I would argue this might be the most dangerous opponent we've got. OK. I want to argue that set back. What am I going to do?
00:56:37
Speaker
I think if it's lodged into the wall and I'm scraping my foot down the side of the wall, I'm not gonna miss it, but. So I did, are you? You're in a moving vehicle. I'm standing still. In a moving vehicle? You're in the back of a van that's speeding down the freeway.
00:56:53
Speaker
I've been in that life before, okay, that came up the deck, it's nothing. I mean, I did it, big time. One, two, three, four, five, success, and two advantage. Two advantage, okay. So yeah, you hear it snap and the cable, like, I mean, yeah, you can push it out and the cable starts, flies back and is trailing behind their ship. Two advantage. First. Triumph, you could have knocked the driver out. Yeah, with my two advantage, it wraps around a pole.
00:57:25
Speaker
rip the further ship off where did the anchor it it's gone uh i mean i'm happy to just pass a boost to heiress on her next driving check okay um what if just an idea but if we were able to subdue them capture them kill them just have them and we had enough prisoners use them as evidence to our innocence they have the poison on them dead dragon marks i think we have enough
00:57:54
Speaker
We have enough evidence to our innocence pinned to this crate here, I believe. Very well. Fact out, are you still trying to win over the clan? I am part of the clan, Eris. Until about five minutes ago. They would have killed all of us on Viggo's word and you know that, Milo.
00:58:15
Speaker
I'm not so sure they would have. I vote for killing. They were about to. And Reynard takes aim at, at the driver again. He's just going to shoot me. Golly. So what is it? Two purple. It's next up. So it was about to get dark. Y'all. And can I aim again? Yeah. Yeah. So these go away.
00:58:45
Speaker
And I have one, two, three, four, success, and three advantage. Three advantage? And a triumph. Okay. Four success. And I was still using a fun arrow, if that makes sense. I was still using a fun arrow. Okay. Would you like to use two advantage to activate the fun arrow? Yeah. Okay. Can I tell you what I want it to do? Because I have a triumph too.
00:59:11
Speaker
Yeah, you can keep the advantage and use the triumph to pick what you would like it to do. I want it to swallow him into another realm. Here's what I want. I want, right before the point of impact, the arrow disperses metal wires that wrap around and suck back into the arrow as they impact. So like a metal net or? Like cutting into an iron maiden. Like piano wire. Yeah.
00:59:42
Speaker
You know you could have got area of effect and maybe take it Okay, no, I don't know what these arrows do that's what I'm figuring out as I go along So I want to be like maybe not that one
01:00:01
Speaker
I'm not happy that I can do that. I'm not proud of this. Or doesn't anyone know what their stuff does? Fill a good roll percentile dice for me. Oh no. I don't know how to read it when I roll.
01:00:25
Speaker
I guess zero. Okay. Zero on the one place in this case is a zero. Okay. There we go. 30. It's just 30. Okay. Fitting. Um, gruesome injury. So roll the d10 for me, Philip.
01:00:41
Speaker
Seven. Seven? So yeah, basically, mechanically, you all know that that piano wire horrifying nonsense gave that era vicious 10. So you got 130 on that critical hit roll. Oh.
01:01:02
Speaker
Oh, no. So yeah, wraps around him, and you see his mask kind of concave and tear. And basically, it hit his intellect for the gruesome injury. So he's concussed. His brain is squeezing. He can't think of the immeasurable pain as the wires digging into him all over. And he just lets out a blood-curdling scream that you all can hear, even over the distance and the thrum of the sharn traffic. I'm so satisfied.
01:01:36
Speaker
Just wrapped piano wire around the driver's head and squeezed his skull.
01:01:42
Speaker
How does that one lady that was scared of the chimera feel right now? I mean, not great. Not as bad as he does, but she doesn't feel great. That would turn me around. I'd be like, you know what? We're not ready for these guys. I thought we were. Mechanically, that arrow had vicious 10. So it added 100 to the critical hit roll. Oh my goodness. That rule. So I still have advantage, right? Is that what's happening?
01:02:04
Speaker
You saw three advantage. Eris, you have got to start being nicer to reflect. Can I just use it as like an intimidation thing? Sure. Because my thought is, I see what happens. And although in my head I say, wow, not going to use those again. I would like to lock the same arrow and just threateningly aim at my cousin. Give me two yellows and a green. They're going to make a hard fear check.
01:02:33
Speaker
uh, milos and sorcel thing. Um, automatic upgrade upgrade just because, you know, the piano wire is awful. Um, so we have two yellow, one green, one red, two purple. You all have all the story points. Let's use one. Why not? So give me another red. Oh, that's a triumph.
01:03:02
Speaker
That's not good. But they did fail with one advantage and one triumph. Okay, so the driver immediately veers and goes to turn away. He's freaking out. This is awful. He's in so much pain. Any ideas, gang? I know I'm asking you to act against your own self-interest,
01:03:30
Speaker
That's, um... They decide to give up because they realize we're going to kill them all. Wait, you rolled a triumph? Yeah. They realize we're all gonna die and I want to save their life. So they leave. I mean... That was the failure on the fear check because the driver has now, like, veered off to get away. I mean, the simple thing would be he's gonna have to make a driving check pretty shortly and he can upgrade it.
01:03:51
Speaker
But they're no longer chasing you as well. Oh, the chase is over? Yeah. And I don't know how to spend your triumph. I mean, his triumph should be that he makes it to a medical facility in time. His squoosh! He just squozed his skull. He got squozzled. Another skiff full of Tharonias accents. Right. Verla shows up. I was gonna say the... Thank God! It wouldn't be... not... Let me try that again. Nobody's gonna get mad at us if the gulls show up. That would make some sense there. Let me set it up, finally.
01:04:19
Speaker
Well, Mala heard you Milo and has... Allira is... Grief supersedes reason in her case. And Allira's the one on the council, right? Yes. That's gonna be a bummer. So is Savia, though. Maybe I can...
01:04:41
Speaker
So that just canceled me out. Is that what you're telling me? It didn't cancel you out. You got through the mala. I mean, you said you were targeting two people. In reality, you can really only target one time. Well, I was the one that's going to be the most benefit to us.
01:04:55
Speaker
Well, I mean, that's, one's more powerful within the clan, the other, one's more powerful within the clan and a member of a dragon marked house. The other one is on the Sharn City Council. So it's a very well-connected family. I don't know if you're aware. Okay, so chase is over. Where are we heading? Like I thought about this when I was thinking through this session and I think it is reasonable, no story point, expenditure necessary, that Eris would have,
01:05:25
Speaker
Uh, and this is totally up to you. Eris would have impressed upon the rest of the group enough about the benefit of secrecy of the cauldron from like Eris not wanting the claim to know about the cauldron so that it's off their radar. I'm just saying that that is an option. Right. But Eris does Eris is not taking vehicle to the cauldron, but Eris knows high walls well, and there's definitely an abandoned. Yeah. Eris will.
01:05:58
Speaker
Remind me, Highwell's is not outside of the city. No, it's in the city. It's walled off. It's a literal ghetto. Right. Goodness. Yeah. I feel like we got to get out of the city. Hob doesn't know anybody out of the city though. Yeah. Except for like, you know, his distant past. Professor Stormpool. I mean, how wild would it be to take him to my dad?
01:06:23
Speaker
I mean, wild, but not impossible. Cause what are we going to do now to Satan's dead? I can't really spy on him, but he would probably want to know that. So it could be looking good. Like I'm, you weren't asked to spy on Satan. You were asked to spy on the clan. So here's some information about the clan. Well, Eris is flying towards Highwall. You guys go somewhere else. We will. But Eris, um, flips on her communicator again, uh, and calls Olive again now that we're away and clear.
01:06:53
Speaker
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. I just left Catherine's and I'm going to go have a chat with my brother. He's free. So I'm going to go sit down and catch up with him at his house. Someone's been targeting, someone's been attacking people who worked for lower division. Okay.
01:07:21
Speaker
your brother might stay somewhere else. I'll let him know. Thank you, Aris. Also, you know how Hob was clear that we don't do all the murders that happen? We're currently being chased for one, we didn't. So we're going to be gone for... And Aris will fly to...
01:07:48
Speaker
Eris definitely flies to the warehouse of the King of Sharn. That wasn't in Highwall, but that was in Lower Memphis near. Definitely going to Highwall because no one knows that. Eris makes for an abandoned building that she knows of in Highwall.
01:08:07
