Introduction & Recap
00:00:09
Speaker
D20 radio, your gamers roll.
00:00:45
Speaker
Hello and welcome to everyone. I'm your game master, Eric. And as I mentioned at the end of the last episode, we just recorded kind of a really long session and we didn't do the episode breakups the way we normally do. So this is me saying hello. And in case you missed last episode, go listen to that.
00:01:08
Speaker
But the recap is the players were taken to Irian and met a druid halfling woman and reconnected with their friend Claudio and they were offered healing and food and a chance to rest and recuperate in a manner that would allow them to not skip a bunch of time in Eberron because of the way time dilation works in Irian.
00:01:33
Speaker
And that's where we left everything off. So we're going to pick up there. Enjoy the episode.
Healing with Primal Magic
00:01:38
Speaker
She turns and looks at the rest of you. Do any of you all require anything of me or can we assume that while eating, Hob was also trying to convince her as to get one of her criticals handled by someone here. And he kind of gives her a nudge like.
00:01:51
Speaker
he's not he's not speaking for her because he's done that before earlier in the relationship and we've never talked about it but it didn't go great because whether she likes it or not he sometimes does actually know what's best for her yeah it's so accurate so he gives her a comb yeah probably not just like my grandmother's sweet honey cakes
00:02:12
Speaker
oh well eat up yes i don't he says quietly i don't know if you heard Eris but the kind woman was asking if any other people needed help from her and that's okay i think i have several broken ribs oh
00:02:26
Speaker
and she gets up and crosses to Aerys and with your permission and she holds her hands up and like gestures like she's going to touch Aerys' ribs. Okay, so we're healing the crit specifically, but then... Yes, compromised. I don't know what the A difficulty of compromised is, but that's the one that's particularly troubling.
00:02:44
Speaker
At the moment. Okay, that is two successes, four triumphs, or four advantage and a triumph. Oh, okay. Okay. I guess crit honor. What is the, what's the, what's the effect of agonizing wound? I have it written down, but I don't, didn't write down the effect of it. Agonizing wound is the target increases the difficulty of all brought in agility checks by one. Gosh. So that was even worse. Okay. Compromised, taken care of. Got it. Okay. Thank you.
00:03:14
Speaker
And yeah, you feel it's, it's very different from Reynard's magic. It is, it is primal magic that, so it's rather than feeling like an external force healing your ribs, Eris, it feels like your body's capacity to heal itself is sped
Magic & Time Dilation Discussion
00:03:32
Speaker
up. And so your body like heals itself from the inside is what it feels like.
00:03:38
Speaker
And you also heal one wound and four string. Or two wounds, sorry. I think that's all my wounds. And you have a triumph. Hob is keeping track of how long we've been here as best he can. Ballpark, how long have we... Two and a half hours. Okay. I thought we took a long rest. Well, long rests aren't as like strictly defined in... I was letting you all get the benefits of a long rest with the assumption that
00:04:03
Speaker
You all haven't quote-unquote finished it yet. She showed up once she got olfen settled to check on Milo. Anything in particular you all want to do with the triumph? Heal another one of Eris. Take care of the other crit. Take care of agonizing ones. You keep saying the other crit as if we're now at zero crits. Fair enough. We're now down to two. I had five. Raynard took care of one. Raynard successfully got rid of one.
00:04:27
Speaker
And at which point you had four, so we're all correct. There we go. And she stands up and looks at Hob and Reynard. Are we good? Do you all need anything? Oh yeah, I fit as a fiddle. I think I'm all right, thank you. Something on your mind? Oh, no. All right then, keep your secrets. You know no one in this group is going to press for more, so you say
The Druid's Origin & Power
00:04:48
Speaker
no, it's not going to happen. And it's my secret. It is. Well, she addresses all of you and
00:04:53
Speaker
Claudio will probably be by to check on you all in a little bit. He was very concerned after the ordeal that you all went through together. But if you need anything, do not hesitate to call. And like I said, you can go check on your friend in that building.
00:05:09
Speaker
Sana went with Ulfin, will just hand wave because I haven't narrated Sana doing anything up to this point. Go check on your friends in that building if you so wish, but otherwise, feel free to stay as long as you desire. And when you're ready to return home, just let us know and we will get you back where you were. After a beat of nobody saying anything nods and exits. I think Hob says thank you. There's no, no anything. No, no anything.
00:05:35
Speaker
I mean and something like as she's addressing you that strikes all of you like there is just her demeanor and the way she like handled Eris's critical like this is an extremely powerful person from like a magical standpoint like and it kind of flows off of her oh you know what I'm sorry I've forgotten the dragon work thing I think I think Hobbs gonna maybe potentially disrupt decorum here and say so
00:06:03
Speaker
So you're not from here, are you? Um, I have been here long enough that this is my home. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I understand that. I just, I've noticed any kind of gestures to his shoulder. Oh, yes. You're from where we are from. Yes. How long have you been here? I've never been here time. The best at maths. And at this point, like, Claudio walking up to Claudio, how long have I
00:06:31
Speaker
I've been here and Claudio, thanks for a moment, is like, it is years measured in the nine digits, maybe. Okay, okay, okay. Yes, I've been here a very long time. Got it. All right. 9,000 years. That's not, okay. That would be four digits. Five after the decibel. Nine digits. 9,000.
00:07:00
Speaker
100 million. You look great. Thank you. I'm not gonna, I want to do the math. I'm not gonna do the math. You can do the math. I did the math. You know, yes, I'm, I'm originally where you are from. Yes.
00:07:12
Speaker
I mean, it's less than 200 years. You might want to do the math again. Hang on. You're right. That's minutes. I did minutes. Or I might need to do the math again. Anyway.
Milo's Magic Dilemma
00:07:20
Speaker
We all agree we're not doing math again. Got it. Yeah. All right. Anyway. She. 9,000. No, it's not 9,000. Well, if you all need anything, we will, we'll come, we'll come when called. And you can tell there's a bit of a vibe of she's gesturing to Claudio to like, let you all have some space kind of thing. Like she's guiding Claudio out and you all are left alone once again.
00:07:42
Speaker
Can't quite believe it, but these honey cakes are actually better than my grandmother's. Paposterous. Look, I feel good. How do you all feel? Much better. Health-wise, I feel fine now. Right, you took a lot of info in there, Milo. Yes. It seems like...
00:07:57
Speaker
You, you know, every, I don't know what we call this, third arc, maybe. You catch a lot of info. So how are you holding up? Well, I guess I'm holding up as well as to be expected under the circumstances. It is what it is. I can't change what it is. So I must learn to live with it and deal with it.
00:08:20
Speaker
are we sure you can't change what is well it pretty much sounded like i mean she could have attempted to change it but it sounded like the odds were not good at all and it could make potentially everything worse oh you meant you meant your eye just in general yes
00:08:40
Speaker
I'm at your smoke. I mean, if I stay here, I guess the smoke and the magic would be no problem. Isn't the smoke, at least, isn't the smoke because someone's talking to you across the plains or something?
00:08:56
Speaker
You say, is it the smoke? Isn't that what causes the smoke? Did we learn that? The magic, I believe, is what causes the smoke. But you're connected to the magic because of the line to... It's connected to the magic because of the line that goes into Soryat.
00:09:17
Speaker
Couldn't that stop? Well, based on what? Did we actually get her name? Who? That's Claudio's lady. The halfling that was in here. I don't know that we actually got her name. No, she didn't reveal it to us. No, but she made it sound like that. It's somebody to something. We know that. There are ways to cut the magic.
00:09:40
Speaker
If the magic is because whoever is talking to you from some other place through Zorat, if they just stopped, wouldn't it also stop?
00:09:50
Speaker
Apparently not, because I haven't had much communication from there. But it's still open, right? I mean, the line of communication is still open. Yes, it is. Like, couldn't you tell them, hey, every couple of weeks, this turns my world inside out and gets people killed? Maybe... Well, to be fair, bad people. Stop. Sometimes there was that time that it turned our neighborhood upside down and folded it in half.
00:10:20
Speaker
And almost certainly somebody fell thousands of feet to their death. Wait, was that because of Milo's magic? Well, it was smoking. It was somebody else using the magic of Zoriad. So it it was not Milo's fault in any imaginable way, but it is the same magic. It's what your magic is capable of. And that in the thing that tried to suck your brain out is Luce and Sean. Oh, we've still got to do that.
00:10:46
Speaker
So I think saying that only bad people have died because of this is unlikely. But I understood it was that other person that you guys had to deal with that was wielding the same type of magic.
00:11:02
Speaker
There was also that time where you tried to turn us invisible and instead a thing tried to suck your brain out and then it ran off into the streets of Cheyenne and is still lurking out there somewhere, presumably eating people's brains. That is very true and something else that I've had to... I know you weren't trying to do that. I mean, I know, but it did happen.
Milo's Leadership Prospects
00:11:23
Speaker
Yes, well you know while having that discussion with her a minute ago the thought crossed my mind and just asking if I could just stay here. But if potentially cutting off the magic by asking for the line to be cut to see if that would work I imagine is quite possible to at least find out.
00:11:46
Speaker
But then I don't see really what much use I would be to any of our adventuring from here on out, which frankly is probably really fine with me other than I wouldn't really be able to help you much, except maybe in other ways. I mean, you're smart and clever and sociable. Well, actually, I think
00:12:07
Speaker
You're like the only one of us that can have an actual conversation without offending anyone. How kind of kicks the dirt? Yes, well... Normally it's just you that I'm offending errors. The friendliness perhaps was, you know, is always there, but the intelligence level was not there before the magic. Kylie essentially ran keg bottoms. Milo was the face. The friendly fellow up front.
00:12:36
Speaker
Also, you have claimed a criminal empire if you felt like making it. Yes, I'm not sure how far that would go. Well, I understand I could not inherit anyway. I mean, do you remember when I had lunch with Verla and that tart from the Dark Lantern showed up after we when I gave them Vigo? Yes, that seems to ring a bell.
00:12:58
Speaker
Right, and he was like, you have a blank check to ask for whatever you want. And I was put on the spot and I had to come up with things. Part of that conversation was the Dark Landers don't want the Boarmark clan to fall apart because someone else will like move in and they'll be worse or something like those freaky
00:13:20
Speaker
to ask people with the stone turning and that kind of thing so they're kind of like looking to arrange for somebody reasonable to be in charge so you probably could if you wanted it because like the king's super spies might help
00:13:37
Speaker
Yes, I seem to recall you broaching that topic before. You just said you would be useless without magic. I'm just saying. Yes. You're probably actually the least useless of any of us without.
00:13:51
Speaker
magic often often henchmen act tantamount to magic the things you can get them to accomplish and i often forget i have magic so i'm doing just well without it would you say that you're doing well what have you accomplished lately well sorry i don't think satan i don't think satan had any magical abilities but he was a lot more powerful than the of us very true
00:14:14
Speaker
particularly than you with all of your magical abilities. So, you know, you could do that. Yes, but for me to run the Boromars, that's just not something I had ever. Of course, I never thought about it because it was never an option. But now that it possibly could be an option, it's not something that I think I would want to do. And there's a lady in the Dreadhold who is more than capable to doing this.
00:14:43
Speaker
Just saying
Debating Clan Reformation
00:14:44
Speaker
in one of these things this king's super spies might help us do and the other one the king's super spies would probably actively try to stop us from doing and I agree that I want to say her name in the Dreadhold and I can't think of it Aaron yeah, I agree that Aaron is capable of running the clan, but do you think perhaps? My love that you would do a more not murder each of
00:15:13
Speaker
I think Aaron would do an exceptional job based on what I know of her and about her and her capabilities and her demeanor.
00:15:25
Speaker
I mean, is she going to take the Boromar clan legit? Wasn't that what Sidon wanted to do and that's why Viggo arranged his death? He might not necessarily be an ideal criminal emperor, but
00:15:44
Speaker
you could manage a slightly more legitimate business. A considerably more lucrative business. And also, the smoke wouldn't be pouring out of your head and occasionally be attacked by other worldly beings.
00:15:58
Speaker
You only got one eye left. Hob has genuinely started coming around to what Eris is saying here and thinking, hey, we can get rid of this and you can still have efficacy and power in the world. I think Hob says something like, Milo, I hadn't thought as much as I might should have about this. And obviously I want you to do what you're comfortable doing. But now that we've been talking about it, the idea of you
00:16:21
Speaker
at the helm of the Bournoir operation. Being a distinct possibility fills me with some hope. If that's... It's been a while. This is hope. That's just the plain talking. Yeah, that's just my pepper berry. That's just mushrooms, man. I can't believe Jeff Forsey is about to say this, but perhaps we should let the police help install you as the head of the criminal organization. It's okay, they're not police, they're a national intelligence agency. Even better.
00:16:49
Speaker
Sorry, perhaps we should let the police in ties. The secret police in suits should be. I think honestly there have been many times I have thought about just not using the magic at all and then when we've been into scrapes I've tried to cast simpler spells rather than more seemingly difficult ones and I would definitely love to be rid of it and I just would love to go back to
00:17:18
Speaker
me running keg bottoms and be done with all of this mess that we've been in but if I were to attempt to become the head of the Boromar clan I would it would simply be as a placeholder for Erin until she were hopefully rescued and things set right
00:17:40
Speaker
Or just, you know, freed because we know who actually committed the crime she was imprisoned for. Right, and once you have the power and influence of the Boromar clan, perhaps we can make that public easily. Because we could just, like, we could just reveal that. Maybe.
00:17:58
Speaker
So are you considering just not using magic or cutting your ties completely to
Consequences of Cutting Magic
00:18:04
Speaker
magic? Well, I had often considered just not using the magic at all, but whether I use it or not is irrelevant to this, what did the halfling say, Bela Shira?
00:18:15
Speaker
But as long as the capacity is still there, I wish to be rid of me one way or another. But if there's a way to just cut ties with the magic by, as Eris said, just turning the line off. I mean, I see no. But it's cut the ties. Milo's intellect scores high enough to where I'm going to give clarification on like the exact wording that she said. She didn't say you could be cut off from this. It was an individual could be cut off from magic. OK.
00:18:45
Speaker
Any capacity to interact with magic in the world would be severed, essentially. Like Milo is to infer that he could be healed? Could it be turned back on at some point? I mean, it's not like Milo could go learn how to like cast wizard spells or something. Like Milo would not be able to interact with magic. I mean, original Milo has no capacity for magic at all.
00:19:09
Speaker
Yes and no, because Milo was able to be influenced by the magic of Eberron and like, you know, if, perfect example, if Milo were to fall off the towers of Shar and somebody could hit him with the feather fall spell and he would drift down. Okay, so he couldn't be here magically any longer. Yeah, basically magic would no longer, you would be severed from the magical forces of Eberron.
00:19:32
Speaker
If we were to continue mitigating just a bit, if Milo loses his magic, what exactly does Randy do for the rest of the camera? Because Milo, while a great character, doesn't have a lot of efficacy outside of magic right now. Randy has often thought, like, what would Milo do? You know, Milo's mindset. He doesn't like his magic. He doesn't want to cast his magic. And so, yeah, I've dealt with that a lot on
00:19:59
Speaker
If he didn't have his magic, what would he do? And I thought about the head of the Boromar Clan. We'd try to negotiate for Eren's release with the Dark Lanterns. I mean, I'm not.
Reynard's Confession
00:20:12
Speaker
really in any hurry to stop playing Eris, but wouldn't that check off all the boxes on our to-do list? Yes. Surprise finale. Sorry, you're in Texas. Make it reviewed next week, everyone. No, I mean, I'm definitely not opposed to Milo cutting off the magic, but you're saying like, if he were cut off from magic, like he couldn't be healed by magic. It's like no magic effect.
00:20:35
Speaker
If Kylie hangs up the phone, it will permanently sever Milo. That's a different thing. If you can compel Kylie on her end to sever the tie, I was just saying the offer that the Druid woman, her solution that she said was a person could be cut off from magic to where they wouldn't be. Yeah. Yeah. Eris isn't proposing that you let the Druid woman do anything to you.
00:20:56
Speaker
Right now, Aeris is proposing, like, can Kylie just hang up the phone and see what happens. Yes, that is that is what Aeris is proposing, Kylie, hang up the phone and see if your head stops smoking. Perhaps the druid woman could help us. I'm inclined to do. Yeah, because you don't hear anything in your life because, yeah, the line is not connected right now. On one hand, you just. We have to go back to the broader. You can try to do this. Everything. And you just met your daughter. You can't possibly like her that much.
00:21:36
Speaker
I don't think we can predict what Adele Kira is gonna think. I don't know.
00:21:43
Speaker
It's literally a plane of insanity from what I've heard described. But if his problem is you're messing about in his plane, I would be delighted to suggest a general policy that we all stop messing about in anybody's planes.
00:22:00
Speaker
because it seems like it's been mostly terrible, I admit. This seems like an okay place. I'm very, very nervous about this time thing we're doing. In our defense, I don't feel like we've been messing about in this one, though. We just kind of got here and ate some food. Just brought here. Lounging about a bit, maybe. Well, I guess the only thing left to do is for us to head back to Eberron and see what happens with Kylie.
00:22:30
Speaker
Well, I mean, we have the ship, the four sails to install and that sort of thing. You know, we were in the middle of something. What were you doing in the walk-in? Here we go. Finally! Why do you not want to talk about this? Just having a think. Really? Arrest. No, that doesn't make any sense. It doesn't. No, it doesn't. No, you'd be at the bar if you were having a think. Well...
00:22:56
Speaker
you did you do know me or on the toilet well and you do know me too so yeah i just i the apprehensiveness to speak about it is that reynard thinks he set up a good plan that people aren't going to realize that he did it yeah so he doesn't want to tell people you don't want to implicate them yeah well so i mean you're a better liar than eris is insightful so if you want to and just
00:23:21
Speaker
Alright, so I'm going to try to tell you in a roundabout way. Is it in a played charade? I don't know you to tell me anything any other way. That thing that I needed to do that you all were going to be involved in, in some capacity, has been taken care of. The thing you needed to do was decide what you were going to do, lest I remember.
00:23:46
Speaker
Yeah, we didn't know what you were going to do. So you made up your mind? We were willing to decide. OK, so that's a great use of this time thing. We can make a plan and not waste a bunch of time on it.
00:24:00
Speaker
Right, we can make a plan on how to do it, since you've made up your mind on... Oh, good. We can finally spend the hours planning we like to spend without any consequence. So I decided and took care of it. What'd you decide? Oh, I decided to take care of it. In the most extreme manner? Raynard, I don't know what it would feel like to get punched in this plane, but you're going to find out soon. Alright, could you all keep a secret? Or a less extreme way?
00:24:25
Speaker
we're all criminals i don't know who your friends are my guy you how do you not know who my friends are look at the assemblage of the four of us and you decide who's the least likely to keep the secret you met every single one of my friends there's not very many of them how could you possibly all right don't tell olive i will not promise that oh crap
00:24:48
Speaker
I guess it's okay if she knows too. I got tons of friends. I don't know. I mean, I'm lousy with friends. All right. Bart. Dave. So the dilemma was whether or not we were going to aid me in killing my father and... What? Yeah. Right? That was... Who willing to do that? Yes. Well... Yeah, man. We'll help you. Of course we will. I did it. You asked for help. No, no. I killed him. You killed your father. I think Hob like throws stuff. What? You took off and did this all on your own.
00:25:16
Speaker
No, who was I with? Ferla's brother. Wait, you told us not to tell anyone. Wait. I'm sorry. Ferla has a brother I didn't know either. And he helped you murder that local
Leadership Concerns & Power Vacuum
00:25:29
Speaker
head of a dragon mark. Okay, so it wasn't the initial plan, but it just happened. Do you want the long story or the short story? Either way, it's going to be a lengthy discussion. Why don't you just tell us a complete story, however long it takes. Alright. What's his name, Eldron?
00:25:43
Speaker
Eldrin, yeah. Yeah. Rheoric. So. Baden? I don't know. I don't remember. Raynard would not remember names anyway. So fair enough. So basically, I went with Verla's brother and Eldrin's lover to commandeer an item that was on its way to my father. And in finding that item, we found my father.
00:26:12
Speaker
And I happened to be invisible at the time, so I took full advantage of the moment, and I threw a Thorani dagger into his chest, and then I stepped on it, thus ending his life. And there were no witnesses? Verla's brother and Eldran's lover. Right, those were called accomplices. But I was invisible, so technically they didn't see me do it.
00:26:39
Speaker
I believe that stands up in court. I was invisible. So no one saw me do it. It's got to drive me crazy. I can't remember his name. I don't have the paper. It's on. It's, I think it's state. I'm 90% sure. Yeah.
00:26:53
Speaker
That sounds right, Jeff. Big T, as we called it. We never called it that. Our next adventure. Big th. Wait, no, Rainard, hang on. If I'm hearing you correctly, you developed a plan, the plan fell apart, and your improvisation was to just skip all the planning and do the thing, and it worked. Well, yeah, I mean, it took out a lot of steps.
00:27:14
Speaker
Well, and you thought a head had a Theron-y knife and used that to cover your... Yes. Wow. Friends, we're proud of radar. And I also was invisible. I heard. I heard. Is that what this feeling is? Pride. Drink it up, man. It's the plane. It's the plane. So I also don't know what has happened since. I've had no word. It's been like an hour since. Okay. You did it this morning and then went...
00:27:42
Speaker
to for sales and then all of a sudden it started flying. Awesome. Also, I did it this morning and that's why I was in the freezer.
00:27:49
Speaker
Why the freezer? I see it cool off a little. Flames? Flames on the side of my face. Do you guys want to spend like a hundred million years here just until things blow over? No. All right. No, that sounds awful. I guess I should probably talk to someone. Well, I mean, is Verla's brother going to talk to Verla about this? Well, he's definitely going to talk to her about me.
00:28:14
Speaker
Reynard knew that Verla's brother is a bounty hunter criminal like he's yeah, so you could communicate that if you want one of us Does Reynard communicate that yes, then do so Verla's brother is not very lawful as it were it's a bounty hunter to be like really mad at you when she finds out that you Like worked with him or something
00:28:42
Speaker
Was that one of the things we're hoping she doesn't find out? That's a fun question.
Handling Leadership Transition
00:28:47
Speaker
You know, we'll just have... I've got all my fingers crossed that she doesn't find out, I guess. Don't look at me! You were him! Okay, right. Also, I think Eldren hired that man to make me jealous. I don't think they were actually lovers. What? When I told him I had like a... He was... I found him very attractive. And then all of a sudden he has a lover. His word was complication, but...
00:29:12
Speaker
a situation ship. You just hear across the breeze of the plains of Irian. Irian all. Irian. Irian you hear. It's real. And it's fabulous. Wait, well, did Eris ever actually even meet Eldrin? No, Eris was never even in the bottom mile of Eldrin. Pop was there when I told him he was attractive, I believe. I've blocked most of that night out for your safety.
00:29:36
Speaker
That wasn't there. That was some other guy. Oh, that's right. I gave him a fake name. Glob. Which I feel like we might should use in a code situation. Hump just bit through a chicken bone. You said that. I'd rather not be. Thanks. Okay, so. The ram showed up as well. You missed a lot. We haven't talked to you at all, Eris.
00:29:54
Speaker
No, he she would have heard about the rampart, right? Yeah. Told her. Yeah. Oh, the ram is. OK, so the ram is still there. So we've still got to deal with that, too. And the mind flayer. I mean, right. But do we? Milo. Do we have to? Eris has no intention of dealing with that. She just likes to have it in her back pocket to throw Milo inappropriate.
00:30:11
Speaker
I'm saying it's a problem caused by the magic. I'm not saying we have to fix it. That's the sort of problem you could let go. Somebody will eventually kill him. There's gotta be some dark elf around with a vendetta against mind flayers looking to murder him. Okay, not gonna. My player's probably already dead.
00:30:31
Speaker
GM Fiat. Absolutely not. There's no such being in charge. I'm not saying there's nothing we need to do. I understand there's still things we need to do. I'm saying I feel like our biggest problem has a solution. Okay. If Milo is open to that.
00:30:48
Speaker
And, you know, you could do these things in whatever order, like the getting who's the person who talks to you. What's the name? Kylie Kylie getting Kylie to stop and turn off. I thought he was asking about the scary guy. Turn off whatever she's using to talk to you. I didn't have to be first. Yes. My thought is to go back and talk to Aaron's husband, who's named Tarvel to go back and wait. Why?
00:31:17
Speaker
Well, because Tarvel is on our side, my side for sure, and my intention would be that if I were to attempt to take control of the Boromar Clan, that it would be as a placeholder.
00:31:35
Speaker
I want Tarvel to be aware of that and to know what I intend to do and so maybe we could you know he's supposed to be getting back to us with some way to get in to the Dreadhold so maybe we could expedite it some way my thought would be for her to sit out first and for her to take over. I have absolutely no memory of Tarvel
00:32:00
Speaker
Tarveling away in. I thought that was on us. No, Tarvel and Aaron were working on it with her being on the inside. And that was kind of one of the outstanding conversations that you all are waiting on to happen.
00:32:09
Speaker
Yes. That happened almost like a year ago in our time, but it's been like a week and a half in Eberonian time. Okay. So here's a year and a half and I actually did that. Wow. Here is my objection to that and it can be ignored and we can move on, I guess. But I know what you're like. I know what Tarvel says she's like. And I know what she's like.
00:32:33
Speaker
You know what she was like. Point taken. I wasn't always this way. Stuff messes people up. That makes me sad. Yes. Look at me. What if she takes control of the Bormar clan and immediately sets out to take vengeance on everybody who wronged her and put her in that position?
00:32:53
Speaker
Well, she put herself in that position by admitting to murders that Viggo committed. Sure, but surely it was several other people's fault somewhere along the way. Also, are she going to feel about us murdering the person who she was willing to go to jail for? No, I didn't murder Viggo. He's currently in prison.
00:33:14
Speaker
you wouldn't let me right right turning over to the cops undoing what she was trying to prevent and i mean let's be honest if he doesn't stay in prison we're going to let me so it'd be good to know how she would feel about it i assume by now she probably knows and tarvel i'm sure will if we get her out by clearing her name
00:33:36
Speaker
instead of by assaulting the most difficult prison to enter unwillingly in the world. If we get her out by clearing her name, won't they stick Viggo in there? And is she gonna be alright with that? It's also one of the most difficult prisons to enter unwillingly also. It's a very long waitlist. Let me- here is the- here are- if you would like my help-
00:33:53
Speaker
The plan needs to sound something more like we work towards installing you as the leader of the Boromars with a later option of potentially exploring installing Eren instead because once you are, you can abdicate to whomever you would like. But maybe we meet Eren where she's at before we start promising things about her future.
00:34:16
Speaker
I just want to be clear I'm very in favor of getting someone out of prison who's not supposed to be there. Absolutely.
Conclusion & Credits
00:34:22
Speaker
I'm just just saying sight unseen agreeing to her as head of the Boromar clan. I mean I found Satan mildly threatening most of the time when he talked to us.
00:34:32
Speaker
Yes, well, you see, I come from the standpoint of being in the clan and following clan rules, clan hierarchy, and as such, it's difficult for me to see anyone other than Eren in that position. What's the pecking order if you, if you as Sidon's son aren't next in line after Sidon?
00:34:56
Speaker
Well, because GM once told me that Milo would not ever be allowed to do so. Because you were a secret. Milo, you all are also assuming people will believe Milo. Exactly. There is a short list of people that know the truth.
00:35:12
Speaker
Milo, I don't understand. Are you insinuating there's precedent for this secret sun in a power vacuum? You're talking about clan rules like this is Godified. I don't know. I don't want to speak for Eric, but no, it's not. I promise. Also, are you just trying to tell us you don't want to do this? That's fair. Because you can also just tell us you don't want to do this.
00:35:32
Speaker
Well, it's something I just would need a little more time to think about. I'm not going to just outright say, no, I don't want to. And I mean, actually, no, I don't want to, but for the good of everything else, possibly I might make that choice. I would just need just perhaps a little more time to think on that. Like another year and a half or so.
00:35:58
Speaker
So you're going to stay here while we go back and then we'll see you in like a week. 12 seconds a day. So no, just give me a little time to consider and to also consider the order in which I may like to do things.
00:36:16
Speaker
okay what we do in the meantime go put the ship where it needs to go right yeah i guess we do have some slightly more terrestrial problems we can deal with as you're talking and looking at each other in a flash that goes unseen by you all directly but when you glance back looking at
00:36:35
Speaker
The table, the spread on the table has shifted from like light snack-like type of fare to now there's like a full dinner spread laid out on it. Eat up. You know what Hobb does? Is it still various dishes torn from the recesses of our memories?
00:36:55
Speaker
It would be things that would elicit positive emotions within you, yes. So there's just like a pile of chickens and cheesy potatoes? Yep. Or cheesy rice, sorry, cheesy rice. Also wine and ale and stuff like that. A lot of, yeah.
00:37:11
Speaker
So how about we eat and then take our leave from this most hospitable place. Are these orphan okay? Yeah, so we actually should go check on. Might be a good idea. End of episode.
