Introduction to Fellowship of the Tabletop
00:00:00
Speaker
And there's probably a question coming about where can you get some dragon teeth. a
00:00:32
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum
Setting the Scene: Aerith and Dralak
00:00:37
Speaker
Draconis. We are all a live play 5e 2024 D&D podcast set in the magical homebrew board of Aerith in the kingdom of Dralak.
00:00:45
Speaker
Joining you for this week's episode, we have Ian who plays the Tiefling Warsor and Nyx Carell. I think we fucked that up the last episode, i think. Yeah, I forgot. With the five a It just falls off the tongue, doesn't it? It's still 5e, it's still 5e.
00:00:58
Speaker
Is it still 5e? What? Yeah, it's still 5e. Well, they've dropped the 1D&D, haven't they? It's still 5e. Is it still called 5e? Yeah. But I thought it was D&D 2024.
00:01:09
Speaker
Still 5th edition. the The vernacular in amongst the community, people talk about
Character Introductions and Humor
00:01:15
Speaker
it as D&D 2024, but it's still considered 5th edition. it's just like ah It's like 0.5. They want to call it 5.5 because then people think, oh it's just like 3.5. But yeah.
00:01:25
Speaker
Poobah, who plays the human cleric Emron. Rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls. We've got the edgelord Callum, who plays the Warforged Star Tificer Alpha. I'm a pile of junk on the floor.
00:01:36
Speaker
And he's also of a character. And we've got... Why is Callum's junk on the floor? Well, because he is so hung. I've lost this. Why do your balls look like Jabba the Hutt?
00:01:53
Speaker
LAUGHTER um We've also got Darren who plays the high elf, Artificer, Rain's head out. Lady in white shoots lightning at me.
00:02:04
Speaker
I love how you always have a good song planned, Darren. I fucking love it. My name is Mark and I'm playing the Human Blade singer, Seth, Farrow, Reaver. And by last, but by no means least, is our, as I flick to the back of, flick my bean, the man boy monk who brings hard the funk. I've read two of them there wrong. Our stranger danger ranger and the boss man bard who gets us all hard. It's Dungeon Master Danny.
00:02:28
Speaker
Bonjour. ah We are bereft of our other Will who plays the um sexual Dragonborn Druidbar Valkon. He is currently ah he's undertaking some kind of equine horse grooming class.
00:02:42
Speaker
and It's run over slightly, ironically, but he hasn't been run over. um He is mid-main and um is... ah Normally then, if Will would say he'd make a joke about a horse cock, I think, wouldn't he? That's just kind of the truth we go down, but he's not. So no horse dick joke for you. So he's unfortunately not able to um to fill in our long-toed companion. But speaking of long toes, we have a long time-serving responder of previous episode dodic information. You can get there. Epic voiceover guy.
00:03:22
Speaker
Previously on The Fellowship of the Tabletop, our epic heroes got off their
Exploration and Odd Dreams in the City
00:03:28
Speaker
boat. I'm on a boat. I'm on a boat. And they went to the shore. Oh, why did that get me so much? I think it's a dance.
00:03:37
Speaker
I think it's a shame sometimes that we're not visual podcast because he would it was a Numa Numa dance. That's what we were doing. Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time.
00:03:50
Speaker
And he went for it as well. This wasn't just like a half-assed dance. You were grooving, man. Loved it as you were. When you're all quite finished commenting on my commentary.
00:04:01
Speaker
So our heroes were off the boat. But in the night before, Emron had had his dream again. he had dreamed he was up in the sky and once more got blown off like the bitch he is, only to be saved by Baal.
00:04:13
Speaker
He then climbed up. and through the drains, because he's, you know, in the sewers, bit weird in the sky, saw these strange buildings attacked by these ball-like creatures that were attacking the city, and then he awoke.
00:04:27
Speaker
As well that night, someone else had a had a sleep, a sleep he hadn't had for a while. Our little baby Nix got all tired a little tiefling, and he cuddled up and got himself a nice good night's rest.
00:04:41
Speaker
No, he didn't. It wasn't a good night's rest. Our party arrived on the docks only to realize that a lot of them are quite exhausted. The party decide what to do next. The city seems to have a different energy to itself, but still more recovered than they would expect.
00:04:59
Speaker
Buildings have been repaired and the city appears to be slipping into a pseudo normal day's work. with a bit of an air of mystery around it. A party decides to split, because why not?
00:05:12
Speaker
Nyx, Seth, and Alpha decide to go to the magical quarter of the city, while Emron and Nyx go to the Iron District. Because Nyx can be in two places at once.
00:05:25
Speaker
Fuck you.
00:05:30
Speaker
Epic voiceover guy disregards Nyx from now on. Emron and Nyx, because Nyx had a split personality, he didn't care where he was. They went to the Iron District, and everything seemed strange.
00:05:42
Speaker
The forges were empty. The clouds of Keltrad were gone. And the place was eerily quiet, apart from the sound of fixing of the city around them. There were no hammers, no bellowing bellows, just silence.
00:05:57
Speaker
And Nyx said, this is a bit
Encounter with Ogrimoth and Magical Events
00:06:00
Speaker
strange. And Emron went, yup. And then they kept having a chat about things. They looked at the bodies of the mechanical objects.
00:06:08
Speaker
They did magic. They did spells and discovered nothing. ah So the party decided to rejoin our other epic heroes across the city. Alpha, Seth, and Reigns, because I'd forgotten him earlier, went to see Ogramorff.
00:06:24
Speaker
They went into this into the square. They saw a sheep. They saw lots of other figures. And someone on went, hey, Ogramor, just for shits and giggles. At which point, lots of creatures started saying, inside, now, in lots of voices.
00:06:39
Speaker
They went inside. Again. The strange building, the strange rooms, chicken feed on the floor, and finally Ogrimoth seemed to talk to them in a more helpful manner.
00:06:53
Speaker
Ogrimoth, who'd said that he could only help them in a week, ah appears to have sorted himself out a lot sooner. As the party assembles, there's a talk about consent. Reigns gives consent for Alpha, but Alpha's a person, so who cares?
00:07:07
Speaker
He gets to do things. The rest of the party arrive. For some reason, Seth went to go get paper and then help people, because he's a man of the people. And he's also a hero and famous, but he brushes that off. He's like, yeah, I'm famous. I came second. Who cares?
00:07:22
Speaker
And so our party was within Ogramor's workshop. And Ogrimoth revealed that he had turned two things. First of all, Magnus had been created by Ogrimoth and Marota had been sent to find Alpha.
00:07:42
Speaker
Till next time, guys. oh shit. Go fuck yourself. Know your place.
00:07:51
Speaker
So our party assembled, the memory room to be explored. The shell it' still going or of Magnus was revealed. spell was created. The players then frantically tried to remember the fucking words that Marota gave them.
00:08:06
Speaker
And then Nyx pulled one out the bag and shouted, Bellum DeCarnis! And that triggered the spell. A ghostly white elven figure appeared saying, I am taller.
00:08:17
Speaker
And then lightning appeared.
00:08:22
Speaker
Is over?
Ghostly Attack and Spirit Communication
00:08:23
Speaker
Yeah. I thought he was narrating. i didn't think that was a recap. That was cover. That was awesome. That was a one-on-one account. What fucking summary was that, man? do you understand the word? Holy shit. I didn't write much. I was just giving a rough summary. Take inspiration. take Yeah, there we go. Protect yourself from the naysayers, including me, who were in the chat was dissing you. So...
00:08:48
Speaker
so
00:08:50
Speaker
You're in this small, compact room.
00:08:56
Speaker
There is a reversed metallic charge. Your your ears are sort of ringing in static. And this female elven figure, not fully formed, more sort of ethereal and translucent,
00:09:11
Speaker
emerges like she has been sprinting ah for for some while, completely out of breath, completely out of strength, and what she has left just launches a volley of lightning bolts specifically at Reigns' direction.
00:09:25
Speaker
Just bolt after bolt screaming, no, no, no, and just unleashes a fury before falling on the floor and whimpers in the corner and recoils from Reigns specifically.
00:09:35
Speaker
Is there anything any of you want to do? so what What the hell is going on? Who is this? And what the hell does she have against? What's happening here? She covers her hands with her ears and begins to scream.
00:09:51
Speaker
What kind of scream? Is it like a big high-pitched scream? Like a big high-pitched Not like a banshee wail or anything like that. But just like she's screaming like she is that incredibly distressed.
00:10:02
Speaker
Is she physically present or is she like trans... if she she Like I said, she is translucent still. She is not not yeah corporeal. She is ethereal.
00:10:13
Speaker
Emerald towards it. Sorry. But she can see rain. That much is clear. yeah you you She still marked all of you when she came into the room. You could tell she was running, just sort of stopped, tried to figure out where she is, then saw you and is just targeting wave after wave of electricity at you.
00:10:30
Speaker
Whoa. this is not This is crazy. But it's not impacting him. No, there is there is no um contact with... Once it onces it hit Reigns, it sort of just goes through Reigns towards the wall, but Reigns, you feel nothing.
00:10:45
Speaker
the like you You recoil the first couple of times. The first one, you were really panicked, but but afterwards, this is just going straight through you, and it then it hits the wall behind you, but it's not leaving a scorch mark or anything like that. ah Seth's going to summon Shadowblade.
00:10:59
Speaker
okay I stand in front or next to Reigns and make intimations to start running towards her and slice a bitch. After about half a dozen of these bolts, she just runs a little bit. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:11:14
Speaker
So Reigns is, your blade is out and above her really because there wasn't much space to meant to make up anyway.
00:11:25
Speaker
It's all right.
00:11:28
Speaker
I don't know who you are, but can you hear me? And she just again unleashes another volley going straight through Seth, but but really fixating on you, Reigns, and looks terrified of you.
00:11:39
Speaker
<unk> It's all okay. It's okay. He's not going hurt you. She lunges over to your direction, just like, because you're in a separate space in the room. He looks back at Reigns, incredibly panicked.
00:11:52
Speaker
He looks at all of you, and is feeling, like, threatened. He won't hurt you. You're safe. Make a persuasion check. Okay. As safe as a ghost can be.
00:12:07
Speaker
ah dirty 20. Ew, rather. I'm not a ghost.
00:12:15
Speaker
She's panting heavily. Apologies. Memory. And her hair at this point is sort of um absorbing a lot of the sweat that comes from quite panicked. Her her but breath makes her quite stumbly and and um she loses the ability to concentrate after a few seconds. It's really struggling to keep her focused.
00:12:34
Speaker
If she's quite close to me, can I can i feel her breath? Or is it la it like she's... You feel no breath. You feel no heat. There's nothing rising off her.
00:12:43
Speaker
Who are you? What's your name?
00:12:51
Speaker
I don't know who you are. Where am I? My name's Emron. I'm a servant of Aledo. Who?
00:13:00
Speaker
Aledo. He's one of the gods. No, he isn't.
00:13:06
Speaker
What are you saying? well Who are you? As say, my name's Emron.
00:13:12
Speaker
We're trying to discover who you are. And how you're connected to our friend. I've never seen any of you before in my life. Except him. And then she just tries to do another bolt of electricity. But who and nothing comes to her that time.
00:13:30
Speaker
You're right, Reigns. In recoiling, you know what's coming. who do you Who is it you think I am? yeah I know who you are. Hurry on. Who? Urian Cardinal.
00:13:45
Speaker
You will not deceive me. Who is Urian? That's... That's my... That's my grandfather. What year do you think this is?
00:13:59
Speaker
This is not a test. Lies! ah Just look around and look at the clothing that we're wearing and and and look deeper and closer at the person that you're trying to shoot lightning at.
00:14:11
Speaker
Just take a breath and take a moment. Let your mind catch up. You've clearly been through ah spell and just take a moment because we haven't raised arms and there's no spells being thrown at you. And just answer one simple question because we can then answer the same thing.
00:14:29
Speaker
ah What year do you think it is? Make a persuasion check.
00:14:37
Speaker
oh heing i' Seth would have unsummoned his Shadowblame, would grab sheet of paper from the stack, and is going to scribble ah ah kind of a message to the person as well.
00:14:49
Speaker
So after um after Nix has got his response, he'll hold up this piece of paper. It's just going to say, and where are we? To her.
00:15:00
Speaker
Incomit. Sorry. Sorry, Nix, you go. 22. twenty two
00:15:06
Speaker
Not really focusing on you, Nyx, because you haven't said much. And at that point, she hears you, then sees you, then is quite shocked to see you, and then says, back, devil!
00:15:18
Speaker
Get away! And tries to summon another spell, but she has nothing left in her. But she she looks just as panicked now, looking at you. It's okay. It's okay. You're safe.
00:15:31
Speaker
Seth's going to wave and then hold up the sign again bit closer. The lighting's not great in here. She squints, but she's a bit three threatened now by Nix, who's much closer and not of a form she really trusts.
00:15:47
Speaker
He's going to scrumple up the bit of paper and throw it her. Goes straight through. Goes straight through her and hits the wall. Does she seem to clock that or not? Yeah. She looks behind her for a second and then looks back at you.
00:16:01
Speaker
Largely, she's only really feeling any sort of reception towards Emron. It's okay. And Seth until he threw something at her. You're safe. Look, look.
00:16:12
Speaker
They are no danger to you. I'll look after you. It's okay.
00:16:18
Speaker
They won't hurt you. He...
00:16:23
Speaker
He will. He's trying to kill me. And just points at Reigns. Uryon, he's trying to kill you? Yes. Why?
00:16:35
Speaker
Why? Well, you tell me and this looks at you, Reigns. Why have you done this? Why have you destroyed us all?
00:16:48
Speaker
Reigns will look at her and take her in and will just go...
Accusations and Tensions with Princess Imolde
00:16:56
Speaker
The devil asked you a question. Please answer it. What year You are in league with the devils. I'll play no part in this. X and A on the devil. Wait, wait. And she just screams at the top of her voice, let me go, and looks with absolute urgency at you, Emron.
00:17:20
Speaker
Shall we get out of here? Listen to me. We're trying to help you. Eurion, Eurion, he can't hurt you right now. But I need you to tell me who you are. What has he done to you?
00:17:33
Speaker
What does he believe? What do you believe he's done?
00:17:37
Speaker
I'm from Shadowment and I don't know. What's Shadowment? It's a country. A place. What country?
00:17:50
Speaker
Where am I? You're in a city called...
00:17:55
Speaker
You're in a city in Dralak. The jungles, do you know of that? There are many jungles.
00:18:05
Speaker
but You seem to be disconnected from the things that we know what you know. All I can say is right now you are safe. I don't believe you. There are devils. There is the man trying to kill me.
00:18:21
Speaker
um'm I'm just going to help this situation by removing myself from it. I'll bid you good day Believe what he's saying, as Nyx points to Emron.
00:18:35
Speaker
ah You're in safe hands. And then Nix is just going to just not ever facing away from her, but just backing up towards the door. And he put a hand behind his back, open the door. And then still, as he's facing her, just head you out of the door and then close it. As you break your distance from her, she does slightly seem a a bit more settled. Yeah.
00:18:58
Speaker
ah Seth will kind of just look for a second watch Nix do that shrug his shoulders and then he'll he'll just walk out the door as well he's not getting anywhere with this so he's going to walk out and find Nix okay Reigns is still holding on to this football that's emanating like this football like substance that's emanating something isn't it yeah everything is being channeled through that like all of the colours of her are mirrored in the colours of this stone then Reigns isn't going anywhere
00:19:31
Speaker
She looks a bit so more comfortable now that Nyx left. I promise you, I'll do everything I can to help you right now.
00:19:42
Speaker
What's your name?
00:19:45
Speaker
Make a persuasion check.
00:19:50
Speaker
With advantage, because Nyx has left the room. okay and You're welcome. A crit at 24. A crit. With a of 24. A crit. and ah with a total of twenty four ah cri
00:20:04
Speaker
She takes a second and regains her breath. It takes more than a second, takes about 30 seconds, and there is a palpable silence in this time. In a couple of moments, she's looking at this mound of metal on the floor.
00:20:18
Speaker
Meanwhile, Ogramor is completely detached from this conversation. It's just stood to her side, observing, and looking very non-threatening. She doesn't spend much time looking at him, but looks at this pile of metal on the floor that sort of looks like a human.
00:20:33
Speaker
Stands for a second and you're now eye to eye with her, Emron.
00:20:39
Speaker
My name.
00:20:44
Speaker
It's Princess Imolde Gartran. Heir to the throne of Erith.
00:20:54
Speaker
The last of my people. Heir to the throne of Erith. Yes, the kingdom of Eris. One kingdom.
00:21:08
Speaker
Wow.
00:21:11
Speaker
This man, she points at you, Reigns, has deceived us, is in league with the devils, and has killed my entire family, my entire people.
00:21:28
Speaker
He must be stopped.
00:21:31
Speaker
Okay, okay. Yes, the the... It's his family. I've done some very bad things, I won't deny.
00:21:43
Speaker
You're right.
00:21:46
Speaker
But why has he killed you all? Is it to take over? Is it to seize the throne of Aerith? You need to ask him. I'm the last of my people and it's because of you.
00:21:58
Speaker
and again, she gets really angry and tries to conjure magic but has nothing, no strength left to give. Where were you when you were running, before you were here?
00:22:08
Speaker
At home. And where was home? What it called?
00:22:15
Speaker
Moonrise.
00:22:18
Speaker
I've heard of that place.
00:22:23
Speaker
We're not far from there, really.
00:22:31
Speaker
i don't understand.
00:22:35
Speaker
Who are you? My name is Emerald. I'm going to be honest with you. We're talking to you. Are you familiar with memory runes?
00:22:47
Speaker
No.
Memory Runes and Aerith's History
00:22:51
Speaker
We're talking to you because we found a... something that contains the memories of you.
00:23:02
Speaker
You are preserved as a memory.
00:23:06
Speaker
So he does succeed. He kills all of us then, looking at Reigns. He does, it would appear.
00:23:19
Speaker
Then Aerith is doomed. It is in the hand of the great deceiver. But we can try and stop it. Whatever he's done, we can try and undo it. It's never too late to try.
00:23:31
Speaker
Of course it's too late. I'm the last of my people. Without me, our great nation of Erith falls into ruin. And shit shatters into several kingdoms.
00:23:44
Speaker
Unlikely. Likely that the entire realm withers and dies. We are the great Gartrans. No one will come after us.
00:24:02
Speaker
You see, the way the memory room is working is it's giving life to, and then one points to the the pile of of of alpha on the floor.
00:24:16
Speaker
We built this. Nakavolo? does that Does that name mean anything to you? Sounds like gibberish. It's a bunch of metal scraps.
00:24:28
Speaker
It's a metal creature, a metal person. It sort of looks like a person. Powered by you. Powered by your memories.
00:24:41
Speaker
I didn't consent to this. ah ah don't know how memory ruins are made. It's not. That's beyond me. If I am dead, then let me lie.
00:24:53
Speaker
Please let me interject and just ask one thing.
00:24:58
Speaker
You are forbidden from speaking, great deceiver. You have doomed us all. Just hear me, please, and Reigns will hold up one of the Rubik's keys and it will have the projection of his own of his grandfather on it and goes, this is Euron Cardinal, this is the man you speak of.
00:25:18
Speaker
My friend tells it true. I am his descendant, but I am not him. And believe me when I say this, he's tried to have me killed in the same way that he had you killed. Me and him, we're not allies.
00:25:31
Speaker
I know you don't want to believe me and you probably feel like you can't believe me, but please just help me piece this together. ah beg of you.
00:25:44
Speaker
Have you ever heard of the great mountain kingdom of Dashkow Rai?
00:25:50
Speaker
I will do no favor as to respond to anything you say. Whether you are him or spawn of him, you destroyed our people.
00:26:07
Speaker
And you have the audacity to bring me back a frozen memory.
00:26:30
Speaker
I don't know what I can do, but if it's in my power to even partially make this right,
00:26:42
Speaker
fuck it. I don't know what to say. I'm right. I'm sorry. You take over. Aerith is beset.
00:26:55
Speaker
Aerith is split into many kingdoms, different nations.
00:27:02
Speaker
And a new 13th kingdom has seemingly appeared or been made whatever.
00:27:10
Speaker
There are prophecies.
00:27:13
Speaker
Dragons. Dragons?
00:27:17
Speaker
Dragons are our servants.
00:27:21
Speaker
The dragons seem to, in your absence, they seem to split themselves among the kingdoms as their Guardians and maybe rulers at one time.
00:27:37
Speaker
I do not believe this.
00:27:42
Speaker
When the throne and the house of Gartron falls, Aerith will not exist.
00:27:53
Speaker
There is no way life persists after me, the last of our line.
00:27:59
Speaker
What makes you say that? Is there some magic?
00:28:04
Speaker
We are all powerful.
00:28:08
Speaker
We saved Aerith from demons. This is our land. The demons would surely claim it back without us. Were they metal demons or devils like you saw it just now?
00:28:24
Speaker
Like that one kindly left the room.
00:28:29
Speaker
I suppose the name Prego doesn't mean anything to you.
00:28:35
Speaker
What is that? A demon. That has been walking around here lately. Only one demon's name I know.
00:28:49
Speaker
What's that? The one he, Uriam, is in league with.
00:28:59
Speaker
Tolkien.
00:29:05
Speaker
He doesn't happen to have golden-faced servants, does he? Like cherub-faced masks.
00:29:16
Speaker
He does.
00:29:19
Speaker
We've encountered demons like that.
00:29:24
Speaker
And Orion succeeds. Not yet he hasn't. There are people still fighting him. Still fighting whatever he's done. He's not won yet.
00:29:36
Speaker
Without the Gartrans you have no hope. If we could bring the Gartrans back would there be hope?
00:29:46
Speaker
If I am just a memory our people We brought the Gartrans back. Reigns will shout. We brought them back as an idea flashed across his face.
00:29:58
Speaker
This is the final thing I say, I swear.
Resurrection Magic Consideration
00:30:02
Speaker
But those demons, those gold-faced demons, they tried to take Alpha, which means they tried to take you, which means they're afraid of you. And me and Emron tried so many times with so many memory rooms to bring him to life, and it never worked until you.
00:30:17
Speaker
It's just hit me after all this time. We didn't pick you for Alpha. You picked him.
00:30:29
Speaker
i would Speak the truth. I was and am dead.
00:30:36
Speaker
But there are spells that can bring people back.
00:30:40
Speaker
It can be done.
00:30:44
Speaker
Tricks. Deceit. No.
00:30:51
Speaker
I do not lie.
00:30:55
Speaker
Resurrection can be done. I've heard of it.
00:31:02
Speaker
Impossible.
00:31:08
Speaker
I wouldn't trust any words from your mouth, deceiver.
00:31:15
Speaker
But if it could be done, if I... And Emron looks at her. If I was to find someone who would bring you back... I am a memory. But would you be willing, if we could bring you back, to try and help stop the deceiver...
00:31:34
Speaker
Would you do it?
00:31:38
Speaker
I am the last of the Gartan people. How would you even find me? When are you? My body may not even exist. It doesn't have to exist.
00:31:52
Speaker
There are powerful magics out there that can bring you back.
00:32:00
Speaker
It has to be possible.
00:32:08
Speaker
I don't know.
00:32:14
Speaker
If it will help Aerith,
00:32:18
Speaker
I swear to you, I will try. Then you will serve as a knight of my kingdom as I reclaim my throne.
00:32:29
Speaker
And Aerith is mine once more.
00:32:36
Speaker
And she looks at you with a bit more of assurance.
00:32:43
Speaker
To save its people so that they can be free from whatever oppression is affecting them.
00:32:51
Speaker
They will do my bidding. I am their queen, or I will be.
00:33:01
Speaker
We'll do what we can to help you.
00:33:11
Speaker
I don't understand who you are. I don't understand when you are or what you are. Does the name Alido mean anything to you? Yes, he's some servant in our military. I think he was a hero of a recent battle.
00:33:30
Speaker
He becomes a god? Absolutely not. Sol and Selen would not make space for another god. There are two gods only.
Kingdom's Prophecy and Dragon Discussions
00:33:41
Speaker
There are three now. Well, four, technically. Probably more than that. This is sacrilege. Surely. Elido. Tyrionni.
00:33:53
Speaker
Fettinus.
00:33:57
Speaker
These aren't words I recognize. this point, Ogramov just says,
00:34:12
Speaker
I can't hold this for much longer. Otherwise we'll lose Alpha. Okay. Could this be done again if we had to? Yes.
00:34:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:34:26
Speaker
But it would require more power than I have here. ah understand that.
00:34:33
Speaker
She just says, Wait.
00:34:38
Speaker
What of my protector?
00:34:42
Speaker
The one person I sent to destroy Uriel. Who was he?
00:34:49
Speaker
Or they, what was their name? Leopold.
00:34:55
Speaker
Leopold Sleetgaard.
00:35:04
Speaker
Last I heard, he had destroyed...
00:35:10
Speaker
Uriel and his house.
00:35:16
Speaker
Obviously not, as his grandson stands before me.
00:35:22
Speaker
Yeah. A lot has happened in the intervening years, it seems, that people have forgotten or choose to forget.
00:35:35
Speaker
Sleetgard is a kingdom now. Ludicrous. There is one kingdom. ruled by, ah one time, Leopold.
00:35:48
Speaker
How does he survive? He is human.
00:35:55
Speaker
Humans are quite persistent and determined.
00:36:01
Speaker
She looks at Reigns for a second.
00:36:10
Speaker
He is human.
00:36:13
Speaker
There are centuries apart from him
00:36:20
Speaker
pointing at Reigns and his supposed grandfather.
00:36:28
Speaker
Maybe it's someone else who's taken Leopold's name then.
00:36:36
Speaker
The Leopold we speak of could be someone different.
00:36:41
Speaker
But he bears the name Leopold and was his king of a kingdom of called Sleetgard. There's one kingdom, Aerith.
00:36:53
Speaker
It's ruled by the Gartrans. I'll hear no sacrilege.
00:37:00
Speaker
oh Things have changed, I'm afraid.
00:37:10
Speaker
This creature... She points to the floor. i live in that now. You... Yes.
00:37:20
Speaker
Whatever reason, your memory room seems to make him work. Without him, it is just metal and leather and engravings and everything else that makes up his body.
00:37:34
Speaker
I don't understand. Why didn't I just die? ah don't Why couldn't death just end this? Your memory.
00:37:47
Speaker
You did die. Your memory was pulled into this memory ruin at the mountains.
00:37:56
Speaker
Ogramorff is struggling at this point. Font memory of Dash Calride, you should know that memories can only enter the ruins. They can only enter the ruins willingly. They can't enter it under force.
00:38:08
Speaker
I did not consent to any of this.
00:38:15
Speaker
and run I think this is getting a bit dangerous for Alpha. I think we need to let her go. We need to let you go.
00:38:25
Speaker
i don't understand. Am I going back to death? Back into the memory room. I don't know what that means. Neither do we.
00:38:38
Speaker
Reigns is just holding out on um an arm took in the direction of Ogrimorf as if to say, kill it. As if he's just waving an arm just to say, that's enough.
00:38:48
Speaker
Wait, I must. And then at that point, before she speaks any longer, Ogrimorf severs his incantation. And the light in the piece of obsidian you're holding just sort of holds a static glow now.
00:39:08
Speaker
Alpha, you saw all this from her point of view as though it was being acted out in perfect time.
00:39:17
Speaker
After a few moments, you come to on the floor and wake again.
00:39:24
Speaker
Reigns, you're just holding a stone that's glowing at this point. you just... ah As the door opens... And the next step three emerge.
00:39:36
Speaker
Oh, she was fun. Seth gives double, double hand thumbs up and a big grin to them as well. Princess, I am older.
00:39:47
Speaker
Gartron. Alpha, you sustain no damage. Like, fuck for that.
00:39:55
Speaker
Holy shit. I am older, yeah, I just got that.
00:40:01
Speaker
I think I have a headache. Okay.
00:40:07
Speaker
Now this is interesting. The Gatrans I know very little about other than they were the rulers of the past.
00:40:17
Speaker
They found Aerith
00:40:22
Speaker
many centuries.
00:40:27
Speaker
Thousands of years. um one looks to your Lemon looks to Reigns. Your grandad is pretty old.
00:40:37
Speaker
They say the Cardano line is the... they like to boast about it. It's one of the oldest, if not the oldest, lines of elven kind in all Earth.
00:40:49
Speaker
I expect your grandfather has found a way of manipulating aging.
00:40:56
Speaker
This is a very long lineage, even for an elf to look as you did, for her to be convinced
00:41:08
Speaker
Is it possible that Reigns was
00:41:13
Speaker
born to be some kind of simulacrum for Urian?
00:41:20
Speaker
but I can't answer that.
00:41:24
Speaker
Makes sense if Reigns seems to look like him. To use one body.
00:41:34
Speaker
I don't know much about that, I'm afraid.
00:41:41
Speaker
Reigns will just say without looking forward, for the best part of 300 years, the Cardinal have insisted that with every generation that they match with the Haddell bloodline, that they marry back in.
00:41:58
Speaker
And centuries upon centuries of incest and perhaps...
00:42:05
Speaker
We seem to have a lot of questions now.
00:42:09
Speaker
May I have that? and points to the obsidian you're holding with her light in it. I feel like we need to find more out about...
00:42:20
Speaker
the Gartrans.
00:42:23
Speaker
She said they were from Moonrise, correct? Aye. The Gartrans controlled all of Aerith, I think. I got that impression from what she was saying.
00:42:34
Speaker
But the one inside me... She was from Moonrise. Well, I think Moonrise is the oldest capital city we know of.
00:42:46
Speaker
that's where the moon comes from. Perhaps it is the seat of her power. It is where I believe the religion of, and looks at, reigns for some clarification. Those who follow the moon goddess, Moonrise, it's synonymous
00:43:04
Speaker
The general history and its a degree of conjecture because of the land, there are those who believe that Eryth used to have two moons and one of them in a catastrophe crashed down the earth and out of it, in the crater of what remained centuries later, they did form civilization and called it Moonrise.
00:43:35
Speaker
In turn, for fear of the other one falling, it became practice to pray to the moon goddess.
00:43:45
Speaker
She became picked up in Shadowland by the Ganassi ancestors who who used to to run that land before we did, and they worshipped Sol, and that's where the gods' union comes from.
00:44:04
Speaker
It's a degree of conjecture as to whether Moonrise is actually built on the crater of a fallen moon, but it's conjecture and theory and superstition enough that caused, well, the font of civilization in Ereph is, we know it, to to worship the one remaining
Humor and Quick Rebuilding of the City
00:44:24
Speaker
moon.
00:44:24
Speaker
She mentioned them gods. It's timely, then, that an object in the sky resembling a moon... has come crashing down to Aerith last night.
00:44:42
Speaker
seth what is it you're doing uh by this seth's just been half listening and then scribbling he's and um i believe he's probably stood next to nix at this point and he's just bullet pointed one two three on a piece of paper and then he elbows set um seth elbows next and points to it and it just says one i'm confused who do we kill next two I'm hungry chicken question mark and three.
00:45:13
Speaker
Why do you look so well rested? And then he's just kind of, looking at- Who you show the number three at? That's all of it. It's just to Nick's. He's not, this is while the conversation is happening. He's kind of, but it's history and it's, he zones out. It was not about something that's happening now or in the future. He just, and it's not blight. He didn't care.
00:45:31
Speaker
So he just starts looking around and then he's been looking at Nick for a couple of seconds and realizes why does he look, where the bags under his eyes less than somewhat. Might be a bit more upbeat. Something's changed here. And so he's just written those down and elbowed him and just shows him that the list.
00:45:47
Speaker
That's he's done.
00:45:51
Speaker
He's going to scribble back while this conversation is going like a couple of naughty children in the back of a classroom. Underneath the first one.
00:46:01
Speaker
That's the question. And underneath second one. I don't think we could take him. Underneath the third one, that's kind of you to say, i feel like shit as he acknowledges a level three exhaustion.
00:46:21
Speaker
a Sorry, if I could, sit and as you write the second one, as you start on the third, says, Seth's already kind of shaking his head as he kind of takes the quill off your hand quickly and goes back to the second one and goes, no, actual chicken.
00:46:35
Speaker
I'm hungry.
00:46:38
Speaker
ah And then Nix will then take a line and point an arrow to that answer to to join up his answer. Oh, no, that sounds great. Cool. So, but there's this links things, though, you know, the gold-faced demon.
00:46:56
Speaker
The fact that we were attacked on the road by Leopold's guards.
00:47:03
Speaker
This starts to put together some of the things that
00:47:08
Speaker
have happened. I don't know. I don't understand this connection of Leopold given that it happened centuries ago. A bit strange. um I'm no historian.
00:47:20
Speaker
Perhaps Leopold appears multiple times in that family lineage. Perhaps not. Indeed. Just interesting that they' they've actually attacked on the road and seems to be focused on members our group.
00:47:37
Speaker
oh good more if I've got a question. Yes. Why um i'm I taking ah ah just a heartbeat away from this situation here? Because I'm not too savvy with the Haddo family history.
00:47:55
Speaker
Why is this whole city look like it's just been rebuilt in a day?
00:48:02
Speaker
That's going to like nod like, me yeah, that's a good question. Because it was.
00:48:08
Speaker
How's that possible, given the level of destruction and chaos that befell this place? it's an It doesn't feel right. It's an interesting question.
00:48:24
Speaker
I am a shape changer. have 46 unique forms.
00:48:32
Speaker
I received an anonymous message a few days ago that said,
00:48:40
Speaker
We may be in need of all of your talents. With an underlying under all. Followed by very soon on the other side.
00:48:57
Speaker
I didn't take much time. I didn't observe the games. understood yourselves probably competed. I'm not about that.
00:49:09
Speaker
But we hosted a tournament and invited thousands of people to attend. So many of them
00:49:19
Speaker
capable of craft.
00:49:24
Speaker
How is it we were able to repair city so quick?
00:49:28
Speaker
Well, because we called nearly every able tradesperson
00:49:35
Speaker
here to watch a tournament.
00:49:40
Speaker
A tournament went wrong. The city required rebuilding. And all of that skilled labour and magic was here. Curious, no?
00:49:51
Speaker
but yeah Yes, yes, curious. It's so fucking curious. It sounds like someone had orchestrated everyone to be there of that particular crafting ability. Someone knew what was going to happen.
00:50:05
Speaker
Yes!
00:50:08
Speaker
Prego was the one organising the games. Right, are we along this similar sort of wave of thinking, though? Like, this just feels wrong.
00:50:19
Speaker
Bit convenient, wouldn't you agree? Everyone looks towards Ogremorf. I have friends in other kingdoms who lost their life last night. I imagine there's lots of kingdoms who are quite messed up right now.
00:50:38
Speaker
Early signs suggest every capital was impacted. Every capital? All 12. 12 kingdoms, 12 capitals. Suffered a attack, like what we witnessed?
00:50:54
Speaker
Yes.
00:50:57
Speaker
So Goldview, Moonrise, Great Haddo, all Yes, Goldview has the large contingent of Deep Kriskra and the remainders of the Hailstorm Surge, quite a force to protect it.
00:51:15
Speaker
Moonrise had the Obsidianus, so it's largely unscathed.
00:51:23
Speaker
Shadowmend has the Great Forces that don't help any other part of Aerith but their own.
00:51:34
Speaker
I imagine they're safe. Nearly every other kingdom, however, did not benefit from such forces. Holy shit!
00:51:44
Speaker
Did this all happen at the same time?
Simultaneous Kingdom Attacks
00:51:51
Speaker
i think so. Ooh, this is far bigger than
00:52:02
Speaker
i
00:52:05
Speaker
ah All I understand is that a lot of life was lost in the last few hours.
00:52:14
Speaker
Every kingdom was affected. What are the the heads of each region saying? What's the general consensus of what's happened? What's the thought proof?
00:52:26
Speaker
but well what i mean, if people are thinking about fucking rebuilding already... what What about the direction of who's to blame and what we're going to do about that?
00:52:39
Speaker
This is in whatever's coming next. I would imagine attacking the capitals mean that the kingdoms that couldn't defend themselves don't have any leaders left, Nix.
00:52:54
Speaker
If you wanted to cripple a nation, attacking the capitals where the people who run the place If only there were a force that embedded themselves in every capital in Eryth.
00:53:08
Speaker
what Where were the Obkriska during this?
00:53:13
Speaker
I can't speak for other cities. But for at least Goldview and Scorchhelm, they protected it.
00:53:24
Speaker
This is messed up. So the Obkriska might have been... predationing themselves to protect from what was coming. Yeah, there's a lot of talk about Prego, and from what I've seen of that elf, he is many things, and when he's completely in control, elf demon, whatever he is, he was not in control of that.
00:53:44
Speaker
I don't think it was Prego. aye The one person who seemed to react to that quicker than anyone else was Delmon Trace.
00:53:54
Speaker
Well, we know there are way people who have magic be able to see into the future. We used to know one, or we know one.
00:54:04
Speaker
I can try and speak to him. It might be something worth it, but he's probably not the only one in the world who can see into the future. People might have known what was going happen, and or could see possibilities what was going to happen.
00:54:20
Speaker
There are 13, I think.
00:54:26
Speaker
Oh, we might know some of them. I don't know names. But I know there are 13 time seers. think we do. Reigns just have up has a thought, and it's one he said earlier, and he's going to just look at Ogrimoth and say, it's not a capital, but it's a big city and very important, given what we've just heard, particularly regarding memory ruins.
00:54:53
Speaker
What about Dashcalride? They have the Drake Wardens, right? They're Dash Cowrile would have been okay. I don't know. I'm here.
00:55:04
Speaker
All of my forms have to stay close. I'm not all omnipotent. i' I'm just a shape changer. oh Given that all your forms are here, do you know who asked you here?
00:55:22
Speaker
This is my home. But you said you received a letter saying that we will need you possibly soon. Who sent that letter? I don't know. But I... Do you still have that letter?
00:55:37
Speaker
And he produces it.
00:55:40
Speaker
It was not signed. But it had this.
00:55:45
Speaker
It shows a wax seal.
00:55:49
Speaker
A wax seal identical to the wax seal you all received on the eve of the games inviting you to the toast from the games master of the Jewel of Devlet Champions. We've got to talk to Prego.
00:56:02
Speaker
Prego seal. I don't know what Prego is. It's a demon.
00:56:11
Speaker
Interesting. I'm not one of those. no No, we know. And I don't have any dealings with them.
00:56:19
Speaker
No, but he's, as always, pretty powerful, feels to be ah step ahead of us. And it's getting really fucking annoying. He's put us on paths. He's stopped us from doing certain things. He's saved us in order to do certain things.
00:56:37
Speaker
I don't know if the great games here are anything like the ones in Shadow Man, but if Prego holds to any form of tradition like we do, he'll have to grant an audience with Baal. Baal's his champion, and therefore we'll have to be willing to grant him an audience.
00:56:53
Speaker
i don't know what this means. um If it's all well and good, I'd quite like to just check on my dear friend who was a pile of metal a second ago.
00:57:05
Speaker
Yeah, been a bit... What you think, Alpha? And Ogremoth just snatches out of your hand, Reigns, the obsidian light. And Ogremoth just does a few sort of visual inspections.
00:57:19
Speaker
He seems untouched. Emotionally, well, you can deal with that. But I wonder... Alpha, this...
00:57:32
Speaker
This that came from Magnus... yeah
00:57:38
Speaker
This contains what's left of Princess I am older that's not embedded within you. And you notice as he says the words that flashes instead, almost like the that there's a redirect on on that pain response that you've been feeling and that the obsidian stone from Magnus shines instead.
00:58:02
Speaker
This is a conduit for speaking to her in the future.
00:58:09
Speaker
But do so sparingly.
00:58:13
Speaker
Every time you do, will weaken her memory. And by result,
00:58:22
Speaker
render you inoperable, Alpha.
Alpha's New Abilities and Marota's Farewell
00:58:27
Speaker
Oh, damn. Use this sparingly.
00:58:33
Speaker
But don't be afraid of it. Do you understand? Yes. Yes, I do. Do you have any idea how many times we may be able to use the stone?
00:58:50
Speaker
I do not. It depends which decays quicker. Her memory or your body.
00:58:58
Speaker
Your ability to be animated by her memory. I mean, and just cast a glance at Emron to hope he wasn't offending when he said that the body would decay.
00:59:13
Speaker
It was no offence. But she's also very powerful. This may come in handy in a tight spot and places that Magnus' obsidian rune in your hand
00:59:35
Speaker
And then it goes into some details with you and detecting that you're understanding him speaks in a very archaic primordial language.
00:59:47
Speaker
And I don't know, Reigns, perhaps you may speak Primordial because of your Genasi sort of ganaity yeah i do speak care. But sort of details that you can use this rune in place of what's powering you and that you could use Magnus' rune just by activating a certain word and an Alpha will swap properties about himself.
01:00:18
Speaker
And he says,
01:00:22
Speaker
say the phrase and the stone will change you.
01:00:30
Speaker
Say it again and it'll change you back.
01:00:34
Speaker
But again, use it sparingly. You are two bodies, two souls in one form.
01:00:45
Speaker
you understand?
01:00:49
Speaker
Yes. Yes, I do. And if he's holding the stone, he's going to just look at this faint blue glow, um ah possibly even feel maybe a little empty himself, just now seeing what was such like a big part of him as an external um item now, just an object.
01:01:15
Speaker
And he's going to grip it tightly and just hold it close to him just for a few moments.
01:01:26
Speaker
As you're holding it, you're feeling a real connection to it.
01:01:36
Speaker
And now for what you've got access to is the following.
01:01:42
Speaker
Once per week, it takes an hour.
01:01:46
Speaker
You can change the core that powers you from what it is now
01:01:53
Speaker
to Princess Ayamold Akatra.
01:01:58
Speaker
You will remain the same alpha, but instead of an artificer, you'll be an equivalent level sorcerer instead. Whoa. Oh, shit.
01:02:12
Speaker
That's cool. Wow.
01:02:17
Speaker
That's a different kind of multi-class. That's amazing. the personal withers is that i i just want to clarify what that once per week once per week that mean i can it's it's like a week recharge right so yeah so i go in i can spend a certain time as princess and then when i decide to i can go back you'll still be alpha it's just the way you're powered will be different okay you can alternate between classes
01:02:52
Speaker
is it I think what Cal's asking is, is it once he does it, is it permanent until he turns it off? Yeah. And then it would then it would take a week to recharge after he turned off? Yeah. yeah They use it sparingly, he warns.
01:03:07
Speaker
And there's probably a question coming about where can you get some dragon teeth. a yeah So, okay, yeah we should
01:03:19
Speaker
we should get some food because we've got a lot to think about. Seth's eyes per cup. yeah I will not be able to be in this form for another 26 days. um Thank you for being in it now, because it's sooner than you said you could originally.
01:03:32
Speaker
Well, needs must. I got this note, and I had to spend quite a lot of gold to do this, so I'm pleased they're making some impact on the city. Doing a good job.
01:03:45
Speaker
If you... If you happen to throw some sort of memorial for my assistant... Please invite one of us.
01:03:56
Speaker
I'll, um... Me at least. And one or two others will miss... her.
01:04:06
Speaker
Did you know much about her? I saved her.
01:04:12
Speaker
She was working for the Akriskra and wanted out. She wanted a new identity. She wanted a new purpose.
01:04:22
Speaker
She was in too deep and some messed up shit, to quote her.
01:04:31
Speaker
And I said, I've got the perfect thing for someone who wants a different challenge.
01:04:37
Speaker
That's when I said, there's a creature made of metal I've seen at sea, headed for Goldview.
01:04:47
Speaker
And that's sort of where we began. i gave her a new form. I gave her a new name.
01:04:57
Speaker
She was no longer part of the Kriskra Prime. Instead, she was Marota Broken Tusk.
01:05:10

Poet. Nick's leaves.
01:05:22
Speaker
That was her.
01:05:25
Speaker
she follow Did she follow Alito? Yes, and others. She liked all the temples here in Scotch Helm. She had the tattoos.
01:05:36
Speaker
I saw them. She liked Aledo because they punched each other a lot. Yeah.
01:05:44
Speaker
We should do something for her.
01:05:48
Speaker
Like I said, please let one of us know if you do. would be fitting, I think, for some of us to say goodbye. Is there anywhere in the city that you believe she would prefer to be remembered?
01:06:04
Speaker
This form, no. We didn't have much of an emotional connection. I don't know. Perhaps she has some friends somewhere that know her best.
01:06:17
Speaker
to find out. been lot of talk of the old gods today. It's only a small gesture that I can offer, but
01:06:27
Speaker
sunrise to- tomorrow morning, overlooking the sea, I can offer thanks for what she's done for me getting Alpha and us to this point.
01:06:39
Speaker
And as the gods unite in the sky, I can, anyone wants to say thank you, i can I can't stand here and say that it's a thing for Marola because I knew Marauda intimately. I don't think I barely knew her at all based on what I've heard today, but it's a gesture of sincere gratitude and thanks. If anyone wishes to, to join me for it.
01:07:12
Speaker
I'll write that down somewhere. Whoever I am in the morning, perhaps they'll attend.
01:07:19
Speaker
For what it's worth, that poor girl's had her memory rewritten more times than, uh, I can't count, um If she knew you for an extended period of time, was the longest she probably knew anyone.
01:07:35
Speaker
We should go off to Nyx. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your assistance. You really have a very dangerous memory, Alpha, powering you.
01:07:50
Speaker
Seth's just going to write one more thing on ah on a piece of paper and kind of hand it towards Ogramor's eyes. And he's just going to say, so, who do we kill? He's going to smile.
01:08:06
Speaker
Summons a mage hand. and Some gestures for some charcoal or a quill or anything you've got. Yeah, he's got a piece of his hand hands, but charcoal to the mage hand.
01:08:19
Speaker
He writes...
01:08:26
Speaker
There are multiple enemies, depending on your perspective. Full stop.
Final Jokes and Episode Conclusion
01:08:35
Speaker
Seth's going shrug at that and look around to the others.
01:08:41
Speaker
Do we all see the paper? it It seems so. It wasn't discreetly handed, Seth. Do we all see what's on the paper? It's written in common.
01:08:52
Speaker
Alpha is going to turn to Seth. Quick glance to Reigns.
01:08:59
Speaker
I believe Eurion is on my to-do list, shall we say?
01:09:06
Speaker
That's if he is who he is. We need to get to the bottom of everything.
01:09:12
Speaker
owe the person inside me, or in this stone, quite a lot. Yep, we need to discuss her as well.
01:09:23
Speaker
Okay. So you all head back, presumably to the pissed Newt. um um Everyone would have gone out to try and find Nyx. ni walk out Did you ah continue to advance outside of the district?
01:09:36
Speaker
No, no, he wouldn't have gone far. He just couldn't handle listening to anything more about um his friend. So he just walked a little ways out. It wasn't a storm off. It was it was more of a disengage, just so he couldn't hear any more voices.
01:09:52
Speaker
ah So you'd see him. As soon you'd exit the door, he'd be around.
01:09:58
Speaker
Everyone, does anything you want to say before Seth, Rains and Alpha come out? Nix, you're okay. Okay.
01:10:06
Speaker
No.
01:10:08
Speaker
But... No, don't expect you would be.
01:10:13
Speaker
oh What's the next heading? Food, I believe, was the plan. I think Seth will be happy with that. And give us a chance to try and unpick what the fuck we do next.
01:10:29
Speaker
Sebastian's going to lose his shit over over all this. His mind map's going to be all over the place.
01:10:36
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Are you glad he's here? Who? Sebastian.
01:10:48
Speaker
Yeah, I won't lie. It's very weird. i don't know what happened to him.
01:10:57
Speaker
I don't know what happened to him. because Seth was broken when he was gone.
01:11:04
Speaker
Just this more strange things that happened. Him just disappearing out of nowhere and then having no memory of going. That don't make sense.
01:11:17
Speaker
At all.
01:11:22
Speaker
But it seemed to be important to Seth and it seemed to be important to everything that Sebastian seems to have a ah finger on the pulse of stuff. Yeah. Like he's got answers maybe that will help the world, right?
01:11:41
Speaker
Yeah. Well, yeah. Theories and and and and answers and at least an idea that all this is connected and that there needs to be some direction. It's better than us just bimbling around in the darkness from one crisis to the other. Right. Going clip clop all the time.
01:11:57
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Good. Yeah, i i I think he's got answers that can help. We should speak to him. ah Well, I think we're going to speak to him tomorrow. Evening.
01:12:09
Speaker
I think we're going go. think there was a meeting, he said. Or tomorrow. Yeah.
01:12:17
Speaker
Savvy. Guess we'll see what Biles went up to. He'll bet he'll have a story to tell. Sure. Sure.
