Introduction and Zencastr Praise
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello. Chungus Bongwater here. Druid. Stargazer. God Killer. You know me. I love nothing more than just to sit down by myself and have a good fiddle with my dick. One eye on the sky, counting the stars, the other on my dick. That's my motto. I made them myself, you know. Each and every card. I'd love to share it with you. Best case scenario, you could see my dick? Maybe hold it?
00:00:29
Speaker
But I know that we're miles and miles away, so that's not exactly practical. So instead, I thought I'd set up a podcast all about my dick. And you know what? The best browser software to help me do this has been Zencaster. It's super easy for me to record studio quality sound with up to 4K video with guests. They'll be able to pick out every minute detail of my dick off cards. It's so exciting. But what if there's an unstable connection between us? I hear you scream? Well, multi-layered backups ensure that I get to keep safe all the recordings in the highest quality. If you're anything like Kratz, with a voice like a Badger's arse, you might worry what you sound like. Zencaster's post-production processes can help there, making you sound as smooth as the box which contains all my astrology cards. My dick, for those unsure.
00:01:29
Speaker
You can set the podcast loudness and levels with the click of a button and the post-production processes can also automatically remove those um's and ah's in recordings and even awkward pauses in conversation. Like when you ask Kratz to not shit in the house and he just sits there, in bare form, squeezing and grunting.
00:01:50
Speaker
What's better is that I have a code which you can use to get 30% off your first month of any paid Zencaster plan. Just go to zencaster dot.com forward slash pricing and use my code table top and you'll get 30% off your first month of any Zencaster paid plan.

Speaker
I want you to have the same easy experiences I do for all my podcasting and content needs. It's time to share your story.
00:02:18
Speaker
You can find links to this in the podcast description via whatever podcast app you're using. Oh, right, I've got to go. Kratz is pouring at the back door again. Kratz, no, no, no Kratz, not on my carpet now! Fuck.
D&D Cast and Setting Introduction

Speaker
When we met Sebastian, he telepathically spoke to me and...
00:02:37
Speaker
i didn't understand
00:03:10
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's live episode of The Fellowship of the Tabletop, Balim Draconis. We are a live play 5e D and&D podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of everything in the kingdom of Dralak. Joining me for this week's episode, we have Willy Plays the Dragonborn, Drew Balbalcon. Hamburgers. We've got Ian who plays the Tiefling Walser and Nick Skarell.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yep. The Edgelord calendly plays the Warforged Artifice of Alpha. Sausage! Dyranny plays the High Elf Artifice of Rain's head out! That's a nice app pizza. Pooh Bear, who plays the human cleric Emron. Mmm, meaty bones. My name is Mark and I am playing the human blade singer Seth Farah River, but my last but my name's least is our lord, hoarding the live recording, Dungeon Master Danny. Thank you very much for that. That's a nice one, as I know I like to ask. Vegan Queen behind the DM screen.
00:03:50
Speaker
I was still a winner. That needs to be... You are our vegan queen. It needs to be beat. I am so much a vegan queen, you cooked me my own burger. Yes, queen. Yeah. It was... You're worth it, man. I do it every day. As these live recordings go on, though, I will just... I have been adding to them and they have gotten more and more sexualised as time goes on. But Darren is picking them randomly between one and six... one and eight, and he picked the last two. Well, now I know it's in, like, ascending order again at eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that high number. You can roll. The last two are just... they're not even D&D-related. They're just gestures. They're just sexual ages. You're smut. Literally 100% smut. Speaking of smut... Speaking of smut... We find... Old girl in a titty bar. Just stroking the nipples with his long toes. Stay there, girl! I'm almost done!
00:04:36
Speaker
Who calls it a tittie bar? Who calls it a tittie bar? Well, doesn't I? I'm wrong about it. There's tittie bars you go to. And this is the throwback to our Christmas episode where... Titties for days. Who's like, what are you thinking about? Titties for
Plot Advancement and Conflict
00:04:48
Speaker
days. Titties for days. It was deliberately dropping in the succubus from Love Actually, the one that he buys the necklace for and we'll take that as titties for days. Titties for days. Yeah, that is.
00:05:00
Speaker
Well, speaking of tiddies, though, we do see Old Girl sat in one of the nice, calm gardens of Terriani, looking up at a tit, a blue tit, as it flits from tree to tree. The daisies are in full bloom and the air is rich with the scent of flowers and springtime nature. His long toenails digging marks into the soil below.
00:05:23
Speaker
It was a calmness in the air, apart from his raspy breathing and his dirty nails digging into the soil. but I don't think it's that long, long nails.
00:05:38
Speaker
Like when he wears sandals, the toe can like touch the stuff while he's wearing the sandals. But he's content. He's happy for the first time in what feels like a while, he thinks, though time seems to change. Suddenly the orb glows deep in his pocket and he pulls it out and stares deeply into it.
00:06:01
Speaker
Oooh, Vlad the Lad! It's noisy day up above there's letter on the table from Prago! It basically says something about at sunset they need to make their way to the melee for the toast of the duel of the desert champions. The group makes a plan, Baal reveals a contingency to Seth in the form of a letter and some items that he leaves behind in his bedroom.
00:06:24
Speaker
The city is lit up with people like the Olympics. It's busy. There's lots of gabbos. There's lots of demi-orcs. There's lots of people from all over everything, including lots of people from shadow men. Oh, fuck. Team shadow men go to the dragon horde tavern to meet up with Vorndan. It is filled with adventurers. And in the back room with a plate of eggs for some reason is like some scene.
00:06:47
Speaker
He's kind of dead on the done. And Von Dan's all like, oh, oh, she's been enslaved. And he's like, no, loud joke. She ain't actually, she's, yeah, anyway. And he says that he's placed some bets on people in that big old brawl. Alpha's like, oh yeah, by the way, guys, I've got this goblin clan that have been invited to stay at Goldport. Keep it if you'd like, it's up to you. And Von Dan's like, if you want some more work, boys, you come straight back here.
00:07:16
Speaker
Meanwhile, Seth gets pickpocketed like a bitch, and pretty much fucks up an encounter outside the arena. Oh well. Uh, he needs some grave dust for a funky cold smell. Uh, smell? What am I talking about? A funky old spell called feign death? They head to the temple of the Triumvirate, and then, uh, Baal's like, I'm gonna go off to the Fimbok district. Meanwhile, Nix heads over to see Sura, the Tyriani temple. But they're not there. They're traveling urgently in distress. Probably something to do with what the fuck he did yesterday.
00:07:44
Speaker
Anywho, he's like, I'm just gonna detect some thoughts, but fucks it up. Meanwhile, he goes back to the harbor that he said he'd go to in the first place and meets that little boy Vlad, who's an absolute fucking hero. And he's been looking out for the group and being like, I'm gonna get some information to you there, Nix. He says he sees some monsters coming in off the boats for the tournament. Very exciting.
00:08:04
Speaker
And Vlad's all like, by the way, Nix, there's gonna be loads of bets, probably for you, but not for your friends, because fuck them. And he also says, also by the way, Lord Vossan found out that someone is in deep doodoo here in Scorch Helm. Someone pretending to be someone that they ain't. Don't know what that could possibly mean. And he says there's a lot of upcrisp, a lot of Voshen crew here. And meanwhile, Seth goes off and fucks a grave. ah No, he doesn't. Sorry, I must have misseen that. He actually gets some grave dust off the grave. And whilst he's doing that, the ground is all shaky, shaky. And he turns around and sees but that that melee brawl pipi raising off the ground above the sky and turning into something three times as big. Oh, fuck!
00:08:47
Speaker
So we find ourselves in this jaw-dropped, urban metropolis as part of the landscape, part of the architecture that has existed in Scorchon for hundreds of years is now being resized and elevated amongst your in front of your very eyes. We find ourselves in the direction of the Mystic Quarter that our trio from Shadowment, Rains, Alpha and Emron are heading to for a variety of tasks.
00:09:19
Speaker
Nix having looked out into the bay and gained some more information from his I don't know what we would call him. Trusty, trusty informant. ah Pirate in making. Pirate in making. There we go. Inprentice pirate. Yeah. If you will. Padawan pirate. Has returned. Crotchet. Crotchet. No, from Muppet's treasure island. And Bones from the treasure island. Nah.
00:09:54
Speaker
You almost got the ingot. It'll work. I'm styling it out. That's all it is, a radicalised child. Yeah, exactly that. That you have grooved into helping you. You're paying him money for. Fucking hell. After that encounter with that child, you spend the rest of the day in the pissed nude, joined slightly later by Seth.
00:10:19
Speaker
Baal will come to you shortly, but in the mystic quarter, now quite a wash with tourists. People who are coming in are marbling at this really unique environment where it's almost like a slice of another kingdom has been dropped in the middle of this desert city.
00:10:39
Speaker
What do you three want to do?
00:10:43
Speaker
Al could be looking around and obviously taking note of how busy it is now, by comparison. um Maybe even getting a bit slightly confused as to which direction. the May we go to the changing workshop near here, at first? Yeah, should be alright. We've got the packages delivered, but yeah, that's cool too. I hopefully will not take a long time.
00:11:08
Speaker
Okay. Do I actually know where it is or do I have to kind of... you'd So if you're standing in the middle square, you'd see quite quickly which one you're referring to. Yeah, I said i will head over now and knock. It's the
Mystical Exploration and Revelations
00:11:18
Speaker
purposes of ah Emron and Raines who haven't seen it. You're in this really beautiful square with four buildings that shouldn't, that don't really comply with the laws of physics. Ah, ah, exist.
00:11:31
Speaker
The largest and most um brutal of, to coin the artistic movement, of ah the four structures is the workshop of the Changeling. It's this mass of vibrating metal that that almost looks like it's constantly in a state of blur, a bit like the displacer serpents you fought in the desert.
00:11:52
Speaker
It seems to be both still and in motion, simultaneously. There are a dozen, two dozen industrial chimneys that will flute out of the top of this building and all emanate these different coloured fumes into this one larger rainbow-like cloud above it. There is one single copper bridge built over this moat of quicksand that surrounds the building and leads into this hall. The doors are open, you can tell.
00:12:17
Speaker
and You're heading inside. I will knock first. Doors are open. Oh, OK. Sorry. Yeah, I will just walk inside then. So you know you find yourself quickly inside this vast workshop where all manner of tool and and instrument is sort of scattered and laid out. This is not well arranged. This is a chaotic scene. But even in your combined artificery knowledge and emon your understanding of a forge and and working metal,
00:12:44
Speaker
There are tools here that just don't make sense what their purposes or what they're doing there are fires on certain sort of stone structures that that don't seem to work like This place is a marvel and you only understand about 30% of anything in this space You can't see the ceiling due to the the a really elaborate incantation of a frozen snowy skyline. I think um the Hogwarts Great Hall roof, but rather than a night sky, it's sort of like an arctic ah environment.
00:13:19
Speaker
Around the walls are various schematics for for toys, for engines, for armors, for weapons, for vehicles. and just scattered in the floor, almost like just sawdust, chicken feed in various pockets.
00:13:40
Speaker
After a few moments of just orienting yourselves between the sound of all this industry, you just hear this occasional grunting and this large shadowy figure moving from workstation to workstation, followed by levitating objects behind him. But you're in this,
00:13:57
Speaker
Airplane hangar size room. What do you have to do? This is amazing! Oh my god would you look at that! That is the most beautiful ah just that Oh my god, is that it that that' illusion magic up there? Does that tell me that that ain't real, but it looks so real. It don't feel cold. I don't want to hear it feel cold. I don't feel cold, but it looks so good. Oh my god, I'm just... I don't even know what that tool is. I assume it's a tool in some of the libraries. Is that chicken feet? Oh my god, what is this? Rinse. Rinse. Could you make a constitution saving story? You have yourself with excitement. Great desire, but it's just like...
00:14:38
Speaker
17. 17. You managed to hold back some involuntary movements from your body, either through the eye, through the rear, or elsewhere. Oh wow. I mean... Just... My goodness! Where is... what where where Where are they? Where is this artificial? Where are they? did Excuse me, sir. Hello? um And there is an echo of dropping metal. Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank.
00:15:06
Speaker
and then booming steps towards you. Surfaces around you with like liquids are just creating that ripple effect like from Jurassic Park. As this... Make a perception check, everyone.
00:15:24
Speaker
20, not natural. Thank you. 15. 15. ah Natural one for three. Oh well. You want my t-shirt mate? I'm still amazed by all the stuff that's going on right now. I'm not paying attention to this. but You are entirely distracted as well. And unable to really react to what you see. Emron reigns this 12 foot hulking werewolf steps interview.
00:16:04
Speaker
Put me.
00:16:09
Speaker
Watch it.
00:16:13
Speaker
A big fan. Big fan of all of this, by the way. um can i just ah can we can i Can we talk to you for a second? at That's the most beautiful illusory-based ceiling that I have ever seen! like how How did you do that? What is this? what is ah Why is there chicken feet everywhere? up ah So many questions. Hi, i'm um my name's Rains and and you are?
00:16:38
Speaker
It detaches this apron, so there's just full fur but preserves this black blacksmith apron, just unfastens it at the back, takes it off and begins to lick its lips. Sexy. And you see this huge mouth of jagged teeth staring at you. Our friend here, and everyone indicates towards Alpha, is looking for ogromorphies, interesting, getting something fixed that we've been told can only happen here.
00:17:30
Speaker
And then it unsettles again and goes back into this ball of uncontrollable energy, pops back in and it's this arachrochro, this tiny arachrochro who can't really speak but just sort of nods rhythmically.
00:17:44
Speaker
and then changes once again and then eventually lands on this dwarf, this dwarf whose hair goes right down to his feet and into the floor and just sort of mops up the chicken feed around him and it's sort of coming down the front like Cousin It from Adam's family and he has to sort of just part it with his pinkies and it is this very old heavily facially tattooed dwarf.
00:18:09
Speaker
Lycra form. No, no, it's not that. It's not that. Oh, God, I thought it was blood magic, but it's not. This is some kind of... Who knows? Oh, my God. It's like a... It raises a hand and casts a silence on you. Not that you know. Still going. Mm-hmm. I just... Right, you can see, Reigns is saying that no one can hear it, that they can see the gesture. No, no, it's transmutation magic. That's absolutely beautiful transmutation magic. Everyone no longer looks annoyed at me, which means he's clearly also fully invested in this. Oh, this is great. Reigns has now spun around and is just going round.
00:18:39
Speaker
this workshop just then gesturing at all the things that he can see. He's turned away. And as you do, you sort of make small movements. Eventually, you find yourself out of that sphere of silence again and you continue to put your hands up. You don't realise. It just comes back and your voice just fills the chamber again. It's just incredible. I mean, genuinely, how on earth does this thing sustain itself? This thing is just the best. Oh, I'm sorry. You are here for reasons that is not my current excitement.
00:19:08
Speaker
someone else talk please i'm just gonna be over here it's inspect how good this all is Can I suggest we just start from the beginning? What is it you want? I'm wondering if you might be able to help me repair an implement of mine?
00:19:23
Speaker
And he's just going to reach into his satchel and pull out the bits and pieces that's just left over from this pistol. And this big weighty hand just lands on yours and scoops up all of these parts in one single hand. Looks at it for less than a second and looks back at you and says, I can help you.
00:19:44
Speaker
20, let's call it 20 gold. Very reasonable. 30 gold. Less reasonable. 25.
00:19:55
Speaker
And he just shoves it. It's awful, that's not how ugly it works. He shoves it in this pouch that's sort of beside where you're talking and begins to sort of shake the bag and says, I'll have this in an hour. Oh, very good. Thank you. We can come back after we've finished our other business then.
00:20:14
Speaker
if that is okay with yourself. Any gestures towards... That might be... Your business concluded, but tell me how you know my name. ah The Smith of Clan Shadowshield said we should come this way. like And he knows my name?
00:20:35
Speaker
I'll have to kill him. My chart.
00:20:43
Speaker
at the Agramoth and he goes back into this ball of energy again as you say that name and it again just warps and warps and warps and turns out and he has this big green skin dragonborn and just looks at you for a second looks very disappointed in himself looks at his hands rolls his eyes and before he can say anything back into a ball of energy comes out it's a sheep
00:21:12
Speaker
captain Can you talk in sheep form? that So um it was a ah ah someone from... I suppose we could understand this. I'm going to cast a message into women's dad and do it that way. so it at Is it wise to stop mentioning your a name?
00:21:41
Speaker
He's still barring in my mind. Okay, won't mention the name anymore. Let's change tact. Artificery's supposed to be quite a new thing, and this is just the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I gotta ask you how. I've gotta at least ask you how I can come across less abrasive, less annoying, which is what can I do to to talk to you about this, because this is... Sorry, you might be the the greatest genius I've ever met.
Tensions and Preparations
00:22:08
Speaker
That. Everyone's watching, Ray just talks with you. Rids, I don't think this is going to get us anywhere. Hog Remorph. And then goes back into a ball of energy, starts swirling, swirling and swirling. And it is this red skinned female tiefling, a hugely busted tiefling, wearing absolutely no clothing. Makes runs through. um And then shapes again. And then comes back out.
00:22:38
Speaker
Human. Sebastian told us your name. I see. yeah What the fuck? Which Sebastian?
00:22:51
Speaker
from From... You're in it now. From Goldview. Sebastian from Goldview. Yes. I don't know Sebastian from Goldview. He told us anyway.
00:23:06
Speaker
Well, I have to kill every Sebastian in Golgi. Now, thank you for that. So... If you'd like to come back in an hour, I'll fix up your reporting. Your questions were many. Would you like to begin with one? Yeah. Perhaps I could ask a question first. but Please, please. Yeah, of course. Where did you get a Nakavola? We made him. Do you mean get? You made him? Yes. I see. And what powers him?
00:23:36
Speaker
um I mean, as much as I could tell you, Alfa, I can't said stop disclosing things about you, so go ahead if you want to tell him. It is a memory room. Ah, one of yours? Turns back to Reigns and Emron. It's from Source, it's been plucked from the the highest point in the gift of life at Dashkalrai, but not one of mine. It's not out of memory, it's not one of our memories. Very dangerous.
00:24:06
Speaker
You put a memory room inside at him, they, her? I suppose him. I suppose him. And you come out with no understanding of whose memory it is. Very irresponsible. Really? If I may interject, is there a way to lean into more understanding of the person inside the memory room?
00:24:34
Speaker
Yes, but in my end, ah sacrificing who you have become. Oh.
00:24:42
Speaker
so So... But whoever that person is, if they're dangerous, well, then we're all fucked. It's, uh... There's a lot to it, a lot to it. the The way I can explain in a way that will tangibly make sense to you is I've studied artificery for six, seven, eight, well, actually best part of 10 years, factoring another 10 years beyond that. So you probably read a book in that time. Yeah, yeah, well, about 20 years total if you throw in the the reading that you obviously have to do. Day one.
00:25:19
Speaker
So you read a book? No, no that that's what I did read a book, but I've done a lot of other things as well. Anyway, the salient point is is that from the moment Alpha came into consciousness, everything I understood about Artificery at the time. Perhaps you did not understand much about Artificery at the time? Well, ah probably limited compared to you, granted, but...
00:25:43
Speaker
Enough to be able to do it. like Like, I had that. And it took me years to get to that point. Don't get me wrong, but Alpha switched on and could do it. Okay. I thought you'd be more impressed by that. than than you But that doesn't defend your actor putting a memory room in which you have no absolutely earthly idea of what possesses it. No, it doesn't. um look This sort of stuff would get you killed. Misuse of magic.
00:26:13
Speaker
I would not deem my birth, any self-questioning, a misuse of magic. I am grateful for my presence in being here, to be able to enjoy things. The thought does not lie on your shoulders. It was those who created you without knowing the full components of which they used to create you. The Nakavolo I have met, every maker understood the memory rune they used. How many Nakavolo have you met? Over 2,000.
00:26:44
Speaker
Where?
00:26:47
Speaker
Various places, I suppose. We were given to understand that they were a ah lot lost art form in their creation. Maybe it was just in Shadow Mend itself that they were rare. Well, your understanding is interesting.
00:27:05
Speaker
Are they all in one similar location? Are they nearby? the um Many interesting questions. Could you please answer one? Not until we get to the bottom of your memory room, for we do not know who is listening. A former teacher of mine, Grand Maester Asphalt of Shellman,
00:27:34
Speaker
I believe he knew or had knowledge of the room. He made me promise to never try and find out or delve where I have questions of it. And that wasn't a red flag. It was, but I couldn't help myself. It's... But as I had to create life with so strong, you were willing to take a gamble. It's one way of looking at it. I see. I see.
00:28:05
Speaker
Interesting. But the... why the point is, is that when Grandma Isarachpal died... Well, I suppose any trace to who was in that memory room died with him.
00:28:22
Speaker
Wrong. We better find out who you are. Okay. You'll need to come back tomorrow. I can't do it in this form. There's only one form I can enter a memory room, or at least open one.
00:28:37
Speaker
um I believe we have plans tomorrow. um wherere We're entered into the tournament. And it'll be a week. A week? Yes. Oh, you son of a bitch. I have four and a half thousand forms currently, and I have to experience them each in rotation. I was the one you needed this morning.
00:29:04
Speaker
but The sheep? Not the sheep. Though I would understand how someone of your limited intellect would think this. Sorry, just to clarify. So you're going to be in the form tomorrow and then in a week's time? Yes. So when tomorrow specifically? It depends how many people know my name apparently.
00:29:26
Speaker
Apologies for that. Nobody told us about the name thing. If we say that your name more, will you get to that form sooner? No, I'm unlikely to cause a massive explosion that will destroy the city from unstable, iconic use. Oh. Sounds slightly irresponsible.
00:29:44
Speaker
Everyone's just going to edge away from... Everyone edges away from rage. Just like, oh, do it that way. You're going to poke the bear and we're just going to edge away from rage. I too was created by irresponsible creators.
00:30:00
Speaker
Now, I'll have your gun fixed up in an hour. Thank you for your custom. And thank you. And if you can't visit tomorrow, then next week you shall have your answer. Same time, this time next week.
00:30:13
Speaker
Look for when I emit green fumes. Green fumes, okay. Arthur, have you paid there? Have you paid him? Please, yes, of course. I will chuck you 25 goals. Thank you.
00:30:26
Speaker
Thank you. Very curious. Very curious indeed. May I encourage you to never use memory rune magic for which you do not know the memory within. Yeah, Reins.
00:30:44
Speaker
And I note your encouragement. Sorry. Now, doesn't that feel better? Telling off some simple minds.
00:30:57
Speaker
When you're ready, you may leave. Fucking brilliant. Thank you. Come on, we've got deliveries to do. Let's go. Thank you very much. One moment. What did you say your name was? Me? Yes. I'm sorry, I tell everyone else. I'm Prince Rain's Haddow. From Shadow Man's. I don't care for the rest. Okay, well, I'm Rain's Haddow. I see. And where is my companion?
00:31:27
Speaker
What was you talking about? A colleague of mine was sent to escort, protect, and otherwise look after the company of Raines Haddow. In Goldview, hmm, perhaps a year ago, time's lost on me sometimes. Raines without saying if it takes up two Rubik's cubes, holds them both out. One has Yander on it, one has Magnus on it. No.
00:31:52
Speaker
Curious and more curious. I expect totally how I was expecting. Who was your colleague? What was your colleague's name? I don't remember her name. High folk. Marota. Ah, bubbly. So Marota's, she was travelling with us for a while, then she fell off a cliff and we thought she was dead and then she came back to us six months later and then we were in the desert and she then wandered off and it turns out That she's here. Apparently. Without her memory. In the city. Yes, that poor creature's had her memory changed far more times than she cared to count. Yeah. Hold up. She was sent to bring me here. No, just locate you. Well, she did that. And then what was she supposed to do? For you. Locate him for you. Yes. Well, here I am. Here you are.
00:32:49
Speaker
Anything else? We believe Marauder has entered into the tournament under the guise of the Valkyrie. I don't know anything about that. OK. We're hoping for a to not die. Can I ask why you wanted to locate me? I kind of feel that that that's a fair question. I don't know. ah One of my other forms does. OK. One of those things. OK. OK. So I have to sit here and just say your name. Which form? No. no and No, we don't say his name because that could cause an explosion of unstable arcana. Did you not listen to him? I'm really sorry. I hear the bits I want to hear. but Really sorry.
00:33:22
Speaker
eat he's not but He's not very grounded, he's a bit, you know. um Which form is it and how do we speak to him? Well, I'll leave a message that Rains is now in the city and when the form is here, they'll find you. Where are you staying? We're staying at the piss newt. I see. Thank you. I shall leave a note. Thank you.
Strategic Discussions and Plot Points
00:33:42
Speaker
Rains, let's go before you get to have one show. Yeah, I've got a...
00:33:50
Speaker
All right. We'll pick this one up later.
00:33:55
Speaker
Bye. Cheers. Goodbye. And you are sort of without moving slowly forced like a travelator out of the workshop. fucking incredible That was incredible. fucking And we're going to zoom myself out for a second and we find strolling in again, quite densely tourist area, but not typically this isn't there's no there's no environment in in the fenbak district that really caters for this many people they're just here experiencing it we find ourselves in the center of the fenbak district where yubal are sort of taking a stroll at at this conserved piece of draalak history
00:34:42
Speaker
This is a residential district that is characterized by this dense jungle and and lush greenery. There's a collective of Druids here known as the Soul of Styan, who have been cultivating this land for centuries, trying to undo the effects of the desert curse.
00:34:58
Speaker
Before Dralak was a desert, it was a lush jungle and it was it was the Styan Legion and and the war that essentially led to Alido's ascension that cast this kingdom and into sand. This district is home to affluent citizens who want to live in the greenest part of the city.
00:35:21
Speaker
There are various parks, there are various gardens, flowers from all over Erith and from from subterranean Erith and from plains afar all have small croppings and and ah terrariums that are all sort of arranged in this environment.
00:35:41
Speaker
And there is this just thin envelope that borders this entire district that's maintained by about 30, 35 druids, where they're just casting continuous plant growth spells over and over just to try and preserve this one piece of history. Around you in this district are a number of locations.
00:36:06
Speaker
You actually see not far from where you are, the mystic quarter where your colleagues are currently housed. But the thing that's drawing your eyes most of all is ah Fizzle Bang's leash, which sits at the the the sort of um base of this district and A lot of the power that the druids are drawing from seems to be magnified from this huge tower that looks like the tower you encountered in in the desert that is surrounded with this fizzlebang emblemography.
00:36:44
Speaker
And a lot of that power that's being drawn in from that tower is being drawn ah back by the Druids to help that ritual of preserving this landscape, almost like there is some sort of covenant between the Fizalbang, Archaic Empire and what the Druids are trying to do. Anything in particular note you want to do in this district?
00:37:06
Speaker
ah Not necessarily. He wasn't actively seeking out any of the individual places. This was more of a chance for Balter, because he'd heard about this district. Just to experience it. Like you say, this is an area of more greenery than perhaps.
00:37:25
Speaker
anywhere else in Scorchhelm and then to Baal's knowledge, by extension, most of most of Drak itself with it being kind of converted back to the desert. so Most of western Eryth entirely. There are jungles to the east, a round sort of shadowmen. But this biome, you rarely even registered anything that looks like this this environment.
00:37:51
Speaker
And I think what he would do is he would be paying in particular attention to perhaps any of the vegetation or trees that are more sleep guardian in nature. um And if he was to find kind of a few of those, just make his way, literally just make his way over them and sit in the shadow of them and take in the sights and the sounds and the smells um and things like that. His only other intention there um would be to find like You mentioned that it's kind of dense-ish, jungle-ish. If there's an area that he can find that is...
00:38:32
Speaker
secluded enough to plant a seed in, that's what he'd like to do. There are acres and acres ah of gardens that people are strolling through. Amazing. So you could find something quite easily, but what you're searching for is any floral um anything that registers on a floral index native to Sleek Garden, and you're looking for an hour to find like you are amazed by what you're seeing but there is nothing familiar until you spy one giant ancient oak tree one of the biggest trees in this entire district you find it almost at the end of your search and with that sense of of nostalgia and and um comfort sort of fills you
00:39:25
Speaker
And as you're looking at that, you're reminded that you've only ever seen one like that on that scale, on one that size. And that is in the courtyard in the palace in Goldview.
00:39:44
Speaker
that You've seen small trees on a smaller scale, but one that looks as big as this. That's the only place you've seen it.
00:39:57
Speaker
And past that, yeah, you'll find loads of secluded spots where you're passing lots of people who are doing their own sort of um ah holistic rituals, lots of people doing yoga, and lots of people doing breath like deep breathing, lots of people here in solitary sort of um meditation. So finding your own version of that is is really straightforward. Yeah, and and that's what he'll do. He'll find someone that's not on the beaten track per se, um but someone that he knows that he can get to. um And he will once more remove for the second time today another vial within his kind of bandolier that contains a few seeds as well.
00:40:35
Speaker
um and With the ring the newly acquired ring that he has He will kind of cast mold earth and just dig a small kind of patch to basically plant some of these seeds um What I base ah effectively what he's planting it's is's kind of like a like a It's called Emberbark pine. it's It's a plant that is native more specifically to where he grew up um and and with his heritage as well there. So he's he's basically putting a little piece of
00:41:14
Speaker
himself and his history, if you like, into this area. ye see yeah it see He's planting his seed for the second time today. I want to make that joke, but you're having such a tender moment. No, that's the intention. um And I know that the plant growth spell is specifically some big old uh, make things turn absolutely massive, uh, in a very large area. That's not his intention. Um, but anything that, cause he doesn't have Druidcraft as the spell, anything that he can do to kind of help that be as successful a taking, um, for that plant to grow. That's- Make a nature check for me then. Yeah. Okay. Uh, I'm going to roll a real die. That's shit. Uh, that is a terrible seven.
00:42:06
Speaker
So you quite clumsily begin to work the earth here. Your experience of this is just like blanket cover, first aid, as opposed to being a real green thumbed restoration ah druid of of want of a better connotation there.
00:42:25
Speaker
like you're used to saying, let's bring life back, throw a spell at it and and move on. Whereas this is really delicate, intricate work. And as you're clumsily digging using sort of mold earth and and trying to make your you're interrupted after a few minutes by this beautiful blue-haired female wood elf who just politely leans in. Oh, fuck. Yes. Hello. May I ask, are you trying to...
00:42:58
Speaker
damage or are you clumsily trying to care? ah i I'm trying to care I'm trying to add some more greenery to this place which is lovely but as you can see and he kind of points down his hands also the fact that he's using mold earth is a spell but his hands themselves are grubby with him literally like imagine a penguin eating a chocolate ice cream terribly is i'm I'm not green fingered I this It's this part of the whole regrowth cycle that I'm shit at. Are you one of the local druids? You might say. More greenfingered? Quite.
00:43:43
Speaker
Would you be so kind? I have, I don't know if you know it. I have the, uh, well, it's ember bark pine. I was just trying to plant a few seeds to compliment some of the more sleep guardian ah of the trees here. And I fucked it and the hole needed to be a little bit deeper. And, uh, well, you, you, I'm sure you know more than I do, but it's there. It's in there. Can can I leave it in your capable hands?
00:44:12
Speaker
You could. Or is this a money thing? Absolutely not. Or you could learn how to care for the land more carefully and tactfully. A lesson is worth more than gold, wouldn't you agree? Depends on the teaching.
00:44:36
Speaker
My name is Arch Druid Lyra Silvermoon. Fenbark is under my care. And this is a place of education, history and restoration. And I'd sooner see you part here, not a handful of gold lighter, but wiser. ah The mention of Archdruid, Baal's kind of...
00:45:07
Speaker
quick tongue and kind of more hunched shoulders immediately immediately alter into a much more reverent and respectful kind of tone and he kind of catches himself and he looks like ah a schoolboy that's just been told off and he kind of nods, hangs his head and says, I'm sorry, March, Druid, Silvermoon.
00:45:34
Speaker
A lesson would be interesting, but another time, perhaps. This is not a lesson one teaches in a day. Oh, good.
00:45:49
Speaker
Fuck it, why not? ah Sorry, my tongue. ah
00:45:58
Speaker
ah Thank you, Ian. Well, I generally like to think somewhere in the city, Nick is such a right. My sexual acts to me. I'm also imagining Barlin like this, submissive gorilla style, like Han Saliok, head down. I am submissive Q. Archduid. You're the one planting your seed into the ground. The ground, not your anus. um Not today, anyway. Not today. Again. Again.
00:46:26
Speaker
If things turn out how they should, as cryptic as that sounds, then sure, I'll be back. Well, should you wish to learn? Should you wish to reconnect?
00:46:45
Speaker
Should you wish to understand more about the sands? You can find this midday
00:46:57
Speaker
anywhere in the district. We'll come sooner if we sense someone's doing something clumsy with the earth. She gives her just a sly look to this small pile of dirt that you've unearthed. So that's how I can contact you. Just fuck up. Do a really shit job again. Right. Okay. Wonderful. Yes. I didn't catch your name. Ball.
00:47:26
Speaker
It's wonderful to meet you, Baal.
00:47:31
Speaker
Likewise. Ah, it's Druid of Silvermoon. Another time.
00:47:38
Speaker
She nods. She casts her own version of Bald Earth and just cleans up what you did. See, it must be the gesture. and i Like I said, another time. And Bald will turn to return to the pissed Newt. And as you step, like you say, feeling ever so slightly like you've just been told off by a teacher. We've all been told off today.
00:48:01
Speaker
you you You just give a cursory glance to your left and see this changing plume of colour from a workshop. Carry on. And as we focus on that plume, we then see U3, Alpha, Emron and Raines emerging out of the doorway. Is there anything else you'd like to do in the Mystic Quarter in Fenbach while you're here? We have a delivery to me. And where to? To the... I'm sorry, I'm looking at the map trying to remember the place.
00:48:36
Speaker
the arcane emporium yeah thank you yeah i couldn't find it on the thank you yeah i couldn't find it so alpha lead suit there yes having previously visited and i won't necessarily go into robust detail again but you are hiding towards this towering spire that is adorned with runes and sigils in all sorts of tongues collectively between them you recognize some of the language but not everything that's being talked about here You walk inside and it is ah this is where a lot of people have come again. This is another heavy tourist um instance. when When you were here a few days ago after it wasn't this busy, now everyone is getting an eye on this and it's clear to see why. As you walk in, you are in this meadow. It doesn't really look like a room or a building anymore. You're in this meadow that is grass everywhere.
00:49:23
Speaker
flowers, plants, trees, and a line next to them are shelves of goods. And there is this faint choral song that's just being sung.
00:49:35
Speaker
And not that you'd naturally do this, but you say you've covered your ears, you'd hear it just as loudly. It's not being sung physically, it is being to telepathically communicated.
00:49:53
Speaker
but would you like to do? So everyone will look for someone who looks like they work there or is in Some kind of like, but looking like the storekeeper or that kind of equivalent. You wouldn't be looking for too long before Alpha is sort of gestured exactly where they need to go. When you were there last, there was Aurelia Starweaver, who was the proprietor, proprietress of this shop, although it does not really resemble a shop in any fashion. And then she had a series of sort of personal aides that were running around sort of doing the work.
00:50:29
Speaker
And there is a counter where there is someone taking Ledger and it's clear that the drop-off point in Alpha is able to just sort of gesture that out. And you see this this very small, haggard, elderly gnome tending to supplies. Just look up at you. ah Delivery from Clan Shadow Shield. Thank you. You may place it upon the counter there.
00:50:54
Speaker
I'm on places, the delivery he's been asked to leave. And she goes through a couple of notes, finds the delivery note, hands you a receipt. I'll delete that and I'll text it, put it away. I was also told by my colleagues at Clan Chaddishill that we could purchase portions and the like here.
00:51:12
Speaker
Yes, you may. You'll find a list of our inventory up there, and she points to this signpost, not really a signpost, but a notice board above a very long kiosk of lots of different vials. And in there is the shopping list you've already put together. um Do you know how much you'd like to spend on, on ah you've asked for potions of hill giant strength, of growth, of resistance and of healing. So we've gone we've only gone for three of three potion types? Yep. Do you want the numbers of each or not?
00:51:40
Speaker
ah Yes, I'd like to know what you buy. So we've got nine potions of healing. Yep. ah Two potions of hill giant strength. And three potions of growth. It comes with a total of 1,390 gold. Perfect. Will it 400? It's 455 from you, 300 from Callum, and then the rest from me. Great. So you may add that to your infantries. Yep.
00:52:06
Speaker
Is there anything else you wish to hear? There are a series of sort of enchanted armors and weapons. And then we will shop around for enchanted weapons for Nyx. You find, as described to you earlier, you find a series of daggers, one which is emblazoned with crescent moon symbols throughout and is labeled a moon-touched dagger.
00:52:32
Speaker
You have to see a couple of daggers that are expertly made. you'd You'd probably call them a plus one dagger if you were a nerd. And you find a flame-touched dagger. Any of those take your fancy. Yeah, how much for the flame-touched and the moon daggers?
00:52:53
Speaker
ah The moon-touched was 350. and I would like to purchase that range, we'll say. Okay, so you can mark that off. Yours. And the flame touch was 800. Okay. Do they have other weapons here? Like warhammers and that kind of stuff. but Find some warhammers for you, absolutely. Sorry, I should have told you about this. That's okay.
00:53:20
Speaker
Um, without making you look too much like Thor, in stock is a, uh, Warhammer of lightning, a plus one Warhammer and a Warhammer of wounding. Uh, okay. How much is the Warhammer of a wounding? Uh, 2000 gold pieces. thought so Um, the Warhammer of lightning.
00:53:43
Speaker
1500 and the plus one will have a 1000. Excellent. Thank you. Not gonna buy any of those. They're out of my price range. I'll have a look at some of the the armors that are there. Armors? Of course.
00:54:03
Speaker
ah There are three types of armors. There is a
00:54:15
Speaker
an Adamantine, a heavy set of Adamantine armour. There is a studded leather plus one. And there is a scale male Mariner's armour. The Mariner's armour allows you to breathe underwater. The Adamantine protects you against crits. And what was the other thing I just said? The studded leather plus one. The plus one. The studded leather.
00:54:43
Speaker
Yeah, good I'll check the prices on both the adamantine and the mariners. The adamantine is 500 gold pieces, the mariners 1500. Okay, what's the armor class on the adamantine? Good question.
00:55:08
Speaker
It is medium.
00:55:15
Speaker
15. Okay. Fab. And the mariner's one? Is that a standard scale mail? That is a standard scale mail. That adamantium armour is quite impressive. 500 gold pieces, you see. Yes.
00:55:35
Speaker
Alright, never had adamantium armour before. I'll take it. That's right. 500 gold pieces. and sort of levitates off the stand and is is handed to you. what Was it a dagger you wanted as well, Reince? Yeah, I've already bought that. I've already got the up that moon one.
00:55:57
Speaker
yeah
00:56:04
Speaker
If there's anything else? No, we're good. Thank you. I'm glad you do want anything. No, I'm perfectly happy. Thank you very much. Thank you for your custom. Thank you. And as you exit the mystical Emporium,
00:56:19
Speaker
Alfred, let's say the exchange took almost an hour by the time you were taking in what was on offer. You see,
00:56:31
Speaker
tied to the front of the bridge leading back into the um workshop with the changeling your pistol completely fixed okay i will i will pick it up and just examine it it feels lighter or whether you've got stronger the last couple months well last week and a half it's hard to say
00:56:59
Speaker
Do you know the door that was open before? Is it term still open? Has that been shut now? I will merely more of a shout towards the building itself. Thank you. As I take the pistol and that's the yeah walk away. Thank you. That's a And then we find ourselves all amassing as our camera zooms out, GTA 5 style, pops back in.
00:57:27
Speaker
A couple of hours have passed and you're all back at the piss newt. About an hour before you want you to go to the toast. Are you meeting downstairs in the safety or are you meeting upstairs at the bar? In the safety. Okay. Right then, we've got ah various portions. We want them now, we've stored them here while we go to our thing tonight. Do any of them help us tonight? Not really, no. They're more about tomorrow. So we've got nine potions of healings, that means each of us can have two for the tournament. That's good. We've got two potions of ill giant strength. make What makes you ill? No, a hill giant strength. Oh right, sorry, that makes sense, confusing me. And then we've got ah three potions of growth.
00:58:22
Speaker
Which means we can be enlarged. You should have done with that last night. There goes my confidence. Well we figured none of them are useful. Obviously we've got the portion of visibility that might be useful for tonight. I could have done with it last night. It's not a portion of death list, don't worry. Are we all clear on our jobs for tonight? No.
00:58:44
Speaker
Did you not remember our discussion we had yesterday? I can't remember that far back. A lot have happened in that time. Could you just remind me and the listener? So, I believe to plan, now anyone else feel free to chip in if you remember something I don't. Do you not remember? I do. It was only yesterday.
00:59:00
Speaker
Okay, Seth, how about you tell us plan? Right, but I steal a list of names but not steal a But not steal, we're going to get the names and Elfa's going to learn them because his memory is, was perfect towards rain. We're unsure about that now. Great plan, great plan. We're going to use some invisibility.
00:59:18
Speaker
and stealthiness, sneakiness, distraction. Maybe Rains would be distracting, but we haven't really decided on exactly what we're doing. Rains was going to go in as Prince, Rains, Crown Prince. Our plan was we haven't trieded got a plan yet. is that Well, no, our plan was that Rains was going to go into Crown Prince form and hopefully use his high status as Crown Prince to be able to have a conversation with Del Montrese. Meanwhile, our sneaky boy over there, and everyone points towards Nix,
00:59:41
Speaker
is going to be the one to go in there and snaffle said ah list off Delmon Trace, get it to Alpha who can look at it and memorize it and then put it back. Baal, being as he can you know change into various different shapes, might be able to be slightly small and sneaky and help things out. Meanwhile, Rainstalk and Delmon Trace and me and you are in crowd control, potentially doing stuff in the crowd if we need to.
01:00:04
Speaker
And also, the fact that we're doing this now gives us opportunities in the future if we fail, so we don't have to go... fall in The most important thing is we don't get caught. So I'm not doing any talking? No.
01:00:17
Speaker
Phil, I'm being wasted. I mean, what we might have to do is we might have to do a bit of a weapons display if we need to draw the crowd's attention. Like I'll punch you really hard in the gob or something. No, maybe you know you're sure if you're fighting style, you know, a bit of practice sparring. Oh yeah, we could start on one of the other competitors and fight them, didn't we? We could have a punch up, you'll see what happens. Pick that up. What's the name of the guy? Fludd, he'd be up for it, wouldn't he? Fludd would love it. Oh, we could have a stage fight with Fludd, maybe. He's on a Disney.
01:00:46
Speaker
He is on our side, we were told flood would be on our side. So, that is the basic plan. Right, nothing can go wrong. What does everyone else feel? Perfect. Well, so long as he's there, it sounds like a good plan. Yeah, if he's not there, then we can't steal it, can we? Fuck it, we'll just have a good time. um I would still fight flood, though, for fun. Probably worthwhile if he's not there, you know, scouting out the competition. Kill a few of them off, yeah's you know. Should have got some poison so we can make him weaker for tomorrow. Oh, yeah.
01:01:16
Speaker
Wait a minute, that doesn't sound very unique to me. Which actually, no, that sounds like a really good point actually. Maybe don't accept drinks from any of the other competitors. I was gonna say. Or any drinks for that matter. Hmm. Be on your guard. Be careful, I agree. Is anyone really good at detecting poisons and stuff?
01:01:38
Speaker
Rains can purify, can't you? I don't have it prepared, but I do have a spell that will... So it's not prepared, so it doesn't do us anything. I have a detect poison and disease on me.
01:01:50
Speaker
What? Spell? Yeah. Oh, marvellous. Is that ah just on one thing or is it ranged? Do tell us. Let's find out, eh? It's concentration of up to 10 minutes. For the duration you can sense the presence and location of poisons, poisonous creatures and diseases within 30 feet. As useful to know. You will also identify the kind of poison poisonous creature or disease in each case, and the spell can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by one foot of stone, one inch of common metal, and a thin sheet of lid. You can sense disease with that as well. Yep. That's useful for you. What? Oh my God. Yeah, you might want to get yourself checked out. It took you in a while to... Very good. I was reading. I think a dicks would have that as defaults. It's handy it can penetrate as well. The morning after spell. It's part of my pact. It's you not me. That's why it's over there. I didn't choose this. If he is there, if Trace is there, my ability to enhance yours is an hour long.
01:02:57
Speaker
I can cast Enhance Ability. It lasts for one hour. There's no point doing it beforehand. Are you going in as you, or are you going to go in in Wild Tree? No, I'm me. I'm the competitor, aren't I? That's fine. It's just, okay, yeah. Valkon, the walking vlog. So we're going to go in as us, and then obviously if we need to, people can be invisible, go stealthy.
01:03:17
Speaker
Move about freely. Yeah, the trouble is with my spell, it's it's not the most quiet of spells. Can't do it subtly. You could find a restroom to do it in, couldn't you? Takes away in there with you. Yeah, Nix, we could, if you need ability enhancing, go off to the restroom. Sounds like a plan. Okay, we'll be fine. I'm also gonna, I also have enhanced ability prepared and it turns out that I'm not as good with words as perhaps I was about to think I am. I'm not going in the bathroom with you. You're going to ask, friends. Are we before I go on heists? No. I don't understand what's happening. You go on heists? They were talking about sex. And then you brought it up right after, so I um made the assumption that you were off the same thing and I'm just telling you I'm out. I'm nothing against you. You're a lovely looking man, but I'm not interested, you know. I'm an elf, but thanks. Person.
01:04:14
Speaker
Anyway, Seth doesn't see race. I don't see race. Okay, you're saying, toilets are enhancing. I'll also deal with enhanceability to make sure that I can at least come across as charming. A bit more charismatic perhaps. Yeah, come across as charming rather than me. Oh, for you. I'll get you. Okay. So we are enhancing your ability to keep his interest. He's going to fluff himself up. Yeah. So what's his name? Delmonde is interested, like more, you know, he stays interested. And then while you're making Nick's mood subtle,
01:04:43
Speaker
who in stealing things. To take the point, to take the letter. Remember. it Then how do we get the letter, sorry, from, from sneaky boy to very, very obvious metal man. Well, that's why we've got potion invisibility so Alfred can sneak off somewhere. more than that I just send it to him in his thoughts.
01:05:03
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, then we can hide the very obvious metal man somewhere less obvious Well, no, he can be he could be anywhere in the room. We're just gonna just be listening environment He's a competitor. We're all the competitors. We've got to be there in person. There is one other thing alpha Genuinely worried about your your memory cortex Are we good? It's gonna be good a recent memory does not seem to have any issues long-term less so alphasimers
01:05:34
Speaker
Oh, I shouldn't laugh at how fine that is. Well, hopefully Nix... Nix has a good idea of memory as well, so he'll be able to remember as well. Yes. Yeah, I think... I think we'll be fine. It's a list of 13... It's a list of 13 names, remember? Yep, I know. One for each supposed kingdom. We think so.
01:05:53
Speaker
ok Okay. Let's go. greens in the moment Hold on. One other thing. Raines is going to take out the moon, the moon, the moon-handled dagger and is just going to offer it to Nix and is going to go, thanks for helping save the keep. remember Oh, uh, yeah, I asked, I asked you to get a dagger, didn't I? um How much do I owe you? You don't. Thank you for saving the keep.
01:06:19
Speaker
What? You put down money that meant that Goldport Keep was safe. This is me trying to say thank you. Next. Oh. It's yours. Take it. ah Yeah. Awesome. Thanks. Thank you very much. They did have some other daggers you might be interested in when you go shopping. OK. That's good to know. They've got some flame tongue daggers. That does fire damage. It did, didn't it?
01:06:48
Speaker
Thanks, everyone. I feel like I need to mind breach Can can do things with light just get rid of bad darkness and things it's constantly so it's not like a switch on and off It's just is illuminates whenever he's out all the time 15 feet of dim light there we go just when we're in combat back keep that away from me though because I My sword works better in the dark. It's not a euphemism. It's like the yin and the yang. Well, it does. Okay. Thanks, dear friends. It's very dear of you. You're welcome, thank you.
Complications and Tournament Preparations
01:07:28
Speaker
So, is there anything people want to do before they leave their dorm? Are we taking all our gear with us? Or are we just going as us?
01:07:37
Speaker
Well, I'm taking my weapon. Well, I'm going to leave the potions we bought behind. but of Everyone's now got two healing potions. I've given those out. Right, who's talking now? mean This is Wilt. Oh, right. Just reminding you all that you've all got two healing potions around your inventory. Just and regular Wilt. So, we've got enough to mean that there should be two each. So if you've already got two in your inventory, you didn't get any. Sorry, what type? Normal basic healing potions. One, is it 2d4? 1d4. 1d4. Last thing. You're not technically...
01:08:06
Speaker
Well, you enter as a group, don't you? You don't technically enter as a group. Might be worthwhile not lingering next to each other the entire night. Or, like, entering the room as a group? Exactly. Oh, yeah. Well, Rean's gonna get announced, isn't he?
01:08:22
Speaker
tips all at the door. Maybe we all go in first and then, Rains, you go last, because then we can we can clock, we can set us up. Work for me. Well, it'd be like, let's shank this bitch first. Yeah. Yeah, OK. Well, we can find any poison with Nyx before, you know, before we it starts and Rains' entrance is going down. Just to think about, Marota's going to be there. Are you going to be OK about that, Nyx? Yeah. Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I? We have some, don't know whether to tell Rains, we talk about the Marota stuff. Now I'm meant to save it.
01:08:53
Speaker
um I don't think anyone should go in with we should go any information held now as good a time as any. we count When we went to the yeah changeling shop, we encountered a being called Ogremoth. He says who his identity is the person who sent Marota to find reigns in Goldview all those months ago.
01:09:20
Speaker
I don't know that name, other than what Sebastian said earlier. He, basically, we've been told to go back at some point to find out why they were looking for reins, but he said that Marotta's memories have been messed with quite a few times, which is why she's obviously now in the servitude of Prago. That's what I was trying to tell you the other night.
01:09:45
Speaker
Either way, as long as we are. I thought it was just worth us all. Yeah, no. um Thank you. And is as long as we're all on the same page, it's to keep her alive. Then, Savvy. ah like well Why are we keeping her alive? I thought you were winning the competition. Well, we can knock her out and then push her out in the circle so she can't come back in.
01:10:05
Speaker
maybe not falling you know however far it is to her death yeah the point is that we need to do everything we can to if we're going to try and take her out the competition during the tournament is to do so without killing her and then to remove her from the arena so she can't go back in so she survives well we'll learn the rules tonight won't we because that might not even be on the cards let's see what happens but that's hope that was our plan originally yesterday wasn't it sounds good So about the upcoming tournament and the exchange of information that we're all doing, I have been hanging around the docks as of late. Not in an awkward way, not in a weird way. I get that saying that out loud. Sounds weird, but no, just kind of passing through the docks. There's many ships there, I like ships. I came across some information, was asking around and managed to get
01:10:53
Speaker
a hold of an informant, kind of. And there's quite a lot of monsters that they're shipping in, especially for this tournament. I didn't know if it was worthwhile knowing what those sort of monsters are, so I'll just read the list that I've got here. There's goblins, there's dogs with big mouths, there's blobs of jelly, there's big birds, there's basilisks, that one, that one, that one's a big one, wolves, um griffins. That's the lions, yep. ah Green, long-bodied,
01:11:21
Speaker
Big monster with many eyes. Octopus with legs. And octopus. That's like fucking terrifying. Three different animals and fucking flipping hell. Yeah. Yeah. And also.
01:11:37
Speaker
There's a fighter by the name of Rurik Ironforge who seems to be, he's gone in bloodied and would be a threat. So be on your guard out. Do we try to team up with him and then stab him in the back? We should be being told our odds tonight as well. Respect the name is all I'm saying. Our odds are going to be announced today as well. What does that tell us actually though?
01:12:03
Speaker
Tells us I think they believe what I like close to winning is and it's how big the target on your back is So the high I mean if your odds are high Then chances are the other fighters aren't going to want you to win because also we needed to work out Who are we gonna put our money on to win if we want to make money out of this and we're planning on working out who's gonna win We might need to work out who we want to put our money on from our group, if we're going to try and do that. Do we have to put money on? No, but apparently it's a good way of making money back out the tournament. That's true. Someone's like 45 to one, and we put which money on whoever's highest, right? We put them on the lowest. yeah the the The best odds that give us the most profit, yeah I think you're trying to say.
01:12:46
Speaker
also there's a vibe check on just scorch elm itself might be worth knowing about there's quite a large gathering of a crisk around i've heard there's lots on the street really i definitely haven't walked into any of them of course don't use yours that's it good yeah i just thought i'd share that they're not the only group that's gathering lord voson almost in a reaction to this seems to be gathering up units of his own. ahsh I mean we all don't know what that means, but it's worth knowing about. If one person's reacting to a large group that's coming into a city,
01:13:24
Speaker
I don't know. Something to have in mind. With all the people here, it makes sense for them to increase their security. Yeah, they would have done that anyway, though. This seems like it's a reaction to the fact that there are more. This screams civil war to me, lads. I don't like the say of this. I check on the city. Lord Vossen is... I mean, we all know Lord Vossen, especially on the seas. If he's making moves because of chrisquers here in numbers,
01:13:51
Speaker
It's worth bearing in mind. It's ah also worth bearing in mind just to add to Nix's vibe check on the silly that those babyface fuckers that were after Alpha, some of those have appeared in the silly as well well. As far as we know, they've been put down, but they've been present. It's worth knowing who can come back. And it's worth also remembering, vibe check, vibe check, vibe check included,
01:14:12
Speaker
But we don't like the Ubriska very much, remember? Dragon eggs? Hmm? So if anything did happen between the two, I think we know what side we might fall on. I mean, Vossen's no better. away he's not He's not imprisoning dragons and, you know we you know, we have a relative of them and... I mean, we're all agreed, after happens, whoever wins the tournament tomorrow, the dragon egg is the apprise. That's the agreement. Yeah. Thank you. I'd look sooner not get involved in any big geopolitical politics until we've heard from...
01:14:41
Speaker
Says the Prince. Yeah, I know, I know, but we we need to hear from Sebastian. I thought you more than anyone would appreciate that, Seth. I like the sound of war as well, though. Let's go to the party. I just need to go and swap my daggers round in my dorm room. I'll be back in 10 minutes.
01:15:03
Speaker
It's a long time to, I'm not gonna question that. ah Seth's gonna go to the door and stand outside and get some fresh air and wait for everyone else to, it's good that they're ready to go. It is time to go, is it, don't it? Clip, clip, clip, clip, while I get ready to clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip,
01:15:18
Speaker
made coursenus at the ready so went outside with everyone apart from nix is now maybe clean myself kicking their heels out on the dot i in the smartest find there nice i mean a row um' like like think i want i'm worry my normal worth It's worth... Everyone bar nicks while you have 10 minutes to study. Just make perception checks, please. Real nice rule, baby. I keep fucking doing that. Oh, fuck off. Nice, Alpha. Yeah. About fucking done. I got a 15. 15.
01:16:03
Speaker
Six. Six. Six. Six. Nineteen. Thirteen. We've almost got three sixes. Were it not for Alpha? Yes. Fifteen and nineteen nineteen, right? Nineteen. Were it not for Alpha? This observation might not have happened.
01:16:24
Speaker
your You're... You're enjoying Alpha the fact you're wearing something quite elaborate. and you're looking around, you're enjoying the fact some of your friends are as well. You see other competitors heading to the same call that you think you're responding to. Couple of faces, couple of names, you know you picked up from that perfect memory while you were in the proving, armed to the hilt.
01:17:00
Speaker
All right, we're good to go. I believe there are a lot of people going to the same meeting that we are very heavily armed. Maybe we should take all our stuff with us. I think it'd be wise for us to go prepared. Full armour, full weapons. Just in case we don't get to come back and we have to stay there afterwards, maybe. It could quite possibly be that to prevent interference we may need to stay overnight, indeed, at the melee. Well, nine hounds, let's get those potions out, let's get going. Those are the potions, yep. Right, I'm not changing because all my stuff's invisible anyway. Someone should inform Nix.
01:17:33
Speaker
Well, we'll pan over to Nick's. Theoriously polishing his time. In your room. He can do it twice. Nick's seven times. He's going to do it ten times, Jesus. I can. I'm aware that he's given himself a time nip in ten minutes, which is silly. He's running to his room. Danger wanking. Come on, Kevin. It's a very sexy episode. Everyone, can you come here?
01:17:56
Speaker
Mum!
01:18:02
Speaker
He goes over to the Chester Jaws and he takes out an American tube sock. Get the glue by accident. That's a tent. Oh, that's a tent. Like a hot warm apple pie. McDonald's is home made. Anyway.
01:18:24
Speaker
Nick goes into his room very quickly, throws one of his older daggers from the hill straight onto the desk, baring takes the moon dagger from Reigns and puts it into his his left hip. ah Make sure he's got everything. He already had everything anyway. He's got the potions and he closes his door. He wants to go and find Sebastian.
01:18:47
Speaker
So but to do that, he's going to travel down the corridor and go to find anyone if it's the wharf that has been kind of protecting us. Victoria the Goblin. Victoria the Goblin. Or anyone who works with the winged watch. He wants to find where Sebastian is and have a word. So that's what he's doing. He's going to go through or within this time.
01:19:11
Speaker
She's just, if there's someone who works there, he's going to go and question them and and say, you know, he's got some information for Sebastian. The only person who you would reliably know is part of the way you watch is Victoria the Goblin, who stays guard outside the door. You approach? Yeah.
01:19:28
Speaker
Uh, Victoria? yeah Yeah. Great to see that you're not pissing everywhere. ah Do you know where Sebastian is? I've got some information that he needs to hear. No. Great. Any idea where I could find him? Uh, no. I just get told stuff.
01:19:50
Speaker
stand there don't let anyone through right that sort of stuff okay cool is there anyone who would know who's around here appreciate time is of the essence uh i don't know okay who gives you orders lots of different people in cloaks and where do they often give who's Sebastian
01:20:23
Speaker
That's, that's... Oh, nicks. Oh, nicks. You know, it's a funny story. I was drinking last night very heavily and I got talking to someone at the bar called Sebastian. I just wanted to find him again.
01:20:40
Speaker
And because you stand guard over us, I wondered if you'd have picked up on that one, but clearly you did not. So maybe do a little bit better in your job next time. Anyway, I gotta go and get ready for the big um toast thing. And he snaps his fingers, just double finger guns, and and walks out.
01:20:57
Speaker
And Victoria does two flipping of the birds back at you. Do you forget what Sebastian's codename is? Nope. Oops. I just forgot that we weren't calling him Sebastian. Not the first one today. No, I know. I know. I know. Fuck! Okay.
01:21:13
Speaker
Yeah, I've just found my notes that says who's whose code name is. No, i got I've got their code names. But yeah, it's because I didn't write his code name. I wrote Sebastian. Whoops. Me too. So we're heading? Yes. Clip-clop. Clip motherfucking-clop. What's interesting now that the sun is setting is the light in the sky.
01:21:35
Speaker
The object in the sky is far brighter than you've seen it before. It almost doesn't feel like sunset. If it weren't for looking out over the bay and seeing the literal sun setting, you would not think it was that time at all. So much so that the birds are completely out of sync here and you're hearing morning birds now. You're seeing owls and bats move now, but they're
01:22:02
Speaker
the nocturnal cycle of animals is affected quite drastically. Insects aren't out in huge numbers this time as they would normally be. Everything just feels a bit misplaced.
01:22:17
Speaker
meanwhile you're trying to navigate through sunset on the eve of the biggest festival in Eryth where everyone is and everyone's pissed or intoxicated or elsewhere and you're sort of pushing through quite assertively now to get through to the melee.
01:22:36
Speaker
and you arrive at the melee and you're not really sure where to enter from now that the whole thing's been elevated but those obelisks still appear and they still have this blue force sort of field around them apart from one point where this new temporary sort of staircase has been erected. Is that where you're heading? Yeah, everyone's got the invite as well in hand. Like Charlie and the Golden Ticket. Yes. When you get to the foot of those stairs
01:23:03
Speaker
There is a member of the aquisca, there is an orc with blue eyes, and there is an orange-wrapped guardsman, all stood a watch. And you notice before your approach that they've got quite used to just keeping people back and not allowing them entry. And as they see the cluster of you six approaching,
01:23:25
Speaker
they instinctively know that you are supposed to have for permission and they part and let you through. A couple of chances try to dash in with you and this orc lets one single hand out and launches people back into the plaza and you six are granted entry. You ascend this spiral wooden staircase that's been hastily built in the last couple of hours five, six, seven flights. And then you enter your plateau and you walk through this huge Colosseum archway. In front of you is this sort of
01:24:15
Speaker
competitive space that is empty. No one in the the sort of raised seating. There is just some activity in the center of this pit. There is one sort of erected ah huge fire pit and then this wooden structure over it, which seems to sort of operate as a sort of bar. Then there are just a series of about 16 long tables spidering out of this.
01:24:43
Speaker
and various people, no one really talking, eerily silent, are waiting. You take a few steps in, and every head is turned. You count maybe 20 bodies, 20 armed bodies, 21, 22 at best. You see all of the competitors you are competing against as you get closer and closer.
01:25:20
Speaker
What do you do? Is it just competitors? Is there nobody else? Just competitors. There is everyone at at sort of a sorted tables and then this fire pit in the middle, drinks on the on this wooden structure surround, food, and there is one big open document. Otherwise no one is really talking.
01:25:44
Speaker
Baal will just whisper to the side to Nyx and say, if you want that spell, just make your way to the toilets I'll be watching. And Baal's going to leave the group and head away stormly in the, as close as he can to the same ah kind of way that he competed in the trials, where it was very much And it was true at that time, he had a job to do, he was kind of stern and solemn and determined. That's what he's gonna do, he's gonna make his way over to a space, to a table, away from the group. Okay. I'm going to the bathroom now. Barstops.
01:26:30
Speaker
You don't get... I'm not going to the bathroom. Yeah, any impression of where that is, but shut up. It was a friend's reference. Nice. Oh, yes. I got it. Got it. Chandler Bing. I got you bro. Who next? What do people want to do next? Everyone's going towards the document, see what that is. So, the one thing, and there's a few people that have like, in the time that you've been walking over, it took you like two, three minutes to to walk over this vast sort of clay based floor, very flat, very Colosseum-esque to get to the center. And then if you beeline straight with that document, you see the following.
01:27:11
Speaker
The competitor odds and then tomorrow's date. And there is a list of every competitor in there. There are four names with the odds of evens. So that the best odds you can you can really get. The four most favorite and most likely in the bookmakers eyes to win the tournament. The four names at the top are trial 472 with two asterisks.
01:27:39
Speaker
And then you note straight at the bottom of the document, the two asterisks implies blooded.
01:27:47
Speaker
The Valkyrie. Blooded. Rurik Ironforge. Blooded. And then there is one name. There is one name that is also there that is not blooded. Osiris Mightlord.
01:28:08
Speaker
who you know to be Seth. Oh shit, yeah. you've got your encoing there martin And then you scan down, there's a couple other names before there's another name that you see. And then in what you'd call good odds, and this is an ascending order, Nick's Corel, bloodied, Valcon, the walking inferno, blooded, and just reigns.
01:28:36
Speaker
in the in what you call really like really decent odds. And then really down the lower end of the list. A hundred to one can as well. Yeah. Slightly better odds are Alphas, but you are the second bottom name on the list. Yes, put the money on me guys. Just a single line that says James as the lowest ranked competitor. Thought he died. James is going to win. He is dead, the just lob his corpse in. yeah and What are the odds of Emron winning?
01:29:07
Speaker
Is there a numerical order against it? Six hundred to one. Fuck yes. Put the money on me, guys. Every one gold place, you have six hundred and one back up. So you went to go look for that. You've went, so Emron. i' Sorry. Bal, you went to go find your own private space. What did the other four of you do in this time? It is eerily silent. Did you find a seat getting a drink, sir?
01:29:33
Speaker
Yeah, I think this silence is absolutely awful. Isn't it just, this is ah definitely not part of my character, so let's liven this party up, come on. What are you drinking? ah Let's find out what when we get there, what they got. Shocks ideally. Excuse me, sir, what made them... There is no staff, it was just the competitors. And there was just bottles, of ah lots of open liquids. Is it like a bar though? Yeah. Okay, several hops get me over the side and just start like pretending to clean out a glass and be like, hello there stranger, what would you like to drink?
01:30:03
Speaker
And as you say that, I'm going to telepathically talk to you with my awakened mind. You can't speak back, so it's only me. So keep talking. This is what you hear on your head. Keep talking and keep making jokes.
01:30:24
Speaker
ah Oh, something to tell you. And kind of one of those things where I'm going to just tell you everything I know about this subject and you do what you will with it. I hope you don't react irrationally to it, but it's getting to the point with the upcoming tournament and all this movement that's going on that I don't know if I'll get a chance to tell you this again. And I feel like out of everyone, you need to know this the most and this Awakened Mind keeps going, you know? Set size twitches the whole way through this and start Yeah, we've got three different tops of whisky here. Maybe we'll try a... You just make a perception check. We'll try a bit of each. Or a performance, whichever you prefer. It's the same i go performance. ah That is a 12. Okay.
01:31:11
Speaker
And he'll start getting glasses out, looking you dead in the eye, like, missing the glass sometimes. This thing is his eye continues to twitch. He's not drinking. He's just kind of literally, like, moving them around, like, passing them over to you, and you're pushing them back, and it's going through the motions of making it look clean. It's tipping over. I'm actually constantly refilling the same glasses. It's not full. So...
01:31:34
Speaker
The night we met Sparrowhawk slash Sebastian we were all sat there at the table. he He telepathically spoke to me and didn't verbally communicate this with you guys and he made it seem like only I need to know this and it was for something to tell you about.
01:31:54
Speaker
And I've just had these conflicting thoughts over what I've been told because they don't marry up and I'm not sure if there's something big happening within the winged watch. Now I know that you're a part of it and I know that if I was a part of a crew like that and something was going on, I'd want to know. I've tried to just find out as much as I can and it's not going to be a lot. But I need to tell you now, I don't know if there's anything to do with Upcoming Tournament and I don't think you should react to it but I think you should just have it in your mind. Savvy?
01:32:23
Speaker
Let me see what other else we've got down here. And he'll just slightly like nod to you. Okay, cool, cool. So, when we met Sebastian, he telepathically spoke to me and... i didn't understand He feels there's a traitor in the winged watch. He doesn't know who that is.
01:32:44
Speaker
He can't verbally communicate it and he didn't verbally communicate it to anyone else. He just telepathically told me this, which makes me feel like that's a very real thought that he's thinking. And he said, don't tell you until the time is right because he didn't want you to like blow up about it and make a scene.
01:33:05
Speaker
not saying that you would have but I'm just saying like he knew that that news would affect you and I should tell you that in confidence and time has just gone real quickly and then we met Ghostwing and he telepathically spoke to me and said thanks for not telling Seth and my mind just can't get that out of my mind because why would The big boss tell me that when someone as important as the Bastion, his second in command, would would echo worries about a traitor. And why would Ghostwing tell me, thanks for not telling you, because surely you were the one to meant to know the whole time. And i there's a lot of movement going on at the moment. Lord Vossen, like I said, he's he's got an army together of CRISPR. They're growing in in in numbers here as well.
01:34:06
Speaker
i don't know and I just feel like this tournament is I can't I can't get it out of my head that all the things that were placed there for this competition for us to win was done specifically for some members of our party more than others I don't know if this is a big distraction for something big that's to come and I don't know if the wing watch is involved I don't know if there is a traitor in the ring watch I
01:34:32
Speaker
Just, it's your group, clearly your family, and you feel very strongly about it. You deserve to know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It's just gone a bit crazy. I don't think that changes anything that we've got to do right now, right this moment, but maybe something to keep in your mind. and I tried to talk to Sebastian about it because I don't know. I just feel like that was a bit weird. Like Sebastian telling me one thing, Ghostwing saying thanks for not telling him. As if to say thanks for keeping a secret or ah I don't agree what Sebastian was saying so thanks for not stirring it. And I'm not stirring it and I wouldn't have thought more about it if Ghostwing hadn't told me that. It just seems a bit weird.
01:35:14
Speaker
during this whole talk once you mentioned about the traitor and Seth was halfway through pouring a drink and then just how it was a big like optic size bottle of something and he's just good, good, glu look, look, look, look, look at filling it up. And then as he lost track, obviously he just continued to pour the entire thing onto the bar without realizing he's locked eyes when you're listening the entire way intently. And as you finish, he's going to break eye contact, look down, look back up at you.
01:35:42
Speaker
instantly smash the bottle kind of p down on itself. And so it's just like the the top of the bottle sticking out the bar. I'm going to the toilet and he and he walks off before you're able to do that. It's quite bulky.
01:35:58
Speaker
I will punch him. Ork stands. And as he stands, this table almost bounces away from his chest. He just goes up in in a real reactive urgency, marches up to you. And as you begin to walk off, you just feel this huge hand grab your back and yank you back face to face. I was drinking that. Then you were drinking it off the bar.
01:36:32
Speaker
It was in my hand for the last three minutes. Could you explain how you were drinking it when I was balling? There's more drink! He's going to point over to the bar. Mind the bits of glass, it might cut your tongue. I'll cut your tongue, boy! And he goes to throw a punch at you. Okay. There's a 22 here on the glass. Yes, it does.
01:36:58
Speaker
fuck up Take six points of bludgeoning damage square into the face At that moment three of you have yet to suggest what you're doing So you've seen this exchange any of the three of you haven't contributed yet Rains is gonna walk over and he's gonna say
01:37:24
Speaker
That weren't very civilized. I suggest you go back to your drink before I punch you. Too late. I mean, if the... I mean, the rest of the drink is open. Oh, I thought I'd get a chart of response. Sorry, go. Hello. What are you... I don't know at the moment. I honestly have no idea. By all means. Oh, um everyone's gonna go over. Rain has been really civilized. Everyone's gonna grab a bottle and smash the orc over the head. Okay.
01:37:53
Speaker
I'll let Cyrus Mightlord respond first, since he's in immediacy it'll take some time to walk over. Cyrus, have you said too late? What are you gonna do? Cast Shadow Blade and smite him. Go for it. Third level. The sword forms in his hand and I'm gonna swing at the hand that's on my... he's still holding me I assume.
01:38:17
Speaker
yeah I'm swinging, trying and... I punched, he's not holding, sorry, he used the same hand to punch you as he did. so i being but Then his face, or chest, or whatever's the most kind of intensely brutal centre center of area I can hit. Roll for it. With a 22 to hit. That hits. He's going to take 21 points of psychic damage. And then he's going to hold the sword really close under his, do that, and then hold the sword really close under his throat, but no emotion, nothing at all.
01:38:47
Speaker
Punch me again, I dare you. And then I like to think that em everyone... like You doing that stuff? ah So it's the guy on the ground, but he's still stood up. Still stood up. Oh, everyone had got sort of grabbed the bottle and was swinging at the same time. so Okay, roll to your advantage. Thank you. Improvise weapon though.
01:39:03
Speaker
Yes. Reigns, just to give you what's coming over, is about to basically try and say something tough and all of a sudden that wasn't very civilised as far as he got before the blade came out. I figured because everyone wasn't saying anything he was just running in with the bottle smash. It's about halfway through what you're saying. It's no proficiency, isn't it? Correct, unless you're proficient. Let's roll that then. No, it's a four. At advantage. Oh, thank you. Got an ally. Yeah.
01:39:30
Speaker
I guess if you're behind, you're hitting an unarmed foe from behind. It's not really. Very unlikely. That's not very illegal of you, is it? I can definitely not say that right now. I'm going to help you if you want. He'll bank this for later. I can't roll for shit. That's a six. Now here comes the end. So you go and you try and hit him in the back of the head with the bottle. You miss. You actually catch his armored shoulder and it just this mashing of glass echoes around the chamber and then
01:40:00
Speaker
Boom, boom, boom. Three fireworks fill the night sky that almost echo but amplify the crashes you've made. And then you hear the sound. You all hear this very familiar sound. um You all heard it when you were getting involved with a tavern brawl when you were in snake run. Balan, Seth, you heard it when everyone else was speaking to Shandralakkara and it was just you on top of the surface experiencing a hallucinatory moment from the blight. You heard this song.
01:40:32
Speaker
that's the one that um karan cast un right isn't it And it's coming from all around the Coliseum at this point, filling every seat in ruptuous musical cacophony. It's piano, it's drums, it's horns.
01:40:55
Speaker
And then everyone is sort of thunder wave pushed back. I need those of you in this small cluster of brawling, which also is going to include you next because you were close enough. Yeah, I'm right there. Just to make a dexterity saving throw to see whether or not you keep your fitting at this point. Okay. Okay, I've got an 18. 18, thank you. I got a three, I'm rolling for shit. I got a 21. Thank you.
01:41:21
Speaker
I got two. Right. No six. Six. So, ah Emron and Nyx, you are knocked back about 10 feet away from the spray. Not actually the people that were supposed to be knocked back, you were just on the edge. The rest of you are sort of just hit with eight points of thunder damage. Everyone is hit with eight points of thunder put stone damage. You two were knocked back 15 feet. And take the damage. And take the damage. Yeah. Thick!
01:41:50
Speaker
And as this sort of boxing match, wrestling match intro subsides from this music that's filling the stadium and it ah sort of returns to this much more calm and ambient state in steps, a very familiar figure of Prego the majestic. And he just announces, friends, save it for the morning.
01:42:15
Speaker
Welcome competitors. It is good to see you so eager to shut shed blood.
01:42:26
Speaker
Welcome to the toast for the Jewel of the Desert Champions. And as he raises a glass and puts the smallest part of that glass to his lip slightly afterwards,
01:42:46
Speaker
Glass shattered on the floor. nick Seth bleeding from one nostril. This orc... significantly wounded.
01:42:58
