Opening Joke and Podcast Introduction

00:00:00
Speaker
Who was the name of the knight that designed the round table for Arthur? Circumference. Oh, that's the little thing. We're easily amused. Darren is not.
00:00:42
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum Draconis. We are a live play 5e D&D podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of Erith in the Kingdom of Sleepguard. My name is Mark and I am the Dungeon Master. And also with us for this week's episode, we have Danny who plays the half-orc monk, Verota Broken Tusk. Bonjour! We've got Ian who plays the tiefling warlock, Nyx Carell.
00:01:06
Speaker
Hello! Callum, who plays the war-forged artificer Alpha. Hi, adventurers! And we have Will, who plays the human cleric Emrom. You have such lovely nipples here. Thanks, man. Oh, there's a different screen. Did you get your nips?
00:01:21
Speaker
Yeah. No, I just. We were getting the whole show there. Yeah. For you during your intro, I was trying to do a little boob dance for you. And that's why Danny started laughing. No. This is only Ian's now. That's what we're doing. The thing is, since you made fun of me for my openings, I have to then write it down and I have it on a tab and I read it off the tab and. Yeah, I've been a great man. They get me hype. They get me. They give me the energy needed to take off his t-shirt. I was like, yeah.
00:01:48
Speaker
I was yours. It's like a summer house party. Tell me again. Reveal your stories to me. What kind of house party have you been? A very strange upbringing. Tell me again. Reveal your part. What? Reveal your stories to me. Reveal your stories to me. This is a frat party. A genie.
00:02:09
Speaker
It sounded a bit weird. I was just excited by your opening mouth. Well, thank you. Unfortunately, Darren cannot be with us today. Excuse me. And his equestrian club raffle ran over and he's stuck in traffic on the way back. He's had a couple of different things. Each week there's been something that's stopped him from getting here, obviously. And this week he's a very important part in the... But this one's actually true. They were all true. I don't make stuff up.
00:02:37
Speaker
yeah he did say it was no problem though oh god oh god oh it's gonna be a good episode we've already had nudity and dad jokes oh my god
00:02:51
Speaker
That's the main problem right there. That's the main problem. Well, good to see you all anyway guys. Thanks for tuning in everyone and making us a debut. We enjoyed it. That was our one joke.
00:03:11
Speaker
I have meetings at work and a lot of them take place over zoom and shit like that. And I do, I can't help but go at the end of a meeting. Well, thanks for tuning in and making this a part of your, wait, no, you're not those guys. Sorry. You have also ruined the word individually for me as well.
00:03:31
Speaker
I just can't say anyone. If I do, I go individually and people think about me. Hey, let's, let's, let's play some D&D and no better way to start our D&D as heading over to our chief chronicler to let us know what happened on last week's episode of the fellowship of the tabletop.

Recap of Previous Adventure

00:03:49
Speaker
In the last few pages of our adventure, our not-yet-heroes found themselves in a place most unholy. After dealing with the invisible creature in the basement of arms and armour, our party find themselves in some sort of demi-planar maze, a test set by a force known only as the Patron.
00:04:13
Speaker
A test it seems assigned to Nix, who naturally was afflicted by a bout of paralysis, unable to help his not-yet-friends. As the group traversed to the first room, they overcame an ambush of goblins, but only just.

Goblin Ambush and Boat Fire

00:04:31
Speaker
Spent of energy and without the support of rains and orla, the four muster what strength they have left and rout out the goblins, who eventually fled and hid under an overturned wooden boat. Unsure on the outcome, Emron attempts to set a blaze to the boat. What could possibly go wrong? There's a palpable air of sweat.
00:04:57
Speaker
hanging over you all. Dust slowly falls through shafts of light let on by the number of plinths lit in the corners of the room that also lead long shadows across the space you find yourself in. The two sarcophagi, one of a queen, one of a king, stand either side between these four pillars and at the end of the room stands the large plush red ornate throne
00:05:28
Speaker
In the corner nearest to it, we find Emron leaning down, trying to set fire to the boat, upturned small rowing boat in which the goblins ran to hide within.
00:05:44
Speaker
Emron, we're going to start straight away in with you. Just remind us, what are you lighting this on fire with and we're about to you aiming to light it? So, Emron went over and got the torches or the chandelier. I assume it's just a torch with rags and whatever sort of combustion on it. So, he's got that and he sort of lifted the edge of the boat and is shoving it almost underneath just to try and smoke them out and or set fire to the boat.
00:06:14
Speaker
But he's a bit annoyed by the fire of the torch that he's reflecting in his eyes as he does this.
00:06:22
Speaker
Okay, lovely. And while that's taking place, obviously it takes a while for the smoke to build up or for the boat to set to start smoking and to come on fire, be lit by fire, lit on fire. God, English words, not good. What are the rest of you, are the rest of you wanting to do anything else? Nix, obviously you just come into one of your first warlock capacities and being able to use Eldritch Blast. Is there anything the other three of you wish to do whilst Enron is fire blazing on this

Nyx's God Declaration and Ghostly Warning

00:06:51
Speaker
upturned boat?
00:06:52
Speaker
Nix is just looking down at both hands, kind of open, they're spread open, and he's just, I am a god now! Wow! Wow, this is what it feels like to have power! Wow! Mirota's gonna, as you're doing that and you're outstretching all of your fingertips, Mirota's gonna go and twist your wrist quite aggressive.
00:07:17
Speaker
Right. We seem to be here for you. So if you could stop with the whole, like taking a nap. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. Point taken point taken, but you don't, you can let go of my heart. Thank you. Oh, cool. Okay. So I had power for a moment. Um, yeah. Sorry. I don't know what happened there. I couldn't move. That wasn't me.
00:07:46
Speaker
just not doing anything for a change that was that was I don't know I went to high five that old man back there and I couldn't move and I saw holy shit I saw a lot of weird shit I hmm me too you too okay huh do you think that's a a premonition
00:08:09
Speaker
Past? Dreams? I don't know, but maybe we shouldn't touch him anymore. Yeah, no high fives for that, man. Alpha? Yeah. Alpha? Yes? Could you do me a solid? I'm afraid I don't understand that question. What is doing me a solid? Would you mind doing me a favor? Oh, what is it you require? Stop shooting that thing in my ear.
00:08:41
Speaker
It's loud as fuck me. It's fuck normally very loud. It's how I like to measure noise. Oh, and this is loud to you.
00:08:56
Speaker
That thing, yes. Oh, my apologies. I was not intended to cause you any distraction or distress. It's merely to dispense with the evildoers. I'm sure you don't know what regular ears need to function, but that's definitely loud. I shall keep it in consideration in the future. Maybe put like a- Not to set this off near your head. Put like a towel over it or something. You wish me to dampen the noise?
00:09:25
Speaker
Yes, that would be preferable, please. I will see what I can construct. Thank you. Mark. Hello.
00:09:37
Speaker
On our map, this beautifully created map on our screen, you've got the boat in the lower name drop, lower right part of the screen, and that's the boat that M1 is trying to go or take that on. That kind of red, is that a red coffin? That's right next to it. That is the roof. It's like a mini
00:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's like a little kind of shade that sits above a throne to give it more obviously because it's a bird's eye view. We can't really see the throne underneath it. But yeah, the red thing is where the throne is underneath.
00:10:15
Speaker
Can I investigate that throne to see if there's any kind of gold surrounding it or ornaments on it that's worth anything? Or on some thrones out there, there's a little hidden compartment underneath it which contains some sort of valuables or anything like that. Yeah, absolutely. Give me an investigation check, please. Thank you. Will do. How is a nine?
00:10:43
Speaker
You have a good look around and you can see a studded set of works around the edges of the throne leading down the two arms of it. You also look around the overall design of it. It's plush in color but not so much in the ornate gold and things like that. It looks more like this is where a leader would take visitors.
00:11:08
Speaker
of a more convivial type rather than like, this is the throne of the king or the queen, something that's very...
00:11:16
Speaker
Obviously, for show, this is not for show, this looks more for comfort, like it's been used to actually rule rather than to look like one is ruling, if that makes sense. So it's less flashy, more practical. But still, the plushness comes out of the colour that's being used for you, that gorgeous kind of velvety red. Okay, well, after finding that, Nyx, which is kind of cast a glance over to everyone who's the right of him. Everyone, how's it? How's it going?
00:11:48
Speaker
Well, before you jump in, because obviously that's quite a bit of conversation now. While waiting for you to... You'd have been there burning away like, come on, come on. Well, if it's not going to take, I'm going to wait for a bit. If the smoke comes out from underneath it, then I'm going to try and flip the boat. Obviously, I'm going to try and smoke the goblins out. Okay. Because about three of them went under there, or was it three, two? That's right, three went under, yeah. One was injured, two others went under.
00:12:12
Speaker
As you put the the torch underneath you start holding it there for a while and you do hear a scuffling at first, a little skiffling, the noise of like little kind of feet seem to be moving around then it all stops. The corner of the boat embers do start to build on, it seems to catch on some loose fibers of the edge of the boat where your flame starts to lick very slowly up and turn hot to touch around that area. But then something strange happens
00:12:40
Speaker
you feel the end, the torch end, the hot burning end of the torch, something tugs your arm in towards it. Not a lot, but just to tug in once. And you think maybe this could be one of the goblins or anything like that. And then you feel another one. Is there anything you'd like to do at this point? Yeah, I'd like to flip the boat. Okay. Can you give me a strength check, please?
00:13:07
Speaker
What, as in athletics? Yeah, sorry, athletics check. Athletics check, please. Could I help? Oh. Yeah, you can do so. If you're going to be aiding. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'll let. I think it was a plus. No, he's got a role. Sorry, I rolled prematurely. I apologise. I rolled a four with the help. OK, so is that a four athletics? Yeah.
00:13:37
Speaker
Okay, so, right, now will you roll? Sorry. I was pretty much roll. I'm apologizing. I got a 12. Okay, so you get a 10 because a four to six is a minus two. Check, that's a 10. Luckily, it is a 10. It's not a big bow. It's not particularly heavy. So, Moroti, you come up to the,
00:14:02
Speaker
the end of the ship, end of the boat, the kind of the tightest moment of it. And you try and lift it up on your own to begin with. There's everyone you've realized what's happening, and you go to lift it as well. Mirosa, your hand goes a bit close to the hot area of the ship's boat, the hull.
00:14:17
Speaker
you pull your hand away, you just take one point of fire damage to yourself and you kind of let go and when you manage to take the weight, your hand's in the right position and you flip, you send the boat flying back into the wall and what stood there within the space, it doesn't seem to make sense because in that time, there's no way anyone could have physically stood up in time, is a man
00:14:39
Speaker
that stood quite tall, beard, strong looking, really intense eyes staring back at you, Emron. And he looks at you for a second and then his eyes flip over, over your shoulder to Nyx and then back to you. And this figure very quietly looks at you and just says, he needs to be stopped. What happens? He needs to be stopped. Who does? And he nods towards Nyx.
00:15:10
Speaker
Next, friend of yours. Nick, what are you doing? Stop it. I'm not doing anything good, sir. Come say hello. Come and say hello, but don't touch him. Right, OK, so many rules here. Hello, I'm Nick Corral at your service, though you appear to already know me and telling me that I need to be stopped.
00:15:32
Speaker
From what? From doing what? And as you come round the shoulder of everyone who's probably blocking your view, you see the spit of your captain. Holy shit! Oh my god! You're here! What's the form? Is it like a ghostly form? How corporeal? Looks for all intents and purposes real.
00:15:56
Speaker
Uh, uh, next one dropped to one knee and, and just kind of, captain. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:16:05
Speaker
I'm here. What do you need from me? As you drop to one knee, he flinches and shifts back, looking smaller and less strong than the captain you know and love. As you move quickly, almost like a stray dog would flinch to someone going to scratch their head, he flinches back from you. He doesn't say- Hail to God.
00:16:32
Speaker
Captain Hildegard, is it really you? Oh yeah, it is me. What do you think you're doing down here? What are you doing down here? These questions are not for me, son. He turns back to Emron. He needs to be stopped. He can't help this.
00:17:02
Speaker
What? You mean the power that he's trying to get? He needs to be stopped. And he slowly kind of backs away into the kind of wall behind him and just disappears from view. So that's your pal? No, no, that's not my captain. That's got to be some sort of weird ghostly fucking mirage thing. My captain's strong.
00:17:30
Speaker
and taller and better looking. Sorry, he did look as well slightly older than you. And a lot younger. Bags under the eyes, etc. So much more better looking. We have no idea whether this is part of the test, whether it's trying to test you or... Why would your captain say you need to be stopped, Nix? Honestly, I don't know. That's clearly not my captain and I'm confused just like you guys.
00:18:01
Speaker
Well something's playing with us here your old man me your old man ain't come back so I

Exploration of Throne and Shrine Rooms

00:18:08
Speaker
assume We've still got out to do round here Can I take a look around the rest of the room mark and investigate search the rooms if there's anything else of interest a side shield on the wall anything like that, you know aside from the
00:18:28
Speaker
two sarcophagi, the four pillars, the two...
00:18:32
Speaker
a suits of armor behind the door that you entered, the throne itself, and now this upturned boat and the number of plinths and torches and chandeliers around the edge of the space. Everything else seems relatively bereft. What you also notice, though, just from walking around and taking the room in, is there's no dust that lands anywhere. There's dust in the air, but there's no kind of, you'd expect this as an unused room. Dust grows where there is no one cleaning it and looking after it. That's the way it works.
00:19:01
Speaker
This room is clean of dust. Totally clean of dust. I'll go with the suits of armour. Can I assess them at all? Yeah, give me an investigation check with advantage. As you are quite the blacksmith. That's a 16. These suits of armour aren't designed for humans.
00:19:30
Speaker
They're designed for something more athletic, wider, a gap for a tail. The helm is larger and longer protruding outward from the face. We would fit a human face, there'd be a lot of spare space in it. Cool. Is there any indication of how old they are?
00:19:57
Speaker
Again, normally you'd go off dust, but everything seems so well preserved in here. Either you've entered the space where it is currently almost in use, or there is something else controlling an element of time here. And, okay. Well, there doesn't seem to be out left in here.
00:20:22
Speaker
yeah i mean unless uh i'm surprised you haven't tried to sit on the floor i'm not gonna lie nyx well that was going to be my next thing to do you're getting to know me too well everyone but then you know
00:20:34
Speaker
Fucking fake captain showed up It's not to do such a thing. We've already seen the repercussions of what touching things can do in this If I want to sit on a throne, I will sit on a throne alpha I don't know like you reigns your friend has many an opportunity to do such things that has never been a part of my life I've barely even seen a throne so
00:20:55
Speaker
But I'm a bit, let's just be protrude with what's just happened. So maybe we should move on from this room. I feel we should be cautious. I'm not going to lie. I mean, during that fight, there were there were moments where this room feels wrong.
00:21:15
Speaker
Not just like, I know, I know, like, you know, grass on corridor outside and with everything, it looks wrong, but there was something, something within me that, that told me that what we're seeing here isn't in everything or isn't, isn't wholly true, if you know what I mean. Well, I second that, that's not my captain. It is a test, remember, Nix?
00:21:40
Speaker
But I've got my powers. I don't understand what the test is for. Maybe it's more on your decisions. Perhaps it's more instinctual. Maybe we're overthinking things.
00:21:54
Speaker
Maybe let's just move on. There is one thing I'd like to do just before, because I've already taken one helm off one suit of armour. I'm going to just, and Nyx will reach over, walk across the room and reach down one of those helms and put it up. I'll pass it down for him because it's probably a bit taller than him. Thank you. Yep. And if it's large, even on your head with your horns.
00:22:18
Speaker
Is this the thing? Wherever we go, you're just going to try on new hats.
00:22:26
Speaker
I have a thing for hats. I don't know if you might know this about... I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I like that you have a thing. It makes you stand out from the ground. It's not just my thing. It's like the whole ship's thing. It's, you know, you can have a better hat. So you all like to try on different hats. When you go scavenging some places, one person's got a hat with a feather in it and he suddenly becomes like Mr. Awesome for a day. I'm just trying to find something different. You sailors live a really exciting life.
00:22:55
Speaker
Pirate is what we call ourselves sailors is what the dirty lads call themselves. All right, let's just make some your distinction there Well, we're not sailors I see Performers as well pirate performers. All right. I don't think you've used the p-word until now. No sounds a bit hmm, what kind of piracy do you get up to I
00:23:19
Speaker
Let's go to the other room. And then, no doubt, we can talk along the way. Marotta, do we want to just check out these sarcophagi? I know Nick's close. Absolutely fucking not. Well, I'm just... I'm not one with a disturbing grave. Well, I mean, the one that the goblins were getting out of. We want to make sure that... I'd close it. Don't open it. Shut the door. But what if we leave this room and they lift the lid off? Swaps in. Then they can go and live their life.
00:23:48
Speaker
Okay, fine. There is a dark side to you, isn't there, Imran? Are you reaching down? I just want to make sure that we're not going to get more goblins coming out of... A serious question. Have you never met a goblin who you didn't want to kill?
00:24:08
Speaker
Have you only had goblins? No, no, these goblins attacked us. So that's why I'm just making sure. What if those that live further down in the esophagus, they're good ones? Well, that's fine. They can be themselves. So let's just leave them be. The good is bad, you know? Oh, OK. You know.
00:24:26
Speaker
Call me curious. I was a bit curious about what was going on down there, but you know. If you really want to go goblin diving, we can go goblin diving. Hang on, that has different connotations in Shadow Men, I don't know.
00:24:40
Speaker
I mean, if you want to talk about goblin diving, talk to Reins. I would love to, but I bet he's got a tool for it as well. He did not join us on this test. All right. Well, speaking of tests, shall we? Everyone will turn to Nick's. Well, come on, then it's your test. Lead on. I follow me, me hearties. You can stop that right now. I quite like the accent.
00:25:07
Speaker
I just want to know. It's just something that I just go. Yeah, OK. And with the big helmet, just kind of wobbling to and throw in the head, next exit the door, walk down the corridor, staying away from any ghostly figure that might be there.
00:25:28
Speaker
There is no figure of the old man, Fairlight, that was there. Fairlight, he has gone away. As you come out the door, you look to your right, which is the entrance you came along, and the void of nothingness that is beyond it. Turning to your left, you do look down, and in the corner, you see an ash and colored, an autumnal colored bush in the corner of this green, almost meadow-esque,
00:25:53
Speaker
garden carpeted grass roots that seems to smell of dew and honeysuckle yet there's an air of something more ominous underneath it. Smells amazing apart from the onerous smell don't like that but the honey dew and suckles been a long time since I've smelt such a in fact I'm going to take one of these leaves and Nick's will reach up and take a leaf off the tree.
00:26:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to follow suit, Mark. Could I make a nature check to ascertain if this is an illusion or if this is genuine flora? Absolutely. Or fauna. Yeah, give me a nature check, please. First nature check of the game.
00:26:32
Speaker
Well, not a good one, it's a three. Yeah, you're pretty certain this is there to leaf and you are on grass and it feels pretty, it smells real, gives all those feels that you would know of, I mean, your limited knowledge of what this kind of stuff is like given the state of Drolak and the dryness of it all. Yeah, total realness, 100%. Okay.
00:26:58
Speaker
If I sort of scrape back the tip or sort of like prod down with like a sort of kitchen knife from the pack, does my knife hit stone at any point underneath the grass? Does it just keep going? Don't you pick the kitchen knife up? No, I get your idea. And yeah, it keeps going. I've got in my bed roll pack and just found something that's just, let's poke into the...
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah, it just goes down like it would go into soil deeper and deeper. It's not like a thin layer and then there's stone or something underneath it. Like it hasn't grown over stone. As far as you put this item in, let's say you go a foot down, it still continues to push down into the soil. It feels fertile. As you pull it out, it's moist, it's warm, it's lichen, it's good ground. You know some farmers would love to till that.
00:27:45
Speaker
clean my knife on the dew and then put it back. Excellent. As we're walking, sorry. No, no. As you're walking south down the corridor, there is a distinct wall in front of you with a left turn. Are we heading around that corner just so I can free you up our line of sight? Yes, if that's the only way to go. That is the only way to go. The wall is real.
00:28:12
Speaker
and more of the same you seem to have a wall that you seem to follow the wall of the throne room that you were just in the first thing you notice though quite soon about 10 feet after you turn left is on your right there is a large ornate portcullis no door leading through into another room
00:28:31
Speaker
you can see into that room and what you see in front of you is almost like a shrine room there seems to be a shrine room yet at the head of it where one would normally have the symbol or deity that one is adorning and believing in and praying to there is a giant statue of the skeleton of a dragon
00:28:54
Speaker
It looks slightly deformed, but one of the wings seems to have grown inwards and the other one is outstretched wide, but just the bone structure of it. The face and the head is slightly stumped forward compared to like the stereotypical dragon you would normally see. Its feet are big, but its toes are a bit curled over and small as it kind of grips a hold of the stone plinth that has four candles that are lit on the corner of it.
00:29:22
Speaker
There are two pews sat side by side in front of you facing towards this. On the right there is a basin, a large basin of water and next to this giant skeletal dragon is what looks like a small plinth with a book open on the page of it.
00:29:39
Speaker
It's low lighting. Shafts of light come in through the window, yet looking at the window, you can see nothing out, yet light is coming in, leaving shafts across the water, which this basin of water sits in front of. The ground is back to kind of polished stone that are set into quick marks of squares around the space. The dark shadows in the corners of the room. What would you like to do?
00:30:08
Speaker
uh i found a thing it looks like a dragon come have a look did you say there was a portcullis across the entrance why is it closed was it open open yes you can see all that just as you come around the corner your line of sight opens up to this uh your test nyx what would you like to do i think alpha's trying to talk
00:30:38
Speaker
I think Alfa is almost mesmerised by the book. He probably sees it as an adventure book almost kind of thing. He's probably just going to casually walk in, not thinking anything about it. Oh my, a book! And start making his way over towards the book. Nah, let him do it. He's not human. So you're going to let Marauder do things because she's not human as well?
00:31:05
Speaker
Yeah, but he's not flesh and blood. Like, what's the worst that can happen to your robot? Quite a lot. Thank you very much. How? Put a lot of effort into him. Sure, you could fix him. While that conversation is going off, I am still just walking. Alpha, alpha. Let's just think about this. This is some kind of ugly world. Let's not be meddling with the books that, you know, might not be right.
00:31:36
Speaker
Do you not mean read an alpha? Do you not mean read, Father? I don't mean to say that. No, no, read's a good thing. I'm going to pause for a brief moment and just look at Emron.
00:31:56
Speaker
but then his eyes are just gonna get drawn down to the book. He's not gonna touch it, but he's gonna see if there's anything he can just read. Is it open or is it still shut? It's open and scrawled across, scrawled across in common, scrawled across from bottom left corner of the left page to top right corner of the right page. So across the spread of them. It's probably like two A4 pieces of paper side by side. That's how big this kind of book is, a thick weighty tone. And it just says across it,
00:32:24
Speaker
Aries, Gulos, Gloth. Sorry, I pronounced that wrong. It's my own thing. I don't know why I pronounced it wrong. Aries, Gulos, Goth. The next of my kin. Find the Shamal. Say it again, just in case anyone wants to write that down. Aries, Gulos, Goth. The next of my kin. Find the Shamal. S-H-A-M-A-L.
00:32:53
Speaker
So after reading that out, we'll make it look up and... Has anybody ever heard of a Shamal? No? I think I met a Shamal once. It appears to be an instruction manual. Well, read it out loud for those of us who haven't read it. It says, Eiril gurash goth, the next of my kin find the Shamal.
00:33:20
Speaker
I love it. I love it. Don't let him read it and then make him read it aloud, everyone. Like, what? What? Well, you know, it's a fair point.
00:33:36
Speaker
Oh, is there anything in this room that's worth stealing? I'm going to have a look around it and just just see if there's anything worth having in here. Drink the water basin. I will be flitting through the book just seeing if there's anything else. I'm not thirsty. It's not salty enough for me.
00:33:53
Speaker
As you go to flip through the rest of the book, you realize this book is an illusion. As you try and grab it, your hand kind of passes through it and you feel the plinth beneath your hand as you touch it. It's almost like a projection onto the plinth itself. And you then realize that. So looking at it, it's quite a clever projection. It's quite a clever illusion. Yet the illusion remains, but your hands kind of move through it.
00:34:17
Speaker
Yeah, Alfred's probably going to spend the next minute or two looking around the plinth because he's going to interpret this as some kind of contraption that's making this allusion happen. So he's trying to figure out how it actually works. I don't think he'll find anything, but that's what I'll be doing. Give me an investigation check. If he's looking for it, we'll run an investigation check. Well, yeah, yeah, by all means. 21.
00:34:40
Speaker
Bloody hell. As you knock through the wood, you realize it is a set panel wood plinth. You manage to, as you knock around it, realize there's no rattle, there's no noise of contraption. It's the weight of just wood would be. And you can discern from that that it is not the plinth that causes the illusion. It must be something else, something external from it. It is not the item that, it's not the contraption that makes it happen.
00:35:07
Speaker
Okay. That's going to be kind of disappointing for him, but fair enough. No worries. Ian, sorry. Nix, would you might want to do an investigation check to see if there's anything worth nicking? Yes, please. I got a three. Okay. You don't notice much in the room, even if you're furtively looking around, except for one thing, and it's very obvious, so I can tell you this, that I did mention in the opening. In the central forehead above the snout, the pushed back snout of this dragon is a gem.
00:35:37
Speaker
Awesome. Hey, any chance you can either lift me up or Alpha, can I get on your shoulders? There's just this, this gem that's stuck in. I'm guessing I'm not tall enough to reach up and get it without talking. It's about 20 feet in the air. So even if it's when I was your shoulders, wow. It's a vaulted room. Yeah. Next. Next.
00:36:01
Speaker
Yes. Remember, you're being tested, so maybe not doing the most obvious thing is the best approach. Usually, I'd agree with you. Like, in most adventures that we've had, I always agree with you. I'm sure you can agree on that. However, this is a big gem. Look at it. Look at this. Like, if this test was to find the treasure and I didn't walk away with the treasure, then I would have failed. We don't know what the test is. I may as well walk away with something of worth. This test is for you to find the treasure.
00:36:32
Speaker
What we, if the test is for me to find my powers. No, no, if that's how you think you need to proceed, then sure. If it's about finding the treasure, then we have an objective, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we, we get, I get something out of this. I mean, look at it. Look at the treasure there. The gem is beautiful. How do I go about getting it though? Like.
00:36:59
Speaker
Everyone. I'll give you a booster. I'll take the booster. I assume like a leg up position. I mean, I'm agreeing with the marauder that looting wherever this place is might not be the smartest one. You could turn the
00:37:24
Speaker
benches here on their ends and that'll give you a reasonable foundation you could climb up on there and then that'll give you a boost up just you know what you know what i'm going to show you guys something special okay and then nix is going to try and climb up the dragon starting with the claw

Nyx's Acid Injury and Test Failure

00:37:43
Speaker
and then work its way up to the ribs, which you'll use like a ladder, and then up the neck, he'll shimmy like a gibbon up there, and then eventually get to the gem. Now, what do you need me? That's how it looks in my head. What do you need me to roll for this? I need you to roll. It's going to be two separate, or an athletics check, then an acrobatics check.
00:38:08
Speaker
Okay. Wait, let me write down an increasingly hard number for you to hit with that. And a con saving throw for disintegration. One second and that's cool. Yes. Okay, right. Off you go then Ian. Give me your, we'll go with athletics first and then when we get high and we're doing some gibbon hanging, then we can do acrobatics, okay?
00:38:33
Speaker
18. Fuck, yeah. Yep, that passes the first one, absolutely. So you kind of managed to hook yourself up onto the stone plinth, pull yourself up the leg and kind of pull yourself up onto its kind of thigh bone and up and up and towards the ribs, which you kind of get a good hold into. Next is an acrobatics check, please, to move yourself along and up to the head of this. See, really, all it takes is just a little bit of athleticism, a little bit of light footwork. And that's a 15.
00:39:03
Speaker
Yeah, okay, that meets. I really want you to fall. Yeah, me too, actually. You know, everyone shimmy yourself up. And so you, I mean, in my eyes, you've popped yourself like you're getting a, you're being on the shoulders of the dragon. Like you put your legs either side of its head so that you can get a good, a good reach round, a good reach round to the gem implanted in its skull.
00:39:28
Speaker
So I reach around to the gym and I grasp it in my hand. Is it coming away with a pull or a tug or is it stuck steadfast on there? Give me a
00:39:45
Speaker
I'm like a boo in Aladdin. It's, it's, it's, it's pretty well stuck in there, but give me a slight of hand check. See if you can kind of shimmy out using your fingers too. I could, uh, well, if it was stuck in there, uh, Nick's would lean back a little, take one of his daggers out the sheaves and kind of use the tip of the blade to try and prize it open. Yes. Like on the jillily in the mummy, when he tries to take all those things out and they turn into scorpions. Yes. Yep.
00:40:12
Speaker
I guess, man, what fucking movie? I love that film. That's a movie, right? Brendan Fraser is just an absolute machine. Anyway, sorry. Yes, absolutely. That's absolutely fine. You got created a role for that.
00:40:27
Speaker
No, I think you just thought it was a slight amount of attack. In all fairness, I'd say slight of hand with advantage, personally, I'm just saying. We'll go slight of hand. I would go advantage, but you're in a weird position, so we'll just do it regular. Regular sucks at an 8. Okay, you don't manage to prize it out. You pull, pull, pull, and the blade is bending, bending, bending, but it doesn't seem to move, unfortunately.
00:40:54
Speaker
Okay, undeterred by this. Nixle, sheath, the dagger, lean back a little, close his eyes and try and reenact what he did in the throne room. And his horns will start glowing purple as energy curses down his body and he juts out one hand at the back of the skull and goes, Eldritch Blast! And forced energy comes out. Oh my God. The head of the dragon explodes.
00:41:26
Speaker
and bone shards fly down onto the floor and before you ask Callum, no you cannot pick up the bone shards and use them for a ridiculous spell again. I don't have that. Do we take shrapnel damage? They all, no, fall to the ground and still sitting atop of the shoulders of now headless dragon is your friend and confidant, Nyx. Somewhere on the ground probably will be the
00:41:53
Speaker
the gem you're looking for now, yes. Don't use the word friend. Confidant is fine, but friend's a bit of a stretch. Acquaintance. Coworker. See? Easy. Once you have the tools, and Nix is trying to make his way down now. When he gets to the top part of the thigh, he's going to jump and do a flip and land in front of everyone. Three point hero landing. Athletic check, please.
00:42:21
Speaker
Oh, no, acrobatics. Acrobatics. That's definitely acrobatic. Oops. Oh, shit. Six.
00:42:32
Speaker
I mean, you don't stick the landing, your leg slips out, you can do your flip. I'm not gonna, you know, yeah, you slip a little bit. It's not graceful and you bruise your knuckles trying to do your proper Superman landing. It's not half as graceful as you want it to be at all. I'm just looking for the gem as Nick's hands is on the floor. Just kind of spread eagle. Just looking for the gem. That's all. That's all I'm doing. All right. Do you want to roll investigation while you're
00:43:02
Speaker
Blowing up, fuck my deity. Seven, man! I can't find the red gem. It was, I didn't actually say what colour it was. I thought you said Ruby. No, she said gem. Oh, my bad. I think you might have got Ruby just picturing Aladdin. Aladdin, I think, yeah. Might be. Touch only the lump.
00:43:32
Speaker
Anyone find this gem? M1's going to turn to Marotta. Does he do this often? Is this a recurring thing for him? Yeah, we find the gem. This is your test, Nix. And I'll turn back to M1. Alpha. No, I mean, like I said, I don't really know him. So this could be it. Alpha, make sure you put this in your memory bank. I'm sure he'll want to relive this moment that he was crawling on the floor looking for a little gem.
00:43:58
Speaker
Yes i don't mind we live in the moment as long as we find the gem i don't wanna see it in a memory later. There is no way it's your test. You're one for this sort of thing come on solid with your super human eyes robot eyes whatever they are there's got to be some sort of thing you can do here to help me find it maybe i can locate this damn thing i don't know what you got.
00:44:21
Speaker
Alpha is just going to be recording the memory for a brief moment and then he's going to look at Marota and turn back to Nick and go, I do believe this is your test. Oh, for God's sake. Of all people to look up to, Marota is not the one to choose. Excuse me.
00:44:40
Speaker
Sorry, I didn't mean that. I'm just trying to find the gem, that sort. Are you crawling around on the floor looking through it? Like proper hands? As I'm talking, yeah. I'm picking up bone shards and just throwing them back down when I don't find them as a gem. Literally, hands and knee styles. All finesse is gone. I suppose it could be worse. I wasn't going to allow part of me was expecting the skeleton to come alive and
00:45:05
Speaker
We can't now, I made sure of that. You're welcome. And as you're doing that, I imagine that, Nix, you're kind of looking around the two pews that are kind of set facing the now headless dragon. You're always going to do that every time. You're going to fucking do that. And where this basin of water is, I imagine it's almost like a crystalline basin, bigger, larger, ornate, white marble. As you're around there, suddenly it sounds like Alpha's gun goes off, but it doesn't come from Alpha's gun. It comes from the base of this basin.
00:45:34
Speaker
and the basin instantly tips over. But instead of what looks like water first flowing out towards you quickly turns into a burning broiling pool of acid. Next, make a dexterity saving throw, please. And I like this test.
00:45:56
Speaker
19 okay, you managed to definitely roll out of the way But you do take an amount of splash damage who from that nine points of acid damage As you managed to squiggle squiggle yourself out, but this rolls up your leg you're dying amazing up your legs and onto your head burning your skin slightly and I
00:46:24
Speaker
You're down, down, down, down. I'm making fucking death saves, man. And the pain that you feel from that and the- Splash! Your breath starts to, you start to hyperventilate through the pain. You pass, you're unconscious.
00:46:40
Speaker
Rest of you, you managed to see, you're far enough away from my imagination. I don't imagine anyone's walked very far in or Morota's walked far in. Althea, you're the other side of the room, so you're miles away. You guys are fine. You're clear of the kind of blast radius of this thing. Can I just add in a little tiny bit of flavour before I passed out? Yeah, sorry, go ahead, of course. Morota, in your head, you'd hear me screaming internally and the words just like, no, no, no, no, no, fuck! Just in your head, as loud as possible.
00:47:10
Speaker
No one else would hear that thing.
00:47:13
Speaker
I'm just going to let out a sigh. Presumably, then, audibly, we all hear silence and just watch you sizzle a little bit. Now, I'm screaming, but in your head, it's like something... It's more of an earpiece, and you can hear it again in the ear, that kind of thing. But I'm just going to drag the soon-to-be corpse of you out of the waterway, and I'm just going to, like,
00:47:54
Speaker
Elidor, it's not his time yet. I know you feel like he wants to be, but it's not. And I'm going to cast Spare the Dying on him, so he's at least stable. Great. Okay, yeah. So you are now stable, no one, you don't have to make it to Elwood. He's at zero hit points, it doesn't have to make any saves. Thanks, mate. Could I just extend my medicine check just to see what got him if it was just like the acid? We saw the acid too.
00:48:06
Speaker
a half-hearted attempt to resurrect him. Can I make a medicine check?
00:48:19
Speaker
Yeah, oh yeah, you saw the acid too, yeah. And can I just use that motion check to see if he's still got acid on him and then clean it off a little bit? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. So you scrape off any dead flesh and move away, clear out any bits of his tries of material that got stuck into his burnt skin slightly, and manage to get him in a more cleaner state to stave off infection. And then in a really unaffectionate way, I'm just gonna stand up and walk away and then say to these two,
00:48:46
Speaker
I guess he failed the test then? I don't know. I don't know whether it was repercussions for the skeleton or what. It really was. Why would you deface a shrine? Well, exactly. I don't want to try and test the will of the patron, but it seems like we are dragging
00:49:12
Speaker
and incapacitated Nix through his own test. Let's see what, Alpha, have you got, um, and if you leave him, do the test to come back and just help him. I mean, it's, it's, it's an option. We could like prop him in corner under the bush and just, um, Oh my God, this is like, uh, what's that film?
00:49:32
Speaker
A nice tail. The temptation to leave you here is very high. Weekend at Bernie's. Alfa, have you got any of your reeling self? Because I've used all my... Honestly, don't. He's more of a hindrance. Well, let's just check we can actually get him up because you might need to be conscious to finish tests, mightn't he? I just slap him about a bit. It's fine.
00:49:57
Speaker
It is possible that he has already failed his test and we really need to proceed through. Possibly. Let me just find the emergency exit. Let's just carry him then come in. I'm just going to lift him up onto my shoulder if possible and walk out the door.
00:50:16
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Follow. Brilliant. You're literally dragging him through this. This is amazing. Alpha's just as we get to the door. He's going to stop for a brief moment. Turn back around. Can I just make an investigation check to see if I can find the gem? Of course you can do it. Fucking do it. Robot bastard. Natural 20. 25 total.
00:50:47
Speaker
through the acid, you notice that this gem had pinged off from the eldritch blast to the back of a corpse of the head of a dragon and pinged off in the direction and had plopped into the water. As you approach the kind of acid, you realize then it's no longer acid, it's returned to water.
00:51:14
Speaker
and the gem sits cool within the water. It's about the size of, let's say a fist, a kind of a smaller human, like a child's fist, that kind of thing, turned to the size. Because it's not a human fist, because an adult fist is too big. It's slightly smaller than that. And it is a deep, dark blue color. Really polished, precise edges.
00:51:41
Speaker
but at the back of it, what you notice, you assume is the back of it, it seems to almost, it looks a bit like an eye because it's got some,
00:51:50
Speaker
The gem continues behind it like it was attached to something else, almost like the roots of a flower. That's what they looked like at the end. But it is also made of the same gemstone material, like it was in something it had grown. It had grown, basically. There was something biological about this stone, or what it was, at least. OK.
00:52:15
Speaker
Yeah, in all fairness, knowing the adventure bolts and knowing that the heroes always have to make sure they have the advantage, I am going to attempt to grab it and pocket it. Yep, absolutely. You managed to do that and you pocket your way.
00:52:30
Speaker
To follow tradition, I mean, Nix is lucky we haven't looted his body, to be fair. This is true. Well, yeah. You'd find a lot of cool shit on me. Large amounts of gold. Stepping out of the corridor into your grass corridor. I'm sure I made it grass. Anyway, you look and directly in front of you is a wall which you envisage is the wall into the throne room where the goblins attacked.
00:52:53
Speaker
You have a choice going left to right. Left takes you back the way you came. Right takes you down the corridor about 30 or 40 feet before it makes another sharp 90 degree turn to the north. You see just wall and a large shrubbery in the corner of the room. What do you like to do? A shrubbery! Before we, I like begin to walk towards the east as though I'm continuing. And I'm just going to stop and shout. I've got the name right. One second.
00:53:22
Speaker
Fairlight, if you can hear me, your man's dead. I mean, can we just go, please? He's obviously failed.
00:53:35
Speaker
I had from the shrubbery at the far end of the room, and not from the bush, but out of the area, this corporeal figure of the old man you met in the last episode steps through perfectly. The leaves don't move as he steps through it, and he walks almost without, it's like his hips don't move, and he moves very like, like he's floating a little bit, but you do see his legs moving beneath him, steps up to you. Is he on your shoulder, Morita? Yeah, just here, on my right shoulder.
00:54:05
Speaker
And he looks at you, looks at Emron, smiles, looks at Alpha with just a cold indifference, looks back at Marotta and then looks down to Nyx. Oh dear. Well, this just will not do. And he lays a single finger on the backside. I imagine he got him over the shoulder on his backside, just a single finger, just be like that. And I'll be a bit weary at first if he goes to touch him because touching is quite bad.
00:54:33
Speaker
And he's going to hold his hand out, allowing you to make the decision. He's not going to move any closer. Are you going to kill, kill him? No, I'm going to make him conscious again so he can continue. Uh, do you have to? Yeah. You can just agree he failed. Very well.
00:54:56
Speaker
He's going to lay a hand out very quickly and just tap Nix on the... Oh, I've made it the bump. He's gonna spank him on the bump a little bit. And Nix, all you feel is like almost, if you knew what electric was, that's what it feels like kind of jolting through, like a capricorn. Oh my god! Hi. Hi. My good friend, Morota, please put down Nix Correll. Yeah, right.
00:55:25
Speaker
Oh, my ass! Nick's correct. Yes, sorry! Well, that was a shock. Did I... Did I do good? Have I passed? I've what? You have failed the test of the patron. You have friends and confidants. Do not believe you can move on from this. Yeah, but- I tend to agree. Alright. My powers, though. I still get to keep my powers.
00:55:55
Speaker
And the figure starts to shake his head and then instantly it stops and the figure is perfectly still for a couple of seconds. His eyes seem to, the people seem to vibrate for a few seconds. His nose bleeds, his ear, a single ear bleeds. And it comes back and he wipes the blood from both, holding his composure perfectly.
00:56:17
Speaker
almost like one would if one was royalty and sneezed this was the same thing but there was a moment of intense fear and joy and hatred and love and everything all at the same time causing his nose to bleed
00:56:33
Speaker
You will retain the powers you currently hold, Nyx Karel, but they will not sustain you as you grow as an individual until you prove yourself worthy of the patron.
00:56:48
Speaker
He holds up his hand. Or he proves himself worthy to me. I mean, it's a two-way street. He holds up his hand empty and almost like a magician. Instead of cards appearing in his hand, this ornate item appears in his hand and it weighs it down for a second and it is a horseshoe.
00:57:05
Speaker
It is a horseshoe, but from all angles around it, it seems like thorns, metal thorns have been woven around the whole way around the horseshoe shape. He holds it tightly but closely by two of the horns as he turns it to you all and shows it's a normal sized horseshoe. As he shows it to you, you can see a number of words written around this horseshoe, habit, endure, injustice, ash, testament.
00:57:35
Speaker
Again, if you have it, habits on the bottom kind of corner of it, corner, you know, the end of the hoof. Habit, endure, injustice, ash, and then testament. It also seems to have upon it, it's actually matted in blood.
00:57:59
Speaker
A red, sticky liquid seems to be matted around it as well through these intricately carved words and these thorns that seem to have woven themselves. Again, metal kind of thorns that have been built into this item. This test does not end, Nix Carell. Your patron will want to see you, but not now. Therefore, he is asked,
00:58:26
Speaker
They have asked me to imbue the will of the patron to someone else. You will retain your powers, Nick's Corral. The powers given to you by the patron. But someone else will decide whether you keep them or they go. Someone who else was being tested during your time here. He looks at Emron. Emron.
00:58:56
Speaker
what the fuck though you have a connection to a deity the patron has deemed you the holder of nyx karel's abilities and he's going to hand you this horseshoe as he holds it out to you whether or not you take it or not he's gonna hold out to you and say if you deem his actions unworthy if you believe or decide that his
00:59:26
Speaker
subservience to your will does not comply you break the horseshoe his powers dissipate the patron believes that if you cannot follow the will of a mortal how could you ever follow the will of a being beyond your comprehension yeah about the comprehending uh i've got to follow him as if he was my god not as if he was your god
00:59:55
Speaker
He is. Follow his will. Follow his morality. Follow his understanding of world and life. If you can prove this to your patron, you will be rewarded for it. You have failed your first test, Nickz Karel, and he gets quite serious at this point, still holding out towards Emron, but looking at Nickz. Bear in mind, the ramifications of failing again is an eternity of pain and suffering.
01:00:24
Speaker
or whatever else your patron deems worthy to imbue upon your soul. Choose your next words very, very wisely. I cannot withstand what the patron wishes to pass on to you for much longer.
01:00:45
Speaker
I mean, it's more of a side note than a following of words. I dropped a gem in the room behind me and I was just wondering if I could just go and get it before we vacate this place. No. Your test has been failed. All rooms and sections are off limits to you.
01:01:10
Speaker
His eyes then switch and move to Emron, still holding out this horseshoe towards him. Emron will have reached out but not quite yet taken it. And he'll say, so if you're saying, what you're saying is if I feel he feels my
01:01:33
Speaker
but I consider the world, then I should just break the shoe. And he returns to being Nyx Carell before the patron imbued his power upon him, correct? I mean, I'm just a simple man having this sort of control over someone else. It doesn't seem fair.
01:02:02
Speaker
Fairness does not come into it, Emron. This is merely a question of whether or not a possible servant of the patron can follow. If he cannot follow, how and why should the patron imbue him power? You have also been chosen as your moral compass is so far removed from that of Nyx. This will im...
01:02:25
Speaker
This will allow the patron to feel a sense of enjoyment in seeing whether or not Nyx Karel can or Nyx Karel will change. He doesn't agree with your morality, but he appreciates you are true to your God and true to the way of the world as you see it.
01:02:49
Speaker
That alone is an honorable trait in the eyes of the patron, though he disagrees with your patron. What say you, Emron? Morota, before you get a chance to speak, I'm just going to say quietly in your ear, Emron. Please. Just take it. You can always break it when we're back in Goldview.
01:03:19
Speaker
Everyone will sort of want to be here. Look at Morota and then you'll look to Nix. Is this power what you're really after? Oh, me? That'd be the one I'm addressing to. I... Power? I mean...
01:03:43
Speaker
It is a bit heavy-handed, isn't it, though? I was just following some instructions told to me by a prisoner on the Esmeralda, and it led me to hear. Words and actions have meaning and wit as you're about to learn, and Emron will take the horseshoe. Okay, there we go. Do I follow him? I'm still confused on the rules here.
01:04:12
Speaker
Is this the next test? The Fairlight just turns to you and says, the test continues from here. Though the paid firm will not now decide whether your power stay or go, Emron will. So yes, I think it would be wise to stay close to Emron and maybe take heed of what he says. I don't know who that's worse for, me or him, to be honest. Probably you. Probably him.
01:04:43
Speaker
You will be approached by myself or the patron at some point in the future to deem whether or not you are allowed to meta move off level two as a warlock. To gain more powers. Are you? Yeah. Well, we'll bring it up to level. No, I know stairs, level one. Fuck you. You're still at level one. You blew up my dragon head. Um, the, the, the, the fairlight turns. You said you blew up a dragon. Fairlight turns and.

Speaker
There is nothing more for you here. What is around this corner, you will never know. But I do hope you've learned something of use in your time here, Nix. And I thank you all as he turns to the other three. And the patron wishes to pass on his thanks.
01:05:37
Speaker
wishes to pass on their thanks too to you all for being such willing participants in the trial of Nick's Corral. Well, we didn't really have a choice, but you know. But thank you, nonetheless, stay all out for letting us stop here. It has been a pleasure. Would you indulge us? Does the patron have a name or a title or a phrase?

Mystery of the Patron and Return Home

01:06:05
Speaker
He stops for a minute, taken by your kindness, Morota, towards him and your politeness and deference towards him. And he kind of almost, hand to the chest, like he wasn't expecting anyone to be as polite as you just were to him. Your kindness of words, Morota, touches me. He kind of looks over his shoulder and smiles a little bit and looks back. Yes, the patron is known by another,
01:06:35
Speaker
by another. And he just disappears from view. Not even like exploded, not even like an invisibility, anything like that. It just like ripped out of time and space itself just gone. And you're left with this empty corridor. And then you have a weird feeling each of you individually have this weird feeling of your arms aching.
01:07:01
Speaker
And your vision becomes narrow and narrower and narrower until all you feel like is you see the square shaft of light above you and your arms and your hands feel bruised and splintered as you go rung after rung after rung and nicks the first person, bang. An arm comes up.
01:07:25
Speaker
on the floor of arms and armor with the face of alien Hardwick, tears running down his cheeks as he clutches his sister as they look back at you. And as each of you pull yourself up into the space of arms and armor, that's where we're going to leave it for this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop.
01:07:45
Speaker
Booyah, that is my favourite episode yet. I loved that. The face you're looking for Ian is, your ass is mine. Mate, be absolutely, absolutely, and that's going to be a lot of fun. That's a really difficult moral, everyone does want to be in control of people. I know that's why I picked you, that's why I picked you, because I knew you would be happy as well, yay! Everyone's like, I don't...
01:08:11
Speaker
It's not how it's quite funny that you kept saying As they're like you were saying your will Emron your will Yeah, well play guys and yet nice nice nice and none of that. Yeah. Yeah, that was awesome. I was solid. Oh Yeah, well play guys and yet nice nice nice and none of that. Yeah. Yeah, that was that was awesome. I was solid. Oh, I've learned from everyone and from me. Did you have any healing magic?
01:08:39
Speaker
prepped for that. Could you have healed him? Yes. Okay. I just love that acid splash is what just in one hit, not me. If you didn't roll the pass and took full damage, you'd have died. I was like emergency exit, please.
01:09:01
Speaker
I am. Let's get the hell out of the stage left. We'll take the crystal. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll stop there. Leave him in, leave him in. Just get out.
