[00:01:20] Speaker A: Previously on Dungeons and Blaggards. The party finally crosses the distance between the two brass towers. Separated initially, Kaitoa and Steve combine forces into the ultimate battering ram and descend downwards with the aid of an arcane rope trick, which deposits you directly on what the whole party has deemed to be the one holding concentration over this prismatic jail cell, which is now totally dissipated. We're going to roll Initiative. Kaitoa and Steve, you are directly on top of the Minotaur. And how did you fair with the grease patch. Like, are either of you inhibited in some way? [00:02:11] Speaker F: No, we passed. [00:02:12] Speaker A: Sweet. Oh, good for you. So you're just rolling Initiative normally. [00:02:16] Speaker F: Steve is a 19. [00:02:19] Speaker G: Initiative is 15. [00:02:21] Speaker D: Kaitoa, 19. [00:02:22] Speaker A: 19. [00:02:23] Speaker B: I rolled a 23. [00:02:24] Speaker F: Okay, okay. [00:02:26] Speaker A: Stolas. [00:02:26] Speaker F: Stolas is a 18. [00:02:29] Speaker C: Okay, it's a 12. [00:02:30] Speaker A: Rook. 12. [00:02:33] Speaker F: Mm. [00:02:34] Speaker A: You go first. Zozo, you're in a room with 28 potential casters. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, forgot about all the kids. [00:02:45] Speaker A: All you notice with spell books. [00:02:48] Speaker D: Time to go full Anakin. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Execute order 66. [00:02:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm gonna start off with the fortifying fumes on the group that's around me. So that's me, Rook and Joe. So, yeah, I mix up that little vial and smash it. And the fumes come out and energize us. That will be. We'll get two D6 hit points. [00:03:22] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:03:23] Speaker A: And the wizardess in the mint cloak exclaims, oh, look at that! [00:03:31] Speaker D: They are just wowed by you. [00:03:36] Speaker B: So we each get 11 temporary hit points. [00:03:38] Speaker G: Oh, that was a very high roll. Thank you. [00:03:44] Speaker B: And we get 1d6. Additional melee damage on the next attack. Until my next turn. [00:03:50] Speaker F: Plus six. [00:03:52] Speaker B: Yeah. 1d6. Additional melee damage. [00:03:54] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Is that your action, Dr. Zozo? [00:03:58] Speaker F: Yes. [00:04:00] Speaker A: Anything else? Minor interaction. Draw something from your satchel. Bonus action. Shout to your buddies? [00:04:08] Speaker B: I think I'm gonna fly off the floor and hover. So I'm out of reach of the spiders. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Okay, spiders pour out the moment that you unleash your taloned heal. And now you're hovering, say about 8ft in the air. Remember the floors of the Wizard's Guild, they're about like 10 or so foot ceilings, so not a lot of room to move about. There is a draft now, a gust of wind from the, you know, the big open balcony there. Zozo, but you're airborne and let's see, what looks like to be 180 spiders pour out of the hole. Waves upon waves of these gold coin sized black hairy spiders just erupt the moment that Zozo pops out like a cork. [00:05:06] Speaker B: Okay, I, I, I yell out. Somebody pick up Beleg. [00:05:13] Speaker D: Just spiders crawling in his mouth. You just ate like a lifetime's worth of spiders in one minute. [00:05:31] Speaker B: Yeah, [00:05:35] Speaker F: you leveled up. [00:05:35] Speaker A: You ate some spiders. But he rolled, Beleg rolled eight. So he did not, I rolled it, initiative at disadvantage with him. Kind of made sense. Roll to close mouth. So Zozo, anything else in your move? [00:05:48] Speaker B: No, I think that's all. [00:05:50] Speaker A: Wow, quite the impression. Okay, clocking it at 19 is both Steve and Kaitoa. Who has the higher what Natural initiative and role. [00:06:00] Speaker F: He had an 18 plus one and I had a 16 plus three. [00:06:03] Speaker A: We'll give it to the higher roll, right or wrong. Kaitoa, you're up. 20. Hold on. The Minotaur rolled a 20. Sorry, Kaitoa. Sorry. This minotaur stands up. [00:06:14] Speaker F: Grapple, grapple him. [00:06:16] Speaker A: Keep him there. The minotaur definitely stands up. Right between you and Steve. They are your height, they're lanky, but they have stood up and they whip out their spell book and you can tell they immediately begin to concentrate on something new. They seem to be reaching into his spell pouch. [00:06:39] Speaker B: If he ends his turn in the grease, he has to make it on dexterity savings. [00:06:43] Speaker F: Oh [00:06:46] Speaker G: please. [00:06:47] Speaker A: Oh, that's not good. That's 14 plus modifiers. That'll actually do it. [00:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Okay, so he does a little bit of skittering. His legs are a bit wobbly, but then steadies himself. [00:07:01] Speaker G: I bet it sounds like tap dancing with the hooves. [00:07:08] Speaker D: Ah, fuck. Yeah. I guess I need to grapple, eh? [00:07:11] Speaker F: If he, if you grapple him and the spell he's casting requires him to use his hands, then that breaks that component. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Okay. The corgi shouts out, I told you the most important thing was holding them. [00:07:26] Speaker D: I'm gonna. Yeah, grapple him. [00:07:28] Speaker A: There's a bit of panic now with the appearance of the other two members of the party directly onto the caster. The spiders flooding out. It is chaos. Roll a, what is grapple, strength? [00:07:43] Speaker B: Yep. [00:07:44] Speaker A: Give it a shot. Okay, now shall he contest? That's a two. [00:07:54] Speaker F: Well, that's not good otherwise. [00:07:56] Speaker G: Nice. [00:07:57] Speaker A: That is not good. So, Kaitoa, you would really have to fudge this. [00:08:01] Speaker F: Okay. [00:08:02] Speaker D: And it's a strength check. Right. 23. [00:08:05] Speaker A: Can you describe how you now subdue this minotaur? That was kind of slipping around a bit. And you have probably totally interrupted whatever components they were trying to, you know, bring out. [00:08:17] Speaker D: Yeah, okay, I'll just grapple him. I'm just gonna like, Undertaker choke slap. [00:08:22] Speaker F: Undertaker choke slap. [00:08:24] Speaker D: Because he's. Because he's trying to read. So I imagine he's got both hands with a book. So I'm just gonna wrap around his chest and then I'm just gonna do like a big pick up into the air and like a big step slam off the ground. [00:08:39] Speaker A: This is a large adversary here. You slam them down, they seem to drop whatever they were doing with their one hand seemed to be reaching into a little pouch that they had holstered kind of underneath their wizard's cloak and, boom, onto the brass floor with a terrible clang. [00:09:02] Speaker F: Okay. [00:09:02] Speaker D: And then for my second attack [00:09:04] Speaker A: I feel like they may even take damage. [00:09:06] Speaker D: Yeah. Would he not. [00:09:07] Speaker B: I feel. [00:09:08] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm going to give you. I'm going to give you. Can you roll a 1d8 suplex damage? 7. You have winded this creature. And they let out a huge. [00:09:22] Speaker D: Did he drop the book? [00:09:24] Speaker A: Let's see. 1D4. [00:09:26] Speaker F: Yes. [00:09:27] Speaker D: Okay, so for my second attack, I'm just gonna hold him on the ground. I guess it has to be an attack, right? Like, I can't, like, because I have him wrapped, but his hands are still free. Well then, yeah, I'm going to. Headbutt him. I'm gonna look at Steve Headbutt him! [00:09:46] Speaker A: lick his face. Yeah. [00:09:48] Speaker D: Yeah, I guess. [00:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:49] Speaker D: I'm gonna go for a big old metal headbutt. [00:09:51] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:09:52] Speaker F: Okay. [00:09:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Rook, you shout that. Steve, you're egging them on. And what do you feel that would be? I feel like you do not need. This is an automatic hit. This is an auto hit. So how about you roll a tasty D12? [00:10:09] Speaker D: Do I add anything? [00:10:11] Speaker A: Sure. Add your strength modifier. [00:10:13] Speaker D: Okay. So 11. [00:10:16] Speaker A: Yeah. You smash off about one third of one of their horns. [00:10:23] Speaker D: Okay. [00:10:25] Speaker A: On the way to connecting with their forehead you have clipped one of their horns. And yeah, they look like they may have a minor concussion. [00:10:34] Speaker D: And then for, I guess, can I verbally yell at Steve to grab that book? [00:10:40] Speaker A: Yes, certainly. And there are gasps now from the audience. There seem to be many now, young voices. And, you know, you can hear some of them audibly shocked and others going, it's the vessel! [00:10:57] Speaker F: The vessel! Look at him go! Wait, who are they cheering for? [00:11:03] Speaker D: The vessel, which I assume they're talking about the construct. [00:11:06] Speaker F: Oh. [00:11:08] Speaker D: But yeah, I yell, I'm like, Steve, grab that book. Or I guess Steve or Stolas. [00:11:15] Speaker A: You indicate clearly, and this book has fallen into the grease puddle. And now, Steve, you are up. And then Stolas is up. [00:11:25] Speaker F: Okay, who are these people around us? Like this guy here [00:11:32] Speaker A: A man in some sort of quite official looking garb and a woman in a long, blue, wide dress look very stern onwards. They stand motionless. [00:11:46] Speaker F: And then these two over here, the little corgi, and this last person here, Right, Yeah. [00:11:52] Speaker A: They stand very near to the party, observing. The corgi seems to be the one who's been talking the most with the party. [00:12:01] Speaker F: And what the fuck is going on with this goat? [00:12:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I am a little worried about that goat. [00:12:08] Speaker F: Yeah, the goat is the one that troubles me most because it's a fucking goat. And a goat has no place in this tower. All right, well, I'm good for humanoids, so I think the goat is going to dodge out of the way of my attacks. I'm gonna grab that book. Now we are like. This is an open platform, or this is like an enclosed space. [00:12:35] Speaker A: What you have here is what appears to be an abutment or a sort of balcony platform that extended out from this noontime room, which is literally just a big garage door type opening in the side of one of these floors. It's huge, though. It's 50ft across. It's almost the entire diameter of the floor. And yeah, open air, a huge precipitous fall down. [00:13:04] Speaker F: I'm going to grab that book. And my speed right now is 40. The first turn, I'm gonna grab the book, try to get as close to. Oh, good Lord. I'm gonna get to Zozo. And since I can actually just get to her, I'm gonna. [00:13:21] Speaker B: There are like hundreds of spiders underneath me right now. [00:13:25] Speaker F: You're in the air too, right? [00:13:27] Speaker D: Yes. [00:13:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:28] Speaker F: Okay, well, I'm not gonna go directly to you because I don't want to get attacked by the spiders, but you're getting that book eventually. I'm gonna chuck the book at you. And then I'm going to attack. Who is this person here? By the corgi? [00:13:44] Speaker A: Very much looks like a belegian type figure. Azure Sorcerer's or wizard's cloak. They have an elvish look, bit of stubble. [00:13:56] Speaker F: This old fuck here. [00:13:58] Speaker B: There was also somebody standing next to the minotaur. [00:14:00] Speaker A: Yes. This is the young wizardess who, you know, looks on totally unfazed by the goings on and stands directly beside you. [00:14:10] Speaker D: She commented on the hat. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Kaitoa, as you say that, she says, I love the hat. [00:14:18] Speaker F: Why are they not. [00:14:19] Speaker B: They're not taking this seriously. [00:14:22] Speaker F: Yeah, there's something going on. Fuck it. I'm gonna attack the. This guy here. Okay. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. So he wears a feathered hat. He's got a red cloak standing off to the side motionless. And roll on AC. [00:14:38] Speaker F: Sure. I. I want to get as close as possible without going in the spider zone to just flip the book to. [00:14:45] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:46] Speaker F: All right. So I'm staying out of the spider zone. I chucked the book that I picked up from Minotaur at Zozo. [00:14:51] Speaker D: Yep. [00:14:52] Speaker F: And then I unleash dagger hell. Okay, first attack. That is 15 to hit. [00:14:59] Speaker A: Okay. Your dagger is deflected by an unseen force. And somebody yells cantrip from the corner. The small gnoll figure there seems to be very pleased with themselves. Ah these are illusions. Most of the kids on the benches, they haven't fled or anything. In fact, they are watching enraptured. [00:15:32] Speaker F: All right, lady in blue gets a dagger. [00:15:34] Speaker A: roll on AC. [00:15:37] Speaker F: That is so that's what, 22? [00:15:40] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. So she is drinking a cup of tea. And you again see your dagger deflected, but you smash the cup of tea and it explodes in her hand. And porcelain or ceramic there deals actually quite a little bit of damage to her hand. And somebody in the audience says, bad cantrip. [00:16:09] Speaker F: All right. And then next attack goes to this guy by the corgi for 16. [00:16:15] Speaker A: In this case, there is a gust of wind. And how would your dagger make a saving throw? [00:16:25] Speaker F: Maybe a dexterity throw. [00:16:28] Speaker A: I like it. I like it. Let's use Steve's stats for the dagger to try and get through this gust of winds which threatens to throw your dagger back 15ft. [00:16:38] Speaker F: Okay, 17 plus 7 for 20. 24. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Oh, shit. You hit this wizard in the blue cloak that looks a lot like Beleg. The trajectory of your dagger seems to be altered by a gust of wind from the audience from the left hand benches. There's clearly a caster in the back ranks there that unleashed a gust of wind. [00:17:05] Speaker F: It still hits the person, though. [00:17:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:17:08] Speaker F: Okay, so that's 8 plus 15. 23. [00:17:19] Speaker A: Perry, you took a dagger. And the wizardess in the light green robe there laughs. As you know, clearly one of her compatriots there takes a dagger from you, Steve. [00:17:38] Speaker F: This is not gonna be easy. [00:17:39] Speaker D: I'm regretting jumping into this. [00:17:44] Speaker F: Is my rope trick still there? Because I'm ready to hop right back in. Okay. Yeah. [00:17:54] Speaker A: Anything else in your move, Steve? [00:17:56] Speaker F: I've got a bonus action, but. Damn, man. [00:17:59] Speaker D: Yeah, the only way I can think is like some sort of like smoke. [00:18:04] Speaker F: Well, I mean, that's. That's a. I mean the bonus action. Really, there's not a whole lot I can do with the bonus action. Except for toss one more dagger and looks like gust of wind gets it again. [00:18:17] Speaker D: Sixteen. [00:18:18] Speaker F: Same as last. [00:18:20] Speaker A: Who are you aiming for? [00:18:22] Speaker F: Good old. Good old Gusty right there. [00:18:25] Speaker A: Oh, you feel the gust of wind did not come from one of these kind of firstmost wizard apprentices, you feel like this came from some of the back ranks of their kind of bleachers behind them. [00:18:39] Speaker D: Peanut gallery. [00:18:41] Speaker A: Yeah. But sure. You hit him again. [00:18:44] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:18:45] Speaker F: Okay, that is 19 points in this case. [00:18:50] Speaker A: You feel time stop. All of a sudden. The entire party feels the flow of time around them stop. And Steve, your dagger barely leaves your hand. It is hovering like 1 inch from your fingertips. [00:19:11] Speaker F: Fuck. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Stolas is next in initiative then, I'm afraid to say, Johawk and Rook, there are some wizards acting before you. [00:19:23] Speaker D: Oh, dude, we're getting killed. [00:19:27] Speaker G: I've got 77 hit points. I don't think so. I can. We can survive at least this. [00:19:35] Speaker F: We can do this. We can do this. [00:19:39] Speaker C: That's right. Burn them all. [00:19:40] Speaker D: Would you say there's 20 in the crowd? [00:19:43] Speaker B: It was something like that, yeah. [00:19:44] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:19:44] Speaker A: If you have what looks like 24 plus 4, so that's 28 what look like wizardly folk, young. And then these two non wizardly looking folk. One looks like Steve was throwing daggers at sort of a superintendent looking folk. Has a noble air about them. And the other one was this woman drinking tea in a fairly sort of formal looking large bell bottom dress. And a goat. [00:20:19] Speaker D: Where's a Krizbomb when you need one? [00:20:22] Speaker F: Don't like that guy. [00:20:23] Speaker D: Blow this tower the fuck up. But no one's reacting to the spiders either. [00:20:30] Speaker A: Time stops. That is where we are going to leave you tonight on this episode of Dungeons and Blaggards. Too bad we didn't have Brae tonight, but you know, sometimes you gotta eat spiders. [00:21:55] Speaker F: At least he'll die in his sleep peacefully instead of screaming and fucking dying in pain and being spelled to death. [00:22:06] Speaker D: Unless this is all a big joke and they're just like, hey. [00:22:10] Speaker F: I mean, they're pretty. They're. They're being pretty fucking blasé about the whole situation, that's for sure. [00:22:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:16] Speaker D: Unless, like, potentially, like, this is all, like, illusions, and it was all the dream. Well, these guys are all, like, remotely there. No one's actually in the room. Yeah, but we. But I did smack that minotaur in the face. He did take it. [00:22:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:32] Speaker F: We're all just a figment of the goat's imagination. [00:22:39] Speaker G: The goat takes off its mask, and it's Krizblik in disguise, and it's happy to reunite with you guys. [00:22:47] Speaker D: Or we all wake up and we realize this is a big redfrog trip and we're still in the cell. From the beginning, we were in the [00:22:59] Speaker F: vortex for two weeks, but our two weeks was there 200 years turned into a goat. [00:23:10] Speaker B: Rube did mention that he sometimes gets fed goats. Don't know if that's. If that means anything, but [00:23:17] Speaker F: they'll feed us to the goat, and then they'll feed the goat to Rube. [00:23:21] Speaker D: Is there any way you could. You can make the. Your rope ladder trick appear anywhere, right? [00:23:28] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:23:29] Speaker D: I mean, spot. You cast it. [00:23:31] Speaker F: It's. It's technically still there, I assume. Like, it lasts for an hour, but, [00:23:37] Speaker D: I mean, when you fall into it, you can make it reappear and open up anywhere. [00:23:41] Speaker F: It basically, it stays where I've. Where I've set it. I believe it may be concentration. If that's the case, like, once I cast something else that requires concentration, it's gone. [00:23:53] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:23:54] Speaker F: But it should last for an hour. [00:23:56] Speaker D: Yeah. Potentially. Just zip out of here [00:24:01] Speaker B: for an hour. [00:24:04] Speaker F: Hopefully they lose interest, and then we can jump out again. [00:24:07] Speaker D: Short rest. [00:24:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:11] Speaker F: Okay. It's not. It's not a concentration spell either. It's still. It's just there. It's there for an hour. [00:24:21] Speaker A: If you have a sec, maybe I'll ask you guys all now, very simple question. What do you think your character is doing here now? What are your individual character goals? I mean, for the blaggards at large, you've known these people for three months. You have a clear trajectory, in a way, but I don't know what your individual goals are. And then, Johawk, you're a little different. And then Zozo, again, you're a little different, but maybe starting with, like, Steve, like, what are your goals here? [00:24:53] Speaker F: I. I think, for the most part, Steve's a bit of a wanderer anyway, so this is just part of the larger adventure. But short term, it's. It's Miki and Gurm or Miki and Mem that are the. The short term goal. Miki and Mem. Miki especially. I suppose Miki more than mem, but Mem also has to fix my bow. So that's. Those are the things. There's a little bit of that since he almost killed himself trying to save us on that. On that wharf getting skewered. [00:25:31] Speaker E: God. [00:25:32] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:32] Speaker F: I feel like we owe it to him. [00:25:33] Speaker A: Very altruistic. Kaitoa, what about you? Well, like, at this point, what are your goals? [00:25:39] Speaker D: I think, like, I always have that. Like, I still want to find that Oumuamua dagger. Like, but I feel like also this campaign with the whole, like, kidnapped and then this whole Wizard Guild thing, I kind of want to put an end to this bullshit and, like, figure out what's going on here. And then. Yeah, like, short term again, just. Yeah, save Gurm or like, Miki. [00:26:06] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. What are your character's goals right now, Rook? [00:26:11] Speaker C: He's still searching for who kidnapped and took his kin and answers around around that whole situation. So that way he can put that to rest before moving on from kind of his detachment from the kingdom and the homeland. [00:26:33] Speaker A: Oh, nice. Zozo. [00:26:36] Speaker B: I think Zozo's goals. Yeah, I mean, one, she wants to rescue Gurm because she does have a relationship there. She likes having a group of friends that, you know, she's been on her own for a little while now. But I think most of all, she wants to get to the bottom of what happened. Like, who sent those. The Kobolds to her merchant caravan. And she knows that this ties in somehow with all that. Plus, she's just. She's enjoying all the new things. She gets to see a lot of weird stuff going on. And she likes that. [00:27:12] Speaker A: She's liking this. [00:27:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:17] Speaker A: Gnoll, at this point, what are your goals? [00:27:22] Speaker G: Very short term, rescuing that Gnoll kid. [00:27:26] Speaker A: Oh, the puppling. Yeah, sure. [00:27:28] Speaker G: Yeah. Long term, retribution for the fireball. And also making it home to take over Oldfoot's position. [00:27:39] Speaker A: What was the cause of that huge fireball? Cool. Wow. Okay. That helps me in a huge way. Thank you. [00:27:48] Speaker B: Yeah. It was good to have to think about that as well. Sometimes lose sight. I just kind of get caught up in the action. [00:27:54] Speaker D: Remember when we were worried about brunch? [00:27:58] Speaker F: Hey, I was just gonna say I was a little let down that none of us mentioned that we need to master brunch at the Not the White Chain. [00:28:05] Speaker D: I miss those days. [00:28:06] Speaker F: Just best brunch in Baheru. [00:28:11] Speaker A: Huge help to the dm. Thanks, guys. Like you were saying, Eric, sometimes you take a step back and you're like, yeah, why the fuck am I here? [00:28:19] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:28:21] Speaker D: Especially in a moment like this. [00:28:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:24] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:28:26] Speaker F: I don't know if I'm gonna make it out of this one. [00:28:31] Speaker G: I think Johawk has lost a lot of pride being bested by Steve. So if Steve dies, he's gonna go back to his old asshole-ish self. So don't doom the party. [00:28:49] Speaker F: I'll try my best. [00:28:55] Speaker A: So here's one thing we missed at the end. So last time we ended about 20 minutes early and then we did get to ask everybody a question, very simple question about their characters individual goals. Now in the campaign, what are Beleg's goals? And of course also you've, you know, fallen face down onto the polished brass floor here. You got spiders in your mouth. So what is Beleg thinking here? [00:29:27] Speaker E: First and foremost, he's like. He's still focused on going to the Feywilds and trying to figure out what the fuck happened to elves. Like that. Yeah, that's like. That's a huge priority. As far as like his like immediate goals go. Nothing too long term. He's pretty attached to the current party. That's about it. Like it's, you know, the immediate goals are in line with the parties. Aside from finding the Feywilds. [00:29:59] Speaker A: Well, do you have a couple minutes? Do you want to do a very, very quick update here that will at least give you some entry into the next session, which I think is next Monday. [00:30:14] Speaker B: Love it. [00:30:14] Speaker E: Let's go. [00:30:16] Speaker A: Okay. Previously on Dungeons and Blaggards. Beleg is the only member of the party to be transported and immediately collapse onto the floor. But as he does, he gets a glimpse of the scene in front of him through what looks like some sort of a prismatic reflecting dome. Around the party, there seem to be four wizard like folk standing in front of a larger audience of wizardly pupils. And one of these people looks very much like you, Beleg. Oh? Very Belegian in nature. [00:31:01] Speaker F: I'm curious. [00:31:03] Speaker A: So as your head hits the floor and you clearly did feel like you have been dimension doored. You fall. [00:31:10] Speaker E: I feel like I've been dimension floored. [00:31:13] Speaker A: You hit the floor and you go into that dream state. [00:31:20] Speaker F: Been there. [00:31:20] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah. [00:31:22] Speaker A: However, there is a voice, a whispering voice in your ear, Beleg. Close and almost panicked. What have you done to our beautiful arm? [00:31:36] Speaker E: Oh, don't worry about it. [00:31:39] Speaker A: It's all messed up. How will you wear the Brass gauntlets of healing? [00:31:46] Speaker E: They still fit. Don't worry. That's all. That's all I say. [00:31:52] Speaker A: The voice doesn't say anything more. Beleg. Instead of being sort of transported to that familiar place, T'lom Ber, now you are transported to the edge of the Feywild. The Feywild Fold. Where the land turns in upon itself. Like trees grow upside down. And you are standing actually on one of those strange angles where gravity seems to not exist. [00:32:26] Speaker E: I see. What like branches I can walk along. [00:32:31] Speaker A: Okay, you hop along a tree. Can you roll a dexterity skill check? [00:32:36] Speaker G: Yep. [00:32:38] Speaker E: 12 plus 2. 14. [00:32:42] Speaker A: You slip and you begin to fall. But a hand reaches out and grabs you by the forearm. And you're looking back into a very similar looking face. [00:32:59] Speaker E: Like how similar? [00:33:02] Speaker A: Very, very similar. And this person laughs as they help you back onto this big tree bough. And they say, watch your step Beleg. [00:33:16] Speaker E: Uh, does Beleg. Consider this like a regular sight? That's like seeing somebody similar. [00:33:24] Speaker A: Well, in this moment you realize this is a memory. That memory has been jogged by seeing that person in the chamber in the brass towers there, you know, just as your head hit the floor. And you saw a person that looked very much like you. Also in sort of a wizard cloak like you wear with your adventuring party. But no, in this dream here, you're back in the Feywild and you are in like light elven armor. [00:33:58] Speaker E: Interesting. [00:34:00] Speaker A: And so is this person. They're wearing like an identical jet black suit. And as you look up, you see lots of very similarly dressed elven looking folk jumping around the treetops. Right. And they're kind of playing with the gravity wells that are created within the Feywild fold. [00:34:23] Speaker E: I like it. I look deeply into like my imitator, my. The guy who looks like me. And roll some investigation on me on whoever is looking like me. But maybe I don't need to. [00:34:44] Speaker A: Are you fucking with me Beleg? I like it. Come on, we all do this. And he's looking at you like you know, he's reading your interior monologue. And as you look back at him, everything about this face is similar. And his voice is similar to yours. [00:35:03] Speaker E: Even if it's redundant, I still roll on it just to find out if like this is a common practice in the house. [00:35:11] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:35:12] Speaker A: What'd you roll? [00:35:13] Speaker E: That sucks. That was an 8 plus 2 10. [00:35:18] Speaker A: I see you looking into my eyes, Beleg. [00:35:21] Speaker D: And? [00:35:23] Speaker A: And you are freaked out, man. [00:35:26] Speaker F: Fuck. [00:35:28] Speaker A: And this guy does a backflip way out into a gravity well and sort of pops off around the next fold. And now you are left there and your head is swimming. You know this is like a lucid memory but it's all coming back to you. Like memories of the Feywild fold seem to have been out of your grasp for a long time. But yeah, you begin to clearly remember your place among the ranks of the Belegian forces. [00:36:02] Speaker E: Oh, solid ranks. [00:36:04] Speaker F: Holy shit! Nice move. [00:36:08] Speaker A: Yeah man, I did it! You know Beleg, as you begin to remember your recent adventures, you fall out of this dream. Now you are waking back up and you hear voices all around you. There is the shouting of the gnoll. I mean, your eyes are still closed but you know you're now hearing some things. You're hearing some raised voices around you. And then now you hear like a bubbling. And now you feel this awful creeping all over your body. [00:36:50] Speaker B: Phew, okay. [00:36:52] Speaker A: And that is where we will stitch together the one time adventures of Beleg Dygar in the Feywild. Nice.
