Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Overtime 12. Sit back, relax, click
that "Like" button. Oh, nice. I've never asked you guys to
do that before, I don't think. Comment where you're
from because I'm curious. You don't have to do that. You also don't have to
hit the "Like" button. That's up to you. We don't want to be pushy. But we do want you
to participate. Intro. (SINGING) Tall guy, beard,
twins, purple hoser, dude perfect's in Overtime. Tall guy, beard,
twins, purple hoser, now we're heading onto Overtime. Coming up on this
episode of Overtime, we're kicking it off
with Cool, Not Cool, then Top 10, a brand new
segment, Absurd Recurds, and Wheel Unfortunate.
Let's dive right in. What are you doing? What are you doing? For those of you
that don't remember, Overtime 11, Coby was
sentenced a one-game suspension for going overbudget. I'm making an
executive decision. One-game suspension. Nooooooo! If he talks, we already decided
he is an automatic wheel spin. Last Cool Not Cool, it was
budget episode, under $20. This one we'll just say you
were mandated to go over $20. All right, I'm
going to go first. I got a treat for you. I'm a food guy. I'm in. I'm hoping it's food related. I took it upon myself and got
us a personal five-star chef for an entire month. Oh, dude. Hey, here's the deal. I brought him up here, and he
made us a three-course meal to enjoy during Cool Not Cool. All right, Chef
Eric, bring it out. All right, guys, here we go. What do we have
here, Chef Airric? I call it the three
king crab cakes.
We're going to have Alaskan king
crab, red king crab, and salmon king caviar. You know what? First bite Gar? Guess what? Oh, he's in. My man. He's in for a green. It's the best crab
cake I've ever had. Easiest green of my life. It is going to be a
good month at DPHQ baby! Who's up next? Oh, I'll go next. Pretend you're going out
on a fancy date night.
You want to dress
things up a little bit. Are you guys familiar with ice? Like that you put
in your drinks? Are you familiar
with bling bling? Yes. This ice is so drip fam, no cap. And I'm talking about this, OK? Let me show you. So the Texas, obviously for
me, I'm the Lone Star boy, OK? Check this one out. This right here, you
know what that is? That is a recluse. A lot of people have FOMO,
the fear of missing out. One man in our group is a FOBI.
He has a fear of being included. Also known as a recluse, Gary
Hilbert I hope you enjoy that. I don't know if I'll wear
it, but I'll keep it. You should put it on. Oh, OK. Yeah. It will make you feel good. This one's actually for Cory. He is a shoe guy. And last but not least, the man
who gets way too many haircuts, enjoy that! OK. All right, make some room. Here we go. I'm going to present
this to you guys. Thank you, Chef Airric. And he loves steak and lobster. So right here, we have two
cowboy tomahawk ribeyes, dry-aged, topped with Australian
coldwater rock lobster tails with broccolini
down the middle. Broccolini. I don't know if I voted. I appreciate the gift. Thank you. Oh, also, how could I forget? Guys, I got the editors
some bling as well. Check it out. Instead of a DP shirt they
wear while they're filming– thank you. And I am a heavy, heavy green. Glad there was no budget,
because you definitely would've blown it. Sure. Absolutely. That lobster
though, I gotta say, this necklace is a
perfect segue into my gift for the three of you guys.
I scoured the internet– Foreshadowing. –and got you guys
some sweet kicks. CoJo, T-Tone, and G-money. Sneaker heads at home. You guys know. For me not being a shoe
guy, I still love 'em. Yeah, so that's a green for me. You got me 13. Super cool. Thank you. All right, guys, can I
interrupt one more time? Oh, please. Please, Chef Airric. Dessert is here. Can you pass that to
him for me, please? Thank you.
Chef Airric you're going
to fit in perfectly. We have caramel cheesecake
topped with Chef Airric's famous 14 karat gold
macaroons, french vanilla, and chocolate, topped with a
little bit of black truffle salt. Doesn't Coby love cheesecake? He loves sneakers,
he loves cheesecake, I think he loves
everything we've shown. Cobes, what do you think
of the episode so far? I almost got him. I really want him
to say something, because I'd love
to not be in Wheel.
I'm up. I am going to ask us to leave
the shoes, leave the dessert, and actually leave the drip
because I want us to fully embrace what I brought us. Really? We have to leave? Real fast. We'll be right back. It's worth it. Oh, this could be
a bad move for you. Like you guys, I also got
something for everyone. Well, not everyone. What you're about to see
is yours for one year. No way. Dude! Are you serious right now? Yeah. No way. I can't take it anymore.
Have you lost your minds? If he talks, he is an
automatic wheel spin. Ladies and gentlemen, please,
put your hands together for the next Wheel Unfortunate
contestant, Coby Cotton. I feel like we're in
Fast and the Furious. Drive the speed limit. It's only a lease. We've got to return 'em. Oh, the doors lift up. I'm sorry, Coby. Dude, thanks, Cobes. I don't even have to
close my own door. Hey, my wife's going to want
to borrow that next weekend. Bentley, start. I have never felt so left out.
[CHEERING] See you Cobes. Have a great day. That Rolls Royce– I cannot tell you guys
how frustrated I am. You went above and beyond. And for that, that's
a green, Codes. Cody, did you know your car is
only one of two in the world? I know it's the fastest
car in the world. Green. You're welcome. Rolls Royce is
right up my alley. How about that
cheesecake though? I mean, if I haven't
said it enough, one more. And make that one
last extra long. Repeating green. This was an anomaly
of an episode. We pretty much blew through
our yearly budget for Cool Not Cool. One time thing. Lifetime budget. Yeah. Let's give it up for
Chef Airric though. Thank you, Chef. Appreciate that. It's time to head to the next
segment, which I must admit is bound to be potentially
one of our most controversial and argumentative
segments we have ever had– It's going to get nasty. –in Dude Perfect history. Let's go to Top 10.
Welcome to our brand new
set and segment Top 10. Today, we will be discussing
Top 10 movies of all time. Your Top 10. OK, my Top 10 is what
we're going to start with. We've got a potential list of movies. I guess you'd call this
a word bank of movies. And then we've got our
top 10 and the places I'll put them in. I want to go on record. Tyler hasn't seen
a lot of movies. In fact, he saw– It's fair.
–Top Gun about a
year ago, first time. That's fair. He's never seen Gladiator. And that's not true. What happens? I'll tell you what happens
if it makes my Top 10. It daggum better. Can I have a moment of honesty? You may. I get Gladiator, Braveheart,
and The Patriot all mixed up a little. They're very– –they're very similar
movies with similar outcomes. Yes, they are. I'm going to kick us off. In my number 10 spot, if
you can convince a man that he needs to drive a Mini
Cooper, that is a good movie.
Top 10, Italian Job, there it
is, a Mark Wahlberg classic. I'm not going to fight it. So far, no huge objections. I'm not mad. I'm not happy. Let's continue on. Let's take this
row in particular. For example, a movie
like Avengers, Endgame, this one could be
thrown in the garbage. [BUZZER] You don't even
really need that up here. Oh, my. Honestly, this– That's the number one
movie of all time. Gross-wise. Jurassic Park. Eh. I'm not going to lie. I really thought that whole
row was going to make Top 10. You know what? I'll be honest. Gladiator, it's on my
honorable mention list. Number 11. Are you serious? It's going to sit down here. Everyone hold up
on your fingers, 'cause it's one of the
five, which number you would have put for Gladiator.
Ready? Set? OK, coming in at number
nine, Tommy Boy's got to make it up there. Over Gladiator? Come on. Yeah. There it is. Coming in at number
eight on the list, I think a lot of times
you got to look at actors that are at their prime. Tom Hanks. For example, Ben Stiller. I would argue Night at the
Museum was every bit as good– No, you're not serious. Unbelievable. Ty, real quick. Will you look me in
the eye and tell me that's the number eight
movie of all time? Night at the Museum,
it is a Top 10 movie.
I don't even think those are
some of the best Ben Stiller movies. I mean, Zoolander's
got to be up there. Have you seen Zoolander? No. I've never seen Zoolander. Have you seen Forrest Gump? I have not. Have you even seen End Game? I have not. Are you kidding me? Sit down. You threw it on the ground
and you haven't even seen it? What is happening? Night at the Museum,
the mummy guy comes out. You did all three things. He likes movies he can quote. Let's round out this foundation
of incredible movies. Number seven, Shooter. We have two Mark Wahlbergs
on the on the bottom row, OK? Taking it up a tier. These are some pretty
quality movies. Number six, Big Daddy, OK? As a single dad, he
did the best he could. I cannot believe
it's in your top 10. Top five movie of all time,
The Master of Disguise. Tier three is a joke. Claimed by some people
as the single worst movie in the history of the world.
I'm not kidding. Google it. It's a one-star review. 1% on Rotten Tomatoes. Then go in and watch the
movie expecting the one star, and you will be so
pleasantly surprised. Gentlemen, we got our
top four to get to. The number four greatest movie– To you. –is a movie that will make
you want to get up and dance. It will make you feel good.
Oh, my gosh. It's a Jack Black movie. This is insane. School of Rock, baby. Unbelievable. Give me the stage. Let's rock. Let's rock today. You know what I'm saying? If he can quote it, he likes it. I feel like I need to go
with an honorable mention here because I'm realizing with
all these phenomenal movies there's only three spots left. He's in trouble. I am in trouble. I got to give a shout out
to one of my favorite actors of all time. I know where he's going. Rush Hour. Chris Tucker, Jackie
Chan, one of the greatest duos to ever do it.
I'm agreeing with
you on this one. Thank you. Totally deserves an
honorable mention. There is a theme that I kind
of have going on my top 10– Yeah, trash movies. –as far as a
certain actor goes. And that is why Daddy's Home– I agree with you. –is an honorable mention. How is that not
better than Tommy Boy? Swap it out. Replace Master of Disguise. With three– no, no,
no, no, no, no– three Mark Wahlberg films in
the bottom of the Top 10. There it is. So you're telling
me, random night, you're going to pound a
little Master of Disguise on a Tuesday at 5:00 if it's on? It is a great pounder. And when you think of the
top three greatest movies, entertainment value
is through the roof.
I said in my honorable mention
that Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were the greatest duo to
ever do it on the big screen. I was incorrect. They were the
second greatest duo because the first greatest
duo was Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in Shanghai Noon. It does not get
better than that. It does, and it did. With the unbelievable
martial arts of Jackie Chan, and the comedic relief
from Owen Wilson, top three movie of all time. Who do you think is the
greatest actor of all time? Jackie Chan would be up there. Can we flashback to when
I said our whole list are going to be comedies? Comedy, comedy, comedy, comedy. Give me a quote from that movie. You know a quote. You have to. What's wrong with my horse? Is he dead? That was Jackie. Go watch it.
Watch it tonight. I might actually
watch it tonight. There's something
missing in this Top 10. Movies that are
good, five stars. Do you think about some of the
greatest movies of all time, Miracle on Ice, Little Giants. Sports movies do
not make the top 10 unless it's Remember the Titans. Remember the Titans is an
honorable mention on my list, an honorable mention. An honorable mention. There it is. Can you, please,
for the love of God, replace the Master of Disguise
with Remember the Titans? That's a top five movie. In all honesty, does Voodoo
even have this on there? Yeah, it's free. Yes. Hey, hey, hey, hey, here we go. Two spots remain. Major Payne is number one. Cory, you are so
far from the truth because Major Payne
is number two. No. It's not number one.
It is number two. Is he serious? You're not serious. I am 100% serious. Major Payne is right there. OK, it is come to the time where
we crown the single greatest movie. I know that it is
one of the most classic movies of all
time, and a lot of people would be very proud. I just need to
throw this one away. That one's not in the top 10. I just needed to get
it off the board. It was a distraction. Because the single greatest
movie of all time is Elf. Is this the Top 10
Christmas movie? When you can watch a
movie year after year, and you still laugh,
that is a great movie.
There it is. Ty's Top 10. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Home Alone you can also watch. Home Alone I've never seen. So I coulnd't rate that one. What? Haven't seen Ocean's 11. Interstellar, never
saw the end of it. The Wi-Fi in the
airplane kicked off, so– Lord of the Rings, I've fallen
asleep probably five times watching it.
It's trash. Tolkien, that's classic Tolkien. I feel good about it. I think everyone at home
should comment agree, disagree, or disgrace. Don't take this
personal, but I do feel like this is just a giant joke. How could I not take
that personally? Folks at home, if you want to
see an actually good Top 10, AKA, mine, which I feel
like is very well-rounded, with some action, some
comedy, some dramas, go to Vudu.com/DudePerfect,
and give it a look. Ty? This list is honestly absurd. It is not. And that's actually a great
transition to our next segment. Our good friend Michael
from Guinness was here. We accomplished an
amazing feat, as usual. It was absurd. Let's take a look. Welcome to Absurd Recurds. It is a beautiful day to try
and break an absurd recurd. Michael, thank you
for joining us. Glad to be here. Why don't you tell the
folks at home what we are attempting to break today? Tyler you are attempting
to break the Guinness World Records title for most drink
cans opened in one minute using one hand. The mark to beat is 48. OK. Let's talk a little strategy.
I'm thinking we
move up the rows. So [IMITATING CAN OPENING SOUND]
and then instead of coming back, we move over. Smart. You don't want to waste time. Shorter movement. And then we're coming back down,
[IMITATING CAN OPENING SOUND].. Your mark to beat
is in this region. Is it not? Yeah. The goal is to get
this side of the table.
I think we're ready. I feel ready. I feel ready. Whew. Tyler, are you ready? I am ready. OK, for the record,
three, two, one, go. It's such a satisfying noise. That's 10 seconds. 10 seconds. You're fine. You're fine. I shook one of them up. You have time. You're good. Good, good, good, good. Come on. I know you're getting tired. 20 seconds. 30 seconds remaining. Oh, yeah, dude. You're going to need more cans. Let's go! What you do now will
echo in eternity. Come on! Hey, come on.
Do you even care? 10 seconds. 10 seconds. Come on. Come on. Five, four, three, two, one. I think he did it. [INAUDIBLE] [YELLING] Are you not entertaineed? I'm telling you, you feel
real solid up until here. And then you're just
like, [YELLING].. Oh, I thought I was
going to rip a nail off. Look, I'm bleeding, Michael. You are. Do you mind if I grab a sip? No, go ahead. So, Tyler, I have
inspected the drink cans. The mark to beat was 48. Today, you had 52 it's a
new Guinness World Record! [CHEERING] Congratulations. Great job. That's absurd right there. Man, that feels good. I completely abandoned the game
plan as soon as we started. I went right up. And then instead of going
over, I came right back down. Folks at home, there you
go, perfect opportunity.
You saved that one
second by coming over. 53, new Guinness World Record. Well, back to the desk. Thanks, Michael. I think my fingers are bleeding. They're still bleeding? Because that was a while ago. Oh, yeah. You're right. They were bleeding. That's pretty bad. You should probably
get that checked out. Anyways hey, we would love
some input from you guys. What is the most absurd
recurd you could ever possibly think of? We'll pitch it to our
friends at Guinness, see if we can get it approved,
and we will give it a go. All right, well, moving
on, personally I'm excited because I was
about to reach under and pulled a hat out
from under the desk. But we don't need to because
Coby Cotton himself is headed to Wheel Unfortunate. All right, Cobes. Ladies and– oh, sorry. Wiggled off camera there. I'm full of life, full of
energy, the golden boy, Ned Forrester, fresh off of
20 Cities sold out tour. All right, we've got a special
show for you guys today.
You know, I heard the
man who's on the show, he wasn't even
randomly selected. He volunteered
himself to come on. He loves me so much. Please, put your hands
together for Coby Cotton. Coby, I found a little
something special for you, a limited edition
pantless golden boy with some real Ned hair on
the top of that bad boy. Check that out. You know, it's
kind of like a coin when they print
the head backwards. You're going to want
to hold on to that one. Thanks, Ned. Do you mind if I just
put it over here? Yeah, I'm sure
you'll grab it later. That's not a big deal, for sure. Absolutely. Don't ever do that again. Last time you were
on the show, you had to sit in a box of snakes. I know there was a lot
of concerned people out there for you. Yeah, I'll address it. The snake really
bit me in real life. Did it hurt? Yeah, it hurt. I think there's one
thing left to do, if you would hold my mic. [MUSIC PLAYING] So let's take a look at some
of the new consequences we got on the board.
Be handcuffed to an
editor for a day. You know, as much as
we love our editors, that would be pretty terrible. Eating dog food like cereal,
get a henna face tattoo. Drive until you run out of gas,
and where back at own a cat. So I got some new ones up there. Could be good. Not as good as old
Ned, obviously, because I'm the best. Stop running away, I'll get ya! All right, well,
Cobes, why don't you grab a hold of that wheel? Give it all you got, Bud. Say it with me. Spin that wheel. All right. Notice you tried to put a
little extra umph into that one. Thanks for volunteering
for the show, by the way. Really appreciate you– oh, look
at that, ladies and gentlemen. I got a little excited. I thought he was going
to have to own a cat. But Coby Cotton is going to
have to drive his car until you run out of gas.
You know, come on
over here, Cobes. Let me explain the situation. I'm going to need you
to put a piece of tape over your gas gauge. And go about your normal day. When you run out of gas,
don't use technology. Just figure out how to get home. Say it with me. That's un– unfortunate. Unfortunate. That was the worst job
you ever– you know, folks, a lot of people say
anybody could do this job. I think what we found
today is there's clearly one man for the job, and that's
Ned Forrester, the Golden Boy, signing off for now. Drive your car until
you run out of gas? Come on, people. It's fine. Ned told me I have to
tape up the gas gauge. This is so ridiculous. OK, it should be good. This is so dumb. All right, Will, thanks
for coming with me on this adventure. Yeah. I kind of have to. It's so unfair. I bought an ostrich pillow,
for heaven's sakes, OK? I want to drive a super car. Not to mention the
fact that I didn't even get to eat the steaks
and the lobster.
Yay, I'm turning onto 380. Dumb. These guys are cruising
around in their Lambos. So if I turn around
right now, I'm guessing it'll take an hour
and a half, two hours to get– [BEEP] Great, gaslight. Oh, Will, we're losing it, dude. Hold on, I'm pulling
over right here. Oh, my god. We're in the middle
of nowhere, man. Where do you think that last
gas station was back that way? Five miles? At least five miles back. Do I walk that way where
I know there is one, or do I hope that
there's one less than four or five
miles that way? Surely there's one less
than four or five miles. Gotta be. Well, there's some billboards,
which is a good sign.
Surely in the next
mile or so, huh? Will, is that a gas station? Yes. There's a gas station. I'm saved. Five miles later,
are you happy, Ned? Man, oh, man. Well, guys, life lessons with
Coby, never go over budget. And if you do, don't talk. I'm going to drive home now. Love ya. I could be wrong here,
Cobes, but haven't you found yourself in a situation
similar to that before? You mean have I run out
of gas before in my life? That's what I'm asking. Yeah, I have. Yeah. I felt right at home. You looked like a pro. I've done it too. I've run out of gas three times. Three? How? Once with him. He was the one driving. He blamed me. Shut it down. Thanks for watching Overtime 12. And if you're not already

Castle Combe is 20 miles from Bristol
and most of us got there. It's a fierce track, this… one of the fastest in Britain,
a real car-breaker. Can we have the challenge?
Find out what it is. -He can pick up later on.
-Yeah. -I know what this is going to be.
-Go on. Stig'll drive them round the track,
points for the winner. No, it isn't! It's: "Your supercars were built
in the '70s. How super are they today? To find out,
the Stig's going to set a lap time in… a Vauxhall Astra diesel. You will then attempt
to beat his time in your cars. You lose points
for every second over the Stig's time and gain points
for every second under it." The Stig was really on it… but a diesel hatchback? Come on! -A Lamborghini, a Maserati…
-And a Ferrari! I could see that coming.
…are easily going to be able to beat it. And across the line
in one minute, 35 seconds. Well, actually, I'd say we stood a…
Hello! He's… May! May has joined us. Hang on.
Have you come by bus or in your car? -I'm in my car.
-Is it on a truck? -No, it's not. It's fine.
-Did it break down on the way here? No, I just had to stop
and fill it up with electricity.
Given that James's car
was actually running, we decided to make hay
and send it out first. Three, two, one, go! This is a piece of cake. Oh, hang on. Smoke. Oh, my God! I got so excited I wet myself. Your car's done a wee. Do you think if we get this going again,
you will be able to do one lap? Yes, I do. And a… And a good one at that. Go! It's a right-hander. I'm turning
into the apex, snatching third… One minute, 18, he's not even in sight. I'm… Oh, shit. He's going to make it! And the V8 Lamborghini is… -Stig was one minute, 35.
-Yeah? -One… 58.
-Rubbish. Next, it was my Ferrari,
so far the most reliable car of the day. Oh, my mirror's just come off! Three, two, one, go! And with 255 horsepower,
it was also the most powerful.
It's indicating 100 miles an hour. This is probably about 50. -He's very competitive.
-He is very competitive. He's taking it very seriously. It rolls! Hammond gave his all,
but he was still slower than the Stig. How long before Hammond blames a misfire? One minute, 43 seconds. The problem is it rolls. I thought I'll
have to make up time on the straights. -The engine sounded healthy.
-And then it developed a misfire. -I knew! I knew you'd say…
-It did! It did! Finally, it was the turn
of the mighty Merak. Go! V6. It may only be a V6, but remember, this is the SS version
with 220 horsepower. Four thousand rpm! And that's all
the rebuilt engine has to give! Nicely balanced, though. Why won't you rev? An appalling heap of junk. Come on! Come on, car! I've got it. Don't say. I've got no brakes.
Oh, the excuses are coming. Here we go.
Oh, he's not stopped. I've got no brakes! I also had no coolant. Do you know what would cure that?
Spending £10,000 on an engine. -Yeah.
-Oh, somebody has! It's a bit steamy. I've no brakes.
Oil pressure has completely gone. So, do you want to know or…? Well, tell me what I did with no brakes.
One minute… 54! -Fifty-four. That is brave.
-Slower than… To find out why our lap times
were so woeful, we were given another challenge. This is a rolling road
which you use to measure power. Now, what we're going to do
is put the cars on it and find out how many of the horses
that were put into their engines when they were new
have escaped over the years. And obviously, we lose points
for every horsepower that's gone missing. Now, we weren't covering our ears because of the noise
from Hammond's fake Ferrari, but because James was boring us to death. Yeah, it measures the wheel horsepower
and then by letting it run down, it converts the mechanical drag
into the extra horsepower -at the flywheel.
-Good. Remember, the Dino had 255 horsepower
when it left the factory 30 years ago. -So, what's he got?
-How much have you lost? It said 194. That's not bad! So, 194 brake horsepower
is what it's actually producing. -Sixty-one rampant Italian horses just…
-Sixty-one horsepower have escaped. -That's how many a year?
-Think of it another way.
That's a VW Lupo has escaped
from your engine! Now, will the Lambo run long enough
for the machine to take a reading? This machine goes up
to 450 brake horsepower. -Oh, well, I hope we're okay, then.
-I think we might be. See? V8, 2.5 litres. -220 brake horsepower to beat.
-It's lost… 103. So, it's got 117 left! Is there enough power to get it off? Then it was the turn of the Maserati. But first, I'd discovered something
worrying in the service history. Note, please, item two, badge. "Badge SS." £38 for an SS badge! I've bought a car
that's got a 38 quid badge on it. There was some good news, though. Because it turned out
I only had an ordinary Merak, it meant I only had to reach
190 horsepower, not 220. Oh, yeah, here we go! Come on, what is it? -Eighty.
-What? -Eighty.
-Eighty! They've all got away! There must be
a big gate open on the back and all your horses just got out! Your car is garbage.

Back Last, we left off The Mighty Nein had found their way outside of the Dwendalian Empire and to the first city along the coast of the Menagerie Coast Nicodranas, where Fjord had passed through previously on his various adventures, through the waters nearby and Jester’s.
Upbringing was entirely within.
You had met with Jester’s, mother, Marion, The Ruby of the Sea as well as began to seek information about an individual that was connected with your time up at Shadycreek Run and the sphere that you had absorbed Fjord In this period of time.
You discovered there was an individual that had grown jealous and strangely aggressive regarding the companionship of Jester’s, mother and as such, you began to seek information about them in a way to put an end to this behavior.
In doing so, you went to a tavern and met a captain who had possibly room for a few of you to travel with about a week from now.
You met a tortle for many of you, the first time you’ve encountered a tortle who had some interesting things to say and a lead on the individual.
You were looking for. You also found information about what’s called the Sluice Weave a series of waterways beneath the city, where this Algar this individual, that was creating tension with The Ruby of the Sea works and oversees.
You made your way to the outskirts of the docks searched through the water for an entrance managed to muscle your way through the grates below nearly drowning the pets you had recently purchased.
You encountered a few small water elementals and eventually came upon one of the nexus areas of this waterway, where there was an elemental entity named Xundi that was bound to this location and was helping run and control the water in and out under the supervision of Algar.
Catching them, but, however, not being as stealthy as you had hoped.
You were noticed and as such a battle commenced, where Xundi this elemental figure was given the command by Algar.
To take care of you and see you out In this fray, a number of you fell and fell again, but through a combination of Fjord’s teleportation spell abilities you guys keeping each other alive.
You repeatedly punching very hard.
Whatever got in your way, you managed to subdue Algar, destroy his two guards raised one as a specter and noticing that there was something affixed to his wrist.
That seemed to have some connection with Xundi Fjord cut his left hand off, And that’s, where we pick up The rest of you, are slowly pulling your way.
Your bodies are completely waterlogged from rushing through thigh high waters and many of you being submerged nearly drowned at times. You gather yourself, as you realize, the threat is gone, The water elemental’s destroyed, and this entity that was once attacking you seems to have lowered their trident and turned around their attention elsewhere, releasing any aggressive demeanor they have held since your arrival.
At this time, you Beau, as you turn the corner and mashed the face of Algar against the wet stone wall.
You look over to see both Fjord slice, the hand off of his right wrist MARISHA, Wait right or left MATT.
Oh sorry left hand It’s to your right.
You see the left hand get cut off.
He screams out bleeding from the stump as he grabs it.
With his other hand, the hand and the bracelet that was attached, both clattering to the ground, with a wet thud and it spinning falling over to the side Beau, you also look over and notice.
There is this horrible strange, undead entity floating immediately to your right of you and Algar this spectral creature that is ethereal but made of dark, blue and black energy.
This drowned spirit that is giving off this horrible guttural sucking sound and Fjord still stands.
There blade in hand looming over the two of you technically LIAM. They’re hidden from all the rest of our views.
Right, MATT Yeah, you guys know where they went, but you have no idea what’s transpired since Currently Xundi is floating towards the back of the chamber towards where they are.
What do you do? Marisha Fjord? Is he with you I’m pointing at the spectral guy TRAVIS? He is MARISHA, So I shouldn’t kill him TRAVIS.
I don’t think so Might be unwise.
Marisha You all right man, TRAVIS Yeah.
I want that bracelet I’ll reach down and pick it up.
Matt.
Okay, You pick the bracelet and Algar’s like groaning pained panting TRAVIS, I’ll hold it in front of his face.
You used this to control that MATT Make an intimidation check with advantage MARISHA Yeah, I’m still holding him down TRAVIS That’s a 25 MATT Yeah.
It was part of my post. What are you going to do? Please? Don’t kill me.
Please TRAVIS: Well, it depends on how forthcoming you are Anything I need to know to operate this thing or I just slap it on and start giving commands MATT At this point, Xundi appears at the back of the chamber: Rounding the corner, the large thick barrel, chested Fish like form wearing this very well tailored vest with the silks of the shirt billowing around its wet elemental, form its fish face curled into this sly, grin It spins around and looks towards Algar, and you guys It says with this low burbling fish voice.
Ah, I see the hour is nigh for vengeance, It pulls the collar from its neck and it clangs onto the ground, uncertain noises SAM Ask him to put it back on LIAM, I’m going to start covering distance TRAVIS.
Indeed, The hour is nigh MATT.
It puts out its hand, You have seemingly come to the aid of this humble individual, Please hand me the implements of my enslavement TRAVIS.
May I ask how you came to be enslaved in this predicament in the first place, MATT.
That is not of your concern, TRAVIS.
How about an answer for the bracelet MATT Algar?’s – still, moaning Don’t trust him MARISHA.
I punch him TRAVIS That’s right.
You do MARISHA Shut up MATT. The rest of you are closing up on this space.
Taliesin, We’re making our way there MATT You guys leap up and begin to climb.
In the meantime, the creature looks to you and says: Let’s just say that there were powerful minds that were interested in the benefits of my undivided attention towards things that were of not my interest TRAVIS.
I’m sorry to hear that.
I never like to see a creature put under the boot of somebody else for their gain.
I’ll toss him the bracelet MATT Catches, it picks up the necklace and both of them get tucked inside of its vest.
With this heavy wet sucking sound Looks over to Algar.
It would appear that you have this taken care of, but would you do me the honors MARISHA? Well TRAVIS.
Actually, if you wouldn’t mind, we have further need MARISHA Questions, yeah, Just a conversation.
Maybe first, Can you wait five minutes TRAVIS, Not even five minutes. Perhaps if he can tell us the safe way out of here in exchange for letting us have our way with Algar, he could be on his way and we can have our time MARISHA.
I’m confused on the levels on what you’re talking about.
What all you want, but I’m with it Wait.
Do we do need from Algar TRAVIS, But I don’t want to kill Algar MARISHA.
You do want to kill Algar TRAVIS.
I do not Nope MARISHA You.
Don’t want to kill Algar Yeah Okay, TRAVIS Hand up one sec Yeah, I’m saying Don’t kill Algar MARISHA Yeah, I’ll, give earmuffs to Algar, Still have my knee in his face.
Matt.
He’s bleeding out TRAVIS.
I want to know if there’s other booby traps LIAM We’re all watching, MATT Yeah, you guys all now have gone into the chamber. You can see this LIAM, I’m going to attempt to do that thing.
I’ve seen Beauregard do so many times and foof up my biceps and look intimidating MARISHA.
What do we do with Algar TRAVIS? I’m not sure yet MARISHA.
By the way, I think Algar’s unconscious, He might be dead.
Travis Algar MARISHA Yeah TRAVIS, I’ll give him a little cheek slap MATT.
He’s definitely passed out.
He’s not dead, but there is a large amount of blood coming out of his severed, stump LAURA.
I stand next to Caleb and poke his biceps Ooh SAM Guys need any help MARISHA.
Should we TRAVIS, I’ll tear off a sheet of ribbon off of my sleeve, and I’ll wrap it around.
His forearm, like a tight tourniquet MATT, Make a medicine check LAURA. Do you want me to stabilize him? I can do that.
Travis 11 MATT That’s enough to stabilize okay, You’ve prevented him from bleeding out.
He looks pale and has lost a lot of blood, and there is this dark pool that’s still suffusing the space around him on the stone floor on the raised area of the hallway.
So he’s stable Xundi.
As the rest of you came around the corner, you can see him standing there looking at the group.
Well, I have things to take care of now.
It looks to you.
Khedive Xundi is my title.
I’ve been held here for too long.
Should you find yourself among the endless seas of my world, come to my Silver Silt Palace, TRAVIS, Silver, Silt MATT There. I shall reward you for your assistance.
Now I’ll go to free my partner, MARISHA, Hey Xundi, real quick Just seems like you were powering the entire city.
How would we do that without you MATT That’s a good question and it leaves LAURA? What was the palace? What did he say? All Silver Silt LAURA: Where was the palace? Is it in the ocean TRAVIS, I’m, pretty sure LAURA Was it in the ocean SAM It’s, probably not on land yeah TALIESIN.
Is everybody? Okay.
By the way do we have every? Oh god, I’m going to cast Turn Undead TRAVIS, Oh MATT, Okay, MARISHA To the guy LIAM Yeah MATT.
That is a 14.
What’s your DC, TALIESIN DC on Turn Undead.
Let me find it again MATT What’s your spell DC! Taliesin Spell DC is 16 MATT.
The specter goes groaning and immediately turns around and starts drifting down the hallway away from you giving this horrible hollow sucking scream TRAVIS.
Thank you. Marisha Did we need him? Was he useful too TRAVIS Nope? No, I just forgot.
He was there TALIESIN All right, let’s SAM Good job, Mr Clay, TALISIN.
If everyone’s got a minute, does anybody need healing TRAVIS Actually, Algar might need a quick LAURA.
I have a question TALIESIN.
I’m, going to start a ten minute.
Laura Are we going to kill him TRAVIS, No LAURA? Well, if we don’t, how do we get away without anyone, knowing that we killed his guards and we let the guy go MARISHA Yeah SAM? What do you mean Just tell him? Don’t tell anyone or we’ll, come back and kill you TRAVIS Yeah LAURA What if he goes in to like a protection service or something SAM, We need to have a conversation with him.
Afterwards, We can tell him to leave the city and never come back or we’ll take off your other hand, TRAVIS.
I, like that, Plus they’re guards, it’s their duty to fight which they did and we defended ourselves LAURA That’s.
True TRAVIS, I feel like LAURA, I mean we weren’t even going to attack if he hadn’t attacked us in the first place LIAM, Although to play devil’s advocate, you are right.
He could change his mind down the line and try to get revenge on you or your mother. Laura.
I don’t want him to get revenge on my mother TRAVIS, We’ll make it pretty quick MARISHA.
We can do other things to make sure LAURA.
Can we make it seem like Algar was the one who did all this TRAVIS Yep LAURA Like maybe he turned SAM? Did he see you does he know who you are LAURA, No SAM, Then why would connect anything to his mother? Unless we tell him To your mother, I mean LAURA Well, because I heard Tracy say that she was staying at the fancy.
The Lavish Chateau SAM.
It’s a hotel that lots of Tracys, I think, probably stay at TRAVIS.
If we want to be really careful, there are other places to stay LIAM.
I’m also curious to know what he is doing down here in the first place, SAM, Why don’t you step aside so that he doesn’t see your face when he wakes up or disguise your face, so he hasn’t LAURA.
Oh good call LIAM.
I would like to throw my hat in the ring to say that I think he might need to die here – ja, SAM Okay, so we got two kills four maybes LAURA. What? If we send him out to sea Don’t necessarily kill him, but make him leave and then make it seem like he was the one that did everything TRAVIS.
I think we’re going to listen to your influence on this one Jester.
It is closest to you MARISHA.
We do have one passage secured with Captain Adella.
We could just tell Ed r what’s his name Algar, That’s Pillars of Eternity.
We could just tell Algar.
You have a new plot in life now and it’s going to be to help Captain Adella SAM Wait is Yasha going with Adella No TRAVIS, No SAM.
She’s on a different boat.
Maybe MATT Yasha’s with you, SAM No! I know, but she’s going to be leaving at some point soon right, MATT She was making her way towards the sea, but hasn’t made passage anywhere, TRAVIS No hard plans.
Well let’s wake up this son of a bitch SAM. We can always kill him.
Travis Yeah, we’ll, get answers LAURA Worst case scenario.
We kill him SAM, Maybe best case scenario.
Yes, LIAM Just put a pin in it and see what we find out here.
Marisha.
Do you want to disguise yourself before we do this LAURA? Oh, okay? Yes, I will disguise myself as a tortle, but not the that guy.
We met like a tortle that’s a girl, MATT Okay, LIAM Period, TRAVIS Yeah that’s it MATT.
I like that, a gortle SAM, So exactly the same as the guy except long hair, LAURA No, no hair, but like a skirt MATT There, you go Tortle Skirts LAURA Because girls wear skirts.
Obviously that’s what girls do MATT Jester needs to get out more.
Liam Tortles wear skorts TALIESIN At some point. There’s going to be a healing spell MARISHA.
I get back on top of Algar and I’m restraining him, pinning him down TALIESIN.
Does anybody not need healing LIAM Well? Herr Clay? Do you need healing SAM? I don’t MARISHA.
I could use some healing LIAM Yeah.
What about yourself TALIESIN? Oh, I’m getting in on this LIAM.
I could use some I don’t know.
If you are sharing LAURA, You could do a Prayer of Healing TALIESIN.
That was what I’ve been doing: a Prayer of Healing LAURA.
Oh really, We could both do Prayers of Healing TALIESIN All right, so I’m doing everybody except Nott and I’m adding Algar to this MATT.
Okay, LAURA I’m, going to say I’m doing it too, but I’m not really going to LIAM On the count of three One: two TALIESIN That’s 14 points to everybody, LAURA Dear Traveler, please heal everyone. Do you guys feel better? Marisha, I do actually thank you.
How many points TALIESIN 14, SAM Thanks, Mr Clay, and Jester LAURA You’re.
Welcome.
Matt.
As the wave of healing divine energy emanates from Clay,’s focused point Algar, who’s still being held against the wall by Beau gasping TRAVIS, I’ll bring the tip of the falchion right under his chin.
You know before we begin.
We got this thing about calling out yelling, really sensitive eardrums.
So let’s not do that MARISHA.
Also before we begin, I want to make sure that you know how serious we are in getting honesty from you.
I take his head and I go whack whack into the wall. Travis Back unconscious MARISHA, I’m going to do Extort Truth on him, spend a ki point: MATT.
Okay, all right MARISHA! He has to make a charisma saving throw MATT That is 14 MARISHA.
14.
Is the DC MATT? Okay? So he succeeds MARISHA Fucking, fuck MATT.
You can try it again.
If you have another ki point MARISHA, I do MATT.
Oh wait! No, let me see, I think he might be immune to it for the next 24 hours based on the ability MARISHA What to mine MATT.
If he succeeds on it yeah, I think so MARISHA.
Well, then I go.
I don’t think you heard me Whack whack and I’ll try one more time, MATT! Well, I’m going to double check here, but I think if he succeeds in the save he’s immune to it for 24 hours, I could be wrong. Let me double check here.
Sam.
Has it been 24 hours yet MATT Yeah? You can wait 24 hours and then come back to it.
Liam Let’s just sit here until it’s Crash Pandas tomorrow, TRAVIS I’ll lean over to Nott and say Nott.
Do me a favor and make sure he’s not carrying anything fancy in his pockets SAM, I’m going to rifle through all of his pockets with lightning speed agility of hand.
Matt Make an investigation check.
Please.
Sam Mm, not good 12 MATT, 12.
Okay, Rifling, through his bits, you find 21 gold pieces, 45 silver pieces, two platinum pieces, SAM, Great MATT.
You find one empty glass vial, where a healing potion was used previously A dagger and a basic hand, crossbow with five bolts. Sam All right, I’ll.
Take the gold and the bolts and everything else I’ll throw in a puddle MATT, Perfect LAURA.
Does he have any pretty buttons SAM? Does he have any pretty buttons Matthew MATT? He does attached to the shirt if you want to pluck them SAM.
I will pluck the buttons MATT There are six buttons SAM.
Do I have to roll for each one MATT? No, you’re fine To Extort Truth.
No, you can continue to try it.
If you want to MARISHA.
I try it again.
Liam Spam, it MARISHA Whack whack MATT, All right With every more button pulled smack Button smack Button.
You’re teaming up on this regard: MARISHA Real, serious, MATT, Okay, that’s a failure That’s a natural ten. Okay, you slam his head two more times and pinch an area underneath the bottom of the jaw.
It causes his irises to swell for a little bit.
He looks towards you head lolling, a little bit MARISHA.
Now you’re going to answer all these nice man.’s, questions: okay, MATT, He doesn’t answer, but you have his attention TRAVIS.
What was your job down here and why were you giving commands to that creature with this bracelet MATT? It’s my job I was assigned as the supervisor of the Sluice Gate TRAVIS.
Who do you report to MATT? I report to the Clovis Concord I was assigned here – maybe a few months back from Port Zoon, but I largely specifically report to the Marquis and his associates: TRAVIS Marquis MARISHA, The Marquis, the MATT Marquis Zhafe Uludan MARISHA.
Oh, that guy right Lives in the palace guy TRAVIS Yeah, not LePual, MATT, No TRAVIS Demesne LIAM Fjord.
Ask him if knowledge of that water creature, that was here and is gone now, if that is known all the way to the top or is it his bag or TRAVIS? The creature that was here and the magic used to control him? Is that something that you brought to the table, or was that a device given to you and known in the higher ranks of government MATT? He’s resisting answering MARISHA.
I dig that finger into his pressure point.
A little harder MATT Make an intimidation check with advantage because you have him affected with the Extort MARISHA. Oh right, charisma, 11 MATT.
In his current position, he grunting The Margrave and the Concord are aware.
This is one of two cities that runs with one of these marid underneath grunts TRAVIS, One of two cities – MATT, Yes, TRAVIS And the other would be MATT Port, Damali TRAVIS Right.
What else do you do here in Nicodranas? What do you do to pass the time? Algar I’m trying to decide whether or not to hand you over to this fearsome beast over here and I point to laughing Caleb MATT With the muscles popping LIAM Ja and I send Frumpkin who’s holding his breath schlooping up on top of his Chest He’s hungry, and so am I laughter MARISHA.
It puts the lotion on its skin TRAVIS.
I’ll make you into a jacket MATT I drink and carouse buy fine linens and furniture LAURA That’s good hobbies, MATT Yeah.
You asked what he does with his spare time.
Travis You have any significant others in the city, MATT, None! Really I take companions.
The Ruby is a very beautiful creature, LAURA Woo, Ruby, She’s, real hot laughter, TRAVIS Agreed.
I think we all know The Ruby of the Sea far and wide Think she,’d miss you. If you went missing MATT A few more weeks of wooing her yes MARISHA.
No, that’s not how that shit works.
Man, TRAVIS, Yeah, MARISHA, laughs, MATT.
There’s a conflict inside where his masculine pride immediately hits with the hit to his ego that you just delivered TALIESIN.
What were you doing down here? Matt My job TALIESIN? What is your job exactly MATT, To maintain the Weave To help exert my will on the creature that you just freed, so it can direct water towards the various furnaces that run a lot of the engines that help maintain some of the commerce here in the city.
Liam Ja and what happens to the commerce in the city now that you have fucked that up MATT? Oh, I fucked it up.
Well, thanks to your interference here, they’re, probably going to have to re network.
Everything through analog means That’ll take weeks.
It’ll be expensive, LAURA Oh man, you’re going to be in so much trouble.
Taliesin, Especially I imagine if they start looking into everything you did with that kind of power, I mean having access to that kind of creature. I can’t.
Imagine that you were on the up and up about everything you did TRAVIS, Especially if you start to admit that you did it all yourself.
I’ll use Mask of Many Faces to look just like him.
Taliesin People have got to have to start asking questions.
Serious questions MATT You hear his head hit the stone once more, Who the fuck? Are you TRAVIS, as Algar Who the fuck? Are you MATT Make an intimidation check with advantage MARISHA, So badass TRAVIS, 19 MATT? He looks down at his severed hand the stump.
Having now healed over from the healing power of your prayer, Look please I don’t want to die.
I don’t want to die down here.
I don’t want to wash up in the middle of the shore TRAVIS.
You know what I’m feeling like Beau, That I just need to get out of this city and never come back, go somewhere far away.
I hold up also a stump because my hand is missing. I need to go in a boat and just go MARISHA Man that sounds like a fine idea: Algar doesn’t it LIAM Frumpkin starts to lovingly gnaw with his beak on the upper chin of Algar MATT.
That sounds like a great idea: TRAVIS.
Maybe a haircut.
Maybe a new name too.
What do you think MARISHA? Oh man, You look like a Jorge TALIESIN.
I’m going to pick up the severed hand and start casting Decompose on it too.
Sam.
I’m going to start backing up shaking my head.
You people are fucked up MATT, He nods Right yeah, I’ll go I’ll leave immediately.
Just please let me go. Travis All depends on how we decide to act as we get out of here.
I’m sure you know a very safe way to the surface.
Yes, MATT Same way.
I come in every day.
Yeah I’ll show you out TRAVIS.
Shall we LAURA? What do we do with him? So nobody sees him.
Sam Must have a bag or something TRAVIS, Just walk out with handless bagged.
Man LAURA Hey Yasha.
What’s in your bag you’ve, been carrying.
Matt It’s, not on her. It’s up in the boat you guys had put in the water.
She goes Mostly just blankets and gold.
Liam I have a cloak SAM Yeah.
We can wrap him up in a cloak and carry him out like we’re carrying some equipment LAURA Okay.
I mean southern accent: Oh all, right, whispering Shit.
I forgot to do the voice.
How do you remember to do that? All the time SAM He doesn’t sometimes MARISHA Algar.
You’re going to be very helpful when it comes to making sure Algar knows who to talk to and the right things to say to get us out right, MATT, Right, MARISHA.
Oh, I’m.
Sorry, Jorge MATT, Jorge He’s still trying to pull away from the horrible slow sucking of LIAM. No, it’s a beak MATT.
Oh the tentacles wrapping around the neck and there’s a slight biting right.
There LAURA I’m, going to pull out my disguise kit and give him a nice little beard and a mustache And an eye patch MATT.
He sits there held to the wall being chewed on by a tiny octopus for the next 30 minutes.
While you roll Okay roll for your disguise kit, LAURA, I’m proficient with disguise.
So I roll with advantage because I’m MATT Not with advantage, but you get proficiency bonus so roll a d20.
Add your dexterity modifier, LAURA Plus proficiency 20 MATT Algar looks like a weirder uncle of Algar, who could probably pass for a Jorge sure, yeah, But he looks different and is missing a hand, so it’s, definitely not Algar TRAVIS Jorge any traps contraptions.
We should be aware of, as we’re heading out, MATT No, no traps.
There are some lockdown failsafes, but it’s not much help at the moment.
Travis. How far away is the other container for the other? I assume creature.
Under the same restraints.
We saw here He mentioned going to free his compatriot LAURA His partner in Port Damali Fjord TRAVIS.
Oh, I thought there were two under Nicodranas LAURA.
I bet it’s his partner in Port, Damali MATT.
He gives you a look that doesn’t nod, but you can see from his recognition that you hit the nail on the head: LAURA See The accent it makes me smarter TRAVIS.
I was okay with the rolling blackouts in Nicodranas, but two cities.
I feel a little worse about A little worse.
They’ll figure it out.
Marisha The whole eastern seaboard is shut down. Travis There’s a mage tower that goes up and down This place will be fine TALIESIN.
They’re over investing in genie based power systems, MARISHA Technology, yeah, TRAVIS.
Well, Jorge, why don’t you show us the way out MATT.
He looks to Beau to be let up because he’s still being pressed MARISHA.
Oh, I know it’s.
So obnoxious, when someone has their hands on you and you don’t want it.
Isn’t it.
Okay, let’s go laughter MATT.
He gets up grunts Still looking over the missing hand and back at the rest of you and begins to slump his way further down the hallway where they were heading to exit.
You’re following him down this path. He’s using a small torch that he lit for light to make his way down here and as he leads you through, it opens up into a few other small chambers that have some tables and chairs There.’s a number of weapons, close quarter, smaller weapons for any combat that may take place in a tunnel.
There’s a small sketch with charcoal or some sort of a darker chalk on the wall that outlines the layout of the Sluice Weave for those that are coming in to see where they’re trying to go and get to LIAM.
I take a good long look at it LAURA I draw a dick on it LIAM Great now.
I have to remember that as well.
Matt Yeah yeah, you do It’s, part of it now TRAVIS Pre, dick or post dick LIAM It’s in.
Is it in MATT There you go Eventually, he leads you to a spiral staircase that goes upwards.
There are two sets of iron barred doors.
He has the keys to.
He opens them leads you in You.
Do notice, on the way through there are a couple of archways leading from chamber to chamber where there are gated portcullis doorways that would collapse down. There are switches on the opposite side as a means of defense.
If things were to go wrong to back up Once you have them under your control, he has no means of doing so, and you watch him very carefully Heading up the spiral staircase.
It leads you to a trap door that a stair leads up to.
He pushes it open quietly and it leads you into a small office.
It’s got a small desk.
It’s got a stool, it’s got some odd stacks of paper looks like there’s a quill and an inkwell, a second unopened inkwell.
There’s some partially melted candles that aren’t lit at the moment, and there is a door that exits.
He unlocks that door TRAVIS Just a moment.
We’re going to need those keys TALIESIN.
I’m going to grab the ink too LIAM And rifle through the papers on the desk TRAVIS. Now I’m sure it goes without saying that once you leave this place, if you yell or act a fool in any way, we will tear you asunder before you can say: Ow MATT, I understand LIAM.
Do you still look like him? Travis Yeah, LAURA Wait! Wait wait.
Is this your office MATT? This is my office.
Yeah LAURA These people will know this.
Is your office MATT, The few that I work with? Yes, LAURA Got it.
Thank you southern accent.
I mean got it.
Thank you, SAM Caleb.
Did you find anything LIAM? I don’t know: did I find anything MATT Make an investigation check LIAM Ja, okay, Ooh, ten MATT, You glance through quickly.
A lot of it appears to be notes on repairs on how best to organize the time that the marid has. There is an actual breakdown on how often it can summon elementals and control them.
You find some things that talk about a marid defense of the city, meaning there is a plan in place that if ever the city were under attack from the sea, that it was one of their secret weapons to defend the city from ships That’s.
The most you can find Those are all surface things that you see on the desk, The rest of it doesn’t seem to make much sense or pertain to anything important to you, LAURA Jorge Sorry, TALIESIN Go ahead.
No LAURA Are any of these southern accent Are any of these letters written by you MATT A few of them.
He points to a couple LAURA.
I’m, going to take one and study it LIAM.
Are you right handed or left handed MARISHA? Well now he’s right handed LIAM, But two hours ago, were you right handed or left handed MATT.
I was left handed MARISHA Ooh TRAVIS That’s a bitch SAM.
He’ll never play piano, LAURA Hey! I’m left handed TALIESIN.
I’m looking for anywhere where there might be a secret stash or something that looks off kilter or a little odd in here somewhere, where he might be hiding something MATT Make an investigation check. Taliesin Six, No MATT Looks like an office TRAVIS.
What do you guys think I feel like I need to partake on this voyage today, Don’t, you think, MARISHA, Hmm TRAVIS, Almost ASAFP Right, MARISHA, The weather’s kind TRAVIS.
It was a nice day earlier.
Marisha Seize the moment, LAURA Walk him out and make sure that he gets on the boat TRAVIS.
You want to do that LAURA.
Well.
I got to write some shit in this office, but it’s up to y 39, all SAM, Maybe Beau, and myself could go MARISHA.
Maybe our tortle friend here can leave a little note in your stead, says that you’re moving on MATT.
That’s, fine MARISHA, Are there any favorite buzzwords of yours, Something that would sound like you, SAM? How do you normally sign letters MARISHA laughing A lodestar SAM? Are you a Sincerely person or a Love, Love Algar MATT.
His stare is far off in the distance. He is looking down the barrel of a gun and a complete shift in his life that he wasn’t expecting to take immediately.
His responses are very one word and very No TRAVIS.
Shouldn’t have been a dick SAM.
Well all right.
I’m sure it’s, probably a Sincerely LIAM.
It’s very sad, So sad that he had to sit down and write a letter about how he had to leave the city and how he had to free the creature beneath the city, because it was so wrong.
Laura Don’t tell him all those things.
I totally plan on doing that shit Get out of here before talking about LIAM.
He’s, leaving LAURA teeth.
Clenched Get out. Marisha.
Okay, we’ll, go We’ll meet up with you, guys, LAURA Yeah.
We’ll, see you back at the mumble SAM Sure, tortle MATT.
You escort him to the wharf As a sailor.
You know specifically who to talk to to secure passage under the table.
Where do you want to send him SAM? I don’t know anything about the outside world, Where’s far MARISHA Yeah TRAVIS.
Where LIAM I was joking, I said: Glintshore MATT laughs, It’s a good summer stay away.
Liam Lay out on the glass LAURA Somewhere in Tal’Dorei MARISHA Yeah Marquet is far It’s very far.
Sam.
I heard a traveler talking about Whitestone TRAVIS. I don’t think it has a shore SAM.
I don’t know.
I just heard about it.
I don’t know anything about it: MARISHA There’s Stilben, Which was on the coast MATT Yeah that’s, one of the major coastal cities on the eastern side of Tal’Dorei.
Liam I hear Opash has a sweet Airbnb on an island TRAVIS, Let’s send him to Marquet MARISHA Marquet Marquet.
It is SAM That’s where Adella’s going TRAVIS There.
You go MATT All right Because it’s a longer journey.
It’s a little more expensive, but you can secure passage for him to Marquet, for we’ll say 20 gold MARISHA, I’ll sponsor that journey.
Travis Nice LAURA Want to give him a little spending cash Make sure he’s not completely destitute.
When he gets there TALIESIN That seems nice MARISHA Did we take the money that was on him SAM? I may have taken the money that was on him TRAVIS. You want to put back one of those platinums SAM Sure.
Here you go Jorge Here.’s, one platinum MATT.
This is very kind of you.
Sam And five copper laughter, MATT, The beard’s peeling a little bit.
He’s just staring at the coin in his palm TRAVIS.
Let me get that part slap MARISHA God we’re mean LAURA.
He was a bad person.
We didn’t kill him TALIESIN.
No, you let him live That’s.
Really! Nice MARISHA Thanks Deuce SAM. We’re going to try and take him to Adella or just any boat TRAVIS Any boat, MATT Adella leaves in little under a week.
You can secure passage today on a small ship that’s heading back to Marquet.
You send him off on his way.
You wait another hour or so to make sure the ship disembarks and he doesn’t abscond from the ship itself.
You watch as it begins to make its way towards the horizon, and you feel confident that he’s not going to be coming back anytime soon, TRAVIS That ring of keys that he gave us approximately.
How many keys are on that thing? Matt, Eight LAURA! I need to write a letter about okay.
What should I say? I hate this city.
I want everyone to suffer what I feel in my heart LIAM I’m sick of you, people pushing me around LAURA.
I’m sick of all you people pushing me around.
I’m, freeing this djinn and I’m setting sail for another land. How about all of that? Travis? Yes – And I plan to betray all of the city’s secrets to your foes.
If I ever return, It’ll be very smart to kill me on sight, laughter LAURA That’s, probably good LIAM It’s.
Maybe it’s gilding the lily, perhaps LAURA Okay! Well, What if I just write Ha ha ha, I’m.
So glad you guys are going to suffer.
I got away scot free LIAM Lots of middle fingers.
You’ll, never catch me alive.
Your city is shit SAM.
I’m going to burn all of my fellow guards with a large Fireball first laughter LIAM.
We can take care of the guards SAM.
They’re, going, find some charred bodies and stuff LAURA. If the djinn got away, then maybe the djinn did it LIAM A water creature SAM How’d that fire happen, though MATT Here’s a question: Did you dismiss your specter or do you have a TRAVIS? I didn’t dismiss it MATT, As you guys are MARISHA It’s just running around in terror MATT, As you’re, leaving the area right behind you is this ghostly groaning? What do you do with it? Travis You mean, as we go outside outside MATT Yeah It’s following you, TRAVIS Go back inside the room.
Matt You guys begin to watch as that same drowned.
Specter is now coming back behind you groaning TALIESIN, Oh god, I Turn Undead MATT.
It turns right around and runs off a bit SAM Wait Turn Undead really just turns an undead around TALIESIN.
Yes, It’s, Turn Undead MATT.
It’s, frightened of him and runs away LIAM.
It’s like a remote control car that spins LAURA.
Unless you’re high enough level and then it pop TALIESIN, I’m, not quite at the pop it.
It’s too strong for me to pop right, MATT, Correct It.
Doesn’t last a long while A short time passes and it just LAURA. So I’m writing this letter And I’m leaving it in his office yeah LIAM Yeah, we’re still in the office.
Are we not MARISHA? Technically, we left You three are here LIAM While Jester is writing.
I would like to flip this office for anything of value MATT.
You already have LIAM.
Oh just the papers MATT! Well, you checked around for anything that would be interesting, so LIAM Excellent TALIESIN.
Well, I have a thought LAURA What TALIESIN, What if he accidentally lost control of the creature and then ran MATT groaning noises TALIESIN, Ah Turn Undead laughter MATT, How many Channel Divinities can you do TALIESIN, I might be out.
I was about to say don’t.
I have, I might be out MATT, I feel like you were out last time We’ll say you took a short rest, but It’s wandered back in the chamber and it’s.
Looking at Fjord groaning TALIESIN, Oh yeah.
No, I’m out LAURA. Do we have two Channel Divinities or just one at this level, Then I Turn Undead TALIESIN.
Thank you.
Matt Turns around and starts walking away MARISHA.
I really feel like you could do something about this TALIESIN.
Maybe he ran away because doesn’t want to be held accountable for his actions.
Laura! Oh, that’s.
True.
What do you guys think? Okay, Deuce has a really good idea.
Maybe instead of we say, Go fuck yourself and all of that.
What if we say It?’s, really strong. We have this version of his letter right here.
Liam Draft number two LAURA Draft number, two, Oh no.
I lost control of the genie, and now I am so scared.
I’m running away TALIESIN.
He strikes me as the sort of person who doesn’t want to be held responsible LIAM.
If you were fleeing in terror, would you stop to write a letter TALIESIN? That might be his attempt to say I did this.
I’m.
Sorry, bye kind of thing, TRAVIS.
Remember we don’t want anybody to like him when he comes back TALIESIN.
Well, they’re. Not there are people dead down there, MATT ghostly groaning The specter returns, as you guys are having this conversation LAURA.
Ah, I can’t do anything.
I try to attack it.
Matt All right Go ahead and make an attack roll LAURA.
I’ll Sacred Flame him MATT, Okay, MARISHA! Do you guys remember in Tomb Raider 2, the butler that you had MATT, That’s 12? So it takes damage That’s? Basically, what this is LAURA? Oh, That’s, 11 11 radiant damage MATT 11 points of radiant damage All right impact groaning TALIESIN! Oh god, Sacred Flame, MATT Success, TALIESIN Three points: MATT, It’s not attacking anyone LAURA.
Oh it’s, not MATT It’s not assaulting you guys It’s just standing there and taking the hits and looking in pain.
It keeps looking for Fjord ghostly groaning TRAVIS, You can go MATT It disperses into shadow and vanishes MARISHA.
We’re time.
Jumping SAM Me and Marisha are took Jorge to the docks, with the promise that Fjord would come later and join us LIAM, But he was the one that had all the sailor tricks to get the boat MATT.
This was me realizing that this is what would have happened earlier, so we’re taking care of it now. Okay, Because this would have been following.
I forgot about the specter briefly earlier, and this would have happened TALIESIN I like that.
Just takes responsibility for everything that happened down there LAURA I like it better when he’s, saying Fuck yourself, TALIESIN, Oh, that’s fair too MATT.
I appreciate that they’ve completely glossed over this scenario, TALIESIN That’s very fair, yeah LAURA.
I think we should stick with the go fuck yourself version and say I intentionally he intentionally.
Let him go and he knew that he was going to fuck over the city and run LIAM.
I agree with you Jester.
I think we should stick with Go fuck yourself, LAURA Okay, Sincerely SAM I mean I don’t know if I’m really here right now so MATT, We’ll say that you guys are all together: SAM Okay, that sounds good TRAVIS Christ.
It’s a letter, just fucking write it and send it LAURA.
I’m leaving it in the office Fjord TRAVIS, Okay, LIAM! Maybe something like choke upon your woe, LAURA Choke upon your woe LIAM Or eat fecal matters LAURA Or eat. Fecal matter, question mark Signed, Algar laughter, MATT, Go ahead and roll for your forgery kit LAURA With proficiency MATT With proficiency so d20, plus I’ll say this is for intelligence.
Sam.
Do you want to look at the dodecahedron first, LAURA? Oh yeah? I do.
I do SAM Before you write this letter.
Let’s time jump again Before you write the letter LAURA.
I focus MATT.
Okay, so you have a fragment of possibility LAURA.
Depending on how I roll, I can roll again LIAM Take a hit of the dodec LAURA Ooh That’s dexterity, plus proficiency MATT.
I’m saying because it’s a forgery and it’s having to pay attention to details.
I’m going to say intellect Intelligence, LAURA Really MATT Yeah LIAM. Did you roll twice LAURA? No, I didn’t roll twice.
Okay, MATT You don’t have to roll twice You don’t have to spend it.
If you don’t want it LAURA, Oh, I’m going to spend it just in case Proficiency.
Bonus is just your initiative Where’s your proficiency, MATT Plus three, I think LAURA So 22 MATT 22, Pretty good forgery.
You’re, proud of yourself.
It looks pretty spot on based on his handwriting.
You,’ve, followed his cadence his sentence structure.
His signature looks incredible.
Sam The dicks look like his dicks TALIESIN.
I’m impressed by the dicks actually LAURA. Thank you.
Thank you All right.
I’m leaving this on his desk SAM, Should you put it on the door with like a dagger, LAURA Ooh TALIESIN With his dagger SAM With his I left his dagger Shit.
I could go back down the hall and get it LAURA.
No, I’ll just maybe tape it SAM.
I have extra daggers.
Do you want a dagger? I have three extra daggers TALIESIN.
Oh, he had a quill didn’t he MATT Yeah LAURA With a quill SAM Yeah Through the paper MATT I’ll say with your strength.
You can easily do so.
It will break the quill technically, but it still pierces it to the door. There.
You go LIAM Angry writer, LAURA It’s, pretty threatening it’s, a feather, MATT Cool, so the letter is complete and placed LAURA.
Should we go down and escape the other way? So nobody sees? Oh, I guess you guys already left SAM.
We already left.
We’re taking Jorge to the docks right TRAVIS.
No, we’re all back together now, SAM Did we go to the docks MATT? Yes, we’re.
Okay.
This is my fault for forgetting one feature earlier and trying to fit it into the narrative here Order of business.
You arrived you forged a letter, LAURA We forged it MATT.
You saw a weird undead thing again that was following you and then Fjord made it go away with a hand wave. You then took Jorge to the docks and sent him on his way.
Sam Great.
Now, where are we On the docks? Matt? You guys are near the docks you’ve made your way out SAM.
What do we do with Jorge? I’m kidding laughter TRAVIS.
Well, I feel like that kind of went about as well as it could have MARISHA Yeah TALIESIN.
I think I should go get the boat MARISHA Yeah TALIESIN, I’m, going to head towards where we anchored the boat MATT.
Okay, It’s.
Still there floating, You can see there’s, one fisherman who’s eyeing it.
Curiously TALIESIN.
I’m going to cast Calm Emotions on myself and go swim to the boat MATT. Okay, You go ahead and make your way out get up on the side of it and begin to row yourself back to the edge of the dock.
There not far away is the old fisherman you had spoken to earlier that you had borrowed it from You gather your things out of it and he comes over and is like.
Well, I appreciate you bringing this back TALIESIN It’s, no problem.
I think I’ve had enough ocean for a while.
That was MATT.
No such thing.
No such thing’TALIESIN Have a good day.
Matt You too tall one TRAVIS.
What do we do now? Marisha? I turn around and I look at the city.
Do I notice commerce, Does it look like things are slowing down MATT Make a perception check LIAM? Are we now Bane MARISHA? Well, that was a garbage roll Seven That’s terrible MATT. It looks like the city I mean at this point.
In the day it’s getting a little later.
The sky is starting to get a bit.
Maybe the oranges of dusk are starting to peek in a little bit.
You maybe have another hour or so of daylight MARISHA.
Do I see Merpol anywhere MATT Make a perception check, TRAVIS, See who MARISHA Merpol that guy that I flirted with 11 MATT? Currently, no, You don’t see him anywhere MARISHA! Thank god All right, SAM! We could go back to Jester’s, mom and report.
We could go to that tower and investigate it.
Travis We could do both SAM.
We could TALIESIN, I’ll admit I’m a little tired, LAURA That’s.
True TALIESIN. That was a lot MARISHA.
We also wanted to check in to Did we want to try and be at the docks at midnight, SAM, Oh, to meet Marius MARISHA.
Yes, He hangs out at the docks at midnight and does Marius know Sabian and Cadmus LIAM That’s unclear at this point.
Isn’t it MATT Yeah, you don’t know LIAM.
Do you have that letter by the way? Who has that MARISHA? The letter LIAM The letter that mentions Marius LePual LAURA, Is he there every midnight or just tonight, midnight MARISHA.
I don’t know LAURA, Because if we wait until tomorrow, I can Zone of Truth him, MARISHA Orly said he likes to hang out around the docks.
At midnight to look for work or something LIAM Caleb would’ve remembered that too I don’t, though MATT Yeah, I mean occasionally he’s out there looking for work That’s as much as Orly knew TRAVIS Sabian was MATT Marius, MARISHA Sabian.
We’ve heard about through Orly right MATT, No Sabian, you heard about through Fjord MARISHA Through what TRAVIS Me MARISHA Yeah, but didn’t we talk to like Captain Adella and someone else.
Someone gave us the news MATT.
You got some information about Sabian. Yes, MARISHA That they were doing the Widow’s Embrace thing and that they’re pirates, MATT Yeah, that was through Captain Adella MARISHA, That was through Adella, okay, Okay, okay, okay, sorry, TRAVIS, Let’s make our way back towards the under his breath.
Jesus Christ MARISHA Lavish Chateau TRAVIS Yep.
I’ve got to take more organized notes.
Maybe we can stop by the fancy tower on the way back LIAM.
I am very interested in that tower, but I would love to ask some more questions around town before assailing.
It TRAVIS Sure About what time is it MATT It’s close to dusk, About an hour of daylight left TRAVIS Right.
You said that SAM.
Do we go towards the Lavish Chateau, LAURA Yeah? Let’s go tell Mama what we did.
Sam Yeah MARISHA.
We’ll go to the Lavish Chateau and we’ll just walk by the tower on our way back to give it another look, see MATT. Okay, It’s a little bit of a roundabout walk, but you can do it All right.
So you make your way back to the Open Quay Heading towards the tower you can see as you approach based on whatever illusory enchantment finds your vision.
You can see as it seems to grow the closer you get to it to the point where it’s.
Massively towering, when you’re right below it, Still no sign of a door at first glance, You still have the 20 foot up or so balcony and a few other windows up that way You can see the top two windows have now that it’s.
Gotten darker, you: can there’s a little bit of a firelight glow at the very top of it LIAM Have I ever read about anything like this? A building that seems to shift in size MATT Make an arcana check LAURA.
Can I look around and see if the city seems like it:’s being affected at all by the no power MATT Make a perception check LIAM Ten MATT Ten, You assume it’s either some sort of spatial enchantment to it or it’s an Illusion, maybe That’s as much as you can make out from it.
Liam Okay, LAURA whispering Natural 20 MATT Natural 20, The city, doesn’t appear to be heavily changed by any means LAURA.
I think it’s, fine MATT! You do notice that where previously there were some plumes of white smoke or steam that rose from certain more industrial aspects of the city are much thinner appearing to be more residual columns of steam and smoke LAURA, Oh God, oh God, oh God, SAM, We’ll, Be fine TRAVIS, No bigs MATT, You’re at the tower The Tide Peak Tower Anything you want to do.
Travis I’m tapped.
I can’t do anything SAM. You boys just wanted to come.
Look at the tower again because you, like it TRAVIS Yeah LIAM Don’t look at me.
Marisha, I mean kind of We wanted to see if it changed or if anything’s different or if we see a mysterious figure in a window SAM There’s, no windows, TRAVIS It doesn’t bother you that it grows taller as you get closer.
Sam, It’s, pretty freaky TRAVIS, No doors LIAM.
Oh it’s fascinating.
We learned that whoever owns this place owns the district isn’t that correct MATT, Yep LIAM.
So someone in this district probably knows something about the person who owns the district MARISHA.
It’s Yussa Errennis, right, MATT, Yussa, Errennis, SAM, Hey, Caleb, LIAM Yeah SAM, You memorized the map of the underground pathways right LIAM Correct SAM.
Do any of them run under this tower LIAM? Well, there was no marking for a tower SAM.
Using your spatial Beautiful Mind techniques, LIAM No idea, MATT Make an intelligence check to see. If you can overlay the memory of the sketch, you saw with the location in the Quay LIAM Just raw intelligence, MATT Yep LIAM – That is a 16 MATT 16.
You feel, like you,’ve, been able to take the two and map them together.
Pretty well, Nothing passes directly beneath the tower.
No, The Sluice isn’t a wide network.
It’s a handful of deliberately placed tunnels to make their way towards specific parts of different districts.
Liam That diagram wasn’t elaborate enough for me to know the answer to that: MARISHA: Okay, Let’s go to the Lavish Chateau.
Sam Mm, hmm MATT! All right By the time you make it to the Lavish Chateau.
It is sunset The last bit of light that vanishes over the horizon far over the ocean, the Lucidian Ocean.
In the distance.
You make your way to the interior, where a number of folks have finally gathered. Maybe a handful six or seven people are already in there enjoying meals having drinks.
You know that there isn’t a performance tonight, but people are in there enjoying the relatively comparably classy atmosphere as the familiar band plays their music.
What do you want to do LAURA? I also used another Disguise Self spell to make sure I stay.
Matt Good call LAURA Tortley SAM.
Are we just here to see your mom LAURA Yeah probably should tell her LIAM.
I spiffed up my clothing again as well: MATT, Okay, SAM.
How do we get upstairs with you all tortley LAURA Just go upstairs SAM All right.
Let’s go upstairs LAURA Okay, I go upstairs MATT All right.
You guys make your way up to the third flight.
You missed him last time, but you come upon the familiar sight to you, which was your mother’s, personal bodyguard. For half of the time at the Chateau Bluude LAURA Bluude MATT, Which was also responsible at times to watch you and escort you when you went to the city, The rest of you are caught off guard by the sight of this massive dual horned minotaur TRAVIS.
Oh shit, MATT Wearing a very, very fine shirt, but is Donald Ducking it the rest of the way, Thankfully, relatively thick thick fur down there.
You’d have to pry to get a good look But is standing there, arms crossed and goes Oh Jester.
He comes over and picks you up.
Actually, no, he wouldn’t recognize you because you’re a tortle, LAURA Doesn’t.
He know that I am Jester still MATT, Probably not Not unless you say anything, LAURA Bluude, it’s me MATT.
Now we go into the Oh Jester There we go that’s.
The moment LAURA.
My tortle eyebrows are going like this MATT Right right LIAM This one’s name is Bluute LAURA.
His name is Bluude LIAM, Not Bluute, but Bluude MATT, With a D LIAM With a D, okay, LAURA We’re here to see Mama MATT. Of course I assume that is the case He knocks on the door.
At that point, the door opens up a bit and peeking through is the Ruby of the Sea Marion, whose hair is perfectly curled even without an evening performance.
She smiles at the sight of all of you at the door and looks curiously at the large skirt faring tortle, Hello, LAURA Hi.
Do you have company MATT, Not at the moment? No LAURA.
Can we come in and talk to you for just a second MATT? Oh Jester Hi Yeah, please do come inside.
Everyone Come on.
You all make your way into the chamber.
Laura.
I’ll drop the disguise spell once we’re inside MATT, Okay, She shoos out her servants and the door closes SAM.
Oh This is Yasha. Has she met Yasha, LAURA whispering? This is Yasha MATT.
She has not She’s like, Oh, my goodness.
It is so nice to meet you Yasha.
She shakes her hand and Yasha awkwardly Hi and looks to the rest of you and leans towards the back wall and crosses her arms, Not one for social graces, necessarily but seemingly looking at Marion, looking at Jester looking at Marion and can see, the relation Marion sits Down in front of her mirror and her little table set up in the corner, spins back towards the rest of you Welcome back.
There is no performance tonight I apologize, but if you would like us to provide food for you or whatever you like, please do not bother to.
Let me know LAURA, So you know that guy MATT There are a number of guys that I know yes, LAURA The guy that was bugging you MATT Algar.
Yes, LAURA.
We went to go talk to him, but he had already left MATT.
He left LAURA.
Yes, he had fled the city. Apparently Things happened.
They were real bad or something I don’t know MATT Huh Well.
That may very well be a great turn of luck.
In my benefit.
Definitely Thank you for looking into that LAURA, Of course, Yeah.
We were going to talk to him and everything, but he is gone so MATT.
Well.
That makes me feel more comfortable.
Thank you very much, LAURA Of course MATT.
I appreciate it LAURA. Do you guys want to eat anything, sounds of agreement MATT Very well.
I will ensure that you are all properly taken care of this night clapping twice.
She goes ahead and brings the servants back in A meal is placed for the rest of you and as the evening progresses, and you take a bit of time to rest MARISHA Like a short rest, MATT Yeah go ahead and take a short rest.
You guys manage to enjoy probably one of the better meals you’ve had in a while SAM Jester.
Why did you lie to your mom MARISHA Yeah, LAURA Is my mom.
Still in this room, SAM, We’re, whispering.
She can’t hear us LAURA.
Look here,’s.
The thing MATT, You guys are eating downstairs: They’re not bringing room service up into her chambers LIAM, Oh, so we’re no longer with Marion MATT.
Not at the moment. No LIAM, Okay, LAURA Look! I don’t want her getting in trouble for anything that happened SAM.
Why would she get in trouble? We did it LAURA.
I don’t know The less.
She knows the better.
What if she found out something – and she judged me for it, because we did something bad SAM? What if she finds out you lied to her and judges you for that LAURA She won’t.
Why would she find out LIAM? You know I had the same thought Really either she believes Jester and no big deal or she doesn’t believe Jester and knows that it’s taken care of SAM.
You should never lie to your mother LAURA.
Well, I usually don’t.
It’s just to protect her.
It is a white lie, SAM All, right MATT, You hear the heavy footfalls of Bluude, making his way down the stairs and goes and finds a corner just to keep an eye. Then Marion now dressed in her casual evening, gown, which in itself is still regal and beautiful and trails behind her up the stairs as she descends, comes to join you at the table and sits She smiles at the rest of you and gives a renewed nod to Yasha whom she just met Well, I am very happy to see that you’ve made a good group of friends.
A travel family.
Just warms my heart, TRAVIS Yeah, MARISHA, Yeah MATT Is everything all right.
Marisha Yeah LAURA! Oh no! Is it bad? What did I do? Was it bad SAM You, didn’t do anything.
No.
This is very good.
Liam Jester feels like that.
Perhaps she is imposing bringing all of us here and we are trying to convince her that that is silly MATT, Not in the slightest Jester.
This is no imposition.
I’m just happy to have you home for a bit LAURA. I’m happy to be home for a bit MATT.
How long do you intend to stay? Laura? Oh well, I don’t know We’re here for Fjord really, so it’s up to him TRAVIS That’s not true.
This is your home: It’s where you’re from LAURA Weren’t you trying to find out about the guys TRAVIS Yeah.
We have time LAURA Fjord, swallowed, a ball and it’s inside of him now and he doesn’t know what’s going on so TRAVIS.
We’re going to tell the truth about that MATT.
I have a friend who had a similar problem years ago.
If you would like there is a physician, we could have take a look at you and see if we can a way to no longer have that problem.
Marisha, Oh man.
I want to hear that story.
Travis, I would be glad to LAURA Mama it’s, not that kind of ball. He swallowed SAM.
You had a friend that swallowed a stone LIAM Frau Lavorre.
You have such a lovely daughter, She’s so charming and such a spitfire.
It has been such a pleasure to get to know her.
I’ve been curious for weeks now, almost months.
I think it’s been almost months what she was like as a child, because she’s such a joy now MATT, Ah young Jester, was rambunctious curious, ever running off, getting into well trouble and finding trouble making trouble.
For me it was a joy.
She was very quick to learn ever smiling brightening any chamber she walked into.
She had a good sense for who needed to be taken down a peg LIAM, So she was always a prankster MATT, Very much so more so around adolescence.
I think LAURA Yeah, I guess so MATT, But she has always been sweet, inspirational, LAURA, Very sweet, see I am very sweet, MATT Very proud of her MARISHA. Do you have any good, embarrassing stories? Matt, Yes, but not anything! I can speak of in mixed company.
Marisha, Are we in mixed company MATT? You guys are in the downstairs in the main tavern area of the Chateau MARISHA Right right, LAURA I didn’t get to come down here very much and eat with you.
It’s nice to be able to be here now MATT.
I agree, LAURA Shit, I’m, not disguised fuck.
I need to remember to do this more dice hit the table.
Marisha! Oh no! Sam! Do you want to borrow my mask LAURA? Oh no! I have that other mask that I bought SAM.
What mask LAURA Remember the metal mask that I bought when I was with you.
I’m, going to put it on SAM Yeah that’s good dinner, wear MATT! It’s a big old cast iron tiki mask with giant tusks oof, All right TRAVIS, With tiefling horns and tail coming out of it.
Matt Curious choice, but I understand probably for the best There is not much of a mouth hole, so eating is going to be very difficult, Takes a little spoon and is like All right here.
We go try to make it there. It is Perfect.
You guys talk for a bit.
She shares some embarrassing stories of Jester’s.
Childhood Asks each of you a little bit about your story and we’ll say for the better part of the evening.
It’s an enjoyable respite from the chaos of the day and the chaos of the journey.
Your blink dog has dried, as has your weasel MARISHA.
Oh yeah, Can I go check on Professor Thaddeus MATT? You can and as you go ahead and find there is a coat room essentially where the young man who had originally met you when you got there is inside.
You can see him sitting in the back on a stool going like this.
He’s staring in the far way and there’s a coat rack where Professor Thaddeus is sitting on there staring at him.
As you enter the chamber. Marisha, Hey, MATT, Oh hey, MARISHA Is my bird okay MATT! You can see there’s some scratches on his cheek Yeah.
He’s, fine, Just watching him right there, MARISHA Uh huh, You didn,’t traumatize him.
Did you MATT, I think not Hard to feed these MARISHA Yeah.
I know I grab the food that I just took from my plate and I’m, like Thaddeus, come Thaddeus MATT Roll, an animal handling, check, MARISHA Fuck me Fucking animals.
Why did I do this? Oh, no, Six Fuck that die TRAVIS.
I’m going to have an owl MATT.
He dives towards you and goes right over your shoulder and is now in the middle of the central tavern fluttering.
The leather cord of his leash is now dangling as he’s up in the rafters hooting MARISHA.
I can’t control him.
You guys He has a mind of his own. He’s a free person, MATT Everyone in the chamber’s like there,’re people that are eating who are like What the They’re all staring up at this owl.
That has now found a brief perch up into the roof chamber.
Marisha.
Oh, you’ve all seen an owl before shut up TRAVIS.
I think they’re worried about the whistles MARISHA.
It’ll be fine.
Liam Caleb summons Frumpkin, the octopus and I rub his head.
Like a Bond villain staring at Beau MATT Squeaks like a balloon TALIESIN, I’m going to pull one of the beetles out of my staff and say, Professor.
You want a snack.
I hold it up. Matt You’re, holding the beetle TALIESIN Yeah MATT Make an animal handling check SAM, Oh boy.
There goes your finger: TALIESIN 12 MATT! Eventually, it dives down snatches and a little prick on the finger from one of the talons, but eventually makes a quick meal and heads back up MARISHA.
Sorry, SAM.
What happens if we have to leave and the bird is still here LAURA You can climb up Yeah.
You’re a monk you can climb up to the ceiling: Hey Mama MATT, Yes, LAURA! Will you watch my puppy? Well, it’s me and Beau’s puppy, really MARISHA Yeah LAURA.
Will you watch our puppy while we go out tonight, MATT, Of course, To be honest, I’ve been thinking about maybe having a pet.
So this will be good training.
Laura, Oh really MATT! Well, since you’ve been gone, you know MARISHA.
How do you feel about owls, SAM And a weasel MATT, They’re.
Interesting. Definitely LAURA.
Are you good with puppies, Because this one’s kind of special MATT? I imagine that it is.
How is it special? This sounds like a warning TRAVIS laughing.
This sounds like a warning: LAURA Nugget, Poof SAM, Lift off your mask LAURA.
Oh thank you Nugget.
It’s me Poof, MATT poof.
It appears on your chest and catch it for a second.
She’s like Oh, my LAURA He blinks MATT.
That is as tricky as perhaps the daughter that I have LAURA Aww.
I’m going to tell Nugget to look at my Mama and say blink to her right now. Okay, for as long as we tell you to That’s, home MATT, panting, LAURA Mama, tell him you’re home MATT, You’re home, LAURA! No tell him! You are home, You are his home MATT! Oh, I am your home LAURA That’s.
Good here Be careful, he pees on things MATT Immediately.
She goes Heh and pets him over the table.
Sam.
You got rid of a dog that’s great LAURA.
I didn’t get rid of him SAM Yeah, but we don’t have to have him anymore, so that’s good right, LAURA He’s, still our dog SAM, All right LIAM! Perhaps Nugget could live here and you could visit him when you come home, LAURA, Maybe SAM The weasel and the owl LAURA, No, the weasel’s.
Staying with me.
I know it’s such a temptation.
Sam.
I know I want to eat that weasel. So bad MARISHA Are we going to go down to the docks SAM Yeah? Is it almost midnight MATT Yeah it’s getting close About 11 11 20 MARISHA Yeah SAM.
Let’s go TALIESIN Mm, hmm, MATT, All right MARISHA! I try Professor Thaddeus.
You want to come.
Matt Make one more animal handling check.
Marisha Fuck me Just come to me.
You dick Ooh, that’s a natural 19 22 SAM Whoa, LAURA See He responds when you talk.
Sternly MARISHA Yeah Fucking MATT, Eventually seeing this command flapping comes to rest onto your wrist MARISHA excited breathing.
I mean that’s fucking right LIAM.
Third time’s, the charm MARISHA.
Let’s go SAM. He likes cursing.
I guess TRAVIS.
Is he coming with MARISHA He’s coming with us to the docks, I guess TRAVIS: Okay, yep Good! We’re, inconspicuous with a big fucking, horned owl on your arm MARISHA.
Oh, we’re trying to be inconspicuous SAM.
No, it’s, fine! It’ll be great, He’ll be fine.
He can see in the dark MARISHA Right Exactly TALIESIN.
We can get you a tree costume.
You’ll fit right in LIAM.
We’re fucking Hermione Granger up in this shit TRAVIS.
She had a cat LAURA. I put my hood up.
I take the mask off, but I put my hood up: MATT.
Okay, You guys make your way through the streets heading towards where TRAVIS The SAM, You know The docks MATT Yeah.
Well, there’s the Restless Wharf and there’s the Open Quay SAM.
We were told, maybe one of those MATT The place that you had heard.
This information LIAM Did Orly say specific docks.
Travis, It was the Open Quay right Was where he wanders at midnight.
Marisha.
We were at the Wayfarer’s Cove, Which is in the Restless Wharf MATT You didn’t get any specifics.
He just said near the docks, but you were in the Restless Wharf when you got this information LIAM. Yes, Yes, MATT All right Who’s helming a lookout TALIESIN, I’ll! Do that SAM.
I put up my hood as well.
Liam We’ve got lamplight on the streets to varying degree, MATT Yeah.
There are torch poles set up towards the wharf that are giving a faint bit of light, but other than that it’s, not a full moon, but it’s mostly full, and there’s quite a bit of moonlight coming down over the dock.
You can see it glittering across the water in the center of the harbor.
There are a number of ships quietly set out in that vicinity.
The star clustered sky, completely envelopes the air above you, It’s, a beautiful view, The closer you get to the docks you can hear the sound of waves crashing from out of view, the creaking of wet wood, filling the air as the docks shift and the Number of boats that are currently moored to the center of the harbor creak from side to side as the water comes in Every now and then you see the slow glowing beam of the Lighthouse pass overhead about once a minute or so It’s a very Slow moving pulsing rhythm Now, ships of varying sizes sit across the dock, spread tied to their various posts, all seemingly lightless and lifeless in their slumber.
There’s no one doing any sort of evening work on these ships.
At this hour, You see a handful of zhelezo patrolling up and down the sides of the dock, doing their rounds.
No urgency or direction necessarily Make a perception check. If you don’t mind Clay TALIESIN That’s a 26 MATT 26 jesus.
Okay, then, You LIAM Wise, as fuck MATT, You watch out for one of the westernmost docks of the district to see a shady figure darting between patrols, Watching as the zhelezo will pass and then use that moment to dart across the street and wait for the next Zhelezo to pass and then make their way over to the edge of the wharf.
You see them now ducking near a stack of empty shipping crates and they wait every now and then glancing over when a zhelezo’s not nearby or looking towards one of the darkened ships that is anchored towards one of the dock.
Extensions not that far from one of the docking cranes that’s left still after an evening of offloading from one of the other ships, TALIESIN, Hmm LAURA.
What do you see? Taliesin, I mean it’s pretty quiet Other than that guy hiding over there by the shipping crates there’s really nothing to see LAURA.
Is he blond? Is he a blond? Half elf TALIESIN It’s really dark.
I don’t know Other than that.
There’s, nothing really happening LAURA There,’s a guy darting SAM.
Should I go dart after him, LAURA Ooh TRAVIS? Yes, TALIESIN! Are we playing darts LAURA Wait? Do you want Blessing of the Trickster SAM? Ah, What does that do LAURA? It gives you advantage on stealth checks: SAM Okay, great LIAM Episode, 30, something MATT.
You do watch as a zhelezo holding one of their portable torches and a sheathed sword glances over in the direction of where that shaded figure is Steps towards it and holds the torch up and begins a soft call out Hello. The shaded figure stands up and approaches, hands open, smiling, Getting a better look.
You do see.
Finer elven features a lighter ashy hair that’s short on the sides and flopped in the front who approaches talks briefly, You can’t really hear what they’re saying it’s hushed but puts something into the hands of the zhelezo.
The zhelezo takes a moment nods and then turns around and leaves his post TALIESIN That’s really useful information, LAURA Ooh, TALIESIN, Yeah MATT.
The figure goes and then darts back behind the crates once more and keeps looking over towards that one single ship that’s about 35 or 40 feet from where he’s sitting LAURA.
I wonder what he’s.
Waiting for MARISHA Yeah Looks like someone that’s waiting for a handoff.
If I’ve seen them TALIESIN.
I wonder how much he paid to bribe the guard MARISHA.
Apparently, five gold is a great going rate LAURA That’s. True That’s, what we did MARISHA Yeah TALIESIN Huh SAM, Seeing as there’s no guard, I’m going to dart over towards where he’s hiding, but not right on him or anything across the way.
Matt Make a stealth check with advantage.
Sam Ooh that’s a one That’s slightly better MARISHA Ooh that’s right: SAM Stealth, 17, MATT.
Okay, You make your way over to the side of the docks on the opposite end and there’s a little step up from this edge of the street, and you have a few buildings begin to give way The road ends, and there are bits of it That break off and fall off the short cliffs into the water.
There’s the docking crane to your left on a bigger piece of the dock that’s out of the way, but it’s blocking a lot of the view on this side.
The ship that this figure is focused on and the crates that he’s by on one side You get to the other and keeping quiet You don’t think you,’ve been noticed.
Sam Mm, hmm, Okay, MATT, Make a perception check.
Sam Perception check.
Nine MARISHA Ooh Nine SAM, Yes MATT, You’re waiting, Not much else seems to be going on SAM nervous, chuckle Great Well, I’m ready For anything.
Matt! Okay, You just sit there and wait SAM Yeah, MATT, Okay, The rest of you doing anything LIAM Yeah, While all that was happening, I’m halfway through as a ritual spell casting Find Familiar, so I can change Frumpkin to something else: MATT, Okay, LIAM! I’ll tell you in a minute: MATT Mmkay. You begin casting that Caduceus as this is happening.
There are a few of those torch poles set up and there’s one at each dock nexus The one by that ship, the light flickers out MARISHA Motherfuckers TALIESIN.
Well that’s a thing.
You guys see that MARISHA Yeah, LAURA Yeah, yeah, yeah MATT, You don’t see that and you’re not close enough to hear any of this.
You see, as a handful of figures seemed to have come out of that ship walked across the gangplank and put that torchlight out TALIESIN.
I think something:’s happening LAURA.
What do the figures? Look like MATT Make a perception check for you.
If you want to glance or are you asking Caduceus LAURA, I want to look TRAVIS Pass that 26 LAURA Yeah right.
I can’t tell phone beeping LIAM Sorry Laura LAURA.
I got a 14, I can’t really tell MATT. She can’t make out details, and even from this distance, you can’t make out a bunch because they’re all wearing either full cloaks or half cloaks that end right about just past the elbow Hoods up, Not uniform Patchwork in color and make.
But they’re all obscuring their features intentionally TALIESIN.
They look like pirates TRAVIS.
Should we go out and tell them we’re bearing gifts and shit MARISHA.
I was just thinking that I think maybe a little bit of familiarity with some underground might help the situation.
Travis Yeah Tell them, we’re bearing gifts, and we want to see the captain see what happens.
Taliesin Yeah MARISHA, Okay, I’ll go with you on that TRAVIS All right, MATT Nott, you watch as the figure that’s waiting stands up out of the spot looks around, looks that there’s no zhelezo, currently patrolling at the moment and begins now To step onto the dock and walk towards the figures on the ship SAM, Oh, I will trail behind.
Matt.
Okay Goes and approaches The figures.
There’s now two that have stepped up to meet and you can see now there are a few more that are still in the ship that are watching from MARISHA. How big is this ship? Is it like a ship or like MATT? It’s a fair size, I’d say from tip to end it’s about 50 or so feet Single sail, but a big sail MARISHA Any iconography on the sail.
Matt It’s.
Currently, furled up.
It looks like it’s, a ship that’s designed for speed more than cargo, but it’s a decent sized ship SAM.
The layout of the dock is the front of the ship near the dock.
Is it pulled up? Is it parallel parked MATT? The dock, as you’re walking, continues forward and then it turns a little bit at an angle and there are other ships that are docked There.’s a smaller fishing ship on one side, there’s a rowboat that’s set off in the water there.
It’s facing towards you at an angle and is currently anchored at the edge of where the dock turns to the right.
There is a gangplank set out between that and the dock, where the figures are stepping up.
They’re meeting right where that gangplank is and where that torch was snuffed.
Marisha, Hey, Fjord, You’ve got that fancy armor that helps you float. Do you think? Maybe you could get underneath the docks, Overhear something TRAVIS Yeah.
I like that.
I’ll run and staying a good distance in I,’ll drop off the docks under the water and start swimming SAM SEAL team.
Matt All right Go ahead and make a.
How do I want to do this? Sam That’s, your autobiography title MATT There you go.
I walked into that one Make an acrobatics check for me: Fjord MARISHA, No splash, no splash, Ten points, TRAVIS Five MATT splashing The figures, all of a sudden, all stop and turn as well as the one who was talking and they all look in your direction LAURA.
I use Thaumaturgy to make a dolphin sound MARISHA.
Yes, yes, Yes, queen, yes, SAM Night, dolphins, LAURA dolphin chittering, MATT Thaumaturgy, it’s, not so much an audio mimicry spell, but you can make certain sounds happen.
So I’ll say: roll a performance check, LAURA Aww, seven MATT unconvincing, dolphin, chittering, laughter MATT.
It seems to not assuage their fears and more make them more worried and curious. As to what’s happening, You watch as the two figures.
There start looking over towards the initial figure that you were following and are looking really aggressive towards them.
The figure’s hands are up and are like stammering There’s.
This heated conversation going.
The figures in the ship are getting things at the ready that you can’t see, but it looks like they are very much on guard The two that were talking.
One of them grabs the scruff of the figure and holds him there, while the other one blade drawn begins to approach the edge of the dock.
Where that noise came from MARISHA, I turn to Caleb and I go There.
I threw our engagement ring and our life and I fed it to the rabies dolphins.
It’s over okay, It’s over MATT, Make a deception check LAURA.
I like that. Your ring made a loud splashing MATT, Make a deception check with disadvantage LIAM, Because Caleb is on the ground, going MARISHA Deception with disadvantage.
Okay, 11 MATT, As you give this display the figure with the sword out that was looking for the edge of the water.
Where Fjord was looks over at you and goes with the little bit of features.
You can see a chin, a scruffy beard poking out beneath the hood.
Still with the blade there turns back, gives a hand motion towards the ship TRAVIS I didn’t even ask: how far is the water from the fucking dock Five feet or like 15 feet? Is it a tall dock MATT? Oh it’s about ten foot, TRAVIS, Okay, Sweet! I can’t even get out of this water.
If I wanted to MATT, You can climb up on the cliff.
If you need to LIAM Also has ten minutes gone by MATT? No, When you started this, everyone was going into the you’re.
Maybe three minutes LIAM You didn’t correct me, but I said while Nott was foofing around so some time passed, Five ten didn’t, but you’re the DM SAM.
While this is all going on, I’m going to cast Message and send it to Caleb and say There’s something in the water There.’s.
Some argument happening Something:’s going horribly wrong. Caleb We should get out of here.
You can respond to this message.
Marisha My mom was right.
I never should have gotten involved with you LIAM.
I know that I am so close to the end of the spell and I am going to push through MARISHA Tracy voice.
Look.
This is why, Every time I try to talk to you, you play with your toys.
Matt.
The figure gets within 15 feet of where you’re standing and says: Hey Piss, off MARISHA, Hey, you know what You piss off.
Okay, I’ve had a rough day. I just wanted to be by myself near the ocean.
Matt Closes his fist.
Three arrows get loosed from the ship in your direction That’s a 14 to hit Misses.
I believe That’s, a 19 to hit MARISHA Hits MATT And another 19 MARISHA Hits LAURA Run away.
Tracy MARISHA whispering Never MATT.
That is seven points of damage.
Marisha, I’m going to Deflect Missiles.
Matt Go for it MARISHA.
What do I have to roll for that? Hang on sorry, MATT, It’s, 1d10, plus your monk level, isn’t it MARISHA It’s reaction damage, minus 1d10, plus my monk level.
It just happens right MATT Yeah, you roll a d10 plus your monk level MARISHA Right, but my monk level is MATT Six MARISHA Yeah, so I’m good. I’m going to spend a ki point to send it back at this guy Yeah.
This is happening SAM.
I love that she was having a fight with her boyfriend with a giant owl on her shoulder MARISHA.
He’s, my rock He’s, the only one who understands me: Okay, I’m attacking Natural 20 MATT Ooh, okay, Roll a d6 plus MARISHA.
I thought I got a d10.
It’s, whatever the bolt is back at him.
Matt Right, the arrow is a d6 plus your dexterity modifier MARISHA, Plus my dex MATT.
I believe it’s.
Let me check the rules real fast MARISHA Weapon damage, plus my dex MATT Yeah.
It’s a d6 plus your dex MARISHA, Seven MATT. Seven points of damage You send one back, you hear pained grunt, but at a pretty decent distance, The other one that hit you that’s eight points of damage, MARISHA Deflect Missiles, MATT That’s a second ki point: you spent MARISHA.
No, it’s.
Only a ki point when I send it back MATT Right, but you’ve, already used one reaction, so you have to spend another ki point to get an additional reaction.
Marisha Got you.
I will do that LAURA.
Do you get ki points on short rests.
Marisha.
Yes, I do.
It was seven damage.
You said, MATT Eight points MARISHA. I take one point of damage.
Matt One point of piercing damage MARISHA.
I’m going to spend another ki point to send this one back too MATT.
Okay, go for it.
Marisha 17 MATT Yeah MARISHA, Ah Eight damage.
Matt Is this to the guy that already took an arrow or to another, Because there were three of them that fired at you MARISHA Two at the guy who’s closest to me MATT The same guy gets hit by both arrows At this point, the guy Who had given the order sees you do this and his hand comes down, gives a quick shout over his shoulder Come on, Take them out.
They’ve, seen too much MARISHA, Hey Caleb, LIAM Ja, MARISHA.
They don’t think I’m a dumb, drunk bitch.
It didn’t work LIAM Matt before you run off, for the thing can you describe as Caleb shakes his head out of what he was doing? What do I see? I haven’t paid attention to any of that MATT That’s, what I’m about to show you LIAM It’s going to all be in front of me.
I love this game. Taliesin, It’s as if he knew that this would go horribly wrong, MARISHA That this was going to be bad.
Sorry, guys, Sorry TRAVIS! I’m disappointed in us SAM For what TRAVIS That was the most flounder fucky sneak up ever LIAM Belly flop, shitty dolphin Masterpiece, Theatre MARISHA.

It feels like a misty night, don’t, you think MATT.
No.
I think we’re all right, So you guys were. Actually.
You should be a little further back MARISHA.
It feels like we should have figured this out.
Liam, I assume, Find Familiar, has fizzled TRAVIS.
We should have walked up and said We’ve come bearing gifts.
Where is the captain SAM? That was the first idea MARISHA It was Things started moving quickly, SAM, Oh man.
This is so cool TALIESIN.
This is so badass LAURA.

That was something that should’ve done during the break SAM Yeah.

Where’s the save point, MARISHA Yeah, can we load the latest save file TRAVIS? Can we reach in the SNES, push the game up and down MATT There’s, none in view currently, so you don’t know it could be a while until one of them shows up.

Marisha Yeah, but I don’t know what I want to do, though, Waiting for everybody else to run 17 MATT 17 just hits.

If I can MATT Around here, you mean LAURA No around the back of it: MATT, Okay, counting 25 30.

That brings us to Caleb LIAM Yeah, okay, I start moving my hand in an arcane motion and I reach back at that building over to my side there and a crate full of food.
A wooden crate starts to jiggle and rockets through the air at the held fool in front of Beauregard.
I’m casting Catapult at third level: SAM Food fight, laughter LIAM.

There’s splinters of wood sticking out of his armor.
His jaw is all messed up, The hood gets blown back and you can see the grayish hair that’s tangled and sea air matted that is now streaked with blood from the impact Bits of his face are covered.
In gore, He’s looking pretty hurt. Marisha This guy’s real beefy, though MATT He’s also taken a rough round.
This has not gone well, MARISHA Yeah, but we don’t want to fight all of them, MATT All right, so Caleb that ends your turn.
Liam Yeah MATT.

Why do we have to run Seems like we’re winning TALIESIN There’s more of them SAM.
They’re burning, marijuana MARISHA.
What are they burning, though? Laura We could’ve found out.
If we wouldn’t have been stupid LIAM There’s five people. We can see one dude in the boat down below MATT.

You watch as both Marius and the Enforcer standing on the gangplank.
Their faces immediately go dull as they stare up at this. What you see as nothing, You have no visual perspective on what’s happening, but suddenly they both go slack jawed and stand staring up in the air.
At this empty space, TRAVIS Yeah, they’re incapacitated.
Their speed is zero, But if they take damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of their stupor, then they confused noises MARISHA, You just spiked their drinks, basically TRAVIS Yeah, I’ve bascially Thundercat, Ho’d.

Absolutely. What am I a surgeon? I have a 3rd level spell because I used arcane recovery back at the chateau MATT.
Okay Specify that next time but sure go for it.
I know you would LIAM.
I also took a poop while at the chateau, but I thought I didn’t MATT.
I know that’s, fine TRAVIS.
I hope there’s nobody important in the bow of the ship.
Taliesin There’s so many things that could be going horribly wrong right now, MARISHA Yeah, A bunch of refugees wanting safe passage, SAM Don’t worry Sabian is hanging out below decks LAURA.
Is there any way to see what the name of that ship is? Is it on the side of the ship at all MATT, You’d have to spend an action to look for it.
The name would be towards the back and it’s facing away from you TRAVIS.
He would’ve painted that shit on there. I don’t see it in there MARISHA Everywhere on every panel, LIAM 27 MATT The Enforcer fails, so he takes the full 27 Success, success and failure.
Liam.
I will use my movement to step around the corner of the house and I will begin to count to 20 slowly in Zemnian to calm my nerves, MATT.
You move behind here.
I’m going to roll a saving throw for the ship’s sails, Not bad.
The sails do not catch fire.
They’re charred a little bit from underneath, but the ship isn’t now suddenly a giant burning, torchlight beacon in the middle of the fucking harbor LIAM I don’t know if Caleb is a firebug or if I am MATT.
I know I respect that MARISHA.
I think it’s, you TRAVIS, Hey man.
If you’ve got Fireball MATT That ends Caleb’s go Captain’s dead, Caduceus, you’re up SAM. All the human cargo is dead LIAM They’re, still standing SAM, No, the slaves that were below deck LIAM The guy came out and said, Burn all the slaves LAURA.
No, they said Burn it all TALIESIN Yeah, I’m, going to throw a Healing Word at Beau and I’m going to start getting out of here.
I want to cast Healing Word It’s, not a lot.
No, it’s 60 feet.
Matt Yeah, you’re within range TALIESIN That’s nice.
It’s, eight points MATT There you go eight points to Beau TALIESIN Yeah.
I’m going to start booking out of here MATT, Where’re you going TALIESIN.
I’m heading back around the way.
I assume everyone else is going Yeah that way: MATT Okay, There’s Caduceus Finishing your go: Yasha’s up TRAVIS Yasha’s going to rush up and aid Beau in trying to pull Marius towards the docks.
Matt, Okay, If she wants to, she, can attempt to grapple and then pull him out of Beau’s grip, or we can say she holds her action, and then it gets a little weird because it’s. Movement is what you pull him out of the way TRAVIS.
Would it help make full speed when it comes back to Beau’s turn? If she’s assisting, Can they double pull MARISHA? Can she go and then I assist on my turn, MATT I’ll, allow it TRAVIS Yeah! I guess do you want me to roll to grapple MATT? Yes, because he is resisting amongst her grapple as well, and it’s harder to do that.
Travis 15 plus her natural strength, MATT Yeah, All right.
Now it’s.
Marius’s turn He’s going to attempt to break free now that he’s full of mind and he’s freaking out What’s he? What’s going Make an acrobatics check against your athletics? Technically, since you’re both grappling either you or Yasha can make the check and it’s with advantage.
I’ll say because you’re both holding TRAVIS God.
It’s an athletics check.
What’s her athletics, MATT Strength is plus three and it would be at plus six probably MARISHA.
I’ll do mine since mine’s also a plus six MATT, All right go for it TRAVIS and LIAM Get it girl MATT.
Oh, he almost rolled really high LIAM. Oh, Those are two bad dice rolls MARISHA 11 total MATT.
He does still manage to break free, Yay SAM Something’s going well for Matt MATT.
He’s going to run MARISHA Motherfucking piece of shit.
Why would you do that LAURA Seriously? They had a dagger to your throat, you dick SAM, The ship’s on fire MATT, The ship’s not on fire, but he has no reason to trust any of you and was meeting with these people.
If he’s going to choose between the two, he’s going to step into the ship there.
He’s like panting, gets down low and is hiding, But you know right where he is.
That brings us to the top of the round Fjord.
Your turn, SAM No problem.
We got this LIAM Fjord pulls out the big guns Master plan.
Here it is TRAVIS Yep I’m going to run over here MARISHA. We worked so hard to get him that far TRAVIS counting.
I’m going to stand out here and I’ll unleash two Eldritch Blasts at this Enforcer MATT At that guy You can look and see now he is not the Enforcer that went below deck previously, He’s dressed.
Similarly, but now that you get a better look at this view in the light he’s somebody else, There is still one person down in the ship.
Travis quietly Awesome, great good stuff, louder That’s a 20 MATT That hits TRAVIS 11 MATT.
That hits Roll damage TRAVIS.
Oh nice, okay, MATT Yeah.
He has leather armor.
His AC is 11.
He’s pretty easy to hit TRAVIS 11 points of damage on the first one and ten points of damage on the second, so 22 total MATT Ooh that’ll do it Both blasts.
Take him down. The attrition is not working well in his favor, LAURA inaudible SAM.
Why don’t we say that LAURA whispering, Because I’m not up there and no one else is remembering TRAVIS.
What that we come bearing gifts, LAURA The Captain is what we’re supposed to say: MARISHA.
It feels like we’re really in battle now MATT Caduceus.
You do hear a ways away, not here yet, but you do hear some voices and footfalls armored footfalls.
You get the sense that zhelezo are on their way, TALIESIN Guys we’re going to have problems soon.
We should probably get out of here MATT.
He will say on his turn when he gets there TALIESIN.
Oh no, that’s right.
I’m! Not there yet MATT The bowmen now who’ve been hidden below the deck and have endured the Fireball two of them are going to from their positions, stand up and they’re going to take shots at you arrows firing. They have advantage on both because they were hidden from you, That is a 19 to hit TRAVIS Hits MATT.
Second, one that’s cocked Advantage.
That is a 20 to hit TRAVIS.
It hits Punish me for this horrible fucking, crap MATT.
They have sneak attack because they were hidden from you.
29 points of piercing damage from those two hits LAURA.
Are you still up? Travis? Oh yeah MATT.
The third goes and unfurls the sail and pulls the rope, and it begins to unroll.
A little bit of wind is blowing.
It opens up a bit LAURA. Do we see the sail? Does it have any markings on it? Matt? No, it is fairly plain.
You get the sense that they’re now looking for a way to get out of here.
Ships aren’t the fastest when it comes to exits, but they’re trying.
That brings us to Beau and Nott TRAVIS.
Let them go What the fuck are we going to do, Run and jump on the goddamn boat MARISHA? I was about to do that.
Yeah MATT At the end of their turn, these guys are going to move back as well and attempt to hide again LIAM Fuck, yeah TRAVIS, All right sure go for it, LAURA What You don’t know how many people are on that boat.
Oh, my god.
Matt They’re not very good at hiding, though laughs They rolled really bad, All three of them At once, A one, a three and a four TALIESIN: It’s a shame.
They never roll that way when they’re attacking MATT.
That’s funny. You see them duck down, but they’re all pulling out their arrow and nocking it into the bow, and you can see exactly where they’re hidden.
What’s the plan Beau and Nott LIAM Bone it TRAVIS Do what you were going to do.
Do it MARISHA You go first TRAVIS, Do it MARISHA? Are you going to go for the sail? You could go for the sail, potentially SAM Thought about that MARISHA.
If you could start it, I could maybe rip it.
I don’t know I’m spitballing.
Here I don’t know what to do.
Matt Make your choices guys SAM, We’ve got two bowmen Who’s the guy in black over there, The Enforcer who came up MATT, No, the Enforcer’s dead, Fjord just blew him up on the side.
There’s now only three bowmen on the deck and they’re all hurt really badly from the fireball explosion and they all think they’re hidden, but they’re, not TRAVIS, Go ahead and fuck them up.
Man Go for it SAM, I’ll shit.
I want to use my sneak attack. I will bonus action hide and then from my hidden position I will shoot MATT Move around the side, All right Against which one SAM The guy in black over there MATT Go for it Roll for attack with advantage, because he does not see you SAM, Oh nice, That’s a 23 MATT Yeah that hits so go ahead and roll damage With sneak attack SAM.
That was a good roll TALIESIN.
Oh that’s mean SAM 23 points of damage.
Matt The impact hits him and he falls back and hits the edge of the ship and then tumbles over and splooshes into the water.
Behind You hear no noise SAM.
I will use any movement to emerge from my hidden position and move up a bit to behind those barrels.
Maybe so I have a little cover: MATT, Okay, MARISHA, Okay, I’m going to run up and go after these two bowmen.
I guess Fuck me.
What am I doing? Travis We’re all going to die.
Matt You rush running across the gangplank. As soon as you come to the edge you look down and there’s, one of the guys who’s about to turn with his bow and goes gasp and sees you MARISHA.
I just roundhouse him to the face.
Matt Go for it: roll for an attack, MARISHA Motherfucker, Ten MATT, Ten misses You go and kick, and the water on the slick deck makes you slip.
You catch yourself and don’t tumble off the side.
Sam You got to wear boat shoes MARISHA.
I haven.’t rolled above a five all night: Okay, LIAM She’s back 24, No 23 MATT That hits You go for one roundhouse and slip using the momentum.
You spin with a lower circle, kick like a sweep kick, which is about head level with him.
Marisha Eight damage MATT Eight points of damage That’ll do it.
The bowmen don’t have a lot of hit points SAM, They’ve been burned badly MATT, He groan and then falls unconscious onto the deck of the ship.
Marisha. Do I have enough? Can I get the other guy MATT? You do have enough movement, you have 15 feet more, so you leap down onto his crumpled unconscious body and his other friend is going to pull back to try and take a shot while he’s backing up towards the back portion of the ship MARISHA.
I go Melee range, you can’t, do it And then a 19 MATT That’ll hit Go ahead and roll damage, MARISHA Big money, Okay, Nine Die Die MATT, And so he You impact sound and he falls unconscious onto the ground MARISHA.
I turn to Marius and I say The Gentleman sent us Gentleman You a Gentleman MATT.
He’s like startled gasping, Make a persuasion, check, MARISHA, Really MATT Yeah TRAVIS.
We need to get onto the boat and get out of here.
Matt You just killed or beat unconscious the guys he was coming to meet LIAM.
We just flip this.
We’re going to jack this fucking boat and get out of here MARISHA Seven MATT.
Seven.
He right now is looking panicked and the words aren’t coming through. He thinks maybe you’re calling him a gentleman.
He’s like panicked noises and he’s backing away from you LIAM, Ladies and gentlemen, laughter MATT, All right that ends Beau and Nott.’s turn LIAM Life is disappointing.
Eh MATT! You do hear what sounds like some movement.
The door is partially open to the cabin below and there is light coming from the inside some sort of lantern light.
You hear things being moved around MARISHA.
Can I stand on top of the door? Do I have enough movement to do that? Matt? You have five more feet to get to the door and look beneath, but you don’t see anything yet MARISHA.
I want to tamp it down, stand my full weight on top of it MATT.
Well, the door is on the side, so you’d have to put your weight against it.
Yeah MARISHA, Okay, MATT, You’re up against the door.
That brings us to Jester LAURA. Are we trying to get back on the boat now? Travis? Yes, SAM? Maybe TRAVIS Yes, LAURA Okay! I guess I’m going to fucking like an asshole run towards the boat God.
This is so dumb.
I run towards the boat, but I’m going to as far as I can SAM.
Where are you LIAM Way far away? Sam, We’re going to have to fucking.
Wait ten minutes LIAM.
No, you won’t.
No, you won’t MATT.
You can make an action to dash if you want to get there and do nothing else LAURA.
How hurt are you TRAVIS? I’m fine TALIESIN, You’ve got me too.
I’m still spelled up to all hell, LAURA Okay, I’ll double dash to get to the fucking boat. Marisha Jump Jester jump MATT, You’re, making your way across the gangplank like, oh god, You’re just about to make it to the ship and that’s the end of your bonus dash Caduceus.
You’re up.
No sorry Caleb! Liam! Okay, I see which way the wind is blowing.
I mutter a few arcane words and I cast the spell Expeditious Retreat, which is a transmutation spell, so I will also send a little bit of arcane energy to the Transmutation stone to give myself extra speed as well.
Matt, You can do that LIAM.
I can use my action.
My movement and my bonus action to move full movement at 40, So Vax is back.
Matt Vax is back baby LIAM.
I am now on the boat LAURA.
Oh my lord. He can do it again.
Liam Transmutation spell gets my movement up to 40 Right, laughs, roguishly Action, movement plus now Expeditious Retreat is a bonus, action, MATT Correct.
You can move 80 feet LIAM 40 plus 40 plus 40 MATT.
It’s a bonus action to cast the spell Oh and when you cast the spell and then as a bonus action, oh wow, so it’s a dash action as the spell when it’s cast as well so yeah That’s 120 feet.
Taliesin Whoa LIAM A red blur goes zooming sound and I am standing next to Beauregard on the boat SAM Flash Aah TALIESIN, He’ll save every one of us LAURA.
He went so fast.
He knocked me into the boat MATT.
You do actually Jester tumbles forward into the boat from the sheer force of Caleb zooming sound flashing into the space LIAM.
Are we stealing the boat MARISHA? Oh, we’re all here LAURA! Does anyone know how to fucking drive a boat SAM? No one on the boat does MATT All right.
That finishes. Caleb’s turn MARISHA The guy who’s? Definitely not here LAURA.
Oh, my god.
The zhelezo are going to come MATT From around this corner, MARISHA! Oh no.
We swear.
We’re, not pirates.
Liam Way to build that tension, MATT begin to appear, and now the zhelezo that are coming around the corner are coming forward with torches.
There are more a little further down the way and they’re shouting out What’s going on What is Looking around.
They can see you Fjord, they can see Yasha up on the side and they can see people on the ship across the way.
Sam, Oh no MATT, But that’s their turn.
They’ve acknowledged you and they’re telling you to halt and they’re asking for your attention. Now it’s going to turn to Caduceus’turn.
They do not see you The sound.
You heard you couldn’t quite make out the direction it’s coming from, but you can now hear it coming from around the edge of the street TALIESIN.
I’m going to ponder I’m going to make the sound of a bunch of people panicking and saying Hide everything hide everything MATT With TALIESIN With Thaumaturgy MATT, You’re stretching the cantrip a bit TALIESIN.
No, I thought you can create an instantaneous sound that originates from a point of your choice within range MATT.
It’s a sound like a bird caw.
You can’t create the sound of a whole crowd screaming TALIESIN That’s fair.
That’s fair LAURA, You can do ominous whispers.
It’s listed TALIESIN.
It is listed. I’m, going to make one of the doors on that boat over there.
Slam shut really loudly MATT door slamming sound.
It does so TALIESIN.
I’m going to run and hide behind the map.
I’m going off the map around there.
Yep MARISHA, You’re, going the other way Away from everybody else: SAM, Oh, no TALIESIN! I’m going to just be going MARISHA.
We’ll catch you upstream TRAVIS.
He’s going to go.
Hang with the Ruby LAURA.
We can’t get the boat out of here fast enough before they can catch the boat. Matt All right go ahead and actually no, this would be on their end, TALIESIN, That’ll just be 30 feet, and I’m not running.
I’m walking MATT, It does catch their attention and they look over and the few that hadn’t seen Fjord now look over and see Fjord on the dock as well.
There you go.
They are aware of those that are currently visible on the deck of the ship and Fjord and Yasha over there MARISHA Great MATT That ends it Yasha’s turn What’s Yasha going to do: TRAVIS Yasha’s going to run her ass onto the Boat Double dash.
If she needs to MATT She doesn’t need to With her speed.
She gets onto the ship there TRAVIS Right and she will assume the Dodge whatever in case they throw fire or something at her MATT.
Okay.
That brings us to the top of the round.
Fjord your go TRAVIS I’m, going to Arnold Schwarzernegger from True Lies, run and jump off the dock and dive into the water heading straight towards the boat in a straight line, because my speed is the same on land or in the water, and I will Double dash to the boat LIAM Into the abyss: LAURA Bloop LIAM, Oh man, all in one movement That’s MARISHA That’s rad TRAVIS, I’ll, be like We’re, getting the fuck out of here Shove off MATT As you do that the Guards are going, Hey, Hey Halt and they’re drawing and loading crossbows.
You are not stopping. You are not hailing.
You are not listening to anything, they’re saying They assume you are stealing a ship Which you are SAM, Which we are laughter TALIESIN.
Am I going to be the only survivor in this? This’ll be funny MATT.
The sails are unfurled SAM Sail MATT, It’s still anchored you notice.
As you get to the dock TRAVIS.
Are we tied up too MATT Yeah? They were just starting to get the process going of getting the ship done and there is still somebody down inside rummaging through the interior SAM, We’re off unsuccessful noise, MATT Yeah You as a sailor.
You get there and asses the situation and you’re like This is going to take a little bit to get the boat out of here.
Sam No problem, MATT, I mean through natural means I don’t, know what you have at your disposal, but TRAVIS.
I set the boat on fire and kill us all.
Laughter. Travis Bury our shame MATT All right.
So you’ve taken your dodge action.
All the bowmen are gone.
That brings us to Beau and Nott MARISHA.
I run over and I untie the boat from the thing I undo the rope.
Are we hitched to the dock with rope And anchor MATT Yeah, you’re tied onto the side and then there’s an anchor off the side MARISHA With a cleat or whatever they’re called.
I work on that because I’m, assuming the anchor is heavy MATT, You managed to pull it up, Make a Strength check to see if you can get it all the way up.
Marisha The anchor Okay.
That’s opposite from what I said MATT.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood You go ahead. Marisha I’m trying to undo do.
I also have time to get the anchor up MATT, Not both It’s, an action to untie and get it off the dock MARISHA.
I will focus on untying and getting it off, and then I do the thing that you do where you push on the side of the dock and I try and get us like grunt of effort MATT.
Okay, so you shove off a bit There’s.
Still a good distance, The gangplank is there, so it’s not right up against the dock per se.
There’s not much you can push off of, but you do manage to get it untied MARISHA.
I get it untied The boat’s untied MATT.
All right, Nott LAURA This is the stupidest thing MATT.
This is great.
This is D amp D motherfuckers LAURA The dumbest SAM. So we can’t launch.
We’ve got five or six guards coming at us.
Liam Vox Machina is dead.
Long live, Vox, Machina, MARISHA Yeah, they thought Vox Machina were assholes LIAM Yeah, oh man MATT.
Well, there were a few times that Vox Machina was in this territory LIAM Sure.
But this is our MO SAM Wow, I mean I’ve got to get on that boat right, LAURA Save yourself Run away SAM.
Are there any more moorings or did she get off MATT? She managed to untie it from the dock itself SAM, But the gangplank is holding us on MATT.
No, the gangplank is still resting, SAM, It’s just resting there.
So if we get moving it’ll just fall, MATT, Probably SAM Okay, I’ll dash across the gangplank to get on the boat and jesus.
How do we get rid of these guys, laughter, SAM? I will. How far away am I Ten? 20 30.
I don’t know I’ll cast Silent Image: MATT! Okay, I’ll make an image of that captain guy at the end of the dock, or something trying to hail them down, Not saying anything.

That brings us to Jester LAURA Okay, I’m going to MATT.
You see the guards They’re arming.
Crossbows They’re running towards the dock.
One of them has his hands up, hailing, Hey, hey and is trying to get your attention. What are you doing LAURA I’m going to crouch down and I’m going to cast Invoke Duplicity, MATT! Okay? Where do you want it LAURA Next to me where I crouched, down from I’m, going to have her pop up and run across the gangplank MATT? Okay, Very obviously run over and look like she’s running over here and hiding MATT Okay.

So nobody can see me MATT Good to know LIAM, Hey Matt, that white ring is just leftovers right, MATT! No, that’s the illusion, SAM That’s, the illusory captain that I just made appear at the end of the dock, MATT All right LIAM My turn.
I give the Glove of Blasting a good tug and I send three arcs of fire up into the air and they spiral around each other and crash down onto the dock, about five to ten feet.
Behind that illusion and blast into the dock, LAURA whispers That’s good, MATT, Okay, Go ahead and roll an attack for the AC of wood, which isn’t terribly high, MARISHA The AC of wood MATT.

I will use my movement to zip inside the boat MATT: Okay whoosh You vanish inside the interior of the cabin pushing past Beau, who’s been holding the door shut SAM Wow.
What do you see down there MATT As soon as you come down inside there?’s a lantern and there’s.
One of the Enforcers who you can see is burning papers, gasps MATT.
He turns around and sees you LIAM.
Can I use a cantrip MATT? You have a bonus action, cantrip LIAM, Oh, no! I don’t never mind.
Never mind Getting the hang of it.
Good good, good Done, MATT All right! That finishes your turn.
That comes to the guards, The guards, the one who was putting his hands up and was shouting Hey to hail you and was asking what’s going on has no choice but to assume that you’re destroying the dock and stealing a ship.
Now, Because you are He’s going instead to pull out his heavy crossbow and load it, They’re, going to move up to the side here. Sam, Remember how Jester you couldn’t come back to this town, MARISHA Yeah laughter SAM! Well now we all can’t.
You’re, never going to see your mom again.
Sorry MATT The weird butterfly effect of D amp D actions TRAVIS.
This was just fucked from the first SAM.
We were just going to have a conversation with them.
Matt All right, so the guards are going to go ahead and they’re all going to fire LAURA.
I’m crouched down SAM, I’m hiding as well MATT It’s going to be two against you, Fjord, two against Yasha and one against Marius SAM whispers.
Oh no! What? If Marius dies MATT Against Fjord? That is a 15 and a 17 TRAVIS 17 will hit 15 misses MATT All righty.
You take six points of piercing damage, TRAVIS, Okay, MATT, Both against Jester terrible rolls.
That is a 12 and ten They both just whiff past. Oh, no, those were against Yasha LAURA Yeah because I’m crouched MATT.
They could have seen you, but Yasha was the bigger threat, but it still misses Yasha Last one against Marius misses surprisingly with a natural seven.
He’s just yelps and he’s.
Looking at all this happening, He looks freaked out That’s going to end the guards.’turn Caduceus.
As you are TALIESIN I’m, going to cast Disguise Self.
I’m going to look like a.
I seem to recall I’m, going to make a composite of the most pirate y.
I’ve decided everyone who’s on a boat is a pirate, so I’m going to make the most pirate y drunken old man.
I possibly can.
I’m going to give myself a big white beard: crazy, hair, very unthreatening, buggy eyes. I’m going to continue to circle around the MATT 30.
That gets you just SAM, And that was the last time we ever saw Caduceus laughter LIAM Fuck, those idiots TALIESIN.
I’m figuring.
I’m going to have to find you guys at some point but yeah this.
Is It’s? The only way? I know how to get to the water so LIAM as Caduceus.
That was interesting.
That was really great.
Matt Finds his own adventure laughter TALIESIN.
I don’t have a better way around MATT.
No, that’s it TALIESIN, Unless there’s a window. Unless there’s an open passage on the back of one of those houses MATT There is It’s a closed window, but you could try and break it TALIESIN, Oh no, that’s too MATT.
Okay! So you’re over on that side.
That’s the end of your turn, MARISHA Just add, B amp E to the list MATT.
Why not Just go all in Yasha TALIESIN That’s the best I got right now: TRAVIS.
We want to pull up the anchor or are we moving yet MARISHA? I only unfurled so if Yasha can yank up that anchor, that’d be dope MATT All right, so Yasha goes over to the side.
Pulls it up.
Grunts Gets it on the inside MARISHA.
Now we’re ready to go MATT.
You’re now currently not tethered to TRAVIS With her movement.
She’ll stand in front of Marius like a human shield, From any arrows that might be coming MATT. Okay, She’s trying her best to protect Marius SAM Now we’ve just got to wait for the wind guys, laughter, LAURA Where’s Keyleth.
When you need her MATT, I would say yeah The time you really miss the Air Ashari All right Now.
It’s Marius’s turn What Marius was going to do.
He can’t do now.
Well, he might try LAURA He’s going to jump in the water MARISHA.
Please don’t be a dumbass Marius MATT No, no Hold on Marius moves.
Past Yasha TRAVIS Do I get an attack of bitch slapping MATT.
He gets up to the top of the edge of the ship And let me roll for him to see if that’s actually pretty good.
Okay, He glances about the scenario takes in his chances and what’s happening and stands up and goes Hold Hold please.
This is a big misunderstanding. Let’s talk this out SAM To us or everybody MATT To the guards.
For the sake of this, I’m going to have one of you guys roll for him Who wants to roll his SAM.
I will roll MATT Persuasion check with disadvantage SAM Terrible.
Both were threes MATT, No LAURA.
Why did you roll Why didn’t you roll MATT, Because it would make it more interesting: Okay, yeah that’s not having any effect on them.
They’re beyond convincing.
Now it looks like MARISHA.
He just made himself a giant target, Wait: MATT Yeah.
He did, But you know That finishes the round.
Fjord you’re up. Travis I go up and I kick Marius in the water, no laughter TRAVIS, I don’t fucking know.
Can I double dash down into the bow of the or belowdecks where Caleb is MATT Sure TRAVIS, I’ll, do that MATT? Okay, you make your way down and you join up at the side of Caleb.
You can see now the Enforcer that’s there, throwing the paper that’s currently burning onto the table and he’s pulling a weapon out and he’s TRAVIS.
Do I have an action, or did I double dash to get down here? Matt? You said double dash.
It would have taken that to get there so All right, TRAVIS.
Oh, I’ll use my bonus action to cast Hexblade’s, Curse on that Enforcer, With the hope that he will soon be dead, MATT All right Now, as he sees you and he’s, pulling the blade you rush into the fray and what heavy Shadows still lie in the bottom here, with the little bit of lantern and fire light that’s lighting the space, the shadows get darker around him and you can see everyone’s breath is visible suddenly in this under chamber, as the curse takes its hold On him That goes to Beau and Nott MARISHA.
Okay, I go over to the rope of the sail and I pull it tight and the jib I don’t know I do something and I go.
Fjord MATT Beau has never been on a ship MARISHA Fjord.

Okay, you look at it, You’ve been watching boats come into harbor and you’ve read things about it, but mostly from your observational skills, which is one of your focuses and strengths.
Beauregard, you’re like Okay.
I think I’ve seen people you know making ships go, You grab the ropes, you pull and you yank past and you watch as the sail picks up the wind and stiffens MARISHA accented We’ve caught the wind.
I’ve heard sailors say that MATT It’s like Beau for those purposes up on the top there holding the rope and you’re like Ah okay, there’s a sail.
Marisha There’s like a rudder right, Nott rudder, the boat SAM.
I hate water laughter, MATT Nott. What are you doing? Sam Is anything constraining.
Our movement Is the gangplank in our way, Or are we unfettered at this point MATT? As far as you know, the gangplank is resting on there.
You don’t know if it’s connected at all SAM.
We’re starting to drift a little MATT, You’re starting to drift a little bit.
The wind has picked up a little bit SAM Okay, Then I will run up and tackle Marius to the ground and wrestle him down Get over here.
You fucking Get Come on Get down.
We’re trying to talk to you MATT Make an athletics check to grapple SAM Ooh, wow Athletics.
Oh that’s just a straight 18 MATT Straight 18 Yeah Like a wet paper bag.
He goes over Ah boof and they both slam onto the deck below You, have him grappled and you’re like holding him down.
You’re, not you don’t weigh a lot, but you’re leveraging and pulling the weight in a way where he can’t. His knees are buckled and he can’t actually get any ground to hold himself up.
So You got him.
Sam Okay, That’s all I got MATT All right.
The Enforcer who’s below who has the curse is going to go ahead and swing forward.
Two attacks with his blade.
This is going to be.
This is going to be against you Fjord, because you’re the one that came in and cursed him TRAVIS Yeah.
I know yeah MATT That’s going to be a 15 to hit TRAVIS.
It misses MATT impact Shield off to one side: Natural 19 TRAVIS.
It hits SAM. This is your like favored terrain and stuff: It’s a boat, TRAVIS, Nope TALIESIN.
This is a disaster MATT.
That is ten points of slashing damage.
Travis, I’m uncon.
No, I’ll use my Relentless En fucking slurred SAM.
We’re going to lose the sailor laughter TRAVIS.
Well, I’m up to one hit point LAURA Seriously.
Matt You groan, You just manage to hold on by a thread Your consciousness waning.
Your eyes focus angrily towards the target of your Hexblade’s.
Curse! Travis, Just out of pity’s sake, I’m disappointed. I came back up to one hit point LAURA.
I don’t even know that’s happening SAM and TALIESIN, No MATT All right.
That brings us to Jester’s.
Turn LAURA Great.
I’m going to use my Duplicate to run forward MARISHA.
What are we doing? Sam, We’re saving the world Marisha.
We’re saving the world LAURA.
I’m going to use my Pearl of Power to cast my last remaining 3rd level spell and I’m going to cast Charm Person on the three of the guards that I can see: MATT, Okay Ones, up front, LAURA Yeah, sure MATT, The one up Here is the leader, the one that was guiding them on stuff, LAURA Okay, yeah that’s good MATT.
He fails with a natural three Two natural threes in a row: Fucking lucky The third one on the far end is a natural six.
Okay, So You are currently oh: no, it’s, not concentration for Charm Person. Those three are charmed LAURA For an hour SAM, We’re doing great guys.
We’ve killed everybody.
We’re charming people, we’re on a boat MATT.
They are technically in combat with you.
Sam Is Frumpkin an octopus and is it lying back on the dock somewhere LIAM Frumpkin is not there SAM, Oh okay, LAURA! It is charmed by you until the spell ends or until your companions do anything harmful to it.
When the spell ends It doesn’t say anything about it not being in combat MATT Makes a wisdom, saving throw and does so with advantage.
If you or your companions are fighting it – LAURA, Oh okay, It doesn’t say that on the thingy, Sorry TALIESIN, Although they haven 39, t technically attacked.
Oh no MATT Yeah there’s been enough aggressive action.
They’re considered fighting They’ve.
All failed, their save I’m going to do one more roll for all of them. The leader that’s cocked That’s a natural, 12 plus two 14.
What’s your DC, LAURA 15 MATT 15 – That’s a natural ten and a natural 11.
They all fail again, Yeah, they’re, all still charmed Well done SAM.
What are the odds? Matt That’s kind of crazy? Actually, All right! So we’ll say the red here is Charm Person MARISHA.
I can feel Travis’s, Dad disappointment like radiating SAM In himself TRAVIS In myself, yeah SAM And in us MARISHA.
It’s hot MATT, The three of them drop their weapons for a second and are looking confused.
The ones behind are still loading and getting ready, LAURA Okay.
I guess I’m going to stay hidden on my end and try to make my way down.
I can’t do anything below, but okay, whatever yeah Yeah, I guess I’m going to try to go.
No, because I’m going to keep visual on Duplicate Jester. I’m going to stay hidden on the top MATT.
Okay.
That ends your turn Jester Caleb, LIAM Ja.
I rub a bit of honey across my lip and say Mein Freund.
I suggest you throw down your weapons and lie under that desk.
Just for your safety, and I cast Suggestion MATT.
Okay.
This is a natural seven.
That’s a failure After slashing into Fjord and turning towards you and seeing that fall, he throws his weapon down and crawls under the table angrily like Grr, I’m going to get you under this table and then he gets there and looks very confused.
Liam I would like to use movement to zip up to the top and look around MATT. Let’s see here.
Yeah we’ll say that’s what his next action would be since technically it’s out of turn LIAM You mean climbing under the desk MATT Yeah It’s happening simultaneously LIAM.
I use my movement to zip up and look around and my bonus action to zip back down into the boat MATT.
You look up and you see this scenario You see the guards are still standing there at the edge.
The ship is moving.
It’s slowly pulling away LAURA Don’t hit those guys in the front MATT.
That brings us to the guards.’turn The two in the back are going to go ahead and fire That’s going to be one at Beau and one at Yasha Against Beau.
That is a 17 to hit MARISHA Miss MATT Against Yasha.
That is a 16 to hit.
I believe that does hit She doesn’t have a huge armor class. If I recall She does take only five points of piercing damage.
Travis Is that already halved because of raging MATT? Well, she hasn’t attacked anything TRAVIS.
You’re right.
That would fall Yeah MATT Did she take damage? Last turn? Oh, she was attacked last turn, so she’s still raging TRAVIS.
Oh, she did MATT, But there were a few rounds there where she didn’t hit anything.
So the rage fell, LAURA The guy that targeted Beau has to make a wisdom, saving throw MATT.
Oh that’s.
True, He fails so he goes to fire and he has to choose another target LAURA.
No, he just fails if on a fail, SAM.
No, he can choose another target on Sanctuary MATT, It’s. Okay, It’s a 1st level spell.
Instead, he’s going to fire that at Yasha as well.
Okay, that is a failure That is a natural seven, No damage outside of the damage that she took there.
At that point, the leader goes, Wait hold.
What are you doing Stand back and the guy’s like? What are you talking about Hold on? We have to figure this out.
Something is strange about this Hold up.
He starts shouting to hail in your direction and the other guards are putting their weapons away and are about to walk over The two in the back are like What SAM Wow MATT Yeah.
They are not sure what’s happening.
They are not perceptive enough to have seen that it’s a spell effect that has changed them.
They’re confused by it. We’ll see if they figure it out soon With that these guys are going to begin to walk and make their way toward the broken docks LIAM, Possibly burning MATT.
They see the illusory guy there and look confused LAURA.
It just looks like me, though TALIESIN No, there’s another guy, MATT, There’s the guy just waving to them That’s, all he’s.
Doing repeatedly.
He’s like one of those mannequins holding the electrical signs on the street Yeah.
He’s a wacky waving TALIESIN, A wacky waver, MATT, A half orc LIAM.
He’s got the cardboard arrow, spinning it TALIESIN Freestyle MATT.
These guards are going to chase up confused and they’re going.
Sir Sir Sir, and they’re not entirely certain what’s going on They’re, really confused by the scenario That’s going to go to Caduceus TALIESIN.
I’m going to NPC my ass right across the street MATT 25 30 TALIESIN. I’m going to see if I can take my action and keep going quietly.
Oh no, I’m not going that.
I’m going to go behind those I’m getting in the water MATT.
Oh this way, TALIESIN Yeah, I’m.
Getting in the water SAM In the water TALIESIN Yeah MATT, 25 30 TALIESIN, I’m, going to gently get in Yeah.
I’m sitting in MATT.
It’s a ten foot drop TALIESIN! Oh! Is it a ten foot drop MATT Yep LAURA? Can you lower yourself, You’re, pretty tall TALIESIN? Can I climb down instead of jumping MATT Sure, make an athletics check TALIESIN All right LIAM? Is he Kaiju sized TALIESIN? I am very tiny.
Looking right now Come on.
Oh my god that was almost terrible.
Nine MATT Nine You slip and fall a little bit. You get down about five feet and you make a splash sound TALIESIN.
There’s a lot happening, TRAVIS The dock’s on fire for crying out loud MATT Yeah.
They don’t notice TALIESIN.
I’m going to slowly start making my way underneath everything quietly and with MATT Five ten 15 20 Yeah.
You’re slowly wading through the water, TALIESIN Yeah MATT.
Okay, that ends you’re, go Yasha’s, turn TRAVIS Yasha’s going to turn and bear hug Marius SAM.
I’m already on him.
Travis Awesome.
She’s going to assume the dodge.
Is there anything else to do LAURA? Can she help try to get the ship to move more TALIESIN? Does she know boats, TRAVIS Does Yasha know boats, MATT Yasha, as far as you know, does not know boats She’s never mentioned anything about it and Yasha looks like she. Doesn’t know what she’s doing.
She’s not giving orders or rushing to take a post TRAVIS.
I mean, I suppose she could run over to the gangplank and she could try to pull it and shove it against the dock and push off SAM, The old plank shove.
Matt Yasha will go ahead and push on the gangplank Make a strength check for Yasha shoving off TRAVIS 26 MATT.
She shoves and the whole boat shifts.
Suddenly The gangplank plunges down into the water and it’s floating there on the top.
The ship gets shoved off about ten feet in that direction.
Liam Who could have predicted this music Marius is just standing there held by a goblin going.
Ah, SAM Stay down, Stay down, MATT All right all right and he stays quiet there and doesn’t do anything.
Fjord TRAVIS I’ll back up to the top of the ship, where I should be useful: MATT 15 feet of movement to get up there. Travis, Do I have an action MATT, You have 15 more feet of movement and you have an action TRAVIS I’ll climb up onto where the rudder is LIAM.
Oh, you want this seafaring knowledge.
What can you give me MATT You get up and man it TRAVIS.
I start turning the bow of the ship out towards the sea MATT.
It starts arcing and making its way in that direction.
Turning slowly TRAVIS I’m smashing my head into the fucking bow LAURA Don’t.
Do it.
You only have one hit point TRAVIS I fall unconscious.
When I wake up, this will all be over.
I do that LAURA. No! You don’t TRAVIS.
Yes, I do LAURA Fjord LIAM That’s a bad idea, LAURA Don’t do that TRAVIS.
I do it MATT Okay, Fjord in a fit of frustration and anger.
Once the rudder is locked in place and the ship begins to turn in position bashes his head in very much a This – is so stupid movement.
It doesn’t knock you unconscious, but you are dizzy as fuck.
You have you hit your head real hard on there to do a point of damage.
Do you want to do that? Travis? No, that’s, fine Frustration!’s! Good enough! Matt Frustration! You’ll hurt yourself, but to take a point of damage.
Travis Frustration.’s: fine MATT, You’re like Ugh.
There’s a little bit of blood, trickling out from where the head got mashed a little bit The partially splintered wood from the explosion of the Fireball earlier LAURA.
Oh god, are we going to sink TALIESIN? Why would you say that out loud What’s wrong with you TRAVIS? No, that’s appropriate for today, MATT That ends Fjord’s turn. Now the ship is moving on initiative 20.
The ship moves out and is over there now and is turning this way.
That brings us to Beau and Nott MARISHA.
I see Fjord bash his head against the wall and I go you guys.
I think Fjord’s under some sort of influence magic.
He’s not himself, Then I yank the MATT.
You’re just using your action to hold onto the sail and keep it open.
Marisha Tell me what to do.
Travis! Oh right, you don’t know how to sail the ship MARISHA You motherfucker MATT.
You’re the only one really TRAVIS Hoist the thing and then the other one MARISHA. I try and interpret what he says Hoist the thing MATT Listening to the thing you eventually get her to figure it out.
You get the sail situated and that will be your action for the turn.
Okay, Nott SAM.
I will spend my action seeing if there’s any rope lying around and trying to tie the man’s hands up MATT.
There is a couple of coils of rope left there in the far corner of the you,’ll have to release him to go, get it SAM.
I will keep him and I will Mage Hand, grab some rope and bring it over to me, but then that will be my action MATT Still holding him because he’s keeping quiet the rope hovers over and plops next to you, SAM Then bonus action.
I will use Mage Hand to start looping it around him.
Matt Okay, Go ahead and make a sleight of hand check for me.
Well, just a general dexterity check.
Actually You’re not proficient in this. Necessarily so just add your dexterity modifier SAM, Ten MATT.
Okay, you’ve begun the process.
It’s, not an immediate SAM.
Oh wait! No! It’s just a seven That’s bad MATT, You’re, not a master of rope tying necessarily This round the ropes are slipping and while Marius is fighting against it a little bit, you’re not getting too much of a hold on it.
All right that ends your go, The Enforcer below who has completed the now is when he’s ducked behind, because he lost his action.
To do that He now gets under the table, throws his weapon down and goes What the fuck Goes to pick up the weapon that’s his turn Jester.
You go It’s, so ridiculous LIAM Did he just break it? Is that what Caleb saw MARISHA? He realized he was being dumb SAM.
He’s just doing it LIAM He’s got to do it, MATT No, but he performed the action.
Liam Right, MATT Yeah spell ends LAURA.
I’m going to pull out my axe. The duplicate and I’m, going to act like she hits herself with it so stupid and go dying noise and falls into the water TALIESIN That’s pretty good SAM.
She commits suicide in front of him.
Matt The leader goes.
No, who considers you a friend at the moment and is seemingly really distraught to watch this happen SAM.
What is happening LAURA She’s going to be floating in the water and then I’m going to go MATT.
I take it.
You’re not concentrating on your Silent Image, anymore SAM, I’m, probably focusing on Marius.
So no, I’m not MATT, Okay, That vanishes right as she kills herself and falls into the water Very confused LAURA.
Then I’m going to for my action as Jester go and try to hold the door shut for the under MATT.
Okay, You move up to the door and holding it there LAURA, But I’m crawling. I don’t want them to see me MATT, You’re keeping low yeah It’s, half movement, you still get there and you’re prone All right, Caleb LIAM.
I just want to clarify.
I thought that I had told him to throw down his weapons and hide under the desk for his safety.
That’s not an ongoing thing MARISHA.
He did that LIAM, But you don’t go down and then immediately stand up and get out again.
Do you MARISHA He saved from the spell LIAM? Oh he saved from the spell MATT.
No, How it works is you give them a task? He went and hid under the table for safety, which he did LIAM Hiding under the table for six seconds is a shitty job at hiding, but okay MATT, But it wasn’t specific enough.
It wasn’t a very specific suggestion.
Liam, Okay, that’s fine.
I have to totally rethink everything so give me ten seconds. I will use my action to run forward and, with the edges of my coat put out the burning papers LAURA, Are you downstairs? I thought you were upstairs MATT.
No, you locked him down there.
You’re in here with me All right, you put out the fire You can see.
Now it looks like what was a map that is mostly burned entirely LIAM.
Do I see anything As I’m doing this yeah? If I’m looking at it MATT On the map, Yeah, you see part of the Coast and you see some notes and you see something on there Clearly looking at it.
There is information on it, but you’re putting it out blowing LIAM Okay.
That’s it I’m done.
I would say that probably what I would’ve done, not knowing any of that is zip up to go up and then see if the door is shut and go and that’s the end of my turn.
Matt That’s going to be your turn.
That brings us to the guards.’turn The guards in the back are shaking the other guard. What are you doing? They’re getting away.
He’s like Look.
This is a very confusing scenario and we’re trying to ascertain what’s happening They seem safe for now, but why did this dock explode LAURA? Also, there’s a girl floating in the water MATT.
She just killed herself go check on her, make sure she’s.
Okay, The guard’s like Natural 20.
They’re like This, is foul magic.
He starts slapping him in the face and he’s like Get away and he’s like Call a mage.
We have to get this taken care of TRAVIS Ooh, the mage, A mage or the mage LAURA and LIAM A mage MATT.
They start shouting for help.
Frumpkin’s still hanging out over. Here I figured you would’ve blinked Frumpkin LIAM Yeah I was casting Find Familiar MATT.
You still have an octopus Frumpkin with you.
The guards are now MARISHA Yeah.
It interrupted that with the fight MATT Yeah, They’re momentarily distracted by all the things that have happened, the ship getting away and their leader’s, essentially acting really dumb and now ascertaining that it’s magical they don’t know what to do So they’re starting to shout out and one of them’s starting to leave and go to get help.
They start darting.
This way, shouting These guys all begin to inspect and try to see if they can find the poor woman, This guy dives into the water, to try and see if he can save her laughter MATT, He’s now swimming in the water going.
Where are you No, You have so much to live for laughter MATT That’s their action, Caduceus TALIESIN, I’m swimming full speed directly out into the ocean.
Matt 30 That’s as much as you can get It.’s.
Half movement in the water laughter SAM: He’s never seen the ocean before laughter TALIESIN, Oh yeah.
No, I’m not having a good LIAM, So brave TALIESIN! This is not going well for me, I’m, not a happy camper SAM. Do you even have dark vision, MATT and TALIESIN? No SAM, You’re swimming out into the dark laughter LIAM.
There’s, torches for now, MATT Yeah.
There’s a single torch over here that is loosely lighting.
The vicinity TALIESIN And I assume that there’s some kind of light on the MATT For Caduceus.
You do have a high passive perception.
There are shapes in the water below SAM, Oh, my god TALIESIN.
Would.
I have noticed that before swimming 30 feet out MATT, No, They weren’t immediately at night.
No, You’re getting out under the dock and you and a little bit of light that’s coming through from the moonlight.
You look and you can see something in the water MARISHA, Oh god, MATT That ends your turn. Yasha’s go TRAVIS.
Oh Yasha,’s LIAM 40 feet off the dock.
Marisha Help me Yasha TRAVIS Yasha assists Beau in getting the ship MATT Sure You’re just holding the ship, Not much else to do MARISHA.
Oh my god, MATT All right.
So at this point Marius is there’s not much else? He can do Fjord.
Your turn TRAVIS Keeping an eye out for Caduceus, start to steer the ship along the coastline.
This way, MATT All right make a perception check.
Please LIAM Wow Fjord TRAVIS, 18 MATT 18.
You do SAM That’s right There’s an old man swimming in the ocean MATT, You do see laughter, MARISHA Geriatric bathing SAM, Oh lord, laughter, TALIESIN.
This could not be more fucked, MATT laughter, I’m, so happy SAM Don’t worry. It’s not what we came for Keep going MATT.
This went so far from any of my expectations.
I love Dungeons, amp, Dragons TRAVIS, No fuck that guy, Where’s Caduceus MATT All right.
So, keeping up with that that ends Fjord’s turn The boat.
Now moves on initiative count 20 to there LIAM Look at that old fucker out there, MARISHA Fucking skinny dippers What the fuck Polar Bear Plunge LIAM.
Oh it’s that kind of city MATT.
All right, Beau and Nott, we’ll, say for the purposes of expediency on this SAM Yeah.
I just need some help tying this fucker up.
I bring him up to Fjord LAURA Yeah.
I’m going to let Caleb out from below I’m. Assuming I could have heard Caleb going MATT, You felt the door go thump That’s all you know LIAM.
You assume I’m down there.
I guess LAURA! Well.
If I look around MATT You don’t see Caleb on the ship Where’s Caleb LAURA.
Where’s Caleb, I open the door.
Caleb MATT, Okay, Caleb’s standing there, LAURA, Oh Caleb, MATT, All right, Caleb, you doing anything LIAM Yeah! I turn to the guy who he picked up his weapons by now, MATT Yeah, he’s making his way up the stairs after you LIAM Yeah, okay, I reach out and use Catapult and a drawer pulls out of the desk and slams into the back of His head MATT Go ahead: roll for attack LIAM Dex save for that MATT.
Oh, that’s right.
Ah it’s cocked Natural, six, LIAM Okay, it’s a failure, so that is 3d8 SAM.
Does the drawer have fruit in it, though MATT Well, yeah? Scurvy, you know LIAM 17 points of bludgeoning damage.
Matt 17 points of damage crash Right in the back of the skull. He’s like Ahh, and you can see him holding back.
He’s holding the sword.
He’s hurt, But he’s still coming at you LIAM arrow noise.
I am standing next to Fjord and Beau MATT laughs, All right With an immediate burst of speed in a rush very akin to The Flash making his way through the city.
Caleb just poof appears there on top with Fjord and Beau.
Liam Feels good man MATT.
The guy who’s now, looking at you Jester, you see the guy had his sword out and Ah looks confused and sees you and goes growls and is going to come up with the sword.
He doesn’t realize how fucked he is.
He doesn’t know that the ship has been taken.
He’s feeling pretty competent LIAM. He’s the only one having a worse day than us, MATT, Probably All right so on that he’s going to go ahead and make his way towards you Jester.
He comes up and is going to make two swings at you LAURA.
I use Hellish Rebuke MATT Well, first, you have to see if it hits That is going to be a 15 to hit.
I believe that misses LAURA, No MATT That’s a 19 to hit LAURA Okay.
Yes, I use Hellish Rebuke MATT All right go for it.
That is ten points of slashing damage to you, LAURA Okay, MATT, A two handed whoosh swings past you LAURA.
He takes 21 points of damage back MATT.
He has to make a save right.
Laura Yes, MATT, That is a natural 14, but has no bonus to his dex.
So it’s a 14 LAURA Yeah. It’s.
Only a 12 dex save MATT Right because it’s a racial ability, LAURA Yeah, it’s a racial ability MATT.
He takes half damage.
What is it LAURA? What did I say, 21, Half of that 11 MATT All right Ice, shards, pierce out of the blast area and his body is groans.
He’s, looking really hurt now and he’s frustrated and his eyes are starting to go a little wild, realizing that this is turning on him, pretty heavily All right, Caduceus, counting, You’re just like breathing hard As you glance over LIAM old man Voice, Hey TALIESIN Little help here, MARISHA.
Is that his voice TALIESIN, I’m, not doing a voice.
Marisha Sounds so familiar Man TALIESIN Not having a good day LAURA, Whose turn is it to get him up? Marisha Yasha MATT All right Yasha goes up and brings Caduceus back onto the ship MARISHA Where the fuck were you.

On this way, The boat continues on for another 20 or 30 feet actually 30 feet.
It’s starting to get a little speed and it’s picking up the wind as it’s, making its way curving out towards the harbor.
The guards continue running off These guys are all searching for the body of the woman LIAM Heroes, SAM.

He doesn’t buy it LAURA What They’re right here.
Look behind me: you stupid, Okay, MATT, He’s like back in The deck isn’t very high.

We got a ship MATT That was going bad LIAM.
This is fucking fun MATT, Oh yeah, That’s.

You wouldn’t be able to use it until next round.
Taliesin, Oh yeah, LAURA Sorry.
It really wasn’t my intention to do that.
I was aiming for his shoulder and I missed and hit his head TRAVIS. It Wasn’t My Intention.
The name of this episode, MARISHA That’s great TALIESIN That or the AC of Wood MATT.
The AC of Wood is a good Alpha title TALIESIN From It.
Wasn’t my intention MATT As you pull away out into the main harbor Fjord for the first time.
In a long time, you feel, as the stress of the sequence passes over you, the sensation of being at the helm of a ship bypasses the momentary frustration.
It feels good to feel that wind in your hair again and to be guiding it through the waters and seeing the dark horizon in the distance.
You feel that bald rage subside Looking past, you can see the guards are still running up the streets with their torches.
There’ll probably be a search party, MARISHA and LAURA sing song.
You can never go back MATT.
The good news is you don’t think they were paying attention to the back of he ship, thanks to the distraction that you set, so they don’t know the name of the ship That might help to your advantage, MARISHA, Which is MATT. It is called LAURA Widow:’s Embrace MATT.
No, it is not.
