Tyrant of the Dark Star 1.03 - Wading Through Soup

[00:00:43] Speaker A: Wake me now from this thing I've been dreaming dark so long I could not find meaning hold my hand let me stir by your side through this never ending night I can feel it now it holds me demon tower roaming in this red light it calls me he is reaching out, consuming. [00:01:29] Speaker B: And welcome back to Tyrant of the dark star. I'm Aubrey, your gm, and I will toss it over to my players to introduce themselves, and then we'll get on into things. And, yeah, we'll start with you, aki. [00:01:49] Speaker C: Hi, my name is Aki. Pronouns are she, her, and I am playing gravewing, who is our monk kinesis. Uh, that's it. That's all you get to know about her. [00:02:03] Speaker B: Oh. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Also uses she her pronouns. [00:02:07] Speaker D: Hi, y'all. I'm alyssa. My pronouns are they, them, and I play laithadrisi, our dampier, dandy, and rogue, who uses she any pronouns. [00:02:19] Speaker E: It's me. Hello, I'm dusty. I use they he pronouns, and I'm playing eurydox. Just eurydo for now. They also use they he pronouns, and they are going to be our blood hunter. [00:02:34] Speaker A: Hello, I am ferx. I'm ushe her pronouns. And I am playing the Nephilim, I think is what they're called now, thaumaturge, who also uses she her pronouns. [00:02:48] Speaker F: Hello, I am Sparlock. I use he himself pronouns. I am playing Alistair Whiskerfield, the renowned wizard and investigator who uses he him pronouns also. [00:03:08] Speaker G: And I am still muted. Hi, I'm tick. I use he she they pronouns. And today I'll be playing Niall, a wonderful flesh warp sorcerer who is definitely not a cannibal at all. Why do you even think that? And speaking of thinking, can I do the recap? [00:03:26] Speaker B: Yes, go. Go do the recap. [00:03:28] Speaker G: Audrey tried to fucking kill us in four k. I have the receipt. [00:03:31] Speaker B: I have the. [00:03:32] Speaker G: There was no mercy. The amount of crits and people went down first combat, learning a new character. Two people went down fighting for my life over here. It was gonna be three if I didn't know how shield worked. Um, these guards, I guess, are paid well for a reason, because. Jesus Christ. But by the skin of our teeth and the balls of our nipples, we somehow made it through. And honestly, I don't know how we managed to do it. So after defeating the guards that blocked our path, we have now continued down the hallway after looting their corpse, their living corpses, for all the shit that we wanted from them. And we will continue down that narrow passageway as I pass the porch back to Aubrey, our wonderful DM, who I hope will not kill us today. [00:04:14] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:04:15] Speaker F: You know, as a public service announcement, if your nipples have balls, you might want to get that checked out. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:04:24] Speaker G: There's little balls that come and stall, but, like. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on. So, yeah, you are all. You've left the room where I almost murdered you all. And you are heading down the hallway. Akos mentioned that the third cell on the right should have the secret passage out. [00:04:54] Speaker D: Is Akos not coming with us? [00:04:57] Speaker B: They are leading, but they also wanted you to know where it was, just in case something else happens. [00:05:04] Speaker G: Someone snipes him through the wall or something. It's just like it can go without me. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Yeah. And as you pass, you can see people in them. You know, a lot of people are very confused as to what is going on. But the third cell on the right is unoccupied and the door is open. [00:05:27] Speaker G: That is an open cell. [00:05:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Anakos will go in first. And you watch as I imagine you're all just following. [00:05:38] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:05:41] Speaker B: You watch as they go over to the. Like the bed that's sort of along the wall. And these watches, they're starting to feel, or feel the bricks, the stonework. And you. Eventually, it takes a minute, but they find the correct brick and they kind of rub off some of the. Just the grime and everything. And you see a symbol, a fox. And putting your hand over it, they say a couple of words and you watch as the fox glows and the bricks in the floor move, creating a trapdoor. Aquas turns to the rest of you and goes solid. You, down into the sewers. We get separated, follow the fox. The fox will take you to starlight bastion. [00:06:48] Speaker G: What fox? [00:06:50] Speaker B: They point to the fox that's on the brick. Follow this. [00:06:54] Speaker G: Okay. [00:06:57] Speaker E: Are you not coming with us? [00:07:00] Speaker B: I have something I need to take care of. [00:07:04] Speaker C: Wait. I know you've been in here for a hot minute, but, uh, the truth still stands. Have you seen my partners? [00:07:22] Speaker B: Um, they think for a second and they say they're not here, but the lamplighters have them. I. I don't know where widow is. Yellowjacket, I believe, is somewhere in. Last I heard, yellowjacket was being held in Twilight Grove, which you would know is the district that the lamplighters operate out of. And the holy blood as well. [00:08:12] Speaker C: Imma, give Akos a nod and be like, don't do stupid shit. I would hate to have to keep coming after you. [00:08:25] Speaker B: And one more piece of advice. Find Osmont Talus and put a stop to the ghouls? [00:08:39] Speaker C: I think the nod is a lot more firmer this time around. [00:08:51] Speaker B: The ghouls originated from starlight bastion. I lost track of him a couple of years ago, but I believe he's still there. He used to have an estate in starlight. It's probably your best bet. And Alistair, you would recognize the name Osmond Tallis. Tallis was the professor of alchemy at Ravenswood Academy until about five years ago when he went on a sabbatical that he never came back from. And we'll look at everybody and just say, see you on the other side. And then unless you stop Akos. Akos will leave the cell and head further into the prison. [00:09:51] Speaker G: Stay safe, I guess. Thanks. [00:10:02] Speaker F: Any significance to foxes that I recognize? [00:10:07] Speaker B: The fox is one of the major gods in the world. God of usually, like, thieves and tricksters. [00:10:17] Speaker F: Which would be why they have secret. [00:10:21] Speaker B: Passage out of the prison. [00:10:28] Speaker F: I think that guy was kind of creepy. And that's saying something with Nahl here. [00:10:38] Speaker G: Yeah, you're one. You just. [00:10:41] Speaker F: The second part was character here. [00:10:46] Speaker E: We know. By the way, as soon as Ako's left, they gave him like a nod and like, went down the passageway so they could try to get Lou up sooner. [00:10:57] Speaker C: Mm hmm. I'm gonna follow as well. Cause I want out. But I'll pretty much just in case, you know, restate. That guy's a cult leader. Of course. He's creepy. [00:11:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:15] Speaker D: He'S not like the leader leader, is he? [00:11:17] Speaker B: To our knowledge, he was last you knew. [00:11:21] Speaker D: Oh. Oh, okay. Nevermind then. [00:11:26] Speaker G: It's not just gonna get the hell out of here. I don't care. Please. Is this like pure darkness or is it like low light? Because I don't think I actually have dark vision. [00:11:39] Speaker B: It is very dark. And as you descend these steps into the sewer tunnels that run below the city, uh, it's immediately rather uncomfortable as you're stepping in about. Yeah, calf high water. [00:12:00] Speaker C: I was gonna say I have dark vision, so, um, unless you. But, but unless you let, um, graveling know, she's not gonna help you. Let's just say I can't see dick or something and then I can help you. [00:12:19] Speaker G: Yeah, I am just gonna be like, I can't see anything. I'm gonna be honest with you all. [00:12:25] Speaker C: All right. Come hold my hand, cannibal. [00:12:29] Speaker G: I have a name. [00:12:31] Speaker C: I know you do. This is a joke. I'm being funny. [00:12:38] Speaker G: Oh, okay, that's pretty funny. And I will take your hand, and. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Then a minute or so after you've all sort of headed down into the sewers. You watch as the passageway disappears behind you. [00:12:53] Speaker D: Once the passage is closed, I would like to try and res Lou as. [00:12:59] Speaker G: She did to me. [00:13:01] Speaker B: If you travel down a little bit, you will find a small area that's a little bit above the waterline that you can kind of take a quick break and heal or recoup just a little. [00:13:16] Speaker E: Yeah, Yuri was going to do that, like, once they were out of half high water. [00:13:22] Speaker B: Yeah. It's only a place that you can stop off for a minute. You, unfortunately, will probably be wading through this water for quite a bit. [00:13:30] Speaker E: Yeah, if it's a place where you can stop off. I mean, I think Yurvido would start doing it, maybe before Leith walks up to help out. Unless you really want to, like, bug urido for it, like, helping her up. [00:13:48] Speaker F: Does anyone have healers tools or the ability to heal without them? [00:13:55] Speaker G: If I make an alchemical solution, yes, but I don't have the time or resources to make an alchemical solution. [00:14:02] Speaker B: And I gave Lou a set of healers tools. So you do have a set of healers tools. [00:14:12] Speaker E: So, Alyssa, what's it going to be? Do you want to bug your doe to try to get them up, or are you just going to see them attempting to do that? [00:14:20] Speaker D: I think that Laithe sort of strides over and gets ready to do it and then sees Yuri also ready and backs off. [00:14:30] Speaker E: Yeah, I think I'm also trained in medicine. Do I need to roll for this? [00:14:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you will need to roll for this. [00:14:40] Speaker E: I thought that said 818 on the dice. Okay, so, 23. [00:14:45] Speaker B: 23. So, yeah, two d, eight. Healing goes to Lou. [00:14:54] Speaker E: You get nine health points back as Lou. You see or though, like, I guess. No, they wouldn't have a flashlight. We're no getting healers tools. Bend you up and maybe, like, getting some smelling salts under your nose wake you up, and they're gonna, like, have your hand on your shoulders, like, look, wake up. Wake up. [00:15:23] Speaker A: Is everything okay? Why does this smell so bad? [00:15:30] Speaker E: Well, maybe it's not better for you. We're in the sewers. You want an adventure? No. [00:15:35] Speaker A: Oh, boy. You know, this is the second time I have been hit on the head and then locking up somewhere else, and I don't like it. [00:15:49] Speaker E: Um, Ari, question. Kirito has dark vision. [00:15:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:56] Speaker E: Even in here. Would it be enough to see details on Lou's face? Maybe Lou's eyes or something? [00:16:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's kind of like you're seeing in grayscale, and you can kind of see. See everything. [00:16:10] Speaker E: Okay. Um, as they're getting. Yup. Uh, Eurydice notes. Like, why are your eyes bloodshot? [00:16:22] Speaker A: I don't know. I got hit on the head. Why are your eyes bloodshot? [00:16:30] Speaker E: We have to talk about stuff after. [00:16:33] Speaker C: Actually, they are. [00:16:34] Speaker A: I am fine. I am fine. Is everyone alive, or did anyone die? [00:16:42] Speaker F: Well, there was that one guard who. His face melted. [00:16:49] Speaker E: We're okay. [00:16:50] Speaker A: Oh, that's fine. [00:16:55] Speaker E: Okay. Yurido is gonna hand out their arm, and I help you up. It's like, oh, you got to go follow the foxes or something. [00:17:02] Speaker A: Okay. What happened to the other guy? [00:17:06] Speaker C: He left business. [00:17:09] Speaker A: You know, I did not like him very much, so. That's okay. [00:17:14] Speaker C: You shouldn't. He's a cult leader. [00:17:18] Speaker A: I mean, I have nothing against cults on the principle of Sebakta, but he was. [00:17:24] Speaker C: You should. He's a cult leader, and his cult started the ghoul fever. [00:17:30] Speaker A: Oh, well, that's fun. Good to finish, really. Anyway. [00:17:37] Speaker C: Yes. [00:17:39] Speaker G: Huh. I heard that Alistair actually started that. [00:17:44] Speaker A: Zeret. [00:17:46] Speaker G: Yeah, I heard a rumor about that, actually. He said anything? Because saying unfounded rumors is rude. [00:17:56] Speaker D: That sounds a little speciesist. I think the rat started the plague. [00:18:02] Speaker A: Yeah, hold on. [00:18:03] Speaker G: I gotta scroll through my nose with Aubrey to make sure that's what she said to me, because I'm. [00:18:07] Speaker B: 99% it is. [00:18:09] Speaker G: Oh, race, you're making me racist. [00:18:13] Speaker B: Technically, it's Sparlock. Cause Sparlock sent me those. [00:18:16] Speaker G: Sparlock? I'm just saying. [00:18:19] Speaker A: Setting you up for failure. Listen. [00:18:24] Speaker G: Listen. That's just what I heard. [00:18:26] Speaker B: Not. [00:18:26] Speaker G: Not for any racially motivated, but apparently through a magical experiment or some sort of that. I didn't really pay attention to too many of the details. My boss was more interested in the juicy stuff, but that's what I heard. [00:18:45] Speaker F: I. It wasn't me. [00:18:51] Speaker A: Do we believe him? [00:18:53] Speaker C: I feel like it's only fair to ask. No, I think that. I think. I think that's ridiculous. I already know the answer, so I do believe you. Young. [00:19:02] Speaker G: I know. [00:19:02] Speaker F: One heel spell, and they think that. Yeah. [00:19:08] Speaker A: Can I make an inside check? [00:19:10] Speaker D: Same, please. [00:19:11] Speaker G: I will chew out of spite, because. God damn, Alex. It's only fair. Yeah, this is only fair. This is revenge, I guess. [00:19:20] Speaker A: It's what? [00:19:20] Speaker B: Perception, actually, yeah, perception. [00:19:22] Speaker F: It's perception against my diplomacy. DC. Which. How does that work? I was about to say, I guess by diplomacy. DC, but. Or I think it's diplomacy against their perception. [00:19:38] Speaker B: DC or deception? [00:19:40] Speaker G: If you're lying. It depends. You just tell us the DC and don't tell us which one it is. [00:19:44] Speaker F: I already said. But, yeah, I. Because I. Yeah, because I think to convince them, I have to roll right. Which I am not very convincing. [00:20:01] Speaker B: I've got a nat one. [00:20:03] Speaker G: So you're in good hands here orally as well. [00:20:07] Speaker B: Yeah. There's a lot of confusing things going on in these ten minutes or so, or a few minutes after Lou wakes up. [00:20:19] Speaker G: But honestly, that's neither here nor there at this point. I'm just giving you a look like you started this fight with your little rat man. [00:20:29] Speaker B: I'm also gonna ask, does anybody else want to attempt to heal? [00:20:33] Speaker G: I would like to be healed, if possible. [00:20:35] Speaker C: I would like to also be healed, but I myself cannot be the one who does it. [00:20:40] Speaker F: I can heal, but I think we only have one set of healers tools, so we need to make a queue. [00:20:46] Speaker A: Yep. [00:20:48] Speaker F: And I think whoever has the highest wisdom. Mine's plus five. [00:20:54] Speaker A: I have a plus five to medicine. [00:20:56] Speaker F: Medicine, yeah. [00:20:57] Speaker D: Mine's also plus five. [00:20:58] Speaker G: I'm a plus zero. Can I do it? [00:21:00] Speaker C: Nope. [00:21:00] Speaker B: No. [00:21:02] Speaker E: Before all this, your do is going to help lua. They're going to attempt to heal himself. [00:21:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Also, you're. You're not currently in any danger, so we can make a bunch of checks and say, like, you spend, like, an hour or so getting. Getting yourselves back together and patched up before heading on. [00:21:23] Speaker E: Cool. Well, I rolled for myself and I'm gonna hand the healers tools off. [00:21:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:28] Speaker F: Wait, what's your, uh. What's your bonus, though? [00:21:32] Speaker E: Plus six? [00:21:33] Speaker F: Yeah. Can you heal me? [00:21:36] Speaker B: I think. I think Yuri may have to do the healing. [00:21:39] Speaker C: Yeah. I also got a plus zero. [00:21:41] Speaker E: I didn't. I did not expect this. Yeah, I got a 21 for my first role. It's two d eight. You said two D eight. Cool. [00:21:50] Speaker B: I get five health back and you're just trained, right? [00:21:54] Speaker E: Uh, in that medicine? Yes, I'm just trying in medicine. [00:21:59] Speaker B: So you can only do it at the DC 15? [00:22:02] Speaker E: Yeah. Um. [00:22:03] Speaker A: I'm becoming so acutely aware of how. [00:22:05] Speaker G: We do not have a cleric anymore. I mean, I'm gonna be able to make healing potions. I just need to get into a kitchen and cook. [00:22:14] Speaker B: Yeah, but they'll still take it. Take an action to drink. [00:22:17] Speaker E: Wait, so who's the first person I'm building up? [00:22:19] Speaker B: I think you, Alastair. [00:22:21] Speaker F: Request. [00:22:22] Speaker B: I thought you were healing yourself first, not late. [00:22:26] Speaker E: So I'm gonna use my hero point. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. [00:22:33] Speaker F: And while that's happening, I'm gonna call melt my fur and hand just a large clump to names escaping me. [00:22:50] Speaker D: For her allergy spells. [00:22:52] Speaker F: Yes, because that hurt. You just like, yanked a bunch of my fur. [00:22:58] Speaker A: I am really sorry about that. I did not mean pull out. I was going for the loose hairs, but I think I panicked a little bit. But thank you. I will take good care of it and I will use it well. [00:23:13] Speaker E: I have a chunk version of my face, so for Alistair, I rolled a 16, which is too close for me, so I'm gonna use my big dice. Who needs help next? Why roll? [00:23:31] Speaker B: Oh, you can't do me. [00:23:31] Speaker A: I don't think. [00:23:34] Speaker E: 16 on the dice for that. So that's 22 for you. Does everyone need healing? Is that what's going on? [00:23:41] Speaker G: I also need healing, so probably, yeah. [00:23:43] Speaker D: I also need healing. But I can heal lou, I believe. But you can't heal her again. [00:23:48] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, I correct. I can't heal again. So for Neil. [00:23:56] Speaker C: Neil, niall, Nile. Like nihilism, is it? [00:24:04] Speaker F: The immunity is to all treat wounds, actions, not just yours. For 1 hour after the ten minutes. [00:24:11] Speaker E: Gotcha. Uh, Nile brain. Yeah, that's another success. [00:24:18] Speaker G: Okay, how much health I get back? Help me. [00:24:20] Speaker E: Two d eight. [00:24:22] Speaker G: Are you gonna roll them or should I roll them? [00:24:25] Speaker C: I can roll them for you too. [00:24:27] Speaker E: Everyone else rolled them. [00:24:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll just roll. [00:24:33] Speaker F: Welcome to my hell. [00:24:36] Speaker G: What do you mean my hell? This is my house. I live here. [00:24:39] Speaker E: No, I mean take you heal ten. [00:24:43] Speaker G: Thank you. I'm now at. Okay, health. [00:24:47] Speaker E: Let me just look up what. Something happens when something. So thankfully, laithe, it wasn't a critical fail. [00:25:00] Speaker D: Oh, no, this was intentional. [00:25:03] Speaker E: It was not. It was 100% was not. I was going in an order that it was given to me. Um. Cause that I. I rolled a twelve on my last one. A failure. Nothing happens. I run out of bandages or something. I'm sorry, this is not on purpose this time. [00:25:30] Speaker C: This time sounds like a bunch of barnacles. [00:25:33] Speaker E: Well, I was making a joke in the beginning. I used my hero point for Alistar because I rolled the two of my first dice. [00:25:41] Speaker D: I agree, Akino. It sounds like a bunch of barnacles. [00:25:48] Speaker E: Whatever. [00:25:51] Speaker A: Let it fuel the rift. Make it on purpose. Now. Come on. [00:25:56] Speaker C: I love enemies to lovers. [00:25:59] Speaker E: I think Yurida finally patches up Niall and then looks at laith and it's like, not intentional. I am literally out of bandages stuff. Now. Once we get to wherever you are, I'll help you out. [00:26:17] Speaker D: Yeah. She, I think, stares at you, and her eyes have that sort of, like, cat in the dark sheen, but she doesn't say anything. [00:26:30] Speaker E: And then I'm gonna keep on going. I think I got the least health back from that. Cause I healed myself. [00:26:42] Speaker B: As people start moving, I'm gonna call for perception checks. I'm also gonna ask, we've never actually done exploration activities before and I think now is actually a pretty decent time for that. It's like, what are people doing? As you're moving along, you have some options. Like you could try to move stealthily, you could be looking out for things. [00:27:20] Speaker C: I want to be looking out for things. I don't care for stealth when we're in here now, and that's solely because the likelihood of us being able to jump someone back is super high. So I don't think a bunch of us moving together essentially in the same direction in water is something that gravewing is actually worried about. I do, however, want to keep an eye out for things that could be useful. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Yep. So, yeah, the big exploration activities are avoid notice, which is a stealth one. Defend. So you like, if you have a shield, you keep a shield raised, you can detect magic. If you have the spell, you can follow the expert, but that requires somebody being an expert. You can hustle, you can try to travel faster, investigate recall knowledge, repeat a spell, scout ahead. So that's what you would be doing. Or search actually as well, is probably what you could be doing. [00:28:30] Speaker A: Call knowledge. Yeah, about, I don't know, are there crocodiles in the sewer or something? [00:28:37] Speaker B: Like give me a recall knowledge about like what you might have heard about the sewers. [00:28:40] Speaker A: Okay. [00:28:42] Speaker B: Society. [00:28:43] Speaker G: Society. [00:28:43] Speaker B: Sweet. [00:28:45] Speaker E: I'm an expert in perception. Would that mean I could do like the leader or do the follow the. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Leader thing you do follow the expert. Yeah. You could search and then, or gravewing could follow the expert on you and improve the bonus you need. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Isn't follow the expert a specific feat you need no or no. [00:29:12] Speaker G: Okay. [00:29:12] Speaker A: I feel like I saw it in the feet list, but maybe it was. [00:29:14] Speaker F: Like I'm more skilled follower gives you a better bonus from follow the expert. [00:29:22] Speaker C: I got a 14. [00:29:27] Speaker E: I want to just make sure we're heading in the right direction. I guess so. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Well. [00:29:39] Speaker E: That'S only like a 14. [00:29:41] Speaker A: Hey, twinsies. [00:29:42] Speaker B: 14. All right, so. And everybody else just sort of continuing to do these. If somebody else wants to roll a perception, you can as well. [00:29:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:55] Speaker F: I will detect magic. [00:30:02] Speaker B: Late. What was. [00:30:04] Speaker D: I would like to be sort of in the back of the group and watching to see if anyone is coming behind us. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:14] Speaker G: I can't see for beans, but I can listen for beans. Can I? Perception check with my ears. [00:30:19] Speaker B: You would do you since they're not considered like a keen sense. No. So you would have a penalty. But you could still try it. [00:30:31] Speaker G: I can just hold gravewing's hand and try not to fall over my own feet. Seems to be a better option. [00:30:39] Speaker B: Yeah. And graveling, you doing perception as well? [00:30:44] Speaker C: I'm assuming so, yes. [00:30:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So if you want to give me those roles. And, Lou, with 14, you know, there could be all the number of things down here. Maybe it's how the ghouls moved between districts. No one's really sure, but, you know, crocodiles, eh, seem unlikely. They're more of a tropical thing, and we're very. You know, we're very cold. Reptiles don't really like. Like Malachog. [00:31:19] Speaker A: We should be careful of ghouls, just in case. [00:31:29] Speaker C: Are we literally heading towards the ghoul district right now? [00:31:32] Speaker B: You are, maybe. [00:31:33] Speaker A: So then we should be really careful of ghouls. [00:31:37] Speaker G: That is true. [00:31:38] Speaker A: There's almost certainly going to be ghouls down here. [00:31:42] Speaker C: That is a given. But you were also knocked out when we were talking about that. I believe so. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's true. I have no idea where we're going. [00:31:51] Speaker C: Yeah. So you're correct. We are going to the dual district. I rolled 14. Perception. Yeah. I'm not very trained. [00:32:01] Speaker G: Good. [00:32:02] Speaker B: And the great thing is these. These markings, especially, are meant to be seen. Uh, you know, they're not supposed to be incredibly hard to find because usually the only people who are running through this tours like this are followers of the fox because, you know, you just to smuggle things, get in and out. Um, so they're relatively easy to keep track of. And as far as, you know, at this point, you are following them. [00:32:32] Speaker D: I got a 19 for watching our back. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Nothing seems to be following you. [00:32:37] Speaker G: Yay. [00:32:40] Speaker F: By the way, do I know this area? Like, I know I. It's been a long time, but I at least have a history with the sewers. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Um, not this area, because you're. You're usually on the other side of the. The bridge, and you are all in the coin district currently, which is on the. You are usually on the left side of the bridge. You're on the right side of the bridge. The coin district is kind of right next to Twilight Grove, the area where all of the lamplighters and the holy blood are. So you. You're not really sure. And honestly, like, people don't live in the sewers. It's not a very. You are a sewer rat, but, you. [00:33:38] Speaker F: Know, no one's more like an evolution thing. [00:33:41] Speaker B: Like, nobody really lives in the sewers there. You're really gonna want to wash up real good. After you get out of here. [00:33:49] Speaker G: There's a sewer Steve. Erasure. No, sewer Steve that lives in the sewers. [00:33:53] Speaker B: Sewer Steve was eaten by ghouls years ago. Unfortunately, no, not sewer Steve. [00:33:59] Speaker G: I was gonna eat him. [00:34:00] Speaker C: His face claim is Jeremy Trainor. [00:34:04] Speaker G: Maybe sewer Steve's son. Sewer Steve senior will be without scuba Steve. Scuba Steve? Yes. [00:34:15] Speaker B: Eventually you do get to a point where there are two different ways you can go. The way on your right seems to lead into a sort of an enclosed room that doesn't have a way out of it. It does look like there is something in that room. You can't really tell from where you are. It doesn't seem to appear to be moving. I will tell you this. There is something in there. And then you can continue on your right and continue following the tracks of the fox. [00:34:48] Speaker F: But now you've said there's something in a room. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Yes. [00:34:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:52] Speaker G: And I think we should ignore it. I'm gonna be honest. Not a problem. [00:34:57] Speaker F: But it might be treasure. I can shoot it and see if it moves. [00:35:03] Speaker G: I'd rather just get out of here, I'll be honest. [00:35:07] Speaker E: Oh, Aubrey, what kind of cross are we? Do we have just regular crossbows? [00:35:10] Speaker B: Just regular crossbows? [00:35:11] Speaker E: Okay. Not, like, super heavy, like three six crossbows. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Regular. Regular crossbows. [00:35:16] Speaker G: Damn. No, premium shit. Come on. [00:35:18] Speaker B: No, they don't pay. They don't like. They give the guards decent equipment, but. [00:35:22] Speaker C: Not like prison guards. Yeah, those are prison guards. What do you think? The fact that. That one of us could have stolen the scale mail is honestly so heinous? Because that's probably gonna come out of their paychecks. [00:35:33] Speaker E: Who cares? They're prison guards. Who gives a fuck about them? [00:35:38] Speaker C: Probably the three kids that they have to feed care about them. [00:35:42] Speaker E: They should have thought better than becoming a prison guard. [00:35:45] Speaker C: I mean, you're rich. You're just as bad, if not worse. [00:35:50] Speaker E: Just wait. [00:35:51] Speaker G: Things are heating up in the fandom. Fandom, huh? [00:35:59] Speaker C: Anyways, I'm not going into any ominous rooms right now. I'm literally bleeding out. So if there was a sewer crocodile, it's coming for us. [00:36:09] Speaker E: So I'm working. [00:36:12] Speaker G: Ooh. [00:36:12] Speaker F: You may want to keep that away from the water, by the way. [00:36:17] Speaker C: I am. Don't. Don't worry. I am keep. Thankfully, I was only shot at my tits. [00:36:24] Speaker E: Bulletproof. [00:36:26] Speaker F: Just don't splash too much. Cause I don't want you dying of sepsis. [00:36:32] Speaker C: Oh, I don't want to die of sepsis either. Do you know how much it costs to treat that? I don't. Because nobody gets treated, they just die of such. [00:36:42] Speaker B: Well, you also, like, your wound has been bandaged. [00:36:46] Speaker C: My wound has been bad. I know, but the last thing I need is to russ and tussle, roll around on this literally shit floor. Oh, my goodness. You throw us in a sewer, and all Aki's thinking is about, look at all the poop we're walking through. Look at all that duty. [00:37:06] Speaker F: You're worried about it? I'm, like, waist high. [00:37:09] Speaker C: Oh, I know. [00:37:11] Speaker F: Not quite. [00:37:12] Speaker C: I feel so bad for you don't understand. [00:37:16] Speaker G: I'm glad the person that I'm holding hands with is not an absolute menace to society. [00:37:26] Speaker C: It's only kind of menace. [00:37:29] Speaker G: Yeah, but not. I'm not gonna drag me through a field of poop. Like, at least I'll take that. I'll take the w. You know? [00:37:35] Speaker B: So just ignoring this room, just continuing to follow. [00:37:39] Speaker C: Yeah. If the room is, like, trapped or starts attacking us, I. We don't. [00:37:44] Speaker B: You can make perceptions. [00:37:47] Speaker F: I have been outvoted, but I will definitely make a perception check. [00:37:50] Speaker D: Yeah, same. [00:37:54] Speaker A: I'm going to be curious. [00:37:56] Speaker G: The mysterious room is so suspicious. I do not trust this thing. As far as I can tell it. [00:38:00] Speaker A: Me neither. But I'm curious. [00:38:05] Speaker C: The most mysterious thing about it is all the fecal air surrounding it. [00:38:09] Speaker G: Maybe this is where sewer Steve lived before he died. [00:38:14] Speaker C: Jeremy trainer. [00:38:19] Speaker F: As a 19 for me. [00:38:21] Speaker C: 22. [00:38:22] Speaker D: Only a 15. [00:38:25] Speaker B: Only a 1522 for me. 15 and 22. Okay, so whoever got. Honestly, like, it's not really hard to tell you, especially if any of you have darkvision, you can tell it looks like some sort of crates, uh, in the room as well. There's another point where it is a little bit above the waterline. That looks like some crates, maybe some leftover things from smuggling. Uh, and there does appear to be a skeleton, but they don't. It doesn't appear to be a full skeleton. Uh, like somebody's body has decomposed completely. [00:39:09] Speaker F: I want to see what's in the crates. Let's go. [00:39:12] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know. That is a whole skeleton. [00:39:21] Speaker F: Yeah, exactly. It's not half a skeleton. Wait, you said. You just said it was half a skeleton, didn't you? [00:39:30] Speaker A: I mean, I have heard of such an pretend to be other things, and I'm pro t shirt, those are real monsters. And a sewer seems like a great place for that. [00:39:47] Speaker E: Is the door locked? [00:39:50] Speaker A: No, I don't think so. Because we can see in. Unless there's, like, a window we have. [00:40:00] Speaker E: We don't. I'd rather get out of the sewer as quick as possible. Unless you want to lug whatever is in the chest around. [00:40:10] Speaker F: Maybe it's more bandages. [00:40:13] Speaker A: I don't want sewer bandages. [00:40:18] Speaker F: They're dry. It's up high. [00:40:20] Speaker A: They've been in a sewer. [00:40:23] Speaker F: I don't think there's sewer. Uh, sewer. [00:40:28] Speaker A: Miasma. [00:40:30] Speaker F: Water high thing. [00:40:31] Speaker G: Why do you want to open this box so badly? Are you curious? [00:40:36] Speaker C: Just open the fucking box or we're going to leave you here. [00:40:40] Speaker F: Yay. [00:40:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:40:44] Speaker F: I'm going to run in and open the box. [00:40:49] Speaker B: In the box, it appears like it's been here for a while. As you do open it, the box is filled with several bottles that. It's a little hard to tell in this lack of light what they are. There are four bottles, that, of something in this one crate. You open. Several of the other ones already look like they've been pilfered through. But this is something you'd have to, like, take a look at them under proper light to really figure out what they are or drink them. [00:41:30] Speaker F: Yeah, I will. Yoink for. I'm not gonna drink the mystery fluids. [00:41:34] Speaker C: Like I was gonna say, as soon as I see. If I were to see you attempt it, I swear to God, I would pick you up by the scruff of whatever's left of your neck. [00:41:44] Speaker F: All right, so mystery fluid. [00:41:48] Speaker G: Don't say it like that. [00:41:51] Speaker C: Put the mystery fluid in your bag or whatever, and let's get out of here. [00:42:00] Speaker F: I am putting that in. And let's go. [00:42:02] Speaker B: Yep. So just four unknown bottles. And then. Yeah. You continue down the next hallway. Uh, you are going to be traveling for a while. Uh, it is going to be several hours at least. Uh, uh, in these sort of winding tunnels below the. Below the sewer or in the sewer below the streets. And at one point, you're relatively sure that you're probably under where the, like, the river is, and then you eventually get to a much larger open room. That sort of is estuary is the word I'm looking for. I think. It appears that a lot of tunnels converge here, and if you want to continue following the fox, I will ask for perception checks from people. [00:43:07] Speaker C: I want to make small talk as we go. [00:43:09] Speaker B: Yeah, go for it. You're gonna be traveling for a bit, so if you want to chat about anything, now is the time. [00:43:14] Speaker C: Okay. Moth. I was about to call her moth, mom. You know, it would still be. It would. I still call her that? It's not like I don't refer to her as that. And like, I don't care if, like, as long as she's just gravewing for most of the part. It doesn't matter. Anyways, moth mom is not really much of a talker. However, she's using this to get information and so she's basically gonna ask, how long have all of you been imprisoned? [00:43:58] Speaker E: Yuri is going to ask Lou, because they were unconscious when they were brought to prison, I believe, like, like a week. [00:44:09] Speaker A: More like two. At least two, possibly more. And I was also a little bit not awake. Unrivalled, but less. More awake than you, I think. [00:44:23] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay. [00:44:27] Speaker G: I am going to ask the DM. Please remind me how long I was in jail again. I think it was two weeks. [00:44:33] Speaker B: It was two weeks. [00:44:34] Speaker G: Two weeks? Yeah, two weeks for me. [00:44:38] Speaker D: I think I was brought in after. Oh, wait, I wouldn't know that. I was brought in after you. I was brought into the room after you. Yeah, um, around two weeks for me as well. [00:44:50] Speaker F: Also, I was the last one in. [00:44:54] Speaker G: Did we all conveniently get arrested two weeks ago? [00:44:58] Speaker C: Well, there's the. The red ones. I don't remember what your liberation is. Cousins. Your cousins. [00:45:13] Speaker E: Yes. [00:45:14] Speaker B: Remember we're in audio mediums. [00:45:16] Speaker E: Yeah, sorry, it's just I just watched. [00:45:19] Speaker B: You both nod and I was like. [00:45:22] Speaker E: Where are you streaming again? Um, but yes, we're. We're cousins. [00:45:26] Speaker C: Okay. Ah, well, cousins are one week. Two weeks. Me, two weeks. Life. Right. Life. Two weeks. Nile. Oh, great. Detective, do you know how many. How long you've been here? [00:45:51] Speaker F: About the same. I was the last one brought in. Why am I hitting the button? There we go. Y'all are able to hear me. Can I use the pursue a lead bonus on the perception check? Sorry, I assume that's the lead I'm following. I did check it out intentionally. Yeah, but I forgot to say I'm going to use the pursue a lead. Um, so that was a 21 for me. [00:46:25] Speaker B: 21. Okay, uh, we'll get to those in just a minute. As you're all making small talk as you travel. [00:46:42] Speaker C: I'm assuming based on the way you're talking, you three are not from the lower ends. Do you actually know how to get back to your neighborhoods or do you need help with that? [00:47:07] Speaker E: I think Girido realizes you're talking to them and. No, I. I found my way around everywhere. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Here he goes. I don't skip last much. [00:47:29] Speaker D: I'll happily follow Lou home and I can make my way from there. [00:47:34] Speaker A: Lou gives you a look and then looks like. [00:47:39] Speaker E: Just like a raised eyebrow. Just one raised eyebrow look. [00:47:42] Speaker G: Oh, I can't see, but I felt that look. [00:47:50] Speaker C: Young love. Good to know. I give Niall a little squeeze. So that way you know I'm talking to you next because you can't see and just be like, you know your way out. [00:48:07] Speaker G: Probably, but I don't exactly think I can return to where I was working after everything's happened. This is gonna be a conundrum for me to figure out. [00:48:19] Speaker C: It's fine. If you don't mind more conundrums. You can chill with me for a bit, though. I don't know how compromised my place is. [00:48:31] Speaker G: That would be appreciated, actually, while I figure out if I have to skip town or not. If I can skip town. [00:48:40] Speaker C: Oh, well, I don't really believe you're cannibal, so I think you're pretty honest. I think we can find a place for you. [00:48:51] Speaker G: Oh, that's very kind of you. Thank you, Niall. [00:48:55] Speaker B: In your head. Do you hear? I like that one. We can eat her last. [00:49:02] Speaker G: She's gonna think back. We're not eating anyone in this group. Please. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like. I don't like the rat. The rat doxx me. The rat can go first. [00:49:18] Speaker F: If we can't get out of the sewers fast enough, the ranking system is this. [00:49:23] Speaker G: First goes Alistair, first goes the rat. Then Laithe, because she's kind of a cocky bastard. Then Yuri, because neutral. Uh, then it's, um, Lou. Because Lou's very nice, but not as cool as gravewing. And then last is gravewing. There's the order of eating you guys. Just out of character for you guys to know. [00:49:45] Speaker F: I'm imagining this, like, half mumbled under your breath. [00:49:50] Speaker G: Just like the rat goes first. Just very quietly. [00:49:53] Speaker C: And I am right. I am right beside you. You basically. And I don't know. I don't know anything, you know, about. About your current situation. So I think you're mumbling this to me. I just go home. Shit. [00:50:08] Speaker A: No. [00:50:08] Speaker G: No. I do not commit murder for fun or anything like that. I'm just. [00:50:17] Speaker D: Just for food. [00:50:22] Speaker G: Why are you people like this? [00:50:25] Speaker C: No one commits murder for fun. [00:50:28] Speaker E: I mean, if it's a lamp later, I understand. [00:50:32] Speaker C: No one should commit murder for fun. [00:50:36] Speaker E: I mean, it's not for fun. It's for a reason. [00:50:39] Speaker G: I mean, speaking of rumors, I heard that you were a lot more terrifying than you actually are. [00:50:46] Speaker C: Who the fuck are you talking to? Me. [00:50:48] Speaker G: You. Yes. I squeezed your hand. I'm like, yes, you. [00:50:50] Speaker C: I'm only scary when I want to be. [00:50:53] Speaker G: Oh, yeah. I heard that getting on your bad side was a death sentence. It is noted. [00:51:00] Speaker C: You're not on my bad side, actually, I think I owe you a couple nights. So you're fine. You're square. Like I said. You are my. You are. I'm not fucking joking, bitch. You're my favorite. Like, chef out of character. [00:51:18] Speaker G: I'm so fucking scared to have to make a skill check to cook for you now. Actually, I character fucking terrified for it. [00:51:27] Speaker C: Okay, well, to give you some reassurance, I hope you ever. You ever have, like, a. Like, a nostalgic food where it's like, you know, even if it's a little off, some days you're like, I'm still gonna fucking eat all of it, though. I just know that, like, there's too much salt this time. [00:51:48] Speaker G: Yeah, it's like, a little bit off, you know? But still, I am very good at cooking. Have a high cooking stat. So I'm like, I should be good, but I will make everyone some nice soup when we get out of this, before we go our separate ways. [00:52:02] Speaker C: Super soup. [00:52:04] Speaker G: It's a very good soup. [00:52:07] Speaker A: Have you actually killed people? [00:52:13] Speaker G: Me? [00:52:15] Speaker A: You also, actually. Statistical question. That's both of you. [00:52:21] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:52:25] Speaker A: Have you killed the important people? Did you kill the eye priest? [00:52:34] Speaker C: The first one. Oh, not. Not that other fucker. Oh, God. Above table. You gotta let me check for Corvo. That's the one, right? [00:52:50] Speaker B: That was the one you did kill? Yeah. Tezrani is the one. You. [00:52:53] Speaker C: Tezrani's the one. I didn't. That's that I remember. Tezzarani. I don't remember. Yeah. Misery. Gravona. [00:53:00] Speaker G: Do we all just have weird rumors about each other? Because I've heard rumors about all of you people now that I'm thinking about it. [00:53:06] Speaker A: Well, I mean, you live in the city where hear things about people, and sometimes you need them and sometimes you don't. That's the things I know about people. [00:53:17] Speaker C: I have a 20 year long career. You better know rumors about me. [00:53:22] Speaker G: Very true. [00:53:26] Speaker A: Why, um. Why. Why did you kill the priest? [00:53:32] Speaker G: I'm sorry? You're very quiet. I can't hear what you're saying. [00:53:36] Speaker A: Why did you kill the priest? [00:53:40] Speaker C: Oh, because they deserved it. [00:53:45] Speaker E: Yuri doesn't say anything, but you see them nodding their head, like, all right. [00:53:53] Speaker A: Interesting. [00:53:55] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't make it a hobby, but when I do kill people, I want to make sure the city knows it. [00:54:08] Speaker A: Do you often kill people? [00:54:15] Speaker F: Well, if she did, you would. If they did, you would know. Like, that was the. [00:54:22] Speaker A: That is a good point. But also, I don't get that much. So. [00:54:27] Speaker C: Misery was the biggest one, I think my most popular one, but I haven't killed anyone in a year. [00:54:39] Speaker A: Oh, just that one. [00:54:40] Speaker G: Okay. [00:54:41] Speaker C: Yeah, I did. I did kill someone last year, for sure. Another high official, but, like, those guards didn't kill a single one. [00:54:56] Speaker A: Um, so you're like, um, a political assassin? [00:55:03] Speaker C: I mean. I mean, no, I. Well, I'm definitely a vigilante. Kind of just fit that bill. But I think. I think I do what needs to be done. [00:55:31] Speaker A: Interesting what wonderful conversation we have in this verse. [00:55:37] Speaker C: Oh, I know things about your family, but I'll keep it to myself. Well, I don't think it's that bad yet. Can't fact check it. [00:55:48] Speaker A: If it wasn't, it's not true anymore. That's just years ago. [00:55:54] Speaker C: I hope. I hope not. I always not true entirely. [00:55:59] Speaker G: What is it? I got. [00:56:01] Speaker C: I don't want to spread false information. Let me fact check it, and then I'll let you know. [00:56:05] Speaker A: There's nothing to fact it many, many years ago. Yes. Okay, maybe our grandfather was a bit of an arctic, but nowadays. That is so untrue. [00:56:18] Speaker C: That wasn't what you're the rumor was about. Yeah, thanks for telling me, though. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Well, I mean, everyone knows. Amount of people I have to this side of the regular with my words. [00:56:36] Speaker E: Do you want to learn to fistfight? [00:56:39] Speaker A: No. [00:56:40] Speaker E: You sure? [00:56:41] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure. That was terrifying. [00:56:43] Speaker C: You should know how to at least punch, right? You don't want to dislocate your thumb. [00:56:47] Speaker A: I don't want to punch anyone. [00:56:49] Speaker C: It's not about wanting to punch people. Sometimes it happens. [00:56:55] Speaker A: I think I. You know, I would rather not be that close to people that I have to punch them, and I would rather. It's a minid with. [00:57:05] Speaker C: With a stick. A stick that could crack their head open instead. [00:57:08] Speaker A: Right. I was gonna say a bell very much, and then that's a little. [00:57:13] Speaker C: Have you ever been. Have you ever been hit with a bell? [00:57:17] Speaker A: Yes, I'm hit by the bell tower several times. No, not the bell tower. The little one. She pulls out her bell and gives a little shake. [00:57:24] Speaker E: You're. Those chimes up. You don't want to get hit by that bell. [00:57:32] Speaker A: I made the mistake of learning how to juggle it, and that was not a good idea. [00:57:37] Speaker C: I rely a lot on my ears, and the last thing I need is tinnitus. So I guess I'll stay away from you. [00:57:43] Speaker G: Oh, speaking of, do any of you have any dietary restrictions? [00:57:47] Speaker A: Oh, I am. Why? [00:57:49] Speaker F: I don't eat people. [00:57:51] Speaker A: I also do not eat people. [00:57:53] Speaker F: Like, I know you're a good chef, as long as you're not. [00:57:59] Speaker G: I just give you a look. I look in the direction of your voice because I can't see, like, just frowny face look. And she's like, okay, that's enough from you. [00:58:07] Speaker A: It's not like we're going to be together for very long. We leave the sewer and we all go home. Right. [00:58:14] Speaker G: Well, just in case I have to make a meal for everyone. I like to keep in mind dietary restrictions. Maybe if Leif would ever actually like to eat at the establishment I work at, it'd be good to know. [00:58:24] Speaker D: Yeah. My recent learnings have really made me much less curious about eating at that restaurant. [00:58:31] Speaker G: Oh, my God. I hate all of you. [00:58:34] Speaker C: I need meat. [00:58:37] Speaker A: I am a vegetarian. I would really be a vegetarian now. But I already was one. [00:58:48] Speaker E: Vegetarian. [00:58:49] Speaker G: Why would you be more vegetarian now? [00:58:51] Speaker A: No reason. [00:58:53] Speaker G: No, there's a reason. Please tell it to me. [00:58:55] Speaker A: I don't like not knowing where Zimbabwe comes from, that's all. [00:59:03] Speaker G: Do you think that I would lie about the source of my meat and my dishes? [00:59:07] Speaker A: I'm just saying, I have seen the akwa about the baba who kills people and then serves them up as pies. [00:59:13] Speaker G: I am an esteemed chef. I would never. [00:59:17] Speaker A: I would. [00:59:18] Speaker G: I would never put food in a dish that would not be disclosed immediately upon serving. That would be a blight on my honor as a chef and a person. That would be absolutely horrendous, and that would be disgusting. [00:59:33] Speaker C: Yeah, put some respect on his name. [00:59:35] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:59:38] Speaker B: But, Niall. And you're heading here. That's a good idea, though. [00:59:44] Speaker G: I didn't think back. Absolutely not, y'all. Shit. That implies you have to share the human me. Do you want to share? Huh? You want to share with people? [00:59:53] Speaker C: Are you saying this out loud? [00:59:55] Speaker G: No, no. This is all. [00:59:57] Speaker C: No, because even if you're mumbling, remember, I'm holding your hand. [01:00:02] Speaker G: Hold on. What does Aubrey say next? [01:00:04] Speaker B: Depends on if I start mumbling or not. [01:00:06] Speaker E: It's. [01:00:08] Speaker B: The meat pies sound real good. [01:00:11] Speaker G: I could not hear you. I'm sorry. Something. [01:00:13] Speaker B: But meat pies sound real good. [01:00:17] Speaker G: Later. I just mumble, I'll make meat pies later. [01:00:22] Speaker C: Damn. Okay. [01:00:23] Speaker F: You know, I I I'm not convinced about the not eating people, but you speak with such passion. I believe you. [01:00:35] Speaker G: Hypothetically, if I was a cannibal, I would not put any humans in the food. Why would I share it with you people? [01:00:41] Speaker C: You make a really good point there, actually. [01:00:44] Speaker E: That's what a cannibal would say. [01:00:48] Speaker A: I don't even know you, so I don't know. I've never even heard of you. Until today. [01:00:53] Speaker E: To be fair, I've had the soup at your place. It was very good. [01:00:58] Speaker A: Where do you work? [01:01:00] Speaker F: Can we not talk about soup while we're waiting through. [01:01:05] Speaker G: You're waiting through the soup? I'm walking on solid ground because I have a good guy. [01:01:10] Speaker E: We're still waiting for soup through it. We're all wading through it. [01:01:16] Speaker C: And whatever happened to that guy, he definitely didn't have soup. This is a joke. I'm funny. Fucking kids love it. So. [01:01:31] Speaker G: Oh, speaking of, can I just ask you people about the rumors I heard? And you can deny it or confirm it? [01:01:37] Speaker C: Sure. We literally have relationships. [01:01:42] Speaker G: I'm going to be honest, I do not care about fact checking. I just trust people. Usually. Mostly. Especially Lou. Lou does not seem to have a dishonest bone in her body. Lou, do the people in your family tend to die from unnatural causes? [01:01:55] Speaker A: Oh, boy. This kind of personal, don't you think? [01:02:00] Speaker B: I thought these rumors would last more than three episodes. [01:02:04] Speaker G: Nihilist point blank in this shit. I don't care. [01:02:09] Speaker A: Um, it is a little. How did you even hear about anything along those lines, ever? [01:02:15] Speaker G: So I work at the travelers rest, and my boss really enjoys hearing stories and rumors in exchange for a meal, and I work there, and people do not know when to shut up, so I hear a lot of interesting stories about all sorts of people. Oh, well, you can stop if you want. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. [01:02:34] Speaker A: I would say it is a little private, but it's not like a best thing, but it does happen once or twice. [01:02:46] Speaker G: I'm not gonna ask. [01:02:47] Speaker A: I don't even know if she's dead, okay? She's just missing. It doesn't count. [01:02:52] Speaker G: Okay, so there's some truth to that room. Very interesting. [01:02:55] Speaker A: Thank you, I think. You're welcome. [01:02:59] Speaker C: This is wild. [01:03:02] Speaker A: I don't know if you're welcome. [01:03:04] Speaker G: Hey, Yuri. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Oh, no. [01:03:09] Speaker E: Yuri does not turn around. But they keep on walking. [01:03:12] Speaker G: Oh, is that. Is that a sign that I shouldn't ask? [01:03:16] Speaker E: What's your question? [01:03:19] Speaker G: Is this a trap? Am I not supposed to ask now? [01:03:23] Speaker C: Just ask. [01:03:25] Speaker G: Okay. Um, I heard that you drag dead animals outside of the city sometimes. What's that for? Do you do that? [01:03:37] Speaker E: I hunt in my free time. [01:03:39] Speaker G: Oh, interesting. What types of animals do you hunt? [01:03:44] Speaker E: Next question. [01:03:46] Speaker A: Um. [01:03:48] Speaker F: The most dangerous prey. [01:03:52] Speaker G: Which people? Most dangerous friends, actually. That's what gravewing hunts. My bad anyways. Corrupt rich people. Now, I was just gonna look in the vague direction of Leith and be like, I don't trust you to actually tell me the truth. So I'm not even gonna bother asking. [01:04:10] Speaker D: But I love hearing rumors about myself. [01:04:14] Speaker G: I mean, I can tell you if you just wanna hear, but that means you have to answer it. [01:04:19] Speaker D: Please. [01:04:20] Speaker G: Okay. I heard you have a secret lover at the place I work at. That's why you come so often. If it's the barmaid, she's not interested. She's straight. [01:04:33] Speaker C: Unfortunately, the one straight person. [01:04:38] Speaker G: The one straight person. [01:04:41] Speaker A: How dare you? How dare you put straights in this game? [01:04:43] Speaker C: Trans visibility day. That's it. You owe us one pronoun. [01:04:48] Speaker G: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Are you implying that trans people can't also be straight? I never said she was cis. [01:04:53] Speaker A: All right, you get a pass. [01:04:54] Speaker G: You're on thin ice, though. I'm gonna pass. But is it true life? [01:05:04] Speaker D: Unfortunately not. But it's a nice excuse for coming down to your bar. [01:05:10] Speaker G: Oh, then why do you come? [01:05:14] Speaker D: Because your boss deals in rumors. [01:05:16] Speaker G: Oh, you like learning information. Okay, that makes sense. Why won't you try my cooking? Just hear, like, a tinge of sadness in his voice. [01:05:29] Speaker D: Well, now because of the cannibalism, but before I'm a vegetarian, and I'm very picky about what I eat. [01:05:39] Speaker G: I'm sh. Okay, well, if you ever feel like I do have good soup, I can make you a vegetarian soup. [01:05:46] Speaker C: Are all rich people vegetarian? [01:05:49] Speaker G: I don't know. I guess so. [01:05:51] Speaker C: This is fucking wild. [01:05:52] Speaker E: No, it's. It's quite literally a dietary restriction for me. [01:05:57] Speaker G: Oh, I get. I get dietary restrictions a lot. They suck. This one guy came in who couldn't eat eggs, specifically the white part of the eggs. That's wild. [01:06:09] Speaker C: Fucking love eggs. [01:06:10] Speaker G: He broke out into rashes all the time. [01:06:12] Speaker C: That's awful. [01:06:14] Speaker D: Because he kept eating eggs? [01:06:16] Speaker G: No, the whites of the eggs. I think he had an allergy to them. [01:06:21] Speaker C: You have to take out the egg whites to make it? [01:06:24] Speaker A: Basically. [01:06:24] Speaker D: No, but you said that he kept breaking out, so he knew this and continued to eat the eggs. [01:06:28] Speaker C: Well, you might not know when you're eating egg whites if it's put in the food without you knowing. [01:06:35] Speaker G: Mm hmm. He kept breaking out after eating my food, and I felt bad, and then I figured out that it was the egg whites, and I removed the egg whites. He was not happy with this. He was perfectly fine with the consequences of his actions, but I couldn't have. [01:06:46] Speaker C: That on my car, so he was just a freak. Never mind. [01:06:49] Speaker G: He was a bit of a freak, I'll be honest. [01:06:51] Speaker E: Damn. [01:06:51] Speaker G: I have lots of patron stories. I can continue for hours. [01:06:55] Speaker E: Jerry. [01:06:56] Speaker B: Niall yeah, give me a perception check. Oh, no. And subargators. Alistair, what was your perception check that you rolled earlier? [01:07:06] Speaker G: Don't make me roll perception. I'm bad at it. I'm just gonna roll with the dice bot because my physical dice been shoveling up the ass. [01:07:12] Speaker F: Mine was 21. [01:07:15] Speaker G: I guess my digital dice was shoving up the ass, too, as a 13. Don't make that face, Aubrey. [01:07:23] Speaker B: What face? [01:07:25] Speaker G: Just those. I just, like, make the most disgusted face, like. [01:07:31] Speaker B: So you're finishing up this conversation as you enter this large room that has all of these tunnels, and as you're standing there, sort of figuring out which way is the best to go. Figures. Well, figures is not really the word for it. Shapes rise up from the sewage around you as you now find yourself face to face with several oozes. And we'll deal with that next time. [01:08:09] Speaker G: The slimes. God damn it. [01:08:12] Speaker C: That's actually gonna be so horrible. [01:08:14] Speaker A: Oh, we're gonna die, Aubrey. [01:08:17] Speaker G: You're gonna kill us. [01:08:19] Speaker A: We're all at, like, half healthy. [01:08:22] Speaker B: I'm sure it'll be fine. Take us up.
