[00:01:30] Speaker B: Hello and welcome back to Tyrant of the Dark Star. I'm Aubrey ugm. I will toss over to my players to introduce just themselves, who they are, who they're playing and get rolling on into things. [00:01:44] Speaker C: Hi, I'm Maki. My friend is a she her and I play Gravewing, the Nagaji sylph vigilante monk slash air kineticist who also uses she her pronouns and she is the party mom slash strategist of the rebellion. [00:02:01] Speaker D: Hello, hello, I'm Alyssa. My pronouns are they, them and I play Leith Adrisi iv, the matricidal dampier dandy, rogue and spy master who uses she any pronouns. [00:02:15] Speaker E: Hello, I am Dusty. I use they he pronouns and I'm playing Eurodo, Just Eurodo still. They are our nephilim cursed boy of a problem. They are going to be the party and his rebellion's firebr and they also use they he pronouns. [00:02:36] Speaker A: Hello, I am Farris, I use she her pronouns and I am playing Alouette Velaire, a totally normal nephilim thaumaturge bard having a very normal and good time learning all about her way more cursed families. She also uses she her pronouns and is the anathema partisan. [00:02:53] Speaker B: So what happened last time? [00:02:58] Speaker A: What didn't happen last time? The group entered the creepy basement and it had bodies in it that were drained. They were fully exsanguinated via needle medical work. Then we went through a trapdoor into some secret tunnels, which was not a fun time. Secret tunnels should usually be fun times. It was not a fun time that ran all under the district and onward. Got some cool stuff like a cryptic journal entry about how I've done it and the holy blood will kill me and then later, oh God, they know. So presumably the holy blood found out and is possibly killing them or someone else. Who can say? Maybe setting a house on fire. Who can say? We don't know yet. Anyway, then we found a bunch of prisoners that were all damp here in various states of alive. Some were really alive, some were kind of alive, some were not alive. And one of them was Gavin, who was luckily alive because he was the whole reason we were here. So we got him freed and then we kept going stealthwind poorly. There was some low numbers rolled by the cousins that Was apparently a string of future events happening, but it doesn't matter. We found Lorelei. She was trapped at a gurney. It was cool. Yuri and the other gent. Gent adjacent folks stayed behind to help Lorelei. And then the other three went chasing after the hooded figure who had, like, a. Another body. Lorelei was fine and said that her blood was being given to the other figure, and then stayed to help the prisoners and stuff, while Yuri went to join the other three, who followed the hooded figure all the way to the Hollow haunt, which is unfortunately innocent. Cole. And then decided, you know what? We can't find her. This is not gonna work out. So we went home. We don't talk about any spells that were cast in that moment. And then went back, met up with Lorelai, and Lorelai went, hey, stay here tonight. Here's the crown hammer. Go have a nap. And we did. And that's all that happened. [00:05:31] Speaker B: Yeah, you're given rooms. They're not incredibly fancy. Each have comfortable beds, and you're given the ability to bathe and food and all that. So, you know, Alastor and Niall are put in the get along room, and we'll figure out what happens with them later. And so for the. You've got some time. You know, you're all kind of coming down from the adrenaline rush of chasing this person and all of this stuff and everything. Is there anything you would like to. [00:06:15] Speaker D: Do before they have their emotional cousin moments? I would like to sidle up to Yuri, please. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:24] Speaker D: Where do I find them? [00:06:27] Speaker E: Probably just in one of the rooms. They're kind of just. They're kind of just resting and bandaging, That's. I said bandaging any wounds they had because they went into this chase. Still kind of hurt? [00:06:44] Speaker D: Yeah. I think Leith finds you sort of leans against the doorframe, not really coming fully into the room, and says, why are you dirtying a bed down here? I assumed you were bunking down upstairs tonight. [00:07:01] Speaker E: Yuri not looking up from managing. Why would you think that? [00:07:07] Speaker D: Because I can see. And I watched that bartender flash his tits at you. [00:07:15] Speaker E: He did not do that. In fact, they don't. They're not entirely fond of me. [00:07:22] Speaker D: That didn't seem like it was going to stop him. [00:07:28] Speaker E: I think it's probably for the best that I don't bother them. I think they just get angrier at me. [00:07:35] Speaker D: Bad breakup? [00:07:37] Speaker E: A breakup for sure was at an inopportune time for me, and I. I wasn't good for them, so they broke it off. Is that what you're looking for? Yes. Yes. They did. Is that the answers you're looking for? [00:08:07] Speaker D: More or less. [00:08:09] Speaker E: They're, you know, they are very kind. If you want to talk to them, their name's Oscar. Just don't tell them you know me. [00:08:15] Speaker D: I think that ship has sailed. They've seen us come in together at least once. I could tell them that we're dating, and maybe they'd get something revengeful out. [00:08:26] Speaker E: Of it, but, oh, no, they know you'd be lying. [00:08:31] Speaker D: I am too good for you, aren't I? Do you need help with that? And she'll sort of come a little more into the room. [00:08:41] Speaker E: I think. I think it's fine. Most of the wounds are from me trying to use. They're gonna, like, kind of wave their hands in the air, like magic. They tend to close pretty fast. [00:08:58] Speaker D: You sure? I've got these. And she sort of wiggles her fingers in the new white healer's gloves. [00:09:06] Speaker E: Okay, fine. Yeah. I appreciate it. [00:09:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:12] Speaker D: And I will use the healer's touch. So you restore 2D6 plus 7. [00:09:23] Speaker A: Wow. [00:09:24] Speaker E: Oh, they come with suit in it. Okay. I was worried you're going to make a medicine check and purposely roll that one. [00:09:32] Speaker D: No, this one. It does not appear to require a medicine check. It's just a once per day should. [00:09:39] Speaker E: Do you want to roll them, or should I? [00:09:41] Speaker A: You can do it. [00:09:45] Speaker E: During this. Yuri would say maybe. Actually, no. They're going to wait till you're almost done with whatever this magic ritual is. It's like. So you match things up with Luke yet? [00:10:00] Speaker D: I'm sure I don't know what you mean. [00:10:04] Speaker E: Well, now I get to say it. I could see they do. [00:10:10] Speaker D: Things seem patched up to you? [00:10:13] Speaker E: Hard to tell. We've kind of been fighting for our lives. [00:10:18] Speaker D: Then there you go. You know how she is. She's not. She's not going to make things difficult working together, so. [00:10:29] Speaker E: Yeah, I still need the doctor. They're going to say that. Kind of like stretching now that the healing has kind of taken effect. [00:10:38] Speaker D: Oh, great. I'll go let your bartender know that you'll be needing some wind down afterwards. [00:10:46] Speaker E: Okay. You. Fantastic. Thank you for the healing. Thank you for helping my damage. And you could go talk to Oscar all you want. I am. Okay. [00:10:58] Speaker D: Leith will sort of get up and go to the door, sort of pause in the doorway like there's something she wants to say, but then leave. [00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah, You, Yuri. You go off in search of Lou. And we'll get to that in just a moment. Gravewing, you're surprisingly given a room on your own. [00:11:29] Speaker C: Oh, wow. Wonder why. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Surprisingly wonderful. [00:11:34] Speaker C: I do take the opportunities to, you know, like, wash up and stuff like that. I don't think I gotta air out my face. I gotta do a lot of stuff. We ran so much. So. Yeah, I think. I think I spent some. Some good quality downtime. Oh, my God. Gotta air out that mask. That. My thing must smell nasty. Just. Just. Yeah. And. I don't know. You tell me. Does someone come to my room or am I left alone to then go to theirs? [00:12:10] Speaker B: There's a. There will be a knock on your door after a little bit. [00:12:14] Speaker C: Mm. [00:12:14] Speaker A: Mm. [00:12:17] Speaker C: I think Bravewing will look for something to cover the eyes just in case. Like, so maybe the goggle part of the mask might be on and just in case. Just in case. And she'll say, come in. [00:12:36] Speaker B: And as Lorelai enters back in her usual regalia, she sort of has a bottle pinched between two of her fingers, and she closes the door behind her, she will slip off the mask and say, I actually managed to find another bottle of that stuff. [00:13:03] Speaker C: You're gonna pop off my goggles. Just be like, so. I mean, well, us in that bottle leads to things. So do you want a conversation before. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Or after we can have it? After or before? Doesn't matter to me. Sort of put. There's like a small table. Put the bottle and two glasses down on it and say, what would you like? [00:13:35] Speaker C: Depends. Are you mad at me? [00:13:39] Speaker B: No, I'm not. [00:13:40] Speaker C: Good, because you're sensible like that. I was about to say, you can't be. Got arrested. [00:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's happened to all of us. And if you hadn't gotten out when you were. I was. Yes, Clover. I was making a plan. [00:14:04] Speaker C: How clo. Did you. How close to the execution date were you aware of that? [00:14:11] Speaker B: About three days before, probably, when I finally got word that you had managed to escape. [00:14:21] Speaker C: More or less. That was the plan. Execute all of us that I'm currently with right now. But I have no idea where they took the other two, so that's. [00:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sent. Been trying to figure that out as well, yet again. Widow completely dropped off the map. Yellowjacket is rumored to be in Silver Court. [00:14:55] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, we get him at the very least. That would be great. Well, I probably should get a message to the kids somehow sometime soon. [00:15:10] Speaker B: Yeah, Gavin's started on the papers. They should be done by the end of the week. [00:15:17] Speaker C: That's pretty good. [00:15:18] Speaker B: Yeah, you should be able to cross the bridges without too much problem. Just keep your heads down and don't cause a problem. And nobody Will have too much of a reason to look at anything too closely. [00:15:32] Speaker A: Mm. [00:15:35] Speaker C: Now, how much do you want to know about the fun and fresh situation that I have just been placed in? [00:15:42] Speaker B: Oh, you know how nosy I am. I want to know everything. [00:15:48] Speaker C: Well, I'm taking sip. I take. Take a sip with a drink. [00:15:53] Speaker B: All right. [00:15:57] Speaker C: Akos got betrayed. He's pissed about it. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Oh. About time someone turned the tables on them. [00:16:10] Speaker C: Yeah, but it would turn out that they were. They are really planning on releasing the tyrant. [00:16:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I've been worried about that. [00:16:25] Speaker C: Yeah, we got a few months at best. What we got until you stall. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Good to know. Well, if my blades can be any help, you have them. [00:16:43] Speaker C: You sure? I mean, world ending thing, it affects all of us. Yeah. But. [00:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I quite like this world, seeing as I live in it. And you know what? I owe you a bit for helping me out more than just the Gavin thing. So if I can help, I want to. And hey, look, I could stick it with. Stick to a bunch of rich pricks. [00:17:13] Speaker C: That's true. Speaking of traveling with three of them. [00:17:17] Speaker B: I didn't notice that. That's interesting. Sadly, none of them have anything worth lifting. I already tried. [00:17:28] Speaker C: One is convicted of murdering their mother. Allegedly. [00:17:35] Speaker B: Pretty sure that's true. From my sister. [00:17:39] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure that's true as well. Basically admitted it to me as much. But is it too much to ask if you could look into what. That. What the mother did? [00:17:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I've got people in most of those houses, so I can have some of them poke around, see if they learn anything. [00:18:01] Speaker C: Look, I'm not. I'm definitely not against a little bit of matricide between friends, but I don't like how connected everything is feeling. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:16] Speaker C: So if we have a lead, then. The more leads we have, the better, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. [00:18:23] Speaker B: It's very true. More things you can act upon. [00:18:28] Speaker C: Screens are being also sus, but they're like always sus. So that's also another. [00:18:34] Speaker B: What else is new? [00:18:36] Speaker C: Yeah, that's another thread. I would. I would not be against just lumping all those rich fuckers together. They probably. I would definitely say like 70 or 80% of them are probably in on this at some point. [00:18:53] Speaker B: At some point. People in power generally want to stay in power. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Speaking of, Cygnus is also part of this. [00:19:05] Speaker B: Interesting. Doesn't surprise me. You think. Think he's behind what happened to Tezrani? Wasn't any of my men. Oh, it has to be her in. Yeah. [00:19:22] Speaker C: Yeah, that has to be has to be. He was. He still is. Very good dog. [00:19:33] Speaker B: That's true. [00:19:34] Speaker C: But I mean dogs bite. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Generally corner a dong and do many things. [00:19:43] Speaker C: That's pretty much it on the heart. Well no, there's definitely a lot more weirder shit going on with the rest of these people that I'm traveling with. [00:19:56] Speaker B: But yeah. They definitely didn't look like your usual. [00:20:04] Speaker C: Good God. No. They mean well. But. I don't know. We all have baggage. I'm just real worried that everyone's baggage is gonna unzip. Those three seem very connected. I mean literally. I mean literally. I think I don't understand all of it. But I'm pretty sure that at least that relationship chart is a reef or a triangle. [00:20:35] Speaker B: Yeah. I can definitely say that. [00:20:40] Speaker C: I don't know. I'm not normally very interested in this messy shit. One mess over another. Please. But that might be my life now. So. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:57] Speaker B: Fortunately. Well, I will keep my ears open for anything about your partners. [00:21:09] Speaker C: That would be great. Would like to see them one last time. If the world, you know, goes to. Literally. [00:21:19] Speaker B: Yeah. There are many things I would like to do with the world truly does go to shit. [00:21:26] Speaker C: List them. [00:21:30] Speaker B: I'd like to see the sun again. [00:21:32] Speaker C: You should go to Dar then. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Maybe I will. I would like for that one night not to be the only time. And there's. There's a cake that's in one of the districts on the other side. It's over in Twilight Grove. There's a baker over in Twilight Grove. There's a cake that I had once. And I would love to taste that thing again. [00:22:07] Speaker C: What's the cake? [00:22:11] Speaker B: It was a lemon poppy seed cake. [00:22:16] Speaker C: Like lemon cake? [00:22:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:20] Speaker C: That's fine. I'm more of a mango cake person. [00:22:23] Speaker B: That's fair. Mango to sound good. [00:22:28] Speaker C: Well I can cross off one of those things on your list like right now. [00:22:34] Speaker B: And which one is that? You about to produce lemon cake from nowhere. [00:22:41] Speaker C: Maybe. I've seen weirder types of magic today. [00:22:47] Speaker B: It's true. [00:22:49] Speaker C: Nah. We do the second thing on the list. Yes. [00:22:52] Speaker B: Yeah. I guess you would. [00:22:55] Speaker C: We fade to black. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Fade to black. And I was gonna tell you this later but I'll tell you this now. You've gained Lorelei as a lieutenant. For fun fact. You can. You can attach lieutenants to specific teams and give them bonuses. Any team that Lorelei leads will get a bonus to any kind of stealth roles. So if you have spy teams, she would be great for that. Also was going to this later. Juniper is also will to act as a lieutenant and Will give you bonuses to any kind of crafting or specific magical roles. [00:23:40] Speaker C: You may need to like, write that down in our chat later. Yeah. So that way I can add it to our gigantic Nox Life inventory spreadsheet. [00:23:50] Speaker B: Oh my God, there is a spreadsheet. [00:23:54] Speaker C: It's huge. Well, it's going to get huge. I added more shit to it. [00:23:59] Speaker B: But somewhere else in the base, the cousins are going to have a conversation. [00:24:09] Speaker E: Where's Lou? [00:24:13] Speaker A: I think after cleaning up and everything, Lou is actually hanging out in the tavern because she's never gotten to do that before. She's socializing and talking to people and trying very hard to see if you can make a friend in a single night. [00:24:33] Speaker B: The answer is yes. [00:24:35] Speaker A: She's here to make friends. Everybody she is using, I think she is using like a single gold to buy drinks for people. So like as much drinks as that will buy. [00:24:49] Speaker B: Gold drinks are like a couple copper. [00:24:52] Speaker A: Oh, okay. She might be a little more frugal than that then. But it depends. Unless all of our money only came in like gold coins, in which case. [00:25:00] Speaker B: She'S like, well, you would have gotten. You've got some silver and probably some copper at least as well. [00:25:06] Speaker A: She's gonna buy a lot of drinks. Maybe not a full gold worth, but she's gonna do her best to make friends by buying drinks because that's what her older siblings have said works. She's never tried it herself. Yuri has mentioned things along those lines, like, oh yeah, you buy drinks to get people to talk to you. In terms of getting information, I assume is what Yuri usually meant. Lou assumes that means that's how Yuri makes friends. So she's trying this method. Yeah. And she's going to make friends. She's going to be flirty about it. She's going to have fun. That's where Lou is. She's having fun. [00:25:47] Speaker E: When Yuri wanders up to the tavern, are they currently talking to anyone? [00:25:55] Speaker A: Yes, possibly a whole group. Okay, then she's probably doing harrow readings for people. [00:26:05] Speaker E: That's very fun. Yeah. I think yur though would just then kind of saddle up and just kind of just like. It's just first gonna like see how the reading is going. Would. Would like just like look at Lou's like, oh, I didn't realize you've already learned how to do this. [00:26:29] Speaker A: I am practicing. I have worn them all. I am just getting started. So I'm not to blame if things are un favorable. But if you have the latest favor, you're gonna win the prize and she'll flip over A card like a little. With a little flourish. And it's probably like a decent card. And then like, as an aside to Yuri goes the deck is called the lady's favor. It is not my favorite, I promise. [00:26:59] Speaker E: I think Yuri, though, would kind of just like play it up as well to the. Your person's like, oh, yeah, that one. That one's really good. Good fortune. You should look. Look down tomorrow. Maybe you'll find some more money. No, I didn't know you were giving everyone good luck. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Somebody has to have it. I sure don't. I think that is my gift. I have no luck because I give it to everyone. [00:27:32] Speaker E: Ah, you should. Should have a name for yourself. Then. [00:27:39] Speaker A: You would think. [00:27:43] Speaker E: Could Yuri kind of flock to people at the table or anyone around and figure out if anyone would be like, really into nerdy stuff so Lou could make friends with them easier? [00:27:58] Speaker B: Look, Lou is doing the one thing that will make people like this become your friend very quickly. Buying them drinks. [00:28:07] Speaker A: Drinks and free fortunes. [00:28:12] Speaker E: I'm going to roll something for myself to see whether or not Yuri feels like doing this. Kurto is like, they don't. They don't want to interrupt this, actually, because for them, I think they're seeing Lou have genuine fun for like the first time forever. They're going to go and say, I'll get more drinks. You just sim around the table. [00:28:45] Speaker A: Bring them on. [00:28:47] Speaker E: N would go back to the bar, get more drinks. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Are you drinking? [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. [00:28:57] Speaker B: Give me a fortune to safe. [00:29:00] Speaker A: Let's see how drunk she is. I don't remember which die I rolled last. [00:29:06] Speaker B: And are you drinking slowly or you just put like a lot of these people around you are just going to be putting them away. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Well, considering what I rolled, I think she's. She's good. [00:29:22] Speaker B: Where you're a social drinker and you don't realize how much you're drinking because everyone else is drinking quite a bit and refilling their drinks. And they're refilling your drink. [00:29:30] Speaker A: And 100% not paying attention to how much she's drinking because she's having a good time. And also she rolled a one and got a nine. [00:29:44] Speaker B: Well, one that's a failure. And let's see what is the actual. [00:29:55] Speaker E: Isn't it like second? It's legitimately. Isn't it just like second fatigued and sickened. [00:30:01] Speaker A: Let's go. I hope we don't get attacked at this tavern. [00:30:04] Speaker B: Yeah, you gain the second condition, but you're at stage one of being drunk. But you do get a plus one saving throw against fear effects. [00:30:19] Speaker E: No, that's worse. That's worse. [00:30:21] Speaker A: Actually. Another round? [00:30:25] Speaker E: Yeah, that's. As Yuri is walking away. [00:30:30] Speaker B: It is a DC12. [00:30:36] Speaker E: Oh, gosh. [00:30:37] Speaker A: I know this is a new episode, but this is my third one tonight. [00:30:42] Speaker E: Wild. I assume Oscar is there still. [00:30:48] Speaker B: Yeah, currently not on shift right now, so just kind of enjoying people's company. [00:30:55] Speaker E: Oh, okay then. Who's on shift? Maybe I could just talk to them instead. [00:30:58] Speaker B: There's a different bartender on shift. Yeah. So you're in kind of like the area below, not the. Not like the upper area where Oscar usually works. [00:31:07] Speaker E: Oh, so are they also down here too? [00:31:10] Speaker B: Yeah, they're part of the bloody blades. [00:31:13] Speaker E: Yeah. I think Yuri would go to the bartender first and ask for two things. Another round of shots for the table over there. Except one of them. Do you have anything that's a sobering agent? Any water? [00:31:33] Speaker B: Caffeine and water? Yes, we can. Tea, Coffee? [00:31:38] Speaker E: Could I. Could you make one of them? Water? [00:31:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, thanks. [00:31:45] Speaker E: I think that's when Yuri would look to the side and see that Oscar is down here and like, oh, going to awkwardly wave. [00:31:59] Speaker B: You get an awkward way back. [00:32:04] Speaker E: Yuri, though, is going to think for a second, I'm going to make a will save against myself. I think on a basic save, I unfortunately passed with a six. So while the drinks are being poured, Yudo is going to look like at the bar, like pretending to just like, look at something, sigh, and go over to Oscar. It's like, hey, I didn't realize you were with this group specifically. [00:32:39] Speaker B: Yeah, well, there's a lot about me that you never realized. [00:32:43] Speaker E: I know. There's always time to learn, right? Fury is definitely kind of like super awkward right now. [00:32:57] Speaker B: They sort of like take a moment and look at you, just like thinking. And they eventually go, I mean, buy me a drink and we'll see where things go. [00:33:13] Speaker E: Yeah, I mean that. Yeah, I think so. I need to first. First of all, I owe you an appropriate apology. Like an actual apology. I. I was shitty. That's all I could say. I was shitty. It was a bad time in my life, which doesn't excuse it. But I was bad. And I, you know, I've grown since then and I never had the time to properly apologize because I do def. Like genuinely feel terrible about how I treated you or didn't treat you, I guess. [00:33:56] Speaker B: Well, apology accepted. Start over. Over drinks. It's been a while. You can catch me up on whatever's going on. I think we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other, according to Clover. [00:34:13] Speaker E: Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Yeah, I should catch you up on that too. [00:34:20] Speaker B: Might be a good idea. [00:34:23] Speaker E: Let me. Let me just take these strings. I need to make sure Lu doesn't get too shit faced. And I could. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I could just let Marianne know. She'll switch the drinks to water. [00:34:37] Speaker E: Yeah, no, I did. Yeah, give me. Give me like five and I'll be back like this. For reals this time. [00:34:47] Speaker B: Like actually, I'll be mel. Be here. [00:34:50] Speaker E: So then Yuri is gonna take that handful of drinks. I imagine it's a bigger table and very like definitely knows which one is the water. Is gonna hand the drinks out and put the water right in front of Lip and look at the table. So things still going well? [00:35:09] Speaker A: I think we are doing wonderful. Someone was getting a regular deck of cards. Someone else was suggesting spin the bottle. And I'm not opposed to it, frankly. So, you know, I think we're about to have a party. [00:35:20] Speaker B: There's one person at the end of the table just goes. [00:35:27] Speaker E: Great. [00:35:29] Speaker A: You can come, but you cannot play Spinza battle with us. [00:35:34] Speaker E: I think I'll have you enjoy your time. I'm gonna. Don't tell Lace. I'm gonna catch up with Oscar. [00:35:45] Speaker A: I knew it. Good. I'm proud of you. I love you. Go have fun. Kiss them. Kiss them a lot. [00:35:54] Speaker E: Now hold on. Just here. And they're gonna. They're gonna tap the water. Cup of water on the table. Drink up. Okay. If you. If you ask the partner, they'll get you more of exactly this drink. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Everyone, shots from my cousins. Hello. Say thank you. [00:36:13] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:36:15] Speaker E: Yes. Yes. If any of you heard her, you're in ditch. Okay, bye. [00:36:22] Speaker A: Sorry, what you said just registered. [00:36:29] Speaker E: Yeah, we don't need to RP the scene between Yuri and Oscar out. They just kind of catch them up over a drink. And I think I just. Just at one point you'd say, maybe we should. When things aren't as bad. Maybe like goal, get a drink. Not at a bar. [00:36:50] Speaker B: Yeah, there's Blue's Tea House and the Dark Light Bazaar. [00:36:57] Speaker E: Yeah, just something else. Cause I know I love random questions. I'm not gonna talk about this all the time, I swear. I'm just. I haven't had the chance to apologize to anyone about anything, so I'm restraining. [00:37:12] Speaker B: Myself from making a joke. Growth. Growth for both of us via Tea House. Dark Lake Bazaar. We'll go there. [00:37:22] Speaker E: Yeah. And I think they still continue chatting. Yuri's definitely going to save this conversation for the next morning, so do not ruin Lou's night. [00:37:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Leith, are you doing Anything. [00:37:36] Speaker D: Yeah. So Laith also does not want to ruin Lou's night and does not want to ruin Yuri's night and does not want to ruin Gravewing's night. And Alastor and Niall are in their getalong sweater and I really don't want to talk to either of them either. But I also just came from the dhampir torture den where, you know, no one really knows that I'm a dhampir. So she does not want to be alone so much. So she will find the first person she can in the bar and hook up with them, spend the night with them. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Definitely. [00:38:15] Speaker E: It's one of the people at the table with Lou. [00:38:18] Speaker D: No, if she sees Lou having fun at the table, she will go to the other side of the bar. I do not wish to drive down. [00:38:27] Speaker A: You will get invited. [00:38:29] Speaker D: I'm stealthing and you are drunk and. [00:38:33] Speaker A: I can't roll like crap. So you probably win this without me rolling. [00:38:37] Speaker E: So you don't know this? Yuri and Oscar? No, I rolled a 14. I know n could beat that easily. [00:38:46] Speaker D: I was going to say my passive is 19. [00:38:49] Speaker A: Fuck it. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, there's plenty of people here, you know, Find someone that is le's type. What is ladies type? I'm just generally curious. [00:39:08] Speaker C: What is it? [00:39:10] Speaker D: I mean, I think they see Lou like having fun playing spoon the bottle with her little court of admirers and just goes for the most opposite person she can find. So someone very like conflict, I think. [00:39:31] Speaker E: Jimmy spill hands. [00:39:34] Speaker D: No, just like, I don't know, some hot criminal butch. [00:39:39] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, they're all criminal butches down here. [00:39:46] Speaker A: Some could be criminal femmes. You don't know. [00:39:49] Speaker D: Yeah, Dusty, he's all right. [00:39:51] Speaker C: I shouldn't generalize. [00:39:57] Speaker B: Yeah. You meet someone, you know, Have a nice night. Where? You know, I don't know how much you're thinking about Lou during the whole thing. It's up to you on that part. [00:40:15] Speaker D: I mean, I think mostly I'm just not thinking about the on the loose vampire kidnapper. [00:40:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a great thing to not think about right now. And the night will roll over into morning unless there's anything else anyone wants to do. Cool. Yeah. Night rolls over into morning and Lou, you learn what everyone else learns when they drink a lot, that it sucks the next morning. [00:40:48] Speaker A: Really? I don't think this is news to her. [00:40:53] Speaker B: It's fair. [00:40:54] Speaker A: It's just the first time she's gotten to do it with other people. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Mm, that's fair. Yeah. Not even the camaraderie can save you the next Morning. [00:41:06] Speaker A: That's okay. [00:41:09] Speaker B: You know, you go to bed alone. [00:41:14] Speaker A: I think went to bed alone on account of being drunk. However, had company all the way up to the door. Yeah. [00:41:28] Speaker B: Some very nice person on the bench made sure to make sure you go back to your room. Okay. [00:41:34] Speaker A: Making out did happen. I also think that when she wakes up hungover and a mess, there is a lot of. She takes a very long time getting ready because there's a lot of plucking that needs to happen first. [00:41:56] Speaker B: Very fair. [00:41:57] Speaker E: I should state for the record, Yuri did go to bed alone. Just for the record. [00:42:04] Speaker C: We know I didn't. [00:42:08] Speaker A: Here we got. Two people got laid. Two people almost got laid. [00:42:13] Speaker B: Yeah. You all kind of gather together early in the morning. You're all fed a nice simple breakfast. Kind of eggs on toast and coffee and tea. [00:42:30] Speaker E: Yurito is going to look at Lou and just. You sleep. All right? You doing okay? [00:42:41] Speaker A: Why do you talk so loudly? [00:42:44] Speaker E: I'm talking at a very normal volume this time. [00:42:49] Speaker A: Please. [00:42:53] Speaker E: You need to get some more water. [00:42:56] Speaker C: Or I can make you some really spicy noodles. It'll wake you right up. [00:43:02] Speaker E: That will wake you up. [00:43:05] Speaker A: Waking up is not the problem. [00:43:07] Speaker C: It'll fix you putting them on. [00:43:11] Speaker A: Why not? [00:43:14] Speaker C: All right. Because Nile is sleeping in and can't protest. Does anybody else want really spicy noodles? [00:43:24] Speaker B: Like, I'll have some not hungover, but. [00:43:27] Speaker A: I'll take some eggs, toast and spicy noodles. [00:43:31] Speaker C: Right. Bunch of fucking noodles coming up. One second. Jesus Christ. What do I roll? [00:43:39] Speaker E: Good crafting. [00:43:40] Speaker C: Oh, no. All right, gal. [00:43:46] Speaker A: Can I give you a drunken guidance or a hungover guidance? [00:43:49] Speaker C: You should do more than that. [00:43:51] Speaker D: Everybody blow. [00:43:53] Speaker C: Blowing has worked so much. What is. [00:43:58] Speaker A: I believe in you. It's just going to be wonderful and beautiful and Nile will weep. [00:44:04] Speaker C: And this is guidance. Guidance is just a plus one. Right? In this plus one. [00:44:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:08] Speaker C: That's so. Oh, my God. Is that enough? I don't think this. I have hero points. This is what I'll use my hero points on cooking. [00:44:19] Speaker E: What was it. Was it under 15? [00:44:22] Speaker C: It's under 15. [00:44:23] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Use it. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. That's why. That's why I'm like. I'm really worried if it's under 15. I don't think. I don't think it's good. [00:44:30] Speaker E: We're all gonna become sick in one second. [00:44:33] Speaker A: 2. I don't know if I slept that off or not. [00:44:36] Speaker C: With my bonus, which is not much. And the guidance and the hero point. 17. [00:44:43] Speaker B: 17 will be enough because I don't think you're doing anything that's Incredibly complex. [00:44:48] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not complex. It's literally just. There are noodles and I know how to make it spicy and I know how to make it creamy. So it's. You're getting. It's. It's going to be a heavy meal and moth mom is probably a little like conscious of the spice level, I think. I feel like that's the only thing she can't necessarily control because she knows what her spice tolerance is and then she remembers what her brother in law spice tolerance is. But her brother in law is insane. That man will do anything for a good meal. So she's just not sure. Full pun intended. Aubrey, this is for you. She's not sure what everybody else is. We met like a week ago, so. Yeah, not sure. Just like, I'm going to assume that y'all can handle it since you were so super down for it. And I feel like it's going to be pretty fucking spicy. Fucking. Yeah. And just. She'll just portion it smaller, basically, so that way, you know, it's. It's just not like too overwhelming for y'all. So it's not a big bowl of ramen, you know, I mean, it's a smaller bowl and everybody. Everybody who wants it gets very orange colored noodles. Red, Orange. Honestly, if. If some of the oil and stuff has turned black at the bottom. But it's like, it's fine. You don't need to drink that. You just need to eat the noodles. I. I need. I. Aubrey, I. I'm requesting everybody makes con saves to handle. [00:46:29] Speaker B: I was gonna have everybody make fortitude saves. [00:46:32] Speaker A: Okay, but like, can I make the argument that strictly speaking, tiefling. [00:46:40] Speaker B: I'll give you a plus one. Jury beats fire on the regulator, literally. [00:46:46] Speaker C: I would argue that everybody should be getting a plus one because either tieflings or people of color. Aubrey. Yeah, sure. [00:46:54] Speaker B: Everybody gets a plus one. [00:46:57] Speaker D: Ari, what are we rolling? [00:46:59] Speaker B: Fortitude to see how well you handle noodles. [00:47:02] Speaker A: Oop. [00:47:03] Speaker D: Cambone is scratching at the mirror for some reason, so I might have to go yell at him in a second, but ghost. [00:47:10] Speaker E: You know our bathroom's haunted. [00:47:13] Speaker C: Yeah, but like, is gay rights in there? [00:47:16] Speaker D: That's what I said. He was staring or. No, it was. Rachata was staring up at the mirror and there was nothing there and nothing in the room. It was really weird. [00:47:25] Speaker A: I mean, it could be ghosts, but cats are also funny about their reflections. [00:47:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:30] Speaker A: Would we have a new hero point? [00:47:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you'd have your last one by now. [00:47:37] Speaker A: I don't want to roll bad for this. And I'm kind of tired of rolling bad and my dice don't care. My dice say screw you. [00:47:46] Speaker E: If I had a nickel for every AP have been a part of where Aki has made spicy needles for the group and everyone had a right folder, two saves, I'd have two nickels. [00:47:57] Speaker B: Oh. [00:48:01] Speaker D: I used my hero point and got a dirty 20. How about the rest of you? [00:48:05] Speaker B: Did you get another one, Ferris? [00:48:08] Speaker A: No. My first roll was a two. My second roll was a total of 12 because I rolled three. [00:48:23] Speaker C: Oh, my God, I guessed it. I went there. You rolled three. Then you kept talking. I was like, oh, I guess it's not a 3. [00:48:30] Speaker A: So the only things I can roll tonight below 5, 19 or above with a hard predilection towards below 5, which is not a. A fun bell curve. Actually, it's an unpleasant bell curve. I need Tick to come back to balance this out because I roll way better when Tick's around. [00:48:57] Speaker E: That's so funny. [00:49:00] Speaker C: Is it because you do the opening recap? [00:49:03] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. The recap is the source of the bad luck. Maybe we have to test this. Someone else says, do the recap next time. I am just so sad. I shouldn't, like, listen. Part of why Lou is the way she is was me going, we're going to be real low level. It's going to be a huge shift from where we were. So we're going to make this character who's not good at things so that when you roll bad, it doesn't feel bad. It still feels bad. Ah, it's fine. She's still hungover and sickened and fatigued. Some of those are gone by now, but I don't know which ones. I never hit the button. I forgot about it. [00:49:48] Speaker B: Fatigue goes away and second will go away as well. [00:49:52] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:49:54] Speaker E: So I got a 29. [00:49:56] Speaker A: Second did not go away. I guess I have to do that manually. You got a 29? [00:50:03] Speaker E: I got a tween. Yeah, I rolled an 18. And I get the plus one from being a T Queen. [00:50:09] Speaker A: I hate you. [00:50:14] Speaker B: Yeah, you. They might be a little too spicy for you Alouettes, but do you. Do you still push on through? [00:50:25] Speaker A: Yeah. She can't not eat them. Gravewing made them and Gravewing doesn't. As far as she's aware, like her, the last thing she's going to do is not eat Gravewing's food. [00:50:37] Speaker C: I will say you're not hungover anymore. [00:50:40] Speaker A: She's many things right now. [00:50:42] Speaker B: You're also not sure you can taste. [00:50:44] Speaker A: For a minute that's probably preferable to whatever her mouth was peeling. [00:50:48] Speaker C: Like, before you turn, you go from pink to red to purple. We get you, like, a lot of milk. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:02] Speaker C: Someone can bring you chocolate maybe. Like, it helps. And. But. But at the Gravewing promised one thing, that it would get you out of the hangover. And it certainly did. You're also wide awake. [00:51:15] Speaker A: They're so good. I don't need anything. They're fine. [00:51:20] Speaker E: Yuri's gonna push over a plate of toast that was on the table as well. [00:51:26] Speaker C: That's great. [00:51:27] Speaker A: I could handle it. Weeping. Openly weeping. [00:51:32] Speaker E: Yuri enjoying this incredibly. So the meal. Not Lu. I should clarify. [00:51:41] Speaker A: I thought you meant that the other thing. That's so funny. [00:51:47] Speaker C: Yeah. If I had a lot of cheese and a couple other things, this would be way better. But I just made it so that way you would stop being hungover. [00:52:02] Speaker E: I mean. Oh, God, me. Dustin needs to ask. This is just like a vegetable base. There's no, like, pork Dunkots or anything. [00:52:11] Speaker C: It's vegetable based. Yeah. Okay, cool. Okay, here's the. If gray wing had, like, egg, then it would be a different thing. But she. I specifically left out egg because I'm feeding vegetarians. And I also do not care necessarily about, like, extra things to make this more pleasant. I'm very strictly making this. This is the quick hangover cure. We were given eggs and toast already. Y'all were just eating fucking bread. Like, you know, bang, bang, bang. There you go. And even then, she only made y'all, like, small, small, small bits. That way you could, like, just have something and then and wake up and shit. Yeah, it was. This was. This is not. This is not her, really. She. She just tried to not kill y'all and then failed at Berluke. So. [00:53:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, it's fine. [00:53:07] Speaker A: She'll be fine. [00:53:10] Speaker C: How'd Lorelei do? [00:53:13] Speaker B: Rolled an 18 on the dice for, like, 27. [00:53:17] Speaker A: Feel like cat drama just happened because they both vacated. Yeah, it's fine. [00:53:22] Speaker D: We're here. [00:53:23] Speaker C: If you would like to know, Nile's opinion on Lunchables is that it's affordable for people with no money, but if you choose it with other options available, he's going to give you a side eye and subtly make you a fancier, better one. So Lunchables are Nile approved, but specifically, if there are other options, you should be choosing other options, which is fair, I think. [00:53:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that tracks. [00:53:53] Speaker C: I also told Tick that Niall can have these noodles the Mothman cooked. And besides, a great amount of interest I got stealing my fucking job. And the answer Is. Yes. [00:54:09] Speaker B: Did you tell them that they've been stuck in the get along room with Alastair? [00:54:13] Speaker C: Oh, not yet. But I'm about to tell them that Ferris has also stole their bad luck for this session. [00:54:19] Speaker A: You're welcome, Tic. You're so welcome. [00:54:23] Speaker B: So Loreline will look over at everybody and say, what's the plan? And currently having the blades remove anything I can from the tunnels so that even if this person comes back, they'll have no equipment to work with. [00:54:40] Speaker C: Well, the current plan was get the documents so that way we can get out of. [00:54:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:50] Speaker C: Starlight. [00:54:52] Speaker B: You'll have your papers by the end of the week. Gavin started working on them last night and works quick. Works well. And for any of the. Any of the stuff when especially passing across the bridge, just keep your head down. Give them no reason to take a second look at you and you should be fine. [00:55:11] Speaker C: They're not gonna. They're not gonna take. Do we need papers for a Hester hunter? [00:55:19] Speaker B: No. [00:55:21] Speaker C: Okay, that's good to know because we have one now. Forgot to mention that. [00:55:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean they're. They're always incredibly useful for traveling and moving goods between. Give them some saddlebags. I'm sure that someone here might be able to get you some saddlebags that have hidden pockets. [00:55:43] Speaker C: That might be pretty good, actually. [00:55:45] Speaker B: Smuggle things between districts. [00:55:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:49] Speaker B: And many things that you should all think about, especially if you're serious about all of this. Masks are a good idea. Especially if you're working. People see your face, it's gonna cause you problems. [00:56:07] Speaker C: You know anyone that can make better masks than what I've got going on right now? [00:56:13] Speaker B: There's a tailor here in the district. Can. She doesn't. She's made many of my masks and outfits, so knows how to keep her mouth shut. Good link. I can send her over to wherever you would. Or you can pay her a visit. Do you feel more comfortable having this conversation in your own base? [00:56:41] Speaker C: That's the fun part. We don't necessarily have a base base just yet, just several little locations that we could stay at. My shop. Not my shop. But you know what? It's legally mine for now. My shop is one of them. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Yeah, well. And as long as you're in the district, you can count the Crow and Hammer as one of your bases as well. Any people to hide out here? We have the space. And yeah, I'll send some people your way end of the week as well with the papers. Once I take a look at our group, I can spare some people and I can help out whenever I can. So I told Gravewing I'm not above striking back at some nobles. [00:57:40] Speaker E: Yuri nods enthusiastically. [00:57:46] Speaker C: So how do y'all feel about masks? You. [00:57:51] Speaker E: Could find one with accompanying hood. I think that'll be good for Yuri's gonna point to the two of us that have horns. Taylor would be a good idea. [00:58:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, lots of things for you all to think about and make plans for. It's the beginning of the day and you still have like three days left of the week, I think. Yeah, I think you're about halfway through the week, so you still have about half week left to go. Do you decide in the morning after everyone has reconvened, to go back to Dark Light Bazaar, catch up with Juniper, figure out anything else that's going on? Juniper may have some ideas on how to get down into Hollow Hunt, but that definitely sounds like a a thing for next time. So Aki, if you want to take. [00:58:52] Speaker C: Us out, I promise I won't do what I did last time. I didn't like the feeling of that on my lips. Thank you for sticking by listening and hopefully continuing to listen with us. If you like what we do, follow us on Twitter, Blue Sky, a bunch of other stuff, Instagram, Twitch, especially Twitch. We have more shit dropping on Twitch. We have more stuff planned to be dropped on Twitch. I think this is coming out in 2025 so there should be happening on Twitch. Go check us out there. Amazing. Oh, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, our stuff. Follow us. Yay, Patreon. We have one of those support us so that way we can do things like get new mics and headphones and other stuff like that. And yeah, I'll see you guys next week. And if you can't eat your problems, them. [00:59:55] Speaker D: That one's a good tagline. [00:59:57] Speaker C: It is a good tagline. [00:59:59] Speaker E: I do like that actually.
