Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sam.
Waking up asleep I've been dreaming Dr. Long. I cannot find meaning.
Hold my hand Let me stay by your side through this never ending night.
I can feel it now it holds me all the these demons around me in this red light because me he is reaching out, consuming.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Welcome back to Goblet of Days. I'm Aubrey ugm. I'll test through my players, introduce themselves, who they are, who they're playing, and then we'll get rolling into things.
[00:01:40] Speaker C: Hi, I'm Aki and I play the vigilante graveling who is a Nagaji self monk and kineticist. We both use she her pronouns.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: Hello, I am Faris, she her and I play Alouette Valer. Also she her, a bardic thaumaturge beast kin doing her best while juggling a family curse, falling in love and of course, the end of the world.
[00:02:05] Speaker D: Hello, I'm Dusty. I use they he pronouns. Name playing € formally Moran, still a problem, just angrier now. They are a blood hunter nephilim problem.
Just.
Just trying to fix things, even though it's all bad. They also use they he pronouns.
[00:02:31] Speaker E: Hello, I'm Sparlock and I play Alistair Whiskerfield, the great rat detective, arcane archer and wizard extraordinaire, the revolutionary firebrand, sworn enemy to the Scriabins and scourge of the bourgeoisie and master of Nicodemus Tower. We both use he, him pronouns.
[00:02:53] Speaker F: Hi, I'm Tick. I use he, she, they pronouns. And today I'll be playing Niall, who uses he, they pronouns. He cooks, he cleans, he eats people and has alien parasite living in his spine, slowly consuming him. What more could you ask for?
[00:03:06] Speaker G: Hi, I'm Alyssa. My pronouns are they, them, and I play Laith Idrisi, the fourth Dampier dandy, rogue, failed matricide with a negative one constitution modifier. Leith uses she any pronouns.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: So who wants to tell me what happened last time?
[00:03:22] Speaker F: Eris, can I be employed again, please?
[00:03:27] Speaker A: No, it's my job now.
[00:03:31] Speaker F: Sending someone to your home address. Anyways, back on my job. Akos brought a cult member into our house and was like, hey, would you like to make a deal with a cult? And we were like, it was a Scarlet Queen cult who I don't like because they're cultists. They say they're not, but they're a cult. But like most cults just don't say that they're cults. That's kind of. That's kind of the whole thing.
So they came in, they were like, hey, I know you already got on this arm. But like, that got you the right to talk to us. And now we want you to do something else for us in exchange, we'll do something for you. Because, like, we have a hundred men and we just kind of went and huddled together and we're like weighing the pros and cons about it. Like, I mean, I don't want to be associated with a cult. We want to help a cult steal and stuff. I don't know. We don't like this cult, but eventually settled on. I mean, theoretically speaking, we could just pretend to agree to help them and then sabotage their side of the mission. And then we can just give a thumbs up to that in a way that they don't know about.
Like Warren, where we're stealing from, which is Ravenswood. We want to rob. We want to rob a school because they rob everyone with those fucking damn tuition fees all the time. Who's with me? Yeah. Anyways, they're going to warn the school or do something to kind of throw a wrench in their plans. But right now Aukus is like, hey, the guy that I fucked is actually the headmaster, so I can introduce you to get some connections.
And honestly, we're working with them, but in a. We don't want to let toddlers have a knife way. So we're taking the knife and cutting the bread. Our.
And also maybe sliding them whole wheat bread instead of white bread. AKA a fake crown. If we can get that to work.
And then Leif, I almost said Lou. I was like, wrong one. You both have L names. Both taking the L's every day. Anyways, Leith took Akos to the side and they had a nice conversation. Akos was like, yeah, I used to be with like the high priest and everything. We had a falling out. Your mom is being controlled by the tyrant Via.
We know, probably parasitic worm. Also her body is crumbling and she's draining the life from others to sustain herself. Wait, that might be why vampires are going missing out. That I'm thinking about it. Your mom just might be sustaining herself on nightmares.
Anyways, that was just a thought that I had in the introduction recap.
So we talked to Akos. We got a lot of good information from him and we are now ready to learn about cult stuff.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: Yeah, and the last thing that you heard before we cut away was Vittorio saying that of all the people he thought he'd still see around, Akkos was not one of them.
[00:05:53] Speaker F: Yeah, that too. That guy's a dilf.
[00:05:56] Speaker G: Anyways, before we start debriefing, I would like to Ask Alouette or Alistair, I think can also do it to just do a little magicky check to see if there's any sort of listening thing that we can identify that they've left.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: I will just start swinging my little pendulum around to see if there's magic in the area.
[00:06:25] Speaker B: There is the normal magic that is around from all of the various magic items that you all have and magic items you've kept here. There's nothing new.
[00:06:36] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:06:39] Speaker A: Up they are.
[00:06:41] Speaker G: The reason Graveyang that I was less concerned about
[00:06:48] Speaker A: these cultists was the sigil
[00:06:53] Speaker G: in the Valere family vault. I spoke to Whiskey and he agrees that it might be something that could contain her. We think that the containment for sort of nods over to Vittoria was based on.
Or rather that the immortality dismemberment ability of Vitoria was based on the Scarlet Queen. And so being able to contain him means that it could be adapted to contain her.
[00:07:34] Speaker C: Oh, all right. I see.
Anyways, yeah, I couldn't read. I can't read. I feel like we're all chill now.
So you can know that
[00:07:50] Speaker A: I was
[00:07:51] Speaker C: technically legally blind in one eye, but. Well, that's the other issue. But yeah, no, I can't read.
Thank you for including me in book club. I just made Laurel. I read them to me.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: That's still an appropriate relation resolution for that. Or would you prefer other people to read? More people to read? Do you still want to be included in book club and is there a better way to do it?
[00:08:24] Speaker C: I don't mind still being in book club. It's not like I don't like books. I just don't read. I can't read.
[00:08:32] Speaker D: Just to be clear, this is a book club reading.
Last time I. Never mind.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: No, continue.
[00:08:44] Speaker C: In terms of actually like things like notes and stuff, I will probably need someone to read them to me. I've just been getting waif to do it.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: Is.
You can ignore this if this is a too personal of a question.
Is it a thing that you cannot do because of injury or something you cannot do because of opportunities you are denied as a youth?
[00:09:14] Speaker C: It's a bit of both.
[00:09:17] Speaker A: So offering to provide an opportunity to learn is not interesting to you? Or is.
[00:09:25] Speaker C: I'm.
It's a little embarrassing. I'm kind of too old for this, so I'm.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: I'm never too old to learn anything.
[00:09:35] Speaker C: I feel a little too old for it. But rest of rest of my family can read pretty decently, especially the kids.
So in terms of how I've gotten. I've just been Getting people to read shit. For me, I think, like, five of the favors that I owe whiskey are all based on reading.
[00:09:59] Speaker A: But if you are ever interested in learning at least the basics, I am happy to show it to you.
But you don't have to if you don't want to. But there's also no.
No embarrassment in learning later in life. I've learned a lot of things, as Peter should have learned a lot younger, you know?
[00:10:20] Speaker C: So thank you for the offer, Lou.
Buff table. It is that immigrant pride thing where it's like, I'm too old to learn this.
That's exactly what it is. Just in case anybody needs context. That's what. That's what that is.
[00:10:39] Speaker A: Liz, you were speaking to Akus for a long time. Did you learn anything interesting that we should know, or were you just threatening him?
[00:10:51] Speaker G: The unbroken necklaces, they all have the same passphrase, but we need a wand to use them, and that is currently in the possession of the High Priest.
[00:11:10] Speaker A: So does that mean that the enchantment upon them is only accessible to the High Priest, not just for random and broken?
[00:11:22] Speaker G: That is my understanding.
Akos designed them, made them, so could always ask him for more details.
[00:11:32] Speaker A: Now, why would he have considered this necessary?
[00:11:40] Speaker G: They also leave a mark when they're removed.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: They can be without, like, killing
[00:11:52] Speaker G: with the wand, at least.
[00:11:59] Speaker C: What does the mark look like?
[00:12:03] Speaker G: Was Akos not dressed slutty? Did he have, like, clothes up?
[00:12:09] Speaker B: He was wearing, like, traveling clothes and clothes that would hide his identity, but he would pull down the collar so you could see it. And it's literally, it's the. Like the circle burned, like, essentially the whole necklace brands, though.
[00:12:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: So it would be like a circle and then.
[00:12:26] Speaker G: Yeah, and it just looks like the chain and pendant circle and lying around their neck.
[00:12:36] Speaker C: Which figure.
If it's the High priest, he has a thing for burning shit into people.
[00:12:45] Speaker G: To be fair, it was, again, Akos who put that little feature into them.
The High Priest was secondary.
[00:12:54] Speaker C: I'm glad they both have the same kink.
[00:12:57] Speaker G: Apparently, Akos was the herald, the mouthpiece of the tyrant. And dear Cygnus didn't like that, wanted to be wholly in control and so took him out of power.
I was gonna say, which involved tearing the magic straight out of his body and stuffing it into my mother's corpse.
[00:13:24] Speaker D: Oh, so they're.
They're working as the tyrant?
They are the tyrant third.
[00:13:34] Speaker G: She's a puppet of the diamond. Akka suggested that if she continues on, she will be further warped by it. But that thing is already not my mother. And she was warped enough before anyway.
But if we face her or anyone else being puppeted by tyrant magic, they might explode if we kill them the wrong way.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: Like.
Like a little poof explosion or like level the city block explosion?
[00:14:20] Speaker G: I didn't ask for the scale. My guess would be at least a building.
[00:14:27] Speaker A: And.
[00:14:31] Speaker F: Excuse me, was my fin your ballpark.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: What's the scale?
[00:14:35] Speaker B: This.
[00:14:35] Speaker F: This seems like worm behavior.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: What's the scale like?
[00:14:39] Speaker B: I don't know. This isn't anything I've encountered before. Definitely not word behavior.
[00:14:44] Speaker F: Wait, wait.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: So the.
[00:14:46] Speaker F: I just kind of assumed that if
[00:14:47] Speaker B: there was something it's not, it's literally just pure magic.
[00:14:52] Speaker F: Okay, so there's no worms involved. I say out loud, yes.
[00:14:56] Speaker A: Wormless.
Wormless behavior.
[00:15:00] Speaker D: Calling your partner seems rude.
[00:15:07] Speaker B: And it brings another level too. Would you love me if I was a worm?
[00:15:14] Speaker F: Nile says yes, of course. Of course.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: They figure out.
I don't know if you should call your partner a worm.
There are kinder things to call them, but.
Oh, go ahead, Yori.
[00:15:31] Speaker D: Well, do we know the right way to kill them?
[00:15:38] Speaker G: In the presence of some sort of vessel to contain the energy.
[00:15:44] Speaker A: Is this the.
Is it other multiple?
Can the puppets puppet mother? Can there be more than one?
Or is it just the one?
[00:16:04] Speaker G: Johnny Rotten?
He had been dead. Was he just reanimated but not puppeted? That was just him reanimated.
I mean, to be fair, that could have been a physical constraint given the way that she died.
But I imagine Johnny didn't die spotlessly the first time.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: No,
[00:16:35] Speaker C: it was kind of a mess.
Honestly, that whole.
That whole era was me leaving a mess. Okay?
[00:16:47] Speaker A: And it is not out of the realm a possibility to simply be resurrected. It takes a lot of magic and money, but it is like a thing that can be done.
And if Jonny was working for the high priest then?
Or if the high Priest just wanted Johnny specifically. I don't think it would be very hard for a man with the tyrant's power to just resurrect someone like a normal resurrection.
[00:17:20] Speaker G: I think I'd rather assume that Johnny was just resurrected and my mother was a useful vessel at the time of destroying Akos's power then to think that Johnny was also brought back in that way and there is some new vessel body that took it when we killed him again
[00:17:48] Speaker D: so they didn't explode.
[00:17:51] Speaker G: The concern would be that he didn't explode because all the power funneled into a corpse or a person.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: Do we know the timeline abovetable of when Lady Ajisi died versus AKA's expulsion. Was that like the same day?
[00:18:12] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:18:14] Speaker A: Why didn't. I guess I can't ask you this because you'd just be telling us, but why didn't Cygnus just get all of Akos's magic? Why the puppet?
[00:18:24] Speaker D: Well, because Cygnus didn't die, right?
[00:18:28] Speaker A: But it was Akos magic who was not dead either. I mean, it's the tyrant's magic in Akos. So why did it go into a corpse instead of just straight to signals?
[00:18:35] Speaker B: Akos did die. Years and years and years, years ago.
[00:18:38] Speaker D: Oh, did we know that they were introduced as a Duskwalker?
[00:18:45] Speaker A: I forgot. It's been a while. We haven't seen this man since, to be fair.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah, it's been. It's been a bit.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: We got a lot of like white haired anime men running around, so it's like we don't even blink at this anymore.
[00:18:58] Speaker C: Liars to Jesus.
[00:19:02] Speaker A: Hey.
[00:19:02] Speaker F: White hair, gray skin. Dusk Walker. Is there something you'd like to tell me?
[00:19:08] Speaker C: Marrow returns.
[00:19:10] Speaker F: Listen, Mira would never be this shitty.
Don't insult my son like that.
[00:19:15] Speaker C: I want to.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Have you. I can't say the things I want to say. I'm telling them in duty, okay?
[00:19:28] Speaker C: Okay.
So Drici's gonna explode if we kill her? Unless we put her in or we put the power in some sort of vessel that is made to contain that.
[00:19:44] Speaker A: Yes, I guess so.
My understanding you were worried about it going to another corpse. Does it have to be a corpse?
[00:19:57] Speaker F: No.
[00:19:57] Speaker G: Ako said that it could be.
Not just a cup, but if we were to construct something specifically to contain it. That work?
[00:20:12] Speaker A: Is it something that Juni would be able to do? Or does it need to be magical?
[00:20:19] Speaker G: We could try asking,
[00:20:23] Speaker A: I guess. We don't have a lot of parameters to give her, but she is very smart.
[00:20:31] Speaker C: We've got a bunch of inventors as well. Surely one of them can do something.
We could do we know anything about the Headmaster? Do we know the Headmaster? The Headmaster is. Was. No, right? Not a part of the cult.
[00:20:52] Speaker A: Yeah, because Ako said that on the way out. Wait, Ako said that to everybody? Right?
[00:20:56] Speaker G: I thought so, yeah.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: Okay. I wasn't sure.
Well, potentially we could trade that information with them.
Might be something that we could look into eventually. If we're able to establish some form of relationship.
I hate words.
Right now.
It's too cold for me to think.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:21:31] Speaker G: The other thing was that while he seemed unable or unwilling to give a list of Unbroken members at the time of his expulsion, Ako suggested that there might be a roster in his old apartment. I doubt that the high priest would have left that undisturbed, but who knows?
[00:21:56] Speaker C: That's certainly something we might want to get our hands on.
Also feel like he's trying to make us check his mail or something. Bro, water is dead ass plants
[00:22:13] Speaker A: do.
I suppose the next thing we need to do with any immediacy is to notify revenue that things are about to happen.
Did we get a time for when they want to do that?
[00:22:31] Speaker C: Nothing yet.
I'd say wait a little bit until we know a little bit more, maybe. I mean, we could send them a cryptic message. You know, hey, we.
You will be attacked eventually.
[00:22:46] Speaker A: No. Yeah, I'm not sure.
[00:22:48] Speaker C: They all seem. They all seem like the too curious for their own good type.
[00:22:56] Speaker E: We can't be cryptic about it, because if they do, if we're cryptic, then they will strengthen security in a way that will let our allies.
I say in quotes that nobody can see but the people on the call, that the way that ally. Our allies will realize that they've been tipped off.
So we need to give specific information to the relevant people
[00:23:34] Speaker B: and see if the headmaster could swap out the thing with a fake, and then they'll just steal that.
[00:23:43] Speaker E: And as someone that is.
Well, can I leverage my history to convince someone?
Like, do I feel that would be within my wheelhouse? Because I could definitely get in there pretty easily.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: You could, certainly.
[00:24:06] Speaker E: I'm not sure how bad my exit went.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: Yeah, you have, I think, the better chance than some other people having been a student, but.
Yeah, you're not like, the student that they have a portrait made of and displaying me, like, look at this. Graduated.
[00:24:30] Speaker E: That guy was an.
I want you to know there are
[00:24:34] Speaker F: portraits of the do not let into the building list.
[00:24:39] Speaker D: Well, that.
[00:24:46] Speaker E: Okay, yeah, I will. I will suggest that I can figure out the specific people we need to tell so that we can keep it quiet while also letting them prepare a defense.
[00:25:04] Speaker F: Aubrey, I have, like, a really odd question, actually.
So I go to Ravenswood sometimes to go check up on my parentheses doctor. Do I have, like, a visitor's pass or do I just sneak in every single time?
[00:25:17] Speaker B: You don't go into the main building.
[00:25:19] Speaker F: Okay? It's just like the. So you can just enter into the side buildings without permission and just be like, yeah, let's terrorize this. I mean, I guess that's how everyone's been going missing, huh?
[00:25:29] Speaker E: Did I be your pocket rat?
[00:25:33] Speaker F: I can't get into the main building. I can go to the student dorms and harass one person. I mean, I don't know if they've let us in. I don't know if I want to evolve her in any of this. To be honest, I say that in character and out of character.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: Go visit your physician friend. Release the pocket rat onto the population
[00:25:54] Speaker F: it brat.
[00:25:55] Speaker D: You want 3? Step 4 profit.
[00:25:59] Speaker F: You want me.
You want me to talk to my physician who's already been helping me more than anyone could ever know and convince her to bring Alistair into the school in her pocket to smuggle him inside to have him basically break in and help the rest of us get in?
[00:26:16] Speaker D: Yeah, just. Just tell him it's not a normal rat. It's a man.
It'll help.
[00:26:24] Speaker F: I'm not doing that, but thank you.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Okay.
Oh,
[00:26:32] Speaker E: I wanted to be a pocket rat.
[00:26:35] Speaker A: You can always be a pocket rat, Alistair.
You don't need a reason.
[00:26:40] Speaker E: I. Can I turn into a rat and like crawl up on you?
[00:26:49] Speaker A: I gave you a pat on the head and a cheese.
[00:26:52] Speaker E: My. My neck. My existence for the next 10 minutes
[00:26:56] Speaker A: just sleeping in my pocket again.
[00:27:00] Speaker D: I.
I don't have a great relationship with the battle instructor. I don't know that'll be useful. They are the battle instructor, not the headmaster.
If we want to a mastering it. I don't think it'd be useful though.
You sure we. Alistair, you can't fly.
That's all right.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: Squeak, squeak squeak.
[00:27:24] Speaker A: You squeak squeak.
[00:27:26] Speaker D: Gonna look dead pan at Lou.
[00:27:30] Speaker A: Oh, you know what? Hang on.
[00:27:33] Speaker F: Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: I say out loud I'm gonna talk with animals.
[00:27:42] Speaker G: Oh, wait. Rat is creature of the night, right?
[00:27:47] Speaker D: Oh, you guys have so much in common.
[00:27:50] Speaker G: What's Alistair saying?
[00:27:54] Speaker E: Okay, Can you ask the the question again out of character? Just because I was busy thinking thinking I'm in a rap form. How am I going to answer this?
[00:28:15] Speaker D: So you can just fly into the building randomly?
[00:28:20] Speaker E: Not unless you have a slingshot.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: Do you have to be a rat or can you be like a bat or a small bird?
Like a pigeon? Things that are considered with all my
[00:28:37] Speaker E: magic in that way.
[00:28:40] Speaker A: Oh, I see.
I. I think they are very similar to rats in a very flattering way.
[00:28:45] Speaker E: But that's the. The in character response. The out of character response is technically my level one spell. I do actually have pest form but in character I think I would be offended by the idea of turning into a different pest form.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: Is the pest form like related to. You are a rat so you must be a rat.
[00:29:10] Speaker E: Well, the.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: Because like if I took pest form, I could only be small vulture.
[00:29:17] Speaker E: I have the level five racial feat But I also have the wizard archetype pets pest form spell okay, got it,
[00:29:25] Speaker C: got it, got it.
[00:29:26] Speaker E: But I specifically like I learned how to be a rat to be a
[00:29:31] Speaker A: rat would Alistair be willing to become a rat with wings?
[00:29:39] Speaker E: That's what slingshots are for now that's
[00:29:43] Speaker A: how you get a splat rat.
[00:29:45] Speaker G: Is corpse moth strong enough to carry Alistair in through a window?
[00:29:51] Speaker A: What if moth eat Alistair?
[00:29:54] Speaker E: Is that a northern or European corpse moth?
[00:29:58] Speaker B: They're the size of cats the corpse moths are the size of cats so
[00:30:04] Speaker A: they can carry a coconut is what
[00:30:06] Speaker D: you're telling me I should say I'm a good shot.
I could probably get this there in
[00:30:12] Speaker C: the window My only contributing fun fact is that corpse moths kind of taste
[00:30:19] Speaker A: like chicken oh, I've heard the same thing about crickets anything to eat it's
[00:30:26] Speaker C: like hard and gamey at the same time It's a little weird
[00:30:32] Speaker E: but even the pest form I do have full Alistair hit points and it's not like 5e where you get hit down to your thing and turn back I could, I could survive being slingshotted through a window you could defenestrate my rat form
[00:30:53] Speaker D: or
[00:30:57] Speaker B: to say I'm pretty sure that's refine somebody I think it's just fenestrating
[00:31:03] Speaker C: I'm about to fenestrate the rest fell this conversation doesn't wrap the up oh my God. What's happening?
80% of this is blooper real. I think I don't know what's happening.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: I think, I think it's, I think it's.
[00:31:18] Speaker E: You wouldn't.
[00:31:19] Speaker A: It's squeaking Characters can just go to bed now.
We do not have enough information to act on right now. Go to bed.
[00:31:30] Speaker E: If I may before we go to bed Alistair needs to talk with Yuri briefly because Yuri, you need to work on your we are anathema like we need to be able to, you know, put fear into the hearts of our enemies and you sound you sounded with our possible allies like after you ghost your exes and they're asked about their relationship status
[00:32:10] Speaker F: Relationship status? I'm making a giant army to kill this fucker.
[00:32:14] Speaker E: We're anathema.
[00:32:18] Speaker D: I, I, okay, okay, no, this is constructive criticism on the stair. I appreciate it. However, I was just, I, I, I was just pointing a gun at them
[00:32:29] Speaker E: to be fair all the more reason say it with me. We are anathema.
[00:32:37] Speaker D: I will not say it with you but I do appreciate the criticism.
[00:32:43] Speaker E: Okay, thank you. I had to get down my system
[00:32:47] Speaker C: I stayed for the whole thing
[00:32:50] Speaker A: I
[00:32:51] Speaker C: Stayed for the whole thing. And I'm. I'm going to tell people what happened too, if they didn't stay.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: So it rolls into the next day.
It's the day after your Rebellion actions.
What would you like to do?
That isn't refenestrating a rat.
[00:33:12] Speaker F: Well, technically it's defenestrating.
[00:33:14] Speaker C: Oh my God, it's not.
[00:33:17] Speaker D: But we're moving on.
[00:33:19] Speaker F: Okay,
[00:33:26] Speaker E: But we. We should. We can warn them in the course of our normal activities.
Like, we don't want to change the way we interact with Ravenswood.
[00:33:38] Speaker C: I mean, I like the YADO X thing because at the very least, even if the relationship is bad, that guy is going to know. And when it does happen, or maybe like we can paranoia him a little bit. So it's just like, ah, I was here when it happened. You know, some like that.
But like, otherwise I feel.
True. Exactly.
Also otherwise I feel like this is a rebellion action.
It feels like a setup type rebellion action. I think we should leave it as a rebellion action to do upon the. The next week. Because it just. It's just. It's gonna play a lot better that way. I mean, by all means though, if you want to show go there. Yuri, you want to go there. You know, see your ex, who I think this one doesn't have the best relationship with you. I personally would like to add that to the small compilation of Yuriodo interacting with their exes. I think it's very fun.
[00:34:38] Speaker D: I.
Yurido specifically said only if everyone thinks it's a good idea. You think it's a great idea because it'll be useful.
They're not Headmaster.
[00:34:48] Speaker C: You gotta go be extremely useful for the Battle Master.
[00:34:52] Speaker A: Even more useful than the Headmaster.
I think it's also important for Yuriko as part of their apology tour.
That has to be pretty open knowledge by now. With as many exes as you have apologized to.
[00:35:08] Speaker C: Where has a fan club. You know you're exactly a fan club. Actually, I think it's extracurricular for sure. But
[00:35:19] Speaker A: they have a group chat. All of your exes are in a group chat.
100%.
[00:35:24] Speaker D: They all go to the bookstore.
[00:35:27] Speaker A: The longer you put up apologizing to the rest of them, the more upset they're gonna get. Because now they know you're apologizing.
Yeah.
[00:35:35] Speaker C: And they and they might know assume that you are apologizing in what are favorites.
[00:35:41] Speaker D: I haven't even talked to the one that's become a member of the Rebellion.
[00:35:47] Speaker C: Exactly. And you don't think they're talking mad shit and monthly World.
[00:35:53] Speaker A: That's what you think?
[00:35:55] Speaker C: Yeah, I was like. You always had a conversation with them. Did you ask them?
[00:35:59] Speaker D: I. Okay, I could go there, but we could do other stuff beforehand to do useful stuff.
[00:36:07] Speaker C: I think it's very useful to, you know, tie up loose ends.
[00:36:11] Speaker D: But do I want to take Alistair in my pocket?
[00:36:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:19] Speaker G: So then when the Battle Master throws you out of the school, you can eat Alistair through the window.
[00:36:26] Speaker C: Oh yeah. This is going to be amazing because I'm assuming a Battle Master has very good perception. So not only will you get thrown out, but they will witness you throwing a rat into the establishment like some fucking heathen.
[00:36:42] Speaker A: You know how some people like toilet paper buildings? You just throw rats through windows.
I think Yuri should talk to the ex. I do want to talk to Vittorio at some point. It doesn't have to be today, just at some point.
[00:36:56] Speaker C: I also want to talk to Vittorio.
Get in line.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: No, I'm kidding.
[00:37:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I will get in line.
[00:37:05] Speaker C: Trying to think. Is there anything else that we, we should do besides eventually have another meeting with these scarlet hoes?
So that way we can actually discuss a plan. But I feel like that is a, that's a next session type of thing.
So anything else that we need to fucking do?
[00:37:29] Speaker A: Everything
[00:37:31] Speaker C: did we want to do the infiltration thing where we would ghost for the sole purpose of gathering intel, but in person to.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: I don't think we need to now.
[00:37:44] Speaker C: Yeah, like if we're going pure chaos and let's just go pure chaos, cuz we won't. The thing is, you know, like we're going in a little bit, little bit blind, you know, like we don't know like the layout, the patrol, nothing. But if we're going in with a hundred hoes, you know, in theory where we don't need that. But like. Yeah, that's a example.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: Plus I think if we.
The problem with doing the reconnaissance depending on how we do it is that it is just a very high risk activity. If anything goes the slightest bit wrong,
[00:38:14] Speaker C: we should maybe try to also find a place to keep our potential people that we rescue because we don't know how many people we're trying to get out.
You might want to find.
[00:38:25] Speaker A: I gotta clean up Talus's mansion.
[00:38:27] Speaker F: Oh yeah, we gotta clean up.
[00:38:28] Speaker C: Okay, yeah, we could do that.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: No, no, no, no no no.
[00:38:33] Speaker C: You're more, you are more needed on the front lines.
[00:38:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, so you can put your ass.
[00:38:41] Speaker C: Yeah, the front lines, you know, this is your front line battle. You gotta, you gotta go, go, go go meet your ex's. Greet, meet and greet style. You know, charge them 25 for a photo.
[00:38:53] Speaker D: No, no, no. They are a very nice person, to be fair. Just short tempered.
[00:39:00] Speaker C: How I want to go.
[00:39:00] Speaker A: I read why you broke up. I don't think.
I don't think they were the problem.
[00:39:05] Speaker C: Why? Why did they break up? Why do they break up? There's a book about this.
[00:39:09] Speaker A: You're not.
[00:39:10] Speaker D: That was out of character.
Look, look.
No, you're right.
[00:39:20] Speaker F: Just a little bit shorter. You know,
[00:39:25] Speaker A: it's been a. It's a new week, right, Aubrey, Have I heard back from any other sibling that I asked to meet with.
[00:39:38] Speaker B: You? Have you've. You've gotten a message from Peregrine.
[00:39:42] Speaker F: Cool.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: That's.
Honestly, I mean, yay. I'm excited about Paragrim. But also that was not the one I was worried about. So.
[00:39:52] Speaker D: Cool.
[00:39:54] Speaker A: Nonetheless, I will respond to her response and see what if she wants to like, hang out, she would be down
[00:40:03] Speaker B: for grabbing for chatting at some point this week. Just let her know she just got back into town from an adventure.
[00:40:15] Speaker A: I'll just tell her. I'll let her pick, but I'll just say a word if it is.
Make it somewhere we can talk.
[00:40:24] Speaker B: She'll send you something.
Now, who wants to talk to grandpa?
[00:40:29] Speaker C: You could talk to people first.
[00:40:31] Speaker F: I just imagine there's a lot of people that want to talk to people.
[00:40:34] Speaker A: There's a line outside his door.
[00:40:37] Speaker C: It could be funny if you want.
Where. If I go first and then you catch me leaving.
[00:40:43] Speaker A: That's true. That's true.
[00:40:45] Speaker F: Go ahead.
[00:40:46] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:40:48] Speaker C: What's Peaw doing? Aubrey?
[00:40:51] Speaker B: He is reading and drinking tea.
[00:40:56] Speaker C: I will walk over, realize that he is reading a book and go, was that.
[00:41:09] Speaker B: This is. This is the book of poetry I found in the library.
It's fascinating.
[00:41:16] Speaker C: Is it new to you?
[00:41:18] Speaker B: Yes. It's by someone named Zasal.
[00:41:23] Speaker C: I put a hand. Put a hand over my mouth because I know what that is.
[00:41:26] Speaker A: And.
[00:41:26] Speaker C: And then I put it back down.
I just go, that's.
That is.
That is Yuria Do's.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: Oh, that certainly puts things into light.
[00:41:45] Speaker C: Apparently there's a bunch of. Bunch of poetry about him talking.
[00:41:51] Speaker G: Him
[00:41:53] Speaker B: that can certainly.
Yeah, I can see that.
[00:41:57] Speaker C: Is it there.
Is that real?
[00:42:04] Speaker B: It's most of this book.
[00:42:08] Speaker C: Can you read it to me?
I really want to know what it says.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: It is. It is certainly a lot of poetry about how much of a Cad Irido is, but never by name.
[00:42:26] Speaker C: That's journalism. That's.
That's respectful.
Is gonna stop him after like, like, like a couple Because I don't want him to read the whole book to me or anything like that. But it's purely, fully, very abused.
And she goes, I. I forgot why I came here, but thank you for that. That I needed.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: You're welcome.
It certainly seems like it's been busy the past few days.
[00:43:00] Speaker C: Yeah. We took down Humble.
Are you aware of the.
The Blades. Not to be confused with the Bloody Blades.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: Yes, I was informed by one of the. The people that works here.
[00:43:24] Speaker A: Good.
[00:43:25] Speaker C: Because my opinion, we took down the worst of them.
[00:43:29] Speaker B: Yes, Mr. Rotten.
[00:43:32] Speaker C: Yes, the sick freak is probably the nicest. Yeah.
You don't even know.
But that would bring us down from six to four. So big plays back to back.
[00:43:57] Speaker A: Kind of nice.
[00:43:59] Speaker C: Now we're going to do a jailbreak or something, so, you know, enjoy, I guess, the quiet while it lasts.
[00:44:10] Speaker B: I think that's what we have to do in times like this. Enjoy the little moments.
[00:44:16] Speaker C: All right.
I'll leave you to you, I guess.
[00:44:23] Speaker B: Did you any questions or anything for me?
[00:44:29] Speaker C: Kind of forgot why I came here, but you seem like you're in a good mood. I don't want to ruin it.
[00:44:38] Speaker B: Okay, well, if you remember what you wanted to ask.
Always ask me.
[00:44:45] Speaker C: Mm.
[00:44:47] Speaker B: I spent 75 years locked in a vault.
It's really hard to make my mood be that bad again.
[00:44:56] Speaker C: Fair point.
I am gonna dip.
[00:45:01] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:45:04] Speaker C: What was I gonna say? Oh, I like above table.
I'll put something into Grave Wing's head. And she was gonna be super blunt about it, but got distracted by the. By the book of Uri Isms. So I'm just. So she's gonna leave that for another day?
You implied that he might be into her, and she was gonna be super blunt about it.
Coward.
[00:45:30] Speaker F: You.
[00:45:31] Speaker C: No, she had a good day. Let her have one good day.
[00:45:37] Speaker F: I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna go up to him next and ask. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
[00:45:44] Speaker C: But, yeah, no, I'm. I'm good now. I guess I walk into Lou.
[00:45:51] Speaker A: Hello. Were you. Were you talking to Lord Valer?
[00:45:58] Speaker C: Yeah, for a little bit.
He's bored.
[00:46:04] Speaker A: Oh, that is a problem. I will.
[00:46:11] Speaker C: Why do you.
Why do you call him Lord Valere?
[00:46:17] Speaker A: Well, because he is the patriarch of the family.
And that is just how you address other family members are not your immediate ones.
[00:46:33] Speaker C: You should try being less formal.
[00:46:37] Speaker A: Maybe.
Harder happy to work with family than anyone else, I think.
[00:46:48] Speaker C: Well, no better person to try it on. You don't know him. You don't owe him anything.
[00:46:57] Speaker A: I feel responsible for him.
[00:47:04] Speaker C: So you'll just call him Lord Valer the whole time.
[00:47:11] Speaker A: Well, I mean it is.
I mean it is what he is. It is who he is. It is better him.
[00:47:20] Speaker C: He's been locked and your family
[00:47:25] Speaker A: tomb
[00:47:26] Speaker C: vault, I don't know, for like 75 years. Technically he owns nothing and is nothing.
But he is your family, so I mean, might be a little nice.
[00:47:42] Speaker A: I will bear that in mind.
[00:47:48] Speaker C: Just gonna not. She'll give you like a very strong dot and continue on her on her way. This is. This is just grave wings gonna choose to keep her good mood.
That's what today is, not choosing violence.
I shouldn't say violence. I mean like super bluntness, but you know what I mean.
[00:48:12] Speaker B: Damn, Lou. You see Vittorio reading one of Cecil's poetry books, drinking tea.
[00:48:21] Speaker A: Lou's gonna clock the title.
Know that the reason it's in this library is probably because she bought multiple copies and then say.
Excuse me, am I interrupting or did you have a few moments?
[00:48:40] Speaker B: Of course I have. I have plenty of time. I close the book and sort of side just reading, enjoying the small things.
[00:48:53] Speaker A: Grape Wing said that you are bored. Is there anything I can do to entertain you in any way?
[00:49:01] Speaker B: Oh, this. This is fine.
Honestly. I will take being bored.
It is certainly a step up from how I spent the last 75 years.
[00:49:17] Speaker A: Well. Well, yes, I would imagine anything is, but I. I don't think that you need to.
I don't think laying low should be equivalent with low expectations.
[00:49:30] Speaker B: And I mean, I haven't gotten to enjoy a good book in a while. I would say I'm not really bored.
[00:49:39] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
If you are busy, I don't have to. I. I can come back another time. This is.
[00:49:46] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. What.
What did you want to discuss?
[00:49:54] Speaker A: I know that we sort of.
I think I said this tutorial. Maybe I forgot. This might be news to him. I don't remember.
I know we sort of mentioned it briefly in passing down when we are in the hall, but it has occurred to me that I really should discuss it at more length before I follow through with any of my half picked plans.
It is about the Valeres, just in general and ruining them on purpose because you are technically the patriarch. Even if they are unaware. I am aware and you know, in a form or sense of things. I would have already inserted you. You know, apart from the part where I want to ruin the family name forever and always and do you nobilize.
[00:51:01] Speaker B: But I'm certainly down for that plan.
[00:51:04] Speaker A: Okay, good.
Great. That is good.
Okay, good.
You're sure that is Okay.
I suppose it's not really ruining your legacy because that's been done for a while.
They burned all of your portraits.
Sorry.
[00:51:28] Speaker B: It's okay. I guess that I probably had when you didn't immediately recognize me.
[00:51:35] Speaker A: If it is any congregation. I'm not even in the family portrait either. So I have one I've just, you know, tacked on the side.
And they don't like Yorimot either. We're not very representative of the Valer's right now.
[00:51:53] Speaker B: I think you're peaked. You are the best representation of the village right now.
[00:51:59] Speaker A: Lou straight up, almost starts crying and just stops it through sheer force of will.
That is very kind of you to say.
I.
I don't remember if you were part of this conversation or not because the time in the hall was sort of a blur of bad news.
And I don't really remember how much of it was outside and how much of it was screaming in my head.
My father, who is not strictly speaking of a lair, but is as far as they are concerned now is part of the unbroken, as is at least
[00:52:45] Speaker B: remember something about that.
[00:52:50] Speaker A: My oldest sister is also unbroken.
I don't know how many more of my siblings might be.
Really. That's not really a question. I'm just telling you this.
I don't know who else to tell about it.
[00:53:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's.
I know the feeling. I watched it happen to my son.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
Seems that our family has a hard time doing the right thing, huh?
[00:53:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
Unfortunately, I learned that the right thing was too late.
And I will be paying for it with every single breath I take for the rest of my life.
[00:53:49] Speaker A: I have to eventually go home and confront them and I don't know.
I don't know what to do about it.
Yeah.
[00:54:10] Speaker B: Certainly go with you when you do,
[00:54:16] Speaker A: but. That is a very kind offer, but I. I don't want to put you in danger. I don't know.
[00:54:25] Speaker B: This would be dangerous.
[00:54:31] Speaker A: It's true.
[00:54:31] Speaker B: And sometimes what little we have left of the family must stick together.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: I have spent so long trying to.
Be wanted by them.
It's hard to not still try to earn their approval.
[00:55:04] Speaker B: I understand.
Sort of shifts and puts his hands on your shoulders and say, what I've seen in the past couple of weeks is somebody who is incredibly brave and incredibly selfless.
I'm very proud of you, of everything you've done and standing for the right thing.
[00:55:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Lou's crying.
She's trying really hard not to, but she's definitely crying.
[00:55:44] Speaker C: And
[00:55:48] Speaker A: instead of responding in a normal way to Any of that she's going to say.
I don't know what to call you.
[00:56:00] Speaker B: Just. Just call me Vittorio. We can figure everything else out later.
[00:56:08] Speaker A: Are you sure? But that's not too familiar.
[00:56:18] Speaker B: You can't call me grandfather if you want. I guess. But that's. That is if you're comfortable with it.
[00:56:26] Speaker A: I will bear it in mind.
[00:56:28] Speaker B: But for now, just Vittorio. I'm not the head of house. There is no need to Lord Father, me and just Vittorio or Uncle Victorio. If you really just.
[00:56:48] Speaker A: That's not bad. It's inaccurate, but that is. Okay.
Okay.
[00:56:57] Speaker C: I am.
[00:56:59] Speaker A: I am. I am borrowing of a terrible plan.
And I think I need to refine it a little more before I bring it up with anyone else. But I would like to bring it to you first for dealing with the family.
I think it is maybe deeply unethical, but I don't know what else to do with them because I don't think I could ever hurt them.
[00:57:40] Speaker B: I understand. Deadly way they could never bring myself to hurt my son. I understand.
[00:57:51] Speaker A: Thank you for your help with the just sort of gestures at the bird themselves.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: Of course.
[00:57:59] Speaker A: It has been very helpful and not being more bird than I am.
And I did get it to go away once it was important.
So thank you.
Okay, bye.
[00:58:17] Speaker B: Okay, be safe.
[00:58:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, of course.
[00:58:31] Speaker B: Doesn't know what else to say at this moment.
[00:58:34] Speaker A: That's why she's gone.
She pulled the eject button on the conversation.
[00:58:48] Speaker B: Anyone else want to bother Grandpa?
[00:58:53] Speaker G: Grandpa for greeting the dating advice.
Ask grandpa for what dating advice before going out to meet.
[00:59:03] Speaker F: Why don't I need dating advice?
Oh, yeah, Dusty, you should get dating
[00:59:11] Speaker A: how to patch things up with your ex advice over Go.
[00:59:18] Speaker F: Here we go.
[00:59:22] Speaker C: Irving also has very good experience with patching things up with exes. Okay? She has no bad relationships with her exes. The riz on this woman is ridiculous.
That's just being very hyperspecific.
No, no, no, no. It's very hyperspecific. It specifically only works against people that are 6ft tall with prominent noses.
[00:59:48] Speaker F: I love her.
[00:59:51] Speaker A: I need you know that this is
[00:59:52] Speaker C: like an accidental type. Okay?
[00:59:54] Speaker A: But it's.
[00:59:54] Speaker C: The fact that it's happened four times is kind of nuts.
[01:00:00] Speaker B: There's a pattern here.
[01:00:04] Speaker F: Cause graveling has a type.
[01:00:07] Speaker C: The type has grave wing. What do you mean?
But yeah, no, the only thing I want to kind of. I don't have to RP any of this, but I would like to find time at some point to go back to Silver Court so I can go to the midnights I'm worried about
[01:00:37] Speaker A: the
[01:00:37] Speaker C: ease of travel between here and Silver Court solely because we are gonna be doing, like, a jailbreak. Not a small one, a big one.
And so that means I might soon, might not be able to see the kids anytime. Also have no idea how compromised they are either. Like, it's just like, kind of like slowly building.
So definitely want to check in with them, see how they're doing, see if they know what the is up, and also potentially discuss us moving the kids also. I don't know. I don't think the kids have gotten a chance to see Widow yet because we've wanted.
It's been, it's been a bit.
[01:01:27] Speaker B: It's, It's, It's. She's been clean of the, clean of the indoctrination for about two weeks.
[01:01:32] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Okay, then. Okay then. I think they have. And it should be, it should be okay. Yeah. I also have the little heat packs that Lou made, so I gotta give it to them too.
So there's a few, few things I have to go and do, but it doesn't necessarily have to be RP'd. I do want to ask, though, about, like, how they're doing.
How is the, how is area doing and potentially moving them? Slash the kids. Them and the kids. It's like, they can come if they want to. My. I don't know. If not. Like, I'll take the kids and I'll take Proxima as well. Like, if they're worried about greater safety. Because I'm worried about greater safety in the very near future.
[01:02:17] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, they will, they will definitely be down for relocating somewhere.
If you have some place in mind, you could do the row. You could do somewhere in Starlight Bastion.
There's a few places you're pretty sure are, like, the Tarot shop still, like, abandoned and in good enough shape that somebody could at least fix it up.
[01:02:41] Speaker C: Oh, the tarot shop.
Oh, that might be a good place just to, like, hole up in general too.
Yeah, maybe. I definitely, I just, I want to relocate them. I just don't. Especially with the big jailbreak coming and then we're throwing Scarlet Hose there. Like, I, I, I would feel safer just moving them.
[01:03:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:03:06] Speaker B: You, you can do that and spend the time and, like, start the process of moving them.
It'll take a few days that they.
[01:03:15] Speaker C: Yeah, of course.
[01:03:18] Speaker B: And the, the midnights also let you know that they reached out to the Black Powder Collective and the, the, the ship that Tristan's possible half sibling is captaining.
Should be in Malach within two weeks.
[01:03:43] Speaker C: Really good.
That's really good information because I do want to tackle that when we are allowed to breathe again.
Good to know. Good to know. That's. Those are things I'm doing
[01:04:00] Speaker G: real quick. Does not have to be RP'd out. But I want to tell Nadia what I learned about our mom and just let her know how things are going. Keep her a little more in the loop and.
[01:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah, you can do that. And I ask, what is the plan for Ravenswood? Letting the person. Letting the. Trying to meet with the headmaster or get a message to them or anything like that. What is the plan you were gonna go with?
[01:04:34] Speaker A: We were waiting till we had like a timeline, right?
[01:04:42] Speaker B: And then. Okay.
[01:04:42] Speaker A: Yuri was gonna talk to the Battle Master.
[01:04:47] Speaker C: I believe it. It is. I'm pretty sure we're waiting for a timeline because we. Alistair didn't want to run the risk of them like, potentially upping security too soon.
[01:05:00] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you can certainly reach out to.
To Akos and set that up.
[01:05:09] Speaker A: Side note, do we know where his old apartment is? It's a roster.
Grave Wing went to go physically see the Midnights, right?
[01:05:19] Speaker C: Yes. So, I mean, if more people want
[01:05:21] Speaker A: tag along while you're there,
[01:05:26] Speaker C: you know what, why the. Not like this could be my secondary stop. So if other people want to come and do this part too, then that means you just got to see my kiddos.
[01:05:35] Speaker A: That's no bad thing.
[01:05:40] Speaker B: So you go to Aus's apartment.
It is locked, so somebody's going to need to pick that lock.
[01:05:49] Speaker A: Please come. Yeah,
[01:05:53] Speaker C: I was going to say who. Who all came to this?
[01:05:56] Speaker A: I'll go.
[01:05:57] Speaker F: I'll go.
[01:05:58] Speaker A: Go? Yeah, I'll go. I have ulterior motives, but I'll go.
[01:06:01] Speaker F: I'll stay home to make everyone a nice celebratory lunch.
[01:06:05] Speaker E: I'm always good for an infiltration.
[01:06:08] Speaker G: Yeah, you can be Pocket rat.
[01:06:11] Speaker F: Finally,
[01:06:16] Speaker G: I had to use a hero point, but I got a 32.
[01:06:19] Speaker B: A 32 would be enough to unlock it. It's a lavishly appointed apartment.
Like it's. It's rather small for somebody of Akus's power, but it's very lavishly appointed. And despite being dusty, it is rather well kept.
[01:06:47] Speaker A: I'd like to swing a bit little pendulum around and make sure we're not setting off like a magical alarm or anything.
[01:06:56] Speaker B: Yeah, you don't sense any kind of like, magical alarm or anything? There is some like, spells around that you're guessing, like keep things clean in the long run, but no like alarms or anything.
[01:07:13] Speaker G: It looks like it's in fine state, like no one has gone through it.
[01:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah, doesn't look like anybody's gone through it.
[01:07:21] Speaker C: Well, fan out and yeah, just gonna start looking for things. I personally am gonna look for anything interesting because I'm gonna leave all of that list reading to the people who can.
I'm looking for interesting things.
[01:07:41] Speaker G: Yeah, I will look for the list.
[01:07:43] Speaker B: The list.
Alouette, what you're looking for?
[01:07:48] Speaker A: I'm going to look for like items, I think like anything unbroken related that is like a physical item.
[01:08:04] Speaker B: Alistair, what are you looking for in the apartment?
[01:08:09] Speaker E: Yeah, I think I will look for the list as well.
[01:08:15] Speaker B: If people want to give me perception checks.
[01:08:19] Speaker C: I got a 32 and I did use a hero point.
[01:08:27] Speaker G: 30 for me.
[01:08:29] Speaker E: You know, considering the time of the night, I'll go ahead and use a hero point
[01:08:37] Speaker A: 32 for me.
[01:08:41] Speaker E: 24 from a 26.
[01:08:46] Speaker G: Oh, no.
[01:08:49] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you.
For those of you looking for the list, you're pretty sure you found it bad news. It's in code, so it's going to take a little while to decode.
But you're relatively sure that this is a list of names.
So because it's written like a list of names would be and items for the unbroken, you find a number of unbroken pendants.
It's checking these with your.
Several of them have not been enchanted yet.
[01:09:24] Speaker A: Okay. Sorry. That's great news.
[01:09:26] Speaker C: That's a great use there. No, just. I'll grab.
If we can separate the ones that have been enchanted and the ones that haven't been and then we can take the ones that haven't been.
[01:09:37] Speaker B: Yeah, you can find three that have not been enchanted yet.
[01:09:42] Speaker C: That's good. That's good.
[01:09:44] Speaker A: That's so useful.
[01:09:48] Speaker C: Oh my God. If. Well, we don't. Well above table we don't know that Lou has the family with the unbroken because only a select people were told but like
[01:10:04] Speaker A: I think it would be like be clear that she's a little like overly excited to find unenchanted and broken symbols.
[01:10:16] Speaker B: Yeah,
[01:10:20] Speaker C: it's a good.
[01:10:20] Speaker B: So looking for unbroken things. The list and was there something somebody else was looking for or was it
[01:10:28] Speaker C: just last two things I. I said anything interesting?
[01:10:33] Speaker B: Anything interesting?
[01:10:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:10:35] Speaker B: Certainly have a lot of books here.
Not that.
And I realized who I was giving this information to.
So there's a lot of books and there certainly seems to be a couple of times where you come across diagrams that have been drawn out appear to sort of analyze the effect of the parasite on the body.
Akos was certainly Studying it and what it does along with you find.
You think it's. It's a dead one, but there's a parasite in a jar.
[01:11:22] Speaker A: Oh. Ah.
[01:11:25] Speaker C: Somebody come here.
Somebody come here.
[01:11:31] Speaker A: What? What are you looking at?
[01:11:34] Speaker C: 1, I think these are diagrams that study the mini schisms.
Two, I think that's one of them. And I point to the jar.
[01:11:49] Speaker A: It's so much smaller than I thought
[01:11:51] Speaker B: and it's like an amorphous black goo.
[01:11:55] Speaker A: I'm gonna shake the jar.
[01:11:57] Speaker B: Just kind of does like you would see slime in a jar. Just kind of does. Doesn't react or anything.
It's probably been starved to death.
[01:12:10] Speaker C: It's like dead, right?
[01:12:13] Speaker A: I.
I am not an expert. This is a Niall question, but I mean, I'm shaking it real hard.
[01:12:21] Speaker C: Do you think?
[01:12:22] Speaker F: Do you think.
[01:12:23] Speaker C: I mean, I want to take the diagrams for sure and I'm not sure if this collection of books as anything, but I don't know, maybe. Should we take this guy?
[01:12:37] Speaker E: Are you just wanting to like, threaten Schism?
No, no, but you're next.
[01:12:48] Speaker C: And not even Schism really understands.
[01:12:51] Speaker B: Get the jar.
[01:12:54] Speaker A: It could be useful for Schism or Nile. I mean, the. The diagrams alone be very useful for Nile and Schism's relationship in terms of not eating one another in a.
In a health way and not a. Anyway, what are the books?
[01:13:13] Speaker B: The books you see, A mix of fiction, non fiction.
Certainly seemed like Akos had very eclectic taste.
[01:13:23] Speaker A: Any of them seem worth taking with us or hiding anything in them worth taking with us?
[01:13:35] Speaker B: Give me a perception check.
[01:13:38] Speaker E: Yes, I'm in on this too.
[01:13:45] Speaker A: Damn. I'm gonna use your point because I've used none of them.
Much better. Let's go.
That is like a 35.
[01:14:01] Speaker B: 35.
[01:14:03] Speaker E: Alistair rolled a natural one for 20.
[01:14:07] Speaker B: Yeah, you get really distracted by the. This book called the King in Yellow.
[01:14:12] Speaker C: King in Yellow. Canonical.
[01:14:15] Speaker E: What's the King in Yellow?
[01:14:19] Speaker B: It is. It is an actual book that I think was posted.
It is where Hastur and Carcosa comes from.
IRL
[01:14:31] Speaker E: by Robert W. Changer Chambers. Yeah, Chambers.
[01:14:37] Speaker A: So pretty good podcast.
[01:14:43] Speaker B: But yeah, you get distracted by that book.
And aloha, as you are looking through, there are. There are a lot of just fiction books dating back to like first prints, like first printings of books.
Like, you know, these are.
Some of them are very rare and very expensive and there are a good number of journals.
The oldest journal you find is.
It's not in good condition, but it's.
If the date is correct on it, it's 150 years old.
[01:15:24] Speaker A: Whose. Whose journal is it?
[01:15:27] Speaker B: It's all the same handwriting. It's all Akkos.
[01:15:33] Speaker A: Interesting.
[01:15:35] Speaker C: We take that. We take that.
[01:15:37] Speaker A: We love collecting journals in this group.
I'm gonna also grab some of the rare printings because we could pawn those for evolution money.
Yeah, especially since we gave away most of the Johnny money.
[01:15:57] Speaker C: Are there any book. Any of the first edition books that are like, I don't know, popular romances? Because I'm like, I'm totally going to give one to my girlfriend.
[01:16:10] Speaker E: Bodice rippers.
[01:16:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:16:13] Speaker B: No, I mean, there's probably a few of those in there, you know, and scrape wing.
[01:16:18] Speaker A: The one with the sexiest looking cover.
[01:16:22] Speaker B: Sheesh.
[01:16:24] Speaker C: What do they make these out of? Why does it feel like this?
[01:16:30] Speaker A: Who can say?
[01:16:33] Speaker E: Why is there no generic book in the.
In the Pathfinder system? I need a book.
[01:16:44] Speaker B: You take a. Are you taking the king in yellow with you?
[01:16:47] Speaker E: I'm taking the king in yellow. I am very fascinated by this book.
[01:16:52] Speaker A: It's a really.
[01:16:53] Speaker B: It's a good book. I read it a few years ago.
[01:16:58] Speaker E: If it's fascinating enough to give me a natural one on a perception check. Yeah,
[01:17:06] Speaker D: this is.
[01:17:07] Speaker E: This is my new favorite book.
[01:17:10] Speaker A: I will also handle Slave, one of the sexy looking books.
[01:17:16] Speaker G: Before you do that, while everyone is involved with books, I would like to open the schism jar.
[01:17:25] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:17:28] Speaker G: Does it do anything?
[01:17:31] Speaker B: Leith, Can I have a reflex save?
[01:17:33] Speaker G: No, I'm good at that.
[01:17:35] Speaker A: It's a good thing that wasn't a fort save.
[01:17:37] Speaker F: Lathe, you motherfucker. Every day I wake up.
[01:17:42] Speaker G: Okay, so I rolled bad.
Do we have a third hero point?
[01:17:48] Speaker C: Yes, we do. It's fucking 11.
[01:17:53] Speaker F: Come on, we can't all be infested with bone parasites that we. You already have. I'm kidding.
[01:17:58] Speaker E: I have not my bone parasite yet.
[01:18:02] Speaker F: Yeah, do you even know about it yet?
[01:18:04] Speaker E: No,
[01:18:07] Speaker F: you haven't gotten a chance to yet is what I'm hearing.
[01:18:12] Speaker G: Hero point is slightly better for a 33.
[01:18:15] Speaker B: 33.
[01:18:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:18:18] Speaker B: You do manage to. As this thing jumps out of the jar at you and it's now out and about. I'm going to need everyone else to give me reflex save as it's going for the first.
[01:18:32] Speaker C: I don't think I have any more hero points now. I'm just letting you know that I'm here. That's the issue. Okay, well, actually, am I. Am I. Do I have a warm body? Do I count in this case?
I mean, like, mechanically? It doesn't say anything.
I've just been kind of playing that off.
[01:18:55] Speaker B: It's essentially it doesn't need to be warm it was just colloquial like warm body you are not a corpse 31
[01:19:06] Speaker E: for Alistair
[01:19:09] Speaker A: so I used my third hero point on this regretting using two of them earlier but it's fine except it's probably not I got a 25
[01:19:20] Speaker C: don't worry I'm worse join us because I got a nat one and I don't have any more hero points oh
[01:19:29] Speaker A: no
[01:19:32] Speaker C: what's the total it is it is it is 21 because I have my reflect leave is 20
[01:19:41] Speaker B: yeah no you you cannot get out of the way Grave Wing as as this thing like attaches itself to it's going to go for the only like bare skin that it can get to which is
[01:20:02] Speaker C: your face that's my face.
That's my face I I leave my my mouth is open tech like my bottom half is is the is not covered it's my face
[01:20:15] Speaker B: Give me a fortitude safe
[01:20:19] Speaker A: oh my God give me
[01:20:21] Speaker G: a vert I can't tell if this
[01:20:22] Speaker C: is sweat on my forehead or if it's oil I don't have I don't have any more mirror points I use them all for rules I'm okay so remember I told you guys sometimes my dice want to kill me no away now this is now is this is when one of the I mean I had I had to guidance you suffer for my hubris okay can I can
[01:20:52] Speaker A: I just can I can I real quick draw the morning's card to see if I can get Aubrey you can I don't know I don't know what it might be helping I don't know man.
[01:21:09] Speaker C: Yeah just yeah I'm not gonna say anything yet I guess.
No the only thing I will say is that Sparlock is saying fail fail fail Sparlock is sharing from a downfall
[01:21:25] Speaker E: I want the drama anyone would open
[01:21:27] Speaker B: the jar
[01:21:31] Speaker A: I guess before I make you draw a card here is is it possible for one of them is on you which doesn't help in this case it's a forte but is it possible to apply it to somebody else
[01:21:44] Speaker B: like the if we drew a good
[01:21:46] Speaker A: card okay okay then yes please draw my card on the off chance it's helpful here
[01:21:57] Speaker B: you draw you this morning you drew the theater the neutral good
[01:22:04] Speaker A: card of crowns can I give this neutral card to grave Wing Yes Grave
[01:22:12] Speaker B: Wing you have advantage it represents prophecy with a true prophet acting as part of the puppet of the gods
[01:22:21] Speaker A: fascinating
[01:22:21] Speaker C: choice in this moment so what what what what what does it do I'm Shaking.
[01:22:30] Speaker A: You can roll twice and take the better and whichever one's better.
[01:22:34] Speaker B: It's a. Is Good. Good. The plus 10.
[01:22:37] Speaker A: Yes. Good is plus 10. Evil is.
[01:22:39] Speaker B: You have disadvantage and this is good. So it is a plus.
[01:22:42] Speaker A: Neutral. You said neutral.
[01:22:45] Speaker B: Neutral good.
Yeah.
[01:22:47] Speaker C: Oh,
[01:22:50] Speaker A: because I have good, neutral and evil as my like three options.
[01:22:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it's this, this one still uses the old alignment. So it is good. It is a good card.
[01:22:59] Speaker A: Okay, never mind. Add 10 to your roll.
[01:23:04] Speaker C: So I just add 10.
Sorry.
Oh, okay. Okay. Well then that makes, that makes this a lot better. Adding 10 is a lot.
So it.
So it's 34 now. It was just 24 before.
Cuz I'm adding 10. Right. I am adding 10. Okay, so it's. It's 34. Now it's 34.
[01:23:27] Speaker B: Now it's 34 dot 34 will mean it does not attach to you.
And if you want, you can give me a, a melee attack to try and get it off of you.
Essentially an escape. Check.
[01:23:41] Speaker C: Cool. Cool. You guys
[01:23:46] Speaker A: feel like Lou's reading this morning was like, hey, something really bad's gonna happen. Be ready. And she's like, okay. She just throws the card in the same moment.
What you get. What you get. What you get, what you get.
[01:24:02] Speaker C: They want this to happen.
That's not one. So
[01:24:10] Speaker A: your dice have never done this to you?
[01:24:13] Speaker C: When they want to kill me, when they want me to die, when they want me to. To seriously be maimed and hurt. Okay. I remember that fireball.
[01:24:22] Speaker B: Other people have been watching Alien. So it's.
[01:24:26] Speaker E: It's attempting. It's. It's basically trying to like grapple, right?
[01:24:33] Speaker C: I think so, yeah.
It's trying to go in my mouth. It's. It's, it's like it's trying to. It's. I think what I think like visually what's happening maybe is that I'm pushing it back with my hands, but I can't push. Like I can't pull it off. It's got a hold around my head. But like it's like, it's like, like
[01:24:54] Speaker B: in the new Superman film when it's like the nano machines. It's like doing that and I get
[01:24:58] Speaker E: a round of actions.
Like do we have an action?
Like one. One single action? What about two actions?
Can I do a two action activity?
[01:25:14] Speaker B: Depends on the activity spells, I assume.
[01:25:19] Speaker E: Yeah, I want to cast telekinetic maneuver on it.
[01:25:26] Speaker B: Okay, yeah, you can do that. It's more of just like you could do one thing. The number of actions doesn't really like matter. Too much. It's like, one thing you can do.
[01:25:40] Speaker E: So that's a plus 21.
There we go. So that is a 30 to shove it, which. So if it forced movement.
[01:26:04] Speaker B: All right, where would you like to shove it?
[01:26:08] Speaker E: Just away.
Oh, is there any, like.
Is there any, like. Put it back in the jar?
[01:26:15] Speaker C: I was gonna say put it back in the jar.
[01:26:18] Speaker E: Still, do I have the control to put it back in the jar?
[01:26:23] Speaker D: Sure it is.
[01:26:26] Speaker E: Okay. I will attempt to shove it back in the jar.
[01:26:31] Speaker B: And if somebody wants to give me a reflex save to cap that jar real quick before I just escapes again.
[01:26:37] Speaker C: Yeah, I will.
[01:26:38] Speaker G: I'm holding the jar.
Okay. That's a 15 on the dice or a 35.
[01:26:47] Speaker B: 35. Yeah. You were able to slam that lid back on the jar.
The goo is now back in the jar, and now it's active and angry and, like, going all over the place,
[01:27:01] Speaker C: trying to escape, I think with that many fails. Did it take my mask or anything with it? It was attached to my head.
[01:27:10] Speaker B: Your mask might have fallen off. It didn't take it with it, but it might have fallen off.
[01:27:14] Speaker A: Cool.
[01:27:15] Speaker C: It's off. I'm on the floor catching my breath, and then I point to lathe and go, why did you fucking open?
[01:27:29] Speaker G: I wanted to see if it was
[01:27:30] Speaker A: really dead when it's not.
Are you okay? Gr.
[01:27:43] Speaker C: No, it didn't get in me. Did it get in me? Is this. Do I look okay?
[01:27:52] Speaker E: You look fine. That was grody, though. Don't tell Niall I said that.
[01:28:03] Speaker A: I. I can look at your eyes if you want.
[01:28:07] Speaker C: It's.
Well, I mean. Mask is off now, so. You see, the one side of my face is burnt shut with.
What's his name again? With the high priest's little sigil pretty prominently on there. And the other one is. Is a working eye in the working face and. Yeah, no, she's gonna nod like, yes, please
[01:28:37] Speaker A: can I do whatever I did with clover to see if it's.
[01:28:41] Speaker B: Medicine check.
[01:28:43] Speaker A: Medicine check. Was that the.
Oh, gosh, I forgot where to put my.
Okay, I. This.
We're. We're swapping out of. Dice. Cousin Dice, come here.
That was so cool.
Also a great roll. So let's go, Cousin Dice. Not only is it balancing on the edge of my dice tray perfectly, it is also a natural 18 for a total of.
It's too late to do math in my brain. 32.
[01:29:19] Speaker B: 32.
[01:29:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:29:22] Speaker B: You don't see any signs? There is no black veins in the sclera.
Craving is fine.
[01:29:29] Speaker A: I think you're all right.
[01:29:34] Speaker C: Good.
I.
I don't want that thing in me.
[01:29:43] Speaker A: The Satiska.
[01:29:47] Speaker C: My brother said that he could bend its element.
I don't even want to know what that feels like.
[01:29:59] Speaker A: The jar stays closed. Now here.
[01:30:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:30:04] Speaker G: If this one has survived this long in a jar, why does Schism have to eat Nile?
[01:30:12] Speaker A: We don't. Maybe it hasn't been here that long.
[01:30:16] Speaker C: Some diagrams.
[01:30:18] Speaker B: Schism meets Nile. Because schism isn't connected to the hive mind. So it doesn't feed off the energy of the hive mind.
[01:30:27] Speaker A: Maybe it is still connected to the hive knife.
[01:30:30] Speaker F: It's getting the five GS of energy pounded down directly from the tyrant into its body. Still, it's fine. Schism does not have that remote sugar daddy energy. Schism gotta eat like the rest of us.
[01:30:43] Speaker B: I just offered the free out of character because I'm like. I'm pretty sure we covered that before.
[01:30:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:30:47] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:30:49] Speaker G: What do we think he was doing with it?
[01:30:53] Speaker C: Studying it.
These diagrams. If you.
I just point to the table with the diagrams on them.
Jar stays closed.
I go get my mask.
[01:31:12] Speaker A: I've got to check that blade is also unhurt because she was very close to it, but seem to dodge it. But like, is it okay if I do worry varicose? Should I also check your eyes?
[01:31:29] Speaker G: I don't think it touched me, but you're welcome to check.
[01:31:35] Speaker A: How do so purely. Purely for medical reasons and not an excuse to gaze into your eyeballs.
Not quite as good, but still pretty great.
That's going to be a 29.
[01:31:57] Speaker B: 29. But you don't see any signs of indoctrination.
[01:32:02] Speaker A: You're clear.
Even if that was not very wise decision.
Cuz because of just us. Now I know if it was dead or not.
[01:32:15] Speaker B: You know.
[01:32:19] Speaker G: Can they tell?
[01:32:22] Speaker A: Well, I would think Schism would be able to tell if they're alive or dead.
Is it sure
[01:32:31] Speaker G: a concern to bring it with us?
[01:32:37] Speaker A: Well now it is. Yeah.
[01:32:39] Speaker G: I mean more in terms of not it escaping, but it reporting back.
[01:32:49] Speaker A: If we put it in the bag of holding, it can do nothing.
That's not how Lou would phrase that. But it's too late. I've committed to it.
[01:32:58] Speaker C: I'm tired.
[01:33:00] Speaker A: Because it is in a pocket mention and we have bag of holding. So we could just put it in there. And I cannot report anything to anyone.
But that's only if we still want to bring it with us. And I'm not sure that we do.
What was scary?
[01:33:19] Speaker C: I.
Man. Yeah. No, that was very scary scary.
I.
I don't know. I'm I'm not carrying it though.
We can put it in the bag, seal it, double seal it. I don't know that we. We could do that. Put it in the bag. We have nerds. They can read into it.
It's better to understand these things than not.
[01:33:52] Speaker A: If we keep it in the bag and study diagrams first and then only bring it out under supervision.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can make it work.
[01:34:04] Speaker E: We tuck it in like bag of holding.
[01:34:07] Speaker C: We have like a. Like a. Like a smuggler's thingy or whatever that kind of is one.
[01:34:13] Speaker E: Did it survive in a bag of holding because it's extra dimensional space?
Yeah, but would it separate it from the hive mind?
[01:34:23] Speaker A: What a great test. Let's find out.
[01:34:28] Speaker B: Have you gained sentience yet?
[01:34:33] Speaker E: Actually, yeah, let's test.
[01:34:35] Speaker A: Can you imagine though, if that does work, if we're just like, put goo in the. The bag. We're like, huh, you've been thwarted by a basic shopping bag. Suck it, tyrant.
[01:34:46] Speaker E: No, let's test it.
I am all for this experiment.
[01:34:51] Speaker A: All right, all right then the hypothesis. So we're doing science properly. I've been around juniper enough to do that.
Yeah,
[01:35:04] Speaker B: You do that and you check back in a bit, see how it's doing.
[01:35:12] Speaker A: No more scares.
Oh, damn it. I wanted to do one more thing.
[01:35:21] Speaker C: Do it. We got.
We got time now. If you hold on for four more seconds, we'll get one more fucking year up.
[01:35:30] Speaker A: I just wanted to cruise past the house of the Valere house and see if I can see anything amiss from the outside. I'm not going in. I'm being stealthy about it and hiding about it and also in disguise about it. So like I just want to eyeball it and see if I see anyone.
[01:36:01] Speaker B: Roll me a perception check,
[01:36:06] Speaker A: cousin Dice. Now's your time.
That's not what I asked for.
So that's net one. It's my turn.
For a total of 19.
[01:36:19] Speaker B: Yeah, you're a little distracted because there's still the Veritas guards.
[01:36:27] Speaker A: The.
The. Wait, wait, the who guards?
[01:36:31] Speaker B: Vertas. The senators.
[01:36:34] Speaker F: Oh.
[01:36:35] Speaker A: Oh, interesting.
[01:36:37] Speaker B: Just like it was before.
[01:36:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah, that is distracting.
And I think she's also distracted. Affected by what you would really like
[01:36:56] Speaker B: to see
[01:36:59] Speaker A: and probably never will. So.
[01:37:02] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you all head back across the bridge to reunite with everyone and share what you've learned and we'll figure out what happens next time.
[01:37:17] Speaker F: We're going to talk about the shopping bag this time. Anyways, thank you everyone for listening to a wonderful episode of Goblin Gays. If you like what we do here. Feel free to follow us on Twitter. Not on Twitter, I keep freaking Twitter is dead now. Protect nature and wildlife kids. Otherwise you never know when it'll be gone.
