Generative Summary
Leaving the Spellspire with 100 gold, copied maps, and a sending arrangement—paying Keith 5 gold to relay any findings about the corpses—the party also received an open invitation to join The Violet Sages of Spellspire. On the way back to the Leaky Dinghy, they came upon Bruna, a tearful Firbolg shopkeeper sitting on the stoop of her robbed general store. Meng consoled her with a smushed cake while Kunaq quietly left 15 gold for the losses. Meng found a Burglar’s Jacket from The Solstice Boutique left behind at the scene—a clue filed away for later. Meanwhile, Octavious examined his late mentor Zolbarr Fiddlesworth’s pocketwatch and grew increasingly certain it was more than a timepiece; it contained far more mechanisms than any functioning watch would require.
Back at the Leaky Dinghy, Quri Uki’s Priests in Estazia reported the corpses had emerged from the White Oak Square Cemetery, and Octavious gathered mixed impressions of Victor Cole: respected by some, despised by others as a colonizer, and wealthy enough to lodge at The Seaside Chateau. The following day the party investigated the cemetery. The disturbed graves were ancient—no evidence of digging, summoning markings, or necromantic residue. Kunaq’s detect magic revealed only a faint, inexplicable magical presence, suggesting a creature rather than a caster had been involved. A knock on a neighboring door introduced James Ramdath, a grumpy but lonely old Firbolg who had been ill for three months and unknowingly lived beside the epicenter of the outbreak. Kunaq prepared a remedy for his ailments, and in gratitude James allowed the party to take items from his cluttered basement—including an ornate rapier bearing a family crest, a decorative golden shield, and golden gauntlets. Nakuji Nabunae left his short sword at James’s doorstep, hoping to inspire the old man to live more boldly.
Finally, the group staged a beach spectacle to create a distraction: Nakuji forged an ornate blade as the Ageless Smith, M’Baku issued a gladiator’s challenge and bested one of Victor Cole’s own soldiers, and Kunaq’s priests stood ready as EMS while Meng scaled the Seaside Chateau. Inside Victor Cole’s room she found a letter to Fort Bastion requesting quarantine aid with specific directions—leaving only a slip of paper in a chest she could not unlock. James Ramdath and Bruna watched from the front row, and as the festivities wound down, James stepped forward to address the crowd: “We don’t have to give up on this city.”

Notes
When in Spellspire
-
Seeking a Map of Estazia. Copied down some maps. No markings for Jungle Village attacked by corpses.
-
5 gold per sending message from Keith. They’re going to share what they find out about the corpses.
-
Keith invited us to join The Violet Sages of Spellspire.
-
Walking back to Leaky Dinghy.
-
Along the way we meet a Firbolgs of Wilder, named Bruna
- Crying.
- Meng offers her a smushed cake and asks what’s wrong.
- Bruna wondered if Estazia is turning into wild animals because there were Burglars who Broke into Bruna’s General Store, Bruna’s General Store.
- Kunaq leaves 15gp
- Meng finds a Burglar’s Jacket. The jacket is from The Solstice Boutique.
- Octavious is reminded of Zolbarr Fiddlesworth from Bruna’s mention of things being “unnatural”. He pulls out Zolbarr Fiddlesworth’s Pocketwatch and strokes it. Is it merely a watch?
- There are extra numerals, more mechanisms that are needed to make a functioning watch.
-
Make it back to the Leaky Dinghy.
- Kunaq asks Quri Uki’s Priests in Estazia if they had found Naomi.
- They have not.
- But they have heard that the Corpses in Estazia came out of a local cemetery, the White Oak Square Cemetery
- They came out of one particular area of the cemetery.
- Octavious is seeking more info about Victor Cole.
- He has a reputation.
- Some think he’s alright.
- Others are very skeptical because he’s from The Terran Empire. “Colonizer Scum”
- “He would never be caught staying at a place like this”. He would stay The Seaside Chateau if he were here.
- Octavious seeks help from Kunaq to figure out Zolbarr Fiddlesworth’s Pocketwatch.
- Kunaq casts detect magic around the graveyard. Does not detect any necromantic magic. Get’s a very faint magical presence around the area where the bodies came out. Not from a casting, but from a magical creature that might have been there.
- Long rest at Leaky Dinghy.
Next day
-
Going to White Oak Square Cemetery.
- Quri Uki’s Priests in Estazia come with us.
-
Arrive at cemetery. Barricaded with police tape.
-
Go inside.
-
Groups of families buried together.
-
White Oak spreads over the center.
-
Some graves are old enough not to have any caskets. No markings of anyone having been digging. The Corpses in Estazia came straight out of the ground.
-
Not the founders’ headstones themselves, but a couple generations after.
-
Kunaq is curious if it’s possible they were reanimated corpses especially if they were buried in the ground. Embalming could have preserved the bodies.
-
M’Baku traces some names of the old gravestones, reminding him of not long ago, how he would carve into his Estazia Arena Barracks cell wall.
-
Go across the graveyard and knock on a door. James Ramdath, and a very old Firbolgs of Wilder, answers the door.
- Didn’t know there had been corpses,
- Doesn’t get visitors.
- Plumbing backs up now and then, he says
- Neighbors don’t like him
- He was old money, and has lived off of that his entire life.
- Is sick, has been sick for 3 months. Worse was one month ago.
- Meng and Octavious search the basement.
- Kunaq prepares some healing stuff for James Ramdath.
- James Ramdath gave us many expensive items from his basement.
- Nakuji Nabunae tries to recruit James Ramdath to our Campaign Party, but he declines.
-
We go to the The Seaside Chateau. At the front desk is Julian.
-
Meng says she has a cake for Victor Cole and if they could check if he is here.
-
Victor Cole’s room is 432. Balcony overlooking the ocean.
-
M’Baku asks for a recommendation for a plumber. Julian gives us a name.
Mission Impossible

Session Recording
Sorry, gotta start.
The next morning, the group gathered two corpses in a separate head from the sewers, while Meng lifted the city’s Spirits with the Morning Song for the Fallen, the others noted Rising and rest citizens divided by between grief, denial, and anger toward the city guard. On their way to deliver the corpses to this bellspire.
They kept. They encountered a heat of crowd in the market. One speaker calling for isolationism. Another, a visiting human soldier named a Victor Cole from the distant Taryn Empire urging unity and compassion. He revealed. A similar Undead outbreak had struck remote jungle Village. Days earlier. Octavius and Umbaku guru’s Imperial motives, while mang subtly planted a tracking device on him before he departed.
Finally, the group climbed the mountain to the Violet sages, spellsfire, where a tuxedo Cat Stuart let them inside to meet Keith and Julia. Preparing to petition the reclusive luminary mantovani, they ready themselves for negotiation, offering the recovered corpses in exchange for information about the undead, the weave, and perhaps the greater mystery connecting the these interdimensional events.
That’s about. Yeah, because we had just finished. How much gold did we get? Uh, let me looks here. They’re like 100, 100 gold. Sounds great. Oh. Thunder should or so I’m told?
Session three session three.
The bottom. Oh, too far.
100 gold. Okay, yeah, I’m not. I don’t write it down. Reading right down, I know. Maybe I did is just in the wrong place.
Like, I said 737.
So, I guess we’ll divvy out 20 gold a piece. Works among five of us.
I give 20 random rocks to. So 20 gold pieces divided by five. No, no. 100. Well, that’s nice.
Well, isn’t that? That’s nice. All right. So after of day in spellspire? Um, you guys. Met with Aunt Vani. And secured. The go ahead for Julia and Keith. Just start researching the corpse. Um. They started putting on Hazmat suits. Um. And you guys were given information along with your 100 gold reward.
You were also given. Day in a certain section of a library to do your research. Um, which means if you did look into lots of different things. Um. Is there anything else that you guys would like to do before, like your research time is up? As you’re headed out of spell spiers or anything else would like to do or say before you guys exit the building.
To be secure map. I think we did. That’s a good question. Or maybe it’s going to copy one down? Take time to do that. We were gonna try and go to this town. Yeah. With or without Victor Cole, a little jungle Village. Yeah. To investigate.
Yeah, Meg would look for a map. Copy it down for that area of the world.
All right. So? Somebody had cartoon first God, that was you. That’s right, yeah, I can. Yeah. Mix map. Now! Row for map making? You guys! With, I’ll say like the maps available to you and spell Spire, like they don’t really have. A lot of detailed maps on like the villages and stuff are outside of the city.
Um, you don’t know the name of this Village. You just know that it’s north. Of a stars yet. So you’ve got maps of the area, but the exact location of the village you guys? Quite happy. You might have to acquire that. In other ways, it should have asked Mommy.
I mean, if we could stump him, we might get stuck here. Yes, that’s true. Not, as that is not a flat line I thought about. That’s been velocity.
African or European. There we go. Know?
I’m not working.
Nope, there it goes. It’s charging now! Everything works in theory. All right.
You didn’t hear me. Joke Mist.
Yeah.
So? You guys acquire some maps, you do some. Copy. Um. I’ve said Maps. Since you’re not allowed to take anything from this place, you can definitely make copies. Um. And. As you guys are leaving? Um. On the way out. Um, Keith, the. He stops you guys and let’s see how, like, if we.
Find any information about the body’s? How would you like this to it? Inform you. Like, is there a place where we can deliver a letter or send a messenger or? He’s the only one that lives here. Yeah, I guess I would have a. Place. I live. I postal address.
I’m a P.O box. Oh, cool! Keith, you do, you happen to have any sending Stones or something? I know. Um. We do also have, I think. There are some stages here in spell Spire. You can. Send magical message as across very long distances. But we’d have to meet them first.
I mean. I, I have to, I have to pay a fee for that because they don’t like us to. Make great use of that, but if it’s if it’s dire. And you guys really want to know, like I?
I would think this would be a mutual relationship. Do you have any really smart pigeons?
Here we go. And then we’ve got one Medigamine pigeon.
Now, we don’t really. Have any messenger Birds?
How much does it cost to send a message? Like five gold?
That’s, that’s deep. They really don’t want to. Thank you so that too much. How much does Minecraft keep? I don’t know how much you just keep. And I realize it sure. But after asking if I give you five gold, then? If something comes up. Would that take care?
18 plus.
Uh, it’s 21. So, he says, like, oh, absolutely five cold, would cover the cost that would. Would be able to send a short message to you wherever you’re at. And. Your Vibes are, yeah, he’s being trustworthy. Okay, and she’ll tell them not to waste it. I’m useless information.
All right. Five gold to Keith.
By the way, right? Literally, when I like, go to add a link I type in Keith? It comes up with character Keith first, so when we’re in life group, I have to click the down arrow to actually do Keith Balls. The Minotaurs.
We determine how we saw Keith in this.
You know, like dumping? Okay.
Yeah. And he says, like, you know, if you guys ever wanted to possibly join the? The Violet sages. Yeah, we could use people like, you guys.
Just say. And. That’s out. Um. As you guys exit, it takes you okay. It gives you guys all a nice little friendly wave is only and outside. The. The sun is starting to set. Um. And. For a minute, you kind of forget that, like, this town has been through so much and just the past few days.
Um. This guy’s, like a nice. Pastel orange and pink. And you guys head down the steps. Making your way back down the mountain? And I’m guessing. With the cart, the empty cart, yes, so? And. We return the card. And you’re going back straight to the leaky dinghy. Yep, is this like a weekend?
No, this is a whole week, so we’re like.
Not for the first stars. No, okay, cool. Like, a lot of day-to-day operations and stuff. We’re kind of. Wow, so! As you guys are walking through, like some of the districts. Um, most people have gone to bed at this point through this, like residential neighborhood. Um. There’s a couple storefronts here and.
Um. As you guys are. Traveling down the street? You notice that outside of one of these shops, like one of the few shops in this District, there is a fur bulk woman, just like. Very tall linky, but like. Sitting on the stoop outside of her shop. Um, just like crawled over.
Crying.
You should. It should say if you’ve got like rations for the day. I’m thinking like a vegetable cake or something.
Here. Let’s Roll Cosmics.
Picked up a treat. Yeah. It’s a little smooshed. But he got one. She’ll try to like fuck up.
All right, you fluff up a smushed cake. It’s a little dry. So, it kind of crumbles a little bit to, but? All right. She was, take it over and like. See if she notices.
Oh. I’m sorry. Do you need anything from the store or? What kind of story is? That’s just kind of like a general good story. Okay, I would have laughed. It was if it was a bakery.
You look sad. Do you want to pass cake? Thank you.
And as she’s like eating. She’s like, kind of shoveling, and then. Um, she does not care that it is dry or crumbly or a little bit smushed. Slash brief fluffed? She’s just talking, like, kind of to herself, more than to you guys. You’re just saying, like, you know, this is all just everything’s just been so unnatural.
This Festival. It’s been awful. And.
Just with everything that’s happened.
The corpse is attacking. Obviously a tragedy, but? We can expect. Is zombie stacked like zombies? I think. More concerned that? The city of the people here. It’s like, we’re turning the wild animals.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t. Makes them like, sit down next to her.
Yeah.
With all of the. Riots and?
My story was closed down. I came to check on it. This evening.
It’s been. It’s been robbed. What’s missing?
The door’s been broken in. Stuff has been registered around through, I mean, just. Everyday stuff. I haven’t taken stock of everything that’s missing yet, but you know?
Definitely the food! Everyday, surprise, and. I did keep. Some alcohol and stock, and all of that’s gone. It’s just. Big loss. I’m sorry, could I totally take a look at the door?
Just inside. I probably walk over with. How long to Thief I could help fix this door? What are you looking for? Oh, he’s not looking for me. He’s gonna go in and see if he can find the. Um. Like countertop like sales countertop or whatever. He’s just going to like.
Take out his gold purse and put 15 gold, just like. Somewhere. Kind of round. Over there. Okay, he’s gonna lean over here and be like. Do. It’s 15 to Too little I, I don’t. My eyes would be like. I mean that that’ll cover the alcohol at least, right? I should.
Has he not found a little like cheat sheet? Okay. Octavia starts like doing math up in the air, like per bottle. That should be for a few cases.
He’s gonna make it so. It’s not like shining out into the street, but like. You know, pay right that she’ll see when she walks by him basically, but not until then. And I inspect the door. Yeah, the door. It’s the door itself is pretty sturdy in the door isn’t what’s damaged here.
It’s actually like the door frame, but it’s kind of splintered as whoever is like busted into. General Store. Here, I’m gonna pull out my. Hammer and tools. And look at the lady like? Do you mind? If I? Take a look. Be so kind of you. You don’t have to do something like that.
And I will. I can help hold things in place and stuff, but
I will repair the door frame. With mending. And with mending, it’s not difficult at all. It’s. Fixed back in place. Any other door can lock once more? I’m like pulling on a tools out of my show. Everyone for a while. Just like, hold this. Nails in my teeth, I’m I’m gonna ask her.
Do you know who did this? Oh, I don’t know why I wasn’t here. I had. Door locked up in the windows barred. I was home. Do you have any enemies? Anyone who might? Wish harm. I mean. The neighbor, and I don’t always get along and see. I’d eye, but I don’t think that he would have done anything like this.
Are you sure about that?
Rolls dice. Yeah. Next one. Yeah. Pretty sure. Um, what’s your name?
My name. Is Bruno? Bruno.
I don’t think any of the. Zombie zombies. They’re, they didn’t come from the crowd, right? Yeah. Oh, you never saw anybody like raped back to life or anything like that. They just kind of stumbled out. Oh, can I go in an inspect and see if there’s like any traces of whom I might have done it?
Um, yeah, bro and investigation check.
Listen. Uh, that’s a 22 22. I mean.
Hmm. What did you roll fall? To see if she can figure out looking for Clues.
So? They were really bad. So, I keep themselves hidden. So, like? They are still in there.
They’re underneath no, um? Yeah. But. Like in the process of them, like caring stuff. It seems like they were hauling off crates, and at one point, one of the people took off their jacket or something, and they’ve left their jacket inside. How bad did you roll? It’s a Dickey’s brand, navy blue jacket.
Acme moving company. Um. Let’s see Cosmics. This is gonna determine what they have in the jacket. Driver’s license, big bird. I mean character, she. Hand it over. The jacket. Um. Has like a store name. Like embroidered on the inside of the coat, what is it? Maybe, why are you making the ass?
Move or a girl? That clearly we’ve do real. Took us all over one conversation. Be not so we can do it. Their lesson. The perfectly sealed. Yeah. Could I investigate to see if this store was targeted specifically for something? Um. Or it was just a random breaking. That situation.
Like, away from our main. I’m not taking too many notes. That’s why I wanted to see like this is the main storyline, right? It’s the wet Bandits. I feel like it’s a clue like he wouldn’t have put Bruno Us. I think Bruno is the thing we’re supposed to be looking at, but.
That’s why I’m trying to see if this store was like. Keep in mind what we do. Dylan will have notes on everyone we interact with, and he can turn it into something later. So you’re just giving him treats a mastermind this entire time? Yes. So you can fix it.
We’re gonna call it. Come up with a name this clothing store. It is the Solstice Boutique. Sounds very fancy. Sounds cute.
I’m gonna take the jacket back up to Bruno. Do you recognize this? And that’s not mine and. And do you show her like the? Sauce is boutique, um? She’s, like, oh, I never, never stop there. Um, well. The quality isn’t great, but it’s a lot of knockoffs of some other stores.
In more of the market District area. All right, guys. We found a Monday wander, let’s go. Time to knock off some knockoffs? Do you know why somebody would Target your store? Would you have anything in there that’s particularly unique? Not really. I think if they broke into my store, it’s just census.
Like I said, like? Everybody’s turn into wild animals. Like, we don’t know how to behave. It’s just. So, it was Druids who did this? I don’t know what that is. You will. That’s right. One day, and when you’re older, I have. Guard still been absent today. Just discovered this.
Like, I haven’t even contacted the gods. So, but I’m assuming if they weren’t, I haven’t seen them out about in my neighborhood, so I don’t think they were here. This is about it, you know? 10 minute walk from my place, and she, like, points up like one of these really windy streets that’s going up, like one of these big hills and.
And just live up on the corner. If you look at the windows right up there. Main takes note.
Is still standing outside with the cart. It doesn’t like he’s used to being confined. Not allowed into places, so he’s just. Standing where he knows it’s? Okay to be?
I’m safe as long as I am clutching. So, yeah, she. But if you want, so I’ll let you know where the salsa’s boutique is. It’s kind of in this neighborhood, but along one of the like more well-traveled streets, kind of like this one. Um. Which you can maybe ask and figure out.
Yeah.
All right. Any other conversations with Brenna, the furbo? Do you want to come get a drink with us?
I forgot. Family back at home. Then, I need to probably. Make aware of what’s? Okay, well, you should definitely make sure the door works bye. I appreciate the cake.
She does. She locks it up, you know. She gives you guys before it comes up as y’all. Hit on your way. Um. As you guys are walking down the street? Um, Octavius.
You as a local like, you know what a spazi is meant to be like, so there’s a part as you that kind of like? Yeah, you can feel for this moment, whether you relate to or not, is up to you. But like, you can feel for like this, like saying, the city, kind of, like, upended.
Um. There’s one phrase the one word. That she mentioned. It reminds you of your Mentor. That word unnatural? Is one that? He often. Um. As an Alchemist question, what is? What’s the border between? The natural world. And at the non-natural. What does it mean for something to be natural?
Think of that pocket watch. To carry on.
I’d probably reach into my pocket. Rub it on my fingers.
Okay.
Maybe pull it out? Open it up. In the same. I mean. Yeah. Not thoroughly do you want to inspect it?
Uh, I guess. Being a curious being, I would probably. Stare at it somewhere. Look at.
Being repelled by. It’s working for so long. Probably. Try. Think of it differently. Think. How maybe this watch isn’t just a watch? You look at it and there’s. Um.
There’s numbers on here. For, like the times a day like one through 12. But then, you look. And there’s, you know, like, some watches have, like, multiple? Circles like that will also tell you like, what day it is, or like, what month it is and like stuff like that?
Um. It has those features. But then, you notice on the very far outside of this. Watch that the circle for the whole thing. There’s a circle of. More than just? Those 12 members on a normal clock. I would probably expect that a little closer roll an investigation check.
17, 17.
Okay. The more that you inspect this, the more that you’re starting to piece together. This watch has. Like, you know enough about mechanics? To know how a watch works. Like, you’ve taken watches apart and put them back together again. And you’re starting to notice that this watch. Has more mechanisms in it.
Then just mechanisms needed to make a functioning watch.
Is there any markings or? Carvings or runes or anything around it? Other than like those? That second series of what numbers and symbols and stuff? On the bar outside Circle. Um. That’s all you can really. Piece together right now. Um.
This watch is. More than just to watch. And it’s going to take more tinkering to try and figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. So? Look at. It might be. What are you trying to tell me, Mr fiddlesworth?
A snitch. You can hear him in your head.
It opens at the close.
Right? But for now, that’s all. You’re able to really piece together, but you’ve got hints of a mystery here. And. Once we arrive at the leak dinghy. You return the cart he gives you guys back. Your coins that you guys gave as kind of like an exchange. Um. Yeah, the exchange.
All the exchange. Oh yeah. And. Yeah, anything else you’d like to do before y’all? Turn in for the night. You know, not that time. Check that game with the other. Priests and see how they’ve been doing today. Anything I believe? Seen or herder on County?
Hmm, let’s roll for him. Let’s see how they did today.
Not really having any luck. Especially when? With so many people in the city and so many of them actually being fur bulbs, you know, end up stopping. Checking with a lot of people that aren’t. Her, um? We did. Stop by! Um.
The we did hear through the rumor Mill. Where these corpses came from. I came from a local graveyard. We went to investigate.
It looked like these things like crawled out of the ground, like they weren’t dug up by somebody which we find interesting.
Why don’t they keep the dead? Beats me. I know this Laura now.
Good work. I didn’t find anything out either. I went and asked. Around with the violent stages, and they didn’t seem to know. Why this could happen?
Is there an sorry a name for this graveyard overages? What’s the name? That’s great.
That too. Grave mcgravey. The gravy, all right. Gravy area just?
Rebecca, the Lincoln cauldron, no sorry. Lakeyard. What’s that?
Hmm.
I’ll probably go talk to people. And the. Tavern. Part of it. Ask around about Victor Cole. Feel like? Kind of need. Victor Cole. To give what we want to go. Thanks. Gonna follow you.
I still gotta come up with the name for a sanitary.
Wait to check or whatever you’re using. Say I couldn’t find one, huh? No, I was coming up with the name Dylan was coming up with the name, okay for, um? So? It’s the. White Oak Square. Cemetery, like it’s right off the square there.
It’s like in the town in the city. Yeah. It’s one of their older cemeteries.
Takes up a large portion. And it wasn’t the whole cemetery where? The body’s came out. It was mostly centralized, one. One spot. Like, maybe someone from the right? I’m just wondering how they were able to perform the right with that, digging the body’s out of the ground first. Yeah.
Is it? I think. Don’t most people have to see? It’s corpses that you can see within range.
I think I don’t.
I’ll go to reaction.
Tomorrow, we’ll keep looking. Naomi and send any word if we find anything as well. I think we’re also. Any causes of this just because it was? As we’re looking around. Course.
Recharge.
All right. So? Look at a long rest for the evening. We’re gonna ask about Victor Cole around. Y’all, go to bed. Yeah, like all right whereabouts or.
Go ahead. And roll a. Either a persuasion check or an investigation. Check whichever you heard. I believe I’m going to investigate. Are you also doing this too? Can you roll the vanity? Yes, if you’re helping. Yeah.
Oh, boy. Look at that. That’s funny. Yeah, what are you stabbing? So, I actually rolled a 19 and a 20. Yes. You were not gonna face? What do you got for me, Dylan? Oh goodness, I’ve anticipate needing a place names. I’m going to go ahead and look it up now.
Oh boy! Good time. Well, he’s doing that team. Yes, please. What kind he wants peppermint? Same here. Okay. Is the water on wait?
Well.
Olivia, do you want to? I’m good.
Your character hasn’t done anything.
Unmute. Ah, so you’re a kenku. King. Q aren’t mute?
If you like. Would you like the words?
I still have my hands, so I start there that I didn’t take time. I’m gonna wait a little longer. I’ve been munching too much. Yeah, it’s in front of me. It’s very much.
All right. Have you ever seen Dylan DM before?
Nothing like this series, but. You know if you go to thesis? It’s online for free. Feel like I owe him that after my birthday litter?
Extra plates somewhere. Yeah. Okay. It also hold stack camping box can’t fire the Box. Appointment.
Before we take our long arrest. I thought I didn’t know if you were like meeting real life. No, no, we speed up, Octavia says a few more things. But he would like to do his clarification, but? Other heads up. All right, no sleeping. I like to warn you ahead of my ideas.
Am I gonna need any people or place names? No, no, no? Well. This campaign brought to you by fantasy name generator.
Listen. When all else fails FNG?
He’s a truth universally acknowledged. What?
Instead of RNG. I don’t get orange. Random number generator, oh, oh.
Let’s ask R and Jesus. That’s what we do all the time. Sawyer doesn’t do random. He’s Alexis numbers very intentionally. That was clear. Did you read my letter? No, okay, good. Why was I supposed to? Is that in there? No, you’re just predictable. Which is sometimes a good thing.
Wouldn’t be. We’re using a random number there you go. I’m in Enigma.
I feel like that was your first favorite quote. Yeah. Do you have a first favorite quote Olivia? Your favorite quote in general? Shut up Gabe! That’s an original. Yeah, the bathroom, Gabe.
Honestly, what we would do. We didn’t say anything, which I would just beat on the door excessively.
Until he goes down. And then I leave, and I come back in five more minutes, and then I go. So? Savelengths. And sometimes I start with, like, just a gentle scratching. And then, like, slowly crush into. I’m sure that always helped making go faster. I was a master of Minecraft.
All right. Are you ready to continue? Heck, yeah, yes. Sorry. Here we go. Yeah. In the leaky dingh. With a natural 20. What you know, a Victor Cole? Is? He’s definitely got some reputations amongst the folks here. Um. You know, some people think like, you know, you seem like an all right guy.
He’s just trying to help, you know, he might be. Kind of an idiot sometimes. But, you know, this is trying to help. And you’ve got other people who, because he’s from the Empire, the tear and Empire. They’re like, you know? Colonizer, just gone. Like? Nobody asked for you to be here.
You can go home. Um. And in fact. Like, nobody at home wants in there, either, because that’s why they said I’m here, so. Nobody wants you difficult. Um. He’s doing. Yeah, I know and. So, in terms of like where his his whereabouts like, there were some people that remember his name gave.
Yesterday, there were a couple people here that heard of that, if not. Were present for it. So they were count. You know what you guys remember happening? Um. Finally, use tumble cross. Somebody who makes mention that, oh, he would never be caught staying in a place like this. Um.
Here is definitely going to stay somewhere, like in the luxury district, the rich end of town. Um. So, what? Probably, if they had to guess, like the seashad Chateau? Or something like that, so he came prepared for this conversation.
70 or they’re further questions. Uh, if anybody knew where the out? Post. Might be located. Oh, this direction. His Outposts. Yeah, he was staying him. These people go button now! Okay. The people. Um. The people that were like heard about is speech and heard about, you know? An outbreak, and another place like, that’s crazy.
Um. But there’s lots of remote Villages outside of estasia. The Stars yet essentially doesn’t really associate much with. Other than just like? We’re not gonna bug you like. Our city will stay right here. Sorry about the Travelers that might pass through your jungles every now and then, like we got roads.
Tell him to stick to the roads. So? Not many people know about locations of villages and stuff.
I’m also going to hold up the. Blue. Coat. That we found. Be like, is this belong to anybody?
Um. Dead quiet. Roll an insight check. Insight. Give them advantage again. Or should I roll my roll your own? It’s like after 1920, rolling wrong. Because unless you guys coordinated this planet? I was just saying unless you guys coordinated this plan together before, he said, then you wouldn’t be able to help because an Insight check is a.
Yeah, internal 18. Watching 18, not bad. But yeah. Really much better than that. It doesn’t even combat. This doesn’t vote for us.
So everybody like? Some people just kind of give, like a casual look, and then look away. And, like, some people don’t even bother look at all. Um. Nobody here seems to be the owner of this. Jacket. After a pneumona pause, you still holding the jacket up, somebody says. It doesn’t belong to anybody here.
I’ll take it.
Not what we’re looking for. Shit.
It was worth a shot. Make sure she’s going to put the jacket on. And she’ll wear it until somebody calls her out for having their jacket. Are you serious? Bad guy wore that, yes. But if they think you’re the bad guy? Why would they think that if you’re wearing a cup?
Who else knows there was a bad guys come? I’m sorry.
Six people, and she reported to the guy.
But I’m not here, but. You hear a kunam Sports? There’s that Medicaid, I mean, pension that got loose. I knew they had one. Well, the only people that would think it’s a bad guy’s coach are the ones who already know that I’m not a bad guy. So? Except for the bad guys, but then they might think I’m one of them and tell me stuff to be seen.
You did kill a civilian at one point. They’re not dead. They were, are you here?
Well, I didn’t realize you’re standing right behind me this whole time. No, he actually might be. That’s true. What the shell man? Broody. All right. Anything else we want to do before the next day? Meditate when? Um.
I’m gonna go over to kunak. Yes.
Huh?
And I’m going to. Kunak.
When we were talking that lady, it seemed like, maybe. I don’t know that I was missing something with this watch of mine. I know you, you know, weird, random things that I don’t know? I know a lot, but you know, random things? Can you take a look at this watch?
And tell me what I’m missing. I’d be happy to. And I. Handover. The pocket watch. To him. To take a peek at it.
All right. You may roll. And investigation. Check. With. Disadvantage.
That 20, let’s go. I wouldn’t tell him anything about the watch.
He said, investigation. Check, yeah.
- This is a watch. You think it tells the time of day? Is it like a pocket watch? Is that like a cover on it that like pops up? Yes. He’s gonna look at it. He’s not opening it up and look at it. Pull on a chain. Find the button or whatever that like pops it up.
Pop it up! Oh, I think it does something.
Okay, I understand. Okay. I’ll take it back. I’m glad I think the help with that, um? And then that evening, I’m gonna. Spend more time. And we’re gonna. Oh my pocket watch! In a ritual. I guess. Whatever. I, uh, pull out my goggles. Have for, like, in Toy Story too.
Yeah, yeah. Yep. To.
I’m hoping for a little bit more like the tech magic, but that’s. Oh yeah. Do I have that? I do have that. Okay, went right. Now with identify, though. It says, if it’s a magic item or some other magic imbued object, you learn its properties on how to use them, whether it requires achievement to use and how many charges it has, whether it requires so it’s.
Um. This is not a magical item. Okay. And magic. There’s no spells affecting it, so whatever he put into this watch is purely. Um, mechanical, mechanical. Okay. It’s good. All right, I give it a try.
Oh, I know. I go to bed, very frustrated. I don’t like, not knowing things. Well. I mean, what was the what 20 intelligence?
Just picturing, like, does something? It’s gonna be one of my favorite moments.
Are you not paying attention?
He was playing at the pocket watch. I opened it. Oh, yes, I was playing. Look at that. It looks so, so baffled. It’s about that time of day, all right. Yeah, so everybody rests all the night. Okay. In my house. No dreams, unless you guys want to have dreams.
No. And. In the morning. What is the plan?
Um, I’ll share about the graveyard.
My computer. It’s valid. Okay. Yeah, there’s graveyard. Is Bruno’s on the way? Vernon is a little bit out of the way, because that’s closer to like the Violet sages of spell spire here on the North End, right? That’s kind of the North End of town licky Dinghy. Is source of that?
I’m so sorry, I could just turn his computer around the map. That’s Matt, okay. So up, here was the Violet stages of spell spiral on this little mountain. Yeah. So? It’s down. In this section, the market slash Port District, okay, it’s closer to right here. Where um? Um, Bruno’s place was, you guys are staying down more towards the actual like Coast part.
Yard. The festival and stuff happens on like this luxury District through this area. Like, there’s a street where the parade and stuff is. The luxury District is also where Victor Coles Hotel is. The um, these seashore Chateau. Um, because the statue is right here on this mountain. Okay. Have we heard if there were also attacks in like the poor in Housing and other districts, or was it just the luxury district?
It was just.
And just attacked the festival-ish area. But the graveyard wasn’t? Yeah, right. That’s where they came from. Oh, that’s where that’s where they came. Oh, I misheard, so the graveyard is kind of, like, in this luxury District, but kind of more like on the fringes of it. It’s a really, really old.
Um. Yeah, really old part of town. We know how far apart the seaside just hoe and this graveyard would be. The. So they would be pretty far apart from each other. Honestly, because the seashore Chateau is obviously on these short part, the graveyard is more Inland. Away from. All of the, you know, but both in the luxury Dist.
Feel like we’re doing one or the other. We’re going to, oh my God. Right? But I think we should check out that great. You’re pretty friends when I come home.
And if we just happen to visit our new friend, we’re all over there. I could do that your new friend.
Every barraged with questions. It’s Meg’s world, everybody’s.
She is gonna buy more cakes on her way, though. Oh yes.
I’ll buy three cakes for myself. So?
Fair enough.
All right. So? We’re heading to the luxury District kinds where the cemetery is. Correct? Yes. Um, any other? Plans for where to go? Is that just first stop? Okay, so Cemetery. At the cemetery. Um. So, that’s travel. Are they mostly have it kind of like blocked off and stuff?
The it’s negated Cemetery. Walking the perimeter, though you guys are able to find a spot where you guys can go inside. Um. There’s like the equivalent. It’s not police tape, but like the equivalent of police tape like they’ve kind of got like the area barricaded with, like these little wooden barricades.
To block the section. The Graves were Disturbed. Did the breezy Boys come with us? Yes, if you wanted them to come, they sure are all right. Excellent, and that’s Canon, right? Priest devois?
All right. So? There’s not really anybody here. No police presence. Nope. Huh, and this is the luxury District. Is it a gated community? Like, did we have gated cemetery like? This is a like, how significant? Yeah, I think like, this is a historic cemetery. This is the oldest cemetery in the city essentially.
Um. I’ll be like this matters to you and no one else, even though. But, like when we went to Savannah, it’s like that cemetery. Yeah, like that kind of this play software vaguely. Expressions got conflict. So? Like, really, really old cemetery is left open, not because people are visiting these Graves very often.
But really historical interest, like, oh yeah. This is where the founders are varied.
Like this, move around slither.
Get your nose back my blood! So, what would you like to do if nobody’s around going in cross the arcades? Yes, is there a clear like Trail? From where Footprints would have been from all these corpses. That flooded through the streets. I mean, there’s like six of them. Go ahead and whoever wants to roll and investigation or perception.
Check your choice. Thank you guys have another like spells or things that you’d like to perform.
Nine for me, seven for me 15 perception. So our first of all being investigation? Who wrote perception perception. Okay, this side of the table, um, you rolled 15, 7. 22, 22. Okay, so? What you guys perceive about this place is that? Um. The. Graves that have been disturbed? Um.
Are definitely old, um? A lot of the headstones on these are worn enough that you really can’t read them unless, unless you guys are crossing the barricades. Are y’all Crossing barricades, not at first? I would wait. Like, look around first. Um. This section is barricaded. The section is currently barricaded.
Has like? Several clusters of gravestones almost like, it’s like different families. That have been buried together closely together. Uh, and this whole area is kind of shaded by one of these really tall. Branching out trees with some, like hanging moss and stuff. So? And that’s inside this little barricaded area.
Um. The pads are here. Really old cobblestone. It’s like all warped, and just like, not very smooth. Adding three years. Um.
What does Disturbed? Graves off from like one family from different families like they’re kind of pulled from seems. Like from a person with just a perception check seems random. Now investigation, check people. What y’all bro? 14, 9, 14. Okay. That plus seven is really helpful, so. She’s great collectively.
Collectively, you guys together are, are you guys crossing the very Fades? Yeah! I am, yeah. I would poker right outside first. Can I, can I do a perception check of like looking around? Are there regards or is there? Why didn’t we watching? No, okay. So, investigation. Check crew. After you guys eventually decide to go ahead and cross the barrier.
Um. You’re looking at the names on the headstones and looking at what Graves themselves have been like, have? Been Disturbed. Um, you guys notice that like? These little graves were old enough that, like, there’s not really like caskets down there. Um. Nothing, protecting the bodies. So not really caskets down there.
Um, pretty. You know? Old Pros. Um. No markings of like anybody having dug here. Um, like, no digging. It surely looks like whatever these things were just came out of the ground kind of spontaneously. Um. There’s not any pattern to which ones have. Yeah, there’s not any patterns which ones have come out.
From like different families or anything like that, but you do notice that just from like the ages of these headstones that these are pretty old. These aren’t like the founders themselves, but these are, you know, maybe like descendants of the founders, or like, you know, a couple Generations removed?
So they’re still really old. But not. No rational pattern.
No other markings on the grounds in terms of like. Um, because you might even be looking for like, ritualistic, like summoning marks or anything like that you’re not seeing anything like that anywhere, and you guys aren’t either. Even with, like, some of his help. I’m like, what to look for?
Not a decrease checking around and the priest. Let’s see. It’s a seven. There’s an 18, okay, so? They also. No evidence of like summoning related stuff. Um. Yeah. When connect. Examine the bodies that we found out in the sewers.
How long ago was it stops? He found. Cuz like, if these are old enough that the stone would be worn off. How in the world did the body still have? Like? Flesh on them. I guess I’m asking does kunek, I think it would be possible that those? Would have just been like normal reanimated corpses, or should they have rotted away to skeletons at that point?
I mean. It’s possible that. Like, even though they’ve been buried in the ground that there were some kind of like. Kind of like embalming type stuff to kind of like preserve the bodies in some way, maybe, and that even though they don’t do that anymore unnecessarily as much, it’s still.
At least not with, like. The founders and their family. Thank you. But it’s. Up 100 years. But with profit involving techniques, it would make sense okay to him that okay could still be. I feel like that’s fitting. You can get this guy. What? F. Hakunak. Yeah. And if you’re magical stuff in here?
I feel like that was a microaggression.
They’re an alley or something nearby. I work with real things to do, a ritual cass real quick, and don’t look like I’m summoning the dead. That’s a big oak tree. I mean, you could find, like, they’ve got a couple of these, like larger mausoleum type things that you could duck behind.
I want to do that in a way. Yeah, I don’t want to look like, I’m conspicuously out in the middle being, like. Rise. You can, you can manage. Yeah, okay, cuz there’s like, surprisingly, no one here. Oh, not a Monday. I will hurt you, which is the out from behind it.
Remember you like being married to me? Yeah. Oh, you! Let me read this description of detect magic after 30 seconds. I’m like, coonock, I’m still waiting. I just asked you a question. He’s not on the plane anymore. I’m sorry. It’s already inhaled the incense. He’s he’s gone for 10 minutes, I think.
Is there a sewers below here? Probably. I don’t have the map memorized. But for? City of this size population growth. Take an hour a few years. Is the older part of the city. I would say so. How can I get to it?
Yes, weaker big.
And went back to your detect manager before I forget. To walk around with it active once it’s active so and. How far of a perimeter are you taking like the graveyard, the whole grain? Okay, so quite a long stroll, so you’ll hit as much of it as you can in 10 minutes, um, in 10 minutes.
Yeah, but on the drug really want to Sprint be the graveyard. Actually, he is the runner you can. We can run. I mean, do you want to Sprint cover the whole? How about spring, he’ll jog, okay, endurance, run. Okay, so you were able to cover a quite large portion of this graveyard.
Um. Do not detect. Any necrotic? Residue whatsoever. No necrotic spells or anything like that. Um. Oh, necromantic. Yeah, okay. Or like necromantic? Yeah, that’s what I meant. And. You? Get a faint, faint, faint, magical presence in the area around the. Like, where the bodies have come out of the ground?
Which indicates to you that it had nothing to do with the spell, but just the presence of some kind of like magical creature. Of some sort.
But that could also just be the corpse creatures themselves.
It might be something else. Hmm, I don’t know. Who would know that?
It’s cake!
He will share this information. Not, as when did he expect him to be after a priest has been running all over his entire place? Okay, Jason born. I’m priest and played on.
It sounds like Santa yeah.
There goes Pune Tech magic around you.
All right, yeah, so I. Uh, it’s bad indigo Montoya with the sword. Yeah.
Just skip time. Yeah, cheers. That, what did you? I want to go into the sewage below this. Most. Cities. The sewers follow the roads, so hopefully underneath this brother might be a sewer. That’s right next to the. This graveyard. Can we tell if the? Corpses came up out of the ground.
Still like a big crater? Are there any corpses there? Like in any of the graves that are open. No, they’re, so there are headstones around, but they’re very pain to read. Oh dear, what’s your question? Can we follow? Oh, like, into the ground. You’re just gonna jump in the hole.
I, uh, we’re gonna loot. So, if you hop down in one of the holes, like it’s just, you know? It’s, yeah, just a whole where somebody’s. Sometimes crawled out of there. Oh great. Oh, it’s probably just like a little hole. It’s worth asking. Jumping up and down. It’s okay.
So big call. In Umbaku cell, he spent a decent amount of time. Passing. Passing time. With this claws carving into the. The wall, so he’s a very strong sense of. Tactile sense of? Words in stone. The gravestones are pretty much worn away. They’re hard to read. Can he take his claw?
Let’s see if we can trace. Names or letters. I’m going to ask me a joint warnings.
I guess, well, what am I looking for? I’m looking for, like, family, like. Any ruling family names?
Going to come up with any specific ones. They are because there’s not any correlation between, like, the names of families and which graves. Okay, um? Seemingly pretty random. Um. The names on here are like? But she wouldn’t recognize any of them. Maybe Octavius would? Of like? Like? Pretty wealthy names.
Um. Oh yes, the Smith family name. And. Like old? Old grapes. That are, you know, several hundred years old?
I guess that would be old for animals. Just not for coming. Yeah. Does it feel you’re really quiet around this place? If it’s the whole city right now. Yes, it’s a graveyard. I know, but it’s the epicenter of. Something happening. Theaters. Not a soul here.
I need nearby entrances to the stores. That’s fine, asked. I. Step out of the graveyard. Um, because there’s not really any? Um. They’re probably looking for more like manfold covers type things. Um. None of that really. Around here, you’d have to exit the graveyard and even like the. Um.
So, I walk around with graveyard, I mean. Um. Sidewalk cross from, like the street. The surrounds this graveyard. No main holes across that. Are there houses around? They’re like buildings and stuff across the street, really History. Check for me.
Uh, history, yeah, no, plus, five. Uh, 14, 14. So you would remember that, like? This graveyard used to be bigger. And they’ve had. Build. I’m like, some of the perimeter of the graveyard as the city has kind of expanded. And. So, it’s not actually sewers under some of these nearby streets surrounding this graveyard, because underneath the streets is actual more.
Her body’s under some of these streets. I don’t love that. Okay. Is? Careful where you’re walking?
Who’s good at talking to people? Did you go bring out the neighbor’s house? See if they saw anything. Sure. All right, we’ll walk with somebody who had a nice view. Of the graveyard. All right, and also doesn’t look too terribly ostentatious. All right. Let’s play it! We’re gonna row some coffee, Victor Cole.
Oh boy! Why did you just do? It’s that an authenticiousness level. So, you find a house that does not look very ostentatious. I mean, like, they all kind of do, like, in this area of this neighborhood, but comparatively. This one’s a little bit more Ram, Shackle, and. Um. How’s it been, you know, cleaned?
Recently, like, you know, there’s? Like mildew. It looks like on the outside of what used to be a nice like white. Stone house. It’s kind of.
Hmm, you go you. Knock on the door. How do you want to play this good cop backup? How about I talking, you don’t? Now, let me roll another one. See what race they are?
Ah, I’ll just be the muscle.
Shall expand. You think this head really?
Hmm.
A. Old. Graying. Furball. Opens the door. And what can I do for you? Well, what’s your name? My name. Is James rampant?
Patron of the random family you are who? Huh?
I have to speak a little louder.
Yes. All right. Why are you, here, you here to bring the the papers? Which papers, the newspapers, oh? What time is it?
No, but I did bring you a cake. Okay, you say?
It takes a little handkerchief. That’s, there’s nose. I wouldn’t mind there’s some gig. Are you, like, would you like to come in? Yeah, okay. All right, who’s your friends? Yeah, well, we’re getting there. Did I invite you? I’m her bodyguard. He’d like to be. This is a trial one.
Huh? Yeah. All old people know each other. Uh, are you old? No, who’s my mother? Well, come in. I mean, you make side eye contact with kunak and you say that, and then he looks faster. That mean? Okay, it is that, yeah. Oh. And share some cake. I’m sure he is delighted.
I don’t know if I could say win the last time I had a visitor was. Well, it wasn’t yesterday then. No, or the day before. No, no. Does anything fun happened in the last few days fun? No interesting, interesting, strange. Strange, wonderful.
It’s like, yeah, you confuse them enough, though, jailbreak, until you everything say the word, yes. I fire my gun. Fire my gun, would you would I? Um. I mean. No, I, um. I don’t get up much. Even during the festival, it’s. They’re too old. Paradise. When’s the last time you got the newspaper?
Well, it’s been a couple days.
So you don’t know?
I think it’s bad few days. Are you well, well, your nose? No, I’m James.
Will is my brother. Oh, he’s that. It’s over there. Link at the center. Oh no, we’re not that.
It was. Cheap.
Well. I’m bills on graveyard and all that. The house is around it. Don’t look cheap. Well, they don’t look it. But they are? I lean towards Mang and black. Can we speak this up?
So you didn’t see anything out of any Windows the last couple days? Now, I normally have a cotton’s drawn.
No weird sound. No. Vibrations.
No. I mean, not, no other than like the normal stuff. Do I want to know about the normal stuff? All right. Sometimes the pipes get all backed up.
Why is that? I don’t know. Back on my day, we didn’t have pipes in the house. We just took it in a bucket and throw it off the window, but this is still your day. You’re not dead, right? I mean. I suppose.
Um, or anything all right. Have you got any cake either? Did I catch you cake? Yes. Um. All right, if your neighbors very nice. Or at least a little noise. They, they don’t visit me much. You know, talk much. I think they think that I am contagious old man.
What do you thinking? An old man. Maybe not so contemporary. Maybe hold on? Let me just restart. Well, we want to look maybe, like, under the graveyard, because some stuff came out the other day, and we can’t find any good Clues. And you have a great view of the place where it happened.
Item C. Can we something bad happened? Yeah, someone dead. Things came out and attacked bunch of people during the festival, so the festival was kind of off. Oh yeah. They’re gone now, though. Yeah. But we’re trying to figure out what, why it happened, and? It would be nice if you know we could.
Folk around. Maybe that’s why I didn’t get the paper? Yeah. Probably.
I’m old. I didn’t even know.
I’m trying to figure that out. Does he look sick?
We got a bad case of this nipples. Do I know any fun home remedies that I could or, you know, remedies that I could the town got sick? Before the back. The. Undead came up. That’s true.
That was me, yeah? How much brand do you have you have?
When I bought kicks, did I buy like cakes, or did it by like? Yeah, personal fact, all right.
Anybody wants to roll on inside, check, and roll on inside? Check on this old man, too, if you’d like. Intact. Nope. 21. Do I need one?
- 24 very insightful crew that’s robot!
Probably plus zero. I’m still focused on looking really big. Okay. 11 plus here, but I had to restart my. So, you definitely know that, like, he seems very upset news. Um, but it seems that he’s more upset by the news. Because. He, like. Like not because? The subject matter itself freaked him out.
Necessarily, um, guys, who rolled really high. You’re aware that, like, this man being an old man. He’s already mentioned that, like, he doesn’t get visitors. His neighbors don’t talk to him, like, he’s, uh, lonely. Homie old man and what has made him so distraught about the news is that he didn’t even know like that.
He’s so old and one foot in the grave that he. You know, didn’t know. I just didn’t know that there was an awful attack from the graveyard, right side, right outside his house. And that he’s been upset because the paper hasn’t arrived at his doorstep past two days. Now, he comes to realize that, you know, he’s maybe being a bit of a jerk about it because something bad happened.
So, since you’ve lived here. Like, a long time, right? Yes, I forgot to mention you with your natural one. This guy. He is clearly a very grumpy old man, and he does not like visitors, and with not like, no, he, he was. He liked he’d like, you guys to leave.
That’s my interpretation. As a one.
Yes, um, we couldn’t use your help then, cuz none of us have lived here and all accept him. And he’s not, you know, here. Um. Would you want to help us? Find some answers.
It takes his. Velvet robe, perhaps a little bit tighter around himself. I don’t know. I would be much help. Well, thank you for your time. Start walking halfway through the door.
Because I was thinking that, since we don’t know your neighbors if you were the one that introduced us, then maybe we could all figure out what happened because, you know. They might not open their door to us. My neighbors don’t like me, but they know you. I don’t know me.
They’re good. No.
Can I get you something? Oh, I’m I’m fine. I’m fine. Mine isn’t very nice to do with new friends. Oh. Mr furball guy. Okay, yes, how long have you been sick?
Mr James. What again? James Watigue. No, it’s not. Well, again, what again with the neighbors across the street?
Got it. I’m off.
S, REM, death, REM, d-a-th. She’s sick too. Okay. I’ve been sick for several months now.
I mean, it’s, it’s gotten better. When was it the worst? Maybe?
I smoke was probably the worst. Escaped, with nothing more than just. Runny nose.
So, for other people more sick. Sorry, you talk really fast, I. I’m working on it. You actually sell, like squirrel. Where other people more sick. No, I don’t, I don’t know with other ones were said or not.
Can I poke around your basement? You might have mold. Oh. Maybe? I can’t really afford a cleaner anymore, especially with this big place, and it just being me. Well, some of these people are really good at cleaning somehow, like, just beautiful. He went nine. It would be very kind of you around and fucking the basement.
Could I make you something for you?
There’s nothing here in this house that’s got to do anything. What if he made yourself to go with the rest of the cake?
It’s a little dry.
Instead, he’ll remove it bag of cocoa leaves. I would like to see if I can do anything to help him with his clothing, like home remedy, more like a little medicine check.
Yeah, 14. So, I mean. Buddha whip something up. This, you’re not least help with, like? You know? A little bit with the sinuses and stuff. Um, you look around even like? Would you help yourself to stuff in his cabinets at all? So he’d let you. He wouldn’t mind, um.
There’s lots of food. That’s like. Or multi. He’s got plants in the windows Cell that are. Um. There’s not much the trouble Salvage. But.
Can help. Open up a science is a bit.
We’re able to glean. From like? The house, like what he did or used to do. Hmm, well, an investigation check. Terrible investigation 14. 14 years. Are we headed to basement? It’s interesting he, um? It’s not clear that he did much to really anything. It seems that he was. He was all the money, and he lived off of that for the majority of his life.
And now that he’s come to the end of his? Yeah.
So, he’s like friends with people on high places. And, like, you know? Stuff like that, but?
Where has his basement? All right. The basement. Loaded, full of just boxes of things. You know? Oh, paintings! Stir, like old furniture stuff that, like, maybe, would have been like decorating the house. That. Over time, it’s just been moved down into a basement. Is there anything like going on walls or that looks like it wouldn’t belong here, um?
Can I help you? Or can I? Can I also search with you? Yeah.
-
- There we go.
So? There isn’t like mold or anything, but there’s like a couple spots peeking through where, like, looks like some, like, tree roots, or, you know, like? Plants, or something has like grown down into them. Yeah, I think I would be looking for, like, an access hole to something outside of the basically.
Um, like, any like UPS like Windows or things, yeah, actually. But like? If there were like any kind of tunnels, yeah?
Root into, like a bottle or bag or something. Uh, any cool trinkets or anything around? Oh Lord, yes, like, there’s. Like, I said, there’s like, there’s paintings of him with, like. You know, famous people in the city, and like, really, really, really high-end pieces of furniture and stuff that’s in display cases.
It seems that, like, all this was stuff that used to be up, like. In this house, we’re in a bigger house. Or, you know? To make it a little bit easier to navigate, have some wider foot pads upstairs, like things have been moved down easier to clean. Things have been moved down here to store.
In the basement.
What any?
Oh, no.
You better tell us that man. And I’m I’m waiting till we’re. We’re along in this. I don’t know the rest of. Whatever we’re doing. Is there any rooms, or is it just one big room let you guys do? Investigation.
Man, how far are we want to be down here? I don’t know. I found this tree root thing that maybe people can, like, test, I don’t know. Because it doesn’t look like there’s wrong, but there’s an actual plant growing now. So we could go back up, so I will say I rolled on the cosmic dice, like double zeros, is like the most helpful result.
To your cause. I roll they 99.
Or there’s just nothing here, and that was the best that he gets scrape. Correct? Yep. This is a Royal waste of time.
We can stick you in the basement. James fight me, okay? My friend. As we are friends, we are both old. It’s very important. Do I know you? Yes, long ago. Make Galaxy. He believes you. I see that you’re sick. You’ve been sick for. A long time. It doesn’t seem.
From our conversation that you’re enjoying your state in life. Am I correct? Where’s this going? Yeah. I. I too, once made, the mistake of not living. In my last days. In my last good days. It looks really confused you! I have a spare sword. Come with us, enjoy! Oh no.
Enjoy your last days!
Fighting Valiantly alongside us. I, I kneel down and hand him. My shorts store. Are we coming up for this box just as you like? Turn the hall on these. It’s like Midway through reaching for something, and it’s just like looking under. Okay, um? You broke to it, roll up persuasion, check okay.
Can I use my inspiration for this? Yes!
That’s a four. Though, all right, so top would be. Uh. Top would be eight. You know if you’re rolling in the Box, it gives you better luck. Okay?
Think you had to get a 30. So? I. I feel very honored. No, it’s done anything like this for me, you know? Great, long time! Oh, stand up! I, um. I’m afraid I would only slow down. But. Um. To the neighborhood. Stop by and visit me sometime!

They go to life than?
Steve. Tiny.
Mr James furbo, guy. If you cannot be with us? Literally! It could be with us. Metaphorically. Is there anything you’d want us to take with us to help our cause in your honor? You’re welcome to help yourself anything in the basement I need to get. Yeah. I run down there, a Turtle run.
Like, please, I know me. We had a court. Oh, we can’t. I even like lowered the DC. I was, like, oh my God.
Okay, come on. Yeah, I was just asking to be taken on it. I was a big trainers that you guys are gonna take this old man with you, and he’s gonna like die in the field. It’s got like we keep alive. It’s gonna be like the level just reanimate him.
Yeah, level one or two. Oh my gosh. You always have that problem, and when you’re playing from answers where you can’t find someone to reanimate. Bring your own!
Yeah. This is, this is not the last time we’re talking to James.
Is there any locked boxes or anything in the basement? He did say anything, he said anything. There’s nothing locked, but they’re saying, abuse. There’s some like display cases. Bike with. Bike some jewelry and stuff.
Anything I would. Think might be magical. I mean. Well, definitely like there’s some stuff in here. That’s probably valuable. Any Weaponry? There is a really ornate. Um, Rapier. It’s like. You know, like? Mounted. Oh, it’s like it used to hang on the wall somewhere.
I guess I’ll grab it. All right. Are you down with me, or is it out of the way dude? Well, on my way down the stairs. Yeah, I guess we’ll all go down. Well, this is happening. Um. Um, James. James, could I? Perform the blessing on. A blessing on this house?
For you. All encompassing. I mean, if you wish. I would love to. And then he will go. To the four directions of the house and? Do it.
I will need to cross the goat, but? You’re good! Oh yeah, is there a shield down there? I need the shield. Hmm, let’s roll Cosmics. Oh yeah, you find a really nice like. Go even like decorative Shield, a gold Shield. I will run it down gold shield. What does impocket?
Okay, bumps up my armically. Let me look because you really need I don’t have a shield.
Plastic. Um. Meng’s gonna write an order for whatever he used from James’s kitchen. To a bruna store and ask for a delivery of those items.
So that she has to bring. Oh wow! I could get delivery. Yeah, are you gonna get that to her? Yep, Messengers, right? I mean, the priests are still technically with you guys. The breasty boy. Yeah, it’s really helping me with the right, but yeah. But. So you can send.
And there, they can also be pretty quick. Yeah, let’s do that stuff.
It’s called walking anywhere. Oh, the air is heavy down here.
So all right. All right. What are you looking for? Well, I had to take up all your tapes. Oh, somebody else, go. I’m unless I’m the last. Does anybody know does anything interesting? I’m looking for hand wraps. Hand wraps. Yep, you find some, like, really, really nice. Like? Tapestries and?
Like, rugs like Turkish style rubs like, really nice. Not any. Like, yeah, what do you mean by hand, like fighting correct? Oh. But if you wanted to take one of these, like? Turn that into some hands, prepared gloves of him next to Muhammad Ali. Goes boxing about. There seems like.
I leave it for James. All right, you have an ornate. Rapier, right there. I’ll take my golden Shield. I guess you can have the right there. Anything special that is Rapier other than ornate. Um, you look. Like etched into the base of the? Blade, like right before it gets to like the hilt it has, like the.
My M Staff name.
Okay, okay. So somebody in James’s family? Was a fighter of some sort. And actually, if you guys do any investigating, you’ll find like, there are pictures. Um. I’m like. You know how? Nobles get dressed up and stuff. There’s a picture of a much younger James, all dressed up and like wearing the rape ear.
All right. Uh, unbox footbed looking for. Let’s see. I’m getting any like a breastplate or armor. Um. No bags of holding. Uh, but yeah, like, uh, any kind of weapon where it depends armor? Um.
There. There’s not really any, like, full suits of armor or anything, but you do find like a nice again ornate. Like? Kind of gold. Helmet. Close this sound nice? Hmm, does it put over his mate? Or is this like verbal shape and I’ll say you can also find some like?
Like one gold than like? Gauntlet to her griefs that you can wear around, like, right here, and kind of covers the front of your hand. It’s like a golden ornately crafted and looks like it would. Fit with. Whatever sword arm. The histogram, so it’s like right-handed Gauntlet. It’s a little bit smaller for you.
It’s as with the helmet, but maybe like a pretty crafty blacksmith. Give the digestion.
Time to head out.
Agreed. Oh boy! James RAM death. I leave my short sword like literally at the threshold of his door. Just like, so every time he looks at the door, he remembers it. He sees it.
He said.
We’re just redecorating.
Really ceremony. Is it sharp, or is it doll? Have you never been used? Well, it’s ceremonial swords are often not sharpened. Well, luckily I know a guy. It can be.
All right. You don’t happen to breathe fire. Do you? That would be a really cool skill that you may or may not have. He’s a lion, not a dragon. Because worth asking. I’m still confused as to what everyone’s capable of. Okay.
Quick break super quick!
And. Like, meow, yeah, he’s, you know, nice golden. He’s got the mail. Yeah, he’s got a best time. But like leaves the arms out and expose and showing, so he’s a little muscly. Um. Meow. Good evening, and welcome to the seashore Chateau. See what a name? He is. And his name.
My name is Julia. Julian Julian. Um, I have this cake for my friend Victor Cole. Um. And I want to drop it off for him. Is he here? Um. I don’t know if he’s currently available. Um. But if you would like to leave it here, I’m sure one of our attendance can drop it off at his room personally.
Would you like to even note? Well, could you find out if he’s not sure, but like if he is? That’d be nice. All right, so he pulls a cord that like. And somebody comes. And. Same kind of get up, like red vest and stuff like that, and you know, go check on Victor Cole’s room.
Um. So, he whispers it. So, I want you to make a perception check. I got perception. Anybody else would like to roll perception? Sure? Anybody. 18.
Not higher than? I did not hear eight.
So, YouTube mention room at 432.
If I look at my surroundings? Would I be able to determine like if there are there like multiple floors? Yeah, there are multiple floors like what I’d be able to figure out where 432 is in relationship, probably the it’s the fourth floor. So, which is? The highest floor appear.
Um. So, you guys, wait. While this person runs up to? See a picture calls here and run back down. And say. Unfortunately, Victory call is not here at the moment, exactly. That’s okay. Do you have like a cover to put on so it doesn’t dry out? They dry out really fast.
So, the, you know, get like a little? You know, container, to put in? Okay, she’ll even know. Just like men here, stop by to give you this. I hope your day is going better than yesterday.
Okay. Is room 43 open? No, just kidding. Have we seen any guards? Um, around here, there’s like been some more. There’s been a couple cards here and there. Yeah, like Hotel security guard, um, some city guards as you guys were walking here. Um. Exist. Um. Yeah, and here they’ve got a couple of Hotel staff.
Is there like a map of the hotel, or can we see? So they. I mean, if you ask for a map, they could provide you one. Okay. This is a nice place. Do I perceive? Anybody being sick around here? Um, roll up position chick. Anybody else want to look around to you or?
You shared that you’re looking for, uh, sick people? Are you guys things like people? Uh, I’m kind of distracted. So, if you would like to? Like, Grant Advantage on the role, or if you’d like to roll separately, and I would want to do. Oh, would you recommend? Yeah, you.
You look at sick people more often than I do here. Is that, yeah?
Um, you don’t notice anybody in here stick. There’s a couple of guests like in the waiting rooms and stuff, but I can’t keep an eye out. Nobody, nobody sniffling. Like James ram, death or anything. This is the name. Can. To the fourth floor from. Ones jump to the fourth floor from the lobby.
Yes, you probably couldn’t jump there. I don’t know. Step at the wind. How does that work? Is that double your jump speed? It does. I don’t have. I don’t have that spell going. The judge Bell yeah, James Bell, stepping for win? It just looks like Superman just stepped on.
He’s just throw flubber down on. Okay, thank you and they’ll go outside, put the map. At the desk, embaku is going to ask. Do you know have any good plumbers? In the area. I’m asking for family. You know, I can give you the the name that we normally contact if we have issues here.
So they write down like a little something. Slide it to you. Thank you. Would I? Would we be able to figure out so? I read it would be able to figure out where the plumber is in the city. Yeah, it likes this. Okay, their business name?
All right. And the other questions.
From outside, can many kind of figure out where room 432 would be? 432 would be overlooking the ocean. Fancy? On the balcony or anything? Um, use bought a couple. But not. I guess I would know which one we record 432 would be no. 432. There’s only a balcony on the second floor, and it looks like, like, their tables and stuff set up there that you can see that makes it look like it’s almost like a restaurant or loungers or something.
Um. With the rooms themselves don’t have balconies, but they do have, like large windows. Open up an. Overlook the ocean. Um. Is it in any way possible that men could climb up there and look through or get into the window? Mmm. I mean, it is kind of a well-decorated hotel, which means that there’s lots of like stonework and stuff like.
Outside, here, you could probably financial it with a good athletics or acrobatics check.
Well, she’s just investigating. For now, hold on. We’re not going up yet. Just take a look. I mean, we could eat in the restaurant. Came afford that. Can I see a menu for the second? Restaurant. Well, you guys were inside. They had one of those little stance. In fact, it said, like the today’s specials and stuff.
Um, it’s free pricing. Uh, we could go for drinks. Are there? Late night appetizer. Yeah, happy hour. They’re happy hour happy hour at hotel, no?
Would be cool though. I could go for drinks. Do we know how long, what Spartans know everything? Victor Cole will stick around. Oh, he did. He said it. It’s gonna be like? Week or something?
Greg does not remember what Octavius remember, okay? Have you seen his intelligence score dude heroes? All right. I know that Dylan remembers checking the Wiki. I think it was only a couple of days that he was playing on being here out and a pretty soon. So? Within the week.
Yeah, he’s getting.
So, we’ve either follow him with or without his knowledge or consent. Right? At that point. What time is it playing to tracker on him? Yeah, what is this tracker? It’s. Very distinct object, which once you have seen it, you can locate it. You with the spell of locate object?
What kind of machinery is this?
How does the machination work? You’re asking the wrong. Yeah, so the object itself is not agile. It’s just an object actually very specific object, but it’s a specific enough object that if you use the spell locate object. You could specify that. And know exactly where it’s at within. Thousand foot radius.
It’s quite large. For how long? An hour? It’s like 10 minutes, oh thousand, feet like that large. For City now. Yeah, for the city.
Do you have that ability? No, that’s why I showed it to everyone. She’s hoping that one of you guys have that ability or will eventually have it. With, you don’t have look it up. Nope. She’s a broke. So that, like? It’s a Tracker object, but not we can’t track him.
Yeah. Okay, it’s an investment.
She does. I don’t have that ability. I say. We use the map that we have, and we try and track down this tab. Um, can we wait until like after tonight?
And I could use some cover. Like a blanket, maybe a distraction on the beach?
Bonfire, perhaps? I like fire, I know, casts bright light. But if you do it far enough away? Take your attention elsewhere. No disrupt people’s night vision. That’s true. And that way. It’s like the festival of stars, but since all the normal festivities are not happening, maybe people really want to go to this one.
Oh, definitely want to join a bunch of Outsiders. Festival. Well, it’s for the Outsiders came here for the festival, and now aren’t getting their festivals. I like this plant. Yeah. What are y’all collecting in to start a bonfire? Great, okay. Drift with probably more available. James.
Old paintings get rid of these paintings. No, no crates. We’ve got lots of boxes and grates and his basement by the, uh, yeah. I don’t know if that was mentally people out. Body’s in, but either way. So, we have a little doing a poor job. We have a little time before dark.
So, yeah, you guys have time. I guess we’re pretty nice kid. Do we need to spread the word? Do we need to like? Go back into the sewers where we were before. I think. This gives us an opportunity. For a skill challenge. In the building and scheming of this, because I’m assuming you’re planning on possibly climbing and breaking into.
Yep, Victor Cole’s room, that’s exactly Mission Impossible style. Yeah, all right. Yeah, but like with a marching band to the noise and with the joint bonfire to cover the? What is this a quiet street, or is this populated? This is a this is the luxury District, so it’s like lots of visitors, wealthy visitors, and it’s for the festival of stars.
Yeah, and like, everybody’s kind of in their hotels because the actual festivities have not been going on, so we need everyone else so I can get into the hotel rooms so we can create Flyers that say the Ageless Smith. Is going to be creating a bonfire with his friends.
That we will be using to. Forge new weapons. Artists, artisanal weapons. In real time. The festival of stars correct. They’re they’re souvenirs, yes, and I will, but also useful in case the undead come back, because that’s really what this festival’s been about this year. Exactly, you have enough material.
For such a James.
Uh, every blessing listen. Verbal James has got it all. There were. There were Jewels or precious metals. There were crates. If we have what we need. There you go. All right, I’ll see what I can help. So, you’re gonna do that. Yep. Megan’s gonna help gather and then. Get all of her things in order, and then whoever wants to challenge.
The Gladiator to fight on the beach? Oh my. With the new weapons. Mmm, test your weapons against a real Gladiator. I would love to ask Octavius.
Um. Are there any? There is. Worshiped here that? Feel with. The porch or? Making things.
Who might be interested?
Like a subset of people that? Worship the making of. Like, if there’s a temple somewhere, I can go to. Invite and see if they want to. Come along and!
Are are there like 5e gods here, like all Hammer and?
You could probably find, like? Uh, they’re like a couple temples and places around here, um. Probably one for Mahi. Gotta support. That might be like, that’s close enough you. Yeah, especially if y’all are also doing like. Combat, you might fight a fight. Fight the Gladiator guy gladiator’s challenge. Learning some practical self-defense against the zombies?
Honestly. There you go, and then try it out on a while here. Okay, I can. Let me explain how this skill challenge is going to work, like. You need to roll three successes. In order to be able to pull off a proper distraction, that’s. That’s going to help give.
Um. Meng. Most covered. Enter into Victor Coles. Um. You guys can volunteer to do like something and pitch. Like, what skill you feel like you should be rolling to do that? The more successes you start to roll. The easier it will get for you. Um, the more failures you roll.
It can also make the DC higher. So? You want to be mindful of, like, what skills you pick? And, you know, trying to play to people’s strengths? In order to pull this off. So, mine is going to go door to door. Invite a bunch of people, including, like a lot of people in the hotel.
She’s gonna do a little like song and dance to invite him sure. So, what are you wanting to roll or do that performance? All right. So go ahead and roll a performance check.
16, 16. All right, there’s our first success. So?
So people know about it. Nice. The music is freaking me out. I love ice cream pizza. I just like ice actually. All right.
So, you’ve got some invitations going out. The Ross would like to? Contribute their skills or talents to try. Explain for this event.
Driven another plan. I, I could. Create. Guiding lights to the bonfire with. Some.
Recorded messages too. Says, come to the fire. To see the. Ancient Noah ageless Smith. The ancient and his wander scrap. And yeah, I can place those in those have.
Yeah, I could. I could do a series of different ones. Yeah, it’s like you’re walking through an amusement park and stuff a little. Yeah. It literally like the things that are just disguised as rocks. Yes. Try your hand against a gladiator. Who fought? Yeah. Go ahead and roll like you would be rolling.
For spell. It’s like, roll your spell attack spell attack bonus. Okay, be your intelligence cluster proficiency.
I think to my salvage, it, yeah. Professions too, right? Yeah. This and tell this so. At the 10. Ask if you ever worked failure. Here, you’re older three, yes, yeah, dude, and you got a 10 out of that. Yeah. So? It will still like function like you’ve. It still works, but whether or not it is entirely helpful.
Well is yet to be seen. So? All right, so we’ve got one success and one failure. Um, who would like to go next? We need to hit. Three successes in order to pass the skills damage. I don’t really have any. I can do athletics on the beach. It’s like, look.
Big and strong and. Agile. He’s one of those, like 1930s, California of Beach bodybuilder dudes. Yeah, yeah, like the strong man, like? Not circumse mustache, but yes, yes. All right, yeah. Um, what role do you are you pitching for this athletic Athletic athletics?
Success. Yeah. Food. Nice. 26. Yep.
Must Powers baby.
All right, so expected the DC again. All right, we’ve got two successes in one failure. And one more success I heard. Accomplish this so I could potentially roll. I’m thinking it’s either insight survival or decks, just a flat dexterity to like, do the actual. Forging. I don’t know. Yeah, let’s say.
Because you’re proficient with your blacksmithing tools. Yeah. Um.
What’s your, what’s your name? Strength is your? What are you trying to like? Are you trying to forge? I mean, something that looks. Ornate like, okay, so, yeah, that probably would be next already. All right, so go ahead and roll dexterity plus proficiency. Okay, 15 best role for him today.
Yeah. Plus six, so 21. Running on. All right, that’s a success.
I am the other Greece could be there to provide medical age for anyone who participates EMS. Yeah. Here to make this. Legit and make sure nobody gets hurt. In the city guard. Don’t get nervous. Great! So we’ve already got our three successes, but go ahead and roll like. Like a medicine, boys are here too.
Does he get advantage? Yeah, maybe.
21 good thing! So, you’re a failure. Yeah. After adding the most.
Uh, I’m also gonna. Put these like? Smell bombs. Near where Mang is going to try to climb. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nice. What kind of smell are you going for? I’m going straight. Yeah, yeah. All right, sorry, Meng. All right.
So? The. You guys start the bonfire. You’ve collected all this stuff that you need, so you might start the bonfire. You’ve got like a little makeshift forge going on, and like, you know. Um, he’s black sand and actin real tough. Um. People at first are, like, a little put off by the stones because they’re like, it’s The Rocks are talking, um.
But like, once they realized that, like, oh, this is like, part of the bit, like they, the festival’s still going on. No, no, we’re we’re. We are the best currently. Yeah, it’s us. For the record, I definitely would have invited James and. Bruno. Okay, they both got direct invitations.
I would have also like J yeah. But, of course, with with y’all’s invitations. Absolutely. James’s front row seat, and actually when you left, like I’m guessing to get like old crates and stuff that you want you wanted to use to help burn. He’s like more than happy to donate that, actually, he.
When you stop by his house a second time. He’s got his like roll decks out, looking through old context to try to find, like, who he can contact to like, help him like, get rid of some of this stuff or sell it off. Um, so he really took what you said to heart.
And when you invite him to this little Festival thing, he’s like, I haven’t let the house in a while. All right, so he gets done up. He’s out, um, the pressure with little King. Definitely with this handkerchief. But. People seem at first a little bit hesitant to even attend something like this, but as they see that.
You know, you guys are trying to, like, you know, bring some of the liveliness, the spirit of the festival back. I especially with a lot of these people being Outsiders like they, they do kind of like, take part. Um. So, yeah. Lots of distractions going on, um main. Um.
There are still people like. At the restaurant. And they are currently looking down the beach. Towards. The. You know, they’re like enamored guy. What’s happened down this way? Everybody’s looking that way? So, you’ve got one half of the hotel. Blank right now. Okay. Um, she’s gonna have her math.
She also would have when she went to invite Bruna. Have grabbed like window washing materials. A little belt. All right. And that that General Store found. She’s gonna button it up, like a window washers get up. Um. Is gonna give you guys that? Because she found the gold, though.
And she’s, you know, very thankful. Okay. When I see her start climbing, I’m gonna go back to the front desk. And ask for. Victor call. Here again, I see to check it on him. Um. We will send in attendant to see if there’s anybody that is. Um. Ask him to come down.
So? All right, so that’s been done. You’re climbing, just like a window washer, just like a window washer. So, I would like for you to roll. Athletic or acrobatics approaching? Okay. I was, like, wait a minute. Nice, uh, yeah, also trying to steal. Okay, 12. 16. 16. All right, so you are?
Able to? No climb up? No problem. Um, go ahead and make a separate role for stealth.
14 + 8, 22, all right. Yeah, so you were able to climb? Up the side of this hotel. Um, you get up to the window. You tuck your map double check you peek in. You don’t see anyone in there for a second, though you do see, like, as like?
Door opens. You see, an attendant go in a check. Look around. Leave. I’ve heard multiple windows. It’s just mostly this main window here. Okay. Cuz she would shoot more for like a bathroom window. Than the main one. But if this isn’t, there’s only one option she’ll go for this one.
Yeah. I don’t like the whole bathroom window. Can she get it open? So? Um. You’re gonna have to. With your thieves. These tools picking set? Yep, you got those, right? Yeah.
Shit. Yes. So, that’s just proficiency. Should be sliding well. It should be. Dexterity. Plus, if you’re proficient in those, then your proficiency, okay.
- No problem. Unlock the. The glass you’re able to like? Um. There’s enough of a crack between the window here that you’re able to like, slide them something in, and like, undo the latch. So? You are inside of Victor Cole’s hotel room. Um, we’re going to time out there really quickly, and what’s happening at the festival right now.
What is happening? Who’s challenging? Yeah, is. Am I going to be fighting random? You better not, no, so I, I take some of the materials I found and use particularly a couple of the like pieces of jewelry to like, make a really nice looking Hill, like the blade is, is normal.
But I make like a really ornate looking hilt with some of that jewelry. And then, like, dramatically hold it Aloft and glimmers in the bonfire and be like, who challenges? This cat man. Okay. And as soon as? As soon as he holds that up. Um, kunaku was over, maybe kind of.
Off the side, we’ll cast you and caused the bond bonfire to brighten and kind of like flare up a little bit. Can you control the shape? You can cause flames to flicker bright and dim or change color for one minute. Okay, make it look like me. More control flames smell to be able to like change shape of it.
I’m pretty sure, but. Correct green and the blue, and so all right. But yeah, the bonfire flares. Um, sword glinting, let’s see. Add to my drama. So you got Olivia left before this? I know, missing the best part. No, she’s James was the day. So somebody does stand up to volunteer.
The minute.
That would be one of those call and ambulance.
So, how’s your heart rate doing? It’s okay, he has priesty boys. No, I mean, like, Sawyers. I’m so. A human. Steps comfortable, a human. Yeah, yeah. Tool, man, do I recognize this? Yeah, that is not Victor Cole. But it is a human. Do I recognize this person I’m? You guys know?
The Empire colors. Red wine blue. He’s got Empire colors on one Victor Cole’s man. So? Are you holding up the sword? Or, like, you offering it to him, or is he gonna have to use his own? Yeah, I I? I offer it to him. All right, he’s gonna take it, and he’s gonna like, you know, try and get the crowd hype, so everybody seems pretty like.
Excited in the name right by this all right?
What is it that you were doing? Check for traps. And then thoroughly search. Specifically looking for notes or objects of interest. So, let’s just do a quick. I’ll do a perception check for both, but I’ll consider the traps before the actual okay rummaging.
Six, six. That was your investigation. No, that was perception for traps. Oh. All right, I want you. To roll, like? Um. Let’s just say, like, you’re doing an attack roll against a guy.
It’s been so long. And you add your strength, plus your proficiency. Okay, now, all right. That’s a 15 plus 5 20. So all right, let’s see how this. Empire man does. You take the lead in this opening of the fight. All right. You inside. You don’t detect any traps.
Okay, this place does not seem to be like. It’s kind of left. In disarray, like? Not like? He didn’t clean up the place before he left. Basically, this is a lived-in hotel room. So? Okay. You may go ahead and do a. Investigation. Check to look for. Clues anything in particular that you are looking for here.
Like notes, notebook Maps. And then objects of interest that. Don’t hit the pattern of just traveling Soldier Man. All right, like messing with.
Colonize. Well, she’s less interested in colonization. But. All right. Go ahead.
Investigation peace? Seven seven. And make it this far. All right, all my good rolls. So, I mean, is this, like, the hole? Are you? Are you just searching? Where’s my net 20? Three times. Are you searching the whole room or just like a specific area without? Thorough. Let’s start with the.
Obvious spots. Okay and? Um, you can roll it however you want, but I’m thinking that Meng is probably trying to like be quick because you don’t know how much time that you have, and that is accounting for a level of like you’re trying to be thorough, but also be quick, yeah.
Um. So, the thing that you notice is that there’s a there’s a bed, there’s an end table, there’s a desk. Um, he doesn’t keep a journal. You check the end table. There’s not really anything in there. There’s a couple of his own, like little things here and there, that he would.
Yeah, keep on him. There’s like? You know changes of clothes, and he’s got armor stored away in here. Um. He. At the table. Um. You find some letters that have been written, but I have not been placed in envelopes and have not been sent. Uh, there’s a letter to Bastion.
That um? Is requesting Aid in the form of quarantine equipment, doctors, and clerics. To come to this remote Village, and there are. Distinct directions on how to get to this. She’s gonna copy down like pertinent information. All right, knows like super fast shorthand? All right. But it’s an unsent letter.
It’s written. But it’s just left here on the desk. Okay, Katie. It was a little orange thing to who. Fashion to like? Fast, you know? Like, the quartermastering or something like that? Oh, like, somebody. Not a fashion is a place fashion? Yes.
It’s their foothold. Brightnessia in Wilder, it’s way south, yeah. Place. Oh, it’s ways, isn’t it? Country, it’s in the it’s in the jungle, but the jungle was like, we’re talking like Amazon rainforest size jungle, like? So, it’s. Same jungle. Estasia region, not estas, yeah. Okay. Is there like a trunk or a bag or something?
Um, it doesn’t seem that there’s. There’s like a trunk. Um, but it is. Can I pick it? Redemption. Go ahead and roll.
So, as you’re fiddling with the lock. It’s just not quite budget. Yeah. This is a sturdy lock, and it looks like it was designed to be on purpose. Okay, okay. I got it.
Um is, can she get like a sliver? Of space. In the lid. Sliver of space, like to slip a paper in? Yeah. Okay, okay. That’s fine. Okay, she’s gonna take like one last look around the room and then get out.
All right as you’re kind of taking your one last look around the room. You? First steps. I’ve been always she’s out of there. All right. How are you like out of there back out the window? And like, if I have time to lock it locking it, I want you to make a slide of hand.
Check to see if you can lock this mechanism on this window. Um, that is not designed to be locked from the outside.
I’m not, and she’s just going to close it. And, like, wedge it a little? So it doesn’t like blow open and get out. All right. And you. I’m not going to make you re-roll to see if you climb down. You’re able to get doing easily. Um. I mean, I would have stayed at near the front to see if Richard Cole would have ever come in, but?
So, you never saw Victor Cole enter. Um, you did see, like one of his soldiers coming? I don’t know if he would. Let’s try to stop him or I would have got that. Maybe talk to us about? If you knew where to call was? That’s okay. So he, just, you know, he kind of shrugs you off.
Okay. Okay, once down. Manga’s gonna like hide the window washer get up, but leave on the shirt. All right. All right. Back to the fight. All right, let’s go ahead and roll a second. Attack roll to see how you do. I’m gonna interject here. At, like, 5, 10, I need to be out here.
Okay, all right. Okay, we’re about to wrap up speeding school speaking. Let’s go. Well, dang. 17, plus, five. Okay, you beat up. You get another second tap. And then let’s do one more. If I had to guess, yep. Uh, 13. All right 13. So, you win, you’re successfully win.
I just slap them with the side. To return your assaulted us. So much for the soap, all right. So? Makes me feel better at colonization.
To tell him bother to turn it down. So at this point now. The plane has gone off successfully. It’s coming to the end of your makeshift little Festival. How would you guys like to end it? Does anybody want to say any final words? Is Victor Colin the crowd? Make perception.
Check. And anybody else who wants perception. Did Bruno Mars 20? Yes, she did all right. Hey, he rolling natural natural 20. 14. Just because I like to participate. So? Victor Cole is not in the crowd. Several of his guards are here but not picked her call himself.
Only we had Locate object. I think that’s the next time. Well, a little too spell. I’m gonna hold the. Do you have access? Yeah, okay, all right, I don’t. I’m gonna take the sword back. I’m gonna hold it Aloft and be like, for anyone who actually wants this sword and wants to purchase it.
It can be purchased that brutal store and. And then quiet. Go over to her and quietly whisper. I’ll take only a third of the prophets. Okay, you keep the rest, and here you go. And she, like, shakes your hand. Yeah. So, there’s. One little shout, you know, lots of little cheers and claps, and like people seem pretty appreciative.
And um? Anybody else have any final words, thoughts, Glory, wrap up possession? Mang’s just gonna like? Granite, everybody. Okay. I’m gonna be like? In that case. Why not hear a few words from none other than? James, where I’m dead.
So? He, um, steps forward towards the bonfire. He’s, like, I’d like to say a few words.
And. He says.
For a long time now, I’ve been sick. And. I’ve been. A bit of a recluse. I’ve given up on myself. And. I didn’t know. During the festival. That there were these awful attacks on the city. Um. These. Kind strangers. Um. Informed me. And challenged me. Not give up on life.
And I think. That the whole city needs to hear something like that. No. The festival. Did not go as we hoped. It may not understand why? But. We don’t have to give up on this city. And what it stands for. Here here. And when you shout that everybody like, you know, I give a challenge?
Yeah. And. That. It’s where we’re gonna end tonight session. Yeah. Happy birthday! We finally had some combat. We had to manufacture it. We manufactured your combat. All right, so you have fair. I had plans for combat. I wasn’t expecting there to be. Quite as lengthy of detours. Well, hey now, you plan for next time.
Unless we just fully dodged, they’re always. Yeah, we only covered 10 of what done? That’s true, maybe about, like, 50, yeah. But we met James. Yes, very important really matters. I felt like this is like a Michael Scott, like ending clip. An episode, but we met James, and you know what?
That’s what really counts on Scranton? People, right? And you guys met Bruno. We met Bruno. You guys met two fur bobes. I rolled on my random race table. I got verbal twice. Thanks! The city is mostly populated by verbally in every every new Furbul we meet. Just gives. Like, slightly more downcast, we’re like, darn, like.
