Notes

Meng vignette flashback

  • Her friend Finnigan Peshra and her play The Xianya Dynasty chess.
  • Loxodon of Wilder play this game
  • “How’s staying with your host family? What have you learned about the nature of war?”
  • Meng: no one is right (been with host family for a while.)
  • Finnigan Peshra: “War is like this game. Play to win. You’re not bad (impressed with her playing). Something I’ve learned: In playing the game, you’re often rewarded for sacrificing the pieces, but hwen you start thinking of the pieces as people with own thoughts and motivations, there’s a lot more danger than in the game”
  • Meng: “What you’re asking me to do is treat my family like pawns, like this game.”
  • Finnigan Peshra: “I will do everything in my power to make sure your family is safe. And the reason I like the way you play the game: you don’t play like other people do… you play to keep your pieces alive… you don’t play to win”
  • Meng: ”… which is why I don’t play. ”
  • Finnigan Peshra: “Would you work with me to do the same for others?”
  • Meng: “If I play your game, I’ll never see my family again. If make misstep, they die. But in either case I’ll never see them again. ”
  • Finnigan Peshra: Meng has to make decision within a week.
  • Meng: “Will you not manipulate me within that week?”
  • Finnigan Peshra: “The people who play to win were once like you…”
  • Meng: “You think I can avoid that? Fine, if in one week I decide to become a traitor, I want to hear you plan.”

Back in the Leaky Dinghy

Day Two

In the Spellspire Archives

Generative Summary

After escaping through the sewers, they regrouped at The Leaky Dinghy, where they met scholars Keith and Julia of the Violet Sages, who sought a corpse from the attacks to study the cause of the undead uprising. The party agreed to retrieve one in exchange for knowledge of interdimensional travel.

The next morning, the group gathered two corpses and a severed head from the sewers. While Meng lifted the city’s spirits with a mourning song for the fallen, the others noted rising unrest: citizens divided between grief, denial, and anger toward the city guard. On their way to deliver the corpses to the Spellspire, they encountered a heated crowd in the market—one speaker calling for isolationism, another, a visiting human soldier named Victor Cole from the distant Terran Empire, urging unity and compassion. He revealed a similar undead outbreak had struck a remote jungle village days earlier. Octavius and M’Baku grew wary of his imperial motives, while Meng subtly planted a tracking device on him before he departed.

Finally, the group climbed the mountain to the Violet Sages’ Spellspire, where a tuxedo-cat steward led them inside to meet Keith and Julia. Preparing to petition the reclusive Luminary Montovani, they readied themselves for negotiation—offering the recovered corpses in exchange for information about the undead, the weave, and perhaps the greater mystery connecting these interdimensional events.

Nov 8 at 15-13

Very slow flat. As chaos consumed Nostasia during the festival of Stars, the heroes. Kunak, nakuchi, Octavius, and Baku. Found themselves trapped in the arena with terrifice City and citizens and divided guards. Searched for his master, the other’s calm survivors in the surveyed the burning City. Bernie, I guess it’s.

Well, the chaos. The ground soon erupted, releasing two acid spitting on kegs into the Arena. Fighting side by side for the first time. The party combined Divine magic invention, Precision, and brute strength to slave the beasts, burning a hard one victory, and one another’s trust. The Buck is Master shujin of the disgraced gin clamp, arrived to release him from bondage a moment unexpect of unexpected freedom that resounded through the arena and the lion Warriors triumphant Roar.

Seeking Escape. The group convinced Brighton guards to let them into the Arenas under Works. Pride open a sewage great and ascended into the city’s dark underbelly. There a mid distension flickering torch light. They battle them dead remnants because of the festival’s hard realizing as Daija’s nightmare stretched hard deeper than the streets above.

We made it to. Yes, it totally missed that last part. The leaky ding it, you forget to leave, potentially Mang, was purchasing beverages for all of us, and it’s pretty spins while. I, D, I filled in the Violet, sages, Keith, and. I’m getting Julia. I was close. I was kidding.

Jennifer. Jeff on her. On all of those details.

So? It’s pretty good, pretty good. Reeve cap, a good reef cap guys.

To start our session.

Actually going to be. Flash and back. Um, to a. Previous. Previous on it? For one of our characters. All right, so why are you looking at me? So?

You are? Yeah, meeting up with. Um. Within. This is. After you’ve stayed with your host family? Um. She’s invited you! To play. A game of?

As you guys talk?

So? She makes her move. They’re like little tiles. With Symbols on them. If she moves, okay? You know? Some college game elephants chess. Because. Dynasties of old on this exclusively played. This game.

Not one for small talk. Are you? Not when it’s clear you have a purpose. So? Positive and staying with your host family.

Revealing.

I don’t like the position you put me.

But if you learned about the nature of war.

No one is right.

Are you gonna move the piece? Actually, speaking of which intelligence. Intelligence. Sorry, my brain is entirely on pizza right now.

Eleven eleven. So? Most people. Now, of where I’ve played. At some point. Um, you know, the moves of the pieces? Um. You can tell that. Thin is. 12 verse in this strategy of this game. So you’re holding around? Okay. I can accept that, but? Definitely, you’re you’re having to fight for it a little bit, so?

So, after you move your piece? She says. You know? Four is kind of like this game. My sense.

And sacrifice pieces in the process.

As soon as the case. Takes another one of yours. Um. You’re not a bad player. Or someone passing. Play this often as I have.

Just another piece.

  1. You take one of her pieces and she actually is like? Impressed. Um.

It’s more difficult to play the game when you make everyone seem like a king and queen.

We’ve got the players.

We could step away from the game anytime. Maybe, but waitressed anything on that?

Not yet.

Something I’ve learned in my time. Close the piece. Nothing too risky! Um. Is that?

Complaining the game. You’re often rewarded for sacrificing these days.

So, when you start to think of the pieces as people? Pieces on the board. Each with their own thoughts, their own motivations.

It’s a lot more danger in the real thing than there is, and just to slow the game.

What you’re asking me to do is treat my family like the Palms. Put them on the front lines.

I will do everything in my power. To make sure that your family is safe.

And.

The reason. I like the way that she played the game.

Is because. You don’t play. Like other people do.

Play to keep your pieces alive. You’re not playing away.

Which is why I usually don’t play.

Would you be willing? To work with me. To do the same for others.

I’m just your family. Brothers.

If I play your game, I’ve never seen my family again.

Diplomatic. I can’t go back.

Either of us makes a single misst up, they die. If we don’t, I don’t get to see them. I lose either way.

That’s why I leave Choice. She makes this. Falling intelligence check real quick! This is that to move a piece just to understand her move 10.

Her move didn’t like pitch you in any, like, threatening position like. This wasn’t, like, any kind of a. This wasn’t defending her or threatening you. Do I see a movie she could have made those things?

Where in the timeline is this?

Okay, thanks to choose the answer. I’m trying to figure out if. How long I’ve been with a host family?

How long do I have?

What is a weak feel?

You want. Manipulate me in that week. If it helps, that would be around. Okay.

Can we agree that this is before that Midway through the time period? Thing happens.

So?

My. This advice piece of warning is.

Don’t.

I like something to be. Don’t want you to play to win?

I don’t want that to change about you, but I hope that I’ll say you’re able to see that at one point the people who do play to win. Once, we’re like you.

You can leave. I can come out of this without needing that.

I think you can. Where else would I warn you? I didn’t think she had a chance. 16.

In a week. If I decide to become a traitor, I want to hear your plane.

So? You end up winning the game? So, that’s satisfying.

So, now we are going to. You have to change. I’m using. What I’m just looking at your your notes?

What’s the name of the person she was playing chess with? Right, I guess two end?

It’s pH. I am. All right. Back. Now in? Why do you let us name stuff, um, drinks, in hand? You guys are seated at the bar on a very crowded licking. Probably the crowdst crowdiest. I’m crowded. The leaka dinghy has ever been. Um, I like crowdiest actually. And. We’re gonna pick up right where we left off with Keith.

Sitting down with you and asking?

Anything that you’re willing to share. Tell us what you know from? The events of today. Okay, so? There I were. On the docks, just got off boat and all of a sudden zombies, right, crowds, zombies. Folks start coming! We’re running the telescope to the stadium. Punching a zombie’s head off, right?

Okay. Go two, we follow guards. They, they usher us to the stadium. Big, bug-like creatures start spitting Venom. Um. We save. Certain. People. After they, well, really. He saved certain people because he’s the only one who can really do that. And and? We punched and hit things.

Just the bugs. Specific.

Bang hands you the fullest tankard.

The way you open it. It took me back to Parks and Rec, the guy from Venezuela. He’s like straight to jail. Good time, you’re like?

We. With. Let go from the arena after all the chaos. Unfortunately, the. Something had blocked the door, and so we had to go. Everyone had to go through the sewers, and in order to get there, we also passed more zombies, right? At least. Zombies I, I think I am.

Being corrected and? They were wearing Nobles clothes. I think that may or may not be important. We exited the sewers. Nearby, and then came here to. Rendezvous. With. Clerics of some sort. Brings us to today. By the way. Do you know anything about interdimensional travel, perhaps?

You or one of your friends?

Oh, jump the box. Going with Advantage? Oh, okay, so that’s gonna be.

And your conventional travel. I mean, we know. Some broodometer stuff about portals, especially. The 160 years ago?

Is that? Relevant to? Zombies not at all. Just just curious, I like to ask that question kind of like an icebreaker.

Nope, okay, okay, just fully sideways at this point. I want to go back. Circle back to. I have a couple follow-up questions. It could be so kind. Anyone else is welcome to answer as well. You all were present as well, right? About person at the table. Yeah, this is it.

The bar, y’all are all kind of like around, okay? He might be distracted, but? Yeah, the priest buddies here, too. I like. Within the conversation, not like? If they are, if you guys want them to be, but if you kind of on like on the outer, I’m kind of like conversing with them just a little bit about.

You’re kind of like in between two circles. Yeah, catching up with. What happened with that? So, if they know anything. All right. I wanted to ask when the zombies. First attack. Festival, where they also were a Nobles closed.

Did I notice that? Um. This happened all today. Won’t make you guys real history checks, um? We’re the ones at the parade. Aaron Nobles close.

So, huh? You said no? But they look like they had been buried, like their grave clothes. I wasn’t just like random people suddenly went. That what? Do that again. Definitely like people were in there, like. Like funeral best? And our best wasn’t royalty. The ones that stumbled over the barricades were.

Wearing grade flows. As I understand how you vary dead here, but? So they. From the city. How did they? What’s there we go? Karaoke and the lady. The barge drummed up the team, the Cancure gold wild. Um. How do you guys did y’all? See where they came from. Stumbled over the barricades into the center of the.

And we were roughly. Do you have any idea where we were? I don’t know. I would know the locations. So, I guess that would name an ostrich. Okay, okay, yeah, rename the cross streets. The center 35th and 2K, yeah. Would there be in places? Nearby, where if people are wearing grapes those?

That people might have been. Barely in the city with? We were gonna go find a guy comes? Well, the closest graveyard to that location is filling the blank. As the local. Looks like I’m the only local one here. It’s a very admiral name. Fill in the blood. It’s a weird cemetery name.

But also well. If by blinks, I mean. Okay, yeah. Good writing. All of this down. You bet, I am. Now!

I’m sorry, but do you know what’s going on? No, we’re trying to find out that’s why we were asking questions we’ve been willing to speak with this. Meanwhile in the background. What’s going on? Was that you? Yeah. That’s just the game, too. That was whistling earlier.

So?

What could even cause something like this to happen? I mean. Yeah, sure, like this. And you would actually know more probably than they. Would they are saying this? This is DM saying to you, like, you have college now? Willing to share? Well. Doesn’t necessarily know about.

We know a Souls work.

And someone could have been. Performing rights. Call Spirits back.

Something went terribly wrong with your tools, in which case. It’s going to take. Quite a bit.

So?

At this point, enjoy the Kinky. She can like interjects herself. And the thing about Kinka’s is the Kenneth speak for themselves. They can only mimic things that they have heard at other points in time. Um. So? Julia speaks. In. Very wisdom to voice. Um of the man. Oh, and.

I’m a forensic analyst. And. Where’s the cadaver? And that’s when Keith interjects, and he’s like. Julie and I? Would like? If possible. Um. To acquire. One of these zombie creatures. Possible to try and? If we can find any evidence of something that? Cause this.

Um. We’ve asked town guards and most. Bodies during the attacks have all been burned. So they were four. We just left him there. Assuming they didn’t get up. Crawl off again. Well, I took one of their heads off. Overhead actually might be valuable for us to have. Did you bring it with you?

Find one that’s the most intact. I didn’t like getting my closet already.

It was hard to see down there too, though. For you, maybe? I’m still working on that.

Does everyone else have dark vision? Oh man. And cat. Yeah, never know. I don’t mean to be rude. But if you’re suggesting returning to the, I think that maybe a bad idea? Since we are all very tired, is there urgency in this or kind of weight?

The likelihood? Those bodies. You can touched. I think or low now. It did see rats. Um. If these are? Old corpses that have been buried? I don’t know that even the rats. Would touch them. Um.

Pretty well of decomposed. At this point. Before, there’s rapid. Um. There’s one of West on it and. Able to acquire? One of the corpses and? Bring it to. Spell Spar. We could. Maybe in exchange? Um. Share some research and knowledge and conditional travel. I said, we do it first thing in the morning.

Can I come along? Do you have a census?

Um. Yes. Is this having anything to do with I just want to know if I want to come along to the to the spellspire?

Okay. Gentle erasing. Although it could help if we can identify the dead. Because if they’re all related, maybe it’s a family member? This is an interesting too.

So? I mean, I don’t know a lot about dead people. Fixing things, building things, crafting thing. Yes. Dead people, not so much, reanimating. What are the chances? Creatures get back up! Hello, they already did it once. And then now spread all over the city so. Actually. Reanimating all of them.

Barring spontaneous soils returning to their bodies, which is not something I’ve seen.

Seems most likely that someone went to a graveyard or multiple graveyards and perform some. Rights there. Is there any way to trace the magic? I have no idea.

But why would somebody want to animate? Dead people. Cuz I’m assuming someone or a group of people. Acting in bad faith? Based on the behavior. It was likely a government organization you see fear. Is what the government, the people in power used to control. I’ve heard this before, right?

Interdimensional travel, right? See that is a separate but related issue. And you might want to tone down the crazy talk if you actually want your answers. What are you drinking over there anyway? It’s like. Constitution. Check.

That’s okay. I mean, you get to decide. Speaking of you, there’s one beer, uh, minimally minerals. Okay, this, this is, or Greg, like personality. Talking minutes later, you’re Rock Lee and drunken Fist mode brawling throughout. You don’t have to roll at Constitution, check or anything, then you’re good.

Okay. So? So, we’re deciding to wait. Two morning till morning. Thanks! So now when you do arrive. Just call for it. Teeth. That’s me. And. We’ll come. Get you um?

We’ll probably need you guys to come speak. Before the luminary. Um. To help us get this research approved. Since you guys would be the ones acquiring the corpse? Wooden Baku know what the Luminarian is? Sounds like the same question. Um, everybody role history checks. If you are not someone who is local to estasia, all that disadvantage.

Oh, it’s saying, okay, can I technically local since I’ve been here for a little while she roll? Straight roll. Shoot. That was a history. That was the one that was supposed to do well in the world. That’s a five. 14. Although my second one was a 17. Okay, this is wild after having like plus 18 with, um.

Yannick to History checks plus 18 plus 18. It was ridiculous, it was, excuse me, there was nothing this man didn’t know, yeah. But his identity was students working on it.

One, I think, because I’m taking my skill, total modifier advice. Whatever I rolled. So, I’m still new at this guys. If you’re rolling a history, check what’s your role nine okay on your intelligence? There’s a history. Do you have proficiency in history? Okay, then just your intelligence. Okay, so, okay, so?

No, they’re not really sure. What a luminary is, you have heard that. Um, like, just in your time, briefly in town. Um. Luminary is the head of the stages of spell spot. And we wouldn’t know what the Spellspire is. Oh yeah. It’s, I don’t know. Tall Tower on top of the mountain.

Um, not the same one as like the statue. Um. Separate mountain peak. It’s not his Mountain Peak. Oh, no. But still considered part of estasia. Yeah, well, yeah. Should we look at the stars on that? Yes, still fine. Actually, the esthesium app would be a good way to see, like?

Um. Because we are so near to the mountain range right here, kind of sandwiched between mountains and coast. This is. Mount Port can we get a URL here? Um, what am I looking? So that’s like th - Finds she is a general. Meng didn’t know that.e big right there that he’s got his cursor on, and they’re at the very tip is where the statue is.

Okay, yep, X marks and then up northward. There’s another slightly smaller mountain right there, and that’s the Violet stages of spell spy right there on that. This is, you guys are actually, um. Unlike the southern Harbor section down here, like dangosty is huge, Pasta is ginormous. So about here, you said, nice.

Okay. A little bit further to the east over there. Because normally that luxury district is where the festival happens. Okay, it’s not, not no. But guess what, we’re picturing, okay, right? Basically, Rio, what is the, uh, the statue that you actually? So the statue is, um? The totally like?

No, it’s, uh. Person who’s like? Like hand out stretch and is like clutching and his fingers right here, like a little star. And he’s like looking out over the ocean humanoid, well. But yeah, it’s just a humanoid. Generally human. Yeah. Okay. They didn’t pick any specific. Animal race or anything like that because they didn’t want to like?

You know, like the mascot and Community? I guess. So, did you ever watch it? I haven’t watched, so I’m just not having my head in agreement. You kind of sort of watched a little bit. I’ve watched remember the mascot, cuz I binged it while I lived in your apartment being.

That was her mascot. Yes. Bye to the buttholes. Remember that? Yep, I do remember the butthole flying.

New Cana Nostasian flag? Um. So, yeah, it’s like a, so we have to cross the whole city pretty much. A little bit. Yeah, let’s take a bit of a track. With the courts. Yeah, we need the corpse card. You need to bring out your dad. Um. Keith or Juliet?

Do you have or know any way for us to get a car to put the body in and keep it? Not in public. We are, but humble sages. We wouldn’t have anything like that, um, you could, maybe just? Dang it! I’m sure, if you ask about, you could learn someone who’d be willing to lend one, especially with.

The current state of Affairs in the city. It’s the barcade currently an occupied. Um, I mean, he’s been mixing up some drinks for the people. Who were, you know, like, need a shot? So he’s been kind of busy, but like, time to, like, you know? You’ve got his attention.

He would like to find out what you need son. We need to. Carry some goods from the harbor area. Um and need? Some kind of card or something. Good, a little bit too unwieldy for us to carry. You know anywhere that we could get something like that? I’ll lend you one of our old cards out back.

If you give me say. Two copper bits. Of course and! I’ll give you the copper bits back once you return the car if it’s inmate condition. Is this Aldi understood? Yeah, kind. Um. He’s going to open grocery cover. He’s going to say one moment, and he’s gonna like Shuffle over to the the rest of the.

The clerics. And they’re gonna huddle, and he’s gonna pull out the coin purse. Is anyone listening? Sure, I would be dear enough to try. Yeah, we’re collected clothes. You’re here, you just hear, like?

But I don’t know I have. Is that copper? Oh, oh, oh, and okay, and he, he’s he’ll go over and of the little like soccer. I always imagining you like when you opened the bag. Your your coin. First, it’s just.

It’ll come back over here, and like, start. Cuz they don’t have any. Copper in there clampers. So it was like untying some of these copper coins that are like? From his thing. Three these these?

When you’re giving it back? We’ll need it in the morning, and probably by the end. Ah, we have to go across the city and back, but? That’s fine. As long as I got it to taupe, some trash tonight that we’re good. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Okay. So, all right, any other questions or final things before we get our long rest? Where we staying the night?

What right I thought we got? Did we already purchased okay? Can mango borrow a pen or pencil from the the bartender? And like a scrap of paper. Yeah, we’re just gonna doodle like what each coin looks like, and just like sneak it into his pocket. Oh, I give a different kind of coins.

So, all right, cool. Good night guys. Make it in, oh, slide of hand. Go for it. And. We’ll just go against your passive perception, yeah, 18. I think I believe that, uh, beats it. Yep. So, no problem. You make a little cheat, see, like, roll it up. Stick it there in this little pouch or something.

All right. Whenever you want to discover that is up to you, it won’t be for a while. He has a lot of.

So, we’ll go ahead and say everybody gets there long. Pit Points back up. Oh yeah, oh, I didn’t take any damage. Never mind very important. For many punch, many punch. Very run, big jump. I like how? Very important. Don’t forget the big jump. You like how, what I like, how your accent, when all over the place?

Yeah, that story. It’s great. I’m not really trying to say, I love it. Pizza, please. We also have dessert for some so I can take some. Yeah, do you want a plate sure? Do you want pepperoni or cheese? I’ll take whatever warm. Yeah, it’s currently room temperature. Room temperature Pizza is fine with me.

And we have dessert for whenever we hit the Midway point or whenever we want. We also have beer downstairs, so if anybody, yeah, that’s a good time to grab you pass on beer. Thank you though! So, we’re doing like a quick pause here. I want to do the caffeine, okay?

Three two, one click.

We wake up. The second day. The festival of star.

Is there anything that you guys would like to do today? Color spell Spire. And maybe help those guys find a body to take as well there.

You got wake up and? Man, I had the weirdest dream. So it’s dead people. What, where am I? I wake up in the bed next time. Good morning. Are, are you ready to retrieve? I like the course. Grab my step!

Stunning strike!

Wait, wait, no, I would have had to share some ruins. There’s a lady thingy. You know? It’s not the most. Large establishment, not the most sought after establishment. When it comes to sleeping. Um. So, there was probably some sharing the rooms. Um. From a pile of cloaks in the corner, hang.

Good morning. The bike was still sleep. Yeah, we definitely put YouTube in the same. I’ll probably be messing with my crossbow lyrics crossbow. I’m trying to make more modifications to it.

And then. Let’s see. I can do one every day right there so daily. Anytime you have a long rest, or they can swap them out. What time is everyone waking up? Early, roughly. Relative to Sunrise. I would say with the sun. Yeah. From my character. Hey, this is his first day of freedom.

He, he was fighting a big many fights yesterday. He’s out. Yeah, mine’s probably up like half an hour before the alarm goes off, just yelling at you. Intrude cat fashion? So, I think the clearance will go out and just do sunrise prayers. Okay. Mag would definitely spy on that.

It’s dangerous to let her play. Yes, you did this. I’m messing with my goggles. All right. Yeah, I think I know, I, I think I see what’s happening here. Yeah. Oh, in the same room. Probably not. She was spying on this one, right? Where’s the window? Is our window overlook before?

It’s just on the roof. Amcat.

That’s fine. Morning, the auditation. I’m sharpening my sword for no reason. It’s not like you use it. But he knows how to sharpening Authority. This sword very sharp. I need to sell this later. If you keep doing that every day until level 10, it’ll become borebal.

Everyone’s home. I look up and have these Greek gods on my eyes. Look ginormous. All right. So, what would you guys like to do first with today? Go find that body for the Spellspire people. Can we find them? Are they still here? No, they left. They went back to.

Once he’s clearly done with prayer. It took the VA train. We’ll find him be like, can we go get that card? Yeah. Let’s go! Okay, the others. And she’ll run around and like wake people up.

We’re gonna go collect dead people.

We’re going to need you to help pull the card. Because, yeah, you’re big. Strong, so let’s go. The living is childhood. Oh no, we didn’t go into his room and childhood. As I Was that before? Guys playing a baritone? At six in the morning. Yeah. I’m not kidding. Oh, no, that wasn’t euphemism the actual baritone?

I’m probably going through all of my pockets and my. A big. Making sure I count. This thing individually. Come on, do you guys have breakfast at the link before you head out all right, it’s? Porridge. That’s, like, very watered to down lots of water. You could probably like if you wanted to, like, tip your bowl, and like, pour some water out.

Maybe you could probably get away with that to make a little salvage roll? I’m gonna pour some water in it. And then mix it up. Plug my nose. Down at, like, one big shake. Yeah, all right. I’m gonna lean over to Mang. Be like, are you gonna finish that?

Low standards on food. As the eighth child. You’re lucky you’ve got any? Don’t know that part of my backstartavius? Oh. It was obvious. Um.

He is the big, strong, dude, yeah, and. I would probably try to lead. Right to where we went. Into the sewer or out of sewers are the priesthood Boys coming with us. Right. What was your question? Dude, I was gonna say, um. And if possible.

Like a tarp one or something like that. It’s also got hit that speed. It’s my second time today. So, yeah, really working on that porch back. We’re trying to get through. You know, I don’t think we’re supposed to be in this sewers. But they can be arranged and have a like a blanket or something.

Um, I think I’d probably just take one from.

As you guys are going through the streets, day two of Festival of stars is supposed to be like more celebration. Like, there’s more festivities. There’s supposed to take place. Um. I want everybody to roll. Um, perception or insight checks. Your choice. Perception. Inside. Our Insight that is.

Is that in that point that 20 inside 18? 15 perception. 12, 26, nothing, bruh. We are reading the broom. So, you’re basically just dating.

All right. So, what were other people’s numbers 15 perception? 13 reception. We’re inside. Insight. Okay. 18, perception 18, perception 12, insight 12, insight that’s pretty good. So, for our perception people. Um, I’ll start with you guys. You guys were all pretty high, so you’re going to notice that, like, throughout the streets.

Like, most of this stuff is kind of been cleaned up, but you can still see traces of things that have. Transpared since yesterday. Um, not just what happened yesterday, but like. It seems that whatever’s happening. In the streets. Is it too creepy? No, no, you’re good. Yeah. Um, anticipating whatever is happening in the streets like?

There’s been more you’re able to piece together of, like the stuff that’s been left out. Not all of this is from the attacks. Yesterday from like the zombies. Like? This seems a little bit more far-reaching and chaotic, and that it’s still been left out. Shows that, like, there hasn’t been much of anybody to like.

Come through and clean a lot of this up. So whatever the guards are doing, they’re not. Tending to the streets right now. Nobody’s related to the streets right now. Um.

Insight folks. You guys pick up on some, like? The Vibes. Are not good. Bobs are not good. People are. Trying to figure out, like, do the festivities go on? Do we keep celebrating or do we stopped? This was the first day of a week-long Festival. That is like an annual thing that everybody looks forward to.

Would it be wrong to keep going? Um. So you see lots of people like? Some people still like hanging declarations, but like. Maybe doing so kind of like hoping that nobody notices and then like going back inside like? Um. People on the streets. You get various different Vibes for people of whether they’re like.

Yes, interested in continuing or no, not continuing. You with your natural 20?

Talk around town. You’re starting to pick up on like different. Groups and mentalities on what happened yesterday. There are those who are so traumatized by this.

Method is to just shut it out. They don’t talk about it. Um. There are people who. Like in Greece. Or in morning. Are taking decorations down, or like? Um. Being very quiet, thoughtful, like leaving out candles. Um, there are those that. Um. In some conversations, you’re getting whisperings of like people who are angry.

Angry if it’s happened. Angry that it’s robbed the city of this Festival, angry at how the guards responded. Like, what do you mean they were executing people in the streets. Yesterday, you watch that happen, like those kind of conversations, so. And everybody’s kind of speaking in hush tones, because not everybody is on the same page about what happened yesterday.

Um. So? The town feels very like. Divisive and on edge right now. Are there any like musical instruments playing around? Like, it would have been dropped or something I can use as a drum. Anyone have a musical instrument? Wait, why? No, I don’t think I do. I have a sword.

And a shield. Oh, can I borrow your shield?

She’s gonna like, sit down. And. Do a little drum beat and sing. Is there like a morning song that people would recognize? Like a lament. Um, I mean, there’s some that you would know whether or not it would be recognized here. Is another thing she’s just going to pick the most popular, the one she knows.

So, okay, go ahead and roll, um. History. Oh, quick.

And you’re doing this, like as you guys walk. Are you just going to sit down and do it real quick? Yeah.

So? Um. And if you guys want us to stick around, are y’all? Stopping. I’m like letting this happen. How are y’all gonna? We’re all together. So? All right. So, as you stop and your perform this song, it could be in the car. Yeah, the dead people born in it yet.

I didn’t have you role performance because. It’s not about how good or bad you are performing the song. It’s about, like, whether you can choose the right song. That’s gonna speak to. What’s happened? Um. And you feel like you’ve done your best? Um. As you start to be, you start to sing.

Like, Head Start to turn. Um.

The first is just you sign in. Um. Somebody walking down the street, a hop problem, catches your tune. Crosses the street actually, and like places that hand on your shoulder. And just like nods to you as you perform, like makes it slight eye contact and then, like, head down, keeps walking down the street.

Um. Eventually, a couple people here in this little neighborhood. You know, some people do stand.

You’re on this little street corner! It’s kind of eased a little bit of that tension.

Good selection. Thanks!

And nobody like you. After you’re finished, there are a couple people who come, and just like, you know, thank you for doing that. If you’re really appreciate that? Like, we knew, like so-and-sided down the street, like their son was at the festival and saw it happened. So, like? They just really appreciate you like doing that.

And a lot of people acknowledge, like you’re clearly an outsider. Appreciate you doing anyway. So?

Keep time when he doesn’t make a song.

Octavius is unsure about drawing that much attention to us.

If they’re other, like high tension areas, you’d probably do that. Like it would be okay. Now! All right, that’s gonna be interesting. So? We’re going to go into the series, then you guys. Are still able to kind of break away from the crowds to like. Slip into. Are you going into, like the same?

Manhole. Cover that you guys exited from as long as it looks like we can get in there without. Throwing much attention. It’s early enough. Now, you won’t be able to take the cart down. Yeah, so are y’all leaving the cart nearby, someone’s staying with the cart, or what are there any other entrances that we could get the car in, or kind of hide it by?

I’ll look around. I mean, there’s. Manholes. Along this street here.

We know we can get into this hole. I think it otherwise to explore new places. We haven’t been. Just getting the body up and out and into the car could be. Should we have one person hang back? I’m not going to be useful for carrying bodies. Here’s rope. Oh yeah, thank you.

So, just like, put on little concert in the cart while she waits for you. Guys, there you go. Because around the car, I’ll go up to like the street corner instead of like right above the manhole. Okay, can we? Can we find like an alley way to kind of push the car into?

You can find an alleyway around here somewhere. Yeah, if you wanted to do it in an hour. At least I get it off the main street or something. Are you still gonna stick around that? Yeah, I would stay with the card, I’m saying, because I’m not going to be useful and carrying bodies.

Okay, so you’re not over the manhole. You’re, I would move down somewhere on the street corner. And if tucked to their curtain and alley, but you’re sitting like out on actual corner. I’m doing a little bit sure. Yeah, all right, as long as I can see the manhole cover in the car.

Yeah, okay, we can. We can arrange that. So, Team Stuart. Um. You guys climb down the way that you came earlier. Um, yesterday. I’m gonna put my goggles down. And that allows me to see the doctors. Do you want to explain how they work? Do you have an idea how they work or?

Or even just like what they look like for you looking through. So, when I pull it down, then I can. I guess I, I like, pull them out and. Pop out a little bit. Both, so they’re slightly telescoping. And.

You know what? Sorry. How they work.

There’s. A couple prisms inside. That highlight any kind of light in here. Don’t allow me to speak. That’s cool. So yeah, it’s like collecting more light it in sweet, awesome. Does it appear like outlines like you see more of the rims of things rather than? Uh, explain your entire system.

You put a quarter in it. Uh. Is all. So bounce there.

It doesn’t give me color, but it does. You like grayscale things? All right. Yeah, and effectively gives you like dark vision down here. And everybody else has you don’t have dark vision. So? How are you making dude down here? One hand on the person in front of me. Hopefully him.

Follow the jingle Jazz. Yeah, following the jingle jingles and I just I, I whisper to dude. I cannot think I wish we were to kunek. Point me in the direction of a dead body and throne. Oh, you had the who had the like Rockland, oh, like? Yeah, I guess I could probably do that for you.

I, I pick up another rock. Now, pull out my lightning bug paste. Rub it on the Rock. And I hand it. Okay, it is a rock.

Not something else she might find in this year. Oh.

Thank you very much. Those were fun Cosmics to roll. Yes. Uh, love. You see how much light it gives you. I think it’s like 10 feet, or is it five or ten? Five bright ten.

Oh. I’m almost there. Okay. Uh, bright light in a five foot radius and dim light for an additional fight. Perfect!

Yeah. You haven’t met Loki. You don’t live next to Breeders. Oh yeah, it’s less the barking. It’s more the running out in front of the FedEx truck. Oh yeah, yeah, she looks really aggressive when she runs at you when you’re on foot, she’s like, super friendly, but? She’s not trained.

Yeah, that’s not good.

Yeah, with your little peepers, so I can definitely could have used this last today. I can see five to ten. If you still want to hold on to community, I will all right. So, you guys, it’s not like far to where you guys were the previous day. And sure enough, get there.

The whoops. The bodies are still there. And still. It’s hard to say that they were ever intact. Well, effort. Can I look at? Garb, is it all four have the same garb?

But just, you know, nice burial clothes that somebody would be. Buried in, so necessarily, any kind of. But not like anything like? Or status. I mean, they’re nice enough clothes, but they’re not like. Mobility or anything like that?

Now, there is the one that’s had was cut off. Um. But the other three seem to be mostly. How many can we fit in the court? How big is the court? How many can you carry two of the carto?

Why are we doing this again? Information. It’s very valuable. Don’t you want to know where these came from? I feel like we’re making the assumption. Those guys at the the Violet stages are going to tell us things.

To fair assumption. Can we trust the violence? That depends. Are they a government organization? Non-government organization. That’s better kind of.

Now, we get into the into the nitty-gritty. I’m not around here. So, we’re gonna who funds them. Fundraised by themselves and stuff like, kind of and? Like, we sell cookies people. Well, like they asked for donations for people like to, and people will donate to the biot stages like there are some who are, like all, about the Violet stages because.

That’s what they do is like Alexa can gather knowledge and they perform research and experiments. And like? Further develop more knowledge. And record it all down. They would have. Positive. Latitude from the community some? Now, the community itself. Um, there’s a lot of locals here in astasia that are not too keen on the Violet stages that spell Spire because of the two mountain peaks.

One of them is like this special Monument to the city itself, and then these violet sages who are here to do their scholarly research have claimed one of the other mountain tops for their Tower. So, some people like that rubs them in the wrong way. And there’s some people that also don’t like that, like?

The reason they’re called the Violet stages of spellsfire is that they are like one of their primary areas of research. Is? The weave where magic comes from, like Arcane magic. And most people and estas. Or it, welder in general or not. Like the most key on? Parking magic? You know?

It could be much better. Thanks for research for looking to the. Cuz the weave. The weave is like. Kind of categorize. It’s not a place, it’s just that system of magic. Some entity. It’s like the the material that people draw from in order to create. Magic. Arcane magic, specifically.

Does not apply to like clerics. It doesn’t apply to Druids. They’re magic comes from other places. Regardless, I think it’s worth the effort. To at least try to see what kind of information we can get from that. And maybe some other things and maybe other things, right?

Let it be noted that I wish Mang were here. So? Are you guys gonna grab all four bodies? How many do we think will fit in the card? I mean, they’d be stuck pretty high if it took off for us. Maybe two? I’ll go for two, two best preserved.

Unless one looks like, particularly. Interest. So, roll it quick. If y’all want to do like a group investigation, check Bobby. Investigation, David, I’ll give you advantage. Mr corpse man. Yeah, what you’re talking? Thank you. One, two, he said. Investigation, I am.

Investigation 3020. 30, 20. All right, so? You guys are like, probably not the headless one, um? I suggest bringing along just the head. Honestly, we could do that. Honestly, if you wanted to add that to two plus ahead, Keith did request the head specifically. I really want to copy that.

So, you guys. You pick the ones that like? You know, least damaged in combat? And you kind of like, compromise. You pick one that’s like the least damaged in combat, and then you pick another one, which was like the least decomposed, so that way you’ve got like two options, and then you take the.

So? And as they’re doing that. Connectors like? Working with them and like turning them over and stuff like he’s not seem averse to this. At all. Nope, he’s just kind of like. Checking opening the mouth like? Making sure the eyeballs in place that kind of stuff, just like. Gets them all kind of situated.

This one had spinach for that.

So y’all, get your bodies. And who’s carrying somebody? Both. It’s not men.

Just ahead just ahead. I have 10 strengths foot, like to balance myself out. I’ll take both of them. Shoulders. Yeah.

Looks at the trainer to see if that’s physically possible. It’s a lion. Humanoid. Show me your opposable thumbs. What is your strike number?

What is that? You don’t have to share it, but it’s also not. Can I hurt to share it? It’s stats, oh, you can. Can just say strong.

Some mine’s double that I was there. You’ll have to do a little bit of like. Um, I’ll have just you make kind of a like. Athletics or acrobatics. Check to get the bodies up the manhole ladder out the cover. Okay, um, you’ll have to go like one at a time.

Okay, you can use. I can, alternatively, we have rope. But I’ll, I’ll do it. I will, I’ll say. We’ll try that on the first. First passive. And before he comes up, mine’s going to move the cart to like, cover the manhole, yeah. But like. Yeah, well, you’ve been keeping an eye.

And as soon as like, there’s some like. Yeah, people peeking out. Oh yeah.

Yeah, you just.

About to turn off the test. So bright out there. Did someone says? Just.

So, where’s your hmm?

Yeah, so. You get up the ladder, just fine. He’s a little sore from yesterday. Yeah, yeah, and then doing the same for the second Winery, all trying to do some, like road, trick stuff.

But if it worked at worked?

So, maybe kunak? And I can try to carry it up there.

You can either both the guy. Athletics check or one of these rope Advantage.

Athletics is not my best thing. I can also help try and pull up. I’m not bad.

It goes like, really swivel around. Yeah, fun. 17. All right. Yep, I’m kind of like. Oh. Mang’s just gonna be holding the little like, cover up, have your track. I was gonna. You’re hauling the rope up. I’m just imagining the rope going through one armhole into the other, and you just.

So, I’m just floating down the river with the body on, yeah. That’s not a river.

So, you guys are able to get the bodies up and as you get them into the cart. You’re covering up. Make sure that, yeah, nobody’s. Like, really. Yep. Nothing too crazy! Um.

So?

Yeah, problems. It’s any wondering how it’s around? None that I did, in fact, myself.

Jeeze what they’re singing. Maybe we should keep on the DL for now?

How bad is this stench? Sorry, like, is it maybe we should keep concerned about drawing attention? Because of the smells. Um, like the body, yeah? Uh, are they decomposed beyond the point of it’s metaphorical rotting? I mean, they’re kind of. They’re not like rotting, like, these are. Corpses. It’s like.

It’s definitely graveyard smell! Mixed with a little bit of silver smell now, but other than that. Okay.

I’m gonna.

I’m gonna find. Um. I’m going to plug like a flower from somebody’s. Unbeknownst Garden. And kind of rub it along the cart. And try. Give it an improved ceramic. I hope you pick the right flower through some magical tinkering. Yeah, so.

Little Febreze dispenser, like wall. Yeah, it works for up to 10 feet. Okay, there you go other man’s Traffords, another matters. I don’t know what some kind of. Sorry, let’s bring it. Oh. Anyway. Um, I’m going to take a quick timeout to use the restroom before we get to.

Is it dessert time?

Great two, one!

The transcripts are also alive, so you can text search. Can anybody text search? Yes, yeah, it’s public. It’s a website all right. So? As you guys go back up to the main street? It’s not difficult to see where you’re supposed to go to get to the Bible stages of spellspire because you can see on top of the mountain, a large Tower.

Stone Tower. That is, has some, of course, violet banners. Like hanging around it and stuff. Um, as you guys are walking through the street. From you’re coming up now! Towards kind of a like larger Market Square larger even than the ones that main sing in earlier. You see, a crowd has gathered here.

And standing on top of one of the. Like Merchant carts. That has been abandoned is? Just a rabbit folk wearing like Commerce closed, and like people gathered around listening. Um. As you guys are walking by, you can hear this speech.

And he’s saying. Do you think this is what the founders would have wanted? You think this is what the festival of Stars is for? If you want to hear my personal opinion on the events of yesterday, the tragic events that happened on the first day of the Festival of Stars, I think.

Huh? Sorry, giant tractor in Border house. Oh yeah, I threw the fact. You just experience what it’s like to have a top. Particularly avoids out.

All right, there’s like. I think that this is the way that the founders are trying to punish us. This great city was founded in the festival of stars. When the first people came and settled here. And what if we turned the festival into? A day for visitors to come.

A day for parades and celebration. Do we even really understand? What this was for? And he’s like giving this big speech like people. Some people are like riled up, like in agreement. Or some others that are kind of like whispering in the back.

Whether you guys up to listening? Oh, the Founders. I like, quietly try and well, not quietly, but like, sneak away, trying to be like, yeah, we should rise up. Other guards around listening.

This is in the Spire, or like on the way to the spot on the way Market. Area right now.

Nothing. What’s going on? Oh. More people just want attention. We should keep going. I’m very happy. Yes. I don’t know what he wants. Don’t you live here? I just do my own thing.

Okay, so. It’s kind of hard to like weasel your way through this crowd, like as it’s starting to form.

So, you hear somebody in the crowd shout back, like as yellow walking through, like? The way you say that we do? And he says. He said, if we want to make amends. For how the gods are punishing us in this Festival of stars this year said. I think that we need to go back to the way that things were the way that Founders intended it to be that this city is for us, the citizens of Asia, not visitors from around the world.

We should send them home, and people are like how the hell are we gonna do that, um? So? Like? But lots of like? Starting in this crowd and then. From across the market.

Another voice. Shouts and response. To this rabbit foam.

He’s like. I know, I’m probably the last person you want to see speaking. And as you guys turn and look? On the top of yet another immersions part that hasn’t been opened. Is standing a human man? Health skin. Dark brown hair. Go to. Um. Short cut hair.

And when he says that, and everybody looks to see and turn and see that it’s a human who’s speaking. Like, there’s a couple like chuckles, like. And he’s like. I’m one of the visitors here in this city. And let me be the first to say. What happened yesterday? Was a tragedy.

Citizens of this city. Lost their lives. And there were visitors who lost their lives too. Visiting for the festival of stars?

And make a quick perception check. Or insight. Check your juice. Insight. 20. In Safeway. 20 dirty. Yeah, okay, I would be yelling that 20. 14 insight. Insight 16. Perception. 18, 18, perception less than 18. Okay, 11. 11 like? You guys hear? Who are perceiving? Like some people whisper. Like, who is that, like, who’s this guy like, stand up, and speak?

You hear, somebody, say, like? Like he’s wearing the colors of the Empire, like the Tyrion Empire. Good to what Tyrann Empire other continent Tara humans live okay? Um. Somebody else Whispers. I think let’s put your coal. Um. Victor, like character? Yes, okay, actually see v-i-c. You’re a coal. As in like the department?

All right. And what are colors? So, it’s like, you know, Captain Marvel colors. It’s basically those. It’s maroon. Maybe you can hold? I just sorry, how do you spell Taryn?

Yeah. Usa colors. But. Flashier. Metallic, USA. Yeah. It’s classy USA. Other.

And. You look armed. He is not armed right now. No, but you can tell he’s definitely wearing like soldiers, clothes, a second go again. It’s okay, it’s the last time I’ll turn it. So? Um, the people who rolled Insight. What do we roll on inside? Folks. 20, 16, 14.

Um. There’s definitely. In the crowd. Some people. Feel.

A lot of confusion. From this new guy who’s speaking? Um, from the people that. You can tell, like, recognize who he is.

You know? Kind of. Do? I’m a bit suspiciously.

With magnifer the name. Um. You would not because you rolled inside. But. Your party has that info lean over?

Apparently, it is, I’m whispering, apparently. Apparently, it is why is it not Victor call himself? Thank you renam citizen.

I have. No idea. No man.

A little closer. To the ground. All right, I am trying to get the cart past the crowd. Okay, same here. I’m starting to move a little faster. And backyard. You’re still with the part two, yeah? I’m still with the cart, but I’m actively encouraging people to Rebel and rise up.

As a human. Yeah, correct. Against their government, not specifically, not specifically in this moment about visitors. Sorry, so. The Victor Cole will. Say, like? And amidst this tragedy. The stazi is encountered. Where have the city guards been? What have they done?

I may just be a visitor here. In this city. And you are not beholden to anything that I have to say.

But. In a time like this. When there are families who are grieving? You should give them space to grieve.

And we should step up. Where the city has failed. And we should tend to the streets and tend to the people who’ve been hurt by this. All of the people. Yeah, um. He’s, like, that’s why I’ve made it my own personal mission. Help in any way that I can.

This isn’t the first time. Then, it is hacked like this has happened. And. He drops. This people who wrote Insight? There’s. Subpanic. Confusion in the crowd. And people who robbed perception. You guys! People starting to, like, lots of talk of people like trying to figure out, like, what is this, that there’s been another attack?

Like, where was the other attack I didn’t hear? Did you hear it like? But I missed that, too. He said there was another attack. There was another attack, just as not the first attack that, like this. That’s happened. Would we know of that? Um, raw, nope, you guys, wouldn’t?

We’re not gonna roll. You simply would not. And. People who rolled Insight also. He rode your 20 Insight your specifically honed in on Victor Cole. I’ll tell you you notice that. He takes note of how the crowd reacts. And.

There’s a little bit of like. But he just keeps pushing forward with whatever you say. Um. And he. Says. My men are stationed in a village. And the jungle, where similar attack, like this, happened. But, as I said. I’m here to help him whatever way I can. My men are trying to take care of the people in the village you’ve been affected.

And we would recommend that you guys do the same here. Anastasia and like people are like shouting questions. Now, I guess starting to get out of hand. No, manga’s actually going to raise her father, um?

Not conspicuous. Are you trying to be pretty conspicuous? I’d like his attention. So? He doesn’t immediately notice if you have to shout. Would you shout, excuse me? It looks at you. Um. Yesterday, when the on cake just came into the arena? There was only. Local, who thought the rest of us were visitors.

And. He takes us and he’s, like, see. See and like the? The rabbit folk across the courtyard is like? What business does he have in any of this? This isn’t his job to be here. No one asked for you to be here. Victor Cole, like shouting across, like, why was the city founded?

Are you asking Victor Cole? Yeah, whoever, yeah, Victor. Are you like shouting? The crowd is. Like, shouting, like, I, are you shouting your book to be heard over people or? I mean, as much as men can shop, sure.

So, what was your question again? Why? Why was the city founded? So? Um. Like, somebody nearby that, like, just happens to like, hear you as like. Um. You know, the city was founded because? You know? Trying to find a peaceful place to settle and live? So, Outsiders came here and founded a city for themselves.

Are you shouting this over the crowd? So, roll first wage. Musically. How far have we got? So, that’s part of what is going on. Oh, that’s a ten. Yeah, we wouldn’t have stopped. Yeah, now for a second. Yeah. Yes, you next to the dead card. It smells great now!

Thankfully, like even though it’s hard to kind of like funnel through the crowd. Like, nobody’s really paying the car any mind. Um. You’re welcome, so you guys were able to like? You guys are forging your way through slowly, like trying to like, let people know. Hey, please, please move to Port the waters.

And what is your role? 10, 10. So? Some people seem to kind of, like, chime in. You’re like, you hear another citizenship, like? The whole point of the festival of stars is to have visitors. We were visitors here. So, like some people are like. Um. If this is a peaceful City, why wouldn’t you want people who would fight for peace?

So?

Um. Would we know where this Village is? That Victor Cole men would be. It’s like a small remote. Jungle Village. So? Probably not even like as locals like. And he didn’t name him. He didn’t name the name of the village. He just said a village. And the jungle, like we’re supposed, that would be the first time we would have heard of this happening, not in Nostalgia, but others.

Um, if people are kind of getting distracted if mango can reached, she’d like to pull on Victor Cole’s robes. I’m really wearing robes that you can pull on, like some of his. Like, yeah, there’s pants or whatever, like Gambits in or whatever he’s got on you. Excuse me. Quick, oh, nevermind, okay?

He looks at you. Um, we’re trying to figure out what happened and why. And if you have information, do you want to come with us?

Before. This breaks out into whatever it’s gonna be. You could be really helpful.

Um.

Roll, I mean. Perspiration or deception? Real choice. Would you be deceiving? Well, if it’s deceptional, that’s a 19. We’re going to section. Your choice between perception, deception, or? I’d rather go persuasion for 15. 15. So? All right.

Could come now, but? Can’t stay with Yvon. Okay, I’ll hold them too. Neither can one of our other friends that are healthy. So? Now whether or not the crowd will let them go at this point after? Oh great, he said, something we’ll see. And plan for that too, you know?

Okay. So? Um. Rabbit folk guy crossed the way. Um. He starting more stuff and people are kind of like riled up over that again. He mentions that, you know, like? There are rights happening across the city right now, like there are people who are going to government buildings actually and trying to like.

You know, making them that they’re not happy with how the city guard has dealt with things and are those local surf visitors that are right, so? Um. Who are you asking Victor Cole if he’s come down with me? I’m just being sad, so he’s like, I had no idea about the riots I was.

Heard about that. Yeah, well, it’s a silly argument. With people kind of riled up about that. Like they’ve lost a little bit of Interest and Victor Cole like long enough that he’s able to slip off the cart, and he’s actually gonna try and stealth a little bit. Me too to get out of the crowd.

Um. So, go and.

Kind of good. It’s 15, plus 8, so 23, 23. Yeah, all right, you were able to Megastelle, he slightly less, though he’s not as. You know, agile, as you? That stands out a little bit more, Tom. Maroon, right? He’s wearing a uniform. Yeah, he’s wearing like a soldier’s gambeson.

He’s not like armored up, he doesn’t armor on, but like. Yeah. Tell me this is a soldier. It’s as they still get tired.

Know each other here, right?

Do y’all know that he’s an interdimensional human yet now? There are suspicions, maybe. But there, there are signs. Yeah, we don’t know. So? They don’t know it explicitly. He could just be curious. Yeah. But I would say like after you guys get away from that crowd of people.

Travel to the streets is a little bit easier. You are starting to notice, though, like in other parts of the city, like there are. White, similar conversations being had, like. Mobs being wrinkled up to go. Once we catch up to, the group makes me guys look who I found.

First music. There he is, fix your call. Um. Do you have any reaction to him being part of the Empire? Representing the Empire. What’s around?

I don’t have any, like, yeah. Okay, um? You would know enough that he’s Empire. But you can form your own opinions about how you feel about the Empire. I have noted. On the places of Wilder Wilder. Sorry, I keep doing that welder. I know the places of Wilder. That.

The Empire is trying to colonize the Southern part of Wilder. Does Zumbago know that? You would know of it. Yeah, now in part isn’t colonizing. They’re not colonizing. And there works. So, this is the Taryn Empire that were the Empire we’re referring to the term empire. Okay? Where is the terran Empire?

It is not on the map because it’s a different continent. Guys, this. This guy has seen an attack like this before. I thought he might be able to help. Can we bring him? Are you an expert in dead people? Here to have one of those. I’m just a soldier really.

So your next braid in making people dead? In that sense. Yes, I am an expert on dead people, but not undead. People from dead people I’ve seen them before. Can you talk to us? Are we walk in and talking? Yeah, okay, so?

Whoever wants to roll an Insight check May roll on inside check?

    1. 10, 12. Insight 22.

It’s like how it? Like, whoever got like a 15 or higher. Um. Can you guys will notice that like? He seems a bit spooked after seeing the crowd start to get a little bit riled up. They like stuff that he’d said. Um.

And he seems kind of tornest, like, should I tell them, should I not? Um. So you, since a bit of like trepidation from him now? Um. But he will answer, say, like? So remote jungle Village. North of Estasia. Similar. Zombie creatures attacked the village. Build a couple. People. Um.

My name were able to put a stop to it. But. The zombies, so you didn’t figure out how they came to be, but they’re gone. Like where they came from? So much for in the jungle. They didn’t.

You seem a great place. Like the game from the graveyard in the city. This yesterday, too. No, this was. Maybe a couple days prior. It took us a couple days to get into town. Someone made. Traveled from wherever? Maybe raise those over here? You think a person did this?

Could just be family to perform the rights and the spirits became angry, but He’s from Vera. Beyond that. It’s absolutely nothing.

You think a person did this? Are you certain no? Not at all. But if it happened several days before? I don’t know how far it passed into this from here. When did you arrive? Um. I arrived. Yesterday. Um. I had some business in the city. Thought that I’d see the start of the festival before.

Returning back North. Business about the Undead. Guess I’m going back to the Village with my men. Where did you say this jungle Village was?

It’s not. Marked by any roads or anything? That’s remote.

So, did you see anyone strange? See anyone strange in the village? Yeah, nearby, that could have raised that.

If it wasn’t one of your men, then it would have been a stranger, right?

Jamie paper towel. So? I didn’t notice. I didn’t notice any. Anyone out of the ordinary? Like, I said, this Village is remote, like people are not. Out in the jungles near?

I only said someone because most times when.

Walk again. There’s some kind of right, that’s performance. Bring that about. And. It takes two wish days travel. An attack was. A couple days ago. Mary told the Violet stages everything we know about yesterday. And if your account is similar, then maybe it will help them figure out what’s happening.

Look. With all due respect. I appreciate what you’re trying to. That you’re trying to help. The city, I said, nice time.

Um. I. I need to tend to my business in. Get back to.

Return to the Village too. Anything that you would like us to pass on to the sages. Might be helpful in their investigation. I’m gonna whisper to. Octavious, I’m asking so. He can’t. Victor can here. Actually show him the card.

That’s not tuned. My experiences.

It takes them back through, like. It’s five seconds to understand what you meant, but that means that not okay.

And how? Ask the question, or what should we pass along to the Violet stages? Yes, okay, so he’s just going to say, um, I guess we could hold up the head. Correct the note that a similar attack took place in? Remote Village. North of Astasia and the jungle, you know, they like, want to fund that Village if something’s going on?

Can we tell them how to get to you? I.

I think me and my men have that under control. I don’t want. Too much involvement. And. Did all of?

Did anyone injured by the corpses? Show any signs? Coming back to life?

We.

We. After. Shortly after the attacks. Um. People want to go with also started getting really sick. Um. I don’t know. It was connected.

I don’t know. It wasn’t all people that had been attacked. Some people that were getting sick were not attacked by. The creatures at all. Um. So we’d take in. No, anybody that? Passed away. During that experience, we. Take it upon ourselves to burn the bodies. To try and prevent any spread.

Hey from Tara. Yes. Do I look like time? Come around here. Well, no, but I’m not good at telling that. And I don’t like to assume things. Why? Why are you in the jungle and Wilder?

It’s a long walk. I have a license.

Well, thank you for the information. Good luck! With everything.

Are we going to keep chatting? Are we gonna get this card inside?

Don’t mind him. He’s a local.

Let’s go right now! And get your collage. Anything you guys is a group one of them say now that he’s gone? And you’re away from the crowds. I’ll unboxer will share what he knows. About. You know, having been glad here, there’s a lot lots of diversity there. News could see around.

General knowledge that the terrain Empires. Take it to colonize. Southern part of Wilder. Even though they don’t. Call it that so. Unblock your handsome! Mischievings about Victor Cole’s presence and intent. On this continent. Uh, as he’s walking away. Can I like? Show Octavius, a little ball bearing. That has like a little scratch on it and then slip it into ventricles pocket as he’s leaving.

So, you’re just showing him real quick. What it is okay?

That’s a dirty 20. Nice. All right, let’s take it in.

All right. Um, in a little bit, maybe? What did you do? What’s up newspapers? Yeah, probably good time it up. It was the cake.

We’ll say. The crowd and Victor Cola side. The rest of your Venture up to the Violet stages of spellsfire. Is pretty unhiveful. Um. You’re able to arrive. I put the top of the tower. It’s quite a Trek of this little mountain it takes with a car. Yes, it’s, you know, quite the quite the slog, but?

Okay, so. Is there like a gate? Well, there’s like a big wooden door, um? Kunak Knox. And the door does open up and you’re greeted by. A cat. Black. To backseat. In a tuxedo. Um, tuxedo cab. Yes, tuxedo cake specifically. Yeah, are we interrupting, um? Yes, sir. Here to see the Bible stages or spell.

We brought that people. We’re here to talk to Keith. Angelia, Keith and Julia. Okay, let me um, come in, come in, um, leave. Maybe the card outside for now? Um. I will go get them for you. It’s a card safe. Oh, comes up here. He promise.

It’s like to vaccine like?

For this chance is this card just starts. That.

Terrible. Is that rabbit folk? Or tackle something.

Bearm falls off. We cannot do it until there’s a sign.

Oh, here’s your size.

Um. And you guys put a log into the wheel or something. Yeah, yeah. All right, so. You guys wait, you guys wait inside the waiting room in. It’s kind of a simple room here, um, just a couple of nice little couches dimly lit mostly. Um. Give me artifacts, bro.

The well, in this room, now there’s like, maybe there’s a couple like paintings and things on the walls that that’s really it. It’s just kind of here. Um. Tuxedo cat. Disappears for a moment, comes back with Keith and Julia. Um. They’re like talking kind of quietly tuxedo cat. Um.

Seems to be mildly heated, but finally that tuxedo cats, okay, okay, like he has an opening. Now that you guys need to be quick, he’s got leading in 30 minutes. So? And Keith and Julia. Come with you guys. Um. Thank you guys, you guys have. The bodies. Upside. Um, and ahead.

Oh, we got the.

And. We getting for this again. We’re willing to exchange information. In a census.

Throwing a shield? The shield. Armory. Scholars. If you need a shield? I’m just trying to get more stuff.

Yeah, that’s, uh. Oh, I got seven. Yeah.

Must reshield. We can write a writ for you, um. To stop by a local blacksmith. Miss recommendation from the violent stages to purchase their own Shield. You know, it’s usually easier to get them to stop arguing if you’re just getting what he wants.

You guys need to go. Let me take a look at you.

So? They, then it’s just like, maybe if you just guess it later, thanks to you now. Um. We’re going to go meet. The luminary. Shiny. Huh, how do we address him? Oh, you can just call him luminary. Um, your illuminance.

Cover that route. But. Um. We just. Need? You might ask you some questions. We just need to. Try our best to get the research approved. So that we can keep. But you guys feel graciously brought us. And use it for. Research if we can. Understood. Um. If you want information.

Um. Then, that’s something that you’ll need to. Bargain for very carefully.

Disney self up a little bit and! It takes you guys. Um. Spiraling to staircase? But the center of this Tower. Um. Until you guys got to like, one of the top four worst. And. On the way up, I I whisper the name. We may need your. Particular set of skills here.

Which ones? The lying ones. I don’t like mine. Good to know. Doesn’t retract a statement. Yeah. You, you may be uncomfortable here. Do you have good reason? Quite, and you’ll tell me later. I will tell you later okay. And in fact, like Keith and Julia, like, yeah, this is.

The Luminary. Montevani. Um, Julia says. You guys assume in Montevani’s actual voice, she’s just minute for you guys to hear. He’s a look, so gone. Um. From. You’re squatting, came here to study. Um. Yeah, oh, thank you. So, things gonna pull our foot up. He, um.

He is. Can be known quite intimid. He’s been luminary. Longer than most. So? He’s extremely knowledgeable. Um. Yeah. So, let’s say, just. So any other questions before we enter? Can I go to census room instead? I mean. He would prefer to meet. Everybody. We can take you out. Yes, okay.

She’s gonna pull her cut up.

Go into a room. Of this room is? A. Like? Dark, dimly lit study. In fact, like any windows out. Um, are heavily covered with like curtains and stuff. Um, most of what’s in. Here is just Torch light gives off a warm. White in here. Um. He. Keeps the study up here.

Very clean. Um. Now, there are a couple of spots where, like, he’s got some books on his desk. Um. And. Some, like notes. That. You know, everything seems pretty like, well organized, though. Um, there are booked cases in here. Like, all around this room. Um. Uploads of tones sections with Scrolls.

Um. There’s a nice like sitting room. Um. Looks like high backed chairs. Um. And a lot of the color in here. Is a lot of Violet. Um. Like dark? Royal Purple. It’s kind of. And warm. In here. But not like. Super humid and stuff feels pretty. Dry, but Just a little bit more.

And.

Locks it on. Um. Seated in one of these high back chairs currently. Has the pipe registered smoke? Um. Violet robes. Um. Kind of. Looks older, even for like Alexa. Um. A little bit wrinkled. Over pail.

So? Julia.

You’ve told me. About this party. And. What do they come with?

I’m sorry, what did they come with? What did they come with? Did we bring the bodies up with us?

I stepped forward. Kneel down.

Just trying to be polite, right? Like, he’s just being a gladiator, so? Taking a, you know, submissive form in front of authority? And. He says. Election and research. My inspection no? That is. Keith the end Julius? Idea. I would have no part of it. Absolutely! And yet. Here they have.

Hired you? Recruit you? How many corpses did you bring? Two and a head, sir.

And. Ahead. I’m assuming. Is not. Unit of measurement. I literal head.

And. How? Were. These corpses are quiet.

They attacked us in the sewers. So? In the sewers, the story gets. Oh, interesting. I have more and more questions okay. In the source. What? Well, you agree within the swords. Trying to get away from yeah?

Clearly not successfully obvious at all. The guard’s locked citizens and the Coliseum, but we’re killing. Would have been citizens. There was Panic and Chaos. The guards seemed out of control. Okay. I’ve heard such details.

You seem stand up. Mark to one of the windows. Pull back the curtains. Light shines into this room piercingly bright. Um, and you can see, like, as it shines through. Like, you can see the beam because this room is. Smoky. Um. How’s it looking out there today?

A lot of unrest. Unrest. Amongst the living or the dead. Living.

He sits back in his chair.

I would hope. I’m not. Only intelligent. In this room. And he looks at Keith and Julia.

But. If the city is in a state of unrest?

The city has been attacked. Vi. Grave. Buy these and dead creatures safely. Grave. And violately. I embody doesn’t say this. This is Sawyer.

If you were soon with the city is? And a great duress. How do you think that they would respond? Keep the Violet sages. Acquiring. Some of these corpses. And using them for research.

That’s. Not to have been noticed.

I do not believe there’s any precedence for such an action. There we go. Yes. Here we go. I like this. Yeah. He has 20 televisions. Are you still wearing the glasses? Yeah.

Finally, someone put some sense. So? There you go, you made it dictate your own actions in this situation.

You could be the leader. Or you could wait for somebody else, take action. There were no guards that we saw on our travel up here. Many crowds. No crowd control.

You and I both know the guard. They’re not gonna do anything. It is up to the virus stages to take this lead. A man of your intelligence? Have to understand.

Persuasion. Get that riss on Greg?

See, I’m not that great Charisma. I mean, my intelligence play it with, like with them and Charisma. You just got a shoot up straight. Yeah. If I, uh, follow this line of thinking? And we do. Start researching! Um. Fun answers for the city or the city guy failed to.

How do you think that they might react if we? Even if the research was warranted with the acquiring of the bodies.

That is presumably. Of the citizens of this city.

I still think that that might. Perception of things. What do you think? I think that. If questioned. Concerned. Visitors. Brought the bodies. To the Violet stages. So they can? Find their proper resting places and return them. Visitors being. You look, except for.

Visitors to the city. Interest. Are you proposing that I make?

If you need?

Are we sure we want to do that?

Illuminance. I’m not cutting or clever. I come from a. Place. Sorry, I’m trying to get on my thoughts around. I mean, his intelligence is not that high.

That’s really.

Another fill in the blank. Brooklyn. Sorry, I am both visitor and. Now, resident. Of pistachio. I come from a proud people. In the drive lens. And we honor our dead. What the guards have been doing in this city? Slaying the people? They suspect. To be harm without. Solid evidence is not a good stewardship.

Of their Authority, nor do they honor their dead by burning the corpses. Of their citizens.

So?

I think under those circumstances.

I could. Approve. Set research. It looks like keep in Julia. Um. One way or another. Discovery is write them to burn the corpses.

Absolutely obscene!

You see? Go over to his desk. Ask for a paper from Julia Keith, and like paper, he’s reading through it. He’s like making some edits. And. Signs up on it hands of that too.

First, you two. Not to make a mess of things.

For the others. Do you have a name? Collectively.

Not presently World Work shopping. We’re barely have names.

Understand it very well. So? In that case. Is there anything that you would require?

Because memorize the name.

That’s up to, and like, change. This name. Pros you off because my Giovanni is not a name. It is a Taryn name. But he’s from China. He’s from. He’s got a white guy name. So?

We were promised some. Information in exchange for our services. Hmm. Looks to Keith and Julia.

I see.

I. Possibly approve such a thing. If I happen to know what said research is about what information? Are you looking to acquire?

No, you’re looking at each other, right elbow.

Two, two things really one for each body? Um. The first is knowledge about interdimensional travel. Which we assume you? Be the ones to know.

And the other. Just look at census. Ah, two. Okay, okay. So?

That we may need in this endeavor. Unknown, responsive. Yes. What kind of resources did well? Perhaps the financial incentive would help us? Acquire. Unknown. Resources that we may need. Acquired. Thus, that knowledge. Insert, please.

I will give you.

Interventional travel. Interesting. Census data makes. More sense. Very practical. Humanitarian. Okay. And if it’s not too much any word from the tribe lens, I’ve been away from my people. Much. Happened.

During the time I left. Looking for any kind of? Information we would have gathered from the Drivelands.

How about this political?

I will give you. Restricted access. But still access. Some. Of our libraries. To research the things that you guys inquire about. And. Financial compensation. About. It’s actually redeemed from. The quick flat desk. For 100 gold pieces. That sound? Agreeable.

We would find that sufficient.

All right. Others, but of parchment. Rights, or something. Well, he’s doing that, and he’s going to lean over to. Kuna and show him what a gold pieces.

Pull up here so. This. Open has envelope.

They wondering what was?

Ride stuff like a little contractive agreement. You know, he signs off on it. And he’s, like, if you guys will sign your names here. As part of the agreement. It is what I’ve already said, I’m not hitting anything in the fine print. Um. Make one sign as a representative for the whole.

May one sign as a representative for the whole. At least the ones who are doing research. I would like to sign, which would be.

Sign it. Right? Manual. Scratch it with her claws, a signature.

Pretty much. Shreds. Not, not familiar with them alphabet.

Um. Oh, if I was a wizard? Never mind. I were subjects. Detect magic. Yeah. So, nope. You, your group up the contract? Um, that should give you guys the predicted access you need. It is only. Um, usable for today. So?

And. Some of you? Show some promise. So, if you would ever be interested in donating the button stages?

You know, what about this?

I had an amazing. Thank you for your time! Inside check. Did you want Row Insight? Good for it. It says goodbye in here. Nope.

So, let me seems nice. Yeah. That might even be this little name. Um. So, this contract was just for the access to life, right access to the library to, you know, look through their research restricted access he specified. Like, what sections of the library you guys are permitted to use?

What’s up? What did you? Huh? You pointed at me or something he was going to respond in.

I’d like to like hasten my way to the library’s where I can find. The interdimensional, okay? Travel research. So, are we all walking that way? On your way out. Who of you has the highest passive percept? Possibly. I’ve got 13. 60, 16 pretty good. I have no idea how to tell.

So it should be dead. Well, it’s 10 plus your perception bonus. Yeah, you’re not. So it’ll be 13. It’s 10 plus here. Thank you, whatever your perception better. Thank you. I think yours is nine. Sure. Because you have a? Negative wisdom. Right? No, no negative wisdom. Just my score is 10.

Okay, and why did you subtract ear there? Was that intelligence, oh, intelligence? Um, to make concussions. So? All right, all right, so you with the highest then? Um, would notice like on the way out Montevani kind of just to himself? Says. Thankfully, no difficult questions. I just kind of like content to play to himself as you guys head out the door is closed.

Save as. The door is closed Keith.

I don’t know how you guys did it. But thank you! You’re welcome!

So to the library. Absolute! So? It is currently 4, 22, just want to take a quick time check. Oh, there are certain end time we need to. I have five. Yeah, that’s my thought.

Um, and I’m thinking we can do kind of like some research roles. For the day, and we could probably end there. Is that some cool folks? You can turn off the intense. And we can go that to the polymer music.

Is it Mont obani? Like two words. For one, I think, like Matt tavani, one one word Montevon. It’s like Italian. Okay. I would like to look for anything on the two names from this little paper I was given. Well, on on the walk. To the library. I would kind of like walk next to Mang and be like?

Hey, what’s the deal bad guy?

Yeah.

You know, those portals?

But you’ve heard of it?

Are you saying he’s really old? Yeah. So 60, right, 60, 16 years ago. Was that what you’re asking me?

I think so. He wouldn’t tell me, do I hear this? Um.

Uh, what is that 11? 11. Yeah, I’ll say, like, you’re definitely notice the whispering together, but you can’t make out what they’re mispering about. Okay.

Interesting.

What do you think he’s looking for?

I don’t know.

You could just ask it.

I look good thought first. Not.

Okay.

So? You’re looking for since this data on the two bodies on the two names, and then if time? Okay. Just any information on any of those three? Um. Yeah, roll and investigation. Determine what you find. Dirty coins.

Yeah, okay. Um.

First name.

Huh? Yeah.

There’s not really like. It’s hard to find much.

They do have some, like? Basic records. Like when he got to Wilder.

What house? Peace from. Um, nobility. But. Lower ranking nobility.

When did he arrive? How many years ago? And it’s been about, like, a couple years, not long. Two or three years ago. Um, but even in that brief stent of time.

That’s kind of like risen up the ranks.

So, I mean, could we do research? Like? I mean, we have time today. I mean, how much? We were investigating that. I probably. Seems the most pertinent I. Embark is focused on. Anywhere, any information you gather than traveling? And it’s people. I still need information on the second name.

I would stray cup conversation with Keith.

Reading, so I’ll have you roll a investigation check for that, and I’ll have you roll on investigation. Check through yours as well. What are you doing about it? Uh, research on news about the tribe lands people with politics and your role. You’re investigation, check. I’ll get to you with your conversations.

But I’ll just kind of go around the table. Yep. Second name. Even with a dirty. Do not find any mention of Batman. And anything on Ben. Um. Easiest time research for. Um.

How much of this do you care? For people to be able to hear.

We’re applying now! We’re playing now, unless there’s something that they shouldn’t know that you can tell me later. But. I like things when they open. So, as long as there’s no matter gaming.

So?

Is one Finnegan peshra. General. Of the tobacian. Um. Yeah, you might. I don’t know. You can decide for yourself, like how much? You are aware of, like how high-ranking she was? Um. Yeah. So, what were you researching again?

Petra.

Um. Because she never stated her rank. Yeah, um, so I don’t know if you’d assumed how high ranking she was. I knew she was up there, but. I’m surprised. Um.

Most. Most of what we know about Finnegan or what these records have about Canadian is more like. Like military Pursuits. In and around, like the coastline and in the oceans. You’re not finding much information about shinya or warring States. Um. On the coasts. You find some stuff, but it seems to be more like.

Skirmish related stuff, nothing that would hint. It’s super deep involvement. In either of those two countries. And did you mention General from what goodbye?

Sure. Yep.

All right. Other questions before we move on.

Yeah, I mean, if that’s all the information it’s available. Like, unless there’s another place for me to look, that’s what I got. I mean like you with a with a dirty 20, I’ll say like you can kind of piece together with, like the mentions of what scare mesh is and stuff do?

Take place like in, like Warren State’s Junior areas or coastlines. Like? You can start to piece together. But how frequently she’s popping up? In both places. And like. Or might seem like passing. Skirmish’s might be like? You know? Alibi flip her to be present in those areas.

Thank you. Then, maybe I would research those skirmishes. To see if they actually happened or what the outcome was or whatnot. But that’s if we have time.

All right. Uh, I was looking for. Ways to reanimate dead people. Just in casual Mega. How, how this could have happened kind of thing? So? You find lots of books on like different kinds of like undead creatures. Um. They’re like, there’s lots of different things that, like when ring animated, depending on like state of decomposition, reanimate to different things like you’ve got zombies.

You’ve got skeletons if they’re like. Decomposed, really? Um, you’ve got.

Yeah, gas. Specters. Let’s just, yeah, there’s a creepy, scary step about glitches because they’re like. No way up there. Hi, ranking, okay, um? The. Stuff about, like, how to create them because it’s kind of more of a taboo topic in a lot of the things that you’re reading. They don’t like to give, like, explicit instruction.

Uh, it’s kind of like. Googling. How to make bombs and stuff like you can find it, but like? Don’t worry. Okay, I will tell you, you just have to ask it, right? So, how to not make?

But you’re able to. Find, like some of the like, necessary ingredients, like, a lot of times. It requires, like, some deal of sacrifice of something else in order to reanimate something that is once dead. Um. Requires like some very high levels of like pulling from the weave. I’m like, using magic.

Cause that to happen. Um. And like, depending on like? The state of the corpse, or like the person who’s doing the casting or the rituals. The intent behind it can yield certain kinds of Undead things. Zombies just kind of is like a standard ring animate. Corpse thing. It doesn’t require nearly as much of like the sacrifice in order to.

Yielded result. Any other further questions? History of Happiness before. Um. Anastasia, not much like the most of the mentions of Undead stuff that you read. Um, happens. And not even a welder like, mostly, like. There’s tales of like glitches. In like Tara? Um. A lot of them have turned into, like myth.

Legend. So, it’s hard to say that how much of it is, like, cheery, true, but? Nothing that you see that happens in, like, will do. And well, except of course. Which is known for? Reseracting and raising bodies mostly for like spiritual religious purposes. Like, there’s the high. Curl that is not dish behind it.

And still hold some suspicion that way they do. Um, they have their own secret that, like. Did you have their own secret rituals for raising liches of their Kings? Like their kings, they turn into Lich’s, and they get a lich afterlife in a lovely Palace. I’m sorry. Whoa, that’s bats.

All right, never mind. Kingdom of witches. Bro. Okay, it’s terrifying from a different energy source. Than like the arcane weave. Religious, and therefore it’s coming from like a Divine Source. They’re able to do that.

I recognize this dude. Let’s keep going around unless you got any other question. Not that, bro. All right, our roll is six, six. Oh dear, so.

About. It’s actually like, because this happened so recently. In this continent’s history. You do find lots of stuff on the events that happen 60 years ago. Of like the chaos portals that opened across the? Across the continent. Um. A lot of those have been like closed, but like there are still certain areas where.

Portals still do exist to certain places, or like the. Firmament between planes is very thin. And is a little bit more. Um, conducive to portals like that opening. Um. There are some places even like around a stazia. Would go to, like the plane of water. Um. Bloss of research on.

Way up north in the northern wastes. There is one portal to the plane of water that, like, doesn’t close. That.

Like a group of Rangers. I’ve like staged there and built like a keep around it in order to protect it. To keep it from, like. You know, opening too wide and like, letting awful stuff come through. Can you say the north? This is the northern waste Northern waste. Okay?

Um. There are records in a lot of these are myths? A long ago before the chaos portal 60 years ago is when that portal opened up. And it let out a giant massive. Beast. That light waste to the north? Until finally, it was either some of the myths say it was killed.

Some of the myths say it was forced back into the portal. But in some sense, it was defeated. And that’s why? The Rangers have taken a president’s there to like, keep an eye on that portal from your own now, so that monster came from that portal. Came out of the plane of water, and it was, like, all right guys.

Here now! Super little friendly. Pacific Rim Rangers. Yeagers and I? Do I find anything on the Recreation of? Said portals. Um, not really the portals you’re looking to recreate and not the portals. Like? Plane of water, like any of the like. Material planes that are close. Um. It also piece together that, like, these planes are planets basically like.

These are all part of the solar system. I can show you what diagram of that at some point.

Free. Just to recap the monster that came to the plane, they it was defeated. And what was that significant again? Like, well, once I was defeated, that’s how the Rangers, the winter tide. That’s how they formed. Um, new piece for his map. It’s already there, right? He’s just got a link them.

Yep. Hashtag. I’m like. Oh, what’s his name? Dr Doc Brown from? Um, back to the future, I mean, like?

Do I find any like history? That I wouldn’t know, or even on, like. The the original cause of those of the chaos portals. Oh, it came from an evil deity. He was opening this.

That deity is fully destroyed.

This organis planes info. Not yet. I was in Germanist. I’ve probably also go down to the cleric to get. Cool! Um, I have that contract.

I would give it to you. Yes. It’s kind of things are doing, inquiring that. I am looking into.

I’m particularly looking for. Um, any information I can find? About.

The drive lands. Especially, his name is mentioned. Any information news clippings? About Conquests ruling. Tribes in the tribe lands how that has shifted over the last? 20, 30 years. Okay, other newspapers. I would have a new school racing. You won’t believe. Well, it said, you won’t believe. What did you roll for investigation?

I rolled 17. It was an 18-1.

You stumble upon. One guy in particular who’s like one area of research is like trying to understand, like. Politics. And goings-ons of the try. Plants like these fascinated to watch it. And it’s fascinated by, like, the internal motivations because he noticed that, like his major thesis, is that, like, their politics?

Is different. From, like other nations. Because it’s on like this smaller scope. Um, is it like the tribal level? It’s a lot more personal. Um. So you do find lots of actual good records of like the changing of tribes? Um.

My brain remind me. Cuz. I had some plans, and then we changed plans. I want to make sure that I’m understanding backstory stuff correctly. Okay, um, what was the?

What was the? Clash between. Your dad and a hyo again. My like, my version, or was that the your version like, yeah, the thing that we’d agreed on that I forgotten because? I didn’t have time to rewrite my brain, all good. Yeah. It was. Um. The um, joyous, from a La-8 faction.

That. Uh, saw embarku’s father’s. Technological advance, especially toward military industrial complex, as a threat to tradition and honor. And that’s what caused the overthrow? Okay, okay. So? The stuff that you do read about atroia. Is that like? There have been some grabs for different, like pieces of land and stuff.

Um. The comments that this guy makes about? Um, this clan in particular is that like? We’re very like firmly rooted in their values and beliefs, and that’s why they he feels that they’ve been able to be so effective. And like. Taking the lens they need?

They took some closer, like riverlands, so they’ve got like. That are accessed to. More.

More consistent, like water source, rather than like waiting on. Dry Seasons. Having to navigate that as much? So, there’s been like some. Like gains in those ways. To improve their way of life. In doing instead of like, they’ve also like made some enemies of people that were very upset to have wasp back so.

Yeah.

Lots of changing! In borders and boundaries. And the guy, even notes in his notes that, like, you know, this stuff is changing. Every day, like it’s. You know, and these are marked. Um. A couple years old. So, like? Maybe a bit up.

You know, get something. Any other questions?

More later. You can, okay, so? You know where he lives? Late at night when you can’t see it.

And finally. You do get down. Go to tuxedo cat. You get your you. Get your heavier bulk.

So?

And you’re talking with Keith and.

And I don’t need. Special knowledge. I just. And looking for someone from from my country? Naomi. It’s a big city, but she was passing through here, and I think she may have she may be. Interested in sages? Just wanted to see.

I don’t think that you guys have technically been to buy this, I just yet so. They have not. Heard of anything that they say that if she does come, they will like, make note. But you know when they see you again? Thank you, yes. Is there a place that we like if we do find the information?

That we could like, send it to you. We are currently staying at the leaky dingh.

Have you heard of that one? Southern Harbor district. I think that far south town, what no where you would have met, it’s where it’s where we were? Oh yeah, duh.

Just acting going, huh?

Establishment, like a part of that. What are you doing? Am I doing isn’t like, dude?

All right. Um, any other final things before we? Keith have a question? Yeah. Where do we go from here? All of the children are growing up. I mean. Did you guys because you guys found out today from Victor Cole that there were other attacks? Have y’all updated Keith and Julia about that?

Let’s do that. Is that something that you would update than a bit? Yeah, what are your thoughts? Sorry, I’m looking at you. What is this?

What are your thoughts? Victor, Cole, and.

The Toron. Um. Sorry, I think of Iran to Ronnie, yeah. That Asian. Oh, I noticed some. Discomfort. From the luminary. About. Public relations, perceptions, and. And. Seems I’m not. Unfamiliar with political unrest, like a sense. There’s some of that going on here. Is any that caused by? The Taryn Empire trying to?

Influence and potentially colonize.

What’s your thoughts in Victor Cole?

Victor Cole’s no different than any other? Empire military guy that they would station at Bastion. Um.

Got a little Bastion or the capital B? That’s um, that’s the. Um. Little Fort Colony at the Empire has set up. And then, like Southern. Section. As well there. Sebastian Bastion Sebastian, not the disaster, just a bastion.

It’s negative one intelligence. Sebastian. There’s a proper noun. That also happens to be a regular noun. I like to do that sometimes. That’s my name. That’s why I clarified capital B, yeah, thank you. I would like to go there. Yeah. Buy on Earth, but you want to go to Bastard.

Well, we’re clearly effective zombie fighters.

You’re saying that you’d kill? Or take the fight to. Empire. Well, he didn’t seem terribly forthcoming, so I’d like to know if there’s anything he didn’t tell us. And that way you’re trying to do. Learn more about them. About the Empire. But the zombies, not the zombies. Yes. I don’t know that Victor Cole.

It was Jack shit about the zombies. Well, he’s fought them, and he didn’t tell us. The name of the place he was staying. He was avoiding it. It grabs his notebook. Said he bought other ones. And do you filming on like all of the details? Okay, fairly sometime. Hey, that’s all that down.

He’s, like, okay. That’s definitely interesting. Um, did he say if he was going back to Bastion? He didn’t say bastard, he said, back to the Village. He was, that’s correct. He was being secretive. I don’t like that. Yes, you said that some of the? Well, we are weird. Yeah, that some of the people are getting sick.

People who are getting sick? Was this before after the attacks? Okay. Although he said, not everyone think about second true. In fact, but it was after the attacks. Hmm. And if you don’t, maybe this is a sickness? That changes how we should do things. Julia. Is like, already, like sterilizing?

Um, in the meantime, have fun with the dead bodies, and that’s the reason I know that they hadn’t been there yet. If they weren’t currently? Yep. Would you like to come with us? No, we, um? We have research to do. Since it’s finally been approved, this me and Julia to take the helm on that because?

Montevani is not going to do it, and he’s not gonna. Ask anybody else too, so? If you like us to write with what we find. Find anything. Absolutely! You know where to find us. What month one is? Area of. Maliker. Research. They like, look around seeing anybody else. Is there?

Um.

I’ve never talk badly for the preliminary. Um. He’s, like. But Oh my conspiracy!

The way that Lumineers work is that you are only luminary so long as. Can answer any question it’s been posed to you? You’ve ever been asked. It’s a preliminary is asked a question that they themselves cannot answer. It cannot find the answer within a week. They have to step down from the position, and whoever posed the question becomes the new luminary.

So, don’t ask him anything. He can’t answer if you don’t want to be the Luminary.

What’s in my pocket? No? Normally. Like, you have to be in one of the violet stages in order for that to mean anything. Um, if you’re an outsider new opposite question that you can answer. So, we asked him why people are getting sick in Bastion. He would have to find out in a week.

He could be coming, but you could.

It would be a challenge if his authority. And if you were unable to answer and I were to take charge as luminary, there would be a lot of people.

Um. Part of how the system was able to work so well. Is it used to people would? Those questions all the time and questions would go unanswered. Quite frequently, meaning the luminary position was never held that long. Until.

Um.

And Julia chimes in Whispering in a woman’s voice.

They say Montevani was the librarian before he asked his question, and that’s how he’s able to help the position for so long. They said he’s read every tone here in the Tower. An elephants. Never forget.

That’s racist.

We’ll talk about it later.

So, there’s like a head librarian. Of the violet sages.

The luminary doesn’t do rese. Luminary runs. The stages. Luminator can do is in research if he wants, but you better if it’s going to keep up with things.

And.

In the past. Since I’ve been a Sage for the past five ten years. No one’s supposed to question. People have stopped. What? Is your favorite color?

I’m going after Victor Cole. Okay. The comments is your question? Is that what we’re doing now? That’s what I’m doing next. If you’d like to join? I do like, answer. And if you guys do find anything about what’s happening in this remote Village? Could be very valuable to our research as well.

Can you? Specify how? Do you know where it is? Oh, we could use a map. Take a map. You could find a map of that area, but you couldn’t take it with you. Can I recreate it? I can’t. Actually.

Handsome paper. I could too. So correct autographers tools. Hey nice, Julie. I just kind of like some off. She’s currently like actually putting on my hands. And is going to retrieve the bodies from outside and what kinds of stuff so? I just hand her the head.

No words. Well, you were like, would you like somebody? Stick the hair oh, shit! Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

I think that’s probably a good stopping point. Yep, next session give it to cool. All right.

You have become one of the Violet sages we come back. You pose your great question. I cannot answer at this point Julia somewhere in the background, oh shit.
