00:00:00Do you want some answers?
00:00:04Yes.
00:00:05Meet me outside in five minutes
00:00:07and I can take you to where we might find some answers.
00:00:09Very well.
00:00:11I do walk up to Tysha,
00:00:15and as they're,
00:00:18I go to say something.
00:00:21Then I walk away, walking past Tyranny and say,
00:00:27you're very much not welcome here.
00:00:29Do you want to leave?
00:00:31And actually, Curveball,
00:00:34we are not going to stay at the Fang home.
00:00:36I'm going to ask Leo, Sam, and Whitney to step away,
00:00:40and we're going to keep our friends here.
00:00:42We're going to keep.
00:00:43Oh.
00:00:44Fuck you, dude.
00:00:45I was getting ready to grab my shirt.
00:00:46The tenor is really different
00:00:47if she walks away and you don't.
00:00:49You were like parting words.
00:00:50I stay?
00:00:51I'm very sorry.
00:00:52I'm so sorry.
00:00:53I'm actually out of here.
00:00:54This shit's cash.
00:00:55We're to order before we go, Brennan.
00:00:56Did I hand this over yet?
00:00:58Should I hand this over to you?
00:00:59Is that the cimitar?
00:01:00No, you'll do that when we,
00:01:01so you hold on to that.
00:01:02We'll have a moment for that.
00:01:03Right.
00:01:06I got your fucking number, brother.
00:01:07I'm going to fucking get your ass.
00:01:08I'm going to fucking get your ass.
00:01:10Oh.
00:01:11Scooch, yeah.
00:01:12So a moment after you bandy-barbs with a demon,
00:01:19after you bandy-barbs with a demon,
00:01:21you go outside,
00:01:22and I think two veterans of the Falconer's Rebellion
00:01:26watch the most anxious,
00:01:29like finely dressed necromancer in the world
00:01:32step up outside in the dark to both of you.
00:01:36Hi.
00:01:37You've met Hale before, yes?
00:01:39Yes.
00:01:40By Hale, right.
00:01:41It's nice to meet you.
00:01:42I just said something really stupid to a demon.
00:01:46Today's been a hard day.
00:01:48Okay, so we need to find Thimble.
00:01:53Do you?
00:01:54Thimble's?
00:01:55I know who Thimble is.
00:01:56Okay, great.
00:01:58You know where to find her?
00:01:59Yes, I do.
00:02:00I know which house she was working out of.
00:02:04Hopefully she's there.
00:02:05That's the best lead I have right now.
00:02:06Then we should go.
00:02:07Okay.
00:02:09The three of you take off walking through Dolmachiar.
00:02:11I mean, no one's gonna stop you.
00:02:13You have an arcane marshal here,
00:02:15and I think, you know,
00:02:17Tayar, the last time you saw Azurne,
00:02:18he was like one of the younger people
00:02:20in you and Thiazzi's sort of battalion.
00:02:24But heading off here,
00:02:27you look through the streets.
00:02:31The rain begins to fall.
00:02:33You arrive.
00:02:34The Tanner's is named for its many tanneries.
00:02:36The smell of leather being cured,
00:02:39of flesh macerating.
00:02:41This is a grimy neighborhood.
00:02:50Okay, this is so confusing.
00:02:52What is one of the Sons of the Halavar family doing?
00:02:57Why were they involved?
00:02:58I'm also just checking our six as we move,
00:03:01and seeing if anyone's tracking our movement size,
00:03:03watching.
00:03:05You walk up, Azunay.
00:03:07There is a wall that you know is not a wall,
00:03:10up ahead.
00:03:12There's some, there's bricks outlined here,
00:03:16big sort of like whitewashing letters.
00:03:19The Ogramson leather tannery.
00:03:23And you know the S in that Ogramson
00:03:27is where you need to walk up to.
00:03:30As I am heading towards that,
00:03:34my friend, Thimble might be in trouble.
00:03:37There might have been a piece in something
00:03:39that went awry.
00:03:41I would prepare yourself just in case.
00:03:43I, oh, hold on.
00:03:45Any disguised self, himself, I shouldn't be me.
00:03:50Good call.
00:03:51What do you look like?
00:03:54Transforms himself into someone,
00:03:57the first thing he thinks of,
00:03:59which is someone who looks very similar
00:04:04but not the same as Taisha's oldest son.
00:04:09Cool.
00:04:10You look like a young,
00:04:12Orc-ish warrior, ranger, soldier.
00:04:16Very specifically, not him.
00:04:18I look at Azuni's demeanor.
00:04:20Is he going in empty-handed
00:04:23or is he arming himself?
00:04:25I am.
00:04:26I am armed.
00:04:27I technically just came off of the job.
00:04:32So I'm still in my full gear.
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:35And you see me do something
00:04:38that you probably didn't see me do
00:04:39while we enter time in the Falconer's Rebellion.
00:04:41I have a necklace around me
00:04:43with a small child's bracelet hanging from it.
00:04:47And I close my eyes,
00:04:49and I reach towards it, I touch it,
00:04:51and I whisper, I'm not alone.
00:04:53And in my mind's eye,
00:04:56I see a spectral form step out from me
00:04:59and then take a defensive stance
00:05:01and then dissipate as I cast False Life.
00:05:04Awesome.
00:05:07You cast the spell on yourself, you move up.
00:05:09You're not going to report me for doing magic, right?
00:05:11What I don't see goes nowhere.
00:05:15Great.
00:05:16I was looking the other way, thankfully.
00:05:18You approach the wall.
00:05:20As you do so, go ahead and give me Arcana with advantage.
00:05:24You can all do the same.
00:05:25You've both been here before.
00:05:3018.
00:05:31Give me perception.
00:05:3219, 20, 20.
00:05:3527.
00:05:3520, 20, 30, 20.
00:05:40You walk up.
00:05:41Octus, you see the residue of magic on the doorway here.
00:05:47There are three bricks that have been touched
00:05:52by magical hands more than any other.
00:05:54There's only so many ways you can arrange three bricks in order,
00:05:59and you can try a couple of different combinations
00:06:02and get this door to open.
00:06:04Perception?
00:06:0517.
00:06:06As Octus is opening the door,
00:06:08you're gearing up.
00:06:09They think something really bad happened.
00:06:11Teor, you look down.
00:06:13It's been cleaned hastily.
00:06:16Underneath the hinge of a secret door, there's blood.
00:06:20Fresh.
00:06:20I'll just grab Azune's arm and point to the ground.
00:06:23Redirect his vision.
00:06:26The door slides open.
00:06:28You look.
00:06:30Slender staircase going up in a hidden wall
00:06:34in between two halves of this larger tannery,
00:06:36a secret apartment up in this larger work area,
00:06:39almost like a loft that's been hidden away and bricked in,
00:06:43and there's blood on the staircase coming down.
00:06:45A lot of it.
00:06:46You look and see,
00:06:48I think, without even having to second guess,
00:06:51you think that bodies got dragged out of here.
00:06:55Thundering up the staircase.
00:06:57Laura Bailey, I'd like you to come out.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00Yeah!
00:07:01Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, what is happening?
00:07:03Woo!
00:07:05Oh, goodness.
00:07:06Oh, goodness.
00:07:07Okay.
00:07:08Oh, great.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:10Okay.
00:07:10I'm going to go.
00:07:11I'm going to go.
00:07:12I'm going to go.
00:07:13I'm going to go.
00:07:14I'm going to go.
00:07:15Thundering up the stairs,
00:07:17because whatever has happened has happened,
00:07:19and time is now of the essence.
00:07:21You get up the staircase.
00:07:24A door is completely shattered off its hinges,
00:07:28and you look in and see a apartment of an illegal arcanist,
00:07:35an occultist that has been completely turned upside down.
00:07:39Papers soaked with blood all over the ground.
00:07:41A mattress flipped up against the wall,
00:07:44cut open with daggers or long swords
00:07:46to search inside the mattress.
00:07:49Shattered mirror, clearly signs of a scuffle.
00:07:53What you look and see, the signs of a scuffle,
00:07:55is Teor and Asuna, you would both recognize this.
00:07:59Whoever they were fighting in here
00:08:02is not someone that they would have been capable
00:08:04of throwing around.
00:08:08I need all three of you to make an investigation check for me,
00:08:11if you'd be so kind.
00:08:16What was that for?
00:08:1719.
00:08:1819.
00:08:20That would be a total of 10.
00:08:2210.
00:08:22Seven.
00:08:24Teor, immediately smelling around as much as you can.
00:08:27You guys are looking at and seeing the,
00:08:30this is obviously Thiazzi's handiwork everywhere,
00:08:33but it is just partially destroyed.
00:08:36Teor, your nostrils come online,
00:08:39and you smell honeysuckle,
00:08:42a smell of something effervescent and otherworldly.
00:08:46A dim light is dying.
00:08:49In the corner, there is a great, this place is a tannery,
00:08:53which means that it has off-put of everything,
00:08:55whatever this place was before Thiazzi
00:08:57turned it into a hiding spot.
00:08:59There was a grate, a sluice in the stone floor,
00:09:03and you see a dim light fading quickly.
00:09:06Is this a scent that's familiar to me?
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:09I will rush over there
00:09:11and throw furniture out of the way as I do so.
00:09:13You look down in the grate.
00:09:15In that grate, Laura, could you describe your character
00:09:19for us and the state we find her in?
00:09:21You see a very small, four-inch tall pixie with short brown hair.
00:09:36She's older than the last time you saw her.
00:09:38She, you can't tell, she thinks, she looks almost 18 at this point.
00:09:43She's in, her clothes are a bit tattered now, the dark green.
00:09:50Her wings, which are normally a bright spring green, are almost muted at this point,
00:09:56and the wing is a little bent, and she's unconscious and askew on the ground.
00:10:01Her two swords, the needles, have scattered away from her grasp.
00:10:09Looking down beside her, you see this grate is like, only she could fit through it,
00:10:17and you see that there's also a small ceramic rune next to her in the hidden that would have slid in through here.
00:10:28But you see Thimble, your old friend, Fiazzi's partner in all things, and Laura.
00:10:36Is she there?
00:10:37We're going to make your death-saving throws after the break.
00:10:42What are you doing?
00:10:44What are you doing?
00:10:46Welcome to Campaign 4, I don't know, tough, I said backup characters, right?
00:10:51Huh?
00:10:52I don't know.
00:10:54Welcome to Campaign 4, baby!
00:10:58Welcome back to Episode 1, Campaign 4, Critical Role.
00:11:03Laura, give me a death-saving throw.
00:11:05It was a free intro!
00:11:08Clap, clap, you guys, clap!
00:11:1011!
00:11:1111, that's a success!
00:11:13Incredible!
00:11:14Oh god.
00:11:15Go ahead, okay, with a success.
00:11:16What?
00:11:17Thimble.
00:11:18What?
00:11:19You are the, you are a pixie from Teer Cruz through the land of Faerie, beyond this realm,
00:11:27a place beyond, you see a golden orchard swimming in your head, there's so much, Thiazzi, Thiazzi's
00:11:34counting on you, roll another death-saving throw.
00:11:37Oh shit, okay.
00:11:38Oh my god.
00:11:39Okay.
00:11:40Oh my god.
00:11:4217.
00:11:4317.
00:11:44His face.
00:11:45I'm trying to tell Thimble, don't be scared.
00:11:50There's something on the wind.
00:11:53A falcon, soaring.
00:11:58Give me another death-saving throw.
00:12:02Oh fuck.
00:12:04One.
00:12:05Oh shit.
00:12:06Okay, okay.
00:12:07Seeing Thimble and the...
00:12:08Is that two?
00:12:09That's two!
00:12:10Two successes, two failures.
00:12:13Everybody, for the first time in this campaign, roll initiative.
00:12:17What do you mean?
00:12:20Including me?
00:12:21Including you. You will roll with disadvantage.
00:12:24Okay.
00:12:25Actually, no, you roll straight.
00:12:26Oh my god.
00:12:27Good, because I did bad.
00:12:29Natural 20 for a 22.
00:12:31Natural 20.
00:12:3220, 22, what did we get here?
00:12:34Um, uh, 22.
00:12:37My answer's so cold.
00:12:39Oh my god.
00:12:40It's bad?
00:12:41No, 22 is what my initiative was.
00:12:43Okay, but you got a 22 as well.
00:12:45I did.
00:12:46On a nat 20, you're going to go first.
00:12:48Okay, okay.
00:12:4920, what did we get?
00:12:50A five.
00:12:51A five.
00:12:52I'm somewhere, I'm very distracted as we come into this crime scene.
00:12:55On that natural one, you see it.
00:13:00You remember the day you were with him.
00:13:04He was holding you in the palm of his hand.
00:13:07I'm so sorry, but they closed them, and you see the doors to Faerie closing.
00:13:21Death, the shadow of the underworld racing against the light.
00:13:26That inner spark within you connecting you to lands beyond, vanishing.
00:13:33That was the last day you felt it.
00:13:35The day you started aging.
00:13:38The day that Faerie vanished from the world.
00:13:42The light is leaving.
00:13:45That's what it means to be immortal.
00:13:47And on that one, your light begins to leave.
00:13:50Teor, you are looking down.
00:13:51This was Thiazzi's, to say, his partner in everything, in crime, adventure, war, and heroism.
00:14:01Thimble and Thiazzi were thick as thieves, and everywhere they traveled, they traveled side by side.
00:14:06And you watch as the light begins to leave her in this moment.
00:14:09It is your turn.
00:14:11I see the light dimming, and I look down, and I remember you so vividly, and yet you've changed.
00:14:20You seem different.
00:14:22And just instinctually, I grab onto something that's on my waist, and I reach out a single claw,
00:14:27and I ever so gently just touch it to your breastplate, and I will cast Lay On Hands.
00:14:33I'm sorry, cure wounds.
00:14:36Cure wounds.
00:14:37Cure wounds.
00:14:382d8, plus my spellcasting ability, okay.
00:14:43You gave me the one.
00:14:44Through the grate, Travis.
00:14:47Yes.
00:14:48I promise I'm not trying to be cruel.
00:14:49Oh shit. Oh my gosh.
00:14:50But there is a grate in the floor between you and where Thimble is.
00:14:56Do you want to give me either an athletics check or something else to try to move it,
00:15:00or an acrobatics to try to squeeze your hand?
00:15:03I would use athletics to rip the holy motherfuck out of that grate and leave no chance.
00:15:08Of anything getting between you and Thimble.
00:15:10Hell yes.
00:15:11If you so desire, even though there's possible danger everywhere, I will let you make that roll with advantage.
00:15:18If you disregard your own physical well-being in getting the grate out of there.
00:15:22Yes.
00:15:23All right.
00:15:25Amazing.
00:15:2619 plus four.
00:15:2723.
00:15:2823.
00:15:2923.
00:15:30You take just three points of bludgeoning damage, literally shoving your claws through the grate.
00:15:35The grate is not big enough to get your hands in there, and you force them through, skinning your knuckles on the way in.
00:15:41All of you watch Teor just pull, some of the stone comes out with it, boom, as part of your movement, as your object interaction to just get this thing out of there.
00:15:52Cast Cure Wounds for me, my friend.
00:15:54Hold, Thimble, hold.
00:15:56You'll see just a little bit of divine radiance extend down his silvery gray forearm, down to the claw, into your chest, and you heal 13 points.
00:16:07Thimble, the light is leaving until suddenly the sun is rising. It's warm again. You look up, but this is a dream that it will hurt to leave, for the waking world holds no joy for you as you regain consciousness.
00:16:33Easy, little one.
00:16:38Teor.
00:16:40I Thimble.
00:16:42What are you...?
00:16:44And I look next to me, and I see the glyph.
00:16:49I have to get to Tiazzi. I have to get this on Tiazzi.
00:16:54Wait, wait, wait. Take it slow. You're with friends.
00:16:57Thimble.
00:16:59What are you doing here?
00:17:01It's done.
00:17:03It's done.
00:17:04What do you mean, it's done?
00:17:06What do you mean, it's done?
00:17:07It's done.
00:17:08It didn't work.
00:17:12I'm sorry.
00:17:14And the disguise self melts.
00:17:17Oh, it doesn't.
00:17:19Sorry.
00:17:20It doesn't work.
00:17:22No, I'm sorry. I don't know what was going on here, but Tiazzi is gone. I'm so sorry.
00:17:36Tiazzi is gone.
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39I hold onto your finger so I can get lifted up. My wing isn't working.
00:17:43Oh, it's okay. Breathe. Just breathe.
00:17:47Tiazzi is gone. Tiazzi is gone.
00:17:49Tiazzi is gone.
00:17:51Tiazzi is gone.
00:17:52When? When? How long ago? I look up. Do I see the sky? Is it nighttime?
00:17:56It's no longer there.
00:17:58Oh.
00:18:00I didn't.
00:18:03I didn't even get to say goodbye.
00:18:06Please.
00:18:10No!
00:18:11Thimble.
00:18:13Thimble.
00:18:14And I approach you as you're holding onto Taylor's hand.
00:18:18He knew.
00:18:22I spoke to him in my way, and he told me to tell you.
00:18:31What?
00:18:32That you did so well.
00:18:38I did shit!
00:18:41No.
00:18:42The glyph is here.
00:18:44I fucked it up.
00:18:45These people came in.
00:18:48They attacked me.
00:18:49How did they even know?
00:18:51How did they even know?
00:18:52We don't know, but we're going to find that out.
00:18:54What the hell?
00:18:55We're going to find that out.
00:18:56Azune, as you look at the glyph on the ground beside Thimble, something's not adding up.
00:19:04Wait, I?
00:19:05You.
00:19:06The glyph was there.
00:19:07The glyph was there.
00:19:08Wait, and I want to take a look at that glyph.
00:19:10Give me an arcana check as you investigate it.
00:19:12Okay.
00:19:13You pick it up. This is an enormous wrinkle. Something is wrong.
00:19:18I start to look at it, if I may.
00:19:20Yeah.
00:19:21Can I guidance myself?
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23I investigate that.
00:19:26I close my eyes, and I know that this moment needs me to focus, and I let my mind take me to a place of calm, and I remember my mother's face.
00:19:40As I take a breath, that is a 22 arcana.
00:19:46You're looking. The glyph is perfect.
00:19:50It's exactly, this is what, and you're thinking back, there was no way for you, this is the glyph, it's here, and there's no way that's possible.
00:20:03And so the question is, on a 22, what did you scan? You got the, you got conjure.
00:20:09I was looking for conjuration and illusion.
00:20:11And you see conjuration and illusion here exactly, but the issue is, you were reading an aura because it had to stay hidden in his jacket, and you're going back and you're saying, I didn't actually get my eyes on what was in his jacket.
00:20:26Something is not adding up. On a 22, you know that this is accurate, that this is the thing that Thimble was working on. This one, you are holding in your hand and seeing with your own eyes.
00:20:37Yes. But something, this, it can't have gotten from Fiazzi back here.
00:20:44No. It's still on his body.
00:20:46You know there's something still on his body, yeah.
00:20:48We need to go back. I'll pick up the glyph. This is the right one, this is the one, this is what was supposed to be on him, but Thimble, somebody was on some, this.
00:20:56You told me there was the correct glyph on his body. It was, it was. It registered. I did the scan, and it registered. It pinged conjuration and illusion.
00:21:06It was placed.
00:21:10I start looking around the room, I start moving my wings, and I get a little bit off the ground and start looking around the room to see if those men took anything else.
00:21:19You had something on Thiazzi. You were trying to save him.
00:21:22Yes, yes.
00:21:25As you begin looking around the room, it is chaos here, and I think your fairy senses scan out through this space.
00:21:33They have pillaged everything. If that glyph, you remember in your last moment of combat, masked figures barging into the room as you were finishing the glyph, waiting for the moment of transfer, where you could fly out through the city under cover of darkness, plant it in Thiazzi's coat, exactly where it was supposed to go.
00:21:51The plan was set. It was you, Taisha, Octus. Taisha and Octus were going to be waiting to get him out of the city. Azune was going to throw the scan so that it wouldn't register as there being magic. The wagon was going to be provided by Casimir, an old member of the Torn Banner, and it was going to be put in place by Cid. Teor's younger brother was going to drive it into place. He was supposed to break the rune, appear in the wagon, head out, get found by Taisha and Octus and make his way out of the city.
00:22:19Looking around, not only is this place completely ransacked, but you killed at least three of them when they came in, and there's no one to be found in here.
00:22:31You look and see the grate. If you had not, with your last effort, grabbed the glyph and fallen into the grate, I think, Teor, looking at the thing you just tore out of the ground, you can see fingerprints on it, residually from like,
00:22:47in other words, she fell through and was hidden away from where they could get her, and then they ransacked the place and left.
00:22:55Looking around, though, there's so many questions here, and I think, give me an investigation, if you'd like.
00:23:03Okay.
00:23:07God.
00:23:12I'm traumatized right now. Seven.
00:23:17Looking around, you have no, it all happened so fast.
00:23:23Looking at this chaos,
00:23:27you would need a miracle to be able to piece together what happened here,
00:23:33which means it's really good news that a miracle walks in.
00:23:37Robbie, you want to come out?
00:23:39Oh.
00:23:40Shut up.
00:23:42I need a Kleenex.
00:23:44There's someone.
00:23:47Robbie!
00:23:49Do we have Kleenex back in the booth?
00:23:51I didn't bring Kleenex.
00:23:53Go get one.
00:23:55Oh, man.
00:23:56I got you.
00:23:57I got you.
00:23:58I got some.
00:23:59Yeah.
00:24:04Here you go.
00:24:06Hi, guys.
00:24:07What's up?
00:24:08Hi.
00:24:11Hell yeah.
00:24:15Um.
00:24:17To,
00:24:19to Octus.
00:24:23All of you, I have all of your passive perceptions in front of me.
00:24:30A ghost appears in the doorway of this.
00:24:33Awesome.
00:24:34You don't recognize figure, but Thimble, Teor, and Azune all do.
00:24:43Robbie, you want to go ahead and describe your character for us?
00:24:46Yeah.
00:24:47You see a human man.
00:24:50Is he tall?
00:24:52He is so tall.
00:24:54He is so tall.
00:24:56He actually is an opposing figure.
00:24:58He's older.
00:25:00I'd say in his mid-forties or so.
00:25:02But it's tough to tell because he's lived a hard life.
00:25:06A weathered life from the very beginning.
00:25:08You see a man at the waning peak of his physical ability, but he was definitely there and very, very capable.
00:25:18He's 6'4", 220 pounds.
00:25:22He's carved out of the oak that he lives among.
00:25:27Cadogan Vale is, has a cowling hood over his head and monochrome, everything on him feels scavenged, but purposeful.
00:25:44High quality and cared for, but wild and raw.
00:25:51And the things that he wears represents who he is on the inside as well.
00:25:55He is, he's a wild man in a place that he shouldn't be.
00:26:02And as he sort of appears in the doorway, in this imposing figure, he stumbles just a little bit.
00:26:12That aura goes away.
00:26:15And as he stumbles, he leans against the door.
00:26:19And you can tell, hey, he's been drinking.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:23Yeah.
00:26:24And that, that takes away, it diminishes him and the sort of aura that he's putting out.
00:26:33But he recovers quickly and does his best to make a joke and says,
00:26:38I thought this was going to be a funeral, not a reunion.
00:26:44The sigil that Octus had started burning into the air fizzles.
00:26:50I have that effect on many.
00:26:57And then through the open window, a massive juvenile canine just floats through the air
00:27:05and lands right in the middle of the room immediately off to his quarter.
00:27:10Has he?
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:12I fly up in the air.
00:27:13And he growls at everyone in the room.
00:27:17And slowly walks over to Cadogan and sits at him without any command.
00:27:21He stops growling and looks out at everyone.
00:27:24I know that dog.
00:27:30Pin comes up on my shoulder and flows and goes and sniffs at the dog.
00:27:39This little fox made out of pieces of foxes.
00:27:43Cadogan's completely confused.
00:27:46I've seen this dog in the woods.
00:27:50Pin wanders in the woods sometimes and sometimes I look through his eyes and I see this dog.
00:27:57Well, you'd absolutely recognize him because Wolfric, the wolf, not a dog.
00:28:04I'm not good at naming things.
00:28:07Is armored himself.
00:28:10And it mirrors Cadogan's armor.
00:28:12On his side is an empty quiver.
00:28:14He even wears a tattered cowl.
00:28:17And Cadogan knows what's going to happen next.
00:28:21He's just going to tear this fox to pieces.
00:28:24And instead, Wolfric can help me.
00:28:29Pin.
00:28:30Pin.
00:28:31Circle each other and Wolfric takes a submissive pose.
00:28:36And Pin just kind of jumps on him and plays.
00:28:39And Cadogan goes,
00:28:40Why won't you let me get that?
00:28:41Hey, you've been making friends out there without me.
00:28:45That's why Pin wanted to wear the scarf.
00:28:48I stepped forward, recognizing someone I haven't seen in 10, 15 years.
00:28:57It's hard to know what.
00:28:59Cat.
00:29:06It's good to see you.
00:29:08You look good, old man.
00:29:10What are you doing here?
00:29:11Huh?
00:29:12Did you know?
00:29:13He rubs some of the alcohol out of his eyes.
00:29:16The Aussie's pixie.
00:29:20Thimble.
00:29:21Thimble.
00:29:22Yeah, right around Thimble, Thimble.
00:29:25What's going on here?
00:29:26How are you here?
00:29:27Oh fuck, fuck!
00:29:28And he pushes Teor out of the way.
00:29:30He goes,
00:29:31You! I remember you!
00:29:32The boy!
00:29:33The boy!
00:29:34Look at that arm!
00:29:35What are you doing here?
00:29:37Hmm?
00:29:38Oh, I'm following you.
00:29:40You're easy to follow.
00:29:42Noisy, loud, clumsy.
00:29:44I'm half drunk and you fucks are easy for us.
00:29:47Listen, we need to leave.
00:29:48This is a crime scene and it's possible that people are going to come here and find us here.
00:29:54Were you here?
00:29:55Were you at the execution?
00:29:58Yeah.
00:30:00Yeah, almost.
00:30:03And Cadogan's mind sort of drifts off to the execution, standing cloaked and alone in a crowded space.
00:30:14And he's fully in his right mind at this point.
00:30:20After what he'd seen in the rural areas surrounding what was happening at the Crofter's village,
00:30:27he needed to come into town for a drink, which he rarely comes into the city.
00:30:31Very rarely.
00:30:33And Whispers on the Wind said a familiar name was in trouble.
00:30:37And as he watched the execution unfold, in his mind's eye, he sort of painted a picture of what could happen.
00:30:47And the thing about Cadogan is like, he's unnerving to be around because there's no clue what's going to happen.
00:30:56He could get a drink, a handshake, a handful of coin, or a headbutt.
00:30:59You never know.
00:31:00And in his mind's eye, he sees this scenario where he jumps up on stage and slices down a guard and frees the Aussie and runs off,
00:31:11but catches arrows in the back because there's no way he could do this.
00:31:15And he knows he would die doing it.
00:31:17But it sounds like fun.
00:31:19So he's fantasizing.
00:31:20He's imagining.
00:31:21And as he imagines, the grip is tighter on his club.
00:31:26And you feel this sort of feral fight-or-flight energy.
00:31:29And we'll forget his side, nudges his hand, and his grip lets go.
00:31:34And as he comes out of this fantasy and scans the area, he sees Teor in the distance, watching.
00:31:47And he sees you because you're part of it.
00:31:50And he follows them to the funeral, watches them go inside and almost thinks about joining.
00:31:58And then he hears the cacophony of voices, that part in a wake where the quiet turns to reverie as people start to become comfortable and celebrates life.
00:32:10And he decides not to go. And in that moment, as he's turning to walk out, all of you step out of the funeral.
00:32:18So he decides to follow. And this is where he finds himself. Not sure why he's here.
00:32:25Looking around at this place, even as Ozune begins to discuss the urgency of your situation, how bad this is here,
00:32:38I think it's so second nature that it's almost effortless. As Cadogan is surveying the space,
00:32:50go ahead and give me any skill checks you want about what would occur to you in surveying this space.
00:32:58You, I mean...
00:33:00Yeah.
00:33:01Hold on.
00:33:03Sure, sure.
00:33:05I stumble over and I look at what anybody else would seem like chaos, but I see the footprints.
00:33:12I see the handprints and I see the action unfold in the remnants of what happened.
00:33:18And I just subtly cast Clue to myself.
00:33:23I fly up and I land on Octus's shoulder while he's doing this.
00:33:27And then as I cast Clue, all of the footprints and fingerprints within a 30-foot radius come to life in my eyes.
00:33:34And they all change different colors and every single one of those footprints and fingerprints and everything from that battle comes to life.
00:33:42And I see it unfold before me, as real as it were happening in this moment.
00:33:47And I get this image of what unfolded.
00:33:53This spell fucking rules!
00:33:55Doesn't it?
00:33:56Yeah, absolutely!
00:33:58It doesn't do damage, no one ever uses it.
00:34:02Pretty sweet.
00:34:05I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you.
00:34:08Cadigan, you see, you know, Wulfric, this sort of scent informs everything, sound, and you can even play these visible footprints and fingerprints.
00:34:22You can almost arrange them in time. There's a rhythm to them, there's a dance.
00:34:27As you do so, you will get all the information here that you need, but also feel free to give me a survival...
00:34:37I'll allow this spell to do it with advantage. Go ahead and give me survival with advantage or investigation with advantage.
00:34:45Survival, investigation, sure.
00:34:47Nine, Oathcocked.
00:34:50I'll take the good one.
00:34:51Bad.
00:34:53Okay.
00:34:5816.
00:34:5916, hell yeah.
00:35:01As you begin searching, looking throughout this space here,
00:35:06you watch the fingerprints unfold on that 16 survival tracks coming in.
00:35:23Probably about seven people came in here.
00:35:26Okay. Fucking fumble.
00:35:28Damn.
00:35:29Three died, and looking at the fight that broke out here, they came in, they came in masked, and they came in knowing that there was going to be a fight. They were not caught off guard. They knew that a fight was waiting for them inside.
00:35:48The dead bodies, three of them got dragged out of here. In being dragged out, you find some crow feathers.
00:36:05You smell them. There's pine resin, alcohol, a thick sheen of tobacco smoke. These were worn as part of clothing, handled. Your mind immediately goes to the Crowkeepers, which you know is one of the oldest thieves guilds in Dolmach Yar.
00:36:24Looking at how these guys fought, these guys fought like murderers, not soldiers. Meaning that once they found Thimble inside, they didn't know what to do. The reason that three of them, they brought overwhelming numbers thinking that they were going to get the drop on somebody, they absolutely did not. Therefore, the fighting was sloppy, but just overwhelming.
00:36:50Moreover, only about, just judging by the boots here, there's something that's troubling to you. There's like a, six of the sets of boots are old, tattered. One set is fine, fine.
00:37:17And you see fingerprints. And you see fingerprints over a mantelpiece where there is shattered glass and see the residue of someone drawing runes against the mantle. You detect the presence of sorcery.
00:37:32There is a, someone broke a glass encasement here to take something.
00:37:42And it looks like everything of, like scanning the room, everything of magical import other than this glyph, gone.
00:37:53Thanks so much. Do I know what was in that glass case?
00:37:57You do. Once you see, as Cadogan points it out to you,
00:38:03the object that you retrieved on your last big adventure with Fiazzi of several, like a month or two ago you got back from it.
00:38:20The song, the Night Song, right?
00:38:23The Stone of Night Song.
00:38:25The Stone of Night Song.
00:38:26What is that?
00:38:28What is that?
00:38:29Yeah, I don't know magic. What is that?
00:38:31I don't know. It's a fucking black stone with crow, crows.
00:38:38Yeah, it's crows.
00:38:39It's super magical. I don't know.
00:38:41Why?
00:38:42Do I know anything about this?
00:38:45Give me Arcana. Give me Arcana check.
00:38:46Can I? Yeah, yeah, go for it.
00:38:5213.
00:38:5313.
00:38:5413.
00:38:5521.
00:38:5621.
00:38:57On a 21, this, on a 19, also, if any of you have religion, you can give me religion, it'll be a lower DC.
00:39:06No.
00:39:07No.
00:39:08On a 21, Arcana.
00:39:09That guy left.
00:39:10Huh?
00:39:11I was like, I do, but it's better if I saw Arcana.
00:39:1421, Stone of Night Song.
00:39:18Yeah, there is a reference to that in the Pentavril. Back at the school, there is, the Stone of Night Song,
00:39:25the Stone of Night Song is referenced as some relic. It came up in something about the Shaper's War. It was used by, if you're not mistaken, it was an elven artifact.
00:39:40Right. Yeah.
00:39:42Used by the elves in the Shaper's War. I don't remember what it does. I just remember reading about it.
00:39:49Dimble, I'm sorry. You were with Yazzie when you collected this item?
00:39:54Yeah.
00:39:55You have been, what have you been doing? How long ago was he taken?
00:40:00A couple weeks ago? Yeah, two weeks ago.
00:40:05I don't know, we got this a few months back.
00:40:14Was it connected? Did they just happen to come in at the same time? There's no way they would have even known about the hideout.
00:40:21Something betrayed us.
00:40:25Yes, I think so.
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:28Can I see that stone?
00:40:30Well, no, they took it. Oh shit, right.
00:40:33You want me to draw it for you?
00:40:35Yes, actually, that would be very helpful.
00:40:38Can I find a scrap piece of paper? Yeah.
00:40:40All right, I'll pick up the pencil and slowly walk all around.
00:40:44As you draw it, it's a spherical stone that is a sort of like perpendicular embrace of wings of some kind of like, it could have been a crow, but also I think you'd heard the Aussie refer to it as a nightingale.
00:41:02A nightingale. It's a bird.
00:41:04That looks like it's embracing itself and its wings to create a sphere, and it's a carved stone.
00:41:10I'm like kind of taking a mental image of that.
00:41:15You can take the piece of paper, I drew it for you.
00:41:17Well, thank you.
00:41:19I'll take that, I know someone actually who could help us.
00:41:22Cat, I'm, we are all sorry to see you again after such a long time under these circumstances, but.
00:41:29Well, I thought you were going to say, under these circumstances, I thought you were going to say, I'm sorry to see you.
00:41:35Never.
00:41:36I don't know if I'm happy to see you or not.
00:41:39Octus, this is Catagan. He ditched us after a battle.
00:41:44So no?
00:41:46This is, do you know Taylor?
00:41:47Yes, he has to be met earlier.
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:50The cat is a fierce warrior and a good man.
00:41:54Well, one of those two.
00:41:56Okay, great.
00:41:58Did you come here, Catagan, just by happenstance, or did you hear? I'm sorry, I wasn't following completely. You knew the execution?
00:42:06What did you say?
00:42:07Did you know about Tiazzi? Did you know that he was?
00:42:11Whispers on the wind and all that, I heard about it. Yeah. I was finishing out a contract. I'm very highly sought after bounty hunter and warrior of the people, if you will.
00:42:25And at that, Wulfric just goes, and just sneezes. You don't worry about him. But yeah, there's, well, you know Pinebow? No, you don't fucking know Pinebow, do you? You wouldn't, would you?
00:42:40I don't know if I would.
00:42:42Yes, city folk, city folk. It's all right. Pinebow, it's a little agricultural community crafters, they make all sorts of things.
00:42:52Where's his body?
00:42:53Huh?
00:42:54It's at Hal's.
00:42:55Oh.
00:42:56Can we go?
00:42:57Yes, we can. Let's go.
00:42:59Uh, the letter. Can I look around? Is the letter still here?
00:43:04Give me an investigation check with advantage.
00:43:07Shh.
00:43:10I'm starting my dice.
00:43:1313.
00:43:1413.
00:43:15With advantage?
00:43:16With advantage!
00:43:18Pick wisely, you only have a couple.
00:43:19I'm going to choose a teeny weeny one.
00:43:21As always.
00:43:22My teeniest little fairy dice.
00:43:23Oh my god.
00:43:24I can't read it.
00:43:25No.
00:43:26Oh shit.
00:43:27Yes, correct.
00:43:28I really can't read it.
00:43:29Three.
00:43:30Fuck.
00:43:35An insight check.
00:43:36You get a 13?
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:3813.
00:43:39Taking a moment, I will say on a 13, it takes some time.
00:43:43Sorry, guys.
00:43:44But you know you can't leave without it.
00:43:46So, with some help, there is something of Fiazzi's that you absolutely cannot leave here without.
00:43:52And you end up finding a letter with a single name on it.
00:44:00Bolaire.
00:44:03Finally, you find it.
00:44:06And as we see the name Bolaire on this letter, we must return to the holder of the name, which means returning to the Fang family home. Thank you for your time at the table.
00:44:17Let's go!
00:44:18And I'd love our funeral goers to come on back.
00:44:21I did that too earlier.
00:44:22It's fine.
00:44:23Smash it.
00:44:24Breaking everything.
00:44:25We're in this place.
00:44:26We're coming, we're coming.
00:44:27Points, points.
00:44:28Yep, yep, yep.
00:44:29Points, points.
00:44:30Table swap.
00:44:31Table swap.
00:44:32Table swap.
00:44:33Table swap.
00:44:34I'll just leave that.
00:44:35Yeah!
00:44:36Over.
00:44:37What?
00:44:38Why?
00:44:39I didn't know people were going to go by me!
00:44:40Jesus.
00:44:41I need an aspirin.
00:44:42No one wants to sit by you?
00:44:43Damn.
00:44:44I'll sit by you.
00:44:45My ass.
00:44:46Nah, I'm here.
00:44:47Um, but wait a minute.
00:44:48But hold on, but wait a minute.
00:44:49Who you want?
00:44:50Well, I'll just leave that.
00:44:51I'll just leave that.
00:44:52I'll just leave that.
00:44:53I'll just leave that.
00:44:54I'll just leave that.
00:44:55I'll just leave that.
00:44:56I'll just leave that.
00:44:57Yeah!
00:44:58Yeah!
00:44:59Get over.
00:45:00What?
00:45:01What?
00:45:02I didn't know people were gonna go by me!
00:45:03Well, because we have everyone at the funeral,
00:45:06but as I said the name,
00:45:08we should have its holder.
00:45:09Talos and Jabby,
00:45:10would you come out and join us, please?
00:45:11Yeah!
00:45:16Hello.
00:45:17Sit on our side.
00:45:18Hi.
00:45:21So here.
00:45:22Make this go here.
00:45:23Yeah.
00:45:24Ah!
00:45:25I spilled my drink.
00:45:27Sorry.
00:45:28That's okay.
00:45:29So many things.
00:45:30Ah!
00:45:33Ooh, thank you for that.
00:45:34Wow.
00:45:35That's beautiful.
00:45:36That's crazy.
00:45:37Lovely.
00:45:38That was great.
00:45:41Incredible.
00:45:46Walking up the Cobblestone Street
00:45:49to the top of the Rookery,
00:45:51we see the holder of this name on this letter
00:45:56in the wreckage of Thiazzi's hiding spot.
00:46:01However, unlike the chaos that unfolds in that room,
00:46:05I think a rather dashing figure
00:46:08now approaches the home.
00:46:10Talos, would you please describe your character for us
00:46:11as he approaches?
00:46:13Ah!
00:46:14Well, Belair currently is holding his cloak in his hand,
00:46:20which normally he will wear to keep a low profile,
00:46:25but considering that he knows exactly where he's going
00:46:28and is prepared to be a bit of a spectacle,
00:46:31is showing off.
00:46:34He wears a very fine set of clothing.
00:46:39It's not very rich, but it certainly has money
00:46:42and a bit of somewhere between ostentatious taste
00:46:46and trying to blend in, but really not wanting to.
00:46:51He wears black leather and suede,
00:46:56tied over an underlayer of deep red crimson.
00:47:01He is covered head to toe,
00:47:04from gloves all the way up to a high neck.
00:47:07He has very long, curly, dark red hair.
00:47:12The most notable thing about Belair
00:47:15is that he wears a mask,
00:47:19and this mask is a gray clay
00:47:24with dark gray, almost black lips,
00:47:29and very, very large, empty pools of blackness,
00:47:36where each eye should be,
00:47:38with a cut to indicate possibly tears
00:47:42that run down the face.
00:47:44Deep within these black pools,
00:47:48you can see tiny blue reflected lights,
00:47:53almost like a cat hiding in a shadow at night.
00:47:58And that's what blinks instead of the mask,
00:48:02deep, deep within.
00:48:04This would be even more disturbing
00:48:07as he approaches the door.
00:48:10The mask itself sighs and moves,
00:48:17just like a real face.
00:48:25Sighing at the door,
00:48:27you are about to walk in to the home of a friend,
00:48:30and the funeral,
00:48:34not of a friend.
00:48:40I don't know Fiazze very well.
00:48:45My dealings with him are private,
00:48:50and often through an intermediary.
00:48:56But I did go to the execution.
00:49:05Thinking back there in the shadows,
00:49:10higher up in the seats at the back
00:49:13of the noble's viewing gallery.
00:49:16You yourself, not a noble,
00:49:19but one who deals in matters of nobility,
00:49:23welcome in the spaces afforded to nobles.
00:49:30You look down and see Fiazze's final words.
00:49:34What were you feeling in those last moments
00:49:39before the rope went taut?
00:49:44I was there to see who was going to help him.
00:49:46He's far too clever to let this be the end of him.
00:49:51And it's better to see things in person,
00:49:54because secondhand accounts are even more unreliable
00:49:59than first ones.
00:50:03I needed to know who had that kind of power
00:50:05and who decided to exercise it.
00:50:09Sadly, my empty seat next to me
00:50:12for my companion who decided not to show,
00:50:15I'm not terribly surprised,
00:50:16but it would have been nice to have company.
00:50:18but I'm perfectly happy to sit
00:50:21and not have to make a face.
00:50:29Fiazze's final moment.
00:50:33An incredible show of force.
00:50:36The first execution in the history
00:50:39of the city of Dolmachiar
00:50:41carried out exclusively under the authority
00:50:44of the Chamber of the Lord's Advisory.
00:50:49An auspicious day for the power of the Sundered Houses.
00:51:10Fuck.
00:51:11The memory phase.
00:51:17And you approach the house of Howlandil Fang.
00:51:22You enter within and see Tysha Loy
00:51:27of the Dolmachiar Loy's
00:51:31absolutely shit-faced, holding a demon's ear.
00:51:34Fuzz.
00:51:35She is mid-Druidic rant,
00:51:41but you can see that there are streaks of tears
00:51:44down her cheeks.
00:51:46And she looks up at you
00:51:49and doesn't want to break the rant,
00:51:51and you see her blink,
00:51:52and then you see a second set of eyelids blink,
00:51:55and her voice continues,
00:51:56but now it's on the other side of the room
00:51:58as I burn a wild shape to summon Hala,
00:52:02my wild companion,
00:52:03who continues the rites in my stead
00:52:05so I can turn and address you.
00:52:10Welcome.
00:52:13I would ask if you're all right,
00:52:14but this is, even for you, impressive.
00:52:19It's been a while.
00:52:22I'm sorry for showing up like this,
00:52:28but I assumed you would need help,
00:52:30and I'm more than happy to distract
00:52:34some of the more inappropriate people
00:52:38who you look very familiar.
00:52:40I'm Tyranny.
00:52:42Tyranny.
00:52:43Tyranny.
00:52:44Tyranny.
00:52:45You look so familiar.
00:52:46I just can't put my face on it.
00:52:47I may name my finger on your face.
00:52:50I can't put my finger on your face.
00:52:53I really wouldn't.
00:52:55You came to the gala six months ago.
00:52:59For the party.
00:53:00You did, at the museum.
00:53:01Do you remember?
00:53:02It was my first and only party.
00:53:04I don't remember much of it.
00:53:07We are well aware because you did, in fact,
00:53:10manage to elude security for nearly 15 minutes
00:53:13before we found you having thrown up
00:53:16into one of the only three remaining urns
00:53:18No one threw up.
00:53:19of the Eyes of Calhoun.
00:53:22Sorry.
00:53:23It's all right.
00:53:24Now we use it as a teaching exercise
00:53:26in the cleaning of antiquities.
00:53:28Oh, oh, that's great.
00:53:29So I helped.
00:53:31I suppose you could see it like that.
00:53:33I have, hold on, I have a thing for you.
00:53:36You do.
00:53:37I have a box.
00:53:38Did I give it to Octus?
00:53:39Where is Octus?
00:53:40Octus is here.
00:53:42Where did, where is my?
00:53:45As you look around,
00:53:46I think Wick and Hal,
00:53:48you guys descend the staircase from on high,
00:53:50Hal, you can see that the fullness
00:53:52of the gathering is here now.
00:53:54There are a lot of,
00:53:56you see some of Thiazzi's more criminal associates here.
00:54:01There are some arcanists and occultists in this space.
00:54:05A lot of neighborhood people,
00:54:06a lot of family friends.
00:54:08But the house is full,
00:54:10and people are coming up to the table
00:54:11as Taisha's dear, Hala,
00:54:14is standing with its nose
00:54:16sort of down towards the top of Thiazzi's head
00:54:18as he has laid out on the table,
00:54:20his arms crossed.
00:54:21You see a bunch of family friends are coming
00:54:24and putting brass rings and adornments on his fingers
00:54:30and laying brooches or necklaces across his chest,
00:54:33so he's being gathered up with small treasures
00:54:36and trinkets here on his viewing.
00:54:40Hal and Dila, where is my son?
00:54:41I have to give the box.
00:54:44Oh dear.
00:54:45You're asking me about Al?
00:54:50No, no.
00:54:52The, Octus.
00:54:54Sorry, where is Octus?
00:54:56I've been upstairs for a little bit.
00:54:59I don't know.
00:55:01Is he here?
00:55:02No.
00:55:03I say as I pet your deer by my brother's body.
00:55:07You see walking in through the door
00:55:09a beautiful merchant woman
00:55:13who looks about in her early 40s,
00:55:16gorgeous gown made of rich imported textiles,
00:55:21and a young half-orc daughter with her.
00:55:24This is a human woman who's walking in
00:55:26with her half-orc daughter.
00:55:28She looks up at you.
00:55:29This is your daughter, Hiro.
00:55:32Looks up and goes,
00:55:33Hi, Dad.
00:55:34Hey, dear.
00:55:35She runs over and gives you a hug.
00:55:37Elodie looks over and says,
00:55:40Taisha, hello.
00:55:42Hi.
00:55:43Ooh, I'm trying to lock in so much.
00:55:45Do you want to use the Druidcraft cantrip
00:55:48to instantly soberize yourself?
00:55:49Yes, please.
00:55:53We're so good.
00:55:54It's just a bump.
00:55:55It is.
00:55:58She walks up to you.
00:55:59We're so good.
00:56:00Hi.
00:56:01Elodie goes,
00:56:02Taisha, hello.
00:56:03Hi, how are you?
00:56:05Awful.
00:56:06Yeah.
00:56:07I'm so sorry.
00:56:09Were you there today?
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:13How's Hiro?
00:56:14She looks over and gives you a big hug.
00:56:17Oh.
00:56:19I'm so sorry.
00:56:20I'm so sorry.
00:56:22How are you doing?
00:56:26To Hiro.
00:56:27You see, she goes,
00:56:28Well, any report from my own life would be improperly positive for the events that we now face together. Business as well and life as well, and let us say no more of it than that.
00:56:48I lean forward and kiss her on the forehead.
00:56:50She puts her forehead against sheer face as well. You see, she looks and says, Master Lothalia, it's a pleasure to see you. I believe I saw you elsewhere in the viewing gallery.
00:57:07It's good to see you as well, despite the circumstances, and of course, I am, as always, at your service.
00:57:15Oh, thank you for being here.
00:57:18And neither I nor my family blinks at this mask, which to a stranger might set somebody back a pace or two, but not a wink at it.
00:57:31I'm here for whatever you need, including, hopefully, distracting some of the more difficult elements. This stays for you at this point.
00:57:41We're feeling it out. We're all feeling it out. Thank you for coming.
00:57:46Of course.
00:57:47I think, Sam, you're holding the cemetery.
00:57:53I don't have a good time to give it to him, but I guess now's a good time.
00:57:57If you can absolutely stand here, you see that there is a beastfolk warrior looking over, who's speaking to this orcish woman, Loza.
00:58:11You see, he looks over, he's got a massive boar's head, brawny body, big stomach. He looks over, as you're holding the scimitar, he looks over and goes,
00:58:23Oh, the Aussie sword, nice.
00:58:26Right, right, right, right, of course. Tyranny, Tyranny!
00:58:29Hey, hey, are you still in trouble?
00:58:31No, I mean, yes, a little bit.
00:58:33Okay.
00:58:34That's beside the point.
00:58:35I have something to tell you.
00:58:36Have you been drinking?
00:58:39Yeah, I know, I know.
00:58:40Tyranny.
00:58:41Ember versus 151 Cloud, not the spark with poison?
00:58:46No.
00:58:47I remember, but.
00:58:48But you did Cloud the Spark with poison.
00:58:49Yeah, okay, okay, okay, wait, listen. Everybody hears, everyone here is drinking, and so I kind of feel like because people don't really want you here, then.
00:58:57Tyranny, I'm going to cast Thaumaturgy and yell three times my normal volume. Tyranny! Be still.
00:59:04Yes, Radiance. I'm going to read some hints.
00:59:09You can go in the corner and start reading hints.
00:59:12Through that bubbling up, bickering, Hal has just been looking through it at Belair and thinking about his brother's words until that voice shatters the room and I whip back.
00:59:24I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry. I hadn't found a good time to present this to you, but on behalf of the Halevar family, please accept this, your brother's blade.
00:59:37Oh. Oh. Oh my.
00:59:44Well, the cute wick, that is a kindness, I, I...
00:59:55As the sword crosses sort of the mediacrusis of your home, it passes over the doorway, or like, the door is on the other side of the room.
01:00:06As the sword exchanges hands, a figure enters the door that knows that sword quite well.
01:00:14Matthew Mercer, do you want to come join us?
01:00:18Oh!
01:00:21I thought we got rid of Matthew.
01:00:24You could only hope.
01:00:28Lean cup. Yep.
01:00:30Slide. Slide.
01:00:31Don't forget to get one more.
01:00:32Yep, yep. Thank you.
01:00:34Aha.
01:00:36Hi, Bat!
01:00:37Hello, everybody.
01:00:38Hi, Matt.
01:00:39Let's go.
01:00:42Wait, what was his vibe coming in?
01:00:44We're about to find out, because we're about to find out what his vibe was immediately prior to coming in.
01:00:48A gleaming green and golden carriage, baroque and wrought all throughout, stylized and gilded, borne forward by a team of four snow-white horses, glides up the street.
01:01:10Carriage of the sundered house of Royce, seated in the back, a grieving widow in years only of some forty-odd, and her gorgeous gleaming green gown, bedecked with jewels, tears streaming down her face as she stares ahead, shattered.
01:01:38She holds in her hand a wedding ring, one she has not worn on her hand in many years, but has never let stray beyond her person.
01:01:56To her left, one of her oldest childhood friends. Matt, would you please describe your character?
01:02:02Yes. You see a human man, just about to crest into his thirties, lanky, compact build, sealed within a reinforced leather military uniform of House Stavinos, the vassal house two, the sundered house of Royce, in dark purple and
01:02:32gray with red trim. You see across the right shoulder, an intricate silver metal pauldron, and the other shoulder hidden within a dark green short cape with intricate designs of vine and flower sewn through it.
01:02:51With himself a very stern, stoic look as he stares into the opposite side of the carriage, his long, heavily curly black hair tumbling past his shoulders, his other hand resting on his knee while his sheathed rapier sits on his left hip as he rides in the carriage.
01:03:11Staring forward, Aranesa is falling apart beside you.
01:03:21It's hard to tell in this moment compared to someone openly grieving how Julian is doing.
01:03:32We move back to the gallery, viewing the execution.
01:03:39Looking down, you sit next to an empty seat.
01:03:46You're not sure, back in the carriage, whether Aranesa saw Fiazzi's final moments or not.
01:03:56Final moments or not. Her seat was empty beside you, though you knew that she was not far away.
01:04:03So with that amount of privacy, what was Sir Julian Davinos thinking as he watched the final moments of Thiazzi Fang?
01:04:14He sits, arms crossed, in his chair, looking down from his elevated, noble box view of this execution.
01:04:27His hair tumbled past one half of his face.
01:04:35The faintest little grin peeks at the corner of his mouth.
01:04:39And that's all.
01:04:44As the body dangles, nobles around you rise, you see a hand slaps on your back from a noble of a house that fought under, you think, the Hale of Vars.
01:05:08It's an older gentleman who slaps you, maybe from the Maltaire or the Ejerion family.
01:05:14He just slaps you on the shoulder and goes,
01:05:17They should have let you do the honors, eh?
01:05:21Unfortunately, such honors are not given to those who deserve it, my friend, but
01:05:27there is further glory to have regardless, yes?
01:05:31Well, for the hero of the Battle of Maharlene Falls, the man who brought Thiazzi Fang to heal, you'd think they'd let you.
01:05:41It's an honor, Julian.
01:05:43Jacques, Jacques Maltaire, it's a pleasure.
01:05:46Jacques, and he takes his hand and holds it, and just holds it steady as he makes his eye contact directly.
01:05:53It has been quite some time, and with time, some things are forgotten.
01:06:00Now listen.
01:06:01You want another music actor.
01:06:02He's in a decent way.
01:06:03He's doing a ton of music.
01:06:04So he's doing an awesome music actor.
01:06:05He can't do a great job.
01:06:06You never know.
01:06:07It's very important.
01:06:08You never know.
01:06:09It's a great job actor.
01:06:11I'm willing to take my hand and play to the beginning.
