00:00:00Yor, do you want some answers?
00:00:04Yes.
00:00:05Me outside in five minutes and I can take you
00:00:07to where we might find some answers.
00:00:09Very well.
00:00:11I do walk up to Tayshia.
00:00:14Mm-hmm.
00:00:15And as they're...
00:00:18I go to say something.
00:00:20Mm-hmm.
00:00:21Then I walk away, walking past Tyranny and say,
00:00:26you're very much not welcome here, aren't we?
00:00:30And actually, Curveball,
00:00:33we are not going to stay at the Fang home.
00:00:35I'm going to ask Leo, Sam, and Whitney to step away
00:00:39and we're going to keep our friends here.
00:00:41We're going to keep...
00:00:42Oh!
00:00:43Hey, fuck you, dude.
00:00:44I was getting ready to grab my shirt.
00:00:45The tenor is really different if she walks away
00:00:48and you don't.
00:00:48You were like parting words.
00:00:50I stay?
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 should be cash.
00:00:55Before we go, Brennan, did 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.
00:01:09I'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 and I think two veterans
00:01:24of the Falconer's Rebellion,
00:01:26watch the most anxious,
00:01:28like finely dressed necromancer in the world
00:01:32step up outside in the dark to both of you.
00:01:36Hi.
00:01:37I just said something.
00:01:38You've met Teor before, yes?
00:01:39Yes.
00:01:40We met Teor.
00:01:41It's nice to meet you.
00:01:42Yes, Octus.
00:01:43I just said something really stupid to a demon.
00:01:44Um, today's been a hard day.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:49So, we need to find Thimble.
00:01:53Do you, Thimble'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 Dol Machiar.
00:02:11I mean, it's, no one's gonna stop you.
00:02:13You have an arcane marshal here,
00:02:15and I think, you know, Teor,
00:02:17the last time you saw Azurne,
00:02:18he was like the young,
00:02:19one of the younger people in you and Thiazzi's
00:02:23sort 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 Tanners is named for its many tanneries.
00:02:37The 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 Halifar family doing?
00:02:57Why were they involved?
00:02:58I'm also just checking our six as we move,
00:03:01seeing if anyone's tracking our movement's eyes watching.
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 O'Gramson leather tannery,
00:03:24and you know the S in that O'Gramson
00:03:27is where you need to walk up to.
00:03:29As I am heading towards that,
00:03:34my friend, Thimble might be in trouble.
00:03:37There might have been a piece in something that went awry.
00:03:41I would prepare yourself just in case.
00:03:43I, oh, hold on.
00:03:45Any disguise self, himself, I shouldn't be me.
00:03:50Good call.
00:03:51Like.
00:03:54Transforms himself into someone,
00:03:58the first thing he thinks of,
00:03:59which is someone who looks very similar,
00:04:04but not the same,
00:04:06as Taisha's oldest son.
00:04:09Cool.
00:04:10You look like a young orc-ish warrior,
00:04:14ranger, soldier.
00:04:16Very specifically, not him.
00:04:18I'm going through something as well.
00:04:19I look at Azunay'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.
00:04:28I 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
00:04:40while in our 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, and I reach towards it,
00:04:50I touch it, and I whisper, I'm not alone.
00:04:53And in my mind's eye, I see a spectral form
00:04:58step out from me and then take a defensive stance
00:05:02and then dissipate as I cast False Life.
00:05:04Awesome.
00:05:07You cast a spell on yourself, you move up.
00:05:09You're not going to report me for doing magic, right?
00:05:13What 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.
00:05:32Give me perception.
00:05:3219, 20, 20.
00:05:3427.
00:05:35Woo!
00:05:3820.
00:05:3920.
00:05:4030, 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
00:05:58and order, and you can try a couple different combinations
00:06:02and get this door to open.
00:06:04Perception?
00:06:0417.
00:06:06As Octus is opening the door, you're gearing up.
00:06:09They think something really bad happened.
00:06:11Teor, you look down.
00:06:12It's been cleaned hastily underneath the hinge of a secret door.
00:06:18There's blood.
00:06:20Fresh.
00:06:20I'll just grab Azune's arm and point to the ground.
00:06:23Redirect his vision.
00:06:25The door slides open, you look, a slender staircase going up in a hidden wall in between two halves
00:06:35of this larger tannery, a secret apartment up in this larger work area, almost like a loft
00:06:40that's been hidden away and bricked in, and there's blood on the staircase coming down, a lot of it.
00:06:46You look and see, I think, without even having to second guess, you think that bodies got dragged out of here.
00:06:55Thundering up the staircase, Laura Bailey, I'd like you to come out.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00Oh!
00:07:02What is happening?
00:07:03Woo!
00:07:05Oh, goodness.
00:07:06Okay.
00:07:08Oh, great.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:10Hi, Laura.
00:07:15Thundering up the stairs, because time, whatever has happened has happened, and time is now of the essence.
00:07:21You get up the staircase, a door is completely shattered off its hinges, and you look in and see
00:07:32a apartment of an illegal arcanist, an occultist, that has been completely turned upside down.
00:07:39papers soaked with blood all over the ground, a mattress flipped up against the wall, cut open
00:07:44with daggers or long swords to search inside the mattress, shattered mirror, clearly signs of a scuffle.
00:07:53What you look and see, the signs of a scuffle, is Teor and Asuna, you would both recognize this.
00:07:59that whoever they were fighting in here is not someone that they would have been capable of throwing around.
00:08:04I need all three of you to make an investigation check for me, if you'd be so kind.
00:08:10What was that for?
00:08:1119.
00:08:1219.
00:08:13That would be a total of 10.
00:08:1510.
00:08:187.
00:08:23Teor, immediately smelling around as much as you can, you guys are looking at and seeing the, this is obviously
00:08:31Thiazzi's handiwork everywhere, but it is just partially destroyed. Teor, your nostrils come online, and you smell
00:08:40honeysuckle, a smell of something effervescent and otherworldly. A dim light is dying. In the corner, there is a great,
00:08:52this place is a tannery, which means that it has off-put of everything. Whatever this place was before Thiazzi turned it into a hiding spot,
00:08:58there was a great, a sluice in the stone floor, and you see a dim light fading quickly.
00:09:06Is this a scent that's familiar to me?
00:09:08Yeah. I will rush over there and throw furniture out of the way as I do so.
00:09:13You look down in the grate. In that grate, Laura, could you describe your character for us and the state we find her in?
00:09:25You see a very small, four-inch tall pixie with short, round hair. She's older than the last time you saw her.
00:09:37You can't tell. She looks almost 18 at this point. She's in her clothes are a bit tattered now. The dark green. Her wings, which are normally a bright spring green, are almost muted at this point.
00:09:56The wing is a little bent, and she's unconscious and askew on the ground. Her two swords, the needles, have scattered away from her grasp.
00:10:07Looking down beside her, you see this grate is like only she could fit through it, and you see that there's also a small ceramic rune next to her in the hidden that would have slid in through here. But you see Thimble, your old friend, Thiazzi's partner in all things.
00:10:34Laura. Is she there?
00:10:37We're going to make your death saving throws after the break.
00:10:41What are you doing?
00:10:43We're talking about the game!
00:10:46Welcome to Campaign 4. I don't know. Tough. I said backup characters, right?
00:10:50Huh?
00:10:51I don't know.
00:10:52Welcome to Campaign 4, baby!
00:10:56Welcome back to Episode 1, Campaign 4 Critical Role. Laura, give me a death saving throw.
00:11:05What's a saving throw?
00:11:06What's a saving throw?
00:11:07Hey, what up?
00:11:08Clap, clap, you guys, clap.
00:11:09Clap, yes.
00:11:1011.
00:11:1111, that's a success!
00:11:1211!
00:11:13Incredible. Go ahead. Okay, with a success.
00:11:16What?
00:11:17Thimble, you are the, you are a pixie from Teercruz to the Land of Faerie, beyond this realm, a place beyond, you see a golden orchard swimming in your head. There's so much, Thiazzi. Thiazzi's counting 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.
00:11:45Tell Thimble, don't be scared. There's something on the wind. A falcon, soaring. Give me another death saving throw.
00:12:00Oh, fuck. One.
00:12:05Okay, okay. Seeing Thimble and the...
00:12:08Is that two? That's two!
00:12:10That's two!
00:12:11Two successes, two failures. Everybody, 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.
00:12:24Actually, no, you'll roll straight.
00:12:26I'm good, 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.
00:12:3722.
00:12:38I am so cold.
00:12:39It's bad?
00:12:40No, 22 is what my initiative was.
00:12:4222, okay.
00:12:43Okay, but you got a 22 as well.
00:12:44I did.
00:12:45On a nat 20, you're going to go first.
00:12:47Okay, okay.
00:12:4820, what do 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. You remember the day you were with him. He was holding you in the palm of his hand. I'm so sorry. But they closed them. And you see the doors to Faerie closing. Death, the shadow of the underworld racing against the light.
00:13:12That inner spark within you connecting you to lands beyond, vanishing. That was the last day you felt it. The day you started aging. The day that Faerie vanished from the world.
00:13:41The light is leaving. That's what it means to be immortal. And on that one, your light begins to leave. Teor, you are looking down. This was Thiazi's, to say, his partner in everything. In crime, adventure, war, and heroism. Thimble and Thiazi were thick as thieves. And everywhere they traveled, they traveled side by side. And you watch as the light begins to leave her in this moment. It is your turn.
00:14:10I see the light dimming, and I look down, and I remember you so vividly, and yet you've changed. You seem different. And just instinctually, I grab onto something that's on my waist, and I reach out a single claw, and I ever so gently just touch it to your breastplate, and I will cast Lay On Hands. I'm sorry, cure wounds. Cure wounds. Cure wounds.
00:14:36Cure wounds. Cure wounds. 2d8, plus my spellcasting ability. Okay.
00:14:43You're saving the one, and I do.
00:14:45Through the grate, Travis. Yes.
00:14:47And I promise I'm not trying to be cool. Oh shit. Oh my gosh.
00:14:50But there is a grate in the floor between you and where Thimble is. Do you want to give me either an athletics check or something else to try to move it? Or an acrobatics to try to squeeze your hand?
00:15:02I would use athletics to rip the holy motherfucker out of that grate and leave no chance of anything getting moved between me and Thimble. Hell yes. If you so desire, even though there's possible danger everywhere, I will let you make that roll with advantage.
00:15:17If you disregard your own physical well-being in getting the grate out of it. Yes.
00:15:22All right. Amazing. 19 plus four. 23.
00:15:2823. You take just three points of bludgeoning damage, literally shoving your claws through the grate. The grate is not big enough to get your hands in there, and you force them through, skinning your knuckles on the way in. All of you watch Teor just pull...
00:15:45Some 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. Cast Cure Wounds for me, my friend.
00:15:54Hold, Thimble, hold. And you'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.
00:16:32Easy, little one. Teor.
00:16:37Hi, Thimble. What are you...
00:16:42And I look next to me, and I see... I see the glyph.
00:16:48I have to get to Thiazzi. I have to get this on Thiazzi.
00:16:53Wait, wait, wait, wait. Take it slow. You're with friends.
00:16:58Thimble.
00:17:00What are you doing here? It's done.
00:17:03It's done. What do you mean it's done?
00:17:06What do you mean it's done? It's done. It didn't work.
00:17:12I'm sorry.
00:17:14And the Disguise Self melts.
00:17:17Oh, it doesn't...
00:17:18I'm sorry. It doesn't work.
00:17:24Thiazzi.
00:17:25I'm sorry. I don't know what was going on here, but Thiazzi is... he's gone.
00:17:35I'm so sorry.
00:17:36The Thiazzi's gone.
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39I'll hold onto your finger so I can get lifted up. My wing isn't working.
00:17:43Oh, it's okay. Breathe. Just breathe.
00:17:47Thiazzi, it's gone. Thiazzi, it's gone.
00:17:50It's easier, easier.
00:17:51When? When? How long ago? I look up. Do I see the sky? Is it nighttime?
00:17:57It's no longer there.
00:17:59Oh!
00:18:02I didn't...
00:18:04I didn't even get to say goodbye!
00:18:10No!
00:18:12Thimble.
00:18:13Thimble.
00:18:15And I approach you as you're holding onto Taylor's hand.
00:18:19He knew...
00:18:22I spoke to him in my way, and...
00:18:27He...
00:18:29He told me to tell you...
00:18:31What?
00:18:32That you...
00:18:35You...
00:18:36You did so well.
00:18:39I...
00:18:40I did shit!
00:18:41No, no.
00:18:42The glyph is here!
00:18:44I fucked it up!
00:18:46These people came in! They attacked me! How did they even know? How did they even know?
00:18:52We don't know, but we're going to find that out.
00:18:53What the hell?
00:18:54We'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.
00:19:03Wait, I...
00:19:04You...
00:19:05The glyph was there.
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.
00:19:09You tell me the glyph.
00:19:10Give me an arcana check as you investigate it.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:13You pick it up.
00:19:14This 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.
00:19:23As I investigate that?
00:19:24Mm-hmm.
00:19:26I close my eyes, and I know that this moment needs me to focus,
00:19:31and I let my mind take me to a place of calm, and I remember my mother's face.
00:19:40Mm-hmm.
00:19:41As 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.
00:19:55There was no way for you, this is the glyph, it's here, and there's no way that's possible.
00:20:02And so the question is, on a 22, what did you scan?
00:20:06You got the, you got conjured.
00:20:09I was looking for conjuration and illusion.
00:20:10And you see conjuration and illusion here, exactly.
00:20:13But the issue is, you were reading an aura, because it had to stay hidden in his jacket.
00:20:18And 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.
00:20:28On a 22, you know that this is accurate, that this is the thing that Thimble was working on.
00:20:34This one, you are holding in your hand and seeing with your own eyes.
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:38But 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.
00:20:50I'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.
00:20:59It was, it was, it registered.
00:21:01I did the scan, and it registered, it pinged conjuration and illusion, and it was placed.
00:21:09I 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,
00:21:15to see if those men took anything else.
00:21:19You had something on Thiazzi, you were trying to save him.
00:21:22Yes, yes.
00:21:24As you begin looking around the room, it is chaos here, and I think your fairy senses scan out through this space.
00:21:32They 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,
00:21:43waiting for the moment of transfer where you could fly out through the city under cover of darkness,
00:21:47plant it in Thiazzi's coat, exactly where it was supposed to go. The plan was set.
00:21:52It was you, Taisha, Octus. Taisha and Octus were going to be waiting to get him out of the city.
00:21:58Azune was going to throw the scan so that it wouldn't register as there being magic.
00:22:03The wagon was going to be provided by Kazimir, an old member of the Torn Banner,
00:22:09and it was going to be put in place by Cid. Teor's younger brother was going to drive it into place.
00:22:13He was supposed to break the rune, appear in the wagon, head out, get found by Taisha and Octus,
00:22:18and make his way out of the city.
00:22:21Looking around, not only is this place completely ransacked, but you killed at least three of them when they came in,
00:22:29and there's no one to be found in here.
00:22:34You look and see the grate. If you had not, with your last effort,
00:22:39grabbed the glyph and fallen into the grate,
00:22:42I think, Teor, looking at the thing you just tore out of the ground,
00:22:44you can see fingerprints on it residually from,
00:22:48in other words, she fell through and was hidden away from where they could get her,
00:22:52or other, and then they ransacked the place and left.
00:22:56Looking around, though, there's so many questions here,
00:22:59and I think, give me an investigation, if you'd like.
00:23:06Okay.
00:23:11God.
00:23:13I'm traumatized right now.
00:23:15Mm-hmm. Seven.
00:23:17Looking around, you have no, it all happened so fast.
00:23:24Looking at this chaos, you would need a miracle
00:23:29to 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?
00:23:38Oh.
00:23:39Shut up.
00:23:42I need a Kledex.
00:23:45There's someone.
00:23:46Robbie!
00:23:48Do we have Kledex back in the blue?
00:23:50I didn't bring Kledex.
00:23:53Go get him.
00:23:55Oh, man.
00:23:56I got you.
00:23:57I got you.
00:24:07What's up?
00:24:08Hi.
00:24:11Hell yeah.
00:24:12To Octus.
00:24:13All of you, I have all of your passive perceptions in front of me. A ghost appears in the doorway.
00:24:33Octus.
00:24:34You don't recognize figure, but Thimble, Teor, and Azune all do.
00:24:44Robbie, you want to go ahead and describe your character for us?
00:24:46Yeah.
00:24:48You see a human man.
00:24:51Is he tall?
00:24:52Coward.
00:24:53He's 5'11".
00:24:54So tall?
00:24:55He actually is an opposing figure.
00:24:58Yeah.
00:24:59He's older.
00:25:00I'd say in his mid-forties or so.
00:25:03But it's tough to tell because he's lived a hard life, a 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. He's carved out of the oak that he lives among.
00:25:26Cadogan Vale is, has a cowl and hood over his head and monochrome. Everything on him feels scavenged, but purposeful. High 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. He is, he's a wild man in a place that he shouldn't be. And as he sort of appears in the doorway in this imposing figure, he stumbles just a little bit.
00:26:12That aura goes away. And as he stumbles, he leans against the door. And you can tell A, he's been drinking.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:23Yeah. And that takes away, it diminishes him and the sort of aura that he's putting out. But he recovers quickly and does his best to make a joke and says,
00:26:37I 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.
00:26:55And then through the open window, a massive juvenile canine just floats through the air and 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. And slowly walks over to Kat again 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. This little fox made out of pieces of foxes.
00:27:42I've seen this dog in the woods. Pin 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. I'm not good at naming things.
00:28:07Is armored himself. And it mirrors Kat again's armor. On his side is an empty quiver. He even wears a tattered cowl.
00:28:17And Kat again knows what's going to happen next. He's just going to tear this fox to pieces.
00:28:24And instead, uh, Wolfric and, help me. Pin. Pin. Pin. Circle each other. And Wolfric takes a submissive pose.
00:28:36And Pin just kind of jumps on him and plays. And Kat again goes, what would you let me get that?
00:28:41Hey, you've been, uh, you've been making friends out there without me. That's why Pin wanted to wear the scarf.
00:28:48I stepped forward, recognizing someone I haven't seen in 10, 15 years. It's hard to know one. Kat.
00:29:00It's good to see you. You look good, old man.
00:29:10What are you doing here? Did you know?
00:29:13He rubs some of the alcohol out of his eyes. The Aussie's pixie.
00:29:21Thimble.
00:29:23Yeah, right with Thimble, Thimble. What's going on here?
00:29:26How are you here? Oh, fuck, fuck. And he pushes Teor out of the way. He goes, you, I remember you. The boy. The boy.
00:29:34Look at that arm. What are you doing here?
00:29:37Hm? Oh, I followed you. Yeah, you're easy to follow. Noisy, loud, clumsy. I'm half drunk and you fucks are easy to follow.
00:29:47Listen, we need to leave. This is a crime scene and it's possible that people are going to come here and find us here.
00:29:54Were you here? Were you at the execution?
00:29:58Yeah. Yeah, I was. And Cadigan's mind sort of drifts off to the execution, standing cloaked and alone in a crowded space. And he's fully in his right mind at this point. After what he'd seen in the rural areas surrounding what was happening in the Crofter's Village, he needed to come back and forth.
00:30:26village, he needed to come into town for a drink, which he rarely comes into the city,
00:30:31very rarely.
00:30:32And whispers on the wind said a familiar name was in trouble, and as he watched the execution
00:30:41unfold, in his mind's eye, he sort of painted a picture of what could happen.
00:30:47And the thing about Cadigan is he's unnerving to be around because there's no clue what's
00:30:54מה gonna happen?
00:30:56He could get a drink, a handshake, a handful of coin or a head butt
00:30:59You never know
00:31:00And his mind's eye he sees this scena 6i where
00:31:04He jump's up on stage
00:31:08Slices down a guard
00:31:10And frees the Ozzie and runs off but catches arrow in the back because there's no way he can do this
00:31:15And he knows that he would die doing it
00:31:17But it sound like spa
00:31:19So he's abandonizing, 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.
00:31:30And we'll forget his side, nudges his hand.
00:31:33And his grip lets go.
00:31:35And as he comes out of this fantasy
00:31:39and scans the area,
00:31:41he sees Teor in the distance, watching.
00:31:48And he sees you, because you're part of it.
00:31:52And he follows them to the funeral,
00:31:55watches them go inside, and almost thinks about joining.
00:31:59And then he hears the cacophony of voices,
00:32:01that part in a wake where the quiet turns to reverie
00:32:07as people start to become comfortable and celebrates life.
00:32:11And he decides not to go.
00:32:13And in that moment, as he's turning to walk out,
00:32:16all of you step out of the funeral.
00:32:18So he decides to follow.
00:32:20And this is where he finds himself.
00:32:22Not sure why he's here.
00:32:26Looking around at this place,
00:32:30even as Azune begins to discuss
00:32:33the urgency of your situation, how bad this is here,
00:32:37I think it's so second nature that it's almost effortless.
00:32:47As Cadogan is surveying the space,
00:32:51go ahead and give me any skill checks you want
00:32:54about what would occur to you in surveying this space.
00:32:58You, I mean, you know.
00:33:00Hold on.
00:33:01I stumble over, and I look at what anybody else
00:33:06would seem like chaos, but I see the footprints,
00:33:10and I see the handprints, and I see the action unfold
00:33:14in the remnants of what happened,
00:33:16and I just subtly cast Clue to myself.
00:33:19I fly up and I land on Octus's shoulder
00:33:22while he's doing this.
00:33:23And then as I cast Clue, all of the footprints
00:33:28and fingerprints within a 30-foot radius
00:33:32come to life in my eyes,
00:33:34and they all change different colors,
00:33:35and every single one of those footprints and fingerprints,
00:33:39and everything from that battle comes to life,
00:33:42and I see it unfold before me,
00:33:44as real as it were happening in this moment,
00:33:46and I get this image of what unfolded.
00:33:51of what unfolded.
00:33:53This spell fucking rules!
00:33:55Doesn't it?
00:33:56Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:58Mm-hmm.
00:33:59It doesn't do damage, no one ever uses it.
00:34:03Pretty sweet.
00:34:04I'll see you still.
00:34:06I'll see you still.
00:34:07Cadigan, you see, you know,
00:34:10Wulfric, this sort of scent informs everything,
00:34:13sound, and you can even play these visible footprints
00:34:18and fingerprints.
00:34:21You can almost arrange them in time.
00:34:23There's a rhythm to them.
00:34:24There's a dance.
00:34:25As you do so,
00:34:29you will get all the information here that you need,
00:34:34but also feel free to give me a survival,
00:34:37and allow this spell to do it with advantage.
00:34:39Go ahead and give me survival with advantage,
00:34:42or investigation with advantage.
00:34:44Survival investigation, sure.
00:34:46Ninth Mothcocked.
00:34:49I'll take the good one.
00:34:50Bad.
00:34:52Okay.
00:34:5716.
00:34:5816, hell yeah.
00:35:00As you begin searching,
00:35:02looking throughout this space here.
00:35:05You...
00:35:12watch the fingerprints unfold,
00:35:14and that 16 survival tracks coming in.
00:35:23Probably about seven people came in here.
00:35:26Okay.
00:35:27Fucking fumble.
00:35:30Damn.
00:35:31Three died.
00:35:33Mm-hmm.
00:35:34Looking at the fight that broke out here,
00:35:39they came in.
00:35:40They came in masked,
00:35:41and they came in knowing
00:35:43that there was going to be a fight.
00:35:45They were not caught off guard.
00:35:46They knew that a fight was waiting for them inside.
00:35:50The dead bodies,
00:35:51three of them got dragged out of here.
00:35:54In being dragged out,
00:35:55you find some crow feathers.
00:36:05You smell them.
00:36:06There is pine resin,
00:36:10alcohol,
00:36:11a thick sheen of tobacco smoke.
00:36:13These were worn as part of clothing.
00:36:16Handled.
00:36:17Your mind immediately goes to the Crow Keepers,
00:36:20which you know is one of the oldest thieves guilds
00:36:22in Dolmach Yar.
00:36:25Looking at how these guys fought,
00:36:27these guys fought like murderers, not soldiers.
00:36:33Meaning that once they found Thimble inside,
00:36:36they didn't know what to do.
00:36:38The reason that three of them...
00:36:39They brought overwhelming numbers,
00:36:41thinking that they were going to get the drop on somebody.
00:36:43They absolutely did not.
00:36:45And therefore,
00:36:46the fighting was sloppy,
00:36:48but just overwhelming.
00:36:51Moreover,
00:36:53only about...
00:36:54Just judging by the boots here,
00:37:02there's something that's troubling to you.
00:37:05There's like...
00:37:06Six of the sets of boots are old, tattered.
00:37:13One set is fine.
00:37:15Fine.
00:37:17And you see fingerprints
00:37:20over a mantelpiece
00:37:21where there is shattered glass,
00:37:23and see the residue of someone drawing runes
00:37:26against the mantle.
00:37:29You detect the presence of sorcery.
00:37:32There is a...
00:37:33someone broke a glass encasement here
00:37:38to take something.
00:37:43And it looks like everything of...
00:37:46Scanning the room,
00:37:47everything of magical import
00:37:49other than this glyph,
00:37:52gone.
00:37:53Thanks so much.
00:37:54Do I know what was in that glass case?
00:37:56You do.
00:37:57Once...
00:37:58You see, as Cadogan points it out to you,
00:38:03the object that you retrieved
00:38:06on your last big adventure
00:38:08with Fiazzi
00:38:12of several...
00:38:13like a month or two ago
00:38:14you got back from it.
00:38:15You got back from it.
00:38:20The song...
00:38:22The Night Song, right?
00:38:23The Stone of Night Song.
00:38:24The Stone of Night Song.
00:38:25The Stone of Night Song.
00:38:27What is that?
00:38:28Yeah, I don't know magic.
00:38:29What is that?
00:38:31It's a fucking black stone
00:38:34with crow...
00:38:36crows.
00:38:38Yeah, yes, crows.
00:38:39It's super magical.
00:38:40I don't know.
00:38:41Why?
00:38:43Do I know anything about this?
00:38:44Give me Arcana.
00:38:45Give me an Arcana check.
00:38:46Can I as well?
00:38:47Yeah, go for it.
00:38:5113.
00:38:5213.
00:38:5313.
00:38:5421.
00:38:5521.
00:38:5621.
00:38:58On a 21,
00:39:01also, if any of you have religion,
00:39:02you can give me religion
00:39:03and 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,
00:39:12but it's better if I use Arcana.
00:39:1321.
00:39:14Stone of Night Song.
00:39:16Yeah, there is a reference to that
00:39:19in the Penteveril.
00:39:21Back at the school, there is...
00:39:23The Stone of Night Song is referenced
00:39:26as some relic...
00:39:30It came up in something about
00:39:31The Shapers' War.
00:39:32It was used by,
00:39:34if you're not mistaken,
00:39:36it was an elven artifact.
00:39:39Right.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:41Used by the elves in The Shapers' War.
00:39:43I don't remember what it does.
00:39:46I just remember reading about it.
00:39:48Dimble, I'm sorry.
00:39:49You were with Yazzie
00:39:51when you collected this item?
00:39:53Yeah.
00:39:54You have been...
00:39:55What have you been doing?
00:39:57What have you been doing?
00:39:58How long ago was he taken?
00:40:03A couple weeks ago.
00:40:04Yeah, two weeks ago.
00:40:06I don't know.
00:40:07We got this a few months back.
00:40:12Did this...
00:40:13Was it connected?
00:40:15Did they just happen to come in at the same time?
00:40:18There's no way they would have even known
00:40:19about the hideout.
00:40:21Something betrayed us.
00:40:24Yes, I think so.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:27Can I see that stone?
00:40:29Well, no, they took it.
00:40:31Oh shit, right.
00:40:32You want me to draw it for you?
00:40:34Yes, actually.
00:40:36That would be very helpful.
00:40:38Can I find a scrap piece of paper?
00:40:39Yeah.
00:40:40All right, I'll pick up the pencil
00:40:42and slowly walk all around.
00:40:44As you draw it, it's a spherical stone
00:40:47that is a sort of perpendicular embrace
00:40:52of wings of some kind of a...
00:40:57It could have been a crow,
00:40:58but also I think you'd heard the Aussie
00:41:00refer to it as a nightingale.
00:41:01A nightingale.
00:41:02It's a bird.
00:41:03That looks like it's embracing itself
00:41:06and its wings to create a sphere,
00:41:08and it's a carved stone.
00:41:11I'm kind of taking a mental image of that.
00:41:14You can take the piece of paper
00:41:16and you're afraid.
00:41:17Well, thank you.
00:41:18I'll take that.
00:41:19I know someone actually who could help us.
00:41:22Cat, I'm...
00:41:24We are all sorry to see you again
00:41:26after such a long time
00:41:27under these circumstances, but...
00:41:29I thought you were going to say,
00:41:30under these circumstances,
00:41:32I thought you were going to say,
00:41:33I'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 Cat again.
00:41:41He 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.
00:41:48Yeah.
00:41:49The cat is a fierce warrior
00:41:52and a good man.
00:41:53Oh.
00:41:54Well, one of those, too.
00:41:55Okay.
00:41:56Great.
00:41:57Did you come here, Cat again,
00:41:59before, just by happenstance,
00:42:01or did you hear?
00:42:02I'm sorry, I wasn't following completely.
00:42:03Oh no.
00:42:04You knew the execution?
00:42:06What did you say?
00:42:07Did you know about Tiazzi?
00:42:09Did you know that he was...
00:42:11Whispers on the wind and all that.
00:42:13I heard about it.
00:42:14Yeah.
00:42:15I was finishing out a contract.
00:42:18I'm very highly sought after bounty hunter
00:42:22and warrior of the people, if you will.
00:42:25And at that, Wolfrick just goes
00:42:27and just sneezes.
00:42:29You don't worry about him.
00:42:31But yeah, there's...
00:42:33Well, you know Pinebow?
00:42:36No, you don't fucking know Pinebow, do you?
00:42:39You wouldn't, would you?
00:42:40I don't know if I would.
00:42:41Yeah, it's city folk, city folk.
00:42:44It's all right.
00:42:45Pinebow, it's a little agricultural community crafters
00:42:50that make all sorts of things.
00:42:51Where'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.
00:42:58Let's go.
00:42:59Uh, the letter.
00:43:02Can I look around?
00:43:03Is the letter still here?
00:43:04Give me an investigation check with advantage.
00:43:09All my dice.
00:43:1313.
00:43:1413.
00:43:15With advantage?
00:43:16With advantage!
00:43:17Pick 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 shit.
00:43:26Yes, correct.
00:43:27I 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.
00:43:45So 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.
00:44:01Finally, 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
00:44:12means returning to the Fang family home.
00:44:15Thank you for your time at the table.
00:44:16Let's go!
00:44:17And I'd love our funeral goers to come on back.
00:44:19I did that too earlier.
00:44:20It's fine.
00:44:21Smash it.
00:44:22Breaking everything.
00:44:23We're in this place.
00:44:24We're coming, we're coming.
00:44:25Points, points.
00:44:26Yep, yep, yep.
00:44:27Points, points.
00:44:28Table swap.
00:44:29Table swap.
00:44:30Table swap.
00:44:31Table swap.
00:44:32Table swap.
00:44:33I'll just leave that.
00:44:34I'll just leave that.
00:44:35Yeah.
00:44:36Over.
00:44:37What?
00:44:38What?
00:44:39I didn't know.
00:44:40People were going to go back.
00:44:42Come on back.
00:44:43Come on back.
00:44:44I did that too earlier.
00:44:45It's fine.
00:44:46Smash it.
00:44:47What?
00:44:48I didn't know people were going to go by you.
00:44:50Jesus.
00:44:51I need an aspirin.
00:44:52No one wants to sit by you?
00:44:54Damn, I'll sit by you.
00:44:56Aw, yeah.
00:44:57Nah, I'm here.
00:44:58But wait a minute.
00:45:00But hold on, but wait a minute.
00:45:02Who do you want?
00:45:03Well, because we have everyone at the funeral, but as I said the name, we should have its holder.
00:45:09Talos and Jabby, would you come out and join us, please?
00:45:11Yeah!
00:45:12Hello.
00:45:13Hello.
00:45:17Sit on our side.
00:45:18Hi.
00:45:20So, here.
00:45:21Take this guy here.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:24Ah!
00:45:25I spilled my drink.
00:45:26That's all right.
00:45:27That's okay.
00:45:28There's so many things.
00:45:30Ah!
00:45:32Ooh, you can run.
00:45:33Back.
00:45:34Wow.
00:45:35That's beautiful.
00:45:36That's crazy.
00:45:37That was great.
00:45:38Incredible.
00:45:41Walking up the cobblestone street to the top of the rookery, we see the holder of this
00:45:54name on this letter in the wreckage of Thiazzi's hiding spot. However, unlike the chaos that
00:46:03unfolds in that room, I think a rather dashing figure now approaches the home. Talos, would you
00:46:10please describe your character for us as he approaches?
00:46:13Ah!
00:46:14Well, Baler currently is holding his cloak in his hand, which normally he will wear to
00:46:24keep a low profile, but considering that he knows exactly where he's going and is prepared
00:46:29to be a bit of a spectacle, is showing off. He wears a very fine set of clothing. It's not
00:46:39very rich, but it certainly has money and a bit of somewhere between ostentatious taste and trying
00:46:46to blend in, but really not wanting to. He wears black leather and suede, tied over an underlayer
00:46:57of deep red crimson. He is covered head to toe, from gloves all the way up to a high neck. He has very long,
00:47:08curly, dark red hair. The most notable thing about Baler is that he wears a mask. This mask is a gray clay, with dark gray, almost black lips, and very, very large, empty pools of blackness, where each eye should be.
00:47:37With a cut to indicate possibly tears that run down the face. Deep within these black pools, you can see tiny blue reflected lights, almost like a cat hiding in a shadow at night. And that's what blinks instead of the mask. Deep, deep within. This would be even more
00:48:05disturbing as he approaches the door. The mask itself sighs and moves, just like a real face.
00:48:18Sighing at the door, you are about to walk in to the home of a friend, and the funeral, not of a friend.
00:48:34Not of a friend. I don't know Thiazze very well. My dealings with him are private, and often through an intermediary. But I did go to the execution.
00:49:02Thinking back there, in the shadows, higher up in the seats at the back of the noble's viewing gallery. You yourself, not a noble, but one who deals in matters of nobility, welcome in the spaces afforded to nobles.
00:49:26You look down and see Thiazze's final words. What were you feeling in those last moments before the rope went taut?
00:49:41I was there to see who was going to help him. He's far too clever to let this be the end of him. And it's better to see things in person, because secondhand accounts are even more unreliable than first ones.
00:50:00I needed to know who had that kind of power and who decided to exercise it. Sadly, my empty seat next to me for my companion, who decided not to show, I'm not terribly surprised, but it would have been nice to have company. But I'm perfectly happy to sit and not have to make a face.
00:50:23The Aussie's final moment. An incredible show of force. The first execution in the history of the city of Dolmachiar carried out exclusively under the authority of the Chamber of the Lords Advisory.
00:50:47An auspicious day for the power of the Sundered Houses.
00:51:10Fuck.
00:51:11The memory fades!
00:51:14And you approach the house of Howlandeel Fang.
00:51:19You enter within and see Tysha Loy of the Dolmachiar Loys, absolutely shit-faced, holding a demon's ear.
00:51:33She is mid-Druidic rant, but you can see that there are streaks of tears in her face.
00:51:43And she looks up at you and doesn't want to break the rant. And you see her blink. And then you see a second set of eyelids blink. And her voice continues, but now it's on the other side of the room as I burn a wild shape to summon Hala, my wild companion, who continues the rites in my stead so I can turn and address you.
00:52:06Welcome.
00:52:09Welcome.
00:52:12I would ask if you're all right, but this is, even for you, impressive.
00:52:19It's been a while.
00:52:22I'm sorry for showing up like this, but I assumed you would need help. And I'm more than happy to distract some of the more inappropriate people who you look very familiar.
00:52:39Hi, I'm Tyranny.
00:52:42Tyranny, Tyranny.
00:52:44You look so familiar. I just can't put my face on it. I may name my finger on your face. I can't put my finger on your face.
00:52:52I really wouldn't.
00:52:54You came to the gala six months ago.
00:52:59At the party.
00:53:00You did, at the museum. Do you remember?
00:53:01It was my first and only party. I don't remember much of it.
00:53:06We are well aware, because you did, in fact, manage to elude security for nearly 15 minutes before we found you, having thrown up into one of the only three remaining urns of the eyes of Kelun.
00:53:19It's all right. It's all right. Now we use it as a teaching exercise in the cleaning of antiquities.
00:53:27Oh, oh, that's great. So I helped.
00:53:30I suppose you could see it like that.
00:53:33I have, hold on, I have a thing for you.
00:53:35You do.
00:53:36I have a box. Did I give it to Octus? Where is Octus?
00:53:40Octus is here.
00:53:42Where did, where is my...
00:53:45As you look around, I think Wick and Hal, you guys descend the staircase from on high, Hal, you can see that the fullness of the gathering is here now. There are a lot of, you see some of Thiazzi's more criminal associates here. There are some arcanists and occultists in the space. A lot of neighborhood people, a lot of family friends. But the house is full, and people are coming up to the table as Tysha's dear, Hala, is standing.
00:54:14with its nose down towards the top of Thiazzi's head as he is laid out on the table, his arms crossed. You see a bunch of family friends are coming and putting brass rings and adornments on his fingers and laying brooches or necklaces across his chest. So he's being gathered up with small treasures and trinkets here on his viewing.
00:54:39Howlandil, where is my son? I have to give the box.
00:54:43Oh dear.
00:54:46You're asking me about Al?
00:54:49Um, no, no.
00:54:52The, Octus. Sorry, where is Octus?
00:54:55I've been upstairs for a little bit. I don't know. Is he here?
00:55:01No. I say as I pet your deer by my brother's body.
00:55:06You see walking in through the door a beautiful merchant woman who looks about in her early 40s, gorgeous gown made of rich imported textiles, and a young half-orc daughter with her. This is a human woman who's walking in with her half-orc daughter. She looks up at you. This is your daughter, Hero. Looks up and goes,
00:55:32Hi, Dad. Hey, dear.
00:55:36She runs over and gives you a hug. Elodie looks over and says,
00:55:39Taisha, hello. Hi.
00:55:42Ooh, I'm trying to lock in so much.
00:55:45Do you want to use the druidcraft cantrip to instantly soberize yourself?
00:55:49Yes, please.
00:55:50We're so good. It's just a bump.
00:55:54It is.
00:55:56She walks up to you. We're so good. Hi.
00:56:00Elodie goes, Taisha, hello. Hi, how are you?
00:56:04Oh, awful. Yeah.
00:56:06I'm so sorry. Were you there today?
00:56:10Yeah.
00:56:11How's Hero?
00:56:13She looks over and gives you a big hug.
00:56:16Oh.
00:56:18I'm so sorry.
00:56:20Thank you.
00:56:22How are you doing?
00:56:24It's your hero.
00:56:26You see, she goes,
00:56:28well,
00:56:30any report from my own life
00:56:34would be improperly positive
00:56:39for the events that we now face together.
00:56:43Business as well and life as well,
00:56:46and 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 your face as well.
00:56:53You see, she looks and says,
00:56:55Master Lothalia,
00:56:57it's a pleasure to see you.
00:56:59I believe I saw you elsewhere
00:57:02in the viewing gallery.
00:57:05It's good to see you as well,
00:57:08despite the circumstances,
00:57:10and, of course, I am, as always,
00:57:13at your service, the lair.
00:57:15Oh, thank you for being here.
00:57:17And neither I nor my family
00:57:20blinks at this mask,
00:57:23which to a stranger might
00:57:25set somebody back a pace or two,
00:57:28but not a wink at it.
00:57:31I'm here for whatever you need,
00:57:32including hopefully distracting
00:57:35some of the more difficult elements.
00:57:38that stays for you at this point.
00:57:41We're feeling it out.
00:57:42We're all feeling it out.
00:57:44Thank you for coming.
00:57:45Of course.
00:57:50I think, Sam, you're holding the cemetery.
00:57:53No, I don't have a good time to give it to him,
00:57:55but I guess now is a good time.
00:57:57You can absolutely stand here.
00:57:59You see that there is a beastfolk warrior
00:58:04looking over who's speaking to this orcish woman, Loza.
00:58:11You see, he looks over this,
00:58:14he's got a massive boar's head, brawny body,
00:58:17big stomach.
00:58:19He looks over, as you're holding the scimitar,
00:58:21he looks over and goes,
00:58:23Oh! The Aussie's sword, nice!
00:58:25Oh, right, right, right, right, of course.
00:58:27Tyranny, Tyranny!
00:58:28Hey, hey, are you still in trouble?
00:58:30No, 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,
00:58:43not the spark with poison.
00:58:46No.
00:58:47Remember, but.
00:58:48But you did cloud the spark with poison.
00:58:49Yeah, okay, okay, okay, wait, listen.
00:58:51Everybody here, everyone here is drinking,
00:58:54and so I kind of feel like because people don't really want you here.
00:58:56Tyranny, I'm going to cast Thaumaturgy
00:58:58and yell three times my normal volume.
00:59:00Tyranny!
00:59:01Tyranny!
00:59:03Be still.
00:59:04Mm.
00:59:05Yes, Radiance.
00:59:07I'm going to read some hints.
00:59:09You can go in the corner and start reading hints.
00:59:11Through that bubbling up, bickering,
00:59:14Hal has just been looking through it at Belair
00:59:17and thinking about his brother's words
00:59:20until that voice shatters the room and I whip back.
00:59:23I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:59:27Sorry.
00:59:28I hadn't found a good time to present this to you,
00:59:31but on behalf of the Halevar family,
00:59:33please accept this, your brother's blade.
00:59:37Oh.
00:59:38Oh my.
00:59:39Well, the cute wick, that is a kindness.
00:59:53I, I...
00:59:55As the sword crosses sort of the media crucis of your home,
01:00:01it passes like over the doorway,
01:00:03or like the door is on the other side of the room.
01:00:06As the sword exchanges hands,
01:00:08a figure enters the door that knows that sword quite well.
01:00:13Matthew Mercer, do you want to come join us?
01:00:16Oh!
01:00:17Oh!
01:00:18Oh, yeah!
01:00:20Thought we got rid of Matthew.
01:00:22You can only hope.
01:00:25Glean cut.
01:00:28Yep.
01:00:29Slime.
01:00:30Slime.
01:00:31Slime.
01:00:32Yep, yep.
01:00:33Thank you.
01:00:34Aha!
01:00:35Hi, Bat!
01:00:36Hello, everybody.
01:00:37Hi, Matt.
01:00:38Let's go.
01:00:40Wait, what was his vibe coming in?
01:00:43We're about to find out,
01:00:45because we're about to find out what his vibe was
01:00:46immediately prior to coming in.
01:00:48A gleaming green and golden carriage,
01:00:55baroque and wrought all throughout,
01:00:59stylized and gilded,
01:01:01borne forward by a team of four snow-white horses,
01:01:07glides up the street,
01:01:10carriage of the Sundered House of Royce,
01:01:15seated in the back.
01:01:18A grieving widow,
01:01:22in years only of some 40-odd,
01:01:27and her gorgeous, gleaming green gown,
01:01:31bedecked with jewels,
01:01:34tears streaming down her face as she stares ahead,
01:01:38shattered.
01:01:39She holds in her hand a wedding ring,
01:01:46one she has not worn on her hand in many years,
01:01:51but has never let stray beyond her person.
01:01:55To her left, one of her oldest childhood friends.
01:02:00Matt, would you please describe your character?
01:02:02Yes.
01:02:04You see a human man,
01:02:09just about to crest into his 30s,
01:02:13lanky, compact build,
01:02:17sealed within a reinforced leather military uniform
01:02:24of House Stavinos,
01:02:26the Vassal House II,
01:02:28the Sundered House of Royce,
01:02:30in dark purples and gray with red trim.
01:02:33You see across the right shoulder
01:02:35an intricate silver-metal pauldron,
01:02:38and the other shoulder itself
01:02:40hidden within a dark green short cape
01:02:43with intricate designs of vine and flower
01:02:47sewn through it.
01:02:50Himself, a very stern, stoic look
01:02:54as he stares into the opposite side of the carriage,
01:02:57his long, heavily curly black hair
01:03:01tumbling past his shoulders,
01:03:03his other hand resting on his knee
01:03:05while his sheathed rapier sits on his left hip
01:03:08as he rides in the carriage.
01:03:12Staring forward,
01:03:16Aranesa is falling apart beside you.
01:03:21It's hard to tell in this moment
01:03:25compared to someone openly grieving
01:03:28how Julian is doing.
01:03:32We move back to the gallery,
01:03:35viewing the execution.
01:03:41Looking down,
01:03:43you sit next to an empty seat.
01:03:50You're not sure, back in the carriage,
01:03:52whether Aranesa saw Thiazzi's final moments or not.
01:03:58Her seat was empty beside you,
01:03:59though you knew that she was not far away.
01:04:05So with that amount of privacy,
01:04:08what was Sir Julian Davinos thinking
01:04:10as he watched the final moments of Thiazifang?
01:04:13He sits, arms crossed, in his chair.
01:04:20Looking down from his elevated,
01:04:22noble box view of this execution.
01:04:26His hair tumbled past one half of his face.
01:04:34The faintest little grin peeks at the corner of his mouth.
01:04:38His mouth.
01:04:42And that's all.
01:04:46As the body dangles,
01:04:49nobles around you,
01:04:52rise,
01:04:54and you see a hand slaps on your back
01:04:59from a noble of a house
01:05:04that fought under, you think, the Hale of Vars.
01:05:08It's an older gentleman
01:05:09who slaps you.
01:05:10You think it may be from the Maltaire
01:05:12or the Ejerion family.
01:05:13He just slaps you on the shoulder and goes,
01:05:16They should have let you do the honors, eh?
01:05:21Unfortunately, such honors
01:05:22are not given to those who deserve it, my friend,
01:05:24but there is further glory to have regardless, yes?
01:05:30Well, for the hero of the Battle of Maharlane Falls,
01:05:33the man who brought the Yossi Fang to heal,
01:05:38you'd think they'd let you.
01:05:41It's an honor, Julian.
01:05:43Jacques, Jacques Maltaire, it's a pleasure.
01:05:47Jacques, and he takes his hand
01:05:48and kind of holds it,
01:05:49and just holds it steady
01:05:50as he makes his eye contact directly.
01:05:54It has been quite some time,
01:05:56and with time some things are forgotten.
01:05:59We'll see you later,
01:06:00we'll see you later.
01:06:01I've forgotten.
