Hello and welcome back to RingerQuest, a role-playing adventure on the Ringer podcast network. I am your host and game master Steve Alman, and we're back again for another rocking episode of RingerQuest. It's going to be a direct continuation of the last episode that you saw. And guess what? It was a lot sooner than last time. So when we last left our heroes, they were just entering the Black Rose tavern. They were assaulted in the night by... Oh my god. Come on, bro. Okay, well, I mean too much into that. Come on, man. It's a tough, it's a tough ringer. That's the Queen. We never played the head point. They found themselves in the city and a kind of unwelcome reunion for ODATI Tibido.
And we are now entering the Black Rose tavern. It's now pretty welcoming that you can see. But let's enter the threshold and enter the Black Rose tavern. Wonderful. All right. Cool. So, you enter the Black Rose tavern. It's actually surprisingly clean, beautiful even. Okay. Very black, very elegant table. The elegant tables. Very what, Steve? Black painted elegant tables. He said it. Steve was thinking about to sell them. Steve was like, it was very clean, very beautiful even, very black, freaky ass. Surprisingly eloquent. Her name was... Her name was... Her name was... Name, Laquisha. Yeah. Very like upscale. Like, you hear music, but it's... What kind of music? All right. Roll for a rat. Yeah. It's all three. So it's three.
It's not good, rat. Yeah. They got big shone about it. It's not a place you have to go. It's not a place you have to go. It's not a place you have to go. It's the first clean and articulate tavern. Yeah. It's very well-made. It's very well-made. Take a break. He can't. All right. It's surprisingly upscale. Why does it got to be a black rose? That's my question. Why do you have black rose? That's crazy. You know, because there's danger. I like to think. That's hard. Steve, I thought the fuck I'm talking about. Get him off you Steve. Right. They started to ask you, say, why gotta be a black rose, say, because it can't reach. Oh my gosh. Is there a white rose tavern that went out of line to be a... I think so. Tight up. We give him a lot of me during the break. We'll say that. A lot of me during the break. As you enter the tavern. Guys. I'll give him a second. Oh my goodness.
As you enter the tavern. A few things catch your eye. There is a beautiful bartender polishing a glass that's somehow already clean. There is a hooded figure playing cards in the corner. There's a bar playing very elegant music on stage, but the place isn't rowdy. There's about 30 people in this place. It's not too full, but it's just occupied enough. And there are... There's a smattering of people that are talking and chatting. And what would you like to do? Is the bartender hot? How about the... Yeah, you already know. We're all wondering. This is the bartender hot. Oh yeah. Oh. Absolutely. Okay, great. I would like to see Jomi and Mallory battled to sit in the bar. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Who said anything about that? Is it a Rochambo? Who said anything about that? Let's see.
We're all family. We're all family. That kind of thing. That kind of thing? We'll join. We'll approach the bar. Here's what it is. We go to the bartender. We see whoever they're feeling. If it's me, I need the love. If it's you, I'm throwing you the love. It's teamwork, baby. We don't have the love. Let's get our minds out of the gutter. I feel like we should go to the bartender and be like, Hey. What do you know about her daddy? You've seen anything out of the ordinary. Yeah, man. Just to let you guys know. I get all of this stuff. I'm very uneasy, man. I don't want these people to recognize me, man. Well, you're dressed as an assassin. We should probably focus on this. The warrior. We should probably focus on this. But bartenders are like a great source of information. Yeah, they already know the whole thing. They're talking about everybody who's coming and going for a beverage. Do you think anyone noticed the bag of body parts that we were dragging with us? Oh, were you still dragging? Go drive back a party party party? Yeah, we have to. Yeah, there are. There are. There are. Okay, all right. It's our cover. It's going to put him in like a luggage. Yeah, a lot more. Yeah, rewind. When you get into the bar, there's like another like,
now we've got a guy that comes in. Another like 10 foot tall muscle bound orx. I'm checking the bag. Is it actually leading? Would you like to check your bag, miss? Nice voice works, Steven. I don't know who that is, but who you? Yes, I would like to check this bag. Please, don't not open it. And if it starts dripping blood, will you just put a towel underneath it or something like that? You know what's happened. You're in. I don't ask any questions. We'll take that for you. There you go. Oh, interesting. Thanks. All right. Now let's listen. I would like. I want to know what talier things we should do. Oh, man, I'm about to fuck shit up in this in this place. Who's got answers? What are you trying to do? Talk to the bartender. Yeah. You talk to the hot bartender. So who wants to talk to the hot bartender? All right. I got a 17. I'm already rolling up on it. Literally, what do you know? What have you seen? All right. So are you literally just walking up to a bartender and saying, what do you know? Oh, if you say, you see me out. Yes. Yes.
I'm going on. All right. But I feel like I just can't just tell you something. A little more time. You ever see how to do it? Huh. You ever see how they do it in the movies? They walk up and they play it real cool. And then they say, hey, what's going on? What goes on around this town? And you got to get the bartender in with a little charisma. And then you got to hit him with the question. Okay. So my father needs every little asthma. Who's coming up to this bar to talk to? I rolled a seven. Is there a tallie as a 16 charisma? What's three? I got a 19. I'm losing the shit out of this. She in minus two. Oh, she comes up to you. She looks up. This is a. Hey, girl, how you living? This is an Elvis woman. She's polishing the glass. An Elvis woman. Oh, man. Is she? Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Pointy years. What's her name? We got to focus on a mission. We got to focus on a mission. So she looks at wishing. Gosh, you girl. Come over here. I got to know. No. No. She. Wait. She's in the bartender. She's in the bartender. I'm a lady. I can say you.

Listen, you had a your business. I had
my business, but I'll be back in a 90 minutes. Yeah. And I know, and we can, we can go to another bar. Okay. Go to your place. We can figure it out. But I'll see you. I gotta go to the bar.

So the charisma role. Yeah. Okay. You can, again, you can just talk to somebody. We can hypnotize. Okay. Hey, whoa. There's a two mean he's like, it drools on you and you're like, I mean, it's not like catastrophic. But like, you know, I have to see what he tries to do here. Okay.

I'm here. I'm new. I'm not sure the way that it works. There is some business. I might be conducting here. What kind of places this? Who comes in and out of here? If I needed to learn something, who would I talk to? Okay. And she's a little uneasy. She brushes the pile of 200 gold back to you. And she's like, keep the money. Keep the drink. I think the person that
you want to talk to is corn over there in the corner. Corn over there. Corn. The guy with the cards. Got the cards. Got the cards over there. You're going to want to talk to him. I don't know what this is, but let's not worry about that. Thank you very much. I apologize for my friend. All right. Which one? Which one? I thought Leo did a great job. Um, all right. So now we have to go talk. I don't know, but I don't want to talk to corn. You don't want to talk to corn? I think right with. So he's so like, if I talk to corn, the person that you're coming up on, like, who did figure he's just like kind of like doing some like little card, like tricks by himself. Like he's just like doing like a little solitary thing. Like he's buying loads of these. He's not bothering anybody. I talked to whiskey real quick. Okay. Whiskey. I can't go talk to this guy. Yeah. You know, like, like, Leo, we're going to lose Leo in 90 minutes when he takes the bartender out to the hotel. Yeah. I can't, I can't go talk to this guy. You need to talk to this guy. This guy might make me if I go over there and talk to him. So I can't risk it. Can't risk it. Guess what? I'm going to step up for you. Hell yeah. Family. Okay. So you want to, you want to approach corn? I'm walking
forward. Okay. In one hand, I have scotch supported in the baby Bjorn. Yes. In the other, I have my spell book. Okay. Which has four books inside of it? Uh, four, four different spells. Damn. Four spells. Yes. Okay. But I don't think I need those quite yet. Though I see how they might come in handy. Mm-hmm. I do think it is time to use detect thoughts. Okay. Oh. Let's not fuck around. Okay. We're on the clock. So what do you want to do? I want to know what this guy knows, what Kaurin and his, his cards know. Okay. So in a conversation, ask the DM, can I read their surface thoughts? Mm-hmm. All right. So first of all, you got to start a conversation with them. So how do you want to approach him? Do you want to say hello? Strike up a conversation? I'm going to ask him to deal me in. So he, so he in the midst of his like little, yeah. The little, uh, card thing looks up. Yeah. Central. Well, he actually, actually, actually, he does. Deal man, Kaurin. That's the way to go. Actually, actually, he doesn't look up because you're
three feet tall. So you have three of five, three of five, uh, three of five. Yeah. And he's like, oh, hey there. Yeah. Didn't expect anybody to join me. What's your name? Uh, my name is Rive. My friends call me whiskey. This is scotch. Yeah. Thanks for asking. Uh, I just learned that it comes in pints, you know, oh, yeah. It does come in. It comes in fellowship reference for I'm getting one. You want to get a whole kind of whiskey? Oh, wow. Can, uh, can you deal me in? Can you deal me in? What's your name? Your name's Kaurin? Yeah. You're the famous Kaurin. I heard about you over there. I heard about you over over the land. Oh, the people that tend to learn about me want to want to make some money. You hear to make some money? Oh, I'm always here to make some money. Have a seat. Take a seat. He deals you in basically. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to give you like a variation of like blackjack, basically, that you guys are going to play. Okay. And where's the rest of the party? Like, can they give me? I mean, thanks for what you guys want to
do. You guys want to hang out? This is going to basically be like a one. We're going to do the bar probably. Um, he's laying in the cut, probably just taking the string. Can Max transform into a bat and purchase my shoulder to give me like bat advice? I mean, okay, we'll have a quick wisdom check up here. Me? I mean, either whoever wants to consider transforming into a bat. Oh boy. Someone. Okay. Well, you look around and you're like, maybe being a bat, maybe changing from a person into a bat into a crowd full of people is a good idea. That. So you transform it. So you were a person that was standing at a bar and then poof, you become a bat. Okay. Um, okay. I guess I got a. Yeah. Oh, wow. All right. Great. Nobody notices. Great. Great. Amazing. Nobody notices. What do you want to do as you're a bat? Perch on whiskey shoulder. Thank you. Okay. So as you're sitting down, a bat like your back to your shoulder. Yeah. And just like, and then the corn's like, whoa, Jesus Christ.
Don't worry about it. Corn ears. Yeah. Uh, I see you got a cat. So I guess you're you're one of those animal types. I know what that means. All of the creatures of the realm are my type. All right. Cool. All right. Well, whatever. So, so he's on face. So he's like, all right. So what do you, what do you, uh, what do we care to make money off of today? Hmm, information. Currency of information is what I'm after. Okay. Secrets. What can you tell me about Larry the first king Larry? How's his rule going? Is that right now? And he's okay. Interesting. Um, he considers that. No, no, he considers that. He's like, you don't know how to hear like Larry's rule going. Yeah. Yeah. How's King Larry doing right now? It hasn't been state of the realm. So you haven't been around lately. I'm a first known. So, you know, a trip to the big city. I'm no intel. It's a milestone for me. Uh-huh. And you know, what I always
try to do first is learn about a place and learn about its people so that I know how to make the most of my experience. I'm a traveling. I'm a traveler and I'm a citizen of the world. Well, yeah, the story is one thing. The truth is another. Oh, the truth costs money. Time to use as a tech thoughts on you. Okay. Whiskey focuses on the minds around her and can read the surface thoughts of a creature she can see within 30 feet. Great news. Okay. You're like four feet away. Great. And I have dark fish. Great. I really need to put you guys a more darker. 61 feet away from you. I can learn about emotional state reasoning. What looms largest in. Okay, great. I can learn what looms largest in this person's mind. And I think after asking about King Larry and the state of play in the land, the thing that would lose largest in in uh, Koran's mind, as you just said, is the story's one thing. The truth is another thinking subconsciously about what the truth is. And now I'm going to know that I'm going to be able to glean that with detect thoughts. Okay. What's the truth? Okay. So as you detect his thoughts, basically like the things that pop up in your mind are
it feels like you're like pulling like a cloud out from like like a like the sky to like reveal like a picture. And the things that is inside of his mind is like he's thinking about if he's going to be found out or made or discovered because there's the like a prevailing thought he's just like, oh god, another person asking me about him. Hmm. Oh boy. Why is it going to like this better not come back to me? Like it was very clear that it wasn't supposed to come back to me. Okay. King Larry definitely hired this dude. So you like the assassin. So you can tell that he is worried. There's no like real information that you can glean from it. But there's more about the fact that he now knows that you must know something that you're not supposed to. Okay. Can I unbat? Okay. You also don't know his thoughts only only Ryan knows this. Okay. So I need to excuse myself
and update the group. Well, you're going to get up right. Well, you don't want to. You don't want to give up. Yeah. You want to try it. How long does the text thoughts last? Does it not say one minute? One minute. So I can learn more. You can. But you can. So you can ask a question. Yeah. The truth is. Malorie. Yes. Small piece. Did you see the dead zone? Did you see the dead zone? The movie the dead zone? Yeah. So in the dead zone, he shakes somebody's hand. He touches them. Yeah. He just gives like one image. Yeah. And then he's like, oh, he shakes. What's his hands at the end? And he sees the mushroom cloud. He's like, this guy's going to fucking become president of the world. So then right after that one image, you got to make a snap decision after about what you do. Okay. But I have a minute. So I can ask more questions. See more images. Then I can use my. I can talk to small beasts. I can very quickly pass that along to Max and bathroom who can go and form the party. Yes. Wonderful. And I don't have to blow up our spot by getting up from the car. Okay. So you got to keep asking him questions. I'm in the back. So he's so he's always like, all right. So where's one thing? Truth is another that the truth usually costs money. How do you actually respond? What's the truth? And then you
think what you just thought. So that's where we're like, oh, it's better not come back on me. And I think you have to find a graceful exit from the situation. What do I want to ask about? I want to ask about O'Datty, but how? How to ask about O'Datty without asking about O'Datty, right? What is the current state of the succession? Larry's succession. Yes. Who's currently in line to inherit the throne here in this great metropolis? No, not at all. Not at all. You know, I'm a researcher. Knowledge is my passion. So I like to I like to learn about current events and also history so that I can best appreciate the lands that I'm currently at. Yeah, can you give me a performance check with that? Because like it's not a lie, but like you're trying to like obfuscate like 14 14. Yeah. And what should I be adding? Okay, no, no, no. And it's just going to pop in your head. You don't have to want it to. Right. It's just going to pop into your mind of the I've moved the cloud away. The portrait. What's the truth?
It's like, well, my business isn't exactly knowing who the successor is, but more so what the successor wants. Okay. What is the way? What's the way? It's this isn't something that you're polishing to say to me. This is just your. The thoughts in his mind are are Jimisin better not have screwed me. Jimisin? Yes. Okay, tell me. And Jimisin. Jimisin better not have screwed me. And and if the end if and if this run knows what I'm supposed to do, what are you? Then I shouldn't have come into this town in the first point. Okay, I'm going to commune with small b's. So I'm passing that along to Max. Max is going to go to the bathroom where Odadi is taking a piss and update him because Jimisin is a name he's going to know. Oh, daddy. We don't have a spell where we could just like freeze this is my fucking
taking with us. But the problem is the whole power is full of the right work. And all the things. The whole power is full of the power. Oh, daddy. Does it mean? Does it mean Jimisin me something to you? It's my uncle. That's your uncle. Well, it's not my uncle. It's my it's life. It's it's Larry Blightburn's brother. Step on. Okay, Jim. So it's your uncle. Yeah. Yeah. It's uncle. Yeah. I mean, he's not my real uncle, but like the mom. Oh, no, excuse me. Yes. This is my beloved father's brother. This is my deceased father's brother. Jimisin. Are you guys cool? What's the what's the vibe there? Thought we were. All right. I'm leaving the bathroom. I'm going to go get the bag of body parts from the coach. Out of that form. We need to find Jimisin. Or are you going to make up as a bad to the. No, I'm coming back up dressed. This is the assassin with the bag of body parts. Okay. Now it seems like my bitch asked uncle. Have my dad killed and then knew that that was going to make me leave. Yeah. And that he was responsible for Larry coming to power. Well, what do you
actually know about that information? Like you just say you just know a name. She has to come talk to me. Well, no, but she talks to him. Yeah. I told Max Max told. I'm just gonna come me like daddy. All right. So you're still at the table. Yeah. How do you want? Like, how do you want to go? Well, this is like you got one more question to read us. But if you bring him to bodies, come back to me and tell me quickly what oh daddy told you and let's one is our last question. Do you plan to do that? This is a bit like two meta. No, no, no, no, super not meta. Do it. That's right. What's for me? Bad again. What's our final question after you've you learned now that history, the family history watch so I now need I know that now. Yes. And we are going to ask and what is what are your daddy told you to say ask this? What do you want to know about Jimmison about Jimmison? I want to know why in the hell is this guy working for Jimmison? I thought Jimmison when I left when I left Jimmison begged me not to leave and told me that it would be dooming to the entire realm if I left. I thought he was what if what if this guy is working for
Jimmison trying to assassinate Larry? What did he do on our side? He could be he could be trying to remove Larry to clear the path to the throne for you or that could have been a cover of 15 years going he wanted you gone the whole time. Right. So we need to know how Jimmison what was his mood when you left and you were no longer there. We're grateful. Oh, when I left he tried talking me and saying. But then when you actually left, how did he behave? Didn't talk to him. Haven't talked to anybody from here for 15 years. He's told you this you've come back. You've whispered it to me as a bat. We still have cloud vision. Uh-huh. This is this is actual. Yeah. And Jimmison. Jimmison. Jimmison. No free ads. No. I named him after Reverend TJ Jimmison from Banrooch. Oh, well. And Jimmison. Yeah. How did he respond to the air to the throne? All right. Potatty to the down. Yeah, where's my name? He's like. I'm leaving town. Where my dad is. I'm going to fight. I don't recall saying Jimmison. Oh, we fucked.
You did. You said it. It was a cloud thought. What did I say? I say that. He hasn't done anything. He hasn't done anything. He's like a little freaked out at the moment. I can use the abyss answers. What's the point? The party needs chaos back up or terrifying distractions. What? That's one of my new powers. Okay. Okay. Okay. Corrin says this and he's like. Look. I'm like, I told you I was really sure. I read that name in the tombs when I was preparing to come to the tombs. Performance check. That's a lie. Great cover. Great cover. Tom's. Tombs. He's got to know if he believes that big. Big buddy. Big buddy. Big buddy. Big buddy. Big buddy. Big buddy. 10. What? So your charisma? Oh, shit. Well, that's a negative. That's a negative too. Yeah. All right. So listen, eight. I think that's enough to at least not die. Okay. So here's the thing. So the fact that you pulled a name out of his mind and doesn't really know it's like he's more freaked out than
anything else. Yeah. I want him on edge. But he's more freaked out. The fact that like he doesn't know who you are or the fact that you know what's going on in his head or like can know his business.

So we're going to get them while everybody's out there. Well, they're going to scatter. Okay. Yeah. It's a fire. Okay. So you were going to start a fire. Well, how do you want to do this? Do you want to do this like on the slide? Or do you want to just like make a Molotov cocktail and like throw it in the middle of the bar? Can you describe the room to me again? Really quickly. Okay. So there's like 12 tables, circular tables. Yeah. Very black. Very black. Very, very, very black. All of music goes with like, again, 30 people in the bar in total. Are they like bands? Is there silverware? Is there silverware on the table? Yes. Are there paintings? Yes. I'm using heat metal to heat all of the silverware on the table until it's flaming hot. And all the tables burst into flame. Okay. Now, do you, does that spell say that you can heat everything that's metal in the room or one thing that's metal in the room? Okay. Just one thing.
Okay. What's the biggest metal thing in the room? Okay. So perception check real quick. Okay. Listen, it's a nine, but that's not bad. All right. So even with a nine, you can see like this really big like coat of arms that's right behind the bar. And it's like a big shield and two swords with an insignia of a rose and some daggers inside of it. It's like adorned across like a wooden mantle piece. Yeah. And it's right. And it's just like right behind the bar. Yeah. I'm gonna go burn that thing. Fantastic. Okay. So you cast heat metal on that coat of arms. Yeah. So it Leo get ready. And so it glows like red hot. Yeah. And the metal begins to melt and course through. Hold on one second. Okay. Wow. You're. So it like it starts to burn and melt and the wood starts to catch on fire. Correct. And slowly it starts to get a little bit bigger.
And the people at the bar start to realize that it is catching on fire. Correct. And there are some people that are freaking out now and beginning to leave. Yeah. There's like a little bit of chaos is like, hey, somebody put that out and like they start to get buckets. Yeah. And they start to throw water over it because from outside. And the fires put out. Suns. I'm stepping in. But here's the thing. You notice that I have mine has left. I left. That's all we need. But amazing. You got to find him. Well, Tally and Leo were tracking the whole time. Yeah. Okay. We're there. Yeah. Absolutely. They can see. Okay. They follow him outside. They follow him outside. Yeah. I'm going to hold on that. That. Yeah. Put your back outside. The back. Oh, that's a bad. We outside. We outside. So it's just you and him. Yeah. And then everybody, you guys are still in the bar. Right? Yeah. Okay. So I'm in the bathroom. Okay. How are you going to be the bathroom?

Low. All right. So you guys are outside. You guys are able to corner-coron. Do you want to start a fight? Or do you want to like immediately like intimidate him and interrogate him? What you want to do? Well, we go like we put we knock. We can't tell them that we're going to create. We will kill him. But if you want to leave, if you want to walk away from this, we're going to need every single bit of information. All right. So how do you want to come up on him? You want to like like stick them with like put some like put a guy inside. Yeah. You got to put a dagger to his throat. All right. Got it. All right. Well, for that. So no, no, no, you got to. So this is going to be like a grapple check. So like you're going to you're going to come up behind him, grab him and then put a knife to his throat. So he's going to try to like escape that grapple check. That's an immediate survival instinct. So roll a grapple check. What did you get?
Plus your strength. Oh, shit. Plus your strength. That's tough. That's my strength. Hold on. It's got to be competing. So I got to roll for this. I wrote a three and I don't have shit. Any strength. Okay. Leo. Okay. You do always. Tollia's up to you now. Strengths right next to Constitution. At the top. Oh, it's right there. Oh, no, zero. Zero. Okay. Great. Tough. Oh my god. He rolled the one. All right. Wasn't my son to save. But he got to know Leo. This is what we got there. He's immediately in a chokehold. He's got a nice story. He's like, oh, fuck. Okay. What do you want? What do you want? What do you want? Listen, um, I'm going to tell you some names and you're going to give us information. All right. Jim. What do you know? Jim is in the video. Yes. Who is that? That's that's the brother of the the queen magistrate of here. Right. And what is did he try to have some people killed?
Yeah. Yeah. He hired me to get to get to get that done. And like he told me to hire my worst guys. Worst guys. Worst. Yeah. I don't know why he said that. It's a trap. Oh, no. It's very clear. We get trapped. To fucking go through the telep... God damn it. So he wanted us to kill these guys. So he followed the trail to come back here. What a fucking bitch. Okay. Interesting. Uh, does Larry, uh, not Fishburn know about this? I don't know. I'm assuming so. He wanted O Daddy dead for years. So wait a minute. If you wanted... Okay. Okay. I'm just going to come out. No, no, no. We're filming. No, no, no. He was like, why wouldn't James Johnson just kill O Daddy? Yeah. Why would he say this worst guy? Well, he said this worst guy. So it's a trap. Well, why would he just send his best guys? I'm fucking sleep. No, no, no, no, no. He wants all of us. He wants you alive. Why does he want O Daddy alive? I don't know. Ask him.
Where is he? Where is he? He's in the bathroom. Not oh, oh, Daddy's in the bathroom. No, James is in the bathroom. Oh, come back to the bathroom. Oh, my God. That actually was exciting. I was really, really. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I was really good. Wow. Oh, my God. I'm chill. Oh, Daddy, you feel a hand on your shoulder on the urinal. He was trusted. It was a good thing. He was rude at the yearning. You guys. I'm legitimately nervous. And he's like, I catch you in the bathroom again, son. Wow. And it is your uncle, Jimicin, tip it up. Okay. He's like, I catch you in the bathroom again. After all these years again, like, the part that you must be. Well, Uncle, just like then, it seems like to me that the bathroom is the safest place to be.
Well, it better be. You got nothing to say to me? I was actually expecting you to have something to say to me, being that it seems pretty obvious that you sent some dead slap dicks to try to kill me and my friends. So my question is, what the fuck is wrong with you? Yeah. Those slap dicks that I sent you are people that I knew that you could handle. I taught you how to fight since you were 10 years old. All right. And how and and I take it. They seem to give you some trouble. Yeah. A little bit of trouble. And I would think that if you loved me that welcoming me back would involve helping me find my mom and say hello to everyone and maybe having a couple of drinks with a couple of animals. All right. Okay. Again with the animal thing. I know that that's why you left. I know. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to get about the fucking animal. You never see me. You never really. All right. You never saw me as you never gave me the opportunity to love the
animals that I love and I had to leave. It's hard to kill. This is getting wild. Oh my goodness. Get you and your fucking friends into the corner booth. I got a private room. We're going to talk about why should I trust you because your mother's in peril. Oh. Okay. And I needed you to come back. You could just send a ribbon. I sent those. I knew that I sent those. It is because you're fucking stepfather wants you dead. And I was assigned to do it. So the reason that I sent a bunch of idiots to do it is because I know they wouldn't fucking kill you maintain the cover. And the only way to get you back here is to try to threaten your life apparently because we try to reach out to you and you never fucking call back. So anyway. Welcome back. Well, tell you this. I'm going to go out and get my friends. But I want to let you know something. I want to let you know something. So I hope you're talking to me like this. I hope you're talking to me like this. I hope you know this. We have a vampire. Yeah. We have a forest known. Right. We have the baddest
mother fuck in the whole world. You never seen anybody like that. We have myself and we have Leo. Right. So the moment. The Leo is also here. We are. So the moment that any of this doesn't pass our smell test. Right. We are going to fuck you up. Fuck him up and fuck everybody up that we think is in on this. Look, it's fine. I'm in a moment of desperation here. All right. Yes. I have to like it. What is that? Let's go to need. I need to tell you something. All right. All right. And like you and like roll a sense motive here. Yeah. That's it. What did I say? It's 18. It's an 18. Yeah. So you can clearly tell that like
you've seen this look on him before. It's genuinely earnest. Like he's not trying to fuck with you. Like he did what he had to do. You can tell that. I have whiskey. But you have a lot of questions. Yeah. Of course. Okay. So you guys. Do you want to like gather everybody else? I got to go with everybody. So you gather everybody else. You come back into a private room that's like near the back. Are we still got jibbasa? I mean, what do you want to do with what you mean? Karin? No. No. Oh, Karin. Yeah. Sorry. We still have a knife. We have. Okay. We have enough. Okay. We're gonna solve that. We're gonna solve that. Back outside. Please. That's a great question. Where's the hot bartender? She actually is about to like walk out on her shift and she and she. So you got a knife. You got a knife to a guy's throat. And she's like, Hey, uh, is your name Leo? Is your name? What are you doing? I thought you were. Hey, don't worry about that. Listen, um, I got some business. I got to attend to. Is there like, actually you're holding a man's like, yeah, is that an address or a ring? Is this the record? We have a last time too. There's also a record. Reach you where we know what the she she she scrolls like. She gets like a little bit of parchment like scrolls or address.
I think it's a favor. Fossil your way. And she's like, she's like, I got nothing. In time after eight. I will. I will hit you later. Let's do the corner. Bus. Sorry. Are you? Wait. So hold on. Are you letting this Karin guy go? No, no, no. I'm with him. I got her number. We going back to the we. I'm with Karin. So he's coming to the booth with us. Coming to the booth with him. Yes. Okay. So you're walking into the bar with a man with a man like, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. You got to tell him. No, no. No. Are you fucking nuts? No. Like, wait, we got to keep him with us because we got to know the fees. We can't bring him back into the bar gunpoint. Can't do it. Everybody's still in the bar. People are going to know me. Jomi. We can't do that. I'm getting pissed. We got to we got to bring him in there. We have to bring Jimis and Alton. We have to have the dagger to his neck. Yeah, we can't not bring him in there. We lose all cooked up. I think the good. We have to verify the information. So either. Okay. Okay. So yeah, not to his throat. Yeah, not to go. Okay. To the rim. So if I'm hearing this right, you are going to walk him back into the bar with like a knife to his
cry. Any move like like hide the fact that he is being waiting. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. What we should do is we should send me back in to the corner booth alone. And we should then put it to Jimis and if he really wants to have this conversation, he should come outside. Yeah. And then when he comes outside, so you're going to. Okay. So what you want to do is actually you're changing the location and you want to go. I'm going to go to the corner booth alone and I'm going to put him to the test now because if he's sincere, if he'll come outside, when he comes outside, he'll see his guy who know we fucking mean. We very recently were attacked in our own bedroom. In some happy, happy corners. We can't like conduct business on someone else's turf. We can't do it. We need to leave it. Okay. So you're you're taking this. You're taking this out outside. You tell everybody else the whole party is coming outside. Yes. We're all on edge and there's a new hot bartender. So I got us some wings. So everybody can calm down. We can have some lemon pebble. Yeah. Right. So you come out with wings. I have wings. Yeah. And you're eating. Well, everybody, you know, you're doing like a rusty from Ocean's 11. Can I can I snack on corn? Yes. Have a little. You have to verify. We have
to corroborate their stories. No, no. I think it's actually scary for him. If he walks outside, and he sees and he sees his man, I think my skin. You would be. Yeah. Okay. So just a little sip. You as long as you still answer questions. Yeah. Jimisin comes out. The whole party comes out. I can stop anytime with. Corin with a knife to his back. This is I'm assuming away from the bartender that standing or the the bouncer that standing outside. I'll say the bartender's gone. I got this is like in the alley behind. Bouncer. So everybody comes out. You guys are in the alley. You've got Corin by the throat. Yeah. Jimisin's here. And he's like, okay, you can let him go. He's just a patty. What do you? Like what's this about? And I can for really him, right? Oh, you know, he don't know nothing. I mean, I just I just hire him to hire his worst guys. That's it. He doesn't know anything. But can we trust him to be released into the wild? What if he says? No, let me friends out in town. Let's let him. All you got to do is buy their. I don't know if we should just murder everyone. I think we can let him go. What if we at least tie him up for the duration of our business in town?
I'm using a whole person on him for right now. There you go. You want to hold perfect? We can't let him go. Go gossip. Yeah, I'm stupid. Jimisin is not running the show. Also here. Okay. Remember this is this is my home. No, no, no, are we coming back with a whole bunch of fucking mentality? Can we write them for real? Hey, listen, yeah, you can roll them intimidate them. Roll to do you mess around? You get the fangs. Nine. That's a nine plus plus your charisma. Nine plus charisma plus two eight eight. Okay, and what do you want to say to him? Listen, what the fuck? We not go. She want to eat her bag. What just happened? I can't do it. It's not eight. What? Oh, nine is eleven. I can tell you. I shouldn't have agreed with that. Yeah, I know. No, no, no, no, we got to see. We got to see. We got to see. It's an 11. How many sheep is everyone? My good too many needs. Let's see. Want to eat you? Yeah. I want to keep you alive. Here's the plan. You I even hear a whisper that you talk to anybody about this lunch. Yeah.
She'll do it. It's the thing. It's all fair. Roll also do intimidate for that for you. A million six plus charisma. Oh, off the charts. Off the charts, baby. That's what? Yeah. You know, yeah, plus three. Nine. Okay. Okay. Like, so it's more than a standard shitting himself. He is terrified. Like, regardless of all this, I'm gone. You will never see me again. Do you let him go? Yeah. He immediately runs off as fast as he does. So you're standing here with Jim. We're going to see him again. We're going to regret letting him go. We're going to see him again. We're going to regret letting him go. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So Jim is saying, all right, you ready? Are you ready to listen to me now? Yeah. To which I find it. Yeah. It's talk your shit. Listen. You're stuck. I remember. Who's this? Huh? Who's this? Tell me this. Tell me. All right. Jim's got a lot of attitude. That's all of you. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. That is a great. That's a great one. That's
a great one. That's my friend. I'm your blood. Yeah. I've seen you in a long time. And you sent somebody to try to kill us. Don't talk about our friends. Give us the fucking spiel. Oh my god. Oh my god. Friends. All right. Jim. You're stupid. Yeah. You're stepfather. He's been on a tear. Not only has he been ruling this city, but he's trying to effectively change it forever. I don't know how. But it's not some like politics is one thing. It's not a nation of power is one thing. Oh, the people are in this. The unmaking of something. It feels like that's what what's going on here. How's he trying to change? He's like a raza gul like. Oh, Gleegus. That would be a striking effort. It feels like whatever he wants. Are we? It's more than redlining. It's it feels like an unmaking of a town that you grew up in.
Jennifer. The only thing that he feels threatened by is what he's calling the old blood for some reason. The whole and I can only assume that that's you because you're the only one that has acclaimed to this city left. Right. Since you don't care about that anymore, I've got to bring you back because your mother's in danger. She's not herself. She's not she's not lucid. She's not the same that she's been in use. Is this like a say it in being like a grimoire or something like actually under I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's going on. No, my. Oh boy. When you say you're not you're not yourself. Is she thinking straight is she? No, she's not there. It's not her. Oh boy. She doesn't talk about you. She doesn't talk about the things that such a tragedy for the kingdom. Okay, quick, quick family meeting. That doesn't you're in stopping the story. Do he scurry and help your mom directly?
Or do we go do that batcave thing we were supposed to do? Oh, it's tough. Well part of me right now, I kind of want to pull in oceans 11 is sneak in. Yeah, at save old daddy's. Well, we got a plan. We could plan it. And we need to plan it. The back well, Talia, you make a good point. You say that. He's hosting a ball tomorrow. And isn't a costume ball. Can I bring some? How did you know that? fancy dress. He is host. He's inviting every powerful family. We'll ask if he could bring someone. They're close. We like you're taking your eye off of a boy. We got them. We got them. We got the thought. They're a plus. We're gonna keep that thought. If we add to be it a plus one, he's inviting every powerful family in the city. He wants to consolidate as much power as he can and get everyone to whatever cause he's trying to make. I know we should do this for this town. Poisoned. I don't. I don't. You could, but you can't get in. He's got the entire city under his thumb. If he knows you're coming, he'll have all of the city on top of it. Follow question.
Operations seduce everyone with an invite. Yeah. Possibly. We got it. We need to become dates. But listen, infiltrating. We can't invite it. I say it is crazy. We can get invited. Infiltrating this compound is going to be a lot more difficult. It's changed since you've left. There are guards. There are magical staves of protection. There are too many things to come. I'm acknowledging our pivot introduction. You will need invitations. Yeah. legitimate ones. Right. Not forgery. Costumes. Well prepared magic and spells. Okay. Okay. And a good layout of how this works. When is this again tomorrow? Oh, no. They don't. But there's somebody that I know that could help you. He's one of the best foragers I know. He's a little shady and he's really difficult to work with. He's he's in the section. Yeah. His name is Bill Millman. What? Oh my god. Guys. We killed Bill. We killed Bill. We killed Bill. So like no, no, you're plastic. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second.
No, we got to let you know. You see. Here's a deal. Now listen. Now here's a deal. Here's a situation. Well, let you know something. We really tried. So here's a deal. We really tried. So here's a deal. Very difficult. Bill's dead. But just listen. But listen, I want before you get all incredulous with us, we had just come back from a really traumatic situation where our lives were hanging in the balance. Because of you. So because of you. And so you rather than send someone to communicate with us, you send someone to kill us. And so we didn't know what we were supposed to do. But Bill's but guess what guys? I have the necklace of speak with the dead. Oh my god. Let's let's talk to Bill. Oh my god. I'll stand up. So yes. Come on. You killed one of the best foragers and. Yeah. But I want to make a very big point. Hold on. He was a dickhead. Yeah. Right. And just to let you know, I'm sorry. I didn't know the criminals could be dickheads. Can't be count count. Let you know something. Just tell you something real quick. Yeah. This reminds me of what happened after the
baseball game. Like a couple of that. Remember? And like rather than like move on to try to give me like encouraging words. So like a play better than the next game. All right. All you did was get hung up and I remember. Okay. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Exactly. So I'm saying is don't make that same mistake. Yeah. Don't get my daddy dead. All right. So we can't. We can't undead him. Yeah. So I don't care how you move on. Your only your only chance is to do it tomorrow. All right. I need to get back. He's expecting you dead. I need to find some way to prove that you're dead. Do you need a bag of body parts? Because I know where you can fight one. Really? You have one? To me. Yeah. I'll take that. There's a coachek tab at the black rose tab. Which I definitely did not test that I did not burn down. All right. Okay. Let's slow down. Let's spark up a little bit. I have an idea. Spark. Why don't you want to get some long bottle back door to the castle open and we could just walk through. I will try my best. I will try to get that information to you if it has. But if you will know. Okay. If I leave the back door open for you, if I find some way to let you in.
Yeah. There will be a. There will be a green lantern lit on the south lawn. Okay. And black is day. How's handler? I would look. Yeah. All right. So to J. Getty. I'll be. Oh, Jim. If you have anything else to say to him for you. I do. I do. I have another part of the plans. Okay. This is what we should do. Right. The entire team should walk through the back door. I should walk through the front door. Yeah. Ask me. Yeah. I think this is it. You will be killed immediately. Oh, I would not do that. Jim is in was that you will be killed. So he's going to kill me in front of. So he's going to kill the lawless crown prince. He can't read the entire part. So we will kill you directly. But you will. But remember, we did know what the deal was. By the way, this is not like Jim is saying this. He's not stating facts necessarily. He knows what he knows. Hey, Jim. Yeah. If we had like a necklace that could talk to dead people,
will that be helpful inside of the situation with Bill Millen? Yeah. Probably. He's dead. Right. Let me roll. Okay. I'm not. I'm not preventing you from doing anything. You're under your green light back door help that you're going to try your best. And we're going to go talk to a dead forger, I guess. We're going to the back cave to forge a plan and talk to the dead. Wonderful. Okay. Great. So you guys go back to Bill Millen's place or we got to retrieve the body and then we go to the back. We're going to Bill Millen getting bill. Do we need to be at bills? We need his body. I mean, his body. You left his body at a shop. We have to get his body. We're getting bill. And then we're going to the back cave. Yes. Okay. So are you going to talk to him at the back? At the back. At the back. Okay. So you. All right. Okay. Don't worry about it. All right. You're asking you many questions. No, no, I'm I am. So you go back to Bill Millen's shop. You take his body. Yeah. How are you going to like over the shoulder? I don't. Okay. Just out in the open for all to see. We're going to prop him up. We can't burn. I'm going to need a performance
check from the two people that are carrying him all the way to the whole man. Ain't this in the medieval times. Don't shit like this happen all the time. I'm not sure people just walk around with bodies. Does he also have a horse and carrots? Wait, also he's a smaller guy like, hey, man, you know, we got a little too much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tucker it out. You go. I can also use my reduce. My reduce. And like someone could like put him in their pocket. I feel like this is less interesting than whatever we would do with him back at the back cave. That's fair. All right. How about this? You get him to the back. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what's the hot bartender with a horse and carrots? Like, what did she get? She went home. All right. Okay. You guys enter the back cave. Chuck. Yes. How do you remember this? Talia. Talia. How do you remember this place looking? Dead name him. What are you doing? That's like, you crazy? Like, wow. Talia, how do you fucking
I can't believe you would do that. Sorry. Dance your question. It's seen better days. The warmth of my master and his love is gone. All right. Okay. So you enter this place. So what it looks like to me is, what y'all Charles is so fucked in my head. I know. It's an old yet elegant office, littered with cobwebs, clearly in a state of decay. All right. Lots of like the wood of the desk has been like rotted for a while. Nobody's been there for quite a minute. On the desk, you see notes of papers and research and things that he would have like gone out for missions and like people that he would have been looking for. But you know that he hasn't been the midnight mage in quite some time. Yes. On the desk, you can see a little piece of parchment that might have your name on it. Would you like to read it? Oh, wait. Do you want me to read this?
Okay. Do I have to roll? No. Okay. But I'll tell you what it says. Okay. Talia from the midnight mage. No, no, you're making it up. I just believe in friendship. Right. You're awesome. You're hairless. Okay. So you don't want to know what I have written for you. All right. Page two. You can repeat. Okay. Great. Great. It's basically, hey, it's Bob. If you're reading this, I'm dead. And I've bequeased. I've bequeased you my midnight mage armor. Oh, it's the end of the dark night rises. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. And it's and it's and it's in our secret place that you can find. Oh, it's of quarter 11. Oh, my gosh. And if you and roll a perception check, roll the perception check and then the credits and then that's it. We never know. You gotta go. First of all, I have a nine. I watch it. You gotta go be Batman with nobody ever training you and like, it's like they do. Oh, very soon. Yeah. Right. Yeah. You taught you how to throw one explosion. Yeah, what? Very soon. Wait. So where's my perception? Perception. That will be under, uh, wisdom.
Under wisdom. Okay. Yeah. So after I got a nine minus one, that's like an eight. Okay. All right. So as you like observe, as you observe the, uh, like, rotted bookshelves and like very dusty trappings of like this north wall, you can still remember the spring loaded book that opens up. Hell yeah. And you pull it. And in near pristine condition. Is basically like the elegant suit of ninja. It looks fucking. Is there a ninja mobile? There's no ninja mobile. Actually, you're wrong. I just checked the garage. This is a ninja mobile. Yeah. Actually, what they have, right, they have a ninja mobile for you. And then like from the 60s, it's like a little side call. Yeah. Holy fifths one. But yeah. Um, okay. So you like the back. Now have this magic. It's mentally imbued armor. Okay. Uh, did you want to speak to
the now deceased Bill Millman? Well, I, it says I contain, it contains two daily charges of speak with the dead. Yes. So I would like to talk to Bob first to tell him I miss him. And then I will talk. Okay. Well, Bob is like long since like died in the line of duty. And like he's like, oh, do you need the corpse? Yeah. You need the corpse. The corpse isn't here. Uh, all right. Well, roll it. Wait. So I'm going to talk to Bill then. Yeah. So you don't have to roll to speak with the dead because you just automatically cast it. Okay. And basically what happens is the rest of life and intelligence to a corpse you choose within range, allowing you to answer the questions that you post. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead. Uh, the spell fails when the corpse target of the spell. Well, uh, until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages that it knew answers are usually brief, cryptic, repetitive. And the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer. Oh, God. Two ship Bill. Bill can fucking keep lying. We'll kill him. So you know that. But you want to cast it
and ask. Got to. Yeah. We still learn how to forge. We need to be able to forge the invitation. Yeah. If we need to ask simple questions about forging. How do you get? I don't know. Just questions. Does he know that we are the ones that killed him? Does Bill know that a vampire? I'm gonna go stand outside. Well, I'm saying, are we gonna have to like negotiate with him because he's fucking pissed? No, no, no, he can only answer five questions. Then after the five questions are over. He's just does he know who's asking the questions, meaning so he knows that the people who murdered him are the ones asking him for help. Likely. Yeah. So he has no incentives. Actually, what the fuck is this guy? He's somewhere in the netherworld. I have disguise self. Okay. So you want to show up like his old chick? His old chick. His old guy. He's always old guy. Whatever. You don't know who that is or what that is. He looks like. Wait, wait, him and Petra were cool, right? We can show up. You thought you had us. You fucking. She disguised himself to show up to somebody else.
This is asking questions that they wouldn't ask. Whatever. Okay. Okay. It's like, yeah, I'm disguising myself as Patrick. And he's not even gonna realize that he's being like grilled from a different plane. He's gonna think he a Patrick or just in the land of the dead together. Having a chat. All right. Amazing. Okay. So you want to do this. So this is a guy's self. And then I've got a role. But I can't. His wisdom in order to know whether or not he can see through. Okay. Great. So you cast the spell and then you're basically like you cast the spell and then you're gonna like all you guys are gonna clear out and you're just gonna be disguising yourself as Patrick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's me. I'm and you'll ask you'll ask those questions. Okay. So. Okay. You're gonna do this. Great. You cast it. You're disguised. Everybody clear out. What I'm done. As like as he is like kind of regaining consciousness like his eyes, his ears, like there's like green light emanating from his like head and chest and like he's being lifted up into life and like he's looking around as if he doesn't really know where he is.
But he's like. And then he just like settles into the room and then it's just sitting there. Okay. Yo Bill. It's me Patrick. Hello. You knew me from life. And I have some five simple questions for you. Number one. Number one. Where would I find the supplies I need to forge a royal invitation? Okay. Okay. Great. Patrick. So good to see you. So it's not an answer. Oh yeah. The the the place that we need to forge like we did in old jobs. Like that was that that's in the basement. I have the I have the wardrobe that gives you any clothes that you can desire. I've got magical staves. What do you need? I need costumes for five people to make it convincingly into a royal suahre. Do we have those?
Yes. I need supplies to forge convincing royal invitations. Do we have those supplies? Yes. They are in my desk or no they're in my drawer behind my counter. Ask about the magic that we need to get in. So you're whispering from outside of the door? Yeah, but she's got great hearing. Right. Yeah. I just want to I want to set scene. Okay. Ask about the magic that we need to get in. Like what do they say? Like I would say the castle. Until the castle. And if five uninvited people wanted to get into the castle and they had the right invitations and the right clothing, do they need any other kind of magic to get in? Usually those invitations are magically enchanted and tied to whoever is bound to them. So yes, we have those.
They are this is like a corpse. We have those just write down the name of who you want to be on the paper and you will magically be them. We have to kill five people. Three questions down. Yeah, two more questions. We have to kill five people. Yeah, and they have to have actually been invited. We need to take their place. They're going to know because of the magic. Well, couldn't we just deal there? We can't make people love. Were they actually invited? He said they have their... There's not a question I'm asking you. No, this is a hard account. It feels like we could make people up and then we can enchant them using that. Yeah, to be tied to that thing. But isn't the magic to vet that they were actually invited? Okay, hold on. We got two more questions. So this is... Ask about the guest list. Yeah. Yeah, tell me, do you have an input? Well, how does this match with that? Okay, just talk. No, we're just talking. Max, please continue. What's somebody talking just now? Patrick, are you alone?
No, it's just you and me like the old times, buddy. Great. Do you guys have a broke back switch? Shut up! Shut up! That's terrible. It's a good move. Do the five people need to be existing people on the guest list or can we make up five names and magically encode them to the invitation? You can make up five names. Okay, we have one more question because really, really make it count. Are there any holes in this plan? You could... How could this go wrong? Yeah, it's a good question. Hey, Bill. Yeah, last one for you. What's up? Looking real great, I must say, as Emma. I feel really good. I hope I'm not dead. Absolutely not. Is there any other... Any holes in this plan or any way this plan could go wrong that you could think of? Hmm. I think the best laid plans that we have had in our days of adventuring.
Yeah, classic, classic. We've had... Yeah. Yeah. We've always maintained a good cover story and make sure that when you enter the wardrobe, when you fight someone, the clothes disappear. And then he slumps the ground. Okay. All right, people. Clothes disappear. Okay, so we're getting cost used on this wardrobe, but if we fight someone, then we're naked. Not necessarily. Oh, we're just like unenchanted from whatever clothing we were wearing. Oh, do we become us? Like, rags again. We're not. We're Cinderella. People see us as our people. After one fight. After one fight. If we fight people, it's gonna be tough for us because we like fighting people. So we like to fight. He's telling us that when we fight the clothes disappear, or he's asking us to make sure that the clothes disappear. No, he's telling us that the clothes will disappear. We have to do this whole thing. We're not fighting. We got to do a clean. And that's the one unless you, or if you get no fight, you got to know that you're fighting. Tough for us, excuse me.
Okay, so by order of that plan, that means you go back to Bill Millman's house or into his shop, go and get all the supplies and then prepare for going to the ball. Uh-huh. Great. All right, so you go back to Bill's shop, you find the papers that you need, basically like, any sort of like pen that you can write with anything that you can write down, it kind of just like, glows orange with like a bit of a fit. Like as you write, like this invitation, what? We'll solve in Bill's shop. Close the supplies. Well, so when you like, like as you search, give me a perception check everybody. There's one. Damn, I got 20. Wow, that's 20. That's 20. 17. I got an eight. Four. You got a net 20. I got 20. Okay, so you thoroughly search the, uh, the basement of, uh, of Bill's shop. Next to the teleportation state, if you see like some random boxes full of, like, destroyed supplies, but you also see a wardrobe. As you look into the wardrobe, it looks as if it is a massive hallway.
Of like infinite amounts of clothes. Mm-hmm. You have found that if you simply walk into it and walk out, you are wearing somebody else's clothes. Taliyah. Oh, well, they be like properly connected to our cover stories. It seems that if whatever clothes he can imagine wearing, yeah, he is wearing. There's a magical enchantment on the space. Oh, daddy. Yes. What are you wearing to the ball? Are we going in as a group? Like, do we want to have a cover story that connects us or individuals? We need to go at his individuals as we not arouse a special. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So we go on as individuals. Can I bring in Scotch? Is this a pet friendly? It should be. Scotch gets their own costume. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay, would you like to put Scotch into the corridor and see what comes out? Absolutely. I've got that move. Okay. You get a plus or an invitation. You put him in the wardrobe. You close the doors. Yeah. You open them. He's wearing a little bow tie. Remarkable. Very tasteful. Hey. It's lovely. Hey. I walked into it and I came out looking like Zorro.
Zorro? Okay, usually Zorro fights people. So what? So what? But it's like a little arrow flint like a arrow. Well, I like the Zorro that came on when I was a kid. Okay. Yeah, black one. Zorro. Black and white Zorro. It's like him. Okay. That's how you look. That's what you know with the flares. Okay. Waste to it. You know me, man, like a little, like a little flowy, you know. Uh-huh. Some little loose. Got my chest out. Got my chain on me. Fimmy. All right. That people see it. Just some regular day. Give us something light. Everybody else? What do you wear? You're wearing like a nice cocktail dress? I don't know. I walked in and now I walked out and I look like Darth Vader with the saver. Yeah. You look like you're going to you're going to dress to a black tie ball. But it's a costume. Darth Vader. Yes, and I'm just no, no, I'm just I'm just I'm just ending to make sure that that's what you're doing. We got it. So you got a cable. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. And Max. Oh, um, I look like that scene in
Bramsoaker's Dracula work Gary O'Man. Oh, hell yeah. The top hat and the great face. The great suit. Hell yeah. Yeah. Okay. Great. He was the man in that. So, oh, wait. It's so much. This is a lot of party. Then I think I'm just I'm basically a satin knife fever. No, you're okay. So like white suit. White suit. Okay. Like the male bottles with the heels join all right. It's a disturbing movie when you rewatch it. When you when you walk and by the way, when you walk in. This is you that into that wardrobe. Yeah. The book. Basically like it. It feels as if it's shouting at you. Jesus. But when you walk out, it's silent. What was it shouting to me? Nothing. It's just screaming. Oh, that's a Jesus Christ. I'm. Can you. Can you talk here about something? No of that. Oh my god. Do you have a translation spell? The book does not shout. I would just like to say it's the first sense of strength. It doesn't audibly shout. Here. The book is not shouting. It waits. It offers answers and a voice that sound almost like your own haunting.
Um, I think that the magical wardrobe should give me an outfit that matches scotches, right? Because we're together. So that's a single bow tie. James Bond. Yeah, now I'll be naked. Other. That's right. Right, right. Yeah. No, no, okay. So it's your way. Let's taste full suit. We await your fan art. Yeah. So it takes a taste full suit. Vader, Zorro, John Travolta. Yeah. Gary Olman. Yes. I'm doing a summer, a summer suit. Like a nice. A series of ways. A series of girls. A series of girls. Why like pants? Laser. Okay. No shirt underneath. Damn. Oh, just like one right. No, no, no, no. You got the like capel and shirt like D.B. Oh, yeah. The ocean's eight. But you gotta be comfortable. I'm wearing high tops. Yeah. High tops. Okay. Great. All right. High top. T-Mod. Okay. So the clothes that you are now wearing. Basically are illusions, transmog vacations of the clothes that you are currently wearing. I have a question. Have all of you have all of your weapons on you? Is the magic armor is Taliya wearing the magic armor under the Vader suit?
Yes. Okay. Great. So everything that you have before you put you stepped into that war trip, you still have on you. But all of your weapons are obfuscated. Nobody can tell that you're carrying any of these things. But the moment that you decide to get into a confrontation, the illusion breaks. Has there ever been a cooler Russian nesting doll than a Batman inside of Darth Vader? Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Awesome. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. But this armor can't pierce my heart. It's still heartbroken over my master. A four year old master. I'm pouring one out. So you have your invitations. You have your costumes. Anything else you want to do before going? The cover store. Yes. We have cover store. We have cover store. We have cover store. So you guys are going individually or as a group? Individual. Well, we should walk individually. Should we pair up at least? Yeah, like, like each, well, you have your plus one. I do. And then we should. And then we should. Joey's got a date. Yeah. Oh, Joey, you're bringing the bartender. Are you bringing the bartender? I'm bringing the bartender. You're bringing the bartender. That sounds like a terrible idea. You have to be backfire. Too high. It's the worst idea.
You're here. I love the guys. I'll be honest with you guys. So I'll be honest with you guys. A lot of stuff is on the line here. My family stuff. I mean, are we killing Leo? He's just like. We like, he's like, we, we, we, we, we, we. He's the Christopher Waltzonti. Yeah. We love this group. He's the Jesse. Like, we, we, we, Leo got a dime. He's bringing a girl he just met last night to a very decisive moment of our life. I'm a little hungry because you didn't let me that that card chart guy. Yeah. Wait, come on. Do you have to get two courses? Because this girl white. So you're going to you're going to get her. I mean, we didn't roll for that. But we didn't roll for white. Let's roll for white. Roll for milk. It's the summer. Roll for milk. Yep. There you go. How are you going to get? We don't get to be a best of both worlds. You got to go. You tripped. You tripped it. So you're going individually or as a group?
We got to go to visually. S tonight. What I turn Leo. OK. Turn. All right. You want to turn Leo into a vampire? Yeah. Yeah. Max could at least eat the date. And then he's going to have sex. Max, you know that if you're going to have sex, you're going to want sex. Max eats the bartender. She's dead. I did not have to find out for a little summer milk. Yeah. She's gone. She's gone. She's gone. You killed her. She's going to roll for that. Yeah. No, you actually told me. You told me so. So in my mind, you transform into a bad. You rule the conversation of planning this. Yeah. You're ruined in the game, bro. I'm so into this shit. It's great. It's fun. You're ruined in the game. What you were. No, for real. You want to go and like you want to go. Yes. Yeah. We need him. We need him to focus. Yeah. We got to find out her address from Leo. This is not for Leo. She met him. But no, she doesn't know where she lives. I got that piece of paper. Yeah. From who? Me. So you just, he's like, hey, give me your address. I want to go.
Can I roll and have one of my animal friends follow her. Just take it. Follow her. Like, like, like, like, you could. Okay. Can't I follow her scent as a vampire? Yes, you can. 17. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Whatever daddy's. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, yeah. And just say that you killed the woman that just, she did. I think that's 15. So I did. So you just fed your, your, your, your, your, your, I think all know that Leo is going to find another. There's like 80 million. He's going to, we're going to get there. And you're going to start break dancing in the middle of the party. It's just the question of doing something. I'm not taking, I'm taking it seriously. Right. Alright. I'm coming back. And I would say, and, um, where was I? Don't worry about it. Actually, don't worry about it. You could just turn her in which case she would be. Uh, you're being asked to be able to have control over. You're getting, you're getting, you're getting, yeah. Yeah, you like, hold on. Max, Max, you have one option. You have two options. And kill her or make a turner to a vampire and make her your,
like, and then we can make a stand out. We can make a stand outside. We're about to stand watch. And that's how you play. Yeah. Playing, playing, playing, playing, playing. And just, you know what I'm just doing. Right. You just stole, Jomi's chit. They all there. They, they all happy. He can fuck a vampire. Yeah, but she's gonna be like, so it's a her now. That's true. I guess those are the vampires. So you now have a fledgling. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. Now we all need cover stories. You could have been a vampire, but you rejected that. So I made your girlfriend a vampire. Okay. Can I, I would like to use mage armor on Odadi before we go in? I have the ability to, if I touch a willing creature, and I think Odadi would be in this, in this case, who is not wearing armor, a protective magical force surrounds until the spell ends. Okay. Hot. Spell ends if the target Don's armor, if you dismiss the spell as an action. Okay. So it says the last. Yeah, I want to give Odadi extra protection eight hours to. This is powerful. Oh, I've used mage armor on Odadi. What time is it? Because this is the ball is tomorrow.
Is it already tomorrow? I mean, you could wait until we're. I'm assuming that gave you time to kill and turn. We're cracking. What was her name? What was her name? What was her name? Jeff. You don't even remember her name, Leo. Jeff. Oh, we're gonna kill you. I've never told you. Never gave us the name. Leo, you on. I mean, she wrote it down on the piece of it. Uh, Jessie.

Fantastic. Uh, there's a, there's a lot, there's a line of, uh, like, of, you know, party goers that are all elegantly dressed, waiting as they are being checked in via their whatever those recommendations. You also see a green lantern on the south lawn. Oh, oh, but what do we think?
Do we think that's like an indicator from Jimisin, not just that the back door is open, but like, I got you.

I'm okay. It's focus is always friendship and I find that very sweet so you walk in and it is gorgeous, but oh daddy when you walk in it feels like a garish violation Nothing that you see in this like Gorgeous estate is ever what it was before. Yes, everything's been remodeled the mirrors are gone the The colors in the in the house are all completely redone is like Hill Valley when Biff took over
So basically You see this you're kind of disgusted and all of these Rich and affluent families that you mainly knew of but like Only his names and in passing are now Completely occupying this palatial thing that you once called home You see the dance floor with dozens of elegantly dressed people Dancing conservatively will say You see a very elegant balcony overlooking it and you see a long hallway that leads up to some long staircases Which you believe to be or remember to be both the like bedrooms and the Quarters in which like you once grew up in should we find your mom? Yeah, you can There there are several things that you remember and places that you remember visiting that you think would be of interest to you in this party Everybody roll a perception check
1719 17 10 10 okay So in the course of you like observing and like just casually walking around this party you see Some servants that are walking Downstairs to what it seems to be something underneath the dance floor Probably like towards the basements like you know that there were like Scullery like not sculleries, but like there was basically like the kitchen area servants quarters stuff like that But scullery Okay, just sounded menacing Like skulls were there scullery made Like you see it like a suspicious amount of things being brought in like more so than you would ever like know for a regular party to be On the balcony you see a beautifully dressed very handsome very Deben airman that is your stepfather Holding court in an elegant dress
Not dress in an elegantly dressed Fashion talking to if you want you can you know what fuck it happy practice wearing a beautiful dress Good for a beautiful dress looks amazing He's holding court above kind of just observing things And then you see two guards Fashioned outside of that staircase Clearly were Nobody is supposed to be but you don't know why guards are guarding that section of the house That's never familiar to you So you have three things that you can look to do you could look to confront your stepfather on the balcony You can look and investigate what's going on in servants quarters or you can talk to the guards Oh boy Feels too soon to go right to step down Can't go right to step down We need more information. Well the job is to get the mom out of that. I have to check on mom first Right, so that's yet and I'll know what to do Or you always go to the servants guard gossip in the service quarters That's for the information. That's where Dylan. Yep. Okay, so you all want to go or do you want to like divide and conquer?
Do you want to go to different? Do we need somebody remember the fire didn't work out But do we need somebody to set a distraction just in case it all goes wrong? So here's here. I did notice that um you said that they were dancing conservatively So maybe I pull a foot loose on the Yeah And then everybody Working Change the music to full loose like can we call it a chance? Well, you do have a bard. That's right. We do No, we can do Why show them some rock music up there? You play full loose on that bitch and you start going crazy. They gonna lose They try to play some Johnny be good I someone I said cause it distracts you. Yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah, we need a distraction It's to the log cabin me to the earth and wood a living country boy named Johnny be good
For some reason an amazingly dressed gray suited Vampire ish looking but nobody can say for sure For some jumps on the stage starts playing with the band which is usually just like liars and like drums and stuff You're kidding. I love things. I'm gonna be good and roll a performance check for me. Oh, it's gonna be fantastic It's a nine But plus charisma yeah, 12 12, okay, okay, so For some reason you somehow convinced the band to join in on with you. Yeah, watch me for the genius you get like You get like 50% of the room. Yes Yeah, yeah, I'm too many to see yeah, let's go like it's not necessarily a distraction But it's a shift in the room that people are like actually like kind of having a good time Like it's kind of turning up a little bit. Tell you what a great. Amazing. I mean, you two are up there making sure that everybody's having a good time I'm upstairs. Who's going downstairs and service quarters? The rest of the party you're party you three. Yeah, okay
I want Leo to come I'll go Scotch and I will come with you. I don't know if I want Leo to come The best he's gonna try to fucking kitchen when I think at this point we should have Leo Staying watch the towers of something Leo can't come now Leo. No, I got passes out of trace. They can't they can't see me. Okay I don't know if you want to say if we need if we need to get to the mom we find the information where the mom is that I can pass a lot of trace and get to her without anybody seeing me. Okay, so you want to try that on the guards? Well, we don't know where she is yet. Well, I mean you got I'm a question you got an upstairs way to where oh, no, no, no, I think we split up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, does uh I have a question Does anyone know where she is like is this knowledge that can be attained if we find the right people if you want to ask is she in hiding or has someone You don't know what you're like ask around because
One of my spells in my new book is ask the thing behind the door Forbidden clues of contact of the plane the party is stuck or needs a truth But then it says no mortal knows and I don't know if that applies here So I think that me and whiskey should go to the scullery. Yeah, and then you and Leo should go and then if he looks like at any fucking point That he is gonna flake out. Yeah, you should just bite him. Yeah, like you know me now. I'm up on stage right now I'm gonna multitask in right I'm gonna really I really should have given you guys like bluetooth speakers Just so you can talk to each other during the party. Oh, can we have can we do a smell? There's a there's like a stone that can do that But you know, we don't have that I just found a stone in my power shut up What is it do? All right, shush is it blue walkie-talkie? I have one throw of us whiskey who's gonna go away? I Think that you should go
Just exploring looking for your mom and I I should ask questions because I don't want anyone to learn who you are It's too risky, right? Okay, but Maybe we should flip because I have something called detect magic and I have to assume that magic is being used to hide the mom Yeah, so what if I have smaller? I'm three five. What if I just start like I need a bathroom or something like whatever Right and just use detect magic and see if that can lead me to it doesn't last for 10 minutes. Okay I think I can move pretty quickly and See if I can detect magic being used in a certain quarter And that can at least allow us to like narrow our search. I have a question Okay, the wing of the house where the mother might be if I use pastel at risk and I just use that for myself We're gonna use other people with that. That's just you Can I have a question? I have a question are any of my pets Or any of the horses or animals? Yeah, that were around when I left are they still there that I could talk to them 15 years later. Well, if it's a horse funny or if it's a small drop It lives a little bit longer. Wait, wait, we don't have an animal that remembers the mother sent and can follow
Well, the animal Well, could not to that point could not just talk to any animal that around you could ask that animal about the stables Yeah, I want to go to the stable. Okay. Oh daddy's gonna go to the stable You're gonna go to the bathroom and detect magic. You're gonna pass the rat. Well, I can speak with small bees Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, yes, as I wander as I use detect magic to try to find the right wing I'll ask the rats as I go. Yeah, okay, why not? All right, so I'm detecting magic and I have a trace you're gonna talk to my mom I need to find where she is and then I can pass a lot of trace no one wants to talk to the help I mean somebody could talk I guess I gotta talk to the I gotta talk to I gotta talk to the help If Leo swaps into the dance floor, yeah, shakes us
Talia and I will go to the women of the party So you hand it off to him. Yeah, you're dancing Leo All right, Talia and I are heading down to the quarters and we're gonna talk to the staff And I think we should start with the the maids. Yes, okay. Here's the question Where can't you clean? Right, okay, because oh, okay, they're not gonna want the mother who is really like a prisoner in her own home Okay, to be exposed to people who could glean. Okay, so you so you like pass through the party Yeah, I'm gonna make and you just said hi You walk into what appears to be like the kitchen and then you pass through the kitchen Yeah into like this downstairs. I need to snack. I'm sorry. I've got my familiar Scotch here We he's got she's some milk and I was like I'm any like do you like a wheel of cheese?
You know, we've been traveling for a long time. We're here. We're explorers We have a thirst for knowledge A love of found family and we're here to learn about the land. Nobles. Um remember that And you know, we have a just a real passion for Star Wars and Beach attire Um Okay, sucker and Darth Vader um um And if you help us we will Cause a workers revolt and rise up against the press and put the one true prince Wow, all right That's For a party a party of this this my god the guest list It's like the droid up raising How many guest rooms did you need to that you need to prep how many people are staying over? Yeah, any rooms that weren't available Should we talk to the oldest help first Could they remember? Okay, I got it. I gotta give I gotta do something. Okay, go ahead asking the maid all of that. Yeah, okay. Yeah Uh, hello
Yeah, yeah, that's a lot um The one place is that I know that I can't clean um she's like kind of like Uh, like kind of struck because like uh what she what she believes to be a very rich person and like her social better is like Starting to interrogate her Right made here's a noble coin And she instead of like one of our goals And she okay, so you give her a homage gold We start with like 10 yeah, okay, she is like a fuxively thankful And like maybe we should start a much I I I mean the only places that we aren't allowed to go to are The the the warehouse in the back and like that's just we just drop off boxes and we don't really know What they're supposed to do but nobody can go in their warehouse
As far as the like where the CDs are as far as the servants as far as the rooms upstairs. I mean there's There's there's our there's my ladies chamber. There's Uh my lord's chamber and then there's the guest rooms That's all and where is my lady we we were looking forward to making our introduction But we didn't we didn't see her at the bowl clutch. Uh, I'm Not liberty to say my lady Hmm spell her I'm You know how we have to do a spell Oh boy, let's see um Okay enemies or group chasing are blocking a path the party needs chaos back up or a terrifying distraction And I'm easy to be held down and place her slowed down I That like through the cloud cloud thoughts Whenever that's the can I use that again how much time it's been a day. It's been a day. I'm gonna detect thoughts again. Okay great detect thoughts again Um, it's like a
You can see his plane is day in her mind that Uh, Odette's mother is has stayed in her room for weeks So she's in the room Weeks and and is currently there. Okay We need to free her can we see which room? Well, it's her room. Oh room. The lady's chamber. Okay. So yeah Yeah, it's frankly. It's hubris to keep her in her own room right so they're not ready for us Okay, so you found out what you need to do right for us. So I'm gonna cut to Odette. Let's do the stables right right now Your investigate so you could recognize your mother's horse. Well, I have to I have to cast the speak with animals to find which horses her correct Okay, so I'll cast it right in the waters of what I don't need to roll you just you just cast it a cast read off read off what what it says It says you gain the ability to comprehend and verbally communicate with beasts for the duration it's 10 minutes long The nine minutes is the I don't know if you heard yeah So the knowledge and awareness of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but at minimum
Beast can give you information about nearby locations and monsters including whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day You might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor with you. Okay for you at the GM's discretion great Amazing, okay, all right, so you there's a stable of like three horses, okay? So I roll up on the most Immaculate stable, which is clearly the King's horse. Okay, so you you you you want to find the King's horse I want to find the King's horse. I'm not sure which one will be the Queen's horse, but I want to find a King's horse Okay, so you approach one, yes, and it's just standing there. Let's hear that. Let's hear you speak some horse Okay Okay And to and to the and to the horses that are speaking it sounds like what are you what are you trying to say? I was doing What's going on? Would you happen to be the horse of the King
Yeah, you are I have to say a mighty Super mighty and like if the King were going to choose any horse Well clearly be well. Thank you Which horse around here might be the horse of the Queen. Oh, that's messing that extra me. Oh, thank you very much I'm sorry. You have to miss the party, but what party never mind Next I go up and talk to it. Okay. All right, talk to it No When was the last time the Queen rode you I hear that you the Queen's horse. Oh No, he's not. Yeah, it's a lady. It's a lady horse. Yeah best women always ride lady horses Yeah, that's Bessie that's true She has it with me and he has Gears oh, no, that's tough. Oh my goodness
That I find that hard to believe because from my childhood what I remember is that oh, I can't say that I find what I hear is that the Queen loved nothing more than to take long pastoral rides Throughout the countryside. She doesn't do that anymore. That is true. She doesn't She's been in her room for so long. This is really hard Ever Ever since a few years ago Her husband has been unruly saying Different languages things I don't understand. Oh, whoa. Gotta kill him speaking to the horses and Rough languages to Monica claims that I don't understand. Uh-oh. She's not herself Is her husband abusive to the animals around here? Oh Sorry somewhat not to me
But I've seen him oh we must kill him we have to at the jeopardy of saving his mom Just so I know right Approximately How many animals Are here on this state? I'm talking pigs cows horses chickens Right, but not the how many animals How many animals are here There were ones many now there are a few ones now there are only us And are you know those seeds ready to rise up against your oppressor Man, you ask me how many horses are there just that's three. Ah, they were fucked. Okay. Hey don't have the numbers Guess what I have the numbers Some oats
Have these oats I wish they go The horses love it. They love the else they they they there you go so much. It's been so long since we've had a proper meal You're welcome and I will be back for you Wonderful Sounds like we got Back to Leo yeah on the dance I mean do I know that she's up in the bedroom you don't know that we need a way to share all this information Yeah, we need a way to share the information I think we have to I think it's group dance time yeah All of the It's a keep it shuffle Now I'm very disturbed right but I didn't come back to the party though and you guys got raised like it right okay I'm also gonna be Okay Great keep going okay, so we learn so we are dancing and sharing all of our information share and you re re re re re can't all that information kill so we learned
We learned that She is in her own quarters right we learned something suspicious about a warehouse That the servants are not allowed to go to so while Odadi's mom might be in her quarters not the warehouse Something is in the warehouse that we need to deal with that thing I think he's now what is the there's a snake in the box What's the appearance poison the water hole right what's the big do we get the mom and get out or but there's also the missing the dead animals The missing animals and that weird little nugget which you have to share with us about all the different languages Is King Larry also Insoir sold in some way so here's the situation here It really makes no sense to go get mom right now because what does freeing mom do us? We need a way to get out after that because it we free mom then mom wait if she just become one of our group wait wait I mean you don't want to hang with your mom I do but like there's a bigger fish there's a bigger fish still in peril There's always a bigger fish I can envision I can make your mom invisible and get her out if you want
But where we gonna go it seems like there's a deeper sort of situation here I can get your mom out and have Jesse escort her I Swear how many of us have a disability wait wait wait hold on just watch the way we want we want to do We want to do up one up to free mom and one of the other as one up to the way Okay, who has a visibility? I have it you have it who else has it? I don't have a visibility okay. We're using a visibility on each other. We're sneaking into the warehouse We're gonna find out we're going recombition to the warehouse my plan to get mom Using visibility on someone else yeah, okay, so You want it she wanted to use a visibility on the mom so you gotta go get mom To get Jesse out well then you guys gotta split up and Talia and Talia and I need to make I can only make one person invisible They have to go the warehouse alone wait who has a visibility. I do and you do yeah, okay? Well, you have a visibility you gotta use it on mom and then you guys Since guy go to the warehouse because you need Talia in case it goes what yeah, but only one of us can be invisible
I think right, right? No, no, no, no, I can use it a creature you touch You can also touch yourself Indeed, anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person spell ends for a target But attacks are cast by her climb so I can climb on one out there. We go. Oh get read that sheet You see the stuff you just bought a climb to the roof these are all my spells. Yeah, why not climb on the ceiling? You can okay, you gotta discreetly do that. I'm gonna disguise myself, which I can do again Yeah, I know okay. Ooh, I can as a member of the household staff So that I can go upstairs. Okay roll a wisdom check for me real quick. I would love to do that I'm so smart. I figured this I figured it out. Okay. Okay. This is all gonna work. Okay. That works Okay, plus your bonus Okay, so you know that this is going to break the clothing spell that you have right now That's not true. We are fighting not magic
That has a magic though, but it's can get a cancel out the magic that you've already put on yourself I just use magic to talk to the god damn fucking horse. No, but this is literally changing your daddy. Oh disguising He's literally changing your clothes if I use passes out of trace to my damn. No, no, you're fine. Okay. Okay So you gotta go get mom shoot He's dead I've been a great soldier. This entire time It's calm down. It's calm down incredible. Just hope there's no women on the way up there By the way, I hope that you don't take a liking to my mom too much. I don't trust it. Yeah, let's go five mom Okay, I figured out I'm using my invisibility power on Talia. Okay, I'm on myself casting minor illusion Okay, so I will basically look like the landscape that Talia is moving past and we will both be able to get to that not cancel out her
Colving No, it's an illusion. It's an illusion. It's not technically changing my clothes Okay, now the pin on what you guys see at the warehouse you gotta let me know because if need be we have to fuck this party I can speak to small beast I can send a rat with a message she you can also speak at her as our flying back Good do that as well. Yeah, now if this all goes bad what I'm gonna do is Send all the fucking horses into the middle of the party All three of horses to disrupt the fucking party and then we blow this whole thing up And then we have to escape in the melee. Okay. Yeah, first things first we can use my book to escape. We're getting mom Pass without a trace. Pass without a trace. All right, great read that off for me real quick Uh I'm a joint a local D&D league We have this is already said this is last time. I know, but this is fun. Let's just do this more. Yeah, you'll just do this more All right, avail shadows and signs radiates from you masking you and your companions. I I asked the best like a page you said no, I didn't read this part. Oh
You said it Oh, daddy, do you want to come with us for the duration of the creature you choose within 30 feet from you including yourself Has a plus 10 bonus to dexterity stealth checks and can't be tracked except by magical means. Yeah a creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or traces of its Passes, not necessarily invisible, right, but if you want to like these are not the door eyes. They're looking Yeah, yeah, this is basically like a Jedi mind trick slip away from somebody in conversation If I cast it before I get the mom, right will she be enveloped into all past? Okay, great. Okay So then do we think it's a bad idea and this lasts for one hour and mind you this is a concentration spell So what you have to do is basically you have to focus your mind You can't get distracted and cannot be distracted So you know what I'm gonna do How how does your mom? She looks really good Think like Halle Berry at 60 that's my No, that's why that's a good warm-oom. That's why the kingdom was always up and on over her and stuff like that right
Okay, so doomed So the first thing you gotta do it might be over so it's Leo and Right who is who is telling the world the way the warehouse? Yeah, they're a lot of the rest you're going mom first you gotta get past these guards Are you gonna what are you gonna say to them? They're walking they're right at the threshold of the stairs. It's pass without whatever right? I got it. Where's the bathroom at? I heard the bathroom was right there. I got it. I'm gonna go use the bathroom and then you and roll for I guess this would be 13 I got it plus and so then you have a plus 10 bonus to stealth okay So so 13 plus yeah, no so okay basically like what the guards will see is like you briefly come into their site And they're just like hey, I just got to use the best and then gone and they're like the fuck And they they don't notice anything. I noticed nothing right so you walk up the stairs. Mm-hmm. You see three Doorways right and then a guard stationed at one of those doorways right you won't okay, so we know which one it is right right okay
So Which one do you want to approach obviously? I'm guessing the one with the guard the guard great And you would like to say something do something Hey big dog heard about this bathroom in there and we go use the way we work the first time He's like oh there's no bathroom here. That's downstairs. Oh well somebody told me it was in here.
