Hi i'm Olma, Flynn, March, Ceallach, Shraya and i'm your DM Ethan welcome to Venture Forth

hi i'm flynn and i'm your dm ethan welcome to

0:05

ventureforth [Music]

0:37

previously you all had successfully made your way to oak and spire although not in the correct bodies um kelik oma and

0:44

shraya had found themselves swapped into their new forms as they attempted to

0:50

figure out what was going on out on the open sea you guys had decided to actually make your way to oak inspire as

0:56

hayfreed might be the only one who could actually help you fix this problem but uh once you guys got to oak inspire and

1:03

and fix that teleportation circle and met up with hey fred you guys discovered he was still sort of tapped from what he

1:09

had done with flynn so he wasn't going to be able to help you so what he had suggested was going to a temple within

1:16

oak inspire to where these priests might be able to actually switch your bodies back he gave you a couple of gifts and a

1:22

tool that would be used to help swap your souls back you guys went to this temple and had

1:29

discovered that indeed one of the clerics here had been practicing magic long enough to be able to complete this

1:34

ritual she took you down beneath the temple into sort of the basement area the dungeon

1:40

beneath this temple and uh began this ritual taking a shard of this strange metal that hayfred had given you and

1:47

ripping open a tear into the the elemental plane of air um and as your

1:52

souls were being lifted out of your bodies unfortunately in the plane of air um a couple of air elementals uh slipped

1:59

through and you guys had to make sure not only to stay safe while these air

2:04

elementals were thrashing around but also to stay in the circle of this spell

2:10

luckily you guys were able to spend enough time in the the circle uh to where the ritual was completed and you

2:15

guys all made your ways back to your own bodies um though when you guys returned your own

2:22

bodies you realized that you guys are are pretty well uh pretty

2:27

well damaged at this point you guys are tired exhausted and even though um you guys have a little bit more

2:33

understanding and a little bit more of a realization of of what was going on from being in in the other bodies you guys

2:39

are beat so as you guys emerge from the temple and as you guys walk out into

2:45

this beautiful open park area it is still and it is quiet um

2:51

you guys can still see that uh some of the the thunderous clouds that um had

2:57

had been plaguing the previous couple days here are still overhead so you can't quite um pick out any of the sky

3:04

but as you guys are walking out into the park what would you guys like to do

3:10

ah i real still agreed on getting to the end and just turning in for the night

3:15

it's been a hard couple of hours here yeah are you really tired

3:21

yeah rest would probably be pretty good too i am i want to do one thing

3:27

and i look up toward the sky before we lay down i've been meaning to do this

3:33

and i'm gonna just take off okay uh and as i do

3:38

uh i like sweep up into the air but as i do i like hinge

3:45

to either side and i attempt to do like a little like flip in the air that always gives me joy but it it's a

3:53

little bit uh half cocked as i'm as i'm still tired and

3:58

uh where normally you'd expect me to like just go for a while i pretty quickly come back down and be like ugh

4:06

no no you're right you're that was not nearly as satisfying as it usually is as he does this i i watch him

4:12

wistfully as he's uh sorry through the air yeah

4:19

sorry if i wore out the the bones and those wings are brittle

4:25

so i i wasn't tricky for what the hell they would feel i just actually just kind of feels like

4:31

i slept funny but [Music] i hope i don't sleep funnier tonight

4:36

then i'd have some real problems i look sort of uh

4:41

with frustration at my bandaged hand and i pulled the wrapping tighter to where alma wasn't really maintaining the

4:49

tautness of the bandage yeah well i'll have to get

4:54

accustomed let's head in yeah yes oh yes the purse is probably if i uh remember

5:01

correctly i still can't believe that you only flew once

5:06

but if i had wings i'd be doing it all the time not all of us are thrill seekers

5:12

flynn some of us like to stay alive yeah okay good good point

5:19

all right so you guys uh leave the park and head over to the perch prolly um

5:24

that you guys obviously remember from uh when you guys had had uh come in contact with it the first time um and

5:31

it is late at night so you guys see that as you walk in there is uh just the

5:38

famous embers of a dying fire still in the fireplace uh you look around and uh

5:45

you can smell from what was probably dinner um the smell of

5:50

warm food warm home-cooked food and you look around this is a a pretty big

5:57

lobby um probably the one of the largest inns that you guys have have seen but it is desolate there is no one here you see

6:03

a long table along wooden table often uh the corner and you see what looks like a

6:09

reception desk off in the other corner [Music] do we already have a room

6:15

uh [Music] i think so

6:21

i don't did we get a room i i think we just told people to send us messages here

6:26

we did [Music] did you guys lose your memory after switching bodies

6:32

well do you remember flynn or do you need a trinket to remind you no i that's why i'm asking because i forgot to and i

6:38

don't know if it's the body thing or if if it's something else everyone check their pockets or i i'll check my side

6:43

i'll check my i don't i i i really don't think we

6:49

actually came here i think that's right this doesn't look familiar to me at all i don't remember it and i think we just

6:55

went straight from the party to afraid home the worst thing that could happen is

7:01

we get an extra room right that's uh let's see about

7:07

getting some chambers here i'll approach the reception desk okay um as you do as just as you

7:15

approach and you sort of stand there in front of the reception area um a a faint

7:21

chime of a bell goes off without you even touching anything and um from behind a couple of red curtains uh you

7:28

see a dwarven man uh pop out he's got uh just a very patchy red beard and um a

7:36

pretty sizable mole on in the middle of his face um and he walks out and uh hi

7:42

hello there can i uh what can i do for you uh hi uh me and me companions here are just

7:49

looking for uh uh rooms if you have any available um yeah and he rubs his eyes and he sort of

7:55

looks down at his desk and rummages through some papers and grabs the notebook and places it down in front of

8:00

him um and he says uh yeah a little late for you guys to be coming in

8:06

yeah well we've been on the road um uh it doesn't look like you have much

8:13

of a nightlife here no not really everyone's in by sundown

8:20

ah right forgot where i was for a moment um well uh we don't mean to cause a force

8:28

uh no not at all um can i get you guys set up with the room uh

8:33

yes uh do you have one that would accommodate uh a lot of us yeah i've got uh a couple of them open um depending on

8:40

what you guys want you guys want something higher end lower end you've got some great higher end rooms

8:45

bigger spacious plenty of room to keep all your stuff safe secure

8:50

yeah yeah let's all be together yeah you guys would all be in one room

8:56

take a step up is the possibility that there's a window it could be a large window i can set you

9:03

up with one by window yeah good good um i've got one right here that's got two windows one in the bedroom one in

9:09

the bathroom there's a bathroom inside the room yeah there's a bathroom inside the room

9:15

what can we have that one i i uh i don't have much money homer how much is it

9:22

this one right now we're pretty vacant uh let's say five gold yeah i got it and

9:27

i'll slam off five six gold on the table okay you guys have been through a lot

9:32

so i'll treat you yeah traveling has been really tough yes yes the travel

9:38

the usual yeah yeah yeah it's just you know a lot i'm going to bed i don't make a

9:43

habit of asking many questions so i'll just leave you guys to whatever weird stuff you guys are doing um i

9:50

appreciate it and he swipes five of the gold off into a drawer and takes the sixth gold and puts it in his back pocket um is there anything i can take

9:57

up to the room for you guys no i think we've got uh uh we can carry

10:02

on us all right do you guys have breakfast in the morning yeah yeah what time would that be that

10:08

10:14

works here he takes orders i mean if you want to have something special we can i can put

10:19

in an order for you right now and have it ready for you in the morning you know what yeah you guys have um

10:26

10:31

yeah let's do that okay um that's just gonna be uh uh for pastry five copper

10:39

got it give him give another gold okay he puts the other gold in his back pocket

10:46

all right um i'll have him put that in right now any any other special requests just one

10:53

i would urge you not to judge too harshly we're not so weird the longer that you stay around us i put my hand on

10:59

the table and uh is it a wooden table yes it is and so slowly from the wooden table

11:05

these like tiny little shamrocks like kind of sprouter on my fingers between our urges and our tastes and our

11:13

appetites we're actually quite fantastical in our own way i avert my

11:19

eyes i'm just staring at the fireplace but all in good fun i give him a wink

11:26

then i turn and then the shamrocks shrink back but shrink back into the table so it's

11:31

going to be a no on the food order okay i'd like uh if you could just have some

11:36

cornmeal oatmeal something of that nature yeah yeah something of course

11:42

perfect um okay uh if you'd like i can show you guys up to your room thanks all

11:47

right um and he uh steps out from behind the counter and he walks out with you

11:52

guys and takes you guys up uh two flights of stairs and down the end of a hallway and opens up the door and it's

11:59

it's like a thick wooden door it's got um like these these beautiful floral engravings on the outer edge of it and

12:06

as he opens it um you can just see that there's some there's some weight to this door um and

12:12

it opens up into some pretty beautiful chambers um you can see that there's a common area and as you guys walk in you

12:18

can see that there are two bedrooms on either side and then next to uh attached to each of those bedrooms is a

12:25

designated bathroom um and you can see each of the the rooms has their own window um but as you guys look around

12:31

the more you guys look around you can see um some like a little um [Music]

12:37

potted flower on a table you can see that this this this room is pretty well dressed

12:42

some beautiful silk curtains um lining those windows and as you guys walk in um the dwarven

12:49

gentleman takes his leave shuts the door behind you and uh you guys

12:54

are are free to yourselves i immediately run in and i jump on one of the beds up and down up and down and up and down um

12:59

and then i like put my arms up and i fall back so that i'm laying back on there and i roll around and i roll

13:04

around wow this place is nice

13:10

i i don't know that i've ever had such fine accommodations we could do this more often

13:15

you mean journey to the capital city of one of the world's great civilizations

13:21

guys last night did you just compliment dwarves it feels very strange to me but i'm just

13:26

getting back and used to adjust it to being in this and i flick my fingers again oh i still can't do that i can't

13:32

do that anymore i look over at alma guys last night we slept outside of a cave in

13:38

the rain and tonight luxury [Music]

13:44

trust makes you reflect on all those who don't have the opportunity you know to sleep in such fine places no i wasn't

13:52

thinking about that at all why would you do that because it keeps things in perspective

13:59

i don't like perspective and i'm gonna get up and i'm gonna go into the bathroom and shut the door and take a long bath

14:05

okay all right um and as you're as you're sitting there you see that there's like five different kinds of soaps

14:11

and you've got a little scrub at the end of the bath and like it's pretty decked out it's great i make as many bubbles as

14:18

possible okay and i use shape water

14:24

to make like dolphin swim next to me and like i'm gonna have a great

14:29

okay i'm gonna have you make a general dexterity check don't break anything on my crash

14:37

um 18 18. um you're keeping it pretty well

14:45

contained within the bathtub no water no soap is getting anywhere that you don't want it um and uh the rest of you guys

14:51

just here in the bathroom water being splashed around

14:58

it does put a smile on my face to see only being able to be a child

15:05

yeah yeah wait till just have a break

15:11

oh how are you feeling finn really really tired i'm still i think i'm still

15:18

recovering i'm almost i'm feeling almost better yeah from your little bout with yourself

15:26

yeah uh good i'm glad you're up just enough

15:32

yeah i've been reading my books a little bit more and i

15:37

think i'm figuring something out but i don't i don't know i'm still so beat

15:42

i think i'm just gonna i mean i would love to party here right now but i'm really tired am i just going to bed

15:50

understandable how about you and i work on creating the party

15:56

lin as i nod my head toward the door i think our friend uh

16:02

mentioned that there's no real after evening things to do to speak of we may

16:08

be on our own to create it ourselves oh right maybe we shouldn't have a party because we might get in trouble and get

16:13

thrown in jail like timmy could it be revelry against the law in a place like this i wouldn't put it past

16:19

it it would seem there's some kind of curfew you know the tavern keep was like there's a lot of

16:25

curfews in this kind of place yeah i uh i'd be you know i celebration is in

16:31

order we've got our bodies back we didn't die but maybe quiet celebration well and i

16:37

think uh perhaps this room is too well put together i think there might be some changes in order and i like to don't

16:43

break anything i touch my finger to the to the plant and then i extend my staff

16:48

up toward the ceiling and i want to druid craft some like really colorful vines that are want to dangle like

16:55

across the ceiling that almost have a uh not not quite like confetti like little spinner helicopter

17:02

things but they they sway and they twirl and they're like little multi-colored flowers that are shiny emerging from the

17:08

vines from the ceiling can i do that of course let's go hell yeah you can do that

17:14

that's awesome all right so these like hanging from the ceiling down like where we can touch them yes yes they are oh man it's so tempting and

17:21

i grab one and i like kick off the bed corner and kind of swing around whoa

17:27

all right that's snakes i guess

17:32

um you can feel them dude they're very soft and i like brush one against my feathers we'll admire them from afar

17:39

yeah right sure yes so i'm gonna stay in the tub

17:44

with my shapes in the water until they fade which is about an hour from now okay and once they fade is there like a

17:50

big fluffy bath towel or like robe um make an investigation check

18:00

19 19. um there's sort of a standard towel laying there by the by the bed um but

18:06

you're not satisfied with that so you go and you open up all the cabinets and you do find a cabinet filled with fluffy

18:13

towels and uh like robes and little uh face towels and just all of the

18:20

amenities of luxury great i'm gonna put on one of the robes and it's way too big for me way too big and i'm gonna wrap it

18:27

around myself and then i'm gonna exit the room see all the flowers

18:34

okay and then i'm just gonna trudge to one of the beds and i'm just gonna curl up and go to sleep

18:40

okay um with the the hot water and with the um the huge robe and the comfy bed

18:48

this is probably the fastest you have ever fallen asleep um and just being beaten up um that also that also

18:55

adds to it um okay alma is asleep is there anything else uh you guys want to do before crashing yeah i mean that was

19:01

an hour later so i'd probably already be asleep by the time she got out of there okay so i'll probably pass out one of those

19:07

uh before i craft my little like vine lambs your bed uh i i'm gonna like dot

19:12

the tip of the crystal to each little vine and uh from the vines uh

19:18

i would and again you'll have to tell me if this is minor enough but uh little uh little crickets i want to emerge from the

19:25

flowers and then just give like a soft like not audible so that other rooms in the area can hear it but like soft

19:30

enough so that it gives a comforting sort of like nice cricket soundscape first yes i will allow it

19:45

um uh is there a fireplace in this room um there's not a fireplace in this

19:52

room you did see a pretty sizable one down in the lobby though on the lobby

19:57

are there sconces in this room there are yeah um i would like to douse one of the

20:02

sconces okay um and uh uh if i'm if i can find some privacy

20:09

i would collect some of the ash and um uh stand

20:15

uh actually rather kneel uh next to one of the windows

20:21

and pull out my my uh three-ringed amulet

20:26

and uh just gaze for a moment at the amulet [Music]

20:33

habitually running my fingers around each of the rings um and getting ash on it as i do

20:40

and then i'll take some of the ash uh and i will just um do as i shown

20:47

and run it down from my forehead to my nose

20:54

what's to be done what can we do together

21:00

that's people at the temple they called me a seer

21:08

they said i could see things others can't

21:14

so why do i feel so blind and then i will just take a moment and

21:20

um just sit with that that thought okay

21:27

everyone is going to sleep yes yes um since i kind of fell asleep a little

21:33

earlier i'm hoping maybe i could wake up a bit earlier just kind of like i'll effectively take first watch um

21:41

i know we're not doing watches but i will have done that yeah um yeah as as you take some time um

21:47

you hear the streets outside are silent the room's next to you

21:52

silent um it seems almost as if this place is deserted but you know from the previous

21:59

hours walking around the city it's definitely not um it is just very quiet so um as you finish what would

22:05

essentially be a first watch um you go to sleep and a little while later flynn you wake

22:11

up look around to the group that's still

22:19

slumbering sleeping [Music]

22:26

yes i feel a little better i'll look over my bag and grab my books

22:31

kind of lay them out on my bed as i kind of like sit crisscross and just [Music]

22:36

all right got to be some answers in here

22:42

i'll open up the ab duration book start flipping through

22:48

it's all doesn't make any sense like there's so many words there's so many letters i looked under my arm

22:55

wait hold it up to one of the books one of the people one of the symbols and look at the actuation symbol on my

23:02

arm that matches

23:08

that match is there and that match is there and i'll flip through the other book my iron light

23:14

book and that that match

23:19

this is shield but why why is there so many

23:25

why is there all this text i look back at my book there's only like a few

23:30

[Music] hold on

23:35

muscle tension volume volume of voice

23:41

start stop points what this is way more technical

23:50

maybe maybe that's what i'm doing wrong

23:58

where's my highlight book okay

24:03

where's that spell

24:09

of course of course i didn't read these victory would be so upset

24:15

all right well i guess i'll read it now [Music]

24:20

less pressure dragging fingers okay

24:26

start at a non-dominant foot heel is that what i was doing wrong

24:34

i'll look around to the group again [Music] and smirk [Music]

24:43

i'll look out to the window is the sun rising yet you can see that the the sun is just

24:48

beginning to rise over the horizon hmm [Music]

24:54

well if it works it'll be one hell of an alarm

25:00

all right i'll hop off my bed let's give this another go

25:07

okay um as you hop off of your bed um you take your stance and

25:14

you take note of some of the more technical aspects of of this spell um

25:21

and whereas before it was just sheer force of will that you were trying to get this thing out yeah um this time

25:26

when you're when you're casting it it is more deliberate more thought out more well placed

25:33

um and uh as you go to cast this it feels smooth it feels like you're not

25:39

having to force anything and all of a sudden these winds begin to

25:45

pick up around your feet [Music] and the air begins to move around you and it moves up towards your knees and

25:51

up towards your hips and almost like a tornado it begins to spin and whirl

25:56

around you and pretty soon things are flying across the room everyone else jolts awake as you guys

26:04

see flynn in this absolute tornado of wind throwing things across the room guys i did it one moment to please

26:12

one bloody moment to pass uh i i i'm coming over here are you

26:18

where's me is he mirrors me and i look at him

26:37

and flynn as you are in the midst of this tornado of wind and uh looking down

26:43

at your books in front of you that are they're still laying there on the ground it clicks in your head how much more

26:49

technical you need to be and how much more thought out all of this stuff is and um as that

26:55

that piece sort of unlocks in your mind you level up hey

27:00

did we get a long rest the rest of you got along unless i realized that my party is

27:06

getting visibly upset i will uh drop my concentration

27:13

guys guys i did it i did it dude what disturb us once more with your

27:19

tomfoolery well yeah yeah that too but i also figured out what i was doing wrong

27:25

and what was that what what were you doing right well well what i was doing wrong

27:33

what i was doing wrong was um i was trying to force magic out i wasn't focusing i wasn't thinking about it

27:40

before when maybe it was because i've practiced so much on these i guess movements i knew them

27:46

but this is a movement i've never done before so now i had to learn it and i i was just

27:53

winging it i was sorry improving it like i've been told but

27:58

i guess there's a balance well i think you may have been winging it right out

28:03

uh okay i know this is jumping back a little bit but as the wind was circulating uh can i say that uh i

28:12

could have maybe directed some of the wind like out past the windows or with the windows

28:17

have stayed sealed what kind of windows are they um if you had directed wind out towards the windows they would have

28:22

burst over they would have burst up okay i'm gonna say that i did that as like a gut like not almost inadvertently being

28:28

like holy [ __ ] there's wind i'm gonna direct it are we in danger yeah for sure so now at this point the

28:35

windows are completely open the curtains have actually blown out and are now hanging while they're still hanging

28:40

inside the bottoms of the curtains are actually hanging outside of the windows so returning to that sentence

28:46

you may have just winged it right out into the world oh yeah my short friend um

28:53

i'll look around the room oh yeah it's a mess

28:59

i'm glad that the moment we had some luxury we immediately went about to face in it

29:06

i think it's actually quite a brilliant prank flynn huh i mean i can try and do it again

29:11

i is it possible to perhaps uh make the room look even worse

29:17

oh yeah and i'll look to the i looked at kellek and as i'm like

29:23

as i'm like getting my fingers rubbed together and like the absorption and i'm about to tap it on my knee i look at him

29:30

and he's disapproving i'm guessing i i i don't know i'll look to him and i'll

29:35

see what he's i glower yeah we

29:45

this is a rude awakening i'm i'm very unhappy so as i look at him i i let the

29:51

magic from my fingers fade i don't know if certainly once was an

29:56

offline right right too much of a good thing we're going to have to put the room back together or we're going to be

30:02

going to have to put the room back together i'm not doing anything i didn't cause this or we just give our friend downstairs

30:08

another gold [Music] or we just and i look down into the street

30:15

go about our day this is a place where people get hanged for wearing purple robes so two gold then probably

30:22

just clean it up and you you can just get rid of all the plant life right so that'll be a start and then you can just

30:30

pick up all the mess you made i'm not quite sure about i tap my staff against the walls

30:36

it's a bit full at the moment i don't know if i'll be able to take it all back in yeah

30:41

30:48

30:55

clean up your bloody messed up fine okay i twirled the i throw the crystal strap

31:01

staff up upside down and start sucking the vines i'm going up into it but uh they

31:07

leave a sticky residue on the ceiling okay that goes unnoticed

31:12

i'm gonna attempt to reach out and grab the curtains that are probably like three times my size and pull them back

31:18

into the open window okay um i'm gonna have both of you guys

31:25

what's the check about make a cleanup check yeah

31:30

yeah just rolling an adulthood yeah straight d20 and this is not a

31:35

disadvantage because my exhaustion is finally gone your exhaustion is gone what's the check three

31:41

31:48

that change the outcome do i fall out the window [Music]

31:55

see how well shy uh 22 22 oh okay um flynn you're totally

32:00

preoccupied with the spell that you just cast yeah and like you're you're sort of cleaning up the same corner for like 20

32:07

minutes you're just sort of daydreaming and and wiping up the same corner um that is now at this point well

32:14

cleaned uh but you don't notice that as shraya uh cleans up the rest of the room to pretty much how it was before um

32:21

putting things back on the shelves uh putting things back on tables and uh and all that do i notice the sticky residue

32:28

that remains make a perception check okay

32:34

okay that is a uh 21. uh 21.

32:40

carefully inspecting everything that these two are doing um yeah you notice there's a little bit of

32:47

sticky stuff on the ceiling i can't believe i'm asking for your help with this what

32:54

bear with me here i cast let's try walking around the

32:59

residue okay um and as you do um it's it's like this this goop and it all

33:06

dries up and it begins to sort of float down as this dust into the room

33:13

thank you thank you kindly all right ariel dawn here

33:18

should we get about to rescue an ole miss chum yeah um how are we going to do that though

33:25

this seems really bad that's a good question i haven't really considered it a plan

33:31

it's not like we can just walk in perhaps there's a cd underbelly to this uh

33:37

uh clenched city uh comparison with uh some kind of information on the run-ins

33:43

of the prison our last prison break didn't quite go

33:49

uh as planned if we could even call us a plan so probably better before we prepare for

33:56

this one okay how do you find a cd under belly

34:02

i could start in the pattern downstairs well if this

34:07

city is as hard and regimented as a rock why don't we simply

34:12

lift it up see what's there [Music] what does that mean

34:19

well my experience in the wilds and i have no reason to believe that this place is

34:26

anything like that and i've noticed that the more you try to contain

34:32

life the more life struggles struggles to break out

34:38

so maybe we could find the breaking points of this city maybe we could find the places where there is the most

34:44

control and then we can see what might be pushing against it

34:50

i think that tracks should we start with breakfast yes that's a great idea oh right lemon

34:57

pastries and i run downstairs wait i wanted to ask you something what i catch up to him what we're going down

35:03

the stairs uh maybe not now i'm starving as well yeah i really want

35:09

a pastry but i wanted to ask you we need i want to know can we hurry this up can we move yes we can move at some point i

35:15

want to know more about what you saw in that temple what we were sitting in that temple next to

35:21

each other i want to know more about what saw what you were what happened to you

35:26

oh oh but let's eat first yeah yeah all

35:32

right you guys rush downstairs um and you guys can see that uh at that long uh

35:38

table that you guys had had seen the previous night um it is now uh it looks like a banquet hall pretty much um you

35:45

see about 15 patrons sitting there all of them dwarvish and you see them at

35:52

different ages different sizes and um all sitting there enjoying breakfast and uh as you guys

35:59

approach you see that there are a couple of seats that are not occupied at the moment um you guys

36:04

run up and there are actually um two of them that are right next to each other and as you guys go and sit down

36:11

you guys notice that there is a bunch of food laid out in the middle of the table

36:17

and people are pretty much just grabbing what they want there are some like biscuits there's some eggs that are

36:22

there um and just scooping onto their own plate and flynn as soon as you sit down um the dwarven man from the

36:29

previous night uh walks over in a much nicer apron than what he was in

36:35

last night um comes over with a nice little uh a plate and it's got a a

36:41

perfect lemon pastry sitting on top of it oh is this for me

36:46

that's for you this looks amazing that's pretty good well i know the best place

36:51

to get these so it's going to have to be pretty good to be better than that well now you know the best place to get these

36:58

and he walks away oh i stare at it oh look a shred do you want some

37:04

maybe just a tad is there a silverworld i'll cut it in half okay you cut it in half and like this

37:10

this lemon filling begins to pour out well here

37:16

take half i grab half i taste it uh is it good it is

37:23

incredibly sugary it is this light flaky crispy pastry on the outside and then on

37:31

the inside it's got this this warm uh lemon filling i'm staring at him

37:37

like as soon as i headed to him i was just intently one is is it good it's i it's all

37:44

it's a lot i may have to follow it up with the with something what does a lot mean it's

37:51

a lot of good great goodness really yes yes uh oh no way and i'll dive in and start chowing

37:57

down okay um flynn as you're eating this thing um it is good it is really good

38:03

but it's it's just missing like that that yeah it's missing that taste of home

38:10

it's missing something i mean like this is all right but it'll whisper

38:15

i think the uh i think the ones in hunter felt are better yes where we all have our

38:21

our preferences for the places we love well i'm gonna go get some eggs and i'll get up and go get it and immediately as

38:26

he goes gets up some eggs i'm gonna like slip my uh i'm gonna slip my hand under the

38:32

table and uh i'm gonna just like feel around for like any anything raw that someone

38:39

might have left like some like seeds or like just scraps really okay make an investigation check yeah

38:48

ah that is gonna be gonna be gonna be a oh i don't get anything out of that

38:55

okay that's a name um an eight uh there are just like scattered on the ground underneath your

39:01

chair just like some um some sesame seeds that uh someone probably put over their dinner

39:08

last night that just fell onto the ground oh yes seed seeds give them to me i say this

39:14

under my breath and i look up and around perhaps for any

39:19

like uh since they're scattered uh like where like a condiment bar is or like places to like

39:26

put toppings on you see all of the food here is laid out on the table at the

39:31

moment you don't see any sesame seeds you do see a little bowl of um like some nuts at the end of the the other end of

39:37

the table i'm gonna as casually and as possible go over there and try to

39:44

take the entire bowl of that okay make a slight of hand check

39:49

all right oh sleight of hand all right i got okay get something

39:55

god that's a good um it's lucky though right as you reach out um you see a dwarven man uh sitting

40:02

there who has uh this this sort of sort of uh short and well-kept white beard

40:09

he's got little tiny reading glasses on his face um very well dressed he's got

40:14

like this full three-piece suit and he's got a book in his hands as he's as he's reading it and as he he doesn't even

40:20

take his his eyes up from the book that he's reading as he goes are you going to take all of that

40:26

oh uh i'd have just forgotten myself uh

40:34

well uh and i look him dead in the eye and i say [Music]

40:40

i have quite a few dietary restrictions i think they're called and

40:47

well uh if these fine nuts are not in short supply and i

40:52

uh actually i'm gonna pull out a gold piece yes i i would rather like to take the whole thing

40:58

uh make a persuasion check

41:03

why oh uh well no that's an eight an eight what oh and

41:10

i'm not good at that um he says well um i

41:15

first of all i don't need your money um and second of all you may take a few

41:21

but the almonds will remain here then i will give you

41:26

[Music] fine dwarf and gentlemen the honor

41:33

of parsing it out for me and i like thrust the ball

41:38

into his hands and i say i trust your judgment

41:43

and he takes the ball and looking at it you can see it's it's almost three-quarters of the way full and he

41:48

sort of puts about half of it onto your plate [Music]

41:56

very very well i appreciate your generosity and i give

42:01

him a kind of like little nod and uh just a look

42:07

all right he goes straight back to his book uh i'm gonna tap i'm gonna like as i

42:13

walk away slowly tap the staff to the spot next to him and i want to try

42:19

to have something like slowly grow up and under his butt where he's sitting

42:27

like a plant yeah

42:32

not thorny but just something like that that might like tickle him a little bit

42:37

slap his butt okay you can make another slide of hand check all right what a morning

42:44

trying to find a seedy underbelly yeah literally literally that's a that's a nine

42:50

uh that's a nine let me see for the most part no one notices

42:58

and he's just tickled every now and then perhaps he doesn't know why perhaps he does if he looks he will uh he is into

43:04

his book he doesn't even care to check yeah all right um oma and kellick you guys

43:10

come down and find flynn try sitting there at the table um and there are two chairs uh that are vacant on the

43:17

opposite side of where they're sitting at the table guys over here on this side caleb

43:23

yeah something um i don't know if it's because i was in

43:29

your body recently but are they always so crazy

43:34

they're just like running around everywhere and causing havoc everywhere we go i think they're relieved alma

43:40

you know it's been stressful time for us and people will bottle up all that energy sometimes

43:46

and then when you get a chance to let it out it can be a bit uh chaotic but how do you keep up

43:55

yeah as you can plainly see i don't i'm i'm traveling behind here pretty

44:00

steadily you just try you steal your darndest

44:06

when you show people your best uh they'll return it iphone and uh

44:11

um chaos notwithstanding okay

44:17

i don't understand any of that um maybe it's something you just learn in

44:24

time maybe do you find their actions uh upsetting

44:31

well when they wake you up like that yeah well yeah but you know flynn's proud of himself he's

44:38

been really hard on himself lately and honestly as as much as i don't like to be

44:43

awoken uh it's good to see him not be so angry at himself not so

44:50

tower your guess any situation like that you know even

44:57

sure i had to face in the room with those vines there are good sights and bad sights you know there's

45:03

always always a spectrum of of

45:09

ways to look at what's going on and uh i find it's good to keep them in

45:14

balance as much as possible as much as i struggled with myself then

45:20

i'd look at my ash covered trinket and my and my just still kind of crafts

45:26

that grasped in my head why'd you see me have some breakfast

45:32

yeah i see some biscuits with my name on it [Music] they don't say your name that's silly oh

45:39

you look right here there's a little and i'm gathering and playing it see this one uh oh they spelled it wrong you

45:45

know they only used one and this one they put an r in there for some reason

45:51

well oh and this one this one i i think is meant for someone else but let's just say it has my name on it let's just say

45:59

i continue doing this routine for as long as oma will entertain it okay um all right and then all of you guys uh

46:05

at at this point come and sit down at the table i'm not i'm not actually sitting at the table i'm in the corner

46:10

just mowing down on this the nuts that i have in my hand and every now and then if you look over you you'll be like

46:19

and these like kind of just it's just satisfied just all right everyone else sees uh shreya is starting to get some

46:24

stairs um some people are starting to to take note of

46:30

him standing in the corner just some odd looks does anybody look not bothered by this

46:37

um strangely the dwarven man in the suit reading his

46:42

book he is really into that book okay hmm um does anyone look especially

46:51

bothered by it um make an inside check you mentioned the book and

46:57

with my more fascination with them can i maybe glean what it is just take a look over

47:02

while i'm sitting and eating can i maybe try and figure it out yeah make a perception check for them okay 24 on the 24. you do see um that there

47:10

is a woman sitting there with uh what is presumably her two children sitting next

47:15

to her um and as she's like passing out food to her kids she keeps giving him this side eye

47:22

okay i'll just clock that okay i'm just watching for potential threats and also

47:28

i'm trying to keep an eye out for the uh the proverbial cd underbelly

47:35

okay uh flynn what was that role um eight an eight

47:41

eight yeah okay um he does actually sort of prop it up against himself at a

47:47

certain point and so the cover is is showing um you've never seen this book before but you are able to to read the

47:53

cover um and the cover says the tumultuous findings of grumbleo greenward

48:00

okay i'll note that but it doesn't seem like

48:05

it's like a spell book or anything like magic stuff you can't tell

48:11

i'll finish my breakfast and then okay make my way over to him all right [Music]

50:06

uh there we go oh nothing no nothing uh 15. 15. okay you're looking over the table you're getting desperate um and

50:13

you see in uh nestled in like a little basket of lettuce and you couldn't see it before because

50:19

there's like a lot of lettuce around it is a little bowl of sesame seeds yes the sauce and i grab it and i just

50:27

uh take it and i bring it back to another corner of the room perhaps uh and try to more silently

50:34

i would like to try to block it like stop like at the table i would like to try to like grab onto frya's arm just casually

50:41

as he's doing this and just whisper you know

50:47

it would be less obvious that you were doing this if you did it at a table

50:54

i don't want to be near any other people right now everybody's watching you

51:01

and i stealthily and i stealthily try to slip under the table

51:16

there's no stealth check for this you are a giant bird climbing under a table the table what are the rest of you guys

51:22

doing i just follow him back to the table and sit at it and just like [ __ ] literally just

51:28

carry on i don't even look at him i just carry on eating my biscuits uh what is everyone in this area doing now i'll

51:35

look around as i see he's making a scene so i look around to see what the patrons of the park are everyone is like you can

51:40

see a couple people have like sort of scooted themselves out from the table a little bit um the the mother of the two

51:46

children is at this point she's not like trying to hide her her stare she is full on staring um

51:53

fancy tavern this is a really fancy place and jakarta is still reading this book i will uh i will just raise my hand

51:58

as i as he makes this a ruckus endorsement my deepest apologies he's just very very hungry and he kind of

52:05

gets um beside himself apologies let's just say that endorvish as he's chowing down

52:13

okay doesn't seem to change the mood of i

52:20

guys maybe we can just get some of these seeds and nuts to go maybe seeds and nuts are all ready to go

52:27

flynn they're all around uh yeah why don't we just get out of here though as he says that the bowl just

52:33

slides out from underneath the table across the room

52:39

okay it looks like you guys are done with breakfast [Music]

52:44

but wait

52:50

like a little sandwich to go like i've like made this fit this whole time just like making myself a little like

52:56

egg bread whatever and like put it in a napkin to take with me okay awesome

53:03

so as you guys are getting up from the table i'm i'm gonna interrupt you um as you guys are getting up from the table

53:09

what what's what's the game plan um as you guys are leaving breakfast guys i i know we got stuff i mean i guess we can

53:14

come back but we may not bet be back i'd like to go to the temple um

53:20

uh of zachariah uh i think i have unfinished business there uh and uh i

53:25

might be able to use the people there as a resource for information that's my only thought uh if anybody has a better

53:32

idea i'm happy to hear it um no um i'm thinking about

53:38

walking around those statues of of like the the the royalty and maybe just like

53:45

looking and seeing if i can see any sneaky ways inside the walls walls

53:54

for those were those statues near where the prison was do we know where the prison is actually um you guys actually

54:00

at this point don't even know where the prison is oh but we do know that there's walls

54:06

separating like an inner city right yes so um there is so what you guys have

54:12

discovered in oak inspire is um you guys know where the park is you guys know where hayfried's

54:19

teleportation circle is and you guys know that in the middle of this giant city there's an entire portion of it

54:26

that is that is just miles and miles across that is completely walled off um

54:32

that has those statues around [Music] it um yeah we could look for an entrance

54:40

or at least uh try to we could ask someone how to get i was just thinking about just walking around and seeing

54:46

what i can see and and and doing some research yes perhaps there are notices about the

54:53

comings and goings of the things that happen here or like we could see guard towers does this tavern have a bookshelf

55:01

um it has quite a few yeah over by that fireplace okay if i a cursory inspection

55:06

because we're done with breakfast uh is there like a history of oak inspire

55:13

or like some kind of like uh make an investigation check for

55:18

me investigation uh 15 15. um as you're looking through

55:26

you're seeing a couple of fiction books um a couple of things there's there's one about like um

55:33

uh the founder of this this in and sort of like the history of the inn and um

55:39

you actually go through and you see one that's called oak inspire a history and i will pluck that from the shelf and

55:45

i will try to see if there's in the table of contents mayhaps something about this like inner

55:51

city for sure um yeah you do see a uh a couple of chapters dedicated to the

55:58

inner part of the city okay um can i

56:04

with the i don't know um

56:09

is there is there a what's the first paragraph tell me of one of these chapters i'll

56:15

just i'll just tell you as you flip through this this is a there's like

56:20

there's quite a few pictures inscriptions um none of the actual text is like

56:26

these huge long pieces of text it's actually quite brief and what it what it tells you and uh pretty concise so as

56:33

you're looking through uh one of the first things is sort of the overview of the city um you see that this city um

56:40

while it is massive is divided up into five sections there's the northern district southern district eastern

56:47

district and western district there is also that center part of the the city

56:53

which is the royal district um you see that the royal district is

56:59

just as large maybe a little bit smaller than the rest of of the the districts around it um just in

57:05

size and amount of buildings and everything but each district uc could pretty much operate as its own city

57:12

it has its own infrastructure it has its own um little sub-districts within it um

57:19

and everything and uh you see reading through um oak inspire

57:24

didn't wasn't always this big it was always the capital of caldor but

57:30

it wasn't always this big and it actually started sort of as its own almost

57:36

mini country and it produced it had its own economy and everything and what really made it

57:42

boom was the mines that were here the mines that go deep beneath the earth but then once kaldur um or once oak inspire

57:50

began accruing its wealth um they were able to reach out and expand their influence to around the

57:56

rest of kaldor and sort of get uh get a good hold over the rest of the country and they moved their mining operations

58:02

out of the capital and just made this one central place to have um sort of the bureaucracy and and the high class of

58:10

society um so that's sort of the the main gist that you get is there are a bunch of these different districts and

58:16

mainly the eastern district used to be the main mining facility before now it is converted into

58:23

just a another district of the city can i ask a question yes

58:30

did cal did oak inspire join kaldor or did kaldor grow out of oak inspire

58:37

um caldor they were sort of created simultaneously and oak inspire was designated as

58:43

the capital um but in those early days it was very much like

58:49

it's it's difficult to reach and have influence over the entire country so even though it was a singular

58:55

country a lot of it was sort of governing itself until openspar was able

59:00

to actually um get its its reach to uh uh a substantial point

59:08

um okay anything in there about a

59:16

prison so um i'm gonna have you make

59:22

an uh intelligence check for me

59:28

that was just sort of the the the first chapter the general overview the history and then after the history a

59:34

brief history um and then they sort of get into the the more details that's a

59:39

five it's a five um you don't get an exact location but

59:44

you do know that you you catch a little glimpse of

59:50

a lot of these mines these these things that used to be the mines

59:55

have been converted into military projects prisons um a lot of

1:00:01

those old structures um once the mining was moved out of oak and spire those were converted into

1:00:07

um yeah military installments prisons um and different things that mostly the

1:00:12

royal family uses um are we just sitting around while he's looking at like do we are we there are

1:00:17

we yeah this takes a couple minutes okay so we're just hanging out at the table finishing our exactly yeah um

1:00:23

you finding anything um as i returned from the fireplace having reshuffled the book

1:00:30

well uh it seems that the um

1:00:36

from what has like uh uh consumed um

1:00:41

the uh prison might be in the eastern district where they were once mines

1:00:47

which means for [ __ ] underground present that's going to be an even harder uh

1:00:54

caper than the last week do you think that this that's the only book over there that had any information

1:01:01

i took a pretty good look at it i think so yeah um i mean if it helps i

1:01:06

i was talking and i'll point out the dwarf that has the book i was talking to him and he said that there's a bookstore down

1:01:12

the street maybe they have plans or blueprints or something maybe we can

1:01:18

check that out and then couldn't hurt trying all my can go scope the place out

1:01:29

yeah it might be over there they can look the place look at the place and we can check out the

1:01:35

just play like the store or the bookstore later on

1:01:41

that seemed good to you guys what was that huh look well we're gonna see if we can get more information at a at a

1:01:47

bookstore library i guess and you wanted to sneak around and maybe you can go go with

i i really want us to be successful in our endeavor here and

1:02:07

1:02:14

little bits and pieces of pranks and jokes into the fold we may not be here

1:02:20

for long if i continue that and i realize that it isn't the best environment for

1:02:26

pranks yes i can see that as i look around uh can i tell

1:02:32

that what's the what's been caused in the room or like just gauge people's

1:02:37

about it i'm just gonna i'm just gonna i'll just take a step outside

1:02:48

i'm gonna go outside uh and outside i'm gonna look around for um seeing that my in other calderian cities

1:02:55

have been very clear about rules and regulations i'm just gonna look around if there are any like postings or

1:03:01

notices or like general guidelines uh posted anywhere about just the city and the uh

1:03:08

way of being in it okay um before you do that as you walk out of this

1:03:36

character a muscular copper dragonborn with scarlet eyes stands six and a half feet

1:03:42

tall a strong brow traces back to small horns and a crest of scales falls to above her shoulders brown fur lines the

1:03:49

knuckles of her hand of her clawed hands and her feet she donned brown short pants and a loose olive green shirt

1:03:56

adorned with several strands of leather across and around her torso one of several necklaces bears teeth and bones

1:04:03

she carries a large backpack with an odd mix of tools and weapons a mace hangs from a large multi-pocketed belt and her

1:04:10

right hand bears a maul a closer look you can see a long gash along the back of her right forearm and the dented and

1:04:17

chipped scales of her left cheek lend to the crooked smile that greets you

1:04:22

i take another step back uh but i will assure you uh i am uh i am very uh welcoming to the

1:05:50

different beings of the earth i believe all beings have a place here and i try to attempt an odd kind of bow

i would recommend not seeking trouble i don't know how long you've been on in oak inspire but it is not a place that

1:09:17

you engage in trouble per se we sort of make a habit

1:09:23

of trouble well so if you were to you know if you just wanted to to know

1:09:29

where to avoid you know

1:09:44

does the name agents of repair mean anything to you

1:09:49

yeah oh um yes

1:09:55

i i've heard that name before yeah that's us

1:10:00

what oh i mean that's us that have heard of that now

1:10:06

looked at kelly and like that's what i heard about that name before i just shake my head

1:10:13

king of keeping secrets this one i'm trying okay we have gone by that uh title rather

1:10:20

recently where'd you come upon hearing it um

1:10:26

from a a friend of mine um

1:10:32

i'm a bit concerned let's um move down here for a little bit more privacy there's a little bit too much traffic

1:10:37

here if you don't mind and i sort of lead them around the corner towards like an alleyway i'm so

1:10:43

cautiously following wait where are you going and as i see her leading them on

1:10:50

and i i look over this being put them under a spell of some sort and i uh i wander up behind uh

1:10:57

and i look around where are we going is you being led by this hello again hi

1:11:05

i can see your new leaf of not being disruptive try it's really going great for you

1:11:12

i'm sometimes a fast learner sometimes a slow learner where aren't we all are we all

1:11:18

steady on try and i i put a clawed hand just on his shoulder to just try to calm him

1:11:24

down by just going around the corner oh writer that actually feels kind of nice

1:11:31

all right the rest of you guys are following sure yeah tentative words okay all right um

1:11:37

make your way around the corner and uh you guys are in a pretty secluded alleyway in between two buildings at

1:11:43

this point um you said a friend sent you to find us

1:11:52

yes i got a message from a friend um you may have heard but just for my edification to verify that you are in

1:11:59

fact the people that i'm searching for he is a resident of marstock

1:12:06

uh you're gonna have to be more specific if we have a an acquaintance with a one-armed

1:12:12

uh horse keeper in marstock we've got um

1:12:17

well maybe just that one well there's a gnome that turned into uh a club we know

1:12:23

a lot of people we know we're okay um i know a woman who owns a farm and she loves me

1:12:29

she invited me to dinner anytime so is that your friend with the uh sheep farm

1:12:36

uh-huh not the friend i'm speaking of but i do frequent marstock i was just there

1:12:42

about a month or so ago and i have a friend there who works in a temple

1:12:48

and there's only one temple in narstock is it that temple it's it's the only one

1:12:55

okay oh my god this is so annoying do you know hey freedom

1:13:02

are you the one in charge little one yes and i just give her a little link

1:13:10

yes so i i have received a message from hayfried that i should seek out the agents of

1:13:16

repair because you are sort of on a mission and may need some assistance

1:13:22

that's so cool that he sent somebody along to help us full of favors

1:13:27

oh how cool um we could use help

1:13:33

we are um trying to do something crazy

1:13:39

and he gave us some tools but this place is kind of

1:13:46

tough so we do need a little bit of help wait

1:13:55

how do you know hatefully again we've known each other for a few years um

1:14:00

[Music] it's a very long story but basically we have an understanding based on our past

1:14:07

are you married this wouldn't be the checkered past of their friends would it

1:14:12

i i put my staff on kayla's shoulder helic the friend of hayfried's probably very

1:14:18

powerful indeed perhaps we should welcome any kind of power

1:14:24

i don't welcome the powers of evil shraya so i'd like to confirm exactly what the nature of this

1:14:30

person's relationship with hereford was we are in a very treacherous place i might welcome any kind of power right

1:14:37

now as i take a step back speaking of this place

1:14:42

what's your allegiance with kaldore

1:14:48

and you just see me sort of uncomfortably shift and stand up straighter inside and say

1:14:57

very hesitantly take a deep breath and say i

1:15:02

served with the army of caldo and i flash some my military credentials and

1:15:07

say but when it comes to allegiance i am aligned with the side of peace

1:15:16

i'll look her out of the group good answer

1:15:22

or one could say repair

1:15:28

i i shake my i like lean over to cover how's everyone acting so weird i i not skeletons usually the the other

1:15:35

short one has more jokes um but

1:15:40

i still feel dissatisfied hey fred

1:15:45

how do you know it is a quite long story but basically

1:15:55

jeffrey made us living as a torturer and you have met hayford and you know

1:16:01

that he has changed and i met him quite a ways back i had heard

1:16:08

him in my travels as a mercenary that there was an evil mage

1:16:14

and i was sent to find him and when i did i hayfried and i had a very long talk

1:16:22

and we understand that sometimes especially

1:16:27

in times of war the darkness will pull you or

1:16:32

you will do things that you absolutely regret and you try to live the rest of your life making up for it

1:16:40

hatred is a friend of mine and i trust him and therefore i feel i can trust you

1:16:47

and this is you making up for it in some ways yes

1:16:55

well we're trying to break into a prison

1:17:03

i'm not just killing i thought you were trying to keep secrets i just

1:17:09

my head has barely stopped shaking this entire conversation okay well obviously she's here to help

1:17:14

us in hay fruit center so i mean when when i was in your body i could talk to

1:17:20

hayfree why don't you just ask him oh yeah uh i didn't prepare that spell today

1:17:26

well why not it seems like a really convenient spell i don't like to just

1:17:32

really nearly talk to people why not have you met him

1:17:40

but it seems like a really convenient thing to do that you just avoid doing sure

1:17:46

there's lots of things that people might consider convenient that i avoid and trust in folks is also one of them

1:17:53

so i i appreciate you being here uh did hayford

1:17:58

give you anything to go on or did you just send your way essentially sent me to find you i know

1:18:05

that you are up to your mission and that is about it but you're trying to break into a prison is that what you said i mean

1:18:14

effectively break in break out movement

1:18:20

i don't know i just i just kind of like open open

1:18:27

palm my hands towards everybody just yeah well you wouldn't have to do that if you had a way of talking to him

1:18:34

if you had any special at your disposal that didn't just blow buildings up then we'd have a lot of solutions to our

1:18:40

problems you do lots of things and i like

1:18:46

push my hands down like so hard and i stomp my feet and i disappear

1:18:52

oh what oh no homer ugh where did you go i'm not gonna fall

1:18:59

for this one alma i'm not bothered to not all you can disappear all you like child

1:19:05

where did she go and i'm leaning back against the wall with my arms like cross just watching this really just amuse

1:19:12

what's going on i i i uh i lean in and and i say all

1:19:18

right fine if you're really acquainted with hayfried what does his inner sanctum look like huh has he has

1:19:25

he ever given you any information has he ever showed you the depths of what he

1:19:30

can do and i look back at the rest of the party this shouldn't be too hard right

1:19:37

and i look at trying perhaps we don't know the same hatred

1:19:44

because hayfried has given up using essentially all magic

1:19:49

he lives in a temple he lives a very quiet life and that is the life that he's chosen so that he can

1:19:55

seek his reprieve from his his past ah

1:20:01

we might but then again and i look at my i look at myself i look at the party the rest part i look at

1:20:07

myself i look at the rest of the party and i i give like a little nod

1:20:12

something tells me we do we might actually know the same hatred

1:20:18

yeah after about a minute [Laughter]

1:20:27

i come back except i was watching all this and now i'm behind kellic

1:20:34

and i just like poke him on the side real hard i if i can

1:20:40

yeah ignore it i'm feeling the wall in the area where alma was and i'm like

1:20:46

i know do i notice her show up behind kellic um yeah you would notice her pop back in

1:20:52

yeah um teach me oh i need to

1:20:57

um

1:21:17

[Music] [Laughter]

1:21:25

just chilling okay let me see what happens here oh

1:21:31

geez let's see what a morning um at least we got breakfast

1:21:43

[Music]

1:21:52

um faraday i'm gonna have you make a i'm going to have you make a

1:21:59

charisma check right now [Music]

1:22:06

17. 17. um so i am i am qualifying you as an ally

1:22:12

with in this spell um so everyone here everyone uh has a minus two penalty on attack and

1:22:20

damage rolls um for the next minute okay

1:22:25

so what happens yeah um you guys uh i feel like as as um

1:22:31

omaha pops back into existence like this this wave of sort of like concussive energy slowly

1:22:38

expands out around her yeah me too or just around me just around you

1:22:44

um and and it slowly uh makes its way and envelops all of you and for the next minute all of you guys just feel a

1:22:50

little bit like off balance like like the um the the stability within your head is

1:22:57

just sort of thrown off a little bit do i also feel this you do not because i feel how it was like the last few days

1:23:02

for me kind of like but like it's similar yeah [Music] maybe don't teach me

1:23:09

see i didn't blow up anything all right

1:23:14

[Applause] is it possible to tell where it emanated from or are we just like a little bit

1:23:20

out of it make a perception check for me actually uh i'm i'm just gonna use it

1:23:25

oh okay there you go um yeah as you saw oma as soon as she popped back in right behind

1:23:31

kayla can you see this like wave of like energy coming out from her i have my

1:23:37

emotion my staff over there this one always sometimes maybe uh

1:23:47

there are unexpected outbursts and if if you can deal with that then

1:23:53

well uh maybe you can help us

1:23:58

ah if hayford sent you to us then he knew what we were on about

1:24:04

then did he give you any of that information

1:24:10

he just said that um my skills would be of use to you here what are your skills

1:24:16

indeed um as i said i was part of the uh army of cardone so i'm assuming that

1:24:24

as i used to work in the prison system that and you seem to be wanting to break

1:24:29

into a prison that that is exactly why he contacted me

1:24:38

i had to ensure that you're the right people i don't know if you realize this but we are in oak inspire they take things very

1:24:45

seriously here now someone who used to belong to the army of carl door if i get any trouble with caldwell i will be

1:24:50

labeled a traitor well uh spend enough time with us breaking into prisons i think you're

1:24:56

gonna get labeled as a traitor either way this is why i rely on my skills and that

1:25:01

is why i'm checking to make sure that you are who you say you are but again i as i said you're a friend of hey freed and he has

1:25:07

sent me to assist you and depending on your plans and what uh

1:25:14

exactly you are trying to do in this prison i may or may not assist you with this because again i do desire to not be

1:25:21

labeled as a traitors i would like to go on living outside of um my time here in elk inspire you said

1:25:29

prisons how how many how many prisons are there scattered across this nation of caldo

1:25:35

is is it all the prisons that you're familiar with or or do you know slash have clearance with

1:25:42

the the uh my head is still spinning with the prison in this city

1:25:50

i worked two years in this the prison here in oaklands by the main prison was that before or after you met

1:25:56

hayfried before okay so then you met hayfried and then you decided

1:26:03

that you didn't want to be part of cal durian military anymore or you still are part of it i'm

1:26:09

just really confused you say you don't want to be a traitor

1:26:15

but you also want to be on part of peace you may or may not break into a prison

1:26:21

for us depending on what our plan is and i just need to know like

1:26:26

if you don't like our plan are you gonna tell your friends in the military

1:26:32

or like i just don't really know what side you're on

1:26:38

what do you consider peace like you consider this peace this

1:26:44

we are in a war child no no i know that but like there's not a

1:26:49

war here and at night everybody has to like hide so would you consider this piece one thing that i

1:26:56

respect about oak inspire is that there is an understanding of rules and

1:27:04

law and good behavior and there are

1:27:10

there are good people and bad people on both sides but timmy was just a kid and he got

1:27:16

taken to prison just because he didn't have he lost his papers and that seems a bit extreme like they might cut off his

1:27:22

hand and all because he didn't have any papers and our friend from we were trying to find her and she was just

1:27:27

working in a temple like sweeping and they took her and then like xavier they took him and all we were

1:27:34

doing was studying so like it doesn't really seem to me like that's there are good people and

1:27:40

bad people on both sides don't oh my dad i can't believe i'm saying this

1:27:47

have some respect for the city that we're in even though it's populated with yeah

1:27:53

beings like dwarves we can also perhaps

1:27:59

bow to those who may be from other types of backgrounds as i and as i say that i

1:28:05

look over and i'm just fascinated i'm just fascinated by like just how this how this dragonborn

1:28:11

is like like just just almost like i'm looking at like a

1:28:17

like an alien almost and just like mystified third day

1:28:23

say we were too uh we were planning on uh getting uh uh

1:28:31

three people one of very high uh interest

1:28:37

uh out of the prison here in oak say we were to do that we were planning

1:28:43

on doing that and that we did not plan on harming

1:28:49

anyone past them necessary amount where does that situation

1:28:56

[Music] well i did serve in the army of caldwell and i i i approached calaxo where like

1:29:03

face to face while i did serve in the army of caldwell i have no allegiance to

1:29:09

ongoing battles and fights my desire is for peace and unfortunately

1:29:16

in war not everybody understands the value of life

1:29:22

[Music] it seems like you do how are you achieving peace

1:29:29

right now what are you doing right now

1:29:34

[Music] peace is my ideal but i understand i am i'm but one being and

1:29:42

i can only do so much i and i and i kneel down towards um

1:29:48

omar [Music] young one

1:29:54

you've lived your entire life with all around you you probably only know

1:30:02

violence and anger and and choosing sides

1:30:10

when you look at some of these soldiers they only know one way

1:30:16

and especially when you're in the military you you're almost groomed to think one way

1:30:23

you're groomed to think that the other side are bad and and you should stop it

1:30:29

nothing to to win i am not that

1:30:37

i lived too long as soldier fighting before i realized that

1:30:44

i had lost my way and that is why i left the military i'm finding my own way traveling and trying to learn i

1:30:53

i am trying to understand

1:30:58

how we can bring everybody to the table because i believe that is the way that we we find peace

1:31:05

so i've spent my my last few years traveling i understand your concerns with

1:31:12

what side and what allegiance i may have but i assure you i have no allegiance to the

1:31:19

khaljo army but i also would rather not place myself in

1:31:25

risk of being a traitor if you do not have a plan that i feel will be successful then i will have to

1:31:33

step away and wish you the best of luck but no

1:31:39

know that i understand that even in a place like this

1:31:47

even in war you there are good people and they may be lost

1:31:54

but we do have to respect life regardless i'll reach over and i'll grab her hand

1:32:00

and i'll just hold it and i'll say you sound really scared

1:32:07

and like you don't know what you want to do to get peace

1:32:14

and i'm scared too and i don't know what i'm gonna do to

1:32:20

get repair but we're all just working towards it

1:32:27

and and taking the next best step forward if i had to hazard a guess

1:32:33

i'd say everything sent you to us because our name is the agents of repair

1:32:42

but it's also our purpose we

1:32:47

in our messy uh poorly thought-hot way

1:32:53

uh are trying to put back together the rift between this country

1:32:59

and between this land

1:33:05

i don't know that we can keep your um

1:33:11

citizenship here safe but i can guarantee you that our aim

1:33:16

is just my my friend

1:33:23

he was trying to help me he was trying to help me phone find where i come from and

1:33:28

and why i can't control anything and he was trying to help me figure that out and and

1:33:37

and he thought he was on the right path but then they took him so i don't know

1:33:43

what he found out or why they took him

1:33:48

and considering you can just like get like picked up for anything like not having the right papers

1:33:56

it could have been anything i will say this i only laid eyes upon him once when i

1:34:04

looked into his eyes seemed like he'd seen generations

1:34:10

of things he'd rather not have seen and i looked over to

1:34:15

the rest of the party perhaps that's what the caldurians might be afraid of and why they are keeping

1:34:23

him under such tight lock and key perhaps they are afraid

1:34:28

of him we don't want to hurt anybody and i can't guarantee that

1:34:36

getting these three people out of prison is gonna bring peace

1:34:43

but it's the next right thing to do

1:34:51

and hopefully eventually that leads us to the right place just as hey freeze

1:34:56

[Music] stones in his chamber form and we're just putting one foot in front

1:35:02

of the other and this is the the next step toward uh almost even a

1:35:08

personal piece if you will

1:35:14

do you still have any association with the caldorian

1:35:19

military are there are there ways that we could

1:35:24

other ways that you could make contact with them i i think a plan might be hatching in my

1:35:29

own brain based on my experience with the previous prison complex that i investigated

1:35:36

perhaps perhaps you could be attempting to imprison us

1:35:42

perhaps you could be returning to the military and

1:35:48

taking us in a sort of deceptive way into the prison as

1:35:54

prisoners what do you all think about that that gets us in but um

1:36:00

how do we get out then i hadn't quite figured that part out yet we improvise

1:36:06

i don't like the way we embrace hey we've been all right i was so far

1:36:13

i'm sorry so you had no plan about how to well we were in the midst of forming it

1:36:19

yeah we were about we just got here and i don't know if you know this but like i was not in my body for so long and we

1:36:28

had to figure that out first okay there was an island and it was crazy sorry you were not

1:36:34

you were not in your own body as you said it was a long story i speak

1:36:40

for yourself and i rub my knees sorely as you said it was a long story we also have quite a few long stories

1:36:46

maybe best to leave that one on set for now yeah point is we just haven't had

1:36:52

time to really focus on it which is what we were gonna do right now and we were gonna make a plan we weren't just gonna

1:36:57

like run in i was gonna go and like scope out the

1:37:02

wall and like learn a bit more about the area and

1:37:07

i think they were gonna go to like the library or something with books and

1:37:12

figure some stuff out and like we were just gonna come back together tonight and and come

1:37:18

up with something you know but you just happen to fall into our laps because of

1:37:23

hayfreed which you know all thanks to hayfreed thanks afraid and i just kind of like shake my head and

1:37:30

say to myself what is this old man gotten me into he sent you to us to help us because you

1:37:37

know the prisons clearly he knew that you knew the and what you knew could help us

1:37:43

you're not quite i think that's right anyway i followed that particular

1:37:48

surprise to help us so tell me a bit more about your friend

1:37:54

please my friend yes um well

1:38:00

he's kind of like hayford if hey free didn't have a checkered past like he can do a lot of things

1:38:06

i don't really know his past so i mean i guess he could have a checkered past but like i don't think he does um

1:38:12

but he he helped me i i wasn't raised with him but like once

1:38:18

i got into town he found me and he knows how to do magic and i know how to do magic but it's kind of different

1:38:25

like i don't know how to do it the way he does it and he can't do it the way i do it but

1:38:31

he was helping me figure that out and we traveled for like a little bit and and and and and then he was taken and that's

1:38:38

kind of all i know um so we're talking about

1:38:47

oh and i just sort of take a moment and start uh pace back and forth

1:38:53

so your friend is a highly powerful

1:38:59

[Music] magic user is that what you're telling me yes so he's got these apparently according to he's got these like metal

1:39:05

things on his arms that don't let him do any magic but hey free gave us a little piece of string right here and i pull out the little piece of string and we're

1:39:11

supposed to wrap it around his arms and it's supposed to undo them help us get him out

1:39:22

your plan is to somehow go into one of

1:39:27

the most protected prisons in to get a magical prisoner who is going to be

1:39:34

very well guarded very difficult to access and

1:39:39

use something from hayfreed and then somehow escape

1:39:45

well shreya saw him in prison before and he wasn't that guarded so i mean it shouldn't be that hard here

1:39:51

we're still forming the plan especially i think we already mentioned like yeah and he was not in the process

1:39:58

i think they think that the magical cuff things are like all he really needs because he wasn't really

1:40:04

around a lot of people before when i saw him when i saw him they were transporting him and then he had like lots of guards but it's different it's

1:40:10

totally different he doesn't even seem to remain in one place for very long there is a chance that we go into that

1:40:17

prison and he's been moved again i'll turn to uh faraday

1:40:23

listen i know this sounds like a lot because it is

1:40:29

and i just sort of smile again i guess i'm looking up um but

1:40:36

we're going to do it we're going to try and

1:40:42

if you want to help us [Music] you can come along this

1:40:48

is apparently how you're finding peace so it's up to you

1:40:54

also if you don't want to come with us you don't have to but we could use your help coming up with a plan because at least you know the prison so like if you

1:41:01

could just like help us build a map even that would be great anything you could give us would be helpful just your just

1:41:07

your knowledge you know so so maybe he didn't send you to us to like get us in and get us out and then you

1:41:14

won't have to be a trader you can just like give us information

1:41:19

and help us build a plan with your military strategy because you're so wise and big

1:41:25

and strong she's pretty big yeah and pretty and interesting

1:41:32

why doesn't she ever talk to me like that

1:41:37

you're pretty too kellick thank you please look at elmo with this smile of

1:41:43

like her child while

1:41:48

this does sound intriguing i will have to bring up

1:41:55

that my services do not come for free okay well what do you mean i mean hatred

1:42:01

sent you to us so what do you want

1:42:08

well and i do want you to consider also that not only are getting my expertise but if

1:42:13

i come with you again i am risking my own potential future depending on how

1:42:21

this goes okay what is the price for a plan and what is the price for your help how's a magical sword sound to you

1:42:29

yeah and i just sort of indicate the giant maul that's in my

1:42:35

head yeah that one's pretty cool i'm just not at it yes

1:42:41

okay that so doesn't answer my question what's your price we're well aware of the risk you'd be taking to aid us but

1:42:46

we're not uh brimming with time here so what is it will you help us or not and what's your

1:42:52

price that's it and i turned kalec because i'm assessing

1:42:57

that he's the leader he's taking charges

1:43:03

[Laughter]

1:43:19

125 gold so you'd betray a country for a bitter gold

1:43:26

did i say this was my country are you quite concerned with being a traitor

1:43:31

that's all makes them unwrapped you know what they do to treat us here we saw

1:43:37

we did all right ah do we have that

1:43:43

you know that yeah yeah yes 120 what's the cost for just coming

1:43:48

up with a plan i could um

1:43:55

discuss some things with you but the thing is what's the cause for like advisory support

1:44:01

advisory support hourly rate you know

1:44:07

and if you just want to bounce off your ideas off me then i

1:44:12

would say 25 gold and a nice meal

1:44:18

if we start with that do we get like a down payment or like

1:44:24

can it be deducted from that yeah exactly like if we buy a dinner and um get your planning

1:44:32

rate of 25 gold for some some insight and then we decide like hey we actually

1:44:37

get along and like you think i'm pretty too and you want to help me then is that then deducted and then we just

1:44:43

owe you 100 gold or now is that like now we won't need both do you do anything i sweep my wings out

1:44:50

and i like uh take a step in well if you want to take it from someone who is

1:44:55

actually quite versed with military negotiation and getting the best prices

1:45:02

i can tell you that uh it never usually takes this much time and perhaps we should find a

1:45:09

more scenic place to discuss these things and lay them out well it's just a yes or no question

1:45:17

depends on how good the dinner is huh you're the local where do you

1:45:22

recommend a nice place

1:45:27

um let me see it's still breakfast we've got a nice lunch you know a nice place yeah

1:45:35

you would uh be able to get a uh like a nice little lunch

1:45:41

at um

1:45:46

you know a little sandwich soup kind of deal a little combo half and half a little half and half

1:45:52

um at the broken lantern it's like a it's like a nice little

1:45:57

they're mostly dinners but like they do a nice lunch a nice bistro yeah yeah

1:46:03

now for us from where we are um that is gonna be about like a

1:46:09

15 to 20 minute walk yeah

1:46:14

so you guys are currently um the the you guys coming out of the park and

1:46:20

everything and this this in that you guys are staying at you guys are currently in the southern district um

1:46:26

but you guys are pretty close to the middle where the royal district is like you guys are are almost

1:46:32

coming up against that so if you wanted to go to the eastern or the western district it's not really that far um

1:46:38

away you guys are sort of in the middle of the the city pretty much um oh look to the group um

1:46:44

i don't know about you guys but i just ate a lot of food

1:46:49

um and it's still in the morning should we go like check some stuff out maybe if

1:46:56

do we have to pay you to walk with us this is getting weird but we could just go walk by the area that you were

1:47:03

talking about alma yeah i mean we kind of need some insight so i don't think the president is near the statues though

1:47:08

well maybe she can be eastern district prove to us that she has information that we can trust and we can go walk by

1:47:14

the royal area she can tell us a few things and then we can make our decision if we want to pay here yes take us around the

1:47:19

city a little bit yeah it's a very new area for us please um

1:47:24

i do have a lot of business in town i will give you an hour of my time this morning and you can decide in that time

1:47:31

[Music] all right fair enough just don't go out enough to your

1:47:36

military friends as friends of hayfreed i would not betray you as that so we've got an hour of your time

1:47:43

um i guess we should just use that with you giving us some insight into into the prison right so like

1:47:49

maybe we should just like go somewhere quiet or why don't we go back to that nice serene park i think it would be best if we head

1:47:56

toward where we're supposed to be heading in the long run actually get to lay the land with someone who's yeah can

1:48:02

you show us kind of like where the prison sites are and just walk in a safe distance around them so you

1:48:08

can kind of show us where we would be going how long would it take to get to

1:48:14

like where the like getting to the prison um you know these streets pretty well so i would say um

1:48:21

it would probably take you about a half an hour of of walking at a pretty good pace

1:48:29

i'm gonna clock everywhere she takes me just like building a map okay gotcha

1:48:34

okay are you guys heading over in that direction yes yes okay um awesome so you guys are

1:48:41

walking through the city oma you're taking notes of exactly where everything is

1:48:46

you're getting a pretty good map in your head of um of the city and where you're going and everything and um after about

1:48:53

30 minutes of walking uh you guys can see a building on the on the

1:48:59

sort of horizon as this city the some of the the buildings make way and it opens

1:49:05

up into this massive stone structure um you can see the way that you guys are

1:49:11

facing um you see one giant wall that's just flat you can't even see where it

1:49:18

turns if it even turns you guys can't see any of the other edges you can just see one flat face um and you see um

1:49:26

three of these um like uh giant towers um within the wall itself

1:49:34

um and you can see very well fortified this thing is um

1:49:40

probably i'd say about a hundred feet tall you don't see any stairs going up you barely

1:49:47

even see any loose stones that are protruding out from the wall um

1:49:52

just this massive wall so as you guys are approaching

1:49:59

you see it um are you guys going to try and walk around it [Music]

1:50:04

uh i'm going to defer to faraday where are you leading them are you

1:50:11

leading um you you know approaching it um you know if you go right you would be

1:50:17

sort of taking them on a tour of the entire wall um and if you go left you're

1:50:23

heading towards this side of it that has the main entrance which uh where are you gonna be taking him

1:50:31

um first i'm going to stop um

1:50:36

well this is first of all this is what you are trying to

1:50:42

uh breach right we have no uh

1:50:47

delusions about that and you said you had

1:50:52

you had your own experience breaking in and out of a prison before [Music]

1:50:58

it's solaris yeah we used the sewer system there to

1:51:04

penetrate you will not find that will assist you here that knowledge of under of them

1:51:12

the setup of this prison is going to be quite different than maybe what you've experienced in solaris

1:51:20

so there's no underground anywhere here i don't know how much you know about the history of oak and spire

1:51:26

but this used to be the old mining district so basically they converted mines into a prisons you cannot

1:51:33

they sort of built in when they created the prison they made everything internal because

1:51:40

they wanted to ensure the security of it that makes sense

1:51:46

so like are the prisoners in the tunnels and they sort of chuckle so

1:51:52

depending on the severity of the crimes they may be located in different

1:51:58

um parts of the prison as well as in different levels of the prison

1:52:05

okay so timmy just didn't have his papers so that's

1:52:10

probably like not somewhere right we don't really know what zeta did

1:52:17

so i don't unclear is there well my question is twofold

1:52:23

uh is there a log book somewhere where we could find the location of each of the prisoners that we're looking to

1:52:29

break free and do you have any proposal as to how we would get

1:52:34

through the front gate here maybe shreya's idea [Music]

1:52:40

there are there are records obviously that they keep of the prisoners

1:52:46

but we would or you really would have to find a way to access those records

1:52:53

and then find your way navigate the prison to find your friend we'd start there with the records and

1:53:01

then move on that makes sense to me why go forward if we don't know where to and we are slightly adept at uh

1:53:10

creating our own i say this really under my breath caldurian records

1:53:15

perhaps we could perhaps we could make some ourselves slightly adept is an apt choice of words

1:53:21

i would say yes yes indeed and one other question uh

1:53:28

do the caldorians use any tools animals other beasts to try to maintain order in

1:53:35

the prison or or is it just beings that looked like

1:53:41

and then i motioned to the rest of the party [Music] there are many different gods

1:53:48

um depending on the floor that you are trying to go to there are obviously going to be

1:53:54

guards patrolling all around it and on the different floors i cannot speak to exactly who would be on which floor

1:54:02

and who may be guarding which cell are there ever any like

1:54:07

dignitaries that visit or like people from other like because it would be better if not

1:54:13

all of us were prisoners right if only one of us were prisoners so like maybe there's a guard exchange

1:54:19

or like or like a prisoner exchange and like everybody was guards except for one

1:54:24

person does that ever happen there uh

1:54:30

again depending on the level that um your friend may be on there are constant

1:54:37

watches on essentially every level yeah

1:54:43

you would you would know um just that dimension of like dignitaries and stuff like that um there

1:54:49

are a couple of different um times that people can come in that aren't necessarily

1:54:54

guards um you do know that there are several like inspection teams um just to

1:55:00

make sure that everything is all up to the code that they have um make sure

1:55:05

that um magical prisoners aren't going to be escaping making sure all the equipment is is set up correctly um and

1:55:11

then there's also like um staff inspectors making sure that you know all

1:55:16

the guards are um doing their job correctly and and all of that um and

1:55:21

then you would also know that they contract outside cleaning crews to come

1:55:27

in and if something happens they gotta they gotta clean up um whether on purpose or on

1:55:32

accident uh they gotta have an outside cleaning crew come in and then um

1:55:40

just general maintenance um you would know also comes in

1:55:45

those are and then also eventually every once in a while um

1:55:50

there is like a um a guest of the royal family or a

1:55:57

governor or someone important coming in from out of town who um the the warden shows around

1:56:04

the prison so and to address your other question your other inquiry um

1:56:11

standard visitors are quite limited there are visiting hours but as far as

1:56:17

those who are not in the military who may be able to enter it

1:56:24

depends on their business there are certain visitors that are allowed there are obviously

1:56:29

[Music] you know they have to have crew to assist with

1:56:35

caring for the facility and and um ensuring especially for your more

1:56:43

dangerous criminals that the prisoner is

1:56:49

well guarded and that everything that needs to be done to ensure that the prisoner stays where they need to be

1:56:56

and that all all avenues have been addressed and that

1:57:02

there is no weaknesses um in their security systems

1:57:08

well that seems like there could be a couple of openings for us right uh

1:57:14

certainly some of us stand out a bit more than others uh so it'd be hard to pose as um

1:57:22

typical uh cleaning crew comparison but if we posed and and um

1:57:29

i don't want to be saying this like at the gate so like kind of like as we were walking around and as we're yeah um you

1:57:36

guys are still a couple streets away um but just the enormity of this thing you're well seen great and can i have

1:57:42

been keeping just an eye and air out for anyone who may be passing by for sure um

1:57:55

it could be wise to be an inspection team though because

1:58:01

it arguably if we're inspecting magic we would be magic users and some of us

1:58:08

would look different than others because we have the right skills so we could all go and and and and if we're

1:58:15

inspecting then we could make the warden show us where he keeps his records

1:58:21

because we're inspecting to make sure that they're secure and that their records are accurate are accurate and

1:58:27

then i mean we have plenty of tools to make notes that seem like they're

1:58:36

caldorian focused and and we could be from eyebrow race

1:58:41

and and faraday what's your when you left the military were you on

1:58:47

good terms it was called honorably discharged but

1:58:52

yes so like theoretically you could be contracting out with somebody who also

1:58:59

works in security and you're like i'm

1:59:04

ex-military so like now i work with security offices and i help

1:59:11

and these are the foremost experts in

1:59:23

i mean he could like make the stuff move and seem like it's growing that kind of seems like no well

1:59:31

he can make the rocks move right you can make the dirt move i could probably make it seem like i could manipulate uh the

1:59:38

matter of the structure at will and that i could make it seem to be impressive like i could uh

1:59:44

have knowledge that i don't have although i'm not as good at lying also we did come here with the and i'll

1:59:51

hush it with the idea that kellik was the

1:59:56

going on a uh healing journey and i was a bodyguard trial was a whoa but but and and and he could he

2:00:04

could be he could be he could be making sure that all the prisoners are in good health exactly and that all the guards

2:00:10

are doing the right things and that and that everyone is healthy because they don't want prisoners dying unless they

2:00:15

want them to die i think that's that might be more believable you have you could only those things but but he can't

2:00:20

be a dog why would he be a doctor he could be a doctor he's my companion or you know he sniffs

2:00:26

out trouble yeah yeah exactly oh that's okay i can't take any i don't i this sounds

2:00:32

strange to you i can assume many forms and i'll be me and i'm your warden

2:00:37

right now i'm your ward and you're teaching us this is alma she's here to be your new

2:00:42

warden for your presence no but you're teaching me so i could be here helping you heal i can't heal

2:00:48

anything though typically words don't do much they carry things you know

2:01:00

and everything we just make a little bit of additions to them yeah talk a little bit more about like

2:01:06

inspecting the health and welfare and if faraday comes with us she's just another party card i could change she's

2:01:12

jesus christ we just like hired more security who they know their way around it's like you know the who the warden

2:01:18

i think she'll do do you know who the warden is who works here would i know that

2:01:24

whether they would contract out for like or if they had their own like healers
