Hi i'm Olma, Flynn, March, Ceallach, Shraya and i'm your DM Ethan welcome to Venture Forth
our i'm flynn and i'm your dm ethan welcome to venture
0:06
forth
0:11
[Music]
0:20
so [Music]
0:37
previously you all had traveled from the town of marstock to dire hand venturing deep beneath the mountains to get you
0:43
guys a quicker route and also to transport a family of half works to their destination of dire hand you guys
0:50
were met with some obstacles in the mountain and emerged victorious although
0:55
down one member unfortunately in in the form of a horse um you guys were actually able to get to dire hand right
1:03
as duru was giving birth to their new baby um and with that business taken
1:08
care of you guys went and dispersed about town found yourself some shops bought yourselves some things and
1:14
discovered that the fastest way to open spire where you guys are going to go to rescue omaha's friend xavier uh would
1:20
probably be by the way of sea um traveling by boat through the gulf of akanbandir and getting to oak inspire
1:28
through the port so getting to the docks in dire hand you guys had the choice between two boats
1:34
one a more fancy vessel and the other um a little bit more well fortified and um
1:40
uh there are cannons on it and a little bit of a faster ship as well
1:46
you guys were met by um first mate paston broadhammer a uh colorful
1:51
character who offered you guys each six gold uh to travel with them and uh and
1:57
be hands aboard uh aboard their ship named the howit duggan um you guys just
2:04
got on board help them load up and have begun to set sail into this stormy
2:10
weather and rocky seas so as you guys depart from the dock um as paston uh
2:18
waves his cocky goodbye to the other boats that they're passing um
2:24
and as you guys get out to the open ocean i'm gonna have each of you guys make a constitution saving throw for me
2:30
no flynn that's gonna be at disneyland um this is 13 okay no it might have been my
2:37
first good savings that i've ever rolled [Music] because of my rest
2:44
30 20 okay 30 20. it's just ability checks now okay which is whoa okay
2:51
and i still roll a three three and i'm sorry what a killing that's a 22
2:56
22 awesome um so flynn um as soon as you guys get out under the water you can
3:02
feel your stomach starting to churn yeah um and it is not not uh gonna be an easy
3:08
trip for you um you already have disadvantage on your rolls so you remain exactly the same
3:14
great great great great advice everyone else you guys are able to sort of pick your eye line on the horizon and steady
3:21
yourselves and are able to sort of um keep your uh keep your feet underneath you
3:27
um so i'm going to have oma
3:32
you are in the galley would you be able to make
3:38
a uh let's just say a general charisma check
3:45
i would love to [Music] 15
3:50
15. all right um as soon as you walk in uh the very heavyset human damien keel um looks
3:58
at you and you can see he's got his um it's almost like a butcher's apron um
4:03
and this this little white chef's cap um and he looks at you and uh he says i
4:09
didn't know that they were letting children on board this ship
4:15
sorry no need to apologize i was just a little bit surprised
4:22
well i'm here now i can help
4:28
oh you would like to help uh that's what i was assigned to do oh
4:34
um okay i could i could always uh use the help um right now i'm not really making anything
4:41
i'm just sort of organizing and putting things in place would you be able to help me sort of put things on shelves
4:47
and things like that okay um there's a box of tomatoes right over there could you go and throw that
4:53
on the top shelf for me is there anything for me to climb up so
5:00
that i can climb up to the top shelf um there is a little step stool and then there is uh like a countertop great i'm
5:07
gonna yeah i'm gonna take the box of tomatoes over or the creative tomatoes over to
5:13
where he pointed i'm gonna step on the step stool and then i'm gonna step on the countertop and i'm gonna stand on
5:18
the counter top and put the tomatoes away okay i'm gonna have you make an acrobatics check for me
5:23
as this boat is rocking and you are attempting to climb on it uh 16. 16. okay um yeah with each step
5:30
you take you are firmly planted um into this thing um you look over and uh you
5:38
can see that damien has begun to sort of sort his knives and cutlery and um he begins um
5:46
chopping up uh a couple pieces of meat that are there um and he sort of looks
5:51
at you and grabs a piece and sneaks a piece into his mouth and and keeps chewing on it
5:57
and um he continues cutting up his uh the meat there and
6:03
he continues to just sort of do his cooking thing as you uh sit there and watch
6:08
kellik you are introduced
6:13
to captain mccready um he is a purple tiefling and um sports a stark
6:21
white goatee and as you are brought into his his quarters by um
6:27
by the first mate passed in um he turns and looks to you and just gives you a very deep bow very regal in
6:34
his movement i do a cheap facsimile of that bow
6:41
i try to just show a little bit of reference respect so i hear that you're
6:47
boarding our vessel for our trip to oak conspire uh that's correct yeah we are uh
6:53
just a couple uh uh travelers and uh we're happy to make a quick book of course well i i
7:01
must say on the behalf of myself and the crew i i would like to welcome you aboard and uh thank you so much for your
7:08
uh your help here um i don't know why you decided to choose this ship here but
7:13
um i i'm very thankful that you're able to to round out our crew here well paston made a compelling argument in the
7:19
form of a single gold piece difference he uh he usually does that yeah um not
7:25
the most persuasive of people but uh gold generally tends to speak for itself and we couldn't help but notice your uh
7:31
ship was uh armed is that uh how often do those uh ceos out here uh
7:38
not very much lately thankfully um but in the past it has been treacherous
7:44
watchers especially when the war first began uh pirates and and things of that sort were taking advantage of all of the
7:51
the navy ships being off on the front lines but now that sort of some of the ships are being called back a little bit
7:58
there's a little bit of normalcy being returned to the oceans that's good uh we were uh you know
8:04
concerned but uh uh pleased that or it informed our decision to choose
8:09
your ship because uh we intend to encounter trouble and
8:14
doesn't hurt to be prepared um i i tend to find that the exact same
8:20
case um and as he finishes his sentence um a half elf walks into the room
8:26
um and ah how are you um uh caleb this is uh craig landon
8:32
um craig landon uh he is he is uh the boson of the ship
8:38
of course uh please uh i've been told that i'm uh here to
8:44
sort of fill in the gaps as it were so let me know how i can be of use and i'll get to it and um craig walks up to you
8:52
and uh he reaches his hand to shake your hand and as you guys clasp um
8:58
you just give him a handshake and he says that's um that's great news um great to have
9:05
someone else on board um would you be able to help me come down to uh the
9:11
bottom of the ship we've just got some inventory stuff that we need to take care of um unless uh captain you have him already occupied
9:18
and the captain says oh no not at the moment but if i need him i'll be sure to call down and have him come up on his
9:25
way captain and uh you follow cray out onto the deck
9:33
and down through the sleeping quarters and down into the cargo hold um it's as
9:38
you saw before when you were loading up the ship very dark down here and um with
9:43
a couple of torches now lit as craig sort of um walks the perimeter um he
9:49
says uh all right so um i think just baseline right now could you just take
9:54
count of all of the crates here um we've got a number but we want to make sure that that number lines up um certainly i
10:01
can do it fantastic all right um and then uh as you do that i'm i'm just gonna go up and uh
10:08
continue to help up on on the top deck sort of um keep things held down with the wind starting to pick up all right
10:14
is there any uh you know uh is there any way i can [ __ ] this up
10:21
um can you count right then really no just make sure you don't count anything
10:27
twice don't uh count anything you know that
10:33
isn't in a crate um and uh don't skip anything
10:38
those are really the only rules um come back up see me when you've got a good count
10:44
can do all right thanks um shraya and flynn you guys are following around timmy
10:51
flurry yes um timmy blurred he is just the energy that you get from this guy he is so excited
10:58
to be like showing other people what to do and sort of have a place of authority um
11:03
so as he's walking you guys around um i'm going to have each of you guys make a slight of hand check as he is showing
11:10
you how to um sort of tie down the masts in uh and the sails into position and uh where
11:17
to then put them if the winds start to change i'm sorry again what was the check for this slide event
11:22
and that disappeared what's good but then it's not
11:30
no worries um so my sleight of hand [Music] is a oh a 12
11:37
that's uh 16 12 and a 16. all right um he's sort of showing you guys step by step so you guys are able to to figure
11:44
it out and uh sort of get the the pace of it as you guys are tying these down um
11:50
timmy sort of and you guys sort of finished the row of knots that you guys have timmy leans into you guys and he
11:56
says so did you guys hear the other boat saw the island
12:01
yeah yeah yeah there's a lot of spooky stuff on there pretty crazy uh-huh you guys heard of
12:08
the island what is the nature of this island well
12:13
sometimes when you're out on the open sea so they say
12:18
there's an island that appears always accompanied by fog and strange
12:24
weather but sometimes if you just look out under the horizon you can barely see it
12:31
and then not but 48 hours later it's gone
12:36
but i mean you'd just be sailing away so wouldn't you just be gone because you sail away from it well yeah that's part
12:42
of it huh it's a island that just
12:47
appears and disappears moves goes from location to location today it
12:53
could be here tomorrow could be on the other side of elbow but you've never seen it i've never seen
12:58
it no huh heard stories though
13:04
i wouldn't put it past uh something like that to happen never
13:09
heard of it myself but it seems that there's a lot of fear wrapped up around this island oh yeah
13:15
said to drive people crazy insanity
13:20
i kind of want to check it out no i'm sure you don't come on i look at flynn and i say
13:27
did we try to meditate it toward us yes timmy
13:33
as you are the leader of this group um i would ask your permission
13:38
if we could meditate on the island i don't i don't think that's such a good idea what if we meditate to get it to
13:44
stay away i think that would probably be better okay and i'll wink it try out let's
13:50
meditate at to get it to go away yes that is exactly what we will be doing
13:56
i wink a few more times okay um what do we do
14:02
pick a tone any tone
14:08
as your direct supervising officer i'm going to have to ask you to stop but this is how we get it to go away
14:17
it's a story it's a story all right let's let's
14:23
do it we'll do it after our tying i go back to tying the knots tying more knots tying
14:28
more nuts i heard from a guy that i used to say with i wasn't always on this boat but a guy
14:34
that i used to sail with said that there's something that's trapped on that island but
14:40
there's this creature the old gods themselves locked away now we have to go
14:46
um no i think if if the gods lock this creature away i don't think that's any
14:52
place for mortal beings to go well we'll just have to see what happens if
14:57
we encounter this island and won't we yeah but we won't because we'll meditate to make it um go away right uh trial and if
15:05
you don't prefer us to have that sound near you uh we could
15:10
always go meditate in the below decks if unless there's some pressing needs that you need no we gotta we gotta have this
15:17
this whole other side we just finished this side we gotta do the whole other side so right well let's finish this up and then and then we'll go meditate to
15:24
keep the island the spooky island away yes okay and i'll go back to
15:30
quickly i'll tie them with more fervor and more energy to start even though i'm like sweating because i'm tired and exhausted
15:36
but i'll start doing it more uh more rapidly yes i'm going to uh hopefully apply that
15:42
same gusto to my dying okay
15:47
kellick yes at this point you are finished counting the boxes 142
15:54
143 did i count that one already yes 144
16:01
right make just a straight intelligence check for me
16:08
thank god i don't bother um 16. all right um the boson uh cray
16:16
landon comes back down and uh so how many how many did you get 144 perfect right on uh right on okay um
16:25
so uh uh cray if i if i might trouble you just to get some context um
16:32
i noticed there's this uh firefly insignia on one or two of the boxes
16:37
maybe more um that symbols familiar to me um
16:44
just by happenstance and i was wondering if you if you know who what what might be
16:50
trans been transported within them um i don't know exactly i know we get uh we
16:55
get shipments every once in a while um comes all the way actually from a
17:01
mining facility over in gamble deer right um called the tear and uh it's
17:06
it's huge and ships minerals and different materials that they find um in those
17:12
caverns all around the world so it's really not unusual for us to get something like this yes i i think i um
17:20
know something of the group that it's uh some group of dwarves that uh sort of uh plunders lower and lower
17:27
they're they're keen to discover things within the tear and uh yeah on their way down apparently
17:32
they uh they ship back up whatever they don't need and get uh
17:38
ship it out for the rest of us so it's probably just minerals ores i would assume so yeah interesting right
17:44
thanks yeah no worries all right and as the uh as the rest of
17:50
the day goes on um shreya and flynn you guys are given different tasks um oma you are in the
17:57
kitchen and you begin preparing some of the uh meals with the cook damien and uh
18:04
kalec as you are sort of running around the ship doing some different things you uh in the course of your day you um
18:11
bring actually you bring lunch from the galley to the captain um you continue on down in the the hold and you start to
18:19
sort of take note of some of the different symbols that are on each of the uh the crates and um sort of line
18:24
those up with the notes that you have um and for the rest of the day it's pretty remedial tasks aboard this boat um
18:33
and sort of towards the end of the day you can feel things beginning to to wind down on the ship
18:38
and the day's tasks are coming to a close is there anything that you guys would like to do while on this boat now that you
18:45
have some free time very much so can i could i just retroactively when i
18:50
oh yeah when i grab the when i get the food from the galley did you make this homer
18:56
i helped damian did she help oh she made the whole thing no i helped
19:03
i helped i didn't i don't know how to cook she helped i'll make sure the captain knows of your of your excellent
19:08
work hold on no no don't tell him because what if he makes him sick i oh i inspect the plate i think he'll
19:16
make it he seems a hearty sword all right you guys are getting some uh some free hours glenn what would you
19:22
like to do well whenever we're done with our tasks i would like to find
19:28
my good buddy shraya as we were talking earlier about meditation of keeping this spooky island
19:36
away and i will make sure that timmy is not around and i will find i will find trial hey
19:42
yeah are you all done with your tasks i finished mine yes i got uh
19:49
asked not to you're supposed to put that under and then that part goes over come on we did this all day
19:54
uh okay yes yes okay done let's go let's go meditate all right
20:01
i have one thing to take care of first though right i'm gonna see if i can stealthily pry open one of the firefly
20:07
crates okay are they down there like in that oh they are well
20:12
i i also would like to investigate one of the other the uh infinity symbols yeah so you spent most of your day down
20:18
there so you guys would be down there at the same time okay um so do we see kelly down there at once some point or are you
20:24
going down with shraya yeah yeah whenever whenever he's done tying his knot i go down with him because that's what we were kind of told that we would
20:29
go i'm gonna have all three of you make a stealth check for me okay [Music]
20:39
sometimes i just roll like a maniac uh 19 for kellog
20:45
i got a 13. 14. nice okay um you guys all go down
20:51
there uh doesn't seem like anyone really takes note of you guys um as you walk down into the cargo hold
21:00
this one over here and i uh go and
21:05
see if there are any grooves in the box that i want to pry open and see how like how easy would it be how much noise
21:11
would it make can i get a gauge of that um it's some pretty thick wood
21:16
you would i did have a technique before that i used to wither away the wood could i
21:22
apply that same technique you did yeah go for it all right so uh i touch my staff to the wood
21:28
uh the wood seems to rapidly kind of age a little bit and just wither just enough to where i can
21:34
peel back a layer of the fibers and just look inside so so cool can i just say very cool all
21:42
right um you peer in and most of what you see is like this black rock
21:48
um but in it almost looks like coal but just barely underneath this outer
21:54
layer of of the black rock you can just barely see like a little bit of color in there on one of them you can just see
22:00
a little bit of a blue maybe gem another one you see a little bit of green a little bit of red on another one
22:10
as i mutter under my breath taking any of these things they'd know
22:16
this point i would not be able to cover this up i look over at flynn
22:22
then please try to stop me from doing what i'm about to do please what are you going to do i'm going to irreparably harm this box
22:31
is kellic with us yes [Music] all in the same room
22:36
i'm hearing this like meander over oh no i'll try it please try to stop me
22:42
kennek uh dm do i understand these to be gemstones in
22:48
in coal on something yeah so they are they are gemstones but they haven't been carved
22:54
down like all of the uh the excess rock around it has not yet been carved down does any of them look like a diamond
23:02
oh no i'm gonna have you make an investigation check because there's a bunch of different uh
23:08
bunch of different stuff in here yeah i'm telling you sometimes i'm very fortunate and uh other times very not um
23:16
yeah that's uh um 22 22.
23:21
you're looking you see one that's blue but it's a little too dark you see one that's
23:28
orange that's not it and then you see one just barely
23:33
barely gleaming in the center just behind a pile of this this pile of rocks sort of
23:40
forming around it you see one that might just be a diamond so yeah we shouldn't go in try that's
23:46
what kellek was about to say we're not right kellig i mean
23:52
here's the thing i am two seconds away from aging out this entire wood fiber okay of the front
23:59
section try i think we could we could use some discernment here right you don't need all of these gems
24:05
we can barely hold them all but make me choose if
24:10
then and i'm in agreement with you here we've we've come aboard on good circumstances
24:17
i don't want to squander that but if i had that
24:22
gem there i might be able to prevent someone from dying
24:29
wait what i uh part of my contract with my uh
24:37
with the vow keeper uh allows me to bargain with him a bit and i'll just
24:43
like as i'm looking at your eyes i just go to shraya you're wearing that is he wearing that bracer still oh yeah yeah i
24:49
grabbed the bracer and i just shove it in his face so the gem is in his eyes
24:54
keep going kelly that's that's not new that's all and i only you know if someone were to
25:01
fall in battle i might be able to bring them back i look at the box um how much can i now
25:08
that he's mentioned that do i see what he's talking about and can i get a gauge of like how much more we'd have to destroy this box to get what he's after
25:15
um you see after he points it out you see what he sees um you
25:23
you could probably reach your arm in there might risk splintering the box you could weather it a little bit more might
25:29
risk does it seem damaging it beyond repair explain to me again these gems are they
25:34
inset in this rock or do they need to be mined out are they just laying in this box it's hundreds of different pieces okay
25:42
they each look like rocks but have these little gems peeking out from inside okay
25:48
so it seems like i could if i could get my hand and i could just pick the rock up and in the interest of time and i actually
25:54
follow his i follow his under his hand i'm following my staff with wherever his hand is moving so it can give him better
26:01
passage through the the box he wants to well for light but also to age the area enough to where you can
26:07
actually just reach through um before he does any more damage i put my hand on his wrist like okay
26:13
i have an idea um i'll reach into my bag
26:19
of souvenirs okay i will pull out a small
26:25
wooden mannequin hand oh
26:31
and i will only do this once
26:36
i will press down on the inset near the wrist for five seconds and
26:43
speak into it [Music] retrieve that diamond that
26:49
[Music] shines different from the others
26:54
and i'll point i don't know if i i look at it and i point at it and and don't
27:02
destroy anything else come back without harming any other parts of this wait i
27:08
want a gem to give me something anything okay well we can grab one that's closer
27:13
but i want to get that one first okay turn maybe turn around mannequin hand begins to float up from where
27:20
you're holding it and take its place into the air it sort of scrunches itself
27:25
up into as small as it can go without warping its form okay goes into the box
27:31
just barely with the tips of his fingers grabs onto this diamond okay
27:36
and i'm gonna roll oh god does he have a good crew at least he's not a disadvantage no it's not me i guess
27:41
right it's not flynn yeah and i'm hoping since it's not a hand or it's not an arm the arm isn't gonna hit so it's easier
27:47
for just weasel in there get it it's way back out it's lit literally made to be super yeah
27:52
right and it just barely grabs onto the diamond and begins to pull and you can see some
27:58
of the other rocks begin to shift but then it is free
28:04
and it backs out of the box without without touching anything else plops the diamond down into your hand
28:11
flynn balls itself up into a fist and drops down to the ground dormant
28:19
incredible it worked i mean it worked we're depriving this ship of
28:24
pretty substantial currency so that's uh but you know
28:29
we're we're doing something to help the whole world right so yeah that's gonna potentially save
28:35
someone's life what comes out on the wash why all right you have the diamond i i want the blue one i have a red one
28:41
do i do i see a blue one that i can easily grab at the edge you see a blue one you don't
28:46
know how easy it's going to be to grab i especially now that that diamond put my hand on flynn's hand and just say
28:54
maybe i should do it for them i don't know if you've got the strength to hold your arm up yeah i closed my eyes for a second and kind of like nod
29:01
yeah yeah you're right maybe you should try yeah
29:10
i'm not in dog form right now [Laughter]
29:15
all right go ahead i'll reach into this make a slight of hand check for me oh god now is the time
29:22
yep yeah that's a 5.
29:28
all right so you reach your arm in and it's it's just like this this little opening in the box and you reach your
29:35
arm in and you grab onto this blue gem that's
29:40
embedded into this rock and as soon as you do some of the other rocks shift and fall
29:46
onto your hand and you kind of jerk a little bit and the box almost falls and closes back on your arm
29:52
you know at this point with the amount of pressure that the box is putting on your arm you know pulling it out is gonna do some damage to the box
30:00
can i go up and should i lift should i lift the box up where your arms out without help
30:05
i don't know that that's a good idea i think maybe we should just leave it cut
30:11
your hand off no i think i can get i can get my hand out maybe without it's the fact that
30:17
your hand is holding something that's making it a little bit too disrupt the yeah but i could still slip i could
30:24
still pull my hand out just don't i don't think i can get the dumb try try it how's this
30:30
uh you can hold on to the diamond until i need it it's quite you know once we we're
30:37
gonna need to get it cleaned up but uh it's a it's as beautiful as as they come yeah and once we get to
30:44
owensboro we can buy you the biggest blue gem let's just hope you don't need to
30:51
use it soon that's our grunt i think i can agree on that
30:56
i'll just retrieve my hand from this broken area so do we need to like
31:02
turn it
31:07
as he removes his hand i uh reverse the reversal basically and uh
31:13
you can see the wood start to like gain its less withered status and uh
31:18
hopefully bring it back to a point where it it looks it probably looks like it's been messed with
31:24
i'll join him on that i can use some use mending to try and repair the splinters as well okay um with shraya sort of
31:30
rehydrating the wood from its splintered state and kalec using mending um the box
31:36
looks like it was never even touched as i'm just watching them to do this i'm like magic's freaking cool
31:43
excellent uh i did you mentioned shaya that this other
31:48
symbol uh might have uh something to do with thadius's construction
31:54
it seems like the box that uh that we found thaddeus in it this other
31:59
box on this vessel bears the similar markings do you think there's a chance we could
32:05
find him a party well if we're keen on disrupting the ship's cargo
32:10
further i mean we already have so we we could also if we could identify it we could just ask to buy it
32:17
i mean i also have a bag i also have a bag we just put it in true i want to be the wiser i mean how
32:23
big can you put a body-sized box in a bag maybe i don't
32:29
know we should we should we should at least see what's in there how long is this voyage should we do this at a different occasion i think i
32:36
mean he said it's only going to take like 24 hours so and it's already nighttime so by the time we wake up we'll probably be there
32:41
this is it's now or never try it i still think caution should be exercise i walk over and just check the
32:48
you know the entrance to this area of the ship and just see if anyone's coming by no one's coming by
32:53
oh okay it'll be quick let's what i'll i'll look around to see if there's one that
32:58
resembles the box we found thaddeus in in terms end with that also bears that marking and i'll i'll pick up my little
33:04
man i can hand put it back right back the only one and especially when you looked over all of the boxes the only
33:09
one with that symbol was this huge box um
33:14
the other ones it like there are some that look like they could be about thaddeus's
33:20
box's size but it's it's very hard to tell because thaddeus wasn't a very generic box
33:25
these boxes are they like locked shut uh do they seem like they open or they like nailed shut and you'd have to like deconstruct them completely to get
33:32
inside almost all of them are nailed shut you don't have me it's better prepared
33:38
or well i think maybe it's then if anything we just do what we did just there we just opened it a little bit and then put
33:44
it back together let's look inside which one do we do though uh well this one here this this large
33:51
one bears the symbol so maybe it's got a bunch of parts you know is it just the one that has the symbol okay just the
33:57
one i touched my staff to uh good enough entry point uh to have a
34:03
good vantage point on the inside and the wood starts to wither again so you uh you take one of the uh
34:10
one of the corners and um as you start to wither it the wood dries out and sort of starts to
34:15
bend and peel back in a way and you're just barely able to look inside i'm going to have
34:21
you shraya make a perception check oh nice
34:28
24. 24. nice so you look inside and you see
34:35
um standing there three humanoid figures
34:40
perfectly standing straight up you're actually looking right at the back of them with the angle that you're at
34:46
all of them resembling almost exactly what thaddeus's body looked like before you left it i say under my breath
34:53
well boys i think i've found a body for our friend [Music] how do we get it out
34:59
that is an entirely different question of which i have no answer i don't think any of us were able to deconstruct them
35:06
because if we could take it apart then we could put them piece by piece under the bag but also i
35:12
might sound silly but [Music] would that kill it
35:17
they disassemble it do they have heads on or is it just the bodies it is all three of them are fully
35:25
constructed whatever thaddeus was head and body yes we would have to remove the head well wasn't he saying something
35:31
about power source right oh yeah you know you could ask him
35:38
do we have him do who i think you have him then do i also we have to determine if thaddeus
35:44
would like uh the body he receives to have been stolen for him i mean another thing we could do is we could just
35:50
follow where this box is delivered and then just go to the is it maybe it's a shop maybe maybe they have parts there
35:56
that we can buy that are maybe something we can afford right and you know
36:02
not for nothing it it's nice that thadius is travel sized you know i know
36:07
but i think he misses being awake yeah but maybe we could put him on like a little cat body or something
36:13
you know that'd be funny yeah um
36:20
i think that's the kindest way to proceed because i i think try is right i wouldn't want to deprive
36:26
any of these beings from there uh right corporal form right i don't really want to either
36:32
should we i know there's a marking on the box already but yeah what did you do last time to find
36:38
things should we put something in this box so we can easily track it do you have any magics either of you that can like
36:43
follow where this box goes if it's something that we know uh then i can follow it uh within a certain distance
36:50
um why have stuff something unique
36:56
i mean i'll go into my souvenir bag and i'll put like i have a few acorns in there i'll pull an acorn out i mean is
37:03
this unique enough um maybe if uh i'll take my sickle
37:08
and i will try to just like etch just a little
37:14
um [Music] uh just an x really because i don't think i'm gonna have very much detail
37:21
that i could put onto an acorn um but maybe just like a single slash across it like that will give it some
37:27
kind of unique marking um and then i will try to commit that acorn to
37:34
memory and i'll just put it down and just like well i don't
37:39
know is that is the whole thing kind of opened or how or how it's like the wood is sort of like peeled back
37:45
a little bit i would just kind of like push it through i guess to put her tatter onto the floor of this
37:53
giant box okay there we have it then is that gonna be enough or just
37:59
is it just gonna ping a bunch of acorns all over the place [Music] um i think if it's specific enough and i
38:06
i can know uh unless there's some other way that you can take the mark one of them
38:11
i mean does it look like i can fit my sword in there i mean but it would ping a sword but it would be
38:18
well your sword has um magic tattoos on it yeah and i can bring it back if we lose the box
38:24
right but with the the opening in the box right now you wouldn't be able to fit a sword in there okay
38:30
maybe we just try and keep an eye on it right well now we know the symbols as well that they they must produce these things yeah we
38:36
can keep an eye out for it this is good this is good and i'll pat my back where i have that is i'll just
38:42
tap it [Music]
38:48
and then i look over at kayla can i say hey look you're still holding the diamond
38:56
i didn't notice thresher uh here you go
39:02
thank you let's get it locked out all right we need to make sure it's uh quality and i
39:08
have no idea what he just said because i'm fully engaged we need you to fix the box
39:14
just one second i uh uh okay and i sort of like kind of half raised
39:21
my staff and like at first i poked the wrong spot in the box i like look away from the diamond
39:28
it grows a little bit into me uh i shift it up and uh
39:34
get that reversal of the aging process once again what are you so he's mending again this one uh yeah and uh after that
39:40
like do you wanna we're gonna no never mind we're gonna go do
39:46
something and we'll meet you back up later oh yes yes we have some uh
39:51
meditation chat too unless you want to be a part of it what don't worry about it kayla
39:59
maybe she can see where her home is at yes yes check out another check on hope what are you up to nothing nothing
40:07
really really yes why would we be up to anything what
40:13
why are you behaving like this what this is this is this is weird this conspiratorial
40:19
we're just doing normal stuff it's team stuff you're not meditating diaper i didn't i'm telling
40:26
you what a few things yeah i'm trying stuff i'm learning new things it's really for the benefit of timmy so yeah yeah yeah
40:31
it's for the greater good all right we have an assignment
40:39
[Laughter]
40:44
[Music] [Laughter]
40:50

41:03
here it was so nice to just have a a
41:08
a pleasant journey on a boat can you imagine yeah i mean to be fair i don't really
41:15
feel too good on this but if you'd wanted a pleasant journey you'd be back with still first
41:21

42:24
sleeping chambers um kellick where are you going i'd like to to
42:29

42:36
fractions of a [ __ ] second brief or but a brief moment um and oma um you uh and damian are just
42:44
getting finished up in the galley um you guys finish cleaning up everything and as you're cleaning up you notice there's
42:50
just one little um like uh one little dish um one little tiny plate that's got
42:57
a little bit of like it looks like a cake with a little bit of frosting on the top and one little
43:02
strawberry on top and as you guys finish cleaning up the galley um damien says
43:08

43:13
rest of your night um ship's yours the whole ship or just this
43:19
well i mean don't steer the boat anywhere um but
43:25
you can pretty much do whatever you want the captain eats cake every night
43:30
not every night just the first night of every time we set sail sort of like a good luck tradition
43:36
um oh that's right i started how long have you been on the ship
43:43
i've been on this ship for probably the better part of 15 years but um
43:49
with this captain probably i'd say 11 coming up on 12 years wow
43:56
i've been on a lot of different vessels and you've always been a cook yeah all my life
44:03
that sounds nice yeah it's uh rewarding
44:09
it must be nice to like know what you're gonna do every day and then if this ship
44:16
ends you find another ship and you just get to do the same thing every day
44:22
[Music] yeah i'm content with it
44:28
that sounds nice you better get the captain's cake i don't want any bad luck oh of course and he takes the cake
44:35
with a little uh like a little golden fork and knife just very
44:40
nicely placed on the on the uh little dish there and he goes off and uh
44:46
goes towards the captain's quarters is there anything that you would like to do um
44:53
no okay try and flynn you guys are in uh the
45:00
living corners of the boat yes we are raising our hands and
45:06
chanting so did we decide whether we're getting it uh closer or further away oh we're bringing it closer because we want
45:12
to get closer yeah we're going to check it out we want to see quite sure of okay yes to see the island we want to
45:17

45:30
my hands in the right place do i do anything for saving xavier i think um
45:36

45:44
but they're not so hard not so okay [Music] you are you are coaxing the island
45:50
you are tapping into your essential uh
45:55
the deepest part of you and how it is one with all things if that oneness with all things could
46:02
also include this island that we've heard about just bring that softly into where your voice meets the
46:10
air [Music]
46:16
timmy comes rushing down the stairs guys i see the island no you don't
46:22
i think i see it where come up did we do it try it we do it i don't know
46:28
and you guys run up um onto the top deck uh timmy runs over to the side of the ship and off onto the horizon he points
46:35
and you guys can see there is rain and the thunderstorm is still very much happening but you guys can see
46:41
like fog way off in the distance that isn't part
46:46
of this storm it seems like and just barely through the fog you guys are able to catch a glimpse of
46:53
land tiny little island do we report this to the
46:59
captain or do we just attempt to steer about there um
47:04
uh sir timmy sir yeah what do we do
47:10

51:17

51:24
i think it was that island over there maybe and i'll point off the distance
51:30
um an island gave me the
51:36
i'm sort of starting to stand up now but he's way too big and i'm like
51:41
leaning on the side of the ship an island gave me
51:47
i have no idea timmy what the hell i don't know man you did this i didn't
51:54
do it you brought us up here and said there's an island out there you brought i saw the island you guys were meditating what were you doing where
52:01
many did you keep it away why didn't you steer us away while we were meditating i can't take care of the boat i grabbed
52:06
the lapel and i lift him up
52:11
am i shya it seems to be that
52:18
way oh by all that is unholy
52:25
ah you might want to be careful of those talons as i look over
52:35
i feel like i understand so many things that i've always wondered about
52:41
as my eyes just kind of go cockeyed and i start to look around om are you okay
52:47
everything makes sense in a way that it never has before
52:53
i my my face my bird face goes pale as i just point speak a gate
53:02
all my speaking voice what to do first oh as i uh just start examining my i start
53:10
examining my hands and just closing my eyes oh chaos
53:17
beauty easy striae
53:22
then i believe that we have somehow traded bodies
53:30
yeah but i didn't i don't and i touched my chest i'm like i'm me well
53:36
retrace your steps just uh think about
53:41
what was the last thing that happened i i was standing out on the side of the boat enjoying you know it's so rainy but
53:46
it's kind of a nice nice evening and it's just looking out peacefully and then the boat shook and i fell and then
53:52
now i'm here so how about you what would you what were you doing just a few moments ago i was down with shraya and
53:58
we were in the sleeping area and just you know meditating he was teaching me how to meditate i've been really tired
54:03
recently and i thought that that might be a good a good way to um
54:09
you can call my nerves i've also been feeling really bad on this ship and we also were trying to keep the
54:14
island away and i look out over at the island um
54:20
what does it look like it's got it's got hazel around it yeah so just through the storm you're barely able to
54:25
differentiate the the rain and the storm around you from the fog that's encapsulating this island
54:32
well timmy told us about this island you said that it like pops up all over the place and so
54:39
charlie and i were gonna try and meditate to keep it away but it doesn't seem that you
54:46
were successful i mean we were just holding onto his [ __ ] glowing staff we were just holding on to his playing
54:51
staff and chanting i i i can't be what like did anything
54:56
uh well we we heard stories before we left port that that there was this island so
55:02
you might haven't had nothing to do with it timmy
55:08
what are the stories of this island i thought i thought they were just stories i thought it was fun
55:14
i'm sorry i said anything oh my god i made this happen if you were to look over at tria he uh
55:22
at shroma should i say uh you will see uh hands just
55:28
just making fire and making it turn different colors in the palms of these hands and
55:34
just being mesmerized by the different colors actually can i have your roly d20 for me
55:44
six [Music] okay
55:50
um as you are even though this is a very simple spell
55:57
you do not have the training or the comprehension of what
56:02
you are producing this magic from and you feel a surge of energy
56:12
no as you had to beat a seven no no
56:17
crap okay now i am going to roll on the small magic table oh my god
56:25
i'm really glad we got oopsies a diamond to save someone's life now
56:30
that i can't use it oh my god
56:35
oh boy okay um you feel this this surge of
56:40
energy flowing through you good and you immediately have no idea what to do
56:47
with it and you feel like you need to expel this thing from your body as it's it's consuming you and as you um burst
56:54
this energy out um everyone in a 60-foot radius
57:03
which is not that big so that would be everyone here at this table um including me gains oh including you yes
57:11
50 pounds of lean gains before temporary hit points hey hey hey
57:17
all right what does it look like when that happens when when when this magic washes over us
57:23
it doesn't feel like it um it starts from the the fire that trey is holding in
57:29
her hands and um it begins to grow bigger and bigger and you see sharaya
57:35
start to panic for a moment as he can't control what's going on as it then bursts out in a myriad of different
57:41
colors and energy waves and um absorbs uh over everyone as you all feel
57:48
yourself gain four temporary hit points um
57:54
at this my my eyes widen
57:59
which i imagine is quite a large size uh [Music] wait if
58:05
i'm in trius body and shy as an ole miss body then
58:11
oh no come with me i was just over here on the other side of the i go the ship yeah

58:31
front of me and i'm sitting up straight and i'm staring at my hands
58:38
just turning them backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards and my eyes can see things that i've never seen
58:43

get my body back all right and you can't you can't damage it i need i need it right
1:00:38
okay alma i'm not going to do anything to your arm to my arm it's not your
1:00:44
it's my arm right now [Music] agreed to disagree um we've determined that the island over
1:00:52
yonder might be the source of this why would the island do this it's so far away so what happened was um we were up
1:00:58
here because timmy yes jimmy told us that there was an island up here so we ran up to see it
1:01:04
and it's i just saw it whatever i'm i'm sorry whatever um and yeah as soon
1:01:11
as you're gonna believe as soon as we saw the island the boat shook and we all fell over and
1:01:17
then then that how far away is the island miles you can just see it on the horizon
1:01:24
there's no way the island could have done this well just as it showed up that happened that's the only thing what is
1:01:30
all the ellen up here for oh god uh i will not have order
1:01:36
disturbed on me boat right well it's good to know that he's still himself can you
1:01:43
you have something in your throat son
1:01:48
i would get that looked at should we mention it are we [Music]
1:01:54
what's the i don't think there's a negative yeah
1:02:00
oh my god [Laughter] uh please don't be alarmed but uh
1:02:07
somehow uh we've been uh i don't know uh they transported from where from who we
1:02:14
were previously do you know anything of this island and he he takes his dagger out and he puts
1:02:20
it up to your throne he says i'm going to be alarmed at whatever i want to be alarmed at i take my sword out i alright i hold my hand out and i summon it and i
1:02:27
hold it towards him and he faces it towards you easy i'm gonna come in here and i'm very i'm gonna stand up and i'm
1:02:33
very big now i have
1:02:38
um authority now and i'm going to come in there and i'm going to come in between you both and
1:02:44
i'm going to say i lower my resources
1:02:49
i lower my sword as she interposes herself or himself with himself in between us
1:02:54
um
1:02:59
you're allowed to be alarmed we're all alarmed
1:03:04
i should not be in this body but when the boat shook [Music]
1:03:11
we all fell down and when i woke up i was in this body
1:03:18
i would like to be in this body and i gestured to myself
1:03:25
um but we don't know why we're in this body i was in the kitchen
1:03:31
the galley cooking cleaning up from dinner
1:03:37
and i don't know what happened they're now talking about some island
1:03:45
i don't know what they're talking about we didn't hit anything so and he walks over to
1:03:50
timmy and he puts his knife up against his throne what island be talking about here's i don't know i just i just it saw
1:03:58
an island a point it's over there it's it's that foggy one i don't know if you can
1:04:04
see it it's pretty far away i i see i think i well as soon as we
1:04:10
came up to see it the boat shook at i didn't think to look in the water i don't
1:04:15
feel like we got hit by something i just felt the boat rock but with these stormy seas that is
1:04:21
not an uh an occasion that doesn't happen too often i don't know what to do
1:04:28
i know you have a place to get to but we kind of have to solve this problem
1:04:33
it's not what we're used to we can't yeah i'm not going to go on like this i'm just going
1:04:38
to put it that way i myself would like a little bit of extra time to stare into this void can someone knock me out maybe
1:04:45
i'll wake up in my own body again no i wouldn't be more than happy nobody hurt him all right
1:04:51
would you like i could use something perhaps i could oh and i and i see if i
1:04:56
can try to charge up my hands can i try and stop them
1:05:02
um shraya and flynn i'm going to have you guys rolling do i roll initiative at disadvantage yes
1:05:08
you do um yeah okay sorry what was that 17. okay
1:05:13
do i get a bonus to initiative you do your uh oh there it is 30 20. oh that's
1:05:19
better than mine i got a disadvantage i got 17 i think 13 for me
1:05:25
try what are you casting for shocking i don't know or or an old man
1:05:34
okay perhaps this will help oh this feels so good i'll try and make an attack wrong
1:05:40
oh my god oh that's a four plus six so ten no no oh no is that not it
1:05:48
i'm not used to
1:05:58
[Music] not like that
1:06:04
fine all right easy the power what is wrong with you
1:06:11
i look to kellik and i look back at alma their bodies i mean and i was like
1:06:17
huh when he says like the power yeah it's pretty exciting i don't i
1:06:23
don't know it feels really weird but what do we do
1:06:29
uh what what is captain mccready awake
1:06:35
pastor um i'm not sure um i'm sure with all the yelling that was going on up here uh he
1:06:42
is probably awake i can go and find it do you have any have you ever heard about this happening before no i have
1:06:47
not you don't have any suggestions frankly i don't care too much uh yeah um as far as i can tell i'm paying y'all
1:06:54
six gold to be here i'm paying you so uh in whatever bodies you decide to reside
1:06:59
in today um those are the bodies that are uh going to be working for me tomorrow okay so that's fine
1:07:07
perhaps we should see if steering away from the island might reset things let's just keep going where
1:07:13
we're going and let's just hope when we wake up it's fine are you sure
1:07:19
yeah we still have to save savior i mean we still have to get to
1:07:25
the capitol i'm going to go and wake the captain now okay that's a good idea
1:07:30
we'll stay here all right and he uh he goes off and he goes down into the sleeping as soon as he leaves
1:07:36
i look around for a boat that we can use to get a dinghy what are you doing i think i
1:07:43
i i take it's in our best interest to um
1:07:50
yeah watch the strange i urge you to have try have no idea i feel all the elements in
1:07:56
my stomach uh i think it's in our best interest to stop here and and and fix this before we
1:08:03
try to move on we're going into untold danger yeah apparently this island disappears and reappears we see it now
1:08:09
we may never see it again and if that's where the key is to fix you guys you don't even know that the island did this
1:08:15
to us i don't but it's the only op it's the only thing that's different the other boat disturbance do you think would
1:08:21
switch us out of our own forms i don't know who's on this boat it could have been anybody on this boat
1:08:28
do any of them strike yes spell casters i don't know that problem seems kind of tricky
1:08:39
i didn't get switched yeah which is why obviously you want to go and do whatever you want to do like you always want to do well i want to
1:08:45
help and i think i think his suggestion is the most likely to result in her
1:08:53
a lack of a better word repair but it's miles away how can you even think that this that did this oh i could and i
1:09:00
unfold one wing but the other one doesn't quite unfold i could fly there
1:09:05
maybe i didn't know about that but how would an island miles and miles away cause
1:09:10
this to happen and why would it do something as silly as straight our bodies and not try to kill us um i think
1:09:16
you know most of all magic is weird no my magic is just in the whole
1:09:22
world you're the only one that has weird magic there's yeah i don't feel weird in this body
1:09:27
you want to stay in that one forever then no well then one of the answers on the
1:09:33
caleb island can you see so far um
1:09:38
i don't know i don't uh all right you're right
1:09:45
do eric coker have dark vision no no they don't i i always have
1:09:52
it's just just so crazy you see so much yeah uh
1:09:57
don't don't open my eyes if you see the tethers don't touch them unless you're trying to do something very particularly
1:10:02
what does that tether do it's orange it's so pretty
1:10:12
only touch the tethers when you mean to change something about the fabric of the universe you can see the fabric of the
1:10:17
universe that's my interpretation of it do we kind of want to change the fabric of the universe right now oh yes but
1:10:22
it's a tender thing um you've already prepared all your spells for the day yeah
1:10:31
yeah well um i can't remember the point oh uh
1:10:36
you said you were meditating or something uh-huh and you knew of this island
1:10:43
beforehand yeah did you know anything about it did they
1:10:48
did anyone tell you anything um just that it was foggy and
1:10:53
it would disappear and many of your different places timmy what else did you say it was in the center of it or something
1:10:59
there's supposed to be i don't know a thing um there that
1:11:05
according to the story um it was it was just a thing that the old
1:11:10
gods trapped away um because they didn't want it a part of their world
1:11:18
that's really creepy something old old
1:11:24
things well i mean the story is pretty old you mean
1:11:30
something the old gods sealed up yeah definitely not something that we would
1:11:35
want to bring here and check out at all i look to oma look away really quick
1:11:43
i must say it is troubling how little i know of the world no they say they say it's it's like a
1:11:49
prison the islands the prison if you were being trapped in a prison would you have any reason to
1:11:56
make people switch bodies do you think it's trying to jump well maybe it's just like i was saying before maybe it's just
1:12:01
weird magic because we're close to it because it appeared maybe there's just an aura
1:12:06
of the place that makes things happen and changes things i don't know
1:12:12
but it could happen i mean you seem what almost i point at almost body but then i wait and i point at kelly's butt
1:12:18
you know what she you've seen when she's done who knows who knows what could happen ah
1:12:24
maybe but the other thing is maybe if we just get away from it it goes away but i don't i don't want to lose the opportunity to
1:12:30
see the island because we may never see it again that is and if the key is on the island
1:12:35
and it disappears you're screwed i don't think i could could sustain a
1:12:41
life in this no offense hey it's very nice
1:12:48
why couldn't someone else help us like when we got where we're going do you think he can stay like that until we get
1:12:54
to and look around the boat to where we need to go it's only like another day
1:13:01
i mean i remember before we met hayfried you
1:13:06
that we had heard about another person um her name is zeda and apparently she's really really powerful like super super
1:13:11
super powerful so maybe she can help us but also we're going to save his
1:13:16
er sorry but also we're we're going to
1:13:21
we might be able to meet up with our wizard friend again and you know
1:13:26
he does specialize in moving things from one place to another if you know what i mean yeah it's up to you um i'm so like
1:13:34
if we fix the the circle and then we just go back and come through really fast and we just like boom boom
1:13:40
my only thing is oh oh oh can i send him i cannot hide stop you
1:13:47
conduct yourself with some manner of self-respect you gotta you gotta stand
1:13:52
straight and firm and don't make so many noises just just speak your mind all right it's
1:13:58
embarrassing i can talk however i want to talk stop
1:14:06
my hands are on my hips and my foot is out kellic as long as we're talking about uh
1:14:11
posture you may want to not hunch so much uh it will disturb the
1:14:16
the composition of the feathers in the back it might hinder your ability to fly oh
1:14:22
i don't think that i will try out your wingspan at any point right not gonna
1:14:27
try to fly if i wish i would try to fly all the time i would like to stay alive but i'm in this body so no
1:14:33
um is there any reason to believe based on my time with xavier that a wizard would be able to fix something like this
1:14:40
i mean a wizard we just had a friend who took a demon out of a possessed person so you have you have
1:14:46
uh fair reason to believe that this would be something that you could do okay great so i vote not going to the scary
1:14:53
spooky island for the gods and continuing along our way and just figuring it out why
1:15:01
because it's a scary spooky island for the gods right but how do you know that that's not the only place that can fix
1:15:06
this because you had a demon inside of you and now you don't i guess if you want to risk it that they
1:15:13
can fix it we can go you don't even know that the island can
1:15:18
fix it why do you okay mister i just want to go to islands for the heck of it you don't get a vote
1:15:24
i'm saying that this island's going to disappear forever and if the key is on there it's going to be gone forever i
1:15:29
think you just want to go to the island if we go to oh my god did you call the
1:15:34
island no you want to go there so bad shreya look at me
1:15:41
look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't call that island i'm gonna use my
1:15:46
girlish charms to try to lie we did not we didn't say that [Music]
1:15:56
if you think that your friend can fix you we'll go but don't don't talk to me like don't
1:16:02
try to cuddle me as if you didn't cause all of this to happen mister i'm i'm part of
1:16:09
the iron collective and i'm so strong and i'm gonna go fight everything please stop so you wanna not be a kid
1:16:15
but then you do things like that oh i am a kid
1:16:22
definitely you are but not right now does it make it easier to climb things and then i'm gonna start to climb
1:16:29
i am really good at climbing do you think we can survive like i'll look to syria
1:16:35
we can survive like this for a whole day i would uh actually welcome it
1:16:41
i hate this with every fiber of try as being i never thought i'd shift into something
1:16:47
like this whatever you guys want to do um hold on i um
1:16:53
i know i agree with what you're saying that we don't know anything about the island but there's
1:16:59
given the nature of magic responsibility that it might be our only chance if it's the
1:17:04
cause further away from helping xavier we went through the thing and then we went through the thing and then now if
1:17:09
we what if we go down in any case it's going to be a detour we have to resolve this you want us to go
1:17:16
try to help xavier in this shape i don't know
1:17:22
we're more liable to hurt him if we're not ourselves but we don't know that the island did anything for this
1:17:29
why do you assume it's the island well i don't know of any other seafaring
1:17:34
thing that would transform us in such a way
1:17:39
so it's just sort of imagine my pets why would an island do this
1:17:47
because it's a cursed island maybe that someone called right
1:17:55
i i i i grimace with my beak
1:18:00
which i don't know i i look up and and and with wide eyes and say
1:18:06
i've always wanted to pass for a more normal being in this world
1:18:11
i would very much like to experience the capital city in a way that people don't stare at me and turn away
1:18:18
or not know what to do with themselves i would welcome the opportunity to
1:18:24
for the first time we're late as a type of being such as this and a small
1:18:31
smile crawls across my face and at this point um you guys see from below decks um prala walks up onto the
1:18:39
the upper decks um does she look suspicious um
1:18:44
she looks strange as she looks all around you guys
1:18:50
she goes alright so i don't know exactly what's going on here i knew it captain but from
1:18:57
what i hear uh you all are in a similar position to yes uh all are in a similar position to
1:19:03
where i am um captain is that you affirmative chirp
1:19:09
and from below decks um sort of uh hanging his head hello you see a purple t-fling
1:19:15
come up from below the decks [Music] it's as nice as it is to
1:19:21
actually be able to take in oneself and fully appreciate the visage um i don't
1:19:27
like this i don't like it either so so i guess i'm the only one and i
1:19:32
flick my fingers and sparks just fly out i like rustic extremes really like brace myself
1:19:38
it's not like it's a bad thing i feel really tall and i can see really well but um
1:19:43
i um it'll be a doozy in the morning believe me what does that mean this one oh
1:19:50
the sun is bad for you yes
1:19:56
it's hard to explain it's only recently that it's been a problem for me but yeah every
1:20:02
you never complain about it well i'm very steadfast [Music]
1:20:07
so do i have to pretend to be steadfast if i'm in your body you can't go around ruining my reputation i'm a very solid
1:20:13
person i am very steadfast in what i want i raise my bird eyebrows
1:20:19
while they're arguing i'll walk up to the captain question mark the one that speaks like the captain
1:20:25
um so i don't know what happened i'm still me i'm pretty sure timmy's
1:20:32
still himself but he called me up to show me an island and then the ship shook
1:20:38
uh yeah and it's that's what i've heard as well i don't know what you guys want to do um
1:20:47
and i look to the group like unless we want to share our thoughts of how to fix this
1:20:52
i'll just say right now my thoughts are to head straight to port um and try and get as far away from this
1:20:58
thing as possible um i just do not like what is going on here i would prefer to
1:21:04
have my feet on the ground as i figure this out whether i need to form a entirely new life ahead of me or whether
1:21:11
we can get this thing fixed oh we're getting it fixed you're the captain
1:21:17
uh have there there are tales told of this island yes is this not part of the
1:21:23
discussion um no uh this is uh by far the strangest thing
1:21:29
that i've ever even heard of uh as far as surrounding this island i personally have never seen the island before i've
1:21:35
had crewmates say that they've seen the island but then again nothing like this has ever happened
1:21:42
well if it's as you say yeah there might be someone in the temple maybe in organ spyro could help
1:21:49
us sooner the better yes yes on the oak inspire i mean i've
1:21:55
seen you've whoever you are uh you keep doing these things with your magic i mean are
1:22:02
you not can you not reverse this i don't know if i can no
1:22:08
yeah somebody who was previously in that body
1:22:14
oh so you know how to reverse this i don't have anything like that um what i can do
1:22:20
um is a little bit more destructive than helpful in most cases
1:22:26
i would prefer no destruction happen on my ship agreed so we should probably not
1:22:31
i would agree um and this body can do stuff but i don't know
1:22:38
what it can do and and calico always says weird things when he does it so like i actually don't know how to do it
1:22:44
at all okay so this forms some complications um
1:22:50
either way the ship is headed towards port it'll conspire in oak inspire um
1:22:55
cool as soon as i hop off of this boat i'm gonna be going straight to anyone who says that they
1:23:02
could help me well um we can start with zeta [Music]
1:23:07
i don't know who that is yes we could who is this person he's a magical person a magical person more powerful than your
1:23:14
former self uh a person of repute as we understand different powers i'm super powerful but like this is a dif she can
1:23:21
do different things so like maybe she can help us i'm more than willing to try
1:23:30
if you look up a troma he's uh he's climbing climbing the upper uh rafters of the
1:23:37
sails make an acrobatic check for me absolutely hey uh what's the
1:23:44
a a oh wow uh 24
1:23:49
24. yeah you're flying up this mast [Music] this is almost better than flying
1:23:55
try don't you oh nope uh calic don't you want to just try sorry
1:24:02
it's like a little flutter no
1:24:07
all right all right well um if you all are going to continue messing around um i'm going
1:24:13
to go down below and uh trying in less than uh 15 hours
1:24:19
try and teach prala the ways to act and uh say things like a captain does and uh
1:24:25
how to get the manifest transferred over and all of these uh cargo shipments and
1:24:30
it's going to be a very long night so probably why don't you head with me and i'll uh start debriefing you
1:24:35
and they head back down below decks is it just us it's just you guys um
1:24:43
so i've been thinking on the upside of this the one that's
1:24:49
i don't know better at swaying people is now in the body of the person that is supposed to
1:24:55
be the the healer that we're chaperoning so
1:25:00
it's not all bad we don't i don't feel any more
1:25:07
charismatic in this body no if anything i would distrust someone
1:25:14
who looks like you and has your voice so what should i do should i deepen it right yeah i think just lesser smart
1:25:21
homework just spit don't don't speak that
1:25:27
what if i talk like this that's better
1:25:33
i i can talk like this can you put a little music in it
1:25:41
what do you mean you know like yours you're you know it's there's a
1:25:46
certain kind of it just is a it's just nice do i have to sound funny like you
1:25:53
don't sound funny you sound a little funny i don't sound funny i don't sound funny
1:26:01
[Laughter] [Music]
1:26:06
you're funny careful with the feathers i swear if i have to come up here one more time and talk to you all about yelling
1:26:12
i am going to do something that i'm going to regret once we get to part yes yes sir
1:26:18
is that is that the captain or is that are you not the captain um we're all confused
1:26:24
i can i have a potion if we need to i can do the talking eventually or maybe you should do
1:26:29
talking you're right i'm still kind of i got it i got it okay we'll have to put our confidence in
1:26:38
alma yeah i might not have to talk at all until we get to the person who needs to fix us
1:26:43
that's fair fingers crossed i mean the captain's gonna be going with us oh the time being right
1:26:51
all we have to do is just keep our heads just stay calm just
1:26:56
keep our heads just stay calm i think it's getting better i'm looking forward to my dreams tonight
1:27:02
i think they will be very illuminating oh no i'm very scared of mine
1:27:08
let's let's get to bed should we all just stay together just in case this happens again i think so
1:27:15
i i i hold myself but one of my wings is still like kind of half out
1:27:21
hope those things are still usable when i get back i like i'm trying to walk but my limb i can't really know how to
1:27:27
control my limbs because they're just so long and i just keep like stumbling over my feet because they're so big i keep
1:27:34
trying to stretch out but notice that my limbs just stop

all right um as you guys begin to doze off um kellick
1:29:01
you dive into this this world of your dreams
1:29:07
and you can feel yourself stirring throughout the night as you can't find a comfortable position with all these
1:29:13
feathers they're just it's foreign and it's weird but eventually you do
1:29:18
fall asleep and your dreams are occupied with flying
1:29:24
among the clouds and it seems natural but you're pretty terrified as you look down and
1:29:30
it's a long way down and you look around you
1:29:36
and you see a bunch of other aracoco flying throughout the sky
1:29:41
and you see them begin to circle you and all of a sudden your wings retract
1:29:47
back into your body and you're yourself once more and you begin falling out of the sky as you jerk awake
1:29:59
[Music] oma you fall asleep
1:30:04
and your your eyes sort of recede back in and
1:30:09
and you see just nothing's all around you and then
1:30:15
you look forward and you see a campfire in this endless nothingness
1:30:23
and that campfire dies out and burns into these small little embers
1:30:29
and out of the embers a hand reaches up and out
1:30:36
and you look around on all of a sudden around you you see all these dead bodies oh
1:30:43
you are standing in the middle of a pit of dead bodies
1:30:48
and you look around and the sky is dark and you hear a voice
1:30:55
you can't you can't make out what the voice is but all of a sudden you look down at your
1:31:00
hand and it's enveloped in ashes and it begins burning and crawling across your skin and
1:31:06
doesn't just stop at your arm but envelops all of you as you and the bodies all around you
1:31:12
begin to go up into flames and diminishing ashes
1:31:19
okay shraya
1:31:24
you fall asleep and
1:31:30
it seems for a moment you wake up but you are in a dream
1:31:35
as you look around and you see this ancient stone structure all around you
1:31:42
vines encroaching in and this ancient place [Music]
1:31:47
doesn't seem to be very well kept but seems sturdy in its construction
1:31:54
and you look around and you don't see anyone and all of a sudden you hear a
1:31:59
scream a deafening scream as you look down to the ground and in front of you
1:32:05
a body lays dead no
1:32:18
you fall asleep and you you feel
1:32:24
the first thing you don't see anything or hear anything but you feel like something's watching you
1:32:30
and you try and open your eyes in this dream and it's difficult almost like you have weights on your eyes but you are
1:32:36
eventually able to get them open and as soon as you do you see this looming figure over you a ghostly
1:32:42
shadow long limbs and as it turns it swipes at you and you
1:32:48
can feel it almost pierce into you with its shadow claws
1:32:55
oma you wake up for the third watch you go up to the top deck
1:33:02
is there anything you would like to do i am meditating and trying to figure out how to prepare spells okay i'm thinking
1:33:08
about all the things that i would like to do that i've seen catholic do um i'm just trying to breathe and meditate
1:33:15
cool so you are attempting to breathe meditate prepare these spells
1:33:21
when all of a sudden way off in the distance you hear
1:33:30
and you look over to where the island is and you see the fog rolling
1:33:36
as a wind carries the fog away slowly and the island is no longer there
1:33:43
okay and that is where we're gonna end this session
