SPEAKER_11

Welcome to sitting in carriages with famous people. I am, as always, your ever-faithful host, Jackalby Johnford. We are here now with the famed inventor Anthony Spinny Dick Scarola to look back on the moment which inspired him to create his first and most noteworthy invention, the airborne Spinny Dick, also known as the Gyrocopter. Thank you for taking the time out of your impossibly busy schedule to be with us today, Mr. Scarola. Please, Jack, I'm happy to be here. And Mr.

SPEAKER_16

Scarola was my father.

SPEAKER_11

You call me Anthony. Of course. Anthony, the gyrocopter was a moment in history when the rest of the world sat up and said, By the powers, what is that? What is this new device which has captured our imaginations? What is this thing?

SPEAKER_14

What can I say? I truly changed the world.

SPEAKER_11

Indeed you did, sir. Indeed you did. Please, enlighten us all. What stroke of absolute genius went through your mind which blessed you with the flawless wisdom of the airborne spinny dick?

SPEAKER_14

Willjack, I was up there hovering over Steamstead by the force of my rotating dongle, and I kept thinking, I can see the whole village from up here.

SPEAKER_10

This would be great if it weren't for the excruciating pain caused by my rapidly spinning penis.

SPEAKER_16

So, by the time I got out of the hospital after a series of surgeries to treat the horrific mess which became my manhood, I had the idea all written out.

SPEAKER_11

I went to a dwarven friend of mine and bam! the spinny dick was born. And only a year later, you found yourself a titan of industry with soaring profits. It's true. I do have a disgusting amount of money. One last question, if you will forgive my audacity. I do not forgive you, but go ahead. What is it which makes you so fantastically brilliant? A paragon of man? How can a being such as you exist? Please tell me your secret so that I may choose ascend to such heights.

SPEAKER_16

Jack, I don't know that any one man can ever truly understand another without walking in his shoes. I can tell you the secret, or you can climb up to the roof of a three-story building, get drunk, and hover over your hometown by the grace of your gyroscopic schlong in your own way.

SPEAKER_11

Such wisdom befits a man as prolific as yourself. Bless you. This has been sitting in carriages with famous people. Join us again next week as we sit with Professor Turdmanch of the Fart in a classic four-seat spoke master deluxe for a discussion on his latest discovery in the field of multiplanar theory. I have been your host, Jack will be Johnford. Until next time. I'll be watching.

SPEAKER_16

With me again are our wonderful players. We got Jenna's Genova.

SPEAKER_12

Hello, hello.

SPEAKER_16

We got Elizabeth as Delos.

SPEAKER_12

Hello.

SPEAKER_16

We got Courtney as Lunette.

SPEAKER_12

What's up?

SPEAKER_16

And Brandon as Benaria. Hello. Last time, right around, and and then tracked this thing down into the Steamworks. And then it busted out and bowled y'all over and then ran off into the night.

SPEAKER_05

Hey, I rolled like a Nat 20 this last time. I remember I saved really well.

SPEAKER_16

Yes, I think only one or two of you got bold earlier was Benaria. Yay. And and I think Jen. I have danger sense.

SPEAKER_06

And Lunette has fucking dexterity. You're like, I have a six sense, and I have a 20 in dexterity.

SPEAKER_16

Alright, so yes, here you all are. What are you going to do? So Banaria's getting above the floor. What the fuck? Where'd it go?

SPEAKER_03

It went off.

SPEAKER_06

It just gone. Bye.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you, voice of the darkness.

SPEAKER_06

Yes. The darkness. So it's just It's gone.

SPEAKER_16

Get fucked off that way. Yeah, because Mira didn't follow you down here, so it's just y'all.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I think we should well Well, we should go make sure it doesn't eat Mira.

SPEAKER_16

Mira is over with Ale.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, Mira's with Ale. I literally did that to make sure that she was safe.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

So we can adopt her and take her back to our manor that has been. I gave her a I gave her to a trusted adult. You gave her to a trusted adult.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, you trust Ale now? Ooh. Ale has graduated from just weird personality.

SPEAKER_05

I have not ever I invited him to the hot springs as a trusted adult.

SPEAKER_17

Nah, it's just it's fine.

SPEAKER_05

Don't talk to me like that.

SPEAKER_17

That's okay. Next time on the young and the restless. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_16

Um it went back out the way you came.

SPEAKER_05

It went that way.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Hold on. You could you could you could do it would be survival to track it.

SPEAKER_05

I feel like we should start to involve. I know there's main like lantern houses and stuff like that, like the one in Ogun. Is there a lantern outpost out here, or is it just They they've got the lantern hall in Ogun.

SPEAKER_16

Does anybody have the sending spell?

SPEAKER_05

I do.

SPEAKER_16

There's also the Magigram.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not paying that bitch anything. But Magigrams take too long. I can just send and then it's like right now.

SPEAKER_03

Plus, the the big thing is we don't have to go anywhere to use sending if you don't mind.

SPEAKER_06

I thought that there might be a like chain of command closer to us so that we could make them start to order people around. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But because there aren't like since there's not a concentrated force pre-established, we would be stepping on the the red boys' toes, and I don't I don't want to risk.

SPEAKER_02

I think if if we act without calling in, then we would be I if we act without direct physical evidence, we also.

SPEAKER_16

If you're talking about like protocol, the Magigram would probably be like the most official way to do that. I mean you could do set bigger.

SPEAKER_06

I can just imagine it being her getting a letter, and it's not anything we sent, it's the guy. It's the guy that's like, it's like, uh, Miss Keldora, stop. They won't stop screaming, stop. Please come get them, stop. It's just like, come get your kids. I'm tired, stop.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you may also remember though, when you went to the lantern hall to ask about the letter Courtney had sent, uh, Saren mentioned that Kildora is actually in the steamstead. Uh go find.

SPEAKER_06

Let's go find her. Oh, we're gonna have a vacation.

SPEAKER_04

We're gonna be in so much trouble. Let's go find Kildora. Let's go bother mom.

SPEAKER_16

Um as you are leaving the tunnels, it you will you will see. It is it is nighttime. It is solidly night, I believe actually, because we had waited for nighttime to kind of sneak down into the tunnels.

SPEAKER_06

Yep, oh no, uh, we were waiting for oh yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because we were on the we were on the roof. We were breaking the wheel. We were on the roof.

SPEAKER_16

But yeah, you had gone there during the day, and then um Renashi came in and was like, hey, no fist. It is solidly nighttime. So you could absolutely go go tearing around, or you could wait until the morning.

SPEAKER_06

Is it in character for any of us to be patient enough to wait until morning, or do we go and find Kondor?

SPEAKER_16

I fully 100% believe that Lunette would just want to go tearing off.

SPEAKER_02

Lunette totally would. Venaria would want direct action, but also do not fuck with the authority figure in this in this way.

SPEAKER_06

Lunette starts to go and they just grab her.

SPEAKER_02

If you may maybe if you could go find out where she is.

SPEAKER_06

I can find out where she's at. I locate the creature.

SPEAKER_16

Like the hairs on the back of her neck stand out. Someone is looking for a scrub. No, she's asleep. It's fine.

SPEAKER_06

I get the I get the distinct feeling that she is going to develop an idiot sense where she's like, my my my dumbasses! They're doing something. They're touching something they're not supposed to. They're here.

SPEAKER_16

Alright, so back to Bath Bath and Beyond. The the entrance, as we recall, being a souvenir shop.

SPEAKER_06

And the exit being a souvenir shop.

SPEAKER_16

And the exit is also a souvenir shop.

SPEAKER_06

Funnily enough, not the same souvenir shop.

SPEAKER_16

No, different.

SPEAKER_06

Two set for souvenir shops.

SPEAKER_05

They have different different one is for your bath, one is for after your bath.

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_12

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. They they got they've got like one of those like warm warming boxes, so they like take out the churros, put it in like the really loud platinum paper bag.

SPEAKER_06

The bag is like four times bigger than the one churro you bought.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, I was gonna say they put like a pound of wax paper in there to wrap it. Yeah. Absolutely. So yeah, you get your churro.

SPEAKER_06

SPEAKER_05

Daylus is fine. Elizabeth is not. Lunette did not change. Oh my god!

SPEAKER_03

We are destroying the economy of this resort.

SPEAKER_05

You hear you don't have fucking change in a tourist.

SPEAKER_16

No, he hands you a stack of 90 copper.

SPEAKER_05

He gives you 90 pennies instead of three quarters of all.

SPEAKER_06

You get a stack of coppers back. Here you go. I like how you run this you run this economy on what you have decided is fees.

SPEAKER_16

Yay! Make sure. Wait until I wait until I introduce like a different country's currency.

SPEAKER_05

I was already at work for eight hours. Don't give me a chance.

SPEAKER_16

This country uses Electrum.

SPEAKER_06

That die. Blow up, actually.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, so you y'all go through and you pass like all the all the like the terse, because like the first souvenir shop is like where they get all the oh, you forgot your toothpaste. Oh, you forgot your brush or whatever. You know, so you go through all you need a nice towel. There's some really to really nice like way of 200% markup towels in there.

SPEAKER_05

But they're actually really shitty. They just are 200% markup.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

So you want yeah, you want to go find Ale and Mira.

SPEAKER_06

To make sure that she hasn't killed him, that he's okay. If possible, without derailing anything too bad, do a death check on Fi.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, well you go you go to Aol's room, and Aol is in there with Mira, and they're both they both have like mask like mud masks on.

SPEAKER_09

Did you did you happen to find anything out about my brother?

SPEAKER_06

Um, not particularly, but it should be a good thing that we didn't find him in the steamworks, as it seems like something strange is down there.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, was it that demon?

SPEAKER_06

Uh you could call it that, and the rumors are not as unfounded as one might em initially think.

SPEAKER_16

I hope that gets taken care of soon. It seems like those attacks happen really close to me.

SPEAKER_06

We are attempting to escalate it to the proper channels. Okay. We can't step in right now, but we will as soon as possible.

SPEAKER_16

Well, thank you. I appreciate everything you're doing, and AOL has been so nice to me.

SPEAKER_06

Go back to the room.

SPEAKER_16

And then uh you were checking on Fi.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, just a brief, like, making sure that he didn't wander off and get eaten.

SPEAKER_16

Um Yeah, he did mention where his room was. You you go and you knock on the door, and you don't hear an answer at first. And you knock like two or three more times, and then finally, uh you hear from within.

SPEAKER_06

Open! Lunette's gonna open the door, she's gonna lean in over the threshold. Grandpa, Isa, are you here?

SPEAKER_16

So, yeah, all the lights are off in this room, and and he's got kind of like a suite, right? All the lights are off, all the furniture is pushed up against the walls.

SPEAKER_06

So like hilariously enough, I don't think this surprises Lunette at all.

SPEAKER_16

No, this is just like him.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, for sure. So she was she was going in like, uh, the lights are gonna be off. Like there's gonna be like he's gonna have the all the furniture fucked up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

No, he is you when you find him, he is like sitting on the floor on a pillow and he's got like this he's got like a bit some kind of materium set up there where it's got like a little ball of fire just kind of hovering over the floor, kind of like a pseudo campire. Campire stove? Yeah, he's got like a campire stove there, and he's just reading.

SPEAKER_10

What? Can I help you? Oh, yeah. Hey! Um you caught me while I was just relaxing. What what you doing? How you doing, kiddo?

SPEAKER_06

Uh she's just gonna be like, just making sure that you're here in one piece and not wandering around outside.

SPEAKER_10

No, I'm probably I'll probably be heading out in the morning, but yeah, I'm I'm here.

SPEAKER_06

Could you do me a favor? What? Could you maybe not do any wandering until uh we fix what's currently going on in this town?

SPEAKER_09

What's going on in the town?

SPEAKER_06

There is something. We're not sure what it is. It's like a it's like a it appears to be a creature.

SPEAKER_09

A creature?

SPEAKER_06

Made of many creatures.

SPEAKER_09

Made of many creatures?

SPEAKER_06

I just I just don't want it to kill I don't want to- I don't know. You're saying a lot of words, kiddo. We don't know what it is yet. It might be a necromera, it might not be a necromera. It might be nothing though. Just don't pick we saw it. It's something. Just don't have places I need to go. Don't die, old man.

SPEAKER_10

Excuse me! I have I have outlived many a fine soldier, and I'm doing just fine. Keep up keep the trend up. Don't die. It's I'll have you know that I was keeping myself alive long before you came around, little miss thing. I think I can take care of myself. Excuse you. Whatever. When you get back into town. Listen, Missy, listen. I enraged you. You're not too big for me to put over my knee. This is where Lunette got the temple from.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say this is this is this is this is dueling escalation.

SPEAKER_06

No, it's like, listen. When you go back home, or the city.

SPEAKER_10

I'm going to the Ashlands.

SPEAKER_04

Why are you doing that? Don't you?

SPEAKER_10

I told you I studied the Ashlands. That's what I do. I'm trying to restore our home. If you forgot about that part, you might have, because we talked about it last time.

SPEAKER_06

I was kind of hoping that that could be something that we talk about further before you disappear again. Whatever. We could talk about it next time I come back to town. Stop talking for five seconds. The next time you go to town, if you need to crash somewhere, you can go to Zervin Manor. There's a man there. His name is Ignacio. We own the house now, apparently. There's a room for you. He has food set aside, food that you like set aside for you. Just fuck! Try to do something nice, but are you trying to feed me spiders again?

SPEAKER_10

You not like spiders. We talked about this.

SPEAKER_16

I had a spider sandwich that one time and it was good, but that doesn't mean I just all I ever want to eat is spiders.

SPEAKER_04

He will make you whatever you want. God forbid I try to do something nice for you.

SPEAKER_09

I appreciate you trying to get me what I like. Yes.

SPEAKER_06

They also, you rat bastard, have a r they have a root cellar.

SPEAKER_09

I'm feeling alone right now.

SPEAKER_06

I missed you so much, and I missed you too. I'm beginning to remember why we couldn't have like family dinner very often. Nope. Whatever. He knows what you need. He'll get you whatever you want. There's a safe room for you to sleep in.

SPEAKER_10

I don't want to sleep in a safe. I want to sleep in a room with a bed.

SPEAKER_06

Don't die in the Ashlands. I'm not done with you. Go. This is my room. You go. I'm reading. You came in here and yelled at me. Call me a rat bastard. I love you. Get the fuck out. Before she leaves, whatever thing, the whatever is making the material float, like the base of it. He's like, get the fuck out. She's just like, fuck you.

SPEAKER_09

Alright. Have a good one. Don't die.

SPEAKER_06

She's just gonna give him like a very like light peck on the like on top of his head and he's gonna leave. Don't fucking die. Kisses leave. I've decided that you're real.

SPEAKER_05

I he knows he's doing this on Facebook.

SPEAKER_16

So yeah. Fi is alive and came tankers. Uh yeah, y'all, y'all are y'all are chilling out, and then um I guess Dalos comes in and posts up. Yeah, Delos is fine, and then Lunette comes in and is crashing out.

SPEAKER_06

I'm not no, I'm huffy. I'm not crashing out actively. I have sense calm down.

SPEAKER_16

I'm not I'm not crashing out, I'm hovering.

SPEAKER_06

I have sense calm down. Like she takes a lap of the baths. She's uh gonna keep pacing around because she's not done being huffy yet. She's just like, I swear to God, I'm so glad he's not dead, but sometimes I wonder how he's not dead. He's like, he's like he's one fucking million years old. I don't even know how fucking old he is. Hasn't he pissed off the wrong person yet?

SPEAKER_02

Apparently not, because she she left and he's still alive.

SPEAKER_06

Like, it's like I have no idea how he's still alive because he doesn't fucking take care of himself. He barely each other quite a bit. I would kill and die for him, and I want to kill him myself sometimes. Like, I told him that I have some.

SPEAKER_02

I would kill and die for him, if only because I'm the only one that gets to kill him.

SPEAKER_06

He's gonna go wander around the ashlands. I think he's going alone, like a lunatic. Like, hey, don't walk around the city right now. There's a weird creepy thing out. Oh, he's a weird creepy thing everywhere. I can't stand him sometimes. I need to warn Ignacio, he's an asshole.

SPEAKER_16

So we have we have this delightful scene of Lunette ranting as as the night you know fades, fades into the wee hours and y'all pass out in the cuddle puddle. I guess we've all decided y'all sleep and all all together.

SPEAKER_04

We're traumatized. Listen, he supervises the cuddle puddle.

SPEAKER_02

He just like walks in, picks a spot on the floor, and just it forms around.

SPEAKER_16

I thought it's like, yeah, I kind of feel like like there'd be pillows on Dalos and people are like leaning against the phone.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, especially because a lot of a lot of the uh the actual conversation pits would have like a round table in the middle. But he just steps up on there and is like, all right, this is where I go.

SPEAKER_06

You got like Lunette, like I like to be in the middle. Pillow, like pillow like uh against where his legs are crossed, and she's just still like going. She's like, I don't know if you have old people in gallery.

SPEAKER_05

No, the problem is Delos originally went against the door and they like followed him, and he was like, They bitched about this all the next day. Organics were this was terrible.

SPEAKER_06

He's like, I gotta go somewhere else, else I'm never gonna hear the end of that. It's like we you are not allowed to not be in the cuddle puddle.

SPEAKER_16

So the next day, the storm has cleared as of the 13th, and it is muggy as fuck.

SPEAKER_06

So here you are. Joy, let's go find and bother our boss.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, it is my aura 13th.

SPEAKER_06

The air is very soup.

SPEAKER_16

Yes. You you all head out and so Ale is uh staying in the same building as y'all, right? Yeah. Yeah, so even though you aren't heading to his room, you can still see over there. And as you're taking a glance, you can see one of those red teramite guys is actually hanging out across the street from Ale's room.

SPEAKER_05

Outside the building across the street is a red termite.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, yeah, he's like having a smoke. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

So Lunette's gonna like look at everybody. She's like, I think Come on. They were all over the town earlier. I I'm just we should talk to someone. We have to figure out what the hell is going on.

SPEAKER_15

Let's find Kaldoor, let's find our warden.

SPEAKER_06

If you want, we can talk to him on the way. Fine. Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, he's he's like kind of like like if you imagine like every motel where it's like all the rooms are just like, you know, a Wall. He's like a little ways down. He's like across the street, but like he can basically just look at uh AL's room from where he's hanging out.

SPEAKER_12

Jenova lets out a whistle to get his attention. Like, hey, what are those those type of whistles? You know, like I can even do it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. You whistle to get attention.

SPEAKER_06

Flattered, but no. He's gotta see like a physician or something. Jeez.

SPEAKER_03

Um less and we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_06

After four hours, you should see a doctor. Like Lunette looking up, pointing, is that helping? Have were you stationed over here for a reason?

SPEAKER_10

Uh I'm just having a smoke.

SPEAKER_06

No, you're okay. I just was curious because we hadn't seen you guys over near the bathhouses. Or this bathhouse in particular.

SPEAKER_09

Uh well, you know, we're just uh just keeping an eye on things.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Can I see if I can tell if he's lying?

SPEAKER_16

You can roll inside.

SPEAKER_06

I was hoping to look around to see if I could see any evidence that he had been around for longer than he was saying. Like more cigarette butts than normal, or at least he's just bugging. Yeah, um shit. That's a 20.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, yeah, he's he he is um he's not quite telling you the truth. He is he is there for a reason.

SPEAKER_06

Uh what am I rolling to look for evidence of Investigation? The twenty-three.

SPEAKER_16

Uh yeah, no, he there's there's a bunch of cigarette buttons around. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

So, uh, just a quick smoke break. Uh you know, yeah. One, two, three, six, seven, eight, nine. Just back to back, huh?

SPEAKER_10

Well, you know, I yeah, I smoke a lot.

SPEAKER_06

What can I say? Truly. Don't worry about us. We just kind of wanted to know what was going on. Um we had some investigating and interesting happenings last night.

SPEAKER_05

And we wanted to know that the town was safe.

SPEAKER_09

That's what I want to. Just making sure everybody's safe out here.

SPEAKER_06

Can I convince him to tell me more?

SPEAKER_16

Uh you could roll persuasion. Persuasion.

SPEAKER_06

Parthasion.

SPEAKER_16

Partwasion.

SPEAKER_06

Well, those things are 18.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, okay. Give give me an 18 persuasion. Be persuasive.

SPEAKER_06

Because I said so. Because I said so and I rolled an 18. Um, it just seems like you've had a long night, considering how often how long you've had to have your smoke break here. And we were making sure that the town was safe, so your job is a bit easier.

SPEAKER_16

Look, we know Mira's in there. Okay, and they, you know, we're just keeping an eye on things, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Mira is with a very good friend of ours, isn't that right, Dalos?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Well, um, Dalos just is like, s before Lunette threatens this man.

SPEAKER_06

Um, were you was there a particular reason why you were watching Mira?

SPEAKER_16

You know, some of those attacks seem to they they're they're pretty close by, you know. And Jano's been gone for a while, so we know she has a hard time looking out for herself, so you know, we're looking out for her.

SPEAKER_06

We were under the impression that she might have just been in the wrong place at the wrong at the right time, I guess.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, well, I mean that may be the case, but you know.

SPEAKER_00

You like the real smoke? Fucking cane smoke. Like, for real.

SPEAKER_05

I gotta get another pack.

SPEAKER_06

There's like 17 cigarettes up there.

SPEAKER_05

Uh I don't care if someone's watching us. It's significantly more concerning if someone's watching our buddies. Yeah, especially because, like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06

I I think that Ail is capable enough to handle himself, but I am it still makes me nervous. So yeah, it's uh it's less that I'm like, I'm not trying to start anything. It's just like one of those things where I'm like, I can't tell if you're trying like all of the mob is.

SPEAKER_16

You could make an inside check.

SPEAKER_06

I see nothing. No, he got 12. That's not that bad.

SPEAKER_16

You got 12? You don't you don't get the impression that he's got malicious intent. Like, you can't really tell like if he's really telling the truth or not, but he doesn't actually seem like he's a bad guy. He's just, you know.

SPEAKER_05

He only has enough information to do the job that he's been given in little elves.

SPEAKER_16

So anyway, um, y'all are heading to find Keldora. So, yeah, without knowing where she actually is, how would you go about it?

SPEAKER_06

I will cast locate creature, which means that if she is within.

SPEAKER_16

You're calling Keldora a creature?

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. That's the choice. That's a that's a that's a choice you're making.

SPEAKER_05

She's gonna beat us a person that I've seen within 30 feet. If she's within a thousand feet, I will know where she is at.

SPEAKER_16

So we won't. Just start walking less.

SPEAKER_05

Essentially, and I have an hour.

SPEAKER_16

So, okay, so basically you're turning you're turning on you're turning on radar.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Select Keldora. Yes. Okay. Roll investigation.

SPEAKER_03

Everybody or just rolling the rain. No, the radar over there. That's your new nickname, you're the radar unit.

SPEAKER_06

Radar. Uh like seven.

SPEAKER_16

Like seven.

SPEAKER_05

No, uh, you give me investigation. That's one of my worst. Yeah. Oh no. That's a two.

SPEAKER_16

You rolled a two. Yep, I rolled a three and I have a wine screen. Uh yeah, no, no. No, no sign of Keldora.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah. That's why I'm using this bell.

SPEAKER_16

Pretty birds flying around. You get distracted.

SPEAKER_05

No, I'm You rolled a two.

SPEAKER_16

I'm Kalos. You got distracted by birds. And you got distracted by birds.

SPEAKER_06

What I'm planning on doing- you didn't even let me tell you what I was planning on doing before you made me roll.

SPEAKER_16

What were you f what were you doing?

SPEAKER_06

I was I was going to intentionally walk a specific lap since we've already gone around the whole town.

SPEAKER_00

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06

And walk around essentially the perimeter to where everything's within a thousand feet. And it might just take longer because Delos might get distracted.

SPEAKER_16

Oh. Yeah. Do you get distracted by birds?

SPEAKER_06

That's fine. I like birds. Yeah. I haven't seen these birds before. They're great birds. They're really cool. Fantastic birds.

SPEAKER_16

They're like bright orange.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they're really cool.

SPEAKER_16

They're really cool birds.

SPEAKER_05

They're worth it to get distracted by.

SPEAKER_16

So I don't think I've actually fully described the layout of this village yet. So time for a little bit of a little lore draw. So yeah, it's it's built around the central bath complex. You know, that that is that is what makes up the biggest. But essentially, this this village is built on a hill. And the lowest part of that is what they call the the earth tier. And then you've got kind of the middle part where you've got more of your middle income kind of bathhouses and stuff like that. And then the the sky tier, kind of your middle, and then the heaven tier. You basically have to go in kind of a spiral to accomplish the search that you're describing, to like cover everything with your radar. So you kind of head down the spiral, as it were, and you don't sense her in the heaven tier. Um, but you do eventually come across, you start feeling signs of her in the uh sky tier.

SPEAKER_12

So we're in the sky tier. Uh what is surrounding us here?

SPEAKER_16

Um, so yeah, these are your your middle income bath houses. Um there's the the red light district kind of makes up part of the the earth tier and the sky tier, but it's not really as active during the day.

SPEAKER_06

I wonder why. Uh Lunette's gonna hold her hand up and just kind of like try and get everyone's attention. We can just try yelling. She's nearby, she's somewhere. She's around. So your idea is to just start.

SPEAKER_04

We need an adult!

SPEAKER_16

Like somewhere Kildora's like reading a book and she puts the book down and is like, oh fuck.

SPEAKER_00

A vacation.

SPEAKER_12

Um she hear us over our bracers? Can we like Oh, she doesn't have a bracer. She doesn't have a bracer.

SPEAKER_16

She does have a lantern pin. You are welcome to try the lantern pin.

SPEAKER_05

We just really bad at the lantern pin. Guys, I intelligence is not my strong stat.

SPEAKER_15

Well, I do have a headband.

SPEAKER_05

I know. That's why that's why someone other than me should do investigation.

SPEAKER_06

I wish that I had more intelligence because then I could I could do it and I are more likely to do it.

SPEAKER_16

Well, we'll say because the the spell is supposed to just work, and and we've been kind of kind of fucking with you about it. It's fine. I don't care. Um we'll we'll say them helping you will give you an advantage to roll again.

SPEAKER_06

It's just if Lunette's doing it, it's just boss, boss, boss, boss.

SPEAKER_16

So, alright, you're you're trying to spend a message directly to Keldora, and there there is a pin that is receiving that message, but she is not responding. Responding. She's not wearing it. She's in a box.

SPEAKER_05

Um however, that pinging kind of kind of it's like it's like whenever like your phone is lost and it like or like your Apple Watch and it just like bing.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, yeah, it kind of like synchronizes with your spell, and you kind of go over there.

SPEAKER_05

We're calling her phone and listening to it ring. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_16

So yeah, down the street a little bit from where you are, there's kind of a non-descript, like hole in the wall kind of kind of bathhouse. And uh and you you you head down that way.

SPEAKER_05

She hears her phone just blowing up. She's like, I'm not touching that. I'm on vacation. Found it.

SPEAKER_16

No, no, no. She's like trying to bury her face in the book. Uh but yeah, you you all head up and and it's it's like a little ma and pa kind of bathhouse. You know, like it is it is nice, it is clean. It's not the highest price point.

SPEAKER_06

We went to the really bougie one because that's what they told us to go to, and we were like, oh shit. We might have gotten a little ripped off. This is a tourist.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, y'all are like Nouveau Reach, you have zero concept of where like what you should actually be going to. You're like, yeah, this sounds fine.

SPEAKER_06

Uh are there any people in the lobby? Or like in the behind the doors?

SPEAKER_16

There's there's kind of like an older wrinkly gentleman kind of sitting behind a counter.

SPEAKER_06

Uh can I- I'm Lunette's going to go up to the counter. Uh hello.

SPEAKER_05

Hello.

SPEAKER_06

Uh, we're looking for a a uh load. We know where she is. I am just you have to miss social cues. Social cues, social discomfort.

Welcome in How can I help you?

SPEAKER_05

We should we should just go get Kildora.

SPEAKER_09

SPEAKER_06

Um, we're looking for a woman named Kildora.

This is giving us sloth vibes from Zootopia. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Do you happen to know what room she's staying in?

SPEAKER_16

Oh, let me see. He starts reaching out real quick. Delos literally do a book.

SPEAKER_05

Dalos is going to look at Lunette.

SPEAKER_06

Lunette has Lunette has an astonishing amount of patience for old people.

SPEAKER_15

Well, in this way, Venarius just like lays a hand on Delos. She's like, as much as I would love to see her in this capacity. Let's take our time.

SPEAKER_06

Well, if we knock, we we can make sure that she's okay.

SPEAKER_15

We also look like we're people trying to margin. But she knows that we're not cultural, it's a culture thing. She does, uh, they don't. What did he do?

SPEAKER_06

Yes, but she can't name one. Keldor Dora. All of you all of us are talking about. Oh, um, but we could, like, uh we're just going to knock. It will be plenty polite. Just be he's old, be patient. We know where she is. A demon's not going to be patient.

SPEAKER_09

Eldora.

SPEAKER_06

Taylor's just gonna go over to Genova and be like, I know where she is. Let's go. Um, is this man is this man human? Yeah. He's just really old. Yeah, no, so Luna is gonna be like, she's like, be patient, he's old, and he's human, so he's like old, old. Taylor's is gonna walk away with Jenova.

SPEAKER_16

He's like turning pages, like ancient slow.

SPEAKER_05

She's gonna follow the the the thing basically.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, that's from two years ago. We're almost there.

SPEAKER_06

Keldora.

SPEAKER_05

Taylor's will go up to whatever door is the one that doesn't will knock.

SPEAKER_06

Like not not super gently, as in loud enough that you would hear, but not to startle.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. I I believe there's a do not deter sign.

SPEAKER_06

Hello, Kaldora. Um, it is it hard.

SPEAKER_09

No, Kaldora here, no.

SPEAKER_06

Unfortunately, I know that you're in there. We found problems. Um, there's a problem, and we kind of wanted an authority in the lanterns to have a bit more say in the matter. We need you. Just for a second.

SPEAKER_16

Are we actually hearing her voice? Yeah. Oh, okay. From beyond the door. Yeah, she's kind of. You just like hear this pause and then Kel.

SPEAKER_12

Kell Dora. Come in.

SPEAKER_06

Kel, Kildore.

unknown

Good wood.

SPEAKER_05

They also just like gently open the door and we'll turn down the hallway and look to where Lunette and Venaria were standing next to the old man, kind of I'm assuming like watching us as we walk down the hallway.

SPEAKER_16

He's still turning pages in his ledger.

SPEAKER_06

Uh if there's like if there's any like like beverages that on the he that he had while he was working, Lunette's just gonna take that cup and she's gonna slide it closer to his like little old man hands, and then she's gonna be like, that's okay, and then she's gonna go.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, Vanar sees that you like with your hand on the door, it's like uh but yeah, you you all you all head in and she was quite literally as described, has a book in her hands and had glasses on, and she's taking the glasses off and the sets the book down. She is chilling in a very hold on, I have a description. She is she's relaxing in a tasteful mint green kimono. And and she's she's just hanging out in a very comfy chair. Um and she's actually on the she her room has like a patio. She's like in the sun, you know, so she's like sets down the book. What is it?

SPEAKER_06

Good morning, Keldora.

SPEAKER_09

Good morning.

SPEAKER_06

Um have you heard about this uh thing called the uh they've been calling it the demon in the mist in the mist?

SPEAKER_09

No, I'm supposed to be on vacation. Um we found it.

SPEAKER_06

There was a creature of hundreds of hands. Many hands.

SPEAKER_09

We've been stopped by the hold on. Hold on.

SPEAKER_13

I was told to go on vacation. And I am here, I am doing it, and you were trying to pull me into work.

SPEAKER_06

It's just kind of like it's kind of grabbing people and eating people, maybe.

SPEAKER_13

I am not on the clock.

SPEAKER_06

It's here though. I will say, Keldora. You and I took the same oath, I believe.

SPEAKER_17

You can't refer to her by her first name. Her rank is warden. She gives you once you say that look. I know, I know.

SPEAKER_06

I thought we were in vacation mode. Dale's Day was once if Venaria says that it's like warden. Dale's be like, Venaria's in attention, by the way.

SPEAKER_03

He like stepped in the door and saw, like, sorry, just uh Warden Keldora.

SPEAKER_06

I am sincerely apologetic for interrupting your piece. It is of the instance of lives on the matter, and we cannot step in as uh a company on our own. We simply desire to make sure that people are safe. Kind of squishy, but broke into our it broke into the building.

SPEAKER_09

If it were up to me, I would I would still be working. However, are you going to tell Saren that you made me work?

SPEAKER_06

I will take responsibility. She won't do it. She will eat you alive. I know that Saren will enrich you to scrap.

SPEAKER_16

Saren will do physical violence to me if she finds out that I'm working on my vacation.

SPEAKER_02

We consider it um some uh consultation, not actual work done. Because we'd love to just go in there with the s with blade swinging. Um but we don't want to get in trouble, and we don't want to get you in trouble as our superior.

SPEAKER_06

I would have handled it. I would have handled it like 16 hours ago, but there's rules.

SPEAKER_16

She says two per boss. Make a make a persuasion check. We already got a 24. Okay, yeah, so maximum.

SPEAKER_05

Maximum guidance.

SPEAKER_16

We got a 24. I will make you a deal.

SPEAKER_13

Don't tell Saren. And make sure there is a drink in my hand at all times. And I will help you.

SPEAKER_06

I captain.

SPEAKER_16

In in an advisory capacity.

SPEAKER_06

100% without question.

SPEAKER_16

I am on vacation.

SPEAKER_06

Sorry, yes, sir. Banaria goes. Your wish is my command, madam.

SPEAKER_16

Let's I was waiting for so long for you to be at Dawes. I am going to keep I am going to keep my beautiful ass in this chair until you provide me with a drink. And then I will get up.

SPEAKER_05

No, I have something for you. I have a water satchel filled with moonshine.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, that that will do that will do just fine.

SPEAKER_05

She will she will take that. I picked that up the first day we got to demora. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14

Yep.

SPEAKER_16

She will she will take that water skin of moonshine and uncork it and take a surprisingly big gulp of that.

SPEAKER_03

I can't believe that. Is that gonna impair her ability to help us or just I am on vacation?

SPEAKER_16

As I have made abundantly clear. Now, speed the way.

SPEAKER_06

I suspect she's had plenty of encounters with it, the nightcap. She's probably going tolerant enough.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, I wasn't always the warden.

SPEAKER_16

And she she will she will kind of wave her hand like lead on.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, as we walk, Delos will be like, Their hands. We saw this creature. It is about this size. It tried to bowls, it's in the steamworks. Specifically, Rinashi is the supervisor that's bothering us. Like literally everyone. Could be this. The entity the entity has uh might have suspected intelligence, as it can speak. And the local authority uh they know. I put money on it. Unfortunately, uh the process of getting through the local authorities means that we are not allowed. To investigate, and I do not wish to step on tooth. You can hear Luna's eyes roll. It's kind of fast for how oddly shaped it is.

SPEAKER_16

Well you did good.

SPEAKER_13

Yes, not not engaging it. We need to find out more about what it is first. If you go charging in without being prepared, you're just as likely to get yourself hurt again. As you are to deal with it.

SPEAKER_05

I think Delos and Venaria. Get yourselves hurt again.

SPEAKER_16

It's like look looking at looking at Dalos like you you have a very hefty price tag.

SPEAKER_06

I think the nurses are starting to remember our names. I think they know our faces. It's the materium replacement that it costs.

SPEAKER_16

Yay! Um, but yeah, um.

SPEAKER_13

So, first thing, we should head to the Magigram station and you should report in.

SPEAKER_16

She's got that like tipsy swagger.

SPEAKER_04

She's having a grand old time.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, she's she's a little loose, and she's kinda like waving, she's like gesturing with the wine with the water skin. Just send the message and they'll come back with whoever is manning the station right now, they'll likely say it's a C rank warrant.

SPEAKER_12

Did you have breakfast, Keldora? I have some churros in my pack.

SPEAKER_16

I will take a churro.

SPEAKER_12

Here you go. She goes, I have I will take a churro.

SPEAKER_16

So she got the water skin in one hand and a churro in the other one, takes a bite.

SPEAKER_12

She needed something on her stomach. She's happy. It's a little early.

SPEAKER_05

Oh no, I brought her the strongest booze from Oga.

SPEAKER_16

Oh yeah. Gee, she was bored as fuck, and y'all came and brought her something to do because she didn't want to be on vacation anyway.

SPEAKER_06

I'm fully imagining Fritter and uh Hoonie are like messing with like her baggy sleeves. She's drunk, having a great time, and the animals are just like, I'm gonna touch it.

SPEAKER_16

Oh look at you, look at you, can I pet the fuzzies? Yes, yeah. He likes it. Scratch his head. There it goes. So she will she will scoop the bob. But uh yes, so drunk Keldora.

SPEAKER_06

This is a great time.

SPEAKER_05

This is why m a lot of us don't treat her with warden respect that we did previously.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, she's not she's not the scary warden lady anymore. She's your boss and she's on vacation.

SPEAKER_06

That's our buddy. She's our cool boss. That's our buddy Keldora.

SPEAKER_16

So she's she is she's following y'all. She's in vacation mode. She's not leaving the way.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. No. We're on the way there, we're just talking, saying things like, oh, there was this one chick, and she can do like tarot reading, I think. And it was kind of creepy and crazy. And then there were nails. If you want to meet her, you're freak to. She's very nice. She's with Ale right now.

SPEAKER_10

You said this is a churro? She don't give a fuck. It's a little chewy.

SPEAKER_16

I was gonna say it's it's THC infused moonshine. Having a great time. Great. Uh yeah, y'all y'all make your way to the Magigram station?

SPEAKER_06

It's telegrams, but magic.

SPEAKER_16

Yes. Magigram. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Where where the words cost one copper? Hey, but guess what? We have 90 silvers. We got a bag of coppers.

SPEAKER_05

We have 90 copper. That is literally what was said. It would have been nine silvers. Okay, okay. Don't talk to me. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_16

Alright. Yeah, you head to the Magigram station.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, I'm keeping all the coppers in a sock. It's doubling as a weapon.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, you you you roll in with your with your sock full of coppers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I would have sent the biggest message ever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, it's the same guy there. Kind of sideways looks at Dalos.

SPEAKER_06

Dalos didn't say anything last time. He sat in the back corner. Lunette was the one. Or not Lunette. Uh Elizabeth was the one that lost.

SPEAKER_05

He just kind of glow he was glowing in the corner. He didn't say anything.

SPEAKER_16

Anyway. Did you have another message?

SPEAKER_15

SPEAKER_03

That's why it's possible. Yeah, but but I feel like saying possible unit. Let's trim it anymore. Possible necromera sided. Uh it might not be necromera. It may not be, but it might be.

Thank you. We'll talk to you later. If whatever we do end up saying, I vote, like over the table, I vote that we add a note like PS tell Saren Caldera is drunk.
