fourth

0:19

[Music]

0:37

previously you all had embarked on a wild prison break to free some of your

0:42

friends and possible allies from a massive prison structure in oak inspire

0:48

you guys had formulated a plan and met up with a copper dragonborn by the name of faraday who used to work at the

0:54

prison and she was able to help you guys formulate this plan and figure out exactly how you guys were going to break

1:00

your friends out of this prison you guys had successfully gotten past the first two gates and into the prison

1:07

structure itself and once you were inside you were confronted uh by the face of the now warden barrett hastel

1:15

who you guys had seen previously on the docks as you guys were able to move past and

1:20

sneak your way further and further into the prison uh you guys had actually made your way down to timmy and after some uh

1:28

some acting on timmy's part you guys were able to convince the guards that timmy in fact had dream rot and you had

1:35

to call in zeta to come and help with that issue

1:41

as you guys ascended back up the elevator though you guys were confronted by the warden as he was alerted to your

1:48

presence and he knew that he did not order an inspection team a fight ensued

1:54

and you guys uh ended up banishing the warden for for some time but making your

1:59

way down to xavier and eventually rising back up more of a battle and xavier was

2:06

able to actually teleport you guys out with the help of um some supplies from kellik and a feather from shraya

2:13

as you guys uh teleported out into the open plains outside of oak inspire

2:21

you guys had realized that you guys probably are gonna need to go back to uh hayfreed and

2:28

uh the only way to do that is to go back into the city and go to the teleportation circle you guys said your

2:34

goodbyes to faraday and you guys made your way back to uh the teleportation circle back to hayfried's

2:41

void so you guys are still in oakland spire you haven't teleported back yet is there

2:46

anything that you guys would like to do in oak inspire before you actually make your way back to the void

2:52

i'm running back i'm running i'm running with all of our supplies that's right uh you are running back you grabbed all of

2:58

the well almost all of the supplies no i i put them all in the bag everything in

3:03

the bag i did grab kellex second oh okay

3:09

um it's a nice sickle okay and i put it in the bag of folding and i threw the bag of holding over plus my

3:16

bag i just grabbed all of our stuff that i could okay i didn't put my bag in the bag of holding though because there's a dead head in it oh it's gross that's

3:23

right okay so you uh are currently and you also have a bunch of uh magical enchantments you are bounding

3:30

over yeah for sure um so you are running and

3:37

it's pretty much like one footstep per roof as you are like going over these

3:43

roofs and uh you are moving at a fast enough pace you know the city well enough uh to where you successfully make

3:49

your way back to the rest of the party okay when i get back to my rooftop if i don't see them i'm gonna on top of the

3:56

shack i'm gonna hide on top of the rooftop until i see them okay i'm gonna have you make a stealth check

4:02

[Music] fourteen fourteen uh can i get everyone's passive

4:08

perceptions for me flynn is a fifteen calyx is an eighteen

4:13

17. yeah um as you guys all walk right up to the shed i

4:19

you guys see oma's head clearly poking out from the top of the shed like trying to be

4:24

sneaky and looking at you guys uh but you see her little eyes poking out from the top hey caleb where's where is oma

4:33

what do you mean oh ah i i wonder if she's gonna show up oh

4:38

boy i hope almost doing all right it's it'd be a a a terrible shame if she were to

4:45

be injured on her way back yeah should we go back to the end to see if she's there maybe we should uh

4:52

could you guys perhaps we might uh

4:57

endeavor to make uh plans to save her from whatever doom has surely been followed yes tria as tired as we are i

5:05

think it's oda olma for all she's done for us we can't leave her behind let's go no certainly not i pull my hood over

5:13

my head and i like jump off the roof and i land in like a crouch behind them

5:20

and i say i am here to take your souls

5:28

[Applause] it can't be i summoned my sword it's just me guys

5:36

where'd you come from i'm so sneaky yeah you definitely are

5:42

all right let's get in here before anyone i look around is anyone looking at us no next to this shed you guys are

5:48

completely hidden you this shed is like down a dark alleyway great lovely perfect i i shrug off

5:55

the bag of holding and i hand it to flynn i'll grab my bag of holding i'll uh dole out stuff from ever to everyone

6:02

i'll give everyone back their bags okay put them back holding on as i take my sickle and put it back on my belt i'll

6:07

put my equipment back on i'll put my souvenir bag on and i'll actually go in my pocket and i'll grab the weapon receipt that i got from the

6:13

prison and i will place it in my souvenir pouch okay all right guys um

6:19

should we go oh wait and i'm gonna my my feathers are gonna bristle up and i'm gonna like put my hands out we must just

6:25

rush in remember that they're levers and things oh right um

6:31

but you'll remember what you need to do ted oh definitely all right definitely definitely the trap yeah yeah yeah

6:38

ready let's go and i'll walk it okay um once again you see the platform on the ground uh and three levers in

6:44

front of you i will walk up to it confidently and as you do put my hand on the left

6:51

lever and look at it and like look back i'm staying in the doorway

6:57

okay i have at flynn's display of confidence i have stopped everybody our all of our

7:03

adjoining uh company at that door okay so everyone is outside when you are

7:09

inside yeah so i have my hand on the left lever i look back at the group i look back at the levers

7:14

[Music] i closed my eyes and i pulled down the left lever okay you hear a click

7:21

yes see you see guys no no problem at all and i reach up to the middle one

7:28

hmm i put my hand on the right one i think

7:34

i say to myself as i pull it i pull the right lever you hear another click

7:39

see guys no problem at all and i reach up and i grab the center one and i pull it down and you hear a final click the the floor opens up uh to a familiar

7:47

staircase as thumbs up to the group as i start heading down all right

7:54

as you head down once again you see uh this this glowing

7:59

teleportation circle in the middle of the room still active uh nothing has disturbed it since you guys were last

8:05

here as you guys step through i i look around at the party and

8:10

i turned to flynn and kellick where's faraday

8:16

um you went fishing oh [Music] at a time like this

8:23

i think she's got some stuff to work out yeah i think uh raid in a prison

8:30

uh for which she used to work uh maybe put her in something of a spin oh might

8:37

be weighing on her well i i hope she can open her tavern soon

8:44

i think the 100 cult we paid her probably won't help her much with that

8:49

i mean we find a small enough town perhaps also the way she said i'm going fishing

8:55

i could tell that it's probably doing more than just going fishing oh i didn't even think about that

9:02

do you think she meant it figuratively maybe she's going fishing for um um

9:08

um um um monsters or compliments oh she was going fishing for monsters i

9:14

wouldn't want to go with her or like fishing for

9:22

um well you just said maybe not well but maybe she's trying to create a hero now

9:30

what is the word you do you organize the things that you'd like to bring to the general population and then

9:38

she was very interested in gold i can't think of the word for this like a star like a like a cart oh like you're

9:43

shellfish yes yes that's cool we should have connected her to james i palmed my head but

9:50

did we ever see james after i don't think james likes us too much well guys i don't remember seeing him after we got

9:57

him out i guess we have no confirmation that james is uh you should send us a message we should probably ask him if he's yeah

10:03

he's a fine fellow should i do that right now can you do that right now by the way i'm just gonna look i start

10:08

to like sort through the tethers of ember in the sky i'm gonna look back toward like the rest of the

10:15

people who are kind of tagging along with us i'm gonna be like we'll be uh through this soon uh there's a there's a process it's it's very complicated we're

10:21

working it out right now all right almost forgot about it and don't look as you look you you kind of see timmy doing like that half step as he's kind of

10:28

nudging towards the teleportation circle [Music]

10:43

james this is kellik from addersfield uh

10:52

hope you're well just wanted to check in how are you

10:58

[Music] and it takes a moment but uh you hear back oh

11:04

uh okay look i'm good um uh uh well i'm doing better since the

11:11

last time uh we talked uh uh my my store is doing well and uh

11:18

um my daughter just came back and she's visiting uh and you hear the message

11:25

i give a give a nod of affirmation he's okay he responded he didn't sound in pain his

11:33

daughter's visiting that's all he's alive

11:38

that's awesome amazing how much a miracle that can be yeah really

11:45

yeah i guess i guess we can go now turn the portal let's do it i'll take one last look around uh i believe this is where i got

11:51

a book last time do i see any other paraphernalia of magic the magic sword in here

11:56

looking around uh you really don't you were even lucky to find that book that you found previously

12:02

you look there are a couple of bookshelves but it's mostly cobwebs

12:07

all right i'll step in let's go okay um you guys all step in and that

12:13

familiar whoosh uh it comes over you as

12:18

as you guys uh open your eyes once more to this uh this inky black void and the

12:24

platform surrounding you thomas catches me by surprise even though i'm walking at first like we know

12:29

it's coming but it still gets hey freed hey hey how does he look

12:35

um he looks he looks pretty good he looks decent he's uh he's the last time you saw him

12:41

he was definitely looking exhausted but now he's looking a little bit better um could i look at uh xavier

12:48

i just want to see now that he's in this space does he look impressed does he look like this is something he can do or has

12:55

done before like where's his power level at that's what i'm trying to figure out make an inside check for me

13:01

while he's doing that i'm just gonna have positioned myself next to tito and try to guide him like calmly through the

13:07

portal okay also right now just keep him from taking off for sure first um i got a four so i might have caught my eye on

13:14

the demon or something um uh yeah your the corner of your eye is definitely

13:19

catching this the sheep demon and from what you can see of xavier

13:25

seems to be keeping a pretty stoic presence um i can't really read anything off of him shraya though i'm gonna have

13:31

you make an inside check for me uh gladly [Music]

13:39

uh is uh insight uh is going to be

13:45

[Music] uh why won't this reveal to me

13:51

i'm able to yeah eleven eleven um

13:56

tito seems to be kind of moving back and forth you can't quite tell which side of the line he's on

14:03

whether that is bewilderment or sheer panic but definitely heightened emotions in

14:09

this in this space i'm going to try to uh whistle sing

14:15

perhaps something that i can vaguely remember from my earliest days alive [Music]

14:24

there seems to be a little bit of of recognition there um and maybe a little bit slower uh breathing after that point

14:31

oh thank goodness the last thing we want is for him to [ __ ] with anything that's in us in this void

14:38

all right and uh as you guys um fully apparate into this space um hayfreed waves his hand and motions

14:45

for the the teleportation platform to come down and join with the main platform as you guys greet hayford i'm

14:52

gonna run over and give him a hug around the waist okay and he hugs you just the same

14:57

we did it we're out everyone's here i can see that um i assume everything went

15:03

well um doesn't look like any of you are dead um everything went well except

15:11

in the middle of like trying to get xavier i think i accidentally um made someone disappear

15:19

for a little bit of time they came back though and they seemed fine oh that's awesome i just don't really know what happened

15:25

oh that's that's amazing um you don't know you like you couldn't replicate that if you wanted to

15:32

um no i don't think so okay we're gonna have to work on that didn't you also

15:38

disappear yourself at one point in the alleyway yeah but i have practiced that actually

15:44

because do you remember like way way way back when like when we first met and i disappeared for a little bit yeah i just

15:50

spent a lot of time like thinking about that and practicing in my own head

15:55

and then it just kind of happened that's good on them uh-huh

16:01

um back to the the banishing part um could you yeah could you show me like

16:07

exactly what and then xavier immediately steps in and no no no um

16:13

here we go no i'm gonna have you take a step back and

16:19

uh we're not gonna be showing this man any uh anything that you had done as far as banishing people um okay

16:27

we can we can work on that independently [Music] um but for now i don't think we should jump

16:33

into anything that he's suggesting you do he helped us get you out

16:38

well i i'm very appreciative of that um but i don't think banishing people is

16:43

something we should be doing willy-nilly at this oh right well that makes sense it did help us in the

16:49

moment though yeah um that i mean it did help them in the moment though so

16:55

if another another moment comes up um it might help no um

17:01

i don't think we're gonna be running into any of those moments anytime soon uh but thank you i appreciate

17:06

your help um but that makes sense no no that's probably probably not not good to do to

17:12

everybody yeah we'll work on it okay [Music]

17:19

uh hatred uh i suppose it's worth introducing it to this xavier here is the man you helped

17:26

us uh spring yeah uh seems like a lot of fun uh thank you by the way for for uh

17:33

sending faraday or away yeah um i just happy coincidence that uh

17:38

i could do that for you i i i assure you she as far as we know uh is doing fine she

17:44

she made it back from the prison that's good i i assume she was she goes off and she does her own thing

17:51

a lot of the times um so yeah that's that's fantastic i was i'm glad i could help it was um invaluable

17:58

we are a little bit less uh lush at this point with uh well the

18:04

golden colored resources and i like open my thing and i reveal that i have like no gold yeah when i say she was

18:10

invaluable uh it was a value

18:16

we haven't really done a lot of things that could earn us any kind of money um

18:25

oh i have a way to do that we have to go back to hattersfield though and it's probably

18:30

yeah probably due for a check-in with melloroo yeah i mean unfortunately yes

18:36

um i've actually maybe got something that might be able to help um all of you with that um

18:42

and he he waves his hand and pulls down uh one of the other platforms and on

18:48

that platform you see uh very similar to a lot of the other platforms here like a mess of tables and

18:54

papers and like um just a real mess of a place and he walks over to it and um

19:01

he walks over to the main table and you guys can see a huge map out on the table and it is a map uh similar to the one

19:07

that flynn has actually a map of the entirety of elbor and he has

19:13

you can see circled certain points on the map one of those points

19:19

very close to where you guys had teleported back in uh in oak inspire and it seems that he has labeled a couple of

19:25

the places on the map uh where he knows his teleportation circles to be yeah oh

19:31

snap and he says let's go that's awesome i like with the one with oakenspar i i

19:37

don't know the condition of um the the teleportation circles but um

19:44

you know i could try helping you out there's a couple here there's one in addersfeld if that's

19:50

where you're looking to go yeah um i don't know if it's working or not um

19:57

um that is so cool i immediately start like scribbling out in my on my own like notebook

20:04

uh like a rough sketch of the map do you know where it is um yeah so

20:11

from what i understand and from what i know now um there's a portion of addisfeld that's

20:17

sort of abandoned um like a whole corner of the city oh is it kind of near a bakery maybe

20:24

there might be one there oh i think we went to an abandoned part of addersfeld

20:29

yeah oh so you would have probably been close yeah there's a

20:36

less smell of distractor they do have some uniquely colored birds

20:41

there though well i mean either way that's where it is right well do you

20:47

i mean we got a lot to do before that though yeah yeah yeah yeah we had

20:52

i've been kind of one track minded up to this point i feel uh it's worth us

20:58

taking a beat here to consider our next steps carefully is there any way we can like maybe just all

21:04

go somewhere and sit down for maybe some food and just talk

21:10

i mean and he points up to one of his platforms that's got a little kitchen that you

21:16

guys have made some corn dishes on right before right um that's got some like a table and some

21:22

chairs yeah let's can we go there yeah can you make one of your bridgey thingies sure and he waves his hand and

21:28

he brings it down and uh stone bridge begins to operate between the two man you never have to leave here

21:34

everything's here yeah well that's don't see sunlight though uh

21:40

yeah and uh while we're doing introductions um afraid uh this here uh is

21:47

uh timmy third uh and i sort of like present him

21:52

[Laughter] uh and while his while his hands are still down by his hips he sort of just

21:57

raises one hand ah we uh

22:04

came upon him uh in uh unfortunate circumstances uh he uh i was in prison

22:11

well but before that even he was aboard a he was a a very a handy helper aboard

22:17

a ship uh but he misplaced his papers and i'm sure you know that uh that is

22:22

quite the sin in uh pogenspire yeah so uh why you're attacking

22:28

sienna's life in prison isn't an apt punishment for such a crime that maybe

22:34

you might need a hand around here so that this you know abyssal void doesn't become quite as

22:40

lonely um no offense i say to the dragon

22:45

and uh you hear [Laughter]

22:51

um i mean that would be if if you're willing um

22:56

can you scrub floors um yeah i can i can scrub floors i mean it

23:02

doesn't sound any worse than what i was doing on the ship uh but yeah i'd love to be of service if i can whatever

23:09

prevents him from indefinite imprisonment is his specialty yeah um i would like to never go back there again

23:15

that's that's sort of my main main goal at this point um i guess yeah

23:21

this place would be perfect for you then um no one else is getting in or out besides

23:26

company present that's so cool maybe one day he can learn to help you with your statues

23:32

maybe he can that's a good idea well um

23:37

timmy uh i guess we should get started and he sort of takes he takes timmy and he

23:44

walks them back to the main platform and uh they both sit down and start having a conversation um and

23:51

did he already make the bridge to the yes great yes so i'm gonna like kind of usher come on guys

23:57

we'll go up to the table and sit down and kind of i'll give a give a sort of comforting

24:02

nod to zeta make sure she's she's all good with everything going on

24:08

i'm gonna have you make an inside check on zeta i'm gonna look at the table and remember how he made corn and just say i

24:14

wonder how we make food and i'm gonna look at the table and

24:20

i'm gonna say lemon pastry [Music] and a couple of spoons bounce up from

24:27

the counter top and a couple of bowls and you can see some cabinets open and

24:32

um like from an impossible space within uh like flour starts coming out sugar

24:38

starts coming out and uh lemon pastries are in the works uh you don't have them right in front of you yet but

24:44

they are currently being made what's that inside check insight was uh 16.

24:50

16. um you can see that she's sort of trying to

24:56

emulate that stoic presence of xavier but

25:01

there's like there's something beneath that of whether it's possibly

25:06

amazement at this place but she's trying to mask any sort of emotions at this place

25:13

does she does she seem like she's trying to find a way to get out of here that's she looking she's not saying the ex no

25:20

hi um i'm oma hi i'm

25:26

zeda um we heard about you from

25:32

um like a little gnome in a bug oh you guys met ernest

25:38

yeah and he told us about you well i mean that's that's great to hear

25:43

i thought he was dead yeah he um why did you think he was dead

25:50

well he melted yeah he melted for us too i think he just does that okay all right

25:55

so hello melted and then he melted him back and then melted again

26:02

you didn't know he just melted once for me right what he melted for us to preserve

26:07

how long was this a long time ago that he i mean no longer than probably a month

26:13

a month ago before we encountered him so that means he had to have

26:20

re-materialized uh are we talking about the same i assume gnomes aren't just melting all

26:26

over the gold band over the head that's right yeah uh very cheery he's he's kind of going around and

26:33

meeting lots of powerful people which he told us you were super powerful but

26:38

then when we went to find you for help yeah but then when we went to find you for help your temple seemed to think you

26:43

were not very powerful so what is it um

26:49

in my current state well former station i assume now um

26:55

it's not really proper to to exceed what you're told to do

27:00

um and you know i'm very interested in learning about you

27:06

know the the the new gods and i think i was progressing a little bit quicker than some people may have liked

27:14

might have been some jealousy um so is that why you were sent to prison

27:20

well i mean it might have been i mean he melted right in front of me so

27:27

there was reason to believe that i killed him but i'd also just gotten back

27:33

so i i don't know so you were arrested for killing ernest well i don't know that they they didn't

27:39

tell me they didn't they arrested me when i got back arrested you no

27:44

that prison truly is in a dire state well you didn't kill ernest

27:50

i mean that's a weight off of my shoulders yeah she seemed to have

27:57

he seems to uh this melting i don't know if it's an act or just a party trick

28:02

or what but it seemed to happen rather unexpectedly no it's okay tito it's all right yes um

28:08

but he also had a bug that i was very interested in talking to but did he have the bug accompanying accompanying him

28:14

the other time that you saw him as well i didn't see a bug um he rode in on

28:21

he was like this boar oh interesting kind of on the smaller side

28:26

he befriends all types of creatures riding saddle yeah even better [Music]

28:32

you said you're interested in the new gods yeah um i take it that means you've come

28:38

from some other means of worship um sort of i was

28:46

you know many years ago um i was

28:51

beginning to get introduced to the old gods um but never really you know never really

28:56

stuck and then uh the new gods came around and i i immediately picked up on you know

29:01

what lately was doing and i i just fell right into it and you like to party too it's great it really is

29:09

i'm not gonna lie about it i j i mean it's it's not as much the party for me um

29:15

i just like the music and the music really connects with me um and that's that's sort of why i

29:20

gravitated towards lately all of the new gods are great really um but it's really the music that gets me so

29:27

[Music] forgive me if i'm praying but how did you demonstrate

29:32

uh to this gnome that he

29:38

gave you to us as a reference uh what did you do that so impressed him

29:45

i i i didn't really even do anything he just sort of came and asked me questions he sort of i it

29:52

seemed like he knew more about me than what i told him

29:58

um it was it was kind of a strange interaction i i don't know if you talked to some of my friends or or some other

30:04

people at the temple beforehand but um yeah he was he was [Music]

30:10

asking me about what i could do in a very specific way what did he ask you well he asked me about certain spells

30:16

that i can cast um he asked me about my my personal connection with latiel and

30:22

how that sort of transferred through my body and out into the world and

30:27

if there was anything that i could do that wasn't directly related to laytl to which i told him i can i can pretty

30:34

much attribute all of my magic to the the worship of our goddess latiel but

30:41

is he trying to find someone specific it didn't seem like he was after someone specific because once once i told him

30:47

that all my magic was connected to latiel um he seemed a little bit disappointed but he kept asking me

30:53

questions so i assume he was more after the the knowledge of it than any one person in particular he does seem to

30:59

keep records wherever he goes of everything that he encounters here very curious fellow it seems he did seem to

31:06

know exactly who i was and and where i would be which was curious

31:11

before he melted uh did you see him talking to

31:19

something that wasn't there yeah but i've i've seen that before um

31:26

right sometimes people will have these [Music] servants that uh that are created

31:32

magically that not everyone can see i assumed it was that was the case

31:37

for us it sounded like he was bargaining with something but he seemed like he didn't want to go just yet it

31:42

wasn't serving him that he was uh beholden to it it did seem like when i was talking to him this i what i had

31:49

assumed was an invisible presence um he's like kept interrupting and he he

31:55

just wasn't happy that they kept interrupting which from my knowledge of

32:02

any magically created servants um they sort of just do what you tell them to they're not really the interrupting type

32:09

so what are you gonna do now

32:14

i don't i don't know exactly i mean and i sort of like raised my eyebrows to to hayfeed this

32:22

town doesn't have much of a temple uh it's uh presided over by a

32:29

wayward wizard so i don't know if that's a there's an opening in that yeah maybe maybe they

32:36

could use a holy person i i would be honored to create a temple

32:42

i i just you might have to change your name though and

32:48

you might have to change your looks a little bit um and how far does oak inspires reach goal

32:54

that they would pursue you for the melting of a gnome well but we don't know if that's why they pursued her or

33:01

or why why didn't i did they say anything to you at all when they arrested you

33:08

well they seem to be looking for me but i i had just gotten back i i'd spent a week down at the dakir ruins

33:15

and um they were sort of waiting for me at the temple when i got back

33:21

and from there no one really even said anything damn the dakira ruins are those in the like the waist area like where

33:28

are those the ruins do we do do would i know where those are

33:33

um make a history check for yeah yeah

33:40

that's a 17 a 17. um yeah so you would actually know that

33:46

um they are directly south from solaris so when you guys um left solaris with seeker

33:54

you guys had gone to the bartok rise that that stretch of mountains in order to go up into the mountains um but if

34:02

when you are taking those mountains uh instead you walk sort of on the the base on the left

34:08

side if you keep walking down and down and down you'll get to the dakir ruins um that are yeah sort of next to the

34:15

waist is that where flynn was starting to walk towards

34:20

yeah so um on the map if you were traveling from solaris you guys went to yeah the bartok

34:26

rise and instead of traveling up and into the mountains if you sort of follow the base

34:31

south you will eventually get to the dick here ruins got it okay

34:39

um what were you doing in the decor ruins um well actually uh ernest has suggested

34:46

that i go there um telling me about uh the new gods and he said that you know there was more

34:53

enlightenment to see there and and i might learn something but um wasn't really anything there nothing for

34:59

me so i came back do i believe her dm

35:05

make an inside chat nothing in the ruins says i'm gonna say i'm gonna say you didn't see anything

35:12

and so i yeah yeah uh oma you can help out uh for me that's an 11. it is um

35:17

also an 11 for me you can't tell the level of deception but like she's shifting her eyes a little bit

35:24

that's the total of 22. okay funny guy he he stands you there

35:32

what for something of late hills some kind of connection to her yeah he wasn't super specific he just said if i wanted to

35:39

learn more about um my faith and about latiel that would be a good place to start and you know

35:46

i'm very enthusiastic about this sort of stuff so i decided to make a little trip and go but

35:52

but the bartok rise has stuff for the old gods i was unaware of that was she unaware of

36:00

that megan um when they're talking about the wastes and stuff could i um go into my bag and bring out the book i found in the

36:06

library for sure 25 25 she's seems very honest she did not come

36:11

across any old god stuff in in the bartok rice why would ruins

36:17

have something of the new gods right that doesn't seem to track for me oh i

36:23

would like to pull that book out and just kind of like see if i can flip through and find anything about these ruins okay or about the waste and the ruins

36:29

something like that um yeah i'm gonna have you make just a straight

36:35

up intelligence check all right a total of 20.

36:41

total of 20. um the book that you got which i believe was called the tragedy the tragedy of

36:47

the lost um so you flip through the tragedy of the

36:53

loss and [Music] you don't see anything specifically

36:59

mentioning dakir ruins and you're pretty confident about that that the dakir ruins

37:04

or anything with the name to hear in it it's not jumping out at you immediately

37:10

but you are also just flipping through it in this moment okay

37:16

yeah hello um i'm something of a

37:23

uh a convert myself uh would there be any reason any cause for

37:30

me to go or is it was it specifically lately that no um

37:35

no there's no reason for you to go down there i don't think um there didn't really seem to be anything it's just kind of some old buildings falling over

37:44

some stone structures stuff like that i mean it's ruins nothing too amazing

37:49

did ernest ever tell you what what the glory of what it once was

37:54

no he didn't he just said it was sort of a a spiritual place for the new gods um

38:00

but i didn't really pick up on anything when i was there no extra energy or anything i'd like i'd like to

38:06

see i'd like to see the validity of that too if if we're all going to do it once and see how

38:11

i see how yeah it's turning off all right thank you

38:16

because he's a god of a boy uh which which checks insight insight

38:22

great 21 21 um

38:29

she is definitely hiding something from you she seems to be telling the truth just not the whole truth

38:34

and i'm gonna turn to the party in a kind of like slinking shrugging way and just be like well no reason for us to go

38:41

there then all right as long as it doesn't uh have

38:47

have reason for you to be pursued beyond here you know it's no bother to me

38:53

um should we have a seat i i suppose uh

38:58

the the table over here will suffice favored yeah take whatever table you want all right

39:05

are the pastries ready to eat and just as you are wondering that the the nice smell of pastries uh it comes

39:12

and this the floating plate comes over and sets itself down on the table chowing it down

39:17

i'm gonna chew a little bit of it and then spit out some for tito if he's interested if he's hungry at all yeah he

39:23

he takes it and he eats it right away i i don't it's the only way i know that

39:28

he'll eat if he'll eat it all in and then i oh yes good oh thank goodness i just like hold a pastry up to tito does he take it he

39:36

like he sniffs it and he smells it and he sort of jerks his head away i go and i chew some

39:44

like this and i like hold my hand up and he looks at you directly in the eyes

39:49

and he just [ __ ] his head to the side and i think it has like a look of disgust

39:55

did i do it wrong no yeah that's fine actually i'm a little extra hungry let me just take that one and i and i eat

40:01

the part that you should uh okay i'm not hungry anymore guys i like sit back in my chair

40:09

i just i just look deeply quizzical at this i just look at this

40:15

oh it's a stain ah right

40:20

is there anything that we can eat that isn't sugary i would pretty much like something a little hard here yeah you

40:27

just have to ask for it ask what ask the magic of this

40:33

table and ask for it well that's that's all right if there's other are there cupboards yes there are cupboards if i

40:39

can if the kitchen will allow me to i will dutifully prepare my own food

40:45

okay is there food in the cover um if you walk up and uh

40:50

you try to open up one of the cupboards and for just like for a brief moment you sort of feel like

40:56

a little bit of resistance but then it opens up for you um what is kellet craving like not what would he ask for

41:03

but what is he craving um some some um

41:09

what's the what's the word for it uh just some like mushroom soup some like basic that's such a kelly thing

41:27

uh so you open up the cupboard after like the briefest moment of resistance and uh you see the ingredients laid out

41:35

there you see some um some mushrooms that are like just just starting to get a little slimy

41:41

um and all the ingredients that you would need to make so i start to estimate them and then i'll go over and begin to wash them and you know i'll get

41:48

i'll get a little i'll get some seasoning just just just some okay dangerous today yeah living living

41:54

on the edge you're making your soup hell yeah um i'm gonna sit next to xavier

42:02

xavier what happened um

42:07

a lot of stuff happened uh well same i mean i i mean i

42:14

yes touche um i mean where do you want me to start

42:21

well we got to the silver shrine and and then you were gone you you were

42:26

gonna go to the library but but but you never came back and when i got back to the

42:32

to the room it was all trashed um yeah so

42:41

oh gosh um i had you can call it a premonition a vision

42:48

um i saw

42:54

sort of the depth of your powers

43:00

it i mean it it it scared me um i will admit to that

43:07

and i knew that i needed to

43:13

you know find out where this came from and and the source of it and

43:20

at that point i had my suspicions that there might be some people after us

43:27

um evidently true by what you say that the

43:33

the room was turned upside down but in my fear i left that's the that's the

43:42

short of it um i needed to find where your power came from

43:48

and how we could better control it because i was

43:53

you know i was putting a bandage on the issue and there were

43:58

there were some some deeper things that we needed to resolve and so i made the decision

44:04

to leave and to do it on my own and to hopefully take any attention that was on

44:11

me away from you and so i went up to

44:17

the monastery and i talked with some of the monks

44:22

there and you know there was

44:28

recognition of who you were but

44:33

i spoke with some of them there and they were able to

44:39

give me a description however brief of the woman who dropped you off

44:46

and uh

44:52

i i couldn't find [Music] they didn't tell me her name um as

44:59

apparently she didn't give it up but she was traveling with a young stable

45:04

boy charles bromwell and

45:10

just like that they disappeared and they were left with a

45:16

baby girl with a necklace around her neck

45:23

and they had to take it from there and and obviously you know growing up there

45:30

what had happened after that but i had to to look further and

45:38

i was was able to trace this charles bromwell um

45:44

back to a farm in northern caldor and so you know pulling on the thread i

45:51

i went to the farm and fortunately i found charles there and

45:57

him living with his family having taken over the farm and are alive and doing well

46:04

but there was no uh no sign of the rest of your family

46:16

so you laughed yeah i i

46:22

yeah i left and you didn't tell me you just let me think that

46:29

you were hurt or or injured or or taken i mean for the most part

46:36

yes i was i was taken and i was captured um i was in prison for that that most

46:41

part but [Music] but yeah i i left

46:49

why didn't you tell me i could have gone with you i could have helped i didn't want to risk

46:57

the people who were coming after me to to find you and i

47:03

admittedly mistakenly um took your age and

47:10

thought that i didn't want to put you in that danger i didn't think you would be able to to

47:16

handle the journey that we would go on but i was all alone and i felt that that was better for you

47:22

than to come with me i didn't have anyone

47:28

[Music] i i admit to my mistakes

47:34

and the gods know that i had made many more before i met you and i will make many

47:40

more after but yeah that is that is one mistake i made was leaving you

47:48

and you went to oakengate yeah

47:53

and you talked to them i did and you know everything i do

48:03

are you mad at me no of course i'm not mad at you

48:08

i mean mistakes happen and especially with

48:14

someone like you who you know there's if i had the gifts that you had i would

48:21

be doing far worse than you as i'm cooking this soup i am like 10

48:29

jubilantly jolly uh soup cooking and 90 years perked like

48:35

adherently listening to this conversation do i pick up on that jubilation at all by the way

48:45

right now there's there's a little spark you can tell all right um

48:51

i'm gonna like mosey on over to the area that he's in um

48:57

assuming that i like saw him like his what he's been doing through some of this yes yes you have okay cool i'm

49:03

going to reach into that covered um what do i see in there

49:08

what are you thinking about uh well my primary thought is i want to feed tito because he's like

49:14

he liked the lemon bar okay but i i feel like maybe there's something that'll nourish him a little

49:20

bit better okay um you open up the cabinet and there is a

49:25

heaping bowl of mountain goat minced mountain goat meat

49:32

this is perfect okay i'm gonna take the i'm gonna take the bowl and i'm gonna go over to the spice

49:37

area that caleb was at i'm just gonna like make it really salty and like okay

49:44

all right and then bring that back over throw some of it in my mouth chew it up spit it out for tito see how he takes to

49:51

it and uh with xavier tito seems to enjoy it but xavier seeing this uh he

49:56

sort of looks around at all of you and says um but i would we just be able to get just a moment

50:04

please uh yeah yes of course

50:09

as i take this soup off of the fire i just take a look at alma to see

50:15

how she's doing because i've had my back sort of turned what does alma look like

50:22

dejected [Music] um her face is just kind of like

50:28

downturned and and her shoulders are down uh i look daggers at xavier

50:36

and i say it'll be right over there

50:41

and i take my soup [Laughter] and i saunter uh okay cross the platform

50:49

how was that in how was that in there i said i just opened the cabinet it would seem to contain exactly what i was

50:56

thinking about really yes yes i'll go over to a cabinet

51:01

and i'll think about ale and i'll open the cabinet and there's a overflowing

51:07

is it like a human-sized one so it's like super big were you thinking about a human-sized one that's super better believe it or not yes then yes it is now

51:14

i'll i'll try to pick it up uh assumingly off the shelf which is too high for me and carry

51:20

it as i nod to the to the two sitting at the table the xavier home and i'll walk away

51:25

and join the group on the main platform and and a little bit unwillingly i'm just gonna

51:31

like see if on my last way out i can hear any more about what their conversation is oh okay all right then

51:38

we'll see last pieces um and as they leave uh xavier sort of scoots his chair another

51:44

like half inch towards alma i i just i cannot apologize enough um i

51:52

recognize my mistake and i just i hope you can forgive me

52:01

are you gonna do it again i swear to you i will never leave you again

52:08

you're allowed to leave and do your own thing you just you have to tell me and not make me

52:13

think that you're just like stolen and hurt or injured or dead

52:20

i promise

52:26

okay you're forgiven thank you

52:34

i will say um when i was at the farm

52:39

with uh charles he said that [Music]

52:44

the family had left the farm to him and after

52:49

this woman had dropped you off they completely disappeared and left all of

52:54

their things fortunately there was still a family ledger really at the farmhouse yes

53:02

there were some names goes back a couple generations um

53:09

and some of them even

53:15

you know left their their writings of of their daily life and

53:21

journals diaries were left there and do you still have them

53:26

i don't all right they're at the farm still but i did read through some of them you left them at the farm so

53:32

they're not like taken by the prison or anything no they should still be there okay

53:38

so through these diaries and and this ledger

53:43

a family secret um kept coming up this this theme of

53:49

something that had to be hidden i can only assume talking about your

53:54

powers and and the lineage there but i did find names

53:59

names it seems that at least the names that were written down of your parents

54:05

simon bagney and clara cross bagney do you know if they're alive i don't

54:12

i spoke with charles he didn't even know if they were alive and they took me to the monastery according to charles it

54:19

wasn't them um it was actually uh your your great-grandmother lady alexandra

54:26

lady yeah um turns out you uh

54:34

descend from some nobility but in the the line of this

54:40

hidden secret and the thing that must be kept a secret um

54:45

it seems that that nobility had to be forfeit in the interest of of keeping people

54:52

quiet and under their you know watchful eyes

54:57

they needed to be secretive

55:04

and from what charles told me it did seem that alexandra was the woman who

55:10

helped him take you up to the monastery

55:15

did he tell you why he didn't know too much

55:21

about why they took you up there unfortunately um from what he could could gather the

55:27

family seemed to be in some sort of a panic um it did seem that that

55:32

someone or a group of people were after them as well and they had to uh

55:39

in the interest of your safety take you somewhere that they knew was safe it was only after i i

55:45

learned that and got the name of lady alexandra i knew she was at that at some point nobility

55:52

so there must be some sort of public record on her i i went to solaris and began to look through some of the city

55:58

archives to see if i could find anything further um i traced her lineage back a few generations to

56:05

another woman named cassandra i was unable to find any more information besides that

56:12

name but as soon as i came upon this information i was i was taken

56:18

the garrison of solaris had trapped me and and in that library they

56:25

imprisoned me well why did they tell you why what you do

56:31

they never told me why

56:38

what is cassandra that they felt like they needed to arrest you because you were looking into her

56:44

i i could not tell you i don't like it here everyone's always getting arrested for

56:51

nothing well what was it for finding out information that someone

56:58

doesn't want me to have well what information unfortunately something about your family

57:04

what is it i don't know i couldn't go back far enough i i was so you didn't find it out

57:10

so why'd they arrest you perhaps i was getting close and if i

57:16

might share something and he sort of looks around and sees that everyone else has dispersed

57:22

he says um that zeta um

57:28

rubs me the wrong way she's

57:33

very clearly not telling you something about the tekir ruins

57:38

um i don't think that the

57:43

guard of oak inspire would arrest her for [Music] a no melting in front of her she didn't

57:49

have anything to do with that she clearly didn't know anything about it well but

57:55

they arrested you for not really knowing anything either and they arrested timmy for nothing too

58:01

so i understand i trust you

58:07

and yeah it's a little bit weird but

58:14

shrug i shrug

58:20

okay so we just pick up where we left off

58:26

carefully and if you're

58:31

in the mood for it we can um actually pick up where we left off if

58:36

you'd like to meditate with me for a moment and uh i

58:41

know we haven't really you know held your powers down in a

58:46

little bit but if you're interested we can see if we can tap back into it

58:55

okay only if you're feeling up for it though yeah yeah i think i can um it's been

59:00

pretty good with everybody i think they help me they help me focus um

59:06

i mean most recent times not included but generally i also feel like i am a

59:13

little stronger than i was of course you know yeah can do a lot

59:19

more stuff now but i haven't meditated like at all

59:26

you wanna just take a couple minutes we can see if we can tap back into it okay all

59:32

right and he closes his eyes and he begins breathing and you recognize you

59:40

know exactly what you had done dozens of times before in order to sort of calm down this wild inside of you i start

59:46

with just squeezing my eyes shut like really really hard um and breathe a little bit and then eventually my eyes

59:51

will relax okay and um over the course of the next couple

59:57

minutes everyone sees uh looks over at some point and sees that uh oma and xavier both have their

1:00:03

eyes closed and you can see xavier taking her through this guided meditation um sort of

1:00:09

asking you to visualize certain things and to reach inside and take that power

1:00:14

within you and grasp it and own it and control it and after about 15 minutes of

1:00:20

meditation uh you feel sort of like this this relief from with within you um

1:00:28

and you feel a greater grasp on your magic so in the next week

1:00:33

of time um you may choose at any point if a wild

1:00:38

magic surge goes off you may choose to instead have it not go off

1:00:45

um and have the wild magic counter reset to one what

1:00:52

once in the next week and a condition of that um you have to

1:00:58

fail the role you do not get to know the effect of the role you have to you have to specify before you know

1:01:05

the effect of the rule but sometime in the next week if your wild magic goes off you can

1:01:10

um choose one time in order to negate that cool

1:01:16

while they're up there talking and i guess meditating um [Music]

1:01:22

yeah um i'll as i'm watching um

1:01:27

since i'm watching this gross soup and grosser regurgitated food yeah i'm finding it hard to enjoy my

1:01:35

beverage of course i haven't had a beer in a while this is not how i wanted to have my first beer in the past however many days

1:01:42

so i will um i will just kind of like uh i'm gonna go for a walk and i would like to try and i've seen

1:01:48

hayfried summon platforms i'm gonna try and summon a platform i'm just gonna like look for the one where

1:01:54

i don't know there looks like there's a lot of pages or books or uh bookshelves and i'm gonna go try and spot one do i see anything like that

1:02:01

um yes you do so floating around um you've seen hayfred pull it down before okay um but uh

1:02:08

as you raise your hand up i'm gonna have you make oh an arcana check cool yeah yeah you know

1:02:17

all right okay that would be

1:02:23

arcana up total of ten a total of ten okay so um you reach your hand up

1:02:29

and you close your eyes and you you envision this platform coming down yeah

1:02:35

and you open your eyes and the platform is following your hand uh okay

1:02:42

and then if i just uh i don't know maybe if i pull and i'll pull it towards me and it comes through

1:02:48

my head i look at my hands are my tattoos glowing

1:02:53

they're not what caleb what is your passive perception 18. 18 and try yours is a 17

1:03:00

yes um as this platform comes down and rests and the the bridge operates and connects

1:03:07

um shraya and kellik you both see very subtly yeah

1:03:13

just sort of moving a couple of his fingers

1:03:20

in the exact motion of the platform oh i'll look down in my hands oh no way i gleefully look over to shreya

1:03:28

and just just have a have a quiet smile as i'm eating my soup i'll

1:03:33

uh happily stroll across the bridge and uh affirmative squawk

1:03:40

just kind of do some browsing of i don't know i'm not really sure what

1:03:46

i'm looking for i just know that i would want to find more stuff about magic and it seems like since hey fred's talking with timmy and and the other magic

1:03:53

person is talking with alma i'm just gonna kind of like spend some time perusing until i see

1:03:58

either you know hayford or xavier open for conversation so i'll look okay

1:04:04

maybe for more spells about abstraction maybe evocation i think i i think that might be what i would look for so any type of evocation books because i now

1:04:10

have this one book that's actuation so i'd like to look for one that's evocation okay um make an arcana check

1:04:16

for me you got it man not not good roles today guys uh

1:04:23

arcana is seven seven um you're looking through these books you keep getting distracted by the

1:04:29

next book the next book the next book and that there's just so many of them um you can't find anything specifically

1:04:34

evocation frustrated with this um in between the aisles i'm guessing how like how big is

1:04:41

this platform am i like lost in lost in a maze of you're definitely not lost in amaze you at

1:04:48

pretty much all points you can still see the main platform okay um but you are

1:04:53

sort of weaving in and out of these bookshelves yeah i just like can't find anything i'll just like look up and down man

1:04:59

i look back and i still see hayfried and xavier talking it's like

1:05:04

look back at the group when i could rejoin which is still regurgitating food and and slurping on some gross soup and

1:05:12

i'm halfway down this massive beer i take another big chug and kind of plop down in between the bookshelves and

1:05:18

kind of go in my bag and pull out some books i pull out the app duration book i pull up my spell book

1:05:24

and i remember i pulled the adoration book out

1:05:31

and i flip through the first few pages to the middle pages

1:05:38

i pause for a moment and smirk and flip to the last five pages

1:05:43

okay um all right i am going to have you make another arcana check for me

1:05:49

sure i'm not exhausted anymore so like i'll be fine right yeah of course

1:05:54

okay it's um 12 uh 12. yeah

1:06:00

looking through these yeah you see a couple pieces that you can pick out that you kind of recognize

1:06:05

but nothing like not like a complete page that you would know what to do with

1:06:11

why do you say this or something why do you say not to look at these you do from what you recognize though

1:06:17

you do see that these seem to be um instructions for some

1:06:23

very powerful spells okay i thought someone's gonna

1:06:30

jump out or something this just seems confusing [Music]

1:06:35

shut it and uh go back to my um [Music] my iron light book with spells and just

1:06:42

kind of like look at some of the more advanced stuff and i'll just browse through stuff that uses the evocation

1:06:49

style of magic make sure i just read about that in between the shelves of books and just kind of like

1:06:54

read until it seems like i can talk to hatred or xavier okay while he's doing this

1:07:00

um i'll just look up and try them from my nearly depleted soup

1:07:06

and uh i'll sort of cast glance over it almo now meditating and looking peaceful

1:07:11

for the first time i've ever seen yeah are your parents alive try

1:07:20

i uh look over to kellic and i you see my uh wings tighten a little bit

1:07:28

and my eyes uh go a little uh squint uh and i look over at tito

1:07:34

uh and then i look back at kellik uh and i say

1:07:40

[Music] best not to draw that path

1:07:45

just yet the short answer is i don't know

1:07:50

and uh i look back at tito uh and i'm gonna look really deeply into

1:07:56

tito's eyes uh remembering that remembering his ignorance uh the last

1:08:03

time i tried to bring up where we are from and what we are of uh how is he looking right now make an

1:08:10

inside check for me uh 16 16. um with the food that he's got

1:08:17

uh he looks remarkably better awesome okay uh i'm

1:08:24

i'm gonna look back at kellik and and and say i am also um

1:08:31

interested and curious into well what your line of thinking is myself

1:08:37

if you don't mind and i'm gonna look back over to tito again but i just

1:08:42

i look back again at oman xavier strikes me you know um

1:08:50

they've been hearing about this guy savior for a while now

1:08:56

and the reverence you know with which um

1:09:02

she's picked just excuse me she spoke of him the reference with which she spoke

1:09:09

he doesn't quite live up to expectations yes he did seem quite

1:09:14

revered and uh upon inspection it seems like a calm fellow

1:09:22

i am just makes me think about

1:09:29

parents you know um [Music] uh

1:09:36

there's something to us that they can never be to others

1:09:42

i say i find it seems to apply to people we revere

1:09:47

once we see that what we revere in them can also turn astray

1:09:54

when we perhaps least expected it and i turn over to i look over at tito

1:09:59

again i look back at kellik uh [Music] if you found that in your travels

1:10:05

people you revere suddenly turning astray

1:10:11

i think i have some pretty dead-on examples to point to that's right given the way that the

1:10:16

temple of america has undergone its changes

1:10:22

but i don't mean to pry this

1:10:27

this man's savior this temporary guardian he

1:10:34

abandoned alma [Music] your parents

1:10:41

did they just watch us you were banished well uh

1:10:48

and uh i look over to tito a little bit uncomfortable that that tito will hear

1:10:53

this but willing to go on with it anyway uh as my as i kind of shift my weight a little bit back and forth

1:11:02

my family was uh well let's just put it this way we weren't uh really permitted to

1:11:08

be around each other all that much and uh i was uh let's just say even before i

1:11:14

was banished i spent a lot of time alone as i as as my feathers sort of rise up a

1:11:21

little bit and i put rest my head on them i wasn't uh

1:11:26

well there was a strong interest in the tribe to to keep

1:11:33

members of my family apart [Music] i'm sorry shreya

1:11:43

yes well so was i and i look back uh i look back toward

1:11:50

uh toward tito does he seem to be registering any of this in and how i'm

1:11:55

speaking to kellik or is his like level of comprehension like what does it seem to be his level of comprehension um

1:12:02

you pick out that uh he

1:12:08

it's probably the pace of the conversation that he's not keeping up with uh it's okay yeah just

1:12:15

you can tell that common is still a very new language to him sure and at this point in the conversation he sort of

1:12:21

realized that you guys are talking a little too quick so now i'm going to start tuning out gotcha

1:12:27

um this one over here though he is and i and i like subtly like

1:12:34

shrug toward him uh i almost struggled to recognize him

1:12:41

i think i only ever saw him once and he was more described to me in a

1:12:47

likewise revered fashion but i

1:12:52

i was never really permitted to gaze upon him very much [Music] this one

1:12:58

yes [Music] and i again uh sort of motioned subtly

1:13:03

toward tito his reverence always such a deceptive emotion

1:13:10

are we all simply fools to our heroes

1:13:17

or simply fools to the different perceptions of that reference

1:13:22

if i'm and i start i start thinking to myself

1:13:28

one tribe's reverence it seems turned out to be one caldorian civilization's reason for

1:13:35

imprisonment i hope your parents are alive try

1:13:41

and [Music] i don't know anything about your culture

1:13:47

but i think i know enough of you that they

1:13:52

probably thinking of you i would hope so i'm based on

1:13:59

based on when i left i would be surprised if my home tribe

1:14:05

is faring much better than the warring factions of this world and i look back over to

1:14:10

the tito again and and uh and just give him a strong like

1:14:15

[Music] heartfelt yet like exasperated look

1:14:23

[Music] and if we are to curb the chaos of this world

1:14:31

then we may have to also curb our own delusions

1:14:37

as wild as they may be if you don't mind kellik uh

1:14:43

i would like to see if i can glean anything from my wayward

1:14:48

uh young [Music] fellow here of course i don't mean to interrupt

1:14:55

you're welcome to stay here it's just i i don't know uh i don't know if you'd be

1:15:00

able to comprehend much unless you speak uh and have any familiarity with uh

1:15:06

the tongue on which i originate from from what i've gathered so far that does

1:15:12

not seem to be the case but uh carry on try to glean what i can from context

1:15:20

you're welcome i empty the last contents of my soup and pouring the bowl

1:15:26

into my mouth gross and i make and i but i try to do it discreetly

1:15:32

so as to keep up appearances there you go there you go uh i'm gonna look at i'm just going to start speaking to tito

1:15:39

in that in that kind of so you you hear just like

1:15:47

you just hear these things but i'm going to also then speak to him as best that i

1:15:52

can okay um what do you remember

1:16:01

what brought you to that miserable place i

1:16:06

couldn't get out i couldn't get out i couldn't fly there was no air what do you remember

1:16:12

before that before before they took you down into those depths why why what was

1:16:18

the what took you from from our homeland and brought you there

1:16:24

why what was what did you do i just wanted to talk i just wanted i just

1:16:29

wanted to talk to them and speak

1:16:35

the spears were too heavy i couldn't hold the spears so i went to talk and

1:16:40

they took me the spears were too heavy who's what

1:16:46

why did why were you were you in a were you in conflict with

1:16:51

someone they took you away but why were there others of our tribe around

1:16:57

you when you were taken no i went alone you went alone oh

1:17:03

father wanted me to take a spear and go with the others

1:17:09

and fight but i couldn't spear was too heavy so i decided to go on my own

1:17:16

and ask them to stop but they wouldn't so i asked again and they still wouldn't

1:17:21

and then they took me

1:17:27

sent you on a fool's errand

1:17:33

they always seemed never seemed quite sure of what the right thing to do was

1:17:41

what was your last contact with them did they give you any instruction before you went out on your own i went in the night

1:17:49

in the night went in the night and i flew as far as i could as far as my wings would take me

1:17:59

i i know that feeling

1:18:05

but [Music] i left when i left i just wanted to get as far away from

1:18:11

them as i could i wasn't given us the depth of well-wishes that i think

1:18:17

you probably left with it did seem to revere you quite highly

1:18:24

i i saw it in one of my dreams they sent soldiers so many soldiers

1:18:31

they sent men with swords and shields and bows and

1:18:36

they killed the entire tribe and i couldn't have that happen you saw this in a dream

1:18:43

cause i didn't all of my dreams every night it wouldn't go away

1:18:48

oh no no no no no no no no uh

1:18:55

i'm uh would i recall uh any conversations like my last

1:19:01

conversations with my my tribesmen uh regarding regarding like keto

1:19:09

um the nature of of tito's own abilities

1:19:16

um yes you would heard whisperings just in their rapid growth in in the

1:19:24

increased acuity of his visions but

1:19:31

it's not surprising then that they found you and took you

1:19:37

[Music] i

1:19:42

my first instinct would be to try to return you to them but

1:19:48

based on your dreams i i just clutch my

1:19:54

chest i shouldn't think if there's any tribe to go back to

1:19:59

[Music] and i uh uh just hold him

1:20:06

for a moment uh and just try to process everything he's saying to me

1:20:13

all right so if you were to look over there within the proceeding uh minutes or so you just

1:20:18

see us like in in an embrace uh trying to like uh steady each other uh through this

1:20:26

like loss or grieving i'd sort of look to where flynn has gone

1:20:31

off to and then i look over to hey freed what's happened up to besides indulging

1:20:37

flynn's uh curiosity uh you can see he's still in in conversation with timmy um

1:20:43

it seems like from what you can catch it seems like he's almost doing a little interview of like

1:20:49

what are you able to do what are you willing to do like what's your level of commitment here um but he

1:20:56

uh hayfried seems all for having timmy as an assistant and timmy seems to be happy to uh be interviewing for

1:21:02

something yes timmy's a good sport [Music] um

1:21:08

i guess i'll look to zeta what do you think he will do

1:21:13

now that you're out ah well i'm gonna have to pretty much

1:21:20

figure my life out um i would i would assume that there's

1:21:26

you know i i i have to go back to a temple but i would have to figure out a new name a

1:21:32

new identity and then you know oh gosh there's the whole deal with

1:21:39

having to tell my family

1:21:45

her eyes recede and go completely bloodshot as her head is thrown back and

1:21:51

she begins chanting these these guttural incantations and um

1:21:57

flynn as you look over towards immediately uh making an eyeline towards the cage you see the

1:22:05

creature in there making the exact same muttering noises

1:22:12

[Music] you understand what they're saying and

1:22:19

they continue to chant over and over in life and in death i shall serve the

1:22:25

outcast as zeta begins to rise up from the platform

1:22:30

that is where we're gonna end this session we're gonna call it right there

1:22:35

what are you doing for summer vacation i don't know

1:22:43
