Actual Play - Swords of the Serpentine - Losing Face - Episode 1

As dawn breaks across the city of Eversink, a group of adventurers sit gathered in their favorite tavern. The calm is soon interrupted when the proprietor approaches them carrying a sheet-wrapped figure. As he lifts the sheet up, the adventurers are struck silent, where a face should be is only a blank space with two slits for a nose. “She needs help” urges the proprietor.

Adam – Game Master
David – Koban the Wound Binder – Barbarian Healer

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I did as a matter of fact. I

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Feel like I'm going to be doing a lot of what I used to joke are the warrior heels

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is where I lob a tankard of ale at a person and yell at them to walk it off and surprisingly it works

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Take a salt tablet

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's how they teach it are for winners

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_04]: That's how they teach you an old BU

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_04]: What is best in life would you hit your deductible wait a second he's he's a doctor not an insurer

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_04]: The cop the cop well, he's not cops PI

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: The cops don't like him. It's or perhaps a Hawaiian shirt that your character wears of some sort

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_04]: What I mean whole I doesn't exist, but he does wear of a loose

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_04]: colorful shirt with many flowers and he has a pretty good mustache I

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Think this bad are you sure that you're pretty good. Are you sure that you can select that mustache to all?

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_00]: What Chris said what I just felt like ten years older we're getting the Magnum PI reference

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, hey ever sink that's where this is gonna be set it today. So pretty much all

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the book has written like ever sink is the one setting that's really elaborated on I think on the website

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_00]: They've kind of made up outlying places, but our games gonna take place in the ever sink

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So ever sink is a city that it's just slowly sinking into this swampy Delta has for centuries

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_00]: the goddess Denari

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Raised it up out of the depths of that Delta a city built around it and

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_00]: As it kept growing she kept rising in Godhood and voila now we have ever sink huge population

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably a hundred thousand. It's in the world. It is the largest trading hub

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_00]: That you got people go shop from let me go there to shop from all across the the planet

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And now it's kind of we're divided up into several little districts as well

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Trying to think of any of the big the big things that we're gonna get but so you guys are not sort of fluent

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're not gonna be

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: With all the nice rich people you're not you don't really hang out in the Grand Bazaar

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You're not in the old city part of it

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Your aunt well, I'll let you guys get a pick. What sounds good for you all Docs or slums

[00:03:49] slums

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_03]: slums fits

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I was gonna say I could do some good trading at the docks but two out of three

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Well good thing about about ever sink

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You're sure it's pretty much Venice. You're surrounded by water. You know, we use boats for travel and so forth

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're pretty much even though it's not the proper doc. There's little doc Chris

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_03]: So you can have a little talk buddy. So oh boy my old little doc

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: cute little dingy

[00:04:17] Wow

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Does this mean can I get my own gondola next?

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: That's pushing it. I mean you've got a tiny doctor

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So tell me guys Chris already

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of jumped in her on this one address. Yeah, what time of year do you think it is over and ever sink?

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: rancid stinky hot summertime

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was about to say doesn't ever sink just basically have two seasons which are

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: horrible summer and not quite as horrible summer

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Nightmare swamp or hurricane

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Wait a minute. This this is Florida

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta tell me if this is Florida

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_00]: You guys are just answering my second question. I want the weather's like so, you know

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Weather is here. I wish you were beautiful skies are too clear life's too easy today

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I would dancing dirty black summer in my head, but that works as well David

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So as we mentioned you guys are in the slum, so you're actually it's about mid-morning and

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You all just kind of finish up past couple weeks. You finished up one of your big jobs

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Anybody care to elaborate on what your last paying gig was because the money's starting to go here

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You're feeling the need to get back into the game

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_01]: we chased after that

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_01]: vile sorcerer that was

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Extorting all sorts of people to try to get out of the old haunted amusement park

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: We ripped his face off and found that it was actually old man. Oh, Mally

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Now

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_03]: We

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Were

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: basically

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_03]: working as a

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_03]: guards for a merchants stall or something

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Caravan maybe

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, what I meant like a merchant stall and like at a market so several stalls altogether

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Like the idea of a caravan to you. Well, they had to get to ever sink from somewhere

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And maybe we just sort of rolled into town on the caravan and because of the way ever sink sort of just captures

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_04]: outsiders we never left

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: So we're tech technically none of us are from ever sink

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Or

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Do me a favor type your no type your characters names in there in the chat

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, so I can try to record everybody by name

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure easily done as a matter of fact, there's a way to do it here

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Hold on. Hold on

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Even though I do have access to the character sheet is quicker for me to look at the discord

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: now I get you there so I guess I like that so you kind of just

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You haven't been in this city very long still getting kind of used to things and maybe I'm actually from the city

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: But I went out and then just came back with the caravan

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Mmm, that makes sense. So you

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So you may have actually shown them, you know, this nice little watering hole you find yourselves in this early morning. I have no idea

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Really what your house characters kind of look like here. So

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Picture this you're in the you're in the local watering hole

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You just see the barkeep just stepped outside for a moment. He's apparently brand, you know him

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, what are y'all doing in the meantime? So what do you look like? What are you doing?

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I know that you're I know that we got a

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: procure of

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: illicit substances a investigator and a barbarian

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_00]: flash nurse practitioner I

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: imagine brands to be a

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: bit on the smaller side

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a little out of shape

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: he's kind of got kind of got a

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: face that groups almost oh

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: like

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He always looks a little bit glum, but then you look in his eyes and you realize he is just calculating the whole time

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: He's not who you expect to buy drugs from

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: So the look is kind of also fashioned by brand to the guy. He does it himself. It's on purpose

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Sweet. So what are you doing in there?

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I will be I'll check check around to see if there's anyone looking to buy and

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: then I will go grab myself a drink and

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Find a spot in wave the eyes over if they want to okay

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: How about our good old ill de Fonso?

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Does that right? Yeah, it's um, I mean, okay, I don't speak Italian

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll define so is

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_04]: He looks like Captain Lu albana

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Put the rubber bands in the beard and everything

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: No, just the mustache from when he was playing Super Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show. I love it

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_04]: That reaches out such a level, you know, he's a very large man with a very large voice

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: What is he doing in the watering hole I

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Trick it away his last couple dimes because it's you know spent all his pay

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Hasn't paid rent

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Food is too expensive

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_04]: But cheap beer is just within his price range and then hoping he'll stumble into a job or otherwise

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_04]: He'll have to make up some work for himself

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and finally

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Cobin is it coban wound bond?

[00:10:03] Coban

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Remembered that

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Now to be fair I took the name off of the stuff that they use on horses to

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Basically hold the bandages on without actually gluing and

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Just you know putting adhesive on them because Coban and Conan sounds very very similar, right?

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: so I want you to picture a

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_01]: nice seven foot tall

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Barbarian with far too many muscles like

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Looks like he shouldn't be able to move because that is not a six pack. That is more like a 12

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Covered in scars

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Not covered in clothes like there is no shirt on this man

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But there is a sword that is almost as big as he is strapped to his back

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see as far as the scar some very old some relatively new

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: My dress sense is leather and hide and that's good enough

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And at the moment I am stitching somebody up with a very very fresh gash and

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Just you know jammed a belt into his mouth and it's like hold here. Don't worry. This will be over soon

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, as to whether or not I caused that wound it's up to you

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm closing it up and I'm taking beer money for a bit for it

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Sounds good. You know, you got a place to work. I'm sure it's the short

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a nice fishing hook you found that you could do all that work with

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe somebody started out as a fish hook, but it's a needle now

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So Brian you did have a contact, you know kind of secured you guys a room in the in the slum area

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And you see as you're kind of looking around

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Disappointed just people really don't want to tie one off too bad, you know in a yam in the morning

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But I mean you could always try you know, I mean, but yeah, you see the man who's letting you kind of stay in

[00:12:08] his

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_00]: attic okay, if he was

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Galdo he walks in you see he's carrying a

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_00]: He's struggling. It looks like he has

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Something wrapped up in what looks like a sail like something human size he you know takes a couple steps steps. He's

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_00]: middle-aged which

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_00]: From my perspective now, I mean that's prime of life

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know why they would act like it would be a bad thing

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But he's you know dark skins you can tell you've worked out a lot outside quite a bit

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: he walks in just goes up right next to the table where

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Almost counting Captain

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Build the front so with the ponzo and lay in and lays his body just boom on the table

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So what's with the corpse

[00:13:03] Galdo

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_00]: We reached it down and grabbed your beer that's three quarters of the way drank and take the big draw off it

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_00]: It's back down. I

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_00]: sent the boys up to the

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Up to the swan swan vault that's what's called. Excuse me. I sent the boys up to the swan vault

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm one of them to move her mother things have been getting kind of iffy up there and they found this out

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_00]: By the small dogs, you know the one with the dinghy

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But for Chris's benefit. Yeah, but yeah

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He goes. This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen and he starts unwrapping the sheet around it and

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I am going to drop a picture into the chat

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me one second while break out snip

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_00]: dipping tools here a

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Snipping tool. I would I do my best educational work with slipping tools as well

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: so scissors

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's what they

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's what the app has for below like an icon

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: He lists the blanket off of this person's face and you can see that there is no face

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is kind of funny because that's to your earlier introduction of Colban

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: but you just you see a

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_00]: No, you'd assume attractive like you can't really tell from the face because all there is it's just it's almost like mannequin

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_00]: face or crash test dummy face almost just two slits for a nose and you could see the

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: the

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Bonework of you know cheeks and so forth but

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Looks like she's about in her 30s

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I just my boys just found I found this here found her in a boat

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_04]: You took this demon out of this boat and dragged it to this bar and dropped it on my table and then drank my beer

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_00]: He points at her chest. She's breathing. She's breathing and it's not a corpse that makes it better alive demon

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: This is wrong

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So what you guys can get from the very friend of very get-go who wants to take a look at her first

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess you're late. Yeah, but yeah, it's right in front of you. I'll give you the first

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So while he's looking I'm just going to stand up and announce the bar as a whole

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Does anyone else have any bleeding sucking wounds?

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Does anybody want one

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And point right at the door

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: The hint well, do you have intimidation right I

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Would hope so if you don't have intimidation I caught that's what the name is now. So yeah

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I've got I've got intimidation of two and the sword is my sector

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, they clear on out of there pretty quick

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: The ponds do it's a farm. So excuse me. Yeah, what?

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_00]: What abilities you have you want to kind of check with here?

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_04]: What do you got? I mean my first move is gonna be spirit site

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Are there any ghosts or demons or ancient evils hovering around this person?

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: No

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. You do pick something up though

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: There's no

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: the victim so

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been stolen as well. You could only assume it was stolen along with the face

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a spirits been stolen

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Because you're basically seeing an empty like hole there this breathing and whatnot then

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Everything that is that person so memories skills like abilities like things like that

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_00]: There they're all gone with her

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you don't see any other spirits but you don't see the one that you really need to see too well

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_04]: She's got no soul. So we're looking for some sort of mirror creature

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you guys got

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Next he would like take a look at it here. Let's go around. I

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure I know a scurrilous rumor or two about it. I keep my nose to the mayor to the ground

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you've heard two or three things even in a short time? I mean, I think you've been there one

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Took about month and a half probably go through all that money you made probably so

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_00]: fast few months like

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You've always you've heard of a few stories of someone dead being found always like

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_00]: People get murdered. Nobody's caught but occasionally they'll also find a

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_00]: body without a face as well

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Kid you pretty much heard this from kids just telling stories about the the faceless people but

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Bodies have been turning up dead and bodies have been turning up without faces

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_03]: There's been a lot of a lot of corpses around here and a few of them have been faceless for what I understand

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_03]: But I have to admit I never thought I'd see one in person

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: hmm, oh

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_01]: man, I

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Know monstrosities

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: According to

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it wouldn't be a book but according to Wadley's occult primer what kind of things are there that steal faces?

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_00]: All this is up

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, obviously it's to work at the faceless faceless are basically bipedal

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: monstrosities that literally still faces and wear them as their own

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_00]: With it they get the memory skills appearance

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: you

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to talk them into basically returning the face or the body

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_00]: They're mimicking dies like it'll

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It's got a couple days, you know

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever whatever where you would starve to death or die from not drinking liquids

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty much the time period that you know from not just no monstrosities

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But from your medical knowledge is yeah, you're kind of on a clock with this one. So to speak

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: like you is it possible to carve this person a

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Makeshift mouth for the next couple of weeks days or so so that they could actually

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So that we can jam water and or food in

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_00]: out with the curse

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Right curse is just gonna steal that away because that's technically part of face got it. Yeah

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You let me point to no monstrosities. Did you have just one just one?

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you do know you do know that

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_00]: the faceless actually

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Are not fond of dogs dogs since they can fool people by their appearance, but they can't fool them by smell

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Right. So we need to get a dog

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Preferably something that is small and portable that we can take with us

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll let you guys instead just round table and food here

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_00]: If any of you all have any other abilities you think is I want to give everybody one go around at it

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_00]: If you all have any other abilities you want throw stuff out there. I can tell you

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_04]: But she looks wealthy right like that's not the dress you wear to the fish market well

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You're getting

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_00]: What you're getting here is this like it even though the picture seems kind of refined that looks more like a gondola

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, gondola worker, okay. Yeah gondola worker

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But now as you're kind of looking through here you do see like it looks like

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Her her hands are also the image doesn't really do justice or also fuse together

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_00]: The fat they did just now they're all touching but you can see by looking at her fingers the indent aware there were rings

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You can see even though her ears have also kind of melted closer to her lobes closer to her head

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Or more to her jaw line

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Before they did whatever this is

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Good possibility like you can see where there's earrings had been there. You see

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_00]: outlines of

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Basically on the back of her neck like you can see where she apparently wore something heavy

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't heavy necklace at one point in time. There's kind of like a little

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Indention there as well. So yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say she's

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_00]: money of sort do you

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Any of you guys you got you had vigilance, right?

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Right with your which your vigilance and you kind of pick up on this to

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Brand because you know, you're always looking for marks. Anyway, I mean

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Skin just flawless. It looks like somebody to spend a great deal of time taking care of themselves

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You see that

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Trying to see what else you could see from it. You've even her hands

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_00]: You can like flip them over and they're not callous. So she's definitely not a gondola

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're what? I mean know it a gondolier gondolier

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't have those telltale calluses of hard work. Yeah, yeah

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely not or the telltale calluses of sword work or telltale calluses of any kind really

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so you it says you say she had in that ring indentions on which fingers

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Not several none of which would been the it is no no ring finger like I'm married

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_00]: indication

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_03]: What I'm thinking is I have an idea

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to spend a point of ridiculous luck. I happen to know of a particular lady who has

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Who's known to wear rings on her particular fingers and a very heavy necklace

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_03]: No of her maybe not know her just a coincidence

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're wanting to use a point of ridiculous luck. Yep. Okay

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_00]: That's always that's the equivalent of the time travel from time watch

[00:23:06] right

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Like oh, yeah

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: No, this woman what's her name?

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_00]: She looks familiar and I hate to completely shut it shut down the mystery right in the very beginning here

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'll tell give you this I you think you've seen her you can tell that she's definitely new

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: She looks like she's new murder at new money

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I know what district she goes around and maybe

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_00]: you do is you get closer to her you do get a catch a wimp a whiff of a

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Unique scent and

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_00]: You kind of what you gather well, I'll give you with your ridiculous. Luck is that you you see

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You know where she probably ended up purchasing this like this woman has all the indications of somebody for money that has money

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_00]: is she

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You could you know, probably do a pretty good job describing her and all it not you think she's at the

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You would bet your last hour that she has been spent she got this from the red bottle this perfume

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This perfumery is in the

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_00]: What district is that I'm trying to think?

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a temple market. So their church by the way, you'll love this Chris

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Great, I love this. I mean, I'm

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Straight I know I know what it is Denari

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_00]: for those of you at home Denari the goddess of everything is also the god of flight commerce and

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Whenever ever diamond or coin is spent is a prayer for Denari so to speak

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So her clergy and the town itself has been you know

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: incentivized to

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Retrait that's why some of the more illegal things that go on are

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: If it gets out of hand, they'll take care of it. But even then even when you're selling drugs

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You're still unfortunately too much to your chagrin which was probably why you left for a while

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Every deal you do is it is a prayer to Denari

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So the red bottle in a night in excuse me, the red bottle is at the temple market

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_00]: now it's not gonna be like

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_00]: super easy to get there but

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Cuz there's we're talking about it's at the spot near the temple itself. It's deep into it

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not on the outskirts where you have all those people that are

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You know

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they put them at a distance the perfume shops at a distance because they occasionally blow up like trailers

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Right. It's almost like they're

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Using alcohol that has you know flammable fumes and a candlelit workshop

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_01]: weird

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Anything is that it's that suitable Chris? I just yeah

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I at least know where she bought the sense this is from the red bottle

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Fancy yeah, I even do you want better?

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm kind of benevolent with this stuff. Anyway, I'll say that was a zero point spin if you try anything

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be circumventing. I

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Have to run it right now till I double check the rules and figure out

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Then I'll ask you to spin a point but that was that was pretty good call I like that

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I thought it was interesting. So yeah, so if we can get to the red bottle maybe

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_03]: carry the

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Body with us or something say hey, have you seen this woman? I think it would probably be best if we were to

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Leave her here where it is

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_01]: safer

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, or at least leave her in the care of this gentleman here

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is the faceless take faces which means they use these faces

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So we just need to find out what she looks like and then we can find the faceless

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so yeah, that sounds like it so Galdo says

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of reaches a little bit for that glass and I'm sure that it is

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_00]: guarded at that point when he goes just try to steal a drink and

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, all right, I

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what I'll go back to the place. I'll put her in your boys's room and then if you guys can I mean

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You're really something you get something out of this is the boat she was found in still there or whatever

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we take a look at that. See what we could come up with

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's still there. The boys said that

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They did they just they didn't even touch her I ran down there just to get the poor thing out of the

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_00]: elements

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: God, you know how hot it is in those mosquitoes

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Now instead of her will be alive

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_00]: He really you know gives you think of that as that conversation comes up. You do look down to her

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't really have a lot of like bites from you know prolonged exposure out there

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_04]: She couldn't have been out there too long she'd be made a mosquito

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Good sign man

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That or they just don't bite

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, maybe they don't bite the accursed

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So which which is the places you all want to go to first? Do you want to go look for the perfumery or the?

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Scene of the crime so to speak

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Do we know you said that you know of her so do you know a name that we could give to the perfume maker

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's I've just seen her around and I just recognized by the smell

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Or at least I've seen somebody who's dressed dresses like this around a little more a face a little more in faced, you know

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yes, I mean clearly

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm. I think that if we go into the perfumery and say have you seen a noble woman without a face

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to look at us like we're insane. No, we just follow up with do you want to?

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it generally works

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not free but we'll definitely show you

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: let me grab a scrap of cloth and

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Scrape it across her neck. See if I can get some of that scent on the cloth

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to go in

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Put it into an apothecary bottle so that we can basically save a bit of the scent

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So that when we go there we can say we're looking for somebody who got this perfume

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_00]: David I'm gonna give you guys a refresh point in the general pool. So

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It's one right now, I'll just keep up with it there so I have such a good idea

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You know if the game encourages this kind of stuff too. So

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_00]: at any point

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: In combat or whatnot if you needed to refresh an ability

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I think it's general abilities

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's your actual investigative things are once they're gone. They're gone to the end of the adventure

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But any general ability you can refresh at one point

[00:30:25] Okay

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So well add that so you you you dab it around and you get what you feel like a pretty good odor

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_00]: amount of odor on there and

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, gonna go to the gondola I

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think the gondola is the best choice first so we check out the

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: If not the scene of the crime at least the scene of where the

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Victim wound up and see we can lean from that before we start trying to figure out who she is and hey free gondola

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's not like the gondola has a VIN number. We're gonna need to scrape off

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd like the last one

[00:31:06] I

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Put that thing on there. Anyway, it doesn't make any sense

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Who would name a gondola?

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Rookies whoever named it a little miss slippy

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know how long it took to just

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Scrape that paint off

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah about ten minutes. I watched you do it

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the principle of the thing if it if it had been a lesser man doing the scraping

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It would have taken a lot longer

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a faux cleaving sword like a scraper 20 minutes

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's not argue about how long it takes to scrape paint off a wall. This is happening as we're going there

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll just say that so, you know you followed the direction that gal dog said that his children found the victim and

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You see it tied up at the edge of the

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Canal excuse me. I only was called a candle

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It's more it's more of a secluded spot not necessarily to the dock with the dinghy that you guys were

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_00]: thinking about but it's a little further up from it tied off as a

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the stream kind of meanders, you know, it's got that the serpentine kind of curve

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It's they put it in one of the curves over near some of the

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Grease and brush on the side. There's tied up. You see that a tarp had been

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_00]: strung over top of it and

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been you know, kind of hurled up. I mean, you know rolled up and kind of tossed in the back of the condo from there

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_00]: If you like

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so there you see the boat

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_00]: What do y'all want to do? What you want what abilities you want to try? Well, uh

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_03]: See what I got here. I am going to say alright guys turn around for a moment

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Here we go turn around just turn around another thing. We're not allowed to see

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Joseph Smith

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you doing the sorcery?

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You're doing the sorcery. No, we very distinctly need to not know he's doing the sorcery

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_04]: So if we get caught we can't say yes, he's definitely a sorcerer

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_03]: All right. So I'm just going to assume y'all have turned around at this point. Yes, I've turned around

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I am going to pull going to pull a vial out of my

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_03]: out of my up

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_03]: robe

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Put a dab on them on my forehead and then pour the rest onto the gondola

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm going to have a fucking trip about it. That's my prophecy

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What are you hoping to gain out of this?

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm hoping to at least get an idea of

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: What the faceless looks like or the face of the woman and maybe the path of where the gondola came from

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_03]: The more we can narrow the better we can triangulate this the faster will be able to find the person

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_03]: or the faceless

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Aces what are we gonna give them? That's gonna make them give the face back a

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_04]: sword I

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't think killing them gets the face back

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Just kill them get the face back

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That depends on what kind of faceless. I mean there are some of them that you actually have to run through

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_01]: there are some that you actually have to

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_01]: convince through a bit of

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Charm and bargaining and then they'll get the face back and then there's others that if you beat on them enough

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: They will give you whatever you ask for to make the pain stop. All right, y'all you're cutting into my drugs prophecy

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry. Okay drugs probably what now?

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Give us give it to us. Oh mighty lord of mushrooms or whatever. I

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Didn't actually say that in character. Oh

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I was about to say so Coban does not care for sorcery at all, but I figure that as a team

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Bill defonzo knows this well enough to do the distracting

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's kind of like the I get not a plane who I get not a plane here drink this milk

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Where did this milk come from drink thought?

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't even know if this is actually sorcery. I could just be tripping tripping balls

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay potato with dildo

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so this is your

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Mandy ish acid drug dream as Nicholas Cage wakes up to find everything in ashes kind of seen Chris

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So if yeah, so we got the mood set here, so I'm just gonna throw you images and stuff like that

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: all right, so

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You kind of it kind of starts off as like an overhead

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of kind of view flashes you see you see a different gondola going down you see

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Though it's it's more

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the fact that the soul was made that you know, because you heard it was a font

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So speaking about this here

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the fact that the souls kind of immersed with the other one

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_00]: but you see you're really just seeing like the point of view almost from the back of the or over the shoulder third person from

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: The gondolier and you see their hands

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_00]: By looking at the hands that it was a woman who was the gondolier that was steering it down

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You see that you see the boat the gondoliers top where this one has been tied off at

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: you see

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_00]: them reach forward and grab and just grab the

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Woman by the back of my shoulder blades and you see your slump

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_00]: You see them taken

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Quickly swat taken her clothes off and

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you're getting kind of blurred images of that and then you see the gondolier

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You know again more over the shoulder than anything else. It's not quite first, but it's not quite third

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Going about like disrobing putting the clothes on putting her other clothes back on the lady there you see

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You know

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You kind of notice in this whole deal that just the gondolier that they're on is very

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Finally

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Dress painted up. This isn't like a note a normal one. This is more of a nobility

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's an elegant blue and gold painted gondola

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_00]: probably

[00:37:13] nobility

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So not necessarily the merchant the mercantile

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Or the new money as they like to call it

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to think what else here. Hold on you hear

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You hear music kind of cutting in and out cutting through it like an operatic

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it kind of you know

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of cuts in and out like static so much so forth and then you kind of

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_00]: You know you snap back out and the Sun's

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Mood, maybe a little bit. You've been kind of in this little drug trippy haze

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Was like a salvia high took about ten minutes

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe it just felt like infinity for me

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But then there's the eighth kind of face stealer which those what you have to do is you have to offer them

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I you got we're working with here what this

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Not new money. This person was nobility they

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: blue and gold filigree everywhere

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: opera, I think

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Definitely somewhere

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_03]: We're gonna have to ask the church. I think cuz definitely gonna be old old older or

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Center it down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah great

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, at least if we return their wayward daughter or whatever they better deep pockets

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably best for us you need to throw up the canals right there. You should just like take care of it

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I just turned immediately. Yeah. All right. Yeah, all right. That's okay. Pat is back. It's fine

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Get it all out, honey

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_00]: As you're staring at your reflection through now mercury water. It does occur to you though

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_00]: brand that

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Why did they if they they even cared about the body? Why did they even bother to?

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Dress it up and modestly. I mean when the kids found it it was covered up. Yeah

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Getting some mixed feelings here. It's

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of care kind of taken here

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You saw you saw that you saw the knots you saw it was time

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It was trying to tie the try to boat off as it was doing all this stuff here

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe not somebody who is adept at tying knots so

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_00]: The gondolier wasn't quite a skilled gondolier

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. I gathered that I think so that would also mean that the gondolier didn't stir still that face of a gondolier

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's definitely something's going on here. I'm not sure what though. Well

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe we check out the old

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_04]: guild of

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_04]: canals

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_04]: See what they got to say they control condoliers, right? I cannot watchers. Yeah

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let's go talk to him. You alright you need a drink

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll be fine

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_03]: All right

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: That actually was me just trying to sit up while I nearly burped

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So as you are so you're going toward temple market as you're going I mean what bad thing occurs a

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: To us or to somebody around us. Yeah, what bad thing happens to y'all

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Somebody is coming to complain about my product. Oh

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So yours you're going down

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Going down

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_00]: There's that I know

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You sold oregano

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and Joe. How did it what made it worse?

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It's no I sold them the real stuff

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just it wasn't alchemically pure enough because I hadn't quite fit

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Mastered the recipe. That's actually why I initially left town

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_04]: What made it worse?

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Hmm

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, whoever they sold a two's got

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Three or four hard dock working brothers

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're looking to lump somebody up

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so you trying to I kind of like the idea of grant of a a grand theft

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: auto almost like they put

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_03]: A gondola chase

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Well into the gondola height high octane gondola chase

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So they're in the D

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Gondola. All right, I did not anticipate this particular outcome, but it was real with it here. So what would we use to?

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Like what are you gonna make your first row to get away?

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I immediately passed the gondola pole to Coban

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's the right move

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, ten out of ten

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just gonna roll athletics and I'm just gonna start polling just trying out distance them

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Muscle and ten feet of wood and about 20 feet of wish a motherfucker would

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_00]: You go ahead and row I'll get ready to go ahead and tell me what declare what you're spinning first

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I was just gonna spend one

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and that's a six. I rolled the five plus one

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Plus one. Let's see. Let me pull up my

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_00]: My vote my document called bad guys

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_00]: See they've got here and apparently I can't click on it

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_00]: did you do to

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Alright

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like I've got alright. I am going to spend

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_00]: They really want to catch you. I'm going to spend three

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that mathematically happened. Hold on. Let me redo that. Yeah, that's impossible

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_00]: How do I I don't think it did the math right? I think it let me read it

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just a three. You didn't add the numbers in

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_00]: one the six plus three they really want to catch you so

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Despite really, you know wanting you so they're getting ahead you're getting ahead. So I'm gonna put

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna put one one little tick between you so your head by one right now

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Next move so

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody else now. How are you gonna assist on this? We're just gonna have coban just keep on pan up paddling like

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, if we pass any sentinels of the church, I'd like to invite them to prevent this

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Clearly felonious pursuit from catching us with my sway

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Can I interpret to interpret that is?

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Kind of thing. Yeah

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Help will be pursued by six or seven guys who want to do a serious time

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Hello

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Help you really are going with the luau down aren't you?

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_00]: sway is a

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Investigative builder, right?

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_00]: No, general general. Okay, go ahead and I can't mean it

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_00]: You know spent two and I rolled a five

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_00]: For seven. I don't even know how to argue with that to be honest with you. I kind of watch

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_00]: How do I counter that?

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you're certain

[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Tell you what they have a bottle we're gonna drug dealers Jesus Christ

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what they're saying not what we're saying that's that's the counter argument I

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Am gonna say one of the other ones is gonna try to throw a bottle as you

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_00]: As you're screaming try to silence you cuz we did say hard work and hard. I don't know hard drinking

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, he's decent lobs up in that shoe. So he's gonna go with warfare

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Three the hit thresholds for so you said you wrote a four or five anyway, so

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Total of seven. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, you're definitely making ruckus or starting to get nervous

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna say that that move watch the bottle glunk into the canal beside us

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: He's littering

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Do moral to you. That's a good question here. I need to know this real quick

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me put a note in here real quick

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_00]: How like let me check this like that sounds like it would be more like you're attacking their moral or morale

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Then that would say

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wonder I assume that's probably let me double-check the the pictures I posted a second ago

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_00]: That sounds like that would be one of those I

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Get like a d6 or a d6 plus one. I'm just trying to

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_00]: like

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Any suggestions? I'm am kind of glancing through it right now

[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Sounds good to me. Yeah sure

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Why regardless I'm gonna say it's a d6 plus one

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So like cuz if I think the cops are gonna get there it's gonna start messing with me

[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_00]: here, so

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_00]: why don't you go ahead and

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Once you go ahead make a make a damage row. So

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Let me check the old discord to see what says about the damage

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_04]: one d6 plus one

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not gonna spend any investigative points at this time. Ah

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_04]: One that's pitiful so total of two

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Two they're not that scared of the cops. I guess he's getting a little shaky

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, I'm about to make him shake here

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, man. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know why you think I tried to sell you bad product

[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I would never do that intentionally

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But you're gonna make a lot of enemies with the guild of architects and sit canal watches if you do this because I'm their main

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Supplier for all of their pain relief

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_03]: You're gonna have a bad fucking day man, so

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna be spending your

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Investigative points for plus three right? Yes. Okay. I'm spending a point of trustworthy. I

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Think that's fair

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm say so and

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll use that for to add to my sway and I'm gonna roll. I'm gonna add a plus four to my sway

[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_03]: to this role

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a hit. That's eight

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I believe doubles the threshold

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_00]: If it's max I thought it doubles as I did hold on I did have I did see that

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I just saw why we're doing this. It's kind of

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see

[00:48:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I think as in one of those pictures I posted I thought

[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_03]: If your tech exceeds the target number by five or more you score one critical hit hit threshold usually three so eight

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But in the hit thresholds are usually four I think aren't they?

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_03]: if you have a if you have a certain set of

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Athletics a certain mount. I believe it goes up, but I don't think so

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But hey, if you don't get me critical, I don't care

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like the idea of I don't want to spend like let's go with it there

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go with it there. They're rolling like shit anyway, because I'm using D&D beyond so why don't you go ahead and roll your

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Damage so that would be a four plus one so five ten damage ten morale

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It goes over to the next person doesn't it?

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Sure, I think I mean I'm thinking something I saw that in the notes. I mean I'm looking at that real quick

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it bleeds. I know that I thought David

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_00]: He would be just going crazy with a stick or a sword killing people, you know

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And it would kind of be bouncing all over the place. Oh not yet

[00:49:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That was plan B plan A was let's see if we can get away and not cause the violence yet

[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I do like the attention to detail for repercussions leaving the bloody swath

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_00]: In the river hold on where about would I see that

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Difficulty create one special effects

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_00]: In our mouth is morale

[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just where if they want to attack their the guild's main source of pain relief. That's on them. I

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_00]: think

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean dude. I'm going to go with it here like basically what I'm what I'm thinking is

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You took out you said you wrote eight

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Or what was your damage ten total ten total?

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and add two more

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Tokens in with that. I mean you're doing kind of an area effect anyway in my opinion

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_00]: One of them just jumps out of the boat

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_03]: one

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Leaves the other one that Joe was freaking out to try to hit him with a bottle and just go blinking right past

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Into the water. He looks at that empty spot. He jumps out and

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just the main dude

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_00]: paddling

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So how close is his boat to ours?

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_00]: That's your decision

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_00]: because you get to you get to decide you were one between or

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You could reverse are you within striking distance is what you're asking

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm not aiming for striking distance as much as it is that I'm going to just reach out with my stick and turn

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_01]: His boat around

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like if I shove it the right way, and it's just one person paddling

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna take him way too long to get to where he's back on track

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Where's like hey come on and now he's just taking the boat around in circles. Oh

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, go ahead and make your spin. I'll say that how does this sound?

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_00]: All this scream is going on. He's focused. He's at the he's there just paddling away at the very front of that gondola

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: He hears a splash. He keeps paddling. Here's his flash

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_00]: He turns back and notices that he's still paddling

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Towards you and you've stopped so go. Yeah, go ahead make your move

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Actually at that point. I'm just going to look over at him

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_01]: grin

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Put my hand onto the sword across my back and just say you got to ask yourself a question today

[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like intimidation how many bones do I want to break?

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Can set those for you

[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_03]: All of them and for a minor fee I can make it not hurt that bad oh

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We need the pain because if I don't have the paid

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's set right the pain helps me know that it worked

[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Row in temptation or like your it is an intimidation. You're going for what were you wanting to make on this?

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That's intimidation, but it's that's just a straight-up social I've got intimidation it to

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_00]: You were also talking medical I am

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So spend one on buying wounds and let's see how this goes

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so obviously you get a plus three for the bond wounds

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So I mean honestly unless you just like you've already wrote a four. I wrote it anyway just to see it

[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So I rolled a six

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_00]: What occurs to me is that I have not been doing this and I just it's just my mistake here I

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Forgot that and we're gonna keep going. This is like our first time playtesting this here

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I got I get to combat morale attacks with grit

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So how much grit?

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Do I have?

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it looks like me being a mook it's just base row so we see what you do to me

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_00]: What was your row again?

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So I rolled six on the die plus that three would put it to a solid nine. Yeah

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_00]: There's no way in hell. Let's just see how bad you get him. Well

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Narrate it for me. I don't want to narrate this

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_00]: So how does it how does this fight in because you did you have completely demera de-morales?

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_00]: As he stops paddling stairs at you frightened as the boat just

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Bite nudges. I hate them against the back of your gauntlet

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just gonna reach out put a hand on his chest pull him in close and

[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Just say you can surrender at any time

[00:54:08] boom

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And just watch him just fainted away

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah falls back in the boat is not getting back up

[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Cowering covering his hands covering his head. You think you may see a wet spot appear on his trousers

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, man, are you all right? I've got something that can help you out with that

[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_00]: It'll calm you right down. He waves his head there. I

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Think what to say it chief is surrender and leave us alone

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They just stopped paddling

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Problems the paddles floating away from the boat right now you great

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_04]: See you later. All right, so they're even dare. She

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So you guys now have four points?

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So for refresh, so I don't know if Joe's game when he played this at Gen Con

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Had that same kind of the same kind of feel to it there, but they even started it out when I was playing

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_00]: With a combat scene just so it begins in media res and then we already is we had the action we had to fun and then

[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_00]: You know you have a pull points you can kind of pull from

[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, well go ahead and say you all have may I get you I have no further interruptions

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_00]: you're making fairly good time and

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_00]: You make it to the temple marketplace now

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You're a little underdressed and as a mild statement here, but you're a little underdressed for all this at the moment

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm wearing my best leathers and first

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_03]: We can't let our poverty offend all the rich folks up here

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like I'm basically dressed like ever sinks version of the dude

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know how many fur mean had to die to make this loincloth? It was more than three

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It's an impressive loincloth

[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll hit you with some

[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Some flavor text here the temple market is the largest and oldest island in

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Ever-sync with the primary Cathedral of Denari at its heart and the rest of the island is a vast and confusing

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_00]: marketplace of stalls shops and vendors

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Almost anything is for sale in the temple market if you have enough coin and you know who to ask

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_00]: The finest goods are generally closest to the Cathedral on land that is blessed by the goddess of commerce and civilization

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_00]: market priests wonder about you on the market and

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Make change or providing loans, you know if Christ were here. There would be many of a table flip Joe

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_00]: For the money and there's hard charge

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a cluster that I kind of alluded to beforehand of lower class

[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Or shops that are as you're you know, making your way in on the outer edge of

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Temple market that are isolated from the rest

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the Sam choice or public. Well, we have save a lot. I don't know what this is the fago of

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_00]: perfumes and and other goods so to speak

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's people from all walks of life here, but everybody really knows her place

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's a lot of

[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Competition going on, you know people you see my vendors. Yeah yelling at vendors

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Cutting in or under sale and under spot

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah now you guys have got to make it in to the the ritz here part of it

[00:57:42] so

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. Do any of you all have?

[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Do we have what are our allies? I like I don't have your she's pulled up

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_03]: What are your allies my allies are thieves guild and the guild of architects and canal canal watchers

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_01]: My allies are the outlanders and my enemy is actually the church

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Mmm, all of our enemy is the church. Yeah, I remember that

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_00]: defonso, it's Fonzio

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_04]: the

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_04]: My allies Lou Albato

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Are the city watch and commoners? I guess I decided the church doesn't like me not the watch

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_04]: That's good. The church doesn't like me because I got the spirit site and I don't work for him. Yeah

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you'd be a sentinel yeah

[00:58:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm

[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I have an idea. Yeah

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_03]: so since I have contacts with the thieves guild and I myself am

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Not exactly on the most up-and-up

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Because even in my even in my backstory, I was a thief before I became this alchemist guy. Mm-hmm

[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Ridiculous luck

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Again, yeah

[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Like how are we gonna get in here and that's when I noticed one of my old thieving buddies

[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Just kind of like walking out

[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Pretending to be a clothing merchant. I'm gonna interrupt you here

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_00]: This is gonna be a one of two thing here. You could either just basically

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Narratively if you want to kind of you only only want one spent now if you do use your ally

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_00]: If we were continuing you could save your

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Ridiculous luck, okay, and if you wanted you're basically gonna open kind of a deal like that

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. Yeah, then I'll stick with that. Okay. I mean it the story works out great and you're just lucky in general

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have to go around can't doing these can't

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_00]: To every little you know person that you encounter you

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Recognize the guy walk up to him. What's his name?

[00:59:47] Um

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's I open up a fantasy name generator is by myself I'm going for a vaguely Italian name so

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Menzati. All right, so you go out to men's office. Is that what you said? Menzati

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Menzafi apologize

[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Can always fall back on me there?

[01:00:08] God

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Man, so even God can't pronounce his name

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_00]: It happens so you go ahead tell him what you're looking for I guess this co-band do you kind of go

[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Wave your rag around his face or anything like it. We need something large in large for him

[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I was gonna just kind of

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, my plan before he said that was to just take a look at him. Can I find a tall merchant?

[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe broad-shouldered

[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me, do you wear a size large maybe a size barbarian? Well that that would be the spin of

[01:00:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Chris's actually could use his luck or preparedness or do you have preparedness? I mean anything I do actually I

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Also have preparedness

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But do you have the preparedness Benny? I don't have any I

[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Any I think the Benny's just for let me double check it. I there's at the beginning of this

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the Benny you definitely need eight for certain things to me. Yes, I know for a fact you need eight the Benny for

[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_03]: preparedness is

[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Flashback if you're prepared this rating is eight or more

[01:01:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You can narrate a flashback when your group prepared a secret plan in the past. So this actually wouldn't work for that

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. I wonder why they even have him like and this is just a curiosity thing itself, too

[01:01:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking for the general abilities

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Like why they even have it if you only can use it if there's like an eight there's it seems like there should be like

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: a

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: spin or something like the way it works is

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_03]: If you have it at eight or more

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You just get this one benefit that you can use once per

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Session no matter what doesn't have to be a spend. It just happens. Yeah

[01:01:51] [SPEAKER_03]: So like that that works for preparedness if it was something like athletics, I believe

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It gets you it makes your hit threshold five

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking this up. Are you guys cool if I just take a glance at this? So sure

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: We're just gonna get in touch with

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_01]: The old buddy manzani. How are you doing? Good to see you

[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have the money that you owe us?

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_04]: You know the usual questions that you ask somebody I need a size large and a size broad

[01:02:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I need a broad

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Wide yeah. Yeah, I think you need a broad too

[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_03]: already har har

[01:02:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm definitely the

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm definitely the tall and big and just

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of a mobile tent almost

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But not quite

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a child's large

[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I

[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Know you're right. You are a large child. I think the flashback just happens that yeah, the difference is you just wrote so David

[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Does a difficulty for sound fair to you?

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it does

[01:03:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so if you want to see if you can

[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you pack do you have a clip? Are you wearing a cloak that you can kind of conceal your?

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Cut sons out. I mean sons out you're gonna get you're gonna get burnt. You've learned out before

[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you can't always have your guns out

[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I

[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Refuse this premise. This is not Texas, sir

[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And that is a five on the die plus a one so that's a six

[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I say yeah, you've got something to screw yourself with so you quickly

[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You know your cloak that you had

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: That we narratively have now placed there you you know you reach back and you grab your hood and kind of

[01:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you you don't quite look like a priest. You don't quite look like a beggar

[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But you also look pretty fucking big and nobody wants to fuck with you

[01:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That is clearly a a pilgrim. Yes pilgrim. That's the word for going with today

[01:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: so yeah with

[01:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: With your contact you you were kind of as we were getting the wardrobe things straightened out

[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: you've kind of got the shortcut the best way to avoid all traffic and

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Get up to the inner shops the perfume

[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Rag didn't do anything for the thief

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't usually go around smelling noble women usually that kind of makes you a target of some sort, you know

[01:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: But to be fair, we're not using it yet

[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm holding off on breaking it out until we get to the actual perfume merchant

[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, if that makes any sense, I'd rather

[01:04:40] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I found have you smelled this no, damn it move on to the next one

[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: No

[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: By the time we actually get to the right person it may not have the right funk anymore and we don't want that

[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Excuse me. Does this smell like chloroform to you?

[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's not do the chloroform

[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so for a later better time I

[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Am not I am NOT going to make this like Final Fantasy or one of those old Japanese role-playing a turn-based role-playing games

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: We were walking through the map and then all of a sudden

[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Does the scene kind of blurs out in battle music church playing we won't do another one of those

[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, maybe it's just as we're like asking around where even though we're trying to be in it unobtrusive

[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_03]: We're still getting some attention you've got you leading the way

[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a pond the pond. So it's positive. I keep on the common Fonzie like, you know

[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Captain Lou, I was really disappointed in beginning that David didn't describe his character looked like Cindy Lauper

[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought they'd be a great duo

[01:05:45] well

[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Can't have everything no, you can't you know if it will make you feel better

[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I will tease up the hair and way far too many wear far too many bangles

[01:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And just start shedding them everywhere we go

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It looks like somebody killed Sonic the Hedgehog here, oh

[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what all those rings were yeah

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so as you all make your way through the crowd although unofficially

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Although this place isn't named

[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: people call it the red bottle because there's just

[01:06:20] [SPEAKER_00]: painting of a red bottle

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Elegantly done on the front of like a sign overhanging the shop

[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, everybody just calls it the red bottle the shop is

[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_00]: As you were you kind of picked this information up as you were talking to your contact where you're looking for it

[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_00]: there is ran by a swan the doll and

[01:06:43] [SPEAKER_00]: He's good at what he does the tad bit eccentric

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But and it thinks a lot of himself, but he can back up everything that he claims like he's

[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: He's good, and he knows it. He's the real deal and

[01:06:56] [SPEAKER_00]: You were warned about what you're getting ready to see

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: but as

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You're walking up. You notice that there is a guard posted there looks

[01:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Any of you guys have?

[01:07:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I know that Colban probably has anyone who has warfare or any kind of

[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Military experience, I mean you can kind of tell somebody

[01:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Who's experienced with a blade when you see them?

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what the Benny is for a warfare of ten, but

[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: We may find out though. I don't know. It's a market

[01:07:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably not a good place to do this

[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's you do notice there's a guard there

[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_00]: He's just kind of leaning against there good looking too

[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, like you can tell that he was probably hired not just for his abilities but for his

[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_00]: The Bart was date this game a little bit so

[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of looks like a very muscular Fabio or maybe a kin, you know, I'm kind of thinking Barbie movie. So

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So when I publish this into your people know that you know, we just got we finally cleared

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Barb andheimer

[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This can kill this can kills thieves this can collects hands

[01:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: This can't bit a man's throat out

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Whoa, I don't realize this Ken was a cooler

[01:08:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So, how do you guys want to get in so the the man as you as you walk up

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Pardon me chief. We got some questions for the

[01:08:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Proprietary this shop

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe you want to let us in?

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. So what kind of spin do you want to make here?

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So I can offer suggestion and to add a sway

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Just ask her and let me in. I mean we could sneak in later if we need to but yeah

[01:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I've actually got a charm here

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I've got a thought

[01:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's no spurn doesn't work

[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Look there's two ways that this can go down

[01:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You and I can try to figure out which of us is the strongest have a nice big knockdown

[01:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: drag out brawl right here in the street and

[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That wouldn't be good for either of us because no matter which one of us wins we both lose or

[01:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: We could figure out who's the strongest

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: later

[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_00]: this sounds

[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Like a you each beat up a cart and then whoever's cart falls apart first

[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the winner who doesn't do drugs. I think this is a me

[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I

[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Rolled a four I spent two sway

[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and let me see I think David backing you up here with

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see I'm kind of I'm looking at maneuvers real quick

[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_00]: When you want to achieve a non damage effect against a foe use a maneuver your target must choose to accept

[01:10:05] hmm

[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Well maneuvers are like if you were gonna actually not I take that back

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: maneuvers are like if you were gonna knock a sword out of somebody's hand and

[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: If you succeeded in like you say disarming them

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I can choose to let the blade go and that's cool and nothing happens or I could say no

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I keep my sword and in that case I take the damage does that make sense which is not what we did

[01:10:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I got it kind of confused with there. I think you get like

[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Team I think this is teamwork off top my head is what it was sounding like. Yeah, I like that

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I just want to see if David actually has to roll

[01:10:41] [SPEAKER_00]: To use a teamwork in stack instead of leaping into an attack given an allies attack damage

[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It lets you use morale damage when

[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Attacking so we're kind of going for a morale deal here

[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Take this car. I didn't realize we were taking he was it was morale damage. I didn't think this was an assault

[01:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we were just we're just like I take that I'm just trying to get rid of them

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I tell you what just go ahead and add a plus one for David there if I have to look it up

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_00]: That means that it's kind of slowing down. Yeah, I don't like

[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_04]: That will result in a total of seven

[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_00]: seven

[01:11:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So he kind of looks around the threat he's when a co-band was making the threat the man did reach he had a

[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I think why they call kite shields the big ones

[01:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Like a triangular sort of yeah, I'm like, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah

[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So he was kind of grabbing it and then oh, you know, we got this

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Menace here and in this way

[01:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You're making that sway attack

[01:11:47] [SPEAKER_00]: He's starting to think he looks around a bit and

[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like this one lean it right in just say where he can hear and maybe our party can

[01:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd hate to put some scars across that pretty face of yours

[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, it will make you a little bit scarier for the next round

[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But do you want to see where all of my scars are?

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_00]: All right. Well, that's fast. Let us in tell us five five in the pool guys. Yeah

[01:12:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Just just tell him that we said

[01:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Tell him that we threatened you just a little bit

[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: One second here and he

[01:12:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Still not turning his back one minute just takes the back of his hand and wraps on the door several times

[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And you see an older guy

[01:12:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Walk up. Yes, what is it? And then he just kind of

[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_00]: gestures towards you all and

[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Not leaving his post kind of more brings his shield around maybe to protect himself and it's been a factor

[01:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: but

[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You have an audience for it now

[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So hello, um, I'm sorry this came in such such a strange way, but I have I have a question for you

[01:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, no problem you go

[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So I just wanted to know

[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_03]: You sold us particular sent somebody. I just needed to know if you knew anything more about this person

[01:13:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Hand them the bottle and pop open the thing

[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay

[01:13:18] [SPEAKER_00]: One second when I scroll down to the really part there. I did not go back to the part I needed

[01:13:24] [SPEAKER_00]: so yeah, he picks up a picks up the rag kind of disdainfully and

[01:13:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Sniffs it two or three times. Hey, you kind of see the light so to speak kind of kick on there and

[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, what does he say here?

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Ah

[01:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. Yes. Yes. I know this I know this

[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Andy make him something's easy. I know they smell quite well. Oh

[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: That's wonderful. You see we got this we we got a bit of this perfume from

[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: The owner's

[01:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Poor sister who's just in so much trouble right now

[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: We're just trying to find find out where she lives so that we can get her sister back to her

[01:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: What

[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: She's longed after she

[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not stop his accent before it goes off. It goes off the rails here

[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, that's not part of the deal here

[01:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: We make when I make some perfume I make it just for them. That's ever ever fragrance ever everything is unique and

[01:14:27] [SPEAKER_00]: For that one person I formulate these for one person and one person only

[01:14:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, she

[01:14:34] [SPEAKER_03]: then that's that's doubly important because we've been lied to and we want to make sure that the

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: ladies who the sentence for knows if you want to

[01:14:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Make this work. I do need a

[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Investigative spin. So that's do you have scurrilous rumors? Perhaps I do

[01:14:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So just mark one off there. Yeah

[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, actually no, I said that you guys are using those but yeah if you have scurrilous rumors

[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Then yeah, oh, oh no. I'm making up a scurrilous rumor right now. It makes sense. Mm-hmm

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like the moment he said that i'm like, okay I can work with this

[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, uh

[01:15:14] [SPEAKER_00]: If that's the case then I will not be dealing with a dinara tivani anymore

[01:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: She has been she will be stricken from the book

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_03]: dinara tivani

[01:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. Yes. Well, that sounds like a very very bad thing to happen to her maybe

[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we can bring her

[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: To the store to find out what happened. It couldn't be possible that her perfume was burgled

[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's say boy for a second my youngins you probably heard earlier. Yeah, i'll be right back

[01:15:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I am pulling all this shit straight out of my ass just so you guys know

[01:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean

[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, a bespoke perfume is probably the best clue that we've got to go off of

[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and now that I know it's bespoke I can get this guy on our side by saying

[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, obviously it was stolen

[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It we're just trying to fix things. Yeah, clearly we're trying to get this perfume returned to the the lady who deserves it

[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And get justice for the lady who stole it from a justice from the lady who stole it

[01:16:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean after all here we have a cop right here

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, there's a magistrate right there

[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, yo, it's me captain lua albana

[01:16:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry. I missed that

[01:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: What happened what happened? All right, I think I lost audio

[01:16:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so we uh, we've decided um, like we found out that the perfume is bespoke when I said that

[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, okay. I do remember that yeah, that's got all he all pissy and now i'm just like going

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like the moment he said that i'm like, oh I can wake this live work really well

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Because we've got a cop and a barbarian right by us

[01:16:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yeah, you want to be good cop or bad cop?

[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, i'm middle cop. I'm middle man. Yeah, you're middle

[01:16:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say with the fact that you

[01:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Were doing uh scurrilous rumors

[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_00]: on this here

[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, if you've got you've kind of got his confidence in

[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: on this here, I typically

[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh zwan

[01:17:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is something you've kind of you picked up beforehand. He's a person who doesn't like to kiss and tell

[01:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: and uh

[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Normally he wouldn't be comfortable divulging personal information

[01:17:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But he goes out look look I i'm not doing business with her anymore. It is it don't matter

[01:17:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I I don't know exactly where she is, uh where she lives. She's somewhere over world old nobles live

[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But you can catch her tonight

[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: That's she's gonna be at the old opera house. They're putting on she's a singer

[01:17:43] Okay

[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Aha

[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So she is going to be performing in um, what was it? El Pachonello the the

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: town

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yes. Yes, it's it's actually the closing night of it

[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_00]: so ever since it's uh the opera house is uh,

[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_00]: alderhall

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I almost called him branson

[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: He's less annoying than branson actually is my favorite character you've ever created

[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But uh

[01:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So you all know where you all know where it is

[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It's actually uh, it's built on a high on a high proper land in every sink which has stayed a lot for

[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: A bit for a place where the building sinks the foot every 50 years

[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they literally I don't know if you know this gris but they literally have to

[01:18:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they're just building on top of buildings because it's the old ones are just sinking into the swamp. It's like ockmore pork

[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, so

[01:18:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I haven't so we're gonna have to figure out how to get into the opera house and I have an idea

[01:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But we got a few hours to do it's going to take some time which isn't too bad

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Out of character. I am thinking the best move would be for brand to

[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_03]: go to his

[01:19:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh lab

[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And basically create nobility worthy uppers

[01:19:09] Okay

[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Drugs to sell to the to the nobles

[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Then they'll have to talk to me, but they won't be able to help themselves. They'll be all hopped up on math

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[01:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: They'll have to talk to me and like they'll have to listen to me tell them about like my weird cover band while they're just awkwardly

[01:19:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Waiting to pay for things. That's right

[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: with every uh

[01:19:29] [SPEAKER_04]: With every purchase you get a free demo cd

[01:19:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, i've seen this I know exactly what you're doing like when I went to see an mc chris concert in

[01:19:42] [SPEAKER_00]: 2000s the guys that were smoking pot next to me in the show

[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_00]: They were the ones that when I was walking out they were with mc chris behind a van in a parking lot smoking weed

[01:19:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you got drugs, you got a dead. We're in

[01:19:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep

[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And like honestly, I think that's pretty much the only way we'd be able to get co-band into the the uh opera

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That's bring up a good question though. I do have other ways to get into the opera. I mean

[01:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not all just big it's scary and mean I do have charm and command

[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And liars tell

[01:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I can just

[01:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Work my way in just by dressing as a bodyguard convincingly dressing as a bodyguard

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's have to find the world's largest tailor

[01:20:28] [SPEAKER_04]: So we're the world's smallest tailor willing to work on the world's largest man

[01:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: As we uh, so you say you're going back to that you're gonna go back you probably

[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Go me and go back to galdo's place and you're gonna work on your manufacturing

[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Is there something that you wrote to make those or do you just make those?

[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I was thinking sorcery for that

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I will it's a good reason for me to go to the tailor

[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Well in this case i'm i'm thinking sorcery more along the lines of alchemy

[01:21:01] [SPEAKER_03]: More along the lines of like ain't like the protochemistry

[01:21:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so less mystical for me

[01:21:07] [SPEAKER_00]: So what are you what is your carriage would show? What are they doing in this monta?

[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just monta. Are you going back downstairs to the bar or whatnot?

[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_03]: We need to cook put on this yellow jumpsuit

[01:21:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't really have any interest in that

[01:21:23] [SPEAKER_04]: i'm gonna go talk to some uh

[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Watch friends of mine and uh, see if they got a good lead on uh

[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Any missing folks or any folks that have been reported to acting oddly so we can't

[01:21:38] [SPEAKER_00]: you know

[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So we have a beautiful scene of a faceless woman laying on a bed

[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_00]: and meanwhile in the other corner of the room

[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_00]: is a

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Chris is working his magic. There's a candle that's burning. There's a plate of stuff that he holds over top of it

[01:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a tin plate

[01:21:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so that's what an alembic is

[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Like me reading through my half burnt out alchemy book

[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like okay. Okay. I think I got this

[01:22:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh boy open a window

[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Something like something pops, uh in like a glass just blows up next to me

[01:22:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like and I grab my other book with my recipe notes. I'm like nope. Don't do that

[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Dipping glass you ever heard of it?

[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And for those of you at home basically we decided to use benefits of sorcery without it being

[01:22:30] [SPEAKER_00]: You know corrupting magic. That was the best way we thought we could pretty much so

[01:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He can do spirit journeys and have insights and things like that from his drugs, but they're not quite

[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You know a fireball. Yeah

[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So the montage cuts over to the tailor shop

[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You know you have coban standing there looking stunning in his leather

[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You see the uh tape

[01:22:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Like what it's a tape measure what I call the cloth one. Is it got a special name?

[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I just I I think it's still a tape measure. Yeah, I think it's still just tape measure goes around that goes around the bicep

[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't Taylor's eyes gets really big appraising coban

[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know and then we got the rest of the outfit being sewn together. We have uh defonzio

[01:23:15] [SPEAKER_00]: You see talking about the socket about just sauntering around the streets with his hands in his pocket walking up to one guard

[01:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: In another uh, and I'll tell you what I will kind of give you a little bit

[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Here if you don't mind

[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_00]: for this defonzio

[01:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're together that

[01:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: The opera this is actually about the play as opera that what was it called david?

[01:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: well, um

[01:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I said il punchinello

[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, which is a bit of a pun

[01:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Punchinello is punch and judy. Oh sweet. What's it about? So what's what's this opera about?

[01:23:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I keep a very unhappily married couple

[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's uh, it's a comedy

[01:24:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Salsa what are those great slice of life operas that you have

[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Just judy always hits him with a uh frying pan and punch always yells

[01:24:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like it's like uber roi by uh alfred jerry alfred jerry

[01:24:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You do gather that in talking some of the guards have been pulled in

[01:24:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Those have been fortunate enough to get to uh, they weren't able to get tickets

[01:24:24] [SPEAKER_00]: But you know how law enforcement they can get into sporting events and shit like that

[01:24:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh a couple of them are pulling duty because after the opera's final performance and I mean it's been running for

[01:24:34] [SPEAKER_00]: A little you know a month or so now but they're getting ready to do the last show

[01:24:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You know the

[01:24:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Months before the end that there's going to be a really big cast party and there's going to be a lot of up and up people

[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I would suggest this is the last show specifically because um, the opera itself was so controversial

[01:24:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So you're gonna get a lot of important people to see the last

[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh site of a controversial play

[01:24:59] [SPEAKER_00]: There are even people coming in from out outside of ever sink

[01:25:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's royalty that are going to be attending to catch this last performance

[01:25:08] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[01:25:09] [SPEAKER_00]: There's gonna be there's gonna be a police presence or a watch presence if you will

[01:25:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Also, there's gonna be a lot of uh, nobility about uh tickets or

[01:25:19] [SPEAKER_00]: They're sold out. It's like taylor swift shows. They're

[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: like balls

[01:25:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, wait are we saying instead of swifties we have punchinelli's yeah punchinelli's

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh

[01:25:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I think the original judy's probably uh are uh faceless lady in the room

[01:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: well

[01:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Dianara is actually the uh, the the primary female role in it

[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_00]: She's all right. You gather the watch we're talking about how beautiful she was and what a great acting and

[01:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Acting skill she has in vocal range

[01:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: uh

[01:25:56] [SPEAKER_00]: She kind of comes from old money that's been

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: A bit diminished but her career has kind of

[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Kickstarted her family's uh

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Reassent I guess you could say

[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I see

[01:26:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You guys have already answered some of this stuff here

[01:26:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, she's probably gonna be putting a hit on somebody special who shows up to this get this cast party

[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, if if all now is there I would tell you old alfonso to try to find out the the residents of the devalues

[01:26:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I probably should find out where these people live

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa

[01:26:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing. How'd you figure that out?

[01:26:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It seems like a thing a detective would just kind of do or no. Yeah

[01:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I see I struggle with this this particular aspect of it here

[01:26:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Like pretty much if you got the things you get the clues and all that

[01:26:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean obviously i'll give you you you get this information. I'm just trying to decide

[01:26:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, i'll read this up for when we finish to finish it up next session here

[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_04]: But do you uh, so I would imagine that like all the

[01:27:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Important old money noble houses everybody sort of knows where they live

[01:27:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and then once we got a name we were like, oh well, of course

[01:27:13] [SPEAKER_04]: It's that place over on you know, the avenue of flowers or whatever. Yeah

[01:27:20] [SPEAKER_00]: How about we do it like this?

[01:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you that's the guy that lives over on sleazy street

[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I yeah

[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Why don't you?

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Would you be careful making a point spin for that one in just to get that because you're you're you don't have you

[01:27:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't have nobility

[01:27:36] [SPEAKER_04]: and uh

[01:27:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Or do you say no, I don't um, I have

[01:27:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think it's felonious intent

[01:27:44] [SPEAKER_04]: That's probably not laws and traditions

[01:27:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Might be traditions actually. Yeah, it could be traditions. Did you say you had points with the watch?

[01:27:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yeah, I have one point. I say if you're gonna play with the watch and a point with the commoners

[01:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say go ahead if you know with the point with the watch

[01:28:01] [SPEAKER_00]: That yeah, you pretty much you can get that information. All right, i'll spend it

[01:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so yeah, you've got you know where she's at. I have favor. That's where she lives

[01:28:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Well guys, I think it's uh 9 42 right now. Uh, we're going into the

[01:28:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, we just progressed a whole lot further if it if it wouldn't be if it wasn't for the fact

[01:28:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That's getting late. I would say was keep going but

[01:28:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to rush the end of it here. So we pretty much

[01:28:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Went through three acts of this right now sweet

[01:28:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. So get it figured out

[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_03]: We haven't killed anyone yet

[01:28:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So let's do that little question common suggestions what i'm looking for here

[01:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: uh

[01:28:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean what you liked what you didn't like obviously

[01:28:45] [SPEAKER_00]: But i'm looking for like also, you know any kind of advice like uh

[01:28:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I think I need to kind of double check a few of the point spinning rules

[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And whatnot, but uh, what do y'all think?

[01:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh so far so good. Um, yeah loving every minute of it

[01:29:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you. I'm having a lot of fun

[01:29:03] [SPEAKER_03]: um, it may help if

[01:29:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh when you're thinking about your characters that you're gonna bring up in the next episode to put a little more color into them

[01:29:11] [SPEAKER_03]: first

[01:29:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay

[01:29:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you know just a couple of traits that you can think of that could make them interesting or a little complex

[01:29:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But no not a problem. Yeah

[01:29:21] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah, I was

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You guys have went off script from everything I planned to do

[01:29:26] [SPEAKER_03]: As as one does difficult. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of kind of how we do

[01:29:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I did I did set aside today some time to randomly generate names

[01:29:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I said I was going to set aside some time and then

[01:29:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't but okay. Yep. So i'll work i'll work on giving a bit more color

[01:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: To everybody that's invented and uh already in the deal

[01:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: anybody else

[01:29:49] [SPEAKER_04]: How does this time?

[01:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Awesome. So guys, thank you so much. I feel I feel really good about this. I'm looking forward to doing the next session

[01:29:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad to hear it man. This is

[01:30:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I've wanted to do this since

[01:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw that when they posted it, you know pre cut well when covet hit they did the pre-order

[01:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I pre-ordered this just with kevin colt's name on it like i'll buy anything. It's got that man's name on it

[01:30:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I love what he does here in this game

[01:30:18] [SPEAKER_00]: You know it intimidated me a little bit in the beginning

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: because as soon as I got the book and started looking through it i'm like this is not normal gumshoe, but

[01:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It's close enough. Yeah, I like it. It's uh, it's got enough moving pieces. Uh

[01:30:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought combat was very unique by the way

[01:30:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I was expecting a big fist fight or blood and guts on the street and then you all went gondola or out

[01:30:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it had to turn into a race and

[01:30:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it was a real uh italian job

[01:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: If you wanted me to leave chris you could just say so all right
