Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos - The Big Sleep 15

Fighting the women in the cistern was simple. The remainder of the caverns were simple. But the reason as to why there is a hidden door that leads into those caverns that sits in the cellar of King Atrax’s palace is a difficult thing to understand. More answers are needed, and a new plan has been enacted.

We continue The Big Sleep, an adventure in Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos.

Starring 

Cody as Cyrus, a Ghoul Barbarian

Flynn as Mr. Whimples, a Dreamlands Cat

Troy as Cassius, a Triton Paladin

[00:00:16] presents The Big Sleep in Mythos 5, The Adventure.

[00:01:25] Eventually you are presented to the king.

[00:01:29] King Artag.

[00:01:31] He says, I just received your message this morning.

[00:01:39] Here's quite a lot of goings on underground.

[00:01:44] Oh, I'm holding this border.

[00:01:46] Eating a rosh.

[00:01:48] Do me a favor and please let Thomas go.

[00:01:51] Do you trust him?

[00:01:54] Very much so.

[00:01:57] The cult has access to your wine.

[00:02:02] Access how?

[00:02:07] There's a hidden door in the cellar that leads to these underground tunnels.

[00:02:13] He leaves over to a guard and has the guard in the guard disappear, says if they are going to check out.

[00:02:18] What's happening?

[00:02:21] The power was hidden, though.

[00:02:25] Are there smart escards?

[00:02:27] I presume you explained shit.

[00:02:29] I'm just skipping the head.

[00:02:31] Good luck!

[00:02:34] Hopefully we'll have to door open.

[00:02:38] Captain Ray Hack enters.

[00:02:42] Says I heard you've just returned.

[00:02:45] Is everything alright?

[00:02:48] What'd you find?

[00:02:50] That's very Lucas being a guilty NPC.

[00:02:52] I'm just got throw that out there.

[00:02:53] That's very, yeah.

[00:02:56] Hey guys.

[00:02:58] Sting perspective.

[00:03:00] Some Chris.

[00:03:04] Hey, you're exploring some underground passages.

[00:03:06] That's crazy.

[00:03:07] This is weird how that happens.

[00:03:10] 18 on insight.

[00:03:11] I've never been underground before.

[00:03:13] Rollin' it.

[00:03:13] Does he seem concerned or...

[00:03:15] Concerned.

[00:03:19] What?

[00:03:20] Yes.

[00:03:21] Indeed.

[00:03:21] He seems younger.

[00:03:23] Does he...

[00:03:23] I heard what Thomas said him.

[00:03:26] No, he's genuinely curious what you found.

[00:03:32] There's a series of tunnels that connect several buildings in the city

[00:03:38] one being the seller to this palace.

[00:03:42] Connected to the well that we found is being poisoned by the cultists.

[00:03:47] The well, which well.

[00:03:50] Though well.

[00:03:52] There would be multiple wells.

[00:03:52] You guys were in a dredged town.

[00:03:55] So if you were to explain that near the boarding house, even though you're talking about...

[00:04:04] And he kind of goes, oh yes.

[00:04:07] I forgot.

[00:04:08] You had asked for some help.

[00:04:11] The well has been purified.

[00:04:13] So all should be well there.

[00:04:14] That's the well.

[00:04:16] How well is the well at the well?

[00:04:18] Quite well now.

[00:04:19] We did find a door...

[00:04:23] Magicly locked.

[00:04:25] Do you know if someone that might help to unlock this door and we can...

[00:04:29] So the last branch that we've not been able to...

[00:04:34] Go to the rest of it.

[00:04:36] Yeah, that's the word.

[00:04:39] He words better.

[00:04:42] He kind of thinks for a moment.

[00:04:44] He says, we may have some contacts.

[00:04:47] It might take some time.

[00:04:51] Is the fucking king you don't have a fucking major on standby?

[00:04:56] The king kind of struggles and says we have...

[00:04:59] We have no majors on staff.

[00:05:03] Seems...

[00:05:03] Fishing.

[00:05:04] On staff, I get it.

[00:05:06] Get it.

[00:05:07] Bit of a joke there.

[00:05:08] He didn't intend that.

[00:05:10] The cat chuckles.

[00:05:12] Ray hack kind of...

[00:05:15] Strokes is thick mustache.

[00:05:16] Which for some reason I imagine is like a hooking mustache on the way.

[00:05:22] Yep, brother.

[00:05:23] There's actually a picture of minigame and it doesn't have a hooking.

[00:05:25] It's more one of these.

[00:05:26] Oh yeah.

[00:05:27] Oh yeah.

[00:05:29] Danger in the cellar.

[00:05:31] Oh no.

[00:05:31] He kind of says, seems...

[00:05:34] The cultist of being quite busy.

[00:05:37] This is all...

[00:05:38] I'll double all my man.

[00:05:39] It'll also carry precautions.

[00:05:42] Clearly, as we can assume, the cultists have already infiltrated the palace

[00:05:46] and some way should perform.

[00:05:48] They've been raising enough to install us here to do it in the cellar, of course.

[00:05:51] In the church...

[00:05:52] Well, the boarding house is...

[00:05:54] Clensed.

[00:05:56] Uh...

[00:05:56] It was the best way to church.

[00:05:58] I think...

[00:05:59] Mostly.

[00:06:01] We got a move.

[00:06:02] Maybe.

[00:06:04] We're also...

[00:06:05] Does this connect to?

[00:06:08] Uh...

[00:06:08] The random crack then.

[00:06:10] Oh.

[00:06:10] The abandoned home that you found.

[00:06:12] You guys didn't exit the house.

[00:06:13] You actually don't know what part of the city of the city.

[00:06:15] I'm not sure.

[00:06:15] I think I went out for takeout.

[00:06:17] You didn't...

[00:06:19] I don't remember that being a...

[00:06:20] You thought a bunch of wear rats and then he went back down.

[00:06:22] I literally just ended that today.

[00:06:23] I know, but I swear there was a discussion about takeout.

[00:06:26] Because we rested in there because I definitely got my shit back.

[00:06:30] I actually don't...

[00:06:31] Right, thank you, rested in there even.

[00:06:34] I just ended that six hour ago.

[00:06:38] You did a crap job.

[00:06:41] Sorry, good.

[00:06:42] Did we find out if it connected the alchemist shop as well?

[00:06:47] Yeah, yes.

[00:06:48] Yes.

[00:06:48] You found four or five different doorways that exited these tunnels and various parts of the city.

[00:06:53] It was a crack then.

[00:06:54] I thought it was another more important location.

[00:06:59] Did we remember to loot everything else in the place?

[00:07:02] I believe so.

[00:07:03] Because I know we talked about...

[00:07:04] Not a literal crack, cracked in.

[00:07:06] I should stop saying crack then.

[00:07:07] I will show you...

[00:07:08] Because you guys have done this.

[00:07:10] I'm going to cover this one spot.

[00:07:12] See how the map goes through that entire city?

[00:07:18] I believe you.

[00:07:20] Oh, you guys literally traversed underneath the entire city.

[00:07:22] My little miles of fucking corridors.

[00:07:25] And then sent to areas.

[00:07:26] Look out for G.

[00:07:29] So...

[00:07:29] Oh fuck.

[00:07:31] Oh G.

[00:07:33] No G is technically the three way.

[00:07:36] There was a three way, I missed that.

[00:07:38] The main hallway.

[00:07:39] That was the shitty description of the ladies.

[00:07:40] Oh, something is wrong.

[00:07:42] I was.

[00:07:43] Yeah.

[00:07:44] I know.

[00:07:45] But that was the key.

[00:07:46] That door you guys could open yet.

[00:07:48] Oh, I'm coming.

[00:07:49] It's beautiful.

[00:07:50] Number eight.

[00:07:51] It's so much imagine.

[00:07:52] So many major things.

[00:07:53] The cellar.

[00:07:54] I was blocking the other one.

[00:07:56] Most of the magic.

[00:07:57] But it's a decent portion of the city that you guys made a big...

[00:08:01] It's more of a rectangle or trapezoid.

[00:08:03] But yeah, a big circle through.

[00:08:05] So miles and miles of corridor.

[00:08:07] We need to go turn these hands in to somebody.

[00:08:12] One.

[00:08:13] That is something you can do as well.

[00:08:15] And also the other...

[00:08:17] The amulet's.

[00:08:18] Yeah.

[00:08:21] The king kind of says, this is all very troubling news indeed.

[00:08:27] And I'm obviously going to need your help getting into the bottom of this.

[00:08:31] We need to get in that door.

[00:08:33] It says, as this palace outsiders of X-Fanier ideally situated to...

[00:08:38] And this to get my court.

[00:08:41] Perhaps if I hold a feast for a ball...

[00:08:47] Okay, that'll...

[00:08:48] How about a wedding?

[00:08:49] That'll go well!

[00:08:52] Definitely a ball.

[00:08:53] The goal will fit kind of looks at Ray Hack and Ray Hack nods.

[00:08:56] I look.

[00:08:57] I look at them and go...

[00:08:59] Interocation.

[00:09:01] Let's just hold up one bloody hand.

[00:09:04] We don't know why it's bloody.

[00:09:05] But cinematically it looks good.

[00:09:06] The lame shank.

[00:09:08] He kind of nods in agreement to inferent interrogation.

[00:09:12] It says, um...

[00:09:13] Yes, I think...

[00:09:15] I think I'll hold a ball in three days' time.

[00:09:19] Until then...

[00:09:21] Would it be normal for you to spontaneously hold a ball?

[00:09:26] His balls are always bouncing to the left and to the right.

[00:09:30] The people say that his big balls are held every night.

[00:09:35] I need no special occasion to hold a party.

[00:09:38] We hold many parties here.

[00:09:39] That's my point.

[00:09:40] Some are held for charity and some for fancy dress.

[00:09:43] Yes, it was out of the norm to...

[00:09:45] Oh no, no, no.

[00:09:46] Not out of the norm at all.

[00:09:48] Not out of the norm at all.

[00:09:49] When they're held for pleasure, the balls that he likes, but...

[00:09:51] Thank you, mate.

[00:09:51] You know ACDC.

[00:09:54] No, not in the norm at all.

[00:09:56] I hope they can wish or something fancy.

[00:10:00] At this point we'll call it midday.

[00:10:01] You guys did travel quite a little bit.

[00:10:06] So...

[00:10:07] This is...

[00:10:08] What about ball stuff?

[00:10:09] This is...

[00:10:10] You may stay here for the night if you wish.

[00:10:14] Okay, if you have any other duties outside of that castle...

[00:10:20] How long did you take the ball?

[00:10:21] We could get a major on that door.

[00:10:24] We'd like to go through there first before I'm not sure we would have to.

[00:10:28] Well, not only would we have to find a major...

[00:10:34] Maybe able to crack it.

[00:10:37] We would have to...

[00:10:39] Let's say and interview them to ensure that they are...

[00:10:45] What's your greatest wrong side?

[00:10:49] I can't cast arcane log.

[00:10:52] Fuck.

[00:10:53] You fired.

[00:10:56] We'll do what we can.

[00:10:58] Until then, he kind of snaps his fingers.

[00:11:02] And somebody appears with a tray that has...

[00:11:08] For leather pouches on it.

[00:11:12] And he reaches up and grabs one and says...

[00:11:16] 350 to each of you.

[00:11:17] Oh, he's got a fish.

[00:11:19] 350 GP.

[00:11:21] And you may all go up to third level.

[00:11:23] Yes!

[00:11:25] Oh, no!

[00:11:26] We'll just take a short break for you guys to do that.

[00:11:29] It is only 9.30.

[00:11:31] I will present the gold sigils as well as the silver ones.

[00:11:35] Are these more valuable?

[00:11:38] The gold sigils?

[00:11:40] Arbidder is not here. She's the one you have to sell those too.

[00:11:44] So bring them back...

[00:11:46] When she's here, I'll ensure that she's here.

[00:11:50] If you have anything further outside of the palace,

[00:11:54] you may attend to it and return when necessary.

[00:11:58] I think if you guys want to go back to the guy...

[00:12:01] The Abbott or whatever his name was.

[00:12:03] You may end the sigils situation.

[00:12:07] I got some shopping to do.

[00:12:09] There's also a shop in the evening.

[00:12:10] Order to go to the well.

[00:12:12] What's in the bottom of the well?

[00:12:15] Oh, you want to dive in the fucking well now?

[00:12:17] Fuck yeah!

[00:12:18] I don't know how that he's not drugged up.

[00:12:21] I got face to swim, motherfucker.

[00:12:23] Who wrote down all the gemstones?

[00:12:26] You the one who had the party gold, so I guess no one.

[00:12:29] I think it was you.

[00:12:30] At the bottom of the well, you find...

[00:12:33] 47 CP.

[00:12:37] 22 SP.

[00:12:40] And a diamond ring worth 250 gold.

[00:12:44] What was the silver?

[00:12:46] I think it was 25.

[00:12:48] I think it was 25.

[00:12:52] I've converted that.

[00:12:54] 47 CP.

[00:12:55] 22 SP.

[00:12:57] And a diamond ring worth 250, GP.

[00:13:05] I broke down the gems.

[00:13:06] I found them on the other page.

[00:13:08] 839.

[00:13:10] That's total party.

[00:13:11] Not including our reward.

[00:13:13] And stuff you found.

[00:13:15] So, say again.

[00:13:18] 839.

[00:13:20] Not including our reward.

[00:13:22] And the stuff you found at the bottom of the well.

[00:13:24] Everybody take 222 more gold.

[00:13:28] Within this city, I'm going to limit you to one magical item that you can acquire at this level.

[00:13:35] You're not going to find anything super rare here.

[00:13:38] Uncommon and common.

[00:13:38] I think it fairly normal.

[00:13:41] Well, you tell me what you're going to do because I got a lot of different items that I would like to buy.

[00:13:47] Your character, about you.

[00:13:48] With my armor, ring a developmental committee.

[00:13:53] Common and uncommon.

[00:13:55] Common and uncommon is what we're settling for.

[00:13:57] That's all we can get common and uncommon.

[00:13:59] There's not going to be anything super rare.

[00:14:01] You ready?

[00:14:03] You told me you're running the game.

[00:14:05] I'm just making it.

[00:14:06] Is everybody done leveling up?

[00:14:09] Yes. I've been done leveling up for forever.

[00:14:10] Well, some people haven't been.

[00:14:12] I'm just writing in the snow effects that it come up my class.

[00:14:16] You could.

[00:14:16] That's fine.

[00:14:18] Everybody's leveled up to level three. Cody, what's your grab?

[00:14:23] Character or items both.

[00:14:27] Took a second level in my barbarian in game 17 hit points.

[00:14:30] Oh my god.

[00:14:31] Is that low?

[00:14:35] There's a 15 hit point.

[00:14:37] Because I got a nice mega mix to a plus the modifier.

[00:14:39] Okay. I was adding the modifier to the more than once.

[00:14:43] What do you want to do?

[00:14:45] And picked up three javillins of lightning for 200 gold each.

[00:14:49] Everybody leveled up.

[00:14:50] I also bought some items, mostly magical Troy.

[00:14:54] I got my oath.

[00:14:57] Which I'm doing oath of awakening.

[00:15:00] So what's the specifics of that?

[00:15:02] I'm going to make your ass.

[00:15:04] He promises to wake people up on time.

[00:15:08] Yes. I am an alarm clock that's basically.

[00:15:10] Wake me up in time.

[00:15:12] Wake me up.

[00:15:13] You go.

[00:15:15] It's not a bad idea.

[00:15:17] It's not a bad idea.

[00:15:21] Is this bound in his armor?

[00:15:24] It's like banging people in the head.

[00:15:26] Spinning the trite on and around like.

[00:15:28] Like he's in the color guy.

[00:15:33] It's got a flag at the end of it.

[00:15:38] It's essentially

[00:15:41] on a search for knowledge and understanding and

[00:15:48] rooting out.

[00:15:50] Lies and falsehoods.

[00:15:51] That's cool.

[00:15:52] That's cool.

[00:15:53] And I guess we're trying to keep people awake.

[00:16:00] Yeah, they want to sleep.

[00:16:02] Yeah. Two different channel to vanity options.

[00:16:05] Which could be neat.

[00:16:06] He's working for the call flammer at the tank.

[00:16:10] I'm immune to disease now as well.

[00:16:14] And then I.

[00:16:14] It's a shame you got cursed.

[00:16:16] Yeah.

[00:16:17] Plate armor.

[00:16:19] That we had it and I made it.

[00:16:24] And got a methyl plate armor.

[00:16:27] Good look at me.

[00:16:30] I took away of shadow.

[00:16:34] So I'm a sneaky rascal.

[00:16:36] As if you weren't already.

[00:16:37] I can cast spells now, so that's cool.

[00:16:43] What's that?

[00:16:44] What's that?

[00:16:45] I get minor illusion as a can trip.

[00:16:49] And then I can spend key points cast darkness, dark vision, pass without trace or silence.

[00:16:54] There's also like cat things.

[00:16:55] Yes, I don't know, but you get silence.

[00:17:00] Yeah.

[00:17:01] You have money.

[00:17:01] Those are some of the fastball special you into the source of our line.

[00:17:06] Darkness silence.

[00:17:08] And I guess it just appears.

[00:17:10] It's just a bloody fucking mess.

[00:17:12] My item.

[00:17:14] I got an eldritch claw tattoo.

[00:17:17] Right.

[00:17:17] This makes my unarmed attacks at a plus one makes the magical.

[00:17:23] We used to tattoo on your cat.

[00:17:25] Because right now you're there's a bald spot.

[00:17:28] Flash, which is my asshole.

[00:17:32] I think it probably is.

[00:17:34] I think you would have to shave a bit of kitty kitty to get.

[00:17:36] Yeah, tattoo.

[00:17:37] I was going to say the belly like around the nips because I know sometimes that's a very.

[00:17:41] It's a little tree.

[00:17:44] It's a claw but it comes to comes to two fingers just right around one.

[00:17:49] He got a rub. He got a woodstock right on his anus.

[00:17:53] There is something cool that my tattoo does but I'm going to save it for.

[00:17:58] For necessary.

[00:17:59] You know, somebody else who uses claws.

[00:18:01] That's cool.

[00:18:02] We could have went in and got a magic.

[00:18:06] I imagine that.

[00:18:08] I play exposed flesh but just like Flynn I just spread eagle and show mine.

[00:18:15] Alex what did you get?

[00:18:18] I love it.

[00:18:21] I'm just like nearly seven foot tall goal with his raw.

[00:18:25] Jumping out.

[00:18:28] I assume that's how you always look down on them.

[00:18:31] Yeah, you guys think I'm walking around close.

[00:18:35] This is.

[00:18:36] Usually the one who laughs.

[00:18:42] So at my level three, I ended up selecting the artificial specialty of the armor,

[00:18:48] which changes my armor into our cane armor,

[00:18:54] which allows it to transform between two types.

[00:18:57] The guardian or the infiltrator.

[00:19:03] Is that like an at will or is like an action to swap it or something?

[00:19:09] And what are the differences I guess?

[00:19:11] Anytime I take a short rest I can switch it.

[00:19:14] I can't do it.

[00:19:16] Yeah, that's what I want to make sure.

[00:19:19] Each one of them also has their own specialties.

[00:19:22] I think I'll talk about that more in depth as they become relevant.

[00:19:25] I don't take up too much time.

[00:19:27] I also went out and bought a gem worth 100 gold,

[00:19:33] which became the core of my amunculus servant,

[00:19:36] which is a little assistant.

[00:19:39] Doesn't have much HP but it does have a vision as well as long distance tax.

[00:19:45] Did you name him?

[00:19:47] Hmm.

[00:19:49] I don't know what he's doing.

[00:19:50] But it is a mechanical drag.

[00:19:52] It's a mechanical drag.

[00:19:55] Okay.

[00:19:55] So mechanical drag.

[00:19:58] And basically if it dies, it leaves its core behind and I can remake it from that core

[00:20:05] as long as I have a short rest.

[00:20:09] I also was able to make my musket, which gives me a 1d12,

[00:20:15] plus my attack bonus there.

[00:20:18] And then I activated the barps or spell repeater.

[00:20:21] So now it has the ability to automatically reload ammo,

[00:20:27] which is also magical.

[00:20:28] So that increases the damage and my attack bonus is a plus six on it.

[00:20:33] Nice.

[00:20:35] Well, then that the magical item I bought,

[00:20:39] I didn't make is a pair of boots of spider clots.

[00:20:44] Slippers of spider glimps.

[00:20:47] I think it's slippers of spider walking, is what they're called.

[00:20:49] I'm going to just call it boots of spider climbing,

[00:20:51] which allows me to move up vertical slopes at my movement speed and hang upside down with my hands free.

[00:20:59] What's the mutant in the savage lands?

[00:21:05] The guy that turns into like the terror actle.

[00:21:07] It's our own.

[00:21:08] Souron?

[00:21:09] It's potential.

[00:21:10] I don't know if you're familiar with the X-Men show or any of that, but oh, I did forget.

[00:21:14] I did get two new spells too.

[00:21:17] I don't count towards my total magic missile and thunder wave.

[00:21:20] Nice.

[00:21:22] Do you get any more infusions?

[00:21:24] Not yet.

[00:21:25] I don't get another infusion until you need to be put in like,

[00:21:33] I wonder if you can do that.

[00:21:35] Level six.

[00:21:37] He would be deadly with like the iron guardian or whatever that shurder had.

[00:21:44] Imagine having that thing run in with thunder wave on it or something.

[00:21:49] So acquiring some of these items, perhaps enchanting some of these items probably would have taken a good day to two days.

[00:21:55] Yeah, there is we set up your red wet here.

[00:21:59] So you guys have I would say roughly 24 hours before the ball and you get a summons from King A tracks to return to the palace for a quick discussion.

[00:22:20] Hi.

[00:22:24] Do we want to turn in our hands first?

[00:22:28] Oh, yeah, if you guys want to go back and do that, we can do that in the time.

[00:22:32] In between wall things are being made and we're here.

[00:22:34] Are we getting money? We're getting information.

[00:22:37] Information.

[00:22:38] Information.

[00:22:43] Good guy. Let me go back to chapter one.

[00:22:46] I am number two.

[00:22:48] You are number six.

[00:22:51] I'm not a number.

[00:22:52] Number two, work for.

[00:22:55] I'm a free man.

[00:22:56] What did you get to watch all of that now?

[00:22:59] I watched part of it and got really into it and then I haven't watched it.

[00:23:02] I was like half of it.

[00:23:04] So you already turned into the Abby.

[00:23:07] Da, Abby normal.

[00:23:10] Abby normal.

[00:23:11] That was the name of Josh's skull and he had a skull that he talked to when we played more work for the first time.

[00:23:22] Abby cadabby, you could do that one too.

[00:23:28] Father Yoke, as the individual you were looking for.

[00:23:33] Initially he gave you a little bit of backstory

[00:23:36] of the 400 year old empire.

[00:23:40] And the green monks, the sleeper and all the individuals who were slain at the time.

[00:23:49] He asked you to return to him with five hands bound with five.

[00:23:57] Some, uh, visuals of the Sathaguah in the palm.

[00:24:01] I think we got more than that but we do have at least five.

[00:24:04] Yeah, five as all you need.

[00:24:08] One, two, three, four, five, everybody.

[00:24:15] He says, ah, you've returned.

[00:24:17] Do you have the necessary items?

[00:24:24] Please come with me.

[00:24:25] He brings you into a room.

[00:24:27] Um, not the floor is a, a, a, a, a, a schedule and these sort of five areas.

[00:24:36] And he places each hand,

[00:24:39] bound with the schedule inside in each spot.

[00:24:43] And he begins to chant and performs this ritual and each hand goes up in flames.

[00:24:52] And it disagrees into nothingness.

[00:24:54] Sure, he's a good guy.

[00:24:57] Um, and he says, uh,

[00:25:02] he says each of you have, you know, you have each done a kindness.

[00:25:10] And I have completed a day, I have completed the ritual to enter the Sathaguah order.

[00:25:17] A Sathaguah order?

[00:25:19] Yes. If I could speak properly.

[00:25:21] Okay, so Derek order. And he says, please come with me.

[00:25:29] He brings you down another pathway to a large tapestry.

[00:25:35] Um, it's an outer way, quarter out of the way corner of the Abbey pulls the tapestry away from the wall.

[00:25:41] And it pulls a key on a chain out from under a shirt and any unlocks the door.

[00:25:50] The key inserts into a crack in the stone with a click, the latch, the grinding of gears, the wall opens through a small cell,

[00:25:55] and then iron bound chest bolted to the floor.

[00:26:00] And a bear wouldn't let turn.

[00:26:02] The floor is inscribed with a strange symbol, an irregular pentagram with an compound circle.

[00:26:11] It's a compound circle.

[00:26:16] Just what it says, but...

[00:26:18] You know, you know, a compound one.

[00:26:21] It's different from, I don't know, a convex circle.

[00:26:27] Don't you draw for a living?

[00:26:30] I don't know, the fucking circle.

[00:26:33] Circle but crazier.

[00:26:35] And then he sort of tucks the key back into a shirt.

[00:26:40] Who's got yokes at the authory?

[00:26:43] Those with it may roll.

[00:26:46] I'm too busy Googling what the fuck a compound circle is.

[00:26:48] Or are conny if you don't have a yokes at the authory?

[00:26:52] 18?

[00:26:55] 18.

[00:26:57] 19.

[00:26:58] Hey, I did good, but I don't think I got that.

[00:27:01] So show off.

[00:27:03] What did you get?

[00:27:04] I don't know, I'm Googling compound circle.

[00:27:07] Just because now people being acquiring mines want to know, like mine.

[00:27:13] My yokes at the authory is 17.

[00:27:15] Still good enough.

[00:27:17] 9 on our conner.

[00:27:18] So three out of the four of you realize that this is an elder sign.

[00:27:22] And it's a word against elder to beans.

[00:27:26] Outer to beans.

[00:27:31] He walks you in and he pops over the chest and you see the chest is full of books.

[00:27:35] Each one bound and iron and chain to the inside of the chest.

[00:27:40] The change are just long enough for each book that can be removed and placed on a lectern.

[00:27:45] No further.

[00:27:47] He pulls out two books.

[00:27:50] One labeled the necotic manuscripts.

[00:27:57] And one labeled.

[00:27:58] God, that cannot pronounce this but I'm going to go.

[00:28:01] Are you going to go East?

[00:28:02] Nope, it's very Dave or Miss Mysterious.

[00:28:04] Very German.

[00:28:06] Von unespecting lecine Colton.

[00:28:10] The first of which the necotic manuscripts is richly illustrated with strange beasts and scenes of battles between

[00:28:16] Claude snails and winged squid.

[00:28:19] The second is a densely packed and black letter text and gruesome with gruesome wood cuts of torture and profane rights.

[00:28:28] He says, sure is a good guy right.

[00:28:31] I believe as do many of my colleagues in the order that the sleeper is not that it's a stethogua.

[00:28:39] I'm quite sure that you have figured this out as well.

[00:28:44] He is a primal deity of the darker age.

[00:28:46] Stag was mentioned here in the necotic manuscripts as a sonbring to like God that ancient peoples made sacrifices to.

[00:28:53] The black book, which he points to the other.

[00:28:58] Tom says, describes the cult of St. Agua as a secretive murder and murderous sacrifice in victims and underground chambers.

[00:29:07] He says that these books are dense and difficult to read.

[00:29:13] And he would be happy to use them in your investigation.

[00:29:17] He says you can seek me out here in the abbey any time.

[00:29:20] You can look at them here in the secret library.

[00:29:25] Super, I'll supervise your research as much as I can.

[00:29:30] He says that there are other outposts of the esoteric order of the candle.

[00:29:34] That might have access to additional useful text.

[00:29:37] Yes, you have joined the esoteric order of the candle by performing this ritual.

[00:29:42] This was one of the three or four options I believe at character creation.

[00:29:46] And you could have enjoyed the character you didn't use was already part of.

[00:29:55] Yes, and fact there is a call in response for it.

[00:30:00] What do you do in the exterminators later?

[00:30:04] I mean, one that they do on the RPPR.

[00:30:08] Oh, that's their call in response. What do you do in the exterminators later?

[00:30:11] The call in the house down.

[00:30:12] The call is the smallest flame turns back the darkness.

[00:30:18] The response is what is seen cannot be unseen.

[00:30:24] The right that should be something right down.

[00:30:26] He's already decided he's going to decide to venture into another order's domain.

[00:30:35] The smallest flame.

[00:30:39] The smallest flame turns back the darkness.

[00:30:45] The response is, what is seen cannot be unseen.

[00:30:56] Side note. Does this guy by chance know how to open magical locks?

[00:31:00] He does not.

[00:31:02] So useless.

[00:31:09] So that's what the red death is going to flow out of in the middle of the mask party.

[00:31:14] You may, you drink and be married.

[00:31:22] Yeah, pretty much. You can research the texts.

[00:31:25] There are dread roles. However, within the confines of this room, you do have advantage against them.

[00:31:35] For reading the texts.

[00:31:37] Oh, somebody's got read the text. Well, you got to read the text.

[00:31:40] By the way, to those who were curious, the best I could find is compound shapes or shapes that can be split into two or more shapes.

[00:31:47] Cool.

[00:31:48] The compound circle is a venn diagram.

[00:31:52] That's what they're with items and they're with sound like more of a venn diagram.

[00:31:56] A circle made of triangles.

[00:32:01] So you have, say, advantage on saving throws against dread, which is a wisdom saving throw when researching the texts.

[00:32:10] Characters successfully researching the necotic manuscripts learned this and researching the other one.

[00:32:19] Let me go to 132 and the core book, which describes how to research texts.

[00:32:31] So the one is the, the one is the cult book and the other is the necotic manuscripts.

[00:32:38] Yeah, it's their diverse spec and cult in or something.

[00:32:46] 160.

[00:32:49] The one is the one.

[00:32:50] Devarmas mysterious, one three, the cult, the girl is an other one.

[00:32:57] Agent terms of lore and the various translations.

[00:33:01] Then versions are a core theme, read the mythos, these text are made sure it's a power blah blah blah.

[00:33:07] It can also be as a threat.

[00:33:11] Information they provide can boost a person's knowledge of yox at the authory, but it also tends to destroy the reader's sanity and grip her reality.

[00:33:18] Comprehending the nuances of one of these texts is a challenging process of research that uses the following rules.

[00:33:24] Every mythos book has an ability check DC which represents the,

[00:33:29] intricacy and confusing nature of the book content books contents and a save DC which reflects the dangers of investigating the topics in the books for a more remind.

[00:33:39] The research specific two research as specific topic or question within a book.

[00:33:44] You must succeed in ability check using one of the skills or tools listed in the books entry.

[00:33:48] Each book also has a minimum DC for ability checks using that book.

[00:33:53] If an ability check is to learn or recall information with a higher DC use the higher DC.

[00:34:00] Attempting an ability check to research a text requires an un-wrapped interrupted eight hour period of research, which can't be better than it.

[00:34:07] Look at the loop.

[00:34:10] Which can't be made as a passive check each eight hour period of research in the same question grants a cumulative plus one bonus to the ability check.

[00:34:18] If you stop researching and give in topic in the same book for 30 days or more, you may lose your relevant bonuses.

[00:34:24] Gain for research in that book thus far.

[00:34:27] One additional character can use the help action to assist a primary researcher if both characters have their own copies of the text.

[00:34:37] You must assist for eight hours to grant primary researcher advantage.

[00:34:42] succeeded in that ability check to research reveals facts as normal for a successful ability check this information might be incomplete or misleading or simply revealed that this book lacks the information.

[00:34:54] But that another book has it as appropriate for the topic in the text in question.

[00:34:59] For every five points by which the ability check exceeds the DC.

[00:35:04] For the details on the topic if any are revealed.

[00:35:07] The researcher rolls a 20 on the D20 for the ability check in the additional relevant factors revealed.

[00:35:13] Conversely if the researcher rolls a one on the D20 for the ability check, the check is automatically a failure and any dread resulting from the research check increases by a level if the researchers saving throw fails.

[00:35:25] I who's reading it.

[00:35:27] I don't know.

[00:35:29] We can't not read it. So if the barbarian has to read it, the barbarian will read it.

[00:35:34] What's the role?

[00:35:35] Yeah, it's wisdom saving throw.

[00:35:37] Well, it's a wisdom saving throw for dread however each text is specific and each text is listed in here.

[00:35:46] You know there's things like book a dies on book of have run.

[00:35:50] I'm on.

[00:35:51] I'm on. I've read. I've read. I've run.

[00:35:54] It's book of I bond. Yeah, I be a salino flag man. Scriptical books on King and yellow.

[00:36:02] Neckon, I'm a con.

[00:36:05] Rally egg text.

[00:36:07] It's not a few tablets.

[00:36:10] Um, newmatic.

[00:36:12] A cinematic. The newmatic manuscripts. Newcut the neckonic made.

[00:36:23] The ability check DC is pretty high.

[00:36:27] Ability checks.

[00:36:29] Arcana history nature or yoxatothry.

[00:36:32] I have yog. I'll serve a decent wisdom throw.

[00:36:36] I have yog for my the other is flat.

[00:36:42] The other ability check for the other book is slightly higher.

[00:36:46] It's also Arcana or religion yoxatothry.

[00:36:52] For the. Clip and book. Funk open.

[00:36:56] Already the the monster manual.

[00:36:58] The neckonic made.

[00:37:01] Okay, you know what the neckonic manuscripts are.

[00:37:03] It's come up in multiple. DG.

[00:37:05] I've heard it. It's basically a BC here.

[00:37:09] Yeah, no. It's.

[00:37:10] Well, the way that's described in here.

[00:37:11] Does your character have any interest in read interesting?

[00:37:14] Oh, I have a decent Arcana. So here's that.

[00:37:18] Jesus.

[00:37:22] I was just looking for a name for my construct.

[00:37:27] It's fine around a name generator.

[00:37:30] I can bless three people so I can boost.

[00:37:35] Well, I were chances of getting the saving throw.

[00:37:37] No, no, I think that it depends on if the person someone should be reading and someone should be aiding.

[00:37:43] And I think there's probably some fucking wakery with the person aiding.

[00:37:47] So I would definitely bless the to the person aiding.

[00:37:51] Because only one person can this basically the person aiding has to have their own copy.

[00:37:57] According to the rules of the.

[00:37:59] I guess I didn't understand that.

[00:38:02] Well, if it's a checks thing doesn't guide and supply to that.

[00:38:09] I mean, God, he could still cast bless and guidance.

[00:38:12] But normally a lot of times when you when you do an action someone can aid you.

[00:38:15] Someone can basically give you advantage on it.

[00:38:19] I heard him read aid, but I didn't I missed the part about the second copy. So that's my fault. I've walked this an additional character can use the help action to assist if both.

[00:38:28] If both characters have their own copies of the tech that's the part that I've missed.

[00:38:32] So give bless and guidance to one character who reads one book.

[00:38:37] Let's see what happens.

[00:38:38] I'll do the monster menu.

[00:38:39] I can do up to three people.

[00:38:42] But there's only two books.

[00:38:44] Mine's a can trip. I can just keep it.

[00:38:51] I can't imagine that there's enough space for two people to read two books at this.

[00:38:56] Like, just feel like one person could read at the lectern while the other person reads at the.

[00:39:01] At the chest. I mean, you can put it on before you can both read the turn each of you can read a book at the same time. That's fine.

[00:39:09] Either way, each of you are still spending eight hours to do so.

[00:39:12] Yeah.

[00:39:13] Because I'm more likely to fail.

[00:39:17] I'm more likely to fail than Flynn because I will not make a wisdom saving throw.

[00:39:23] So wisdom is one of my weaker ones.

[00:39:26] Well, the wisdom saving throw is only for the dread right.

[00:39:29] The ability check is different. That is for six evening on reading the book.

[00:39:33] Yeah. No. I have a plus four in your ex-authory. So I would roll on your ex-authory.

[00:39:38] The only thing I'm not understanding is why they're giving you pluses here.

[00:39:42] Like, it says ability checks and then gives you plus two to our account.

[00:39:45] Plus two to history plus two to nature plus two to the ex-authory.

[00:39:50] Yeah. Because that's not our location.

[00:39:52] No. This is actually in the research part of the core book, not where you're standing.

[00:39:58] So I'm not going to understand why it's giving you a plus.

[00:40:01] Is that after you read it?

[00:40:03] Ability check bonus. Okay. Hang on.

[00:40:05] Do you do the depth and complexity of this content?

[00:40:09] Each of these books grants a bonus on the ability checks.

[00:40:12] Okay. So you will get the bonus on your rule that is listed here.

[00:40:17] So not only do you have a plus two, use it plus forty yogs.

[00:40:20] Plus four. Yeah. You're going to get an extra plus three.

[00:40:24] Oh. Okay. So I'm rolling on a plus seven according to the rules.

[00:40:30] You get that plus read in the book. It says for reading the book.

[00:40:35] You do the depth and complexity of this content.

[00:40:37] No. It's not. Each of read the book for reading the book.

[00:40:41] Yeah. It's a bonus for writing.

[00:40:43] Each of these books grants a bonus on all ability checks made to research that book, including four

[00:40:50] Miller rituals, which no one of you are doing.

[00:40:53] When successfully researched, it texts or also provides useful clues related to the topics.

[00:40:58] So yeah. You are getting, you're going to read the book and then roll the ability check.

[00:41:05] Your plus plus there plus no.

[00:41:12] You read the book and then you get the plus like you get,

[00:41:20] it's said in there, you get a plus after reading the book.

[00:41:24] And you have to essentially keep reading the book to maintain that, but that it is exactly what kind of interval.

[00:41:30] Do to the depth and complexity of this content. Each of these books grants a bonus on all ability checks made to research that book,

[00:41:38] including four Miller rituals within which we're not doing for me rituals.

[00:41:44] Yeah. That doesn't make sense.

[00:41:45] I think that's what I see while you're interpreting that way. It just doesn't make sense.

[00:41:49] That you would get the extra plus.

[00:41:51] Yeah. Before you ever read the book. Like why would they give you a plus instead of just lowering the DC?

[00:41:56] The way it sounds from what you're reading.

[00:41:58] Well, we haven't done this yet. But my guess is that you probably like it's not going to be I roll. I get whatever.

[00:42:06] I get all the information of the book. I assume I have to go back over and over and over again to get multiple pieces for me.

[00:42:12] That's what it does specify.

[00:42:15] I'm asking. Do I get, is it a one and done? I get all the information or is it?

[00:42:19] If you roll the net 20 you get basically everything.

[00:42:24] Five over the DC you get an extra thing. So you're going to get one thing that's why you get five over the,

[00:42:29] Yeah, I would say probably what happens is I roll the first time I get a piece of information.

[00:42:34] Okay. The next time I encounter that book which may or may not be the same version or I go back to this version.

[00:42:40] Now I'm going to get an extra three when researching just this book.

[00:42:45] Right. Because one of the big things that and even mentioned in the book, one of the big things in katulu games and mythos is that nobody has different copies.

[00:42:54] So like you might read the necotic manuscripts here, but we might find another copy later.

[00:42:59] But because you read this one, you would get a bonus to reading that one.

[00:43:02] You want to understand it. I mean, you want to read the ability check thing is here.

[00:43:06] Well, just to me it reads is if you get that extra bonus because otherwise you're not going to reach a 23 DC to read that book.

[00:43:15] One of those two books is a 23 DC.

[00:43:18] You're not going to get that off of your base plus two more likely.

[00:43:22] So why would you not? It just says to research that specific book you get a bonus three.

[00:43:26] Oh no, hold on. I think you're reading that wrong.

[00:43:30] I think it's because the complexity of it what you use to check it gets a bonus after you're done reading it.

[00:43:37] But you don't really believe it. I can tell you don't read it.

[00:43:41] So if you succeed, you get a bonus to that skill.

[00:43:45] That's not what it says. You don't succeed in the check to get the bonus. You get the bonus to succeed in the check.

[00:43:52] You get the bonus to research it.

[00:43:55] Which is the ability check.

[00:43:56] It doesn't make any sense. Why give you a bonus to read it and also set a DC high like just those cancel each other out.

[00:44:06] You're giving me a plus thing.

[00:44:07] Well, I just make it a 20.

[00:44:09] Call Sandy Peterson.

[00:44:10] I don't know because if you're not part of it is we haven't done this yet.

[00:44:15] And now this is the first time. So yeah, no, now that I'm reading it, I'd like I can.

[00:44:20] Okay.

[00:44:21] Yeah, I don't want to read too much because I don't want to spoil all of it for me.

[00:44:27] So so you're not spoiling anything by reading how to do it.

[00:44:31] No, but I like part of it is I need to look and see what the checks are because if the checks are 15 then this is ridiculous.

[00:44:36] But I know the DCs are over 20 on both of these books. I'm telling you right now.

[00:44:39] No, but as I'm flipping through, the DCs get much higher.

[00:44:42] Yeah, depending on what book it is.

[00:44:45] Okay, which is why I don't understand why you wouldn't get that plus to it because I think it's going to make it much less likely that you're going to succeed on that DC.

[00:44:55] If you don't have that.

[00:44:57] Oh, yes, the point though it's supposed to be hard.

[00:45:00] Sure.

[00:45:02] Sure. Yes.

[00:45:03] Because EDHR period of research on the same question grants a cumulative plus one bonus.

[00:45:07] So every eight hour period you put in you get plus one towards getting your answer, right?

[00:45:12] Well, he's very, very useless of whether or not the checks exceeds each reader must make a saving throw against threat. So every time you research a rolling against threat, right?

[00:45:21] Once you succeed on an ability check to research the text, you gain the ability to use the listed bonus on one other ability check with that skill.

[00:45:32] It's bonus information.

[00:45:35] So I'm not going to say what the book title is, but it has an ability check of 20.

[00:45:41] It has ability checks plus to our con of plus two yogs authory and has a save DC of 15.

[00:45:48] So once you make that, let's say you make that 20 within the next 30 days, you get a plus two bonus to our con of or plus two bonus to yogs authory on that book to research it again.

[00:46:00] You gain the ability to use the listed bonus on one other ability check with that skill.

[00:46:06] Okay. You can choose to apply the bonus after rolling the ability doesn't specify that it's with the book because I read.

[00:46:13] But the first paragraph specifies it's two research the book.

[00:46:17] Due to the deathflink complexity of content, each of these gore scrants a bonus on all ability checks made to research that book.

[00:46:23] Two research that book. It's a plus two research that book.

[00:46:29] Right.

[00:46:29] Not a random yogs authory roll. It's four of that books.

[00:46:33] So the three research takes all the provides use for clues related topics.

[00:46:39] So basically your first roll is based off of your yogs authory bonus.

[00:46:43] Correct.

[00:46:44] A secondary eight hour period, you get the extra bonus within 30 days.

[00:46:50] Two research that book.

[00:46:52] Based on that first paragraph.

[00:46:55] Well, we see we don't know anything about formula rituals.

[00:46:57] No, it's not a lot of times it could be a little bit more.

[00:47:00] That's still learning you.

[00:47:01] It was some books have formula rituals.

[00:47:03] Right. What I'm saying is that most of the time when you play a through the game, including other catholic games at Sandy Petersen has made,

[00:47:08] you read the book. You get the information.

[00:47:11] But then you have to learn the spells.

[00:47:13] So that extra bonus probably comes in learning formula.

[00:47:18] Or extra information.

[00:47:19] Yes. If that's the case, then eight hours will pass while you read one book and you read the other.

[00:47:24] I don't know why I read it. But here we go.

[00:47:26] You don't have to.

[00:47:28] You don't have to.

[00:47:28] I'm just saying they're that, you know, way I'm making the fucking saves probably.

[00:47:33] I would like to take the easier one personally, but.

[00:47:36] You take these are one.

[00:47:37] He's going to guidance.

[00:47:39] Sure.

[00:47:40] So you get a a d4 to your.

[00:47:43] To ability check and I'm blessing you to get a d4 on your save.

[00:47:47] I don't know.

[00:47:48] We'll do that.

[00:47:49] You want to do me first or do you first?

[00:47:51] You'll see how close.

[00:47:52] All right.

[00:47:53] So are you taking the card instead then?

[00:47:54] Which everyone's the easiest?

[00:47:55] It is the lower DC.

[00:47:56] Okay. We're going to met a game then yes.

[00:47:59] Okay. Ready?

[00:48:00] Sure.

[00:48:00] So on the check.

[00:48:03] I presume you'll exit the authory.

[00:48:06] Our conne history nature, yokes at the authory, whichever is your highest.

[00:48:09] Yes.

[00:48:10] I get 15.

[00:48:11] Has your total?

[00:48:12] Yeah.

[00:48:13] That is a fail.

[00:48:14] Okay.

[00:48:15] But I would get a plus one if I checked again.

[00:48:17] So I would get one more.

[00:48:19] If within the next 30 days, I'll read that text again because I've already done eight hours of it.

[00:48:23] You have to spend on that.

[00:48:24] So there's no bonus other than yokes at the authory at this point.

[00:48:29] Well, yokes as authory just says highest.

[00:48:31] Yeah.

[00:48:31] We all cause a thought that he's my best.

[00:48:32] But we mix the whole plus three or whatever.

[00:48:35] No, that because it's so dense you learn so much shit that gives you a bonus.

[00:48:40] The next time.

[00:48:41] Well, you've right.

[00:48:42] That's where we're like it gives you a bonus.

[00:48:44] To me, it reads the basically the next time I roll yokes the thought three within the

[00:48:48] next 30 days.

[00:48:48] I can go.

[00:48:53] Okay.

[00:48:55] All right.

[00:48:56] So now you need me to make a safe.

[00:48:57] Well, wisdom saving through you.

[00:49:01] That is a not one.

[00:49:03] No.

[00:49:04] So that is a total of real bad shit.

[00:49:12] Does it tell me what the dread is on the book?

[00:49:15] It doesn't tell.

[00:49:18] Total six.

[00:49:21] Hmm.

[00:49:22] To tell you what the saved is, but it doesn't know what to tell you how much dread you gained.

[00:49:27] I guess you just mean one then.

[00:49:29] Woo!

[00:49:30] No, it says something when you roll a curtain one you gain double I think.

[00:49:33] Oh, the acidity that you gained two levels of dread you're correct.

[00:49:37] Two levels of dread for failing this, which isn't the worst, but isn't great either.

[00:49:43] I got a spooky.

[00:49:46] Um, you see you slightly higher than his was.

[00:49:49] If you like to roll on Vaughan, who knows, Sprek, like in a curtain.

[00:49:56] 12.

[00:49:58] Well, that's not a 23.

[00:49:59] So that's a fail.

[00:50:00] That's even with your bonus.

[00:50:03] Wasn't a good roll.

[00:50:07] And that is a 17.

[00:50:12] Well, say 17's the DC.

[00:50:14] Oh, okay.

[00:50:16] So this is going to be harder to hit than we think.

[00:50:19] Yes, like I think 20's probably on the low end.

[00:50:22] Yeah.

[00:50:23] Uh, yeah, going through here there's one book at 18 DC.

[00:50:29] I'm going to measure their high that's what they're doing.

[00:50:31] Yeah.

[00:50:31] But the idea is you keep going back and reading them and going more and more and saying the opportunity to learn.

[00:50:35] Exactly.

[00:50:37] It's it's for the opportunity to learn more information about specifically the thago and the cult.

[00:50:42] So.

[00:50:44] But you are now also all part of the esoteric order of the candle.

[00:50:48] You can come back here anytime you wish or you can visit other esoteric and esoteric.

[00:50:55] I don't know what's the word I'm looking for.

[00:50:58] Holds.

[00:50:59] I don't know.

[00:51:00] Beeros.

[00:51:01] Beeros.

[00:51:02] I've been playing as I was in the grid.

[00:51:03] So I guess there beeros.

[00:51:04] I don't know.

[00:51:06] So those things exist.

[00:51:11] Yeah, so you did not succeed.

[00:51:12] So that's okay.

[00:51:16] If you'd like to spend another eight hours of you may or you can move on.

[00:51:20] Probably not because we were summoned by the king, so probably don't want to fuck off too long.

[00:51:25] You will meet with the start of chapter three to dread already.

[00:51:28] Can we meet with the arbiter first?

[00:51:30] The arbiter of truth?

[00:51:32] You can meet with the arbiter?

[00:51:33] Yeah.

[00:51:34] Are the gold sigils worth more?

[00:51:37] She will give you.

[00:51:40] 25 for the gold and 15 for the silver.

[00:51:44] So you've got 25 gold, it's 300 and gold.

[00:51:49] And that method I'm going to work right now for me.

[00:51:52] So I believe it was 15 for the silver.

[00:51:55] So 195 for the silver.

[00:51:58] So 395 altogether.

[00:51:59] 495 altogether.

[00:52:00] Nice.

[00:52:01] To go into the part of the gold?

[00:52:03] Not bad.

[00:52:05] So most of the 125 piece.

[00:52:07] Take it.

[00:52:10] You're.

[00:52:13] I saw this shit.

[00:52:15] Do we get anything for robes?

[00:52:17] No.

[00:52:18] Robes were not listed.

[00:52:20] Pairs.

[00:52:21] Things to collect.

[00:52:23] Or game gold for.

[00:52:25] People that sat out of here.

[00:52:27] What do you got stuck?

[00:52:29] Yeah, that's what that.

[00:52:30] That's the definition of a stickkey note.

[00:52:33] I mean, that's been crushed in that book for three months.

[00:52:42] So you meet with not only the king, but.

[00:52:47] The guard captain Ray hack and we'll just say the arbiter right hard as there as well as you gain your gold.

[00:52:56] And the king king.

[00:53:00] H. X. as we are.

[00:53:03] Prep in the run our.

[00:53:05] I party tomorrow.

[00:53:06] I just wanted to run down with you the individuals that we have on their guest list.

[00:53:14] Perhaps important people you can investigate, watch.

[00:53:21] And decide whether or not you feel as if they are.

[00:53:26] Infiltrators part of the cold perhaps.

[00:53:29] Or we get you to kill each person.

[00:53:33] That would solve the problem.

[00:53:35] Scorched earth policy.

[00:53:36] Uh, myself as well as King Selena will be there.

[00:53:40] King who there's two kings?

[00:53:42] Sorry, Queen Selena.

[00:53:43] I cannot.

[00:53:44] Queen Selena.

[00:53:44] I mean, not not to judge.

[00:53:47] Your royal.

[00:53:48] It's fair point.

[00:53:49] Our taxor.

[00:53:49] World War.

[00:53:50] World War, podcast.

[00:53:51] And just to just look confused there.

[00:53:54] I'm like we're inviting other kings because I didn't realize that there were inter royal politics.

[00:54:00] So I got you.

[00:54:01] Myself and Queen Selena will be there.

[00:54:04] Uh, guard captain Ray hack.

[00:54:07] Of course.

[00:54:08] Arbiter, Rinehart.

[00:54:09] I'm sure it will be around to patrol.

[00:54:12] Our guest of honor will be Lord Mayor Victor Ivana.

[00:54:15] About a lot of us.

[00:54:18] Chamberlain and doors.

[00:54:20] Fricen.

[00:54:22] FRIES Ian.

[00:54:24] Steward.

[00:54:25] Sandro Buel.

[00:54:26] B.U.H.L.

[00:54:28] Um, I was correct by the way.

[00:54:29] His name is Thomas.

[00:54:31] The seller.

[00:54:33] Thomas the seller.

[00:54:35] Seller is his title.

[00:54:37] He's the seller.

[00:54:38] Not the seller.

[00:54:39] Is not the seller.

[00:54:39] No, the seller.

[00:54:41] A seller on.

[00:54:43] Thomas seller.

[00:54:44] Master.

[00:54:44] Seller master makes more sense.

[00:54:46] But he called there.

[00:54:47] He is called a seller.

[00:54:48] Uh, Thomas press and rise.

[00:54:52] PRES.

[00:54:53] N R E I S.

[00:54:54] That is the individual you met in the seller.

[00:54:57] Who brought you up to the king?

[00:54:59] Definite trader.

[00:55:00] Um, our royal archenist.

[00:55:03] Emis Mese.

[00:55:05] Emis E I.

[00:55:06] KELOM.

[00:55:07] Trade.

[00:55:08] Emis is E.M. E.S. E.

[00:55:09] Emis.

[00:55:10] Emis E.

[00:55:11] Of course the chief housekeeper.

[00:55:14] Sovi.

[00:55:15] Bed.

[00:55:16] Bed Narova.

[00:55:18] And if you happen to find him wanted around our master of mice.

[00:55:23] Grimalkin.

[00:55:24] Our cat.

[00:55:28] I'll investigate that master.

[00:55:30] Of course there's other house helping him in a corner later.

[00:55:34] Of course there are other.

[00:55:36] A challenging dominance.

[00:55:38] Of course there are other household staff.

[00:55:41] Our master of kitchens.

[00:55:43] Bozina Minger.

[00:55:46] Who you would have seen when you came through the kitchen.

[00:55:48] She's a gnome.

[00:55:50] Our court chaplain.

[00:55:52] And Alina Lanar.

[00:55:55] The royal musician.

[00:55:56] And you're a young woman.

[00:56:02] And we will have at least eight act of guards at a time when our rotating schedule.

[00:56:09] And eight servants and maid on our rotating schedule.

[00:56:15] During the time that our.

[00:56:17] Gallas is a current you are welcome to.

[00:56:21] Wonder the palace you are welcome to.

[00:56:24] Investigate most doors aside from the upper floors where they were all family stays.

[00:56:31] You're welcome to watch.

[00:56:33] You're welcome to speak to and investigate anyway you see fit.

[00:56:40] This guy likes to watch.

[00:56:42] That sounds wonderful.

[00:56:45] At any point in time that you feel you have.

[00:56:49] Completely to your investigation.

[00:56:52] Come to me and convince me that.

[00:56:55] You have found cultists within our midst.

[00:56:57] Now I'm pretty sure we can handle it.

[00:56:59] Don't worry about it.

[00:57:00] Do you get that mage.

[00:57:03] There's a royal arcanist.

[00:57:05] So apparently they had to win the whole goddamn time.

[00:57:11] I don't know that the royal.

[00:57:12] Arcanist all they do is draw arches.

[00:57:15] Oh, never mind.

[00:57:16] He's the royal royal anarchist.

[00:57:19] Oh yeah.

[00:57:20] Yeah.

[00:57:21] I'm afraid he shit sentence.

[00:57:22] That one fire.

[00:57:23] He says as for.

[00:57:24] The way you will be presented.

[00:57:29] We have some ideas unless you have better ones.

[00:57:32] You can go ahead and continue your investigation as is openly.

[00:57:36] With the power that I view ever been given with the grants of total freedom of movement.

[00:57:41] Without any cover story.

[00:57:44] You could if you wish to assume false identities as nobles.

[00:57:50] The man.

[00:57:51] Let me get this right.

[00:57:52] The cat.

[00:57:53] The man.

[00:57:54] The goal.

[00:57:56] Well, three out of the four of you can do these things.

[00:58:02] The dude walking around with the mechanical drake are going to be nobles.

[00:58:07] He says you can assume identities as visiting nobles or other official guests.

[00:58:13] In which case I'll allow you to stay in our higher guest room.

[00:58:18] I'm clearly the keeper of the wells.

[00:58:23] Keeper of the day.

[00:58:24] I'll also assign you servants, of course at that if you wish to do so.

[00:58:30] He says or we can put you under cover as palace guards or servants, in which case you will stay in the lower barracks or dormitories.

[00:58:38] Um, they will possibly restrict some of your movement and definitely restrict the equipment you carry.

[00:58:48] However, all of these options, particularly restrict the equipment you carry.

[00:58:53] We must maintain that your guests, servants or guards.

[00:58:58] Find out me about hired goons.

[00:59:02] Unfortunately, mercenary is not on my list.

[00:59:06] No, seriously.

[00:59:08] Did we get a mage?

[00:59:11] We are working on it.

[00:59:13] The royal archenist is not someone that...

[00:59:18] Unfortunately he is lacking in abilities.

[00:59:21] He was sadly kicked by horse.

[00:59:26] He used to be an easy to be a mage till he took an arrow to the knee.

[00:59:30] Never go full, Argonist.

[00:59:31] It's almost like that arcane lock is a red herring, a guff in or later plot point.

[00:59:38] Pro, later plot point.

[00:59:40] Chapter 4.

[00:59:41] He attempted to use...

[00:59:46] What is the spell?

[00:59:48] May change?

[00:59:49] Knock?
