Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos - The Big Sleep 17

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

[00:00:44] I see the subtle things that you're laying down.

[00:01:27] Are you interacting with all of this situation?

[00:01:33] I mean, I'm keeping a choice character like I should be a bodyguard so I should be staying close.

[00:01:42] But as long as he appears to be conversing, my general goal is to make people uncomfortable.

[00:01:47] So if that doesn't seem productive, then I won't get any closer.

[00:01:52] I'm watching but not interacting.

[00:01:54] Okay. Good girl.

[00:01:59] You snuff out.

[00:02:02] Grom Gokin, pretty easily.

[00:02:04] Cat scratch fever, fresh air, dead.

[00:02:09] Your you enter into a room that is about 20x20 with a spiral staircase in one corner that goes up to what you know would be like a lookout tower.

[00:02:25] And she's sort of sitting on like the second step with a spiral staircase just looking at her paw.

[00:02:30] She sort of looks at you.

[00:02:32] Looks back down again, Tanya.

[00:02:34] I will speak to her in cat.

[00:02:36] Okay.

[00:02:37] Well met my dear.

[00:02:40] She kind of gives you a look and continues looking her paw.

[00:02:45] Her paw begins to wipe it under face, such as she's cleaning her jaw.

[00:02:49] I'll wander up and say, how's the hunt tonight?

[00:02:54] The hunt?

[00:02:55] You found any good mice?

[00:02:56] Not tonight.

[00:02:58] That's a night.

[00:02:59] So no hunt tonight.

[00:03:00] Not on the lookout for anything.

[00:03:02] Why what was on lookout?

[00:03:03] Are you?

[00:03:03] She could just continue to clench herself as you talk.

[00:03:07] Depends.

[00:03:08] What is it you looking for?

[00:03:11] The bipedals.

[00:03:16] They seem like they're very confused.

[00:03:20] Yes.

[00:03:21] They're not as intelligent as we are.

[00:03:22] No, no.

[00:03:24] Don't get the sense she's dreamlans.

[00:03:26] I mean she's like, I could probably assess that this is not a one intelligence cat.

[00:03:31] As you begin, as you continue to speak, you get the idea that she almost flickers a little bit.

[00:03:38] Like it happens but it doesn't happen and you're like, fuck was that?

[00:03:42] So, someone's like in a blink.

[00:03:44] Like you blink and then you're like, wait a minute, did she just switch sides?

[00:03:47] Oh, did she come back?

[00:03:49] Like, did she just, wasn't she facing right?

[00:03:52] That's not going to go?

[00:03:54] How about that work?

[00:03:56] Not she's facing left.

[00:03:58] Yeah, can I do a perception or, sure?

[00:04:01] Because I mean, Flynn doesn't know how the dreamlans work too well.

[00:04:04] But I assume my cat would.

[00:04:06] That is a 19.

[00:04:08] Yeah, you get some really, really dreamlansy vibes.

[00:04:12] Okay.

[00:04:12] So is she in the dreamlans projecting here?

[00:04:16] You don't tell me, sure.

[00:04:16] If you call the Catholic mythos, is the cats physically go.

[00:04:22] They don't dream there.

[00:04:24] They go there.

[00:04:25] So cats can, cats can, can multi-versally jump from dreamlans to reality and back and forth.

[00:04:37] So a cat you meet in the dreamlans may very well be a cat you could meet on the street.

[00:04:42] It's not like an astral projection which is how humans enter the dreamlans typically.

[00:04:46] Unless you ran off Carter in a few others.

[00:04:48] But I don't like this.

[00:04:49] I mean, there are rules for this.

[00:04:52] But one is while they, while you sleep as a cat, you can go.

[00:04:57] And that's the easy way.

[00:04:58] And then you can also find the portals of slumber.

[00:05:01] And that's why I asked you if there was one near because I can detect if they're within a mile.

[00:05:05] And then I could just walk in.

[00:05:06] But it's like random chance.

[00:05:09] Okay.

[00:05:09] But I don't get it a sense of like.

[00:05:11] That's 500 steps or whatever.

[00:05:14] Is she here, is she elsewhere?

[00:05:16] She's right there.

[00:05:17] Okay.

[00:05:18] You know how many magic so you're kind of fucked in that regard.

[00:05:21] Yeah.

[00:05:21] You could be using.

[00:05:23] It might not be a dreamlans though.

[00:05:24] I should be having a fucking cat.

[00:05:26] She's kind of probably polymorphed.

[00:05:27] Yeah.

[00:05:27] She's kind of flicks your tail.

[00:05:30] She can be a toad.

[00:05:32] She's kind of flicks your tail and kind of look at you as if,

[00:05:36] waiting for more.

[00:05:38] The, the bipedals are concerned about the,

[00:05:43] the big mouse hole underground.

[00:05:46] If you know where I mean, do tell.

[00:05:49] Insight.

[00:05:50] Uh,

[00:05:53] 17.

[00:05:55] She knows what you're talking about.

[00:05:56] She's wanting to elaborate.

[00:06:00] These, she wants to know what you know basically.

[00:06:03] We, I know it stretches.

[00:06:07] All across the city.

[00:06:09] A lot of things potentially coming and going.

[00:06:11] Mm-hmm.

[00:06:12] A lot of people coming and going.

[00:06:13] And yet no one knows?

[00:06:14] It's a surprise.

[00:06:16] How does that happen?

[00:06:17] That's an interesting question.

[00:06:19] Not something I've cared for.

[00:06:21] Nor tried to sauce out myself.

[00:06:23] I hear rumors.

[00:06:24] I hear people talk.

[00:06:25] When you're next time, you slept.

[00:06:30] When's the last time you've been home?

[00:06:32] It's been a minute.

[00:06:33] I'm so I've been, uh,

[00:06:35] for a while kind of wrapped up in the, uh,

[00:06:37] the goings on of, of the bipedals.

[00:06:42] I am a little tired though.

[00:06:43] I'm a little tired.

[00:06:45] Do you feel like we should, uh,

[00:06:46] take the conversation elsewhere?

[00:06:48] She looks around and just knowing you're now.

[00:06:50] It's not what I mean.

[00:06:52] I hear.

[00:06:53] All right.

[00:06:54] Well,

[00:06:56] yeah.

[00:06:57] I'm gonna, uh,

[00:06:59] I assume.

[00:07:00] We need to meet.

[00:07:01] I'm moving.

[00:07:01] Hold on.

[00:07:02] This is the first time I'm actually not interested in banging.

[00:07:08] I'm going to apply it.

[00:07:09] Does she want to go to the dream lands?

[00:07:12] And have this conversation as a Flizz apply.

[00:07:14] This would be the only time in the history of two decades of the

[00:07:17] dream land that he hasn't been interested in.

[00:07:20] Hey, I have behaved on this podcast.

[00:07:22] It's a family podcast.

[00:07:26] Since when?

[00:07:27] I did eat it.

[00:07:28] I've tried to think in two of an isolation.

[00:07:30] Have you tried to boyk anything?

[00:07:31] Let me not have.

[00:07:34] Now, Bork was no, yeah, I did.

[00:07:36] To be the paladin lady.

[00:07:38] It does sound like Flynn.

[00:07:41] She kind of looks at you and says,

[00:07:43] What is it you really want to know?

[00:07:45] I want to know what you have gleaned from the bipedals about this situation.

[00:07:51] Who do you suspect?

[00:07:53] Who do you think has something to gain from,

[00:07:57] you know,

[00:07:58] harboring these two people?

[00:08:01] I mean, I don't know at all,

[00:08:03] but I can tell you there are many people to look into.

[00:08:07] I've sat in on council meetings before.

[00:08:09] Everyone is suspicious.

[00:08:11] Perhaps that's how politics on this land works.

[00:08:14] It seems like the king himself is oblivious to most things.

[00:08:18] I can tell.

[00:08:19] Although very good at ear scratches.

[00:08:21] It'll give me some of that.

[00:08:22] The arvager is ruthless in person,

[00:08:25] but kind and private.

[00:08:26] The captain is the opposite.

[00:08:28] The servants.

[00:08:30] Meanwhile, most of them complain that they don't get paid enough for what they do,

[00:08:35] but perhaps that's servant to enforce.

[00:08:37] Some of the nobles whisper and only speak aloud

[00:08:40] of the things that they wish people to know.

[00:08:42] What have you heard?

[00:08:45] Caverns, darkness, poisons, drugs,

[00:08:49] sleeping.

[00:08:50] That's the thing that brought my attention mostly.

[00:08:53] Was this sleeping?

[00:08:54] These humans are always kind of chasing what us comes

[00:08:58] so easily.

[00:08:59] It's kind of funny.

[00:09:00] It is.

[00:09:02] The problem is, I don't believe that they're seeking the dreamland.

[00:09:05] It's something else and I'm not entirely sure what it is.

[00:09:08] Who's been whispering about the sleeping poisons, the drugs?

[00:09:12] There's a fat man.

[00:09:14] Balt.

[00:09:15] I don't remember his name.

[00:09:17] Being the merciless.

[00:09:20] You'll Brenner.

[00:09:21] Kingpin.

[00:09:22] Who does he talk to about this?

[00:09:25] Some of the servants.

[00:09:26] Some of the nobles.

[00:09:27] Like Slyuthar.

[00:09:29] Some of his though he wants to sleep as much as possible.

[00:09:33] Professor Xavier.

[00:09:35] Do you ever try to convince anyone else to sleep with him?

[00:09:39] Not in that grotesque, quite a way but not to my knowledge now.

[00:09:44] Interesting.

[00:09:45] He constantly has a... what do they call it?

[00:09:48] Flask?

[00:09:49] On him?

[00:09:51] Aside from that, he seems harmless.

[00:09:53] Flask's uh... that's helpful.

[00:09:56] That's very helpful.

[00:09:56] I appreciate it.

[00:09:58] What keeps you here?

[00:09:59] The mice mostly.

[00:10:00] Fat mice.

[00:10:02] Good feeling.

[00:10:03] Great eating.

[00:10:04] Fondicatch.

[00:10:05] Fondic play with.

[00:10:06] Good to know.

[00:10:07] You've been very helpful.

[00:10:08] I appreciate it.

[00:10:10] Do you go down to the seller?

[00:10:12] Very often.

[00:10:13] I'm sure there's good hunting down there.

[00:10:15] Good mice down there.

[00:10:17] Fat mice.

[00:10:18] Rats sometimes.

[00:10:19] Okay.

[00:10:20] That's why they keep me around.

[00:10:22] I'm good at what I do.

[00:10:25] But I do listen.

[00:10:25] I probably don't need to tell you this but...

[00:10:29] Be on the lookout tonight.

[00:10:31] Hmm.

[00:10:33] I've been feeling.

[00:10:34] I've been feeling.

[00:10:36] The smitty people all together.

[00:10:39] These mysteries, these whisperings.

[00:10:42] This desire for sleep.

[00:10:44] Hmm.

[00:10:44] I'll do that.

[00:10:46] Well, thank you for your help.

[00:10:48] And I will go rushing back to the main hall to look for that fat fuck.

[00:10:52] Have you slept with half-elf-highty-climmy-it?

[00:10:57] I've actually been sitting over here waiting to either kill something or make quarter-elves.

[00:11:02] As you hoard or else.

[00:11:04] As you wander, all this is having at the same time.

[00:11:07] So it's got a bounce.

[00:11:08] I'm not judging you.

[00:11:10] It's just everybody knows it's coming.

[00:11:13] So...

[00:11:13] Um...

[00:11:13] So you make your way into the west corridor.

[00:11:17] You walk.

[00:11:17] You wander.

[00:11:18] Mostly UC servants.

[00:11:20] Cleaning.

[00:11:21] As you exit one of these doors right here,

[00:11:25] this section here is a chapel.

[00:11:28] Um...

[00:11:28] And you see a woman with a big...

[00:11:33] uh...

[00:11:33] streak of gray and white in her hair.

[00:11:36] Um...

[00:11:37] Remove her mask and solemnly walk into the chapel.

[00:11:41] And as she walks by,

[00:11:43] Sylvie puts her arm out to stop you from walking

[00:11:46] and she lowers her head as the woman walks by.

[00:11:49] And waits until she enters the chapel before she lifts her head.

[00:11:52] What's up?

[00:11:53] Have you not met the queen?

[00:11:54] No.

[00:11:55] No, I have not.

[00:11:57] Haven't had the pleasure.

[00:11:58] Every night.

[00:11:59] And every morning.

[00:12:00] Dusk and Dawn, she prays.

[00:12:03] For what I don't know.

[00:12:04] Does she go in there with anybody else?

[00:12:06] The chapel sometimes.

[00:12:08] But mostly alone.

[00:12:09] She seems...

[00:12:11] sad that she lost anyone recently.

[00:12:14] They never had children.

[00:12:15] Maybe that's it.

[00:12:16] Hmm...

[00:12:17] Can be difficult for some.

[00:12:19] Yes.

[00:12:20] We should continue.

[00:12:21] And she kind of just brings you down and eventually back into the main hall.

[00:12:26] Unless you're drowning, you don't know.

[00:12:27] Uh...

[00:12:28] Have you run into anything interesting?

[00:12:30] Other than guards, no.

[00:12:31] Other than guards, no.

[00:12:33] No random drunkards.

[00:12:35] There...

[00:12:36] Hmm...

[00:12:36] Anything like that?

[00:12:37] Hmm...

[00:12:37] Let's see here.

[00:12:38] What can I do with this half elf?

[00:12:40] I feel like she'd be a good font of information.

[00:12:43] I just don't know how to get it out of her.

[00:12:45] Well, you just kind of have to keep going.

[00:12:47] You know what I mean?

[00:12:48] Maybe find out some stuff from her and then find a way to get with the queen for some info.

[00:12:55] Maybe...

[00:12:55] Maybe Lucas gave this up really quickly.

[00:12:58] Yeah, probably.

[00:12:59] She's the one with the glowing eye, Green Eyes.

[00:13:01] That was the chamber that I talked to.

[00:13:02] Yeah.

[00:13:04] Is it the same guy who has the flask?

[00:13:05] No, that's the Stuart.

[00:13:07] That's the guy he pointed.

[00:13:10] The Stuart in the giant green robe.

[00:13:12] Yeah, I feel like we're getting Shanghai here a little bit.

[00:13:17] I feel like...

[00:13:18] I mean, either it's very easy or yeah.

[00:13:21] It's a lot of red herrings.

[00:13:23] So they want us to go after the fat guy or they want us to go after the chamberlain.

[00:13:28] Who's the cat?

[00:13:29] Who did the cat?

[00:13:30] The Stuart.

[00:13:31] Stuart was the fat bald guy.

[00:13:34] Okay.

[00:13:34] What was the title of the guy with the green eyes?

[00:13:38] Chamberlain.

[00:13:38] Okay, Chamberlain.

[00:13:39] For whatever reason, Stuart and Chamberlain is just like melding into my mind.

[00:13:42] I think the same thing because...

[00:13:45] I mean...

[00:13:45] I don't think we're going to...

[00:13:46] I'm going to be able to...

[00:13:47] They kind of are...

[00:13:48] Yeah.

[00:13:49] Because like the Chamberlain...

[00:13:50] They work very closely in the...

[00:13:52] The Stuart...

[00:13:53] Chamberlain basically oversees the house, the Stuart oversees the estate.

[00:13:59] We...

[00:14:00] What's the difference?

[00:14:01] Houses everybody works in the house to manage it.

[00:14:04] The estate is the...

[00:14:06] Like finances and stuff.

[00:14:07] Kind of like a treasure.

[00:14:10] Oh, so the Stuart is over...

[00:14:12] The finance guy thought that...

[00:14:14] No, they...

[00:14:14] They work together.

[00:14:16] They work together.

[00:14:18] They basically...

[00:14:18] He's not wrong.

[00:14:19] Stuart is the Stuart is...

[00:14:20] We don't know because...

[00:14:21] Why don't we...

[00:14:21] Howculate our stuff in three to minutes?

[00:14:24] Let's try.

[00:14:24] Non-sense.

[00:14:25] But yeah, I think we're getting...

[00:14:27] I think we're getting a sacrificial lamb here.

[00:14:29] So it's...

[00:14:31] In temper expectations.

[00:14:33] Well, he was making quarter elves.

[00:14:36] Which...

[00:14:36] Great line.

[00:14:37] Nice.

[00:14:39] So doose performance.

[00:14:41] Rolled create on both.

[00:14:42] Moving on.

[00:14:44] She spilled the beans.

[00:14:45] Poise Cortis.

[00:14:48] Silvie brings you back to the...

[00:14:49] To the main door, which...

[00:14:51] Guard opens and lets you guys back into the main hall.

[00:14:54] Or the party continues.

[00:14:56] As you enter the main hall...

[00:14:59] It catches your eye with the door opens.

[00:15:02] Goal.

[00:15:03] As you are keeping track of who's who and what's what?

[00:15:06] You see your friend who is...

[00:15:09] Put your in the be a servant and so we walk in.

[00:15:13] Who immediately takes a right and follows the wall

[00:15:17] To go around the room, to...

[00:15:19] As to not interrupt the party.

[00:15:24] And as they enter you see Captain Ray Hack exit.

[00:15:29] Captain Ray Bannon is what now?

[00:15:31] Captain of the guard.

[00:15:32] Captain, I guard.

[00:15:33] Who's the one who's going to do multiple times?

[00:15:35] Looks good.

[00:15:36] In person, but is apparently cruel where people can't see him.

[00:15:39] One of many of the people here in this castle I probably subtly or overtly threatened.

[00:15:45] You...

[00:15:45] Prom...

[00:15:47] But...

[00:15:47] I thought you were going to say suspects because I was going to say use...

[00:15:50] It's a Mc everyone.

[00:15:52] And I threatened them all.

[00:15:53] No one suspects the Spanish English.

[00:15:55] No.

[00:15:56] He is basically the right hand man at this point.

[00:16:00] He is the captain of the guard.

[00:16:01] And was in the room when you were paid multiple times.

[00:16:05] And was part of the consultation to create this ball to begin with.

[00:16:10] Uh...

[00:16:11] Yeah, I'll follow him.

[00:16:14] Uh...

[00:16:14] Yeah, you...

[00:16:15] The guards open the door.

[00:16:16] You walk out and Captain Ray Hack is sort of right in this area by the front door.

[00:16:21] Speaking to one of his guards.

[00:16:25] Um...

[00:16:27] And...

[00:16:27] Turns about in CZ and says, ah...

[00:16:29] Fellow, girlfriend.

[00:16:30] What can I do for you?

[00:16:32] Captain.

[00:16:33] Yes.

[00:16:35] Status.

[00:16:43] Your men.

[00:16:45] BZ has ever been about time for a shift change.

[00:16:48] Do they all still live?

[00:16:52] He kind of looks and the guard next to him, the guard shrugs and says...

[00:16:57] As far as I'm aware.

[00:16:58] I have not made her round, though.

[00:17:02] That's...

[00:17:02] Not my position.

[00:17:03] In competence.

[00:17:05] It's a prevalent and I just turned and walked back into the...

[00:17:10] Into the...

[00:17:10] Into the sort of...

[00:17:11] Trugs.

[00:17:12] Fair enough.

[00:17:21] uh...

[00:17:21] A woman kind of taken a glass of wine.

[00:17:24] Chuckles a little bit and kind of bumped into you.

[00:17:27] Turns... Turns about.

[00:17:28] Oh, I'm so sorry.

[00:17:30] What's the...

[00:17:31] Cleavage to villainous ratio?

[00:17:34] Cleavage to villainous ratio?

[00:17:35] Which would you like to be higher?

[00:17:37] Well, I'm trying to think about it, right?

[00:17:38] Like, you got...

[00:17:40] No, no, no.

[00:17:40] But like, you got...

[00:17:42] Uh...

[00:17:44] Evil in, right?

[00:17:46] Which is just like...

[00:17:48] Basically shown at all.

[00:17:50] You've got like...

[00:17:52] Power girl who is sometimes good, sometimes bad, right?

[00:17:56] You can say the same thing about...

[00:17:58] Uh...

[00:17:59] Oh, God.

[00:18:00] What's her name?

[00:18:01] From the X-Men.

[00:18:13] Are we Jean Grey?

[00:18:15] Are we Phoenix?

[00:18:16] Or are we Goblin Queen?

[00:18:17] I feel like that's a nice cleavage to evil ratio there.

[00:18:21] My question is, is what about Bluffs and the...

[00:18:23] She throws it all at the window.

[00:18:24] She's like all the way up to her collar.

[00:18:27] And she's so close to the window.

[00:18:28] It's not real.

[00:18:29] Yeah.

[00:18:30] Good point.

[00:18:31] They don't follow any kind of rules.

[00:18:34] They are Disney.

[00:18:35] We'll go play with the Jean Grey.

[00:18:37] All right.

[00:18:42] Pull that way.

[00:18:43] Just straight course it this...

[00:18:44] She's not wearing a mask.

[00:18:46] She is tall.

[00:18:48] Um...

[00:18:52] Dressing color for...

[00:18:53] Color for...

[00:18:55] I can't talk for something like that.

[00:18:57] Color for...

[00:18:57] Color for...

[00:18:58] Cull of flower rooms!

[00:19:00] Is it getting anything to do with the Rine guys that are sitting beside me?

[00:19:02] No, because Lucas...

[00:19:05] Slurs over everything without beer.

[00:19:08] I think you had some.

[00:19:11] Calantitown.

[00:19:12] She had a drink in her hand.

[00:19:14] She was basically pulling back the last of her line.

[00:19:20] And when she backed into you and apologized.

[00:19:22] I'm so sorry.

[00:19:22] I will reach out and snag, snatch her wrists so as to prevent her from either dumping

[00:19:30] any contents on her or dropping the glass.

[00:19:33] Ah, yes, the glass is actually, it does like just a sliver of foam at the bottom, man, not

[00:19:38] foam, but whatever's left of the one.

[00:19:42] A servant walks by with an empty tray and with the hand that's not being grasped, she reaches

[00:19:47] over for a fresh glass.

[00:19:50] As she does so, I will reach with my free hand, extract the empty one and put it on

[00:19:54] the tray.

[00:19:55] Never letting go or unlocking eyes with her.

[00:19:58] And she looks at you and says, thank you, sir.

[00:20:02] Did you take work?

[00:20:03] You are here with the new dignitary.

[00:20:07] Correct?

[00:20:08] Yes.

[00:20:09] Oh, what was his name?

[00:20:12] Archtook, Furnan Sand of the Salt Deep Rounds.

[00:20:15] Ah, yes, the cod man.

[00:20:17] She had a takes a drink.

[00:20:19] Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:20:21] That's a simple nothing of a cod.

[00:20:24] That cod man.

[00:20:25] I'll let her arm go, but I do not respond to her.

[00:20:30] Um, she, uh, she kind of gives you a curtain odd and says, uh, row are going to

[00:20:37] Stamise, Metzy.

[00:20:39] It's wonderful to meet you.

[00:20:42] He nods.

[00:20:43] Mage.

[00:20:44] Yes.

[00:20:45] I just look at her, expectantly.

[00:20:48] Um, she kind of just looks around awkwardly, uh, breaks the silence with, uh,

[00:20:54] that are you enjoying yourself?

[00:20:59] No.

[00:21:00] Not as well.

[00:21:02] Perhaps that's the, uh, the role of a guard is your dignitary, uh, enjoying himself.

[00:21:09] He will make a show of looking and seeing, uh,

[00:21:18] doubtful.

[00:21:19] Very well.

[00:21:20] I look, butch, look, look forward to meeting them.

[00:21:25] I nod.

[00:21:27] Um, as you nod and you look over, far on the other end, you see, uh, you see, uh, Thomas with a goblet,

[00:21:37] shaking it in your direction.

[00:21:39] I nod.

[00:21:40] As you venture back towards the servant.

[00:21:44] Uh, I will as I step, uh, step by, uh, I will turn and look at her.

[00:21:50] Excuse me.

[00:21:51] And brush by her aggressively, but not knocking her.

[00:21:54] She kind of just gives you a bit of a nod and a chuckle and takes another swing.

[00:22:03] The cards aren't the only ones here who are incompetent.

[00:22:06] You saying that to anyone in particular?

[00:22:08] I think it's just a side, aside to the camera.

[00:22:11] It's my dead pull moment.

[00:22:12] Um, you do what you do walk by your,

[00:22:16] air quote, dignitary on your other way to, uh, toward your, uh,

[00:22:22] goblet of blood.

[00:22:23] Does he appear in mortal danger?

[00:22:25] Uh, no.

[00:22:26] He's being introduced to a fat bullman.

[00:22:28] So he is in mortal danger.

[00:22:29] Okay.

[00:22:31] I know.

[00:22:32] I will go get my goblet of blood and step out of this.

[00:22:38] Sandra O'Buel, he is a human male thick bald,

[00:22:44] stumbled face.

[00:24:00] One of the finest.

[00:24:01] Yes, one of the finest.

[00:24:02] And, uh, you are here to, uh, and he kind of looks at the Chamberlain says,

[00:24:07] create contacts.

[00:24:08] I presume?

[00:24:10] Absolutely.

[00:24:10] Excellent.

[00:24:10] Yes, trying to gauge, you know,

[00:24:13] further interest in, in our seafood.

[00:24:17] I see.

[00:24:18] I see.

[00:24:19] Uh, will you be presenting something or a council meeting in the Marauden?

[00:24:23] Uh, the King has that estimate to, yeah.

[00:24:26] So it remains to be seen.

[00:24:27] Ah, well, then I will ask you to.

[00:24:30] Okay.

[00:24:31] Excellent.

[00:24:31] Right, man.

[00:24:33] Um, is the Chamberlain, Chamberlain sticking around,

[00:24:39] he's, he's like sticking around with us or is he?

[00:24:41] Yeah, he's standing there.

[00:24:41] He's just standing there.

[00:24:42] Arm is bound to his back.

[00:24:43] Just, just, just listening but not entirely like watching sort of looking around as well.

[00:24:49] Almost looking for his way out.

[00:24:51] Uh, what, what is, what is the age?

[00:24:54] Roughly of him.

[00:24:56] Uh, of, brule.

[00:24:57] Yeah, a bule.

[00:24:59] Hard to say with a mask on.

[00:25:01] I mean, you would guess close to middle-age.

[00:25:05] How long have you enjoyed your position as steward?

[00:25:10] Uh, five years, I think.

[00:25:11] Also fairly new.

[00:25:12] Uh, yes.

[00:25:13] Yes.

[00:25:14] Um, what would you do beforehand?

[00:25:17] Uh, I grew up in an mobile home.

[00:25:21] Um, my great grandfather was one steward here.

[00:25:24] So it is, it is, it is my blood.

[00:25:26] Nice.

[00:25:27] Yes.

[00:25:27] Different King in different time.

[00:25:29] Yeah.

[00:25:30] Um, spent some time in, uh, yet heave, for a while.

[00:25:35] Um, schooling and, uh, return here.

[00:25:37] Trying to gauge whether or not and he, want to ask a similar line of question.

[00:25:43] As I'm talking to him, I will, like,

[00:25:48] try to be looking at the chamber line to see what is his sort of demeanor.

[00:25:56] Um, trying to figure out how to walk away from the situation without being rude.

[00:26:01] Um, he is literally like, he's, he's, he's paying attention, but literally looking around as if trying to find someone else to speak through.

[00:26:08] I'll turn to him and say, don't, don't, let us keep you.

[00:26:11] I appreciate the introduction to Mr. Billbrew.

[00:26:14] We'll get on well here.

[00:26:16] Wonderful.

[00:26:16] Wonderful.

[00:26:17] And, uh, he just kind of, he says, wonderful to meet you.

[00:26:22] Please, by all means, mingle.

[00:26:23] Come back and speak to me anytime.

[00:26:26] And, uh, he just looks over and says,

[00:26:28] Sandra, and Sandra does not speak, but nods back.

[00:26:33] And he exits.

[00:26:35] You're gone.

[00:26:36] You're gone.

[00:26:37] You're by yourself.

[00:26:38] Excellent.

[00:26:38] No, I'm around.

[00:26:39] He's around, but he's not like next to you.

[00:26:43] I do give me the signal.

[00:26:45] I mean, as soon as I can, to, to grab your, your eye gaze,

[00:26:52] I would like nod towards the Chamberlain to, like basically signal about, like, keep tabs.

[00:26:59] Uh, unless Lucas wants to somehow interject,

[00:27:02] I will do so.

[00:27:05] And no, you're good.

[00:27:06] Okay.

[00:27:07] No, I will be keeping eye on him based on choice.

[00:27:10] No, subtle mind.

[00:27:12] Uh, the Chamberlain begins to speak to the, um,

[00:27:15] woman in colorful rooms that you just, um, kind of,

[00:27:20] fucked off from.

[00:27:20] What do you make of this, uh, this nasty cold business?

[00:27:24] I'm, um, just a, afraid that this could, uh,

[00:27:29] dampen a chance of business.

[00:27:32] Cold business.

[00:27:35] Nasty, really.

[00:27:36] I've heard a lot of rumors.

[00:27:39] Unfortunately, I don't think any truth has come from it.

[00:27:43] Not entirely sure that the cult is as fast as what the King believes.

[00:27:47] Uh, but wouldn't they work so much more effectively that way?

[00:27:53] If the King was unaware?

[00:27:55] Well, you kind of look around between you and me.

[00:28:00] The King is unaware of a lot of things.

[00:28:02] Oh.

[00:28:04] Like what?

[00:28:05] Nothing in particular.

[00:28:07] Just that he's passive.

[00:28:11] Even, um, what about, is he, um,

[00:28:14] so he's not a very active present King?

[00:28:19] I get the sense that, uh, King here is more of, uh, for show.

[00:28:26] Hmm, he kind of, he, he almost struggles, but doesn't quite let it out.

[00:28:30] And looks, you know, he looks over and you see that his gay is goes to the man on the golden mask

[00:28:34] that you first met and, and he kind of side, side mouth whispers to you.

[00:28:41] Everyone knows that Lord Rada was around this city.

[00:28:45] Well, I mean, it is he does share the name of course.

[00:28:52] What does a King but a figure had really?

[00:28:54] Is that historically, uh, accurate as well?

[00:28:58] Or is it more seem to be with this particular mayor and King?

[00:29:06] Perhaps it is more current?

[00:29:10] Then again, it wasn't the King's people who fought off the cultists to begin with.

[00:29:16] Oh, he was it.

[00:29:19] The Lord Mayor's family.

[00:29:21] Oh, really?

[00:29:22] Rada was as been here for nearly 900 years.

[00:29:26] Throughout of us family, there's always been Lord to the city that King is elect sort of.

[00:29:33] The royal blood exists.

[00:29:34] A tracks his heir.

[00:29:37] It was heir when he took to cold.

[00:29:39] His father before him, his father before him.

[00:29:44] But the Rada was family.

[00:29:48] The true rule is this place.

[00:29:56] It's a different, uh, different paradigm.

[00:29:58] Then roast King dumps.

[00:30:03] Yes.

[00:30:05] Though the people he winks don't really know the difference.

[00:30:08] I'll do that.

[00:30:10] If you'll excuse me.

[00:30:15] Before, but throughout this conversation, do his eyes look...

[00:30:19] No, his eyes look married?

[00:30:22] Other than that fact that the, you can see like veins popping on its head because it doesn't mask

[00:30:26] as great too tight.

[00:30:28] Oh, it's too tight.

[00:30:30] Fat in, mass of T-Smoke.

[00:30:32] Well, I was getting the opposite impression.

[00:30:34] He said it was having hard times staying on.

[00:30:36] I figured he was just being sloppy with it.

[00:30:38] Oh, no, I mean, fat?

[00:30:39] Yeah, like it's not on.

[00:30:41] It's not on straight.

[00:30:42] It's on tight.

[00:30:44] He heads, he heads to the north of the room.

[00:30:47] Uh, through kind of the wassee of people.

[00:30:49] I'd be like, is it hurt?

[00:30:51] Does he hurt so much here or here?

[00:30:54] Right?

[00:30:54] What's the cat doing?

[00:30:56] Am I back in the room?

[00:30:57] Are you going back into the main hall?

[00:30:58] Yes.

[00:31:00] Then sure, you could have snuck in at the moment that, uh,

[00:31:06] Magnus had.

[00:31:07] Got snuck through their feet perhaps?

[00:31:09] Sure.

[00:31:10] Am I there while he's talking to the steward?

[00:31:13] Because I'd be going right to the steward.

[00:31:16] Through see if people might be slightly more difficult,

[00:31:18] you might see him walking away from the conversation.

[00:31:22] Okay.

[00:31:23] I didn't know it.

[00:31:24] Um, I will go up to my fish friend.

[00:31:28] Now I'll give a little, well, flick of the tail.

[00:31:31] No, I'll lean down and like,

[00:31:33] heading him and like, what'd you, what'd he feel like?

[00:31:36] The fat man.

[00:31:37] That's your job.

[00:31:38] Sorry.

[00:31:39] Go down, pediment.

[00:31:40] What if you learned?

[00:31:41] The fat man speaks of drugs and slumber.

[00:31:44] He sleeps a lot.

[00:31:45] And he has a suspicious flash full of liquid.

[00:31:49] We need to get the flash.

[00:31:50] That would have been information that would have been useful.

[00:31:53] You guys charge high.

[00:31:56] Got here as fast as I could.

[00:31:59] Hmm, suppose, suppose that may make sense.

[00:32:04] I also talked with the Chamberlain Isable Weird.

[00:32:08] Weird how?

[00:32:11] Ish.

[00:32:12] My eyes are green.

[00:32:13] You guys are green.

[00:32:14] Like, you're in there and it's like supposed to be human eyes.

[00:32:18] Typically not.

[00:32:22] Okay.

[00:32:23] Anything else?

[00:32:24] No, but see if you can

[00:32:27] try to keep tabs on that.

[00:32:29] Steward.

[00:32:30] Can do?

[00:32:31] I'm going to see if I can find that.

[00:32:32] Steward?

[00:32:33] Yeah, I mean, you can.

[00:32:35] We even, and out of people's feet and you do see the steward.

[00:32:39] Um, speaking to a servant in the corner of the room.

[00:32:42] Do I see like a flask on this person?

[00:32:46] Resception check?

[00:32:47] 19.

[00:32:49] Yeah, you see a bulge that looks like the distinct shape of a flask.

[00:32:53] Kind of on his right hip.

[00:32:56] So it's in a pocket.

[00:32:57] Yeah, it's not like it's sitting out on a belt real quick.

[00:33:01] Okay, I'm so that would be easier.

[00:33:05] Let's see how we got here.

[00:33:08] I'm going to drop two key points.

[00:33:12] Two cast pass without trace.

[00:33:14] Okay.

[00:33:15] So that gives me plus 10 to my stealth.

[00:33:18] So rolling stealth check at a plus 16.

[00:33:23] Oh, 18.

[00:33:34] I'm just going to wander up.

[00:33:38] And you're trying to take it from him.

[00:33:39] It will be a slight of hand check.

[00:33:42] Okay.

[00:33:43] Because he would notice eventually.

[00:33:45] He would notice the cat climbing up his leg.

[00:33:47] So yeah, I'm going to take it over there.

[00:33:50] Yeah.

[00:33:51] I'm going to tail him for now.

[00:33:53] Because that fat fuck's going to get tired.

[00:33:54] And he's going to see a lot of people.

[00:33:54] I'm just going to sit down.

[00:33:56] So I'm just going to maintain my stealth and just kind of tail him.

[00:34:01] Yeah, he's speaking to a servant from what you can hear among the, you know,

[00:34:08] Brattle of all the other people in this room.

[00:34:11] Something about drinks and food.

[00:34:13] He's his hungry.

[00:34:17] Magnus.

[00:34:18] So the brings you back into the kitchen for a moment.

[00:34:22] It appears that everything else, everything in here seems to be going quite well.

[00:34:28] No one has under stress.

[00:34:30] She will then bring you into the Eastern corridor.

[00:34:33] Cool.

[00:34:34] That persuasion check roll was legit in that pile of eye.

[00:34:37] I apologize.

[00:34:38] What was that for?

[00:34:39] Seduce.

[00:34:40] To seduce Sylvie?

[00:34:41] Of course.

[00:34:41] It was laid out there.

[00:34:43] My as a little Paul.

[00:34:44] I apologize.

[00:34:44] I completely forgot you did that.

[00:34:47] I thought it was joke.

[00:34:48] What did you roll?

[00:34:49] Not 20.

[00:34:52] She isn't freed.

[00:34:55] Because she's the headmaid.

[00:34:56] She knows shit.

[00:35:02] She's she's she's back an hour.

[00:35:04] She is no longer taking the lead, but walking next to you.

[00:35:10] In Tric by you.

[00:35:11] So as you enter the Eastern corridor where the barracks and the servants quarters would be

[00:35:16] I wrote me a perception check.

[00:35:17] Let's check 14.

[00:35:20] You do hear some footsteps kind of to the east south east around a corner that you can't see.

[00:35:27] But you don't notice anyone specifically.

[00:35:30] Your foot steps but I don't know if there's anything specific.

[00:35:34] There's a guard posted on one corner who was not moving.

[00:35:38] But you do notice you do notice footsteps as if they're heading south.

[00:35:44] Away from you.

[00:35:44] Secret corridor.

[00:35:47] Um, so this corridor would go, was that a thing?

[00:35:50] It would come out through here and then come down and circle back.

[00:35:56] So you're hearing someone over here around a corner you can't see.

[00:36:01] Going south.

[00:36:03] And it has to get that later.

[00:36:05] And so we will begin to ask you about you when your personal life and that sort of thing

[00:36:13] as she is now more intrigued than she was before.

[00:36:16] Fantastic.

[00:36:17] We'll do that and you can move on to the next person.

[00:36:20] Okay.

[00:36:21] The killer just got away.

[00:36:26] Let's go back to Fishman.

[00:36:30] You kind of been left alone in the middle of the room.

[00:36:35] It's a 40 by 40 room, the loans are a bit of a stretch.

[00:36:38] Because you're alone in terms of you're not talking to anyone.

[00:36:41] That's fair.

[00:36:42] And no one's approaching you.

[00:36:44] Is there anyone in the room you are looking for specifically now?

[00:36:48] You can always chase after people who have also spoken to already if that's what you wanted to do.

[00:36:54] And we talked to Ryan Hart yet, the arbiter.

[00:36:58] I feel like we have not since the parties began.

[00:37:02] She is here, Mangalyn, Masquist.

[00:37:06] Actually want to try and talk with the Lord Mayor.

[00:37:09] Okay.

[00:37:10] You see the Lord Mayor in conversation with some random doubles.

[00:37:16] Still, still wearing his golden mask.

[00:37:20] You approach him and he turns and says, ah, yes.

[00:37:24] How may I help you?

[00:37:25] I'm a Lord, how are you enjoying the party?

[00:37:28] It is quite the party.

[00:37:30] I am anticipating the food.

[00:37:33] Yes, I wonder when they will.

[00:37:35] Should be serving soon.

[00:37:36] Yes, well, it is a quite a large party.

[00:37:39] Yes.

[00:37:40] And you know, 40 by 40 around 50 plus people.

[00:37:44] Pretty shorter shoulder in here.

[00:37:48] Yes, I'm very intrigued by the food from your home that.

[00:37:53] Hi, yes, I expect that you will be deeply pleased.

[00:37:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:37:59] Whether types of food do you enjoy?

[00:38:04] Well, seafood is one of my favorites.

[00:38:06] I will admit that.

[00:38:07] And I stake.

[00:38:09] Good vinesam.

[00:38:10] Is there a good game around here?

[00:38:12] Oh, yes.

[00:38:13] Just outside the city.

[00:38:14] Further into the area where you leave the Yeteev lands, which of course we have to

[00:38:21] have permission to hunt in.

[00:38:23] As we talk, do the people that he was talking with previously, are they sticking

[00:38:27] around?

[00:38:28] They're just sort of standing there.

[00:38:29] Like they don't know who you are.

[00:38:32] They're just there.

[00:38:33] Do you think my bringing new business here would do well?

[00:38:39] Or is there any unseemly characters that might interfere on the seemingly

[00:38:46] characters in what way?

[00:38:49] Oh, I don't know.

[00:38:51] Every area has some sort of underbelly.

[00:38:57] That is true.

[00:38:58] If you're insinuating that some sort of pirate brigade would stop your ships from coming,

[00:39:05] I don't think that would be the case.

[00:39:08] I've actually heard some tales of your family, actually, in being responsible for

[00:39:14] wiping out similar folk.

[00:39:17] You get the idea behind this mask that he smiles as he sort of stiffens straightened up.

[00:39:23] You mean the Coltish war?

[00:39:26] Yes.

[00:39:27] Yes.

[00:39:28] My family was very much behind the resistance that took down the Colt.

[00:39:33] And those, they were completely wiped out or do you suspect that there's seedlings still?

[00:39:40] I would say seedlings do exist.

[00:39:43] I can't imagine that every member of the Colt was taken out.

[00:39:48] Not every, not every person can be removed from existence.

[00:39:52] Ten on insights, not going to get me much on how genuine he is.

[00:39:57] Seems genuine.

[00:39:58] I mean it's, yeah, it'd be rough but it doesn't seem to be lying.

[00:40:02] Yeah.

[00:40:03] Have you heard any specific rumblings lately of activity or?

[00:40:09] Well, I heard that there was something in that tavern if you, maybe perhaps a week ago.

[00:40:17] Someone was chased into a tavern.

[00:40:20] I heard that the stairwell collapsed and there was a big ordeal and a couple of members

[00:40:28] of presumably said Colt were sust out.

[00:40:33] Oh, yeah.

[00:40:35] So, rad tag of random patrons seem to have taken the time to become investigators.

[00:40:41] Or these supposed to Colt members question, do they give any information?

[00:40:46] To my knowledge, they were questioned but didn't give up much and when refused to, we're executed.

[00:40:53] And you see absolutely no hint of, not remorces in the word.

[00:40:59] He doesn't give a shit.

[00:41:01] It's another Disney remorse.

[00:41:03] It's a Disney doesn't give a shit.

[00:41:05] These people were killed in difference and difference.

[00:41:08] Thank you.

[00:41:09] Which could go, which could go too ways?

[00:41:12] Either he has no involvement and good they're gone or he's so high above it that who could get, yeah.

[00:41:22] There's these, these, uh, in great, there you go.

[00:41:27] On Scott.

[00:41:29] You do see your dignitary speaking to the Lord Mayor if that intrigues you by the way.

[00:41:33] No, because he told me he gave me a nod on the other guy.

[00:41:37] Fair enough.

[00:41:37] I'm watching another guy.

[00:41:38] As far as I know, I don't know anything about the Lord Mayor,

[00:41:40] rather than he looks like me and the merciless.

[00:41:44] Like I said, I'm watching old boy because that's who you told me to watch.

[00:41:47] And last, the Lord Mayor appears threatening.

[00:41:49] Then I'm watching old boy.

[00:41:50] I don't even know about the fact guys, it's just the Stewart Chamberlain Stewart.

[00:41:54] Chamberlain, I got Stewart.

[00:41:56] Okay. So I'm focusing on the Chamberlain.

[00:41:58] I'm not sure when I press too much on him.

[00:42:01] There's a scene to, doesn't seem to harass his fish and right now.

[00:42:06] I'm going to be hard for him to object to what we want to do if I just rip his entrails out.

[00:42:11] I mean, sure.

[00:42:13] To whom we end the party.

[00:42:15] Or start one.

[00:42:17] Or start one.

[00:42:20] What are your thoughts of the King?

[00:42:25] He's a good king.

[00:42:28] I want to run him alone.

[00:42:30] That's a better.

[00:42:31] 18 on an insight.

[00:42:33] Like, if you say in that,

[00:42:35] I mean, I'm trying to suggest that whether he actually means good king or, you know,

[00:42:41] I don't know.

[00:42:42] The inflection of he's a good king and tells you he's a king.

[00:42:47] He doesn't really necessarily think he's good or bad.

[00:42:51] He's just existing.

[00:42:53] So if you happen to like the food tonight,

[00:42:57] it would be us to have a deeper conversation.

[00:43:00] I was talking with the stewarder there and he invited me to some council meeting tomorrow.

[00:43:08] But I didn't want to overstep my bound.

[00:43:11] Well, the council meeting is not my place that is with the king and his council.

[00:43:15] No, okay.

[00:43:16] You can speak to a tracks about that if you wish.

[00:43:19] But if you have been invited then, by all means attend.

[00:43:22] Okay.

[00:43:23] Well, I appreciate your time.

[00:43:26] And it kind of gives an odd joy of the party.

[00:43:28] And he just turns, doesn't even speak to the person he was just speaking to and walked away.

[00:43:33] And there's notable that there are guards next to him like the whole time.

[00:43:45] Thank you all for listening.
