Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos - The Big Sleep 19

[00:00:18] presents The Big Sleep in Mythos 5, The Adventure.

[00:01:24] Magnus. Sylvie comes to you and says, You know that you know the lay of the palace. If you could do

[00:01:31] me a favor, go out and take the troll. Make sure there's no drunken lingers walking about

[00:01:35] the show. Indicates for you to go to the eastern side of the palace first and make the same

[00:01:44] route. You walk through, come back into the main hall, walk around, go back out and go

[00:01:49] the other direction and sort of figure eight that she takes. Whatever you say babe. She blows

[00:01:54] your kiss. She's smitten. So you said, Left first or right first? Well my left you right

[00:02:05] whatever. I can't remember, by the map I guess we'll call it, we'll call it West.

[00:02:13] Towards all the offices. Yeah. If you were, if the main hall, if I had to redraw that

[00:02:17] I didn't feel like rejoining at, you know, the main hall is of exc where in the middle,

[00:02:21] that direction. For people at home, you can see that direction. That's where the,

[00:02:26] because this is, that's where the offices, some of the, some of the bunks or bunks,

[00:02:30] some of the sleeping chambers for the nobles are there. The captain's office is that

[00:02:38] way, the chapel was down in that corner. We saw the queen. So that's, that's the direction she sent to first.

[00:02:44] And as you do, you do see, you do see a somewhat stumbling,

[00:02:51] um, arcanist wander towards her chambers. I donate knowledge her.

[00:03:01] From a forks location is not consent. Yeah. I do not acknowledge her. So I know trouble when I smell it.

[00:03:09] Despite my drawing, despite my drawing, it is, it is a fairly large area. I mean it's a wide hallway.

[00:03:16] Um, pretty far down in the area that you do know is where the office of the captain is.

[00:03:25] You see, um, other, or rather, ryan heart, um, step out of that office.

[00:03:30] Uh, kind of look left and right close the door and begin making her away,

[00:03:35] down and towards the main hall. Who you haven't seen much of most of the night?

[00:03:39] So is the hall currently empty or the hall is currently empty,

[00:03:43] besides from the guards that stand there as they are supposed to.

[00:03:48] Random guards in the hallway? Well, yes, there, there basically a guard in each corner

[00:03:53] as well as guards patrolling and inside of the main hall where the party is.

[00:03:58] There's eight guards as you were told at a time on duty.

[00:04:03] And the switch, which you were not aware of, the switch did happen earlier than the night.

[00:04:07] That was okay. I think I'll probably start with the chapel then.

[00:04:10] I'll put in there yet.

[00:04:11] I might have a description of that room.

[00:04:14] That would be handy.

[00:04:16] As I said earlier on, uh, left session. This is a investigation slash dungeon cross.

[00:04:21] There are descriptions too some where if not all of these rooms, most of these rooms at least

[00:04:25] Chapel, which number are you? He already said he wasn't doing anything with her dungeon.

[00:04:29] Um, no, you don't want to have a savior later on for me to play as a character

[00:04:33] that's half.

[00:04:35] Half.

[00:04:36] Half.

[00:04:36] Uh, you walk into the chapel.

[00:04:40] Um, the palace chapel features a domed apps with a gold, a gold and a lapar dey

[00:04:46] mosaic of a golden, which was recovered from the ruins of X-Fan's old capital

[00:04:52] not that you know that.

[00:04:55] Um, it's just what I said in the book.

[00:04:58] Um, at this point right now there's no one in here.

[00:05:01] Um, but you do see a single solitary lit candle, which would be if you're a Catholic.

[00:05:07] There's prayer candles usually on a little display that people will light for

[00:05:10] people who have passed or they're Santa Paret.

[00:05:13] Don't they call those Votives?

[00:05:15] Yep.

[00:05:17] Uh, yeah.

[00:05:18] Intimically they're in a group.

[00:05:20] Yeah, it's like a, Lucas is implying a whole lot of story to a single candle burning in a room.

[00:05:27] Uh, apparently.

[00:05:28] Uh, I'll go take a look.

[00:05:31] I don't know if it's Lucas or if it's the story.

[00:05:34] Uh, what?

[00:05:36] The big image of whatever that thing was that you said was plaster across the wall.

[00:05:41] It's a mosaic of Goldoon, which is the, um, whoever that dates the deity of the, uh,

[00:05:49] the main deity in the city.

[00:05:51] Uh, I don't have Goldoon in front of me.

[00:05:53] Um, I may have to.

[00:05:54] That might be even in the player's handbook.

[00:05:56] I'm an archaist.

[00:05:57] I've never heard of Goldoon.

[00:06:00] No.

[00:06:00] Uh, it all takes up.

[00:06:01] Let me see if Goldoon's in this or that might be, that might be, you might be,

[00:06:03] I might be part of this book.

[00:06:05] I'm not an archaist.

[00:06:07] I'm an artifice or completely different mess.

[00:06:11] Dammit, Jim.

[00:06:12] You're legit.

[00:06:13] Page six.

[00:06:16] Oh, God.

[00:06:16] The car is to look at the mosaic.

[00:06:19] See if there's anything interesting in this chapel.

[00:06:23] I believe that was also the same God that was would have been either in the

[00:06:28] Abbey or in the chapel where you guys went to the place.

[00:06:32] Well, Goldoon, uh, G-A-L-D-U-N.

[00:06:35] It is the God of the Sun, this guy, life.

[00:06:38] Neutral good, God.

[00:06:41] Um, you do see, uh, in the mosaic that the, um, the deity that is, um,

[00:06:50] displayed is wearing a, uh, a golden disk that, uh, shows a raid, a large raid sun.

[00:06:57] Yeah, I mean over time you would understand that this is, uh, the singular God of

[00:07:03] Dentans official faith, Dentan is sort of the area.

[00:07:06] Nope.

[00:07:07] I got, uh, I found something vaguely de-indy related but I don't think it is.

[00:07:12] Uh, yeah, it must be specific.

[00:07:13] It's probably my specific to this, uh, series.

[00:07:16] Um, so yes, they're out of the sun sky in life.

[00:07:20] Do I see windows out of this place?

[00:07:23] Um, you might see maybe a couple of, uh, stained glass.

[00:07:32] Oh, maybe something ornate but no, like that's useless.

[00:07:35] No, like standard windows here.

[00:07:37] That is utterly useless for me.

[00:07:39] I mean it's chapel.

[00:07:41] So, um, I can walk on walls.

[00:07:45] So, no.

[00:07:46] See there was an apps?

[00:07:48] Uh, yes, slightly domed apps.

[00:07:52] Show you a slightly domed apps.

[00:07:57] So,

[00:07:58] So,

[00:08:01] uh, given that the queen comes in here all the time.

[00:08:03] Do I see anything?

[00:08:06] That sticks out to me or does this just seem to check?

[00:08:10] Well, let's see what we see.

[00:08:14] To the P's.

[00:08:18] Oh, it was.

[00:08:20] Sorry, good.

[00:08:21] Since this is an audio podcast and they can't see this,

[00:08:26] Let's say middle finger.

[00:08:28] There we go.

[00:08:30] To his point though, it is underpicked.

[00:08:32] It is underpicked.

[00:08:33] It is an alphabet.

[00:08:34] Followed by earthception.

[00:08:37] Plus you're nine that you rolled.

[00:08:39] So what would you get?

[00:08:40] I got a button.

[00:08:41] None of that.

[00:08:42] Uh, no, I mean it's a simple simple DC 10 to kind of.

[00:08:47] Gaze the gauge the room.

[00:08:49] I mean, it doesn't seem as though this is used often.

[00:08:54] Um, but you do notice that there is one.

[00:08:57] And then a new, um, which will be like on the backside of a few.

[00:09:02] Um that has, uh, much more distress to it as if it is one person using that area on a consistent basis.

[00:09:13] As if one person uses it over and over.

[00:09:18] Has that made mentioned.

[00:09:20] Right.

[00:09:22] Well, if there's nothing else interesting here.

[00:09:25] and I can't break into any place with all these cards around.

[00:09:32] I...

[00:09:35] Who's...

[00:09:35] Actually, you know what?

[00:09:36] Let me just check to see if Rax stores open.

[00:09:40] I'm curious.

[00:09:41] I walk out of the chapel, walk over there and test the handle.

[00:09:46] The office store is unlocked, it does open.

[00:09:51] I'll have it at the garden going inside.

[00:09:55] You're sure that you're doing your job.

[00:09:56] I am doing my job.

[00:09:59] Does it cat attack me by chance?

[00:10:01] No, I can't deny it.

[00:10:04] It's a standard office of desk, books, scrolls, paperwork.

[00:10:13] So nothing sticks out.

[00:10:15] Is there a second door in this room?

[00:10:17] There's a door behind the desk.

[00:10:19] I don't remember if there was actual description of this room or not.

[00:10:21] I don't remember if I read it.

[00:10:23] Yeah, because I was in there.

[00:10:24] You were in there but I don't remember if I read it.

[00:10:29] Yeah, okay.

[00:10:30] No, because it goes from 15 to 17.

[00:10:32] There's that...

[00:10:33] Like it tells you that that's his office but there is no actual box of information.

[00:10:38] It's a very standard office.

[00:10:40] Very sparse.

[00:10:42] And there was a second door.

[00:10:44] There's a door in the back...

[00:10:45] Yeah, behind the desk.

[00:10:47] That is locked.

[00:10:48] Let's see if we can pick it.

[00:10:51] That via Dex Check.

[00:10:53] DC's pretty high.

[00:10:55] Cat almost got it.

[00:10:56] Let's see what I get.

[00:10:59] Ooh, that's a loan number but...

[00:11:03] But you said you have these tools.

[00:11:05] I do.

[00:11:06] They give advantage, I believe.

[00:11:07] Are you proficient?

[00:11:08] Yes.

[00:11:09] I am.

[00:11:09] Then you get to add your proficiency.

[00:11:15] Does this consider it a...

[00:11:17] Stealth check or is this considered as a Dex check?

[00:11:21] It's not just a Dex check.

[00:11:21] It's a Dex check to Aki Door.

[00:11:24] So I guess it's plus your Dex plus your proficiency because your profession.

[00:11:27] 10?

[00:11:28] Not enough.

[00:11:29] His role was an 18 in the midst of it.

[00:11:32] Or all a 35 to kick the door in.

[00:11:34] You're not in here.

[00:11:36] So it is...

[00:11:37] It is unfortunately very difficult...

[00:11:43] I searched the office perky because I have fingers.

[00:11:49] You don't find any key you won't find any keys in here.

[00:11:53] It really is very sparse.

[00:11:57] You might find a few shekels inside of a drawer.

[00:12:00] You might, you know, like a few pennies.

[00:12:04] It's really all paperwork.

[00:12:06] He seems to be a very organized person.

[00:12:10] I suppose I'll just make sure everything's all nice and tidy and leave the room.

[00:12:15] You do so.

[00:12:17] Does the cat want to come with?

[00:12:19] So he's not locked in here anymore?

[00:12:20] I got him.

[00:12:21] You got him?

[00:12:22] Awesome.

[00:12:24] In that case, I will continue my rounds.

[00:12:29] Hmm...

[00:12:29] See if I can check in with anybody.

[00:12:32] You do this thing.

[00:12:34] We will move to an expression.

[00:12:37] As dinner sort of dies down, plates are being gathered.

[00:12:43] Thomas walks to the goal with another...

[00:12:45] ...another goblet of blood, fresh blood.

[00:12:49] Yep.

[00:12:49] He hands it to you.

[00:12:56] When you take it, you do notice that there is a note of extra.

[00:13:05] A lot.

[00:13:09] You're providing plot to the barbarian?

[00:13:14] I will look at said one.

[00:13:14] I'll add a lot of plot to everyone.

[00:13:17] The note says to meet him in the cellar in 20 minutes.

[00:13:26] How long does rage last?

[00:13:34] I will move in that direction.

[00:13:38] Cool.

[00:13:39] We're going to come back.

[00:13:43] Let's probably pull it back, your treat.

[00:13:46] Are you monitoring the room, right?

[00:13:51] Yeah.

[00:13:52] Keep an eye on the steward primarily.

[00:13:55] Yeah.

[00:13:56] As dinner has progressed, he does speak to a lot of people.

[00:14:02] You do see him eventually step up to the Lord Mayor.

[00:14:07] And speak to him as close to his ears as he can get to seemingly speak slowly.

[00:14:15] Can't try to get close and over here.

[00:14:20] What would you like?

[00:14:21] Roll-wise.

[00:14:22] Getting close isn't the problem.

[00:14:24] It would be a listen rolled to hear if they hear what he's saying.

[00:14:31] 10.

[00:14:32] It's a little loud in the room.

[00:14:34] You're not really sure what he's talking about.

[00:14:36] But one thing you do notice is that he taps his hip with that flask sense.

[00:14:41] Oh, you're just up here during the conversation.

[00:14:43] Look at the plot!

[00:14:45] And you just sort of see the Lord Mayor not as head and walk away.

[00:14:52] Okay.

[00:14:54] And the steward just sort of looks around and kind of spends around.

[00:14:57] He's smiling, you know.

[00:14:59] Not in the people.

[00:15:00] Looks at you and goes, hey, can you?

[00:15:02] And begins to be under.

[00:15:05] Mingle.

[00:15:06] Where's the king going?

[00:15:07] Me, under.

[00:15:09] The king is continuing to speak to their annual he can walk by.

[00:15:15] Okay.

[00:15:16] Sorry that's a king.

[00:15:18] Lord Mayor.

[00:15:19] Oh, Lord Mayor.

[00:15:19] Oh, okay.

[00:15:21] You may have said Lord Mayor might not be into the Lord Mayor.

[00:15:24] Okay.

[00:15:26] So the Lord Mayor continues to speak to everyone.

[00:15:28] As he goes by.

[00:15:32] Speaking of the king, he does come to the dignity.

[00:15:39] And as loudly as he can to gather attention, praise as the cod.

[00:15:44] Praise the cod!

[00:15:45] Praise cod!

[00:15:47] His queen sits stands very silent next to him kind of looking at the floor.

[00:15:53] I didn't get a praise cod from her.

[00:15:56] Praise my cod!

[00:15:59] Worship the cod!

[00:16:01] And he kind of taps you on the shoulder and leans into you and says, how's it going?

[00:16:07] We have tenuous leads.

[00:16:13] Money's on the Chamberlain Steward, possibly Captain.

[00:16:20] Oh, so kind of.

[00:16:21] He'll take the Arkanaist.

[00:16:23] He almost kind of here.

[00:16:24] I'm gasped a little like.

[00:16:26] And as he kind of looked, he kind of steps back to you and gives you a look.

[00:16:29] As if are you serious?

[00:16:31] Are you sure?

[00:16:33] Like he's at some point in time.

[00:16:35] He's going to need to be convinced that you have enough evidence against someone.

[00:16:40] And he just kind of says, I mean if we just kill him, I'll keep it up.

[00:16:42] Find evidence.

[00:16:43] Let me know before the end of the night.

[00:16:46] I will call on you when I get a moment.

[00:16:48] And he continues to walk.

[00:16:51] We line him up like puarrow and just start hacking.

[00:16:57] Like sooner or later, the problem will be solved.

[00:17:00] If they're all dead, no problem.

[00:17:02] As you, Magnus as you walk back into the, because it's all simultaneous.

[00:17:06] As you walk back into the main hall, you do see dinner is being empty plates are being taken away.

[00:17:13] Fresh glasses of wine or are still are being walked around.

[00:17:20] So if he just kind of gives you a nod.

[00:17:24] You see the cat.

[00:17:26] You know, kind of doing his thing and the king speaking to your fish friend.

[00:17:34] So you can continue on if you wish into the other hall or if you want to talk to anyone before you go.

[00:17:40] Let me know.

[00:17:42] What would you like to do before you continue on your patrol?

[00:17:46] Where's the cat?

[00:17:48] Just I'll on the floor in the middle of everyone.

[00:17:51] Like a mine.

[00:17:51] Like a fucking cat.

[00:17:53] And it'll just need to trip it up.

[00:17:54] Showing you that chocolate starfish.

[00:17:56] Who loves kitty?

[00:17:58] I'll boy that.

[00:18:01] No, I don't wish we turned.

[00:18:02] He's scootier.

[00:18:03] You.

[00:18:04] It's got worms.

[00:18:05] But, uh,

[00:18:10] Make my way towards the goal.

[00:18:13] Okay.

[00:18:15] The goal seems to be heading toward the kitchens but you can catch up with them.

[00:18:18] And you guys can outway anyway.

[00:18:20] You make a verse if you wish.

[00:18:21] Go ahead and roll play a little bit.

[00:18:23] That has to go.

[00:18:26] So I found a locked door.

[00:18:28] Did you want to fix that?

[00:18:32] You see him stare at the goblet and look by you.

[00:18:36] Where?

[00:18:37] Right, Axe's office.

[00:18:40] Next is Chapel.

[00:18:43] Ten minutes.

[00:18:45] The hobby on the other side of the castle.

[00:18:47] Have fun.

[00:18:48] Just like to do anything.

[00:18:49] Did you say that the arbiter was she heading in here?

[00:18:53] Oh yeah.

[00:18:54] Yeah, she wouldn't walk down right before him.

[00:18:55] Okay.

[00:18:56] She's not really been seen tonight.

[00:18:58] So I would have let her go.

[00:18:59] I mean, she's been there.

[00:19:01] No, she wasn't.

[00:19:02] Yeah, you asked about this last session.

[00:19:03] She's been there unmasked.

[00:19:05] No one's really talked to her.

[00:19:07] No.

[00:19:07] I don't think that's-

[00:19:08] I haven't asked about her to talk to her several times and she's not been here.

[00:19:14] I just added that part of the book.

[00:19:16] You asked if she was here and said, yeah, she's walking around.

[00:19:18] She's unmasked?

[00:19:20] Okay.

[00:19:20] Well, then I will just pretend like I made up the part of the night.

[00:19:23] Just added it.

[00:19:24] I think you edited it to change it.

[00:19:29] You're storing a piece of shit.

[00:19:31] I think he was pretty powers and made it up.

[00:19:33] Fake news.

[00:19:34] Hey, I think the idea generated Lucas talking about-

[00:19:37] I think Lucas is having a slight stroke here.

[00:19:40] Of genius.

[00:19:42] You're-

[00:19:43] Yeah, of his genius.

[00:19:44] I mean, you see her.

[00:19:45] Do you like to talk to her, you man?

[00:19:48] Oh, yes.

[00:19:48] He's like your down.

[00:19:48] He's like your down.

[00:19:48] He's like your down.

[00:19:51] Yes, he's like your down.

[00:19:52] It's a rhyme like there's a joke there, but I can-

[00:19:55] Yeah.

[00:19:56] Isn't there?

[00:19:56] Like the kind of like, yeah, that's what-

[00:19:58] Like your penis.

[00:20:01] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:20:04] There.

[00:20:05] Do you like to speak to Ryanheart then?

[00:20:07] Yeah.

[00:20:07] You mean?

[00:20:08] Ryanheart how are you enjoying the evening?

[00:20:11] Ah, as well as I can.

[00:20:14] We've gotten some, I guess.

[00:20:20] Wow, that's the word I want to use.

[00:20:22] Not clues, nice and seriously,

[00:20:23] but information that might lead to somebody in the sort of

[00:20:33] Maving ties to the cult.

[00:20:35] Well, that is the hope.

[00:20:37] We just don't have anything concrete as of yet.

[00:20:43] The strongest bit is possibly the steward.

[00:20:47] Or told something that he's got evidence in the

[00:20:51] kiddie carries.

[00:20:53] Flask.

[00:20:54] Oh, ah, she kind of looks around in season.

[00:20:58] He does take drinks from an on occasion.

[00:21:01] Ah, I noticed the Chamberlain's eyes were very similar to those who have

[00:21:09] uh, imbibed on the drug that folks have been taking.

[00:21:15] The illixir.

[00:21:16] The illixir has been tied to the cult as well.

[00:21:20] He has been known from time to time to unbibed.

[00:21:24] Let's, and we've been told to be wary of, uh,

[00:21:28] Ray back.

[00:21:30] Ray back.

[00:21:33] Ray back.

[00:21:33] Ray back.

[00:21:34] Ray hack.

[00:21:34] Feed.

[00:21:35] More.

[00:21:38] Um.

[00:21:39] Yeah, fuck that guy.

[00:21:41] Uh, she kind of looks and she says,

[00:21:44] That's a surprise.

[00:21:46] Oh, yeah.

[00:21:47] To us as well.

[00:21:49] I suppose it would be the perfect place to hide and, you know,

[00:21:55] plain sight.

[00:21:57] What sort of evidence?

[00:22:00] No, again, we know evidence just information gathered by.

[00:22:08] Uh, fucking cat.

[00:22:12] Uh, I fucking cat.

[00:22:14] Hey detective cat, detective cat.

[00:22:19] He's forgotten your name.

[00:22:20] That's the problem.

[00:22:21] No, no, no.

[00:22:22] I thought you just forgot his name for tonight.

[00:22:23] So do I really want to tell her that we got the information from a cat?

[00:22:26] Like he's trying to put it in a way that doesn't make him sound and saying,

[00:22:30] he could also just say a couple of our colleagues.

[00:22:32] I mean, you don't have to specify who it is.

[00:22:37] I'm not meaning him.

[00:22:38] I mean, the cat that he got the information from.

[00:22:41] Uh, that is a questionable.

[00:22:44] Yeah, that's fair.

[00:22:46] Yeah.

[00:22:46] The information we gathered from asking about other folks.

[00:22:52] Um, that they had suspicions.

[00:22:56] Well, also, also, um, the arbiter race is pushing about even the mayor,

[00:23:03] but my, uh, Spidey sense was an exactly tingling for him,

[00:23:07] but she's the arbiter.

[00:23:09] The Arcanist.

[00:23:10] Oh, the Arcanist.

[00:23:11] That's what I said.

[00:23:13] She kind of chuckled at that.

[00:23:14] She's a bit of a lush, but I'm sure.

[00:23:18] I mean, any any evidence is evidence as long as you can back it up.

[00:23:21] Well, that's the hard part is.

[00:23:24] Gathering evidence in a castle,

[00:23:27] but we don't exactly have full access to.

[00:23:31] Well, you have most of the access to this floor, at least.

[00:23:38] I mean, there are locked doors.

[00:23:41] That's true.

[00:23:43] Um, there's specific locked doors.

[00:23:44] I mean, I'm trying to get into.

[00:23:47] But technically, I mean,

[00:23:49] metaing, I know you've been, but yeah, I don't know if I debrief with you after a

[00:23:55] here room or the order had a conversation at all.

[00:23:57] Well, we did after I talked to the cat.

[00:23:59] Well, you told him who to, what look out?

[00:24:02] Yeah.

[00:24:02] Okay.

[00:24:02] And then after that, I would have gotten into that.

[00:24:04] Yeah.

[00:24:04] You didn't mention anything about the door because I believe it was after.

[00:24:07] No, we're in particular, but, you know,

[00:24:11] I'm, again, I assume there are locked doors that we would not have access to.

[00:24:15] And if anybody was trying to keep information,

[00:24:18] then they would,

[00:24:20] most obviously be behind locked doors.

[00:24:24] That will be true.

[00:24:27] If Ray hack is,

[00:24:29] the viewer suspicious of Ray hack and don't trust him,

[00:24:32] there's a chance that I could get you behind a specific door you're looking for.

[00:24:36] I mean, that would be helpful to at least,

[00:24:39] Chamberlain's office, Stewart's office.

[00:24:41] Clear or chamber, bed chamber, some bed chambers, not all of it.

[00:24:44] Yeah.

[00:24:46] Can we help us clear or confirm?

[00:24:50] I'll do what I can, just tell me what you want to go.

[00:24:54] Now's probably a good time.

[00:24:55] Did you start to about to come out?

[00:24:57] Let's start with Ray hack's office.

[00:25:01] She kind of drops your shoulders a little bit and says I was actually just in there.

[00:25:04] Oh.

[00:25:05] Well, I need some paperwork for some individuals who are in our dungeons at this point.

[00:25:12] That office does have a door behind it.

[00:25:15] That is very well locked.

[00:25:19] Quite certain Ray hack's the only one with the key.

[00:25:22] Unfortunately, that one I can't get you into.

[00:25:24] You would have to pick it or break the door down.

[00:25:28] Unless you had some sort of magical means to get through.

[00:25:32] Gotcha.

[00:25:34] Did you met the Arkinist?

[00:25:38] I could put my foot into it.

[00:25:42] I could ram his head into it.

[00:25:47] I'm pretty sure it won't stand up to fire.

[00:25:51] What about the steward would he have any places?

[00:25:58] There's an office, mostly an accessible that we could access.

[00:26:03] His office I can get you into.

[00:26:05] All right.

[00:26:06] Can we go there now?

[00:26:07] Sure.

[00:26:07] All right.

[00:26:08] She kind of looks around and let's go.

[00:26:11] Do I notice this too talking?

[00:26:13] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:26:14] Okay.

[00:26:14] I want to follow.

[00:26:16] You do that thing.

[00:26:18] You have a cat behind you.

[00:26:23] Oh, really quickly.

[00:26:24] I'm going to hop up on your shoulder from behind.

[00:26:29] And I'm going to just now into here.

[00:26:32] There's probably startling.

[00:26:33] That's how I can.

[00:26:36] The steward was talking to the mayor.

[00:26:40] And the mayor seemed to acknowledge it.

[00:26:44] I'll just nod.

[00:26:46] Understanding instead of speaking out loud.

[00:26:48] Yeah, that makes sense.

[00:26:50] And all right, on your shoulder.

[00:26:55] You guys are on your way down that hallway.

[00:26:59] The seller.

[00:27:01] Okay.

[00:27:01] You walked down.

[00:27:04] There is a guard at the very bottom of the steps.

[00:27:08] As you have asked, and Thomas is looking at casks.

[00:27:14] And clearly pretending to do his job at this point.

[00:27:20] And he looks up at you and says he kind of nudges his head toward the guard.

[00:27:28] I look at the guard.

[00:27:30] Guard looks at you.

[00:27:33] I like it, Thomas.

[00:27:35] He keeps gesturing with his head toward the guard.

[00:27:41] So he seems to be eating wrong with the guard.

[00:27:44] He doesn't want him here.

[00:27:47] I didn't say that I have to understand subtext.

[00:27:50] Cody understands subtext.

[00:27:51] I don't know Cyrus understands.

[00:27:53] I don't know.

[00:27:54] Make an insight check then.

[00:27:56] Roll a die.

[00:27:56] Play the game.

[00:27:57] I don't want to.

[00:27:58] Cyrus believes that I just saw.

[00:28:00] I just saw my sister's found a cult member and it's the scar.

[00:28:04] It's been a couple of times just grabbing by the throat.

[00:28:07] What did you do that for?

[00:28:10] The guy's name is Su Thogwa.

[00:28:14] For names.

[00:28:17] Su Thogwa.

[00:28:19] That's shout out names.

[00:28:20] That's the shorter who.

[00:28:22] Because I was originally thinking about playing the wizard for this game.

[00:28:25] And then I constructed this concept for the barbarian and both Lucas and, or sorry, both Jeff and Schroeder said that I should tell Lucas

[00:28:34] I was playing wizard.

[00:28:37] And then my character's name should be wizard and that my barbarian should just continually

[00:28:42] to make jokes about like casting fireball but all it was was setting himself on fire and leaping at someone.

[00:28:49] Biggs, these grasping hand which is choking someone.

[00:28:53] I mean that works.

[00:28:55] Invisible you throw some on off a cliff.

[00:28:59] That's probably more if work.

[00:29:02] It's very graphic.

[00:29:05] Polymorph.

[00:29:05] Just with sound of catching.

[00:29:07] You hear the sound of crunching bones as I fold someone into the wall.

[00:29:09] They tend to not apply more back.

[00:29:11] Just with that thing back.

[00:29:12] Have you ever seen somebody make a balloon animal?

[00:29:15] Yes.

[00:29:15] Same body.

[00:29:17] You want a sword or a snapping nose?

[00:29:23] I can make snakes all day.

[00:29:28] Look, you want a pole broken?

[00:29:30] Yes.

[00:29:30] He is gesturing to the guard as if like getting the fuck out of here.

[00:29:34] I will not at the guard.

[00:29:37] Who nods back?

[00:29:42] He kind of looks over at Thomas and shrugs and walks up.

[00:29:48] I really get him.

[00:29:52] He goes, he's like, I've been trying to contemplate how to talk to one of you guys about this.

[00:30:02] I'm sure you've heard some rumors about some individuals who've gone missing here in the palace.

[00:30:10] Servants.

[00:30:13] I don't break eye contact with him but I do start to pull out a hand axe.

[00:30:18] He kind of looks at it and goes, I'm not sure if you need that just yet.

[00:30:22] But I like start using the edge of the hand axe to polish my massive claws on my fingers.

[00:30:32] He says, he said, sometimes I go, one of the servants, her name was Olga.

[00:30:39] It was accused of stealing a necklace and she disappeared no long after that.

[00:30:46] But when that happened I was around the entrance area.

[00:30:50] I saw the Lord Mayor into the palace that night, but I never just did see him leave.

[00:30:58] And I sort of went looking for him and I could find him anywhere.

[00:31:06] He was expecting him.

[00:31:09] I think so.

[00:31:10] Anything else?

[00:31:13] Two other servants have gone missing since then.

[00:31:17] Some of the other servants have said that on the night that at least one of those individuals went missing,

[00:31:26] they heard some strange noises on the western side of the palace.

[00:31:31] Some pounding.

[00:31:32] Yeah, but what was the weird noises?

[00:31:35] It sounded like chopping.

[00:31:37] He said.

[00:31:39] Chopin broccoli.

[00:31:44] The western half was this way, right?

[00:31:46] Which was like all the head, which was the more noble areas, the bunks around the other side,

[00:31:51] and where are the guards would stay.

[00:31:53] But in their tower or something over there too, their towers in the front, like guard towers.

[00:31:58] There's two spiral staircases right now in the front door that go up into guard towers.

[00:32:05] But there would be on the side that has the Arcanist Chamber and Rayax area,

[00:32:11] and the Chamberlain's office, the Stewart's office.

[00:32:13] That's where all that stuff is on that side.

[00:32:15] Council chambers up with it as well.

[00:32:18] To eat.

[00:32:20] He says, I don't think they were fired in the middle of the night.

[00:32:25] I think something happened to them here.

[00:32:29] Clearly.

[00:32:31] Yes.

[00:32:32] I don't know if that helps you.

[00:32:35] Or if that just gives you more to do.

[00:32:39] I walk over and put one big massive paw on one of his shoulders.

[00:32:45] I stare like eye contact just inches away from his face.

[00:32:52] Don't die!

[00:32:54] My shoved my goblet back into his hand and I turn around and go back upstairs.

[00:33:00] Fair enough.

[00:33:02] The guard gives you a nod and walks back down.

[00:33:05] He was at the top of the stairs, comes back down.

[00:33:07] Maybe in the kitchen somewhere.

[00:33:09] Somewhere for our enough that you say he's going up the stairs and he's going down the stairs.

[00:33:12] We're on the sideways stairs.

[00:33:14] Got it.

[00:33:15] I slay him.

[00:33:17] If it is a slay he's breaking.

[00:33:20] He's breaking the laws of time and space on the sideways stairs.

[00:33:23] Did I hit crazy stairs?

[00:33:26] Information.

[00:33:27] I want to watch that show now.

[00:33:29] What I want to watch is on his way to the eastern side.

[00:33:35] Doing his figure eight.

[00:33:37] Different guards standing there now.

[00:33:39] Since the guard changes the card.

[00:33:41] Kind of just gives you a nod.

[00:33:45] As you are in servants,

[00:33:47] your doing your job.

[00:33:51] You know that on this side of the building are where the bunk houses would be for the guards.

[00:34:02] As well as servants quarters and dormitories.

[00:34:11] Let's check them out.

[00:34:13] Which one?

[00:34:14] What's closest?

[00:34:17] Well, when you make an L or make an L,

[00:34:19] when you turn to your right, heading south, there are doors on either side of you.

[00:34:23] The left side would be the servants quarters.

[00:34:25] The right side would be where the guard barracks would be.

[00:34:28] Where at least some amount of guards would be sleeping right now.

[00:34:33] Wait in for their shift change.

[00:34:36] Let's check out the servants quarter.

[00:34:38] It's right there.

[00:34:40] There's also Bathroom on this side.

[00:34:43] There's a bathroom on this side.

[00:34:45] Oh, an actual bath room.

[00:34:49] Yeah, you can walk and do the servants quarters quite easily.

[00:34:55] I mean it's a standard.

[00:34:56] What is this?

[00:35:01] Here's about a 15 by.

[00:35:05] 15 by 25 space that has six beds in it.

[00:35:10] And then there's a door that goes into another space that has another six beds.

[00:35:17] It's, they're more like cops really.

[00:35:20] Not very high in here.

[00:35:22] Something got the servants quarters and barracks which has actual guards in it.

[00:35:27] Correct, yes.

[00:35:30] Do I see anything that looks like it shouldn't be here?

[00:35:34] Is it just, you know?

[00:35:37] I'll give you a present in jars.

[00:35:38] I'm going to do an investigate or an investigation check.

[00:35:42] That's better.

[00:35:42] Whichever tire, I'll give you both.

[00:35:44] We want to do it.

[00:35:45] Add them together.

[00:35:46] Oh, give you both.

[00:35:47] World-times.

[00:35:49] Natural 20.

[00:35:50] Natural 20.

[00:35:51] Do I see anything?

[00:35:52] What's this?

[00:35:52] I'm going to do everything.

[00:35:54] A clue!

[00:35:55] I learned everything.

[00:35:56] No, what is this in the room?

[00:35:58] I was just curious.

[00:36:00] That's hard.

[00:36:02] Oh, okay.

[00:36:03] Well it looked like a clotta, but I couldn't tell.

[00:36:06] That was nice looking from far away.

[00:36:08] Yeah, yeah.

[00:36:09] But a few hands holding the heart on.

[00:36:12] Well, call me a little call me.

[00:36:15] So did I just create evidence?

[00:36:18] What's going on?

[00:36:18] The conjured of ghost.

[00:36:21] Cool.

[00:36:21] Yeah, that is right.

[00:36:22] As you're walking around, you see some food that a servant probably shouldn't have.

[00:36:30] Like jerky and things like that because those things would ideally be left in the

[00:36:37] kitchens or in a pantry somewhere.

[00:36:39] You find low-end contraband.

[00:36:42] Things that servants shouldn't be hoarding or keeping them from people.

[00:36:48] You find some love notes between servants and you do find a couple of empty vials that

[00:36:56] have a green tent in them.

[00:36:57] They are empty, but they have a green tent in them.

[00:37:00] That is if stained by something.

[00:37:02] Castles full of methods.

[00:37:04] The whole fucking town is full of fun things do.

[00:37:06] Find any magnum condoms for your magnum dong.

[00:37:11] Those are just always in the pocket.

[00:37:12] Big metal bond.

[00:37:16] Dragon skin, dong.

[00:37:17] Not sure what you're going to do with Sophie.

[00:37:19] I don't know, that's up to you at this point.

[00:37:21] I put it out there and you ignored it.

[00:37:25] So I'm just moving on.

[00:37:25] I didn't ignore it.

[00:37:26] She's, she's completely a kiss.

[00:37:30] How gratuitous do you want to get?

[00:37:32] I'll ring course brothel.

[00:37:34] I'm trying to invest in the work that two of you two won't play since.

[00:37:38] I've seen, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

[00:37:42] Just because I can't imagine how drastically different the tastes are.

[00:37:46] The door opens and it's Sophie.

[00:37:48] I'm a fan of fire, man.

[00:37:50] Like, see, I think Lucas starts as a joke, but Alex takes it completely seriously.

[00:37:55] He takes it to a whole different level that makes Lucas uncomfortable.

[00:37:59] Interesting.

[00:38:00] Yes, you have found vials.

[00:38:05] And no, the cops have any identification for me now.

[00:38:08] No, not of them say, Doc dobeously be nothing like that.

[00:38:12] Such a shame.

[00:38:12] Yeah, be really easy.

[00:38:14] Wouldn't it?

[00:38:16] Yeah.

[00:38:18] I mean, start killing.

[00:38:21] I could just start killing.

[00:38:26] But I'm trying to stay away from the psychomutter or this particular game.

[00:38:33] There.

[00:38:34] Why?

[00:38:35] Murder, hobo, this is a never-

[00:38:37] She doesn't have any other game.

[00:38:37] Because that's usually my go-to character.

[00:38:41] Where your hobo trying to be a dragon, you're already just going to be right?

[00:38:44] There's nothing wrong with being a trope.

[00:38:49] And this time again.

[00:38:51] Cody plays them all the time.

[00:38:53] You live's it.

[00:38:54] They're the best.

[00:38:56] I do it very well, but I'm trying something different.

[00:38:59] That's not.

[00:39:01] So, um, I'll leave the servant's quarters since I know there's drugs here.

[00:39:05] It's not a good job.

[00:39:07] They're not currently being used, and I can't intimidate anybody and to tell me stuff.

[00:39:14] What's go-to bother the guards?

[00:39:17] Uh, yeah, you step out.

[00:39:19] There's a guard that has just opened up one of the door opposite of you and is letting

[00:39:23] another cat go through.

[00:39:26] Do I recognize this cat?

[00:39:28] Yeah, you've seen her.

[00:39:28] I'm coconut people.

[00:39:29] She's been walking around.

[00:39:31] Well, let's see what the cat grows.

[00:39:33] Uh, okay.

[00:39:35] Um, you walk into a room.

[00:39:37] This is room you've seen before.

[00:39:39] Uh, Flynn, it's-it's a 20 by 20 square room with a spiral staircase in one corner that

[00:39:46] will go up to a guard tower.

[00:39:48] Um, and she stands next to another door and kind of scratches at it.

[00:39:53] And kind of turns around.

[00:39:54] I look at you as I have asking you to open it.

[00:39:57] I hope in the door.

[00:40:00] Um, you fool.

[00:40:00] She kind of gets up and as she walks out, she does rub on one leg as if to thank you

[00:40:06] and continues toward the main hall door to where the party would be.

[00:40:13] And sits next to that door until a guard opens it up and lets her in.

[00:40:16] So is there anything else in this room besides the other door that she wanted?

[00:40:20] No, it's actually an empty space with a spiral staircase.

[00:40:22] There's literally nothing in this space.

[00:40:24] What's the space?

[00:40:26] There's a lot of room- there's literally-

[00:40:27] There's literally a room for activities.

[00:40:28] There are one, two, three four rooms in this layout that literally have nothing in them,

[00:40:35] but a door to walk in and out of.

[00:40:37] That's pet mat making.

[00:40:40] So it could be- maybe it's meant to be like a sitting room which-

[00:40:43] Or bad mat reading.

[00:40:44] There's no furniture in the room.

[00:40:46] So if there are clues in there.

[00:40:48] There's literally a corner with a door.

[00:40:51] Actually there's a- there would have been a door to the north of you

[00:40:54] that would have walked into an empty space inside of the servant's quarters.

[00:40:57] There's nothing in it.

[00:41:00] I got the stairs.

[00:41:02] I'm curious.

[00:41:03] Uh, yeah?

[00:41:03] You got the stairs.

[00:41:05] Um, it does kind of lead you to a guard tower.

[00:41:07] Um, so you can kind of see this city at the top.

[00:41:11] There is- there's no guard up there at this point, but...

[00:41:13] Cool.

[00:41:14] Anything else interesting that I can see that I can get access to for up here?

[00:41:18] No.

[00:41:18] I mean, it's a very small space.

[00:41:21] Are there windows?

[00:41:22] Yeah.

[00:41:23] I mean, but it's open.

[00:41:23] They're open windows.

[00:41:26] Fantastic.

[00:41:27] Like, windows you can open.

[00:41:28] It's like an open door.

[00:41:29] That's the only way that you can do.

[00:41:31] Do I see anything else that has windows that I can get to?

[00:41:35] Not from here now.

[00:41:37] Even though I can walk on walls and see things.

[00:41:40] And I'll like- remember, I have spider-clim boots or whatever.

[00:41:44] This is true.

[00:41:45] So I'm curious how to use these to the best effect to sneak into other rooms.

[00:41:51] Um, I'm judging the layout.

[00:41:53] What can I get into?

[00:41:55] What can I call on the fact that they do not give me a second floor map.

[00:41:59] I'm just going to say no, because I don't know what's up there.

[00:42:02] But...

[00:42:03] It does-

[00:42:04] Does Ray Hacks office secret interchamber have a window?

[00:42:09] I don't know.

[00:42:10] That's on the other side of the castle.

[00:42:11] Can I walk over there?

[00:42:12] That's the castle.

[00:42:14] I've got a 35 foot walk speed.

[00:42:16] I can cover some distance.

[00:42:18] You get walking.

[00:42:19] I get walking.

[00:42:20] Nobody's going to miss me.

[00:42:21] I'm a servant.

[00:42:22] Is that the right one?

[00:42:24] That's actually-

[00:42:25] Nobody's going to miss me.

[00:42:34] Thank you all for listening.
