[SPEAKER_07]: Hello and welcome to Adventures in Aurelia, a podcast where five friends sit around the table and record themselves playing Dungeons and Dragons.

00:35.388 --> 00:38.191
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm Caitlyn, I play Tempest, a Water Genocie Ranger.

00:39.052 --> 00:42.796
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm Kristen, I play Aerial, and as Mar-Divine Soul source source.

00:43.697 --> 00:46.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Shantel and I play Canina, a teafling sorcerer.

00:47.021 --> 00:48.963
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm Kristen, I play Rim, a human paladin.

00:49.723 --> 00:52.026
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm Damien, I'm the DM.

00:52.867 --> 01:01.484
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Steven John drew from the official guinea geek.com show, a weekly geek news podcast that is a part of the guinea geek network, just like the show you're checking out now.

01:13.117 --> 01:21.496
[SPEAKER_05]: Previously, on Adventures in Aurelia, Kenina delivered the riddive deed she had written for the party to lower light to pass on to the guild masters.

01:22.278 --> 01:30.737
[SPEAKER_05]: She then met up with the rest of the girls for dinner, while Remained buried inside of books, maps and charts, planning for the upcoming journey to the Faveale.

01:31.274 --> 01:41.447
[SPEAKER_05]: After eating, Kineen and Tempest made their way up to the guild master's chamber for their meetings, over in which Kineen a good luck with whatever Bury has in store for her, before leaving the city with Tempest.

01:42.208 --> 01:48.276
[SPEAKER_05]: After everyone split up, Ariel realized she had some things to plan with the group, and went to write everyone a note for the following day.

01:48.977 --> 01:54.784
[SPEAKER_05]: Meanwhile, Kineen made the bold decision to bond with Fiyak, with Dwighten's blessing.

01:56.907 --> 02:04.675
[SPEAKER_05]: Rem, it's starting to get pretty deep into the evening, somewhere around the 830 9 o'clock range.

02:05.536 --> 02:08.439
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you going to stay out in the great hall all night?

02:09.139 --> 02:20.331
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he'll pull up the maps and stuff and anything that along to the guild, he'll return to their shells and then he'll pack up his notes and take them into his room.

02:20.831 --> 02:21.632
[SPEAKER_06]: He's ready for bed.

02:22.372 --> 02:25.299
[SPEAKER_05]: Ariel, would you have delivered your notes already?

02:25.339 --> 02:37.449
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, basically, after everybody had left and she was sitting there by herself, she just got up and went and wrote, she didn't write really long letters, so she wrote some quick little notes and stuck them underneath all the doors.

02:38.071 --> 02:38.592
[SPEAKER_08]: And then,

02:38.572 --> 02:50.785
[SPEAKER_08]: She, I didn't get to say, she's gonna the rest of the night just get her bag prepped in ready for morning and then go through all that ritual stuff that she had got and put it in little containers and stuff so it's all in her bag.

02:51.526 --> 02:52.707
[SPEAKER_08]: Probably grab a book and read.

02:54.129 --> 03:05.541
[SPEAKER_05]: Ram, as you walk into your room, your foot scuffs a little bit as you kick a folded up letter across your bedroom floor and being down and picking up, read it.

03:05.656 --> 03:07.110
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, it's a letter from Ariel.

03:07.878 --> 03:09.473
[SPEAKER_05]: Another horse!

03:10.415 --> 03:10.915
[UNKNOWN]: Ugh.

03:12.257 --> 03:16.881
[SPEAKER_05]: So as you kind of, you read the note from Ariel, you drop your stuff off.

03:16.921 --> 03:20.584
[SPEAKER_05]: What is, what is Rem's plans with the rest of its night?

03:20.604 --> 03:23.327
[SPEAKER_06]: Who, right now, he's probably just going to stretch out on his bed.

03:24.288 --> 03:27.631
[SPEAKER_06]: He's been kind of sitting and hunched, writing it candlelight for a while.

03:27.671 --> 03:29.753
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's just going to relax basically.

03:30.393 --> 03:34.157
[SPEAKER_05]: He's planning to stay away because he's just kind of relaxed until he falls asleep.

03:34.277 --> 03:37.500
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll be just relaxed till he passes out.

03:37.520 --> 03:37.620
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

03:37.640 --> 03:40.202
[SPEAKER_05]: Tempest.

03:40.520 --> 03:46.226
[SPEAKER_05]: You and Oborin arrive at the edge of a forest in area.

03:46.727 --> 03:51.071
[SPEAKER_05]: You can see the trees get denser the deeper that you look into the woods.

03:51.952 --> 03:53.514
[SPEAKER_05]: Oborin kind of stops.

03:54.155 --> 03:59.421
[SPEAKER_05]: It felt a little bit abrupt, but it seems like he kind of knew exactly where he was trying to end up.

04:00.482 --> 04:02.824
[SPEAKER_05]: How good would you say you are?

04:02.884 --> 04:03.605
[SPEAKER_05]: It's tracking.

04:04.426 --> 04:05.147
[SPEAKER_07]: Pretty damn good.

04:06.048 --> 04:06.709
[SPEAKER_05]: Alright then.

04:07.650 --> 04:08.991
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna eat those words.

04:10.675 --> 04:13.057
[SPEAKER_05]: The bear that we seek is in these woods.

04:13.978 --> 04:24.048
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, a tempest is going to start scanning the ground and looking for tracks that seem appropriate for an ancient grizzly bear.

04:24.909 --> 04:30.514
[SPEAKER_05]: If you travel far enough to the west that you reach the road, you've gone too far.

04:31.555 --> 04:36.480
[SPEAKER_05]: If you travel far enough to the east that you reach the sea, you've gone too far.

04:37.355 --> 04:47.793
[SPEAKER_05]: As you travel north, if you find yourself on the opposite end of this forest and into a clearing, you've gone too far.

04:49.195 --> 04:52.641
[SPEAKER_05]: If you find yourself back here, you've also gone too far.

04:52.661 --> 04:53.663
[SPEAKER_07]: Thanks for the pointers.

04:54.885 --> 04:57.069
[SPEAKER_07]: Should I roll a survival check now?

04:57.349 --> 04:58.992
[SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead and roll a survival check.

05:03.207 --> 05:04.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that a one?

05:04.831 --> 05:05.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that a one?

05:05.734 --> 05:06.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that a one?

05:06.275 --> 05:07.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you eat those words?

05:07.338 --> 05:07.899
[SPEAKER_01]: It's already?

05:07.919 --> 05:08.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Two.

05:11.308 --> 05:12.411
[SPEAKER_06]: What's the total?

05:12.993 --> 05:13.654
[SPEAKER_07]: It doesn't matter.

05:13.694 --> 05:14.557
[SPEAKER_07]: Four?

05:14.637 --> 05:15.760
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it does matter.

05:15.880 --> 05:16.422
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, seven.

05:17.605 --> 05:17.705
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

05:17.725 --> 05:19.309
[SPEAKER_07]: It's still not great.

05:20.183 --> 05:27.700
[SPEAKER_05]: You start looking around at the ground around you trying to find the tracks of what you imagine an ancient grizzly bear would leave.

05:28.622 --> 05:31.849
[SPEAKER_05]: And over and looks at you, tilts us head a little bit.

05:32.571 --> 05:37.281
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think you're going to find tracks out here, the bear stays in the woods.

05:37.953 --> 06:03.741
[SPEAKER_07]: Tempest will straighten up a little embarrassed just like the point and move a little farther in maybe like five minutes worth a Okay, so you'd be walk a pace about five minutes into the woods to the go ahead and roll another survival check 22

06:04.666 --> 06:29.931
[SPEAKER_05]: you begin making your way deeper into the forest and after a few minutes you feel like you're far enough in to start actually looking for tracks now and what you do see is you do see like parts of bushes that have been like completely trampled over like a very large creature.

06:30.485 --> 06:51.517
[SPEAKER_05]: Just walk through the bushes as if they weren't even there, and you bend down at one of these areas and see in what was once some dried mud, a bear print that is about probably two to three times the size of your hand.

06:52.639 --> 06:53.961
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me a perception check.

06:55.704 --> 06:56.425
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, nine.

06:56.776 --> 07:00.704
[SPEAKER_05]: You you lean down and you're investigating this this track.

07:01.265 --> 07:02.788
[SPEAKER_05]: What would your next move be?

07:05.013 --> 07:16.557
[SPEAKER_07]: Determine which direction the tracks are going and try and find the path that it's making to follow that.

07:16.840 --> 07:41.269
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, based on being able to have seen a print, you can look at where the heel of the paw was and where the claws are, and you can imagine that it was going, in this case, would have been towards the west kind of the north west direction, and as your turning trying to find evidence of where it came from, you realize something.

07:42.590 --> 07:43.371
[SPEAKER_05]: You're alone.

07:44.414 --> 07:53.311
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, I'll, you know, do a quick scan, but figure that over and it's probably posted up in a tree just watching me.

07:54.273 --> 08:02.389
[SPEAKER_07]: He seems like that kind of guy, but I don't think he would have abandoned me, but he seems that I've been told that he's very, uh,

08:02.369 --> 08:06.899
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't even know what I don't I don't know what a good word for it.

08:06.919 --> 08:09.564
[SPEAKER_07]: He spends a lot of time not being seen.

08:10.045 --> 08:15.737
[SPEAKER_07]: So I guess he's good at observing without being observed.

08:16.072 --> 08:25.349
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you begin following the tracks, you're kind of looking from, you've seen the track, you know, which direction it is.

08:25.529 --> 08:35.447
[SPEAKER_05]: And even though areas of the ground aren't all, you know, previously softened muddy enough for you to be able to clearly fall the path.

08:35.427 --> 08:51.357
[SPEAKER_05]: One thing that you do notice is the stride of this creature, like, from where it looks like one paw was placed, and then the next time it was placed down, is somewhere in the 7-9 feet span.

08:52.079 --> 08:53.942
[SPEAKER_05]: Wait, it's very tall.

08:54.935 --> 09:00.322
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're following along, parts that you can see branches snapped off of trees.

09:00.603 --> 09:09.054
[SPEAKER_05]: Some of the smaller trees you can see have been like, leaned over and their roots are coming out of the ground.

09:09.935 --> 09:12.719
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me an investigation check.

09:14.081 --> 09:17.145
[SPEAKER_07]: Nine, you don't have a good investigation.

09:17.716 --> 09:45.495
[SPEAKER_05]: Thankfully, this is a relatively large and obvious thing for you to see, and because it's starting to get later, you guys walked for a couple of hours, you're probably in about 930, 10pm at night, so the sun has gone down, you're in the tail ends of dusk, so it's starting to get to a point that you're going to be struggling to see here really soon, without doing something to light your way.

09:45.475 --> 10:10.504
[SPEAKER_05]: But because it has gotten so dark, something that stands out to you is a larger tree that you can see the lighter white inside of the bark from a scar of where a large clawed creature went and raked its claws down the tree.

10:11.277 --> 10:22.256
[SPEAKER_05]: the claw marks that you see, you look up and they start somewhere between 15 and 20 feet up the tree.

10:22.317 --> 10:35.580
[SPEAKER_05]: You can see that the the the width of these claws remind you of what Rem's Warpick looks like and you hear off in the distance.

10:35.864 --> 10:55.429
[SPEAKER_05]: a low grumbled between a gravel and a roar give me a perception check 24 with a roll that high you can almost directly pinpoint that it's it carried far.

10:56.070 --> 11:03.880
[SPEAKER_05]: If the pace that you've been taking it's probably going to be about another 45 minutes to the north east of where you stand right

11:04.602 --> 11:05.002
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh wow.

11:05.763 --> 11:11.529
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, uh, I'll look around and see if I can see over on again.

11:11.589 --> 11:14.912
[SPEAKER_07]: And if not, just start.

11:15.633 --> 11:21.839
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll let you carry that perception check over as you're looking for over in and you do not see him.

11:22.379 --> 11:26.764
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, then I will just see anything that looks like it could have been him.

11:27.885 --> 11:31.929
[SPEAKER_07]: Then I'll just start walking in the direction that I know the sound came from.

11:31.969 --> 11:33.310
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

11:33.914 --> 11:41.967
[SPEAKER_05]: As you begin traveling that direction, as the forest starts getting to be a bit denser, as time goes on in tonight.

11:42.166 --> 11:45.332
[SPEAKER_05]: It's getting difficult for you to see.

11:45.392 --> 11:50.761
[SPEAKER_05]: You're realizing that you can't see more than like five or 10 feet in front of you.

11:50.781 --> 12:05.608
[SPEAKER_05]: Your eyes have been adjusting a little bit as darkness has started to fall, but the forest itself is so dense that you're not getting any like mood light to shine through other than small patches.

12:06.398 --> 12:08.542
[SPEAKER_07]: Tempest is definitely kicking herself right now.

12:09.023 --> 12:11.948
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, why couldn't I have been more of a morning person?

12:11.988 --> 12:13.571
[SPEAKER_07]: This would be so much easier in the daylight.

12:13.812 --> 12:16.717
[SPEAKER_07]: Ah, ah, why did I agree to do this at night?

12:16.737 --> 12:18.761
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't have dark vision like everybody else.

12:20.484 --> 12:30.482
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I, Tempest will, um, she's got her, her moon touch short sword and it's sheath at her side as she always does when she is.

12:30.462 --> 12:42.924
[SPEAKER_07]: adventuring and will just sort of pull it out an inch or two, like she's done in the past to act as a bit of a, it's a dim light.

12:44.267 --> 12:51.880
[SPEAKER_05]: And it does illuminate the area around you for the,

12:52.366 --> 12:58.843
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, so, it's bright in a 15 foot and then dim for additional 15.

12:58.983 --> 13:07.405
[SPEAKER_07]: So I think we decided that if I'm only cracking it open, it would be about five feet.

13:07.385 --> 13:08.486
[SPEAKER_05]: of light.

13:09.027 --> 13:19.579
[SPEAKER_05]: So you've got light for about five feet, which as you're walking through the forest is making it harder to see where you're going.

13:19.759 --> 13:28.389
[SPEAKER_05]: You're starting to make a lot of your progress just based off of where you remember hearing that sound and doing a lot of it by feel.

13:29.290 --> 13:35.957
[SPEAKER_07]: So you said I was about a 35-minute walk away from where it was when I first heard it.

13:36.477 --> 13:46.116
[SPEAKER_05]: About another 10, 15 minutes so you've gotten about half the way roll perception 13

13:46.653 --> 13:55.763
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't know if it's just that this creature that you're tracking has moved in the time that you've started to walk in this direction.

13:56.764 --> 14:12.340
[SPEAKER_05]: But every once in a while you still hear, like, you're in a forest that has been largely cleared out of other creatures, so you're in a very quiet forest, which means that sound is traveling.

14:12.320 --> 14:17.186
[SPEAKER_05]: a decent amount, however it is reflecting and bouncing off of trees.

14:18.327 --> 14:28.700
[SPEAKER_05]: You can like hear as it sounds like it's tearing branches off of trees off to the side and you're getting off course just a little bit.

14:28.800 --> 14:32.405
[SPEAKER_05]: It's moving further to the east than to the north from where you were.

14:32.465 --> 14:38.412
[SPEAKER_05]: What is Tempest's goal as you start to get closer to it though?

14:38.999 --> 14:46.278
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, the goal of tonight was to track it down and sort of get a better idea of what's going on with it.

14:46.498 --> 14:54.038
[SPEAKER_07]: So I would say my goal for tonight is at least to get eyes on it from a safe distance.

14:54.018 --> 14:58.625
[SPEAKER_05]: If it bleeds, we'll see you in the house safe of a distance, you can get to it.

14:58.925 --> 15:02.991
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we're considering, I can almost where you can only see fub out.

15:03.292 --> 15:08.159
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it's been a while because you said it's starting to get harder and harder to move around.

15:08.800 --> 15:12.365
[SPEAKER_07]: I would open up the sword a little bit more.

15:13.106 --> 15:16.030
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, what are you going for with opening the sword up more?

15:16.431 --> 15:17.933
[SPEAKER_07]: Dim light and 15 feet?

15:18.554 --> 15:44.899
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, now that you've opened up the sword to have dim light for about 15 feet, it is getting easier to track where like branches have been broken or torn off because like the lighter white inside of the tree almost shines and reflects the light back you because there is so little light in this area and they're surrounded by dark bark.

15:46.465 --> 15:49.328
[SPEAKER_05]: Kina, we're only a constitution saving throw.

15:49.589 --> 15:50.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, bye.

15:52.572 --> 15:54.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saving throw 19.

15:55.576 --> 16:06.008
[SPEAKER_05]: So the man that you've seen constantly around fiat through these fissions got extremely angry and accusatory at you.

16:06.509 --> 16:09.152
[SPEAKER_05]: And so long this axe down at you.

16:10.674 --> 16:13.317
[SPEAKER_05]: And as it would have made contact.

16:13.550 --> 16:22.969
[SPEAKER_05]: the scene of being in a ruined desert town disappears and you find yourself on a familiar mountain clearing.

16:24.672 --> 16:26.315
[SPEAKER_05]: So you've made it this far.

16:27.558 --> 16:28.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Indeed I have.

16:29.241 --> 16:35.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm feeling quite well as this all been part of the trial so far.

16:35.993 --> 16:43.440
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, this is the trial of Barney with all of the German wars.

16:45.041 --> 16:54.970
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't understand all of the magic behind us to know why this is what you're going to.

16:54.990 --> 17:04.498
[SPEAKER_02]: But what I can tell you is not meant to try since heaven has been to succeed.

17:04.478 --> 17:13.594
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen what seems like the creation of Fiac, and there was a man who seemed to wield it.

17:13.914 --> 17:17.581
[SPEAKER_01]: It seemed quite upset at the concept of me taking Fiac.

17:19.023 --> 17:20.766
[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds like...

17:21.370 --> 17:23.235
[SPEAKER_02]: Everach?

17:23.376 --> 17:36.392
[SPEAKER_02]: The first leader of the occ, the first two-bond with me, the dragon rider that is responsible for charging the coin.

17:36.372 --> 17:57.669
[SPEAKER_02]: That rage and anger and hate made them a powerful war, but it also led to being incredibly selfish and controlled and wanting to have this powerful himself instead of for the good of his people.

17:57.689 --> 18:00.895
[SPEAKER_02]: And as he spoke with the other right,

18:01.550 --> 18:14.690
[SPEAKER_02]: He was able to convince many of them that they should be the ones in charge and the ones that have the power that no one could stand against them.

18:14.710 --> 18:22.883
[SPEAKER_02]: The most part they were right to why it took the gods that had been involved to be able to end this.

18:23.285 --> 18:26.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Does he still hold influence over the axe?

18:27.351 --> 18:30.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like they were quite connected.

18:30.255 --> 18:43.234
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he still a present factor with all these visions that I've been seeing?

18:43.585 --> 19:01.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen him in the visions, and he's seen very convinced when he interacted with me that he was able to witness me going throughout the history of fiock, and it was like I said very angry and territorial about the axe.

19:02.030 --> 19:17.946
[SPEAKER_02]: It is possible, it's similar to me, its soul was locked away somewhere outside of the mortal realm, and outside of where human eye could be trapped in full moon.

19:18.348 --> 19:21.492
[SPEAKER_02]: somewhat I can feel within myself.

19:22.493 --> 19:24.656
[SPEAKER_02]: My bond is broken.

19:24.676 --> 19:28.000
[SPEAKER_02]: I am no longer bound to come from now on.

19:28.020 --> 19:31.404
[SPEAKER_01]: What happened to Kevraang towards the end of the Dragon Wars?

19:32.906 --> 19:43.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you said the gods had to be involved in the separation of dragons and the dragon-funded writers, but do you know specifically what happened and what became of them?

19:43.238 --> 19:52.550
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not know what's been seen, but our world fights between the dragonlands and the gods.

19:53.692 --> 20:06.929
[SPEAKER_02]: And as they were able to overpower us, that is when I entered my lack void of sleeping without a dream.

20:08.191 --> 20:11.355
[SPEAKER_02]: For an unknown length of time.

20:11.335 --> 20:30.639
[SPEAKER_02]: Every once in a while, since the Dragon Wars have opened, someone manages to find a piece of feel and reawakant this bond, and I did glimpses over a white once again.

20:30.659 --> 20:33.803
[SPEAKER_01]: I see, so how do we continue this trial?

20:33.823 --> 20:36.887
[SPEAKER_01]: I take it from what you've said that I'm not quite done here yet.

20:37.795 --> 20:43.183
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to, there are still a few stages of the crime that we've been doing.

20:43.203 --> 20:46.909
[SPEAKER_05]: And he bows to you once again.

20:48.712 --> 20:51.015
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we'll embrace yourself and flex a bit.

20:51.996 --> 20:52.637
[SPEAKER_01]: She's ready.

20:53.839 --> 20:55.562
[SPEAKER_05]: You take four points of fire damage.

20:56.363 --> 20:57.224
[SPEAKER_01]: It's better to sing each.

20:58.687 --> 21:03.253
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me a constitution saving for her.

21:03.274 --> 21:04.275
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a knife.

21:05.842 --> 21:14.919
[SPEAKER_05]: As the mists of this mountain seem engulf you, and the last thing you see is, Doiton Bowing is headed you.

21:15.801 --> 21:24.177
[SPEAKER_05]: You find yourself in a stone chamber, and you can hear off to your left, a sound of fire.

21:25.740 --> 21:28.525
[SPEAKER_01]: As always, Kineen has drawn towards the flames,

21:29.112 --> 21:39.781
[SPEAKER_05]: As you turn, you see, Beery standing in the vault of the Guild Hall, standing in front of a dome of fire.

21:40.583 --> 21:44.674
[SPEAKER_05]: In front of a pedestal where Fiyak was once held.

21:44.654 --> 22:04.893
[SPEAKER_05]: You can see some synges on Beirie's robes from where it looks like this dome of fire that's around you has lashed out at the surrounding area and has inflicted some moderate damage at her as well.

22:04.913 --> 22:12.720
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Kineena just uninstinctled reach out toward Mr. Speary and she's feeling like, oh, are you okay?

22:12.937 --> 22:15.245
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, wait, aren't you in there?

22:15.265 --> 22:18.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that was where I grabbed the axe.

22:19.318 --> 22:20.040
[SPEAKER_03]: How are you here?

22:21.565 --> 22:22.729
[SPEAKER_01]: Your guess is as good as mine.

22:23.532 --> 22:25.478
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd see what's happening.

22:26.774 --> 22:28.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, about that!

22:30.999 --> 22:31.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Kenny Nellol.

22:32.260 --> 22:33.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of shuffle her feet.

22:33.502 --> 22:35.544
[SPEAKER_01]: I may have made a bit of a decision.

22:35.564 --> 22:44.174
[SPEAKER_01]: I got ported to the mountain side, where I usually meet with Doyton in dreams.

22:44.974 --> 22:45.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.

22:46.416 --> 22:48.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, we've initiated a sort of trial.

22:49.800 --> 22:51.702
[SPEAKER_03]: What sort of trial?

22:51.884 --> 22:58.611
[SPEAKER_01]: Heh, well the the channel involves me becoming a bit of a, um, um, button-bonded with the axe.

22:59.612 --> 23:01.414
[SPEAKER_03]: You're bonding with the axe.

23:02.395 --> 23:07.020
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, I figured that if anybody was to, it's better me than anybody else.

23:07.740 --> 23:09.843
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's what else my thought process there.

23:10.063 --> 23:13.026
[SPEAKER_03]: And you weren't even going to ask us first.

23:13.847 --> 23:19.933
[SPEAKER_01]: I did consider it, but I figured that this was as good as a chance as any.

23:20.318 --> 23:29.211
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, um, I think it's too late to stop that now, uh, are you okay?

23:30.112 --> 23:33.798
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, look at herself, Patterself Dan be like, yeah, no, I'm doing good.

23:34.679 --> 23:35.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you still in there?

23:36.782 --> 23:39.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you know, just pinch herself?

23:40.180 --> 23:43.805
[SPEAKER_05]: You take one point of piercing down.

23:43.825 --> 23:45.027
[SPEAKER_09]: You're seeing me!

23:45.047 --> 23:46.710
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm the one with you, Carlos!

23:47.090 --> 23:50.395
[SPEAKER_01]: Which you call a pinched him.

23:50.415 --> 23:54.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, piercings probably the best out of those.

23:54.601 --> 24:01.171
[SPEAKER_01]: She'll just be like, it seems for whatever reason I have been ported out here, and I don't seem to have the axe anymore.

24:01.231 --> 24:02.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure.

24:02.132 --> 24:03.775
[SPEAKER_03]: Why are you here?

24:04.796 --> 24:05.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

24:05.317 --> 24:05.738
[SPEAKER_03]: Now it's here.

24:06.579 --> 24:08.061
[SPEAKER_03]: I figured you're still in there.

24:08.598 --> 24:09.379
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I thought.

24:09.399 --> 24:13.606
[SPEAKER_03]: I was told the trial wasn't done, so it's part of the trial then.

24:14.447 --> 24:17.172
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems interesting.

24:18.053 --> 24:20.557
[SPEAKER_01]: You think I should check up the access to them?

24:20.577 --> 24:25.285
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to have to have a bit of a conversation when you come back.

24:26.166 --> 24:32.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Canina will shuffle her feet a bit and just look slightly abashed, but she stands firm by her decision.

24:36.543 --> 24:44.953
[SPEAKER_05]: You take 14 points of fire damage as you find yourself in a different stone area.

24:45.253 --> 24:58.468
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like the walls of the vault and everything above the floor just kind of faded away and new walls formed further off in the distance in their place.

24:59.349 --> 25:01.892
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me a perception check.

25:04.066 --> 25:09.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh, I knew the eyeball diets would be good for perception, right?

25:09.110 --> 25:09.170
[SPEAKER_05]: 17.

25:10.131 --> 25:23.023
[SPEAKER_05]: It's hard to say that you recognize this place because it's not somewhere that you've spent time before, but you've happened almost like vague familiarity with it.

25:23.943 --> 25:33.752
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you be here around a little bit closer, you realize that this is a place of dwarven construction.

25:34.238 --> 25:51.419
[SPEAKER_05]: As you start to look around, you see a recognizable kind of orange yellow glow off through one of the archways, and you can hear the sound of almost stone rubbing over stone.

25:52.560 --> 25:56.685
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess Kenny and Will approach the glow off in the archway.

25:57.475 --> 26:17.222
[SPEAKER_05]: you walk through the archway, you see that you're once again in the area that you had seen previously with a lava flow that is powering some metal forges, but one thing that stands out is different to you now.

26:17.202 --> 26:26.054
[SPEAKER_05]: is as your eyes follow the like lava flow against where it is going towards its source.

26:26.835 --> 26:45.201
[SPEAKER_05]: You can see that sitting on top of this like stone made aqueduct is a red glowing orb which you recognize as being the orb that was previously placed inside a fiox claw.

26:45.940 --> 26:47.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Canina will approach the orb.

26:48.623 --> 26:56.590
[SPEAKER_05]: You walk along the edge of this lava flow towards where the orb is.

26:56.630 --> 27:04.017
[SPEAKER_05]: And you reach out to it into what is lava.

27:05.178 --> 27:08.181
[SPEAKER_05]: As you reach out for this orb, Romeo Constitution saving throw.

27:09.522 --> 27:11.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember our house rules for inspiration.

27:11.985 --> 27:14.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I need to apply it before or after?

27:14.847 --> 27:42.475
[SPEAKER_01]: you can apply it after okay yeah I will use my inspiration to pick up the all right well uh or do you 10 he's rolling dice you take 19 points apart

27:42.877 --> 27:47.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was quite a big hit, so Kina will win, but this community is still conscious.

27:47.263 --> 27:47.624
[SPEAKER_01]: She is.

27:48.545 --> 27:50.528
[SPEAKER_05]: She is conscious and looking to grab that orb.

27:50.588 --> 27:57.898
[SPEAKER_05]: As you reach out to the orb and this light, you're reaching your hand in towards this lava.

27:58.399 --> 28:08.253
[SPEAKER_05]: It runs up your arm and it gulfs you and you find yourself on the floor of the vault, wielding fiock.

28:08.914 --> 28:09.475
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes!

28:10.180 --> 28:25.817
[SPEAKER_05]: The way I picture it is that you're like on your knees and hands with both of your hands gripped around the handle that makes up fiock and this dome fades around you.

28:25.897 --> 28:27.859
[SPEAKER_05]: It falls back into the floor.

28:27.920 --> 28:31.684
[SPEAKER_05]: You will immediately take two levels of exhaustion.

28:32.304 --> 28:33.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, the fair.

28:34.347 --> 28:40.153
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're like coming to

28:40.640 --> 28:45.687
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're back in the right spot this time.

28:45.767 --> 28:47.009
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, fiock is still there.

28:48.792 --> 28:50.955
[SPEAKER_03]: What happened?

28:53.038 --> 28:56.042
[SPEAKER_05]: And you here in the back of your mind.

28:57.104 --> 28:58.105
[SPEAKER_05]: Congratulations.

28:59.187 --> 29:02.952
[SPEAKER_02]: You have argued with me, Fiock.

29:03.792 --> 29:10.106
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think Kina a bit out of it because she is now just felt the weight of the world pressing down on her.

29:10.407 --> 29:15.278
[SPEAKER_01]: She's looking a little worse for where and she feels so tired now.

29:16.040 --> 29:19.849
[SPEAKER_01]: She's just like, it seems like I've, I've done it.

29:19.909 --> 29:22.695
[SPEAKER_01]: I've successfully bonded with the axe.

29:23.418 --> 29:27.102
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's a good thing that you're resistant to fire damage.

29:27.122 --> 29:29.384
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very good thing, yeah.

29:29.404 --> 29:32.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't rolling too hard for my constitution saving throws.

29:33.048 --> 29:35.670
[SPEAKER_01]: I stayed up with four hit points to my name.

29:38.013 --> 29:40.415
[SPEAKER_05]: Rham, you've laid down for a while.

29:41.556 --> 29:46.962
[SPEAKER_05]: You've, your back is eased up a little bit as you're no longer like sitting, hunched over working.

29:47.922 --> 29:48.463
[SPEAKER_05]: What are you doing?

29:49.675 --> 30:02.530
[SPEAKER_06]: probably just mentally like making checklists and going over them, trying to make sure he's squared away for what he needs to have and double checking in his own head if he's taking care of the things he needs to do.

30:03.612 --> 30:09.358
[SPEAKER_05]: Does he stay kind of in his room until he just decides to fall asleep?

30:09.899 --> 30:10.840
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, pretty much.

30:11.201 --> 30:11.481
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

30:12.085 --> 30:13.227
[SPEAKER_06]: He has no reason to go out.

30:13.868 --> 30:16.372
[SPEAKER_06]: Tempest is gone, aerials in her room.

30:17.213 --> 30:19.857
[SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't know that Kineen is burning herself alive.

30:21.960 --> 30:22.581
[SPEAKER_08]: I have a question.

30:22.641 --> 30:28.390
[SPEAKER_08]: When does Ariel get to discover like learn how to do rituals?

30:28.572 --> 30:46.028
[SPEAKER_05]: The game doesn't go heavy into the mechanics of how I imagine that it's something that area will have spent time like, you know, you're in the guilt, you've got access to the library and teachers and other resources.

30:46.068 --> 30:58.360
[SPEAKER_05]: So I imagine that it's one of those things that that throughout the time you've been here, you've talked to like Kenina and other people to

30:58.340 --> 31:05.552
[SPEAKER_05]: on the process of learning how to use a spellbook for learning rituals.

31:06.334 --> 31:15.910
[SPEAKER_08]: So the like the rituals that I picked, are we just saying that those are in the scroll or like how they're ones that you've researched in chosen.

31:16.092 --> 31:24.664
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, then that's probably what Ariel's gonna be doing is writing down the couple that she has found into her scroll.

31:25.625 --> 31:31.333
[SPEAKER_05]: Alright, so Ariel is spending her time going through a number of books that she collected from the library.

31:31.353 --> 31:42.268
[SPEAKER_05]: And like, I imagine that in the few days that you've been back, you've started to pick up a couple books and learn a little bit about the process of

31:42.248 --> 31:43.650
[SPEAKER_05]: casting these rituals.

31:43.670 --> 31:52.603
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's how you knew for the spells that you wanted to learn what ingredients to get when you were at Gizgig's today.

31:52.643 --> 32:01.976
[SPEAKER_05]: And now that you've successfully found the ingredients, you've decided that you've got your your scroll, your spell books, so you've got something to copy them into.

32:02.036 --> 32:11.209
[SPEAKER_05]: So now it's time for you to go through like there's what it probably is being in the the Guild Hall is there is a like

32:11.189 --> 32:28.000
[SPEAKER_05]: section in the library that is like starter spells for ritual castors volume 37 that you picked up and brought with you and so you've got the scroll rolled out on do you have like a writing desk or what it just be like the floor?

32:28.688 --> 32:46.258
[SPEAKER_08]: um she has a small table so she probably would have just moved the small table over to her big computer and it's just plopped in the chair and like hunched over the little table right you have like your copy of the beginner's ritual spell book

32:46.238 --> 32:55.108
[SPEAKER_05]: open and you're copying the inscriptions and the incantations that you need to know to be able to cast your rituals.

32:55.769 --> 33:10.947
[SPEAKER_05]: And since their rituals you're going to have, like the sigils that you need to draw out and the ingredients and where they go, is Ariel going to attempt to cast a ritual before she goes to sleep tonight?

33:11.399 --> 33:29.830
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I think while she's getting her scrolls already and getting all the information in there, she's curious enough in such an animal lover that she's gonna mess around with her finding familiar ritual and see if she can do it.

33:30.974 --> 33:35.121
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, so Ariel begins casting fine familiar.

33:35.161 --> 33:37.845
[SPEAKER_05]: You've got all the diagrams you need for it.

33:37.925 --> 33:42.933
[SPEAKER_05]: You've picked up the brazier and the incense that you need to consume to be able to cast it.

33:43.514 --> 33:51.167
[SPEAKER_05]: If someone were to walk by the room right now, they'd wonder, you know, what's, well, you're in somewhere through the other people do magic.

33:51.247 --> 33:56.115
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure they understand what's happening, but the people walk in by, just like smell incense burning.

33:57.076 --> 33:57.657
[SPEAKER_05]: Someone.

33:57.637 --> 34:03.465
[SPEAKER_05]: Someone's getting the familiar right now.

34:03.485 --> 34:11.195
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't have a familiar picked out, and since this is her first time, do I need to pick one for you?

34:11.656 --> 34:15.982
[SPEAKER_08]: I kind of want to roll and see what I decide.

34:16.503 --> 34:16.903
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

34:17.644 --> 34:19.867
[SPEAKER_08]: So I'll just start at the top of list will be one.

34:20.768 --> 34:20.868
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

34:23.252 --> 34:24.994
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a nine.

34:25.750 --> 34:28.513
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh no, it's a poisonous snake.

34:32.858 --> 34:37.123
[SPEAKER_05]: So Ariel begins conducting her ritual.

34:37.644 --> 34:41.188
[SPEAKER_05]: She has the the brazier of incense set in the center.

34:41.508 --> 34:50.779
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, Ariel cleared off the floor so that she could take like the charcoal and start drawing out the diagram.

34:50.759 --> 34:54.925
[SPEAKER_05]: needed to cast the the fine familiar ritual.

34:55.406 --> 35:02.336
[SPEAKER_05]: And you place your brazier in the center of it, filled it up with the required amount of incense.

35:03.337 --> 35:14.353
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you go over the incantations and the hand motions needed the incense,

35:14.333 --> 35:38.669
[SPEAKER_05]: go from smoking to being immediately consumed in a flash, and there is a pop, an audible pop, and coiled up inside this brazier, is a small white with kind of yellow rose goldie speckled through its scales, snake.

35:39.310 --> 35:41.033
[SPEAKER_05]: It picks its head up.

35:41.013 --> 35:44.502
[SPEAKER_05]: and turns around slowly and ends up locking eyes with aerial.

35:45.204 --> 35:45.746
[SPEAKER_03]: Hello?

35:45.786 --> 35:47.510
[SPEAKER_08]: You talk!

35:48.734 --> 35:50.398
[SPEAKER_03]: You brought me here.

35:51.155 --> 36:04.934
[SPEAKER_08]: I did, um, Ariel's a little bit intimidated because she has read about snakes when all of her rings about animals and she does know that there's poisonous ones.

36:05.114 --> 36:18.192
[SPEAKER_08]: Is this one that looks familiar to something she would have seen in a book or is this like a not as common or not something that actually exists in the world kind of snake?

36:18.172 --> 36:24.859
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not something that Ariel immediately recognizes for anything she's read.

36:24.879 --> 36:34.510
[SPEAKER_05]: There's similarities to it, but the way that it's colored and everything seems very unique.

36:37.053 --> 36:38.394
[SPEAKER_08]: What kind of sneak are you?

36:40.276 --> 36:42.559
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a spiritual sneak.

36:43.467 --> 36:47.451
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, do you exist elsewhere besides, like, right now?

36:47.612 --> 36:48.733
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you existed before?

36:49.474 --> 36:51.596
[SPEAKER_08]: Or did I just, like, create you?

36:51.636 --> 36:53.698
[SPEAKER_08]: Or, what, what happened?

36:54.539 --> 36:55.921
[SPEAKER_03]: You've pulled me here.

36:56.702 --> 36:57.783
[SPEAKER_08]: Where did I pull you from?

36:57.823 --> 36:59.445
[SPEAKER_03]: The spirit realm.

37:00.546 --> 37:01.447
[SPEAKER_08]: Have others pulled you?

37:02.328 --> 37:03.870
[SPEAKER_08]: Not that I can remember.

37:04.931 --> 37:05.331
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

37:06.332 --> 37:13.120
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you have a name from wherever you are from?

37:13.555 --> 37:16.078
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like the stat block for it, too.

37:16.218 --> 37:17.339
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a tiny snake.

37:18.221 --> 37:26.731
[SPEAKER_05]: So like, I'm thinking kind of like gardener's snake at the largest or one of cornstakes, cornstakes are the real tiny ones.

37:26.871 --> 37:28.052
[SPEAKER_05]: Like that sized.

37:29.434 --> 37:29.914
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

37:30.936 --> 37:33.058
[SPEAKER_08]: So I guess you're mine now.

37:34.059 --> 37:35.101
[SPEAKER_05]: Will you summon me?

37:36.803 --> 37:37.864
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you eat things?

37:38.625 --> 37:39.145
[SPEAKER_05]: I can't.

37:40.086 --> 37:42.229
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, what do you like?

37:42.918 --> 37:47.684
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, in the morning, I'm going to be going for a pretty long walk.

37:48.625 --> 37:49.486
[SPEAKER_04]: Do I get to go with you?

37:50.648 --> 37:52.189
[SPEAKER_08]: You want to go with me?

37:53.451 --> 37:54.733
[SPEAKER_04]: I can stay here, it's fine.

37:56.154 --> 37:59.198
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh, I might be able to find crickets along the way.

37:59.258 --> 38:00.660
[SPEAKER_08]: I can bring one of my jars.

38:01.581 --> 38:05.946
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, sure, you can, you want to, okay, you can go with me.

38:06.327 --> 38:07.288
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.

38:07.387 --> 38:18.730
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, I'm, I'm gonna go back to reading and stuff now, um, I don't know what you want to do, but yeah, um,

38:19.047 --> 38:19.929
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you like a pillow?

38:20.009 --> 38:21.892
[SPEAKER_08]: I can put a pillow right there on the floor.

38:21.952 --> 38:23.856
[SPEAKER_08]: You can curl up in it.

38:23.896 --> 38:25.539
[SPEAKER_08]: Where do you what do you like sleeping on?

38:26.761 --> 38:27.963
[SPEAKER_04]: I like soft things.

38:28.504 --> 38:30.147
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, and I'm just cold.

38:30.668 --> 38:33.494
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm in a grab and hard.

38:34.235 --> 38:38.102
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm in a grab a bites the edge of the brass brazier.

38:38.656 --> 39:05.929
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I'm gonna like take the brass braids you're very carefully and just try to tip it So I can just slither out of the brass braids you're just on to the floor Yeah, okay, I'm just carefully you tip it out onto the floor It kind of curls up around itself a couple times and rest its head over like the rest of its body It's tiny little eyes are blinking at you

39:05.993 --> 39:18.446
[SPEAKER_08]: I'll take one of the big pillows because my comfy chair has three or four pillows can relax into, so I'll take one of those and I'll just like, set it on the ground and look down at it and be like, yep.

39:18.466 --> 39:23.491
[SPEAKER_08]: And then go back to my gathering, all of my stuff.

39:23.551 --> 39:34.482
[SPEAKER_05]: If you go back to that, you're all over the rest of its body as it makes its way towards the pillow that you just put on the ground next to it and climbs up onto the pillow and curls up into the center of the pillow.

39:34.934 --> 39:40.861
[SPEAKER_05]: It lays its head back over its body in your direction and planks it you know.

39:41.061 --> 39:46.767
[SPEAKER_08]: She finishes what she's doing and then she leans back and just puts her book up over her face so she can't say the snake.

39:48.869 --> 39:57.939
[SPEAKER_05]: Ram, you've laid in bed for a while and like your back is starting to relax a little bit and ease up.

39:58.400 --> 40:04.907
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you planning to do anything before you like a fall asleep?

40:05.427 --> 40:13.395
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so it's some point whenever it would naturally come to random, then you fall asleep.

40:13.882 --> 40:31.697
[SPEAKER_05]: As you drift off, you hear this sound before you kind of see anything, it sounds like a slow flow of water that every once in a while has the sound of a bubble popping.

40:31.717 --> 40:33.799
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh no, back in the bathroom.

40:35.180 --> 40:43.888
[SPEAKER_05]: The next thing that kind of hits you is this accurate smell that almost burns your nostrils.

40:43.868 --> 40:56.746
[SPEAKER_05]: And you begin to look around and see yourself in like a decaying and withering forest area.

40:56.766 --> 41:09.403
[SPEAKER_05]: The ground beneath you is covered in dead leaves and underneath you can feel it's like hard packed like it doesn't see much natural rainfall.

41:09.383 --> 41:25.047
[SPEAKER_05]: The sound where you could hear that slow flowing water, you look over and you can see like a oily sheened stream that has kind of a a hazy creene riding on top of it

41:26.562 --> 41:29.947
[SPEAKER_05]: And then you hear, behind you.

41:30.848 --> 41:36.195
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and now, turn slowly in the covers you'll be.

41:37.177 --> 41:47.811
[SPEAKER_05]: And you turn and the first thing that you see is like the collapsed corner of a large building and continue looking.

41:47.791 --> 42:03.522
[SPEAKER_05]: and you can see where like the the window is shattered and partially caved in and then you see a large double door that's one is falling off its hinges inside and the other half of it is barely hanging on

42:03.502 --> 42:14.853
[SPEAKER_05]: and you recognize a ruined destroyed sort of church building and inside kind of its head is leaned down.

42:15.514 --> 42:31.129
[SPEAKER_05]: You see a very large green-scaled creature, a large spined frilled crown runs up its nose and over down its head.

42:31.109 --> 42:39.681
[SPEAKER_05]: And you can see further inside its large wings are tathered and it has a long, lie body.

42:40.562 --> 42:41.063
[SPEAKER_06]: Who are you?

42:42.324 --> 42:43.226
[SPEAKER_03]: Who are you?

42:43.526 --> 42:46.891
[SPEAKER_03]: To that lie, for an introduction.

42:47.772 --> 42:53.239
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, an introduction would be you telling me who you are, and then I'll tell you who I am.

42:53.259 --> 42:54.461
[SPEAKER_06]: I am.

42:55.723 --> 42:56.063
[SPEAKER_06]: Nim.

42:57.285 --> 42:57.605
[SPEAKER_06]: Nim.

42:58.046 --> 42:58.487
[SPEAKER_06]: Nim.

42:58.507 --> 43:00.930
[SPEAKER_06]: I am Rin.

43:03.172 --> 43:03.868
[SPEAKER_05]: Line.

43:05.129 --> 43:10.214
[SPEAKER_05]: It takes a minute before you start to really notice it.

43:11.215 --> 43:19.983
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's as they reach the name, Mim, that you feel that filigrid pattern on your hand.

43:20.623 --> 43:25.608
[SPEAKER_05]: Start to ache and heat up and burn again.

43:25.628 --> 43:27.970
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, he's gonna try to ignore the pain for now.

43:28.010 --> 43:28.951
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not showed off.

43:29.651 --> 43:34.596
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, can I do like a history check to see if I remember reading

43:34.576 --> 43:34.936
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

43:37.179 --> 43:37.599
[SPEAKER_06]: 13.

43:38.440 --> 43:43.346
[SPEAKER_05]: So yes, you do recognize them from the tablet.

43:44.087 --> 43:54.439
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so remote just, you know, kind of think about that for a moment and then he'll be like, Nim, the green dragon that was spoken of on the dragon tablet at the dwarven kingdom.

43:55.620 --> 43:56.902
[SPEAKER_02]: I am here, man.

43:57.643 --> 44:00.566
[SPEAKER_06]: I am green dragon.

44:00.586 --> 44:01.427
[SPEAKER_06]: What is this place?

44:02.568 --> 44:04.110
[SPEAKER_06]: This is where I am.

44:05.542 --> 44:14.738
[SPEAKER_06]: currently in history, and where is this place?

44:16.421 --> 44:26.479
[SPEAKER_02]: This is more of some sort of temple, and appears that you can.

44:27.581 --> 44:28.663
[SPEAKER_06]: Where is your writer?

44:29.251 --> 44:30.673
[SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead and roll me in D-20.

44:31.394 --> 44:33.537
[SPEAKER_05]: Stuff like D-20.

44:33.557 --> 44:34.037
[SPEAKER_05]: 16.

44:35.319 --> 44:38.644
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got to override her.

44:38.664 --> 44:40.686
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to force some time.

44:41.327 --> 44:43.010
[SPEAKER_06]: What happened to her?

44:43.030 --> 44:45.633
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been separated.

44:46.775 --> 44:48.978
[SPEAKER_03]: And the next is in line.

44:49.979 --> 44:55.967
[SPEAKER_03]: Has not shown itself where we... Missy.

44:57.128 --> 45:09.806
[SPEAKER_05]: And as NIMS talking, you don't know if it's from the like not just fumes of being in this place or just the the general way that you feel being here.

45:09.946 --> 45:23.305
[SPEAKER_05]: But you start to feel nauseous and you can you can feel this pressure and pain building like right behind your left eye socket.

45:23.285 --> 45:30.213
[SPEAKER_06]: So, Rims going to still try to ignore me means stoic-looking as if things aren't bothering him.

45:30.994 --> 45:31.875
[SPEAKER_06]: Why am I here?

45:33.097 --> 45:39.784
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I want to meet the person to try to take a door to... Gortem.

45:39.804 --> 45:42.808
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that the name of the blade from my previous dream?

45:43.949 --> 45:45.391
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the...

45:45.411 --> 45:47.333
[SPEAKER_06]: Finally.

45:47.353 --> 45:48.735
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think from...

45:49.559 --> 45:52.844
[SPEAKER_05]: as you're thinking, trying to figure out what to say next.

45:53.505 --> 45:59.594
[SPEAKER_05]: You fall, strange to say unconscious, since the last thing you know is that you fell asleep, but you fall unconscious.

46:00.896 --> 46:01.898
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

46:01.918 --> 46:07.206
[SPEAKER_05]: So you're state of sleep, just fade into an utter blackness.

46:10.692 --> 46:13.897
[SPEAKER_05]: Tempest, I need you to roll me a survival check.

46:14.958 --> 46:15.499
[SPEAKER_05]: 14.

46:16.103 --> 46:20.731
[SPEAKER_05]: You drew out your moon, touched short sword so that you could see a little bit further away.

46:21.433 --> 46:28.526
[SPEAKER_05]: And continued listening to the sounds of branches snapping trees, getting pushed out of the way.

46:28.566 --> 46:38.584
[SPEAKER_05]: And you align yourself with what is like directly behind the path that you think this creature is walking.

46:38.564 --> 46:40.707
[SPEAKER_05]: so that you can start to follow it.

46:41.228 --> 47:07.643
[SPEAKER_05]: And in the light of your short sword, you can see relatively freshly crunched down like piles of leaves and this this beast's claws are so massive that as it steps forward even though the ground is dry you can see like marks where it's claws raked across the heart ground and still left of

47:07.825 --> 47:17.918
[SPEAKER_07]: Dumpers is definitely starting to get a little uneasy, more than a little uneasy, just thinking of the sheer size of this thing.

47:18.959 --> 47:23.946
[SPEAKER_05]: You have yet to see it in a bad close, but you are drawing close.

47:23.986 --> 47:29.112
[SPEAKER_05]: You're within the hundreds of feet instead of thousands of feet at this point.

47:29.132 --> 47:33.538
[SPEAKER_07]: Do another scan program?

47:33.558 --> 47:34.339
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, role perception.

47:36.833 --> 47:37.093
[SPEAKER_05]: 8.

47:37.974 --> 47:39.215
[SPEAKER_05]: You do not see over him.

47:39.656 --> 47:48.344
[SPEAKER_05]: However, as you are looking around trying to find him, something catches your eye in the light of your short sword.

47:49.104 --> 47:53.449
[SPEAKER_05]: It stands out because there's still a little bit of an eye glint that you catch.

47:54.409 --> 48:02.317
[SPEAKER_05]: And perch should a tree, about 15 feet away from your 20 feet, like right on the edge of where that dim light is coming.

48:03.118 --> 48:05.760
[SPEAKER_05]: You see two eyes in a tree.

48:06.331 --> 48:09.374
[SPEAKER_05]: But animal eyes, not they appear to be animal eyes.

48:09.615 --> 48:11.176
[SPEAKER_07]: Gotcha, gotcha, he's droid.

48:12.157 --> 48:13.118
[SPEAKER_07]: I will take note of that.

48:13.819 --> 48:19.005
[SPEAKER_07]: That something appears to be watching me and continue on the path.

48:20.326 --> 48:20.426
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

48:20.446 --> 48:24.230
[SPEAKER_05]: You continue following where this creature seems to be going.

48:24.290 --> 48:25.972
[SPEAKER_05]: How close do you get to a unit?

48:25.992 --> 48:27.174
[SPEAKER_05]: You're within hundreds of feet.

48:27.214 --> 48:29.436
[SPEAKER_05]: How close do you let yourself get?

48:30.007 --> 48:34.693
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, all of my range of abilities require me to be within 60 feet.

48:35.675 --> 48:45.468
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's, I feel like that would be the knee-jerk reaction for tempests, like trying to get eyes on something.

48:46.390 --> 48:55.322
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, she's got a pretty good idea of like, that what 60 feet is to, because that's when she gets a really good idea of what she's looking at.

48:55.910 --> 48:56.871
[SPEAKER_05]: So it was like your goal?

48:57.092 --> 48:57.372
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

48:58.193 --> 49:05.403
[SPEAKER_05]: As you approach within 60 feet of it, are you trying it all to be stealthy or are you just continuing to track?

49:06.144 --> 49:08.066
[SPEAKER_07]: I would start trying to be stealthy.

49:08.747 --> 49:08.847
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

49:08.867 --> 49:11.911
[SPEAKER_07]: At least not like just tromp and throw.

49:11.971 --> 49:15.656
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm trying to be quieter than it is.

49:16.097 --> 49:20.082
[SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead and roll me a stealth check.

49:23.166 --> 49:23.807
[SPEAKER_07]: Nine.

49:24.412 --> 49:30.401
[SPEAKER_05]: As you get within about a hundred feet of this creature, you still can't see it.

49:31.463 --> 49:34.167
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're trying to be quieter than it is.

49:34.387 --> 49:37.352
[SPEAKER_05]: And you feel like you're doing a decent job of succeeding.

49:38.053 --> 49:40.957
[SPEAKER_05]: And then you notice that it's stopped moving.

49:41.839 --> 49:42.580
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll perception.

49:43.701 --> 49:44.823
[SPEAKER_07]: You're gonna die.

49:44.843 --> 49:45.424
[SPEAKER_07]: Too many.

49:45.444 --> 49:46.426
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's good.

49:46.446 --> 49:48.689
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, well, it was an 18, and then I knocked it.

49:49.490 --> 49:50.672
[SPEAKER_07]: So, 24.

49:51.327 --> 50:20.507
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the 24, you've noticed that it stops, so you stop, and you're listening, and you just hear... And the growl and the sniffing goes from pointing away from you to you, like here this massive head pivoting, as it's growling and just hear more.

50:25.381 --> 50:29.507
[SPEAKER_05]: And you feel the ground shake a little bit as it starts to turn around.

50:33.533 --> 50:37.258
[SPEAKER_07]: At this point, she remembers that she has dark vision as a spell.

50:38.480 --> 50:46.672
[SPEAKER_05]: Does dark vision have any verbal compass?

50:47.593 --> 50:48.975
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're casting dark vision?

50:49.647 --> 51:05.166
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, so it is verbal, somatic, and material, requires all of things, yes, yes, I will, and put away my sword, so hopefully it has a harder time catching me.

51:05.987 --> 51:11.594
[SPEAKER_05]: You cast dark vision on yourself, what's the dark vision spell give you range wise?

51:12.415 --> 51:12.956
[SPEAKER_05]: 60 feet.

51:13.476 --> 51:14.057
[SPEAKER_05]: 60 feet.

51:14.377 --> 51:15.739
[SPEAKER_05]: So I can't see it yet.

51:16.141 --> 51:17.582
[SPEAKER_05]: But you hear it approaching.

51:18.183 --> 51:21.667
[SPEAKER_05]: You imagine that it's about 100 feet away at this point.

51:22.227 --> 51:22.968
[SPEAKER_05]: And it is still...

51:26.271 --> 51:30.456
[SPEAKER_05]: It'll turn 15 degrees to one side.

51:31.397 --> 51:35.401
[SPEAKER_05]: It takes a couple steps forward and then turns back towards your direction.

51:35.441 --> 51:39.945
[SPEAKER_05]: It kind of goes past where it would be pointing directly at you.

51:39.985 --> 51:43.549
[SPEAKER_05]: It gets to about 80 feet away from you.

51:50.718 --> 52:02.590
[SPEAKER_05]: It gets to within 60 feet of you, and you see just right as it enters the range at which you can see this bear's snout.

52:03.331 --> 52:07.955
[SPEAKER_05]: It is it I level with you, and it is the size of a dinner plate.

52:08.996 --> 52:10.738
[SPEAKER_07]: It's I as a size of a dinner plate.

52:11.139 --> 52:13.681
[SPEAKER_05]: No, the tip of its nose.

52:13.761 --> 52:19.527
[SPEAKER_05]: The black spot of its nose is about I level with you and the size of a dinner plate.

52:19.692 --> 52:21.074
[SPEAKER_07]: But it's 60 feet away.

52:21.654 --> 52:21.875
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

52:22.455 --> 52:22.716
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

52:23.717 --> 52:24.238
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you do?

52:24.258 --> 52:26.300
[SPEAKER_07]: 100 cents.

52:27.221 --> 52:28.423
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, what does 100 cents do?

52:29.124 --> 52:39.637
[SPEAKER_07]: Since I'm now in those 60 feet, and I can see it, I immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities, and what it is.

52:40.678 --> 52:48.127
[SPEAKER_05]: Does this have any sort of components to it?

52:48.688 --> 52:49.269
[SPEAKER_05]: No.

52:49.329 --> 52:49.429
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

52:49.932 --> 52:51.856
[SPEAKER_07]: uh, all of the above.

52:51.896 --> 52:57.128
[SPEAKER_07]: Immunity's resistance is of vulnerabilities and what the creature is.

52:57.168 --> 52:58.972
[SPEAKER_05]: None of the above.

52:59.013 --> 53:04.044
[SPEAKER_05]: This is a corrupted ancient dire bear.

53:04.385 --> 53:08.093
[SPEAKER_05]: It is a large beast.

53:08.545 --> 53:38.552
[SPEAKER_05]: it takes another step forward and because dark vision is supposed to be like gray scale you don't see it in color but what you do recognize is that like along the side of its jaw coming around one eye you can see like this broken out branch

53:39.477 --> 53:47.548
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I will also cast primable awareness, all right.

53:47.568 --> 53:57.402
[SPEAKER_07]: Pretty much just to tell if it is undead, because if it's aberration, so I still strike in elemental's faith, he's grounded.

53:58.512 --> 54:11.436
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that what has caused this is not going to fall under any of those things, but because I don't know that it would account for this, I will just tell you since it is unnatural.

54:12.057 --> 54:21.415
[SPEAKER_05]: It appears to be afflicted with some sort of like negative energy almost curse.

54:21.631 --> 54:23.133
[SPEAKER_07]: I feel like that would count.

54:23.494 --> 54:24.876
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why I'm giving it to you.

54:25.597 --> 54:29.824
[SPEAKER_05]: There's probably nothing that the rules would on their own have that would account for this.

54:29.844 --> 54:35.232
[SPEAKER_07]: Also, because this is just a reconnaissance mission, I'm just doing all the stuff to.

54:35.252 --> 54:38.998
[SPEAKER_05]: But also, it's in range to see or for you to see it now.

54:39.012 --> 54:42.198
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm, which means it can see me clearly.

54:42.218 --> 54:43.841
[SPEAKER_07]: That's not what it means.

54:44.362 --> 54:45.685
[SPEAKER_07]: Ooh, what does eyes look like?

54:46.126 --> 54:49.873
[SPEAKER_05]: Dark, black, spots, ish, you see that in real scale.

54:50.073 --> 54:51.095
[SPEAKER_07]: They're not foggy, white.

54:51.837 --> 54:53.159
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll for initiative.

54:53.179 --> 54:54.642
[SPEAKER_07]: Ha ha ha ha!

54:57.288 --> 54:57.869
[SPEAKER_05]: what did you get?

54:57.889 --> 54:58.891
[SPEAKER_07]: 13.

54:59.813 --> 55:03.079
[SPEAKER_05]: This bear is 55 feet away from you.

55:03.680 --> 55:09.852
[SPEAKER_05]: It is deeply smelling the air in your direction and continues to be approaching you.

55:10.493 --> 55:11.034
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you do?

55:11.555 --> 55:19.971
[SPEAKER_05]: You've cast your primeval sense and you have an idea of what's going on with this bear but you

55:19.951 --> 55:27.561
[SPEAKER_05]: have not fully engaged it yet, and it does not seem like it knows exactly where you are yet.

55:28.322 --> 55:32.507
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to start very quietly moving.

55:33.389 --> 55:33.789
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

55:34.310 --> 55:36.393
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you going to be stealthfully moving away?

55:36.433 --> 55:37.975
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

55:37.995 --> 55:38.295
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

55:38.535 --> 55:47.427
[SPEAKER_05]: You'll move it half your movement.

55:47.879 --> 55:49.200
[SPEAKER_05]: Which direction do you move?

55:49.781 --> 55:51.082
[SPEAKER_05]: It's to the northeast of you.

55:51.823 --> 55:52.744
[SPEAKER_07]: Southwest, then.

55:53.345 --> 55:55.587
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so kind of staying in line with it.

55:55.747 --> 55:57.629
[SPEAKER_05]: But just 15 feet back?

55:58.009 --> 55:58.830
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that half your movement?

55:59.351 --> 55:59.571
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

55:59.991 --> 56:00.312
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

56:00.852 --> 56:03.315
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I'll do another scan for Obron.

56:04.236 --> 56:06.238
[SPEAKER_07]: Or do I have to wait until the bear moves?

56:07.299 --> 56:09.661
[SPEAKER_05]: You backup 15 feet.

56:10.182 --> 56:16.468
[SPEAKER_05]: You can no longer see the bear and you start scanning around for Obron for a near perception check.

56:17.680 --> 56:18.381
[SPEAKER_07]: 15.

56:19.263 --> 56:24.571
[SPEAKER_05]: You do not see Oberyn, but you see the shine of some eyes out.

56:24.592 --> 56:25.573
[SPEAKER_05]: Ten feet up a tree.

56:25.914 --> 56:26.395
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you?

56:27.276 --> 56:29.339
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, is it the bear's turn now?

56:29.740 --> 56:33.967
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, because I have what I want to do next, but it we're in initiative.

56:34.107 --> 56:34.508
[SPEAKER_07]: So

56:35.180 --> 56:41.529
[SPEAKER_05]: It continues to approach as you're scanning around to see if over in this year by.

56:41.549 --> 56:46.055
[SPEAKER_05]: And you notice that it's now within about 45 feet of you.

56:46.296 --> 56:47.117
[SPEAKER_07]: So I can see it again.

56:47.658 --> 56:49.621
[SPEAKER_05]: You believe you can see it fully again.

56:49.661 --> 56:52.745
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a large, hulking mass.

56:52.765 --> 56:56.310
[SPEAKER_05]: Like the nose was at about eye level.

56:56.290 --> 56:59.494
[SPEAKER_05]: and you see it's back, hunches up another couple feet.

57:00.415 --> 57:05.301
[SPEAKER_05]: It's at least seven feet wide from what you can see.

57:06.022 --> 57:07.925
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a lumbering in your direction.

57:08.726 --> 57:11.309
[SPEAKER_05]: Still just sniffing for you.

57:12.190 --> 57:13.051
[SPEAKER_05]: I did your turn.

57:13.071 --> 57:14.973
[SPEAKER_07]: How far away was the tree that overrinsed?

57:15.314 --> 57:16.015
[SPEAKER_05]: About 10 feet.

57:16.475 --> 57:17.356
[SPEAKER_07]: Any 10 feet up?

57:18.798 --> 57:19.319
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, yeah.

57:19.920 --> 57:22.703
[SPEAKER_07]: Too bad I can't jump that high.

57:22.801 --> 57:26.105
[SPEAKER_05]: There are trees within, you know, a few feet of you.

57:26.926 --> 57:33.175
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I will continue stealthily backing up to the tree that over in his end.

57:34.056 --> 57:38.041
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so you step a few feet over to the side, or only a stealth check.

57:40.244 --> 57:40.644
[SPEAKER_07]: 18.

57:41.225 --> 57:45.391
[SPEAKER_05]: You have stepped over to the tree that you have seen a creature in.

57:46.412 --> 57:47.914
[SPEAKER_05]: You have five feet of movement left.

57:48.333 --> 57:50.295
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's start going up the tree.

57:50.416 --> 57:51.557
[SPEAKER_05]: We start climbing up the tree.

57:51.977 --> 57:53.419
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

57:53.439 --> 57:57.444
[SPEAKER_05]: You have, uh, there is no, like, you do have a climb speed.

57:58.185 --> 57:59.406
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.

58:00.047 --> 58:02.130
[SPEAKER_05]: If you don't have a climb speed, then it will just be a chance.

58:02.150 --> 58:04.232
[SPEAKER_07]: So, yeah, no, I don't think I have a climb speed.

58:04.272 --> 58:05.153
[SPEAKER_07]: I have a swim speed.

58:06.034 --> 58:06.855
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

58:06.995 --> 58:09.478
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me an athletic show.

58:09.498 --> 58:09.599
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.

58:10.179 --> 58:10.660
[SPEAKER_07]: 17.

58:11.341 --> 58:14.104
[SPEAKER_05]: You climb about five feet up the street.

58:18.404 --> 58:23.351
[SPEAKER_05]: The bear continues to walk in the last direction that you were at because you move kind of to the side.

58:23.912 --> 58:27.096
[SPEAKER_05]: And it is now about 30 feet away from you.

58:27.977 --> 58:28.939
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me a stealth check.

58:33.705 --> 58:34.186
[SPEAKER_07]: Ah, 13.

58:35.167 --> 58:39.313
[SPEAKER_05]: It's now with him 30 feet of you and it takes a deep breath in in turns.

58:39.333 --> 58:41.737
[SPEAKER_05]: And you feel like it's looking directly at you.

58:42.698 --> 58:43.399
[SPEAKER_05]: It is your turn.

58:46.332 --> 58:48.635
[SPEAKER_07]: Ah, I'm gonna look at Oberyn.

58:49.016 --> 58:51.299
[SPEAKER_07]: The owl that I think is Oberyn.

58:52.180 --> 58:56.005
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh.

58:56.025 --> 58:56.105
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.

58:56.125 --> 58:57.066
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks down at you.

58:57.147 --> 58:58.168
[SPEAKER_07]: I found it!

58:59.910 --> 59:01.012
[SPEAKER_07]: It's cursed.

59:02.013 --> 59:02.674
[SPEAKER_05]: It nods.

59:05.097 --> 59:08.522
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you want to do with this information?

59:08.542 --> 59:09.083
[SPEAKER_05]: It nods.

59:09.944 --> 59:10.445
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

59:10.465 --> 59:11.947
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks at the bear.

59:11.967 --> 59:13.048
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks at the bear.

59:13.973 --> 59:14.834
[SPEAKER_05]: It blinks.

59:16.296 --> 59:16.837
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going.

59:17.197 --> 59:17.798
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks at you.

59:17.978 --> 59:19.820
[SPEAKER_07]: To climb higher.

59:19.861 --> 59:23.085
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, so I can be, I love what it eats me.

59:23.505 --> 59:25.908
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me an athletics check to climb higher in the tree.

59:27.210 --> 59:29.373
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you going to be doing it stealthfully?

59:30.414 --> 59:31.656
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, yes.

59:32.537 --> 59:34.579
[SPEAKER_07]: Also going to use my inspiration.

59:34.639 --> 59:36.942
[SPEAKER_07]: That's better.

59:37.884 --> 59:38.985
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, 15.

59:39.185 --> 59:43.913
[SPEAKER_05]: You've managed to climb to a total of about 15 feet up this tree.

59:45.857 --> 59:49.223
[SPEAKER_07]: You can see I'm above over now.

59:49.243 --> 59:51.447
[SPEAKER_05]: You are above where the bear is.

59:52.448 --> 59:53.290
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that the end of your turn?

59:53.731 --> 59:53.931
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

59:54.652 --> 01:00:02.526
[SPEAKER_05]: It walks over to the tree and it is only a couple feet away from the base of the tree.

01:00:02.506 --> 01:00:09.178
[SPEAKER_05]: It puts a paw on the tree where you just wear, and you just hear this cracking sound.

01:00:09.238 --> 01:00:14.227
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it rakes, it's claws, where you were clung to the tree moments ago?

01:00:15.650 --> 01:00:16.191
[SPEAKER_05]: It is your turn.

01:00:18.134 --> 01:00:19.957
[SPEAKER_07]: I know, I don't know.

01:00:19.977 --> 01:00:21.460
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to hold.

01:00:22.182 --> 01:00:27.207
[SPEAKER_05]: The owl bit was on a branch, just slightly below you.

01:00:27.868 --> 01:00:30.691
[SPEAKER_05]: Hopps and skips, a couple branches up the tree.

01:00:31.432 --> 01:00:33.574
[SPEAKER_05]: It's now about 25 feet into the tree.

01:00:34.415 --> 01:00:35.256
[SPEAKER_05]: Would you like to take a picture?

01:00:35.276 --> 01:00:36.016
[SPEAKER_07]: How tall is the tree?

01:00:36.717 --> 01:00:38.499
[SPEAKER_05]: Like in the neighborhood of 150 feet.

01:00:38.819 --> 01:00:41.262
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, yeah, I'm just gonna climb up higher.

01:00:42.363 --> 01:00:44.485
[SPEAKER_05]: You've reached a point where there are branches.

01:00:45.226 --> 01:00:48.649
[SPEAKER_05]: So you can climb the tree more easily.

01:00:49.370 --> 01:00:51.092
[SPEAKER_05]: But yes, roll me an athletic check.

01:00:51.815 --> 01:00:52.276
[SPEAKER_07]: 18.

01:00:53.057 --> 01:00:55.099
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you attempting to be stealthy?

01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:55.820
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, yes, yes.

01:00:56.080 --> 01:00:57.082
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, roll me a stealth check.

01:01:01.167 --> 01:01:01.868
[SPEAKER_07]: Also, 18.

01:01:02.429 --> 01:01:05.733
[SPEAKER_05]: You climb another 15 feet up the tree?

01:01:06.374 --> 01:01:08.156
[SPEAKER_05]: You're now about 30 feet in the tree?

01:01:08.256 --> 01:01:09.458
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm above over and again.

01:01:10.038 --> 01:01:10.859
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you do anything else?

01:01:11.741 --> 01:01:12.021
[UNKNOWN]: No.

01:01:13.403 --> 01:01:15.966
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, because I don't know what else to do.

01:01:16.267 --> 01:01:42.561
[SPEAKER_05]: You feel the tree sway as the bear puts both of its paws on the tree and you hear this cracking sound as its massive paws dig into the side of it and it scratches down the side of the tree from where it can reach standing from about ten feet below you.

01:01:42.811 --> 01:01:45.495
[SPEAKER_07]: It's very dull.

01:01:46.116 --> 01:01:49.400
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a large creature standing, I though.

01:01:50.421 --> 01:01:51.062
[SPEAKER_05]: It is your turn.

01:01:51.923 --> 01:01:53.225
[SPEAKER_07]: How high up in the tree am I now?

01:01:53.506 --> 01:01:55.028
[SPEAKER_07]: You're about 30 feet.

01:01:55.128 --> 01:01:56.550
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I'll keep going up a little higher.

01:01:57.211 --> 01:01:58.873
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll me another athletics check.

01:01:59.294 --> 01:02:00.856
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I'm being stothy.

01:02:00.896 --> 01:02:01.957
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a nine.

01:02:03.099 --> 01:02:04.381
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, and roll me a stealth check.

01:02:06.463 --> 01:02:08.346
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a 19.

01:02:08.984 --> 01:02:19.314
[SPEAKER_05]: So, you start to reach up and try to take one more step up and your foot slips as you go to push off of the branch below you.

01:02:19.814 --> 01:02:37.911
[SPEAKER_05]: But you've managed to hold grab hand holds above you in two different spots and you catch yourself and it sounds like the noise that you made was not any louder than the bear trying to claw you from above.

01:02:39.713 --> 01:02:40.334
[SPEAKER_07]: 17.

01:02:40.374 --> 01:02:48.167
[SPEAKER_05]: The bear has clawed down the side of the tree and not managed to reach anything.

01:02:48.268 --> 01:02:58.786
[SPEAKER_05]: It hasn't been able to get to where it can really see from what you can tell because it's been doing everything based off of scent so far and feel.

01:02:58.846 --> 01:03:02.532
[SPEAKER_05]: So it puts its front paws down on the ground.

01:03:02.512 --> 01:03:11.962
[SPEAKER_05]: and it gives a slight roar in what feels like frustration and then you're it's still within your dark, dark vision.

01:03:12.583 --> 01:03:18.029
