[01:05]
Shit.

[01:09]
All right, well, I have everything I wanted to get from the town itself unless there was like someone more mystical that can like uh give us some hope. Cuz that temple is our whole purpose. We want to we want to get in there. I think like no one here that lives here cares about getting in there.

[01:34]
They're They're just like that's what it is. Right? But we should we should try.

[01:41]
Someone did give a shit about this area at one point in time.

[01:49]
And a giant on your side. Come on.

[01:57]
Sounds like a plan. All right.

[02:04]
And I left. I was on fire. I was on fire. I was on fire.

[02:27]
Sorry, I'm just getting things a little ready here.

[02:32]
What's everybody's doing? What is everybody's has ever have you all agreed on a course of action? I think we agreed on the tower, didn't we? For a giant friend. Yeah, east it is. Sounds good. Are you heading out now? Or are you going to head out? It is after you've been talking you've had you talking with Jeronath. It is about 2:00 in the afternoon.

[02:58]
Paid for a room Is there a benefit to sticking around or might as well head out save some save some time.

[03:16]
So go to the end eat and then head out since we paid for it. I think we already ate. You had you had breakfast. Oh, okay. But you know Yeah.

[03:34]
Okay. Go go go. Eat and head out then?

[03:41]
Yep. All right. Do we want traveling by night into this new direction? Well, we'll just camp when it gets dark. Is there like good places to camp on the way? Do any of us know? Marshals like look pretty tame. Uh probably on the on the edge of the marshes, but not the marshes themselves. So we should time our arrival to to to camp to arrive at the edge of the marshes at nightfall so we have a whole day.

[04:14]
Let's do that.

[04:29]
Okay.

[04:34]
Oh. So if we leave town, we're leaving by 30 gate. Yes.

[04:49]
Unless there's some other combo people want to have in the tab run ready there.

[05:04]
All right, well, let's let's set off then and travel everyone here.

[05:13]
Are we nothing left to do? I think everyone's set out and we need to be talking everybody out.

[05:25]
I think you pretty much yeah you everyone said you said out and you're You we did our tour. Yeah, you got what you need.

[05:39]
I don't have a map for the marshes. I will just say as you Yeah, I know. Sorry. Oh come on. You know what? Let's Let's meet up This is this is push Audrey. Push. Shit Brian. Better than this.

[05:59]
Flavor. Just trying to fix something here. Oh a map one? Okay. No, I'm uh in preparation, that's all. What about that?

[06:15]
See, we weren't supposed to go to the marshes. That's why we didn't find mud in the the temple with the ghost. We felt a goblin. You see? Exactly. Oh, no, hang on a second. You're good. Anyways, no, there there actually isn't any maps for the marshes even in the adventure book itself. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[06:36]
So, so I will No, uh it is Well, we still it was are we are we teleporting straight there or is there any trouble on the way? Well, I'll I'll keep going from from this spot here until for a second. Let me just do one thing real quick.

[07:05]
Oh, you're happy. You're lucky. Nothing happens on the route to the Haunted Marches. So we get to the edge of that. We get to the edge of the marshes. Way laid by bandits.

[07:18]
And you you imagine you you camp uh there's there's the obvious the sounds of the of the night the there's a wolf howling off in the distance there's the crickets uh that are still chirping in the last few days of the um of the season of blooming uh the blooming season and it's it's a very very comfortable warm evening. There's a few clouds.

[07:46]
You can see the half moon of uh half moon of Rothar and the pretty much the full moon of Athar hanging above the Marshlands, which gives it an airy-ish look of sort of an orange. Um no, sort of a bluish look is uh Athar is a bluish moon. Uh Rothar is more of an orange. It has more of an orange hue. So, it's more blue. Uh and there are far of the occasional gases you can see over the marsh lands.

[08:16]
Off in the distance, you can see on the on the far end of the marsh, there is a large mound. It is not a tower. It looks like it was a tower and has since crumbled. We can see it from the edge. You can see it from the edge of the marsh land. As the the tallest thing. So, you know which direction you're going in, you know uh how to get there.

[08:39]
There's like obviously the shrubs, the the the thicker and thinner layers of soil and mud and occasional areas of full on swampish brakish water which you'd have no idea which is if it's going to be thick or thin going through it. Okay. All right.

[09:05]
Uh so when we when you begin in the morning, make sure everybody has zero zero baines on Yeah. Uh, nobody has any um uh Marks can their uh at your beach you're all clear, everyone is all clear, all perfectly healthy. Okay?

[09:31]
Oh, you fuckers. You're so lucky. I'm I'm going to go with it. Like you just want to fail. Like you really want to fail. There no No, there is an there's a random events counter and from one to six nothing happens. All right. Otherwise, I was going to go through the the something does do do you want something to happen?

[09:58]
Cuz I can roll again just so that you have something that happens before you reach the tower. No, I like to be full health. Full health. Let's just go by the rules. Sure. No, okay. I just want to make sure cuz I mean encounters can be interesting. We got all the way back to. You managed to get there to the tower and you you have actually followed um uh You have a You have a staff, right?

[10:28]
You know, I don't think so. No.

[10:34]
No. So you shall not I would like one if I see one. Oh, I I I just thought if you had one but nobody has a staff. Um Okay. So it's who is in the lead? That's what I'm saying in this case. Who is walking in the front of the uh the Well, not me. Not not Satan. I'm a I'm a I'm a weak little mage.

[11:04]
Nick literally is not there. But I'll burn down the Marshals. Honest to shirt. Yeah, and your friends. And your friends, yeah. See, look at me sideways.

[11:20]
All right, one second.

[11:26]
Yeah, the Haunted Marshlands is a vast wetland full of buzzing insects, croaking toads, and squawking marshbirds, low trees with spidery aerial roots form of forest criss-crossed by channels and muddy paths. Okay, I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of so maybe I will be leading for the moment. That's not you, though. You your weakness is you prefer to stay at the at the back. But it's so enamouring. I know. So Oh.

[11:55]
But it always turns into a fight, though, because I like staying at the back. Well, you can you can stay at the back while you are. Yeah, I We'll roll some bases or something. Okay, go ahead, Brian. Sure. Okay, no, actually, yeah. Uh, there are five of you. Right. We're on a path. Uh, I will say according to my list, Jane is uh the top of my list. So, Jane, you were one and two. Uh, Nick's three and four.

[12:27]
Okay, so Jane, you're at the front. I saw this, I think would be right behind you. You're in the middle. And then Nick's and Oliver you're both sort of pulling up the rear and sometimes Nick gets ahead of ahead of Nick.

[12:49]
Uh I'm more behind than Kevin. So, um Jane, can you just roll your intelligence? Just just click on the INT at the top of your among your things. Nope, nope, sorry.

[13:18]
Uh Oh jeez, that was pretty close. So that makes me angry.

[13:26]
Yes, you're actually getting angry because it's taking you longer to get there and then you realize that you because of the some of the trees and such you kind of gone around in circles and you spent an additional hour trying to get there and it's now getting a little dark not darker because it's still summer um but you are getting everyone's getting a little agitated of how long it's going so Yeah.

[13:52]
Actually you're making all of that You're aware now and your awareness has so you've got you find a nice stick a long stick that you can use to poke into the ground so you're not going to fall into any quick sandish or thicker boggier wetland area.

[14:14]
You find an actual path that carries you through the marshes without having to go through anything any deep bracket waters. You also avoid areas where there seems to be like spider webs off of the distance.

[14:32]
You don't meet anybody, but as you get closer and closer to the the tower, you're finally getting close and you can actually you know that you're several feet away and you hear some voices overhead amongst the thicket. Okay. Okay. Um, are they discernible or is like murmuring or Hang on, give me one second.

[14:57]
I just want to make sure I haven't set these up right or P break.

[15:26]
Do you guys hear music? Yep. Yeah, yeah. It's weird cuz I just it just sort of started itself at this point. I need to I'll move you guys to position.

[15:44]
Do you have a map for the marshes? No, I don't have a map for the marshes, but I do have a map for where you guys come out.

[16:03]
All right, here we go. I'll wait till Jeff's coming back for break and then I'll we'll launch the next map. Okay.

[16:30]
Looks like a very Irish. This is actually the map The music that I've set up for outskirts. Whenever you actually enter outskirts, you should be hearing this sound of this music. Okay. Yeah, it's not bad. No, I probably blocked something in Chrome that makes that You have any Anya by the way? Do not have any Anya. No, that's an actual just in joke.

[16:59]
The first time I heard Anya, I think as a maybe or the name was one of tossed off of Justin's parents' roof. And now, I'm sure we look back, probably a bad idea, but honestly he's like, "Any of that's kind of looked it up." Oh, Justin, your parents had great teaching music, so if you just let them know, like what you love so bad.

[17:29]
They're still looking for Wow. already I'll pay for the Spotify, like monthly. I actually feel bad, actually. And fuck your mother said to me and I always remember this.

[17:44]
He said, "Trevor, or forgive or never forget." Does that mean it's Eve thing or the I don't know the fucking confetti and the egg and the microwave and I don't know if that was a stay one with the microwaves and that that guy was really mad and Bob was standing up there like I don't know. All nonsense to me, but you're full.

[18:18]
I just checked fucking nuts. I love it. I love it.

[18:27]
Oh good God. This is the game with Mike, wasn't it? Justin? Who's Mike? It's the God I like the the the neighbor. That was really mad about the fuck. What's his name? Mike? Mr. Steiner? I guess I just told him his name. It was Mike Steiner. We're piecing it together. Mr. Steiner. Oh, awesome.

[18:56]
I love the fact that call Mr. Steiner still. Uh, Darren with Mr. Steiner, I know him for 35 years. I've thought about this for a while and And uh, that whole like firing like rockets and and we pushed over the uh chicken coop and stuff. I've taken some time to think about it. It wasn't that hilarious with you starter.

[19:25]
Now that I'm old enough to have my own chicken coop, I realize.

[19:33]
I didn't chill. What the fuck is even that? Oh God.

[19:48]
I really think they're important and uh Yeah, I really look at back I actually really want to look at back like like the like ultimate universe like actually like about the man I mean like what's his family about?

[20:11]
fuck up you know you back yet Yeah I look up on Facebook So as you're finally getting closer where are you?

[20:40]
We won't make it to the tower before dark and you're walking so slowly says one the other replies get back tonight. Can't you carry the keg now? It's so darn heavy. The voices belong to two young men slight uh in light leather. Uh so they're ahead of you. Do you want to try to sneak up to them? Do you want to just make yourselves known to them? These are goblins?

[21:10]
No, uh these are bandits. Remember they're bandits bandits in the marshes or they're likely bandits. Okay. Like human human Well, I can tell you. I just put the They're They're rogue I can sneak up and maybe back out. They're walking. I'd be glad to do that. Just saying that. They're walking. You can hear them. They are walking away from you. Also in the same direction as the uh the tower. Bandits are bad, right? So we should attack them. Well, I mean maybe. Be you I'd be glad to back step. I didn't want to.

[21:39]
Just hear the word. Well, you you head that way will we got your back. I just like that's happening. Good word. Don't care. I'm getting old. I don't have a lot of backstabbing left in me. Well, if we watch them get into the tower, then maybe we can like figure out Maybe more plans than foe. I don't know, but I just like to backstab them, but you guys figure it out.

[22:10]
We could just follow him behind them if they're walking because they know how to get there. If that's the case you would if that is the case, then you want to sneak. So, otherwise, they'll they'll hear you following as well. So, if everybody wants to roll their sneaking skill Wait, can I just jump in here? Can we just maybe get the sneak to do this first? Because we all do this. Someone's bound to fail. You know what I mean? And we're almost at the tower, right? Oh, right. We're close enough to see the tower.

[22:39]
Assassins, nobody's going to see Assassins. He's He's sort of blended into everything. Even with a Yeah, even with a uh sneaking of five, he did a pretty good job. All right. Oh god, I am rolling some eyes I am so sorry I'm Actually, wait a second. Uh Oh god. Oliver had a had a had a triple a critical fail. And yeah, on a push.

[23:08]
Oliver actually says out loud. Hey you shouldn't have brought that flask with me. Okay. I can't don't bring the flask. Guys, uh certain reroll. Shall I do a push? Or just reroll? No, no, just reroll. Just reroll sneaking? Uh Yeah, just reroll sneaking. Cuz basically I'm going to give it to you because of uh uh of Isatis is one, uh everybody get everybody else gets a boon. Oh, okay.

[23:38]
So this means you're still uh not good, so Let me read What What's that um push Give it push again push That will give me one Yes, now you can push. Now you can push that sneaking. So it means Oh Christ sake. You're You're just too loud. I'm doing this again. Oliver, I'm going to get you Oliver, reroll your sneaking. Sure, just for fun. Okay. Yeah, just for fun. How much more can I bumble this one?

[24:10]
So I got dazed on my agility then. Screaming one. And Nick, you have to roll With a boon. You can reroll it with a boon. I haven't rolled it yet. Okay, okay, here we go. Yeah.

[24:33]
So unfortunately the Jane and Asatus and uh heard the goblins or not the goblins, I'm sorry. Heard the two voices up ahead and they were sneak but unfortunately Oliver and Nick's were having a back and they didn't quite hear anything and they're still arguing and then the voices stop and they hear hey who goes there in the marshes. Nick and Oliver arguing.

[25:05]
Oh, you go a lot of talk a lot. And starting Exactly. And starting to sort of caught in the middle and he's like trying to guys quiet. We don't want them to hear quiet.

[25:24]
Is it initiative time? I'll pretend not to sneak then if they've seen us so just like oh hello. No the sneaking was sort of a are you going to sneak but you're like okay but then you didn't see you're not sneaking. All right. And technically the whole group is not sneaking because you sneak as they group. Okay.

[25:51]
Uh, but the two people who did get a good sneaking role, I will give them a bit of a boon on if something if anything actually happens in terms of such. Uh Um, but nothing is going on right now. You're just it's just two other people in the marshes. Right, so like we can just talk to those two guys. All right, you come into a uh clearing in the thicket. You're still a fair distance from the tower so I don't have a map for you.

[26:20]
Um, and they say and who might who might you be? Who are you in?

[26:28]
Uh, Jane, you're the first person in the in the group so I'm going to Let's see if if you can answer them first. Yeah. But I didn't make a noise. No, I know, but because they are sort of the uh there, you're still part of the group. Once again, if anything happens, you I'm going to give you and uh Satya a bit a a boot on if anything happens, but you're still the front of the group.

[26:57]
So they ask me where we're why we're here. Yes, who are you? What are you doing in the in the Oh, we're just exploring. We've never been into this area before. Oh, are you are you adventurers? Sort of, I guess, yeah. Trying to be. Adventurers and naturalists, we're studying the floor and thought of the area.

[27:26]
That is interesting.

[27:31]
We might be uh Will it help you? You have some alcohol? Can we come to an agreement? I've got two mugs still. I don't be touching my flask. If you're adventurous Perhaps we can enter into a bargain. There is a great treasure to be had just beyond these marshes. Go on.

[28:08]
My my partner Fader and I. I am Rook. Rooky. Uh human, they're both human. They you know bit of leathers and such. They say uh up ahead is the tower of size. And it is As you can see it has fallen into ruin but there is a hidden area beneath it. And we have heard there is great treasure to be had underneath the tower.

[28:38]
But there is a giant that guards the tower. We have a small group of of uh uh fellow adventures just up ahead on the edge of the uh outside of the tower.

[28:58]
Uh If you would If you would be interested, perhaps you would be you could you could explore the tower and we could stay back and help if you ever get into any trouble.

[29:24]
That sounds helpful. Yeah. I don't I'm going to like wave my wing and be like, "I trust them." So these are nice If you follow us. If you follow us. be wrong with a couple bandits. They seem pretty tame. Guys know where any poison eggs are we can pick up?

[29:54]
All right, I'll be quiet. Need a bigger flask.

[30:02]
If you follow us, I shall introduce you to our the leader of our group. Her name is I'm sure she would be interested in meeting you. I'm sorry but actually what was her name? I actually didn't hear it. Ursic. Ursic, okay. Ursic.

[30:27]
And you sure enough you follow them. And it is only about another it's barely another 100 100 100 yards or so to the base of the tower. And you find yourselves with uh a woman surrounded by several other characters. In like a camp? In in a camp. And up up the hill the slope and the path leads up you can see a wall.

[30:57]
We're not on castle really yet. We're outside. I'm sorry? We're not not on the You're not in the castle. You're actually just outside. Still along the tree line. Okay.

[31:13]
I apologize again. Again, I'm trying to keep up. You said there was like two bandits, but I see one, two, three, four, six. Yes, you were following two bandits and they lead you into a part uh to their the rest of their group. So there's I see. Okay. I Okay. Seven of them all together. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Wow.

[31:36]
I know it's just Just go ahead. Whatever you do is probably a good idea. Just figure it out yourselves. Just be here being my little friend. A great rock surrounded by low trees rises from the swamp. At the top of the cliff is a large tower of red stone. The narrow staircase that once led up to the entrance has been raised and there are gaping holes in the side of the building. The wind carries sighs and blood blood-curdling wails the tower.

[32:12]
Well, Uh, seen as you show up with Ruki and Fader, uh, they don't uh, they don't set upon you or attack you. Uh, Ershik just said something, "And who might this be?" And Ruki and, uh, Fader introduce you is, "Oh, these young adventurers come to explore. They said that they're looking for adventure and, um, studying the the natch the wildlife?" Yes.

[32:42]
Yes. Yes. Yes, correct. I love that.

[32:52]
Fine. No, it's fine. Go ahead. Well, she offers she uh there's a there's a fire in the middle of this camp. She offers you all a place along the fire uh and says now, as you understand we are we have only we have come upon this tower ourselves before ED. So we do have the the the full claim of the treasure.

[33:18]
However, if you would like to uh help us with the giant that uh rests within the tower, we will be willing to uh share with you one-third of the treasure uh if you help us to drive the to help to drive the giant away. Looks like we Uh aren't going to be friends with the giant. Uh Wow. That sounds good. Let's go.

[33:51]
This isn't the 70s.

[33:58]
Can we all do like a little hot rod kind of thing? We like can we talk about this and you know kind of Yeah. around around like They they completely understand that Excuse us for a second. It is one second.

[34:18]
Okay, we should we don't mean to be rude, fair enough.

[34:25]
Yeah. I don't think we should be friends with the giant. Let's just get in there, we'll find whatever we need and then we'll third of the third of the treasure and we'll see where we go. It was more like great.

[34:45]
I think I like the idea. What I'm thinking is we can all disagree and let them go first, right? And when they're dead, whatever, even if there's like two left, we take the giant down, we take the other two down, kill them all and we'll walk with all their trust. That's my idea. That's terrible. We're not terrible. Throw up. Jesus. Okay, well if they go You raise with a silver spoon up your ass.

[35:15]
Do they look trustworthy? Do they look like they'll turn on us? Do we have any sort of intuition on the matter? You You have no intuition on that. You guys don't know that. Um Okay. But I feel like You can they are Do you are you willing to accept the 1/3 of the uh uh of the treasure for doing the work? Right? So Are Oh, they're not coming with Well, us it's 1/3 No, no, no.

[35:44]
They're We're going to send you in and then you take care of the giant and then I thought they needed our help to take care of the giant. What? They were send you in One the giant these guys wanted to steal us We can cross that bridge when we come to it. Maybe we'll sneak off in the other direction with all the treasure. I'm sorry.

[36:04]
I just see that Brian so what they're going to send us in they want you to go in and do with the giant and then once because because they were here first they get the two-thirds of the treasure, but you have to deal with the giant. They're not going to help them if they can spare at least the two people that were getting the keg. Ask them if they can spare a couple, a couple of their bravest soul I need to use persuasion.

[36:34]
I am not good at persuading. Can somebody else It was your It was your suggestion. You're up to be the one that rolls. Oh Jesus Are these and suggesting like go kill that giant when they come back give us one third of the treasure? Two thirds for them. Two thirds Is that what they're hearing? Yeah, that's what they're doing. The other thing, let's just kill them. It's It's bartering. 20 bartering, whoa. I might I still have a chance.

[37:04]
It's It's bartering, it's not it's not performance. It was per persuasion. Uh Oh, who you're rolling for them though, right? On bartering? So they're terrible. I he's rolling rolled bartering. That's That's for the 1/3 of the thing. You were trying to roll You have to roll persuasion, not performance. Oh, so Oh, I I I I can't Yeah, sorry, I trevered up on that. one. No. There we go. Uh it's still a failure. I don't like that, Andrew.

[37:31]
No, she's They're both charisma They're not going to risk their lives with this giant uh when they have these uh strong, powerful adventures who uh are much more better equipped than than they are. Are we better equipped? Well, they seem to think they seem to think you are. Oh. Hey, Jay may know it because what I'm thinking what Jay's How ever is why why do you fuck off persuade them to fuck off?

[38:00]
Who has a decent bartering skill among you guys? I mean be. The person with the best bartering skill roll your bartering. My only tell is Yeah, they will definitely I understand I understand that it isn't actually a difficult thing we ask of you and a dangerous thing we ask of you. So we will be willing to part with half. Half Half the treasure.

[38:30]
Sure, and then we can decide at the end whisper to our group. Sound good? Onwards and downwards, upwards is a tower, right? We do another family feud huddle here just for a second. Only because I need to understand I just need to understand this, Bellas. Let's do it. Let's just do it we can decide at the end. And Jane and Jane. So what I'm hearing is these bandits like bandits to this giant thing. We're like oh go kill that giant. We're going to take half of them.

[38:56]
I'm just being Maybe another sip from my flask, wondering, what the fuck? They're like, go kill the giant, give us half. We can decide on the way out. But when we pick Oh my god. Let's just do it. Maybe we take A wish at all if we if we change your mind. If we're if we dead if we're dead we can't split the treasure. Why oh my god, how does it make any sense? Well, we're here. Go kill this person come back to his half.

[39:27]
Which one of them would go with us? Would volunteer? None of them. Yeah. None of these bandits are going to come with you. Cuz they've seen it. This is where I am and the giant. Right. Then there's only five of them left when we come back out. I kind of wonder if this is where I am. Yeah. Okay, we'll give you a half. Let's just That's what go I'm in saying.

[39:56]
and we can discuss it in there.

[40:02]
With the giant.

[40:08]
I still think I can win over the giant. All right. Well, I'm heading towards the tower. See you there. No, it's it's along the bottom. Oh, sorry. This is the Sorry. The bottom? This is the the route that takes Oh, you up Oh, oh, this is the entrance right here, right? All right. It's it's right. This is the entrance. And then we we we pop over to I'm going there too. On the way I'm I'm similar to guys. You guys are out. It's up the it's up the hill. It's yeah, you think you you've not made friends with these guys. That's true. A fucking jerk. Yeah, my ass.

[40:36]
Hey, it's worth trying because they seem to think they're going to get something out of it. I don't care. I'm just still saying that. Okay, are we ready? I'm ready. I'm ready. This must have This must have once been a mighty fortress, four stories high and built of red stone. The roof is flat and surrounded by battlements, but the tower is badly damaged. One broken wall is wide open, blacken with soot.

[41:02]
There's stone scattered around across the ground around it as if a huge fireball once blasted through the wall. Up close, one can hear distinct sights or size that make one's blood run cold. That's the sound of the wind blowing through the the holes and the windows and the cracks in the tower.

[41:26]
Ooh. Ooh.

[41:31]
I waiting for other people to go in first. I'm I'm I'm like what is happening? Um When you get Okay Okay. This is yeah this right here is the door. It is the only entrance to the place. The windows are at least uh 8 ft off the ground. Enter here friend. Let's go.

[42:01]
Who wants to go first? Go ahead Kevin. Next. Jane steps up to the door. Hang on a second. Go ahead, Nick, you coward.

[42:14]
Yeah, you hurt me. I'm watching. I'm waiting. What do you go man? In the far corner of the of the main floor. You can't miss him. It's a giant. He's roughly about 14 to 16 What? Paul. Okay, hi.

[42:42]
He is a wall in in flesh and form himself. Takes up the corner of the room. Uh, as soon as he sees uh Jane peer into the corner, "Get out there." He says, "Leave me alone." Uh, he tosses a piece of rubble that's like from the the dilapidated wall at in your direction.

[43:08]
It's not aiming for you He's not It doesn't aim it like it's you don't even have to dodge. It just hits the wall itself. Chunks of the wall fall apart and like this tower could even fall down from if enough of those stones are knocked out. But you know that it if he wanted to hurt you, it would have been a much closer shot and it then it wasn't. Okay. Okay. All right.

[43:37]
He's a little bit scared kind of. Like, what are you doing here? I don't know what he's like, I kind of that, like, cool. I don't know what that is.

[43:48]
He's protecting his house. I can tell you but answer some questions about this. Yeah, that's better. Are you going in? Yes. Yes, go ahead. Well, just a little, like, you may you may need some uh to chat before it's Why would you Why would you You're a female mage go first. Get out. I don't care. Can't you bandits leave me alone?

[44:17]
Oh no, we're not bandits. I holler from way back here.

[44:23]

[44:44]
Do we think we could take this giant if he were to attack? There's some intelligence no no roles We don't know anything about it just looks scary and big. He looks very scary and very big. Do we know if they have any weaknesses? Not really.

[45:09]
I don't No, I'm playing this right here. Well, I'm going to play a Johnny tune on my flute.

[45:25]
I just love story. I just picture everything a Johnny tune. Johnny. It's really giant. Hi, I'm going to play Johnny tune. Roy, Roy, are you doing a are you using your ability or you just doing a performance? No, race spirits.

[45:43]
Yep. So use it and then roll your person roll your person.

[45:51]
There's no sneaking. Well, I mean you can see but you still have to come through the door. I'm saying I still have a boon from earlier is what I'm saying. Oh, uh no you're playing without a boon. You're not playing you're playing with no boon and no bane. Playing now.

[46:11]
Yeah, so so next player famous hit. I'm a coward. I always go last. I'm a coward. Play that one. Using performance Yeah. or musician. Like I don't know what the abilities part of this is lost me again. The so hang on a second. You've used your have you used like you clicked on the musician? Right. But that just like gives me But I think Hang on one second. I got to find your character sheet.

[46:45]
Yeah, so you actually have to click on the musician cuz it then you use the three willpower points.

[46:54]
Click on the musician thing. I've clicked and it does that.

[47:03]
So I got a sec. Okay, so with willpower you just do it, right? Like there's no skill level Okay. It's supposed to remove three uh three move uh just reduce your willpower by three and then roll performance because that shows that you've used You're clicking on the uh text circle. The tell tells you what it is. No, I even I even clicked on musician uh didn't his well power either and it should have. Maybe there's something else I haven't turned on, I don't know. Yeah.

[47:33]
Okay, so you're just saying reduce well by three and then roll your persuasion. Okay. Or persuasion or performance? Performance.

[47:48]
That'll work. That will do. Uh, you you can sense uh Jane, just looking at him at this point. As soon as you hear these these tones coming from NYX's pipe, is it a was it a flute or a harp? What's your instrument? Or do you have an instrument? It's a flute. It's a flute. So you hear the flute tones coming from just outside and you can see it actually has a strange more common effect on this giant.

[48:18]
He's less He seems to be less grumpy grumpy and it's the whole music sucks the savage beast. He's just settled settling down. And he's kind of looking off into the eye into the air trying to figure out where the fuck that music's coming. But he seems to like it. Oh, perfect. I I love that for us because I am mixed Karl him and this is my group of adventurers. What's your name?

[48:47]
I'm glam glam. Glam glam, I love it. Bam bam I'm sorry, what? That's what his pardon. His name is Glam Glam the Giant. That's awesome. Hey, okay. I am Glam Giant. Dental down, Lisa needs braces.

[49:16]
Jane, what are you saying? Why I just did his name I was writing it down Who's coming in second? Is anybody following Jane into the You know I am because you know what I'm going to like work with Kevin on the whole conman thing seems like we've got a boon of persuasion. I'm in there too. I play cards what's going on you want to play some cards?

[49:40]
Well okay guys there are now four people and going on five people walking into this room with a big giant and he's not like he hasn't said come on in so at this point Who's talking to him? Who's Oliver who came in second? Who came in second? Okay, I'm going to take my shoes off. You're still in the point. The shoes off to be to be hospitable to his home, correct?

[50:08]
He's he's he's a Japanese he's a Japanese giant. I've got I've got beat whatever. Would he be more acceptable to talking to an elf? Like they're more no It's at this point he he's not he wouldn't understand he all he sees all of you, except nobly enough Oliver as a bandit threat. Might be might be a bit much for the poor fella. What time of day is this for him?

[50:34]
He's uh it is actually early evening. It would be about 6:00 to 7:00, so like the the sun is is slowly going down. It's getting a little darker. Um and he can't see he he he's you can Hear the music, you can see the music is definitely having an effect a comedy effect on him and he's just looking right at Oliver. What?

[51:04]
Oh my god, all right. Okay, so my flask is running empty because you know what I'm a functioning alcohol duck. Um I'm I suppose to drink twice for once. I don't know, I lost. I lost, okay. You lost that persuasion. Sorry. And you can't you can't push this. I'm persuaded. I was going to say what were you going to say?

[51:33]
You're looking straight up the I'm going I was going to say you know what Oh wait no yeah Actually no stop stop stop giant we're all here to help you. Stop. Uh with music gives a boon. With his music it should give you a boon. Although technically because he was playing the You're playing the one that gives him a bane, weren't you? Or were you playing that gives everybody a boon? I thought it was a boat.

[52:00]
No, it just was one or the other are there are technically two songs that he that he has. Yeah. So was it a bane or a boon? This was a boon one. This one was like I wanted to give the boon to Well well I was just playing the music, period. The performance point. Yeah. Right? So you musician is trying to use and The musician ability phones or if he thinks I'm a fool then maybe he's still fucked up.

[52:29]
So you're working a boon or bane to him then, right? Yeah. I'll I'll I'll put this to I'll put this to the room, right? I got a second rule with a boon. So I think No I'll take the 20 make it a two. Is that there? You know what? I'm going to I'm going to give you the uh this one, Trevor. Uh so you can It's not a role right should have you should have a little red mark next to your persuasion. You can remove that red mark and you take the two.

[52:58]
Mainly because uh of everybody, he's the most interested in you. So you get a spoon on your persuasion. Everybody else would take a regular would have a regular thing cuz he's just he's very fixated on you in a in a sort of What the fuck are you? Sort of look. Yeah, well. Right. Uh So you can talk to him. You can talk to him. What do you want to say?

[53:29]
Uh I'm going to say um well what would I say being me? Hi there. Look, meet my friends. This is my friend Jane Parker. She's amazing. Talk to her and by the way, we're just wondering how you do it.

[53:50]
I just want peace and quiet. And these bandits keep coming. Day and night wanting my treasure, wanting to get in here. What I'm not my sorry, not wanting my treasure, wanting to get past me. Won't leave me alone. They talk, they fight, they I've killed so many of them. I'm just tired. Oh, I I do have a response to that. I'll just be honest. I'm like, you know, Giant, can we just be honest? Let's just be honest.

[54:19]
I'm always throwing my flask. I should have brought a second flask. But uh you know, we had some banter up there, right? You know what the truth is? So I go in there and do that giant and then want like half the gold. This is crazy, right? This is why we came in. Just wanted to tell you what's going on. And Yeah. So I think the way could probably we we work out is just give us half the goal now and then we'll go kill the bandits. Well, I was happy, right? You know, you have the goal and then you're done.

[54:48]
We can have We kill the bandits or maybe we'll just run away. We could just say that, but you know, what does that sound? No. No. No? No. What do I What do you think? Let Let me tell you what I I can open the way to the basement, but you need to do something for glam glam. Glam glam?

[55:18]
Glam glam's hungry. Glam glam's fucking goat man. And he's looking Actually, yeah, he noticed that Nick has some has goat legs too. And he looks he looks between all of and Nick's Nick's and Oliver. Yeah. Yeah, I think my fear is that Very hungry.

[55:42]
If you were to bring me wild boar, I might let you go in uh I might let you go into the basement. Oh, I don't know. Do you like If you bring me something If you were to bring me something good, I might That you into the basement. He loves poison egg and uh dragon egg omelettes.

[56:12]
Yeah. Shut up. Are Are we we can go hunting? I mean, like that's fine. Yeah. Got to be something. I don't know. Sounds like we're going to the basement. It sounds like we're only being led down to the basement. It's what I'm thinking. I don't know. Sounds like we're going down to the basement. It's what I'm thinking. We shelter the night anyway. Hang out with Giant. We don't have to worry about the bandit.

[56:41]
I just have to say it's kind of weird. Let's go this guy. Yeah, let's go hunting. He watches go down with his basement. Sleeping ham and then Yep. Sleeping ham. So yes, we kept our promise. We got him a boar but he could feed it for breakfast. I'll do this once again. I think it's kind of weird. This met this guy is like come down in my basement.

[57:07]
I tell my brother fucking get me on me like What the hell? You have to give us some popsicle or something? Yeah.

[57:22]
Fuck. Are we going boar hunting?

[57:29]
Two votes for boar hunting. So, you make your way out of the the the tower. As you make your way down again, the the bandits are looking at is he dead? Did you kill him? Uh Uh Somebody Let's take the lead. I've got poor charisma.

[57:55]
No, he's hungry. We're going to get him some food. What? To distract him. We're did as we're going to kill him. We're going to kill him when he's eating. He's he's he looks like he would put lay waste to our whole group. All right. So uh we're just uh yeah we're we're fibbing. We're just telling him what he wants to hear. Don't don't say we're fibbing. I don't see that. Not in front Not in front of the Not in front of the giant of course.

[58:24]
Okay, we'll don't do that. They're They're They're listening. Okay, so next you're playing all the way out. Yeah. Just backing out with the the things on me. He's He's mesmerized I'm sure. So looking at my legs. As As you're leaving, the last thing he does is few plots.

[58:51]
He liked it. He liked your music. Oh, I like that. Well, I always the first time. So, what is it like? They're like, you're going to feed the giant. What is what would you feed him? Do you know where any boar are? Wild boar, not tame boar. Couple of bandits look at each other and they they like Yeah.

[59:20]
And they point off in the sort of a north northwestern direction of the marshes where you from where you guys are standing. They say there is we did come across a small family of four and there was a larger one there that probably would feed them well.

[59:42]
And it's it's not too far off. So they send you off into the woods in the marsh land. Once again, they're not going to come with you. They they've really made made it clear that they're not going to be your friends. Okay, trying to help solve this for both sides I feel like because Yeah. lost a lot of people trying to get in there and Yeah.

[01:00:05]
So if we just give them money food maybe that's going to help instead of you guys losing another bandit party member. What if the meat had very potent sleeping poison? What do you mean?

[01:00:23]
Roll roll your intelligence.

[01:00:29]
Come in right up. Actually, no, roll roll your awareness. Okay. There it is.

[01:00:39]
Yeah, you think that's a probably a good idea.

[01:00:50]
Anybody else so you bring that up to the rest of the group? No, don't mention it to them. Not not to the bandits but Oh sorry to the rest of the group. You've sort of moved on you're heading in the direction of the you've you've gone hunting okay you've got you're you're going hunting. Uh do you bring that up to the rest of the group? For sure. All right everybody else roll your awareness. Okay game confuses me um I better get a good roll of that. time I'm due.

[01:01:19]
I've got a role awareness. Awareness. That didn't work. Oh. Well, nope. Of everybody will Yeah. Hey, Oliver is the first person to figure this out and certain is well because you both work. There's a large stone slab in the middle of the room which you pretty much are certain is the way to the basement. Okay. The giant could move that lab.

[01:01:48]
But you probably No, no, no. So if you put the giant to sleep, you're not getting into the basement. Does anyone have any spells? Who tells the giant? Who cares? We've killed the giant. Well, a lot of other things. Well, sweet. This means we're out. I know I just killed those bandits. Where are we? Fuck you, bandits. Do I think my pillar spell will uh raise that thing? That That can be vegetables. Okay. I can't tell you that.

[01:02:18]
You can consider it, but I can't tell you if it will work or not. We have to be in there doing If I cast it right now with the with the giant notice. No, you're not anywhere here You can cast it right now, but you're Oh my god. Oh, you broke up there, but I I bet Yeah, we're off we're supposed to be hunting. a little bit. Yeah, you you're you're gone hunting right now. So, if you say that I'm going to try it now No, no.

[01:02:46]
And you can cast pillar in the middle of the swamps and all we'll do is make a pillar in the middle. Yeah, no, I won't. No, I won't.

[01:02:55]
If you need a Who has if you need a hunt well Does anybody have a good bush craft skill. I do. Mine's only seven. Mine's Who has 14. Oh, look at that. All right. Uh, everybody else, if you want to roll bush craft with a boon, Sure, why not? Yeah. Cancel Which the you mean you can be roll here uh Oliver? I nailed it. No, roll again. Funny, that's good. How do I add the boon?

[01:03:25]
Oh my god. Martin nailed it. Look at Good job, I think that's a bane, Jeff. Or no, sorry. I put one in boons. I mean it's still I I failed anyways, so don't matter. You had a bane. Yeah, Jeff, you're you've got bane on for some reason. Yeah, but I put my one in boons.

[01:03:55]
Oh, and it's zero bane?

[01:04:01]
Just trying to follow along here, but didn't Andrew or starting to roll a one on the old bush crap, which is actually a really good rule? Yes, that's why everybody else is supposed to get a boon. See? Well, I see. Okay. Oh, fair enough. I'm just trying to follow along. I have one in boon and and I got I think I got 20 620 Well, anyway, you would have got an 11 there. So, Yeah, so it wouldn't have Yeah. wouldn't have it still would have failed if that's what we're We're going with weapons.

[01:04:31]
Yeah, even your awareness you've got a 14 and five and it come up as the five not the 14. That's very weird.

[01:04:42]
All right, well, I bush craft it. Thank you. That's very strange. Okay, anyways, um it does not take you very long to track down a a few bore. Um Is this a fight or can we easily kill a boar?

[01:05:07]
Wow, boar is wild boar.

[01:05:13]
Uh, let's go see. Cuz the person with the best hunting really Oh, there's hunting and fishing. Yes. Who Does anybody have a good hunting and fishing skill?

[01:05:30]
Mine's only seven. Mine's only six. We're not 100% sure. I was just going to find a boar and punch it. We could just kind of like I think in fishing I'm going to say I'm going to say do you have a good score except I'm titsy so don't believe by don't believe the duck. Isn't there a sneaky I'm going guy to get with a dagger Have they noticed this? These four?

[01:05:58]
Yeah, that's that's a no. Yeah, okay.

[01:06:06]
With that bush craft reroll, you can reroll that hunting and fishing. Everybody do again try hunting and fishing with a boon. With a boon. Boon. Hunting and fishing with a boon. Boon boon boon. Let's go. Back to the boon. All right.

[01:06:28]
Hey, that Oh right cuz that was with a Oh, that boon didn't even Oh it wasn't the boon. My boon never worked. Doesn't matter you still succeeded. It succeeded yeah.

[01:06:46]
All right we've got a couple. I want I want to Jeff took his bean away and now he's just got normal. We're all having trouble here. Oh you it doesn't take you too long. You two minutes to take it down.

[01:06:59]
Now uh of everybody um Oliver got it on and I got the first actually just playing around yeah cool Yes I saw us and Nick's are basically the best ones to to actually track it down I think I saw us plays or Nick's plays a a bit of a tune just to lull it and then I saw us gets in and and does the final kill so you manage to capture a boar it's a large boar and it does take a couple of you to to trust it and carry it back, but it has been about an hour to an hour and a half.

[01:07:34]
The sun is gone as is it's it is now setting. Uh, so it is getting quite dark. Um, If anybody has a torch, you probably want to bring your torch up now. Yep, I have a torch.

[01:07:52]
So you bring out your torch, you you walk back to the to the tower keep. Yeah, just kind of staring at the bandits as you walk by with the with your board. And the smug little thing I was like, we're doing something uh positive. Hahaha. Fuck all of you. Sort of thing. And the bandits are kind of still looking at you. Oh, can I just lift my like my my my my my duck hood and like show my butt and like give my duck fart?

[01:08:22]
Yes, you can. Okay, good. T T T Roll your flat flat flat. Roll your flat off. We flat ones right now. So show him your spot hidden so to speak. Um Who is going to present the bore to Glam Glam?

[01:08:49]
It doesn't sound like it's going to go well, seriously. It's too easy. God God. You have a little fair music. Let's you go ahead. Let's do that. Well, like you guys can bring it in and I'll I'll make a little noise about it. With the Yeah. performance So you have to do the same thing uh musician and performance again. Musician first?

[01:09:16]
We don't need to use musician just to perform us. No, the musician is actually using his ability because if he just performs it just doesn't sound and then it's basically just like looks into music. It's not going to do anything. Musician actually uses the magic of the performance to either adventure his party or disadvantage the opposition. Uh, remember Oh, yeah, you did it. Yeah. And then performance.

[01:09:46]
Or did you do Was that your performance role? Performance role and I lowered my willpower to eight. Why? Well, cuz I used Well, yes, you role you role your willpower at date. Yes, I was thinking you anyways. So, that was That's your performance. You perform again uh with the musician thing. Uh, and he's once again he's happy he's seems to be happy to see you. He's very happy to see the large bore.

[01:10:15]
On Is this the meal you were looking for? Tell him it nearly killed us. It nearly It nearly killed us. We're We're barely alive, although I think we all look spry. Hunch my back. Are you in this chair? Doing pretty good. Are you in this chair and what's up? I'm I'm outside. I'm at the door. Where is everybody else? Hang Hanging out with Yeah, just kind of hanging out with On my turn Listen what I'm going to get You have and we're inside I said this.

[01:10:45]
I'm going to say to I said this. So you're book letter hey. I never got a chance to go to school. Good for you. That's why I'm saying I said this this call. Go ahead. Okay. Glam Glam He pulls the bore he takes the bore from you and you can watch him eat or you can sort of give him his space. He doesn't care one way or the other. Ask him he's going to be eating this thing first.

[01:11:15]
Ask him if he should go on onwards and downwards to give him some privacy to the basement. He waves you off. He's going to He's going to eat his food. Okay. Okay. So we have to come back. You've got to give him his space because he was very hungry and Well. He technically holds all the Okay. I'll keep playing my tune while he eats I'll search the camp for any uh loose coins, but not make it obvious. is while he's eating the boar.

[01:11:44]
Well, their bandits they're not going to their their purses are very tight. Okay, well, you know, perception is a virtue. Yeah. Really so like starting just like one around the bandits. I'm friendly. You can go back and you can go back and sit with the bandits if you want. It's going to probably be an hour. Uh so it is going to be very dark. Talk up this lady and ask her uh what she's doing tomorrow.

[01:12:17]
Spending my gold if you if you adventures do do well here tonight.

[01:12:27]
I can kill the bandits. I'm so confused here. Like either kill a giant or kill some stupid bandits. Why are we doing this? They're friendly folks. I'm just thinking myself. I'm getting They're not attacking you. Are you attacking them? No, I know. Just this is this is my invoice duct voice. I just bring it to another class and I'm like, why are you fucking like All right. giant Fuck. Okay. Okay. Very good. Yeah.

[01:12:56]
Well, if we're not If we're not doing anything, let's wait an hour. Has anything happened in that hour? When you come back are you come back to the place? Uh, we're going to maintain that uh Nick is still he's playing he might be playing in several different songs. They're all doing their magic on Glam Dam. He's Glam Dam. He's very happy to be hearing both the music and of being had to be being very well fed. That was a delicious bore.

[01:13:29]
Do I talk to him? It seems to me that it's kind of interesting and like creatures that aren't like human like a really cool duck or like a lame goat. You know what I mean? Like Yeah, look there. Look at you being lame.

[01:13:59]
The guy clearly has some kind of thing for like half humans. Whatever it is, be some flirting. Hey. Now I'm feeling comfortable with you. How was your meal? Um, hang on, give me one second. I just want to Oh, I got some You got something for goats, do you?

[01:14:32]
You like the goats, do you, fella? What do you think about this duck? Don't tempt him. Right? Can I tell him my name's Ginger? And next you'd be Roxy. Okay. That's cool. So fella. So what is okay, who is talking to Glam Glam? Is anybody talking to Glam Glam and now that he's finished his food?

He says As everyone knows, delicious bar goes down much better. Oh, no. of meat. Oh, meat. I thought you I thought he was going to say human meat. Human meat. A keg full of meat.

[01:15:35]
A keg full of meat would do wonders to to wash down that lovely delicious boar. Do we wait for the bandits to go to sleep and steal their keg? They had one. Well, maybe the reason they're going to go to sleep is because they finished it. So, we should probably like get We should go and make sure they don't finish it. It's Don't finish The sun has just gone down. The sun has just gone down. You going to go ahead and ask a question.

[01:16:07]
Mr. Giant, I don't like bore. Out of the way, you should try to go. Regardless, it seems to me that, you know, I'm an old duck. I've been around the planet a few times. You're like, "Oh, get me a pig, get me some meat." You know, you know, why? And what's in it for us? And I mean, I mean, come on. You know how many porn have brought the people they've going to mean nothing? Oliver, roll your persuasion.

[01:16:37]
Respectfully. Respectfully. Respectfully. Over roll. I'll do a duck burp too so there's ship from my flask.

[01:16:55]
Oh shit. Sorry everybody. What do you roll shit? Fuck bro dead. Roll your persuasion.

Yeah, and then now they're saying There's a staircase. Staircase? A spiral staircase. So, there's actually a spiral staircase. I'm going to go. No danger. The floor is entered to the basement. A spiral staircase once ran through the tower center. Uh, the way up has collapsed and the way down is blocked by the massive boulder. That is where the sides are coming from. Once he moves the boulder, that's how everything that's when everything stops. So, under the last boulder on the ground floor is a spiral staircase carved into the rock.

[01:26:15]
It's a fairly deep steep staircase that goes down.

[01:26:22]
And after about 50 steps the staircase opens into a square room. Jane, you're at the front. Who's following Jane? Is it Nick's? I love this group.

Under the uh the torch light uh after about 50 steps down the stairs. It's a it's a fair uh uh walk down to the uh the the temple. Uh opens into a large square room. The bare rock walls are once covered with tapestries, but now only threads and dust remain. Against the wall on the far end, there's a banner, an object that is uh was inexplicably was stood the ravage as a time.

[01:27:53]
The war banner depicting a grinning wolf mounted on a pole of patented uh uh patinated bronze.

[01:29:09]
Was there stuff that need to be read in another language? Or did I miss here? Well, I thought maybe I thought that yeah. We looked at it and it said had an inscription but I don't know if it's in the language we can't read. As uh you guys enter the room and you see the bones shooting around the floor uh about 20 translucent figures rise from the skeletal remains. Oh shit.

[01:29:37]
Quietly they make their way past you. We should have pulled the van. slowly slowly and quietly and not even paying any attention to you. They slowly make their way up the stairs. Okay. So they're going to be That's interesting. Yes, they're leaving. They're not They're not looking to fight.

[01:29:59]
They're not uh They're it's basically now that the ways open and the size have stopped, they can finally leave and possibly hopefully be at peace. Well, that's our good deed for the day. You know what this is perfect. Nothing what could go wrong? All right. Well let's go A single ray Guys, listen. A single ray lingers in the room.

[01:30:27]
It's an orc woman in an ankle length robe with heavy jewelry around her neck and a tiara on her head. She speaks to the players in an archaic language. I'm going to say do you have languages? Do you have a pretty good languages skill? I I've got Does anybody else have a good language? I do yeah. Yes, okay. So if you have decent languages, roll that. Whoops. Oh Jesus. That didn't work.

Uh, Out the altar, there you actually can see and you can kind of hear there's a sort of a bit of a bubbling water like there's a it's a cistern with some water in it. And she points to that, "This is the foundation of truth, fountain of truth.

[01:31:47]
Drink from it and swear an oath that cannot be broken." What kind of oath? Like a fountain of fire that you What's the oath for? You don't know that's all she really says. Okay. Drink to an oath I can't break an oath and when the oath says you got to fly everywhere and you can't fly so you die.
