Now, without further ado, let's begin this episode of Critical Role. Phelis, the Tintazi Wood, stretching out. from the hallowed round theater comes to life around you.

Your foot falls alongside that of Hannan, sworn enemy of an elf like you who fought for the destruction of the goddess you mourn. Jasmine, orchids, honeysuckle, rose, bloom, spreads throughout the forest. Tintazi is a wild alpine wood. It is conifer and old hardy mountain oak and things growing off the side of rocks.

It is a place of small, cool caves and lichen facing the endless gray of their morning sky. And here at night, you hear cricket song, the stone of Night Song in Hannan's hand. as he puts out the stone to you without fully opening his fingers as though to offer that you both hold it together hand in hand. Hold it with him. As you walk through the forest, tears streak down Hannan's face. His lungs fill visibly through the wooden ribs of his chest.

You hear shouts and and cheers and an enormous burst of applause, the intermission of Cotheri, Howell's play. And you hear a sort of sussarus of orcish winyani voices and those travelers. And you hear a flitting invisibly of fairies, heading from the theater out quickly into the forest before the second act of the play begins

and the stone in your shared hands close bright pulsing, almost like a heart with a cool blue and white gleam. You see, Hannan wipes tears from his eyes as you walk arriving at the lakeside of Nahami. You see across the lake the falls pouring down from the river Vroche. I would love to grab some Jasmine

and just to remember this moment as we're walking by. You grab the Jasmine, you smell it. Hannon casts Druid craft, and you see that the Jasmine forms into a bracelet around your wrist. This is incredible. Forrest is waking up.

We've witnessed a miracle. that play, that ritual is a miracle. It goes without saying the afterlife of the Rumihani has been found. They are somewhere, and they are safe. Did you know any that died after the shaper of life fell? Those souls that fell after the shapers still tread in the tenapril reaches, the underworld, unless a druid has brought their soul back into life once more. But those of your kin or family that died before,

we know that the afterlives are accounted for. It is, we have witnessed a moment of profound significance in the history of Aramon here in this place. I feel so lucky that we got to witness this. There is, I've been fighting for. a very long time, and I know that I speak now to a fellow warrior. I referred to you in a way that I regret in recent girl. It's not untrue. We were flower dolls to a certain degree. Thank you for saying that. I do not claim to know on what bend of the path you now stand in your journey, but whatever tenderness you have shown me I am grateful for.

What does your heart tell you now of the endless days to come should you choose them? I don't know. Seeing what we were able to see here today, this definitely gives me hope. The immortality of our people was given to us for the shaper of life wished never to see her chosen die. and a bargain was struck with the other shapers, that we would still succumb to injury, we would not be invincible, but that age nor time would not end our lives.

This favor alone was given to the shaper of life. And in exchange, our ability, our ability to bring new life into the world, was given from us to her, and only through her miraculous gift, were we allowed to know the blessing of children. After this world, she refused to return that gift to us, and what I saw in there betrayed this immortal life that new voices of our people might,

young voices might be in the world again. If this can happen, 70 years went without a moment's hope that something in the world had been thrown off kilter. It cannot be fixed quickly, but it can be fixed. And Tysha, they've shown you and your companions this. Even if it were at the cost of our immortal lives, I would trade it back. I would trade it back in a second. A second. I would.

And I will if it comes to it. You see something softens in Hanon and he closes his eyes and leans his head forward and puts a hand on your arm as though to embrace. I lean my head forward as well. He touches his head to yours. You breathe in the scent. Jasmine, roses, wild forest. He takes in a small breath as if to speak something here so close to you. in this space. And there is a sudden flash of light.

The Stone of Night Song gleams with the force of luminous moonlight, as though the moon itself were here in this glade, casting shadows in all directions, and you see strands of moonlight, two of them race off back towards the hallowed round. I'm going to need you to make a charisma-saving throw for me. Oh, that's so bad. Um, uh, 11. 11 does not succeed.

Hannan is blasted back from you in this moment. And as he is, both of your hands clasped to the Stone of Night Song. This artifact to which you are attuned opens and you see Tenebra reaches. It is as though you are attuned. you are casting speak with dead again. And you are unable to let go of the stone. It lurches forwards towards the hallowed round.

You are dragged on your knees through the moss, about 15 feet. With Hannon? Hannon has been blasted away. He gets up after you and goes to leap after you and the stone glows and you see Hannon is lifted 10 feet up into the air floating in place surrounded by moats of light.

I don't know what's happening. The stone, let go of the stone! I can't! Give me either perception or insight, or you can also give me your religion, if you would like. Oh, okay. Where's my sheet? There it is. Okay, perception or religion.

Oh, that's really good. Okay, I rolled an 18. Oh, uh, uh, let's go, let's go, let's go religion. Okay. It's a plus five. Okay, so that is a 23? Yeah. The stone in this moment is calling out to you. You feel that the stone is doing what it was meant to do,

which is usher, spirits of the dead. It connects two strands of light. You realize three bridges. The three bridges, one from Aramon to the dying fields. That bridge was created during the play. And now Aramon itself and the Orchish, afterlife, you perceive in moonlight, in this vision of how you have seen the dead draw near in that liminal space between life and death, the second and third bridge come from both of those

places to ferry through the stone. But the doors to ferry are closed. The stone is wrenching in your fists. On that 23 religion, Fiazzi Fang, an enemy of yours, a thief and scoundrel who stole a religious relic from a place of worship brought this thing here for purposes of sacrilege. That ritual in the hallowed round, that sacrilege, the sacrilege that was making Han and weep a moment ago with the beauty and possibility of it is calling the stone back. However, you are a sister of Salandri. The stone also avails itself to you in this moment, and you can make it do what you want it to. You look out in the tennebral reaches

and hear the distant cry of your sister and family. Comes to pass from time to time as someone telling this story with my friends to give people terrible choices to make. You may will the stone to participate in this ritual, the one that made you in Hanan weep with its beauty, that is against the wishes of the shaper that forged this stone. You may also, through your devotion to the path of the Sisters of Salandry,

have the stone do what it was supposed to do, which is curry the or ferry the souls of elves to their afterlife. You may in this moment find those members of your family in the tennebrile reaches. and bring them to fairy along with yourself, which I need to state would be the same as dying. Or you may do some other thing. Attempt to cast the stone away from you, bury it in the earth, reject this choice in total.

To reiterate, the two most potent magical things occurring now are whether the stone will be compelled to serve in the same, this ritual that is in the midst of unfolding, or whether the stone will be bent to its original purpose by a follower of Salandry, which would rescue your family members from the underworld at the cost of your own life. Or, if it would be more true to what Bayless might do in this moment, you could cast it into the lake, bury it in the earth, or perhaps fling it from you and name the person to whom you wish this choice would be given instead.

We will arrive at that choice on tonight's episode of Critical Role. Oh, my God. Hi everyone and welcome to the Critical Role announcement playhouse. Folks, it's almost free RPG day. Yay, free RPG.

Do it again. Indeed. I believe that includes our announcements. So let's go ahead and jump back into Arama. To tonight's episode of Critical Role. We are returning. So much has happened. happened. We have been here as all of our adventurers of Aramon have returned here to

Dolmachiar. It is opening night of Kotheri, which has reconnected the orcish afterlife to Aramon after 70 years of it being lost post the death of the shapers. We also found ourselves in this moment with seeing the intermachinations of the sundered houses, Wakandar Halivar and Tyrion. back in the good graces of the candescent creed. We never left. We never left, in fact, to witness the sort of imprompt to alliance trial and accusations heaped at Primus Taconas

about the David Vindicta and his various plans. And we saw him basically, you know, after all of this evidence that had been compiled by the different adventurers over time, be unable to say anything other than, yeah, we tried to, but isn't our alliance more important than life or death? After all, look at the grand work. we are here to do.

The lady Amaria Dason Cormoray showed up. Termina, a member of the Panto and Belair's sister, arrived back, who seemed to have gotten out of the box. Currently on her meds. She is out and about doing her thing, and we also have our friends at Obermiss Manor that have just turned the Lady Dame Guy Saramaya back into an undead summon of Octus Taconas

in their search to rescue Mara the wing from Obermus Manor, which they have precious little time to do while the Taconas are out at this meeting of the sundered houses. Afterlives discovered, plays opening night, druids attempting to be rescued, trying to hold up the Taconas family at this meeting for as long as possible,

and Cadigan Vale, captured by tyranny's sisters, dumped out of a sack to see that the lord of the house Taconas is none other than that sorcerer who murdered his wife and child. all those years ago. Cattigan, the claws of the demons wrap around your arms and begin to pull you

from the room along with Wolfrick. As you see Petra and Riah Taconas gesturing to the lords to sort of vacate, you see Primus doesn't seem to register you at all and begins to walk to the head of the table to engage in private conversation with Yonessa Halevar. Wick, you are still in the room, but I think Tyranny, you are following Cattigan out with the demons.

Philones is coming with them. Katagan, you are being pulled through the doorway, as you see. Prime is there. What is occurring with you? What do you do in this moment? Yeah, I mean, at first seeing him, it was full processing power, maxed out, full disassociation, seven years of failure wrapped up in one moment as the worst possible thing and everything you've been looking for is dropped in your lap.

and that lasts for about a second and a half. And then he's screaming at the, just yelling like a feral animal, trying to break his bonds. Give me an athletics check. Oh, yoh-ho-ho-ho-ho. Big roll. Yeah.

You are trying to beat a 23 from enmity. It's horrible. I don't even have my staff. I don't even have my staff. I mean, I rolled it two. The demons hauling you out of here. You are screaming at Primus Taconas. Do not break your bonds or you're not screaming at. You're just pregnant break your bonds.

No words. No, no. It's a, it's a, it's true, truly a feral and caged animal. There are no words. It's just, it's horrible. I don't know if, if any of ever experienced this, but a person in real physical pain, they do not say words. They just make sounds that are indescribable. And that's, he's feral, drooling, a mess. Tyranny, you accompany as Wolfrick and Cadigan are dragged out by the demons. Philonius, with his dog's judgment and wrath, meets them at the hall. This is occurring sort of wild Bolers speaking to Termina off in the corner.

But you see that Philonius sort of speaks and goes, all right, well, taking this one off to the tailors, are we? Aspirants. Very good, very good. I wish I could join you. but security and all. You see that Zabani walks up to Philonius and says, Uncle, we just received word, the play, the play at the round. They've changed it.

And you see that Philonius goes, good, I heard that they had. Good. Praise the light. She says, back, changed it back. It's a godless affair. And you see, goes, oh, what are we to do? She looks and says, Once Wicks old friend, now that he's back in the fold.

We should send people there at once, troops. And you see that she pulls off with Folonius. And Tyranny, you see it's just the demons. They get back to the wagon. You can give a roll to resist if you'd like. Go ahead and give me an athletics role. Sure. I'll do another one. That's way better.

That is 16 plus 10. 10 for 26. They get you to the wagon and you get your arms and legs and they are not able to push you through the door as they're trying to get you. And you see that cruelty goes, why are you doing this?

There's like a million soldiers here. We'll just knock you out. Ah! Get in the, and you see that, you see enmity goes, you must hate this, we will not. And I'm gonna ask for a wisdom saving throw from that. Oh boy.

What is we save? Uh, nah, but six. You go paralyzed as she hits you with a hold person. They launch you in the back of the wagon, slam it shut, and bolt the door. You see that enmity turns around and goes, Sister. Well, finally we're alone.

What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened with you? You were supposed to come and get me. That's what happened. You know what I know? is that Yineso was ready to kill all three of you. So you'd better listen to me because you were on thin ice, my friend. I'm on thin.

Yes. You probably betrayed. No, I didn't. Guess what? This guy? We're going to get him. But I need to tell you stuff because have you noticed that they keep us separate?

Give me a persuasion check. Okay. Yeah. It's just a question. 11. 11. You see that agony goes, they do? And you see cruelty says, they don't. The three of us just went on a huge trip all together without you. Okay, yeah, I don't feel left out if that's what you're trying to do. I'm saying at the castle, we'll have very different areas. You ran away. And shit went really south, okay? I'm telling you, I want this to work for all of this. Please work with me. I need you to work with me because I have information. that you might not have. You might have information that I don't have.

Why are we here? I know I have information you don't have. Yeah. I could write a book with all the information I have that you don't have. And I bet that we could go a lot farther, furthering our agenda if we shared it with each other's sister. The bickering will end here. Tyranny.

And middy? Come with us on the wagon. We'll say what you have to say, but we need, this will be the first task that we have truly nailed in quite some time. So we are going to deliver this dirt-caked man

and his terrible dog to the Mercunard-Corturier, all right? Which, by the way, is the last place you were seen. So what action? Get from the top. Why don't you?

And you see that she gestures to the shotgun seat of the carriage. Agony, like, crawls her way up onto the roof of the carriage and cruelty goes into the cell with the sort of manacled catting and everyone else,

but keeps an ear to the little slit where she can see like the driver's side. And but he goes, here! To the Mikanard Couture, their horses. All right, get here. And you see that she begins to drive

the carriage out of here and says, well, sister, spin your tail. First of all, I just feel like there's a little bit of tension happening. I'm your sister, you're my sister. We're in this together. We have the exact same goal, okay? which is to kill this dirty, dirt-caped man to use your warts.

He was a problem for Wick and I. As you guys are going to pulling at the courtyard, I need to check in with two people to see if anything happens before you guys are fully separated in space and time, which is Belair. Termina has just vanished in some kind of short-range teleportation. You see Cadigan being dragged out in. manacles, which you see as well, Wakander. And you also see Wakandr as some sur,

as Falunis is about to close this sort of double door that will leave Wakander alone for the first time in a while with Primus and Yenessa. In this moment, do you have anything that you want to? Like, you guys see that these two are absconding. So this is sort of my going once, going twice, if you wish to accompany them, if it makes sense for your character to do so.

Boler, Termina has vanished, but can't be that far away. Cadigan in tremendous danger with tyranny on it, but by herself theoretically. Wakander in another room, Wakandor, same goes for you. You see Kattigan going away and tyranny going after him.

What do Wicander and Belair do in this moment? You want to go first? Am I close to Janessa and Primus? Yes, you see you are quite close to them. You see that Primus is sort of walking to the head of the table to speak with Janessa. Do I have enough of a window to cast message? Or would I be seen?

I think that in this moment, you can do that. Yeah, go for it. I don't know where Boller is, right? I don't think so. Well, you know who I look at. You know who I look like right now. I don't know if you're aware of where I am in the room. Yeah, but he went off and off into the hall.

Yeah, I'm off in the hall. Yeah. You're out in the feast area. I don't see, I don't have eyes on him. You don't have eyes on Bel Air right now. Then I would probably cast, if I saw, oh, direction that he went, I could cast a message in that general direction.

Sure, give me like an Arcana check. Okay. That's a one. One. You got no idea where you have no idea where Boler is and there's no ability to send a message to him. Cool, then I will send a message to tyranny. Cool. And I will just sort of whisper to her,

do you need my help? I have no way to send a message back. Yeah, you can. You can respond with message. I can? Yeah, yeah. His message allows you to respond. How many words? Yeah, how many words? It doesn't say.

Short message. Short message. Less than three. Uh, yes. Yes? Oh, shit. No. Wait. You can't hear him. No, no, no.

She said yes, and she did a heart emoji. This is the first emoji I've seen said by that. You can continue the message in conversation for a moment. Really just winging it and might have a dead cat soon. I'm sticking to your story. Do you hear my primal screams of agony echoing through the halls? I know, I'm worried about tyranny right now. Do you wish me to exit immediately and follow you,

or are you okay for a bit? I'm okay, talk to your grandma. You also know the place that they are headed. Of course I do, yes. Just want to make sure that he's not gonna die imminently. As the doors close, you see that, Entering in as the feast sort of begins, Etherend Taconas walks out to kind of mingle and host.

Petra and Raya close the doors, going to join their father as Zabani, your sister, walks in as well. And she begins to walk up to Yanesa. You over here, as the doors close, that Primus approaches Yonessa and goes, well, Yonessa, how'd that go?

How'd that go? I think they bought it? And you see that Yonessa goes, well, Primus, it's going, it's not going to just be a pat on the back. It's going to be land and gold. And you see Primus goes, no, no, I can't. We provide magic for this a lot.

And she goes, well, you should have thought about how land poor and cash poor you were before you tried to summon an to subjugate all of us. I don't know what to tell you. And you watch Primus go, certainly we, we, you don't think, I mean, Otto seemed extremely irate, past the point. And you see, Inessa puts a comforting hand on Primus's shoulder and goes, while Lord Einfassen is shouting, rest assured all as well, if he were smiling, I'd be All right.

What do you do in this moment? I'm just sort of beside them talking. You haven't, I think it was like at your space at the table normally. You see that Petra and Raya are nearby. Zabani has walked up and you can see her kind of go up to Yenessa and say, Grandmother, something's wrong with the play. And I'm wondering if I have your leave too. And you see that Yenna's says, what happened with the play?

And she looks up and makes eye contact with you specifically. Zabani does? No, your grandmother. Okay. You see, Zabani looks and says, Well, it seems Helen Diel Fang is a liar. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you, brother?

You mean the man who runs the theater? You're a little friend. A liar. I know that he's a trained actor and is very good at playing a role. Before you... Grandson, before you arrive.

Allen Deal Fang had made some accommodations to change some of the more untoward subject matter of his play, and it looks like that was done as a ruse and was not honest, so he has unfortunately deceived us. He is, I should have paid a closer eye to you and your budding working relationship with him. I know that he has been associating with some untoward people. However, I cannot imagine that how, my dear friend whom I trust more than most people would ever betray

a promise that he's made. May I have my leave to go check on this for you. You see that your grandmother looks and says Wakanda leaving so soon I had hoped that you might stay. I would love to

speak. We haven't had much of a chance to catch up you and us. I would love to keep you by my side if I can. I'd be honored to stay by your side, but. She looks and says, yes, well, you know, Holland-Yelfang is the worst company kept, was of course his brother, the late Thiasi. Primus looks over and says, actually, you know,

sir, I was hoping that we might be able to speak more privately. And he sort of glances over at you, Wickhander. Give me an insight check. In sight, 22. Woo! You can see, I think you just see Primus, you haven't had any long, you've never had a one-on-one conversation with Primus Taconas in your life. You've been a lot of the same parties and gala's.

The rumors of your absence have given him some pause and your closeness to a member of the Fang family that you can tell he doesn't want to say the shit he's got to say in front of you. You're reading that on him. but your grandmother doesn't want you to go anywhere. So there's a little bit of tension here. I think on a 22 insight, you also see that Petra and Ria Taconas,

the twin sisters, the eldest sisters of Primus, are both sort of regarding you in this moment, interested at your sudden return. As you see a Primus sort of says, yes, maybe we speak more privately. What do you do in this moment? I would speak up, boy, I'm torn in three different directions right now. I would speak up and say,

Lord Primus, may I just say before you go off and speak with my grandmother alone, your speech was enlightening and in a way moving to me, the way that you articulated the struggle that all of our families face. against outside forces, and the struggle we all face within working with each other, is one that I've been wrestling with a lot lately. And I must commend you for your bravery in saying those things. I understand that you don't know me,

and I haven't been part of these communications or conversations before. But you have my word, by the light itself, that I am at your disposal. Give me a... a deception check. Go ahead and give me a deception check if you'd be so kind.

19 plus seven is 26. Your grandmother is misty-eyed. On a 20 fucking seven, she takes your hand and turns to Zabani and goes, Zabani, beloved one, go handle the theater. my grandson is ascending to his place. You see that Zabani is beat red, as you wish, grandmother. She turns, Primus looks to you and goes,

For a thousand years did the Hail of Ar and Tacornis steward the souls of men. I'm glad to know that you are possessed of vision, Wicander, young lord. of the Halifar. And Primus Taconas goes to shake your hand. I'll shake it and bow my head in deference. And then as Zabani left already? Yeah, she's walking out. I'll just one moment, Lord Primus.

Zabani! She turns. Don't do anything without checking with your masters first. She looks at you. And in a message cantrip to you goes, The dead shapers let me be the one to do it. Of course, brother. And you see that she walks out of the room.

And give me one more insight check with advantage. Oh, Jesus. With advantage. With advantage. Oh, my God, these rolls. Well, one's of one and one's a 19. 19 plus. Oh, insight is three, so 22. In that moment of watching you speak so cruelly to Zabani.

On a 22 insight, Petra and Ryerson, Toconis cock their heads towards each other looking at you, and you can tell that both of them are quite smitten with you. Ooh. Some nipples. You see that they go, they look and say, I don't believe we've had the pleasure before, but from one eldest to two eldest,

we are glad to have you all. May the Holy Spark reach you. It would have to travel every day. would have to travel ever so far. And you see, you're gonna come from you to Belair. Okay, no stem. We cut over to Boler. Boleer, same question that was posed to Wick.

You got them- What am I seen? Yeah, them rushing out, the doors close, and terminate somewhere. What would you like to do of those options that are available to you? Well, I'm gonna do the mental math really quickly. Shit, where's my system? And I'm gonna, I'm gonna to turn around a corner

to see if I can find, I know she couldn't have gotten far and I'm going to go find my sister. Amazing. Full speed. Go ahead and roll an investigation check for me. We are looking for a difficulty of 15 to get a clue. 20 gets you right where you need to go. And this investigation check will,

I will say that this is a couple of minutes, but not too many that if it is not fruitful, you would not be able to pivot and do something else. If it goes for, I will say, if it goes for two minutes, or I actually, in my head, I may hop back into the theater also while I'm searching to make a little bit of noise if that helps as well.

Incredible. Let's do the investigation first, and then we'll run the, yeah. Come on. That's 20. 20. 30, 20. A dirty, 20.

Belair, rushing upstairs, you are in the Via Aurora, and you arrive, you're like in one of the quarters of a Halovar family member. It has gotten quiet. There are some noises of servants farther away, but you hear noises that are echoing

from your internal theater, and then also you hear voices responding as the voice of Termina through Lady Cormoray is saying, well, of course, yes, I can picture that quite clearly in my head. Obviously, these forces, there's much at work that we need to, and moving into another place, this appears to be a Lady of the Haleighal of our family's private quarters.

You see that there are exquisite gowns and robes throughout, and that Termina in the person of Lady Cormoran, has bedecked herself in a bunch of finery. There's a shattered wardrobe on the ground. She's wearing probably like 20 pounds of necklaces on herself, looking at herself in a mirror and combing her finger along her chin and being like, yes, that's a brilliant point.

Maybe one more necklace. And throws it on and then turns and goes, Hello, darling. Hello. I was wondering if we could have a moment to talk. I know time is feeling very strange. to you right now. Do you...

Can I bother you for just a minute? It has been a while for me. I don't know how long it's been for you. Yes. No, no. No, no, he's fine. Are you all right? That is a question, isn't it? We are going to have to have a talk

about a lot of things in the near future. It is so good to see you. We need to catch up. I have so many questions. I have so many questions. I have so many answers. And so many necklaces. Where are the rest of our siblings?

I've been looking for a very long time, and you are the first. And I actually rush over to grab her face. Mm-hmm. You are... She grabs your face. You're the first I found, and I'm so sorry. You were the only one I didn't look for. I thought you were dead.

I'm so... I'm so sorry. I'm so... I thought you were dead. You thought I was dead? You didn't look for me? I didn't know. You're the only one I found and I have looked. What do you mean by that?

It's been a very long time. If you... Well, wait. How long have you... How long have you been awake? On and off. On and off. On and off.

Not quite a hundred years. How long has it been since we finished the play? Not quite a hundred years. And finish the play is a very... Broad term. The play may be over. The show goes on. You didn't look for me?

You died in front of us. You died. The thing in our head told me how do we fight what we were made? It was tricked. Those who made us, those who dreamed us, tricked us. And there will come a moment when you are ready

that we need to talk about finding the others. Give me a perception check. Oh, boy, I already know what this is about, but yep, that wasn't real. Didn't even look. Uh, nine. The Lux Adora in your minds theater is screaming over and over to be let out. And you just hear her go quiet for a moment and then kind of continue to

scream to be let out. But you're realizing that, that it's making, it's kind of giving you, like, there's almost a headachey quality to how noisy she's being internally. Termina looks at you and says, you've been awake for almost 100 years, and you didn't look for me.

Who else have you found amongst our siblings? No one, not one of us. You were the first voice I heard. I didn't even know that any of us could be. inside that place. She lets go of your face and takes a step back. Brother, how clever are you? Clearly not clever enough, but clever. And I know this place I have been here and I am so excited to help you. Liskit. You're wrong. He wouldn't. She is a liar. I know you take to people very closely, but she, you have to be careful with her. She is very charmed.

and very powerful end. She will be good for you in some ways, but I worry about others. Please. Give me persuasion, and we are going to roll, sort of at odds. I want you to roll 2D20

and take the result farthest from 10. Let me, I love this. Let me put one more thing on this. Cool. I drop the voice. I lose all pretense of who I protect who I pretend to be.

What else do we have but each other? And we need each other and that we'll never go away. Please. Oh, boy, that was a bad rule. Do you do a 2d20? 2D20 take the one farthest from 10. Mm-hmm, three. You are always very clever.

You've been awake for almost 100 years, as clever as you are, and you didn't find any of us? I need help. Did you look as hard as you could? How could I not? You haven't had enough time to feel like what it's... Stop it, stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Someone's not telling me the truth. Have I ever not told the truth? I may not tell the whole truth, but I tell the truth you know that. Was I supposed to die at the end of the play? Yes. That I have learned. Did you know that? No. Give me another persuasion on that three before this one will be with disadvantage.

Fuck me. Come on. So the closest one to ten. No, this one's with disadvantage because the performer was a three. Three on the die. So this is persuasion with disadvantage. Oh, okay. Sorry, wrong. Right. All right. Sorry. Now I, persuasion with disadvantage. We want to hit. Nothing I can add to this. We want to hit at least a 15. Oh, fuck me. Here we go. Nope. My persuasion's just a It's surprisingly low, and I'm not using anything against her. So that's 11.

She looks at you. Please remember anything you need, you find me and I will give it to you. Belair, give me an insight to check. I'm so fucked, I am well aware. Just normal? Normal. Thank God.

19. 19. Over the past two to five minutes, the spread of outcomes of this interaction have moved from the positive to completely within the, let's say, negative to extraordinarily dangerous. You are not looking at a whole member of the Panto. and I am going to allow you to, on that high insight check, there is a possibility for things to become extraordinarily dangerous in the next several seconds. And I'm going to allow you to act before initiative is rolled.

Okay. Like, she's still listening to the lady Cormoray. I know. So you have that window of whatever the Lady Cormoray is saying to do. Honestly. Who has the egg?

Bull bearing. Sick egg. Oh, yeah. I think I have it. But Brennan said it expires. The egg expires. It's a gross egg expire. Just throwing your sisters.

All right. I have a, I would know this, just to put forward is, is I would know whether or not I can cast a spell on her human and not her necessarily. Or if I do cast a spell on the body, it would hit the, since the human is clearly, her host is clearly conscious. It works the same. I don't think you have any knowledge outside of how you work.

So it's like, that's very fair. Right. It's like the way I work is if you hit me, my body dies, if someone knows to go for the mask, they can. But they typically don't know to do that. but I have been able to fuck with. Last time we did this, I was, I could act, well, I wasn't her body, was the person that she was with. She was a vessel to that person, so, well, that's fine, I think.

All right, here we go. I'm gonna go for, oh, that's really bad. I'm going to go for, uh, uh, is this a, uh, she's a wizard that she's on right now, right? Sorcerous. Sorcerous. Okay, I'm gonna go for, uh, Fantasmal Force. Copy that. You're going to cast phantasmal force on her. Copy that.

Um, da, da, da, da, da. Okay, one moment. Um, good spell. Um, you cast phantasmal force. Uh, what is the saving throw for phantasmal? Intelligence 14. Counter spell. Uh, I'm gonna need you to roll initiative. Does, is she, can she, she, she can, she, she can count. I'm just spell Phantasmal Force? Oh, wow. I correct, no, are there any verbal or somatic components? Oh, yeah. Okay. There are, I just, okay, so she just saw me doing something.

Saw you doing something, yeah. Fuck thing, all right. Come on, Pally. That was gonna be my escape plan. We are gonna roll, we are going to roll, but she's used her reaction. That's nice. This one B1 PVP?

This is so bad. I thought you were in trouble. A rolling initiative. All right. And we should probably, you know what? No, we can do this theater of the mind right now. That's okay. Okay, what did, her initiative was a 15.

What did we get here? My initiative is a, oh my God, I'm really crap. 11. 11, okay. I am going to, okay. Yep. Kill one. That's so scared right now.

I might. This might be the end. The dangerous scene, you guys. This is a really bad on my end. You love to see. What if we just went? Had a nice day. Had nice time.

I am going to need. Okay. Yeah. The old DM song. Yeah, I'm ready. We are all ready. The roles have led us to a frightening moment. Yeah.

Oh no. This saving throw of the spell that is coming your way is extraordinarily significant because it does no damage on a successful saving throw and a tremendous amount of damage on a failed saving throw. The difficulty for this is A DC-17 dexterity seating throw. Ew. Is that even possible?

Yeah. Got this, Tile. What do you need to roll on the die to withstand this? I have a deck save of plus two. I'm just seeing if I have anything I can add to this right now. I'm just looking through my features and being like, am I like, how fucked am I? I'm pretty fucked, hold on.

Yeah, yeah, this is fun. Not 20, baby. Not 20, baby. Oh, God. How did I'm trying to remember how I do this. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. This is how I do this. No fucking way! That's the craziest thing ever-

What is that? Fuck me. Fucking look. That's been my trick forever, so you don't look. Make eye contact with the fucking DM and you roll and you don't look until it's over. I don't need a big version here, but I have to. Go get it.

That was the whole of campaign one with that. Every fucking person killed. That's fucking great. Wow. Um. Sixth level, I'm just making sure I'm reading this correctly. Dysintegrate? A sixth level disintegrate spell

that does 75 damage on average. I would have been five. Jesus, I've got like 30 points. Boler, you go for the Fantasmal Force. It's batted away. Termina moves around, hits you with a disintegrate, does not hit you, whoo! A entire stone column vanishes from behind you.

Boom. And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna roll here, call odds or evens for me. Odds. Four, okay. You see that, boom, the column disappears. You hear the roof buckle overhead quite badly in this moment. But you also on her turn, she's got counterspell back.

Belair, it is your turn. Oh, God. Go away. That Nat20 is fucking, I mean, that was gonna be our first PC death right there. There's still time. And I can, okay, so I'm trying to remember how Warcaster works.

I can use it as a Reactive. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. I am going to attempt to, to run away. My, I'm going to have a shocked, not angry, a shocked look on her face. On my face. I am, I've dropped by, I've been my normal, I've been my proper face.

And just as I turn, I'm just going to have the, you attacked family. I will forgive you. I love you and I'm running. You turn and fucking book it. Holy shit. On that Nat 20,

I want you to make me either, as you're running, I want you, this is almost like a luck check, but on that Nat 20 saving throw, holy shit, Talison, that's so fucking crazy. Ah! I want you to make either perception or investigation your choice with advantage as you sprint out of the room. Let's do investigation with advantage.

Fucking Laura, you did this to me. God, awful. 12. 12. Okay, you go running down the hallway. You're running down the hallway. A colonnade opens up. As you are sprinting, you use your full movement and probably another dash direction.

You're looking for like, where is the easy servants entrance for me to get out of here? 12 is not quite high, so I'm gonna give you a terrible choice in this moment. Yeah, brilliant. You can either continue to run and hope that you roll better on the next turn, but also know there's nothing

stopping Termina on her turn from booking it out of here. You look out through the colonnade over the walls of the Halevar, the Via Aurora, you see a carriage pulling out, pulling down the street. There is no way on earth for you to make a jump to that carriage. There's no way at all for you to make a jump to that carriage. But you're looking at, you see tyranny and you see, and you see there's a deep, that tyranny's on the shotgun scene.

So she is visible through the night air as a little distant shape. Can't jump it, but you could maybe, you could maybe throw something. I have no, well, hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm gonna ask a thing really quick. Ask it. Is there time to cast a spell in the middle of this?

You have your action, you just have run down the hallway. Okay, so before I throw, I can cast a spell. Yes, you can. I actually don't have telepathy. I have rethoughts. It's a different thing. Okay, okay, okay, let's see. Yep, fuck it.

We're going for it. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm going for the throw. Why are you throwing? Actually, a mask? Ooh. It's totally up to you. All I'm saying is you don't see a great Heidi hole. There's not an easy place.

You're in the private residential corridors of the via Aurora. So you're not seeing a great place to leave. It's all bad options. It's either like try to survive the next turn with Termina or this truly foolish plan. Looking, you know that the Panto are made of sturdy stuff. You're not going to shatter on the ground. But then if you miss, your mask is just clattered into an alleyway somewhere.

I am going to do something mind-bogglingly more stupid than that. Great. I love it. Tell me. Tell me. So I'm on like the second floor running and I'm on the balcony. I see it going.

Yeah. I'm going to take a running leap to get a closer shot at the at the carriage. Great. I love it. Off the balcony. Off the balcony.

You're going to dive out the window. Oh, I don't want to witness left. She's got to die. Okay. You are going to go run. As you are running, oh my God. Yeah, go ahead.

Give me athletics. And if you're putting everything into it. The Luxadora only has a plus two to this role, but you, I think with a plus two to the roll, you only need, I'm going to say it's a DC-13, and if you put your all into it and fling yourself with reckless abandon, I'll let you do it with advantage. I am, there's some reckless abandoned athletics? Yeah. Fuck me. Okay. Not my best, but I will take it. You know, what do we do? Here we go. Come on.

That's, yeah, that's fine. That's actually just because I'm curious. Yep, okay. 17. 17. The wagon trundles, trundling along. Enmody looks to you and says, it says, all right, out with the story, sister.

There's been enough surprises. BAM! I need you to roll 4D6 for me. Love this. That's, let's see, Four, five, six. Fourteen points. Tyranny, the Luxadora flings herself

from an upper story window of the Via Aurora and lands instantaneously dead on the pavement before you wearing a mask on the ground in front of the carriage. And then he goes, holy shit! And you see cruelty goes, why would I miss from inside of the carriage? Do we stop?

You, in this moment, you can stop. I think the carriage stops in this moment. Thank you. Stay here, I know what this is about. I'm gonna go and I'm gonna grab the mask. Okay. Come right off. Great.

What's that? I'm gonna grab the mask. You grab a mask? Right before the mask is removed, as I know that she is dying and about to fade away, the last thing I make sure that that terrible woman hears is, you have, You've been judged, you horrible woman.

And the light goes out. Oh, horrible. Light goes out. Tyranny. I have it. I'm getting back in the carrot and I say, go. You have no idea the things that I know. I'm trying to get you on my level.

Do you understand me, okay? You guys, you take off. I'm gonna roll with a natural two on the dice, on the die. A sorceress wearing a cracked mask flies overhead. You guys pull away in the carriage, and it is not until you are many blocks down that you see that figure land by the body left there in the street.

Tyranny, your sister's looking, you know, call back, call out to some of the guards. There's a crowd gathering around at that point. You are heading off with your sisters. you see that, Enmidey says, what the hell was that? What'd you do to steal from that woman?

She's insane, okay? What I have, it's part of the bigger picture. That's what I've been trying to tell you, okay? You're right, enmity. Cruelty, you're very, very smart. Wick ran. He had a crisis of faith. But the things that I have seen him do,

he's ready. He wants power just as much as we do, okay? Your name is cruelty. You know what that means to you. And Middy, you know what your name's. Agony. You know what your name means. Pain.

Pain. My name is tyranny. That means to be ruled by one. And it's my job to make sure that Wic takes up his seat as the chosen Sion, okay? Now, I am not lying when I said that Yenessa was so ready to kill you. It doesn't matter to me that you weren't worried about me.

I was in real danger. We were in real danger. What I need you to do for me is let me kill that man and back myself. The pure emotion of the request versus the audacity of the request means that I will grant both advantage and disadvantage, which will be a straight role. You are going to make a persuasion check, and I am going to put one of your sisters at 15, two of your sisters at 20,

and getting all three of them is at 25. Okay. Straight roll. Adding your persuasion. I'm going to spend a luck point. Okay. Go for it. On the die? On the 18 total.

Total. You see, agony looks up and goes, let her. Let's let her. And you see the enmity furrows her brow. I can tell her your feelings are pure in this regard. But we cannot countermand the photoc. Let us explain our situation to the Merconaut twins.

You may torture the man in there, but he needs to die in such a way that they can tend to his. shadow. We will see you given what you require. All right, sister. And they take off to the Taylor's shop. We are going to cut over to Team Theater if we can. Let's swap, let's swap me out. Fuck, fuck. We return to the hallowed round as uproarious a plight. Act one of Cothera ends on a real upbeat. As Revolution has announced, the sword goes on high. Hooray, hooray, everything is good.

People rushing backstage up at the concession stand. You see Old Good just coins coming in. He's got fruit leather, can't move fast enough. There's cranberry rolls. There's yard grass moving out. Cut that guy off. You see, he goes back in. Murray, Murray, with Cee.

We got a staff up. See invisibility. You look out and see. see over everything, just invisible fairies rushing everywhere. Tisha in like walking the grounds during the play cast, pass without trace. So your Faye friends are not only invisible under their own magic, the celestials, the spirits of the Orkish dead, those revolutionary heroes of a long gone age of more than a century ago, as they cross the threshold, you can see them as a wizard trained to see

the unseen. But this beautiful unfurling of magic goes completely unnoticed, but does it really? The audience smiling, the painted pariah blade, the honored dead, fairies twirling unseen in the air, Azunei, you see this as well. You can look out realizing whatever magic you used in deciphering the paint, And also something, for some reason, the distant noise of the waterfalls is like pounding extra loud tonight as you look out and see this.

How you see that paint on your foot, you and Tysha look at each other and you are glowing more vibrantly. You can all see it, but because of that pass without trace, it seems like the heightened magic of this ritual, there is a sort of a sort of, spiritual and a divine element that was not given to this world. It is from the heart of this world.

It has been in this world forever. Ferrys and spirits and the loving memory of the honored dead and the promise of dreams and the paint of what has come before and what will come. The people of Dolmachiar, the Runiani and their friends and family here in this place have always been this surrounded by magic. This magic, beats in the heart of Aramon, and it's just that you guys get to see it with your own two eyes in this moment. Cheers and babbling conversation as the actors go back and change, how, as you look out and can see this spell unfurling, what are you doing, you and Tysha as the intermission occurs here?

Well, I think in that freeze frame, as I'm looking out at people rising from their seats and milling about and watching spirits drift through the, crowd looking out at Taisha. I am thinking of years of work that she and I put in together. And the belief that I had in this place, which wanted, this society wanted to forget this place, to bury it, to cast it aside as a shameful place of our past. And I always believed it could be reclaimed and repurposed for the people that live here to start a new chapter in the history books for our people and for all the people of Dolmachiar. And I'm drunk with the singular inspiration that is just flowing through here like the waters of the waterfalls of Dolmachiar. I'm

heady with the magic of it. And I think it's not even worth it to try to wipe away tears. Tice has just been sobbing and so proud. And she's so happy to have been one of the people that was wrong about this place that sees now the vision that you always had for it. And she's always been so proud of her family in the past and now is looking out and realizing how proud she is of her family now of Hallandiel and Shottia

and the things that the Ozzy has pulled off, that slippery bastard. And now the people that are here that she only sees in spirit form, that are probably names that she only knows from Loy family recitation of our family truth, that might be walking through here. She is proud of everyone and all of it, and she cannot tear her eyes away from you. I just wordlessly, we're across, we're really far apart. We kissed from like a mile and a half apart.

It's a lot of time. I use wild shape to just send. But you do see me mouth. See me mouth of words. I think I just scream. I love you. Maybe you hear it. I don't know.

It's loud. People are yelling over box wine. Mouthing those words to each other, how everyone sees a beautiful druid, a member of the Loy family, who is, as always, so at home in this, the city of, of her family, the ancestral city of her family,

everyone sees that she's been walking and providing a kind of important, truetic observation of the significance of this day, really hallowing the round. In this space, I am going to also let you know, you become aware that a hallow effect takes, this place becomes the hallowed round. Fairies are invited here because of the fairy doors

that are open to them. Undead and fiends may only enter this hallowed space with a ticket. You need ticket. Allowing, that's capitalism. If you're a patron of the arts, of course. But you see that several magical effects begin to swim and swirl around this place.

In addition to that, how I believe you cast an enhanceability before. you regain that spell slot. It comes back to you. There are, you see that there is a, somewhere, unbeknownst to you, your allies are having a tough time in Obermus manner, which doubles necrotic damage

and something, the opposite of that is happening here. Bardic and druidic spells have a chance to not use up spell slots in this place. It is a... I know you just said that. but can I do something a little stupid? Not having known that there would not be any mechanical effect

to me attempting it. Yes, go for it. I think in that walking and the first half of this play, I would like to think is a communion with the land of this place and the people of it. And I would like to expend a wild shape's thought to call the corners and call to the honored ancestors. Incredible.

You call to the Unified. honored ancestors. I don't have a question for them, but just a request. What is the request that you posed to the honored ancestors? That as they pass in peace, to just take a moment to know some small measure of the garden that was, is flourishing now here

because of the seeds sown by their lives and their love. And if I can extend that pass without trace, I would love for as many of these spirits to ride shotgun in the patrons so they can see some measure of what Dolmachiar and Khad is now before choosing to finish their trip across the bridge. Beautiful.

You give them a waypoint on the path to come and see what happened. It's possession, but like in a cute way. Yeah, that's great. Very possession. In a sexy fun way. You see Taisha, as you, You guys look at each other and see, again, Hal just looks like a hair.

Hal is like sleeves rolled, probably like a sweating from the effort of all the fucking running around and helping with the archa kind of dramatic. I'm dressing an actor as I look out of wrong. You look over as you do that. You can see both of you in spirit. Tisha is not just, everyone here sees her as a druid walking this path. She is surrounded in a storm of motes of light and leaves and blossoms and fairies swirling around here, celebrating the, the, the, She who walks the old path in this place. You look at how the paint he has stepped in,

you see that in his spirit, he is technicaler. Just that there is story and possibility and dreams surrounding him swirling up from this paint. As you cast that spell, I believe that, hold on one second, I want to make sure that I'm getting this right. And within that, calling the corners, calling to the ancestors.

You see that as they exist in this place, those who walk intermission, getting snacks, looking out, begin to look at the murals. And you see Shadia, the same sort of spiritual power that's suffusing how in this place, going up from his feet, is coming up from Shottia's wrist around her, from the painted sword up her arm. and do the casting of that calling to the corners.

Every person, all creatures capable of speech, understand Rungiani spoken in this place from this point forward. The language is understandable to them. And you watch as everyone gets a bonus to history and performance checks in this place as they begin to look at the murals throughout and feel the whispers of those who are watching the show now with them.

Oh. For the Rosetta Stone free trial. Oh, 100%. Hal watches Tysha moving through the crowd swirling in all these modes of light, and he's finishing getting this person prep for Act II and is looking at her going, the fuck, I got too much fucking thing right now. As you're doing this stuff, you see Nevada turns and says, Helen Deal, we have an enormous problem.

Lash has gone full method out of nowhere. And you look over and see that people are holding Lash to the ground as he goes, my children! Where are my children? And you can see, they're like, he's just, This place, it's beautiful, but I want my, where are they? Ajmi and Runa. And you see, it's the soul of Vokian Mirza. And you see, Neveda goes over and starts hitting him with a hand fan going,

This is bullshit. You're just paid to pretend. I grab lash by the side of the head. Tell us how you're real feeling. It's acting. You are pretending. And you see, he says, stop hitting me.

Are you one of the priests of Osgra? And she's, give it a rest. Hal, in this moment, what do you do? I just wrap him by the side of the head, and I am looking at Lash and I am looking at Mersat, fused in one, and I just talked to him. Yeah. You are heard.

This is your moment to make your lives felt to come after you, sending yourself, prepare for the hardest is yet to come. I give him a good solid slap to the side of the cheek, Lash. Don't fuck it up at the end. You see, he looks down and says, okay, and wrestles with the spirit of Vokin

who's still within him. Azune and Murray, what are you doing in this place? I'm having a great fucking night. I'm saying a dope-out show. I'm getting drunk off of Yard grass. I'm eating some popcorn. I'm talking with fairies and experiencing culture. That's great.

You guys thought you had the scary quest. You guys had the nice one. Sorry, already said that. I would love for each of you to give me Arcana now if you'd be so kind. Okay. Why? Can Hala give you the help action? Yeah, take the help action from Hala.

What is that? Is that, does it give me advantage? Yes, give you advantage. What did you get? Let's fucking go! I'm sure with your deer! Natural 20! Oh, wait, also you! But what if I, but what if I, I didn't.

But I didn't do a 27 totals. God, that's the same thing. God damn. Okay, as this happens, so this is beautiful. So this is beautiful, and this ritual is unfolding. As it does so, how and Tisha, you are fucking in it. you look at and see the spirits,

some of them have begun to rush down the old path, just excited, they've found their loved ones, and they're off on their way. I think, Hal, you also see, too, there are obviously way more spirits here than there are named characters in the play, but it does seem to be limited to Vokhian's revolution, right? You begin to see that there are other spirits in the woods,

because there are spirits of Osgra's priests that are named in the play, who you see are spilling out and fleeing from this place. You can see that some of the spirits looking at as they get this celestial status crossing the play, looking at, and there is some confusion. You see, Vokion obviously is looking for his wife and children who maybe died in the time period he died, maybe didn't.

And there is tension, as you see the spirits going, trying to find out, like, many of them are overjoyed, but some are saying, like, don't go just yet. Wait for me. I want to see my wife turning back around as you see this. Azune and Murray, you look and see the bridge between Scratelope, between the dying fields and Aramon. This river of blood, Gavidra, and you're seeing this in a liminal space.

This is happening in the underworld. The underworld, again, was not supposed to be a big geography. It's supposed to be a liminal space, but 70 years of people not passing on. Govzidra is pouring through the tenepra reaches and it's hitting the doorstep of the hallowed round where it is hitting this brilliant moat of light and turning into paint. But you look around and see that that paint

is like seeping up through the stones. It's there is a potent magic here. On that Nat 20 Azune, you look out and see that this bridge is unstable. And as it becomes unstable, the dying fields go out towards the Tintasi wood and something from the tree in the center of the stage, a like beam of moonlight,

both of them going in the same direction, a stable Trinity of bridges as they wheel out. However, you guys can see that there is a tremendous instability There is also something that appears to be like a painful thing in this space, which is a confusion of these celestial orcish revolutionaries about whether they should walk the path or not because they're unsure if their work is finished or the plays only half done. And I think all of you can feel a sense of confusion. and I think you two specifically, Murray, the frequencies are off.

Your teeth are rattling. Azune... But what started out is a really sweet moment is getting chaotic. More and more chaotic is time. The more than... Frequency is starting to get chaotic. And, well, it's almost like

too much of a good thing. It's like, oh, this is overwhelming. You can both see that Gavzidra, this river of blood, is being called here. Whatever this ritual was supposed to do was supposed to take this... You know, Gavzidra was the river sticks

in the Orkish cosmology. And the rituals trying to permanently destroy it and like rid the world of this thing that was like the blood of the Orkish people at the command of a god of war. And it's trying to transmute it into a new thing, a new path, something that could bring people peace or allow them to have this paint

to potentially create new meaning. But looking out through it, it's a lot and it's all, you, In this moment, I think on that Nat 20, Azune specifically go, Stone of Night Song, a connection to ferry. You're not sure, but you see lots of ferries around in this space. On those high checks, there is a lot of chaos and instability. And I think on that Nat 20 as well, you just have a,

you hear the pounding of the river Vroche. There is a river of blood here in the afterlife. And you just, on a Nat 20, something tells you, water, the water side. And you see not, you see Lake Nahami, you feel the power of that in this, in this deep in your chest. What do all of you do in this moment of chaos and unrest? Foof, um, feeling that surge of energy and, uh, having just let my guard down for a moment, I wasn't even that I was watching the play as much as I was watching the people taking in the play,

having this shared experience, and then getting this surge. I'm looking around my anchors, if you will, are my companions. I know how's near the stage. I had eyes on Vailas during the show, and I had eyes on Murray. I'm looking for them.

Vailas is nowhere to be found. And I think you probably saw her head out into Tintazee Wood. Okay. do I see Tysha anywhere? Yeah, you would see me sort of across on the far side of the round. And I had seen invisibility. So we are also witnessing

what other people are not, correct? And kind of seeing. Yes, you're seeing what other people are not saying. People are like going back to take their seats. They've got their snacks. The show's about to get started up again. And you can tell this was how powerful the show was as it began, and now the ritual cannot.

Like, you basically see. Something mean. The magic of this doesn't know it's a play. This was this like, it's like great ritual. You guys have snacks, amazing. You know, like, and so it's just, it's going, and it's going to resolve some way or another, and it wants to be positive,

but something's happening out in Tintazi Wood that may impact whether it can even happen at all. And if it can't happen, this energy, regardless of the positive intention, will cascade and break through the boundaries. And we feel that pool towards the woods. Is that where the sound of water is also kind of... Yeah, it's towards Lake Nahami.

You feel that, on a Nat 20, you feel that especially. I'm gonna start to head towards that. And if I catch Murray, uh... Yep, I... What's up? Where are you going? Something's... I feel calling me this way. Do you feel that surge? I do. You gonna go check it out?

Yeah. I feel like someone of... Someone should stay here. Also, where the fuck is Kettigan? He was supposed to be here. Have you seen him doing patrol? No. He must be doing that, I guess. He keeps on the outside.

Go check out the woods. I'm going to check in with Tisha. Tisha. The deer just turns to you. Azuna, you hop to the forest. Murray, you check in with Tisha. Both of you can see these now. How and Tisha, you also become aware of your own

your own position here, Tisha, you are very much the high priestess of this ritual and how you are becoming attuned mechanically to the hallowed round. You are becoming like feeling yourself as your spirit, this paint is like moving around it. But you are probably, it's like one minute to places, you know. I think in those last seconds, I will do two things. One is from the wings, from the side of the stage, hidden from view. I will scan the audience looking for any candescent creed representatives. I still am, it's not at the forefront of my mind right now. There's lots to worry about, but of course there is a shoe to drop.

Is there anybody here right now that I will have to... You do not see anybody here right now. Okay. I find Lash again. Yeah. You seem like you're in a better place. You ready for another go? I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready.

Trust yourself. You are the finest actor of your generation. What a gift for you, for us, for this city. Take it home. And I will pump back in another enhanceability into him to give him advantage on charisma and on those words, take it home, giving him a bardic inspiration as well.

Well, okay. I spin around. I'm not worried in the slightest. He takes the stage. Marie and Tisha in the moments before the play begins again. The moment you flick in, you get head-budded by Hala, and I'm gonna cast guidance via touch through my familiar. Oh, right, that's right. I forgot I can talk.

So I'm like looking at Tisha and the deer, like, not knowing who to look at. The deer is doing the same thing with you. All right. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm fully out of my league here, but spirits are feeling a little restless, and we do want them to cross this bridge, right? Because I don't know how long this sucker's gonna hold. Uh, Tysa's response is in Druidic and Runei, together, which you do understand right now.

That's right! I can control things from here, but do you see where the problem is? It just looks like there's a little bit of panic. I think that some of the spirits, not all, are feeling confused, restless, and... feels like they're resisting. I'm gonna snap and turn one of the spirits around. You good? You see the spirit turns around and says,

I don't know. I... Hold, please. Okay, fair point. I don't know if this is gonna help, but can I, like, using, like, thomiturgy and illusion kind of, you know, in the theater

where they dim the lights before the play is about to go? Can I start to, like, dim everything to try and drown out the rest of the... the noise for the spirits so that they are more focused on just walking the path. Does that make sense? 100%. All right. Give me an Arcana check as you do that.

And I would like insight and nature from you. To luck point. Okay. You have guidance as well. It's not gonna help. That was a natural one. Okay. I didn't see it, it doesn't count. Oh, I'll take that 12 though. That's gonna be a 23 arcana.

23 Arcana. Oh, with guidance, with guidance. 19 Insight. 16 nature. 26. Arcana. On a 19 insight, Tisha, you look out, it is, there's an inherent,

there is an issue of belief and of spirit that is impacting the spirits gathered in this place. They want to move on, but they care about the world. how do you, it's, it's easy to say, let go of your selfish desires. How do you tell someone to let go of their unselfish desires? How do you tell someone, move on? And you can see that these are heroes.

And they, they're not sure if they can abandon this place. On that arcana, you, so you see that there is a question of the spirit, that these spirits are wrestling with. I know that I'm not supposed to want things for myself, but how can I not stay and keep fighting for something for someone else? And I think on that arcana, you can see dimming the lights. You see that Gavsidra is hitting the theater and it's turning into paint, which is welling up. That paint is raw magical energy. Fiazzi, whatever he's, was up to, took a profane thing, and when you blaspheme something profane, double negative,

you hopefully get something sacred. I'm so glad that math worked. And what he did was take something, which was supposed to be a river of blood, the idea that you die, and it just soaks into this river and flows eternally at the behest of dead things, you can see it transmuting into paint in this afterlife. And you can see that it's burgeoning

like the theater is almost trying to also become a location in the tenebral reaches. It's like wants to burst out and exist on the spiritual plane as well. But it needs direction and it needs, you realize the paint, if paint isn't used, it's just a liquid that's gonna explode everywhere, meaning and intention.

Mm-hmm. These spirits need meaning and intention. And the fundamental act of magic on that 19, which you can't, it's not a high enough to give you the answer, but what you look at is this paint is just another liquid, it's just another thing unless we use it to make it mean something. And that the whole thing that this was supposed to happen

was what if our people and this river of blood, what if we got to decide, what it meant. I think then in my response to you, if you have a better idea than I do about how to stabilize the structure of this ritual, I will do my best to calm the people. But, and then explaining that like,

it's like this is trying to become a place. And I don't, that sounds, you do that part. You do that part. I'm gonna talk to everyone kind of freaking out. Does that feel good? Wait, what? Wait, what? No, solve the bridge problem.

Okay? I'm people your bridge. On a 27 Arcana. Come on, Deviner. Murray, you're just hanging out. We have to cut to Tim Tazzi Wood. Solve the bridge, right? We're gonna cut.

Vailas, you are holding, you are holding the Stone of Night Song. You have lurched forward. Part of it wants to go, like, you know that what this, what the ritual wants this to do, what this theater is doing to it is it wants this to be an anchor. It wants it to create stability because the tenebral reaches are kind of an abomination. The underworld's not supposed to be this big and literal. So you see in your hands that this, by anchoring it to ferry,

it means that the souls kind of don't have to go through the underworld. They can, which they don't have to go through Taconas land. They don't have to go through. They got a fast pass. They got a fast pass. Yeah. But you can feel the ancient songs of Salandri and know that in its active state,

you could bring your family home. Hannon, 15 feet away, lifts it up in the air. This moment is yours and yours alone. Have I stopped moving? Or am I still sort of being? You have stopped moving, but it may move you again at any moment. Okay.

I know that this stone was, as I've been told, not built to sit and be admired. I hate both of these paths that you gave me. Right. So I have a pitch. I love a pitch. I have a third option that I'm trying to see if we can wiggle and make a good.

new path, okay? It's all about new pads. I need to stand because I'm really nervous. Okay. What if I were to try to split the stone? Okay. And if I were to split the stone. Okay.

Making a sacrifice. Okay. Of I, all I have wanted was to get my family to a better place. Yes. That is all I've wanted. Yes. And in this moment, there are so many people who have that want as well, and I can't deny them that.

Is there something I can do? And I have said this so many times that I will put myself on the line, that I will sacrifice something. Can I split somewhere to somehow do both? Okay. Or attempt. Is this making sense? Yes.

You want both. Okay. You want both. But I will, I will, if I, if, I want, I will sacrifice something if I need to because I know this is not the, what you gave me. This is not what you presented me with. Yes, I understand.

I am happy to make a terrible bargain with you. Okay, all right. This is raw magic. It's your belief. There are two purposes that the stone is here. And the issue is, the reason I gave you those two primary choices, which other than just throw the stone away and be done with it, right? So the only of those two choices is that there are powerful magical forces pushing in both directions.

If you want to play with chance, then we have to leave it up to a roll of the dice. Okay. But playing with chance means, playing with chance means that I'm going to ask you for a a religion check. Okay. If you are able to get a 25 on a religion check, you will get everything. You'll get everything. If you get under a 25, I will require you to pick one of the two options.

But if you get under a 10, there is a chance you will die on the spot and both will fail. Woo! Fucking love stories. No, I'm gonna do it. It's good. I'm gonna go grab talism. I'm just gonna roll.

So, that means a nine or lower on a religion check. A nine or lower on a religion check is your family's doomed to the underworld and the ritual is, who knows what happens to the ritual. But you will suffer a grievous injury on a nine or lower. What do you add to religion? Five. So.

Can Han and cast guidance from 15 feet away? Can you cast guidance? I'm gonna cast guidance on myself. Cast guidance on yourself. Even if you fail, this will be cool as shit. So, stop, don't say, don't put that out there. What are you doing? On a 25, you get it all,

which means that you're gonna need guidance to basically not need a Nat 20. In the middle, you will have to pick, but I will have. Yes, I won't be getting a 25 unless we roll. But we can go ahead and roll because you might hit a Nat 20. Let's roll the guidance die first.

It's fun that way. If you do this, Four. Four. Yes, great. Now what a four means, because you add a plus five, is that on a 16 or higher, you get the best possible result. That's okay.

Ashley, if you roll a natural 20, I'm gonna have my child right now. On a 16 or possible, on a 16, on a 16, on a 16 or possible, but you're adding a plus nine, which means that, which means that, the case where you just die automatically, Stop. It only happens on a natural one.

On a natural one, Ashley, we are, Valus will be. Done? We'll be done, we'll be torn asunder by magic. It's fine, it's fine. Oh, me. So we're looking for a 16 or higher. We are looking to avoid a natural one.

All options, sir. Fucking awesome. Okay. I want to talk this through with Hanon just for a second. Yes, you look at Hanon. He looks up, what do you do? What's happening? I have lots of things that I want to do here.

But I just want to say that I, I, she was wrong. So Landry was wrong. And I'm gonna take my censor and I'm gonna smash the stone. What is this? Incredible. Now I need to take a moment here. Okay. You made an amazing pitch.

You made an amazing pitch. Okay. It was fucking awesome. And so that's why. This pitch is incredible. but I just need us to be aware that we have to have a certain degree of, we have a certain degree of awareness

that a die roll may come up at this. It's not a large chance, but there is a 5% chance that Vailas, in attempting to do the impossible, to have it all, may upend her life. And I think as you reach out and say Solanery was wrong, you realize that choices like this, choices with tremendous cost are never guaranteed. Many before you have risked everything

for the best world, have risked everything for the dream of their people and paid the price. Behind you hear the play begin again, a story of people that sacrificed everything and lost. you may be about to join them. I'd like you to roll. Oh, okay. I do this one.

14, 14 plus 9 is not 25. No. So Azune, you come thundering. What is that? Shifting so bad. So good. Azine, you come thundering into the clearing. Yeah.

You look and see in this moment that Vailas is here holding on to the Stone of Night Song, the sensor comes down. I just let out just this massive scream as it goes down. It shatters. Two things are happening simultaneously. So Landry was wrong is what you say as the sensor comes down. As it does, Azune, you rush into the clearing.

The stone is struck. You see it about to shatter apart. raw magical energy is coursing everywhere. Azune, you get one opportunity, because as I said, on a 23, we can't have our cake and eat it two. No, no, I know. Azune, you see the terrible choice before Vailas.

As the power of the stone is rippling out before her, you see crying out, you see literally, you hear the voice of a beast older than time say, remember. And you see the veil that Vailas is wearing being taken off her sister's body. You see her family in the underworld. But you also see all of the spirits of Vokhans Revolution

that need this thing to anchor them. It can't do both. You have one moment to say something to Vailis to help this decision because she's gotta make one of the other choice. Oh, oh. I'm gonna stand up too. Here we go.

How far away is she for me? 20 feet. I'm gonna run to you. Where is this river right now? You are at the shore of Lake Nahami. You're like right in between the forest and you see this stone is it's going, it's getting brighter and brighter.

It's about to explode in magical energy. One way or the other, but a choice has to be made and if a choice isn't made, I'm gonna choose a bunch of terrible things for you. horrible things for you. Ah, that. Oh my god, that voice is ringing in my mind as I'm running towards you and I see your hand

on this what looks like shattered yet being held together almost like magnetically in a way, maybe. I rushed to you. I put my hand on top of yours and... What are you doing? Wait. Wait. What do you want?

What do you want? What do you want? What do you, what do you dream? What do you hope? I dream. I hear from now, 10 years from now, what do you wish? I wish to be with my family.

You say loud, I wish to be with my family. Lucky's ball. Get him. I wish to be with, but. I wasn't done. Important for all, I swear I was it. I love it. But I don't think I can live

the rest of my days knowing that I let everybody else suffer. I'm gonna let go of the stone that I broke and I'm gonna let it go to the ritual. As you do that, unbelievable. Unbelievable. The voice is of your family in the underworld fade, Phyllis.

You risked it all. You stand. The magic room. Azune, looking at this in this moment, the Stone of Night Song is shattered, but it needs to anchor somehow. It's still unstable. On that Natch 20 you got before,

what do you do in this moment as you look at this raw pulsing magical energy? I think I register the impact of what you just did. I reach out with one hand, and I grab a hold of Velaus' hand, and with my free hand, I reach into this magic. Yeah.

And I speak the word in Sholotli. Remember. Both of you watch as the waters of Lake Nahami tremble. The waterfall, falling into it from the city, rushes, and you watch something enormous, gleaming, flow down through the river. Light ripples across the entirety of Lake Nahami.

And you hear a voice say, a dragon raises its head from the lake, not a metaphor. Beautiful. Its head is the size of like several carriages, end to end and their horse trains. It looks down. Influent NaviCon.

It looks to you, Azune, and goes, puts its claw down into the heart of the magic and pushes it into the earth, right where the water meets the forest. Blossoms everywhere. And the dragon shoots down the river, as you both watch the dragon of the river of Roche, awakens, the first dragon to awaken in this land

in living memory, as the shore permanently anchors to fairy. A door does not open, but you feel crystals growing deep underground, as both of you watch. And Murray, back at the theater, the play starts, and you don't know what Azune and Valles have just done in this space, but you can feel the bridges,

who becomes stable. I'm such a good dwarf. I don't even know what I did, but I just staplize that bridge. The deer pours you a shot of Yarkoff. Oh, hollow. You, Veilis, and Hannan drops to the ground. What has just happened is so outrageous,

No one you know who has seen a dragon, right? Other than something summoned that's like a magical, like lesser things. This thing that just raised its head and looked at you with a look of deep recognition, went back down into the water and both of you see the ground glowing underneath you. I don't know. Don't look at me. I don't know.

How did it, how did it, how did it? How did he, I don't know what you were. Where's the stone right now? Hannon, Hannon, Hannon touches both of you and casts water breathing and dives into the water, and you can see that something is glowing under the water. Cast water breathing on us?

Yeah, on both of you and says, I'm gonna go. He stops and goes, and holds your face. If I did the right thing. He just pulls you and kisses your cheek and says, so selfless. And I promise you this, the victory you won for this city, these people, today, I understand that you missed the certainty

of what you wish to do for your family. I join your fight. the home you have bought for them, we will buy for yours. We will see it done. And it will be done the longer and harder way. And I relish that journey with you. He turns and slips into the water,

and you see that there is an underwater cavern that is glowing with light here at the edge of this place. He did something to us. Do you intend to follow him? Yes, I do. I will go with you if you will let me. Gladly, let's go. So you guys both go down there into the water,

swim through the water, and see that where the water meets the forest, you look over. Unfortunately, no one from the soldiers table is here who has seen a similar cavern to this one. Shut up. But a cavern under the shore of Lake Nahami where it meets Tintazi wood, you swim into it, and the roots come down, and these are mossy

and flowering roots. And a crystal formation, the size of a house with spires of crystal in all directions, glows with light, and you can hear the hum of Nightingale spirits on the other side. The Stone of Night Song as a relic of your order is destroyed. What is created here is an anchor, exactly what was referenced in the letters of the cloak

and of the Ozzy, an anchor of Faye energy. It does not open a door from here to Ferry. It does not solve that problem in and of itself, but what it does is it gives a chance to those spirits that we saw at the play. And you do see as well, as you all look, you are being, buffeted with a powerful Faye energy.

Tintazi Wood is brimming with fairy energy. And this place is a new, something like a source of power that right now, no one in the world other than the three of you and that dragon that appeared a moment before knows exists that spoke, to you in the language of your people.

Yes. You guys stand here. Hannan looks and says, Fairfolk have been slowly dying in this world, but I cannot imagine that they would simply march into death. I have never beheld a source of Faye power like this in my life. And I would like to make the request that after today and the incredible sacrifice is made here,

that we really try to stop winging it as much as we seem to have. I don't know what you're talking about. We've got to do it. We're all over here. Really quickly. May I grab a couple little bits of moss from the door? Okay.

Yes. You grab some bits of moss. Go ahead and give me a nature check, anyone who wants through the space. Or you can give me Arcana as well as you'd like, if you'd like. Yeah. Ooh. 22 Arcana.

22 Arcana. Azune, this is a, well, I think what you recognize this as is, this is like a refuge. It is like a place of Fay protection and power in a world that is grimly lacking those. On a 22 as well, I think you would be probably interested in not knowing how this is impacting what you saw happening at the theater. What did we roll here?

12. 12. Okay. You are there with Hannan. Incredible. Hmm. Trying to see if there's a way to translate that to something that Azzanay knows. Mm-hmm.

Does it feel like a safe house? Almost, yeah. Feels like a safe house. What it's supposed to do is create this anchor. It's taken something that's like plainer travel. And you remember conjuration and necromance, the things you saw at the theater. Ferry is this other realm that goes from something that would be wobbly and creates a third. It's like a three-legged stool.

It creates something that allows it to rest in another realm, right? Stability. And that stability appears to be echoing raw, magical potential out from it. But I think there may be, you don't know what's happening back at the theater right now. Um, uh, Hannon, uh, looks and says, well, very glad my search for Mara led me to this place. I've witnessed, what, just I'll call it three or four of the most significant magical events I've heard of in the world. Yeah, this has been a bit of a day. Um, I have an idea of where Mara is at. You do? Yes.

Did you see it in the, in your vision? Uh, no, I just, I... We've been working together, even if we haven't been aware of it. We all, we know where Mara's at. Where is she? Oberma's manner. She's being held captive by House Tacinas. Fills, you knew this?

I just learned it. Did I just learn? Give me a deception joke. No, I didn't. I didn't learn this. I did know this. I did know this. I didn't know this. I'm sorry. I didn't tell you because I don't know. I don't know who to trust.

Hannan. I don't know what she want with her. I don't know what I, this is, this is insane. Okay? There's fucking dragon. Uh, uh, All right. I don't wish to quarrel in this place. Sorry, I don't know you that well, but yes, she.

I'll take the blame. We've done so much to make Vailas mistrust us. He says, all right, overmiss manner, fine. I, I, I, very well. Well, captured by the Taconas. Yes. I must away. I must away. And you see, he turns and says, I hope I see you again soon. And you see that he begins to swim out from the cavern. What do you guys do? You're in this cool crystal cave. That's as much.

I just, I don't know, this crystal cave, I know, there's so much happening where we just came from. This is, I'm in awe of this. I just, I can't, I put a hand on the crystal cavern and just feel, you know, it tactily. It tactally, yeah. We have to go back. We have to go back.

And I swim forward. You guys, you guys head back. As you do so, you swim back up. Valas, Azunae begins to head back to the theater. On a distant shore, you can see basically casting Cole Lightning is Hannah. He's casting a multi-minute spell, getting ready to go fuck shit up. up. So you see Azuna heading back to the theater and you see Hanon over there preparing himself for whatever is waiting at Oberma's Manor. Is there anything else that you guys do before you head back to the theater?

We got a whole over table to catch him. I know. Are you coming? I'll stop as I head forward and I turn just to see if you're coming. Are you coming? Yes, I'm coming with you. Please be safe. You see, he looks and says, Do you need any help? I wish that I had known a member of my order wasn't grave danger sooner. Boyfriend's mad at you. God damn it. You see, he says,

First one. He goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, I require very little. But if you, he says, I don't know how much danger she's in. He says, once again, you will make a choice. Go where your heart tells you. He's saying he's got to go to go. Take a walk.

A walk, okay. Yeah, you see, he says, says, if you wish to come aid me, you may, but I would not ask that of you. I do not know your companion. He owes me nothing, but. Be safe. We'll do the best I can.

And you go with Azuna back to the theater. Great. You head back. As you head back out, You guys get back to the theater. And I think that's where we're going to take our break. Oh, okay. That's where we're going to take our break. Can you say one little thing?

Yeah. If Hannon starts casting call lightning within the like mile area of effect that I have for call corners, I think in the midst of like trying to calm these spirits, I don't care. I feel a druid casting a spell I can also cast. I'm going to chain that call lightning

to open up the area of effect. so he has more space to work with. Amazing. Amazing. Cool. I don't know why we're mad, but we're mad. Hell yes. Hell yes.

Unbelievable. 1001 Dalmation. Cool. We'll come back to Team Theater later. Right now we're going to take our break. Incredible. And that's where we'll leave our story for now. Part two of this episode of Campaign 4 drops this Tuesday.

Thanks for listening. And we'll see you soon for more. critical role.
