We are live playing iron sworn eye of the storm. I am as always Sergio, your humble host and with me is the incomparable Amanda. How you doing girl? I'm good. How are you today? As you're speaking, I'm looking at your levels to make sure that you're coming in good. It looks like you're coming in perfectly. We have my mic coming in perfectly. We are going to have a kick ass session today. I guess I should start by just kind of recapping, huh? Yeah, I think that'd be great. Okay. Okay. So last we left. Mm hmm. Oh, man. We spent most of a day traversing the mountain, getting up the side of the mountain, finally getting into the mountain, making our way through a dark tunnel that we found.

And when we came out the other side, this incredible mountain vista, you know, just, just mountains to the north and south, something ELA has maybe never seen in this way. We eventually found a staircase that was kind of etched into the side of the mountain and started moving our way up, but clumsy ELA fell. She fell, but was able to catch herself and eventually got back up to servant. But again, a lot of time being wasted. Night descended into what would be the final day before the storm would be moving. And it was then that we finally found what we were looking for. We found the corrupted ice reach. This was a place that we depicted was like a giant plateau that had a big frozen lake in the middle of it. And in the middle of that, a stone tower that was in fact the name of this place stone tower. And we could see on the far distance, a little village that seemed to be created around the edges of the lake and servant recalled that he had been here once with Cadigan, his lost love. Leading a group of storm deniers who decided that they could live on the mountain near the stone tower and possibly be safe.

As we explored the area, we found that it was corrupted in some way. There was this white, gray fungus, some kind of moss or something strange growing everywhere, and we looked at the tower and growing on the buildings and the vegetation. When we looked into one of these buildings, we saw that on the streets there was nobody, but in one of these buildings we saw a denier, an iron lander who had stayed here. His eyes covered in white, similar to the fungus that seemed to be growing around the village. So as long as we were quiet, we could probably get around stealthily, but something obviously had corrupted this place. We eventually found and isolated one of these iron landers and tried to question them, try to find out from them what was going on and perhaps more importantly where the hell is Cadigan. And all that we could get was that Cadigan was in the stone tower and that this person had been driven mad, possibly by the fungus that had crept into their eyes and to their brains. But being too worried to leave them, we knocked them out and Ila used her magical powers to sprinkle a circle around them and by doing so locking them into place with their ward ritual. We raced over to the tower, got in using servants strength, he busted down the door, raced up and the final roll of the day decided it. We knocked open the door and there was Cadigan, but his eyes were also covered in that white substance and that white fungus.

So that is where we begin. So Amanda, my first question to you is, has Cadigan been healed by the first problem, which was that he was bitten by a snake, a snake, bear, hybrid that was in these ranges? Is he cured of that or is that the first problem? Do we have to solve that first? I feel like, I hate to say it. Yeah, I feel like honestly, unless Cadigan did it themselves while in the fraction of time that they were left behind, I hate to say that poison is still there. So I think that a servant brought the antidote and sure enough, Cadigan is on death's door, the wound, I don't think we ever decided what part of his body. I'm going to roll, I have a D12 here that has body parts on it. Let's roll it. Okay, so his right foot has two puncture marks on it, okay, from the bait. So servant runs up and immediately begins, you know, putting the antidote on the bite door or treating Cadigan. He's been training for this. And I'd imagine servant who is blind from the fungus, you know, feels it. Who's there? What's going on? Who's there?

Relax, relax, we're friends and more, I guess. Servin, you want to say something? Yeah, I think Servin would speak up and say, I'm here, my love, I'm here to rescue you. And I think Cadigan, you know, having contracted this virus, this fungus, whatever this is, might say, no, don't touch me. I'm going to do this, though. I think we should, for cautionary sake, I think we need to do a ward around Cadigan. Interesting. Just in case, because even though he's sounding okay, I mean, we could take it down, that's no problem, correct? Yeah, I'd say so.

Let's go ahead and while Servin's probably, he's focused on the foot, and that's right. I agree with that. I do think to be cautious, let's go ahead and do like a little ward around them. Okay, so when you walk a wide circle, sprinkling the ground with whatever the components are, you will roll plus widths. So go ahead and give us our first roll of the session, you're going to roll plus widths. And we're going to find out how good of a ward you do. All right. Now, I think we need to, I guess we don't have to define it right now, but what exactly are you warring against? Are you keeping him in? Are you keeping anyone out? What are you thinking?

I can't be, I can't be like, super like, create like OCD detailed and be like, I don't want whatever fungus to come out. So it's like the disease, I don't think I'm allowed to say that. So I think it's just going to have to be round cat again, correct? I can't. I don't know, that's actually kind of an interesting idea. It's an interesting use of the magic. I wonder, I mean, it's going to come down to where you succeed with this role. Okay. Yeah. Cause the way I see it is like the fungus is a living thing. Sure.

Correct. Sure. I would definitely call it a foe of some kind. Exactly. So if I wanted to be a smart ass, which is I would do that and keep the fungus inside. So if we, Huh. I think that's a really interesting way of doing this.

So, okay. Let's roll plus widths and see. No modifier, right? No modifier. Okay. Let's see if, let's see how my. Okay. It's either going to be a miss or you can burn it and make it a strong hit.

Oh, did it not go through? It did go through. Oh, now we're going to burn the momentum. We're totally going to burn that momentum. So it's a strong hit. You cast the, the spell and I would imagine like a magical glyph or something kind of envelops the space. Now let's define here.

When you first, uh, uh, to trap a foe. Okay. So it's likely to trap a foe within the boundary. So we'll say that the magic went off and servant kind of finishes putting the medicine, the antidote into catechin. The question is, do you then want to move catechin out of the. I think it's worth it. I think we should give it a shot.

Okay. So because you're going to do that, we're going to say, we're going to basically roll the D hundred and likely, let me look up what likely is. Hold on before you roll that. Likely is like pretty like one second. Let's make it work. Where are we? Okay.

If you roll a 26 or greater than, than it, it will work. Oh, please. Roll the D hundred. Let's see what we get. This is interesting. Oh, I'm so stressed. Wait. 26 or greater.

I got a 28 or greater. So you just, you just make it work. What does that look like, Amanda? Like just getting the magic to take hold. What does it look like? I felt so stressed in that moment. Okay. So let's go ahead.

Yeah. We're going to, I'm going to call out to survey and I'll be like, I have an idea. I'm going to grab him and we're going to pull him and hopefully the, the fungus stays inside because I'll be like, it's living. It's just trust me. And then we're going to hopefully he'll go with it and we're just going to gently cause he is still hurt cause I'm not going to like rip him, but we're going to go ahead and like the way I say this,

he's going to phase through, but he ain't going to be pretty. And it's going to be pretty painful. Cause if you think about it, it's going to, it's like his bought it. Like, you know how Magneto would put like, like rip the iron. Think of it this way. He's leaving and you're just seeing this get like trapped and white fungus like coming out of all of his pores out of every little thing. And it's cause it's all around and it's going to hurt his eyes probably.

So he's going to like, he's going to like stumble out, but you will see that he is, he's not probably the best shape. No, probably not. I mean, I think that was a really clever way of kind of getting rid of the, the fungus. I think we're definitely going to mark progress on your vow of helping servant. We have finally found Cadigan.

We have kept him alive, used your magic in a very interesting way. My question though is if it is that intense of a thing, I think we should have Cadigan endure harm. That, that is fair. Yeah. That's fair. That makes, yes. What do you think is higher?

Do you think his health is higher? Or do you think his iron attribute is higher? I think his iron attribute. Yeah. I would imagine Cadigan and servant are probably pretty tough like hunters or something like that. Yeah. Okay.

So roll iron and I'm going to let you add plus two to the modifier. Oh, thank goodness. Cause iron is not there. Yeah. All right. Let's go and come out. Oh, strong hit. On a strong hit, the person can shake it off.

If their health is greater than zero, they'll suffer one momentum or they, they can take the pain. Let's just say that you are such a good ritual caster that you're able to pull them out. And although it's not a very fun experience, they're alive and they're okay. Oh, that's good. That's great.

Yes. Then we can go. Okay. Yeah. So there's this moment where, you know, Cadigan, although he is definitely fatigued and he's still kind of recovering from the poison. You know, he sees servant and there's this kind of embrace. Now remember, servant has this iron mask on his face that I don't know if he got it

before or after he met Cadigan. Maybe he met, maybe he had it before he met Cadigan. So it's just like, you know, they love each other for what's on the inside. I mean, yes, we saved you and the least you could do is be great. He's definitely grateful. Don't break up in this moment. All right. Give it some time.

Okay. So there is a moment of quiet. Yes. Cadigan is, I would say, probably too weak to walk on his own. So he needs to be carried at least by servant. What's our next step? Our next step would be, well, because how much, how many villagers were outside, by the way?

I don't think we did a very good job of kind of surveying. So servant just remembers kind of a group of iron landers, you know, make camp here. So we don't know how many people there are. It's about sound and so we stealth and quiet our key. Okay. So you think you just want to get out of the tower and we want to get out of the tower.

We're going to do it carefully because he's also hurt. Is this room pretty barricaded right now? Is actually, is this room pretty barricaded safe or could he have like a minute to bust out the door to get in here? So it's, yeah. Time to go. All right. So we're going to continue to delve the depths because we decided this is a site that we

can walk around in. I've lost where to do it. Let's see. Delve moves. Here we go. All right. So you are moving quietly. So we're going to roll with shadow.

Okay. Don't have a lot of shadow, but let's see how it turns out. Come on. We got a complication. Yeah. So your momentum is back to two. You can't do anything about that. It's a miss with a complication.

Now we are tracking a menace here under your vow and I'm going to give some progress to that because maybe cat, maybe the antidote isn't taking the cat again. He's just not recovering as fast as you'd like. But there's a complication. Yeah. I think honestly, let's go with it. It's cat again. He's maybe starting to bleed out a little bit more because he had a bunch of fungus

ripped out of his veins. Okay. Maybe he's starting to, ooh, what if he's bleeding from the eyes because his eyes were cloudy? Sure. Yeah. Absolutely. All right.

So a little, it's got to be a little bit more than that. This is a critical failure. So not only is cat again not doing well, but let's let's do something. We, um, last session, we created a ward around that one iron lander and knocked him out. Maybe he woke up. Ooh. Now if he woke up, I need you to roll the D hundred and on a 26 or greater, he can't

get out of the ward. Please stay in that there. Okay. So he can't get out of the ward, but I think, and you tell me what you think here. What if he, what if we got out of the tower and you hear him screaming? Yep. Totally agree. Definitely.

Uh, are we, we're going to still have a cat again hurt a little bit. I still think, uh, or we can, let's hold it. Why are we making it difficult? So in the beginning, let's relax. It's just, hold on. There's more opportunities for me to mess this up. So yes. So, you know, you've got cat again.

You can hear the guy screaming. I bet you at a certain point, you can probably start seeing iron landers coming in. Iron landers coming out of the huts, although they're blind, you know, they're, they're trying to feel and trying to figure out what's going on. It's time to get out of here. Right. I'm freaking. I'm going to, uh, yeah, we're going to have them go.

I'll have the two go ahead and I'm going to keep my sling out and do I, I'm assuming have a couple of rocks on me. And the reason is I want to probably start flinging him way in the on different, different directions so we can start putting like, uh, like false noises to distract. Sounds like to me you're trying to secure an advantage. Yes. So let's do that. Um, are you using your agility and your precision or are you using deception or stealth?

Are you using observation expertise or insight? Oh, um, I think it's either, it's going to be either stealth. I mean, because I could, now remember your, your highest stats are edge and heart and wicks. What was the last two again? I'm so sorry. Um, if you roll with expertise inside or observation, you'd roll with wits. If you roll with deception, stealth or trickery, you roll with shadow.

Okay. But if you roll with speed, agility or precision, you roll with edge. It's going to be precision because I'm going to, yeah, because I'm trying to be noises in certain places, right? Yes. It to be, that's why I'm like, I'm going for that spot. Okay. Rolling some edges.

Yes. So we're going to roll edge. Parker is catching me off guard with these compliments. Thanks Parker. It's because I'm wearing a collared shirt. That's why. Oh, you do look good. I like green on you too.

Thank you. No problem. Let's see. Let's see. Good luck. Come on. Let's go. Damn.

Damn. I'm sucking today. Oh boy. So amiss. So what do you think? What do you think happens here? Lord, I, let's, okay. I don't get.

If you want, we can pay the price and kind of define what happens. Yeah. Let's pay the price. Okay. Roll a D 100 and let's find out. I'm 62. 62. It is harmful.

Oh. What just happened was harmful. To me. To whoever we think needs to take the harm. It's not going to be to the enemy. No. Let's say that's a threat. This is where this comes into play now.

Guess who's like, like maybe uh, uh, sir. Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, um, not serving. Okay, Katie again. Okay. Cadigan is going to, he's too weak. Maybe he starts, uh, he falls and let's say. His foot. His foot is really starting to bleed out.

Okay. Or I think that's totally fair. I think though that doesn't necessarily resolve the action of the rock swinging. I can, oh, I can miss. And it's either I'm hitting myself or I'm hitting Cadigan. It's going to cause harm. Yeah.

So do you want it to hurt Cadigan or do you want it to hurt yourself? It's going to, it's going to go Cadigan. Sorry, bruv. Yeah. It's going to hurt Cadigan. Well, cause I, unless I'm like, I really, I'm like, I, the way I see it is, if this person uses a sling so often. Uh-huh.

Well, hold on. I feel bad. Can we roll for it? It's going to be me or Cadigan. Sure. 51 or greater. It's you. Yes.

It's, it's, it's one of, it's one of those. Let's find out. Let's go. I mean, boy, Ila's really turning out to be clumsy because she totally hits Cadigan. In one of her swings, she just backs up too much. Yeah. Bunks him in the head. Oh my God.

I'm going to say that he's unconscious at this point. Yeah. That's fair. Um, and I think that's really the miss. The miss represents that the noise, the commotion that you create catches the attention of the village. Yeah. Right.

Like they're starting to move in the direction that you guys are, are doing so, or that you're heading. So there's no option but to run here. Unless you want to fight or something. No, it's either run or we do another run, hide ourselves in it and then I create noise and do that. But I don't think we have the time to do that. So I think it's, we need to step it.

Okay. We need the goal. At any point, you could technically roll to escape the debts. We would not technically complete the journey through this place, but we could escape it at any time. So I think there's enough distance, enough distance between you and the villagers. You can probably attempt this role. So if you're just moving quickly, roll plus edge and let's see what happens.

Okay. Let's see. Let's see. Come on. Come on. Give me something. Damn. All that good luck from the first time.

Almost did a, I almost did a spit take. Holy crap. So on a weak hit, you find your way out, but this place exacts its price. Choose one. You endure harm, you endure stress. It costs you time. You leave behind something important. You face a new complication or a denizen plots their revenge.

From what's going to happen, I feel like cause we have our little zombie horde coming after us. I, uh, someone's getting hurt. You know what? I'm so sorry. This is just a weak hit that I just read. We roll the miss, which is a dire, a dire threat or imposing obstacle stands in your way, reveal a danger.

If you survive, you may make your escape. Okay. Zombies, bruv. There's gonna be more in front of us. It could be a, a, a, a denizen of this layer. Let's roll a D hundred to find out what I am really missing this up for people. 80. You face the consequences of an earlier choice or approach.

You face the consequences of an earlier choice or approach. What were some of our earlier choices that maybe, what do you think? Wait, from when leg played or when I played? From when leg played. Thank God. Cause I was about. I mean, it could, it could be the, uh, I don't want to even say it because I don't want to put something weird is happening with the ward.

Who knows ward. There could be that, um, you know, maybe the guy, maybe everyone, uh, ghost of Eli says the stairs, uh, I mean, but that wasn't a choice we made. We were just clumsy up those stupid stairs. I don't want to say it, but I'm going to go ahead. It's the ward we did on cat again. Maybe something happened and now he's getting, maybe he's blood loss. Maybe starting to shake and starting to lose blood too fast.

You know, you keep putting this on cat again. Yes, I did. You know what I'm saying? I do that. Well, he's, he has a head wound or maybe I get, maybe me cause I've been, how many times I've done two wards already. Maybe. Hmm.

Cause I don't mind, I don't mind taking the brunt of that, but I just trying to think from where we're at currently in the store. Yeah. So you're, so you're saying that the ward you did was almost too powerful and it affects you somehow. Yeah. Cause I did too. Yeah.

Oh yeah. It's almost like blowback, magical blowback or something. Yes. Oh, okay. So let's have it. Do you like that or what? Yes. Let's have it.

Like, uh, I'm starting to get like a piercing headache and like nosebleeds and then it's like, I kind of like stumble that woozy and I actually dropped to my knees and I'm trying to like, maybe like a really powerful headache and I'm trying to get my bearings while that's happening in poor cat. This is interesting. Okay. Oh, we just made a word. Yeah.

I think, I think you're going to have to endure harm. Yeah, for sure. So the most logical thing, uh, as you take this kind of psychic energy damage, um, you're going to roll either health or iron, whichever is higher, but I think for you, your health is probably higher. Your health is at a three. Yes. Let's go ahead and roll.

Make that roll. Let's see what happens. Don't screw. Okay. We hit. We hit. You press on. So nothing happens.

You kind of, ah, you, you know, falter for a moment, but you're able to, you know, you just, you're able to kind of get, get past it and you continue on. So this was, uh, the, this is the escape. Now. Yes. Okay. So you have this kind of psychic damage. I do think we need to reduce your health by one, because I think that's how the rules

work that if you endure harm, you're going to lose some of your health. Yeah. That, that makes sense. I, I just reduced it to two. Perfect. Um, so you guys managed to get out of this area, clam, clamoring down the stairs, serving, carrying, categin, you're going to eventually make it back, um, without, I would imagine much trouble, uh, back to the, the, the caves that you had found by this time.

It's probably very dark. It's, it's probably nighttime. Yes. Maybe it does deserve one face danger role to get to those caves. Okay. Disagree or agree? No, I'm, it makes sense. It's nighttime.

We've been, we're weak or tired. Exactly. So we're going to face danger and that is, okay. Um, how are we moving with speed, agility, with, uh, expertise, insight, uh, expertise or insight? Yeah. Cause we're, yeah, we're not, yeah. That's the best way to, yes, I agree with that.

Uh, yes, Parker. So health is displayed at the very top. You'll see health plus two, spirit plus four, supply plus four. So that's where you see everybody's health next to their name. Um, but anyway, let's have you roll with wits, wits it is, please no crit fail. Oh, good. Yes. Strong hit.

Finally. You are successful. You're going to take plus one momentum. So increase your momentum to plus three. And what's great is you do in fact make it to the caves. Now, is it time to make camp? You do know that the storm is right around the corner. Just like, oh God, I don't like these decisions of the store in this guy's, is he still unconscious?

He's pretty not. I think that if you made camp, you could find out right now, I think he's probably still is definitely unconscious. Let's go ahead and see if we can examine and see if I, do I have any like smelling salts and like put it under his nose? I wouldn't put it past a witchy girl like ELA to have something like that on her. So are you trying to heal him? I, uh, yeah, I'm going to try to heal him and just try to get him up so we can keep

it moving. Okay. So you're going to use your shaman abilities. You're going to roll plus wits when you treat an injury or ailment. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Come on.

Come on. You know, you want to get, wait, did I do it again? No. There you go. We hit. We hit. Okay. We hit on a weak hit.

Shoot. You have, uh, see on a strong, uh, your care is helpful. If you have the wounded condition, which he doesn't, you may clear it, then take or give up plus two health. Okay. So let's say that you need to suffer minus one supply. That's fair. So supply goes to three and momentum also drops down one.

So that's going to go to two, two, but cat again, the antidote is working. It's kicking in, you know, you're, you're tending to the bleeding. You wrap up his foot so he's no longer bleeding. And sure enough, he's, he's coming back. He's conscious. He's even able to kind of stand up on one foot, but that we hit, uh, symbolizes a loss of supply and a loss of momentum. So we'll say that time has been cost.

Yeah. That took some more time for sure. Yes. So serve in turns to you and he says, what do we do? Do we, do we, you know, damn our exhaustion and keep trying to return to the village or do we try to make camp and hope that the storm doesn't head in the direction that isn't going to be helpful to us when it's nighttime. So it's even worse.

Oh God, how long do you think it'll be till sunrise? Like a full eight hours or like two or I'd say it's probably going to be closer to like six hours because we spent most of the night trying to get catting and back. We did. Okay. And I'm trying to like, it's too dangerous, unfortunately for us to move. So and also catting is probably very exhausted. So let's go ahead and we're going to rest, but I'm going to like, um, I don't want him

to fall asleep. So I'm going to try to keep him up and then just like get him to recuperate for at least now or so where it gets, I know where it's closer to dawn. Because if we, if we do, if we do too much traveling, I got a feeling he's going to get hurt and we, it'll be harder to treat at this rate. I hear you. You are going to make camp. So you're going to roll plus supply.

No supply currently is at a plus three. I'm so nervous. Let's see. Okay. It's a week hit. We can't. Okay. Good.

Um, on a week hit, you may choose one. You either recuperate health. You, um, partake where you suffer supply, but you can take plus one health. You can take plus one of your spirit plus one to momentum or plus one to your next undertake a journey role, which will be coming up shortly. I think plus, uh, to health. Okay. So your health is going to go up to plus three and a few hours pass where you rest in this,

this cavern, um, servant and categin are catching up and enough time. Yeah. I'm going to be, go ahead. I'll be on the edge. Well, I'm like, I'm sure they're just chatting, but I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to be a peeper. I'm going to let them just reconnect. Okay.

I'm being nice. Yeah. I think at some point, categin would probably, you know, kind of scoot over to you though and say, I, I want to thank you for, for bringing me back to servant. When I went into the storm, I didn't think I would ever see him again. Thank me when we get back. I mean, we like, I appreciate it, but let's, I, I'm too filled with anxiety. I'll take the thank you when we get back.

Beautiful. Um, I think after a making a camp, the new day comes and it's time to roll to see in what direction the storm moves. So, uh, we are currently in this center, uh, mountain square, uh, or hex. I'd like you to roll a D eight, the eight being true north and then working backwards. Let's see what we get. You got a three eight, seven, six, five, four, three. It moves southwest.

So it's moving away from you. It's not a good direction. Um, let's say. It's going to move. Uh-huh. It's going to move like here. I think that's as southwest as it feels. Yes.

So now here's the thing. Here's the interesting thing. Yes. That little hex that we were on is just poking out at the top of the, of the eye. So when the three of you come out the other side the next day, let's roll to ask the Oracle whether the storm is just passing over or do you have maybe a few hundred feet or whatever to, to try and get ahead of it. Stuck in that thing.

Let's roll a 51 or greater. Excellent. So I was going to say that you have some space. Thanks. All right. The storm, like imagine a mountain and a storm coming over the side. Right. Yes.

We're going to go. Okay. Now. You are trying to get out of here quickly. You're going to face danger or you're going to undertake a journey. Which one do you think? I don't even know what journey we would face at this point. I think it's.

This is the journey that we're trying to face. Right. Yeah. I feel like danger is like. Yeah. Yeah. And we're moving with speed. So roll plus edge.

Okay. Let's see what we get. Come on. Come on. Treat me right. Virtual dice. Nice. Okay.

On a strong hit, you are successful. Take plus one momentum. Yes. Okay. All right. So we'll go. I think this strong hit is worth marking progress. Ooh.

Which means we have. We have seven out of 10. That's awesome. Right. Okay. Yes. It would be a little risky to roll now. So we could either continue making progress and try to gain some more to guarantee a better

score or you can try to risk it all right now. And maybe something happens. We're able to get out of this quickly. But if you fail, there will be consequences. Oh, no kidding. Okay. So, okay. It's I feel like it's slightly too soon to roll that dice, but it's coming.

I got a feeling just I want to see if we can at least get up to eight possibly even nine. All right. So the strong hit symbolizes getting out of the cave, heading down the side of the mountain, avoiding the things that slowed you down before and basically getting to the base of the mountain. But the store is continuously following you. You literally have to book it. So I think you're going to let's see. I think you, you should undertake a journey.

Okay. But I think it's going to cost you where you might have to endure stress because it's just it's so much, right? It's so much to endure like nonstop, right? Not like the damn storms like right on our butts. Yeah, it's going to I'm stressed. Okay. So first let's undertake a journey.

You're going to roll plus widths. Let's do this. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. No. That's a miss on a miss.

You are waylaid by a perilous event. You are going to pay the price. So please roll a D 100. That complication or that miss also is going to increase our menace track. If the menace track itself gets to 10. Cadigan is not going to make it. Oh God. Okay.

Seven. Let's see what pay the prices for 67. It is harmful. Does all of this running and illa being so clumsy mean you hurt yourself? Go. I'm definitely I pulled something. I've pulled some. I definitely let's.

Oh, how about this? Running. I. Trip on like a root. Like a tree root and. Let's say I crash really, really hard. I hit off the trunk off the ground and what? Would let's injure.

Yeah, we're going to injure myself. Okay. Reduce your health by one. And you're going to endure harm. Do we know which body part got hurt though? We can find out depending how bad it is. And this role will determine that. So you're going to either roll your health or iron.

And I think your health is still higher. So. Okay. My question. I just because I was at a health at three and I just moved it to two. That's where I want to roll out to. Yes. Okay.

Just want to double check. And come on. I'm okay. I'm okay. We can hit on a weekend. You press on. So nothing's broken. But it hurts.

But you're hurt. You've taken quite a few hits. You are not as beefy as half. A little witchy woman. And yeah, you're taking some hits, but you guys press on. You're continuing. This is not a success. We need another success to be able to kind of get out of here and to make

some progress. So what, what do we do? What's the next step? Okay. There's. We're still, we can't really run. There's nothing we can do. It's like we're running or.

You can continue to face danger, undertake a journey. You can attempt to reach your destination. Yeah. I'm debating if we should just, yeah, let's reach the, we're going to keep trying to reach your destination. Well, this is a progress move that would actually help you reach your destination. Well, this is a progress move that would actually kind of be like fulfilling

your vows. So it's kind of one in the same. And the problem is, is that you'd be rolling against that seven progress, right? So it's going to have to be either secure an advantage. Okay. Face danger. What do you want to do?

Okay. Uh, let's go ahead and. I see the wheels turning. Yes. So, because that's for the, ah, ah, okay. Secure an advantage. This is cause I'm a little dinged and we're a little winded, but because I have some special powder hers and I'm a witchy medicinal.

I have some. So think of it like. Adrenaline powder. So. A little cocaine. Maybe. I did not say that. I said adrenaline power.

Powder. It's like. Okay. Yes. I love that idea. I love the idea of ELA having a little bit of something that she knows. Two, two bumps will get her and, and serve and going. It will, it would kind of surpass like a mental thing where yes,

that's where they're going to try to do that where it gets them running fast. You know, get them going. So. The most logical thing is that you're using your expertise. So you're going to roll plus wits. Let's do it. Come on.

Give this. Let me have this. Oh, I have an opportunity. Okay. On a strong hit, you gain an advantage. You may either take control and make another move now with plus one, or you can gain plus two momentum. Oh, that's what opportunity means.

It's a strong hit. Yes. Sweet. Okay. So you can either make another move, like an undertake a journey or a face danger and add plus one to that, or plus to do your momentum. What do you think?

I got a feeling we're going to need this momentum soon, especially with. Oh, what do you think, sir? I don't know. I mean, they both are a good option. Adding the plus one to your next move is usually helpful. Yeah, but you're right that a plus two would bring you to five in your momentum and you could negate a bad role coming up with our luck.

My luck so far. That's where I'm like, and I also have cat again, and I know he's not at the peak form. That's where I'm trying to think of like we're going to get to a critical moment and that's where that I'm going to go to the momentum just to. So increase it to five. Done. And this is an opportunity.

So this is even, this is a critical success. So you take those bumps, certain feels it, you're feeling it. Yeah. And it helps. It actually helps you make progress. I'm going to go ahead and increase. Well, this is a secure and advantage. So, so we don't make progress with secure and advantage,

but now the next role we could possibly. So do you want to face danger, undertake a journey? It looks like it's going to be facing danger. Let's go ahead with the stuff like elements in front of us. Is there, was there a bridge we crossed and it's gone? Or is there a thing blocking our way? Is there an animal nearby? Jeez.

Is there a fungus asshole coming by? I think it's the combination of the storms right on your back. Yes. You're going downhill. So you're like kind of at an awkward angle. Yeah. Okay. And yeah, there's, you know, there's, there's, there's jungles.

If you look at the, not jungles, there's forest. Like if you look the, there's like a valley that you're kind of going down into, but there's a lot of trees and stuff. Let's, let's go ahead and face danger of, ooh, okay. And so how are you approaching it with speed and agility? Yeah. At this point. I feel like speeding agility because we are extra amped.

What? That's true. I think you're right. I'm trying to justify like how you could use courage, like courage. Almost like you're just, you're so kind of buzzed. You're not even like, you know, okay. So because they are, they are on like a pure adrenaline shot. Yeah.

They're just going for it. They're, let's say there's like, okay. So we're going down a steep thing. What if, is there a way like there is like almost like a deep cavern or something? Like it's dangerous that if we go off like this kind of trail, we could literally be falling to our doom with rocks or river or something like that. Like it's a deep dip and we have to keep going. But because we're so amped, we're not thinking like, we're just going.

We're just running. This is the perfect reason to roll with courage. Run. Okay. You always, you have to have a lot of courage to take hard drugs. So let's roll that heart. Let's please roll that heart. Give me.

Oh, no. Can I use my momentum now? It's not high enough. It's not high enough. Oh my goodness. This is why you don't take things on a miss. You fail or your progress is undermined by a dramatic and costly turn of events. The threat of the menace track is going to go up,

but more importantly, you must pay the price. Oh, no. Roll the D 100. This is so dramatic. 89. I'm worried. It wastes resources. We.

Oh, okay. What happens? I had a bag, correct? Yeah. Or I lose the sling. Can I lose the sling or do I lose all the bag? I think the whole bag. I think that, I think that what this kind of mechanically means is that we reduce our supply.

Yeah. So I think like, yeah, maybe some foods, maybe, maybe some, some rocks. Maybe my bag gets caught on a rock and it snagged and it ripped and I jerked it out. So I'm still running, but it left a hole and we lose some supplies just from that. Okay. Reduce that supply to two. It wasn't three. It's going to go to two.

You have, you like, basically you're not able to get ahead of the storm. It keeps slowly gaining on you guys. We need to roll again. What are we rolling? Guess more danger. What else is here? Yes. It hasn't really changed.

We're just keep going. Okay. We're going to continue to face danger then. Yeah. I guess, unless you have a better idea. Okay. Either with courage or agility and precision, harder edge. No.

Okay. So let's keep the terrain is the terrain that we are on is getting narrow, like getting smaller and smaller and smaller. So there's very like little room for error. Cause that's what I think it's going to happen. And I don't know, like maybe one of them starts to come down, but this is, yeah, it's dangerous territory. Like one false step.

We're going to definitely. Okay. So what are we, what are we rolling with? What attribute? That would be kind of courage because they're still ramped up. They're like, she's still definitely. Roll that heart. Let's do it.

Please. Okay. We can't. Better than a miss. You succeed, but face a troublesome cost. So we are going to. What are we losing? I think we're going to.

I think it's worth marking progress. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah, we're going to go up to eight and you are either going to suffer momentum, endure harm, endure stress or suffer one supply. Suffer momentum, harm, stress or supply. I might as well lose the supply because that makes, because I have the hole in the bag. That just, you're just bleeding your, your, your things.

So supply goes to one, but you have, you know, effectively kind of made it through the worst parts of this. You guys get to the base. You know, it's easier from this point on. Okay. You have eight progress on your vow. Do you want to fulfill it now? Or do you want to try and undertake a journey and bring it up a little bit higher?

I think it's time to fulfill the vow because it's, you are going to make a fulfill your vow role. All right, everybody. Give me good energy. Good vibes. I need a better. We need good vibes from the chat. So I need sun.

Yes. When you achieve what you believe to be the fulfilling, the fulfillment of your vow, you are going to roll the challenge die, which is 2d10 against that eight. So roll 2d10 and they both have to be less than eight and you cannot use your momentum on this and eight and a seven, which is a weekend. Not a week hit. There is more to be done or you realize the truth of your quest, envision what you discover and then mark experience.

You may swear an iron vow to set things right. If you do add plus one. So we get out of danger. We get far enough away from the storm that it's clear the storm is moving in a direction that we are now ahead of it. Yes. I know that the tribe is coming up shortly, but what, what, what do we envision happens on this weekend?

There's more to be done or you realize the truth of your quest. It's not really like the truth is he wants his lover back and he got them. So that's it. So the. I feel like, yeah, the first option, we're going to, uh, we're going to, we're going unless you got something in your brain. Well, it's, it's, it's a matter of we now have to creatively come up with why is this vow not completely finished and is it because we're not technically at the camp yet?

No, because by fulfilling your value, we basically succeeded. Like we're basically going to hit the tribe, but there's a complication. There's something that we weren't expecting. You know, maybe, maybe Elah has become obsessed or interested in this corruption that, that, that she came across. Ooh. She certainly wasn't expecting her ward to work on it. No.

You know, what happened if you did it to the other villagers? Would it save their lives and being going back? No, I'm not going back. That's for sure. Hmm. Okay. I, I, oh, maybe this, um. I think this is going to have like, uh, an effect of like, they want to probably study

way more into their magics, like really, because they already are pretty, maybe God, I don't want to say it because I don't think they would experiment on random people. No, but that is a vow that one can take is like, I want to better understand this ability that I have. Yes. Because of that disease. That's the thing. Cause of how we solved that little thing earlier.

Like Ward, it's more that think of it this way. It's not just like it's physical, but also on a like a very, very small scale. So that's where it's like this kind of like her coming up with that was just kind of like, I'm going to take it hunch. And then when she saw that went into fruition, she's going to really be like, this kind of expands her mind a lot more. She's like, I, now she's going to probably start experimenting a lot more with magics. So I love that.

I can imagine, you know, they're, they're on their way to the tribe, probably sunsets and they got to make camp and maybe rest for a little while and I could see her looking at servant and saying, I have to know more about this ability. I didn't know that I could do that. And you know, I have to find out more, find out more, yeah, especially it learned a lot more of the power that she didn't realize you had. Gotcha. So, so it sounds like we do want to swear an iron valve of some kind.

How would you describe this? We'll, we'll erase our menace because we've succeeded in that. We'll fulfill our vows, but now we have a new vow here. The vow, I would say is to learn as, test the limits of their power for sure, see how far they can go, see how more powerful they can get. Power of war. How difficult do we think this is? Honestly, it could be troublesome.

It's literally just a matter of experimenting. Yes, it could, it definitely could get more dangerous for sure. It could be dangerous. Basically, the longer the higher it is, the longer it's going to take for her to truly comprehend her abilities. Maybe formidable. It's like, what do you think? Formidable is one progress every time we succeed.

Um, I'm totally down with that. It just sounds like it's going to be a journey for her to kind of, you know what? You're right. You know, that's totally absolutely correct. Let's go ahead and we should make it a little bit more towards, because it is testing her abilities to see how far it can go. That's not going to be something you could probably do in like a day or so. That's going to take much more time.

And yeah, I agree with that. Let's go ahead and ramp it up. Okay. So it is going to be formidable or it's going to be dangerous. Let's go dangerous. Okay. So you are going to swear an iron vow. This is something I always forget to do every time we do this, but we're going to

roll. This is an actual progress move, uh, or a quest move. So you are going to roll if you're going to roll plus heart, if you make this vow to a person or community with whom you share a bond, add plus one, it sounds like you're kind of making this to yourself. I'm, yeah, this is strictly for myself. So I think you're going to roll just plus heart, but fortunately, that's your best attribute.

That is my goodness. And we get nice long hit on a strong hit. You are emboldened and it is clear what you must do. You may take plus two momentum. Oh, your momentum goes up to seven. Yes. And it is clear what you must do. Amanda, what is clear to Elah that she must do to fulfill this vow?

She is going to, uh, I was about to say, um, I, there's no like books or tomes correct that she's had access to or kind of bookkeeping that the iron landers keep. Yeah. I think the historians and the cartographers, you know, have books. I think, um, she's going to, yeah, I think, cause I, I feel like she is very knowledgeable, but there's maybe things that they have more and she is going to try to see as much as possible.

And if there's nothing in this camp, then probably she's going to start taking more ventures outside to see if there's any unearthed civilizations and just always scavenge. That's just how that makes total sense. So they return to the tribe and are maybe not welcomed, but it's certainly nice to see them return with a catechin or with a servant's lost love. They can act a little grateful. I think they would be happy to see you.

It's always good to see an iron lander return from the storm. Yes. Um, but you guys are outcasts. So it's not like a big, big, loud, warm welcome, but people are happy to see you. I think there is a way to say hello in iron speak that I don't, I don't remember. This is dummy. So that's not it. It's like, it's like, uh, there's something to do with the hands.

We really have to get better about our iron speak. We do, but you get a couple of those. You're welcome to back. And I think now is a good time to take a short break. And when we come back, we will progress the story. The next part. All right, we'll be right back. Yeah.

And we are back playing iron sworn eye of the storm. I am with Amanda and we have just successfully gotten Ela off the mountain. Yes, you did again, brought them back. Um, there's a couple of things we got to do. The first thing is, is that technically, because you completed that vow, you know, gains experience. So increase your experience to two. Uh, let me quadruple check that because go for it.

Let's see. But, but, but checking where experience, how much it costs. Let's just say it's two for now and we'll go from there. All right. Set the scene for me. Yes. Of what happens next. Ela leaves serving and, and, and Cadigan to do their own thing.

What's going on in Ela's mind? I, I think the first thing they're going to do really is kind of like. They're really, because if you think about it, they will rant nonstop. Yeah. So she is going to KO like knock out, like just find a comfy spot and just snap and even if it takes a day or two, because I, I feel like she, and also, um, with all the power she did, uh, do with that was like one of our adrenaline powder.

Yeah, the adrenaline powder, but also she did two, um, she did two magics. You know what I mean? It did a powerful one. So I feel like she was just like a battery that just drained out. So she's really going to probably sleep for a full day unless there's something that has, like if the camp has to move, but. Um, the camp is always moving in one way or another. So, but, but I feel like every iron lander would have that kind of built

into them to be able to move on a moment's notice. You know, I'm almost tempted to be like, did they like slip behind a wagon and just not, so you're going to sojourn, you're going to spend time in a community seeking assistance. You're going to roll plus heart and I will allow you to add plus one because you have a bond with this community. Awesome. All right, let's do that.

Strong hit. Strong hit. Excellent. Uh, you and your allies may each choose two from within the categories below. You can either clear a condition, recover or provide aid. Um, sounds like clear condition and recover. So you can either take plus one to health, plus one to spirit, plus one to supply, or you can recover, take two to health, take two to spirit, take

two to supply, take two to momentum. Sounds like you want to do two recovers. Yes. What do we want to increase by two? Uh, definitely health. Okay. So your health is going to four. Yes.

Okay. Supply because we got, so we're now up to three. Okay. So supply goes to three and that is it. That's fine. That's going to take a couple of days, I think, right? You're, you're tapped out, but I think she's always thinking about what she experienced and her, her vow, you know, that is definitely going through her brain.

Like when she's not napping it, if she's like wrestling, I'm not joking. If she's like hit herself on a wagon and she just thinks she's probably like always thinking of like how the fungus stayed in and she's thinking, well, okay, that was why could I do that again? Could I do that on another person? Could I do that on creatures? Could I do that to myself? Like she's trying to think of, like a whole bunch of other, like how, like, is

it just to this? Can I do that with poisons? It's like, there's other things she's like really going through, just going down a rabbit hole. Absolutely. Her mind is racing. So I think we need to make two little housekeeping things. First of all, I think that eventually servant would come and find, uh,

Illa and again, thank her in his stoic way for helping her. And I think he might even say to her, Illa, you went with me on a hunt to find someone, the thing that I do, the thing that you're always asking me about. You're ready. You survived, you came back, you're ready to do this hunt on your own. And I think that it is worth marking, um, some progress on your find your exiled parents, this being kind of a, a symbol of, all right, you're ready to do this on your own, right?

Yes. So now the problem is because this is an extreme vow, the progress is very little. So you're going to only make half progress on this first mark. And as you continue, you'll make another half and then you'll have a full check, uh, box eighties. You know what, whatever we got 0.5 more than we did yesterday. Yes, exactly. I like your perspective.

So what's left now also is, um, to, I think it's worth rolling again to determine where the storm is moving because it's going to take two days for you to recover. That's so again, please roll a D eight and let's find out what direction it's moving eight. It's going to move true north. Something interesting I'm going to note happens, which is that it was moving south west and it starts moving north.

And guess what? It reveals that mountain range once again. I noticed that. I thought that too. I thought that too. We were talking about how interested she was in finding more about herself, but we'll, we'll put that to the side for now. Don't tease that.

Say a couple of days pass. What do you want to do next? Um, actually, I want to go to, uh, the historians and see if I could, because of the magics, I want to go ahead because now this is what I'm thinking. Just so you know, the mountain's been revealed. I hate to say it. That's in her brain. Yeah.

She's thinking about going back to that mountain to either explore, test things out further, but before she does something dumb like that on her own, let her, I, that's why I want her to see if she can, maybe there's some books or tomes that she's not aware of that could actually help her out. So that's, uh, she's going to start like supplying up because I think she's aware she's going to go back to that mountain. So you can go to the historians or you can go to the cartographers. You have, I would argue a little bit of a stronger connection to the cartographers

because of Adon, one of your bonds. I will go to Adon. Uh, let's go ahead and do that. Cause I know there's some tension between the two and this ain't nice, but I'm going to go ahead and use that towards my advantage. It should be like, he is trying to get into your good graces again. So let's go ahead and see if he'll do it. Okay.

Describe to me what Adon is like. He is a cartographer. He has abilities of his own magical abilities. He is clearly very intelligent trying to coax these abilities out of you, but he's also like kind of a shrewd, um, maybe even eccentric person. What, what, how would you describe him? Yeah, I would say definitely, I was going to go like he honestly kind of was like a little extra rough, like, uh, okay.

Do you know how like JK Simmons was like that drum teacher who was like, I'm there to make you better, but you're a total asshole. So I'm not going to make him that bad, but what we can do is, um, he, he, uh, he's kind of like throw you in the deep end. So you learn to swim. He's very much like extra critical. Um, maybe he sensed that she was a little bit powerful that she just like now she's saying, but he, cause he's a lot smarter and saw her grow up.

He sensed that maybe he, like a couple of things she wasn't aware as a kid. And that's why he pushed her to be extra harder. But therefore that, you know what I mean? Do you get where I'm going with that? We could twist it. We don't have to go down this route, but I was, that's what I was kind of thinking. Absolutely. I love the idea of this kind of very, um, you know, just, just a hard ass,

just somebody who's written ELA all of her life, demanding perfection from her, demanding power and, and more, and it, and it having that adverse effect where she doesn't interact with him much. Um, he's definitely got to be bold, right? Oh, let's do it. Yes. He's doing, he's doing it to make her, well, in his mind to make her better. So that's, so he's just a super intense guy.

So she steps into his, his layer and, um, speaks to him. Sounds like you're trying to gather information. I think she's going to be like, I think she, she will, she's not going to hide what happened at the mountain. She goes, this is what I saw. This is what I did. And I did, and she'll even bring up how she did the ward and how when she pulled out, she'll, she'll tell him cause I feel like he would be able to keep up and

actually give her like a little bit more clarification. Maybe he knew about this. I need to know more about this power. Maybe, do you know this magic more? I need like more explanation. Cause that was the first time we're literally, I got someone out of ward and I was able to contain what was inside. So that would intrigue her.

Roll plus wits to determine what kind of information, how good it is that you gather. I mean, my wits ain't bad. So it's a pretty good opportunity on a strong hit. You discover something helpful and specific. The path you must follow or action you must take is made clear. Envision what you learn and take plus two momentum. So your momentum goes up to nine.

Yo, nice. Uh, because this is a dangerous vow, you can actually add plus two full progress boxes, but this is a strong, this is a critical hit. So what is, what is something that you discover or that is revealed to you? That is obvious. First of all, I do think that Adon comes up to you and like, you're almost expecting him to be angry, but he puts his hand on your shoulder and he's like, I knew pushing you would bring about these results.

Right? Oh, yes. So, so what do we learn in our time with Adon? Uh, I think that's where he could, he could reveal that, especially if she's telling the story, he could be like, I knew it. See, this is why I did what I did to make you better. And this is just basically kind of maybe giving a little bit more of backstory that she wasn't aware of, like, especially her childhood.

If she was raised by this a hole and then like getting instances and he can bring up like, I don't know, like, okay, you were powerful here, but the reason why I think this should be clear is maybe he's in alignment with this. And he's like, you need to learn, like he goes, you're now ready for this. You're now ready to know, like, to take it even further. Because I feel like he wouldn't put, he would push her even further. I agree. And would pushing her further mean go back to the mountains or?

I think going back to the mountains, because that's, you look, we said we wanted to know her limits, right? We want to see what else you could find your limits. Uh, well, I mean, I would say you could experiment in the tribe, but I think how about this? I don't want to say she's going to the mountain like this second. I feel like that's going, like it's coming soon. Like it's definitely going to happen by like another couple of day or two, but

maybe she would like start small, like with other things around the camp. Also, she doesn't like, can he, can Adon go get some more, uh, magic, like books or something that maybe she hasn't read before? Is there things that maybe the historians have, but because he's been, he, I'm sure he's pretty high up, he's pretty high rankings, right? He could, he could probably talk to another leader within the historians. And maybe they would actually give more clarification into more magics that was shielded from her because now she's ready to learn this stuff.

This is a gather information role that we just, we just rolled really well on. So like the, the, the information is going to be given to her. I think we kind of need to better decide what that information is. Okay. That's fair. Roll me a D hundred. Let's, let's just roll in the action and theme table and kind of, kind of see what happens here.

48, 48 gather, roll another D hundred. If it says gather again, I'm going to laugh 98 gather home, gather home. Um, what do you think? I, in my head, it's experiment on the iron landers. It's experimenting on the iron landers. Do we know the location of where her parents are most likely at? I don't, but he's a cartographer. He would know when they left.

What if he reveals to her, he's like, I've been keeping this from you all this time, but now I know you're ready. Yes. And it's the location. The location of where, cause the storm is happening. If the parents were left at this one spot and the storm overpasses them, he goes, maybe this isn't just me being extra, you know, where we were at the mountain, we can either go back closer to the mountain or it's on the other

side of the mountain. So we have to go through the, uh, zombify. You get from going totally on point with that at the very least, her parents should be relatively close. I think we're getting close to the location of where her parents's last known location would be. This is great. This is amazing.

I love it. So, so here's what we need to do. Yes. The progress. Okay. This opportunity of revealing where your parents are, I think is enough progress that we should increase your extreme vow from that half point to a full point.

Just makes total sense. You know, he reveals where they are now. Yes. We can, I think we should, because it's an opportunity, because you rolled so well, I will let you decide where on the map they might be, but I think there needs to be some restrictions. Like it can't be within two hexes of the eye, meaning it has to be two hexes away. I am now going to make the, the storm transparent so that I can.

Oops, I think I screwed up. Let me undo that. Um, I want to move it to the GM layer, which you, can you, can you see the storm or no? Uh, I don't see the storm. Okay. That's fine. The point is, is that this is, uh, the center is right here.

So, right. I'm sorry, right there where I just clicked to. Yeah, I've got it. Got it. Basically that little mountain range. Yes. Right. So outside of the, um, let me put, uh, the ones around it, because I'm using the

mount, that one center mountain part is the center. Yes. This is a full hex. This is a full hex. It has to be on the third hex. So it can't be in the first two. Got it. Okay.

So anywhere past that, we'll say that it's somewhere there. And if you want to put it past the mountains, then it might be somewhere like here. I'm going to, just cause I want them also to be going back towards the mountain. Let's have it go straight up. It's north. That's where you had the first time, the cursor. Right here.

Like, yes. Right in between those, that, that other mountain and the other mountain range. So it's that one little foresty. That's where they last left. All right. I am going to put a little text here. We'll say that this is, uh, I'll just say parents for now and we'll get small. We'll put it right there and I'll decrease it in size in a bit.

Okay. But the point is, is that we know it's to the north doesn't mean the storm's going to move in that direction, but, uh, let me go to the GM layer and bring this guy back to the token layer. Um, I'll leave, I'll leave the parents, uh, thing there. We'll clean that up. But it's good for me to at least see for now. Yeah.

I'll leave it there. Um, point is that we know where they are. That's awesome. This is an extreme, you know, kind of undertaking the, the vow is extreme. So this doesn't mean that we're anywhere close to getting them. Uh, you know, I'm just talking player to player, but it's within reach. Yeah. No, because the storm kid, for all we know, it's going to all go south, literally.

So, but the best part is now she knows the location. So when the opportunity does arrive, hopefully they're still live. I'll put in your head and, and maybe Adon would bring this up. You could always traverse the storm using a storm bird. Oh, so there's always that chance that you'd get close enough if it's within a hex. You know, you could travel in there with, uh, with, uh, this new storm bird that the group, well, since Adon told her that she's definitely going to keep

that for a piece of information. And then maybe she might want to be friends with half who's like still training this bird, I think. Right. And he's all like a good fella. He's a good fella. Yeah. He's no, he's, he's becoming more and more famous around town.

What do you think is the next step for ELA? ELA. Okay. So now that this information has been disclosed, um, I guarantee she's definitely, if she doesn't have her own map or something, she, if not, is going to make note of that. And that is like, it's always going to be in the back of her mind. So the minute opportunity presents itself, she's going for it.

Okay. Um, I would say since that's the case for right now, and there by the mountain, baiting, if it's, I think now that Adon told her, I think they should, I even think he should, they're going to go back towards the mountain. Cause she also explained to them that there's this weird disease. And since now, now that the storm has moved up, the rest of the, you know, the rest of their people are getting closer and closer to that. So they actually want to get ahead of that before everybody else runs across.

The tribe is always in the center of the eye, or at least trying to. So right now they are traversing like mountains and stuff, right? So she's going to go ahead and maybe Adon will accompany her, but she's going to go to this, uh, where they just last left and see, honestly, I think she's going to go ahead and try to do her trick again. But this time around, all of them, she's going to try to cure these, these people. Yes. Yeah.

Let's see if we can cure them. We'll discuss whether that's a vow in and of itself, but, um, this is an interesting challenge. I'm not, I do think she should go back. I do think that they're going, I don't know if they're going to go like, maybe not the whole thing, but the main point is to head back in that direction for sure, back to that village, that campsite that they were. Is she going to undertake a journey?

Uh, first of all, I guess if we want to decide if Adon comes with her, I think we need to roll for that because I think Adon is old enough that he might say no. It's tough. Uh, I think it's unlikely that he would want to come or, or be willing to come. Remember, he's Adon. He's kind of a manipulative asshole. So he's not the best. Uh, no, no, no, no, I only think he would just go to see how powerful, like just

to see how powerful she is. That's the only reason that's it. So because it's unlikely, if you roll a 76 or greater, he will come. Let's see. 97. So just as you, just as you said, he is becoming obsessed again with his old pupil and he wants to see for himself. Um, after what I just explained, yeah, especially he, that, that, that is very

intriguing and he wants to see it. He wants to actually, he's like, do it again. If you're, if you're seeing, he's like, do it again until I see it myself. You're full of shit. Okay. Do it again. Okay. So that's it.

So therefore it's very antagonistic. And now it's like, she's just like now her, like, all right, a few, I will do it again. The corrupted ice reach. We are going to head in the direction of that place. We're heading back. So whatever. Here is that all that we're doing before we head? Are we just heading straight there after we speak to Adon?

What else? You have other allies. Oh, I, uh, once I resupply, I do actually want to check on the health of, I know that, um, on the two, but I just, you know, cause I, I, I feel like our bond got a little bit, especially with sort of on, like, I know, like at first we were like buddy, buddy, but like, I feel like after I just, you know, say, help save the love of their life, I would be like a little bit more well received by them. So I think that's totally legit.

Uh, to do that, you would test a bond. Um, let's see. So we could either forge a bond. I think we have already forged a bond with this guy. So we really are just testing the bond. Yeah. Um, go ahead and roll plus heart and let's see what you get. Do it.

Okay. Oops. And heart and go. Do you want to burn your momentum to make that a week hit? Or do you want to take the miss and let me end the episode on the miss? Okay. First of all, I think it's well within our, just how we've been playing aren't where it's just always ends on that kind of dramatic level.

So, you know what? Let's save my momentum. Take it home, Serge. Oh my God. This is why I love playing with Amanda. It's, it's a beautiful give and take with us on a miss. Um, if you have no interest in maintaining this relationship, clear the bond and pay the price.

Oh, I do want to keep the relationship alive. I'm just going to say, let's pay the price. Let's pay the price. I'm not going to break the bond, but something has happened. Oh, God, this is not good. Well, I'm a hundred. I shouldn't have done that. That was me.

Sorry, everybody. Seventy. Seventy. It is stressful. It is stressful. So explain to me how it is stressful for Ila to return. Go ahead. Go for it.

Okay. Okay. When, um, when I use the magic to get them out of the room, I blinded them. So he's now blind. So although you healed him, although I healed him too much, it could have just been an after effect of everything because or yeah, I feel like with that and the bump and all that is just too much on, we can either have him blind or I do think there's going to be a permanent injury.

I think blindness makes total sense. Um, I think it's a logical after effect. It's a side effect of using your powers that you don't fully understand. And yeah, I can imagine Ila just being like, should I have done it? Should I have done it? Am I going down a dark path? Ila is going to endure stress. Yeah.

So you're going to reduce your stress by one. So that stress is good. Excuse me. Your spirit is going to go to three and now you're going to roll either spirit or heart, whichever is higher. Heart. They're actually the same, but both plus three, but go ahead and roll. And let's see what we get.

Go with my heart and resolve opportunity. What? What? On a strong hit, you can choose one. You shake it off and you can regain that spirit you just lost or you can embrace the darkness and take plus one momentum. No, why did you say that? Why did you say that?

Because everyone only embraces the darkness because she's a spooky bitch. Exactly. That's why, you know what? And I feel like this would go with the character that we've kind of building. Like, even though they're very kind hearted, but you see, it on gave them like, maybe that complex of like, kind of proving, let's go with this. They don't shake it off.

They actually don't shake it off. They don't shake it off. They actually take it like as an offense. They're like, dude, I did all of this. I even saved your ass and I'm not trying to say that this isn't bad, but like, maybe she snaps back because he's very stressed that she, like, she's like, that's, you're so ungrateful, like you can have them. I don't, it's not breaking the bond, but we're going to leave it at that

stressful where it's like, no, but it makes perfect sense for why we have failed to test the bond that is that, you know, that's, you know, it's like, it was a spooky bit. She's, she's kind of like a, you know, if you, if you poke her, she's going to lash back out at you. She's angry. She's an orphan. She's someone who has suffered.

And yeah, she is upset that he isn't more grateful. It is unfortunate of what happened, but at least he's alive. Um, so I think that your spirit is going to go not up one. It's going to go up two. So your spirit is going to go to plus five total. Cool. So she's going to come out of there saddened by what has happened, but embolstered by the fact that she's doing the right thing by better

understanding exactly. Yes. And that's where I'll say she, like they're, they yelled at each other, curse each other, and she's pissed. You're not a grateful and all that. And then this just solidified, like I need to like, if this is power, I need to know this. So it's like, and this just makes it more ironclad.

She's going needless to say, servant doesn't go with her, but she, you know, starts to leave the tribe this time with Adon who is also antagonizing her too. So she's extra ramped right now. Exactly. This is, this is, yep. And they, they head off, uh, in, in the direction of those mountains that, that she left just a few days ago. And that is an amazing place to end the session.

Very interesting turn of events. The dice, you know, of course, the dice are going to make this story crazy and chaotic and amazing. Yes. I didn't get my mummy episode, but I got a little resident evil in the last of us. So I was just, yes. And then it was just like, just stop falling. Yeah.

That was, that was surprising because you were so lucky last session that you were on feeling it. And now I'm like, now it's just drama. So our final task is let's roll a D six. Let's see. There's four people left. So let's roll a D four and we'll say that, um, we'll say that. Uh, actually we could bring Kayla back in because it's been at least two sessions.

Let's roll the D six. We're going to ignore your role, which was a one. We're going to ignore Allegra, who was a five. So one in five and five around. All right. D six. Here we go. Of course.

Three. That means Aaron. No. Is it Aaron? Hold on. Uh, Caleb was two. Yes, I'm thinking in my head of like the way you guys were for, um, the Delta green thing, uh, are like, I always envisioned that when all seven of us were on

there, I think three was the key, uh, because it went, you Caleb, the key, uh, Aaron. So yeah. So number three is the key, uh, so next session, the key will be returning and we will see what trouble we can get into with them. The drama, you know, the drama that they're, they're going to come. With those two is going to be delicious. Oh, yes.

I hope to reenact some scenes from whiplash. So Amanda, uh, with the end of this episode, is there anything you want to say to the lovely people watching? Uh, thank you guys so much. But as he mentioned earlier, if you don't know, we have a thing called Delta green. You should go and take a listen to that. It's actually really good.
