Goodbye, Sweeties. ["Murphy's Love Song"] Welcome to the campaign after the campaign after the campaign.

This is not another D&D podcast. ["Murphy's Love Song"] Welcome back to Elder Morn, everybody. Elder Morn.. Eldermore. I'm your Dungeon Master Brian Murphy joined by Jake Herwitz, cursed man who can't stand feeling damned in a mage hand. Henry Hogfish. You did it.

You did it Jake. I was super nervous. We can tell. I was nervous for you. You know what? Bravery isn't when you're not afraid. It's when you're afraid and you still read your intro. Oh my God, you're puturing my favorite Mighty Ducks quote.

You have so many. Can't be the origin of that. I don't know. That's the origin. Mighty Ducks 3. No way is it the origin from D3. There's no way that's the origin of that quote, but also this is a crazy side note, but Emily's favorite mighty ducks is my detox three.

She fucking loves my detox three. I love Coach O'Rionny so inspirational. Don't you not be afraid to fail. Oh my God. Maybe you cannot be afraid to lose. I can't remember what it is. I hate the sight of you. They're both perfect.

Classic D3 scene, everybody's least favorite way to Ducks movie. And we've got the biggest fan of it, Emily Axford. Currently bereft as she mourns the theft of her favorite pizza chef. Oh, he'll make a pizza chef makes it so much sadder, brutal. Yeah, you know, that little boy, what was he doing playing with so much fire?

You know, I hate that while you were reading that heartfelt intro, I was just thinking about the scene from Mighty Ducks 3 with a guy punches the jersey that's been frozen. Yeah, that's what happened to my next day. I don't remember. Two and three really, really meld together for me. I would two, they're all knucklepuck. That's all two and three really really meld together for me. I do, they're all knucklepuck.

That's all two and three. But yeah, three is, three is if anything get departure, I feel like one and two plenty together, but let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on. This is mixed bag energy in the main. Oh yeah, sure.

Make sure I say it. I'm sorry. My brain was plagued. And then of course we've got called all-doll dinner. Zirk for vein here, thanks for your time. Now I'd like to share a little rhyme. I make beakers filled with liquids that I use to enhance. Murf, you should have killed me when you had the chance.

Wow, I got it. Okay. The meter, the meter of that was interesting. I'm stronger now. I'm only growing more powerful. Sweet guys, Gunna Killsirk now. OK, wait, do you want me to read the quote? I've found the quote.

Yes, Emily, please read the quote from Mighty Ducks 3. Listen, if you learn nothing else here, you learn this, all right? Because it's not just about hockey. It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose. That's how you gain the

confidence to attack the game when the puck isn't yours. That's how you attack life, even when you think you don't have any control. And that's how you play real defense. Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack sobbing. Really? Emily, my deducts three came out when we were like 13. Okay, maybe, maybe. I'm still just saying it resonates still. Yes. Well, the quote I originally said was about overcoming fear and yours had a lot of hockey puck references. I think it was all about defensive hockey. It was a lot of hockey.

I don't even know if it was a life metaphor. No, it was about No, it's about real confidence. I would agree. I agree. It was a very hockey-forward speech though and I don't think you had any reason to confuse it with what I was saying. It's very hockey-forward. Get your mind off the rink. All right, we need to stop talking about mighty ducks and we need to do a recap. Alright, last week you guys confronted Stella in the secret room of her lab where she showed you the necrophone, a huge phonograph capable of reproducing the sound of the bell that

brings horrors to life. After some pressing, you got her to confess that she was using it to orchestrate minor horror attacks to drum up support for Carlisle Locknamores campaign. During her confession, Fia cast suggestion on Stella and had her disassemble the necrophone, which revealed a new problem. Some of the enchanted pieces had been replaced, search Stella's desk, and learned that the blueprints were also missing, leading you guys to the conclusion that someone was reconstructing the necrophone outside of the lab.

You grilled Stella about who had access to it and she told you it had to have been someone from quick blasts crew. Zerk told off his mom and you rushed off to find the culprit. When Big Rex and Little Rex took off running. Fiya and Batilda chased one Rex, while Zirk and Hank chased the other, the latter turned out to be the sorceress, Maksora, and disguise who quickly wrapped Zirk

and Henry up in spectral hands. The other ended up being the prophet Kane, who was unable to do much once Fiya managed to temporarily subdue him. With chains. You said that, but it was sick. subdue him with chains. You said that, but it was sick. Yeah, the spectrum chains a lot better than just him having

a brain fart and standing still. It's all about defense, everyone. It's all about the puck. That confidence when you don't have the puck. You cannot be afraid to. Yeah, in that moment, Fia did not have the puck. And yet she persevered. Next, Zerk was about to be killed by Moxora

after he failed Escape and two failed death-saving throws, but Fiya sent Bookfar up to heal Zerk, which saved him. However, this allowed Moxora to grab Bookfar and exercise his essence from the book. She then made her escape, and with Bookfar, you can assume she will soon have access to Arena's location. With Bookfar gone, Fiya questioned if all of this tragedy was worth one life, Batilda, Zirk, and Henry reassured her that it was, and that a tyrant would never be satisfied.

Tab brought up the fact that Moxora seems to be at the center of all of these problems and wasn't convinced that the Reaper is behind all of this. Before you could get too deep into your philosophical conversation though, you saw Stella's lab go into lock down after being swarmed by Loch Namor soldiers. The lab seemed to have put up some kind of magic barrier and that's where we are now. Yikes. So you guys are down by the docks near the water rain is still coming down. It is night You know that Moxora has book far and will likely eventually get arena's location from him one way or another And in order to get to her you need to get to the twilight-yam gem Which is inside the lab you can assume it is

Close to finished by now if not finished because it's been a couple days. You see the lab has all of these panels of magic force field around its glass dome, and out front, there's like a small army guarding it. Some are in the front, some are just patrolling the grounds. I'm going to say that you guys have time to get a short rest, especially after everything you guys just went through. You certainly went through the ringer.

Yeah, Henry crumples down and falls asleep in the grass. Fia, via limply paws to make a sleeping trench, but does not have the spirit of will to do so. This is only 11 feet deep. Also crumple. It's a shallowist trench yet. Yeah, you see, without the help of Bookfar, Fiya, digging just isn't as fun. I'm just mouthing the words that me and Bookfar would usually sing, but no sound is coming out. I'm going to introduce some new short rest mechanics, because in the past campaign one we used to do zealous trance I'm gonna do something like that that allows you guys to pay hit dice to get some spells back the idea is that you can spend half of your hit dice

to get some spells back For zirk since you have less spells to start with it's gonna be a D6 plus your spellcasting modifier and for fia It'll be a D8 plus your spell casting modifier, and for Fia, it'll be a D8 plus your spell casting modifier. And if you guys roll really bad on the D8, you can spend a hit die to reroll your D8. Oh, that's good. Oh, I can, that's good because I had a roll to three. Yeah, there you go.

So you can spend a hit die to reroll it. The thought process there is that instead of patching up your wounds, you're spending time meditating, you're looking at a spell book You guys need about it. I will agree again. Okay, you can keep spending hit die if you want you don't have that many Hit dice missing because you didn't really get attacked Hank if you want to trade like a hit die or something for like a for an unleashed incarnation or something We can do some kind of deal there you can haggle with me for your melee stuff. But I think you get most of your stuff back.

Yeah, it's kind of like a bartering system. Yeah. Okay, cool. Because I think as the campaign goes on, you guys are gonna be more light on spells and stuff, and I don't want to during epic moments for you guys to have to go take a nap. Take a long rest.

I appreciate it. I got all my spell slots back. Whoa, good for you. Oh, very nice. Take a long rest. I appreciate it. I got all my spell slots back. Whoa good for you. Oh very nice Don't have many after spending most of my hit dice I was able to finally get a five on the dice. Nice. Okay, and I spent most of the last episode in a hand So I don't really have any haggling to do right now. Yeah, I'm unleash any incarnations And then of course use any hit dice you want to get HP back because I'm sure You guys are at low HP

That I need sir goes over to the lake and just kind of stares out into nothingness for a bit and then like mutters to Spritele could have died Good to die there You're real close you feel us Spritele flutters up on your shoulder looks out over the lake Good Lake man, mate, but good can I create my spread all flutters up on your shoulder looks out over the lake. Good lake. Man, may be good. Can I create my snake-rained deer? Yeah. Okay, I am not sure what is coming but if we are taking a short rest I'm going to use it to ritual cast phantom steed and you know what? Okay, no, no, no no this is not a jockey time I was going to make

a giant stote like they have in hand otera but I will keep it as my dear sweet snake rains you keep it normal a deer with snake rains yeah yeah Fiya you say you're gonna keep it normal. You see the fires of hell open underneath you and this insane deer with snake rains. I like that, I look down and wink at the time, devil. Yeah, you see tab size with relief as she sees the demonic deer pop up and goes, oh, thank God, it's not a stew. I did not get as many health points back as I would like,

so I'm just gonna go ahead and cast a second level cure wounds on myself and then use my magic ring to regain that spell slot. Sweet! Okay, so I think I, after this little rest, I've made itke and I say, what is our plan here? I mean, my feeling is we've got to get this trilidium and get out. But I also know Mr. Henry that you have unfinished business here. Thanks, thanks for reminding me, but I don't know how long it's going to take me to finish that business and this is time is up the essence. So we got to get in, get out. Should we steal a little boy?

We will be stealing him from a dangerous fate. I mean, the Reaper took our boy. We might as well take a boy back. I mean, I've always dreamt of kidnapping my son back. I feel that this is a problematic road to be walking down. Okay, but till now, what if we just didn't use that word and we just said, he is an active danger. We need to grab this time lithium, get out of here, perhaps we can try to get the boy to

come with us because he's not in a situation that is conducive to his life. You see, Patilda nods and she goes, and if Mark Sora has some way of using this necrophome, then everyone in West precinct is in danger. And he is going to be in the very front line when no offense to your young son, but he probably is very new to this experience. Yeah, none, yeah, none taken. I try to say that's gently as possible. He's still a little shaky in the knees.

I saw it too. Ah yeah, ah, the ball was gonna get him. He's like me on a boat. He doesn't have his river legs yet. I feel like he has the natural ability though. He's brave, that counts for some tech. I do think he has a very good heart, yeah. Confident without the puck that kid.

Do we think that Hank Jr. would be? Yeah, on the fence, this that I think. Do we think that Hank Jr. would be storming the lab as well? You're not sure, guys, go ahead and give me a perception check. Oh boy. Yes. That's nice. There we ahead and give me a perception check. Oh boy. Yes. 19 on the dice. There we go. I got a 19 on the dice too. Flat 10 for your friend. Sweet. You guys look out with the rain and it being night. It's kind of hard to see who all is out there. But you do see one kind of suspicious thing. You see amongst all of these like soldiers that are kind of locking down the place.

You see one figure walks out of the lab, throws like the hood of a cloak up and begins rushing, like walking, but walking with purpose towards like the woods, towards the road where you would get to like the mountains that hide the crux. Okay, we need to find that spotter in the off chance that they have the twilight with them. Yes, yes, yeah, okay.

I'm also slightly worried it's my mom because that's just the way that she bounces from a scene when she's ready to not be there anymore. All right, we'll continue this discussion about my boy later. Okay. Table the boy. You guys table the boy.

I think we can say that either. We can say there's certain things we can't say. Okay, all right. You guys rush from the docks to get to the road that kind of leads to these mountains. You run through a small patch of trees and you find this person as they join the main road here. You see rain pouring down on the top of her cloak and you see she pulls the hood off and this is quick blast cast Callaway and you see she holds her hands out and she goes, gee I just can't fucking shake you people can I? Well you we always seem to cross paths because you

are blocking ours and making things difficult. I'm you're literally blocking my path. I'm walking out of town. You're standing in the middle of the goddamn road. What? And before you stood in as a fucking janitor in front of me, you were quite literally always blocking my path. All right, we didn't make it a literal thing. It was more of just like a fun little metaphor to think about.

All right. We're all for you leaving town. We just want to make sure you're not leaving with anything you shouldn't be walking away with. Anything I shouldn't be walking with. Empty your fucking pockets. Again.

She said it better than I did. You see, she goes, I didn't take anything. That important. You see, she opens up her cloak. And she has stolen things from the lab. but nothing of it looks like she kind of just grabbed some valuable looking things on the way out. She does not have the twilight-yam gem. And you see she goes, look, the heat is on. I'm going to be moving on out of town. I'm just taking my pay because points deserve. Your mom is not going to be able to pay me soon. Somebody's

going to have to take the fall for this. And it's looking like it's not gonna be able to pay me soon somebody's gonna have to take the fall for this and it's looking like it's gonna be her Yeah, well, you know what time comes due oh Yes, miss that is there but before you go I got one question for you all right How did you sneak out? How did I sneak out? Well all these rich people came in? Everybody started fucking yelling at each other saying the necrophones in the wrong hands in everybody started fucking yelling at each other saying the necrophones in the wrong hands There's gonna be a horror attack. We're all in danger people started pointing fingers They grabbed Stella. They said somebody's got to go down for this

They're talking about teleport in the whole lab to get everybody out of West precinct And us and I just quietly got the fuck out of there because it seemed like I wouldn't be too high on their list of People that they think deserve saving because everybody else in this town is apparently fucking toast Okay, we need to get the fuck in so like did you use a secret passageway or did you is there a a hole in the force field just like anything you can use to help us. Ugh. Alright. Also, where is my son? Also, where is his son? Where is my son? Your son?

I don't know, man. At his fucking house or walking around looking for a whole- So he's not inside? So he's not inside. So he's not inside. He's not in there. He's not in there yet. I don't know.

I think they're going to start probably trying to evacuate some people. I have a feeling they're not going to evacuate some people. I have a feeling they're not gonna evacuate everyone though. You know, certain people might get preferential treatment over others. These people. That's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, all right. It's the WP way.

I didn't take a secret tunnel. I just walked right out the fucking front door because they don't really give a shit about me. I don't get them anything. There is an anti-magic field around the lab But the door if the door is open then the anti-magic field if the door is open then you could get in But if you're invisible if you're casting something to make you look different or something it'll break as soon as you go past threshold But could you if the door was open dimension door through there?

Cast this teleportation spell spell into it I'm not a wizard I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about oh you're not I'm a wizard at a lot of things you see she starts spinning her guns with her mechanical arms but I guess the stifles how impressed she is but there is another way to get in. Big wrecks and little wrecks, before they ran off doing whatever they were doing, the way they were getting the horrors from the lab to West Pre-Sync was a tunnel system

that goes from under the lab to the Arias estate. Hmm. So there's tunnels going from the Areos estate directly into the lab. She nods and she goes, there's an entrance to a cellar in the garden who is a state underneath it or a bunch of tunnels that are apparently used for smuggling at one point. And Hank, this adds up to you because Edgar Areos, like when you first worked in West Precinct and you were dating Izzy and then you later married her,

you were working for him for like a shipping company. He's like a Titan of Lake industry. This is like an open lake, so there's all these rivers connected to it. So he has all these connections. So this would be a way for him to be able to like smuggle illegal things or sell things without paying taxes, etc., etc. Yep, can't be a bear and without being a robber bear and first.

All right, well, I know my way around that house, I know my way around the garden. Maybe we sneak in that way. Are we going to use the same route you used to sneak in so that you could go see Izzy? Yes, we were very, we were very secretive. It was very Romeo and Juliet for a time. Oh! It turned into some other Shakespearean tragedy in the end. But yeah. Macbeth.

Alright, well, good talk. Get the fuck out of the way. Where are you going? Just fucking on. Where am I going? Yeah. What? It's not a year-fucking business. Not a day-to-day. It's polite. Bad to see where am I going? Yeah, yeah, what it eats none of your fucking business

Not a good all right You Overstate your belt you know what you overstayed your welcome, you know what? Becoming redundant and then things just we got other people in the way, but you I got a fucking problem with you to bullets get jammed and you're gonna go Hope you're fucking spells get jammed in your hands. You fucking wizard pieces shit All right, all right. Yeah, you take fucking magic. I kicked some rocks at her Yeah, you you fucking kick rocks. That's what you're best at. And you see she walks past you guys.

There's chemistry between me and her. My mom is reading this. As she walks past, I slap her back and use Tinkering to put fear rules on her coat. I do it behind the back high five. A tiny which is ritual. As a quick blast walks away, Batilda goes, you know it might not be a bad idea for Tabitha and I to follow her, to go up ahead and maybe get to the crux and get back to Zelbald R7, get Lusgrar and have him prepare his warriors in case everything goes to shit here.

Oh, yeah. It seems like things are very close to going to shit, or being teleported to shit, so whatever you can do would be great. As long as Patil, you promise me that you're getting further away from Prophet Kane, he really fucking hates you, and he's coming for you. He really fucking hates you and he's coming for you. I know little Fang, but I think with Bookvar and Toe, Kane has bigger fish to fry than me. I think Kane and Moxora getting to Zelbaldar is imminent. And... Okay.

Moxora, according to Tabitha here, has apparently already been to Zelbaldar. So for whatever reason, she doesn't need this twilightium. Okay. So we need to make sure that we survive this and that as many innocent people survive whatever's coming. Okay, well, you are the Smith and I am the blade, so I bend to your flame.

If you think to split up is best, I agree. Um, you see, uh, she rubs your chin and she goes, little fang, if it was up to me, we'd never split up. But Lusgar's got an army that he was preparing to bring into Zelbaldar wouldn't be a bad idea to have some backup in the mountain if need be. Okay. Tab, you take care of this one. And but tilled, you take care of this one. Ah yeah, the mutual bodyguards?

Symbiotic, yeah. Back-to-back bodyguards. Symbiotic guards. Symbiotic guards. You see, they look at each other nod and shake hands. And Tab goes over to you, Fiya, and goes, I fight her. Before I go, I was thinking about what we were saying before about the Reaper. And you see she pulls out the little Reaper Bell that you had given to her. Since you had

reasoned that she would have a better connection to the Reaper than you. And you see she hands you the balance, she goes, I think it might be better. If you were to take this, I'm not a wizard. And I would say you have just as good of a connection as me. Could be worth a shot if things get bad. Okay, thank you. I will take this. I've also been curious if there's a way to turn this animated into a raised dead. So it will give us a chance to maybe Mr. Zerr continue to do it or something.

Thank you, though. I'm not sure if it was the bill specifically, but I awaken somehow. I know. I know we've got to recreate whatever made you because whatever made you is good stuff. Yeah, we could we could do with some more tab. Oh, I can't do about fucking round of tabs if you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm just a mutual bodyguard. I'm just an action a mutual bodyguard. Six pack if I'm honest. Here was the wizard.

Oh, these kids. Two leaders tab, you know. All right. If I'm honest, I can't. The reason was the visit. Oh, these kids. A two-leaders tab, you know. All right. Ham, well, mutual bodyguards. If anything goes wrong, use the guardians of the Grove Book to contact us, okay? And vice versa, if anything, if you have any updates for us, let us know. Okay.

The thread open. You need to deer. It will only last for an hour. I was going to use it as a getaway, but you can have the deer if you want the deer. The rains are real snakes and they bite. No, she's it. Mr. Peservon did I tell you about I wanted the pet the deer. I wanted to pet the deer not the snakes. I think I'm immune to the venom now it feels good.

Oh now you just high. Oh yeah, you're poisoned. What? Diserc looks at the lake again. You see, uh, betilda puts her hand on your shoulder, Fiya, and goes, little fang, I have all of the trust in the world for you. I am trusting you with the more dangerous mission. I'm aware that I'm just the Smith now. I'm going to get help. I do not need some sort of speedy mount you need all of the help that you can get you guys are absolutely fucked This is just a terrible situation. Oh, yeah, all right

So let's do on it. Let's try this. Let's ride this fucking thing Just try it to the right. They've got a machine. That's uh, this is one of the worst things I've ever seen They've got a machine that's gonna call horrors from every no This is one of the worst things I've ever seen. They've got a machine that's gonna call horrors from every... We got it. No, there's a telepatterate lab. We're back. It's a politics op.

Just got a tep talk. Why do we need so many people? I'm a sad pep call. You see Luscar. So I'll be fine. You don't have to reveal. I love the Tilda's candor. It's so beautiful.

Okay, we can sit on this thing three top style, but I want to sit in the way back as far away from this snake as possible. He is physically uncomfortable with even just having hand-conn't it? I want to sit in the antlers like a little kid on a bicycle. You see, head just goes into the ground.

It is completely grounded, but up in the air. Hi-ho, Silva. You won last bit of advice from your smith, I think, one person on the mount? You see, there are no. Patilda and Tab walk off or run off, rather, towards the crux. Oh, she runs like via. Just hands waving at her side. Lightning fans.

Now you see who made me do all these sprints. Do you have the ability to whip up another sleigh for us? Another floating sleigh so that we can ride behind? Okay, I will get my floating disc and I will ride in the direction that Mr. Henry points to his ex-wife's father's house. Okay, and I'm pointing from the disc over the horse. I want to be far from the steaks. What do you want the disc to look like? Oh, wow. A giant potato skin?

Oh, yes, we'll make it look like a potato skin and you are below it. Wow, I've always wanted to be sour cream. It's really cheesy. So you guys ride in a potato skin, sick, through West precinct, what a scary world. And Hank, you lead the party to Edgar Arias's estate. This is Hank Jr.'s new name's Sake.

This is Izzy's father's house. You've definitely been here before. As you approach it, you see unlike the Loch Namor estate, which feels very like showy, trying to show their wealth, this one is more isolated. This dude has more like Tywin Lannister vibes. This dude like protects his money, doesn't want a lot of attention, tries to do things on the down low, which means he might not always be on the up and up. You see, his house has like tall hedges and walls for privacy that wrap around the estate. The gate is overgrown with ivy and flowers that is nearly impossible to see through.

Beyond the wall, you are able to kind of climb up a little bit like the stones of the wall and look over. You see there's a small fountain in a garden out front of this big mansion. Victoria and architecture, there's a veranda on the first floor with lots of places to sit over looking the garden and a balcony on the second floor, part of the roof sticks out higher than the rest, almost like a tower with this cone's top. It's this dark house with dark shingles,

but you do see gas lamps outside, as well as lanterns on inside. Guys, go ahead and give me perception checks. I spent many a night. I love finding that for Anda. 15. Shout out to the two crew. Five on the dice becomes eight.

Okay, Hank, you kinda know where to look. You know where the guards, you used to have to avoid guards to go see your ex-wife when you guys were dating, when you guys were younger. Core chip days. You see, there are several guards carrying rifles. They wear military sir coats of a dark red color with bicorn hats. There are two up on the balcony and two down in the yard.

But strangely, the two on the balcony seem to be the ones that are watching the front yard. The two on the ground level are on the side of the house guarding a bulkhead door. These big, bulky doors built into the ground that usually lead to a cellar. And you see, as you look over, this is less of a defense than usual. This is less security than usual, probably because he brought everybody with him to the lab. Yeah. Okay. Just really quickly, I want to take some and just a little bit of flame in my fingers and I want to melt two gold pieces together and impress upon it the face of Miroslav

the Mesmer because it correlates as a spell component for something that I might need to do. Fia, you create a coin with the face of the celebrity wizard who's books you read. In case anyone at home forgets you, Miroslav the Mesmer is. Mr. Henry, do you remember, as a youth, going through how difficult these guards were to fight? Sorry, can I also just say that I've never seen you do that trick and that was super cool. You just made it you made a coin Yeah, I made a little coin so in case we need to give them this advantage on perception checks and initiative roles I can throw it and hopefully they'll be so

Distracted by it. Do you need like a band-aid or something? That was very hot fire that you used to melt that coin You haven't noticed I just make fire a lot I'm butter I have countless is on my hands now and it's great. I should go rock climbing sometime. I guess again Yeah, I used to back in the day. was there was a lot less horse lurking around But I used to just toss a rock on the other side of the lawn somebody would go over and look sneaking climb up It was it was pretty rude and mentary. I don't know that sounds pretty good Let's try that before we use mirrors loves three Hank also got caught several times like many times The other thing

is Of yeah of the many times I visited Izzy Oftentimes it was her visiting me outside the gates after they tossed me out on my ass So we would sometimes meet in the middle. I didn't always successfully yet Yeah, that was that was Hank's way of honking the outside her house, was getting his ass kicked by guards and thrown out. Leave me alone. Yeah, she would hear the raucous and come out and ask if I was alright. I think I've got maybe a slightly more advanced version of throwing a rock that we could

try. It would create a, I mean- And we was about to throw the coin. No, you can throw the coin. Oh, Molly, it was- Okay, yeah, let's do the coin. I've got to back up in case we need some more fire power. All right, great. So then I say, yeah, you just used to do this.

As he chucks the coin, I cast Jim's glowing coin. They all have to do each trigger of your choice. It's called Jim's glowing coin. I took it from the your choice. It's called Gyms Glowing Coin. Okay, Phinear Gates Bell. Forever ago, it was one of the weird like social Fias Bells wack when I thought she was going to be a little trickier. So when you cast the spell, you hurl the coin that is the spell's material component to any spot within range. The coin lights up as if under the effect of a light spell. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of the coin must

succeed on a wisdom save or be distracted for the duration. While distracted a creature has disadvantage on wisdom, perception checks and initiative roles. Wow. Fiya's funky coin. Thank you Mr. Deserk. I cross out the title and name it. Got it. Okay. So you throw the coin over the fence, Lance in the yard, you see a flash of light come up, um, and you hear the guards startled. Who was that? Is that a magic coin? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha coins first dude snoggin hog fish is back first dude gets in at 20 second Dude gets a three and misses next dude gets a seven and fails last dude fails

Okay, so so one person where one person up on the balcony succeeded and the rest failed I'm gonna say that the one guard up on the balcony was the one who was shouting about Hank, looks out over the balcony, pulls out his sword, all the other guards kind of look like distracted by like this flash of light that they saw in the lawn, and the one guy on the balcony goes, you too, see what that was, could have been some kind of illusion. And you see the two guards at the bulkhead doors begin walking towards the coin on the lawn. Does the person on the balcony have an eye line on the seller door?

No, they don't. Okay, I think that's on the side of the house. We should be good then, right? Oh, we can just sneak behind. So we try to find a path that the balcony cannot see but it's to this door. Yeah I think if we stick to the shadows, Shank can you lead the way? I summon Shank. Henry we need to break the curse. We're working on it. We're back here. We're retreading the past, Henry. You gotta go back to fix the future, you know?

I have to go back to fix the future, Henry. I kind of like this new shank. You do? I just like his voice. He's silly. I don't know if it's like a role of the dice thing where maybe we'd get the other shank occasionally, but sorry about that. I don't know if it's like a role of the dice thing where maybe we'd get the other shank occasionally, but sorry about that Actually as shank pops up you do feel that even though this is a creepy shank

You do feel like you have more control over your powers now hank and in fact We did this off-mic but the characters did level up. They are all level eight. And your blade powers have manifested themselves a bit. You guys feel more determined, you feel more aligned with the cause, and you feel bonded with your weapons. I had told you before that magic powers were going to manifest in your weapons. And they have begun to do that. I'm going to send you guys the new things that your weapons can do.

It's Christmas. It's Christmas in Aldermorne. So these are you guys new magical weapons. Oh, I can't wait to unveil them. And how would you guys like to proceed? You see, the one guy seems to be kind of on high alert looking out in all directions and you see the other three are investigating this coin like where the flash went off and I will even say they would probably check the gate as well. So you actually hear this one guy who seems to

be in charge yells out one of you Nathaniel check the gate and one of them soon Nathaniel begins walking towards the gate while the other two look at the coin mr Henry if you can navigate us to the back I can cast guidance on you to try to help you remember it will be almost like I'm helping you to remember this painful past. It's hard to forget anyway, but I could use all the help I can get. And I turn to the new Shank who keeps on mumbling about the curse, and I put my finger to my lips, and I say, shh. But as I do that, I realize that I cast pass withoutace on everybody around us.

Oh! Yes, Hank is going to use his cursive guise arm, which has three charges. He's going to use a charge to do cloaked in shadow and cast Pass Without Trace. Oh, I love that idea that his shadow just expands and engulfs us all. Yeah, wrap us up in that guy's arm.

You see the old, you see the old shank. Mimics you, puts his finger over his mouth to go, shh, and as he does, shadow disperses and covers zirc, hank, and fia in darkness. And you guys are cloaked in shadow. Ooh. So we really just have to be able to sneak and jerk, Hank, and Fiya in darkness, and you guys are cloaked in shadow. Ooh! So we really just have to be able to sneak by this one guy's perception.

All right. Should be okay. Let's do it. On the way down there, I know he's got some wine in that cellar too, so we got two things to work for. Yeah, maybe Quick Blast was right about one thing. You should take things from rich people. Sweet, so guys, go ahead.

Are you just going to climb the wall and try to go in here? Or what are you guys doing? Is there like a perimeter? Like, could we walk to the side and go that way, as opposed to going like over on the main gate? There are walls all around. But yeah, you could walk up to the side and probably avoid being seen by the one guy in the balcony.

Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the move. Yeah, let's dry that. Yeah. So you guys go to the side wall. The side in the balcony. Yeah, I think that's the move. Let's try that. So you guys go to the side wall. The side of the house, you see there's a small patch of wood. No honor in the side wall.

You guys go to the side of the house just as this one guy and reaches the gate, looks out, doesn't see anyone. You guys are a blur in your shadows as you go over to the side. You go to the side, you get out of view of the dude on the balcony who keeps yelling. And you get the sense that the most action this guy ever got was catching Hank. Like this is just the head of security at this rich dude's house that doesn't get broken into. Like nobody goes and like Rob's the most powerful man in town who has a bunch of knights

So this guy is super super excited to get some action and just keeps yelling at the guys below Right there, but the other guys just like staring at that coin like taking turns looking at They should be according to this bell. They're just staring at it. The other guys do they walk up and they go The other guys do, they walk up and they go, sir, there's some kind of strange coin down here. It's oddly fascinating. It has a man's face on it. Can I do an insight check of any of them? No, Mirosloff. Yeah, go ahead, do an insight check.

Or if they think it's Jim. It's, yeah, I'm gonna rename it Mirosloff's magic money. Okay, I got a six, which I have six to insight, so 12. Yeah, 12. Yeah, the other guy who's not holding up the coin goes, oh, that's Mirzloff the Mesmer. Those Mesmer bucks, maybe we could get a free book. They do in the back, and he's just like, shut up you morons.

You absolute morons. We are guards of the Arias estate, and we must stop any boyfriends from getting to the lady of the house. I swear the lady of the house is 40 and doesn't live here anymore. Shut your mouth, Nathaniel! Guys, go ahead and give me stealth checks to climb the walls. The only people you ought to worry about are two people with disadvantage right now, because the dude on the balcony cannot see you guys.

Cool, great. Okay, I have disadvantage, but a plus 10. So, cool. That is going to be even with disadvantage. Thank you to Pass Without Trace, that's it. 23. Damn, I rolled a 29. Wow.

Very good, very good everyone. That's a 17 for me. Okay. Thank you for Pass Without Trace. He'll be enough though. Yeah, a 17 for me. Thank you for passing out trace You'll be enough though. Yeah, it should be enough. Yeah, you guys See these guys are holding up a coin to like the captain here and the captain is yelling What is this some kind of a prank? They think it's oh you know the pranks when we're in full lockdown to run around and just throw some kind of magic flashing coin,

be on the lookout for teens. Um, zirke's head whips around, what where? And you guys successfully climb the wall here. And you guys are able to get over to these bulkhead doors and you see that it doesn't look like they're locked. And you know that there was some, you know, big wrecks and little wrecks or Moxora and Cain.

People have been using this path. In fact, you do see, like as you guys go, you see that there are like wheelbarrow tracks going through the lawn from the bulkhead doors as if they were like dragging dead bodies to where they needed them to animate. Okay, I mean I guess they weren't covering their tracks. Perhaps I'm being naive. I don't think that this is a setting us up. Does anyone think this is setting us up? For a trap? Yes. the effect that it is not locked, you know?

I mean, I don't know who else was involved with their scheme. There might be other reaper acolytes. So we should probably prepare as best we can. We've got pass without trace on us. Oh, guys, go ahead, go ahead and give me insight checks. Oh yeah, that's an 18 on the die. 17, 23.

22, sweet, nice. So you guys would think that there probably were a decent amount of people in on the conspiracy of having minor horror attacks to get people afraid, to get people to want to invest in defense, to get people to want powerful people like Carlyle to protect them. You can bet a lot of people are in on that. So Stella wasn't in on it, but Lachnemortwa.

No, Stella was absolutely in on that, but did Moxora and Kane betray everyone or did they just fuck over Stella, you don't really know. Right, I mean. Yeah, but it seems like this, the whole plan has fallen apart, so we can safely assume that there's not a trap beyond this bulkhead. It doesn't seem weird that these guards would know that people were gonna come by and don't ask questions.

That doesn't seem that weird to you. Okay, all right. This is actually, this is the furthest I've ever gotten to uh, sneaking in so Really I was your first kiss like by the garbage cans outside. I'm so confused Yes, it was by the dumpster in the alleyway in the sewer. They were putrid smelling Yes, yes, I would often wake up there with is he stroking my newly bruised head Those were the best years those were the best years of my life. Yeah, I'm getting a picture painted for me here.

Okay. Yeah, you know, it's me in that card. We had a real Batman Joker thing going on. I've never had a lover, so I'm taking all of this as very serious notes. Hank, go ahead and give me an insight check with advantage. That is a nat 20. No, I love it. I love pretty good insight.

Yeah, as you think back on it and you're like, those are the happiest times of my life, but then you think back to like one of those nights, thinking back on it, thinking back on like a moment where you got beat up by a bunch of guards. And then Izzy was with you. You would remember moments where she would get into big, blow up fights with her dad to, uh, like kind of defend you. And then when you guys were alone, there was a lot of passion like after that, because it was rebellion. But then whenever it wasn't you sneaking in whenever it was like Okay, we're married now. My father has to accept us We have a child and all of that everything started to kind of die down so in hanks

Very very weird way. He was almost like the bad boy weird way. He was almost like the bad boy. Because it was a forbidden problem. Because it was a forbidden thing. And you try so hard. Jesus all of her time magic to try to understand the parallel universe, but Hank is the bad boy. Why used to have a I used to have a gene jacket. It was like and just like that it clicks in. But yeah, you have this, you have this realization that you're looking back on all this with rose colored glasses. A smile dies on my lips. Um, let's, let's get inside.

Let's, let's go. Mr. Henry, what if maybe it's good thing that it wasn't the best times of your lives? Cause it means that there are better times coming. Yeah, I think you can do better than making out in a dumpster. Fia also takes note of this. Okay, I understand. Yeah, maybe you guys are right. The future can be bright.

I think I still have that denim jacket somewhere, too. We could really give this whole thing a little reboot. Do you think maybe it got like, snared on one of like the trellises? Maybe it's still here. We could go try to find it. Perception Jack time.

Really quick Perception Jack. Can I get your Perception Jack? I know fucking lie. I can't. You got it? I'm not sure. Okay. Why is it here?

Hank, you think back on that gene jacket and you remember that you were also remembering it with Rose-colored glasses. You're not going to tell me it was a bull. You're not going to tell me it was a bull. Oh, okay, the answer is it's a bull. It has to be so red. You're not gonna tell me it was a cool. You're not gonna tell me it was a cool. Okay, the answer is it's a word. It has to be so rad. Murf, how can you do this?

This is taking a crit away. This is taking a crit. I'm about to think it looked cool. It was a natural 20. There was a small crazy. Miami Dolphins patch on it. You can't think what they found were there's originals.

They found were there's originals. I just want a record show This is the cruelest thing you've ever done. Yeah, that's the cruelest thing I've ever witnessed This is worse than jimma. This is worse than jimma. Where's the jimma? Wow. Yeah No, you don't see your fucking Jacket you fucking Max but with that with that fucking investing it then at least we know that it isn't here It's not like I left no stone on turn with your perception with your nat 20 perception check You see that the god damn doors to the seller are open Okay, that they're not chained up. They're close. I'm sure there's one at the crux

I'm sure there's one at the crux we can get you to look real good. Yeah. That was really, really funny. Henry, Henry walks in really slowly and you can't tell a fees upset about his realization about Izzy or that he hasn't. He couldn't find his gene jacket. But the truth is it's about both. Let's go. The gene jacket had way too many straps It was cool it had all these patches there were tassels you said there were tassels no patches patches and Tassels you remember the It was just I will not roll again There were tassels on the patch that did not this is collaborative story Don't wait there was a zipper not even by any It was a zip It was not a dirty button. It was buttons it had it had cool

It was velcro Velcro jeans Jack's And if we have to find the rena we have to find the arena we have to go time Stop talking about the jacket. It was a cool jacket. You guys get how many pockets were on it? Normal amount of pocket. No roll for it. 90 pockets roll. Yeah, roll a D100 Absolutely not Okay, oh you 100. Absolutely not. Okay. I just have to say, before we go into this estate, I want

to tell this deer who I haven't given the name to. I don't want to give it a name because the last thing I gave a name to got taken away. Don't think about that. Think about the jacket. I believe this a name. And I tell the deer to go wait by the, I point in the direction of the lab and I tell it to go wait there. You see the deer snorts and runs off. I'll say it did not obviously climb the wall with you guys. So you did this before. Yeah. You went in. This episode of NAD pod is brought to you by Bird Dogs. They're a company that makes pants and shorts. So no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's

gonna be difficult. Luckily, Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dog's invented a cloud-knit fabric that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers

and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are wearing bird dogs. To get yours and a free Yeti-style tumbler, go to birddogs.com slash papa or enter promo code papa at checkout. That's birddogs.com slash Papa or promo code Papa for a free Yeti style tumbler. You won't want to take your bird dogs off, we promise you. Okay, that's it for me, go team pants and enjoy the show. So you guys open these bulkhead doors.

You go into this dark cellar and you close the door behind you, account your same stealth checks. You guys seem to have safely gotten in here. Fiya and Zirk, you guys have dark vision. So you guys do see that there's a lantern on a side table here that you can light, but it is pitch black to Hank. Well, I have thomaturgy.

I can just cause some flames to flicker in my hand. Great. Fiya, youer in my hand. Great. Fiya, you hold up a hand, you create some light, you light the lantern. Seriously, do you need like some gel or like an ointment for your hands that's just your catching them on fire a lot? You see how thick my skin is now, it's fucking awesome. I am a real spellcaster now.

It looks like she's wearing mittens, my god. Gardner's glove. I'm jealous is what I'm saying. This is how you know a good witch is thick skin on her hands, which is look like crossfitters Let's go let let's shake some ropes together sometime fee. I need thick hands like that You guys say that you are in a small seller with built-in wine racks Hank was right. There's all these bottles set in the wall here. Guys go ahead and give me investigate checks. Oh, that is a mighty fine glassware. Shout out to the three crew. Fuck. I guess I can't.

That one, baby. That one. Oh, my God. 11. 11. Okay. I'm gonna say that nothing sticks out to you guys right now, but if you guys spoke around, I will give you some answers. But you guys look around and you see that there are many many vintage bottles of wine Inside the walls here. Can I real quick just go ahead and cast arcane lock on the bulkhead so that nobody can follow us in here Oh sure nice really smart you cast arcane lock you hear the bulkhead doors Lock with a loud sound not a loud sound a loud sound into your head zirke. Yeah, I make a loud sound, not a loud sound, a loud sound in your head, Zirk. Yeah, I make a loud sound.

Yes. Can I look at the bottles of vintage wine? And I want to see if any are from Endotera or from like Zelboudar or have like a location that has been referenced. And I want to see if there's any vintage from Miennese's wedding, because that was just a really nice grape. You guys look around and you see wines from areas of the capital, you see wines from wineries in West precinct,

in East precinct, things that are from vineyards in Outerboro, you even see stuff that's from like, there's this area that's called like the Isle of Plenty. That's where like, that's kind of why the capital is so rich. That's actually probably where Hank would have done some of his like merchant work when he was like working on ships in the capital.

There's like an island that is like rich with natural resources. And yeah, you find a place that is like rich with natural resources. And yeah, you find a place that is either a winery there or someplace that references it in some way. I will do a detect magic. Okay. Fiya, you cast a detect magic. And there are three walls in here because the last one

is the stairway leading up into the bulkhead doors and you see to the right you sense magic like behind it. So it seems like there's some kind of physical trigger and then there's magic beyond it. Could I do like a just raw tool investigation? Yeah, yeah, Zirk, go ahead, Pumpska. I'm gonna sniff out this trigger. Yeah, I'll say, sir, you literally just go ahead and start using your hands and just like pulling out these wine bottles in. I just toss them on the ground.

They mean nothing to me. You don't want to lick those? No, I'm into harder stuff. Give me some mezcal. Give me some vodka. This stuff's weak. You see, he shatters a bottle of wine from like pre-empire elder moor, and that would probably put him like a million gold.

Once it's on the ground, I min the bottle back and go, cool bottle. That is going to be a 19 plus investigation, is 23 plus my proficiency, which is six, so 29. Whoa. Zirk, you find this one wall that Fia had found magic behind. And as you go through them, you see that there are a collection of reds from the specific area in the capital.

And amongst them, you find a bottle of white wine. And as you go to pull it, you feel it click. And it acts like a doormob and opens the wall. I'm not strong enough to pull it, you feel it click and it acts like a doorknob and opens the wall. I'm not strong enough to pull this bottle out. I'm not strong enough because I'm one, I think we need it. Yeah, I'll give it with my thick hands. Guys, I think we don't need to.

Stick your calluses on it. I crush another bottle. Yeah, you guys just, the whole wall of wine bottles breaks and spills everywhere. I'm not gonna lie, I'm very happy with this outcome. Yeah. whole wall of wine bottles of brakes and spills everywhere. I'm not gonna lie, I'm very happy with this outcome. Yeah, you knew Edgar Arias was very into his wine collection. And in fact, he would always break out the table wine whenever you came overhang.

Oh, can I use my little flask of sour cherry lacor to scoop up just like essentially a rose of all these broken reds? Oh god. Oh wow. I just want one really old wine. One swig of Edgar's wines. That's all I've ever wanted.

I swallow it with a bunch of glass. Oh yeah. All it tastes sweet. Oh yeah. You guys drink glass next to all these other unbroken bottles of wine because there's two other walls. My lips are bleeding and I'm just like, I don't get it. Okay?

I love the idea of there being wine enthusiasts or like Psalms listening to this and you guys like blending all these old wines. A good, earthy red mixed with glass. That's how you want to enjoy your mullbacks. It tastes like blood. Mmm, the devil's ice. So you guys see, as Zirk opens this wall,

there is a dark hallway beyond it. Let's light up a torch and go in. Sweet. One foot in front of the other. I'll use tinkering to light up one of the empty wine bottles. Sweet. Oh, that's cool. You make like a Molotov cocktail.

Yeah. And you light it up as a torch. And you begin walking down this hallway. You see, as soon as you enter the hallway, you feel a plate shift underneath you and suddenly torches light up down the hallway and it's all lined up with a warm glow. Oh, okay, good plate underneath, I see.

Fuckers make a fucking obstacle course that they knew how to traverse. This might just be a hospitality plate. You guys look down and it looks pretty straightforward. In fact, it looks weirdly straight forward. Like Cass had told you that she had heard that Edgar had been involved in smuggling. That would make you believe that there would have to be lots of tunnels, like you'd be able

to get to businesses, he'd have to have rooms to hide in, he'd have to have all these secret places and there would be one tunnel. It's not a straight shot, but it looks like it's going in the direction of the lab. It's just the one tunnel. He could have collapsed the other ones, you don't know. Well, something I could do is some in Shank and Shank can move a thousand feet from me and I can basically war and see into his, I could see through his eyes.

That would be awesome because that's literally what I was trying to figure out because I usually have book far to do this I love this okay, I love new shank. I knew shank. You see new old shank shows. I yes, we have to break the curse We must break the curse. I already know I know what you're saying the curse the curse and we're addressing that he's wearing the gene jacket with a ton of straps Oh that's it he is not no he's not wearing my jacket jacket that is obviously his own jacket and velcro you need a you need two forms of sort of this is cursed head jacket to keep it tight I had nothing to do with this coat why is it I like why does it go all the way down to your thighs? Because that's what it was It was not you're in your own jacket

Go go go. I shoot him down the hall and I work into his eyes Emily's gonna spit out her As he goes I look at the back of it and I see that it has nasty written in rhinestones. This denim jacket is killing me. I love it. So, Hank. I just want everyone to know I'm crying like I'm watching MightyDex3. Hank, as Hank walks down the hall and you work,

you guys see, Hank kind of passes out. You see his eyes roll back into his head, kind of glow white, he's working. He leans back, you guys are able to catch him and kind of keep an eye on his body. I catch him because I know of what this is like. He did this for me before. Wow.

It's so long ago. Pick callous hands. That's the last thing I feel. Hank, go ahead and give me an investigate or a perception check for Shank. OK. 19. Henry, as Shank goes down the hallway,

you look through his eyes. You look down, and you see that there's sort of this like dusty floor beneath you. You see there are two sets of footprints traveling back and forth down the hall. This was likely the path between the lab and here. Likely Little Rex and Big Rex, or at some point, Maksora and Kane

traveling back and forth, doing this little scheme of bringing horrors into town. But you also see some footprints leading directly into one of the walls and all you see is a torch there. Is the torch a light? The torch is a light. Okay, I use some torch to put the torch out. You put the torch out. You hear a click and see the wall shifts, revealing another path. And unlike the main path,

this one does not automatically light up. And as shank, you smell a foul smell, coming from the darkness here. Okay, so I, my mall that I do path do path thumbs up and then plug my nose P you. Okay, so that's the bathroom We found the bathroom Shank shrugs. I cannot help. I know that we are on like a mission here But I cannot help but want to know more about what's going on. I love smelling a bad smell Can you send

Shankin and try to see what's going on? Because if he is to get hurt, it is possibly not the worst. Although it could instigate a whole group of horrors. We'll be ready for that. Something tells me this is like a college dormitory, but for horrors. Hormatory. Shank steps into the path. As Shank walks down the hall,

Hank, you see blood sprayed across the wall here and it all leads to the source, the bodies of big wrecks and little wrecks bisected by a sithe. It looks like they were abducted from the tunnel and murdered here so that Moxora and Cain could replace them. So you get the sense immediately that big wrecks and little wrecks were kind of going down the main hall,

but this extra place, this is Moxora and Cain territory. You see like drag marks. It looks like they were brought back here. Okay. Um, Shank backs out of this room. Um, and I will say Hank, it is not a room. It is still a hallway. There is more stuff further down.

Um, it's not a dead end. So it's up to you if you wanna go back and get the others before you go back or just continue sending Shank ahead. I see. I can keep on sending Shank. There's no reason to bring us in here. Shank, see if you can find some sort of blueprint or something, we really gotta lock that down.

I'm gonna take off the gene jacket just as like a little, they'll be able to find us if they need to. You try to take it off, but all the Velcro and zippers and straps, make it really old. They're to do so. Yeah. You think that this was a jacket

that he was familiar with that he would have been able to take it off. So it must be a new jacket. The bejeweled face of Dan Marino is kind of hard to work around. He somehow managed to be able to do it. Shimmy out of it. You should have.

And I just want to remind anyone listening that all this came from a Nat to me as well. Because sometimes when we are talking, I smile to myself about this. You. It came from a Nat to any of asking if you could find the Jean Jacket that you say you for Totally yeah

Jank leaves behind the gene jacket And continues walking You see as shank walks down the hall you round a corner and see a little bit of light down the hall, you round a corner and see a little bit of light pouring out from a room at the end of the hallway. And in the dim light, you see some kind of night or soldier. You can't tell how much armor they're wearing or something. They have like a cloak on, like a cape, but it looks old and decrepit and without turning around, you just hear him go. Go. Go where?

Leave. Leave, leave what? Leave you? Yes. Who are you? Don't. Remember. Don't remember. Shank steps forward. Let me see your face. You see, he turns around revealing a skull with glowing red eyes under the hood of his

cloak. You immediately clock that he's wearing Aqua Marine, the color of the locknamores. You see he wields a large, two handed sword at his side. Go ahead and give me an insight or a perception check. Aqua Marine sash or? Cloak, 19. Okay, Hank, two things right off the bat. One, you see that he's kind of dressed like a blade.

Like he looks a little bit like he's got like Batill does feel. And second thing, seeing the Loch Namor colors, this looks like some kind of horror from the resurrected body of a Loch Nemore. And you know that as we said in a previous episode that in West Pre-Sync you're supposed to burn the bodies, but a, that might not have always been the role, and also when it comes to very rich powerful people. Often it's rules for the not for me. So this appears to be a reanimated locknamore down here. But it's weird. Like you would think a horror would just straight up attack you. And this dude is just telling you to leave. And he's looking quite threatening.

You see he holds his hand up and goes... No more. Go. I... let me help you. What do you need? Go ahead and give me a persuasion check. Oh hell yeah, that's an 18 on the dice. I had nothing to persuasion.

I thought that was gonna be better, but 18. 18? He had these like fiery red eyes. Suddenly his whole skull lights in flame, and he holds his head as if he has like a terrible headache. And he goes, need, need for you to go. God.

What was your name? Name. Walter. Hank, go ahead and give me an insight check. I've been rolling too good, here comes the bad one, I know it. 13. Okay, this is just a recall, something that you have already heard before. Hank, you think back and you remember that when you were at Braden Kenley's mansion that his spouse, it wasn't specifically said whether they were married or not, but his partner had been a blade a long time ago

but had died and his name was Walder and you saw his photo on the wall, you saw his painting on the wall rather and he his painting on the wall, rather, and he was wearing aqua marine. So this is Walter Lochnamore, a former blade. Does not seem like Cain, where Cain is this like resurrected blade who took a deal and now has essentially like an evil paladin has like all of these powers. This dude seems like he was brought back against his will and

seems to be guarding something and not wanting to do it but not fully having control of his own faculties. Okay. So you see after you ask him, after he says Walter, he goes, no more, no more leave. Okay, okay. I'm going, but I've seen Kenley. I've spoken to Kenley. I'm here with three new blades. We want to leave you. We want to leave you at peace, but we need your help. You see his flaming skull suddenly lights even more on fire and he reacts like somebody on fire and drops to his knees and goes leave go go okay Henry I shank backs out while I

calling to Henry Fienzark mr. Henry does it seem like a curse what's happening to him if it's a curse I can try right now to learn a spell it will This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is...

This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is...

This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... This is... I'm a little worried that this is like the other horrors we've encountered and there's only one way through this but Let's try and remove it if we can Yeah hearing

What Hank is just relate to you guys. Yeah, you see Shank comes back through the tunnel rejoins you guys Henry comes back, relays this info to you guys You would assume a blade reanimated against their will would be a powerful foe, but they would also be innately magical enough that maybe they would retain some element of their old self. Like Hank, as you walked up to him, it very much was like, I have been commanded to guard the spot,

and thus I will guard the spot, but I will do no more than that. So I'm not going to attack this dude and kill him for no reason, I'm not going to do that. I'm guarding the spot. Thia, what do you need to break a curse? Well, I don't know that it will work. It's a spell in Mr. Philip that I would have to reach out to Mr. Philip, try to learn the spell and then try to cast the spell. You hear Philip, um, sheepishly from your belt, go, um, miss? Yes, yes, Philip.

You can... Oh, fucking... Oh, fucking... Oh, fucking help you, I guess. Why, Philip? Because you really were so antagonistic before. And I am fucking antagonistic. Yes, now you are the most antagonistic. Yeah, I know, fucking antagonistic.

Goddamn. Right, I'm antagonistic. Miss, but like They came for book for And like that's our dude, you know what I mean So like like he's My guy that I believe you know what I mean and so to see somebody else come in and just like fuck him up Like that was fucked up. Do you know what I mean miss? so like I'm pissed

pissed so like if we're gonna fuck somebody up I'm down to put like our differences aside from now okay but what about this situation where I'm asking you to help me for a nice kind remove colors that would give people peace rather than fuck them up. Will this lead to like us fucking up people in the future? Fear, who struggles with lying, gives a dusty smile and nods with a pain.

Yeah, whatever we can do to get rid of this fucked up reaper shit. Okay, I think... Wow, that was a breakthrough. I was pretty sure. Okay, I think if we can try to do remove cutters and if it doesn't work, that's fine. But if it does, maybe it gives some peace to someone who many people we love, or wants dear to. I think if we can take that chance, if we can move forward in a way that harms as few

people as possible, we have to try. Roll your iconic check, or wasn't an intelligence save? We did. Intelligence save, yeah. Okay. Go ahead and roll that to learn the spell. 14, which it's a level, a level three, so that works, right? So that is successful. So you'll fill up, cooperate with you.

He flaps up like Buckeye would have. And for once you do not have to wrestle him while you try to learn a spell. I feel it, but I did not know you could fly. Yeah, I can do whatever that little fucking nerd bookvarius can we get him back, okay? I fucking miss him. I don't know. So cute. I don't.

You really? I, uh, I, uh, I, uh, I have like thumb through his pages. Yeah, okay, it feels nice, okay? But like, normally I just like seeing this stuff from like the outside. Like you do, like life is just so fucking grim sometimes, and you just see like fucking bookfars, this is like fucking shining light out there, and now he's fucking just gone. We're gonna fuck some people up, right? Phillip, we're going to get bookfar back, okay?

I promise you. We're gonna fuck people up though. I can't. We're gonna fuck a lot of fucking people? I promise you. We're gonna fuck people up though. I call them like. We're gonna fuck a lot of fucking people up to get out. We can have it both ways. That we fucking got. It's like a reversible gene jacket. We can have it both ways.

Drop the jacket, sir. Okay, so I used my, so I have one third level spell left to cast. I used it their level spell to learn it. Now I have one third level, but to cast it. What is the language of remove curse? At your touch, all curses affecting one creature or object end. If the object is a cursed magic item, its curse remains,

but the spell breaks its owner's attunement to the object, so it can't, so it can be removed or discarded. Okay. Cool. Yes, so there's no save. So it sounds like it's removed the curse. I turned to Dr. Rizarka and Mr. Yes, so there's no save. So it sounds like a story moves a curse. I turned to Dr. Ruzark and Mr. Henry and I say, guys, I think this could go badly, so maybe we all go in together. Okay. Yeah. Go back you up. Quick ritual. Quick, quick, quick, wait you all, yes, we all do little kisses on the cheek.

What? I guess I try to guess Philip. If anyone wants to give me a little kiss. It's fine Come here. Come here. Yeah, yeah, okay. Let's kiss everyone. Shit You cover is surprisingly soft and I guess I'm just going to fucking sprint in there and try to cast a remove cutters on this guy before he attacks me He's in there and tried to cast or remove cutters on this guy before he attacks me. I believe that together! Fiya, you run ahead, go ahead and everybody roll initiative. Okay. There is my bad roll. Shout out to the two crew.

Dirty 20. 22, my initiative is going to be a five. So Zirk, technically you are first. You can hold your action until Fiya acts, but you see you guys rushed down the hall, Fia in kind of first position here. You see as you guys round the corner and begin running towards this dude, you see the skull once again, a lights, flaming skull. You see, draws his sword and goes, go, go, now! Can I actually use my action to distract Walter in a way that I think might help Fiya? Sure.

Cool. As we're rushing in, I wait for Fiya to start casting the remove curse, and I pull out the map that Braden Kinley painted for us, and I hold it up. Oh! He's still out there. He still thinks about you. He told us about you.

You see, Zirk, as you open up this painting, Fia runs in. He's about to engage with him. He is temporarily distracted by you and kind of falters but goes back to swing again, but Fiya gets a crack first. Fiya, that is your turn. I just lay my fucking cans on him, and I say, what I did to you was wrong. You were perfect the way you were.

And then I cast Remove Curs. You cast Remove Curs. Fiya, you hold your hand out. There is this blast of force that knocks him back. You see he goes from standing up straight, holding his sword, kind of eyes on Zirk looking at the painting. Fiya knocks him back. You see he crashes into the ground.

Still a horror, but his flaming skull goes out, and you just see smoke, like black smoke, all around his head. I squint my eyes and keep clutching to try to remove the curse. You see, he stumbles to his feet. Thank you. You're okay. I thought I was giving you the piece of death, but you are okay then. No, but you understand us. Walter, you know who you are now. It is a distant memory.

Like a dream. A nightmare. I left this body a long time ago. I've returned to the cycle and have lived other lives. Few things are familiar. You see he points to the map that Zirk is holding. Brayden. That's right. I remember little, but I remember Brayden. map that Zirk is holding. somewhere you are in danger that we know we will just leave you here in this room oh I will lead you oh that's pretty sick you see this parade just got pretty fucking awesome. You wanna switch with some red, buddy?

Yeah. Yeah. It's actually a rose, because there's a little white in there. That's right. It's a blend. It's a blend. Yeah, you probably won't mind the glass, but just a heads up through his glass. Blend.

You blended two wines. Way more than two. Yes, but like a bunch of reds and one white. You see Skull begins flaming again. He holds a sad and great pain. Why? Why would you do this? Sari, are you a song?

It's just grapes, dude. It's chill out. But yes, lead us, because we are trying to get into this lab. Have you been to the lab? What for you here to guard? Do you have any memory of what was dispatched to you? The sorceress brought me back to guard this from you, from anyone.

And begins riding another corner and walking down the hall. You know, I'm actually a guard to myself. So we actually have a little something in common. Yeah, looks at your sword. Blade. That's right. Blade. I will get, I will get his fists. Yeah, points to, points to his chest. Blade. Blade. Blade. Blade. It holds up his gun and goes, Blight. Blight. Blight. You see that there had been light kind of cascading onto him, and he walks into the source of that light. There's like a room right there.

I trust him, I follow. Same. You guys follow Walder, and you find the source of the light, which is this room full of equipment. Looks like a mini lab, all its own, but it's messy, less functional. You see parts strewn about. As if they were trying to learn how to build the machine here, and on the far side of the room, you see a wall of water. As if it was held up by some kind of spell, this looks like it leads directly into the lake.

What the fuck? I know what you're going to say next, Merv. I know what you're going to say. You see, Walder pulls out a bag of peanuts and goes, Pune-nut? Okay, didn't you? Yeah, I was just asking. I was asking.

I'm done. You see, Walder... It's just as I thought. Points out to the water. I was to protect this. You had to protect the lake? Uh, shakes his head. What's he pointing at? Is he pointing at the water?

He's pointing at the water. There's something in the lake. Is there a plane? Is there somewhere that you can teleport to in the lake? Can I look through the water? Do I see anything like swimming in this water? Yeah. Or anything like that? Zirk, you walk up to this wall of water.

At first, you're like, oh, maybe there's like a glass wall here or something, but you touch it and it's wet. It seems like it's held up here by magic. Zirk, as you walk up to it, go ahead and give me a perception check. And I'll say everybody can do it, because I assume you guys kind of follow them. Yeah. Yeah.

That's gonna be a shout out to the two, Kuru. It's only a nine for me. That's a 23rd mate for me. Nice. Whoa. Zirk, the water is quite dark, but you see a teeny, teeny, teeny bit of light. And you recognize it as being a protective bubble, and you vaguely see within it the shape

of a machine. No. The necrophone set at the bottom of the lake. There's an airtight barrier that keeps it out of the water firmly planted in the sand and as you look out you see a little bit of movement around it and you hear Walter go... Too late. No, we gotta stop that thing. Okay, now I'm gonna fucking say next. You hear a sustained ding.

Reverberate through the water. You know that siren lake is an open lake, which means it connects to a bunch of rivers that go all throughout Interboro and Anorboro. Sounds travel so much better in water. Sounds travels much faster through water. So you can quickly surmise that this is a very, very bad situation and can mean more than just a horror invasion and West precinct. And you do see as soon as this wheel begins to spin, there's like this movement, you see the water begins reacting strangely.

Like, there are creatures built of the water itself. Do we just have to fucking dive in here? We have to get... This is a fucking distraction, right? This is just the fucking stakes, right? Of us having to get to the twilight to get to this other place. As long as that sound is going off though, it could be bad for the entire world. I don't think we can risk it. Do you have the spell silence, Mr. Zirk? I-I-I don't. I have a gun that I could shoot at the machine if we're close enough. Give it a shot! Come on! Okay.

Yeah, how far is-how far is the necrophone? Is it like- Um, it's not too too far. It's like about a hundred feet away at the base of the lake. Okay. How deep is the lake? I would know how deep this lake was, right? Hank, the lake can get as deep as like 600 feet. Alright. Does anyone want to come to the fucking necrophon?

Mr. Henry, you need to be close. Let's fucking dimension door through this fucking necrophon. Let's go. I need my kid to not fight horrors. That's really a high priority for me. I grab Mr. Henry and we disappear. Yes. And I reappear at the Neckphone. Nice and Hank, you guys disappear and reappear in this airtight bubble around the Necrophone. As you hear this reverberating ding, and you are safe in this bubble for now,

but you see all of these strange watery creatures, and you remember Fia learning that oftentimes when people die in West precinct, that their ashes are spread on the lake, you see the faces of all of these people in the water Around this protective bubble. I do a little hand squeeze to Mr. Henry and I say This is pretty sick though, isn't it? And we stairs unblinking at the faces and it's just

Admittedly cool, but very very bad And that's where we'll end our session. Oh, God, go. Wow. Admittedly cool. Admittedly cool. Honestly, it's very cool that you pulled the wool over our eyes with that nice little detail about the cremation. So many episodes ago.

God damn. I'm so mad at myself because I've had silence in the past of spellcasters, and I wish I had thought to learn it because sound is a thing. It's too late. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, you could have, we'll talk about this more in the short rest, but avoiding that fight was huge.

He was a challenge rating like 12. He was a tough fight. A really tough fight. And remove curse. I was gonna allow the bell to possibly be used, but you would have had to beat a DC 23, I think. Yikes. Oh yeah, I mean, I don't even have the thing to learn.

I just know that in the past, I meant more like in the past as spellcaster. I don't even know if Wizards get access to it. I just don't like get it like at next level. No. No. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Case for it. But I was thinking because you were like, oh, there's an anti-magic thing and I was like, what a goof. I can't believe I learned dimension door.

And then I can't. Don't work that pretty well though. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. Sweet. Thank you all so much for listening. I can head on over to our patreon patreon.com slash nad pod that's any DDPO D don't sing.

Yeah. We are. We are. You can head on over to our Patreon, patreon.com slash nad pod, this any DDPO, D don't sing. Yeah. We are to hear us talk more about this. Does anybody have anything they'd like to plug? Oh, you know what, I'm gonna plug. What's up? We've been watching Detroiters. Oh yeah, it's great.

Fortunately, not a show anymore, but. We just love it. So fun. Go ahead and check out Detroiters. On me. That's right, I'm buying everyone a Paramount Plus subscription. I swear I'm watching TV and it's good. I can't think of the show that I'm into right now

because now I'm just thinking about Detroiters. So watch that. I'll just co-sign. And hacks, I also really like hacks. Both of those don't sound as good as reruns of the nanny on HBO Max, which is all that I have the brain power to watch. You know, I love the nanny.

In college, there used to be a back-to-back morning, 8 a.m., the nanny, and golden girls. And where do you think I got my entire fucking personality? Yeah. You know, in brand dressers, husband on the show, that's what. I'm a classic Mr. Sheffield. In a world full of analysis. I would love to plug our PO box.

I recently visited and there's all so much fun stuff there now. So here we go. Someone sent us two cans of Lucky Charms Marshmallow bits. Wow. Oh, so awesome. Emily hasn't been playing enough piano. Yes. There are reference to a short rest where Emily said that she was given rewards

for playing the piano well as a child. One of those rewards was Lucky Charms Marshmallows, which was not an entire bowl. They would give her bits of oat, put it out on the piano and feed her a little bit per session. I just highly recommend the short rest. Like you really could do the short rest. Yeah, once again, check out the short rest. Like you really think of it as short rest. Yeah, once again, check out the short rest here. This is what you're missing.

So now, Emily, you can reward yourself with actual marshmallows whenever you play the piano well. I am gonna practice so much bar talk. You can only have one marshmallow per session though. I am gonna make that work. Fair, hard but fair. Michael W sent us jars of their homemade jam. It came in cute, little mason jars.

It looks absolutely delicious. Thank you, Michael. That's awesome. Yeah, Jordan sent Emily a Tehrigon ceramic spice cottage and some sea. It's so cute. It's great. I'm just gonna steal a pinch of that Tehrigon
