Hello again, it's Brennan Lee Mulligan, and you're listening to part two of this episode of Critical Role.

If you haven't checked out part one yet, pause this now and head over there first.

What are you doing?

Otherwise, let's jump right back into this adventure and the world of Aroman.

Welcome back to episode one campaign for a critical role.

Laura, give me a death saving throw.

Classroom.

Eleven, that's a success.

Incredible.

Go ahead.

Okay, with a success.

Thimble,

you are a pixie from

Tier Cruz of the land of fairy beyond this realm of place beyond you see a golden orchard swimming in your head.

There's so much

Theazi Theazzi's counting on you.

We're all another death savings.

Oh shit, okay.

Oh my god

17.

17.

His face.

Tell Fimble,

don't be scared.

There's something on the wind.

A falcon

soaring.

Give me another death-saving throw.

Oh, fuck.

One.

Okay, okay.

But seeing Thimble and the

two successes, two failures.

Everybody, for the first time in this campaign, roll initiative.

Including you.

You will roll with disadvantage.

Actually, no, you'll roll straight.

Natural 20 for a 22.

Natural 20.

20, 22.

What did we get here?

22.

It's so cold.

It's bad.

No, 22, but my initiative was.

Okay, but you got a 22 as well.

I did.

On a nat 20, you're going to go first.

Okay.

Okay.

20.

What do we get?

A five.

A five.

I'm somewhere.

I'm very distracted as we come into this crime scene.

Um, on that natural one,

you see it.

You remember the day you were with him.

He was holding you in the palm of his hand.

I'm so sorry.

But

they closed them.

And you see the doors to fairy closing.

Death, the shadow of the underworld racing against the light.

That inner spark within you connecting you to lands beyond, vanishing.

That was the last day you felt it.

The day you started aging.

The day that Fairy vanished from the world.

The light is leaving.

That's what it means to be immortal.

And on that one, your light begins to leave.

Teor, you are looking down.

This was Theazi's...

to say his partner, his partner in everything, in crime, adventure, war, and heroism.

Thimble and Theazi were thick as thieves, and everywhere they traveled, they traveled side by side.

And you watch as the light begins to leave her in this moment.

It is your turn.

I see the light dimming, and I look down, and

I remember you so vividly, and yet you've changed.

You seem different.

And just instinctually, I grab onto something that's on my on my waist and I reach out a single claw and I ever so gently just touch it to your breastplate and I will cast layon hands.

I'm sorry, cure wounds.

2d8.

Plus my

spellcasting ability.

Okay.

There is through the grate, Travis.

Yes.

And I promise I'm not trying to be cruel.

Oh shit.

Oh my gosh.

But there is a grate in the floor between you and where Thimble is.

Do you want to give me either an athletics check or something else to try to move it, or an acrobatics to try to squeeze your hands?

I would use athletics to rip the holy motherfuck out of that grate and leave no chance of anything getting moved between you and me.

Hell yeah.

If you so desire, even though there's possible danger everywhere, I will let you make that roll with advantage

if you disregard your own physical well-being and getting the grate out of it.

All right.

Amazing.

19 plus 4.

23.

23.

You take just three points of bludgeoning damage, literally shoving your claws through the grate.

The grate is kind of not big enough to get your hands in there, and you force them through, skinning your knuckles on the way in.

And

all of you watch Teor just pull the some of the stone comes out with it.

Boom!

As part of your movement, as your object interaction to just get this thing out of there.

Cast cure wounds for me, my friend.

Hold thimble, hold, and you'll see just a little bit of divine radiance extend down his silvery gray forearm, down to the claw, and

into your chest, and you heal 13 points.

Thimble.

The light is leaving until suddenly

the sun is rising.

It's warm again.

You look up,

but this is a dream that it will hurt to leave.

For the waking world holds no joy for you as you regain consciousness.

Easy, little one.

Teor.

Hi, Thimble.

What are you?

And I look next to me and I see.

I see the glyph.

I have to get to The Azi.

I have to get this on Theazi.

What do you mean it's done?

What do you mean it's done?

It's done.

It didn't work.

I'm sorry.

And the disguise self-melts.

It's okay.

Breathe.

The Aussie is gone.

The Aussie, it's gone.

When?

When?

How long ago I look up?

Do I see the sky?

Is it nighttime?

It's no longer that.

Oh.

I didn't.

I didn't even get to say goodbye.

No.

Thimble.

Thimble.

And I approach you as you're holding onto Taylor's hand.

He knew.

I spoke to him in my way and and

he

He told me to tell you what

that you

You

you did so well

And you're so proud of me I did shit

the glyph is here.

I fucked it up

These these people came in they they they attacked me.

How do they even know?

How do they even know?

We don't know, but we're gonna find that out.

What?

What?

We're gonna find that out.

Azune, as you look at the glyph on the ground beside Thimble,

something's not adding up.

Wait, I you the glyph was there.

The glyph was there.

Wait, and I want to take a look at that glyph.

You told me that.

Give me an Arcana check as you investigate it.

Okay.

Um,

you pick it up.

This is an enormous wrinkle.

Something is wrong.

Uh, I start to look at it, if I may.

Yeah.

Uh, can I guidance myself?

Yeah.

As I investigate investigate that.

I close my eyes and I know that this moment needs me to focus and I let my mind take me to a place of calm and I remember

my mother's face

as I take a breath.

That is a 22 arcana.

You're looking.

The glyph is perfect.

It's exactly, this is what,

And you're thinking back.

There was no way for you.

This is the glyph.

It's here.

And there's no way that's possible.

And so the question is on a 22, what did you scan?

You got the...

You got conjuration.

I was looking for conjuration and illusion.

And you see conjuration and illusion here exactly.

But the issue is...

You were reading an aura because it had to stay hidden in his jacket.

And you're going back and you're saying, I didn't actually get a, get my eyes on what was in his jacket

something is not adding up on a 22

you know that this is accurate that this is the thing that Thimble was working on this one you are holding in your hand and seeing with your own eyes yes but something

this it can't have gotten from the azi back here no it's still on his body You know, there's something still on his body, yeah.

We need to go back.

I'll pick up the glyph.

This is the right one.

This is the one.

This is what was supposed to be on him, but Thimble, somebody was on some this.

You told me there was the correct glyph on his walk.

It was.

It registered.

I did the scan, and it registered.

It pinged.

It pinged conjuration and illusion.

And it was placed.

I start looking around the room.

I start moving my wings and I get a little bit off the ground and start looking around the room to see if those men took anything else.

You had something on the Aussie.

You were trying to save him.

Yes.

As you begin looking around the room, it is chaos here.

And I think your fairy senses scan out through this space.

They have pillaged everything.

If that glyph, you remember in your last moment of combat, masked figures barging into the room as you were finishing the glyph, waiting for the moment of transfer where you could fly out through the city under cover of darkness, plant it in Theazzi's coat, exactly where it was supposed to go.

The plan was set.

It was you, Tysha, Octus.

Tysha and Octus were going to be waiting to get him out of the city.

Azune was going to throw the scan so that it wouldn't register as there being magic.

The wagon was going to be provided by Casimir, an old member of the Torn banner, and it was going to be put in place by Sid, Teor's younger brother, was going to drive it into place.

He was supposed to break the rune, appear in the wagon, head out, get found by Tysha and Octus, and make his way out of the city.

Looking around, not only is this place completely ransacked, but

you killed at least three of them when they came in, and there's no one to be found in here.

You look and see the grate.

If you had not, with your last effort, grabbed the glyph and fallen into the grate, I think, Tayor, looking at the thing you just tore out of the ground, you can see fingerprints on it residually from like,

in other words, she fell through and was hidden away from where they could get her, other, and then they ransacked the place and left um

looking around though there's so there are so many questions here and i think

give me investigation if you'd like

god

i'm traumatized right now

um seven

looking around

you have no

it all happened so fast

looking at this chaos

You would need a miracle to be able to piece together what happened here

Which means it's really good news that a miracle walks in

Robbie you want to come out

Robbie

we have Kleenex back in the booth

I didn't bring Kleenex.

What's up?

Hi.

Hell yeah.

Um

to

Octus

All of you, I have all of your passive perceptions in front of me.

A ghost appears in the doorway, Octus.

You.

You don't recognize the figure,

but Thimble, Teor, and Azune all do.

Robbie, you want to go ahead and describe your character for us?

Yeah.

You see...

a human man.

Is he tall?

He's cowardly.

He is

so tall.

He actually is an imposing figure.

He's older.

I say in his mid-40s or so.

But it's tough to tell because he's lived a hard life, a weathered life from the very beginning.

You see a man

at the waning peak of his physical ability, but he was definitely there and very, very capable.

He's 6'4, 220 pounds.

He's carved out of the oak that he lives among.

Cadogan Vale is

has a cowlin hood over his head and

monochrome.

Everything on him feels

scavenged but purposeful.

High quality and cared for but

but wild and raw and the things that he wears represents who he is on the inside as well.

He is

a wild man in a place that he shouldn't be.

And

as he sort of appears in the doorway in this imposing figure,

he stumbles just a little bit.

That aura goes away.

And as he stumbles, he leans against the door.

And you can tell, hey, he's been drinking.

Yeah.

And that

takes away, it diminishes him and the sort of aura that he's putting out.

But he recovers quickly and does his best to make a joke and says,

I thought this was going to be a funeral, not a reunion.

The sigil that Octus had started burning into the air

fizzles.

I have that effect on many.

And then through the open window, a massive juvenile canine just

floats through the air and lands right in the middle of the room, immediately off to his quarter.

And yeah.

I fly up in the air.

And it growls at everyone in the room.

And slowly walks over to Cat again and sits at him without any command.

Stops growling and looks looks out at everyone.

I know that dog.

What?

Pin

comes up on my shoulder and flows in and goes and

sniffs at

the dog.

This little fox made out of pieces of foxes.

Cadogan's completely confused.

I've seen this dog in the woods.

Pin wanders in the woods sometimes, and sometimes I look through his eyes and I see this dog.

Well, you'd absolutely recognize him because

Wolfrick, the wolf, not a dog.

I'm not good at naming things.

Is armored himself.

And it mirrors Cadogan's armor.

On his side is an empty quiver.

He even wears a tattered cowl.

And

Cadogan knows what's going to happen next.

He's just going to tear tear this fox to pieces.

And instead, uh Wolfrick and

help me

pin pin

circle each other

and Wolfrick takes a submissive pose and Pin just kind of jumps on him in place.

And Cadigan goes, Won't you look at that?

Hey, you've been uh you've been making friends out there without me.

That's why Pin wanted to wear the scarf.

I step forward,

recognizing someone I haven't seen in

10, 15 years.

It's hard to know what.

Cat.

It's good to see you.

You look good, old man.

What are you doing here?

Did you know?

He rubs some of the alcohol out of his eyes.

The Aussie's pixie.

Thimble.

Yeah, right around Thimble, Thimble.

What's going on here?

How old are you here?

Oh, fuck, fuck.

And he pushes Tayor out of the way and goes, you, I remember you, the boy, the boy.

Look at that arm.

Oh, you got you.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I followed you.

Yeah, you're easy to follow.

Noisy, loud, clumsy.

I'm half drunk, and you fucks are easy.

Listen, we need to leave.

This is a crime scene, and it's possible that people are gonna come here and find us here.

Were you here?

Were you at

the execution?

Yeah.

Yes.

And

Cadogan's mind sort of drifts off to the execution,

standing cloaked and alone in a crowded space.

And

he's...

fully in his right mind at this point.

After what he'd seen in the rural areas surrounding what was happening at the Crofters village, he needed to come into town for a drink, which he rarely comes into the city, very rarely.

And whispers on the wind

said a familiar name was in trouble.

And

as he watched the execution unfold, in his mind's eye, he sort of painted a picture of

what could happen.

And the thing about Cadogan is like

he's unnerving to be around because

there's no clue what's going to happen.

He could get a drink, a handshake, a handful of coin, or a headbutt.

You never know.

And in his mind's eye, he sees this scenario where

he jumps up on stage and

slices down a guard and frees the Aussie and runs off but catches arrows in the back because there's no way he could do this.

And he knows he would die doing it.

But it sounds like fun.

So he's fantasizing, he's imagining.

And as he imagines, the grip is tighter on his club.

And you feel this sort of feral flight-or-flight energy.

And Wolfrick at his side nudges his hand, and his grip lets go.

And as he comes out of this fantasy and scans the area, he sees

Teor in the distance, watching.

And he sees you,

because you're part of it.

And he follows them to the funeral, watches them go inside, and almost thinks about joining.

And then he hears the cacophony of voices, that part in awake

where the quiet turns to reverie as people start to become comfortable and celebrate life.

And he decides not to go.

And in that moment, as he's turning to walk out,

all of you step out of the funeral.

So he decides to follow.

And this is where he finds himself.

Not sure why he's here.

Looking around at this place,

even as Azune begins to discuss the urgency of your situation, how bad this is here,

I think

it's so second nature that it's almost effortless.

As Cadogan is surveying the space, go ahead and give me any skill checks you want about what would occur to you in surveying this space.

You're, I mean.

Yeah.

Hold on.

Sure, sure.

I stumble over and I look at the

what anybody else would seem like chaos, but I see the footprints.

And I see the handprints and I see the

action unfold.

in the remnants of what happened and um I just subtly cast clue

to myself.

I fly up and I land on Octus's shoulder while he's doing this.

And then, as I cast Clue, all of the footprints and fingerprints within a 30-foot radius come to life in my eyes, and they all change different colors.

And every single one of those footprints and fingerprints, and everything from that battle comes to life, and I see it unfold before me as real as it were happening in this moment.

And I get this image

of what unfolded.

This spell fucking fools.

Doesn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.

It doesn't do damage.

No one ever uses it.

Pretty sweet.

I'll see you.

I'll see you.

Cadigan, you see, you know, Wolfrick, some sort of scent informs everything, sound, and you can even play these like visible footprints and fingerprints.

You can almost arrange them in time.

There's a rhythm to them, there's a dance.

As you do so,

you will get all the information here that you need, but also feel free to give me a survival.

And I'll just about to do it with advantage.

Go ahead and give me survival with advantage or investigation with advantage.

Survival investigation, sure.

Ninth cocked.

I'll take the good one.

Bad.

Okay.

16.

16.

Hell yeah.

As you begin searching,

looking throughout this space here,

you

watch the fingerprints unfold.

On that 16

survival tracks coming in,

Probably about seven people came in here.

Okay.

Fucking temple.

Damn.

Three died.

And looking at

the fight that broke out here, they came in, they came in masked, and they came in knowing that there was going to be a fight.

They were not caught off guard.

They knew that a fight was waiting for them inside.

The dead bodies, three of them got dragged out of here.

In being dragged out, you find

some

crow feathers.

You smell them.

There's pine resin,

alcohol, a thick sheen of tobacco smoke.

These were worn as part of clothing,

handled.

Your mind immediately goes to the Crow Keepers, which you know is one of the oldest thieves guilds in Dolmakyar.

And looking at how these guys fought, these guys fought like

murderers, not soldiers.

Meaning that once they found Thimble inside, they didn't know what to do.

Like the reason that three of them they brought overwhelming numbers thinking that they were going to get the drop on somebody, they absolutely did not.

And therefore, the fighting was sloppy, but just overwhelming.

Moreover,

only about

just judging by like the boots here

there's something that's that's troubling to you.

There's like a

six of the sets of boots are old, tattered.

One set is fine.

Fine.

And you see fingerprints

over a mantelpiece where there is shattered glass and see the residue of someone drawing runes against the mantle.

You detect the presence of sorcery.

There is a...

someone broke a glass encasement here to take something.

And it looks like

everything of mag like scanning the room, everything of magical import other than this glyph

is gone.

You do.

Once you see, as Cadogan points it out to you,

the object that you retrieved on your last big adventure with

Theazi of several months, like a month or two ago, you got back from it.

The song,

the night song, right?

The stone of night song.

The stone of night song.

What is that?

Yeah, I don't know magic.

What is that?

It's a fucking

black stone with crow

crows.

Yeah, yes, uh, crows.

It's super magical.

I don't know.

Why?

Do I know anything about this?

Give me Arcana.

Give me our kana check.

Can I?

Yeah, go for it.

Um,

13.

13.

13.

21.

21.

Um

on a 21 this uh on a 19 also if any of you have religion you can give me religion.

It'll be a lower DC.

No.

No.

On a 21 Arcana.

Huh?

I was like I do

better if I use Arcana.

21.

Stone of Night song.

Yeah, there is a reference to that in the Penteverl.

Back at the school, there is...

The Stone of Night Song is referenced

as

some relic.

It came up in something about the Shapers' War.

It was used by...

If you're not mistaken, it was an elven

artifact.

Right.

Yeah.

Used by the elves in the Shapers' War.

I don't remember what it does.

I just remember reading about it.

Thimble, I'm sorry.

You were with The Aussie when you collected this item.

Yeah.

You have been.

A couple weeks ago?

Yeah, two weeks ago.

I don't know, we got this

a few months back.

This.

Was it

connected?

Did they just happen to come in at the same time?

There's no way they would have even known about the hideout.

something betrayed us

yes i think so yeah can i see that stone well no they oh shit took it right

they wanted to draw it for you if they yes actually that would be very helpful can i find a scrap piece of paper and yeah all right i'll pick up the pencil and like slowly walk as you draw it it's a spherical it's a spherical stone that is a sort of like

perpendicular embrace of wings of some kind of like

you know, it could have been a crow, but also I think you'd heard Theazzi refer to it as a nightingale.

A nightingale.

It's a bird.

That

looks like it's embracing itself in its wings to create a sphere, and it's a carved stone.

I'm like kind of taking a mental image of that.

You can take the piece of paper I drew it for you.

Well, thank you.

I'll take that.

I know someone actually who could help us.

Kat,

This is Cat again.

He ditched us after a battle.

So, no?

Um, this is Tinotayor and yes, he has a bit better there.

Yeah.

The cat is a fierce warrior and a good man.

Oh well one of those okay great

did you come here categorical for the just by happenstance or did you did you hear I'm sorry I wasn't following completely you heard you knew the execution what'd you say did you know about Tiazzi did you know that he was whispers on the wind and all that I heard about it yeah

I was um

I was finishing out a contract.

I'm a very very highly sought-after

bounty hunter and

warrior of the people, if you will.

And at that, Wolfrick just goes and just sneezes.

Don't worry about him.

But yeah, there's.

Well, you know, you know, Pinebow?

No, you don't.

You don't fucking know Pinebow, do you?

You wouldn't, would you?

I don't know if I would.

Yes.

City folk, city folk.

It's all right.

Pinebow, it's a little

agricultural community crafters.

They make all sorts of things.

Huh?

It's at house.

Oh.

Can we go?

Yes, we can.

Let's go.

The letter.

Can I look around?

Is the letter still here?

Give me an investigation check with advantage.

My dice.

13.

13.

With advantage.

With advantage.

The teeniest little fairy Oh my god.

We can't read it.

No.

Yes, correct.

I really can't read it.

Three.

Fuck.

Inside check.

You get a 13?

Yes.

13.

Taking a moment.

I would say I'm a 13.

It takes some time, but you know you can't leave without it.

So with some help, there is something of

Fiazis that you absolutely cannot leave here without.

And you end up

finding a letter with a single name on it.

Bolaire.

Finally, you find it.

And as we see the name Bolaire on this letter, we must return to the holder of the name, which means returning to the Fang family home.

Thank you for your time at the table.

Let's go.

And I'd love our funeral goers to come home back.

People were getting cold by you.

Jesus.

I need a woman.

I'll just sit by you.

Damn.

I'll sit by you.

I'm here.

But wait a minute.

But hold on, but wait a minute.

What do we want?

Well, because we have everyone at the funeral, but as I said, the name, we should have its holder.

Talis and Jabby, would you come out and join us, please?

Yeah!

Hello.

Sit on our side.

So, here, take this guy here.

Spilled my drink.

Sour.

That's okay.

So many things.

Wow.

That was beautiful.

It was crazy.

Lovely.

That was great.

Incredible.

Walking up the cobblestone street to the top of the rookery,

we see

the holder of this name on this letter

in the wreckage of Theazzi's hiding spot.

However, unlike the chaos that unfolds in that room,

I think a rather dashing figure now approaches the home.

Talisman, would you please describe your character for us as he approaches?

Well,

Bolaire currently is holding his cloak in his hand, which normally he will

wear to kind of keep a low profile, but considering that he knows exactly where he's going and is prepared to be a bit of a spectacle, is showing off.

He wears a very fine

set of clothing.

It's not very rich, but it certainly has money and a bit of

somewhere between ostentatious taste and trying to blend in, but really not wanting to.

He wears black leather and suede

tied over an underlayer of

deep red crimson.

He is covered head to toe

from gloves all the way up to a high neck.

He has very long curly dark red hair.

And the most notable thing about Bolaire is that he wears a mask

and this mask is a

gray clay

with dark gray almost black lips.

and very, very

large empty pools of blackness where each eye should be with a cut to indicate possibly tears that run down the face.

Deep within these black pools you can see tiny blue reflected lights almost like a cat hiding in a shadow at night

and that's what blinks instead of the mask deep, deep within.

This would be even more disturbing as, as he approaches the door, the mask itself

sighs and moves just like a real face.

Sighing at the door, you are about to walk in to the home of a friend and the funeral.

Not of a friend.

I don't know Theazi very well.

My dealings with him are

private

and

often through

an intermediary.

But

I did go

to the execution.

Thinking back

there

in the shadows, higher up in the seats at the back

of the nobles' viewing gallery,

you yourself not a noble, but one who

deals in matters of nobility, welcome in the spaces afforded to nobles.

You look down.

and see Theazi's final words.

What were you feeling in those last moments before the rope went taut?

I was there to see who was going to help him.

He's far too clever to let this be the end of him.

And it's better to see things in person because second-hand accounts are even more unreliable than first ones.

I needed to know who had that kind of power and who decided to exercise it.

Sadly, my empty seat next to me for my companion who decided not to show, I'm not terribly surprised, but it would have been nice to have company.

But I'm perfectly happy to sit and not

have to make a face.

Theazi's final moment.

An incredible show of force.

The first execution in the history of the city of Dolmakyar, carried out exclusively under the authority of the Chamber of the Lord's Advisory.

An auspicious day for the power of the sundered houses.

Fuck.

The memory fades.

And you approach the house of Hallandil Fang.

You enter within and see

Tysha Loy

of the Domakyar Lois

absolutely shit-faced, holding a demon's ear.

She is mid-druidic rant,

but you can see that there are streaks of tears down her cheeks.

And she looks up at you and doesn't want to break the rant.

And you see her blink, and then you see a second set of eyelids blink, and her voice continues, but now it's on the other side of the room as I burn a wild shape to summon Holla, my wild companion, who continues the rites in my stead so I can turn turn and address you.

Welcome.

I would ask if you're alright, but

this is, even for you, impressive.

It's been a while.

I'm sorry for showing up like this, but I assumed you would need help.

And I'm more than happy to

distract some of the more

inappropriate people who you look very familiar.

I'm Tyranny.

Tyranny.

Tyranny.

You look so familiar.

I just can't put my face on it.

I may name my finger on your face.

I can't put my finger on your face.

I really wouldn't.

You came to the gala

six months ago.

You did at the museum.

Do you remember?

First and only party.

I don't remember much of it.

We are well aware because you did, in fact, manage to elude security for nearly 15 minutes before we found you having thrown up into one of the only three remaining urns

of the eyes of Kellun.

It's alright.

Now we use it as a teaching exercise in the cleaning of antiquities.

Oh, oh, that's great.

So I helped.

I suppose you could see it.

I have, hold on.

I have a thing for you.

I do.

do.

A box.

Did I give it to Octus?

Where is Octus?

Octus is here.

Where did...

Where is my...

As you look around, I think, Wick and how you guys descend the staircase from on high, how you can see that the fullness of the gathering is here now.

Like, there are a lot of...

You see some of Theazzi's more criminal

associates here.

There are some like arconists and occultists in the space.

A lot of neighborhood people, a lot of family friends.

But the house is full and people are coming up to the table as Taisha's deer, Hala, is standing with its nose sort of down towards the top of Theazi's head as he is laid out on the table, his arms crossed.

You see a bunch of family friends are coming and putting like uh you know brass rings and adornments on his fingers and laying brooches or necklaces across his chest.

So he's sort of being like gathered up with small treasures and trinkets here on his viewing.

Halandila, where is my son?

I have to give the box.

Oh, dear.

You're asking me about Al?

Um,

no, no.

Um, the Octus.

Sorry, where is Octus?

I've been upstairs for uh a little bit.

I don't know.

Is he here?

No.

I say, as I pet your deer by my brother's body.

body.

You see walking in through the door

a beautiful merchant woman who looks about in her like early 40s, a gorgeous gown made of like rich imported textiles

and a young half-work daughter with her.

This is a human woman who's walking in with her half-work daughter.

She looks up at you.

This is your daughter, Hero.

Looks up and goes, Hi, Dad.

Hey, dear.

She runs over and gives you a hug.

Elodie looks over and says,

Tysha, hello.

Hi.

I'm trying to lock in so much.

Do you want to use the Druidcraft cantrip to instantly soberize yourself?

Woo!

We're so good.

She walks up to you, and Elod

goes, Tysha, hello.

Hi, how are you?

Awful.

Yeah.

So sorry.

Were you there today?

Yeah.

She looks over

and gives you a big hug.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

How are you doing?

To hero.

You see, she goes,

well,

any report from my own life would be

improperly positive for the events that we now face together.

Business is well in life as well, and let us say no more of it than that.

I lean forward and kiss her on the forehead.

She puts her forehead against your face as well.

You see, she looks and says, Oh, Master Lothalia, it's a pleasure to see you.

I believe I saw you elsewhere in the

viewing gallery.

Thank you for being here.

And

neither I nor my family blinks at this mask, which to a stranger might

set somebody back a pace or two, but

not a wink at it.

I'm here for whatever you need, including hopefully distracting some of the more difficult elements.

This

stays for you at this point.

We're feeling it out.

We're all feeling it out.

Thank you for coming, of course.

Um, I think, Sam, you're holding the sentiment.

I don't have a good time to give it to him, but I guess now is a good time.

If you, if you can, you can absolutely stand here.

You see that a

um

there is a beast folk warrior

looking over who's speaking to this orcish woman Loza.

You see

it looks over this.

He's got a massive boar's head, brawny body, big stomach.

It looks over as you're holding the scimitar.

He looks over and goes,

oh, the Aussie's sword.

Nice.

Right, right, right, right, of course.

Tyranny, Tyranny, okay.

Hey, are you still in trouble?

No, I mean,

yes, a little bit.

Okay.

That's beside the point.

I have something to tell you.

Have you been drinking?

Yeah, I know, I know.

Tyranny.

Ember verse 151 Cloud Not the Spark with Poison.

Red?

Remember?

But you did cloud the spark.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay,

listen.

Everybody here's, everyone here is drinking, and so I kind of feel like because you people don't really know.

Tyranny, I'm going to cast thaumaturgy and yell three times my normal volume.

Tyranny!

Be still.

Yes, Iranians.

I'm gonna read some hymns.

You can go in the corner and start reading hymns.

I uh through all through that like bubbling up bickering, Hal has just been sort of like looking through it at Bolaire and thinking about his brother's words until that voice shatters the room.

I whip back.

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.

Um, sorry.

I hadn't found a good time to present this to you, but um, on behalf of the head of our family, please accept this, your brother's blade oh

oh my

uh well

thank you wick

um

that is a a kindness i i

as the sword crosses sort of the

Media Cruces of your home, it passes like over the doorway, or like the door is on the other side of the room.

As the sword exchanges hands, a figure enters the door that knows that sword quite well.

Thank you.

Aha!

Hi, Matt!

Hello, everybody.

Wait, what was his vibe coming in?

We're about to find out because we're about to find out what his vibe was immediately prior to coming in.

A gleaming green and golden carriage, baroque and wrought all throughout, stylized and gilded, borne forward by a team of four snow-white horses,

glides up the street.

Carriage of the sundered house of Royce.

Seated in the back,

a grieving widow,

in years only of some 40-odd, and her gorgeous, gleaming green gown, bedecked with jewels, tears streaming down her face as she stares ahead, shattered.

She holds in her hand a wedding ring.

One she has not worn on her hand in many years,

but has never let stray beyond her person.

To her left, one of her oldest childhood friends.

Matt, would you please describe your character?

Yes.

You see a human man

just about to crest into his 30s.

Lanky, compact build.

sealed within a

reinforced leather military uniform of House De Vinos, the vassal house II, the centered house of Reus,

in dark purples and grey with red trim.

You see across the right shoulder an intricate silver metal pauldron and the other shoulder itself hidden within a dark green short cape with intricate designs of vine and flower kind of sewn through it.

Himself, a very stern, kind of stoic look as he just kind of stares into the opposite side of the carriage.

His long, heavily curly black hair kind of tumbling past his shoulders,

his other hand kind of resting on his knee while his sheathed rapier sits on his left hip as he just kind of rides in the carriage.

Staring forward,

Aranessa is falling apart beside you.

It's hard to

tell in this moment compared to someone openly grieving how Julian is doing.

We move back to the gallery,

viewing the execution.

Looking down,

you sit next to an empty seat.

You're not sure, sure, back in the carriage, whether Aranessa saw Theazi's final moments or not.

Her seat was empty beside you, though you knew that she was not far away.

So, with that amount of privacy,

what was Sir Julian De Vinos thinking as he watched the final moments of Theazi Fang?

He sits arms crossed in his chair,

looking down from his elevated,

noble box view of this execution.

His hair tumbled past one half of his face.

And the faintest little grin peeks at the corner of his mouth.

And that's all.

As the body dangles,

nobles around you you

rise.

You see

a hand slaps on your back

from

a noble of a

house that fought under, you think, the hale of ours.

It's an older gentleman who sort of slaps you, thinks maybe from the Maltaire or the Agerion family.

He just slaps you on the shoulder and goes,

They shouldn't let you do the honors, eh?

Yeah, unfortunately, such honors are not given to those who deserve it, my friend.

But uh...

Well, there is further glory to have regardless, yes?

Oh, for the hero of the Battle of Marlane Falls, the man who brought the Yassifeng

to heal.

You'd think that they'd let you.

It's an honor, Julian.

Jacques.

Jacques Maltaire.

It's a pleasure.

Jacques.

And he takes his hand and kind of holds it and just holds it steady as he he makes his eye contact directly.

It has been quite some time, and with time some things

are forgotten.

So while the honor is not mine, I appreciate you acknowledging such a

historied

walk of grace.

Having no idea what to make of this interaction, Jacques Monster says,

Good on you,

And walks as you

look

and

you see as you come out of reverie, you are approaching this place.

Aranessa has started to look out the window.

These homes are so lovely.

They are um

and he kind of just trails off for a second and gets lost, that's all I thought for a second before shaking free of it.

My lady, um, and he reaches into his cloak, pulls it back, and you can see as the cloak kind of gets turned aside, his left hand itself is

fully

kind of wrapped in an intricate metal gauntlet of dark silver itself, like deeply filigreed and multiple plates of it.

It almost looks unbalanced compared to the rest of his thin frame.

But as it kind of reveals it briefly, he peeks into his kind of inside of his

coat, his leather kind of tunic, and pulls forth a

nice little piece of white cloth and hands it over to the lady.

She wipes her eyes with it.

It was awful.

It was awful.

My lady, I do not mean to speak out of turn here.

I'm a bit taken aback.

You.

We are no strangers to the history of violence, and

Theazi,

whatever memories you cling to is not the man that you once loved.

He wouldn't be there if he was, yes?

I married a dashing hero

from the very end of the War of Axen Vine.

The adventurer rogue

a pixie by his side and magic in his eyes.

And two years later, he took up the banner of

rebellion.

And my grandfather.

My grandfather sided

with the Halovars and the Taconises.

Perhaps these things are faded.

Two points of light exist in constellation that the night sky grows between them.

What I can tell you is this.

When you knocked my husband off his horse and brought him to justice, and he was given clemency, Julian,

he told me to run away with him.

And I said no.

I've loved that man every year since of the long years we have been apart.

And when he died,

I hid.

Love doesn't go away so easily,

it stays,

Even if people

turn their back and walk away, they leave some part of themselves.

That's what loving someone is.

Be that as it may, he made his choice.

And he chose his pride over your love.

And he's paid for it now twice over.

and we are here

and we can mourn

as you feel is necessary

but we also live because we have been smart

and we will continue to live

I've got you

puts his hand on hers and holds it

I will also protect you

from your your own unnecessary emotional pain

if need be

people can really hurt themselves,

Julian,

trying to protect themselves from pain.

Mine is mine to feel, my friend.

And she squeezes your hand.

You see,

you arrive.

She looks and opens a small pocket mirror, seeing that she is,

you know, in grieving, partially disheveled herself, and said, Give me a moment in the carriage, if you would.

Of course.

Stepping forward, you enter the doorway.

This is a kindness.

I

don't know what to say.

I know your intentions are

in the right place, and

I am grateful.

Grateful for that.

I will, um

I will ask my family, um,

for more information, if that will

help settle this in any way.

Well, I'll tell you what, why don't we, for the time being, just let

sleeping dogs lie.

We can pick up the pieces in the

next couple of days, certainly.

You look over and see

Hal stepping up next to you

is Fiazi's old commander, Loza Blade,

who walks up and says,

The Aussie's sword.

A kindness for you to bring that, my lord Halevar.

It was nothing, really.

Uh

might I speak with you for a moment, if that's all right?

Oh, um, yes.

Uh pardon me, Helen.

Of course.

Of course.

And Bolaire, it's so great to see you again.

Uh

I'm so sorry, I do recognize you.

What was your name again?

Light Priest Wickander

Helivar.

We spoke at great length at a few of your different galas.

I've meet a lot of people, but it is a pleasure.

Hello.

Oh.

All right.

You're very handsome.

Thank you.

You see that the bore man goes, you are.

You are.

A bit young.

Okay.

All right.

He looks over and says, are you in the goat?

The goat.

Are you in the goat?

No, she's my aspirant.

She's my aspirant.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't know.

No, no, no.

Never mind.

Never mind.

She is not too...

I don't know.

Am I hearing?

Yes, you are.

She is not to.

I'm not choking on my drink right now.

She is not to taste of the flesh.

She's not to.

Yeah, but Ricochet.

I'm kind of hitting on you by the way.

No,

she is not to taste of the flesh.

She is pure ricochet.

Oh, man.

Ever bright.

This guy's worth a funeral, Roland.

Ever bright, ever right.

Ever right.

I can be so good for you.

I just memorized a hymn.

I just got put in my place in the basement.

It's flooded.

I pat you on the shoulder.

I just want to give you a little like druid craft bump if you need it.

Can I have that?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, please.

So brought up.

Bull guidance.

Is this sort of a religious thing?

You can't, or is this like actually an apparitional thing where you would just vanish in a puff of

stone?

Is that salt?

I'm here.

I'm real.

I'd throw up in your vase.

Yeah, but I mean, if you

copulate it, is that the word everything I'm going to feel like I'm going to use?

Hide your ears from this

disgusting talk.

I don't think it's

a good one.

Loza Blade looks over to you and says,

I just wished to speak with you if I could, because

are all funerals this fun?

No.

Pardon me, everyone.

I'll go over to Loza.

She looks over and just says,

My companion, Teor, and I have traveled here for Theazi's funeral,

and I'm retiring.

My family lives further into Kahad, near Dorunya.

But

I wished to speak because

with my retiring, my companion is a noble guardian and

has worked for many noble houses and causes throughout Pasatar and many realms.

I just wished to speak because I have not been in Dolnakyar in some time, but if you are looking for

security or a bodyguard of any kind, I know that

obviously the House of Hale of Ar is well equipped and manned, but he is loyal and shrewd and a

fine warrior.

You're talking about this Teor?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, my companion, the Nama, who.

Yes, I think I saw him earlier.

Well, I could speak to my uncle who does our security, or my father.

Well, he wouldn't.

Perhaps Perhaps my grandmother.

Do you know what?

I

could

make arrangements to hire such an individual myself.

Splendid.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He's the keys or guy.

Then, then,

I believe that

the estate of the Halo Vars, the Via Aurora, yes?

That's our estate in town, yes.

If I were to call on you there to inquire, not doing business here here at the ceremony but perhaps tomorrow or so or sometime i i it would be my honor to to uh to help you find a good place for your companion i'm i'm grateful my lord habelbar thank you thank you

uh

julian entering the home uh you see

yeah uh the jasmine i always liked lady are nasa

so as the carriage approached, all of that jasmine grew in and grew in lush, less flowers and more vines and that green, the seeing green of your, of her house.

But the moment you step out of the carriage, I bid every bit of greenery, every plant to wither around your feet as you approach this home.

No green for you.

I barely cross the threshold.

Like with Aaronessa taking a moment inside, I step barely in the door and then lean against it and just kind of observe the party as I wait for her.

A moment later, Aranessa emerges and extends her elbow.

I take it.

As you enter, she looks and goes...

How?

And

moves forward and very gingerly, you know, like

no one's coming up and bowing and curtsying.

She just goes forward and awkwardly extends her arms for an embrace.

Caught off guard

and

return

her hug.

She gives you a hug, and she looks and sees the body on the table.

Oh no.

I had hoped

against hope

maybe

you would have been able to

see here she makes eye contact with Wick

give me an insight check Sam okay

Insights.

This hain is like a tiny every

10 years.

Seven.

Um, on a seven,

um, uh, you see her eyes go over to you, and Hal, you give me an insight check as well here.

As her eyes go over to you, she says, My Lord Halovar,

pleasure to see you.

And condolences.

Um,

House Halovar extends our deepest sympathies to to all who loved Theazi.

Of course.

It is a kindness for the House of Halovar

to pay.

What a burden it must be to see justice served when you would wish for some other outcome.

We did, we certainly did.

We wished, not only wished, we worked towards some other outcome.

It was not.

Yes.

You want to insight check here?

How can you?

23.

Aranessa,

your

always technically legally sister-in-law, even though she and Theazi did not see each other for many, many years, is looking at young Wakander with a barely concealed rage.

Aranessa is way better than this.

She, and what'd you get?

22.

22.

Aranessa is barely holding on.

The level of vulgarity in how open she is being is a danger to her house

uh she just looks and goes uh you on a seven do not get that no she goes she looks at you and just goes it's uh oh yeah sorry bullying i want to gently just push the children back and get in front of them because this is a lot yeah um she just looks and says

i can imagine how hard you are working yesterday i arrived at the via aurora to speak uh with your mother and waited for some two or three hours.

I assume that there must have been some work.

Perhaps that was what garnered her time to that degree.

I'm in Tyranny's ear.

Guidance.

Get him out of here.

I'm certain that she was just

doing some of her charity works, perhaps, or

I throw up.

Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's ever right, ever right.

We have to leave.

I feel so bad.

I'm so sorry.

We gotta go.

I'm so sorry.

Apologies, Helen.

I'm so sorry.

I'm trying really hard to be good.

Apologies.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

She is not.

She's trying.

Oh, you see, all good comes up and gives you a tall thing of water and puts a little melting alchemical tablet in it.

Yeah, the yard grass will do that every time.

Oh, my God.

I love you so much.

He's all good.

We will.

We will worship to clear this out of your system.

We don't need any of that.

I think we should go.

Yes.

Yes,

I think we should go.

Aranus looks and says,

important charity works.

Well, it is as ever an honor to be

represented on the Chamber of the Lord's Advisory.

To think

how far we've come since the Shapers War that our houses are so aligned now.

It is lovely, isn't it?

And of course,

I keep calling you my Lord, but you are all priests now.

Yes, I'm a light priest.

Congratulations.

you can you can

i mean most people uh use uh your radiance with me but

julian steps forward a little bit puts his hand on uh lady ornest

my lady um

for a moment and have some rest uh you have not had a moment yet with the body rest no i'm fascinated at the a worship of i think the light yes

we're gonna go we're We're going to go.

We're going to go.

Not even

thank you.

And bid you all farewell.

And you guys.

You guys head out.

Okay.

Bye.

It was good to see you.

Do you know what?

I think I know him, too.

Should I say hi?

No, I think we should go.

Let me do a Henry.

You're Julian, right?

May the light guide your soul.

Wonderful day, Wiggins.

Maybe you should say hi before.

Take care.

Wherever you end up, forever, hopefully.

Excuse me.

Aaronessa grabs her arm so hard and goes, they worship the light.

Don't you understand?

It's a divinity

without the inconvenience of having a voice or perspective.

I have missed you so much, my lady.

And I give you a big bow and then a huge hug and lift her up.

She gives you a huge bow.

Or she gives you a huge hug in return.

Looks around and says,

I have not comported myself in a ladylike fashion.

You're fine.

We're mourning.

Hal, may we approach

your brother's body?

Please.

Please.

She walks up.

Now there is a veritable

trove.

You know, bracers and necklaces and candles and boxes.

You see that there are, around his legs, there are just piles and piles of these little wax paper, like street food snacks from Dolmakyar.

There's like

little sort of like fried, look,

you know, almost like

little doughy, sugary, fried things that are gathered around.

There are candied, like nuts and fruits and things like that, and all little candles burning everywhere.

She steps up,

looks at his face, and goes.

Oh, he's gone.

She leans down and kisses his cheek,

gives him a kiss on the lips.

A tear falls from her eye across his cheek.

He is gone.

Those of us who don't believe that you get

recycled into the light or whatever,

he is returned.

He's

he is a part of the story and the song of this world

changed us all

indeed.

A word,

sir,

if you will.

Takes Arnessa

by the hand.

I'll return shortly.

If you need anything, call out.

Yes, Julian, thank you.

I kneel down and turn to the children after all of this.

Now, I hope we all just learned that we have to be kind and forgive the idiocy of people at funerals and weddings.

Do we understand?

You see, Shadia says,

We do, Mr.

Bolaire.

Thank you so much for the kind lesson.

You see, Hero looks up at you and says, Why specifically funerals and weddings?

I don't know.

Honestly, because I suppose we have to pick two days to be forgiving instead of just being irritated at them all the time.

See, Hero goes, I can't tell if that's generous or stingy.

And you see that

I fucking love your place.

Julian and Tysha step away.

Aranessa looks at you and says,

I don't know what that Halovar prick told you,

but I'll tell you this.

I was kept waiting in the antechamber of the Via Aurora for the better part of a day.

How the doors to fairies shut.

I don't know how much longer my name will mean anything.

Every passing day, the Taconus the Alevar seems stronger,

and it seems like fewer messages arrive at the Golden Orchard.

I know, I don't know what the future means.

Maybe I should have run away with The Azi all those years ago.

I, um,

the hand down by my side, I clasp hers in friendship and squeeze it lightly.

The whole world's getting away from us.

The world is changing.

Speaking of the world changing,

someone who would know one or two things about that, I think, arrives at the funeral.

Marisha Ray, would you come in, please?

Hey!

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

I am so late.

Oh, the rain it is coming coming down harder than a horse's stream out there.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, oh,

oh.

Hi, how are you?

Oh, how are you?

I'm good, my good.

Oh, shit.

Elody's here, too.

Oh, my God.

Kids are in the corner.

How are you?

Yeah, I'm great.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, I brought a cranberry roll and a bottle of Yarn's grab.

You see, Olga looks over at you and says, oh, shit.

I brought a ton of cranberry rolls.

I brought like a whole six-pack of cranberry.

Well, it's the thought that counts.

Maria, please.

Got your character brush.

All right, you see walking in.

She's a little disheveled from the rain, which is not, you know, normally her position.

In fact, she just kind of does a little bit of wizard magic to get herself all back into her full shining glory.

You see a dwarf woman with kind of long auburn hair spilling out from under a flat brimmed cap like big long big hat and then you see that she's wearing this like coat, it's like long duster jacket that doesn't have sleeves.

Sleeves are bullshit.

And

it looks like she walked into a rich person's house and saw someone's rug and went, that looks nice, and then made a jacket out of it.

And then you see

she's very, she's not afraid of color.

And even though it is a funeral,

you know, she has to show off her proudest asset, which is

her big old rack.

And,

you know, as she likes to say, you know,

lanterns are lit.

So are the tits.

Let's go.

So

she loves a good party.

She loves a good funeral.

You know, there's just something about her, even though she's very put together.

Oh, and you can see she's got like a little bit of like a...

like a chin strap.

It is like

perfectly braided.

and her nails are dead they are shining and then you see on the tip of her of her index finger she's got what looks like a press-on but when you look a little bit closer it's um it's like the tip like of a of an ink pen it's like a scroll it's like a like a quill um

so yeah she's here and you know she looks very put together but also there's just something

about her that's a little grimy

a little greasy i'm thankful to be 6'4 that is a good angle hey girl hey yeah hey

murray arrives uh murray magnusson arrives as truly one of like for theazi's funeral this is one of the this is like theazzi's current crowd that he's been running with you arrive and look around murray and immediately you see off in a corner um you see a lot of the magical underbelly for a man who was just hanged for arcanism.

There are a lot of arcanists here.

Off in a corner, you see Tashmara Cobblegrave catch your eye with her one purely white pinprick pupil eye and then an eye of a normal sort of hazel sclera.

Looks over and goes, Murray, good to see you.

Good to see you.

Off in a corner, you see a tiny gnome with a kind of crooked top hat who's got a bunch of bracelets looking around.

Who looks over?

This is Uncle Emerald.

You see, he looks over and goes, and he goes, Hey, Murray!

Goodness gracious.

Happy funeral.

It's just so, so tragic.

And

she kind of starts digging into the cranberry rolls, and she kind of picks out of her teeth.

And as you see, you're kind of picking it out.

She's missing the front three, like right side of her teeth.

And if you look closer, they've been replaced with gemstones.

So she's got one that's a little ruby, one that's just like a kind of a clear white quartz, and then another that's like a like a purple quartz.

How she lost those teeth, who knows?

Walking over to you, a sort of sallow-faced man who you see is just sort of like leather vest,

tons of armpit hair pouring out.

But you see like the vest, like no shirt under the vest, but just sort of a tie, a sort of ruffle tie around like a bare neck.

This is Devrozi Gaunt.

Devrozi, you dressed up.

I did.

I know that we are mourning the loss of a dear compatriot.

I can see you put in the effort.

Do you still need those skulls?

You know, I think we can table that conversation.

Sorry.

Condolence.

You know where to find me.

Yeah.

We'll talk later.

Okay.

But I but I don't know where we're gonna

because he's gone, so I don't know where we're gonna find each other.

Um,

you know, I work at the Penteverl.

I'm allowed in.

No, I just meet.

You know what?

He just and I just upstairs.

Yeah, you know what?

Can we come upstairs?

Can we exchange the skulls upstairs?

I can tell you where to find me if that's.

Yeah, you know what?

Let's make a connect.

Okay, I'll be right back.

It feels weird to be networking at a funeral.

I know, but...

But I think it's smart.

Yeah.

He's dead.

Yes.

So we have to kind of...

No, we should.

We should.

It's what he would have wanted.

He would have wanted us to.

Look, this isn't my address.

This is an address for someplace else that you can find me at on like Thursdays.

Yeah, I'll be there non-stop until you show up.

Okay, yeah, I tend to like to go have a glass of wine.

This is

this is one of the dive bars that Faye

missed it.

Miss Magnesson, you grace our family with your presence.

Miss you, sweet, sweet thing.

How are you?

Are you alright?

I just come up and I do the little

dwarf down here.

I forget.

Sometimes.

5'11.

5'11.

5'11.

Short for a dwarf 5'11.

Can I get you anything?

Would you like a drink?

I brought some yard grass.

I know that it was his favorite.

It was.

I need to put this blade somewhere.

I'll be right back.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I have to kill this man first.

Well, you are probably already headed.

We'll say, as Murray has come in here blustering like a tornado and all this chaos has happened, Sir Julian has used this immediate opportunity to disengage from the tractor beam of

intention you had put upon him and has and has kind of pulled away from the rest and actually gone to have a moment with the corpse himself while everyone is kind of distracted, if I might.

Yeah.

What do you do as you approach the corpse of Theazi Fang?

A hand kind of rested on the

hilt of my rapier on the side.

I kind of stand there for a minute over

and kind of just glance left and right to see if anyone is paying any close attention to this corner holla's still there

so you have a whole ass deer staring you there's a there's a a a companion of the wild here

but of

mortal kind you are alone

I'm going to where is the deer currently situated by the corpse?

Deer's at the head and was giving funeral funeral rites.

Does it look like you're hesitating?

It looks like I'm just kind of looking down and

quietly taking in the surroundings.

Then I think Holla will blink,

stare at you, so you know that this is like connected to Taisha, and then turn and go find Hiro and is just going to go hang out with Hiro and leave you to this moment.

Looks down upon the...

the well-adorned and well-remembered and well-beloved body of Theazzi here in this warm hearth surrounded by the chattering voices of his family and his friends and all those whose lives he's touched.

I can hear the gentle occasional sobs and stutters of my dear friend Lady Aranessa

And then just quietly look down upon him.

The only shame is I couldn't want you to die twice.

And then I walk away.

Bolair, could you do me a favor and get our friend Murray a drink?

I'll be right back.

I'm just going to go deal with this.

I'm going to slip away real quick.

I've got this blade belonging to my brother and I'll return to my study upstairs pretty quickly and I will just stop in front of my desk and look at it

and look at the deed on the desk

and lay the blade across the deed, the deed

to

the area of land in this city that I worked for years to secure

and only came in reach of within the last few weeks.

And I rest

this sword,

what remains of my brother,

come crashing through

those years of work.

Everything I ever wanted,

slashed with heartbreak.

And I give myself ten seconds to stare at it and then return downstairs.

Hello, Murray.

It's lovely to see you.

I don't think I've seen you since that last party where that demon girl threw up in a vase.

It has been a while.

That was a romp, wasn't it?

It was such a good time.

When are you going to throw another one of those?

Oh, as soon as we can deal with some insurance issues, I've been assured that I can handle it again.

I wish that was the only thing she did.

She was quite a bit.

I didn't know you knew Theazi.

I think everybody knew Theazi.

I mean, look at this room.

It was some mixed company up in here.

Honestly, I didn't.

Look, what is with all these rich people?

Damn.

Those I know.

You see, as you say, what's up with all these rich people?

I think, Tysha, you're nearby with Aaronessa.

Aaronessa turns to look over at you and says, Hi, I'm a rich person.

Oh, so am I.

Ah, oh, well.

You see, you see, Aranessa cocks an eyebrow and goes like, goes like,

you the

compared.

Okay, okay.

Are we is this some ridiculous?

I pour you.

Drink this.

Great equalizer.

Are y'all having like a dick waving contest over your bank account?

Crude.

I'm just honestly accurate.

Sorry?

No, it's all right.

I have seen you

around

and I'm very sorry for your loss.

I was

Theazzi was a good friend of mine.

You see that she smiles and says,

that's wonderful.

I've never been

in

a home like one of these in Dolnakjar, where he was from.

This is where he...

How this is where he grew up, right?

This was your family's home?

I grew up here

in this neighborhood.

Gotcha.

Theazi lived with his father and mother, our father and his mother,

on the edge of this neighborhood.

Well, it's beautiful, and I'd love to, um,

I'd love to see.

Um,

as you take a shot of that, she goes, what is this delightful thing called?

Oh, yeah.

It's best for sipping.

No, she will.

He puts his hand out from open and goes,

Eranessa, are you sure?

Oh, there you are.

You want to go talk?

As you go.

He takes it from her.

I am now.

Oh, you take the shot and head out.

Just immediately pour Aranessa another shot because that was weird.

Matt, I would love for you to make a

wisdom saving throw for me.

Ooh, that is a solid six.

We're back, baby.

I would like

to see it.

I would like.

Didn't know the dice go high.

I would like

for Bolaire, Murray, Tysha, or Hal.

Anyone who wants to.

No one has, like, I think a detect magic up right now.

But give me either Arcana or

call it like Arcana or nature or religion.

Dealer's choice.

Go ahead and give me a roll.

DC20 gets you a vibe.

DC25 gets you pure information.

Can I give guidance to myself?

Yeah, yeah.

Not 20.

We're rolling hot tonight, baby.

There's a lot of RP going on, but these are some important roles.

Pretty good.

23 on Arcana.

23 on Arcana.

Hell yeah.

I have a plus 6.

That's a 13.

13.

Great.

Murray, I think on this Arcana check, you just notice as Tysha and Julian step outside,

there is a bit of.

You notice the cold iron nail kind of like

glow a little subtly orange for a second.

You know, that's for repelling demons and fairies.

Jepa, Bolair, on a gnat 20.

Religion and Arcana.

Religion.

That's your pick.

Your pick.

26, 26.

On a gnat 20.

I'll give you two out of three.

We'll make it fun, Taylor's choice.

The target,

the effect,

and the cause.

You can get two out of three.

I hate you.

Every fiber of my being.

I'll take the target and the cause.

The target and the cause.

The cause,

there is an orcish custom.

So all those candles,

all those candles, everything around Theazzi's body, the coins and everything, he is in a state of

this is part of the old path.

He's been adorned with treasures by his loved ones.

He is under a protection.

That protection has been...

Something has been done to cross it.

You don't have the effect,

but

something like a shadow follows Sir Julian De Venos

out of this home.

And you can see in a way that maybe maybe only Bolaire can, a shadow walking out the door after Julian.

Would anything like

I have

devil's sight wouldn't help with this.

I'm trying to think if I have anything

I can do to

on that nap 20, I think that you get a sense that like without, again, you don't know the effect, but it's

something small.

This is like the kind of magic that people tend to ignore.

A little bit of folklore, an old superstition, a saw, an old wives tale.

But you watch as something small and surreptitious

is born into existence and begins to walk behind Sir Julian.

And I think you know, with more time,

like there are things back at the museum that maybe would be worth consulting after what you just saw.

Um,

Julian and Tysha step outside together.

Tysha,

why are you here?

Because my friend is grieving.

Why are you here?

She is safe among friends.

Because I myself have a

storied history with Yazzie, and I felt it was important for me to close that chapter in person.

So you came here for one last glue.

Call it what you wish.

I call it

a desperate man's last bit of glory.

You have no idea what those words mean.

How's my son?

Your son is actually

quite an exemplary student.

Rising to be a fantastic soldier, picks up things quickly.

An incredible intellect, good intuition, and has gotten quite a bit far, both with small and long blades.

Has quite a future ahead of him.

because I have been his teacher

last bit of wisdom and patience left in me to keep him

by your side.

But this

you

here

with a little fish hook pulling at the corner of your lip, a grin

He leans against the wall like goes into a relaxed state.

His his stately, knightly appearance just kind of melts a bit.

He kind of leans against the wall.

Look,

we have many reasons to dislike each other.

Many.

You're a lying scoundrel, a rat who

betrayed his father and his family for a last hope of glory.

No.

I

watch it, finger.

We're not inside the house, are we?

So we're on even ground here.

If you want to start throwing these words away from me, you have to be willing to take it back.

Alright.

My family was thrown into the mud by my father, and I pulled us back up.

Your...

And he kind of gestures back towards the Azzi.

Your kin turned on all of those who helped lift him up.

And he needed to be taught a lesson.

And it just so happened that I was the one who had the courage to do so.

And I know that can be hard for you to muster into your stomach after all these years.

But with Sanitan,

and now we live.

And now we mourn.

So you can throw your words all you like.

It does not change history.

I don't hate you.

As much as you may hate me.

i'm not going to lie you know i hate him

i know you hate him and as much as i want to i don't hate you i pity you

because if it takes this level of betrayal

of your kin

to try to claw your way out of the bun and what good has it done The door to fairy is still closed.

And it's only the work of my people

that gives you a snowflake's chance in hell

of any real comeback.

So you're gonna watch your fucking tone with me.

And if one hair is hurt on my son's head, there will be nothing you or your lovely lady patron can do to stop me ripping you limb from fucking limb.

And I'll start with that pretty little glove of yours.

Do you understand me?

And at this,

I think you can

feel it.

Heat coming off like a shimmer off of the back of her.

And she is trying very hard not to wild shape right now.

You're both suddenly aware that

the temperature has dropped about 15 degrees in the last minute.

It is night and the clouds have vanished, and the silver light over the rookery

casts everything in a strange translucence.

I'm gonna need perception checks from both Tysha and Julian in this moment.

Cast guidance on him.

That's just a six.

Matt, stop touching my dice.

What do we got here?

That's the least I can do for that shit you just threw at me.

That's gonna...

Oh, 14.

Glorious 10.

I am fully right now believing that this is your doing.

I'm like.

We'll only be here a short time.

This isn't me.

The magpies aren't cawing.

Something

ancient

moves upon the face of this city.

A figure is walking up the street.

The lights are not on

in the other houses.

It walks alone,

approaching this home.

Ashley Johnson, you want to come out?

I bet it's super chill.

Yeah.

Somewhere.

Shop rocks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, I brought the night.

I brought the night.

I brought the night.

Hi.

Hi, Alan.

Hi.

Would you do me the favor of describing your character as she approaches the top of the hill?

Sure.

You see

an extremely tall woman.

5'11?

Dressed in sort of

deep obsidian, snug black leather

chest armor

and ropes and

pale white lacing that goes all the way up the top to the top of her throat.

She pulls down a black hood

and she wears

a veil of mourning that

looks to be chain mail that's draped over her elven ears.

And

the part of her face that we can see, you can see that there's gashes and scarring and burns.

It almost looks like a scar of arcane magic.

Wrapped around her waist a few times is a very, very long chain,

and she holds the end of it,

sort of laced between her fingers and dangling on the bottom of it, is a sensor

with some smoke coming out of it.

She walks up and sees the two of them.

As you approach,

covering on your face, you wear a veil of mourning.

An article of religious,

perhaps even ecclesiastical garb.

And though you approach a funeral, the veil of mourning is not for the deceased that lies within.

You behold a human warrior,

an orcish druid,

as you arrive at the top of the hill,

the censer in your hands.

You smell

funereal incense, the stink of liquor.

Last rites are being held within this place.

You have arrived exactly where you were told to expect the event you now see unfolding.

Do I recognize the, like, any...

Do you have like religious paraphernalia on you?

Not that you can see.

It is just she's just wearing pure black, minus her white lacing, and there's not really any

religious symbols on her whatsoever.

Are you here to mourn?

The azifang.

I walk straight inside.

You walk into the home, Hal, you turn and see an unfamiliar figure appear.

Good evening.

Hi.

Hello.

Guests of Theazi Fang's funeral.

I am Valis

of the sisters of Salandri,

the fallen goddess of life,

the Green Mother,

the shaper of the elves.

I would like an audience with the executor of this man's things.

I'm The Azifang's brother.

If that

is what you're looking for.

That man is a thief, and he stole something that belongs to me.

And I intend to get it back.

I don't mean any trouble here.

My apologies to everyone.

A brother?

A lover?

I just want what is mine.

All right, we don't need to make a

spectacle of my brother's passing.

What is it that you are

looking for?

That you think he has?

It is something that he stole from me.

If you can show me his things, I will find it and be on my way.

Perhaps you could just clarify.

He has a lot of things.

This funeral is awesome.

It's a stone.

Just a simple stone.

I'm sorry.

I haven't even seen my brother in person before today.

In a few weeks,

I don't know of any stone.

What kind of stone?

I take a seat

and cross my legs.

I can wait until you're ready.

Aranessa looks around and says,

My lady,

you have come here from

the Mourn Vale, I am presuming.

Yes.

I have traveled very far for weeks

to come here.

It is my

late husband that lies on that table.

My condolences.

Thank you.

Normally, I would take umbrage

at the word thief being bandied at my husband, but given that it seems to be used in a very literal context here, yes, he stole a great deal.

I do believe you haven't seen him in many years.

I think the man that's laying here is very different than what you thought of him.

I don't know if an elf like yourself has experienced enough loss to know that the way you are speaking is incredibly rude and will not be tolerated.

That's true.

I haven't experienced any loss in all of my years.

Well, other than your god.

70 years ago.

Anyway.

Well, I think the mood is pretty much sunk.

Do you want to tell us

a little more about this thing that you're after?

It is called the Stone of Nightsong.

Polair.

That name rings a bell.

Yes, it does.

Oh.

Someone I know.

Hello.

How are you?

Clearly not

well.

Phalis.

Give me an insight check with advantage if you'd be so kind.

Oh dear, okay.

Where's my stuff?

The realest vibe.

Okay.

You just opened every menu.

That's everybody.

Okay.

You said insight check?

Okay.

With advantage.

Wait, really?

Yeah.

Not with advantage.

You said advantage check.

With advantage, yeah.

Okay.

Hey, those are the real size dice.

Okay, great.

I know.

How many of you have to do that?

That's really good.

That's 18 plus 5.

23.

Yes, that's 23.

You look around and see

a dead mortal on the table.

This one died from hanging, but that was merely changing the date on a calendar that was always coming for him.

Nearby is Lady Aranessa muttering under her breath,

I've had just about enough people tell me that I don't know the man I married.

You look over, see Bolaire in a corner as you say the Stone of Night song.

Seventy years ago

Blink of an eye in your centuries of life.

You watched the last god of Araman

die

and have had to trudge for weeks through the stinking world they built in the wake of what they destroyed.

You see here in this place

family, criminals, nobles,

all threads of the same corrupted tapestry.

But there's one person you don't see.

One being

who you know knows what the Stone of Night song is.

Because she was there.

You wonder if any of these people are hiding her.

And on that 23, you know that they will know

of that person who traveled with Theazzi.

They cannot hide that, the cold iron nail above the door.

This is a place that knows fairies well.

I just slowly

start swinging my sensor and just looking around.

Is that Pal Santo?

Looks real nice.

A little bit.

A little bit of this and that.

You know, I actually agree with the lady Arnessa.

And I agree with you.

It's been some time since she's,

you know, knocked boots with the Aussie, as they say.

However,

some of us other low lives around here.

We might be able to help you.

But I would suggest

you cool whatever vibe this is

calm down

and maybe we can talk like dignified individuals when we're not in the presence of grieving loved ones.

Does that seem fair?

I'm sorry.

In all the time that I have been here, I have forgotten what grieving is like.

I will reattach my chain.

Please continue with the

festivities.

Would you like a drink?

Absolutely.

All right, let me get you a drop.

I'll get you a cranberry roll.

We'll break bread over these shitty fucking cranberry rolls, and then we'll be good, okay?

Great.

One moment.

I'm going to s walk over and sit next to you with a drink.

What the fuck are you doing here?

What do you think I'm doing here?

Making an ass of yourself and ruining anything you might hope to achieve.

You let me into the city, Bolair.

I deliver two drinks of Yargrass.

You're speaking louder than you think you are.

And I just sit next to them.

As you sit down, Tysha, you see...

Off in a corner, I completely forgot you mentioned it earlier, but when you were drunk, before you sobered yourself,

there is that silver box that you had mentioned before, the one that you had traveled with.

As you see, Bolaire sits next to this Elven Wanderer.

That is still yours here to have at this moment.

And Valis, looking around, you see a couple of like fairy protections here.

If you want to do any other checks to see, you remember who that companion was that traveled with Fiazzi to the Morn Vale.

However, for anyone else here in this moment, you see, you know, Shadia looks over at this elven traveler and goes, Dad, is everything okay?

Are we safe here?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Halandu, I'm...

I'm sorry.

I was freaking out.

Can't you just come with me?

I need to cool off for a second.

And I want to drag you upstairs so I can go, like, dig the silver box out of my effects.

Okay.

I look to Shadia and to Hero.

Girls, could you just clear the dessert table?

Maybe take stuff in the back.

Oh, yeah, Dad, you got it.

We'll come find you and a few, all right?

And Hala is trailing them, so we've got just a little backup.

There's also lots of armed

warriors here.

Yeah.

You see.

You see, and uh, yeah,

you see down there some of the old torn banner.

See, there again is this

tunk who is the

boar man,

looks at and goes over and goes.

How big was this stone?

If I see it, I'll

write a report.

It's small.

Yeah.

Ah, small.

All right.

I'll look out for a small rock.

Would this ring any bells to Murray?

Give me an Arcana check.

Arctino, give me religion.

I assume I know, but I'm happy to put another.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's go, Murray.

That's a 25.

25.

12.

The Stone of Night.

Is this religion or

religion?

The Stone of Night song

was an artifact written by,

sorry, was an artifact created

by a celestial,

which was basically a

celestial servant of Salandri, the shaper of the elves, the goddess of life in the woodland.

To her children, the elves, did she alone grant immortality, that they would not die of age or infirm, that they would live lest accident or injury befell them.

But for those elves that it did befall,

she crafted a stone that their spirits would be brought to peace beyond in the garden of the spirit, kept for her.

But in traveling, there was a realm that they must pass.

This being the realm of.

Hold on one second.

Lore, Lore.

Lore, Lore.

Lore, Lore, Lore, Lore, Lore.

That passing through the tenebril reaches, that there would be a brief night before bright dawn.

That brief night, you know, is not very brief, that is, the underworld, the realm of the dead.

The Stone of Night song existed, that elves and their immortal spirits need not even touch those ghastly realms, but would be ferried by a spirit of song and night swiftly through the darkness to bright dawn.

The goddess of life so loved her her elven children that even

in catastrophe, the destruction of their bodies, would their immortal souls never have to know hardship or pain.

The stone of night song,

you believe,

was created after the original guardian spirit, that immortal nightingale, a celestial that took the wings of nightingale, sort of like a night angel.

Which is why it has the bird.

The stone was created after that celestial's destruction in the shaper was form.

So, I'm just gonna kind of look at Bolaire as I see

the brain.

Okay.

So, other than reminding me that no good deed goes unpunished, what would it take to get you to leave these people alone?

They don't have what you're looking for, clearly.

How do you know that?

Because I know them.

And they wouldn't be this contained if they did.

At best, if they do have it, they don't know what it is.

They wouldn't be able to find it for you.

Do you know where the little one is?

Which

one?

Oh my god.

Where is Thimble?

Thimble.

Thimble.

As you say, Thimble's name.

upstairs, Hal and Tysha, the silver box flies open.

On the desk,

shattered, ceramic,

black clay

hidden in the box begins to

move together

into the shape

of a mask

much like the one downstairs on Bolaire's face.

This was the last thing the

LT asked me to get it.

I

don't know what it is.

Can I make an Arcana check?

You wanna make an Arcana check?

Yeah.

No, I don't like this.

across the inner workings of the box, black velvet and black clay coming together swiftly because you spoke the name of a little fairy.
