5, 4, 3, 2...
We didn't take the round.
We have to take the round now.
Should we do the whole thing one more time, or should we...
They have used the ghost to read our intro.
Yes.
Or maybe we should do it one more time.
Maybe we should do it one more time.
5, 4, 3, 2...
Hi, and welcome to tonight's episode of Uncharted.
Today we have Ick-Nerd-the-Screw-Player.
No, this is not a screw-player, I should say.
We play Dungeons & Dragons.
We play Dungeons & Dragons.
My name is Erlend, and you are Dungeon Master.
And with me today we have...
Mari, who plays Alexander.
Mari, who plays Aponi.
Mari, who plays Sally.
Mari, who plays Ant.
And Mari, who plays Ick.
I'm very happy that Mari is here.
We have a guest in the form of Mari.
Say hi, Mari.
Hi, Mari.
I'm Mari, and I play Agatha.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Are you cutting it out?
Probably not.
You were Mari.
I forgot to say I was Mari.
Should we do it again?
No, we shouldn't.
Before we start the search,
we have some gifts,
starting with our first sponsor.
What?
Soren Mineral Museum.
Put that in there.
Shall we read it out loud?
SS1, Soren Mineral Museum.
Are you interested in minerals?
What about the history of Soren's Way,
which is the center of eastern mineral activity?
Well, in that case, come to Soren Mineral Museum
which you will soon forget.
Here you can learn about the first operated caves,
how the workers lived,
and what methods they used to find the valuable minerals
and precious stones that lie hidden in the walls of the Grafjellet Mountains.
With their Casserex exhibition,
you can experience the magic of this stone.
Learn about its beginning research
and quick ways of Kalindra's most valuable export.
New to the day are guided tours
into Soren's closest cave.
Take a little stroll from the outskirts of the city,
see the veins on Klosshål,
experience the sweat of the cave workers
with cool air,
and make your own effort to dig out a treasure.
Such an experience you will soon forget,
and even later,
regret that you took part in it.
So come to Soren Mineral Museum
for all your mineral interests.
Guided tours require the promotion of health insurance.
Soren Mineral Museum does not take responsibility
for the
I've worked hard to get sponsors in the middle of the night.
Are you going to the police station?
It's impossible if you don't know who you are.
I've never been there before.
With that, tonight's show is over.
So let's jump into tonight's episode of...
Uncharted Tales.
Uncharted Tales, Session 4, Touchy Subjects.
Yes.
Is there anyone who wants to take a recap of the previous session?
Tum?
No.
We were in a...
Tum?
Of clays?
Yes, but first we were attacked by birds.
Yes.
Chattels.
Chattels.
Chattels.
Bird detergent.
That's what I've been looking for.
We will be going to the Tum of Clays, where we will be going through a bunch of challenges.
One more moral challenge.
Should one give up what one has already given up?
Should one give up what one has already given up?
Should one give up what one has already given up?
You have to give up what you want the most just because someone else wants it, and then you deserve it.
A strong challenge. It worked out fine with her.
And a mental challenge that almost broke us apart.
The players, not the characters, but also the characters.
Where we had to get rid of push-game bricks from some birds, and then push them together.
Some demons would just give us a regular push-game.
Other demons would try to fuck with us and give us one extra brick.
We don't mention the name, we have to be careful.
Mari.
They're right.
Name drop.
But as I wrote, we got pushed together and opened the way to the grave to Claes.
I also remember that we had to open some doors to these challenges.
It's possible that we didn't really have to do it with lockpicking tools.
We could just push the buttons, but we didn't understand that.
Inside where Claes is buried, we find some scrolls, we find some potions,
and we also find, not a key, but a small Pegasi statue.
As we assume, Claes' keys to the heavens.
And that's right, we went out of this tomb.
What's it called in Norwegian?
Grave chamber.
Grave chamber, thanks.
And we quickly discussed what we wanted to do next,
without coming to any bigger conclusions than we wanted to give to the soul.
Good luck.
Thank you for the inspiration.
I haven't used my inspiration today as a human.
Can you please have my inspiration?
Inspiration, please.
Inspiration drop.
Which door do you own?
Is it still on the table?
I don't know, it's still there.
Who wants to go?
What day are we on?
Today is...
In Norwegian.
And...
Are we on the 3rd or the 4th?
No calendar created, it says on this piece.
That's very nice.
It's the 7th in the 7th.
Yes, but I was thinking, like, from...
We met, that was the day before.
Yes, you met, you've been together for three days.
So we're on day three?
Yes.
Okay.
I don't have any control on...
It's a bit like a day.
It's a day.
Three nights, is it?
Or two nights?
I think it was two nights on the inside, and then we had one overnight in the forest.
And then it's possible we have one more night before we reach the sun.
Then we have to have one more night.
Yes.
Or less.
Yes.
Let's go.
We just have to go a bit faster.
We have to go a lot faster.
Yes, because we just talked, right?
Yes.
It's early afternoon.
And you're on your way back down from the mountains.
After a successful, I would say, trip to Grafthammeret in Kleis.
Are you just going to keep going for the night and take a break when it's time to get up?
No, I've picked up something.
I feel like we're pushing ourselves.
It hasn't been that long today.
So you can keep going until nine in the evening.
And how far down is it again?
Then it will be about six hours to the next day.
So it's a 12-hour walk.
We had a couple of hours in Grafthammeret, so it makes sense.
I'm not going to have an hour to push myself with Luna.
Daytime reading.
Well, I'm getting hungry again.
Should we just set up camp and call it a day?
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah.
Any good spots here?
Should we just camp by the road?
The road is fine.
Well, at least we're prepared for any shadows again, I guess.
Yeah.
We know at least how they look and what to do.
They look shadowy.
Sleep with us.
Do you think that means something else?
No.
They sleep and we sleep, so they sleep with us.
Sure. Sure. Yeah.
Well, maybe we shouldn't camp on the road.
We should camp to the side of the road, right?
Yes.
Just off the road is fine.
Okay.
Is there anything that gives you the opinion that we should set up camp now?
It would be nice if you could just drive down to Grafthammeret.
If you don't have a car, you can just drive on flat ground next to it.
If you want to go back to where you saw the night before,
it's only about two hours from the room.
And since you've already walked and talked for a while,
it's not very long left to get back to that tiny little forest in front of you.
But we didn't want to...
No, it didn't go very well.
So let's try to sleep on the road.
How about we sleep just in the middle of the road?
Like a roadblock.
No.
It's like a bad idea, you know, it's dark,
so if somebody comes on a horse or something in a speed...
Then we can hike with them.
Or be trampled to death, you know?
Yeah, they will be angry.
I think off the road is to the side.
We can set up the tent there.
Sure.
Cool, I'll start making a fire.
Anybody has some kindling?
We can gather some tree branches, right?
Alright.
We can gather our twigs and small trees,
which will be planted into a bonfire.
A bonfire, as opposed to...
No, no.
A bonfire?
In 20 years, we'll be able to...
To a bonfire.
And I guess you were very good with the wood shopping.
You just would chop a bit again, or just demolish a tree?
I can find a tree.
That is Minecraft-like.
Overdrive-engaged.
Ding.
Yes.
You're eating your food, and...
Is it break food, or dinner?
Dinner.
Dinner and then move on?
No.
Because there's still a lot of time you can spare.
If the time is 9 o'clock?
If you go all the way to 9 o'clock first?
Yeah, we went crazy and waited.
We didn't want to be at the same place anyway.
I was thinking of talking and talking on the way.
My plan was just to play when we said that we were done for the day.
The evening is coming to an end. Is there anything you'd like to say?
Yes.
How should we split the watch tonight?
I can get the pillows set up like this,
so I hardly need some visorations for battle weapons.
I can take the first one now, or I can take the last one.
Make breakfast again.
I mean, if you wouldn't mind...
No, that's not a problem.
Because, yeah, you made great breakfast.
Thank you.
I just want two consecutive shifts.
You want two consecutive shifts? Why?
Because I don't need sleep as much as you do.
It's enough.
Yes, something about else and sleep, yeah.
Sure.
Would you like to do first ones or do last ones?
First ones are fine.
Okay.
Do we have enough for double shifts so we don't have to?
I can take some. I do not require as much sleep.
I don't require sleep.
And Lysander, and then...
That might just be very practical.
What do you do during the night?
Stand around.
Do you want a book or something?
You have one?
Yeah.
I can have a book.
I'll take out a book from my backpack.
Do you read books?
Smet.
Absolutely.
Do you have any easy-to-read books?
No, I don't have Smet. I have...
No, but books you buy in Kiosk.
Yes, Kiosk Romani.
Kiosk Romani?
Yes.
Or something about...
Ulfred's secret.
Alfred's secret.
Is it in French?
No, it's not.
It's in French.
Okay.
I will...
There's a picture of a horse on the table.
Yeah.
I will read.
At some point.
Okay, I can take the last one with you.
And I'll have the...
Yeah, the third one, I guess.
We can...
Ulf will take...
So it's...
We'll take double watch.
With the same thing.
You'll also take double watch?
We can spread it out.
Lysander will take one watch.
Then we'll split it, and then we'll split it.
So...
We'll start the day with a band.
Yes.
Then you, Lysander, can give me a perception check for tonight.
Tonight.
While the others lie down in their tents.
Or on the floor.
Or on the floor.
Four.
Four.
I have a feeling on the third one.
You...
You find yourself looking down at the torchbugs that are flying a bit.
They're swirling around in the air.
And you get a bit distracted by that.
But it doesn't seem like there's something going on.
It's just the fine insects that are flying around.
After about two hours, the band wakes up.
To activate the scent again.
And...
There it is.
Good day.
Good night.
Good night, yes.
Good.
Good.
Yes.
Oh my god.
I'll ask you.
I am fine.
I think.
And you?
I am...
It's functioning optimally.
Great.
Then we can look into the night.
For things.
Yes.
Yes.
Some time.
The best of all time.
The biggest, most shiny, at least.
In what you see in the night, you can give me your perception checks.
Teater checks.
Wow.
That's going to be good.
Ten.
Eight.
I'm trying to read a book.
You found it surprisingly exciting.
No, it's more like...
What is...
...a horse?
Do you know the thing with the four legs that people sit on?
Yes.
Yes, with the large head.
Yes.
And then like a bushy thing on the back.
Okay.
Yes, that's a horse.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
See the end setting there.
This goes slowly.
It's a time where you get blown up and put it on the map.
Let's see if it's easier to read.
Your watch is over, and G and Ike take over.
With their own perception checks.
No, Tina and Ike.
Yes, I take...
I agree.
Yes.
Because it will be two hours per watch.
Yes.
And I have four...
Both me and Alexander have four hours.
Okay.
I hate the night shifts when you have to like wake up in the middle.
It's okay.
How's it been going out here?
It has been very quiet.
And I do not always understand the book.
Oh yeah, how far you gotten?
On page five.
Well, that's the start.
There's a lot of horses.
From the cover, I would assume so, yeah.
I wanted to...
I love you too.
Yeah.
Have you noticed that everyone is asking questions about me?
And other people have shared, except for Salih.
Yeah, kind of noticed, yeah.
Yes.
They probably just need a bit more time to open up a bit more.
You know, like we talked, they're very like skeptical in nature.
Which, you know, probably have the reasons to be that.
So I think we just need to respect that and give her the space to open up a bit.
But also I get what you mean.
It doesn't feel as safe as other people open up.
She is also a drop out.
And she was at the university studying business.
But she shoots like she knows how to kill.
Yeah, I get what you mean.
Though you have the magic and I have given you know some sort of lessons from me.
But, Salih, unless she studied how to kill people in business.
I really don't think so.
Like I said, she probably has her reasons to why she's so skeptical.
And those might be some of the reasons, you know.
But I conceive her as a threat.
Understandable, I think you should be a bit wary until, you know, we know we're safe.
I think that's just in general, you know.
All of them really.
I mean, the others seem safe, but we don't even know about them, you know.
If they're actually safe to be with.
So I think we just need to, you know, tread carefully.
But I think also, you know, we actually managed to get the key or whatever this thing is.
Have you figured it out yet?
No, I'm going to try and see if I can.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
But just be careful around Salih.
He hasn't left my belonging, so it's not going to.
Oh, I mean.
Oh, yeah, I know.
But, you know, even...
She knows the weak spots in people.
Yeah, you're probably right.
See the sex.
What is stable?
What is a stable hand?
I know this.
I'm also going to spend a lot of time with it.
I don't know if you really know what a tombstone is, but if there's something that I require,
I think I'm going to spend a lot of time with it.
Maybe it's something.
Question mark.
Is there anything you can roll in Arcana and check for?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Question mark.
Is there anything you can roll in Arcana and check for?
What you're sitting and trying to find out what's going on.
Yay!
You don't have much to do with magic, actually.
And it seems like it's a quarter of a statue, in terms of what it is.
You feel in a way that...
If it's something like that, then maybe you notice it,
whether it's because you got it and the whole environment around it,
or if there's actually something in it that your powers pick up,
it's hard to say.
But at least there's nothing you manage to get around.
Fair enough.
You hold watch?
Yeah.
And you can roll a ticker check for yourself.
20.
20.
Ah, that's a 14.
Everything goes smoothly, and next up is the dream team.
Breakfast party.
Breakfast party.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're up.
I have some tea for you.
I should have put it on coffee when I think about it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
Okay.
Well, that's creepy.
You'll get used to it.
Was there something?
I know, I just saw a bug.
An ant?
Yes.
Where?
A fake one.
Okay.
Roll a perception check in the dark.
Yes!
Oh, yes, that's good.
It's a six.
Six.
It's hard to see in the dark.
But what you don't see is a tiny child, as they say.
Watch, watch.
We don't need to start with breakfast.
It's probably going to interrupt everything.
Well, regardless of whether or not I can hear it.
Doesn't matter.
I was going to ask you.
Do you still want to stick around, these people?
Maybe this was kind of fun.
It was fun.
I guess it was fun.
Because do you know when we need to go after this?
We can't stay in Soren all...
I feel like we've finished a bit with Soren.
We've been to the library.
We've been to the mines.
We've been to the museum.
I'm kind of curious about Isander.
I want to see what the key is.
That would be kind of cool.
All right.
So...
Can't stick with them.
Just...
I mean, we don't have to.
If we...
If they want to do something different every day...
Different than we...
Yeah.
Then we will just leave and it's fine.
And also, you realize they will...
They may bring some trouble with them.
Do you think so?
Obviously.
Isander has told us that some cloaked people came to his home tower.
Well, they were...
They were...
Well, they were probably after whatever his family was doing.
Yeah, they might be after him as well.
We don't know that.
He doesn't know that.
I don't think.
An ant?
Obviously.
Someone is after ants.
The ant is...
Like, the Kasserik's Academy.
And I've seen him in the library.
He's in his bedroom.
Yeah.
It's going to be a bit...
So...
And that's all right.
We just need to be prepared and be aware of that.
And also be ready to, you know...
Go around the way if it gets too hot.
Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
You don't have a plan?
Do I look like I have a plan?
I think you either of us do.
Yeah, that's the issue.
But it could...
I mean, I'm guessing...
I need to talk to some cleric.
Learn some more magic.
That's something you're interested in.
Definitely.
I basically just want to stay out of the demer.
We're already doing that.
It's going great.
And I want to earn some money.
We're doing that.
It's going great.
How long do you need to stay away from the demer?
And is it just in demer?
Or...
Probably just in demer.
Because we left kind of quickly.
Yeah, I think we're talking years, decades.
That much?
Well, I mean, it depends.
If I can sort it out somehow in between, then it's fine.
How can...
Do you have an idea how to sort it out?
Yeah, my idea involves getting a lot of money.
Oh, dear.
A lot of money.
But I think in the meantime, the easier thing is just to go anywhere else.
And luckily for us, there's a lot of places to go.
And demer is just one place.
It's only one place.
It's just one place.
Right.
Yeah.
As long as it's just in demer.
Yeah, it's just in demer.
It's just in demer.
All right.
That's good.
Maybe we'll make some coffee.
We should make some coffee and we can start making the food.
So, three times with food.
We also have...
We drank the wine, but we have a bottle with something stronger.
Sally, why don't you start with a small Irish...
I'm not getting that with you.
Nothing happens during the night.
And the morning comes.
The sun rises on the east side.
Over the mountains.
So...
There's a rock in the way.
A rock.
Rocks fall.
Everyone dies.
At least all of you die.
I think we should go upstairs.
You've all woken up.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Coffee?
Yeah, please.
With...
Here you go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
I mean, I've been there sometimes, but you know.
What's that supposed to mean?
Yeah, I'm not gonna go there because I feel that's gonna be...
Mean, and I didn't mean it to be mean.
I'm very sorry.
Do I smell bacon?
Just come here.
Lisandra, wake up!
What?
Snake lines.
What's happening?
Food.
I see.
I'm eating breakfast.
I'm packing.
Are you getting ready?
Did you look at your pegasus thing?
Yeah, I can't really figure...
I don't know how to figure stuff out about it on my own.
Do you know any way to identify it or something?
Let me have a look at my book.
I will see if I know something.
Maybe a bit difficult.
But I can certainly have a look at it.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
I'm going to study the pegasus now.
Okay.
Come on.
Can you give me an alkanosheck?
Alkanosheck.
No.
It's going to be fine.
I think it's terribly bad today.
Historically, it's not something that wakes you up.
And it also seems to be a...
You definitely pick up that there's something here.
But...
It's almost as if it's dead.
That it hasn't been used for so long that the magic is a bit more hidden than it would otherwise be.
And you struggle to figure out its nature.
Unfortunately.
This was very difficult.
I don't know.
But I can sort of sense some kind of magic in it.
But I don't know what it is because it's been dormant for so long.
Oh, that makes sense.
I think...
Yeah.
I think we should just find someone to ask, I guess.
I don't know how to...
We robbed the grave.
Can you help us find out what...
We didn't...
It wasn't robbed.
We solved the puzzle.
Yeah, I guess.
And the people who solve the puzzle get the treasure in the dungeon, right?
That's how it works.
The dungeon...
We were in the temple.
Okay, the temple.
Okay, the temple.
But didn't it say you deserve this kind of...
Exactly.
We didn't steal it.
It was...
That was the reward for solving the puzzle.
Right?
Okay.
Yeah, I guess.
I'm with that plan.
We can ask the library.
I see a bad idea.
If you do, try to use a very, very general hypothetical.
Yeah.
Or just say that this is...
You can say that this is an heirloom.
You don't know what it is,
but you'd like to find out if you think there's something magical about it.
You don't have to say that it came from the temple.
It's good.
You're a follower of Claes.
Did he have followers?
Well, now he has.
Fanboys.
Oh, you could be like a collector.
So you...
A clayboy.
Clayboy.
So you could be like a collector, and then you...
But you don't even have to say that it's Claes, right?
You just want to know what kind of magic is in it.
Yeah.
I'm brainwashed at the same time.
What does it look like?
Out.
It's a...
Pegasus.
It's a horse in half a scale,
with wings spread out.
And it has a length of one and a half horses in its wingspan.
What is it made of?
It's made of quartz.
Quartz.
Okay.
Quartz, Claes.
Keese.
What does it mean?
In English.
Well, there's probably someone in Soren who can identify it or something.
Is there any other famous, great temple
that we could go to and talk to someone?
Not that I know of, but you know...
We can go to the museum.
Which one?
Is there like...
It's such a difficult word...
It's such a difficult word to pronounce in common.
Well, we've been there and it is nice, but it's mostly just rocks.
But isn't this a rock?
It's quartz.
Is there like maybe someone who deals in magical items in Sorin?
We should go to...
Because they probably have a bit more...
Is there something we saw while we've been in the city?
You've been there.
Is there anything...
The easiest would be to go to the Angry Chest.
The Angry...
Angry Chest.
Museum of Grace.
Well, we could go to the Angry Chest.
They...
A general store with knick-knacks, but also some magical items.
They sell some magical items, so maybe somebody there knows a bit more than we do.
Yeah, I mean, they would probably be in it from a money standpoint,
so they wouldn't ask us many questions, I guess.
Hopefully.
Yeah, maybe go there first.
And then we could talk with, like, Sabrina?
Yeah, she might even know...
Or would she?
I don't know.
No?
I guess that would depend if it falls within her field of expertise.
Like, is this a religious item or is this like some kind of magic thing?
Yeah, that's...
Good question.
Do you have to be a khan or a religion?
More of a question that I can't answer.
Okay, pack up camp and start moving.
I'm late.
Well, Sabrina followed the Dawnfather, but Kleys is the Storm Lord,
so maybe it makes sense to find the biggest temple to the Storm Lord.
Just go there and...
I just feel like they might want to reclaim it, you know?
That's why we don't go in with the item.
You have a drawing? You can make a drawing.
Just, you know, ask for information about the item?
Ask about information, talk about, oh, I'm very interested in this grave,
or Kleys was a super cool dude.
How did he open the heavens with this key?
I've always wondered.
And then just don't mention a lot of things.
Purely academic goals.
Writing a thesis on Kleys.
Something like that.
I don't think I come up as, you know, a student.
That can be fixed.
He can be from the university?
No, we'll just have ANT do it.
I can ask.
You're from the university?
They're available.
They're eager to help.
You study horses, right?
I now know what a stable is.
And a stable hand is not the hand of the stable.
It is a person.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's right.
I had to ask.
Did you like the horses?
The horses were nice.
I do not like the people.
You know horses also...
No, don't ruin it.
Don't ruin it, okay?
No, no.
In any case...
They're very, very cute.
Where do they even have, like, this temple to the Storm Lord?
In the storm?
We're rolling for you.
You can do it.
Do we know enough about the world we live in?
Where can we roll?
You can give me religion checks.
Or if...
Oh, do I have...
Something.
You can...
You can actually roll one, too.
18.
18?
Damn.
Oh, but...
I have proficiency in religion, and that's because Sally, quite recently, has read a lot about the gods.
Really?
Yes.
Which gods?
And Apolline got...
Night 1.
Night 1.
Okay.
So you know the opposite of that...
So I have 19.
I don't know.
19.
Yes.
I see.
So you both want to know.
You, because you were in the area.
And you, because you have read about it.
That...
The Storm Lord.
Since it's related to storms and such.
Often it will have several followers in places where there are prone to storms.
And...
In the rainforest to Ershana.
South of Ershana.
There was a temple to the Storm Lord.
From what you read, it's unclear if it's in action or not.
But you remember and have read that there was one there.
And you didn't pass by outside, but were in the area.
So you would have picked up some news that there was a temple in the rainforest.
The rainforest.
Yes.
How far down is it from...
The other side.
Five, six weeks.
Ten feet.
The other side of the continent.
And then there are some mountains in the middle.
There are small temples to different gods here and there.
But it seems like that was a...
Size.
That was a...
Size.
A bit like the answers that the temple says.
Which was in Endymir.
The main temple to the Platinum Dragon.
Yeah, so if we go to Ershana, we should probably have an airship.
It would be kind of cool to go to Ershana.
Well, it's far away from Endymir.
An airship?
Yeah.
That would be difficult to take from here.
So there is something that goes around there.
But not so much through to Foots there, or to the water around.
So it would perhaps be possible to take an airship closer and then go further?
Yes.
An airship closer, if you come to a harbor.
And take a harbor to the nearest port city.
Oh, that's quite a journey.
We don't even know.
Yeah.
If there's anyone there.
Well, maybe asking Lady Sabrina, at least in the first round, is a good idea.
We can maybe look in the books in the library.
Now that we have a picture and the name of the animal, that's something we can do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was more looking to ask.
Just in general, maybe Lady Sabrina has some insights for what happens once you die.
Where your souls go.
Different places do you end up.
Do you end up somewhere?
In the catharics.
I don't think I would end up in the catharics.
You know, it seems like, from what you talked about, more like a religious thing, almost.
Which you had to prepare for, but I don't know.
It just seemed like...
What did you use those 80 years for?
Don't talk about people.
Well, it could be that she found it in the catharics, I don't know.
I mean, kind of like, say it's impossible, but I don't know.
Good feeling says I hardly doubt it.
Talking to a cleric, for you, would probably be a good idea anyways.
I mean, they would have information, the kind of magic that you're looking for, right?
Yeah, nice.
Good point.
She could at least point me in the right direction for...
Starting to figure out what to do with this whole thing.
Yeah.
Okay, so Lady Sabrina and the Angry Chest.
I mean, yeah.
That's the only store in the city that sells magical items, so...
If someone is capable of identifying things, it's probably there.
But also, since the Temple of Clay's was very close to the city,
I would assume someone here would know something.
Like, it's a day away, walking.
Instead of, I don't know, weeks away to the other place,
it would make sense that this place has some sort of meaning to Clay.
Maybe Lady Sabrina would know about this.
What is a good point is to the right person.
Because I would assume if Clay's were buried somewhere else,
that would also be of importance, but he's buried here.
That has to mean something.
Like, it wouldn't make sense that, oh, he died here, so we just bury him here.
And then there's no...
So there's no reason for him to be buried here?
No.
Well, it could have been this place...
The only thing that mattered was the mountain.
And the mountain tower, a bit like that.
But at the same time, the connection wasn't that high.
Is it starting to work?
It's starting to work.
Out of the hills and into the plains.
Down towards Zoran, where you go.
And closer you get.
And within half a day's march, you cross into the Rock District.
On the east side of Zoran.
Stone.
You go straight to...
Lady Sabrina first?
Yes, that's...
I want to go to the library.
Should we split up? I don't feel like...
I can go to the library. I know how it works.
Kind of... Not to be rude, but I think I would like to talk to Lady Sabrina alone.
That's okay?
That's fine.
Yes.
I can go to the library with you.
Yes.
We can do that.
Meet up at...
Where are we staying at again?
Stone Throw.
Oh yeah. Meet up there later?
Yes.
Sure.
Cool.
Okay.
You split up.
The party.
That's interesting.
And...
We split up.
Ike will go first, and the rest will go to the library.
The library?
Yes.
Lady Sabrina.
Who goes first?
We'll start with Lady Sabrina.
You go...
Yes.
Into the main district of Zoran.
The big open quarter. Pretty close to Stone Throw, actually.
And then into...
The Sun House.
Okay.
Lady Sabrina, are you here?
The door is unlocked.
And it's smooth.
So it's just the three of us.
I often knock on the door just to make a sound.
You...
The door is a bit open.
And you see Sabrina coming and going from the other side of the room in there.
Hello.
Yes.
How are you?
Do you need anything?
How's your wound?
It's been fine these last days, I think.
It's good to hear.
I haven't really noticed it anymore.
So...
Actually came by for something else.
Do you have a few minutes to talk?
Yes, of course.
The Sun House is always open.
We have a few miners now as well.
Wounds have started to even out a bit, so we can...
That's good.
Sit more.
Are we coming back to normal again?
Mostly.
Okay.
Motor functions are back.
Bit stiffness.
Mostly healing.
Okay.
I don't even know how to...
Start a conversation.
I guess I'm mostly...
Okay.
Weird.
I don't know where the...
Curious about you know the afterlife. Mm-hmm
Like
Where does one go once you
Die, you know
Or where would your soul go? I guess
That's a very deep question
Yeah
Mmm
Well, the matter of fact is it kind of depends I would say
most believers find themselves
from what little we know going to
The home of their God
so for me payload that would be the
the great orchard in which he resides outside of this plane and
You know, I also grew up with the Don fighter mostly
Step where do you think I'd end up as well?
Would you consider yourself?
Faithful believer of his words and or do you feel that you're
Maybe drifting with
His knowledge as the main baseline but more I
Think the second one is probably more correct, but it's not like
Still find comfort in and hello, you know
She guesses from growing up with it, you know, I haven't left his life so to say
But
Probably not as devout as it was as a child and you know
It's not sure for many people going to school with our our priest every day as a kid
But you know life happens and you have different responsibilities and
Not as much time to be about I guess
And once you see them all the shades between black and white things kind of
Perspectives change. Yeah, what do you see?
Well, some also go to where their family would reside
they are mostly the same and they could
Could be separated if wanted or united if wanted
There are those who
shy away from
what is good and rights and those who do
would often fall to the
Plains of darkness or known as the negative planes
And I
Would not recommend such a such an ending for anyone and I would not wish it upon anyone either yeah
How will you I
Mean if this was easy, I mean everybody
To it, but sir way to know where somebody ends up, you know when you lose someone
It's the way to
Contact them again find out where they are
There are ways of reaching contact to other planes and there are ways of
Speaking to those who have passed
either in there by speaking to the corporeal remains or
Attempting a connection to the incorporeal without
Material connection
The latter is harder
Yeah, it seems so but that's the case for most I guess especially when time has passed. Yes, exactly
There are there are ways yes, I
Would want to go about finding those ways
Well before
Going out on such a path of
Contacting those who have moved on
It is
fruitful to ask the question of
why they would
want this contact and
Whether it would just be
Again or more of loss
Both personal and societal
Which I'm moving on from that there is
I do not dabble much in spells of divination and
These
Otherworldly
Incantations, I mostly deal with the healing and remedies, but there is a spell known as
Contact other plane as far as I know
More of a diffuse sort of connection, but
Might be able to answer some questions
Another way is
Not sure if it's true or more of a rumor, but there are tales of people visiting
These locations
Not without danger, but we assume so yeah doesn't seem like you may see
A journey I would not be able to undertake such a journey by myself at the very least. Yeah
Where where would I
Do you know where I could go to find someone to help me contact another
I believe any larger temple might be able to help you if you already have an inclination of
Where or
The person has passed on towards that would be helpful
Say if they left to the Storm Lord, but you're contacting
the dragon
It will be slightly more
Challenging yeah for the practitioner. I
Mean, I have a hope to know or where he ended up, but I I don't know. That's sort of the problem. I guess
I see I
Believe a large temple would do such as temple say
Intimidate I could attempt a sort of rudimentary
Incantation I would need
perhaps a day of preparation before I
attempt
If you want this I could assist you anything I can do to I would have to look into the material costs of the spell
of course and
Offsetting any labor lost I
Can I can help you?
any other things like
If you have anything of the persons I have something with me, yeah
That would be helpful and
A strong will
I think it can be arranged. Yeah
We could say tomorrow at high Sun
Seems the most fitting to me. Yeah
strong connections
Okay
Is there anything else you?
Want to talk about now?
What did you?
I
Said something about both
gains and loss both personal and personal and societal about
Contacting this could you what?
well if you want to
Reach out to say a past grandmother
because she
Holds a secret that would maybe a cure for a disease
Impacting a village that would be a very good reason to contact someone, but if you
Craving husbandhood didn't get to say goodbye
The contact for reaching out and wishing them well on their attorney onwards, it's not
Badly looked on towards and I think there are many who
Though not with arcane assistance or divine assistance do this by themselves
sort of a silent prayer and
If there is a grieving husband who needs to talk to their
wants to say goodbye
That is something that can be
That is something that can be
Be helped around it
It's not to know where she
Ended up, you know
She's okay. It's not fair
Thank you very much lady Sabrina, of course
I'll see you tomorrow. It's high sun. Okay, walk in the light
Come along my
Idea to
So I didn't shake
Mary
What I do
You have just arrived and as a missionary I bite so felt it was smart to take
And listen to the local temple before you started
Yes, so
Banking on very carefully
I
would
sort of
in
große her
saker
The zone
2018 no fan slightly
Good day, is this a good time?
Sorry, you just started me.
Oh.
Sorry, I was just deep in thought and conversation.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, I was just finished here.
Oh, did you have like a deep religious conversation?
I'm assuming it's some kind of...
Oh, that's so nice. I'm so sorry for interrupting.
No, it's okay. We were just finishing off.
Okay, good. You must have an amazing day thinking about all the things that you've learned today.
And...
Just put on your glasses.
If you put on your glasses, your eyes will be quite red.
Oh, god.
From the nose.
You are doing great.
Oh, you're getting a guidance.
Oh, god.
She has now managed to get guidance, and she uses it every single minute.
Because it's just one minute, right?
I just go out and beat people every minute.
How do you feel when you get a guidance?
How do you think it feels?
You feel like you want to do something good.
What do you feel when you touch it?
At home, when you get a little closer to Agatha, she's like...
She's a 400 year old lion, so almost all lions look pretty alike.
But she has grandmothers eyes.
You don't see much else than that, but she has grandmothers eyes.
And the attitude is a bit more old person.
Even though she's like...
It's not wrinkled, but it's a bit crooked here.
Yes, it's kind of like...
I don't know if I should write it better.
Interesting.
Oh, I can hear people.
And the celebrations?
Spiritual awakening for everyone.
I hope I'm here for the festival. That sounds amazing.
Is there a small cloister or something for Bahamut around here?
Yes, there is one further up into the higher end district.
Nice.
I believe the clan leader of the...
Or the mayor, I think it is.
I think he's a believer, so they have something set up for his family and all of them.
Nice, and what's his name?
Her name is Sikan.
Nice, how do I write it?
C-I-C-C-A-N.
Okay, nice.
So, that's the mayor?
Yes.
And she's...
Okay, that sounds great.
I'm so sorry for being like...
I'm glad to see some enthusiasm.
Yes.
If you walked around, you probably heard of the recent minor incidents and the...
Oh, yes. Is there something I can do here at the temple?
Well, it's sort of quieted down a bit.
If you would like to, we could maybe practice a healing ritual together?
Yes.
I don't have anything at the moment, but I will of course let you know.
If you're staying here for the celebrations, then we'll have ample time to get to know each other.
Yes, thank you so much.
I'm trying to keep a solemn composure and...
It's not very, like, solemn, barmite, to, like, jump around.
Everyone has their style.
That's true. I like that.
You have a very calm aura about you. I really like it.
Thank you.
I find that speaking softly helps panicking people reduce the amount of panicking.
That is very true.
Yes, thank you so much once again.
Of course. Have a good day.
You as well.
Thank you.
Agatha looks very happy.
Is there a pine tree in the garden in front of you as well?
They have...
By chance?
They have a pine tree set up on the backside of the temple.
So if you walk around on the other side of town square, it would be nice if you could...
Stand next to it.
I don't have to stand on the grass there.
Agatha looks happy from the sunhouse.
Try to...
And then, like...
Walk like this, around, nodding to everything you see.
Again, when it's been a minute...
You are enough.
One minute later...
You are loved.
Walk in a dragon's footprints.
Nice one.
You are in the pine tree.
By the pine tree.
The pine tree.
I had to work a bit there.
You are in the library.
On the way.
On the way.
You probably want something from...
At 12 o'clock, you want to split up, because the library is a little north of the temple.
Vogue there, are you investigating something?
What kind of books do you want, Hans?
Yes. I want some maps.
And I would like a book about...
Mouse.
So, Hans is going to move up to one of the libraries.
And his legs.
Because that didn't work last time.
Yes.
Mouse and...
I would like maps.
Maps and mice.
Yes.
Well, the map section you can find over there.
If you see over there, that whole kind of shelf is dedicated to maps.
You can kind of see the scrolls and you can drag out the big ones if you want to.
So, look at those.
And the mice would be in the biology section.
I believe you were here...
Not too long ago.
It shouldn't be too far off from the ant book.
Yes.
I'm going to step over to the maps section.
I'm going to start to pull out div maps.
And look for specific maps over Endymere and Ixana.
Yes.
And take some time to study them.
Where are they in relation to where we are?
Okay.
I get the feeling of actually studying maps and knowing where you are.
Mm.
Yes.
I believe the maps you have in the document are working.
Are there any specific maps you have been looking for?
I'm looking specifically for temples in Endymere.
Yes.
The central temple in Seir is a pretty big one.
And then they would have...
The platinum...
The platinum dragon.
Yes.
And they would probably have one for each god.
Mm.
Actually.
But...
The temple in Seir is the one that stands out the most.
The other ones are the ones that contribute.
There are some in each of their areas.
They have a change bringer temple.
Mm.
Down in...
A slightly less rich area.
Mm.
And Stormlord on the side with a plateau that is more exposed to bad weather.
Wildmother in the city of Hagen, etc.
Mm.
So that's really what they do.
And then they come to bury themselves.
Or find out what a mouse actually eats.
Mm.
And how do you take care of a mouse.
Mm.
Mm.
That's...
You can maybe give me a list of things.
Investigation or nature check.
Mm.
Nature check might fit in that book, even if it's reading only.
That's always the best.
Uh...
Yes, that's a sign.
Yes.
Uh...
Cheese is what you manage to get out of it.
Nice.
Mostly.
A children's book that's just like...
Mice like cheese.
Mm.
Yes.
Hedgehog acid.
Hedgehog acid.
Ant was also...
Ant was also a children's book, so it was a bit in the same area.
You went to the children's book.
Yes.
Pictograms.
Yeah, but never mind.
A big picture.
Ah, yes.
A book I can read.
Yeah.
Lisandre, would you mind if we looked...
If we looked netheress up together?
Yes.
I will go ask about it.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm looking for some information about the person or something.
I just have a name.
Mm-hmm.
If you can help me.
Netheress.
Nether.
Is.
Netheress or something.
Control it.
Control it.
Neffess.
Don't ring a bell.
Neffess.
I'm not sure.
Do you have any sort of inclination on who it is?
Dark cult.
Ah.
I see.
Evil persons.
I sadly walk in with it.
Well, you could look in the...
Religions and dubious knowledge section.
Okay.
We have a dubious knowledge section.
Religions and a cult, as its official name lies.
Okay.
Maybe something within there.
You could try and search for n, but I assume you're not going to find anything because
I...
I've...
You've read all the books.
I have a fairly deep understanding of what books we have and don't ring a bell.
Do you have anything about any dark usage or something like...
People who want to misuse catharics.
Oh.
And cults.
As two separate books or the same?
No, the same.
Okay.
It's got the same inclination.
Oh.
No.
No.
Well, you could look in the catharic section.
You'd have to search a bit, I'm sorry.
People don't usually ask all these deep complex questions, but feel free to ring me up if
you can't find it after looking.
I should be able to find something.
Whether it's useful or not, it's up to you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Of course.
Shall we go to the TV's person or the...
The TV's section.
I was also wondering, do you have anything on Trigon Isle?
Trigon Isle.
That would likely be in the section on Shana knowledge.
All right.
Thank you.
Bye.
Sally is still wondering what she wants to do.
Sally wants to do fact-checking, you know.
I'm not impressed by what the section Ike has done.
Oh boy.
Okay.
Cool.
I feel offended.
But also not at all.
We can start with that.
Yes, what kind of check is that?
I think it's going to be a small religion?
They are not exactly the same, I have to say.
Okay.
Oh no.
I can't see anything.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Are we going to have a surprise?
Yes, we have to have a surprise.
It's not particularly good news.
Okay.
Claes was a big follower of The Storm Lord.
I find a lot of the same, to confirm that he was with some others down to the underworld.
And before he went there, he had to pass a test of his father.
Where he was given a key to heaven to help him on his journey.
Which he used for the rest of his days.
Just the same as last time.
You have to confirm that Ike has spoken the truth.
Ike can read.
I can read.
For the most part.
Nope, still can't read.
Alexander.
You went to the occult section.
I see that it's all that can have some kind of connection with Nedris.
Or just dark cults, evil people, or shepherds.
Who want to use Kessarix for evil purposes.
Because it's...
Cool.
Alexander is completely convinced that these people have something to do with the fact that they came here because of Kessarix.
Let's start there.
Okay.
So...
You can give me the investigation.
To see if you can find the right book.
That's probably the best one to start with.
17.
17.
Okay.
You...
Try to look around in various divine and ungodly places.
And you don't really find much, really.
It becomes...
You never pick up any of them.
Nothing that looks like it matches the names of Nedris.
When it comes to using Kessarix, there's nothing special about the occult section at all.
No.
I couldn't find anything here.
Should we look at the Kessarix, or do you want to have a look?
We can look at the Kessarix.
Yeah.
I also want to take a look at my book.
Okay.
That would be an investigation.
I wish you would do it with disadvantage.
Okay.
Is it now?
Yes.
That's a mistake, right?
No, no, no.
Fix it.
Okay.
It's actually a 14.
14.
To investigate your own book.
The Dragon Isle book.
Yes, that book.
Not my book.
No.
The Dragon Isle book.
Okay.
I've had some information about it, but I'd like to know more about it.
In a book that describes some of the different eyes, it refers to the Dragon Isle, which is described as a bit strange.
The bar geometry on the eyes is a bit strange, since it looks a bit like a tree edge.
It doesn't seem like there's anything mystical going on there.
That there's something occult that has happened before, but has been stopped for a long time since.
You said you found a 14?
It says that there's only one setting of death, but at the end of the occult work, the Silver Barbs were visited by the eye.
That one too.
Everything is a bit strange in the area.
It seems so.
Storms?
It happens.
A bit more strange waves than some of the other eyes in the area.
The eye almost doesn't want to keep the visitors away.
Yes.
That one too.
So we're going to look at the cancer eggs. Do you mean like a book on cancer eggs, or do you mean like an actual cancer eggs?
A book.
I want to look if there is any information about the misuse of cancer eggs.
If that's a clue to the nadiris, because I couldn't find anything about nadiris in the health section.
Could maybe do some research articles talk about ethical concerns, right? Is that something we could look at?
Yeah.
They do have some research articles here.
That's...
I have good ideas sometimes.
Yeah?
No, but like... I'll follow your lead. I'll follow your lead. Just lead on.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Wow.
17.
Now it's moving so well.
I'm just glad I have a plus 6 in the investigation.
But I haven't rolled very well today.
No.
17 is enough to find a commentary on another research article, written by the Cancer Academy,
which talks about the concerns about what cancer eggs can be used for.
Almost like the Albert Einstein, Oppenheimer theme.
Albert Einstein sent a letter to the US President to warn about the atomic bomb and its destructive power.
That it was something good.
Hey guys, continuous spells are weapons, people.
It's not just light, it can also be fireball per second.
Fireball per minute.
Because the days are not good for the stomach.
And it's more about her.
A broad view on the problems around the fact that there is no proper regulation on how the Cancer Academy should be used
and who has access to it.
Anyone can take a tour of our sponsor, Soran Minions, to dig out their own treasure.
And that if they would get a cancer egg today, they can use it for what they want, because there is no proper regulation on it.
Who is the mastermind behind it?
Does it say anything?
It says something, but I don't know what it is.
That is a name?
Yeah, some sort of code.
It was...
Tsuwa.
Tsuwa.
Tsuwa.
Tsuwa-shun.
No, shun.
Tsuwa-shun.
Okay.
Tsuwa-shun.
Okay.
Well, it's...
We can always just look at Tsuwa-shun.
Or we can look for something else.
I don't know. We don't know anything at this point.
Does it say anything about the book?
I don't know.
Let's look at the books.
You...
While you're still reading, before you look at the book.
Sally.
I can barely tell that a big metal box is about to leave the library.
No one else is watching this.
I don't feel like it.
Okay.
Would you also like to do a stealth check?
Yes.
I would.
There are two of them.
There are nine of them.
You stand up when you move, and the others notice that Sally is going out.
Or at least she stands up to go out.
But I don't see anything when you're looking up.
Yes.
I can't see anything.
So you disappear, and you wonder where the other two are.
When you look up, they're nowhere to be found.
Where is she?
I don't know.
Where are they?
I have no clue.
I assume we will figure it out and find them.
Perhaps they went to the toilet, but I don't think Aunt used the toilet.
I don't think they do, no.
But it might be that they're doing some kind of research.
I need to clean my filters.
Maybe they just need to feel the sunlight.
Yeah, maybe.
Artelius Winterlost doesn't ring a bell with you, does it?
A name?
No, never heard it.
He's the head of Kesserex Academy, I was wondering.
Maybe that's a name.
I don't know if it's a name, but there was something more to the name than that.
Yeah, I want to have another try asking the librarian.
You go over to the librarian, and while you're doing that,
we'll zoom out where Aunt left the library.
Yes.
I want to find a place for the Nordslag store,
on a hunt for both a tent and those other things.
Yes.
You start to pass out, and while you're doing that,
you notice a lady who looks like she's greeting everyone who's walking down the street.
And touching everyone.
Five minutes.
And holding hands.
You know what you've got to do, right?
There's a lot of things that come to your mind.
So what you see on the street is an old woman.
She might not be old, but she behaves like an old lady.
She has gray hair, no fancy stash,
and everything is very well-polished.
Chainmail and everything.
Sword and the whole package.
In addition to the shawl.
And the only thing that's fancy is all the baby symbols.
It's almost a banner in front of her.
The shirt is just a banner.
And she's greeting the old lady who's sitting next to her.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
I'm working.
I'm working too.
The baby torch is over you.
Oh, that's nice to hear.
Yes.
And then you see her trying to walk down the street.
You can see some small...
...undulations, gold undulations.
Around and away from the banners hanging.
You can see that it covers so much.
In a way, it's a table.
Like a cage.
Yeah.
Basket hoops.
And then she comes back with a little...
What did I tell you?
Building nests in my hair.
Back in your cage.
Like someone who's trying to avoid people on the street.
Who wants eye contact.
And will be the one who moves around on the other side.
Very deliberately.
I just heard a clink sound.
Oh, nice to meet you.
You are not...
You are not...
You are not...
I'm so sorry.
It's the moment you lose one.
Oh no.
He's actively walking away.
Sorry, you're not that far away.
No, I see.
Yes.
Okay.
Is it about avoiding people?
Or is it being made contact?
You can do a text save.
Okay.
Against...
It's...
Please be quiet.
Let's see, sorry.
I have to open my character.
It's just avoiding people.
Text save, bro.
I hope it's a song.
It's...
Okay, it's just a text.
Yes, I got a six.
Everything is very clumsy.
Yes, definitely.
The moment you take, it's...
You are loved.
It's an instinctive reaction.
Ant is automatically driving the overdrive.
And will do a...
I don't know, grapple.
Will do a...
Push.
Yes, push is perhaps the first.
If you're not sure.
It's push, or we'll go full speed.
No, I have to take them.
I'm going to do it reckless.
So it's an 18 to hit.
It's an ace?
Yes.
I don't have a soul.
Then we hit.
I think it's an athletics check, I guess.
It's a...
15 athletics check.
Ash, I got it.
It's a...
It's a 13 to push you off.
I'm not so sure.
Dagger.
Don't touch me!
Is this a cultural thing? I'm so sorry.
Ant!
What the fuck?
Why do you touch me?
I ask not...
Do not touch me!
You can't attack old ladies on the street.
She attacked me first.
Sure, yes.
She barely touched you.
It's fine.
Is this local to the area?
No, no.
They're just insane.
Fuck you!
You know each other?
Kind of. Hi, Ant.
No!
Do not touch me!
Okay, yes. I will not.
Ant, apologize.
It's not necessary.
Agatha, I'm crying.
I don't know how you can run.
Now I just have to ask.
Bodily please.
Oh, don't mind them.
That's a huge overreaction.
Anyway, I'm Agatha.
Agatha, I'm...
I'm so sorry.
Bye.
She's running in the direction of the mayor.
Yes.
Congratulations!
Ant, you're not...
It's a shame you fell over.
And now we're walking in the opposite direction.
I'm sorry, but this had to happen.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm just saying, Ant,
if you want to keep a low profile,
this is really not the way to do it.
The people will stop touching me!
They don't know
that you don't like to be touched.
They could ask.
They could.
Some people won't.
Yeah, then they get what's coming to them.
For fuck's sake.
Yes.
Where are you going anyway?
I'm going to shop.
Fine, I'll join.
That was not an invitation.
I know.
Fuck.
No.
She's sitting by the tree.
You're making me nervous.
Are you going into something?
No.
What's this?
She's going to the villa.
She's going to Stansbro.
It's amazing.
I have a bit of an opportunity
to interview her.
But...
It'll be fine.
Agatha,
and you,
against the library...
No, what's it called?
The library in Swedish
is the biggest in Norway.
That's why I'm confused.
You're running a bit too slow.
But it's not true.
You're trying hard
to keep it up.
You're trying
to keep it up.
When you turn
towards the other district,
there are less crowded streets.
So you find the opportunity
to take a breath.
No.
You're a pro.
You're a pro.
You're a pro.
Just...
You walk up
the side of Great Stardust,
on a hilltop,
on the edge of the walls,
looking out over the small lake.
There you find
a relatively beautiful
three-story tall tree house
with
Mary's Home
on the outside.
It looks like
it's actually
open,
but it's not.
Okay.
I'm going to take a deep breath.
I'm going to take a deep breath.
I'm going to think about
how a good paladin
would behave.
I'm going to think of some words.
What time
is it now?
Now it's
two o'clock.
Mm. Yes.
Bonk, bonk.
The door opens,
and on the inside there's a
lady greeting you.
It's a tupi tupi tup.
Tupi tupi tup.
What's a tupi tupi tup?
Is it a
special race?
It's a
green-skinned
reptile-shaped
skull that opens the door.
It's a dragon ball.
Tupi tupi tup.
It has a pretty long
snout, so
it looks like it would
limit something of the side view.
A bit like Urik.
It's a little nose on it.
A really nice nose.
It's a nice nose.
It has pretty simple clothes,
but it's pretty clean,
and it's nice to have it on.
Hello.
I'm looking for Sikan.
Is that you?
I'm Sikan, yes.
So great to meet you.
I saw that you're the mayor, and that you're
representing Bahamut.
Correct. I was actually just heading out.
Do you
have anything you wanted to ask?
No, I just wanted to...
Yes, my name is Agatha.
Nice to meet you.
I'm a follower of Bahamut.
Great. Where do you hail from, Agatha?
Where do you hail from?
I'm...
I don't remember the name of the city.
You see where you're coming from.
Oh, Endymere. Interesting.
So the capital and everything.
From the temple, you said.
That's quite an interesting place.
You must be privy to quite a lot of
interesting political conversations then.
Well, yes.
Not directly.
More bureaucratic
jobs.
But yes, I'm so happy
to be out on a missionary quest.
I just wanted to get to know
the area.
This is...
First area, I'm
at the tomb, so...
I'm trying to get to know, especially
the religious
representatives.
Yes, I'm sure you've
maybe already spoken to Sabrina then?
Yes, absolutely. She's
such an amazing lady.
She is quite
nice. A polite lady.
You were heading out?
Yes, I was having a meeting
down in the
administrative building.
Would you like to walk with me?
I'd love that. Thank you so much.
Right, so you've come to
Sorin.
Basically, you go out and lock the door.
Then you go down together.
What's
mostly for
learning purposes?
Do you have any sort of mission from the temple?
Yes, it's...
Mostly, it's because
it sounded like a nice place
to start with a
rich local culture and
a blend of many
kinds of people.
So it seemed like a cozy
nice place to start with.
It's nice to hear. I would say it's quite
quite a lot happening
at the moment, but
lots of things are happening
everywhere.
Even though the war is quite far away, it's kind of
impacting our trade
and everything here as well.
We had some incidents in the mine
and Farmer, the boss there,
has taken some contact with me.
There are things to
take care of.
But chugging along, and I think the
celebrations next week will be a good break
for the team.
It was the administrative team
to sort of take a breather and for all
the citizens to take the focus
away from all these
daily stresses.
Absolutely.
I heard about the mine,
but what exactly happened?
Was there a malfunction?
Well, I would say
the mountain malfunctioned.
Okay.
I see. We have had some
fissures. You might have
passed through,
I believe, I've spoken to
the mining office and they've
tried to map out some things. They mentioned
a small town named Doreen
on the way here from Endymere. You may have passed
which have
had, likely
chronologically seems to be the first
occurrence of these
fissures of the
nasty miasma from the Earth.
Oh, well that sounds
not very
healthy, no. That doesn't sound like
just a collapse.
No, so we had a small outbreak of that in the
mines and from that
outbreak we lost some structural integrity
and it's not really
my case, but it's impacted
quite a lot of the
city morale. I can see that. Are they
planning on reopening the mines if
it's like infested?
I believe there have been
ventilating sort of the gases
trying to figure out filtration techniques
and we'll be likely considering
chugging onwards because
it's kind of
not very fun, but
the dynasty
is really pushing
for this extraction of the casserole
for their further exports
and that means we have to keep going
here and then that means we can't
just stop when something happens. We have
to just take it day by
day almost.
So I'm glad I'm not far mere at the moment.
He probably has a fair bit
to deal with.
People always have something to worry about,
right? Yes.
Do you have other
like, that's maybe the main job
in town, like
if you lost the mines, lots of people would lose
their jobs, right? Absolutely.
The whole
outer district is
miners' homes, both of the
local mine but also up in the mountains
proper where they filter out in all these
sort of directions.
What other things
does your town produce?
Well, we do some fishing.
Being so close to the lake.
I
won't go into all of that
at the moment. Is there
fishers in the water as well?
No.
But some
angry, angry frogs.
It seems.
It's just
not the best.
It's just not the best time here at the moment.
It's sad that there's so many
problems, but I'm happy I'm
here so that I maybe can
help a little.
That would be great, actually.
If you were
not sure how to handle these frogs,
it's more used to
talking to other humanoids and
these are
I'm not sure what they are.
Do they speak common? No.
Which is
a challenge. I see.
And they seem
a bit violent.
We've had to put up some guards by the local
fisheries and
by the water ports.
It would be
horrible for the locals if they
lose the two big
Yes.
We do some farming, but that's
spread out for other people
out of Taiwan as well.
Mostly independent workers.
Not the
easiest time.
I will admit that.
Now we've probably
gone for a while to talk, so maybe we'll meet
there.
I believe this is my stop.
Please contact me
if I can be of any help. That's why I'm here.
Of course.
Feel free to
find a group and deal with this problem.
I'm sure we'll
if you head into this
this office will surely be able to
report you afterwards.
Oh, that's a good idea. Travelling alone is
dangerous. These frogs
are
inventive.
It almost seems like they
I'm not sure
how this happened, but they almost
seem like they
are humanoid.
They have their own weapons, their own
everything it seems.
Thank you
for the information.
How many inns are there?
Oh, there's
quite a lot of inns.
I believe.
Stunstro is
the largest and most local.
We also have
the tavern swords,
bone to pick,
water's window, the wet
whistle.
Stunstro sounds nice.
You'll probably find me at Stunstro.
Either that or I'll be around town
all day.
Thank you so much once again.
And good luck with all the
it sounds like you're doing a terrific job
with keeping jobs for the
locals. Thank you. I hope you will
help us by keeping up morale.
Absolutely. Have a good day.
Thank you so much.
The wet whistle.
It's so white!
It's the wet whistle.
Does it stop it?
We're grown-ups.
White or wet?
Wet.
Don't touch me,
kind of like.
It sounded a little funny.
It was a nice name.
No problem here.
No, you didn't say it loud.
I did.
It's a bit nosy.
It was
what you heard wrong.
I was on my way to find a room at Stunstro
and there were companions
who were like, oh my god, I'm coming with you
like the others.
Team Library.
My head hurts.
Do you have any information about
colts wearing dark
clothes?
The fashion of colts.
In my
fantastical experience
from the books
I've read,
most colts use dark
clothes. It's kind of easy to hide
your shadows.
It's not very branded.
You don't really have like these
logos people can recognize you by.
Hashtag.
If you were going to name like three
big colts, not like proper religions
but like the three big top
colts, what would
they be? So that we have something
to go off on.
Top three.
Babbies.
Your favorite colts.
Most famous bad
colts, I guess.
Most famous bad colts.
The first one
on your mind. First one on my mind
would be Colt of the Dragon.
Worshippers of
Tiamat. Not that I've really
never seen any
of them, but
as Bahamut is such
a central piece of Pala,
of course you would have
an antagonistic force trying to
encroach on their religious territory
by
showcasing the opposite
gods and set of beliefs.
You as an honor can repeat
Colt of the Dragon.
Worshippers of Tiamat.
What's the name of the region
I'm from again?
I don't remember.
South-East, I think.
Is there any colts in the southeast?
Not that I know.
Unfortunately,
we're all quite local
here.
What's the largest city around here?
Around here?
Soren.
Soren.
If you kind of grow out
in a radius of two weeks, you would have Endima.
A bit more
Serenity. That's kind of the big ones
in the area. Would you have a lake town
if you follow the river further down through the forest?
Slightly smaller, but
seems like a great place.
Where do you think you have any information
about the southeast?
Further southeast?
Yeah, but what's the largest
town close to that?
There's not that many large
towns out there.
Libraries?
Probably some libraries in the towns.
The kind of
population dwindles the further out you go.
True.
It's like middle of nowhere. You think
you're in Gok.
Oh, that's just town actually.
Small town.
Not very far away from my
home tower.
Is it on block spec?
Wait, if I can...
My head is...
I'm getting a headache,
so maybe we can round up
today?
Unless you have something specific you want to look up?
No, I don't think this library
has any more information we can use.
Or at least
we can find the day.
I don't know.
Well, we'll see if we find anything
else anywhere else.
Reading takes time.
Alright, should we go find the others?
Actually, maybe we could put the pub by store
real quick.
Should we wait with going to the
angry chest until we meet up with the others?
Is it bad going alone to the shop?
No.
Wait, they might already be there.
They just left.
Alright, and the angry chest, do you think?
Alright, well then we can go there.
And then we can go to the stone throw and they'll find us anyway.
Okay, therefore that the
library, you're sitting on stone throw,
you're on your way to stone throw,
they're already on their way.
Should we take a little break
before we continue?
Jesus was a dinosaur
out with the new song now.
Jesus was a dinosaur
out with the new song now.
When the apes come we run on Spotify.
One, two, three, clap when you want.
No, no, no, you clap when you want,
but you don't look down.
Synchronized.
Check.
Oh, we're so good.
No, you fucked up.
You said one, two, three, clap when you want.
Come on, clap again.
Synchronized again.
Clap when you're ready.
I'm not ready yet.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Yes.
And then we can start.
Ho.
Hi, ho.
Hi, ho.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Hi, ho.
Hi, ho, hi, ho, hi, ho.
Hi, ho.
Are you going to play catch and pull?
Yes.
Oh shit, it's in Norwegian.
I don't recognize you.
I'm your catch and pull.
I'm going to be so quiet and
hang up the phone.
Help us.
Maris, do you need help?
No, I have so many contacts,
I just have to...
Oh, fuck.
One minute silence.
Yes, that was one minute.
We have
been in the library
and we have
been
hosting
The Mayor.
I'm sure.
I don't know what the full name is,
Mayor.
Thank you.
And the next thing I noticed
was the deal with Ant
and Sally.
So where and what
is your deal?
Ant.
Ant would like to be in a
kind of general store,
adventure in gear place.
I think he will walk pretty fast.
As a coincidence.
Fast. You have to
jog a little to keep up.
Passive aggressive fast.
I agree.
Walk slower.
People are staring at you.
They're staring at you.
You are jogging behind.
You are going faster than most
regular people would.
I have places to be.
I'm walking in.
Move!
Hey.
I just see Ant
moving.
To walk so fast,
Ant moves
definitively.
He walks out of the way
to not get into the crowd.
It becomes a form of slalom
to avoid
being close to the crowd.
It's unnatural fast.
Unnatural fast.
It's power walk deluxe.
Is it like you have Christmas under your belt?
No, you don't have Christmas under your belt.
It's very clear.
It's like a captain.
Where are the others?
We want to find a general store.
Ant would like to buy a tent.
You go to The Angry Chest.
It's the general store.
Not far from
Stone's Row and Sun House.
It's a central
shopping area.
There are trees in there.
Behind the table
there is a manly work.
Sitting there on a bed.
The trees don't live
in a different way.
Not so deep.
With long
red braids.
With braided hair on the sides
and brown eyes.
Simple clothes.
With his beard
in a similar braid as ours.
Yes.
Tents, come right up.
I'll check the price on it and I'll
see anything more while you...
Can I take a short
glance around
and see if I can find
something for toys?
Yes.
You can roll a reception check.
Nice.
It's a solid 14.
Yes.
There are some toys around.
There is a small area where I have
put some simple
striped docks.
And made some
balls that are more
together.
They are long together
for each lead.
So it's nice to look too long
and too round.
In
some random colored
pieces.
It looks very well made.
Probably from a porn shop situation.
You can see a fluffy
wool
cardigan
in the corner.
And
it looks like a deep
jojo.
Hanging down
over the edge of a chair on the side there.
And a little different.
You probably don't want to find what you're looking for
if you have any important toys.
And then comes to pick
the wool cardigan.
Stand and evaluate in jojo.
A little unsure of how it works
but will also pick it up
in the wrong end or the vassal.
And
will walk up
this
as well.
Cool, right.
I have a tent for two people.
Would that be standard?
Good.
The tent would be two gold.
And then these two I think.
Silver and
five copper. Sound good?
Yes.
And will open both
and roll around in them.
One silver and one copper.
While
Ant is looking for toys and
shopping, Sally will see
if there are any
leather gloves
in the shop.
In the size of your finger.
You can find
that pretty easily.
And it doesn't cost more than
13.
Take them.
They cover
all the way out.
And both hands.
There is no fingerless.
They have fingerless as well?
Yes.
She has some that she has been
carrying all the time.
I see that they are a little
striped, maybe not so much.
It's nice to be really
thoughtful.
The first one is there.
I think
that's it.
Do you have a
chiller on your hands after
going to the store?
We don't know.
I don't have gloves.
I have an iPhone.
Do you have gloves
for an iPhone?
Do you deal in
magic items?
Anything in particular?
Identify magical items?
I could do a quick look-see.
Maybe back.
Or some friends.
It was three golds.
Three golds for the hands.
Do you have money?
Yes.
Didn't you give all the money to Apolline?
No, it was after
I took the money
that was in the crypt and shared it.
But I didn't give everything to Apolline.
Perfect.
Do you want to take the money?
Yes.
She was so proud
when she took the money.
Wasn't that her?
With that...
Easy and easy.
The game will start in Bergen.
And take the tent
under your feet.
Cool.
You're leaving...
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
He's going to leave soon.
Hallar.
Do you need to
do something with your hearing?
Or maybe.
Hallar is
also
not a very general place.
And?
I was thinking more a town.
City.
General area.
Nearest lake.
Mountain. I don't know.
Nearest
hole in the ground.
Obviously.
Sally is going in.
Ant is coming
slowly but surely.
She's taking it easy.
She's taking it easy.
Sally first.
She's taking it easy.
She's taking it easy.
She's taking it easy.
While you
are walking
you are
in the distant
two known figures
walking down the street from the library.
You are going in.
I'm going in.
I don't expect to see them, so I'm going in straight
towards the angry chum.
I was just thinking of popping by
the angry chest for some material components.
Where are you headed? Did you get what you need?
Yeah.
Are those your gloves?
I love them.
Thanks.
They're lovely.
Then we'll meet up with you in like
I'm planning on being very quick.
Yeah. I don't know what I need.
We should probably
could go back with
the key and ask them
to identify it.
Well, why don't you, like, the stone store is not very far away.
Why don't you just go and
get Ike?
And then you can meet us at the store.
And then we'll be done
with the albino.
So we'll wait for you here, okay?
Sure.
Sally and
Yeah.
And
And
Alexander. What's up?
It's Guy. Yes.
How are you?
I am fine. How are you?
I'm fine.
Anything?
Anything happening?
What? What are you trying to say?
No, I'm asking if
I haven't had a great time
at the town.
I had
a fine time.
Great.
Oh, actually, what
Ant had was
some sort of massive
overreaction when this random woman
tried to, she just
bumped into him.
No, no.
And they
followed me and
touched me. I was sure they were going to
kill her.
I think
No, I think I'm just
very confused.
She cried, I started to say it
and she just continued.
Did she say it was an old lady?
Yes. Did you dagger at an old
lady?
You don't touch me.
But it's an old lady.
Yes.
You know, all old
persons are usually
cute.
And that is
their problem.
Are you okay Ant?
No!
Oh, sorry.
Why the fuck
are you yelling so loud? Like the whole
tavern is like listening to what's going on
inside.
Ant is working on keeping
a low profile.
Did somebody die?
Should we go to the general store?
You know what, let's just table
this discussion for later.
I will leave. Ant will go in
his direction.
Where is Agatha?
I think she's on a trip with her
grandfather.
Ant is going to go
from this side.
The best thing is that the direction is right.
Yes, yes.
Agatha is going to run away.
Me and Satine later, okay?
Yeah, great.
Anyway, we're thinking
of going to the angry chest
to have them have a look at your
key. Yeah, good idea.
New gloves?
Cool, I like it.
That's what I think.
Bombastic state.
Bombastic state.
Thanks.
Should someone go with
Ant?
I can go. Probably.
I think they'll
be fine, but yeah.
I will not touch you.
We might have to go
find them in jail.
I think we all have to work
on some things together.
You think?
You know you can use me as your shield
if people are going to touch you.
I have a shield.
Yes, but then you can put me
in front of them.
So they touch me instead.
Why?
Because then they touch me and not you.
They can just
stop touching me.
Yes, but some people don't
understand that.
And then they
have to deal with
consequence.
If I can talk to them.
Yes, you were not there.
No, now I'm here.
Yes.
Shall we go?
Look at horses.
We can find a stable?
Yes.
Yes.
There you go.
Okay, you have your
figuring, right?
Let's go to the store,
check it out, and then I can just buy my thing.
They go to the entrance.
They go in,
look behind the door.
Hi, sorry, do you
like
identifying of magical
items? I can do that, yes. Cool.
What's the service?
What do I owe you for the service?
5 gold.
Take it out
and put 500.
Okay, right, so we go here.
Okay.
Oh, you gave him the green one.
I didn't hear it.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
He actually takes and goes behind
the counter and pulls
out a pair of glasses.
He didn't have glasses on,
he lost them now.
He just skips through and tries to find
a nice angle.
And it gets flashed blue
on the glasses.
And it looks like he's like,
oh,
fancy, fancy.
This
is a figurine
of wondrous power.
It's a statuette
of a quartz
pegasus.
Once every three days,
you can call
it out and
you'll have a pegasus on your hands.
Oh my god, that is so cool.
Is there like, how long this is?
About six
hours. Jesus.
Probably good for travel, that is.
Yeah.
Pretty cool. Pretty cool.
You can fly on a horse.
Thank you for your service.
It has a command word,
which I'll just give you here so you don't
say it out loud.
And it's written on the
eolus.
Oh yeah, command word, true.
That is so cool.
Would you go
and get that?
Honestly, it was passed
down to me by my parents.
I don't know if they knew it was...
Pretty cool pair of them.
Wish I knew that.
How much is this worth?
Quite a lot, I guess.
I'd say
rough estimate.
At least four digits.
Four digits.
Gold.
Four digits.
That's quite a bit.
Low forest, mid forest?
Probably low mid forest, but still forest.
Pretty solid.
And I mean, probably
a lot of people who would like to fly a Pegasus
could make a fancy
experience out of that.
Like a circus out first.
Come here once every five days, you can
ride this Pegasus.
And then make a queue.
I agree, can't do that.
But I see
business ideas.
I get you good at them.
Um...
I actually need to think. Do you have like
material components for spells?
Something like
a diamond about
roughly 50 gold
maybe. Preferably a small one that
can be
like ingrained into
a wand. That would be the best. Do you have
something like that? On like the staff or on the tip?
I was thinking staff, actually.
Or maybe like the bottom.
Alright, right, right. Like a kind of weight.
Yeah, I was thinking something like that.
Sound cool.
Just give me a second.
I have this one here for
50 gold.
Would you like me to
do a thing about it?
I have one that can work.
Good balance.
I could have it, either I could
carve it into it, like an inset, or I could
just glue it on.
Preferably insert, would be better.
A glued inset, maybe.
Right, sure. I can have that
fixed. What do you want
it to be removable in case...
No, this wand doesn't have to be removable.
Cool.
Cool, I'll sell you this
fixed wand and
fix it for 60.
Yeah, sure, that works. I have Batana.
That's...
As I said, a figurine of wonder's power.
I think that's it, actually.
If you're looking for Pegasus.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, it was in your inventory until today,
Morus. Then I threw it away, because I didn't want to spoil it.
And the commander
is here. So I wrote
a note on it, but
since I threw it away, it's gone.
Tweak bar.
Song.
Good.
Well, feel free to come back if you need
anything. Absolutely.
I'll be any day. Not any time, but
any day. Thanks so much.
Except for in a car. In a car.
Weekends, you know. Right, have a good day.
Have a good day, sir. Bye.
This is Agatha
you met in Sundance.
Oh shit, that's the woman Ant
nearly killed.
They nearly killed Agatha?
Oh, you know her?
I just briefly met at the
temple.
Wait, at the temple? So she's like a priestess or
something? I think she was like
didn't really catch it. I was
leaving when she arrived, but
yeah, it seemed like she was just
like on a missionary mission or
something.
What? No, just
yeah, it's embarrassing.
No, no, no, no, that's not
that's not what I, no.
Okay, this we need to hear.
Let's go grab a beer. Come on.
I'm just going through them.
You're going through them?
Yeah.
And then I go inside.
Oh, she's also going.
Let's see, maybe
let's see what they are.
You wanted to see them?
When you turned away from the Dragonborn and turned in,
you saw them walking in the same direction.
Yeah, I just saw something.
Oh, hi.
Did you have a good day today?
Sorry, I heard you were
almost attacked by a friend of mine.
I'm very sorry on their behalf.
They're just a bit skittish.
I'm very sorry about that.
I was just, I was not aware of different
like
I understand it's not easy
always to free them.
And they're not very
good at giving signs,
you know. So we're
working on it and they're getting better.
But yeah. Are they okay?
I'm pretty sure they're okay.
Okay, good, good.
What's your name? Are you okay?
Yes, my name is Agatha.
I'm a follower of
Mohammed. I'm on my first missionary
mission.
Yeah, sorry. These are my friends. This is Apolline
and this is Sally. Very nice to meet you.
Hi, lovely to meet you.
Hi, Anne. Sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not.
Very kind of you to
try to de-escalate.
Yeah, no worries.
What are you doing?
You don't look quite like the locals.
Well, different things.
We helped out in the mines recently.
So we're
local heroes, you could say.
I mean, that's a bit of a stretch,
but like starting
adventures maybe. Are we adventures
now?
So you're doing good things for
good reasons. Yeah, sure.
Oh, nice.
Sure. I'm so happy
for you.
I'm doing good
things as well and I was
just recently told actually by the
mayor that I shouldn't go alone.
Actually, that's a good idea. Like me and Ant were
traveling alone for a while before we found
these people and also
Lisanne, which is a wonderful friend.
I mean, you don't have to make a
decision. I'm headed to the
in over there.
We can maybe have a
cup of tea.
Why don't you join us for dinner?
Do you have friends
here in the city? No, I came here.
Well, then you should definitely join us for dinner.
Thank you so much. Honestly, we probably
owe dinner for
you. Don't worry about
it.
Let's see if we can find Ant
and Lisanne again.
I wonder what they are doing.
So, they're
at the stables? Yes.
I'm wondering
if they have a horse
carriage. We drive around the city so
we can sit behind them.
Twist.
Sightseeing bus. That's what we did
on day four.
If they don't have it, I should
say fix it.
Can you give me
an investigation check?
Are you going to get
your hint?
Oh, there's a horse coming.
15. It was almost 19.
Plus 9, 6.
15 is enough to
see
a small carriage
with room for maybe
four of them with
a pretty generic
car.
There's a
sign on the side.
Daily Soren Tour.
Hello.
Can we
have a tour with you on the
horse? Of course.
It's only
a hop on, hop off.
We want to
exit at the
stone troll.
Quite close.
I could do like a
around.
Do you want the
around the
harbor or around the rich district?
Harbor or rich district.
Harbor.
Very cool.
Okay, hop on and
we'll get on our way.
Thank you.
This is
a Diasco learning.
So, we are
currently in the Windwell district
of Soren. The entrance of
town, quite
well, we have
highly standing, lowly standing people
mostly lowly standing
here, but quite nice
district either way, I would say.
But these people don't look so short.
They look normal height.
Yes, they do.
They are, yeah.
Why is it called the short district?
It's called Windwell.
The district's called
Windwell.
Is it where windy have?
Well, it can be. It's kind of outside the walls
and you have the wind blowing around the lakes
and there's not too much forest around here
in Soren, so it could be some wind.
Lovely.
We are going to the cusp of the Great Star district,
the main inner wall
area of Soren.
We're going to swoop around here to the
reft. Why is there a wall?
Walls are for protection.
Against what?
Monsters,
armies, hopefully not armies,
but any
protection.
Bad guys.
Keeper bad guys.
Who's coming up?
Passing into the docks here, we have
a couple of fun places. This is the main
harbour. Here we have the water's window.
I would say, actually, maybe
my favourite tavern here.
It's quite cool.
Basements of water, window, everything.
We have some famous
artists from here.
Mira Gerridoft.
Not sure if you've heard of her work.
No.
Quite famous painter.
Well, she used to
grow up in this house here, and then she
later worked at this small
part-time apothecary.
Passing through, well,
we have...
Yes, we're on tour.
And you're still on tour.
Sitting around.
Ask questions.
How can one get famous by painting
houses?
Well, it's sort of with the design,
and you keep talking about
different ways you can draw
and paint.
Mira was mainly
an oil painter.
I'm not an oil painter.
I explained to Alexander
that I didn't.
I see.
Yes.
After the tour, before
we go into
the docks.
Ine.
You said
you missed
the bear.
Yes.
I have seen...
I have seen people
have something
like this.
Yes!
Alexander doesn't know what to do.
It looks
awkward.
Thank
you so much.
I would like to give you
a hug, but I know you don't like contact.
I would not like a hug.
Let's have a
nod.
Thank you.
Oh, this was
so funny.
She touched
me without...
contact.
Yes.
I told her not to, but she...
I did not try
to be touched.
I went around.
Yes.
If we meet her, I can talk to her.
I am not going to talk to her.
No, I can help you
talk to her if you need to.
You can stand in front
and be the shield.
I can be the shield.
I can be the shield.
You stand up without standing up.
Sean stands around you.
Three of you.
And he gives you...
a gold ring.
For the tower.
Thank you.
I hope you learned something.
What does the
horse eat?
Hey, carrots.
Do you want the carrots?
I have none.
You can have a carrot here.
You may.
The advantage for you to have nuts.
Thank you.
Okay, that's
a 50.
Thank you.
Thank you, Luigi, Thailand.
No.
No.
No.
No, no.
No.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is a ballad.
I hope you eat a horse, a carrot
and a bat.
No.
We can move on.
This is my copilot.
You move on
into Stan's show where
a real conversation has taken place.
And then, you know, after we
cleared the two first rooms and having to
pry open the doors, stand like
in the middle of the room, and then we saw like
you could just press the fucking sigil.
I felt so stupid.
Oh, wow.
Well, it sounded like you did
a heroic job at
getting to the bottom of it.
I mean, yeah, it was
fun to actually like
feeling like a proper adventure, you know.
Yeah.
Still starting out with this.
Wow. So you're like starting to
feel like heroes.
That's so cool.
I wouldn't stretch
that far yet, but, you know,
who knows?
And you've been on the road for
how, two weeks?
Yeah, not very long. I just went from
Anemur.
That's awesome. I just helped people along
the way.
There was actually like a
farm that was attacked by a wolf.
Oh, no. So, yeah, but I
was at the right place at the right time and I had my
sword and my shield in it.
And then, and then
I mean, I'm so
I'm almost giddy.
After that, I
could start to heal people.
It was crazy.
Ahamed has actually blessed me
with powers.
So how do you heal? How does it work?
What do you do?
Well,
just like the guidance
that I gave, for example,
I have to
be in contact, for example, touch
my shoulder
or something like that.
And then I just channel Bahamud's
energy and
well, it differs from time to time, but usually
it heals quite a lot, actually.
Okay.
So you have to touch.
Yes.
Okay, so that's different.
Can you show us?
Yes, sure. I don't know if anyone is hurt
at the moment.
No, with the guidance.
Yes, so I just like, like this.
You are loved.
You say that.
Those exact words.
No, no, no. I can
say other things.
I'm so sorry.
But I just
say some reassuring
words. But how does it
you have your connection
with your God?
How does that feel? How do you
channel that?
It feels amazing.
I don't quite know.
I think, like, in
my case, I just
I did something good.
It was
in Bahamud's
honor. And then
he was pleased
somehow.
It's taken me
400 years and I'm so happy.
400 years of service.
Well, yes. Yes, I grew
up with it. I've been a committed
follower of
Bahamud since I was born.
But I haven't been out
adventuring. That's like
to really
walk in Bahamud's shoes.
You really have to be
out there and do good deeds.
You have to get the needed
experience to sort of
be able to achieve these kinds of results.
But that's different
from going to God's.
The horse was so
nice. It was nice.
And the new feet fed it.
Yes. Oh, hi, Ant. You're back.
Should I...
I'm once again
so sorry. Is there something I can do
to make things better?
Yes.
Is there anything I can do?
I understand you're part of this
party and...
You know how we talk about
saying sorry for...
Why? No, no, I'm not
saying.
When somebody has apologized,
you also accept their apology.
Do you remember we talked about this?
Do I have to?
I think you should, yeah.
She didn't mean
you any harm.
Fine.
There's no rush
either. We can...
No, no, it's okay.
Ant?
What?
Ant.
Yes, that is my name.
I accept your apology.
I said fine.
I have to say it too hard.
Fine.
I accept your apology.
I?
Accept your
apology.
I'm very grateful.
It will not happen again, I assure you.
No.
Come on, let's just sit down, okay?
Ant, I put inside
some cheese for your mouse.
I know you don't eat, but you just...
Thank you.
Look at this.
Oh, that's so cute.
Oh my god, that's adorable.
Gave the sender a gift?
Yes.
He's very comfortable with you.
Yes, he did the
fancy spell.
With all the things
falling.
It was a sleep spell.
It was really cool.
Just the dispersion.
It was so even.
I was really happy with it.
But you said
something about not going alone.
What was that about?
Not going alone.
Yes, I was just...
I talked to the mayor and
I want to do some good around here.
And as
she said, I shouldn't go alone.
She was talking a lot about
how the mines have affected the locals
and also the frogs. Have you heard
about the frogs?
Yes, because
the fishing industry has been
having a lot of difficulty lately
because of some angry frogs.
Small frogs?
I think they're large.
I did not ask.
Large frogs?
No.
Like how large?
Are you talking like giant?
I don't know.
Giant frog.
They can make like frog legs?
Frogs too?
No, no, no.
I don't think we should
hurt the frogs.
What if we...
I thought they were
the fishing people
who had the frogs.
Oh, no, no, no.
The fishing people fish, fish.
And the frogs are in the way, I think.
How are they in the way?
I think they're attacking.
With weapons?
Have you heard about intelligent frogs?
Or are we just talking like bites
and biting people?
Yes, they were talking about that
these are not regular frogs.
They're behaving a bit more like people.
So maybe we should try to
talk to them.
They don't speak common.
Sounds interesting to
at least check out what's going on.
Have you heard about this before, Appelin?
Intelligent frogs with weapons.
Have I heard about...
You can roll something.
Nature, maybe?
You can roll something too.
I don't know much about nature.
Is there weird frogs in the jungle?
Maybe?
Thirteen?
What do you want?
Nature.
Nature.
I don't think so.
Five.
How many can you roll?
That's up to you.
Thirteen.
You have heard
about something called
a grung.
Which is a small
aggressive frog-like
humanoid type of species.
You know they have different colors
and a type of throwing system.
But you don't know
why they would be
attacking the city.
Well, you have grungs
that are kind of frog-like,
I guess.
But they're an intelligent species
though, different
from us.
Do you know what language they speak?
I have no idea.
I don't think they speak
a lot of common.
But would it be possible to cast
speak with animals?
I think they would be considered
people,
not animals.
So I don't think that would work.
You need spells that could translate
into their language.
We made small drawings
asking them
why they're here.
Can we have languages if anyone has that?
Not right now.
Someone in the town should be able to.
Could we make it clear that
if they keep being aggressive,
they will be hurt?
I think
that's a good
goal there
if we need to, but I don't think
we should start there.
They're threatening
the fishing industry, and that's
the second biggest
people are losing their jobs.
Why are they threatening it?
They can't fish if they're angry
frogs.
I get the fishermen.
Why is this a problem
now? Has this always been a thing?
Or has something happened
that suddenly made them
react?
In that case, we're in trouble.
In that case, we know
what to do.
What do you mean?
Kill them all.
Have you heard about the gases?
I just heard that it had infected
the minds, but I didn't hear any specifics.
No, it was pretty bad. The gas sort of
affects the body.
We've seen
some pretty gnarly stuff.
Skin changes.
I don't even know
what to call it. It's a mutate, I guess.
They sort of lose
their mind, not really people anymore.
And they're thinking of reopening
the minds?
Yes.
Try having a chat with them.
I think we would obviously see
if they're affected because they get
infected.
It's very gnarly.
If they're
infected, we wouldn't be able to see that.
Is it impossible to heal it?
When I talked
to Sabrina, some of the miners who
were affected by it
but not yet
as the ones we saw
at the bottom of the mine.
I think there are several stages to it.
She said they were healing alright,
so I don't know in what sense
you need to heal them.
I think it's even that they're not
put down, but it takes a long time.
But it's possible.
Okay, so how do you know
what stage they are
and when are you...
I don't know.
When they start running towards us
and, you know,
attempt to kill us
and we have a pretty
clear sign.
I can make them sleep.
And then, hopefully
we can stop them.
And then just help them.
That was just
a proposition
from my side since
it seems like one of the big things we can do
for the community.
Do we get money?
Probably?
You can ask the mayor.
It would help
for our part. I mean, we kind of need
to fund our
expeditions, you know?
Yeah, you usually don't get donations
along the way.
Donations?
Yes, from like, when people...
Yeah, you don't wear many symbols.
I guess.
No.
Well, followers of Bahamut are always
happy to see like
a paladin or a cleric
along the way.
But if we want to stay for a couple more days for the festival...
Oh, yeah, it's a festival.
I actually have a...
I have a like
appointment, I was about to say.
But yeah, I have a thing to do with
Lady Spirina tomorrow at noon.
I'm going to try a
ritual of some sort. See if we can
hopefully talk to my wife.
Do you want company?
I'll think about it, I think.
I'll let you know.
Yes.
No, but why don't we
look into the situation? That couldn't hurt, right?
Yeah. I just need to do
that tomorrow and then...
We'll do your thing and then we can
have a late morning
finally. That would be good.
One night.
Sleeping.
Yeah.
I'm so happy I found you guys.
Real adventures. I mean...
Wow.
I'm so happy.
I'm not gonna...
I like that you guys
are not like ants.
Like this one.
But it's interesting...
The ant is sitting on the end of the table.
What do you think?
And tell me if you need any
encouragement or any healing
or anything. I'm just
so happy I can do this.
A healer when we
are out adventuring,
that would be pretty cool.
Healing is kind of difficult.
I mean, I wouldn't know.
I can barely do anything.
No, you do your
pew pew.
Can I ask
you a favor?
You pray every day, right?
Or commune,
meditate,
something like that.
Well, I meditate as an elf.
But as a follower
of Bahamut specifically,
praying and
stuff like that isn't
that important actually.
The important thing is
doing good deeds and being
a protector
of the weak people around.
So...
I kind of
pray in like
helping people, if that makes sense.
So each time I give
guidance to someone or
heal someone, that is my connection
to Bahamut.
Right.
Are you...
No,
that's fine.
Are you a believer yourself?
In Bahamut, no. Well,
sorry. No, no, no.
I mean, I've gone to the
Bahamut a few times when I was a child.
Which temple? Bahamut?
Or the
Donfather maybe?
Bahamut.
Yeah, just
for some of the bigger...
Yeah,
not really recently.
Let me see.
But it just seems
I mean, when you do magic,
you have your spells and you have
your components, right?
It just seems so vague,
like just
doing good deeds.
Seems like it works.
You have your magic, but
how? Why?
Why does it work like that?
You can try to just feel your way to it.
I've tried.
Are you following some other
god?
Yeah,
I follow Avandra.
Do I have any religion
or maybe I do?
You have a good knowledge of
Avandra. Lady Luck.
Essentially.
Yeah.
Known as a person who helps
people without a particular style.
And very popular among
the poor, I would say.
Good at turning one's mind.
I see. Oh, that's really interesting.
Yeah.
So, do you know much about her yourself?
No.
I've read a little bit.
And she's cool.
I mean.
Yeah.
But it...
I don't understand
this connection with the spells
and the...
and the goddess.
Like...
Yeah.
Do I know anything about
what the practice is
around Avandra?
Religion check, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
This one is
proficient.
I had to be...
I mean,
I'm sure it will come to me eventually.
Wait, wait, wait.
Eleven.
Mm.
I see.
Is it
hard to feel the connection?
Yes.
How did you...
How did you find her?
Well...
She found
me.
I see. That's really special.
Is it? Yes.
Doesn't it...
It must feel like you've been seen,
like you've been understood,
like your situation.
I mean, she's trying to put you back
on the right path.
That's really inspiring.
Yeah.
Well, when you put it that way,
maybe.
Yeah, I just...
I don't know how...
if I'm supposed to
follow her exactly how.
Oh, what that should be.
I mean, it would be easy if someone just told me
oh, every morning for ten minutes
you recite these words and you
close your eyes
or write down this spell
and say the thing and
have the components, that would be fine.
It's not like that. It's not like that at all.
What powers has she given you
so far?
Well...
I can turn invisible.
Wow!
Very short
amount of time. Cool.
Have you ever thought about
the intent you put when you do
magic? Because usually
it's not enough to say the words
and wait for the one.
Because otherwise everybody would be able to do it, right?
So, if you
don't mean the words that you say
then usually
that's the big reason why spells
fail, because you don't
put the...
I don't know, you don't push
the spell through.
Yeah, I had some...
I've had some dreams
about her
and... That's amazing!
Do you want to share?
Sure. I've had
personal dreams of vomit.
Well, I feel like mostly
she told me to
to do the right thing.
So, I guess you're right. I should just
heal people and do good
in the world.
You're taking care of your
friends and you have this amazing
power of getting invisible.
When you get invisible, don't you feel
that...
What was the name? Evandra.
Evandra is there and
cloaking you.
Yeah, sure.
The recital of prayers and stuff
like that, does it feel like
that's what you should do?
No. Then that's absolutely
not what you're gonna do.
I may be
a bit
free-thinker with these things, but
my experience
with gods that are
worth interacting with is that
it comes from the heart.
Well, it makes sense.
It's...
similar to what Lady Sabrina
told me, right?
She's amazing. She probably...
She's a wise woman, I think.
Absolutely.
Yeah. We'll see how it
pans out. I mean,
it took some time for you to get your
connection, right? So...
But now you're on the right track.
No, no, no!
You're on a mission now. You have a
goal, everything.
I don't know if it was any
help, but...
No, it was helpful.
I think you're gonna have an amazing progression.
We're gonna...
Probably, hopefully, not fight
some... frogs.
Well, so far
sort of intense
situations have helped
my connection, so
maybe that's
the way to go.
Sounds like Evandra and
we've met a lot of...
a lot in common.
I assume that.
Should we plan
to meet at
Stansdorf at 1.30-2
or so? So that you get time for your
stuff. And then we'll
go and
take a look at the frogs the next day.
We're gonna watch the evening.
We're gonna sit down for a bit.
I'm gonna ask everyone
about their dreams and dreams.
So basically, the whole day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
It's gonna be quiet
the whole time.
While you're sitting there,
a child comes up
and starts playing a song.
Ooh.
So...
Right, so...
I'm going to play a song about
the silver barbs, everybody!
Not sure if you've heard of them, but
here we go!
I got the...
I got the...
I got the...
I got the...
I got the...
I got the...
Agatha goes to get a new cup of tea and goes like tripping a little away and just
You're doing great!
Thank you, thank you! I'll be taking tips and I'll go back to the normal repertoire and then I'll go back to the
And I'll go back to the normal repertoire now.
I'll give him five self-taught tips.
Thank you.
I have very red face.
Agatha.
I see that the lights are red. I don't know if the lights are on.
I'll charge the light.
Okay.
Did we learn any of the songs that could be useful?
You're saying the world is like taking a poop. Let's go.
No, I mean, if you hadn't thought that there was something useful in the world.
There was probably something.
So I can read the text he said, because you probably didn't understand everything.
Though they had debts to pay, round them coin rolled away, taking what jobs they found, traveling all around.
In taverns at evenings they drank their mead, to Feywild they traveled and battled the sheed.
Through city and town they would travel by day, at night many monsters they faced and did slay.
And the conclusion is that the world is like taking a little trip to the toilet.
And then I just went in and said, okay, we'll take this one take and we don't care which chords we play.
No.
That was the best part.
So I was like, okay, which tone do I sing there? Okay, then we'll take that chord and just...
So it was a really good job.
Creative.
So that was a little extra bit.
You can send me the recording of it so I can put it in the video.
I can do that.
I can do that and then I can put it on stage with the audience.
Yes, then it goes to the evening.
To take some money, it was a tavern for the day.
It looked like it.
Yes, it will be 5 SEK per bed.
And 3 SEK for food.
It's a bit like food.
I pay...
It's a bit dependent on each person, but I just take it modest.
5 plus 3, you said?
Yes, 8 SEK per person.
How do you manage the money in...
Inventory.
For those who live wealthy, it can be increased, but I don't think it's a good idea.
I also took salicylic acid.
It's SB, right?
Silver.
Yes, silver is SB.
You wake up the next day again.
I had the band in bed.
In the middle of the night...
Inventory.
Can we just start to hear?
Did Ant say anything on the call when we woke up?
Ant had definitely been angry.
I think you would have noticed, because Ant had just absolutely not spoken at all.
How are you doing, Ant?
I'm in the bedroom with my brother.
Yes.
I'm in the bedroom with my brother.
I'm in the bedroom with my brother.
I'm in the bedroom with my brother.
Yes.
Not great.
Will you explain?
Well, there is a new person.
Which we now are going to go around kill frogs with.
And?
And?
It took...what?
I was there.
Two minutes.
And I then decided that it should be known to the table that I don't eat.
Yeah, I noticed as well.
I tried to move on as quickly as possible to hope it weren't noticed.
So I don't feel great giving these people more information.
I'll have a chat with them.
I'll have a chat with them.
And I can understand your upset, because I heard what happened.
You know.
From Sally.
You know, I think I understood the situation anyways.
But if you would like to tell me your side of it, I'm open ears.
She followed me.
She followed me and decided it was okay to touch me as I told her not to.
Yeah.
I did not run into her.
I walked around.
Yeah.
I can say it's a bit, you know, it's also what happened when I met her in the temple.
She also gave me, you know.
How do I tell people that it's not okay to touch me without having to tell everyone I meet that that is a bad idea?
Yeah, that is a hard one, especially for people who insist, you know, on physical contact.
But I don't think pulling a dagger, which I assume you did.
I tried to shove her.
She did not let go.
Okay, yeah, that is.
Instead of, you know, escalating the situation and yelling, it could be easier to try to stay calm and just, could you please let go of me?
And try to stay calm because when you burst out like that, it's harder to actually have reaction for them as well, or they will act more unpredictably.
But asking someone simply, please, could you let go of me?
Might just result in them just letting you be.
I can try.
Try. If they do not let me go, I will cut off the arm.
Also, you know, a second warning that if you don't let me go, I will remove your arm.
And, you know, at that point, I'm not going to be mad at you if you end up doing that.
But, you know, you should give them a fair warning.
And, you know, starting yelling from the first second is not a good idea.
It's not bad communication.
Yes, but I don't like it.
I understand, but we are dealing with other people and other people are also hard.
And sadly, that's how most people are.
So we kind of have to adapt to how, you know, it would be easier if everybody just understood each other all the time.
But when that's not the case.
Yes, or they could ask.
It should be hard.
They could, but they won't.
No, so I don't ask when I touch them back.
We're trying to be the good example here, you know.
Be better than them.
I don't see why.
Why wouldn't you?
Very few people have been good to me.
Yeah.
And so far, the list is one person and you and Lisanne.
Maybe I believe under consideration.
Yeah.
So maybe I don't feel like giving everybody a shot at touching me or removing arms or things or dismantling what they cannot do.
I'm done talking now.
That's okay.
I'll come to you and say it again.
No.
I want to do something before I go to bed.
Lisanne has an idea.
He has a real frustration for Ant.
So he goes down to the kitchen and asks.
Hello, what's the most smelly item you have here in the kitchen?
What?
I think I know exactly what we have.
He picks up a green plastic bag.
Another sort of plastic bag.
He picks up a paper bag.
This is a bit out of date.
Is this?
Yes, thank you.
I take that and find some string and some thread and some thread.
No, thread.
I take out everything that's slimey.
I'm not going to bring any.
But everything that's dry but smells bad.
I pack it in the bag.
It's a bit of a fibrous powder.
Yes, and a bit like fish head.
I knead it and make a sort of throat amulet.
Oh wow.
No, this is my sperm pouch.
I wonder, is it so late that I'm sure that the others are sleeping?
If you want, you can wait for them.
No, it's more like, is it too late to bank on it?
No, I'm banking on Ant and Ike's room.
Ant, are you up?
Yes.
I have something for you.
Okay.
Open the door.
If you don't want people to come close to you, you can hold this in front of them.
This smells bad.
Interesting.
Could we please not have it in the room?
You get to smell it and I do not.
I would call it people repellent.
That's very accurate.
Amulet of proof against people.
Great.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good night.
Good night.
The cell phone.
I was going to lay down.
We could literally not have that in the room.
Please.
I can go outside.
No.
Not what I meant, but it's working.
It's a big air room.
I might want a bag that's airtight.
No, no, no.
No, I'm banking on Ant.
Oh my god.
I'm going to switch to something that I broke last time.
No.
I'm just going to lay it out on the side.
Is there anything we can do before we lay it down?
I have something before we lay it down.
While we two are in our room.
Sally, if you ever need to practice spells, you can practice on me if you need to.
I know, I just...
See, I can touch you.
Intense.
Nothing happens.
I don't know what...
Faker seems like Avandra likes me for whatever reason.
If there is an emergency, maybe I can call on her help then.
It's worked before, might work again.
Emergencies can work great for you to make magic in general.
It took me years before I was able to cast a spell, and the one time I actually managed a pretty powerful spell was in an emergency.
So, yeah, desperate times.
And either way, I'm doing okay without it, so...
It's more that I feel like...
I mean, magic would be cool, I wouldn't mind having it, but I also...
I...
I'm not like you, I never tried to get magic, to study magic.
Yeah, it seems cool, but it doesn't feel like my thing.
I would be happy just, you know, shooting a thing, so I'm doing well without it.
But I feel like I...
Like Agatha said, it seems rare that the gods take an interest or actually reply, make themselves available to you.
So I feel like I should repay her, repay Avandra in some way.
Are you in... Are you downstairs as well?
I'm in the room.
I think you're in the room, yeah.
So it's... And if that comes with more magic, that would be great, that would be amazing, but I'm not sure that's...
All of what I'm trying to get.
If that makes sense.
No, I think it makes sense, I think.
Why do you think she chose you?
No, you're totally worth it.
It's a fair question, it's a fair question, and I have no idea.
To be honest, I asked several of the gods.
I asked Bahamut, I mean, I've been to his temples, I've never been to a temple of Avandra.
Bahamut didn't answer.
None of the others did.
Avandra did.
Don't know what she wants with me.
I assume it's something.
You don't get something for nothing, right?
No, you can get something for nothing sometimes.
Don't think you get magical powers for nothing.
I guess.
We'll see, we'll see how it turns out, but I think, I don't think this is the worst way to go about it.
Trying to help people, I mean, seems to work out for Agatha.
She seems very nice.
And I think, it seems like you're learning as well.
Yes, things have been going surprisingly well since.
You're a progress, I mean, you're doing really cool spells.
Not really, no.
It's very basic stuff.
I completely watched the healing spell, it didn't work.
It didn't work.
Well, maybe it's something to live for the divine people.
Well, maybe you'll be able to do it.
That will be, I mean, that's maybe the only thing I really, really want from her.
It would be, someday we're not going to have ads standing in front of the bad guy.
So it would be good to have, yeah, to have that as a plan B.
We'll see.
I mean, I'll keep asking Avendra and I'll try to do, do good, I guess.
No, as long as you follow your own path, right?
Yeah, sure, why not?
I don't think Apolline knew what she said.
All right, I'm getting pretty tired and I plan on sleeping a lot.
So good night.
Good night.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Nine.
Okay.
You can do it.
Apolline.
You are back at the university.
No, it wasn't me who rolled out.
Start over.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I can do it.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Whoa.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Apolline.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Where are you?
I don't know.
I'm up here, but you have to go now.
Now?
Now.
Okay.
Alexander?
Alexander?
What's happening?
What's happening?
I don't know.
Run!
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay.
I think we need to jump.
There.
I don't know.
There's an open window.
Jump?
Yeah.
I'm holding it.
Alexander?
You're still panicking.
You just feel that I'm jumping.
I'm following you.
It's the same people.
We need to get away.
Nazareth?
Yes, it's the same people.
It's the one that attacked us.
My mother was there.
I heard her.
Are we even awake?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Are we even awake?
What's this?
We need to hide somewhere.
I don't know.
What time is it?
Is it early in the morning?
Is it late at night?
What time is it?
I'm going out of my room and knocking on Alexander's door.
Unnaturally fast.
Open the door.
Because his wardrobe is just going out.
What's this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
What happened?
I don't know.
Did you also see that?
Yes.
What was that?
I don't know.
But it seems like something intertwined.
Hi.
Two seconds.
I'm going back to my room.
I'm going to pick up my book.
I'm going to take it back.
Nethers.
Nethers.
I have a ballad to learn.
See it?
Yes.
It's written in Swedish.
But for some reason you manage to crack it.
Nethers.
Here.
Those people.
That's...
I think...
I think we need to speak with my aunt.
Yeah.
What does it...
I don't know.
It's something bad.
Do you understand anything else?
No.
Well...
Let's just keep this for us.
For now.
And we can look at it tomorrow.
I think we need some sleep.
Or at least...
Yeah.
I don't know.
What do you think?
I don't know what to do.
No.
How...
How was we...
How did we both end up in the same dream?
I don't know.
Or a mission or whatever that was.
When your parents...
When that whole thing happened, did you...
Was there also a fog?
No.
No fog?
Just...
But I ran up the tower and I jumped out the window.
Oh.
And I could fly.
Exactly like the dream.
I don't know what this was.
Because the fog happened to me.
Okay.
I don't like this.
No.
I don't like this either.
I don't know what that was.
But I assume this is connected.
Otherwise this wouldn't have happened.
Why don't you talk with my aunt?
Yes.
Let's...
Let's do that.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Here then, come take us.
And then we'll go back to the room.
Smelling faintly of...
Shit.
I haven't stolen a gun yet.
I was watching...
I can't get it on.
I don't think it's very bad.
Are you going to wake up the next morning?
I'm going to take this up here early.
And put on some armor.
And sit down and try to talk to people who eat breakfast.
Also, you say you're a farmer nearby.
Oh, right.
I have a farm quite south of here.
So quite a nice, quiet place, I think.
So exciting.
What are you growing?
Fertage, though.
Nice.
Committed.
That's...
Quite a versatile crop, I'd say.
Absolutely.
You can make so much from it.
Mm.
It's too...
Early in the morning.
Early in the morning?
It's 8.20.
Okay, I'll have more told in.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you going to good night's sleep?
Yeah, I'm pretty okay.
How about you?
Yeah, absolutely.
I've slept so well.
Pretty okay in to stay at, right?
Pretty okay in to stay at.
Yes, absolutely.
Probably way better than the wet whistle and...
There's a place called the wet whistle around here?
Yes, the mayor talked about it.
She didn't say much, but...
Alright.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
I understand.
It's a joke.
It's a joke.
Well...
Yeah, I'm staying here instead of...
I was just hearing about the potatoes grown locally.
Yeah, you're a farmer.
I am, yeah.
Cool.
Are you a farmer?
I've worked odd jobs most of my life, so...
I've worked in farms for a bit, yeah.
Alright.
Potatoes.
Potatoes.
So, yeah.
I love potatoes.
Can you stuff anything?
Boiling mashed potatoes.
Boiling mashed potatoes.
Just trying to get to know what happens in the town and how everything works.
Right, right.
Yeah, I'm going to grab some breakfast again.
Good idea.
I'll get my...
Thank you so much for...
Of course, of course.
I'm from Germany, because I live where they live.
I haven't been there before.
The guy is dressing up and going into the kitchen.
Alright, so shipment, okay.
For sure.
Alright.
See you in a couple days then.
Yeah, I'll probably do that.
That's doing nice.
Local potatoes.
Are there any others that are awake at this time of the day?
No.
No, they're awake.
They're not going down to breakfast.
I think she's getting close to eight.
I think she's maybe up before...
Yeah, I think she's sleeping as long as she can.
Yeah.
Eight and a half, nine...
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Another black coffee, please.
Thanks.
It's the nicest thing you've ever done for me.
Are you sensing tension?
I try, I try.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's got off on the wrong foot and everything.
I see.
I mean, probably not as bad as me and Ant, I guess.
No, you know, in comparison, we're best friends.
Yeah.
I feel so stupid still.
It's horrible.
I woke up also with like the feeling of...
I don't know how to make it up to them.
Has there been anything like this before?
How does one resolve conflicts with Ant?
No, I haven't known them for that long
that I really know them in and out like that.
I don't know.
I think they need time and space where they feel safe, you know?
Okay, so I should just keep a distance for now.
Yeah, please not push too much, I guess.
But, you know, be nice around them, I guess.
And no physical contact, obviously.
Yes.
No physical contact.
Don't ask them any questions.
Don't stand too close.
Don't look them in the eye.
The whole list is mostly don'ts.
You know, when you put it like this, it sounds absolutely horrible.
Are there any other pet peeves in the team?
Like does Apolline get angry if she gets the wrong tea?
I don't know, I'm trying to come up with.
The rest of us are fine.
Okay.
I haven't noticed any...
Lysander is also quite okay with everything.
Just a lot of questions usually as well.
That's no problem.
With Lysander?
Yeah.
He can take it.
Yeah.
I see.
I'm so excited for the adventures today and for your ritual.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to stop by and just ask if she needs anything more.
Do you need any help from us?
I'll let you know.
I think I'm going to stop by myself first and just find out.
It's a bit touchy, to be honest.
Is Lady Sabrina going to do it?
Yeah.
She said she would like to try, at least.
She talked about probably a good idea would be to go to a larger temple eventually.
But it's a start, we'll see.
I would just like to know that she's somewhere good in her afterlife.
Well, I mean, she probably is, I would assume.
I think so as well.
Unless she did some horrible things while she was alive, why wouldn't she?
I mean, we weren't like pure religious sort, you know?
But everybody needs to live.
Most people aren't going to live in a temple and do good deeds every day.
No offense.
It's good that some people do, but most people won't.
And if that's enough for you to spend eternity in some sort of hell, then I mean...
Hell must be an awesome place.
Yeah, then there's a lot of good people in hell.
The Dawn Father represents lots of things.
Love included, I would assume.
It sounds like such a nice thing, being young, being in love.
I mean, that's kind of worship in itself.
Yeah, I guess so.
Worship.
To be young and in love.
I think that's about it.
I'm not going to hesitate just to get into it.
I'm thinking about how she might have found out about it.
If there's anything I can do about it.
Okay, you go to the house and talk to little Sabrina.
Right, so I think I've done most of the preparations for today.
We...
It was a bit more than I thought it would be, but I can waive most of it,
because I know of the good you've done for this city.
And you seem like an interesting fellow.
I appreciate it, so I'll happily pay my dues, you know.
The materials will be around 50 gold.
I think we can scrape together some.
I don't have 50 gold on me right now, but...
How much do you have on you?
All right, we bought armor.
Like, five gold maybe at a moment.
Hold on.
I'll be back.
I could maybe do it for 35.
Okay.
If you can't afford more.
But I will need something to cover the cost.
Of course.
I'm going to go through the box to Tavern.
How did it go?
Preparations are in order.
A bit more expensive for the material costs and stuff.
I have four gold.
Are you sure? You don't need to...
Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In worst case, I'll go hungry for two, three days.
No, no, don't make sure.
I don't think that will happen.
Usually, I get donations. It's fine.
I think Polina is awake at this point.
You're back from... How much do you need?
Well, 50 gold is the actual cost of the materials and stuff for the ritual.
How much do you need?
Well, I have about 10 gold on me now.
So, 40?
Yeah.
I'll take 40 gold.
Oh.
You're taking it?
Yes.
From my bank?
No, but...
I believe that's not all you have though, right?
You have... No, we still have some, but yeah.
Okay.
That's important. This is important to you, right?
Yeah.
Take it.
I'm going to pay you back, you know?
Take it.
Thank you.
I'll pay you back still.
Okay.
I guess I'll see you later.
Hi, Ante, how are you?
Nope.
Just going to go and check up on Ante, I don't think they left the room yet.
Yeah.
It's open now.
Yes.
Are you just going to...
I know it was a door, but...
It's probably not like that.
It sounded like it was going to be a door.
It was in the bedroom.
Maybe.
Would you like to join me for the ritual?
Sure.
Thanks.
Okay, let's go.
Are we staying here tonight?
Or are we going basis?
Sleeping outside?
I don't know.
I think we should plan that when we come back here.
Yes, of course.
I will not bring the tent.
You bought a tent?
Yes.
When did you buy...
I and Sally bought the tent.
Oh, I bought it.
Sally was there.
Well, fair enough.
Cool.
Humanoid sleeps in tents.
Both you and Lysander was without a tent.
Well, you bought for me and Lysander, not us two.
I can stand.
I mean, fair enough.
But, you know, let's get another tent at some point.
Just because, you know, if we want to go incognito, you know, it's better to just have three tents.
Three tents.
Is it not less obvious with two tents?
I guess so, but also, you know, two tents and then just you standing there.
I can stand inside.
Or sit inside.
I don't think standing...
I don't think you standing in the room is kind of...
I can hold it up.
Just like that.
I'll get it back.
If I have my head, I have 49 gold.
Plus...
Almost a gold piece of silver and copper.
Put it in the donation box for me.
Yeah, of course.
Would you like to put it there over there, Alice?
Sure.
One.
Two.
That's nice.
Lysander, Lysander, Lysander.
This is her wedding band, if you need a personal item.
Thank you.
Only for a minute.
Yeah.
Okay, so in terms of specifics, I've read through here and I think I can do this.
I decided against the other plane spell.
It was risky.
Okay.
But we can do a tent of communion.
Yeah.
So you will...
Would you also like to join in the experience?
Or what would I have to do?
Nothing. You can be a silent observer if you want.
Yes.
Will it help?
That is up to Ant.
No.
That is up to you.
Whether he believes you will be...
I will help.
Moral assistance.
So I will be the mediator of this.
Translator, maybe.
And you will be allowed to ask three questions with some sort of response.
I haven't really attempted it this way before.
It will be interesting.
Before we start, could I have a minute by myself?
I think I need time to...
Absolutely.
Phrase three questions if we are successful.
Take the time you need.
We still have a bit to go before the sun is high.
Before high.
Yeah, I will just be outside in the backyard by the willow.
That is also because I personally need time to...
Yes.
So if we have anything in between to do, feel free to do so.
Yes.
There was a group that didn't go to Lady Sabrina in the Sand House.
And they do what?
Lysander is sitting a bit quiet, maybe a bit...
Not scared, but a bit...
He seems a bit more distant than usual.
Yes, I think Pauline also looks a bit like that.
She talks a lot less than she usually does.
She's almost a bit scared.
Did you guys sleep well?
No.
That was fast.
Something special happened?
Yes.
I think so, yeah.
I don't know.
Is there something dangerous here?
Maybe we can take it somewhere else, yeah.
Probably not in the common room here.
Oh, okay.
I just don't want anybody else.
Well, we can go up to the room.
Should we do that?
Yeah.
I think so.
Well, actually, having someone like a divine person
would be actually good here.
Right?
Yeah.
I don't mean to intrude.
No, no.
You're concerning me.
We need some...
Advice, I think.
Yeah.
Go into one of the rooms.
And...
I'm open to describing what happened there.
Yeah.
Something happened to both of you?
We shared a dream.
Oh, you shared a dream?
Yeah.
Her...
Us?
No.
I'm explaining what...
Yeah, summarizing what we saw.
I think we need to talk with my aunt.
She put an aetheris word that appeared in the book.
It was in the context of something with her.
So, um, but she may know something more about that.
I'm assuming it was a dream, but I feel like a dream.
Yeah.
16.
16.
Uh, dreams are always, like, full of symbolism.
Um...
So, there can be a lot that can lie here.
Um...
Try to think through the dream, what it could be.
What it could be.
What it could be.
Um...
Um...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh...
Yeah.
Um...
before they go to bed, or throughout the day,
which has an effect on it.
But since there are two pieces that
not only had the same dream, but
participate in the same dream together,
it seems like there is something more here.
Whether it is a kind of
phenomenon they are connected to,
or a concept phenomenon
that they both feel a strong connection to,
can be one possibility.
It is...
It feels like it's working.
It doesn't seem like there is anything
from the outside that has
come in to give them
this heavy drum.
In a way, it's more like it is...
It's not a deliberate omen, it's just...
There seems to be an impression
that this is more something that came from them.
Ehm...
The fog...
seems a bit like...
a greenhouse.
I understand the symbolism
in the faces.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
It seems like
they are on their way.
Yeah. How far?
Where is Ilora?
Ilora is...
The north west is not that far from the north west.
The other side of the Oesophagus gorge.
We're talking weeks of travel.
Yeah, we can do that.
I mean, we don't have any...
We don't have anything here. We need to do.
We need to talk to your aunt. We'll talk to your aunt.
We can travel there.
See if we can find an airship, go part of the way.
Whatever.
I have experience with hiking.
Great.
Joining people
who are going the same way?
Oh, I thought you said something.
I thought you meant like hacking, like hacking stuff.
No, you take it.
You take it.
And then you...
hack, slash, and stuff.
No, I didn't
kill anyone.
Thank you. I got confused for a second.
My head's not in the right place.
But something seems to be troubling your child.
Well, the dream is pretty troubling.
Yes.
But it probably comes from somewhere.
Did you eat anything last night?
Chocolate.
Oh, please.
Oh, I heard...
Sorry.
It felt oddly real.
Familiar as well.
Yeah.
It was things...
There was things that had happened.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It wasn't comfortable.
Well, from what I hear,
at least it's not like
something immediately threatening,
which I was really concerned about
when you looked so grim.
Well, nothing
wants to kill us immediately, right?
No, that's good.
Yes.
But it's
interesting, and it may
be a bit comforting that you are connected
in some way.
To a common goal?
Or...
This has never happened
before, right? You haven't...
Okay.
I doubt this is a first.
Why is it happening now, though?
Right, here we go.
Yeah, but I...
Back in day,
I sort of had like this...
I could suddenly
have like glimpses of the future
or like this...
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I don't
know how it works.
What did you see?
No, it's not sort of like...
It's more like...
I feel like I can alter
the future.
That sounds very powerful.
Yeah,
but I don't know how to explain it.
It's sort of like...
I just have this feeling
that some
like important
choices or important
stuff is happening and then I can
sort of push it
against like
my favor or against
like I can sort of manipulate
things.
And I think it has something with dreams
to do.
Well, I haven't
had anything like that. No visions
of the future or anything.
Did you hear her as well
in your dream?
I just
after like seeing
you entering this door, that's
the only thing. I could like
hear like footsteps
running, but nothing
else.
And the smoke?
The fog.
What color was it?
White.
I see.
So not like in the caves?
No, no, no.
Not like the purple gas.
It wasn't purple, no.
It just looks like
it looked like fog, but it didn't move like it.
Sort of...
It moved like a fog, but there was
determination.
Like that's the feeling
I got off it. It's not like
it wasn't like a normal one.
Sounds really scary.
Sort of like your bones
freeze a bit when it creeps up you.
Well, I can see that you didn't have a good night's sleep.
Well, maybe a good cup of coffee is
going to help. Oh, yes.
Coffee, please.
Coffee, please.
Find your ants.
We'll figure it out.
And it's a dream. I mean,
even though it sounds
terrifying, it's a dream.
It's not real.
It was some freaky,
slightly magical dream.
Were your dreams also
like this?
I've had some freaky dreams.
Not dreams.
Freaky dreams.
That's a...
But I haven't
had a freaky dream with Lysander
in it.
When you put it like that...
I can see that.
That cannon.
I can see that.
I can see that.
Oh, thank you for that.
Camera, shh.
Back to the Willow
outside the sunhouse.
Yeah.
I can't sit here for a while
and Google it, but
I'll just walk slowly
and take a shower in it.
So,
the answer yes or no,
sort of.
So, more complex answers are
harder.
You could phrase a complex answer
ending in a yes or no,
but then, depending on
the response, you may learn a lot
or nothing at all.
So, for me,
like we talked about, trying to find out
where she is currently,
that would be a difficult
question to ask.
That could be challenging,
yes, since there are so many options.
And seeking for the most
likely one?
Could be one possibility.
Can you ask
the person
to describe where they are?
Would that
give us any idea
of the terrain
or look at the maps and see?
There's not as much maps
we can get,
I think, for...
A small sign they will give.
And that
would be difficult.
Yes.
What do you call
the afterlife of your grandfather?
The Orchard?
Yes, the Orchard, yeah.
But...
I don't remember the whole plan in my head,
but I remember where it is.
Are you in
the Orchard?
What Orchard?
Not on this plane?
Fields of Elysium.
Fields of Elysium.
Fields of Elysium.
What works
according to what we talked about earlier,
or according to what
he actually knows,
then Fields of Elysium.
For Pelor's home plan.
There are more than Pelor there, but...
Okay.
I guess we should
get started.
Mm-hmm.
Right, okay.
Should be...
Sun is almost up on us.
Right.
I'm starting to do some preparations.
I'm going to set up some incense
that I'm going to light.
And a little
vial of
holy water.
So I'm going to
set it down in the middle there,
with a circular setup
with incense around it.
And I'm going to put it down
in a circle around the central
part of the temple,
where there is a circular opening
in the top, that shines straight down
when the sun comes down.
And you can
see that it
starts to
shine in.
Okay.
So three times, or do we hold hands?
Oh, no.
I don't feel comfortable at all.
Do you want
to go in and...
We hold hands.
It's...
It's being discovered
by something like...
It may sit simply touching
like this. Or not touching, but...
Yes, I also have a rag.
If we hold...
Yes, okay.
That will be acceptable.
Tom Father, we
stand, sit
here with you today,
to ask you
some questions.
I am here
with Mike.
And
he would like to
know
about his loved
one.
Mike.
Am I like talking to
Tom Father or
him?
Is my wife
located with you in the
fields of Elysium?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Is she
doing okay?
Is she well?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Would she like to
return to the living?
That is too special.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Yes.
But time seemed to take its toll, and here, too, there was insecurity.
How long will it take if Ike is sitting there, uninterrupted?
I think it will take five minutes after the questions.
In order not to be in any misinformation, there was a weak point about...
That she didn't have a good time?
That she was out of control, and that she had found peace.
It says that I can give a short sentence, if that's what I want.
There are a lot of deep-rooted feelings to unpack in this communion,
and I hope you manage to find the answers you need.
If not, I'll be here to comfort and assist how I can.
I appreciate that.
Thank you for being so supportive and being able to pull this off.
That really means a lot.
Sorry, I'm going to need some time to process this stuff.
And I think this Agatha might also be able to offer support, she seems.
Yeah, we met up later in the evening and spent the night at the tavern,
where we're all staying.
Well, that's nice.
We ate dinner.
That's not my business here.
I was not invited, I see.
Two good drunk guys going into a tavern.
You're leaving Solhuset, after a bit of quiet reflection.
You're coming with us, right?
Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to take a half step back.
Okay.
And this is good.
We go through the fields and we go find her.
I wish it was that simple. I don't think it is.
I guess, like, simplified, that's the plan, yeah?
Yes.
You have the keys. This is...
We got the item checked out yesterday.
It's not the keys to the heaven.
No.
I mean, it's a cool magic item that gives us Pegasus.
That's a small horse.
Oh, no, it's a magic item, so it turns into, like, a big horse with wings, so it can fly.
Weird.
I agree, but it's cool.
Sure.
You don't want to ride a flying horse?
How big is it?
I don't know. I assume it's quite big.
Yes. I don't know if I want to fly again.
Again?
Yes.
Have you flown?
Yes. I think so.
You didn't like flying?
No. Didn't know where we were.
It was very dark.
I mean, I've never flown, so I don't know how it feels.
You could probably fly in the day. Would be better. See where you look.
I think so, yeah.
Should we meet up with Rest and see what we're going to do?
Sure. Do you want to eat something, drink something, make sure you are okay?
Thanks for asking. I think I'm okay. I just need to find out what we do next.
I think some small activity in the meanwhile while we figure out what to do is a good idea.
Yes.
Not necessarily distraction, but something to do meanwhile.
Sure. We need more money.
We need more money. I just spent a lot of money, which I don't really have.
No, no. I don't eat. So you can have some extra money for the food.
Thanks, Ant. I appreciate it. Okay, let's go.
Should we tell them? Do you want to do that, or should we be quiet?
I think I'm going to tell them I would like to talk about it later when I've processed it more.
Yes. Okay.
Hi, guys.
Did you get in contact?
Yeah. I don't think I'm ready to unpack it yet, if that's okay.
Absolutely.
Maybe tonight over a beer.
Do you know what you want to do?
Have a pulse in the meantime?
I know that's exactly why. I don't know what I want to do yet, so I need to process.
But I think some distraction is going to move my mind along a bit.
So frogs are good?
What? Frogs? Yeah, frogs.
Okay. Or yeah, Ant.
No, that cannot wait a bit. That's going to...
Yeah, we're going to... Where was that?
She's far away.
Yeah, we're going to meet up with Apolline's aunt.
Now?
No, no, no. That's a long time project.
She lives...
It's not the animal. It's a person.
She's like a sister to my parents. So she's my aunt.
Yes. Family.
Yes. I heard about the concept.
Great. Anyway, we're going to go and see her.
But that's going to take time anyway. So honestly, spending one last week here.
One last week? You want to do a week?
Just a few days. No, no, but...
We can deal with the frogs. Hopefully we get paid and we'll have money for travel.
That sounds like a good plan.
Are we going to assume we get paid? Or are we going to...
We can talk to the mayor?
Also feels like a bit like, hey, we're adventurers. Give us money and we'll fix your problem, you know?
It kind of feels...
Checking with the mayor seems like a safe, like a good idea.
Maybe just not front with, are we getting paid for this? But you know...
There are ways to say it that doesn't sound like that.
Is there any compensation for this kind of assignment?
Apparently you're way better at this than me. I'm going to just stay quiet.
Let's go see the mayor.
You got this, Apolline?
Sure, yes.
I mean, you probably should at least introduce us, I guess.
Oh yes, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, oh, she'll be so excited that I found a group.
Okay, we'll just walk up to the mayor. I think usually she's open this time of day.
We've just arrived. How long ago?
Two.
It's almost two, yes.
I got an interview yesterday where the door was open because she was on her way out to a meeting.
Oh.
Myself.
But it seems like Rådhuset is the right choice.
Which is pretty close.
Yes.
Snædgata, the biggest neighbourhood.
Yes.
Hello.
Oh, hello. I'm sorry to disturb you in the afternoon.
Hello, you're here for a visit?
Yes, is the mayor available?
Yes, I believe she is.
Oh, nice.
Anything special?
Yes, we were...
Who's asking?
I'm Agatha, I met with the mayor yesterday and I have some people who are willing to talk about dealing with the frog problem.
So we wanted to discuss and maybe ask some questions about the frog problem.
Sure, sure, sounds good.
You can come in with me.
Thank you.
I'm now in Rådhuset in an office for the mayor.
Relatively simple office.
I've set up a meeting room-like place with meeting room tables that can be moved when I'm not there.
And Sikan is sitting there.
Green Dragonborn.
He snuck down into the book.
Good afternoon Mayor Sikan.
Hello, yes.
Yes, you told me I should find some people and I did.
Oh, that's great.
I met these lovely people at the inn, so you can probably introduce yourself.
Hello, my name is Ike.
Ike.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Abilin Frey.
Nice to meet you.
Hello, Sikan.
I'm Lysander.
Lysander.
I feel like I've heard of these names before.
Yes.
I'm Sally Reed and we have some experience in this town already.
They actually did a huge job in the mines with saving the workers.
Great.
So you already have experience with all these sorts of things?
Yeah, some experience.
We have a few questions, mostly to get a feeling for what the scope of the issue is.
How long have you had issues?
Have you tried contact with them before?
Do you have any ideas why they were attacking?
What are we dealing with here?
A lot of questions.
Sorry.
No, that's okay.
Let's see if I remember them all.
So how long?
I'd say maybe that started yesterday.
No, sorry.
Two days ago.
That we had an incident where three frogs jumped up on the harbour
and started to bring destruction on the nearby fishing boats,
seemingly trying to destroy the harbour.
When we tried to talk to them, they were at us,
which was as bad as informational as you can think it was.
We managed to avoid scuffle, but it seemed like they did destroy the ship,
and then insurance.
Yes, so that was two days ago.
Then the next day we had a couple of frogs going badly hurt,
and one fisherman being unconscious with this large of an arrow.
Smaller than usual, but stuck in them.
Clearly makeshift.
So something's happening out nearby the lake.
Did they seem like they were affected by some of the purple fumes in the mines?
That is a good question.
I didn't really get that impression, actually.
The thought has been circulated.
We could probably take a look at it.
We will be able to borrow a ship for you, of course,
and we'll be happy for any help you can lend us,
and of course you will also be rewarded for any help you do give.
It's hard to say.
We would like to have these ships stopped to be damaged and the fishermen returning,
especially since we have all these extra employees coming in for the mining operations.
We do need a bit more food than usual,
so it would be nice if we can keep fishing in our city.
Let's say a thousand gold for helping.
That sounds reasonable.
Food is quite important for us.
We'll do what we can, and we'll try to solve this through peaceful means if possible,
even if we wouldn't like to.
It is right.
You seem like a capable group.
We are super capable.
From what I heard in the mines, they seem really impressive.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
And then we'll hopefully have fixed this soon.
We'll do some research.
No more research.
We'll be fighting.
No research.
Just fight.
I would like to go into a shop and try to find a scroll of comprehension languages or something.
Try to talk to them.
I would like to figure out if there is more to this story than just frogs going rebellious.
I think being able to speak with them would be a good idea.
Can someone scope out the docks, maybe?
Yeah.
I can probably do that.
All right.
I can join you and have a look.
I mean, I'll be my cranky farmer, if I can.
I don't know.
I can scope out.
All right.
I have a question.
Should we start with dinner?
Yes.
I don't think so.
Okay.
I think we should start today.
Today?
Before this session.
Yes.
And then I would like to thank you for listening.
We are very happy with you.
And is the session starting?
Yes.
Good night.
