- g*ng, this is Dimension
20's fun, weekly live show.
You tuned in into Twitch to
watch us play some D&D.
The continuing adventures of the Bad Kids,
a group of teenage adventures
from the Aguefort Adventuring Academy,
who are on their spring break
quest for 60% of their grade
to find and retrieve the
crown of the Nightmare King.
Last we left off our heroes,
there had been some shenanigans
with strange nightmare forces.
They got some hirelings,
including two of Fig Faeth's parents,
and the third is trapped in
a gem with her right now.
And they had set off to Bastion City.
There was a fight with some
demons at the Hotel Cavalier.
They made an extra dimensional
space in a celestial van,
headed up on the ocean, and have arrived
at the pirate city of Leviathan,
a massive city made of a
titanic amalgamation of shipwrecks
lashed and built upon together
as a floating metropolis on the waves.
Have I left anything out of our recap
from the previous weeks,
or does that about catch us up to speed?
- I don't think so,
but I do have a question about money.
- Mm-hmm?
- Oh, yeah.
- Are we just each of us carrying
around 20,000 gold pieces
on our person?
- No, I don't think you are.
- Okay, good.
- Good.
- It is up to you guys
to decide how much money
you would've chosen to
convert into gold pieces
prior to your expedition.
The amount of weight-
How many gold pieces in a pound?
We will find out.
About 50 coins in a pound.
So I'll let you guys figure out
how many pounds of gold coins
you guys would've wanted
to bring in this van.
Oh, but you also got The Ball's briefcase,
which is a-
- Right.
- A Bag of Holding.
- Oh, yeah.
- Is the Bag of Holding heavy?
- Uh, no, it does-
- Like, you can put
- unlimited weight in it?
- I think it's-
- It does not gain weight
as you put more stuff in.
- Oh, okay, great.
- I'll let each of you make that decision
privately, to yourself,
how much money you
converted before leaving,
- Great.
- so we don't have to
spend time coordinating.
- Yep.
- But you guys do have to convert
some amount of your wealth
into actual specie before
you head off to sea.
Yes?
- Yeah, why'd you
leave out Hilda Hilda?
I mean, I feel like that was-
That's an essential-
- Oh, Hilda Hilda.
- I feel like that's-
- Key plot point.
going to have massive- that is a-
- And the Night Yorb,
which, also, you didn't mention.
- Night Yorb.
- Yeah, these massive-
- Oh, yeah.
You didn't mention the Menace of
the Night. - For sure, for sure
- Like, that's
all I have written down
from last week.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna write down-
- Honestly, that's
all I've been able to write.
- Yeah.
- Yes, a little bit of housekeeping, too.
Shout out to all of our
fans making awesome fan art.
- Yeah, we love it.
- Yeah.
- Not only the incredible artists
who have been drawing incredible
art of the characters,
including the van boat,
the Hangvan, as it is sometimes called.
- The Hangvan?
- The Hangvan.
- The Hangvan.
They're smarter than us, goddammit.
- But also-
- I think the Van
Boat's a great name.
- We also got a lot of
musicians making awesome music.
- Yeah!
- That song is amazing.
- Zac and Emily made awesome music.
We just had Reddit user, Semjaxx, make one
specifically talking about the Night Yorb.
Y'all love to talk about the Night Yorb,
even though we've been
told over and over again,
"Speak not of the Night Yorb."
Also, make sure to check out-
we got awesome shirts and stuff.
I think we have one of the Hangvan itself
up on the site now.
So make sure to check that out.
We return now
to the world of Spyre.
- That's so crunchy.
- Oh!
- That celery is crunchy.
- That's the
worst food you can have.
- Why now?
- Sorry,
I need to to get it in
before we get into it.
I can't eat it in the middle.
- Hurry!
- Eat it string by string.
- Sorry.
- We return now to the world of Spyre.
As we do so,
you hear
the crashing of water against
the hull of Leviathan,
the huge, wooden behemoths
of structure surrounding you.
You hear the laughter of
pirates, the playing of music,
and suddenly, coming up out of the water,
you see ropes surging up
into the heights around you
as a colossal trawling
net, whoa, picks up the van
and you are all flung
around within the van.
Luckily, the blankets
cushion most of the blow.
And you feel yourself being surged upward
into the Maw of Leviathan.
You see a massive, wooden
plank covered with pirates
that begin to put huge hooks,
and pull the net over to a giant platform.
What do you guys do as this is happening?
- Fabian?
- Fabian, is this normal?
- Is this normal?
- Hey, Fabian?
- Yes, yes.
All right, everyone.
Everyone be calm.
These are classic pirate shenanigans.
- As the skipper, I just
wanna say a couple things-
- Yes?
- Before we go up here.
- Mm.
- Maybe the skipper and the king of boats
and the captain and the first mate
can circle up and talk about it?
- Yeah, let's-
- Yeah, of course.
- So what do we do?
- Yeah, I don't really know.
- Well, it's Leviathan.
Don't worry, my father,
his name will get us a long way here.
So you let me do the talking.
Everyone just be cool, all right?
This is, like, a cool place.
- I'm nothing but cool.
- A hundred percent, so just-
- Looks like it's a legion bosun!
Some sort of magic tech,
something of the like.
Should be able to fetch a pretty penny.
- Also, be mean.
Always be mean.
Hey, you scurvy dogs!
Uh-
- What?
- Uh-
- What?
- I should-
- I'm not scurvy.
- Yes, yes, you all are.
- This pirate on the deck
full bursts into tears, is-
- Oh no.
- Clutched by a number of other pirates.
- So sensitive.
You are lowered onto this massive deck.
You guys see a wooden platform
piled high with flotsam and jetsam,
the wreckage of ships that
are devoured by the city
and pulled up in these nets.
You see that, farther away,
there are other piles of just looted goods
staying here on the deck.
Of the goods that are looted here,
you see very little in the
way of gold or diamonds
and those sort of rich, rare items.
You see a lot of like wood,
materials, sail cloth.
It looks like this place is a giant intake
for all of the things the city would need
to stay afloat and stay alive.
With a swirl of a
long, blue captain's coat,
you hear thudding.
As the van is lowered
slowly onto the deck,
still with like the netting around it,
you see a warforged approach.
This is a pirate that
is a living automaton
made of stone and rusted steel and wood.
You see that in her head,
there is one gleaming, bright lantern eye.
Some sort of like golem
magic robot kind of look.
The other eye has fully
like short circuited
and you see the little tungsten wire
that would normally be lit
is frayed up under there.
She is a good eight and a half
feet tall, and approaches.
Under the sort of blue coat,
you see just a normal
dirty, white sailor shirt,
striped pants that go down to her-
her feet are sort of, like, tri-clawed.
They don't look as approximated
to humanoid features.
They're kind of, like,
more robotic down there.
She does not carry a sword at her side.
But you do see that her right hand
is three stone fingers that
kind of close like a claw,
and her left hand appears to be
a four-barreled, rotating cannon.
- Oh God.
- I hold out a cigarette.
Can I get a light?
- You open the van door
to lean out and say this?
- Yeah- uh...
No.
- I stop Fig.
I'm like-
- What? Okay that- sorry.
- Fabian, you seem to have-
- I'm a people person.
- You seem to have offended them.
Are they usually the sensitive?
- Things must have changed
since my father was here.
Uh, hello?
- You see that- the
person who you recognize-
Actually, go ahead and give
me an Intelligence check
to see if you would know this person.
- It's gonna be a seven.
- You don't know who this person is.
You look up and you see that
the warforged
sort of eye looks down.
You see that the warforged
speaks to everyone and goes,
"Looks like we may have
caught some fish in this can."
And bangs on the side of the van.
"Best to let them out."
The door is flung open
by one of the pirates.
The net dropped and you guys
are free to exit onto the deck
as the pirate's here give you some leeway.
And this warforged stands in front of you.
- I whisper to the van,
"Hey, just pretend to be a dumb van,
not like you're a person."
- What?
- Just don't talk.
- Far out.
I'll keep it hush-hush.
- Okay.
- For right now,
I'm a normal van.
- Okay, cool.
- Yeah.
You see that the warforged steps out-
And I assume Fabian steps to the front?
- I mean, obviously.
Hello, I'm Fabian Seacaster,
son of Bill Seacaster.
Bill Seacaster.
- You speak now to the boson of Leviathan.
Jamina Joy is what I am called.
You say you are the son of Old Bill?
- That's right.
- Give me a Persuasion check
if you would be so kind.
- Jimmy a what?
- Jamina Joy.
- That's gonna be a modded 20.
- Dirty 20?
- Um-
- Dirty 20.
- She looks at you and says,
"You are not dressed as a pirate.
Rumor on the wind is that
your father is slain."
- That's right, and
I'm the one who did it.
- All the pirates around go.
Ooh, that be very piratey, indeed.
- Also, he's wearing
that very cool eye patch,
which I feel is pretty piratey.
- Yes, and it belonged to my
father, along with this sword.
And having slain him, I
took them off his body,
assembled a crew of my own.
- Ahoy!
- Ahoy!
- We're very different.
- You see one of the
pirates leans down and says,
"Notice how they've all said ahoy to us.
That's quite piratey, indeed."
- Well, we're well-versed
in the culture and ways.
Taught by my father himself
before I struck him down.
- Also, Cathilda is here
and she's a mighty pirate.
- Yeah, also, Cathilda, the maid.
- Cathilda looks out,
and all the pirates take
two full steps back.
You see that Jamina
kneels down on one knee, and says,
"Cathilda the Black, terror
of the Celestine Sea."
And she goes, "Oh, you
are being a darling.
That's all right.
Up, up with you.
There's no need for that."
- I'm sorry, are you kneeling
for me, or for my mate?
- I kneel out of respect,
and a desire to prolong my life.
- Well, I mean, I wasn't
going to k*ll anybody.
- You see Cathilda pats
you on your leg and says,
"They're worried that I
am going to k*ll them,
Master Fabian."
- You're a maid.
Maids can't k*ll.
- "Oh, you sweet, cheeky boy."
She pinches your cheek.
"That's all right, Fabian."
You know it might be
best here in Leviathan
if you don't call more
attention to me than is needed."
- I mean, but you're- I mean,
you're a maid, so I mean,
it's not like you'll be at
the front of anything, anyway.
- Cathilda, I think you
make a fearsome presence
and I have a disguise kit.
I'm willing to help you disguise yourself.
- Oh, that might be for the best, darling.
- Okay, what are we thinking?
Blonde?
Brunette?
Redhead?
Ombre?
- Ooh!
A nice ombre.
- Okay, then.
- We dip dye Cathilda's hair.
- It takes five hours.
- Yeah.
- What's a ombre?
- Like, half.
- It's that.
- Oh, kind of like this?
Gorgug has the little, like-
- Oh yeah.
- Kind of.
- And if anything happen-
If we need to, I can cast
Greater Invisibility on you.
It only lasts for a minute.
- Oh.
- But if there's a
moment where we need to.
- Very kind of you, darling.
- Let me know.
- That would be all right.
Jamina stands and says,
"Well, what metal can have we
pulled out of the sea here?"
- This belongs to my skipper, Gorgug.
It's some kind of a van that's a boat.
- My van is a boat, and my boat is a van.
And this is it.
It sort of floats like a boat
and has a propeller in the back,
and then it also can drive on land.
It does the two things, so...
- Go ahead and make a
Persuasion check for me, Gorgug.
- Hey, Gorgug, look at me real quick.
I wink at him.
- What's that?
- You have Inspiration.
- What do I add to that?
- A d8.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, roll a d8.
- It's Persuasion?
It's an 11.
- Okay.
- Wow.
- What?
- So this is-
- No, no, no,
that's a 15.
- Not your vessel,
but the skipper's?
- Well, it-
- Persuasion plus four.
- I mean-
- That's Perception.
- Yes, it belongs to the skipper.
- The skipper?
Then I am afraid, skipper,
your vessel has been seized
by the Maelstrom's Maw.
- Okay.
- As raw materials.
- I hear you.
I hear you.
Could-
- I'm so sorry
to do this.
- Can we talk about this?
I'm so sorry to do this.
I am a famous rock star and-
- What is that?
- Well-
- You are a rock star?
- You don't listen to any music?
- You see she grabs you and lifts you up-
- Not even techno?
- And starts to inspect you.
"You are not made of any
rock that I have ever seen."
- I know.
Yeah, that's 'cause I don't
have my guitar in my hand.
Then you'll see.
- A guitar made of rock-
- Yeah.
- would surely sound awful to the ear, no?
- No, it sounds awesome.
- Careful, it might be
too powerful for them.
Remember?
- If I can get you to dance,
will you let us keep our van?
- I do not dance.
I can only judge the
incessant beating of music
for the pounding of its
rhythm. It does not move me,
for in my chest of stone and wood,
there beats no heart to keep in time.
- I don't really
like dancing, either.
- Oh, good.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't really get it.
- Yeah.
Should we just try it?
- I like it when there's rules.
When they're aren't, it stresses me out.
- Yeah, exactly.
- I think I'm gonna
plug my bass into my amp
and try anyways.
- Two, three, four.
- I'm gonna need a
Performance check from you.
- Okay.
- For both of us?
- If you wanna give a Performance check
to give the Help action.
You give me just a DC-
- I already have Advantage.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Where'd you get advantage from?
- Actor.
Performance and Deception.
- Actor only gives it
when you're impersonating another person.
- Oh, okay.
- So if you wanna give me a DC-
You have to give me a DC 10 performance
to give advantage to Fig.
- Okay.
- Okay.
That's all right.
- Just, okay!
- 10!
- Yes!
- We fully need a Nat 20.
- Wonderful.
You can roll this with Advantage.
I'm gonna say you need at least a DC 20
to make the type of
impression we need here.
- What do you have as a-
- Mug.
- We'll find out.
We got a 23.
- Okay.
- Okay, so you plug in your amp.
All these pirates have
kind of gathered around.
Is anyone, like, keeping
an eye on the pirates
while Fig sets up?
- Yeah, definitely.
- Yeah, for sure.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- I don't trust these pirates.
- Anyone that wants to can
give me a Perception check
or Insight, whichever you'd like.
- 24.
- 24.
- Three.
- Three.
- 11.
- 18.
- 18, cool.
- Oh, Perception.
- 21.
- 21.
What are Riz and Adaine
paying attention to
at this moment?
- The back of the boat.
I'm gonna- like,
'cause I think that we're
standing on the roof, right,
'cause we were-
- You are standing.
- Up on the roof before.
- So to give you an idea of perspective,
this is effectively a wooden
platform made out of driftwood
that is the size of,
like, an aircraft carrier,
where ropes and nets from
the jutting neighborhoods
of, like, shipwreck,
that come out of here.
This is basically like a pincer
at the front of the city of Leviathan
that swallows up, pulls out the water-
- Right.
- And just chop shops anything
the city can catch, right?
- So can I cast-
it takes a minute, but
we've been chatting- Snare,
and set a trap at the back of
the- back doors of the boat?
- At the back doors of the van boat?
- Of the van boat.
- Sure.
- Just to make sure that nobody
breaks in some other way?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Great.
- You cast Snare back there.
- With a...
So you're keeping an eye
on the back of the boat-
- Mm-hmm.
- So you'll notice if anyone
goes there to mess up.
What's Riz keeping an eye out for?
- I think I just want to get a feel for
if this automaton is the, you know,
big leader here, or if like
anybody else is coming,
or, like, how the pirates are acting.
If they're, like, seem
like they're cool with us
or if they're just acting that
way so that they can attack.
- You see the warforged is definitely-
She's the highest status person here.
- Okay.
- Is a bosun just in charge
of a deck or is that like...?
- In a ship, a bosun is in
charge of, like, the rope,
the rigging, like, a lot of
the material goods on a ship.
So for her to be the bosun of Leviathan-
Leviathan's political order
is something you guys probably
could ask Fabian about,
but it doesn't really-
You can imagine that a pirate
city doesn't run super well.
- Sure.
- In all likelihood,
Jamina might be one of the
only elements of the city
that works how it's supposed to
because she looks very powerful.
And you see that her job,
if she's the bosun of the Leviathan,
would be probably to keep the city intact
on a fundamental level.
And, like, looking at the city,
you see that she's got
her work cut out for her.
Like the city is not-
You're lookin' around and you're like,
"Yeah, this could stand
a fair bit of work.
This is a fixer-upper, for sure."
- Mm-hmm.
- Probably, it takes all
of her time and energy
just to process the Maelstrom's Maw
and then keep the most
pressing, existential threats
to the city's structure
patched up, fixed, and worked with.
That being said, with that 20,
is that more of an Insight or
a Perception, would you say?
- Insight.
I think I had two.
I'm trying to see if anybody reacted to
Fabian being Bill Seacaster's-
Like if there's anybody staring at him
or if there's anybody who's like-
I'm kind of looking for this
Garthy O'Brien character,
if they're, like, in the crowd.
- You notice
a bright red tiefling
in the back of this cluster of people.
They're a pretty young boy.
They look about teenaged as well,
but obviously not with the-
They don't have-
Like, this young tiefling
probably hasn't grown up
in a culture that has teenagers
in the way that Solace does.
But you see that they've
got, like, a scarf
and a lot of, you know, jangly jewelry on.
They look extremely sort of
curious and malnourished.
The main thing is that they
don't look like someone
who spends all day dragging
flotsam out of the ocean.
Like, everyone else here looks like
they work on Jamina's crew.
This kid looks a little
scrawny to be in this number.
And when Fabian announces himself,
his eyes light up, this
young tiefling kid.
With a 23 Insight,
you see that there is
a kind of stunned, starstruck
quality to this kid.
- Okay.
- In any case, you plug your
amp in. You get drumming.
You got a 23.
Jamina looks and says,
"Your guitar, there is no hole in it,
no cavity to create sound."
- Yeah, the amp does that.
You have a lot in common with an amp.
- What?
- Yeah.
- You begin to play.
And you see, as you start to play,
Jamina goes, "All right.
The power!
The power!
You guys just-
- Get her pregnant.
- Is she?
- You see that one of the
pirates in the back goes,
"Right. Well, I'm not sure
this type of music's for me.
It doesn't- what's happening to me hips?
Me hips!"
And he just starts like-
- He starts grinding?
- Just starts grinding on
one of the other pirates.
- Now do it together,
if you guys do it together.
- And you see one who says,
"Walter, what are you doing?
I'm doing it, too!"
And you see that one of the other pirates,
this sort of old, bearded, toothless guy
just starts full windmilling,
just going,
"Ah!"
And they just scream.
You see one of them
grabs his eyes and goes,
"I can't behold it any longer!"
They begin to just scream and run around.
You see that as the amp-
Sort of, just, power cords slam
out of the amp over and over.
You see that Jamina falls to her knees,
her eyes kind of, like, flickering,
and she starts to crawl over to the amp,
slowly being buffeted back
by the power of pure rock and roll.
Gets to the amp, unplugs it.
"What have I beheld?"
- I don't mean to be presumptuous,
but if you ever wanted to experiment,
if we plugged into you,
you could be an amp.
The music could run through your body.
- A vessel for magic this powerful
is more than my core could withstand.
Your crew harnesses powers
faster than I can comprehend.
- Oh, they are very, very mighty.
- If this vessel belongs to the skipper,
where, then, does your vessel lie?
- Mine?
Mine is up top.
Hangman!
- You see that the
Hangman
comes down and goes,
"Sire, this terrible van,
we should let them chop it up-"
- How will we get home?
- You see that Jamina
looks at it and says,
"Is this thing your steed or vessel?"
- Both.
I am predominantly a pirate of the land,
thusly my vessel suits me accordingly.
- Go ahead and give me
another Persuasion check.
- That's gonna be-
- Can I help him?
- If you like, gimme a
Persuasion check yourself.
Beat a 10, you can help him.
- It's kind of c*ck, but it was a 10.
14.
- That's a 16.
- Okay, and you have Advantage.
You've got help with this.
- With Gorgug's help, it's a 16.
- Gotcha. Cool, cool, cool.
You see that she says,
"Very well.
You, then, are young Master Seacaster.
Well, as I have said,
this has been seized for the Leviathan.
But if you wish, we can make
an allowance in this case
for you to purchase back
that which has been taken by the city."
- Uh, for-
- Can we pay in kind?
- I've got VIP tickets.
- What do mean, pay in kind?
- Well, is there anything that we could do
to work off the debt,
instead of paying you money?
- If you wish to work
for a year and a day-
- A year and a day?
- Oh.
- How much?
Just name a price.
- Okay, okay.
- No, no, no.
- Don't-
- That's not how you haggle.
- Look-
- What kind of
pirate are you, Fabian?
- Well, I want us to get
our boat in a van back,
or a van that's a boat, right?
I mean, what, anything
under a hundred gold pieces,
and it's yours.
- Why don't you
just invoice my manager?
- What?
- How much is it?
- Go ahead, we'll make a
little Haggle check here.
Whoever wants to make a Charisma
check, flat Charisma check.
- We refuse to be pushed
around, unless it's cheap.
Then that's fine.
- Nat 20!
- Nat 20.
- Nat 20?
- Oh!
- You see that Jamina
looks at it and says,
"Given that I have never seen
whatever this thing is before,
yeah, a hundred gold sounds fine.
That sounds totally fine."
- Can we circle up and
talk about it, maybe?
- A hundred gold is-
- I feel insulted,
but that sounds fine.
- Kind of a lot.
We honestly got this for 20 gold,
so giving you 100 gold is-
- It's a reverse haggle.
- You see it says,
"You are talking down from
your previously stated price?"
- It's mine.
- No, no, no, we have to
give them a hundred, right?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, Fig is just
trying to get it even lower.
- I'm just trying to get it even lower.
- It's honestly like kind of pushing it.
- We're startin' at a hundred.
- Hey-
- You don't just take the first price!
- You know, I feel like you
don't- can they hear us?
- Yes.
You're fully talking in front-
- I feel like-
- I close the van door.
Hey, you guys,
I feel like we can't just
walk into a bunch of pirates
and be like, "We have a ton of money.
A hundred.
Name your price."
- That's what I'm saying.
- You can't say "name your price."
- That's what I'm saying, we need to-
- They're gonna
take all of our money.
- Act the part of the pauper.
- What?
- We have to act the part
of the pauper and act-
- Definitely, we have to
act the part of the pauper.
- You offered them VIP tickets.
You've said you were rockstar.
It's literally- the very
first thing you said
is that I am a rock star.
- Let's try to
get 'em a little lower.
- Invoice my manager.
- Let's just try to
get 'em a little lower.
- Let's just do 100.
- Sorry.
- I'm just gonna pay them.
It's my money.
I'm a very rich man.
- Okay.
- Just stop saying how rich you are.
We're gonna get k*lled!
- Anyways.
- For the record, "invoicing my manager"
was to try to tie them up in paperwork.
- All right, I'm opening the door.
- Cool, you open the door up.
- Hey!
- Hi.
- Uh-
- Hello!
- Ahoy!
- Ahoy, again.
- I stuck my face in a pie
that could.
Hello!
- Good lord.
- You see as you f*ck' clowns
pile out of the van,
you see that Jamina is talking
with the young tiefling.
The tiefling talks with her a little bit.
- Have I seen lots
of other tieflings before?
- Not really.
- Oh yeah,
I pass along the info to you guys.
Hey, just- the tiefling's
a little out of place.
And also, they were super
interested in Fabian
when Fabian mentioned that
he's Bill Seacaster's-
- Are you sure they weren't
maybe like recognizing me?
- Yes.
- Oh.
- Does the tiefling like
look like it's mixed with,
does it seem like related
to Fabian in any way?
- Oh.
- Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm an only child, all right?
- There's no
way you're an only child.
- I mean-
- Under no circumstances.
- The second you said,
"I'm an only child," in a desperate voice,
you stopped being an only child.
- Or you doubled down
in being an only child.
- I mean, I-
- Yeah, on your mother's side.
Not even then.
Your mother is an elf and has
lived for hundreds of years.
- Yeah.
- All right, everyone is ganging up on me.
- No.
- You see that Jamina is handed
a bag by the tiefling,
looks over and says,
"Master Seacaster, farewell.
Your voyage has brought
you here to Leviathan.
Your father tread these waters,
the greatest pirate to ever live."
- Well, he's dead now,
and someone has to take his place.
- She stomps away.
And you see that the tiefling
looks up to you guys,
and he says, "Hello, there.
Sorry to intrude,
but I've settled your
debt with the bosun."
- I wanna brush my hair back
through my horns.
- Oh, you settled the debt?
- Oh.
- That's right, I've given
a hundred gold pieces.
- Yeah.
- But we should abscond quickly,
because they will only
be a hundred gold pieces
for another 10 or so minutes.
- Oh.
- Oh,
but they're gonna figure that out,
and then they'll take the boat.
- What?
- Oh.
- Let's go.
- Are you gonna come?
- No, no, no, no.
I'm gonna go pay the bosun 100 pieces.
- We should just go.
- We should just go.
- No, no!
- As soon as we leave the boat,
they're gonna take it.
- I side with Adaine on this.
- What's your name?
- Oh, sorry. 'Ello, my
name's Alistair Ash.
- Alistair Ash?
- Alistair Ash?
- AKA?
- Hi.
- Yeah, okay, cool.
- Alistair Ash, do you
know a Garthy O'Brien?
- Oh, well, everyone knows Garthy O'Brien.
They're the impresario
of the Gold Gardens.
- Is this like a place
where I could drive the van
on these boards?
- This thing moves?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's a van.
- A what?
- A van.
- Wow!
Solesians!
You know, they talk
about you all the time,
but you really, you know,
you play music that sounds
like how my hips feel
when a woman dances and-
- Right, yeah.
- You know?
- Yeah, it's a cart that moves on its own.
- What?
- Yeah.
- A cart that moves on its own?
Gods alive and cor!
I've seen everything, haven't I?
How does it move without
a dolphin at the front?
- So you tricked those pirates to help us,
and now you're just gonna
let them k*ll you, I guess?
- Why would they k*ll me?
Because they'll be mad
when the gold turns back
to rocks.
- Mm-hmm.
- Is this my first
other tiefling I've ever met?
- Yes.
You are seeing-
- I sink to a deep depression.
- Can you lead
us to Garthy O'Brien
if we take you in our moving cart?
- You would do that?
- Yeah.
- Please, yes!
Oh God, I've gotta escape.
You know, it's funny
because you think, like,
this lie is perfect and
it's gonna work, no problem.
But then you're like,
if they find out the truth that,
my problem with lies is I always forget
that the other person
has a mind and feelings
and keeps existing
after I've lied to them.
- Right, that's so-
- I side-
- See, hmm, yeah.
- I side with Adaine
that we should just pay.
- Interesting.
- I side with Adaine that we should pay.
- Yeah.
- All right, well, I'll
track down the bosun.
- I mean, I can also-
- But don't we need the info?
We need the information
that this person has.
- Yes.
We can say, "Thank you so much."
- You can come with us.
Thank you so much.
- You have done a great
magic trick for us.
That's so cool.
We're gonna also pay them.
- Oh, okay.
How are you gonna broach the subject of
just wanting to double
the cost of the-
- Yeah, we should leave.
- Yeah, I actually, let's-
- Riz gets in the car.
- This van is so obvious.
- Let's do the pirate thing
and just run.
- Okay.
- Come on!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Okay, so is sort of thieving and lying
sort of a sign of like
respect in this town?
- I mean, I thought so,
and then I called a man a scurvy dog
and he was crying.
I mean-
- They're gonna be so mad.
- You can't be upset.
He's extremely sensitive.
- Okay, well-
- Okay.
- I think he has scurvy really bad.
- I think he does have scurvy.
- He must.
- People in the Maelstrom's
Maw get scurvy a lot.
Okay, so you guys pile into the van.
Are you going to pay the
bosun the extra or no?
- Yes!
- Can you Mage Hand
a hundred gold pieces
as we run away?
- No, we can't even bring-
If we bring it up we'll
get in trouble again,
and we'll have to redo it all.
- Why?
Someone else did this to us.
- I'm gonna say, "Hey, this
guy that we don't know lied."
- How big is Leviathan?
- I side with Adaine on this.
- Leviathan is an enormous metropolis.
There's probably about a
million and a half people.
- Let's go.
- Our van is the only van!
- Let's just go.
- It's so awkward.
- We're getting ourselves into a situation
that the bosun comes and messes us up.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Throw him a hundred gold.
I think it's just gonna
raise more questions.
- Cool, so you Mage Hand a hundred gold?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
The bosun grabs the gold
as the vans speeds away and says,
"I don't exactly understand.
Wait, I have some questions."
But you guys peel off.
You see Alistair goes, "Oh, look.
So, it's very nice that you all did that.
Skin of my teeth.
Hello."
You start the van.
As the van peels off, Alistair just goes
and screams as the van moves.
- Who is- I'm sorry.
I don't know which side of you is demon,
but what demon are you from?
- What demon am I from?
- Yeah.
- Well, rumor has it on my mother's side,
I come from the stock of Geryon,
and on my father's side,
I also have infernal blood
from Dispater himself, so.
- Don't know those things.
- Oh, okay.
- Don't what you're talking about.
- Very cool.
Very cool.
- Yeah.
- Really cool.
- Can I do an Insight
check, just, on Alistair?
- Yeah, I'm-
- 'Cause Alistair just talked about
how much they love lying.
- Do I recognize this name?
Can I do an Intelligence check?
- I got a Nat 20 Insight.
- Yeah, and I got a 26.
- 26, Nat 20.
- Oh.
- I'll give it a shot.
- 13.
- I got a 12.
- I'm not gonna-
- 15 Intelligence to remember this person.
- I'm not gonna waste a roll on this.
- Okay.
All right, okay.
- On this jerk.
- 13.
- No, on him.
- This guy smells familiar to you.
- Literally?
- Literally smells
familiar. He smells like...
Like embers and brimstone a little bit,
but also there's a smelling of like some,
maybe like a beard oil
that's familiar to you,
even though he's clean shaven
and very young and scrawny.
With a 20 Insight,
you see that this guy has
some kind of crush on Fabian or something,
that he's like-
- Oh, all right, okay.
- But it's a weird- it looks
like hero worship or something.
- Okay.
- You see that-
And even with your Insight as well,
you can get a definite vibe and he says,
"Well, first of all, let me just say,
Fabian Aramais Seacaster.
Oh my Lord."
- Oh, yes, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Were you a friend of my father's or a...
- Oh, I am more than a
friend of your father's.
- Oh.
- You're his best friend?
- Well, hopefully when I die,
I can become an even better
friend of your father's.
But is all of your crew
safe to speak in front of,
my Lord Seacaster?
- Of course.
- I am a follower of Old Bill.
I have sworn myself to his service.
He, the destroyer and
descrier of the Nine Hells,
he who, aloft in a ship
made of dragon carcass,
pillages and raids the
princes of the devil folk.
He is my patron.
- You're a
warlock to Bill Seacaster?
- In the flesh.
And there's a lot of
us, a great lot of us,
who have sworn ourselves to his service.
He has seen fit in all
of his hellish princedom
to grant us spells.
- What?
This is incredible.
Are you saying that my
father's some kind of, like,
Lord of Hell now,
who can give magic to people
here in the Material world?
- Very recently.
- Wow.
- About five months ago,
I think he k*lled some
kind of devil prince,
and, I don't know,
ate or consumed some part
of his infernal essence.
And, lo and behold. But it's the best.
You can tell- I mean, you know,
pirates are a superstitious lot,
so if word got out that I was a warlock,
I mean, they'd string me up for sure.
They'd hang me in Gibbety Square.
But I'll tell you this right now,
Bill is the greatest patron
a warlock could ask for.
- I mean, I believe it.
I mean, as his maybe first patron-
- What's Dippity Square?
- Gibbety.
Gibbety.
- Oh.
- Gibbety Square?
- Where the gibbits are.
- Oh, if yous don't know
your way around Leviathan,
I's be happy to show you.
- You know, can I
ask you something, Alistair?
Do you know anything
about the Nightmare King
and it's crown?
- The Nightmare King?
- Yeah.
- No.
- It sounds scary, though.
- The scary king-
- Yeah.
of nightmares?
- Sounds scary, right?
- That was pretty good delivery.
- Yeah, just like-
- I don't like that one bit.
- Yeah.
- What is Bill Seacaster-
- Can I do an Insight
check and see if he was f*cking with us?
- Sure.
- Hell yeah.
- Show me-
- That takes such a long time.
- Show me some of your warlock spells.
- Oh, a 27.
- Oh, 27?
You do not think he was f*cking with you.
You think this kid-
Listen, being a warlock,
warlocks are a Charisma-based
spellcasting class.
They are not an Intelligence-based
spellcasting class.
You don't need a lot of
smarts to work out a deal.
You see, he looks and says, "Oh, um,
I would be happy to show you a spell.
Do you think you could front me
some money to show you?"
- Oh, you need
it as a spell component?
- Um, no.
Not, well-
- I pull a rock that has
been turned into a gold piece
out of my Jacket of Holding.
- He takes it and says,
"All right, well, I might as
well show you what I mean.
Yeah, I guess this is worth it.
What kind of spell do you wanna see?"
- Your favorite?
- That doesn't mess up the van.
- My favorite that
doesn't mess up the van?
Oh, all right.
You see that he disguises himself as a
human pirate woman.
You see that it's- he's,
like, an extremely overdone-
He looks like a pirate
serving girl Halloween costume
you would see.
He's got like enormous cleavage
and he's like, "Yo-h*, yo-h*, I'm a lady."
- Hmm.
- Not bad.
- Game Naughty-Nice.
- Not bad at all.
- Welcome to the club.
- He shakes your hand
and says, "Could we pull over
in the alley real quick?"
- Why?
- This is getting...
- Why did you
need gold to do a spell?
- We've gotta get outta here!
- Does Bill Seacaster charge you?
- You see he looks at Riz.
Riz, can you repeat what you just said?
- Does Bill Seacaster charge you?
- Look, it's a better deal,
'cause you don't have to sell your soul.
It's just-
- That's brilliant.
That's brilliant.
- You see he says, "So basically-
Well, here's the thing, right,
is that all the other patrons
are always like, 'Your soul,
your memories or whatever.'
Bill Seacaster's very upfront.
It's 25 gold to lease a
cantrip for one month.
All right?
And it's a hundred gold
pieces a month for five.
So if you get it in bulk."
- Alistair-
- Just cantrips?
That's as high as he'll go for?
- You're getting ripped off.
- Well, that's the thing
No, it's magic!
It's magic, and you don't
have to give your soul.
- How much money do you have?
- Well, I have to get a lot,
'cause I don't keep it for very long.
- What is in this
alley you wanna take us to?
- Yeah!
- You see that he reaches
into a little satchel.
He pulls out-
- You're a mess!
- I'm not a mess.
Listen, I was an urchin
running around Leviathan,
and now I knows magic!
All right?
And I didn't have to give
up me soul or nothing.
- You're a bit old to be
an urchin.
- All right.
- All right, what's
your whole f*cking deal?
What's your situation?
- I do good magic!
- Oh, la-dee-da!
- For free.
- You do good magic?
Well, did you learn your magic in a book?
- Yes, I did.
- Oh, hello, I can read.
- Hey, are we pulling over to rob someone?
- No.
- Are you pulling
us over so you can rob us?
- What is in the alley?
- What is in the alley,
before we pull over? - I just-
- Look, I need to do a ritual,
and it's better if you do it sooner,
because if you forget, it's bad.
- Why do you-
- What's the ritual?
- Is this the ritual
to pay Bill Seacaster?
- He pulls out of a satchel a,
like, leather skin,
infernal roll of parchment.
And he pulls it out and unfurls it,
and you see an infernal
pentagram sort of hex on it.
It looks lined with soot and smoke.
And you see he says,
"Basically,
when you sign up for your
first package of spells,
you get one of these. And you
sort of have to, you know-
when you cast a spell,
end of the day or whatever like that,
you spread it out, right,
and then you put the gold in the middle,
you say the incantation,
the gold bursts into
flame and disappears."
- Where do you-
- I need to ask you-
- Do have to hire other people?
- That's what I was gonna say!
- Is it like-
- Yeah, like, you get
get three friends and...
- Is this an incentive-based thing
that you get more spells
- Oh, you get-
if you recruit other people?
- Oh!
- You can get upgraded?
- You can get a tremendous
amount of spell slots-
- Yeah.
- through the referral program.
- But it's all about,
because you actually end up making money-
- Right.
- and spell slots.
- You're kind of a business owner.
- Yeah, in a very real way,
because Bill's empowered me
to take my life into my own hands.
- Do you host, like, mimosa brunches
where you try and get
people to become patrons?
- I do Bellinis.
- You do what?
- Bellinis?
- Bellinis.
- A lot of people do mimosas.
It's kind of hack at this point.
I do Bellinis.
- Do we have to stop in a
pirate alley to do this,
or can you just do it here?
- Well, I have to spread
it over the seat in the van
and I'll-
- I'm just worried about
getting k*lled or robbed.
- All right, I'm gonna pull over.
- You see-
- Okay, I'm gonna case the
alley like a German shepherd,
make sure no one comes after this.
- What?
- Do you have any conversations
with Bill Seacaster?
- Oh, no.
- Aww.
- I was gonna see if we can-
- We're in a real dead end.
- talk to him, yeah.
- I would love to speak to
my papa.
- Can we just leave this guy?
Can we just write him off?
- If I tell the other
followers of Old Bill-
Master Seacaster, Lord Seacaster,
you'll have an army at your beck and call.
- I mean, I'll have an
army at my beck and call.
- Do you need an army?
- Oh, would you turn down an army?
- You're one guy.
- I would take an army over anything.
- I don't think I would be good at armies.
- All right, well I think
I would be great at armies.
- Okay.
- Adaine-
- And you might need it.
- I think you'd be a k*ller at armies.
- Oh my god, thank you so much.
- I think anyone who
says, "I'm good at armies,"
wouldn't be good at armies.
- Okay.
- You're right.
- Adaine is the best at armies.
- Yeah!
- Can we all agree?
- Riz, you bite glass, all right?
You know, every-
- You bite glass!
- No.
- You bite glass.
- I was being Riz.
- Hey, guys,
- I heard this thing-
- I wish I had a pretzel.
- I think we lost our minds.
- Okay, can we go to McGrady?
What's this person's name.
- Do you know
where Garthy O'Brien is?
- Garthy O'Brien, yeah.
- All right.
- Yeah.
- So why don't we stop for a second
so that Alistair doesn't
lose their soul here.
- No, you don't lose your soul.
There's no soul stuff with Bill.
It would just be a financial incentive
for the other warlocks
to find and k*ll me.
- Great, let's pull over.
- Great.
- Yeah, let's pull over.
- Pull over. We'll
let you do your business.
- Great, thank you.
I appreciate it.
You guys pull over.
He goes into this little alley.
His little tiefling tail whisking around,
and he's got his hooves.
Kneels down, spreads the thing open,
spreads his little infernal,
skin-stitched pentagram open,
reaches in.
And you see he's going-
Like, he takes out a couple
of gold and then some silver
and then you see he's like
scrounging for copper pieces.
Seven, eight.
- It's kind of cute.
I think we should adopt him.
- Oh no.
- How much do you need?
- Just two silver and five
copper, and I'm settled.
- Yeah.
- Can I take those out of my coat?
- Yeah.
- It's less than 10 gold pieces.
- Absolutely.
You hand it to him, he
puts it in and he says-
his eyes go red and he says,
"Greatest pirate who ever lived or died,
scourge of the Nine Hells and
Captain of the Infernal Waste,
this should cover my
use of Minor Image today
and also a Disguise Self spell.
Hopefully that's settled."
You see that the gold disappears
in an eruption of flame.
Soot scatters across the alley,
partially covering Alistair.
He sort of wipes himself off.
He rolls the thing up,
slides into his thing.
Right, so we're all settled in.
- Great.
- That's great.
- Let's find Garthy O'Brien.
- Let's find Garthy.
- Can you take us to Garthy?
- Bring us to Garty.
- He says, "Great, Garthy O'Brien."
So you guys get in the van.
Leviathan doesn't have
too many carts or animals.
So you see Alistair says,
"The Leviathan's gonna be
more easily traversable
on foot at certain points,
but if you'd like I could, you know-
Maybe we, like, park the van somewhere.
Or we could also go the long way around
to get to the Gardens,
but you'd have to go under
into the Cannon Court
or you'd have to go
round to try and get to-
what would it be?
You could try to go through the Sternwood,
but I don't recommend it."
- Should we just send
the van out into the sea,
away from this,
and then have it come back to pick us up?
- Are we like pretty high up?
Would it just like fall
off a cliff, essentially?
- Van, can you fly?
Can the van fly?
- I don't know that it can fly.
I don't think it can.
- Fabian, do you know
if there's any sort of-
- Can I, wait-
- Parking lot situation?
- Oh, I definitely don't think
there's any sort of parking lot situation.
I'm sure there's a nicer part of town
that the van might be-
Oh, pirates. I really am not sure.
- Is it-
- Can we disguise it?
- Yeah.
- Can leave our hirelings with it?
- Yeah.
- And Sarah Lynn can always
fly back with on the Griffin
if there's trouble?
- Sarah Lynn, would you or Sandra Lynn?
- You see that Sandra Lynn says,
"I think that might be
a wise course of action.
I and Baxter can stay
here along with Gilear.
And it sounds like
Cathilda, maybe, shouldn't
be seen walking around."
- Although, Cathilda, if
someone does try to come,
shows who she really is and
then they'll be scared away.
- That's true.
- So you see she nods.
Ragh and Tracker both look and say,
"Should we come with you guys,
or should we stay here with the van
just to make sure it's safe?"
- Can they roll with?
- Yeah, come with us.
- Can I try something?
How do you talk to your
motorcycle when he's not there?
- Through, I guess,
some version of an Attuned Message spell,
is my best guess.
- Oh, I will, "Hey, Van?"
- Yeah?
- I'm going to try to reach
you with my mind later.
We'll see how that goes.
- Okay.
That sounds so good, dude.
- Awesome.
- Awesome.
You guys head off on foot.
Alistair starts leading you around.
As you guys begin to
journey through Leviathan,
you guys see that the fog begins to clear
as the sun comes out.
You begin to walk through the neighborhood
away from Maelstrom's Maw,
which is called Four Castles.
Alistair starts to describe it to you.
Four Castles is raised up
higher than a lot of the city,
and as the fog parts under the sunlight,
you guys begin to see the
actual bulk of Leviathan.
You guys can take one.
- Oh, yes!
- Oh, maps, maps, maps!
- Maps, maps, maps!
- Maps, maps, maps!
- Homeboy's out here making maps.
Gorgeous.
- So cool.
- Poop City.
- My God.
- You guys see
the vast bulk of Leviathan.
There is a huge central mast
that is like a skyscraper
in the middle of the city,
with a whole neighborhood up
in the rigging up above it.
Sort of the nicer parts of
the city are on the other side
from where you are right now.
The neighborhood you're going through,
you hear like shouts of
violence in the distance
and can smell smoke.
Alistair begins to bring you through here,
basically saying like,
"Well, the place that we are in right now
is called Four Castles.
And this is where a lot of, you know,
there's a lot of fighting
that goes on here for control
of these neighborhoods."
- Oh, I get it.
It's a pun.
- What's that?
- It's a pun.
- Well, there's Four Castles-
- Yeah, it's the folk store.
- What?
- It's a pun.
It's a ship pin.
- Oh, well, congratulations.
- Alistair, can I ask you about
the Sternwood?
- I don't know how to
respond to congratulations.
- Why wouldn't we wanna
go through the Sternwood?
- Oh, the Sternwood's full of beasts
and other various terrible things.
There was a time where people thought
that Leviathan shouldn't steal as much
and should make its own food,
so a group of Sea Druids
tried to make a place
where it would be arable ground and such.
And a whole terrible forest grew
and it's cursed in full of
monsters, so I'd avoid it.
- That sounds awesome.
- Woah.
- That honestly sounds cool.
- A dark forest?
- I mean, we're going
to another forest soon.
- It might be good to
get some forest prepping.
- I was kind of thinking that.
- We don't need a forest prep.
We need to find Garthy O'Brien.
- Forest prep.
- We're.
- Forest prep.
- Something to think about
for later, forest prep.
- We're not just gonna
swing by a cursed forest.
- Why don't we get outta here?
Because if we go straight
down into the mast,
we'll actually be going
through Cannon Court,
which is a little bit
more of a safer place.
- Okay.
- Great.
- So Alistair leads you
effortlessly through
this side of Leviathan.
- Can I peek down the Sternwood,
just to the cursed forest?
Just to see what I might see?
- A forest growing out of the
debris and rot of shipwrecks.
Every tree is more twisted
and cursed than the last.
A lot of them naturally,
the trees just form into
skulls growing out of the wood.
You also just can hear
weird cawing of crows
and other carrion birds.
- Just hanging onto Fig.
- Can I roll to see if
there's anything in there
that's like nightmare-adjacent?
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- Interesting.
Interesting.
- I'm still walking towards-
- We're looking for
nightmare-adjacent things.
- Seven.
- Seven?
You do not find-
Seven doesn't show you anything.
- Okay, actually-
- You're just-
- Can I cast Clairvoyance
and send an orb into the forest?
- You cast Clairvoyance.
You see that-
- I'm looking for a crown.
- You look into a forest.
- This could all be over soon.
- What?
We just break it.
- I love making mysteries for you guys,
because it's like, "Hey,
we're going to a forest.
This, also a forest."
- It's like
trying to solve a m*rder
by trying to solve a different m*rder.
It's like, "You know what?
A lot of people get k*lled in Chicago.
We should go to Chicago.
But they died in Seattle.
But, m*rder."
- But think about it.
Solving this Rubik's cube.
Rubik's cube, colors,
colors, this box of crayons.
- Yeah.
- It's all
about connections, man.
The human brain's all about connections.
- I genuinely just wanna
see some cool trees.
- There's- we're in a pirate city!
- Can we just like watch
the Clairvoyance-
- Everything's cool.
- orb like it's Netflix?
- Now-
- Yeah.
- You guys go down into Cannon Court.
Cannon Court is weirdly a, like,
subterranean neighborhood,
but it's subterranean in a place
that's not made of natural stone,
but artificially created ships.
So you see that this is, weirdly,
a neighborhood that is modeled
like a dwarven city would be,
where there are like subterranean areas
shaped out of old shipwrecks
but built as, like, civic spaces,
the way that dwarves build
large, public caverns and
chambers under things.
So you're walking through the
hollowed out hulls of ships
that have like dwarven gunpowder markets.
You see there are these sort of
pirate dwarves and gnomes around
who are pinching things outta barrels
and like eating little bits of gunpowder.
You guys get weird f*cking
looks as you walk through here,
by the way.
A group of just, like, Solesian teens
in, like, non-pirate garb.
- Ahoy!
- Right. Ahoy.
- This is the safer part of town?
- Oh yeah.
If you are up in Four Castles,
in the wrong part there,
you'll get k*lled just for
walking down the street.
- Isn't that where we parked our van?
- Oh, yeah, that's right.
- Oh boy.
- Well-
- It's fine, Gilear's there.
- Oh no!
Gilear!
- Do either of you have any
24-hour protection spells
that you could cast on-
- I have nothing.
- As long as he hides in the van.
- There's a Griffin there.
- Greater Invisibility lasts a minute,
so I can protect him for that long.
- You guys continue along
through the Cannon Court.
Go ahead and give me a group
Charisma check as you track.
- Oh boy.
- A group Charisma check.
- That's gonna be a 23 from Fig.
- That's a four for your boy.
- 25.
- An eight.
- A 10.
- Charisma saving
throw or Charisma check?
- Check.
- 15.
- Okay, four outta the
six got higher than a 10?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- I'm saying
hi to too many people.
- Yeah.
- Hello! Good day.
- Actually, I'm gonna say,
Riz, as you walk along-
- Hooray!
- You see that there is a dwarf
with a huge, double-braided beard
with firecrackers all through it,
who's got huge anchors on each arm.
As you're walking along,
you see he grabs you and goes,
"In the wrong part of town, gobby."
- I, uh-
- Looking to eat dwarf flesh, are ya?
- What? No, no, no, no.
- Takes a Flintlock p*stol out.
Open your mouth if you're hungry.
- I disguise myself as him
and I say, "Stay away."
- As him?
- Yeah.
- You disguise yourself
as the dwarf doing this?
- I come up and go, "You're dead.
You've been dead for days."
- I already ate you.
- You've been freaking
dead this whole.
- I already ate you, man.
- No, no, no, no.
We're gonna move past it!
I'm not going through another Hilda Hilda.
Your first thought to get this
guy to stop was to be him?
Him, as well?
Am I- Is it just me?
- Is anyone around say-
- You should grab her wrists
and say
- from here.
- I wanted to be someone of this world,
and he's the first person I've really met.
- The logic is sound.
- Okay.
- Logic is sound.
- All right. You disguise yourself as him.
You say, "You've been dead."
- You've been dead for days.
- Go ahead and give me a Deception roll.
- What about me?
- Actually, yeah, you
give me a Deception roll.
If you beat a 10, it'll
give a Help action here.
- Well, I already have Advantage.
- Yeah.
- Okay, you already have Advantage.
Here, gimme the Advantage roll.
- Okay.
That's going to be a 25.
- They're a superstitious bunch.
- What's this
dwarf with firecrackers
gonna do about that?
- Brennan, I already ate you, man.
I already ate you.
- You see he looks at you,
saying, "You've already been dead."
Looks at him.
What does Fig do disguised as him
when Kristen says, "You've been dead?"
- Let this life go.
- He turns,
sprints
through the marketplace.
There is a porthole overlooking
the side of the city,
like a giant, glass porthole.
He dives through it and kills himself.
- No!
- Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Screams, falls into the ocean.
Dead.
- No, I cast-
- Wait, no he was bad.
He was gonna k*ll me for being a goblin.
Don't save his life.
- Are you sure?
- He's goblin r*cist.
- k*lling people here is normal
and cool.
- He's was bad.
- All right?
- That was fine.
- I jump in after him.
- What?
- Whoa!
- I tackle you before you do it.
- I also tackle...
I tackle you.
- Tracker grabs you, too, and goes,
"Babe, babe, I know your
family's super r*cist.
You're projecting!
This is about your sh*t!"
- No, I just, I thought,
no.
- This about your sh*t.
That's a r*cist, bad pirate.
It's good that he's dead.
- He put a g*n in my mouth
and said, "Are you hungry?"
- Exactly.
- He called him a gobby.
- Okay, okay.
You're right, you're right.
- Babe, it's all right, it's okay.
- That person was not my parents.
- No.
- That person was not my
parents, and neither am I.
- Okay.
Shh.
- That was a crazy 30 seconds.
- We've walked about five feet.
- Riz, do you maybe
wanna walk on the inside?
I can
stand on the outside.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Yeah, you guys are realizing
you are extremely not in
your progressive homeland.
- I pull a tricorn hat
out of my coat.
- You pull a tricorn?
- So you look in your prep school uniform,
but you got a tricorn hat?
- No, I have
a denim jacket and a tricorn hat,
which is much more regular.
- Mm-hmm.
- Incredible.
- I'm just gonna keep on
this man as my disguise.
- Cool. You guys continue to
walk through Cannon Court.
- I cast light on my
tie-dye shirt so it glows.
- You're just glowing.
You see Alistair says, "Wow,
you guys are a whole lot."
- All right.
- Let's go, baby.
- Buddy, let's keep going.
- Let's find Garthy.
- You head through the
rest of Cannon Court,
and you emerge from underground
in the neighborhood of Galliard.
You look out and see, again,
the huge, spiring, craggy shipwrecks
of Leviathan all around you.
Gulls.
You see there's also like
aarakocra flying around,
way up, like skyscrapers-length
up above you.
Leviathan is filled with
the incredible wealth of all
these different seafaring-
different ships, and different
makes and stuff like that.
The nicer neighborhoods
further away, you can see,
tend to have actual
buildings built on them.
So the ships have been flattened
or had wooden platforms put on them,
so there's, like, flat
and level neighborhoods.
Whereas the jankier parts of town
are literally built into
diagonal, rounded ships' hulls
and things like that.
You walk through Galliard,
and as the late afternoon
sun begins to fill the city
with golden red light and you
see people come out sort of-
This place is sort of chaos, by the way.
You hear laughter, occasional
p*stol shots out...
There's just drunkards who've
openly soiled themselves
sleeping in the street in a lot of places.
Galliard is sort of the heart of the city,
so it's the big like party neighborhood.
It's the downtown.
You see that there's a lot of that
kind of New Orleans architecture
of, like, external second story balconies
where people are waving to
each other in the street
and drinking.
A lot of public houses here.
You begin to approach a place
that is not just one building.
But you see, instead, it is like coracles
and frigates and schooners and junks
that have been turned
into a renovated campus
of theaters, casinos, brothels,
all these buildings,
that have formed this hub of places to go
and lose the money you
just got as a pirate.
And as you open the door,
you see the liveliest show
of your life starts up.
You see that there are pirates
all around various corners.
There is a giant barrel of ale
that is just pouring into someone's mouth.
People laughing; ha, ha,
ha!
Someone fiddling over in the corner.
And you see that there
are huge alabaster hookahs
all around here
that people are enjoying
as they talk to themselves.
Alistair, as he approaches,
looks at you and says,
"Right, so welcome to the Golden Gardens.
This is sort of the place.
Do you know Garthy O'Brien?"
- He's a friend of my father's.
- Oh, well, in that case, you
see they're right over there.
You see he points over to the corner
where you see there's like
kind of the owner's table vibe.
Over in the corner
you guys see what must be Garthy O'Brien.
They're a tall, muscular,
half-orc Aasimar.
They're shirtless,
with a few accents of thin
line geometric tattoo work
around their wrists and biceps,
as well as some floral
tattoos on their midsection.
They wear no shirt,
but elaborate fabric-heavy
harem pants and fine boots
with like a myriad of
like belts and straps
and all that kind of stuff.
Their head is shaved
at the sides and back,
a little flop of black hair on top.
You can tell that they're Aasimar because
both their pupils and the
whites of their eyes are black.
So, like, the external and
interior of the eyes are black.
The irises are shimmering, metallic gold.
So it's like a black halo
superimposed on a jet black eye.
- Did you say half elf or half...
- Half-orc.
- Half-orc.
- Half-orc.
So they're like a celestial
heritage half-orc.
- Damn.
- Damn is right.
- Yeah.
- Damn.
- They also have accented that by-
they have a little accent
of metallic, silver makeup
on their lips and a
little around their eyes.
You see near them,
they're talking to a bunch of other people
that are working here.
Anyone else here can also
make Perception checks
or Insight checks if you want.
- Damn.
- Yeah.
- 13.
- 18.
- 21.
- 16.
- 9.
- I just got a 12.
- 12.
- 21?
21 is good.
So you see a couple things.
Number one, they have
immediately clocked all of you
and you can see that they
have a Concentration spell on.
You also-
- On themselves or on us?
- They're just holding
Concentration on a spell.
You see that they have
a massive, two-handed scimitar behind them
that has a lot of gold rings
sort of stamped into
the back of the blade.
So as it curves,
there's the sharp edge on the curve,
and there are gold rings
jangling on the back of it.
You also see that,
shout out to Pete the Plug,
they have scars on their chest,
as though they have gotten
some kind of surgery
that they have, like,
disguised a little bit
with some of those
geometric celestial tattoos.
- Cool.
- You see Garthy O'Brien
look over at all of you
as you approach,
and smile and beckons
you over to their table.
- I bow with my tricorn hat.
- You see Garthy leans back.
They look just so languid and comfortable.
You see they go, "Oh, lovey,
Alistair, my darling boy,
come here for a moment."
You see Alistair says, "Huh,
Garthy O'Brien knows my name?"
See?
The spells are worth it.
You pay for the spells,
and then people start to know your name.
You see Alistair walks over to Garthy
and Garthy gives them a familiar
sort of squeeze on the arm
and then looks up at the rest of you.
Well, well, well, welcome one
and all to the Gold Gardens.
If I can be of any service at all,
I trust that you will let me know, loves.
- You serve alcohol here?
- Oh, darling, we serve
far more than alcohol.
We serve snuff powder, dragon spice,
whatever you could desire.
- What's the dragon spice do to you?
- Dragon spice is snuff
powder cut with pure ketamine.
- Oh.
- I'll take a dragon spice.
As I say that, I shake my
head and stop being a goblin
and become Fig again.
- You see-
- I'm Figueroth Faeth.
- They look over at you and go,
"Oh, well, it seems that we have
some more like young Alistair here.
Now, if I didn't know better,
I would say I was looking at
a group of Solesian teens."
- Well, we're far more than that.
I'm sure you know me.
- Oh, darling, I would know you anywhere.
Young Fabian Aramais Seacaster.
Thank God you've got your
mother's looks, my boy.
- What is that, some kind
of dig at my father's looks?
'Cause I particularly- I believe my father
was a very handsome man,
and I would be lucky to have his features,
if I had gotten them.
- God, he's dead, dude.
You don't have to suck up to him.
- All right, I love my papa.
Nobody, nobody-
- Fabian, quit
saying you love your papa.
- I love my papa!
- You're allowed to look up to dad
without thinking he's super hot.
- I grab the biggest beer
nearby and just take a big sip.
- That's so much beer.
- Is this mead?
- We gotta pirates, guys.
- You see-
They look at you and say, "Well, no.
Yes, that is mead, but also,
darling, it's not yours."
- Whose is it?
Who are you drink-
- You see a- hold on a second.
Give me a Luck check to see
whose mead you just grabbed.
- That was a three.
- I'm really cas.
I'm leaning kind of back a little bit
as I chug this giant mead.
- It's pretty-
- You-
- It's very sweet.
- You grabbed this mead.
- I'm proud of it.
I'm proud of the choices I've made.
- You see, turning around from the bar,
you see a glaring,
terrifying presence turn around.
You see that a six and a half foot tall
mind flayer turns around.
Do you know what a mind flayer is?
- Yeah.
Oh yeah.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
A mind flayer, for those that don't know,
is an Underdark humanoid.
- Cool.
- They have a squid-like face
with, like, beady eyes
and tentacles that come out
of the bottom of their head,
so you can't see the beak underneath.
They eat brains.
That's what they do.
This-
- So think "Stranger Things."
- They eat brains,
but also drink beer?
- This mind flayer turns around,
and is wearing a bright,
scarlet coat, blue shirt,
a, like, intense-looking,
crystalline saber at their side
and goes-
- Don't drink that!
Drink this!
I pull a 10 gold piece
worth of mead bottle-
- Hit a G note.
- out of the-
- Yes!
- hit a G note.
- Give me a Persuasion with Disadvantage.
- Oh no.
- Oh.
- I give-
- If I give the Help action-
- Actually, I'm gonna
use my Divination roll,
and so I get a 16.
- You get a 16?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
Awesome.
Oh, how does Portent
work with Disadvantage?
Yeah, I guess that works.
You get a 16.
What does that get to
with your Persuasion?
- It's a 15, which I added.
- Plus one to.
- Yeah, I don't have Hype, so.
- You see that this
Illithid mind flayer captain
turns around and the
entire bar goes silent.
- Well.
I see you helped yourself
to a drink there, lass.
- Oh, uh...
Oh.
I just- I lean so far back
that I'm almost laying on
the ground of this bar.
So I thought maybe these
were on the counter to grab,
like-
I thought-
- Oh, are things here in
the bar just for grabbing?
And you see that, amongst
his face tentacles,
there is one little
tentacle that is a peg leg.
It's like a wooden one.
See?
And that one he uses to caress your face.
And you see that Tracker-
You see he goes, "Well, lass, I-"
and Tracker goes, "Under
no circumstances,"
and swats his tentacle away.
30 people at the bar draw swords.
Shing!
You see Garthy stands up and they say,
"All right, everyone's being, frankly,
and I do hate to use harsh
language, ridiculous.
I'm going to need all of
you to kindly abscond.
You've drawn weapons here.
So if you are drawing weapons,"
and you see that they reach
back and grab their scimitar,
"Then I will have to draw weapons as well.
So how do we wanna play
it, lads and lasses?
How do we feel?"
You see that the Illithid
turns to look at you,
turns to look at you, and says,
"I would nay drink
in the same bar as the son of a coward."
- You talkin'- you talkin' to me?
- Bill Seacaster died on land.
He died more than a
hundred miles from the sea.
He's come here to tell those of Leviathan
how to live their lives.
I say Bill Seacaster was a scurvy dog.
Gimme an Intelligence check.
- Okay.
Uh, 12.
- You know this man.
This is the captain of the Crimson Claw.
This is an Illithid pirate
who your father fought
with, time and again,
during his life.
This is Captain James Whitclaw.
He looks at you and says,
"I say this.
Your father was no true pirate.
When he made his fortune,
he turned and ran,
dragging the Hangman outta the sea.
I've come back to Leviathan
to let it be known there
will be a new order.
Do you have anything to say
about that, landlubber?"
- I'm no landlubber.
My father is the greatest
pirate that ever lived.
You, James, are the captain of a two-bit,
piece of sh*t stick of wood
that dare never sail again.
You've come here to
make a fool of yourself,
and I personally consider myself lucky
that I will have the pleasure of laughing
along with the rest of Leviathan.
And I kick him in his f*cking chest.
- Ahoy!
- Ahoy!
- I down the mead.
- Incredible.
First of all,
go ahead and make an Intimidate
check with Advantage.
- Right.
Two 13s for-
- Here we go.
- 18.
- 18?
- Oh, excuse me-
Uh, yeah, 18.
- 18
Go ahead and make your Attack
roll to kick him in the chest.
- Great.
- Nat one.
- Ooh!
- That is cruel.
Fate, you are cruel!
- That was such a good monologue!
- A beautiful monologue,
and you ruined it!
- Fabian's ability to fall on his face
after saying something cool.
- Can I throw Fabian in the air?
Make him do an Acrobatics check?
- I'm gonna say make a-
you wanna throw him in the air?
- Just to give him the
Acrobatics to maybe, like,
redirect something.
- I'm gonna go ahead-
So you've rolled a Nat one.
Gorgug attempts to throw you in the air.
Go ahead.
You're gonna need a 25
Acrobatics to do something here.
- I need a 25?
- In order to extemporaneously-
- Can I do a Strength check?
- Sure.
Give me a DC 25 Athletics.
- Can I go into a rage and just throw him?
- Cool, go into a rage.
If you don't hit a 25 here,
something even worse is gonna happen
for you trying something.
- Hell yeah.
Oops.
Oh, f*ck.
- It's c*ck.
- A c*ck Nat 20.
26.
- Okay, you may roll this
attack with Advantage.
- Oh, God.
That is a 19.
- Cool.
A 19.
You do not collapse and fall into a pile.
A 19 does not hit.
You see that you go to kick for his chest,
and Gorgug, like, slams into
your back to send you forward.
You see that as you go,
your foot comes up,
and James grabs your foot,
pulls you towards him,
gets in close.
And for a second all you see is
beak and tentacles splaying
out, coming right for your face.
And you hear probably would sound like
10 or 20 of Garthy's
voices at the same time,
this like susurrus of voices.
And they say, "Enough!"
And there is a blast of air.
Everyone is knocked on their a*s.
You see that Garthy
stands up and they say,
"All right, loves.
That's the end of the party.
Captain James, you and your
friends have drawn steel.
You know that's against the rules, mate,
so off you toddle."
James looks at you.
You have ended in a draw
here, where no one was cut,
no actual blows were exchanged.
He looks at you and says,
"It's not over, boy."
- Oh, not at all.
- Captain James and his crew exit.
- See you, James.
- Bye, James.
Nice to meet you.
- Can I flick, like,
just a little piece of bronze
at him and be like, "Here's for the beer."
- You see that one of his
tentacles whips out, grabs it.
And you see Tracker yells out,
"I know we're all being glib,
but don't f*cking touch women
without their permission."
And you see that as the pirates leave,
Tracker looks over you and says,
"I don't give a f*ck if
we're in a pirate city.
We're just gonna-
- No, yeah.
- I don't give a f*ck.
- No one's touching my hips
and trying to get by at the bar.
Okay, no.
- If I see a f*cking hand
or a hook or a peg leg go for
the small of someone's back,
it's on.
- I say, "Would you touch a man like that?
Men aren't walking around
touching the smalls of each
other's backs to get around.
No, you just move around."
- You guys need to get Hellish Rebuke.
'cause literally anytime
someone touches me,
I just spit flames.
- Um, so-
- I like that.
- You see Garthy
snaps their fingers,
and the music kicks up again.
Garthy looks over and they say,
"Well, that was a little bit of a party
we almost threw for ourselves, wasn't it?
You certainly have some spark."
- I mean, yeah. I'm my father's
son through and through.
- Well, I understand that
your father passed away,
and I am very sorry to hear that.
- It's fine.
I k*lled him.
- I heard that as well.
I didn't know the man as a
true close and personal friend,
but I can't help but think
that's how he would've wanted to go.
So loveys, what brings us to
Leviathan and the Gold Gardens?
- We were actually hoping to speak to you.
- Yeah.
- Speak away.
- We-
- Is there anywhere we can
speak to you in private?
- Absolutely.
The Gold Gardens are home to all sorts of-
Would you like to play
some cards, take in a show,
smoke some hookah?
- I think we're just looking for privacy
so we can have some words.
- Yeah, we just wanted to
talk to you about any...
- Okay. Well, I'd like some hookah,
so I'm gonna go to a hookah room.
- I would like some more mead.
- Absolutely.
- This time, I can buy it.
- Darling, of course.
You see that-
- I will take the dragon spice.
- You see that they
snap their fingers.
Some dragon spice and some mead come over.
- Sweet.
- And they lead you guys into this plush,
lovely little hookah lounge
in this, like- it's effectively
like a pirate Moulin Rouge,
like a multi-building-
- Yeah.
- Like-
- Okay.
- Entertainment, gambling, sex work.
You see there's like some health and well-
You see there's sort
of crusty, old pirates
getting massages and
acupuncture over in a corner.
This place looks like the f*cking best.
They lead you into this hookah
area and sit down and go,
"So, loves, you've come all this way,
and I can't help but notice
that you're coming with
young Mr. Ash here."
And you see that Alistair
nods, and you see he says,
"So you've heard that your father
has not truly abandoned
the city of Leviathan."
- I'm sorry, what?
How do you figure?
- Well, his acolytes and
followers are still very present.
- Oh, that's right.
- Though they are extremely destitute.
- It doesn't seem like a good situation.
- Alistair says, "I think it's great.
I really like it."
- I mean, intellectually,
yes, it's very fun.
I enjoy the idea of it,
but I worry about the
followers getting caught
in some sort of trap.
- If any of you are interested,
I have a small presentation.
- Do we get anything if we
watch the small presentation,
regardless of whether we join or not?
- A Bellini.
- Yes, you do get one Bellini.
But if I could,
I would need one of you to front the money
for me to be able to go buy the Bellinis.
- All right, well, we'll do that later.
- Yeah.
- At some point.
- What?
Oh.
- Garthy looks up and says,
"So you understand that Leviathan
is in a precarious situation?
I think our friend, Captain James,
who arrived here only this morning,
wants to undo
some of what the late,
great Bill Seacaster did
when he was the terror
of the Celestine Sea.
- What, precisely, did Bill Seacaster do?
Just his presence, his name,
his reputation, James wants to undo?
- I believe-
If what James was saying
is true, he means to-
My father was, you know-
As much as he believed in
the nature of captainship
and the whole captain and crew
and no democracy sort of thing,
was not a fan of the
idea of a pirate king.
And I guess there was one before,
but then my father came and k*lled him
and then was like, "Never again."
So as far as I understand,
there hasn't been a
pirate king in Leviathan
since my father.
But-
- If you get a chance,
it's sort of touristy,
but you could head over to Gibbety Square
and see the old pirate king's head,
which has been artificially
preserved with magic,
stabbed through the tongue with a dagger,
and hangs from the mast in
the center of Gibbety Square.
- Dibbity Square?
- Dibbity Square?
- Gibbety.
- Oh.
- With a sign hanging from it that says,
"No kings for a captain."
- That's my papa.
- That's touristy?
- Very tourist- It's like,
"Oh, let's go to Gibbety Square
and take in the sights."
- It's in the rick stage.
- We're tourists.
- Yeah.
- I'm not gonna apologize
for wanting to go the city.
- We're travelers.
We're not tourists.
- I'm kind of a tourist.
- We're adventurers.
We're not here for-
- Gorgug, we're adventurers!
- What were you meeting with
- I'm an adventurer,
- Bill Seacaster about
- traveler...
- in the Hotel Cavalier?
- Oh, I see that you know
little more of my business
than I had anticipated at first.
Well-
- I'm sorry.
I'm-
- She's so drunk.
- I'm two-thirds of the way
through this second mead.
- Mead is so strong.
It's stronger than wine.
- It just tastes like
I'm just drinking honey.
- Why are you drinking it?
- Tracker goes, "Babe, are you okay?"
- I think I'm more than okay.
- You see that they look at you and go,
"So I was supplying your father
with palimpsests.
- Mm.
- I trade in a lot of fine goods,
and especially those that
are magical in nature.
So I was able to provide Captain Seacaster
with a certain measure of palimpsests,
as well as other gems and
artifacts of the like.
I had a regular meeting with him.
The last time I went to Bastion City,
there was a- well, how do you say it?
Well, we had always scheduled
so that I would go to the room,
there was a secret compartment.
I would drop it there, he would come in.
Because part of his
general amnesty with Solace
was that he couldn't be seen
with any active pirates.
So we had to work that out, right?
Now, the last time I went,
the staff had all changed up.
Different people were working there.
And I made the drop,
and the staff came and said
to me basically, you know,
"Hey, we need to work something out here,
because Bill's not coming."
And I said, "Likely story.
I'm gonna f*ck off and not
have anything to do with this."
And then they all transformed into demons
and that sort of-
- Mm, yes.
- They took a velvet pouch of mine
that had some goods that I was
selling to some other buyers
and also some things I had
bought to bring back here.
- Gems?
- Gems.
- Gems, that's right.
- Do you ever get
gems from the Red Waste?
- You see he says, "From the Red Waste?"
- Yeah.
- No, not particularly.
I mean, occasionally but,
you know, not as a rule.
- Hmm. - Do you know anything
about the Shadow Cat?
- Shadow Cat?
- Kalina?
- I don't know the name Kalina, darling,
but the name Shadow Cat does ring a bell.
- Can I show the picture?
- You show them the picture.
You see they look at it and go,
"Just a rather cute goblin
holding onto nobody."
- Can I do an Insight
check to see if they're-
- Sure.
- If they're telling the truth?
- They called your dad cute.
- Is there any way to tell
what spell someone is concentrating on
without actually casting magic?
- I can cast Detect Magic as a ritual.
It'll take us 10 minutes,
and it'll be obvious that I'm-
- I mean, you're-
- sitting here casting
- a ritual spell.
- Yeah.
- Anyone that wants to can give a-
- I can do an Arcana check.
- Yeah, gimme an Arcana check.
- I have 26 on my Insight
into them.
- 14.
- Cool.
14.
You think that they are
maintaining Concentration
on Detect Evil and Good.
- Oh, okay.
- They're just trying-
They just hang out in the bar
and keep an eye on for it.
- Right.
- Great.
- Can I-
- Do you have-
- The gems that you've lost,
did you have a Celestial
trapped in one of them?
- I did. It was a rare find.
I was bringing it back.
- Cool.
- Interesting.
- I have a question.
- We've been learning about that.
- Cool.
- Have you ever encountered a gem,
in all of your gem-dealing,
that looks clouded over?
- Clouded over?
Mm.
Some gems have imperfections or flaws,
small cracks inside that make
a sort of cloudy look, but-
- No, something like this.
- You see their eyes go wide.
Those golden irises literally like rotate,
and they look and say,
"Oh dear, that's a flawless ruby.
May I?"
- You can touch it while it's in my hand.
- Cautious.
Touches it.
Darling, that's holding
onto a powerful fiend,
I hope you know.
- Yeah, it's my Dad.
- Oh, lovey, I'm so sorry.
How long has your Pa been in there?
- Couple days.
- Oh?
- Yeah. We have a relationship, yeah.
- Well-
- But it's all clouded over,
isn't it?
- You see they look and-
hold on one second.
The demons were trying to grab gems there.
I think, honestly, in my escape,
I think they had set up
at the Hotel Cavalier
because they had found some clue
that I was going to be there.
They were trying to find their way
to get a hold of these gems like that.
So the one they were most
excited about was that one.
But they couldn't use it,
because it already had a
celestial bound into it.
So it was rubbish by the
time they got it, right?
Any of the gems that
were empty in my pouch
weren't big enough for what
they were looking to bind.
So they had to start
looking further afield.
These demons, by the way, were-
They hadn't gotten to the
Prime Material by honest means.
They'd been summoned and bound here.
And detecting what I could,
I mean, I'm not, you know, a
studied magician by any means,
but they had sort of a-
what would you call it?
The summons that had been placed on them
had been there for hundreds of years.
They were fulfilling
some debt or obligation
to a being capable of binding
an extraplanar being for centuries.
- The crown of the
Nightmare King can do that.
- Yeah.
- What'd you say?
The crown of the Nightmare King?
- Mm-hmm.
- Are you familiar
with the Nightmare King?
- It passed through the
Gold Gardens not long ago.
- What?
- When?
- I'm sorry?
- Wait, the Nightmare King?
- The crown or
the Nightmare King?
- Not the Nightmare King, darling.
That would've been
- The crown.
an apocalypse.
- I mean, if the Nightmare King were-
- Somebody had
the crown and was here?
- Where did it go to?
- An Elven woman came
through the Golden Gardens.
- Was it this woman?
I show a picture of my Mom.
- Lovey, it was.
Do you know her?
- Uh, yeah, we've met.
- Ah.
Family can be challenging,
that's for sure.
- Well, but also I don't
trust the Nightmare King
to not create something
that looks like my mother
to mess with us.
- She came here with the crown
after...
She came here with the crown
to have some curse breaking done on it.
I'm a bit of a touch with
curse breaking, just naturally.
I handled that for her,
and she had put some sort
of aura on it,
and so I didn't know what
I was breaking a curse on
until after I'd broken it.
And after that point I said,
"You have to get that outta
my f*cking place of business,
post-haste."
- What kind of curse
were you breaking?
- A curse placed on her.
The crown of Nightmare King
is a powerful talisman, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- So
she had been fighting a curse
that had been put on her
just by handling the crown to begin with.
- Oh.
- And by breaking that curse,
she was able to handle it more freely.
- Hmm.
- Do you know where she went?
- After she came here,
well, she talked about-
She was frustrated that she couldn't get
to where she was trying to get to
by honest means.
I don't think she could teleport there
because she had never been there before
and didn't have a description of it.
- Hmm.
- The forest, maybe?
- Has she been to Fallinel?
- Yeah, she's from Fallinel.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- So maybe it was the forest.
- So she's not headed towards Aelwyn?
- Did you say anything
about, like, her kids
or anything like that?
- I didn't ask.
- Mm-hmm.
- People come here to
get away from family,
for the most part.
- So when you say you can
naturally break curses,
do you think you can break
the curse on that ruby?
It's sort of a trap, I guess,
but we were just wondering.
- They look at it and come
up with the same conclusion
that Kristen came up with,
which is that there's no way to break it
without getting to the
contingency inside of it
that it's going to destroy Gorthalax.
- What does it feel like
for him to be in here?
- Well,
I could tell you a very sweet
lie, which is more my style.
- I put my arm around Fig.
- I think I want the truth.
- It probably hurts a great deal.
But if your Pa is as powerful as he feels,
I imagine that pain is
not something that he's
unable to withstand, darling.
He is from the Nine Hells, after all.
Pain's kind of their thing.
- This is a sort of a change of subject
that as the gears are turning my brain,
I'm worried that people
are gonna get mad at me
when I say it out loud,
but what's going on with your tattoos?
- I was actually thinking that as well.
They're beautiful.
- Oh darling, thank you.
I do like them.
Well, they're-
The tattoos in Celestial,
they mean something, you know?
I'm descended from the Zajiri.
Do you know what that is?
- Zajiri?
Hmm, no.
- So it's kind of funny, yeah?
Because there are the
gods of the upper planes,
Helio and the like,
and those gods have
attendant angels and such,
beings that serve them.
And then they often have fiends
that live in the lower
planes that oppose them.
But it's kind of funny, right,
because the fiends are actually
a part of the same pantheon,
yeah?
They're a part of that belief system,
so in a weird way, even
though they're opposed,
they are in a similar faction, yeah?
It's like the devils of the Nine Hells
that are fallen angels of Helio
aren't the servants of dark gods.
They're actually just
opposition to the gods of light.
Now what most people don't know
is that the same is true
of the gods of darkness.
So the orcs, yeah, have their God,
the God of, you know- Gruumsh One-Eye,
god of slaughter, right?
And Gruumsh has his
attendant servants, yeah?
But there are actually celestials
that exist, like fiends,
in opposition to that dark god.
- Are any of the celestials
fallen from Gruumsh?
- Yes, my ancestors.
The Zajiri are the
reverse of a fallen angel.
We're like-
- A risen devil?
- A risen devil, you might say.
My ancestors, the Zajiri,
represent- in the Orc-ish belief system,
which is all about w*r
and stuff like that-
- It's really sharp leaves.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I died once.
- You see that they point to
the floral tattoos on their side,
and there's some sharp leaf designs there.
They look and say,
"Basically, the Zajiri
represent everything in life
that is soft and beautiful and wonderful.
Things that are pleasing
and pleasurable, right?
But they represent that in a bad way.
It's temptation, yeah?
So the Zajiri are kind
of like holy succubi.
The job is to f*ck people
into being decent, basically.
- Oh cool.
- Wow.
- Huh?
- That's a job?
- I would-
- I'm about that.
- watch a show about that.
- That's cool.
- So you had a gem with a celestial in it?
- Yes, that's right.
- And was that celestial an evil being?
- Was that celestial an evil being?
No, that celestial was not an evil being.
- Okay.
- That celestial's name,
I believe, was Zaphriel.
They were a celestial of hanging
out and having chill times.
- Okay.
- They were planetar, right?
- Was just making sure.
- Yes, that's right.
Yeah, absolutely.
- What is a planetar?
- Planetar is second in the angelic order,
underneath a solar.
- Cool.
- Little bit of cosmology.
So you've come here
chasing the crown of the
Nightmare King, yeah?
- I have a question.
Is the- wait.
Would the Nightmare King have, like,
a risen devil equivalent of it?
Or that's more like-
- We don't know where it's
even really from, I think.
- Hmm, yeah.
- Well, that's sort of
the issue, isn't it,
is that the Nightmare
King is an abomination.
I mean, he defies
categorization, you know?
I know that he has, in the
past, allied with demons,
which is part of why- and the Shadow Cat-
You haven't encountered this
Shadow Cat at all, have you?
- I think we did.
- We have people
in our party who have.
- We've seen the Shadow Cat.
- Okay.
- The Shadow Cat is in this picture,
but you can't see it and we can't see it,
but some people can and we
haven't figured out how yet.
- I think it's if they've met,
if someone's met the Shadow Cat.
- But then why would Riz's
mom have met the Shadow Cat?
- Have you met the Shadow Cat?
- 'Cause she worked with my dad.
- No, darling, I haven't.
- No, but why would Sandra Lynn, then,
have met the Shadow Cat?
- Because she worked in the-
Like, people that worked
in the Celestian Sea
had crossed paths, possibly,
with Shadow Cat.
- Yeah, I mean, maybe.
That seems so random.
- I think that's what was described
last time we talked about it.
- So you've come seeking the
crown of the Nightmare King.
The only thing I can give you
is the information that's, you know-
I effectively was doing
business with Bill Seacaster.
That alerted these demons to my location.
They came finding gems
and such. And when they-
They needed the gem for
some kind of ritual.
There was something
involving like a sacrifice
or something along those lines.
- Right.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- They tried that.
- On you?
- Yeah.
- Oh!
I'm so sorry, love.
- I'm okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- It was me who did it.
- And then saved him.
- Not of my own accord.
- The Nightmare King is a-
He's bad.
- Someone came to me in my
dreams and controlled me
and had me put my own dad in a gem
and try and k*ll my friend.
- You've been through an awful lot, love.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, if there's any help you need now,
what I can tell you is that
the woman that I kicked out of here
made her way back out
to a ship in Hull Cliff,
and I believe that ship may
have been bound for Fallinel.
- Hmm.
- Okay.
- That makes sense.
- So perhaps she's trying to free-
- Do you know
the name of the ship?
- Sorry, love, I didn't catch it.
- Okay.
- If she had the crown,
would that make it easier
for her to free Aelwyn?
- I would bet.
- I mean, who knows?
- What lengths to go to, though?
I would think she would
have diplomatic means
to free Aelwyn,
that she wouldn't need to resort to-
- Well, but they're no longer ambass-
My father isn't an ambassador anymore.
They're just-
- Yeah, but-
- Disgraced in Fallinel, maybe?
- Well, we could just head that way
and see what we see.
- Was Alistair-
- What flavor hookah is this,
by the way?
- What's that?
- What flavor hookah?
- Oh it's peach-mint-cucumber.
- Whoa!
- Okay, because here was a lot
going on, so it was hard to
guess just one.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I don't like
it too sweet, I'll be honest.
- Yeah.
- I like it a little more-
- Do you like passion fruit?
- Yeah, I like it.
You know, I want to-
it's like a solving a puzzle, you know?
- Yeah.
- Keep it interesting.
- Okay.
- I try the hookah
and just cough so much.
- Can we ask Alistair if he-
who he sees in this picture?
- Alistair looks at the
picture and you see he says,
"Oh, right, well,
there's a goblin, right?"
- Mm-hmm.
- Looks kinda like you.
That's nice.
- Cool.
- You don't see anything else?
- It was worth a try.
- Is this a painting?
It's really good.
- It's a really good painting.
- It's a really good painting.
You don't see another person there?
You just see one person?
- I'm sorry, am I making a mistake?
- No.
- No!
- No, you got it right.
- Can I Message Fabian and say,
"Should we try to pay Garthy
for their silence on everything?"
- Garthy?
- Garthy.
- I mean, they seem to be
quite the business person,
and it's bad business to talk about
business you do with others.
I mean, we could pay them,
but, I don't know, it
feels like they can be-
I mean, they did very quickly tell us
they'd seen Adaine's mother, so.
- Yeah, I guess I was just-
I mean, I wouldn't mean
it in like a rude way.
I would mean it in sort of like a respect,
like I know that money is
what greases the wheel.
- Like offering?
- Garthy-
- I can't figure out how to-
- Would it be crazy if I got a tat?
- Would you like a celestial tat?
- I don't know.
I think it'd be kind of cool.
- Um-
- I think you should.
- You see them look at you and say,
"Oh, maybe a little sort of
Zajiri reverse demonic
celestial scripts on you."
Says, "Well, it would
be a lovely celebration
of your orcish heritage.
And, I mean,
it's kind of the orcish
version of being a satanist,
but you're also a good guy,
so it's kind of like a win-win."
- It sounds awesome.
- Can I get just "pain" in
Zajiri on my inner wrist?
- You see that-
- To remember that's what's
going on with Gorthalax?
- Garthy looks up and says,
"You know that you get a free
tattoo with a room here?"
- We'll get a room as well.
- Can we get the room without the tattoo?
- I will also
not take the tattoo.
- Listen,
listen.
No one's gonna force you to get a tattoo.
- Okay.
- But you do get one
and we can't waive that.
So you can give it to someone else,
you can hold it on your tab.
- They can have my tattoo.
- I'll definitely get a tattoo.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
You-
- Yeah, I'll get "pain" here
and "pleasure" here.
- Duality.
- You get a little ping-
- Oh no, we're 17.
- You get a little ping, Gorgug,
from the Hangvan going,
"Hey, hey, come in."
- What's up?
- Over and out.
- Hey, I can hear you.
- Whoa, awesome.
- Yay!
- So we've been discovered by bandits.
- Oh no.
- And pretty much they
are rocking me hard while-
- And where is everyone?
- Hmm?
- Where's everyone else?
- A lot of people are hiding inside me.
Gilear is either dead or unconscious.
- Okay, who
wants to Dimension Door?
- I think we're too far to
Dimension Door, aren't we?
- Yeah, we're like
halfway through the city.
- Yeah.
- I feel like I can motor
through these guys pretty easy.
Should I head to where you're all at?
- Might be pretty disruptive.
Yeah.
- Okay, I'm gonna-
Beep, beep!
Hey, everybody, get outta the way.
I'm gonna run over you.
So sorry.
You hear a voice coming
over the radio saying,
"Uh, Cathilda has brought me back to life
with some kind of potion.
I'm going to do my best to drive the van."
Oh!
- The van drives itself.
- No, it specifically doesn't.
Oh God!
I'm responsible for what I'm doing.
And-
- Did you tell him his name?
- Who, the van?
- Yeah.
- Your name's Van Boat.
- No!
His real name.
- No, I think it's Van Boat.
- Oh.
- You guys, for rooms here,
the most basic is two gold pieces a night.
You can go up to 10,
for a little bit nicer
with some amenities,
and there's like a 50
gold piece premium pass,
which is like-
- Will that fit all of us?
- I'm getting a 50 gold piece for Gilear-
- I'm getting-
- And a two gold piece for myself.
- What are you doing?
You think Gilear's
gonna make it here?
- I'm The Secret-ing it.
I'm willing it into existence.
- How big is the 50 gold piece room?
Is this like a suite situation
that we could all comfortably stay in?
- Oh, 50?
If you guys want to get multiple
suites, you totally can.
If you wanna be in the same
place or like chip in, like-
- I just feel like it would be safer
for us to all be in this-
- Yeah,
let's all be in the same place.
- Yeah, maybe I'll talk
to Tracker and say,
"Can we keep doing that?"
- You guys can get the
full benefit of, like,
the entertainment and food for everybody,
and then just one big suite together
for a round price of 300 gold pieces.
- Hey.
- Okay.
- Pricey, but...
- Sounds great.
- Okay.
- How are we dividing it up amongst us?
- I'll get this one, then you guys
can get the next one-
- Yeah, we'll figure it out.
- In the next city.
Great.
- I feel like we should each chip in money
into a pool-
- Yeah, I'm cool if we just-
- And then we can just pull from the pool.
- Pool our money.
- I think Fabian's got it.
- I really,
I do have got this.
I do have got this, guys.
I do have got this.
- Thanks, Fabian.
- So are all of our
loved ones and hirelings
currently hurtling here?
- Driving through bandits?
- Yeah!
- Being driven by Gilear
through the Sternwood?
Do we need to do something about that,
or we just wanna-
- I kind of think
I should disguise myself
and run out and, like,
just be back up in case
they like run into a store.
- You wanna fly?
- Yeah,
I do.
- Great.
Can I cast Fly as a fourth-level
spell on both me and Fig?
- Woo!
- Yes, you absolutely can.
- Great.
- You guys-
- It's 10 minutes.
- Okay.
- You guys fly
over the Sternwood in the evening.
- Can I hang on to somebody's back
and fly with them?
- Yeah.
- For sure.
- Thank you.
- Look out for arrows!
- Oh yeah, then maybe I should cast it on-
- But I can also cast Darkness on us.
- Oh, great.
- So we're just a flying-
- Okay, and I have
darkvision because of Boggy.
- Incredible.
So
you take off flying into the night sky.
You see the headlights of the van
moving through Four Castles, just
running over pirates.
Yar!
Beep, beep!
Gilear going, "I'm crying
so hard that I can't see!"
And just tearing off
down these wooden planks.
What do you guys do as you arrive here?
- I think we're just
there to like watch the-
- Yes.
- We wanna make sure the van gets through.
- Yeah.
- You guys see that Tracker, actually,
is gonna come with you guys, too.
- Great.
- She transforms into a like-
again, like, she fully
becomes that spectral wolf
and flies by running alongside you guys.
- Rad.
- You see that where she runs,
where her like ghostly,
glowing, translucent feet touch,
a forest path appears in the
air briefly underneath her
and fades as she lifts her feet.
Whew! Rushing through the air.
As you guys arrive over at the van-
Or, yeah, what do you do
as you approach the van?
- Let's just maybe like hop on top of it.
- Yeah, I was thinking I could
maybe just take over
for driving from Gilear,
because he seems very-
- Oh, that's true, too.
- Yeah, let's just fly into the-
- Cool.
- Yeah.
- You guys see that Cathilda-
we'll just do a little
bit different music here.
You see that as you guys go,
you see Cathilda is leaning out,
hurling daggers at people,
just arrows are raining down
from Sandra Lynn up above,
flying over with Baxter.
As you guys approach,
you see that Sandra Lynn
goes, "Just in time!
Thanks for coming!"
You guys fly in, Tracker rushes in,
Gilear's in the driver's seat.
You see that Ragh has been
fighting, like, tremendously.
As you guys rush in, just
you guys roll Initiative.
So Riz, Adaine and Fig.
- Are we just smoking hookah?
- You're smoking hookah,
having a ball.
- Great.
- Am I getting a tattoo?
- Seven.
- 19.
- Three.
I rolled a Nat one.
- Awesome.
What does Riz-
- Oh.
- What's the first thing that
Riz does as he approaches?
They're just like a hoard
of about like 10 pirates
coming out onto the street,
blasting at the Hangvan
as Gilear drives it.
- I think I'm gonna
like hop in Gilear's lap
as I like push him out
of the way and I go,
"Get outta the way, Gilear.
I've k*lled people before, it's fine!"
- Cool.
You are like jumping.
Give me an Acrobatics to leap in there.
- That is 15.
- Cool.
You leap in.
As you leap in, give me
a Dexterity saving throw.
I'll call it a DC 15.
- Okay.
Oh no.
Oh, 15.
- Oh, hey!
- Hell yeah.
- You do not hit Gilear in the head
and knock him unconscious.
He goes, "Ugh, very well.
Young Riz, thank God you're here.
I've taken so many lives,
I can't stop crying."
- Hey, you're an adventurer now, Gilear.
- Oh why?
After Riz goes-
- Perfect.
- You see Ragh fully bleeding out.
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
- Ragh was with us in the-
- Ragh was with you guys.
- Yeah.
- My mistake.
- He's currently hitting
that hookah real hard.
- Cool.
You guys see that Tracker flies up
flies up to where Sandra Lynn is.
That's next.
What did you guys get over here?
- I got seven.
- Seven.
- I got a three.
- Fig, you're next to go.
- All right, you said
there's groups of pirates
coming at us?
- Yes.
- Okay, I wanna target
the group of pirates
that I can target the most
with a 10-foot radius sphere
and shatter them.
Ideally if they're like under an awning,
so that then the awning collapses on them.
- Awesome.
You can get four of these
pirates with one shatter.
- Okay, cool.
I'll do that then.
And I'm gonna do it at a third level.
- Do you just roll damage for that?
- Well, they do-
They do a Constitution save,
and they get (Emily
coughing) 21 Thunder Damage.
- Ooh, 21 Thunder Damage?
- Yeah.
Or, I mean, half if they save.
- Okay.
Hold on one second. I'll
roll for these four.
You see that as you-
ooh, those are bad rolls.
You see that as you
on your bass, flying,
you're a flying rockstar,
two of these pirates turn around and say,
"What be the-"
And you see that they just fully explode.
The other two are grievously injured.
Oh, it feels like metal somehow.
- That's rock, baby.
This is what I've been
telling y'all about.
- Ah!
- That is Fig.
That is going to be Adaine.
- Yeah, I'm gonna cast Lightning
Bolt out in front of us.
So it's a hundred foot line.
Anything in front of us
takes 8d6 Lightning damage
on a Dex saving throw.
- Awesome.
You can catch another
four of these pirates
with that Lightning Bolt.
- Okay, so that's 10.
- Ooh.
- 20. That's 30 damage.
- Oh, three of the four
are gone in an instant,
and the last one is half dead.
You've k*lled five of the 10 of them-
- Great.
- Right away.
- Oh, by the way,
also anybody who tries
to get in the back door,
my Snare spell lasts for eight hours,
and they have to do an
Intelligence saving throw
to spot the trap. Spot the...
- Awesome.
- Snare.
- These pirates are gonna go.
There's the green.
One takes a shot at Fig and misses.
Another takes a shot. Adaine, hits.
- Shield.
- Misses.
A little Abjurative shield
goes in front of you.
Pirate misses.
Most of the ones that you see
are dead on the ground
with arrows through them.
A bunch takes shots at Sandra Lynn,
who's been working these guys for a while.
Sandra Lynn, flying, says,
"Hell yeah, light 'em up!"
And you hear from (imitates
g*nshots) Flintlock pistols
and a p*stol ball goes under her arm
into her rib cage and she falls
off of Baxter.
- No!
- Sandra Lynn begins to fall.
Gilear is in the back.
Cathilda
quickly finishes off the two
that were injured by you.
That leaves only three left.
That's gonna go back to the
top of the order with Riz.
- Yikes.
Okay.
So Sandra Lynn is falling out of the air.
How many more pirates are there?
Are they just like sh**ting?
- About three of them that
have just shot Flintlocks.
- Got it.
Okay.
I am going to- I guess I'll
sh**t at the ones that-
- Go for it.
- are sh**ting Sandra Lynn.
- Cool.
- Unless I can hit them with the car?
- Actually, feel free to.
Give me just a Dexterity check.
- Sweet.
- Hey!
- Nat 20.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
- Go ahead.
I was gonna say this
is 4d6 Slamming damage.
Go ahead and roll 8d6.
- Yes!
- With the Hangvan.
- I wanna say, like, as I
push Gilear out of the way,
he's been super hesitant.
I lean out the window, like,
sh**ting in a direct line
so they have to move and
get in the way of the van
and then crush them.
Eight- nope.
Got it.
- He's got it.
- Five, eight, 16,
29 damage.
- Jesus.
The last three pirates
go
You see one of them hit Sandra Lynn.
He goes, "Yar!
Ah!"
Headlights. Beep, beep!
You see the van says, "Far out!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
as you just feel bodies
under the wheels of the van.
You see that Gilear goes,
"The shocks on the van
are not strong enough.
You can feel
the bones crunching
even while you're inside."
- I pass Boggy to him.
- I need the frog!
You see- that is Tracker's turn.
Tracker flies up,
catches Sandra Lynn.
- Woo!
- As she catches Sandra Lynn in her mouth,
you see Tracker flies down,
lands with Sandra Lynn on a rooftop,
transforms,
and you see that Tracker does this, like,
insane healing spell
where she changes her mouth
for a second to have fangs,
goes like,
bites into her own wrist
to tear open blood,
bites Sandra Lynn's wrist
and puts them together
and you see that blood
gushes out of her body
into Sandra Lynn's body-
- Woo!
- And Sandra Lynn
is basically almost
guaranteed fully healed.
- Oh.
- Whoa.
- Good job, Tracker.
- Yeah.
As she like exchanges blood
with Sandra Lynn for a moment
and Sandra Lynn is fully healed,
the ball is pushed outta
the wound in her chest.
And you guys are, almost
as soon as you started it,
out of combat.
- Ugh!
- All right.
- The whole time, we're smoking.
- Yeah.
- I'm almost too full of mead.
You know when you drink a lot,
it feels almost like you ate?
- Yes.
Yeah, it's like you don't
need dinner anymore.
It's like, "Mead was dinner."
- Calories wise, you're
probably around the same boat.
- Yeah, totally.
- You guys see your friends all come in
to the Gold Gardens.
- Starving.
- Honestly, drink mead.
- I can't drink mead.
I'm on meds.
- Okay, fine.
- I'm also straight edge.
- It's true.
- You-
- Straight edge except drugs.
- Except ketamine.
- Straight edge except drugs,
remember?
- What does that get you?
- It's just a lifestyle.
- Isn't straight edge
like virginity as well?
Isn't it like no sex?
- I think so.
- \{Emily] You know that's personal, huh?
- Okay.
- I thought you were
working on opening up.
- Wow.
- Well, look what good it did me.
- Right?
- Wow.
- You guys walk in.
- This bar is so jaunty.
- It's extremely jaunty.
But there's, like, other
places around here.
There's, like, a very raucous place.
There's also, like, a more
chill, laid back place
that might have like better food and-
- Yeah, let's go there.
- Cool, cool, cool.
You guys head over to
the more chill place.
You see that there's
cool shows going on here.
There's dancers and acrobats,
but they're kind of farther
away, so you can, like, relax.
There's not pressure to watch the show.
You guys are enjoying this incredible fare
of sort of, like, the hearty pirate stew
along with sort of a garlicy flatbread.
There's mead and wine and
liquor and whiskey flowing.
You see Sandra Lynn comes in and goes,
"Woo. I almost died."
- Yeah, are you okay?
Do you need any more hit points?
- Sweetie, I'm good.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, though.
I'm gonna get f*cking crunk.
- Do you wanna shot?
- Okay.
- Let's do another.
- If my Mom's doin' it,
- Yeah!
- I'm doin' it.
- Straight edge, except for drugs!
- You drank last time we played.
- I know, with my Mom, 'cause my Mom's-
- I had Tracker in a weird
way where I kind of like shift
and then all of a sudden
I'm riding on her back,
like a piggyback ride.
- She transforms into a full wolf
and begins to, like, sort
of just prance around.
- Whee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
- See Tracker, even in wolf
form, is kinda shaking her head.
- This is so fun, babe.
- You are a lightweight.
- You see she heads off.
- I need a hat.
- The Ball,
The Ball, let's do snuff
for the first time.
Right?
- What?
- Come on, let's do snuff.
Remember, my father offered you guys all-
- The Ball!
Do snuff!
- Come on, The Ball!
- Do snuff, The Ball!
- Do snuff with us, dude!
- I'm not gonna do drugs.
- The Ball, come on,
do snuff!
We're in Leviathan!
Like, for the rest of your life,
you wanna say that you were
in Leviathan and, like,
not doing snuff?
- Wait,
I just wanna say something quick.
For real, if you don't wanna
do drugs, you don't have to,
but lemme just say that, like, you know,
when I do snuff, it's like, oh, like,
it's not just like about partying.
It's like, you know,
your mind is like this
and then you, you know,
but then it's like this.
Do you get it?
All right,
now this is convincing.
- How about that?
- I'll do a little bit of snuff.
- Yes!
- What?
- The Ball is gonna do a
- little bit of snuff!
- That was convincing?
- You see— Don't
get The Ball on a drug that
will focus him more.
- You see that Gilear looks up and says,
"I think someone has
spiked my stew with drugs."
- Oh god.
- Oh?
- Your stew?
- Yes, there's something in it that-
- Wait-
- I think it's
just because it's the
first food you've eaten
that's not dairy based in about 30 years.
- No, it's burning my mouth.
Is that-
- Oh, it's spicy.
- What?
- Gilear, that's just spice.
- It's just hot?
- It's burning my mouth like drugs.
- I pat Gilear on the back
and cast Warding Bond.
- Gilear, I think the
little coal from the hookah
fell into your stew.
- I've terribly burned my mouth.
- There it is.
- All right, I'm going
to go to the bathroom
to run cold water.
Do they have plumbing here?
- I don't know.
I have not got-
- I very much doubt it.
You could go up to one of our suites.
We have luxury suites that do-
- We do have
the best money can buy.
- For the next hour,
Gilear's AC goes up by one
and any damage he takes, I take instead.
- He looks at you and says,
"I'm going to go try to find a bathroom."
And he walks around the corner.
Almost immediately you
begin to start taking his-
- What's happening?
- What are you doing?
- Gilear is living, all right?
I don't know what to tell you.
- And he's scrubbing-
- Did he fall in the bathroom
on his own sh*t?
- He's just scrubbing
his tongue too hard.
- You see that Gilear comes
back out with a black eye
and says,
"Someone in the bathroom
called me their hearty,
and I apologized to them and
they punched me in the face."
- Why don't you go
stay in the suite, Gilear?
- I think I should go to the suite.
- How much damage did I take?
- You took one point of damage.
- Okay.
One tenth of his hit points.
- Ah, the food here is completely inedible
and the people here are, honestly,
even without the violence, much too rowdy.
And you see that he walks away.
- Is there some kind of non-alcoholic grog
that I could drink?
- You see that one of the
servers of the Gold Gardens
comes over and presents to you
a beautiful, fizzing pomegranate juice-
- Hmm.
- In a little glass chalice.
- Ahoy!
- I also will get one of those-
- Cool.
- And I do my dragon spice.
- You do some dragon spice.
You guys are a bunch
of f*cked up children.
- I guess I'll do a little bit of it.
I'll save some for later.
- Is there anyone who works
here I could ask about-
Is there a bartender anywhere
nearby? I just wanna ask...
- Yeah, you can talk to a bartender.
- Hey, you guys got any kind
of cell towers around here?
Just sort of towers for-
- Sorry, what's that?
- So this is my crystal.
- Oh, we do!
We do have a cell tower.
- Really?
- Oh.
- Yes, we actually do.
- Wait, really?
- Yes, absolutely.
- Really?
- Yes, we have a cell tower.
- Where is it? What is it?
- It's in Aftward.
- Aftward?
- Near near Poop City.
- So it's near Poop City.
- Oh, so-
- It's a boat pun.
- No, I know.
- Poop City is perhaps the
nicest neighborhood in Leviathan.
- We're, like, here.
- It's up on Poop.
- It's like right there.
- Okay, so-
- Why do you find Poop City funny?
- I don't find it funny.
- That was Zac talking.
- You see he says, "Yes, absolutely.
Do you need access to it or-"
- I was just like trying to make a call
and we're so far out that it's like-
- Oh, you're trying to
make a call to somebody?
- Yeah.
- Who are you trying to make a call to?
- Someone-
- His girlfriend.
- My girlfriend.
She's in Solace, so-
- Where?
- She's on the mainland.
- Oh, well, then I don't
think that a cell tower
would be much help to you
if she's all the way on the mainland.
- What?
Really?
What is a cell tower to you?
- The brig.
- Oh!
- It's a giant tower of cells.
Prison cells.
- You've got got.
That's getting got.
- Woo!
- You have been owned, my friend.
- Listen, you keep your
tongue in your mouth.
I haven't owned anybody here.
Are you saying I'm
trying to start a fight?
- Oh, no.
- No.
- We are using colloquial
Solesian teen slang.
- You razzed him.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- You razzed him.
- Who'd I razz, and how?
- You razzed me and-
- It was a good razz.
We liked it.
- He set you up for the razz,
and you took it.
- Cell tower has
a different meaning to me.
- You dunked on him.
- And also Poop City's funny.
I didn't mean to say
Poop City's not funny.
- He doesn't want Poop City to be funny.
- Oh, okay.
Poop City's nice?
- Everyone, on the count of three,
tell me whether Poop
City's funny to you or not.
One, two, three.
- Not funny!
- Yes!
- I like it.
- It's a very good boat pun.
- It's not funny.
- I'm dying laughing,
riding on a wolf around the bar.
Poop City!
You see that the bartender- so yeah,
the cell tower he's
referring to is the brig.
You look over.
You guys all have a table to yourself.
The only people that are not
here right now are Gilear.
The Hangman and the van boat
are both in the stables,
along with Baxter-
- Mm-hmm.
- Being cleaned and groomed
and everything like that.
So it's just you guys,
Sandra Lynn, Tracker, Ragh.
Cathilda has also adjourned to her room.
She's not down in the main hall.
So you guys have a table to yourself.
You see that Ragh says,
"So what's the play from here?
What's the next move?
Are we on to Fallinel?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I think we relay what we heard
to the people who were in the
van so that they all know.
- Yeah.
- Can I, just to make sure,
cast Locate Creature on my mother?
See if she's a thousand feet?
- Cool.
You cast Locate Creature on your mother.
You do not come back with info on her.
- All right.
- Do you wanna try...
I think the next move is
probably to go to Fallinel,
but also I think old Captain
James might try to stop us.
Do you want see if he's
skulking around somewhere?
- Well, I-
- Yeah.
- Used both my fourth-level spells,
so I can't do Locate Creature.
- Oh yeah.
- Unfortunately.
But we could-
- I mean, I would be down to just
sneak around.
- Ask around.
We are wasted,
and by we, I mean everybody but me.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, so it sounds like
- I'm just having snuff,
- an even better of an idea.
- all right?
- Cool.
So you see, yeah, Ragh says,
"Honestly, let's have a night
where we party down, you know?
That's awesome.
Like, we deserve it.
We've been-"
- Yeah, let's tie one on and
then let's go to Fallinel
and let's get your hot sister out.
- Mm-hmm.
- Tracker, you think
she's hot, too, right?
Is that cool if I say that or
does that feel disrespectful?
- Tracker hasn't met my sister.
- I show Tracker a photo.
- Pretty hot, right?
We're, like, a thing.
- I mean, not my type
but, yeah, I can see it.
- Yeah, exactly.
- Yeah, I see it.
- It's like I can appreciate hotness,
but if I talk to her in real life.
- Okay, I'm
gonna go read my book.
- Can Gorgug have gotten a tattoo?
- Yes, absolutely.
- Can I get, like, a big
tin flower on my shoulder?
- You get a huge tin
flower on your shoulder.
- That's awesome.
- You get some cool Zajiri
orcish celestial ruins.
- Can I get Tracker on
my neck, like right here?
- Yeah.
You see that Tracker starts
crying as you get the tattoo.
She's holding your hand.
She gets a tattoo that
says, "Kristen" on her neck.
- Aw!
- We do kiss each other's
tattoos and it hurts.
- Classic, good choice
by a 17 year old.
- I do get pain and pleasure
in Zajiri.
- Cool.
Everyone here-
- I'll never get-
- Oh, pain and pleasure in Zajiri?
Cool.
Everyone here make a
Perception or an Insight.
- f*ck you!
- 16.
- 20, not Nat.
- 18 Insight.
- I rolled Nat one.
- 19.
- Nat one?
- You barf and sh*t yourself.
- Ah!
- That is really.
Oh, no!
- Who here got below a 10?
- I did.
- Cool.
I'm gonna need you guys to
make a Constitution save
with Disadvantage.
I need all of you guys to
make one, just regular.
- Okay.
- Great.
- Oh no.
Constitution's not my thing.
- Constitution's
not my thing either, really.
- Ugh, nine.
- I got an eight.
- I've got 20,
but a dirty 20.
- I got a six.
- I got eight.
- You guys are blasted.
Just blasted.
You've gotten tattoos.
You are lit to hell.
- I ain't drinking.
- You're not drinking,
so actually, you're okay.
What did you guys have for
your Constitution saves?
- I actually got a 20, a dirty 20.
- I got a nine.
- 15.
- Nine?
15?
Riz, the snuff powder.
Your body is so small,
you don't metabolize this.
You are coked outta your f*cking gourd.
You are solving so many
mysteries right now.
- Night Yorb.
- I feel like Riz goes and
gets memento tattoos of all-
He gets like a ton of tattoos
of all of the clues
that they've had so far.
- You just get Night
Yorb as a chest piece.
- I get a bunch of different, yeah,
like everything that is on my board,
I go up and, "I need to remember it all."
- Hell yes!
- What if someone
wipes my memory?
- Hell yes, The Ball!
- If somebody wipes my memory,
I wouldn't even know what I was doing!
- We are in the sh*t!
- But if I get it
permanently on my life-
- You will never forget!
- Then I will never forget.
- You'll never forget!
- Anytime I look in the mirror,
I'll have all the clues.
- on my back.
- Fantastic.
Okay, so you'll get tattoos.
- Yeah.
- And you'll get tattoos.
- And my body, too.
- Hell yes!
- Fabian, what was your Constitution?
- 15.
- 15, great.
You're totally solid.
You can hold your liquor.
You and Ragh, who's also
okay, are both like,
Ragh's like rubbing
Gorgug's back being like,
"You gotta drink water, bro.
You gotta drink water."
- I can't!
- I can't?
- I can't!
- Oh, it's okay.
Drink water!
- It's salt water.
We're in the ocean.
- No, man.
- I can't drink it.
- We got good water here.
- No, it's okay, it's good water.
- It's good water, it's good water.
- It's in a barrel.
It comes out of a barrel.
It's barrel water.
- Where'd the barrel come from?
- That part, I don't know.
- I'm gonna roll for Tracker.
Ooh, Tracker is starting to get
a little bit wasted as well.
As Tracker gets more wasted,
do you keep up or do you start to, like,
slow down?
- I mean,
I probably kind of reorient myself.
- Reorient?
- I start making some tea.
I'm like, "We'll take
two mint teas, actually."
- You see that Tracker is just
sort of leaning against you
and going like, "I like being furry.
I like being covered fur, but, you know,
I don't know if I could do
what Uncle Jawbone does.
I dunno. I dunno.
I don't know if I can always-
because people do treat you different.
They do treat you different."
- What do you mean?
Staying in your wolf form?
- Staying in wolf form.
- Totally.
- Do you think I'm hot?
- Both ways.
Both ways, really hot, yeah.
- I think you're hot both ways.
69.
- That's cute.
I don't have drunk sex, though, remember?
So- but it's hot.
Maybe tomorrow morning?
- I'm so tired.
- Yeah, me too.
Wait-
- You see-
- I try to keep her awake-
- Yeah.
- So maybe she can cast
the rune circle later.
You gotta stay awake, actually, babe.
Come on, baby.
- I'm good, I'm good.
What'd you roll for your Perception again?
- Oh, Perception a while ago?
- Yes, a while ago.
- It was like over 20.
- Over 20? Cool.
- It was 20 something.
- Fig, you're super drunk,
but you're talking with your-
Your mom is there.
- Well, technically I did dragon spice.
- Oh, dragon spice?
Cool, so you're rolling.
You're like, yeah-
- What was it, ketamine?
- Yeah.
- You're like barely moving.
- You're just standing
in the middle of the bar,
not doing anything.
- You see that Sandra
Lynn's there with you.
- That was so fast.
- Sandra Lynn's sort of smiling.
She's had a bunch of shots.
She looks over at you.
Your mom gets, like-
Your mom's an angry drunk.
She's looking around like she
wants to like start some sh*t.
But she looks and says,
"So, daughter of mine?"
- Hmm?
Mm-hmm?
- Looking around the bar, do
you have any little crushes?
Do you like any of the
people here in the bar?"
- Um, I don't know.
- You don't?
There's a lot.
Well, you know what we used to say,
and I'm not saying this is okay,
but me and my adventuring
party back in the day,
do you know what we would say?
"There's a lot of talent in this bar."
A lot of very talented people.
You see-
- Sure.
- I mean, yeah.
And then, but like, how do you,
if you don't have that talent yet,
because you've only been in
inappropriate relationships,
what is it like?
Like, is it obvious?
- She looks at you and says,
"Do you wanna learn how to not,
you know, without any illusion,
do you wanna learn how to flirt,
how to, like, make it work?"
- Oh, no.
- From you?
Yeah, yeah.
- She nods.
She looks.
She scans the bar with like a ranger.
She literally is like,
she takes a little bit of
like sawdust from the floor,
throws it up, smells it on the wind,
puts a hand to her ear
and zeroes in at the
bar on Garthy O'Brien.
You see she goes, "Watch this,"
and stands up,
walks over to the bar,
elbows in, orders something,
puts it in front of Garthy
and starts talking to them.
She talks to Garthy for a little while.
And you see that she at first
is like exchanging drinks.
You see she says something
that's, like, a little-
you can't quite make out what she's say-
but she says something that
is clearly very challenging,
'Cause a bunch of people
that work for Garthy-
- Mm-hmm.
- all kind of like react,
as though she said something
kind of scandalous.
Garthy smiles.
They turn around and start
trading barbs with Sandra Lynn.
You see Sandra Lynn, so fast,
you almost couldn't see it,
just in a way that's very interpersonal
and seems very low key,
touches Garthy's arm for a second.
Touches the arm again.
They talk a little bit more.
Garthy orders two drinks,
and while they're turned around,
Sandra Lynn looks winks over at you.
Garthy gets two drinks, says something,
and you see that Garthy and Sandra Lynn
both walk outta the bar.
- Wow.
- Whoa.
- Kristen, with that high Perception-
you're more sober than Fig right now.
You notice all this.
- Cool.
Um, hmm.
Your mom just left with Garthy.
- Yeah, she was kind of
giving me a lesson in flirting
without using any sort
of charms or disguises.
But then it- I don't know
if I'm supposed to follow,
if the lesson is continuing.
- Whoa.
- I have a feeling, no.
- Oh, okay.
- But what do we think
about Garthy?
Should we do something?
- I mean,
honestly, like right now,
I feel like a little, like, in
a weird way, kind of jealous.
Right, you know?
'Cause it's like... But, I mean...
- Yeah, I guess, yeah,
maybe like if I was, yeah.
- Oh, you mean, like, are they safe?
- Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
I think what I wanna do is go with Tracker
while we still have her set
up this freaking rune circle
and then maybe go with
Fig to follow her mom.
- Cool.
- I feel like as her daughter,
I really can't follow my
mom into this situation.
- We don't have to like stay and listen.
We just have to like
hear the very beginning
so we get the gist.
- Okay.
- 'Cause I don't think
there's gonna be-
- This is definitely
traumatizing, but I'll come.
- I'll come.
- Okay, you don't have to go.
- No, no, I'll go. I'm going.
- Maybe Adaine and I can go,
and you don't have to go
and hear your mom smooch that person.
- Yeah.
- Tracker goes, "Who'd
Sandra Lynn smooch?"
- I think Gertie.
What's that person's name?
- Garthy.
- Garthy!
- You see Ragh goes, "Shh, it's okay."
- I hold up my new forearm tattoo.
Garthy!
- Garthy!
- Wait, when did you get a tattoo
of Garthy's name?
- I have a million tattoos now.
And I have all of the-
- I'm gonna go work on the van.
- You have such
small amounts of skin.
- Yeah.
- Oh my gosh, you guys,
let's watch a movie in the room, right?
- We're doing a thing.
- Yeah, we are, but let's get everyone
to go watch a movie.
- Oh, yes,
let's go watch in the room.
- Instead of going
and working on the van at night-
- I gotta fix the van, though.
- I think that's a great idea.
- No, the van
- is so good.
- You'll figure out
how to get into that special
room or thing.
- If I had spells,
I could fix the van like that.
- You guys, let's watch
a spaghetti western.
- Fix it tomorrow.
- Okay.
- And I'll make a bunch of popcorn.
- I love spaghetti westerns.
- And you guys can eat
chocolate,
chocolate popcorn in a big bed.
- Popcorn?
- Tracker, how you feeling?
Where are you at?
- Lemme just,
uh, I'm feeling okay.
Do you need me?
She's going, okay, do you
need me to go cast a spell?
- Yeah.
- I can do it.
- Who's going with Tracker
up to cast the spell?
- I think-
- Well, if we're going to...
- Do you need me to watch?
- Follow Sandra Lynn?
- We can all go back.
- I think now- if Sandra
Lynn's maybe in trouble,
I kind of have to go and
make sure she's okay.
- Okay.
- All right, then I'll go
with Fig and then you go
with Tracker.
- I cast Bless
on you two and Tracker.
- Okay, great.
- Cool.
- Can I slip away from the group?
- Good God.
- Yeah, make a Stealth check.
- Is it?
- Oh, wow, 22.
- 22.
That beats everyone's Passive Perception.
- Can we do-
Oh, Passive Perception?
- Right?
- I'm gonna say, in my paranoid state,
can I follow Fabian?
- Fabian has bypassed
your Passive Perception.
- Oh.
- But he's -
- Herding cats.
- on snuff.
- But I will say that if-
so, I think, yeah, Fabian's
tucked off on his own.
- Goddammit.
- All the adults are gone.
So who's going to the room with
Tracker to do these spells?
- Everyone.
- I'll go.
I'm trying to learn some magic,
so I'm gonna go.
- Cool.
- Let's do it, yeah.
- You go.
Tracker does the Moon Haven on the suite.
- Amazing.
- Immediately falls asleep.
- Oh, goodnight.
Okay.
- Immediately falls asleep.
- I put some water next to her.
- Cool.
Then-
- Gorgug's trying to cook in there.
- Gorgug's trying to cook.
What's Adaine doing?
Is anyone leaving?
- I think me and Fig
are going to make sure
that Sandra Lynn's okay.
- Yeah, I'm going with the two of them.
But-
- But that's still in the-
- I'm kind of following behind them.
I'm letting 'em take the lead.
- So you guys go to the room
first, and then Adaine, Fig?
- Oh, no, we shouldn't
go to the room first.
This is precious time.
- Yeah.
- I think I went to the room.
- Yeah.
Could you just...
- Okay.
- Cool.
- Yeah, so it's just me and you.
- Yeah. So then- yeah.
- So it's just Adaine and Fig?
- Mm-hmm.
- Cool.
We're gonna run these scenes this way.
So Gorgug, Riz, Ragh, Tracker,
Kristen go to the suite.
You can already hear Gilear
is asleep off somewhere.
Cathilda is asleep in a little corner.
Fabian,
where do you walk off to?
- I'd like to climb up to the Crow's Keep.
- You head way off into the city.
Go ahead...
Yeah, go ahead and give me a
Wisdom check with Advantage.
- Okay.
All right.
- With Advantage?
- Yeah, 14,
and 14.
- You find your way through the city.
You walk along,
you are not troubled on your journey.
And you begin to climb up the vast masts
of Riggaba, all the way
up to the Crow's Keep.
Upon arriving- you're
there for a long time.
What do you do when you arrive there?
- I just look out on all
of Leviathan. I don't know,
I guess I speak to the wind
with hopes of it carrying
my words to my father.
- You speak, looking out
over the vast pirate city.
As you do so,
go ahead, now, and give me
just a Perception check.
- That's a six.
- The wind blows over Leviathan.
You look out.
The wind carries your words away
on a voyage that you
cannot see the end of.
For Fig and Adaine that go to observe...
Cool. So first of all, give
me an Investigation check.
- Okay.
I'm just gonna, in general,
give you some Bardic Inspiration.
- Okay, great, and can I-
- Just thanks for-
- Boggy to...?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- 12.
- Did you use Bless?
- No.
- Perception?
- 14.
- 14.
- 23.
- So, Investigation.
- Oh, it's Perception?
- Oh, Investigation?
Oh, 25.
- Cool.
You use Boggy, move around.
As you do, you arrive
at a huge pair of golden doors.
As you arrive here, you hear
humming music in the back.
This is clearly an off-limits area.
You see that there are two guards here
that are these tall, half-orc pirates.
You hear low music
coming from back behind the doors.
As you guys approach-
this is outside of the building
that the bar you were at is in-
you see they look at you and say,
"Good evening, young madams.
Can we help you?"
- You're the charismatic one.
- Yes.
Yes, you can help us.
I forgot my watch in there.
- You forgot your watch in here?
Oh, well, all right.
We'll be sure to give it to you.
What's your-
- Okay, actually, you know what?
I'll just tell you the truth.
My mom is in there.
I feel a little homesick.
I am a child.
- We're both children.
- Give me a Persuasion check.
- A pity check?
- It's gonna be a seven.
- Uh, Bless.
- Oh, right.
18.
- They look at each other and they say,
"Well, damn, all right."
And you see one of them
dips into the door.
You see, about a minute or two later,
Sandra Lynn comes out to the door.
You see that she is...
How do I put this?
You know when someone has
put their clothes back on very quickly?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can I just do, real quick, "Hey, Mom?"
Just real quick,
I wanna do like a check
to make sure she's okay.
- Sure, give me an
Insight or a Perception.
- Okay.
It's gonna be five plus-
- Bless?
- Oh!
- Can I do, also, an Insight
- Eight!
into if she's okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- 18.
- She's not been magically swip-swapped.
She's not under a Dominate Person effect.
- Okay, okay.
- I'm so sorry, Mom.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't mean to get in the way.
People put ideas in my head
that you could be in danger.
This is just a really powerful person
that we don't know much about.
I'm really sorry.
I don't mean to interrupt.
I don't even know what-
- Sweetie, it's okay.
- Okay.
- It's okay.
You're okay.
It's all okay, all right?
- Okay.
- Are you good?
- I'm good. Are you good?
Do you need me to save you?
Just kidding. I run away.
- I guess I'm also leaving.
Goodnight!
Have a nice night.
- I'll see you in the morning.
- Ahoy!
That means goodbye here, as well as hello.
- Yeah, ahoy.
- She walks away.
You guys get back as things
have kind of quieted down.
- I'm mortified.
- You walk back.
You get back and you see,
in the little suite,
a lot of people have fallen
asleep or drunk or whatever.
Gilear is up making
some dinner for himself,
'cause he didn't really
get to eat anything.
You see he looks over,
he's got a bandage around
the end of his tongue.
- Daughter.
- Hi, Gilear.
- A bandage?
- How did you get a Band-Aid
to adhere to your tongue?
- It doesn't, really.
- Oh.
- You look like you've just seen a ghost.
- Nah.
No, I'm fine, I'm good.
It's just the drugs.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
It's just the drugs, right, Adaine?
Just the drugs.
- Yes.
I have also taken drugs.
- Each of you, gimme a Deception roll.
- I got a seven.
- Okay.
- I got a 25.
- So you-
- Okay, I've not taken any drugs.
- This is so true to life.
- I don't know why I was lying.
- You see he looks at you and says-
- Oh, actually I didn't
add the Bless. I got a 29.
- Gilear looks at you and says,
"Where have you just come from?"
- Downstairs.
- True.
That's true.
- Adaine, know this.
My keen eyes may be constant-
- I cast Friends on Gilear.
- Okay.
You cast Friends.
Go ahead.
He fails his save.
Go ahead and make
whatever truth-based roll
you're gonna make.
- Okay, great.
- Remember you have Bardic
Inspiration if you need it.
- I'm fricked.
I'm going to, I guess,
try and make a Persuasion check on him-
- Sure.
- to be, like-
that he doesn't have to
worry about anything.
- Sure.
- Okay,
18.
- Cool.
You see he says, "Oh, very good.
I shall continue to heat up this yogurt."
- No, Gilear, come on.
- Heating?
- Gilear it's-
- Where did you get that from?
They don't sell that here.
- It doesn't become
- Did you bring that with us?
Soup if it's hot.
- I stashed some in the van.
- Ugh.
- So it's just been in
the heat for three days?
- Am I still awake?
- You are still awake, yeah.
- All right, cool.
- Can I message Kristen,
just in my mind, and say,
"She was fine.
I'm absolutely humiliated.
I just knocked on a door
and she came out with sex on her face."
Just-
- I decide what I think that means.
- Kristen, gimme an Insight check.
- Okay.
- 16.
- You see Tracker stirs
in her sleep a little bit,
and she looks up at you.
She's totally out of it, but she goes,
"This is Sandra Lynn?"
- What?
- Sandra Lynn's kissing someone.
- I think so, yeah.
- Jawbone?
- No.
- Isn't Jawbone poly?
- Yeah, I think they're fine.
- Yeah, she is with-
- What you guys heard from the
last time that Jawbone spoke
was that Jawbone is poly,
and that Sandra Lynn had
asked him to be monogamous.
- Ew.
- Oh!
I thought this was all allowed.
- Uh. Well, sh-
Yeah, she's kissing someone.
- Okay.
- Oh.
- Yuck.
- Maybe Tracker
won't remember in the morning.
- You adults are more
complicated than, you know,
than we think that they are.
- Gilear looks over at you-
- Sandra Lynn is both more and less cool
than I thought that she was.
- Oh, Mom!
- You look at Gilear and says,
"When you all stand in
the middle of the room
pointing at each other,
I know you're doing the message cantrip."
- Can I go back out to the
door that they were just at?
- Sure.
- And is there a way for me to hide
so that the guards don't see me?
'Cause I want to cast
something at the door.
- Gimme a Stealth check.
- Okay.
- I guess, can I come?
I'll go with.
- Okay, thank God, 'cause my
Stealth is negative three.
- Negative three?
- Incredible.
I'm gonna say you go to the door.
I'm gonna need Perception
checks from both of you.
- Interesting.
- Perception, I only got a 14.
- Cool.
- Could I do Insight or Investigate?
- Yeah, you can do Investigate.
- Ooh.
- Gimme Investigation.
- Investigate would gimme a 21.
- 21? Cool.
You look up in the corner, Riz,
and you see a flicker of light
up at a corner of the
building, just for a moment.
Almost like a piece of glass adjusting,
like an iris refocusing.
- What?
- Do you think we're being watched?
- And a moment later, it's gone.
- Was that Clairvoyance?
- Yes.
- You know a moment later,
it was Clairvoyance.
Someone was looking at you.
- Can I cast Detect Good
and Evil from the door
to see what's going on in there?
- You cast Detect Good and Evil.
We're gonna cut from you
guys back to Crow's Keep.
As we cut back to Crow's Keep...
Fabian, looking out over
the city of Leviathan.
- Oh sh**t.
- You hear footsteps behind you,
and you see, emerging in the darkness,
figures, hooded and cloaked-
- Oh.
- as they move through
the mist towards you.
- All right.
I draw the Sword of the Seacaster.
Gentlemen, you best be on your way,
lest we have a problem.
Great. I drive-
Let's do it.
- Oh my God.
- You hear a voice
from within one of the cowls,
a face you cannot see, say,
"Ooh, indeed, do we have business.
You,
son of the Seacaster,
for, indeed, we have
sought you and found you.
We're all huge fans!
And you see that Alistair
takes his cowl off.
I brought 'em all here.
We had to come and say hello!
- Oh, one, you can't do that.
But two-
- A bunch of weird warlocks
take their cowls off,
lift you up in the middle
of the night and go,
"For he's a jolly good fellow!"
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- For he's a
jolly good fellow.
- Put me down!
- For he's a jolly good fellow-
- Oh!
- That's all for this week.
- No!
- Oh my God!
- On Fantasy High.
Tune in next week.
Bye-bye.
