[SPEAKER_04]: Hello and welcome back to another episode of Mage Hand High Five.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm your dungeon master, Casey Pappas, and with me, ranked least to most likely to get stuff into a bag of holding.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: There, four kids.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is, this is vibes, this is just vibes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: First, Max Weinberg.

[SPEAKER_05]: Wow, you think this little of me?

[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_05]: I am a slippery medium sized guy.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think I would not get an ep egg.

[SPEAKER_04]: But you are least unlikely, so that works out.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh fuck, come on out.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, good sir.

[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you, good sir.

[SPEAKER_06]: So that can be used by that response.

[SPEAKER_06]: How dare you?

[SPEAKER_05]: What are you kidding us?

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to get that bag, whether you like it or not.

[SPEAKER_04]: I am following them to a secondary location.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's hard for me to put in myself in the bag, as opposed to getting put in the bag.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's fair, that's fair.

[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, next, Rowan McStay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Howdy, I'm Rowan McStay, playin' solidly, Rire.

[SPEAKER_01]: It is good to be back and, um, I'm not going to a second location with Titus Jamison.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, why not?

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, thank you, I heard her.

[SPEAKER_01]: I heard her.

[SPEAKER_01]: Weird.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is it just a bag of holding generalers at this bag of holding?

[SPEAKER_04]: Um, uh, the bag of holding is actually being held by Titus Jamison.

[SPEAKER_04]: So.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hard out.

[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely not.

[SPEAKER_04]: You can get in the bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no [SPEAKER_04]: been interlober.

[SPEAKER_06]: As a young-in, I was the kind of person who would take pride in my ability to fit into lockers and therefore would put myself into lockers and then close the door.

[SPEAKER_06]: And then of course, if somebody tried to actually close the locker on me, I would just slam the door back in their face.

[SPEAKER_06]: So really jokes on them as well as me, but hi, I'm happy to be back.

[SPEAKER_06]: Hello.

[SPEAKER_06]: What?

[SPEAKER_06]: Hey.

[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome back.

[SPEAKER_04]: We're rusty and with that.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's dive right in.

[SPEAKER_04]: Last time, on Mage Hand High Five, you found yourself face to face with Larissa Mavelle, the head of Hazard.

[SPEAKER_04]: She revealed her plan to take over selling out Sacco to three, a deal set to take place that very morning.

[SPEAKER_04]: The three of you escaped, only to find that Thread was already in Echo, a Zeppelin owned by Wyatt's father had arrived, carrying the four-site man-servant Clive, Titus Jamison, and Lucinda Cortois.

[SPEAKER_04]: Solomon attempted to stop Morabas's handover of Lysander and drew the fire of two bastion guards.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hayden disguised themselves to try and fool Quartois, but only succeeded in opening combat.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wyatt, running from the threat of an imminent return to Thread, came upon two church assassins abducting Davy and began to intervene.

[SPEAKER_04]: Where you are now?

[SPEAKER_04]: You are all entering combat simultaneously.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna have you all roll initiative.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's go.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great, Wyatt, 14, Hayden, 16.

[SPEAKER_04]: 14.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yours is also 14, first and the order is Titus.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my God.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my God.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: What Titus is a Titus?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that makes sense.

[SPEAKER_04]: He just does a agility trading all day, it is to hell.

[SPEAKER_04]: His con, not very good.

[SPEAKER_04]: His strength, not very good.

[SPEAKER_04]: Don't tell us this, don't tell us this, don't tell us this.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, you listen, you can tell.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you can tell.

[SPEAKER_04]: He's just, he's a wiring little guy on his turn.

[SPEAKER_04]: He sees the backdrop.

[SPEAKER_04]: you are just knocked straight down.

[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: So the bag is right there.

[SPEAKER_04]: On his turn, he grabs it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Turns to the bastions, says, kill whoever that is.

[SPEAKER_04]: Then turns, uses his movement to get back onto the gondola.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you see it shake, as if it is getting ready to rise.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order, is Courtois.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Hayden, you are face-to-face with Cortois, but when you look up, you find that her face is no longer there.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you are in a dark cube.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Cortois, voice echoes all around you as she says, So be it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, and you need to make a duck saving throw.

[SPEAKER_06]: 13.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, not probably not good enough.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, how many D6s are you rolling Casey?

[SPEAKER_05]: Why is that important?

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just curious what little fireball you just cast on.

[SPEAKER_06]: They're so many people around me.

[SPEAKER_04]: How do she cares?

[SPEAKER_04]: That will be so foolish.

[SPEAKER_04]: The people around you.

[SPEAKER_04]: at this moment.

[SPEAKER_06]: Basically, everybody, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: The other has that guard.

[SPEAKER_04]: Titus has just climbed into the gondola.

[SPEAKER_04]: Clive in the two bastions.

[SPEAKER_04]: Titus needs to make a deck saving throw.

[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone needs to make a deck saving throw.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, fireballs huge.

[SPEAKER_04]: Do I?

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, fireballs huge.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you need to make a deck saving throw.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, shit.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this is the point where I let you know [SPEAKER_01]: That's only a ten.

[SPEAKER_04]: That is not safe.

[SPEAKER_04]: Titus saves wildly.

[SPEAKER_04]: One bastion saves one fails, Clive saves.

[SPEAKER_04]: Of course he does.

[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.

[SPEAKER_04]: And the four-cythman fail.

[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone who failed takes 36 fire damage.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh.

[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone who passes takes half.

[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, with a 28-con saves, I'll be still invisible.

[SPEAKER_04]: What the fuck does it take?

[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of damage!

[SPEAKER_05]: God, they also only last a minute, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: No, an hour.

[SPEAKER_04]: An hour?

[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_04]: Dude, come on.

[SPEAKER_06]: My...

...face spirit explodes and the darkness dissipates.

[SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[SPEAKER_06]: So there's an explosion of fire, and as the fire fills the street, the darkness dissipates, and I see Kortwa in the like smoke and flame.

[SPEAKER_05]: That sounds like a hell, honestly.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hashtag an AOE fireball into the middle of your own guys is crazy.

[SPEAKER_04]: You hear Titus scream from inside the gondola.

[SPEAKER_04]: What the fuck?

[SPEAKER_04]: The Force-Ithmen do not look very good.

[SPEAKER_04]: Clive looks beautiful.

[SPEAKER_01]: Has always, I love him.

[SPEAKER_04]: Cortois stands in the Gondola.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hayden.

[SPEAKER_06]: Cortois...

Permissy stepped into the Gondola?

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, no, she's...

She actually used her blessing of the Raven Queen.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yes, of course.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's more fun when Twilight did it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: Love you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Love you, Shadow.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hi.

[SPEAKER_04]: Two questions.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: How big is the gondola, and who all is in it currently?

[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, big enough to fit all these folks.

[SPEAKER_04]: And at the moment, Titus and Quartwal.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order is Clive.

[SPEAKER_06]: Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: Is assessing the situation?

[SPEAKER_04]: He rushes forward and attacks you Hayden.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, hello, Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: As he rushes forward, his hand reaches behind his back and you see a quarter staff up here.

[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: He twirls it above his head and fully, bah, it's going to try and hit you on the side.

[SPEAKER_04]: That is a 22 and a 19.

[SPEAKER_04]: Those were both hit.

[SPEAKER_04]: That is 14 on the first hit and eight on the second hit.

[SPEAKER_04]: Groovy, I am bloody.

[SPEAKER_04]: What boy?

[SPEAKER_04]: The four sides boy.

[SPEAKER_06]: I have no rotten idea.

[SPEAKER_06]: Look, I don't know who you are, and I have no business with you.

[SPEAKER_06]: If you want to go search for the kid, go do it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, it is your turn.

[SPEAKER_06]: In the meantime, I got some business to take care of over here.

[SPEAKER_06]: Cortois is on the gondola with Titus Jameson.

[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_06]: Lucine Cortois.

[SPEAKER_06]: You.

[SPEAKER_06]: claim yourself to be a good religious person, ordered the murder of children.

[SPEAKER_06]: On behalf of those children, I will send you where you belong.

[SPEAKER_06]: And Hayden raises up a hand to the clear, open sky, the sun not yet risen.

[SPEAKER_06]: and calls the light of the moon down upon the gondola, and casts moon beam at a fourth level.

[SPEAKER_06]: Both, Titus, and Cortois, assuming they are right next to each other, need to make a con safe.

[SPEAKER_06]: You do not turn the laws of nature against me.

[SPEAKER_06]: Nature has no laws.

[SPEAKER_04]: She burns a counter spell.

[SPEAKER_04]: on an 18 save damn you raise your hand and as she does as you do she does as well and she says the difference between you and I is that I know that I am not good it is not my place [SPEAKER_04]: Hayden, is there anything else you do on your turn?

[SPEAKER_06]: How far away is the Gondola?

[SPEAKER_04]: Not very far, you're right outside it.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm gonna run and hop into the Gondola then.

[SPEAKER_04]: You run and hop in.

[SPEAKER_06]: I will summon the spirit of Daisy the Dio Dilo.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_06]: I get 11-10 HP.

[SPEAKER_06]: And advantage on strength checks and saves.

[SPEAKER_06]: Nice.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm, great, anything else?

[SPEAKER_04]: No, that's all I can do.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: What is your passive perception?

[SPEAKER_04]: 15.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order are four sites men.

[SPEAKER_04]: They aren't quite sure what to do.

[SPEAKER_04]: And Clive turns to them and says, search the city.

[SPEAKER_04]: Look for the boy.

[SPEAKER_04]: And they turn hesitantly and filed on the street.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order is the bastion, but it is one of the bastions.

[SPEAKER_04]: The first one is going to attack you Solome.

[SPEAKER_04]: He's going to have disadvantage.

[SPEAKER_04]: However, he attacks twice.

[SPEAKER_05]: If you're prone though, it's with advantage.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, they would be flat.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's a 14 and an 18 to hit.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the 18 hits.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I'm trying to think if I want to cast you a lot of invisibility, I don't think I do.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's not good when the DM makes those sounds, you take 14 points of bludgeoning damage as this one raises a shotgun and bam, like hits you with the butt of it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that sucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: I do still pass the concept to stay invisible.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great, it is your turn.

[SPEAKER_01]: Beautiful.

[SPEAKER_01]: I look at Barabas.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I get up.

[SPEAKER_01]: I look at Barabas.

[SPEAKER_01]: What condition is he in?

[SPEAKER_04]: He appears completely frozen.

[SPEAKER_01]: OK, is it an action to pull the stake out of his chest?

[SPEAKER_04]: It is.

[SPEAKER_01]: How far away am I from the Gondola?

[SPEAKER_04]: 20 feet.

[SPEAKER_04]: Barabas is next to you, and I will say it's easy to tell, the sun is rising, in two turns, the sun will touch Barabas.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: My plan was to get to the gauntal of this round, however, Hayden is there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_01]: I trust Hayden to try to get less enter if they can, and I will try to go next round.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think I don't want this to happen to Bravis.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I get up and I use my action to pull the stake out of Bravis's chest.

[SPEAKER_04]: You fall to your knees next to Bravis, grab the stake with both hands, and pull it from his chest.

[SPEAKER_04]: The moment it exits his flesh, he...

Oh, hey, darling, you're okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: This sounds about to come up.

[SPEAKER_01]: They have last-and-er.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying to fight, but don't stay out longer than y'all, okay?

[SPEAKER_04]: He looks sees the sun rising and says, damn it.

[SPEAKER_01]: We'll figure this out.

[SPEAKER_01]: Get inside if you need to.

[SPEAKER_01]: When this is over, meet us at last-and-er, and we'll known us.

[SPEAKER_04]: He snarles and trains, you see him.

[SPEAKER_04]: dissipate into messed.

[SPEAKER_01]: And God, I have what now just 15 feet of movement and a bonus action.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, bonus action hex blades curse, which is not a spell on Titus.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I use my [SPEAKER_04]: uh...

you make it to the you make it to the ramp of the gondola you do not make it inside great because you are fifteen feet away why it these assassins bear down on you it is your turn oh okay uh...

how far away from here they i will say fifteen feet [SPEAKER_05]: As these assassins come running towards Wyatt, he knows he has to fight two people at once, so he has to start thinking a little bit wider than single targets, so he's going to cast Spirit Guardians at a fourth level, and because they're close enough, they'll have to make wisdom saving throws.

[SPEAKER_05]: What's the DC to be?

[SPEAKER_05]: 17.

[SPEAKER_04]: That is a 17 in the 19.

[SPEAKER_05]: Damn, well, they're still taking half.

[SPEAKER_05]: 13 halved so it is six to six.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_05]: A radiant damage.

[SPEAKER_05]: Cool.

[SPEAKER_05]: You get them both.

[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_05]: Actually, this is crunchy.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to walk back a little bit to get some space.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to go about 15 feet back because their speed is halved inside my spirit guardians.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's my turn.

[SPEAKER_05]: Cool.

[SPEAKER_04]: Davy run.

[SPEAKER_04]: A Davy standing there.

[SPEAKER_04]: And he says, are you gonna be okay?

[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be fine, just get somewhere safe.

[SPEAKER_04]: He turns and runs back into his house.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's not what I meant.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great, next in the order are the assassins.

[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to do something a little foolish because they don't know that it's foolish.

[SPEAKER_04]: And each of them is going to cast scorching ray.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so two out of six, him.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, you, you are going to take 16 points of fire damage, but it's going to be eight because I am resistant to fire damage now.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, baby.

[SPEAKER_05]: It does that kind of like animating where the flames like go around.

[SPEAKER_05]: Why it is if they're like not as effective as they would be as he kind of like channels the fire and to whatever he's going to do back to them next turn.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hmm, but I do have to make two concentration checks on spirit guardians.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, go ahead.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, it drops.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: The spirit guardians draw.

[SPEAKER_04]: Damn.

[SPEAKER_04]: They run the 30 feet and make it to you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order is the other bastion.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've left the area.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm invisible.

[SPEAKER_01]: You don't know where the fuck I am.

[SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[SPEAKER_04]: And there is just nothing you can do about that.

[SPEAKER_01]: do a perception check as an action.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I might be somewhere else by the next time.

[SPEAKER_04]: He looks he rolled a 15 to try and find you.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what that's rolling again.

[SPEAKER_04]: Is that your spellcasting modifier?

[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say that it would be stealth and you can choose whether or not to give me advantage on the stealth check because I am invisible.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay, go for it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't roll well, so he knows where I am right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's a 10.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Cool.

[SPEAKER_04]: He is going to point that out to the other bastion.

[SPEAKER_04]: And says there, where, what, where, right, type of the order.

[SPEAKER_04]: The Gondola rises 30 feet in the air.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hit.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hail.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right, fun.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Titus, Courtois, and Hayden are in it.

[SPEAKER_04]: At the top of the order, Titus looks at Courtois and says, what are you waiting for?

[SPEAKER_04]: Do it.

[SPEAKER_04]: And then he turns and pulls a gun and is going to fire at you Hayden.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: And it's not going to hit.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great.

[SPEAKER_04]: And then it is Courtois turn.

[SPEAKER_04]: Courtois looks at Titus and then looks at you Hayden.

[SPEAKER_04]: She stretches out her arms [SPEAKER_04]: Look around you, Aden, you look, and the bottom of the gondola has been etched with a magic circle.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is a teleportation circle.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, shit.

[SPEAKER_04]: And Cortois smiles and says, [SPEAKER_04]: continue this fight alone or flee like a coward.

[SPEAKER_06]: What a lovely offer.

[SPEAKER_04]: And she is going to hold her action to let you decide.

[SPEAKER_04]: The next turn in the order is Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: Clive sees the gondola [SPEAKER_04]: and he honestly, coolie, looks away.

[SPEAKER_04]: As if accepting that his ride is leaving, without him, he turns and runs down the street.

[SPEAKER_04]: I bet it looks so cool when he runs.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's pretty red.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's got like, coat tails.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just like straight arm, just it's like a machine.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's like the, what's it, the delinent terminator two?

[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hayden.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: You stand on a teleportation circle with court law and Titus Jamison.

[SPEAKER_04]: The choice has been offered to you, continue the fight, and the teleportation circle will activate, or run.

[SPEAKER_06]: There's what I want to do, and what I should do, and that's where I am right now.

[SPEAKER_06]: Aha!

[SPEAKER_06]: Is the bag available for me to grab?

[SPEAKER_04]: you can make, you can run to him and make a strength check that will be your action.

[SPEAKER_04]: Running deeper into the gondola will activate the teleportation circle.

[SPEAKER_04]: This whole time's tightest is screaming, do it!

[SPEAKER_04]: Do it!

[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, at court-wad, not at court-wad, not at you.

[SPEAKER_06]: Why are you giving me this opportunity?

[SPEAKER_06]: Why not just take me with you and kill me when you get there?

[SPEAKER_04]: She smiles and says, [SPEAKER_04]: because I know that it will eat you alive to watch this opportunity slip through your fingers.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I will need you to make an action.

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how the teleportation spell works.

[SPEAKER_06]: I need to just go, all right, fine, I missed this step down.

[SPEAKER_06]: and immediately just start firing every bullet I have out of the lucky shot.

[SPEAKER_06]: Knowing that by the time they reach the Gondola, the two of them will be gone already.

[SPEAKER_04]: The Gondola continues to ascend.

[SPEAKER_04]: Do you have anything else you do?

[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that was my bonus action, and I'm spending my action to fire pointless bullets into the air.

[SPEAKER_06]: Go ahead and roll.

[SPEAKER_06]: Alright.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to use my ability.

[SPEAKER_06]: to subtract five from my attack rolled potentially add 10 to my damage.

[SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe you should shoot her in a long time.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Bit of it.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm using plus three in the lucky shot.

[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm only taking a minus two.

[SPEAKER_01]: Minus two.

[SPEAKER_01]: Not bad.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_06]: 26 to hit on the first shot.

[SPEAKER_03]: Ha ha ha.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: I am going to Mark Lucin, Cortual, as my favorite foe.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm going to be doing an extra D4 of psychic damage as well.

[SPEAKER_06]: Making this 28 plus 2D4 plus 7.

[SPEAKER_06]: Plus 10.

[SPEAKER_06]: Ooh, okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Do it up.

[SPEAKER_06]: 30 damage on my first strike, and I will fire again.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, 30 damage, holy shit.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: That also hits World Amage.

[SPEAKER_06]: Another 36 damage.

[SPEAKER_06]: Awesome.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_06]: I was one away from maximum damage.

[SPEAKER_04]: Holy cow.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Fire two shots of the lucky shot.

[SPEAKER_04]: You see Cortois standing at the edge of the gondola looking down at you, and bam, bam.

[SPEAKER_04]: She falls back from the edge, screaming, and then you see light flare up from the gondola.

[SPEAKER_01]: As the light starts to go up with the teleportation, Solomon calls out hoping that Titus will [SPEAKER_01]: and says, Titus, how dare you call that man your brother?

[SPEAKER_01]: When all you have done is taken advantage of him, you sniveling, sick of fant, come back.

[SPEAKER_01]: I want you going home to three with your tail between your legs and see how your brother and your daddy thank you for it.

[SPEAKER_04]: The light flares up.

[SPEAKER_04]: You do not hear a response as the teleportation circle activates.

[SPEAKER_04]: and they are gone, roll, and intimidation check.

[SPEAKER_01]: 15.

[SPEAKER_04]: We'll handle that in a bit.

[SPEAKER_04]: After Hayden's turn, are the four-cythment they are still running down the street.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next is the bastion.

[SPEAKER_04]: The bastion was pointed out your location by the other bastion.

[SPEAKER_04]: He still has disadvantage on his attack, but he knows where you are.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-oh, was that tune at 20s?

[SPEAKER_01]: It was at least one, at 20.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is not that lucky.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was a Nat 20 and a Nat one.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and that one, Mrs.

Maybe.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: But that's his first attack.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[SPEAKER_04]: Ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: Do you get tune at 20s?

[SPEAKER_04]: That's a Nat 20 and a 17 on the day.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so that is a, that is a 24 to hit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, on 19 2021-22 for that day, I'm I can't even cash shield about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, that hits.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [SPEAKER_04]: He bludgens you again with the shotgun, and that is going to be 11 points of bludgeoning image.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm a still invisible, still holding onto this, speaks through a bloody mouth as the blood drips to the ground.

[SPEAKER_01]: It becomes visible outside of her range of invisibility, and she says, I want you to go and back to 3-dimpty hand to your snake bastard.

[SPEAKER_04]: The bastion looks at you and he says I am fully prepared to knock it back to three at all.

[SPEAKER_04]: Good.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I will make sure you don't go back either.

[SPEAKER_01]: I certainly fucking hope not.

[SPEAKER_04]: It is your turn.

[SPEAKER_01]: How's Hayden looking?

[SPEAKER_06]: 38 plus 11 temp.

[SPEAKER_06]: And you now have 11 temp for me.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh really?

[SPEAKER_01]: God bless.

[SPEAKER_01]: Cause I'm at 24 HP.

[SPEAKER_05]: Why it's at like 90s?

[SPEAKER_06]: Why it's doing just fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, we get in the hell out of here.

[SPEAKER_06]: You gotta save the kid.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, alright.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I run.

[SPEAKER_04]: You don't take an attacker for opportunity, you just run.

[SPEAKER_04]: Damn it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I will use my bonus action to use my channel divinity to harness divine power.

[SPEAKER_01]: Also not a spell.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I am regaining an expended spell slot with it just so that I can have that back.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I just run, God, I don't even see why it, why it wouldn't be at the pickled liver.

[SPEAKER_01]: Can I roll like some kind of check to see if I could sus out whether he would go to the only options are Winona's or Dates?

[SPEAKER_04]: The thing is, those are down the street for me, each other.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_01]: I just run in that direction then.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're on the same street.

[SPEAKER_04]: If you go to one, you'll be close to the other.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, just sprinting that direction, man.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I can't even leave a bit invisible, this whole fight.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.

[SPEAKER_04]: Pist.

[SPEAKER_01]: Pist.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great.

[SPEAKER_04]: You run.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why it?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's you versus two assassins.

[SPEAKER_05]: Why it?

[SPEAKER_05]: taking that fire energy that was just blasted at him, kind of spins it around, and kind of like releases a like a Nova Blast from around to mess his radiance of dawn ability, which is a child's divinity, that they have to do a DC-17 consave.

[SPEAKER_04]: One say it's one fails.

[SPEAKER_05]: 23 radiant damage or 11 have.

[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, that one is bloodied.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then, why it's gonna cast Shield of Faith on himself.

[SPEAKER_05]: So once again, another just a shimmer of heat, like a mirage of the desert, a shimmer of heat just kind of comes over his whole body.

[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then he yells back to Davy.

[SPEAKER_05]: Davy, you got to get out of there.

[SPEAKER_05]: Get some place safe.

[SPEAKER_05]: They know you live there.

[SPEAKER_04]: Davy is inside the house.

[SPEAKER_04]: you're not sure if he hears you.

[SPEAKER_04]: You don't hear his response.

[SPEAKER_04]: As the assassins get ready to attack you, both assassins draw swords.

[SPEAKER_04]: And as they do, you hear movement.

[SPEAKER_04]: You look and coming up the [SPEAKER_04]: Look, all of them look exactly like you, each of them, with a quarter staff.

[SPEAKER_04]: And they say, leave that boy alone, and they will fall in with you, and now there are four riots.

[SPEAKER_04]: is this this is the fatesbun players this is the fatesbun players for sure okay that's awesome okay this is the fatesbun players and now in order to attack you they will roll a first check and then they will have to roll a second check to see if they hit you near image yeah [SPEAKER_01]: Casey, just so that you're aware, I'm gonna say that because they're seem like the most likely to fight.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna say that Cal, sorry, I'm gonna say that call and nay have that 16-10 HP.

[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds good.

[SPEAKER_04]: the assassins will attack.

[SPEAKER_04]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha [SPEAKER_05]: Do I just do understand?

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just looking at three me's.

[SPEAKER_04]: The assassins both look at you as you say that.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's new.

[SPEAKER_04]: Great.

[SPEAKER_04]: The other bastion is going to go.

[SPEAKER_04]: He looks sees the bastion and sees you Hayden.

[SPEAKER_04]: He raises his right arm and you see something that you didn't notice last time.

[SPEAKER_04]: Coming out of his right arm is a tube, it sneaks its way around to his back.

[SPEAKER_04]: He raises his right arm, a jet of flame erupts from the gauntlet on his right hand.

[SPEAKER_04]: You take 12 points of fire damage.

[SPEAKER_06]: I will cast absorb elements.

[SPEAKER_06]: Ooh!

[SPEAKER_06]: So I take 6 instead of 12, and you are on fire.

[SPEAKER_06]: And I am on fire.

[SPEAKER_04]: which means at the start of your turn you will take 1d6 fire damage unless you use your action to make a dexterity check to put it out okay he doesn't get closer to you because he doesn't need to you watch the gondola is continuing to ascend and you see the zeppelin beginning to move away from echo.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hayden, you are the only visible combatant against these bastions.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: However, as you are getting ready to take your turn, you see the bastion with the flamethrower looking at you and then, you see a throne object smash against his helm.

[SPEAKER_04]: You staggers back for a moment, and you hear a voice shout, fuck off, Jamison's!

[SPEAKER_04]: You look, the gathering crowd has begun to gather projectiles.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hell yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes!

[SPEAKER_04]: And the bastion takes a brick to the helm.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it does.

[SPEAKER_04]: These people look pissed.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: They are not going to be a match for these bastions.

[SPEAKER_04]: alone, like, like, by themselves, as a group, they might be enough to deter the bastions, but you know the bastions could hurt some people.

[SPEAKER_06]: What is your goal here today?

[SPEAKER_06]: And haven't you already achieved it?

[SPEAKER_06]: You can slaughter a mob of people and die in the process, or you can go.

[SPEAKER_04]: make a persuasion check.

[SPEAKER_04]: You don't need to do it with this advantage.

[SPEAKER_04]: Even though normally you would, because there is an angry mob that is giving you the help action on that.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: 33.

[SPEAKER_06]: Ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: OK.

[SPEAKER_04]: The bastion has his arm extended still.

[SPEAKER_04]: He scans the crowd.

[SPEAKER_04]: And then he looks at the other bastions [SPEAKER_04]: The other bastion nods.

[SPEAKER_04]: And with both of their eyes on you, they both begin to backpettle out of echo.

[SPEAKER_06]: Love the doom business with you.

[SPEAKER_06]: And I start running, still on fire.

[SPEAKER_04]: As you are exiting the combat, you turn your shoulder to see the Zeppelin beginning to hover out into the distance.

[SPEAKER_04]: Its gondola has stopped, is still swinging.

[SPEAKER_04]: and then begins to lower again, as it settles outside of the city.

[SPEAKER_04]: The bastions block out of Echo, which leaves Wyatt.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's me, Wyatt, it's you and the Fate spun players.

[SPEAKER_05]: So to blend in, even better, Wyatt's gonna grab his staff that he very rarely uses on his back and just smack the assassin.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's looking bloodied.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Nobody hurts my friends.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, 18, that hits, rolled image.

[SPEAKER_05]: This hasn't really come up before, I don't think, but my staff is the staff of Whithering, which we've reflavered to be like a flame staff.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so when I hit, they have to make a DC-15 constitution saving throw.

[SPEAKER_05]: I also deal two D10 extra fire damage from it.

[SPEAKER_05]: This one can be done three times each day.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a big deal.

[SPEAKER_05]: I guess if they fail, [SPEAKER_05]: They have disadvantage for an hour on any ability check or saving through that uses strength or con.

[SPEAKER_05]: They fail.

[SPEAKER_05]: Amazing.

[SPEAKER_05]: So because of blessed strikes or blessed strikes, I also deal at extra D8 on melee weapon attacks.

[SPEAKER_05]: They're on weapon attacks.

[SPEAKER_05]: So it's going to be 2D10 plus a D6 plus a D8 plus 3.

[SPEAKER_05]: OK.

Amazing.

[SPEAKER_05]: 26 as why it flames up the edge of the stack.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's maxed this guy at the face.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh.

[SPEAKER_05]: He drops.

[SPEAKER_01]: Why just soloing to assassins is crazy.

[SPEAKER_04]: This assassin drops like a pile of rocks, just both.

[SPEAKER_04]: And is going to start making death-saving throws.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't like the phrase that you tell an NPC to make death theory throws.

[SPEAKER_04]: I just guess I want you to think back to the last time we fought assassins.

[SPEAKER_04]: And what happens when they die?

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's fair.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh.

[SPEAKER_04]: So he's going to start making death saving throws.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you for the reminder that they blow up.

[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm going to do for Shitsi Gickles here?

[SPEAKER_05]: What are you going to do?

[SPEAKER_05]: Because I can.

[SPEAKER_05]: as a bonus action, second level spell.

[SPEAKER_05]: Other cast spiritual weapon, and some of the whip of Dytobotex, and whip this other guy.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it does it look like Clevver times whip now.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, it looks like Clevver times whip.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's cute.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Patty Clevver.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's a 27 to hit.

[SPEAKER_05]: The other assassin?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Holy cow.

[SPEAKER_04]: And that's eight four-stamage.

[SPEAKER_04]: That assassin is still up and moving.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next in the order are the fate spun players.

[SPEAKER_04]: All three of them are going to make a tax.

[SPEAKER_04]: Three crits, three crits.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, all three of them hit, though.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was a 1918 and a 17.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's crazy how in sync they are.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, that's, and this assassin is wavering on his feet.

[SPEAKER_04]: After a flurry of blows, is the other assassin's turn.

[SPEAKER_04]: Leave my friend alone.

[SPEAKER_04]: This assassin is gonna cast scorching ray and is gonna get three chances to hit you, Wyatt.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll use, um, warding flare to give the first one to save an inch.

[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wow!

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: That'll hit...

What is super bad?

[SPEAKER_01]: Why, it's all right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why, it's crazy right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: We've had a generally successful day outside of losing Lysander.

[SPEAKER_06]: Speak for yourself.

[SPEAKER_01]: That would...

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you got out of live after trying to win V1 Quartos, so...

[SPEAKER_06]: It's true.

[SPEAKER_04]: It don't hit it, you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey [SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna use my bonus action to attack with the whip.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's a 25.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead.

[SPEAKER_05]: Ruhide.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's full damage.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just 13 damage.

[SPEAKER_04]: He's dropped.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna be non-lethal damage.

[SPEAKER_05]: Now that I'm reminded of their internal explosion mechanism.

[SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_05]: And as my action, I will cast spare the dying on the other one.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, nice.

[SPEAKER_04]: They both.

[SPEAKER_04]: are stable at zero unconscious.

[SPEAKER_05]: Um, can you all watch these?

[SPEAKER_04]: Make sure they don't go anywhere.

[SPEAKER_04]: They say, uh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: And also, yeah, we can do that.

[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe don't look like me that's kind of weird, please.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they, they change back to their selves and go, uh, we thought of my help.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, it, it, it, it, it's helpful, but now that we're, hopefully, I can go help my friend.

[SPEAKER_05]: Bye.

[SPEAKER_05]: And why it runs out of house.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why it?

[SPEAKER_04]: You run into the house.

[SPEAKER_04]: Solomon Hayden, you are turning up the street and see the fate spent players standing over these unconscious bodies.

[SPEAKER_04]: Like standing guarding over the assassins essentially you see them like pulling them over onto the sidewalk.

[SPEAKER_06]: Why it?

[SPEAKER_06]: Where's why it?

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, first, nay runs to you and hugs you and says, You're okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was for way, but I'm standing.

[SPEAKER_04]: Also, Jesus, you're on fire.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: And they take an action to pat you down.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I kind of faced my own little personal book of man, and she got away.

[SPEAKER_06]: But that's that's fun of the day.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's is wide all right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Carl says, yeah, he's fine, he ran over there.

[SPEAKER_04]: Follow in this friend.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, it's all of me, it's all of me here.

[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, if everybody looks out of danger, Solomon stays invisible and just sits down on the ground.

[SPEAKER_01]: And is very much, I think, in her own space right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think she finds like a corner and sits in it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Invisible.

[SPEAKER_04]: They look around.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, we don't see her.

[SPEAKER_01]: I would say that like it's fair to say, I don't want you to feel like she's in danger.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like I think you would have heard her running with you and then just like in the law, she just is not here.

[SPEAKER_06]: I think I might just need to, I need to sit down for a minute.

[SPEAKER_04]: Own cradles here, a little bit.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think Hayden just kind of starts to collapse into them.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if I get out of it, I'll end good time.

[SPEAKER_04]: You're still here.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's the most important thing.

[SPEAKER_06]: You're still here.

[SPEAKER_06]: You didn't leave.

[SPEAKER_04]: And Owen says, we won't leave.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you sit together.

[SPEAKER_04]: Winona shows up a little later, sitting next to you, and she says they told me to stay inside.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I saw they were church assassins, I thought they were, yeah, it's all right.

[SPEAKER_06]: You did the small thing, I did the series of dumb things, but I'm still here.

[SPEAKER_04]: She says we're still here.

[SPEAKER_04]: And next time, if there's running to be done, we'll do it together.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's a nice thought.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's not heavy running for a second, but that's a nice thought.

[SPEAKER_04]: She grabs your hand.

[SPEAKER_06]: That squeeze it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Solome.

[SPEAKER_04]: You're alone.

[SPEAKER_04]: You're invisible.

[SPEAKER_04]: What's going on?

[SPEAKER_01]: In the moments where Barabas was handing off Lysander, I think Solome found herself within feet.

[SPEAKER_01]: possibly inches of Titus, and I think that it's scared the fuck out of her.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think that she put on as much bravado as she needed to get through that fight, but I think that seeing Titus, and even though he looks different, [SPEAKER_01]: facially that it, it, it stuck with her.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that Solomon is just really, really, really shaken by seeing Titus and just wants to disappear.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think as long as this invisibility will hold for a bit, at least, maybe not the full hour, but I think she spends some time just letting herself be small and letting herself be scared.

[SPEAKER_03]: you sit with this fear, and the day passes around you.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think the one thing that's all I made us during this period is hold Ironwood as tightly as she can and send a flower to Lila.

[SPEAKER_04]: You do.

[SPEAKER_04]: flower, grows on the hilt, blossoms, and then folds in on itself and disappears.

[SPEAKER_04]: A moment passes, and then the sword covers itself with flowers of every shade.

[SPEAKER_04]: And Lila sends her flowers back.

[SPEAKER_01]: I hug the sword and cut myself a little bit by accident.

[SPEAKER_01]: I do that a lot.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm usually bleeding from something.

[SPEAKER_01]: She's clumsy, but I think she like holds the sword a little bit.

[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe holds it too tight, but that's okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why it?

[SPEAKER_04]: You run into Davy's house.

[SPEAKER_04]: Davy, Davy, they're gone.

[SPEAKER_04]: You hear in here.

[SPEAKER_04]: I follow in.

[SPEAKER_04]: You run to an inner closet.

[SPEAKER_04]: and open the door, and there, sort of, huddled together, there's a little hobgoblin' family.

[SPEAKER_04]: Davey, his mom and his dad all huddled together.

[SPEAKER_04]: His dad is a worker, like a man of the earth.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thick overalls, grimy, as mom is a teacher.

[SPEAKER_04]: Not at the university, just at a primary school.

[SPEAKER_04]: and they cling to their son and their son clings to them, and Davy says, Why it?

[SPEAKER_04]: He lets go and he runs at any hugs you.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll come back.

[SPEAKER_04]: I was so scared.

[SPEAKER_04]: You're okay?

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: For what?

[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know what to do.

[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know what to do so I confessed.

[SPEAKER_04]: You can you confess what I confessed to the local priest about what you were doing and I didn't know what to do and I told him that I wouldn't act on it but I think he did.

[SPEAKER_04]: He says, and I'm sorry and I hurt you and I hurt your friends and I didn't mean for that to happen.

[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't want it to happen, I just...

[SPEAKER_05]: I haven't seen my friends yet, but...

You're safe.

[SPEAKER_05]: And that's the most important thing right now that you and your family are safe.

[SPEAKER_05]: We can go...

Find my friends.

[SPEAKER_05]: But I...

[SPEAKER_05]: I...

[SPEAKER_05]: I hope you...

Get why I did what I did.

[SPEAKER_05]: And thunder pass.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: I do.

[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, um, hi, Mr.

Mr.

suit and I'm, I'm Wyatt, Mr.

suit and raise his hand and goes, go to see you Wyatt.

[SPEAKER_05]: It says nice to finally meet you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Davies, but Davies told us a lot about you.

[SPEAKER_05]: Um, can the, you, Mr.

Mr.

suit and can we go talk in a different room for just a quick second?

[SPEAKER_04]: They say, they say, uh, yeah, uh, let's, let's get out of this closet.

[SPEAKER_04]: You are on the sidewalk and you watch as an elven, a half-elven man appears at the end of the street.

[SPEAKER_04]: Tighten it, bun, a quarter-staff behind him.

[SPEAKER_06]: I stand.

[SPEAKER_04]: He looks over any seasio.

[SPEAKER_04]: He begins walking towards you.

[SPEAKER_06]: Stop.

[SPEAKER_04]: He stops.

[SPEAKER_06]: I assume you're here for a while at fallside.

[SPEAKER_04]: He says, [SPEAKER_04]: Master for Sif, sent me to secure his position as governor of Echo.

[SPEAKER_04]: I came to secure Wyatt.

[SPEAKER_06]: Wyatt does not want to go back.

[SPEAKER_06]: You can have him answer that for himself.

[SPEAKER_06]: But I will not let him be taken where he does not want to go.

[SPEAKER_04]: My goal is not to take young master for a scythe where he wants to go, but where he is the most safe.

[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe we'll have different definitions of safe, perhaps.

[SPEAKER_06]: I have no quarrel with you, but anyone just doing their jobs gets no quarter from me.

[SPEAKER_04]: Solomon, you are at the end of the street, you can see this interaction happening.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Solomon understands that there's only so much time to be small and looking a bit [SPEAKER_01]: Clive, howdy, don't know whether you recognize me out of context.

[SPEAKER_04]: I recognize you, ma'am.

[SPEAKER_01]: Please, tell me, is fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think I've told you that before, but I don't think that he has liked it real well.

[SPEAKER_01]: Why it's inside, he'd be happy to see you.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, this is Clive, this, why it's friend from Threat.

[SPEAKER_01]: Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[SPEAKER_04]: He says, are you friends of Master Wyatt's?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, sir.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: Are you friends with Grand High and Quizzed-a-Lucin-Court-Waw?

[SPEAKER_06]: No Child-Mudderer?

[SPEAKER_06]: Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, [SPEAKER_01]: Look, um, Clive can we just agree to not take anybody anywhere?

[SPEAKER_01]: We have done our damn this to keep all why it safe.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that we have done so pretty successfully.

[SPEAKER_01]: And if I'm not, say so myself, he's kept us safe a number of times.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's pretty clever with, with the fire and all, but, [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't we all just get together and talk out next steps?

[SPEAKER_01]: We may you know harm.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you want to hurt us either.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a lot of fight left in me right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'd really rather just talk.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why hit?

[SPEAKER_04]: You're inside as you hear voices in the street.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you recognize all of them.

[SPEAKER_04]: The suit and family is with you.

[SPEAKER_04]: But you recognize the voices of Solomon, Hayden, and Clive.

[SPEAKER_04]: The circle lights up, and then two figures appear in it.

[SPEAKER_04]: clutches her chest, and leans against a column.

[SPEAKER_04]: The other snarles, and turns on her, and says, [SPEAKER_04]: You are here for me, and you almost got me killed.

[SPEAKER_04]: It won't happen again.
