Uh, yeah, I'd like to go and look for Daniel. I start helping with the preparations. You wander out to the orphanage.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Is this the first time you've been to the Small Ring Wreckage? I can't remember. Yes? Okay. So it's probably a bit of a sad moment for you. I'm avoiding it. Daniel has strung himself up with his chain. Oh no!
Starting point is 00:01:04 Is he just sitting there using it as a swing? He's dead. He hung himself. Are you forgetting that Zilli's super hot? Well, not hot. Just charismatic. Hi. Super hot. I'd like to carry him in such a way that you can still clearly see
Starting point is 00:01:20 the drow bolts. I'm going to say you start planning with Bertram. I'll follow. No, you do pretty well. Alright, sick. People are gonna live. We go south. Whoever is the god of this world
Starting point is 00:01:35 is heartless, Adam. Wesley says go full hog. What does that mean? Go whole hog. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Does Cassius know what you've done? again. Do it again. Oh, God. Does Cassius know what you've done? I would like to break down now, please. For real or are you pretending?
Starting point is 00:01:53 No, for real. In the weight of the burden of what I tried to do. Edric, you have the orb that Mistra gave you and... Tarset to Zilli? Yeah. The smoke and storm disappears and it doesn't go clear like it did last time, but like this darkness just is inside it. You maybe look at it a little closer and you realize it's got like the night sky inside it.
Starting point is 00:02:15 It would almost be beautiful if you couldn't be comforted by something like that right now. Zilly. Is he trying to comfort me? Hold on to that. Okie dokie. We need to make sure. Make sure.
Starting point is 00:02:28 So you mark that you give it away and you mark that you have it. Make. We need to make sure. So you've charmed Cassius. Okay. We need to make. So the search party arrives. Before that happens.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Before. We need to A, make it before, we need to, A, we need to address this in a bit. We can do that later. Two, we need to, I agree with what you've done in terms of taking Daniel down, but I don't necessarily agree with what you've done with Cassius. We need to probably bury Daniel. I understand it's fine.
Starting point is 00:03:05 He's so mad at me. We need to bury. While they're out searching, we bury him. Okay? Okay. All right. I'm on board. Where are we off to?
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah, the people arrive. It's Bertram and basically five other people, just strong backs and sharp swords, essentially. I give Zilli a bit of a dirty look. And just be like... I don't know why, I mean... Okay, so we need to split... Bertram kneels down by the corpse, puts a hand on it. You get a little...
Starting point is 00:03:35 Zilli and Edric, you get a little uncomfortable with how he's looking at it. All right, Bertram. Mm? He, like, he goes like, mm, but he doesn't look away from the body Go out in pairs We need to make sure We are secure Do a cursory
Starting point is 00:03:56 Look around He turns around He looks you in the eyes And says yes You and me He basically breaks everyone into pairs With you and him in one pair Okay
Starting point is 00:04:06 You guys head off? Have I? Yeah I noticed that You noticed that Zilly Can I look at I'd like to look at Edric
Starting point is 00:04:14 And just be like I look and be like Trump Wesley Edric I'm gonna let it go I'll let it go And I'll let it go. And I might just suggest Cassius.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Hang on, wait. So let me get this on five people. Okay, so he gets two of his guys to take the body back. Oh, I was going to say, Cassius and Zilli, can you look after Daniel? No, Bertram says. My two guys will look after Daniel. Bertram's clued in! Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I've got to go and find the drow, Edric. I've got to find the people who did this. No. Bertram looks at you. You and blank, the guy you're with, will just stay by the... Blank. The blank.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, his name is Blank. You and Blank will stay by the remains of the orphanage and you'll be our touchstone base Yeah, his name is Blanc. You and Blanc will stay by the remains of the orphanage, and you'll be our touchstone base where everyone will be operating the search out of. I and Edric will search this area. Such and Such and Zilly will search another area. Such and Such and. Such and Such.
Starting point is 00:05:20 He just, like, breaks everyone up into quarters. If you encounter any drow, come back immediately. He just hurries through like the drow part. Yeah. Oh, Simon. You might have to kill Bertram. Oh, God. What?
Starting point is 00:05:36 No, that could help. And then you go off into doing your... All right, I'll sit there, but I'll pace because I am so worried. Adam, do we find anything? No, the area is clear. I'm not going to roll search. Would you like to roll to find out? Bertram, you guys walk towards where Bertram is set up for you guys to search.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Bertram stops, turns around. He isn't even paying attention to his surroundings. And turns to you and says, do you know what happened? I just say yes. Because I'm pretty sure I know what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what's happened? And I lay it out like Zilly found him.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Oh, oh, okay. An old friend. I think she panicked, and she's trying to cover up that he's a fucking coward. Well, do you know what happens to cowards? They don't get buried in graveyards, you know that? Yeah. But this is Karl Hoff's son.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Oh! Yeah, Bertram. Everybody did love Karl Hoff. Karl Hoff. Karl Hoff. Karl Hoff. Karl Hoff pride. Karl Hoff pride. Karl Hoff pride. Yeah, good. KHP. Kahlhof, Kahlhof, Kahlhof. Kahlhof? Kahlhof Pride. Kahlhof Pride. Kahlhof Pride. Good.

Bertram's younger than us, I lost um mistra we're losing this town we don't need this on this night we don't have to bury him we don't have to do anything you don't have to do anything but let's just not say anything to the townsfolk i don't care if you say anything when we get to lock fort of how much of a coward how much of a piece of shit daniel is for abandoning us in this hour of need but right now at this moment night. We don't need this.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Okay. Bertram nods and says, okay, when his father, if his father gets back, we'll talk to him about this. Two things. First, I need you to swear to me that you will tell his father the truth. I will.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Second, Daniel isn't a coward. We're all scared. He walks away. Moving. He fucking... All right. Sam would get your homework ready because you just got schooled. I did.
Starting point is 00:08:36 All right. How long until a charm person wears off out of curiosity? Five fucking hours. I got a while of loving silly. Out of curiosity. Five fucking hours. I got a while of loving silly. What do we do with the body until we... Keep it in the church.

Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah. I'd like to tell her while she's still charmed. How many people are here at the moment? Oh, no. Just us. I'm assuming you're taking me. I took her aside. If you wanted to, you could be like, hey, Cassius, let's trail back.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I assumed you were like, let's head in maybe behind the orphanage. Or am I not here? You can have. Basically, because it's me, Bertram, you two, yeah? That's the rest of the search party. There was five other. Did we all come back? Yeah, you're all on your way back.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Get them all. When they all leave, we'll do a bit of a Bit of a three Bit of a powwow Are you talking about like After you get back into the city But when you get back into the city I was going to say at the orphanage Oh at the orphanage Everyone's assembled at the orphanage
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah it's like everyone When they leave We'll just We sort it all out Oh I see what you mean Oh well Before you do that then Bertram turns to you and says
Starting point is 00:10:40 If you guys need to have some time Yes we do That's fine Thank you But Get back as soon as you can Obviously There's drow to you and says, if you guys need to have some time, that's fine, but get back as soon as you can, obviously, there's drow about, and
Starting point is 00:10:51 just go straight to bed. You've had a long day. No watch for you tonight. I like the heavy sarcasm with which he'd say there's drow about. There's drow about. Bertram's being a bit about. There's drow about. Bertram's being a bit rude.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I don't know why. Bertram's onto you, Zilly. So all three of us? Yep. I go to Zilly. Bertram knows. Well, that's a hot shame. Knows what?
Starting point is 00:11:21 Okay. I'd like to. Cassius, I need you to just be very quiet For about a minute and a half Please Zilly can you stop this anytime Yeah you can end it if you want I'd like to maybe tell her why she's still charmed
Starting point is 00:11:34 End it now I'm what? What did you say? You're beautiful, you're charming If someone tells me I'm charmed Adam Am I just sick with it because I'm charmed If she immediately then just says you're charming But once again when the spell ends you can revisit these memories oh i will i rolled for you and you didn't get that she cast this but you don't need to now
Starting point is 00:11:57 end it now fine disgruntled i end. You're going to get thrown in a river. I'm so happy. Where's the nearest river? It's frozen over. Oh, that'll just break your back. Oh, wait. Isn't there a difference? It's like completely frozen, and then it's just frozen over, right?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah. Frozen over should just smash through. It should die of hypothermia. Yeah. Right. So I would like to calmly explain very quickly before Cassie hits me at a safe distance exactly what I did and why I did it. So do you explain it or does she dart back?
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah. I assume she darts back and explains it. I was thinking, I'll do this. Gets out of dwarf punching range. She's got it. All right. I might be in between, maybe just a little bit in between the two of you to be just like, hey, maybe, wow, let's see how this goes.
Starting point is 00:12:48 All right, Zilly, explain it to me. I will explain about how I found... No, I'd like you to, Ali. I'd like Zilly to explain it to Cassius. Cassius, I need to tell you something. What? I just want you to know that I care a lot about you, and I know Daniel did as well.
Starting point is 00:13:05 And I know that deep down, even though you're angry and you punched him in the face and broke his jaw, that you care about Daniel too. Right? Why would you charm me, Zilly? I didn't. I did. Lie to your face.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I didn't charm you. I didn't charm you. You're an idiot. Okay. You were very distraught. I wasn't distraught, silly. I just wanted to know what was happening. I'm going to explain everything.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I panicked and I'm sorry. So I did, I maybe did a tiny itsy bitsy little bit of charming. And my bad. Like that's, that's my boo boo. So let's all just, you know. I pointed at Daniel on my arm. You know that's not this Daniel. What?
Starting point is 00:13:49 He lied to me. Hold on, what? And then... What do I care? You lied to me. You charmed me. I didn't... Well, I mean...
Starting point is 00:13:58 Did you know, Edric? Clearly you knew. Well, I made her un-charm you to tell you, yes, just them. What? I spent a couple hours in the cold doing a search. You didn't think to do this maybe before I went out and searched for nothing. We're trying to protect the image of Daniel. I know that apparently he's now a liar, but you know what this town is like.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I don't give a fuck about Karl Hoff, Patrick. You know about this town. I can't even look at the two of you. I'm going to turn around and walk off. Cassius. Where? I don't know. To the blacksmith. I'll go and sit with Daniel's corpse. I'd like to look at you again and be like,
Starting point is 00:14:39 Cha-cha. You wouldn't be expecting it now in the back of the head guys I'm sorry I said all those mean things you guys are lovely no Cassius before you go it's all Chinatown chum person

Starting point is 00:15:09 I'll be like, I just don't need this right now, okay? I don't even know what I'm doing in this town anymore. Frankly, who's keeping me here? I'm a walk to the blacksmith. I'm certainly not. Oh my god. Okay. I was going to take you away.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I'm not even joking. That was my plan. was like fuck this town A mother figure's gone The town's fucked I'm gonna take you to Asmerelle I was gonna steal you away in the middle of the night But not now That was my plan I'm not even joking That was what I this game intended to do

I'm watching, keeping not a giant distance, but I'm close enough that she knows I'm there and also to keep an eye on her. Okay. I wait until she can destroy. But I'm close enough that she knows I'm there and also to keep an eye on her. Okay. I wait until she's done. I would then do collapse on the ground and cry.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Okay. I walk over to you, pick you up, say, I'm so sorry. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. And walk you back to town. And let's address this in the morning. Okay. In the night, if you'll check under your seats, you've all won a prize.

Starting point is 00:19:35 Thank you For a second I was like Let me check what's changed Height? My height's not gonna Every time you level up You gain a meter Still a human.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Gosh dang. Who changed my player name to Jackson slash Butthole? That would have been Joel. Joel Dusha. You wily sumbitch. How did he get in here? This is done live. He stole in on the wings is done live. He stole
Starting point is 00:20:06 in on the wings of an angel. On the wings of an angel. Classic douche. There's like a song like that. No, you probably want to hold onto the eraser, to be honest. What for? I wouldn't mind it because... Did you say that catch?
Starting point is 00:20:19 You should have said my catch before. That was a catch. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It was a catch. Not unlike before. That was a catch. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It was amazing. It was all right. It was a catch. Okay. Not unlike myself, it was a catch. Bit of a humble brag there. What's that all about?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Just a brag. Straight up brag, guys. Okay. So it's the next day. You guys wake up to basically the sound of people people packing And like getting ready to be on the road Adam I'd like to make Cassie's breakfast Silently Out of what?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Whatever's there One of our wolves? The coconuts or Jack? You open the packets on some There's no packets It's medieval times You open a bag and there's some jerky in it Maybe you put it into a bowl
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yep There's no milk I don't want to say anything You go outside You's some jerky in it. Maybe you put it into a bowl. Yep. There's no milk. I don't want to say anything. You go outside you get some snow, wait for it to melt. Some water. Jerky bits. I'd like to just make breakfast. You're a bad druid by the way. Why? Eating animals.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I fight animals. That's what I do. You almost killed a unicorn. Not a good druid! Until you were like, oh, this might be bad. I would have killed that unicorn and just lost all my druid powers. Potentially. Yeah, so I'd like to make breakfast for Cassius and just don't say anything. Just give it to her and walk away.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I'm not going to roll. Yeah, you, Cassius, you wake up to some already unwrapped rations. Can I tell Zilly did it? wait, I'll put my arcane mark on it Adam that's a level 0 spell I guess, yes I cannot think of a single instance where Zilly used her arcane mark
Starting point is 00:22:02 you'll find out I don't know who did Zilly can just write, Zilly did this. Oh, okay. Is that what you write? Zilly? Maybe just put a little Z. Like, from Zilly.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Zed. There's a magical Zed written on the food. Like, love heart Zed. Just like... Like a child trying to make up with their parents. It is. Go on. You really want to get to Azamril, don't you?
Starting point is 00:22:27 I know. So badly. Zilly doesn't know that. Zilly, I mean, Ali, I'm afraid that bridge has been burned. Shut up, Jackson. You just took a torch. God. Anyway, I'll wake up, get my shit packed, what little there is of it,
Starting point is 00:22:42 and join the party walking out. Okay. So everyone's assembling in the center of town-ish. All right. They're sick and wounded, and those basically unable to move themselves are being put onto carts along with any rations or supplies. I take Bertram aside and say, look, do you have enough able-bodied men to get to Lockfort without me?
Starting point is 00:23:11 I don't know. If we don't have enough able-bodied men, I don't think you're going to make the difference. All right. So what I'm thinking is myself. Yeah. You don't want to take us? I was going to be like, and Zilly and Cass. No, wait, they hate me.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I don't hate you. I hate Zilly more than I hate you. You hated him. No, I was just sick of everyone. Maybe before Bertram, I'll have a quick conversation, a little bit of a chinwag with Zilli and Cassius. Pulling on my boots, tying them up. And just be like, look, I know we're going to Lockfort.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yep. I personally, I would like... Oh, you can all see the drow, what bodies they have managed to get. They've sort of nailed them, crucified them on crosses, and they have have managed to get. They've nailed them, crucified them on crosses, and they're sending them a light, just defiling corpses and stuff like that. As in the drow are being...
Starting point is 00:24:12 The drow. Not the drow are doing this. The drow, this is being done to the drow corpses. I'll swim with pride, cunts. I'll swim with pride, gang. Hooray! One is literally strung up by his entrails. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:27 All right! I'm going to put a pin on that for a sec, because if I think I take that down, I might get lynched myself. Anyhoo. Potentially. Have a quick chat to Cassius and maybe Zooey. I don't know, maybe separately. And be like, look, we know we're going to,
Starting point is 00:24:42 this whole party is going to, as, this whole party is going to, as in this whole town is going to Lockfort.

Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, he nods and says, look, he points to the drow, like the corpses strung up on the buildings. When we leave, don't tell anyone, but can you cut them down? It's not becoming. I was, yep, I planned that away. Okay. He nods and then, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:15 gives a bit of a, like a finger gesture and then says, hey, everyone, move out. And then, like, you know, the procession starts. They start moving off towards the sun. I'd like to sit out the front of the blacksmith, like kind of not head in hands, but sort of slouched. And if anybody approaches me, be like, Mr. Fist hasn't come back. As they leave, like a lot of people like stop by all three of you. And they're like, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Especially people who like were suffering from the burns a lot of them and their families like come up and they're like thank you so much our lives let's fill my pride that's all right i'll just say you're welcome i'm not a fucking weirdo okay so anyway every the procession leaves and they're like good luck yeah going out on the horizon Probably they're like far enough away That you can take down the corpses I start I won't even call these two
Starting point is 00:29:13 I start taking the corpses down I call out to Cassius, can you dig a hole? Okay, as you're taking the corpses down You reflect on a lot of the stuff you've done Over the past couple days Weeks, you reflect on a lot of the stuff you've done over the past couple days. Weeks, really. It's a bad time. It occurs to you that your old system of judgment isn't really applicable anymore.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Shifting your alignment to chaotic neutral from chaotic good. Is that a bad thing? What does that mean? It's not necessarily. alignment to chaotic neutral from chaotic good. Oh. That seems like a... Is that a bad thing? What does that mean? It's not necessarily. So there are two different alignments or alignment like planes that you can exist on. There's good and evil with neutral in the middle.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Good and evil self-explanatory, I feel. And then there's law and chaos with neutral in the middle. A lawful character is someone who has like a code of rules a code of laws that they respect and always follow a chaotic character has maybe an not necessarily there's no code of laws that they follow but maybe they have an internal code of laws that they follow so you were chaotic good so a chaotic good character might be like a Robin Hood type, like stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. A chaotic neutral character is more like a,
Starting point is 00:30:30 maybe like a dashing rogue, like who'll save the princess but take some of the gold for himself. Maybe like a Star-Lord type character for anyone here who knows Galaxy. It's because I killed the drow, isn't it? And then a chaotic evil character is often considered... I don't even know. Chaotic evil would be... Voldemort.
Starting point is 00:30:54 No, like one of the Hellraisers. No, Voldemort I'd say is more evil. I'm thinking Smog, actually. Chaotic evil. So what are you now? So you're more like... Sorry, what's the... People are going to have a go at me. The hunched over one.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Is that... Gollum? That's Gollum. Fuck. Well, either way. Smeagol, Gollum. No, one of them isn't evil. Not really.
Starting point is 00:31:17 One of them is evil. One of them isn't real. What's Ronan the Accuser? He'd be lawfully evil. He'd be lawfully evil, yeah. So lawful evil is like Ronan the Accuser or like Darth Vader who's like
Starting point is 00:31:26 operates within actually no Ronan the Accuser is probably neutral evil because Darth Vader he's more of a fanatic yeah who isn't really lawful
Starting point is 00:31:35 he's got his own set of religious laws you could make an argument for like a lot of different things like just because you're a specific alignment doesn't mean you always
Starting point is 00:31:42 have the same outlook on life like a lawful good character can encompass a lot of different people. Is this why my light left my eyes in Mistra's eyes? Yeah, that was a little hint towards what I was going to do, yeah. Just remember that she'll always think you're a disappointment. Her dying breath was... No, she died being sad for him.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Not disappointed. She could never be disappointed in you. You're her children. Chalk that up to more of the terrible things. Adam purposely trying to make you guys sad. I'm already sad. How else can I ruin their lives? Probably a lot of ways.
