Welcome to episode 8 of Husk Firm of Pride,
a D&D's for nerds adventure.
Previously.
Baby, think about it before you kill us all.
I thought heaven was just an endless black void
where you couldn't feel and all you could do was think
and hear an owl panicking.
I would like to use charm person on Edmund.
I would like to cast charm person on Cassie.
I'm like, look, it's just kind of not a don.
You know what? What do you suggest we do, Zilly?
I've been poisoned.
Our good friend has been poisoned.
This elf is Iparoni.
I'm writing him down, but I am.
Hartsai.
Iparoni Hartsai.
Humanoid figure with the black matted hair and white robes
is standing in the center of this crypt.
The feet are just visible below the robes.
Oh, you're flying.
That's pretty cool.
And they're hovering just like a couple inches off the ground.
One more room.
We'll try one more room, guys.
Of course, we should try one more room.
It's a great idea, Zilly.
Brilliant idea, Zilly.
You are the best.
You get the general impression from what you hear that he is praying to bring an army of
dead against the Nordic people.
Someone has come and with hand and finger and nail scratched into the wall this arcane cell everything about it feels wrong
and evil you can summon an ape a dire weasel a dire wolf a giant eagle a lion i think you had
a giant owl lion uh satan you had me in a zombie fight the force of the spiked chain nearly knocks
this elf just down onto the ground.
You all see your elven adversary standing at the chapel podium before his dead sermon,
his arms raised for an arcane gesture.
Every corpse in this place has its head, like, slightly bowed,
as if, like, in reverent prayer.
They all stay like that.
It's the elf's turn again.
Oh, my God. Oh, Adam.
Adam, why do you tug at our heartstrings and nerves?
Get fucked, mate.
Get fucked.
Okay.
The elf points up at Daniel
and tries to cast the spell again.
Daniel's like, nah, mate.
He swings the chain down.
Daniel, what a handsome champion. mate great house firmer nah nah nah nah yeah he swings the chain out down and just like
lays out this elf he kills him straight up like neatly bisects half of his body. Come back over.
This is going to be awkward to explain to the ape.
Hey.
All good.
It's here for another, like,
12 seconds, I think.
Just pat it on the head. Give it a banana.
Oh, no, wait. Five times six is...
30.
30 seconds? 30 seconds.
If I use dominate animal on it...
It's already under your command.
Oh, sick.
Give it a high five.
I high five the ape and then go check the elf.
Come ape front.
Okay.
Ape's like, why?
Daniel's just like standing over the elf like...
I'm going to look around the to see what if there's anything else
he brings the chain down on the elf again and again not good again good there's no other
entrances or exits to this room you can find you do you you're pretty sure you're at the last room
look at that guys we got through the last room we killed the zombie elf guy I'm like elf zombie
that wasn't what we're here for wait Wait. You're right, Zilly.
We did. Hooray. We saved
the day. Oh, the evil presence just dies.
It's gone. Oh, how good.
Well, I think we should all have a
quick scan of the room, or a detailed
scan of the room for Karloff. Yeah, we searched
for clues. So,
behind the altar, the altar
by the way has like this
massive crack in it. It's like a large steel altar. Not steel, sorry, stone altar. The altar, by the way, has like this massive crack in it.
It's like a large stone altar.
There's like a crack, sunders straight down the middle of it.
And it's like covered in what you assume to be blood.
Can I use detect magic on it?
You can.
Actually, all the magic has left this place.
What?
I just made up the rules.
All the magic has left this place.
You detect no magic from...
I just thought, like, if I could detect magic on the blood,
I could know whose blood it was.
Oh, no.
Like a DNA test.
You're thinking of...
Laura Noda.
Summon CSI.
What a spell.
Can I get rid of that sigil, like the war hammer or something?
Get to that in just a moment.
There's a couple more obvious things that I'll just lie out for you.
So behind the altar as well, there's like a little bedroll
and like a sack full of personal effects
where you assume this guy has been like living.
A closer inspection of the corpses as well as you like pass them.
None of them are elves.
All of them are Nords and all of them have their throats slit.
Oh, goodness.
He was going to...
Do we know any of them?
Highs or lows?
Highs.
You don't.
Edric, highs or lows?
Highs.
Highs.
And Zilli.
Lows. Heys. Heys. And Zilli. Lows.
Lows.
Yeah,
Zilli and Edric,
because both of you
have been living here
like more recently,
you recognize a bunch
of people,
like no one from
any major towns,
but you're like,
oh,
that guy had like a farm
out this way
and stuff like that.
Haven't heard from him
in a couple weeks.
Making sense.
Yeah,
you don't notice anyone
from any,
like I said, from any major towns
Anyone from my war party?
No soldiers
It looks like
People who were too weak to defend themselves
What's in his personal effects?
You open the sack
Some very mouldy and old rations
A bunch of diaries or journals um like a stack of three okay or
actually three years like maybe five or six personal journals cursory quick scan of them
the first more recent years the first couple are, just leather-bound journals, but then you have to, like...
The most...
They're dated.
So when you pull out, like, the later ones,
some of them are a bit sticky to the touch and sort of damp.
He did it with human skin.
Yeah, they look handmade, these more recent ones.
This is fucked.
What's in, like, the last few entries?
You flipped through the last few entries?
An entry from a week ago or something like that was just like oh yeah you know elvin that's right
uh was just the line um revenge revenge revenge revenge across five pages just written over and
over and over again i'm curious to see what it was revenge about, but I'm guessing we did something. He's detailing
awful, evil
rituals that he's been doing.
He's just been capturing
Nords, taking them here,
sacrificing them to...
From the pages, you get it's like some
old elven god, long
disused.
And this god is
of necromancy and undeath.
Haswell of Bride.
This man was driven insane by the loss.
Yep.
Any sign of Kolhoff whatsoever?
You also see some entries, like, this guy's had some very loose contact with some other,
like I said a little while ago, Edric, you, like, had a couple tussles with this specific
group of elves.
So you actually see him mentioning, like, contact he's had with some of the other heads.
He hasn't spoken in a while with the guy in charge, Pabernet.
Pabernuckle.
Pampernuckle.
Pabernet.
Pampernuckle.
He hasn't spoken in a while with him, but the last correspondence was him trading Karl Hoff off to Pabernet.
Don't trade Karl Hoff off.
Don't do this.
So Karl Hoff got traded off to someone.
It mentions a location where you could find Pabernet,
but that's like maybe a couple, maybe a month old, that location.
And past that, there's more like recent ones, but these are to just
other lieutenants rather than the leader.
Sort of pass that to Zilli.
Be like, these are the lists of
all the places of the lieutenants
and this is where Karl Hof was. There are three lieutenants
in total, plus a month old
reference to where Pabonet might be.
Well, at least we know a month ago he was alive.
There's still... What do you
suggest we do? Daniel sits down on the altar and just has a calm moment. Oh, okay. Well, at least we know a month ago he was alive. There's still... What do you suggest we do?
Daniel sits down on the altar and just has a calm moment.
Oh, okay.
Well, we might give him a moment and then there's not much else here.
We can probably leave, guys.
Anything else in the throne room of sorts?
You mentioned you might want to try to break this holy sigil scratch onto the wall.
Yeah, I did.
Unholy sigil, rather.
Okay. Yeah, you put a giant crack in itholy sigil, rather. Okay.
Yeah, you put a giant crack in it.
It's enough, probably.
The evil presence died as soon as the cleric did,
so you think maybe this is enough to... Yeah.
Just in case.
Okay.
So, Zilly, what's our next move?
I think we should probably leave, guys.
We should probably leave.
There's not much left.
Take what we found back to Herrscher?
Yeah, yeah.
Is that an idea?
Yeah, yeah, we'll go back.
We'll take the long way home, away from rivers.
Thank you, Adam.
And, um...
Okay, on the trip back.
I'm looking forward to what happens in five hours.
I worked out what I want to do.
So, I'm going to make them make spellcraft checks,
and if they identify the spell, then it is.
Unfortunately, Edric does not have the spellcraft skill,
so only Cassius can make this check.
Yes, because Edric is the one who's most pissed at me,
so that's good.
But I'm the one who's going to throw you in a river.
It was a level one spell, right?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.
Yeah, level one.
Come on, Adam.
You got away with it. I want to look this up, because this is actually like... I'm going to be so happy Adam. You got away with it.
I want to look this up because this is actually like...
I'm going to be so happy.
If you got away with this.
The DC for this is either 10 plus spell level or 15 plus spell level.
If it's 10 plus spell level, she got away with it.
15 plus spell level, she got away with it.
Come on.
15, 15, 15, 15.
How do we justify it? They're in our heads. Like, 15, 15, 15. How do we justify it?
They're in our heads.
Like, nah, she's too...
15 plus spell level.
Yes!
Yeah!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Allie got away with it.
Zilli got away with it.
Everyone can get fucked.
Woo!
Your characters do not know what happened.
I'm mad.
Are you?
Yeah.
Are you?
I'm angry and I don't know why.
As in, Zammet's mad. Yeah, Zammet's mad.
But you know what?
Edric, don't have a problem.
What a good time. Hey Cassius,
you want to go back home and braid each
other's hair? So,
silly. Yep. Good work
in the mines. Thanks. No, good work
in the crypts. You really took lead at the end.
You took lead at the end there.
Well done.
And yeah, you really showed a lot of strength of character and growth from where we started.
So good job.
I mean, still not happy with the whole blinding thing.
Yeah, I am sorry about that.
That's all right.
I am sorry.
That's fine, I guess.
Yeah.
I just want to remind them.
I'd be like, look, I read about it.
But good job with the tactic on killing that elf.
Thank you.
I think that was you, yeah?
Well, I mean, I would have gone in slower,
but you should give a bit of credit to Daniel and his blind rage.
All right.
Yeah, good.
Cool.
And just a little, just a quick,
let's everyone maybe not rush ahead next time.
Sounds like a good idea.
Good idea, yeah.
Let's put a pin in that.
We'll come back to that.
It's in the maybe pile.
It's in the maybe pile.
And that is literally a live grenade you're sitting on.
Not literally, that's wrong.
So when our travel's back, do we heal up to full?
How long does it take?
Not that long.
Barely a day.
Three days, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah, it was three days.
I'd like to also make a note that through that whole debacle,
I didn't lose a single hit point.
Yeah, Zilli's going to be fine.
Wow.
Not a single hit point.
Yeah, everyone would heal 15 hit points.
And also, over those three days, Cassius,
the damage you took to your intelligence and wisdom is gone.
Yes.
Good stuff.
I like how you tell us.
Oh, and also the damage to Daniel's strength is gone.
I'm not at full health yet.
I just want to point that out.
That's a shame.
How far are you from full health?
Three hit points.
No, I'm not going to use a potion for that.
No, waste.
I could use a spell.
Hey, can we go shopping and maybe get some potions for poison?
Like, I feel like this is something we never do.
I feel like we've encountered it at least twice.
I feel like in Hos Firma.
That's how you died, isn't it?
That's how you almost died too.
The little town of, I don't have it written down.
I mean, Leo.
Oh, right. Yeah, sorry. I just looked at Dammit and then he's like, what is happening? The Little Town of I don't have it written down Oh right
Yeah sorry I just looked at Zamet and then he's like
What is happening
Different character Ellie
I don't know about this Leo person
And Zamet can't remember either
It's because of the brain damage
Nah he had brain damage
She had another eraser
Can I help you with that? Jackson has lost our communal
I got an eraser.
Don't!
Adam needed it and I threw it at him.
He threw it back.
Why do I hit record when I do?
I could just wait until they're all settled down.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I hope this makes it in so everyone knows what a
fucking annoyance you guys can be.
I meant I wanted this makes it in so everyone knows what a fucking annoyance you guys can be. Oh, God.
I meant I wanted, because it would be a hassle to do that every time I wanted to erase something.
Adam's getting super salty. So I was hoping, I was wishing I had two erasers, which I do.
You do?
We can cut this one in half if you like.
No.
No, not again.
You've cut enough of my erasers in half.
I broke one by accident. Is that mic fine, Jack? Let's have a look. No, not again. You've cut enough of my razors in half. I broke one by
accident. Is that mic
fine, Jack? Let's have a look. That's super good.
No, it's fine. I'm like this. It's fine.
Whatever. It's fine, Samet. What do you
want me to do? Nothing. I'll make do with some bread.
Is this what you want? As a hot
tip for all the listeners at home, in a pinch
bread can function as an eraser. What?
Are you using bread? No.
I was like, where did you get it from?
Why can't we have some?
We're hungry.
You just want some bread.
Yes, please.
We just had a cheese platter.
We did.
Except we didn't because this is live, ladies and gentlemen.
Anyway.
Okay, so you get back into town.
Oh, three days worth of rations, I guess.
All right, yep.
I'll mark that off.
I'll mark them down on me.
Sure, why not?
No, we hunted. Fuck it. I'm rob Alright, yep. I'll knock that off. I'll knock them down. I don't mean. Sure, why not? No, we hunted.
Fuck it.
I'm robbing nothing off.
Well, did you though
or are you about
to starve yourself?
I want,
let,
let's go hunting for deer.
Let's let fate decide.
Ooh, Edric,
for someone who wants
to go hunting for deer,
your skill in that
is not great.
I'm gonna take Daniel.
Nah, take the druid.
Alright,
I'll take Cassius.
He can do detect, detect, detect. Alright,, I'll take Cassius. He can do detective.
All right, are we going hunting for deer?
Let's do this.
It'll take you four days, though.
That's fine.
Let's go hunting for deer.
I want to go through it, Adam.
No, it's just a check.
No, but I had a great plan.
I'm sure you did.
I wanted to use dominate animal animal make the animal come toward me
and just punch it in the mouth
you're able to feed everyone across the
actually wait one more roll
well it gets a bit iffy
towards the end
we can supplement with rations
and that's another day of hit point healing
sure could you say it four days
so you just wasted four days
instead of three on a time sensitive thing as thing, as far as you're aware.
I'm never going to get that.
All my spells restart.
Hang on.
Time-sensitive?
I get to change again.
Yes.
Yeah.
You got to change again anyway.
No, I know.
Yeah, but we forgot.
And then I just got to write down all my spells again.
Oh, man.
What do I change into next time?
Cheetah, I think. And I just got to write down all my spells again. Oh, man. What do I change into next time?
Cheetah, I think.
I want you to turn into a dire weasel and then you can talk to my weasel.
I think that's how it works.
It's not.
And you can fall in love.
And then spend all my time as a dire weasel fucking the shit out of your weasel.
Oh, that's gross.
You made it gross.
Yeah, gross.
I mean, it's not bad. Sometimes part of love is fucking the shit out of the person you love.
That's true.
That's the nature of life, ladies and gentlemen.
That's nature.
Anyway.
You get back into town, and as soon as you get back into Lor MacKane,
it becomes very quickly apparent that something has gone wrong
while you guys were away.
A bunch of the houses here have, like, boarded up windows and doors and look abandoned.
And one house is just completely burnt out.
It's like a husk of what it was.
I'm going to try and find Herrscher.
Yeah, we'll search for Herrscher.
Okay.
The streets are also eerily, not completely deserted, but very sparse of people.
What happened?
You're probably going to go check the tavern.
Yes, that's where we know she is.
First port of call when you're looking for Hersha.
You get in there. She's in there, but she's not
drinking. She's in a center table
with a bunch of the other town guard, and they
have a map spread out before them, and they're
sitting around discussing the map.
I'll hand this over to you.
I head over to Hersha.
She looks over as you come.
She spots that Hoff isn't with you guys,
and, like, her face gets a little stern.
Are we in trouble?
No, you just...
I ask myself that every 20 minutes of my day.
We're in military...
Okay, so you get there, and Hersha, like, nods and says,
what is the news?
We've traced back to the tale about the crypts.
We found a plot of one of these elves is going to unleash an undead army on us.
We've stopped that.
He was responsible for killing a lot of our people in the countryside.
But we have some information in regarding to three different lieutenants of the elves
and a possible fourth one where Karl Hof, the leader where Karl Hof was traded about
a month ago.
So that's the information that we have now from Pumpernickel.
Pumpernickel.
Pumpernickel bombs.
Pumpernickel people.
Pumpernickel pops.
The Pumpernickel people.
I think I just have an aneurysm
Okay
So
You tell her all that
She nods
Do you tell her the names
Of the lieutenants?
Because you don't know
Did we read them?
I didn't really give them to you
You didn't inquire much further
Oh but did we read
Did I read them?
We still got the books
You know the names and stuff
Hey we've got the books
We'll give her the books
Yeah
Okay
She nods and says The one you killed Was it Drow? No I don't think so We still got the books. You know the names and stuff. Hey, we've got the books. We'll give her the books. Yeah. Okay.
She nods and says, the one you killed, was it Drow?
No, I don't think so.
We don't know.
Was it Drow?
No, it was just a high elf.
Underground elves, that's Drow.
High elf is like when you think of elf.
Samet knows what a Drow is.
But does Edric know?
Ali does not know, and neither does Ili.
Herger explains to you,
drow are like dark elves who live beneath the earth in massive underground cities.
They're often incredibly evil and despised.
They're a surface, like, cousins.
There are, like, small, tiny elven communities,
or drow communities within the elven community at large,
but they're often like shunned and sometimes just outright...
Haunted?
Yeah.
And that was not what we faced, guys?
No, you faced a high elf, which is white skin,
like archetypical type elf.
What happened to the town?
I ask Hersha.
We were attacked by the drow.
Oh. That's abnormal. That's bad. Iha. We were attacked by the drow. Oh.
That's abnormal.
That's bad.
I assume.
We didn't fight the drow.
One of the lieutenants, like, she flips through the box.
Did we fight the drow in the war?
You know that Pabonet, his, like, entourage included some drow.
They're, like, sneaky assassins.
They got new paths beneath the earth that no one else does.
Very rare to fight some drows.
How'd the wolf problem go by the by?
As an aside
It's not dead, we haven't had time
Town was attacked by drow
We killed some wolves
We tried
She wasn't having a go at you
See I'm constantly on edge
I'm like these guys are going to find out what I did
You guys asked Herja about the wolves
and she's like, we haven't had the chance.
You've done more work against the wolves than they have.
Zilli, you did really well in that.
You should be proud.
That was the time where I used spells that worked.
So, yeah, that's sincere.
Zilli, you've really turned it around.
I'm coming awake.
Well done.
I'm glad I have you on this little entourage party of ours now.
We're going to have to keep this up.
Herger flips through the books, closes them, and then says,
I do not know elephant.
And then you have to translate it for her.
Oh, I love this woman.
Between you guys and the town guard,
you've got a vague understanding of what's going on with respect to the information you've just gathered.
Adam.
Yes.
You know that scene from Ghost?
Yes.
Where they're doing pottery together.
I haven't seen that movie.
It's a very sexy scene.
I know that scene.
You know the scene.
Can it be like that with me and Hersha, but reading books and I'm explaining some albums?
Like, you've got a hand in your hand and you trace the words.
I think you could get your arms around her.
Even better.
She could get her arms around him.
She could get her hand around him.
Nah, that's not true.
She's not that big.
Nah, I'm loving this woman.
At least you can lean over her shoulder and just sweeten up.
Not sweeten up, but like, you know.
But like that, Adam.
Okay.
Yes.
I love this.
Just some gentle having a good time with her and Edric.
You do that.
All right.
All right, all right, all right.
She like shakes you off a little bit And gives you a weird look
Rebuked
As you discuss the raids that the drow did on your city
Hey man
Any opportunity for romance
You don't know
Any port in a storm
No just her
That one specific port in a storm
Okay
So
The map centers on your town.
And then in different directions, there are different leads you can chase.
To the north, about one day's travel, there's Invercoa Pathshine.
Oh, God.
Yeah, write that one down.
Invercoa Pathshine?
Oh, no, sorry.
Invercoa is not to the north.
It's to the south a day.
Okay.
What's the terrain like there?
It's basically where Elven territory and your territory start mixing.
So it's actually forested area, this specific part.
Invacoa is a druid.
And he has an enclave of druids that surround him and protect him.
I'm a druid.
I can fight druids.
That's not how it works.
Druid v. druid.
Fire on fire.
He also, according to some reports, has living trees that help him and fight for him.
Fighting a tree isn't hard.
I've never done it, so you wouldn't know.
You probably fought a tree.
Let's be honest.
I probably fought an actual tree.
Yeah.
That I'm mad at.
Yeah.
Good.
All right.
That's one option.
One day south is Invacoa.
That's option A.
Option A.
Four days northwest is Hepedid.
Grand.
Moonwanderer.
Oh, my God.
Who is the drow?
The drow that attacked your village?
Sweet revenge.
You know Precious Little about him.
Not many people like talking about drow just just because they don't like Drow,
and also because they're a little afraid of him.
Fair enough.
Yeah, that one's going to be a bit of a hard lead to track down.
Even with the information you've got from the book,
the Underdark, which is like the world beneath this world,
is incredibly complex and layered upon layered.
And so Even with the
instructions you've been given,
you think it would be hard to traverse
the Underdark.
Okay, so that's option B.
It's not a great one.
I'm leaning towards A.
Two Days East is
Alpn... Al
Nipper.
Al Nipper? Al Nipperip-er. Al-nipper?
Al-nipper.
Mm-hmm.
Al-nipper shadow wing.
Elven names.
Al-nipper shadow wing.
Adam, this is your world.
Like, you've made these names.
You couldn't have picked John?
That's stupid names for elves.
Al-nipper.
Al-nipper is an elven name.
Alnipur Shadowwing.
Yep.
Yes, Alnipur Shadowwing.
Yes, go on.
Is a elven paladin.
Okay.
He has a warband that have been, like, not harassing,
but, like, they'll come upon or they'll, like,
ride up against Nordic, like, soldiers.
They specifically pick soldiers
and just challenge them to fair combat.
And they've been doing pretty well against that.
Yeah.
And that's it.
Those are our options.
Those are the three,
unless you wanted to track down the possibly cold tracks of Pabonet.
Okay.
That one is going to take you a while.
You'd have to go back to Lockfort.
Well, Herja,
what is the most
pressing? Where would we be
needed the best for
us? The drow assassins
has been harassing
the town. So they're
priority number one. Bring me his head, please.
Oh, okay. Yep, that's
clear as bloody day.
So the druids, what have they been doing?
Have they been attacking us or are they just staying there?
They're all harassing towns and villages.
In Vakoa, the druid has been killing crops.
Well, there's no crops, but killing crops stores.
Okay.
Setting fire to them striking it like indirectly
striking at the agricultural heart of hosfermo sure okay if we go after the druid it's quicker
to get there it might be a tougher battle but they're not doing as an immediate threat against
us if we go after the uh alnipa shadow wing this is east. That might help our soldiers, which would free them up if the drow attack
or we head off to the drow directly.
But we, of course, could get lost in the underdark.
There's going to be a lot of potentially, yes.
It's a good summary.
Thank you.
So what do we want to do?
Well.
No.
No, I had a thing. I was going to contribute and i was like this isn't going to
help at all because it was just me giving dating advice so go on uh if we go after the druid uh
again that will bolster the agriculture of our husk firmer however if we go after the uh paladin
that might be enough to bolster our own forces if the drow do attack again.
That seems the best.
Yeah, let's go take down the paladin.
Is that what she wanted?
She wants the drow.
She wants the drow's head.
But we can't go to the underworld because we're going to fuck it up.
The drow has attacked us not as warriors but as families.
What?
Eh?
The drow did not target warriors.
The drow targeted the weak, the old, the young.
Okay, she's getting me all emotional.
You're tugging at the heartstrings.
Mystra's house was burnt.
Oh, no.
Is she okay?
Is Mystra all right?
Yes.
She's living with, says, like, just someone else around town.
Okay.
So if we can go after the paladin,
do you have enough guard here to protect the village?
I haven't enough troops to send away for this.
Let's take on the drow.
That's the one downstairs.
Mm-hmm.
I picture it downstairs.
My instincts would say if we try and take down the paladin, would that...
What does your heart say, Adragan?
I still think we should take down the paladin.
I vote Drow!
I'd like to vote the other one.
So Daniel has to choose.
What is your vote, Daniel?
Daniel...
We tricked you into choosing for us.
Daniel, uh... We tricked you into choosing for us.
Daniel, uh, asks Herja about, like, who was, like, attacked and stuff like that.
Herja goes over, like, when, uh, Mistra's place was burnt down.
A couple places were burnt down, but Mistra's was one of them.
Uh, when Mistra's place was burnt down, they didn't find enough, like,
they didn't find enough remains of some of the children to bury them.
Uh, Daniel, like Daniel rips the table.
The drow.
I high-fived Daniel.
He high-fives you back.
They're all working with each other, correct?
Loosely, yes.
They are in contact with each other, yes.
I just don't think we should go to the drow straight away,
half-cocked, without knowing what's in the Underdark.
I've never been there.
I don't know what's going on there.
I don't know how to prepare for this.
Do I know anything about the Underdark?
Do I know anything?
No.
Do I?
No.
Oh.
And I'd like to confirm for Edric that you do not know either.
I had said that.
I say we take down Elnipa or we heal.
Elnipa seems like he was like a fair fight.
We don't have to give him a fair fight.
So if we can take him down and try and get as much information about the Underdark.
Oh, sorry, her.
Her.
Elnipa is a her.
Sorry.
If we take her down, we might be able to get some information about the drow and the underdark.
And from there, we can...
How far away is...
It's northwest, and if we travel east... Okay.
So, I still think paladin.
I know your bloodlust.
So I still think Paladin.
I know your bloodlust.
Both of you, Cassius and Daniel, seem to be wanting to go after the drow,
but we don't know how long that will take.
How long will it take to deal with the Paladin?
Two days there.
If they're trying to fight soldiers, they might seek us out.
You are probably like Edric.
With your harassing and their harassing of you of this band,
uh,
you know enough about Alneper that like,
it'll be a pretty straightforward,
you get there,
you just like put out the word or put out the feelers like,
hey,
come fight us.
He'll come fight you.
She'll come fight you.
Sorry.
Fine.
You'll be fighting unicorns if you fight her. Oh,
I'm sold.
I'm sold.
I'm sold.
Let's go. Unicorns. Done. I'm going to guaranteed fight. I guess I'm sold Let's go Unicorns done
I guess I'm in
Who did we sell then Ali or Zilli
We're going to both
Let's go
We will do our best
We'll take down Elnipa
And from there
We'll try and get word to you
Somehow
And from there we might try and get word to you somehow.
And from there, we might try and go off to drow.
Message.
Does that help?
Do you have a message?
Whisper the conversation at a distance.
Does not travel far enough.
I've got animal messenger.
I can get a little snow hare to be like... Yo, Herjo.
Why do you never pick a flying animal?
They did it.
Smell.
Smell.
That's smell.
No, snow hare.
All right.
Let's head off then.
Why waste time?
All right.
Do we need any resupplies?
Potions.
Potions.
If you want.
If you pick up rations, you won't have to like slow yourself down hunting for food.
Yeah.
I think that was my choice last time anyway.
Any chance I can.
It's five silver for a day's worth of rations.
Can we go off to Mistra and see if she's got any potions?
Let's go up to Mystra and see how she's doing.
I've got that bindle.
I'm going to go to Mystra, and I'm going to tell her of Zilli
and how great she was in those crypts.
Thank you.
Because she just took point.
Thank you.
Well done.
What a champion.
What a legitimate champion.
Will Zilli's charm person spell come back to bite her?
