But these things too cannot last. As one day, a brave girl wearing glass slippers snuck into the villainous man's castle and took back what wasn't his. But these things too cannot last. As one day, a brave girl wearing glass slippers snuck into the villainous man's castle and took back what wasn't his. For her bravery, the village made her their leader. For her grace, they gave her a name. Tiffany, it's your father's ancestral weapon. It feels like it's calling you. Tiffany! You're not allowed in here. I'm sorry, I just wanted to look at- This is Cinder. This is the ancestral weapon of House Grace.

Only the heir to House Grace can wield this. If anyone else wields it, somebody not of Grace blood, it will burn them. That's why you need to stay away. None of this is safe. I flick the spear up at Tafany. I approve, gesturing to cinder. It is only right that you take it. It is a sign that ye are the heir to house Grace,

your father's daughter in everything. Well, no. Do you mean blood? No, no, my mom, no, but why am I tiefling? No, no, no. I think that because I'm the only heir, right? And something might have happened to him. Maybe, I think that's why. Doodoo turns back to the fire and this time she doesn't address it to you. It's more like she's addressing it to the room or maybe even to the fire.

"'Tis only grace blood that can wield Cinder." Fucking cold it. Well then something must have happened. No, Horns. It's only grace. But I'm Horns. You've seen what he looks like. There's no way. Okay, okay. So you know that Tieflings can have human parents.

Not both human parents. No, they can both be people. Tiffany, your father kept you not for love, not for an heir, but for obligation. Oh, um, no, he chose me. I was there. I held you as a babe in my arms as your mother breathed her last. She turns her chair around and wheels out of the front smoking room. Off you go. I follow, but that's not right. Do you hand the cat to me? I'm not letting go of the cat. Okay. I don't follow because I'm like this Pop is reading the room also. Oh, no. No, no. No, I look at you. Yeah, I thought was a

Family secret Tiffany be quick Alright, yep pops coming to She wheels across the main hall to the room opposite. You know this as the, it might have just been called the portrait room. It has large, incredibly huge, it's a big space, matching the grand hall that you just passed through. Huge. These portraits, when I say they're big, I mean they are three times life size. They're huge portraits and they are every ancestral grace throughout the years. Eight portraits in total, starting with the first one is, it takes up the entire back wall. It is a double spaced one. It is the first Sir Grace, a woman who wears a beautiful ball gown.

Well, actually maybe you should describe it. The first first grace would yeah I think she would be wearing more like a beautiful dress. I don't think it would be quite a ball gown like a very elaborate detailed ornate dress. But I think she would have that steely grace look in her eyes that all the graces possess. There is embroidered into the edges of the painting, sorry, it's not a tapestry, embroidered into the edges or carved, sorry, into the, what am I saying? Carved into the frame are words which tell the story of the origins of the first grace. There was a terrible, awful general who came to the town of Mentopa long ago. He besieged the town, broke the town's back, killed the old lord of the manor and took up in this very building. So conceited

was he, so comfortable with his victory that he decided he would have a ball for all his officers and himself. The first Grace was a peasant girl who lived in the town. She snuck into what was to become Grace Manor through a very rarely used and as far as you're aware Tiffany still quite hidden secret tunnel. You don't know where it is, but there is tale that there's a secret tunnel beneath the manor. She snuck into the gala with the dress, presumably, that she's wearing in the painting and also a pair of glass slippers, danced with the general, and then when he was least expecting it, shattered her glass slipper and slit his throat with it. Thus, the first Grace took Grace Manor. That's why the sigil is a slipper. Cinder

Grace. Every subsequent painting is the next generation until finally... That's... Oh, shut up. I am so mad. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? That's... Yeah, that was a stabler. That's years ago. Hang on, hang on. So the first member of your family is just... Badass Cinderella. Pretty much, yeah. That's the origin of House Grace. Cinderella instead of Cinderella.

And that's why the sword is called- That's not even clever! That's not even clever at all! Cinder-Grace! She just took the first half of one word and put a different word at the end. That's so funny. I hate both of you.

I'm gonna drive forward and hit one of you and reverse and hit the other. I'm gonna be on the car hitting the gritty. I reckon. I should say as well, the final words of the tale are a little rhyme that you have heard many a night you heard your father muttering to himself,

either in his study or after quite a few drinks, staring into the fire. The hero's sword holds the key, the damsel shows the door, the dragon then reveals the lair where there was no lair before. The final painting is, unmistakably, Tiffany, of your father. Standing proudly, his wife, Lady Annelle, is sitting on a chair.

She is clearly meant to be holding something, but that particular whatever it is is kind of not filled in in the painting. Tiffany, you are nine. You're standing in front of that painting staring at the blank space in the canvas. Something within you feels like crying. I look around, is Dad there? Yeah, I might be watching. Just from like the entryway. Who's that?

Why, that's me and Lady Annelle. She was your wife, right? Yes, she was my wife. Did she die before you got to finish the painting? Something like that, Tiffany. Why haven't you done any new paintings? No further members of House Grace have been born. When they're born, I will commission a painting.

Until such a moment arrives, this will be the last remaining one. I just nod. I just do some nods. How's your studies going? I finished the book you wrote. Okay I will acquire another to give to you. I really like the part I really like the part at the end. Right. The part where you slayed the necromancer? Necro wizard. Oh. Norton. The necro wizard Norton. Sorry I like the part where you all came back and you had a big feast. Why don't you do the feast anymore?

Oh, there isn't the time. I would say there isn't the time. We've got the people. I will acquire you another book, Tiffany. I mean, we could just do a little feast. I will be in my study. Bye. I don't say goodbye.

I've been hurt in a way a child could never understand. And I will leave the room Tiffany you're an adult staring at that space in the canvas. Why is my face wet? That's crazy Was you right? Yes. Yep. Yeah, I think I'm allergic to cat. I don't think that's what that is Now that his hair's gone, that's when the allergic reaction kicks in. Meow.

Now that Pinchas no longer has a lap to sit in, he has begun following you around. I've been holding him the whole time. Oh, you have? Nevermind. You can't put him down. Nevermind. It's against the rules.

Dad'll get mad. Oh, boy. Um, so, uh So you right, horns. Why didn't he finish the painting? You say that to Thudu? Yeah. Thudu takes a big deep breath because, lass. Couldn't get the right shade of blue, I reckon.

He was ashamed of what he'd done. He thought he should be ashamed. His actions are his own own though, not yours. You should feel no shame for the sins of your father. GINNY I am staring deeply into the face of the person I now realise is my mother. Is it my fault? BORN No, of course not.

You hadn't even been born yet. Your father and that damn book Wait, oh wait. There was some tome some Fell magics he became obsessed with it. Do you have the book? No, I don't know where he kept it It's not in his study. I've searched all over. Do you know what it's called pop? Do you know about it? Do I know about the book? You've never heard of a book. That's not in any of the stories. Not in from his stories, but just from my general archaeological knowledge of artifacts, do I know about a fel book?

Any book? Like, is there an idea of what the book could be about? Have I heard of a book? You do know of many fel books. There are many. Hey, there's a heap of fell books Some are of secret knowledge. Some are of evil knowledge. Some are sentient. Some are just spell repositories of really awful Things that you can do to people, you know, some famous ones are the tome of all knowledge

These aren't just evil ones They're just like they're just books that are dangerous in a way the term of all knowledge the vile secret malice rhoda e magicka blank the book of vile deeds or is it sometimes known the book of vile darkness and E Maledictor Horta are some of the famous ones. I read off that list of like some of the big ones They ring any bells. He never, he did not share the book. I barely even knew he had it.

What was he trying to do with the book? He studied it. We got it from one of the creatures we defeated. What was the creature? It was a, forget the name, an alhoon I think. Does that help me with what the book might be? Still could be anything And now hoon is a type of mind flayer and a lithid they're creatures of

telepathic magic and Al hoon is a mind flayer who retreats from the telepathic magic which makes them an outcast They're like a hive mind society. Yep so to learn anything other than psionic magic mental mental magic, it's kind of, it's seen as abhorrent and otherly and mind flayers will hunt and kill alhoons. So they're solitary creatures, but alhoons learn arcane magics. Typically, because the Illithid society does not prize human life very much, so the, or life, sorry, in general, very much. So the type of magic that they learn is almost always fel or awful in nature. There's a, one of the books, one of the many tales of Sir Grace is the city in which he fights and defeats an alhoon.

From the city, right? Aye. Alhoon book. I mean, it could be any of those books, Horne. Fail books are not necessarily my area of expertise. I used to occasionally run into, I mean in my trade you run into a lot of the same people at conventions, museums, dig sites, etc. There was this book collector, nuts guy, but I learned a bit from him. We could ask him if he's alive and I know where he is, which I don't.

But those are the only fell books I know. Honestly, if your old man was fucking around with those books, like that's some dark shit horns. Like I'm talking bad stuff. If he's fucking around with those books, I can't even imagine what would have happened. I look up at my mother. I killed her. No, Lass. You were a babe. You can kill anything.

I was the bad stuff that happened. Oh, no, no. I don't mean that. No, no, no. No, big leaf. No, no. I mean, like, if he's going into that kind of thing, his mind's getting twisted and corrupted the whole way fucking down.

But that was me, right? I'm from the story. The magics your father dealt with. They suffused every part of his life, hurt every person he knew, including your mother, including you. Your collateral damage for his selfish bullshit. He didn't choose me. He did the least choosing me he could.

He is honorable. No, Aunts. He's not. If he wasn't, he would have killed me. No. He... Thudu sighs. He wanted to.

I was cast out when I forced him not to. Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend. He doesn't look like your typical pastor.

I also don't know if he could. Sometimes with this fell shit like those books man, he could have tried and would have backfired or... Tiffany, your father was a bad man before whatever happened to him. And it is a terrible,

terrible thing that this fate falls upon you. But you must... She puts a hand... she can't really reach up to your shoulder, but she puts a hand on your arm in a comforting manner. But you must pick up the mantle and succeed where he failed. Not following his path, that's where he failed. Where is he? The last I had heard is he traveled to Fairburn Point with you and with Sir Hector. The last we heard was the note dismissing us all. But I stayed and kept what staff I could in the hopes that ye might return one day, and

then, well, you might help House Grace one day rise from the ashes. I feel the spear in my hand. Well, you're all hired again. There we go. Everyone's hired again, and you can all eat in the breakfast nook, and you can stay in my room if you want, and you can stay in dad's room if you want,

and everyone's allowed, okay, not everyone's allowed with the weapons up, but I'm allowed to go in every room. And everyone's allowed, okay, not everyone's allowed with the weapons up, but, um, um, I, I'm allowed to go in every room. And- Yes! And you all- Here we fucking go!

And you can all have a holiday, because you can come back, but I have to go, and we have to go, and I'll see you back here, okay? But before we leave, probably something we have to take care of here first. Um, Dudu, you only blue paint. I can have some found for you. Thank you, that'd be most appreciated. Before you leave, my lady, I must say there is still secrets about the grounds. Your father, he had some hidden space here

where he keeps the book, presumably keeps his not insubstantial treasury and also. I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. I did think that maybe the treasury will be helpful for our quest. The ancestral crypt. Well, if I'm an ancestor,

then we'll be able to find it, right? I mean you're holding the fucking spear, mate. I know you did not have the best relationship with him at the best of times, but is there anything you can remember? I was not here for a large portion of what happened, and for that I apologize. I think back to the most wrathful my father ever was about me going into an area. When was worse than when I tried to get into the weapons room? His study. His personal bedroom.

The rookery. I don't want you sending a message. The servants quarters. What if you look at the birds and they get scared? Jackson, would you like to make the list actually? So give me the map of the manor. I'll tell you where you were allowed to go It's so funny every room, but your own and the kitchen

So you could have gone into the sun room might allow that the atrium the main hall portrait room is sort of shaky, but You're allowed there the living room Probably not the formal dining hall The breakfast more the formal dining were like dignitaries and fellow nobles. The breakfast nook. You probably wouldn't be allowed in the trophy room. You wouldn't be allowed in the breakfast nook, sorry.

You could go in the carriage house and the stables. I don't mind about that. Probably wouldn't let you in the observatory. Um, and then. There's the grounds as well. I'd let you wander the garden, then you're out from underfoot. That's good. I'm just having a look at the playroom? No, the playroom's where we've got the billiards table, that's where we've got darts.

Again, if I've got dignitaries visiting or fellow nobles and I need to entertain... Are there other portraits of Sir Grace except for the big one? No, there's just the eight portraits, only one of which is of Sir Grace, and there's very clearly space. Oh, would there be space for more? There'd be space for more, yeah. Of course.

So there's no other, like, in other rooms, just smaller portraits of his face or like busts and shit? No. I've had a look at the map, and I am aware of all the rooms in the house. There's not a wing I wasn't allowed into. There's a basement and a upper floor, and then there's the grounds themselves. If you want I can show you that. I just want to know if there's any wings that I've just never been allowed into. You know as well that there are lots of hidden and secreted passages. Your dad preferred

that servants were seen and not heard. And so any place that a servant would need to go has a secret door to any other place that a servant would need to go has a secret door to any other place that a servant would need to go so that you didn't need to see them. So this is the grounds. There's the path that you came up. There's the castle itself. And then behind the castle there's the pond, hedge maze, a garden here with two statues. And then- There would also be a sort of training area in the garden too. Oh yes. Sorry, I completely forgot to add that. Yes. There's the basement and then second

floor if you'd like to look at that as well. But there's not much there other than servants' quarters. I'm just trying to figure out if there's any entire wings or sections of the house that I wouldn't have. There'd be no sections of the wings or anything like that. I know the existence of every room I was banned from. Okay. Well, you know what? No. We are going to go into every room in the whole house. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. We go into every single room. Absolutely. So you, um, just curiosity when you go in the room and you're feeling a grief about situation that you find yourself in, would you like to break something because I have heard from sources very to me, that sometimes breaking something feels really fucking good. Um, I guess I might be allowed?

So right next to the portrait room is the trophy room. Because I was just thinking, I've got a very big sword and you just got a brand new spear with your fucking family name on it I march into the trophy room. What's important? Please. Would you like to describe a truck? Whereas the armory would be a collection of artifacts. This would be obviously a collection of trophies. There would be Dragon skulls there would be like sort of like You know what first item dragon skull. Yeah immediately as soon as you step in Probably be very good mounted on the maybe on the ceiling on yeah string that kind of thing clearly

He's proud of it. Yes, is that is what I don't want to break anything important. Oh in this room Tones I'm gonna level with you about what I've learned recently coming coming here about your dad and your life. Nothing in this room is important. It makes a clear hole in the skull. It sounds like to me the only thing of importance that your father ever made is you. Cinder. I make that scull into dust. You. Oh, hang on. I put the cat down. I pass the cat over to Pop. I put that cat on my straw hat. You with cinder slash stab smash.

You act like a pinata. You break the skull apart. Next item. Smash you acts like a pinata Next item a beautiful like stained glass portrait of Sir grace Possibly crafted by the gnomes in Zemmijada in thanks for vanquishing some great evil So based on the texture of that glass horns, that's really fucking expensive I'm actually be Sir Grace shaking hands with a gnome. With the president of gnome.

What I like is that in the rendering, they've made the gnome a bit taller. They're the same size somehow, and there'd be a big love heart in between the two of them. I put my fist through my dad's head. I've never seen him smile that much in real life. Yes!

Woo! Yes! Come and pull us up. Yes! Woo! Yes! Yes! You destroy the painting, you knock it down off its little plinth or whatever, and you start stomping on it. Next item. I would say a gigantic urn,

possibly looted from somewhere in the dry steps. It's got a little name on it that says Necro Wizard Number Six. I pick it up and I throw it toward Pop. It smashes a corpse. Fuck. I've got a cat on my head. As it comes towards me I just swing Holy Avenger and cut it in half.

The second Holy Avenger touches the corpse, it turns to ash. Ah! Hahahaha! Fuck. Is he alive? Oh my god! Hahahaha! Honestly, you probably put him out of his misery. Just for the best. He was playing the long game with the long game.

Oh! I think that geezer was alive. If I stay in House Grace for long enough, maybe I can finally hold Sindar! Nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek-nyek I think an incredibly elaborate suit of armor, like clearly ornamental designed for marching in parades. Possibly it would have the dainty slipper on the front. It would be very, like where's the suit of armor that you saw in the armory would be a practical suit designed for combat. This is designed for ceremony, but this is probably, I would say got like front and center,

the most prominence other than the dragon skull in the room. And it's covered in like, you know, details, stuff's dangling off it. It's very ostentatious. Harry! Tybalt! All of the staff who are currently still here are standing either in the doorway or just past the doorway watching, almost encouraging. You see Thudu is obviously still there, but then also Tybalt who has the bucket of paint and he's just waiting for when you need it. The cook Harry F and then the only other person, one of the coachmen Harry L is here.

That makes sense. It makes sense. Well, it makes sense Harry F Harry L. I can differentiate them somehow. Harry F is Harry fucking small and Harry L is the large, Harry large, he's an orc. Harry fucking small is so good. Ash, it's good to see you, my lady, Harry L says. It's so typical of Sir Grace to hire an orc to be not an inside servant, but an outside servant.

He's racist. Of course. Oh my God. That's a grace. An orc in the adventurer of adventurer's minds, that's the bad guy. If anyone would like to get a hammer, this is your room now too. With your encouraging, Tybalt puts the can down.

No, no, Tybalt comes to, I the can from tibbult and I hand him holy avenger Two hands might and it immediately falls He's holding the hill here, but the blade hits the ground. He cannot lift it Talk holes that oh, I will want this back He hesitates for a moment and then gingerly takes Torquoll. I take Holy Avenger back. How big is Holy Avenger? Fuck.

It's a great sword. It's like three times his height. What's cra- oh, he's a Hollywood. I thought he was- in my head, he's Alfred from Batman. Oh yeah, of course. I leave the- I go next door with the paint. Okay, cool. Oh, yeah, sorry. The people- I'm sorry, Tibbolt, Harry F, Of course I'd leave the I go next door with the paint. Okay. Oh Yes, sorry here the people I'm sorry tibalt Harry F

Harry L Thudu doesn't join but those three come in and they start smashing stuff. They reckon the trophy. Oh, I bring something out to To Thudu to smash She she shakes her shakes her head and her hand and says, Nah, nay lass, I'm all right, thank you. This, you need this. I resume smashing. I use cinder. I smash so much. I am crying!

There's a statue that matches almost exactly the painting There's a statue that matches almost exactly the painting of Sir Grace shaking hands with the blemished president. There's a big carved heart as part of it. You smash that to pieces. A beautiful model of the multiverse slowly spins on a pedestal. You destroy that.

I grab that and smash it onto my horns. Hell yes. A bronze cast of a pile of necro heads? You break that. Are there any other items that you'd like to name or describe? I think there would be, it's funny, a lot of these gifts probably would be from the gnomes. They seem like the gift giving types. But maybe, yeah, maybe like a statue, but then also like a statue of Sir Grace. like maybe a bronze statue somewhere in the corner. Maybe there would also be like a stuffed owl there in there in the corner in a very menacing

pose. Everything in here staged way more elaborately than- Absolutely. A hundred percent. The armory, it seems like you would get the sense, I think, that the trophy room was not updated after a certain point, but the armory still was. So Grace might have kept adventuring, but every item he got had less and less significance and was just thrown away in the armory.

Whereas the trophy room was probably from his earlier days adventuring, where every reward, everything he'd been gifted meant more. The gem of Necro Wizardry from his first defeat. I stomp on it. I don't really smash up the statue. Sorry, you wanted to do something, Pop? So while all the smashing is going on, I've gone into the portrait room and I'm going to paint as best as I can.

I have a question about hyper-focused. Triple your proficiency bars until the start of your next turn. Can I use that outside of combat? You can, but you're not proficient with painters supplies. No, no. It was more, I was going to ask what's the, um, what would be the skill that would be good for painting? It would be proficient with paint painters supplies, proficiency with that kit. I will let you spend that card to just gain proficiency temporarily with painters supplies. Then I will do that.

You do your best. Oh, what's your proficiency bonus? It's not low. It's four and then that'd be plus your charisma. Well, you get four. The funny part is if anything requires me to use my charisma, that's bad. No Riz. What are you trying to paint?

I'm trying to paint in the blank, because there's a blank canvas section where a baby would go. A baby Tiffany, to the best of my ability, and also a big dick on Sir Grace's head. So, would Sir Grace have, cause when you first said like a paint brush and paint, they were kind of thinking, oh, like you're painting a house. Yeah, that's fine. I'm just like trying to colour in the canvas gap to be like a blue bundle, to be like, that's Tiffany. Okay.

And then the cock is just big. So I can paint that's Tiffany. And then the cock is just big. So I can paint that with whatever. It is beyond legible. It is as in, it's not just legible. It is to a level of quality. It's not the Sistine Chapel. No, but it'll do. Yeah, but it's nice.

You can tell what it's meant to be. The thing when I was studying archeology at university, you have to study you have to, you have to study fine art. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I'm saying it's beyond just like acceptable. It looks a little nice.

Oh, I've done a pretty good job. You did a decent job. Yeah. Bob, you've done a beautiful job of this. It's so my best work. I've been drawing dicks on things for years. Tiffany, you continue until you've smashed basically everything except that statue. We've all smashed what we can.

The trophy room is a mess. I am wheezing. Everyone is. That fucking rules! What? Harry F, my boy. Harry F is, there's like little pieces of fine like plates and stuff like that that once bore so great his visage and he's just bringing his little walking frame down on

them again and again and again, crunching them up. He's taken the- he had little tennis balls on the end, he's popped those off so he can really get into it. That's awesome. Anyone can have anything in here and no one has to clean it. And you can come back and smash up whatever you want at any time, even if it's something from outside. Conceited fucking dick! Ha ha!

I need a smoke! Where is the tunnels? I know there are tunnels. I come back into the trophy room at this point and I give the blue paint back to Tibo. Thank you. Does he give me back the knife? He hands you back the knife. That's good. Cause I was wondering if he was going to do that or if he's like loyalty to the house would override that. And I tell you the dagger back and I put it back in my belt. As he's handing you back the dagger, Tibolt turns to you

and says, my lady, we, we are aware there is a, well, there are many secrets to the house, but the greatest of them all is where the family crypt and presumably treasury are. He never looked? Well, I... It's okay if you did! I looked! I searched even before he left! I love the idea that T-Balt has done a couple of bad things

But he can't ever admit to them. Yeah, and that harryf was there every time and so we'll just admit to all of us Yeah, grace miss any of our EF shenanigans Okay, um any clues I'm sorry I couldn't find anything, but I- I mean, I mostly just tore up lawn.
