I just physicallyordered the other torch, in order that’ll be fixed soon. Considering often you just received to do it your self.Anyway, welcome again. In an effort to proceed from the place we left off for tonight’s episode of imperative position,Vox Machina, our heroic players and characters, in combating their way throughout the land of Tal’Doreiagainst the Chrome Conclave, a gathering of ancient chromatic dragons which have torn thecurrent civilization asunder. They’ve gathered a number of artifacts of ancient referred to as the Vestiges ofDivergence and lately made allies with the sort of dragons, Raishan, the golf green dragon of theconclave, it sounds as if eager about revolting in opposition to the conclave’s leader, Thordak the CinderKing.A tentative alliance has been forged and to show each the stalwartness of that alliance, aswell as to further your agenda against the conclave, you all traveled again to Wildemount, tothe ruins of Draconia. With the help of the Ravenites you set a lure for Vorugal, the FrigidDoom. You summoned, utilising your single Gate scroll, from the Abyss, Yenk the Goristro, a satisfactory,strong siege demon and induced it to battle with the white dragon. Partway by way of, the encountergot more excessive, you all rushed into the fray. Acquired the crap kicked out of you in numerous instances butwhen all was said and finished, with the aid of Raishan, you felled Vorugal.The ultimate shot beinglanded by Vex’ahlia herself. LAURA: thank you. MATT: You guys have now taken a second. You’vediscussed with Raishan to satisfy back in Whitestone, after which she reverted form and vanished. Andyou’ve now begun to gather your spoils and accumulate what that you could from the battlefield at this moment.So that is where we decide on up this week. What would you love to do? LIAM: Man, we’ve got gotta find Larkin. LAURA: Did you’ve dragon bits you desired togather? MARISHA: I did, very so much so. TALIESIN: and a few Yenk, I imagine. MARISHA: a bit bit of Yenk, a little bit ofdragon. LAURA: I acquired a little bit Yenk bloodalready. MATT: you probably did. LIAM: Brazen, guys. MATT: All proper, so, you are heading to the dragonor Yenk first? MARISHA: Dragon. MATT: k, so that you head to the dragon. K. So that you guys head over there. You now seepartially elements of the wall that had crumbled in on Vorugal’s physique. You see now, rising fromthe core of the scales in the chest as it lays on its again, slain, its throat torn out byRaishan, a piercing tree begins to burrow its method through the torso of the dragon and bloomoutwards.Ready for that system to conclude, you convey out your carving dagger and– MARISHA: I patiently watch for the tree. MATT: ok. MARISHA: i do not need to interrupt. That’s rude. MATT: It grows pretty fast as a part of theenchantment of Fenthras. So, that temporary pause accomplished, you go to city with your blade on thedragon’s corpse. Let’s go ahead and make a verify on this. This is able to be– MARISHA: Nature, proper? MATT: Yeah.MARISHA: With talents. Oh, that is good. 28. MATT: 28, okay. It is going to take you the simpler part ofabout an hour to relatively harvest the whole thing you need from this that is usable, and that is with aidfrom Scanlan, given that it’s a very significant dragon, and that’s a horny small blade. So that you start thatprocess. LAURA: i can support. I want to go up and carve abear onto the tree developing out of Vorugal. TALIESIN: I may just lend my reduce-dragon-like-butterblade to this entire system. MATT: okay. SAM: can i just pull off a scale? A single scale.Is that really rough to do? MATT: Make a force assess.SAM: Two. MATT: You spend the next minute and a half of going(grunting sounds). It is not budging. SAM: it is really three. MATT: Oh, the next minute and 20 seconds going(grunting sounds). SAM: best. MATT: You do manipulate to determined a couple loose scaleson the ground local after you’ve entirely embarrassed your self. SAM: i’ll clutch one and then i will instantly startyelling for Tooma. (yelling) Tooma! MATT: okay, whilst he is doing that, what are youguys doing? TRAVIS: correct, so the dragon’s acquired booty, right? LAURA: Yeah, like loads. TRAVIS: So I look over and so they’re engaged on thedragon bits. Everything’s cool? Yenk is like melting into the snow, right, since he’s like ahell fiend or anything? MATT: Yeah. TRAVIS: I take off running towards the lair. LAURA: Grog! SAM: i will go together with. MATT: Grog’s already run off. Scanlan’sfollowing. SAM: i’ll Polymorph into an eagle. LAURA: Fucking fuck! Do you guys have this? MARISHA: Yeah. LAURA: provide me a claw. I desire a claw to put on aroundmy neck. MARISHA: you’re going to be like Mr.T. LAURA: i need anything to put on around my neck.Fucking whatever, all proper! TALIESIN: we are going to to find anything. LAURA: i will take off on the broom after Grog. LIAM: simply scooping up Pike into just a little of a piggyback experience and carrying her inside and we will rest. MATT: k. She’s fully harm, but you stillhave the entrance to the mansion. Yeah, so that you guys pull into there to leisure for the moment. WhileGrog, as you’re strolling, this eagle comes as much as your aspect, is gaining on you a little. As you comeover the top of this one little ridge discipline, as the ravine begins to widen and head closer to the lairportion that Vorugal was using, you see before you a gaggle of about 22 or so armored dragonborn thatare currently jogging up the ramp for your path.As soon as you go over the top theycome to a slower point, with their weapons out, and you see certainly one of them lift its hand. Yourecognize Skork, who you met prior, who goes, "we’ve come to aid you!" TAVIS: i’m still raging utilising persistent Rage andI factor over my shoulder and yell, Dragon that approach! And i preserve walking prior them. MATT: All proper! They opt for up their weapons and keeprunning past you as you [whoosh] via them, the eagle following carefully after.SAM: Is Tooma with them? MATT: Tooma shouldn’t be with them, no. LAURA: I adopted too. I’m following as well. MATT: Yeah, you coast up at the back of, you begincatching as much as Grog and the wayward eagle. You’re the quickest of the whole lot proper now. SAM: i’m following him. MATT: So you’re staying again at equal velocity. K.As you guys start carving, you begin hearing the footsteps coming near of numerous dragonborn. Therest of you guys proceed down the path. You see the icy throne, if you are going to, of the place Vorugal hadplaced as the new lair on this northern element of the ravine. You guys which might be staying behind, asyou’re carving your method into the dragon, abruptly you hear the footsteps and a bunch of thesedragonborn, armored, with scavenged pieces, leather disguise with metallic bits of armor.Weapons,definitely no longer of the highest degree from what which you can tell, though some are ornate and seeminglyunused, probably scavenged from the fall of Draconia. They method and sluggish their jog and look overat the destroyed corpse of the dragon. MARISHA: hi. TALIESIN: matters went good. MARISHA: Man, how lengthy of a jog is that? MATT: they all look burdened at each and every other andstart speakme to each other in a language you do not comprehend.MARISHA: Man, ooh, Vex is not here. TALIESIN: No. All excellent. Excellent. TRAVIS: Fuck. MATT: They nod and Skork offers a respectful nodand they all technique the dragon’s corpse and begin hacking into it. MARISHA: Oh no, wait, no. Keep on. TALIESIN: No. I’m going to point at all– you all,sun goes down, every person drink again there. Return. Everything’s first-rate. MATT: Skork takes two steps forward and goes, "Iunderstand this converse." TALIESIN: Oh, why failed to you say whatever? You’restanding there making us very frightened. MATT: (disgruntled grunt) "look. We have to cometo help you within the fight as promised. You could have "apparently finished good without our presence. So let’sall harvest the makes use of of what stays of this beast." TALIESIN: i am reasonable with that, all proper.Harvestgently. We’re looking to preserve as so much of it– MARISHA: yes, i’m working proper right here on this areaand Vex wants a claw. MATT: "Take what you wish. We are interestedin disguise and meat." TALIESIN: And we’re occupied with scale, teeth,and claw, and maybe some eyeballs, in order that works out very good. MARISHA: And blood. MATT: "possibly some enamel and claws as well. Weshall alternate." (speaks Draconic) All of them rush up and start hacking into the soft parts of theunderbelly, the place it is been exposed from the place you guys have left colossal wounds and such and basicallystart to carve big bits of dragon meat off the physique.TALIESIN: intellect the tree. Intellect the tree. MATT: one in all them was going for the tree and stopslike– and then appears very stressed that the tree wasn’t piercing via the dragon, however used to be rootedinside of it. All of them take a moment to start carving round it. It’s a very awkward. They don’tknow what the hell happened and it looks very strange from an outsider’s viewpoint, butthey’re looking to regulate best they can. TRAVIS: New town rectangular can be built round it. MATT: meanwhile, the three of you guys coastdown closer to the lair. That you would be able to nonetheless see all the ice spires which can be jutting out from portions ofthe snow, the more than a few dragonborn corpses nonetheless adorning a number of the spires.As you start toapproach the throne of Vorugal, you will discover there may be a gaggle of about 15 or so dragonborncurrently there which are establishing to climb up and get to that component to investigate cross-check. You see, first,before any person else does, Vex, that certainly one of them seems to be Tooma, who is running with thisgnarled employees that she continues to her part. They usually’re all drawing near and mountain climbing up the sidesof the throne to get to the top. LAURA: I shout out, don’t go up there! MATT: You shout that and there is a second ofpause. Then, all of them turn and seem in your direction. LAURA: I fly down practically Tooma and say quietly,Thordak has means of seeing by way of the stones up there. In the event you go up high, it’s feasible he’ll beable to understand that Vorugal has fallen. He might already understand. MATT: "this is just right to know." (speaks Draconic)And the dragonborn around slowly pull backwards.You understand her announcing, "keep off. Phrases ofwarning." all of them pull again and collect round you, and stand, looking ahead to what this conversation isgoing to entail as Tooma steps ahead to you. "So "am I to appreciate, then, that the dragon hasfallen?" LAURA: (laughing) yes. SAM: i will drop my type and throw the size infront of her. It is performed. There may be your fucking dragon. MATT: She appears over on the rest of the men and women whoare all watching closer to her for affirmation.She goes, "You got here to us with phrases. You stood behindthem. You displayed honor and honesty, matters we "in finding infrequent in provide outside of our persons. Us, theRavenites, survivors of chain and frost, are now "truly free. We thanks." LAURA: And we thanks. SAM: however we are going to want whatever greater than justthanks. We have two requests to make of you. One, this is not the final battle. There will probably be more,and in contrast to this fight, we’d expect your help within the subsequent one. Is that anything that you could guaranteeus? MATT: "i’m curious as to what you require fromus." SAM: We don’t know yet, however you have many men, andthey seem like just right fighters, so we could call upon you at some point. MATT: "in opposition to what foe?" LAURA: Thordak the ancient. He was once commander ofall of those dragons. MATT: You see her face immediately goes from thatcalm, welcoming, elated expression she had a moment ago to this guarded, retracted positionwhere she shifts her weight onto the again leg and– LAURA: you aren’t beholden to us.We ask this ofyour own free will. All of Tal’Dorei is at danger. MATT: "we are not an military. We desire to support in <i>this</i>combat, for we had a stake in it, each of us. This "used to be a mutual arrangement. You owe us nothing. Weowe you nothing. However we’re not in a position to continue "the combat right away with a more harmful foethan this one." SAM: with a bit of luck, it will not be immediately. And mightI remind you that you simply did <i>now not</i> help us in this fight. We did all of it by way of ourselves. MATT: "Who do you believe arranged, through previousconversation, to ship the dragon your means into the "trap that you just had sprung? At my advice of theplace of correct, and most traditional and worthy "circumstances?" LAURA: it can be real, Scanlan, they did support lots inthat regard. MATT: "We would possibly not have the might to conclude thedragon–" SAM: You advised us that you would have men there tohelp us, and there was once nothing.We just about died. MATT: "We despatched men your manner!" SAM: You knew when the combat used to be. MATT: "We knew when to begin the fight, but we donot have means of visiting as rapid as a dragon!" TRAVIS: i’m strolling round like a cracked-out PCPaddict within the heritage. Simply looking on the ground for booty, that’s all. MATT: belief determine. TRAVIS: One. (laughter) MATT: there’s snow and ice and it can be pissing youoff! TRAVIS: i am doing the dog thing. MATT: extra snow. Increasingly snow. In the middleof this conversation, some of it starts spattering the aspect of Vex.You are like, "discontinue it!" Angrilyrage-looting nothing. (laughs) LAURA: Draconia has had a historical past of separatingitself from the relaxation of Tal’Dorei. That is an opportunity for <i>you</i> to welcome othercommunities, to turn out to be a part of the rest of the sector. MATT: "you might be right. [no audio] And from this, I feel wecould try to rebuild, a new dwelling for the "dragonborn of Wildemount. Be taught from the mistakesof our predecessors and our oppressors.We aren’t any "majestic mage nation in any respect, but we canlearn." LAURA: you’re strong. MAT: "<i>They</i> are robust. My time is close to up. Butwhat time i have left, I entirely intend to be certain "that there’s a future for my folks. For theRavenites." SAM: yet another request, earlier than we go.When we’relong long gone, which you could believe free to inspect this hill the place the dragon slept, and be very careful indisarming any traps that you simply might in finding there. I might ask you one favor for us: we misplaced a friendin this combat, a dragonborn. He is buried close here. We’ll let you know the place. We want a propertomb for him on this hill, where the dragon slept. Could you construct a statue, a great statue, ahandsome statue of Tiberius Stormwind, and bury him beneath it.And on the pedestal, could youplease write, "I inspire peace." MATT: She looks over at one of the crucial nearbydragonborn. "that is Korsa. He is our best "stonesmith. I will see to it that it is completed." SAM: teach your men and women of him, your offspring,that he used to be a courageous dragonborn that wanted to unify all your peoples. MATT: "This will also be achieved. (sighs) This moundrepresents the spoils of the remains of Draconia "the dragon greedily stole, hoarded, and pressured usto acquire on the base of its icy seat. This may occasionally "be the beginning of our new nation, and with this,we will be able to be certain this statue comes to bear." SAM: good luck. TRAVIS: where the fuck is it?! That is all you hearme say. (laughter) SAM: What are you looking for? TRAVIS: help me appear! SAM: For what? What are we watching for? TRAVIS: simply dig! (laughter) TRAVIS: can i make another notion assess,please? MATT: No.TRAVIS: No?! MATT: that you could, Scanlan. SAM: What am I watching for? Grog, what am Ilooking for? TRAVIS: We’re watching for that booty. SAM: Booty? Simply dragon booty? It will be upwhere the dragon sleeps, now not down right here. LAURA: there’s some beneath the ice right right here. SAM: All right, i will peer down into the icebelow us with my 21 perception. MATT: k. You glance down, and after pushingsome of the snow out of the way in which, it can be potent that Grog did not see this at all, but not fairly whenyou believe about it. Encased in this pedestal that Vorugal had taken as a perch, under multiplefeet of thick, locked ice, you see an extremely good amount of hoarded gold, silver, platinumglittering as bits of light wreck by way of the overhead clouds, because the sleet is still rainingdown in places. Bits of it gleam and shift and shimmer. You can find finely crafted knick-knacksand statues and gems and antiqued metals all buried deep under this platform.It appears to bepieces of ornate armor and weaponry, all different types of a random assortment of gadgets which can be lockedbeneath feet of ice, correct there before you. SAM: Nothing there, Grog. Sorry. TRAVIS: No! It needs to be right here someplace! SAM: (whispering) just appear right there, pal. TRAVIS: What? SAM: (whispering) right there. TRAVIS: the place? What? SAM: he’s my BFF. TRAVIS: I see it? MATT: Oh yeah, once he facets it out, youimmediately clarify and the crimson haze that was masking your eyes abruptly fades and you seeshiny. TRAVIS: Can i use the siege component to theTitanstone Knuckles and begin smacking the shit out of this ice seeking to get down there? MATT: sure, which you could. TRAVIS: similar to (smashing noises). MATT: Yeah. (laughs) TRAVIS: I deal double harm against objects orstructures. MATT: Yeah, and as you begin, every punch, the ice(splintering noise) extra cracks to spider out.An terrific feat of strength and also you cansee the dragonborn take a number of steps back at this view, and Tooma is close to intrigued at this point,staring with this grin across her face as this symbolic destruction of what represented Vorugal’slording over their complete life is being ripped aside by way of this half of-colossal madman. Just a few morepunches via and a whole element slides off and also you have to move out of the way. You knock itaside together with your fist and keep punching by means of and ultimately you get about, over the subsequent ten or 15minutes, breaking by way of enough of the ice that you just begin hitting (clanging), establishing to hit theactual outskirts of this tremendous pile of gold portions. LAURA: Wait, Grog. Can i investigate for any traps or isit like thoroughly nice? On the grounds that i’ve been right here before and it’s no longer high-quality.TRAVIS: I rather wouldn’t intellect. LAURA: Investigation? 18? MATT: okay, glancing about high-quality you can in thevicinity, you do not see any traps. LAURA: What about the gem stones? These are uphigh. I’m staying away from those. SAM: We’re external the perimeter of the gemstonesor the the important element of the lair, right? MATT: Yeah, the orbs are embedded within the toprestful subject. The actual hoard is hidden, locked below the ice on the base of this largeplatform, so you are virtually punching by means of the bottom portion. Much like any sandcastle, thefurther you go, the much less structural integrity it has. You’re opening to make headway intoreleasing and finding access to one of the crucial horde your self. TRAVIS: we’d like warmth, and more than my wee urinecan generate. SAM: i can provide us somewhat bit of fireplace? TRAVIS: Yeah, I mean, or get Keyleth over here. LAURA: Do you might have dragon’s breath? MATT: She elements to two of them and brings themover and two of the dragonborn step ahead and liberate this torrent of flame into the field thatyou’ve already carved out.SAM: Ooh, they are able to try this? MATT: Yeah, it only lasts a number of seconds and itcauses a part of it to soften again, however it’s nonetheless particularly powerful ice and it didn’t have asmuch of an influence as you hoped it would’ve. This is very, very sturdy white dragon-conjured,ice-included walls. LAURA: just hold on punching it, Grog. TRAVIS: quite? LAURA: just punch it. You are doing a little gooddamage. TRAVIS: however no fireballs? SAM: i have a fireball. I’m going to send a fireball overthere.Again up a little bit bit. TRAVIS: Why? What if I want to be shut? SAM: good, you can get burned. LIAM: you’re way down with the aid of one zero one hit points, though. TRAVIS: i do know. Yeah, i’m nonetheless up within the threedigits. Let’s make it wonderful. SAM: i am now not going to burn you, Grog. Just taketen ft. TRAVIS: All correct, all proper! Ten ft! SAM: All proper, i will send a wand of fireballsdown. I have no idea, is that magic definitely scorching when it goes off? MATT: Yeah, it is sizzling and it’s an explosion. It’snot just fireplace.It can be an explosion. So it detonates from the within of that small concave direction that youhad punched through and because it hits and detonates you will find the ice extra crack. The ice beginsto crack even extra and parts of it, you see a little of snow financial institution that had gathered on the topshakes free and off the side, revealing one of the crucial higher platform. SAM: we don’t want to make too much of adisturbance here. LAURA: No, we do not. SAM: Let’s just take some stuff on the outside. TRAVIS: Is there any free platinum or gold orlittle bits i will start to put in my palms? MATT: Yeah, that you could begin scooping bits. LAURA: You would need to ask Tooma if she has aproblem with you taking all of Draconia’s gold. TRAVIS: You saw what his face did, failed to you?Tooma, we are about to unsheathe and divulge a best fortune, of which we have very littleinterest for the reason that truthfully it weighs us down.We’re, like, a lot loaded already. Nonetheless, it isa way of life to take little bits right here and there as keepsakes. MATT: "The spoils here had been largely accumulated fromthe wreckage of our captors and much of the gold "here was earned via our blood and turmoil.Nonetheless, we have been in a position to free ourselves and have "entry to this fortune a quality deal due to youraid. We are greater than willing to divide this "between your folks and ours." TRAVIS: That sounds most generous. Shall we lookfor chiefly exciting little bits, or just grab the platinum? SAM: simply seize some thing’s closest and go away.TRAVIS: Are there any intriguing-watching weaponsor distinct items which might be out of the traditional? MATT: Make an investigation examine. LAURA: Any watching-magically thingies? MATT: Make an investigation examine. TRAVIS: sure! Minus two. 17. SAM: i will seem for weapons of any kind. Ooh, 30.Investigation, correct? MATT: Yeah. LAURA: sixteen. MATT: (laughing) Do you need to add your bardicinspiration cube to that to be a dick? LAURA: encourage me! SAM: Did you suck or whatever? LAURA: Yeah, I only received sixteen. SAM: k, i will add my bardic concept. Iwill sing to her. (singing) something in the way in which I wink, conjures up you like no different gnome can.Something makes you stop and believe, how did he get so good-looking? How did he get so suave? LAURA: Six additional points, so 22. MATT: All proper, there you go. Now critical function owes a royalty to theBeatles. All correct, so, Grog, you find a painted gold war masks that appears quite cool and nastywith the minimize jaw.You’re like, yes and that you could put it on. TRAVIS: Yep, correctly, I lick it realizing that it’scold and that i stick it to my face. MATT: okay. Your tongue sticks to the mask. TRAVIS: Fuck! And that i rip it off. MATT: You rip it off, all correct. You’re taking a pointof injury. And your tongue is pounding with agony (throbbing) as the highest layer of dermis has been tornoff your tongue. However the masks is still yours. You do additionally find a particularly wonderful black stone. It’sreally good reduce and it’s about that gigantic and it can be really beautiful and dark and tremendous.TRAVIS: i love stones. I’m a fucking fan. MATT: And a entire shitton of gold and platinum.You, watching through, you find a beautiful reddish ruby gem that has this quite gold refraction inthe center of it that is moderately symmetrical, it looks otherworldly almost. It can be gorgeous. You seedeeper within the genuine hoard a ship’s mast that was plated with gold that has been jammed in thecenter of the hoard, wreckage that was once dragged here and incorporated within the hoard.You do additionally see,amongst one of the most gold, a small vial with liquid that’s unaffected with the aid of the freezing temperaturesaround it. LAURA: What color is the liquid? MATT: The liquid is– let me appear that up. TRAVIS: that is my favourite part, getting newshit. MATT: It is sort of a thick syrupy metallic, like aliquid iron, a reddish metal tint to it. TRAVIS: I had an thought until reddish, however I don’tknow anymore. MATT: and you discover a pair of shoes that are madefrom a very thick, dark brown disguise. LAURA: an additional boots of haste! For certain! TRAVIS: they’re most likely like elephant strengthboots.LAURA: certainly boots of haste! Pair of bootsout of brown leather, you said? MATT: Yeah, a dark brown leather, no longer veryelaborate in their design, however they may be good made and seemingly have braved the cold climate wellenough.

MATT: You to find amongst this a platinum braceletset with a attractive sapphire that appears like it’s most likely valued at fairly a little bit. You also find anotherunbroken vial amongst a sequence of other vials that did wreck in the procedure of being hoarded right here,the liquid spilled out.There’s one unbroken vial. This one is a yellowish fluid with black swirlsthat shift on their possess inside the vial’s contents. As you shake it, you see they move at afaster pace after which sluggish down in a reverse course. It can be an extraordinarily exciting pattern. TALIESIN: Lava lamp. MATT: style of.

You find a gold and platinumband that’s two separate bands which are woven together like a braid in a band. SAM: Like a back braid? MATT: form of. Rather then that, it appears first-class.There isn’t any different defining markings on it. Looks like it would be worth quite just a little. You do, additionally,as you rolled ridiculously excessive, in pulling the ring out and the vial, you glance over and ahandle is embedded in a enormous part of the gold.You go and grab it and it can be simply a sexy bighandle whenever you get your gnomish hand on it. You pull and you pull forth a very lovely platinumgreatsword. It has a series of small symbols carved alongside the base of the blade on each side.The control comes a gradual upward curve. It looks beautiful, ornamental, like some thing you’ll see ina temple as a part of a centerpiece. But it surely’s weighted appropriately for a greatsword and is some distance toobig for you to ever in all probability muster in combat.SAM: I are not able to use this, so i’m going to just depart it.

TALIESIN: i am so hoping it talks to you now, I’mso hoping it starts talking to you. TRAVIS: ‘Tis clean. SAM: ‘Tis easy? TRAVIS: sure. SAM: You hold it, I are not able to keep it, it’s too heavy.It weighs as a lot as I do. LAURA: How’s it think, Grog? TRAVIS: looks like cash, cash, cash. LAURA: speakme of cash, cash, cash.

This isgoing to push your bag of keeping.TRAVIS: that’s why I mentioned we cannot take thatmuch. LAURA: but if it’s platinum, it will aid. MARISHA: more bang for our buck. SAM: What do we lose from the bag of conserving? TRAVIS: i am very emotional about some of this.

We do not have got to tell the others about this LAURA: they don’t ought to comprehend. No! SAM: We would go to a heat place, the three of us,and live out the relaxation of our days. TRAVIS: we are going to construct a financial institution. It would just be us. SAM: they’ll by no means find us. We’ve got the dust ofTracelessness. LAURA: i am tempted. That is mighty. TRAVIS: right. We kill Vex after the primary month. LAURA: Wait, i will be able to hear you. TRAVIS: I was joking. SAM: We might want her to restart civilization. TRAVIS: true, real. LAURA: Oh, you realize what? Let’s return. You lostme. I am out.(laughter) LIAM: in the meantime, for the last twenty minutes, I’vebeen combing blood out of Pike’s hair, and we now have been having god talk, and as I put little enjoyable bunsin Pike’s hair I say, ", sometimes I suppose "like she is correct there with me. I ask questionsand i know the solutions, however as a rule I "have no idea anything. Does the stability evershift?"

(laughter) SAM: Ten dragon scales, the top.MATT: All proper, come again to you guys. So Vorugalis butchered within the middle of the snow right here. Surprisingly, as you to carve, the air, asfreezing as it’s, precise contact on the skin of Vorugal is less warm, and there is a few moments whereyour fingers start to adhere to the cold and also you ought to pull back a bit. But you do manipulate tocarve from the conceal, if that you would be able to lift it accurately, about a hundred and fifty kilos of dragon disguise. MARISHA: Oh jeez. Oh boy. LAURA: How a lot? TALIESIN: 150 pounds. LAURA: We acquired forty kilos of black dragonhide in theBag of holding. MARISHA: well we now it seems that have one hundred fifty kilos.TALIESIN: we’re going to have to fill theWhitestone coffers with some of these things after we get again. SAM: Grog is dumping stuff out of our Bag ofHolding. TRAVIS: So one black studded dwarven armor swimsuit,since Pike’s the one person who wears full armor.

MATT: (speaks Draconic) a different dragonborn walksover and picks up the beef jerky strips, arms them to Tooma, and Tooma keeps looking at you all,chewing on one. LIAM: they may be ravenous. TRAVIS: these are tremendous recent. (laughter) TRAVIS: i am throwing out a greatsword andreplacing the platinum greatsword in its spot in order that should make enough weight out. Bye, blackstudded dwarven armor. That was once the first thing in the bag of maintaining. SAM: incidentally, excellent note-taking and keepingtrack of what is been within the bag of protecting. LAURA: Yeah, that’s excellent. MATT: well accomplished. TRAVIS: 1/2 of that physique section stuff got here out asgelatinous poo. MATT: Yeah, it can be the gamiest of gamey meat you’veever touched. TRAVIS: just strings of– You pull it up and yougot to wrap it up within the string and toss it. MATT: it’s why i like the phrase "slough." (disgusted groaning) MATT: You guys pull away parts of that, Kimahelping out where she can.The sweat beads on her forehead; even among the many bloodless exterior, she’s aworkhorse. You also manipulate to pry from Vorugal’s mouth 20 person dragon tooth that areharvestable external of the ones the opposite Ravenites take for themselves. You control to getsix dragon talons pulled from the whole body, and about– let’s have a look at, with all the destruction of theoutside, and there’s this creeping ice that is establishing to freeze the body from the within,publish-loss of life– the hide includes the scales, you have to pull off the scales and smash the disguise,and some other organs? You stated the eyes, you have been desirous about taking? MARISHA: Blood. Eyes. MATT: Do you have any further empty vials? TALIESIN: Empty vials? I’m out of vials. LAURA: Did you’re taking any medication potions? If youdid you’d have an empty treatment potion vial.TALIESIN: In theory then, i’ve three empty vialsbecause I did have three healing potions that I’ve used. MATT: we are going to say you go forward and recork threevials of white dragon blood. TALIESIN: thank you. MATT: whatever else? MARISHA: No. TALIESIN: i’ll go sit down down for a littlewhile, and breathe. MARISHA: Yeah, i’m going to go into the mansion aswell. MATT: k. So you guys go forward and join Vax andPike. Kima comes and joins you as well, to relaxation for a second, while the rest of the Ravenitesbegin tearing off pieces of Vorugal’s physique, leaving the ribcage, the backbone. They pull most ofthe organs out of it, but the tree itself is rooted into the ribcage and the roots attain downand burrow into the bottom underneath it.It is left this fairly interesting sculpture that they’vetorn the whole thing faraway from. At this factor now, the Ravenites have descended upon the internal of thehoard, and so they’re hacking away at bits of ice to open up extra of the distance underneath, whilst keeping avery careful eye to make sure the structure remains intact. You guys have gathered what youdecided to take from the hoard, and are doing what? TRAVIS: Scanlan.Vex. We must disable the orbs,right? LAURA: I don’t know how to. TRAVIS: simply beat the shit out of them. SAM: would not that alert Thordak? TRAVIS: we don’t want to taunt him first? LAURA: i’d instead him now not recognize, proper now, thatVorugal’s useless considering the fact that– SAM: He would instantly be aware of that we’re no longer in ourhome base, he could launch an assault on that location.LAURA: Yeah. Possibly let’s no longer do this just yet. TRAVIS: but what if he comes here? LAURA: good if he does, expectantly they’ll beinside their caves? I do not suppose he’ll depart Emon to return assess out what is going on on withVorugal, until he knows that Vorugal’s dead. TRAVIS: All proper. We could investigate in with theother contributors first, before we biggity-leap? LAURA: good, let’s go back to the mansion.Maybewe can smash it on the way in which out, if we think fundamental. TRAVIS: What about that significant golden mast? You thinkthere’s a golden ship beneath there? LAURA: What if there’s a skyship in right here? SAM: I count on it wouldn’t fly very well, but allright. LAURA: probably that is how the Ravenites can get toEmon, if they may be able to aid us? TRAVIS: It used to be product of gold, correct? MATT: Gold plating around it. There are portionsof it where one can find the wooden mast with huge bands of gold. LAURA: Did it look like airship or typical ship? MATT: It used to be hard to inform. From what you couldtell, it’s a mast. The airships you have got seen should not have masts, because they don’t use the wind. LAURA: Oh, right. MATT: So it was definitely a sea-faring ship, andwas torn asunder, from a high-quality distance and then dragged right here as part of the hoard by Vorugal. SAM: What are we going to do with a mast? LAURA: I have no proposal. Might be on the way out we cansee if it is uncovered any longer.SAM: we are going to stick a Google Maps pin here. We’llalways comprehend it’s here, seeing that after we come visit Tiberius’ grave, we are going to additionally depart some flowers andtake a mast with us. LAURA: they have been working on this for a whilenow, is it viable to wiggle my method in and examine out the mast now? MATT: definite, make an investigation determine. LAURA: 22. MATT: You push prior one of the most Ravenite staff,their shoulders don’t supply and you have got to squeeze by way of. As you get there, the upper part is stilllocked in ice, and the slash phase is locked in ice. For the way much they’ve carved via already,is the valuable component, however what you can find is a wood mast with enormous, thick bands of gold aroundit which are ornamental. You will find within them carvings and designs of a language you don’treally comprehend– sincerely, what languages have you learnt? LAURA: Elvish, original, Undercommon, Abyssal andDraconic. MATT: you don’t appreciate this language, however itappears to be decorative, and that whatever ship this belonged to was once a prized ship of both anavy or service provider fleet.Founded on one of the most marks on it, it looks love it was once grabbed and broken offa ship. Looking down under, there’s a component of a ship that’s underneath it as well. So much deeper,perhaps a different 25 ft of solid ice beneath you with the leisure of this hoard. There is a component to thisship that was once dragged right here by means of Vorugal. LAURA: that’s loopy. It can be a ship! I’m coming backout. SAM: All right. Let’s return to the essential groupand tell them what we have learned. MATT: As you’re hustling your method up the ravine tothe east, you pass with the aid of a quantity of Ravenites coming by using with massive sacks, and chunks of dragon meatdraped over them.You can find the meat itself is freezing the air and shoulders of those who arecarrying it. The essence of the dragon’s ice-developed kind is inflicting them to continuously shift itbecause it is commencing to stick to their armor, and you see icicles opening to kind on the outsideof these huge dragon-meat haunches that they are carrying. TRAVIS: when you dry-age meat like that, salt itfirst, then hold it. Just a professional tip.MATT: (speaking Draconic). Continues going for walks, doesn’tseem to realize you. TRAVIS: relatively bad sinus issues. MATT: finally you are making your means again toScanlan’s tremendous Mansion and accumulate the leisure of the party. Percy, Kima, Keyleth and Vax are allthere, resting and eagerly watching for your return. TALIESIN: I’ve acquired to try and repair my guns. MATT: okay, make some tinkering assessments. TALIESIN: is that this a misfire verify or a tinkeringcheck, when you consider that i’m not in combat? MATT: These are tinkering checks. TALIESIN: ok, so it is proficiency bonus, dex roll.Ooh, 28! MATT: that is your Animus? TALIESIN: Yep, that’s high-quality. MATT: I feel bad news was also? TALIESIN: Yup. 26. MATT: 26 is high-quality. You control to get unhealthy Newsfunctioning once more in the workshop beneath. And Retort was ok, correct? TALIESIN: Yeah, Retort’s first-rate. MATT: in order you all return and accumulate around– MARISHA: Keyleth has laid out the Vorgual spoilslike she bought back from a yard sale.MATT: Which, by the way, is a macabre view as youwalk in, and there is this smear of darkish pink dragon blood, and lengthy, haphazardly carved chunksof dragon cover, just about like the preset green garden rectangles that roll out and smeared across thecenter of the lobby. LAURA: I drop the Bag of Colding next to Keyleth. MARISHA: Grog, are you able to support me see how much we canshove in here? TRAVIS: Shit, yeah. MARISHA: right here, perhaps like a sleeping bag, and that i’llsit on it and that you could wrap it up? TRAVIS: Yeah, great deal. MARISHA: okay, we’ll do this. Attempt to shove asmuch as we will.(squishing) MATT: When it is sooner or later wound up, it is not going to fitwithin the Bag of Colding. The Bag of Colding is the dimensions of a relatively colossal satchel. The dragonhide, rolled up, is ready that massive around, what you managed to carve off. LAURA: Ah, shit. What can we do? LIAM: can we make Percy some dragonborn armorright now, someway, so he may also be all white, in every single place? TALIESIN: Wow, that may be a thing, wouldn’tit? TRAVIS: How much do you suppose that roll weighs? MATT: About a hundred and fifty kilos. LAURA: Oh jeez. We can’t lift that. TRAVIS: I might drag it at the back of me for a littlebit. LIAM: Scanlan, do you’ve got a room right here? SAM: A room? LIAM: For bloodless matters? You may have the whole thing right here,do you could have a cold room? SAM: certain, within the kitchen there’s a chilly room.The mansion will expire in 12 hours although. LAURA: We simply acquired to head by way of the tree, yo.That’s it. SAM: We could convey it into the kitchen for now. TRAVIS: will we get the whole lot else into the Bag ofColding, apart from the roll of cover? MATT: The tooth and people matters can be put in theBag of protecting.The one thing that needs to be preserved is the cover, unless it’s dealt with. LAURA: What concerning the blood? MATT: The blood’s been capped. That shouldprobably be put in there. MARISHA: Three vials of dragon blood within the Bag ofColding. MATT: Yeah, mark three vials of white dragon bloodin the Bag of Colding. MARISHA: And now we have six talons. MATT: The talons themselves are gigantic claws thathave been removed. MARISHA: okay, so we have six talons, 20 enamel and150 pounds of cover. MATT: There you go. TRAVIS: Yeah.MARISHA: phrase. TRAVIS: We got so much bling. We’re stupid wealthy. SAM: plenty of things that we don’t know what theyare. LIAM: What’s that masks? TRAVIS: I take the masks, and like Jim Carrey inThe mask, I stick it to my face and (yells). LIAM: Do you feel something? What’s it doing? MATT: ok, i want you to– no, i am kidding. (laughter) MATT: it is chilly against your epidermis. TRAVIS: I believe find it irresistible’s making me fall in lovewith the first character I appear– Vax! LIAM: Oh, you do not want to fuck with this. Areyou sure? TRAVIS: No, you’re right, i don’t. LIAM: might be just a bit bit. (laughter) TRAVIS: I take the mask off and put it within the bagof conserving. But we received this! And that i hold up the colossal-ass platinum greatsword. LIAM: Whoa. LAURA: Can any person determine matters in our crew? TALIESIN: Do I admire the textual content on it?Celestial? MATT: Celestial, yes, you do. LAURA: Oh, you can read it! SAM: When did you study Celestial? TALIESIN: I was once an extraordinarily lonely baby. LIAM: it can be like Latin on this planet of D&D.TRAVIS: it is like, blanketed with prunes, up anddown the blade. LIAM: Priss, what’s it say? LAURA: Are you calling him a priss? LIAM: (laughing) Yeah. MATT: looking across the symbols, they arespecifically symbols speaking of production, devotion, the energy of a deity’s love and theunity between god and production. It is a very religious and holy text throughout the blade, bothsides. TALIESIN: this is some form of paladin sword. It’sa holy weapon of some sort. LAURA: Oh, I bet Kima would want the shit out ofthat. TRAVIS: Oh yeah, is Kima right here? MATT: She’s proper now in the method, in thekitchen, of massaging probably the most bruising and wounds she took from the battle. SAM: got some meat tenderizer on that? LIAM: Couple of chickens on it? TRAVIS: discontinue what you are doing.I need you to getyour fingers on this big, attractive bastard. And that i hand her the greatsword. MATT: "where the heck did you get this?" TRAVIS: I would let you know, however i don’t don’t forget. MATT: "supply me a little bit of time, I need to seeif i will be able to make this a part of my communion. Keep on a "2d." and she walks away, staring at the blade.Without leaving her eyes from the scrolling on the side, walks quietly previous all of you within the centerof the lobby, sits down with it and begins meditating over the blade.TRAVIS: I walk over and go, "earlier than you hitanything with it, you come speak to–" MATT: (shushing) TRAVIS: I go away. TALIESIN: whatever else fascinating? LAURA: I determined a jewel. It’s red. It looks prettyneato.

TALIESIN: whatever else we will have to go back for, aswell? TRAVIS: There was probably a massive gold ship,beneath. TALIESIN: There was a what? SAM: Gold mast, beneath the hoard. And also,far more gold and platinum that we are not able to very likely lift. LAURA: Wait, it had runes on it as good. Do theylook similar to the runes that had been on Greg– Grog’s sword? MATT: No, the symbols on the side of weapon looklike an historic textual content, they’re laid in an awfully ceremonial layout.The textual content that you noticed on theside of the mast appeared extra like an engraving. LAURA: Did it appear fluid? MATT: It was fluid. TALIESIN: there is a ship in the dragon’scollection? LAURA: sure. I don’t know if it used to be an whole ship,but it surely was once a ship. LIAM: so you didn’t go in, you noticed it? LAURA: good I received down, however most of it was once stillfrozen. TALIESIN: I consider this could be a fairly goodidea, earlier than we left. If a dragon grabbed a ship, it was once typically filled with some thing interesting.It got his awareness and he saved it. MARISHA: It could take days to probably meltthe ice, correct? TALIESIN: The ice is already melting. LIAM: Keek, you might more commonly melt your approach inthere in 24 hours. MARISHA: and i also have this. My new toy.

It looks to have some style of enchantment. LAURA: Does it look evil or just right? SAM: I haven’t any inspiration. Nonetheless, they seem fancy.

So if I did that, would that triple that as well? Or would it just beGrog’s normal jump? MATT: That magic would override the spell, basedon the enchantment. It can be two exclusive magical forces affecting the identical thing. The leap spell ispart of the enchantment that boot was once crafted round.LAURA: Oh, so that’s superb. MATT: The platinum band is not magical. TALIESIN: Yay! MATT: however it is worth quite just a little, simply. Theplatinum band is valued at about 2500 gold. TALIESIN: that is a magic all its possess.

That, whilst you’re wearing it– that you would be able to turn back invisible for one more action. As manytimes as you need, for as long as you wear it. So situationally, it can be very valuable, in case you’retrying to do infiltration or some thing. SAM: that you would be able to come out, cast a spell and pa again.However now not a bonus motion.

MATT: So while you guys go downstairs, you two aregoing to the dining area? LAURA: Is there a lounge within the mansion, is therea bar? SAM: there may be <i>often</i> lounges within the mansion.LIAM: Is there an aerated wine cellar? (laughter) SAM: it can be regularly aerating. (swirling) SAM: inside comic story. I am being teased proper now forowning and utilizing a wine aerator. TRAVIS: Whoever offered you that and mentioned it was anaerator is laughing their pleased asses off. SAM: I recognize satisfactory matters, and i’m not goingto ask for forgiveness for that. TRAVIS: Some guy broke that off of his kid’s toysand was once like "it’s an aerator!" LAURA: So sure, that is where we are going to go. We’re goingto go to the wine room. MATT: All right, you guys find your solution to thewine room. Scanlan, what are you doing? SAM: A whole lot of nothing. I will go down andwatch the show, i guess. I’m going to watch the educational exhibit. MATT: All right, you 4 head all the way down to thetraining room. Kima comes down to look at as well. Pike comes down, eager to watch what this newartifact does. You head all the way down to the learning discipline. You’ve got the enormous sandpit that’s cordoned off withthe picket outskirts, you have the quite a lot of dummies set up in specified approaches, you might have the component ofthe room that has the armor stand on the side, the weapon stand.What do you wish to have to do? MARISHA: Ooh-hoo. Ok. All right. Each person stayback. I’m going to start via casting the bottom stage of spell out of it, see what it does. MATT: Which is? MARISHA: apparently a Fireball. MATT: okay. At the place? MARISHA: anything is extra in the sandpit. Itold every person to face back. MATT: every person stays back. Furthest a part of thesandpit is going to be one of the crucial quite a lot of combat dummies. So that you launch– put the employees down, youguys watch as in the centerpiece at the high, where that one gem is hovering and slowly rotating inplace, the gem begins to glow vibrant purple from its delicate bluish-inexperienced composure.Because it hits brightred, this beam of acquainted pink arcane power streaks ahead, hits it and detonates into ashaking explosion, destroying the wooden dummy and singeing the one immediately left to it. TRAVIS: Whoa. Cool. MARISHA: Did you see that, Grog? TRAVIS: Yeah. Quite high-quality. MARISHA: That used to be first-rate. TRAVIS: was that the most important thing it does? MATT: So that is three charges off. LAURA: how many charges are there? MARISHA: 20, they usually recharge on the top of aday. They recharge 1d6 plus 4. LAURA: Oh. What number of recharge a day? MARISHA: 1d6 plus 4. TRAVIS: So 5 to ten. 5 to eleven. MARISHA: due to the fact that i have been rather excited aboutthis one, i’m going to point on the different dummy and solid Chain Lightning. MATT: ok. As you do, you watch as this giantbolt of electrical energy arcs off the equal position on the employees, hits the dummy and the dummyimmediately bursts into flames from the energy hitting the wood, after which arcs off and hits thetwo others.Instantly the dummies are partially blown apart on one part, the charred sectionslowly smoldering as smoke pours up, and you will find bits of the electrical vigor going(crackling) through the the rest of the wood dummy. MARISHA: Grog. Did you see that? TRAVIS: Holy shit. That used to be mighty. I sort ofwant to get available in the market for anything you do next. MARISHA: really?

TRAVIS: Do you will have a further one you need to do? MARISHA: Watch this Grog, watch this.I am going todo Conjure Elemental. MATT: okay, and which elemental are you going toconjure? MARISHA: What elemental? TRAVIS: Earth, gigantic! MARISHA: Earth! MATT: You watch as she slams the staff in theground and also you consider this quaking, and the sandpit at the back of her begins to slowly billow and get up. Asthe sand falls far from underneath, you see, standing behind and looming over Keyleth, thisgiant, cracked stone earth elemental, very much like the shape she traditionally takes, standing behindher. Its eyes flash up with a vivid green glow and it sits there, watching for her command. MARISHA: Then I do a bonus action and i also turninto an earth elemental. MATT: that is correct, when you consider that you bought your formsback at a short rest. MARISHA: sure I did. MATT: So now she turns into the same form. There’snow two elementals there. SAM: battle, combat, combat! MARISHA: Then we walk by way of and we high Gun eachother. MATT: each and every slam itself causes the air around to(cracking) like a small thunderwave in its possess right.MARISHA: Then we each turn and seem at Grog. TRAVIS: That used to be <i>robust</i>. MARISHA: Then I punch Grog in the face! LIAM: yes! MATT: Go forward and roll an attack. MARISHA: traditional one! TALIESIN: that’s no longer a spell attack, is it? MARISHA: That used to be for me! MATT: And for the opposite elemental, what’s yourbonus? As an earth elemental, what’s your assault bonus? Considering the fact that the other elemental goes topunch him even as too.MARISHA: He will get a plus eight. MATT: Plus eight? That is a sixteen, that does not. Sohere’s what happens. In gradual motion, Grog stands there with a giant grin on his face, and both fistsgo (slamming) and go with the flow off, no have an effect on. And you are still dumbfounded and having fun with the second. TRAVIS: Keyleth. MARISHA: (gruffly) I did that on reason. TRAVIS: am i able to recognize what she’s announcing? MATT: No, you hear (rockslide crashing). SAM: Wow, she will be able to become a ways-sighted earthelementals. (laughter) SAM: mighty. MARISHA: okay, I drop my kind to listen to what Groghas to say.

MARISHA: So wait, do we’d like things– how farunder the ice is it? TALIESIN: most of the time a bit. Having the capacity tomelt some ice would usually be invaluable. Additionally, you are going to have to do the tree teleport andpossibly we wish to handle reforestation of some type. MARISHA: Reforestation. Oh, definite given that the IceAge wiped out– TALIESIN: We need to go out like Captain EO.It’sa factor. MARISHA: Yeah!

You make your way backout into the ravine just as the magic of the mansion fades. There you will see many of the dragon bonespicked utterly off the corpse of Vorugal, besides for the ribcage, nonetheless remaining as a landmark ofthe battle that took situation with a valuable tree nonetheless sprouting from the highest of it. LAURA: Is it any higher? MATT: No, the magic of Fenthras creates the tree andit stays that dimension because it sprouts.Who is aware of if over time it should develop? You have not had the time toreally tell. You guys make your method– MARISHA: I failed to comprehend you might be an artist. LAURA: it can be fairly beautiful, isn’t it? MARISHA: it can be beautiful amazing, yes. I appreciatethis. LAURA: you are welcome. I did it for you, Keyleth. TALIESIN: obviously adds anything, doesn’tit? To the whole valley. It can be particularly best. TRAVIS: Yeah. Green. MATT: The climate has cleared up. There’s breaksin the clouds. It can be nonetheless typically cloud-blanketed, but you do see glimpses of blue sky here andthere. Nonetheless bloodless, still see your breath out within the air. However the temperature does believe slightlywarmer than it was the day earlier than. You to stroll right down to the ravine core on the north sideof the ravine where Vorugal’s lair as soon as resided. You’ll discover thousands of footprints, up and down, by means of the snow, by way of the ravine; appears like there may be been quite a few foot visitors to and from while you guys wereresting.You are making your option to the ice throne of Vorugal and you see a portion of it has collapsedinward. However you additionally see a lot of foot traffic round, most of the ice spires that remained upthere have been broken. The rest Draconian corpses that had been adorning them have been taken down,or are not in sight. And you will see that there are a couple of ultimate dragonborn Ravenites which are steppingin and out of the cavern-like chamber that you simply mostly punched by way of they usually persisted toexcavate it into the night.TALIESIN: should you would allow them to comprehend that we’regoing to make one last enterprise into the ship and then we will be on our method. LAURA: I walk as much as some of the guys getting into, andsay in Draconic, have you ever unearthed the significant ship but? MATT: He appears for a 2nd and says, "It isnothing for us. However we now have labored around it." He features down, and you will discover the component to it thathas collapsed, filled partially at the part and shoveled out in these enormous chunks of ice which are sitting external of this cavern area. Components of the ship have been moved around– it appears adore it’sbeen fairly damaged. It can be not a full ship.It’s a huge part of a ship. It appears like in whateverbattle or attack that Vorugal took this ship, it destroyed a colossal element of it in doing so andtook the rest of it with it, in pieces. And it’s a very pretty ship. It appears find it irresistible can have beenthe jewel of a navy someplace. And here it resides. Nevertheless, it does show up like the ship has seenmany moons considering it was at first taken, if that makes any sense. Like, it wasn’t introduced directlyhere. It looks like almost a souvenir that Vorugal has moved from lair to lair.LIAM: (whispers) Oh, that is legit! MATT: Has some variety of sentimental worth. LAURA: Oh, wow! It had some engraving on it. Youspeak plenty of languages, proper? TALIESIN: well. I communicate a few languages, Iread a couple. MARISHA: what’s it? TALIESIN: Does it look familiar? MATT: What languages have you learnt? TALIESIN: Celestial, Elven, fashioned. MARISHA: Sylvan, Primordial, Druidic, Elven.TRAVIS: colossal, customary. SAM: Gnomish. That’s it. MATT: you do not even know fashioned. Nobody hasunderstood you this whole recreation! LAURA: Pike speaks Dwarvish. MATT: Pike does decide on up on it. It’s Dwarvishtext. TRAVIS: I communicate Dwarvish, but I can not read. MATT: that is a predicament. TRAVIS: i’ve a belt, yeah. MATT: it’s Dwarven, and as Pike begins readingaround it, this– it can be the identify of the ship throughout the mast, which is "The Floebreaker." This shipappears to had been, at least in some way, shape, or kind, designed as a method of journeying by means of veryfar north icy areas, intended to break through factors of heavy glacier flows and such. Theconstruction of it, as you get towards the precise little bit of the ship that’s there, which you can seeit’s very heavily bolstered with metal and has an extraordinarily inflexible structure to it.The exceptional scrollingthat you noticed earlier than, it appears to be partially filled with ice every now and then. So as quickly because it brokeaway, you could see it’s surely extra of a harsh, damaged Dwarvish runic writing to it. The ship hasdefinitely visible quite a lot of put on and tear. That’s about as much that you may make out of it. LAURA: will we get inside it? Is there anythingto see inside it? MATT: that you would be able to try and climb inside of if you wish to. MARISHA: How so much is exposed proper now? MATT: just the top of the deck, and the place themast connects to the– that portion continues to be frozen into the upper part of the throne.There’s no entrance right away obvious, but that you would be able to wreck by means of some more ice or attempt to breakthrough the specific deck to get there.MARISHA: I solid a Flaming Sphere. MATT: k. A flaming ball starts offevolved to roll on thebridge of the ship. MARISHA: the place does it appear like the mostconvenient entrance? With ice and stuff? MATT: maybe 4 toes far from the place theice starts. You will see there is one broken component of the ship deck, possibly a few three-foot,4-foot gap that you simply would soften toward in the event you desired to. MARISHA: All proper, i will pay attention myFlaming Sphere on that and begin melting it. MATT: okay. It is taking a at the same time. About how longdoes the spell last, the Flaming Sphere? MARISHA: a couple of minute, I think? LAURA: (hums the Jeopardy theme) MATT: All proper, Flaming Sphere, as much as a minute,yeah. The spell expires, the minute done, and you will have managed to soften might be three inches into the ice? LAURA: Grog, go punch it. MARISHA: How much was it? MATT: About 4 toes of ice.MARISHA: Oh, fuck that. TRAVIS: Ugh! I received it. MARISHA: I step back. TRAVIS: and i start going Rocky-ribcage on thisbig piece of meat. MATT: k, make your force check. LAURA: ordinary 20. TRAVIS: 21. MATT: 21. He continues to punch, and punch, andpunch, and each one you see the ice crack, portions of it break away. You get really a methods to punchingthrough toward the course that you’re currently melting before quite a few the ice crumblesand falls and virtually buries you for a second. But you knock it away and pull your self out of it asyou do, scooping the shards that occupied the space where you had been and get out of the way.MARISHA: I cast a Gust cantrip over top ofhim to keep ice from falling on him. LAURA: i hope there’s fairly whatever in right here. MARISHA: Me too. MATT: continues punching. You get to at least one factor, andyou hit, and also you hear a (stupid have an effect on). You watch a crack spider up to the top of the throne. TRAVIS: I consider we have got to go. MATT: component of the throne above you is nowstarting to crack and fall onto the part.TRAVIS: I going for walks out of there. LAURA: We will have to get out. Let’s go. MARISHA: I additionally back out. MATT: okay. I would like the three of you who areclosest to it to make a dexterity saving throw, please. TRAVIS: Can i take advantage of my Boots of Feral Leaping? MATT: you’ve gotten advantage on dexterity, though.You’ll be able to be quality. LIAM: I could’ve hanged again, but i’ve been meaning to claim this entire time that I was once creeping around the thrones, i’m simply going to throw that out, that i am up there.MATT: okay, so that you see this happening. A portionof it, like a whole half of aspect of it has cracked and is sliding down into the cavern that has beenexcavated via your get together and the Ravenites. LIAM: So if i am nearly on it, will have to I be making adex shop as good? MATT: If you’re virtually on it– LIAM: I used to be going to poke around and seem aroundit. MATT: simplest half of of it can be collapsing, i’m going to saysure. Go for it. You who offers me to permit you to make a dexterity saving throw, yes. I will take it. LAURA: really? Did you really do that? LIAM: I rolled a one, but i’ve lots of Luckleft.And now i am first-rate. TRAVIS: i’m not. LIAM: So that is a 26. MATT: So yeah. You manage to jump off andtumble in the snow to the backside and don’t ought to worry about it. Travis? TRAVIS: Eight. With expertise. LAURA: 29. MARISHA: Eight. TALIESIN: 19. But I burned a resolve. MATT: in order you guys dart out, Grog and Keylethunfortunately are left a bit bit behind. You both are pummelled with chunks of tough ice andjagged points of broken frost there, dealing thirteen facets of bludgeoning and piercing injury to bothof you. And you in finding yourselves partly buried in the ice that cracks off it. You see most ofKeyleth’s body is presently buried, just her head and palms are out. And Grog, you’re about up toyour waist now in damaged ice and snow.And you are like, (grunts), and pull your self out. TRAVIS: appear at Keyleth’s arm. LAURA: Yeah, I see it. Are you able to get her out? TRAVIS: okay. I start moving the ice and pull herout. MATT: You pull Keyleth out. MARISHA: (coughing) TRAVIS: that didn’t go well. TALIESIN: Let’s burrow straight into the facet, Ithink, to be on the trustworthy part. Let’s stop melting ice. LAURA: isn’t it buried absolutely at this factor? MATT: At this factor, the whole excavationportion– by the way, as you guys got here back, most of the gold and platinum that used to be in there hasbeen entirely eliminated through the Ravenites over time. And this whole subject that has been excavatedso carefully left it in a precarious place. Those physical hits by Grog sent that whole south sideof the throne to collapse inwards. So it is partly collapsed. There is a significant pile of ice,rock and snow. And it is no longer very accessible from the current standpoint.LAURA: maybe it was once one in all Vorugal’s firstkills or anything? And it can be sentimental? TALIESIN: I don’t know, i am annoyed with the aid of it. LIAM: I consider it could have given him somewhat bitof juice when he used to be at dwelling. MARISHA: Do you consider it has some variety oficy-like– LIAM: additional capacity when he was once right here, maybe. MARISHA: I might are trying, and perhaps now that the iceis damaged i can soften it through it simpler? LIAM: Why would a dragon maintain a ship? TALIESIN: Why would he?

LAURA: As quickly as the cube comes out: am i able to talkto you, do you mind stepping away? TRAVIS: With the dice out? SAM: You speakme to me? LAURA: No, not you. TALIESIN: certain, yeah, i’ll do nothing butstare at that bloody ship if i don’t, so sure. LAURA: How are you, after death? TALIESIN: i am trying rather rough to not thinkabout it, genuinely. I don’t know, truthfully. There hasn’t been quite a lot of time to procedure. LAURA: No, there hasn’t. It can be quite a bit in just a few days. TALIESIN: i might say it will be satisfactory to be goinghome, except i know what we’re going dwelling to. So there’s going to be no remedy. LAURA: No, not for a at the same time, i don’t think. TALIESIN: That creature placing round. LAURA: sure. TALIESIN: Yeah, demise was once no longer fine. LAURA: No. I have got to tell you anything TALIESIN: All correct. LAURA: have you learnt what Fenthras approach? TALIESIN: i don’t, genuinely.LAURA: It comes from the Elvish phrases, I’msurprised. Growth and security. TALIESIN: i might’ve ultimately seemed it up. It’sthe variety of terribly boring factor i’d do. LAURA: it’s ordinary that Saundor had it for so long,because he was fairly the opposite of that, do not you feel? TALIESIN: I tend to believe that many individuals tend toexalt the particular opposite of what they are. LAURA: yes. I have no idea, I consider he centered forso lengthy on the betrayal of his love, on all of the horrible matters inside himself that caused that,that he grew to become the physical embodiment of it. And i believe he was once trying to do the identical thing to me. Eventhough I refused him, I would feel these seeds being planted. Self-doubt and loathing echoing inmy intellect every night.Reliving each incorrect that folks have carried out to me and the whole thing i’ve accomplished. TALIESIN: I just lately– i’ll say, earlier than demise– had just a little of an epiphany, and had been making an attempt– not invariably succeeding, however attempting– to not dwell on such things. LAURA: that is without a doubt what I wanted to speak toyou about. Within the fight with Ripley. TALIESIN: yes. LAURA: Your final phrases to her were, "I forgiveyou." TALIESIN: sure.

TALIESIN: How common is that phrase? MATT: you recognize the phrase. TALIESIN: i would understand the phrase. LAURA: it can be forgive.TALIESIN: Oh. LAURA: I carved this on Fenthras because that’sthe key, isn’t it? It can be the only approach to rather develop. TALIESIN: I believe so. I am making an attempt. It can be the onlything I’ve tried that is made any experience thus far. And it felt very liberating, it felt just right, it feltperfect. And it wasn’t about her. It used to be almost me. Truthfully, that was once rather the item thatI seen, was I did not say it to make her think higher, I didn’t say it to offer her any peace. Icame to that feeling before walking into her. I didn’t know if it would be genuine after I saw her,however I believe like so much of my vigor had been the sort of waste. And worse than a waste, it had beentwisted within the mistaken course. And it is too late for a lot of matters.There are things I cannottake again and matters that i’ve completed with a view to endlessly be horrible, however that’s now not the factor, Isuppose. LAURA: it is not. Whoever that boy used to be that createdthose things, that suffered such horrors that he felt they had been justified? You ought to forgive him,too. In view that the whole lot you have got suffered and persevered and created in that time has made you intothe person you at the moment are.And you’ve got a top notch intellect. And any darkness that could cloud yourvision on social gathering, the truth that you found it within your self to forgive her signifies that it willnever overtake you. TALIESIN: thank you. I would like to consider we’reall higher than we consider we are. Besides probably your brother. I think he is just a mess. LAURA: he is horrible, is not he? Simply the worst. TALIESIN: Is he in right here? LAURA: possibly, he’s frequently hiding somewhere. TALIESIN: would not have given him that ring.Thanks. I know I have to forgive myself. I’m now not rather there yet, but i will be able to see a path. I likewhere we are and what we’re doing. I feel that we’re the proper folks within the correct situation and theright time. LAURA: I agree. And this engraving is a reminderthat whenever I attack, it can be no longer out of vengeance. TALIESIN: i would be horrified when you have been takingyourself too severely.LAURA: on no account. Did you see the endure that I carvedon the tree? It’s really beautiful. TALIESIN: It used to be fairly lovely. I do not know if thetree is particularly as completely satisfied with it, but I used to be relatively impressed. LAURA: thanks. TALIESIN: thank you. LAURA: that is all. TALIESIN: What room are we in, out of curiosity? LAURA: there isn’t any room, we’re in the woods.TALIESIN: Oh, no room, we’re in the woods. Yeah,all proper.
