Strahd 10: Sacrilege and Sin

In a land plucked from time and space, surrounded by a fog that lets not escape. Be wary every adventure for the dangers hidden in every corner. To the castle you must go to throw an ancient evil on your own. But cautiously, he knows you're coming. He smells the flesh blood. You're carrier. Trust no one in this land of twilight, and you might survive to see true sunlight against all odds. If you prevail, heroes true, they will sing of you to end your tale. But if you fall headless, your soul is now trapped.

High atop a mountain peak sits Rainbow Loft Key. It's grand old doors. Open. With you an invitation so tarry not. There should be no delay. The Master awaits you. This death welcome laws, ladies, nobles and serves. Prepare your spirits to be marred as we enter the class of Stride. Hello and welcome to Is That a 609A Deep Podcast by Idiots? It's me. Alex was. Just we're waking up. Now her nerves aren't good. Just shit myself. I am your host. My name is Carl in. My studio Garudio kitchen We're in the kitchen today because it's raining so much I. Did yes we have moved.

We're in a house today which is nice. To my left I worked. Hard in here. I have Maria Nicholson playing us. Will be shady. Matt Court. Creamy C It's what my. Rap. It's my rap. Name not my. Creamy C. Because I'm pale, smell weird if I'm outside for too long. I'm Avon Dankeer so. Upset just got a gloss over Alex Sherman. Hi, she really wants to be here. Yeah, you get the impression. All right.

Oh God, there. Wake up last last session. We're just going to go straight into it last session. You guys? Yeah, Dray. In Yes no. Distractions. No distractions. No one interrupting. No one's saying. Anything. No one cutting anyone off. No, of course not. Be really quick last. Session, you guys. You guys had a massive fight with a whole bunch of zombies. That was like most of the session. You also summoned a horse that didn't quite go as planned. Yes, Sun Ray is looking a little bit Peaky. Thanks to the white sang, Thanks to the cursed magics of Borobia, you summoned an undead D corpse of a horse.

Little bit flaky. Corpse horse. Fuck, I get sneak attack on advantage or if an ally is in with five feet of an enemy. Nice to know that you didn't use that during the fight. That's alright, I get one extra D8 of damage and I didn't use that at all. I love. 3D6 I could have used an evotion thing to workout if the church was cursed and didn't. No, I was quite busy. I had a lot going on. It's OK. It's OK, we're idiots. That was sort of that's the premise of the show. It's OK if we're idiots. So we learned.

That we were pretending that. We have learned that you guys, you guys just need to reach character sheets a little bit more in depth and just keep track of what you can and can't do. Writing. It's a lot like, and also it's OK because we're idiots and for anyone that doubted whether we were idiots, they will now in fact know that we are in fact idiots. So far, the only people who listen are people that we know, so they know we're idiots. Yeah, that's fine. It's totally fine. Yeah. Yeah. You cross, you come across some Berserker Wildman A1.

You didn't engage in combat. You actually handled that situation pretty well. I feel pretty good around. Pretty, pretty wise movements, you were. That you were able to. Yeah. Why are you saying that to me? It was my movements. You are able to cross the southeastern part portion of the river Eveless that leads into the pool and we left off when you guys encountered a grave. That we're all which? We are now. It shows it the grave start it's untrusted. Did you see a bear when you went to Yosemite? No, they told us that they see quite a lot of them, but.

And then you didn't. We're only there for a day and we didn't really hike. We had that when we went to Iceland. They said like we went to go and see the Northern Lights. Like we went out on a little boat out of like in the harbour in Reykjavik and they're still fucking boat like in in the harbour wasn't too bad, but then like it went even though it was night time. They When? Did you go to Iceland? Fucking years ago they went out of out of the harbour walls and into like open sea and it was so fucking choppy.

I don't know why they were doing. They were just driving around in the open ocean for no fucking reason. It was so cold and it was rolling. Everyone's Pete, just this tourist boat rolling all over the place. People like the hot like it's. I'd have been sick. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this boat was basically like imagine like you get like a barge and then you put seats in the bottom bit that's like hollow, like it's all like wrote like a, like a bus, like a load of bus seats in the bottom of that barge bit.

And then you put like a platform on top of that and more seats up there. And then. So basically you can walk in one side, walk through all the benches in and out the other side. And then somewhere in the top of that is like the the steering room 1. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So imagine that. But like Arctic wind and rolling around, there's vomit slowly filling up at the bottom bit because it's hollow and there's vomit pouring down the stairs from the upper bit. And I'm like, yeah, it's just like hanging over the side of the boat and it's fucking awful.

And then then they go back into the fucking harbour because it turns out that was an option in the entire time. Just stay in the harbour where it's nice and quiet. And then then you look up and it's all you can see, all the Northern Lights and stuff. It's lovely. Great, if anyone was able to stand up or lift their heads without puking everywhere then that would have been a majestic. Thing it reminds me into the end and they go. Right. If you come back tomorrow, here's some tickets to go and see the whales on the same boat and it's like I'm fucking back on my fucking boat.

Then you look it up. It's not even whales season when we were there. So it's like, how would that? It reminds me of when we got the ferry back from France and the engine. Died. And the whole ferry filled up with vomit that Alex and Sinead were just coming back from Wales to Ireland and the ferry got cancelled because of bad weather. And then they had to take take the Isle of Man ferry across the Irish Sea and it is not built for that. And even Alex throw up like it was really bad. The customer service for that fucking atrocious.

There was no electricity, they couldn't heat the baby's bottles and they were going to miss their bus the other side because it was so delayed and they weren't given any information. And when Frankie went and complained, the guy went, well, you better run really fast when you get off the boat then. And she was like, yes, but how do I feed the baby? Fuck you Stena line. Absolutely. Hard against Stena Line, whoever they are. I think it was Stena. So getting back to D&D when I started and that was going, sorry.

Where are we I? Have no idea what's going to. Be fair, that story just kept going and it wasn't even mine. Yeah, you are on the southwestern side of the Sir Paul. Oh yeah, I remember. Kirish, you are. Yeah. You've you crossed. You crossed over the lake and you found yourself a grave. Yeah. This grave has been desecrated. For fuck's sake, it can't be a good thing. It is a shallow yeah, it's a shallow mud filled hole with dirt and rocks. I knew it so the grave for me. And a few scattered bones within.

Oh man. I'd say yes. I I don't like it. I don't like it. She's clearly got it out for me. She's clearly got it out for me. She took a grave for me. She's clearly got it out for me. There's a grave here. Yeah, you can't see anything. Fortunately it appears to have been desecrated. But I think maybe if nobody minds, I feel like in this land, having a desecrated grave is probably a bad thing. Maybe I'll scoop the bones back into the try to. Re bury it I'll. Try to be. Consecrated. Yeah, Yeah. OK, I. I scrape the bones in at the side of my foot.

A lot of filling in a Skull of the Beach matchstick drop. Matchstick hasn't dude run away with a whipping I? Think now she's probably quite happy she can't see it right now. She doesn't have to deal with any of this shit. She's just like on the horse, like in her own world, honestly. You're happy you can't see about 45 minutes or so, Yeah. They're just thinking about what romanticity books she's going to read now she's like. Missing the sweet comforts of home. Just wondering when I'm going to find.

She's just saying what I've need. I've got a book in my pack about a lumberjack who has sex with a ghost lady and I just. I can't read it until I get my fucking. Because I didn't buy the trail version. You can't read it because she's blind it. Seems quite up your street. These are my favourite. This is horny dead people here but.

Psych Religion. Sin. Yes, I'm going to re consecrate the grave. I'm going to try to. OK, roll evolution. Check. See how well you do. What? Do you think sparkly, white or pink? Pink. Pink. It's better tonight. Rolled the entirety of last year. It's a 15. I'm going to go into myself. Why not? That's a three. 1818 OK, better than you use your Nat one. Yes, thank you. Will. That is Stu's observation. You actually dig the grave to to standardised regulation depth instead of just a little shallow pick.

It actually is a grave. Now we. Dig a lot of graves in the silver calibre.

And you say a little prayer, and then you lay the bones to rest. I. Say. A. Little prep for you. I do not know how long this person has been addressed, but hopefully this reconsecration will help. Will doesn't handle death well, so he just breaks out into. Some time he's just doing that sort of gospel thing in the background. Yeah, he's like, oh, this is it sounds. Like Jolly, but when he actually doesn't do it, it's quite a a moving, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Shortly shortly after this event, shortly after you bet you you reconsequent the grave.

Often you're like you tidy up and you bury the bones. I The figure rises out of the grave. Oh fuck. Is a it's, it's like a almost transparent silvery blue revelant and it rises out and it looks at the three of you. I don't. Know what that is? It's. Kind of like a scary. Ghost. Very, it's like a like a very scary ghost. Like a gooey ghost. Like the Ghost of Christmas. If you think like a like, think like a zombie but a ghost, but a ghost, Yeah, like you've you've seen me play Skyrim. Yeah, the Drowga, which I think they're pretty close to like relevant appearance.

Yeah, Droga was like just the. Like oh Droga death Lord. I think more like the whatever they call the black. Army people. I feel like Alex is Googling it. The zombie ghosts from under the mountain in Return to the King. That's that's way better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Yeah, just throw me a Lord of the Rings reference and I'm. There we go. Yeah. That rises up. Roll a religion check advantage. Hello fucking girl. That's. It's a 12. Not great. Wait, is that A7 or a three? Is it the show? No, it's a 12.

I thought you got. One on the pink dice, so it's a 7 seven, yeah.

Damn, I really wanted you to a higher. What about me? All of you can. Should we try see shit. So is there any point in her rolling? It's spiritual. I mean, maybe I get a vibe. You can get, yeah, you can roll for it if you wish. Got. 11 Yeah. Vibe check What am I? What? Am I just an? Investigation. It's a religion check. What did you roll? Religion, No. 5 or 12 I suppose for you. Fuck, how would you even roll for that vibe check?

Vibe check. Perception. She gets her phone out and films her outfit for the day. Vibe check. Perception like intelligence. Perception I can add 5 to it which makes it 16. Oh no, for you it'll be a religion. Oh well then, 11. OK. I know not of what I look at, but I know it's looking at me and I don't like it. Why is it looking at me? I'm not familiar with the type of thing. I'm. Keep making it that quote. What is it from? Calculon as as it as the relevant rises out of its grave and then turns North East.

I had to check them out for. That one I'm. Sorry, I had. Any idea? What? Yeah, we are. We're all. Turns as it turns NE, you get this feeling of like benevolence. It's not not aggressive towards you guys like you, you just get this like the sense of. Something really horrible being. Like, like and like a dark past. Almost type of impending like. Does it seem like sad? No vengeful. I, I, I say we did the thing. I don't, I don't think it's looking to attack us. It looks like it's on its own revenge course.

Then I vote, we say the fuck. Away it begins to March. It begins to March up the outcropping of the Sir Paul. And then as it fades out of your eyesight, you see first a few like 2 and then two more than five, more than 15 more and 100 odd other revenants following behind it. But they're going away from us, and that's all I this. Event is known as the The Marching of the Dead. This happens every night in the land of Borovia. This these are the revenant undead spirits who died against Strad when he conquered the valley, and these are vengeful spirits that are doomed to their final March up to the castle of Ravenloft.

I guess we don't necessarily, although well, I got told. We don't need to be getting up and all of that, no. Yeah, I got told at the shop that this happens, so I guess I'm not entirely surprised. Yeah. Not getting involved with it though. No, I don't think there's anything we can do these these revenants are I think I was told. I mean, I think the only thing to do is would be to. And unfortunately they are going the direction that you guys need to go to get to Adam Eva's camp. They. Seem. They seem relatively peaceful for me.

Yeah. We were told in Borovia that these these. Respectful distance they walk through you. They they're not, they're not like it's, it's like a it's like, it's like a proper like apparition cool. Like you see them, they are relevant, but they're not like they're not solid. They're not corporal room. Well, that's creepy, but. Yeah, I guess we just keep. We're just going, Yeah, we'll leave them to it for now. Yeah, let's continue. As you follow them, as you follow the spirits through the clearing of the trees onto the onto the wooden Rd wooden Rd sorry on out of the woods onto the road.

The road gradually disciplays and is replaced by a twisted muddy path through the trees. Deep breaths in the earth are evidence of the comings and goings of waggons. The canopy of mist and branches suddenly gives way to black clouds for a boiling far above. There was a clearing here and next to the river that widens to form a small lake. Several 100 feet across, which is the centre of the circle, are 5 colourful round tents, each 10 feet in diameter are pitched outside a ring of four barrel topped waggons.

A much larger tent stands near the shore of the lake, it's slugging form lit from within. Near this tent are 8 unbridled horses drinking from the river. The mournful strains of an accordion clash with the singing of several bright, brightly clad figures around a bonfire. The footpath continues beyond this encampment, meandering N between the river and the forest's edge. As and as you, as you take all this in like the hunt has the other, the sight of the camp unfolds before you. You hear the familiar voice of an old man.

My friends, you have finally made it. Fuck off. Welcome to Madam Eva's camp. I'm. Sick. You know what? I'm just grateful to see a. Friend, I'm gonna kill us. No malice. I kick him in the balls. Will I pick up?

I kick my arms. And legs and. I am very What was his fucking name? His name? Roller history Check. I love you. Old man wrinkles his name. It's an 18. Not 20. Yeah. I'm rolling well. I like these new dice. They do the job, Colti. Group. Being weird. Yep, want. Us to go to below. I like that that's your notes because mine was like, they seem really friendly. They give us this thing you're like. Really. Weird. I didn't actually write his name down. Are they the ones that I was pickpocketing at the start?

Yep. Dynamir. Dynamir Yeah, there we go. However, his his party is somewhat smaller than what you guys remember. There are a few members of the Vastani that are no longer with them like random ones. No names were given, but you you distinctly know that one of the youngest shopping men who was tending near the horses and the old woman that kept asking Malice if she was going to settle down think about having kids anytime soon. The biggest? Question in the world. I'm going to she is also missing. Good.

Yes, do. We learn about asking intrusive questions.

My friend, some things we've. We've had an interesting time since we've arrived in Barova. Perhaps we could stay at your camp for for a time. Are we welcome? You are most indeed welcome. Really pleased guys, they found us somewhere safe to camp tonight.

Tumbleweed gets off the horse and very absolutely like. Because you're. Blind falls off the horse. Athletics. I get -1 13. OK, pretty graceful. For someone who can't. See. Yeah, get your skirt caught. Yeah. I tug it and it rips. I've had enough. My my friend, we've had some. They're going to remember that I rubbed them. So I'm just getting paranoid in the corner that they're going to like call me out we've. Had some turbulent luck since we've been here in Borovia. Just did that, blood dripping out the corner of my house.

But. We're we're we're in need of rest and possibly even healing. I don't know. Perhaps there is a healer among your your number. And then as like I look around realise there there are a few people here this your camp seems smaller than then when we saw you outside never went through. Is everything OK? If we came across hard times on our way into the familiar lands out of the place that you call home. It seems that a few of our my camp were and he looks around spies I'm. Getting hungry? Spies.

I walk over to work. I hear that. I go. If you ruin this for me, I'll kill you. She. She says, staring at. Some kids in there by. The fire I just heard the shortest.

Thing walk into a fucking tree. Jeepers, lady, you're really scary. No, I'm like I, no, I just like make you aware that I'm getting hungry. Oh. Fuck. You only ate today. It's. Literally been like 6 hours or. Something you can't be hungry again. You're hungry. I'm just making you aware. I'm. Hungry. It's going to be a problem at some point. My friends go. Into the forest and find something there. We need, we need, we need the breasts.

Perhaps breasts? My friend here is hungry. He says he needs to go with perhaps some wine. Dribbling down my chin. Perhaps perhaps some wine for my friend here? He beckons you and and as he as he sits, as as he like welcomes you into the camp. The other of a stand, he'll say hi and they're all like still singing and. I'm not being dribbles of everyone and like. They offer you they. They readily offer you food and drink. Yes. Do they recognise me as the person that was stealing from them? Nope. You you rolled a sleight of hand to get away with it.

So. Yeah, you rolled really well. And the spies that, like titled on you are no longer in the camp, no longer part of his party. So yeah, as he as as you're given, like as you're essentially like given a free meal and you're like listening to all the individual like stories about everyone's like travels. Stanamir sits down next to Ivan and he has like a private conversation loud enough for you guys to hear, but he's not like proclaiming it to the rest of the camp, as you may or may not have known by as you by now, I'm sure that you have learned a portion of the of our tribe, our spice to the the Dread Lord.

Make no mistake, we all owe allegiance and we all share some sort, some form of loyalty to a stride, but not all of us are welcoming of what he has become. I was. Curious about this before. Most of us mourn and hate what he has become. Yes, I kind of like I will and try and like. I'm just shuffle. Around swapping. My hands up and down in. My mouth just. The past the time I.

Sort of like try like, yeah, like shuffle around and it will can't necessarily hear what I'm saying. I'm too busy thinking that every someone's going to recognise me in a minute because I'm a paranoid mess. I'm like. I have, I've met, we have met several Vastani here in Bovia already and I can't, I cannot get a read on what what their their where their allegiance lies. I've met people who seem to be dead set on following Strad. I've met people who who seem to be kind of nonplussed either way. And then there are people like yourselves.

You, I got the feeling that you were, we were being sent here to perhaps deal with Strad. But you are, as I say, that met several Vastani who seem to be working actively for him. One of them cursed my friend here, Lady Malice. Daddy's look, I look. There is nothing behind my eyes, Daddy's look not even in his direction I can hear. Him Lady Malice has been cursed and blinded by Vastani in in Borovia. Our camp leader Ava, she will be able to help you with this. It will in do time. What about please?

It's. No, it's. Rest. She'd rather see, I think I'd rather I don't know. Not be cursed really getting. On my last quick, I'd really rather I don't. I don't. I say that very slightly under my breath and then I just, I think I go and find wherever we're sleeping. Yeah. Start stumbling with us like shit. Like tripping over me like.

Hey, watch it. Get out the way, peasant. Move. There's not even any like I feel like there's, there's not even a tiny bit of me being like, I'm high, I'm upper, I'm more upper class to you. There's not even it's. Pure anger. I'm so angry he's triggered me. My friends. She will be healed in due time. Why in due time? Why can't you just do it? Just curious. Will it's It's just late now. It's dark. So let me guess, you can only do it at dawn?

Ignore that. We've had unfortunate running insurance with some people in village in borough, yeah.

How is the village? We did not come through that way. Probably. Couple of members lower. Good idea, we may have burnt a few bridges. Bodies. That is, we did Disappointing. We didn't encounter struggle you. Encountered the Dreadloin. What gave it away? Yes, as I said, things have not exactly gone our way since we arrived. We are desperately in need of rest and I would not wish to impose ourselves on your camp, but if there is room for us here tonight it would be greatly appreciated.

As well as that, we we need healing.

It is by no mere chance that you have found an encampment even through your own efforts and travelling on your own. It was fainted, prophesied even you would join us on this on this night if you if you are in require of rest, please find yourself as open space if you need food. I actually have my own tent, yeah. So I'm going to set that up. OK.

Oh, so she's so wonky. It doesn't even look like a tent. It's. Just a pile of the. Ground sheet is halfway up in the air. Like the bottom of the tent is on the side of the tent and the poles just in the middle. Everything's sagging around. Starting to tear through the power. Yeah. She gets in as she goes to sleep in 4 hours because that's all she needs. Good for you are. You going to take a rest? I yeah, I guess if if everyone's going to sleep now. Then I'll let. There is a tale you may well you.

It's up to you. There was a tale that you may wish to hit. Why don't we rest and then? Hit Well, yeah, well, no, I think if we're we gathered around the the fire, we're eating with with drinking, sharing stories. There's definitely gaps in. The tents, Yeah, tell I tell Starlem about our adventures so far. He nods stand me like hushes down like via the talking as this drunken Vestani stands up with a large like goblet in one hand and he stands over the fire. My friends, I tell you this tale over the for all the great friends that we have with us tonight.

For you see a mighty wizard came to this land over a year ago. I remember him like it was yesterday. He stood exactly where you are standing, very charismatic man he was. And they were standing like begin to like laugh and jeer. He thought that he could rally the people of Borovia against the Devil's Strad. He stirred them with thoughts of revolt and bore them to the castle on mass. But when the vampire appeared, the peasant's army fled away in terror. A few stood their ground and were never seen again.

The wizard and the vampire cast spells at each other. The battle flew from the courtyards of Ravenloft to a precipice overlooking the falls. I saw the battle with my own eyes. Thunder shook the mountainside and great rocks tumbled down upon the wizard. Yet by his magic he survived. Lightning from the heavens struck the wizard, and again he stood his ground. But when the Devil's strand fell upon him, the wizard's magic couldn't save him. I saw him thrown 1000 feet to his death. I climbed down to the river to search the wizard's body to see if you know he had anything of value.

But the River Evilis had already spirited him away, and to this day that body has not been found. And everyone gets. Good story. I don't know, I. Thought they liked it All History check Advantage All of you 15. 15 snap Good. #19. All of you immediately make the connection that this is this was the party that Doru Donovich's son was a part of, and he was one of the villagers who stood his ground and was turned into a vampire spawn. Unfortunate. Sucks to be here dead now, right? He's dead, Yeah. Never mind.

Then the the Vastani kind of stumbles back and falls on his arse and this up war of laughter as the as like the party like resumes in like full blow. Like this accordion begins to strike up again as a few violas like kicking and the younger women of the Campbell begin to like dance around the fire. Standing there leans in. You may wish to rest now, or you can attempt to see Madam Ava. It is kind of late so she may not be wanting to receive visitors, but if you wanted to try. We rest. Do we get our health back?

Yes. Yeah. He just, he adjusted over to the north eastern side of the camp where the largest tent is, and that is Madam Eva's tent I. We're resting, right? Yeah, I think a rest first. We'll have a. Rest. Right I. I'm going to tie Will's hands. I don't know. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to tie him to a waggon. No. No, I was going to do something. I wasn't going to feed on any. Of those. OK, Yeah.

While they're resting. Yes. I'm sorry, I need to roll stealth and sneak up on the iPhone. OK. Yes, yes, of course. Yeah. Wait a minute. What? The fuck 16? I mean, if I'm asleep. Do I roll at advantage if he's asleep? Yeah, probably my passive. Wait, no, it's that anyway. Yeah, 16. OK. Yeah, my passive perception, I'm asleep, so. You got I am, I'm assuming, I'm assuming that you guys just have like sleeping rolls. Or something. I'll be sleeping in sleeping rolls and. Then. My motherfucking yeah. Fucking mess of a tent.

She's blind anyway. I'd probably like just like slumped against the long side of fire. I guess after that do I roll slight of hand it? Depends what you're doing. What are you doing? Yeah, you won't be rolling slight of hand. Yeah, you will be rolling attack. 1923 I take my dagger and I slit his throat.

I'm really sorry. I mean. I mean you won't instantly kill. Him. No, I. Thought you were gonna bite me. Sorry. What the fuck? Sorry. What is your damage on dagger? 1D4 plus. I get hunters marked as those. 6 plus decks. Oh hunters Mark, what the fuck say 11? You take 11 points of damage from Ivan and all the while. You hear? Get a second attack. You do, you hear? You hear the dark, cackling laughter.

Wait, I mean. Did you? Yes. Did you do hunt this Mark? Yeah. Oh, OK. Did you add the D6 on that first attack? No. Well, the D6. Well, then you'll. Need. Oh no, I did. I did I. Did, yeah. But I can I'd get a second. Attack, but you get a second attack, but you won't get involved, but you won't get. Violent yeah 15 + 6 but I don't get the D6 this. Time. No, it's just. This 4/6 and then because I summoned him before. Matchstick gets to go. 15 matchstick misses, 15 misses. How much health do you have left?

21 hit points left.

Your vision. If I do a vampire bite now, will that kill it? Shit.

Your vision begins to fade. You no longer see Borovia as everyone else sees it. You see it as Strad sees it. The land is beautiful. There is no clouds, no fog in the sky. It is a beautiful starry night. And you all you can hear from me is try again. Yes. Try again. What though wait? You are. You are awake. You. Yeah, roll initiative you can. Yeah, by all means, roll. Initiative. I be fair. I saw that. No, that was a five. I was gonna say I'm probably at disadvantage because that would be a surprise round, a surprise attack.

Rather yes, I say from worse I want 8. Buck, what do I add to it +5 did you 9? Straight away have. We been asleep. He was asleep. I was asleep. What? How long has it been? It's. I waited until we went to sleep and then I did. Yeah. Cool. So I rolled A9. So I get to attack him again, right? Yep, Yep. Hunter's Mark. Oh, Hunter's Mark. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Am I rolling advantage this time? No. Fuck I rolled an 80 but I get a second attack. You are because you are rolling advantage. It's matchsticks there.

20. Oh my God, did. I just create you. Yes. You know what, it probably occurs to me because you're dead. I have a shield, so that gives me +2. So my armour class probably 16 because I'm assuming I'm not sleeping in my shield if I'm even sleeping in my armour. I would imagine that you are sleeping in your armour. Because I've just slumped down. I just created you. You created. Me. Yeah. OK, right. So that's 2D eights and two D 60s. Yes. No D fours, sorry. Oh, and don't forget your Colossus Slayer.

2D8. There's 2D8. Hang on 2D fours. 2D fours, 2D sixes, 2D eights. I'm really sorry. You're not. You chose this. 45 to 628 damage. I'm down. Yeah, I'm down. Malice has no. Idea. Because. She's in another. Tent somewhere blind? But you have another attack. You have another attack 19. Two fails. So I go again. And it matched. It gets a turn advantage because I'm down. Well, they might. Have a four and a one so oh. God. You have one chance to redeem yourself. I roll like anything for like see if I hear.

Anything. You can do your feet away, you're asleep and you're blind. You went away from the camp, but like sort of like this is. Like quick enough that I could hear him. This is my perfect moment now. You can't. He can't make any noise. I slit his throat. OK, you. You're scuffling around. Like they. And he just pounced on me and just fucking. Going out, other people were dancing around and stuff, so. Yeah, they're kind of like over here. They retired from the camp. They're near the truth, but they're still you went this way.

Whoops. When you come back, you still won't know what's happened because I just won't tell you. Def save 13 is a pass 421 but now it's your turn again. So I'm just dead. This is fucking 18. Yeah I'm dead. Yeah, I'm just dead. I'm sorry. I'm just sorry. Like sorry on the ground. Just like why?

I'm really sorry. Straad made me do it. You'll understand. You'll understand. It'll all be clear. You'll understand. I can't wait to see what your fucking thing you come back with is. Straad made me do it. I promise you. I was told to do it by Straad. Straad. OK. Oh. My God, I go over to Malice's tent. What? No, Why? Why can't I go over to Malice's tent? As.

I sneak up to over to Malice's. Tent roll after you kill after you kill. I've, I think, make a stealth check. Stay honest. Call a perception check. The Vastani. 24. The Vastani. I love this game. The Vastani are none the wiser. It was a perfect silent strike. I'm off to Malice's 10th. What the fuck? 15 + 4 is 19. Yeah, your passive isn't going to hit that or notice that, so. So can you. Be surprised. Are you in some way unable to be surprised? I don't know, can I hunt as Mark Malice are? You killing, are you?

Killing. Yeah, I might as well get both of them. But me? It's the part I bided my time. I knew we should have killed her. Are you? Gonna tie his hands up so he's just like people. I'm not gonna bite people, OK? Great. From. Will's point of view, right? This is the perfect opportunity. You're separated. Yep. Like. Yep, you fucking go. You're weakened. This is this is the time and you'll be back and then you can yell at me then. Yeah, I'm sort of starting to heal us. I'm. Not gonna. I'm not gonna yell at you.

I'm gonna get you out the game. I'm literally just doing what I was. I'm going. I'm going to make you write off your character. I'm just doing what I was told to do and I'm already dead. So come up. No, I'm fine. For you, Roland, you are you are seen. They don't do anything about it because it's kind of natural that a party, a party member from like the group would naturally go over to the tent. But you are seen by a Vastani. Oh well, right, I'm going to go up to. Slip Malice's throat now. Sorry, babes, With Hunter's mark, is that an advantage?

Because I still have. Yeah, yeah, she's say Ultron. 13. 141516171819 yeah. And then I roll this one and this. 1.

Six. Wait, I'm asleep. Yeah, OK, that's fine. No, but I OK, Wait, wait. Wait, you're asleep. There's nothing. Oh. No, yeah. Oh hang on, when you hit a creature missing HP an extra 1D8 damage, you are missing HP 7. Lucky, lucky, lucky bitch. Did you get another attack? I mean.

You get another attack with the D4. Right. Yeah. Yeah, you don't have the DA or anything. I have to be able to see 2. 151617181920. 7. 8910 damage. When I'm dead, Yeah. I thought you had 11. Health. Yeah. And then you did 7. Damage you did. 7 and 10 right, No No 10 total. OK, well I've got one hit .000 but it's matchsticks 10 matchstick. Rolled. A10. No. OK, You're one hit point more Initiative 2118. You can't see me though. You don't know who it is. This attacking doesn't matter while in. Darkness.

You're invisible to any. Creature that relies on dark vision to see, but there's light. I can't see you at all. That's true, you can't. See me anyway. I know I like the the IT would just be. Disadvantaged to hit you not only not. Only are there is there like. A giant bonfire not far away from her, but she is quite close to Madame Eva's tent, which is surrounded by lanterns. And torture me anywhere doesn't matter. I slit her throat so she can't. Scream I love this game. This is amazing. I have not.

Planned for this. It's what you wanted though, no you. Said you wanted me to kill them both. Strad has his. Strad has his own game. To play which? You are playing fantastically. He doesn't want necessarily doesn't actually for what he commanded you to do. He doesn't want Malice to die. He wants her to be a concubine. If she dies, she ends up in his weird little spirit. World and then he can concubine all he wants. Maybe, maybe not. Depends. That's not my problem, this is. Easier than explaining to malice.

What happened? Oh. Yeah, no, the the Vasani got him. Oh. No, OK, I'm gonna. Attack with. My psychic blade. Using your keen. Sense is it I'm. Rolling with steady aim. That's it. Yeah. So I. Can get straight 17 my arm class. Is 15. Beautiful. I've got way more health than you though. Yeah, that's my. Love going down fighting, this is the first. Time I've I've ever seen. PvP yeah 78910. Damage. I. See shit. Bonus action Disengage. Fucking like it OK where you can't see doesn't matter runs into the in the what am I gonna do like.

What else am I gonna do? I'm not gonna. Die. I attack her with my bow. You can't. I've disengaged. Yeah, she's not. Yeah, she still. Shoot you I can shoot you with. Oh yeah, on your toe. Yeah, What you're trying to do, if you've disengaged, it's my go, right? Yeah, Hold on. Wait, no. Definitely. And can I hunt this market? Yeah, it it just stays on. So it stays on the 20 no roll a concentration check. I rolled A20. OK, fine. Yeah, yeah, you took a hunt. On I use. My lock. So you have to roll a disadvantage.

Oh. Shit. OK, so you lose your. Concentration so you don't. Have Hunter's Mark. OK, well, you can't just cast it again. I cast Hunter's mark. There. You. Go a roller. Advantage. Yeah, she's blind. Yeah, because I rolled up 1. You don't need to roll for Hunters Marcus bonus action. Unnatural 20 So I get to. Roll a D8. Yeah, yeah, D8AD4. Well, are you gonna kill me? Anyway, you I know if you. Roll A1. I know, sorry. I think you are. 7. 8-9. The Vasani all sing, and they are sweet. Oh well, I didn't know it was in front of the.

Vastani. She ran out of the tent. You followed I. Didn't know what direction she ran, I didn't. Ask I. The tent was pointing at the camp. I know. No, that's on me. I didn't ask. Avastani saw you. So the one that saw you? Has the one that was the one that was playing the accordion has stopped playing and then then I need to roll death saves you. Do. They all witness you. Strike down malice. Well, you does so, but they don't. Know why and I could lie. To well. He's getting another. Attack still you need to stop helping out.

I don't know why I'm. Helping. I just want. The rules to be done matchstick or for for you. You've got an extra OK, so 13. 14151617. 1819, but yeah, yeah, which is an automatic. Two hits or two fails. I know it's matchsticks Tone advantage 20.

I don't. I wrote so well. I don't. Think you understand it's coming away? I'm literally I'm just doing what doesn't. Matter strad slash Carl told me to do I'm sorry I don't know that I just I'm gonna kill you good luck your dad is a fairly mild mannered guy, but. I think he's I'm, I'm. Coming back and I'm. Gonna ruin everything me and that. Chick. Book it out of there now we go to 10 years. Cafe gotta run away from the versati. We hide up a tree. What now like? Presumably they're gonna bring. Us back I feel like in the spring I didn't just.

Kill you and end the campaign 'cause we died at the same time. We're in the spiritual world and I'm like I told you, we should have killed him. What did we invite him? Dead wheels run up. I told you I missed it.

Fuck it up. I did what I was told. What are you doing now, man? Why? Straw told me. I had to. In the spirit world, just like what the. What does I do? Malice pops up. Oh, hello, Malice. Too hot but you guys. Don't forget I could. See you guys. When I was in the spirit world, so now you can see with my head in my hands and I'm like rocking. I'm in a malice's tent having an absolute shit fit matchsticks like crying around me. You can see I'm really unhappy that I had to do. I look well with it feels like a deadness in my eyes.

I don't actually feel that sorry for him in. Fact. The next chance I get. Drop him off a Cliff. I'm gonna do it. You know what I'm gonna teach? Myself A. Revivified father or something so that I can. I can just do that again and again, Absolutely. I can tell you what you. Revivify, I'll push you have you have a ritual. Straw made me do the bitches little. Black. Maybe DO has the Crimson Benedictions ritual which is a ritual revivified but.

None of us. Got to fucking, didn't we? Yeah, I was gonna be part of my rest. Which is how? He was gonna bring back. Yeah, well, I'm in. This tent having a. Meltdown like straw made me do it. Straw maybe do it screaming in the spiritual world. Get on my fucking. Straws gonna tell them that he made me do it right You're your. Fucking mug.

I'm gonna. I'll say it like. I'm in the tent. I'm rocking. I'm like Straw, maybe do it and say, well, he made me cool, Ivan. He really just wanted to hump Malice. She's in a better place, actually. She. Like, like malice. That's the starting. Child is rubbing my. Pockets.

So now you're aware. That he wanted you to be. A concubine. And you're aware that Stroud told me to kill you? Are we? Yeah. I just said it. And you're watching me. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. So. When? Will delivers the killing blow to Malice, who is outside of her tent. So sorry, Will runs. Back. Into Malice's tent and she begins to rock and breakdown, and that's when you guys learn. And it was he. Begins to rock and. Breakdown. Sorry he when he begins to rock down. Breakdown and rock back and forth us when you guys learn that this was all under Strad's command, we was able to get back.

Maybe there is a way for? Us to get back. Whatever. Admittedly. He had to go through Strad. Maybe we have to go through Strad well. I don't. I don't recall it, but I don't believe we'll let on too much about what he had to go through. No, initially, he said there was. A doorway and that he made his way out for a doorway and then about 5 minutes later they'd made a deal with strides, which is like. So we're assuming we have to. Find Stride I. Don't know what we other. What do we see you? Are both.

You both. See the You see, right now you're still in Malice's tent, just in the spirit world. Yeah. The bodies are. Like, well, the fire is like WAVY, the colours are greyed into almost like a monochrome, kind of like noir esque style. The sounds, the sounds of the camp, What what sound there was is almost deafened to like a it's almost like is it's almost as if you've got like water in your ears. That's like, it's not my hearing. It's like muted. Like 4 weeks now. Yes, it's labyrinthitis. You need.

Antibiotics. Yeah, I know, but you've been. No. Idea how hard it is to find time to talk to a doctor when you work you can get them you go you just. Go to a pharmacy. Can I? Yeah. Doctors have found. That out to pharmacy, maybe I'll do that. It's like like the. Most the seven. Most of common afflictions for like people when you can can now be cured by pharmacists. Just go in and eat. OK, then I'll do that. Thanks for.

That update my. Gross body. It's not as gross as a as a follower of the the Dawn Father. Your events, as it were, are vastly different to what Malice is about to go through there. Sorry. Why did you? Snap the poppet down here. So it wasn't on the microphone and. Slam it back on the table because you went it's going to be funny. And I got angry.

So yeah, it's going to lead. Hopefully at least something will come out of this. The doorway. It's going. To come into it like the opening. The opening of the tent. Discuss. Myself.

Anyway, we have this much explicit. On Spotify, right? The opening of the tent. Begins to glow like whitish yellow, but only you can see that that seems fairly. What does doesn't. This. A glow. Coming from. The tent I'm assuming I just see black. When you when you look. When you you kind of like pair out. You don't. You can just see the camp.

And there are like Vastani. Hobbled and talking and like amongst themselves. As someone has just discovered Ivan's dead body near a tree, I would like to make a prayer to the born. Father to see if he can perhaps find myself. Yep, born father. Shit, it's got kind of real now. This.

Is obviously, he said. This is. Probably be it for me, but if you could maybe use your reach to find my soul and bring bring me to your own brace now must leave me here to become a minion of of the devil's Strat.

Not 20, not 20. You when? You pray. The the the opening to the tent, the light goes away and it leads into like this grand hall and as you. You're like. Almost transfixed by it. And as you step through, there's like. Like it's like a. Like this giant empty hall of mirrors. And the further that you go into it, the the mirrors enclose and envelope around you and you can no longer get back to the get back to Malice's tent. The Dawn Father in all of his heavenly presence appears before you. And it's like this.

He's like a ball of like white solar light. And as this as this like energy approaches you in the mirrors is Strad's like is the image of like Strad. And then, as as the ball of light is inches within you, the light fades away and Strad is standing right before you. You've not. I reached my garden. Your card. Has not heard a single word you have uttered since entering. You did roll in that 20, however. In Borovia people, clerics and clerics and paladins, people who are able to speak to a deity, go through Strat to do so.

He may or may not at His leisure, allow you to contact your deity, or He will interfere. Regardless of whether He interferes or not, upon making contact with your deity, He knows exactly where you are and exactly what you're doing. At no point. Have you ever been? Out of his reach or his radar fair. Enough. OK, he just. Laughs maniacally in your face. I did not believe that one little spawn could achieve and. He walks into a mirror. And fades away and you're going to claim my soul he's going to leave you just.

Going to leave you there. Absolutely this. Fucking guy. You just, you're just left there. As these, this hall of mirrors spin around you and like the sound of laughter fills your head and it's just your image and his image on every window and like mirror plane as it just spins faster and faster and faster as you eventually become a kaleidoscope of light. We're going to leave you in there for a little while. Fuck you. Fuck you fuck. You. I told you I'm going to. Kill him. From your perspective. I'm sorry, I doubt that you.

You made me do it. I wasn't like. This when you pick. Me up like when I started with you guys, it wasn't like true this initially he had absolutely no. Interested in talking to us whatsoever? Absolutely not. Petty thief, Yes. Yeah. It's not like I set out to kill you. As from your perspective. As as Ivan walks through the door, his soul fades away and he can no longer be seen and he just vanishes. What the fuck brilliant am I going to have? To. It's like a. Different accent. Now you still can't see, Can I?

Can I? I can't see. You can't. You can't see when you're done. So she doesn't. See him walk away and leave. He just, she's just on her own. You know what she's like Ivan. So she's had a really fucking. Rough 2 days. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. With with Soul Knife you use psychic energy slash a piece of your soul to contract the blade. And as you had learned in your last encounter, you get flashes of imagery when you throw your soul blade. You are no longer in your corporeal form, your soul like you are now your soul.

So you admit a constant like blip, kind of like a sonar. Now it's. Furious and. Angry and upset and having a hissifically lost and she doesn't know what's going on. I mean, she knows she's dead, but she's just like, I think she just sits down. She doesn't even know that. She doesn't even know it was me that did it, does she? Because she couldn't see she. Saw. Yeah, she ran away. She attacked you and ran. Away. Yeah, she does know at you. She used her soul knife. To attack you. Oh yeah, OK. Yeah.

She's just like stumped once you no in fact actually. I walk. I I I walk out of the tent because I don't want to be near Will and I that would give it. Away. I. I. Go. I go just into a fucking corner and I sit down and I just, just as you like, pull my legs up and I just sit there as you sit down.

As you so angry are. You still blind? Yeah. But I have like my. Soul night thing that's kind of like because it's. Only her soul, it's known like OverDrive, first admitting like a constant rate upping. So she doesn't get like, depth perception, but she does get, like, outlines of truth. And then there's like instant darkness. And then like, there's a person in front of her, like when Frodo's wearing the ring. Yeah, yeah. Think. Daredevil. How he sees Yeah, so as you. Sit down. Reality kind of folds in or away from you.

You like, you go to this log and you sit down. And as you sit down, you kind of fall through the log, fall through the dirt. And then you kind of feel turned upside down. Like, like, like, basically like the world flips. She opens her arms. And accepts and then as as you're. Like as you like open. Your arms and you fall. You feel your back. Here's something hard as you as you land in a chair, straths. Just sat there like you're in. And you're. You're sewn up here like guys going crazy and you or like it's weird because you almost start to get a little sense of colour like every other like flash is like a purple or blue or yellow, but it's only on those same things.

You see the you see like the bright red of the inside of Straths cloak and then you see the the lavender of the Raven loft Crest that he has like on his like on his like lapel and strad. Says nothing. Nothing. I have nothing at first. But he does lean forward. He pours a bottle, he pours you a goblet of wine, and then he just sits back and just asks in his we were trying making jokes about. Her landing just in strands naked lap. And then Matt said something about Florence Pugh and then we were like we're gonna have to edit this out.

But the whole time you were still talking. Now we have no idea if your microphone has picked up us whispering. Whispering. Yeah. So I'm not sure quite how we're. Gonna edit that. Leave it in, it's fine. What did you? Say does Matt? Yeah. Yeah, we'll have to listen to. It it's like an Easter egg, don't. Worry if it's. No. No, he was just talking about. What happens in Oppenheimer? Oh, OK, yeah. It wasn't anything. He wasn't being the only bit of the film I remember he. Wasn't being gross about Florence.

Pugh to me, because that would be weird. That would be weird. It really looked like you were going to reveal that. You had a face tattoo turning around then.

Life and soul. Welcome. I just start. I can't see anything. I I I again. I I. Because I can see the flashes of colour. I, I, I stare directly where I can see him. She she settles back in her chair, pushes her. Legs out. And she stares, a dead stare. And there is a. Staring. Match. But she's going to win. Because she can't. She. Doesn't need to blink. I assume your rivals. Still get itchy? Get dry. Will is hiding. Yeah, he's gone into. Hiding. In the forest. I'll leave you guys some snow much for a SEC so.

In the back in the real world, the Vastani have had a discussion and they've gone over to Eva's tent and she has instructed a search be let out. There are. 15. Grand total of. 15 able bodied Vestani and they're split off into groups. The first the first group go into Malice's tent. I'll roll stealth with slight ham but I'm up a. Tree. And therefore they can't see me. Oh, I thought you were still in the tent. No, I left the tent. I said oh OK instead of him in. Hiding all right, right, right. OK, well then never.

Mind well they see they see Malice's they see Malice's body and they pick her up and they lay her out in front of the the campfire where next to Ivan's body the third group did they see me kill her or just. See me near her one. One Vastani. Saw you enter her tent. OK, could I not like? I ran out into the middle of. The campsite and you shot me down. Yeah, but who saw me? Just the. One Vastani. Told me shoot her down, yeah. OK, like you have been seen they. They know it's you. No, that's fine. I was just gonna feign that I. Too had been.

Attacked but I survived. But if they know it's me, there's no because of imbalances. I don't know what persuasion I have. No, someone attacked. Me. I could try and persuade them, yeah. Yeah, OK. So. You actually. Kill her. Yeah. So I I'll. Cover myself in so you're but you're like invisible, right? Yeah, in dark vision. Yeah, well, they. Don't. Have. Well, they don't have dark vision. And they are. Using torches to illuminate the tree line because OK, but if I'm going to cover. Myself in blood and then feign that I've been attacked.

It doesn't matter if they see me. You would need to damage yourself to cover. Yourself in blood because you're nowhere near a body? That's fine. So attack yourself. I don't know if he stabbed. Malice to death, he's. Probably covered. I kill, I slit your throat and then. Stabbed and then slit malice, so I'm probably quite bloody. It was, it was. It was. It was a. It was a clean kill. I bet you know you didn't. Like quite fucking stick on them on. Top and then fucking like butcher them like you snuck in like a proper assassin.

Like the blood went away. OK, So what do I roll to damage myself? Just stab yourself. You just. See four of damage, Yeah.

Three. OK, you take. Three points of yeah, you take 3 points of damage as you open up, open up your wrist, begin to like. Bubble all over yourself. Right. Then I. Run out. Fucking insane. I ran out screaming. I love how. New. I mean, you didn't get the chance, but I didn't even try to talk her down. It was just she's. Going to kill me. I'm going to. Kill her. I I run out Him. It's a him, him. Sorry. I run out screaming. Would you like guidance on that?

You're not. Going to give it to me, are you? He's dirty. I'm dead. I. Can't I'm? Dead. I've captured a weird. Phantom hall of mirrors Strat. What if I? Right, so I can add I can make it either an 11. But there's nothing else I can. Add Is there other? Than performance or persuasion, they're the only two it's.

Not going to work on my favour. All right, I'm going to try it. See how the? Conversation goes. Help. Help.

Help. I'm like crawling along the floor. Being really dramatic so they they are suspicious of you. That's fine. One of the Vastani. I go over to you, you slotted your companions. I didn't pulls out his lungs or don't. Lie to me, I saw. You why? Why would you do this? I didn't look I've. Been attacked too and he. Looks towards the other one. His He looks towards the other captain and the other and the other captain looks back towards the bodies. Matchstick has a limp. He's like. Deception about 19.

OK, plus. 2. Is 20. One breakout that, is he going to say the hurt? Dog, he can resist a sick. Puppy exactly. The one. That doesn't believe you. Binds your hands. They didn't even ask me any. Questions. You will be bound and then you'll be. Interrogated, he will tell us what happened, what's snuck in, how it's snuck in, and how you somehow were left alive. This isn't a nice way to treat a victim. My. Friends are dead. We've got apparently.

I mean, Oh, no, no, you. Told me that they've been slaughtered so. Excuse. Me even. I mean, we saw you. You. Didn't. Saw you enter. We saw you enter. Her. I have a really good reason for that. I'm listening. We're in love. Yeah, we're we're. Lovers, can I roll deception again? Yeah, I really want. To. Come up and. So I don't know how to I don't know, I don't know how to work. I can get them to restore us delay I'm. Gonna roll it for you do. I roll perception. At advantage or disadvantage, roll it.

It's just a flat roll. It's heard the lie. That was. 8-9 The. Stats are. Against you right now. Flat Personal. Perception, but you're not sure. They don't believe you. She has a. Birthmark on the inside of her. Left thigh shaped like a spoon

is. That accurate to malice. 'S character, but they're not going to check. 'Cause she's a lady. I'll show them. I mean, you're dead. It won't. Take much to to decide. That's a lie, but they're not going to. Lift up her skirts. Are they? If you if you if you claim if. You claim. That you heard that you know her intimately. I do. And if you claim that she has this birthmark, then by your by all means show us I heat. Up a spoon in the. Fire as I. Pass and I disadvantage. 18. 14.

What is? That's DEX. Is that Perception's decks out? Isn't it Wisdom? Wisdom. So not only did you kill me, but. You're not. One captain, 1 captain more than. 19. You have been seen trying to heat up a spoon.

It's because I knew you would never believe. Me, but I. Swear we were lovers. I start crying, I loved her so much.

Malice. Your handed. Words will not. Save you here, cracks you on the. Back of the head and. You fought your knees, you don't think any damage or anything. It's fine. It's just kind of like a forceful blow. It seemed unnecessary and. They they bind you you. Literally don't have any proof and she was my. Lover. He was my lover too, somewhere in the. Spirit realm that I'm. Trapped in like every bad fucking headache. The fuck? What the hell? Did she say what is? Happening. They gag. You with. Like, no, well, she ended up that doesn't protect.

Too much. It was strong. Hang on, that would have been a. Really good. Fucking way. To go to start with, was it was strong. He attacked us. Yeah. And then he fled. Hang on, hang on. I'm gagged. Yeah. Yeah, sure, you're shoving your own. Hand in your. Mouth. Enough of your 100 words. I need words.

God did it. She's my lover. So is he one of these? Stories is true, I'm sure. Which one, however? Thanks, can someone revive it?

So we'll. Deal with malice. 1st. Just normally free. He's limping. He's being tended. To he was freaking you don't know. That.

My stick wants as you grow up across the cat. Flips you off. I was getting a manicure on the other board. I don't like the. Muscles to see if like, anything's broken. I don't like the situation I've found. Myself in really. Well, Strat gets up from. The small table and he goes behind, he walks behind you and he puts a hand on your shoulder and keep my head straight ahead. Light, light and colour and. Natural vision return to you.

He completes the socket and he sits back down.

I have given you back your sight. And I apologise greatly for my subordinates misbehaviour if you don't. Remember the name of the? One that did this to you? I will. I can assure you vengeance will be carried out. Do you remember the name? It's no exciting, it's fun and all, but this is. I'm I'm.

I think. Say you maintain yourself. I. Stare at him. For a little bit longer, I don't really know. What I want to do? Honestly. I think I just look away. The one that took your life. Well. I turn back he. Tell me more was not meant. To kill you. I am deeply, deeply troubled, panicked by this. I panicked. I got confused. Why did he do it? He was ordered. Only to kill. The holy man, you were supposed to bear witness. And he waves his hand over the. Table as I met as the map of Barovia begins to like rise out of the wood.

This land. Needs an air and I am tired of life and it needs and. It needs. A strong queen to rule in my absence, I. Wanted so much for this land to be. A land of strength and a land of beauty. And he looks. At his hand as it, as it like. Begins to decay, but the Dark powers have tainted me too much and I can no longer give the people what they deserve. And he looks at you and he. Almost reverts back to his his living elf like features is no longer like ash and grey. And I wanted to give it to you, for your beauty has struck me.

No.

No. You feel. Whatever way you want with it, no. I'll tell you, man. He sweet talks you into giving you. What you want like Malice has. So. Much loyalty. For only one person and it is not him. It's. Me. It's Ivan. It's Ivan's horse, Ivan and that decribbered. Horse I I look at him and. As. Lovely. As that. Sounds it's. Lovely that he's being forcibly knocked up, Sounds. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to look at him. And I am going to say I will never stand by you. I will never want to Ouch sick.

But you have hurt people. You've destroyed this place. He gets up and. Leaves the table. And as he walks away, the last one to say words like this to me was my dear, sweet Titania. And he gets up and he walks away when you spare his. Feet, I spit his. Feet as he. Walks away, I spit his. Feet and I say it's no. Wonder as he walks, as he walks away. The table. The table fades away, the chair fades away, colour fades away, and you are left in a lifeless void of darkness. Oh, you're in this? I think.

I think. There is obviously, obviously Malice would rather be alive, but there is a part of her that is like, I would do anything else but listen to him. I thought you. Wanted to be as concubine. Clearly not. Why she? Said that. Like a. Million times as a. Joke. The only reason I'd ever even bait the idea was to get near him.

I've been told that the. Castle. Is. Far too overpowered. Right now. So when you hear the. Last. Echo of Strad's footfall. You then begin to have these hallucinations, almost like flashbacks, but these are events that didn't happen, or rather, you're remembering them in the worst outcome possible. There's an there's an event when you were younger, when the the noble, the noblewoman Morwin was nearly assassinated. You saved her life. But in the. Flashback. You failed and you hear Mormons death scream as it echoes like from the edge of your hearing and like a wave and it crescendos and then it fades back out as it like as the wave passes over.

And this happens constantly. So you're nothing so that you're in pure darkness where all you're hearing is the one that you are most loyal to dying on repeat as you remember. All right. But that's that that time, that assassination time. That's when I was that's when I learned that I could use so knife. And then I threw it. And then I was the one that killed her because I threw no, but that's not how I remember it because the assassin killed her. But no. And it's like all of these different times that you were employed to do something for the for the for the nobleman is kind of poisoned and manipulated and twisted into into like an event where you are responsible directly for either badly injuring or killing the the noble woman.

Yeah, I think I. And that. That is your help. Yeah, I think I I. There's silent tears just running down my face. I don't. There's not any sobbing or I'm just silent. And I'm shaking and I'm just curled up in the. Tightest ball but I can get in and just hugging myself. I'm in pure hell.

And with that. We will end the episode. I'm so sorry there's any. Mirrors in the middle world. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I can't. Believe how well I rolled. I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. This is this is the first time. I've ever seen PvP, you might as well just kill him. And be done with it. Just we'll do something. Else sit on my own for a bit. But that's what I felt. Like when he killed me off. But I'm sorry you were there like but like. No, you guys. Are fucking around with carts and getting blinded and all kinds of stuff while I was dead.

What, playing D&D you were like. That's my boy. I'm sorry you. Made me do it my. God, I got confused. With you, I'm not going to lie, I thought. I was meant to take you both out. You're collateral damage. How does that make you feel? I didn't even mean to go. It's karma for being a bitch, I told. You. You will be. Writing up a new character that's just I told you, karma's a bitch and so is Malice. It is come to a hell. Man. Right on that bombshell like comment, subscribe follow us on Spotify.
