Strahd 2: Clouded View

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 cautious. 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 heavenly, your soul is now trapped.

High atop a mountain peak sits Raven 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 day. Welcome Lords, ladies, nobles and serves. Prepare your spirits to be marred as we enter the curse of Stroud. Hello everyone and welcome to Is that a Six or nine podcast made by idiots For idiots, I guess. Well, I'm the only one who. Listens. Straight up. We are continuing on with our campaign of the cursor Strad woo. I am Carl, I am your DM.

I am joined by. Maria Nicholson playing will be shady. Eva, that girl. What's your fucking name, babe? Just one of them. Your real name bag all the time. You fucked up my name. No, I don't remember. Oh, it's Axel slaves. Actual I'm it's it's Malla Seinfeld. Malla Seinfeld. Nice, nice. It's. Got to do that. Quick recap last time. Getting on. Last time on the cursor Stroud, the campaign opened to Ivan Dankill's Well, the head of his religious order. Receiving a weird vision, he goes to the Duchess's house and then asks for help.

She reluctantly gives her an aid. Does. Anybody else think it was weird that the leader of my church had a vision but don't know when I got something out to do with? The That's not the first thing you thought you. That's how they work. It's OK. Blind faith is a there's an issue. And then the party met up with a gnome. You had your first set of interactions with the with a mysterious group of people known as the Bastani, who haven't introduced themselves properly yet. Because admittedly you people didn't answer my kind of questions, but that's OK.

I don't know, they were coaty and weird and I just didn't. Very coaty and very weird. I. Found them very hospitable. Because no, no, don't worry it. Feels like you're going to say something to me. What did I do something? I was just going to say something about blindly following.

It works with the religious guy, OK. Are you OK? Well, made his way around the camp. He made himself a nice tiny little prophet by stealing the the traveller's belongings.

You're a bad person. You you were treated to a wonderful, like a wonderful like exotic meal and feast. And there was entertainment the the leader of the camp, Stanami. He told a story about his Land's history and where his like his Lord came from. And. He played with the fire and stuff and he gave you a rough direction of where to go next, which was E into the woods. You guys went E the woods? You mean camp? And then when you woke up in the morning, you realise that the fog that had come into the camp in the night got really fucking thick.

And then the trees did not look the same as the same trees that you guys made camp on camp on at the night before. And it is here where we begin. These trees look weird. Yeah, yeah. Can I do like A just a general perception, like does the sky look normal? Does stuff like that A? Little guidance that have yourself a default. Oh thank you. I will use that one, not the 8910111213 you. What do? You draw, I see. She leans forward and and tenses like she's going to take a little chicken.

She gets those little glasses out on a stick and looks. Around. Like theatre?

So the you can only ever you can only ever barely see up to 5 trees in front of you. Dope. The fog is like a wall. The the sky is overcast and grey. That is a it's daytime. But the light, either by either by some other fantastic force or just how fit thick the fog is, the light is dim, is very, very overcast, very, very grey. I think we need to stay close together to get lost in this obscuring Foster. Yeah. No, there's no darkness to be pairing into, it's just the area within the fog is heavily obscured.

How high is the fog sitting? Because I'm pretty sure. It's heavily obscured, I'm gonna assume. Ground, ground level to sky.

Does anybody have any way of knowing? Did you say is it mist or is it fog it? Is a thick fog heavily obscure? Get your get your get your jar out. Sorry, excuse me. I mean the purple thick stuff get. Your thick purple. I don't. Know I don't know the way she's talking.

To me they said something about the fog and using the potions that you no. I have those potions. I stole those potions so they wouldn't. Know, I know. I rolled for it. Oh, so you know I. Watched you steal. Them maybe I need all four potions to myself. I'm not sure why I should trust you or or share. By all means, please go ahead on your own.

He begrudgingly throws a bottle. I He very kindly, graciously hands a butt. Alter, Ivan. Thank you will much appreciated. But you're welcome. Thank you very much appreciated. He says whilst throwing a look at fucking mallet. We're all getting along nicely. This is nice this. Is nice I'm. He's a bit simple, ain't he? I pulled the stopper on the cork. Give it a sniff. Oh. Malice's. Necked it without knowing what it is or what it does. We're very used to just drinking what we're given in the in the other campaign.

So the thick liquid has no. Smoke OK, I'll drink. She necked it. Yeah, I I took what the guy said and I was like, OK, this is what I. Need I'm Sammy. I'm like, it feels like a really thick syrup. I'm savvy. I'm waiting to see what effect it has on them before I put anything on my mouth. You feel no different. Yeah, I I stroke, you know. Can I walk towards the fog? Yeah. Anything happen? How far are you walking? No. When I move up, is the fog dissipating as I move within 5 feet or is it am I walking into fog?

How? Far you're walking. And I like 10 feet.

This is rivet in you. Cautiously, as you, as you walk into the fog, the fog, the fog doesn't do anything. It doesn't, it doesn't. It doesn't like move away from you, nor does it clear. It doesn't get any thinner. It remains the same heavily obscured thickness. Anything. The further away from the camp where you the further away from the party that you travel, you begin to feel a little bit more unease. I'm going to back up back into the I don't think this is the right fog. Maybe we don't need to drink them.

You know, well, I guess better safe than sorry. Yeah, I didn't drink mine. I was waiting. I'm waiting to see what affect us and two are you let's. Let's just stick close together. You find something is affecting using well, we find something is affecting us. We drink our potions. Yeah. But let's let's press on. So something new for not only this campaign, but also for is that a 619 in general? We have a map, ladies and gentlemen. I drew a map once.

I drew a map once. We have a map of Oh my God.

Wow, Morovia. This. Is Corovia. This is the world in which you are now trapped in until you find your way home. Did. You say trapped. Is that did the narrator just say trapped nobody? Else hear that? The rate just said trapped and that means characters do not know but players do. Guys, well, we're on our way to Barovia anyway. We'll keep, we'll keep pressing on. Yeah, maybe we. We'll just keep. Forward. Yes, we stick. We stick close together. We'll press on. Eventually we'll find some kind of settlement, I imagine.

Yeah, as long as we're staying within 5 feet, we should be good. Yes. As you aimlessly well, there is no path for where you are. As you aimlessly stumble through the woods, time passes by going. To make a survival check to see if I can figure out direction right, you're going. You can indeed make a survival check. In fact, everyone can make a survival check if they wish to. Noise 15. 19 Nice. OK, you all feel, you all immediately feel something is off. You've been walking around in circles. God.

Fucking damn it. Damn. It for the least the last half hour.

This is her fault. Who's been leading what I was. Walking forward, Yeah, it's your fault. You will. You went ahead, you drank the stuff, and this is all your fault. It's nobody's nobody's fault. Fog is obfigating.

Stunned like there were no me feet. We are. We are wandering around in the dark with the dorm father. As as you, as you all, as you're all travelling around, well, make a perception, Jack. You couldn't remember my name. You could tell from the liquid face. Oh, bollocks. Ow. 17 Oh, but it was a good role. What are you trying to be dirty for? What my role in? Perception. 17 OK. Yeah, I really. You come across a hidden bundle hidden in the underbrush. Do you choose to open it? Yes, obviously I give it to.

Malice and tell her I found a gift for her. I Mal does not believe it and takes a step back. I chase after her when they're outstretched to my arms. Please accept my forgiveness and accept this gift. Can I roll Persuasion 14?

I don't have a very good girlfriend, no. She's not a very charismatic bitch. I I say, ah, a perhaps a bridge being built A. Token of my forgiveness. Yeah, well, excellent. This is this is excellent. Progress. Simple mind. If I die, this is not in the campaign. If I die right now, I'm going to kill you. Bring it. I take the bag you. Remember the you remember the Duchester's words echo in your head. If she dies, do not return the Neverwinter.

So my assumption is malice is going to open the git. I, I slap out the head. No wait, no, I'm going to put it on the floor. I'm going to get. I'm going to step. You're insulting me, Dagger. And I'm. Going to throw it at it that. Is so insulting. You just killed a baby. Well done you. Monster good, don't need anymore. What is in the bundle? I'm not terrified. The the dagger just bounces off the bundle. OK, I'm just.

Yeah, it's baby. OK. OK, I see, I see. I told you, baby killer. I pick the dagger up. I open the bundle. OK, the bundle contains one set of common clothes sized for a human adult. See, it would have been fucking useless. I am not changing. You might just need these later on. These might be helpful. Whose? Clothes with these is somebody. Oh yes, that is the first. Question we should have I make them somebody. Just dropped them here by accident or is someone walking around well? It's about their clothes.

It was in like a leather bundle so my assumption is it was someone was travelling with it and they dropped it. Get the clothes, I thought I'd shake them as. AI don't actually know, but as as a woman of average size I thought that you might You might need these at some point. The ball gown might get in the way, and it doesn't hurt to just have a backup for disguise or camouflage or role play. This is made for all occasions. I was just trying to do something nice. This is a gratitude. Look, I tried.

OK? I'm done. I'm out. I'm done. I quit. You're a bitch, but I'll try it. And she's not, I've been, she's not having it. No. Still, is it so bad that I do not trust you yet? Yes. I just gave you a gift to try and keep the people. You gave me a pile of old clothes. I don't have anything else to give and you have escaped your attention.

I already gave you a potion. You have pocket. It gave me a potion so my fault you didn't check it out. Just necked it then just. To bridge my nose again, I just walk off into the fog. No, I'm going to I turn around and I storm off like kick in the dust as I go. She. Pissed me off. Yeah, because I tried and she goes. I'm grateful. Same direction as me I assume. Don't give me fucking attitude on the other side of the table.

And I'm. Just going to.

Whisper weird things in your head because you don't know it's me. I know I do have that. I'm not going to do it though. Do you know? I hear weird things in my head anyway. Was there anything in these clothes? No. No, just some clothes. Just some. Clothes. That's weird. It's weird that it's. Just some clothes, enjoy them. I'm going to put it on the floor a minute. Can I smell them? Alex, You're. Going to smell them.

You've got to smell them properly.

Investigation check. OK.

Investigation on the clothes. Fucking 3. Come on 8. That's really important. He's ranking clothes we've had in the woods. Do you never find a pair of trousers in the woods and think, Oh yeah then? Oh. Mate, no, they fit me. I like these. So eight. Yeah, they're they're, they're well worn. Yeah. Yeah, they're well worn. There's some fur on them. You don't know where the fur has come from, but you can see. Them on that fur Oh. She's so ungrateful I tried. Some some clothes that clearly belongs to someone who is super.

Yeah, but you're missing my point. My point is that I thought they might come in helpful because we're walking around and forested in a bloody ball gown. I was trying to be helpful. I'm trying to do something nice. I'm not having it, man. No what I. Don't know what's. Going on, I've never seen that hand gesture in my life. I. Guess so for that shit. You invented that hand yesterday. Got another one for you. Another one. A deep voice calls out from the, from the, from the fog. Who goes there? What?

Through the chill mist you see a large man in drab clothing wearing a tattered grey cloak. He has shaggy black hair and thick munch OPS. He leans heavily on a spear and has a small bundle of animal pelts shown slung over his shoulder. I call out in a girly high pitched voice again. My name is Malice. Sew me out, you little bitch. Sew you out. I didn't sew you out. He's. Just ungrateful. I'm mad. I. Just have to go forward, separate myself from them. My name is Yvonne Donkiel. We're he's my friends.

We're travellers in this land, strangers. Perhaps you can help us find our way. The the man eyes you up and down, then he locks, and then he looks at the two people that you're with.

How did you get here, stranger? We, we were funny story, actually, we, we set off from Neverwinter where we made camp in the woods. And when we woke up, we were in a, a different part of the woods and we're surrounded by this, this thick fog. We've been wandering around, I think in circles for some time. Maybe as I perhaps you can help us if you're a local here, we're perhaps looking for a settlement. Or someone who's not wearing clothes because we found. Some Oh yes, we did find some clothes. I'm concerned that someone's walking around, perhaps butt naked all.

This like we. Found some. Clothes stuff, maybe I bought them with me and gave them as a gift. You guys didn't know that? We saw each above with a bundle. You've kicked it a few times saying what the fuck is this? But I'm the best pick pickpocket criminal thief in the world, so just to accept it, he. And he looks, he looks around and he's like, oh, there's, there's a world back that way. And he points over his shoulder and like, he starts to get a little bit agitated and he's he's looking around are.

You OK my? Friend. No. You said you found. You said you found clothes. Yeah, and. It's just three of you, yeah.

Yes. And there's no one else here. We we, we haven't seen. Anybody now he he he, he drops the he drops the pelts and he snaps the spear over his knee and he rolls out a like a death war and he transforms into a hybrid werewolf. Please everybody roll in this game. God damn. It. Oh no. Bollocks, I'll drop my dice. It's. Gaining away. 23. I got the 9:00. It's OK here on that one will set us up. I How close am I to it 'cause I got a Longbow? You are with Longbow you're you're in disadvantage range He is he is like 5-6 feet away from from Ivan and you're only like 3 or 4 feet away from him.

So you would need to move back a good like 10 feet to get ideal range on your Longbow. Oh. You're so you're a gloom stalker, right? I. OK, so when you make your first attack you can basically do an extra weapon attack. So if you shoot him with your boat, you can then shoot him again. Essentially, if you cast Hunter's Mark on 1st, his bonus section. OK. Then you do an extra D6 and damage I think. OK, well then I'll do Hunter's mark. Come, I guess. Stop. You stop with the dagger if I'm close enough.

Stop, Stop the dagger. Stop. I have to roll to hit, don't I? You do have to roll to. Hit see, I've learned something in all of this. Yeah, well, I'm a Bard in the other one, so it's like. You still only ever attack people with a fucking dagger. I missed, I think it's like it's 6. I remember the circuit. I guess that's my go. Yeah, I think about I. Go to stab him with my dagger and miss completely. Who's next? Malice. Cool. I'm gonna I go to some like pockets in the back of my dress and I pull out two scimitars.

The wonder of a ball gown.

It's amazing what you can keep in it and then I'm going to so I can sneak attack some and allies in one in five feet, which we all are cool. What the fuck is? That 13, well, I can with a scimitar, it has nick, which means with my other scimitar I can do an extra attack and I can do 6 attack again. 16 + 6 so that's three D6 damage damage, not a. Draw my pistol, pull back the hammer, pull the trigger. But he's standing right in front of me. So instead of actually firing a bullet at him, I'm going to utter a prayer as I pull the trigger, and I'm going to cast sacred Flame so he has to make a Dexterity safe.

7. That's a fail as he launches that at me and everyone starts just wailing on him. I like to prayer to the dawn Father. Dawn Father, please blast your radiant light in the face of this aborted creature. There's four damage. I have more meant arranged combat as a boss so as I could try to back up pretty strong. Let's see how this see how it holds up to this. OK, so mice you when you swung in and you like deep cut across his chest and then Ivan shot him in the face. He seems to his part, but it was the slash that more pissed him off.

He's going to go for a lunging bite.

She moved away. He said, Oh no, that's right. Yeah, you did. Yes.

That's. What she thought she goes like this? OK. Yeah. No change target change time swing at Ivan with with scratching. Why do I keep anyways 5? 7. Nope. Misses the first swing. Duck. 16 Yes, sorry 19. I duck his first swing, stand up laughing too slow. Wow. Fucking second point, but nine points. Just like. It's still. Well. I. I go to the top. Your tongue. Is he still too close to use a Longbow? Yeah, you're steady right next to him. Yeah. Then stabby Stabby with the donkey. Daggy 14. Misses. Fuck's sake, how strong I was a werewolf fright, not like a hairy old.

Man, my mind is. We're fighting like a hairy old man. Gross. Is that right? There's 15. 15 there. You go, OK. So you do your D4 and you do a D6 as well. So 4 damage and then five cyclic damage. So now he's ouched and crazy. Oh I can tell you what it does. Extra Attack with a light property weapon is as part of the Attack action once they. Turn Oh so you can attack. Again 16 hence is. 4 Cool. Yeah, I'm going to go muscle materials again. 15. That's $16 12 + 6 612 Oh, nearly full damage, 2021 bonus action disengage.

Sweet. I'm not going to back up, I'm just going to blast in a close range of a gun. Boom 19. 19 hits.

Slowly because I rolled A-15 damage. That is all. He only had one HP left. As soon as I knew it here, I was like, OK, how does he die? So yeah, he swung at me. I dug the first one and he clawed me with the second one. Everyone kind of stabbed into it and ran away and I'm like fuck this and just gone straight up under the chin and just. So sick. The werewolf's headless like his body falls to the. Forefather deserve us. Do we know what this is? No. A man.

A man turned into dog, this is. A werewolf. This is an abomination. This is This is the type of creatures that the dorm father sends us up to deal with all the time and I wonder if. Fought one of these before. Yes, rarely. But I wonder they're not as often a lot. I wonder if perhaps there are other other werewolves, perhaps other members at the back nearby we may have angered. I got a group. Yeah. Where we need to. We need to be on our toes. He said about a road, right. Maybe we should just. Sit behind him and when he falls back, when the when the body falls back, the the fog on the on the floor does clear ever so slightly when the body like hits the ground.

And he was not lying. He made it sound like it was fucking like ways away, but like literally right behind him is a very clear dirt path that leads W like when you're going to like actually like analyse and stare at the road. You do see that it is like, obviously the fog is like thicker on this path because it's cut into the earth and there's no way for like the passing like wind to like disperse it. So it does look like there's like a like a trail. OK, now that you know what you're looking for, it's very easy to see.

We'll, we'll take this. And yes you can. You can loot all investigations. 15 I'll. Guidance you. Nice, I. Was going to guidance myself as pointless. So naturally you obtain the sack of pelts that the wolf had. He had some. He had a dire wolf pelts, 2 normal wolf pelts, and a raven's beak. Oh, does. Anybody think it's strange that these these werewolf? Scary Wolf comes What's this? Think of the weird to you. So he's killing other wolves? Werewolf. Dire Wolf Normal. Wolf, so Normal Wolfer, Dire Wolfer, Raven Beak and you have picked up three pieces of the local currency here.

Face is of strut. It's his own currency that he made for this land. Well, I'm gonna Disney bugs. I'm gonna, I'm gonna put it in the platinum bit, OK? How many losers 3? The back to the wolf thing. Maybe he killed the wolf that made him a werewolf because he was pissed off about it. Maybe. Maybe, you know, you kind of just skinned a dead wolf to make it look like he was something that he's not. Oh my God he's a fucking crypto bro. Fucking Bitcoin, mate.

With that travelling W the tall shapes loom out of the dense fog that surrounds everything. The muddy ground under foot gives way to slick wet cobblestones. The tall shapes become recognisable as village dwellings. The windows on each house stare out from pools of blackness. No sound cuts the silence except for mournful sobbing that echoes through the streets of a distance. You have you approach the village of Barovia, which also has it on a little map. Yeah, made. A bad sensation from this town.

So there are a plethora of houses like it is big village lots. Of crying coming from certain buildings is. There a town? OK, so the wrong perception. 11 investigation. 18 perception. Nice, thanks. I've. Got 3-4 sorry. I did say your character was a bit simple. I feel like I'm not rolling higher than a fucking 6 today. You see, Will begrudgingly points out that there is a you know, the church on the northwestern side of the town. There's a church on the northwestern side of the town. In the centre, in the in the centre of the village itself, there is there is a shop, there is a mercantile shop and there is a Tavern.

Nice. I'll bet we head to the Tavern. Well. Where is it? Tomorrow sound like that crying's coming from. It sounds like it's not our problem the. Crying is coming from it sounds like it's coming from the centre of town. Is that near the Tavern? It's near the shop, It's across the road from the Tavern. OK, I guess we had. Towards both of the centre of town. Yeah. Tavern, Tavern. Did you make your way in? There are shades of shades of people are just watching you from behind curtains and broken windows.

Every now and then you hear like shutters slam. The two kids come, the two kids come running out from one of the houses as you're as you're making your way into these centre of the town and they look at you and all the all the blood drains from their face and they stand. They just stand stuck, stare like stiff right in front of you as you are like walking towards them and then they scream and then they run back inside. Strange.

I in my mind it's like solid fingers animation style. You're about 3, you're 3 houses away from the Tavern and the Tavern in the shop where a child is sitting hunched next to a wall and he's got like a fork and he's just stabbing himself in the leg. But he's like staring straight ahead. And he's been doing this for a number of days, which is evident because there was a small pool of blood like around his legs. And it's just continuous, just. I think this. Need this. Might need to have a trigger ward.

I go over a nail in front of the kid, but a hand on his shoulder. My my friend, are you OK? What is? What is the problem? And this man comes bowing out from his house. Get away from my child, you freak. What you do? What are you doing? I stand up with like hands like raised like sort of like passive like my, my apologies. The child seems to be in some sort of distress. I kind of like pull back the sort of lapel of my coat to reveal my breastplate, which has got like like a image of like the son with like a wizard face in the middle of it, like a standard's face because he is.

It's the dorm image of the dorm father, basically. Make an inside check on the child. I don't know about malice, but I'm standing here looking just. Absolutely horrifying. Just 22. You as you look at him and you assess the like the the obvious damage on his leg, there's something that is amiss here This child has not crying. This child does not appear to be in any pain whatsoever is. There something wrong with the boy. He's he's he's he's he's fog bone and said here's nothing that you need be concerned about.

You, you you're outside, you're with, you're with the Vestani. And he spits on the floor as he mentions the Vestani and he just like drag his his child back into the house. Wait. Wait wait, it was the Vestani that sent us here to try and help with with something. You'll find you'll find no friend, no friend or ally in this town, no, as long as you're has sided with them and the dreaded Lord himself. We've we do not side with them. We're not signing with them. They told us how to get here, but. Turns down to the boy and he like throws them in and like closes the door.

I I can, I can heal you, boy, you're. Not you're not you're not with with the them. Absolutely no. They they sent to see my friend here. He he robbed them blind.

Check his pocket full of that stuff. I, I I can. I can heal you, boy. Heal the wounds in his legs. Perhaps that will help him. Forgive me as such kindness is not not known in these lands. Not, not, not anymore. Not not worthy without Please, my name is bad talk. Welcome to the he's.

He's never seen Bartok. A lot of people haven't. Great film. It's properly crap but I love it still. Yeah, the nostalgia. Yeah. Bartok was the bat. And Anastasia. Yeah. He got he got a spin off. Movie. Yeah, it was so good. Frazier in it or something? Yeah, had Cassie Grammar in it. Yeah, who we hate. Yes, he cheated on his wife with an air Hostess, moved her out of their home, and then filed for full custody of his children despite having not seen them for a year out of choice. He's a scumbag. Don't think about being a podcast that's not label probably.

It's fine. It was all documented on and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, so it's out in the universe already. OK, so. They and Bravo can do it. Proven that he's just come back neat. Yes Bartok, my my friend, my. I apologise for startling you and your child.

This is this is OK. This is this is a strange land to my my friends and I. Did you? You mentioned an Eve, did you not? The threaded The threaded Lord, yes. Threaded Lord I am I. I do my work for the Dawnfather. He works through me, He guides me and allows me to shine his light in the in the darkest of places. Perhaps this is something I can do to help your village. I have been sent by my chaplain to find a a Church of the Dawn Father that has fallen on hard times. Perhaps you might know where this is.

Perhaps if I can find this church I might be able to help your village. I don't, I don't, I don't know much. I don't know what you speak of with this dawn father, but we do have the morning Lord and Mother night. They they watch over us. They should watch over us and they should protect us, but they've not hurt us for a number of years. Can I do a religion check on those names? You can indeed. You can do advantage as well if you wish. That's a 19. Do much better now, but just in case. Yeah, so dirty 20.

21 dirty 21 Yeah. Morning Lord immediately strikes a tone, A tone with you. That's a that's a time for the dawn, Father. That's not been used in the last 700 years. Curious. It was the main religion for it was the main religion for like the for a lowland people that were basically that like basically farmers, they had the they they used the calendar of the moon. So the Night Mother was the was like the keeper of time.

Each moon begins on the first full night and last a full lunar cycle. And the morning Lord would be like, he's like the bringer of the harvests, like they he oversaw, like all of their work and they would like pray to him. Does that sound like there's a sort of crossover between him and the Dawn father? Yes, it sounds like they're. The presence of the Night Mother is felt most strongly between dusk and dawn. Although nighttime prayers to her go unanswered, it is widely believed that she has forsaken the broken people and sent the devil Stroud to punish them for their ancestors offences.

Curious. I turn to my companions. I say this morning. Lord is an ancient name of the dawn, Father. I've not heard it's used in a long time, other than in scriptures. The library, the convent. Most curious, Yes. Who is this dark Lord you spoke of? The the, the the we don't we don't we don't like to speak of him. He's and he looks around Strad, Strad von Zarlovich.

He is the he is the tread Lord. He is the Lord and master. He's the keeper of this place. And he looks up at the he looks up the at the mountain that overwatches the village. And above the mountain you can very faintly like make out a like the outline of a castle Spire, which you recognise because you saw it in your religious vision. Grip I grip Lady Enfield's shoulder. That is, This is the castle from the vision I saw, that's. What they want us to go find. The Godfather, apparently. So. Apparently this this Lord Stroud is perhaps the evil I've been sent to cleanse.

I'm staring up at the castle. My already grey skin has gone a little bit grayer. It's one thing to say bad stuff about people that's not listening, buttock. And as you all turn the there's a shadow on a wall that begins to materialise, but also like transparent. It's another thing entirely to clearly insult your Lord when he is in his domain. And Bartok falls to his knees and he begins to like openly weep and sob as this, this ghostly like image, like like solidifies materialise the splendid looking like ashen grey skinned elf.

That's it. Pray for forgiveness. And then he finally eventually regards you travellers. I've not had travellers in my home that's thousands of years. And he slowly as he as he waves his hand at the at Bartok. Bartok is like spirit, like lifted with the wind and is like thrown like yards down the road. Peasants dirty things. He regards malice. She's the only other one that is like, dressed as half as like, like regal as he is. Peasants. They are disgusting, aren't they? They just get under the skin.

May I ask your names? No. Trust it. Sorry for the same load no. That's interesting. Is that a pet? He's. Stray.

Honestly. Play you guys with me. I got to like again, sort of flap my coat out a little bit and like put my hands on the on my hat, on my pistol. My name is Von Donkill. This is. Lady, Lady Enfield. Enfield pleasure to make your acquaintance, Donkill. Holy man, I see. And he fucking locks his eyes on the on the press play. This land is in dire need of religion. I find it's lost it way as of late. There is no evil here, just house cleaning. And he puts his hand on Will's shoulder Will well the strengths over.

What do I have? What do I have 9:00? You begin to flail. Your arms I I put up a scimitar towards his neck and I say I think you better put put that put it down. I drew. Oh my God, I pointed directly at his face. And then in the other hand, I summon up a psychic blade. Did you tell us your name, Strangers? I am Lord Straub von Zolovich, thanks very much. Thanks very much for everyone for listening. I have been your DM. I am. My name is Carl. These are my players. Bye bye bye bye. What the fuck? Why are you like this?

Right? These have. Been my players and you're like. Like, like great. Subscribe, like, great. Subscribe and we'll see you next week. Bye. Yeah. Hello, boy. Actually, surely not. Tony Blair is lined up to lead a temporary administration in the Gaza Strip. Yeah, to oversee reconstruction after. The he's an expert on the Middle East. Yeah, he flat true. Yeah, should be.

Even before Benjamin Netanyahu reached the lectern on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly, dozens of diplomats have walked out of the cavernous hall. The Israeli delegation attempted to counter this performative display by putting forward one of their own, cheering and giving a standing ovation at the appearance of the Prime Minister. So everyone left and there's just one guy going, yeah. Almost immediately, Netanyahu did what he often does in these speeches, unfurling props, including a map of the region and ticking off 1 by 1 the threats that have long menaced the Jewish state.

However, while Netanyahu attempt to remind the few still seated in the chamber about the horrors of the 7th October terrorist attack by Hamas, the principal impression from inside the room was of how isolated from the world the Israeli leader has become, underscoring this. Stopping him doing what he's doing. How is it? What does it fucking matter? You are still committing genocide. Underscoring this further was the circuitous path that Netanyahu's jet had to take in order to reach New York, winding its way around European countries to avoid the airspace of those potentially sympathetic to an ICC arrest warrant.

Because they put out saying he's a war crime, war criminal. Didn't know. And he was like, no, not and. Then flew around all of the. Countries where he could have been arrested, yeah. No, just come in please. And then he arrives at the fucking UN, the ICC says he's a war criminal, and he does a speech at the UN where he just continues to talk about his bullshit excuse for being a genocider. Like, what is the man with the fucking world? Oh. Too much power. I don't like what I don't get is because like, you know, like a lot of the thing they try like.

Maybe Trump's going to go against Israel. Without it, they make so much money out of Israel. And I assume that's going to be the because what I was going to say was they're like, oh, all of the Jews got killed during World War Two. We feel bad for them. So if you say anything bad against them, it's racist. But they killed so many thousands and millions or whatever of black people in America during slave trade and so on the Civil War. But that doesn't stop them from going and killing democratically elected leaders in African nations or whatever.

This is 10 to 3 for. Some reason there's a difference. Oh the difference is they just donate AK-40 sevens and shit to these countries in Africa, whereas Israel actually buys shit off of them. This was at 10 to. Missiles are down in the razor blades. This is 10 to 3 on Sky News Benjamin Netanyahu has now finished his address to the UN General Assembly. He ran over his 15 minute slot, speaking for around 40 minutes. He thought it was a Gazan child.
