[0.0s] D&D 5th Edition Actual Play Podcast
[16.6s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. We're at D&D 5th Edition Actual Play Podcast.
[21.0s] And thank you for being here with us. I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.
[23.9s] And with me today is Tom Laird.
[26.4s] That's me. I play Flint Firebeard.
[28.8s] He is a level 8 dwarf champion fighter.
[32.0s] A little background on Flint.
[34.0s] He was a long-serving member of a militia force called the Iron Fist of the Dawn.
[39.6s] He slowly but surely rose up through their ranks.
[42.8s] But then he made captain and some new leadership came in and his mentor left the company.
[48.8s] And then these new guys pretty focused on greed and a lot of shady activities.
[53.6s] So Flint bought his way out.
[55.6s] Got out of there and met up with a friendly druid and a ranger who I guess you'll meet next.
[60.8s] Also with me, Amy More.
[62.8s] Hey, that's me. I play Thea Amastasia, a high elf druid.
[68.8s] She's part of the Circle of the Moon and she's about 200 years old, level 8.
[75.6s] 5'9", bright green eyes, brilliant blue hair.
[79.6s] She was a scribe for a while.
[81.2s] I like to bring that up because, you know, books and writing and stuff.
[86.0s] But in reality, she's actually a bit of a drug dealer.
[89.6s] The way that her and Flint found each other was she was supplying him on the DL
[93.2s] with a little bit of weed for that mercenary PTSD he has going on there.
[97.6s] And Newlar and I found each other in a forest fighting an orc, I do believe.
[103.2s] You'll also see me with one of my best animal buds, Guacamole,
[107.6s] who's a jade serpentine owl that I keep with me and can call out.
[114.0s] Giant owl at any moment. Super cool. That's not what my owl sounds like.
[119.3s] She's a snowy owl, by the way, sorry.
[121.1s] And last but not least, Carla Johnson.
[123.7s] That is me. I play Newlar Moonbrook.
[126.6s] She is an 8th level human ranger.
[129.4s] She grew up pretty isolated, except for her huge family.
[133.4s] She has six older brothers. She grew up near High Forest.
[137.0s] And she was kind of a loner, maybe because she was the only girl
[141.2s] or because she was the youngest.
[142.4s] But she really like learned everything she could from those big bros.
[145.4s] And then just like headed out to kind of, you know, be a ranger in the woods.
[151.2s] Her and Thea met. There was an orc.
[153.4s] They realized, are we destined to become best friends? Maybe.
[158.1s] She has an animal best friend, though.
[160.1s] He is a pseudo dragon and his name is Donnie.
[163.2s] Thank you for being here with us.
[164.5s] We've been playing around the table for, I don't know, two years at this point.
[168.3s] Yeah, sounds about right.
[169.4s] Somewhere about there.
[170.1s] We've got a little bit of history with these characters.
[171.9s] We played through Horde of the Dragon Queen,
[175.1s] the first book in the Tyranny of Dragons saga from Wizards of the Coast.
[179.6s] And right now we decided to hit record
[182.7s] and continue playing this game here now for you.
[186.0s] So that's what we have for you.
[187.1s] You're jumping in midstream as we kick off Rise of Tiamat.
[190.8s] Thank you very much and we'll talk to you soon.
[192.7s] Anytime I hear midstream, I always think someone's interrupting someone else peeing.
[196.4s] I mean, that's kind of what they're doing.
[200.6s] OK, now the episode.
[203.3s] So last time you went through a bunch of doors, which was super exciting.
[209.0s] And then you got back to Salazar there and he told you
[212.8s] that you have been invited to a council meeting in Waterdeep,
[216.9s] invited by Leosin, your good friend from the previous adventures.
[221.4s] While you are in his office, he says,
[225.0s] I think it's time that you guys are a little bit more involved
[229.8s] in knowing what we do here.
[232.2s] He says, and we're going to retcon the name because I changed it a little bit.
[237.5s] We are the Guild of the Nine Shadows.
[241.2s] Fancy.
[242.3s] We control the fate and the order among the nine planes of existence.
[248.6s] Each of them have their controllers.
[250.4s] I am the controller of the material planes
[254.0s] and each other plane has its own controller who you may or may not meet in the future.
[260.3s] But we are in charge of keeping order within the realms and the planes.
[264.8s] So if I ABB up up, will you karate chop someone in the neck?
[272.3s] Was Salazar already the controller of the material plane
[277.7s] before he opened the fantasy Costco?
[280.2s] Or did he like, how did that work together?
[283.2s] Because it seems like it works really well together.
[286.2s] Sure. Yeah, it sure does.
[287.7s] It sure does seem like I planned that from the beginning, doesn't it?
[291.3s] It's all coming together.
[292.3s] No, you did.
[293.0s] No, you did.
[294.2s] That's why he's our DM.
[295.4s] He says, yes and no.
[297.6s] I had my own life before I became the controller
[300.6s] or I did run fantasy Costco and through various interactions
[306.7s] with different creatures and beings, I have come into the position that I have now.
[313.2s] And it is an excellent ploy for me to get in and out of places
[318.0s] and have a whole bunch of things that nobody else has.
[322.8s] Unless you have a fantasy Costco membership.
[324.7s] Unless you have a fantasy Costco membership.
[326.9s] Lifetime.
[328.7s] Lifetime memberships.
[330.0s] Yes, yes.
[330.8s] Side note, the controller sounds like some sort of really bad rom-com
[335.2s] with like Julia Roberts in it.
[337.0s] Just FYI.
[338.7s] We'll work on the name of who controls.
[343.0s] We'll work on that too.
[345.3s] Since you guys have been here, you have been working on a skill.
[349.8s] Which totally happened.
[351.7s] You can pick a tool set and you have been working on gaining the skill associated with said tool set.
[361.0s] Oh, thieves tools, done.
[363.1s] We're always like, how are we going to open this locked door?
[365.7s] Smash it, smash it, smash it.
[368.2s] I feel like character-wise it would make sense for me to do navigator's tools
[372.2s] because that's like my whole thing is like maps and stuff like that.
[377.0s] So that gets me sea proficiency as well as forest proficiency.
[382.8s] That is correct.
[384.3s] So we're oh and I also have swamp proficiency.
[389.0s] I'm really good in nature.
[390.6s] All right, I think I will go with maybe disguise kit.
[396.1s] Glasses and a nose.
[397.2s] Change our appearance.
[399.0s] Oh yeah.
[400.1s] The bitching beard always stays though.
[401.8s] Oh yeah, that is a downside though.
[406.4s] Could work for you.
[407.6s] Could work.
[408.3s] Let's go with smith's tools.
[410.5s] I am a dwarf after all.
[412.2s] So yeah, make note of those and then you will now have those skills.
[416.4s] Thieves tools, navigator's tools and smith's tools.
[420.8s] He also says you will be on your way to water deep.
[425.4s] I would like you to swing by one of the shops in the guild here
[429.9s] who you haven't been to see yet.
[431.6s] He deals in extraordinary items and he will set you up with a couple things
[437.3s] that you might need on your adventure.
[439.4s] His name is Ozark and he is down on the third floor.
[443.3s] He's the only thing there.
[444.3s] You can't miss him.
[446.3s] It's literally an entire floor devoted to this guy.
[448.9s] Yes, Ozark's Bizard is on the third floor.
[451.3s] Ozark's Bizard.
[452.3s] Is he like the Q character from the James Bond series?
[455.3s] He might be.
[456.0s] Okay.
[456.6s] It's a possibility.
[457.6s] I'm looking forward to wearing a watch that does eight other things.
[460.6s] And Salazar says unless there's anything else you need from me at this moment,
[464.3s] I wish you a grand adventure.
[467.3s] Tibby will unfortunately not be able to come with you as he is from another plane
[471.3s] and he would probably draw more attention to you at this time
[475.0s] than you would want.
[476.7s] But later on down your journey, he may be able to come and join you further.
[481.1s] Is there a robot plane?
[483.4s] Yeah.
[484.4s] An angel robot plane?
[486.2s] Well, I mean, it's like a mech plane.
[488.5s] So angel bots, yeah.
[489.8s] Okay.
[490.2s] Yeah, angel bots.
[491.5s] Out of curiosity, how were we on the same plane as Tibby last time?
[497.2s] Tibby, we here are able to bring things to and from other planes.
[503.4s] Tibby was brought here after the Guild helped him and his clan
[508.3s] in a grand battle on their planet.
[510.4s] He decided that he wanted to join the Guild
[513.2s] and after doing many, many training sessions
[516.2s] and proving that he was able to undertake adventures of his own,
[520.9s] he was brought in to work with the Guild.
[522.6s] Okay.
[523.1s] And he was partnered with you to help you out picking locks and stuff.
[528.5s] Boy, did he ever.
[529.4s] Indeed.
[529.8s] He was great.
[531.0s] Now we don't need him anymore, guys.
[532.3s] I've got thieves tools and he had a little bit of a mouth on him.
[535.2s] He was a little sarcastic.
[536.6s] A little sassy.
[537.2s] That damn button.
[539.2s] Unfortunately, the programming is hard coded.
[541.2s] We can't change that.
[542.8s] Let's go to the Ozarks, get some mountain tools.
[545.4s] For sure.
[545.8s] Let's do this.
[547.0s] All right.
[547.4s] So you head down to Ozarks Bizard
[550.7s] and you walk in to this room and it is a dimly lit,
[556.4s] incense-filled apothecary of sorts.
[559.7s] As you walk through the entrance,
[562.2s] a chime rings throughout the room
[564.9s] and from a back storage room door,
[568.4s] a little older man in a dark robe comes out and says,
[574.3s] Oh, I've been waiting for you.
[575.9s] Thank you for coming down to my Bizard.
[578.1s] Flint, Nularaaa, and Thea, right?
[580.2s] Yeah, you must be Ozark.
[582.2s] Yes, I am.
[583.6s] I've been waiting to meet you guys for so long.
[586.2s] Come sit down.
[587.1s] And he brings you to a table
[589.8s] and he hands you a package each and you open it
[594.0s] and in it there is an extra healing kit.
[597.5s] If you already have a healing kit, it's extra.
[599.9s] Two healing potions and he hands you a key each.
[605.9s] And he says, with these keys,
[607.4s] you walk over to the wall over there.
[609.8s] This big wall has a key.
[612.1s] You put your key in and you will get something
[614.1s] that should be beneficial to you
[615.7s] in your upcoming adventures.
[617.4s] Sort of sorcery, is this?
[619.3s] Magic sorcery.
[620.3s] Okay, I go to the wall
[623.5s] and try to put my key in the key.
[626.2s] You put your key in the key?
[627.4s] Sorry, key hole.
[628.3s] Oh, I put my key in the keyboard.
[630.2s] Smartass.
[636.6s] Which one is that?
[637.4s] This one?
[638.3s] And your other detail.
[639.9s] How long it takes me to find it.
[642.2s] Okay, that's a 90 and a four.
[648.1s] 94.
[649.3s] So you hear some gears churning through the wall
[653.2s] and a slot opens up.
[655.6s] It's a small box comes out of this slot
[657.8s] and when you open it, there's a ring inside.
[661.3s] Is it pretty?
[662.5s] It is super pretty.
[664.1s] It's a super pretty ring
[665.2s] and it goes with your whole ensemble.
[668.0s] He snatches it from your hand
[670.2s] and goes and gives it a quick look over.
[672.2s] He says, yes, yes, this is the ring of spell storing.
[677.6s] I just got a tingle.
[680.5s] Why were you a ghost right there?
[684.2s] No, that was like, that was like a,
[685.9s] whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
[687.2s] Like I, that was a pleasure.
[689.7s] That was, that was an whoo, whoo, whoo of pleasure.
[691.9s] I see you're delighted by your spell ring.
[694.6s] Yes, it's pretty
[696.2s] and it does something that has to do with spells.
[698.2s] I'm happy.
[699.0s] The ring stores spells cast into it,
[703.0s] holding them until the wearer uses them.
[706.6s] The ring can store up to five levels
[709.2s] worth of spells at a time
[711.1s] and when found right now,
[713.4s] it contains, it contains three spells right now.
[719.7s] So I have a question.
[721.7s] Are these spells that aren't necessary,
[723.8s] they're not in my spell slots,
[725.4s] but I could just choose any spells within.
[728.6s] You have to cast them into your ring.
[733.3s] And then I keep them there,
[734.9s] not in my spell slot,
[736.0s] so I could have different spells
[738.1s] that aren't in my wheelhouse.
[740.5s] Yes.
[740.6s] They're in my ring house.
[741.8s] Yes.
[743.5s] Exactly.
[746.3s] So these spells that are in your ring right now, Amy,
[750.5s] are Healing Word, Guiding Bolt,
[753.9s] and He's just randomly picking spells right now.
[760.9s] He's just like, he's closing his eyes.
[763.4s] His fingers just kind of circling over the page.
[766.9s] Busted the Ouija board.
[769.4s] Searing Smite.
[772.2s] That sounds vengeful,
[774.1s] which is right up in his alley.
[776.3s] It's true.
[776.7s] She holds a grudge.
[777.6s] Yeah, I like it.
[778.3s] Who's next?
[779.8s] I guess it is me.
[781.6s] I put my key in a hole and turn it.
[784.3s] You want to roll your percentile die?
[786.7s] Dice.
[787.4s] Don't know what you mean.
[788.6s] So that's the one with the number and the zero on it.
[791.1s] Like this one.
[791.8s] I already put that away.
[793.0s] I know, you only had your four go.
[797.4s] Sorry, my percentile die and that's it.
[799.6s] So that is a 49.
[802.4s] 49.
[803.4s] Under the O, 49.
[805.4s] You hear the same churning of gears and out from the slot.
[809.7s] Another small box pops and you open it up and another ring is inside and he does the
[815.3s] same thing.
[815.8s] Gives it a look over and he says this is an alchemist's ring.
[819.6s] When the wear of this ring imbibes a healing potion, they receive 1d6 additional healing.
[825.5s] Sweet.
[826.4s] I guess I shouldn't say me.
[827.7s] Gives the wearer.
[828.8s] If one of my comrades is hurt, I can just slip it on their finger.
[832.7s] Lower the ring style.
[833.8s] Throw that ring over there and have it just get on there.
[837.9s] All right, I got a 30.
[841.0s] You get a scarf.
[843.2s] You get a cute pair of pumps.
[844.6s] Is it some sort of awesome scarf?
[845.6s] It is chilly outside.
[846.7s] You get a scarf.
[848.0s] Out from the slot pops a larger bag and from the bag you pull a dwarven plated belt.
[856.9s] He tells you that this is the belt of dwarven kind.
[861.0s] FYI, I totally wrote out belt of dwarven king and then quickly corrected it.
[866.2s] Apparently, I am just a grade schooler.
[870.1s] While wearing this belt, you gain the following benefits.
[872.9s] Your constitution score increases by 2 to a maximum of 20.
[877.8s] You have advantage on charisma persuasion checks made to interact with dwarves.
[884.0s] You're like, look at my sweet belt, now do what I want.
[887.0s] But that's only on charisma checks involving dwarves.
[890.2s] Yes.
[891.0s] If you weren't a dwarf, it would also allow you to grow a beard by the day's end.
[895.2s] Oh, son of a bitch.
[896.4s] Doesn't need that.
[897.0s] I've got that talent natural.
[898.7s] Yep.
[899.5s] Thank you, Ozark.
[901.1s] Oh.
[901.6s] Yeah, thanks buddy.
[903.0s] You're most welcome.
[904.1s] Please, please come back as soon as you can.
[906.4s] I have lots of things that you might maybe need.
[909.5s] Sure, that sounds great.
[910.9s] Maybe some things you don't.
[911.9s] Who knows?
[912.5s] Certainly, our ubiquitous comrades.
[915.3s] Beyond your way, go catch the train.
[917.5s] What's a train?
[919.2s] Well, we didn't have airplanes last time, so I don't know if we have trains.
[922.3s] We have flying castles.
[923.5s] That's true.
[924.1s] Do we know what trains are?
[925.7s] Yes, because you've ridden the train before.
[929.4s] When you went to fight the volcano giant?
[931.5s] Oh, that's true.
[932.3s] We did ride the train.
[933.5s] Yeah, it was the train that, you know, took you out and then just kind of showed up.
[937.7s] Can't just forget everything I just said.
[939.8s] I didn't know if that was canon or not.
[942.4s] It's all part of it.
[943.6s] I was just kidding.
[944.4s] I just forgot.
[945.4s] To the train.
[946.5s] So you guys go hit the train and it drops you just outside of Waterdeep and it goes off.
[955.4s] And as you turn to look towards Waterdeep and look back, the train tracks are gone.
[961.2s] Oh, ghost train, Polar Express, any of those ghost train, Polar Express, Spirit of Vengeance.
[970.4s] Come on, give us something here.
[971.3s] Back to the Future 3, any of these.
[973.5s] Any of these.
[974.7s] And as the train pulls away, the conductor leans out and it's Doc Brown.
[981.6s] So you guys walk towards Waterdeep, I assume?
[984.7s] Yes.
[985.8s] So you come in near the south end of Waterdeep, which is the south end of Doc Ward's.
[994.9s] And when you arrive in Waterdeep, you sense a sudden shift in the wind.
[1002.5s] And with it brings a strange sense of unease.
[1006.1s] The feeling is akin to the drop in air pressure before the approach of a deadly storm.
[1011.6s] Or faint tremors felt from a landslide or earthquake far away.
[1016.2s] And you look around and you notice you're not the only ones who have noticed this.
[1020.3s] The city around you goes unnaturally quiet.
[1023.4s] No dogs are barking, no birds squawk.
[1025.6s] Even a lot of the street vendors have all gone silent.
[1030.5s] The silence lasts only a moment before the normal sounds of Waterdeep begin to pick
[1036.6s] back up again and you hear just the normal commotion of the city.
[1040.9s] Well, that was weird.
[1041.7s] Yeah, that really gave me the old heebie jeebs.
[1045.6s] Leosin's note told you to meet at the Lord's Palace.
[1051.9s] I would say we go see our homeboy Leosin.
[1054.8s] Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
[1056.0s] I mean, we just got hooked up with some equipment,
[1057.8s] so we're good as far as that's concerned.
[1059.6s] We should probably just head on in there and see what's what.
[1062.8s] Yeah, okay.
[1063.8s] Agree.
[1064.3s] So as you as you travel through the city,
[1067.6s] you notice that a lot of the animals throughout the city,
[1072.8s] the horses, the dogs, the cats, all seem a bit unusually nervous and on edge.
[1081.7s] More so than you would have normally expected walking through just any random city.
[1086.3s] Sure, but we did just experience that weird weather phenomenon,
[1089.4s] so that's probably playing along in there.
[1091.3s] So you pull into the Lord's Palace and you as you walk through the main entrance,
[1097.6s] you are greeted by Leosin and he says,
[1101.4s] I'm so glad you are here, friends.
[1103.6s] There's been some things going on and I feel we need your help.
[1107.8s] The council meetings are about to begin and I've got you into them.
[1113.0s] Let me lead you this way.
[1114.4s] Is there anything you require from me before I send you in there?
[1119.4s] They will likely ask you about your dealings with the cult to this point,
[1124.3s] so be prepared to give your accounts of your adventures so far.
[1130.4s] I was not told we would need to study for any sort of reason.
[1135.0s] This is just like a town council meeting?
[1138.8s] This is a council meeting of all of the lords and leaders across Faerun.
[1146.6s] Not a guild council meeting?
[1148.6s] No.
[1150.5s] I mean, still not great because our memory is pretty poor, but we'll do our best.
[1159.8s] Hold on people, this could get real rough.
[1162.4s] But sure, sure, why not?
[1164.5s] I'm sure we can do it.
[1166.3s] We're nice people.
[1167.9s] We can answer some questions.
[1169.8s] We generally know what happened.
[1172.2s] Except when it comes to needs of transportation.
[1175.1s] He leads you to a large chamber and opens the door and council is currently going on.
[1185.4s] So you enter and you see the man head of the table.
[1190.2s] He's doing the talking right now and they are talking about
[1194.3s] actually the sound that you heard when you came into Waterdeep.
[1199.5s] He is asking if anybody knows anything about this sound.
[1204.4s] And one woman stands up and she says,
[1208.3s] The disturbance that's been sensed across the Sword Coast is the Drakorn,
[1213.0s] an ancient device whose sounding alerts dragons across Faerun that great events are unfolding.
[1219.7s] It's impossible to say what the sounding means,
[1222.8s] but all dragons hear it clearly and will eventually answer its call.
[1227.9s] The guy at the beginning of the table says,
[1231.4s] Lady Silmarhelv, where did you get this information from?
[1235.7s] Why do you know so much about dealings of dragons?
[1240.6s] And she refuses to say where she knows from,
[1244.7s] just that a family benefactor has told her stories of such a device.
[1251.4s] At that time they look to you as you enter the room
[1256.0s] and Anthar Froome stands up and says,
[1259.0s] Our good friends who have saved us many many times are here to tell us their tales
[1265.3s] and shed us light on some of the dealings that they have had with the cults
[1269.3s] and hopefully bring a little more information to what we have.
[1273.3s] He says, Flint, Nularaaaa, Thea,
[1275.4s] if you could begin to tell your tale as to what you have experienced.
[1279.7s] Where to begin?
[1281.6s] Well, the main thing to know is that the dragon cult is collecting a horde of treasure
[1287.4s] at the moment to try and awaken Tiamat, the queen of the dragons.
[1291.7s] We curbed that a little bit, got a giant on our side, kind of smashed his castle,
[1300.7s] floating flying castle.
[1302.2s] As you mentioned that you smashed the castle,
[1304.4s] a couple of the delegates kind of whisper to each other
[1307.5s] and they have a displeased look on their face.
[1309.8s] Would you like to share with the class?
[1311.8s] No, continue.
[1314.4s] It was unavoidable.
[1315.8s] It's fair, it's fair.
[1317.1s] Yes, it was like we were working together.
[1319.8s] Yes, we teamed up with him to try and curb the assault of the cult
[1324.1s] and as we were in the process of doing so and battling a dragon,
[1329.0s] unfortunately we did a little bit of a face plant into a mountain with the castle.
[1333.3s] We certainly did.
[1334.9s] What's her face?
[1335.8s] That awful lady.
[1337.3s] Resmere.
[1338.1s] Thank you.
[1339.0s] So, Resmere was involved as well.
[1343.5s] There's dissent in the ranks.
[1345.7s] So, there are higher up people of the dragon cult
[1350.6s] that would prefer Tiamat doesn't arise.
[1354.4s] There's five leaders of the dragon cult
[1357.4s] and they weren't exactly agreed on what direction they want the dragon cult to take.
[1362.2s] Some wanted to raise Tiamat,
[1363.9s] some did not want to raise Tiamat.
[1367.3s] So, we killed one of them
[1371.0s] and then we were in this horrible castle accident
[1375.0s] and some of our memories are a bit foggy.
[1377.6s] That is entirely understandable, having crashed in a castle and all.
[1381.7s] Yes, yes indeed.
[1383.4s] It was not pleasant.
[1385.3s] The takeaway though is that I think we could maybe
[1390.2s] find common enemies with some of the higher-ups in the dragon cult
[1394.6s] to completely destroy the dragon cult, it seemed like.
[1398.5s] There's definitely some...
[1400.5s] Not everyone is on the same page over there.
[1403.4s] If not destroy it, then at least alter its course of actions.
[1409.8s] We didn't ever end up getting back to help the lizard people.
[1415.0s] We did not signal them with a giant owl in the sky.
[1418.4s] See, now I'm filled with guilt.
[1419.9s] Yeah.
[1420.5s] Because we said we'd get back there to help them
[1422.6s] and instead we crashed a castle and never ended up getting back there.
[1426.6s] So, there's a whole group of lizard folk who are working for the dragon cult
[1430.6s] against their will because the dragon cult have stolen their land.
[1434.6s] Well, it seems we should send someone to help them,
[1437.1s] especially if a promise was made.
[1438.8s] Yeah, maybe they're still just like waiting for that signal.
[1441.6s] I mean, I don't know how long it's been.
[1443.0s] I really hope they haven't done anything.
[1444.6s] Well, we killed Resmere, though, who was running that compound, right?
[1447.8s] So she never went back, obviously.
[1450.9s] There was an old black dragon in the area that was also kind of running things.
[1457.7s] That they had previously been alleged to.
[1462.7s] But still, if you could send some people to help them out,
[1465.4s] that would be great because we feel very bad.
[1468.5s] Very responsible for them, too.
[1470.6s] We stirred the pot there.
[1471.7s] We kicked the bee's nest and we don't want them to suffer for that.
[1475.4s] Hanthar speaks up and he says,
[1477.3s] we will send a group of our pAlydins,
[1479.5s] we will get the information from you and send a group of our pAlydins to go
[1483.4s] and make sure that things are taken care of in that region.
[1486.8s] Oh, and they have like a buttload of treasure there.
[1489.4s] Yes.
[1490.5s] Delightful.
[1491.3s] We'll make sure that's taken care of as well.
[1493.0s] Perfect.
[1493.6s] Care of, yes.
[1495.8s] Oh, the treasure was gone, guys.
[1499.0s] Oops.
[1499.6s] The lord at the top of the table says,
[1502.3s] have you come across any hatcheries, any dragon eggs,
[1506.3s] anything that could be used from that side?
[1510.0s] Absolutely.
[1510.7s] I reach into my like satchel, my bag and I produce a shell,
[1517.1s] a black dragon egg shell.
[1518.3s] Because remember, I kept one of those.
[1520.0s] We destroyed a bunch of them in a cave.
[1523.2s] He says you destroyed the eggs.
[1527.0s] Yes.
[1528.5s] Most of them.
[1529.4s] It seems to be split among all of the delis.
[1532.6s] There seems to be split feelings as to that.
[1535.5s] He says the eggs could have been used to negotiate with the dragons,
[1541.7s] but what's done is done.
[1543.5s] There's still one out there.
[1545.4s] It was a situation.
[1546.6s] It's fair.
[1547.0s] We had to make a call.
[1547.7s] They were going to hatch them to unleash all holy hell on everything.
[1552.4s] And you said you have killed Resmere, yes?
[1554.9s] Yes.
[1555.5s] And have you come to learn any alliances they have within other groups?
[1561.7s] There's been rumors that they've been working with the red wizards of Thay.
[1564.9s] Have you heard anything of that?
[1566.6s] Yes, they definitely are.
[1568.8s] Do you know the reason behind that?
[1571.4s] No, that was something that we never really got privy to.
[1574.4s] He speaks up and says,
[1577.0s] the rumors we have heard is that they're using the wizards to conjure Tiamat.
[1582.9s] Once they have adequate hordes of treasure,
[1587.2s] adequate number of recruits and people in order to support their cause,
[1593.4s] they are using the red wizards in order to actually summon Tiamat is what we have heard.
[1599.7s] Yes, that is our high-ranking source in the Cult of the Dragon said much the same.
[1606.5s] The red wizards are pawns to help with the rise of Tiamat.
[1609.8s] Excellent. I'm glad that checks out as far as you are concerned.
[1613.8s] The man you've been mainly speaking to continues and he says,
[1617.4s] I am Lord Dagult Neverember and we wish to recruit you to help us gain more information
[1625.8s] to help fight against the cult and the rise of Tiamat.
[1628.5s] We are willing to deputize you and your troop in order to gain information,
[1635.8s] give you investigative powers which will allow you access
[1639.7s] to places where you would otherwise be unable to go.
[1642.9s] If you're willing to help us, we would be willing to do that and support you in
[1647.0s] any way that we can as far as each of our individual clans and organizations go.
[1652.9s] Yeah, that sounds like we're pretty much on the same page.
[1656.5s] What do you guys think?
[1657.3s] Agreed. Sounds like our interests are definitely aligned.
[1660.6s] Yeah, that cult attacks on us have been pretty personal, so we're on board for this.
[1666.5s] It is excellent. We will have that paperwork written up at the end of this session.
[1671.2s] There is one other thing that we have to discuss.
[1674.0s] The assassination of Arthagast Ulbrinter.
[1678.4s] He was a massed lord of Waterdeep and husband to Remy Haven Tree and she speaks up
[1685.2s] and she says we through the harpers after this assassination have sworn to destroy the cult
[1692.5s] and the threat it presents to the Sword Coast.
[1695.0s] So far we have been instrumental in bringing the factions together for this council of Waterdeep
[1700.6s] and we wish to set up further alliances with you and with others throughout Faerun.
[1706.5s] If through your journeys you find you are able to create alliances with any other groups
[1711.9s] you come across, please tell them of what we are doing and how they can help our cause.
[1717.7s] Sure, yeah. That makes sense.
[1720.6s] So sorry to hear of your husband.
[1722.2s] Thank you. Great loss.
[1723.9s] That is all we have right now.
[1726.2s] Leosin told me that he has some more information regarding the whereabouts of
[1730.3s] one of the worm speakers, one of the leaders of the dragon cult.
[1733.8s] So if you please see him on your way out, that would be marvelous.
[1738.4s] Everybody kind of stands up and makes their way to the door
[1741.4s] and the lady who was talking about the Drakhorn, Dalla Silmerhielve,
[1749.4s] comes over to you guys as everybody's kind of leaving and she says,
[1753.4s] I know I didn't say much more but I may know where the Drakhorn is
[1761.7s] and if we know where it is we can control it and if we can control it
[1766.2s] we might be able to sway the dragons to not work towards bringing Tiamat back.
[1774.1s] I lean over to Nularaaa and I go, oh thank god she came forward because
[1777.8s] I was going to beat the information out of her afterwards.
[1782.1s] She sounded like she knew more but she didn't give any more information.
[1785.3s] Oh that's awesome! Yeah, we should totally find the Drakhorn.
[1788.7s] Whereabouts is it or do you think it is?
[1791.2s] The Sea of Moving Ice was the last known location of the Drakhorn
[1796.9s] no one has ever been able to pinpoint its present location from the sound
[1801.7s] or even verify with certainty that the relic is still in the northern sea
[1806.1s] but the search I feel must start there as that is the last known place.
[1810.4s] There is one person who could tell us more.
[1813.8s] She is a tiefling sorcerer called Makath the Crimson.
[1818.2s] No one alive knows more about the Drakhorn than her
[1821.1s] but the Arcane Brotherhood of which she is also a member
[1824.4s] hasn't seen her for three years.
[1826.5s] She was investigating the Sea of Moving Ice when she disappeared as well.
[1830.6s] If you wish to go to the Sea of Moving Ice
[1834.8s] we can have a ship readied for you to deliver you up there.
[1840.2s] Are we on good terms with this Arcane Brotherhood?
[1843.1s] The Arcane Brotherhood is not an enemy of any of our causes.
[1847.5s] They haven't directly worked with us but we have no reason that they would
[1852.2s] present a problem to you in finding more information about what is happening.
[1856.3s] We could even get them on our side.
[1858.0s] That is a possibility.
[1859.4s] If you are able to find Makath if she's still living
[1864.2s] as she's been up there unheard of for a few years
[1867.1s] if you are able to find her find more information
[1869.8s] yes the Arcane Brotherhood would be a great resource
[1873.7s] for knowing more about dragons and knowing more about Tiamat.
[1876.9s] All right thanks for the heads up.
[1878.4s] All right well should we go there?
[1879.7s] Can we?
[1881.2s] Donnie is a pseudo dragon so really he's just a tiny dragon.
[1886.1s] So Donnie I'm assuming we're alone now.
[1889.3s] All the other council members have left.
[1891.0s] Everybody's kind of filtered out.
[1892.3s] Donnie when we first got here did you hear something?
[1897.1s] What did it say?
[1898.3s] When it felt like the air pressure dropped?
[1901.2s] Or did you what would tell us what you experienced?
[1905.3s] And by tell us I mean psychically tell us in our brains.
[1909.0s] It says well guys I did hear the noise and it was a noise.
[1915.7s] It wasn't just a pressure drop to me.
[1917.2s] It was coming coming far from far from the mountains
[1922.1s] up towards the north.
[1923.5s] So this is what she's saying is is possible.
[1927.3s] So it seems like a likely place to start.
[1930.0s] Do you feel like a draw?
[1931.5s] Is it calling you?
[1932.7s] Do you want to go?
[1934.1s] I mean I don't really want to because I know what's going on.
[1939.4s] You know there's dragons trying to bring back batter dragons
[1942.2s] and I'm a good dragon.
[1943.1s] I don't like to fight the dragons.
[1946.2s] Making fun of batter?
[1948.7s] We all were.
[1950.8s] This is good though because if it sounds again he can hear it right?
[1956.6s] Like I just wanted a little confirmation
[1961.0s] Well Dalla there wasn't selling us a dole of goods.
[1964.4s] Yanking our chain.
[1966.5s] Yeah it's the Dracorn.
[1967.7s] It's a dragon horn.
[1970.4s] Not just a guy with a loud siren man.
[1973.1s] So what do you think guys?
[1974.0s] Sea of Moving Ice?
[1975.1s] That sounds like a good spot to go.
[1977.4s] Sounds like we should go see Ozarks again
[1979.4s] and see if he has any like parkas or anything for us.
[1983.2s] Or just ask them if they're going to like
[1984.9s] they're arranging our our travel on the boat right?
[1988.2s] Are they arranging us some some appropriately warm clothes?
[1991.6s] And if so let's go.
[1993.6s] Oil skins of some sort.
[1995.1s] Yeah as you head back out Leosin is standing out
[1999.5s] on the other side of the of the chamber that you were in.
[2002.8s] Hey buddy.
[2003.5s] How did it go in there guys?
[2004.6s] It was tough to remember some of it but I think we got the point across.
[2008.4s] Well they did say that your brain damage was extensive from the crash.
[2011.8s] And I'm not surprised.
[2013.4s] I've lost my sense of smell.
[2014.8s] Well that is going to be deadly to you coming up here.
[2017.5s] I'm just kidding.
[2018.5s] It's a smell-based campaign.
[2020.1s] No!
[2021.8s] He says is there any anything that you gathered from that?
[2025.5s] I do have some information to tell you regarding one of the worm speakers.
[2031.8s] Great yes yes.
[2033.5s] We have heard that Varam the White who is a close ally and confidant of Severin
[2043.1s] is rumored to have lost their dragon mask.
[2046.4s] He was the holder of the white dragon mask and he is currently last spotted
[2053.3s] rumored to have been spotted out near the serpent hill.
[2056.3s] Severin's the head dude right?
[2057.8s] Out of character?
[2059.6s] Yeah yeah.
[2060.6s] Other out of character question.
[2062.6s] So when we met that woman in the white scale mail at that weird house
[2067.0s] that we went through the portal that was not Varam the White.
[2069.7s] That was just some other person wearing white.
[2073.4s] She wanted to have the white mask but Varam was the holder of the one.
[2080.1s] I couldn't remember and I just saw a woman wearing white in my notes
[2083.1s] and then a list of all the people and thought that that's who that was.
[2086.6s] So okay perfect.
[2087.4s] She was just like his underling that wanted to take over.
[2091.0s] Exactly.
[2091.6s] Great.
[2093.4s] The cult leaders generally have other followers of the dragon type
[2098.0s] that they wear the mask of so if something happens to them
[2101.8s] another person is able to step into their place.
[2105.5s] Great and sorry I think we cut you off.
[2108.5s] Varam the White has lost his dragon mask.
[2110.7s] He was?
[2111.9s] He was rumored to have been seen around the serpent hills.
[2117.4s] Word came from a a tradeway encampment called the Boroskir bridge
[2123.1s] that he had passed through there.
[2125.0s] Varam the White is for character information is a dwarf
[2132.3s] and he as other leaders in the cult generally wear the purple robe set.
[2138.1s] Likely he would have kept that as that is his status.
[2142.3s] So when you're asking about him if you are asking about him you can ask about that.
[2147.6s] I hope he enjoys plus two to dwarf charisma interactions because he's gonna get it.
[2152.7s] Raz where are the serpent hills on the map?
[2156.6s] I see the sea of moving ice.
[2158.5s] Oh over here.
[2159.2s] I do see them sorry they are to the east like the southeast of where we are.
[2163.5s] Oh yep there you go.
[2164.8s] And then yeah the Boroskir bridge is slightly south of the serpent hills there.
[2169.0s] Yes it is.
[2169.8s] So we have like a north option and a south option.
[2173.0s] Okay so we'll send Thea of north to Lara's house and I'll just chill in water.
[2179.1s] I like the idea of going to the sea of moving ice if this lady's alive
[2183.5s] because that seems like we'd get a little more information.
[2186.6s] But then again a former white mask holder in the dragon cult
[2190.9s] might be able to tell us a whole lot of stuff too.
[2193.5s] Yeah if he's there I guess all we get from him is information and then murder.
[2199.0s] Yep but she gives us information and possible allies.
[2203.0s] And maybe control of that horn.
[2205.2s] And possible dragon control yeah.
[2207.0s] Because if we can get to that horn.
[2209.4s] Yeah that would be a huge plus for our side.
[2212.6s] To be able to convince the dragons not to be all into the dragon cult people.
[2218.7s] Indeed just doing some high tech mapping here.
[2223.4s] Oh also serpent hills is like 500 miles away.
[2227.4s] Yeah oh yeah it's not close.
[2229.0s] They're both very far away according to the scale.
[2231.2s] I say we go north because it sounds like more fun as well.
[2234.0s] And that's how I base a lot of my decisions to adventure.
[2237.9s] We've decided.
[2238.8s] Okay.
[2239.3s] Oh you want to know?
[2242.6s] Well it helps for which page I flip to.
[2244.4s] Leosan says so where do you guys need to go in order to further your investigation?
[2250.3s] Well I believe our first stop should be the sea of moving ice.
[2253.7s] So you will need a ship then.
[2255.4s] We will.
[2256.0s] I will procure you passage.
[2258.8s] The sea of moving ice is dreadfully cold.
[2262.6s] We will make sure that you have winter clothes in order to survive.
[2267.9s] It's probably a good thing.
[2271.2s] And if there's anything else you think you might need we will get it for you.
[2275.6s] But you seem fairly well equipped.
[2277.6s] Leosan in the council meeting they said they would
[2281.3s] send some people to help the lizard folk.
[2284.4s] That we kind of maybe left a little hanging near the mirror of dead men.
[2289.8s] Can we count on them to be good to their word?
[2292.8s] Or should we go and finish our own promise that we made?
[2296.9s] Yes who was it that told you?
[2299.6s] If Anthar or Lord Neverember told you I will pass that information on to them
[2305.9s] and they will send someone to take care of that.
[2310.0s] That is something that yes they are of their word and they will make sure.
[2313.0s] Especially Lord Neverember as that is in his area of jurisdiction.
[2318.2s] So that's a problem under his own roof is what you're saying.
[2323.0s] So he will want to have that taken care of if it is still an issue going on.
[2327.8s] Feel like there's still maybe one witch running around up there too?
[2330.4s] Maybe warn them about that.
[2331.6s] Definitely no those witches were down by greenest and they were further down.
[2337.5s] I thought they were in this in this wood.
[2341.4s] Or this wood.
[2343.7s] Never mind there's no witches they're fine.
[2347.1s] Maybe the Misty Forest is that where it was?
[2350.8s] I don't know it was further south.
[2353.8s] To the boat!
[2357.4s] The captain who we will likely procure.
[2363.4s] I can't think of good words.
[2364.6s] That's not a word.
[2365.3s] It's not a word it is now anyways.
[2367.6s] The captain who we will hire is Captain Larusta Half-Face.
[2372.9s] You gotta make these names easier on yourself for us.
[2376.7s] Half-Face.
[2379.6s] Captain what Half-Face?
[2381.4s] Larusta.
[2382.8s] Larry Half-Face.
[2385.4s] Captain Larry Half-Face.
[2387.0s] Perfect.
[2389.5s] Sounds handsome.
[2390.6s] We have worked with him in the past and he is he is a good man who will get you to where
[2394.4s] you need to go and we will send all the all the clothing you require down to his ship
[2400.4s] and have that ready for you when you are ready to go.
[2402.8s] Fantastic.
[2404.3s] To the ship!
[2406.2s] North!
[2407.8s] So you guys head to head down to the docks and there are plenty of ships down there.
[2413.7s] There is there are a bunch of large ships some really small ones.
[2420.1s] Some that climb on rocks.
[2421.0s] And some that climb on rocks.
[2423.8s] But as you walk through the docks you see a couple a couple individuals who you recognize
[2432.0s] wearing Order of the Gauntlet regalia coming from a.
[2436.2s] Okay do we get like badges or anything?
[2438.2s] We've been deputized right?
[2440.0s] Like.
[2440.6s] As you leave Leosun hands you a writ for your deputization.
[2447.2s] So you have on your person written a letter from.
[2451.1s] Just a letter like no badge?
[2452.9s] And a badge.
[2453.9s] Okay.
[2454.2s] And a sweet sweet badge.
[2455.4s] Okay perfect.
[2456.1s] I want to whip that out and interrogate some motherfuckers.
[2458.8s] Alright.
[2459.8s] Uh so you got you got badges you got writs.
[2463.4s] Alright.
[2464.1s] We got rings.
[2465.1s] Yep.
[2465.5s] And a snazzy belt.
[2467.6s] I have a follow-up question about the ships.
[2471.1s] You said that there's ones that climb on rocks but do our ships have a first name
[2475.6s] or perhaps a last name?
[2481.1s] Yep.
[2481.6s] I can do this to myself I don't know.
[2483.5s] What boat are we going on?
[2485.1s] If you could spell out the letters one at a time too that would be great.
[2488.5s] Alright I will do that.
[2489.9s] My boat it has a first name.
[2492.3s] It's.
[2492.9s] So you go uh you are down at the docks and you see a couple people from the orders of
[2497.2s] the gauntlet coming from a ship and as you walk in that direction a rough sounding fellow
[2504.2s] yells out to you and says you guys are the ones going up north aren't you?
[2508.2s] Who wants to know?
[2509.5s] The old half face.
[2511.8s] I'm Larry half face.
[2514.2s] Ah half face.
[2515.4s] How are you today?
[2516.7s] Hail and well met good sir.
[2518.2s] That to you too this is the uh f-r-o-s-t-s-k-i-m-m-r.
[2523.5s] Ah the frost skimmer.
[2524.5s] Yeah.
[2529.5s] Thank you for playing along with that.
[2532.1s] You're welcome.
[2534.4s] That's a fine looking fine looking craft.
[2539.3s] You are looking at the ship.
[2540.6s] She looks seaworthy.
[2542.7s] Our oh the frost skimmer has seen many a battles
[2545.9s] and going up north it's the finest ship you can get on.
[2548.3s] You look it over and it is a much smaller ship than most of the ships around.
[2553.3s] I start knocking on the wood like I'm looking for something like I know a lot about.
[2557.2s] It is a single mast ship about 60 feet long and about 20 feet across so it is
[2565.2s] considerably smaller than all the other ships around you.
[2569.0s] Okay it's not the size of the ship that matters.
[2571.2s] Is there a genie on this boat?
[2573.5s] He says no there's no genies on the boat.
[2577.5s] Who is this fine fellow in the turquoise with the saber?
[2581.8s] He looks rather genie-like.
[2583.2s] He's one of the crewmen.
[2584.2s] Oh no name.
[2585.8s] You know they're gonna die.
[2588.7s] He didn't name them.
[2589.6s] He didn't bother to name them.
[2591.0s] I didn't even give each of them a each of them a character so you know that's fine.
[2595.8s] His name is Gene E.
[2599.1s] Gene.
[2602.0s] Tom and I decided we think it's really funny.
[2605.6s] Larusta says as a matter of fact there is one guy named Gene
[2609.1s] who doesn't have a last name so we'll just give that to him.
[2613.5s] Good old half face always playing along with our shenanigans.
[2617.0s] Larusta or Larry is a is a human and he wears a mask over his face or like a
[2627.1s] covering on his face.
[2628.7s] You see massive scarring over the eye of his of the right side of his face.
[2635.0s] How long is our trip going to be here Larry?
[2638.3s] Well it's several days.
[2641.9s] Trip we have to go up the Sword Coast.
[2644.0s] Could take us anywhere from five to eight days to find what we're looking for.
[2649.4s] What are we looking for?
[2651.3s] I think we're the ones who tell him that.
[2657.3s] Sorry Tom.
[2658.3s] No that's fine.
[2660.9s] I thought maybe he was taking us like to a destination and then we were branching out from there.
[2666.4s] Must be going to take us to the last known sighting of Tiefling Macoth right?
[2672.2s] I would assume.
[2673.3s] He says well the information that I was given from Lady Silmarhalve
[2678.1s] was that the the Tiefling you're looking for
[2682.2s] Macoth reported her progress to the host tower of the Arcana brotherhood by way of
[2688.8s] sending spells and her last report spoke of seeing ice hunters paddling their sealskin boats
[2693.9s] towards a huge iceberg flattened like a plateau across its surface but ringed by icy peaks
[2701.4s] and she had intended to follow the ice hunters and investigate the iceberg.
[2706.0s] After that no more reports came.
[2708.7s] Attempts to find Macoth by the brotherhood using scrying and other magical means only
[2713.7s] located her ship adrift ahead and heavily damaged.
[2717.2s] Some of the ship's crew have been seen dead but no signs of the Tiefling's
[2722.2s] Tiefling sorcerer were ever found which is why they believe she might still be alive.
[2726.9s] However there is the lair of a dragon who is who is very powerful.
[2733.4s] He is the name Ruthator and he has been known to control through fear
[2741.1s] control different clans up there.
[2743.1s] He himself has he knows magic is what I'm trying to say here
[2747.5s] and he is a very powerful dragon and no doubt has protected his location of his lair
[2755.5s] and if Macoth is alive in addition to the lore that she can you know share
[2761.0s] regarding the Drakorn the arcane brotherhood would be most grateful to get her back
[2766.0s] and any other information she has gained where she is being held.
[2769.9s] Would it be a bonus if we kind of took a Ruthator the dragon out of the equation?
[2776.2s] I mean you guys are fighting dragons right?
[2778.3s] You betcha.
[2779.2s] Well yeah I mean ultimately we kind of want to sway them to her side.
[2783.2s] We could like bridge the divide and all come together.
[2786.8s] It doesn't sound like he's that kind of guy rules through fear and whatnot but I mean.
[2791.7s] From what I've heard of a Ruthator he's a he's a he's a mean motherfucker.
[2798.3s] Can we get on this boat?
[2799.2s] Let's do this thing.
[2801.0s] Yes so you guys climb aboard and he hands you all the clothes that you would require winter
[2807.3s] winter garb and I call top bunk and I run down into the
[2814.2s] Turns out it's all just single cots so there are no bunks.
[2818.2s] What are we working with?
[2819.4s] There's bunks.
[2820.8s] Of course.
[2822.1s] As Larust is kind of describing his ship he says there are 40 crew aboard.
[2827.5s] We do have room for you in in the bunks.
[2831.2s] I already have my like entire room area set up.
[2833.4s] They're sent with candles.
[2837.2s] I don't light them.
[2838.1s] It's a wooden boat.
[2838.8s] I'm not stupid.
[2839.7s] It's just for just for the film.
[2842.0s] It says yes please don't use fire on my boat.
[2844.6s] Okay.
[2845.3s] That would be great.
[2846.9s] Done or not done.
[2849.0s] You know what I mean.
[2850.9s] I'll put this one out right now.
[2852.3s] I apologize.
[2853.0s] No whispering Mui Telliente to your sword either.
[2857.1s] Geez.
[2857.8s] It takes you about five days travel up to the sea of moving ice.
[2866.3s] You are told by Larusta, Larry.
[2869.8s] You were told by Larry.
[2871.0s] I'm just going to call him that.
[2872.3s] It's probably easier.
[2873.2s] Yeah you're told by Larry as the sight of more and more icebergs become more
[2879.3s] frequently that you are in fact now in the sea of moving ice and that his ship is the
[2884.0s] best ship because it is light and easily built so at night if we choose or if we get stuck
[2890.8s] we can all get off and lift the boat onto the ice floe.
[2896.2s] In portage.
[2897.4s] He says it is about night time now as you guys are pulling into the area
[2904.3s] of the sea of moving ice and he says it makes no difference to me or my crew but
[2909.2s] if it makes a difference to you whether we stay on the water or on the ice at night there are
[2915.3s] creatures in the area both in water and on the surface but whichever you guys prefer we
[2921.8s] would just keep going until we find something or we can pull on and rest for the night.
[2928.7s] You've done this before.
[2929.9s] What's your your best guess for how we should proceed?
[2932.6s] Yeah, Lair Bear.
[2933.1s] What's your professional opinion?
[2934.4s] Likely if it were just me and my crew we would just stay in the boat.
[2937.9s] Okay sounds great.
[2938.7s] We will stay in the boat.
[2940.2s] I like that you didn't object to me calling you Lair Bear though so I feel like we really.
[2944.7s] Well you guys have been traveling for a few days so you guys you guys are
[2948.9s] developing a suite.
[2949.3s] Maybe we've made out a couple times in the brig.
[2955.5s] There's no brig but there's a broom closet I'm sure.
[2957.9s] Yeah there is.
[2958.5s] Yeah it's the same thing a brig in a broom closet when there is none.
[2962.1s] It is getting to be nightfall now.
[2964.4s] Where are you guys on deck underneath?
[2966.7s] What's going on?
[2967.7s] I would be on deck taking you to the sites.
[2969.8s] Me too.
[2970.3s] Same here.
[2971.1s] You hear a loud splash come from the bow of the ship.
[2974.9s] I run over to look.
[2976.3s] I look for dolphins.
[2977.8s] There are no dolphins.
[2979.1s] Murfolk?
[2980.8s] Yous.
[2981.5s] Normals.
[2983.7s] Looking off the starboard side you see thrashing in the water and the heads of
[2988.8s] two crewmen disappear beneath the waves.
[2992.2s] Surrounding the boat you see the scaly heads and bodies of multiple marrow.
[2997.5s] They begin to rock the ship back and forth.
[3000.8s] As the ship hits a large wave you have to hold onto the railing and you hear more
[3004.9s] crewmen scream from port side as people and cargo are dumped into the water.
