[180.6s] the clip-clop of horses going down a very quiet street as they move towards
[186.0s] tower where the ruckus is a little bit louder Glim and Sully have just broken
[192.8s] out of jail Moot and Gabriel are leading the way to get back Glim's items
[203.0s] Glim how do I is your room locked how do I get in I don't know what do you
[208.1s] guys think they don't know they saw me get taken away by the guard should
[211.0s] I just go in and say like everything's fine and scoot up to my
[213.9s] room is that easier yeah we totally do that I think you could probably do that
[218.3s] because they're not gonna stop me from going in my own room no and I mean if
[221.9s] we're just real quick about it I think we can be in and out of there
[224.7s] before anyone really notices okay moot can you go in and make sure
[228.2s] there's no guards in there first oh yeah no city guard yeah yeah I'm
[233.9s] gonna I'm gonna bust on in no I'm just gonna walk in normally you hop
[238.5s] hop down and up to the door stepping over a couple of drunken people you
[244.0s] look back and you see Gabriel kind of look longingly at them you swing the
[252.3s] door open and you look in you don't see any any guard there it's a kind of
[257.9s] half-packed house from what you are used to they're at their busiest but
[263.1s] no guards okay yeah so I like poke my head back outside and give glim the old
[270.5s] like man head motion over here then I scoot inside I said to Gabriel be bad
[280.3s] to leave without them right well yeah well yeah cuz I mean he wanted to get
[288.8s] her you're kind of just a tag-along hey I am essential to the outbreak of the
[295.2s] prison situation the outbreak like an illness so you carry along bad omens
[301.8s] with you is that what you're saying now I just sometimes say the wrong
[305.2s] thing he takes a sweet from his flask hey wash here he hesitantly hands it
[312.9s] towards you I take a moderate-sized sip for a halfling it's empty and I say
[321.3s] douche and hand it back to him inside glim you enter into the bar everyone
[330.6s] seems mostly busy they don't they don't really see you come in and I
[336.5s] assume you're trying to just be quick and to the point not really catch
[339.7s] the eyes of anybody yeah I'm just gonna like I just got back just gonna go up
[344.3s] to my room yeah you yeah you absolutely can do that you make it up the stairs
[349.7s] and to the door and as you open it your room is destroyed like nobody
[357.5s] obviously cleaned anything up from when it was tossed earlier your porn mags
[363.4s] are everywhere housekeeping came and then just like so yeah I mean you got
[374.8s] to kind of look around a little bit underneath some stuff possibly to find
[377.7s] everything and is there anything you just grab all of your stuff yeah
[383.5s] basically okay yeah you load up a bag and I grab a couple blankets okay
[389.6s] stealing blankets from me you walk back down the stairs and you catch the eye of
[394.9s] one of the bartenders I remember I mean you've been there a while you've
[401.3s] probably met them all at this point yeah Barlick that's the one that I
[405.9s] keep flipping to so you were so close with the organ man he he kind of
[410.5s] sees you come down with the blankets you put them in your bag or are they
[414.4s] in your hands how big is your bag well I'm pretty big so it's big like okay
[423.5s] it's a back it's a proportion proportional size backpack okay sounds
[428.8s] good so he sees you come down with all your stuff is like everything okay
[433.9s] you leaving I ran into some friends so I'm gonna go we're just yeah we're
[439.4s] gonna we're gonna go uh I'm gonna go hang out with them I think I
[444.0s] probably owe you some money right have I been paying do you prepay in Dungeons
[448.2s] and Dragons hotels I don't know I mean we'll say that you have you have been
[452.3s] paying we'll say it's a silver a night I don't know how much money you
[458.3s] actually have me neither you have it on your sheets but I don't know if I
[464.2s] do oh my god we'll say that you've been spending kind of a silver a day
[469.4s] food and and bored we'll just kind of make note you've been there for I don't
[474.1s] know say six days seems like a lot going minute by minute yeah 24 in there
[482.6s] for two days but whatever all right no we can go yeah we'll say two days
[486.2s] cuz yeah I think it's early yeah it's only the middle of the night you met
[490.8s] moot and then he went and so two nights yeah so we'll say you spent two
[495.4s] silver maybe you settle up right then okay hey I'm not sure when I'll be back
[500.2s] so I should I should settle up and I okay yeah I heard you got taken taken
[508.6s] out by the by the town guard it was a total misunderstanding they like I met
[514.7s] this guy and he stole a thing like you know wrong place wrong time I'm
[519.4s] always so friendly so right they assumed I had something to do with it
[523.1s] but obviously I didn't obviously not all right yeah so just a couple silver
[528.8s] and hopefully see you again I mean it would be great even though I didn't do
[535.3s] anything if you could just like not mention that you saw me back here I'm
[541.2s] trying to persuade then roll a persuasion check I'm going to look on
[545.7s] roses faces like I'm definitely gonna say something right as a 17 I'm very
[551.8s] persuasive it's the PAlydin in me it's my burgeoning PAlydin powers yeah sure
[559.8s] I mean as long as you say everything's okay then it should be should be good
[565.3s] I'll keep it on the down low trust me when I say it was definitely all a
[571.3s] misunderstanding okay yeah yeah of course no problem no problem at all
[576.5s] and I quickly exit not too quickly that it looks suspicious I normally exit
[584.2s] the building ever try to do a normal thing normally never no I mean yes
[590.0s] that's my hope my whole existence is trying to do normal things normally and
[593.7s] being an awkward weirdo okay yeah you make it back out nobody really
[600.7s] pays too much attention to you after that and you get back out and
[605.1s] I assume you you didn't say you went in with her so I know I already left I
[609.4s] thought yeah no that's fair yeah just making sure and so everybody's seated
[613.4s] up in the carriage are we are we laying in the back with blankets over
[618.7s] top of us Tully's for sure sleeping in the back there's no booze what's
[623.8s] even the point yeah I mean I'd probably like trying to hide now you
[627.0s] hop in pull the blankets up over you and as Gabriel goes to snap the horses
[631.1s] again he's like hey moot could you uh he pulls a flask and a glass out of his
[637.3s] did you go fill those like back in the bar yeah here here's a he hands you a
[644.8s] silver piece so yeah it should be enough okay do I just ask for like
[649.8s] your usual is there anything in particular just just fill it fill it
[654.4s] with beer okay fill it with with fire okay it's fine right shuffle back off
[664.4s] the carriage and hop on in they're a bartender available yeah Barlick's
[670.7s] there he catches your eye and says yeah what can I do for you you're back
[674.0s] again Gabriel yeah here yeah I know actually we're just heading out for
[680.4s] a quick night magic lesson he needed a refill on these a quick night magic
[687.5s] lesson yeah apparently it acts differently in the daytime and at night
[692.2s] I don't know I'm new to this I'm just going with what he's telling me okay
[696.1s] so just just a beer and this is for him so okay yeah he said fire I'm
[704.2s] assuming you'll know what to do it's fine yeah he pours a amber red liquid into
[711.5s] the flask and then he fills up the beer and hands it back to you it's
[715.4s] silver oh yeah okay here you go then I like flick it up over to him perfect
[721.4s] I'm always trying to do the moves right make a dexterity check that is a
[728.4s] seven he rolled a seven as well so that goes wide as he tries to catch it
[737.0s] and fumble it and it falls to the ground says really kid sorry I thought
[742.2s] it would look cool I heard about your lobster claws but I wasn't so certain
[747.6s] that that's how fine go hands work all right with your night magic you go
[757.3s] back out as Gabriel sees you he's taps the horse say come on catch up I mean I
[766.3s] wouldn't think you would want me to potentially spill these for you but
[769.4s] don't spill them boy so I what increase my step a little bit and then
[775.6s] does he get the horse to start and then stop I think that would be funny
[783.9s] but yeah make it make a dex check is you're just see how much of it you
[788.4s] don't spill cuz they're spillage oh that was an 18 oh no there's very
[794.1s] little spillage like it just kind of dribbles off over the side as you
[797.2s] kind of hobble up there and sit down beside and say nice work you're
[801.7s] learning it's good all right all right it was this a lesson he hands you
[808.2s] the rope and he takes the drinks from you what's the flask back in his
[812.4s] pocket and says where are we to I don't know I mean I guess we need to get out
[817.5s] of here or we need somewhere to hide or we need to go somewhere anyway right
[823.2s] well all them all them soldier types are moving out tonight so there's
[826.9s] increased guard at the at the gates that's not really that good no no what
[834.0s] a night for a jailbreak am I right right well I mean if you're gonna do
[838.2s] it probably tonight's the best night because so many of them are heading
[842.3s] down to the well of the dragons there anyways well I guess we could maybe head
[847.2s] back by my men does there oh he's got ideas sure there was a nice a few
[855.9s] opportunities to hide in that building yeah yeah sounds like it sounds like a
[859.5s] good plan to YouTube back there yes yeah I don't know who Menda is but I
[866.6s] mean I trust you guys Menda Menda got us those thieves tools oh great yeah we
[872.6s] should we should get those back to her him him yeah yeah okay I'm good with
[879.2s] that moot you know the way Glim and Sully you're covered up by a bedsheet
[884.2s] so you don't know really where you're going but you hear the sound of
[888.3s] rushing water the farther you go kind of sounds like you're going over one
[893.2s] of the bridges and you make it back to Layton Mendez Gabriel goes up and he's
[898.8s] like do you remember the knock on the door I tried to write it down but you
[903.3s] made me tear up my notes you're supposed to remember you just but that's
[910.3s] how I remember things as I write them down he goes up and does the knock
[914.6s] again so you listening well I'm not allowed to write it down so I'm
[918.8s] paying more attention this time all right it's a couple knocks three knocks
[923.6s] couple more knocks and then kind of a did it got it couple three couple that
[933.5s] uh okay I think I got it cool all right a little while passes actually
[940.5s] kind of a long while passes because it's the middle of the night and then
[944.5s] you hear I assume all four of you are at the door now I mean I would have to
[949.4s] think so are you in the back I mean no because I mean I said that I trusted
[953.1s] them wherever they were taking us so sure I am crouching in the wagon okay
[961.8s] just wait sure quite kind of a long while passes and Gabriel's kind of
[966.3s] just rocking back and forth drinking his drink pretty good one good I'm
[973.0s] I'm glad he'd the the bar at bar Barley Bar Bar whatever his name was I'm glad
[978.8s] he did a good job yeah did it did a great job you hear soft shuffled steps
[984.2s] and then the slider opens up glim you're seeing them for the first time
[990.5s] but you see light coming from behind a face and you see black eyes with
[997.4s] bright golden flecks in them and the slider closes back up a few locks go and
[1004.5s] the door opens up and he says you're back so soon yeah we well we we got
[1011.7s] our we got my friend out of jail and you brought them here we didn't know
[1017.5s] where else to go okay just come on in come on in Gabriel you're coming
[1025.2s] into yeah yeah I guess and I look back at the carriage and I kind of say it
[1031.5s] short one you coming hey that is not a very nice nickname of course I'm
[1037.8s] coming it's just more comfortable to sit up here than it was to stand down
[1041.3s] there so yeah all four of you go in very rich tapestries and very warm
[1049.0s] woods as you enter you smell incense kind of burning that has been burned
[1053.8s] throughout and you enter into a very comfortable living space and this is have
[1061.9s] a seat draws make sure the curtains are drawn and kind of peeks out and so
[1067.7s] you acquired a mode of transportation yeah we we figured we needed
[1072.2s] something to to get our friends around town it is it is it yours just
[1079.4s] rented for the night okay good and where what are your plans from here you have
[1089.0s] two fugitives hi I'm glam it's nice to meet you yes pleasure pleasure he
[1095.5s] extends his hand sorry I didn't give a description of Layton Menda to you
[1100.3s] but he is a bald headed tiefling two large horns come up and out of his
[1108.6s] forehead and wrap down around his ears deep purple skin and yes golden flecked
[1113.6s] black eyes like there's no whites to them they're all black and he's in very
[1119.5s] luxurious brown and purple robes extends his hand he says yes glim
[1125.8s] pleasure to meet you my name is Layden Layden Menda and you my friend oh
[1133.1s] yes hi Sullivan slight sully I think these are yours and I hand him the
[1140.3s] thieves tools he picks it up and swiftly opens it and closes it yes yes these
[1146.7s] are mine thank you thank you oh thank you they came in quite handy good
[1153.0s] also this is a really nice place also your eyes are like crazy like it is
[1157.6s] like looking at a starry sky mm-hmm yes yes well I don't know what to tell you
[1163.2s] there but you know the beautiful it's all I'm saying like you got some
[1167.2s] cushy stuff around here it's a great place for someone to take a nap
[1173.6s] I'm gonna go take a nap do as you wish the adults will talk hey I'm an
[1184.0s] adult I'll be listening my eyes will be closed where my ears will be open yeah
[1189.2s] cuz we should probably make a plan sully you don't want to be part of the
[1192.0s] plan making you're the one that's so good at all the sneaking ah geez you
[1196.6s] and your compliments yeah okay I'm in all right really easy it's a hard hard
[1203.7s] sell there said to butter that bread a little bit we broke out of jail
[1207.6s] together I feel like we got a little bonding going on so the Gabriel I assume
[1214.0s] you you will be staying here and these three will be going on their way and
[1220.5s] Gabriel says well yeah yeah probably be easier to sneak three unknowns out
[1225.7s] rather than than myself yes yes of course what is your plan what is your
[1235.3s] story three three of you what where have you come from and where are you going
[1242.3s] well like I said my name's glim and I have a destiny to save the world a
[1248.2s] destiny to save the world how cute I'm pretty sure these two are meant to
[1252.7s] help me I think they have a destiny too Wow did you know about your
[1257.3s] destinies I just wanted to learn magic once I met a girl named destiny
[1262.9s] and she was like super nice at first and then she was like kind of a bitch
[1267.5s] later I can't keep a straight face and do my shit when I see you guys it's
[1277.0s] just so like accurate and I love it not about people named destiny but
[1284.8s] that no just only would know like that that would be what Sully would
[1289.1s] say makes me happy fair enough fair enough okay so save the world is there
[1297.5s] somewhere you want to be that you wish to be information you wish to have
[1302.6s] because we're getting you out of Neverwinter so which direction should
[1308.8s] you go not north okay I mean that's pretty specific well I mean not
[1317.9s] really there's three other directions well if you were to go west there's
[1324.2s] there's water if we could put you on a boat take you somewhere perhaps far
[1332.6s] away from here maybe I don't know don't know where the boats go we
[1338.4s] could just roll in with it here we could sneak you out amidst the troops
[1344.1s] as they head down to the well of dragons and you could split off perhaps
[1349.2s] towards water deep perhaps somewhere else would get you out of out of the
[1355.6s] eyes of the sons of alagondar I assume is who you're now running from the
[1361.1s] sons of alagonquin who and the what now is that the is it like an eye
[1365.8s] and like like and then I like make horns but then I'm embarrassed because
[1371.2s] he has horns and then I'm like like is that awkward but I just kind of make a
[1377.6s] face like realizing and then there's like the tassel is that that think we
[1382.7s] saw that in the basement of the prison he makes no real emotion or flinch on
[1390.3s] his face as you're freaking out about this says yes and I horns he taps his
[1396.4s] head and looks like some sort of beadwork or dripping liquid from the eye
[1403.1s] perhaps that sounds terrifying it is it is it is not it is not pleasing but
[1411.7s] you have seen this this image we we saw it in the basement of the prison
[1417.0s] as I'm saying this I'm realizing I also have horn so I like had no reason
[1421.7s] to be totally weird about that do we can you tell me again what they were
[1428.0s] called these sons of alagon are yeah you know that the prison warden yeah I'm
[1438.8s] familiar with her yes miss ma'am meow meow oh yeah well pretty sure she's
[1444.6s] working with those sons alagonquin yes are they are they related to the
[1451.3s] call to the dragon I need to help defeat the call to the dragon I'm a
[1454.4s] follower of Bahamut and they're trying to raise to you Matt and he does like
[1457.9s] no bueno for me I feel like you're gonna get a pamphlet out and we might
[1474.8s] all moods been writing in his notepad and he says how do you spell a
[1478.5s] like a la gondar exactly like it sounds go in there if you actually want it it's
[1488.4s] a la g o n dar oh my god it's like literally the only phonetic spelling
[1494.8s] that ever has existed in Dumbgeons and Dragons no X's no mystery why no
[1499.8s] apostrophes in the middle for some reason I like it the sons of a la
[1505.2s] gondar believe they are the true rulers of never winter and that Lord Dagle
[1511.0s] never ember perhaps is a false ruler a phony hey that's why they wanted his
[1517.9s] ledger it was ledger yeah this ledger I open my bag and I bought a peek in
[1526.4s] interesting yeah I don't know what to do with this I mean I can't give it
[1532.8s] no no that would that would not be good Lord Lord never ember has got a temper
[1539.6s] that one Lord Lord never ember has a temper oh I'm pretty sure anybody with
[1544.6s] the first name Lord has a temper that's not his first name it's only just so
[1551.2s] confused what's what's in the ledger that I don't know this language I pull
[1558.6s] it out and I serve fanning it do you know how books were fluffering through
[1570.0s] it and I was like fluffering isn't a word it is now you know exactly what
[1574.6s] I'm talking about might I take a look at the book yeah all right he opens it
[1582.2s] interesting he flips through none of you none of you could read this no
[1588.4s] language is this I don't know I didn't I didn't look at it he shows it to you
[1594.8s] it's written in under common he says no definitely not yes no you see it's
[1602.6s] kind of vaguely elvish but very different in the intricacies of what it
[1609.0s] is it's interesting that they would want this book but seems that they
[1616.0s] did it is a list of names no real association beside them are there any
[1622.3s] names you recognize in it there are a few town officials yeah many many well
[1632.0s] um under their meetings not gonna go very good tomorrow I can just say that
[1637.7s] what what do you wish to do with this book do you wish to keep it in
[1642.6s] your possession or try to perhaps offload it well if it's important to
[1654.3s] would it be worth perhaps relocating fugitives well you want me to sell my
[1660.9s] book and then you'll relocate us but a mere suggestion I mean there is
[1667.5s] always something in exchange for for goods and services as moot knows he is
[1674.8s] he's he is owing a certain thing for the thieves tools that you have
[1680.2s] returned to me tonight yeah the routine that Gabriel knew right yes yeah
[1685.1s] like a dance routine see that's what I thought but apparently not oh why
[1692.6s] I don't know if I if I if this book is so important then we should probably get
[1697.8s] it back to the rightful owner well yeah but I mean he's gonna be so mad I don't
[1702.4s] think he will I think we did him a great service by getting it from miss
[1705.9s] ma'am meow meow yeah but the only reason miss ma'am meow had excited I took
[1711.0s] it but he doesn't know that and if you return it I'm sure you'll
[1714.3s] appreciate it I don't know what about your friend Merv are we gonna try
[1720.6s] and save him or yeah I really like to I just really can't see a way to find out
[1725.2s] how to do that I feel like we have a lot of things going on right now and I
[1728.6s] don't know which one is most important who's Merv Oh Merv is a really great
[1735.4s] guy fishermen stuck in the clink with me just for doing like fishing stuff
[1740.4s] not fishing well enough efficient too well anyway arrested for not fishing
[1746.2s] well enough I don't know anyway if this town is harsh he helped me to liberate
[1752.9s] this book from Lord Never Ember but in the middle of that a giant portal
[1759.1s] opened up and these guys jumped through and they stole Merv like a
[1763.7s] giant poor Gabriel can we can we make giant portals you can make a
[1769.4s] giant portal no I'm asking him if we can yeah you were just good at the
[1775.8s] hand jobs it is possible to open a portal I don't believe you are
[1792.3s] presently able to open one it's funnier because you said it
[1800.8s] intentionally it's the only dirty thing you've ever said not on purpose you
[1807.2s] know it's the unintentional hand job sometimes it just happens when you're
[1811.5s] supposed to sneak up on you're fluffering a book and I'm sorry what
[1825.3s] I don't remember portals it is possible to open portals using magic I don't
[1834.9s] believe you have that capability I don't have that capability is that like I
[1839.3s] don't have that capability yet perhaps or just in general I mean they're the
[1846.4s] magics exist and tapping into wild magic you can do many things it is
[1851.4s] possible that given the right motivations you may come across that one
[1856.6s] day cool and mood just writes portal with two underlines in his book
[1863.8s] exclamation mark hey Sully what were the guys like they took Merv
[1871.9s] well it all happened so fast you see I don't remember I think they were in
[1879.2s] robes yeah I they people in robes seem like the kinds that would jump out of
[1884.8s] a portal don't you think seems like also mystical and magical and they
[1888.6s] jump out of a portal and then disappear they knew kung fu oh and they
[1897.7s] were very strong and that is why I could not save Murph hmm so they
[1907.3s] kind of like digs his foot into the ground like obviously embarrassed that
[1912.1s] he was absolutely useless not fight and they took his friend and he's like
[1917.5s] well I don't know who portaled in to take your friend or where they might
[1924.6s] have gone it sounds like you three need direction need to figure out
[1931.6s] where you're going where your destiny is taking you Bahamut you say well
[1939.5s] ultimately my destiny is going to take me to demand Thor I need to go to to
[1945.7s] Jared time or on the eastern side of the sea of fallen stars because I
[1948.9s] need to declare myself to Bahamut but I think I don't think I'm ready to do
[1954.8s] that yet I think I need to see a little bit more of the world before
[1959.4s] we go do that so I want to stop the cult of the dragon mm-hmm okay so what
[1969.6s] if we went with the if that's where the soldiers are all going well let's
[1974.0s] go join the fight what do you guys say
[1977.8s] oh yeah um listen so the cult of the dragons like really big right and they're
[1988.6s] like super mean and stuff and like we don't want to be mixed up any when you
[1992.7s] those guys and I'm sure that there are other people working on this and
[1996.2s] like like you know what are three inexperienced two inexperienced and
[2002.8s] one highly handsome person gonna do in in the grand scheme of things though
[2009.2s] really I mean like we probably shouldn't go in there I can't go back
[2013.7s] there well glim is this is this what you think your destiny is with your
[2020.5s] saving the world I'm not sure yet I don't I don't know for sure and I
[2029.0s] might maybe know for sure if it was but it certainly seems like the right thing
[2033.8s] to do but Sully if you don't want to go join a crusade I understand but what
[2041.4s] do we do then you don't think we can find Merv and you don't want to go
[2044.9s] join the fight what should we do instead you're making me sound really
[2050.3s] indecisive if I might make a suggestion we need to get you out of
[2057.0s] Neverwinter because I feel the bells will be tolling soon signaling your
[2063.4s] departure perhaps we send you in a caravan disguised amongst the troops
[2071.4s] there are many mercenaries many people who are just off to fight the
[2075.1s] good fight it's not like you're marching off in a troop full of
[2078.4s] armored soldiers marching line in line you would blend in quite simply
[2083.2s] and you split off perhaps move towards water deep there are many people who
[2090.9s] have gathered there you could certainly be far outside of the sons of
[2097.1s] Alagondar's reach at least for the time being if they feel they need to
[2101.9s] pursue you that might change later in water deep you will find a temple
[2107.5s] of Bahamut where maybe you can get some more direction on your destiny if we go
[2115.6s] this way out like when we're gonna be not traveling with the cult of the
[2121.9s] dragon though right no that is hopefully not the case probably never
[2127.7s] even see them cult of the dragon are at the well of well of dragons
[2131.8s] right which is where these soldiers are marching to and water deep is halfway
[2139.0s] give or take yeah okay hey magic man you think you can work on that Porter
[2147.2s] thing on on the way I mean yeah it sounds like it's pretty advanced but
[2154.1s] I'll they'll see what I can do is there anyone there to teach me magic
[2163.2s] where do your abilities come from good good moot well Gabriel has been
[2171.4s] telling me well and he's not the only one but apparently just wild magic
[2177.0s] good I hate to say that you're on your own but I feel like this trip will be
[2186.0s] good for you it will push you in ways that might bring you closer to the
[2192.2s] wild magics have you had any incidences why I broke I broke
[2200.3s] Gabriel's mug when I was freezing his drink is that what you mean he
[2204.4s] chuckles looks to Gabriel as Gabriel is reliving the moment and it's very
[2212.7s] disappointed
[2215.1s] no that is not what I mean but just be warned that tapping into wild magic
[2221.4s] sometimes has consequences and to be aware that some dangers could come
[2229.6s] from using them oh well Gabriel how come you didn't say anything about this
[2235.5s] there's a controlled environment we were down by the water I felt like
[2239.4s] anything that could have come through we could have just drowned in the
[2241.9s] water so wait something can come through no you're fine come through
[2247.7s] what come what do you mean you're coming through tapping tapping into a
[2252.9s] man sometimes you know when you're when you're trying to do something
[2257.1s] trying to think of an example like you're trying to write down what you
[2263.0s] learn today oh I do that all the time sure yeah trying to write down what
[2267.1s] you learn today and then your mind drifts and you write down a recipe
[2272.0s] for your grandmother's or father's pilaf like a rice dish yeah yes that's
[2286.0s] why I like to take notes as it happens then I can then I don't have to think
[2290.1s] back at the end of the day fair enough fair enough so I mean all I'm saying is
[2295.6s] sometimes you're trying to do one thing and says that thing might work
[2298.9s] and then something else might happen like maybe there's a big fireball or
[2303.7s] maybe there's little gremlins that come out of nowhere who's to say
[2308.7s] don't know till it happens or maybe a portal opens and that'd be cool or
[2314.7s] maybe a portal opens and that'd be cool let's hang our hat on that one good
[2318.5s] good job you're so fucking who just kind of looks at his hand with the the
[2324.9s] feather necklace wrapped around the wrist and he's just kind of like no
[2328.5s] fuck don't worry you're doing really good it hasn't happened yet
[2335.2s] usually it's happened by this point so maybe you're in your clear okay

[2572.0s] the door and he has gone down a set of stairs to a basement I follow him I'm
[2577.4s] like excuse me mister he turns and looks at you and says yes and his eyes
[2582.9s] glow gold for a second and then flashback yes sorry hey we didn't finish
[2589.1s] our conversation about the book for the getting us out of here situation right
[2598.2s] right but you have the book it just seems like a thing it was just in my
[2602.6s] hand I swiftly walked out here's your book thank you would you care for a
[2610.3s] flute I have no need for a flute what about a large smooth gray stone
[2620.5s] just just a stone well I mean I don't know it could be more than a stone but
[2625.4s] I take it out of my pocket does this mean anything to you he looks at it
[2634.5s] yes yes it does oh I could tell you but that seems I'm giving you yet another
[2644.6s] thing oh but what if you tell me what it is just to satisfy my curiosity and
[2648.9s] then I give it to you if you want it so I've I've given thieves tools to
[2652.2s] break you and your friend out of jail you got those back I still owe a favor
[2656.3s] that's not my favor though no moves on that I've given thieves tools to
[2661.1s] break you out of jail you and your friend I am getting the three of you
[2664.5s] out of the city through means to pass by the local law enforcement and now
[2671.4s] you're asking me for yet another favor nothing in return fine okay no rock
[2680.1s] for you I don't need the rock okay I can explain to you what the rock is
[2685.4s] oh yeah but I'm a busy man I have to get you out of the city I'll give
[2690.7s] you the flute for the information about the rock make a persuasion check 18 so
[2703.8s] persuasive so persuasive oh well go fuck yourself oh 18 don't mean shit
[2713.1s] look okay listen can I love it with you for a second of course you can I
[2719.9s] don't really want to go where the cult of the dragon is going uh-huh why not
[2725.7s] well I kind of was like working with him for a little bit mm-hmm um and I
[2734.5s] just um I just really can't go back so I'm putting a lot on the line here
[2740.4s] for well for glim and I'm not entirely sure why it's not really not
[2746.4s] really my thing but like you know I'm just I'm trying to I'm trying to make
[2756.9s] some good choices right and I'm gonna be honest I don't know what kind of
[2761.5s] what kind of you know level you're on you've given me something you don't
[2769.9s] want to go okay you're associated with the cult of the dragon no well not
[2779.3s] anymore not by choice what you hold in your hand is a stone of illusions you
[2787.0s] think of something and you put the stone down and it creates an illusion
[2792.4s] of that something I put it down and I think about myself there is a unmoving
[2803.3s] image of yourself that pops up right above the stone oh holy man you don't
[2812.6s] want this rock I don't need this rock are you sure this rock does not have
[2818.9s] the same value as what we are trying to negotiate here for oh fair enough
[2823.6s] listen I just don't know what your intentions are with the ledger so I'm
[2829.2s] trying to be a good guy the ledger holds very important information that
[2832.6s] decides whether Lord Daigle never Ember remains in control of the city
[2837.6s] or the sons of Alagondar make a move to overthrow him whose side are
[2845.2s] you on I am a middleman oh that's a dangerous place to be you would know
[2853.9s] well how about I how about I just owe you a favor okay the favor can't be for
[2861.4s] me to give you the book though that's fine
[2865.3s] ain't no dummy I feel after you arrive in water deep there will be a favor I
[2872.9s] don't kill children why would I kill children I thought you were a child for
[2879.1s] the first five minutes that we met well yeah I get that a lot um just making
[2887.5s] sure been in some sticky situations before not in the business of killing
[2892.1s] children fantastic I put my hand out shake on it he lowers his hand down
[2901.4s] do you I grasp it and I and I like I'm a vigorous handshaker like he looks so
[2909.9s] put off by this but takes his hand back so small join your friends take
[2916.7s] your ledger I will arrange for the necessary facilities to get you out
[2922.3s] well thank you so much I really appreciate it if you didn't tell
[2926.8s] anybody that I was working with them not anymore but I mean it's just
[2931.8s] something that follows you around you know he smiles and says of course your
[2937.0s] secret is safe with me not thanks really appreciate it I pick up the
[2941.2s] rock and I'm like this is so this is crazy like I got a magic rock in my
[2945.3s] pocket as you pick it up the illusion disappears play with it and put in my
[2951.7s] pocket and walk up the stairs just tickled we see Leighton Menda turn back
[2957.2s] and begin working at his desk and he is seemingly talking to himself and we
[2963.9s] go back upstairs and after a little time passes he comes back up and says
[2969.9s] appropriate arrangements have been made if you'll please come with me
[2976.7s] everybody he ushers everybody to climb back into the carriage and directs
[2981.1s] Gabriel and moot to head down to the southern part of Neverwinter you pass
[2988.0s] through some wrecked areas from the earthquake that tore through
[2993.8s] Neverwinter many many many many years before and much poorer places than you
[3000.6s] have generally been staying north of the river has been very well kept and
[3005.3s] very excluded from a lot of the goings-on with the cult and refugees but
[3011.4s] this section of the city is just littered with people they're packed
[3016.8s] tight shoulder to shoulder you get to a certain point and you have to get
[3022.5s] out of the carriage because there is physically no room for it to go and
[3026.4s] play moves you through the crowds to the edge of the city and beyond the
[3035.1s] city walls there are guards but you seem to just walk past them with little
[3040.6s] to no problem and there are three carriages waiting and he says this is
[3048.4s] your caravan you will ride with them you will become their friends you will
[3054.9s] integrate yourself with them and you will blend in and move far away from
[3062.0s] Neverwinter at least for now they will turn off and move towards water deep
[3067.1s] once you're in water deep I suggest you search for the temple of Bahamut at
[3072.6s] least to start well thank you so much I'll remember you when I'm going to
[3077.9s] save the world thank you for your help I feel like we will meet again
[3082.7s] sooner than that and I still owe you the one yes you owe me the one
[3090.2s] and Sully you owe me one I do finger guns and I write down Sully one moot
[3101.1s] one of course and for saving the world that is the one you owe me Glim I bid
[3108.7s] you adieu and he tips his hand and blends back in with the crowd and
[3113.0s] disappears beyond he's kind of creepy hey he's seen he was very mysterious
[3121.0s] mystical as shit you want to know what my rock does obviously you tell them
[3128.9s] as we kind of like grab our stuff you're loading into the caravan and yeah
[3135.5s] what do you see you put down the stone what happens when you put down
[3139.2s] stone I'm thinking about Glim and Glim appears oh and I like jump back like
[3147.0s] what the how and I like go like kind of try and poke it I assume my hand
[3154.2s] like goes through it goes through it yeah it's a yeah it's not a physical
[3158.2s] illusion but yeah as soon as you touch it it kind of wavers yeah is it
[3162.5s] always Glim that's amazing no it's not always Glim I pick it up and she
[3167.2s] disappears like it's an illusion stone anything I think about and I put the
[3170.8s] rock down it shows up oh that's really cool can you believe he didn't
[3178.9s] want that stone I mean it seemed like he had a lot of cool stuff at his
[3182.3s] house so maybe he already has a few is Gabriel still with us or where'd
[3187.8s] we where'd we go yeah I guess we could probably say adios to Gabriel
[3191.8s] yeah Gabriel helps you with your stuff into the caravan and he says I'm sorry I
[3198.0s] didn't tell you about the possible dangers yeah what do I like what do I
[3206.0s] do if that happens sometimes it's not a big deal probably just you know just
[3212.0s] take it easy you know do what you're comfortable with slowly push the
[3217.3s] boundaries you'll probably be fine okay but what if it's a big deal oh we
[3222.9s] can probably kill it with fire probably kill it with fire I have fire breath she
[3227.0s] has fire breath look at you've got a crazy told of hooligans you guys I
[3232.2s] told you it was destiny this is pretty cool pretty cool but yeah if
[3238.8s] something comes through maybe just ask it if it's cool hey hey you cool
[3246.1s] hey stop killing that guy you extra dimensional thing that just showed up
[3250.6s] you cool sometimes like sometimes it's just an extra spell that happens
[3256.0s] sometimes it's something they're not always bad things it's asking if it's
[3260.7s] cool or not and if it turns around tries to eat your face then maybe use
[3263.6s] the fire breath can it ever be good things you're talking about a lot of
[3267.7s] bad things sure sure yeah it could be good things okay wouldn't it be great
[3274.6s] if you accidentally magic ice cream every time you cast a spell that'd be
[3279.3s] so great see it could be something like that cool that would be pretty
[3284.1s] cool is that something I can like think about what I'm guessing magic you can
[3289.4s] think about anything you want move you do have cold magic so it stands to
[3293.2s] reason at some point you might conjure some ice cream by accident or
[3298.3s] otherwise very least maybe I'll put your illusion thing down and say
[3303.2s] ice cream and then like to do it like to motivate him no to make him think he
[3313.5s] did it oh yeah no for sure yeah he'll probably write it down he'll get
[3317.7s] distracted it'll be fine oh we're gonna have fun hey Gabriel I think I
[3324.3s] think I speak for all of us when I just say how much we appreciate all
[3328.2s] your help and I hand him what's a drink cost at the Fallen Tower you think the
[3335.1s] silver got him two drinks cost a silver I mean I think there's cost a
[3339.2s] silver but on economy of this town makes no sense I know I thought that as
[3342.9s] soon as he was like silver like we don't really like do the whole money
[3346.5s] thing you don't know what he put into the flask that's true well that's
[3350.1s] true um some real top-shelf food I can give well we established the good
[3355.6s] stuff was water was water I give Gabriel a silver and say buy yourself a drink on
[3362.0s] me okay thank you it's been a pleasure getting to know the three of you and I
[3367.9s] hope that I will see you again very soon I'm sure I'll be back for more
[3373.7s] lessons in no time great I hope to disappear into the night someday and
[3378.8s] never be seen again I'm gonna save the world three real
[3383.6s] different directions I can't wait to see what happens next as you hear the the
[3389.9s] sound of the caravans beginning to move out yours begins moving in one of the
[3398.2s] people at the caravan who was helping you with your stuff will say begins to
[3403.7s] call you and say we're heading out okay Glim I guess I guess we're gonna
[3410.0s] go save the world with you
[3440.0s] hold please holding just if you could just hold for a second you just play
[3458.4s] some music god damn it I literally just read this
[3476.6s] intermission I'm trying to see what my destiny stuff is but I think I have to
[3488.3s] do a bunch of stuff before that when she passes each one she passes goes just
[3496.9s] gotta open roll 20 I know I just saw it it's not in this sheet sorry
[3502.7s] from she passes each one she passes goes which is also super creepy I would
[3521.4s] give my heart gladly I'm happy for this to keep happening or I can I'm
[3537.6s] ready now okay but each day when she walks to the scene she looks straight
[3547.8s] ahead not at me go for it the songs know our land umbrella pants
