Let's play. 22 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:21,419 Yes, I well I'm an archivist and I've been doing research on 23 00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:23,500 Hmm. 24 00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:50,220 It's been hard to talk to people about this because it makes it sound like I'm like some sort of like mythical treasure hunter and like people don't really get or understand what I'm looking for. Well, I need to know more now. Yeah, I mean, I we've like seen some shit in the past little while. So I think well, I personally used to believe the world was 25 00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:59,340 well ordered and normal and not particularly magical or mythical. I don't think that anymore. 26 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:00,939 No, we're so wrong. 27 00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:04,860 There's so many unknowns. So tell us tell us more. No judgment. 28 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:28,020 Okay, okay. Okay, so what what my research has been finding and what I've been what I've come here because there's been an increase in activity in Vintersmouth specifically for various magical or fae oriented events that have been reported throughout the realms. But I'm looking for the weeping archive. 29 00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,259 I don't know what that is. 30 00:04:31,459 --> 00:04:53,899 I'd like the wet of the weeping with the paper of the archive seems like a bad combination seems sad like a very bad idea. I know. But this is like, it's a mytho historical refuge, referenced in well no fewer than seven censored city records and quite possibly containing primary source fae mortal contracts. 31 00:04:54,019 --> 00:04:54,459 Wow. 32 00:04:54,659 --> 00:05:01,659 Oh, and the ink and the ink supposedly weeps as in like actual tears. 33 00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:04,579 Like, so you can't read it? 34 00:05:05,979 --> 00:05:11,139 Well, I mean, that's that's yet to be seen because it's I haven't actually seen it. But like, 35 00:05:11,139 --> 00:05:13,179 Oh, you said city records? 36 00:05:13,579 --> 00:05:15,939 Yeah, Kingstown. I'm from Kingstown. 37 00:05:16,099 --> 00:05:17,459 Cavs from Kingstown. 38 00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,019 Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. Oh, oh. 39 00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:21,539 Do you guys know each other? 40 00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,540 Well, no, I mean, I don't think so. 41 00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:31,220 Cav also went to school. He's very smart. He has a great he has a smart job. 42 00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:34,740 Maybe maybe Cav could get us records. 43 00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:48,259 Maybe. Do you work for the city here? Yeah, I work for the city here. Well, I work for Kingstown. Anyway, long story short, yes, I work for the city here. I am on the leave, though. 44 00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:50,300 He did go to prison briefly. 45 00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:54,740 So, I mean, it was a bit of a misunderstanding. You weren't even here for the trial. All right. 46 00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:58,340 I know. I just you know, I'm a gossipy bitch though. 47 00:05:58,340 --> 00:05:59,699 I'm cheesing. 48 00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:02,420 Bench comes over. 49 00:06:03,540 --> 00:06:07,420 Bench comes over and slams a few drinks down says, well, it's good to see everybody. 50 00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:11,699 Your new friend here who falls asleep.

87 00:08:50,299 --> 00:08:52,340 I mean, I don't maybe. 88 00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:56,779 What do you know about tiny mushrooms growing on food and singing rivers? 89 00:08:56,779 --> 00:08:57,740 Do you know anything about that? 90 00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:02,860 This all sounds like these things are are directly connected in what we believe they're connected to. 91 00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:05,299 And have you seen our eyes? 92 00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:12,859 You have you have you know, I don't like to draw attention to it because I myself have my eyes go rolled back into my head every now and again. 93 00:09:12,859 --> 00:09:15,059 And that's very polite of you, but it's OK. 94 00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:15,659 It is. 95 00:09:15,659 --> 00:09:17,539 I assume you knew what your eyes look like. 96 00:09:17,539 --> 00:09:21,699 I didn't necessarily need to say like fire eyes or like smoky eye. 97 00:09:22,379 --> 00:09:22,779 Yeah. 98 00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:27,859 Oh, fire smoke. 99 00:09:28,019 --> 00:09:30,779 Yeah, you have five minutes to do the perfect smoky eye. 100 00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:34,899 I mean, oh, my God, it was glowing blue before. 101 00:09:34,939 --> 00:09:37,620 Now it needs to be sultry, glowing, glowing blue. 102 00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:38,699 I I don't know. 103 00:09:38,699 --> 00:09:52,539 But what what I'm trying to say is here that I think that there is a direct connection to some sort of fae planar portal, like a rift, so to speak. 104 00:09:52,539 --> 00:09:55,259 Like, I think that that's what what's happening here. 105 00:09:55,259 --> 00:09:57,179 And that's what we think is happening here. 106 00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:58,340 Researchers in this space. 107 00:09:58,340 --> 00:10:04,059 And that's why I think if we if I came here, that there would be a way to get to the weeping archive. 108 00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:05,900 So it is our fault. 109 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:11,980 Yeah. Question is that like, would this be caused by someone like going to the fae and then coming back from the fae? 110 00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:13,940 And then coming back, maybe. 111 00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:17,100 Or what if someone was in the fae and then didn't come back? 112 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,020 Yeah, maybe they got trapped in the fae. 113 00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:21,180 Oh, if you left someone there. 114 00:10:21,780 --> 00:10:33,020 Well, I mean, travel, travel to and from different planes, including the fae, can have a rippling effect, depending on time spent there, like how they were actually got there, 115 00:10:33,059 --> 00:10:36,340 or what powers or beings helped get you there. 116 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,539 There are a lot of different factors that come into play. 117 00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:49,500 But if you know somebody, I mean, I'd love to talk to them and just pick their brains about exactly what happened, because that might help trigger some events and move forward. 118 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,419 And maybe they want to go to the weeping archive with me. 119 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:55,939 Not saying you don't, but. 120 00:10:55,939 --> 00:10:57,740 OK, well. 121 00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:00,220 Ta-da. 122 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,100 It's you. 123 00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:04,659 And he falls asleep on the table. 124 00:11:04,659 --> 00:11:06,740 Oh, OK, while he's sleeping. 125 00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:09,220 It's our fault, guys. 126 00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:10,299 Is that what we've just learned? 127 00:11:10,299 --> 00:11:11,179 It is our fault. 128 00:11:11,179 --> 00:11:12,939 I think it's our fault. 129 00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:17,980 Things are, things are changing and none of it, though, has been really bad. 130 00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:19,220 It's true. 131 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:21,059 I'm kind of excited. 132 00:11:21,059 --> 00:11:26,059 This kind of sounds more exciting than the old guys. 133 00:11:26,059 --> 00:11:27,100

pro-con list and see how I feel about it. 137 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:48,579 I do have responsibilities with the business association, but what if things do start getting bad and we don't do anything about it? 138 00:11:48,579 --> 00:11:51,419 Speaking of that, while he's still asleep, we trust this guy. 139 00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:54,179 He seems innocent because he falls asleep, but is he? 140

00:13:12,019 --> 00:13:14,740 I'm Alistair, by the way. 172 00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:16,460 I'm Alydin. 173 00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:18,100 It's nice to meet you. 174 00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,100 Alydin,

00:13:25,300 Sorry. 179 00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,660 Does the narcolepsy affect short term memory as well? 180 00:13:27,699 --> 00:13:31,740 Sometimes just a little like catch up period. 181 00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:32,740 That's OK. 182 00:13:32,740 --> 00:13:33,219 That's OK. 183 00:13:33,219 --> 00:13:34,899 I only half the time forget where I am. 184 00:13:34,899 --> 00:13:38,059 I feel like that would make your job as an archivist really 185 00:13:38,059 --> 00:13:39,139 extra challenging. 186 00:13:39,139 --> 00:13:40,299 Quite difficult, yes. 187 00:13:40,299 --> 00:13:43,620 Has this been something that you've been dealing with your whole life? 188 00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:44,579 It has been. 189 00:13:44,579 --> 00:13:46,339 Wow. 190 00:13:46,339 --> 00:13:48,539 When you think of your childhood, would it 191 00:13:48,539 --> 00:13:55,699 have been more like nest-like or like more in a house or an apartment? 192 00:13:57,819 --> 00:14:01,459 Well, my parents, they had an apartment in the city. 193 00:14:01,459 --> 00:14:02,500 Oh, OK. 194 00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:02,980 Yeah. 195 00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:03,980 And I stayed there. 196 00:14:03,980 --> 00:14:11,219 And like I had a very cozy bed that I just I bunched everything 197 00:14:11,219 --> 00:14:13,980 up around me in order to get the best night's sleep. 198 00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:15,860 It made sure that I didn't like roll out 199 00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:17,579 of the bed in the middle of the night. 200 00:14:17,579 --> 00:14:19,139 That's good for safety. 201 00:14:19,139 --> 00:14:21,459 I know there's no way you could possibly remember this, 202 00:14:21,459 --> 00:14:25,419 but do you feel like you were born or you cracked out of a shell? 203 00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:27,180 Does that? 204 00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:29,140 Does any of that seem familiar? 205 00:14:29,140 --> 00:14:31,860 I don't have specific memories of when I was born, 206 00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:34,540 but I don't think there was a shell involved. 207 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:37,300 OK, this is how we make small talk in Vindersmith, by the way. 208 00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:38,940 Oh, OK, that's very cool. 209 00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:41,180 Were you born in a shell? 210 00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,220 I was not. 211 00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:45,780 Typical dwarven birth. 212 00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:47,380 Don't ask further questions. 213 00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:50,340 OK, well, if you have somebody who was born in a shell, 214 00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:51,380 I would love to meet them. 215 00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:54,180 That sounds like something that I would want to keep a record of. 216 00:14:54,180 --> 00:14:56,260 Could be another interesting fey trait. 217 00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:59,260 Kate, why do you have so many shiny things? 218 00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:02,420 Oh, I just really like shiny objects. 219 00:15:02,420 --> 00:15:04,460 They make me feel safe and comfortable, 220 00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:06,580 and I collect them. 221 00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:11,260 And if I see one, if it's a reasonable size, of course, 222 00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:13,420 you can't take every big shiny thing 223 00:15:13,420 --> 00:15:15,100 that you see on the street. 224 00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,860 My house is full of them, though. 225 00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:20,580 Like, roof to the ceiling, floor, walls, all over the place. 226 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:21,540 I've traveled all around. 227 00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:22,660 The roof to the ceiling, right? 228 00:15:22,659 --> 00:15:23,980 The roof to the ceiling. 229 00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:26,100 Roof to the ceiling, yeah. 230 00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:29,019 I pull my bucket, and I shift it over to my other hip 231 00:15:29,019 --> 00:15:32,459 because my glowing duck, a monkulous, is in there, 232 00:15:32,459 --> 00:15:33,819 kind of like. 233 00:15:33,819 --> 00:15:34,620 Oh, don't worry. 234 00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:35,779 I try not to steal things. 235 00:15:35,779 --> 00:15:37,419 That's all things that have been. 236 00:15:37,419 --> 00:15:38,579 Just like found objects. 237 00:15:38,579 --> 00:15:40,139 Found objects that maybe, yeah. 238 00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:41,819 That's kind of cool, but I don't know you. 239 00:15:41,819 --> 00:15:43,500 So, you know, just being careful. 240 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:44,620 Of course, yeah, be careful. 241 00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:45,500 No, I wasn't trying to be rude. 242 00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:49,419 No, it's good to be wary of strangers. 243 00:15:49,419 --> 00:15:50,899 Good lessons. 244 00:15:50,899 --> 00:15:55,459 So are you teaching your child to be wary of strangers? 245 00:15:55,459 --> 00:15:56,539 Oh, this is so funny. 246 00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:57,579 I'm not a child. 247 00:15:57,579 --> 00:15:58,980 I'm 14. 248 00:15:58,980 --> 00:15:59,860 She's 14. 249 00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:01,939 Of course, sorry, I keep forgetting 250 00:16:01,939 --> 00:16:04,620 that adults are 14 here. 251 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:05,139 Well. 252 00:16:05,139 --> 00:16:06,459 I mean, pretty much. 253 00:16:06,459 --> 00:16:12,139 Basically, Alydin grew up fast. 254 00:16:12,139 --> 00:16:12,539 Right. 255 00:16:12,539 --> 00:16:15,259 Wrong side of the tracks, et cetera, et cetera. 256 00:16:15,259 --> 00:16:15,659 Yeah. 257 00:16:15,659 --> 00:16:16,299 Interesting. 258 00:16:16,299 --> 00:16:16,899 OK. 259 00:16:16,899 --> 00:16:17,779 OK, sorry. 260 00:16:17,779 --> 00:16:18,860 I would refer to you. 261 00:16:18,860 --> 00:16:20,419 Kidnapped by a man. 262 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,140 There was like a made of banjos or whatever. 263 00:16:23,140 --> 00:16:26,020 So he pulls out more papers from his bag 264 00:16:26,020 --> 00:16:28,420 and he starts just kind of shuffling through them. 265 00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:29,940 Is it loose papers? 266 00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:31,060 Is it organized? 267 00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,300 It all seems like fashion papers. 268 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:36,500 There are some journals and some bound books, 269 00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:39,780 but there are a lot of like just scraps. 270 00:16:39,780 --> 00:16:41,900 It keeps falling down and it just spills everywhere. 271 00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:43,220 How do you keep it organized? 272 00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:43,900 So stressful. 273 00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:45,340 Probably with magic. 274 00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:49,140 Bonwyn, do you want to make a perception check, please? 275 00:16:49,139 --> 00:16:50,819 Sure. 276 00:16:50,819 --> 00:16:53,740 Are you going to play a game called Crow or Not Crow? 277 00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:54,220 Right. 278 00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:03,299 Well, that's a plus zero to my seven. 279 00:17:03,299 --> 00:17:06,299 I see a shiny object. 280 00:17:06,299 --> 00:17:08,139 Cav, you could roll. 281 00:17:08,139 --> 00:17:10,180 Cav could roll perception. 282 00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:13,299 Alydin, you could roll it, but you 283 00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:15,859 would roll at disadvantage for this specific thing 284 00:17:15,859 --> 00:17:18,460 because you weren't as involved in this thing 285 00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:21,420 You're not really in a doll yet. 286 00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:23,380 I know it's really weird everyone talking 287 00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:24,380 about me in front of me. 288 00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:25,740 Well, I just rolled a two, so I 289 00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:27,460 don't know how much worse it's going to get. 290 00:17:27,460 --> 00:17:27,980 An eight. 291 00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:31,180 I mean, it could get worse. 292 00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:32,579 Dirty 20 for Cav, though. 293 00:17:32,579 --> 00:17:36,460 So it's a flurry of papers for the two of you. 294 00:17:36,460 --> 00:17:39,220 And Cav, out of the corner of your eye 295 00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:43,500 as you're drinking and Bench has brought back some food, 296 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:48,019 something catches your eye from a very recent event. 297 00:17:48,019 --> 00:17:49,980 And it looks like a symbol that 298 00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:52,500 was tied to the ritual that you just 299 00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,019 went through at Bondman's Forge. 300 00:17:55,019 --> 00:17:56,660 Oh, OK. 301 00:17:56,660 --> 00:18:01,779 Am I able to alert anyone else but in a subtle way 302 00:18:01,779 --> 00:18:06,819 or maybe take that piece of paper for myself 303 00:18:06,819 --> 00:18:09,500 or just move it a little closer to? 304 00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:12,139 This is very active for Cav, so I'd 305 00:18:12,139 --> 00:18:13,779 like to see how this plays out. 306 00:18:13,779 --> 00:18:15,379 I like it. 307 00:18:15,379 --> 00:18:15,900 Me too. 308 00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,780 He has spread all across the table. 309 00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:22,660 He doesn't seem to be too protective of these papers 310 00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:24,259 at this point. 311 00:18:24,259 --> 00:18:26,380 Because it's all up there, steel trap. 312 00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:28,140 You got it. 313 00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:32,900 If you want to try and nudge somebody, signal somebody, 314 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:34,540 you could absolutely try. 315 00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:36,420 Knock a few off the table. 316 00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:37,380 Whoops. 317 00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:40,460 Depending on how stealthily or sneakily you 318 00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:43,060 want to do it, I would get you to roll stealth. 319 00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:45,259 If you want to be blatant about it, go for it. 320 00:18:45,259 --> 00:18:46,859 Start humming a lullaby. 321 00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:50,740 Oh, yeah, just wait for it to fall. 322 00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:53,900 I'll try to be stealthy in the fact 323 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:57,180 that I'm going to be obvious that I'm pointing out 324 00:18:57,180 --> 00:18:58,859 a few different things. 325 00:18:58,859 --> 00:19:01,460 But I'd like to be sly to be like, 326 00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:06,460 your attention needs to go to this one out of the bunch. 327 00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,940 I don't really know how I would do that off the top. 328 00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:11,099 We've all been working together for a while now. 329 00:19:11,099 --> 00:19:11,579 Right? 330 00:19:11,579 --> 00:19:13,180 Yeah, you're just going to signal to. 331 00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:14,579 So yeah, roll stealth. 332 00:19:14,579 --> 00:19:15,819 Let's say 15. 333 00:19:15,819 --> 00:19:16,659 OK. 334 00:19:16,659 --> 00:19:22,419 So I would say that you are successful in what 335 00:19:22,419 --> 00:19:23,699 you want to do. 336 00:19:23,699 --> 00:19:26,099 But Bonwyn, roll. 337 00:19:26,099 --> 00:19:27,460 I guess who are you doing it to? 338 00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:29,339 Alydin and Bonwyn or just Bonwyn? 339 00:19:29,339 --> 00:19:31,099 I think I'm next to Bonwyn. 340 00:19:31,099 --> 00:19:33,619 So I'm going to do Bonwyn for this one. 341 00:19:33,619 --> 00:19:37,019 Bonwyn, roll insight to see if you pick up on what Javis 342 00:19:37,019 --> 00:19:38,819 is saying. 343 00:19:38,819 --> 00:19:42,740 Switch dice, it did not get better. 344 00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:45,740 My insight, guys, fun fact, mine is 2. 345 00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:48,779 Oh, that's so good for you. 346 00:19:48,779 --> 00:19:50,700 Yeah, which ones do you have pluses on? 347 00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:51,500 Like decks. 348 00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,660 OK, yeah, so the traditional rogue. 349 00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:54,259 Got it. 350 00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:55,220 Yeah. 351 00:19:55,220 --> 00:19:58,620 So that is a 6. 352 00:19:58,620 --> 00:20:00,259 Again, I saw a shiny object. 353 00:20:00,259 --> 00:20:03,099 I'm learning a lot about myself as we interact here. 354 00:20:03,099 --> 00:20:03,700 Cav, you. 355 00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:05,299 I'm a crow. 356 00:20:05,299 --> 00:20:07,980 Cav, you are very confident that you've 357 00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:10,579 made a good signal, but then you 358 00:20:10,579 --> 00:20:13,779 see Alistair, he continues to shuffle papers around. 359 00:20:13,779 --> 00:20:16,099 And the one that you saw kind of gets shuffled in there. 360 00:20:16,099 --> 00:20:20,220 And Bonwyn still has not registered. 361 00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:21,619 So if you want to draw attention, 362 00:20:21,619 --> 00:20:24,299 you
