1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,120 Stop right there. Thank you very much. Dumbgeons and Dragons. We'll be right back in just a touch. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,599 It's a couple days after the wedding. Kav, you've boarded a ship and made your way back to 3 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:23,280 Vintersmouth and you're pulling in to the harbor in the evening. It is a relatively calm 4 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:29,839 night. The sun is still setting. It's a beautiful like pinky purple sky. Vintersmouth 5 00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:35,280 looking very beautiful. There's a few people walking along the harbor and as the boat pulls 6 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:44,000 into the port and the gangplank comes down onto the harbor, you wave a courteous wave to Gorsh 7 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,760 who... Things have cooled between the two of them? I mean he's just been gone a lot. 8 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,679 Okay, that's fair. You are making your way. Where are you headed now that you're back? 9 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,840 It's not like night time, so you know sleep isn't necessarily first and foremost, 10 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,239 but where are you headed? I mean I'm probably going to head to the Brutal Awakening. 11 00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:12,799 You make your way over there. There's a bit, the crowd kind of fills out a little bit. 12 00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:18,960 The closer you get to it, a little more of that evening post-work vibe. Everybody's 13 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,720 looking to cut loose and as you push open the door, the sound of music pours out into the street 14 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:34,240 and light fills the darkening town square. You see several people from the town that you 15 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,920 recognize, but primarily your friends, Bonwyn, Bazaar and Alydin, across and they're seated 16 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,040 with Alistair. Bench clocks you as soon as you walk in and it says, 17 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Cav, you're back! Which pulls all of your attention to the door as you see Cav enter. 18 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Cav, first piece you notice is that Bazaar is at this point healing, but still a little black 19 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:09,520 and blue in the face. Cav, you're back! I'm back! It's so nice. Whoa! Bazaar, what 20 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:22,320 happened? Yeah, I got lost down a dark alley. Oh sure, yeah, okay. Bag over my head kind of 21 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,840 thing. He got the crap kicked out of him is what happened. You know, I was piecing that 22 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:36,480 together. Yeah, got the good shits kicked out of me. Cool, who'd you piss off? I don't know, 23 00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:42,959 but it's led to talking about some kind of weeping archive, some library. Oh yeah, 24 00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:50,879 that thing. So, total cool coincidence. My dad's fourth wife was totally talking about 25 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:56,959 the weeping archive and I didn't understand what she was talking about. Huh, no way. It's 26 00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:01,519 weird how when you hear about something and then all of a sudden you keep hearing about 27 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240 it everywhere even though you don't ever remember hearing about it before. Yeah, 28 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:14,480 did she have good, like would she tell you? Okay, I remember a bit of it, so I'll just 29 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,040 run it past you guys and just first thought, best thought, especially you, sleeping dude, 30 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:28,080 I think you're gonna be probably the most knowledgeable about this. Oh, you're back! It's 31 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,320 good to see you again. My Alastair Greaves, lovely to connect again. Oh, sorry, we don't need to do 32 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,760 that again, right? No, totally good. Good, good, good, good. Just to catch you up because I 33 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,560 didn't realize you were asleep. I thought you were just resting your eyes, but. Oh, 34 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,080 were they closed again? Never mind, you go. I was at my dad's wedding. Well, his fifth, 35 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:57,920 anyway, doesn't matter. What was the theme? Fifth time's a charm? Is that a theme? Fifth 36 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,800 time's a charm. Yeah, so. Kind of has a ring to it. Like a rusted gold? It was more of a rusted 37 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:15,439 root. That's what they walk down the aisle to? Yeah. Cool. Anyway, his fourth wife. Damn 38 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:20,079 me forgetting that song in my head, Tom. Fuck you. Send me on my way. 39 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,879 Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast, and I'm your dungeon master Russ More, 40 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:31,759 he, him. Also with me today is Amy More as Alydin, she, her. Well, that's nothing you 41 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,360 could bring me. Carla Maxted as Bonwyn Everbane, she, her. The Weeping Archive, 42 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,560 presented by Brood Awakening. Tom Laird as Kavlaran Goldweave, he, him. It was like 43 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,959 that really cool thing they do in the stories when, like, they drop that last little bit 44 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,800 of knowledge as they, like, walk out the room and it rocks your world. And Kyle Claset as 45 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,840 Bizard the Wizard, he, him. I got a rabbit in my hat.

You'll get a seven day free trial to check things out. And now let's get right 48 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:18,320 to it. Fuck it. Let's play. Anyway, so yeah, his fourth wife, the lovely lady, Dame Corvilla. 49 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,440 She's an interesting one. Anyway, she may or may not be a witch. That's neither here nor there. 50 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:32,960 But she said that at one point in my life, my father had signed a document. 51 00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:40,799 And she said, you know, being an older man of a certain. Anyway, he didn't read it, 52 00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:46,639 I guess, is the long short of it. And the words did not stay where he put them. 53 00:05:47,599 --> 00:05:54,560 They were taken, preserved and filed in the Weeping Archive. So, so. 54 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:03,600 Uh, so, so you, so you have a direct connection to the archive through your lineage? 55 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,079 I mean, I don't really know. Maybe. Yeah. Is that what you're saying? 56 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:14,399 Well, I mean, that's what sounds like your fourth step. I don't know if step step mom. 57 00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:22,800 Kind of just like one of Cav's ladies. Yeah. Is that what you call all of your father's 58 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,360 uh, previous wives is Cav's ladies. They're a whole team. It's the Goldweave girls. 59 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,199 Oh, oh, oh, that's fun. That's a cool name. That's a cool name. 60 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,000 That'd be a great spinoff podcast of several, several older ladies living together. 61 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,120 Putting it out there, not doing it ourselves. I mean, we will eventually. It's probably fine. 62 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,480 Well, that's very interesting. Not great, but interesting. 63 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,879 Yeah. I mean, not great was my first reaction too. So I'm glad we're on the same page there. 64 00:06:55,439 --> 00:07:00,080 Well, maybe it is good. Maybe it's keeping something safe. 65 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,560 I mean, it didn't sound like it when she was talking about it. 66 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,920 Will it help us find it? Because you can like, 67 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,280 sense it. Is that a thing, Alistair? Oh, will his last name be on it? It's filed. 68 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,240 It may be in it. I don't know if it will be on it. I don't know if, yeah, no. I mean, 69 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:30,080 from what I know is having there are probably guaranteed many names within the archive 70 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:37,040 throughout however long the archive has existed. Okay. But yeah, placing a name on the archive, 71 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,120 like kind of sponsorship rights. I don't know. Well, no, I mean, 72 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:45,199 The Weeping Archive presented by Brood Awakening. 73 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,480 And is there a process for learning about this fucking place? Because it seems like 74 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,680 you could be at a wedding and get your ass kicked. And I got the raw end of the deal. 75 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,319 I guess it depends which way you approach it. And I mean, it sounds like a very lovely 76 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:08,720 wedding. But also, it was all right. It's the fifth wedding. So I guess in the big 77 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:16,320 scheme of things like tomato, tomato. No swag, but open bar. Open bar is good. 78 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,440 Well, that's nothing you could bring me. Oh, oh, last thing, too. This is probably 79 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,440 the most important because she said it as she had already turned away from me. 80 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,400 It was like that really cool thing they do in the stories when they drop that last little 81 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,680 bit of knowledge as they walk out the room and it rocks your world. She said that if I 82 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:44,000 ever read my father's name on ink that won't dry, don't touch the page. 83 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,680 That sounds very straightforward. Yeah, and like ominous as fuck. 84 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,280 Yeah, I was just thinking. Yeah, no, that's. 85 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,320 As if you didn't need any more reasons to file things. 86 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,080 Oh, tell me about it. Touch paperwork. 87 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,720 Where's the open? I need them. What the hell do parents know? 88 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,200 Do you want to try it? I open up one of the books. 89 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,160 Which book do you open? Open up the one that we were 90 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,360 writing stuff in that like we were trying to talk to somebody. 91 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960 The one that was dropping the truth bombs. 92 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,040 There was the private shames book and then there was the one that was more. 93 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,920 Private shames will never not entertain me. 94 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,960 There was the private shames book, which is the one out in the town square that just 95 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,280 seemed to generate once somebody looked upon it. 96 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:38,080 The bizarre was writing in that was responding depending on what you put in there. 97 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400 It did show that amorphous ink characteristic. 98 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,440 Yes, yes it did. It took the ink that you had written 99 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,920 and created the response, be it a sentence or a pictograph. 100 00:09:52,319 --> 00:09:54,319 Yeah, yeah. Hold on. 101 00:09:54,319 --> 00:10:02,399 Hold on, Kav, was this stepmom, was she nice to you or is she like jealous of you? 102 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,079 Oh, no, I did not. Did she offer you an apple? 103 00:10:06,079 --> 00:10:08,079 No, no classic. You said she was a witch. 104 00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:11,599 No classic witch. Well, I mean, it seems like she's a witch. 105 00:10:11,599 --> 00:10:15,439 We had a little convo about it where like I'm pretty sure she's a witch, but 106 00:10:15,439 --> 00:10:19,439 she didn't really say she's a witch, but like I think she said it without saying it, you know? 107 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,800 Okay, but do you think that she would want to hurt you? 108 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880 Oh, no, I don't think so. She was always pretty cool. 109 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,160 I think just, you know, circumstances would like naturally want to pit us against one another, 110 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,240 but we've never, it's always been tight. We've been good. 111 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240 Sounds like your dad might be the villain if he's now on his fifth wife. 112 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,600 He's 100% the villain. 113 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Oh, so I mean, you probably had a united friend against the old man, right? 114 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,320 Yeah. I think maybe you 115 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,360 should listen to her then. 116 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,879 Okay, cool. 117 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,600 If it was a word of warning, maybe you should listen to your fourth mom? 118 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,440 Well, no, she's like only, okay, it's really complicated. 119 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,080 She's the fourth wife. I was the offspring from the third wife. 120 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,480 And then the two previous wives are also in my gang, but, you know, we're all cool. 121 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:10,960 It's a gang. 122 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,360 So you're the gang leader. 123 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,320 You're a ring leader? 124 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760 Oh, no, absolutely not. It is a partnership through and through. 125 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,280 Okay. A lot happened at this wedding for you. 126 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,320 Oh, yeah. No, it was just real busy time. 127 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,720 You see Alistair begin to flip through some pages that are just all over this table 128 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,240 and he's pulling stuff out of his bag. 129 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:36,000 I think that reminds me, you see him drift and fall and thud on the table. 130 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,640 And as his head hits the table, you begin to hear the town bells ringing outside. 131 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,879 That's probably a bad sign, right? 132 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,720 I'm really tired of those bells. 133 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,220 Me too. 134 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,799 I guess let's go see. 135 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,840 Everybody in, not just you, but everybody in The Brutal Awakening gets up and heads outside. 136 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,039 Except for Alistair? 137 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:01,919 Except for Alistair. 138 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,279 Do we put him in the recovery position before we go so he doesn't, like, 139 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,399 I don't know, choke on his vomit or something? 140 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,679 You head out into the street after preparing Alistair in the fetal position 141 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,120 and you hear the bells ringing and you look over. 142 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,840 They're town alarm bells. You've heard them as the monsters were attacking. 143 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,000 You've heard them several times in the past before. 144 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,360 There's one down at the harbour.
