1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,280 Do you remember what you hit play on? It's Dumbgeons and Dragons, and we'll begin in a moment. 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:13,679 The group of you make your way back to City Hall and Kav splits off and goes back to at least pretend that he's doing the job that he was tasked to do. 3 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:23,039 While Bonwyn and Bizard head off into City Hall, you've left Alistair back at Dembunsdo, still asleep at the table. 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,240 Yes, we don't need to bring him with us everywhere. He really slows down and escape with the sleeping. 5 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,640 I'll be safe there. 6 00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:46,480 Kav, you walk up to the rubble, which is basically what it is. And the stone arch that was there collapsed in words. There's just this jagged cavity. Since you've been gone, they've replaced 7 00:00:46,519 --> 00:00:47,960 You can breathe for the first time. 8 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,359 Yep. 9 00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:51,760 I heard it as I said it. 10 00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:56,079 Amy's not here. I had to. She would have sang it like a beautiful princess. 11 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:59,439 You feel this weight lifted off of you really more than anything. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:13,120 Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast, and I'm your dungeon master Russ More, he-him. Also with me today is Karla Maxtad is Bonwyn Everbane, she-her. 13 00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:15,560 I feel like this is above Kav's pay grade, oh boy. 14 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:18,599 Tom Laird is Kavlaran Goldweave, he-him. 15 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,719 Wait, what does that mean? 16 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,879 And Kyle Claset is Bizard the Wizard, he-him. 17 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:23,799 Nerd. 18 00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:37,599 Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Patreon supported podcast, and we'd love for you to join us today at patreon.com slash Dumb Dragon Cast. You'll get a seven day free trial to check things out. And now let's get right to it. Fuck it, let's play. 19 00:01:37,600 --> 00:02:06,720 The small wooden barricades that were put up, somebody's replaced them with this temporary iron barrier. It's too thin really to stop anyone who's determined, but just sturdy enough to discourage anybody who's curious. There's a sign that hangs so you've missed some things. Slightly crooked that says structural instability do not approach. 20 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Around the area, you notice that there are a few people who, I mean, you've spent some time in Vinter Smith, so you don't necessarily know everybody, but there's some people that are milling a boat, and they look like perhaps they're from out of town. 21 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:55,719 There looks to be, you would classify him as a mason. He's got a work belt with like a hammer and trowel. He's inspecting the damage, but never really touches his tools. There's a man seated on just like a stoop, not too far away. And it looks like he's writing down something, looking up at the wreckage and then continually just jots back down in his book. He's keeping notes. 22 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:10,079 None of them seem to be interfering with anything. They don't seem to be asking questions. They're just watching. There's a couple people also who you've noticed now that you've returned that have done a couple laps. 23 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:28,680 As one of them passes, and they're just barely out of earshot, you hear one of them say to someone who they're passing in the other, in the opposite direction, barely whispered, we only intervene if it changes classification and then keep walking. 24 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,280 I feel like this is above Cav's pay grade, oh boy. 25 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000 I'm gonna go over to the guy with the notepad. 26 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,560 And I'm gonna say, hi, did you happen to see who put up the sign and the barricades? 27 00:03:46,600 --> 00:04:07,439 Oh, yes. Some folks from City Hall, a couple guards and some other more clerical workers came down and helped set everything up. And he goes back to his book. It looks like he's writing on a report. You've seen many of them filled out, half of them poorly. 28 00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:20,759 But it looks like a very official like City report. And he flips the page and there's the same report and he begins filling it out. What started, what you caught, very similarly to the first report that you saw on the other page. 29 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:23,120 You filling out some reports? 30 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Oh, yes. He kind of is a little guarded with it. We're just making sure no one assigns it meaning it no longer has. 31 00:04:35,159 --> 00:04:36,279 Wait, what does that mean? 32 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Well, it's better to leave it visible. As we can see, rumors die faster that way. You'd understand, right? 33 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:51,720 Uh, sure. Yeah, I think so. 34 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:54,600 Okay, good. He goes back to writing in the report. 35 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,920 Are there any other people walking by, like making their circuits again? 36 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:14,640 You kind of start walking back and you hear another voice from one of these people who have stopped and are observing casually. And you hear, no, we're not sealing it yet. 37 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:25,479 Okay, so I've heard classification and sealing it. I head back to the guy with the notebook. Hi, sorry. Sorry to bother you. 38 00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:26,279 Oh, no, of course. 39 00:05:27,599 --> 00:05:35,599 So what will happen to this? Like, you want to leave it visible so people don't think anything is askew or whatever. No rumors. 40 00:05:35,599 --> 00:05:35,919 Yes. 41 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,519 But like, you guys fill it in, seal it off, dig it out. What happens? 42 00:05:40,599 --> 00:05:45,839 We don't do anything to it. He looks at you like dead in the eyes. 43 00:05:48,359 --> 00:05:49,839 So you don't you don't do anything? 44 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:52,439 We don't do anything to it. 45 00:05:55,719 --> 00:05:58,120 Oh, okay. Who's we? 46 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,319 He looks at you confused. We're gonna cut into City Hall. 47 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,879 Why did they leave me alone? 48 00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:14,199 I know I need to be doing something, but I am a himbo and this is beyond me. 49 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,079 Who's we? 50 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,319 Do we work together? 51 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,319 Oh my god. Do you also work at City Hall? I wasn't there much. 52 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,800 You two are looking for Oak, correct? 53 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Correct. 54 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:36,120 Okay, you head in. Bonwyn, you know, whereabouts his office is. You've been here. Bizarre, you work here. You know exactly where his office is. 55 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,199 The two of you stroll past the front desk and they look up at you. 56 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:44,079 Are we? Isn't there like 10,000 stairs? 57 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,399 Okay, you don't stroll past. 58 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,319 I mean, we're all a bit fitter now than we were a few months ago with all the adventuring, but still. 59 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,959 Oh, maybe they'll put in some kind of moving sidewalks. 60 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,800 It's like they don't want people coming to complain. 61 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:02,840 Exactly. 62 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,560 You stroll past the front desk and there's a new receptionist there this morning and she looks up at you and says, yeah, do you have an appointment? 63 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,480 Oh, we're just going to see Oak.

A lot of people, I understand, went back 194 00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:58,719 and went to Kingstown and then several others. 195 00:12:58,719 --> 00:13:00,039 Some came here. Just came here. 196 00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:02,319 You know, it was the closest, closest place. 197 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:05,439 River drying up is kind of wild, though, like it's because the river 198 00:13:05,439 --> 00:13:11,360 is so wide here and it's just not that much further away that just. 199 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,360 Yeah, I know it just kind of forks off. 200 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,720 But I haven't.
