You welcome to name givers an Earth Dawn actual Play podcast. All right, so you guys are in Dei Chi, and it's later in the day, and Milosh is going to take you to a ritual site for I don't know, for navith. Is this kind of like some kind of special ritual you're going to do or just remember what I was going to do for some reason you want.
Right. I was going to show him the orb, trying to get his help with finding a better location to go to. So I was going to show him her. I was going to use the orb to call the fire dancer okay. To try to get his help. So we were just going not doing it in the city.
Yeah, in the town.
So we were just going outside of town a bit.
All right, and what are you looking for? For Moolig, specifically.
Because he had wanted to talk to her a bit, just to sort of because he was excited about Miles. Yeah, milash was excited about it being her. Like somebody descended from that family.
Right, okay.
So I was going to see if he had any better questions than I did, because David's not really the best at the right questions.
Okay.
She just sometimes gets stupidly lucky and blurts it out blurs out the right thing.
So I don't have the best notes of which things you guys know, which guys things you don't know right now.
And I don't have my notes on me at the moment.
Maybe Kirsten has some, but I got to think if there's any other questions or anything you guys would have. But I was mostly just trying to.
Sort of find the right sort of spot to go to, to try to get to the to reach the other fired answers, because I wanted to return.
What was left of them because I had the ashes. Yeah. Okay. All right. So later in the day, Milosh will actually lead you, and I guess barge will come along, too, to this space that's south of town, kind of off in an area that looks like not very many people go because it's a little overgrown, kind of hard to get through there. But he seems to know a really good path where you can't get stuck in thorns and things like that very easily, although not as big of a problem for Windlings. And it comes to this clearing where there is a very old stone architecture here in a circle, kind of basically like a circle of standing stones that are covered in vines, which have leaves that are starting to die back because it's getting into late autumn now. And there's a few runes carved into the stones. You can tell but it's very ancient, and you can tell that there's a space for a fire pit in the center that's been used for before. And Milosh will just kind of gesture at it and say, well, what do you think of my ritual site?
Think it's absolutely perfect. It's wonderful. It'll work just fine. And she's just going to flutter straight in, carrying the big orb again herself. And she sets it down into the middle of the fire pit and then starts to gather sticks and stuff to put on it and starts to build the fire around it.
And since we're already here, I'm going to look for spirits because you never know.
Yeah. Roll spirit. Let's see. That's just your half magic, right?
Yes.
Okay. I think, Faye, you notice a couple times that Simmer is getting a little too close to the fire. Or, like, where the fire is supposed to be set. You can have to warn him off so he doesn't light it. You're not worried about prematurely?
Oh, about lighting it? Yeah.
No. Hold on.
Sorry. Yeah. All right. Student the correct channel.
Hopefully it can't be worse than that.
Oh, it could be 22. All right. Pretty good. Yeah, 22. What are you looking for?
Just to see if there's any spirits around.
Which kind any particular questions you have or things you're trying to answer, or just general looking around.
Just generally looking around. Want to see if there's any of those little weird doodads.
Yeah, you see a female discraying. It's kind of floating in the air, like meditative pose there, and it looks down you. Oh, hello. Kind of cross legged, kind of yogi pose, I guess.
Oh, cool.
Floating in the air.
Hello. How are you, Boo Boo?
Well, what brings you to my place?
Oh, my friend is doing some stuff, so I'm just kind of looking around.
Very nice.
Yeah. You look like an adept. Were you an adept?
I was an adept, yes.
What did you do?
Illusionism.
I know somebody would be really interested in that, but he's not here. Yeah, I could maybe, like, if you're bored, you could come and hang out.
Oh, no. This is an excellent place to meditate.
Oh, hey, I'll let her know. Is there anything I should know about around here?
Well, this is an ancient, ancient place. New secret to the Saitan Empire. To the dwarves of Saita.
That's probably a long time ago.
Stops, looks up, thinks. Yeah, I guess it was.
From your perspective, were you Preschourged or during?
Oh, yes. Pre, scourge something with this place, protected it away from the horrors. They didn't seem to like this place.
That makes it nice.
Well, nice runes here. Maybe that's it. I don't know. Something quiet here.
I'm going to go check them out.
Then have a good time.
Enjoy your whatever you're doing.
It continues floating there.
Yep. And I gotta go and see if I can find anything cool in the runes. It's keeping the horse away.
Yeah. Roll, was it? Arcane vanguard. Half magic perception.
I can't remember what rank I am.
Hold on. You're almost five now, aren't you? If not five already.
Hold on. Yes, I am. Five.
Okay.
Is that perception based?
Yeah, 16. Yeah, it's not terrible. I mean, you're allowed to you're basically able to study and understand a bit more about some of the Runic protections here. It does seem similar but not the same as rights of protection. Kind of reminds you of some of the Eastern astral space. The patterns are similar to the rune beacon. Not the same again. But in that same vein, treat it as you learn a little more about protections and stuff.
Yes, I'll jot down notes.
Meanwhile, what's Navith building?
Basically she's building like a little sort of she's leading all the sticks because she can't carry big things. So she's leading all her sticks against the orb and kind of like almost teepeeish PYRAMIDI.
Okay. And like dragging over the another whatever she can.
If they want to she's not going to make them, but if they want to help, she will totally accept the help of being able to get bigger stickers.
Of course we're going to.
I'm sure at one point they glance over and she's like trying to drag a branch over. They could just see her, like with her feet up in the air that she's trying. Not even sure we let it get that far, though. I'm sure it still happens. Oh, yeah, it still happens at some point where she's trying to drag a branch over.
Yeah. And I've totally, like, wandered off.
That's not unusual.
No, milo. She'll give a hand once in a while too.
Once we sort of fracted throwing little sticks for the once we've sort of got a structure going, she'll like she'll put a little bit of glitter in just for good, you know, good measure. And then light it up.
Nice. I think that cut off there. But you said throwing little sticks to the fox kind of thing to distract him and me. Oh, very nice.
Feed them snackies while we're busy making dinner, basically.
That's awesome. Yeah. Roll half magic for quester. In this case, we'll go charisma.
Okay.
Because this.
Seven plus it's my circle. Right?
Your quester rank.
My quester rank. Right.
So that is use a devotion point if you want.
Excellent. I will totally do that. I'm just going to change that to come on, let me change it.
No.
Okay. So that is seven. So it goes seven plus five. Exclamation.
Whoo 27. Really good. So I changed the bot there slightly. There's now an underscore instead of a highlight on the rerolls so that you can still see the roll clearer. Yeah, you got some rerolls in there. That's really nice. So, yeah, 27. You're able to kind of accomplish a bit of a ritual there where you notice the flame is actually starting to crackle outside of just the normal orange and red and into the green and blue once in a while and kind of sparkling different colors. And you get to give it a few minutes and then eventually Udeg emerges again out of there and just going to pull up a description of Udeg again because in a while so huge troll and living crystal armor. There's some flames actually inside the crystal too, somehow. She's 9ft tall and she has twisted, b, curved horns. The horns are bigger than the average windling, so they're pretty big. 2ft at each side and adorned with various metal rings and some gems inlaid in the metal rings. Very dark tan, thick, wrinkled skin, very lengthy gray hair, huge giant axe strapped to her back. And she looks down and navith and hello. Navith. Well, what brings me here?
Well, this is Milosh. He is also a quester, and I was telling him, and I thought I would introduce you. And we're still trying to get you guys back to the I'm still trying to get find the others so I can get your ashes back. And I'm still not quite 100% sure where to go.
Well, that makes sense. And she exchanged pleasantries with Milosh, stating her full name, yulig, stone shaper, firewalker, all that. And Milosh have pretty sure Milos has a full name. I just don't know that I have it on me and that's okay. Probably have it somewhere. But it's an official character too. Oh, no, there is no last name, just Milosh. Even though it's one of the official characters. I guess maybe some disgrang don't go with last names. Who knows second names? I love how he's described as a fanatical quester of floranguas, an absolute bundle of energy. Excellent.
I wonder what that would be like.
I don't know.
Yeah, he'll exchange pleasantries and maybe even like a sort of dance with Yulig because Yulig is a fire dancer, although he'll notice that she's hesitant to dance and she'll explain the whole like, yeah, I don't really feel like doing that until my people's ashes are returned and they are avenged type of thing. Because I believe that's what she said last time.
We are working on that.
You're looking for a more specific location of where she yeah.
Where to return these ashes and also where she encountered them. So that where she was, where her group was when they encountered the Maddie.
The yuck yucks, right? She was a bit vague on that last time. Something she could remember terribly well. But she could give you her last known kind of location, perhaps. Yeah, some of that doll is very fuzzy. I think there was something about they were harvesting in the Miss Swamps, but give me a second.
Yeah, do have something along those lines.
Okay. Yeah. So she'll say we were journeying to the Miss Swamps. We were seeking a herb that grows there late in the year, and the fire dancers, they use this herb for a ceremony. But we were then ambushed by the disciples of Ragak and pretty blurry from there.
Sorry, where were they going again?
The miss swamps. So for her that's like, just south of Mount Algorac, which is where her kind of home was. And the fire dancers more or less roam that area. The grave. Well, I mean, the Ashen Hills, the Twilight Peaks in general, because that's where there is the kind of river of lava going from Mount Angrock into the Scarlet Sea and then into the Death Sea. So you could assume that they're fire dancing stuff generally, I believe it was disclosed to you they sometimes dance on the actual lava.
Yes.
And so being nearby, the Scarlet Sea, at the very least is something they like to do. But the Miss Swamps is a place that I mean, I think it's pretty obvious, the geography of why it's the Miss Swamps, because that's where the Serpent River starts flowing into the Scarlet River, the river of lava. So there's going to be some Miss.
A bad place for combat, to be sure.
Yeah. Also famous for all kinds of other reasons. This place, too.
So, no, you're going to keep missing.
Missing, yeah. The other thing is, there is like, if you're looking for places that are nearby, there there is the I don't know if city is the right word, but at least town of Trosk.
Okay.
Which is known to have a lot of questers at Jasper there, because it is one of the closest settlements to the Badlands, a place that a lot of questers at Jasper would like to try to heal. Otherwise, you're going into the mountain, into the troll boots, and there's just all kinds of troll boots all over the place.
All right, so thank you. Thank you very much.
And just going to look down at Simmer and look and then look back at, I don't know, Navith or over to Gareth and over to Faye, and then she'll say, Whose pet is this?
Oh, that song. He really likes Faye.
Gareth will nod that that's when I met them, when those two were playing around with each other.
He's his own creature. Yes, but he really likes her and thinks she's like what's the word again?
Awesome.
October cut off. Yeah.
Octok.
That was the word.
We're not really sure what octalk is, but apparently she's an octalk.
Let's do just a quick perception.
If I remember correctly, it seems to be anything bigger than it because it.
Didn'T call you walk talk.
No, but it called her that. And Barge.
And Barge. I think it's something to do octalk, too.
Yes. I think it has to do with maybe like a Bloodlines thing from, like, old bloodlines. I don't know.
Ulag will nod and go, that's possible. Not a word.
Then a lot of people could end up being that, because as Bloodlines propagate, more people belong to the bloodline, so more people would be.
Or maybe they just have, like, an old soul.
Look at Barge and go, sentient ogre. That's new. I don't recall having come across a name. Giver Ogre before arch is nice. Well, if the bloodlines thing theory is true, then perhaps there's a history behind the ogres we do not know about.
Maybe. Oh, no. There's a lot of things I don't know.
To be fair, most ogres I came across were quite mad, much like, she kind of scoffs and then kind of says, much like the cave trolls as she kind of looks at Faye. And Faye probably faye would probably know that cave trolls are, like, kind of these non sentient trolls that were driven mad by the scourge.
Interesting.
I don't know if others would know about them being that. Well, I guess you would, because you were sent on that silly journey for cave trolls on the river at one point. So.
One of the things I don't know is where's Lindstad.
Isn'T. He floating around looking at all the stones.
He's, like, buried in a ruin. He's, like, looking at stuff that's, like, covered up, and he's, like, totally buried in something.
Yeah, probably underneath all the, like, signs and stuff.
She kind of looks around, like, where's where's limbstat?
Guys, if you're looking around, you actually see, like, a foot sticking out somewhere.
Maybe there do you have anything glowing on you? Because it's dark. Like, you can probably see this light crystal sticking out where it shouldn't be. Will say, can you tell me where you met this elemental?
She just looks over to Faye. Your story. He's your friend. Were we at the it was when we did the tree thing. Yes, with the dragon. And what was it called? The town. I'm really bad with Linstad. What was the town name where the dragon lives? Where are you, Lindstad?
Hold on. And he'll kind of, like, back out of where he is.
What what's the name of the town? Up high. With the dragon.
Oh, yeah, with the giant tree.
Yeah. God, this is killing me.
Are they that out of it right now? They're both distracted too much.
Oh, man.
How long is Bulgaris remembering names?
Yeah, the place right there strains all the time.
With the sentient undead who.
Like, tea Baracho hold.
Yeah, that one.
We were at Barracha Hold, and their big, huge tree was, like, dead. So there was, like, a dragon, and we all, like, helped. And Lindsat helped the dragon do, like, this crazy RIT when we all kind of helped a little bit, but mostly Lindsay and did this big fancy ritual and burned the old tree and then the new tree. We planted this fancy seed. I put a lot of glitter in it. And then we did this ritual thing, and there was fire, and it went and then all of a sudden, there was this really big tree, and from one of my other little fires, the fox came out.
And during this, Lindsad just kind of waves at her and then crawls back into the hole.
Yeah. She will say, oh, I don't know what this means, but I don't know the way the pattern for this elemental, it's a little different from most elementals I've known. And I've known my fair share of Fire elementals. This one seems like it's been renamed at some point. Either it's been its name and gained a new one or got renamed.
Just a second, she's going to fly over to where Lynn said is and just grab his foot and start dragging him back out. We're talking elemental stuff. Okay, you thought you might want to listen because she just said that the pattern on the fox thing looks like maybe it's been renamed like our ship. So I just thought it might interest you being woo woo magic guy.
Fair enough. Okay.
And she does in fact wiggle her fingers and hands in the air like woo woo magic. So maybe you want to listen to this stuff. I don't know.
Okay. He'll wander over.
Maybe I'll get you do a perception based half magic for this for Lindstadt kind of element. Yeah. It would be elementalism though. Yeah, no, I'll go with elementalism.
No, that's cool. I just can't remember what circle is in that. Fifth.
Yeah, fifth, okay, that sounds about right.
Yep. All right.
Okay, 16. You would know that not unusual sometimes for people to rename things kind of odd because considering you'd think it just entered the world the way it did, it's conceivable it could have named itself that if it had lost its name some way, which would be a trouble actually line up with its lost memory.
You might think though I lost his memory.
And as you probably know, naming has a lot to do with magic and losing through some kind of magical ritual spell or something. Losing your name can really mess someone up a fair bit.
No kidding.
And what it does to an elemental who knows.
Well I mean to get the memory back, we could try finding its old name. And before you ask, I have no idea how to do that.
They will nod and say unfortunately I do not know how to do that either.
I guess I could ask some Fire Mountain Elementals if they recognize them.
That would be a good start.
And it just so happens we're going by Death Sea. So you know.
Yes. And I guess uligo do you one other answer navith about where to return the ashes specifically?
Yeah. Or a specific person.
Or a specific person. Okay. She doesn't know who is still alive of the group. Okay, that does worry her a little bit. But she will give you a say, a specific location. I don't know if I have one on my map in the Death Sea, but how about we'll take something off this map that will be really fun to get to? The dead man's gullet, it's called.
Okay, I like that.
Run.
Dot dot.
And this is a space that is kind of in between the scarlet sea and the death sea. It's a kind of a pond pool, I don't know what you call it, of lava that is in between the two.
Okay.
Yeah. You're really in the heat. Then you may want to ask Lynnstad about some magic for keeping cool as an element.
Fire protection, yes.
Not for that. Who knew? Like, I had it in store for something weird.
All right, anyone else have any other questions or any information they're looking for from Ulig?
This is kind of out of Garrett's wheelhouse.
You don't happen to know where I could find wing player, would you?
She'll almost ignore you and shake her head.
Didn't think so. Worth an ask.
Well, thank you very much for helping answer my questions. It was nice to see you again.
And do a kind of a little ritualistic bow, I guess, and vanish back into the flame. Big poof.
I'm just going to let that cool off before I touch it because I'll probably burn myself if I try to go into the fire and pull the orb out now.
Yeah, for sure.
So I guess Lynn said if you really want to, you can go back to crawling in holes or whatever it was you were doing in there.
Yeah, it's really neat. Okay.
You keep going and being dirty.
Meanwhile, you see Barge carrying up a big hunk of meat and putting it beside the fire. I don't know if you spoke.
Oh, no, she doesn't.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Barge. Barge. Come here.
Barge.
Yeah. What?
See this big rock? Can you stand it up straight?
And yeah, he will very easily move it. In fact, it probably isn't even all that big. It's just big to you, right?
Oh, yeah. Perfect. Thank you. And then he doesn't have to crawl into the hole.
He can just look. Faye's got the night off for that stuff. Just barge around.
Sabbath totally goes and lands on Faye's shoulder, then just hangs out, watching the fire and smelling the meat cooking.
It also made me think, how much does this guy eat Barge food on the ship? Or you have to bring like, some extra animals just for him.
But I would make friends with them and name them. We've got a donkey.
Well, then again, you also have a lot of trolls, normally.
Yeah.
The trolls are already eating a fair bit, probably, so I'm sure you have something arranged. Yeah, it's just like having maybe it's like having two more trolls.
Yeah. And we did lose some trolls recently.
Yes, that's true.
So it balances in a good way.
Not a bad way.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know if you lost any during that whole tentacle thing or not. Can't recall.
Don't think so.
No. Think so?
No.
You didn't say anything about it.
Yeah, I didn't say so. I would assume that they landed safely somehow. All right. Anyone else doing anything for the evening this morning?
Nothing else planned?
Milo, she'll be doing some flamboyant dancing and ritual stuff, florida stuff.
Navas will totally join in and happily learn these new things.
Awesome.
Adding your own little flair to them, of course.
For sure. Yeah. So what's the plan from here for the group? You stocking up on anything in deiti?
Probably should stock up on food and supplies like that the basics. But I'm sure B team took care of that.
Yeah. How much silver are you guys kicking around right now? Because we haven't let me just go.
Into my thing here and see if I've got that listed. It should be an equipment.
Checking out stallus's layer anymore or is he going to come back for that later?
Which one?
Sorry.
Stallus's care. Are you going to go since we're near here? Check it out now or check it out another time?
You know what? We'll check it out another time.
Okay.
Because we got to go and find that windplayer thing.
Okay. Priorities.
Yeah, priorities.
I love how that's his priority. And meanwhile, David's got a huge quest.
17,434 silver, two air coins, and we've got 34,016 kernels of true wood.
Jeez.
I have 40 silver coins myself.
This is the group treasure.
Group treasure.
And we have some gems and bobbles worth about 1300 silver.
Okay. So you could probably part with those for the 1300 and pay your crew with that for the last, I think we said a couple of months, it would be something like that.
Oh, Nava's going to try to haggle and get a little bit more for them.
Yeah, we'll haggle. Because I know you want the opportunity for haggling.
Yeah, because she's got to bump it up a little. It's not great yet.
Do you remember what we said, the true cost per month? Was it like 500 or something?
I don't remember. Off the top of my head.
I have nothing.
Zero.
Eight. No. You're going to get basically the same book.
