You know who does have crafting, Vina?
Tannhauser!
You know who's not Tannhauser?
I see that you have come back because you could not stay away from me.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Well, Captain Vina, if it had to be a while!
Never mind, we're surrendering.
Vicon Sharkskin is the main character now.
Still all substance.
Where's the show?
Oh, who's ready to play some more Rot Grime?
Oh, I kind of wish I recorded each of us separately so I could still speakers screech because it sounded just like the TIE Fighter.
Yeah, it does sound like the TIE Fighter.
You're right.
You sounded like the Cleric Beast.
Yeah, good job, Hulky.
You sound like a Cleric Beast.
I love screaming.
I love making sounds.
I think I used some cheese.
Hi there, everybody.
Welcome to another exciting episode of Rot Grind!
We leveled!
Yep!
We leveled!
We got all the other...
We got all the cool stuff and things, everything else.
And also, I realized why our nameplates aren't updating because we're all supposed to be level 12 now!
Yippee!
Whoa!
Tree Racer better watch his back.
Yeah, he's gonna get crumped.
Speaking of getting crumped, everyone used to tell us what you did as you leveled up and stuff.
So, as I try to fix our nameplates in vain, because I realized what happened, because it's a different thing and import with new computer.
Vina, now that you're level supposedly 12 via the UI, what did you get?
And then also with your shopping stuff, what did you buy?
Okay, well, you get a lot of feats this level, which is very exciting.
I got the class feat, Cheat Death, because that's very flavorful for Vina.
Somehow you always escape the Reaper by a hair's breadth.
You avoid being knocked out or killed and remain at one hit point and gain panache, but you become doomed one, which is very fun, very flavorful.
Swashbucklers are awesome.
The archetype feat that I got, I got Mockingbird's Disarm, because I'm tumbling through a lot, and essentially lets me tumble through and attempt to disarm an enemy while I do that.
Very nice, very nice.
And then my skill feat, I just got Steady Balance, because I wasn't sure what else to take.
So I, just dexterity, just dexterity all the way.
And then the only thing I bought was a cheeky little striking rune to make me do more melee DPS, because that is my job.
My job is to be bisexual, eat hot chip, be on the front line and die.
Be crying too gay, be crying too gay.
But of course, next up we have, what did you level up with, and what did you buy?
Well, I went up to level 12, I bought a bunch of runes for potency and resilience, as well as took three different feats.
For my class feat, I got Emblazon Anti-Magic, which allows me to continue specking into the Emblazon Armament class path, or rather the feat paths.
This one allows me to emblazon a new effect on my shields or weapons.
If I have my shield raised and it's emblazoned on the shield, they gain the shield circumstance bonus to saving throws against magic, and they can shield block against damage from their enemies' spells.
And if I put it on a weapon, when the weapon critically hits, I can attempt to counteract the spell on the target using half my level rounded up as the counteract rank.
After the attempt, the symbol immediately disappears.
So it's a one-time use if you crit.
But if the enemy has a sustained spell effect on them, you can just attempt to get rid of it.
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Nice!
For the free archetype, I picked up Reflexive Shield.
What this means is that because I have the shield block reaction, damage that I take as a result of a reflex save can then trigger that, and I can snap my shield into place and attempt to deflect some of that damage, even if it's not physical.
So, playing more into the tank role, or frontliner, that I have become.
And finally, for my skill feat, I picked up Rapid Mantle.
So I can now pull myself on ledges onto the...
I can pull myself up on ledges in any surface and stand if I'm trying to grab onto an edge as an action.
If I use athletics instead of a reflex save to grab an edge.
I can also, if I climb or leap within five feet beneath the top of an edge, I pull myself up onto the surface and stand as part of that action rather than a separate action.
Nice, nice, nice.
So I'm scrappy.
I'm scrabbling around.
I'm big, but I'm...
I'm like a squirrel.
I'm a weird creature, like a bug.
Did you buy anything or do any items from the shop?
Only things that I bought were just additional runes to beef up how hard I can hit and how many hits I can take.
Nice, nice.
Now, Mr. Tannhauser.
Tannhauser!
Tannhaused all over the level up process and went ahead and...
Why did you say it like that?
Tannhauser all over the place.
As I was saying, I bought the Time Mage feat, Purge of Moments,
which allows me to very quickly have, once per hour, five rounds of combat happen only for me.
Now, I can't do anything during those five rounds of combat, but that is enough to let bad effects wear off or let good effects accumulate.
So that's fun.
Additionally, I purchased the Feet Scroll Adept, which allows me to make temporary spell scrolls of spells that are two ranks lower than my highest spell rank,
functionally giving me an extra third and fourth level spell slot.
Lastly, well, not lastly, um, I wound up going to the store, and despite wanting very desperately to purchase a steam trolley,
I was eventually convinced otherwise by my wise companions.
Uh, and instead, I purchased a Ringmaster's Staff, uh, which allows me to do all kinds of crazy, kooky little support spells,
up to and including summoning Rhinocerae and causing Mist to appear.
But I also purchased a chunk of Cold Iron.
And then the last thing, something that I really should have talked to Thurston about before we started,
is that, uh, I took the, the feat Cadre!
Um, which allows a loyal cadre of retainers to join me.
These individuals don't function as followers and won't accompany you into dangerous areas or situations.
However, they can train by your side, assist you in crafting items, and, most importantly, help me spread my heroic tales.
Um, question.
Yes.
So you took a new archetype to get that?
No, that was a skill feat.
Cadre, uh...
Oh, shit.
Never mind.
I've chosen a different skill feat.
Entirely.
Of course.
Oh.
Of course.
And you'll find out what that is at the end of the break.
I think, I think, like, I think there were, like, at least a hundred GMs out there who did, like, the naked gun, like, facepalm with me.
With me.
You were, you were me.
We were together in that moment.
Whoopsie.
Yeah, my bad.
Well, you can, you can smoke bomb that mishap by telling us what you bought.
I already did.
I bought a staff and I bought a chunk of cold iron.
And, uh, the staff is, uh, it's so good.
It's so cool, dude.
It's awesome.
Yeah, what is it?
Yeah.
It's the staff of the ringmaster.
What is it doing?
The staff of the ringmaster has six charges.
And of those charges, I can use to cast spells like carry-all, gentle landing, or if I expend five charges, cloak of colors, or even a fifth level command.
So, uh, hopefully it'll let me cast some supporty spells without actually having to commit to preparing supporty spells.
After all, Tithouser did swear not to use a weapon.
So, I made sure to pick a staff that had no offensively damaging spells.
You're gonna accidentally, like, box on with that staff, and then, like, all of a sudden, the clouds part.
You fucked up!
Nope, nope, I'm never.
You see, that's the thing.
Everyone made fun of me.
Oh, the speaker, that was such a stupid thing you sacrificed.
Nope, nope, I'm keeping to it.
Look at me, keeping to it.
Ooh, I could have bought the staff of metal, but I didn't.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, person.
Who I asked to clip something so I could have six months from now.
If you could clip that, too, that'd be great.
Thanks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Please, too.
I invite you, too.
You'll see.
You think, you think you're, you think you're weaving me into a grave, but in truth, in truth,
you are weaving the first few lines of the epic poem of my infinite triumph!
Speed of triumphs.
There's going to be some bit that's going to be really funny if you hit someone with a stick
and you're going to go for the bit.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be all over, dude.
I'm going to crash out.
It's all, I'm going to crash the fuck out.
It's all over.
There's going to be one session where I'm really tired and I wasn't paying attention,
and I think, well, I guess I do this.
What else am I going to do?
And then, and then, and then.
I love getting to play with you, Speaker.
You're a great player.
Aw, thank you, Thirsten.
It's been a great player.
Baldrick, what did you get?
Hi.
Yeah, so Baldrick hit level 12, and for my class feed, I picked uncanny bombs, which is a really
cool ability that means that that really cool bomb launcher I bought is not only outmoded
because it also increases my range increment to 60 feet, but it also reduces enemy armor
class when I throw it at them, and now I instantly succeed when targeting enemies in concealment
to beat the concealment check.
Nice, nice.
I also got skill training in nature, and for my archetype for demolitionist, I got
collapse wall, which means if I blow up a wall, I can have it fall on an enemy and pin them
for one round of combat, or two if, or excuse me, for an interact, or two if it's a critical
failure.
Nice, nice, nice.
I bought nothing because everyone bought very expensive items, and I don't really need to,
but it was very funny watching the amount of money dwindle into nothing.
Did you buy one thing, like that collagen thing?
No, because I didn't want to buy, I couldn't buy the Alembic because I already have sticky
bombs, and Thurston won't let those stack, so it doesn't matter.
Yeah, they don't stack, because persistent damage doesn't stack that way.
Gotcha, okay.
So, yeah, I leveled up, and that was Baldrick's lot in life, and much like Baldrick in the game,
uh, he didn't need anything, so he didn't get anything.
I, I, as the player, though, I do think it is kind of, kind of stinky.
Kind of stinky!
Stinky being stinky, Oren, uh, he's now level 12.
Uh, he got weighty impact for one of his class fiends, which allows Grogamunger to do the
knockdown action.
Uh, basically after he gets a successful strike, he can then go knockdown, and then basically
try to trip the creature without it going, uh, with a multi-attack penalty.
So it just makes it easier for him to trip people and try to help out the team.
Uh, my archetype, uh, with the, I now got blessed denial, so basically it was a reaction, uh,
with an ally within 30 feet, who will become frightened, drained, enfeebled, sickened, or
stupefired, uh, I basically just go, no, and I reduce it by one, so I can try to, like,
keep people being affected by that stuff.
Uh, and for my skill fees, I got advanced first aid, so as I'm kind of, like, healing
people and stuff, I can kind of help out with frightened or sickened, do other condition
by two, and basically help out with that.
And for the items that I got for Orin, was basically it got, um, sold my old staff to
get a better staff of healing, so now I have, like, breath of life and stuff, and a fifth
level heal and things, so I can, like, oh no, someone's about to die, swing, reaction,
do that, kind of like what Rahua did, uh, in the past.
And in addition to that, uh, I also got a striking rune and stuff, and a armor potency
rune for Gorgamongar, so Gorgamongar's a little bit more, uh, dangerous in melee now.
And that's pretty much it for what I got.
Thurston, what did you get?
I got, um, a water.
Nice water.
I wish I had water.
Yeah.
You should drink water.
Yeah, it helps.
Well, one thing that does help is doing a recap.
You guys, I threw you a fucking spike and you let the ball land.
You just looked at it.
I'm like, I'm not spiking to you ever again.
I got water.
So basically, uh, what happened last episode, everyone excited for, or times of Kingmaker,
as I find ourselves some excellent background music to go with it for.
It was a role-playing episode last time.
Uh, basically, basically our lovely band of chuckle fucks were able to reunite onto the
airship and begin basically heading over to Venus homeland.
Um, everyone was basically doing various tasks.
Oren was looking at the clouds, chilling out with the Corgermonger.
Baldrick was working on his, uh, very radiated device down below where he basically created a bomb bay, uh, down below.
So, uh, Tannhauser, what, oh yeah, you dropped the pamphlet, didn't you?
You dropped the pamphlet and then it landed on some random child, like, like landing in a child's hand.
It's like, oh, a revolution.
And I remember now.
What happened is Cronch refused to be radicalized by my, uh, firebrand rhetoric, uh, because he's too lazy to read my fucking papers.
So he threw it down, littering, which, by the way, hurts the environment, for one.
And, uh, it did wind up winding in the hands of a child who I believe is causing a revolution in some, one of the flyover countries.
Yeah.
So radicalizing the world as we kind of fly over.
Uh, so Cronch was basically letting us all know that we got, or got paid for basically doing, uh, the retail work.
Or to go, go, go, go at New York, go, go, uh, uh, and helping out, uh, or dear friend Blotus.
I think this time it was the dragonfly merchant, if I remember right.
Uh, scarab merchant.
Scarab merchant.
Thank you.
And he, and with that, we got paid about 5,000 gold for doing so.
Um, and Cronch was like, oh, I'm not into politics, but, uh, who's gonna split the money?
And after failed attempts from Cronch of making us have, like, an eternal debate, we all just kind of bought what we needed to.
And it bought to get the sword into the stick.
Yeah, happens.
I mean, he was, he was okay.
He, Baldrick, is okay with it.
Yeah.
Uh, after, after coming together, Vina got a flat, basically Vina got a vision of horrible things potentially coming to.
And after comforting her with some feel-good juice, we basically decided to head forth and, um, basically see what's over the horizon where we saw sky whales, uh, basically flying around the ship.
And so currently the adventuring, the adventuring team is flying around the ship, uh, enjoying the sights and the lovely sunshine, the beautiful clouds of sky whales flying about.
And that's where we left our adventurers last.
Unless I like, oh, oh, wait, wait, not to forget our lovely fey raccoon who had, was invited in and made shop inside of the ship.
So basically he opened up a giant general store with his magic and stuff.
That's how we got all of our fancy items and everything now after visiting him to where, for his words, we have to be prepared.
We have to be, you know, pretty much set up for the feast.
We need to be stronger for the fight ahead to where the raccoon is setting us up to, uh, to eventually battle us in the future when we potentially come back to the parking lot and outset.
And so with all that, that's pretty much where we were left off.
Did I forget anything important?
Nope.
That seems to cover it, I think.
Excellent.
So now we're still flying around with the sky whales, being all happy and everything for those who can fly, having a lovely time.
Or having fun and playing.
La la la, la la la la la.
School of sky whales begins to veer off.
Heading towards the ocean.
Yes.
Are they a school or a pod?
Because you said pod last time.
I change my mind when I want.
I didn't remember anything to do the recap, but I do remember specifically you calling them a pod.
Go figure.
Mods, ban this guy.
Please do.
Mods?
Mods?
Mods delete one of his eyebrows.
Mods, render his fat into a candle.
The whales veer off, leaving you once again alone over the landscape as you approach Andacia.
Oh, Tad Houser, wasn't that so fun?
I had so much fun frolicking and playing, and I also managed to purchase this staff from those kind whales.
Okay, fuck off.
No, you're not setting up some, like, I bypassed buying equipment from the evil rep.
Fuck off, fine.
You can make it happen with a narrative declaration.
Mark him down.
He narratively declared that he negotiated with Skywhales for his staff.
That's going to be a bonus episode.
Hi, Tad Houser.
I see you have lost the ability to do battle.
It's true, my Skywhale.
Take a splinter of my horn.
Sorry, role-play the whale.
I'm getting a drink.
Take the splinter of my horn.
We're narwhals.
But why, Sky-Narwhal?
How could I possibly ever repay you?
Oh, by doing justice to the land and destroying the government to oppress people.
That's extremely progressive of you.
Have you been reading my literature?
Oh, your words have gone far and wide in the winds, Tad Houser.
Ah, well, I simply still must pay you back.
Here, I say reaching into Oren's pocket.
No, Baldrick's pocket.
Take this 1,800 gold.
Oh, I thank you.
We will use it for many food bags for young whales.
That's good.
And remember, only together can we achieve progressive victory.
Hey, Speaker, I got bad news for you.
Yeah.
Baldrick has three gold.
Well, well, you know, yeah.
Turns Baldrick's pocket.
Did you gather 1,800?
Did you gather 1,800 gold worth of pocket lint?
Because he may have that.
That is a truly astounding amount of pocket lint.
Bro is a spawning in pocket lint.
It's not the amount.
It's the quality.
Why do you keep so much lint in your pocket?
It's not the amount.
It is greater.
It is not the amount of pocket lint.
It is the quality of it that matters.
Oh, yeah.
Tanny, I should have told you.
The sky whales are base.
I had no idea.
They were so awesome.
As they fly away, they make a little fist with their flipper.
Like, for the revolution.
Goes away.
Oh, they are majestic.
They really are majestic creatures.
Yeah, by the way, Chad is right.
This is the radiation poison talking.
Yeah, exactly.
We're all just like, who is Tannhauser talking to?
Where did he get that?
Just Tannhauser has a giant, like, illuminated, like, green glow coming out of his head.
And he's just like, sky whales.
Take in my money.
He's over the hospital bed.
Everyone's gathered around all sad.
Anyway.
The whales are gone, Mr. Tannhauser.
Wake up.
They never existed.
I have such awful cotton mouth, which is odd, because I don't have a mouth.
Oh, eat this worm.
We'll eat the cotton.
Okay, then.
I turn the suction on my hose, and I suck the worm down.
You get healed for.
Smoke the worm.
Baldrick, trying to separate himself from the ongoing engagement.
Heal for 20.
Goes to Veena and asks, are we supposed to be doing something right now?
Um.
Well, not particularly.
I believe we're on our way to Ayesa.
Um.
Does that explain why there's a chair propped up against the ship's steering column,
sending us in circles for the past hour?
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I gotta go steer.
Yeah.
You really should.
Butter over it.
Uh, putter over to it.
Uh, yeah, I mean, we just have to make sure to try to fly as stealthy as we can.
Uh, keep an eye to the sky if you, um, if you're not too terribly busy.
There's a non-zero chance we run into one of the crews out here, and as fun as it would
be to, uh, come back with a bang, I'd rather not have to do any repairs.
So, only shoot back if they shoot first, right?
Only should, well, if they look like they're about to shoot, we should shoot first, but otherwise we shouldn't pick fights.
Okay.
Does this ship have any weapons, or were we relying on my throwing arm for this one?
Uh, actually, this is a good question.
Thurston, does this ship have any weapons?
Does it have, like, cannon ports or anything?
Because this was, like, a, uh, recreational airship.
Correct.
But, we did also establish that Baldrick was building weapons on the ship, which is the bomb bay.
Okay, so you don't have, like, standard weapons as much as a giant bomb bay.
Well, uh, that actually kind of works out because, in theory, that means that as long as Veena is a skilled enough sky pirate pilot, after all, to maneuver us over top of them, we just need to go to the bomb bay and throw shit out of it at them.
They just war thundered their ass?
Yeah, exactly.
We're, this, uh, this airship is very much less red baron and more Enola gay.
We're not careful it's going to end up Amelia Earhart.
This ship is gay as hell. Let's go, brother.
We named it after my mother.
Yeah.
That was a, that was a nuke joke, but, uh, whatever.
You did go off with a bang, sorry.
Yeah.
Uh, as, as we're flying about, because I imagine we're taking, you know, time to fly the right direction now.
Orym would like to, uh, do a perception check to see if we're getting any closer.
Yeah, go ahead.
I only had the die for a total of 28.
He's kind of, like, trying to look past the clouds or so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, as he's trying to look past things, um, it's not necessarily a head that is what is,
is getting to Orym.
Well, one thing Orym notices, which Valdrick alluded to, is like,
Veena's not
exactly flying straight to the destination.
In fact, if Orym had to guess,
Veena's
intentionally delaying reaching the destination.
I've been there by now.
One thing you do notice is behind you
is the silhouette of a sky whale that appears as though it's following you.
Oh, it's a curious baby.
He runs to the back of the ship.
What do you see?
I see a baby sky whale following us.
Veena blinks a couple of times.
Is there anything on its back?
I'll check.
I'll look to see if there's something on its back.
Yeah, as you look, you can tell that it is definitely not a baby as you get closer.
It's not a baby.
And there is something on its back.
There is something on its back.
What's it got on its back?
It's some kind of like wooden apparatus based on, like, based around its back.
Almost as though it were a ship.
Yeah, it's kind of like some wooden thing.
It looks like a ship, but it's probably a sky whale.
And it's gating on you.
Yeah, it's going real fast.
Everybody man your stations.
But we never stop the stations.
Baldrick goes to the area closest to the approaching ship,
and he will prepare to throw things.
Okay.
Oren hugs the tree in the back of the ship.
Now that it's been pointed out to me, does Vina recognize,
like, would I recognize if this belongs to a particular crew that I've heard of?
Oh, yes.
Oh, no.
This has to be the vessel of Viconned Sharkskin,
the most bloodthirsty of the ruling Vicons.
Of your homeland.
Oh, okay.
All right.
We're being tailed by a Viconned.
Everybody get on your stations.
And just...
Get ready for a fight.
Oh, are we shooting first and asking later?
You want to give me some airship lore here?
We determined that because the plane of air doesn't exist.
That's my airship lore.
Yep.
Okay.
Okay.
Not bad.
That is a 30.
This whale is faster than you and will absolutely fuck you up in a fight.
All right.
This whale is faster than us and will absolutely beat our ass in a fight.
So we're going to have to get scrappy.
Let's see if we can get above and get the jump on him.
Oh, captain, my captain.
And I'm going to do all that I can to relay that order to everyone else in the crew.
Let's beat to stations.
Let's get this shit going.
Aye, aye, come.
Orin, are you keeping an eye on the whale as it's approaching still?
I'm giving up days.
Uh, you see that coming off of the back of it is a, uh, flowing purple flag that it begins to fly.
They're flying a purple flag, captain.
What would I recognize that that's the language of we're about to get our shit rocked?
That's, that's the language of, uh, parlay.
Parlay?
Could be a trick.
I would bet it's a trick.
All right.
Here's what we do.
We're going to get above.
We'll meet their parlay, but put ourselves in an advantageous position over their ship.
To where if they decide to pick a fight, we can rain hell on them.
Hmm, wise, wise.
Shall I lower any flags to indicate our intention?
What is the response to a purple flag?
Probably the same thing, Beck.
Mm-hmm.
Orin, uh, uh, nothing to take it from anybody.
Uh, Orin will kind of call over to Rahua.
Rahua, can you get the purple flag out and draw it up?
Yeah, sure, uh, there's a storage on this.
We haven't been on the ship that long.
There's a bin next to the flagpole.
Oh, you know what?
I should have thought about that.
Usually, somewhere else sometimes.
Rahua will just...
...clop across the deck.
Someone had to organize around here.
Thank you, Baldrick.
Rahua goes rooting around through it, tries to find the purple flag.
You mean this one?
It's got purple.
Oh, is that red?
Blue?
Uh, are you colorblind?
The sky whale is getting closer.
Baldrick is going to go over and collect the purple flag and run it up for Rahua.
I thought that was the green guys.
Thank you, Rahua.
Don't have time for this.
Don't have time for this.
You're welcome, Nina.
Uh, yeah, we'll raise the purple flag in return, uh, and I'm gonna try to bank and gain altitude over them, uh, and then I'm gonna lower, like, a, like, a rope ladder or something.
Sure, what kind of, what kind of delicious piloting skills do you have?
Um, see, I'm very dexterous, but there's not, like, a direct piloting skill, at least not in the core skills.
Not in Pathfinder, no, there isn't.
I think there was, there was, uh, lore driving, um...
Or driving?
Yeah, I mean...
I guess...
I, I, yeah, I don't know if there's a specific skill for that.
Give me your lore, uh, plane of air again.
All right.
I'm about to say, Thurston, would you consider, not to speak for Veena on this...
We changed it to airships, there we go.
Not, not to speak for Veena on this, but surely driving is as much a performance as it is anything else.
I would also have the argument for crafting, if you have any of that.
Crafting is good, yeah?
Crafting?
No, I don't have any crafting, um...
Do you know, you know who does have crafting, Veena, who's an expert at it, in fact?
Tannhauser!
You know who's not Tannhauser?
I'm not making anything.
I mean, my, my thought would be that, uh...
Crafting also is...
Thurston just said crafting.
Is the understanding of, like, how something is made or works?
It's not strictly making something.
It's like, if you do crafting, I'm like, um, uh, like a trap.
You understand how that works.
An understanding of mechanical goods.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Okay, that checks out.
Uh, I'll, I'll just do the, the lore airships, I suppose.
Go ahead.
Teen.
It could be better, could be worse.
That is a 25.
All right.
25-u.
One sec.
Oh, cool.
Oh, come on!
Ah!
Fucker!
Oh, the 20 on, that 20 on that one.
Yeah.
So much.
It's, it's technically private, but we saw the dice.
Um, you, uh, you, uh, you see that this, that this whale is, is trained extremely well.
And Veena, as you are attempting to get control of the situation, it's not happening.
The whale, in fact, seems to be mocking you by almost, um, dancing circles around you in the air.
And as it decides to position itself by you, there is a striking silhouette at the prow of the vessel.
The, uh, small, some might say even tiny, imposing figure of Viconned shark skin.
Viconned shark skin is the main character now.
For fuck's sake.
He's an action figure, dad.
True.
Yeah, Veena is just going to...
Well, Captain Veena, if it has to be a while.
You wanna, uh...
Viconned!
Sorry, go ahead.
Keep going.
Pleasure to see you out and about.
Veena is going to, uh, uh, pass the wheel over to, uh, Tannhauser.
And is going to kind of get closer to the Vicon.
She's gonna bow somewhat theatrically, tip the hat, and just...
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Oh, what do you see?
I'm just glad that you came into disguise.
Are you gonna hand this ship over?
Yeah, let's surrender.
For podcast listeners, because we haven't described it for podcast listeners, this is a tiny poppet.
This is a tiny toy stuffed animal-like action figure who has a tiny sword and, like, a button for its shield.
And has, like, these kind of sharp-tooth-embedded feather hat.
Uh, and the large trench coat and everything.
He is a tiny, glorious little bastard.
Uh, just to emphasize for podcast listeners there.
He has also been described as one of the most ruthless of the Pirates of the Vicon Council.
Uh, I should also point out, the entirety of the crew is poppets.
Yes!
Ha ha!
Oh!
The entire crew, which you begin to see as the whale approaches closer, uh, you can see such distinct shapes as, um, like, like, almost, you know, um, ball-jointed, like, knights in armor.
Um, what appears to be, like, a lion with a little, like, cupid bow and arrow.
Uh, one just appears to be a panda with, like, a wizard hat and staff.
Ha ha ha!
Oh, the sheer amount of delight I am getting from this.
God bless you, Thurston.
It's so beautiful.
I love it.
It's really, really, really, scalability to knock this out of the park with the art.
Oh, yeah?
Um, yeah, Veena just, um, gives him a smile.
Well, Vicon, I'm afraid that I'm reluctant to part with this particular ship after everything I've been through to get it.
And, of course, I'm sure all the people at home would love to welcome me back with, um, the fanfare that a ship like this deserves.
Besides, you've already been so diligent in training that whale of yours.
So, bless you, you've still got a mouse on you.
Okay.
Well, it's gonna land right away.
We're gonna follow you back home.
Come on!
You're gonna follow us?
Lead your way, back home!
Okay, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give a squint.
Um, I'm, I'm, I'm sense and motive.
He's giving up too easy.
Uh, and that would be...
Perception check.
Perception, yes, indeed.
Uh, 29.
Not great.
The Vicon is eager to see you home.
Hmm.
Can I attempt a, uh, perception check?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Oh my god!
Okay, Rahula!
Rahula!
Rahula is 25, 40.
Rahula is intimately familiar with inanimate objects that are made inanimate.
That's, it's me!
It's literally me!
It's literally me!
Rahula's wisdom is enough to showcase that actually the person to be monitoring in this situation is Vina.
And Vina, you know, maybe has a reason that they shouldn't be going home.
And so, this Vicon is quite happy to see you go home.
Probably because there's something bad awaiting Vina at home.
Something the captain hasn't deigned to talk to you much about.
So, we're not going home, Vina.
Not because I think this little, whatever that is, is a threat.
That's a real mean thing to say to me!
Well, no, you, you, you, you, you're very scary.
You're very, very scary.
I love your, I love your outfit, by the way.
Where did you get that?
Uh.
Rahula just like, has a, you know, shark!
I bit it, and I killed it, and I skinned it.
You'll have to teach me how to do that.
I'm looking to pick up tailoring as well.
And shark skin's very nice.
A moment, please, dear, dear, uh, Vigond.
The whale veers off slightly to give you privacy.
Look, so we're not going to go back home.
I don't really feel overly threatened by, by, by them, but.
There's something far, far more pressing, more dangerous at port than out here.
And it's something that none of us are aware of, I suppose.
Not, save for you, Vina.
What has kept you out of your port of call for so very long?
I know that your relationship with your mother is tumultuous, to say the least,
but what, what else is there?
Um.
You know, that's, that's a, that's a complicated story.
Um.
One that we don't have to litigate in front of the good Vigond.
We're going to die if we go back to that port, aren't we?
We're on the same boat.
At least, you're going to die.
Um.
There's a non-zero chance.
Vina, we are hundreds of meters above the ground.
We are an island of our own,
but it does not mean that you need to be an island unto yourself.
We have been through enough.
We can deal with the,
Rahua kind of gestures his hand out towards the other ship.
This.
But you need to be straight,
because we can't navigate forward
if you won't let us know why we can't go back.
Why you can't go back.
Ah.
Well.
It's because I lost control
of Papa Storm's crown.
You know the mutiny that I told you about?
when you guys first met me
and I was ejected
from the airship that I was
very briefly.
Captaining?
Of course.
That is the
only
skyship owned by my people,
and to fly it
is the greatest honor
one can be bestowed.
And that
was an honor bestowed
to my mother
and then passed down to me
when she was injured.
The fact that I lost it
and that it is known
that I lost it
and that
the
current principe
of Ayesa's daughter
lost the ship
she was supposed to have command of
um
they'll probably kill me.
The whale is beginning
to veer back.
Now jog
before we
finish our parley
jog my noggin
is it still
out there
waiting
proved by a new
mutinous crew?
Yup.
From what I understand
the crown
has never gone down.
it's
I've never heard
a story of it
being
beaten.
Um
so
yeah
I
know
who's piloting it.
She
used to be
a very close
friend of mine.
I see.
emphasis on
used to be
I see.
Then Vina
if it is a matter
of
restoring
your honor
to grant
you passage
to your home
once more
Ruhua
just looms
very large
over
Vina
let us
find
Papa Storm's
thunder
crown
crown
fuck
close enough
sorry
I'm having
a bit of
trouble
with speaking
today
you're good
as
you guys
are discussing
Baldrick
is going
to try
and worm
his way
in
uh
quietly
so as
to not
rouse
the attention
of anyone
else
who may
be watching
from a
distance
if possible
through like
some kind
of scary
uh
puppet
periscope
or whatever
no
there's
no
puppet
periscope
I don't
know
that would
be the
greatest
a
periscope
uh
Vina
yeah
is there
any sort
of
haul
for
law
keeping
in this
particular
place
it's got
to exist
they have
pirates
have
rigid
laws
and codes
generally
for
themselves
there's
got to
be
someone
with
some
kind
of
reference
right
yeah
the way
that power
is broken
down
in
a
and
in
and
as a
whole
there
is
the
vicond
council
who
are
a
um
loose
congregation
of the
six
foremost
captains
in all
of
Andasia
you're
looking at
one of
them
you become
a vicond
not by
a vote
but by
essentially
racking up
accolades
until everybody
unanimously
recognizes
that they
should listen
to you
then
sitting at
the top
of the
council
is the
principe
or principe
that person
is voted
in
by the
council
every
five
years
and
for the
past
three decades
or so
that's
been
my mom
all right
so
even
beyond
this
council
even
beyond
all this
there has
to be
some
kind
of
rule
keeping
authority
right
like
they've
got
they've
have
to have
some
tomes
or like
rule books
or guidelines
or something
that I
could
maybe
pour
over
they got
rigid
guidelines
I'm certain
but
it doesn't
necessarily
mean they're
very good
you would
know
that
in
in the
capital
city
that there
are
repositories
of lore
like this
that exist
specifically
for you
know
those who
try to
shirk
shirk
the rules
and because
pirate codes
need to be
fairly rigid
for for
your homeland
lest it all
fall into
chaos
they are
actually one
of the
more like
strictly
guarded
yes
those are
things that
exist
you're gonna
have trouble
getting in
especially as
an outsider
but they
do exist
would they
be respectful
of someone
who has
and baldrick
will reach
into his
coat
and unfurl
a wanted
poster with
his helmet
in the shape
of like a
dodecahedron
would they
respect someone
who happens
to share
a rather
enticingly
large bounty
hmm
possibly
but
you're going
to have to
prove that
that bounty
is
something that
puts you
on their
level
and you're
gonna have to
prove you're
enough of a
badass to
not be
immediately
captured and
turned in for
the bounty
i don't see
how that'll
be a huge
bunch of
a problem
though
people are
definitely a lot
more concerned
with money
than they are
with um
you know
individual
badasses
i put my
hand
lena
you can give
me a society
check as
as tenhouser's
approaching it
society
my society
is not
i am untrained
in that one
uh
sauce
that's
seven
okay
you don't
know much
about society
yeah
on
on
vena's
shoulder
vena
but i'm
also kind
of distant
like i'm
focusing on
something
i don't
need to
remind you
that we
have each
of us
racked up
a considerable
list of
great feats
when we
arrive at
your home
what will
save us
is not
contriteness
but if
your society
is anything
like me
it is
braggadocio
therefore
i have a
suggestion
you need
to earn
respect
in
golgotha
this respect
is won
through fear
i do not
know
what
burnishes
respect in
your lands
but might i
make a
suggestion
go for it
i'll lean
into her
pointy ear
challenge
this
puppet
to a
race
i hear
you
that whale
is definitely
faster than
we are
no contest
yes
but here's
something that
you now
know
that they
don't
um
thurston
would you say
that i've been
quiet for at
least a
minute
mostly
okay
sure
yeah
all right
i cast
clairvoyance
inside of
the wooden
box
where the
captain of
our lovely
whale is
okay
for the next
ten minutes
i've got a
bird's eye view
inside of that
cabin
he wasn't in
the cabin
by the way
he was
he was on
the prow
yeah he's on
the prow
kind of
right
right
fair
right
t posing
there
i've got a
bird's eye view
on that ship
could always
duel him
whatever you think
works best
i trust your
judgment
just know
that as a
badlands
barbarian
badass
i'm always
ready to
back up
anything
so long as
i don't have
to kill
anyone with
my hands
because as i
said before
i've given up
doing that
ever since i got
that cool
skeleton
yeah i take off
my glove i show
my cool skeleton
hand
remember this
yeah
oh yeah
and i can
snap
my fingers
no no no
he can't
you need skin
to do that
it's like
it's like
clacking
it's like
clacking
you're popping
your knuckles
repeatedly and it
sounds like
snapping your
fingers
yeah yeah
yeah
he told me
i couldn't do
it
i need meat
but nope
listen
just whatever
sort of
challenge you'd
like to lay
at the foot
of this puppet
know that you
have our full
support
you are the
great captain
veena
and if you
don't believe
it no one
else is gonna
okay
good
right
so
he wants
to escort
us home
he's not
really doubling
down about
taking the ship
we could
challenge them
to a fight
and
if we bring
a vicon's
crew home
as plunder
certainly that'll
leave an impression
we are outnumbered
though
and
we'd really
only have his
honor to go
off of if we
were to
5v5
whatever odds
being stacked
against us
ever stopped
us in the
past
true
okay
and that's
what we'll
do
do
vena's going to
closer
vena's going to
straighten up
kind of
straighten her
coat out
all right
i need all
five of you to
look as scary as
you possibly can
okay
which is not
hard you're a
scary bunch
on it
i instantly
become 50%
more detailed
you got like
the the jojo
lines
yeah yeah
or in
or in cast
dragon form
oh
i turn it
or it just
turns into a
fucking dragon
i turn it
into a
fucking
dragon
yeah that'll
fucking do it
dragon dragon
it's the
dragon dragon
dragon dragon
ballsy
which kind of
dragon do you
turn it to
diabolic dragon
i was about to
say that's
probably what
you're gonna
do
oh diabolic
dragon
i am a
diabolic
hell yeah
orngo is
like on it
and he just
transformed to
this thing
just like
overwhelming
everyone and
kind of like
kind of peeks
down over to
the uh
other ship
just like
just kind of
snorting fire
you can give
me intimidate
check
don't get any
cool bonuses
you're dragging
i want to
hear a point
i want to
hear a point
because i
got one for
doing the
recap
red roll
that got
uh with
our uh
keely bonus
got a uh
38
okay not
bad
pop it
stairs
you got
dragon
wow
sorry he
takes
he just
completely
knocks the
wind out of
me every
time
i just
i just
i love
this
i want him
to kill
us all
i'm ready
for him
what is
what is wrong
with you
people
this is the
best
we can't
compete
it's amazing
all right
yeah
veena's going
to approach
the edge
of the prow
vicond
i understand
your offer
of a gracious
escort
but i'm afraid
i'll have to
refuse
i'm going to
return to
a to a
saw on my
own time
and if there's a
problem with
that
you and four
of your best
fighters can take
it up with
me
i wasn't
expecting
that's a
big way
to go
okay
um
well you come
when you want
to i guess
you have
yourselves a
good day
then
what
and he
motions for
the ship
to start
veering off
wait wait
wait wait
wait
hold on
hold on
the great
captain

has issued
you a
challenge

fly with you
and vee said
i didn't want
that so i just

half and i throw
her off the
balcony
i respawned with
rotten one
again
net sponsor
dead
breath of life
reaction
i'll be honest
i really expected
him to actually
fight that
i assume it's
like a group
bubble now
like like the
camera's like up
and all of your
faces looking down
like what the
fuck do we do
or was looking
all intimidating
just like you
know do all the
smart shit
and there's like
it's like my
scales are
alien
my claws are
swords and it's
like oh fuck
that shit
he's like well i
guess that worked
miss veena
yeah
he just looks
with like big
puppy dog eyes
like i'm really
not sure what to
go
i was too
scary
you can't you
can't just let
him get away
with that
you should
fire the cannon

we gotta beat
that guy up
hey we
agitated
you want
seltzer

there on the
prowl you just
all turned around
and huddled
i heard that the
whale was
fucking off
like i was
starting it was
starting to like
adjust away but
then you're like
wait a second
you kept yelling
at him
okay he's
just came back
okay
poke feet
poke feet
he's right
here
the dragon
turns to
tanhouser
and just kind
of like
kind of whispers
out of like
we should probably
take the win
well we got
it mr
tanhouser
but there's
no glory
he's like
glory is all
fine until
dead men fill
the field
mr
tanhouser
exactly
and it's even
better
stuffed lion
flies over
with a glass
for you
tanhouser
oh thank
thank you very
much
tanhouser
don't drink
that
no problem
tanhouser

give me a fortitude
save oren
okay
my god
i love this
game
that's a total
36
36
okay

it tastes
very acidic
otherwise fine
very acidic
mr
tanhouser
see it wasn't
poisoned at all
okay
listen acid
made hole
in stomach
can i
fucking
do
a crafting
check
to see what
it is
that is in
this bottle
can i
read the
bottle
to see what
the bottle
says
is it just
a glass
please
i don't know
but you can
crafting to like
dip a finger
in and
okay sure
let me let me
let me let me
do my fucking
job i guess
uh
christ
oh i'd almost
have to count
that 20
29
29 is enough
for you to
tell that like
it there there
is a caustic
substance in
here but it's
it's not like
enough to hurt
it's more like
it would just
give whoever
drank it some
really bad
indigestion
oh this is
um not
poison it's
just really
it's grog
yeah
passes it to
vena
i no i am
not taking the
indigestion
liquid
you
i had
i had
i had
to tan
hauser
you drink
liquor
that is far
worse than
this
this is
probably like
someone's
homebrewed
bouquet of
drink you
probably should
drink it out
of respect
it wasn't for
me
it's empty
now i don't
know why i
throw it off
the side
a small child
down below
is hit with a
glass bottle
who is leading
the revolution
now the
revolution is
dead due to
death by
bottle but
now that
child has
been made
a martyr
and now the
revolution is
even stronger
and now it's
picking up
steam
it's really
picking it up
the real
campaign is
the littering
we did
along the
way
true
i mean if
he doesn't
want the
smoke then
we can
always
kill him
kill him
no
we can
always
fly to
eesa
unaccosted
save our
strength
and we'll
probably get
in a fight
at the
port
but
but
vena
you gotta
understand
have you
ever been
to prison
besides that
one time
tenos
we met
in prison
besides
that one
time
besides
that one
time
no i have
not been
to prison
well then you
know that
when you're
in prison
you ain't
be nobody's
bitch
for no
amount
of time
or else
you're
everybody's
bitch
forever
he's literally
running
because he
doesn't want
the smoke
he speaks
the truth
yeah you have
to learn
how to be
top bitch
do you want
the smoke
or don't
you
vicon
shark skin

just trying
to be a
good friend

i wanted
to make

tiny
chef

stepping
on the
port
and looking
over
so like
you're
on the
front
mast
kind
of
looking
over
at him
on the
opposing
mast
yes
so if
you
if
you
don't
want
to
fight
do
you
want
to
just
kind
of
come
over
and
talk
about
why
you're
trying
to
bring
us
back
to
port
isn't
your
whole
legend
to
like
the
most
fearsome
and
blood
thirsty
vicon
out
here

story

refreshing
aged
beverage
to show
kinship
or respect
fealty
you know
all that
no
we give
beverage
the
they
come
on
board
we
give
them
all
the
drinks
well
as
we
can
just
leave
they
can
just
go
we
don't
have
to
do
anything
we
tell
like
hey
fuck

you a
really
cool
bug
but
you
have
to
come
over
here
for
a
moment
oh

like
cool
buggy
oh
my
my
old
captain
would
like
that
or

all
of
the
other
puppets
on
the
ship
kind
of
look
down
oh
captain
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
they all
suddenly
take off
their hats
and look
down
sad
like
oh
yeah
I
remember
that
uh
Vina
do you
want
to
know
Vicon
Sharkskin's
like
history
so you
can
tell
the
party
members
would
I
know
that
yeah
you
would
know
that
Vicon
Sharkskin
and his
entire
crew
of
puppets
was the
wish of
a dying
child
which
animated
an entire
toy room
and this
child grew
up on
Andacian
legends
of sky
piracy
and so
these
puppets
brutally
took over
a ship
for this
infirm
child
who was
their
captain
but the
child
didn't last
long
and when
the
child
died
the
puppets
stayed
Oh my
god
Yeah
don't
I'm gonna
pull in
Rahua
close
Yeah
don't
don't
fucking
talk
shit
about
the
former
captain
Oh
okay
good
you know
good
you know
that
they're
all
animated
by the
wish
of a
dying
child
child
emphasis
on
when
when
they were
animated
the
child
was
dying
that
child
is
of course
no longer
around
that
child
being
their
former
captain
and now
they're
kind
of
loose
Wait
are you
fucking
serious
That's
okay
Yeah
See
I was
planning
a whole
thing
where we
could have
done
something
with their
crew
as a
bargaining
ship
but I
might feel
kind of
bad
if I
did
that
No
dude
no
no
no
no
no
you are
taking
the
wrong
thing
from
that
these
guys
were
animated
by the
wish
of a
dying
child
No
no
no
I
know
that
I
understand
that
I'm
saying
I'm
coming
at
this
from
a
different
angle
Do you
know
how
powerful
the
pure
hearted
wish
of a
child
is
That's
like
that's
like
that
we
can't
fuck
with
these
guys
they'll
kick
our
ass
I
understand
that
the
wish
of a
child
is
why
I
even
exist
in
the
first
place
why
we
still
live
I
am
that
child
I
don't
want to
mess
with
that
are
you
kidding
me
like
moral
reasons
oh
yeah
that
one
too
good
all
right
let's
not
pick a
fight
with
barren
shark
skin
literally
three
years
old
what
the
man
sorry
I
just
saw
not
everyone
real
some
people
think
puppets
are
older
than
you
it's
like
it's
like
listen
when
you're
dealing
with
magic
here
right
people
take
for
granted
so
many
powerful
wizards
they
last
wish
of a
child
is
nothing
no
dude
that's
that's
major
you
know
I
know
we
know
together
Ohana
and I
put a
hand
on
his
shoulder
what
Ohana
means
family
in
dinosaur
shut the
fuck up
fuck you
oh
no
I
don't
get
to
next
level
fuck
that'll
be
really
funny
next
level
anyway
yeah
everyone
minus
one
in
chat
get that
hero point
back
what a
time it's
been today
you know
if the
dying
wish of
a child
is that
powerful
I'm really
I'm really
glad there's
been like
no society
who's like
made like
a bunch
of dying
children
and then
like
indoctrinating
them
the wish
for what
they want
instead
it's like
creating
free wishes
when you
think about
it
what you
need to
understand
is this
was a
very
very
powerful
child
yeah
hydrogen
baby
hydrogen
baby
hydrogen
baby
well
if I
was
an
evil
society
I
would
just
you know
just
starve
at
them
until
it
works
out
they
tried
that
I'm
sure
a
couple
times
I
mean
if I
were
to
make
a
society
that
was
not
just
and
was
simply
founded
on
that
guys
were
losing
it
it
just
there's
two
things
you
don't
fuck
with
the
pure
hearted
wish
of a
child
and
true
love
those
those
those
things
are
nuts
what
about
the
power
friendship
that
one's
third
then
duck
the
damn
ship
I
need
to
get
off
you've
been
trying
to get
my
attention
for a
week
it
feels
like
yes
can I
be level
13
for the
span
of one
action
yeah
get
yourself
down
a
hero
point
raise
yourself
up
a
level
absolutely
thank
you
Zoran
can you
update
the overlay
temporarily
thank
you
easy
when
you're
editing
this
episode
please
update
the
overlay
thank
you
you
don't
have
to
so
I'm
number
one
size
larger
uh
yes
my
friend
you know
you make
a very
compelling
point
here
I have
something
for you
would you
just
shake
my
hand
for a
second
why
of
course
my
friend
who I
trust
implicitly
I
offer
my
hand
absolutely
I
cast
Pat
cash
he
shook
my
hand
which
constitutes
willing
that's not
how any
of this
works
sure it
does
he's always
I also
don't want to do
the moral
implications
when at the
end of your
action
you lose
the level
and what
happens
to
he's just
like trapped
in the
fucking
negative
first
wherever
that fucking
time gnome
went
he gets sent
to the
fucking
cum
zone
because he
just enters
like fucking
null space
I'm gonna
hang out
with my
boy
garlic
junior
I'm gonna
radicalize
the hell
out of him
all you're
gonna find
in there
we're losing
the plot
we're losing
the plot
let's take a
break
let's take a
break
you ever wonder
how we can
afford all this
amazing art
and keep the
production going
and narrative
declaration
well it's
because of
you
either
you're a
member of
patreon
a youtube
member
or a
twitch
subscriber
all the
way to
just someone
who's just
willing to
watch the
shows
whenever they
come out
for free
and then
telling people
that we
exist
it's thanks
to you
that narrative
declaration
is able to
grow to the
size it is
today
and if you
want to
really help
it grow
even more
all the
revenue
that we
get from
our
merch store
at
narrative
declaration
dot shop
where you
can pick
up game
mats
t-shirts
posters
all sorts
of things
that also
goes directly
into supporting
artists
animators
editors
players
game masters
anybody
anybody who
helps make
everything to
be due
here
successful
so thank
you so much
to you
for supporting
the show
either it's
monetarily
or just
with your
time
thank you so
much
and enjoy
the show
i assume
now with our
altercations
that we have
soared through
the skies
and had our
glorious
puppeteer
uh
the glorious
puppet pirate
leave us
behind
did he
actually leave
us as we're
going toward
aesa
yeah at this
point he
basically veers
off and just
remains like
a far far
distance behind
well okay i guess
he didn't want the
smoke after all
so let's um
uh some things to
keep in mind
before we land
one keep a hand
on all of your
belongings
anything that you
own needs to be
in a tied pouch
and it needs to be
immediately within
reach
it's gonna get
taken
if you don't
keep it
very close
two
um
if anybody looks
you in the eye
funny
look them back
you know
stare them down
don't let anybody
think that you're
weak
or easily
taken advantage
of
because you're
outsiders
and therefore
you're going to
have a lot more
to prove
asa isn't
exactly
kind
to outsiders
unless you can
kind of stand
on your own
two feet
so
we're already
gonna be at a
disadvantage
people know who
i am
people know
how i fucked
up
so
we're gonna
have a lot
to prove
and i have
no doubts
in my mind
that you lot
are a bunch
of mean
motherfuckers
that don't
take no shit
from nobody
especially you
warren
yeah i'll
eat them
yeah
i know you
will buddy
i ruffle his
hair
i'm serious
oh no i know
you are actually
he has tasted
human flesh
and worm flesh
and worm flesh
he slurps up a
worm
and
i don't
exactly
know
where
the
site
of
pop-a-storm's
power
is going
to be
but if
anybody
would know
they will
probably be
in aesa
my vision
indicated
that my
mother might
know
so
we'll go
in
we'll go
in
find her
ask her
what she
knows
and then
fuck off
all right
but
oh my
god
i'm so
sorry
you're gonna
combust
this is what
happens
this is what
happens
caustic
chugging
soda
all right
i'm sorry
i'm better
now
listen
i'm not
worried
about
any
of
us
i've
done
enough
horrible
things
in my
life
to be
secure
of my
position
and
rahua
rahua's
scary
yes
rahua is
a living
embodiment
of chaos
and anarchy
which i think
means he's
gonna be
really popular
but you
vina
you must
steal
yourself
i think
you're gonna
go back
there
and you're
gonna deal
with a bunch
of people
that's going
to make
throw your
biggest failure
in your
entire life
in your
face
over and
over and
over again
what are you
gonna do
i'm not
going to
take that
shit
i've stared
death in the
face a few
too many
times to
be cowed
at this
point
so
i can do
it
you're damn
right
and you've
got the most
disreputable
band of
bravos
behind you
i'll be
honored to
shed blood
in your
honor
with but
not with my
hands because
i made that
whole thing
you understand
blah blah blah
yeah yeah
you're gonna
have to cast
spells for
that
yes
but oh
the spells
i'll cast
i tell you
yeah yeah
you might even
turn into a
slime
i could do
that
because then
i could use
my pseudopods
that's clever
that's still
a gray area
that's still
a gray area
where we're
seeing how
uncle blaze
feels about
that one
not to me
not to me
buddy boy
that ain't a
hand
that's a
pseudopod
i think
you'll have
to justify
that to him
when the
time comes
well you
know i'll
just simply
open up a
dictionary and
let him
read
okay
yeah sure
vena
law repository
where would
that be
um it
would likely
be i
know it's
near um
where the
vicon meet
correct
yep
yeah it'll
be close to
um the
council of
vicon the
vicon council
hall
you got a
map
you'll know
it when you
see it
i don't know
these streets
don't look very
familiar to me
kind of spent
my entire
life in
outset
there's that
whole
thing of
me living
there almost
exclusively
true
but um
ayesa
you can tell
it'll be higher
up on the
mountain
and it'll
be um
at a place
where you can
see both the
sky and the
sea from its
vantage
and it's a
very fancy
building
well
as the
airship
begins to
make its
way
will you
describe
the scene
of the
city as
the group
approaches it
oh sure
um
ayesa's
structure
you see
that as
you approach
the airship
um
begins to
maneuver
between
two mountains
that are split
directly down
the middle
two mountain
faces that
face one
another with
a deep
deep ravine
through the
center
along the
sides of
those mountain
faces kind
of uh built
to face each
other there
are these
long catwalks
embedded into
the stone
there are
narrow bridges
that crisscross
over the
open air
and uh
little flags
and various
things
dangle
from these
deeply
precarious
looking
uh ledges
and roads
um
the
overall color
palette
is this
almost
white
marble
look
but it
is smeared
with this
bit
of
grime
and
grit
to it
uh the
dock
itself
is situated
at a
kind of
uh lip
between one
of the
mountains
and Vida
will point
to both
of them
and indicate
that um
one of
them
they are
the
sister
mountains
one of
which
is um
sister
mountain
Mireya
the other
one is
Mariana
and kind
of through
the mountain
Mariana
there is a
small
docking
area
that leads
into this
dark
alleyway
that runs
along the
bottom
of the
ravine
the ravine
which there
is a
river
that kind
of cuts
through
its
center
uh and
said river
has um
little bits
of what
looks to
be just
droplets
of
rot
that are
carried away
toward the
ocean
uh if
you've ever
played uh
near
replicant
it is
uh
the airy
is one
of the
big
um
vibes
all right
remember that
the airship
sets down
in the
docks
as it
does so
you can tell
that there's
interest
abound
uh
vena you know
the docks
here
it's easy
enough for
you to
um
set down
in one
of the
relatively
free births
that exist
here
um
it's more
about
worrying about
piracy
than it is
about
you know
any any
um like
payment you
have to
make
as you
set down
you can
tell that
there's
already
gaggles
that are
forming at
the approach
of an
unidentified
airship
all right
vena's gonna
kind of
straighten up
get the
hand on the
sword
all right
everybody
mean faces
on
yeah
you know
orin
it's very
quiet
you are so
intimidating
he passed
his cheeks
whoa
scary
very scary
and uh
crunch
keep an eye
on the
ship
keep an eye
on the
ship
if anybody
tries to
board
reduce them
to a
fine paste
i have a
hammer for
that
fine paste
indeed
i know
you do
and tell
raki he
can do
the same
don't
don't
don't tell
raki that
this is just
like a
oh boy
it's just
like a
it's just
like a
mountain of
fucking
pirate
corpses
already
only if
they try
to steal
the ship
no that's
not how
that works
you just
gave the
invitation
anyway
kill
everybody
we come
back and
everybody's
just gone
anyway
i had a good
run
that we
yeah the
pirates had
a good
run
they're gone
now
anyway
veen is
going to
uh
step out
onto the
dock
and uh
approach
the gaggle
kind of
there are
several dozen
if not
more
um
burly
sky
piratey
individuals
these are
pirates that
are on
uh
some form
of reprieve
and have
now come
clearly brought
by the
disturbance
again not
really
suspecting
um
an
unidentified
unannounced
airship
arrive
if you
boys could
make way
we have
uh
business
with the
principe
if you
will
there's
like
murmurs
and
what do
we do
um
then
from within
the gaggle
there is
a
oh
do my
ears deceive
me
or is
that
the great
captain
veena
and emerging
from the
gaggle
is
yet another
one
the ruling
leaders
a
scoundrel
less
half
elven
man
with
somewhat
unkempt
black hair
a bandana
around it

of a
scoundrel

vicon

still
he gets
like this
when he's
hungry
oh
watch out
yeah
exactly
don't
fuck
with him
or he's
just kind
of like
covering
his face
with his
hood
like i'll
eat
you
why would
i do
that
he's a
child
don't
fuck
with
this
guy
yeah
he's
also
not
really
a
child
that's
that's
a
grown
man
orin
how old
are you
actually
19
that's
a
dubiously
grown
young
adult
it's
a
growing
boy
he's
a
growing
boy
but
he's
still
a
cannibal
he's
a
growing
boy
but
he
looks
like
he's
42
anyway
Venus
just like
you're
really
undermining
me
here
guys
like
you're
really
I
watched
him
kill
a
man
I
watched
him
eat
him
alive
I
haven't
said
shit
well
now
you
just
said
that
no
that
was
Erndel
saying
that
oh
my
mistake
Erndel
yeah
it's
all right
Erndel
goes back
behind the
curtain
well
fine
crew
such as
yours
can
follow
me
what
is
I
like
to
say
he
turns
looks
at
you
Vina
come
away
with
me
and
he
turns
and
starts
walking
okay
thanks
bud
thumbs
up
every
like
movement
of
this
person
is
meant
to
just
be
grating
and
lecherous
but
he
somehow
manages
to
make
a path
through
the
gaggle
does
he
walk
away
like
Axel
in
Harlem
what
I'll
tell you
later
Odo
okay
oh
god
there's
there's
there's
a
shake
in
his
step
as
he
walks
yeah
we'll
we'll
leave
it
at
that
oh
my
god
I
had
like
an
impression
that we
were like
gonna be
all tough
and start
doing
the
like
one
walking
like
that
russian
animation
meme
of everyone
walking
yeah
like
I thought
we were
all gonna
like
walk
in here
like
that
but
I guess
we still
could
following
this
guy
the
words
rum
and the
words
death
should
mean
the
same
to
you
that's
something
they say
in the
thing
it's
true
I saw
the movie
that's
great
Baldrick
will lean
in to
Veena
I love
piracy
Veena
I take
it
he's
taking
all
of
you
to
meet
your
mother
for
the
first
time
well
them
for
the
first
time
hopefully
you
not
for
the
first
time
if
you
know
assumedly
would
I
be
better
suited
elsewhere
it's
gonna
be
in
the
direction
of
where
you're
gonna
be
wanting
to
go
if
you
want
to
quietly
peel
off
you're
welcome
to
although
I
will
warn
you
that
the
library
is
pretty
heavily
guarded
so
you're
going
to
have
to
get
creative
I
have
no
intention
of
blowing
it
up
don't
worry
oh
of
that I
have
no
doubt
it's a
library
I
don't
blow
those
up
true
but
be
creative
don't
get
caught
I'll
do
my
damnedest
good luck
with your
mother
thanks
you
want to
give
give me
a
stealth
check
to
break
off
at
the
appropriate
point
baldric
I
will
happily
attempt
to
do
that
yeah
let
me
roll
my
22
stealth
yeah
please
32
32
you
break
off
from
the
group
and
begin
to
make
your
way
off
sort
of
sort
of
along
like
a
side
path
which
which
runs
a bit
parallel
with
the
gaggle
you're
sort
of
moving
to
the
fringes
finding
ways
to
stay
unnoticed
or at
least
further
back
the
hall
of
records
which
is
where
the
vicomt
and
other
piratical
institutes
keep
their
documentation
is
as
Vena
described
a
well
guarded
structure
except
currently
the
guards
are
not
there
or at
least
they've
wandered
far
enough
away
from
their
posts
seemingly
watching
from a
distance
at
the
ongoing
shall
we
say
entertainment
that is
a new
group
wandering
through
town
ah
okay
so this
is actually
fortuitous
very much
so
very much
so
it almost
seems as
though
like
well
who cares
about a
library
at a
point like
this
everyone's
sort of
like
oh
captain
Vena's
back
we gotta
figure out
what's
going
on
here
all
right
assuming
I don't
need to
do
another
stealth
to
actually
get
into
the
library
the
hall
of
records
Baldrick
is going
to get
inside
and how
would you
say this
place is
laid out
is it
actually
fairly
well
organized
or is
it just
a ramshackle
mess of
books
it is
oddly
like
meticulously
organized
as you
come in
there are
wooden
shelving
units
with
in fact
those
sort
of
like
riser
stairs
on
wheels
that
you
can
cart
around
it's
got
three
distinct
levels
to it
you can
see
that
there is
some
kind
of
symbol
based
cataloging
system
that's
in play
here
there are
glass
cases
during
which
are
behind
which
are
display
units
of
certain
texts
this
is not
what you
were
expecting
what is
this laid
out in
a foreign
language
or is
it simply
a sorting
system
that I
am
unfamiliar
with
the
symbols
would
indicate
some
kind
of
sorting
system
that
you
are
unfamiliar
with
do
you
you know
what
give me
a society
check
sure
I'll
give you
society
straight
away
go
my
society
bite
me
I'm
going
to
re-roll
that
because
that's
a
22
re-roll
the
hero
point
all
right
36
to the
10
36
it's
enough
for you
to tell
that
the
symbols
are
actually
halfling
script
fuck's
sake
all
right
and
and
that
they're
very
clearly
like
short
kind
of
easy
halfling
glyphs
to
represent
things
like
family
lines
purchase
history
rules
and law
like
categorizing
it
by
different
types
interesting
is it
parsable
or do
am I
going to
have to
spend
time
studying
it
for a
little
bit
you're
you're
able
to
parse
this
pretty
quick
but
as
you're
sort
of
putting
all
of
this
together
you
distinctly
hear
footsteps
on
the
stone
floor
inside
with
a
telltale
like
not
telltale
but
like
a
catchy
like
melody
with
like
a
kind
of
tapping
sound
as
someone
is
very
much
move
like
walking
in
here
your
spell
check
would
allow
you
to
remain
hidden
possibly
like
hiding
behind
a
like
you
know
any
kind
of
piece
of
cover
whether
it's
like
a
shelf
or
a
desk
or
something
like
that
if
you
wanted
to
I
mean
if
it's
a
pub
if
it's
like
a
public
call
of
records
I
don't
know
why
it
would
be
illegal
for
me
to
be
here
no
you
can
stay
out
yeah
coming
into
view
is
a
halfling
woman
who
is
carrying
a
bundle
of
scrolls
and
a
book
Baldrick
will
look
as
natural
as
possible
as
he
is
perusing
not
he's
not
touching
the
shelves
he's
merely
looking
at
them
from
a
distance
as
this
person
comes
around
he
wants
to
look
as
as
like
he
is
supposed
to
be
here
as
possible
there
there's
like
as soon
as she
she
turns
oh
oh
hello
sorry
looking
for
something
oh
oh
what
can
I
be
helping
you
with
that's
a good
question
actually
I'd
very much
appreciate
some
help
see
I'm
looking
for
some
well
codes
of
laws
for
the
city
oh
okay
yeah
you'll
want
to
be
going
over
there
I
can
take
you
come
on
sure
by
all
means
bulgric
will
politely
allow her
to
lead
did
one
of
your
crew
kill
someone
no
mainly
here
to
study
see
I'm
here
on a
collegiate
effort
I'm
actually
from
the
city
of
outset
oh
that
shithole
okay
no
kidding
she
takes
you
over
to a
series
of
books
oh
this
is
mostly
galore
background
settling
disputes
uh
would
this
be it
uh
code
of
conduct
up
here
oh
yes
this
looking
at
that
one
pretty
recently
myself
terrific
thank
you
very
much
I
wasn't
sure
which
one
we
had
to
go
with
I
very
much
appreciated
miss
I
guess
you're
you're
not
from
around
here
hi
hi
I'm
Vicon
Yiza
they call
me the
waterway
admiral
ah
pleasure
to meet
you
Vicon
my name
is
Baldrick
Weathers
oh
pleasure
to meet
you
too
I've
got
to go
outside
by all
means
there's
going
to be
a
an
apprehension
can't
wait
that
wouldn't
involve
me
would
it
no
no
no
no
no
no
just
an
old
captain
who
fucked
up
a
lot
lost
a
ship
gonna
see
her
hang
she
turns
guess
I need
to read
fast
then
we cut
back to
the main
group
you're
pushing
through
the
crowds
Vina
you can
see
now
it's
possibly
even
a couple
hundred
people
who are
watching
now
oh
well
treffily
lost
the
whole
ship
she
doesn't
even
have
an
eye
patch
doesn't
make
intense
how
she
lose
a
ship
I
could
understand
if
she
was
missing
an
eye
Vina's
gonna
the
tomatoes
start
coming
oh
fuck
not the
air
tomatoes
the sky
tomatoes
do
you
want
me
to
handle
this
no
I
got
it
sky
tomatoes
are
scary
they're
airburst
you
see
true
uh
uh
Vina's
gonna pull
out her
dueling
pistol
and fire
a few
shots
off
into
the
air
hey
you
know
there's
land
somewhere
meanwhile
that
same
child
we've
been
following
littering
oh
that
child's
gonna
make
so
much
money
it's
it's
just
like
when
my
mother
like
had
a
big
log
that
hunters
would
shoot
at
they're
gonna
collect
all
the
pellets
you
see
there
were
two
reactionary
people
soldiers
of the
oppressive
regime
that had
him
cornered
but
those
bullets
land
just
perfectly
to
save
that
child
no
that's
right
speaker
the bullets
land
perfectly
in
in
the
soldier's
gun
so
they
can
shoot
the
child
that's
brilliant
splendid
that
child
will
go on
to
dream
up
a
crew
of
cut
throat
poppet
all
right
baby
the
crowd
does
kind
of
kind
of
stop
a bit
giving
you
a
chance
should
you
wish
to
try
to
intimidate
them
you
know
use
your
use
those
face
skills
face
I
know
finally
yeah
Vena's
going to
fire a couple
of shots
off into
the air
and just
don't you
have something
better to
do
fuck off
or the
next one
goes
to you
and I
will roll
intimidation
I will
admit
I am
better at
lying and
diplomancing
than I am
intimidating
but uh
it's still
pretty decent
well
oh
that's a
35
for you
that'll
do
well
they like
pull back
okay
I mean
I mean
airship isn't
that big
I mean
you could
lose it
I could
understand
that
it was
only a
little
one
maybe it
was the
model airship
that she
they hold
their fingers
very close
it goes
only a
little
one
well
done
captain
thanks
you were
really
really
scary
you think
so
tanny
yeah
I got
shivers
down
my
spine
oh
and that
is when
a sigh
an audible
sigh
cuts
through
the air
and cuts
mostly
into
Veena's
soul
like
the most
disappointed
sigh
that only
a mother
could have
over a
child's
petulant
actions
everything
goes
quiet
and there
is just
the clattering
of healed
boots
walking
across
the wooden
planks
the crowd
parting
immediately
see blue
skinned
elven
woman
approaches
fine
fine
clothing
of
immaculate
make
and maintenance
is towering
a figure
doesn't even
have to
push
or indicate
people to
move
they move
just at
her
presence
and
Veena
it's when
your mom
shows up
my mom
and she
looks
just with
this piercing
stare
at you
and like
then down
to your
pistols
still
all
substance
mother
captain
where's
the show
i can
give him
a show
but i had
more important
no you had
the chance
you didn't
the first
thing about
being a
proper pirate
is to
give them
the show
i remember
that for
next time
no you
won't
you never
do
each word
a knife
to the
heart
and who
what are
these
my crew
oh
that makes
sense
mother i am
not going to
dignify
that
you know
what you
being back
here means
right
there's a
shadow overhead
as the whale
passes over
and lands
far off
in the
distance
well
there's
vicon
shark skin
after
running away
in fear
running away
in fear
he was
tailing
you
here
well
he didn't
want to
accept the
duel that
i challenged
him to
so i think
even he
knows
exactly
how much
i have
grown
since you
and i
last spoke
oh is that
why you're
here in a
pleasure yacht
a pleasure
yacht
stolen
from one
of the
nobles
of outset
as he
blubbered
and cried
for mercy
oh
is your
lack of
cannons going
to do that
to other
ships
do you
want to see
what it can
do to other
ships
she looks
at you
again
sort of
looking down
looking up
shakes her
head again
all substance
no show
you need
the show
i'm not
here for
a lecture
i'm here
because i
have important
business and
the fate of
the fucking
world hangs
in the
balance
i don't
know if
you've
noticed
a distinct
lack
of breeze
from papa
storm
recently
there's like
uneasy eyes
in the
crowd
just like
looking around
and
i noticed
that too
yeah
normally my
hair's pushing
a lot more
my hair
isn't nearly
as disheveled
as it's
supposed to
be
well you
know and
this is this
is when
the brat
burner
well you
know we
have heard
and seen
for ourselves
some of
the the
effects
it could
be and
like captain
volley just
gives him
the the
sternest
look
and he
gets quiet
immediately
i'm very
i'm so
sorry
but yes
we have
noticed
that
i'm assuming
that's something
you were
involved in
i was on
the ground
floor of it
when we
stared down
an avatar
of uncle
blaze
and saw
what the
parasites
of outset
were planning
to do
with the
old powers
and you
let it
happen
at least
you're home
and we
can make
things
right
that is
what i'm
here to
do
guards
and like
there's like
this thumping
of boots
at that
um
baldrick
give me a
give me a
legal lore
test
please
okay
what am i
rolling for
that
outset
law lore
all right
it'll count
i guess
this place
is just as
bad as
outset
so maybe
it works
oh bite
me hard
that's a
two
oh no
do i have
a hero
point left
you do
it looks
like you
do
you have
you have
my pity
point
as well
okay
how am i
gonna make
that up
to you
you're gonna
have to add
a complication
to it
is what's
gonna happen
okay
that's right
let me see
if i've got
a complication
available
yes
good
oops
sorry
wrong one
i was on
i was on
the wrong
complication
sheet
sorry
okay sing it
with this
chat
all right
fine
i'll
i'll
i'll do
that with
a re-roll
and i'll
give you a
complication
thurston
beautiful
i love it
do it
uh shall i
roll first
or complication
first
roll first
then you can
tell me
okay i will
i will i will
re-roll this
using my free
piteous point
good thing too
because it's a 36
again this time
very good
and the
complication
is
who put that
there
by
berg
4077
while attempting
to do something
a character
stubs their
toe stroke
hits their
funny bone
or appropriate
equivalent
on a
heretofore
unseen
object
is that
acceptable to
you thurston
that is
extremely
extremely
acceptable
to me
uh
you go
you start
pouring through
the document
trying to
find anything
you can
um
about
you know
laws pertaining
to losses
of ships
and and
dossier
legal
um
legal woes
um
now what
you find
is that
someone
up to and
including a
vicomte who
has their
who loses
their ship
uh
or in the
case of a
fleet
mistress
the majority
of their
fleet
um
they would
normally be
penalized
depending on
the method
of which the
ship was
lost
that penalty
typically
leading to
death
as and
dossier is
very very
protective
of its
few
uh
homegrown
ships
that being
said
um
a vicomnd
can attempt
to petition
or or a
person who's
had their
ship uh
lost in
such a way
and this
is this
is a this
is the
secret sauce
you find
they can
petition
um
the leading
vicomns
to overturn
the decision
in a vote
but in order
to do that
they must
have one
of the
vicomns
sponsor
them
and that
sponsorship
essentially
gives them
three days
in which
to
turn
the tide
of opinion
hmm
sounds to
me like
we have
to pick
a vicomnd
who would
not want
to see
vena dead
of which
there are
maybe two
of the
ones we've
seen
but you
also know
that unless
this this
act is
invoked
and known
about
um and
it is a
very obscure
uh like
article
um then the
person could
be executed
up to
immediately
hmm
baldrick
will
he will
take the
book with
him
rather than
simply citing
a vague
law that
nobody knows
about
and he's
aware that
this is going
to probably
cause some
issues
and i
presume
in doing
so he's
going to
wang his
head on
uh like
some kind
of some
kind of
steam pipe
that just
erupts out
of nowhere
thurston
as has been
the case
every time
yeah
yeah
um
absolutely
absolutely
um and
as that
happens
damn it
to hell
stupid
fucking
visor
you carry
on
you drop
something
but you
don't realize
you've
dropped
oh
oh no
my wallet
with all
three of
my gold
in it
and that
three gold
helps
kickstart
another
resistant
cell
due to
the child
true
that
gold
that was
the make
a wish
foundation
that's how
the child
was able
to start
it's
yeah
true
but with
that
you make
your way
out
as you
do
make
your way
out
you can
see the
the like
the the
the gathering
and you
actually would
like come
out to the
shout of
guards
oh terrific
all right
and baldric is
going to
stomp his
way purposefully
through the
crowd
yeah at this
point you see
your your
allies like
vena
rahua
or and
um tan
hauser all
sort of like
i assume like
secret servicing
around vena
um yeah
as as like
a host of
these like
pretty well
armed pretty
pretty skilled
soldiers begin
to advance
hold
hold
i said
hold
there's a
pause
everyone sort
of looks
over
ah the
bucket man
is here
what's going
on here
i step away
for five
damn minutes
and she's
already being
accosted by
guards
what's
happening
um
at this
point the
the halfling
sort of
comes
forward
oh
well
the law's
the law
her mother
can declare
it
thus her
life is
forfeit
ah
thank you
vikon
that actually
was very
helpful for
me to
understand
because
as far
as i'm
aware
stating
penal
code
and baldrick
is going
to pull
out the
book
at this
point
and flip
to the
relevant
page
does this
have a
name
associated
with it
thurston
or shall
i make
something
up
you you
can make
something
up i
trust you
to make
a pirate
code
loss
yes
when you
pull it
out can
like all
like the
pirates
around be
like the
code
i thought
you were
gonna say
all the
pirates
groan
because
someone's
about to
read
legal
precedent
oh
come
on
all right
simmer down
simmer down
penal code
to 35
lagren's
law
any
captain
or vicond
found guilty
of losing
a ship
or any
such
breach
of law
or trust
is entitled
to be
sponsored
by
a vicond
and is
allotted
three days
time to
attempt to
sway a
vote in
favor of
her
or his
in this
case her
potential
stay
of
i'm going
to assume
you're going
to kill
her so
we'll say
stay of
execution
and he
will hold
the book
up
pointing to
the very
small
text
yeah they
all like
he knows
how to
read

knows how
to read
whoa
oh no
that's a
code reader
boy take
your head
off
another
sigh

sponsor such
foolishness

of you
vicons
wants to
help save
the fucking
world

you step

a sigh
her lips
curling
as her
mouth
moves
to make
a response

come out
something else
comes
