just quickly go through the crew sheet just to make sure there's nothing i missed um so you guys your
special abilities was you everyone one thing you might want to do i don't know if you did this was
assign your special uh your extra tokens or your extra traits oh right because that'll affect
is that the same thing is that the same thing as special abilities uh no okay i remember now it's
con sword there's a whole bunch of them i gotta print this out at work so i have a copy of it
personally you get to like that's already set for you and like i said you get to assign some more so
you might want to do that before we start just so you like have an opportunity to roll things
all right also tiger i can't see you but i think that's more of my uh laptop than it is you yeah
uh so you have like on your character sheet you have like two already you have three already
filled in for you three dollars yeah you get four more four more yeah i don't even know what to spend
them on should i just not worry about it um the more you spend on the more advantage you get in that
just want to pick some for now and then you change your mind that's fine too i don't i'm not gonna
yeah and then you get a special attack usually they say like do the first one if you don't know
stop talking about her she just came home and she wants to give me a hug but she's embarrassed
so you're gonna have to give her some applause to get her to come on stage all right well she doesn't get anything
she dressed up for the occasion did you notice to hug you yeah it's like mel can you close the door
has anyone ever played um dishonored yeah yeah i played a little bit of that in preparation
the the main character it's the girl i forgot her name i know the first one said corvin yeah but
it's corvin's daughter um she's our brother yeah i guess he bangs in the first one but uh she's really
oh alias is that the same thing as a nickname right yeah yeah all right that'd be chuckles for you or
all right cool oh yeah i ate the leftover so we're gonna do are we gonna introduce our characters in
game so like as our characters or do we're gonna introduce it because i had it kind of typed out like
i just didn't know if we were doing that whole like everyone go around the table introduce your
oh i don't i have a bit oh how am i not surprised hey leave me alone hey why don't you have some cereal
i will it's i had some of his cereal earlier the s'mores one and i i haven't eaten it yet i've never
tried it it was so good i can see why he eats it it was really good would you say you're addicted now
uh i i definitely might get some more later oh boy not you gotta ask permission that's true
oh we gotta pick our friends too right yeah but that's one thing if you guys want to take your
time on that one you can't i don't think we're going to get to that point tonight at all so
brandon your camera's frozen you still look like you're writing are you uh you guys ready to go
yeah to me you are yeah it's definitely my camera it's not uh oh there you are hi hello are you some kind
uh brandon you want to go first and introduce your character sure um i'm a pirate from the dagger
isles uh originally came from the city so i bought some a white boy i look like a younger keith richards
if he dressed up like a pirate which keith richards which he did for pirates of the caribbean so you
can look that up um i don't wear a hat but i'm in the market for one i just wear a black bandana
um i'm very proud of my frock my red frock coat but it's seen better days it looks like a it looks
like it was recently it looks like it recently slept in an alley because i slept in an alley
i'm known as the ghost pirate not because i'm a pirate who died and became a ghost but because
i'm a whisperer who collects ghosts like davy jones um i vanished five years ago and i just
showed up in the town a few uh a few weeks back um unfortunately i'm broke and i need a job and
and since i have the unfortunate moniker of the ghost pirate people assume that i was an actual ghost and
therefore that i'm not real so no one buys it when i say i'm captain clyde the ghost pirate they just
okay i sail the seven seas trying to cover the seven dagger isles or how many there are out there
my character's personality is a combination of the dude from big lebowski and bojack horseman from
i'm not cowardly but i will look out for myself and i wouldn't count on me to come and save you
yeah right familiar i don't i mean i don't i mean i'm i'm still i'm changing lanes but i'm still on the
so uh my my character is uh charles xander double day also known as chuckles um it's a nickname that um
the last time i imagine he's kind of uh uh uh inspired by like charlie day from from always sunny in
philadelphia uh he never went to school but somehow he's learned that he's actually really good at like
and um sort of grew up without a father in a single mother's home and um took up just the craft from
his his grandfather and mother and he's he's a tinkerer um but he's always sort of lived in the streets
um but he's not really uncomfortable is he from doskable yeah let's yeah let's let's let's decide that now
yeah it's a huge city it's a major metropolitan metropolitan area yeah mostly dishonored is probably
that is a really good choice for set is a really good choice for like a you know i think about it
i'll put i'll put some of those in there too um there's i put all the soundtracks in it that i used
for the other games so if uh you want to pull those up later we can do that oh yeah i was kind of
clicking through them playing with some of them all right wish squish okay squish doesn't really have
much of a backstory okay as of right as of right now but he his name is uh turquish sunder also known as squish um he is a teacher
what is that white eyes pale pale red skin and pointed teeth so he's a monstrosity yeah but they're like
it's not half demon but they're part he's part demon is it an affront to god and everyone else
i meant to really ask our children afraid of him but what i said was does he please children
squish the child pleaser no um he's very introverted so he hasn't really come out and told a lot of
you're just gonna have to talk to him and discover things about him later i'm sorry what did he look like
again he's uh white eyes pale red skin and pointed teeth all right cool red skin red light red skin
so not like male so not like hellboy no no it's like sunburned yeah but like extra sunburned
like the the next day after after extra sunburned like zoidberg no not even that red like a little
bit less than that okay he has pointed teeth point all of his teeth are pointed cute and it is he does go by he
like what does he do like my guy's a tinkerer what does your guy do oh he's a hound he's a hound
so yeah he's like uh almost like an assassin but he's like a long range okay um sniper basically
assassin from a distance yeah like yeah like most snipers i listen or most assassins i assume
charlix-zander charlix-zander charlix-zander yeah well don't over pronounce it it's unbecoming
yeah charlix-zander yeah very now i know why you go by chuckles i don't because you're a child pleaser
oh wait i want to send you that picture in the little chat so i didn't realize the pirate thing
was intentional but in your in your profile thing i thought that you just like typed in steampunk and
okay i don't own any token for vision for this scene oh yeah you got a new token vision for every scene
you see it oh wow that's crazy because i had i have the sheet up i watched you on unclick it
that's just that's just for you we have to zoom out there okay uh well hold on let me do the i got
to take lightly he's currently one of the leaders of three gangs currently in the in the town that you're
opera the area of city you're operating crow's foot he's the leader of the lamp backs do you see him
yeah he looks tough he does uh he has hired you three off the street no explanation given asked if
okay so um oh shit my camera's frozen i know but it's it's it's a flattering oh again so we're
gonna figure out why we're all together later right now oh okay you're gonna figure right now okay he's
hired the three of you because he has a fucking score to settle uh he's about to tell you about it right now
you're in the cramped office overlooking his whole warehouse down below his office is above
a full warehouse that's his uh headquarters uh bazzo baz the leader of the lamp backs one of the
gangs fighting for dominance and crows but he is surrounded by his thugs armed to the teeth for war
with pistols swords cudgels brass knuckles he is not playing around you three are here because you
needed work and there's a rumor in every pub on rat catch rat catcher lane that says he's hiring so
i don't really think i have a choice i think i'm out voted here i'm hungry too we can't vote you in
over there in crow's foot that fancy school in the middle of my slum where all these are ruby and
nobles they send their kids there and they practice sword fighting meanwhile they're in my streets
we came to an agreement her and i we decided we were going to put side bygones be guy bonds we're
just decided it's not worth paying attention to anymore we're gonna go well you were gonna go
um you heard the crows right the crows of the crows back or crows foot they're the ones in that tower
in the middle of crows foot so you guys are aligned you you're aligned against the crows feet or you're
subservient to the crows feet we were with them i'm still with them you know we were we were all three
and ever since then the red sashes miranda she thinks she can just do whatever she pleases she
you and me both buddy and i can't do it because everyone's waiting for me to do the first thing
if i act out of line then i'm the bad guy oh right yeah i'll take your job you take your job
perfect here's what you guys are going to do her too what double i'll kill her too for double
you can't kill her not yet i'll kill her everyone i see where we're getting that we'll work to the
killer and i can see it i want you to steal from her also what also good i don't know how keith
in little school for sword fighting they have a chest it's their war chest i bet that they have
about 12 coin in there that's a month's worth of wages for men like you now i can't give you all of it
but i'll give you four of it if you steal it for me and if you steal some other things and smash
some shit up while you're in there hey you can do that that's not that's not up to me now say in this
so we're gonna break into her fortress do you think she's got um some food she definitely has food if you
uh enter in the back along the canal there's a kitchen back there right right uh does she have cats
does she have cats yeah do we know anybody i was just wondering it's a natural question does
does she have cats cats they make good eating no i don't want to eat the cats i just i want to you
know let the you got to feed the cats right so just a little bit for the cats a little bit or or hear me
out cats feed us well we'll figure out the details on that yeah i don't need your approval okay
in terms of cats i don't know uh i would say that tonight would be a very good time to go in there
uh they're well you know they got that school's sword fighting school they're gonna put on a little
display at the aruvian consulate so they'll probably be gone most of them this evening uh that's when i would
go if that's if that's an option but that's a great option do you no questions asked preferably
you know it's a game breaker as they say killing miranda yeah if you kill miranda i'm coming after
you because then you've put a lot of hot shit on me and you are a very mustachioed man i would not mess
with you they don't just hand those out those mustaches um and miranda is she is she a looker
well dirty's my type so we'll see how it goes but no definitely won't stab you in the back sir
mr bass no no no siri in the days all right all right you boys got any more questions for me
before i kick you out of here how long is this sword fighting school thing last like how long
we got like a day or a week or what but those rubians you know what time they eat dinner not till 11
p.m this thing's gonna go on all fucking night ah those guys yeah you guys don't get me started i'm
all right you know what now i think i'm developing a taste for cats there's other cats in this job
right they're delicious i never wanted to eat cats until now right what did you want to do with them
the cat no it's what the cats eat it's what they represent right cat food i want the cat food
oh yeah or dog food if that's all she's got why eat the cat food when you can eat the cats because i
oh you always forget you have sharp sharp terrifying teeth always you always forget after two minutes
of meeting him all you have to all you have to do is look at me and you can see him i always forget
you're getting four you're four coin for this so what's our what's what's the up front uh you know
the payment up front so to speak there's no payment up front what is this sandwich we're very hungry
throw me a few scraps will you if you want to roll for sway a sway roll and see if you can convince
him go for it to give you like he's maybe he's he is he eating lunch right now is it like does he
pieces of like a thin meat and you know kind of eating them like a cigar oh my god this guy is
decadent as fuck he's also smoking a cigar he's got he's double fisting it oh god that is decadent
you're rolling for gabagool all right how do i do that uh before we continue that do we have to
give you our four attributes uh you should have them down but i trust you okay that's a mistake yeah
yeah so how many do you have like marked under sway uh sway zero zero okay so normally you would roll uh
if i have zero points yeah usually it's like you roll multiple and then you take like the lowest of them
i shouldn't be it says public should be in the chat i got it i got it i got it i got it oh yeah the
dies don't roll on there because we didn't turn that module on okay i could turn it on now though
gool out of your hands i see you're smoking that fine fine cigar it's got to be really tough to do
both uh it doesn't even really look that good as you reach for the cigar he grabs your hand with one
big bear like oh yeah and he's just very politely in the same manner you would with a dog you catch
sneaking up on the table just right shoves it back down i'll take that as a no fine choice sir fine
choice you do that outside enjoy enjoy your gabagool mr bass he kind of nods to one of his thugs nearby
and he kind of gives them a little nod and uh this very burly burlesque man armed to the teeth very
politely but firmly guides you guys out the door down the warehouse steps and closes the door behind
well that was fun i'd say that went well right did you get the meat no i didn't get the i i did not
get the meat uh you make your mistake was you tried to bargain i would have just stolen it but i'm not
so what do we do now foes gents the score is for you guys to go to the to the eruvian uh sword
fighting school which is located in uh crow's foot here let me give you a map and miranda is eruvian
she is she is she is a rubian red sashes there's a rubian red sashes that's a race of people or is
that the name of the gang it is they are from the southern continent okay they are um they have an
embassy here in duskville they are known for being a very rich luxurious nation um that's basically in a
a warmer climate okay so i don't think the map is very good but if you look at crow's foot uh it's
like in the center of the map here let me try to find a better one uh crow it's the uh hold on sorry
okay that's not a better map that's the best map i have um yeah if you look at crow's foot you see
this big axe in the middle i like towards the top that's the school okay you guys are over in the docks
mm-hmm this is cool oh it's in the docks you said no school's not in the docks schools and crow feet
but we're in the docks we're in the doctor okay yeah i've already started walking away casually with
like you know slouching with my hands in my pocket wait you know and you two guys are just kind of like
are you whistling i'm not whistling but i am definitely like let's got to move on we're going to get this job done
hey chuckles i think we should follow the guy in the bandana oh yeah no i will go anywhere as long as
i'm not in the front that kind of sounds like his mo well he's in the front for now wait until the
action starts i've heard he steps away really quickly well i'm gonna what you say i'm not a coward but i'm not
gonna stick around while you guys be fools on the battlefield or in a bar or anywhere i don't
do you have a game plan no no no no i mean our first game plan was a walk towards it and i think we're
your best sword fighters are right now or are going to be at you know night to uh going to a uh
display or a demonstration at the arubian consulate kind of like uh jesse jackson's tumblers
yeah they're gonna tumble with swords all right uh what so it's gonna be it's gonna be less full
but there will be people there okay so like guards and the like all right so um it's a it's a big
okay yeah i say we take the sneaky method here well we could always we can always un sneaky right
we'll try it and if they find us it's the same as going in through the front door i mean none of us
here are particularly persuasive so maybe maybe we try going through the garden first or the back i guess
this is what i'm saying go through the back yep go to the back all right so in terms of dice rolling
what happens now is we do an engagement roll depending on how well you do hold on i gotta turn the tv
what the hell is that i burped i'm a hulk definitely was an image for something that got super loud so
engagement roll basically depending on your plan that you just told me you get different dice so uh this
is a plan that exposes a vulnerability right so you guys are uh sneaking in when they're not there
on it okay um and then you do because it is going to be a higher tier that these guys are um
so uh that's an extra die for being uh very bold and daring going against some people that are much
i'm trying to figure out how do you roll dice uh so in the yeah in the chat slash r and then d6
oh your your dice are pink that's misogyny i'm so i just i didn't see him you didn't either
well how does it show you how many like you rolled oh there we go six one two okay so you guys got a
critical success so and as you uh sneak around the back side of the house you see that the canal
runs along the back of the house so you wisely steal a boat further down or upstream and you paddle
quietly up into the canal and you're not captain i'm captain that's not happening red man i'm
captain and i'm going to be leading the ship oh you can't just call him red man whoa whoa we've been
he's pink if anything definition of offensive my smell is offensive yeah i know that i don't care
wait does it does it does it can i'll go into the building i don't see anything on the map hold on
left of the anvil or underneath the angle on the top left there's a dice and you can you can just
so this is the house up here you can see it's a very large manor it's a three-story building
it's made out of concrete white stone or not concrete white stone and columns it probably was
really impressive at one point but now the city is just kind of grown up around it and it's grimy and
all the building all the buildings are so much taller now so but it does have some nice gardens around
it you guys end up here you're on the first floor right by the dock okay so far you can tell that
there's only a handful of guards there's two of them but they're currently on the other side of the
the building right at the moment all right be quiet that's times to burst times for sneaking all right
like that would be that would be like a finesse um don't be like prowling so roll whatever your prowl is
yeah i took two in prowl actually from my attributes okay yeah so you roll two and then you take the
do it i like i parkour up to the i mean i assume there's like balconies on the second floor
i look at it i'm very i look at i'm very like like like i'm out of shape and i'm very like not
looking forward to trying to have to do that like did you know you could do that and you look to me and
all right uh uh sure you can go do that um let's see let's do a fortune roll see if it's locked
it's a three uh you kind of it's the worst and you can kind of tell that it's loose but it's not
quite uh um like locked lock you could probably like if you forced your way and you could force
but it's loose but it won't open well all right well can i see if like the door by me is open
however i would like to know what um squish sees up there can i can i whisper yell to him or is that
not the sort of action you're looking for no you can do that if you want to kind of yell up to him
um that's going to be do you want to try to do it quietly yes uh so let's try your prowl uh if you
have a prowl i have zero in prowl too okay i've done most things did you put yourself you put the
point somewhere though right yes yeah okay uh so uh i'm gonna have you roll two and then take the lowest
score okay so that would be our plan if you have a zero just roll two take the lowest score okay
are definitely going to be hurt if you do that um and that's going to attract the attention of the guards
so that's what's going to happen or you can resist it and that'll you'll end up gaining some stress for
is that that's the crew no it's individually so if you look on the left on your your lead sheet
there'll be like little like dashes like a third of the way down i see yeah so one two so the way
it's gonna work is that you're gonna roll and then whatever um the difference is from six um
um and before we get too far do we pick a load oh shoot no we should pick a load right now uh so
load is how heavy you guys want to be um three is very light um no one's going to assume that
you're sneaking in with three load five is normal that's kind of your heavy that's you know like
you're carrying some things you definitely look like you're up to something and then anything other
other than that is like heavy load so what do you guys want to do like if i was carrying say like
so that's part of your load too um it should say in your book how many are in your book on your page
if you have like a tool kit how many loads that is yeah like i know oh i see there it is it's like
so yeah you have to do both all right um well i'm taking mine is going to be light so you're going
to do light like so three yeah yeah so the tinkering tools are just one load you can have two on you
i'm sorry bridget i didn't mean to like cut you off to explain stuff i'm glad you mentioned it
you said you're going to go light as well yes okay brandon i think i my load was uh what four i think
uh yeah you were like normal i think that's five yeah i think i think we said four when we talked about
one of my items so but four or five it don't matter that's the max you can have is five yeah
okay yeah so the way the resistance rules work so um under your character sheets where it says like
all your um all your traits it has like categories like insight progress result do you see that
that's for resisting yes so this is going to be a uh this is going to be a uh insight rule well i'm not
i almost said sorry well it would be a yell wouldn't it well it would be but you know i'm gonna
know i'm gonna do like one of those like hollywood's yell whispers squish squish what are you what what
what's up here on the other side of the building suddenly stop and you can tell that they're like
looking at each other and you can probably see this from your advantage now squish you see these two
guards stop and kind of stare at each other and they start walking back the other way uh so i'm
gonna do a four progress uh clock and you guys have ticked off one segment you've alerted the guards
all four and they're gonna come find you thanks thanks i i lean over and look at him and just put my
right the the guards are like they're slowly walking your way down you so if you guys want to do
something else you have time before they come in and stop you i'm gonna try to open up the door
or the window whatever is on the balcony you're gonna open up the window okay um uh let's see uh
let's do a fortune roll see if it's open you know what it's gonna be open just open it uh okay it's a
second floor they're not expecting anyone to come in this way so you open up the second floor window
they weren't expecting a sharp-toothed red-skinned man to parkour up the side of the building who thought
do we have we don't have comms though like we did in star wars do we so we have no idea what's going on
up there no so if you two what do you what would you guys like to do i'm checking windows is there any
windows that are open on the first floor not on the first floor okay all right so so you've noticed
that the windows are not open all right so i'm gonna start climbing i take it back do a study do you have
okay go ahead and roll one die how do i do that again uh there's dice on the your your cursor was
right over it okay like did you find it is that it there it is yeah two it's the worst outcome
no second worst i but in the chat it's the worst outcome yeah yeah because three and three and under you
so you're looking around you're trying to see uh if any of the windows are open and honestly it's been a
long time since you ate and pretty dark so you don't see very much at all um and i'm trying to
the strain of it makes your eyes hurt so take one stress oh my god uh i got one stress yeah my god cap cap
you look don't yell that's what's got us into this mess all right i'll kill them all please wait wait
not miranda promise me you will not kill miranda don't forget don't kill miranda i'm not gonna kill
anybody yet i'm gonna kill you if i don't get in this house soon all right uh i think i have something
you made that man you made that man climb up and have a building i tried i he just did that no one asked him to
so what's your tinker score uh my tinker score is three okay you get three plus uh you get to add
uh an extra one because you're going to use your tool okay so that's four dice you're gonna roll
four dice mark mark one on your load too yes and mark one off on your load because you're using it
so you uh you jiggle the door handle with your special tools you tinker at it and the door suddenly
opens up no issues and it opens up silently no noise all you do is ask i walk in like looking at
i'm somewhat impressed good job chuckles and i just walk right past them you know you gotta quit saying it
you have walked into the kitchen uh it's dark in there the kitchen staff are all all the servants are not uh
is there is there wait the most important thing is there alcohol no the most important thing is are
was that a cat did you hear that was that a whiskey bottle did you hear that yeah kind of it was a cat
all right i'm can i use a perception roll to find some alcohol you can use a study roll yes
what does that mean so under study you have so many spots so i just use the one again is that what you have
you can't quite see anything and instead you uh you hit something uh you hit one of the table counters
this would be a lot easier looking for booze if i wasn't already a little drunk all right well that
was probably not the best idea to be drunk into a heist that's the best time to be drunk you make
the lack of alcohol is really grinding on you great all right i'm too stressed i'm so stressed out i
can't find alcohol i mean would that lower the clock uh you know what they're on the other side of the
building right well they're coming around to your side so like if we're looking at a square you guys are
in the back they're kind of coming up to that left hand corner um so they're getting there but i'm
gonna have them take a stress instead okay because i don't think they hear you inside of the kitchen
right yet gotcha not even done any damn cooking sherry in this kitchen uh andy you are in the uh
sorry squish the room that you get into is uh you realize it's kind of just an abandoned room there's
not much anything in it um so if you want you can walk out into like the main hallway section you're
on the second floor of the uh of the school which kind of overlooks the bottom floor and then also
has some other rooms going off to the side that's got bedrooms and a common room um on the other side
of the hallway okay where did we say the chest was you don't know where the chest is oh i thought he said
it was like i thought they said it was in the school it's in the school okay i will tell you that there
down yeah yeah so the hallway that you come out of i really wish i could send here let me send you guys a
better picture of the map so you can kind of see it well yeah the thing we uh we should neck for next
time we should get some tokens for on the on the uh or what are they called they're called tokens yeah
all right all right i'll do that later we'll play around with that um yeah so if you're on the
second floor here uh you can't like if you look at the map there's that brown section in the corner
where it says second floor brown oh okay and then you walk into this hallway and you see where it's
kind of got this brownish rectangle those are the stairs that go down okay and when you go down those
stairs they lead you down to the main floor where the two guys are and you are on this like bottom
half of the uh yep there you go right there right next to the library so you can either go out into the
main hall or wherever you'd like to go from there and those two guards are outside they're outside so
all right uh is there like a piece of like pottery or something i can throw out of a window to distract them
a library well no you're in the hallway uh there's nothing in the hallway but if you walk out you're
going to be in the great hall okay oh that is a great hall it's token token vision okay because
okay do you see it yes so that you are walking into the great hall so yes there are pieces of pottery
the window or do you want to throw it in the great ball inside i'd like to throw it out the window
okay yeah go ahead um that'd probably be like a finesse roll because it's about you kind of being
okay you pick up a vase and uh you open up the window and you chuck it out um and it bounces for a
that's awesome uh the guards uh turn and they start running back the other direction you can
hear them huffing and puffing what the hell was that did you fucking hear that um but you also
all right then i run towards like the kitchen okay yeah you can there's nobody on the ground
floor yet so uh you can just go ahead and meet the rest of them in the kitchen okay i don't have a
kitchen you know it's the one thing i didn't grab we always seem to overlook the kitchens here
didn't i didn't you learn from me yelling i'm still looking around for me that's why i was doing it was
to distract those guards that we saw to the opposite side of the room where we are all right well did you
you find out anything else vases bounce a couple times before they break oh that's not useful
did you learn anything uh i started looking around for the box yes we need the box yeah we already knew
that the chest no i didn't learn that you need to split up or stay together which one would you guys
need to work together but you guys gotta stop smelling your names and throwing vases out windows
i'm not sure how it would help well it didn't we need to get out of here they're coming out
all right uh so we're in the kitchen um i would like to grab a piece of raw meat from a table
you can go ahead and eat that meat i don't know how good it's been since it's been sitting out for
a while and this is pre-refrigeration but you can go ahead and eat on that oh it's salty is what it is
i'll give some things for you so if you get the idea of the layout of the house i wish i had a
picture of the kitchen but anyway you're in the kitchen it's a normal you know nicer looking
kitchen there's silver and copper pots and pans and everywhere there's knives everywhere there's
and from there uh there are four rooms that branch out into the corners and then there are two
additional rooms um one uh is like a library and the other one is like a general common room
everything on the down floor the bottom floor is dark uh you don't really see or hear anything going
on downstairs but like i said you did hear someone upstairs and you do maybe see a faint light up the
stairwell the great hall is where andy came from yes okay if i grab like a kitchen knife does that go
but i'm gonna use them as throwing knives okay but throwing knives is oh yeah it's one load yeah
yeah although it does say plural throwing knives well anyway whatever two is plural yes that's what i
that's what i was saying okay all right do you guys think it would be in the basement or in the
on the top floor i think one or the other but those were the two options yes well i mean there's there's
two right or it could go wrong i mean there's two floors in between that i'm ruling out it's not on the
the first floor it's not on the second floor it's either the third floor or the basement is what i
say go to the third floor everyone lights things up high yes when you're trying to avoid being flooded
it doesn't have anything to do with being a pirate it has everything to do with hiding things
i can't believe what i'm hearing you bigot all right settle down settle down all right we'll
the pirates are proud people yes we know you're so proud you won't shut up about it now can we go to
the third floor to the third floor then and i walk out and i mumble under my breath as he leaves like
yeah he's so proud he doesn't even have a hat i don't need a hat you couldn't hear that quit yelling
but captain's in front to avoid that light that that faint light that we saw yes avoiding the light
all right walk into the dark hall now there are two staircases there's one to the north and one to the
well they go up but there's no staircase down there's no like down they just go up do you know what i'm saying
all right how do you want to go up these stairs you just want to walk up them you want to prowl what
do you want to do oh i'm prowling you guys can do a group prowl we're a group prowling we're all doing this
everybody everybody throws their um prowl trait so if you've got one or three prowl whatever
and then uh you as a group you just take the highest whoever has the highest one that counts for everybody
i have zero for prowl so what do i put you roll two two and take the lowest basically disadvantage
all right two two yeah so you're still guys you pick the highest of all three of you so it was a six
so you all crawl up the steps together um you know in your little huddled group and you get to the top
of the steps and you realize it's you know it's very quiet the lights are down low you can kind of hear
um in the corner um as you're going up the steps um here let me get a better picture um as you're going up
the steps it opens up into the floor down below that's what you guys can see to your uh left hand
side there's two larger rooms the doors are shut but inside you can hear some giggling some like
laughing um you're kind of you know and some lights underneath the door but they completely ignore you
across the hall is a is a common room just a room with uh some big couches a fireplace it's very dimly lit
um furthermore uh there is a uh like an abandoned room a bathroom a lecture room all in all it's just
you know a whole lot of rooms hey i came out of that abandoned room there was no chest in there
i would like to um i hear the giggling and i would like to um creep up on the because it's it's on the
other side of a door right did i hear that right right yeah they can't hear they can't hear you or see
you on that side can i look through the keyhole yes i would like to see what's what's the giggling
all about go ahead and use study to see how closely you can see through there all right study i have one
why was there even an option is it always a partial success i'm curious all right so now i'm rolling one d
five five i wonder how i wonder i wonder so you see weird go ahead i'm gonna roll a zero d again
seems like it's like it's always a partial success that's weird all right so i rolled a five
so you roll a five uh you look into the keyhole um and what you see is a group of small children
um they range in size age and size uh they range in size from age from like you know five years old up to
about mid teens or young preteens like 12 years old a bunch of boys um they're all just being boys in
their little dormitory giggling and laughing um but as you're looking you hear a noise from across the
what are you doing i lost track of where the common room is is it on the other side of the door is it
behind us or so you're so you guys came out from uh the stairwell you turn to the left and you're like
looking through uh the the people across from the room that you came in from on the other side of the
great hall that you can look down is the common room so they've heard and seen something whoever is
over there um but they have not found you yet but you definitely have their attention um and it's
i kind of want to go see what that was about i well all right so i have a i have a question maybe
in character or i mean maybe out of character uh i i guess the answer is probably it depends but
do we need to sneak like if you said it was like a little person going hello i mean we could probably just
talk to it it you could if you wanted to sneak you could sneak around him and if you succeeded you
probably wouldn't see you um or you could just go and talk to him that's up to you too okay all right
if it's a child you will scare it then i can convince it it's having a nightmare by threatening
it you're going to pretend to be a monster i if things go bad uh captain what is your charisma
i mean is it sway sway consort and command command is like a direct command like hey stop it or come
like any of those i have command i have i have sway i say we send the red tooth man in all right
let's send the red tooth man in all right i go to talk to the child pretend and you walk into the
common room hold on let me pull that out um as you walk into the common room you uh see they're
they're sitting in the fire by the fireplace um not in the fire on the fireplace hold on let me uh on the couch
do you see it yes yep so sitting there on one of the couches in the fireplace it's behind the fireplace
not in it is a little boy he's got big glasses and a big chubby face and a big sword hanging off his belt
uh well the good news is is he's not completely turned off by you uh he's not you know running
he's not 100 he's not 100 convinced that he's gonna that you uh you belong there but he's not
gonna say anything um but you do realize now too um that the guards that were outside have now come
inside they've seen the broken urn they ran back to the door the door was open and uh they've come in
i don't know what you guys are but you can't be up here it's it's it's it's uh it's nights out i'm not even supposed to be out
and then they said i couldn't go in the dormitory because i'm too young even though i'm not the youngest
they made their way up to the stairs but they're doing a thorough check of the of downstairs so
well not turning out well they do have electric lights turning on a few lights um they're kind of
you know opening up the doors peeking their heads in um they haven't come up the stairs yet
oh well he he definitely doesn't think that you're cats but he's also not the sort of kid who's gonna
go and like make like try to figure it out himself he's more than happy to pretend that you are cats
so he did see us he he doesn't think you're cats though but he doesn't want to know what you are
sway the boy oh boy failure to two it's the word so what do you say to him i say well i think you
should go up to bed i think it's a little too late and the guards are making their rounds and so you don't want to
get in trouble i i'm the one that's gonna be in trouble here buddy i mean i know you're like the
demons that are downstairs in the basement but but you can't just boss me around you're not you're not
my boss uh and and he says that something you hear on the steps uh behind in the in the steps you guys
have just come up you hear the guards they're starting to make their approach of the steps oh boy
i mean boy why why are who told them there were demons in the basement i come in barging and
commanding what is in that basement roll your command roll definitely this is going to be great
i only have one dot yeah all right oh i should i should offer to help him do you want to do a demon's
bargain what does that mean so uh if he takes the devil's bargain he can try to roll for you and do
better um but if he does that he's gonna have to take some uh some issue he's gonna take some harm
the harm that you are gonna take you're gonna take three stress um because you're gonna have to try and uh
convince this kid uh you know kind of scare him to you're gonna have to use your demon abilities which i'm sure
doesn't make you very happy to uh convince this boy to tell you what's going on yeah i don't want to do
that all right the little so brandon tell me how you command this kid i barge in where like like a pirate out of
your nightmares but apparently that's what i think because the kid's not scared but i like walk up and
start pointing my finger at him but i guess it's not intimidating at all like i thought it would be
oh the kid's scared right but instead of uh instead of screaming he pulls the scimitar from his belt
that he's been holding and uh he weighs in front of you and he's like i'm only level two but i'll
you should probably get out of here all right i come out from hiding hold on hold on i don't fight this
want is the box we just want the chest we don't want to kill children we can't have that happen again
it was too sad last time i wasn't gonna kill him i was just gonna you know kick his ass yeah
well you never know you you always not been a good estimation of your strength so we just met
me and you yeah i thought we were old friends no it just met tonight it was our first job together
i didn't realize it did you think you knew me from somewhere well i mean i knew a pirate one time and
they're all the same and a red fro cot i mean red fro coat no that did not it doesn't the coat's not
important listen sorry we woke you up kid or whatever we did uh let's just agree to pretend
neither of us knew that we are here you can stay up and uh eat cookies or whatever these kids like to
do and uh you know what we're just going to keep doing our security on it and uh you know have a nice
day that was a good review review and you can tell that he's thinking about it because the guards are
coming up behind you the next nearest staircase is past this kid on the other side of the common room
so uh he's looking at the three of you and he doesn't really see you as much of a threat you
unless you want to help us if you want to go on a little adventure this game sounds a lot like
when the if the guards come in here and check it out tell them that you didn't see anything
rush into the stairwell um that goes down back down it also goes up to the third floor and uh
as you guys get behind the door the guards come up and they look at the poor little kid and they're like
templeton again really and he kind of looks all sad and he's got these big eyes and his glasses and
they start welling up with tears and the guards you know they're just big old softies templeton is
templeton did you did you see anything there the downstairs door was open and he goes i was just
letting the cat in and they're like templeton you you gotta lock the door buddy you know it's only us and
dav upstairs you can't you can't be doing this bud just you know i know the kids bully you and they
call you pissy templeton pissy pritchard dicky i know they call you that but just just go back to
bed buddy and uh they turn around and they head back down the stairs they're not completely out of the
house yet but for the moment you guys are safe as long as uh templeton pritchard templeton doesn't
i didn't even notice he had a wedgie while we were talking to him he's a level two uh wuss right
level one on his pants well we can't all have let's let's go down the stairs and try to find the
basement wait hold on no no no we are going to beat up those other kids why because we made a promise
to a child yes to templeton pissy templeton yeah pissy templeton we've all been there yeah the one with
the glasses you never you never pissed your pants not out of fear well we that wasn't clear that he
he was pissing his pants out of fear he could be pissing his pants so he can hear us oh my god did he
i would love to make some children pee their pants i got an idea what this guy looks like i'm gonna
i think we must all the kids screaming that's gonna draw the guards up yeah but they're gonna
what what's your idea pirate and i pull out a bottle from my sash and can i pull out can i pull out
of pritchard he's so cute oh my god he looks like he looks like a little nerdy henry the eighth
dude he looks exactly like if they if south park turn that picture that's exactly what that one turned into
he opens up this uh what do you want to describe the uh spirit bottle it looks like a bottle with a cork in it
and it's uh kind of dirty but it's also blue and uh you know kind of looks like it could contain alcohol but
i mean i'm alive but i'm not a ghost but i collect ghosts and this is one of them his name's neelix
i don't know i just started doing things and then they start calling me that i was lucky to get away with that
for some reason that's where we're at in our pathetic lives right now and i need you to go scare these children
let's go ahead and throw your command roll and then you have a special ability which gives you an extra command with ghosts
floats just kind of slowly back to the hallway and into the door and you hear the giggling that's kind
me like uh neelix kind of floats all the way back to the bottle just kind of the same blank
i shan't be but they don't know that it was we need to make it we need to make uh templeton seem
that was all we were told to do i'm not making this i'm not breaking miracles here i'm scaring
ah i just they're not going to have any reason they're not going to know why they were scared
they need to know that it was templeton's doing i don't want uh why we've already made the deal
fine i was i was with the other i was with the tooth man about going right down to the basement
then with your one favorite sir i shan't be bothered again this evening i suspect and as he does that he
oh wait this is my whiskey bottle i imagine him getting back into the jar as if it were a tight pair of pants
and it's just absolutely beaming like oh that was so cool you guys are neat uh where'd your other friend go
he's afraid of children and ghosts this has not been his night turns out that's the first two things we ran into
well uh yeah so the chest is uh it's it's in the basement uh there's a demon down there you gotta go
through a shrine to get in there but uh yeah what do you guys do you guys uh do you need a hand you need a
scimitar uh no i don't need a scimitar it's useless against demons but is there any other like do you
i gotta pee my pants i don't pee my pants i'm not a bedwatter and as he like goes into the room you kind
of hear the door slam behind him but you also hear this you know there was a giant scream and so now the
guards are kind of not running but they are coming back up the stairs kind of like okay what the
quick quick uh chuckles let's go follow follow squish all right uh i want to look for like a
door down to the basement all right so you guys get down back to the first level uh so this time you're
on the other side of the great hall so instead of like there's a library um immediately in front of
um there are you see there's just one side is like the entryway the back out to the street and
then there are four rooms in the corners that you have not explored yet one of which is the library
one of the corner yeah so the ones in the corner are the rooms you haven't explored yet andy threw
the vase out of the uh the smoking room door or window and then there is a common room that you guys have
okay i'll check out one of the uh corner rooms which one you can uh pick out there's uh four i'm gonna do the
one of the one in the top right the top right yes okay so uh go ahead and go in there and uh
i go in there do you want to do a study or do you want to just kind of blankly see what you see
so three because i don't have any so when you get into the the room you can see that it's very
decrepit um hold on i'm pulling it up for you okay tokens token vision it's just gray and mine even
i got something though you see it yeah do you see tiger did you zoom out uh maybe i gotta zoom out
further no it's everything's gray oh we got a picture it's like a crappy room there's like a one chair in
i reloaded and it it came up all right let me try really quickly yeah so you enter the room and you
can just see that it's a very large decrepit room um at some point um you can tell that there was uh like
a large piece of furniture in the center but now that's missing um but when you walk in there you feel this kind of like
overwhelming it's spookiness just general discomfort you realize it's the ghost field uh this field of magnetism with ghosts and whatnot that kind of surrounds you it's very much active in this room uh you can kind of smell like electrical socket you know that metallic sort of smell
uh and uh given that you don't like uh ghosts it gives you a hella spooky feeling so go ahead you're
gonna take uh you you didn't take any stress right no that would be my first one uh go ahead and take
andy did you move your camera i forgot i didn't even notice so this now yeah i got a new desk oh cool
see see see in the room as well that there's a there's a door a second door all right should i i guess i'll invite these guys in
something smells metallic and spooky in here smells like ghost that's the ghosts they make a very fine smell we
whispers know that very well well can you whisper to them no can can you get rid of the smell
to the ghost me or them i'm not well i'm not ghost whispers you can attune to it what does that
what does that mean though if you would turn to the ghost field it allows you to see the ghost field
uh a lot clearer than everybody else um it also allows you to um you know kind of see what happened
in this room or you know things like that all right i'll i'll attune i got nothing better to do
and i got double attune okay and then do you want to use any of your like upgrades or anything i know
anything else nope do i need to do i need to use that to save it i'll just use the attune okay
so you uh as you attune into the room uh what you see ahead of you is a little shocking so where
there used to be something in the room some heavy piece of furniture you realize used to be like a
a small pyramid like structure not like a big one that goes up to the ceiling but more like table height
and on top of it uh you can see that there's like blood and some sort of like gross objects
floating down off of it you realize it was like a sacrificial uh pyramid um the uh smell that you
smell is the residual residue of all the ghosts and people that have died in here um you can see uh with your ghost vision
this is kind of disturbing to you and uh kind of shocking uh so you're gonna go ahead and take level one harm
then i suggest we get the fuck out of here and i go towards the door the door that you came in
wanting to get away from that obviously a cursed room i i start walking towards it very or down the
hallway very fast we better catch up to that he's he's i've seen that that man getting out of
not scared though are you oh i mean no no i'm not it's a little nerve-wracking i you know i don't
ignorance is bliss boy remember that and i turn away kind of like walking away like i gave some
you're in a basement structure um so the hallway continues down in front of you there's several
that's got kind of uh glass on the uh on one side of it and if you look into it you can kind of see
something inside um some kind of like metallic objects and some sort of like you can't really
tell because it's dark on the inside um there's also two rooms down at the end um that are currently
dark as well so somehow we got into the basement so the the um stairs in the uh the demon room you
