Episodes 6 and 7 - Cethic

yep my recording is not started it's also later for the two of us correct mark mark now we're just really bad at keeping a rhythm you you my pleasure you oh you uh uh you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you yes um basically my plan is to wake up after my four-hour trance that is the elf racial trait uh and at the very least i can join sauron uh you know give him some aid in watching out for any threats you i feel like it's slightly different let me take a look at the description meditate semi-consciously so um i feel like i'm a little bit easier to wake than someone who's in a deep sleep but uh hey yeah yeah i think that's the case you you you you you you can she leave quietly enough to get past my high passive perception half of it would still be eight you to me you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you does that mean i got a long rest okay just gonna note that because that affects my hp i'm gonna swing down from the rafters where i was doing my trance in um obviously quietly not to disturb other people uh and a song's just coming in from the outside i'm going to it smells like tobacco yeah yeah of course well you see anything and you didn't try to stop her you you you know what we're dealing with right it can affect people's minds you you've been living in this town for years didn't your dad teach you anything wake everyone up now now wolf just walked into the forest alone we need we need to go now it's it's our only option yeah just came from then we go that way and see if we can pick up tracks cathic's in the lead of course you you you you of course there's something nearby lord wolf out here and probably lord wolf out so that you can lower the rest of us out it's not stupid but we can't just leave her alone you i mean i can go ahead of everyone i'm faster i can i can track i can hide you god you you you you you i'm still tracking her that's mm-hmm you or it's moving away from us you i mean it's already gotten involved can i look for any specific tracks like we're just going on a hunch and you know general direction but can i find any tracks from wolf you 15 with disadvantage no but i have dark vision so yeah you uh-huh oh let's just keep going can we pick up the pace if it seems like it's leaving us or moving away we should we should move faster right mm-hmm yeah that's that's the goal move faster to get there mm-hmm you any chance i see a wolf among the the bodies uh that's also a 15 god i guess fan out search all we can do right this is where the massacre happened this is the only tracks we found i'm going to do something a little bit bold and i have a uh a hooded lantern and so the deal with the hooded lantern is it kind of projects a beam of light more like a modern flashlight than a you know area of light uh and i want to just use that beam to to get a look at every single like mass every shape on the ground use that to aid in identifying you you you you you you you you you you you you you you yes i'll go take a look at what dust is pointing at okay uh yeah if that leads to any sort of trail you okay you you you you you you you you you can kathak attempt to uh he's got the hooded lantern can kathak attempt to flash the eyes of this creature of the dark you saharan run you you you you is that light stick around okay you you you you you you you you you from the creature or from the bloodstain yeah uh kathak definitely focuses on the bloodstain okay yeah or anyone want to help give me advantage yeah uh it's a 19 with advantage if i'm being helped in a direction or so that's the direction i go okay you you you you you you you you you you you you oh okay um let's just keep moving you don't need to make promises right now you you you you you you you you it's the cave we were told about it's it's got to be in there i don't know if we all should i think we should just wait for beholder to come back i mean i'm yeah he's back you yeah you you you you you you you it's the cave we were told about it's it's it's home it's lair must be where wolf is i i can possibly go in alone i can be quiet i can be quick but if and also if wolf is down i can't help her you you you you yeah okay okay you you kethic is definitely going and he's gonna have to hood on his cloak up oh any ally within 30 feet right you you you you you you yeah kethic's going kethic's got point you 29 for kethic you sorry 31 for kethic math wrong you oh bloody hell you you kethic definitely wants to and if someone wants to help him that'd be nice okay you uh that is a 24 yeah you okay now dust is the person i know who deals with that kind of thing so i'm going to again with that 31 stealth get over some dust point him in the right direction you now that that makes sense maybe maybe i should maybe i should bring her to us you you okay follow my lead then okay you you you you okay you okay yeah i want to uh quietly step towards wolf but while doing so keep an eye out for anything from like intentional trip wires to also like you know bones that might get stepped on and make loud cracking noises oh you you you kethic's perception was 22 you you you quick get her dust quick get get her you but the light stones are all covered okay yeah kethic is leading straight to wolf uh just do one last check around wolves if anything looks out of the ordinary you know on her body or right adjacent to it okay get her up okay you you you yeah you kethic got 14 you it's kethic say the line you dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind and quick close my eyes hold for a moment and the moment's gone i don't know i just googled the lyrics to dust in the wind and for some reason google gave them to me in spanish why i studied arabic in school but i didn't grow up in a spanish-speaking area and so my mom is fluent and then her two kids me and my sister are not with no one because my dad's very very white i'm not sure what i'm talking about i'm not sure what i'm talking about i'm not sure what i'm talking about can my wife find out her you you're all weak you all failed your constitution saves you oh it's just in the wind dust in the wind same old song just a drop of water in an endless sea all we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky it slips away dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind dust in the wind all we are is dust oh yeah you know i was in a choir for like six years that's infuriating to me that our characters are so young so my catholic voice is so high when it's like i'd really love to talk down here and this be my character voice but no i gotta play a kid yeah you oh i'm sorry this just earlier today i was mistaken as a 30 year old it's like i'm 24 you yeah i mean you last summer i got carded twice like by the same person they wanted to check my id twice because they weren't sure the first time uh when buying a lotto ticket for my mom it's like you have to be 17 for that to be illegal i'm 23 that's i was 23 at the time and i come in yeah i'm using this voice you know my natural speaking voice which is like a g2 or something like come on it's like what the hell like i've got facial hair that is not ridiculously patchy i sound like this and i showed you an id that very clearly demonstrates that i'm older than 21 and you think i look 17 what well editing this one's gonna be fun so you yeah oh man is there a point where it's just bad enough where i like scrap the whole session try it again later hmm the dogs the dogs of war you that's okay you yeah i can imagine it's really frustrating dust can you hear any of us i guess not no that's how you talk to the women in your life oh you're like my friend oh are you just gluten intolerant or is there anything else yeah my my sister has the worst allergy i've ever heard of it's uh she's she's allergic to grain so not just gluten but like all pretty much pretty much every you know gluten substitute she's like oh yeah you know i can't have rice can't have rice or corn like what no oh yeah uh she does eat a lot of meat though she's allergic to pork which i mean fair and like other than bacon i find most pork products pretty gross anyway yeah actually no when typically what it gives you is trichinosis yeah uh it sounds like a slur trichinosis well or just think of paganosis you know there you go no dust is still struggling nope he yeah he briefly got on and then typed in the chat and then dc'd again oh speak boy speak i feel like streaming might be a bit ambitious right now yes wow guess who's back wow wow so you so so so so so oh we were told it was weaker in its layer so uh so so so so so so so so so when you say black light i'm sorry go ahead register not like uv okay okay okay oh what'd that mouth do so so so except for the wolf features that's still fuzzy so so so so so so so so so so so yeah uh so you said the creature is still up close to boron okay well that makes this easy uh catholic's going to shoot at it with this longbow okay that is i believe a 16 to hit yes yes 16 okay and i get sneak attack because it's within five feet of my ally uh that is five plus four uh nine points of piercing damage uh and then i'd like to now move away from where uh wolf and beholder are and see if i can find a place to hide yeah yeah because my bonus action is going to be to hide and so oh yes i get advantage because of the hood uh that is uh 26 oh and i'm still in range of boron's pass without trace right so it's a 36 to hide oh yeah make concentration okay so it's a 36 stealth check so so so so so so so so so so so so didn't you so well didn't boron do a crimson ray oh i thought oh it depends on what it is okay okay so so so it's what the people with dark vision have that get to see lost so and so so um so so so so so so um so so so kethick's doing the double tap and kethick's just firing an arrow at it so so so yeah well yeah yeah well while the holder does his thing so so so kethick right now is uh probably wanting to attend to wolf if anything kethick wolf so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so console so so so so so i think kethick wants to look for the scar just actually check you know some some better eyes than this very scared kid scared kids not at all yeah so he's not an angel so so so any chance there's either a whole tooth or a whole claw that can be salvaged so would you like some help with that buddy look him over yeah uh oh okay i mean i yeah i'll let you do your advantage i rolled on myself as well mine was a 19 on the die plus six so so so so so so so so so so should we go back to tom at least there's there's another higher ranking member of the shadow people there you can tell us what to do next or take us somewhere even so yay nice so i hate to be that guy but there were lots of remains in here right so is there anything useful valuable even uh that is 17 plus six so 23 just bones yeah it's just bones can't even take anything back to show what we've done so so you might want to talk to that kid of yours so so so so so so so maybe you should have more faith maybe you should have more faith in your boy than whatever's speaking to you so so so so and don't you forget it so so so yeah so okay so got more than one i'll slip it to him i'll quiet back just to prove that i can so so so so so yeah and and the dagger is already in your inventory you just didn't realize so so so what are you doing there uh i got some sort of symbolic reasoning so see i'll uh i'll keep that in mind yeah so sorry what we wake up what ah okay oh i get to finally get my subclass oh so uh do you want us to roll hit points while we're recording okay was it for rogues at d8 level three manage hp yeah so another da let's find one of those oh it's a seven yes okay rubbish archetype choose an option oh um i think uh you need to unlock the inquisitive on dnd beyond for the campaign um means you might not have the source book okay well that's from xanathar's guide i have xanathar's guide but not on dnd beyond i might do that because like my stats are definitely aimed at specifically playing an inquisitive rogue that would be really bad at playing pretty much any other role yeah let me um go pull up my copy of xanathar's guide so what about our uh shadow people general and the guy that was revived can i at least talk to the general look we're moving on again we have no guidance well you just seem to be the highest ranking what on earth are we even supposed to be doing oh if we find any remnant is there anything we should say to them what's has there a system for recovery so so so we're just aimless does that mean all the rules are off as well well that makes things slightly easier tell me can can you tell me one thing why why all the secrets why everything's hidden why why are you in this secret war so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so there's no middle ground to be had there's no everyone deserves to have magic so that magic isn't lorded over others there's no way to incorporate magic into making society better this is really the the only way the world can be chaos or hidden order with threats of violence on either side so so so so yeah so so there are people who studied to this ancient war so yeah so so so that's your belief that we are always doomed to live out the sins of our fathers i understand well we have no guide no light seems like uh any mentorship we might have received at the academy is gone is there at least some advice that you can give some some pointers to help keep us safe so what if i just want to side with the civilians yeah there is no such thing as a neutral party so all right i'll let them make those choices you're not coming with us and we're about to set off i wish you a general sense of recovery take care of the other kid who was hurt too he's just as aimless as us now if you want to do good in this world maybe you could help him mm-hmm so you here yes yeah you well sir yes wherever our sense of duty takes us in the future i'd like you to know my name and i'd like you to memorize my face so whatever side we end up on you know that i chose what was right my name is Kethic Yedlin and i'd like to know yours too because we are not enemies right now but i don't know what the world's got for me you all right we gotta start moving on take care of the take care of the wounded you Kethic's gonna join up with the rest of you guess we got a got a hike ahead of us you too as well you you all right i'm ending my recording
