EP 7 - "Veridian Bound"

[00:00:01] After successfully completing their mission to apprehend one of the Viper's, Corvac Hist, the party of Kel Finn, Sorako, Arnor, Kai and Brad

[00:00:12] Had an afternoon to themselves to rest and recuperate after they're trying few days out in the field

[00:00:19] Before meeting with the company's head, Hector Gomont

[00:00:23] Where their goal was reiterated to capture and bring back the missing Viper's of Ironwood

[00:00:31] However, Hector also reveals that this wouldn't be a conventional mission

[00:00:35] And that they would be some of the few lucky enough to travel across the wide open motion

[00:00:42] To the mostly unexplored continent of Veridian

[00:00:45] And that they'd be leaving, come morning

[00:00:48] We'll pick up right where we left off in the dining hall

[00:00:51] After Hector has said that you'll be going to this new world

[00:00:55] Well, I say this is incredible news

[00:01:00] Arnor, you say Veridian is a place for brigands and criminals

[00:01:05] People are trying to escape this world

[00:01:08] I say it's a wonderful opportunity to go to some really good things

[00:01:15] Good opportunity for everybody here

[00:01:17] Not just me, not just how Skastela, everybody

[00:01:21] Brad, I assure you, a very, very good in Veridian

[00:01:26] Many people need help, need medical help

[00:01:30] And Finn, you are renowned engineer

[00:01:33] So, so many people need renowned engineer and Veridian

[00:01:37] I think is a good idea

[00:01:38] Cirako speaks the truth of course

[00:01:41] You all have time, afforded to you to pursue your own

[00:01:46] Let's call it enlightenment

[00:01:49] But the mission takes priority

[00:01:51] Find the Viper's and bring them home

[00:01:54] These are brothers and sisters and arms

[00:01:57] But as I said, exercise caution

[00:02:00] I will prolong the assignment of your current handler, Eres Alcar

[00:02:05] Extended into this new field

[00:02:08] She will oversee your operations from one of the company's forts on Veridian

[00:02:14] A little bit of a primer though

[00:02:16] Veridian, like I said, is mostly untamed wilderness

[00:02:20] The compact has a good little slice of itself out there

[00:02:24] But others have tried and failed to settle these other biomes

[00:02:29] Including ourselves

[00:02:30] There is a fort in an area known as the Reach that belongs to the ironwood company

[00:02:36] However, to see it's a bit of a fixer up or would be putting it lightly

[00:02:40] So, I will give you all a choice of where you wish to embark to

[00:02:45] And I will inform the captain have everything assembled and set ready for the morning journey

[00:02:50] You have three options here

[00:02:52] You can go to the northern city in the compact territory of Port Desolais

[00:02:57] I'd say it's mostly a reflection of the human nations

[00:03:01] Though there is of course a large kid in the same population

[00:03:04] Or down south, still within compact territory, to aid in silk

[00:03:09] That is run almost exclusively by the Elfkina sentency

[00:03:13] With some consultation have a leave by the confederation

[00:03:17] Though, y'all are welcome there

[00:03:19] No worries, our compact members are

[00:03:21] Should you have the authorization and of course working under our banner you do

[00:03:26] And last but not least like I said, is our own fort located outside compact territory in the northern Reach

[00:03:34] If you decide to go there, I'll send you along with enough provisions and stock to get you going for months

[00:03:39] No worries there

[00:03:41] And there'll be personnel accompanying you to make sure it stays in tip-top shape

[00:03:45] And we'll find off anything that might come your way

[00:03:48] Where do you think the Viper's might go on?

[00:03:51] Well, we don't know right now

[00:03:53] We just know that they went too Viridian

[00:03:55] The plan was to get carvac to divulge that information

[00:04:00] However, that may be more complicated now as our time table has moved up

[00:04:06] And unfortunately the questioning will have to wait

[00:04:09] Well, we'll still bring him here and I'll send after you all with anything comes up

[00:04:14] By right now, it's just imperative that we get your boots on the ground on Viridian

[00:04:19] Well, if it's all the same to everyone, I wouldn't mind go into our strong front

[00:04:23] The last one that you mentioned with provisions

[00:04:25] Doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me

[00:04:28] However, if this group were to go to Viridian, hoping to achieve something new and great

[00:04:37] I imagine they would also have to enter through one of these larger, more established settlements

[00:04:43] Gather their own numbers, supplies, whatever it may be

[00:04:48] Who knows perhaps we could learn something

[00:04:50] They people who have seen them coming through town

[00:04:52] It's possible, but these are the Viper's

[00:04:55] I would assume that they have covered that tracks quite well

[00:04:58] I do not think it will be any catch-on of the street that would be able to identify the Viper

[00:05:05] You understand what I say?

[00:05:07] Yes, but perhaps anything out of the ordinary abnormal happenings and such

[00:05:14] But I do hear what you are saying

[00:05:15] I likely would not choose to go through a largely populated area myself

[00:05:20] Regardless, I do not think it matters too much

[00:05:23] We start, I imagine we will hit all three locations eventually

[00:05:27] I and nodding towards Cal

[00:05:30] Also think the Ironwood Outpost would be a good place to start

[00:05:35] And what about the Southern Compa territory?

[00:05:39] Now if it were me, I would go through a crowded place

[00:05:42] I'd be just a place I would want to go to go undetected

[00:05:46] I'm on a sea of people

[00:05:47] And of course, it might be some friendly faces

[00:05:50] I'd like to know being Elk in and everything

[00:05:53] I don't much care where we go

[00:05:54] Sounds like we get there

[00:05:56] Sounds like a me, a bread, a fin, we are vote for Cal's idea

[00:06:02] We go at Cal's say, is for to to, for vote is settled

[00:06:08] I love with Soraco just states what everyone else just did

[00:06:11] We all voted for that, yes, we did

[00:06:13] Absolutely, I understand

[00:06:15] And say a single thing

[00:06:16] I know, but remember Soraco is our Norse best friend

[00:06:20] So Soraco knows what our Norse is going to say just intrinsically

[00:06:23] You don't have to tell me, I tell you

[00:06:26] Exactly

[00:06:27] The Ironwood Compa Fourth was going to be my suggestion as well

[00:06:32] A base of operations would do as well

[00:06:34] And I imagine if they are less than likely to return home

[00:06:38] We need a place to hold them

[00:06:40] True enough my boy, true enough

[00:06:42] Is it settled then?

[00:06:43] Yes, a five to one settled

[00:06:48] But nowhere in Lady Kai we go to your place next

[00:06:51] Nobody vote for the other one

[00:06:53] I don't even remember the other one

[00:06:56] But I'm a list then it settled

[00:06:58] You all are excused for that

[00:07:00] Rest up, you'll go first thing in the morning

[00:07:03] See you in the reach

[00:07:04] And he will stay sitting and wait for you all to leave

[00:07:08] Class is my house

[00:07:12] Finn is hot off the gun to jump up

[00:07:16] Not really jump, but he politely excuses himself

[00:07:18] He's the only upside of his seat

[00:07:21] Oh my grandpa Joe getting his legs to go to the chocolate fair

[00:07:26] Free hand me

[00:07:30] Grandpa Joe, the real villain of the movie

[00:07:32] He really is truly

[00:07:33] He gives a polite bow to Hector, nod, Warsaw

[00:07:38] And excuses himself from the sails of the new Alexis room

[00:07:41] With Finn's departure everyone else then is ushered uncomfortably out of the room

[00:07:45] By Hector's smile and stare

[00:07:48] And you find yourselves all back in your quarters that evening

[00:07:51] Bread will go and knock on our nor and Kai's doors

[00:07:55] To see if they are willing to have the rest of their wounds treated before they leave tomorrow morning

[00:08:01] You hear a lot of shuffling and a lot of noises coming from Kai's room

[00:08:05] And as soon as you do the wraps at the door everything goes still

[00:08:10] She silently takes some foot steps towards the door and opens it

[00:08:15] And we'll say, yes sorry just doing some afternoon stretches

[00:08:19] It's like 9 PO

[00:08:21] Yeah

[00:08:23] So I just need my evening stretches

[00:08:26] You know, gotta keep limba

[00:08:28] Sure

[00:08:29] I know you're still injured from the last mission

[00:08:32] I'm happy to do something about that if you're willing

[00:08:34] And her face kind of lights up at this and she'll say, oh I would absolutely adore that

[00:08:41] Thank you so much, I must be such a sacrifice for you

[00:08:47] You make it very difficult Kai, I'm not gonna lie to you

[00:08:52] I'm sorry, don't know, in Maine

[00:08:54] Then I'm not gonna explain myself

[00:08:56] He will gesture for her to follow him

[00:08:59] Feeling that it's probably better to do this in the infirmary than literally anywhere else

[00:09:04] And then knock on Ornor's door as he goes by

[00:09:06] What could I do for you?

[00:09:08] I figured I could finish with your treatment if you want

[00:09:11] Very kind, bread

[00:09:13] I suppose like coming along not to share with that one about what's fine

[00:09:18] Hitting down to the infirmary

[00:09:19] There's enough stock and supply and you are allowed the lay of the land

[00:09:22] Really two tree both of them

[00:09:24] These will be two easy medicine checks

[00:09:27] So that's just one difficulty

[00:09:29] Ornor gets to go first this time

[00:09:33] One success to advantage

[00:09:35] And then we'll do Kai

[00:09:37] Three success and five advantage

[00:09:40] So Ornor is completely healed and Kai has two wounds left

[00:09:43] After they're done he will nod for them to go

[00:09:46] So they don't have to hang around while he treats himself

[00:09:49] And then he's gonna do

[00:09:52] So McCurrey B garbage

[00:09:55] Okay

[00:09:56] Yeah, I'm gonna do heroin by myself

[00:09:59] And this is a normal loan

[00:10:01] Ornor and Kai follow your orders

[00:10:03] You know, thanking you and then leaving

[00:10:05] Leaving you alone in the infirmary for you to treat yourself

[00:10:08] Okay

[00:10:09] I can't count all of this in five success one advantage

[00:10:14] With that you are completely healed of all your wounds

[00:10:17] And any strain you had as well

[00:10:19] Okay, sitting for a moment quietly

[00:10:22] Thinking about going to Viridian tomorrow

[00:10:25] Bread will leave the infirmary and head

[00:10:29] Either to like where food is stored or somewhere he might find a rat

[00:10:34] You delve into one of the sellers and ladders beneath the keep

[00:10:41] And you're able to find a rat and corner it

[00:10:45] Yeah

[00:10:47] Using I mean the dagger that he carries on him

[00:10:49] The like one weapon that he has

[00:10:51] He will kill the rat as quickly as he can

[00:10:54] Attempting to be humane about it

[00:10:57] And then I would like to activate my special power

[00:11:00] And sort of just consult the powers that be

[00:11:03] About whether or not I should be going to Viridian

[00:11:06] If that makes sense like is this ill-oamine or not

[00:11:10] Oh, so what do you ask what do you say?

[00:11:16] Honestly I think the question that he asks is

[00:11:19] What is in Viridian for me?

[00:11:22] You receive only emotions

[00:11:24] Vague impressions with where your skill is currently

[00:11:27] But it's ecstatic

[00:11:29] It's excited, it's hopeful

[00:11:32] But it's a little weird

[00:11:35] There's a weird tinge to it all

[00:11:38] Like there's this feeling of underlying dread

[00:11:41] But that's somehow welcome

[00:11:43] Okay

[00:11:44] And right before this sort of fades

[00:11:47] There's an even stranger sensation

[00:11:50] That I'm actually going to make you roll for to see if you pick up on

[00:11:54] Okay

[00:11:54] Why don't you do for me a

[00:11:57] For difficulty cool check

[00:12:00] One success, two threat

[00:12:01] With that result

[00:12:03] You do get a glimpse of this emotion

[00:12:07] This fleeting emotion that has been kind of transcribed to you

[00:12:11] From this interaction with whatever void-born entity

[00:12:15] You've communed with

[00:12:16] Through offering this soul of a dead rat

[00:12:19] It's a good band name

[00:12:22] This is all of a dead rat

[00:12:25] And it is more of this dread

[00:12:28] Than this ecstasy mixed together

[00:12:30] But it's dangerous

[00:12:32] As in it welcomes misfortune

[00:12:35] And that's all I'm going to say

[00:12:38] Okay

[00:12:38] I imagine coming out of this

[00:12:40] Trans a little bit and like shaking out both of his arms

[00:12:44] He'll clear his head and then nod at the rat

[00:12:46] It does not nod back

[00:12:49] That let me be clear

[00:12:51] That rat is dead

[00:12:54] Even if it was alive wouldn't it have not effect

[00:12:58] And feeling like he very much deserves

[00:13:01] To be put in that position of danger

[00:13:05] He will go back to his room

[00:13:07] And study corvac stasy-a

[00:13:10] Or for going to sleep

[00:13:11] All right

[00:13:12] Sarako is going to head over

[00:13:15] Is Kel in her quarters?

[00:13:17] Yeah, she would be in her quarters by now

[00:13:19] Okay

[00:13:19] Sarako is going to go over

[00:13:21] And knock on the door

[00:13:24] Give a little couple of wraps

[00:13:25] Kel who has been sitting outside for the long part

[00:13:29] Probably either in her window sill

[00:13:31] Or up on the roof somewhere

[00:13:33] Probably hears this

[00:13:34] And you from outside probably hear the thump of her coming back into the room

[00:13:39] Before she strides to the door and opens it

[00:13:42] With a kind of questioning look on her face

[00:13:44] Is like what else could this be about?

[00:13:46] Like, hasn't so much happened today kind of thing

[00:13:49] But she kind of relaxes when she sees

[00:13:50] It's just like one of you guys essentially

[00:13:52] And not another summons or something

[00:13:54] Lady Kel, good evening

[00:13:57] And he flashes her a little smile

[00:13:59] May I talk with you about something?

[00:14:03] Sure

[00:14:04] Okay, is nothing bad?

[00:14:07] I assure you

[00:14:08] I just have a question in my mind

[00:14:11] Perhaps it's better

[00:14:12] We talk inside the room and close the door

[00:14:15] Imprive it

[00:14:17] Noting bad

[00:14:19] I want you to know that Kel is just looking at you so distrustingly

[00:14:22] But she steps back and like back in

[00:14:26] You and Evan will just very quietly close the door behind you

[00:14:30] And in her hand she's still holding

[00:14:33] The dossier like she just came straight from outside

[00:14:35] Came to the door and opened it as if this was going to be a quick conversation

[00:14:38] And she's clearly been reading it for the past while

[00:14:43] Before you came up to the room

[00:14:45] What's this about?

[00:14:47] Well, first

[00:14:49] Okay

[00:14:49] I have a question for you

[00:14:51] But first question for you

[00:14:53] Take a look at this

[00:14:55] Tell me what you make of this one

[00:14:57] And he will hand over the dossier for Morgan

[00:15:02] Hmm

[00:15:03] Kel's going to take it from you and start reading it

[00:15:06] And just kind of look at whatever information she can glean from it

[00:15:10] And then she'll kind of close it and hand it back to you and say

[00:15:13] I think if anyone's going to give us trouble

[00:15:14] It's going to be him or Wilson

[00:15:15] I'll tell you that much

[00:15:17] Why are you asking?

[00:15:18] Your conversation with Corvette earlier

[00:15:22] I find it very interesting

[00:15:24] You say a good side who is a worthy of death

[00:15:29] Who is not

[00:15:30] And you are a mass assuel

[00:15:33] Like a master of death

[00:15:37] Maybe in a way, I guess

[00:15:39] I suppose wouldn't we all be there?

[00:15:42] It's our job

[00:15:43] Well, eh

[00:15:44] Maybe I do not make myself very clear

[00:15:46] Everybody here is a mercenary

[00:15:49] We all have the things we are good at

[00:15:53] But for instance, bread is very good at healing people

[00:15:57] Our nose is very good at protecting people

[00:16:01] Fins very good at making things

[00:16:05] And Kai is very good at talking down her nose that people

[00:16:12] But you and me, we are good at something

[00:16:17] But perhaps more violent

[00:16:21] And I think I get the feeling from you

[00:16:25] That you are more proficient in this area

[00:16:29] Than even I am

[00:16:30] So I am just curious to know

[00:16:33] Where do you draw the line?

[00:16:36] When is somebody guilty enough to be killed?

[00:16:40] Tell's going to kind of take a moment and think that over

[00:16:44] And she is quiet

[00:16:45] She is not looking at you

[00:16:46] Not really looking at anything

[00:16:48] Her eyes are unfocused and distant

[00:16:50] And she is thinking about her past and her life

[00:16:53] And things that none of you guys would understand

[00:16:55] And trying to parse out what this answer is

[00:16:58] Because she is never thought of this before

[00:17:00] And she will say after a few minutes of

[00:17:03] Quiet and of thinking

[00:17:04] I don't know

[00:17:06] I don't know that I have ever had to think about that before

[00:17:11] In this line of work in what we do

[00:17:14] Corbac was right

[00:17:16] We are told where to swing our swords

[00:17:18] We get paid and we go home

[00:17:20] And eventually one day

[00:17:22] I am going to miss

[00:17:23] And someone is going to hit me instead

[00:17:25] And that will be it

[00:17:27] Or someone will hit you

[00:17:28] Or someone will hit Finn

[00:17:30] Or bread

[00:17:30] Or Kai

[00:17:31] Or Arnor

[00:17:32] And it will be it

[00:17:34] And I think

[00:17:35] I've spent so much time

[00:17:37] With death

[00:17:38] That I feel

[00:17:40] That I am connected to it

[00:17:42] In a way

[00:17:43] I'm not sure if that makes sense to you

[00:17:45] Or to me even

[00:17:46] But death is just kind of

[00:17:48] What happens for the most part

[00:17:51] Whether I swing the sword or not

[00:17:53] The person in front of me will die

[00:17:55] I'm just

[00:17:56] Expeading the process a little bit

[00:17:59] And

[00:17:59] If I think about it for too long

[00:18:02] Maybe it's not fair

[00:18:04] That I get to decide

[00:18:05] Or that hector gets to decide

[00:18:07] Or that heor is gets to decide

[00:18:09] Or you decide

[00:18:11] But it's easier not to think about it

[00:18:14] So sometimes I don't

[00:18:15] But what I told Corbac was true

[00:18:18] At the end of the day

[00:18:19] We all die

[00:18:21] And there are some people that

[00:18:22] Feel high and mighty enough to get to decide

[00:18:25] And the thing about what I do is

[00:18:26] I don't really decide

[00:18:28] I just take the orders from the people who do

[00:18:31] Maybe that makes me worse

[00:18:32] But it's easier on my conscience to know that

[00:18:35] I wouldn't be doing it if someone wasn't telling me too

[00:18:39] So the echo who had been

[00:18:41] Looking around the room

[00:18:43] Nothing in particular

[00:18:44] But it wasn't really making eye contact with you

[00:18:47] While you were doing that

[00:18:48] It just takes in this information

[00:18:50] And without looking at you

[00:18:53] He asks

[00:18:55] Are you a criminal

[00:18:58] What do you define as a criminal

[00:19:03] I think I am more interested to know

[00:19:06] What you define as a criminal

[00:19:07] I don't know if I have an answer for you

[00:19:10] One that's going to satisfy you

[00:19:12] But I mean, I guess from a

[00:19:16] Certain perspective

[00:19:16] I am. I kill people

[00:19:18] I've done it before

[00:19:20] I'll do it again

[00:19:21] Probably

[00:19:23] But here

[00:19:25] It's sanctioned

[00:19:26] I've done things before

[00:19:27] That I'm not proud of

[00:19:29] I'm older than I look, Seraco

[00:19:31] And I've been around a while

[00:19:33] Been around this whole damn country

[00:19:35] And yeah

[00:19:36] Yeah, I guess by some standards

[00:19:38] I'm probably a criminal

[00:19:40] I want to say that I try to do the right things

[00:19:42] Sometimes in that

[00:19:44] For the most part, I'm trying to be better

[00:19:46] We're trying to head to the good place

[00:19:48] Whatever that may be

[00:19:50] But yeah, I probably am

[00:19:53] Does that change your opinion of me?

[00:19:56] No, I was just the curious

[00:19:58] Like Al-Nor said

[00:20:00] Beridian is a land of criminal

[00:20:03] And like I said

[00:20:05] There are many opportunities in Beridian

[00:20:08] And with that, he's going to move to the door

[00:20:11] Open her up, close it behind him

[00:20:13] And you just hear his footsteps fade down the hall

[00:20:16] Arriving at his room

[00:20:18] Prior to everyone else

[00:20:20] Finn

[00:20:20] Throws back a large rug

[00:20:23] That covers the majority of his floor

[00:20:25] In peering at it

[00:20:26] He's just this like the walls

[00:20:29] And a malagamation of words, symbols, all sorts of things

[00:20:33] And he just has the largest grin on his face

[00:20:36] And he's muttering to himself

[00:20:38] Of course

[00:20:39] This is a line of course

[00:20:41] It had to be Viridian

[00:20:44] And he is just scribbling all over

[00:20:47] Continuing onto these marks

[00:20:49] Drawing additional lines

[00:20:51] And he gets up on his table

[00:20:53] Standing looking at it

[00:20:54] And as he's looking at it from this broader perspective

[00:20:57] All of the words, the symbols

[00:20:59] They morph into this

[00:21:02] Radially converging

[00:21:04] Mesh of lines

[00:21:05] And still smiling just looking at it

[00:21:08] He says

[00:21:09] The middlestrom

[00:21:11] Of course

[00:21:12] It has to be it

[00:21:14] Hosalinia

[00:21:15] Thank you for this

[00:21:17] And he slaps himself down on his bed

[00:21:20] Posed out his last little taste

[00:21:22] Of black sap

[00:21:24] Throws it on his tongue

[00:21:25] And as it dissolves on his tongue

[00:21:28] Bringing his mind

[00:21:31] Counterintuitively actually more to a state of reality

[00:21:33] All the markings on the walls begin to fade

[00:21:37] And as he takes his last blinks

[00:21:40] Falling asleep

[00:21:41] The room is bare

[00:21:43] No marks

[00:21:43] Just

[00:21:44] The bed, the table, the rug

[00:21:47] And he falls asleep

[00:21:50] What?

[00:21:53] Yes

[00:21:54] I can't wait

[00:21:55] How do I write this down in my notes?

[00:21:59] We're killing rats

[00:21:59] And having hallucinatory experience

[00:22:02] Yeah, like is he hallucinating or is this real?

[00:22:05] For most of not all of you

[00:22:07] It's a restless night

[00:22:08] Whether through excitement

[00:22:09] Or anticipation fear

[00:22:12] Perhaps who knows

[00:22:13] Who can say but yourselves

[00:22:15] But surely as morning arrives

[00:22:18] Interests and a whole cadre of portars

[00:22:23] Greachu

[00:22:23] Brighton early

[00:22:24] Before the sun has even risen

[00:22:26] You hear her voice in the hall

[00:22:29] All right

[00:22:29] It's time to go

[00:22:31] No delay

[00:22:32] Dallying, no waiting

[00:22:33] We've places to see

[00:22:35] People to kill

[00:22:37] As Finn exits

[00:22:38] His room

[00:22:39] He pulls off

[00:22:40] All of the devices that he had constructed as

[00:22:43] His locking mechanisms

[00:22:44] Tuck him into his satchel

[00:22:46] And

[00:22:46] He finds that

[00:22:47] Being the first one out

[00:22:50] He will raise an eyebrow

[00:22:52] At Finn

[00:22:55] And just a whisper of a smile on her lips

[00:22:58] As she looks at you and says

[00:22:59] So you're not coming back then

[00:23:02] I'll

[00:23:02] In our line of work

[00:23:03] You can never count on too many shorties

[00:23:06] And life

[00:23:06] Especially when it involves going to Veridian

[00:23:09] Of course not

[00:23:10] Everything I own

[00:23:12] Phineas

[00:23:12] You see

[00:23:13] Is on me

[00:23:14] So

[00:23:15] I can relate

[00:23:16] Where the others come come

[00:23:18] Chop chop

[00:23:18] Kelle's going to be the next one out of her room

[00:23:21] Good, finally

[00:23:22] Uh

[00:23:23] Could the rest of you hurry at up please

[00:23:26] The more you ask

[00:23:27] The more I want to stay in

[00:23:29] You say through the door

[00:23:33] The door

[00:23:33] At the door

[00:23:33] Very obviously like

[00:23:35] Present

[00:23:35] I have a question for Brett

[00:23:38] Is there anything different about Finn

[00:23:41] Having taken this

[00:23:44] Substance

[00:23:44] Like can we notice anything about him

[00:23:46] The amount that he took was minimal

[00:23:47] He does look awful

[00:23:49] Glief although

[00:23:51] Yeah, which is weird for him right

[00:23:53] Like I'm eye-clocking

[00:23:54] That there's like man

[00:23:56] He must have slept really well

[00:23:57] Or something like that

[00:23:59] He's got a radiance to him

[00:24:00] That is not normally there

[00:24:02] Responding to Brett through the door

[00:24:03] Eris just gives it a hard knock

[00:24:05] And says I will break it down

[00:24:07] If I have to

[00:24:08] Brett

[00:24:10] He laughs

[00:24:11] And opens it and says

[00:24:12] That's something I'd very much like to see

[00:24:14] But seems already ruined my chances of that

[00:24:17] She just gives you the most deadpan look

[00:24:19] And goes, no, you wouldn't

[00:24:22] And then she'll walk back to the head of the hallway

[00:24:24] He shakes his head

[00:24:26] There is nothing that he can do to make this woman like him

[00:24:28] So

[00:24:29] I don't know anybody

[00:24:32] Kai will pop out of her door

[00:24:33] Already and ready to go with all her gear

[00:24:36] And everything looking

[00:24:38] Prypher spare

[00:24:39] Or what is it?

[00:24:41] Yeah, whatever

[00:24:41] She looking good

[00:24:42] Anyway, so

[00:24:43] She ready to go

[00:24:45] And then she's going to say

[00:24:47] Here, Eris ready to go

[00:24:50] When you are

[00:24:51] Good, thank you Kai

[00:24:53] You can always count on L.C. and Pung toality

[00:24:56] And then she'll walk past

[00:24:58] And just deliver a hard knock on Terakos door

[00:25:02] Yes, yes

[00:25:03] I am ready

[00:25:04] And now

[00:25:06] And

[00:25:06] Terakos flings the door open

[00:25:08] And then in one hand

[00:25:10] He has his cape and he like

[00:25:12] Shope drapes it over one of his shoulders

[00:25:14] Pins it in place

[00:25:16] And then he takes a try-corn hat off the wall

[00:25:20] Put it on

[00:25:21] Rends his handle on the brim

[00:25:23] There's like a feather that's coming up

[00:25:25] Side

[00:25:26] Ready to travel

[00:25:28] Today, New World

[00:25:30] It would seem you are

[00:25:31] Now come hustle all of you

[00:25:33] I know I've been up for an hour already

[00:25:35] Helping me load the ship

[00:25:36] I was going to say where is our work

[00:25:37] Yes

[00:25:38] Shopping one

[00:25:39] He gets special treatment

[00:25:43] He getting special treatment

[00:25:43] Heading down to the

[00:25:45] Forts own little dock here

[00:25:47] There are two ships waiting

[00:25:50] And it is will

[00:25:51] Usher you all onto one of them

[00:25:53] And different crew and deck hands

[00:25:55] We'll take your stuff and bring it below

[00:25:57] To your respective cabins

[00:25:58] But you all remain above deck

[00:26:00] Interest looking out at the keep

[00:26:02] Above on the cliffside here

[00:26:04] And then turning to you all

[00:26:05] Says

[00:26:06] Now it's going to be a journey

[00:26:08] Probably not an easy one

[00:26:10] But we are well stocked and provisioned

[00:26:12] If we were just going to one of the cities

[00:26:14] We probably would only need this

[00:26:16] And she slaps the railing of the ship that you're standing on

[00:26:19] However, seeing as you all elected to go

[00:26:21] To some gods for sake and middle of nowhere

[00:26:23] Abandoned fort that we once had

[00:26:25] 100 years ago

[00:26:26] Thank you very much you all

[00:26:27] We will be needing an entire crew of people

[00:26:30] Do you know what operating costs

[00:26:31] Have you ever actually held silver

[00:26:33] That's fine, I'm getting ahead of myself

[00:26:35] We are underway

[00:26:37] Very shortly

[00:26:38] I'll see you all below

[00:26:40] And she'll excuse herself to go below deck

[00:26:43] After she walks away

[00:26:44] Under her breath, Kell is like

[00:26:46] If you didn't want to go there

[00:26:47] Why was it an option?

[00:26:49] And just walks away

[00:26:50] Just goes to stand

[00:26:51] Near the side of the boat

[00:26:52] Just like grumble into herself

[00:26:54] Is there any part of our performance

[00:26:56] She's been satisfied with

[00:26:57] No

[00:27:00] I say from the other side of the boat

[00:27:02] Or wherever I am

[00:27:04] Now if you all knew Miss Elcar as well as I did

[00:27:07] He'd see a compliment when it was on that day

[00:27:12] This large elf can man

[00:27:14] Chambles down from the helm to the main deck

[00:27:18] This big elf can man

[00:27:20] Wearing a captain's coat

[00:27:22] And a hat very similar to Sorakos

[00:27:24] Who he then kind of just gives you a point in a wink

[00:27:26] And he says

[00:27:27] Well, welcome old this glorious vessel

[00:27:31] How many of you have been at sea before?

[00:27:34] Kible razor hand

[00:27:35] And Finn kind of trucking a little bit

[00:27:37] Raises sand

[00:27:38] Every now and then

[00:27:40] Ah, well

[00:27:41] Good enough

[00:27:42] My name is Captain O'Royce

[00:27:45] And the sears my pride enjoy

[00:27:48] Oh you're a borrowed it

[00:27:49] I want you all to follow just one simple rule

[00:27:52] Pull your weight

[00:27:54] You see a knot in the needle's tie-in

[00:27:57] Tie it

[00:27:57] You see a jib needs jib in

[00:28:00] Jib it

[00:28:01] Hey

[00:28:01] I don't really trust any of you doing much around here

[00:28:06] What does someone ask you for a rope or expect you to render it post-taste?

[00:28:12] Understood sir

[00:28:13] I think you're a little finger self-zeroom here

[00:28:15] For the next month

[00:28:16] Month and a half will be traveling

[00:28:18] So all of you deck and such

[00:28:20] Tear a cabins will be underway within the hour

[00:28:22] And he'll give you a smile and an hour and head back to the helm

[00:28:25] So was he in play in that she was complimenting us this whole time

[00:28:28] I would answer you but I'm on the other side of the boat

[00:28:30] And he would just steer the bread

[00:28:34] Perhaps it is a compliment like Lady Kai give

[00:28:38] You understand me

[00:28:40] At least the words that she's saying are complimentary

[00:28:43] The tone might be a little you know misplaced

[00:28:46] But, Blum and hey, I'm right over here

[00:28:49] Oh I know

[00:28:49] And I've no seen a pattern

[00:28:52] Spread that perhaps you misinterpret good intentions

[00:28:56] It's a pattern that you started Kai

[00:28:58] At this point our anore comes up from below deck

[00:29:01] What do you all standing around for?

[00:29:04] Waiting for someone to tell us what to do

[00:29:09] I love Finn

[00:29:14] I don't know where we got friends

[00:29:17] So, you know perhaps

[00:29:20] Where we put our stuff and how to jib jibs

[00:29:28] The captain did teach me at a young age

[00:29:30] But honestly, I was not very good

[00:29:33] I just can't help move things

[00:29:35] You see something and get done

[00:29:37] Or cabins that don't blow the

[00:29:38] Oh in that case

[00:29:40] I have a this thing and he pulls off like this big pack from his back

[00:29:45] I believe you see this

[00:29:46] So, you help me take it down

[00:29:51] Of course you do so big so strong

[00:29:55] Okay, sure, please show me and he like shoves the bag into your arms

[00:30:00] Maybe looking a little exasperated

[00:30:02] Aarnor will take it

[00:30:04] Yes anything for my good friend

[00:30:08] That is what I like to hear

[00:30:11] To the cabins

[00:30:13] And, Staracos just kind of start walking that direction

[00:30:18] Aarnor starts walking the other direction

[00:30:22] Saracos will very quickly turn around and follow him down

[00:30:26] Does everyone else follow Aarnor?

[00:30:28] Yes

[00:30:28] As you head below deck, work your way through the whole of the ship

[00:30:32] You see it is head in her hands

[00:30:35] Looking at some rooms here and says

[00:30:37] Oh, good God

[00:30:39] Oh, good, y'all here

[00:30:41] We will be

[00:30:43] Bunking up

[00:30:44] I think it's how you would say it

[00:30:46] So, there will be two to each room

[00:30:49] And then three to one

[00:30:50] So, if you have a preference

[00:30:52] Speak it now

[00:30:54] I'm in this one

[00:30:55] And I choose Finn

[00:30:57] You will be bunking with me

[00:30:58] Finn and Ears

[00:30:59] Finn gives a sli look

[00:31:02] No

[00:31:06] Finn doesn't actually say or give any indication of like a reaction

[00:31:11] He just gives a little nod

[00:31:13] And he's gonna walk into the room that she indicated

[00:31:15] The rest of you decide amongst yourselves

[00:31:17] And if you can't do that in five minutes or so, I'll decide for you

[00:31:21] Like a bunch of unusual school children

[00:31:22] So, no, it is no problem

[00:31:24] I, a bunk with Aarnor, my good friend

[00:31:31] He's got three, look, he already have my pack

[00:31:34] Because he do me great favor

[00:31:35] For which I will repay him in time

[00:31:38] Aarnor is good for you

[00:31:40] It's good for you

[00:31:41] Yes, of course it is

[00:31:43] Is settled

[00:31:44] Wonderful, it's settled

[00:31:45] Then Cal Kai and Brad, one of you can fight over the hammock in your room

[00:31:50] So, after Sorako says that

[00:31:52] Anyone who looks at Cal can just see her rolling her eyes over the top of her mask

[00:31:57] Just like, oh god

[00:31:58] Damn it

[00:31:58] Like this is where I'm going

[00:32:00] I'm stuck again

[00:32:01] With Brad and with Kai

[00:32:03] Because I feel like every time we've had some sort of group thing

[00:32:06] Whether it's like we split off

[00:32:08] I've been with Brad every time I think

[00:32:11] And for sick to face a dictated

[00:32:14] I like to think that Cal and Aarnor shared a look

[00:32:17] While Sorako was talking just like, I'm sorry

[00:32:19] It's okay

[00:32:22] In response to this pairing

[00:32:24] Kai is going to speak up and say

[00:32:27] Oh, wonderful

[00:32:29] Rumeys

[00:32:30] I just love girl talk

[00:32:32] This could be wonderful

[00:32:34] And then she'll turn

[00:32:36] And yes, she knows that Brad is a man

[00:32:39] But

[00:32:42] Honestly, I think that Brad is probably pretty canonically good at girl talk

[00:32:46] So

[00:32:47] I like to think also that like Aarnor and Cal

[00:32:51] Brad and Cal

[00:32:53] Share a secondary look

[00:32:54] Just like a

[00:32:55] Yes

[00:32:56] Here we go

[00:32:58] Absolutely

[00:32:59] Aarnor's just glad that it wasn't Kai that he got stuck with

[00:33:03] Everyone was hoping they wouldn't get stuck with Kai

[00:33:06] I'm going to say that this group is filled with a bunch of Mean Girls

[00:33:10] Who hate on Kai for no reason

[00:33:12] I think it's a strong word

[00:33:15] When it's a singular problem

[00:33:19] She says it to a mirror and she smashes the mirror

[00:33:23] Here is after Finn brushes past her

[00:33:26] Well, just look at you a lot as you're settling in your rooms

[00:33:29] The doors are open

[00:33:30] She says, well, I'm going to go confess with the captain for a bit

[00:33:34] If you all need anything, please don't

[00:33:37] While I'm away

[00:33:38] You've been a lot at each

[00:33:41] 1500 silver

[00:33:42] I will be in charge of handing that out at my discretion

[00:33:47] Because again, I'd like to keep operational costs at the low

[00:33:50] While we are here

[00:33:52] Is everyone on the same page with that?

[00:33:55] Lusperm

[00:33:56] As crystal

[00:33:59] I'm not sure

[00:34:07] After hearing our Norse affirmative, she just goes

[00:34:10] I would like I guess ma'am from all of you

[00:34:12] Yes ma'am

[00:34:13] Yes ma'am

[00:34:14] Yes ma'am

[00:34:16] Yes ma'am

[00:34:16] So now you're asking for things again

[00:34:18] You make me not want to give it to you

[00:34:20] I do always so petulant

[00:34:21] Yes ma'am

[00:34:23] Woo

[00:34:24] That was good perfect

[00:34:26] With sales on furlbs

[00:34:28] The wind at their back

[00:34:30] The sun on the horizon

[00:34:32] These two ships embark on a month and a half long journey

[00:34:36] Across the wide open ocean

[00:34:39] Their destination

[00:34:40] The Ironwood companies fortress in the reach

[00:34:44] On the wild continent of a radion
