My name is Matthew Mercer, voice actor and Dungeon Master for Critical Role on Geek & Sundry, where I take a bunch of other voice actors and run them through a fantastical fantasy adventure through the world of Dungeons & Dragons. We play every Thursday at 7:00pm Pacific Standard Time on Geek & Sundry's Twitch stream. Please come watch us live if you have the opportunity. Back episodes and future episodes will be uploaded on the Geek & Sundry website. You can also check them out there. In the meantime, enjoy! MATT: Welcome to first episode of Critical Role, and what this basically is is a continuation of our weekly D&D game. Me and a bunch of other likely nerdy and enjoyable voice actors gathering around, rolling some dice, killing some creatures, having some adventure. Now we have the pleasure of bringing it on the stream for you to watch, enjoy, and occasionally interact with. Before we get to that, to give you a little backstory on the characters you'll be seeing this evening, we're going to play some videos for you in a second. Do note for all you hardcore gamers out there, a lot of this is house-ruled, loosey-goosey having a good time. So all you number crunchers, stop paying attention there, just have fun with it. Nevertheless, we have some background story on many of the characters you'll be seeing this evening to help you jump into the story. Let's go ahead and enjoy those in a minute, then we'll introduce the players. So have fun! TRAVIS: Right, listen up! If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw! A goliath of towering height and size, this barbarian has an appetite for the two great loves in his life: combat, women, and ale! [record scratch] TRAVIS: Wait. Easily the brains of the group, Grog is often consulted for his vast knowledge of shapes, colors, and shiny things! Also ale. In his early years, armed with his two-handed greataxe, Grog often enjoyed proving his might amongst the ranks of his family's wandering herd. But after coming upon an unsuspecting elderly gnome in the woods, he objected to the killing of such an innocent life. A creature of impulse, Grog felt only pity for this-- well, this terrified little thing. And his disobedience cost him dearly. Beaten bloody, and banished by the herd leader, his Uncle Kevdak, Grog was abandoned and left to die. Exiled from his herd, it was then that the relative of the very gnome he fought to save, saved him. It was the kindness of a gnome cleric named Pike that healed Grog, bringing him back from death's edge. And they have remained close friends ever since. Most nights, Grog can be found challenging entire taverns to wrestling matches! Or accompanying Scanlan to the nearest house where you pay for lady favors. Also ale! MARISHA: A first impression of Keyleth would leave you with little information on the half-elven druid. You might even think that her social awkwardness due to her sheltered upbringing is kind of sweet. Of course, it would be unwise underestimate her based on first impressions. [thunder crack] MARISHA: Under that un-intimidating petite frame is a vicious beast waiting to be unleashed, whose natural powers have made even the fiercest of champions pee their pants, literally! Born to the Air Tribe of the Ashari people, Keyleth was raised with a deep love of nature and the elemental magics. It is her people's inherent duty to protect the delicate areas in Tal'Dorei where the four elemental planes begin to bleed with this realm. Since she was a little girl, she had quite a knack for air manipulation and beast shaping abilities. Well, if you consider kittens and flying squirrels to be little beasts. Which, I do. Anyways, it wasn't long before the headmaster of the tribe, her father, Korren, realized her true prodigious abilities and she was inveterated to succeed him as the next headmaster. Just like that, her jovial childhood was stripped and replaced with endless spell memorization, teachings from ancient traditions, and exceedingly high expectations. Every druid leader-to-be must embark on a journey to seek out the sister tribes in order to introduce and establish respect amongst the fellow headmasters. They call this the Aramente, or Noble Odyssey. When her father felt she was ready, he set her on the path to truly discovering herself, not knowing when, or if, she will ever return. As she hiked down the mountain towards Stilben, she meditated on the task ahead. Part of the Aramente is proving yourself a strong warrior, a valiant protector, and a wise and compassionate leader. With this knowledge, one thought plays in repeat in her mind: Is she even worthy? TALIESIN: Percy was the third child of seven children, born to a noble family who lived far to the north in the ancient castle of Whitestone. With so many siblings to share the burdens of lordship, Percy turned his attention to the sciences, engineering, and naturalism. One day, a mysterious couple, named Lord and Lady Briarwood, came to court. During a feast held in their honor, the Briarwoods violently took control of the castle, killing or imprisoning everyone who would stand in their way. Percy awoke chained in the dungeon, only to be freed by his younger sister. Together they fled, chased by the Briarwoods' men. As they ran, Percy's sister took several arrows to the chest and fell. Percy kept running, eventually jumping into a freezing river and floating unconscious to freedom. He did not remember waking up on a fishing boat. He barely remembered the next two years, as he slowly made his way as far south as possible. Then one night, Percy had a dream. A roaring cloud of smoke offered him vengeance against those who destroyed his family. When he awoke, Percy began to design his first gun. SAM: Oh, you haven't heard of Scanlan Shorthalt? Well, gird your loins, ladies, because he has his eye on you. A talented musician, master of disguise, and dashingly handsome in his own mind, Scanlan sings songs almost as much as he sings his own praises. Born a poor gnome, Scanlan used his endless charm and soaring tenor voice to croon for coin and support his single mother. One day, he was discovered by a half-orc promoter, and joined Dr. Dranzel's Spectacular Traveling Troupe where he learned the ways of the world, and honed his skills as a bard extraordinaire. A loner much of his life, Scanlan has never quite come to terms with the violent death of his mother at the hands of a goblin invasion. While his years on the road provided many, shall we say, educational experiences with the opposite sex, deep down Scanlan yearns for the one thing he's never known: the true love of a fellow gnome. Still, Scanlan considers himself a lover first, performer second, and fighter distant third. On the battlefield, he'll support his allies, but rarely draws blood, unless it's to protect fellow gnome, Pike. Count on Scanlan for a hearty laugh, a rollicking song, and a twinkle in his eye that melts hearts and makes the females swoon. ORION: Greetings and salutations, I am Tiberius Stormwind. I hail from a town called Ty'rex, located in the heart of Draconia, born from a politically respected family. At the age of 15, I succeeded in passing the Sorcerer's Rite, showing prodigy-like control of my magic. The judges and the Draconian high council were amazed at how powerful my spells were for how long I had been training. At 20 years old, I was the youngest appointed member of the magic guild in Draconian history. For the next few years, I almost went mad from the malaise of being a guild member, as it's rather boring. However, one day I happened upon a chamber, unused for quite some time. In the room were stacks of books and maps of the surrounding cities and areas around the known world. For months, I would frequent the chamber, and learned of artifacts from legend. After a long period of research, I made a list of artifacts that caught my eye. I brought these findings to the high council and was told that all of the information in the chamber I had stumbled upon was either believed to be fiction, or unsolvable mysteries, and hence were lost forever. I found those answers to be unacceptable. A year later, I devised a ruse and managed to convince the city council to lend support in me leaving Draconia on a mission of peace and diplomacy for the surrounding kingdoms. Going from town to town and making friends and allies in and for the name of Draconia. Being a red dragonborn, I had quite the task on my hands in that respect, but it was exactly what I needed so I could explore the world and find these artifacts, as I felt the truth was out there. Some may describe me as buffoonish, but I say poppycock to all that. I am much sharper than most give me credit for. I just don't pay attention to things sometimes. I've also been known to be rather cunning, loyal, happy-go-lucky, and well, dangerous. I can't help but show my true scales every now and then. But overall, I think I'm quite friendly for a dragonborn. LIAM: Never entirely welcome in the company of elves or men, Vax'ildan learned at a young age to skip past formality, preferring instead to invite himself in your door. Along with twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax was born by a chance encounter between elven royalty and human peasantry. Raised by their mother in their early years, the twins were eventually sent off to their father in the elven capital of Syngorn. But their cool reception among the elves there never warmed, and their time in the capital didn't last. The siblings stole away one autumn night and set out on the open road. After a few years of wandering, they eventually decided to return to their mother, and journeyed back to the lands of their youth. But instead of finding their childhood home, they returned to a pile of rubble. Their mother was gone, their home burned to ash. Pressing the townspeople for answers, they learned of the day the dragon came. With their ties all severed, Vax'ildan and his sister set out to find their fortune together in Tal'Dorei. An outsider since birth, Vax quickly learned to solve life's challenges in his own particular way, often by sidestepping them entirely. And when his knack for circumventing adversity isn't enough, the way of blades the elves schooled him in more than makes up the difference. LAURA: Like so many half-elves, Vex'ahlia has spent most of her life suffering the cool reception of a people who don't fully accept her. Born of a human mother, and an elven father who only later in life took an interest in their existence, Vex'ahlia and her twin brother, Vax'ildan, quickly realized the only people they could truly rely on in this world were each other. It was at the age of ten when the two were taken from their mother, and brought to live in Syngorn, the isolated elven city for which their father was an ambassador. He quietly took them in, but always kept an icy distance, and after too many years of disdainful looks, the pair decided to leave his indifference behind, and set out on their own. Vax took to the cities, stealing small trinkets and learning the ways of the thief, while Vex kept to the woods. She preferred the isolation. Always the keen observer, she learned to hunt and to track, to spy and to shoot. Through a series of fateful events, earned herself a companion in the form of a bear-- her own stolen Trinket-- to fight alongside her and protect her fiercely. Also, he is adorable, and gives expert massages. Like so many half-elves-- MATT: Hey guys, welcome back. To give you a little heads up, we are playing the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. We recently converted over from Pathfinder, for those who play Pathfinder. One of our players was a gunslinger, for which there are no rules for in 5th edition. So I had to create and customize those for the game, so bear with us on that. That will be an interesting ride, regardless. We do have an eight-player game we've been playing for two years, which is a little crazy, which is why we go a little loose with the rules. It's a great group, it's a lot of fun. Not everyone can make every game, so we have enough players to definitely pull a party each time. ZAC: Just so you know, we're having an audio bottleneck. It'll take about 30 seconds to work itself out. MATT: Okay, audio bottleneck. ZAC: Tech problems that make me want to murder someone. MATT: That's okay. Just a second. You let us know when it's okay to talk. TRAVIS: I don't know what that means, a bottleneck. MATT: Are we all right? And how are we? Exterminate. Exterminate. SAM: Nice. Audio isn't working they're going to watch something else. Thanks, douche. (laughter) MATT: Is the mic adjusted? Is it any better? ZAC: Better now. We're good. MATT: Well, great. Thank you guys. A couple of things transitioned from Pathfinder to 5th edition may be a little strange and fun. We have a lot of players, but they're great folks and most of that just means I have to work really hard to make sure the game keeps going, so that's on me. Ashley Johnson, unfortunately, cannot join us. She's our gnome cleric, Pike. She'll be here next week. Unfortunately, she's in London accepting a BAFTA, so I think we're okay. For the Last of Us. That's harsh. Also no donations this week, but going forward we will have donations available for those that will help partially run the show from our wonderful cameraman and crew. Also, half of our donations will go to the 826 charity. Marisha, if you want to talk a little about that.
Donations will be accepted in the following weeks to support the crew. Half of the donations will go to the charity 826LA.	2	21	22	1.078358	[ { "names": [ "MATT" ], "utterances": [ "Well, great.

They run a very tight ship on the streets, so be careful." TALIESIN: That shouldn't be a problem. Mostly we are looking for Lord Greyspine, if I recall. We have business with him. LAURA: We might have business with you, if you've seen a halfling come through. MATT: She thinks to herself and goes, "There was a halfling woman, but she was staying at the Firebrook Inn." LAURA: The Firebrook. MATT: "The bottom floor, for a couple of weeks. There was talk about her. She got in a few fights herself. The one with the silver armor? That one? Yeah, she was a firebrand if ever I saw one. Right up my alley, I like that one." TALIESIN: How long ago would you say this was? MATT: "Oh, she went through a few weeks. I haven't seen her recently." TALIESIN: Thank you. Perfect. TRAVIS: Is there a champion of the circle of fighting in the tavern? Is there a reigning-- SAM: Already, Grog?! TRAVIS: Well, I have to know these things! TALIESIN: He has to do something. MATT: She turns the barrel that she has on the table towards you a little bit and you can see the actual symbol, this burned image on the side that says, "Balgus Brewery." She goes, "That'll be Balgus. The one that supplies us with what you're drinking. He's the undefeated champion. But I don't think he's quite right to fight at the moment." She points towards the very edge of the bar and you see one older grizzled dwarf, long gray hair pulled into straight braids in the back, big bushy beard that's all shoved up into his face because he's asleep, drunk as a skunk, on the edge of the bar. TRAVIS: My type of dwarf. Maybe we'll can use him as a merc later or something. All right, another time then. SAM: Another time. LIAM: Save it for a rainy day. TRAVIS: Does it rain down here? TALIESIN: I don't think they have rainy days. MATT: "You said Greyspine?" LAURA: Yes, Greyspine. TALIESIN: We are looking to set up a meeting. MATT: "Which Greyspine?" SAM: Nostoc? MATT: "Nostoc Greyspine. He's definitely a business type one." ORION: Well who's the friendlier Greypsine? MATT: "The friendlier of the types would probably be the head of House Greyspine." MARISHA: Wait, how many Greypsines are there? MATT: "Oh, well there's probably several at this point, I've lost track. The family line's been going for a while. However, of House Greyspine currently, Ironkeeper Gradim Greyspine is the head of this entire city. Voted in ten years ago, actually. He's head of the council." MARISHA: Ironkeeper what? MATT: "Ironkeeper Gradim Greypsine. Gradim! You're-- (sigh) These commoners. Learn to speak the language!" ORION: I understood! LIAM: Adra, may I ask, obviously we have no dwarves in our little party. MATT: "Unfortunately." LAURA: Unfortunately for us. LIAM: Sorry, about that. You're very welcoming. We appreciate that. How welcoming would you say the city is to outsiders? Would we stick out like a sore thumb? MATT: "Probably. As long as you don't do anything stupid. As long as you keep the coin flowing, and as long as you stay to the upper levels. The lower levels you get to more of the business: the miners, the forges, the foundries. When you get to the business areas, that's where the guard gets heavier and that's where folks don't like you poking near their money." SAM: So the lower levels would have the mithral mines? MATT: "The mithral mine, aye." SAM: There's one? MATT: "There is one now. It's all been, and has been for quite some time, completely helmed up and run by House Greypsine. The Keystone Quarry is what you're looking for." LIAM: We're not really interested in that. We just want to see the city. Our business is elsewhere. MATT: "Yeah, I would not recommend it. Not without proper business credentials on that. You'll end up being questioned very heavily." LIAM: Sounds like a dirty business, anyway. LAURA: Right. TRAVIS: Yeah, you want to stay away from those miners Scanlan, that's a dirty business. MATT: She gives you a look almost like it was a slightly racist statement, but then passes it off because you paid her a lot of coin today. MARISHA: So racist. LAURA: So No-stock. Nostoc? LIAM: Nostoc. LAURA: Nostoc Greyspine. MATT: "Yes." LAURA: You said that he's kind of a--? MATT: "Oh, there's a reason he's the one put in charge of the mines and the businesses and the foundries." LAURA: Oh. Where is he located, exactly? MATT: "Well, if he's not home at the actual Greyspine Manor-- which is a sprawling house. It contains all the ones who live there." TRAVIS: We're going there! MATT: "He's probably down at the actual--" What is it? Pardon. Bear with me. Consult my notes! "He's probably down by the Greyspine quarry itself, keeping an eye on the business there." There's a nearby dwarf having a few drinks, goes, "Ah, Greyspine, there's been troubles round there! Apparently, a friend of mine works there. Got a big, nasty scar last week. Wouldn't even pay him for his time off to heal. It's bullshit!" He slams his drink down on the table. SAM: Down at the quarry? MATT: "Aye." MARISHA: How did your friend get this nasty cut? MATT: "He works there! Said there was things pouring out of the caves. Goblins and the like!" LAURA: Goblins? MATT: "Ah, goblins are nothing." LAURA: Of course not. MATT: "Seems there's something other than goblins poking out through this hole. Just saying, that business is in for a serious problem if it doesn't change." LAURA: Does your friend ever have drinks here? "No. He's been sober for two years. We're not friends anymore." Tugs on his beard a little bit. MARISHA: Oh. I'm sorry. I think. SAM: A lot to process. MATT: He pours another drink. At which point, Adra slaps his hand and says, "Pay that. He bought one round!" He finishes his drink and walks away. ORION: Excuse me, one thing, Adra, are there any mystics in this particular town that study any arcane arts? MATT: "Of course! What, you think dwarves are just the baseline folks who brawl each other?" MARISHA: So many racist comments. Jeez! MATT: "What you're looking for is House Thunderbrand. They are the ones who, by blood, have the arcane arts in their family line." ORION: Interesting. MATT: "They run most of the enchantment process in the city, they also train-- they call it train, some of us call it more 'indoctrination.' But, they're definitely the focus of all arcane arts here in Kraghammer." ORION: Thank you. SAM: Thank you for your time, Adra. Carry on with your evening. We'll seek you out if we have any more questions. MATT: "Certainly. Now if you don't mind," She scoots you aside, and you see a line, a queue of dwarves behind her, with their empty cups, waiting to get to her to fill up the drinks that you bought. MARISHA: Oh, that's-- we did promise that. LIAM: Enjoy, gentlemen! And lady. LAURA: What time of day is it? MATT: Best that you can tell, inside-- you can't. You just arrived, probably around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon, so you're probably pushing sunset right about now. LAURA: Do dwarves carry the same schedule? MARISHA: I don't know. LAURA: Does anyone know? TALIESIN: There's only one way to find out. MATT: Make an intelligence check! TRAVIS: Oh! Roll it! You're the first one. LIAM: First die rolling. Nice! LAURA: 18, plus, what is that? Investigation? Or insight? MATT: This would be a straight intelligence roll on this one, so your general knowledge of dwarves. LAURA: Oh. 20, then. MATT: 20. That's not too bad! In your experience, you know dwarves, depending on their lifestyle and what they do for a living, their clocks can run differently, but for the most part, they run in tandem with most other races just because it makes it easier for dealing with outside forces. But, like I said, it's very variable. There is no set, locked time of: this is morning, this is evening, they just sleep when they need to and wake up when they need to. LAURA: All right. Good to know. MARISHA: It's like living in Alaska. LAURA: Right! MATT: Dwarven Alaska. SAM: Yes, fellows, what should we do? LAURA: Check out the Firebrook Inn, yes. That was where Lady Kima was staying. Also, I think somebody should run reconnaissance on Greyspine Manor. TRAVIS: Like stealth, you mean? LIAM: Yes. I don't think we should try to go directly to the mines and find Nostoc. LAURA: No. SAM: Agreed. LIAM: No, I think maybe we should enlist the help of a dwarf here in the city to introduce us to Nostoc. I mean, we're not trying to raise hell, or bring down a thousand dwarves upon us. TALIESIN: There's no sense attempting to be subtle. SAM: Although, that does sound fun. TALIESIN: Everyone's going to know that we're here, and what we're looking for by morning. TRAVIS: Why don't we get old Drunky Greybeard that's got his face down on the bar to do it? LAURA: Yeah, but he's very-- Well, let's ask him. Maybe he's drunk enough to help us. Saddle up, Grog! TRAVIS: Me? LAURA: People seem to like you here. TRAVIS: Yeah, but I'm really-- oh, that's true. LIAM: You're the connoisseur. TRAVIS: Maybe I'll part my armor, so he can see the scar. Post up on the bar. MARISHA: Take him a drink! TRAVIS: All right. LAURA: Yes, take him a drink. A very large drink. TRAVIS: I would like to get the largest goblet you have of ale, and I would like to go over to, what was his name? Bulbous? MATT: Balgus. ALL: Balgus. TRAVIS: I had it right. MATT: Close. TRAVIS: Balgus. I would like to-- SAM: I'm coming with Grog. TRAVIS: Yes. I would like to go up and put my scar, and post up on the bar and (throat clearing) MATT: (snores) TRAVIS: (louder throat clearing) SAM: I take out my flute and I play a little Healing Words spell and try to heal him of his drunkenness. LAURA: Just a little of his drunkenness, not all of his drunkenness. TRAVIS: He likes him drunk, so maybe like, half. MATT: You play your tune, a beautiful little tune that saunters through the air.The magical energies emanate from the notes you make, drift into his torso; you can see a slight glow and he, "(grumbling) Where's that blasted music coming from?" His hand goes out and paws towards the flute. SAM: Huh, I don't know where that was coming from. TRAVIS: I'm sorry to disturb you, your name is of great repute around these parts. MATT: He wipes a globule of drool that's crusted into his beard. "Aye, you've bothered me nap. What do you want from Balgus?" TRAVIS: We were wondering if we might, perchance, acquire your knowledge about town, for a bit of a search. LAURA: (whispered) Talk to him about fighting first. TRAVIS: Right, I hear you're a good fighter. You look strong. MATT: "I've heard the same." TRAVIS: Right. How often do you get challengers in this tavern? MATT: "Not as often as I get woken up from my sleep. Which is never. Because only stupid people do that." LAURA: Lost cause. Abandon ship! TRAVIS: Right. I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing. LAURA: Okay. TRAVIS: There is a very pretty lady over there, with slightly pointy ears. (whispering) I'm talking about you or you. (normal volume) There's two of them! They were actually wanting to ask you a question if you wouldn't mind. MATT: Make a persuasion roll. TRAVIS: Me?! SAM: Why is he doing this? LAURA: Why would you throw this to us? MARISHA: I know! TRAVIS: Because I was either going to fight him or I was going to throw boobs at him, and I went with boobs.

MATT: Oh, what you're looking for is the House Thunderbrand. ORION: I want to head in that direction. MATT: Okay, so you're dividing from the party? Okay. ORION: Oh, I'm going to House Thunderbrand, if anybody wants to come with me. LAURA: What are you doing? I can't understand you with that popcorn in your mouth. ORION: Sorry!

MATT: Hello everyone. My name is Matthew Mercer, voice actor and Dungeon Master for Critical Role on Geek & Sundry, where I take a bunch of other voice actors and run them through a fantastical fantasy adventure through the world of Dungeons & Dragons. We play every Thursday at 7:00pm Pacific Standard Time on Geek & Sundry's Twitch stream. Please come watch us live if you have the opportunity. Back episodes and future episodes will be uploaded on the Geek & Sundry website. You can also check them out there. In the meantime, enjoy! MATT: Welcome to first episode of Critical Role, and what this basically is is a continuation of our weekly D&D game. Me and a bunch of other likely nerdy and enjoyable voice actors gathering around, rolling some dice, killing some creatures, having some adventure. Now we have the pleasure of bringing it on the stream for you to watch, enjoy, and occasionally interact with. Before we get to that, to give you a little backstory on the characters you'll be seeing this evening, we're going to play some videos for you in a second. Do note for all you hardcore gamers out there, a lot of this is house-ruled, loosey-goosey having a good time. So all you number crunchers, stop paying attention there, just have fun with it. Nevertheless, we have some background story on many of the characters you'll be seeing this evening to help you jump into the story. Let's go ahead and enjoy those in a minute, then we'll introduce the players. So have fun! TRAVIS: Right, listen up! If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw! A goliath of towering height and size, this barbarian has an appetite for the two great loves in his life: combat, women, and ale! [record scratch] TRAVIS: Wait. Easily the brains of the group, Grog is often consulted for his vast knowledge of shapes, colors, and shiny things! Also ale. In his early years, armed with his two-handed greataxe, Grog often enjoyed proving his might amongst the ranks of his family's wandering herd. But after coming upon an unsuspecting elderly gnome in the woods, he objected to the killing of such an innocent life. A creature of impulse, Grog felt only pity for this-- well, this terrified little thing. And his disobedience cost him dearly. Beaten bloody, and banished by the herd leader, his Uncle Kevdak, Grog was abandoned and left to die. Exiled from his herd, it was then that the relative of the very gnome he fought to save, saved him. It was the kindness of a gnome cleric named Pike that healed Grog, bringing him back from death's edge. And they have remained close friends ever since. Most nights, Grog can be found challenging entire taverns to wrestling matches! Or accompanying Scanlan to the nearest house where you pay for lady favors. Also ale! MARISHA: A first impression of Keyleth would leave you with little information on the half-elven druid. You might even think that her social awkwardness due to her sheltered upbringing is kind of sweet. Of course, it would be unwise underestimate her based on first impressions. [thunder crack] MARISHA: Under that un-intimidating petite frame is a vicious beast waiting to be unleashed, whose natural powers have made even the fiercest of champions pee their pants, literally! Born to the Air Tribe of the Ashari people, Keyleth was raised with a deep love of nature and the elemental magics. It is her people's inherent duty to protect the delicate areas in Tal'Dorei where the four elemental planes begin to bleed with this realm. Since she was a little girl, she had quite a knack for air manipulation and beast shaping abilities. Well, if you consider kittens and flying squirrels to be little beasts. Which, I do. Anyways, it wasn't long before the headmaster of the tribe, her father, Korren, realized her true prodigious abilities and she was inveterated to succeed him as the next headmaster. Just like that, her jovial childhood was stripped and replaced with endless spell memorization, teachings from ancient traditions, and exceedingly high expectations. Every druid leader-to-be must embark on a journey to seek out the sister tribes in order to introduce and establish respect amongst the fellow headmasters. They call this the Aramente, or Noble Odyssey. When her father felt she was ready, he set her on the path to truly discovering herself, not knowing when, or if, she will ever return. As she hiked down the mountain towards Stilben, she meditated on the task ahead. Part of the Aramente is proving yourself a strong warrior, a valiant protector, and a wise and compassionate leader. With this knowledge, one thought plays in repeat in her mind: Is she even worthy? TALIESIN: Percy was the third child of seven children, born to a noble family who lived far to the north in the ancient castle of Whitestone. With so many siblings to share the burdens of lordship, Percy turned his attention to the sciences, engineering, and naturalism. One day, a mysterious couple, named Lord and Lady Briarwood, came to court. During a feast held in their honor, the Briarwoods violently took control of the castle, killing or imprisoning everyone who would stand in their way. Percy awoke chained in the dungeon, only to be freed by his younger sister. Together they fled, chased by the Briarwoods' men. As they ran, Percy's sister took several arrows to the chest and fell. Percy kept running, eventually jumping into a freezing river and floating unconscious to freedom. He did not remember waking up on a fishing boat. He barely remembered the next two years, as he slowly made his way as far south as possible. Then one night, Percy had a dream. A roaring cloud of smoke offered him vengeance against those who destroyed his family. When he awoke, Percy began to design his first gun. SAM: Oh, you haven't heard of Scanlan Shorthalt? Well, gird your loins, ladies, because he has his eye on you. A talented musician, master of disguise, and dashingly handsome in his own mind, Scanlan sings songs almost as much as he sings his own praises. Born a poor gnome, Scanlan used his endless charm and soaring tenor voice to croon for coin and support his single mother. One day, he was discovered by a half-orc promoter, and joined Dr. Dranzel's Spectacular Traveling Troupe where he learned the ways of the world, and honed his skills as a bard extraordinaire. A loner much of his life, Scanlan has never quite come to terms with the violent death of his mother at the hands of a goblin invasion. While his years on the road provided many, shall we say, educational experiences with the opposite sex, deep down Scanlan yearns for the one thing he's never known: the true love of a fellow gnome. Still, Scanlan considers himself a lover first, performer second, and fighter distant third. On the battlefield, he'll support his allies, but rarely draws blood, unless it's to protect fellow gnome, Pike. Count on Scanlan for a hearty laugh, a rollicking song, and a twinkle in his eye that melts hearts and makes the females swoon. ORION: Greetings and salutations, I am Tiberius Stormwind. I hail from a town called Ty'rex, located in the heart of Draconia, born from a politically respected family. At the age of 15, I succeeded in passing the Sorcerer's Rite, showing prodigy-like control of my magic. The judges and the Draconian high council were amazed at how powerful my spells were for how long I had been training. At 20 years old, I was the youngest appointed member of the magic guild in Draconian history. For the next few years, I almost went mad from the malaise of being a guild member, as it's rather boring. However, one day I happened upon a chamber, unused for quite some time. In the room were stacks of books and maps of the surrounding cities and areas around the known world. For months, I would frequent the chamber, and learned of artifacts from legend. After a long period of research, I made a list of artifacts that caught my eye. I brought these findings to the high council and was told that all of the information in the chamber I had stumbled upon was either believed to be fiction, or unsolvable mysteries, and hence were lost forever. I found those answers to be unacceptable. A year later, I devised a ruse and managed to convince the city council to lend support in me leaving Draconia on a mission of peace and diplomacy for the surrounding kingdoms. Going from town to town and making friends and allies in and for the name of Draconia. Being a red dragonborn, I had quite the task on my hands in that respect, but it was exactly what I needed so I could explore the world and find these artifacts, as I felt the truth was out there. Some may describe me as buffoonish, but I say poppycock to all that. I am much sharper than most give me credit for. I just don't pay attention to things sometimes. I've also been known to be rather cunning, loyal, happy-go-lucky, and well, dangerous. I can't help but show my true scales every now and then. But overall, I think I'm quite friendly for a dragonborn. LIAM: Never entirely welcome in the company of elves or men, Vax'ildan learned at a young age to skip past formality, preferring instead to invite himself in your door. Along with twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax was born by a chance encounter between elven royalty and human peasantry. Raised by their mother in their early years, the twins were eventually sent off to their father in the elven capital of Syngorn. But their cool reception among the elves there never warmed, and their time in the capital didn't last. The siblings stole away one autumn night and set out on the open road. After a few years of wandering, they eventually decided to return to their mother, and journeyed back to the lands of their youth. But instead of finding their childhood home, they returned to a pile of rubble. Their mother was gone, their home burned to ash. Pressing the townspeople for answers, they learned of the day the dragon came. With their ties all severed, Vax'ildan and his sister set out to find their fortune together in Tal'Dorei. An outsider since birth, Vax quickly learned to solve life's challenges in his own particular way, often by sidestepping them entirely. And when his knack for circumventing adversity isn't enough, the way of blades the elves schooled him in more than makes up the difference. LAURA: Like so many half-elves, Vex'ahlia has spent most of her life suffering the cool reception of a people who don't fully accept her. Born of a human mother, and an elven father who only later in life took an interest in their existence, Vex'ahlia and her twin brother, Vax'ildan, quickly realized the only people they could truly rely on in this world were each other. It was at the age of ten when the two were taken from their mother, and brought to live in Syngorn, the isolated elven city for which their father was an ambassador. He quietly took them in, but always kept an icy distance, and after too many years of disdainful looks, the pair decided to leave his indifference behind, and set out on their own. Vax took to the cities, stealing small trinkets and learning the ways of the thief, while Vex kept to the woods. She preferred the isolation. Always the keen observer, she learned to hunt and to track, to spy and to shoot. Through a series of fateful events, earned herself a companion in the form of a bear-- her own stolen Trinket-- to fight alongside her and protect her fiercely. Also, he is adorable, and gives expert massages. Like so many half-elves-- MATT: Hey guys, welcome back. To give you a little heads up, we are playing the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. We recently converted over from Pathfinder, for those who play Pathfinder. One of our players was a gunslinger, for which there are no rules for in 5th edition. So I had to create and customize those for the game, so bear with us on that. That will be an interesting ride, regardless. We do have an eight-player game we've been playing for two years, which is a little crazy, which is why we go a little loose with the rules. It's a great group, it's a lot of fun. Not everyone can make every game, so we have enough players to definitely pull a party each time. ZAC: Just so you know, we're having an audio bottleneck. It'll take about 30 seconds to work itself out. MATT: Okay, audio bottleneck. ZAC: Tech problems that make me want to murder someone. MATT: That's okay. Just a second. You let us know when it's okay to talk. TRAVIS: I don't know what that means, a bottleneck. MATT: Are we all right? And how are we? Exterminate. Exterminate. SAM: Nice. Audio isn't working they're going to watch something else. Thanks, douche. (laughter) MATT: Is the mic adjusted? Is it any better? ZAC: Better now. We're good. MATT: Well, great. Thank you guys. A couple of things transitioned from Pathfinder to 5th edition may be a little strange and fun. We have a lot of players, but they're great folks and most of that just means I have to work really hard to make sure the game keeps going, so that's on me. Ashley Johnson, unfortunately, cannot join us. She's our gnome cleric, Pike. She'll be here next week. Unfortunately, she's in London accepting a BAFTA, so I think we're okay. For the Last of Us. That's harsh. Also no donations this week, but going forward we will have donations available for those that will help partially run the show from our wonderful cameraman and crew. Also, half of our donations will go to the 826 charity. Marisha, if you want to talk a little about that.

Donations will be accepted in the following weeks to support the crew. Half of the donations will go to the charity 826LA.

MATT: All right! Let's jump on in. Thank you. Last we left off, to give you a little backstory. The party had completed a large venture in saving the nearby city of Emon.

As part of this, she let the information go to Allura that a dark vision had come to her saying that some sort of evil root is beginning to breed beneath Kraghammer and the mountains within Kraghammer, which is the nearby dwarven civilization that you guys have previously not been allowed entry to because the dwarves weren't fans of nobody without any political means of entry.

"[The party] left. On the pathway to the dwarven citadel of Kraghammer, [they] were ambushed by a group of roaming barbarian goliaths, of which partway through the battle Grog managed to recognize one of them as a previous ally—and no-longer-ally at this time.

MATT: All right! Let's jump on in. Thank you. Last we left off, to give you a little backstory. The party had completed a large venture in saving the nearby city of Emon. One of the central capitals of this human civilization of Tal'Dorei. They managed to halt a demonic insurrection within the throne and as such were greeted to a hero's celebration and had a keep built in their honor. Over the six month period of the keep being constructed, they went their own ways and then returned to see its final creation. However, they did not have a chance to really enjoy it immediately as one of their good friends and allies, Arcanist Allura Vysoren of the Tal'Dorei council came to them requesting their aid saying that a long time friend of hers, Lady Kima of Vord, who is a very well known and very well respected halfling paladin of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, had been gone on a pilgrimage for a while, essentially a vision quest that is part of her own development as a paladin. As part of this, she let the information go to Allura that a dark vision had come to her saying that some sort of evil root is beginning to breed beneath Kraghammer and the mountains within Kraghammer, which is the nearby dwarven civilization that you guys have previously not been allowed entry to because the dwarves weren't fans of nobody without any political means of entry. However, she managed to acquire the necessary documentation and offered you a very substantial reward should you find the whereabouts of Lady Kima of Vord and hopefully bring her back safely. You left on the pathway to the dwarven citadel of Kraghammer. You were ambushed by a group of roaming barbarian goliaths. Part way through the battle, Grog managed to recognize one of them as a previous ally and no longer an ally at this time. TRAVIS: Son of a bitch. MATT: Yep, the barbarian for his first and only time so far managed to avert battle through a social encounter and rolled pretty damn well on a persuasion check. So you got one. You get one. You got your one. Never again. TRAVIS: Next time he dies. MATT: Yeah. Essentially. Which managed to not turn it into complete bloodshed. You continued on your way to Kraghammer, presented your paperwork, were given entry into the city and that is where we begin this adventure. LAURA: Oh no. SAM: In the city of Kraghammer? MATT: In the city of Kraghammer. SAM: Wow! This is fantastic. TRAVIS: We're in, right? MARISHA: Yes. We were at the door. We were talking to someone right? MATT: Yeah, you were talking to the front guards at the gate of Kraghammer. They have begrudgingly let you inside. Giving you a couple of pointers little prods and sent you into the city proper. You made your way through the darkened alleyways and stone carved tunnel that leads into the main, central portion of the city proper. An enormous underground metropolis sprawls out before you. The dark earth and shadows creating beautiful stone work, marble columns, archways, and labyrinthine bridges climbing across the vertical cityscape. All warmed with the red glow of some strange, crimson rock peppered throughout the town as a light source. A large metal forge envelops the center of this cylindrical city. The entire is a three-tiered cylindrical city that is built into the ground of the mountain itself. Welcome to Kraghammer! LIAM: Remind us. Did we bullshit our way in here, or did-- LAURA: No, we had a way in. MATT: No, Allura got your paperwork so you were actually able to get in this time. LAURA: But, Ashley speaks Dwarvish. Pike speaks-- MATT: Pike speaks Dwarvish and she's not here. ORION: I speak Dwarvish as well! LAURA: Oh good! ORION: I do. SAM: That's fantastic. MATT: The only other bit of information you have about the whereabouts of her is that she came here to go into the mine Apparently, a mithral mine where this evil is supposedly brewing. You heard that the one person who owns the biggest part of the mithral market here cornering, his name was the dwarven Lord Nostoc Greyspine. That was the only name you had in regards to this deep earth quarry.

Vox Machina have just entered the dwarven city of Kraghammer for the first time on their quest to find Lady Kima of Vord. They know that she was headed for the mithral mine owned by Nostoc Greyspine, but they decide to find somewhere to sleep first.

The party notices a group of armored dwarves awkwardly watching them. Tiberius —the only one besides Pike who can speak Dwarvish—asks them where they can find suitable lodgings.

One of the dwarves, Thompson, tells them in Common to go to "The Pig Pits". Vex'ahlia guesses that the Pig Pits are actual pits for pigs.

MATT: The only other bit of information you have about the whereabouts of her is that she came here to go into the mine Apparently, a mithral mine where this evil is supposedly brewing. You heard that the one person who owns the biggest part of the mithral market here cornering, his name was the dwarven Lord Nostoc Greyspine. That was the only name you had in regards to this deep earth quarry. SAM: Greyspine? MATT: Greyspine, correct. SAM: We have to go find him, don't we? TALIESIN: I think before we do anything we should find a place to sleep. ORION: That's true! TRAVIS: Oh! We're all jacked up from before, right? TALIESIN: Wouldn't it be nice to put everything down for a little while. SAM: Of course. I've got a lot of booty that I need to stow. ORION: Good way to phrase that, Scanlan. Also, I would like to check out any places where they might have enchanted libraries or what not. SAM: Can you stick with us? You're the only one that speaks Dwarvish. LIAM: Yes, you're getting ahead of yourself. ORION: I'm just saying put it on the list. LIAM: Let's look around. Are there any dwarves in the vicinity? MATT: Oh, there are many! As you finish this conversation you look about there are two guards posted nearby wearing dark crimson and brass chest plates that have a uniform scar carved across the front. It's actually built into the armor itself as a design. They're both staring awkwardly at all of you arguing in the middle of this entry thoroughfare of Kraghammer. LIAM: Tiberius, make with the dwarf-talk, please. ORION: Hello, friends. My associates and I were looking for a place of lodging for the night and a place of reputable reputation. MATT: One dwarf shouts over to another one, "You hear that, Jepson?! They're looking for a place to stay." "Aye, I heard that right. It's about time we had some new folk in town. Well, if you're looking for a place to stay I'd say your best bet would be the Pig Pits." SAM: Is that the name of a place? MATT: "Yes! Certainly! The Pig Pits." SAM: All right. MATT: "Ask for the Pig Pits--" LAURA: Those are actually pig pits, isn't it? MARISHA: I feel like we're being hazed. MATT: "What?! No! Not at all." TRAVIS: That sounds fine with me. LIAM: This is Common? MATT: This is all in Common, yeah. SAM: Which way to the Pig Pits, sir? MATT: "Pig Pits are that way." He points over the edge and you see down past the central forge structure in the city to the very bottom nearby a large temple that envelops the bottom floor of Kraghammer proper there is indeed a distant slop of mud where internal livestock are being kept.

Thompson weakly denies this. Scanlan asks for directions to the Pig Pits and the dwarf points to a distant slop of mud where livestock are kept.

Vex'ahlia gives a piece of gold to Thompson to show them to actual lodgings. The dwarf gladly accepts the bribe and directs the group to the Iron Hearth Tavern, telling them to listen for laughter and people who are very, very drunk.

Vex gives him a thank you and a wink, and the party heads to the tavern. Music, cheers, and arguments can be heard flowing from the tavern from several buildings away.

MATT: "It's good to see that at least one of you speaks Dwarvish." Takes the coin, kinks it in his teeth and goes, "All right, now if you're looking for a proper place to stay you're going to look for the Iron Hearth Tavern. That is to your left up that way no more than a half mile. Keep an eye out. Listen for the laughter and the people who are very drunk. That's your best bet." LAURA: Thank you, sir.

LIAM: It's a nervous tic, really. MATT: It's a feat she took. You progress to the western side of the Kraghammer rotation as you curl around the central platform. Making your way eventually to the outside of this rather large, central tavern inn. As you walk in, you can hear music playing, you can hear laughter and boastful cheer, you can hear some arguments in the distance. You can hear it from a good two or three buildings away. This is definitely a central social environment here in Kraghammer. As you walk inside, you-- Let me get some proper tavern music here for you. SAM: Smells in here. TRAVIS: Drinking territory. MATT: You hear some loud boisterous (hearty dwarven laughter), some drinks being clinked together. As you walk in, the first thing that catches you is the scent of stale alcohol and smoked wood of some kind. TRAVIS: Yes! MATT: There are tables, most of them in decent condition, some of them half-broken and repaired, probably from some previous encounter in the bar. In the center of the room, there looks to be a not currently in use, specifically built brawling circle. It's about 30 feet by 20 feet. It's more of an oval. It's not in use, currently. SAM: An octagon? MATT: Essentially. LIAM: How high is the ceiling here? Can Grog fit in here? TRAVIS: Oh right, am I like--? MATT: The ceiling actually is considered vaulted ceiling for dwarves so it runs at about seven feet. For Grog, it's uncomfortable, almost scratching your head across the top. As you enter, about seven or eight of the nearby dwarves at the front door go, (hearty laughter). They look immediately at the ragtag non-dwarven group that just stumbled into the center of the tavern.

Vox Machina enters, although Grog has to duck slightly to avoid hitting his head. Several nearby dwarves give strange looks to the very non-dwarven group that just entered.

Grog is delighted by the offer of a free drink. To Vex's horror, Vax'ildan offers everyone in the tavern a round of drinks.

MATT: The ceiling actually is considered vaulted ceiling for dwarves so it runs at about seven feet. For Grog, it's uncomfortable, almost scratching your head across the top. As you enter, about seven or eight of the nearby dwarves at the front door go, (hearty laughter). They look immediately at the ragtag non-dwarven group that just stumbled into the center of the tavern. TRAVIS: What're you looking at?

I go grab the drink with the lovely dwarves. LAURA: We grab a table next to the dwarves with Grog. MATT: Both tables next to the table they're at are completely filled with dwarves. LIAM: I take a sack of gold out of my own pocket, slam it down on the table-- LAURA: A sack of gold, are you crazy?! LIAM: Gentlemens and ladies. Ladies and gentlemen, we are traveling from far away. We just arrived from Emon. We are fascinated to see your underground city and to celebrate the occasion I would like to buy every dwarf in here a round. Bartender! MATT: The music stops. The conversation stops. All dwarven eyes turn to the table and they all turn to a single dwarven woman in the back who's behind one of the bars, who has a towel over one arm. She's looking around, she's staring confused at you and all eyes are on her, and she goes, "Well, it's about time someone around here had some generosity! Certainly, pay upfront. Drinks all around on this half-elven gentleman." LIAM: Let it rain! (cheering) MARISHA: Make it rain. TRAVIS: I would like a cask of ale. LIAM: I'll need your largest bowl of ale for this one here. TRAVIS: Cask. Cask of ale. Cask. MATT: "No worries, Adra's got your back, be right back." She wanders off to the back room, comes back and starts pouring stein after stein after stein of ale. TRAVIS: Yeah. Keep going. Looks good. MATT: You do notice she is definitely the head of this tavern and all of her barkeeps are male and seem to be worked rather ragged.

The tavern owner, Adra, appreciates his generosity. Scanlan inquires about some rooms for the night.

MATT: "Do you need them side by side?" SAM: That would be nice. MATT: "We could pull him there and push him into room seven." SAM: Something with a little bed for me. MATT: "Giles!" One of the dwarf barmaiders comes over. "Aye?" "Get Stepheson out of his room, move him to the third floor. We have to open a block for our new guests." "Ugh, fine."

MATT: "Let's say, 100 gold for the week, all five rooms."

After they settle their accounts, Adra warns them not to do any thing "stupid" near the Carvers. Tiberius asks her to elaborate saying, "I do things like that all the time."

The group ask Adra about some local knowledge and they learn from a tavern patron of "things," goblins and the like, pouring out of the caves near the Greyspine Quarry. Grog introduces himself to Balgus, the reigning tavern fighter champion.

MATT: They start showing their scars and are like, "Oh no! I got this one from an iron bolt!" They start talking about different creatures they fought. "All right. Well, the Carvers are a bit of a-- how do I put it? A military class in this city. They run a very tight ship on the streets, so be careful." TALIESIN: That shouldn't be a problem. Mostly we are looking for Lord Greyspine, if I recall. We have business with him. LAURA: We might have business with you, if you've seen a halfling come through. MATT: She thinks to herself and goes, "There was a halfling woman, but she was staying at the Firebrook Inn." LAURA: The Firebrook. MATT: "The bottom floor, for a couple of weeks. There was talk about her. She got in a few fights herself. The one with the silver armor? That one? Yeah, she was a firebrand if ever I saw one. Right up my alley, I like that one." TALIESIN: How long ago would you say this was? MATT: "Oh, she went through a few weeks. I haven't seen her recently." TALIESIN: Thank you. Perfect. TRAVIS: Is there a champion of the circle of fighting in the tavern? Is there a reigning-- SAM: Already, Grog?! TRAVIS: Well, I have to know these things! TALIESIN: He has to do something. MATT: She turns the barrel that she has on the table towards you a little bit and you can see the actual symbol, this burned image on the side that says, "Balgus Brewery." She goes, "That'll be Balgus. The one that supplies us with what you're drinking. He's the undefeated champion. But I don't think he's quite right to fight at the moment." She points towards the very edge of the bar and you see one older grizzled dwarf, long gray hair pulled into straight braids in the back, big bushy beard that's all shoved up into his face because he's asleep, drunk as a skunk, on the edge of the bar. TRAVIS: My type of dwarf. Maybe we'll can use him as a merc later or something. All right, another time then. SAM: Another time. LIAM: Save it for a rainy day. TRAVIS: Does it rain down here? TALIESIN: I don't think they have rainy days. MATT: "You said Greyspine?" LAURA: Yes, Greyspine. TALIESIN: We are looking to set up a meeting. MATT: "Which Greyspine?" SAM: Nostoc? MATT: "Nostoc Greyspine. He's definitely a business type one." ORION: Well who's the friendlier Greypsine? MATT: "The friendlier of the types would probably be the head of House Greyspine." MARISHA: Wait, how many Greypsines are there? MATT: "Oh, well there's probably several at this point, I've lost track. The family line's been going for a while. However, of House Greyspine currently, Ironkeeper Gradim Greyspine is the head of this entire city. Voted in ten years ago, actually. He's head of the council." MARISHA: Ironkeeper what? MATT: "Ironkeeper Gradim Greypsine. Gradim! You're-- (sigh) These commoners. Learn to speak the language!" ORION: I understood! LIAM: Adra, may I ask, obviously we have no dwarves in our little party. MATT: "Unfortunately." LAURA: Unfortunately for us. LIAM: Sorry, about that. You're very welcoming. We appreciate that. How welcoming would you say the city is to outsiders? Would we stick out like a sore thumb? MATT: "Probably. As long as you don't do anything stupid. As long as you keep the coin flowing, and as long as you stay to the upper levels. The lower levels you get to more of the business: the miners, the forges, the foundries. When you get to the business areas, that's where the guard gets heavier and that's where folks don't like you poking near their money." SAM: So the lower levels would have the mithral mines? MATT: "The mithral mine, aye." SAM: There's one? MATT: "There is one now. It's all been, and has been for quite some time, completely helmed up and run by House Greypsine. The Keystone Quarry is what you're looking for." LIAM: We're not really interested in that. We just want to see the city. Our business is elsewhere. MATT: "Yeah, I would not recommend it. Not without proper business credentials on that. You'll end up being questioned very heavily." LIAM: Sounds like a dirty business, anyway. LAURA: Right. TRAVIS: Yeah, you want to stay away from those miners Scanlan, that's a dirty business. MATT: She gives you a look almost like it was a slightly racist statement, but then passes it off because you paid her a lot of coin today. MARISHA: So racist. LAURA: So No-stock. Nostoc? LIAM: Nostoc. LAURA: Nostoc Greyspine. MATT: "Yes." LAURA: You said that he's kind of a--? MATT: "Oh, there's a reason he's the one put in charge of the mines and the businesses and the foundries." LAURA: Oh. Where is he located, exactly? MATT: "Well, if he's not home at the actual Greyspine Manor-- which is a sprawling house. It contains all the ones who live there." TRAVIS: We're going there! MATT: "He's probably down at the actual--" What is it? Pardon. Bear with me. Consult my notes! "He's probably down by the Greyspine quarry itself, keeping an eye on the business there." There's a nearby dwarf having a few drinks, goes, "Ah, Greyspine, there's been troubles round there! Apparently, a friend of mine works there. Got a big, nasty scar last week. Wouldn't even pay him for his time off to heal. It's bullshit!" He slams his drink down on the table. SAM: Down at the quarry? MATT: "Aye." MARISHA: How did your friend get this nasty cut? MATT: "He works there! Said there was things pouring out of the caves. Goblins and the like!" LAURA: Goblins? MATT: "Ah, goblins are nothing." LAURA: Of course not. MATT: "Seems there's something other than goblins poking out through this hole. Just saying, that business is in for a serious problem if it doesn't change." LAURA: Does your friend ever have drinks here? "No. He's been sober for two years. We're not friends anymore." Tugs on his beard a little bit. MARISHA: Oh. I'm sorry. I think. SAM: A lot to process. MATT: He pours another drink. At which point, Adra slaps his hand and says, "Pay that. He bought one round!" He finishes his drink and walks away. ORION: Excuse me, one thing, Adra, are there any mystics in this particular town that study any arcane arts? MATT: "Of course! What, you think dwarves are just the baseline folks who brawl each other?" MARISHA: So many racist comments. Jeez! MATT: "What you're looking for is House Thunderbrand. They are the ones who, by blood, have the arcane arts in their family line." ORION: Interesting. MATT: "They run most of the enchantment process in the city, they also train-- they call it train, some of us call it more 'indoctrination.' But, they're definitely the focus of all arcane arts here in Kraghammer." ORION: Thank you. SAM: Thank you for your time, Adra. Carry on with your evening. We'll seek you out if we have any more questions. MATT: "Certainly. Now if you don't mind," She scoots you aside, and you see a line, a queue of dwarves behind her, with their empty cups, waiting to get to her to fill up the drinks that you bought. MARISHA: Oh, that's-- we did promise that. LIAM: Enjoy, gentlemen! And lady. LAURA: What time of day is it? MATT: Best that you can tell, inside-- you can't. You just arrived, probably around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon, so you're probably pushing sunset right about now. LAURA: Do dwarves carry the same schedule? MARISHA: I don't know. LAURA: Does anyone know? TALIESIN: There's only one way to find out. MATT: Make an intelligence check! TRAVIS: Oh! Roll it! You're the first one. LIAM: First die rolling. Nice! LAURA: 18, plus, what is that? Investigation? Or insight? MATT: This would be a straight intelligence roll on this one, so your general knowledge of dwarves. LAURA: Oh. 20, then. MATT: 20. That's not too bad! In your experience, you know dwarves, depending on their lifestyle and what they do for a living, their clocks can run differently, but for the most part, they run in tandem with most other races just because it makes it easier for dealing with outside forces. But, like I said, it's very variable. There is no set, locked time of: this is morning, this is evening, they just sleep when they need to and wake up when they need to. LAURA: All right. Good to know. MARISHA: It's like living in Alaska. LAURA: Right! MATT: Dwarven Alaska. SAM: Yes, fellows, what should we do? LAURA: Check out the Firebrook Inn, yes. That was where Lady Kima was staying. Also, I think somebody should run reconnaissance on Greyspine Manor. TRAVIS: Like stealth, you mean? LIAM: Yes. I don't think we should try to go directly to the mines and find Nostoc. LAURA: No. SAM: Agreed. LIAM: No, I think maybe we should enlist the help of a dwarf here in the city to introduce us to Nostoc. I mean, we're not trying to raise hell, or bring down a thousand dwarves upon us. TALIESIN: There's no sense attempting to be subtle. SAM: Although, that does sound fun. TALIESIN: Everyone's going to know that we're here, and what we're looking for by morning. TRAVIS: Why don't we get old Drunky Greybeard that's got his face down on the bar to do it? LAURA: Yeah, but he's very-- Well, let's ask him. Maybe he's drunk enough to help us. Saddle up, Grog! TRAVIS: Me? LAURA: People seem to like you here. TRAVIS: Yeah, but I'm really-- oh, that's true. LIAM: You're the connoisseur. TRAVIS: Maybe I'll part my armor, so he can see the scar. Post up on the bar. MARISHA: Take him a drink! TRAVIS: All right. LAURA: Yes, take him a drink. A very large drink. TRAVIS: I would like to get the largest goblet you have of ale, and I would like to go over to, what was his name? Bulbous? MATT: Balgus. ALL: Balgus. TRAVIS: I had it right. MATT: Close. TRAVIS: Balgus. I would like to-- SAM: I'm coming with Grog. TRAVIS: Yes. I would like to go up and put my scar, and post up on the bar and (throat clearing) MATT: (snores) TRAVIS: (louder throat clearing) SAM: I take out my flute and I play a little Healing Words spell and try to heal him of his drunkenness. LAURA: Just a little of his drunkenness, not all of his drunkenness. TRAVIS: He likes him drunk, so maybe like, half. MATT: You play your tune, a beautiful little tune that saunters through the air.The magical energies emanate from the notes you make, drift into his torso; you can see a slight glow and he, "(grumbling) Where's that blasted music coming from?" His hand goes out and paws towards the flute. SAM: Huh, I don't know where that was coming from. TRAVIS: I'm sorry to disturb you, your name is of great repute around these parts. MATT: He wipes a globule of drool that's crusted into his beard. "Aye, you've bothered me nap. What do you want from Balgus?" TRAVIS: We were wondering if we might, perchance, acquire your knowledge about town, for a bit of a search. LAURA: (whispered) Talk to him about fighting first. TRAVIS: Right, I hear you're a good fighter. You look strong. MATT: "I've heard the same." TRAVIS: Right. How often do you get challengers in this tavern? MATT: "Not as often as I get woken up from my sleep. Which is never. Because only stupid people do that." LAURA: Lost cause. Abandon ship! TRAVIS: Right. I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing. LAURA: Okay. TRAVIS: There is a very pretty lady over there, with slightly pointy ears. (whispering) I'm talking about you or you. (normal volume) There's two of them! They were actually wanting to ask you a question if you wouldn't mind. MATT: Make a persuasion roll. TRAVIS: Me?! SAM: Why is he doing this? LAURA: Why would you throw this to us? MARISHA: I know! TRAVIS: Because I was either going to fight him or I was going to throw boobs at him, and I went with boobs.

Keyleth and Vex try flirting with him. Keyleth tries to stroke his muscled arm and gets her hand slapped away for her awkwardness. "

No touching the drunk dwarf." Vex has better luck stroking his ego and he tells her what he thinks of the Greyspines, they're "ass minds".

MATT: As your arm reaches for his bicep, his hand, belying his grumpy, half-asleep haze-- with unnatural speed reaches out and slaps your hand to the side. Not painfully, but just, "No touching the drunk dwarf." LAURA: Sorry about my friend, Balgus. She's just so impressed with your muscles. We've heard amazing things about you here. MATT: "Have you?" LAURA: We have. MATT "Tell me, what have you heard?" LAURA: We've heard that no fighter can match your skill. MATT: "You've heard correct."

Anyway, my associates and I were wondering if you might come-- Is that what we're doing? Trying to get him to come with us? LAURA: Anyway! SAM: We're trying to find out more about Greyspine. Where he might be or who his associates might be. MARISHA: Gee, I'm so glad you came over. ORION: Would you like to accompany us on this journey that we're taking? We're trying to find the Greyspines and you seem like you would want to come in on this. TALIESIN: We think there might be something rotten in the mines. MATT: Make a persuasion roll. You can assist if you like. TALIESIN: I'm assisting in this persuasion roll, good god. MATT: That just means he has advantage. ORION: Oh, I get advantage? TALIESIN: 21. MATT: Yeah, so you get advantage on this roll. SAM: So you roll twice. MARISHA: What was the first thing you rolled? ORION: Three. I'll take the 18. MARISHA: Definitely take that 18. ORION: Oh and plus my-- MARISHA: Persuasion. MATT: He looks at you keenly, which-- ORION: Which is a nine. LAURA: Whoa, you have a nine persuasion?! ORION: That's why I talk. MARISHA: He's pretty charismatic. MATT: He goes, "Well no, I don't really want to go anywhere with you. But if you're looking to go ahead and talk to the Greyspines, you don't want to go empty-handed. It's customary to come with a gift of some kind."

Tiberius interrupts and with Percy's help manages to learn that they should take a gift when meeting Nostoc Greyspine and he offers them a barrel of a rare vintage of Thistle Branch Dark Blood Wine from his own brewery for 500 gold. Vex haggles him down to one cup of congealed dragon blood.

MATT: He goes, "Well no, I don't really want to go anywhere with you. But if you're looking to go ahead and talk to the Greyspines, you don't want to go empty-handed.

MATT: "I have some fine, very rare, very exotic drinks that I could, perchance, sell to you." LIAM: Pay the dwarf. LAURA: How much for this exotic ale? MATT: "How exotic you wanting?" LAURA: We want to get in the door. We want him to like us. MATT: "I can give you the finest of thistle branch, dark blood wine. This was crafted by myself, from a rare bloodthistle branch that I had brought over from the far-off city of Kamordah. This, I personally oversaw. It took me four years to fill this barrel full. It'll cost you 500 gold pieces. But it is a king's red wine!" MARISHA: Can I do a persuasion check-- a perception check to see if he's lying? MATT: This would be insight. Go ahead and roll insight. TALIESIN: I'm going to go walk over to Grog really quickly. MARISHA: 27. MATT: He seems too drunk to lie. SAM: Let's just do it. LAURA: Tell you what, Balgus.

Well, we've got-- MATT: "My time is far worth the 500 gold you've already been talking about." LAURA: We've got this with us right now. TRAVIS: We've got a bunch of dragon pieces. ORION: Do you like dragon pieces? TRAVIS: We've got 37 dragon teeth, one dragon eye, four cups of dragon blood-- LAURA: We've got this cup of dragon blood! Which I know can be added to ale or wine and makes it quite sensational. MATT: He takes the sealed cup and sloshes it around in his hand.

MATT: "I can have this appraised, but if you want to do a straight trade for the barrel for this, I'll take you up on that." LAURA: Shit, no. SAM: Just go for it. LAURA: All right, fine! One cup of it. MATT: "All right." He takes the cup, puts it in a small satchel on his side. "Adra!" "Aye, what do you want, you drunken bastard?" "They've bought me thistle blood wine. Take it out back. Here's the key." He tosses her the key. She grabs it and goes, "Really? Ooh, just walked in, they're buying fancy." She comes back with two of her barmaiders who are begrudgingly carrying it with her. It's a nice barrel. It has a gold trim. The actual bands that hold the wood together is gold. The branding on the side is gold leafed into the wood. It's fine, exquisite, we're talking top shelf BevMo-style, awesome dwarven wine. MARISHA: Top shelf at BevMo! MATT: He pats it and he goes, "All yours. If this doesn't get you in the door, I'll eat my shoe." TRAVIS: Have you ever done that? MATT: "Maybe, I forget a lot of nights." SAM: Where might that door be? MATT: "Minute's up, you'll have to ask around, but it was great doing business with you." He walks away from the table. TRAVIS: I put it in the bag of holding. MATT: It does not fit in the bag of holding. LAURA: What?! MATT: The barrel is too big, you barely got Dork the ox in there. Which, for the record, they did fit a small ox in the bag of holding and then realized later on that there was no airflow. TRAVIS: He came out! TALIESIN: I feel like we weren't going to discuss that. I felt that that was in the past. MATT: I felt that was a necessary story. SAM: Maybe if we drank some of it it would fit. LAURA: The troll dick. Is that still in there or no? TRAVIS: No, we actually got rid of the troll dick. LAURA: Oh, okay. TALIESIN: Did we trade the troll dick for something? MARISHA: I thought we like used it as a weapon. TRAVIS: I offered it up, but by that time it had turned into a slimy-- LAURA: Ew. MARISHA: I thought we threw it at somebody. LAURA: Can I stop Adra then and ask her where Greyspine Manor is? Keep, manor, whatever. MATT: "Ah, well I can have him do it." She pokes one of the barmaiders who turns around. This one's younger, he looks like he's frazzled and maybe new here or at least trying to make his way. He goes, "Okay, I can show you around, just follow me outside, come follow me." He walks out. He's got a little apron on. He leads you guys outside. He brings you to the edge of the outer walkway of the central ring you're on. He points across the way and what you can see is a series of marble pillars that outline a residential district that opens and consumes the other side of the central ring of Kraghammer. He says, "If you go past far in that way, you'll look for the house of Greyspine. It's the one that has dark black marble with gold tinting inside the spiralling vein of the marble, it's gold.

It's going to be full of trouble. SAM: All right, yes, let's go sleep. TRAVIS: Let's sleep. LAURA: Well, it's only 6 00. SAM: Well, then we have time to do other things. ORION: How long is a short rest? MATT: Short rest is around ten minutes or so. ORION: I want to take short rest. MATT: You've technically been short resting in the tavern. It's more of like a post battle-- like, take a breather, bandage your wounds, settle yourself after a harrowing experience. That's what a short rest is. ORION: What was the arcane magic, the manor? MATT: Oh, what you're looking for is the House Thunderbrand. ORION: I want to head in that direction. MATT: Okay, so you're dividing from the party? Okay. ORION: Oh, I'm going to House Thunderbrand, if anybody wants to come with me. LAURA: What are you doing? I can't understand you with that popcorn in your mouth. ORION: Sorry! I'm going to House Thunderbrand before turning in this evening. I've had a nice little short rest and I would like to ask them a few questions. LAURA: All right. TRAVIS: Yeah, go ahead, okay. SAM: Is there any recon that's going to happen tonight? LAURA: I think that you and I are going to go to Greyspine?
