Last Bast
What happens
- 00:00:38 Cold open: Aabria's new greeting ("wondrous weasels"); the cast jokes that she is running out of names for them.
- 00:01:20 Recap: the bear, the visions of the Blue, the writing, Lila's new ability to read, the days of walking, and the family at the foot of a massive rocky outcropping with a "building" on top.
- 00:02:57 The family reacts to a burrow built above ground; Aabria asks for a batch of Investigation checks (Tula natural 20 for 19; Thorn Helps Lila).
- 00:04:26 First scan: Tula looks with "soft eyes" and reads the paths; Lila thinks the Blue "is made here"; Viola listens to the ground and hears "so many" and deep.
- 00:08:39 Debate: Lila wants to climb it; Tula wants caution; Jaysohn is hungry and bites a rock (Con save 15 with Viola's aura).
- 00:10:16 Viola lets Tula lead; Tula says they cannot arrive with nothing to give; Jaysohn smells meat and floats off after the scent.
- 00:12:08 Ava looks for a gift or a show of force; Lila asks about windows; the family splits and rejoins; Viola announces Sanctuary on Jaysohn, then says it is only protectiveness (not cast); Thorn asks Teedles to keep watch.
- 00:17:00 Tula decides they knock politely; Jaysohn will not turn back; the family follows Jaysohn to "the food hole".
- 00:20:10 Jaysohn leaps ahead and finds a chain-link fence over a pen of hundreds of living rabbits; the pen goes quiet.
- 00:22:20 Tula wants to leave ("too much food"); Lila reads a sign on the fence: "remember, only catch the rabbits that see you coming."
- 00:24:42 The family debates how to get food; Olliver warns that they would be taken for poachers; Tula decides Thorn and Viola will talk to the locals.
- 00:27:38 Ava asks Thorn about using other animals; Jaysohn (Survival) and Lila (Investigation) search for a stoat, with advantage.
- 00:30:41 Tula coaches the children (a disease in the warren, no Blue, bear or smoke); Ava grooms Lila and warns her; Siobhan's natural 20 finds a hunt.
- 00:34:14 Jaysohn sees fifty stoats chasing a huge spiny elk and runs after it; Thorn and Ava follow; Tula tells Lila to look after him.
- 00:36:44 The hunt: stoats with metal canisters and prods push lightning into the elk's ankle; Ava reads the formation; Thorn spots a loose shale shelf.
- 00:43:46 Thorn dashes ahead, is struck by lightning and reappears to wave the herd off (Persuasion natural 20); the leader follows his sign.
- 00:47:13 Jaysohn returns to Tula and Viola; they find three hurt stoats: Fenneck, Sybil, and one dead; Viola heals Sybil with Aid.
- 00:53:38 Sybil introduces herself; Viola says the family came from a dusty warren; Sybil names "Last Bast".
- 00:56:33 Thousands of stoats; Lila learns of numbers; Lila asks about the sign, the Light and the Blue; Sybil is relaxed about it all.
- 01:00:39 Tula gives the family count; Lila and Jaysohn tell Sybil about the poison, the bear and the chipmunks; Viola hands Lila the mask.
- 01:04:24 Tula reads Sybil with Insight 24 and sees comfort with violence; Sybil stands upright and walks on two feet; the children copy.
- 01:09:22 Ava in the hunt: she attacks the elk, grapples, uses Action Surge and Reckless Attack, is knocked down for 17 damage, rallies the group and meets the leader.
- 01:20:22 The elk is herded into a concrete pit and a door drops; Ava is told she apologized; she finds Thorn and meets Bennett.
- 01:24:04 Introductions with Bennett; handshakes; a bone pops in his paw when Ava shakes it; Tula heals him with Lay on Hands.
- 01:27:44 Lila "can read"; Bennett explains writing and reading; the squadron will rest.
- 01:30:03 Viola inspects a canister pack (Persuasion 21, Investigation 7) and recalls her vision; Tula reads Bennett with Insight 28.
- 01:38:06 Bennett leads them to the rabbit pen and kills a rabbit; Ava learns to kill one (Athletics 14); Bennett asks if she is single.
- 01:42:54 They enter Last Bast through a hole in a concrete wall; the vast interior; Bennett welcomes them; asked what was driven out of the burrow, he answers "Human."
- 01:46:26 Lila studies the sash (Intelligence 13) and Bennett recites the creed of Last Bast; 20 winters; the stoats write things down.
- 01:50:40 "Welcome home"; session ends at 01:50:52.
- 01:50:56 "Next time" clip (see Table talk).
