The Horizon Beyond the Squall

0:00:00 Brennan: Hello one and all, and welcome to the thrilling conclusion of Dimension 20's, Pirates of Leviathan. I am your humble dungeon master Brennan Lee Mulligan, with me as always are our Buccaneer Buddies. Say hi Buccaneer Buddies.

0:00:16 Players: Hi Buccaneer Buddies.

0:00:19 Brennan: Oh, perfect. Last we left off our piratical pals, they were atop the Ramble, the giant tavern that overlooks all of the facets of Leviathan, where the elders of the pirate folk gather to share their tales and stories of the code, and days gone by. On the balcony underneath the visage of Jane Wren's figure head, in the room of Tulwar Zuhari-Royce and all of his vast treasures, beneath the minaret of the copper infernal lamp at the top of the roof under the storm, of the Storm King coming to reclaim his daughter, we left our companions in pitched combat. We have on the balcony having just sent his traitorous first mate to a briny death at the bottom of the sea Jack Brakkow, who leapt to the roof, crushed two skeletons and got Cheese underneath his protection. Cheese has just vomited a bunch of salt water after shattering skeletons with a magic yo-yo, and seeing the top of the infernal lamp in his sight, two harpies to either side, and Alamaria, druid of the Storm King and keeper of the stone tablet bearing the daughter of the storm stands before you. Just to their side, surrounded by the remaining skeletons is Myrtle, the bitch of the deep, here with divine wrath on her mind, working on behalf of her mistress Umberlee. Directly beneath you on the roof inside of the chamber, dealing with the few remaining soldiers of the Crescent Moon Trading Company are Sunny Biscotto, dealing death on behalf of the Goddess of the Horizon and Barbarella Sasparilla Gainglynn, AKA Bob, with a scintillating gown and even more scintillating crossbow made of light, both finishing up those who would have saw it to destroy Sunny's mentor Tulwar. And not too far away in an attic put together with tons of rafters, shadows, dust, sawdust on the floor is Marcid the Typhoon, slinking through the darkness towards the shape of Monsieur Langley Sheffield-Harrington, his former employer. Thunder rolls, Alamaria has not lost concentration on this ritual. But our heroes are still standing. The moment is fast approaching for our pirates to save the city of Leviathan. And with that, we leap directly back into initiative.

0:03:15 Aabria: So we all took a long rest and I get all my hit points back, right?

0:03:18 B. Dave: [as Marcid] Yeah, no, that's what I felt happened between there, we just like take a little siesta, yeah.

0:03:23 Aabria: I'm just at the one, just the one?

0:03:25 B. Dave: You only need the one darlin', you only need the one.

0:03:28 Aabria: Cool, please don't get hit, thank you.

0:03:30 B. Dave: I told ya, I don't plan too.

0:03:36 Brennan: Marcid.

0:03:36 B. Dave: Aye.

0:03:40 Brennan: You are slinking through the shadows. This attic is clearly not intended as a storage space. It really is more about just containing the wooden structure to hold the sort of slanted roof aloft. So there's very few places where you can run straight away because there is diagonal wooden slats connected to large wooden columns.

0:04:09 B. Dave: Right.

0:04:10 Brennan: You are slinking through the dark here, your long bugbear arms moving you through the darkness. You can see there is a small 15 foot by 15 foot square directly under the pinnacle of the roof. It's about 40 feet away from you right now, through this kind of difficult terrain.

0:04:34 B. Dave: Right, well, couple of things there, mate. Let me ask you a question. Since this is my favored terrain, I'm not supposed to have any difficult terrain, is that true, or is it still gonna slow me down a little?

0:04:48 Brennan: Fuck me, rangers, yeah you're golden, man.

0:04:52 B. Dave: (laughs) You mentioned earlier my man Cheese did some structural damage, do I see that anywhere in here? [normal voice] I didn't see him do it, but can I tell anything is broken?

0:05:05 Brennan: You see there is a chimney in the center of that 15 foot by 15 foot clearing, and in fact there are another couple chimneys, brick structures coming up here to meet the top of the roof. This chimney is bullshit and the Shatter spell broke it. Hey, put it on my gravestone, this chimney is bullshit.

0:05:27 B. Dave: This chimney, along with sleeves, right?

0:05:29 Brennan: You've never seen someone being this mad at a chimney before. But red infernal light gleams through the cracks where Cheese’s spell hit it. Clearly this is a brick casing for the infernal lamp to hide it within the attic here.

0:05:52 B. Dave: So here's what I would like to do, as a 24 on me stealth to come sneaking in by the way. I realize, everybody thinks I'm gonna come and just do stabby murder, and I am. But one other thing about bugbears is we's big and strong. So I want to grab either this chimney or something that looks structurally significant and break it. I want to break the roof, so the machine falls down from the roof. That is my goal.

0:06:23 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:06:25 B. Dave: As a bugbear, I count as large 'cause I'm powerfully built so I can move a thousand pounds. And so I just need to find the right place. And I have a thing I wanna do, if I can.

0:06:41 Brennan: Let me go ahead, this has already taken 15 points of damage, oh sorry, this has taken seven points of damage 'cause it's saved, but Shatter deals twice as much damage to objects, so yeah 15. So it's partially cracked, you're looking at it, but give me a perception check.

0:07:05 B. Dave: Hmm, 18.

0:07:08 Brennan: Hell yes. With an 18 you see the light breaking through. You see the light breaking through the brick wall.

0:07:19 B. Dave: Right.

0:07:19 Brennan: On an 18, you hear someone else in the attic here with you. But you cannot see them. You think maybe they can't see you, but you can't see them. You would have to damage this a little bit more. You don't think that this thing necessarily is going to be easy to destroy. In other words, it's going to have, it's suffered some damage already, which means that it won't need that much more damage, but it's gonna have a high armor class and it's going to have a high damage threshold.

0:08:03 B. Dave: But I, I can't just grab it and bulldog it? Like, I mean, 'cause I'm-

0:08:08 Brennan: No, it's fully sealed in a brick chimney. It's cracked, but you've got to like smash through these bricks to get it.

0:08:14 B. Dave: New plan. Presumably I cannot Hunter’s Mark an inanimate object, I assume.

0:08:20 Brennan: Correct.

0:08:21 B. Dave: Okay, right. Well then, even though-

0:08:24 Carlos: What are you hunting? Chimneys.

0:08:26 B. Dave: Chimneys. (Carlos laughs)

0:08:30 Matt: His father got stuck in one. Dressed as Santa one Christmas, you've seen Gremlins.

0:08:36 B. Dave: I realize there's someone else in here with me. Well what's the, the lowest I got was the dirty 20 to attack. Do I need more than that?

0:08:47 Brennan: You do not need more than that.

0:08:50 B. Dave: Right, okay. Then in that case I do… 12… 17…

0:08:55 Brennan: And let me know how much damage you do for each attack.

0:08:58 B. Dave: So the first one is going to be 10.

0:09:02 Brennan: Okay.

0:09:03 B. Dave: The second one is going to be 12.

0:09:07 Brennan: Okay.

0:09:08 Dave: The third one is going to be 10 again. As I essentially explode out of the darkness, [mimes aggressive hits] start bashing on that, trying to get it to break open.

0:09:15 Carlos: Fuck that chimney.

0:09:23 B. Dave: Expressly my goal is I want the machine to fall. Even if that means that it comes down over my head, I'll try and get out of the way of it. But I figure away from the Druid people is optimal. So overtly I'm trying to get it to come down.

0:09:38 Brennan: Hell yeah. You rush this thing. You've never tried to murder a piece of architecture before, but-

0:09:48 B. Dave: Does Jack's wall count?

0:09:49 Brennan: (laughs) That's true, actually. God I'm wrong, you have murdered architecture canonically within game.

0:09:57 Krystina: That was so long ago.

0:09:58 Brennan: This, I'm not gonna lie, is enough damage to normally demolish how many hit points this has left. Unfortunately, this thing has a damage threshold of exactly 10, which means that 12 points of damage in the second attack goes through. You slam, slam, a bunch of the bricks fall down, revealing this lamp structure, revealing the lamp in front of you. You now see it, you could get your hands on it, but you've used your three attacks.

0:10:30 B. Dave: Right.

0:10:32 Brennan: Is there anything else from Marcid that turn?

0:10:35 B. Dave: That is two attacks and a bonus, so that is, I don't even yell, I figure that my friends are either gonna figure this out on their own or they're otherwise occupied. So just-

0:10:45 Brennan: Hell yeah, man.

0:10:46 B. Dave: Task in hand. I will take the time to try and inform Stimey about what I've done. I'm like,

0:10:52 Marcid: Stimey, I'm taking out the device.

0:10:55 Stimey: Well, very good sir, congratulations. You show that chimney who's boss. [laughs]

0:11:03 Marcid: Maybe you could set up camp here buddy, it might be a nicer environment for you.

0:11:07 Stimey: Well, that depends on what the lady Alycon prefers. Oh, I'm so sorry, that's very-

0:11:13 Marcid: I'm definitely in Avernus, like apparently there's some infernal charm from this device, and it's taking me straight to hell now. (Brennan laughs)

0:11:27 Brennan: You see, tale as old as time, a trident falling in love with a wall full of mold. Cool, Stimey communicates everyone else and says,

0:11:39 Stimey: Hey there everyone, just to let you know, Master Marcid has found himself in the attic and he's goin' after a chimney something fierce. Looks like there's some kind of lantern in it. (laughs)

0:11:52 Brennan: So you know where Marcid is, and what, loosely what he's up too. Next in the initiative order is Bob.

0:12:01 Krystina: So I just have a question. The two big, bad guys are on the roof, right? Like a little bit up from me.

0:12:08 Brennan: Yes. You see in here Tulwar looks okay, and Sunny is kicking the shit out of the soldiers who are left in here. The last you saw, there were two big villains on the roof, yes.

0:12:23 Krystina: Are there still two villains on the roof?

0:12:27 Brennan: Well, you would have to go investigate, but you would know that Langley, I mean, out of character, Langley left the roof and Alamaria is still up there doing the ritual.

0:12:39 Krystina: Okay. So I'd like to make my way out to the balcony so that, or whatever gets me within 120 feet of Alamaria.

0:12:49 Brennan: Yes, you go out to the balcony and do you need line of sight? You need to be able to see her for this to work?

0:12:57 Krystina: No.

0:12:57 Brennan: Okay. You go out to the balcony.

0:13:03 Krystina: Oh fantastic. So you start to see my musical notes come out of my fingers on both hands, and then out of all of my fingers.

0:13:14 Bob: ♪ The lightning engulfed me and coursed through my veins ♪ ♪ Guided through battle to win this refrain ♪ ♪ May my hand be consistent ♪ ♪ Let my light be true ♪ ♪ Oh guiding bolts I am counting on you ♪

0:13:31 Krystina: And I would like to let my bolt go towards Alamaria's temple.

0:13:36 Brennan: Oh, baby, go ahead and roll your attack roll.

0:13:44 Krystina: That's 15. 24.

0:13:49 Brennan: 24. That is a definite hit. Go ahead and roll 4d6.

0:13:58 Krystina: Oh, I'm rolling it at third level.

0:14:00 Brennan: Oh, you don't say.

0:14:04 Krystina: [gleefully] I do. 28.

0:14:15 Brennan: Oh my God. You see, Bob, you whoosh, with your radiant wings fly up, and again on the other side of the sky, a break in the storm clouds. And though we see the sun all the way towards the western sky, from that place where the wind broke through to show Sunny the horizon, the far eastern sky as the sun is setting, starlight breaks through from the nighttime sky approaching, and your musical notes shine with the light of the stars. And you feel from far, far away, a distant kiss being blown to you from heavenly skies above. Accompanying that, brutal gore as your musical notes flash forward and (yells), Alamaria is going to roll.

0:15:10 Krystina: [crosses her fingers] Oh, oh bonus action, bonus action.

0:15:13 Brennan: Go for it.

0:15:16 Krystina: Hold on. Give me 2.5 seconds. Okay. I would also like to say,

0:15:19 Bob: Oh no, you don't.

0:15:22 Krystina: And I would like to cast Cutting Word.

0:15:27 Brennan: [gasps then laughs] Yeah, Cutting Words. You use Bardic Inspiration to do cutting words to her. Okay, hold on one second. I'm going to roll this save. She took 24 points of damage, so she needs a 12 or higher. We're gonna roll her constitution save right now. Okay. She got a 17.

0:15:53 Krystina: That's a 12, subtract five.

0:15:57 B. Dave: Cutting words take it away.

0:15:59 Brennan: Okay, take away five, take away five from 18, that is-

0:16:04 Krystina: 17.

0:16:05 Brennan: 17, take away from 17, that is 12, which is exactly what she needs to pass, oh no. You, but what does Bob say with her Cutting Words to Alamaria as Alamaria looks up at her?

0:16:20 Bob: Listen, ♪ Whatever you do, I hope you fail ♪ ♪ May your next attack should be of no avail. ♪ ♪ Should these cutting words get through to you ♪ ♪ Your next attempt against us will fall through ♪

0:16:34 Brennan: Alamaria looks looks up at you for a moment and goes like,

0:16:35 Alamaria: You wrote a whole song just to be mean to me?

0:16:41 Brennan: And then goes,

0:16:41 Alamaria: My spell!

0:16:41 Brennan: Grabs the concentration,

0:16:45 Alamaria: Keep your head in the game Alamaria, we're returning the daughter to the Storm King, stay with it.

0:16:50 Brennan: Incredible turn from Bob, huge guiding bolt, and importantly, we see that Bob's radiance is surrounding Alamaria giving advantage on the next attack roll against her. Cheese, that is your turn.

0:17:04 Carlos: Cheese here. So Cheese, oh God, for the second time in less, probably less than 24 hours, he has been knocked out. And for the second time he has been brought back by Queen Myrtle, the Bitch. And after he throws up, he looks behind him and realizes like what has happened. That he has been brought back once again by Queen Myrtle, the Bitch, and Cheese thinks to himself,

0:17:38 Cheese: I'm no longer Cheese the Little, the little gnome. I'm Cheese, Prince Bitch. (all laugh) Krystina laughs so hard she has to fan herself to keep from crying.

0:17:59 Brennan: He makes a beeline to Alamaria and he wants to cast a spell that he's been too afraid to ever cast. When he learned it from Milo and Winnie, it was just labeled Master Blaster on it with a skull, a crudely drawn skull and crossbones on it. He's going to cast Fireball on Alamaria.

0:18:29 Brennan: As you begin to sprint up the deck of the ship, you're short legs, you're struggling to crawl, it's difficult terrain, the rain's coming down. You're struggling, you're struggling. You see Alamaria looks, as you sprint away from Jack, she looks at you with familiarity. She goes,

0:18:44 Alamaria: Oh, a darling little forest gnome. We have one who looks just like you back home. I think you'd be a nice addition to our collection.

0:19:04 Brennan: And you see she recognizes your brother's face on you.

0:19:10 Carlos: Oh, that is not good. (Brennan laughs)

0:19:17 Carlos: Cheese, yeah, 31 points of damage. Cheese is pissed off. And finally has found, like tapped into that anger. And like it doesn't need to be like pure rage like Jack, or anger like Marcid, it can be sad at the same time. Cheese has tapped into whatever those feelings are that you feel at all times, 'cause it doesn't need to be pure. And he's just like,

0:19:48 Cheese: You know what?

0:19:53 Carlos: And like the Fireball is starting to build, like that sound of (imitates whirring) starts building in his hands. And he's just like,

0:20:02 Cheese: You know what? I let fear rule me my entire life. Fear of being too small, too scrawny, too soft. It's inflicted every part of my life and it's dominated me. It has been my king. But there are no kings here. No kings for this captain. (Carlos imitates an explosion)

0:20:47 Brennan: Raging Fireball shoots out across the deck. We're gonna roll some saving throws, gang. This one, let's go, harpy number one. 3 is not gonna do it, neither is a 9. And now we're going to go Alamaria. Let's see here, okay. On a natural 7 she fails and takes the full 31 points of damage. You see both harpies take flight right at you. For a moment Cheese's shadow blasts across the back of the roof, scattered over the city. Your coat whips out behind you as the blast of heat and wind consumes the top, and for a moment, the fire is hot enough that in the soaking rain, the front of your coat is dry and your face is hot with the fire, boom. Both harpies are gone in a screech of charred bone and feathers. Alamaria is flung back, her magic wrapping around her to keep her alive. She still stands, but we are going to make the roll of all rolls now which is her concentration check, 31 points of damage, 15, she’s gotta roll 13 or higher. [rolls the die, slowly looks up] Fire surrounds her, your Trapper Keeper flatters in the wind. (yells) Your eyes light, you're in the Lake of Fire again. You're not just doing magic, you are magic. You are in magic, you were born to magic. Magic is the road you travel the rest of your life. You are a true wizard. (imitates explosion) (screams) Ripples across the storm clouds, Alamaria loses concentration on the spell. The harpies begin to vanish from the sky. You have robbed her of this union with her god and broken the spell, incredible.

0:23:28 Carlos: [exhales] I feel like I was there.

0:23:28 Brennan: (laughs) And now it is Alamaria's turn. She cries out, just screams raw pain. And she looks at you and says,

0:23:59 Alamaria: What have you done, what have you done!

0:24:03 Brennan: She looks around and says

0:24:03 Alamaria: Fine, fine, I will start the ritual again, and finish you off first.

0:24:10 Brennan: And she is going to cast Call Lightning. As she calls on that lightning, she is going to use a higher level spell slot to juice it up a little bit. I'm going to need a dexterity saving throw from Cheese.

0:24:40 Carlos: 20, not natural.

0:24:46 Brennan: 20, not natural. Okay, so you save for half, hold on one second.

0:24:59 B. Dave: This is very derivative, I have to say.

0:25:04 Brennan: Six, 18, she deals 25 points of damage to you, Cheese.

0:25:11 Carlos: So 12 damage?

0:25:11 Brennan: Oh yeah, 12 damage. Yes, yes, yes.

0:25:13 Carlos: Okay. Cheese is still up.

0:25:16 Cheese: The cheese stands alone. (all laughing)

0:25:22 Brennan: Good looking out with that higher level Cure Wounds, Myrtle. Cheese, you get struck by lightning and still stand. You see little like spinning circles of runes around your hand made of pure light as you throw up some kind of charm to stop the magic from working to you, on you at full effect. You got this, baby! She just goes,

0:25:43 Alamaria: What? You should be dead!

0:25:47 Cheese: Oh man, you tried to make me fondue, that's a fondon't.

0:25:56 Brennan: Oh my God. In this moment of triumph and success, we cut back to the attic. Marcid, you have broken the chimney. You hear footsteps behind you.

0:26:11 Marcid: Come on then, mate.

0:26:16 Brennan: First thing I'm going to need-

0:26:17 B. Dave: My AC is currently 18.

0:26:20 Brennan: Awesome. That is a hit, I'm gonna need a strength saving throw from Marcid.

0:26:31 B. Dave: This is about to be a problem by the way, for another reason, that is an 18 also.

0:26:36 Brennan: Oh, trip attack. You do not go down, but you do take nine points of damage.

0:26:45 B. Dave: Which is cut in half, which means-

0:26:51 Brennan: Let me, I just wanna see something though, is Warding Bond a concentration spell Myrtle?

0:26:55 Aabria: It is not.

0:26:55 B. Dave: It is not.

0:26:58 Brennan: Does it depend on you being-

0:27:01 B. Dave: Within 60 feet.

0:27:03 Aabria: He's directly under me.

0:27:04 Brennan: Yes, under you, I also wanna make sure, “if the spell ends or if you drop to zero hit points, or if you and the target become separated,” yes. Okay, so you are not going to be murdered with failed death saving throws as Marcid is further stabbed.

0:27:19 Aabria: Yeah.

0:27:19 B. Dave: Uh-huh.

0:27:20 Brennan: Copy that.

0:27:23 B. Dave: But I do feel like I feel the bond break, and I'm like,

0:27:25 Marcid: Ah, no. [looks up]

0:27:29 Brennan: All you see, a jagged laceration open over Myrtle's heart as she collapses to the roof at zero hit points. You hear a voice behind you with a dagger in your back and you hear Langley say,

0:27:52 Marcid: Marcid, I thought that we got along so well.

0:27:59 Brennan: And two more attacks are coming your way.

0:28:03 B. Dave: Now my AC's 17 by the way, since that broke.

0:28:05 Brennan: Copy that. That's gonna be, oh my god. Marcid takes further 28 points of damage.

0:28:23 B. Dave: I'm all right. No problem.

0:28:29 Matt: That's my Typhoon.

0:28:34 Brennan: As Langley flashes out with his rapier twice.

0:28:39 Langley: Marcid, you've made life so difficult for me. What did I ever do to you, other than frame you?

0:28:47 Marcid: Framing me for mass fucking murder, sir.

0:28:53 Langley: Okay, you were handsomely paid. Look, a contract is a contract and the forgery is a part of the contract, if you really think about it. Look, I don't have time to get into it. I just find this all so tedious, don't you?

0:29:10 Marcid: Be right back with you, mate.

0:29:15 Brennan: Myrtle drops and the remaining four skeletons above are all going to go for Jack.

0:29:25 Matt: Fucking bring it.

0:29:26 Brennan: Fucking bring it. Jack, you take nine halved to four.

0:29:31 Matt: Do note, they all have advantage because I was reckless last turn.

0:29:36 Brennan: Copy that, let's see if any of them gets a 20. Those two don't, let's see if these two hit. That's another hit, thank you for your honesty. Seven halved to three, seven halved to three, nine halved to four, 10 damage all told to Jack.

0:29:53 Matt: All right, I just, as they're hitting me, like I'm still focused on Myrtle falling unconscious there on the side. And so it's very much that quiet moment where the rain is still beating around us. I'm still just taking the hits without even noticing them as I'm focused on her unconscious body.

0:30:11 Brennan: Yes, just focusing on Myrtle, these skeletons lashing out. Their little tricorn hats, weird translucent, thunder. You gaze at Myrtle, our remaining soldiers downstairs, one of them uses half his movement to get up. They're gonna take some attacks on Sunny, who is still down here. Two of them strike and hit for, each of them dealing six points of damage to Sunny. How much is Sunny at right now?

0:31:04 Marisha: 15 hit points.

0:31:06 Brennan: 15. Marcid, how are you looking?

0:31:09 B. Dave: Seven.

0:31:11 Brennan: Woo, we got some low hit point totals here. This would have been the harpies turn, but the harpies are unsummoned, baby. How bad could that have been? Sunny, that is your turn.

0:31:28 Marisha: Okay, so I have two soldiers.

0:31:31 Brennan: There are three left in the room with you. And also it looks like Tulwar is now helping, rummaging through the magic items on the ground.

0:31:39 Marisha: Okay, so two soldiers and one of, sorry, three soldiers and one of them is knocked prone, correct? If I recall?

0:31:45 Brennan: The prone one just got up on his previous turn.

0:31:48 Marisha: Oh.

0:31:50 Brennan: But I believe you can use your bonus action to knock him prone again before you take your attack action. So you can get advantage on them.

0:31:59 Marisha: I'm going to do exactly that.

0:32:01 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:32:03 Marisha: And that's an Athletics?

0:32:05 Brennan: Yes. And you've just got to beat a 14.

0:32:10 Marisha: Ooh, seven plus four is not that.

0:32:16 Brennan: You lay into him with your shield, he does not go prone. These are gonna be regular attacks.

0:32:21 Marisha: Dang it. Okay. First attack. Oh man, that is terrible. Even with the plus one that's 10 total.

0:32:34 Brennan: Oof, that's a miss on the first attack.

0:32:37 Marisha: Ah, next attack. That's much better, 20 total.

0:32:43 Brennan: 20 hits.

0:32:45 Marisha: Lovely, okay. And that's eight damage, and I'm gonna go ahead and might as well lay in another Divine Smite.

0:32:58 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:33:01 Marisha: Mark that, ah, ah, beautiful. Seven and an eight for 15.

0:33:08 Brennan: Oh baby. You lash out with your hook, (yells). Catch this guy right in the mouth, fish hook him. Crack his head goes against the mantle of the fireplace. Dead. Oh yeah, yes.

0:33:23 Marisha: I'm just gonna turn to Tulwar and be like,

0:33:25 Sunny: Please just kill the other two, please.

0:33:29 Brennan: Tulwar is going to go and say,

0:33:30 Tulwar: All right, okay.

0:33:33 Brennan: He sort of stands up, wobbles and says,

0:33:36 Tulwar: You two still in here, speak up.

0:33:38 Brennan: And you see that one of the guys goes,

0:33:38 Soldier: Why?

0:33:41 Brennan: And Tulwar uses the sound of him saying why, he's gonna to swing at disadvantage but that's a 15 and a 14. Whoo-hoo-hoo. You see Tulwar sort of lunges forward, and the guy goes, “Why?” And Tulwar goes,

0:33:59 Tulwar: There you are.

0:34:00 Brennan: Leans and claps his hands on the guy's head, and that guy hits the deck. Another one taken care of. There's only one more left in here. Tulwar looks at you and says

0:34:14 Tulwar: How many more are left?

0:34:19 Sunny: One, just one, he's right in front of you.

0:34:24 Brennan: He says,

0:34:24 Tulwar: I've got one, I've got one.

0:34:26 Brennan: Sort of waves his hand,

0:34:26 Tulwar: I can do one. You're good, you're good.

0:34:32 Sunny: Are you sure?

0:34:33 Tulwar: Yes, hey other fellow where are you?

0:34:36 Brennan: And the other guy goes,

0:34:36 Soldier: I-- Hmm. [shuts his mouth abruptly and looks around in fear]

0:34:43 Marisha: I will use my movement to then get to the roof with the others. I'll go out and I'll just fly up to the roof.

0:34:50 Brennan: You fly up to the roof and just as you do, Jack, that's gonna be your turn.

0:35:01 Matt: And there are three skeletons on me?

0:35:04 Brennan: There were four that made attacks.

0:35:06 Matt: Sorry, four on me. But she, she's had her, the ritual’s been interrupted. I trust Cheese to finish this. Myrtle's my… You know what, you know what, as long as the skeletons are there, and the strength has faded a bit from me in the frustration of this moment. I'm going to be like, there's only so much one force can do. We need a priestess of a storm for this to succeed. And he's going to push past the nearest skeleton and attempts to make a medicine check to revive Myrtle, if that's possible.

0:35:51 Brennan: Absolutely. Go ahead.

0:35:57 Matt: I do have a healer's kit, so I don't know if that helps.

0:35:59 Brennan: Oh, awesome, so, okay. So looking at the healer's kit here, the DC to restore one hit point with that healer's kit… Is that 15 for that? I'm trying to find the healer's kit information real quick here.

0:36:16 Matt: Let me find it.

0:36:18 Brennan: 'Cause this would be pretty huge. Yeah.

0:36:27 B. Dave: It doesn't say. “The kit has 10 uses as an action, you can spend one use to stabilize a creature at zero hit points without needing to make a medicine check.” That's the thing I see.

0:36:36 Matt: Oh, I don't have the healer's kit, so it just stabilizes them.

0:36:39 Brennan: Yes, no worries.

0:36:41 B. Dave: Healer's kit, right?

0:36:42 Matt: Yeah. And you know what, if I can't bring her back to conscious, unless it's a natural 20, oh, what the fuck is it?

0:36:50 Brennan: It's still Myrtle could still, on a natural 20 pop back up. But you know, I would say, if you wanna give me a medicine check, you have a healer's kit. Do you wanna give me a medicine check, DC 10 can stabilize. And I'll say, your wisdom is not ideal, but I think DC 10 will stabilize. I'll say DC 15 we will let Myrtle roll to potentially come back, cool.

0:37:27 Matt: Okay, so what was the DC again, it was-

0:37:29 Brennan: 10 to stabilize, 15 to give Myrtle a chance to come back.

0:37:33 Matt: Okay. Oh, this is literally my dump stat.

0:37:41 Marisha: Come on.

0:37:42 Matt: This is all faith based here, worth a shot. This is what D&D’s about. [looks at camera as he reaches for his phone] I am, I am, this is. I fucking love this game. [shows a photo of his die] So my dice, that is a natural fucking 20, I'm not even joking. I haven't touched it, I'm gonna move my, my, [moves his camera to the die] so you can see.

0:37:57 Aabria: Oh my god!

0:38:04 Brennan: [offscreen] Oh my god!

0:38:08 Carlos: [offscreen] That’s awesome.

0:38:12 Matt: I'm gonna move my, my. I can't, I can't believe that!

0:38:17 Brennan: Matt, you've kicked your nemesis off the balcony and then hit a nat 20 to bring your party cleric back. Unbelievable. Jack, you like swing your mast onto your back, as you drop to your knees. You can feel these skeletons, whaling into you, you're trying to use the mast to shield as much as possible, but you're still taking the blows raining down on you, on your legs and arms. You feel your old, tired muscles tense up again, as the rust beats into them. You lean down, rip off a piece of gauze, wrap it over Myrtle's chest. You see the burns on her. You reach in, grab something and you see all those faces, you look around you. Your crew appears behind the skeletons. There were lives you couldn't save. But that doesn't mean there aren't still ones you can. You press down onto Myrtle's chest. Myrtle, your gills flare, saltwater. You come back and Jack, you're standing there, and not only is this just a common healer's kit, but this is something more. And even though Jack may just be a humble pirate, maybe Jack is a little bit haunted in a truer way after all, as his eyes flicker with mist and his connection to those of the dead beckons you back from the brink. With one full hit point as a reward on a nat 20, Myrtle, you are not just stable, you are back up in the fight. Jack has hauled you back from the brink, and you can see for the first time, you see the ghosts as Jack sees them. And they smile at you as well and say,

0:40:11 Ghosts: Not, not your time yet, fair lady.

0:40:20 Aabria: And she kind of looks around and is surrounded and like, makes eye contact with Jack and then smiles. And her eyes sort of go blue and murky, like the darkest parts of the ocean. And I'm gonna Channel Divinity, let's Destroy Undead. Matt shrugs and makes a metal hand, grinning.

0:40:36 Brennan: (laughs) Hell yeah.

0:40:43 Aabria: So wisdom saves with a DC of 16.

0:40:46 Brennan: Ooh, might be surprised, if you didn't know, these skeletons are not particularly wise.

0:40:52 Aabria: Weird, weird how they’re like that.

0:40:55 Brennan: None of them hit what they needed to hit, which was a 17 to get a 16. (Aabria laughs)

0:41:03 Brennan: You come back with that smile on your face. All of these skeletons, you watch, suddenly their bones fill with a brief translucence of their souls come back, and beneath all of them a spectral whirlpool appears. And then (yells), and the souls get sucked out of the bones, straight into the bottom of the sea and the bones clatter disanimated around you. (laughs)

0:41:37 Aabria: Dope.

0:41:38 Brennan: Incredible. With that Turn Undead as well, Jack, you're holding onto your mast and you feel you are not a cursed man, but it is true that you have long been haunted. Your crew feels the wave of Myrtle's dismissal and then turns to you and says,

0:42:07 Ghosts: Captain, we will leave if we are bidden to leave, but we would serve you until the day comes where you may join our ranks.

0:42:27 Jack: Serve me the rest of this day. Perhaps when this sun sets past the storm, you pass on, as you were meant to.

0:42:39 Brennan: All of them, smile with the enormity of that release and that gratitude and hang on to the power of Myrtle's dismissal of the undead, which has given them freedom to pass on from this realm. But not just yet. Smile, leap in, we are back to the top of the initiative.

0:43:01 Aabria: Oh, can I?

0:43:02 Brennan: Yes, yes, yes.

0:43:04 Aabria: Do I have the ability to cast a bonus action spell?

0:43:07 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

0:43:08 Aabria: Sweet, then I'm going to get my Spiritual Weapon back up, and I think now that she's back up, her whole, the water bubble rushes back up and starts jumping out in fits and starts. And how far away is our girl?

0:43:26 Brennan: It's difficult terrain, but she's only about 40 feet up at the top of the roof.

0:43:31 Aabria: Wait, I'm on the roof.

0:43:32 Brennan: Yeah, you're only 40 feet away from her.

0:43:34 Aabria: Okay, so 60 feet. The first one, oh yeah. So I can get one hit on her?

0:43:41 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:43:41 Aabria: With my BA. I got a natural 20.

0:43:46 Brennan: [laughs] My God!

0:43:51 Aabria: Yeah, it's not very much damage, but I will take it. Yeah for a whopping six points.

0:43:59 Brennan: Yeah.

0:43:59 Marisha: Yeah.

0:44:03 B. Dave: Again, as we've learned, the only hit point that matters is the last one, so it all adds up.

0:44:08 Aabria: Oh plus my modifier, six plus five, 11.

0:44:12 Brennan: Hell yes. Alamaria is beginning to look very hurt indeed, she is beginning to look panicked. You reach out, the ocean strikes her. As she does, she whips back her head and looks at you, and says

0:44:27 Alamaria: False witch. Servant of the deep. You now live under the storm of his majesty. Prepare to be struck down. (Brennan laughs)

0:44:46 Myrtle: [rolls her eyes] It's already happened, it didn't stick.

0:44:51 Brennan: [laughs] We cut deep into the shadows of the attic underneath the storm with the pounding rain and battle overhead. Marcid, you turn around, badly injured, facing Langley.

0:45:01 Marcid: Right, so you did tell me to bring you that tablet. So I'm gonna need your assistance. We call this move “beating a motherfucker with another motherfucker.”

0:45:12 B. Dave: And I grab him and I shove him into the thing, which I got a 24 on the attack. To like [mimes a punch] shove him into the-

0:45:22 Brennan: Into the open-

0:45:22 B. Dave: Into the engine.

0:45:25 Brennan: Yeah, well, I got a 24 and a 23, 'cause I'm gonna bash him twice, and pending how that goes, something else is going to happen. But I do count as large for this. So I'm like.

0:45:33 Brennan: Okay.

0:45:37 B. Dave: So let's see if he can get away from me. 24 and 23.

0:45:40 Brennan: And these are shove attempts right.

0:45:42 B. Dave: Yeah.

0:45:44 Brennan: Okay, we're gonna roll for both. Langley is dexterous as hell, but not the strongest dude in the world. Let's see how he fares.

0:45:55 B. Dave: I try and get him twice, so we'll see.

0:45:57 Brennan: 23 and 24, right?

0:45:57 B. Dave: Right. Or 24 and 23, the high one was the first one, but yes.

0:46:04 Brennan: Natural four on the first roll, and a natural five on the second. Langley fails both.

0:46:09 B. Dave: So after I bash him twice, you said I can actually physically touch this thing, right?

0:46:14 Brennan: Yes you can.

0:46:14 B. Dave: I grab the trident, like I'm going to stab him, and I stab right past him and stab the device, and try and rupture it. Whatever's gonna happen, I need to bring this thing down.

0:46:25 Brennan: (laughs) Okay. So you slam him into the device. Okay.

0:46:38 B. Dave: I beat the device with his body as the (laughs).

0:46:41 Brennan: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. Well, so the first attacks, 'cause you have three attacks a round. So the first two attacks, bam, bam. Go ahead, and I'm gonna say, just roll 1d6 plus your strength modifier for both of those that you slammed.

0:46:56 B. Dave: Using an improvised weapon to beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker?

0:46:58 Brennan: Yes, absolutely, that's correct.

0:47:00 Carlos: I love the marketing team that came up with that name. (all laughing)

0:47:06 B. Dave: So that plus strength is eight and seven on the two attacks.

0:47:12 Brennan: Okay, yes.

0:47:14 B. Dave: And then when I stab it, I stab it for 11.

0:47:18 Brennan: That beats the damage threshold by one point of damage.

0:47:25 B. Dave: Right.

0:47:26 Brennan: You bash him up against the side. I'm going to present Marcid with a choice right now. You can either stab the device in the way that looks the absolutely, absolute, most likely to do something truly magically horrific, maybe, maybe quite, quite, quite bad.

0:47:54 B. Dave: Go on.

0:47:58 Brennan: Second choice would be if you want to try to take that damage, deal that to pin Langley against the machine right? So you're either stabbing through Langley to attach it to the machine or you are, if that makes sense.

0:48:17 B. Dave: What I'm trying to do 'cause I still don't know how the fight’s going on the roof, and having this thing on the roof is what they want. So I want it not on the roof. Like I'm just trying to bring it down. Although I was told not to rupture it, but that my goal is even if I hit like a post or something with his body, my goal is to bring that thing down from the roof. That's what I'm trying to have happen.

0:48:38 Brennan: Okay, cool, so I think in that case, you smash him twice into the thing and then with your second attack, take your spear and yeah, you do the 11 points of damage. This thing, the chimney, the structure only had five hit points left, so you bam, bam. And with that last attack, the entire infernal lamp collapses 20 feet down through the floor and settled, just like deposited deep in the body of the Ramble underneath it, disappearing, which changes the battle, the topography, changes the landscape here a little bit, because it puts Langley with his back to suddenly an open void. He's just in front of sort of like the open hole where that happened. And it makes Alamaria also standing next to the disappeared infernal lamp up on top. So you smashed him twice, and then you collapsed the chimney. He's like teetering on the edge there.

0:49:49 B. Dave: I just, so I just look at him and I just say,

0:49:49 Marcid: Run. Go on, I'll let you go, run.

0:49:57 Brennan: Incredible. We're gonna resolve that Intimidation check in a moment, Bob, that's your turn.

0:50:06 Krystina: How close am I to Alamaria? I think if I land right here, then she's right there, yeah?

0:50:11 Brennan: Yeah, you're flying over the balcony, which means you're only 40 feet away from her.

0:50:18 Krystina: Oh, well I'd like to come down and land right next to her, and I'd like to talk to her real quick. (record scratching)

0:50:27 Brennan: [laughs] Horribly burned. She's had a moment of like divine catharsis completely stolen from her and you just land next to her.

0:50:35 Alamaria: What?

0:50:38 Bob: Oh no, no, no, darling, just give me your hand. Just give me your hand. I just wanna talk to you for a second. You know, sometimes you just need a little diplomacy.

0:50:48 Brennan: She looks at you and says,

0:50:50 Alamaria: My God, are you Barbarella Sasparilla Gainglynn?

0:50:57 Bob: Yes, absolutely. I don't think we've met properly, but I do sort of know I kinda, hit you with a couple of things, and you hit my friends with a couple of things, and tried to murder the entirety of our whole land, but you know, we could just make amends maybe.

0:51:15 Alamaria: Oh, this is crazy. No, my god,

0:51:19 Brennan: You see she's still holding the stone tablet, holding the daughter of storms.

0:51:23 Alamaria: My God needs this tablet and the ritual, it must, and I can't believe you're just like, wow. You're like, I kind of thought you'd be taller, if that makes sense. Is that weird, do you get that a lot?

0:51:36 Krystina: I'm still holding your hand yeah?

0:51:40 Brennan: Yes, you are still holding her hand.

0:51:42 Bob: You know I do, when people sketch me, I'd just get sketched tall, so it just looks a certain type of way. But I just, you know,

0:51:49 Krystina: And as I'm continuing to talk to her, I am actually Inflicting Wounds.

0:51:59 Brennan: [laughs] Go ahead, first of all, give me a deception with advantage.

0:52:09 Krystina: All right, with advantage. All right, so that's 18. So that's 29. (Brennan laughs)

0:52:24 Krystina: I've got a plus 11 in Deception.

0:52:26 Brennan: Bards are so crazy. Incredible. Go ahead and roll the damage for your Inflict.

0:52:37 Krystina: I'm gonna be rolling that and use my final third level spell. So that's 5d10s of damage. 34 points of damage.

0:52:55 Brennan: Oh my God.

0:52:58 Marisha: Come on.

0:53:06 Brennan: Barbarella, you hold this woman's hand. She gazes at you and goes,

0:53:10 Alamaria: Wow, this is incredible. They say never meet, you know, sort of celebrities.

0:53:21 Brennan: And you see the veins of her arm begin to glow with radiant light spreading up her body. She goes,

0:53:28 Alamaria: Ha, it's just so there's so much feeling when you meet someone that you've heard about your whole life, it feels kind of hot and intense. I feel, (yells)

0:53:41 Brennan: She just starts to come apart into component light. Bob, where do you send these motes of light on the horizon?

0:53:56 Krystina: Oh, I want 'em to do little spirals in the air, kind of like fireworks.

0:54:01 Brennan: (imitates fireworks) The stone tablet, hold on one second. Okay. The stone tablet she was holding is the only part of her that is still here. She, pew! Fireworks, as they hit, begin to hit the storm, almost abjuring the storm for you guys. Pew! And as it goes off, you are surrounded by just celestial trumpet music of like, pchoo, pchoo, fireworks. (imitates band music) Bob stands in all of her celestial glory, this terrible wicked woman bent on the destruction of all the lovely people of Leviathan. You have saved, Bob, what an adventurer you are after all. You see, even at the edge, Tulwar peering over the roof, be like,

0:55:01 Tulwar: Wow. Now that's what I call legendary.

0:55:07 Brennan: We are going to cut back to the attic, very briefly.

0:55:15 B. Dave: Presumably we see those flashes.

0:55:17 Brennan: You see, yeah.

0:55:18 B. Dave: There's a hole right over us right?

0:55:19 Brennan: Yeah, there is a hole right over you.

0:55:22 Marcid: That doesn't look good, mate. This is your last chance to get out of here.

0:55:27 Brennan: Langley is tilting back over the thing. He- [thinking to himself] Is this too dumb or does this rule? It rules.

0:55:38 B. Dave: Yes.

0:55:39 Matt: Always go with rules.

0:55:41 Brennan: It always rules. You see Langley looks at you as he says this and says, says,

0:55:47 Langley: Run, run? I’ve orchestrated the most daring heist, the most complex system of banking that there's ever been. You think I'm going to just—

0:56:02 Brennan: I would like, I'll actually ask, as Bob just destroyed Alamaria, Bob, could you do me a favor and roll a D20? We're just gonna roll a flat luck check here. You want, I'm going to say an 11 or higher.

0:56:17 Krystina: I just want to say that that was my opportunity to say,

0:56:19 Bob: Celestial af! (Brennan laughs)

0:56:22 Aabria: Oh yeah.

0:56:27 Krystina: [gasps] You know what else is celestial af?

0:56:30 Brennan: What's that?

0:56:31 Krystina: The natural one that I just did. (all laugh)

0:56:36 Brennan: No worries. Cool, so.

0:56:39 Krystina: Whomp whomp whomp whomp.

0:56:42 Brennan: What you guys see is Bob, blow up Alamaria, the next person in the initiative order, don't worry. There's no bad, there was no bad part of that roll, that was to see if something crazily lucky would happen. Cheese, you are the next person in the initiative order to go.

0:57:01 Carlos: So I'm on the roof. This person disintegrated in front of me. I turned around there's no one, or?

0:57:13 Brennan: You see, actually you see the stone tablet, the daughter of storms was the only thing left. That's actually what Bob was rolling for, was to see if it was going to fall into the hole. Instead it hits the roof and shoots down the side of the roof and begins to fly out into the city of Leviathan. You can take your turn as it is like rocketing past you down this slippery roof.

0:57:44 Carlos: Yeah, I wanna try to catch it. Like it's falling or flying away. Is it falling or flying away?

0:57:53 Brennan: Well, it hits this steep rain slicked, shingled roof as this heavy slab of wet stone and like a bar of soap on a bathroom tub, it just like shoom, begins to shoot off the roof. What does Cheese do?

0:58:10 Carlos: Cheese wants to catch it, wants to get it. He's thinking like, okay, he's like running, he's thinking.

0:58:16 Cheese: Okay, so I got Sticky Fingers.

0:58:20 Carlos: Which is like Mage Hand to try to like throw it forward to like try to slow it down. So yeah, I want to like cast that. I wanna cast mage hand, try to get in front of it and try to like slow it down, so it just doesn't fall off the roof.

0:58:33 Brennan: Give me, give me just an Arcana check.

0:58:36 Carlos: Okay.

0:58:38 Brennan: You want definitely above a 10 here.

0:58:41 Carlos: 19.

0:58:41 Brennan: Yes, great. You weave in front of this thing, Mage Hand, Sticky Fingers and end up much like Spider-Man with the railroad crunching behind him. You begin to just like sink into the roof, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, holding this stone ahead of you with your magic until you're right at the very edge of the roof, looking at Leviathan far below. You grab the stone, Cheese has grabbed the stone. Bob has killed Alamaria, the skeletons are destroyed. And with that Marcid, Langley lunges at you, and he's gonna take his attacks.

0:59:28 B. Dave: He doesn't try and run?

0:59:30 Brennan: Go ahead and give me your intimidate check.

0:59:33 B. Dave: That's too bad. Intimidate is 21. I'm like,

0:59:42 Marcid: Run, it's too late for you, mate, just go.

0:59:47 Brennan: 21 is very, very good. He looks at you and says,

0:59:51 Langley: Marcid.

0:59:55 Brennan: And also just saw Alamaria explode overhead. You see, he looks at you and says,

1:00:07 Langley: Very well, Marcid. I submit to arrest, lead me where you will, where are we going?

1:00:16 Marcid: Right over there, you first.

1:00:18 Brennan: He says,

1:00:18 Langley: Please, after you.

1:00:22 B. Dave: The moment he moves, I'm gonna reaction Sparta kick him. (both laughing)

1:00:28 Brennan: You 100% see him go for a dagger, was absolutely gonna stab you in the back.

1:00:36 B. Dave: Yeah. 21 on the attack. Boom!

1:00:42 Brennan: You see, yeah. As he goes,

1:00:43 Langley: Lead the way.

1:00:43 Brennan: He says,

1:00:43 Langley: And Marcid, they always say keep your friends- Shit! (yells) [falls down multiple levels] Ah! Ghh! How many levels does this tavern have? [falls down even more levels] Ah! Hey the lamp! Oh no!

1:01:05 B. Dave: I call down,

1:01:05 Marcid: Cathilda, please stab him one more time to make sure, love.

1:01:11 Brennan: You hear,

1:01:11 Cathilda: Right, he's dead. Oh oh, no, no, no, he's alive. (knife stabbing)

1:01:17 Marcid: He's alive.

1:01:17 Cathilda: Dead, dead, dead.

1:01:19 Marcid: But very badly burned, yeah.

1:01:22 B. Dave: And I start climbing my way up to the roof.

1:01:27 Brennan: The victorious crew. Sunny, you alight on the roof, Cheese, you've got the stone, Jack and Myrtle side by side, Bob surrounded by motes of light, and the completely blood soaked messed up Marcid crawls through.

1:01:44 B. Dave: I just look at Cheese and I'm like,

1:01:47 Marcid: Oy, she turned you into Swiss Cheese, mate. (Brennan laughs)

1:01:55 Carlos: Cheese would have a comeback for that. But he looks down and sees all the holes and he's just like,

1:01:59 Cheese: Yeah, that's right, mate. (all laughing)

1:02:08 Brennan: As the six of you laugh, the six of you hear on the roof of the Ramble, the one of the tallest buildings in Leviathan, look out, the storm breaks and you can see the clouds begin to part and all of the vastness of Leviathan spreads out before you. What adventures there are in this city and beyond, who can say. But the six of you who, by the way, let's get some hit point totals real quick. What are people at right now? Aabria holds up one finger. B. Dave holds up 7. Matt makes a 50. Carlos holds up a 5. Marisha holds up 6. Krystina mouths the word “20”.

1:02:52 Brennan: One, seven, five. Jack's at 50? Jack's looking great, honestly.

1:03:00 Matt: Barbarians, yo. Just saying.

1:03:02 Brennan: Just saying. Jack got that massage and is feeling great. But covered in blood, soaked in rainwater. The last bits of lightning and thunder fade away as the sunset reveals itself on the far horizon. And then the other side of the sky, the stars alight. You all have saved Leviathan, cheers erupt, and you see Cathilda, Tulwar, and all of the elders, for indeed the victory this day was witnessed by the premier storytellers of Leviathan, the old coots, the pirate elders who sit around telling stories of great pirate deeds. (cheers and claps) Tulwar goes,

1:03:45 Tulwar: A round of drinks! A round of drinks.

1:03:49 Brennan: I say,

1:03:49 Marcid: Wait, hold on a second. Your newest pirate lord has something to say.

1:03:56 B. Dave: And I pick up Cheese and have him stand up in front of me, I'm like,

1:04:00 Marcid: We need to make another trip, don't we mate? Ask him for a ship.

1:04:05 Cheese: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:04:08 Carlos: And like Cheese begs them for like a ship to go to Thorn-

1:04:10 Cheese: If you would, we just have one more, one more stop to go to, it would be great if you could, you know, let me borrow a ship. Just something tiny, nothing that fancy, like, you know, maybe within the last 10 years or so, that would be great.

1:04:29 Brennan: You see, they look around, Tulwar smiles at you and says,

1:04:34 Tulwar: Young master Cheese, a ship is what's called for here. Let me speak to the most noble soul I know, who upholds the pirate code.

1:04:49 Brennan: Looks at you and says,

1:04:49 Tulwar: Sunny, follower of Jane of the old ways, do you vouch for young master Cheese here?

1:04:59 Sunny: Aye, he be a good lad, Master Tulwar.

1:05:04 Brennan: You see Tulwar and Cathilda look at each other and he goes,

1:05:06 Tulwar: That’s actually not a bad pirate accent, it's pretty good.

1:05:10 Sunny: I've been listening to Jack over here for the past 24 hours and his is pretty choice.

1:05:19 Brennan: You are all beckoned and brought down off the roof, celebrated, all these pirate elders. You guys are loaded up, there's a ton of magic gear. These old pirates, there's pirates everywhere, just ancient old pirates who again, an old pirate is almost always a kind of bizarre thing. It's like, you survived? So they're all like super high level, but they're just too crotchety. It's like,

1:05:40 Pirate: Here, take this it be a magic flintlock. (laughs)

1:05:46 Brennan: You all like move through the Ramble, they look at the collapse. You see that however Langley fell, he actually is crushed in the chest by the infernal lamp. Like he hit it on the way down, got underneath it and it crushed him. And you see, they say, Tulwar says,

1:06:05 Tulwar: You know I suppose we'll need more repairs.

1:06:08 Brennan: Cathilda goes like,

1:06:08 Cathilda: Right but, where do we get the money for the repairs?

1:06:12 Brennan: And Tulwar steeples his fingers and says,

1:06:14 Tulwar: Well, we took that loan from that Trading Company. But now that I think about it,

1:06:22 Brennan: And he looks at Marcid holding Cheese,

1:06:24 Tulwar: Perhaps some enterprising pirates might think about raising some funds the old fashioned way. (laughs maniacally)

1:06:38 Brennan: In fact, he says, he points at you Cheese, and says,

1:06:42 Tulwar: If your business brings you to the Thorn Coast at the Eastern edge of the Nightmare Kings Forest, if there are some people worth saving, perhaps there might also be some treasure worth liberating.

1:06:59 Cheese: Oh, oh.

1:07:02 Carlos: Cheese's first pirate interaction like, like, pirate talk.

1:07:07 Cheese: Oh yes. I getcha.

1:07:10 Brennan: (laughs) Yes, Dave.

1:07:14 B. Dave: I just sort of like, while everybody is huzzah-ing and collecting the new magical booty, which I've been waiting this whole season, just to say those words, I pull Tulwar over and I pull out the contract for this place, the insurance policy and I point at it and I say,

1:07:35 Marcid: It seems now that Mr. Langley Sheffield-Harrington is indisposed the second name on that contract is mine. So there might be a little bit of coin that manages to make its way back to the ramparts the old-fashioned way, before we go do it the old-fashioned way. [winks]

1:07:59 Brennan: He smiles at you Marcid and goes,

1:07:59 Tulwar: Well, well, well, quite a pirate I now behold. You're the Typhoon, is that right?

1:08:13 Marcid: Aye.

1:08:15 Brennan: He looks at you and smiles. And once again, Marcid, you've peeled off from the other five to handle business, while the party starts. He smiles and says

1:08:25 Tulwar: Young master Cheese has a great deal of adventure ahead of him. It's always good for a young pirate to have someone to watch over them, to keep an eye on the bottom line. And it's a rare pirate who's as deadly with a blade as he is with the quill pen.

1:08:49 Brennan: And he nods to the contract you're holding. And then he looks at you and asks, he says,

1:08:56 Tulwar: You've remained on the Leviathan for a long time, Marcid. Not spent as much of your days on the open waves. What do you think the future holds for you?

1:09:11 Marcid: I've come to realize there's worse things than getting a little of water on your face, aye, mate?

1:09:20 Brennan: He smiles and you hear Alycon in your mind go,

1:09:23 Alycon: Sire, you're not honestly considering going sailing? That's the main thing we've talked about, you were in a shipwreck, do you remember, you almost drowned.

1:09:29 Marcid: Oh yeah.

1:09:29 Myrtle: Alycon, shut up!

1:09:33 Alycon: Sorry, sorry, mistress.

1:09:35 Marcid: Right I have sort of spent the last 24 hours, in existential terror, and here we are, still alive. So at least it's going to be exciting, right?

1:09:46 Brennan: You see she says,

1:09:46 Alycon: Very well sire,

1:09:48 Brennan: And you hear a voice say,

1:09:48 Stimey: M'lady. (Marcid groans) (players laughing)

1:09:55 Stimey: If anything were ever to happen to you, know that there is no depth of the ocean I would not dive too. No far horizon I wouldn't sail too. [kissing noises]

1:10:04 Marcid: Hold on, wait, I'm just gonna give you all a moment.

1:10:09 B. Dave: And I just like hurl the harpoon back up towards the rafters.

1:10:14 Brennan: Quivers in the ceiling.

1:10:17 Marcid: I'll get it back later. But that does remind me of one small thing.

1:10:24 B. Dave: I turn to Myrtle, and like,

1:10:24 Marcid: I was going to say sorry for dragging you into all of this mess. I was just looking for a chance for you to make a little coin, but I guess it worked out well enough, hey? Oh, and you died for me first. [Brennan laughs]

1:10:52 Myrtle: All right.

1:10:53 Aabria: And I think Myrtle will lean in and give him a kiss.

1:10:57 Brennan: Oh, beautiful. Romance fills the air. Pirate love is everywhere. Celebration continues until you guys find yourselves on the first floor of the Ramble, the largest sort of foundation floor. And you see that there's sort of a celebration happening outside in the street of people realize that, word has gotten around.

1:11:19 People: Hey did you know Leviathan was almost destroyed!

1:11:22 Brennan: And then people being like,

1:11:22 People: Wow, no, but it got taken care of, well great.

1:11:29 Brennan: And you see rushing up through the crowd, Alistair Ash shows up, and was supposed to come with you here. He goes like,

1:11:36 Alistair: Hey sorry, I got distracted there with some snacks, and I thought we'd all want lunch, so I got a little bit turned around, but I showed up, is the fight over, has it happened yet?

1:11:49 Sunny: Wow. I totally forgot about this guy.

1:11:52 Cheese: Oh, totally forgot.

1:11:53 Marcid: I thought he was doing something with the souls and the bell or something.

1:11:58 Myrtle: Can I put him back in the bell now please?

1:12:01 Alistair: Wait no, please don't.

1:12:03 Brennan: You see him look terrified,

1:12:03 Alistair: Please, I'll do anything not to go back in the bell. I'm sorry, I just thought that there was a line thing, it was a great sandwich place in Galleyard that we were nearby.

1:12:16 Brennan: Laughter, merrymaking. All of you see, a sort of caravan show up being led by Jamina Joy who arrives with a bunch of wagons and carts with 14 of the 15 recovered infernal lamps. She arrives here.

1:12:40 Jamina: I believe by your reckoning, the 15th lamp now resides inside?

1:12:45 Brennan: And you see Tulwar kind of moving out with it, and goes,

1:12:47 Tulwar: Yes, it really did a number on floors 11 through 4. So, have to repair this.

1:12:55 Brennan: Carrying it out. And Myrtle, yeah, you see, the 15 lamps all placed here, and you see an incredibly rare appearance of Garthy outside of the Gold Gardens, walking up with the tieflings, being escorted by some of Garthy's bouncers and security from the tavern of the Gold Gardens.

1:13:22 Garthy: Loveys, happy to hear that everything went smashing, yeah? Looks like the job got done.

1:13:27 Brennan: You behold the infernal lamps in front of you, Myrtle, with the bell in your hand.

1:13:36 Aabria: Okay.

1:13:37 Myrtle: Hey Sunny, Bob, can I get a little celestial cover on this? I think it's gonna take a bit. All right, bring me a tiefling.

1:13:50 Sunny: Sure.

1:13:53 Brennan: Trixie walks up going,

1:13:53 Trixie: Bob? Bob?

1:13:58 Myrtle: Okay, we'll start with this one.

1:13:59 Aabria: And I wanna grab her by the shoulders and like bring Bob over to, and then we just sort of put her next to...

1:14:02 Krystina: Cleric line?

1:14:05 Aabria: Yeah, and we just kind of like check resonance on each of the lamps, like, “No. Oh, okay I think it's this one.” And yeah, I would like to attempt to use the bell against the lamp to try to like, I don't know, I'm imagining it like a plug and like screwing it in, and pulling the soul out.

1:14:27 Brennan: For a moment it seems like something very musical and dramatic will happen. And then you just kind of get into the lamp from one of the runes like an ice cream scoop, like get in there.

1:14:36 Aabria: I think you've gotta leave it out for a couple of minutes to soften it up.

1:14:42 Brennan: [laughs] After a lot of grueling, sea witch, undersea cleric work you scoop these fiery souls out. And the first one is Trixie, you, within the bell and then are able to bind it back out. And through that little fork tongue, like residual injury in the side of her neck, glows with fire and Trixie goes,

1:15:04 Trixie: Oh Bob, oh my god, Bobby, oh my god, are you all right? Oh, I love you so much, sweetheart.

1:15:15 Bob: I missed you.

1:15:17 Trixie: I missed you so much. Oh my God, that guy Clive who I was seeing, he was such a fucking dick. He came into my room, he lit this like, little lamp and I started to get all woozy. And I was like, “Umm, I really prefer not,” and it was like, what's your fucking deal. Everyone's always trying to capture souls and do souls into a bell or a jar or something. Enough! Enough with the souls in gems and stuff.

1:15:45 Bob: You should never date a guy named Clive. I learned that this weekend. It's been a crazy journey. I didn't know that was the guy. If I had known that was the guy, like I know that's the guy now after the fact, then it would've never been a situation.

1:16:00 Brennan: You see that, she goes,

1:16:00 Trixie: Oh, I know, I, I can't help it. I fall for these guys that are just bad news and are always involved in these apocalyptic conspiracies with angry deities. It's just a habit. It's ultimately like, we're all trying to date our father. You know, I heard someone say that one time, like you're looking for a type that wasn't present in your childhood, but what can I say? You know, my dad was an angry deity.

1:16:29 Aabria: Myrtle just gives a,

1:16:29 Myrtle: Uh-huh.

1:16:31 Aabria: As she’s like, digging through another one.

1:16:32 Brennan: [laughs] She looks over at you, and she's like,

1:16:32 Trixie: She gets it. Hello, thank you for scooping my soul out of there, also your makeup, beautiful, I love it.

1:16:41 Myrtle: Thank you. You too, not bad for like no soul in your body. It's great. [grunting]

1:16:48 Brennan: Scooping more of these tiefling souls out of these lamps. Jamina's looking like,

1:16:50 Jamina: This is going to take a little while.

1:16:54 Myrtle: Yeah. Alistair, if you don't have more sandwiches, I swear to God, I'm putting you back in here.

1:17:00 Alistair: I put in an order, but I had to send a raven, and it looks like the raven flew the wrong way. I'm gonna go there in person, I'll get more sandwiches I swear. Please don't put me in the bell.

1:17:10 Brennan: And Alistair scampers off. Incredible. Yes, Dave.

1:17:17 B. Dave: I would just say while this is happening and this soul extrication is happening and presumably seeing the sun set, having heard what Jack said, I just lean over to him, and I'm like,

1:17:29 Marcid: What next now captain? Hopefully you're not going back below decks hiding anymore.

1:17:38 Jack: Don't really know. Got a few matters to tend to, and then I'm gonna figure out what sort of way to spend my sunset years I suppose. Ain’t getting any younger, ain’t that the truth.

1:17:56 Matt: Holds the mast there, kinda looks at it.

1:17:59 Jack: If you excuse me just one second, I do have um, an order of business to tend to.

1:18:06 Marcid: Aye, aye.

1:18:09 Matt: As everyone's celebrating he kind of like, as much as he can being a [laughs] not very discrete figure in a crowd, kind of ducks off towards one of the edges kind of near where the cliff where Clive fell was, and kind of holds the masthead there, and goes,

1:18:31 Jack: We've come a ways, we have. Can't say I don't still hold some sort of deep guilt for dragging all of you undeserving folk to your ends, but you're free now. Free to pass on.

1:18:54 Brennan: You see the powerful dismissal that was invoked by Myrtle, the passing of the dead into realms beyond. And even from Myrtle's condemnation of those skeletons to the bottom of the briny deep, this is more, maybe gentle's not the right word, it's still crashing, like the sound of distant waves, but maybe there's some thrill to it, some adventure, places yet to go, a new home to find, a new adventure to seek. And you see that your crew appears around you translucently. You see Kiarra looks over and says,

1:19:36 Kiarra: They're here right? Before the door closes.

1:19:43 Brennan: And you see that the door that Myrtle opened, your pirate crew has jammed open with a bunch of ghostly, like, spars of wood, they've done something cosmic, they've done some piratey thing to the fabric of the cosmos. And you see two ratfolk, elder ratfolk come through the door that clearly had been kidnapped. They have like bags over their heads, but the bags get taken off, they look around. You see Dana, your mother and Malcolm, your father who have both since passed, look on, and you see that Aram your lizardfolk bosun goes,

1:20:24 Aram: Captain, the door opened for us to pass on, but we thought we'd bring them here.

1:20:34 Jack: You're, umm. Don't know if your methods were absolutely necessary given that they're my parents, but I appreciate you staying in theme. Mom, Pop. [scratches his face] Happy to see your faces.

1:20:53 Brennan: You see they smile. Your crew turns and nods to your parents and goes,

1:21:01 Crew: We'll leave you to it. You'll close the door behind you.

1:21:05 Brennan: And your mother and father both nod to them, looking around and seeing the door, your crew salutes you one last time. Jack salutes back.

1:21:12 Crew: Captain, we'll be waiting on the other side.

1:21:17 Jack: I shouldn't be too long now.

1:21:22 Brennan: They vanish and you are left with two loving ghosts staring at you from the mist as the sun sets and the pinks and oranges of the distant sky paint behind them a beautiful portrait of things waiting beyond.

1:21:43 Jack: Well, told you I'd one day make you proud.

1:21:51 Brennan: Dana smiles and says,

1:21:51 Dana: My sweet darling, Jacky, we always were proud. It didn't happen today, it was every day.

1:22:03 Brennan: And your father puts an arm around her shoulder and says,

1:22:09 Malcolm: Jack, legends come and go, ships sail from harbor to harbor, the tide rises and falls. No man controls his fortune.

1:22:23 Brennan: And your mother extends a ghostly hand and you feel a cool and yet somehow also warm touch on your chest, and she says,

1:22:31 Dana: But a man does have sway over his own heart. Each day of your life, you've been a good boy and a good man. And then, that has made your father and I more proud than anything else Jack.

1:22:53 Jack: Well er, thank you both for your support. Thank you for telling me there was more beyond the Bilge all these years. Not many folk of our kind are given enough of a direction in life, so I owe all this to you.

1:23:24 Brennan: They smile and you see that they begin to fade, and the door is almost closing behind them. And you see your father goes to remove the blockings from the door, holding your mother's hand. Your mother turns back. She says,

1:23:42 Dana: Jacky boy, the sorrow in your eyes… The world writes the ending to our stories. Don't write an ending for yourself.

1:24:07 Matt: As he for a moment, just keeps focused on that kind of pink and orange horizon, trying to hold as much of the memory of both of their faces as he can, he takes a deep breath, turns back over his shoulder, his eyes find Garthy somewhere in the crew, group back there and goes,

1:24:29 Jack: I think there's still a bit left in this old story to write.

1:24:36 Brennan: Garthy smiles, winks at you, beckons you over. Garthy's talking with Cheese and Tulwar. You see Garthy sort of smiles, says,

1:24:47 Garthy: Darling, Jacky, can you come over here, sweetheart?

1:24:57 Brennan: You see Garthy says,

1:24:58 Garthy: I was just talking with the good admiral, Tulwar, as well as young master Cheese here about the fact that young Cheese has come into possession of a boat. But Cheese, I believe you were mentioning that you're not actually a sailor by trade. You grew up here on Leviathan, that's right?

1:25:19 Cheese: Oh, absolutely, yeah, I've never sailed anything.

1:25:24 Brennan: You see Garthy smiles and they kind of flip a little, like, a coin amongst their fingers for a second.

1:25:30 Garthy: Well, you know, as the owner of a ship, and I'm a business owner myself, so I sort of put some thought into these sort of things. You're gonna need to think about hiring a crew, quartermaster, bosun. Probably the most important decision you're going to make is about who you're going to hire as captain, yeah?

1:25:46 Cheese: Oh yeah, absolutely. It's one of the, it's like the most important person. It's just like-

1:25:54 Garthy: If I might weigh in here, there are certain traits that one should look for in a captain, yeah. Experience, a level head, yeah. The ability to make decisions quickly under fire, strong principles, strong morals, a strong back, broad shoulders, sort of handsome face, that kind of gray fox like older guy, like, you know, that sort of like, oh, like I bet he knows what he's doing. He's not going to waste my time in the sack, you know.

1:26:32 Carlos: Cheese keeps looking back and forth, he's not even looking at Cheese, he's looking directly at Jack the entire time. And like, Cheese is just looking at them make eye contact, and he's just like,

1:26:42 Cheese: [looking back and forth between Garthy and Jack] I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me.

1:26:51 Garthy: So like, you know, consider yeah, that's all I'm trying to say.

1:26:57 Cheese: Oh yeah, consider? Jack's at the top of my list, are you kidding?

1:27:02 Garthy: Oh my goodness! Jack! Wow, what a connection. Yeah, that honestly, oh my God. You're 100% right, that's like, yeah. Wow, Jack checks almost all those boxes off that list. Wow, that's incredible. Well, you know, I think you should consider him, definitely put him at the top of your list. You know, do interviews or whatever, but yeah.

1:27:25 Cheese: No interviews. Like Jack, do you want a boat, I can get you a boat. Do you want one?

1:27:33 Matt: [laughs] That once seen soft grin curls a second time across Jack's face as he sits there, his arms crossed and considers, his eyes kind of closing in a somewhat blushing acceptance and goes,

1:27:45 Jack: Well, you know, I think in hindsight my biggest mistake when I made my first voyage was not really having a reason to come back, or something to look forward to when the return journey, if I could have a promise to that, maybe I'll be liable to enjoy some time at sea.

1:28:06 Matt: He goes ahead and gives a look back at them, Garthy.

1:28:09 Brennan: Garthy smiles and says,

1:28:14 Garthy: I'm not in the habit of making those kinds of promises. But I would say the odds are extremely in your favor.

1:28:24 Jack: Strangely, for the first time I'm seeing myself as a gambling man.

1:28:31 Brennan: [laughs] See Tulwar looks down at you and says,

1:28:31 Tulwar: I er, I don't see very well, but it feels like the sexual energy is incredibly powerful.

1:28:35 Cheese: Oh yeah.

1:28:40 Marcid: All right, I hope this isn't awakening something in me.

1:28:46 Cheese: It's very strong, I've been avoiding using the word “seamen” the entire time.

1:28:53 Brennan: Elsewhere in the crowd, Sunny, you're surrounded by these pirate elders that are talking to you, who are sharing Tulwar's story of you racing in, saving Tulwar’s life, going prostrate over his body, smiting these people left and right. And you see they're just celebrating you and Lonnie and being like,

1:29:13 Pirate Elders: Oh, that's right, you've heard of young Sunny Biscotto. She's a demon with that hook and stick, haha, never seen a weapon like it. And I'll tell you what's more. She flies with the wind under her wings, old Jane Wren’s got her favor.

1:29:31 Marisha: Sunny's just like a little kid in a sea of adults, just almost like talking over her and she's really overwhelmed and she's kind of getting knocked around and nodding. And she's gonna like, take a few steps back and start making her way towards Tulwar.

1:29:49 Brennan: You start making your way towards Tulwar, oh yeah, you see Tulwar talking with Cheese, Jack and Garthy, and yeah you approach the group of them.

1:30:01 Sunny: This pirate stuff can be overwhelming. All right, well guess I should go tell my parents that I'm not dead.

1:30:13 Brennan: [laughs] Sunny, as you say that you, you hear a squawking and you see all like group moving through the crowd approaching.

1:30:22 Sunny: Oh no.

1:30:25 Brennan: Pushing through the crowd, the crowd parts, and the entire Biscotto family pushes out, looks at you, you see they have huge stacks of these wanted posters in their hands. They look over,

1:30:38 Roger: Well jeepers, kiddo, we were-

1:30:46 Sunny: Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

1:30:48 Brennan: He says,

1:30:48 Roger: Sunny, we were putting up flyers on one of the elevators and Edith was counting out copper pieces and mentioned that you had, that she saw you with a rum barrel lid, and we don't drink alcohol. So where did you get a rum barrel lid from? And that's the least of our worries. You're covered head to toe in blood.

1:31:09 Sunny: Okay, okay. Article number nine in the pirate's code is to always be honest with your crew, and especially your parents. (all laughing) Marcid shakes his head in disagreement.

1:31:26 Sunny: Mom, Dad, little Biscottos. I am not a follower of the good, the good Sol. I am actually a pirate paladin of our good goddess pirate Jane Wren. And I'm kind of a pirate now, and also, maybe helped save Leviathan with all of these people. So not dead, just a pirate. And a hero.

1:32:13 Brennan: Your mother and father are stone faced looking at you. You worship a different god, you're a pirate. You see Tulwar steps over in the stunned silence, and goes,

1:32:28 Tulwar: Your daughter, hello, I'm Tulwar, I'm a member of the Ramble, one of the pirate lords of Leviathan.

1:32:37 Sunny: This is my mentor. He's a minotaur.

1:32:40 Tulwar: I am her menotaur. (laughs)

1:32:44 Sunny: [laughs] I love that one.

1:32:47 Tulwar: Just to say, your daughter is an extremely exceptional pirate. She's blessed by the Goddess of the Horizon and Adventure. She's a demon in a fight, it's incredible. She hooked someone behind the esophagus and tore their throat out.

1:33:02 Marcid: She defeated me in single combat.

1:33:06 Brennan: You see, look over at you, you see that silence descends again, your mom full vomits on the ground. Your dad goes,

1:33:15 Roger: Oh my God, I knew it, I knew, I said, we're gonna move to the city and there's gonna be rock and roll music, and there's gonna be all this other kinds of stuff going on.

1:33:28 Sunny: Dad, dad, okay. Calm down, first off. Just because I am not being influenced by the things that you anticipated, doesn't mean that they're not positive influences. These people are my friends and you know, I bet Sol and Jane Wren are like super good friends.

1:33:55 Brennan: Your mother and father look, go ahead actually, and give me a persuasion check, let's go ahead and give me a persuasion check.

1:34:06 Aabria: I just want in the background for Myrtle to have ripped out another soul, and it's on fire and she just waves it at Sunny. (Marisha laughs)

1:34:15 Sunny: My friends!

1:34:17 Marisha: 19.

1:34:19 Brennan: You see your mother and father both look at you and say,

1:34:22 Biscottos: But, our, this is not our, we all, you know, [singing] begin begin, begin each day with joyful hearts. What are, what are we, if we're not all the same?

1:34:43 Sunny: Mom, Dad, we are still the same. Nothing has changed. I've been up to this shit for like— [covers her mouth] oop!

1:34:57 Brennan: Dante, your little brother goes,

1:34:57 Dante: Whoo! [Carlos laughs]

1:35:02 Brennan: You see, your siblings have been totally quiet, but they look, and you see that your next oldest sibling, Vee, steps out and goes,

1:35:17 Vee: I think it's okay that Sunny believes in a different god. We're, we're not all the same. I don't know that, I don't know that my life, I don't know that I want to necessarily revere any god. Maybe I don't.

1:35:34 Brennan: Your littler sister, Laurie, who's like 14, steps out and just goes,

1:35:37 Laurie: I'm gay. I'm gay, I'm a gay person.

1:35:42 Brennan: You see Dante, your littlest brother goes,

1:35:45 Dante: I believe in the devil.

1:35:47 Sunny: You don't, Dante, you don't. Don't just say things to be just cuts, you have a problem with that.

1:35:53 Dante: I believe in the devil, I believe in him.

1:35:55 Sunny: Dante!

1:35:56 Brennan: You see Laurie says,

1:35:56 Laurie: Look, Sunny is a part of this family, and if she wants to go on an adventure, she's a grownup, she's 18, she can go on an adventure. She looks great. What happened? You have like your feathers and everything. You look awesome.

1:36:14 Sunny: Yeah. Yeah!

1:36:20 Brennan: You see your parents, look, they look at each other and they go,

1:36:23 Biscottos: You know... Wherever you go and whatever you do, we love you. And if it means that you worship, what'd you say Jane Wren?

1:36:47 Sunny: Yeah. She's this awesome pirate god.

1:36:50 Biscottos: Okay, okay.

1:36:54 Brennan: You see that Tulwar says,

1:36:54 Tulwar: Yes she actually used to be a person.

1:36:58 Brennan: And you see that your parents go,

1:36:58 Biscottos: Oh, oh so you know, maybe it's like that she's like a saint, right. You know, like maybe it's not a full, maybe there's some, some wiggle room.

1:37:09 Sunny: We can start with that and work on it. It'll be a, it'll be work in progress, that's okay.

1:37:17 Brennan: You see your siblings all smiling. You look down and see your younger siblings like Vee and Laurie look at you, your bravery in saying this to your parents, you can tell has made life way easier for your younger siblings. That they were able to say this stuff because you were the first one out on the limb. Laurie and Vee both give you a big hug.

1:37:45 Sunny: Oh, I just scoop them all up. We'll kind of try to bring mom and dad in, and then just say,

1:37:51 Sunny: We'll always be family. Nothing can change that. No matter what we are, or who we are.

1:38:02 Brennan: You see, they smile. There's some tears shed to get a big hug, and they go,

1:38:09 Biscottos: Okay, all right, you're gonna go on adventures. I'm gonna go and make sure that you got lunches packed and make sure that you got everything you need. You got snacks for the trip.

1:38:20 Sunny: Really, will you pack the sweet pickles too?

1:38:23 Biscottos: Yeah.

1:38:23 Sunny: They're my favorites. And you have to cut the crust off of the sandwich.

1:38:28 Polly: I know how you, sweetie, I didn't raise you from an egg to not know that you take the crusts cut off your sandwiches, okay, I know, I know.

1:38:38 Brennan: Sunny is surrounded by her loving family processing the news of their piratical daughter. The celebration continues, Myrtle, you finished pulling the last tiefling soul. The lamps are disarmed, Jamina smiles.

1:38:57 Jamina: Thank you for this service to the city you have done.

1:39:02 Myrtle: If you ever find any extra treasure laying around just, Temple of Umberlee, down in Jetsam.

1:39:11 Jamina: Perhaps a contribution is in order.

1:39:17 Brennan: At saying the name of your goddess too, you hear distant crashing of waves at the edge of the Leviathan, and the sort of sultry voice calling out to you as well, Myrtle.

1:39:30 Myrtle: Oh, hold that... Is it a thought? I don't-

1:39:35 Aabria: And then she's just gonna slither away.

1:39:37 Brennan: The way to the edge. You look at the dark ocean as night truly falls here in the Ramble, and shadow and mist and salt air, whum, face of Umberlee appears again before you.

1:39:59 Umberlee: You sent many souls down to my hungry mouth, Myrtle, and that stone tablet, I wouldn't mind holding on to that. But I've been thinking perhaps it would be better if no one, and no one, none of the inhabitants of Leviathan knew where it was established or where you dropped it into the deep sea.

1:40:32 Brennan: She looks at you and says,

1:40:32 Umberlee: Myrtle, I've been thinking, I don't take on many clerics, mortals are somewhat loathsome to me, as well you are aware, and very few how the strength of will to tread my path. However you have acquitted yourself most ferociously here.

1:40:55 Myrtle: Thanks.

1:40:56 Umberlee: This druid who dared to call upon the weather, is she the only one of her order, this Alamaria?

1:41:05 Myrtle: Oh, no, there are others.

1:41:10 Umberlee: How much longer do you imagine there will still be others?

1:41:17 Myrtle: Good question. I'll get right on that.

1:41:22 Umberlee: Ah, my vicious daughter. Quite worth the spells.

1:41:33 Brennan: And Umberlee vanishes. Amazing.

1:41:40 Aabria: I think she slithers back like pretty immediately and goes up to Jack, having kind of passively heard while she was pulling spells and just turns to him and like the whole group, and just,

1:41:50 Myrtle: If you don't bring me onto your crew, I'm gonna sink your fucking ship. (Brennan and Carlos laugh)

1:41:59 Brennan: Amazing.

1:42:02 Marisha: I run up behind Myrtle, and I say,

1:42:02 Sunny: I'm coming too! If you'll have me, master Cheese.

1:42:11 Cheese: Oh, oh yeah, perfect, we need a first mate. Two first mates, yeah. Oh, this is great! I'm like the manager of all this, yeah.

1:42:22 Sunny: You're the best.

1:42:25 Marcid: What's the name of the person that like sneaks ahead of you lot and kills the important people before you get there? I want that job.

1:42:35 Jack: Scout?

1:42:38 Marcid: Scout’s as good of a title. Doesn't quite encapsulate what I'm envisioning, but that's fine, sure.

1:42:44 Jack: Consider it's got big, heavy quotations around it.

1:42:48 Marcid: Oh right, I'll be a “scout.”

1:42:51 Jack: Aye.

1:42:51 Marcid: Right.

1:42:55 Cheese: It's all coming together now.

1:42:57 Marcid: Well, I'll be prepared to ship out whenever you are. However,

1:43:01 B. Dave: I turn my palm over where I just nicked some of the coins when Tulwar kicked over the chest upstairs, it's like,

1:43:08 Marcid: I need to make a quick delivery first.

1:43:12 B. Dave: I'm going to leave and find those kenku. Aabria and Brennan ‘aww’.

1:43:17 Brennan: Marcid takes off, I think Jack and Myrtle and Cheese, let me know if anyone else has any of those things up there. What's Bob up to during all this celebration? Trixie's obviously delighted that you're here, but you do see like stars glittering in the sky.

1:43:41 Krystina: Oh, perfect. I wanna tell my mom what happened.

1:43:46 Brennan: You walk to the edge of the edge of Crow’s Feet looking up at the stars and you see some shooting stars, and only to you, the stars swirl, and you see your mother’s beautiful face.

1:43:59 Bob: Oh, well, you know what? Hi, I miss you, and we've finished our, well, we didn't really finish our adventure because there's still another thing that we've got to do, which involves us getting on a boat and going to make sure that Cheese gets his brother back, because it's the only thing that we've kind of missed in the whole equation. But I really wanted to run something by you because I'm workshopping something that I started writing today.

1:44:23 Zarael: My darling, I would be delighted to hear your song.

1:44:29 Bob: It's really rough, but it's about the adventure in that way I killed two birds with one stone because I can tell you all about what happened and be like a true bard, like Dad. And I can also tell you what happened even though you kind of already know, 'cause you know, everything before and after it happened.

1:44:46 Brennan: She smiles and says,

1:44:46 Zarael: Oh my darling daughter, I love it. Yes, of course.

1:44:54 Bob: [sings] All's well that ends well, that's what they say We went on an adventure and picked up piratin’ We saved the day, so sit down and you'll hear our story Sunny went from novice to a force majeure Myrtle's still the baddest B on land and on the shore Jacky lost and found himself, to a degree Marcid smashed a motherfucker, but let's not forget Cheese The bravest little gnomey that you ever did see These pirates will be known throughout all of history Sunny, Marcid, Myrtle, Bob, Jacky and Cheese Sunny, Marcid, Myrtle, Bob, Jacky and Cheese (players applaud)

1:45:41 Brennan: The stars sparkle, comets, and shooting stars, magnificent. Your mother turns and looks over. You look up in the sky, Bob and hear,

1:45:51 Octavio: Bravo, bravo, bravo, magnificent, magnificent, hurray, hurray!

1:45:56 Brennan: And see a tiny little constellation of a rowboat and a little man made of stars moving along.

1:46:04 Octavio: You're the best darling, I can't believe I didn't miss a thing, I got here, I got into the sky just the moment you started singing. Oh, you're brilliant, you're lovely.

1:46:13 Bob: Don't drink and row your boat.

1:46:16 Octavio: No, no I'm dead sober. Little bit of weed, but dead sober.

1:46:20 Brennan: And you see this and scoots along. Your mother says,

1:46:26 Zarael: Octavio, you, you've arrived.

1:46:30 Brennan: He says,

1:46:30 Octavio: Darling love, I've been looking for you forever. I can't believe I made it back. Did you hear our girl's beautiful song? She'll put all the legends to shame, I know you will. Good luck on your pirate adventure darling.

1:46:47 Bob: Thanks, Dad.

1:46:49 Brennan: The stars twinkle and fade. The rest of you have a ball partying in the Ramble. Marcid, you make your way all the way down to Mast Hearth and find the little tent that the kenku are dwelling in down there. And you can see you see inside them finishing that little crust of bread. And you hear the mother saying,

1:47:16 Brigitte: Well, I don't know someone must've left it, some kind soul, but you know, when there's strokes of bad luck, sometimes they're fair folks and nixies off the sea come by and leave a crust of bread for those in poor fortune. But don't worry, we'll find a way out of this young ones.

1:47:40 Marcid: [clears throat] Excuse me.

1:47:43 Brennan: Mama kenku bursts out of the tent with a frying pan in both hands. And says,

1:47:48 Brigitte: Well you've come back to take the crust of bread out of our beaks then have you?

1:47:55 Marcid: I haven't, I've come to deliver a message.

1:48:00 Brennan: The dad comes out and the little kenku kids come out and they all look up at you waiting to see what your message is going to be.

1:48:09 Marcid: There was a clerical error. Your mom was right all along and you all were owed something.

1:48:16 B. Dave: And I just put down the stacks of coins. And I'm like,

1:48:19 Marcid: Listen to her, she's smart and brave, and so's your pop.

1:48:26 Brennan: They look stunned. The three little kenkus go,

1:48:29 Kenku Kids: Smart and brave, and so's our pop, smart and brave, and so's our pop, that's right.

1:48:36 Marcid: Righto, do you lads wanna see a magic trick?

1:48:41 Brennan: They look, you see the dad goes, he goes,

1:48:43 Mr. Corbie: Right, thank you.

1:48:47 B. Dave: Murder the family. (laughs)

1:48:51 Brennan: The mom and dad looks, and she's, Briggite says,

1:48:52 Brigitte: I can't believe it, the insurance paid out.

1:48:57 Brennan: And you see that the dad goes,

1:48:57 Mr. Corbie: Right, it seems to— these coins have some bits of blood on them.

1:49:04 Marcid: Yeah, they were blessed, they're luckier that way.

1:49:09 Brennan: The kids say,

1:49:09 Kenku Kids: We want to see a magic trick.

1:49:13 Marcid: Right? Nothing up me sleeves, right?

1:49:16 B. Dave: And Rope Trick up into the sky. (both laughing)

1:49:22 Brennan: Marcid is gone.

1:49:25 B. Dave: And then pull the rope up after.

1:49:28 Brennan: Marcid is gone, and on the grim bugbear’s face the celebration of the family, perhaps where none could see it to threaten Marcid's fearsome reputation.

1:49:42 B. Dave: [as Marcid] I do, I do have an image to maintain, you know.

1:49:48 Brennan: [laughs] Incredible, the Kenkus smile and celebrate. Marcid has tied up that loose end, the last or the spread of the second to last thing I will ask. Cheese, you find yourself the owner of a boat with a captain, a crew, a first mate, a ship's cleric. Tulwar is talking with you about-

1:50:14 B. Dave: A scout.

1:50:15 Brennan: A scout, Marcid, actually before you leave, I think Tulwar goes like, talks about you. He says,

1:50:20 Tulwar: Listen, you're fearsome in battle to be sure, but a good boat does need a good quartermaster, And I trust you with the ledger book as much as I do that trident.

1:50:35 Marcid: Well, you know, it's good to be versatile I suppose.

1:50:40 B. Dave: And I like twirl the two different weapons in my hands. Sure.

1:50:47 Brennan: Cheese, you, as the night begins to wind down, you see Sunny with her family, Bob talking to hers, all of these things have gone on, the only person here who, you know, you sort of see the difference in your crew where, Jack and Sunny and Bob all have these sort of relationships to their family, then Myrtle and Marcid are more hardened pirates who seem to be able to fend very well for themselves. You know where your brother is, and you also probably know where your parents are, and you know that you have a boat that will be ready to sail on the morrow, where does Cheese go that night?

1:51:34 Carlos: Cheese goes to the boat, everyone's still at the party. And he goes to the boat, has a little bag of stuff. And he looks at it. He looks at it like where to go below deck, where the captain's quarters would be. He looks at the front of the ship, and then he looks up to the crow's nest where he's always wanted to be. And he will be the first person to see his brother. And he climbs to the top, and he just waits.

1:52:12 Brennan: You get to the top of the crow's nest, and you are in the crow's nest of your ship, correct?

1:52:24 Carlos: Yes.

1:52:26 Brennan: You're in the crow’s nest of your ship, you hear a flapping of wings behind you, and you see light. A young woman stands on like the sort of the side mast of this ship where the sails are sort of wrapped up. She is a young, beautiful, tall, about six and a half feet, tall, strong, beautiful young Black woman with wings made of pure fire, and glowing orange tattoos along her arms. A gout of flames, sort of in a Mohawk, is the only sort of fire on top of her head. And she has from the knees down sort of bird's talons, digitigrade ankles, she looks at you holding Marcid's other letter, and regards you. She goes,

1:53:33 Ayda: You're Cheese of Cannon Court, correct?

1:53:38 Cheese: Yeah, yeah, er wow, er yeah, I'm Cheese, I'm Cheese.

1:53:44 Brennan: She folds the letter, places it.

1:53:45 Ayda: My apologies for my lateness, in addition to being the mistress of the Compass Points Library, I also am in a committed relationship with a rock star who lives in Solace. So I have to split time between those two locations.

1:54:01 Cheese: Yeah, oh, yeah, I know, I keep up with all the papers and all those, that's amazing, yeah.

1:54:07 Ayda: I am Ayda Aguefort, Mistress of the Compass Points. It's been brought to my attention you are a young wizard, is this correct?

1:54:14 Cheese: Yes.

1:54:16 Ayda: May I observe your Trapper Keeper?

1:54:19 Cheese: Uh, yeah.

1:54:21 Carlos: Yeah, he pulls out a Trapper Keeper, and hands it to her. Starts kind of making excuses for it.

1:54:28 Cheese: Oh, a lot of these, a lot, a lot of the pages are torn. It's a lot, a lot of the stuff that I'm scribbling in the notes I had to like, I don't know the real languages or exactly how, how this stuff works, exactly. A lot of that I put, I put together. It's not, it's not-

1:54:44 Ayda: Your voice keeps stuttering over and over again, are you nervous right now?

1:54:51 Cheese: I'm always, I'm always nervous, yes.

1:54:54 Ayda: Why?

1:54:56 Cheese: Um, I don't know.

1:55:07 Ayda: I'm going to be frank with you. I command the wind and stars, I am a powerful wizard. Last year I stormed the nine Hells to save my paramour.

1:55:20 Brennan: You see, she says,

1:55:20 Ayda: And I also get nervous a lot. It's okay to be nervous, but I hope you are not nervous around me. I heard of your story and that you are off on an adventure to save your brother, this is a noble calling. I hope you do well. Am I conveying to you affection correctly? You're getting that I'm being affectionate, yes?

1:55:50 Cheese: I don't have a lot of experience, but I guess so, yes, I mean on paper, it sounds 100%.

1:55:56 Ayda: You don't have a lot of experience with affection? I understand that Leviathan can be an unkind place to grow up. Do you have any family left here in the city?

1:56:08 Carlos: And like Cheese is like,

1:56:08 Cheese: Ye- No, not in the city.

1:56:18 Brennan: She narrows her eyes and looks at you and says,

1:56:18 Ayda: Very well.

1:56:22 Brennan: She casts a spell, some act of divination. And she says,

1:56:30 Ayda: I've asked the winds and the mists of all the 17 seas to come together and agree with you that you have no family here in the city. Any who live in this city that operate under the mistaken assumption that they are your family will find locating you, troubling you, harassing you, or ever being unkind to you again, to be an impossibility for you and your brother.

1:57:03 Cheese: [smiles] Thank you.

1:57:04 Ayda: Here is a very large book of spells, it's a present, I hope you enjoy it, don't tell me if you don't, it will hurt my feelings.

1:57:12 Cheese: Oh, thank you! This is… Oh, it even has that new smell, spell smell. Oh yes. Thank you so much!

1:57:28 Brennan: [laughs] She smiles,

1:57:30 Ayda: Your adventure awaits. The Crow’s Keep will be open to you whenever you are ready. I'm out of things to say. Do you have any things to say or are we done talking?

1:57:49 Cheese: [shakes his head and stutters] We're done. We're done talking, yes.

1:57:53 Ayda: Okay. I consider you a friend. I hope you do the same to me. You can think about it, you don't have to answer now. Goodbye, Cheese. (screeches)

1:58:02 Brennan: Flies off into the sky. Cheese watches her fly off, mouth agape.

1:58:06 Brennan: You, the next morning arrives. Cheese, you're in the little sort of like there's a little cabin for sort of crew members of the ships. You got your books up there, there's lights and lanterns, taking notes, Trapper Keeper, you've got this whole huge book of new spells to go over. It's a bright new morning, the new crew of the ship, unnamed ship, by the way, gang, maybe something that master Cheese or somebody should get on. But people are coming up and down the gangplank, getting ready for the ship to set sail. People are at the Harbor getting ready to say goodbye. You guys are off in the Hulcliff area, getting ready to get lowered down to the water. Bob, you see Trixie's there just weeping.

1:58:55 Trixie: I don't know, listen, there's not gonna, the show’s not gonna be as good without you. And I'll miss you, and just please stay safe, and come back home.

1:59:05 Bob: I'll come back for twilight performances.

1:59:09 Trixie: Oh you're a doll, babe, knock 'em dead. You're gonna be great, I know it. [blows a kiss]

1:59:17 Brennan: Garthy waves over at you too Bob and says,

1:59:19 Garthy: Bobby, take care of that voice love, and take care of that body and take care of your heart as well. I know you're looking for adventure, love, and I know you're gonna find it. You're gonna do great darling, believe me.

1:59:34 Bob: You're the most encouraging person I've ever met in my entire life.

1:59:38 Garthy: Hey, encouragement's a form of pleasure, yeah. It's all about feeling good.

1:59:44 Brennan: You see Cheese, you got your whole boat going. You also you're all decked out. For anybody else here, does anyone have any last things they do as the ship is getting ready to set sail? Any new gear.

2:00:01 B. Dave: Well, everyone is there. I just say,

2:00:03 Marcid: So, I'm not the poet of the group really, that's Bob, you know, but I've been thinking about this name thing, and I know Sunny is going a different path from Sol and the old ship was the Late Bloomer. What if we called this one the Harvest Moon?

2:00:28 Cheese: Woo, woo, not a poet, huh? Yeah, right! I love it! The HM. Yes!

2:00:42 Marcid: To the HM.

2:00:46 Brennan: With a flash of cantrip, The Harvest Moon is painted across the prow. You see Garthy calls out and says,

2:00:52 Garthy: Champagne, lovey. No, no, not the expensive stuff, it's a ship, love, no one's drinking this.

2:00:59 Brennan: And takes a bottle of champagne, smashes it against the prow of the ship.

2:01:06 Aabria: Garthy was handed champagne by my boy, Olive, who Myrtle has been chatting with back and forth, like going over directions on how to make drinks and loading on just an aggressive amount of alcohol.

2:01:21 Brennan: You see crates and crates of like flutes and tumblers and shot glasses are going on board. Way more than a ship should be stocked for. Olive's like,

2:01:30 Olive: Right, I just want, I'll do mint in this one sometimes just a sprig, but you don't need much of the little garnish.

2:01:39 Myrtle: Okay, the twist, I think I got it, got it, thank you.

2:01:46 Brennan: Garthy waves up also to you Jack and says,

2:01:50 Garthy: You look rather dashing on the prow of a ship, love, I have to say.

2:01:55 Matthew: As he's finishing the last bit of rope that's taking the mast piece and is affixing it as the bow sprit, the pole at the very front of the ship stands up kind of arching with renewed posture and looks back over towards Garthy and says,

2:02:12 Jack: Well, thank you very much. Tell you what, when I come back, and I claim absolutely no exclusivities to such a wondrous beast as yourself… Garthy puts their hands up to their face, coyly.

2:02:23 Jack: I'd say it's your turn to play little spoon, aye.

2:02:28 Garthy: I'll play whatever you like, lovey, just come back.

2:02:32 Brennan: And you see Tulwar comes on deck. You have, Jack you're fitted out. You have like a captain's coat on with buttons on it. And Garthy, there's a little case left from Garthy after they have already turned to leave. You open it up, 'cause you're affixing your mast to the prow of the ship, right?

2:02:53 Matt: Uh huh.

2:02:55 Brennan: You open it, a gleaming golden-hilted double-handed falchion waits for you in this gleaming case.

2:03:10 Jack: [laughs] They really are something special, aren't they. (Brennan laughs)

2:03:15 Matt: As I pull the blade forth, kind of wield the blade a bit and say,

2:03:22 Jack: I'm gonna call this the Garden's Point.

2:03:29 Brennan: [laughs] Hell yes. The ship hits the water. Leviathan moves away through the waves. Cheese, you have your star maps open. You know the bearings. Jack is at the helm. You have a cleric of the Goddess of the Underseas to protect you from what ill fates might befall you.

2:03:57 Aabria: She's cradling the Daughter of Storms by the way.

2:04:00 Brennan: Oh, yeah, our one last piece of business. You set your course for the coast of the Nightmare Forest, where you know your brother yet lives. As you guys tear away and the Leviathan begins to fade into the distance Myrtle you were at the edge of the ship.

2:04:19 Myrtle: Now I know I'm supposed to drop it in.

2:04:22 Aabria: And she like looks over at Bob.

2:04:25 Myrtle: I'm supposed to drop it in and then it goes away to my mistress forever. Or my storms.

2:04:37 Brennan: You say “my storms,” and you hear (imitates thunder) on the horizon.

2:04:49 Myrtle: Any thoughts?

2:04:50 Brennan: As you say, any thoughts you hear and you look out and see whirlpools beginning to form around. Myrtle drops it.

2:04:56 Brennan: You [mimics dropping] plonk.

2:05:02 B. Dave: Right after I see her drop it, I do just sort of appear from the shadows right behind her. And I'm like,

2:05:06 Marcid: There is only one rule, love, only one.

2:05:12 Myrtle: Ugh! I know.

2:05:15 Brennan: You set sail watching that incredible artifact just sink, it's worth so much money, sink away in the sea. But there are plenty of places that belong to the Crescent Moon Trading Company along that coastline, plenty of wicked pretenders to the storm to punish, friends to save. You have a cleric of the Underseas with you. One whose literal mother shaped the stars, and who can read your charts to arrive there. Cheese, you stand aboard your ship looking up at its proud old captain at the helm, the fearsome Marcid the Typhoon, waiting by the door to the decks below having taken care of all the paperwork to get this ship off, sailing on the right foot. And flying overhead as the sun sets, your first mate with the wind of adventure underneath her wing.

2:06:15 Marisha: And I just do a loop over the waves and fly through the sails. And you see one of my colored wings just fly past the camera and wipe the screen. (all laughing)

2:06:22 Aabria: Yeah!

2:06:28 Brennan: Yay, that's been Pirates of Leviathan! (cast cheers and claps)

2:06:35 Brennan: Thank you all so much for watching. What a joy playing with the six of you. Thank you so much, what an adventure, what a time. We'll catch you again here on Dimension 20. (cheers)

2:06:48 B. Dave: Wait, wait.

2:06:50 Brennan: Oh sorry.

2:06:51 B. Dave: Thank you, Brennan.

2:06:51 Matt: Thank you Brennan. (all applauding)

2:06:57 Brennan: Absolute joy. Later, whoo.

2:07:01 B. Dave: Bye, Barnacle Buddies. (bright dramatic music)
