Daughters of the Crown
What happens
- 00:01:05 Brennan's recap (recap): the party found Mira "in this ancestral sort of part of Pinocchio's story", fought the Mer-King at Bart's Funnel Cake and Cigar Shop on Toy Island, stabbed out the eyes of the "terrible Dogfish" after it ate the Mer-King, and were left with the Sea Witch and Mira, who strides toward the Sea Witch with a bloody conch shell.
- 00:02:01 The Sea Witch pleads "I can explain!"; the party hangs back; the Sea Witch flicks Mira a glowing nautilus shell and Mira gets her voice back, hoarse (00:02:53, 00:03:17).
- 00:03:33 The Sea Witch says she bought Mira's voice in a fair deal and wanted the prince killed; Mira says she loved him; the party awkwardly pretends to look elsewhere (00:03:49, 00:04:10, 00:05:14).
- 00:05:30 Cricket crawls out of Pinocchio's book, "I died!", is fed a lozenge and goes to bed on it (00:05:36, 00:06:17).
- 00:06:26 Mira and the Sea Witch are found foreheads together on a raised bridge; the party goes to the Whiskey and Bubblegum shop; Siobhan's Investigation for a bra finds only firecracker bloomers (00:06:37, 00:07:28).
- 00:07:57 Pinocchio shows how to drink whiskey with bubblegum; the group chokes on it; the two return reconciled (00:08:45, 00:09:25).
- 00:11:20 Mira swallows her gum, the Sea Witch bites it like a lime; she gives her name, Alba Mac Lir; Pib's Insight is a natural 20 (00:11:41, 00:12:22).
- 00:13:30 The party tells Alba of the princesses and the fairies; Alba says both sides have approached witches, sends Mira to ready the boat; she has a standing invitation from a golden fairy with turquoise hair; "none of us have seen reason to side with the princesses or the fairies" (00:14:05, 00:15:12, 00:18:00).
- 00:16:00 Alba says this is not the party's first life or world; the Baba Yaga was approached too; Alba is "a full witch" (00:16:00, 00:16:36, 00:17:05).
- 00:19:16 Mother Goose fails a Wisdom save and sees Alba living every version of her story at once; the name of the Authors is spoken (by Gerard's question, 00:21:17) and Alba has heard it once from Baba Yaga, whom she calls her older sister (00:19:36, 00:22:12).
- 00:23:04 Alba tells the full story of the prince's family, the dagger and the Little Mermaid: the prince's great-grandfather wronged her, Mira's sisters sold their hair for the knife, and Mira did not plunge it (00:23:04, 00:24:36, 00:25:14).
- 00:26:12 Charisma saves (Gerard 8, Pinocchio 16) after Pinocchio mentions the Authors; Brennan hands Murph a red bead (00:26:40, 00:26:53).
- 00:27:49 Alba will give a word of advice for something of value; a group dance and a Performance check (17 stands) fail to satisfy; the party trades the golden bridle (00:30:17, 00:32:41).
- 00:32:54 Alba relays Baba Yaga's meeting with Rapunzel and her question about "the truth" (00:32:54).
- 00:34:33 Mira, in pain and grieving, agrees to come along; Alba looks at the book, calls it a true book, mostly blank; she walks off across the sea into a storm and leaves the boat (00:34:48, 00:35:59, 00:38:55).
- 00:39:35 Rowing back; the party weighs its two to-dos, Death the Big Bad Wolf's promised audience with Baba Yaga against the princesses (00:39:48, 00:40:07); Rosamund leans Baba Yaga (00:42:10) but the party decides on the princesses; Pinocchio feels no pull of destiny (00:40:07, 00:40:29, 00:42:20).
- 00:42:25 Landing; the Baron of Bricks' self-driving carriage waits; Gerard confesses he is afraid to face Elody; Ylfa transforms into a "horse" and Mira is shown (00:42:40, 00:43:07, 00:44:38).
- 00:45:19 The carriage crosses the fallen Kingdom of Marienne: empty land, goats and sheep; Pib's false memory of leaves and vines; Pib: "I remember big feet prints around here" and Ylfa: "So this is where you're from" ("In the past one", 00:45:57-00:46:02); Pib finds the mule Alphonse with a false mustache (00:45:19, 00:46:34, 00:47:57).
- 00:48:10 Alphonse tells of The Lines Between collapsing ("That whole wing collapsed. There was some kind of monster", 00:49:23), Aesop and Scheherazade holding something at bay with their books while Aesop opened a door to send him (00:50:26), an older man from Pottingham asking about a beanstalk who "took off north" talking about giants (00:51:44-00:51:55), and bodies but no sign of "Tomas or his brothers": "There was a war here." (00:52:29).
- 00:57:24 Before the castle the party agrees a codeword: Gerard "we've got Arthurs", Pib "DW?", and they settle on "DW" to shout when they must go (00:57:28-00:57:35).
- 00:53:35 Back in the carriage; snowballs; the Snow Queen's castle and fresh barrows; Rosamund's History 21 (00:54:48, 00:56:05).
- 00:57:40 Cinderella comes out of invisibility and welcomes them to the castle of the "Consortium of Princesses, the Daughters of the Crown" (00:58:15); Mira is introduced; Rapunzel descends on her hair (00:59:03).
- 01:00:50 Perception checks in the hall; Cinderella explains how the princesses crossed worlds and says "we have seven of us here now" (01:00:58, 01:01:50, 01:02:22).
- 01:02:29 The map room: Snow White, dwarven attendants, La Bête and Elody (01:02:29).
- 01:04:36 Elody speaks privately with Gerard; the party's group Deception roll; the act is noticed, Gerard: "I didn't put them up to this" (01:05:19); Gerard apologises: "That's sort of why all my friends are putting on an act" (01:04:54, 01:05:53).
- 01:07:35 Elody explains her anger, says it is eased since she saw his body in Elegy, and that he "should have been swallowed by a heron in a lake outside the castle" after "a condition was met that never should've been met" (01:07:59); she leaves for a minute; Gerard sits in "perfect frog pose" (01:07:59, 01:11:51).
- 01:13:29 The party splits; Siobhan's natural 20 Perception reads Rapunzel as a performative person; Rapunzel tells how the Snow Queen was killed: "Snow White was able to overcome the tsar" before they marched on her, and "of the many worlds that there are, we can presume that the Snow Queen is alive and well" (01:14:26, 01:15:29, 01:16:48).
- 01:17:10 The Snow Queen's library: Mother Goose's Arcana (dirty 20) reveals an illustration of an inkwell; Snow White explains the ink and the book (01:18:02, 01:19:37).
- 01:24:00 Snow White: "my vision of the seven princesses being assembled was obviously incomplete" and the party "already dispatched the Baron of Bricks, which was my plan after dealing with Snowhold"; her next goal is to keep the ink from the fairies; the eight fairies are in this world; Cinderella reacts to the Stepmother (01:24:00, 01:25:18, 01:25:33).
- 01:27:08 Snow White asks where the Canonade is; the party deceives her about where it lies; Timothy: "with Red's connection to the Hungry One, we were able to get there through the bottom of the ocean" (01:27:42); Emily asks "Can I give a help check by making no reaction?" (01:27:53); Lou uses Lines of Destiny and rolls a d20 and tells Ally "You're going to take that 16" (01:28:00-01:28:09); Deception 24 (01:27:51, 01:28:18); Snow White: "The ink, we have just now discovered, is not in this world" (01:30:19).
- 01:29:45 Plans for the evening; Cinderella says the Gander's wings block leaving (01:29:51, 01:30:28).
- 01:31:15 Snow White offers warmer dresses; Rosamund distracts the princesses while the others snoop; Pib's Stealth finds a trail of moving hair along a hallway molding (01:31:42, 01:31:51).
- 01:32:45 In the Snow Queen's chambers, a winter-dress montage; Rosamund's Perception finds hand warmers and, on the balcony, the Snow Queen's head with a crown (01:34:08, 01:34:14).
- 01:35:09 Snow White asks Rosamund what she would change about her story; the three princesses talk about love and stories; Snow White says they are fighting for an end to the stories (01:35:18, 01:39:49): when her friends "were all killed" she had to rely on something other than hope, that "if it all just went away and all the pages drowned in ink ... maybe something new and better would come"; Cinderella: "a more final end than that" (than a head and a crown); Snow White whispers "as long as I'm around, the old stories of me will be around" (01:40:09-01:41:37).
- 01:42:06 Snow White asks her to think on it; the pink fur; an embrace; Rosamund rejoins the party and messages Timothy "D fucking W" (01:42:18, 01:43:15, 01:43:42).
