Part 1

Brontë. Dorian. You look out over the deep unbroken blue of the Ozmit Sea from the safety of the airship that Lord Eshteross so graciously lent you and Cyrus.
Cyrus. You watch him sleep fitfully beneath his gray cloak. He seems too wild and too wide for this cramped space. He’s not built for this. None of it.
You catch your reflection in the window. Both Wyvernwind sons and heirs to the laurels and stewardship of The Silken Squall, both haunted by expectations and doubts, both hunted by the random misfortunes that arise from a life as an adventurer. And yet, you both reached for it.
You’re well on your way now to Tal’Dorei, fleeing Cyrus’s problems, but drawing ever closer to your own in Emon.
You know what’s waiting there.
You can’t talk to Cyrus about it. he doesn’ tunderstand. It’s all on you right now.
So you form a plan, a thought, to reach out to friends? You have one incredible ally in Shaun Gilmore.
You can bring what’s left of the gang on this continent back together. You know that if you call, they will find you. Even though it’s been almost a year, the bonds that you forged running across the continent, those don’t go away.
Your eyes trail back to the window and that uninterrupted blue on blue of sky and sea. You’re able to put it away, that fear, that worry for the unknown. You’re a little stronger now, a little braver, a little bolder, a little smarter than when you left. I said a little.
You’re ready, in as much as you can believe that for yourself. You can protect him. You can fix this.
As you start to ruminate on how, and how even to begin, you are snapped from your reverie, and you find yourself already here in the city of Kymal at a gambling table with your full crew.
You guys have been here for like, I’m going to say half a day, enough time to just begin to relax into saying your "hi"s and get into a little bit of trouble here at The Maiden’s Wish.
You are in the city of Kymal. It is known for its casinos and truly nothing else. It is a muddy little backwater that was built on the back of a gold rush decades and decades past, and the casino scene and that low-level crime syndicate that gives you a very Reno now or Vegas in the 1950s flare permeates through everything.
This is the perfect place to lay low because you’re not the worst people in the room by a long shot.

      I really love heist-themed shows. Leverage is one show in particular, that I think is underrated.

    Highlights

    • 00:12:47 Fy’ra:“Well, it’s been a little over a year since I left them before they left each other. It’s been a little over a year since I found out my sister is still alive, and I have yet to fucking find her. I have been scouring the continent. I have been going to every resource that I possibly have. I even returned to Niirdal-Poc because I was so beside myself. I thought that maybe I would be able to ask the Tetrarchs for some assistance in searching for her, and all they could bestow upon me was some peace and meditation and reminding me that the Gift would-- If she was in immediate danger the Gift would show me where she was.
      I haven’t been able to connect with her through the Gift since that one flash when I was back with Tetrarch Thrascuur. So, even though I have found my way back to my chosen family and feel solid in my desire to protect them, and feel like, “Okay, at least I know I am needed somewhere because my loved ones are here,” I am also trying to suss out anyone that might be useful in finding a very missing person.”
    • 00:16:23 Aabria:“Start off with, what does Opal look like? Because when last we saw her, you know, big terrifying circlet, dripping black ichor down your forehead. Is that the fit right now?”
      Aimee:“That’s the fit, but she is using her Actor feat to Disguise Self because it is a terrifying image. She still has the circlet, and it’s very much entrenched in her skin. She tried to remove it at the end of our last sesh. Wasn’t able to, and her clothes are stained with oil or whatever goop came out of that. She’s tried to wash it out, but it’s still permanently not looking as sharp as it was. She’s got stained hands from when she tried to remove it. She still has her opal necklace, which is her connection to Ted, and yeah.
      So she’s looking pretty rough normally, but tonight she has changed into her normal, usual self. She’s got her hair up in a nice updo and maybe she, I don’t know, stole a fur bolero, or maybe she still has it from that one time.”
    • 00:27:46 It is extremely crowded down here on the main casino floor. I’ll give you a quick rundown because you are able to see some signs in this central area.
      You notice that, off to your right, at the very edges, you see the high roller den is back behind the main game floor.
      Down to the south, you see a spa and some iconography as to suggest it is dragon themed.
      You see that off to the west, there’s the buffet. It’s called The Taste of Tal’Dorei.
    • 00:32:41 Erica is pulled into a complex description after Matt orders “the bread” saying that it is code for a special drink where she is working. It backfires spectacularly.
    • 00:39:00 Dariax and Cyrus fight over an olive that fell on the ground.
    • 00:48:30 Dariax:“Well, we started by peeing off a rooftop, and then we ended up getting in trouble with these people in Emon that were big thieves and shit.
      Then we went into a big mountain where there was like a fiery letter or something.
      And then we ended up going by this door to the Feywild. And then we ended up going to a place deep in a jungle where there was awesome elephant people.
      And then I met like a big cat statue and put its spirit inside me. And then we fought like a giant floating box thing. It turned into a big angry face.
      And then my friend got a crown and it’s crazy.”
    • 01:02:33 a symbol inbetween the Hand of the Clasp and The Star of the Myriad. The Sigil of The Nameless Ones.
    • 01:10:33 You would tell them to meet you outside. So there’s a bunch of different theater halls, and they would normally be running several shows. There was a wonderful residency artist named Tharla Starr that’s been performing for months. But for whatever reason in the last week or so, the other two theaters were shut down and it’s this godawful one-man show lounge revue of “In the Belly Of Dragons: The Legend of Scanlan Shorthalt and Vox Machina Musical Revue” being put on by the nephew of the owner. So you could meet in front of that theater because no one else is going to be there.
    • 01:26:26 Morrighan is revealed to be a sort of casino-robbing Ocean’s Eleven character!
      INTERMISSION
      So our intrepid heroes have come together to begin a poodle to rob The Maiden’s Wish blind and try to make their way out of the besieged city of Kymal under the increasingly tight throttle of the Nameless Ones. Morrighan, your new ally and heist daddy has directed your attention to Phaedrov Krishtan, giving a one-man show in one hour, and you know what you need to do. Get the key to the penthouse so you can break in, loot there, grab blueprints, and find your way to the vault.

    • 02:29:52 Ted 2, the spider familiar!
    • 02:44:34 Dorian and Cyrus give their review of the Vox Machina Musical.
