Step by step, wound by wound, we are made less. I will not have it. They have counted on our acquiescence, our kindness, which they see as weakness, but no one in the wide world has counted on what we have all just seen here. If there are answers, we will find them. I know you saw something on the other side. Please, Occtis, however you can, tell us what you saw. Perhaps the fate of this city, our houses, and this world depends on it."

INTERMISSION

We return to the city of Dol-Makjar to the drawing room of Halandil Fang. Where you (Hal) sit (Liar's Blade at your side), Thimble, Teor, Kattigan, the now itinerant Wicander and Tyranny have all headed off under the stewardship of Azune to the Falcon's Rest (there to pursue Casimir or Teor's brother Cyd).
You bade farewell earlier to Occtis who traveled off with Julian Davinos and Thaisha has just run off after him to make sure he's okay.
Hal, it is currently just you and Murray in your home (Shadia is out with some friends) and you have a letter in your hand that Thimble gave to you, which was supposed to make its way to Murray.
Murray, here in this place, you have no idea what is transpiring across the river. It's a pretty chill night. Things have finally calmed down.
[Hal] The letter that Thimble gave to you (that you now hand to Murray), the envelope just says "Bolaire" on it.
Murray, do you open the envelope?

  • 03:08:50 Shadia returns from juggling practice and shows Hal a list of performances including ...some very old stories that weren't allowed to be told under the dominion of the god of war..."I think Bolan D'Varstrey is great...there's Lugzub Kettlehelm..."
  • 03:14:10 Murray discusses the letter ...either I'm dead or Lachmir has finally called in my tab at the Seven Stars...[Bolaire] should be in that museum, not curating it...
  • 03:18:57 Murray:"Magic is a dirty business."
  • 03:22:44 Murray revealed as a Divination Wizard!
  • 03:26:10 Azune recalls a mental list of names of fallen comrades back at the Falcon's Rest while watching his friends leaving
  • 03:33:17 Murray unloads innuendos at Azune
    Azune:"What have you had to drink?!"
  • 03:33:48 Liam makes an improv "Yes And" joke
  • 03:37:27 Murray:"We're goin' huntin' and it's Bastard Season."
  • 03:42:22 Bolaire brings the group to his secret museum archive to gain their trust
    Taliesin:"You ever seen Young Frankenstein?"
    Liam:"Nice knockers."
  • 03:52:11 Liam gives Taliesin an Insight Check shortly after Bolaire begins to speak. Liam rolls a 1, Tal rolls a 20.
    Bolaire claims to have been blackmailed into service by Thjazi
  • 03:56:00 Bolaire:"I would give her gifts, and in return she would, as a Thimble should, keep me from coming into contact with a prick."
  • 04:01:31 Bolaire:"I am of the Panto. A series of masks created to perform a very, very specific play that was designed to murder a god."
  • 04:09:37 Bolaire:"I have brothers and sisters. There are more masks."
  • 04:16:44 Temoday Wurnst, museum benefactor, introduces Lady Amariya Cormoray (of the famous boxed-wine Cormorays). She reveals the Sundered Houses are interested in the artifacts known as The Pariah Blades. Temoday also notices that there are no lights at the Palazzo Davinos.
  • 04:21:00 New 2024 Spell Hal casts Aid granting temporary health
  • 04:26:38 Powerful necromancy behind the black candle wax
  • 04:31:31 Upon Mending the black candle, Pincushion appears and leads the group into the night of Dol-Makjar, towards the Lloy estate.
  • 04:39:30 Lady Aranessa retells the events surrounding Occtis' murder.
  • 04:41:29 A Detect Magic cast reveals the most potent, divine necromancy radiating in waves from Occtis' chest cavity.
  • 04:42:08 Taliesin forgets he's not in the scene yet. Brennan fixes it. Matt mimes being on edge and pointing his rapier in Bolaire's direction.
  • 04:45:56 Marisha:"Wait."
  • 04:49:14 Marisha mimes Dr Strange indicating "The One Chance"
  • 04:51:14 ...several absolutely thunderous, potent magical mistakes are not only prevented, but in this moment, mended. You've fixed things you weren't even aware had been broken. Bolaire and Murray, as you look at each other, you realize you are very different people, but you've just done one of the most important magical acts that this city has ever seen and this is where they made a sword that killed the gods.

Episode 4: Stone Faced

Evening in Dol-Makjar. A crisp, cool night.
Footsteps approach. A seedy tavern in The Fray (the lowermost neighborhood of the city).
Noise of shattering glass bottles in nearby alleyways. Raucous shouts, fights breaking out, loud music. The braying of a nearby horse as a carriage trundles down the street.
Sputtering torchlight casting shadows long and wide through the city streets.
A humble sign of a tavern. Potter's Field (the symbol of a nameless gravestone on it's side). A few drunken reprobates outside.
Bolaire walks through a neighborhood so far removed from the Arcanade that the odds of being recognized in this place are next to none.
Door swings open. Smugglers, criminals, few people under sputtering candlelight speaking in hushed tones. Bartender looks up to perceive Bolaire, and with that eye contact, nods, communicating that no, he does not perceive you, not tonight, in any case.
At the back of this humble, liquor-drenched hovel is a thick red door. Brass studs throughout it. It's hidden behind a curtain, but it's sturdier than just about anything else in here. Seated behind the curtain is a thin, reedy figure who looks up at your approach.
Bolaire:"No evil."
He pushes his hand into the leather covering the door. Something heavy like stone grates in a hidden hinge. The wall swings open, and for a minute, overpowering the stench of rot and ale on the floor, powerful incense. Something heady, otherworldly, as you step into the shadows.
You enter a hidden place of leisure behind Potter's Field. You look in and see the proprietor, Devlin, look up to you. Rows and rows of bottles and crystal glassware overhead. The fixtures here: brass, velvet; of a higher caliber than that which resides in the exterior. Devlin, a brimmed hat pitched forward to cover the very top of his forehead, looks up at you. His eyes always reflect a few more candles, a few more lanterns, than are ever present in this actual physical space.
He looks up and goes, "Master, pleasure to see you. Can I pour you a drink, or are you only here for a spell?"

Episode 3: The Snipping of Shears

At a broad table, here in the banquet hall of the Villa Aurora (the Halovar estate), Teor, you are seated on a exquisite, velvet-lined and cushioned seat as a small, white velvet sack of coins lands with a thunk in front of you. The woman speaking to you says,
"And, of course, for any accoutrement needed for your service as a guardian errant of the Lord Wicander Halovar. The Mercanaud Couturier will be happy to fit you and your gear to our station. We attempt to make clear that violence is always a regrettable, tragic, and final resort; that the weaponry, armor, and tabardry of our various vassals and men-at-arms bear the symbol of the Candescent Creed, but we would shudder to think of you going out of your own pocket for that."
Teor:"Oh, that is most understood. I think, if I might suggest an alternative, perhaps for an extra level of security, perhaps I could stay as I am, plainclothes, to not draw attention to anything that needs to be done on behalf of the Candescent Creed. A more covert security force."
"A splendid suggestion. It is such an exciting proposition to imagine, that by wearing the symbol of the Candescent Creed, you may attempt to be covert in proudly wearing the symbol of the order."
Close behind you, you hear dogs barking as the door flies open and on these sets of silvery-white chains, this massive knight walks in, heavily-armored, gray-bearded, human knight. He's got gleaming, luminous tattoos all around his neck that curl up around over his eyes. He walks in and goes,
"Ah, you're the former Bannersman, yes?"
Teor:"That would be me, Teor."
"Well, Teor, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Sir Filoneus Halovar. These are my dogs Wrath and Judgement. I can't tell which one is which, but then again when it comes to wrath and judgment, who can?!"
Teor:"Indeed. Both beautiful companions."
You see one dog snarls and it has a dull glow from the back of its throat. You hear a sort of faint humming from its vocal chords, almost like it can't stop whining. This whining is sort of beautiful, ethereal, almost angelic.
Teor:"Such a beautiful noise they make. I have never heard the like."
Fil:"Oh, yes. They can't stop singing, these dogs. The song confuses spellcasters. They're good dogs. Glad to have you aboard! Well you're best on your way to the couturier. We expect you back first thing tomorrow."

I need all of you to roll a d4.

I'm going to need Azune and Kattigan to each give me a Death Saving Throw.

Overhead, arrows fly through the sky. Nearby, Loza Blade, about twelve or thirteen years younger than the last time we saw her, cries out as, thump thump, two arrows go into her shoulder. You see that she takes a small axe off a holster under an arm and hucks it across a battlefield as an archer commander says, "Another vol--" [axe in the head, falls to the ground].
She says, "Get back under the hill!" and shoves a young Tunks, the boarman (who at this point is only about 16) is a kid. As he grunts and snorts back into the waiting darkness.
You see overhead a rippling spiral of green necromantic energy shoot overhead. Far away from you, you see your friend Milo looking up and saying, "Everyone keep moving for-" [skull gone, dead, to the ground].
Kattigan, on the ground, describe your character for us in this moment and describe the injury that is starting to bleed out past the point of repair.
You see overhead the sky darkens as two sorcerors of the Sundered Houses fly under their own power. One of them drops from the sky, looks across the battlefield.
A tiny mote of light, as time almost slows.
Teor: "Down!"
I'm going to need everyone here to roll initiative.

On a battlefield, arrows and spells fly overhead. Thjazi runs. As he does, Thimble, from behind the sorceror, you look and see Thjazi is hit in the side and scatters, his shadows all vanishing as he hits the ground. Looking forward, you see a shape dart from the shadows ahead of him towards his body.
An incoming barrage. Flapping wings (wyverns taking to the sky).
Loza looks up and says, "Fall back, fall back!"
A shape runs towards Thjazi's body, and at the last moment, you see gets two arms underneath it, lifts up his body, throws it on his shoulder and rushes forward as fast as he can, thundering with heavy boots, drops into the trench right in front of you, saving Thjazi from the oncoming barrage of these flying wyverns. As you return from the sorceror (as Loza calls to fall back) the face lifts him up and looks at you.
Casimir smiles, "I got him. Let's fall back."
And we'll find out the fate of our old friend Casimir on this episode of Critical Role.

Episode 1: The Fall of Thjazi Fang

Liam, someone you love very much is about to die. Could you please introduce us to your character?
This moment you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of the city of Dol-Makjar, its grey stone standing proud here at the eastern edge of the land known as Kahad. You stand under the Guardian Wall, heroes of the Shapers' War carved in statue some 80 feet tall, their torsos emerging from masonry, from the rock and stone of the mountainside, lean and hold the mountains of Kavros at bay. These statues, arrayed side by side, orcs and dwarves, elves and humans, halflings, gnomes, beastfolk rendered here as heroes of a revolution now fading from memory. Their looks of determination, heroism, and strength carved forevermore into their faces. What hope they bear in their noble visages. Under their arms stands the base of this massive wall at the eastern edge of the city Dol-Makjar, towering spires that follow the River Vrosh step-by-step down from the mountains. As the city comes to life over your own neighborhood, you see a flight of magpies, black wings, white breasts, take to the sky, flying over the stream as the mist rises on this gray day. The days have been mostly gray recently.
The Guardian Wall (like much of Dol-Makjar) is a place dedicated to heroism, camaraderie, the struggle of the mortal world to make a brighter day. It is here, under the Guardian Wall, that they have strung up the hangman's noose to kill your brother, Thjazi Fang.
Behind the wall, a wagon approaches. Soldiers, their heraldry and tabards alive with the crests of the Sundered Houses (Taconis, Halovar, Royce, Einfasen, Cormoray) march. You would think some beast of legend was left within this wagon, barred with iron as it is, for the amount of soldiers marching this man to the gallows. But it is just one man. The wagon pulls up to a small dais, wooden staircase, and a door leading through the wall out to the awaiting crowd and the hangman's noose. Waiting at the steps, his eyes on the approaching wagon, Luis, is your character.
