Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

1.988 - 33.569 Robbie Daymond

Hello again, it's Brennan Lee Mulligan, and you're listening to part two of this episode of Critical Role. If you haven't checked out part one yet, pause this now and head over there first. What are you doing? Otherwise, let's jump right back into this adventure and the world of Ahriman. The amount of dirty words. We return to the Arcanod here in Dormachiar. Museum of the Revolution. Tysha.

34.59 - 44.402 Robbie Daymond

Yep, get it out quick. You saw it coming. As you cast your lollipop aside, I require you to pick up 2d8 and roll hit points.

0

47.606 - 50.55 Laura Bailey

Yay! I did roll hit points when we did our level four level up.

Chapter 2: What are the plans for the upcoming play and rescue mission?

50.57 - 52.652 Laura Bailey

Okay, yes, you did. So this is just a new one for five.

0

52.692 - 62.087 Robbie Daymond

Yes, thank you. For people watching at home, Aabria was sitting on her Seeker's Arc level up since the Seeker's Arc.

0

62.108 - 63.169 Laura Bailey

That's another five.

0

63.31 - 63.61 Robbie Daymond

Hell yeah.

64.111 - 69.019 Laura Bailey

And I know I said before I was going to take Durable as a feat. I'm taking Maidslayer because I'm fucking done with the Sundial.

71.497 - 106.28 Robbie Daymond

Yes! Fuck yes, incredible. Tysha, as the energy of opposing the strange magics you see working against the fabric of reality, Natural order. That phrase sometimes carries too much coldness and sterility. You're not here to preserve order, you're here to preserve life itself. And these fools know not what they meddle with, but they will ask everyone else to pay for it before them.

106.3 - 145.176 Robbie Daymond

And you feel that power of that mage slayer energy and all of these new hit points as you walk, where else? But the Loywing of the Arcanod. Tysha, you, Fimbul, Vaelis, Oktis all arrive at the museum at the same time that Hal and Cadogan arrive. You see the beautiful museums and you see the gorgeous pariah blade. You guys see the central marble hall and the pariah blade stationed there in this

145.156 - 174.556 Robbie Daymond

beam of light, a humble blade of iron. No frivolous adornment, no gem-studded noble haughtiness. A blade perfectly balanced, perfectly smithed and forged to save a people and a world. Below, those of you who have been speaking with Sid, You can see that our hero goes, Oh, I think I hear him upstairs.

175.078 - 181.872 Robbie Daymond

Hero is going to run and collect and bring all of you guys together into a chamber where there is food. You see Hero goes, Hi, Tysha.

Chapter 3: How do the characters strategize for the upcoming confrontation?

186.582 - 212.22 Robbie Daymond

Yeah. Yeah. Are you a wizard now? I'm studying at the Penteveral. Oh my god, congratulations! Thank you, I'm really excited about it. And I just did this whole thing, and I made a potion, and it took a guy who... Some of the things he said are important enough that I shouldn't be the one to tell them to you, but it's really good to see you. And also, I've done something that Shadia hasn't.

0

214.58 - 215.462 Robbie Daymond

So now I have that.

0

216.744 - 218.648

I like this energy.

0

218.668 - 235.018 Robbie Daymond

I like that a lot. And you see, she goes, Dad, hey! Hey, Sweet Pea. Hey, everybody. We're meeting downstairs in an area that is slightly more secret, but to my understanding, not the most secret. Great. Thank you for all of the information.

0

236.078 - 254.493 Robbie Daymond

And she brings you guys, you assemble downstairs with food, and as you do, black fur, black mane, amber eyes just house, he's opened like a roast beef sandwich, thrown the bread away and just the rare roast beef. Oh!

255.774 - 257.737 Isa Whitney

I'm so glad you're not Rock!

257.797 - 261.803 Robbie Daymond

You see that he goes, I understand I have you to thank for saving my ass.

261.823 - 262.504 Isa Whitney

Only me.

262.905 - 263.786 Robbie Daymond

Only you.

Chapter 4: What are the key locations and teams involved in the mission?

294.692 - 327.655 Robbie Daymond

He's seen you much more recently than Cat or Teor, but you see, he goes and gives you a big hug as well and says, good to see you. All right. For everyone else, Aloha. Just hug me. He says, I am. He's just with all his falconers buddies. Yeah. You see he looks out and goes, I am Tal Sidimir Bridesire. I, oh god, how long was I stoned for? 20 years. What the fuck? How do you look normal?

0

328.436 - 330.379 Laura Bailey

That don't crack.

0

331.625 - 346.337 Robbie Daymond

You see? He looks out and says, Well, I probably don't have my job anymore, but I used to drive carriage for Revolutionary Council.

0

347.319 - 349.363 Sam Riegel

You've only gone a few days.

0

349.816 - 379.66 Robbie Daymond

I'm probably fired. I don't show up for work for a while. Also, maybe they find out I'm using the job to do big crimes. So probably that's all she wrote. I mean, from our perspective, you didn't do a crime because you never showed up. I want you to be my lawyer. Who are you? Octis. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

379.821 - 384.552 Laura Bailey

We were going to get to your cart if we got the Oscar.

384.572 - 386.918 Robbie Daymond

This is right. You see, he looks at you and goes, Tysha.

387.439 - 387.559 Laura Bailey

Hi.

387.679 - 419.144 Robbie Daymond

Big hug. He says, this is the wizard who you traveled to Venatis with? 100%. You see that Hiro gets all of you guys seated, and you all look at each other after a long day of your last day before the play, before Primus Taconis is rumored to be back in town. Share information.

Chapter 5: What plans are formed for the night before the big event?

4524.067 - 4534.102 Robbie Daymond

Oh, no, no, no. Let's go ahead and unless someone is, I think only Tysha's staying up that night. You know what? I'm going to do it. Okay.

0

4534.943 - 4542.034 Aabria Iyengar

Let's go, Seekers. I also might try and help Oktis, but okay, can you give us a what?

0

4542.054 - 4544.798 Laura Bailey

I do not want to be exhausted.

0

4544.958 - 4552.369 Robbie Daymond

I'm going to be mean as hell. If you guys stay up at night and don't use your day tomorrow to do the last minute things you have to do, I'm going to punish you severely.

0

4552.349 - 4556.014 Travis Willingham

Just do it tomorrow. But I mean, what's the DC we're looking for for this con save?

4556.034 - 4557.276 Robbie Daymond

18. Don't let him scare you.

4558.698 - 4559.519 Travis Willingham

I've got luck points.

Chapter 6: How do the characters prepare for the challenges ahead?

4561.522 - 4577.022 Robbie Daymond

Can you say what you just said one more time? I will punish anyone who stays up severely rather than using the full day you have tomorrow. Can you say that again, but can you whisper this time? Got it. Maybe I can do those clips.

0

4577.083 - 4583.711 Aabria Iyengar

It's not even until sunset. For sure. That's fair, maybe. Why don't you get ahead? Have I done what I set out to do? I'll look into it.

0

4583.791 - 4585.212 Robbie Daymond

I'll think about it while you're sleeping.

0

4585.313 - 4585.753 Aabria Iyengar

Okay.

0

4586.294 - 4593.563 Robbie Daymond

To do research? Yeah. Or did I? I didn't, I came back. So I don't know if I have the glyph yet. Do I? Have I? No, you haven't done it yet.

4596.346 - 4596.947

We got tomorrow.

4597.127 - 4601.352 Robbie Daymond

We have tomorrow. It's all day. We're going to break here, and we're going to go down to eight chairs.

Chapter 7: What revelations occur during the discussion of family and loyalty?

4601.632 - 4601.853 Robbie Daymond

Cool?

0

4604.307 - 4629.57 Robbie Daymond

Following your extremely clandestine conspiratorial meeting, Hera Devayan, the daughter of Hallandeel Fang, destroys the chalkboard with a firebolt cantrip. Erase it. Some uses of a mending cantrip can restore chalk drawings. It's good to be sure. Good to be sure. Cool kid. Very smart. Couldn't he just repair the board?

0

4630.111 - 4631.757

Yeah. Don't, let her have it.

0

4631.777 - 4651.501 Robbie Daymond

She sweeps up the ash and goes, I'm going to find a monster to feed this to. For the rest of you here, is anyone attempting to do anything that night? Is there something that is so dear for your being pressed of time that you would risk exhaustion on the day of all days?

4651.721 - 4670.13 Aabria Iyengar

The only thing I want to do is just, as I'm lulling myself to sleep, I want to thumb through some books, maybe brush up on some old spells that I hadn't used, hadn't had any need for, and then I'm going to just read until I... It whisks me away to a sweet slumber.

4670.151 - 4697.676 Robbie Daymond

You go over, with your new understanding of the gems of fate, of destiny, you reach out and a lot of things click into place. After all, you're not just a bursar. Magic is yours to command. Anything else that occurs that night, I gotta try to keep this snake up to provide a little bit of backup at the Via Aurora, so. So we're gonna make a con save.

4697.696 - 4698.477 Laura Bailey

We're gonna make a con save.

4698.498 - 4699.74 Robbie Daymond

So that you don't take a long rest.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the upcoming performance in the theater?

4720.468 - 4747.262 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Oktas follows. Before Hal takes off, Cadogan has been dozing in an armchair for a while. With boredom? Cadogan. That's worse, somehow. He's going to walk along with you guys and try to catch Hal's ear. That theater experience was pretty magical.

0

4747.302 - 4750.907 Robbie Daymond

That's some cool stuff you're doing there. I've thrown my life away in it.

0

4751.148 - 4753.451 Laura Bailey

You've thrown your wife away?

0

4753.471 - 4755.274 Robbie Daymond

Technically, yes. Oh, it's not.

0

4755.254 - 4766.39 Brennan Lee Mulligan

It's nice to see you do that with your kids. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. In addition to staging the plays, from what I understand, you built the place, right? You had it commissioned?

4766.45 - 4778.106 Robbie Daymond

Well, the site existed. We really augmented it. There's a stone structure that has stood there for centuries. We built some buildings alongside it. Yeah, but you built it, right? Yeah.

4778.592 - 4783.077 Brennan Lee Mulligan

You have the plans for that theater somewhere. I do. Mind if I take a look before I nod off?

4783.677 - 4785.179 Robbie Daymond

Absolutely. Got that in my study.

4785.94 - 4803.418 Brennan Lee Mulligan

So if we make it back with them, I'd like to take a minute and look at what they've cooked in as far as any sort of structure. I'm looking for structural weaknesses and points of entry, anything that would expose them to danger from any kind of military force or anything like that.
