1.988 - 28.215 Brennan Lee Mulligan

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. When there's enough of them, I can't hear what they're saying. We return.

to the home of Howland Hill Fang here in the rookery as a group of magically significant... heroically-minded folk prepare to part ways.

0

41.158 - 61.662 Brennan Lee Mulligan

One such group, Halandilfang, Tysha Loy, and an old companion of Thiazi's, who I don't think is too particularly close to either Tysha or Hal, prepares to head out with them to the Via Aurora, partially because you're one of the only people in this group who's got a clean name and a face that no one's gonna pin on anything.

61.861 - 66.932 Murray

Yeah, I just directly needed space away from Mackenna. Hey, LaVon.

Before you go! Hi. Oh, hi, you're still here.

71.862 - 79.498 Murray

Yes, hi. How are you? I wanted to catch you all before you left. Hal, you're going to take these folks to see my grandmother, yes?

79.478 - 81.321 Brennan Lee Mulligan

She requested a one-on-one.

81.341 - 102.761 Murray

She's been hounding me for days since you left. I just wanted to prepare you all. I don't know if you had heard that she had faked her death or something and been fake-resurrected. It's something that you might have heard, so you may mention it upon meeting her. It's obviously not true. but just so you know. Just be wary.

103.222 - 130.765 Murray

These tattoos that I have, this is filament, and if you see this or anything like it glowing, that means that magic is being cast on you in the room, so just be mindful of that. And I just want to say a quick prayer for you, and may the light protect you and surround you, and I will cast Aid on all three of you, and I'll give you an extra five hit points, just in case anything happens.

Chapter 2: What preparations are made before meeting the grandmother?

263.354 - 264.938 Azune Nayar

Oh, lovely.

As you depart too, similarly outside, Teor getting ready to head out with Wick, Tyranny, Bolaire, and Julian headed to Knife and Pallet. I think as you're out by the wagon, getting ready to head out, an apparition appears, Alex.

You feel a weight on one of your shoulders. A small, and you

297.267 - 309.821 Murray

Yes.

312.664 - 342.779 Azune Nayar

Before you go, I just wanted to... I'm very sorry about your brother, and I know that it is my family that did that to them. So I want you to have this and in Pin's mouth is a vial of liquid. That is a, if you drink it, if you encounter the basilisks again and you drink that, if you are hit with the petrification, that will stop it in its early stages.

343.98 - 371.036 Unknown

That is incredibly generous. I think that will come in handy. By the way, this family of yours. I believe, and I'll reach under my cloak behind my back and pull out the blade of Saramai. Saramai blade. I believe this belongs to your house. I don't know if you are handy with the blade, but.

371.617 - 383.974 Murray

Not specifically, but thank you. It's a blade of my vassal house. I assume you had trouble with the water you were on your journey.

384.376 - 386.659 Unknown

Yes, that blade is a bitch.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the tattoos mentioned?

395.069 - 403.92 Murray

But I am sorry again, and I want you to have that in case they come looking for another lion.

0

406.323 - 412.51 Unknown

Thank you. It is an interesting meeting, someone like you.

0

414.312 - 452.765 Brennan Lee Mulligan

I can agree with you, and I don't know how to meet myself at this point. But be safe, and thank you for everything you're doing. You exchange these items. You, Teyor, are getting two basilisk antivenom, and you taking this Ancestral Blade of House Ceremai. I'm going to say that our Fothark crew departs, along with Teyor, as Octus heads back inside.

0

452.785 - 469.983 Brennan Lee Mulligan

So we'll swap out the five of you, Octus remains, and let's get Azune, Thimble, Murray back at the table. table. Here we go, we're rerolling ones, but we're rolling new hit points for level five. Two!

471.865 - 472.185 Wakandan Halevar

Two!

472.205 - 472.626 Brennan Lee Mulligan

That's okay.

474.447 - 484.036 Wakandan Halevar

What is your new hit point total? That's going to be, let me see, so that's plus my constitution, so that's going to be a lot.

484.297 - 485.658 Unknown

You have a high con?

485.938 - 504.62 Wakandan Halevar

I do have a high con. Dwarf. Dwarf, baby! So that is going to be Unless I am missing something. I was at 29, plus two, or sorry, 39, 40, 41, plus three, so I should be at 44?

Chapter 4: How does the group strategize for the upcoming challenges?

1026.333 - 1045.1 Wakandan Halevar

I will not die of old age. I will continue living. And I will not forget the good person that you are, as you currently are. And I will always remember you. Azune.

0

1045.18 - 1046.402 Murray

Why does that hurt?

0

1048.559 - 1082.026 Wakandan Halevar

You've always been a Boy Scout. That's why you're so good at what you do here. You have a trustworthy face. You do still have that innocence. You have the literal sunset in your eyes. That light isn't fading. It's just right on the horizon. And it hovers there. All right.

0

1082.046 - 1114.59 Brennan Lee Mulligan

All right. As Marie mentions your sunset eyes, you think about the fact that a mere 12 hours ago, you saw those eyes looking up at you from the ground as your sister bled onto the floor. You saw how withered she looked. What has she led a life doing? What have you led a life doing? She looked consumed, like a bag of components used up for the casting of great spells.

0

1119.626 - 1127.827 Unknown

Not helping. Once again, we are recording this, so I do.

1127.867 - 1156.19 Wakandan Halevar

Look, we're going to get through this. You have an incredible support structure around you. We are all implicated in this scheme together. You do not have to shoulder any of this alone. And I promise you, I promise you, if we get through this, I will take you out for pizza and an ice cream party, just like the Boy Scout that you are, you understand? Uh-huh. I promise. What kind of ice cream?

1156.21 - 1170.332 Wakandan Halevar

What kind do you like? What's your favorite? All of them. I will buy you. An ice cream cone? Stacked up. I will buy you every carton of ice cream that is in this godforsaken city right now, you understand?

1171.257 - 1185.357 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Establishing so many things. Thimble. I actually want everyone other than Azune and Murray to give me an insight check. Vaelis as well, who I assume is hearing this conversation distantly. Yeah.

1186.739 - 1186.979 Thimble

Wow!

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the aspirant's identity in the conversation?

5188.612 - 5213.122 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Am I to understand that I speak with the aspirant in this moment? One of how many? Three. Three? Oh, I think it's four, actually. There's four. I don't understand. You see, she goes, . You see, she looks out and says, and you refer to me as a fiend. You'll have to forgive our compatriots. No, no, no, no, no. You misunderstand.

5213.984 - 5224.333 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Oh, you're the one that Hollis has dealt with down at Potter's Field, yes? Yes, of course. Welcome. I've been wondering if I could ever expect you in my humble hall.

0

5224.513 - 5226.755 Unknown

Who? I'm so sorry. It's so rude.

0

5227.636 - 5231.98 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Who are we? Are we so delighted to meet? Oh.

5232.981 - 5243.991 Thimble

You see, she goes, well, given that the jig is up, I find these disguises rather tedious. Oh, jeez!

5243.971 - 5284.601 Brennan Lee Mulligan

A 12-foot tall figure appears before you. She is still hunched, spines coming from the middle of her back along her vertebrae. Her enormous head is a tiger's jaw and snout with a wasp's compound eyes and antenna. with ram's horns curling off the side. You see upper body, these huge blood-soaked tiger's claws that go down. You see enormous cloven hooves that are hoofed in iron.

5286.584 - 5299.982 Brennan Lee Mulligan

You see that coming off, she has an enormous prehensile tail that has that tiger striping to it, and then a pair of bat wings extends off her back. She is a fucking mess.

5299.962 - 5303.429 Unknown

I want that tattooed on my body. Yes.

Chapter 6: What does the character Sulrexi reveal about themselves?

5343.007 - 5350.455 Unknown

I'm so glad that my name can be whispered in these delightful halls. You are responsible for so much beauty in the world.

0

5353.085 - 5374.317 Thimble

Thank you enough for the compliment, my good friend. Your reputation is as prodigious as it is mysterious. Time after time, I've asked Hollis to track you down and find out who you're getting your spells from, and I keep drawing.

0

5376.71 - 5377.271 Murray

Thank you.

0

5377.491 - 5384.701 Unknown

I try very hard to maintain a bit of mystery, and again, having a lock on something in this town is difficult to have, and I have needs.

0

5385.081 - 5393.293 Brennan Lee Mulligan

I would have approached you, but my understanding is the museum you work in is all about our storied past, and you're not looking for new works.

5393.313 - 5407.651 Unknown

Well, times being what they are, things have been shifting in the city, as I'm well aware that you know, and my museum seems to be undergoing a few changes, so that may be... Yeah, I'm thinking about diversifying into more modern theater.

5409.92 - 5432.004 Brennan Lee Mulligan

What kind of theater are you? That is my true love. Well? She produces an enormous coin, a coin that is about the size of a hubcap, and goes and spits a rainbow phantasmagoria of phlegm and blood on it, and hands it to you.

5432.264 - 5433.946 Unknown

Cool.

5433.966 - 5455.246 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Oh, jeez. A token of my favor for the promptness and kindness that you have shown to me by bringing young Wakanda here. Anything I should know about it? It represents a debt owed. A debt? I'm in your favor, Master Lethalia.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion about the paint relate to the river Gavzidra?

5543.055 - 5544.057 Thimble

Yeah, I know Shar-Avi.

0

5544.177 - 5544.798 Unknown

Yeah, that's my dad.

0

5547.663 - 5548.685 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Do you get to know him well?

0

5551.349 - 5557.079 Unknown

You know, I'm waiting for my time. I'm waiting to really spend some quality time at some point.

0

5557.319 - 5558.421 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Give me an insight check.

5558.441 - 5567.902 Unknown

Okay. Insight? 17. Insight is minus one, though, I think. That's plus one. Oh. Oh.

5567.922 - 5568.743 Thimble

No, minus one.

5568.903 - 5569.183 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Poo.

5569.363 - 5569.684 Thimble

16. 16.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the upcoming conflict in the city?

5577.651 - 5582.976 Brennan Lee Mulligan

You just look at this. It's hard. This big wasp compound eyes and this slavering tiger's jaw.

0

5583.396 - 5595.227 Thimble

She just looks at it and goes, Shara V. He... Shara V. crafted you. Mm-hmm. And he did a great job. Did he do it with help?

0

5595.865 - 5596.526 Unknown

What do you mean?

0

5597.166 - 5598.708 Thimble

I'm asking if he did it with help.

0

5600.189 - 5617.084 Unknown

I don't know. How old are you? How old am I? Yeah. Here on the plains, I am like six months old, but I'm also like 400 years old, depending on who you ask. I've been around.

5619.106 - 5624.691 Thimble

Prior to your journey here into Ahriman,

5626.713 - 5631.921 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Were you conscious in the pit, or were you in substantial waiting to be formed?

5634.364 - 5648.966 Unknown

That's a really personal question, but because I feel like we are having a moment, I would say that I was in an observant stasis. I didn't have a body. I didn't have this rockin' bod that you see before you.

5648.986 - 5655.015 Thimble

Oh. Yes. We all have bods that rock differently. So true. So true, queen.
