Chapter 1: What happens in the depths of the Citadel of the Queen's Conclave?
Welcome to Legends of Avantris. I'm Capriccio DeSesto. You can call me Caprice and you're listening to Beneath Dark Wings. Here's what happened last time.
You are in the depths of the Citadel of the Queen's Conclave, the center of Zentra. And you've noticed that there is far too eerie silence above you as Felix lay about the chamber, covered in bluebird biz, mutated and fiendish. He has joined the flock. What do you do?
You guys notice that it's... The screaming upside up top, it's gone.
That's probably a good sign, yeah?
No, it means either everyone's killed or they've all been transformed or something else horrible has happened. So bad sign then, yeah? I think bad sign.
Okay. Oh, maybe, I mean, maybe they got transformed and like flew away, you know? Is the floor still throbbing? Yeah, it kind of feels like it. When you say transformed, do you mean like Felix? I mean, I think that was sort of their plan, right? I mean, based on what I remember.
Yeah. It feels like we all struggled with the corrupting energy that is radiating through the city right now.
Well, I didn't, actually, so maybe I'm just pure of heart.

Chapter 2: What does the eerie silence signify for the characters?
I was kind of impressed. I mean, you must be pretty charismatic, I guess. Yeah. I think it's a diet rich in wine. It's the body fluid. No, I... I have a headache and I have no idea what you just said. Oh, just, I believe they were charisma saving throws. What's that? Um, it's a type of, I don't know. It's a type of chapstick bread. It's actually an effect. What's a chapstick? I don't know.
The effect, the initial effect is that you age a little bit and that's how you turn into birds. That's what I'm saying. Oh, okay.
Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
Toa, you're 100%? You're back to yourself? What do you mean? I mean, I'm very wounded, but yes, I feel better. No, in your brain, you're no longer evil and trying to kill Luffy and the rest? No, no more feathers, no more demon thoughts.
Did you know that if you were to mix charisma and chapstick, it would be crapstick?
I want to rub some crep stick all over my lips. Coming soon to the Avengers merch store. Crep stick! Smear crep stick all over your mouth. Be like Michael and smear crep stick all over your face. Mmm, cherry flavor. Help me, help me, we gotta do something about Felix. He's not cured. We're gonna tie him up, I'm gonna take his knife, we're gonna shove this filthy rag in his mouth.
Where'd you get that rag? I don't know. It's covered in crap stick.
We have a chat request for a Chuckles advertisement for Karastik. You had your chance, so stay tuned for Adventures in Chill. Just remember to ask that at Adventures in Chill. Chuckles branded makeup. So I'm going to go over and pick up the knife and put it in my pack. You can do it.
And I'm going to tie him very tightly, his hands totally bound behind his back, his feet together, and I'm going to shove a filthy rag into his mouth. I'm going to come up and watch him. Toa, you totally missed the backbind there. And then I'm going to just rework it and kind of like a bondage up. See how much better that is? He can't move. I swear. I mean, it's a little suggestive.

Chapter 3: How do the characters react to Felix's transformation?
That's gross. Frost is in here. You're tied up now. You've got him? He's tied up, and then he's gagged with a rope keeping the cloth in his mouth.
All right. I think that means that he can't do verbal. He can't do his hand gestures, and he can't access his arcane focus, so I think we're all right. All right.
Is there anything we're forgetting? I don't do the magics. I don't think so.
Well, if he wakes up and continues to transform, he might be able to break free.
We need to be near him at all times. If we're going to move anywhere, we can't leave him here. We've got to take him with us. Oh. Yes. I can't remember what my health was, because you didn't end up healing us. No, I didn't. Is there a way out of here? I want to look around and see if there's any exits to this room.
You look, and you see that into the wall are sconces that form a ladder, and there are heavy iron doors higher up. I'll grab Felix, and I'll pick him up, and I'll throw him over my shoulder. I mean, do we think we should at least rest for maybe like an hour before we continue? Yeah, I think we're going to have to. Just in case there are more, you know, demons or birds or...
So I'll put it back down then. And it's probably been a while as we've been discussing, but I think we'll just wait the rest of the hour. I would say it's probably been an hour. You can enjoy a short rest. So... Only 83 more minutes. Hold on. So once we're done with our short rest, we can roll as we roleplay, but... We don't have to RP this. Alright, so... I've got many. I have all of them.
All right, well, are we good to maybe just take him with us and we'll just... Take him with us where? I mean, you know, I don't think we should just sit here for eight hours. Do you? Where else are we going to go?
there are ladders up you know and there are doors you know just how high up do you think it is uh probably like 20 feet like 20 feet up that way we could continue to you know explore see what's down here if the entire leader of this entire nation is now dead and exploded like you know maybe there's no more threat and we can learn more about what you know p man's plans are

Chapter 4: What discoveries are made in the alchemical lab?
Exactly right. We'll ride a horrible, deaf, demon, abyss wave. Like filling a balloon with too much air. Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a physicist! Um... So... I mean, do we know how we disrupt it?
Do we just take the gems away? Do we... I mean, if it's anything like any of the transmutation magic that I've learned, the patterns, the writings, the chalk marks, it all matters. You erase those things, you destroy them, the spell won't work.
So can we take the maps and make sure we have them? Absolutely. You keep the gem on you so that, you know, you can keep it safe. Um... Is there anything more we need to learn in this room, or maybe should we just follow that creepy, glowing red hallway?
I kind of think we need to go down the red hallway. But I do agree that all we have to do is disrupt the resonance of this expanding circle of magic. If it's anything like music, one sour note ruins the whole piece. Well said.
All right, let's go. Let's go quietly.
Okay.
All right, Loofty? Loofty, quietly. All right. Let's go. Oh yeah, you do a stealth roll too.
We already did stealth rolls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 15. You guys all got really good at this, right? 15? Yeah, yeah, you guys got crushed. I did okay. 15?
Toad did terribly. Yeah. So you make your way through, and you make your way through the hallways, and Felix, you know these hallways. You had spent, I think, two, three weeks? It was a long time. in Corvacchia with your runes in this very citadel. And Felix was spending almost nightly walking these hallways. And the glow gets brighter and brighter.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the characters' personal choices?
I was just... It was an expression of...
Is anyone else here still a virgin? Raise your hand.
I really don't feel like offering up that information.
So you are. I'm the daughter of a pharaoh, you think? No, of course not. I didn't know that.
Yes. Why do you think I get so uncomfortable when Toa takes his shirt off? Which is all the time, he's never wearing a shirt.
And when the guy opened that jar of pickles that you summoned, and he was all oily.
Summon a jar of pickles.
No, you summoned a man who opened a jar of pickles.
I summoned a man that opened a jar of pickles. Oh! Oh, you're talking... Oh, yes. No, not dog. He was a jackal. That explains a lot about the form that he took.

Chapter 6: How do the characters react to the impending doom?
Yes, no, I completely forgot about that. He wasn't a man, he was a celestial guardian. Yeah, but he's all greased up. That was the thing technically like yesterday. I know. We've all been hit very hard, you know, over and over.
Look, I don't think any of this conversation is going to help us save the world right now.
Well, no, but if the world is going to end, we want to make sure we don't have any regrets. Yes, that's true. I'm personally fine with dying a virgin. Caprice, however, does not seem to be, so... I think one of you should help him. Now, I know the two of you are a couple, so it might be awkward.
What do you mean by a couple? They keep saying that. I mean, I keep telling them, yeah, we're a couple of guys. We're friends. A couple of fellas. We're best friends. Yeah, we're a couple of best friends.
Chapter 7: What strategies do the characters consider for their next move?
Yes, we know.
And so because of that, I don't want to cause any jealousy issues or anything of the sort. So Luffy is a harlot. I think that she's got the most experience and she has no standards, really. So I was thinking... I have standards.
Well, they have to be alive, of course, and deprave this. And pose some sort of benefit to me socially. Asher says, I'm not alive. LAUGHTER Get him!
So I was thinking, you could just go behind one of the carts or something.
It'd be quick. He's never done it before. He's got, like, what? Five seconds in him?
Luffy, you scared the shit out of me. We're not gonna do this.
No. I wasn't offering. We're not gonna die.

Chapter 8: What is revealed about Pazuzu's true intentions?
We're not gonna die. We're gonna fix this. Are we still in the prime material plane? I think so. Did literally everyone in this fucking city turn into a demon? I just want to say this.
If we do die, I am putting on your epitaph, was a virgin.
Fine. I don't want to die. Look at what's happening around us. No one else is freaking out.
Well, no, I'm fine dying a virgin and they're sleeping together.
We don't need to talk about dying. We're not going to die. We're not going to die. We need to stop this. I think it's very likely we're going to die. Can we fly like really fast? Is there a way that we can fly? We can fly regular speed. It's not very fast. I've still got to teleport. You need to go up there. No, not up there. I mean, like, out into Korovaki and try to stop, you know. Oh, hold on.
I still have a teleport up my sleeve. Take out the maps that we found. Are there any points of this circle that you're familiar with that you could give us to?
Yeah, I mean, I know it's the entire city of Corvacchia, right? The maps that we have.
The nation of Corvacchia, yeah. And so you get the sense that the north-south... There would be places that I wouldn't have been before. Yeah, yeah, but there would be plenty of places. You traveled all over the country to... Yeah, I point to several places.
That I'd be like, you know, I've been here before. I remember what this place looks like, or at least what it used to look like. You know, we might be able to get here. There might be a permanent teleportation somewhere here that I remember.
