In our last episode, Day, Ichabod and Weyland explored the second floor of the abandoned castle, trying to get into the main tower. Inside, they found their first substantial loot, including a rogue of useful items. In one of the rooms, they also found and dispatched another pair of those strange doggars. Our adventurers today are David, who plays Ichabod and the wizard.
I've got suspicions, so I'll open it with what I close. Kieran, who plays Weyland and the barbarian. I'm looking sort of out our homes and our families, the gods. Kieran, who plays David Druid.
It's clickbait and our B.M. Hazel. You've put a good gash in it, suit. It's both eyes, comma five.
You can be welcomed fellow truckers to Legends of Jump. So now that you've finished this fight and have some time to look around at what the room actually looks like, you see there's another one of those pull ropes hanging from the ceiling, and most of the furniture in this room is jammed up against these two doors, blocking them. At the end of the room, over here, where the jugglers work? Yeah, at the far end of the room.
There are a couple of iron braziers surrounding a table and chair, and the table is covered in papers. There's also a bit of alchemical equipment, south to the side, and there are also some barrels over there. I want to sniff around the alchemical equipment and see if there's anything that might be useful to me as an herbalist. Okay, some well-preserved.
19? Yeah, you go over there and you sniff around. There's a file over there filled with a bright green liquid. Okay.
And that smells like it's going on for most of the other stuff as. And do you think that could be useful to you? Okay, I like paw at it and sniff and I try to convince the guys to pick it up for me so they don't have to waste this transformation. Okay, um, where you want a girl?
Want to go walk? I'll pick it up. One vial is green, mysterious green liquid. I'll take a look at the barrels.
Can I open them? Yeah, they open up pretty easily. They have like rope handles on the covers and you take them off. And they smell pretty bad.
They look like they were filled with various grains, but it's been a long time. Most of those have de-concoast quite a bit. I mean, so kind of tell what they were. Great.
And just to confirm, those doors to the left and right were the ones with furniture and stuff. Yeah, they lock the furniture and stuff. That's all on this side of the room. So if you wanted to spend time unblocking them, you could.
There's a desk and there are various papers on that. I'll take a look at the desk and the papers. They seem to be a lot of notes about chickens and grain and egg yields and things. You're looking through there and you do find one that seems to be fairly interesting because it does mention hags.
So you find this. Like are they trying to make the chicken and leaves a golden egg? Like that's the only reason that Wizard would be so interested in chickens. I think that what's his face, the bone, old Mr.
Bones, or whatever, it was said that it was the hags that brought the jams. Right. So we've got some notes on chicken experiments. I was certain that the yanchi giant would be the prime specimen.
It is far larger than the other birds. And though I have seen some growth, it has been a very small amount. I've seen better growth from most of the other chickens. I think I may have to start focusing on another breed.
I need a gift suitable to the hags. I need to make them what? Desire it. I have to play them at their own game.
So they will give me what I want without consequence. Maybe I will start experimenting on the smaller birds. It does not seem like their potential for growth will be late. But until I decipher what is hindering me, it is my only option.
That's not what I expected. Okay. So the hags didn't range yet. Or he was trying to make great spend.
Whoever this was. Let me go back to my notes to make sure I'm not making a... Yeah. Old man Bones definitely said that the hag was responsible for the chickens.
At least not. It's a good pussy. So looking around the rest of these notes, you discover a little bit more. You learn that the person doing these experiments, her name was Maeve.
You have that name. Oh, yeah. Hag in castle names Maeve. Okay.
They were calling some chick a hag. The skeletons, I think. Or based on these notes that I guess. Seems reasonable, guys.
Yeah. It looks like she was not a hag, but she was interested in the hags. Can I assume, based on what I see here, maybe some of the other notes, hags are bad for chicken? She was performing experiments on the chickens.
And she was especially interested in... Size. Size. But she tried to make a dinosaur?
Well, she's not actually giant if you remember it is... Even size-packed, like... His big, little half-ling size, basically. It's a very large chicken.
And she was trying to make it bigger than that. For some purpose. So, basically trying to make a monster chicken for the hags, because she thought they would enjoy that. It seems like...
I mean, it could be as simple as they're deep into KFC, or it's a proof of concept situation in that the chickens are guinea pigs. Yes, we can... I can make... That's a chicken.
I can make X large, and here's my proof. So, actually, this might be our way into the hags. That's chicken? Carry on the work to try to grow something extra big.
Okay. We do have some recipes, and we see that that's what they're after, but that's certainly an opening that we can use. We'll carry on to make this work. Do you have enough time to raise generations of chicken?
Is there a question? Is there a question? Any other question to you guys? I think it's more a case of just getting a chicken, applying whatever the...
The feed? Yeah, the stuff is, and then they can... And it sounds like all of the failed experiments, because we're going for big here. All of the failed experiments were just dumped out into the village, and adopted by the skeleton people.
But clearly, the yanchi giant isn't quite there. Right. We're a giant chicken. Can you bring the arrow back?
Here, here, girl. These are the positive things. They're positive. Yeah.
Start getting spider's drool. Day. Come on. They have to play them in their own game.
Just so you can have something that they want. I need to make them... They wanted them to want chickens. They didn't necessarily want this in size spell, if you think it is.
I was the keeper of the chicken. That would be my arch wizard name. The keeper of the chicken. You want chicken?
No, it's not your chicken notes. In 60 years, he's taken over for explainings. He's just for Pfizer chicken. I should be so lucky.
I'm telling you about these chickens I saw. There may be more information to find, but if we don't uncover anything else, we at least have an opening salvo when we can find the hacks. We'll carry on names work. What does that work exactly?
Okay. Why are the doors to the room locked, though? Because after I remembered that seeing the notes I thought maybe something attacked her, but she didn't die in this room. So, Jacob, can you give me...
It's just a strange intelligence check. Six. Okay. That should be good enough.
No. Can I? No. Anybody must have...
Nine. Well, it's better than mine. Yeah. Three.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. We had those masses. You could ask them. That's really important.
Okay. Do we want to check out this door that looks like a small room or do we want to move furniture? Um. Let's go check out the door.
Okay. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to go to the library. A very symmetrical.
It's a little bit. So you can show that small room. It is that size. It is that wall.
Okay. And it appears to be a study. Ooh. There are a few bookshelves in there.
There's a desk. Are there more notes about chickens or hags? Let's find out. I guess I turned back to a person.
All right. That's what you want to do. Not really, but I do. 19 investigation.
You're looking around this room and most of this stuff seems to be humor stuff. It doesn't seem to have been touched by Maeve or the wizard or anything. The only notable thing that you find is you find a silver letter opener. You find humor, steel.
You're interested in either of those items. Historical, so much transfer. Well, a less good party would probably try and use that for less good things. But yeah.
You can seal it along good. But it's still an official thing. Yeah, it's very official. Yeah.
You can make your own big official looking thing. We can make our whole alias. If we were less good. Right.
Exactly. Okay. I was hoping that it would open on the other side of that door like the library with less into that hallway. But I guess not.
I guess that's what we're going to go and seal that door. Missed it. The door that's covered in furniture. Well, they both are.
But we can be no one here. Kind of over here. So you unsealed that door. It takes you.
Give me a strength check. Let's see how long it takes. For seconds. 18.
How about it? 20. As day in Ichabod or as day in the hallway, you just kind of take it and just. And that door is now accessible to you.
You don't want to take a bus? I did not draw a door by there. Let's just draw a doorway right now. There we go.
Oops. Can't get into that room. Okay. As you exit the hallway, there's a door at the very end.
There is an entryway into the stairwell near that door. And two doors on your right and one door on your left. Left. All right.
You open up the door to this room. The room is 25 feet by 20 feet. And the first thing that you really notice is that there is what looks like a giant. A giant nest in the situation.
Oh shit. Ooh. There. Dark ends, dried blood has cooled across the floor.
Oh god. There are two unhashed eggs in the nest. And one has a shell that has been cracked open. There is a baby's crib shut to the side of the room.
All right. Oh, a crib baby. And there is a small humanoids skeleton. It's not together.
You see bones here and there and you see a skull. The flooring here is once carpet. But it's been matted together with blood and there are like big chunks of it that have been torn out by claws or blades. It's been torn apart, basically.
Now you said nest in eggs. And I actually went somewhere else but I'm starting to think we're talking about bird. And possibly chicken. Could be.
Can I do in nature to see if I can figure out something with this bird or possibly chicken? How large are the eggs? Are they? 17.
This creature is large size if I am right. So the eggs would be a lot larger than chicken eggs. But not like as big as a person or anything. So like a little bigger than an ostrich egg?
I think soccer ball is pretty good. See you? They look like chicken eggs. Huge chicken eggs.
Did we see any chicken eggs in skeleton to compare to these? Are these considerably larger if we had seen any? Were these be considerably larger than the ones we've seen? I want to say you probably saw and didn't really take too much note of, I don't know, maybe they did this pretty hundred.
For some real few. You saw 16 eggs and those were all pretty normal size. You haven't seen the yanchi giant chicken egg but this egg is way too big for a yanchi giant deadly. Okay.
Can I examine the tracks on the ground to see where the one that hatched went? You can do that. You want to make this survival? 14.
This floor is a torn up mess. But if you step out of the room a bit and look closely at the ground we didn't notice before. You can see that there are some stains in the hallway better in the shape of these big giant chicken feet for a little while. There's actually a few of a humanoid person next to them.
Those don't continue very long. The blood brought up pretty quickly and it was a long time ago so you can't really track it very far. But it seems like this giant chicken and this woman left the room together or this humanoid, the smaller she would probably have been. Left this room together.
Come on. Does this seem a few hundred years old? All this stuff? Or does it seem fairly fresh?
Because old men bone said that the hag who we now know is just made of was in the castle a few hundred years ago. Maybe a few people use this. Okay. Coagorn sniffed the two eggs that are still there.
But are they still alive or are you saying I highly know? Yeah. Yeah. Get a perception check.
I'm trying to smell rotten egg. Hopefully without opening it. Nope. Nope.
You know, smell anything? You kind of get most of the smell that you're getting is like dust and kind of like ironing smell from like the dried blood on the ground. So just pretty thick. Okay.
Probably not going to be eating or even though it's in carpet. It's been a long time. So you're not really getting sent off the egg. I mean, it's been here for a couple hundred years.
It's probably done. But hey. There it is. Also a door in this room.
Ooh, obviously the left side. Hey. Is it at least one other like the grizzly crib? I want to take a look at that.
Is there anything of interest there? No, it's just a crib. It looks like based on that and the rest of this room, if you look past the blood in the nest, it looks like this room is probably a nursery at some point. And the crib has just been shoved out of the way.
Okay. Is there also a desk? There's no desk here. So I guess they can get a desk.
They've got to do their taxes too. I'm sure this is the one I would have been getting the taxes. There's a door to the left. Yes, the door to the left.
This is a small room. The door opens up along the bottom wall. And it goes, the room goes about 10 feet deep. And then it is 20 feet long.
And I think there's much skeleton here. I remember hearing. Humidoid skeletons? That's right.
There is a simple bed frame without a header or a foot board and has a looking mattress sagging down in the frame touching the ground. And the room is full of humanoid bones that look at the end of the constructed here via the push room that is popped up by the door. She's feeding people to the table. Seems like it.
That explains why the mixture recipes were so vague. You should get the clean. I admire her attention to detail. Okay.
Anything shiny or interesting with the pal bones probably not. I'm making a investigation check if you want to make a decision. I'll take a look at the mattress. Right.
Nope. It's just ten. Neither do you find anything. The mattress seems to be such with straw and it's gotten moist and unoiced and consolidated.
It's gotten moist and unoiced and it's all lumpy and gross. And the bones literally the floor and you don't see anything of interest among them. Interesting. I don't remember what this area looks like.
There was a hallway and I think there was one door on the left and two on the right. Yes. Past this room that you entered, there is a stairway going down. Okay.
And then there is a room at the end of the hallway. There's a door down there. And then there are two rooms on the opposite side of the hall. Take a look at the first room on the way down to the end of the hall.
So, this is a nursery. One of the rooms you passed and there's another one in front of you. Oh, we passed a room? Yeah.
You passed a room. So, we want to look at the head books rooms. This is really better which one it works. Yeah.
I don't think I have anything written for each room separately anyway. Okay. So, these are both bedrooms. They have no other exit.
There are four rooms in each. You mentioning this full-roach. Should we be pulling on all of them? Wait, I'll close on one.
You pull on one. It falls right now. No, this one actually seems, this one's pretty strong. Oh, you pull out nothing seems to happen.
You're not really a bell ringing or anything? No. No, this is probably a seven second. Seven chicken.
So, these rooms are more elaborate than the bedrooms that you saw downstairs. So, you can guess probably that these were family rooms and if you want to investigate the rooms, you may tell you. Fourteen. Oh my God.
Three. Okay. Wait a minute. You choose a couple of items.
Day, you find a set of gold bracers. Like, I can't think of a word, but the sort of bracers that you would wear if you were to get a grade if they wouldn't actually protect you. Yeah, they're not really going to protect you. They're just fancy and gold.
They're like big bracelets, really. Okay. And, hey, goodbye. You find a mother of pearl hair clay.
I've been a beautiful little guy. So, those are the items of note that you find in the room. Yeah. You have a note time.
At the end of the hallway, if you were to go through that, it is the latrina of course. Uh-huh. From where you intern, just like here, there are hallways that continue downward. If you want to go back and do that.
How much more keep is there? Would you say that this is two thirds of it? Or is this almost everything? Well, if you cut off the words chambers area, which sits on a little farther, it would be about half.
Okay, so there's a lot more to explore on the second floor? Yes. There's also a lot on the first floor that you guys have covered. Yeah, because we decided to stop looking and try and go over where we thought the prize would be.
And you found the trailer? Yeah, if we were eluding, then we're done. Sure. Yeah.
But the chicken mystery has not been solved. Let's search continue. Do we have to go through piece by piece or could we like say there's a hallway, three doors, we each check one room? Kind of do it.
Okay, because I don't want to completely split up because then somebody's going to get taken out by a juggler. But... Yeah, I always have it. Yeah, if we do an ordered sweep of the entire second floor, just using the same approach we have used, investigating searching the rooms, we're actually looking for specific information right now.
So if we find more dirty books, maybe we don't spend that much time on. Yeah, hang up on it. Completely. Give me a second.
I can go into the train for... We do the... this whole area of the keep and then we go down back down to the first floor and do a continued sweep there. Okay, you guys go down this hallway and say you guys take the next three doors.
Okay, you go to the first door. And this seems to be a storage room of some sort. There are some weapons. There's a large firefish with a cauldron.
And there are large jugs filled with hardened tar and rubbery oil. The two doors you guys go into, you end up in the same room. And there's another third room for the one you can see. And as you guys appear to be in a barracks, there are a lot of beds and there are a couple of doors that meet out and you step out onto them.
They go onto the top of those two little towers at the front. Oh, these two little pep towers. Right. Also in that hallway that you guys step into, the floor of that hallway has a bunch of track doors in the floor.
Like, murals, recently? Yeah, murals. Okay. Scared Wayland.
I just know one here. Next three. Wayland? Yeah.
You've got a storage room. You two both have bedrooms. I've been looking for notes or other information about our specific chicken quest. I think a 13.
You made a 13 looking for notes about the chicken quest or anything. You're not finding it. Okay. We need Wayland to make a dexterity safe.
Uh, those are specific bills for you. I guess. I didn't do this on purpose. 10.
10 just makes it. I got it for danger sense. This green slime just falls down right behind you as you pass through the doorway and splash it on the floor and hear this hissing sound. As it's raised out across the floor.
That's not an invisible bar. At least it was an invisible bar. Although I would have preferred that. Jesus.
Especially that's supposed to be in the basement. I just want to pour sand so well. I have walls. Let's do it again there.
I mean, no. So, in this room, Wayland, there's, it's filled with various equipment from making repairs, that's fair lumber and stones and some tools. And a few pieces of furniture. Okay.
And there's like a pantry in here as well with some rotten food and a couple of bottles of alcohol. And there's also a door to another room. I take a little alcohol. So, if you're in a bedroom, are you looking for anything?
Yeah, searching through. Okay. Uh, roomy investigation. Oh, that's good.
Eight. Okay. Yeah, there are bedrooms. There are fancy bedrooms, but you don't find anything in there.
Wayland, if you want to go into that other room. Sure. Uh, this is a small room. It appears to be like a room for a servant.
There's a simple bed. And there's like a door hanging up above the door. And there are a bunch of different bells, a bit of different sizes hanging from them. And from those bells, there's a bunch of ropes that lead up into the ceiling.
Ah, yeah. Not all the way up in the ceiling. Something that kind of flopped over and broken. Okay.
I found where the ropes go. So that mystery solved. Yeah. There's still a tree on the opposite side.
And that is the floor. Cool. Are we, this is strictly for curiosity's sake. Are we at a point that we could actually see your map?
Or is there no sign? Uh, no. You can see this. That is a blanch.
That's where you're on. Oh, I see. Okay. Okay.
Cool. Murder. So, uh, cover of people process downstairs, I guess. Okay.
So where are you going downstairs at? Are you going down to the tower? Everything just locked into place. Uh, are you going down to the tower or down one of the stairwells?
I don't remember how we got up. I think we came up here. Yeah. So we'll go down the stairwell on the other side.
Okay. So you go down that stairwell. There's a littering on the side. There is lots of latrines for like a very small fort.
It really has to go a lot. It was all the gray. And probably alcohol. There is a door across the hall and there is a double door on the same side of the hall as you.
You guys can just tell me where you want to go. Except you can't go to the middle part without going to the tower unless you happen to discover a secret doorway instead. I remember all these things. We're on this side right now, right?
Yep. You just came out of that stairwell over there. Here's a littering. Okay.
And you said the single door. And that, so, I mean, if the double doors are more interesting to me. Chapel. Up to the chapel.
Yeah. Okay. So you guys step into the chapel. I'm going to dance all the way.
We can dance. And you can beat those notes at the bottom. Please don't. And there are also some little notes that say bats, but we can ignore that.
Are they bats? That looks like it's bats. It's some flavor text I forgot about. Maybe it's in here.
I forgot about that. I think it's a north bastion. It's a bat. A bat.
It's a bat. It's a bat. Oh, I'm the... I see that one.
It's really looking like this. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. On the river room. I was there looking up.
Oh, northeast. That was a beat. Whoops. Okay.
He's a chapel. This is a beautiful room. It's held in wood stained dark brown with geometric inlays of lighter wood. And there are these tall wooden pillars that reach to the ceiling.
There are rows of cushion cover pews that sit to the other side of the double doors. And a red carpet runs down the aisle and around to a raised platform where there's a podium and a choir box. That angle section at the back of the chapel there. That is a stained glass wall.
Wow. What does it depict? The main image which takes up most of the wall is of an all-is-skinned man who has baby black hair and beard. He's wearing chainmail armor covered by a purple-tuned trimmed gold.
He wears a crown on his head, made of gold, inlet with white stars and blue gems. Offset him is a kneeling man who has light brown skin with brown hair, but long-run hair. He's wearing bronze colored chainmail and a red-tuned trimmed silver. The man of purple has brushed a sword through the kneeling man's body.
Blood's pulling on the ground behind him. And in the blood is an inverted crown made out of rose gold and set with brown black gems. And the sword extends into the center of this crown. So the standing man is stabbing through the kneeling man.
And the kneeling man's crown is on the ground. And the sword is going through the crown into the crown's. Can we confirm that the standing man is Hubert? Who could he go?
I was actually looking at my fear of religious. So can I make her religion? You can only history, you can only religion. I think it's probably to do with Cordon d'Il, but I don't know.
So a mother heads is also a banner that says Pro Sumo Honoré. And the king of the G-Man is a- Cordon d'Il, next is a set of double vest doors that lead out into the courtyard. Oh, it's not. At least I've read on religion.
My religion was 15. 16. Okay, so basically all of you are pretty sure that this is depicting Cordon d'Il and plexor. Which is actually Cordon d'Il is the one standing and plexor is the one slaying kneeling.
Especially, this is plexor because of the sword going through the crown, which is plexor simple. And it's pretty easy to figure out this Cordon d'Il because to the side of the image is just like a row of symbols of Cordon d'Il just down the sides. That's what gave it away for me. Okay, maybe we shouldn't, oh let's look around here, but leave anything in line.
Maybe long go out to the other place. So you got cool with the kesser creating this place? Do we find the hula? So you guys look around here.
There's nothing cooler than that image. There's nothing really in here. It's pretty easy. Actually it might be a good place to rest later.
You guys continue looking around this floor. Somebody give me a few more people. 93? Okay.
So you guys continue looking around this floor. You don't find much else of interest. You don't find anything else interesting if you want to go back into this middle section. So I do figure that we would be looking around and realizing like there's this whole big chunk that we can't get into.
Like what? I'm going to get into you. You realize also that you can't get into the tower from here even though you know there's an exit. We did just get a bunch of windows.
You want to use those. You can or you can climb back up to the tower and come down. Yeah, let's do that. So you come back down here and you investigate this escape route.
There's a dressing room in there which has some yellow mold in there. But it's not all encompassing. So if you guys just want to avoid that you can pretty easily. You go through there.
You find that there are a couple of peoples into these two rooms on the side where somebody could look through and spy on whoever was in those rooms. And you find the throne at the very end of the passage way. Okay. And that's all that's really on the floor.
So we've found all the information that we're going to get. You found no more information. You're not going to find any more information. You actually find everything except for that yellow mold in this there.
Which you don't really find it. That's just an answer. There aren't really any other items here that you can get unless you want to go pick up the King of Water. Do we want to bring a wizard with us?
I kind of think that one is enough. Yeah. So we'll say too many. So our next move would be to follow the passage out.
That passage out there. Out of the cellar. It was in the basement. There's also, there was no way into the basement there.
But there are a couple of stairwells over here. Or one stairwell over by the tower that goes down to the basement which you find. So if you want to explore that next time as well. Okay.
Yeah. So hold up in the chapel and make it started to go ahead. Thank you for listening. Legend of Chill is a work zone production.
