In our last episode, and you might need a refresher if you've been listening as these episodes come out because it's been a long time, the party blew off steam by getting into a bar fight. Really, that's just about it. Day turned into a bear and fought. Whalen laid on the ground and drank and fought.
Polaestra ate a bunch of noodles. That's where we are now. Our adventurers today are Kieran who plays Whalen the Barbarian. Excuse me, I tease an angel.
Max who plays Plaestra the Monk. It's nice to help people. Da. Theron who plays Day the Druid.
Nobody wants to cuddle with a big frog and RDM hazel. Polaestra is waiting for the magic. What are you two doing? Welcome, fellow travelers, to Legends of Chal.
I assume you all had a long rest. Oh yeah. Oh, Spike, buddy. When did you get hurt?
I'm taking a marshmallow rats. Maybe? I don't think so. I didn't have them go into the fight.
I don't remember. I'm just going to fix everything. Okay, we will wait for you to fix things, I guess. No, I can play and fix this.
You're the one who can pay attention while doing something else, okay? Yes, ma'am. You wake up the next morning? Is there anything that you guys are doing in the morning?
I will ask the bartender for their strongest hangover here, but otherwise I don't think I have anything. Cool. I think Polaestra gets up, perhaps earlier than usual, and enjoys breakfast with the Marilitha. They took up to the room the night before.
So you could do that, except you don't see that Marilitha around. Breaking their heart over there. All right, then Polaestra has double breakfast for themselves because they're sad. Cool.
I don't think we have anything special. Okay. I don't remember. Should I...
Hazel, what do you want me to do about the idea I had? Oh, that. I mean, if Dave wants to bring that up, Dave can. So last night, something that Wayland said started percolating, and I realized that we might be able to find a portal to the Feywild here in one of the stations, and then we could go save Ichabod.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. I definitely would be down for that, but... Well, I don't know.
Like, there's not very much information available about what's in the stations. We'd have to find somebody who knows what the fuck is going on. I don't know how to prioritize it or to make anything happen, but it's something we can do. Yeah, I think you talked to somebody here, and you asked them if they knew which portals went where.
Yeah, when we got here, we talked to that beholder. I don't remember if they had a name. But they were like, no, I don't know. And wait, where does this portal go?
So I don't think it's really common knowledge, which is fucking wild, by the way, Hazel. Thank you. They're waiting in this long, long line to go to a mystery place because of some rats. Anywhere is better than here.
That's true. Okay, so you guys have been up and talking for a while, and you have not seen Psyche. Where did she go? Oh, we had another person with us yesterday, didn't we?
Yeah. Snakehead lady. Snakehead lady. Where did she go?
Um, so, I mean, do we go to her house and see? Do we... Let's... Like, she wasn't staying here, was she?
Um, I think I was the first one to go up to my room, so I wouldn't know. I think she was staying at home. Was she supposed to meet us here? I feel like she was supposed to meet us here.
I think she was probably going to meet us here. I don't know why she didn't. I don't know why she was going to go up to the bartender and ask if there are any messages for any of us. Okay, so you go up to the bartender and he goes, oh, yes, sorry, I forgot.
Your friend, the Medusa, Phyllis, I think. Psyche. Psyche, okay, yes. Her wife came in last night after you'd all gone to bed and, well, she left you this note and these portions of healing and this spear and, well, I read the note.
And here it is, but it basically says that her wife has convinced her to stay home and she wishes she's the best of luck on her journey and she'll stay fighting the good fight here. Alright. Oh, well. I guess we're all just, you know, you blame them.
Right? Like how I went to bed with someone and woke up and they weren't there. I'm sorry, I missed the first time of what you said. No, no, the police threat is just being grumpy and trying to make it about them because they're still mad about how their morning has gone.
Oh, but... Dave will like nudge police. You can't dwell on these things. Like we lost someone too.
It's fine. We move on. Yeah. I just thought we had like a real connection last night.
So pretty true. Sniffle. Better luck next time. Dave is just like blank faced possibly doesn't even know what you're talking about.
Yeah, you wouldn't because you tried to not let it happen. I don't remember that. You definitely told the Marilith that I was a mess and that they shouldn't hang out with me or anything or sleep with me or any of that. I like make a thinking face like I read my chin and I'm like, I don't remember that but it sounds right.
Okay. So we have to find the queen, I guess. Yeah. And she's in the middle.
So we have to fly through some soup to the middle. Soup? What soup? Everything.
All of the stations around here are surrounded by like astral, gray, cloudy, nothingness. Yeah, astral, it doesn't sound like any kind of soup I want to eat. I mean, not that I really want to eat anything because I just had breakfast. Steak and eggs.
Something's wrong with this picture. I can't put my finger on it. Alright, so where's this queen that we're going to kill? So as you're talking about traveling through the astral sea to some other place, Caliban, the lips bartender just leans over and says, so I couldn't help but here you three talking and I hear you're planning on traveling somewhere else.
That's the plan. She rather knows you for someone without a nose. I love this glottish, crab, it's lips. It's very good.
Well, I don't know how you're thinking about getting there. You could just float it out but it's a pretty slow way to travel. You might try hitting up this Rebu, I guess this Rebu Tiffle now and getting one of them to fly you out just a bit quicker that way. Can you explain more?
Day looks very tired and it's just like smiling. Sure, Rebu Tiffles, this company, used to be two companies but now it's one. They fly people around. They're like a taxi service.
Most of them just fly around in the city if you need to get somewhere quick, late for work or whatever but some of them do take longer trips out. They're these weird, flat, flying creatures. What are they called? I don't know what they're called.
Anyway, they've got a few offices around town. You could probably go around there and hire them to take you out to wherever you're going. Okay, they probably know more about the different stations in La Sayre. So that's probably a good bet.
Thanks. You're welcome. What do they typically charge? For a long trip like that I don't know.
I've never been out the side of the station really. It's not too bad if you're trying to get from place to place in the station but it would probably be quite a bit more going out. Here's a long way to anything out there. Okay, thank you for your help.
No problem. So we'll head there to the nearest Rebu Tiffle office. The the Gittney station as it were. Or not.
Okay, is that the soundest for you? Google link? That's a regional reference, sorry. Sorry, what?
I've sewn down. I'll call it. Yeah, you guys head over to the nearest Rebu Tiffle office. You see that there's like a bunch of big doors alongside one level of the building.
But there's a smaller balcony door that you can all land on and walk through. Cool. So you go in and it's a big room and behind the desk is this big floating manta ray skate looking thing. And it looks like you and says hello.
How can I help you all today? We here at Tiffle are Rebu Tiffle are excited to serve you. You need transportation somewhere? I have an out of character question for you.
Do you want me to ask about this company merger? Not interested. I'd have to make everything up anyway. You have a creation.
I fucking want it. I just I don't want to make you make it up. I don't want to make it up. Out of character.
I needed a transportation company. And so I thought of Uber and Lyft. So I combined them into one company and put their names backwards. So that's all I know.
Cool. So I go up to the ray and I say we are looking to travel outside of the station. I probably have a few questions about that. What does it cost?
I would assume that it depends on where you want to go and also like how much do you know about the other stations because we are interested in the portals that might be in them. Okay. Let me make a roll. Seven.
That's not very good. Oh, the other stations, huh? And their portals? I can you got some pamphlets I can give you on the stations?
Sure. I don't think any of them mention anything about where the portals go. Okay. That's fair.
It seems like it's not the most common knowledge. You have a weird situation here. That's very great. Thank you for the pamphlets.
But we're actually pretty interested in getting to the temple. So how much how much would it cost to go there? Well, that's closer I guess than like if you're trying to go to station one or something. Nobody ever goes there.
So let me let me let me check. Wait, how come nobody goes there? Because the queen lives there. Oh, I thought maybe there was someone there.
I don't know why. They hover out through a doorway in the back and it's a little while before they return. And they're like, we do have one person that's experienced with that route. Not going to charge you anymore for that specialized knowledge, but we do have somebody and distance take a few days travel after bring some supplies.
We've got a chart now. It's like a 120 gold each. Oh, he's steep, but well, he's got to carry you all the way there. More people is heavier.
It's more work. That's fair, I guess. Yeah. Can I get like, can I do an insight or something on whether he's like inflating the rate or something?
You can. 15. You don't think he's inflating the rate? You think this is probably their standard rate, but you think that you probably could talk him down a bit?
Day is not really a haggler. Like what element of her life would lead her to understand the existence of haggling. I mean, Palastera would definitely be aware of haggling, but would probably not want to do. We can just pay.
We have money. So like that sounds great. None of us are haggling. Yeah.
I will hand over the gold. Okay. So you guys paid? Yeah, we paid 360 gold, right?
All right. So if you'd like to follow me, I'll lead you to your bay and Joaquin will be with you shortly. Oh, that is if you're ready to go. I'm ready.
You guys ready? Yeah. So right this way, and they lead you out through a large door out into a hallway and they lead you around to one of the base. And after a little while Joaquin shows up, you probably can't tell much difference between him and the person who you talk to at the counter, but he shows up and he's like, Oh, hello, there.
I heard you're going to the temple. Don't get much traffic out that way. Why are you headed there? I haven't seen you in my business.
And you know, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. We are going to place returns, not sure if they should actually say kill the queen. Probably not. Day like puts a handout and says, we want to see if we can get an audience with the queen.
All right. Yeah. Don't know anybody who's really taught to her. I just, you know, I like flying around and I've taken some trips.
I've been out that way hardly anybody, hardly anybody else has. I'm not thinking about you. And this officer have been out that way, just me. So yeah, I guess I've never took anybody out there before, just exploring.
You ever go exploring? You guys like exploring? Yeah. I've been doing a lot of exploring lately.
Yeah, good stuff. I really enjoy it. Anyway, you're probably tired of me yammering on. You'll get a lot of that on the road anyway.
So might as well hop on and get going. This guy. Is this dangerous or is it really just like basically swimming through nothing? It's a lot of swimming through nothing.
There's some weird stuff out there. You never know what you're going to find really. So it's good to be prepared, but I fly faster than most things out there anyway. So usually you can avoid them pretty good.
Sounds good. Yeah, like I said, it could be dangerous. You never know. We don't care of ourselves.
So that's all right. Can we? Yes. Mostly.
Okay. All right, sounds good. There's going to be a few stops along the way. It's going to be a few days trip.
So hope you got everything you need. We should. Couple days before we get to another shop. So all right, you're ready.
You're ready. We'll open up this door here and we'll get going. I mean, we climb aboard, right? Are we climbing onto Joaquin or is there like a chariot or what's the deal?
You are going to climb it onto Joaquin. Joaquin is very big. These creatures are very big and they can carry the three of you quite easily, really. Does he have like a saddle or something or is it just sitting on him, basically?
He's got like a thing strapped onto him. It has like four seats. Okay, cool. I'll put a spike in the fourth seat.
All right. Y'all sitting down up there? Yeah. We're all good to go.
Yeah. Strapped in. Yeah. Sure.
He says he's finished stepping in. Let's get going then. So the garage door like thing in front of you opens up and he flies out and very quickly, you are outside of the station and through the bubble and flying away from it. When we're out, can we like see it getting further away or is it like very quickly, it's just all the same or what's what is the environment like?
You can see the station fading away. He's not moving so quickly that it's like sonic boom and instantly out of sight or anything. I was not thinking he was going that quickly. I was thinking that like the fog or whatever might obscure.
No, I don't think there was a lot of fog. The sky is dark. So like you're floating through like blackness, but the city's pretty bright so you can see that as it's going away. But also in the blackness are these bright orange luminous filaments that stretch out like fingers of lightning.
Okay. But they're just kind of floating there. They're not really moving like lightning or anything. So this ought to be a good trip.
You guys, you guys leave station five a lot? Well, we actually only got to station five yesterday, but it was through the portal. This is our first time in Old Dominion. Oh, off world or something.
I've never seen any of you. That's weird, interesting. So where's that portal hit to? Anyway, where are all those guys going?
Anywhere good? It's called the material plane. I like it. I mean, it's where all my stuff is.
Material plane or all your stuff is. That's a good one. Yeah, I've heard of it. Didn't know that's where that one was going.
That's a good info to know. I don't really know much about it. Material, I guess. It's probably nothing like this, huh?
You ever seen a place like this before? Definitely not. Nope. I like it.
It's really pretty floating out here through the darkness. All of them orange filaments of light out there. You don't want to fly into one of those. They're hot.
But pretty. I don't get too close. All right, you three ain't much of a talker, huh? No, it's...
I don't even know what I would be saying or asking. It's like a really weird situation to be anything. That's all right. You know what I know?
I know it's all kind of new to you. You've never been to this place before. I've probably never seen anyone quite like me before, but who has? So yeah.
It's nice to have you all. I don't got to be good talkers. Talk enough for anybody. And we can just fly on.
You ever want to talk about anything? You just say, hey, shut up. Walk in. I'll shut up.
I'll listen to you. You guys fly on for a while. I'm not going to talk for the six or eight hours or whatever that walking would be doing. I was just going to say I feel like wait, let's just sit beside and look at the window the whole time.
He's just gazing. Yeah. I'm like, what am I playing? I bring books and podcasts to listen to and then I just stare out the window the whole night.
Yeah. So you guys fly on for a while and then I'm going to need a perception check from everybody. Oh, shit. Here we go.
24. Twenty five. All right. Day and Bailin in the distance.
You see two small like dots of light that seem to be moving towards you. I, uh, what are those? Yeah, I make sure that walking is aware. Oh, so walking looks over and is like, oh, well, that was like one of those dangers you guys were worried about.
Probably nothing too serious. It's like a couple of people wearing packs coming this way, probably a intent on Robin you. I can try it out flying, but then packs are actually pretty fast. So we'll see how it goes.
So walking takes a different tack and tries to outfly them. And let's see how this goes. 15, not too bad, but I don't think quite good enough. So walking does some maneuvers tries to shake them, but they keep getting closer.
And as they approach, you can see that they are a, um, there's a mirrorless and a washer with and they stop in front of you and walking stops and says, no, we don't want any trouble. Just a view fly away. That'd be pretty good. The washerless, which I don't remember what that looks like.
I'm not going to know. Washerless looks like a sort of sneaky lizardy person with a bunch of big scales sort of coming back off of its head and it has hook hands and its face sort of looks like a very mean fish face. That thing is horrifying. Those scales look easy to pry off.
Yeah, they look like, they almost look like they put some dragon scales on his armor. Like they don't look entirely like a part of their body. Yeah. And we all know what a mirrorless looks like because, um, I swear to God, are we about to get fucking robbed by my one night stand?
Oh, Lord. I was going to ask, is it a familiar mirrorless? So they're wearing masks as well as their packs. And also this is like, no, you guys all just stop there and we're going to take all the coin that you have.
And you see the mirrorless kind of look at all of you and she kind of leans over to the washerless and whispers a bit and the washerless kind of like rolls their eyes and they say, uh, all of you except that mine attire. I'll just slowly turn the picture. Definitely. It's definitely what was the mirrorless name?
I don't think we definitely get a damn number. I'm asking because I don't think that we officially established that like on the show. I might have given her a name. Hold on.
I did not give them names in my notes. So if you would just like to make up a name on it right now, feel free. My brain's torn between like three names. What's the three we can choose?
Uh, Leela, Lee Liu and Susan. I really like Susan. Yeah, mostly comparison to the other two really. Well, no, I like Leela.
Leela's fine. But Susan, there's something about Susan there. Okay. So I look at the mirror a little bit the mask.
I go, Susan, really? You were such a good judge of character, please, sir. She just kind of waves her hands a bit in like a cutting motion and lowers her voice and goes, no, I don't know any Susan. You know what?
You guys seem like nice folks. Maybe we should just let them go. And the West Side of the world is eyes and it's like, I don't care if you are not Susan and do not have a relationship with one of these people. Oh, a relationship.
I wish that's what we had. Except someone just disappeared in the morning after I poured my heart out all night. Oh boy. Maybe, maybe she had to go to work.
This is work? Robin, my friends? I'm not Susan. You seem nice.
So maybe, maybe we should just let you go, right? No, we're not just letting them go. Give us, give us, give us all your money. No, we're not doing that.
We're not giving you our money. You can let us go or we're going to fight because we're not giving you money. I unbuckle myself and pull out my sights. Make an intimidation check.
Can I assist? Hey, natural 20 for a 20. Alright. See if they also get a natural 20.
Pretty close. I rolled 19. Yeah, close but it has cigar. Alright, so the washerlith looks at you and looks at your companions and is like, alright, we will let you go.
You look like fine, upstanding citizens and you not need to pay the tax for bad citizens. Okay. We are very official people. Are you two?
Are you two? All right. Do you need any good berries? Oh, no.
We do not need anything. You seem like very nice upstanding citizens and we are very official people for taxing bad people. So, yes, you may all go and do not attack us because we are very official. Alright.
It was great to meet you. Yes, very good meeting you too. We will continue our patrol. Thank you very much.
We will have a lovely day indeed. That kind of went into a weird Indian-ish accent which might be bad but... If it comes off bad, I will have you redo it. Sounds good.
They wave and not Susan blows a kiss at Palatstra as they fly off. Thank you for listening. Legends of Child is an Orx Zone production made possible through the support of our wonderful patrons.
