In our last episode, the party fought Margwen against terrible odds, despite the powerful magic items they had on their side. After some heated fighting, Whelen used the sort of severance to purify the curse and bring Margwen back to herself. Join them now after a rest at a meeting with Margwen to discuss their next steps. Our adventurers today are Kieran, who plays Whelen of Arbarian, Max, who plays Polaster of the Monk, David, who plays Ichabod the Wizard, I mean if you've been wondering what my skeleton looks like, ta-da!
Theron, who plays David Ruid, and why'd you spell your beans? And our DM, Hazel. Solid non-hot fire. Welcome fellow travelers to Legends of Chill.
So it's the next day, you're all rested up as you get out of bed so you see the keeper of the crypt and she says, Oh, good morning everyone. How did things go with the old spider queen? About as good as you could expect I think. We managed to un-corrupt her.
Oh, that sounds excellent and she didn't kill you after that? No, she seemed like a nice lady. Mm-hmm. Do you think she would be interested in these fine leather jackets?
Good joke, but not where I was going. In getting rid of these unsightly additions to the temple and rededicating it to Mire. Well, you could ask. I have no idea, but yeah, you could ask.
Probably? I don't know. Okay, um... I'm sorry, do you want us to ask for you?
I say in like a sort of, your 16, can't you call the doctor yourself? Of course. Well, I mean, you're going up anyway and I'm supposed to be here guarding the crypt. Mm-hmm.
Well, there are all those skeletons. No, there's a horse skeletons. It's a fine hunt if you go in that room. Mm-hmm.
Sure. We're ready to write. I guess we can ask. We can put it on the list.
You never know what may appear. I mean, you did, so that's something. So what we're just waiting for, what was what? Oh, we just have to go back up and see if she still wants to talk to us.
Why would she not want to? I don't know, maybe she slept on it and was like, I don't want to do anything for them. They tried to kill me. What, we saved her.
We weren't trying to kill her, we were trying to cure her. And we did. The killing was like the backup plan. Oh, then.
Oh, let's get back up there then. You climb back up the ladder and you find yourself in the store room once again. I assume you open the door to go out. Yeah, and we look for the queen.
And as the door opens, you hear a little bell ring. You step out into the hallway and you find that the temple has been cleaned up since you left. Dust and spider webs have disappeared. And while the temple still shows signs of its age, you can better appreciate its beauty.
Cool. From your right, you hear a margarine call out to you. Good morning. I hope you're all hungry.
Always. Always. Yeah. So if you head off to the room to your right from the store room.
Sure. You see a margarine standing near a large dining table filled with food. I hope everything's to your liking. I did what I did on the short list.
Thank you. It looks like you did plenty. Yeah. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Come sit, eat. And then we can talk after. Okay.
And so we ate. Chomp, chomp, chomp. What kind of food? Give us like a long detailed description of the marvelous feast.
Oh, a long detailed description of the marvelous feast. I thought I would crowdsource that. Oh, okay. So what would you like to see at this table?
Sticking eggs. There are pancakes. I'll say those. So is that it?
It's just blueberry pancakes. And steak and eggs. I'm just the loudest. A giant plate of steak, eggs and bacon with some home fries.
Multiple kinds of juice. Eggs, Benedict. Oh, yeah. You've got to try these ribs.
Ribs got like one of everything. This ribs on a massive plate. Corn muffins. Okay.
Painishes. You might not think of it, but the chocolate sauce on the ribs. No, I'm not. It's a hallway.
It's good. It's good for you. I don't like the way sauce. I'm really.
Yeah, but it's way lit. Yeah. Right? He used to just eat.
He used to eat. He used to eat. Oh, god. I forgot the mayonnaise.
Oh, god. So bad. It's good for me. I'm never eating mayonnaise for the rest of my life.
I forgot that. That's so close. It kept me alive. And my whole family.
That's not living. That's just surviving. Yeah. That's the whole point.
That's why we went on this ridiculous place. I was actually living. I'd probably still be having, you know, still be with my wife. Anything else you guys want to do over breakfast?
Is this the point where we discuss our wishes? Yeah, I think we can. I think we're good. Sounds good.
So you guys finish up eating and she's like, so I believe you all, I owe you all a wish. Have you decided what you want? I think we might have some questions first. Yeah.
Okay. So we came with plans to ask you to fix up this realm to like make things work traditionally so that rats aren't taking over and things like that. I am just curious as to your plans for the realm. Like we don't have to wish for that to be better.
Do we? That's something you can do? No, yes. I fully intend to make things better here.
I mean, I, I've, I've, I've considered returning to my old realm, but I don't really think there's anything for me there anymore from what I can tell I've been gone a very long time. My husband's dead and I killed a lot of people. So it's probably really best if I don't go back. Well, I mean, you could go back and make a life there.
I'm sure it wouldn't be the same life, but I just want to make sure that this world is okay first. I don't. I think I'm going to stay here. So I will continue ruling this realm.
Though in a far better manner than I have so far, I have to figure out what to do about dominion since he's still floating around, but I can certainly fix things up so that the rats and other small creatures aren't so much of a problem. All right. And with that matter addressed, then we can assume that what we're encountering back in our homes will also be taken care of. Is that right?
The, the horde of spiders and so forth that will no longer be pouring into our homes. Correct. So there's an interesting thing I discovered while you were all sleeping. The way that this world was tied to yours, it was kind of tied to the area where your home bills run was, and it was kind of separated from the rest of the world.
So you're from Shell, much as I was, but you were also kind of outside of it. Anyway, I've disabled that portal and so things should be a lot better there now since it is no longer tied to this realm. So we were like in twinned Fanny Pack dimensions? I'm so glad you got used to that.
That makes it sound so much more legit when you say it. Fanny Pack? Instead of pocket dimensions? It's like a fanny pack.
It's a running joke. Oh, okay. Yeah, something like that, I guess. Okay.
So the bills run should be back in the real world now. Oh, we worked even real work. Okay. I wonder how I got in there.
That is a good question. That is a good question. It is one I thought of while I was saying this aloud. And I was like, it's okay.
Fate. Magical mystery tour. Orked tour. Oh, no.
Oh. So everything should be, I mean, they could be being invaded by tribes of orcs or something now. I don't know. But the cursed forest with the spiders and monsters shouldn't be an issue anymore.
Glass half full. Right. That's literally the entire point of the mission. That's wonderful.
Yeah. I think that we'll be able to defend from regular stuff if we can't supplies and things. How do we get back? Well, that's a good one.
I will send you back. Wonderful. Oh, send you back to Bell's Run. Felistra here, since they're not from Bell's Run.
If they would like to go back somewhere else, then I'm willing to do that as well. Well, we'll figure that out after the wishes, I guess. Very well. Okay.
Well, my wish is really simple. So I go first. We all made a bargain with a bunch of hags in order to get here, find you and all of that. Is it possible to wish that away?
I see. The exact terms are we were supposed to kill somebody who was at the portal. They said that he was the cause of all of this, but he was more like a defender, keeping stuff from this realm out of ours. I see.
And so I assume you want me to fix this without killing him. Preferably, yes. Yeah, ideally, like we definitely couldn't kill him even if we tried. So if that's the only way you can do it, but it would be better if we could alter the contract.
We could alter the contract and like get rid of it, erase that little piece of time. If you could give us something to kill the eggs, we could go do that. Yeah, that would probably. I see.
Hag contracts are difficult, but I can do this. I think probably the best way would be if I killed him and then brought him back to life really quickly, that would should nullify. That should clear your contract and then he would still be alive. And then we'd still owe them a favor in the future.
He would be dead. Yeah, you would have killed him by asking me to do it. So that would clear your contract. I think, right?
Well, then I made another one for Ikhaban's location, right? But it was the same. It was like, okay, yeah, if it'll work, then I won't question it. Yeah, you agreed to do.
It was a writer on the same contract. Yeah, basically. And I'm going to say it is good because I need to go. Great.
Yeah. Okay. So what about the rest of you? Well, can you uncorrupt an angel?
I purify. Maybe I don't know restore. I know about an angel that betrayed St. Michelle.
She's been like, she's been guiding me through this journey. Can you help restore her? That would be your Deva. What is her name?
Her name is Heather. Let me see. That is another quite difficult chance. Oh, but I see she is quite far along.
Oh, and yes, yes, I can do that for you. Wonderful. You've done most of the work already. That's also good because if I can help her, I can just, I can go home.
This little, this show of faith and caring for her by asking me for this wish. We'll certainly make it so that I can help her along. Good. Thank you for everything about the help.
Certainly you've helped me so much. It's only fair. Ichabod, Palestra. Ichabod, you have heard.
Okay. Well, my greatest fear is that our town, the place that we all know and love, came very close to ceasing to exist. And it's so special. And if it ever were to happen, nobody would even know.
And so my wish is that my professor, Professor Morentally, would discover a cache of magic items and scrolls and tomes from a barn. And with this discovery, secure Bell's Run's place in history as the center of knowledge and magic that we'd never be on the outskirts of civilization again. I know I'm thinking big here, but is such a thing possible? This is much easier than the other two that I was asked.
Well, easier than I thought they would be. Yes, I can do this. There are so many lost items from a barn in that area, it would be a small matter to bring a few together and bring them to the surface. I can't wait to see them.
I'm having unexpected big feelings. Aww. You're not even back home yet. I imagine why that's got the single tier going on.
He's like, we're not going to starve anymore. Like the gods. Anyone have any wishes they didn't get fulfilled? No, I think we're all wished out.
We don't have really anything to wish for. You have a family. You have goat friends. I have an idea, but it's a little bit self-serving.
What about wherever we are in one year, we all come back together, the four of us, for a meal, for time together. I would love to always maintain a friendship with this group considering all we've been through. I don't know if we need a wish to make that happen. It would make it easier.
As far as the wish goes, it could be wherever we are, we come to one location. Then once the dinner is over, we return to wherever we were. But again, it's very self-serving. I would love to do that.
I just think that's the following. I'm going to travel. But how much more fun if everyone walks through or in a doorway and they're in a different room? No.
I know what I'm going to wish for. I wish that all of my friends here never go on another adventure that they don't want to. That they get a choice in being adventurers in the future. That's very thoughtful of you.
What about you? I don't know. I think they're just rolling with the punches anyway. I got stuff to do, but it's nothing that can really be wished away.
Are you sure? I wished away the finishing the purification of an angel. You could wish for something for the Minitars. I know that you care about their history.
You could wish to learn more. You could wish for... Well, yeah, but if I wish for that, I don't know if that's going to fix the problems with me and my dad. I think maybe it's time I grew up and actually had a conversation with my parents about who they are and where we come from instead of, you know, acting out and running away.
You could ask to be blessed with wisdom and patience for this future conversation. Ask for a cool motorbike. Listen, if you guys don't want to basically get the retire from adventuring early, that's fine. Then I'll just wish for a cool magic life.
I think at this point... I think that we've secured our future basically. Alright, then I want a cool monk weapon that's enchanted in my mouth. Nice.
Okay. That's one legendary monk weapon for a play strong. And I don't know what that is, but that's okay. Yeah, exactly.
She looks around to you and goes, very well. I will get started on those quite soon. Is there anything else you want before I send you back home? I like grab another chocolate rib.
Hold it up and then shrug. We wouldn't mind seeing the merchant again. Maybe... Are you sure?
You know what? I brought that up as a wish and it was shot down out of character and affection. I still think it was a good idea. I don't like it.
I don't think you guys need it. I think the thing is you don't need the merchants anymore. You'll have other merchants that aren't weird statue magics coming by that might actually talk to you. You're right.
There is a spot. I could get a wagon. Yes, you could be the new merchant. The statue of the merchant in your land was destroyed.
Do we know about what? I think that's something to do with the portal, right? You didn't ask, but it was right near the portal where Jackery had been fighting monsters all the time. That was collateral, huh?
Yeah. That's a force set. There are other statues throughout the land. If you went to the Feywild, you could order a replacement.
Hopefully that's you. I could give you directions to the merchant in the Feywild, or I could tell you where other statues are. So you could go see the merchant somewhere else if you would like. Sure.
That sounds great. Okay. Which one? So she will give you that information.
You may now seek out the merchant sometime in the future. Did you want to return home right away, or do you want to continue on to Bell's Run with your associates? I would like to see my friends home town, and then I can just make my way home from there. Very well.
Let's get you back home, shall we? Do we have to click our heels together? I should have done that, huh? No, she just smiles and touches each of you on the forehead.
You feel this warts raining, aiding out from your forehead, and this green energy covers your body. And you find yourself on the Witchwalk, right outside the Witchwood. Things look very different from the last time you were here. There are no creepy green torches or candles lighting the entrance to the wood.
I forgot about those. There still is a large graveyard, but it seems less menacing somehow. It's the absence of the transforming Beastman headstone. Well, I forgot how long of a way we actually came.
Yeah, it was a long old time. Well, let's see what else has changed. Oh, God. I wonder how many skeletons and chickens are going to be here now.
I'm kind of excited to see. So you head towards town. As you get closer, you can hear the sounds of activity, the sound of hammering, as blacksmiths and carpenters go about their work, the faint murmur of talking, and the occasional peel of laughter. As you move even closer, ahead of you, you see McGrowthers boy running so hard, he looks like he's on the edge of stumbling.
He is chasing a midnight black chicken across the road. Careful, there boy. Pays you no mind. He is too busy trying not to fall at his end to catch this chicken.
As you continue moving closer to town, someone finally spots you and you hear them call out for from the wood. Well, it's just smiling because he gets to see chakin again. Curious people start to come out of their buildings to see who's approaching, and you also see a few skeletoners step out into view. Okay, okay.
Out of the way, you hear before Fenshire Pike pushes out through a cluster of people out into the road. Townwatch, she proclaims, what's your- Mom! It's a lie, is that you? What?
What happened? A lie. And she rushes up to you and gives you a big hug. I'll hug her right back and then carefully step out of her hug and throw my arms up and use presited agitation to create a huge, trumpety fanfare.
Look back! She looks at you and the expression is one of annoyance at first, but then she smiles and gives you another hug and says, it's good to have you back. Sorry about the skeleton. I'm pretty sure it's gonna go away soon.
Oh, right, he looks weird. She smiles and says, well, I hope that it stays, but I don't have to see it anymore anyway. And it's about that time that Alex and Omer push their way through the crowd and come together. I'm right, two of them, and hug them both.
Oh, it's so good. We're so glad you're safe. You've been gone for so long that you aren't- it's so good to have you. So long is like a normal amount of like a couple months or something, right?
We haven't been gone for years or anything. We saw some wild shit. Oh, no, it's been like five weeks. I guess it's really fast, but like, you know, nobody's ever coming back from the hags.
So, yeah. Yeah, I'm back. And I just hug them both as tight as I can. You hear loud?
Yeah, I was just gonna ask, but you go. You're loud running footsteps from behind the crowd on the street and people start to hurriedly move out of the way. You see, guys, there are barreling towards you. Fuck yes.
And she's not slowing down. It breaks for impact. She cries out. She slams into you at full speed.
Hell yeah. She raps her arms around you and lifts you up as she kills her moments and cuts you around. I missed you. I'll still be hugging like up in the air and hugging her back.
Thank Michelle, you're all right. It's been a trip, but God, I missed you. I missed you too. So much.
I just feel worried. No. Everybody else should be here soon. Just out there.
When I heard that you were back, I ran as fast as I could. Well, it'll be good to see them all too. And no more manes. No more manes.
Thank God. Yes. It's not too long before you're all surrounded by children, a day's brother and Waylon's mini nibblings. Maybe.
Maybe we could actually have a no. And then Withers comes up and looks at PlayStrap. Well, you're a big one, aren't you? So I'm told, don't think I know you, but I'll welcome to Bell's Run.
You've got the look about Red Horn about you. Is that right? Uh... What?
You know, Clan Red Horn. It's been so long. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. Uh, been so long.
I'm sorry. I'm wrong. I'm not familiar with that one. It's been so long since I've had the pleasure of talking to a number of the clans.
You know, I used to have a friend once. The Vyathan was their name. Oh, funny. I think I met her.
Oh, have you? I figured she must have died years ago. It's a long story. I'm sorry.
We've got time to tell it. I've got to tell it. I've got to tell it. At PlayStrap is like writing down like Ask Dad about Red Horn.
And then underneath if also Ask Mom question mark. Oh, I'd love to talk to you about all of that. And, uh, oh, I just found a bunch of magic items. I don't know if you'd like to look at any of them.
One of them looks pretty monkey. Oh, yeah. Oh, by the way, I've decided what I think PlayStrap's weapon would be if it matters for anyone in fiction. Yeah, it is a fiction.
I've seen it before. I've seen it. Has anyone seen Hellboy 2? Yes, no, it's been a while.
Okay. So the Prince has this weapon. The Spear. It can turn into a Spear, but it's basically what in D&D terms would be Yikolwa.
So I'm thinking like his Yikolwa thing that can turn into a long Spear. That's what I mean. I don't know if that matters, but that's what I'm imagining it would be. Sure.
It would probably have some additional features. Yeah, but that's the main gist of it without getting into stats that don't matter because the campaign is over. Yeah, if you ever decide to come back to these characters or some of these characters for some reason, we can figure that out if we remember. If you'd like to come with me, we can talk about things.
And I can show you this Yikolwa Spear thing that I found. I think you might be interested in. I think so. Glad there's something for you here, Police Row.
Okay, so you've returned surrounded by families and friends and, uh, Skeletowners and chickens. Is there anything else you would like to do? Any scenes you would like to play out before I ask you what you think that the future for your character looks like? I sort of feel like the rest of the day sort of becomes like maybe not for everybody, but like an impromptu party and there are more like sheep races, but this time I summon fake sheep so I don't have to hurt our old you.
Yeah, that sounds good. We only got you there. Go to the bar and just fight everyone. Um, right.
I got fancy whiskey for us to celebrate, but got about that. Oh shit. Yeah, I did that while we were shopping in, um, Station Five. I'm going to suggest that we, as close as possible, recreate our going away party.
The whole town invited the same kind of activities and games. Only this time I'll use my magic to recreate some of the significant episodes of the experiences that we had. Yeah, I like real. Yeah, it'd be, um, it'd be somewhat for the kids, but mostly for the adults just to say.
Look what we did. Sure. Yeah, Mom and Dad. I kind of like the idea of like a mix of magic and like you making us act out stuff.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's not what happened. Yeah, I'm here. Let's show him.
Oh God, no, uh, I'll do my best to like gently carry you on. No, no, let's not do it. We got to reenact it. The, the, you can wait, like accidentally go down to spear mode and knock something over.
Oh, okay. I don't know how to control it yet. I'm gonna, please, please, please give. It's not responsible to wield a weapon and drink.
That's true. Even though I am a tavern brawler. It's okay. If I need to, I'll just improvise a weapon and I, I winked at an empty chair.
share. We are having this festival where you have returned on Sun March the 18th. Where's the 19? We don't know.
Let's make it the 19th since today is the 19th. Yeah. Oh, it's a good idea. I like that.
Thank you. Sun March the 19th. And Bell's Run will continue celebrating this day as a local festival in the future. Is there a name anybody has that they think would be good for this festival?
The special holiday? Good. Oh, no, I've already forgotten the name of the nice Queen that we met and save. Margwin.
Margwin. Yeah. Yeah. I've totally I'm like, wow, we were just there.
I forgot her name. Mark, Margot Fest, Margwin Fest. Mark Fest. It's like, I don't think I have any good ideas.
I would like to weigh in against Margwin Fest, though. Okay. Oh, yeah. Thank you.
What about just heroes day and it'll mark a time that we remember what we were able to do, but also everyone from now on, every person who goes forth from Bell's run, who makes a mark who who changes the world for the better. That person will be remembered on Heroes Day. Perhaps I just like homecoming. The homecoming feast.
I like that. So it can be Heroes Day. And on Heroes Day, you have the homecoming feast. Yes.
Sure. Oh, that works. Yeah. I think that's a lot.
I love that. Okay. Let's start with Pillay Strut because they have some immediate future plans. What am I doing here?
Am I just kind of giving a little epiloger? Yeah, basically. So I assume you stick around in Bell's run for a little while. Yeah, just a few days just to make sure that the Queen held up her end of the bargain and everything school here for my friends.
Yeah. And then you'll say your goodbyes and you'll head home. Yeah. I don't know if anyone's joining me or escorting me to like the shore or anything.
If you're only sticking around for a couple of days, I'm not leaving again. If you wanted to stay around for a little while, then like, absolutely. I don't know. I mean, unless there was like a reason to I think the lace are really after all of this really misses home and wants to fix things with their own family, especially after seeing all of you reunite with your families, and making them cry.
That's something we can understand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. So I guess police were returns to chance to Kai, you know, making sure to just before the ferry or ship or whatever lands at the fort put on their very nice fancy dress that they also bought at station, whatever. And disembarks and goes home.
And you should I should I reveal all of the back story secrets since this is all over? That's up to you. You guys care about that? I mean, I'm interested in your secrets.
But I'm also interested in it, like sounding like a story. I guess I want to know how to how to how to tell the story like what you fail to include. Yeah, include include your secrets unless you don't want to, please. Laster goes home and talks to their parents and you know, they're like, why did you run away?
It was not that serious. Like we were mad, but you do all kinds of upsetting silly things that are, you know, immature, unbecoming and we've never sent you away before. Why would you run away from us? And Felicia tells them this fantastical journey that they've been on.
And at the end of it, they pull out the book that they got at a Jerome's and I remember it, Jerome's nice place to rest eat and shop. Is that it? But pretty close. And says, so what can you to tell me about this?
Their parents tell them, I guess, a long story about how the Minutars used to have like a coalition of nations that were considered theirs. I mean, it wasn't like, you know, just a minute. It wasn't like a weird like racial thing, but they controlled their, you know, the clans and the tribes united. And one day, because they're over time, their pride kind of got to them and they let things slip the other nations that they've ordered on decided they didn't want to need them around anymore.
And overthrew them and the Minutars were sort of scattered to the rest of the continents. But there's a coming of age right where, you know, every Minutar is supposed to read and transcribe this book, the fall of the Minutar. And at the back, they put, they transcribed sort of a abbreviated family history. And then they add, you know, whatever their own part of that is at the end, police was dad has never put police through this because police are such a hothead that they heard that their dad has always worried they would run off and join some kind of extremist group that wants to take back these lands.
And their dad has lost a lot of friends and family to these kind of fruitless endeavors to reclaim lands. That's sort of when, because police are pointing out that Iron Hoof is not doesn't seem to be a name in their book. Their place was family name is actually Redhorn. Their parents came from further up north.
I think it was Fang City, we decided that was called Fang. Yeah, there's a city called Fang City. Yeah, Fang City, basically, the place was father because he married their mother married into a powerful crime family and was an arena fighter. And essentially, through a fight made a bunch of money, but then had to book it out of town because the next day was another family overthrew their mom's family.
And they changed their names and came here to chance a guy with all of their money. And I think that's about it. That's kind of the short version of it. Okay, so that's your family history.
What does your future look like? Halaystra is finally undertaking their coming of age, right? And they are returning to their training with Dermok, the monk who taught them the way of the drunken master. And for now, at least, police is going to focus on their athletic career and just sort of helping the family maybe lay low, not raise too much attention by doing things like, you know, mixing up all the goat herds at the moon into one big herd and, you know, having a head running contest with them.
Definitely, though, definitely going to check on Rod as my goat friend with blue ribbons tied up on his horns. And yeah, I mean, that's for now what police was going to do is just focus on their their athletic career as sort of an exhibition and competition fighter with Dermok and focus on, you know, their family. Okay, well, let's move back over to the Bells Run people who would like to tell me what they're going to be doing in the future first. I will call on people if I have to.
Well, everywhere I have all sorts of thoughts, I just don't want to jump to be the first person. No, you go. Okay. Honestly, my life is just going to get back on the track that it originally was.
I've obviously learned a lot since leaving, but a big part of being a druid here is about like, land management and stuff like that. So I go back to being Estherwind's apprentice and learning about that kind of thing. And I basically stay on track to become an important steward of the land here and work towards being a good mediator of disputes, things like that. I help through, like, as we resettle in other real plane, getting the land back in order and healthy and helping the farms get going at the proper level with the right seasonal structure and everything like that.
And that's about it. All right. Okay. Well, this shouldn't come as a surprise, but I really want to get back on the road again.
As I'll pay my due diligence, I'll have breakfast once or twice with my mom. But it's pretty soon. After first checking in with Professor Morentally, talking to him about the cash he's found and what his plans are, I'm going to do what I need to do to get back to the Feywild. Once once I'm able to do that, if that means going back into the forest or, you know, doing the necessary research to find the spell to open up a portal of my own, do the work to get back there and follow the instructions to track down the merchant.
However, that goes, my next move would be to make my way back to Markon and and have a little mini reunion there. Let him know everything that's happened since we last saw each other and and then take a moment and say, I'm never, I would never take you away from your home. I know what that's like. But maybe you could just take a little trip because I really want you to see my mom.
And hopefully he'll be willing to take a little trip with me back to Bell's run so I can introduce him. Very nice. The Ichabod and Markon have been tricers every Tuesday. We went over the next few days, spends a lot of time with his family just, you know, enjoying his time with guys, he's there and all the children in his family and just enjoys re acclimating to his normal life going back out of the fields and planting his gardens, the planning his crops and that quiet work just enjoys being back with the community.
And then into the future, he'll, you know, a year later have more children will pop up in the clan. This time actually his own. He'd do his best to stay in contact with the druids and try to help like be aware of everything that's a round of Bell's run and always offer that, Hey, if there's something that we need taken care of, I can I can help just, you know, if it's in the area, he's not willing to do like, you know, five week long sojourns, but anything close by that's causing a problem where everyone else is farmed, he'll go take care of, just kind of become Bell's run Bell's run local guardian as best he can, perhaps like a helpful envoy to nearby towns now that we're actually in a real world, real world help build spells run into, you know, a place for everyone. But yeah, that's it.
One day, a woman comes up and knocks on your door and she is wearing normal modern clothes and does not have wings, but you recognize her anyway. Oh, Heather. And this is Heather. Yeah.
Oh, hi, Waylin. Absolutely. Hello, may I come in to open the door and stand aside and start to call everyone around. Hey, this is um, this is Heather.
She's Saint Michelle's daughter. And I answer here. Weird things happened. Yeah.
Um, well, then here, then they'll start like passing over and like take the code and get her something to you like everyone else. Very nice to meet you all. I just came by to say thank you. I don't necessarily feel like I've made up for my past, but your help and faith in me was very much appreciated.
And it's so nice to be in my family's good graces. Any plans? Oh, help out here as I can. That's like a spare.
Well, keep watching. Oh, you that gets to know your great, great, great, great, however many grandchildren. How many people actually get to do that? Oh, wait, else.
Okay, that's right. I visit on occasion might be good, but I will probably usually stay hidden. Cool. But I'm always watching out for you.
And it's been a while and I've been waiting. So maybe try to spread those wings out sometime. Oh, she'll smile. Take my friend and leave.
Oh, well, she's gone. Like that evening. I'll like go stand out in the field and try to suck wings. The wings come out.
They are not bony. They are made of pure light. If you would like to, you can fly. Fuck, yeah.
I'll take a victory lap around the town. As everyone hears a slap echoing all around town, probably. The next day, the whole town is talking about it and asking Wayland's family, but not Wayland about the weird flying Wayland and the last to stay quietly to himself and let them deal with it. And this is the end of our first campaign.
Thank you so much for listening, whether you've been with us from the beginning or joined somewhere along the way. This is the first campaign that Hazel has ever actually completed. And it felt like a huge accomplishment for all of us to make ourselves cry about these characters that we let live in our heads for so long. I cut out so many sniffles in this one you wouldn't believe.
Coming up next, Max ran a one shot of their honey heist hack high, high hopes in the kitchen, which is all about being house cats trying to steal the holiday roast chicken. After that, we're working on a new long campaign for you. It's also run by Max and is set on the other side of this continent, not too long after the events surrounding Bell's run. It's called the Forgotten Army.
I don't know much about the campaign yet, but holy fuck, I am excited for you all to meet our characters. That'll be soon next week if we hear back from the artists by then. This show is a production of the Land of Shell made possible through the support of our wonderful patrons. We couldn't do it without you seriously.
Your support is what stopped me from just letting this project flounder after 2020. I hope we'll see you all soon. It might be really good to end the campaign if you have any ideas on a scene with Heather. Oh, yeah.
So not a dream. Oh, shit. Just shows up. Yeah.
Everybody knows.
