- **Coronation and Duke Ravenguard** [24:43] — Gortash is crowned Archduke, and Duke Ravenguard is revealed to be tadpoled, under Gortash's control.
- **Probing Ravenguard's Mind** [27:53] — The party uses illithid powers to probe Ravenguard's mind, finding Florrick imprisoned in Wyrms Rock.
- **Mizora's Offer** [31:02] — Mizora hints at a way to save Ravenguard, but it involves Wyll's pact.
- **Prison Break for Florrick** [33:32] — The party sneaks into the prison, uses Greater Invisibility and dash actions to reach Florrick's cell undetected.
- **Persuading Florrick** [45:45] — The player persuades Florrick to leave her cell, promising to rescue her and fight against Gortash.
- **Florrick's Promise** [54:37] — Florrick agrees to gather allies in the upper city to help take back the streets once the Steel Watchers are dealt with.
- **Investigating the Doppelganger** [56:43] — Back at camp, the player checks all companions for signs of being a doppelganger but finds nothing conclusive.
- **Mizora's Sisters of Justice** [59:06] — Mizora arrives with the Sisters of Justice, devil lawyers, to enforce a new contract for Wyll.
- **Wyll's Choice** [01:01:30] — Mizora presents two options: Wyll's soul for his father's safety, or break the pact and let his father die.
- **Breaking the Pact** [01:04:42] — The player convinces Wyll to break the pact, freeing him from Mizora but potentially condemning his father.
- **Wyll's Mourning** [01:08:41] — Wyll mourns his father's likely death but resolves to make the Ravenguard name count for something.

### Conclusion

The episode ends with Wyll freed from his pact but facing the likely death of his father, while the party must deal with a doppelganger in camp and prepare for the final confrontation with Gortash and Orin.

## Transcript

This is many a true nerd and welcome back to Boulders Gate 3. Well, last time we infiltrated to Worms Rock Fortress. That there's the good news. The bad news
is Gautach very much knows we did it. He could basically, you know, see us, talk to us, etc., etc., through every single Steel Watcher and does a cocking large number of Steel Watchers. And yes, in a deeply concerning power move, Gautash is
not hiding away at the top of his doom fortress or something. He said, "Hey, come to the audience chamber. Let's have a nice chat, you and I." Suggesting he's probably several steps ahead of us. Before we do that though, for some
reason, Mazzor is also floating around. So, uh, okay. Probably best we put together an appropriate team before we step inside this room cuz, yeah, I feel like we're kind of done with a Star for the time being. And we found the vampire
ths he was after. So, yes, Will, you can come along instead. And on top of the Mora business, right? Will's more familiar with Bouldersgate politics than anyone else in the party. So, yes, Grand Juke Stalem's been murdered.
about her. &gt;&gt; I met her twice. The first time I was a boy of seven or eight at a banquet in the Flaming Fists honor. One look and I
was smitten. Chestnut hair that flowed behind her like willow fronds as she floated from one room to the next as if carried by clouds. The second time, Stelmine was different. Even with the aid of a cane, each step
she took was a struggle. Every word she spoke took great physical effort. A stroke victim, I asked father later. No, he said, a stroke survivor.
&gt;&gt; You sense uncertainty in Will's voice. He questions his father's explanation. Okay, potentially the summing of more here and I'd like to know the full story before we walk into Yeah. some complicated boulders gate politics here.
complicated boulders gate politics here. Well, so okay. 15 a DC. A bit on the tricky side, but nothing I shouldn't be able to handle. Yeah, absolutely no problem at all. Something's always gnawed at me. At the banquet, Stelmain
didn't seem to look at us, but through us. But that second time, her gaze never us. But that second time, her gaze never left me. It was still, sharp, and unyielding. It could just be my imagination. But I always felt that it
was more than a stroke that had changed her. What though? I couldn't say. &gt;&gt; I was about to say she might have been, yeah, one of the first people who was
tadpoled. But if she was tadpoled, why would the cult of the absolute murder her? But then again, they didn't. It was the barless conspiracy that killed her. Potentially, yeah, harming the cult of the absolute in a way. So,
okay. It's hard to say what's going on here. Maybe when we get to Yeah. the sight of the murder, we can investigate a bit further. Right. And beyond that, we're the Will and Carlac present because Carlac definitely feels like
short to be present for this. Yeah, I'm the only spellcaster. So Jihira, you have a bit of a run out on this occasion. And right before we go, one
quick thing for Will here. Number one, I need to figure out what his weapon's going to be going forward because the Infernal Rapure is nice for the summon it provides. But yeah, a base damage of only 1d8 is not spectacular. We could of
course go back over to the blood of Lethander, which is only 1d6. However, that does come with sunbeam. That's a really bloody good spell. And the plus three weapon enchantment means, yeah, you're going to be hitting with
Alternatively, yeah, charge bound Warhammer. We got this in act two. So that's yeah, 1 d8 to onehanded. But on top of that, that
functionally has a plus two. Given a favorite weapon is a plus one, weapon enchantment is another plus one. And galvanic currents means another d6 of lightning damage. And lightning damage is really good. And finally, Kather's
Warhammer that yes, a small magma method managed to knock out of his hand somehow managed to knock out of his hand somehow or another. So yeah, once again a 1d8 or another. So yeah, once again a 1d8 plus 1d4 psychic and only a plus one. So
honestly that feels yeah, objectively weaker than a chargebound Warhammer, assuming I'm going to be using that as a packed weapon, which I will be doing. So go on then, we'll give the chargebound Warhammer a go cuz yeah, I've now bound
that meaning it should be doing a lot of bloody damage. And then do not forget Will also has to level up. So, pretty boring level there. Got it. So, yeah,
the first time we leveled you up, we just made you tough cuz your job is to just made you tough cuz your job is to be Yeah. very tanky, etc., etc. And yeah, if you're currently at level 10, this is presumably going to be the last
defeat you ever get. So, right, we need to pick carefully here. Ability score improvement is never going to be bad cuz yeah, you now use charisma for everything. So, Charisma 19, that would be a good nice safe option. And I don't
hate savage attacker either because yeah, presumably paladins roll a large number of dice like you know the initial damage dice, the dice for the various smites, etc., etc. So, every single one of those having advantage for damage if
you will. That's pretty good, too. But that's damage and not accuracy. No, I'm just going to take charisma up to 19 and hopefully find a way of boosting. Yeah,
that to 20 down the line. There is one question remaining though, which is question remaining though, which is Yeah. Do I want to rest now? Because Brian's a bit wounded. Carlac's not doing great.
not doing great. But if I long rest, I lose rapture and a But if I long rest, I lose rapture and a bonus D6 to literally everything. It's pretty powerful, which makes me think, yeah, we should
which makes me think, yeah, we should probably go and visit Gautach as we are because we do not necessarily want to like, you know, just start stabbing him immediately. I'm guessing if that was an option, he wouldn't be inviting us to
Tay. Katherine was literally unkillable the first time we met him. I'm guessing Gort has got something similar going on. And also, he's surrounded by steel watchers. And we now know there's a factory somewhere that produces our
forementioned steel watches. And we've got a bomb that we could use to blow up that factory, which I guess stops more steel watches being produced. But let's work under the assumption that yes, maybe, just maybe, blowing up the
factory will also stop the existing steel watches. Okay? like maybe there's some sort of a psychic network going on and that would break it. But yeah, we're just gonna go in. We're gonna have a nice chat. And remember, plan A is turn
Orin and Gortach against each other. Like Gorin is clearly already plotting against Gautach. If we could go and stitch to him about that and maybe get Barless doppelgangers to be fighting a steel watches in the streets, that would
steel watches in the streets, that would be ideal. So yeah, turn them against each other. That's the plan. Just in case stuff gets nasty, by the way. Yes. Well, you just like, you know, give Carlac a little bit of healing here. So,
I'm pretty sure most of her current damage is just from me being attacked by dinosaurs that she was just sort of absorbing through time and space. Also, please heal up Brian. Brian was a big damn hero on Dinosaur Island, okay? He
deserves to be healed up, too. Oh, and that is true. Sorry, I forgot about this. Mizora, let's speak to her first because it's possible. Yeah, she might have something to add to the equation that changes the arithmetic of how we
want to approach Orin and Gortach. &gt;&gt; If it isn't little Will, straight to your handler. And I didn't even have to whistle. &gt;&gt; Mizora, I've had enough. You owe your life to me. Time to end the pact.
life to me. Time to end the pact. Feeling cheeky, are we? Most unbecoming. Heard about your father? The absolute puppet. A damned travesty if you ask me.
He's upstairs in Worms Rock ordaining Gortach as Arch Duke. A splendid party, Gortach as Arch Duke. A splendid party, I hear. Perfect for crashing. Go on up. We'll talk after. &gt;&gt; Okay. She doesn't want to talk until
afterwards. But she did mention a crashing the party suggesting Oh, are things about to go a bit, you know, stabby? I'm concerned there's about to be a lot of stabbing. And if
so, there's a lot of people and robots on the way back out again. Every single one of these bastards has so so much health and also a lot of bloody abilities. Okay, let's just mosy upstairs and see what happens. But if we
can avoid it, as I say, we are trying to come up with a better solution than just stab everybody if at all possible. I feel like yeah, playing Orin and Gort off against each other. That's got to be the plague. Especially given Oh dear,
there's um at least six deer watchers in here and a lot of other people too. Yep, there's some guards. Only level eight or there's some guards. Only level eight or so, but even so, right, that's uh that
could be an issue. Oh, and two more at the end as well. So, right, there's like the end as well. So, right, there's like eight steel watchers in the room. Okay. So, I feel like we might want to go and blow up the factory to deal with
them before we actually like, you know, get involved in any local trouble. Oh, don't forget the fist. By the way, there's also level 10 a fist dosed about. And based on what we know, that entire organization has probably been
entire organization has probably been flipping a tadpole. So, okay, we might want to like rig the deck a bit more in our favor before we do anything stabby. And speak of the devil. There we go.
There we go. The tadpole juke and gach only level The tadpole juke and gach only level nine fascinatingly, but even so, that's a lot of bloody health. Kins people, Bulorans, and dearest Duke Ravenguard,
thank you for joining me on this exceptional day. It's him, Gortach. This is it. I can practically taste his
blood from here. &gt;&gt; My father's here, Carlac. Cool your fires. He must not come to harm. Okay, so Carlanker wants to just start stabbing, which you know makes sense,
but Will does have a point, too, because a raven guards would presumably under the control of the tadpole fight back. And yes, Will doesn't really want that to happen. So, okay.
Hopefully that argument is enough to get Carlac to stand down and not immediately start smashing. And just to be clear, we will do some smashing. Carlac, I swear
to you, by the end of this, Orin dead. Gortach dead. You will be there. You could get the killing blow. But not right now because yes, we are trying to right now because yes, we are trying to save Will's dad as well. Fine, I'll wait
save Will's dad as well. Fine, I'll wait for now. But that prick Gortach's going to pay. &gt;&gt; A moment, please, my friends. An old acquaintance has come to pay her respects.
Please, Carlac, come and say a proper hello. BEAT UP YOUR &gt;&gt; AH, HOW I've missed your colorful turns
of phrase. We must catch up just as soon as I've had words with your little friend. As for you, I understand congratulations are in order. Thor's defeat hasn't gone unnoticed.
unnoticed. You're known for who you are and for that Nether Stone that you carry. The quakes are a clear warning. If nobody steps in soon, it'll free itself from the authority of the crown. I expect
it'll start with turning the sword coasts infected. You among them. That prism of yours won't last indefinitely. Next, the grand design. The mind flare empire reborn. If we're lucky, we'll become slaves.
become slaves. If we're unlucky, well, not the most thrilling of prospects, but it's a fate that can be avoided. If you and I come to an understanding, together we can still restore authority
over the brain. &gt;&gt; Of course, Gourd Hash always did have an eye for opportunity. &gt;&gt; So, okay, &gt;&gt; So, okay, I believe he's yapp roughly telling the
truth here because it matches up with what we've heard previously. Something's going on with the brain. It's breaking loose. The earthquakes are a sign of that. And potentially, yeah, if we could get all of the Nether Stones
if we could get all of the Nether Stones together, we could stop it. Or rather, we could control it. I'm guessing if Aarium were here, he'd be nodding along furiously right now, cuz that's precisely what he wants to do. But no,
precisely what he wants to do. But no, no, no, no. We need to kill it. Okay, that's the plan right now anyway. So, yeah, bare minimum. You might know better than anybody. Why is the crown failing?
&gt;&gt; It's not. But it will not follow new orders unless the Nether Stones are united to give the command. When it finishes executing its current orders, it will be free to do as it wishes. That will be bad for everyone.
&gt;&gt; The Crown's magic turned the brain into something the world has never seen. A something the world has never seen. A nether brain. Its power is immense. Once we'll ever be able to bring it under control again.
&gt;&gt; Okay, once again, I think he's probably telling something pretty close to the So, okay, let's hear about a potential
let's hear about a potential understanding because once again, you versus Orin, that's what I'm looking to engineer here. &gt;&gt; There's an old wisdom. A brittle alliance can never be mended. It can
only break. With Kather gone, Orin proved treacherous. Bal's chosen wants the Nether Stones for herself. She only cares for blood, and your blood and mine are of particular interest to her.
&gt;&gt; And okay, he's aware of Orin's potential conspiracy, too. Just out of interest, how would you react if I was to, you know, pretend I alliance with Orin? &gt;&gt; You've met her assassins. Efficient
killers by all accounts. I know you survived previous encounters, but she won't relent. Orin changes shape faster than you and I change clothes. You know, she's tricked you before. She's targeted me as well.
I'm well protected, but she's extremely good at what she does. If Orin obtains all three Netherstones, she'll plunge the coast into chaos and paint the city the coast into chaos and paint the city in blood. I can't let that happen. I
want to lead this city to glory, not scorches earth. scorches earth. &gt;&gt; Okay, I do agree that Orin will be the worst of various evils floating around right now. She definitely shouldn't be
allowed to win. But okay, you seriously want me to believe you mean no harm to Well, then again, he might potentially mean no harm to this city as long as he could control it and a ruthlessly in a force as well.
But yeah, based on the notes we've seen previously, this brain thingy, if it could be properly controlled, we're talking, you know, full continent or global domination. Assuming Fyun's a globe. Is the world a globe in Fyun?
we're on planets in this universe. &gt;&gt; I'd like to propose a pact, a divine oath sworn upon spirit and flesh. I do no harm to you, nor you to me.
Furthermore, you'll have nothing to fear from my steel watch. While our pact stands, Thor's stone is yours to keep. When you slay Orin and take her stone, you bring it here. So, the three are united once again.
united once again. Together we rule Fyun as kings. No, more Together we rule Fyun as kings. No, more than kings. Gods. We rule as the absolute. &gt;&gt; And my father.
&gt;&gt; Your father will do whatever you command him to. Like any other subject in our What do you say? &gt;&gt; Shall we be allies? &gt;&gt; I can detect no deceit. This alliance could serve us well.
This alliance could serve us well. And if it does not, well, we need not And if it does not, well, we need not honor it.
&gt;&gt; Okay, what we need to do is you know what? I don't object to just saying I'll think about it without like swearing or anything. Car is looking very bloody annoyed in the background.
very bloody annoyed in the background. Yeah, let's use some insight here. See what we can figure out. This is why I wanted that rap chart. So, yeah, toss in wanted that rap chart. So, yeah, toss in some guidance. This should be fairly
doable. Yeah, nice and easy. &gt;&gt; Gort's eyes blink in a consistent rhythm. He stands calmly, confidently. He fully intends to share his kingdom with you. I am not sure I believe that given he's literally signing me up right
now to, you know, go and betray and murder Orin and he was perfectly content with the fact I killed Catherank. Like, I don't think this guy is trustworthy, are you? And you know what? I could specifically call him out on that. It
kind of seems like none of you could be trusted. Like, every single one of you &gt;&gt; So, Kethrich was ready to betray our alliance, too. I can't say it comes as a surprise, but you should know this. I initiated this plot. I brought Kthri and
Orin together to create the absolute. They knew this would only work if we They knew this would only work if we stood united and coordinated our powers. Their ambition blinded them to reason.
I don't suffer the same affliction. In short, you can trust me. &gt;&gt; Sorry. Did he just claim that he's not blinded by ambition when you know two minutes ago he was saying don't worry we'll just rule this city as gods in a
world where everyone has to do everything we say cuz I feel like that's you know maybe a little bit on the ambitious and also banana side gach so okay I do not want to make a promise
okay how about I just say I'll think about it please don't set the steel watches on me And yeah, I do want to go and kill Orin anyway. And while we're doing that, we can investigate taking out the Steel Watchers.
&gt;&gt; Perhaps a demonstration of why you need my help will motivate you to make the right decision. Your camp is compromised. One among you is an impostor, a faceless.
faceless. Who? I can't say. I'd suggest a thorough investigation. You'll find I speak the truth. A doppelganger in our camp. &gt;&gt; That sounds all too believable.
&gt;&gt; The faceless in your camp is like a knife at your throat. Remove it quickly or any alliance between us would be exceedingly short-lived. &gt;&gt; It's that bloody girl. That bloody girl. I knew there was something odd about
that bloody girl and her slightly nervous cat. So, uh, right. Go back to nervous cat. So, uh, right. Go back to camp and murder the child. Got it. and [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Let's get his take on what the plan was because it sounded like it was,
stuff. &gt;&gt; First, Orin the Red bloody dagger of Bal causes panic in the streets through killings in the absolute name. Next, the threat of the absolute monstrous armies formed by Merkel's general, Kather.
In such circumstances, people crave strong leaders. Leaders that bring law, strong leaders. Leaders that bring law, order, and protection. Leaders like me, Bane's unyielding hand, author of justice.
You are soon to witness the people of Bouldersgate granting me complete power over them. All out of fear of the absolute. Next, I we will declare curfew
and begin infecting the masses. Our subjects will hear the voice of their absolute god. The faithful will do anything in the name of their god. &gt;&gt; Okay, so that doesn't sound good in many ways.
so that doesn't sound good in many ways. And yeah, if flipping a gale was here, crown. &gt;&gt; Powerful connections. Let's leave it at that. &gt;&gt; So, okay, he's being a bit cagey on that
topic. And can I just let you know leave at this point on an understanding that for the time being at least we're just not going to attempt to murder each other &gt;&gt; soon. First come and be witness as I
make history the first arch duke of Boulders's Gate. &gt;&gt; And fine I suppose we'll stay in watch if only to keep half an eye on Will's dads. You will follow me and you will show due respect.
dearest Raven Guard, I will heed your call. I will heed your call. A new chapter begins.
swearest thou by Bdderin's blade to defend the citizens of Bouldersgate from defend the citizens of Bouldersgate from enemies within and without? enemies within and without? I swear.
Swearest thou true faith and feelalty to the same by word, deed, and decree, so that none may suffer. &gt;&gt; I swear. &gt;&gt; Gather guests. Grant ye consent.
&gt;&gt; I'm just going to say nothing. Okay, I'm not saying yes. &gt;&gt; Envash, the council appoints you, Arch Duke of the council appoints you, Arch Duke of Boulders's Gate.
ready. Let its blade fall on any who would diminish our city. And you, honored guest, will find me in my office above when you return. Do not come
empty-handed." &gt;&gt; And there we go. We've now got him, by the sounds of it, separated from Will's dad. Speaking of which, yes. So, you actually like, you know, capable of speaking to
well or whatnot or are you completely under the control of Gautach now? Oh, before that though, oh dear. I think Carlike might be a bit um annoyed. Carlike might be a bit um annoyed. &gt;&gt; So, there you have it. Lord Envash in
all his glory. What did you make of him? &gt;&gt; He's a slimy bastard and we're going to cocking and murder him. Not if I get to him first. How could all these people cheer for him like that? Can't they see
what a chair he is? &gt;&gt; I mean, he did rig the deck pretty well, Carlac. You know, the whole fake army, bless murders, etc., etc. He created one a hell of a crisis that gave him an excuse to achieve this level of
political power. &gt;&gt; I guess I didn't notice till it was too late, either. I wish this city, the people running it, were smarter than me. Gort isn't their salvation. He's the monster at the gate.
&gt;&gt; So, okay, bare minimum. She's not yelling at me. But yes, Raven Guard. We need to uh have a chat though, just out of interest.
sheet that tells you anything about Yeah, you being tadpoled. Not that I can &gt;&gt; Truest of souls, bathed in her light. &gt;&gt; There is a fleeting connection. Your
&gt;&gt; There is a fleeting connection. Your parasite communes with his, then falls &gt;&gt; Father, my dearest boy, the hells have touched my dearest boy, the hells have touched you, but you've come to me just as Gort
said you would. A true soul, no less. Father and son, unstoppable generals. You and your allies will usher in a new
dawn. Okay. I feel like potentially Yeah, he's not really Will's dad anymore. He's kind of gone. Whether we can restore him, though, that's another question. Yes, indeed. Floric sent me to help you
back in act two. &gt;&gt; Help me? Ah, the Black Widow caught you in her web. Floric chose shadow over light. Her betrayal burned deeper than the fires of a verest. She's been punished for her
lies. Don't let her get to you. &gt;&gt; Punished. Gods. Don't want to imagine what that find her. &gt;&gt; Right. So Flora could beat me to the
&gt;&gt; Right. So Flora could beat me to the city and you've potentially yeah tossed her in jail or something. Let's see if maybe just a maybe we can figure out what's going on without having to, you know, dig into the whole illit business.
know, dig into the whole illit business. &gt;&gt; I stilled her tongue. That's the end of &gt;&gt; Right. Nothing more we can learn from you. Into his brain we go then. So yeah, anything but a wana should do very nicely here. 16. Spot on.
&gt;&gt; Within Ravenguard's memories, you find Council of Floric. She is confined in a cell right here in Worms Rock. &gt;&gt; The sun rises. True soul. Are you ready? &gt;&gt; So, okay. Absolute time has come. No,
&gt;&gt; So, okay. Absolute time has come. No, no, no, no. I'm just going to say yes. guy I was expecting. &gt;&gt; What is a hero if not an actor for the greater good? Fyun suffers in darkness. Tear has
Fyun suffers in darkness. Tear has abandoned us. Helm's eye has strayed. But Boulders Gate will soon burn bright, a beacon to light the heavens. Gortage and I will ignite the final spark. And that true soul is the greatest of goods.
&gt;&gt; No, this isn't him. This is the tadpole talking. &gt;&gt; For a brief moment, uncertainty clouds his mind, then dissipates. The astral prism vibrates in Concord. &gt;&gt; What nonsense is this? He
&gt;&gt; The prism quivers once more. Raven Guard falters. As I said, Boulders Gate will falters. As I said, Boulders Gate will ascend. Terrill's first and only grand city. &gt;&gt; Okay,
he's in there somewhere. But the problem is, am I allowed to actually use these powers a second time a day? I thought it was only once per long rests. And okay, it seems to be allowed for
And okay, it seems to be allowed for now. So yeah, once again, just anything but a one. Sue is fine. &gt;&gt; First comes a vision of terror. The city of Boulders's Gate taken by Lithids. But
of Boulders's Gate taken by Lithids. But beyond the terror, there is hope. You see a beaming Raven Guard presiding over the sunlit city, applauded by the the sunlit city, applauded by the people. A people at peace. The true
Raven Guard lurks somewhere in this infected mind. Seeking freedom, seeking victory. &gt;&gt; Have we finished then? &gt;&gt; Okay, I think he's still in there. Potentially, we can get him back. And
to say? &gt;&gt; Incredible to hear my father's voice speak those words like a stranger wrapped in his flesh. But there's still a glimmer of him in there calling for release.
I feel it. I know it. I won't let the absolute keep him. This is my pledge. &gt;&gt; So, okay, we need to get him back. Otherwise, Will's going to be very bloody annoyed at us. Oh, and speaking of which, yes, Mizora did want to speak
to us on the way out as well. &gt;&gt; What did I tell you? A momentous occasion. I'm sure you agree. &gt;&gt; I've had enough, Mizora. What do you want? &gt;&gt; Your attention, little pup. nothing more
and you'll be glad to give it. &gt;&gt; You see, Gortach has heard your father relocated. &gt;&gt; Okay, he served his purpose. Now,
presumably, he's going to be shuffled off to one side until he's needed again. &gt;&gt; I'm just an impartial observer. This is Gaut's game. A murderous one, the way I
hear it. &gt;&gt; [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Your dad's good as dead, pup. &gt;&gt; [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] Your dad's good as dead, pup. And to think there's no way to save him.
&gt;&gt; Or is there? &gt;&gt; You know something? &gt;&gt; I know enough. I'll be in your camp if you want to work something out. &gt;&gt; Oh dear. I don't think she's giving up
&gt;&gt; Oh dear. I don't think she's giving up on a will's contract that easily. So, okay. She's going to try and talk you into signing something you know. Just like we saw with Jurg and Raphael back in the day.
&gt;&gt; Of course she'd stick her infernal nose where it doesn't belong. Of course she's dreamt up some rezible scheme by all the hounds of the hells. What is she &gt;&gt; Well, she's planning to get you to resign before your contract runs out.
Well, it's pretty bloody obvious. So, okay, that done. Back outside. They okay, that done. Back outside. They &gt;&gt; question is yeah what's our next move because Gaut is up top like he was saying but potentially Florics down
below in the prison so okay I think I know where to go here it was yeah this way past the armory there was some steps leading down presumably I should be
allowed to go this way given he was just saying the steel watchers won't cause trouble for you though I cannot but notice This area is marked in reds. I think that just means you can't go to camp though.
camp though. But yeah, there's one guard here and they're asleep. And also the prison is right. right. Everybody get down. We need to do a
Everybody get down. We need to do a prison break. And we need to do it very quietly because I don't want to flippy declare war on Gautach straight away. declare war on Gautach straight away. Step one, read the prison log here. No
prisoner should be released from their cell or from Worms Rock proper without my explicit consent. Presume every detainee is an absolute spy until they can provide substantial evidence to the contrary. So right spoon charged with
contrary. So right spoon charged with indecent exposure. Not relevant to me. indecent exposure. Not relevant to me. Auto art drunk and disorderly. Floric Auto art drunk and disorderly. Floric awaiting execution. Right. And while I'm
thinking about it, everyone else just chat. Fall back over here. If you can turn off the lights. Good. Let's get you guys in darkness to
minimize the chances of you being spotted. Brian, you stay with them. Arya is going in alone though. Actually, that does make me think if we just want to, you know, sneak in, get the lay of the land, etc., etc. Yeah, my sneak is not
that great all things considered. So, step outside for a second and let's step outside for a second and let's trade out Shadow Heart for Gail. And here we go. As a wizard, we could give him basically anything we need. So
invisibility which turns a creature invisible. So only 10 turns though. That's something to keep in mind. Then a greater invisibility. Hang on. What's the difference between
those two? Ah, hang on. So greater invisibility. Yes, you can actually attack but potentially maintain your invisibility in the event you can then pass a stealth check. Basic invisibility, that's not an option. You
are just invisible until you attack, then you're not. So, okay, I think I know what we need to do here. Gail is now ready to render someone completely now ready to render someone completely invisible for 10 turns. And arguably the
best person to do a prison break is Aarium because one he's got plenty of stealth just in case the invisibility fails, but on top of that he's got fails, but on top of that he's got access to yes dash thanks to his regular
access to yes dash thanks to his regular action and then two more dashes via bonus action. So in a single round he can cover a slightly ludicrous amount of territory. So back to where we were. Let's figure this out here because this
Let's figure this out here because this door is currently locked. Check. So, step one, we need to open it because I'm pretty sure, yeah, if you interact with items, that breaks invisibility. Presumably that includes lockpicking.
So, step one, we just need to open this door before we go invisible. And blime me, that is a nasty lock. But yeah, we do have a basically Oh yeah, no trouble at all. 50/50 chance we got lucky. So yeah,
crack you open and have a look. So yeah, what's ahead? off to one side. Off to one side. Off to one side, please. Thank you.
Yeah, we just need to figure out to where we want to go here. Nothing over on this side. A wander over to the right and you're just wandering back and forth. Yeah, looks like you go
down there, then come back in this direction. So, just after you pass to direction. So, just after you pass to this corner, that might be the moment to Yeah. activate invisibility and then just do a triple dash in order to cover
the entire bloody distance. Now, on top of that, yeah, I can see a little bit of that, yeah, I can see a little bit further down the line here. Three guards in there. Need to get past them, but they're not looking out the
them, but they're not looking out the door as long as we stay sneaking. Because I do see a bunch of cells here. But I'm not sure which one's hers. Looks
to me like, yeah, she might be down a one level in the, you know, elite imported prisoner subb. Possibly it's just yet this cell over here right at the end. Okay, the moment's almost here. You have just
walked around the corner. Make you invisible. And then as soon as that's invisible. And then as soon as that's happened, end turnbas. So you sir can now start moving. You are
well over there. And yeah, you're invisible for 10 turns. So using my movement, we are crouched right now. Yeah, we are crouched right now.
Nice and easy. &gt;&gt; Move over here. Nobody should see a thing. Activate dash. That is absolutely fine. That is
cooking. Okay, that was the wrong thing to do. Great. Good start. Burn a bonus action just to go back to cookie crouch mode. I was supposed to be going for
dash. That's acceptable. There's dashing. And there's Yes, cunning dash right there, too. So, right, put all of that together and we should be able to
that together and we should be able to walk to Yeah, here though. Oh, was I supposed to like do one dash move then another to refill up the movement far. Then again, you are invisible right now. So, don't worry about that. Just
end your turn. Everyone else ends their turn at toe and jam. In a perfect world, Gail, you need to, you know, actually get down on the ground, please. Back to
get down on the ground, please. Back to hidden. Lovely. Everyone else is hiding. So, yeah. Guards now walk. You're going Uh-oh. You're coming this way, but it Uh-oh. You're coming this way, but it doesn't matter presumably cuz the whole
point is you're invisible. So, yeah. So, yeah. &gt;&gt; Just head over here. Try not to push the wrong cocky button on this occasion. So yeah, dash gets me another 10 m. Lovely.
Then double dash as well. Yeah, we are looking absolutely fine here. And we can also now see who's where and potentially do a little bit of you know stealing on the way past and no
reason not to. So we are playing as a star right now. That feels reasonable. So, okay. Who's where? That's Otto art. We knew he
was here. He was mentioned in the book and presumably you're going to be There we go. There's Floric. Got her. So, right,
Floric. Got her. So, right, we now know where you are. we now know where you are. The problem is if I speak to you, The problem is if I speak to you, is that going to break my invisibility?
I think it would. So, the better option might be. Yeah. Finding somewhere to hide ready for when this guy comes around the corner. The point is we can definitely do one more dash here.
So yeah, possibly cracking open one of these doors and hiding inside might be good. Then again, this story is right here, but I need an action to do lockpicking. So, okay, I don't think in a single turn you're going to make it
into a position where you can see me. I'm still going to be too far away. This will break invisibility, but that's fine. And I can then just get in here, hide around the corner, and wait for you to wander off.
And I think that's probably for the better. So, okay. Just out of No, no, no, no. Just out of interest. Yeah. How tough is this door? I don't know until
I've got an action. All right. Fair enough. End the turn. Go back to enough. End the turn. Go back to everyone else. You all end your turns as well, please. Lovely. If we could just get in and out without anybody
realizing, that would be spot on. So, right, you're nowhere near to seeing me. So, okay, I think we should Yeah. Wait out you in the cell. It's only a 15. Yeah, if we can just get a five, that's fine. Eight
is a Okay, now is that going to break invisibility? just have to pass a stealth check and then it kind of doesn't matter.
So, just getting over here. In fact, you know what? Just for safety, shut myself know what? Just for safety, shut myself in. Get around the corner. And now we in. Get around the corner. And now we wait for you to leave. I've still got
wait for you to leave. I've still got seven turns of a greater invisibility. Question is, oh, could I get out, unlock your door, and could I get out, unlock your door, and get back in in time? I've got two bonus
actions. Yeah, you know what? I could do that. That's fine. &gt;&gt; Silent disgrace. &gt;&gt; Move over here. &gt;&gt; Move over here. Use dash number one.
Use dash number one. Crack open this door. And then don't open it just to be nice and invisible. Same deal again. Anything better than a Same deal again. Anything better than a five will be aok. Okay, 17 is a spot on.
So, right, that is the door unlocked. Stealth remains successful. Move away. So, your door's open and this door is open. Dash once more. Get in. Shut door, etc. Right, I'm
beginning to see why. Yes, the thief subclass has two bonus actions. It does help with the thieving. Absolutely. So, right, end the turn. And everyone else's turn, too. And now we just await for that guy to naf off. Okay, four turns of
greater invisibility remaining. He's got to the end. He's turned around. He's walking away, I reckon. Yeah, let him get a little bit further away before we go and speak to Floric in case, you know, speaking
causes me to stand up, draws attention, etc., etc. Okay, three turns to go. This etc., etc. Okay, three turns to go. This looks good to me. So, oh, you've only got 45 hit points, right? If need be, just murdering you could be a
relatively easy option. Like, I feel like a star could definitely make that like a star could definitely make that happen. So, right, crack open door. &gt;&gt; Let's go have a chat to Flor. I could just get her out of here then. Yeah,
back to my camp. So, okay. Still got two dashes remaining. Open door. Step inside. So, we're out of the way in case he like turns around or something. And yeah, don't pickpocket her. Stand up
And yeah, don't pickpocket her. Stand up and speak to her. I think you can stand up without using an action. So, okay, Floric, we're here to rescue you. &gt;&gt; You might as well lock the cell. You're too late.
It's over. &gt;&gt; And okay, you're not entirely wrong. Ravenard is infected and also Gautach is like king of the universe. But we can fix that. Okay, I promise. I really hope there's not like, you know, cooking
speech checks or whatever to persuade her to leave because yes, Aarian's not good at those. Anyway, let's take her very literally and say, "Don't worry. It could get you out, too."
&gt;&gt; You don't get it. We lost. I came seeking allies to our cause. Watchers spotted me, dragged me to older Watchers spotted me, dragged me to older Ravenguard's husk, empty as a stare,
a tadpole's puppet, nothing more. He spoken accusations, apostasy, conspiracy, sedition. I'll be executed in five dawns.
You might have unlocked my cell, but there's no escape from this place. &gt;&gt; I mean, she's not wrong, but um presumably we can't just walk her up the stairs and leave the way we came in. So,
route before coming and unlocking your cell. Yes. Okay. bare minimum. I might be able to persuade her because favorable beginnings does help out with favorable beginnings does help out with that a bit. This is only 10. And I do
have a bunch of inspiration we can use. have a bunch of inspiration we can use. Oh, we need better than a three. Aarium, I'm going to need you to do better than that. Okay. Like this shouldn't be too
difficult. Eight is fine. We can definitely That's okay. Favorable beginnings. Let's persuade her to get out of here. &gt;&gt; When the people need a miracle, you cannot wait for the gods to answer.
cannot wait for the gods to answer. Alder's words. I'd almost forgotten. &gt;&gt; No more sulking. I know what to do. Lead me from my cell. Escort me out of Worms Rock. I'll seek out my
connections. When the city streets shatter, you'll want their blades. shatter, you'll want their blades. All right, follow me though. Oh, you anyway because you don't have like, you know, three dashes or whatnot. We may
have to kill that one guy. Yes. So, okay. Bare minimum. Yeah. Let's just get everybody down. You down, too, if you be so kind at need everyone to be flipping so kind at need everyone to be flipping crouching presumably. Yeah. Time is now
passing. Everybody just get right up in the corner, please. Right up in the the corner, please. Right up in the corner. Don't pick up random fish. Just please like turn around. Uh-oh. Hang on. You're going Yep. You turned around the
right way. Good, good, good, good. Now, we just need to get you out of here potentially. Yeah, just straight up following this individual down the corridor in turnbased mode would be fine. And then we can get you into here
fine. And then we can get you into here out the way. Let him go back and then we could go over in this direction. Before we do that though, maybe someone else should go and like, you know, scout out that area just to actually check there
that area just to actually check there is a way out over there. Okay, Ara, this one's on you. Just sneak over here while he's taking care of that business. That room is locked, but that's fine.
And so yeah, just go into turnbased mode, head over here, and yeah, that way time is frozen while you're doing lockpicking. But yeah, you've got plenty of time before he comes back. So, okay,
following turn should do it. &gt;&gt; New movement means you can crack this open. It's 15, which I don't love, but that rapture is very bloody useful. So, yeah, this should be very doable. Spot on. Crack you open
store room. There's got to be another way out here There's got to be another way out here somewhere. Oh, this will do. A nice somewhere. Oh, this will do. A nice sturdy wall, you say? A sturdy wall
that's vulnerable to force damage. So Arya can most definitely deal with that. Meanwhile, you two stay over here and just let this guy
start to walk away. This turn he's going to There we go. He starts walking in this direction. So, okay, this turn you're going to follow him. And while you're doing that and just sneaking after this guy, Arya is
going to be on wall blasting duties because yeah, we have now got Eldrich Blast. So, just to basically fire everything we've got at that. And there everything we've got at that. And there we go. We've got a way out. Spot on.
Okay, now this is going much smoother than the last prison break we did. So, our escape is now ready. We just Yeah. Pause. You two let you walk away. And
then, yeah, you're just going to follow along. Go into the starting area. And once you're in the starting area from there, let him go back that way and then we just leave. All right. Absolutely perfect. Suit only silent assassin. But
perfect. Suit only silent assassin. But okay, this is the big moment right here. You're going around the corner towards the store room. So now my team activate [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] all of its special dash abilities and whatnot
&gt;&gt; stepping &gt;&gt; to get around the corner and [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] hid in this room. Oh and spot on. Apparently Floric is a mage. So she could just misty step forward even though she doesn't have all those bonus dashes. So
yeah, she just misty steps forward and she's already most of the way there. she's already most of the way there. back over to Starion who can use one more dash to get around the corner cuz once you're around the corner, you're
safe. So, right, we just stay here. No trouble. And now we just wait for you to trouble. And now we just wait for you to Yeah. come back this way and head back down the corridor. Oh, this is going to be absolutely perfect.
Speak of the devil. Around the corner you go. And now we could just leave. In fact, honestly, the entire team may as well come at this point. After all, literally everybody has a dash that they can use
even while creeping. So yeah, we can easily get everyone around the corner. So yeah, everybody dashes. Everyone just shuffles around the corner. You're not going to detect a thing. On we flippy go. So, okay, you're done over there.
back around the corner. And basically the entire team is already through the door. Spot on. So here we go. You're at door. Spot on. So here we go. You're at the bank. Shut the door. May as well
loot the prison while we're passing by. That's a rotten carrot. Not particularly That's a rotten carrot. Not particularly interesting. And right, poisons. So that's what happens to people who end up inside this prison. Still, the point is,
yeah, we're now safely inside this room. No one comes into. So, everybody back together. Leave turnbased mode. We can now just straight up stroll out of here.
You two, Brian, we're not leaving you behind. There we flippy go. Right. Sorry, forgot to uh reattach a Brian there. So, you just scuttle over the there. So, you just scuttle over the top, my friend. There we go. Job done.
top, my friend. There we go. Job done. Just hop over this little ravine. Hopefully Brian can make that jump. Yep. If Brian can make it, everybody can make it. And there we go. We've officially broken Floric out of prison.
&gt;&gt; I can't thank you enough &gt;&gt; for getting me out of that damned prison and for giving me courage when I'd all but run out. &gt;&gt; It's the least we could do. Your faith in this city should inspire us all.
there was a very easy backway into the prison I completely missed because that looks like Yes. A bit of uh worms crossing in the background. Amazing. And yeah, by the sounds of it, you're now
going to start pulling together some allies. So, okay, we take down the steel watchers. Once that's done, hoppers, gnomes, and whoever floric could pull together. They take back the streets. Lovely.
&gt;&gt; I will travel to the upper city. Find what allies I can. You won't fight the what allies I can. You won't fight the coming battle alone. As long as the city coming battle alone. As long as the city stands, I will stand with it. This is my
promise. &gt;&gt; Okay, I think we just made a very bloody &gt;&gt; Okay, I think we just made a very bloody powerful ally there. And uh hello, Sax. Yeah, looks like if I was to follow this path, that would take me back towards
Worms of Fortress or whatever. But there's a ladder here leading down towards a lovely beach with a chest on it and everything.
I'm a tiny bit suspicious of Yes, that chest just hanging out on a beach, but chest just hanging out on a beach, but hopefully it's not a flipping trap. &gt;&gt; I hope. &gt;&gt; And oh, it's a trap. There was
definitely a perception check there. All right, if we've got a trap, that's a okay. a star. You could just deal with that. So, okay. Bit of gold, some lovely jewels, and whatever else in terms of alchemy. But what's this precisely? I'm
pretty sure between the guy's arrows and the thunderbolt, she'll never survive to read this note. But just in case, I want to make sure you know what you did to you stuck in my leg when you turned to me in? That's why. Enjoy your escape
while you can. I'll be coming to haunt you. Right. A bit of Yes. Angry prison correspondence going on there. Yes. Presumably if I just follow this path around here. Here we go. We're back into
the bridge, but this time, yeah, the far side of the bridge by the fortress. And there's the draw bridge. So, right, I could have just hopped down here had I known about it. And if we just keep going in the same direction, right, this
is another way to get into the fortress. Got it. But let's not worry about that for now. There's one much more pressing thing I want to do before I forget about thing I want to do before I forget about it. Everybody bang to camp here because
it. Everybody bang to camp here because one of you is a bloody impostor. Rather, that's what Gaut says. But it would be very much in his interest to make me, you know, distrust my own allies.
you. &gt;&gt; I brought my own pairing knife. Now I just need some ingredients and I'm going to make something really good. I &gt;&gt; Yeah, I never trusted the fact that she brought her own knife. That struck me as
a sort of orange thing to do. Then again, it could be the bloody cats. But &gt;&gt; please don't look at me. would say if they didn't want to be, you know, closely examined because they were
actually a doppelganger. Okay, do the basics here. check everybody for like you know unusual things that would indicate a flipping being a doppelganger
in particular. Yeah, that whole mind readader ability. But so far everybody readader ability. But so far everybody looks really bloody normal. Okay, I've checked everybody, including all temporary visitors and also a scratch
and outback car, but just in case, and nobody is showing any outward signs in terms of their character sheet of being anything they shouldn't. I've been around speaking to everyone, and I can't
see any new dialogue options. They would let me, you know, quiz people, ask them answer to to figure out who the doppelganger is, etc., etc. So, okay. I think I know what we need to do. If there is a doppelganger in camp, then
presumably the time they're going to make their movies overnight when we're asleep. That's when they're going to show themselves and when we might be that, yes, Mizora said she was going to come to camp. It hasn't arrived yet. So,
okay. Even though we could probably carry on in our current state. Yeah, I wouldn't mind topping up my spell slot. So, let's have a long rest anyway. Oh, hang on. The moment we did that. Oh, is it well? Is will the impostor?
Well, oh, John, the misora thing. You were literally just saying the misora were literally just saying the misora thing. Sor
test esco may come sisters be my testament. No tomb sit in beay.
You've heard of such devils? Sisters of justice, adjudicators of diabolical contracts and bargains. &gt;&gt; Holy hells. &gt;&gt; Okay, the situation just got much worse. She's invited cocking lawyers to my
camp. So, you know what? I'm going to mention the Sisters of Justice by name to prove I know what the cock's going on here. All right. You can't surprise me with unexpected sexy devil women. &gt;&gt; You do not call upon the sisters. They
&gt;&gt; You do not call upon the sisters. They come when the hells demand witness. &gt;&gt; Enough, Mizora. Where is my father? How do I save him?
&gt;&gt; How else we bargain? Sisters. Sisters. &gt;&gt; Infernos contrato.
Your contract will signed in blood, forged in fire, bound in bone. but not unbreakable. &gt;&gt; Okay, so as we were expecting, you want
to get Will on a new contract given he's managed to get out of the old one, just managed to get out of the old one, just like we saw with your gear and Raphael back in the day. So, okay,
I'm going to work under the assumption that yes, you're offering a trade, his that yes, you're offering a trade, his dad in return for his soul. But let's make sure we understand all the details here because yeah, very literally in a
Fyun, the devil's in the detail when it comes to these bloody contracts. &gt;&gt; A life for a life. No contract is ended without sacrifice.
No contract is ended without sacrifice. The cost must be paid. Will Ravenguard, a choice is before you. Option one. I
show you the way to your father. I guarantee him no harm except that from you and your allies, and you pledge your soul to me and the and you pledge your soul to me and the arch devil, Zariel, in a pact eternal.
arch devil, Zariel, in a pact eternal. Option two. I break your pact and you are freed from your duty. Your father dies by his enemy's hand and Boulders's dies by his enemy's hand and Boulders's Gate loses its greatest champion.
Name your sacrifice. &gt;&gt; Bloody Zariel. I won't let her take &gt;&gt; Silence. Carlac. &gt;&gt; Mizora. You [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] &gt;&gt; Choose. &gt;&gt; Okay. Now, that's an interesting
selection of options here because there are three things I would like to say to Wo right now, and I don't have the option to say any of them. The first is this is your soul versus your father. Like, this is an incredibly personal
choice. You should make this decision, not me. Like with Shadow Heart back in act two. But yeah, that's not an option. Either I tell him to do one thing or I tell him to do the other. though I'm not sure whether he'd actually go along with
me. Like it feels like a pretty core part of Will's personality is to sacrifice himself on behalf of others. In fact, possibly that's the exact way she's phrased it. She was talking about, you know, his dad is the ultimate
champion of Bouldersgate because when he originally did his first deal, it was to save Bouldersgate. She's trying to make the deal sound, you know, comparable so he'll make the same decision again. And speaking of which, yes, two points on
the topic of Misora. Well, one, we don't trust devil deals because everything we've seen indicate that, you know, you never cooking win with a devil deal. There's always a sting in the tail. And speaking of which, I don't trust that
phrasing. Yeah. No harm will come to your dad. Aside from that's done by you or your allies, because one of my allies is currently a doppelganger. So, you know, one of my allies could go and kill him right now potentially. And two,
yeah, what if there's a reason we need to kill him? Like, he's already been turned into a mind flare or something. Like, I can see multiple ways this contract has been phrased in such a way as to basically screw you over and make
you sign away your soul for nothing. Especially given Yeah, I think Mazzor is deliberately trying to rush us into this because she appears the moment she wants to keep Will signed up and says, "Oh yeah, we've got to rescue your dad right
now. I'm the only way you can do it." And I'm not convinced that's true. Like, you know, we know he's in prison and we just did a prison break 10 minutes ago. We could just find the prison and break him out ourselves. So, I'm going to say
break the pact. you deserve your freedom. I don't mean that he actually should break it just because he deserves to be free. I think we should break it because signing up with Mizora strikes to me as you know a way of potentially
making things much bloody worse. That deal is never going to work out because devil deals never do. But I suspect he's going to say no. I'm going to sacrifice myself for my dad anyway. That's probably why this isn't
like, you know, a persuasion check cuz I suspect he's not going to go along with it. But we're going to try and persuade him. Okay. Break the pact. We are going to find a way to rescue your dad another way. And if we can't, well, it's
entirely possible. Yeah, he's like, you know, already a mind flare. Technically alive, but now lost to us functionally forever. forever. &gt;&gt; You damned wretch.
Father, &gt;&gt; do it. Break the pact. &gt;&gt; Oh, I was not expecting him to actually go along with me there. &gt;&gt; Fiat. Fiat.
Fiat. Anima adbeat. &gt;&gt; Didn't think you had it in you. Seems my boy's all grown up. And don't
go fussing about your father. You made your choice. You knew the terms. You your choice. You knew the terms. You know what? I think I'll stick around. Not for the greater good. You understand? Just for the entertainment.
understand? Just for the entertainment. &gt;&gt; Oh, so I suspect you in just a second. This guy's visiting me for some reason tonight.
with her cat. Like, you know, she's just chilling out with this giant demon in the barn for some reason. So, okay, Mizor is just uh in my camp now, which I strongly suspect means she's not done trying to sign a will back up yet. And
speaking of which, right, I'm wondering if Will might be a bit uh annoyed at me under the circumstances for suggesting you ought to break the pact, but seriously, Will, like no good was going
to come out of this new pact. We are going to rescue your father. Like, I know what you were saying about the consequences and whatnot. But yeah, the only reason we think your father might be in danger at all is because she told
us so. And devils cannot be cocky. trusted. She may well have been lying to you. Or indeed, your father might already be alive, but not necessarily
already be alive, but not necessarily him anymore. Gods, I spent seven years choked by Mazzora's leash. And I spent seven years hoping to break free. I never knew freedom could taste so bittersweet.
&gt;&gt; Okay, I'm wondering if maybe yes, this was not the right direction for him. like he's now going to regret not sacrificing himself for his father. But oh blime me. No, don't suggest he
can now rise up and become the next juke. Though technically depending on yeah rules of succession in Fyun, he might just be like, you know, the juke now anyway, assuming his father is dead, which I don't believe. Like we're going
rescue him. &gt;&gt; I have to believe that. I'm not the hell's puppet in life, nor its warrior in death. The blade will be guiding his own hand, but freedom will be paid in my father's
blood. Tomorrow I celebrate my gain. Today I mourn my loss. &gt;&gt; A moment passes
in the stillness. You find a moat of tranquility. The Raven Guard name now lives solely with me. I will make it count for something. &gt;&gt; Okay, I was about to say maybe I was being a bit optimistic saying we could
just go and find your father ourselves, but there is an option here saying your father's not dead yet. Maybe we can save him without Mazzora's help. &gt;&gt; I signed his life away before the hell's witnesses.
It would be easier to drink the sticks down to the last drop than to alter his down to the last drop than to alter his fate. I'd be a fool to wish otherwise. &gt;&gt; Okay, that sounds pretty certain. I think possibly his father is dead. In
which case, oh, right. I am really sorry cuz I was working under the assumption Mizora was lying to us and maybe we could just go rescue your dad anyway. And I'm gonna continue to hope that might be the case.
