And Vesper began her acapella performance, 7 4th with no instrument. And it is there that we begin the next section of the tip of the diceberg. We’re on the
Speaker 1 · [0:00:19]

Speaker 1 · [0:00:28]
What’s that room over there to the right
Speaker 4 · [0:00:30]
of the stages? I’m like, should you just, like, quick swoop in there and inspect some shit? Like Mhmm. Everybody’s a little distracted right now. We’re at the bar drunk.
Speaker 4 · [0:00:38]
At the bar hanging out. Like, you could go see what’s in the office. Talking about this this 1. Yeah. Figure 1 way or another, we’re fighting our way out of this whole place.
Speaker 4 · [0:00:46]
Right? So we might as well just start collecting intel.
Speaker 3 · [0:00:49]
Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea. Can we do, like, a perception check to see if people are paying attention? Yeah. Can we do, like,
Speaker 4 · [0:00:56]
a quick little bird swoop into Old Tin Top’s office?
Speaker 0 · [0:01:01]
Yeah. So y’all can’t really see it. It’s behind drawing curtains.
Speaker 1 · [0:01:07]
Mhmm. But like what’s backstage?
Speaker 4 · [0:01:09]
You know, that’s what I’m asking.
Speaker 3 · [0:01:11]
Yeah. Maybe I wanna go back and scout like the, you know, the competition, see how they’re doing.
Speaker 0 · [0:01:17]
Maybe Sure. Maybe untune
Speaker 3 · [0:01:20]
their instruments a little bit.
Speaker 1 · [0:01:22]
What was your what’s your Cronin? Magnum. Bonzo. Bonzo.
Speaker 4 · [0:01:30]
Bonzo. Bonzo. I can make a scene out
Speaker 1 · [0:01:34]
of it like Bonzo where’d you go? You know?
Speaker 3 · [0:01:37]
You should like spill make a like spill bunch of shit on the bar.
Speaker 4 · [0:01:41]
Faf’s very drunk now. Maybe or at
Speaker 0 · [0:01:44]
least he’s pretending to be. Yeah. Yeah. Y’all can you make it a stealth jack or something.
Speaker 4 · [0:01:58]
Oh, I’ve got plus plus 4

Speaker 4 · [0:02:01]

Speaker 0 · [0:02:09]
Alright. My stealth. Yeah. That goes. I think that it it captures at least maybe a a quarter of the room.
Speaker 0 · [0:02:16]
All the people closest to y’all in the bar are looking at the spilt beer kind of like with disgust, and the other half heard the disruption but remain focused on the stage where Vesper is starting to walk out. And if you recall, Vesper where Bastard is a human woman in her fifties. She has close cropped silver hair and ink stained fingers, wearing a flowing black dress. It’s comfortable but elegant and composed, and she was walking out with no instrument onto the stage. The beer is clattering.
Speaker 0 · [0:03:12]
The people around are licking. The rest are licking at the stage. Do you wanna roll with her?
Speaker 3 · [0:03:17]
Stealth. Stealth check.
Speaker 1 · [0:03:20]
Oh, yeah. I’m hanging out with Bay over there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 · [0:03:24]
Okay. I got a 7.
Speaker 1 · [0:03:28]
That’s your stealth
Speaker 3 · [0:03:29]
roll? Stealth roll with concrete.
Speaker 0 · [0:03:36]
You are birding over to the curtains on the right side of the stage, And, immediately, Topsy is just, like, kinda standing in front of the curtains looking at you, and it’s like
Speaker 3 · [0:03:52]
Okay. I’d be around. I’d do a nice little circuit around the the crowded people over their heads, do a nice aerial display for them all, and they applaud me.
Speaker 4 · [0:04:03]
Yeah. And I’m going, yes. Sponge crow victory lap.
Speaker 1 · [0:04:06]
I’m looking around. Is the is the mysterious chick that I saw earlier. Is she still in there?
Speaker 0 · [0:04:13]
Yes. The the pale pale elf Yeah. And she’s in funerary gray and is barefoot. You you see her in the back.
Speaker 1 · [0:04:30]
Oh, yeah. In the corner?
Speaker 0 · [0:04:32]
Sat. Yeah. K. Alone with a a flute card from Bones, it appears. K.
Speaker 0 · [0:04:41]
And at this moment, all of the Old Tin Top’s casino goes quiet as Vesper sits down, and the lights dim with only the barest lantern that glows on her, and she begins her acapella performance.
Speaker 5 · [0:05:10]
Home is behind the world ahead.
Speaker 0 · [0:06:01]
And I was I’m saying a tear just drips out her eye, and it’s clear that that performance is not for Old Tin Top or any of the audience, but it was to somebody long lost.
Speaker 3 · [0:06:14]
Was there somebody in the audience, like, chewing tomatoes, really? Viciously. Chewing tomatoes. And
Speaker 0 · [0:06:26]
as quick as she exited, Old Tin Top comes back out bounding out top hat on. He goes, that’s for rock, everybody. 3 times, she’s competed at the night song. Never once stopped to fail. She is called The Thunderballers Gate for a reason.
Speaker 0 · [0:06:43]
We have not heard a performance that somber from her since anybody even heard of her name.
Speaker 5 · [0:06:50]
But anyways, we push
Speaker 0 · [0:06:52]
onward and upward. The next finalist to make it to the round of 2 is none other than Raafe Brightfin. And as he does that immediately Rafe Brightfin jumps on the stage, claims his signet ring from Volatantop. And if y’all recall, he is a blue scaled Trident bard, massive, with a harp that is strung with actual lightning struck wire. He is a creature of the Blue Lagoon, if you will.
Speaker 0 · [0:07:30]
That’s what the tridents kinda look like. And immediately hops out even before Old Tin Top can exit the stage. He drives into his performance, and there’s a growling underneath. The seats start to shake a little bit in the audience. There’s sort of like a a rumbling, and what was already dark grows darker in the room above the audience as if there was moonlight, but now giant storm clouds have rolled in to obscure it, only so much light comes through.
Speaker 0 · [0:08:10]
And then saying, and roll a d 20 to see if you’re compelled to join in.
Speaker 2 · [0:08:32]
- Oh,
Speaker 1 · [0:08:34]
yeah. You’re good. You’re good.
Speaker 0 · [0:08:35]
You’re good. 18. You’re compelled. 18. You can’t help yourself.
Speaker 0 · [0:08:39]
You’re on all fours. And you start to actually feel electricity too, like Mhmm. In your after, clearly, if something happens, they’ll happen.
Speaker 1 · [0:08:47]
They started they started go drink line where
Speaker 0 · [0:08:50]
where you you have to drink between the thunder things. And when Ray starts saying, with every hit, there’s a literal thunder clash. Got it. And then Bonzo and Sweetie start to feel rain dropping him.
Speaker 2 · [0:10:24]
You’ve been. Oh, you’re struck. It’s nice. It’s good shit.
Speaker 4 · [0:10:32]
So I can roll again for both of these guys to convince them? Yeah.
Speaker 1 · [0:10:36]
At the end of the at the at the end of the You’re totally unbound. Because we got
Speaker 4 · [0:10:41]
a vote for them.
Speaker 0 · [0:10:41]
Yeah. You’re totally unbound.
Speaker 4 · [0:10:43]
And I’m like
Speaker 0 · [0:10:44]
Bonzo’s unbounded.
Speaker 1 · [0:10:45]
You hear that shit, That shit was fantastic.
Speaker 0 · [0:10:51]
Ever better. The minute it Alright. It fades out. It fades out. It stops.
Speaker 0 · [0:10:58]
The tunes stop. And what if y’all just a moment before everybody in the room was felt like they were in a hurricane and could feel water on them and the tingly of their hair. It’s all back to normal. It’s good. And Rafe is just like,
Speaker 5 · [0:11:13]
thank you.
Speaker 0 · [0:11:15]
Old Tin Top. My boy. Boom. And they’re, like, high 5. And he’s, like, just a very smiley, friendly, kind of like a jock.
Speaker 0 · [0:11:23]
Maybe you think that Riff Reifman might be stupid, but also could be a good hang and you’re not sure.
Speaker 3 · [0:11:30]
Mhmm. He Mhmm.
Speaker 0 · [0:11:31]
Exits backstage. I like that guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 · [0:11:36]
Really gonna pee.
Speaker 0 · [0:11:37]
Old Tin Top is back out.
Speaker 4 · [0:11:41]
Oh, cheesesticks here. Alright. Should we just pause it?
Speaker 5 · [0:11:46]
Oh,
Speaker 4 · [0:11:49]
you bought a guitar.
Speaker 2 · [0:11:51]
It’s been a Kevin since. I have so many of my belongings.
Speaker 1 · [0:11:57]
Are you prepping for your I said you’re trying to your mom.
Speaker 2 · [0:12:00]
We’re just gonna tune it while we’re waiting at Old Tin Top.
Speaker 4 · [0:12:08]
Tin Nat 20. Nat
Speaker 0 · [0:12:10]
- Everyone’s so locked in. No. You do you see successfully
Speaker 2 · [0:12:20]
find someone to fight for.
Speaker 0 · [0:12:21]
And you see the pale half elf and funerary gray with the bone fluid sitting in the corner, and she’s rubbing me down there.
Speaker 1 · [0:12:33]
She? Yeah. The pale half elf.
Speaker 0 · [0:12:36]
Oh, does that girls?
Speaker 1 · [0:12:38]
That’s the that’s the chick that I scoped earlier on. And I do you remember? Yeah. I like I was like, I’m gonna whisper to her. I did the whole whisper.
Speaker 1 · [0:12:48]
She’s been eyeing us the whole time, bro.
Speaker 4 · [0:12:51]
Alright. Faf walks up to her, but he’s not gonna fight
Speaker 1 · [0:12:53]
her because that’s against his principles.
Speaker 4 · [0:12:58]
He does say, you look like a good time, and it stamens her legs.
Speaker 1 · [0:13:03]
You know, we’re gonna
Speaker 4 · [0:13:04]
do this. That’s slippery salmon?
Speaker 0 · [0:13:05]
Yeah. Slip your salmon. And she just stares very coldly back.
Speaker 4 · [0:13:11]
That’s it. Damn. Ice cold. She didn’t even react at all.
Speaker 0 · [0:13:17]
Just staring right at you. Yeah. But, basically, no reaction. Ice cold.
Speaker 4 · [0:13:27]
Faf would like to yell at Boyd Barkey. 3 shots of Jiggly Juice over here. 2 for me, 1 for the lady.
Speaker 0 · [0:13:33]
Nice. Yeah. The from the the chandeliers, monkeys are swinging Uh-huh. With a platter, and they land in between y’all with the the shots. What are you doing?
Speaker 0 · [0:13:47]
What? Where are you going?
Speaker 2 · [0:13:49]
I’m just putting that.
Speaker 0 · [0:13:51]
Hold on. As that interaction is unfolding, Voltow and Tin and on to the next, and it’s the gentleman bod from Baldurglestrom, another Baldarian, Owen Cooper. Owen Cooper had to die. An outlaw walks a lean and long fingered, handsome devil dressed in charcoal and deep navy. No ornamentation in his outfit, just impeccably cut fabric that costs more than Bard’s earned in a year.
Speaker 0 · [0:14:25]
Dark hair swept back, pale green eyes that are about 3 seconds ahead of whatever he appears to be thinking.
Speaker 1 · [0:14:32]
I look over to Lilith, and I’m like, snack.
Speaker 0 · [0:14:39]
His 1 piece of jewelry is a a ring on his right hand, and he carries a simple rosewood Citerm aged to near black. And as he takes the sage, he does not perform with a caper or flourish. Rather, he sits down, tosses 1 ankle over his knee, and begins. And he plays a beautiful, very Lilith, colonesque tune, the hint of Jack Johnson. What’s his I can’t really hear Jack Johnson.
Speaker 2 · [0:15:19]
I can’t really hear Owen.
Speaker 0 · [0:15:21]
What’s that? What’s he somewhere? He sort of you know what? He sounds like this.
Speaker 2 · [0:15:29]
Hey. The mic’s not on. Well, TinTop.
Speaker 0 · [0:15:36]
O n begins and it sounds like this.
Speaker 2 · [0:15:52]
And there are there are
Speaker 0 · [0:15:55]
some every baby in the background. I’m getting
Speaker 1 · [0:16:00]
my lighter out
Speaker 2 · [0:16:01]
for this 1, boys.
Speaker 4 · [0:16:03]
Is the the the babe I’m talking to right now, Sway?
Speaker 0 · [0:16:06]
Stoned cold.
Speaker 4 · [0:16:07]
You said every baby? She’s stoned cold. But I’ve got my arm around her now, and I’m just trying to pour jiggly juice down
Speaker 0 · [0:16:13]
over there. And she’s taking the jiggly juice in good swore, and it is making your body jiggle. Yeah.
Speaker 4 · [0:17:18]
There’s 1 watermelon batch kid left.
Speaker 3 · [0:17:22]
Thank you. Very kind of you.
Speaker 1 · [0:17:23]
That is like, there’s only kept this for you.
Speaker 0 · [0:17:27]
It it too slowly fades out, the 3rd performance of the night. And just as posed, there’s Owen took the stage.
Speaker 2 · [0:17:35]
He picks up his
Speaker 0 · [0:17:36]
c turn and exit the stage, making reference to nobody in the audience, and yet everyone felt like they got a wink as he left. Old Tin Top. And that was it was Jeff Bucket. That was Yeah. I put that in my notes.
Speaker 1 · [0:17:53]
I felt that.
Speaker 0 · [0:17:54]
Do you know it’s
Speaker 2 · [0:17:54]
Jeff Bucket? Because
Speaker 0 · [0:17:58]
Jeff Bucket did a version of Hallelujah, which I’ve thought about playing for.
Speaker 1 · [0:18:03]
That’s little overplay. That’s why
Speaker 4 · [0:18:05]
I love that.
Speaker 3 · [0:18:07]
Here’s the Leonard Cohen. Good for him.
Speaker 0 · [0:18:08]
Yeah. Here’s the Leonard Cohen. Did it. Old Tin Top jumps back out onto stage and is like, Owen Cooper, everybody. My heart is broken and remanded all at once.
Speaker 0 · [0:18:26]
Without further ado, we’ll have our 4th contestant of round 2. None other than the late arrival Isilrod Gurglestrom who shook our hearts with the mountains, the dwarves, Gary before. And here it comes everybody. Woo hoo.
Speaker 4 · [0:18:41]
I’m shaking this woman, like making her cheer for cheer for
Speaker 1 · [0:18:45]

Speaker 4 · [0:18:46]

Speaker 2 · [0:18:48]
This this might this might take a 2nd.
Speaker 0 · [0:18:50]
Take your time. Take your time. As Isilrod is moving towards the stage and everything, wanna do it.
Speaker 3 · [0:18:57]
He’s Ask me my phone. Copyright. I have a as since I leveled up, I became a druid. So I’d like to add some effects to his performance. Alright.
Speaker 3 · [0:19:09]
I have Dr. Croft. So I I can make make harmless sensory effects. So I’d like to make, like, falling cherry blossoms all around him. Perfect.
Speaker 3 · [0:19:21]
I’d like to make the notes of this guitar actually, a a note, a light of note come out in the float and touch everybody on the crowd. Oh.
Speaker 1 · [0:19:31]
I I see what’s going down and I tangible notes. I’m picking up what’s going down. I I join in with my shit. Where’s my actions? Action.
Speaker 1 · [0:19:45]
I think my I something. I got something for this. Is it or Minor Illusion?
Speaker 0 · [0:19:52]
Mhmm. Mhmm.
Speaker 1 · [0:19:53]
I crank that, dude. I’m gonna
Speaker 3 · [0:19:54]
Crank that.
Speaker 1 · [0:19:55]
There’s gonna be sparkles coming off of the back of him. You know? Mhmm. He’s like a it’s like a it’s like a Snapchat filter, but, like, better. You know?
Speaker 0 · [0:20:05]
Alright. And as this is happening, the monkeys have begin have begun bringing in little brass mugs, a a sheet of paper, and a quill and passing those around to everybody in the audience.
Speaker 4 · [0:20:29]
Hang on a 2nd.
Speaker 0 · [0:20:34]
The the lights burned
Speaker 4 · [0:20:35]
I I kinda wanna do a thing. Like Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein introduction by Shakespeare.
Speaker 0 · [0:20:41]
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 · [0:20:42]
Yeah. So fast barging up on the
Speaker 0 · [0:20:44]
stage right now. It’s Chaucer.
Speaker 3 · [0:20:47]
It’s Chaucer. Yeah. Chaucer.
Speaker 4 · [0:20:52]
Hear now, good folk.
Speaker 0 · [0:20:53]
Yeah. Faf has jumped on the
Speaker 4 · [0:20:55]
scene. Steal your cups, silence your squabbles, and lend your ears to a legend forged, not in towering halls, but in the deepest roots of the mountains. From the echoing stone chambers where ambles ring with like cathedral bells. From the great dwarven holds where every beard tells a story and every song outlives the singer. Come the maestro of mythril melodies, the sultan of strings, the sovereign of song.
Speaker 4 · [0:21:22]
His voice is quiet in tavern brawls with a single verse. Awaken sleeping kings with a sleeping chorus. And once, if the tales are true, convinced an angry troll to apologize before wandering back beneath its bridge. He has traded ballads with elves beneath moodlet bowels. Matt’s drinking songs with giants, stolen applause from kings, and left dragons humming tunes they swore they despised.
Speaker 4 · [0:21:50]
His boots are worn from 1000 roads. His tanker does never remained empty for long, and his beard has been signed in more glorious adventures than most men could survive. Raise your mugs. Stamp your feet. Let the rafters tremble and the mountain answers.
Speaker 4 · [0:22:04]
I present to you the hammer of harmony, the voice beneath the mountain, the 1, the only,
Speaker 0 · [0:22:13]
And as the man hops off, dust clattering with the Give back my meat, please. Old Faf could use a drink while you’re giving back our meat. Give me back dear.
Speaker 1 · [0:25:27]
Goddamn it. He’s done it again. It was so fucking good.
Speaker 0 · [0:25:31]
Didn’t talk fouled up. You can see his little topsy reaching by a cash of dropping cherry blossom.
Speaker 4 · [0:25:37]
Do we have
Speaker 1 · [0:25:37]
recording that? Well, yeah. We do. Yeah. We should make an album.
Speaker 1 · [0:25:46]
Goddamn it. Goddamn
Speaker 0 · [0:25:48]
it. Was that modeled after a new solo?
Speaker 2 · [0:25:50]
That was after Give Back the Key to My Heart by Uncle Tubbs.
Speaker 4 · [0:25:55]
Fully written. What does give back the feet to my bard mean to you?
Speaker 2 · [0:26:00]
Feel like when I was down in those caves with my family I I I there wasn’t anywhere to go.
Speaker 3 · [0:26:07]
Okay. And
Speaker 2 · [0:26:08]
it was essentially like I just had my my feet chopped off. Well that’s been something that I’ve been working on for decades honestly.
Speaker 1 · [0:26:16]
I thought it was like Fe AT. Yeah. Notable extraordinary
Speaker 0 · [0:26:22]
It’s a dual.
Speaker 2 · [0:26:24]
No. I’m a pretty good songwriter. It’s
Speaker 1 · [0:26:27]
so it’s so multifaceted, multi layered. We’re gonna be we’re gonna be dissecting that 1 for decades. I can tell we ever remember the meeting.
Speaker 0 · [0:26:36]
That was fantastic. You can
Speaker 1 · [0:26:37]
tell that everyone is talking about it.
Speaker 0 · [0:26:39]
Incredible. Incredible work. And as you exit the stage, Old Tin Top is the stage is empty because Old Tin Top is just pulling the curtain back in like, oh my god. And then he roars back on the stage and is like, Isilrod, everybody. The dwarf with his companion.
Speaker 0 · [0:27:06]
An incredible introduction, much better than I could have given. But I’m
Speaker 5 · [0:27:10]
not here for all that, Flea.
Speaker 0 · [0:27:11]
I’m here for the tunes, baby. And Isilrod brought them tonight. We’ll see how the ballad ballads shake out. In the meantime, let’s have our 5th performer, Summer Hardcore Meanieham. At which point, the green imp wearing the black heavy metal leather that was jostled with the Cooper comes out and looks very angry the entire time and plays this tune, which I’m only
Speaker 1 · [0:27:46]
Hard to follow that 1 up.
Speaker 0 · [0:27:47]
Very hard to follow. Very hard to follow that 1. And plays this tune. And then she cuts it off and walks out saying,
Speaker 5 · [0:29:20]
fuck y’all.
Speaker 0 · [0:29:23]
They came back. But you can tell that the fuck y’all was meant to be pure hatred, but was playful in the spirit of hardcore.
Speaker 1 · [0:29:36]
Directional mics. What? No. No. No.
Speaker 1 · [0:29:39]
Oh.
Speaker 0 · [0:29:40]
- Alright. Do y’all know that? That old Stantle album is an agent.
Speaker 4 · [0:29:47]
What album is that?
Speaker 0 · [0:29:48]
And they called him the doom Slayer. I didn’t didn’t sound right.
Speaker 1 · [0:29:54]
Oh, really? Oh, shit. Yeah. But it’s,
Speaker 0 · [0:29:57]
like, considered 1 of the greatest heavy metal albums.
Speaker 4 · [0:29:59]
I was picturing, like, a, like, a, like, a nineties German rave. With with vampires. Yes.
Speaker 0 · [0:30:07]
Yeah. That’s the box.
Speaker 4 · [0:30:07]
Lots of flashing red lights. Yeah.
Speaker 0 · [0:30:09]
They call it. Wolf Wolf. What
Speaker 3 · [0:30:12]
is that? The band that sings Duhas.
Speaker 0 · [0:30:18]
No. That yeah. Yeah. Old Tin Top comes out, and he’s like, his all of his ears are frizzled and and blared up by that raging hardcore performance. And then he introduces the last of the performance, and it’s none other than Gus Galloway who enters the stage.
Speaker 0 · [0:30:43]
He is the stout gnome wearing a yellow vest that has too many pockets to count. And he plays a little ditty about Jack and Diane. A
Speaker 1 · [0:30:57]
little ditty.
Speaker 4 · [0:30:59]
A little ditty.
Speaker 0 · [0:31:02]
Which we won’t see out through. We have a whole another round.
Speaker 3 · [0:31:07]
We’ve heard that tiddy.
Speaker 0 · [0:31:08]
Can we at least take a,
Speaker 4 · [0:31:09]
like, baseline drum? Yeah.
Speaker 0 · [0:31:11]
We do. Do you know the song?
Speaker 4 · [0:31:13]
Of course.
Speaker 2 · [0:31:14]
Is it an original by Gust? No.
Speaker 0 · [0:31:20]
Halfway alright. Halfway through the little ditty about Jack and Diane, he stops himself and says, well, y’all heard that 1 before, have you? I I was in a good you know, you know, I’m always in a good mood.
Speaker 5 · [0:31:35]
That’s that’s
Speaker 0 · [0:31:36]
a little Gus Galloway for you. He’s always singing about happiness. But I’ve been I’ve been using on something of late. So Gus will play you a ballad that I heard from my great great grandpappy. It seems fitting for this time.
Speaker 0 · [0:31:58]
Mhmm. It’s called it’s called The Watcher.
Speaker 5 · [0:32:39]

Till sunset.
Speaker 1 · [0:53:01]
Start from
Speaker 0 · [0:53:02]
the beginning. Bro, it’s been a long time since I’ve told the full story, brother. Well, dude, I basically came out of the gills playing tunes.
Speaker 1 · [0:53:20]
You have gills? Yep.
Speaker 0 · [0:53:23]
I’m like a I’m like a fish man.
Speaker 1 · [0:53:25]
Oh. Woah. Wow.
Speaker 0 · [0:53:29]
Yeah. I’m from the waters. Okay. Yeah. Like, about 400 miles from here, north of Fort Walters Gate, Little water community down there where I’m from.
Speaker 0 · [0:53:40]
The problem with coming out of the yard playing the tunes with this body is that I was meant to play the ancient sport of water polo, which I excel at for sure. I was the captain of Tritonian 4 years in a row, but my parents wanted me to keep up, and I just couldn’t do that. So I fucking hit the waters for it was smooth, man.
Speaker 1 · [0:54:12]
Dude, what what do you think about the Aldani? You fuck with those guys? What’s their vibe?
Speaker 0 · [0:54:18]
I’ve I’ve never met 1 before, but as amphibious folk, I do have a little kind of spirit with them. I wouldn’t mind heading back out. I do kinda have to jet, but I I wouldn’t mind headed down to the basin to check them out.
Speaker 1 · [0:54:34]
After this? You’re traveling. Was just gonna check.
Speaker 0 · [0:54:37]
About it, but I really got a rally with with my boy who picked me up. 1st 1st boat that I ever saw when I was hitchhiking out of Tritonia to get away from my oppressive parents and their water polo obsession. Mhmm. Boat I picked up, this sweet merchant vessel, the Brazen Pegasus, and me and my boy, captain that ship Ortimay Swift.
Speaker 1 · [0:55:05]
Oh, you’re boys with Ortimay?
Speaker 0 · [0:55:07]
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that’s partly you know, I came down. I always like to attend the night song, and when I get an invitation, it’s especially special for me. So I was gonna come down this way anyways, though, notwithstanding the night song because me and Ortimay had treasure hunting plans.
Speaker 0 · [0:55:26]
Wow. We’re we’re looking for Aremag, and, you know, has been after that piece for that piece treasure for a long time, but, you know, she doesn’t have. So it’s kinda. Yeah.
Speaker 4 · [0:55:39]
We Dude,
Speaker 1 · [0:55:40]
what’s what’s left of store? Me.
Speaker 0 · [0:55:42]
Oh, I don’t know. Like, 7 months ago. I got I got a letter from him recently saying that he had some strange folk on board, but he’s excited to go back on the treasure hunt.
Speaker 2 · [0:55:53]
So That’s really crazy. Then you’re You’re talking
Speaker 1 · [0:55:56]

Speaker 2 · [0:55:56]

Speaker 1 · [0:56:22]

I think we got a
Speaker 3 · [0:56:27]

What do you think we should
Speaker 4 · [1:03:58]
Makes us all money.
Speaker 0 · [1:03:59]
What should we what do you think we should name the next edition? Obviously, you can’t mention the night’s song given the confidentiality provisions and everything. But with y’all gone from from this year’s shindig, I’m worried that I won’t have an article. Gus, do you have any ideas? No.
Speaker 0 · [1:04:20]
I I don’t got any ideas, really. I mean, it’s Chibalba, I haven’t spent a lot of time here. You know? Last time it was of any interest was when Jacques LaFleur was out here railing on some tinge, but I haven’t seen him in hot minute
Speaker 5 · [1:04:35]
now. Chocolatier.
Speaker 4 · [1:04:38]
I mean, if you can write a story about the events without naming
Speaker 0 · [1:04:43]
the place, can you not? Well, a lot of people a lot of people think the Midsummer’s Night Song is myth. So generally mention that. I think Old Tin Top would appear.
Speaker 1 · [1:04:56]
He’s like that. Hey?
Speaker 0 · [1:05:01]
No. He’s really not. But in terms of the Bardic Cove, he is he is militant.
Speaker 4 · [1:05:07]
So what do you know about that woman with the death stare over there?
Speaker 0 · [1:05:13]
The Solde of the Moth?

Speaker 0 · [1:05:28]
People aren’t even sure when she arrived. She could have been here, like, 4 months ago, they say, but maybe she just arrived an hour ago. It’s really tough to
Speaker 4 · [1:05:36]
It’s fine to get her out of those robes just to look. Just to
Speaker 0 · [1:05:40]
look. Skin and
Speaker 4 · [1:05:42]
It was not not successful.
Speaker 0 · [1:05:44]
Skin and bones. But, no, I mean, yeah, Probably tough nut to crack.

Oh, 2 questions.
Speaker 0 · [1:11:28]
1st, Clarky will answer roll d 20 for persuasion.
Speaker 2 · [1:11:34]
He can’t talk, though. I had to use speak with animals to talk to him.
Speaker 0 · [1:11:38]
It’s more of like an eye thing. She’s trusting in the animal. Can I develop that in the future? Whatever. Potentially.
Speaker 0 · [1:11:45]
20? Yeah.

Speaker 0 · [1:11:52]
She she The knife goes and he says, thank you. Thank you, Clarky. I believe you. Why are y’all here?
Speaker 2 · [1:12:04]
Before I answer you, people We have that we’re responsible for their
Speaker 0 · [1:12:11]
death. There’s wanted posters in every alley and cathedral in Baldur’s Gate for y’all’s murder of Throbbin.
Speaker 2 · [1:12:22]
Who do you think could be behind this?
Speaker 0 · [1:12:25]
But I don’t know. I thought you murdered him. Them. Them. And they were your lover?
Speaker 0 · [1:12:35]
Throbbin had many lovers as you may know. You could have a lover
Speaker 2 · [1:12:39]
and misgender them.
Speaker 0 · [1:12:43]
That was a mistake. That’s fair. That was a mistake.
Speaker 2 · [1:12:46]
It’s been due to loss. 1st of several mistakes
Speaker 0 · [1:12:49]
you made. Or was it the the pure uniform fluidity that was that rainbow?
Speaker 3 · [1:13:07]
An impasse.
Speaker 0 · [1:13:10]
You say it was somebody at the Symposium. Yes. Can I? You can’t talk. You can’t talk.
Speaker 3 · [1:13:19]
No. I’m whisper in your ear. Do
Speaker 0 · [1:13:27]
you think
Speaker 2 · [1:13:28]
perhaps Rosnee could have had something to do with her? I’ll tell you 1 thing. He’s just a dancer. It was not the death curse. This was an ambush.
Speaker 2 · [1:13:44]
Throbbin was shot with an arrow through a window, if I’m correct.
Speaker 1 · [1:13:48]
To the neck.
Speaker 2 · [1:13:49]
To the middle. Through the neck? Yeah. Through a window through a neck. Her neck.
Speaker 2 · [1:13:53]
Their neck. Everyone does. In their brown skin. And you
Speaker 0 · [1:14:00]

Speaker 0 · [1:14:12]
Oh, butler Steve. The butler. Yes. Mister Stevens. He told me about him.
Speaker 0 · [1:14:18]
Anything odd? You heard any other trace

Speaker 2 · [1:14:54]
Yeah. It’s just things are really hazy from that night that Throbbin was murdered in cold cold cold blood.
Speaker 1 · [1:15:01]
But can we trust you? How do we know you’re not a fucking op? A narc, if you will. An op of what?

I have a D’Narwali an idea.
Speaker 0 · [1:20:54]
What if
Speaker 4 · [1:20:57]
in the next phase of the competition, we sing a very inflammatory song about Ras Nsi’s. About the symposium. About symposiums and watch reactions and fucking snatch sex.
Speaker 1 · [1:21:12]

Speaker 2 · [1:21:23]
The best oceans.
Speaker 0 · [1:21:27]

Speaker 4 · [1:35:49]
bar. Bad
Speaker 0 · [1:35:50]
part in the bar? What you’re saying is that you think that scoundrel, Bonobo, you think that he already rigged the vote for somebody else, and you’re trying to pay me to ring the vote for you just to balance the offer. That’s actually not that.
Speaker 2 · [1:36:10]
I’m assuming Bonobo’s 1 of your other friends, monkey friends? Plunky guy?
Speaker 0 · [1:36:14]
Yeah. Phil, the nemesis, even. That he was a fucking rat. He ratted me out. Yeah.

Speaker 0 · [1:45:17]
Why are people that aren’t in the at the 1 room.
Speaker 4 · [1:45:21]
I’m about to fucking roll my ass up there. Looking up a drawer. I’m exploring the pyrotechnics because there were some flames when we walked in originally.
Speaker 0 · [1:45:29]
Oh, the the fireplace. Yes. The fireplace. Where’s the fireplace? Do you see Volo over there with Owen Cooper?
Speaker 0 · [1:45:37]
They’re both smoking pipes and chatting. The fireplace is the backyard.
Speaker 4 · [1:45:41]
This this right here?
Speaker 0 · [1:45:43]
Yeah. Yeah. That’s right. That’s right.
Speaker 4 · [1:45:45]
I said, gentlemen.
Speaker 0 · [1:45:48]
Mister D’Gnorwhal, says Volo. And then Owen Cooper, cool. It’s a cucumber. He’s like, mister D’Narwhal, I don’t think we have luck.
Speaker 4 · [1:45:58]
Pleasure’s all mine. Would you like to see something cool?
Speaker 0 · [1:46:03]
Well, we’ve been asked that question before, haven’t we? Yes. We have. And the answer is always the same. Yes.
Speaker 4 · [1:46:12]
This is debt collector. Oh. I throw it into the fire. Boom. And oh god.
Speaker 0 · [1:46:20]
The fire isn’t going. There is no fire right now.
Speaker 4 · [1:46:27]
Come on. That’s that’s a
Speaker 3 · [1:46:29]
rag con.
Speaker 0 · [1:46:29]
You can’t do that. Come on. I see what you’re trying to do. Okay. As it’s swinging through the air, Owen Cooper reaches out, grabs it.
Speaker 0 · [1:46:43]
It’s like, woah. Woah. Take mister collector back, mister D’Gnorwhal. That fireplace is a portal back to Baldur’s Gate. That’s and and the Port Xibalba.
Speaker 0 · [1:47:02]
So I wouldn’t run through that. Shit.
Speaker 4 · [1:47:05]
Good save. Good save.
Speaker 0 · [1:47:08]
That’s how below yeah. The guess that if you are if you ever receive the night song’s ring, you are able to teleport to the night song quickly and then exit quickly through this. That’s how Volo got here. Gotcha. 1st time invited
Speaker 4 · [1:47:26]
The sing the signet rings.
Speaker 0 · [1:47:27]
The signet rings, yeah, allow you
Speaker 4 · [1:47:29]
Is that is that transfer.
Speaker 0 · [1:47:30]
But any items can move through it, but any anatomical matter must bear the signet ring. So
Speaker 4 · [1:47:35]
Is that something that is sold here at this establishment?
Speaker 0 · [1:47:41]
You have to make it to to round 2 to acquire that.
Speaker 4 · [1:47:44]
Oh, it’s a barns only.
Speaker 3 · [1:47:46]
Yeah. Barns only.
Speaker 1 · [1:47:47]
You mean it? You got 1. 0, you got 1?
Speaker 2 · [1:47:49]
Do I get 1?
Speaker 0 · [1:47:52]
You should’ve when you went out to do your performance, you did get 1.
Speaker 1 · [1:47:57]
- Sorry. Well, I
Speaker 0 · [1:47:58]
definitely forgot tell you about that. I forgot to tell you about that. Before.
Speaker 4 · [1:48:01]
Faf starts playing with his ring. I was like, it’s it’d
Speaker 1 · [1:48:06]
be pretty cool if this works
Speaker 4 · [1:48:08]
because I’ve had a Signet ring
Speaker 3 · [1:48:09]
since the beginning of the game. I don’t know if you knew that.
Speaker 0 · [1:48:11]
That 1 won’t. It’s definitely
Speaker 4 · [1:48:15]
It’s my family ring.
Speaker 3 · [1:48:16]
It’s different. Yeah.
Speaker 0 · [1:48:19]
I’m just
Speaker 4 · [1:48:19]

Speaker 3 · [1:48:20]
It’ll take you back to your family’s 1 now.
Speaker 4 · [1:48:24]
Just trying to fit in. I’ve got some fancy clothes on the Signet ring. That was, like, my original inventory.
Speaker 0 · [1:48:30]
Right. Sorry. Forgot to get it to you. Well,
Speaker 4 · [1:48:35]
good good save, Chap. Anywhere any any any non teleporting fires? Because I still would like show you gentlemen something cool.
Speaker 0 · [1:48:42]
Well, like, as you said, this is a blue flame fire. It’s just if you, like, go all the way through it, but we’re we’re enjoying it. It’s it’s heat. Just don’t walk through the flame, but if you wanted to burn your axe for some reason, you could do that here.
Speaker 4 · [1:49:00]
At this fire?
Speaker 2 · [1:49:01]
Yeah.
Speaker 4 · [1:49:04]
Why’d you catch it?
Speaker 0 · [1:49:05]

Speaker 4 · [1:49:08]
Ah. So do we can place an old?

Speaker 1 · [1:51:19]
a little little thing of oil in my backpack that I can use.
Speaker 0 · [1:51:23]
We can do a
Speaker 1 · [1:51:24]

Strange folk are aboard the Pegasus these days. They put me at unease, especially this 1 dwarf. Ah. But isn’t that the life of a seafarer? Anyway, when will we resume our hunt for Aremag’s treasure?
Speaker 0 · [1:51:58]
Captain Ortimay Swift.
Speaker 1 · [1:52:01]
Oh, fuck. This guy might not be there.
Speaker 3 · [1:52:03]
Actually, it’s just He’s
Speaker 1 · [1:52:04]
just 1 of the bros. Chill bro, maybe. Should we not steal his lightning bolt thing? Yeah. Maybe not.
Speaker 1 · [1:52:10]
Or maybe we should. Should we?
Speaker 3 · [1:52:11]
Maybe we should just try that 1 now.

Speaker 0 · [1:52:20]

Speaker 1 · [1:52:20]
What do
Speaker 4 · [1:52:21]
you think?
Speaker 0 · [1:52:21]
Should we replace it with oil or should
Speaker 2 · [1:52:23]
just leave it. I think I think this guy’s chill.
Speaker 1 · [1:52:26]
That’s probably the bro move. Unless I slowly put the oil jug
Speaker 2 · [1:52:31]
back in the
Speaker 3 · [1:52:32]
backpack. He’s gonna
Speaker 2 · [1:52:35]
be so fucked up when
Speaker 1 · [1:52:36]
he finds out Ortimay is dead. Is Ortimay dead?
Speaker 0 · [1:52:41]

Speaker 0 · [1:52:57]
So you got smoked by a witch after it. What what what what had happened was Calypso’s hut Mhmm. And then Bonzo comes flying out of it and sees Faf with a scimitar orbate his neck. And then that’s the whole thing, and then red wizards attack with the goblins.
Speaker 4 · [1:53:21]
The red wizards.
Speaker 0 · [1:53:21]

You probably could because it’s not that big of a deal because it’ll just break her trust with you maybe. Or it might you you can go grab her and bring her down. She’s right there. I can’t grab her because I grab her a lot to, like, give her medicine and shit. And if you grab them too much, it’s like a reverse desensitization thing where they actually just don’t like you.

As the that chant is unfolding, as you can see Old Tin Top now sitting in the corner just shaking his head and smiling, Rafe Brightfin is joining in on the It’s alright chant, maybe perhaps chanting the loudest. Gus Galloway is just cackling kind of loudly. Owen Cooper and Vesper are still just pissed, and they’re refusing to just stay in the channel.
Speaker 4 · [2:11:51]
Faf does not like it when he’s being laughed at or he thinks anyone’s laughing at him.

Speaker 0 · [2:12:48]

Speaker 3 · [2:14:55]
Do you vote?
Speaker 0 · [2:14:58]
I don’t vote in the 1st or 2nd rounds, but as you know, I do cast the final vote after the advocacy of the 3rd round. Speaking of the 3rd round, the boys are about to get the pant out. They’ll do a funny good suit if I were you.
Speaker 1 · [2:15:28]
Yeah. Do you have any
Speaker 4 · [2:15:33]
suggestions on the drinks? We’ve been doing a lot of this jiggly juice. I’m not super familiar with the menu here. Anything else I could buy a round of for the whole bar?
Speaker 0 · [2:15:44]
I mean, the canoe blast is a pretty good time. The canoe blast. Yeah. Nice. Everyone does.

I’ll saddle up next to Lilith. What have you been up to?
Speaker 0 · [2:16:12]
Well, I’ve just been kind of sitting here, and I I did overhear something that I thought was interesting. Well, I don’t know. Maybe I misheard it. But Gust and Owen and Summer Mogham, they were all talking about Jacques Leflore, but I don’t know why.
Speaker 1 · [2:16:38]
What were they saying about him?
Speaker 0 · [2:16:40]
I I didn’t really get it, but they said that he’s dead. No. He’s alive. I mean, they were confused seemingly about that person’s status.
Speaker 1 · [2:16:57]
Good intel. You hanging in there?
Speaker 0 · [2:17:00]
Yeah. Okay. I feel I’m sorry missed your ball.

Speaker 0 · [2:17:24]
Thank you, mister t. And with that, the lights burn dimmer, the monkeys drop their cacophony, the curtains on the stage slam shut thickly, and a moment later whisk open thinly, revealing Old Tin Top sitting on a stool mischievous as ever, and says, I think we’ve set a record this year. Maybe 5, 6 people, covered trout, went to bed. Funch of all night is here, you know what that means. It’s time for a nightcap and a night song.
Speaker 0 · [2:18:19]
Oh. We are now reaching the 3rd round of the night song. There can be only 1. Please remember that there is no grand prize at the end. There is only the music and the love that flows from it, no matter what you play.
Speaker 0 · [2:18:41]
And, of course, that your name will be put on the plaque and all for all eternity if you win. And, of course, anyone that makes it to the final round of the night song is officially inducted into the Midsummer’s Night Song. Old Topsi will give them their tattoo to prove it for all of eternity that they are a member of the Night Song. But there can be only 1, and so we enter the final round. As per ancient tradition of 284 years ago, this round will be judged by the Advocates and the muse.
Speaker 0 · [2:19:28]
Now I know we have some 1st timers here tonight, so I will tell you what that means. After each of the 3 last contestants play their song, we will hear advocacy from their biggest proponent as to why they should win. Mhmm. Based on that advocacy, we will then deliver the decision to the muse, and the muse shall decide the winner. Without further ado, the announcement of the final 3, once there was 12, then there was 6.
Speaker 0 · [2:20:18]
There was Vesper, There was Owen Cooper. There was Gus Galloway. There was Isilrod Gurglestrom and Summer Mogham Rafe Brightfin. And now, once the ballots have been tallied, there is Owen Cooper, 1st 3rd appearance. Rafe, Brighton, and Isilrod Gurglestrom.
Speaker 0 · [2:20:59]

Speaker 2 · [2:27:14]
Is that more sake?
Speaker 4 · [2:27:16]
This is spared off ice citrus.
Speaker 2 · [2:27:18]
Is there more alcohol in there that’s beer?
Speaker 4 · [2:27:21]
I don’t know.
Speaker 2 · [2:27:22]
It should be. I don’t know. Okay.
Speaker 0 · [2:27:34]
Owen Cooper comes out, and same as ever, he just he just delves right into his thing. But this time, he he sounds like this. It’s classic.
Speaker 2 · [2:27:48]
Nice chirping tune.
Speaker 0 · [2:28:05]
Throbbing my This.
Speaker 4 · [2:28:08]
Wait. Take a sip of that.
Speaker 0 · [2:28:10]
I thought
Speaker 4 · [2:28:10]
it’s not fucking gas. You put ice on ice.
Speaker 2 · [2:28:15]
Yeah. It’s delicious. I
Speaker 1 · [2:28:18]
mean, a classic drink.
Speaker 0 · [2:28:23]
And as y’all as this song is playing, you’re realizing that everyone as this song is playing, you’re realizing that everyone sort of like the thumb there people were thunderstruck. Now people’s eyes are, like, turning into cat’s eyes, and they’re just being drawn in to the sound that’s coming off of the strings as if they’re beckoning to come in come in here closer.
Speaker 4 · [2:28:49]
Can I roll to be intentionally disillusioned and start booing? 18.
Speaker 1 · [2:28:55]
You are
Speaker 0 · [2:28:57]
not pulled
Speaker 3 · [2:28:58]
in. Booze.
Speaker 0 · [2:28:59]
Yeah. Booze.
Speaker 4 · [2:29:01]
And nobody wants sad music. Boo.
Speaker 0 · [2:29:05]
And, typically, that would pop a stir.
Speaker 4 · [2:29:08]
I’m super persuasive.
Speaker 1 · [2:29:09]
But everyone else can’t hear so in trance,
Speaker 0 · [2:29:12]
say we’re in trance.
Speaker 1 · [2:29:31]
And
Speaker 0 · [2:29:41]
slowly that music fades out as the tuning of other instruments comes from backstage.
Speaker 2 · [2:29:52]
It’s got a whole orchestra line of them.
Speaker 0 · [2:29:55]
I have to do it for once again.
Speaker 3 · [2:29:57]
Garage band out. So they can’t be banned. Yeah. And
Speaker 0 · [2:30:03]
Owen Cooper exits the stage, and it at least half the audience is dazed as if they would kill a man for Owen Cooper. They would do it to him for
Speaker 1 · [2:30:20]
him. Damn.
Speaker 0 · [2:30:23]
Shit. And with that, Old Tin Top says, we’ve now reached our final contestant. Mr. D’Gnorwhal, would you do the honors?
Speaker 1 · [2:30:36]
Of an introduction?
Speaker 0 · [2:30:39]
It’s it’s now or never, man.
Speaker 1 · [2:30:42]
He’s not ready.
Speaker 0 · [2:30:45]
Alright. Very well. No. No.
Speaker 3 · [2:30:46]
We will
Speaker 0 · [2:30:47]
march forward. The hype man is absent.
Speaker 4 · [2:30:58]
Good people. Good people. Lifterbox, quiet your children. Chain your goats for history itself has wandered into this hall. From the halls beneath AI swan.
Speaker 4 · [2:31:12]
Don’t don’t do it? Okay. Oh.
Speaker 5 · [2:31:14]
No. No.
Speaker 0 · [2:31:15]
No. No. Do it. It. It.
Speaker 4 · [2:31:17]
Hey. With with that Ravel. Ravel. Ravel. Ravel.
Speaker 4 · [2:31:20]
Ravel. Your ears. Your voices. Your whatever you planned on taking home. So stomp your boots, raise your tankards, and welcome the pride of the mountain halls.
Speaker 4 · [2:31:32]
The beard with the ballad, the legend with the lute, the incomparable Isilrod. Whoo.
Speaker 0 · [2:31:40]
Whoo. I’m proud it goes.
Speaker 2 · [2:31:53]
Symposium folded itself like paper skin, drifted down the river behind Tin Tops. Someone said it was over, someone said it never happened. Wrote it down wrong anyway.
Speaker 0 · [2:32:12]
Back of
Speaker 2 · [2:32:13]
a broken blued string. This fret still hung. God, I remember it being useful. Summer night song is happening again. A field that might not exist.
Speaker 0 · [2:32:32]
Bards are all wearing borrowed faces
Speaker 2 · [2:32:34]
and they’re singing through their teeth. Fake flowers in their pockets, fake grief in their lungs.
Speaker 0 · [2:32:46]
There’s a barn in the
Speaker 2 · [2:32:47]
woodpile holding its breath like it’s part of the verse. Every note sounds like a memory. Someone paid for it twice. They forgot I’ve spent.
Speaker 0 · [2:33:05]
They forgot I’ve stopped all these fake ass bars. Fake ass bars. Singing borrowed light.
Speaker 2 · [2:35:49]
Symposium still happening. It’s just a little bit quieter now. Inside the walls, inside the wrong parts of our sleep. I keep I keep hearing applause. No 1 is there.
Speaker 2 · [2:36:16]
I keep on writing it down because otherwise it disappears. So fired.
Speaker 3 · [2:36:29]
Incredibly good.
Speaker 0 · [2:36:32]
Wow. Amazing. The the garage band backup. That a great That
Speaker 4 · [2:36:40]
was excellently. That was incredible.
Speaker 0 · [2:36:43]
Okay. We’re gonna imagine that we’re 45 seconds ago, and when you said the Symposium, and then even 3 minutes ago when he said, Ras Nie, you often do perception checks or whatever for the audience. That was incredible. That that that lit the the crib
Speaker 1 · [2:37:00]
on top. I got a nat 1. Alright.
Speaker 0 · [2:37:02]
You don’t see it. Actually I was so fucking locked the cheating monkey, and you’re like,
Speaker 1 · [2:37:08]
that son
Speaker 0 · [2:37:08]
of a bitch is. You’re is it the bananas? Was it all about Oh, next 1. Bonzo, who was not playing backup technically in in the scene. Oh, it’s just pure charisma or or a multi instrumental bar playing at once.
Speaker 0 · [2:37:30]
Mhmm. You noticed the hint of the word symposium. 3 people jitter greatly. They’re cool. They all recompose within a flash, but they do jitter.
Speaker 0 · [2:37:54]
And they are Owen Cooper, Vesper, and Gus Galvalde. Vesper. We don’t know what the jitter is, but there’s a jitter there.
Speaker 1 · [2:38:06]
Owen Cooper. No 1 else really Vesper and who? And Gus? Yeah.
Speaker 0 · [2:38:10]
A jitter of recognition, I would say. Vesper?
Speaker 3 · [2:38:15]
Knew what it do. We were locked
Speaker 1 · [2:38:16]
in with Vesper.
Speaker 3 · [2:38:17]
Yeah. He was he’s too chill.
Speaker 0 · [2:38:26]
And with that, old Tin Top shakes your hand, Isilrod, and the fur of its paw touches your daughter’s skin. And you Keep petting it because it’s really hot. You get a tremor sense of a great mentor bestowing you with admiration that he would never show to the audience regardless of the outcome. And then he turns. He goes, beautiful.
Speaker 0 · [2:38:59]
Everything, as always, here on this hallowed sacred ground was beautiful. I thank everyone for coming to participate. But again, there can be only 1. So now let’s hear it from the advocates. Tell me.
Speaker 0 · [2:39:19]
Tell the audience. Tell yourself. Tell the spirit. Tell the night that hangs high and the sun that hangs low. Tell the world that is within this Juke Joint and Casino why somebody should win.
Speaker 0 · [2:39:34]
There could be only 1. Okay. At this point, all 3 of you 3 will be the 1 advocate for either Owen or Rafe or Isilrod. And you have to give a real advocacy pitch for why that person should win. Y’all can decide who is assigned to which.
Speaker 0 · [2:39:57]
You won’t be necessarily in your character, but you will have to give a 32nd to 1 minute speech about why your person should win. If you give a bad speech on purpose, it’s going to increase the odds that that person wins. Ultimately, what will happen in deciding whether or not who wins the night song is that based on the advocacy, you’re gonna get a modifier, a 1 d 6 modifier from somewhere from 0 to 6 where you’ll get assigned, oh, that
Speaker 2 · [2:40:36]
was a really great speech,
Speaker 0 · [2:40:37]
so you’ll get 5 points. Or it was a bad speech, you’ll get 2 points. But if it’s an intentionally bad speech to try and increase Isilrod’s chance of winning, it’ll immediately go to 6 points. Okay? Does that make sense?
Speaker 0 · [2:40:50]
Mhmm. Then from there, Isilrod will stay out. He won’t know the result. The advocates and myself will go to a different room, and we will you will roll d tens, each of you, for your person. This is the muse deciding, and then add modifier, and we have Ras Nsi score 1, the the knight song.
Speaker 1 · [2:41:19]
Shit. Gotta take Rafe.
Speaker 4 · [2:41:23]
Oh, it’s Call him. Alright.
Speaker 0 · [2:41:24]
We’re gonna do Rafe.
Speaker 1 · [2:41:26]
He’s my twin flame, so we almost made out of it.
Speaker 4 · [2:41:30]
Which 1 you want? I might be with you there.
Speaker 1 · [2:41:32]
Also, was cucked out already to the The rap. He’s the the light name.
Speaker 4 · [2:41:37]
Janet shook the Who’s a rat?
Speaker 0 · [2:41:40]
It was Drake’s new song, Janeshoe. Played Thunderstruck and Drake. He just said, I think
Speaker 4 · [2:41:48]
think you gotta
Speaker 3 · [2:41:48]
do Isilrod. Do And who’s the 3rd 1?
Speaker 0 · [2:41:54]
The 1 Cooper. The 1 Cooper. Where’s that ranch? All this is to say because it would be too easy to award Isilrod the victory, the muse, the bardic muse will decide based on advocacy. And while the advocates are conducting their thing, Top’s will be tattooing the Midsummer’s Night Song induction to you.
Speaker 0 · [2:42:43]
You can pick the location. It is simply of your choice that has sort of, like, around it, some, like, mysteriousness around it. Don’t I have to
Speaker 1 · [2:42:58]
win to
Speaker 2 · [2:42:58]
get that?
Speaker 0 · [2:42:59]
No. You get it for making the final induction into the night zone. So you now have a tattoo that says you’re inducted into the night zone. The award for winning, as far as you know, is a name on the plaque, the permanent plaque. That is in the casino, which I didn’t mention earlier.
Speaker 0 · [2:43:35]
That’s all all, you know, of the word for the ultimate victim. Are y’all all AI ing right now?
Speaker 1 · [2:44:01]
No. I’m writing notes and shit, but I might be Hi.
Speaker 0 · [2:44:04]
It’s up. It’s up. Woah. Woah. Woah.
Speaker 0 · [2:44:06]
Hold on.
Speaker 1 · [2:44:07]
No. I seriously I’m I’ve got a lot more shit to write.
Speaker 4 · [2:44:10]
Fuck off.
Speaker 3 · [2:44:10]
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 · [2:44:11]
I’m just Dude, I’m just writing down how I feel right now. I’m cooking, dude. I’m cooking right now. Alright.
Speaker 0 · [2:44:17]
You will have until the 3rd beat beat. What’s that Drake song called?
Speaker 3 · [2:44:23]
What was the song?
Speaker 0 · [2:44:26]
Bowen Cooper play? Bowen Cooper play? I will follow you and get off by
Speaker 1 · [2:44:29]
the Yeah.
Speaker 0 · [2:44:29]
I will. Well, y’all we will begin at the 2nd season of the sticks. Goddamn it. No. Noah Cohen will will bop fucking bust through that.
Speaker 2 · [2:44:44]
Have you watched his Documentary.
Speaker 0 · [2:44:47]
That was good. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Alright then, let’s hear it from the advocates.
Speaker 0 · [2:46:29]
Mister Cooper’s advocate, would you please come to the stage and tell us why the ball from Baldis Gate should win?
Speaker 3 · [2:46:44]
Silence. Did you hear it? Not because the song is over, but because not a soul in this room wishes it had ended. For 1 fleeting moment, this Juke Joint forgot itself. The tankard stopped clinking.
Speaker 3 · [2:47:09]
The fireflies seemed to hang motionless in the air, even the restless dead beneath our feet. If only for a heartbeat remembered what it felt like to be alive. Oh. That is what a true bard does. Not in this verses about our brilliance, though I’m sure Gurglestrom has another 12 prepared of anyone still conscious.
Speaker 3 · [2:47:35]
No. A true bard doesn’t demand your attention. They earn your heart. Tonight, 1 song carried everyone of us willingly into the dark and somehow returned us with tears in our eyes and hope in our souls. Tonight, if it’s not a worthy victory, then the music has already lost.
Speaker 3 · [2:48:03]
This virgin is punchier, leaves room for dramatic pauses, and has a cleaner payoff for a bard. Oh, wait. Alright. That was the the last bit. And with that, I would like to throw my hat for Owen Cooper as this year’s Mid Summer’s Night Winner.
Speaker 0 · [2:48:25]
Beautiful. Beautiful. And as you’re seeing that, you’re noticing that a not small percentage of the audience re has regained their puppy dog eyes that they had sort of translate in favor of Owen Cooper. Would Mr. Gurglestrom’s advocate please come up now?
Speaker 4 · [2:48:50]
Might might we save the best for last?
Speaker 0 · [2:48:54]
It’s it’s is Mr. Gurglestrom’s advocate’s time to speak?
Speaker 4 · [2:48:59]
Honorable judges. Today, we heard confidence. We heard devotions. We heard promises shouted into the world and vows whispered into the darkness. 1 voice demanded the world listen.
Speaker 4 · [2:49:16]
Another promised to follow another soul beyond death itself. Beautiful sentiments, beautiful performances, but they were echoes. Then Isilrod stepped forward. He did not ask us to hear another man’s story. He asked us to hear our own.
Speaker 4 · [2:49:35]
His fingers found the strings of his lute and then something impossible happened. The instrument ceased to be merely wooden wire and another voice rose beside it, not competing but completing a melody that should not have existed. Ancient craftsmanship intertwined with something altogether new. Yep. It was as if the song itself refused to be bound by the lens the mince of a single instrument.
Speaker 4 · [2:50:00]
And in that impossible harmony, he sang the words none of us wished to hear. Not that there are bad musicians among us. There are not. Every soul who stood upon this stage has earned respect. But there’s a terrible difference between a musician and a bard.
Speaker 4 · [2:50:19]
A musician can borrow another’s melody. A bard cannot borrow another’s truth. His song was called Fake Ass Bards, but it was never about mockery. It was a lament. A mourning song for those who have forgotten that music is not measured by applause nor the technical perfection nor by how faithfully 1 repeat repeats the words already written.
Speaker 4 · [2:50:40]
It is measured by the courage to stand before your peers with nothing to hide. Every verse stripped away another disguise. Every chorus asked us whether we had mistaken performance for purpose. And every impossible harmony harmony reminded us that true art does not imitate. It creates.
Speaker 4 · [2:50:59]
It watched the room he I watched the room while he sang. No 1 laughed because they had been told a joke. No 1 fell silent because they had been scolded. They fell silent because they recognize the truth. Truth has a strange magic.
Speaker 4 · [2:51:11]
It makes us uncomfortable before it makes us better. That is what a bar is for. Not to flatter kings, not to repeat legends, not to borrow another’s pain. A bar gives voice to the truth that everyone else was too afraid to sing. Mhmm.
Speaker 4 · [2:51:24]
Fridge.
Speaker 1 · [2:51:25]
This is
Speaker 4 · [2:51:25]
what Isilrod did today. He risked being misunderstood. He risked offending those he called friends. He risked losing this very competition because he believed the song mattered more than the prize and that that is the purest expression of artist tradition I have witnessed in my lifetime. When these halls are empty, when the judges have gone home, when our names have been carved away by time, no 1 will remember who played the cleanest scales.
Speaker 4 · [2:51:53]
They will remember the day a dwarf stood before the symposium, laid bare his soul, and reminded us what a bar is supposed to be. Not an imitator, not an entertainer, a truth teller. If music echoes through the stone, then truth echoes through eternity. I have no doubt that long after every 1 of us is gone, the Dwarven Halls will carry the voice of Isilrod.
Speaker 0 · [2:52:19]
Beautiful. Beautiful. Gotta be so much AI slob, but it was getting You’re a lot such a phenomenal writer. Faf, you’re such a phenomenal writer.
Speaker 4 · [2:52:30]
Thank you.
Speaker 0 · [2:52:33]
For the symposium drop, you can roll perception again on
Speaker 2 · [2:52:39]
Nat 20? 15. 15. 15.
Speaker 0 · [2:52:45]
Again, no 1 really reacts except for that you emote or perceive. Oh, and Kilburg again sort of blinks. Gus Galloway sort of blank. But more importantly, you do clearly perceive Vesper Rolke, her reaction, whereas Bonzo saw as just
Speaker 1 · [2:53:17]
sort of a fidget or whatever.
Speaker 0 · [2:53:19]
You can tell that she is just being like, oh, he’s doing it. They’re doing it. And she’s, like, kinda, like, glancing around trying to see. Who
Speaker 4 · [2:53:31]
Also is checking. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 0 · [2:53:32]
Correct. It’s more of a fidget of, like, oh, what’s happening? Maybe not the most coup of spies.
Speaker 4 · [2:53:39]
K.
Speaker 0 · [2:53:43]
Thank you, mister D’Gnorwhal, eloquent and lengthy as ever. May we have mister Radfin’s advocate for purchasing?
Speaker 1 · [2:54:08]
Everyone, please look at me for a 2nd, cause I need to say this out loud, and I need witnesses. Rafe Brightfin. Though standing here tonight, I think his name should be tight, Finn. Reef me, daddy. Let me tell you about that 2nd performance.
Speaker 1 · [2:54:30]
Something landed in my chest, and it just hasn’t left. I’ve been walking around this whole night completely thunderstruck, lit up, carrying it around like a live wire under my shirt. You don’t recover from a thing like that. You just learn to stand while it happens. I’ll be honest with you all because he already knows this man is my twin flame.
Speaker 1 · [2:54:53]
We haven’t touched. We haven’t even fissed. And I swear to every 1 of you, it’s felt like he’s been living inside of me since that 2nd song. Somewhere deep somewhere deep inside of me, and he’s been refusing to leave. He told me himself during Flip Cup musical chairs, that whole beautiful chaos of the night.
Speaker 1 · [2:55:17]
He leaned in and he said, he’s never kissed a man who didn’t have gills. I’ve been drowning in those ocean eyes ever since. Going under on purpose, waving off the rescue, choosing the water every single time. Oh my god. When he when he sang that song, Janice, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1 · [2:55:41]
And and he got to, if I call up your shoddy right now, she’d be picking up. Yeah. I swear I swear he looked right at me. So, Rafe, I have I have 1 question. I’m asking in front of everybody, so I can’t dodge it.
Speaker 1 · [2:55:56]
Did you lose my number? You’re just too too scared to dial it. It doesn’t even matter what you answer, because here’s what I know. Every other act tonight performed for this room, you performed into somebody. You reached into a person and you rearranged them.
Speaker 1 · [2:56:16]
That’s that is the whole night song, and it belongs to you. I yield my town in my entire heart with it. I had AI polish it, but it was
Speaker 0 · [2:56:37]
It was AI polish.
Speaker 2 · [2:56:39]
It was
Speaker 0 · [2:56:39]
incredible. Alright.
Speaker 1 · [2:56:42]
With that,
Speaker 0 · [2:56:43]
when he took the advocates, grab a detonant adhesive. Fuck.
Speaker 3 · [2:56:51]
Detonant adhesive. And we gotta
Speaker 0 · [2:56:53]
go away because he’s around. Can’t watch it happen. We gotta hold him in in suspense.
Speaker 3 · [2:56:57]
Okay.
Speaker 1 · [2:56:58]
Can he just leave?
Speaker 0 · [2:56:59]
Easyrod leave. Sorry. It makes more sense that way.
Speaker 1 · [2:57:05]
Yeah. Can I get
Speaker 4 · [2:57:05]
1 of those upper decky pillows? Thank you.
Speaker 0 · [2:57:10]
Read, that was 1 of the most horrific things I was
Speaker 4 · [2:57:16]
Hilarious strategy on
Speaker 3 · [2:57:17]
that 1.
Speaker 0 · [2:57:18]
Yeah. That was it was how much was AI of yours?
Speaker 3 · [2:57:25]
I wrote a nice prompt.
Speaker 0 · [2:57:26]
Okay. I
Speaker 1 · [2:57:26]
was gonna say that
Speaker 0 · [2:57:27]
your dreams is definitely the least AI, which does give him points. Heatz was the best, but, also, the most well prompted by if we were if it was an AI competition in terms of prompting, he definitely won. Thank you. There’s no question that was the best prompt even though you’ve gotta get an editor in there. What do you mean?
Speaker 0 · [2:57:50]
Didn’t have no time.
Speaker 4 · [2:57:51]
No time. That was
Speaker 0 · [2:57:53]
it was just. It was, like, really good. You could have just ended at, like, 50
Speaker 4 · [2:57:57]
My last my last comment to it was I love it. Make it 30% shorter. And then the shorter version, didn’t like, so I just went back and read the long 1. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 · [2:58:05]
The long 1 way too long.
Speaker 4 · [2:58:08]
The the the long 1 the long 1 had some subtle little hits in there that I wanted to be in it. You know? Like, the the the
Speaker 1 · [2:58:16]
follow you was, like, about the
Speaker 4 · [2:58:18]
note about following people into the dark and yeah. I don’t I don’t
Speaker 3 · [2:58:21]
You had yeah. I don’t know if I could have come up with something in my own. Like, short of time.
Speaker 0 · [2:58:28]
The way the way this is gonna go, though, is that you will need to roll a d 10. And if you do that now if you want to, but you’ll need to understand how it’s gonna work. And then you will roll a d 6 however many times the points you get awarded for your speeches, and you can take the highest number of those d 6 of that d 6. So you’ve got if I award you 5 points If
Speaker 4 · [2:58:58]
I roll a 10, I get to roll 10 d sixes.
Speaker 1 · [2:59:01]
Can I
Speaker 4 · [2:59:01]
pick the highest 1?
Speaker 0 · [2:59:02]
No. No. No. No. You’re gonna roll a d 10 no matter what.
Speaker 0 · [2:59:05]
That’s an equal variable. The the maximum point score you can get is 16. Okay. You’re all gonna roll a d 10, and then the difference in the variable is going to be how many times you can roll the d 6 to try and get the highest thing.
Speaker 3 · [2:59:21]
Based on your speech. Right.
Speaker 0 · [2:59:23]
Based on your speech. Okay. The way it will be unfolding is because I am extremely anti AI and disappointed in all of y’all
Speaker 1 · [2:59:36]
for that. Gave us, like, 5, like, 5
Speaker 0 · [2:59:39]
In reality, you should have no seconds.
Speaker 1 · [2:59:43]
In reality, have good, dude. You we need time to cook.
Speaker 0 · [2:59:46]
Right. And the AI cooking isn’t it’s it’s not you cooking.
Speaker 4 · [2:59:50]
It’s not true. I it was mostly me. No no ideas in that. We’re not me. That was way too high for me.
Speaker 4 · [2:59:57]
It was it
Speaker 0 · [2:59:58]
it was the best prompter. And so if it wasn’t a high score, you would have the high score. But you are getting inversely impacted. Christ.
Speaker 4 · [3:00:10]
This bullshit. You’re gonna punish him.
Speaker 0 · [3:00:11]
No. I’m not gonna punish any of y’all.
Speaker 4 · [3:00:14]
You’re punishing
Speaker 3 · [3:00:14]
him. But maybe he intentionally did it, so then he would get
Speaker 0 · [3:00:17]
The die will bring you home. And then The odds are not gonna change that much.
Speaker 4 · [3:00:21]
K. Good.
Speaker 0 · [3:00:24]
Read will get 3. You will get 2. You will get 1. And and and the reason is solely that least AI Most AI. Best AI.
Speaker 2 · [3:00:40]
Worst AI. Worst
Speaker 0 · [3:00:42]
AI. Mine wasn’t even fair.
Speaker 1 · [3:00:44]

Speaker 0 · [3:11:18]
felt good. I was like brain day. I came back up

still not knowing what I was gonna
Speaker 0 · [3:11:22]
do. What was that song based?
Speaker 2 · [3:11:24]
I just said I wanted an angsty folk song that included, like, 5 certain lines that I gave it.
Speaker 0 · [3:11:30]
Was it based on Like, the Tin?
Speaker 2 · [3:11:33]
No. I said I wanted it to be, like, more neutral Milk O’Gnorwhalz. Okay.
Speaker 4 · [3:11:41]
At 1 point, there was 1 where you really
Speaker 0 · [3:11:43]
threw some chaff mango in there, and I was like, was
Speaker 2 · [3:11:47]
different than that.
Speaker 0 · [3:11:48]
But I was like I always That was neutral milkshake. I just
Speaker 2 · [3:11:52]
said folk punk. And then finally, was like, none of this makes sense. Make it sound like neutral mocha, though.
Speaker 0 · [3:11:57]
Yes. You’re getting dangerously close to I love you, party bar.
Speaker 1 · [3:12:06]
But Yeah. That could.

An incredible sense of life.
Speaker 4 · [3:12:16]
Was it was
Speaker 0 · [3:12:16]

Speaker 2 · [3:12:17]
ridiculous stroke.
Speaker 1 · [3:12:18]

Speaker 4 · [3:12:37]
Cheering about something. I, like, closed my eyes,
Speaker 2 · [3:12:39]
and I just let it just let it slowly
Speaker 4 · [3:12:42]
go out of my hand, and it was a 6.
Speaker 0 · [3:12:44]
After a perfect 10, which you needed a perfect 10. He got a perfect 10 and then a 4. I was like, well, that’s bad.
