From the desk of Dr. Edward Rittleson, item 4 A, a small locket, when opened, shows two portraits of the same woman, whom the patient swears she does not recognize. In one portrait, the woman's eyes are dark holes, out of which a black, viscous icor weeps. This icor spills from the frame while the locket is open. When completely or partially closed, it slithers over to the second portrait, and enters its mouth in a seemingly endless recursive stream.
The portrait, despite the patient's denial, Very obviously depicts herself. Welcome to Ash and Snow. We got some
Ouroboros out here today.
Sounds like it. It's gross. Anything involving Iker is probably something you want to stay away from. It's just goo.
I want to stay away from it, but apparently it doesn't want to stay away from
me. Yeah, I, uh, these things keep getting more creepy as, uh, we progress. And I am here for it. Look,
we're already in the back rooms, it can only get so much worse.
The real question is, will you find each other? Again. Oh no, it depends on if this
dude's maps actually work.
Just look for the fire monkey. It can't be too hard. Look, the fox and the fire monkey.
It's like walking around, there's a purple torch walking around and moving. It's gotta be kinda obvious where the light's coming from. So I have to just point this out because I just had to Google it real quick. Do you want to know the chemical that makes fire burn purple? What? Potassium, you
monkey. Is it really?
Yes, it's straight up potassium. You've eaten so many bananas that your on fire is purple. That's
where the bananas go. That word works
very well. That or you've just been shoving cream of tartar in your hair constantly. That's what,
that's what the banana peels. Yeah, that's
why the drops have been there. Oh
man.
We begin. Back inside the keep of Kanipo the Slim, where Varyn walks with a strange man down long, empty hallways. The man has identified himself as the Chronicler. He's covered with scars of his attempts to map the keep. Though sharp eyed Varyn can see that these maps make no sense. With hallways overlapping, spiraling out of control, and disappearing. Where they should be clearly leading to another room.
As he walks along with you, he mutters, No way out, can't find the way out, thinks he can find the way out. Hehehe, he'll see, he'll see in time. Well, the interesting
bit is that so far, neither of us are getting there, and well, It's uh, not really gonna get anywhere if we just kinda stand here. I mean, the maps are certainly useful, but they're really gonna get us that far. Well, what way were you
headed next? I head where the slim directs me, because we are all his thralls in here. This is his world, and I've come to know it quite intimately. I can navigate somewhat, though I'm not sure I can take you where you want to go. In fact, sometimes that's the point.
Well how do you know where I do and don't want to go here? As far as I can tell. I don't know where I'm going, so I can't really tell you where I want to go, other than forward, finding where the other folks went off
to. I don't know where you want to go. You know where you want to go. That is why you will never get there. You, you don't understand. You foolish, silly child. He reaches out a thin, decrepit hand and pats you on the head. It's
kind of a bit of a confused look. First of all, I don't know you too well. The headpats ain't gonna that's Mia's thing. And he's the one she's the one that uh, thin man is kind of looking for. So, uh, we'll save those for her. But, well, so you're saying the thin man is your boss,
sort of, right? More like my jailer, my master, and yours now too. You just don't accept it yet.
Well, no, because as far as I see it, he's just being a coward. He knows why we're here. The only reason he locked me up away from the others is 'cause he knows I can help the others figure out how to take care of it. He's a
coward, but do you know why you're here? Do you even know? Can he bow the slip?
I know plenty about his legend in lore. I know he has a certain object we're looking for and I know he's been terrorizing a town that don't really deserve it. So, well, I guess if you want the real reason I'm here, it's to put 'em into whatever the Faye have for a grave.
You will learn. You will learn. Just as I had to. I did not come here. I did not want to be here. But he has kept me here. And I have learned about him. I know his secrets. Well,
how about an exchange? I help you try and find your way out of here. Then, maybe exchange some information to myself. And you tell me about him. And this place.
I will agree. But only because I want to watch you fail. I want to see the desperation. In your eyes, to see the hope that I once
had, too. Just kind of set a hand on his shoulder and, as in return from the head pat, just kind of pat his shoulder twice and, Well, I'm going to be real sorry to disappoint you on that one.
You'll see. Come. He leads you down a hallway where there's another turn. Follow along behind him? You go down there and you see a series of paintings down a long hallway. Do you know from whence? Well,
from, uh, just kind of pulls out his notebook a moment. Uh, from the best I can tell, he was some sort of fey creature of some sort that evolved into this area. Uh, found his way over into Seven Arches, and then from there, got pushed on back into here by whoever, I assume whoever built the arches, but I don't know for
sure. That we were taught when we learned about the Slim in school, all those many years ago. But nothing can be created, which just simply existed. He points at the first frame, where you can see a darkness starting to come into form. He simply appeared thousands of years ago, in the realm of Nighthold. He did not even know what he was himself. Leads you to another painting. Where you see him interacting with these very disturbing looking figures.
He thought himself a bogeyman, matching the slender form and unsettling appetites that they have. But they fed on souls and fear. Whereas he was drawn to shadows and drinks their umbral auras. He leads you to a new painting. The bogeys rejected him. They did not see a brother. In kpo? No, they shunned him and so he left, but all for the better. But that is when he learned to accept himself. First he sought the shelter in the court of Count Rena, the eldest of shadows and chaos.
He shows you a new painting with dark Lord kind of figure and kpa there. And yet he still felt alone curdled into resentment and he began to see himself as the progeny. of a new Fae race, destined to rule a realm of their own. He only needed to find out. And so he has brought in servants, you could say. I have long forgotten my name. I call myself Mr. Look See. And as he says that, he looks at you with his wide, lidless eyes.
I was gonna ask if that was a count of the eyelids, but felt it was a bit, uh, a little bit rude. Uh, suppose if we're exchanging names, can't say that I remember my own name myself. If you're looking for what I call myself now, simply Baron, nothing
more. Two others there are. Yes, I've seen them, but I stay away. Deziriak, the experimenter, and Liko, the butcher. Oh, your friends should pray that they do not meet Liko. I once saw her attach a human onto a horse. You
sure that wasn't just a, just a centaur? I know those, like, those do exist here, so.
Oh, this was no mere centaur. This was new life. And if she finds your friends, she will do much worse to them. In another room, a shadowy woman dressed in a black and white pinstripe lab coat eyes Mia. Holding a bloody dagger. Kneepo is mine! You will not have him!
It's okay, I don't really want
him! I will tear the life from your soul!
I step in front of Mia. I put Mia behind me.
I step upon a Freya. I put Freya behind
me.
I
step in front Oh wait, I'm not there.
So let's go ahead and roll for initiative. Mia's first with a 18, Vin with 16, Freya also with 16, and Liko with a meager 12. Luckily you all get to go a little bit before her. What do you do?
So Mia takes takes some time and she evaluates the situation, looks around, sees that Freya and Vin are ready to protect her. She then In a, a cloud of stardust, poofs into her human form, taking a step back as she does it and she casts shield. Just to give herself a little extra protection, because she is scared.
That makes sense. Laika is a very scary creature. Next up, we have Vin.
Vin, unsure what to do, not really understanding. We'll take a step up and just start whacking it with the polearm twice, just right. Her face, uh, I, uh, panicked. He strikes, or 21 to hit on that first attack. 21 will succeed. We get a nice 6 damage, uh, on that first hit. And the second strike he spins it around trying to get some, Momentum, and we'll hit with a 20. For an additional, 11. Damage.
Not really sure if he should, like, pull out the fire or anything like that, he's just going there trying to test the waters, trying to figure out what this person's all about. But, finds himself panicking almost, within his movements and the way he is
acting. Alright, perfect. Freya!
So, I will start off my turn by taking a movement action. I will move ten feet to my right. To sort of make sure that Vin is to keep myself in front of Mia and make sure that Vin isn't in the way of my spell. And I am going to cast Briny Bolt as I, um, sort of pull these briny bolts of water, like, you can kind of see the sort of gre almost greenish seawater I pull off of my blade and just toss at this person. For a
24. Uh, 24 will succeed.
And, uh, the creature is blinded for one round. Ooh, okay. Uh, the creature can spend an interact action to, uh, wipe the salt water from its eyes, ending the blinded condition. Okay. But it'll be six bludgeoning
damage. Alright, she takes it. She then uses one action to cause the lights in this room to start to flicker and dim. This makes her automatically concealed, even to you creatures who are able to see dim light. She then casts a spell on herself. Gaseous Form. She turns into a vaporous state, loses any item bonus AC and other effects and bonuses from armor, and uses its proficiency modifier for unarmored defense. Gains resistance 8 to physical damage, and is immune to precision damage.
Can't cast spells, activate items, or use actions that have the attack or manipulate trait. It also gains a fly speed. She's also still blinded. Yes. Yes, she is. That will be all for her. As we go back to the paintings that Mr. Look See is showing to Varan. Uh, did
you make these, or is this Kanepo's
artwork? This is Kniepo, chronicling his history. Great, he fancies himself an artist. He forces me to watch. Soon you will beg to look at these paintings, to find some brief escape from the monotony. It's the only thing that will keep you from madness, is engulfing yourself in the master's brilliance.
Well, I can engulf him in brilliance pretty easily, if that's what you're looking for. You just gotta Pull up a lantern from his side. He
chortles, uh, to himself. Heh heh. Light. Oh, all of you think that light will help? Well,
I wasn't so much preferring to light as, uh, the oil inside.
Oh, many have tried to end the kinipo, but they failed. You think that you are smarter, more magically inclined than the elves? No,
I don't have any magic. I got a gun, and I got a bird. I got a sword, I guess. I don't use it that much. But nah, one thing I'm real good at is reading people. And, well, Kniepo's not exactly a typical people I would refer to in quotes. There is one thing that I know about, uh, people that are willing to go to lengths of filling a hallway with their own art. Is they tend to come looking for the people that light it on fire.
Your underestimation of him will be your ultimate undoing, as it was with the Elves. They tried to hunt him down. They even were able to catch him. They could not see how important his work was, stealing their shadows, experimenting with them. They too thought that they could put an end to the Kniepos work. They even encapsulated him within this very tree, and he gestures all around you. And now, The Slim calls it his home.
Do you think one who both easily escaped their prison and reclaimed it is one that can be trifled with so easily by Lantern Oil? I think
one that's as vain as him would come running to try and save his artwork. At the very least, it might give us a pathway to finding our way out of here due to his, uh, distaste of the destruction of his art. See? You've fallen into this little spiral of warship and fallen into him, but well, that's not what he likes now, is it? He likes you to be afraid. He wants your shadow, like you said. Sounds to me like if he wants some shadows, he needs some bright lights for them to be cast by.
And I think, well, agitating the fella might just get us to him. You get to have an audience with the boss man that you, uh, so adore. And, well, he's been bugging a friend of mine. And I've not taken kindly to that, so. No, the elves might have had magic. They might have had a way to trap him in this tree. I don't need that. I just need to put enough cold iron in his head that he can't pick it
up anymore. Oh, you can try. You can test his vanity if you want to. But I assure you, you will do nothing more than burn your own hand. Because you still don't understand, do you? As he sneers at you, Viren, we go back to the fight. Against Lyco. Mia, you're back up.
This isn't my favorite person in the world, I'm gonna be honest. So, Mia thinks she's super clever and like, taps the end of her walking stick and just casts light to see what it does. And kind of just like, shoves it at, in that general direction of Creepy Scary Lady. Okay. Does it do anything? Does she have a reaction? She
does not have a reaction, she is still in gaseous form. However, she'll no longer be concealed, uh, to you all as you are no longer in dim shadow. Freya,
what's the best thing for me to do at the moment? Protect yourself.
Okay, got it!
And like, she, she, staff in one hand, uh, kind of like Gets ready to throw a punch as best she can, but she's gonna stay in her little, like, backed away area behind her shield. I think I should hold
shield up. Okay, then. Oh, when
I think of a gaseous form, I think of something very flammable. I'm not gonna try to fight the smoke to fight the gas. I am going to, one action. Pull out a torch, another action, light the torch, and the third action to throw the torch. That is my plan for this turn. Okay. All three actions. I'm just gonna go,
You throw a torch at her feet. Unfortunately, though she is in a vaporous state, it does not make her any more combustible. As now we go to Freya. That's just
the end, there's no re I had no response to that.
Oh well.
She's a gas cloud, what do you want? We tried!
Oh, oh
well.
Well, I am going to Cast produce flame, uh, pull this sort of, uh, reach into the, the light that Mia has and sort of pull away some of the flame of it and toss it at this woman
Mia is in awe and thinks you're the most magical person right
now, and that I have to roll the concealment, right?
No, you don't. Now that Mia's Light spell as well as technically vin's Torch at her feet. are no longer leaving her in, uh, dim light. For a 26. A 26 will hit. Good job, Freya! For
5 fire damage. And as I do that, I will siphon off a little bit of the fire and sort of bring it around me in my arcane cascade.
Okay. She takes the fire damage. In her gaseous form, she flies past both of you to land behind Mia. Dropping her gaseous form at will, and then stabbing at Mia. I knew it.
Alright, I'm really gonna protect myself. Do you have my shield
up? She then, uh, tries to stab you with a dagger. Okay. Ow. First strike is a hit. Yeah, sure is. Doing 12 piercing and cold damage. She then strikes one more time, with a natural 20, doing 24 damage. Oh, I'm dead. Mia, your initiative moves right before Lyco, as you enter Dying 2. Help. As her comrades watch Mia fall, we go back to Varyn and Mr. Look See, who is again starting to go on a diatribe about Kniepo. You want to defeat him, but what you do not realize is I want the same thing!
I've wanted it for so long! I no longer wish to be here! I never wanted to be here! Even able
to leave? If you could find your way out,
could you leave? I've never been able to get out, because I know what keeps me here. I know what keeps you from your friends. And what's that? You just have to listen! You have to understand! Well, show me how to. Because what you don't realize is that Kniepo is a creature of rage now. Though he did escape, though he is very powerful. He harbors a deep resentment of the Elves. He is the one who created the Obnubilic Curse. He is obsessed with revenge, and your friend is at the center of it.
He goes to the last picture, which shows Kniepo's fingers wrapping around Mia's moon shaped fox form. The Obnubilic Curse was just the start. It was just an immediate test. How many Elves? Do you think died from it? Well,
the easy answer
is too mannie with her. He can do so much more and you don't wanna
be here. So why would you want to keep me from
helping her? I want you to help her, but you have to understand why he wants her. Well,
this is just a shot in the dark here. The moon's out at night gives everyone a shadow at night. He lives in the darkness. It's dark at night. He blots out the moon. It's all dark. Issue is, he hasn't thought that far ahead. The moon's gone. There's no other sources of light at night. There isn't any shadows for him to feed on. He's gonna starve to death. Not exactly the most thought out process here. As you said, he's a creature of rage. Ain't thinkin
right. Wow, you understood what took me years to comprehend. Perhaps there is a chance. That Baron just interrupted himself. That
was the most immediate and obvious thing I could ever think of. Oh buddy, this is not looking good for my chances on 5th. Like, if this is my if this guy's my way out of here, I'm
screwed. Well then, now that you know why he wants her, you know why it is so imperative. That you keep her from him, and this is how you do it. He controls this log. Every step that you take is mechanized by him. But he doesn't do it actively. He has set its own set of rules. Rules that he can bend, but we cannot. Not unless you understand. You see these scars. Do we live in
a society?
You know why I stopped mapping?
Because you couldn't get anywhere. There was no point in it. No. You
just change your maps on you. It's because I learned how to change the map. As he says that, we go back to the fight for Mia's life. For her soul. I'm dying. Vin, you are first to act. I have
Play leaf. Will that Will that get me up? No? Okay. I will run towards It's this murderer going right, right adjacent. And I am going to reach out for a touch of corruption. This blue flame envelops his hand and he reaches out.
Alright, so you had a DC 18 basic fortitude save, she rolled a 20 for regular success.
Alright, she will still take half damage, this is 2 negative damage, or
5 negative damage cut in half. You believe that she will take this damage, however As you reach out to cause damage to her, you see that it simply dissolves into her. Freaking annoying.
She has resistance. I take it. Fine, I just stab her. I'll try it and show you. This'll be a 22 to
hit. 22 will hit.
And for
9 damage. Alright, she takes the 9 damage. Turn to Freya. I don't
know what to do! I don't know what to do!
Nothing is working! Freya! Mia
is unconscious, so I can I can be in the same space as Mia while she is unconscious, right? Okay. Cause yeah, I'm gonna take the five foot step forward, and bring out my sword as I spell strike and cast Gouging Claw.
As you do that, she uses her reaction. Since you moved adjacent to Shay, she has the ability to teleport to a clear space that she can see within thirty feet.
Even does it for if I just do like a five foot step.
Okay. Moves adjacent. Uh, she doesn't do any damage to your attacks, but essentially causes you to have lost action and moves further away from you. Freya still has her ability to do what she wants with two more actions. Yep, um,
so then it's going to be another Produce
flame.
As I get really angry and I draw on some of Vin's purple fire to just chuck violently at this spirit.
Avenge me! If I'm not gonna survive, at least kill her in the most epic way possible.
That'd be a
24. 24 does hit. For another five damage. With five fire damage. Her shadowy figure bursts into flame. KANIPA MY
LOVE!
However, as soon as she turns into ash, your attention immediately turns towards your falling comrade. As we go back, Tverin and Mister looks. You see, he takes pleasure in your pain. The key to this place is to do the opposite of what you want. You want to get close to Kniepo to strike him down. I see the rage in your eyes. So this place will only take you further away. You wanted to protect your friends, and then you lost them.
Similarly, if your friend Mia wants to escape him, it will only draw her closer to him. She cannot be alone when she does that, for if she does, you will never find her again. So I just
need to think. That I don't want to find them, and that I want to stay. Nope. And then if I continue to try
and leave You can't deceive this place. It must be your true will. That is why I can never leave. Because it is the one thing that I want. Is to be free. I can lie. I can prostrate myself to Kniepo. I've been trying for years. To get closer to him, and so, move away. But these walls can always tell. If you want to return to your friends, you must want to abandon them. You must think of a reason to leave. That is the only way. Just a
brief pause from Varan. Kinda looks down at the weapon in his hands and just, Well, I can give you a way out for sure, if that's what you really want. It ain't gonna be pretty. It's gonna hurt. I make it quick. But, it's not
really leaving here. If my soul has even the slightest chance to return to the river, I would thank you for it. Just promise me one last thing. What's that? Promise me that you will put an end to him.
Well, if that's what I want to do, that ain't gonna be what I can do now,
is it, sir? Now you're getting it. As Varen lifts his gun to Mr. Look See. We go back to the room with Mia, Vin, and
Freya. If she's dead, I'm immediately going to pull a healing potion out of my bag, cradle Mia's head in my lap, and feed her the healing
potion. Okay. Go ahead and roll that healing potion. To
heal 6 damage. Or, I mean, heal
6 health. Mia, your eyes open as the all too familiar taste of healing potion touches your lips again. You'll be at wounded one.
You just sit, like, as, as the healing happens, she just kind of like, poofs back into her fox form, cause she has like, zero control over how long she can stay in it. Mia's a mess, y'all. Dear listener, just understand, Mia's kind of a mess.
Dear listener, Mia is a mess.
A mess. She just looks at you, and she's like, Thank you. I don't really know what happened, but thank you. I was up and then I was down and then she like puts her paws in front of her face and she's like, oh. I'm cute again.
I'm cute again.
I don't know why that took me a second to process. I don't know.
It's
behind the ears.
Take your
6HP and be cute.
I'm cute again. Is she dead? Did we get her? Did you get her? I don't feel like I did much help. Offered much help. Did much help? Just like, huffs.
I'm just like, You just lost a lot of blood. It's okay. Words are difficult sometimes.
I'm not used to using, losing a lot of
blood. This is new. Catch your breath. Take a few minutes. And then we'll look around a little.
She sits and tries to be Zen, like she's watched Vin enough meditating and she just tries to emulate
that.
I'm very bad at it, I don't know.
You chose the wrong role model there.
He looks peaceful when he
does it, so it's gotta be peaceful,
right? Is there anything else that you want to do in this room?
My first suggestion is for Mia to take a breather. Spend a resolve point. Gain your stamina points back. I would like to refocus, uh, but before we get to But before we leave i'm interested to see what she was working on at the table. Get a closer View of it. I think I mean the character wants and I don't know if the player
wants to know I think it's important that we know the player is saying this me is kind of rocks right now
You are looking around. One thing that you find is that there is a syringe filled with minor healing potion.
Do I know this for sure?
Yes, I still label on it.
What? I stabbed Mia. What? Why
would you stab?
What? Don't
worry, Mia. I found something. Stab a syringe.
Oh. You'll find more HP.
Vin just out here giving Mia flaily, giving her random syringes he finds on tables.
You're gonna be the death of me, Vin.
The only other thing that you find in here is her notes. You see sketches that show test subjects with radically elongated limbs, faces stripped of muscle and fat, and other grotesque transformations.
Anything that looks familiar to anything we've fought or seen, whether it was the creatures outside of this area or the Eyeless dog, hounds, creatures that we, we fought near seven arches, or even anything
with a unicorn. Sure, give me a perception check. Public or secret? Perception checks should always be secret. Okay.
At 20 I'm sure.
You do recognize one of the sketches. It features a wooden septum piercing. This matches the description of a missing oak steward, Varna. V
V
Varen?
No, V V V Vreya? Yeah? I I found this.
Go over and take a look at it as
well. I think there was a oak steward who went missing that had a piercing like this.
And maybe if we Bring the information back to them, they can at least have some
closure. You know, sometimes the mystery is a lot nicer than the truth.
Yeah, that's fair. Especially when the truth is this.
Mia just comes like trotting over to the table like doo doo doo doo doo. With
syringes on the neck.
What's up
here? Trying to make sense of some of these notes, but uh, I'm not the smart one.
We should take them. I'm sure Viren would like to know.
Yeah, if Viren and I can take a look at these later, I'd do my best to understand them, but not necessarily my wheelhouse of information.
Alright, do we keep going?
Kinda think we have to.
You ever
play, like, Tag, and you're running around the table, but you guys are running at the same speed, and you never catch the other person? Uh huh. What if we're playing tag with Varyn right
now?
So you're saying we should do nothing? I don't know. She like, cocks her head one side.
I was always told that inaction was an action. Were
they saying it
was a good action? A non choice is a choice.
I mean, if you
want, we can take like, ten minutes. How are you feeling, Meairi?
Oh, I would like to sit for a moment and
Maybe
eat a snack.
Here's a banana.
Is that why you're always flamey? You're just like, um, um, um, um, um.
Yeah, like, take ten minutes, take a breather, take our time to focus, and if Varyn catches up, great. If not, we pick a direction and keep going. Alright.
That, that seems smart.
As you're trying to figure out what to do, we go back to Varyn, now alone in the hallways.
Kind of briefly setting aside the looksie's body, kind of shifts through his coat a moment, pulls out what basically looks just like a large keyring of what appears to be like wooden symbols on it. Just kind of shifts through a couple, finds one, snaps it off, sets it over top of the body, just a little symbol of Erasmus set onto his chest. Turns back over to the paintings a moment, and just starts walking back down from the last one he was set to towards the first.
Well, gonna be hard to trick myself into wanting to leave here, but we'll figure it out one way or another, I suppose. Uh, but he just walked down to that first painting with the conception of Kanipa with that big darkness and just kinda set himself down, cross legged, looking back up at it. And here's a question for you, Pete, that I'm gonna let you interpret this however you want. Can Varin roll an esoteric lore check on himself?
That is extremely interesting, and yes, I absolutely want you to be able to do that. I'm gonna blind
roll this and just let you tell me what Varan realizes about himself. Matt won. Matt won. Matt won. Tell him a lie. Well, it didn't play any fanfare effects, so I think I'm good.
You are looking at this depiction of Kinepo, which you've noticed all of the paintings have this kind of shifty Ness where there's like a light bit of movement that never seems to conclude and in this one it is just like a picture of Pitch black with a creature coming out of it the creature that you've come to know as Kniep'oh is Struggling to be created basically and you realize that you two have The same thing going on a struggle With personal identity, a crisis of self.
And I think that as you are looking at this painting, you're not so much thinking about returning to either of your friends, any of the party members. The thing you're thinking about is, do I have a connection with Kinnipo? And that is one of those thoughts that It's kind of intrusive, where you don't want to consider that you do. And it's because of that, that as you are looking into this picture of the void, that it starts to look back at you.
And suddenly you are no longer in this dim hallway. You are in a room that feels wooden, but is entirely black. And as you are sitting in this room, your hands Brush against the floor, and you see that your fingertips are Blackened with ash.
So is this where you're hiding now, or is this just where I'm ending up
next? Welcome to my hate room. Who is the voice? Where is Varin, and will he ever see the party again? We'll have to find out on the next episode of Ash and Snow.
