Summary

Admiral Cutter,


I am pleased to report that while tests are still ongoing we have had incredible initial success. Your tabaxi scientist Crawls-Trough-Walls and the rest of his team believe they are close to isolating whatever element within the Blue Blood that disconnects a subject from the weave and the future. Dr Crawls has demonstrated capabilities of reducing the divinable qualities of a square block of stone to near zero. The object defies even practised divination attempts. The team are saying that live trials may be next. Whatever you have gained here has leapfrogged our research by decades.


Your humble servant,


Lt Hiram


If you're still wanting to pledge for the Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here!

0:36.9

As far as I can tell, there is only one way out,

0:40.2

and that is to kill Devil Strad. P. Pia. Father Lomik is so close, you could reach out. His hand is

0:50.7

next to you. I look up at Castle Ravenloft and under my breath I say, God damn it,

0:55.8

you're rubbing off on me. And then with one hand, I reach out and try and grapple Father Limock.

1:02.4

Then I let the spell go off. Hector, sitting across from Pyrrion, you see he gives you a quizzical look, bleeds blue, what do you mean?

1:14.0

I was having a conversation with, I guess, the Cantonese delegates.

1:20.0

Oh, I remember them saying something about this as well.

1:23.5

Right, yes. Apparently, those who bleed blue are something of the fatheless, whatever that might mean.

1:31.9

And I find after the, I look down at my body, I guess after the experimenting, some things have changed.

1:42.0

One is I cast light in my hand and then quickly snuff it out.

1:49.5

Connection to Peña is weakened.

1:53.3

I can do little things.

1:55.0
