Once Upon a Witchlight | Ep. 10 | Raucous Revelry

Morning Frost (0:01)

Greetings, you're listening to Legends of Avantris, my name is Morning Frost, and this is Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Frost, still nowhere to be seen, tore back, taken away to some unknown fate.

SPEAKER_3 (0:19)

You're presuming that the pull is coming towards me. What if in fact, it's the reverse, and that clowns are being pulled into my fist?

SPEAKER_4 (0:27)

I must fuck a troll, too.

Morning Frost (0:31)

Well, I will admit that what prompted us to come to this carnival was something of a situation. We were going to be paid to actually see if we could investigate a little bit and find the patron of an elderly man who grows giant pumpkins.

SPEAKER_5 (0:49)

Oh, no, I think it's the foul honk knights. On behalf of the Honk Legion.

SPEAKER_3 (0:56)

I've killed many of your kind, Honk Knight.

SPEAKER_2 (0:59)

And one of the clowns, as he was trying to get out, tripped and fell directly into Gideon's sword.

Completely running him through. Derek, can you be Clutzy for me?

SPEAKER_6 (1:22)

I'm gonna kill the rest of the Clans if I do that again!

SPEAKER_3 (1:25)

Clutzy won't be the last person I've killed!

Morning Frost (1:31)

Move it slower, Mr. Lankton. I want to try to catch it.

SPEAKER_2 (1:35)

You remember our deal. You come back with a kenku and you can have all the answers you're looking for.

Morning Frost (1:40)

Do you want to steal the Weathervane?

SPEAKER_7 (1:44)

Thinking about stealing that Weathervane, huh?

SPEAKER_2 (1:46)

Standing in front of you is a kenku in a dark blue robe.

SPEAKER_7 (1:50)

We want what's best for the civilian.

SPEAKER_2 (2:05)

You were making your way through the streets of the carnival with a mission that had been given to you by Mr. Light himself. And that was to capture the Kenku, kettle steam, and to bring them back to their wagon in the hopes that they would, or for the sole purpose of being able to have them answer the questions that you had. As you were making your way through, you were, however, spoken to by Burly the Buckbear, who though he trusts in the leaders of the carnival, is concerned because his brother Hurley has gone missing. His questions have not been answered. And he, listening in, eavesdropping as he tends to do, noted something that you may not have picked up on, that Mr. Light offered to answer your questions, but he never said anything about honestly. And that if you wanted honest answers, you were going to need to have something to barter with. And that something was the Witchlight Vein or the Witchlight Hourglass.

He informed you of some people around the carnival who might be able to help you, people to talk to and get a sense of who might be on your side if you could befriend them in some way or another. And it was with that, that you started to make your way through the carnival, heading towards Pixie Kingdom, a place that you had not been yet.

She motioned you to an area behind some of the carnival games. And it is here that she revealed herself to be the Kenku you were looking for. And in the voice of the Candlefoot the Mime, she began to speak to you. And it is here that we start our session.

SPEAKER_8 (4:05)

And before we start, why don't we go around the horn and talk about what curses we currently have.

SPEAKER_2 (4:09)

It's actually funny that you said that. I was just going to ask you to do that. Oh, no. Thank you very much, Rich.

I would like, before we start this session, if you would each go around the horn and explain what curses you are afflicted with currently. We will start with Derek. I'll start. We will start with Derek.

Then we'll move on to Mike.

SPEAKER_7 (4:31)

I'll start.

SPEAKER_2 (4:31)

We will start with Derek. I'll start.

We will start with Derek.

SPEAKER_7 (4:35)

No.

SPEAKER_2 (4:35)

And then we will move on to Mike.

SPEAKER_7 (4:37)

I think the- I'm not done explaining.

SPEAKER_9 (4:39)

We will start with Derek.

SPEAKER_2 (4:41)

We'll move on to Mike. Followed shortly by Rich. And then quickly after by Mace.

Mace in last place.

SPEAKER_4 (5:00)

Mace, go ahead.

SPEAKER_2 (5:00)

So we're gonna, we're gonna start with Derek, and then Mikey, followed by Rich, and then shortly after by Mace.

SPEAKER_3 (5:09)

I don't think we have any curses.

Morning Frost (5:10)

I don't think we have any curses either.

SPEAKER_6 (5:12)

I think they were cleared by Laffy Taffy.

SPEAKER_4 (5:14)

No, you legally distinct.
