Meeting Seth and Erma | Critical Role - Bells Hells ep 94

um K go I I know of a few that have done some research there um let me reach out and see if there's just a moment and she like reaches into her cloak and you see she pulls out a um particular Stone and kind of steps away from the table for a bit a little bit kind of quietly off to the side steps back from the Shadows well um the individual that I know who has some personal experience with isil cross and the ruins of aor is in the midst of an important mission that they have yet to complete um but they said they can send another individual an archist of some kind they said to look for who has also uh researched these ruins said shouldn't shouldn't be too long perhaps gather your things uh maybe they can help take you to a place where this information might be more readily available in the middle of this godforsaken desert you can send us after them to find information hopefully if not you I'll find somebody else for the task but if ludus is still there ludus needs to be stopped if possible at the very least what he's after be destroyed before he can make use of it it's about this time there's a bit of commotion outside and they kind of T door open the uh Garden the outside goes uh members of the Accord uh there is an arrival here says they were sent by a widow Gast is it and the door opens and you see a figure step in uh a human figure looks like male human in his 40s um Shaggy blonde gray hair like a chin strap beard deep set green eyes kind of wearing a bundled slightly too big travel robes and a shoulder pack who steps in uh I'm sorry to bother all of you my name is uh Seth uh Dade I am an archist of the Cobalt soul I was sent by a friend to help just I stepped into something maybe a bit intense I can wait outside oh what was your Seth what Seth Dade do um knowledge of aor yes it has been of particular uh interest to me and two other archists over the past decade or so since the uh ruins have been in conflict between the uh the toan Empire in the K Dynasty uh a number of artifacts and various rumors have been swelling about and for a brief time it was available for research have you been there before I have been it has been a number of years since uh the curus assembly took complete control of the site but uh I I do know a bit so they have control now they do and have had for a a few years do you know of a way to get in to avoid then I have not been there in some time and I have not seen all of the ruins only but a bit of it but uh with enough care and foresight I think we can can probably get to some places safely what are we doing I don't know what exactly oh kind of goes thank you very much arabist uh Dade uh indeed I appreciate you coming on such short notice uh these are Bell's Hells they are um powerful strong-hearted and to be deeply respected champions of the exandrian Accord B ah very well they pleasure to meet each and every one of you and they have just returned from ruus after a very successful infiltration and a series of uh Espionage and sabotage missions upon of the enemy and the Vanguard well I am very curious to hear what is on the moon and uh well so what what do you need from me your knowledge yeah we probably need to know how to get to this place and what do you expect when we're there where to start looking what to bring with us so there seems to be a lot of gadgets like this on the moon and I point to the the thingy if you know anything about loudness obviously that that'd be good to know I I know of him uh he is the highest Arch mage of the curus assembly um and as of late the well the assembly has abandoned the Empire more or less it seems that uh him and a number of members have uh how do you say withdrawn do you know what they've done with the furniture at the I a lot of it mine you do the furniture you yeah it's okay I I'm not familiar with such furn I'm sure the make a good use of it oh yeah of course like pulls out a pair of glasses and kind of puts them on I'm sorry I'm sorry this is what breaks CH yeah Prett used that being said I believe there is one member at the very least that might be available for interrogation if not taken for part of their word um if we are to to find this individual I will need your help in both encircling and holding uh this individual present and pable and you see like this like kind of weirdly awkward figure get a little dark in the moment that catches you off guard just their glasses who would this first of all how many members of the subus assembly are there these Arch Mages there are eight of them eight and who would this individual be best I tell you along the way where are we off to now not aor right now we we're going to find this assembly member yes I I believe I know where one might be and the less that we speak of it the less chance there is of them somehow knowing house I know we sit in a comfortable space here I am uncertain as to what years may be about Fair W all right just the glasses again what now this is LIN right this 100% got it got it 9 years later catching on there baby first the first to the table what's the uh what's the mode of Transport are we talking about that somewhere else as well oh I'm the M of Transport oh we're doing it that way are we oh you got the magic jumps yes I I I am an accomplished saucerer and have used my skills to uh be helpful to the Cobalt soul in our research well stop shouting what he specific spe never listen to anything he says unless he's really angry he's a very sassy old man I think this will be a fun journey together um we are heading to and past the gilled Willows in the silen Terrace uh it's a a small business where I believe this individual is hiding follow me and leads you off out of the alleyway into the center of this beautiful neighborhood the Gilded Willows um eventually pushing through a dense marketplace where um you can see more affluent folk themselves are still walking through with fear Gathering their groceries or making their purchases but there is kind of a a hush that falls over the the air of this city space as we walk can I just say in his head are we in for a fight when we get there or it's me sorry I should have warned you when I this is out loud when I say do not panic I need you to grab this individual and try and hold them and keep them restrained all right should we succeed they will not be a fight and I have a backup plan just in case and this is a powerful Mage physical person armed and dangerous what what uh I truthfully do not know what to expect all I know is um a friend told me where we can find them can't here it is and you approach a the outside of a modestly SI shop thatched roof textured purple curtains in the windows uh flanking the entryway where above a sign hangs displaying the name of the establish establishment in beautiful curse of writing Chastity Nook oh my gosh the CH sorry you can see is Seth kind of address the glasses fast well try to be respect ful do not gawk too much and if possible do not maintain too much conversation with the proprietor um good luck on that [ __ ] it what as you kind of begin to step within the interior the first thing that catches you uh barrage of scents there are a number of uh the smell of scented candles that have mixed like a like a terrifying Sephora Hammer has struck you in the face um there are oils and incense um and as you Peru like the initially long entryway you can see there are all manner of interesting knickknacks and and and keepsakes and uh very gudy furniture and and decorative objects that that line the interior there are tapestries that hang and uh the further in you walk the more nudity that seems to be present on them oh [Laughter] W uh not too many Footsteps in out of the corner uh uh around the area the area we were stepping in you can see from a chair starting forth a a woman in her 50s or so kind of you know mousey brownish hair that kind of Falls in a heavy lock of curls uh big

some good oldfashioned smut it seems uh could you please give them a hand I think you can just go talk with her if you need anything let me know and she goes and sits back down and picks up a book that she was already partway in through and kind of finds her place and begins reading stepping through a curtain to the back there are a number of shelves here have you know a number of empty empty spots but there are books on display um there are other like small look almost like iron NS that have incense kind of you know lit out of them that are kind of giving the room this kind of haze of smoke that sits around it and in the far corner on a stool you see uh a female half elf and probably what looks like her mid 20s or so uh like Curly dirty blonde hair that kind of just kind of surrounds her head like a like a frame like like an archway almost um there's round Rosy Cheeks kind of like a a loose peasant blouse and she's also in the midst of reading a book and looks up welcome um you anything I could do for you uh just look at Seth yeah Seth Seth um kind of looks off to the side and you can see where the curtain was there is a door that's kind of been pushed off to the side and latched kind of unlatches it and slowly closes the door where the curtain is who does that Seth SE yes um we would like to speak with you she's sitting down with their bookos yes and how can I be of service to you Seth stands there looks at the rest of you Bren has his regards you see the herma figure kind of looks forward kind of Frozen in place and there's just like just tension this kind of standoff energy that fills the room Seth thing goes please do not panic yeah what are you doing yeah I'm I swipe my hand along the Chisel and I reach out and I'm going to use a blood cursive binding natural 14 um she probably got it yeah freeze and I'm going to cast command cast command H yeah it's natural 13 and a high save on that I'm rushing with rage I'm taking the hammer and I'm pushing with the hilt against the the wall and then hitting the and then hitting the rod an Athletics check on that all right she make acrobatics on her part 23 23 you go ahead and pin her up against the wall and click it in as you do she says now she Whispers under her breath and moves her hand and uh I was hoping that yeah the arms not the hands [ __ ] uh is going to begin casting a spell counter spell this what I wanted to hold okay been waiting all right I need you to go ahead and make uh making a D20 roll with your charisma modifier um it is a seventh level spell 21 21 that's enough to do it as she begins to make her hand maneuver in a similar way as Seth did and the spell that brought you here to Z Dash you begin to see a familiar kind of teleportation ritual beginning marked from her hand like she's about to just get out of here and you manage to throw your own magical weave into the center of her Casting and the sigil that her hands make just gets Tangled and dissipates you see a bit of frustration and she's already beginning to put another spell in her breath I'm also yep just real quick I'm going to like tilt my head as my eyes go little black unsettling presence she has disadvantage on whatever next thing that's great Go Go De go she hasn't had a chance to react yet yes I have nothing on me but I just Shuffle around in my pockets and pull out a handful of like what looks like dust go and it's uh it's uh Ruby dust and uh I am going to cast seventh level evocation Force [Applause] cage put your back on sweet yeah yeah yeah yeah and it is the first time I've ever done this it is just a full Panic yeah horse cage yeah it's an attempt uh she is going to attempt to count wizard battle um yeah she's only uses a fifth level slot not quite sure what you're doing just sees the Ruby dust come out as you blow it and she's going do that in 18 total [ __ ] oh so but but good looking out Force cage dissipates in that point just all this like small room [ __ ] like like this is this is Magic like full on like like wizard Wing Chun over here just like all right um so finishing that maneuver uh are you going to go now if I can yeah I don't have counter spell but I can for like 3 seconds glue her hand to the wall with seedlings grasping Vine okay that's a dexterity saving throw no that's going to bring it down to a a an eight so I grab her hand and yank it to Ashton's hammer and just glue it there for a for a few seconds I guess I'm going to try and grab the other hand while this is happening and just grab it okay well well one maneuver we're getting out to you go ahead okay I am going to um cast telek this and try to hold her body restrained contested strength check against your um spell casting ability right so go ahead and roll and add your charisma 18 10 oh okay great so one hand is like wrapped to seedling the the the hammer is there and then you to hold her in place uh she's going to attempt to start casting something else under her hands at this point Seth hasn't gone Seth kind of gives a deep sigh and brings hands forward grabs a small beat of energy pulls it across and then releases with a hand grasp a blast of energy that emerges the first thing that happens is your Hammer just falls to the ground right your telekinesis Fades oh what all magical items in your presence all just falls to the ground as an antimagic field fills the chamber she's still grappled by your like like falls to the ground and finishes an incantation uh just as the illusion casts off her body and you see as she puts her hand forward the 20s
