S4 Bonus 6: Dax Reviews Season 4

The party learns the name and a little history of the boy they saved, as well as the situation in the desert before sending him off south to Duskhollow. They continue their trek northeast and, when they take a break for a meal, run into a group of travelers. Aware that another confrontation with the guards is possible, Trix takes them up on their offer to trade textiles for some of the group’s dried meat. However, the offer is rescinded when the travelers realize Eight is a construct and not a person in armor. They hurriedly leave the group puzzled, hurt, and without goods.

They continue onward, until eventually they come to a large crossroad where a building called The Greywater Inn is bustling with activity. Eight takes Jimothy and Bessie to the stable and locks up the cart so Trix and Rou can get some food. While eating, they strike up a conversation with a nearby family of Gnomes who share that they're headed to Duskhollow to see the sights. As the conversation comes to an end, Trix spies a suspicious looking individual in the crowd. However, it’s an announcement from the door of the inn that is more concerning.

CW: Minor gun violence. Please skip 2:30 to 3:02, and 5:00 to 5:42 if this would be triggering for you. Your safety is important to us. 

The guard has drawn a strange weapon on the party, and attempts to take control of the situation by firing it into the air. A loud bang echoes and the guard levels the weapon at the closest to him, which is Rou. Trix shoots an arrow to disarm the guard, but unfortunately he gets a shot off and hits Rou before dropping the weapon.

Once Eight confirms Rou is not fatally wounded, they level their spoon and their spell forces the guard farther away from the mysterious weapon. As the guard is shoved forward, Rou shoots out an arm and catches him below his jaw. The guard is knocked over and seems to surrender once he sits up, his hands lacing behind his head. Eight demands the guard take his companion and leave, and despite Trix’s disapproval the guard leaves as instructed.  

The group attends to Rou’s wound, and when they inspect the weapon they determine it’s the newest form of technology on Baukora - a gun. Free from the threat of the guard, the party turns their attention to the young boy. While impressed by how they handled the guard, he is skeptical of them but follows Trix back to Eight and Rou. It eventually dawns on Eight and Rou that this boy might be their biggest lead to date.

CW: There is a temporary harm to a horse (later healed) at 5:45 to 5:50 and 34:06 to 34:28. There is also reference to blood/healing wound at 39:36 to 39:52. Please skip these sequences if these would be triggering for you, your safety is very important to us.

The party has realized that two of the riders are guards and they’re chasing a young boy. Trix stops one of the guards by shooting his horse. The second is unhorsed by a daring Rou, who is then forced to grapple with the stranger. Eight, meanwhile, causes the earth beneath them to shift until a wall is erected, stopping the boy from fleeing further.

Trix takes the opportunity to try and get the boy to understand they mean no harm. Eight heals the horse and soon realizes the guard that was downed is dead. Rou attempts to intimidate the remaining guard by letting his wolfish growl out, and at first he seems cowed. However, upon hearing his companion is dead pulls a weapon and prepares to fight.

New to the continent of Baukora, a young Trix stumbles upon a bunch of thieves and con-men. When they inadvertently become involved in a scheme, their tact and cheek impresses those involved, which leads to an invitation to join the group full-time. However, they have to pass a test in order to do so.

Trix is escorted to a hideout, where they are introduced to more of the gang. They are told that in order to succeed they need to be good at three things: Charisma, Deft Hands, and No Liabilities. The next morning the leader takes them to a nearby town and gives them the details of the job. They have to gain the target’s trust and obtain something of value without the target realizing they’re being conned.

The party enjoys a sumptuous breakfast before leaving the palace. Priya takes a moment to personally thank the party, once again apologizing for her deceptions, before heading home. Armed with cult uniforms, fresh supplies and rested donkeys, they set onto the road that will lead them to the Cragsward Mountains.

Moving slowly after a late night of celebrations, Rou takes the reins while Trix and a hungover Eight try to get some rest in the cart. Hoping that Garac or Eriluc might have insight into the Order of Tannyth, Trix checks in and updates them on the next steps. However, they are disappointed to find out that neither has any insight into the situation.

Up ahead, the party spies a dust cloud being kicked up by horses charging down the road toward them. As Rou maneuvers the cart off the road, Eight receives a series of distressed messages from Viktor. Kidohlva is under attack. While they ponder the messages, Trix looks out the window to see that astride the horses are a pair of guards and a teen boy fleeing ahead of them.

CW: Reference to the drinking of blood. Please skip 16:38 to 16:41 if this would be triggering for you. Your safety and enjoyment is important to us.

As the group leaves the witch’s hut, Rou tries again to garner information from Trix about their past. Trix claims they know nothing of what the witch was talking about and assures Rou she probably is just playing with them. Continuing their journey back to the palace, Rou takes the opportunity to address Eight, who has appeared more melancholy since Ari’s arrival.

Later that day, they arrive at the palace and deliver the vial to Sultan Akbar. They watch as he drinks the contents and is pleased to showcase his abilities have returned. Once the trade is completed, as promised, the Sultan shares what he has learned from his Spymaster about the Order of Tannyth. One of the most important items of note is that the group is planning something big, though the Sultan’s spies have yet to determine what.

The rabbit that had caused Eight’s spoon to light up transforms into a woman with brown skin and black hair tied in ribbons, as well as a rabbit fur wrap around her shoulders. As she listens to the group’s reason for their intrusion into her home, she mixes various oils and essences into a wooden bowl. The smells suggest it is an ointment of some sort, and their suspicions are confirmed when the witch offers it to Rou for his wounds. 

Getting to business, the witch bluntly tells them that the cost for the antidote the Sultan seeks is high. She is not interested in cash, or even the bejeweled sword sent with them for trade. She would rather take blood or memories in exchange. Though they can’t be sure what it will be used for, Rou and Trix offer drops of their own blood and Eight gives up an old memory. However, despite the strangeness of the whole encounter, it isn’t until they leave that the witch makes them feel uneasy.

The group, surrounded by a dense fog, begins to hear echoing whispers in the air around them. They’re called liars, thieves and murderers. When they discover that the voice responds to their assertions that they are not those things, they reveal their purpose that they wish to move forward and cause no harm. “Catch me if you can” is the response before the voice goes silent.

As they attempt to find their original trail, Trix makes the suggestion that the voice may be the witch and Rou asks the disembodied voice. The only response is a laugh and the sound of tinkling bells. When Eight calls out that they wish to offer the witch something in trade, the fog begins to thin. Ahead of them is a hut, surrounded by gardens, goats and wandering rabbits. They enter the hut, eyes scanning for traps and tricks.
