MARISHA: You said two more points? |
MATT: Yes, two more points of bludgeoning damage. |
Make another constitution saving throw, please. |
MARISHA: 11. No, sorry, 12. |
MATT: This time, opposed to the pressure points |
being hit, there is the one smack on the side of |
your head. |
MARISHA: Yeah? |
MATT: This pain surges through the side of your |
temple, and travels through your spine, to all the |
points she had hit earlier, and your whole body |
tenses and seizes for a second. Your vision blurs, |
and your mouth stammers, and you’re stunned for |
the next round. As she lands behind you, and walks |
around to the front of you, you’re unable to, you |
can’t move, you can’t speak. “I can start you on |
this path. You can return to your wanderlust, your |
allies. Our kind learns more in the world than in |
a library. Agree to my instruction, to use the |
skills I teach you, as you return throughout your |
journeys. One day, you too, can become an |
expositor.” You begin to regain control of your |
senses, and your speech begins to slowly return to |
you. |
MARISHA: Okay. I got to hand it to you, that was |
awesome, and I want to know how to do that. You |
beat me. |
MATT: “Very well. Your first lesson begins now.” |
MARISHA: Okay. (groan) |
MATT: She snaps her fingers, and you watch as |
Zeenoth steps back in, sheepishly. “Is it over, my |
dear? Is it done?” “I need you to stand here for a |
second, Zeenoth. I need a body. Let me show you |
the proper pressure points.” Zeenoth’s eyes go |
wide for a second. “I don’t believe–” “You owe me |
a favor. I found her for you, did I not?” Zeenoth |
sighs, sags his head, and takes his cloak off. |
MARISHA: I grab that stool, and I drag it over. |
MATT: “Now, depending on what you wish to learn, |
there are different places where you can pull the |
information from the body.” Over the next few |
hours, working with you, and over time– |
MARISHA: Does she beat the shit out of Zeenoth? |
MATT: You both do. |
MARISHA: Sorry, Zeenoth. Sorry. God, we’re such |
assholes. |
MATT: “Assholes that the world needs, from time to |
time.” |
MARISHA: Yeah. The world does need an asshole. |
We’ll work on that one together. We’ll work on |
that. That’s good, that’s good. |
MATT: “I’ll return to Zadash in the morning. Take |
what I have taught you. "When you feel it’s time |
for more tutelage, return to me. Do not worry. I |
have an eye on you.” |
MARISHA: What do I do until then, do I just |
continue– |
MATT: “Do what you must. Travel the world. Use |
what I’ve taught you. Learn about injustice. Those |
you don’t trust, follow them. Bend them. Make them |
tell the truth and admit their guilt. Find where |
ever corruption is. Root it out and let the system |
do its job. If the system isn’t doing its job, |
