Gryffin gets Val to hand over her keg of greep and starts pouring bottles for improvised molotovs. As the Constable asks Jayne what such a sweet young girl was doing in the Ass Sailor that night, she casts Sacred Flame on him, the flashforward dissolving as the constable suddenly bursts into flame… Frankfurt admits that he was transporting Holly for ‘Garello’ and flips the interview to ask about the Chained Oblivion cult.

Clothesline reveals that she owed Jayne a favor after the girl saved her life – starting the bar brawl to make a distraction for reasons Jayne didn’t explain. Kingston regales the constables with stories of his work as a prostitute servicing the town’s elderly women.

She was searching for Holly because the girl might have information that could help her calculate Illyria’s next appearance. Gryffin explains she was a princess of Illyria, an Eladrin city which appears only during solar eclipses she had been knocked unconscious by an attacker and left outside the city with no way to get back. Suddenly, the characters flash forward to the next day, where they are interrogated in turn by the town constables. As Gryffin and Clothesline fight and Frankfurt proactively attacks Kingston, Jayne seizes the opportunity to bewitch Holly and Command her to follow her out of the premises. The room predictably explodes into violence. Gryffin begins to make her way towards Kingston but is interrupted when Clothesline attacks her, yelling ‘SORRY, XAVIER! BAR FIGHT!’ and tearing into Gryffin’s scalp with her claws. When Jayne touches a symbol of The Lawbearer, however, Kingston bursts into an expletive-laden rant about how much he hates the Gods. Kingston uses Message to inform Gryffin about the feud, but only confuses her.Īcross the room, Jayne locks eyes with Clothesline and gives her a wink and a nod, before attempting to give Kingston advice regarding his ‘beef’ with Frankfurt. Things become more complicated when Kingston recognizes Frankfurt as the dwarf who seduced his wife. They are transporting the girl, Holly, and Frankfurt is eager to find someone named Garello to ‘complete the delivery’.
SONG BAR ROOM BLITZ PC
One of the dwarves, Frankfurt ( Eric Bauza) is the paladin who had directed Gryffin to the Ass Sailor earlier, the second is Obby ‘The Rat’, Sam’s PC from the earlier one-shot " Critical Role Extra – The Return of Liam!" (Sx15). The tavern's owner, Xavier, intervenes, and things briefly settle down before two dwarves enter with a young red-haired girl, Holly, who matches the description given to Gryffin. Kingston obliges, and then makes a disastrous attempt to flirt with Clothesline, which ends with the towering fighter attacking him. Gryffin, who has been eavesdropping in an awestruck daze, begins frantically asking for Kingston’s autograph - Kingston is coincidentally her all-time favorite poet. Clothesline yells at Kingston to leave the girl alone. Kingston regales Jayne with his extraordinarily boring and self-aggrandizing life story. She declines Kingston’s offer of a beer, asking instead for bread, which after some argument Val places on Kingston's seemingly near-infinite bar tab. Meanwhile, a pale, white-haired girl named Jayne Merriweather ( Liam O'Brien) sitting by herself is approached by a local drow bar-fly, prostitute and one-time successful poet named Kingston LaForge ( Brian Wayne Foster). Clothesline asks for milk and catnip, and takes an immediate dislike to Gryffin’s appearance (particularly her ‘weird eyes’).įan art of Kingstone retelling his story, by Wendy Sullivan Green. She is joined at the bar by regular Clothesline ( Ashly Burch), a Tabaxi fighter whose face is covered in bandages, having come straight from a street brawl. At the bar is Gryffin Earandil ( Mary Elizabeth McGlynn), a seemingly-dignified and wealthy Summer Eladrin half-elf asking questions about a red-haired young girl. Val rushes in and gets to work, on a night that will prove to be unlike any other. The Ass Sailor is notoriously warm, meaning most patrons disrobe and leave weapons, armor and extra clothes in a pile by the door, and the homemade liquor, greep, is infamously flammable.

The young woman, Val, arrives for her shift at the second crappiest tavern in town: The Ass Sailor (once called ‘The Crass Sailor’, the sign has been vandalized and the name stuck). A young woman hurriedly riding through the night hits and seemingly kills an elderly woman on the road realizing no-one has seen her, she hastily covers the body and rides away in a panic. White snow caps the distant Cliffkeep Mountains and the roads. Sam begins the adventure at the foot the of Umbra Hills in Jorenn Village.
