A group of individuals visit a lighthouse to seek help from Cassius, who may have a way for them to go underwater undetected. They encounter Claudio, Cassius' son, and Cassius himself, who is paranoid and suspicious of them. They discuss imposters and the source of the problem. Claudio reveals that his mother drowned and there is more to the story. The group mentions their mission to address issues in town and the involvement of witches. Cassius becomes defensive at the mention of a witch named Oma. Yeah, you're all the way up there. We literally pay up. Alright, we're an opportunistic bunch. So, we're going to see... Cassian, can you get us down under? Yep. Cassius lives... the lighthouse on the edge. Lighthouse on the edge. Lighthouse on the edge of town. He's... a character. A little skittish, so... Let him know I sent you. Is there any... How are we breathing underwater? I have bubbles! I mean, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it seems like the rain kind of bounces off it. I don't have... We might have, like, one or two suits for Scuba. Uh, no. I don't think we'll need it. Alright, well. Right. Anything else you want to share? I don't. I have given you everything I know. I will keep chatter to a minimum so there's not much crossover. I will keep up appearances so that again, there's not any kind of worry and try and make sure that Beth Bey and the others don't hear about this and try and you just land a campaign. Alright. Well. Well. Is there anything else you need? Ask Catherine. I have to run. Alright. Alright, I guess we're gonna go to the lighthouse and get some results. Alright. Lighthouse. You don't have to stealth to the lighthouse. You don't have to stealth to the lighthouse. If Boris wants to stealth, have at it. No, I'll wait. The hell? You won't make your way to the lighthouse. It is on a little bit of a cliff edge. And when you make it to the other side so the woods were on the inland part of the outskirts of town. The lighthouse is on the out, like on the coast. And it's up a little hill. Up a little hill. There's like a diverging path as you go. So like one path goes down to like a little beachy area and you see like craggy rock. And then the other goes up. You see a chair set up down on the beach with a fishing pole it looks to be. And you see that the light is on inside the lighthouse. Your self. Every time I visit the lighthouse I feel like I'm in Scooby-Doo. Like I just have permanent flashbacks going in. Like in the TV show. I guess we're not talking. Well, Perry's not here at the present moment so I think we are. Right behind you. It is. He's got a long charger so it's fine. That's his group. Alright. Oh, I can't get it. Oh, your sound. Literally nothing is going on. I didn't know how it was going to interfere with the mic. That's a post-production. I'm going to work on that later. This one's flipping red. I've already did. It's pretty cute. Maybe that means recording? Oh, no, no, no. It would be a green light. Were they charged? One pack wasn't open. It was brand new. I hadn't opened it yet. Hello? It means probably battery low. Hello? You just saw the giant spike that happened. I guess it was that one? I thought ours were on the same one. The one that you have now and the one down there have got yours. No. The one that's down there has got mine. I was watching the spikes go. Oh, I thought you plugged yours into your phone. There's only two plugs. Two mics per plug. Yeah. There will be another plug because I got another two. It's a two. Two costs less than one. After this, I got a sound trap. It's free right now. I'm going to fuck around with it and see what we can do. Cool. Let me pull it up. There's the lighthouse. Where's the lighthouse? Where's the lighthouse? Lighthouse. Okay. You approach the lighthouse and there's a cute little door knocker. You don't see anybody on the top part of the hill. You said you knock. Oh, I knock. Before Terry can do anything. Offices are fun though. Yeah, offices are fun. You don't want someone to come in. You close the door. You lock the door. That's a fire hazard. The... It takes a couple of seconds and you see a shadow pass over the little porthole on the door. A couple seconds later, the door swings open and you see a 5'10 sea elk slash triton standing before you. Almost like half sea elk. Not even really. It's like half triton, half half elf. Or just half elf. Which kind of... No, no. Is a half elf. Half elf, half triton. Kind of like a seabay, basically. Standing before you. He looks like he's an active folk. He's kind of got like pants and little sashes and like a sash over. Most of his bare chest is showing with like a shell necklace. His hair is like a seaweed. It's like a bright seaweed green. Half hangs over his face. The rest of it is like cropped on the side. Hi, can I help you? No. Hi, can I help you? Hi. Um... Birch sent us. He said you may have a way for us to get down under the sea to go kind of in a more revert sense. More I don't know. I think you're looking for my dad. Probably. I'm Claudio. Claudio Weird. Um... He should be... Actually, I'm surprised you didn't see him. He should be down by his spot. My favorite spot. There's nobody there. You hear behind you the gravel path. Grandma, how are you? Get out of my yard. Oh, God. I won't, Claudio. Get back in. Get back in the house. I got this. And you all turn around. Would you see a cocktail? A pale-skinned wood elf running up toward you. Toward you all. Fishing rod and hair waving about. Get away from my son. I told you that they'd come for us. And you see Cassie and you see Cassie's weird. Well, you assume to be Cassie's weird. Quickly approaching you. Claudio kind of steps in front of you all and puts an arm out and is like, Dad, it's okay. They're friends. They've birched at them. Cassie's like, that's what an imposter would say. What do you mean, imposter? I'm telling you, they're out to get us. Doolingle? What? Snapele? Snapele. The dark people. Oh, that came out so wrong. What the hell's the idea? The dead walkers. The walking dead. Imposters have lizard eyes? They have all kinds of eyes. There's pitch black ones and then there's the ones that can do like 360 while the other thing's straight. There's the lizard eyed people. Some people, some of them have no eyes. That rock right there can be an imposter. Walking us right now. I like this one. Don't try and get me on your side. Don't try. I don't want to get out of here because there's magic up in this building. Church sent us. It's not me. It is not me. Probably not. Can we drill this? Okay. Socializing. We were sent here for you to help us get under the sea without being detected. Being detected by the nerves underneath because we need to get more information on what is going on. Why would Birch send you? I don't know y'all. We're here to find somebody else and tell their side questions off into this to help the area. And also get more information that will help our main question. We want to get the imposter. Do you know the source? Do you know the source of the imposters? That's what we're here to find out. Somewhere has groomed me to your disdain. Too much time in the kitchen. I'm a converted one. Happy to be converted. Do you really think that y'all can destroy the source? Can we finally be free? We're working on it. We're working on it. Your words have never been spoken. Chloe is just there like bitch. Dad. Dad, they're here to help. Could you please stop? I'm sorry, we have to think about someone trying to get our line. Like different people. Sometimes there's a wisdom in grumbling. It's not just the ones in the theater. You have to watch the ones from the land and the air as well. The birds aren't real. Whatever makes them up. I don't think, I mean as an aside as an aside as an aside to do a shot it's kind of paranoid. Ever since my mom died she's kind of been off the rocker a little bit. Like some somebody's gonna come get is out to get us. My mom died. If you don't mind. I've never said it to my mom. Me either. I don't know, I've never heard of her. Me either. You know, we always thought it was gonna be the daddy issues, but it's the mommy issues that brought you all together. Well, I've never heard her name. I don't know why. I don't know who she said it to. Mine are equally different. Equal opportunities. What? Your father knows. He's like, um Say mom. Say mom. That's her, that's her cherry name. What? She uh She drowned. Oh. For the audience Terry is giving him a very skeptical, very quizzical look. Do you like to roll in sight? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, in sight. In sight. I'm sorry. He's half Triton, right? Terry looks to be half Triton. Yeah, um I don't think he would anticipate this skepticism. Get it? Um I really would. You completely believe him? Lowkey, he's kinda hot. I was looking at the picture, I'm like No. I dropped the picture in the discord if you wish. Nineteen. Nineteen? That's what I was like Oh, I got crappy, crappy in sight. How? Eighteen. No, you got a nineteen, that's better. No, no, no, I roll. I'm not rolling in sight. I'm sorry. Oh, no. So he continues, he's like there was a squall one day she was at, she got pulled out there's nothing we can do. The pair of you can tell that there is some there is more to be said. He's not fully, he's not being fully honest. I'm assuming she was a fishhack. Terry. Terry. We're going to stop being sensitive, actually, right now. She could be doing something. This is true, so we're going to stop. I'm not going to stop, Terry. They've learned part of my tribe. You'll learn, for next time. Or not. Sorry about the sensitive question. Oh, my dear prejudice. Plucked away by the squall. Hoodwink? Well... So really, we're here because Birch told us that we could speak in this way if possible. Because there's a lot of old stuff going on in town that needs to be addressed, especially on the other side of things. Well, I'll tell you, I don't know why my son is lying. That damned witch. Those damned witches used their magic. They took her mind and she and she left. He points towards the cliff edge. You see the jagged rock below. Just short. You saw that? I didn't need to. I know what that kind of magic can do. What's that animal? Say that again? What's that witch? Is it Oma? Oma? He kind of recoils and becomes very standoffish. I've never heard that name in my life. Inside joke. There's no way that you react to a name like that. It's that very spastic energy. Yeah, there's no way that you have not heard that name before and you react like that. He's very familiar with that name. Sorry, if anybody else is rolling. This is not the truth. He is not speaking the truth. Was it Oma? Or was it one of the kids? Was it Omar? Was it Omar again? I've dealt with too many necromancers. After we deal with this, vacation. Vacation. Too many necromancers? Too many. I can talk too much. Vacation. Too many dead things. The whole thing dead things. Yeah. Yeah. She's kind of on our little list of things to address. So, any information would be appreciated. I would like y'all to leave. He starts heading into the lighthouse. Claudio. Come. I'll be right in bed. Then looks back over to you. Down on the beach. Start the edge a little bit. Splat the water three times. Herman will come meet you. Okay. He's going to go back in the bubble. I'm going to put Herman bubbles around my bubble. So Herm next to me, on my shoulder, in bubble. Double bubble. Double bubble. Bubble butt. He'll be able to help you. Don't worry about him. Thank you. See now. You know how it is. Yeah. And you definitely get the sense that Claudio fully does not believe what his father is saying. I would like to talk to him. Yeah. He seems to know more than his ramblings hold some truth. Yeah. Far and few between. But there is some truth in there. Well. Well. Let's stay with him for a second. Yeah. Be careful with him. You always know what else to say. I like everything you said. Look. Here he goes again.
