Season 2 ~ Episode 1 | The Gilded Sage

i think my favorite part of the movie is um how they have like kind of funny um like dry humor conversations while they're like fighting each other well welcome to our session one of warhammer the old world role-playing game we are playing a little campaign called the hand that feeds As I mentioned, all of you are, for whatever reason, on this auction boat, pleasure barge, whatever you would call the Gilded Sage.

This is where the rich and luxurious of Talagad bid on maybe illicit items, maybe a little black market trade.

And as we...

If this was a movie, you'd see the camera slowly hovering over the calm water of the river as it heads towards this pleasure bar that's sitting anchored just off the banks of the river.

saying, yes, I have many friends in Tamagad.

Many friends who are... have many needs.

Maybe a few who are... shall you say... susceptible to odd jobs.

I had the opportunity to send four people onto a boat to acquire an item... for my, shall we say, benefactor.

It's funny what people will do when they're running out of money.

As the camera enters the boat, and comes up on top of the main deck, you see four individuals.

Actually, more than four individuals.

A large group of well-dressed nobles, knights in full plate armor.

The, um... upper crust of the talagad society at the top at the the prow of the boat you see kind of a one individual who stands out it's maybe a little bit short human a female with red braided hair as she slumps in the brow of the boat and is um Kind of looking over, pushing, leaned up against the side of the handrail of the boat and looking out at the water, Kala solemnly.

And standing beside her is an elf, also contemplating and looking out over the water.

Dave, would you care to tell me your character's name, what you look like, and what are you doing there?

I am Ethru.

I am an elf archer and I'm a mercenary.

I'm a high elf, so tall and thin and blonde.

And I came here to the Empire to sell my services as a mercenary.

But the, uh...

The indebtedness to the Feuerbach family has left me here captaining this piece of crap.

This barge.

I hate myself every time I think about it.
