00:00 So
00:02 All right, all right, all right, I've uh
00:27 I may have misjudged my voice a little bit in the previous two videos. I am sorry about that
00:33 I'll see if I can uh boost it in youtube's things. Maybe I did and maybe this doesn't make sense to you
00:40 Anyway, so i've boosted my mic just a little bit more
00:45 Although I don't think it's impossible to hear me in the previous voice videos
00:51 um
00:54 Yeah, so let's get
00:57 Started
00:59 Let's see here
01:03 So

01:09 So
01:11 So
01:13 So
01:15 So
01:18 So
01:20 So
01:22 So
01:50 If you walk my land then heed my laws a warning to those who defy my will strad van zarevich
01:57 Zarevich
02:00 So
02:02 So
02:30 Like a lesson in sword play
02:32 No
02:34 Another time perhaps after you have to grapple with the bandits hiding in these trees
02:39 Then you'll wish you had sharpened your skills. Seriously. Now these woods are alive with bandits. I feel their old gaze
02:46 Prickling at the skin on the back of my neck. Keep watch
02:50 So
02:52 Blades it's a trap here they come their eyes glazed for a fight
03:11 So
03:13 I yield
03:30 Hear me I yield i'm done at your mercy as you plainly see
03:34 I implore you leave what breath remains to me in my lungs
03:38 Leave to me my blood so it might hide deep in these cowardly veins of mine. I i'll flee from here
03:43 I promise you that never to return to undertake thievery again
03:47 Option one yield to you
03:53 I wisdom comes quickly quickly to the last man standing in a fight out of here then run be gone
04:00 number two
04:04 Where your blood and breath reside is of no concern to me
04:08 Now fight and let that be the finish for I shall not yield to the likes of you
04:14 Option one we're forgiving we're a paladin
04:19 I didn't mute that. So let me repeat it just in case it didn't come through yield to you
04:33 I wisdom comes quickly to the last man standing in a fight out of here then run be gone
04:37 now option number two is
04:41 Where your blood and breath reside is of no concern to me now fight and let that be the finish
04:46 For I shall not yield to the likes of you
04:48 I just wanted to repeat it to make sure it's it's all good
04:53 Ah
04:58 Gentle soul we were wrong to harass travelers of such generous disposition
05:02 I'll trouble you no more except to alert you of our camp which lies further down the road a marker alongside the path
05:09 A large stone with an arrow carved upon it will point the way
05:12 May my last words with you be to implore the gods to keep you safe
05:16 So
05:18 So
05:20 So
05:23 So
05:25 So
05:28 So
05:30 So
05:32 So
05:34 So
05:36 So
05:38 So
05:40 So
05:42 So
05:44 You
05:46 So
05:48 So
05:50 So
06:20 We
06:22 So
06:24 So
06:26 So
06:28 So
06:30 So
06:59 Oh fellow which way to the nearest town you're the first traffic we've encountered that hasn't tried to attack us
07:05 I trust you will return the favor
07:11 It is often said in this land that only a fool crosses a gypsy
07:15 And I am a fool by stony blood
07:17 As to the nearest town that would be to the north the village of barovia
07:28 This barovia, is it a vistani town?
07:30 That's option one. Number two is what is the king of this land? We've heard he is a tyrant named strad
07:36 a man much despised by his people
07:39 I think I wind up having to use both
07:42 Ah, no
07:46 Barovia is a place for georgios for those not lucky enough to be born. Vistani
07:50 The boundless world is a gypsy's home
07:54 Ah, but the land is not as boundless as it was once and in places
07:58 In the outer regions of barovia, you will come upon a fog
08:02 beware
08:04 It is a vapor
08:06 a poisonous mist that rots the organs
08:08 Only a vistani potion can get you through
08:11 That is right, here's the tyrant one
08:19 I'm afraid you are misinformed
08:22 for one
08:24 Strad is no king
08:25 Our lord count stradwan zarevich makes few laws and his voice is rarely heard
08:31 He rules from the shadows
08:34 Even so he is the lord the land and the law
08:37 A friend to the vistani and a just ruler
08:40 If you heard otherwise your ears know the voice of an evil man
08:49 And number two your words have the sound of a good sooth for safety's sake I ask you how many
08:55 How how many we acquire your potion this antidote fruit fog?
08:59 15 coins and a potion is yours
09:04 Ah
09:06 But your eyes tell me you do not have such a song
09:09 Worry not
09:11 I am soon to be in barovia myself. You will find me at a tavern known as the blood of the vine
09:17 Later, you may have coined enough and in good faith. I will reserve some of my potion for the honest fellow. I meet upon the road
09:24 You
09:26 You
09:28 You
09:30 You
09:33 You

13:31 So
13:33 So
13:39 So
13:43 So
13:47 So
13:51 So
13:59 So
14:01 So
14:07 So
14:15 So
14:19 So
14:23 So
14:27 So
14:37 So
14:43 So
15:05 So
15:07 So
15:11 So
15:15 So
15:19 So
15:23 So
15:27 So
15:33 So
15:35 So
15:41 So
15:59 So
16:01 So
16:03 So
16:09 So
16:13 So
16:19 So
16:41 So
16:43 So
16:45 So
16:47 So
16:49 So
16:51 So
16:53 So
16:55 So
16:57 So
16:59 So
17:01 So
17:03 So
17:05 So
17:11 So
17:17 So
17:23 So
17:29 So
17:31 All right, all right, all right, so I did a inventory the game
17:39 Uh, I I went through the inventory of the bandit camp
17:44 And uh, I just moved forward no combat
17:48 Which is basically
17:53 Why i'm pausing the game a lot. Uh, I saved about 20 minutes
17:58 I'm going to go ahead and stop here. Uh, what's coming up next is
18:03 The village of barovia
18:06 so
18:09 Village of barovia always takes me a while to completely clear out their enemies and everything, but there are a lot of people to talk to
18:16 um
18:19 Actually, you know what I think i'm going to go ahead and check down the south version of the old slavics road
18:25 I think I missed
18:27 the uh
18:28 Bard, so i'm going to go ahead and pause right here
18:30 And clear the south road. I'll if I get to the part i'll show you
18:35 Pause i'll show you what she says and i'll show you the map
18:38 Um, it's always good to just kind of clear everything
18:42 although
18:44 I mean you you do get like that ring of plus one protection which you got before but most of the stuff is stuff that
18:50 Isn't very helpful and there's no merchant to sell
18:55 uh things at so
18:57 um
18:59 It's the experience that you need for your characters to level them up
19:03 Uh, and again, I I don't really think that speedrunners get to really enjoy this game
19:11 Uh because they have to love them. They don't level up. They they take a lot of
19:16 time
19:18 To figure out how not to take time in the game
19:20 So let me go ahead and pause this recording again and check out the south version of the old slavic road south
19:26 I'd take it back
19:31 Uh, I only moved a few feet and I I kept thinking that I was near the vistani, but I wasn't so the bard is actually here
19:39 the bard
19:41 I love her even though her voice acting isn't the best. I love I love her. I love the character
19:46 so let's go ahead and
19:49 Talk to the bard
20:09 Oh peacock rather since you are of the light and grace of a female ho be hen
20:15 What are you doing in this dead worn land my lady?
20:18 Looking for friends if I may call you that and if I may then know that I am looking for friends with coin
20:25 Do you have any?
20:27 Traveling abroad has left my purse as light as a feather and I am in search of generosity or if necessary
20:33 if truly desperately necessary
20:35 honest work
20:37 Of course, even an adventure would be preferable to that. Are you on one?
20:41 You'll find I can be generous with wine good food and friendly conversation what point you must earn how much do you need?
20:51 There's a limit is there some level of wealth where we need no more
20:59 Well to be honest, my first goal is to find a house that meets my needs perhaps in the village of barovia
21:06 After that, I don't know i've never been very good with plans
21:10 Let's go one it appears you haven't done too badly my lady
21:18 What have you been up to choice two? I for one believe a cockscomb as such as yourself
21:25 Would add flair to the quest will you come along and aid add your blade to the work?
21:30 Number three, you hardly look the warrior best. You find a safe place to polish that pretty sword
21:37 Um
21:38 So i'm going to answer one and then I think I have to choose between two and three and i'm definitely going to pick her
21:43 up and i'm going to bring her to the uh
21:45 In because she's actually very very good. She has lock picking and all sorts of stuff
21:50 In fact, I hate it whenever I have to drop her and I always wind up having to drop her
21:55 Uh one play through I did with just one character
21:59 She did go up at level pretty quickly just so I could have three of the npcs. But uh
22:05 It wasn't really worth it
22:07 Oh and beware if you drop a character you create you cannot get them back
22:16 A little of this and a little of that whatever might add another feather to my hat or a coin to my purse
22:30 Blade book and sleight of hand these tools of mine are at your command
22:35 May we journey together with laughter in our voices and the sound of jingling coin ever closer to our ears
22:42 And there we have the bard, you know, we don't necessarily
22:51 need
22:53 The southern area of the road south
22:56 So I think i'm just going to go ahead
23:00 head up to the uh
23:02 Sign here village of barovia
23:09 Now let me let me get that sign back up
23:15 village of barobia
23:18 And this is where I will bring it to an end
23:22 See you next time
23:26 Oh
23:29 So
23:31 So
23:33 So
23:35 So
23:37 So
23:39 So
23:41 So
23:43 So
23:45 So
23:47 So
23:49 So
23:51 So
23:53 So
