Castlevania Drafts
Monument

As they finish their fight, Sypha prepares a spell, telling the man that if he kills Trevor she will kill him. The man says that he thought that she said he was the savior, which she does, but Trevor saved her life. He asks if she was a speaker magician, which she confirms, as well as that they both wish to stop Dracula. The man says that’s good and removes himself from Trevor, officially introducing himself as Adrian Tepes, the son of Dracula. Sypha say that he is the sleeping soldier, which Adrian confirms. He knows that the speakers consider the story information from the future. Which she confirms as she blushes. Alucard explains the story of the sleeping soldier, how they will be met by a hunter and a scholar. Trevor says that no one told him, and Sypha tells him that’s why her grandfather wanted him to stay. Sypha watches Trevor walk away. She asks what happens now, and Alucard says that he needs their help to defeat Dracula. Trevor asks why, and Alucard says that it’s what his mother would have wanted. They are the only ones who can do it. They then all walk out of the catacombs, to figure out how.

A Show of Scrutiny
SAM: Are we going with them or not? Should we stay here? This is not our affair, right?

LIAM: I don't know. I'm having second thoughts about being here at all.

SAM: Well, you sent the kitty, didn't you?

LIAM: Yes, and we're not going to leave without him. Why don't we just--?

SAM: Follow behind a bit?

LIAM: That's right.

SAM: Okay. Sounds good.

LIAM: DM?

MATT: Yes?

LIAM: Is it possible for me, if Nott is holding my hand and leading me, to go full third eye and walk blind and deaf here looking through Frumpkin's senses?

MATT: I would say yes, but you are purely like-- because all you're doing is walking forward and you need someone to guide you.

LIAM: Right.

SAM: And he can't communicate to me either so--

LIAM: I can talk, but I can't hear you. I can talk and hold her hand so she can stop me from prat-falling all over myself.

SAM: Yes. But you can talk?

MATT: He can talk but he can't hear you.

SAM: Got it. Okay. Great.

LIAM: But we've done this before so you know to squeeze my hand really hard if I should pipe down.

SAM: Sure. - LIAM: I’m going to call my cat back to me and I drop the telepathy and I just start tugging you back to the Nestled Nook. Come on, we have to talk about this. We have to decide what we’re going to do.

SAM: Right away. - MATT: Meanwhile, the two of you are upstairs in your own chambers.

LIAM: During all of that, I would have dragged you back here, brought you upstairs. And I whip off my ratty coat, throw it on the bed and sit down on the ground so that I'm eye level with you, Nott.

SAM: Hi.

LIAM: Nott, you and I have to make some decisions right now, okay?

SAM: Now?

LIAM: Yes.

SAM: Why?

LIAM: Well, I know why we said we were coming here.

SAM: Get some booze, got some books, find a little taste of civilization, maybe some better food.

LIAM: Yeah. I didn't say, I also had the idea-- you know, you and I meeting and teaming up has been a good thing.

SAM: Oh, yes, very good. I know everyone else makes fun of your smell, but I don't smell nothing.

LIAM: That's what I like about you. I have been thinking, and yesterday just furthers that thinking, that I don't think you and I are enough. I had the idea that we would come here maybe and find others that we could tag along with, or meet up the way you and I did. But now I think that is a terrible idea! The people we spent the day with are lunatics. I don't think that we can do this. I've changed my mind entirely, and I think we should go, but we can't now because we are stuck here for the moment.

SAM: Under sort of holding arrest or something? We can't leave the city.

LIAM: No.

SAM: But I was thinking about this. The people we met down there and spent the day with: they are lunatics, but they draw a lot of attention to themselves, leaving us free to sort of slink back into the shadows a little bit. It might be sort of the perfect camouflage. No one's going to be looking for a little goblin girl anymore, because they'll be looking at the crazy people, the tieflings running around smashing shit.

LIAM: You know, I had not thought of it quite in that way and that is a good point, but I am not convinced. I'm not convinced. And perhaps we're better off-- maybe I was too ambitious.

SAM: Well, let's give it a day and if things seem a little bit, you know, skinky-doodie tomorrow, we can fritter away in the middle of the day or something.

LIAM: All right. Well, we'll wait and see. While we're here, one thing, okay? No Money Pot. No Rat Food. None of those plays. I have silver, we don't need it right now.

SAM: But we need to replenish the healing potion you used. If we don't have that, then what happens the next you get, in trouble?

LIAM: We're sealed here, and they are watching. We're with a couple of tieflings, a little person in a doll mask, and a dirty ginger. We've got people staring at us every second of the day. We need to dial it back a little bit.

SAM: All right, but how on earth are we-- all right. We can cool it with the cons for a couple of days. But I can't promise that I won't get the itch again.

LIAM: You just talk to me. You hold Frumpkin. Just keep your hands full with Frumpkin, okay? Hold my cat, okay?

SAM: All right.

LIAM: And then this is going to blow over because we didn't do anything! We did something good.

SAM: No! I didn't do nothing, we just went to a show.

LIAM: That's right.

SAM: It was a pretty good show. Up until, you know, the dead people part.

LIAM: But it was a good show, wasn't it?

SAM: Yeah! Well, we'll lay low. Should we pretend that we're still friends with these people?

LIAM: I was going to suggest the same thing. In fact, I think we should go downstairs. They're going to be coming back. We don't want to cause a stir with them, either. We just want to leave if that's what we're going to do.

SAM: Don't worry! I'll turn on the charm.

TALIESIN: Thank God.

LIAM: Okay. Let's get a drink.

SAM: Thank gods.

LIAM: We head downstairs.

MATT: You guys head down. You get to the bottom of the stairs just in time to see Jester, Beauregard, Molly, and Fjord looking across the tavern.

SAM: Oh, thank God you're here and safe! We missed you! Somehow we got separated! Friends.

LAURA: That happens, yes. - - MARISHA: None of this absolves the dodgy goblin who slinked past that first question. Where are you from? What are you traveling from? Why the mask?
 * Caleb tells Fjord that he and Nott came to Trostenwald to relax for a few days.
 * Caleb makes Frumpkin snuggle up to Nott.

TRAVIS: Only because we seem to find ourselves in quite the predicament.

SAM: We're just a couple of friends, strolling around the countryside looking for adventure.

MARISHA: Sure you are.

LIAM: Do you see many goblins walking around cities here?

MARISHA: It has nothing to do with that. People who move from place to place frequently tend to have other stories as to why they're doing it.

LIAM: Well, let me make it clear: goblins are not typically welcome in any cities, that is why the mask.

MARISHA: Well, you're going back to the goblin thing. I'm more curious about the travel thing.

SAM: We have a string of bad luck. We tend to get in trouble in places for various reasons. Some of which is my fault. Most of which is my fault. I have sticky fingers. I can't help myself sometimes. I'm fascinated by little bobbles and fancy pieces of jewelries and *I love trinkets so much!* I just have to take them, and have them with me, and put them in my pockets. It's gotten us in a few scrapes a couple times. Caleb, he is fantastic. Very patient with me, understands. But really it's my fault; it's not him. He's a smart man, a brilliant magician! Have you seen? Some of his tricks are phenomenal, really.

TRAVIS: No, I'd love to.

SAM: I feel bad to because we never stay in one place for him to have a decent shower. - SAM: This is not how it usually works! The person is not really expecting it. This is embarrassing, really. I have the one skill and I failed at it.
 * Caleb calls Nott's stealing a "nervous tick".

LAURA: It's okay, you can keep practicing.

LIAM: There is that one magic trick that you're able to do. Would you like to show them the magic trick that you can do? I pull out a small red clay ceramic bowl. Then I pull out a copper piece. Here, you know the trick, right?

SAM: Yes, I know the trick. Takes a little bit of time, doesn't it?

LIAM: You're good.

SAM: Okay. (clears throat) I do know one piece of magic. Feast your eyes on the sacred money pot of school. If you place a copper piece into this pot and say the magic words-- what’s the magic word, again?

LIAM: Fibulous.

SAM: Fibulous! It will turn into a silver piece.

SAM: For everyone has their own magic word, and it won't work with you. By the ancient order of the school, fibulous!

LIAM: That is a silver coin right there.

LAURA: Well, tomorrow can you make it gold?

SAM: I think it only does the copper to silver?

LIAM: The magic is not that strong.

SAM: Yes, it's a mild magic pot. But if you'd like to purchase it from us, we can sell it to you for five gold.

LAURA: Yeah, but I have lots of money. I don't need it.

SAM: But this is free money, that you don't have to work for.

LIAM: Also, you know, they basically helped us out today. You can do it for one, for them.

SAM: All right, one gold. - LIAM: I am well into my second trost at this point. I can show you a trick. Young lady, if you would assist me please. Step up onto the table.

SAM: Absolutely!

LIAM: Adjust your minds. I begin to weave one hand in a slow circle around the other, and a globe of golden light poofs out.

SAM: I put my hands and feet out in an akimbo pose.

LIAM: A second little globule of light comes out.

SAM: I feel it coming! Hit me!

LIAM: Then two more at the same time come out of my hand. Then they amass upon my little companion and form a similar sized little humanoid of light that then coincides with my little friend. She is glowing golden on a table in the middle of the Nestled Nook.

SAM: (sings)

LIAM: The Goblight, ladies and gentlemen. The Goblight!

SAM: Thank you!

MATT: There's some claps in the back rooms. You see one of the drunken gentlemen has come to semi-consciousness and goes, “That's impressive!” then passes back out on the table.

TRAVIS: How did you learn to do that?

LIAM: I could always do that a little bit, as a kid. I was always good with magic. I had a knack for it. That one's easy.

TRAVIS: That's impressive.

LIAM: Well, thank you. - MATT: Okay, the two of you come to consciousness. What are you up to?

SAM: Get some breakfast, I guess?

LIAM: Yeah, we're already down there. - MARISHA: And you're so concerned with your goblin friend. I mean he's in the same boat as the tieflings.

LIAM: That's a girl.

SAM: Listen, we've all had a rough night. I know that my features aren't necessarily the most feminine. Among goblin kind, I understand. It's hard to tell.

LAURA: I can tell.

LIAM: Everybody can tell - LIAM: I'm going to squat down over with you, privately. I still think that this is a bad idea, but I can tell that you want to.

SAM: Well it's just that-- listen, there's no offense, I enjoy our talks and your schooling and everything, but I haven't talked this openly and freely with other people in months. It's amazing.

LIAM: It really is pretty nice, isn't it?

SAM: Yes!

LIAM: Still, if this goes south, we leave.

SAM: We're the first ones out the door.

LIAM: Easily.

SAM: Yeah. They'll never know who we were.

LIAM: Caleb and Nott.

SAM: Well, don't say that too much. I mean, yes, they do know that we're Caleb and Nott, yes.

LIAM: All right.

SAM: Okay.

LIAM: So we're doing this?

SAM: Yeah, let's just go with, and see where it leads.

LAURA: Can I walk up to Nott?

SAM: Hi! Yes, we weren't talking! (Part 2)
