1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker A>You are listening to an atomic broadcasting production. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the feature presentation.

2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker B>And remember, do your part.

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker A>Such as, like, comment rate and don't

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker B>forget to tell a friend to tune in for an atomic time.

5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker A>No.

6
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker C>Where did we leave off?

7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker B>Ah, yes,

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker C>within the nonsensical city of Nithvale, Neros, Alward and Zephyr acquired the Wild Walkers from Demijant, but at a cost and a personal risk if things did not go as planned.

9
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker D>You know what I think would be a fun thing to do on a live stream?

10
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker E>Nap.

11
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker D>No, that would be a weird thing

12
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker E>to do on a live stream.

13
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker A>Just watch people do it.

14
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker E>Watch me sleep.

15
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker A>There are livestreams of people trying to sleep and you give them money to wake them up in horrific ways.

16
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker C>I hereby announce that is weird.

17
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker A>It is weird.

18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker E>Sounds like a weird experiment the Russians would have done in, like, the 1930s.

19
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker B>Pretty sure they did.

20
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker D>I think it would be fun to do a live stream and to have a whole bunch of people and we. We start from zero blank page.

21
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

22
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker D>And we create a one shot adventure on a live stream.

23
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

24
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker E>Like, they like the people. The chat gives us suggestions.

25
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah, the chat would be involved, but it would also be like us doing it together and just be like, all right, go pull up Pinterest, get ideas. You know, let's just slap things together, build stat blocks. And we have a timer. And when timer's out, it's like one shot's done.

26
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, that would be. And then we have to. In the next. We play it.

27
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah, we get the. Whoever wasn't in the live stream building it, they have to play it.

28
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker A>That's fun.

29
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker B>And then you could do it back and forth. You could just do like a. I build yours, you build mine. Yeah, kind of like a. What is it, peer. Peer editing? Peer review. Yeah, peer grading. Whenever you would hand the paper to the next kid down the road.

30
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker A>It could be called One hour, One Shot, Teacher Grade.

31
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker D>Such inspirational pictures on Pinterest. Like this one I don't trust.

32
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, my goodness.

33
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker E>It's horrifying.

34
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker D>I am showing them a picture of a flaming skeleton crawling out of a culvert.

35
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker A>I don't know why, but I want to call that My Dog Dennis.

36
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker D>We have a title.

37
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker B>Please don't.

38
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker E>My Dog Dennis. He's on fire. And also he's a human.

39
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker D>My dog is on fire.

40
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker B>The dog from the Minecraft movie was named Dennis.

41
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, fun.

42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker B>That was fun. He had a whole song.

43
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, did he sing it?

44
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker B>Jack Black singing. Because Jack Black sings in every movie he's in.

45
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker A>Does he?

46
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker B>I think so.

47
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker A>Did he sing in Jumanji?

48
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker B>Probably.

49
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker E>I never watched that Jumanji version was.

50
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

51
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker E>I. I watch. I. I hold to the Robin Williams original. That one was Jumanji. Because it's. It horrified me as a child.

52
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker A>Fair.

53
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker B>I loved it.

54
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker E>It was absolutely. I think that is the scariest movie that I watched as a child. And there's a reason I don't like horror films, and it's because of Jumanji.

55
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker A>But Jumanji is not a horror film.

56
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker E>No, but it is when you're five also. What. What else? Hang on. Oh, the Disney movie, Snow White, the Seven Dwarves horrified me as a child.

57
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, valid.

58
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker B>You know, valid. In Walt Disney World, the Ride for Snow. I've been there, like, once when I was like, six. But that. That ride terrified me really so much.

59
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker E>Just.

60
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker B>You can. You can imagine if the movie's that scary that the witch was right in front of you.

61
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah, it was. It was the scene where she's running through the forest and then the trees have eyes.

62
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

63
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker E>And it's so scary.

64
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker A>Why does the trees have eyes sound like a horror movie?

65
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker B>Because the hills have eyes.

66
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, yeah.

67
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker B>And if the trees have eyes, where are you gonna go?

68
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

69
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker A>I watched horror way too young.

70
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker B>What was I gonna say about Jumanji?

71
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker A>Zathura?

72
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker E>What?

73
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker B>No, but that was a spiritual successor. I don't know if that was actually a sequel.

74
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker D>I think both based on books by the same author.

75
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

76
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker E>Did you hear that?

77
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker A>The door opened menacingly.

78
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker C>I did not appreciate the AC kicked on and just creaked the door open.

79
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker B>We are entering the world of the game.

80
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker E>Leave that in.

81
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker A>Leave that in.

82
00:04:49.000 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker B>I've always been fascinated by movies where you go into a game. Oh, yeah. What I remember is the quote, I always, like, think this in my head is a little rain never hurt anybody. Yeah. But a lot can kill you. I love that quote.

83
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker A>It's a good quote.

84
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker B>This makes for great.

85
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker E>The energy right now is.

86
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker A>This is the same as last time.

87
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker E>We're so chill.

88
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker B>Here's a link to a Quora question. What is a catchy group name for a sober support meeting?

89
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker E>This is today's episode.

90
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker B>I feel like that's the least of your worries at this point.

91
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, it's important to be catchy.

92
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know why you're asking. The Internet. I'm gonna give you all kinds of bad ones.

93
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker A>How else are you supposed to get peer reviews?

94
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker B>You don't use peer reviews. You just come up with it on your own. And then just hope you don't like it.

95
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker E>You don't go to Quora, you go to Reddit.

96
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, that's fact. It's a lot better because Quora is like. You go to the website and then all of a sudden it's completely unrelated.

97
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker A>I'm pretty sure Quora died as a website before I even knew the Internet existed.

98
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know what it's for, honestly.

99
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker A>It's for questions.

100
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker B>I feel like Yahoo Answers did a much better job.

101
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker E>RIP Rest in peace, Yahoo.

102
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker D>What about wiki?

103
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker A>How I like wiki?

104
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker B>That one's just a. If you want to know how not to do something, but maybe how to do it. I don't know, put it on yourself. You do it.

105
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker E>Watch a YouTube video.

106
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker A>I have so much beef with YouTube tutorials. So much beef with YouTube tutorials.

107
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker D>Oh, I wanted to give a topical one, so I googled wikihow how to play D and D. The. The first one that pops up. I already disagree on rule one.

108
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker A>What is it?

109
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker D>Step one, buy the handbooks.

110
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, you gotta know the rules at some point.

111
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, okay. Well, there's two parts to that sentence. Buy and the rulebooks. You can obtain the rule books.

112
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker D>But step two, understand race.

113
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker B>Race.

114
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, understand race.

115
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker B>I'm colorblind.

116
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker D>Step three, understand class.

117
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker B>I will never.

118
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker A>All very important things.

119
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker E>Is this wikiHow.

120
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker D>It is indeed.

121
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker E>Oh no.

122
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker A>It's teaching you how to be a revolutionary.

123
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker B>Why did my computer just make a disconnect sound?

124
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker A>I love your necklace.

125
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker E>Thank you. It was a Christmas present from one of my sisters in law, but I don't know which person it was.

126
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker A>I can't tell what it is from here.

127
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker E>It's a snake.

128
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, it's cool snack.

129
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker E>It's a slitherest snack.

130
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker B>I'm glad you got the reference and didn't just think I was saying something funny.

131
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker D>I did not get the reference. I am uncultured.

132
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker E>I'm old Greg.

133
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker D>I didn't even know who old Greg was until yesterday.

134
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker E>Scaly man fish. I need to show all of you Old Greg. Then that's what we're doing in the break. I'm showing all of you Old Greg. It has offensive humor in it.

135
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker A>Bend it.

136
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker E>I'm sorry.

137
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker A>What are we gonna do before the break though?

138
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker E>Record an episode maybe.

139
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker D>Speaking of recording an episode.

140
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker A>I did it.

141
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker C>Thanks, chickens.

142
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker D>We left off standing on the wall on the second floor of Demigant's Terrestrial Trinkets, an antique shop in the fey town of Nithvale. Only temporarily present here on the Material plane until the moon sets in 10 hours.

143
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, we have 10 more hours.

144
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker A>That's so much time.

145
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker B>So what happens if we're in the town and it disappears? Do we go with it?

146
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker E>Yes or. Yes, we do.

147
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker B>See, the question is, where do we have to be outside of the town in order to not go with it? Where are the boundaries?

148
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker A>Presumably by that crumbled castle we arrived by.

149
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah, I feel like that would safely be outside the bounds of the city.

150
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker B>Did the little guy that we were talking to, did he. Was he like a pixie?

151
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker E>Perry, he was a pixie.

152
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker A>It was a bushy.

153
00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker B>It was a bush, yeah. Was he part of the town census?

154
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker E>No, he was. He's not part of Nithvale.

155
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, he wanted us to go away from his town. And he wanted us to go, too.

156
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker E>We do also have my castle that we. I can just be like, hey, come here and take us out of this place.

157
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker A>What if we accidentally steal a Fae because they want to go inside the castle?

158
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker E>Well, that's their fault.

159
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker A>That's true.

160
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker E>If they climb in my castle castle uninvited, that's their fault.

161
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker D>You know, one Fae that invades your castle uninvited, it's their problem. But a thousand Fey that invade your castle uninvited, that's our.

162
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker E>That's our problem.

163
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker B>But if I wanted a thousand hugs from 1,000,000 Fae, that didn't go as well as I thought it would.

164
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker E>So there's a million Fae. Only a thousand of you are allowed to hug me.

165
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker B>If you choose wisely. I'm sure if you're a millennial, you've heard Owl City's fireflies.

166
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker A>I think it's 10,000.

167
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker B>No, it's a thousand.

168
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker A>It's a thousand.

169
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker B>10 million or a million?

170
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker E>It's 10,000 fireflies.

171
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, I know that. There's more fireflies than we're getting. Off topic.

172
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker A>I think it's just a thousand hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs.

173
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker D>That is correct.

174
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker B>There you go. See, I had the ratio wrong.

175
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker D>Only 10% of fireflies will hug.

176
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker A>And only 10% of Fay will hug. Zafir.

177
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker D>I forget his last name. His first name's Adam.

178
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker B>Adam.

179
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker D>Adam Young.

180
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, can we get off the topic of this band?

181
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker D>So

182
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker E>what is. Oh, my gosh. Focus, everyone. Get your caffeine and focus.

183
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker B>I have no caffeine.

184
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker A>You have a Dr. Pepper right there.

185
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker E>Dr. Pepper is caffeine.

186
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker B>Let's start.

187
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker D>Demigant takes a sip of his Dr.

188
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker C>Pepper and is like, so, now that you have your boots, what is next for You.

189
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker B>Now, you said we were on the wall.

190
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

191
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker B>However, when we entered the door ceiling trap, we ended up on the floor.

192
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker D>Yes.

193
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker B>So we weren't on the floor or on the wall.

194
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

195
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker B>But we're on the floor.

196
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker D>Yes.

197
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker A>The wall floor. Yes.

198
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

199
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker D>Welcome to Nithvale.

200
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker A>I don't think we had this took a lot less time than I thought it would.

201
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

202
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker B>So we've got time to.

203
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker E>Hang on, hang on, hang on. What is the diabolicalness that's happening over there?

204
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker D>My diabolical caliber.

205
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah. What's your diabolic caliber doing?

206
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker D>It's at five.

207
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:47.000
<v Speaker A>I suppose we have some time. I think we should leave as soon as possible.

208
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker B>This store or the town?

209
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker A>The town.

210
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker E>And it is also fey. So time might be passing differently than we perceive it to pass.

211
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know. We could just ask someone.

212
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:05.000
<v Speaker A>I cast time sense.

213
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.000
<v Speaker D>Roll a D20.

214
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, not again. I don't even have my dice out.

215
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker E>Oh. What kind of pathfinder player are you?

216
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker A>Where's your dice?

217
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker E>Right here.

218
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker A>Well, look how fancy you are.

219
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker B>Why do you all have dice sticks?

220
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker A>Is it a flat D20?

221
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker D>Yes.

222
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker B>More three dimensional. I'm sorry, can you say seven again?

223
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker A>It was good, petite. It was good. 7.

224
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker D>Alward, you reach out with your magical senses to the universe to determine what time it is.

225
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker B>Right.

226
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker A>Magic is walking.

227
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker E>This time I forgot.

228
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker D>And you realize that you are able to connect. And you know what time it is.

229
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker A>I don't believe you.

230
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker D>It's 11:28 in the evening.

231
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker B>And what time does the city go away?

232
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker D>9:28 in the morning.

233
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker A>Sunrise is late.

234
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker D>It's not with sunrise. It's with moonset.

235
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker C>Oh.

236
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker B>So, using your beautiful brain, did you determine how long we have?

237
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, I didn't. Yes.

238
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker B>That's good.

239
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker A>About 10 hours.

240
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, well, that means we have time.

241
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker A>You want to stay in the city, don't you?

242
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker B>I do. Very much so.

243
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker E>Is there anything you want to do in particular?

244
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker B>Have you seen this place? I feel like it just comes to you.

245
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker C>Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to be? Dimagint butts in.

246
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker B>Right here is fantastic. As long as right here stays here and not something else becomes here.

247
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker C>Oh, very rarely. I've got a good property, you know.

248
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker B>Does it happen sometimes? I mean, has it ever.

249
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.000
<v Speaker C>Well, yes, but then I lodge a complaint and it gets resolved pretty quickly.

250
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker B>You must have a wonderful municipal government.

251
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker C>No, I just have one that understands the.

252
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.000
<v Speaker A>Your HOA must be fantastic.

253
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker E>Ew. We do not stay on HOAs.

254
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.000
<v Speaker C>Yes, I do.

255
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker B>You in particular. All right. Well, Actually, you know what? If we could stay here, like, in. In town, I. We can. I'm just gonna start walking down the floor.

256
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker E>The flaw.

257
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker B>My wet feet sopping on the wood floor wall flaw.

258
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker A>How are we going to get down?

259
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker B>You fall.

260
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker E>Why are your feet wet?

261
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker A>Because he was in a dunk tank.

262
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, that's right.

263
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker A>It's been 10 minutes.

264
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker E>In game. Yes. But out of game, we kind of. Yeah, we have to fall. That's a great.

265
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker A>It has a really good sound effect. I don't like it, but it's really good.

266
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker E>Featuring petite's mouth noises.

267
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker A>Part three. How. How far is that drop?

268
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker D>25ft.

269
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker E>Oh. How much damage would we take from that?

270
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:29.000
<v Speaker A>10.

271
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker E>Would we fall prone?

272
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

273
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker D>If you take any damage from a fall, you land prone.

274
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker E>How did we get up here?

275
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker A>I flew.

276
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker E>But who. How did I get up there?

277
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker A>I flew. You.

278
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker B>Oh.

279
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker A>Is my flight still going? Has it been 10 minutes since I cast fly?

280
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker D>I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say you still have a

281
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000
<v Speaker A>little bit of flight left, and that makes life easy.

282
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker E>I'm just carry me outwards.

283
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker A>Would you like a piggyback or.

284
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker E>Yes.

285
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker A>Okay. I squat down to receive the. Nero's on my back.

286
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker E>I can be your backpack while you fly.

287
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker D>So as Zafir squelches his way down the wall in his boots of parkour. Boots of free running

288
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker A>suction cup boots.

289
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker B>That is the sound my boots make.

290
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker D>That's why we call them Foley petite.

291
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker B>In tandem with the squishing and squelching,

292
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker D>then alward, with Nero's writing, piggyback descends down very carefully. And then just before your feet touch the ground, like a centimeter off the ground, your flight spell wears out and you just boom onto the ground.

293
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker A>What fortuitous timing. Can you please get off my back now?

294
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, yeah, sorry. Sorry. Dismount.

295
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker A>Some action.

296
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker B>I'm just gonna start looking around. Just aimlessly wandering around the store.

297
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker A>Don't break anything, Zafir.

298
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, Maybe. Okay.

299
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.000
<v Speaker E>Are there any good places to drink in this town, Demijend?

300
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

301
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker E>Are there any good places to drink in this town?

302
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

303
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker E>Where? Can you come down here, please?

304
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.000
<v Speaker C>Heavy sigh and damage.

305
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker D>An walks back down the wall, gets onto the floor.

306
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker C>What would you like to drink?

307
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker E>Alcohol.

308
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.000
<v Speaker A>Wait, you were a bar?

309
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:36.000
<v Speaker C>No, I'm giving recommendations. It's a courteous thing that I do.

310
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker A>Very kind.

311
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker C>Yes. You would like alcohol. Well, that narrows it down considerably.

312
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker E>What do you. That's it? That's. That's all you're gonna tell me?

313
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker C>I didn't have tavern names. Ready for a fairy place?

314
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker E>Well, why not? It's where Neros goes. Taverns.

315
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker C>I don't drink.

316
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.000
<v Speaker E>All right, well, but Neros does. And you have to account for the characters that are in the story.

317
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker B>Come on, gm.

318
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker C>Let's see. There's. Not too far from here, we have the aromatic bagpipe.

319
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.000
<v Speaker E>That's amazing.

320
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.000
<v Speaker A>Awful.

321
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker B>No, smells like aromatic bagpipe. Does sound awful.

322
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker E>Smells like old spit. Probably. Probably moldy spit.

323
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker B>Scottish spit.

324
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker E>Moldy Scottish spit.

325
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker C>Then there's the nasty chestnut.

326
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.000
<v Speaker B>Ew.

327
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker A>Do. Do. Do all of these sound awful? Or are there some ones that sound nice?

328
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker C>Defy nice.

329
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker A>Not something that would not make me want to hurl if I smelled it.

330
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker D>Would you hurl if you smelled a magenta pie?

331
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:51.000
<v Speaker A>Um, what is magenta?

332
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker E>It's a color.

333
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker A>I know, but it technically doesn't exist in nature.

334
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker B>You don't exist in nature.

335
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker C>Perhaps we should go with our safest option. The lyrical ox is not far away.

336
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker A>Do you think they actually have an ox singing?

337
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.000
<v Speaker E>I don't know, but we can go find out.

338
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, I feel like we're not gonna make it out of the town in time. Let's go.

339
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker E>I have no idea what Zafir wants to do.

340
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker A>Zafir, we're leaving.

341
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker B>What?

342
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker A>We're going to a pub.

343
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

344
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker E>Where are you going?

345
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker B>Around.

346
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker A>Zafir, please, please come with us.

347
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker B>That was my mouth. Don't worry.

348
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker E>Are you going back to the dunk tank?

349
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.000
<v Speaker B>No, I'm in the store somehow. Still.

350
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker E>Are you just gonna stay here?

351
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I've been walking in a straight line for a while.

352
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker A>Zafir, please come with us. Please. I don't. I don't want us to get separated.

353
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker E>I could bear hug you and carry you.

354
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker B>We're not separated. I'm right next to you.

355
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker E>I could bear hug you and carry.

356
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker B>I'm following. Don't worry.

357
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker A>How did you get here so quickly? You've been walking in a straight line for a while.

358
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna assume that it was a curve at some point, but you know,

359
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker A>I hate this place.

360
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker C>Well, if you dislike it that much, you're free to leave.

361
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, it's not your shop, Dimagint. It's just the entire first world.

362
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker B>That's the first free thing here. I'll take it.

363
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker E>You broke my husband.

364
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker D>If we did not do hero points

365
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.000
<v Speaker C>at the end of Episodes, you would

366
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker D>be getting one right now.

367
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker A>It was good.

368
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna be sad when we leave this place.

369
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.000
<v Speaker E>Are you okay?

370
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker D>That was just so good. All right, so who's leading the charge out of the terrestrial trinkets.

371
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker E>I guess I am, because Jenkins pointed at me.

372
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.000
<v Speaker A>You're the one who wants to go for a drink?

373
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker B>I am?

374
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker E>Yes.

375
00:20:55.000 --> 00:21:27.000
<v Speaker D>Neros. When you open the door, there is a figure standing right outside. She is dressed in a sort of like lamellar plate armor that's made out of insectile sort of chitin, and is holding a staff that ends in a. It's actually more of a glaive that looks like it was actually just repurposed out of some sort of like bugs like scythe like army. She looks down at you as you open the door and is like. Ah, the visitor. I have a message for you.

376
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:32.000
<v Speaker E>Okay. From. From who?

377
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:38.000
<v Speaker D>The counselor Grammaskult requests your presence at a feast this evening in your honor.

378
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker E>The Council of what?

379
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker D>Councilor Grammaskult. Who's Councillor Grammarskult, One of the three rulers of Nithvale.

380
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker E>What did I do?

381
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker D>You and your friends are subjects of interest to His Grace.

382
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.000
<v Speaker E>What did we do?

383
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker D>That is not information he's provided to me. He has requested the honor of your presence at your earliest convenience.

384
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker E>Where do we go? Oh, can we follow you there?

385
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker D>You'll find your way.

386
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker A>Is this one of those banquets where if we eat the food, we're trapped?

387
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:17.000
<v Speaker D>I'm not familiar with that. Is it a custom of your people stories?

388
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker A>It's fine.

389
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker E>Everyone be on your guard.

390
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:31.000
<v Speaker D>She dips her head in a professional nod and then turns to leave. And you see, her back is made out of like a hollow tree trunk and she has a cow's tail.

391
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:37.000
<v Speaker B>I thought you were gonna say she dipped her head in like sauce or something.

392
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker E>Just the custom, I guess. We're not going to the Lyrical Cow.

393
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker A>I think we should head there and maybe we'll find the way to the place anyway.

394
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker B>I mean, truthfully, if we go that direction, we may end up there.

395
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:59.000
<v Speaker E>That's true. I guess we shall wander. I don't even know how to get to that cow place. The Ox place.

396
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker A>That is true. He didn't give us directions.

397
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker E>No, he didn't. And I'm not going back in there to speak with the Toad Man.

398
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.000
<v Speaker A>He might not let us leave for free this time.

399
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.000
<v Speaker E>That's true.

400
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker D>So as you begin heading out into town, you walk down sort of like a marble paved pathway past a fountain that has turquoise ish. Greenish water splashing through it, Kind of Mountain Dew colored.

401
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker E>Baja Blast.

402
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker D>Baja Blast. Yeah, there we go. So pass the Baja Bass, pass the blah blah.

403
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker A>You got this.

404
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker E>Get it together.

405
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker B>The Baja Bass. It's a new Fish.

406
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.000
<v Speaker D>You pass the Baja blast fountain.

407
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker B>Zip, zip.

408
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker D>And to your left, you see down. Quite a ways down. It's not immediately there, but you can see the gates leading out of the city. And to your right is what appears to be a palace.

409
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.000
<v Speaker E>To the palace.

410
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker A>Everything in our wants to leave.

411
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:05.000
<v Speaker E>I mean, I guess we could leave. I mean, they just requested our presence. It wasn't a demand.

412
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.000
<v Speaker A>I don't want Faye mad at me.

413
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker E>So. To the palace.

414
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker B>If they leave, they won't be able to be mad at you for too long.

415
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker A>What?

416
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker B>Nevermind.

417
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker E>To the palace. All right. Hop, skipping, a jump over the.

418
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker B>I do the same movements I did to try to get to the store, but just in a straight line. Like, I don't turn or anything. I just do the wiggle.

419
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker D>And you wiggle your way up to the palace, your friends walking behind you. And before long, the three of you are now standing at the steps of the palace. There seem to be two other women arrayed in the same insectile armor, wielding the same bug glaives that are standing on either side of the doors

420
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker A>where the visitors.

421
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker D>Ah, yes, you are expected. Please come in. They open the doors, and inside immediately. In through the doors is this long, I don't know, like, 25 foot long banquet table with places set all the way down.

422
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.000
<v Speaker E>Is there anyone else there?

423
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker D>Nope, just you guys.

424
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker B>Is there food?

425
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker D>Nope, just plates and dishes.

426
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker A>I thought you were gonna say just you guys.

427
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker B>You know the situation where it's, we're gonna have you for dinner. They actually have you for dinner. I'm bringing that back.

428
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker A>I didn't think of that. That could possibly be what it is.

429
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker B>I mean, I don't want to be racist or anything, but they may eat

430
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker E>us or try to, and we can't use magic.

431
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:44.000
<v Speaker A>It may also be emotionally rich food. Dude

432
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker B>was standing in a doorway. Is there anybody else? You said that it was just us.

433
00:25:48.000 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker D>Like, as you glance around, there's nobody over there. You look the other way, there's nobody over there. You look back, and now there's what appears to be just like a short elf standing at your elbow. Can I help you find your seat, sir?

434
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:01.000
<v Speaker B>My elbow?

435
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

436
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker B>That is a short elbow.

437
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker D>He's not up to your elbow. He's standing at your elbow. So, like, if you went, you'd, like, hit him in the gut. He's about your height.

438
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker B>I go, huh? Where's?

439
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker D>My apologies. I, I, I misunderstood your cultural greeting.

440
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, jeez.

441
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker B>Remember that. It's a very, very. No, what's the word?

442
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker A>I'm looking for sanctimonious.

443
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.000
<v Speaker D>A very sanctimonious tradition.

444
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

445
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker D>Another elf creature walks up to Alward

446
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:42.000
<v Speaker A>and goes, oh, that's not from my tradition. I just. Hello.

447
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker D>Hello. Another elf walks up to near us.

448
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker E>Huh?

449
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker C>Hi.

450
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.000
<v Speaker E>Hi.

451
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker B>Are you going to eat us?

452
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker D>Is that part of your tradition?

453
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker B>No, it's just a question.

454
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.000
<v Speaker D>Oh, phew. I did not want to eat you.

455
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.000
<v Speaker B>That's good. Does anybody else?

456
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:12.000
<v Speaker D>Not that I'm aware of. They all start like muttering amongst each other. No one here does that.

457
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker B>Sounds good to me. Where's our seats?

458
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker D>They gesture to the table and each one of them like moves to guide you to a chosen seat. And you find they've selected to seat all three of you together.

459
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker B>It's good. I wouldn't want to sit by anybody else.

460
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker A>I apologize. If anything happens, I cast time sense.

461
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker D>Make a D20 roll while he's doing that.

462
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.000
<v Speaker B>What's the place?

463
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker A>5.

464
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker D>Ah, your time sense works correctly as expected. It's been about 40 minutes.

465
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

466
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker D>Do you all take your seats?

467
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker B>Do they say to take our seats?

468
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:49.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

469
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker B>So they say to take our seats?

470
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker D>Yes. They've showed you to your seats and ask you to take a seat.

471
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker E>I pick up my chair.

472
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:57.000
<v Speaker D>Yep.

473
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:58.000
<v Speaker A>Yep.

474
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker B>So now you've got two fetchlings picking up their chair standing there.

475
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker D>Two fetching fetchlings, one might say, holding a chair.

476
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker B>Zafir starts to walk away with the chair.

477
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.000
<v Speaker D>Why are you leaving?

478
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker B>You told me to take it.

479
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker D>Well, yeah, but we didn't tell you to leave.

480
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I mean, put it in your shadow. Thank you. Does that work hours?

481
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker A>Just gonna stare at his chair, confused.

482
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker D>You can sit in it if you'd like.

483
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker A>I. It's like he doesn't understand he can move it with his own hands, but knows he can't cast mage hand to move it because of the magic stuff.

484
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:46.000
<v Speaker D>Oh, my apologies, sir. Such an insult to you. He goes over and pulls the chair out for you.

485
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, thank. Thank you. I would just sits down.

486
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker E>You're an awkward boy without your spells, aren't you?

487
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah. Yeah.

488
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker E>How uncomfortable are you right now?

489
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker A>So uncomfortable.

490
00:29:02.000 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker D>Another of these like short elf creatures steps out from a corridor at the far end of the room, picks up a little bugle and please welcome the three rulers of Nithvale. The three who sit on the moonlit thrones. Presenting Thun Kanas. And the skeletal super skinny woman dressed in like dark purple robes walks around the corner and takes a seat by sitting down in it. At the head of the table, the honorable Moonchaser, a dire wolf walks around the corner and sits down next to the skeletal woman at the end of the table. And it's gray Skremmaskault. And a mountain troll comes out from the other hall and sits on the other side of Thunkanas. The three of them all look down towards you guys at the other end of the super long table.

491
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.000
<v Speaker B>I'm standing where my seat was.

492
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker E>I'm still holding my chair.

493
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker D>I see you are well acquainted with our cultures.

494
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.000
<v Speaker C>Thunkana says.

495
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker E>In a manner of speaking, yes.

496
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.000
<v Speaker B>I dip my head into the non existent sauce.

497
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.000
<v Speaker C>A manner of speaking is really what it's all about, isn't it?

498
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.000
<v Speaker D>The troll says.

499
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Speaker B>He's the one invited, right?

500
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah.

501
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.000
<v Speaker A>I don't mean to be rude. Can the direwolf also speak common?

502
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker D>The wolf looks over in your direction, tilts its head to the side.

503
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker C>What a strange question.

504
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker A>Oh wow. That's okay.

505
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker D>Why do you struggle to grasp the common language?

506
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:04.000
<v Speaker A>No, typically wolves do though.

507
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker C>Wow, that is so ignorant of you.

508
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker A>Very much so, yes.

509
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker B>It really is, Albert. I mean, I mean, I mean you

510
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker C>don't see me just walking up to

511
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker D>meet people and asking them if they can read.

512
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:20.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, I sit cross legged in the floor about that.

513
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker A>Maybe we don't.

514
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah.

515
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker B>Okay.

516
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:38.000
<v Speaker C>Now I must ask, the troll says, because it is not my position to impose or merely to assume. What would you three like most to eat?

517
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.000
<v Speaker E>Are you going to keep us here forever if we eat your food?

518
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker C>No, no, not, not simply eating food would be enough for me to keep you here forever. But poultry excuse for rulers of a town Would we be if we could not even entertain guests and send them on their way?

519
00:31:53.000 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker B>I mean, if it's any help, the festival has been quite entertaining in its own right.

520
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker C>Oh, that is most gratifying to hear. Yes indeed.

521
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker A>Why did you want us to come here?

522
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:28.000
<v Speaker C>Well, straight to the point. I see you don't bandy words. I have a question for the three of you. You may know that I am the gatekeeper, one might say, for the knowledge and wonders of the city.

523
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker B>Sure.

524
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker E>Yep.

525
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.000
<v Speaker A>Yep.

526
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker C>As such, you must not be surprised to know that I have spies bring me this knowledge so that I might know all that there is to know and share with those who I deem fit.

527
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker A>That makes sense.

528
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:59.000
<v Speaker C>Then it would not surprise the three of you one whit to know that my spies have reported you traveling in the presence of a thrall of the poet. I would like to know where he is.

529
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker B>Me too. What? I say from under the table, cross legged in the floor.

530
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.000
<v Speaker A>I can't remember do we know anything about the poet?

531
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.000
<v Speaker E>All of the poet? No.

532
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker D>This would be the first that the three of you have heard of the poet.

533
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Speaker A>A society check?

534
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.000
<v Speaker D>Sure.

535
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker E>Gossip lore?

536
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.000
<v Speaker D>Sure.

537
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker B>What do I have?

538
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker A>Severe.

539
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.000
<v Speaker B>Can I do guessing lore?

540
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:27.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, that would be such a good lore.

541
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker E>Skill 30. Gossip lore.

542
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.000
<v Speaker D>Okay, 30 for gossip lore.

543
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker A>30 also for society

544
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker D>Petite. Go ahead and just roll a flat D20. No bonuses, three dimension.

545
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker B>It was slightly cocked, but it's 12.

546
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker D>Okay. So petite. You're not sure. You know, it's. It's hard to say. Guessing lore. It's. It's a difficult game. If you rolled a 20, I was gonna give you something.

547
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker B>I can do it again. It was cocked.

548
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.000
<v Speaker D>But for.

549
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker E>Did he roll a natural 20?

550
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker A>He really did use a hero point. Petite. Take it.

551
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker E>He's. I can't tell if he's upset.

552
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, kind of.

553
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker E>I.

554
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker B>I will let you do with that what you will.

555
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker D>Okay. I'm gonna send you something that you can incorporate into whatever guess you choose to make.

556
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker B>Cool.

557
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.000
<v Speaker A>Now, I want guessing lore to be a legit thing.

558
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.000
<v Speaker B>I didn't. I didn't mean to be cool.

559
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:44.000
<v Speaker E>Good job.

560
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker A>No one means to be cool.

561
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.000
<v Speaker E>Cool is just thrust upon them.

562
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker B>I was simply born in the cool.

563
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker A>Nobody is born cool except for Petite rolling in that 20. I.

564
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:59.000
<v Speaker B>You know, like you. You saw it was cocked on the 12th.

565
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker A>It was a little cocked on that.

566
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker B>I was like, I'm just gonna take it.

567
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, I was gonna mention it, but you. You took it. So.

568
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker D>So while petite is reading the tidbit that I sent him to inform his guests that he's going to make. But I appreciate that, Alward and Neros, I'm gonna be transparent and let you know that you failed your checks.

569
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker A>That's understandable. I rolled a four. The absolute shock on a 30. I mean, I rolled a four and got a 30.

570
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah, but gossip lore, it usually the DC is lowered by two. It helps.

571
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker A>It does help.

572
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.000
<v Speaker D>Which staggeringly means that it was theoretically possible for you guys to succeed if

573
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.000
<v Speaker E>we rolled a natural 20.

574
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

575
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker A>I don't like that.

576
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.000
<v Speaker E>Only if we rolled a natural 20.

577
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker A>Too bad I don't have ancient Thessalonian.

578
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.000
<v Speaker B>I'll be honest. I rolled a natural 20. I still don't know what's going on.

579
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, that's good.

580
00:35:56.000 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker C>You can't tell me that you've been traveling with a thrall of the poet and you've never even heard of him.

581
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:10.000
<v Speaker B>Is the thrall his name or like, you know, I guess in the fey world, you don't know the names. But you know,

582
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker C>you would know this thrall as ouvert.

583
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker B>He's here.

584
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:17.000
<v Speaker A>He's not.

585
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.000
<v Speaker E>He's not here.

586
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.000
<v Speaker A>We don't know where he is right now.

587
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.000
<v Speaker D>Hmm.

588
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.000
<v Speaker C>Shame.

589
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker E>Why do you want to know?

590
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.000
<v Speaker C>I've been searching for the poet for many years.

591
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker E>Who's the poet?

592
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:35.000
<v Speaker C>No, no. One question at a time.

593
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.000
<v Speaker B>Oh, he's the thrall. Okay.

594
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.000
<v Speaker C>So far you've failed to answer any of my questions. I don't see why I should answer yours.

595
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:44.000
<v Speaker A>No, that's not true. We answered. It's just not.

596
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.000
<v Speaker E>It's not the answer you want.

597
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, well. Oh, I. I can tell you where he is.

598
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.000
<v Speaker C>Indeed

599
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.000
<v Speaker B>not here.

600
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:04.000
<v Speaker C>That is correct. I suppose you wouldn't mind then, if before we continue this line of conversation, station a toast.

601
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:12.000
<v Speaker D>And he claps his hands and the elves come up and pour some wine into your goblets.

602
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:17.000
<v Speaker C>I should warn you, this wine is enchanted.

603
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker D>The smallest sip, he takes a drink of his own goblet.

604
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:27.000
<v Speaker C>And for the next, say, two hours, you'll be compelled to speak nothing but the truth.

605
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.000
<v Speaker E>I'm not drinking this.

606
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker B>I mean, we weren't planning on drinking anything anyway, so. Well, here.

607
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.000
<v Speaker A>I don't like alcohol.

608
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker B>What skill would I use to. I guess it would be deception to make it look like I'm drinking, but I'm not.

609
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.000
<v Speaker D>Yeah, that'd be deception.

610
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:48.000
<v Speaker E>Or could we just refuse to drink it?

611
00:37:48.000 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker D>Would you like to attempt a slight of hand deception trick? I'll let you do Deception or thievery? Either your choice to make it look like you're drinking the wine and actually not.

612
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:15.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, so the thing that I want to specify is that I am going to succeed in the faking it. The question is whether they believe it or not. Not the I'm going to try and the question is whether I accidentally drink it or not. I want to make that clear.

613
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:16.000
<v Speaker C>Yes.

614
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:27.000
<v Speaker D>So the. The success state is you appear to have drunk the wine and you have not. The failure state is you have not drunk the wine and it's clear that you were trying to look like you did.

615
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker B>That works.

616
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.000
<v Speaker A>Does the wine count as a poison?

617
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker D>Let's call it a poison. Makes it more interesting that way.

618
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:40.000
<v Speaker A>Okay. The reason why I have things for poisons.

619
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker E>What if we don't drink it? What if I just don't drink it?

620
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna. I'm gonna spend a card.

621
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker D>So at the moment, petite is attempting to make it look like he's drinking. So since whatever would happen from you refusing would happen after that, I want to get the results of that check

622
00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker E>first, I just want to know.

623
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker D>And Jenkins, Alward was just acting like he doesn't want to drink because he doesn't like alcohol, right?

624
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:12.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, that's factual. It's not an act. Okay, if I do have to drink, I have a plan. But

625
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker B>that's not as good. Or not. Not much better, but it's better. 28.

626
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:34.000
<v Speaker D>So he grandma skull mentions that the wine is enchanted, will compel you to tell the truth. And Alward, you say that you don't like alcohol. Neros, have you said anything in character, or are you just not drinking?

627
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.000
<v Speaker E>She pushes the glass away from her.

628
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.000
<v Speaker C>Okay.

629
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:52.000
<v Speaker D>And then Zafir, you pick up the glass, move to take a drink, Just a little bit of it just kind of splashes on your collar. And Grandma Skull just tilts his head disapprovingly in your direction.

630
00:39:52.000 --> 00:40:02.000
<v Speaker C>Really? Now, you would think a guest who would be invited to a palace would have better table manners. You've spilled a little there.

631
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker B>It's my clothes. I can do what I want want with them.

632
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker C>This is true.

633
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker B>That was the truth.

634
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:21.000
<v Speaker C>In that case, I suppose we will proceed with me at a slight disadvantage, seeing as the three of you did not see fit as to ensure the information you're providing is accurate.

635
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:27.000
<v Speaker A>I don't like alcohol.

636
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:54.000
<v Speaker C>I will permit you all to ask questions on the understanding that for every question that we of the moonlit thrones answer, we will give you the most accurate answer to the best of our knowledge. But then we will ask you a question and you agree to answer it as truthfully as possible to the best of your knowledge.

637
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.000
<v Speaker A>Sure. Yeah.

638
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:58.000
<v Speaker B>We don't have any questions for them, do we?

639
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:04.000
<v Speaker A>We need to know who the poet is and why Uwe is a thrall of them. We've been traveling with someone who seemingly is important.

640
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.000
<v Speaker B>I mean, we could just ask him when we see him.

641
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.000
<v Speaker A>Uber doesn't know anything, okay?

642
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.000
<v Speaker B>It's like his whole thing, all right?

643
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:13.000
<v Speaker A>He does not understand.

644
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.000
<v Speaker B>Don't tell him any secrets.

645
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.000
<v Speaker E>It's his whole personality.

646
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:29.000
<v Speaker C>Being the guests of our gracious call, you three may ask your question first.

647
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:33.000
<v Speaker A>Who is the poet?

648
00:41:33.000 --> 00:42:02.000
<v Speaker D>The poet, oh, Thuncanas interjects, was once a denizen of the first world, but was banished many, many years ago. He had delusions of grandeur and believed that he could become something like a God. Many suffered for his folly.

649
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:04.000
<v Speaker B>Does he have any. Wait, no. We can't tell anyone.

650
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.000
<v Speaker A>It's their turn to ask the question.

651
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:28.000
<v Speaker D>The three of them all kind of lean together and start holding a hushed conversation. Moonchaser, the Wolf looks over towards you. I have a question. Do you believe that you could kill Uver if it were necessary?

652
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.000
<v Speaker B>Which one of us are you asking?

653
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker D>All of you. Do the three of you believe that the three of you could kill Uber if necessary?

654
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:55.000
<v Speaker A>Are you asking if it's possible for us to kill an old dwarf? Are you asking us, are we willing? You know. You know, you don't get an answer. I think. No, hold on. Because that would be counted as our question. Then you would get to answer one back. So we don't want that. I mean, technically, all three of us together could probably kill.

655
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:57.000
<v Speaker E>Probably capable.

656
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah.

657
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.000
<v Speaker B>I don't think we are.

658
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.000
<v Speaker A>You think uber power wise.

659
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker E>I think we're capable, willing, wise.

660
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:08.000
<v Speaker B>No, I don't think we are.

661
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:09.000
<v Speaker E>You don't think we're powerful enough?

662
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:14.000
<v Speaker A>You know, he might make a good point. He is an incredibly old dwarf that somehow.

663
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:17.000
<v Speaker B>And even if we did try to kill him, it doesn't mean he's dead.

664
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.000
<v Speaker E>It could be a toss up.

665
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:25.000
<v Speaker A>Possibly power wise. Possibly. We don't know anything about what's going on with him really.

666
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker B>So neither does he.

667
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, it's a mess anyway.

668
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:38.000
<v Speaker D>Moonchaser cocks his head again and willingness. The others, like, put their hands out, shake their heads. No, no, it's their turn.

669
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.000
<v Speaker B>If we answer that, will you.

670
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.000
<v Speaker A>No,

671
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker B>I forgot that was a question.

672
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.000
<v Speaker E>What other questions do we want to ask?

673
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.000
<v Speaker A>Maybe how is Uwehr? Like, what does it mean to be a thrall?

674
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:57.000
<v Speaker B>I was going to ask if the poet had any other names, because that sounds like, like Hamir to me.

675
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:01.000
<v Speaker A>He is a mortal man. I mean, it's not. It's not a bad question. I'm just. I don't think it's.

676
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.000
<v Speaker B>He wants to be a God.

677
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker A>A lot of people want to be gods.

678
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:10.000
<v Speaker E>I mean, we could. We could ask one question and ask another after we finish.

679
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, that is true. I think we should go with this question.

680
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:18.000
<v Speaker E>Okay, let's go with this.

681
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:24.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know how to ask the crate. Does the poet have any other names?

682
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:25.000
<v Speaker C>No grammar.

683
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:27.000
<v Speaker D>Skull replies.

684
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:58.000
<v Speaker C>He may be referred to by other names by many others. A being as old as he is does not go without monikers or other names given to him. But he would not answer to that. No, he would only recognize himself as being the poet. Funny thing. In name. Who give you this for free? He would say he has none.

685
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:01.000
<v Speaker B>That's very poetic.

686
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.000
<v Speaker D>They have a hushed conversation again.

687
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:15.000
<v Speaker C>I have a question for the three of you. Are you confident in uh's intentions as a member of your party?

688
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:16.000
<v Speaker B>What are his intentions?

689
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.000
<v Speaker A>Intentions are to find out what he is. So, yeah, pretty confident in that.

690
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:25.000
<v Speaker B>Who's the spokesperson here? I feel like I've been doing less talking.

691
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:30.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, you've been bouncing around. If you want to be the spokesperson, you can.

692
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.000
<v Speaker E>You don't have to be the spokesperson.

693
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:33.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know if I'm doing the good job.

694
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.000
<v Speaker A>You're doing a great job.

695
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:42.000
<v Speaker E>Yes, we are confident in his intention.

696
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:43.000
<v Speaker C>Interesting.

697
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:47.000
<v Speaker B>We're not conspiring. We're just not sure who wants to answer.

698
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:54.000
<v Speaker C>Just letting you know you are quite free to discuss amongst yourselves. We do hope we are getting the most accurate answers.

699
00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:01.000
<v Speaker B>Yes. To the best of our abilities or knowledge. The best of our knowledge.

700
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:02.000
<v Speaker E>How? It's Orton.

701
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, yes.

702
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.000
<v Speaker E>And what were we going to ask after that?

703
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:15.000
<v Speaker A>Maybe, like, how. What does it have. What does it mean to be a thrall? Because, like, a thrall would typically be, you know, like, under the servitude, but he doesn't really know what's going on.

704
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.000
<v Speaker E>What does it mean to be a thrall of the poet?

705
00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:48.000
<v Speaker D>Moonchaser answers. The poet is unique among his kind in that he has the ability to bend others and in truth, bend anything to his own will. For better or for worse. Your friend Uwe has had his will bound to that of the poet.

706
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:50.000
<v Speaker A>That doesn't sound good.

707
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:51.000
<v Speaker E>No, it doesn't.

708
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:57.000
<v Speaker A>Also, if something has the ability to bend anything to their will, doesn't that in nature make them a deific being?

709
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.000
<v Speaker B>Can we ask them why they want to know these things?

710
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.000
<v Speaker A>That could be the next question.

711
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:02.000
<v Speaker E>It could be the next question.

712
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker A>It's there.

713
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.000
<v Speaker E>Channel.

714
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:10.000
<v Speaker D>The three who sit on the moonlit thrones are having a moonlit, hushed conversation.

715
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:11.000
<v Speaker E>I like that. Next question.

716
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker D>That's a good one.

717
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:16.000
<v Speaker B>Just waiting for them to ask theirs if they ask another question.

718
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:26.000
<v Speaker C>I have a question. Neros. What? Are you

719
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.000
<v Speaker B>rude? Is that a question for all people?

720
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:34.000
<v Speaker E>You can't just ask people what they are. Anyway.

721
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.000
<v Speaker B>How do they know your name?

722
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:39.000
<v Speaker E>They know every. They have spies. They've said they have spies.

723
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:42.000
<v Speaker A>They're the leaders of the Moonlit Thrones.

724
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:46.000
<v Speaker B>That's a good point. That's a good point.

725
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:49.000
<v Speaker A>You could just say a fetchling. It's not incorrect.

726
00:47:49.000 --> 00:48:00.000
<v Speaker E>I mean, that is not incorrect. I mean, I am a fetchling. Beyond that, I don't know.

727
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.000
<v Speaker D>Grimmaskull's just, like, peering at you through slitted eyes.

728
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:12.000
<v Speaker E>You can sense motive if you want. I've been trying to Find the truth out of that myself, but I have no idea.

729
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.000
<v Speaker D>He looks to the other two.

730
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:18.000
<v Speaker C>I believe her. She is unaware.

731
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:19.000
<v Speaker A>I don't.

732
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:20.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, no.

733
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:20.000
<v Speaker D>Where?

734
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:27.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, that's not a question. That's me.

735
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker A>They might.

736
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.000
<v Speaker E>They might know. But we need to ask his question.

737
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:34.000
<v Speaker B>We could ask it afterwards, because we

738
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.000
<v Speaker A>don't know how many of these we're going to get.

739
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000
<v Speaker B>We could keep answering questions all day, all night.

740
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, not really. We only have eight hours left.

741
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:44.000
<v Speaker E>Maybe. Maybe.

742
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.000
<v Speaker D>Are you casting time sense?

743
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:51.000
<v Speaker E>If this. If the passage of time that you are feeling is correct, maybe.

744
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:56.000
<v Speaker A>I'm gonna raise my hand. I'm sorry. If anything weird happens, I cast time sense.

745
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.000
<v Speaker D>Roll a D20.

746
00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:03.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I do have a question about that, though. Could he be able to determine the time difference between the first few times?

747
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, yeah.

748
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.000
<v Speaker B>I could just count.

749
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.000
<v Speaker A>Well, no, that's not. That's not valid, because time could be all wobbly wibbly.

750
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:12.000
<v Speaker B>It could be, but you could have a better idea of what you're dealing with anyway.

751
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:14.000
<v Speaker A>11.

752
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.000
<v Speaker D>Your spell works.

753
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.000
<v Speaker A>I'm so terrified of what number makes it not work.

754
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:32.000
<v Speaker D>Your time sense identifies that your sense of time has been accurate and time is flowing as time should. Meaning you have, at this point, about nine hours left.

755
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:33.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

756
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker E>What was the question you wanted to ask, petite?

757
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:42.000
<v Speaker B>Why? For. They want to know where and is what poet that where.

758
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:44.000
<v Speaker A>Why are they asking all this stuff about Uber?

759
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:53.000
<v Speaker B>Okay, well, I mean, we've also got a. Don't listen to this, Jordy. We've also got to phrase the question in a way that it answers multiple questions.

760
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:54.000
<v Speaker E>That's true.

761
00:49:53.000 --> 00:50:02.000
<v Speaker B>Like, for example, whenever I asked, does he go by any other names? I should have asked, what other names does he go by? Because that would have said whether he did or what names he went.

762
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker A>Smart.

763
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker E>That is true.

764
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:07.000
<v Speaker B>So we need to figure out a good name way to phrase this.

765
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.000
<v Speaker A>What do you hope to learn by

766
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.000
<v Speaker E>asking us these questions about the poet?

767
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:21.000
<v Speaker B>I do like that. Because what do you hope to learn? Would say they'll give us their intentions. Yeah.

768
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.000
<v Speaker A>Is that.

769
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:24.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah. Your question.

770
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.000
<v Speaker B>Are you ready for our question?

771
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.000
<v Speaker C>We are.

772
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:35.000
<v Speaker B>What do you hope to learn about with. Sorry. What do you hope to learn about the poet with the questions you're asking

773
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker C>us, primarily his whereabouts. We are concerned that he may be moving in the world of men again, meddling in things that are not his to. Meddling.

774
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:55.000
<v Speaker B>I think that was a good. A good answer. I think that gave us the.

775
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:11.000
<v Speaker D>The. The three have another hushed conversation, and then eventually it starts to get a little bit more Agitated, like they're kind of arguing about something. And then finally, Thun Canas just kind of throws her hands up and turns away and. Grammaskult.

776
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:15.000
<v Speaker C>I believe that will conclude the questions we have for you this evening.

777
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:20.000
<v Speaker B>Why you. You can keep asking us questions. Really? All three of you seem to have something you want.

778
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:21.000
<v Speaker C>Indeed.

779
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:26.000
<v Speaker B>And it'd be fine with all three of you asking separate questions. In fact, why don't you, Spitfire. All three of them off at once.

780
00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.000
<v Speaker A>But we would.

781
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.000
<v Speaker E>That was not in agreement.

782
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:34.000
<v Speaker B>I was putting more of an agreement in the agreement. You just cut me off.

783
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:35.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, sorry.

784
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:40.000
<v Speaker B>You can spit them all at once, and then we can answer three. Ask three questions our own.

785
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.000
<v Speaker A>Not all at once, but, like, sequentially.

786
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:44.000
<v Speaker B>I don't know if they want to say it all at once.

787
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.000
<v Speaker A>It would be very confusing. We wouldn't be able to understand them.

788
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:52.000
<v Speaker B>I think I can figure it out. Go ahead, Jordy. Say three things at the same time.

789
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.000
<v Speaker C>Very well. I will take you up on this offer.

790
00:51:54.000 --> 00:52:15.000
<v Speaker D>And he turns and looks at the others. And Thunkhamas is like, I have no need for further questions. I hope you'll excuse me. And she stands and starts walking away from the table. Moonchaser doesn't even make up an excuse. He just gets up and leaves. Grandma Skull watches them go, looks at the three of you.

791
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:27.000
<v Speaker C>Well, now that we're alone, tell me, how many other Vartir have you seen?

792
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.000
<v Speaker E>Do we know what that is?

793
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:33.000
<v Speaker A>I do, but I don't know if Alward would remember. Would Alward remember?

794
00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:36.000
<v Speaker D>Yes, Albert would remember. You encountered that while you were studying.

795
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:42.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, it means troll, essentially. So I guess.

796
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.000
<v Speaker E>Just so. Pilgrim.

797
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:49.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, but there's. We've been with multiple, you know, Pilgrim. And then there were the two in the forest, and then.

798
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:50.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, that's true.

799
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, no, those were giants.

800
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:52.000
<v Speaker B>And the one who smashed me.

801
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:57.000
<v Speaker E>No, those were. Those were trolls. And the groom. Gif horse. Those were trolls.

802
00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:58.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, they. Yes.

803
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.000
<v Speaker E>And then the Troll King.

804
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, right. Wait, I don't even think.

805
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:04.000
<v Speaker B>Just give him a number.

806
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:05.000
<v Speaker A>What's it.

807
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.000
<v Speaker C>That's

808
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:11.000
<v Speaker A>like six. Around six. Trolls.

809
00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:15.000
<v Speaker C>Hardly likely name them.

810
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:27.000
<v Speaker A>Well, we don't know the name. I don't remember the name for a few of them, but we fought a few in the Grungir forest. One claimed to be a king.

811
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:34.000
<v Speaker C>No, no, I'm afraid I mustn't interject. You claim to have fought Vought here.

812
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:35.000
<v Speaker A>Trolls. Yeah.

813
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:39.000
<v Speaker B>He smashed my head. It hurt.

814
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:49.000
<v Speaker C>I'm afraid there's been a grave misunderstanding here. Vought here. Do not strike anyone.

815
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:58.000
<v Speaker B>It was less of a strike and more of a pound. I don't know. He could have just dropped it.

816
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.000
<v Speaker A>Vaatiyas are trolls, right?

817
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.000
<v Speaker C>That would be a question, wouldn't it?

818
00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:04.000
<v Speaker B>No, it wouldn't.

819
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.000
<v Speaker A>No, no, no, no. Gosh darn it. I'm sorry.

820
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:11.000
<v Speaker B>Well then the answer itself would be none.

821
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:19.000
<v Speaker A>Our understanding is that Vaatir are trolls. So if your question is how many trolls have we encountered? The answer is around six.

822
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:27.000
<v Speaker C>We'll see. So. So I am to take that your best answer to my question would be unknown?

823
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:31.000
<v Speaker A>No, it's around six.

824
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:32.000
<v Speaker C>Around six?

825
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:33.000
<v Speaker A>Yes.

826
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:37.000
<v Speaker C>Believe to have encountered around six var.

827
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:39.000
<v Speaker A>Around six trolls? Yes.

828
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:42.000
<v Speaker B>We've not encountered half trolls.

829
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:47.000
<v Speaker E>I'm assuming that your definition of Vaatir is different from ours. That's not a question, that was a statement.

830
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:48.000
<v Speaker A>And.

831
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:57.000
<v Speaker C>Okay, I recognize that assumption. I will count your question as answered. You may ask one of your own

832
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.000
<v Speaker A>Neros if you would like. It's your.

833
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:14.000
<v Speaker E>Okay. You asked what I am. Yes, I said I don't know. Do you know what I am? Beyond being a fetchling?

834
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:21.000
<v Speaker D>He leans forward, a look of just like total fascination on his face.

835
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:24.000
<v Speaker A>No.

836
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:32.000
<v Speaker C>And believe me, that is very, very rare.

837
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:34.000
<v Speaker E>I don't like that.

838
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:37.000
<v Speaker B>I'm gonna keep an eye out for your spies.

839
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:39.000
<v Speaker C>The Miss Prudence.

840
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:42.000
<v Speaker B>It sounds fun.

841
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:52.000
<v Speaker C>Whom do you believe is justified to determine the nature of reality?

842
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:56.000
<v Speaker B>That is a great question. And I don't know if I have no idea. I understand.

843
00:55:56.000 --> 00:56:00.000
<v Speaker D>Gramaskull is staring at Alward when he asks that.

844
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:02.000
<v Speaker A>Oh.

845
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:05.000
<v Speaker E>Oh, Mr. Rewindy Timey.

846
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:20.000
<v Speaker A>I don't know what you're talking about. That's very philosophical. Do you guys have an answer? No. No.

847
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:22.000
<v Speaker E>Me?

848
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:24.000
<v Speaker B>No, the answer is me.

849
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:25.000
<v Speaker A>You are the answer.

850
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.000
<v Speaker B>Yes.

851
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:27.000
<v Speaker A>You determine reality.

852
00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:28.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

853
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:31.000
<v Speaker A>Are you having. Are you joking or.

854
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:33.000
<v Speaker B>Well, I determine my own reality.

855
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:39.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, that's. That's we. To each person. To each the reality. I suppose.

856
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.000
<v Speaker C>Very diplomatic response.

857
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:47.000
<v Speaker E>I don't think that's what he was looking for.

858
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:50.000
<v Speaker B>Answer coming from me. You know it's gonna be right.

859
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.000
<v Speaker A>Good. Good. Good job, Zephir.

860
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.000
<v Speaker B>Finger guns and a wink.

861
00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:01.000
<v Speaker C>The next question falls to your party to ask.

862
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:05.000
<v Speaker A>What were you all arguing about before they left?

863
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:15.000
<v Speaker D>He had been taking a sip of his wine and he suddenly like, snaps his head over to look at Albert like he's impressed with that question.

864
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:33.000
<v Speaker C>Interesting question. My colleagues are, shall we say, misaligned with my intentions for an accumulation of power. They believe that the questions that I would prefer to ask are best left unanswered.

865
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.000
<v Speaker E>Knowledge is power and all that yes.

866
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:41.000
<v Speaker C>My question. Zafir.

867
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:43.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah.

868
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:52.000
<v Speaker C>Whom do you believe is justified in deciding who lives and who dies?

869
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:53.000
<v Speaker B>That's a great question.

870
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:57.000
<v Speaker C>Thank you.

871
00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:00.000
<v Speaker B>You know, I never really thought about it. You'll have to give me a minute.

872
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:03.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, you were an assassin for quite some time.

873
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:21.000
<v Speaker B>Exactly why I'm having a hard time thinking. I don't believe anyone has full authority over it. Yet circumstances do tend to give themselves to a better justification per person.

874
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:38.000
<v Speaker C>Interesting response. Although we are now even in terms of questions, I'm afraid my time is running short. And being a gracious host, I will permit you all one final question before we move on to the next event in our evening.

875
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:46.000
<v Speaker A>Oh, there's more? Oh, yeah. You guys want to ask about the chalice? Oh, yeah.

876
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:51.000
<v Speaker E>I mean, it does seem like a good opportunity. We have to phrase it just right.

877
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:53.000
<v Speaker A>I know. Especially because we don't know what it's called.

878
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.000
<v Speaker E>No, other than the chalice, we could

879
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.000
<v Speaker B>say, like, what is the purpose of the multiple chalices?

880
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:03.000
<v Speaker A>Well, the answer to that would be to hold drink.

881
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:07.000
<v Speaker B>Yeah, that's good. The ghostly multiple chalices.

882
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.000
<v Speaker E>The chalice, the soul drinking.

883
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:18.000
<v Speaker A>He has spies. So he would know of. So what if we just mention, on our journey, we've, you know, found the

884
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:22.000
<v Speaker E>chalices in one of our adventuring party.

885
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:54.000
<v Speaker A>So, like, what are they? Does that think? Yeah, okay. You know of our adventures. So far, as you've stated, you have multiple spies. And on our adventures, we've encountered a specific chalice multiple times. It's made of stone. It's something to do with green fog. What is it? Oh, I butchered that last part. Owen's, like, very upset with himself.

886
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:59.000
<v Speaker C>A device for connection.

887
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.000
<v Speaker D>He grins like he knows that that

888
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:04.000
<v Speaker C>was not what you wanted to know.

889
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:08.000
<v Speaker A>I mean, it's more than what we knew. So, thank you.

890
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:16.000
<v Speaker C>But of course, you've been most charming guests. And now we shall move on to the next portion of our evening.

891
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:34.000
<v Speaker D>He stands up and claps again. And the table in front of you just drops into, suddenly, a pit that's open in the middle of the room. And as you look down into the pit, it just appears to be pure blackness.

892
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:38.000
<v Speaker B>That seems like a lot of work just to drop it into the pit.

893
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:43.000
<v Speaker A>I know we're not doing the question thing anymore, but you're not going to kill us, are you?

894
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:44.000
<v Speaker C>No.

895
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:45.000
<v Speaker A>Okay.

896
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:48.000
<v Speaker C>Well, not directly.

897
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:49.000
<v Speaker E>We should have left.

898
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:50.000
<v Speaker A>We should have left.

899
01:00:50.000 --> 01:01:04.000
<v Speaker C>You see, my dear visitors, I am Grummaskolt, and I prize knowledge above all else. Since you've proven yourself unwilling to provide information Honestly and directly through a series

900
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.000
<v Speaker A>of questioning we've done that.

901
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:08.000
<v Speaker E>We haven't lied.

902
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:15.000
<v Speaker B>And frankly, forcing someone to be honest is worse than getting true honesty out of us, which we've done.

903
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.000
<v Speaker E>You can't prove that we've lied to you.

904
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:18.000
<v Speaker A>It's its fate.

905
01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:27.000
<v Speaker C>You did not drink the wine provided merely for the reason of ensuring honesty. Thus I must assume you intended to lie.

906
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:31.000
<v Speaker A>I simply did not like alcohol. You could have provided me with another drink.

907
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:45.000
<v Speaker C>Be that as it may, there's other information that I wish to glean that cannot be gained from mere questioning. Such as, where is a human's true bound breaking point?

908
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.000
<v Speaker E>None of us. None of us are really human.

909
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:50.000
<v Speaker B>Really, none of us is a Fetch.

910
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:52.000
<v Speaker C>You're all kind of human.

911
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:54.000
<v Speaker A>And I'm. I'm an elf.

912
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.000
<v Speaker C>Well, there's a Fetchley breaking.

913
01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:01.000
<v Speaker E>So if you want to know what a human's breaking point is, you'll have to get someone else. Not us.

914
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:02.000
<v Speaker B>Do you want us to jump in the hole?

915
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:04.000
<v Speaker C>I do indeed.

916
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.000
<v Speaker B>I jump in the hole I have

917
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:08.000
<v Speaker A>no way of stopping him from.

918
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.000
<v Speaker B>I jump in the hole.

919
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:19.000
<v Speaker D>And as Zafir like goes through where the floor would be, he just disappears from sight.

920
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:21.000
<v Speaker E>Idiot.

921
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:24.000
<v Speaker A>We. We have to go after him.

922
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:30.000
<v Speaker E>Yeah, I know. I don't like you. She says to the troll.

923
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:32.000
<v Speaker A>We were having such a good conversation.

924
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:49.000
<v Speaker C>Not to worry. I will offer you a bargain. Should you be able to catch up to your friend and accomplish a series of three challenges that lie before you before the moon sets, you'll be free to go.

925
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.000
<v Speaker E>And if we don't? Then we stay forever.

926
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.000
<v Speaker C>Something like that.

927
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:08.000
<v Speaker A>Howard sits down, putting his feet in the abyss. Fine. And it just flops down.

928
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:20.000
<v Speaker E>What if we refused? What would you do? Would you just kill us? Well, what good is that if you just really want knowledge?

929
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:28.000
<v Speaker C>I suppose I could answer all of my questions with just the two of your friends. Have a good evening, heroes.

930
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:32.000
<v Speaker D>And the hole in the floor begins to close up.

931
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:34.000
<v Speaker A>Come and join us.

932
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:35.000
<v Speaker E>I don't want to.

933
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:40.000
<v Speaker A>I'm scared. I'm scared too. But we'll make it through it together.

934
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:45.000
<v Speaker E>She shoots the troll, the bird, and then jumps in the hole.

935
01:03:45.000 --> 01:04:12.000
<v Speaker D>And as soon as Neros disappears inside the hole, it finishes and just snaps shut the rest of the way. And our episode will end just on a close up of Gramaskull just grinning to himself. And the hero point for today's episode goes to Petit for his consistent ability to think like Faye. You got me, like right at the beginning of the episode.

936
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:14.000
<v Speaker C>And I didn't change my mind by the end.

937
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:36.000
<v Speaker B>I know nothing about this game. So when it comes to things that don't make sense, I'm. It's right up my alley. So that. That. That works. But thank you. Thank you for playing to the whims of entropy. That's my new phrase for the week. Hopefully you guys like it. But yeah, I'm gonna go take down the government.

938
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:39.000
<v Speaker A>I'll tag along.

939
01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:40.000
<v Speaker E>I'll come with.

940
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:46.000
<v Speaker D>I guess I'll stay here and check out our company, Discord, see if anybody's on there chatting.

941
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:49.000
<v Speaker E>No, you have to come with me because we're married.

942
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:50.000
<v Speaker A>Yeah, you can't.

943
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:51.000
<v Speaker D>Oh, is this a date?

944
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:53.000
<v Speaker E>For better or for worse, honey.

945
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:56.000
<v Speaker A>And plus, since you're married, you can't go against each other in court, in

946
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:01.000
<v Speaker E>sickness or in mental health.

947
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:03.000
<v Speaker D>We'll see you all the next episode.

948
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.000
<v Speaker A>Bye.

950
01:05:56.000 --> 01:06:05.000
<v Speaker C>Primarily his whereabouts. We are concerned. We just want to talk.

951
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:07.000
<v Speaker A>No, that's not good.

952
01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:08.000
<v Speaker D>I'm going to do a serious one of them.

953
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:12.000
<v Speaker B>Feel like I left something out. Hold on.

954
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:13.000
<v Speaker A>Sorry.
