554 00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:51,600 All right, Hammy, you know what to do. 555 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:53,860 Okay. 556 00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:59,039 I fucking love Thea. 557 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:00,480 It's so great. 558 00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:02,400 You got this, right? 559 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,800 I'm making not clear gestures. 560 00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,000 He looks at you like, 561 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,080 what are you talking about? 562 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,400 And he looks at Patrick. 563 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,200 He's like, 564 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,240 Patrick, we need some armor. 565 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240 I am not wearing my armor 566 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,160 because apparently these folks say 567 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,560 that there's a charm on the acts of Mirabar armor, 568 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:30,240 which has turned them into something, 569 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,559 something that's not normal. 570 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:35,279 I mean, you made a deal with her. 571 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:36,480 You should probably just give her, 572 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,079 even if she's paid. 573 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,599 Patrick says, 574 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:41,519 Fine, fine. 575 00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:42,559 I'll give you the armor. 576 00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:43,519 Thanks, Patty. 577 00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:44,480 You're the best. 578 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,160 And I should have something in your size there, Torgar. 579 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,480 So he goes into the back 580 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,799 and brings out armor for Torgar and for you. 581 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,880 How pretty is it? 582 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,480 It is very pretty. 583 00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,759 It is very shiny. 584 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240 It is plate armor. 585 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,480 You lift it and it is light as a feather. 586 00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,440 I give him 30 gold pieces 587 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,599 just because I'm so happy. 588 00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:10,400 Why do you gotta, 589 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:13,039 whatever. 590 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,799 He takes the 30 gold. 591 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:20,799 You are hilarious with the money. 592 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:22,960 A watching contradiction. 593 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,880 But then I pay him anyway. 594 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,380 Yeah. 595 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,000 This is how I do it. 596 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,480 He hands the armor to Torgar 597 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,240 and you both now have armor. 598 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,000 I put mine on and I go to Nulara 599 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,960 and I go, zip me up. 600 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,839 I zip her up. 601 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,599 Sure, it's a zipper. 602 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:42,099 Why not? 603 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,680 I was just being funny, 604 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,039 like how girls put on dresses 605 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:48,640 and then they have to get someone to zip them up. 606 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,359 It's a zipper. 607 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:49,859 Okay. 608 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,359 The only zipper in Faerun. 609 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,160 You've got it. 610 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,440 That would be amazing. 611 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,839 You know how complicated it is to put on armor? 612 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,920 You need a page to put it on you 613 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,680 and tie it up piece by piece. 614 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,799 It's exhausting. 615 00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:05,599 Zip, zip. 616 00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:06,400 This is amazing. 617 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,640 That was worth the 30 extra gold you just gave him. 618 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,519 Certainly was. 619 00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:11,279 What's my armor class now? 620 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,400 You have a 16 armor class. 621 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,079 Hoping for 18, but okay. 622 00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:17,839 What kind of armor do you think is gonna give you? 623 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:19,200 I don't even have 18. 624 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,680 I was gonna say I don't have 18. 625 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,119 Damn, badass. 626 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,039 I'm wearing badass scale mail 627 00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,160 and I don't even have 18. 628 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,960 Your armor class without armor is 11. 629 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,320 So you have plus five armor. 630 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,320 Damn, that's nice. 631 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,600 Okay, amazing. 632 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,920 I just feel like I get hit a lot. 633 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,360 Well, you do because you put yourself 634 00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:38,560 in the middle of gargoyle. 635 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:41,759 You do kind of jump right in. 636 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:42,800 That room was small. 637 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360 Yeah, we were all in the middle of some stuff 638 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,680 in that dungeon. 639 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,720 That room was tiny. 640 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,920 You are a squishy druid. 641 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,880 Just keep that in mind. 642 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,840 But now you're a little less squishy. 643 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,640 So you guys are all armored up. 644 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,880 Patrick, can you tell us anything about the soldiers? 645 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,160 Did you make their armor? 646 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,320 Did you notice anything different about it? 647 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,520 We're trying to figure out how to fight these guys 648 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,880 or how to stop the charm that Prisbane has on them. 649 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,840 There's me and another blacksmith in town 650 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,160 that have been making the armor 651 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,440 and they do use a rare metal alloy 652 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,560 that we've been developing. 653 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:25,519 It's not used for any other type of armor. 654 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:28,960 That's the only real difference. 655 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,079 What's the metal called? 656 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,279 Well, we've been working with Clan Ironstar 657 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:35,440 to use their dark steel alloy 658 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,919 and combine that with mithril armor. 659 00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:40,559 A dark mithril alloy, if you will. 660 00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:43,119 And no one else in town is allowed to use it. 661 00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:46,000 It's specifically for the acts of Mirabar. 662 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,519 But, you know, seems kind of big now. 663 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,000 But really that's the only difference though. 664 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,920 I bet that has something to do with the spell. 665 00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:57,279 It'd be an easy way to target it, wouldn't it? 666 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,279 Do I know any, like, out of character, 667 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,440 do I know of this spell? 668 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,039 Is there any way that I can... 669 00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,200 You know that there are... 670 00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:10,000 Did I ask this already? 671 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,680 Now I feel like it may have asked already. 672 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240 And you said you know that there are control spells. 673 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,119 In character, you know that there are 674 00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:19,119 spells that can control minds, 675 00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:21,839 usually done by necromantic wizards. 676 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,280 However, you know those spells have limitations. 677 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,680 You know, usually if they're going to do that, 678 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,800 there's a set number of targets 679 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 that they are able to control 680 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,760 while maintaining concentration. 681 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,240 But what you've seen is likely 682 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,600 he has control of 1,000 soldiers, 683 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,600 which is far outside the realm 684 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,400 of what you know could be possible 685 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,320 by a spell of that sort. 686 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,079 I imagine him sitting in a room somewhere 687 00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:54,319 with the look of like consternation, 688 00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:57,119 just the constant focus 689 00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:59,039 of trying to keep track of 1,000. 690 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,759 But you know that there likely 691 00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:05,519 could be something else at play 692 00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,879 along with some sort of control spell. 693 00:31:08,879 --> 00:31:11,599 Well, I want to hit things, you guys. 694 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:12,799 I want things to hit me. 695 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:15,039 I want to test this metal. 696 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:15,919 Where to? 697 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,360 Should we try to find the other dwarf? 698 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,279 Or should we try like, 699 00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:25,840 do you want to just like go find Primsbane? 700 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,480 I don't really, I feel bad actually. 701 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,440 Maybe you guys can just remind me. 702 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,880 When we fought the dwarves in the dungeon, 703 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,960 like, did they ever come back to themselves? 704 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,720 Like, do we have to kill all of them? 705 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,680 Or can we break the spell? 706 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,440 We tried taking off the armor 707 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,920 because that was the only thing 708 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,039 that we could think to really do. 709 00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,360 And we're not like super magical. 710 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,960 So there might be a magic fix, 711 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,120 but taking off the armor didn't help. 712 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,039 No, and their faces were blue 713 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:03,360 with like black veins and stuff like that. 714 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,519 So I guess like my inclination 715 00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:07,200 would be to go to the source 716 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,880 and see if that, 717 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,039 like if we kill Primsbane, 718 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:12,720 if they become uncharmed 719 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,320 rather than just like fighting 720 00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:15,759 and killing a bunch of people, 721 00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:17,119 like it's not their fault. 722 00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:17,519 Yeah. 723 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:18,399 Oh, no, for sure. 724 00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:20,319 We should try to take out Primsbane. 725 00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:20,960 Yes. 726 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,519 Okay. 727 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,759 Hammer Stryker, where do you think Primsbane is? 728 00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:27,599 He's the one we need to find. 729 00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:29,200 We need to kill him 730 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,439 and see if we can save these soldiers. 731 00:32:31,439 --> 00:32:33,839 The most fortified location in the city 732 00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:35,839 is likely where you were 733 00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:37,839 when you were in the brig. 734 00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:42,879 That building has the most fortified position. 735 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,360 It's the hardest to get into. 736 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,080 There's only really two entrances, 737 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,800 the front and there's one getaway exit 738 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,920 out the rear, 739 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,280 which exits into the tunnels. 740 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,760 So we do have a way in 741 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,680 through the underground system. 742 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,400 My guess is if he's in town 743 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,520 and doing this, 744 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,800 that's where he would be. 745 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,920 Back to the dungeon. 746 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,600 I guess we don't know if he's in town, 747 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,520 but it's a good starting spot. 748 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:15,760 Let's go. 749
