1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
It strikes dead in the center, and the tiles explode.

3
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
We're still just going to head towards that safe door?

4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Yeah.

5
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So there's some kind of puzzle here, I assume?

6
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Do we care about it, or should we leave?

7
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Yeah, we lower the bucket into the well, collect water, and put it in the basin.

8
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
You drop it down, and it fills up with water, and you pull it back up.

9
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
I hand it to Nularaaaa, and I'm like, go throw it in the basin.

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Aye, aye, captain!

11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I run down the stairs, fill up the bucket again, run back up, pour it in, pull the lever.

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
You see a small opening form in the bottom of the basin, and the water disappears.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Guys, I think we're just like in a washroom. I don't even know what I'm doing.

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Neat, we're all really proud of you, Nularaaaa.

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
But maybe we should check another door, because I don't know if I have the mental capacity for this room right now.

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The door to the north, which was a large double door.

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
I say we go north.

18
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
You see that appears to be bowing into the room you are in.

19
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,000
But as you, one, two, three, open these doors, broken stone and boulders pour into this room.

20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So you guys take a rest after you were beaten by boulders.

21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The only passageway unsearched is the hallway to the west.

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Well, it seemed like the easiest way to go, and we chose to ignore it.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So guess that's on us, guys.

24
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So you guys decide to continue down the hallway.

25
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
And as you get nearing the end of the hallway, you step down onto a plate.

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Well, nice knowing you guys.

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

28
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
We are a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast.

29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

30
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And with me today is Carla Johnson.

31
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Oh, I was first.

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Hi, I'm Carla.

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I play Nularaaaa Moonbrook.

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And Tom Laird.

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Hey, I'm Tom and I play Flintfire Beard.

36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And of course, Amy More.

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Of course.

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I'm Amy More.

39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I repeated my name again.

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And I play.

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It's okay. Everybody else did too.

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
We all did too.

43
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Oh, good. Yes.

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And I play Thea Amastasia.

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Welcome, everybody.

46
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
How is everybody doing?

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
I have hives.

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So we're doing great then.

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
I don't have hives.

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Me neither.

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So on that scale, I'm great.

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
The hive free dream.

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
How are you, Russ?

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We never ask you how you are.

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
You never ask me how I am.

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
How are you doing?

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I'm doing pretty good, guys.

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Pretty good.

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Oh, wait.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Was that like a Joey from Friends?

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Like a how you doing?

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
How you doing?

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Doing all right.

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Nothing helps a marriage along like playing D&D in a walk-in closet.

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Yeah.

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
That's where we live now when we record.

67
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
This is our home now.

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
We can only record for two hours at a time because it gets real hot.

69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yeah, it does.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Temperature wise.

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Just remember, Tom and I are also on the line, please.

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Yep.

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Yeah, we're getting cleaned.

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:46,000
During the last couple of weeks, we've been running a contest where you could just get sent a sticker just for sharing an episode of our own

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
creation.

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
That was a terrible way to describe that.

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
But it doesn't really matter because the contest is over.

78
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
And I just want to say congratulations to everybody who got a sticker because it's in the mail.

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
That was weird.

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Do you want to do that again?

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
No.

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Okay.

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Contest is over.

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Doesn't matter.

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
I'm just congratulating them.

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Okay.

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Yay.

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Good job, everybody.

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Thank you.

90
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Thank you.

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Now let's play some D&D.

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:19,000
You were walking down a long, dark hallway that descended deep into the tomb that you're in.

93
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Flint, being first, and having failed his perception check.

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Hey, I got a 15, which is very respectable.

95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Mm-hmm.

96
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Yep.

97
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Activated a plate, which caused the circular mosaic pattern in the room behind you to open up.

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And through the floor came a seven-foot diameter sphere made of hundreds of skeletal bodies

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
that tipped forward and began to roll down the hallway towards you.

100
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
I have an important question.

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Okay.

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Are these skeletons alive?

103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Are they moving like they're trapped in this ball?

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Like...

105
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
No.

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Okay.

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
It does not appear that they are alive.

108
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Solid sound effect work, though.

109
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
That was nice.

110
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
That was good.

111
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Yeah.

112
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
And that is what I pictured as well.

113
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Like they're reaching for us?

114
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Now that I know they're just dead bones, it's a little bit less scary.

115
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Yeah, but I mean, it's spinning faster and faster, and it's like, with the flailing,

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
like they're grabbing.

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
I will have nightmares about this later.

118
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Yeah.

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Make a dexterity saving throw.

120
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Dexterity saving throw.

121
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
That's terrifying.

122
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Oh, Amy didn't do very well.

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
So that's a solid five, which I...

124
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Oh, 17.

125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
It's got to be good.

126
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
13.

127
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
I thought mine was bad, but not the worst.

128
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah.

129
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Guys, I'm gonna get crushed.

130
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,720
You being first, obviously you had the better dexterity of your friends who followed behind

131
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,000
you, and you just didn't move quite fast enough, I think, getting out of the hallway.

132
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I just didn't tell them that something was coming.

133
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Yeah.

134
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
You heard the click, but then you just bolted.

135
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
So you...

136
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Like, where are you going?

137
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
As this sphere comes crashing down the hallway, it...

138
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Kickles me inappropriately.

139
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Yeah.

140
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Thea and Nulara get grabbed and pulled in by the skeletal hands into the sphere, which

141
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:17,000
continues to roll into the next room and smashes against the wall at the far end of

142
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
this room.

143
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
So, Flint, you're gonna take half damage on this first part.

144
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm so glad I rolled all those hit dice.

145
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
That's not the right dice.

146
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Too many.

147
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Oh, no, that's the right amount of dice.

148
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
It's just the wrong dice.

149
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
No, I would have preferred the D6s.

150
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Yeah.

151
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Yeah, and maybe just like two of them?

152
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So...

153
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Try a D4 if you rolled one of those recently.

154
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
I haven't.

155
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
It's like a little pyramid.

156
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Yeah.

157
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:58,000
So, on the initial hit of the boulder, Thea and Nulara are going to take 21

158
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
bludgeoning damage.

159
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Flint, you will take half of that.

160
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Oh, shit.

161
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
But the boulder kept rolling and it hits the far wall.

162
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,000
You, too, are caught in an explosion of bones and stone, and you take another amount

163
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
of damage.

164
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Oh, my God.

165
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
I don't like this only because I cannot fight back against this.

166
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Yeah, no, this just happens.

167
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Like, this is not...

168
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
There is no revenge.

169
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
That is another 19 damage.

170
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Oh, my God.

171
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Jesus Christ.

172
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Holy shit.

173
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
That one is a combination of bludgeoning and slashing damage.

174
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Oh, my God.

175
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
And you are thrown into this next room trying to get a sense of what has just

176
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
happened.

177
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Thea, are you still alive?

178
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Yeah.

179
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
What?

180
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I can't see you.

181
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I'm, like, buried under all these, like, bone.

182
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I'm, like, picking body parts off of myself.

183
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Just, like...

184
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Oh, my God.

185
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I was thinking that ball was, like, a writhing mass of living skeletons, kind

186
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
of like the shambly creature that was made of earth that was going to get us

187
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
last time.

188
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Last time in the sidescroller game.

189
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Just...

190
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Oh.

191
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Yeah, I was going to say, yes.

192
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
No one here knows what you're talking about.

193
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

194
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
We'll put a link in the description.

195
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Little doobly-doo.

196
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Yep.

197
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
I was so relieved when I found out that was not the case.

198
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
And now I feel so dumb.

199
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
I was so innocent three minutes ago that I thought I wasn't going to get

200
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
eaten by a ball of living skeletons instead.

201
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
That innocence was smashed.

202
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Smashed.

203
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Yeah.

204
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Anyway, are we, can we dig ourselves out of this bone?

205
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Oh, yeah, yeah.

206
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000
You're, like, you're thrown into this room as you exploded against the far

207
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
wall.

208
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And this room that you're in now, once you kind of get your bearings

209
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:21,000
again, you get the rich smell of incense and rich tapestries cover the

210
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
walls.

211
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
I swear to God I thought you were going to say mahogany.

212
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Many leather-bound books.

213
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Large double doors are seen to the north and a single door in the

214
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
southeast corner.

215
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000
As you stand up and kind of brush yourself off there, you hear an

216
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
unfamiliar voice that speaks forth in a whisper and it fills the

217
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:57,000
room and says, humility proffered in the manner of mistral shelters

218
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
those opening the way to seeking knowledge.

219
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
What?

220
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
What you guys want to do?

221
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Anyone have any thoughts about what they, like, everyone else heard

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
that, right?

223
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Yeah.

224
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Thea's worried, like, it's just in her head.

225
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
I heard it.

226
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Because, you know, I hit my head pretty hard.

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
So I never know.

228
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Yeah, I've definitely got, like, tinnitus now from just getting

229
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
bashed around in there.

230
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Oh, God.

231
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Humility.

232
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Well, we're, like, the most humble people, so no problem.

233
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
I'm feeling pretty humiliated right now, actually.

234
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, me too.

235
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Me too.

236
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Well, I don't know what that mystical voice meant.

237
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Anybody?

238
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
No, I don't even know what some of those words mean.

239
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
I know.

240
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And I'm fairly well-read and I'm at a loss here.

241
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
I don't...

242
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
I think we need to sing.

243
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
I was going to say, like, minstrel?

244
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Like, song?

245
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Mm.

246
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Mistrel spelled M-Y-S-T-R-I-L.

247
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Oh, like, a mystical thing.

248
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Shit.

249
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
I've never encountered the word mistrel before.

250
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
You...

251
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
I've never encountered the word...

252
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
What was the word that started the P?

253
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Proffered.

254
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Proffered?

255
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Proffered.

256
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Like, pro-offered?

257
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Proffered?

258
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
No.

259
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Like, offered before.

260
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Mm-hmm.

261
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Like, before offer.

262
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000
If we give someone a mystical song before something happens and be humiliated by it,

263
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
we will be safe to go through one of these doors.

264
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
You're not.

265
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Thea pats herself on the back for solving the mystery.

266
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
And the humility is gone and another giant ball comes and crushes us.

267
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Damn it.

268
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
The ceiling opens up and you're all dead.

269
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Game over.

270
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Bye.

271
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Thea crisscross applesauces, brings out a pen and paper, and starts to, like, jot

272
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
down some good lyrics.

273
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Like, sweet, deep lyrics.

274
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
You're not far off, so I'm going to give you some assistance.

275
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
All three of you make a religion check, which is intelligence.

276
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Oh, see, it fails miserably.

277
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
How is that even possible?

278
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Wait, Ross, how much time went by?

279
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Am I still affected by my bonus intelligence roll?

280
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Yeah, you're still good.

281
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Short rest is a very short period of time.

282
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
So you've got 24 hours.

283
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,000
So you've probably been down there for, I'd say, max two hours.

284
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
It feels like a lifetime.

285
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Whoa, 18.

286
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I rolled a three.

287
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Sorry.

288
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Oh, me too.

289
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Geez.

290
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
So you hear this whisper through the room of Flint, and it reminds you of a holy

291
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
gesture among adherents of the fallen goddess Mistral involving turning the head

292
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
downward and raising the hands as if holding a lamp.

293
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Okay, guys, we have to not really bow our heads, but turn our heads downward and

294
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
hold our arms up as if we were holding a lamp.

295
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Okay.

296
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Okay.

297
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
We do it.

298
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
I do that.

299
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I also do that.

300
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Just in the middle of the room?

301
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Yeah.

302
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Can I look around the room?

303
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Are there any like symbols or a statue or anything we can be doing this toward?

304
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Sure.

305
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
You see there are six rich tapestries that cover the walls.

306
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Nothing that has any real meaning to any of you.

307
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
There are the large double doors, the hallway that you were thrown out of, and

308
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
then one smaller door to the southeast.

309
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
No writing or anything on those doors?

310
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
No.

311
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Nothing engraved, nothing of that any sort.

312
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Nothing to show us who Mistral might be?

313
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Nope.

314
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Maybe the middle of the room is the best place.

315
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Oh, you want to go in front of a door?

316
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I've been burdened before.

317
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Me too.

318
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I'm going to go up to the double door and do that.

319
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Oh, God.

320
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I go behind her.

321
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
It's because you're smart.

322
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Well, I trust you, but I also have very few life points left.

323
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
No, Thea's very smart.

324
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
This is a good thing.

325
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
It did not work out well last time.

326
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Thea's wary.

327
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Sorry.

328
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Nulara is going up and doing this.

329
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Thea is doing the same.

330
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Flint, what are you doing?

331
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I will join them.

332
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Nulara, after Flint explains this, just storms over to the double door and

333
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
does the gesture to the fallen goddess Mistral.

334
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Thea and Flint follow behind and do the same.

335
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
And nothing happens.

336
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Let's try the other door.

337
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Do it in front of the other door.

338
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Exactly.

339
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
You do the same.

340
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
And again, nothing happens.

341
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
In front of the tapestries.

342
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Guys, maybe we have to do this in the midst of a moment of when we are needed to be showing humility.

343
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Oh, this is like a tip for the future.

344
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Not a magic key to open these doors.

345
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Maybe not.

346
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I mean, we haven't even tried the doors yet.

347
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
They could just open.

348
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Hashtag pro tip.

349
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Hashtag common sense.

350
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
So maybe we can...

351
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Thea, that's why you're the smart one.

352
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
So Thea goes to...

353
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Oh, shit.

354
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Well, we're already standing at the small door.

355
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,000
So Thea reaches out and opens the small door.

356
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Proactive door opening noise.

357
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Yes, I'm very on with the sound effects tonight.

358
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
You open the small door in this room.

359
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And it's just a small single door.

360
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,000
It opens into a short, dusty, about 10 foot long cobwebbed hallway.

361
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,000
And then there is another door cracked slightly ajar at the other end of this hallway.

362
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I just yelled down, hello?

363
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
It seems undisturbed.

364
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Yes.

365
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
We are following people, right?

366
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Yeah.

367
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Let's try the other door.

368
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Don't you think?

369
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Unless those...

370
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
We're trying to find that dude.

371
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Unless those people found their end down the other door and they should have gone this way.

372
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Well, you raise a very smart point.

373
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Hopefully they tripped any traps.

374
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Trip, trap, trip, trap.

375
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
And they're, you know, trapped in one of the traps.

376
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Trip, trap, trip, trap.

377
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
God damn it.

378
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Trip, trap, patty wrap.

379
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Flint, what do you think?

380
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,000
It kind of made it sound, the voice that we heard, it kind of made it sound like we should do that if we're in trouble.

381
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Did anyone else get that impression?

382
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Yeah.

383
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Yeah.

384
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
So you think we should go down the next door?

385
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I don't know.

386
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
That was the question, Flint.

387
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
That was the only question.

388
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Can we walk down this...

389
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Flint, do you want to walk down this hallway or you want to try the double door?

390
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Doesn't look like anybody's been this way.

391
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Let's go double door.

392
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Great.

393
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Doubling down at the double door.

394
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Let's do it.

395
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
With double door.

396
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
You back up.

397
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
We stride purposely towards the double door.

398
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I grab the handle, pull it and jump back out of the way of the door.

399
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I'm also like way out of the way.

400
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm like middle of the room, but off to the side so I can jump out with more speed.

401
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And I'm making the head down lantern holding pose.

402
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Oh, good.

403
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:41,000
The double doors swing open, revealing as you jump back and then kind of creep forward as nothing comes out at you.

404
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Revealing a throne on a massive dais resembling a floating cloud concealing a golden sun.

405
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Seated on the throne is a 12 foot tall regal and well-muscled humanoid male with flowing white beard and purple toga.

406
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:10,000
As majestic as this room appears to you, you smell the distinct scent of dust and decay.

407
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:23,000
And at the foot of the throne is a pile of treasure, including a large sum of silver, silver necklaces and a vial that appears to contain a potion of some sort.

408
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Even at a quick glance, you see that the pile contains hundreds of copper pieces and worthless bits of jewelry and pottery.

409
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:41,000
In this room, there's another set of double doors on the same wall you entered to your right and another single door to your left.

410
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I like the sheer silence of what's happening.

411
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
We're just kind of like, what did we just walk in on?

412
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Is the humanoid, like it smells of dust and decay, is a dead person or it is a living person?

413
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:07,000
It appears to you as a 12 foot tall regal and well-muscled humanoid male, but you smell in the room dust and decay.

414
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:20,000
It appears like the room is very well put together, but you still smell the same kind of dust and dankness that came from every other room that you've been in before.

415
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Well, there's something fishy about this room.

416
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Totally.

417
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
My initial thought is that guy shouldn't have sat down on that throne. I have a feeling like he can't get up.

418
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:36,000
I lift an arm and kind of like wave it to see if his hands move, if his eyes move.

419
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:42,000
You're standing in the doorway there. He doesn't appear to acknowledge you or make any movement towards you.

420
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I look at, before we come through into the door, can I make a check for any sort of, I don't know, plates that might be stepped on, wires to be tripped?

421
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You can make an investigation check.

422
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I would like to make an investigation check.

423
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Fuck my rules. That's a three plus a who the fuck cares.

424
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Guys, I don't see any traps, any problems, but I'd really feel better if someone else took a look at this because I have some of the bone dust in my eyes from that horrific experience back there.

425
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Yeah, just two heads away from one situation.

426
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Good thinking.

427
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
15.

428
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Well, I'm not going to beat a nat 20 on a second rule.

429
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
None of you can see any visible traps of any sort.

430
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
And it doesn't appear that there's any noticeable signs of any char marks or or dirt holes or anything like that.

431
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
They would normally set you off or plates in the ground.

432
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
I advance cautiously into the room.

433
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I don't know if we should even go into this room, to be honest with you.

434
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
What? I have a feeling like he's Vram the White.

435
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
No, Vram the White is a dwarf.

436
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Oh shit.

437
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
This is a big dude.

438
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Sorry, I heard white beard and just got all sorts of excited.

439
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Vram the White is a dwarf.

440
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
This is a 12 foot tall.

441
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Shit.

442
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
A humanoid male of some sort.

443
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Also, I don't know if Vram really rocks a toga or not.

444
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
It's purple.

445
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
It was purple.

446
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It's his favorite color.

447
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
For someone named the White, I don't think purple is their favorite color.

448
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Yes, it's part of the dragon cult and purple is their color.

449
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
He was, as you guys discussed in...

450
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
He's defected.

451
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Well, no, he was last seen in purple robes at the settlement near Borskear Bridge.

452
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
I don't know.

453
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It just seems to me like the room is a trap.

454
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Like it looks pretty, but something's not right.

455
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Okay.

456
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Well, our options are go back and go down that other little hallway or go through one of the doors in this room.

457
00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:00,000
There's also another option of the little thing that we found off to the side as well with the rope or whatever to get down in.

458
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Like the dumbwaiter.

459
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Right.

460
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
That we passed on last episode.

461
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Also true.

462
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Yes.

463
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I think we can all agree we probably don't care about this treasure, so no trap there, yes?

464
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Or maybe we just need to not touch anything.

465
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Yeah.

466
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It's like a cave of wonders situation.

467
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
All right.

468
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Yeah.

469
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Let's go in and let's just like not touch anything.

470
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Okay.

471
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
You all cautiously begin to walk into the room.

472
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:37,000
And as you step a few feet in, the room is about 30 feet in front of you and 50 feet wide.

473
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,000
The throne sits directly in the center on the wall facing you.

474
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,000
At the back?

475
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Yeah, at the back of the room.

476
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:54,000
As you step slowly into the room, you hear a voice come from the humanoid.

477
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And it says in a soothing and magnificent voice,

478
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Well, I mean, we got to lay a tribute down or we got to get out.

479
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Those are their two options.

480
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Yeah.

481
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And we're all about being humble and like reverent in this temple.

482
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
So what do we got this good?

483
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
I just looked at my treasure list on my character sheet.

484
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
It's all disappeared.

485
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
But for sure, we like had some money or whatever.

486
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Oh, yeah.

487
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
We had a bunch of gold and whatnot.

488
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Yeah.

489
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:48,000
So I don't know the exchange rate on gold coins to tribute,

490
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
but Nularaaaa probably does.

491
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:59,000
So she puts, she opens her little satchel and puts some money down.

492
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Based on what you kind of see already at his feet,

493
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
there are things of higher value and,

494
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
but there are a lot of things of very low value as well.

495
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Thea goes forward and places a handful of precious stones that she has.

496
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Yeah, I go up and put down some gold, gold coins.

497
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
I take off my deer skin hat and lay that at its feet as well.

498
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
As each of you step forward and lay your tribute,

499
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,000
he speaks forth to each of you and says, you shall pass.

500
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Sweet.

501
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And again, writes his position and just looks at the wall on the other side.

502
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000
All right.

503
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
It's just an automaton, you guys.

504
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Is he a robot?

505
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
So big door and double door.

506
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Especially like a motion sensor light.

507
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Totally.

508
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Totally.

509
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000
A really cool one.

510
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
If you turn, if you were to turn around in the room, there are the double,

511
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
there's the double door that you walked in.

512
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
And then to your left, as you're looking at that wall,

513
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
there are another set of double doors and another single door on the west

514
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
side of the wall.

515
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000
So as you were walking in, it would have been to your left.

516
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Well, I think I liked the beast on the East beach least.

517
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
So I think we should go to.

518
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Alright, Dr. Seuss.

519
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Shout out to Dr. Seuss.

520
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
I think we should go through the double door.

521
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I think we should go through the double doors.

522
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
It just feels like a natural flow, like a progression through.

523
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Agreed.

524
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
The double doors seem more imposing and more like the ones this guy would be

525
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,000
guarding.

526
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Sure.

527
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Sweet.

528
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Do we, is there anything like specifically different about this door,

529
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
or is it just another set of double doors?

530
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Looks very much the same as the other set.

531
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Not bulging outward.

532
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
There's zero bulging happening at these doors.

533
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I walk to the door like reverently, like, you know,

534
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
like we have just been bestowed the right to enter.

535
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
And I take that seriously.

536
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:11,000
You open the double doors after having paid your tribute and you swing

537
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:17,000
them open and step into what looks to be an old library or study.

538
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
The walls are lined with empty dusty shelves and tables.

539
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Any scrolls or tomes that were in here appear to be long gone.

540
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
And on the right side of the room,

541
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
there is a door cracked slightly ajar.

542
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I make an investigation check.

543
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Nine.

544
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
So it's just a dusty library.

545
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
It appears, yeah.

546
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
We move ahead cautiously and motion toward the door because I feel like

547
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
we shouldn't be talking in the library.

548
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
From my days as a scribe.

549
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
That's a good call.

550
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
You step in through the door,

551
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,000
disturbing the dust and cobwebs as you walk through.

552
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
And you feel a chill come over you when all of a sudden you see

553
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
materialized directly in front of you,

554
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000
the gnarled angry face of a female ghost rushing towards you,

555
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
ranting and yelling saying, what are you doing here?

556
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Come to steal my master scrolls. Have you?

557
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
You won't get far with them.

558
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,000
I drop my head and hold my arms up like I'm holding a lantern.

559
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
What are you doing?

560
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000
I'm not that smart because the first thing I did was.

561
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Did you roll for initiative?

562
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I got scared.

563
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
I pulled out my sword as you pull out flame tongue.

564
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
She disappears and reappears behind you saying, who are you?

565
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
And why are you here?

566
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
We're looking for a door.

567
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Come to rob us. Have you?

568
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Nope.

569
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Thea stands up because she feels stupid.

570
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Stupid being down there.

571
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
No, Russ was just taking a sip of beer.

572
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
He's got more old lady ghost voice in him.

573
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:09,000
I stand up because obviously what Lynch and I are doing is not working.

574
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
And I say, we are here to find Varan the White.

575
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
I don't know Varan the White.

576
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
You have come to steal my master scrolls and his books.

577
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000
How could we get back here if we were having any ill?

578
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Also, what scrolls and books?

579
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
There's no scrolls and books.

580
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
That's true. This place is empty.

581
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Somebody already stole them.

582
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Dude, you did a bad job.

583
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
She disappears.

584
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
You're fired.

585
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
You have done terrible.

586
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Go shade.

587
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,000
She disappears and reappears in front of each of the shelves one at a time.

588
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:54,000
And then on the final shelf, you see her slump to the floor and she begins to sob.

589
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
You broke her Carla.

590
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000
And she breaks down in a fit of misery and says, you're right.

591
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
I did not do good.

592
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
I did not keep track of his things.

593
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Oh, my God.

594
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
It's Moaning Myrtle.

595
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Totally.

596
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Harry Potter episode.

597
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Very excited.

598
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Why did you come here just to make fun of me?

599
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Oh, no.

600
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
We have the worst motivation.

601
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
I know.

602
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
What scrolls were you protecting?

603
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:32,000
My master scrolls, Diderius, his passion for powerful divination magic.

604
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000
He knew how to work the world and how to see things.

605
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
And everything was in his books.

606
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
But I was banished.

607
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:51,000
And then after he died, I came back to try and keep things around.

608
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
But I passed as well.

609
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
And people came and stole things.

610
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
I just don't know what I'm doing anymore.

611
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Oh, my heart is breaking for this.

612
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
For this poor ghost.

613
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Oh, they're there.

614
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Classic.

615
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:22,000
I'm sure you were a loyal subject and worked very hard to protect your master's books and scrolls.

616
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
She disappears and reappears screaming in your face.

617
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
I did.

618
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I did do that.

619
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
But then shrinks back and says, but I failed.

620
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
What if we could get some back for you?

621
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
You could.

622
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
You've been making promises weird.

623
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I said, what if?

624
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Do you want to make a religion check there, Flint?

625
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Sure.

626
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Fifteen.

627
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:56,000
You get the sense that if you were to bring something back to this room, that her sojourn here may be ended.

628
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
And she may be able to leave this area.

629
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:07,000
She says, you, if you could, you would bring some books back, something back?

630
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
If we can find the books, we'll gladly bring them back for you.

631
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Oh, that would be, that would be, oh, that would be so, so nice.

632
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
I wouldn't, wouldn't be such a failure, as you pointed out.

633
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:25,000
But what, what, what are you, what are you doing here?

634
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Is there, how can I help you?

635
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Oh, it's a tit for tat situation.

636
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I like this.

637
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Have you seen a dwarf come by in purple robes?

638
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Maybe how long ago was it?

639
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Two, three days?

640
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Are we, we're just a couple of days behind him, right?

641
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,000
We're four weeks behind him.

642
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Oh, yeah, a couple of weeks.

643
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Four, four weeks ago about?

644
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Dwarf, no dwarf except the one right here.

645
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Is he who you're looking for?

646
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000
No.

647
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Definitely not.

648
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Thought this was an easy one.

649
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:05,000
No, it's, no dwarfs, just, just the serpents, the serpents live, live here too.

650
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000
They, they are not nice.

651
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's, what's serpents?

652
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Oh, you haven't, you haven't seen any serpents?

653
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Well, that's probably good.

654
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:19,000
But they're, they're not in, in, they moved in throughout the years.

655
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:27,220
They dwell in the innermost parts of Diderius' compLex, and they live here.

656
00:32:27,220 --> 00:32:29,700
But I have not seen any dwarves.

657
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:31,740
How big are these serpents?

658
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:33,059
They're your size.

659
00:32:33,059 --> 00:32:36,099
Some are bigger, some are smaller.

660
00:32:36,099 --> 00:32:39,220
When you say serpent, do you mean that literally?

661
00:32:39,220 --> 00:32:44,759
I think they call them the Yon-T. You know who the Yon-T are.

662
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:58,119
The Yon-T are a race of serpent beings who long ago in the history of the world were

663
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:03,579
very high up humanoids who had a lot of money and a lot of things, and they invested that

664
00:33:03,579 --> 00:33:08,299
money in trying to better themselves, better their bodies, better their minds, better

665
00:33:08,299 --> 00:33:09,940
their souls.

666
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:16,880
They found dark magic that, going through a process of transformation, transformed them

667
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:24,220
into more snake-like beings known as the Yon-T. So they're very magical, very powerful

668
00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:25,559
beings.

669
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:30,600
In order to grow their masses, they capture people and they capture humanoids and they

670
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,720
transform them into more Yon-T.

671
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,259
But they live here.

672
00:33:36,259 --> 00:33:40,980
Is there a shrine to Mistral or anything in this area?

673
00:33:40,980 --> 00:33:41,980
Mistral.

674
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:44,539
Oh, you got through the door over there.

675
00:33:44,539 --> 00:33:49,019
Did you do the thing with the hands and the head down?

676
00:33:49,019 --> 00:33:51,700
Yeah, that's what I was doing when you showed up.

677
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:52,700
Did you recognize it?

678
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:53,700
Yeah, I did.

679
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:55,420
I saw that and I was like, why are you doing that in here?

680
00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:56,420
That's the other room.

681
00:33:56,420 --> 00:34:01,200
Yeah, if you didn't do that in the other room, I mean, you would have got attacked

682
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,200
real bad.

683
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,200
Oh.

684
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,480
Oh, so see, we weren't just being dumb-dumbs.

685
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,500
We did a good thing back there, guys, and I go for a high five.

686
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:09,500
Yeah, they would.

687
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:10,500
Can I accept that high five?

688
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,340
Yeah, those mummies would have torn you apart.

689
00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:14,940
It wouldn't have been very good for you.

690
00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:17,000
Hey, what's your name?

691
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,780
Nobody's asked me my name in a long time.

692
00:34:20,780 --> 00:34:22,539
My name is Ilda.

693
00:34:22,539 --> 00:34:23,539
Nice to meet you, Ilda.

694
00:34:23,539 --> 00:34:25,820
We're going to try and find some books for you.

695
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:26,820
Thank you.

696
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:29,380
I'm feeling very guilty.

697
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:30,380
You made her cry.

698
00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:33,179
I did make her cry a lot and it made me very uncomfortable.

699
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:35,839
Human emotion does that to you, doesn't it?

700
00:34:35,839 --> 00:34:36,839
Yeah, it does.

701
00:34:36,839 --> 00:34:39,359
You live alone in the woods for the most part.

702
00:34:39,359 --> 00:34:40,359
It's hard.

703
00:34:40,359 --> 00:34:41,359
Where?

704
00:34:41,359 --> 00:34:43,319
So you guys have just been here.

705
00:34:43,319 --> 00:34:45,119
Have you seen the pool yet?

706
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:46,119
The divination pool?

707
00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:47,119
No.

708
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:48,119
You haven't been there before.

709
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:50,119
Does that have anything to do with the well?

710
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,359
Well, I mean, it's what the yonti have been using.

711
00:34:52,359 --> 00:34:58,159
Diderius used it to see revelations into the future.

712
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:01,559
The well, yeah, well, kinda, kinda, yeah.

713
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:07,219
The well, you have to fill up the bucket and pour it into the trough, if I remember

714
00:35:07,219 --> 00:35:11,340
correctly, and then pull the lever and then it goes into another room that fills up the

715
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:12,980
divination pool.

716
00:35:12,980 --> 00:35:16,139
Now would only a few buckets do this or are we talking like we need to have like

717
00:35:16,139 --> 00:35:17,139
a lot more buckets?

718
00:35:17,139 --> 00:35:18,980
Oh, a couple of buckets.

719
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:20,980
You'd probably be fine.

720
00:35:20,980 --> 00:35:21,980
Ooh.

721
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:22,980
Where's that pool?

722
00:35:22,980 --> 00:35:25,019
Well, it's in one of the rooms.

723
00:35:25,019 --> 00:35:27,059
It's like right next door.

724
00:35:27,059 --> 00:35:28,900
Like you come out into the...

725
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,440
There was a collapsed hallway that we couldn't get through.

726
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,200
Oh, that'd probably be where it is.

727
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,200
I mean, there is another way.

728
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,760
You gotta go deeper into the tunnels to get there, but I mean, you could get there

729
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,760
and see.

730
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:47,400
But so I just warn you that the pool, if you're not careful, it can drive you

731
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,400
insane.

732
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,400
Oh, good warning.

733
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:58,119
It gives you, if you don't ask it a specific question, it deals with like the physical

734
00:35:58,139 --> 00:35:59,779
and metaphysical concerns.

735
00:35:59,779 --> 00:36:05,500
And it's originally, let me tell you this, Dideria set it up so that, you know, you

736
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:10,859
only had to do like a small sacrifice, something of like, of like your own...

737
00:36:10,859 --> 00:36:11,859
Like a finger.

738
00:36:11,859 --> 00:36:12,859
Yeah.

739
00:36:12,859 --> 00:36:13,859
Well, not even quite that bad.

740
00:36:13,859 --> 00:36:15,500
You just had to offer something.

741
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:19,579
But since those YonT have been around, I would figure they're kind of gross in

742
00:36:19,579 --> 00:36:21,900
what they do with sacrifices and stuff.

743
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:26,619
So yeah, if you look in there, I mean, you could probably figure out anything you

744
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:29,480
want to know, but you got to, you got to really want it.

745
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:37,279
You got to just have more heart than the other team.

746
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:38,279
That's all.

747
00:36:38,279 --> 00:36:39,279
Yeah.

748
00:36:39,279 --> 00:36:40,279
You got to give 110 percent.

749
00:36:40,279 --> 00:36:41,279
Yeah.

750
00:36:41,279 --> 00:36:44,799
It's going to be, it's going to be a dark room if you go in there, but you

751
00:36:44,799 --> 00:36:46,359
know, it might help you.

752
00:36:46,359 --> 00:36:47,359
Who knows?

753
00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:48,359
All right.

754
00:36:48,359 --> 00:36:49,359
Go find a book.

755
00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:50,359
Thank you.

756
00:36:50,359 --> 00:36:51,359
Run along now, children.

757
00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:52,359
Thank you, Ilda.

758
00:36:52,359 --> 00:36:53,359
Thank you.

759
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:54,359
Well, Ilda has been very helpful.

760
00:36:54,980 --> 00:37:02,019
Only because she pointed out we didn't die somewhere we probably almost did.

761
00:37:02,019 --> 00:37:03,500
So that's always good to know.

762
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:05,860
I like knowing when we nearly escaped death.

763
00:37:05,860 --> 00:37:07,460
Yeah, me too.

764
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:10,620
Do we want to go through this door in this room or?

765
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:15,900
Well, we have to go deeper in to find the pool.

766
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,620
So yes.

767
00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:18,620
I'm cool with it.

768
00:37:18,620 --> 00:37:19,620
So sorry.

769
00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:20,620
You're going into the door in this room?

770
00:37:20,620 --> 00:37:21,620
Yeah.

771
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:22,620
Yeah.

772
00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:23,620
You said there was a door in there?

773
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,400
You pass through and you say your goodbyes to Ilda and say you'll be back soon.

774
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,359
She seems very excited about that.

775
00:37:30,359 --> 00:37:35,159
And you go to the door that is cracked slightly ajar and it opens into a dusty

776
00:37:35,159 --> 00:37:41,119
cobweb 10-foot hallway that leads back into the room with the tapestries and the

777
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:42,119
double doors.

778
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:43,119
Oh.

779
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:44,119
Huh.

780
00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:48,039
So back to the throne room probably, like unless we want to go back in that tapestry

781
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:49,039
room.

782
00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:50,759
But there was another door in that throne room, right?

783
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:57,780
You guys enter back into the throne room and the humanoid male turns to look at you,

784
00:37:57,780 --> 00:38:02,540
but then recognizes you and looks back at the wall there.

785
00:38:02,540 --> 00:38:12,500
You enter to your left the smaller single door and you go down a set of stairs.

786
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:13,820
What order are we going in here?

787
00:38:13,820 --> 00:38:14,820
I'm last.

788
00:38:14,820 --> 00:38:17,940
It didn't work out well for you last time.

789
00:38:17,940 --> 00:38:18,940
It didn't.

790
00:38:18,940 --> 00:38:19,940
But that's because I roll shitty.

791
00:38:20,619 --> 00:38:21,619
I'm pretty hurt.

792
00:38:21,619 --> 00:38:24,659
So if you don't mind going first, that'd be great.

793
00:38:24,659 --> 00:38:33,539
You, Flint, go down these stairs and you step into a room and immediately you see five

794
00:38:33,539 --> 00:38:39,200
bearded devils seated at a long marble table.

795
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:45,179
They're muscular and dressed in gray and brown loincloths and armor on their shins

796
00:38:45,179 --> 00:38:51,699
and forearms bearing insignias of the Cult of the Dragon, which is, of course you remember,

797
00:38:51,699 --> 00:38:54,739
a flame with eyes burning above a dragon's claw.

798
00:38:54,739 --> 00:38:56,299
Y'all remember that?

799
00:38:56,299 --> 00:38:57,579
I totally remember that.

800
00:38:57,579 --> 00:38:58,579
Oh yeah.

801
00:38:58,579 --> 00:39:01,139
This is not the first time I've heard about that.

802
00:39:01,139 --> 00:39:04,779
You step onto one of the lower stairs and they turn to acknowledge your entrance but

803
00:39:04,779 --> 00:39:12,779
seem nonplussed and turn back towards another door on the south wall with a backwards

804
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:19,580
question mark and the word danger following it written in chalk on the door that has been

805
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:21,300
spiked shut.

806
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:22,300
Danger?

807
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:23,300
What you do.

808
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:25,460
So they don't care that we're there?

809
00:39:25,460 --> 00:39:30,220
They look towards you but they don't make any movement towards you and they look back

810
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:32,380
towards the door with danger written on it.

811
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:37,580
Part of me wants to murder them anyway because they are dressed and they have the insignia

812
00:39:37,580 --> 00:39:39,220
of the Cult of the Dragon.

813
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:41,380
Also I'll give you the rest of the room here.

814
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:48,900
You see two long tables of plain stone that are standing at the south end of this what

815
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:54,619
you might think of as a dining hall while the long marble table stands to the north.

816
00:39:54,619 --> 00:40:00,740
There are three doors, one to the north, the east, and south.

817
00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:04,140
The east is where you came from.

818
00:40:04,140 --> 00:40:08,940
Remember that last time when we saw the door that had writing above it that said

819
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:09,940
safe?

820
00:40:09,940 --> 00:40:12,220
The same kind of writing.

821
00:40:12,220 --> 00:40:13,539
Can anyone jog my memory?

822
00:40:13,539 --> 00:40:14,539
Was it safe?

823
00:40:14,539 --> 00:40:19,139
Yes, that was the room with the well and the pump in it.

824
00:40:19,139 --> 00:40:22,179
I'm inclined to believe that this is a dangerous door.

825
00:40:22,179 --> 00:40:27,099
Also it seems like if they're actively watching the danger door it's like they're

826
00:40:27,099 --> 00:40:31,740
waiting for something dangerous to come out of it so maybe not a great door for us

827
00:40:31,740 --> 00:40:32,820
to go into.

828
00:40:32,820 --> 00:40:37,059
And they don't care about us which seems like a bad sign.

829
00:40:37,059 --> 00:40:38,519
Also what's a bearded devil?

830
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,719
Is that like a giant lizard man?

831
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:47,159
Bearded devils are kind of a purple, no not that, don't worry about that.

832
00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:48,400
Oh my god that's terrifying.

833
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:54,420
Bearded devils have purple skin, they're very muscular, they have long claws that

834
00:40:54,420 --> 00:40:57,039
come out of their hands and toes.

835
00:40:57,039 --> 00:41:05,039
They have what appears to be kind of serpent-like barbs that come out of their

836
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:07,559
face.

837
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:13,519
And yeah they're wearing only brown and tan loincloths and armor on their forearms

838
00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:15,000
and legs.

839
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:21,239
And each of them is carrying a glaive.

840
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:27,880
So bearded devils not handsome devils is what you're saying.

841
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,639
Okay are they intelligent creatures?

842
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:36,920
Yeah most devils are.

843
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,159
Yeah Amy.

844
00:41:40,159 --> 00:41:50,880
Guys I'm so fucking stupid.

845
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,599
Because we all knew devils are smart right?

846
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:57,159
I don't know how I get through my day without someone telling me.

847
00:41:57,159 --> 00:42:00,880
You know that there are different levels of devils.

848
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,740
Some are higher.

849
00:42:02,740 --> 00:42:03,840
Different devil levels?

850
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,440
Different devil levels.

851
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,920
Some are higher intelligence and they kind of rule the hellscapes.

852
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,840
So they're just like people, they're smart people, they're dumb people.

853
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,840
They take direction real well.

854
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,840
Okay.

855
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,079
They take direction real well?

856
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:23,880
Oh so they're sitting and watching because they were told to.

857
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,360
Alright RP time go.

858
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Oh unless you have an actual question that's fine.

859
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:38,880
I was going to say that we, because we're basically just in the doorway of this room

860
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:39,880
right?

861
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,920
Yeah you're kind of all like stacked on top of each other at the stairs like flint

862
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,679
Nulara thea.

863
00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:47,679
Right.

864
00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:51,320
Is there a door or is it just like a doorway at the bottom of the stairs?

865
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,559
Just an open, yeah an open doorway.

866
00:42:53,559 --> 00:42:54,559
There's no door.

867
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:58,639
Okay well I'm going to like go part way back up the stairs and like gesture

868
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:02,359
my friends to follow me because I know those people don't care about us but it still seems

869
00:43:02,359 --> 00:43:04,679
weird to be like hey should we kill them?

870
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:06,719
So we're part way up the stairs.

871
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:07,719
Guys what do we do here?

872
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,239
I mean whatever is in that door is definitely bad right?

873
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Yeah it doesn't seem like it would be good.

874
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,759
But those are called to the dragon.

875
00:43:17,759 --> 00:43:21,019
Guys should we kill them?

876
00:43:21,019 --> 00:43:24,679
Should we try to talk to them and find out what up?

877
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:26,099
Like what should we do?

878
00:43:26,099 --> 00:43:31,019
I feel like this is the first time that we've been on the right track since we've gotten

879
00:43:31,019 --> 00:43:32,019
here.

880
00:43:32,019 --> 00:43:37,699
Like I feel like these are the only yeah they're the only thing that has actually been connected

881
00:43:37,699 --> 00:43:42,219
to the cult of the dragon since we got into this place.

882
00:43:42,219 --> 00:43:47,460
I think maybe at the very least we talked to them at the very funnest we killed them.

883
00:43:47,460 --> 00:43:49,079
I mean yeah.

884
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:53,019
We can try our favorite trick where we say we're going to save one to question and

885
00:43:53,019 --> 00:43:54,019
then kill him.

886
00:43:54,019 --> 00:43:55,059
I do like that.

887
00:43:55,059 --> 00:43:59,340
It doesn't seem like they're moving so maybe we can try to talk to them first and then

888
00:43:59,340 --> 00:44:02,139
if they pull a you know pull a move on us.

889
00:44:02,139 --> 00:44:04,820
No wait they're not handsome devils.

890
00:44:04,820 --> 00:44:08,099
So not sexy moves.

891
00:44:08,099 --> 00:44:11,139
This sounds like it's going to plan as we're going to come up with.

892
00:44:11,139 --> 00:44:12,139
Sure.

893
00:44:12,139 --> 00:44:13,139
Okay let's do this.

894
00:44:13,139 --> 00:44:14,139
Flint you go first.

895
00:44:14,139 --> 00:44:15,940
Yeah all right.

896
00:44:15,940 --> 00:44:20,779
I guess we just kind of you know we don't like run up to them or anything.

897
00:44:20,779 --> 00:44:22,719
We don't show any sort of real aggression.

898
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:29,320
We just walk in and maybe just like say like what are you looking at guys?

899
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:35,720
They turn to look at you and one of them speaks up and says danger danger.

900
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:39,240
We we're watching danger.

901
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:40,240
What's dangerous?

902
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:44,320
And what are you expecting to see with danger?

903
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:50,840
Well we were you know told to sit here and wait by our master and if anything

904
00:44:51,059 --> 00:44:54,360
comes through that door we kill it.

905
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,360
And who's your master?

906
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,360
Oh yeah.

907
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,360
For him.

908
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,640
Well I believe we're unfamiliar with him.

909
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,519
Is he is he a cool master?

910
00:45:03,519 --> 00:45:08,400
Well I mean he's been gone for a little while while we wait here looking at danger.

911
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,880
But yeah I mean he's good.

912
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,039
How long have you been looking at danger?

913
00:45:14,039 --> 00:45:17,100
It seems like forever.

914
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:18,180
And then another one speaks up.

915
00:45:18,180 --> 00:45:20,000
At least we're not back at home down in hell.

916
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:24,760
He's like yeah yeah we could be worse.

917
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:31,860
Yeah but yeah we're just stay here and you know there's he told us that we should stay

918
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:38,500
here because there's danger over there and there's great treasure over there too.

919
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:43,039
But we have to stop the things that might come out of it if they come out.

920
00:45:43,039 --> 00:45:44,480
Did he tell you what might come out?

921
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,760
No I can't tell you that.

922
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:46,760
I can't tell you that.

923
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,760
Why not?

924
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:48,760
Because I don't know.

925
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,760
Oh okay.

926
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,920
Did Vram go through that door?

927
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,800
I can't tell you that.

928
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,800
Because you don't know?

929
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,600
No I know where Vram went.

930
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,600
I can't tell you if he went through that door or that door or that door and he's

931
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,200
pointing around the room to each of the doors.

932
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,760
Did he emphasize one of the doors differently when he pointed to it?

933
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:08,760
Make a perception check.

934
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:09,760
That door?

935
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,760
Well hey guys I rolled in the double digits.

936
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:14,760
Whoa!

937
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,760
Yeah it was only a 10 so it was like barely double digits but damn it.

938
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,760
Plus your bonus.

939
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,760
It's my perception bonus.

940
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:22,760
Oh plus 8.

941
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:23,760
That's a fucking 18.

942
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,760
Yeah I had 24.

943
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,760
Perceiving the hell out of these musically half naked men.

944
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,760
You watch as he's saying that door and that door and that door and he points at

945
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,760
them equal amount of time.

946
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,760
There is no lingering on any one door or any inflection change in his voice.

947
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,760
I look at them.

948
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,760
I'm going to attempt to persuade them.

949
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,760
I don't have advantage of that or anything.

950
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,760
You can still make a check.

951
00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:00,760
Yeah and I say to them, well I guess I'll roll first.

952
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,760
Oh that was a 19.

953
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:04,760
21.

954
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:10,760
I say wow you guys have been sitting here for a really long time.

955
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,760
Has it you know if you've been like lonely or hungry it seems like a really

956
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:15,760
tough job.

957
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,760
No we're good.

958
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,760
What do you do to pass the time?

959
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,760
We stare at danger.

960
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,760
And you don't eat?

961
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:23,760
No.

962
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:24,760
Hmm.

963
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,760
Are you being like handsomely rewarded for your good work here?

964
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,760
Yeah yeah we're good.

965
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:31,760
Don't worry about us.

966
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,760
I mean if yeah we're good.

967
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:35,760
Oh.

968
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,760
I pull out my bag of like jewels and gold.

969
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:45,760
I set them out on the table and I say we really would love to know where your master went.

970
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:52,760
And you see him kind of look at that and look to his buddies as well and they kind

971
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,760
of mumble under their breath to each other and they say and he turns back he says

972
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,760
how much in the sack?

973
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,760
Now what kind of offer was this?

974
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:06,760
Golden jewels.

975
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:12,760
I take out a hundred silver pieces and I put them in a stack in front of me and I say

976
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,760
your master's been gone a long time.

977
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,760
He looks at it and he's like yeah silver you gotta you gotta up your price there.

978
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,760
How about I up it for each bit of information you give me?

979
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,760
I can get more than that in a day.

980
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,760
Not if you don't leave.

981
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,760
Oh we'll leave.

982
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,760
After danger.

983
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,760
You know I heard something I heard there wasn't even any danger back there.

984
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,760
Okay what else you got?

985
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:48,760
I put five precious really sparkly stones next to the silver pieces.

986
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,760
Says okay what do you want to know?

987
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:56,760
And he scoops up all your money and precious stones and passes them down to his buddy.

988
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,760
Where was Faram going?

989
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,760
Oh he's going down somewhere else don't worry about it he'll be back.

990
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,760
Don't worry about it.

991
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,760
I want to punch this guy in the fucking face.

992
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:14,760
I literally we might kill these guys just so that Thea can get her shit back.

993
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,760
I'm getting really irritated with them I kind of want to kill them.

994
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,760
I look at them and I say where over there?

995
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,760
Okay okay look you've got a lot of questions lady.

996
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,760
Look we've been here we fought you know like crazy undead things.

997
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,760
We fought them we killed them we're good.

998
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,760
Beyond that door some of our buddies died.

999
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,760
We stay here we watch danger.

1000
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,760
Boss goes the other way.

1001
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,760
Which other way?

1002
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,760
Says the other door.

1003
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,760
Which one?

1004
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,760
He points to the north door.

1005
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,760
Okay you guys got that the north door?

1006
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:49,760
Okay.

1007
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,760
South door has danger scrolled on it so he's pointing behind himself.

1008
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,760
Okay I don't know it's like vague pointing.

1009
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,760
Apparently there are many doors in this room.

1010
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,760
Well there's the one you came down door with danger and the door he just pointed to.

1011
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,760
Once Varam went through that door where did he go?

1012
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,760
Beyond the door.

1013
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:10,760
To where?

1014
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,760
What's on the other side of the door?

1015
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,760
Oh no.

1016
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:25,760
I turn towards Nularaaa and Flint and I say I don't think these guys are high up enough in the ranks for Varam to trust them with the information of the plan.

1017
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,760
Nope nope we're not.

1018
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,760
I'm trying really hard.

1019
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,760
We are working for the cult.

1020
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:44,760
We have orders from our boss, bigger boss than Varam, Lord Zariel, Archduchess of Avernus, who wants Tiamat out of the Nine Hells.

1021
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,760
We were told to come here and do as Varam says.

1022
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,760
Varam told us to sit and watch danger.

1023
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,760
Varam goes that way.

1024
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,760
Talk about your exposition dumps.

1025
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,760
And all the other guys go yeah yeah yeah what he said.

1026
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,760
You guys I don't think we have to kill them.

1027
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,760
You going through danger door or you going through Varam door?

1028
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:06,760
Where you go?

1029
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,760
You go through danger door that's danger.

1030
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,760
We will be going through Varam door.

1031
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,760
Thank you very much.

1032
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,760

He's a decorative Gord.

1051
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,760
They go back to watching danger door.

1052
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,760
So you guys want to kill these dudes?

1053
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,760
I whisper very quietly and they don't hear.

1054
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,760
Say hey we're still here.

1055
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:57,760
I whisper.

1056
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:58,760
Yeah I know.

1057
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,760
I don't think we need to.

1058
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:01,760
Fine.

1059
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:09,760
This is some interesting information my friends that this Duchess wants Tiamat out of the nine hells.

1060
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,760
That's how bad of a dragon he is.

1061
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,760
She is.

1062
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,760
They don't want him in hell anymore.

1063
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:14,760
She's queen of the dragons.

1064
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:15,760
Right.

1065
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,760
Right.

1066
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:17,760
Are we going through that door?

1067
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,760
Are we going to just hang out here and have a long rest with these hombres?

1068
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,760
Can we have a short rest with these hombres?

1069
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,760
They don't appear to be making any move towards you so you can do whatever you please in this room.

1070
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,760
I see it pulls out some snacks.

1071
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,760
Hey hey it's me your Dungeon Master Russ More.

1072
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:37,760
Not whispering today.

1073
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,760

1099
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,760
As if things weren't scary enough, right?

1100
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,760
And then we're going to be back into Diderius' tomb regularly scheduled November 8th.

1101
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,760
We really can't wait for you to hear everything that's coming up.

1102
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,760
It's going to be a ton of spooky fun.

1103
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:26,760
Let's get back in there though.

1104
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,760
See what Flint, Thea and Eulara are up to next.

1105
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:30,760
Bye.

1106
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:42,760
You guys set up shop at a table in there and, you know, make small talk with the devils if you want to.

1107
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,760
I pull out some snacks, you know, we make a thing of it.

1108
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,760
Yeah, sure.

1109
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,760
You don't get any extra information out of them based on that.

1110
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,760
But you get all your hit points and all your spell slots and all your hit dice back.

1111
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,760
And then what are you going to do?

1112
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,760
Are you going to head through that door?

1113
00:54:58,760 --> 00:54:59,760
Let's head through that motherfucking door.

1114
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,760
The danger door, right?

1115
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:01,760
Nope.

1116
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,760
Just kidding.

1117
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:05,760
Thought I could catch you.

1118
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:11,760
You guys pack up your stuff and you head through the door, which the devils told you for Ram left through.

1119
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,760
You open into a hallway that takes a sharp left.

1120
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:21,760
You follow the hallway and it ends at another door about 30 feet down.

1121
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,760
Flint, would you mind getting the door, buddy?

1122
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,760
Oh, sure. Yeah, no problem.

1123
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,760
You're so big and strong. I wish you were my guy.

1124
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,760
That starts a budding relationship between Thea and Flint.

1125
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,760
I feel real full of myself as I open up this door.

1126
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:52,760
You open the door and it enters into a long gallery that holds a pool, a dry pool.

1127
00:55:52,760 --> 00:56:02,760
That, based on the descriptions you got from Ilda, could be assumed is the source of Diderius's power.

1128
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:12,760
Around the room, you see broken arrows, blood stains, and a dead cultist strewn across the floor of the chamber.

1129
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,760
I'm sorry, he is strewn? Like parts of him?

1130
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,760
All of these things are strewn across.

1131
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,760
There is a dead cultist and everything else is strewn.

1132
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:25,760
And was it like broken arrows or DVD copies of the movie Broken Arrow?

1133
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,760
Both would be pretty awesome, but it is broken arrows as shot.

1134
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:31,760
Okay.

1135
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:37,760
Do they look to be fairly uniform like they were potentially shot out from a wall?

1136
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:38,760
Good question.

1137
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,760
Investigation check. Seven, eight, nine. That's only a nine.

1138
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,760
They don't appear to be shot from a wall.

1139
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:47,760
Okay.

1140
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,760
Is this just a generic cultist?

1141
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,760
Yeah, he looks like you're...

1142
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:52,760
We didn't just walk in, it's Varam.

1143
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,760
God damn it.

1144
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,760
I mean, mission accomplished, I guess, but...

1145
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:07,760
It appears to be your run-of-the-mill regular cultist in just kind of the lower level cultist robes that you have seen in your dealings with them previously.

1146
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,760
Now, remember Ilda said something about sacrifices?

1147
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,760
Oh, yes. Very smart. Very smart. Could be that.

1148
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,760
Here's the thing about the divination pool, my friends.

1149
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:24,760
We're terrible at asking important questions, so even if this was full, what would we possibly ask it?

1150
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,760
Just putting that out there.

1151
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:32,760
How do we destroy the cult of the dragon?

1152
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,760
Anyway, it's all...

1153
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:35,760
I mean, that's a good question.

1154
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,760
It is a good question.

1155
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,760
But it's all, it just doesn't matter, right?

1156
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,760
Yeah, it's a move point.

1157
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:48,760
But we could have someone hustle back to the water room and fill that bad boy up.

1158
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:49,760
We could.

1159
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:54,760
Are we willing to make the sacrifice that it's going to need in order to actually make it work?

1160
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,760
You mean as in splitting the party or an actual sacrifice?

1161
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,760
Oh no, like an actual sacrifice.

1162
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,760
Because we've been very reticent to do the other.

1163
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:05,760
It's true.

1164
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:06,760
Indeed.

1165
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,760
I think it might be important for us to branch off and do things.

1166
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:14,760
But if once we get this pool filled up, I mean, this guy looks like he lost his life.

1167
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,760
What are we going to sacrifice?

1168
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:22,760
Maybe we could convince one of the devils to come in the room with us?

1169
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,760
Yes, help, help. We found Varam.

1170
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,760
You're so big and strong, you can help us carry him.

1171
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,760
And then just murder him, throw him in the pool.

1172
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,760
Just as close to a river as we can get right now.

1173
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,760
As close to a river as possible.

1174
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,760
Is there any other doors or anything in this room?

1175
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,760
Well, probably.

1176
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,760
Russ has zoned out completely. He's like reading a novel.

1177
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,760
I'm just letting you guys chat. It's good.

1178
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,760
Doors in the room? Yes.

1179
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,760
As you enter the room to your left, which is the south,

1180
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:04,760
you see a large set of double doors that has been broken in by rubble.

1181
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,760
Is that familiar to anyone?

1182
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:12,760
To your right, which is the north, you see another large set of closed double doors.

1183
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,760
No rubble.

1184
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:15,760
Visible.

1185
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,760
Who would like to go fill up the pool?

1186
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,760
I mean, I'll go do it.

1187
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,760
That's fine with me.

1188
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,760
Can we just go peek down this other door before we?

1189
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,760
That might be a good idea.

1190
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:31,760
Just in case there's like undead things waiting and then as soon as Flynn leaves.

1191
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,760
It might help us with our mental map of the area.

1192
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,760
But yeah, I wouldn't mind.

1193
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,760
Let's take a look.

1194
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,760
Sorry if it gets us killed.

1195
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,760
So sorry, you're investigating things in this room or you're going through the other doors?

1196
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,760
The other doors.

1197
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,760
We're going to take a look in a book, reading Rainbow.

1198
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:59,760
Okay, so you guys step over the the strewn about decaying matter, I guess could be best described.

1199
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:09,760
You step through these doors, slowly swinging open the double doors from the divination pool room.

1200
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:18,760
And you enter a 20 foot high chamber lit by braziers.

1201
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:26,760
A massive stone sarcophagus sits atop a stepped stone dais at the center.

1202
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:35,760
The walls are decorated with life-size frescoes showing the lost gods of Netharil and Anoria.

1203
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:43,760
You get the feeling as you enter this room that it would be disrespectful to disturb anything here.

1204
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:51,760
That just kind of washes over you and everything in this room should remain as it is.

1205
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,760
I think this is Daedarius' tomb.

1206
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:02,760
Is there, is this a dead end? Just chamber? Are there doors?

1207
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,760
You don't see any other doors in this room?

1208
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,760
I back out of the room, respectfully.

1209
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,760
Yes, yes, agreed.

1210
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,760
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

1211
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,760
I got my hit points back. I don't want to fight a god just because I got my hit points back.

1212
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,760
It's not what hit points are about.

1213
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,760
Okay, I'm just trying to think, like, where do we go from here?

1214
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,760
Yeah, I mean, we could go fill up the water.

1215
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:28,760
Kill a devil?

1216
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:29,760
Kill a devil.

1217
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,760
Go back out?

1218
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,760
And then ask a question?

1219
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:34,760
Yeah.

1220
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,760
Get an answer, go mad, get eaten by a snake man.

1221
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,760
Right, there's still snake men around.

1222
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,760
I'm not seeing good choices.

1223
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,760
I don't, yeah, none of these sound great.

1224
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,760
Let's fill up the pool. Let's, like, let's choose a path.

1225
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:57,760
Agreed. Like, I don't care so much about the Divination Pool, but Thea, that seems like something you would like to do.

1226
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,760
Do you want us to do that?

1227
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:08,760
Well, it is kind of on my bucket list. I mean, Divination is a really, it's kind of, it's a mystically uncharted type of territory.

1228
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:13,760
Not everyone can do it. It's not part of the magic that most people have.

1229
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:19,760
So, you know, yes, I'm curious. Will it get us killed? Maybe.

1230
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,760
But it might be our best way of finding Varam.

1231
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:25,760
Let's do it then.

1232
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:26,760
Okay.

1233
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:32,760
Okay, yeah, I'm going to make my way back to the well room there, Russ.

1234
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:40,760
Okay. You head back through the path that you took to get here.

1235
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:48,760
You pass through the dining hall and the Bearded Devils look kind of anxiously towards you, but then look back towards the danger as they see it's just you.

1236
01:02:48,760 --> 01:03:01,760
Back through the throne room and the stone golem looks to you and looks back, back up through the hallway where the, carefully watching the trap plate.

1237
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:02,760
I'll give you that.

1238
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,760
Yeah. And I do my little lantern pose as I get through that other room.

1239
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:15,760
Sure, yeah. Back up the hallway and through the room where you fought the Tiled Chimera, where the tiles still lay broken on the floor.

1240
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:32,760
You enter into the well chamber and there are three trolls standing, eating what looks to be a large, hooved creature in the well room.

1241
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:42,760
Back in the divination pool, Thea and Nularaaaa are waiting to see if the water comes through anywhere into the pool.

1242
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:48,760
You hear the sound of grinding stone and footsteps enter the tomb chamber.

1243
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:59,760
As you look to the open door, you see three serpent creatures standing staring at you as they enter the divination pool.

1244
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:20,760
Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

1245
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:32,760
And I quote, but I promise to stop being pointedly tricksy if you guys stop metagaming the fact that Russ is going to make wherever we go the trap end quote.

1246
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:41,760
I'm not being pointedly tricksy. This is I will take a picture of what happened, what you have to do in order to find all this stuff.

1247
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,760
But not before you go through it. I didn't I didn't even make this part up.

1248
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,760
This is all given to me by those sweet guys at Wizards of the Coast.

1249
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,760
Oh, thanks, dude. Hashtag Watsy staff.

1250
01:04:54,760 --> 01:05:01,760
Humility proffered in the manner of mystical shelters.

1251
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:10,760
Come again. I will read the rest of the sentence because I stopped before.

1252
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:16,760
I don't get it. Rewind.

1253
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:21,760
From the top, Dumbgeons and Dragons is a dumb dragons production.
