514 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:47,799 It would be an interesting opportunity for you to rid yourselves of 515 00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:50,799 dragon kind in its entirety. 516 00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:53,799 I don't have a problem with dragons. 517 00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:54,799 I don't. 518 00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,799 Personally, I just feel like Tiamat is kind of a big deal here. 519 00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,799 And the rest of it just I would hope. 520 00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:02,799 God damn it. 521 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:10,799 Thaddeus speaks up after watching this train wreck. 522 00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:19,799 And he says, I have fought with many of the armies on all sides over the 523 00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:20,799 years. 524 00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:21,799 And you're right. 525 00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:30,799 We do have a tendency to look at our own interests and try and, you 526 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:34,799 know, just look what's best for us. 527 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:41,799 But I feel like in this moment, if there's something that we can do to 528 00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:48,799 bridge this gap and bring the metallic dragons together with the 529 00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:50,799 humanoids of Water Deer. 530 00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:54,799 I feel like the end of the world is not a time that any of these people 531 00:32:54,799 --> 00:33:00,799 would turn an eye or scoff at anything that you had to offer. 532 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:11,799 Even knowing your histories are jaded, not jaded, are soiled or tainted 533 00:33:11,799 --> 00:33:14,799 by the things that we have done in the past. 534 00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:19,799 We as a people, not as we as me, because I love dragons, all dragons. 535 00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:20,799 Good save. 536 00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:21,799 Good save, Thaddeus. 537 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:23,799 Thaddeus is a human, correct? 538 00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:24,799 You got it, yeah. 539 00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:30,799 When he speaks, when he finishes speaking, Otelio Karnos stirs. 540 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:34,799 The small one speaks correctly. 541 00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:36,799 We must strike. 542 00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:38,799 We must strike. 543 00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:47,799 And I have lived for a long time amongst the people. 544 00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:51,799 And at that point, her figure shifts. 545 00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:57,799 And in like a kind of a brilliance of a silver light, her image shifts 546 00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:03,799 and reduces to that of the form of Elia. 547 00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:08,800 And we're all like, what the? 548 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:15,800 I have spent many of my years with these people. 549 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,800 And they are not quite as good as us. 550 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:27,800 But it is our duty to show them the way of Bahamut. 551 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:34,800 And I think having them on our side would benefit everyone and reduce casualties. 552 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:42,800 Because at what loss would we take if we were to venture on this alone? 553 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,800 The longer we wait, the more prepared they are. 554 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:55,800 If we were to act quicker, without waiting for them to ready their forces. 555 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,800 A quick, decisive strike would be our best bet. 556 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:09,800 We have come across some information that maybe they're more ready than maybe you think they are. 557 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:17,800 We've heard that they have all of the dragon masks all in one place. 558 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:25,800 I know anything. When you got all your masks in one place, the party's about to happen. 559 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:31,800 Classic saying, when you've got all your masks in one place, the party's about to happen. 560 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,800 Knowing that they are perhaps more prepared than either of us think they are, 561 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,800 perhaps it would be better to unite as one and go in as a united front, 562 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:52,800 as opposed to each side going in separately and perhaps not being as successful unless we're together. 563 00:35:52,800 --> 00:36:01,800 But the enemy can't have all the masks yet, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. 564 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,800 It's just what a guy in a field told us right before he tried to kill some other rando who was on our... 565 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,800 A guy in a field. 566 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:16,800 Yeah. I mean, he was from the cult. Somebody else tag out? 567 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,800 Is this the valuable info you spoke so highly of? 568 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,800 I'm new. 569 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:31,800 You who are humans, I do not fault you. In your short years, you are able to wield much power. 570 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,800 You don't have the blessing of years to gain the wisdom to control it. 571 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:44,800 However, you elf, you have many years. 572 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:55,800 You have no excuse for not wielding such power with a tempered mind. 573 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:05,800 Well, in my very thin defense, I'm only 200. 574 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:14,800 And I went through this big rebellious phase with my parents. Technically... 575 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,800 As Tia is trying to justify her existence here. 576 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,800 Her teen rebellion? 577 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,800 Her teen rebellious years. 578 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,800 There was about to be a bit of backstory. 579 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,800 Was there going to be a goth phase? 580 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:34,800 A giant bronze dragon flies kind of helter skelter through the air and lands down in the middle of this meeting. 581 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,800 Jeremy, welcome. 582 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,800 Hi. 583 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:47,800 So we are amidst some very serious talks of where we're just slinging hot fire at each other here. 584 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800 But you've shown up late. 585 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,800 Am I hearing anything over this? Am I hearing anything as I'm walking in? 586 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,800 Are you walking in or are you just like... 587 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,800 Like a big chicken, kind of? 588 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,800 That's kind of what I imagined when I was picturing. 589 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,800 I thought maybe you flew down. 590 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:13,800 I fly down, but I will choose to turn into a human form. 591 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:20,800 And I start walking. I do start walking up to sort of this central council. 592 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,800 Are they all in dragon form as I'm walking into this? 593 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,800 Elia has turned into human and I don't believe you said you turned back. 594 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,800 So there's one dragon who is in human form. The other three are in dragon form. 595 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,800 So you're in the middle of... Sorry, I'll paint the picture for you. 596 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:42,800 You're in the middle of the basin of an extinct volcano and there's huge thrones carved out of the side walls. 597 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,800 Where the dragons are seated. 598 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,800 Elia is the silver dragon. She is in human form. 599 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:56,800 And then the adventurers are kind of central in between all of them at this point. 600 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:03,800 Okay. As I fly into right before the gap. 601 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:11,800 About 20 feet before the gap in the circle of this dragon council, as you will in the middle of this volcano. 602 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,800 And I transform into a human form with long salt and pepper hair. 603 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,800 With very sharp features in leather armor. 604 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,800 But it is bronze colored leather armor. 605 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:33,800 And I'm walking up to sort of the place equidistant in that opening of the circle. 606 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:40,800 And I announce to everyone, sorry, I was in another meeting. That was dragon on. 607 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,800 Oh, no. 608 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,800 Thea laughed. 609 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,800 Oh, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. 610 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,800 Oh, no. Oh, no. 611 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,800 Oh, I think Elevati was needed. 612 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,800 Yeah, Thea is so grateful she can stop confessing to... I don't know what she was going to confess to do. 613 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,800 I was going to get into teams with my parents. 614 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,800 It's going to be a whole Degrassi moment. 615 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,800 Oh, boy. 616 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,800 So I walk in with that little icebreaker. 617 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,800 And I look at everybody and go, what did I miss? 618 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,800 I am interested to hear more about the dragon masks. 619 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,800 So it sounds like you know where they are. 620 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:41,800 We captured a former leader of the dragon cult who told us that the masks have been collected. 621 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,800 So that is the information that we have. 622 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,800 And you're right, I don't know why we can even be having this meeting if that's the case. 623 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,800 But they must still be missing something. 624 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,800 Where is this cult member now? 625 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,800 God, I can't remember. Did we kill him? 626 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,800 No, he's still being held. 627 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,800 He's offline naked. So I mean, he's scarred emotionally. 628 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,800 But I mean, other than that, he had a tough go of it. 629 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,800 Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. 630 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,800 He is being held. 631 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:23,800 We would be happy to turn him over to you for further questioning if that's what you desire. 632 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,800 What I would desire is a commitment from you 633 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,800 that all the dragon masks are returned to us. 634 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,800 And I think that you have actually already shown some value just by this conversation. 635 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,800 In just this brief moment in exchange, 636 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,800 you've already established that knowledge about the location of the dragon masks 637 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,800 and potential leads of gathering more information. 638 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,800 Before we even talk about the resources, 639 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,800 the armies, the training, the magic that you have to bring, 640 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:07,800 just through this conversation, we have come across useful information. 641 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,800 If they can be trusted, what can we do to earn your trust? 642 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,800 Or they what can they do? It's OK if you never trust me. 643 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,800 I understand. However, I want you to trust me. 644 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:29,800 My experience in dealing with the smaller races is that you all 645 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:35,800 you all have the same flaws, the same quirks, 646 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,800 but there are individuals within each of the races that do rise above. 647 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,800 And it's those individuals that I think that we should be looking to 648 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,800 as the example for the races, rather than the pettiness 649 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,800 that can sometimes come from the rabble. 650 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,800 What might push me in a certain direction is because you are able to speak on behalf 651 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,800 of the other races. If you can make the commitment on their behalf 652 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,800 that all of the dragon masks will be returned to the metallic dragons 653 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,800 because they are far too dangerous to remain in this world and have dwarves, 654 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:21,800 elves or humans know where they are. If you can make that commitment, 655 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:27,800 then I could see myself leaning towards 656 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,800 us joining forces. What would you do with the masks? 657 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,800 Take them to another realm? How would you stop humans or elves or dwarves 658 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,800 from getting them again? We wouldn't tell you where they were. 659 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,800 I mean, it's a good strategy. Sounds good to me. 660 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,800 We put them under these giant cups. 661 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,800 OK, well, I look at Flint and 662 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,800 Thea and I guess Thaddeus, but, you know, we only need him to save us 663 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,800 when we're floundering. We don't really take his opinion into account. 664 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,800 And like exchange looks because 665 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,800 like that certainly sounds reasonable to me. I don't think this is 666 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,800 like they're objects that are too powerful for 667 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,800 people, for humanoids to have. We're too easily 668 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,800 corrupted to have something so powerful. Yeah, kind of I see the logic 669 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,800 with that. I nod like I take your hand and I give you a 670 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,800 perfect. Then we can agree 671 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,800 to that, to that term. Excellent. 672 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,800 And I look around at the other dragons at the council and 673 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,800 kind of do a head nod and kind of a nudge in dragon form, which 674 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,800 probably looks weird with the gestures of trying to say lots of wings, lots of neck. 675 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,800 Progress is being made here. Look at what we've accomplished in just a brief conversation. 676 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,800 I, however, am still not convinced. 677 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,800 What can we do for you to help 678 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,800 well, any concerns or fears you might have working together? 679 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,800 You most likely nothing, 680 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,800 but there is something that I 681 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,800 desire. If you can wring a 682 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,800 formal apology from one who speaks for 683 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,800 your kind, I 684 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,800 would be more agreeable to your circumstances. 685 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,800 Okay. I don't see why that has not 686 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,800 happened already and I apologize for that not 687 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,800 having happened already. As I said, there is nothing that you 688 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,800 can do. I want a formal apology from King Melendroc. 689 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,800 Okay. Yes, I will 690 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,800 speak with him. We shall see. He's not dead 691 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,800 or anything. I can speak with King Melendroc. I can. I don't think he's dead. We'll find out next time 692 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,800 on. Who knows what happened between now and then? 693 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,800 He's a dick, right? He was a British dick. 694 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:41,800 He's Misty Forest, right? 695 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,800 We know him. 696 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,800 He's all a king and they're all royalty. 697 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,800 Maybe I'll have some sway. King Melendroc will agree to this 698 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,800 because he knows that we need your help and hopefully because he feels 699 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,800 real bad about all that terrible shit. 700 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:11,800 So I'm sorry. This will make you feel better, but not about me, but about the situation. 701 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:16,800 It would do a lot to put the past behind us. That sounds good. 702 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:21,800 Let's all look to the future. I will make it 703 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,800 my mission to do this. Not just because we need your help, but because it is 704 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,800 the right thing to do. But mostly because you need our help. 705 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:36,800 That too. I'm not going to stand here and lie to dragons. 706 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,800 We all need something from each other. Let's be free. 707 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,800 No, we need nothing from you. You just said you needed an apology. 708 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:51,800 Not from you. 709 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,800 Does anyone need 710 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,800 some weed? 711 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,800 I start to raise my claw up, look around, and then quickly lower it back down. 712 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,800 I blow a giant smoke ring down that encompasses everybody. 713 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,800 And we're all immediately high. 714 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,800 I mean, I came in like that. 715 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,800 For you, it's the equivalent of the 716 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:31,800 Dracarrage mythil.
