can fit through doors. 382 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,300 Can they? 383 00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:46,800 Sure. 384 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Yeah, absolutely they can and you head down the 385 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,399 stairs and you're out front of the building and 386 00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,800 you see Nulara and Flint are standing outside 387 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,100 and behind Nulara is a I mean not giant but 388 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,300 you would expect to see Donnie so therefore a 389 00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:08,300 giant gold dragon Wormling standing behind her. 390 00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:13,300 Thea kind of skips up with guacamole following 391 00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:13,899 close behind. 392 00:16:13,899 --> 00:16:15,399 Who's your handsome buddy? 393 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:16,700 It's me. 394 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:18,100 Donnie? 395 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,200 Yeah, you didn't recognize the eyes. 396 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,100 I look close into his eyes and yes, that is 397 00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,300 you Donnie. 398 00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:26,500 What? 399 00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:31,000 Oh, you put your fancy collar on because 400 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,799 I remember because I was there when he got it. 401 00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:36,600 Yeah, I was going to be like, 402 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,799 where did you get that? 403 00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:41,200 No, that's amazing. 404 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,200 Does he still maintain his like telepathic-ness? 405 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:50,100 He does I assume just because that's who he 406 00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,500 is, but he also now can speak draconic, 407 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:54,100 which I believe you also speak. 408 00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,600 Oh, I speak a little draconic. 409 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:03,399 He says, no draconic doesn't talk like that. 410 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:06,799 Yeah, Russ, geez, get it together. 411 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:10,200 Amy speaks it, but I don't want to right now. 412 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,500 And Flint is just walking around like in awe 413 00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,099 looking at Donnie like over from every angle 414 00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,299 and just like looking back at Nulara and then 415 00:17:18,299 --> 00:17:20,099 back at Donnie and back at Nulara. 416 00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:21,500 He's just blown away by this. 417 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:23,299 Guacamole hops up to Donnie. 418 00:17:23,299 --> 00:17:25,200 Are they similar in size now? 419 00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,299 Guacamole is probably still bigger. 420 00:17:27,299 --> 00:17:29,299 She gives him a nuzzle anyway. 421 00:17:29,299 --> 00:17:30,700 Sure. 422 00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:32,000 Like she knew. 423 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,400 What do you do? 424 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,200 I think we need to go and alert the council 425 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:45,100 about this fucking messed up succubus bitch 426 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:49,200 as well as what we think might be happening 427 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,500 with those. 428 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:53,900 She might be connected to those suicide murder 429 00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:54,900 suicides. 430 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:55,500 I'm not sure. 431 00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:58,200 You're fairly certain that she is the cause 432 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,100 of the murder. 433 00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,000 Well, we should go and tell someone of authority 434 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,300 about that and maybe they can do something. 435 00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:08,900 And we haven't talked to them like since we 436 00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,000 talked to the Dragons, right? 437 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000 This is true. 438 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000 Yeah. 439 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,100 Yeah. 440 00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:14,700 The last time you went there, it was before 441 00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:16,700 the Dragons and before the Misty Forest. 442 00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:20,800 So that was the last kind of set out and do 443 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,100 point that you would have talked to any of them. 444 00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,500 You all head to the council. 445 00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,000 You head right to the council chambers. 446 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Do you go try and check in with Leosin? 447 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,100 Where do you go? 448 00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:32,400 I don't know. 449 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,200 It might seem like a professional courtesy 450 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,000 to go check in with him. 451 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,800 You walk by Leosin's chambers. 452 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,500 The door is open and you poke your head in there. 453 00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:46,800 And he's seated at his desk looking down, 454 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200 scrawling some notes into a big ledger 455 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,100 that he has there. 456 00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,800 He doesn't notice you kind of step up there. 457 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600 Can we do like a real cool guy knock on the door? 458 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Yeah. 459 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,400 How does it sound? 460 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,100 I love that that's your cool guy knock. 461 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:03,900 Yeah, that's right. 462 00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:04,300 Yep. 463 00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:05,800 That is the coolest guy knock. 464 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,800 Right. 465 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,100 He looks up. 466 00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,400 He has kind of a, well, he has a tired 467 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,500 look on his face. 468 00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:14,600 Like he's been dealing with a lot of stuff 469 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,700 perhaps, but he smiles a little bit when he 470 00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:22,799 sees you and he says, good to see you, my friends. 471 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,000 It's been a while since your last visit. 472 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,600 A few weeks, a couple weeks. 473 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,100 I don't even know. 474 00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:32,400 So much has happened. 475 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,500 You've dealt with the Misty Forest and the Dragon Council? 476 00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:37,799 Yes. 477 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:38,299 Yep. 478 00:19:38,299 --> 00:19:40,600 We checked both those off our list. 479 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,600 It's a good time. 480 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,400 And you have a large dragon and owl behind you? 481 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,900 Yes? 482 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:47,400 Yes. 483 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:47,900 Yep. 484 00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:48,400 Okay. 485 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:48,900 Yep. 486 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:49,900 This is just Donnie. 487 00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:50,400 Not hallucinating. 488 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,900 Oh. 489 00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:52,900 This is just Donnie. 490 00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:53,900 Really? 491 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:56,300 New and improved. 492 00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,400 Yeah, it's just me, bud. 493 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,900 Don't worry about it. 494 00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:00,600 Okay. 495 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000 Well, if you're not worried about it, 496 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:03,900 I'm not worried about it. 497 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,200 It's okay. 498 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,700 Everybody is actually in the council right now. 499 00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:14,600 I don't know where to start with the news 500 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,600 that we have going on. 501 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,600 The Cult of the Dragon has been expanding rapidly. 502 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,100 Everyone is hesitant to move forward until you return. 503 00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:28,200 So thankfully, you've returned today 504 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,900 and hopefully can light some fires under their butts, 505 00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:33,400 so to speak. 506 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,500 I love lighting fire. 507 00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,600 I knew you do. 508 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,500 I knew you do. 509 00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:39,900 That's why I used that one. 510 00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:40,700 It's for you. 511 00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,300 You know me so well, yes. 512 00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,700 I can walk you down there if you'd like 513 00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:47,600 or if you have any questions for me prior, 514 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,799 please, please, please ask. 515 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:51,100 You get enough sleep, buddy? 516 00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:52,700 No. 517 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,400 When the Cult of the Dragon is trying to take over the world, 518 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,299 it makes it kind of difficult to get a good night's rest. 519 00:21:01,299 --> 00:21:03,700 You should really work on that. 520 00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:04,500 It's important. 521 00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:07,400 You know, you take care of you so you can take care of others. 522 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,299 Of course. 523 00:21:08,299 --> 00:21:12,799 I will take that into consideration tonight. 524 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:13,299 Thank you. 525 00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:15,200 Is there anyone that's going to give us 526 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,899 any pushback on the council these days? 527 00:21:18,899 --> 00:21:21,899 The last time you were here, everyone 528 00:21:21,899 --> 00:21:24,200 seemed to have their own opinion. 529 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,000 This time, I feel like you will be more in the driver's 530 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000 seat. 531 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,299 You have not heard us speak publicly for a while, then. 532 00:21:34,299 --> 00:21:36,000 They will have information for you 533 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,299 as to what has been going on 534 00:21:37,299 --> 00:21:39,500 and possibly where to send you next, 535 00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:41,200 but I think they're more concerned 536 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,799 with the reinforcements from the Dragon Council, 537 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:50,500 if that has gone well, and what of the Misty Forest. 538 00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,900 All right, let's drop some news bombs on these peeps. 539 00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,700 Let's go. 540 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:56,799 He leads you down the hallway that you've 541 00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:58,299 walked down a few times. 542 00:21:58,299 --> 00:22:00,799 And normally, the doors are closed 543 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,500 and you hear like a rumble of argument and chaos 544 00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:07,299 behind these doors, at least the last time you came. 545 00:22:07,299 --> 00:22:11,000 This time, the doors are open a crack 546 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,700 and it seems quiet. 547 00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:16,299 It seems almost silent. 548 00:22:16,299 --> 00:22:19,000 You hear a few stirs of chairs and you 549 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,799 enter and beyond the doors, you 550 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:29,000 see the council all seemingly silent in thought, 551 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,900 kind of looking off into different corners 552 00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:38,200 and not entirely all there, but Leosin 553 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,900 makes a little rap on the door. 554 00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:44,500 Well, this is the story. 555 00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:46,799 Does a cool guy knock like Flint does. 556 00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:47,600 Yeah. 557 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,600 Everyone, as if jarred from whatever stupor 558 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,799 they were in, look up and you 559 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:55,600 see a bit of relief wash over their face 560 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,299 as you enter the room. 561 00:22:57,299 --> 00:23:00,799 Leosin makes the announcement that you have all returned 562 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,299 and have news from the previous missions 563 00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:06,200 that you were sent on and says, 564 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,900 I will leave you to it. 565 00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:11,500 If you need anything from me before you leave, 566 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,500 please swing on by. 567 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:18,100 And Lady Laryl Silverhand ushers you to sit 568 00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:19,900 at some empty chairs at the table there 569 00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:23,200 and she says, dear adventurers, 570 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,100 it is good to see you back. 571 00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:28,200 What can you tell us of your journeys? 572 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,800 We went to the Misty Forest and we found Narenvain. 573 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,400 Is King Melandric there? 574 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,900 Yes, King Melandric is there 575 00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:41,500 and he sits up and he says, yes, you found my son? 576 00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,900 Oh yeah, I don't know if you want to call him that anymore. 577 00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:46,400 That bastard's riding around on a green dragon 578 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000 destroying elven villages. 579 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000 You see a rage well up inside. 580 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,200 He was angry the last time with just 581 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600 about everybody who was in the room. 582 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,400 But this time you see just this silent, 583 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,800 seething anger and his pale compLexion 584 00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:09,399 grows a bright fiery red and he says, 585 00:24:09,399 --> 00:24:15,500 so he's with the cult of the dragon? 586 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:15,700 Yes. 587 00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:18,899 I mean, to be a hundred percent honest with you, 588 00:24:18,899 --> 00:24:21,700 I'm not sure if he's with the cult or not, 589 00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:25,000 but he's definitely with a dragon named Cuth 590 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,200 and they're laying some shit down on people. 591 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,500 Oh, I have a journal. 592 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:30,000 Go for it. 593 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,299 Okay, I pull out of my regular bag, 594 00:24:33,299 --> 00:24:36,299 not of holding, but it does hold things. 595 00:24:36,299 --> 00:24:38,099 My bag of hold things. 596 00:24:38,099 --> 00:24:40,899 Oh, yeah. 597 00:24:40,899 --> 00:24:43,000 And I walk over to King Melandric 598 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,899 and I place the journal in front of him 599 00:24:46,899 --> 00:24:49,299 and I say, do not take our word for it. 600 00:24:49,299 --> 00:24:51,500 See for yourself. 601 00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,299 Read for yourself. 602 00:24:53,299 --> 00:24:53,500 Sure. 603 00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,500 Take a look at this. 604 00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:56,899 Check this out. 605 00:24:56,899 --> 00:24:59,599 You see him hold his hand on the book 606 00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:01,599 and then skim past a few pages 607 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,500 and he, as you look, 608 00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,600 you see some of the pages that you have read 609 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,900 where he's mentioned that in fact, 610 00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:14,800 the dragon mask that he had is at the well of the dragons 611 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,800 and that the cult of the dragon steps towards 612 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,600 becoming the power that it needs to be 613 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,700 or the pieces are being put into place 614 00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:27,400 and the red in his face begins to fade 615 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,700 to more of an ashen gray 616 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,400 and he just looks sick. 617 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,400 I tentatively and then firmly lay a hand on his shoulder 618 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,200 and I say, I'm sorry. 619 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,700 It is not your fault. 620 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:47,600 Thank you though. 621 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,700 My son disappeared. 622 00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:51,600 Let's be honest. 623 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,500 He was exiled a long time ago. 624 00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:54,799 He didn't disappear. 625 00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:58,400 Yeah, we kind of figured. 626 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,100 But this and you see him flip past more pages 627 00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:03,900 talking about King Melandric 628 00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:08,500 and how he's thought less upon by Naren Vane 629 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:11,100 and how he's a poor old man. 630 00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,400 You see different phrases skim by 631 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,600 and how he's going to be taught a lesson 632 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,700 and he shakes his head and slams the book shut 633 00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:23,300 and he says, I could not have seen this coming 634 00:26:23,299 --> 00:26:28,599 and I mean, there were signs that he was not 635 00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:30,399 all we expected of him. 636 00:26:30,399 --> 00:26:34,299 But we hoped, hoped for more. 637 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:38,700 Hey there. 638 00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:40,200 I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More. 639 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,399 Thank you so much for joining us for episode 45 640

00:28:28,900 and where the adventures could be off to next. 691 00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:29,799 Have a great week. 692 00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:30,600 We'll talk soon. 693 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,100 Lady Laral Silverhand, 694 00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:39,000 she pipes up and she says, 695 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000 I'm sorry you have ridded the misty forest of Kuth 696 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,000 and Nerenvane? 697 00:28:48,099 --> 00:28:52,299 Well, we drove them out of Kuth's lair. 698 00:28:52,299 --> 00:28:55,099 We're not sure where they are now. 699 00:28:55,099 --> 00:28:57,099 They were too strong for us to defeat 700 00:28:57,099 --> 00:29:00,099 even with the help of Delaine and Laskat. 701 00:29:00,099 --> 00:29:02,099 They were too powerful for us. 702 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,700 Yes, Delaine has been seen back in the city. 703 00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:10,299 He has not yet returned to the council. 704 00:29:10,299 --> 00:29:11,599 We weren't sure why, 705 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:13,599 but that could have something to do with it. 706 00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:17,599 Perhaps he himself is on the hunt. 707 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,400 I don't know. 708 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,800 I guess the more pressing matter, 709 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,800 the Dragon Council. 710 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,000 What of your meeting with the council 711 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,300 of the metallic dragons? 712 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,000 Do you want the short answer or the long answer? 713 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Well, I guess will they help us? 714 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,600 They will, 715 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,200 but they've made demands 716 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,400 that will need to be met before they will help. 717 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,400 And if I may say, they're not unreasonable demands. 718 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,900 What are their demands? 719 00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:53,700 And you see some of the other members 720 00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:57,400 kind of stirring in their seats a little bit. 721 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,200 Reparations, for the most part. 722 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,400 People of our kind have been not kind to them. 723 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,300 Our history is terrible, 724 00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:11,500 but the elven history specifically 725 00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:14,300 and what we have done to the dragon kind 726 00:30:14,299 --> 00:30:16,399 is inexcusable. 727 00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:21,000 However, they are willing to help us 728 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000 if a formal apology is given from you, 729 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000 King Melandric. 730 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,899 From me, for what? 731 00:30:29,899 --> 00:30:31,000 For what she just said. 732 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:31,700 Listen to her. 733 00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:33,799 Jesus Christ, right? 734 00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,200 The Drakorg mythal, 735 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,500 all dragons made agitated and turned to beasts. 736 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:42,299 That was the gold dragon pro-tanther 737 00:30:42,299 --> 00:30:44,599 that is looking for this apology. 738 00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:47,500 And if we give this apology, 739 00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,000 they will help us. 740 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,200 The gold dragons will help us. 741 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,099 Just the gold. 742 00:30:56,099 --> 00:30:59,200 This is the demand from the gold dragons. 743 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,399 And I think an apology 744 00:31:01,399 --> 00:31:03,399 for the help that they can give us 745 00:31:03,399 --> 00:31:08,000 is a very, very small price to pay. 746 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,099 You're right. 747 00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:14,300 We pressed our luck long enough 748 00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,500 against the cult of the dragon 749 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:19,600 and we need all the help we can get. 750 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,400 I will give them their apology. 751 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,500 I will make arrangements and do so. 752 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,000 Thank you. 753 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,500 You look around the room 754 00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,700 and this is the fullest the room has ever been. 755 00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:35,400 There are a couple new faces in the room as well. 756 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,100 You look to the right of Lord Dagglet, 757 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:44,300 Never Ember and you see a female tiefling 758 00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,700 sitting quietly to his right 759 00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:49,500 who you remember seeing 760 00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,600 at the very first council session you were ever at. 761 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,000 And she was very much very similar 762 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,500 sitting quietly to herself. 763 00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,900 You also see the ambassador from Mithril Hall, 764 00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:02,000 Ambassador Conrad Braunenville, 765 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,500 sitting at the table 766 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:05,700 and he hasn't been to any council sessions 767 00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:07,000 prior to this one. 768 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,799 Also in this room, you see another new face, 769 00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:16,599 an older man dressed in very luxurious robes. 770 00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:18,500 Delaine is not there, 771 00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,200 but Remilia Haven Tree of the Harpers is there. 772 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,700 Anthaar Frum is there. 773 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:27,099 And then the rest of the Lord's Alliance is also there. 774 00:32:27,099 --> 00:32:30,200 King Melandric, Sir Istival 775 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,000 and everybody else who you already know, 776 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,599 Lady Leral Silverhand and that's all. 777 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,000 Is that dwarf that's there, 778 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,600 by incredible dwarven coincidence, 779 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,000 happen to be the one that Flint knows from Mithril Hall? 780 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000 So that'd be amazing. 781 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,300 I do believe so. 782 00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,500 I mean, yeah. 783 00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,900 Yeah, that's the one. 784 00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:53,100 He is the ambassador. 785 00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,800 Good old Kenneth Branagh. 786 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,000 Kenneth Branagh? 787 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,600 I love that guy. 788 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,600 He's good in everything. 789 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,200 He's very good. 790 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,400 Flint turns toward Conrad Braunenville 791 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,000 and he says, 792 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,100 the Silver Dragons agreed to help us 793 00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:13,900 if we're able to get back something of theirs. 794 00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:18,400 And he's not really kind of looking at you directly, 795 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,600 but turns when nobody else responds 796 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:26,000 and you mean us. 797 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,100 Yeah, Braunenville, I'm talking to you. 798 00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:32,100 Keep up, over here. 799 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:33,600 Over here, bud, over here. 800 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,900 All right, all right. 801 00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:37,300 Yep, yep, okay. 802 00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:38,100 What do we got? 803 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:38,800 We got gold. 804 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,900 We got... 805 00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:44,500 Oh, it's not quite anything like that. 806 00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,900 The Silver Dragon, oh, to really a Karnos. 807 00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:52,200 Well, turns out we didn't treat her niece so well. 808 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,600 We kind of killed her and made her into a suit of armor 809 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,700 and they're not very happy about that, 810 00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:01,800 but they're willing to help us 811 00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:03,799 and let some bygones be bygones 812 00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:07,000 if we're able to return the armor to them. 813 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,599 Yeah, we made a suit of armor out of a dragon 814 00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:12,599 and they got a problem with that. 815 00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:18,699 Look, I mean, we only killed dragons 816 00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:22,500 if they were mucking with our stuff. 817 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,800 I don't think they're too concerned 818 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,199 about why it happened, just that it did happen, 819 00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:33,399 but they're willing to forgive provided we return the armor. 820 00:34:33,399 --> 00:34:37,799 And you see kind of every other person in the room 821 00:34:37,799 --> 00:34:41,399 look to Braunenville with a look of like, 822 00:34:41,399 --> 00:34:43,199 just shut up and do it. 823 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:47,099 And he kind of, he takes the hint 824 00:34:47,099 --> 00:34:51,199 and he's like, all right, I'll, yeah, 825 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,000 we got to return the armor and say we're sorry. 826 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,199 Okay, and then we're good. 827 00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:57,599 That's it, we're good. 828 00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:01,000 Otorillia Karno said we'll be good after that. 829 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,500 All right. 830 00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:06,599 Yeah, yeah, I can make that happen. 831 00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:08,099 Silver dragon armor. 832 00:35:08,099 --> 00:35:10,799 Yeah, not going to be happy to see that one go, 833 00:35:10,799 --> 00:35:12,599 but okay, I get it, I get it. 834 00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:16,900 There were of course three other dragons at the council. 835 00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:22,500 The good news is one has made no further demands of us. 836 00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:23,199 That's- 837 00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:25,099 So good news first. 838 00:35:25,099 --> 00:35:26,900 Much easier to deal with. 839 00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,099 Good news first. 840 00:35:29,099 --> 00:35:34,299 Couple things though that are still being looked for 841 00:35:34,299 --> 00:35:38,299 and this is more perhaps to everyone, 842 00:35:38,299 --> 00:35:41,900 not specifically to one race, 843 00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:46,900 but the brass dragon, the Luthora, 844 00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:49,500 they'd like the masks returned. 845 00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,799 When the battle is done and we've defeated the cult, 846 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,400 they want those dragon masks back. 847 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,700 There's a bit of silence over the whole room as you say that 848 00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:04,400 and Lady Silverhand, 849 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,000 she speaks up first and she says we need to win first 850 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,600 before we can deal with who is to deal with the masks. 851 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,800 If we are successful then there is something, 852 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,100 there's room to bargain with them 853 00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:27,600 for perhaps protection from these masks ever again. 854 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,200 I don't really think it was negotiable. 855 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,600 I don't think it was negotiable 856 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200 nor was it made as a threat. 857 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:39,000 They don't want the masks back to harm us. 858 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,400 They could harm us whenever they want. 859 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,700 They want the masks back because they belong to dragons 860 00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,700 and we've taken them. 861 00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:55,200 Of course, I see no issue in working with them 862 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,100 to make sure they're kept safe 863 00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:59,800 and it could even be in their hands. 864 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,500 So yes, we will make that concession 865 00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:06,000 so long as we receive the protection 866 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,000 of the metallic dragons 867 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,700 which we desperately need at this point. 868 00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:18,000 And our final demand we've been asked to return to you 869 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,900 with comes from the copper dragon, Tazmakala, 870 00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:25,400 who wants our promise that this will be the only time 871 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:26,699 we call upon them. 872 00:37:26,699 --> 00:37:33,500 They will fight with us for one war, but only one war. 873 00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:40,400 They don't want to start a series of never-ending conflicts. 874 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,000 This is it. 875 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:41,800 They will fight. 876 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,300 They will help us defeat the cult and then that's it. 877 00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:52,300 Well, honestly, I hope it never gets to a point 878 00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:54,600 where we need to call on them. 879 00:37:54,600 --> 00:38:01,600 So yes, we will deal with this one instance 880 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,200 and that will be that. 881 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,200 We will go our separate ways. 882 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,900 Flint shoots a look at Nularaaaa and he's kind of like, 883 00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,900 hey, I think we're fucking doing this. 884 00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:16,000 And you look around the room and you kind of see 885 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,699 some people are less happy about the arrangements 886 00:38:21,699 --> 00:38:24,099 that have been made, but nobody seems to be jumping up 887 00:38:24,099 --> 00:38:26,500 to say, hey, we shouldn't fucking do this. 888 00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:29,199 Everybody seems to be in agreement 889 00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:32,599 that what needs to happen are these things 890 00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:35,199 to make sure that they have the dragon, 891 00:38:35,199 --> 00:38:37,900 the metallic dragons on their side. 892 00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:42,000 You at this point seemingly have sold them 893 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,099 on the metallic dragons demands, so to speak, 894 00:38:46,099 --> 00:38:47,900 for lack of a better term. 895 00:38:47,900 --> 00:38:49,099 Perfect. 896 00:38:49,099 --> 00:38:52,900 Lady Silverhand with that speaks up and says, 897 00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:56,400 we will make sure that arrangements are made 898 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,000 to return the items that they are in need of 899 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,099 and to make sure all things have been met. 900 00:39:03,099 --> 00:39:06,599 And have you, in your travels, 901 00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:12,000 have you seen much resistance from the cults? 902 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,699 Have you seen or heard tales of what we've been hearing? 903 00:39:17,699 --> 00:39:20,099 Like they've been expanding is what we've been hearing 904 00:39:20,099 --> 00:39:22,699 and the amount of people showing up in Waterdeep 905 00:39:22,699 --> 00:39:25,500 and in Baldur's Gate and even farther north 906 00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:27,799 up into Neverwinter. 907 00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:30,299 It doesn't sound like it's looking good. 908 00:39:30,299 --> 00:39:32,400 Well, we just got back to town last night 909 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,700 and it seems like shit's pretty bad here in town. 910 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:41,700 Also, we did hear from a bard about some local 911 00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:44,099 resistance cells that are cropping up here and there. 912 00:39:44,099 --> 00:39:46,700 So that's at least somewhat promising. 913 00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:49,099 She says, yes, yes, yes. 914 00:39:49,099 --> 00:39:51,900 And she reaches into her to a sash 915 00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:54,200 and pulls out a piece of parchment 916 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,200 and lays it on the table and on the table 917 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,600 is a symbol of a sword and an axe 918 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,300 crossed with the eyes of an owl over top. 919 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:09,000 And she says, is this what you speak of? 920 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000 Yeah, yeah, that's the symbol we were shown. 921 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,300 This is many people's, from what I gather, 922 00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:20,300 many people's symbol of hope now. 923 00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:24,100 And it would be, it would take a blind person 924 00:40:24,099 --> 00:40:28,699 not to see it, but you three are that symbol. 925 00:40:28,699 --> 00:40:31,000 How does that rest with you? 926 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,599 Oh, well, I feel good about it. 927 00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:35,599 I do. I mean, were we qualified 928 00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,599 when we took this job? 929 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:40,599 No. 930 00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:43,599 That is an understatement and an app. 931 00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:45,000 Are we qualified now? 932 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000 Still no. 933 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,500 No. 934 00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:53,599 But this war isn't going to be won by a select few. 935 00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:56,900 It has to be won with everyone coming together. 936 00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,699 And if they need a symbol in order to do that, 937 00:40:59,699 --> 00:41:01,900 well then, fuck yeah. 938 00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:07,400 I'm into being part of that symbol. 939 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,900 And you all are of this belief and stance?
