1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
Previously, on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,360
Donnie is going to put on his Collar of Evolution.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,099
Like a magical energy swirls around him and he begins increasing in size and a

4
00:00:13,099 --> 00:00:20,000
golden shimmer comes from this energy and he grows to about the size of a human.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Holy shit!

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,400
You got a mirror or something?

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,160
I can see my beautiful self!

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,760
And look at the blue dragon scales that are getting a little bit bigger on the old

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,760
chest.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,480
They haven't grown much higher towards your neck, but they're beginning to spread down

11
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,679
to your side.

12
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,679
Which is nice, they haven't grown up because I like to wear a deep V on occasions,

13
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:41,600
so it's real good that they haven't been creeping up there yet.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,480
I've been noticing you've been trying to get those deep V's, so I've been trying

15
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,480
to hold it back.

16
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:46,719
I appreciate that a lot.

17
00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:54,359
You walk by Leosin's chambers, he smiles a little bit when he sees you, and he says,

18
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:56,560
good to see you, my friends.

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,420
You've dealt with the Misty Forest and the Dragon Council, everyone is hesitant

20
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:06,799
to move forward until you return, so thankfully you've returned today.

21
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:11,599
And Lady Leral Silverhand ushers you to sit at some empty chairs at the table

22
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:16,599
there and she says, dear adventurers, it is good to see you back.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,880
I guess the more pressing matter, the Dragon Council, will they help us?

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:29,400
They will, but they've made demands that will need to be met before they will help.

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,520
We will make sure that arrangements are made to return the items that they are

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,360
in need of and to make sure all things have been met.

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,200
The doors to the council chambers burst open, a young squire come rushing in.

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,240
I come with news of stopping the Cult of the Dragon.

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,799
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

30
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:55,520
We are a D&D fifth edition Actual Play podcast, and I'm your dungeon master,

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,400
Russ More, and with me today is Carla Johnson.

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,879
Hey, I'm Carla and I play Nulara Moonbrook.

33
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:03,760
And also Amy More.

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,280
And also Amy More.

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680
I play Thea Amastasia.

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,400
And Tom Laird.

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,080
Yeah, that's me.

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120
I play Flint Firebeard.

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Guys, it's been so long since we've seen each other.

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,039
Oh my god, it's been so long.

41
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:20,039
It's been so long.

42
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:24,200
I don't even know if I can remember what happened in the last episode.

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,200
I mean, that's pretty consistent.

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,159
Stuff? Did stuff happen?

45
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:29,200
I mean, you did step out for part of it, so that's legit.

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800
I had to sing some lullabies.

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,439
I get it.

48
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:35,840
I can't say the word lullaby without thinking of the Chuck Palahannouk book.

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,000
You guys ever read that?

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,680
I have not read that one from him.

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,879
I've read other stuff from him.

52
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:41,280
Super creepy.

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Apparently, there's a lullaby that if you sing it to your kid, they will die in their crib.

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,520
Oh, that sounds fucking great, right?

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Thanks, Chuck.

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,879
I think you can say that about a lot of his books.

57
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:55,920
You're reading and you're like, oh, Jesus Christ.

58
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:57,120
Thanks, Chuck.

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,360
I got that visual now.

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,759
Yeah, she was describing one to me as she was reading it.

61
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:02,360
And I was like, this is not for me.

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,719
Oh, it's his collection of gruesome stories.

63
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,639
And one dude is at the bottom of the pool

64
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,160
and decided to sit on one of the air intake filters.

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,680
I don't know why you're telling.

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,840
I'm just going to start talking.

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Yeah, no, just stop. Stop telling everything about this.

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,720
Read the room, Amy. Read the room.

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,320
I can't even watch a trailer to a scary movie,

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,440
so I'm not sure why you're trying to tell me horror stories on our podcast.

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,080
Well, it's not really a horror story.

72
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,680
I'm sorry.

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,240
I already told them.

74
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,880
No, it sounded like it was a horror story.

75
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Well, then, OK.

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,080
So I think the last book of his I read was Choke.

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,440
And I was like, I'm just going to stop reading him for a while.

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,360
I saw the movie.

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
It was a good book and everything, but it was just a lot.

80
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,920
I read a lot of his stuff.

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,120
I'm a sick and twisted individual.

82
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,480
But Chuck, if you want to come on the podcast, you just let us know.

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Yeah, three of us won't be there.

84
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,160
I'm sure he's a nice guy.

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,120
I like some of his books.

86
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,600
I just thought Amy was going to start telling, like, scary stories,

87
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,360
just to tell in the dark.

88
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,520
And I am not interested.

89
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,200
It was disgusting.

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Yeah, that's also a form of scary.

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Got his insides ripped out through his butthole.

92
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:10,560
Oh, God, Amy, I have to say it.

93
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:13,479
You didn't have to say, yes, I did.

94
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:14,879
Yeah, I don't think you did.

95
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,159
You know, you know where you won't get your insides ripped out

96
00:04:17,159 --> 00:04:17,920
through your butthole?

97
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,159
Patreon, Patreon dot com slash.

98
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,120
I think that might be the best segue ever.

99
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:27,680
If you're a patron of ours, we apologize.

100
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Apologize. Yep. Sorry.

101
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480
Sorry. Even just listen to us casually.

102
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,079
We apologize. Still sorry.

103
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:35,879
Still sorry.

104
00:04:36,159 --> 00:04:40,600
But if you are a patron of us, you get an episode dedicated to you.

105
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240
And today, this episode is dedicated to Blaine Covert.

106
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,279
Blaine. Thanks, Blaine.

107
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,399
Blaine, you rock.

108
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,680
You know why Blaine rocks?

109
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,879
Because Blaine is an artist and he is going to drop some character stuff.

110
00:04:55,159 --> 00:04:56,480
Whoa, that's awesome.

111
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Yeah. I've I've heard he mentioned that.

112
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,079
Yeah. Yeah, he said it on Facebook.

113
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:03,159
So I assume that it's a legally binding kind of thing.

114
00:05:03,159 --> 00:05:04,920
I think so. Yeah, no, 100 percent.

115
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,920
That's how the Internet works.

116
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Every time he says he posts something, I go to it and it's not a picture.

117
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,840
And I'm like, not this time.

118
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:15,120
Blaine, just never, never post it.

119
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Send it to me directly.

120
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,360
So, you know, me, Tom and Carla can see it,

121
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,000
but just keep posting random things to Facebook.

122
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,160
He wants to do the one where Carla's dying in Grants

123
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,439
as Roundhouse kicks her bot, her spirit back into her body.

124
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
And I think that would be an awesome graphic.

125
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:34,759
Would be.

126
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:36,600
If you do that, Blaine, you're fantastic.

127
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,879
If you're not, you're still fantastic.

128
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,720
Still fantastic. Because life is busy.

129
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,800
You know what else is fantastic?

130
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,439
That Facebook group.

131
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:45,439
You're not in that Facebook group.

132
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,040
You should get in there. Things are getting good in there.

133
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,840
It's real fun.

134
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:51,319
People like post pictures of pets and funny jokes.

135
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:54,680
And also just like talk about D&D and just life.

136
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,639
It's fun. Yeah, it's a great time.

137
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,480
If you want to join that Facebook group,

138
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,000
we've got it up on our website as well.

139
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,800
DumbDragons.com or it'll be in the show notes as well.

140
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,399
So there's lots of ways to join us and do lots of cool things and fun things.

141
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:11,639
We make it really easy.

142
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,879
We try and make it easy and fun.

143
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,519
And I mean, once we once it kind of gets set up,

144
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,560
then then it's everybody else making it fun.

145
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,519
And I mean, we just we're just there having fun, having fun.

146
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:27,920
We're just there. We're just there.

147
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,120
OK, guys, let's play D&D. Yeah.

148
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:39,279
So you guys are in the council session and a darling squire

149
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,319
has just barged through the door and said something to the effect of

150
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,079
this letter contains the be all end all of ending the cult of the dragon.

151
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:53,839
I don't know if that's exactly what he said, but more or less, that's what it is.

152
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:55,560
It was just such a long time ago.

153
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,279
It's hard to say exactly what he said.

154
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,759
So long, so long ago, so long time.

155
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,719
And everybody obviously turns and looks at this this man who's come through

156
00:07:04,719 --> 00:07:08,480
and Lady Silverhand beckons him over

157
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,920
and takes a look at the letter and opens up and reads it.

158
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:17,439
And and says, well, that's interesting.

159
00:07:18,719 --> 00:07:20,279
And hands it to you.

160
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:23,480
And then she quietly leaves the room and takes the letter with her.

161
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,800
And we never find out what it says.

162
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,759
This is a teleportation scroll to another world,

163
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:29,560
and I will be taking it by myself.

164
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,519
She reads it, like pulls out a match, lights it, lights it on fire like, no.

165
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:37,639
Nobody else needs to know that.

166
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,680
She rips off her clothes to reveal a purple cloak underneath

167
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240
because she was part of the cult the whole time.

168
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,160
Bump, bump, bump.

169
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
I couldn't write that good.

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,879
No, she hands you the letter.

171
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,840
I guess you all kind of crowd around the letter and you read it.

172
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,680
And it says it's here.

173
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Hear you. It's hastily scribbled.

174
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:05,360
It says, you don't know me, but we can help each other immeasurably.

175
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,560
My name is Iskender, and I made a terrible mistake

176
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960
in joining the cult of the dragon.

177
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,920
The cult's horrifying plans are sure to bring doom to all,

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,000
but I can stop those plans with your help.

179
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,319
Rescue me from the cult's clutches,

180
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:28,279
and I will deliver to you the prize of prizes, the Blue Dragon Mask.

181
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,519
Without it, Severin faces an insurmountable setback

182
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:35,200
in his effort to call Tiamat back to our world.

183
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,120
The mask is here in Xanthal's tower, being studied and guarded

184
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,240
by only a handful of wizards, including myself.

185
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,559
The danger of my treason becoming known grows with every passing day,

186
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,120
and if I'm discovered, I'll surely be killed.

187
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,960
Please hurry for the sake of everyone and everything you value.

188
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,600
And that's the end of the note.

189
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,679
Well, he is immediately like, sounds like a trap.

190
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Oh, 100 percent.

191
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
But do we have any other leads to go with?

192
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240
No, but I feel like before we get into this,

193
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,000
you all have a succubus problem.

194
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,840
FYI, making people kill themselves and each other.

195
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,200
OK, let's get back to this letter.

196
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,759
Hold on. What?

197
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,639
So, you know that there's been mysterious murder suicides happening.

198
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:23,600
Yes. Well, there's been a succubus going around,

199
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,080
enchanting people, making them do her crazy shit.

200
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,319
She's working for Tiamat, pretty sure.

201
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,879
Or for the cult.

202
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:32,360
We had a run in with her last night.

203
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,319
We did. I blinded the bitch.

204
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,039
Wasn't enough because she ran scared.

205
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:40,200
So she's still out there.

206
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
And she she says she knows our plans,

207
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,120
which is highly unlikely considering

208
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,879
we barely know our plans.

209
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:52,879
So secret, we don't even know what they are.

210
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Well, that does, I guess,

211
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,879
explain how the cult has been able to keep a step ahead of us to this point.

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,440
So sorry, you you had a run run in with her and dealt dealt with the issue.

213
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Um, we laid a pretty good smackdown on her, but she yeah.

214
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Of course, they do.

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Is is that the reason one of our knights is is currently in jail?

216
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Yeah, he can probably let himself out now.

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,840
Oh, OK.

218
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Well, we, I guess, will talk to him.

219
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,080
So they she was

220
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,960
she was convincing them to murder, murder themselves

221
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,160
or each other. Yeah, yeah.

222
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,879
Hmm. We didn't quite figure out the why of that.

223
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:43,759
Maybe you guys can look into that.

224
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:47,879
Of course, while we go on this rescue slash

225
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:51,000
trap mission.

226
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400
All the best rescue missions end in a trap.

227
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,000
That's what I hear on the street. Word.

228
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,040
Lady Silverhand says with the utmost confidence that you totally believe.

229
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Oh, yeah.

230
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,680
Roll roll for confidence in her street lingo.

231
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,960
That's not she seems like she's street wise.

232
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640
I don't think she's ever seen the street.

233
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Not in a while, not in a while.

234
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
I'm I'm I'm an old elf.

235
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,040
I haven't seen the street in a long time.

236
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Anyways, OK, well, we have press.

237
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
What was the tower against? Sorry to interrupt.

238
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,040
What was the name of the tower?

239
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Zontal's Tower X.

240
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,720
O. N. T. H. A. L.

241
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Apostrophe S. Thank you.

242
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Silent Q. T. R.

243
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:34,960
Oh, wow.

244
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,399
I'm just shocked it didn't start with a G.

245
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,680
Now, if you recall back to your

246
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,800
veram, the white interrogation notes,

247
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,240
he mentioned Zontal's Tower being a stronghold for what was previously

248
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,480
the previous iteration of the Cult of the Dragon, which was, you know,

249
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,519
all about raising Dracaliches and stuff.

250
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:58,759
And he mentioned two names.

251
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,080
Jorgen, Paul and Iskander were two of the names that he mentioned.

252
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,320
Oh, I remember scoffing at the name Jorgen.

253
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,120
So we've heard of this Iskander person.

254
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,120
So this is yeah, this is a name that should be familiar to you

255
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040
in in your dealings with veram, at the very least.

256
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,960
Should we go talk to veram before we leave?

257
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Veram, because he's in town, like in jail, isn't he?

258
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,600
As far as you know, yeah.

259
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,600
Because he might have some like insight into how to get into this tower

260
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,040
without raising a big ruckus.

261
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:36,759
You know how much we hate a ruckus.

262
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:40,240
I love a ruckus, but it's not helpful a lot of the times.

263
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,680
And he would know if.

264
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,879
I don't know, we might.

265
00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:49,759
He might know if Iskander also was someone who seemed to be having doubt.

266
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,960
OK, let's go talk to veram.

267
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Well, let's ask Silverhand, like is is

268
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:00,000
when we question veram, he mentioned Iskander.

269
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,279
Can we is he still here in jail?

270
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:04,480
Can we speak to him again?

271
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,759
Yes, we can make arrangements for you to continue an interrogation of him.

272
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Short answer. Yes, sure.

273
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,360
Also long answer. Yes.

274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,159
Also long answer. You got it.

275
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:16,759
Stop trying to be so street.

276
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:21,480
It's not who you are trying, trying to be relatable to my new

277
00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:22,720
to the youth.

278
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,639
She holds up the page, the page that she pulled out of her sash

279
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,759
and is like, I'm just I'm just trying to be part of the club.

280
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:30,840
Oh, God. For a second, I thought she literally held up

281
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,639
like the squire, like the page.

282
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:35,720
I'm trying to be like this.

283
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,600
I'm trying to be like this guy right here.

284
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,319
Tell me your secrets.

285
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:42,559
And she's screaming into his face.

286
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,799
Things got weird. Yeah, right.

287
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:49,360
No, she says, yes, we can definitely arrange for you to speak with veram

288
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,480
and ask him about this.

289
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,000
There is one more piece.

290
00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:56,759
One more lead, rather.

291
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,000
No, nobody else can go on except you.

292
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,840
And before this young man stormed into the chambers,

293
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,600
I was about to bring up the fact that you have been requested

294
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,559
by the Wizards of Thay

295
00:14:10,519 --> 00:14:13,120
to go to Thay and speak with them,

296
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,919
then convince them to help us.

297
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,759
I feel like this might be like another one of the Dragon

298
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,600
Council things where it seems like

299
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,159
the blue mask is a pressing issue.

300
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:28,960
Because if he gets caught, he's going to get murdered.

301
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:33,279
And so the council of the Thay Wizards

302
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,480
may have to wait a few months.

303
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,519
They have that kind of time.

304
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:42,519
Aren't the Wizards of Thay bad guys?

305
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:48,000
Yes. The Wizards of Thay have been helping

306
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:52,799
or been known to be helping the cult of the dragon in the rise of Tiamat.

307
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:55,080
But we have been approached by

308
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,520
one such wizard.

309
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Her name is Nye Ilmich,

310
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120
and she comes directly from the Wizards in Thay.

311
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520
And they say,

312
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:13,840
and they give us their word that the Wizards

313
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,160
that are helping the cult of the dragon are in no way related

314
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,400
to the Wizards in Thay.

315
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,560
In fact, they are exiles of.

316
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,280
They position it that if we don't convince them

317
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,120
that we are worthy of their help.

318
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400
That we will not succeed.

319
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,680
In what's to come.

320
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,600
So we get to choose between trap A or trap B.

321
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,760
Yeah, at least we have a choice.

322
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Would you like the Squire to decide?

323
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,840
No, I think.

324
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Hey, why are you still here?

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,759
I don't know. She's still holding me.

326
00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:58,080
She's still yelling in your face.

327
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,080
Slides are dangling.

328
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:02,440
She's very strong.

329
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,120
I don't know. Let's hash this out, guys.

330
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,560
What do you think?

331
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,080
I think Amy's right in the fact that one might be more time sensitive

332
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,320
than the other, but if these wizards need any sort of time

333
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,600
to, like, get all their shit in a row before they help us out,

334
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,879
that might be time sensitive, too.

335
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,879
Yeah, I think, though, in terms of immediacy,

336
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,279
having the blue mask would definitely buy us

337
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,159
a lot of time, hopefully, because that's kind of an integral piece.

338
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,480
If we have a chance to get an integral piece versus a chance for help

339
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:40,759
to get an integral piece, I say we go for the piece first,

340
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,720
because if they murder Iskander,

341
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,000
then I mean, that chance is gone.

342
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:51,680
Whereas we can always plead, you know,

343
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,399
please forgive us.

344
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:57,080
We were pleading, you know.

345
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Well, we were fighting the cult of the dragon.

346
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,600
Got here as soon as we could.

347
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:10,079
What's the location difference, like geography wise in one super south?

348
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
So Zompel's tower, you know,

349
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,519
to be on the southern edge of the Grey Peak Mountains,

350
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,039
which is near ish to the Serpent Hills.

351
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:27,839
So you're looking at four to five hundred miles from your current location in Waterde.

352
00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:34,160
Faye, and this is Lady Silverhand talking, Faye is

353
00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:40,079
twenty five hundred miles to the east.

354
00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:40,639
What'd I say?

355
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:43,119
You're pretty bang on.

356
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:43,519
Right?

357
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:47,440
However, Nye Ittlemitch

358
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,079
has the ability to teleport you to Faye.

359
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,079
Now, the concern being you are the only ones to go to Faye.

360
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,359
That places you a very long ways away from here.

361
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:09,440
I don't want to make decisions anymore.

362
00:18:10,639 --> 00:18:12,240
Looks like it is up to the squire.

363
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Faye, odd, we go and save.

364
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,960
It was odd.

365
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:19,039
It was a nineteen.

366
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:20,319
Odd you go and save the guy.

367
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Well, I mean, you're right.

368
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:29,120
In that Iskander's note does appear that people are on to him,

369
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:32,000
whereas you can be teleported in an instant to Faye.

370
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,599
It's a whole fuck ton long ways away.

371
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,200
So if you go there first and you for whatever reason get stranded there,

372
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,400
it's hard to get back.

373
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,039
Well, I mean, you have a train, but still like twenty five hundred miles,

374
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:50,240
as I always said, is still twenty five hundred miles on a train.

375
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,000
Here's the map you've been working on.

376
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,440
It's over here.

377
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:53,680
Right.

378
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,759
It's not even on the map.

379
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:56,160
It can't even see the map.

380
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,000
It is literally off the map.

381
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Yeah, they've left it off the map for the very reason that you will not be walking there.

382
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,480
Faye pipes up and she says,

383
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:15,200
And although I do believe that having a group of wizards wanting to clear their name

384
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,880
and help us would be a tremendous aid in this,

385
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,799
I do think Iskander probably doesn't have a lot of time left.

386
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:32,720
And if we are to seize this opportunity of potentially getting the blue dragon mask,

387
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,839
I think we would be stupid to pass that up.

388
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:37,759
I agree.

389
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Oh, you're not talking to talking to.

390
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,440
No.

391
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,720
Well, you were there, too.

392
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,519
I don't mean you were also part of the conversation

393
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720
and that you're standing there holding that poor squire.

394
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,640
So you can drop him.

395
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,279
That'd be great.

396
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:53,600
Right.

397
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,160
Right. Sorry.

398
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,880
It's really awkward.

399
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,640
Yes. Be a long boy.

400
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Thank you.

401
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:09,200
If we are to be symbols, perhaps a victory in recovering a mask would be a good way to motivate.

402
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:11,839
So I agree.

403
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,000
Let's go with trap A.

404
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,839
Flynn?

405
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:19,440
Flynn just nods vigorously.

406
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,079
Oh, how vigorously does he nod?

407
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:26,480
Like nod, like you wouldn't confuse him with someone who's head banging along to metal,

408
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,519
but like almost teeth chattering sound effects.

409
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:30,400
That's how vigorous.

410
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,240
No, he's not not quite that hardcore.

411
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,240
Just a lot of beard rustling.

412
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,799
Classic beard rustling sound effect.

413
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,039
Why is that a big beard doesn't take a lot for that to rustle?

414
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,279
You need to get him some beard oil for the next winter solstice.

415
00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:51,279
It's real dry in the winter.

416
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:52,480
Sounding a little crusty.

417
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:59,759
Ooh, it's all that egg bacon, mega bacon sandwich thing that he had.

418
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:00,319
It's true.

419
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:00,960
Or whatever.

420
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,039
Well, I was thinking it was probably some leftover like beefy stew or something like that.

421
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,759
I hope it's not still beefy stew.

422
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:08,960
That was a long time ago.

423
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:20,960
Will we have an airship or a train or how can you get us to Xanthal's tower quickly?

424
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,799
Trains do not exist in this world, my dear.

425
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,279
But we can, yes, we can definitely arrange an airship and she points to the window and you see

426
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,759
fact that you didn't see them before because Russ didn't mention them.

427
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:41,600
There's airships lined all outside, hovering above Waterdeep.

428
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,799
And we will send you with as many as you need to get close,

429
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:49,279
as close as you can to Xanthal's tower.

430
00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:53,119
That's great because we kind of broke the last one you gave us.

431
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,399
Do you have a spare Grancis?

432
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:56,799
We broke that one too.

433
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:58,720
What, what do you mean?

434
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720
Oh god, no one's told them about Grancis.

435
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,359
Guys, come on.

436
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,639
I go to sing along, bye.

437
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,639
They come back and I have to break the news about Grancis.

438
00:22:06,639 --> 00:22:09,920
Amy, we can't be telling the council about every NPC that dies.

439
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,799
That's all we do.

440
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,720
Grancis has passed.

441
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,480
Grancis, we were attacked.

442
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:27,359
For someone who hates Grancis, she sure brings them up a lot.

443
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,399
It's true.

444
00:22:28,399 --> 00:22:30,559
Well, because you know what, there is a soft,

445
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:33,359
like she's got a soft spot for him, but she would never admit it.

446
00:22:34,879 --> 00:22:44,160
Grancis, we were attacked and in the airship and well, Grancis did his best and

447
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,480
essentially saved all of us in the crash.

448
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960
He was unable to save himself.

449
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Well, rest his soul.

450
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,200
We will take the necessary steps to inform his next of kin

451
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,960
and see that his belongings are given to her.

452
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,440
He had family?

453
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:18,240
He, yes, he had, has a daughter, Grancine.

454
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:27,759
It's amazing and horrible in every way.

455
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,960
Oh, it sparked an anger within me just hearing that name.

456
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,120
But we will take arrangements.

457
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:40,559
I see the look of sadness in your eyes.

458
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:44,799
I wouldn't want to put you through having to go deliver that news.

459
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,559
White hot sadness.

460
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,960
So, sorry, you are going to Xanthal's tower

461
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,399
and you would like to speak with Ver'em before you leave still?

462
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,759
Yeah, I think that would be prudent.

463
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,759
Of course.

464
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,799
The guards here, I believe we are done all news we have unless more NPCs have died on

465
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:09,359
your side.

466
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,919
We never did find out what happened to GAlydindin, the upsy-downsy lift machine operator.

467
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:21,119
Yeah, that's fair.

468
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,000
Might have to go to Silvery Moon for that.

469
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,200
Okay, yes, the guards will take you to see Ver'em and they do so.

470
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,079
They lead you down the corridors, down to the lower levels in this building

471
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:43,039
and to a single cell where lying on the cot is the good old dwarf Ver'em the White.

472
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:47,119
You're outside the cell and the guard knocks at the bars and says,

473
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,679
Ver'em, there's these guys here to see you.

474
00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:53,599
Ver'em sits up and says, oh, it's you guys.

475
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,359
Good to see you again.

476
00:24:56,399 --> 00:24:57,679
Reckon shit for the cult.

477
00:24:58,559 --> 00:24:59,439
Doing our best.

478
00:24:59,439 --> 00:25:00,720
Much as we can.

479
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,119
Great.

480
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,880
Well, what brings you down here to little old me?

481
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Had a couple questions about, what is it, Zanthal's Tower?

482
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,280
Zanthal's Tower, yeah, yeah, you're heading there?

483
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,200
What are you heading there for?

484
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Yeah, we got a letter from Iskandar, something like that anyway.

485
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,600
Iskandar, yeah.

486
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,120
He says he can score us the blue dragon mask if we go and free him.

487
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,160
Get him out of there.

488
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:30,720
What do you think?

489
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,680
Do you think it sounds like a trap?

490
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,640
You seem like the kind of guy.

491
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,440
What do you think?

492
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,319
Is this a trap?

493
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,319
No, I mean, Iskandar was more always kind of,

494
00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:45,279
he was more open to questioning what's going on, you know?

495
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:49,839
He wasn't ever a guy who would take things at face value

496
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,640
and drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak, just right out of the gate.

497
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,720
Wasn't a yes man, was he?

498
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,600
Yeah, so he and a bunch of other wizards were-

499
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,120
Was it the blue raspberry Kool-Aid?

500
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,079
Because that shit's gross.

501
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:01,600
Yeah, I think so.

502
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,839
That's the one they had going around last time I was out there.

503
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,799
But yeah, he and some other wizards at the tower

504
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:13,120
were often put in charge of magical investigations

505
00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:19,039
of different artifacts and elements that were going on.

506
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:25,759
So, I mean, if they gave him a mask, why did they give him a mask?

507
00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:26,799
Not entirely sure.

508
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,120
Last I heard they were all at the Well of the Dragons.

509
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:32,160
But that said, it's not unheard of for them

510
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,640
to give those sorts of artifacts to that group at that tower.

511
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,560
So, I mean, that checks out.

512
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,040
Anything we need to know about this tower,

513
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,400
any kind of insight you can give us that would help us

514
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,040
get in there with as little trouble as we can manage?

515
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,440
Well, it's going to be trouble.

516
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,120
Well, yeah, I kind of figured I said with as little trouble.

517
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:57,600
Sure.

518
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Yeah, no, it's okay.

519
00:26:59,680 --> 00:26:59,920
So.

520
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,160
Paint me a picture.

521
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,680
It's a tower.

522
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,440
Okay.

523
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,160
It's very, it's got like a lovely dragon on top of the tower,

524
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,200
a statue of a dragon, not a real dragon, but a statue of a dragon.

525
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Big open courtyard.

526
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,800
Big open courtyard surrounded by a maze of endless things

527
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,080
that are trying to kill you.

528
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,280
And then some hills.

529
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,360
Some green spots leading away from some mountains.

530
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,160
Okay, so we've got mountains, green spots, hills,

531
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,000
mazes of things trying to kill us, tower with a lovely dragon at the top.

532
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,240
Yeah.

533
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,440
Neat.

534
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:52,000
Could you be more specific about the mazes and things trying to kill us?

535
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,880
I mean, I've never been through the maze before.

536
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,080
They have a direct teleportation.

537
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,160
Damn, I thought it was a tunnel system.

538
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,560
No, no, that would be easy for you to get in there.

539
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,760
You just have to find the end of the tunnel.

540
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,640
But no, it's like a one-way, two-way transportation

541
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,040
from the Well of the Dragons to Xanthal's Tower.

542
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,000
So either you got to be in Xanthal's Tower

543
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,920
or you got to be at the Well of the Dragons.

544
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Or you just got to fly over the maze.

545
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,240
There's this thing called a barricade, like a magical barricade

546
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,559
that makes you go through the maze.

547
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,279
You can't go over it.

548
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,960
You can't go around it.

549
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,519
You got to go through it.

550
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,879
Yeah, I mean, you could if you can dig really good.

551
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:47,119
Yeah, so if you try and go over it,

552
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:52,000
there's this extradimensional teleportation thing

553
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
that happens and the thing disappears.

554
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,720
The tower itself, that said.

555
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,480
So you have to go into the maze in order to get to the tower.

556
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,920
I'd like to say there's a way around it.

557
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,040
I mean, you could try and dig,

558
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,840
but I have a feeling that if you go over,

559
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,720
it's going to be a similar thing going on.

560
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Oh, okay.

561
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Now, you said you've never been in the maze,

562
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,920
but do you maybe happen to know the path through the maze?

563
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,920
No, it's an ever-rotating, changing animal.

564
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,440
They have it set up so that if one person goes in,

565
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,360
it's not going to be necessarily the same

566
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440
for the next person or group to go in.

567
00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:33,440
It's wicked like that.

568
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:34,960
Maze runner?

569
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,500
Oh.

570
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,039
Maze runner.

571
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:39,680
Wicked.

572
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,759
Because the maze always changes.

573
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:45,920
Death care.

574
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,319
Scorch trials.

575
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,839
Fourth one.

576
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,640
Yes, that other one.

577
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:01,759
Hey there, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More.

578
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:05,599
Thank you so much for joining us for episode 46 of Dumbgeons and Dragons,

579
00:30:05,599 --> 00:30:09,039
titled An Interrogation and a Decision.

580
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:10,160
I don't have a lot for you today,

581
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,160
so I'll just start by saying a huge thank you to everyone

582
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,640
for downloading and listening and supporting the show online

583
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640
by sharing links to episodes that they love

584
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,320
and providing wonderful reviews on iTunes, Stitcher, and Podchaser,

585
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,440
and anywhere else that you have been letting us know that you care.

586
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,480
Really means a whole lot to us and certainly makes our day amazing

587
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,759
when a random review pops up or someone joins our Facebook group

588
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:31,680
and has such lovely things to say.

589
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,600
And I mean, it feels like a bit of a poor segue,

590
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,640
but if you like what we're doing and would like to support us directly,

591
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,960
please visit our Patreon page, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

592
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,240
There you can find a rich community and some awesome people

593
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,799
who help make this show better with each episode.

594
00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:49,920
Our patrons just helped us purchase new equipment for Tom's setup,

595
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,799
including a new microphone and stand that you should start hearing the benefits

596
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,240
from around mid-August based on where we are currently recorded to.

597
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,720
So thank you as always to our patrons for the support they provide each month,

598
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,319
and really every day.

599
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,799
We have plenty of tiers and rewards to suit any budget,

600
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,759
including monthly bonus episodes where we run different games

601
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,480
and test different systems, including the one right now

602
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,720
we just started up, Fatecore, where we start from the very beginning

603
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
and learn how to use the system and promptly forget

604
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,400
in traditional Dumbgeons and Dragons fashion, obviously.

605
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,160
But again, that's Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

606
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Hope you're able to check it out.

607
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,240
And if you aren't able to support us through a monetary pledge,

608
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,839
we get that 100%.

609
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:32,559
If you like what we're doing and want to support the show in other ways,

610
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:33,920
like I mentioned at the beginning there,

611
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,079
the best way to do that is share a link to the show

612
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:40,079
and talk about us on social media or on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram,

613
00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:42,639
which is where you can link your friends, family,

614
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:47,359
or anybody else you meet on the internet that you meet and chat with every day.

615
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,399
Word of mouth is one of the most fantastic ways

616
00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:54,240
to get a show out to the masses, especially podcasts.

617
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,240
So thank you for doing that.

618
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,639
Speaking of which, all of our social media links

619
00:31:58,639 --> 00:32:00,399
can be found at dumbdragons.com.

620
00:32:00,399 --> 00:32:04,960
So go check out the website and join, follow or like where you can today.

621
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,399
And big thanks to Sirenscape for some of the amazing atmosphere.

622
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Make sure you check them out at sirenscape.com to bring your games to life.

623
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,519
And that's another thing that patrons have helped us get is Sirenscape.

624
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:18,480
It's a subscription-based sound effects and music library that,

625
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,240
because of Patreon donations,

626
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,120
have enabled us to add a little extra to each episode each and every time.

627
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,000
Links for everything mentioned today can be found in the description.

628
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,800
The next episode will be out next week, August 1st.

629
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Let's get back to the episode right now, though,

630
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,320
and get some interrogating done.

631
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Have a great week.

632
00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:36,000
We'll talk soon.

633
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,759
Okay. I don't know about you guys, but...

634
00:32:47,119 --> 00:32:49,759
I mean, the maze sounds super dangerous, but I'm kind of into it.

635
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,440
Oh, I like your attitude, Thea.

636
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:51,839
All right.

637
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:57,200
What I'd probably warn you is just make sure you're stocked up and ready to go.

638
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:01,039
Because from, I mean, not many people make it out of the maze.

639
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:04,639
So something tells me there's not a lot of downtime in the maze.

640
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:07,680
Okay. Well, thanks.

641
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,440
More good news from Varam.

642
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,200
And no one had to get naked.

643
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,639
No, no, I was trying to give you as much as I could, so nobody got naked.

644
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,000
I mean...

645
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:19,680
I just, I shoot him a big old wink.

646
00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:22,639
Jeepers Creepers.

647
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:27,039
I mean, it's not Conjugal Visit Day, but...

648
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:31,119
Out of curiosity, what day is Conjugal Visit Day?

649
00:33:32,639 --> 00:33:34,240
Do you position that to the guard?

650
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,160
I was asking you as the DM.

651
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:40,960
This is quite the prison if Varam's getting Conjugal.

652
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,480
That's good.

653
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,839
Well, he's in a private cell, too.

654
00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:46,880
There's only one.

655
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,000
It's probably a Wednesday.

656
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,640
Okay.

657
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:48,960
Okay.

658
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,359
What are the days of the week in...

659
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:52,799
Oh, good question.

660
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,079
Oh, that is a good question.

661
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:56,559
Because I'm sure it's not lunar.

662
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:57,759
It's not Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

663
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:01,359
It's not like a Roman calendar thing going on here.

664
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Lindy, Marty, Meck...

665
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,800
Well, I'm excited.

666
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,320
This has nothing to do with anything.

667
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,519
I know, but we're learning.

668
00:34:09,519 --> 00:34:12,960
Faerunian Standard is a 10-day week.

669
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:13,440
Oh, God.

670
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:24,240
So, you've got Chonday, Selday, Helmday, Ogday, Mizday, Kelday, Laffday, Sunaday,

671
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,240
Lidey, and Shardday.

672
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,039
Not to be confused with Shardday.

673
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,360
Oh, that is a much different day.

674
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Completely different.

675
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,559
Each for a different god.

676
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,559
I could go through all the gods if you really want to.

677
00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:41,440
No, that's fine.

678
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,119
Would you like the calendar as well, the months as well?

679
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,199
Because I could correspond them to the appropriate months.

680
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,519
January is Hammer.

681
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,759
Description, Deep Winter.

682
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:01,600
February is Alturiak, the Claws of Cold.

683
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,800
Of course.

684
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,960
March is Tres, which is of sunsets.

685
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,200
April is Tarsak, which is of the storms.

686
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,800
I'm going to refer to everyone's going to be like,

687
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,920
Winter Birthday, and they'll be like,

688
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,320
Tarsak.

689
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:14,960
Sintarsak.

690
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,720
Sintarsak.

691
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:18,400
Mine's in the Claws of Winter, so...

692
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:19,760
What was it?

693
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:20,560
Claws of Cold?

694
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,480
Alturiak, which is the Claws of Cold.

695
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,840
Hammer guy myself.

696
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:26,340
Yeah.

697
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,199
May, Myrtle, which is the Melting.

698
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:33,039
June, Kaithorn, which is the Time of Flowers.

699
00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:35,760
July, Flame Rule, which is Summer Tide.

700
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:43,199
Then we've got August, which is Elysias, which is High Sun.

701
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:46,000
September, Iliant, which is the Fading.

702
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,480
October, Marpenoth, Leaffall.

703
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:53,760
November, Uktar, which is the Rotting.

704
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,960
December, Night Tall, which is the Drawing Down.

705
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,840
The Drawing Down.

706
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,320
This is very Northern Hemisphere centric.

707
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,600
Yes.

708
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,080
Yeah.

709
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,320
Well, who doesn't like Four Seasons?

710
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,840
Who doesn't like learning, like we just did?

711
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,960
There is an elven variation of the Ten Day,

712
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,320
which I will send to you for your own information.

713
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,880
Oh, it looks like it's so much harder to say.

714
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,680
Well, it's elven.

715
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:24,000
So it's all the elven gods.

716
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:27,919
Anyway, so that's your calendar update.

717
00:36:27,919 --> 00:36:29,759
And when is Conjugal Visit Day?

718
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,079
It's a Wednesday.

719
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:34,159
Which there is no Wednesday because it's a Ten Day.

720
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:34,639
It's a Ten Day.

721
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:35,279
What's wrong with you?

722
00:36:35,279 --> 00:36:36,239
Oh, fuck.

723
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,159
Well, is there a fuck day?

724
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:44,480
I think that is every day if you're asking flame against.

725
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,839
Well, Og Day.

726
00:36:45,839 --> 00:36:48,079
Og Day, obviously, is Conjugal Visit Day.

727
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,159
Classic Og Day.

728
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:50,399
Yep.

729
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:57,119
Obviously, because it's the day for Agma, the god of knowledge.

730
00:36:57,119 --> 00:36:57,679
Oh, yep, that's the one.

731
00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:00,559
I think it would be Cynidae, the god of beauty and love.

732
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:02,559
Yeah, well, if I had read them all by that point,

733
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:05,199
that would have been probably a better choice, but I didn't.

734
00:37:06,319 --> 00:37:07,199
It's canon now.

735
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,079
It has been established.

736
00:37:12,799 --> 00:37:16,480
So there's your little bit of the world for this episode.

737
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:16,960
All right.

738
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,839
I like it.

739
00:37:17,839 --> 00:37:18,319
Yeah.

740
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:18,960
Thank you, Varan.

741
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,119
And we learned about a place off the map.

742
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:23,599
We're learning so much about the world.

743
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:24,639
The world is getting bigger and bigger.

744
00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:26,240
There's so much off the map, guys.

745
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:26,800
So much.

746
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,400
I can show you the world.

747
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:30,800
All right.

748
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,519
So you're good.

749
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:33,119
What else do you need from me?

750
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,440
You can get in through the maze.

751
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,240
Can't go over, can't go under that I know of.

752
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,960
And have to exit through the maze as well, obviously.

753
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,480
No, you exit through the gift shop.

754
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,519
Yeah, I mean.

755
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:48,000
I don't know.

756
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,599
Depending on how we're doing, maybe we want to.

757
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,239
No, we don't want to go to the dragon.

758
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,159
You probably don't want to go to the well of the dragons.

759
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,119
If you make it to the tower, obviously,

760
00:37:57,119 --> 00:37:59,199
you're probably going to be beat up a little bit.

761
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:01,920
But I don't know what.

762
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,480
I don't know.

763
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,719
Maybe they have other teleportations.

764
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,679
The only one that I know of is the one to the well of the dragons.

765
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,960
But Iskender, he's a pretty powerful wizard.

766
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Maybe he knows another way out.

767
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,039
Maybe he can create another way out.

768
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:15,679
Maybe.

769
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:17,119
I can neither confirm nor deny.

770
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,159
How many people are at that tower?

771
00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:20,659
Ballpark.

772
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,480
Less than a ballpark.

773
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,440
Less than a ballpark.

774
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,759
I mean, you're not going to run into.

775
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,159
I mean, there's some cultists that hang out there.

776
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:29,759
They've got some.

777
00:38:29,759 --> 00:38:31,440
They've got the wizards, mages.

778
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,400
They like to picnic in the death maze.

779
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:34,900
Yeah.

780
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,280
There's a lot of because there's wizards and mages.

781
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,559
They, you know, they play around with different, you know, elements and.

782
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:44,880
That sort of thing.

783
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,480
So you're probably only going to run into a few cultists, but

784
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,640
what they can drum up is probably going to be more of your concern.

785
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:53,680
Okay.

786
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,599
But we're not walking into an army.

787
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:56,400
Oh, no.

788
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,200
No, I mean, unless they've added stuff since the last time I was there.

789
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,960
It's going to be your big hurdle is going to be the maze.

790
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,240
And then once you're in there, it's.

791
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,480
Those five wizards.

792
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:11,680
The magic folks and what they've got placed around the building to protect themselves.

793
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,480
There's traps, y'all.

794
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,000
Well, this sounds great.

795
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,880
Hey, do we know how the page boy got this letter?

796
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,000
You didn't ask that question.

797
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,880
I'd like to ask before we leave because it just seems kind of weird if,

798
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,800
you know, nothing in, nothing out.

799
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:29,599
This is a very good question.

800
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:32,960
So let's leave around, see if we can get back to that.

801
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,880
Well, I guess we'll go back to the council chamber and see if.

802
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:40,960
Yeah, you head back up to the council chamber and some people have filtered out.

803
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,880
Lady Silverhand is still there.

804
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:45,599
A couple other members are still there.

805
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:52,640
The boy is not there, but a quick look outside the building.

806
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,840
You see him seated on the front steps.

807
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,039
You there, boy.

808
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:58,079
What day is it today?

809
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,360
It's dog day.

810
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,240
It's all day.

811
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,480
I know because I had sex this morning.

812
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,079
He's probably like 12.

813
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:09,039
Thanks, Squire.

814
00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:13,679
Squires are like little boys, right?

815
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,199
Sorry, what was the question?

816
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,599
How did you, how did you get this letter?

817
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:24,719
How did you come to get this?

818
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,559
I'm obviously holding the letter because I took it with us.

819
00:40:31,279 --> 00:40:33,440
It was placed before me.

820
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:34,579
By?

821
00:40:35,759 --> 00:40:36,559
I don't know.

822
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:43,759
I was walking to my home and it shot out of the bricks in front of me.

823
00:40:43,759 --> 00:40:49,679
And then I heard a voice that I couldn't find a person to go with the voice.

824
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:56,320
And it told me to take the letter here to the council.

825
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:02,320
I've been traveling for many, many days to get here.

826
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:02,880
From where?

827
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,799
Where did you come from?

828
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:13,680
I come from Subar, which is just north, you for your own information,

829
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,720
just north of Scornuble, which you have been in in El Toro,

830
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:24,880
if you remember back to the days of old and the original level one adventures that we had.

831
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,160
So a magic letter.

832
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,120
This voice in your head, was it a woman?

833
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:31,920
It was a man.

834
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,119
He sounded panicked and rushed.

835
00:41:35,839 --> 00:41:37,599
That was probably Iskander.

836
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:42,000
Well, it doesn't seem like less or more of a trap now than it did before, so.

837
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,719
No, I was just hoping that maybe if it came from a specific place,

838
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:52,159
we might be able to, I don't know, get through that way something.

839
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:52,639
I don't know.

840
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:54,559
It just seemed like a good thing to know.

841
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:55,599
Thank you, boy.

842
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:56,159
Of course.

843
00:41:56,159 --> 00:41:57,359
Go along your way.

844
00:41:57,359 --> 00:41:57,759
Thank you.

845
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,440
You need to stay seated in the place where he was sitting.

846
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,880
Right, because you were here to begin with.

847
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,000
Yeah, that's fine.

848
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,240
You've been traveling for a long time, you take it easy.

849
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:07,920
I said go on your way, boy.

850
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,880
Walks ten paces and sits on the side.

851
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,360
Of course, of course.

852
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,680
Okay, well, should we hop on this giant owl that is already waiting for us and like,

853
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,200
go a long way?

854
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,280
Or we could take an airship.

855
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,880
Oh, right, airship.

856
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,520
That's a good option.

857
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,520
Because I'm not entirely sure how long it would take on an owl.

858
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,120
And that's a return option where the owl might not be.

859
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,040
Uh, yes, absolutely.

860
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,520
So you're going to where the airships are.

861
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:41,060
Parked?

862
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:43,760
Yeah.

863
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:44,080
Yeah.

864
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,680
They just kind of roam free-range.

865
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,160
Is there anything you guys want to do before you do that?

866
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:49,440
I don't know.

867
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,240
I think I'm okay.

868
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:50,880
How about you guys?

869
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,960
I seem to be good, I think.

870
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,280
I'm trying to think if there's any one else that we should see.

871
00:42:59,199 --> 00:43:02,159
I think it's time to do what we do best.

872
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:04,159
Walk into a trap.

873
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:08,800
Wait, should we bring Flamikins and Thaddeus with us?

874
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,480
Yes, probably.

875
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:11,920
More the merrier.

876
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:13,599
Yes.

877
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:14,639
Okay, yeah.

878
00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:16,079
I think so, Mulara.

879
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,280
I guess out of game rush, should we?

880
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,960
This is more a question for you.

881
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,199
You're more than welcome to.

882
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,280
I was just going with what you guys were telling me to do.

883
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Straight up, I think that we almost died and some of us did die a couple of times.

884
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,560
With their help last time.

885
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,760
And we had their help.

886
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:34,640
Yeah.

887
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:43,040
I think having a wizard and a fucked up little goblin is probably probably just good to have.

888
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:43,840
Just, you know.

889
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,920
Yeah, let's go get them and see if they want to come.

890
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,600
Because maybe Flamikins is ready to hit the open seas.

891
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,720
Get on a boat.

892
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:57,600
Yeah, and maybe Thaddeus needs to deal with those grungs.

893
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,240
Who knows?

894
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:02,800
But let's go see them and ask.

895
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,880
So who do you try and go get first?

896
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,040
Flamikins.

897
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:15,120
All right, so you head back to your chambers and where you were staying.

898
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,640
And you knock on her door and there is no answer there.

899
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,160
I knock a little harder because she drank hardest out of all of us.

900
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:23,759
And I bet she's still sleeping.

901
00:44:23,759 --> 00:44:25,839
Yeah, you knock and there's still no answer.

902
00:44:25,839 --> 00:44:26,879
Can you try the handle?

903
00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:28,480
Yeah, it's unlocked.

904
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:29,679
I look in.

905
00:44:31,039 --> 00:44:34,000
It doesn't appear that she is in there.

906
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:34,960
Is there stuff in there?

907
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:37,759
She didn't have much stuff to begin with.

908
00:44:37,759 --> 00:44:41,119
But no, there's no, doesn't look like there's a bag or anything.

909
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,279
Bitch left though saying goodbye.

910
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,359
Well, she did want to get back on the open seas.

911
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:48,639
I think so.

912
00:44:48,639 --> 00:44:53,519
I'm gonna miss that little pervert.

913
00:44:53,519 --> 00:44:53,839
I know.

914
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,799
Okay, I guess let's try Thaddeus.

915
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,839
Yeah, you know where he told you where he lived.

916
00:45:05,839 --> 00:45:09,440
Whether you remember that or not is, I guess, up to you guys.

917
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,679
Maybe roll for remembering.

918
00:45:12,879 --> 00:45:13,199
12.

919
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:15,920
Okay, 15.

920
00:45:16,639 --> 00:45:16,960
Two.

921
00:45:18,559 --> 00:45:24,240
Yeah, Nularaaa and Thea, you remember whereabouts he lives.

922
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:27,039
And you get to his place and knock on the door.

923
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:28,880
And it takes a little while, a couple knocks.

924
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,720
And he, you hear stumbling from inside and he opens the door and says,

925
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:38,480
Oh, hi, what's the, what's the, is it go time?

926
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,639
It's go time for us.

927
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:42,159
Are you gonna come with us?

928
00:45:42,879 --> 00:45:44,399
Uh, yeah.

929
00:45:47,199 --> 00:45:49,199
Do you want to know what you're in for first?

930
00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:49,839
Sure.

931
00:45:49,839 --> 00:45:50,399
What do you got?

932
00:45:51,199 --> 00:45:54,799
We've got a bunch of wizards.

933
00:45:55,519 --> 00:46:00,239
We've got a maze full of things that want to kill us.

934
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:06,719
So almost certain death, but some adventure along the way.

935
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,960
And hopefully a blue dragon mask at the end.

936
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:10,320
All right.

937
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:10,880
All right.

938
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,720
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

939
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,400
I mean, let me grab my bag.

940
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:18,320
Let's do this.

941
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,039
Is he drunk?

942
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,079
I'm in a roll of perception.

943
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:23,619
18.

944
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,480
He doesn't, I mean, he looks intoxicated in some way, shape or form, but.

945
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,000
I feel like he has to fly the damn ship.

946
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,639
No, no, he was wearing kind of, you see him tuck back into his room.

947
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:46,319
And he comes back out and he's got like adventuring clothes on, but he has put on his robe and

948
00:46:46,319 --> 00:46:49,920
he's like, I'm not going and not being comfortable.

949
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:53,199
Oh, this is the fancy gold robe.

950
00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:53,440
Yeah.

951
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,400
And he, uh, he slings his bag over and can't forget my frogs.

952
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,000
He pats his bag.

953
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:02,000
All right.

954
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,839
He locks up his door and says, lead the way.

955
00:47:03,839 --> 00:47:04,639
Where are we going?

956
00:47:04,639 --> 00:47:08,799
Got an owl or something.

957
00:47:10,159 --> 00:47:11,519
We're doing airships.

958
00:47:11,519 --> 00:47:12,000
Oh, fuck.

959
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,079
You're an airship again?

960
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:15,440
Okay.

961
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,719
Don't crash at this time.

962
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:22,719
And you guys head back to where the airships are Mored and you, uh, you see someone

963
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:28,079
who looks like they're in charge, kind of a higher up airship captain.

964
00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:29,599
Excuse me, captain.

965
00:47:30,559 --> 00:47:30,879
Yeah.

966
00:47:31,759 --> 00:47:34,159
We need your finest air vessel.

967
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:39,599
You hear a voice from up in one of the airships and she goes, fuck yeah, bud.

968
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:41,119
Let's go get some shit done.

969
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,119
Yay.

970
00:47:43,119 --> 00:47:51,440
I'm an air pirate now.

971
00:47:51,920 --> 00:48:06,240
Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

972
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:11,599
Have we ever, have we ever mentioned the fae before Russ?

973
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:12,400
Have they come up at all?

974
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:18,079
Didn't they wreck like, didn't this have to do with the lizard people, the frogs?

975
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:22,400
So yes, everybody roll for what notes you might've rolling down.

976
00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:26,159
16.

977
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:26,719
14.

978
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,039
You hadn't rolled dice in a while.

979
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:35,199
So yeah, you've heard of the wizards of the fae basically since the beginning.

980
00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:39,920
They've been kind of hand in hand with the cult of the dragon.

981
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,159
Yeah.

982
00:48:40,159 --> 00:48:41,279
Like, aren't they bad guys?

983
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:43,360
Maybe ask that.

984
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:48,800
Aren't the wizards of the fae bad guys?

985
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,400
What do you want from me, Amy?

986
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,000
That was wonderful.

987
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,440
There's just a long pause and it was like, character voice.

988
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,320
That was the most Clint McElroy switch from regular voice to character voice I've ever

989
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,360
seen.

990
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:06,480
There's a Francis.

991
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,640
Did he, did he?

992
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:14,260
Hold on.

993
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:16,640
No.

994
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:17,519
No, don't get into it.

995
00:49:17,519 --> 00:49:18,079
It's fine.

996
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:18,720
No, hold on.

997
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:19,599
No, it's fine.

998
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:21,120
No, it's necessary.

999
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:21,840
Hold on.

1000
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,360
Oh no, it's necessary.

1001
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,200
Necessary.

1002
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,640
I just have to make sure I get the details right.

1003
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:29,360
Hold on.

1004
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,640
The sad, sad details we did not know.

1005
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:37,920
After we do the solo Grancis F, it would be, we'd know all of this.

1006
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,160
That's why I couldn't do this before, obviously.

1007
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,320
Obviously.

1008
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:42,960
Obviously.

1009
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,640
Look guys, he's an amoeba.

1010
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:48,720
Single cell.

1011
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:51,920
Just staring.

1012
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,599
I did not, I did not.

1013
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,559
I mean solid, but I was not there.

1014
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,960
It's like Tom's frozen joke from apparently.

1015
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:03,440
Nobody acknowledged it.

1016
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,440
I may not have heard it.

1017
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,880
I like a good frozen joke.

1018
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:10,240
It happens to Tom a lot.

1019
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:10,640
I don't know.

1020
00:50:10,639 --> 00:50:15,359
There's a lot of times when I'm editing through, I'm like, oh, that's a good joke, Tom.

1021
00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:16,159
Why didn't we laugh?

1022
00:50:19,279 --> 00:50:20,159
Getch my drift.

1023
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:23,759
A lot of time for short or long rests.

1024
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:25,279
Oh no, we got it.

1025
00:50:25,279 --> 00:50:25,839
You know what I'm saying?

1026
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:27,920
Yeah, no, I get it.

1027
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:28,239
Okay.

1028
00:50:29,279 --> 00:50:30,159
Yeah, where are you from?

1029
00:50:31,839 --> 00:50:34,079
I come from the land down under.

1030
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,239
That's exactly how you said that.

1031
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,000
Are there Vegemite Sandwiches down there?

1032
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,279
As a matter of fact.

1033
00:50:45,279 --> 00:50:46,079
It was probably.

1034
00:50:51,039 --> 00:50:51,519
Iskander.

1035
00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:52,400
Get the tire.

1036
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:52,960
What?

1037
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:53,519
Iskander.

1038
00:50:53,519 --> 00:50:54,559
Iskander.

1039
00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:56,000
It's probably just Ichiban.

1040
00:50:57,279 --> 00:50:58,319
Sapporo Ichiban?

1041
00:50:58,640 --> 00:50:59,840
Oh, Sapporo.

1042
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,480
