hand a little bit? 736 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,240 Yes, Thea. 737 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:43,840 Is it smart to have all the leaders on one airship? 738 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480 We are protected for the time being. 739 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:46,980 Okay. 740 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,480 How many, how many entrances are there? 741 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:58,960 Six known entrances that we have mapped out based on some of our 742 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,920 spies from the Harpers in Zhentar. 743 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,920 The ones along the north and west of the mountain are said to get you 744 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,920 closest to Tiamat's temple. 745 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:22,400 However, you will likely run into the most difficulty getting through those tunnels, 746 00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:26,079 being as that's where the majority of their forces 747 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,719 will be found that aren't charging towards us. 748 00:37:31,759 --> 00:37:37,599 Right, so we don't exactly have the element of surprise happening here. 749 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,799 We are hoping that you specifically will 750 00:37:44,319 --> 00:37:50,559 have more surprise than what we have, as they clearly see us coming. 751 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:55,920 Right, so we should take the back door. 752 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:03,920 Do you, have you sussed out what is the best of the six entrances? 753 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,920 It sounds like north and west are not 754 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,920 great options for the three of us going in alone. 755 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:15,519 Like I said, they will, they will pose the need for the being the, 756 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:24,079 the quietest you can be, or the most efficient in the way you dispatch of anybody you come across, 757 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:29,039 where those lead is directly into the temple. 758 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:36,880 If you are to enter along the southern face, yes, you will run into fewer forces, 759 00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:40,480 but you will be farther from the temple's entrance 760 00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:46,079 and have to make your way across the caldera to the temple. 761 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:52,079 And I mean, time definitely seems to be of the essence here, so... 762 00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:53,360 Yes. 763 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,920 What are you, what are you guys thinking? I'm, I mean, short of root, right? 764 00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:08,559 Yeah, I mean, we're, we're here, let's, let's get in there and get chopping people up. 765 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,279 I mean, that's what I always say. 766 00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:14,880 What do you, what do you guys lean into words? 767 00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:19,360 That's two options. Both are somewhat close. 768 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,360 There are three entrances along the north and west side. 769 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,400 Okay, three options. 770 00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:29,840 Whichever one we're closest to, where are we coming in from? 771 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,279 I guess wherever you can, 772 00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:35,759 I mean, obviously you're not going to pull the airship up and drop us off 773 00:39:35,759 --> 00:39:37,599 outside the entrance door, I assume. 774 00:39:37,599 --> 00:39:41,599 No. It doesn't seem tactically like the best idea. 775 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:43,199 Might be telegraphing it a little bit. 776 00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:43,759 A little bit. 777 00:39:45,519 --> 00:39:52,239 What we can plan is granting you potions of invisibility and get you as close to 778 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:58,639 the location as we can. You will still have to make your way. 779 00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:03,519 So when it's Russ's idea, invisibility potions are A-okay, understood. 780 00:40:04,799 --> 00:40:05,759 I'll take seven. 781 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,759 We have one for each of you. 782 00:40:10,559 --> 00:40:11,519 What if I drop mine? 783 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:13,920 Don't be clumsy. 784 00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:18,719 Don't make the DM mad. 785 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,799 Why are you under the bear again? 786 00:40:20,799 --> 00:40:24,159 This is exactly what happened last time three years ago. 787 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,639 That we still won't let go of. 788 00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:28,159 Full circle. 789 00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,519 I can't remember what city we're coming from right after he says it, 790 00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:33,279 but I remember that one time. 791 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:41,120 Before you moved to Korea, maybe the first time we played, we made you drop that potion. 792 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,680 How long do the potions last? 793 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,840 Not shelf life. 794 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,760 How long will they make you invisible? 795 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:58,320 I mean, we can guarantee nothing, but we hope that it will allow you to pass through 796 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,080 the horde as quickly as possible. 797 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,560 Without being seen. 798 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,320 Okay, didn't answer the question. 799 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,320 We hope it will last until you get to the entrances. 800 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,920 Cool, no fucking around, get to the entrance. 801 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,800 What would we say the terrain is here? 802 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,519 Volcano? 803 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:26,480 Leading up to the surrounding well of the dragons, farmland, rolling hills, 804 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,160 leading up to the mountain. 805 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,240 Well, as long as it's not sand. 806 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,800 Nope, no sand. 807 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,680 That would be awesome. 808 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,960 I was just asking because of my favorite terrain, like, 809 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,200 makes me real hard to track and whatnot. 810 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,200 Forest, swamp, coast, it's not really any of those things. 811 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,800 I guess I'll just have to count on being invisible. 812 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:50,400 Whatever, Russ. 813 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:59,040 Once you're inside, we know that Severn's plans are in motion. 814 00:41:59,759 --> 00:42:04,480 We don't know how long until his ritual begins, 815 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,719 or once it begins, how long it will take for him to open the portal 816 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,239 and for Tiamat to come through. 817 00:42:14,159 --> 00:42:16,159 So yes, speed is of the essence. 818 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:22,960 Now about this portal, is it like one big portal that she can just stroll through, 819 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,759 or is it like a smaller portal that she has to put like each individual dragon head through 820 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,480 one at a time and she has to like take her time to get through there? 821 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,080 He looks at you a little uncertain. 822 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,720 He's like, well, if I were the red wizards and Severn, 823 00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:42,080 I would aim for a large portal. 824 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,840 But then again, who knows? 825 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,360 Okay, all right, just, you know, just spitball in here, just looking for ideas. 826 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,880 Yeah, nope, that's fair. 827 00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,720 I mean, we can only hope that they open tiny, tiny portals and she is thwarted 828 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,400 before ever making it to the material plane. 829 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,440 Well, the good news is it sounds like a very simple plan. 830 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,920 Get invisible, get inside, kill all the people between us and Severn, 831 00:43:14,559 --> 00:43:16,559 kill Severn, stop the ritual. 832 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:18,800 That is the goal. 833 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,640 I mean, that's a simple enough plan for us to do it, guys. 834 00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:26,079 I mean, the bad news is all of that that's going on. 835 00:43:26,079 --> 00:43:27,359 Yep, yep, that is bad. 836 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,079 But our plan, just a couple steps so we can probably remember it. 837 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,279 That's good. 838 00:43:36,319 --> 00:43:37,920 He hands you four potions 839 00:43:40,559 --> 00:43:50,239 and as he does so, the cult's forces strike into the shield that has been put up 840 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,560 and you see it beginning to waver. 841 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,600 Well, we ready to party? 842 00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:00,720 Always. 843 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Well, bottoms up, I guess. 844 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,720 Cheers. 845 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:05,680 Cheers. 846 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,480 What does it taste like? 847 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,880 Cream soda. 848 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,680 Oh, see, I was picturing like that chalky penicillin kind of thing. 849 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:16,640 I don't know why. 850 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,000 Oh gosh, I hope not. 851 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,039 That's what I pictured. 852 00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:20,559 It's not actually penicillin. 853 00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:22,559 Don't worry, you're safe. 854 00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:23,599 Amy would die. 855 00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:25,920 Whatever you imagine is what it tastes like. 856 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,360 Oh, I wish I imagined something I liked the taste of better. 857 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,440 No, you got penicillin. 858 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,559 I imagined water. 859 00:44:32,559 --> 00:44:37,039 I was like, it's a tasteless substance because I'm going to be like clear, like invisible. 860 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,920 Like water is invisible. 861 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,880 Nobody can see it. 862 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:41,920 No one ever can see it. 863 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,039 It's the weirdest thing. 864 00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:44,239 It was, it made sense. 865 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,280 Yeah. 866 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,480 As you take the potion and look at it, it looks vaguely familiar 867 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,640 and it doesn't look like there's liquid actually in it, 868 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,880 but the weight of it feels like there is liquid. 869 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,240 Oh, we have some of these. 870 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,040 Well, that was hidden talents, though. 871 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,200 Was the empty one. 872 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,760 Am I going to start break dancing? 873 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,040 Because that's my hidden talent. 874 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,180 Maybe. 875 00:45:08,179 --> 00:45:19,779 As you finish the potions, Leosun looks at you and as you begin to disappear, he says, good luck. 876 00:45:21,379 --> 00:45:28,500 And the leaders of all the factions bow or salute, depending on their customs, 877 00:45:29,139 --> 00:45:32,899 and they go to their posts and to their forces. 878 00:45:32,899 --> 00:45:33,460 I have a question. 879 00:45:33,460 --> 00:45:34,739 That's the word I was looking for. 880 00:45:34,739 --> 00:45:36,899 Can invisible people see other invisible people? 881 00:45:37,460 --> 00:45:39,460 Are we all just running as if I'm alone? 882 00:45:39,460 --> 00:45:39,940 No. 883 00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:42,180 Yeah, that's a good question. 884 00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:44,019 Oh, that's a really good question. 885 00:45:44,019 --> 00:45:44,579 Nobody knows. 886 00:45:44,579 --> 00:45:44,980 One of us falls in a hole. 887 00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:47,940 Or we have to give away constantly just weird positions because we're like, 888 00:45:47,940 --> 00:45:49,300 guys, I'm over here. 889 00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:50,500 I'm by the big tree. 890 00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:51,539 I'm by the big rock. 891 00:45:52,340 --> 00:45:53,300 Totally. 892 00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:57,220 Okay, so we can see one another because we all took the same badge. 893 00:45:58,980 --> 00:45:59,619 It's magic. 894 00:45:59,619 --> 00:46:00,260 It works. 895 00:46:00,260 --> 00:46:01,860 You are now invisible. 896 00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:02,260 Okay. 897 00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:03,940 Did we belay down off the airship? 898 00:46:03,940 --> 00:46:05,700 Because that's totally what I pictured like. 899 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:06,420 Yeah, 100%. 900 00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:07,700 One handed. 901 00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:08,500 Down. 902 00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:09,460 It looked so rad. 903 00:46:09,460 --> 00:46:10,099 I mean, it didn't. 904 00:46:10,099 --> 00:46:10,980 It looked like nothing. 905 00:46:10,980 --> 00:46:11,619 Oh, that's true. 906 00:46:11,619 --> 00:46:11,780 Yeah. 907 00:46:11,780 --> 00:46:13,380 We all thought we all looked cool. 908 00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:15,619 But like the ropes were gently swaying in the wind. 909 00:46:15,619 --> 00:46:16,980 Nobody saw our awesome exit. 910 00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:17,539 Exactly. 911 00:46:17,539 --> 00:46:18,820 He's like, oh, okay, they're gone. 912 00:46:18,820 --> 00:46:19,940 Actually, guys, we're still here. 913 00:46:21,059 --> 00:46:21,860 Leave. 914 00:46:21,860 --> 00:46:22,740 You have shit to do. 915 00:46:23,380 --> 00:46:23,700 Right. 916 00:46:24,820 --> 00:46:29,139 Yes, you belay down as the shield lets free 917 00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:35,059 and the ground forces collide with devils. 918 00:46:36,579 --> 00:46:42,099 Who were at the front of the line into the undead army of the red wizards. 919 00:46:43,380 --> 00:46:47,300 You land in the middle of this. 920 00:46:48,340 --> 00:46:52,500 You begin nimbly moving through the forces around you. 921 00:46:52,500 --> 00:47:02,260 You duck underneath giants throwing huge hammers and axes towards the allied forces. 922 00:47:03,140 --> 00:47:06,660 Up in the air, you see metallic dragons and chromatic dragons 923 00:47:07,460 --> 00:47:12,100 coming head to head and tearing each other wing to wing. 924 00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:18,420 The airships begin being attacked by flame breaths from far away 925 00:47:19,460 --> 00:47:22,100 and quickly they begin to fall. 926 00:47:25,620 --> 00:47:28,740 You make it through and you are surrounded 927 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:34,340 by giants and mercenaries all rushing forward 928 00:47:34,820 --> 00:47:40,900 as the mass of soldiers focuses on this center point. 929 00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:46,500 The dwarven artillery begin firing, knocking giants out in front of you. 930 00:47:47,460 --> 00:47:49,860 Three of you make a dexterity saving throw. 931 00:47:49,860 --> 00:47:58,180 Nineteen. 932 00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:01,300 Oh, that was without any bonuses. 933 00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:01,780 Twenty-one. 934 00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:02,260 Twenty. 935 00:48:03,780 --> 00:48:04,660 Not yet. 936 00:48:04,660 --> 00:48:05,220 Sixteen. 937 00:48:06,740 --> 00:48:12,180 A giant falls directly in front of you and you nimbly leap up and over top of it. 938 00:48:12,180 --> 00:48:13,700 Guys, we're so fucking nimble. 939 00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:14,900 We're so goddamn nimble. 940 00:48:16,260 --> 00:48:19,220 To your left in a heaped mess 941 00:48:19,940 --> 00:48:28,099 a blue dragon falls to the ground with a bronze dragon on top of it, tearing it apart. 942 00:48:29,620 --> 00:48:33,860 As the mercenaries begin climbing on top of that same bronze dragon 943 00:48:33,860 --> 00:48:36,900 and stabbing it, piercing it with their lances. 944 00:48:38,340 --> 00:48:43,140 High atop a mountain's ridge you see the exiled red wizards 945 00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:48,180 hurling black and red magics down at the arcane brotherhood 946 00:48:48,179 --> 00:48:52,259 and the rival red wizards that's colliding in the air. 947 00:48:52,259 --> 00:48:58,739 And this energy, this necromantic energy, meaning this healing energy is coming together 948 00:48:58,739 --> 00:49:04,980 and creating explosions in the air that rain down top everybody you are passing. 949 00:49:07,619 --> 00:49:13,219 You make it to the mountainside, the war raging on behind you 950 00:49:14,020 --> 00:49:18,340 and you come between the north and the western edge. 951 00:49:19,140 --> 00:49:24,020 Before we go up there, do we turn around like heroes do to look down at all the fighting 952 00:49:24,020 --> 00:49:29,140 and where we really feel like what we're doing is so important 953 00:49:29,140 --> 00:49:31,700 and this is where the gravity of it really sets in 954 00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:37,300 as we see our kin and our fellow man and beast fighting 955 00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:39,620 all on the same side against the forces of evil. 956 00:49:40,179 --> 00:49:41,380 Yeah. 957 00:49:43,380 --> 00:49:44,579 Yeah, yeah you do. 958 00:49:44,579 --> 00:49:48,739 I think they really needed that moment to really serious up. 959 00:49:50,659 --> 00:49:59,059 You have a choice of a very northern entrance, a western entrance 960 00:49:59,059 --> 00:50:03,460 or scouting around the mountain to go find something else. 961 00:50:03,460 --> 00:50:05,460 Well, that third option sounds terrible. 962 00:50:05,460 --> 00:50:06,420 Yeah, no, let's not. 963 00:50:06,420 --> 00:50:07,859 It doesn't sound like a good option. 964 00:50:07,860 --> 00:50:10,900 We know where two entrances are already. 965 00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:12,500 I don't want to go looking for another one. 966 00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:14,260 So guys, what do you think? 967 00:50:14,260 --> 00:50:14,740 A or B? 968 00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:21,860 Should we Iny, Moony, Miny, Mosey this thing? 969 00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:24,019 Yes, please do it aloud. 970 00:50:24,019 --> 00:50:25,539 That's exactly what we should do. 971 00:50:26,180 --> 00:50:28,019 And when I say we, I mean you. 972 00:50:28,019 --> 00:50:32,420 Okay, Iny, Moony, Miny, Mosey, catch a tiger by its toesy. 973 00:50:33,220 --> 00:50:39,780 If you let him gozy, Iny, Moony, Miny, Mosey, we go north. 974 00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:42,019 So says my childhood. 975 00:50:44,420 --> 00:50:45,059 I loved it. 976 00:50:45,059 --> 00:50:45,940 It was a delight. 977 00:50:45,940 --> 00:50:51,780 Screams of soldiers ring out in the air as you Iny, Moony, Miny, Mosey. 978 00:50:53,619 --> 00:50:55,700 I think I was fairly consistent too. 979 00:50:55,700 --> 00:50:57,380 I know you nailed it. 980 00:50:57,380 --> 00:50:58,579 You totally nailed it. 981 00:50:59,460 --> 00:51:01,380 Russ is right to point out the 982 00:51:02,740 --> 00:51:05,940 weird inappropriateness of us doing it that way. 983 00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:07,780 My inner child was coming out at this moment. 984 00:51:07,780 --> 00:51:11,860 I was just striving for the innocence in a moment of just horror. 985 00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:21,860 Your inner child is quickly quelled as you turn and see the devastation behind you 986 00:51:21,860 --> 00:51:29,700 as the give and take of the allied forces and the cult's forces are at an extreme. 987 00:51:29,860 --> 00:51:34,820 You come to the northernmost point in which you can find an entrance 988 00:51:34,820 --> 00:51:42,020 and you enter one of the tunnels leading into the well of dragons. 989 00:51:43,620 --> 00:51:53,540 It's dark, it's musty, and you hear voices coming from down the halls up ahead of you. 990 00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:20,100 Some of the music in today's episode is by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io 991 00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,540 and Scott Buckley at scottbuckley.com.au. 992 00:52:23,539 --> 00:52:28,179 Dumbgeons and Dragons is a dumb dragons production.
