1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,399
previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:05,200
I'm, I feel anxious to get going.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,359
I take the bird in my hands, close my eyes like I did when we were praying.

4
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,200
The warmth begins to come back.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,160
You open your hands and you look down at the bird

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:25,039
and it begins flapping its wings, slow at first and then quicker, and it takes flight.

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:28,960
I pack up, you know, I throw my pack back on my shoulders and pick up my stuff and I'm

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,240
I'm ready.

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,519
Seem like a good kid.

10
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:32,799
I want to do you a favor.

11
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,560
I'm going to need something in return.

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,160
But I need to know that you can use these tools that are laid out here

13
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,359
as you say they are your possessions.

14
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:44,079
I'm verily proficient in the tools you seek.

15
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,960
There is a certain higher up who carries a ledger.

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,159
Hey listen, you want out of here?

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,719
No.

18
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:51,439
What's your mission?

19
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,320
I steal something from Dinglehopper Never Never.

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,760
Lord Dagglet Never Ember.

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,040
That's what I said.

22
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:00,079
I'm looking for Mr. Gabriel.

23
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,159
I'm sure you're of the highest character.

24
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:05,519
If you were to find him, perhaps the Fallen Tower.

25
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,760
I'm too drunk to teach you right now.

26
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,079
Can I find you somewhere tomorrow?

27
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:11,200
I'll probably be here.

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,700
Okay.

29
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,719
Maybe come by a little earlier in the day.

30
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:17,519
I've never seen anything like you before.

31
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:18,799
I'm a dragonborn.

32
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:19,599
My name's Glim.

33
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,799
It's very nice to meet you Glim.

34
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:24,000
I'm Moot.

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,960
Nice to meet you, Moot.

36
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

37
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,720
We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast.

38
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,320
And I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

39
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,480
And with me today is Carla Johnson.

40
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,680
That is me.

41
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,040
I play Norixious Akra, better known as Glim.

42
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,400
And Tom Laird.

43
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,520
Hey, that's me.

44
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,720
I play Moot.

45
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,240
He's a half-orc wild magic sorcerer.

46
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,000
And Amy More.

47
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Indeed I am.

48
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,800
I play Sullivan Slyte or Sully, a lightfoot halfling rogue.

49
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
How's everybody doing?

50
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Great.

51
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,200
I'm a dragonborn pAlydin.

52
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,400
I didn't say that.

53
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:00,880
You didn't.

54
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,400
You have to say it because it's all new.

55
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:02,800
It's new.

56
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,680
I have to say it.

57
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,760
New things.

58
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,880
New things are happening.

We'd really love to see you.

70
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Let's just jump right in.

71
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,879
Fuck it.

72
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:37,760
Let's play D&D.

73
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Previously, Glim, you have made it to Neverwinter.

74
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,800
And you just met an interesting half-orc who just ran the other direction.

75
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,400
So now it's night-time-ish, early night-time dusk.

76
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,080
What you doing?

77
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:07,200
I think I will probably grab a snack and then like wander.

78
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Just to like, like Glim hasn't been anywhere, right?

79
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,400
She's so sheltered.

80
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,880
So just to, yeah, like check out this new city.

81
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Sure.

82
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:25,040
So you've come into kind of the northeastern entry to Neverwinter.

83
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,040
There is a large outcropping where caravans can kind of pull in,

84
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,080
offload everything that they need to and then ride back out.

85
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,160
In the vicinity, you see a few different shops, most of which are closed at this point.

86
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,960
There's a bustle of noise going on down the street

87
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,120
in the direction that the half-orc ran.

88
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,840
There is a dimly lit information center.

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,159
Which calls to you?

90
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:53,120
It does.

91
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960
For some reason that calls to me.

92
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,400
But I need my snack first.

93
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,039
As far as people kind of in the street,

94
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,319
there are mostly the people that you were on the caravan with.

95
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,000
But yeah, that's what you see.

96
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,439
Dude, you need your snack first.

97
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,200
I thought you'd have like literally a baggie of like, I don't know, granola.

98
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Oh, I'm sure I do.

99
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,920
I'm sure I have snacks.

100
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,879
Trail mix.

101
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,519
Totally.

102
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:18,159
No, no, that's like so on brand for Glim.

103
00:04:18,159 --> 00:04:20,480
You pull out a snack pack, like that's how.

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,279
No, what is something like granola?

105
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,639
Like that's like some gorp.

106
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:25,600
Like that seems right.

107
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,040
Maybe I'll ask my good friend from the caravan.

108
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,240
I want to ask them where I should go get some food.

109
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,000
She's kind of busy offloading some of her stuff from one of the caravans.

110
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,199
Ain't a lull?

111
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:40,399
Yes.

112
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:41,600
You've been here before, right?

113
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,199
A few times, yeah.

114
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Where would I go to find some sort of delicacy on a budget from a street vendor?

115
00:04:54,719 --> 00:04:56,879
A delicacy on a budget from a street vendor.

116
00:04:58,159 --> 00:05:03,360
Well, I mean, if you walk down, you hear the noise going on down off to the east there?

117
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,860
I do.

118
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,959
So if you keep going down that way, you'll eventually run into the Fallen Tower,

119
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:13,599
which is a very well-known tavern in the area.

120
00:05:13,599 --> 00:05:22,000
They've got some pretty good food and a little bit of a shady clientele from time to time.

121
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:26,879
But also on the way, I mean, sometimes there are street vendors kind of just milling about

122
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:33,039
getting that sweet drunk coin, you know, how they do outside of taverns.

123
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:35,039
Awesome.

124
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:36,000
Thank you so much.

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,639
It was so great to travel with you.

126
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,240
I love you very much.

127
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,319
And I can't wait until I see you again.

128
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,240
That love word again.

129
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:46,000
Every time.

130
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,039
It just really gets me.

131
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:50,000
I am fond of you as well.

132
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,159
Glam, it's a pleasure riding with you.

133
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:54,399
I hope to see you again soon.

134
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:55,039
See you soon.

135
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,519
God, I love it.

136
00:05:58,319 --> 00:05:58,879
She's a delight.

137
00:05:58,879 --> 00:05:59,519
I love you.

138
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:02,079
I love you very much.

139
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:02,719
I love you very much.

140
00:06:02,719 --> 00:06:06,479
She just has had, like, that's her whole life has been that, right?

141
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:14,160
Um, so she is going to go towards the fallen tower because shady character sounds pretty fun.

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,400
The thing that I think is fun about Glam is like, she's very big and strong.

143
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,000
So she's very innocent, but not like helpless, fearful and not helpless.

144
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Exactly.

145
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,960
So so why not?

146
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:28,000
Sure.

147
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Why not?

148
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,720
There are varying degrees of inebriated people.

149
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,640
I don't know how much drinking went on in your your village.

150
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960
I think it would have been a thing, probably.

151
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:39,840
Yeah.

152
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:40,160
Okay.

153
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Well, there are some people who are pretty far in as far as that goes.

154
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Coming from the direction that you are walking.

155
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Specifically, there's a human and a dwarf bustling about telling stories as they kind of

156
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,280
come up to and walk past you.

157
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:06,720
And you continue on down the way and you make it to a pretty well lit for what you've seen so far.

158
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Most of the stores have all their lights are are snuffed and you make it to a literal fallen tower.

159
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,760
It looks like it's been broken or sheared off and it's fallen into the street.

160
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,120
There's a loud jovial goings on inside.

161
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Great.

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Okay.

163
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,000
I'm going to go in there.

164
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Is there a performer or anything?

165
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,639
It does sound like there's a bar playing.

166
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:34,959
Yep.

167
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:41,120
As you as you get closer to go in and like go up to the bar and order probably like a pint of beer.

168
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,680
No, I think like Glenn would drink.

169
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,159
I think like she's not a child and it's like again big and strong.

170
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,480
So probably has like a very good tolerance for alcohol because she's like big.

171
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Yeah.

172
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,360
So you walk in and it's as far as like the outside goes is it looks like a destroyed tower inside.

173
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,640
It looks very well kept all things considered.

174
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,080
There's warm woods.

175
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,360
Most of the tables are pretty much full.

176
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,640
Some of them have a couple people passed out on them.

177
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,000
Others look like they're kind of finishing up their drinks and moving out.

178
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,399
Given the later hour.

179
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,000
May you walk up to the bar.

180
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,200
There is a dwarven woman behind the bar and she's busy serving some people who are

181
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,159
more or less taking up most of her attention.

182
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,679
But she kind of catches you out of the corner of her eye.

183
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,120
Walk up and she kind of hushes them for a little while.

184
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,559
Slams a couple of tankards down in front of them and walks over to you and says,

185
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,320
What can I do for you there miss?

186
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,920
Hi, could I get a pint of your finest ale?

187
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,160
And can I still get something to eat?

188
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,879
Is it too late?

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Yeah, no, well, I mean, it's getting a little bit late,

190
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,920
but we can certainly give you some food here.

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,879
Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

192
00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:07,360
Let me get you that that that ale here.

193
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920
And you didn't even try for a woman's voice, do you?

194
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Just a dwarven woman's very mouthful.

195
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Dwarven woman.

196
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Very, very deep.

197
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,560
Yeah, well, all types.

198
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,920
She's a very sexy voice.

199
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,639
All types.

200
00:09:19,199 --> 00:09:20,240
And she comes back and she's like,

201
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,799
Well, the menu's been pretty picked clean.

202
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,319
We've still got some of the special tonight.

203
00:09:24,319 --> 00:09:27,360
It's roasted tarantula with hairs carefully singed off

204
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,360
and their fangs used for toothpicks later.

205
00:09:32,479 --> 00:09:33,439
Tarantula.

206
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:35,759
There's a lovely sauce that goes with it too.

207
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:39,759
No, I mean, tarantula is my number two favorite spider to eat.

208
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:41,039
So perfect.

209
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:42,480
What's your number one?

210
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,799
You know that big one that like eats birds?

211
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:47,360
It's like really big, so it's like quite meaty

212
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,600
because, you know, I've got a big appetite.

213
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,840
I haven't eaten any of those.

214
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,960
They're like didn't even know there were spider eating birds.

215
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,680
They're enormous.

216
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:57,039
Wow, you must have traveled.

217
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,919
You must have traveled all over the place to see spiders like that.

218
00:09:59,919 --> 00:10:01,680
Oh, I haven't been anywhere.

219
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,039
Those are local to where I'm from.

220
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,639
That's terrifying.

221
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:09,519
I like you, though.

222
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:10,159
I like you.

223
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:12,399
I'm going to go get you some tarantulas.

224
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,279
Extra sauce because I feel like it.

225
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,159
Hey, thanks.

226
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:17,439
I like you too.

227
00:10:17,439 --> 00:10:19,919
She puts down the ale in front of you there.

228
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:21,439
Perfect.

229
00:10:21,439 --> 00:10:22,879
She goes off into the back.

230
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,039
I'm going to like scan around, see who I see.

231
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:29,839
Who was it was like a group of people

232
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:32,319
that she was dealing with before that are also sitting at the bar?

233
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:33,519
Yes.

234
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,519
Yeah, there looks to be two human males,

235
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,360
a female half-elf and a dwarven male.

236
00:10:42,079 --> 00:10:44,720
And they're kind of they've turned into themselves,

237
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,759
or not turned into themselves,

238
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,279
but like turned and are talking to themselves loudly.

239
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:54,080
Some of them are talking about joining the mercenary force

240
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,120
to go off and fight against the cult of the dragon.

241
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,519
Oh, yeah, I'm definitely going to want to talk to them.

242
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,600
So I'll approach with my pint in my hand and say,

243
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,120
excuse me.

244
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,440
One of the males turns and says,

245
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,159
what can I do for their dragon friend?

246
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,159
Hi, I'm Glim.

247
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:21,759
I'm so sorry to interrupt.

248
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:23,519
I couldn't help but overhear

249
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,879
that you're talking about fighting the cult of the dragon.

250
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,399
Yeah, well, I mean, they're terrible.

251
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,639
Well, so I just left my home to maybe help

252
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,480
that fight I just got here.

253
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,840
And I thought, these seem like experts.

254
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,279
Maybe they can tell me the best way to help fight

255
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,240
and the main sources of conflict

256
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,759
and who the major players are

257
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:52,480
and all the socio geopolitical situations

258
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,279
that are happening here.

259
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,720
Can you guys fill me in on that?

260
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,279
They kind of look to each other and they start to laugh.

261
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,879
I'm having trouble taking you seriously there, my dear.

262
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,440
So what you're saying is

263
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,879
you have no idea what's happening?

264
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,159
Well, I wouldn't say no idea.

265
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:17,279
A bard did come to my village and tell us that,

266
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,159
you know, this cult of the dragon's trying to rise Tiamat

267
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:23,360
and obviously I don't want that.

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,720
I follow Bahamut, so that's, you know.

269
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Oh, Bahamut, a dragon god.

270
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,360
But the very best believer in truth

271
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,159
and justice and peace, dragon god.

272
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:37,840
Yes, yeah, absolutely.

273
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,759
You know what you can probably do is

274
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:43,440
we need lots of people.

275
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:43,840
You know what?

276
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,720
I'm a recruiter.

277
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,560
I could get you right into the battle

278
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,840
if that's what you're looking for.

279
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:53,920
Where's the battle happening?

280
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,440
I've only just arrived in town.

281
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,920
Would I have to ship out tonight or?

282
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Well, not tonight.

283
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,560
We're leaving in a couple of days.

284
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,039
We're actually probably leaving tomorrow morning

285
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:08,320
and heading down south.

286
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Down to the Well of Dragons

287
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,480
where the cult has their little setup going on down there.

288
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Oh, so the main headquarters, that's where.

289
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,160
Yeah, we're getting all the people

290
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,640
who want to just fight and do good.

291
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,440
And you sound like you want to do that.

292
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760
You must be very high ranking.

293
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Pretty, pretty high ranking

294
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,920
and he gets an elbow into the side.

295
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
I mean, I know some people.

296
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,240
Okay, and what are your names?

297
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,600
My name's Lop, Lop Kim.

298
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,280
And this is my friend, Ken Rat.

299
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Is this the two humans?

300
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,360
Microphone.

301
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,680
Those are the two humans.

302
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,600
My dwarven friend here is Eugenie.

303
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,440
And your elven friend is Gene Genie.

304
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,600
Her name is Uchu.

305
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,279
And they all kind of tip their head to you

306
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:12,080
as a couple of them turn back to their drinks

307
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,080
and just allow Lop to continue talking to you.

308
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,879
And so how long have you been fighting

309
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:22,080
the cult of the dragon?

310
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,920
Ever since basically day one.

311
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:30,399
No hands for hire here.

312
00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:32,960
We've been with the forces

313
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,639
since they've been starting to make their way

314
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,120
into little towns and villages.

315
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,600
See, I'm a little bit confused

316
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,960
because what I did over here,

317
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,559
I was eavesdropping, I apologize,

318
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:46,159
but it sounded like you were just thinking

319
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:47,439
about maybe joining up.

320
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:51,439
So I feel like one of these stories

321
00:14:51,439 --> 00:14:53,600
isn't maybe quite the truth.

322
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:56,639
So you're eavesdropper.

323
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:57,840
So you're pulling my leg.

324
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,720
That's what you're saying.

325
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:01,679
I like her.

326
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:02,720
You're funny.

327
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,600
You guys are funny.

328
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,320
That's funny.

329
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,440
So you're not fighting yet then?

330
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,320
No, but I mean, I do know people

331
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,600
who could probably sign you up

332
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,120
if that's what you're interested in.

333
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,200
And the bartender comes back with your plate

334
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,000
and she says, oh, here,

335
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,080
I'll just bring it down here to your drink.

336
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,040
You might want to eat up.

337
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:23,040
Thank you so much.

338
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Hey guys, if you, I love a laugh.

339
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,639
So I'll be back after I eat my dinner.

340
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:30,480
You can tell me some more stories maybe.

341
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Oh, so many, so many stories.

342
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,920
I'm going to have to think of them.

343
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,800
You can't believe it.

344
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,360
And I walk away kind of laughing.

345
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,680
I got a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

346
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800
We would pull pranks where I was from too

347
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,320
on new people passing through.

348
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,800
It's fine.

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,040
And then I'm going to just like dig

350
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,360
into that delicious tarantula dish

351
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,560
that I'm eating apparently.

352
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,040
Well, at least, you know,

353
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,800
the hair has been removed.

354
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Carefully singed off.

355
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,240
The fangs have been placed

356
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,000
like toothpicks on the side of the plate.

357
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Delicious.

358
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,159
Probably say that you kind of spend

359
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,399
some more of your evening there.

360
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,080
Do you go and find lodging somewhere else

361
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,919
or do you try and find something there?

362
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:12,879
If there's rooms there,

363
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:14,080
I probably would just stay there.

364
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,679
Like I really like the bartender.

365
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:16,799
She is really great.

366
00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:20,080
And I mean, you know, I'm happy wherever

367
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,200
I ate that delicious meal.

368
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,480
So if I can find a room there,

369
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,200
I'll just stay there.

370
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,159
Sounds good.

371
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:25,919
We'll say you get a room there

372
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,720
and we'll cut to the next morning.

373
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Sully, you are.

374
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,519
You just kind of wake up

375
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:39,120
with the sunlight coming

376
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,080
through your bars.

377
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,279
You hear a bird song outside

378
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,560
and you hear your good friend

379
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Merv down the way,

380
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,279
kind of coughing and stirring

381
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:50,320
as he usually does

382
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,279
waking when he wakes up.

383
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,200
Hi, you're sounding old today, buddy.

384
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Well, I mean, I kind of am old.

385
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:02,080
It's worse in the morning.

386
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:04,640
Well, you know, you lay down,

387
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,160
everything settles.

388
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,759
Yeah, everything kind of settles

389
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:09,599
and everything's got to work itself back out.

390
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,200
Work on the sea.

391
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,480
You know, there's a lot of things

392
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,359
that get in there.

393
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,480
What?

394
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,640
Sea science.

395
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,920
That doesn't sound like real science.

396
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,960
Are you ready, buddy?

397
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,759
Are you ready?

398
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:22,640
Today's the day.

399
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,599
What are we doing today?

400
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,160
Well, today we go in

401
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,880
and I get real close to the bars

402
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,040
and I go, we're going to steal

403
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Lord Never Ember's ledger.

404
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,840
Yeah, that sounds like a terrible idea.

405
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,960
You sure you want to do this?

406
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Well, OK, I guess you could stay here.

407
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,440
No, I mean, I'm going to come

408
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,200
because, you know,

409
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,160
if we get out of here.

410
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,240
But I mean, it still sounds like a terrible.

411
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Do you know who Lord Never Ember is?

412
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,680
A Lord?

413
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Like the Lord of Neverwinter.

414
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,640
OK, cool.

415
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Oh, my God.

416
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:57,839
Do you think he has more than one ledger?

417
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,200
I mean, did you not get a description of the ledger?

418
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,599
Yeah, I'm sure I did at some point.

419
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,599
I have total faith that this plan is going to work.

420
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:10,960
I love that the biggest concern

421
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,960
is that there might be more than one ledger.

422
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:16,720
I'm just going to walk into a vast, like, ledger room.

423
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,079
It's just like wall to wall, Florida ceiling, ledger.

424
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:22,240
It's like a ledger Rolodex.

425
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,319
Like, oh, shit, I don't even know.

426
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,439
I can't wait for this.

427
00:18:25,439 --> 00:18:27,519
Hopefully, they give us a bag of holding or something

428
00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:29,599
for all the ledgers we're going to find up in here.

429
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:32,480
Yeah, well, I was lucky to get some of the items

430
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,879
that I did manage to not leave with her, so that's fine.

431
00:18:36,879 --> 00:18:37,919
That's good.

432
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:38,720
It's fine.

433
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,319
So, yeah, you sound ready.

434
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:42,079
Totally ready, totally ready.

435
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:42,799
Let's do this.

436
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:44,159
Door opens to the jails.

437
00:18:44,159 --> 00:18:46,159
As soon as I say, let's do this.

438
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:49,439
And one of the guards walks in with the tray of bread.

439
00:18:49,439 --> 00:18:51,439
I'm like, OK, I'm going to do this.

440
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,640
And one of the guards walks in with the tray of breakfast.

441
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:56,160
More slop.

442
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Slides it under Merv's, and then slides it down to yours,

443
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,120
and then turns to Leif.

444
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,200
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

445
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,700
What?

446
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:06,640
Are we getting out?

447
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,080
Why would you get out?

448
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,799
You're prisoners.

449
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,920
Well, we've got a secret mission.

450
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Yeah, that's what all prisoners say.

451
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Do they really?

452
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Yeah.

453
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,920
They all say they have a secret mission?

454
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,480
All of them.

455
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240
They say they're here on a secret mission,

456
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,759
and they've been wrongfully accused,

457
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:24,240
and they shouldn't be hanged or have their head chopped off.

458
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,960
Yeah, I bet anyone in that situation would say that.

459
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,000
But no, I just had a meeting with Miss Fuck.

460
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,920
I've never met Miss Fuck.

461
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,319
Well, then you're missing out, my friend.

462
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,680
Sounds like it.

463
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:40,079
Miss Mam Meow Meow.

464
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,359
Miss Madame Meow Meow.

465
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,160
I have mam down here.

466
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,160
Miss Mam Meow Meow.

467
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,759
All right, Miss Mam Meow Meow Meow.

468
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,599
Wait, hold on.

469
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,560
Are there three meows?

470
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,180
Meow?

471
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Say that again, meow.

472
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,400
Like meow?

473
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,320
So, wait.

474
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,080
Are you super drooping?

475
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,440
Eat your slap right meow,

476
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,080
and then I'll come back with Miss Madame Meow Meow and meow.

477
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Miss Mam Meow Meow is not going to come down here and talk to me,

478
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,080
but I just went up there and talked to her,

479
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,600
and I'm not going to tell you the secret plan.

480
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,880
You look like a lackey.

481
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,480
You got me right.

482
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,880
Cool, but like, could you just tell her?

483
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,240
Yeah, I'll go tell her.

484
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:24,720
Okay, thanks.

485
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,480
Yeah, I got her direct line right here.

486
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,000
He walks out and he flips the bird as he walks.

487
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,720
I flip him back.

488
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,920
Both of them, my teeny tiny fingers through the bars.

489
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,160
As the door shuts, Merv says, are you sure?

490
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,120
No.

491
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,400
There's a secret mission?

492
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:40,900
Yes.

493
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,920
I didn't just make up that whole conversation.

494
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,520
I didn't just make up that whole conversation.

495
00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:51,119
Make a persuasion shit.

496
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,839
Oh my god.

497
00:20:54,639 --> 00:20:55,839
All right, all right.

498
00:20:56,879 --> 00:20:58,879
Well, hopefully they come for us soon

499
00:20:58,879 --> 00:21:00,720
because we're getting out on our own here.

500
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,279
Well, you know what?

501
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:02,240
We're just fueling up.

502
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
They just want us to fuel up before we go.

503
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:04,960
That's all that is.

504
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,599
He picks up his slop tray and sits back down

505
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:09,200
and starts eating away at it.

506
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,240
I kind of push mine around a little bit.

507
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:12,960
I'm picky.

508
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:17,920
Where are you?

509
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,759
You're probably waking up at this point.

510
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,400
Sure, back at Nogwoods.

511
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Yeah, so you went back to Nogwoods.

512
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,039
You ran back after meeting this dragonborn

513
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:28,880
who helped you up in the street.

514
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,000
So you're waking up.

515
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,960
You had made it back.

516
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,840
There was a key and a note left on the main door

517
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,039
or main kind of desk at the entrance way there

518
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,560
because everybody had gone to sleep by that point

519
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,640
with some directions to your dorm.

520
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,759
You had made it safe and sound

521
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:49,519
and now you're waking up the next morning.

522
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,599
Lovely bird song and lights coming in

523
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:55,759
through the shade.

524
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,480
What time of the morning is it?

525
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:00,640
How late does Moot sleep?

526
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,160
I guess should be the better question.

527
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,599
Well, he's still a youngster

528
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:05,680
so he takes as much opportunity

529
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,119
to get all the sleep that he can.

530
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,000
So I'll say until, yeah, 1030?

531
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,079
Sure, knowing your appointment

532
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:13,599
isn't until the lunch hour.

533
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,559
You sleep the better part of the morning away

534
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:17,839
and are waking up.

535
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,440
Sun's a little higher in the sky

536
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,639
than had previously mentioned.

537
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:22,000
Maybe you woke up a little bit

538
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,440
and you just close your eyes again

539
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,639
and then woke up at 1030.

540
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,559
I'm going to put on the best clothes that I brought

541
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:30,480
because it's the first day of school.

542
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,279
Got to look sharp.

543
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:35,279
And I'm going to head back over.

544
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,879
I'm assuming Gabriel's back at the inn again

545
00:22:38,879 --> 00:22:40,720
or am I eating him somewhere else?

546
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,240
I think he told you to meet him there

547
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,799
at the Fallen Tower.

548
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:47,359
Okay, yeah.

549
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,559
So one final spot check in the mirror before I go

550
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,519
and I make my way back to the Fallen Tower.

551
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,720
You make your way back down

552
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,559
and you pass by Shilso who calls to you

553
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,000
and says, you found everything okay?

554
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:04,240
Everything was great.

555
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,720
The note and the key, it was all perfect.

556
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,359
Ah, good.

557
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:07,920
Yes, yes.

558
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Well, good.

559
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,039
Well, you're off for your day then?

560
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,200
Are you going to go do what people

561
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,879
who don't go to this school but stay here do?

562
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,519
Yeah, I'm going to go talk to this Gabriel guy

563
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:23,759
and see if he can teach me a thing or two.

564
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:24,960
And I had a question.

565
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,920
Is there like a laundry service here at the school as well?

566
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,920
Because I mean, I only brought a couple of outfits

567
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,559
and one is pretty dirty after some travel.

568
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:34,240
So I wonder if I can maybe get it cleaned.

569
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,279
Yep, we could probably do that for you.

570
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,039
You're staying here.

571
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:43,359
We can just, if you just, you know, here's a bag.

572
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:45,920
Just leave it outside your door.

573
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,639
It'll be cleaned up for you by the time you get back.

574
00:23:48,639 --> 00:23:49,519
Oh, oh, perfect.

575
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:50,240
That's awesome.

576
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,680
So I run back to my room and throw those clothes in a bag.

577
00:23:56,399 --> 00:23:59,920
You head back out and down and out to the Fallen Tower

578
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,319
unless you're stopping anywhere else on the way.

579
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,359
No, I figured I'd probably go right there nice and early.

580
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,960
You know, apt pupil, et cetera.

581
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,920
You make it there, I'd say you'd probably make it there

582
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,440
early-ish, like probably quarter two, 1130 quarter two.

583
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,559
That seem fair?

584
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:17,059
Sure.

585
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,360
You stroll in and there's a, it's a very thin crowd

586
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,120
compared to the scene that you walked into last night.

587
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,559
There's one bartender who's kind of cleaning up,

588
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,440
cleaning up the glasses and the tables

589
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,360
and just rearranging after a night of frivolity

590
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,160
that the city had underwent.

591
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,680
Is there the bartender that was working yesterday in there?

592
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,880
Is there a different one this time?

593
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,920
There is a different one.

594
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:49,840
Perfect.

595
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,120
I'll stroll over to the bar and I'll say,

596
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,559
Bartender, have you seen Gabriel?

597
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:57,680
Has he been in yet?

598
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,240
Gabriel, no.

599
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,480
He usually gets in later.

600
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:08,960
I'm supposed to meet him here at noon.

601
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:17,440
Okay, well, hopefully he's keeping his appointments today.

602
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:20,880
The way you said that makes it seem like maybe

603
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,320
that's not what happens every day.

604
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,759
Is that not what happens every day?

605
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,080
You don't know Gabriel very well, do you?

606
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,599
Uh, no, no.

607
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,439
Okay, well, sometimes he does.

608
00:25:31,439 --> 00:25:32,639
Sometimes he's really good.

609
00:25:32,639 --> 00:25:36,159
Sometimes he's punctual and sometimes he's not.

610
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,759
So, okay, so just, I'll get, I'll get what I get, I guess, huh?

611
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:42,799
That's what I'm getting at.

612
00:25:43,439 --> 00:25:44,720
Can I get you anything while you wait?

613
00:25:45,679 --> 00:25:50,000
Do you have any, like, decks of cards or anything

614
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,359
I can maybe borrow or kill some time before he shows up?

615
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,760
He kind of looks around.

616
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,920
I think we used to have something here.

617
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,880
He lifts up a bunch of stuff underneath one of the tables

618
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,320
or behind the bar and then pulls out a deck of cards

619
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,520
and tosses it across to you.

620
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,960
So yeah, there you go.

621
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,160
I'll just go.

622
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,120
Nothing to eat or drink?

623
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Yeah, do you have something like a lighter beer?

624
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,640
Something in that neighborhood?

625
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,960
It's a little early for me to start with the heavy stuff.

626
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,480
I mean, we got water.

627
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:24,560
I'll take one of those, sure.

628
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,240
What's the lightest beer you have?

629
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Water.

630
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,240
Some places do not look kindly on those who order just water.

631
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,120
That's fair.

632
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,480
You seem like a nice kid and you're going to be waiting on Gabriel a while.

633
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,080
I'm not going to steal your money.

634
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,200
I'll give you some water.

635
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,640
He slides a glass across the bar to you.

636
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,640
Perfect, yeah, thanks.

637
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,080
I'll just, I'll be over there.

638
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,440
If you see Gabriel, send him my way.

639
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,880
I'm sure you'll see him before anybody else does.

640
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Well, I'm just going to be looking at the door nonstop, so yes, probably.

641
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,160
If he sneaks in through the back way, there's no back way.

642
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,640
Just keep an eye out.

643
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,360
Perfect, will do.

644
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,840
He goes back to shining up the glasses there.

645
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,360
So you sit down at one of the tables

646
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:14,640
and you hear some footsteps coming down the stairs

647
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,799
and you see the dragonborn that you saw last night as Glim enters the room.

648
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Glim, what do you do?

649
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,880
I mean, I was just making the stupidest big smile

650
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,480
and that's probably, was actually, I, Carla, was doing it.

651
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,880
But really, it's probably what Glim would do too

652
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,320
because she would recognize him.

653
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,200
She'd be excited.

654
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:37,440
So I'm going to walk down the stairs and...

655
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:39,600
Tell him you love him.

656
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,519
Not yet.

657
00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:42,720
I barely know him.

658
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,680
I just really like him.

659
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,279
We did not ride on a caravan together for days on end.

660
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:46,880
I really like him quite a bit.

661
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,400
He was so clumsy.

662
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,960
What's falling down?

663
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,360
So yeah, I'm going to walk up and say,

664
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,360
good morning.

665
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:57,840
Oh, oh, it's you again.

666
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Hi.

667
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,039
It's you again.

668
00:27:59,039 --> 00:27:59,680
How are you?

669
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,680
I'm great.

670
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,759
I had a great night's sleep last night.

671
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:08,000
I'm excited for, I guess it's my first day of school to an extent.

672
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,559
Oh, that's an exciting day.

673
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,480
I can't remember if I gave you my name.

674
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,559
I'm Glim and I hold my hand out.

675
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,360
Yeah, yeah, Glim, it's Moot.

676
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,160
Moot, it is so great to see you again.

677
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,680
Where are you going to go to school?

678
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,120
What are you going to go to school for?

679
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,000
Tell me everything.

680
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,400
Okay, to answer the first question, I think it's here.

681
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,440
Is it like a bartending school?

682
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,640
No, no.

683
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Second question will cover that.

684
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,080
I'm trying to learn magic.

685
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:39,920
Oh.

686
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,840
There was a guy here last night that the school,

687
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,960
the Nogwood School of Wizcraft and Witchery

688
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,000
sent me over here to talk to this Gabriel fellow.

689
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
So I'm hoping he'll be able to help me out.

690
00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:53,440
What kind of magic?

691
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,319
I see you've got cards.

692
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:56,720
Are you going to do like card tricks?

693
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,600
Sleight of hand?

694
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,680
What kind of magic are you going to learn?

695
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,480
If only.

696
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,120
We had a magician, quote unquote,

697
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,279
that came to our village one time and he was really good with that stuff.

698
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:09,440
But he wouldn't tell me how any of them were done.

699
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,360
I love a magician.

700
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,120
I guess it's in their code or something that they don't want to tell you.

701
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,080
I asked so many questions and they wouldn't tell me any of the secrets.

702
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Yeah, it's the worst.

703
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,000
But no, so I don't think it's going to be that type of magic.

704
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:31,200
I seem to have what the lady at the school called was wild magic.

705
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,280
Oh, that sounds exciting and kind of dangerous.

706
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,240
Is it dangerous?

707
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,040
It was scary.

708
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Yeah, I can't really control it.

709
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,320
So I'm hoping that's what Gabriel can help me out with.

710
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:43,759
Wow.

711
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:44,240
You know what?

712
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,559
It sounds like we have a lot in common because I also have a very special gift.

713
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:49,679
Really?

714
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,879
I'm like, I mean, this sounds conceited,

715
00:29:54,879 --> 00:29:57,359
but I think I'm like maybe going to help save the world.

716
00:29:58,799 --> 00:29:59,599
I have a calling.

717
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:00,879
Wow.

718
00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:04,960
Yeah, I mean, no, I shot like this freezing ray out of my hands one time.

719
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,159
Yours is way cooler.

720
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:07,039
I don't know if it is.

721
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,200
A freezing ray sounds pretty cool.

722
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,439
But like saving the world, that's awesome.

723
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240
Well, I mean, if I'm going to be honest, and we're friends now,

724
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:21,279
so I feel like I can be honest, I don't exactly know how I'm going to do that.

725
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,960
Okay.

726
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,279
But I think that I can.

727
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:31,759
I'm looking for, hey, I'm looking for some people to help me.

728
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,640
And I...

729
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,960
To help you save the world?

730
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,680
This sounds kind of crazy, but I think you might be one of them.

731
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:42,720
What makes you say that?

732
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,440
I'm like, I don't even know how to do this magic stuff.

733
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,039
I just have a feeling.

734
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:49,759
I don't know.

735
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:50,559
I don't know, Moot.

736
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:52,080
I just have a feeling about you.

737
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:54,559
Okay, that's cool.

738
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:01,279
The door opens with a loud bang and then heavy footsteps and Moot,

739
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:07,039
you see Gabriel kind of, he's got a hat that's low on his face.

740
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Sunglasses are on.

741
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,400
Tucked into himself.

742
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,960
And he goes over and up to the bar and just holds up a finger

743
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,519
and the bartender slides him a drink as he kind of just sits there for a moment

744
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:22,160
while you're still conversing.

745
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Have I noticed Gabriel come in or am I...?

746
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,000
Yeah, I mean, I figure you've kind of got at least half an eye on the door

747
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
the whole time even while you're talking with Glim.

748
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,400
So yeah, you definitely see him.

749
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,880
I kind of excitedly tap Glim on the hand.

750
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,400
I say, oh, that's him.

751
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,040
That's Gabriel.

752
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,200
That's the guy who's going to teach me.

753
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,040
That guy.

754
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,480
Yeah, that's who the school told me to find.

755
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,600
Glim, you definitely see someone who is...

756
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:52,720
He looks pretty rough.

757
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,040
If not half in the bag, he's rough.

758
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320
He's probably still drunk and hungover at the same time.

759
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,240
Yeah, like I can probably smell him.

760
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,800
Oh, yeah, there's an odor.

761
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,519
Roll for smell.

762
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,519
Roll for odor.

763
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,200
It's a good one.

764
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,759
Yeah.

765
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:08,400
Yeah.

766
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,200
Pungent.

767
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,700
Yeah.

768
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,040
Huh.

769
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Well, and he's a teacher?

770
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,400
Well, I guess he studied wild magic at the school

771
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,480
because he thought there was something that he could tap into with it.

772
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,960
But I guess they kind of also kicked him out of the school for...

773
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,920
I mean, the lady at the school said

774
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,840
she didn't say he wasted his time, but I think that's kind of what she felt.

775
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,160
Hmm.

776
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Well, you can't judge a magician by their smell, I always say.

777
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,320
So I guess I should leave you to school.

778
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,560
It was really good to see you again.

779
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,200
Are you going to...

780
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,240
Maybe I'll see you back here.

781
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,360
I'm staying here.

782
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Oh, you're staying here?

783
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:54,640
Cool.

784
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,440
I'm staying here.

785
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,560
I'm just over at the school,

786
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,560
but I imagine because I think this is like Gabriel's base of operations.

787
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,000
I think we're going to be here a while.

788
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,119
Okay.

789
00:33:03,119 --> 00:33:07,839
Well, I'm going to, you know, go about my day, but you're my friend now.

790
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:09,359
I'm going to see you again, Moot.

791
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:10,799
Good luck with school.

792
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:12,559
That sounds like a great plan.

793
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:13,359
I'll see you later.

794
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,920
So I'm going to like go out and like,

795
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:20,160
I don't know, go look at shit or whatever.

796
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,200
There's like floating things.

797
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,000
It's amazing, right?

798
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:23,039
Yep.

799
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:23,440
Absolutely.

800
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,160
We'll catch back up with you in a moment.

801
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,440
I can't wait to hear what Gabriel's got going on.

802
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:37,039
Moot, you, so Glim says goodbye, you split ways, you...

803
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:38,320
Yeah.

804
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,920
Has he moved yet from his...

805
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,039
He's taken a couple of drinks,

806
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:47,039
but more or less he's been very stationary.

807
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:47,600
Not really.

808
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,559
It doesn't appear that he's looking for you particularly

809
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,160
or anything else in the room.

810
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:54,480
Okay.

811
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:55,680
Yeah.

812
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Is he just at the bar?

813
00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:57,759
Yeah.

814
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,559
I'll head over, sidle up next to him at the bar and say,

815
00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:06,720
Gabriel, I'm so glad you made it.

816
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:13,039
You hear a low rumble, almost like a snore.

817
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,719
And I kind of tap him on the shoulder

818
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,840
and shake him a little bit and say,

819
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,320
Gabriel?

820
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:24,719
It's just the rest of my eyes.

821
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,519
Who are you, what?

822
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,159
Well, we met last night.

823
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:28,960
My name's Moot.

824
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:32,800
Were you the one who stole all my money?

825
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,239
Nope.

826
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,239
Definitely, definitely wasn't me.

827
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,159
Were you the one who switched my shoes?

828
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,480
Over at the school, told me to find you.

829
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,239
We chatted last night about Wild Magic.

830
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,559
You're the kid who wants to learn things.

831
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:45,280
You came back.

832
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,480
Yeah, you told me to come back.

833
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,199
I did.

834
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:48,800
You said meet here at noon.

835
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,360
I've sent a lot of people to meet here at noon and they...

836
00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:54,719
I don't know, they don't come back.

837
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:56,559
I mean, at least four.

838
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,599
Anyways, so you came back.

839
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:00,099
Great.

840
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,639
You got magic in you.

841
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:05,920
I mean, yeah, that's what Savoy seemed to think.

842
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,400
And I mean, that's, I mean, yeah, I just, I don't know.

843
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,039
Like, do you think you're going to be able to help me?

844
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:13,840
Yeah.

845
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,880
Have you had a drink yet?

846
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,119
I had some water.

847
00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:19,440
Had some water.

848
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,599
Well, I asked for a lighter beer and then he suggested water.

849
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:24,719
So I just went with that.

850
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:27,599
Okay.

851
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,079
You could have had some special stuff.

852
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,320
I hear that's really good in the first thing in the morning.

853
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:32,639
Oh, yeah.

854
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:35,920
You seemed to really like that last night when I got you a couple of rounds of that.

855
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,360
Yeah, it's very good.

856
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:37,840
Very good.

857
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,639
Okay, so we got to learn magic.

858
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,039
Out of curiosity, is that like a two-day process?

859
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:50,480
How many days do you want to do it in?

860
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,960
I mean, did we talk rates last night?

861
00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:00,559
No, you just kind of sunk back into your drink and said you'd do it for free.

862
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,119
I said I'd do it for free?

863
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,240
Yeah.

864
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:10,559
You said that you were just so excited someone had wild magic that you were just so into it.

865
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,760
Make a deception check with advantage.

866
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,480
Because he's drunk?

867
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:18,240
His senses aren't really keen right now.

868
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:20,639
So the first one was a 16.

869
00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,599
The second roll was an 11.

870
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:24,960
So I'll go with the 16.

871
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,559
Well, I was a philanthropist at one point.

872
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:35,279
So I'm probably good to teach you for free, I guess.

873
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:37,279
Well, that's awesome.

874
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:41,599
Well, I mean, I'll gladly buy a few rounds of that special stuff every now and then as a thank you.

875
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,759
Great, great.

876
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:50,559
Okay, so you said you had fire magic.

877
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,960
Well, the one that manifested was like ice.

878
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,119
It was like I froze people.

879
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,559
Ice is like fire of the north.

880
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,679
So is winter coming?

881
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:08,239
Well, maybe sometime there's seasons.

882
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,400
Do you need to teach you about seasons too?

883
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:12,799
No, I think I can handle that.

884
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:16,079
Okay, so can you show me what you got?

885
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:20,000
Are you sure that's safe?

886
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,639
I don't really know what I'm doing at all.

887
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:24,880
I mean, this place has been wrecked harder times than...

888
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,079
Well, I mean, it is literally a fallen over tower, so...

889
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:30,719
Right?

890
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,159
So what's the worst you could do?

891
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:34,079
We can't fall it over twice.

892
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:36,239
Well, I mean, I froze some...

893
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,719
Yeah, okay, I'll try.

894
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:40,719
Give me your beer.

895
00:37:41,519 --> 00:37:42,800
What are you going to do with my beer, boy?

896
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,800
Well, I'm going to try and make it colder.

897
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:49,280
All right, he slides his beer.

898
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,920
So let's make a...

899
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,400
I don't want to do this.

900
00:37:55,519 --> 00:37:58,800
Make a charisma check with disadvantage.

901
00:37:58,800 --> 00:37:59,300
Okay.

902
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,719
Okay, first was a nat 20.

903
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:04,980
Shucks.

904
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:08,239
Second one is an 18.

905
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,199
Oh, so 21.

906
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,440
Shit, all right.

907
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,719
So describe this.

908
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,320
This is going to work really well.

909
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:16,719
Okay.

910
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:20,000
So probably better than what you're trying to do.

911
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,360
So describe to me what happens when this spell incurs.

912
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,400
I take the beer that has some condensation on it

913
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,000
because it's been sitting there for a few seconds

914
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,960
while he's been drinking it.

915
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,720
And as I touch the glass,

916
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,880
all of a sudden kind of frost starts forming around the edges

917
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,760
and the bits of condensation start freezing to the glass.

918
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,920
And I kind of like look at him like I'm doing it.

919
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,640
I'm doing it.

920
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,160
And then the glass like shatters because I'm doing it too well.

921
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:02,320
You see kind of a look of hope and joy in his eyes

922
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,720
as he sees the glass begin to frost.

923
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:08,960
And then it shatters and like his entire body just slumps.

924
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:11,840
I see.

925
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,720
Bartender, can you pour him another one real quick?

926
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,760
Well, you got the magic in you, boy.

927
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,680
You need to control it

928
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,680
so that you don't waste any more goddamn drinks.

929
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Yeah, I mean that's why I want to learn from you.

930
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,640
I want to be able to control this.

931
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Okay, good.

932
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,400
I'm going to finish this drink

933
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,640
and then we're going to go somewhere safer away from drinks.

934
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,880
I can't believe that you did this in this

935
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,280
this zone of safety for drinks.

936
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,320
This hallowed ground.

937
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,039
I'm sorry.

938
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:51,680
I'm sorry about that.

939
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,720
This hallowed ground for beverages.

940
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:55,680
You wanted me to show you what I tried my best.

941
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,559
Don't listen to me.

942
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,760
I mean, do listen to me because I'm going to teach you.

943
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,680
But yeah, it's a lot of conflicting messages here.

944
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:02,800
Don't touch my drink.

945
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,720
He takes another drink and begins to finish it.

946
00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:18,960
Well, hey there, welcome to the middle part.

947
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,720
Had a little something hanky go on with our interlude recording.

948
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:24,800
So you just got me, which is okay,

949
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,760
because I'm here to tell you how to enter the contest.

950
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,160
You got a few days left until June 30th

951
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,039
when you can win a copy of Ghosts of Saltmarsh,

952
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:36,400
the latest adventure module from Wizards of the Coast.

953
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,599
And how do you do that?

954
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:41,039
Well, all you have to do is share a link to this episode

955
00:40:41,039 --> 00:40:42,720
or another episode that you like.

956
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,720
You can do so on Twitter with the hashtag DumbDragonCast

957
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,200
or down in the description of this episode,

958
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,400
there's a Facebook link

959
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,560

960
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,320
share the post to your personal page,

961
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,160
telling people how much you like us

962
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,840
and make a little comment on the post

963
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,440
to let us know that you did so.

964
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:00,880
And away you go.

965
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,600
You're entered to win Ghosts of Saltmarsh.

966
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,440
We'll make the draw on July 1st.

967
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,280
Contest closes June 30th.

968
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,200
We'll let the winner know via social media first

969
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,480
and then we'll make the announcement on next week's episode.

970
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,080
And speaking of next week's episode,

971
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,120
we're gonna be giving you the game

972
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,520
that Amy and I played at D&D Live 2019, The Descent.

973
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,320
It was such a fun game and such a fun setting

974
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,680
that I'm really looking forward to

975
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,000
with Baldur's Gate The Descent to Avernus or Avernus,

976
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,040
however you wanna say it.

977
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,920
But we played with Saloni from Plot Hunters,

978
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,280
Ted from Nerd Immersion,

979
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,640
Kyle from Bombarded,

980
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,800
and Renee from Fate and the Fable Maidens.

981
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,160
That's coming up next week.

982
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,559
Make sure you enter the contest before June 30th.

983
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:44,239
Otherwise, let's get back to the episode.

984
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,239
You have a great week and we'll talk soon.

985
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:11,599
Let's be honest.

986
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:14,239
Featuring special guests, the Venture Maidens,

987
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,559
D&D is for nerds, and more.

988
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:19,759
Plus, we're in Wizards of the Coast's podcast of series.

989
00:42:29,759 --> 00:42:31,119
He just said his hopes and dreams.

990
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:32,399
He didn't cast a spell.

991
00:42:32,399 --> 00:42:35,199
You gotta get down deep and lift from the knees.

992
00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:37,199
But that's the only big organ he has.

993
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:38,799
Damn.

994
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:39,920
Taking initiative.

995
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,960
Look us up on Twitter at ti-underscore-pod

996
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,400
and on our website, takinginitiativepodcast.com.

997
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:51,039
You've been sitting in your cell all day now.

998
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,360
Merv calls over.

999
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,200
He's like, are you sure you're sure?

1000
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:57,760
That's what she said.

1001
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,320
You hear...

1002
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,360
Guard!

1003
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,400
Make a perception check.

1004
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,200
Guard!

1005
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,640
What about my secret mission?

1006
00:43:07,599 --> 00:43:08,319
Yeah, right?

1007
00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:08,879
Seventeen.

1008
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,559
You hear footsteps and like he's jingling coming from down the hall.

1009
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:16,559
Hello!

1010
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,359
They stop outside the door and the door opens.

1011
00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:25,920
And you see the same guard you saw the night...

1012
00:43:27,359 --> 00:43:28,400
Yesterday, I guess.

1013
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:30,960
Officer Tangrin.

1014
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,679
And he's standing there and he comes into the room and says...

1015
00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:39,920
Ah, tattie boy, tattie boy.

1016
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:42,960
Is it time for my secret mission?

1017
00:43:45,279 --> 00:43:47,199
You talk very loud about your secret mission.

1018
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,400
There's two of us in here, for god's sakes.

1019
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:55,440
I've been hearing complaints of somebody yelling out into the street.

1020
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,400
I told Merv not to do that.

1021
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:00,799
You hear him scoff.

1022
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:07,600
He goes to unlock your cell.

1023
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,840
Opens it up and then goes to unlock Merv's cell as well.

1024
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,039
He's like, well, are you coming?

1025
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:14,320
Totally.

1026
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:23,200
The two of you follow Officer Tangrin back to Miss Mammyowmyow's office.

1027
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,760
He opens the door and lets you in.

1028
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,480
And Miss Mammyowmyow is sitting at her desk with all of your

1029
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:35,519
things and Merv, what you can presume, are Merv's things out on the table.

1030
00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:36,719
Hey, Merv, are those your things?

1031
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,039
Yeah.

1032
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:40,400
You want to trade some things later?

1033
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:42,719
No.

1034
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:43,599
Look at my things.

1035
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:46,320
There's nothing to mine you want.

1036
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,719
You wouldn't do any sort of trade things.

1037
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:51,760
I've seen you put things up your butt.

1038
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,000
You saw nothing.

1039
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:57,920
Things fell out of what I can only presume was your butt.

1040
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,519
I don't want to touch any of your things.

1041
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Miss Mammyowmyow pipes in.

1042
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,440
Look, you want to do this or what?

1043
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:07,039
Oh, yeah, for sure.

1044
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:08,320
Yes, Miss Mammyowmyow.

1045
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:08,719
All right.

1046
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,240
So here's what you're going to do.

1047
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:11,119
You're going to take your things.

1048
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,039
You're going to go to Castle Never.

1049
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,679
You're going to sneak on in there to Dangle Never Embers.

1050
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:23,199
You're going to grab a ledger.

1051
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:25,679
Hey, does he have more than one?

1052
00:45:25,679 --> 00:45:26,179
Yes.

1053
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:27,519
What color?

1054
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:28,079
Good of you to ask.

1055
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,480
It should be a red ledger.

1056
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,759
Is there any writing on it just in case he has two red ledgers?

1057
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,480
There's going to be a symbol on it.

1058
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:48,319
No, there's not going to be symbols on it.

1059
00:45:48,319 --> 00:45:50,960
There's going to be a symbol on it.

1060
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,039
It's the symbol of the Never Embers.

1061
00:45:55,039 --> 00:45:56,480
Oh, yes.

1062
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,960
And they say a picture says a thousand words.

1063
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,599
You know what the symbol for the Never Embers is, don't you?

1064
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:09,039
Of course it's it's not embers.

1065
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:09,840
That's for sure.

1066
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:12,079
Never would they put embers.

1067
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,320
No, ma'am, I don't know.

1068
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:14,880
I don't know.

1069
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:16,800
I don't know what the symbol is.

1070
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:24,800
Okay, it's it's a like an oculus singular.

1071
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:27,360
Like a like a looky-loo.

1072
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,560
What's a looky-loo?

1073
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,600
Like something you look through.

1074
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,800
Well, it's no, it's just like one glass.

1075
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,000
Yes, like the one glass.

1076
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,240
Ah, the one like a monocle.

1077
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,160
Sure, if that's what you call it here.

1078
00:46:39,519 --> 00:46:45,760
Anyways, it's got that a chain that wraps around it some fires from below.

1079
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,640
Well, it's really pretentious.

1080
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Right?

1081
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:49,760
Yeah.

1082
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,200
This is why we need this ledger.

1083
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Very pretentious.

1084
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,000
We have to bring down the pretension.

1085
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,800
I'm ready.

1086
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:55,760
Hold on.

1087
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,039
I'm going to write this symbol down.

1088
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,360
Have you been to Castle Never?

1089
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,720
Do you know how you're going to get in there?

1090
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,440
No, but I get invited to many places.

1091
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,320
Merv speaks up.

1092
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,920
He's like, I've seen it.

1093
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,400
I know kind of whereabouts his office is.

1094
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,200
See, and this is why we need Merv.

1095
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,280
Can't believe you didn't want me to bring Merv.

1096
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:15,840
Well, good.

1097
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,360
I mean, at least one of you is worth something.

1098
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,920
So you bring the ledger back to me and then...

1099
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:24,320
Hug it out and you set me free.

1100
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:25,519
Us free.

1101
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,680
Is that what we agreed on?

1102
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,400
That is, yeah.

1103
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,800
So, okay, you go free.

1104
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,360
Don't worry about it.

1105
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,240
Well, hold on a second.

1106
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,160
If I come back, are you going to let me go?

1107
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,120
Yeah, absolutely.

1108
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,000
Well, it certainly doesn't sound like that.

1109
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,600
I am a cat of my word.

1110
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,680
I don't believe you, but I'm searching for some excitement in my life.

1111
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,119
That those three walls and one bar just can't offer me.

1112
00:47:50,559 --> 00:47:53,599
I'll take my chances at Castle Ember.

1113
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:54,159
Well, good.

1114
00:47:54,799 --> 00:47:55,599
Off you go then.

1115
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:57,119
Okay, thank you.

1116
00:47:57,119 --> 00:47:58,399
I start to gather up my shit.

1117
00:48:00,799 --> 00:48:02,319
I hop her desk.

1118
00:48:02,319 --> 00:48:03,839
She watches you.

1119
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:04,559
I have a bag.

1120
00:48:04,559 --> 00:48:06,000
Does anybody have a bag?

1121
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,399
Didn't you have this all on you when you came in here?

1122
00:48:08,399 --> 00:48:09,599
Yeah, you took my bag.

1123
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,480
She holds up the bag on the desk.

1124
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:14,240
Yeah, that one.

1125
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:14,960
Start to fill it.

1126
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:17,440
Come on, Murph.

1127
00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:19,840
Yeah, I'm already.

1128
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:20,079
Okay.

1129
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:20,320
All right.

1130
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,199
Yeah, Castle Ember waits for no person.

1131
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:28,400
You are led back out into the street.

1132
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,320
Murph, I don't fully trust this.

1133
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,760
I mispronounced the castle name twice and nobody corrected me.

1134
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,760
I don't think anybody knows what's happening here.

1135
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,519
Pretty sure they're aware that you probably don't know what's happening.

1136
00:48:41,519 --> 00:48:42,240
Fair enough, yeah.

1137
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,599
Um, but if all we have to do is go in, get a ledger and get out,

1138
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:51,199
then we might be able to hedge our bets.

1139
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:51,599
All right.

1140
00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:52,800
Lead the way, trusty steed.

1141
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:54,500
Yah!

1142
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:55,840
Yah!

1143
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,840
What a thing to say to your new partner.

1144
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,480
You follow Murph through the streets.

1145
00:49:03,199 --> 00:49:04,960
It's getting to be about dusk now.

1146
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:11,760
And he leads you to a large gate that surrounds

1147
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:14,000
Castle Never.

1148
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,079
And he says, look, there it is.

1149
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:16,719
All right.

1150
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:17,519
Now it's your job.

1151
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:19,199
How are we getting in there?

1152
00:49:21,199 --> 00:49:21,920
We knock.

1153
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:24,480
You're going to knock on cat?

1154
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,400
What are you going to say when you knock on the door?

1155
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:27,679
They'll come to me.

1156
00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:29,440
I love this plan.

1157
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,440
I love this plan.

1158
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,840
Do you want me to hang back or do you want me to come in?

1159
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,280
Oh, no, no, we're partners.

1160
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:35,599
Great.

1161
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:36,400
You're right in this.

1162
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,039
Yeah.

1163
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:37,920
Just don't look.

1164
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:38,880
Don't have that look.

1165
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:39,920
What look?

1166
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:40,639
Fix your face.

1167
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:42,480
You're still doing it.

1168
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:44,799
No, that's also weird.

1169
00:49:44,799 --> 00:49:46,159
Can you look like you have a purpose?

1170
00:49:46,159 --> 00:49:48,000
A little different.

1171
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,079
No, don't do weird things with your arms.

1172
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:50,879
Put your hands down.

1173
00:49:50,879 --> 00:49:52,159
You look like you're hiding something.

1174
00:49:52,879 --> 00:49:53,519
Oh, God.

1175
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:55,119
Okay, let's go.

1176
00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:56,480
Okay.

1177
00:49:59,199 --> 00:50:04,879
So you walk up to the gate and there's two guards standing at the gate to Castle Never.

1178
00:50:05,759 --> 00:50:07,199
Good sirs or ma'am.

1179
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,839
Are they fully arbored?

1180
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:10,880
Yes.

1181
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,240
Well, that's why I can't tell.

1182
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,800
What do you want?

1183
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:20,240
I am here on behalf of Lord Neverember.

1184
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,840
You're here on behalf of Lord Neverember?

1185
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:24,320
Yes.

1186
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,559
He said I have to come in.

1187
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:28,720
For what purpose?

1188
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:30,559
I can't believe you have.

1189
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,920
My name is Sullivan's Light.

1190
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:35,680
Great.

1191
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,640
Are you saying you've never heard of me?

1192
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,240
No.

1193
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:52,559
I make only the best linens for all of the kings and queens and lords and ladies of the lands.

1194
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:52,880
Okay.

1195
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:57,360
My linen services have been requested here.

1196
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,320
Deception.

1197
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:00,559
Eighteen.

1198
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,039
And nobody keeps a linenery waiting.

1199
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,519
Lord Neverember didn't say anything about linens.

1200
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:10,960
I'm sorry.

1201
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,280
Does he talk to you about his underwear as well?

1202
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:18,400
Do you know how personal a man's linens are, sir or ma'am?

1203
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:24,240
He goes over to a booth and he says usually he tells me if he's expecting

1204
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:25,680
particularly individuals.

1205
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,000
Right here he's got his shoemaker.

1206
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,360
Right here he's got his favorite cook.

1207
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,880
Right here he's got his underwear maker.

1208
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,880
And it's not Sullivan's Light.

1209
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,280
Who does he have making his underwear, sir?

1210
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:47,599
Because I have been called in for linens, which I assumed included underwear as well.

1211
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:51,680
And if there is someone else encroaching in on my underwear game,

1212
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,840
I need to talk to Lord Neverember to tell him how much of a mistake

1213
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,320
he is making going with these other people.

1214
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,840
Lord Neverember's not here.

1215
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,240
He's off to fight the battle of the linens.

1216
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:08,240
Battle against the cult of the dragon.

1217
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:16,560
And when he comes back and does not have a smooth set of soft, cool silk sheets

1218
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,200
to crawl into at night after he is done battling for your freedom,

1219
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,040
you can tell him.

1220
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,400
Can I like roll intimidation?

1221
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:27,360
Yeah, what are you trying to do here?

1222
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,960
Are you trying to intimidate or persuade?

1223
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,440
I'm trying to like, I don't know, both.

1224
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:32,320
I'm trying to-

1225
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,400
Yeah, well pick which one's the best for you.

1226
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,760
Is there a convince roll?

1227
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:37,440
They're the same.

1228
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:39,780
17.

1229
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,920
He looks quite taken aback.

1230
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:45,280
Sure, tell me.

1231
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,039
I don't want to disappoint.

1232
00:52:47,039 --> 00:52:50,880
How do you feel when you, after a hard day's work,

1233
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,039
crawl into a freshly made bed?

1234
00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:58,559
I mean, my bed's very rarely made, but I mean, I assume it's very good.

1235
00:52:58,559 --> 00:52:59,119
Right?

1236
00:52:59,119 --> 00:52:59,760
Yeah.

1237
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:00,960
Best feeling in the world.

1238
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:03,280
You want to take that away from your lord?

1239
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:04,640
Yeah, no.

1240
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,280
He looks over to his friend and his friend's like,

1241
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,680
I'm getting involved in this, man.

1242
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,600
It's kind of luck you're getting from him.

1243
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:18,160
So, okay, so do you have like a card or something,

1244
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:23,519
some sort of writ that says that who you are, who you say you are?

1245
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,960
I have slight of hand.

1246
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,840
Can that just mean to work like instead of stealing,

1247
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,840
but like to show something really fast,

1248
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,440
like how FBI show their badges?

1249
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:40,640
Like, sorry, sorry, how do they do it?

1250
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,880
So you're trying to show them a badge to say you're a linen maker.

1251
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,519
You're an underwear maker.

1252
00:53:49,519 --> 00:53:49,760
Yeah.

1253
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,000
It's a very strong guild.

1254
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,039
Yeah, sure.

1255
00:53:53,039 --> 00:53:53,519
I get it.

1256
00:53:53,519 --> 00:53:55,200
We take our job very seriously.

1257
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:56,880
Okay, yeah.

1258
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,800
Um, perhaps let's say you can use slight of hand,

1259
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,400
but you use it to quickly.

1260
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:08,880
Can I like quickly backwards behind,

1261
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,160
write something official sounding?

1262
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:12,960
Okay, okay.

1263
00:54:15,119 --> 00:54:17,840
It's a nat 20 plus six, 26.

1264
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:19,360
No problem.

1265
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,000
Like Merv sees you do it because he's standing behind you.

1266
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,440
But otherwise, there's like fucking blown away by my penmanship.

1267
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,000
Blown away by this behind the back,

1268
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,559
like upside down penmanship that you're doing.

1269
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,159
But you managed to write whatever you want to write on this page.

1270
00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:39,360
And you go to hand it to him.

1271
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,639
And what does it say?

1272
00:54:40,639 --> 00:54:41,840
It says,

1273
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:47,200
Linenary Guild of Faerun, Sir Sullivan Sleight,

1274
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:52,079
Esquire, Linenary Extraordinaire,

1275
00:54:52,799 --> 00:54:58,319
um, to see Lord Neverember's bedroom chambers

1276
00:54:58,319 --> 00:55:01,920
in order to outfit with new linens upon his arrival.

1277
00:55:02,639 --> 00:55:04,480
He looks this over and it's,

1278
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:07,360
I mean, there's even like,

1279
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:08,960
So now I got a stamp on it.

1280
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,279
There's like a sealed something on it.

1281
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,679
It's official as fuck.

1282
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:17,519
To him, it looks completely official.

1283
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:18,800
Oh, all right.

1284
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,759
I'm sorry, Mr. Sir Sullivan Sleight.

1285
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:26,320
He opens the gates and here's your visitor's badge.

1286
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:28,320
Thank you.

1287
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:29,440
One for my associate, please.

1288
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,559
He looks to Merv and so are you a linen, linen?

1289
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:36,880
Do you do linens too?

1290
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,480
Yeah, I do the best linens.

1291
00:55:41,519 --> 00:55:42,239
Untrue.

1292
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,039
He is but a apprentice.

1293
00:55:45,679 --> 00:55:46,480
That's the one.

1294
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,159
I am an apprentice of linens.

1295
00:55:49,519 --> 00:55:50,240
All right.

1296
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,760
Hence you both your badges and

1297
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,840
ushers you towards the front gate of the Castle Neverember.

1298
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:56,800
Thank you.

1299
00:55:57,519 --> 00:55:57,840
Of course.

1300
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,599
I won't mention it to Lord Neverember.

1301
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:00,079
Thank you.

1302
00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:03,440
Thank you for, thank you for that, Sir Sullivan Sleight.

1303
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:06,240
And we walk up to the-

1304
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:09,679
You walk up a long path to the front entrance,

1305
00:56:09,679 --> 00:56:16,240
um, and the doors open for you as you get to the top there.

1306
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,760
And you find yourself in Castle Neverember and Merv says,

1307
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,639
well, uh, I didn't think we'd get past that.

1308
00:56:22,639 --> 00:56:27,360
But, um, uh, yeah, his, his office is on the top,

1309
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:28,400
top of the castle.

1310
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,119
So I guess we head up there.

1311
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:33,199
Okay.

1312
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,440
Are you trying to just go straight up or are you going sneakily?

1313
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:38,159
What are you trying to do?

1314
00:56:38,159 --> 00:56:39,119
Let's sneak.

1315
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:39,679
Let's sneak.

1316
00:56:39,679 --> 00:56:43,119
We're like, we don't want to draw attention to ourselves,

1317
00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:46,719
but if we're there, we obviously have a 16.

1318
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,839
You stealthily, um, make your way through.

1319
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:52,480
There's, there aren't too many people kind of milling about.

1320
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,759
It is kind of later hours.

1321
00:56:53,759 --> 00:56:57,599
So there are a few guards that you kind of stop and make your way past

1322
00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:00,079
without them noticing you, uh, Merv as well.

1323
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:06,239
And you make your way up to the top of the castle

1324
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,039
and there's a single door up at the top of the flight of stairs.

1325
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:15,840
Um, it's a large carved, uh, entryway, big, huge wooden door,

1326
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,639
massive silver and brass handle.

1327
00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:23,440
As far as it goes, I'm pretty sure this is where his office is.

1328
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:24,559
Well, I go up and I touch it.

1329
00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:27,279
I go, Ooh, this is fancy.

1330
00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:30,960
Have you never seen a door?

1331
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,199
No, but this one's super nice.

1332
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:34,480
I try the handle.

1333
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:35,119
It's locked.

1334
00:57:35,759 --> 00:57:40,480
I take out my thieves tools and I pick it.

1335
00:57:42,239 --> 00:57:42,739
Is that?

1336
00:57:43,519 --> 00:57:44,159
It's light of hand.

1337
00:57:44,159 --> 00:57:44,659
Okay.

1338
00:57:45,839 --> 00:57:46,719
25.

1339
00:57:46,719 --> 00:57:47,219
Damn.

1340
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:49,599
Frank, these big dice.

1341
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:51,440
Big dice, it's crushing it.

1342
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:56,079
So it takes you a minute, um, before you kind of feel where,

1343
00:57:56,079 --> 00:57:57,759
where the mechanism is, but-

1344
00:57:57,759 --> 00:57:59,839
I'm a very romantic tune as I do it.

1345
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,359
Merv's kind of just standing watch.

1346
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,039
But it takes you a minute to kind of find it.

1347
00:58:05,039 --> 00:58:08,480
But once you do, it's like butter thing opens up

1348
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,599
and you feel the door open and swing open and into the room.

1349
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:16,559
And inside there's a large wooden desk.

1350
00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:19,039
There's lots of tapestries hung by the walls

1351
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:25,840
and two huge bookshelves filled with different writings and scrolls.

1352
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,160
Hey, do you think if we pull on enough books,

1353
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,840
we're going to find that one of these bookshelves swings open

1354
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,240
and there's going to be a secret passageway down inside?

1355
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,800
Uh, I mean, maybe,

1356
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,800
but we should probably just find the ledger and get out of here.

1357
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,480
Sure, but yeah, if we have a few extra minutes,

1358
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,320
I think we should totally look for a secret passage.

1359
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,120
Okay, okay.

1360
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,039
Maybe we should just kind of look around.

1361
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:47,840
Yeah, no, for sure.

1362
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:48,960
I go to the desk.

1363
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,559
Make an investigation check.

1364
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:53,140
13.

1365
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,400
You rifle through some of the papers on the desk

1366
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,400
and you don't find anything on top.

1367
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,039
There are four drawers along the side.

1368
00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:05,920
I would like to go through the drawers starting at the bottom.

1369
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,000
You pull on them and they are locked.

1370
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,680
Oh, I have to pick these too.

1371
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,400
You see Merv kind of going through the books on the shelves.

1372
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:14,740
13.

1373
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,000
It takes you a little longer with each lock as you go through,

1374
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,119
but you manage to get them.

1375
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,240
And you pull open the first three locked drawers.

1376
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,360
Yeah, you don't find the ledger.

1377
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,640
You find lots of different papers and official looking documents,

1378
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,760
but nothing from as far as the ledger that you're looking for.

1379
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,280
I scroll a couple smiley faces on the corners of some of the papers.

1380
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:38,559
The more important looking ones.

1381
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,240
Okay, good.

1382
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:41,280
Noted.

1383
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Do you sign your name to them too?

1384
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:44,400
I do not.

1385
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,039
Sully's no dumb.

1386
00:59:47,039 --> 00:59:47,760
No dummy.

1387
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,200
Okay, yeah, the third one you get to,

1388
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:55,840
you manage to open up and inside underneath a few pieces of paper

1389
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:01,360
is a ledger matching the description that Ms. Ma'am Meow Meow gave you.

1390
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,559
I take it out and I open it.

1391
01:00:08,559 --> 01:00:15,519
You see written in a language that you do not recognize.

1392
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:21,200
It looks like there could be different subjects or names

1393
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:26,000
followed by a colon and a list of different things.

1394
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,520
You can't read it though.

1395
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:28,800
I have no idea what the language is.

1396
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:29,920
No idea.

1397
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,520
It's not something you've ever seen before.

1398
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:32,160
Merv!

1399
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,520
You look up and you see Merv, he's got a few books in his hand as well.

1400
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:38,400
What?

1401
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,640
He's got a few books in his hand.

1402
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:41,840
What you got?

1403
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:43,840
Just some things.

1404
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:45,920
You stealing.

1405
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,680
Some things I wanted to learn and catch up on.

1406
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:50,640
What you stealing?

1407
01:00:50,799 --> 01:00:54,639
There's a book on fishery practices and taxes

1408
01:00:56,159 --> 01:01:00,319
and the best trade routes through the canals.

1409
01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:03,679
So just workbooks.

1410
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:05,199
It's workbooks.

1411
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,759
You said there were three.

1412
01:01:07,759 --> 01:01:08,639
You only told me two.

1413
01:01:10,159 --> 01:01:12,400
Two of them are tax related.

1414
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,759
Oh, yeah, that sounds about right.

1415
01:01:13,759 --> 01:01:16,079
Wow, those are boring as all get out.

1416
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:19,759
I mean, that's why I'm in jail is I got caught on like taxes and goods and stuff.

1417
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:20,800
There you go.

1418
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:21,840
You learn at you.

1419
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:22,240
Yeah.

1420
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,520
You don't make the same mistake twice.

1421
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:23,920
I appreciate that.

1422
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,320
Slip them into his bag and he comes over and looks.

1423
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,560
You understand any of this?

1424
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,320
I mean, no.

1425
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:33,760
It looks like an old language.

1426
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,560
I'm kind of limited in the languages I know.

1427
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:38,880
I know.

1428
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,080
But you're old.

1429
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,520
I'm not that old.

1430
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:42,240
How old are you?

1431
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,880
That's an awfully personal question.

1432
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,120
I'm like 32.

1433
01:01:47,119 --> 01:01:49,519
Shit.

1434
01:01:49,519 --> 01:01:50,079
Really?

1435
01:01:50,079 --> 01:01:50,639
Yeah.

1436
01:01:50,639 --> 01:01:51,359
Dude.

1437
01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:52,559
Dude hasn't aged very well.

1438
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:54,719
The sea has not been kind to you, my friend.

1439
01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:56,319
No, apparently not.

1440
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:06,159
With that, you hear a noise, a loud crack coming from outside a window in the room.

1441
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:15,119
You see a bright purple and black light come and it shines and illuminates in the window.

1442
01:02:15,119 --> 01:02:18,400
And three figures come through.

1443
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,279
They're robed.

1444
01:02:21,359 --> 01:02:22,159
Uh, Murph.

1445
01:02:23,519 --> 01:02:28,000
They see you and Murph's like, um, what's this?

1446
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,079
They see you, they turn to you, and they draw weapons.

1447
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:32,799
Oh, shit.

1448
01:02:33,679 --> 01:02:35,199
What are you doing here?

1449
01:02:36,799 --> 01:02:37,759
Who are you?

1450
01:02:38,799 --> 01:02:43,279
They pull their arrows tighter and said, we are asking the questions.

1451
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:49,600
I, can I make a sleight of hand to sneakily slip the book, the ledger into my bag?

1452
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:50,100
Yep.

1453
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:53,300
Fuck.

1454
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:54,880
It's now good.

1455
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:55,380
Nine.

1456
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:56,960
What's that?

1457
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:57,840
What do you have there?

1458
01:02:58,720 --> 01:02:59,360
Oh, here?

1459
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,480
Can I make another sleight of hand roll to take something different off of the

1460
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,160
desk to show them?

1461
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,760
One of them looses an arrow and it clipped Murph's shoulder.

1462
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:09,840
Rude.

1463
01:03:10,559 --> 01:03:11,840
He kind of stumbles back.

1464
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,480
You can make a sleight of hand if you want to.

1465
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:15,039
Oh, good.

1466
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:15,760
That's a 19.

1467
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:16,480
So 25.

1468
01:03:17,519 --> 01:03:22,160
Um, I mean, he, he sees that you slipped something into your bag

1469
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,320
and now have something different in your hand.

1470
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:24,820
Yeah.

1471
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,920
Um, it's like, no.

1472
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,720
And they move towards you and Murph.

1473
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:36,800
I pick up a heavy bottle of ink from the desk

1474
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:41,840
and I throw it in their eyes to blind them so we can escape.

1475
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:43,220
Okay.

1476
01:03:43,220 --> 01:03:44,400
I make a straight dex check.

1477
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:46,880
Oh, fuck these dice.

1478
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,480
I gave you one compliment.

1479
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:48,980
14.

1480
01:03:49,519 --> 01:03:54,320
Yeah, you hit one of them in the face, but there's one who's talking

1481
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,600
and appears to be the leader and then another one is moving towards Murph

1482
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:59,920
and he moves to grab him.

1483
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,280
But he doesn't cause Murph is like, real slippery person.

1484
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:06,560
Murph rolled a nat one.

1485
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:11,840
So he grabs Murph and begins pulling him back towards

1486
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,640
as the other one's trying to wipe the ink from his eyes.

1487
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:16,880
Well, I should do something about this.

1488
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,280
They're moving back towards the portal.

1489
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,600
Oh, it was a portal.

1490
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,840
You could presume.

1491
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:24,640
It was a light.

1492
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,040
You're several stories up in the air.

1493
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:32,400
I'm going to acrobatic, like, parkour, like,

1494
01:04:33,039 --> 01:04:35,280
foot on the desk, foot on the chair,

1495
01:04:36,639 --> 01:04:41,840
hop to grab Murph and like pull him to the side

1496
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,480
and away from the backing up to the portal.

1497
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:45,519
Make an acrobatics check.

1498
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:47,619
13.

1499
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:49,119
You do that.

1500
01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:50,240
It looks super cool.

1501
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:50,740
Nice.

1502
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,480
However, as you're jumping and leaping towards Murph,

1503
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,800
the one with the ink in his eyes kind of clears it just in time to see you

1504
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,599
and jumps and tackles you to the ground.

1505
01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:05,519
You see Murph and the other one and the person or thing

1506
01:05:05,519 --> 01:05:07,440
who took him go through the portal

1507
01:05:08,159 --> 01:05:11,679
and the other one follows and calls to him saying,

1508
01:05:11,679 --> 01:05:12,400
bring him to.

1509
01:05:13,279 --> 01:05:14,880
I'm tackled on the floor right now?

1510
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:15,599
Yeah.

1511
01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:18,239
I'm going to intimidate, I think.

1512
01:05:19,039 --> 01:05:21,519
So Murph is basically already through the portal.

1513
01:05:21,519 --> 01:05:22,719
Yeah, Murph is gone.

1514
01:05:22,719 --> 01:05:24,639
I'm just working on not going through the portal myself.

1515
01:05:25,279 --> 01:05:27,279
I'm going to intimidate in a very strange way.

1516
01:05:27,279 --> 01:05:30,480
I'm going to like, as he's got me around the waist,

1517
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:36,480
I'm going to like hook my legs around him and like cuddle his face

1518
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,480
and be like, I haven't been held in so long

1519
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,199
and just like make him like super uncomfortable

1520
01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:45,599
and like really nuzzle into his neck.

1521
01:05:45,599 --> 01:05:47,519
I don't know if there's a proper thing for that.

1522
01:05:47,519 --> 01:05:49,679
Sure, go intimidate.

1523
01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:51,280
Trying to like.

1524
01:05:52,159 --> 01:05:53,679
Make him feel uncomfortable.

1525
01:05:53,679 --> 01:05:54,179
Yeah.

1526
01:05:56,639 --> 01:05:56,960
Nine.

1527
01:05:57,519 --> 01:06:00,639
You know, I think you make him feel uncomfortable enough

1528
01:06:00,639 --> 01:06:02,079
to try and like pry you off

1529
01:06:02,079 --> 01:06:04,159
and give some space between you and him

1530
01:06:04,159 --> 01:06:06,000
before he starts to move back towards you.

1531
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,440
No, but it was so nice.

1532
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:08,639
So you have space between him.

1533
01:06:08,639 --> 01:06:09,760
The door's behind you.

1534
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,920
The portal is off to the other side of the room.

1535
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,240
Both the other assailants have walked through with Murph.

1536
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:20,880
If I turn to run, will he get any sort of, okay.

1537
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,320
No, we're in a skills check, not a combat.

1538
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:26,079
Okay, I'm going to make an athletics check then to run.

1539
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:26,400
Sure.

1540
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:26,800
I guess.

1541
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:29,200
Fuck me.

1542
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:29,700
Three.

1543
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:31,599
Have I forgotten how to run?

1544
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:33,920
Well, we'll say it's an acrobatics

1545
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,760
because athletics is strength.

1546
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,920
Acrobatics is for, yeah.

1547
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,360
So yeah, you turn to run

1548
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,119
and you feel this guy has jumped

1549
01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:48,000
and has grabbed your ankle and you fall to the ground

1550
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,320
and he is now trying to pull at your legs.

1551
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:59,920
I, as I'm being pulled, so we're like midway to the door.

1552
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:01,760
Yeah, you're kind of almost at the door.

1553
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,240
Like you could, in theory, you were like a few feet from it.

1554
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,600
He's now got you.

1555
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,200
He's laying on the ground as well

1556
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,440
and he's like pulling at your legs.

1557
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,880
Okay, I think I might have to attack this poor guy.

1558
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:16,400
However.

1559
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:17,280
He's not a poor guy.

1560
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:18,640
Yeah, that poor guy.

1561
01:07:18,639 --> 01:07:19,920
You're a level one character.

1562
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,599
Will be when I'm done with them.

1563
01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:22,719
I have acrobar.

1564
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:25,039
Yeah, you do.

1565
01:07:26,079 --> 01:07:27,279
What kind of attack?

1566
01:07:27,279 --> 01:07:29,119
Like obviously whacking him.

1567
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:29,920
And I'm gonna.

1568
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,000
Gonna be plus your strength modifier.

1569
01:07:32,719 --> 01:07:35,039
Which is huge because you're half length, so it's low.

1570
01:07:35,039 --> 01:07:36,000
Yeah, it's minus one.

1571
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,480
Go down.

1572
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,159
What kind of weapons proficiencies you have?

1573
01:07:40,559 --> 01:07:41,039
Weapon.

1574
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:43,759
Simple weapons.

1575
01:07:43,759 --> 01:07:45,119
Yeah, that would count as a simple weapon.

1576
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:46,239
So you plus proficiency.

1577
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,800
So it would be plus one to attack.

1578
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:49,300
Okay.

1579
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:52,720
Twelve.

1580
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:53,920
Yeah, you clock him in the head.

1581
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:54,420
Good.

1582
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,560
Hard enough to kind of stun him.

1583
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,880
But you have a straight shot to the door now.

1584
01:07:58,880 --> 01:07:59,380
I run.

1585
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,080
You make your way down the door.

1586
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,080
You don't hear him kind of calling.

1587
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:08,000
You see, you look up as you're kind of rounding these stairs.

1588
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,960
You see the purple and black light go out.

1589
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,200
And you make it down to the bottom and then you hear a bell ringing.

1590
01:08:16,639 --> 01:08:20,159
Loud and echoing down through the chamber as you leave the front door.

1591
01:08:20,159 --> 01:08:23,840
And you see the two guards turn to you withdrawing their weapons.

1592
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,279
And they say, what's going on in there?

1593
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:30,079
I, I stop running and I casually stroll over to them.

1594
01:08:31,199 --> 01:08:35,119
And I say, are you aware that there are people

1595
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:42,479
portaling in to the castle and stealing lininaries?

1596
01:08:43,039 --> 01:08:44,719
I don't really care about the lininaries.

1597
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,400
But if there's portals, like we saw it,

1598
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,280
one of them begins to run in.

1599
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,960
The other one goes back to the gate to stand watch, stand guard.

1600
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,320
And you hear a commotion inside.

1601
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,880
But you, as of right now, are free to carry on.

1602
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,119
Okay. I carry on out of there.

1603
01:09:03,119 --> 01:09:05,280
You make your way out into the main street.

1604
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,800
You're walking down the street back towards wherever you're going.

1605
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,199
I'm headed to the first bar I see.

1606
01:09:14,159 --> 01:09:14,399
Okay.

1607
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:15,840
That was very stressful.

1608
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,679
Sully hasn't had a drink in, I don't know how long he's been in that prison.

1609
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:24,079
You make it to a building where there looks to be a lot of people gathering.

1610
01:09:24,079 --> 01:09:25,920
There's no real sign outside.

1611
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:32,319
But as you're walking in, you come face to face with a rather tall

1612
01:09:33,679 --> 01:09:35,920
and imposing Dragonborn.

1613
01:09:36,639 --> 01:09:38,319
For the love of Pete, you're big.

1614
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,439
I am pretty big.

1615
01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:44,640
You are a little bit smaller than me, though.

1616
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:46,480
Yes. Yes.

1617
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:48,320
That is, that was implied.

1618
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:49,600
That was implied.

1619
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:50,880
Make a perception check, Lynn.

1620
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,560
Well, I mean, I have a plus one, so that's a problem.

1621
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,960
Wait, am I perceiving that he's smaller than me?

1622
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,320
Just some spatial awareness.

1623
01:09:58,320 --> 01:09:59,600
Eyes at 18.

1624
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,720
So you hear bells ringing off in the castle off,

1625
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:08,240
which you, throughout your travels and speaking with people in the city,

1626
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,000
have come to know as Castle Never.

1627
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:16,479
You notice that Sully may have a tinge of panic behind the eyes,

1628
01:10:17,199 --> 01:10:23,600
but you also see a very, like the bag that Sully is carrying.

1629
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,079
You don't know Sully, but the bag that this halfling is carrying

1630
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:31,119
is kind of half open and there's a very impressive looking book inside.

1631
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:38,800
Well, we've been staring at each other for a little bit,

1632
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,279
so I feel inclined to ask you your name.

1633
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:42,239
Okay.

1634
01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:43,199
That socially thing.

1635
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:44,320
That's a social thing.

1636
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:44,960
What's your name?

1637
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:46,960
I'm Glim.

1638
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,000
Who are you?

1639
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,360
The name's Sullivan Sleight.

1640
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:51,440
You can call me Sully.

1641
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:52,880
Oh, thanks, Sully.

1642
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:00,720
Looks like I'm hearing a lot of noise and commotion.

1643
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,400
Sounds like they might be looking for something important

1644
01:11:05,039 --> 01:11:09,679
and I like make a significant glance down toward his bag.

1645
01:11:09,679 --> 01:11:10,159
Really?

1646
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:11,920
Because I thought those were party bells.

1647
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,439
See, I'm new here in the city.

1648
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,759
I literally just got out of prison.

1649
01:11:17,039 --> 01:11:18,879
Wrongfully accused, mind you.

1650
01:11:20,319 --> 01:11:21,439
And I was just looking to,

1651
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,399
do you know where there's like a good place we can sit down and have a beer?

1652
01:11:25,759 --> 01:11:28,079
I assume we're at the Fallen Tower, are we?

1653
01:11:28,079 --> 01:11:29,279
Or like near the Fallen Tower?

1654
01:11:29,279 --> 01:11:31,199
Was that where the people were gathering?

1655
01:11:31,199 --> 01:11:32,639
You're on another side of the city,

1656
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,079
so you're at a different tavern to be named.

1657
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:37,200
Oh, okay.

1658
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,400
Well, you know, I'm staying at a nice place,

1659
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,600
but it's a long way away.

1660
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:42,400
Why don't we should just...

1661
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,920
Do you want to maybe have a drink?

1662
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,280
Sure, you're from here?

1663
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,440
I just got here, just last night.

1664
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,680
Whoa, well, tell me about your travels.

1665
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:13,360
Um, maybe I'll ask my good friend...

1666
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:16,400
Melania.

1667
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:17,280
No, just kidding.

1668
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:18,720
Do you want to make up a name for us?

1669
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,960
That I thought, because that is not what it's going to be.

1670
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:21,920
Too political.

1671
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:22,880
Guys, it's easy.

1672
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,400
Moot is just Tom backwards.

1673
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,400
Which I didn't even put together when I named the character that.

1674
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:29,920
Then I was like, oh, all right.

1675
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,400
I saw it on like the screen and I was like,

1676
01:12:32,399 --> 01:12:33,759
oh, yep, yep.

1677
01:12:33,759 --> 01:12:34,479
Sure did that.

1678
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,399
I'm changing my character name to Al Rack.

1679
01:12:37,359 --> 01:12:39,199
And that's a good character name.

1680
01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:40,000
That's awesome.

1681
01:12:40,639 --> 01:12:42,000
Yeah, Al Rack is totally...

1682
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,920
Yeah, see, these are all D&D names.

1683
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:44,479
These are great.

1684
01:12:46,079 --> 01:12:47,359
I got to write these down here.

1685
01:12:49,839 --> 01:12:52,239
These will be key characters later, so...

1686
01:12:52,239 --> 01:12:53,679
Definitely, big players.

1687
01:12:53,679 --> 01:12:54,479
Well, they might...

1688
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:55,199
You never know.

1689
01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:56,319
You never know with us.

1690
01:12:57,119 --> 01:12:59,119
That's also a really good point, Tom.

1691
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:00,800
Giant dice.

1692
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:02,159
Roll to 16.

1693
01:13:02,159 --> 01:13:03,199
Add my bonus.

1694
01:13:04,399 --> 01:13:05,199
Spider-Man.

1695
01:13:07,199 --> 01:13:09,760
It was a really good bonus, you guys.

1696
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:11,279
All of a sudden, I'm Spider-Man.

1697
01:13:12,319 --> 01:13:13,840
What time of the morning is it?

1698
01:13:15,359 --> 01:13:16,880
It's probably fairly early.

1699
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,039
We'd say, you know, seven-ish.

1700
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,159
OK, well, I'm supposed to meet What's-his-nuts-at-noon, correct?

1701
01:13:26,159 --> 01:13:28,960
What's-his-nuts-at-noon, correct?

1702
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:30,239
You're inspiring, mentor?

1703
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:31,680
Yeah, that's the one.

1704
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:32,720
Oh, what's-his-nuts?

1705
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:34,399
Oh, what's-his-nuts.

1706
01:13:34,399 --> 01:13:36,079
Old drunk McGee.

1707
01:13:36,079 --> 01:13:38,559
Calls to you and says, you found everything OK.

1708
01:13:38,559 --> 01:13:40,559
I can't remember if that was her voice, but it is now.

1709
01:13:40,559 --> 01:13:41,840
Oh, she had a lot of Irish going on.

1710
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,119
Yeah, they sometimes do.

1711
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,159
You guys are so fucking sweet.

1712
01:13:46,159 --> 01:13:50,239
And I feel like Sully is going to come in and just like fuck this shit up.

1713
01:13:50,239 --> 01:13:54,479
It's going to be adorable, adorable, adorable, friendship, love.

1714
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:55,040
Keyster.

1715
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,800
And I'm just going to suck all that adorableness like right up my bum.

1716
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:01,920
Right up your keys.

1717
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,000
This is why we need this ledger.

1718
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:04,880
Very pretentious.

1719
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:06,320
We have to bring down the pretension.

1720
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:07,520
I'm ready.

1721
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:08,560
Hold on.

1722
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:09,920
I'm going to write this symbol down.

1723
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,320
I mean, you've heard of toppling the patriarchy.

1724
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:15,040
Wait till you try to topple the pretension.

1725
