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

2
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:32,560
Don't let me go off the rails, okay buddy?

3
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,439
I got you.

4
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:38,960
And in a snap, you are in a room.

5
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,640
Welcome to my master's home.

6
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,200
So nice of you to drop in.

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,519
Please, come have a seat.

8
00:00:45,519 --> 00:00:50,240
And as he says that, three more chairs pop up out of the floor.

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,600
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,000
We're a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,439
And I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.

12
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:01,840
And with me today is Karla Maxted.

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,200
That is me.

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,359
I play Yenbul Nury.

15
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:07,519
And Amy More.

16
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:10,079
Hey, I play Thea Amastasia.

17
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:11,359
And Tom Laird.

18
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:12,239
Hey, that's me.

19
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:13,840
I play Flint Firebeard.

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,760
So we have a big episode ahead of us.

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,799
I've been carbo loading.

22
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,079
A big mini episode.

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,920
Amy's just been eating plate after plate of pasta.

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,799
So much bread.

25
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:25,760
Like the marathons, like all the Iron Man's,

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,200
phylacteries are the same.

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Oh, my God.

28
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:33,120
It's such a weird word.

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,920
What does it mean?

30
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,239
It's the resting spot of a lich's dead body.

31
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:39,760
So it's a made up word.

32
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:42,079
I don't know if it's made up.

33
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:43,599
Of course, all words are made up.

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,359
I don't know if it's made up.

35
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:49,200
He says, no, no, Amy, this is really where lich is.

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,560
This is really where lich is.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,599
It's in a dictionary.

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,840
In a dictionary, it's a different word.

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,920
In a dictionary, it says a small leather box

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,960
containing Hebrew text on vellum worn by Jewish men

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,680
at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,920
or a place where there's a dead body.

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,560
I mean, that's kind of what I feel even more weird about.

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Number one, I feel bad now for thinking it's a funny word.

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,319
Sure.

46
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:11,199
Yeah, you're welcome.

47
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:12,240
And number two.

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,479
What?

49
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:13,439
You're welcome.

50
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:14,319
You're welcome.

51
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:14,960
You're welcome for you, Shane.

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,280
I feel weird that that is the thing that they made.

53
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:21,759
Like, didn't they look it up first?

54
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:22,560
Exactly.

55
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,520
I mean, probably.

56
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:25,439
Phylactery.

57
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,159
You know, societal.

58
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:29,680
Are you saying it right?

59
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,180
Yes.

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,159
Sensitivities weren't a thing.

61
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:35,520
It's true.

62
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,240
Yeah.

63
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Maybe it's a phylactery.

64
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,759
No, it's phylactery.

65
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,159
Are you just saying factory wrong?

66
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,280
It's the lich's factory, OK?

67
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,840
It's the industrial period of this lich.

68
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:53,039
Anyway, big episode.

69
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:54,479
Anyways, big episode.

70
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,919
Where we love to hear what you think about our big episodes

71
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,039
is over on Patreon, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,

72
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,399
where you can support the show for as little as $2 a month.

73
00:03:04,399 --> 00:03:06,879
You get access to a whole bunch of really great bonus content

74
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,399
like a whole other podcast that we do exclusively for patrons.

75
00:03:10,399 --> 00:03:13,840
We're entering season four now of that.

76
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,239
Holy shit.

77
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:15,039
Can you believe it?

78
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:15,599
Nope.

79
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,879
What kind of shenanigans will happen at the downtown office this time?

80
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,959
Oh, so many downtown office shenanigans.

81
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,320
Are happening over there.

82
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,320
If you don't know, my character has a downtown office

83
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
separate from the regular office.

84
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,480
And there's some real turmoil at the downtown office in season two.

85
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,680
We get into it.

86
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,480
You know what?

87
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600
If you think like, what is this show even going to be about?

88
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Season four, we're bringing in a lot of real office influence,

89
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,480
a lot of real parks and rec situation.

90
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,640
That's where I'm trying to go with it.

91
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,120
And I'm being just roadblocked at every corner to be like,

92
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,480
no, we want to punchy punch.

93
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,280
And maybe not quite that much.

94
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
But when you are a patron, you get an episode dedicated to you

95
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640
like today's patron, Oliver.

96
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Oliver.

97
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Hey, thanks, Oliver.

98
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Thank you so much.

99
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,400
And now visit Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast

100
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,200
and then fuck it.

101
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Let's play D&D.

102
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:19,840
Flint, Thea, Yenbul and Mannix.

103
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:24,319
You find yourselves in a library, books to the ceiling.

104
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:29,680
And you've just been greeted by who appears to be a servant of Shangalar.

105
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,079
The man before you says, please, please come sit.

106
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:34,800
Let's talk.

107
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,160
Let's find out about you.

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Find out about me.

109
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,439
I like to hear about people all the time.

110
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Can I tell by looking at him whether or not he is undead?

111
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,240
Is he like falling apart anywhere?

112
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,400
Doesn't appear to be falling apart.

113
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:50,879
No.

114
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:51,520
No.

115
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,020
OK.

116
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,720
I I'm sorry.

117
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:56,800
What did you say your name was?

118
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,439
Oh, my name.

119
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,280
So I don't I don't believe I did say my name.

120
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,800
My name is Wallace.

121
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:02,960
Wallace.

122
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,439
Yes.

123
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:06,480
It is nice to meet you, Wallace.

124
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Pleasure to meet you.

125
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,080
And sorry.

126
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Your names were?

127
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,640
My name is Nulara.

128
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,040
Nulara.

129
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Mannix speaks up and says, I am Mannix.

130
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,480
Yes.

131
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:18,879
Hello.

132
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:20,000
I am Yenbul.

133
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:21,439
Pleasure.

134
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:21,920
Pleasure.

135
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,879
And sorry.

136
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:23,920
Your name good, sir.

137
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,720
Strong, sir.

138
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,400
With so many weapons on his back.

139
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,040
You come to a library with so many weapons.

140
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,879
I take them everywhere with me.

141
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:32,400
Won't charge you late fees.

142
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,120
That's for sure.

143
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Totally not.

144
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Goodness.

145
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,240
My name's Flint.

146
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,160
Pleasure to meet you, Flint.

147
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,640
Nulara, Mannix, Yenbul.

148
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,600
Lovely to meet you.

149
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Like I said, have a seat.

150
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Let's talk.

151
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Let's get to know each other.

152
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,120
I have to say you're not who we expected to greet us.

153
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Who did you expect to greet you?

154
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,520
Oh, I don't know.

155
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560
Maybe not have such a warm welcome.

156
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Why did you come to the library if not to be invited in?

157
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Was this a receiving area?

158
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,759
I mean, we've tried our best to, you know,

159
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,800
do things the right way.

160
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,960
It's just how do you know what the proper protocols are

161
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,240
when you come into someone's home like this?

162
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,439
Of course, of course.

163
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:21,759
Yes.

164
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,160
Presumably you knew being able to get into my master's house

165
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,000
that you would land in the library where we would talk.

166
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,600
Housewarming party of sorts.

167
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,040
Get to know you.

168
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,399
Little mixer.

169
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,639
Oh, I do love a good mixer.

170
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:42,560
Yes, that's very nice.

171
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,480
Can you, well, as you said, you like to learn about people and places.

172
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,279
So do I.

173
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,879
I have traveled to many lands.

174
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:54,480
Have you also or have you?

175
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,399
You know, I have traveled many places.

176
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,560
I have seen those far and near, some across the ocean.

177
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,720
Have you been to Faerun?

178
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
I've been across most of there.

179
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,040
I've seen a lot of Thay.

180
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,320
I've seen a lot of the Sword Coast, Kalimshan.

181
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,200
Did you have any weird dreams in Thay?

182
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Well, not specifically.

183
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
You were being tortured by a giant like monster.

184
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:35,839
That sounds like a very interesting occurrence that not everybody has had.

185
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:39,120
Oh, I thought maybe it was just like everyone who goes to Thay thing.

186
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:42,800
No, no, fortunately that sounds terrible.

187
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,319
I would not want that to happen.

188
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:45,599
And how did you travel?

189
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:47,599
I've done most of my traveling on foot.

190
00:07:48,799 --> 00:07:54,479
Have you been in this amazing flying fortress?

191
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:03,200
No, no, no, the flying fortress, it stays here as kind of a home base of sorts.

192
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,280
When I was doing most of my traveling, it was I traveled by boat.

193
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,560
I traveled by cart.

194
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,439
I traveled by portal from time to time.

195
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:15,439
Longer distances when I knew I had, you know, deadlines to meet that sort of thing.

196
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,960
What kind of deadlines did you have?

197
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,439
Oh, well, at the time I was more of an adventurer of sorts.

198
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,199
A traveler of the world.

199
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,360
I distributed goods from one place to another for payment.

200
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,120
Now life is so much simpler.

201
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,000
I tend to master's needs.

202
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,159
I greet people who come to be greeted.

203
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,799
How did you come to meet him?

204
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,240
Well, that was a long tale.

205
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:46,960
We have time.

206
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,679
Of course you do.

207
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,640
Let me pull up another chair.

208
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,960
And he another chair rises up out of the floor and he has a seat.

209
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,880
Says, please, you look like you've traveled such a long way.

210
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,560
I'm going to sit down.

211
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,320
Manix goes and sits down as well.

212
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,600
I didn't want to sit down until there was enough chairs for everyone,

213
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,680
but now that there's enough chairs for everyone.

214
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,200
You're super polite like that.

215
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Yeah, that's fair.

216
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Well, where did I meet master?

217
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,399
Well, that was some time ago.

218
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:20,879
I was traveling through Calum Shan and came across him.

219
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360
He showed me kind of the way,

220
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,879
a way in which people can experience life without pain,

221
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:36,159
life without suffering.

222
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:39,039
I have an ignorant question.

223
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:40,399
Please excuse me for this.

224
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:40,960
Of course.

225
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,320
All questions are good questions.

226
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,440
This is all new to me.

227
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Is it considered a life if they are dead

228
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,600
and then brought back to life, therefore being undead?

229
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Well, undead is not dead.

230
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,320
Undead is not alive.

231
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Who are we to determine what is alive and not alive?

232
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,560
They move around.

233
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Do they have hopes and dreams that they get to fulfill and accomplish?

234
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,520
Of course.

235
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,400
They have single tasks that they are set out to control of their own volition.

236
00:10:13,199 --> 00:10:14,319
Who gives them the task?

237
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:22,720
Well, it's dictated through more of a master, apprentice, master, servant, master,

238
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,720
hive mind, you know, that sort of thing.

239
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,519
Hive mind?

240
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:29,039
Some of them, yes.

241
00:10:30,319 --> 00:10:31,919
Just a big old family, right?

242
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:32,559
That's right.

243
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,319
Yes, like ants.

244
00:10:34,319 --> 00:10:37,600
Ants work, hive mind, bees hive mind.

245
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,399
They all work for the common good of their people.

246
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,399
So, question, if you, if the master is the queen bee?

247
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,680
Yes.

248
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,560
And the undead are the worker bees?

249
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:52,800
Sure.

250
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:54,960
Who are you?

251
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800
I am an in-between.

252
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:11,040
The master requires someone who can work with those not yet on board, who have not yet seen

253
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,320
the light.

254
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:25,200
Once I serve my time, once I do as enough to earn my place among my master's

255
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:33,280
immortal souls, then I am granted permission to join them.

256
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Oh, that sounds kind of lonely.

257
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,800
How much time do you have to serve?

258
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,640
As much time as is needed.

259
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:54,960
As I've seen, is there like a rigorous testing that one has to go through

260
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:04,320
to accept this way of life and want to become an undead part of the hive community?

261
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Well, I mean, pledging allegiance is a step in the wrong direction.

262
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,000
That's what we do in the living.

263
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:25,039
We are looking to better everyone, not just a single nation or a single group of people,

264
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:33,519
but a commitment to a better life for you and for those around you.

265
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,639
One, like I said, of no disease, of no pain, of no suffering,

266
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,559
where everyone works together for the good of those around them.

267
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,799
That's what Master is trying to do.

268
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,879
And I assume that's why you came to discuss these things.

269
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240
We just had so many questions.

270
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,120
And it's really hard to find accurate information out there that isn't,

271
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,039
you know, completely biased or just filled with-

272
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:08,720
Ah, the liberal media is just ridiculous with this sort of thing, isn't it?

273
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:18,080
You shut your fucking mouth.

274
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,120
There's no political slant there.

275
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,000
I'm just making a joke.

276
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Everybody okay?

277
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Get off my back.

278
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,080
Get off my back.

279
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,879
We're cool.

280
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:24,000
It's okay.

281
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,120
I'm talking to Fox TV.

282
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,960
So any information you can give us would be great.

283
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,960
So if we were interested, and I mean, we're just in the information gathering

284
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,360
process right now, and if there's a tour of the facility that goes on at any

285
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,160
different kind of intervals, I think we'd be, and I look at the group,

286
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,080
we think we'd be totally into that.

287
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,440
Yes, fascinating.

288
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,320
That'd be wonderful.

289
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:54,879
But is there, like I asked before, is there a waiting period?

290
00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:57,840
You're obviously in the waiting period, right?

291
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,960
Just trying to earn your place, which I mean, sounds a little bit lonely,

292
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,920
and it sounds like you've been doing this for a long time,

293
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,000
and man, I like really hope your number comes up soon, like in the best way.

294
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,400
Thank you.

295
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,520
Yes, I appreciate that.

296
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,440
But it's all for the community, right?

297
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:15,840
Of course.

298
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,640
And I mean, you still have your agency and free will at this moment,

299
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,440
which I mean, you know, you got to look at all the positive sides.

300
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,120
I mean, that's neither here nor there.

301
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,120
When my time comes, it will not be a burden on me anymore.

302
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Right.

303
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,320
I bet.

304
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,720
I bet sometimes, I mean, you have bad days just like everybody else, right?

305
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,960
I mean, who doesn't have, you know, you wake up, you stub your toe,

306
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,480
your tomes get mixed up, someone's misplaced something,

307
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,879
and you're just like, ah, and you're just feeling like really, like really bad,

308
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:54,879
but you have that to hold on to that.

309
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,800
Eventually for you, hopefully, I mean, if you're lucky,

310
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,600
that's no longer going to be an issue for you unless your master changes his mind

311
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,320
or decides you're doing too good of a job here, obviously.

312
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,320
I am not concerned about that.

313
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Oh, that's so great.

314
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
I mean, because I'm sure on those bad days that,

315
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,680
you know, that little thought that creeps into your mind,

316
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,680
you're like, gosh, you know, I just, I could be somewhere else.

317
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,279
Or is he just stringing me along?

318
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:23,519
Am I ever going to get to be part of the undead horde?

319
00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:26,720
You know, these are all questions that come through everyone's mind every now and then.

320
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:31,040
They just pop like fleetingly, obviously.

321
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:32,240
Of course, of course.

322
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
Let me put your minds at ease.

323
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,839
Shangri-La has a place for everyone in the undead army, as you so referred to it as.

324
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:43,679
If that's what you want to, if that's how it makes you feel more comfortable at this moment.

325
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:45,839
I believe I said horde, but all right.

326
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:46,799
Of course, yes.

327
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,159
Sorry, mixed slip of the tongue.

328
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:51,360
Undead horde.

329
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,879
Good, good correction, Flint.

330
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:53,599
Thank you.

331
00:15:53,599 --> 00:15:54,399
Thank you.

332
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,199
Could you tell us a little bit about Shangri-La?

333
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:05,759
Why, aside from escaping the pain and longing and loneliness and terror of the world,

334
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:08,080
which does sound pretty nice.

335
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,360
What has inspired such loyalty from you that you would toil here,

336
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,160
waiting for your chance to join?

337
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Talking about a man of mystery, try to get some information on this guy.

338
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,640
It's like, who is he?

339
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,840
The myth, the man, the legend?

340
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Like, can you give us some insider information?

341
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Oh, well, some things are not for me to say.

342
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,680
He hasn't told you everything.

343
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Well.

344
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Or do you mean it's in a book?

345
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,680
I mean, we are in the library.

346
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Is that what you mean?

347
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Many things are.

348
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Are you trying to encourage reading?

349
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,360
Well, if you read a book, take a look in it.

350
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,560
It's gonna be so good.

351
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Notoriously litigious.

352
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,920
I didn't say anything in any tune that was even close to what they said.

353
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Cut it out anyway.

354
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,840
I don't want to deal with that crap.

355
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,040
Take that look inside a book.

356
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,759
And it's gonna be a real great time.

357
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:02,639
It's getting closer.

358
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:03,040
Stop it.

359
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,799
Shangri-La, he's really just reading all of the colors under the sky.

360
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:11,519
Okay.

361
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:13,759
But is he, like, is he nice?

362
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:15,680
Like, what's he like?

363
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,480
What's it like to be in his presence?

364
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,319
He's a man who commands power and presence as he enters the room.

365
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,200
He's one who,

366
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,240
he's one who you see and you're like,

367
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,759
yes, I will follow him to the end of the world and back.

368
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:32,259
Wow.

369
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,460
Wow.

370
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,360
That's awe-inspiring.

371
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,319
Also, he seems like he'd be a funny guy, right?

372
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,680
I mean, he cracks wise.

373
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,160
Real good.

374
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:47,600
I mean, they're a little bit, it takes him getting used to his sense of humor at first,

375
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,880
but once you get it, you get it.

376
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,440
You just click.

377
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,000
You're firing.

378
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,039
It's like the, you know, the adventurer with the three questions swallow that one, you know?

379
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:00,799
Yes.

380
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:01,599
Those ones.

381
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:02,099
Yeah.

382
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,380
Bad humor.

383
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:05,119
I thought you were going to say lots of puns.

384
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:07,839
I thought it was going that direction too.

385
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,279
No, that's part of the pain that he's trying to stop from the world.

386
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:19,359
Little more sophisticated upper class humor.

387
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Highbrow humor.

388
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,440
I'm into it.

389
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,960
Now, would you still consider him a man?

390
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Because last I heard he's a lich?

391
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Well, of course.

392
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,000
I mean, but do you separate the man from the lich?

393
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,360
I don't know.

394
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,640
This is the first I've ever discussed a lich before.

395
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Wow.

396
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,640
Well, you have a lot to learn.

397
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,200
You know, we do have some things in books.

398
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,520
I can leave you to it if you would so desire.

399
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:50,000
Come back.

400
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,520
Answer any questions you might have.

401
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,640
I can go ask the master.

402
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,320
See if we can give you a little tour.

403
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720
I mean, he's probably busy dealing with a bunch of stuff.

404
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,960
Maybe we just go for that little tour and we, you know, right at the very end of it,

405
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,840
we go see him.

406
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,200
Of course.

407
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,760
Of course.

408
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,240
I see.

409
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,960
Well, I'd hate.

410
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,280
Now, you all seem like very upstanding, nice people.

411
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,960
Weapons aside at a library.

412
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,360
Again, I just take those everywhere.

413
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,519
You didn't, you didn't see the sign when you came in.

414
00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:22,079
I get it.

415
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:22,720
I get it.

416
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,680
You turn over your shoulder.

417
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,960
There's a sign that says no weapons.

418
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,920
It's just an axe with a big old.

419
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,000
The master has eyes all throughout the organization.

420
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,799
Of course.

421
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:37,519
Any good master would.

422
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:43,600
If he were to catch wind that I took some unknowns through the facility,

423
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,640
through his home without his approval, that could be bad for me.

424
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:57,920
Would it though, or would it be showing the type of like ingenuity and take charge

425
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,040
this and like really going out and trying your best, not bothering him with the menial

426
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,640
stuff, but you know, like doing what you know would be right in the spirit of.

427
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,920
Of his master ship.

428
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,800
Uh, you're trying to persuade Wallace.

429
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,360
Are you not?

430
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,160
Yeah, I guess so.

431
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:16,400
All right.

432
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,360
Roll a persuasion.

433
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,320
All right, I will.

434
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,080
Oh, it's only a seven.

435
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,960
How very Thea of me.

436
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,320
You know, I, I understand where you're coming from,

437
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,039
but I just don't think that that will go over the way you expect it.

438
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:35,600
Oh, okay.

439
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,440
Well, you know, I don't know how stuff works here.

440
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160
So it's maybe it's just best that we just like

441
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,560
read up, get a little more information.

442
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120
Um, could I ask an embarrassing question?

443
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:47,920
I'm sorry.

444
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,120
No bad questions.

445
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,320
Please fire away.

446
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,600
I don't see.

447
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Is there a, perhaps a restroom I could use somewhere to go?

448
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,360
Oh, now that you said that, I need to go.

449
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:02,880
Another point in the, in the wind column here.

450
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,720
Once you join the undead horde, good Flint, no need to use the restroom anymore.

451
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,160
Oh, no need for these biology breaks.

452
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,519
I would not need to stop.

453
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:16,160
But at the moment I do actually quite badly need.

454
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,319
He snaps his fingers and behind you, he says over there,

455
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,880
you turn and you see a door.

456
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,920
Says you may use the restroom.

457
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,079
I go with you because ladies go together.

458
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:28,579
That's right.

459
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,240
Thank you.

460
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,960
Thank you, Phyllis.

461
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:35,519
Gen Bull and Thea walk off and into the restroom.

462
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:36,960
I see it around the way.

463
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,559
Do you think that he's got eyes in here?

464
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:40,559
Oh, I hope not.

465
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:41,279
What a creep.

466
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Now, can I just ask him a series of inane questions until they're back?

467
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,480
Sure.

468
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,240
Whenever they're planning in the bathroom.

469
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,680
Have I left my purse with Flint by any chance?

470
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,880
Is that something that I did?

471
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:56,480
You tell me.

472
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,400
That was just a joke because when sometimes ladies go to the washroom,

473
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,559
they leave their purses with their people.

474
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,640
So as they walk off, let's just, so now how did you do that?

475
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,640
I didn't see the door there before.

476
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,039
Of course.

477
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:13,279
Yeah.

478
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:18,400
This part of the gig, part of the role, so to speak,

479
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,160
is I can command some of the abilities of the office.

480
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:23,440
Cool.

481
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,680
Now, how did you do the chair thing?

482
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,160
Again, abilities of the office.

483
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,039
I'd beckon it.

484
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:29,759
It comes.

485
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,839
I tell it to go away and it goes away.

486
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:34,000
Yeah.

487
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,200
But how do you do that?

488
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,839
I command my master's power.

489
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:39,119
We cut to the bathroom.

490
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,639
What are you two doing in the bathroom?

491
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:43,679
Because we know you're not actually using the bathroom.

492
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:45,439
Nobody in D&D uses the bathroom.

493
00:22:45,439 --> 00:22:47,039
See how legit it goes in peace.

494
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:48,079
Yeah.

495
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:49,599
I mean, it's an opportunity to pee.

496
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:52,639
So you know Carla and I, if there's a bathroom.

497
00:22:52,639 --> 00:22:53,839
If there's a chance, I'm going to go.

498
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:54,399
We're going to go.

499
00:22:55,919 --> 00:23:00,079
But no, I mean, I was just trying the oldest trick in the book

500
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,439
to see if he just let me out into the hallway to go pee.

501
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,319
Just wanted to see what would happen.

502
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:08,399
Whipped up a bathroom out of no air.

503
00:23:08,399 --> 00:23:10,399
Made a bathroom appear out of thin air.

504
00:23:10,399 --> 00:23:12,000
But I figured it was worth a shot.

505
00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:14,799
Paint a word picture.

506
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:15,359
Okay.

507
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah.

508
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,159
You walk in and there is a fire.

509
00:23:18,159 --> 00:23:19,679
The fan art of this bathroom.

510
00:23:19,679 --> 00:23:21,519
There is a fire burning in the corner.

511
00:23:22,639 --> 00:23:24,879
There's a nice for the farts.

512
00:23:24,879 --> 00:23:25,359
Yep.

513
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,279
There is a like no other toilet you've seen.

514
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:31,279
It's a bidet function though.

515
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:32,079
Yes.

516
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:32,559
Of course.

517
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:34,399
Of course you sit down.

518
00:23:34,399 --> 00:23:36,079
It has buttons all over the place.

519
00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:38,079
You're not sure what any of them specifically do.

520
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:38,960
I press them all.

521
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:44,879
You're blasted by air and water and heat starts to rise from the bottom

522
00:23:44,879 --> 00:23:47,199
and your feet begin to cool for some reason.

523
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,159
A fan in the roof starts.

524
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,159
The tap goes on the faucet.

525
00:23:55,199 --> 00:23:56,960
The fire turns off and on again.

526
00:24:00,159 --> 00:24:02,000
And there's music for some reason.

527
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:02,319
I'm not sure.

528
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:05,839
And there's some slow sexy jazz that just starts going.

529
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:06,959
It just covers up the sound.

530
00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:14,000
Remember that for the dungeon downtime.

531
00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:18,879
I get out.

532
00:24:18,879 --> 00:24:19,679
I wash my hands.

533
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Did you press any of those buttons?

534
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:24,319
There are so many.

535
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:26,399
I press them all.

536
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,199
I may just join their side based on the type of facilities they have here.

537
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,240
I am not a fan of the lich who destroyed my beautiful home city,

538
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:42,480
but I must say the library and the bathroom are very nice.

539
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:46,000
It's not what I expected.

540
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,680
I thought it would be more...

541
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:50,080
Hole in the floor?

542
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Yes.

543
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,519
More dingy.

544
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,319
They have quite the modern comforts here.

545
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Yes.

546
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,120
Not what I expected.

547
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,520
I guess I'll just wash my hands and head on out of this bathroom.

548
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,440
You exit and Flint is just firing questions at Wallace.

549
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,960
So where is the library in relationship to the rest of the pyramid?

550
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,560
I mean, where are we in the relation to the rest of the period?

551
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,080
Where are we in relation to the rest of the pyramid?

552
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240
That's such a large question.

553
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:28,559
Well, no, I mean, it's a pyramid.

554
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,799
So obviously we're in some location.

555
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:31,759
You are in it.

556
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,400
Sure, but where in it?

557
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:36,400
In a central location.

558
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:39,120
Okay, but how big is the pyramid?

559
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,680
I mean, did you see it walking up?

560
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:46,880
Yeah, but I mean, it's hard to tell when you're just eyeballing.

561
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,480
Do you have any schematics?

562
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,799
It is very large.

563
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,279
Are there blueprints for the pyramid that I can have a look at?

564
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:55,440
I've got a little bit of a thing for some architecture,

565
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,559
so I'm just kind of curious.

566
00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:01,519
One thing that Master does not keep is a direct map or blueprint.

567
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,039
Likes renovation projects.

568
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:09,200
Well, maybe that would be something that you should undertake with all your spare time.

569
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,680
You can present him a map of the pyramid and he'd probably be thrilled to have that.

570
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,160
Probably would be thrilled to see that.

571
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:19,039
That is a good question and a good answer.

572
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:22,320
How was the washroom, ladies?

573
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:25,679
It's the prettiest shitter I've ever been in.

574
00:26:25,679 --> 00:26:26,079
Thank you.

575
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:29,279
It was so honestly beautiful.

576
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:31,359
Like making Tom laugh.

577
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,519
Don't get many, we don't get many visitors,

578
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:35,119
but when I do get to show off these fine,

579
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,359
you know, I put a little bit of my own design function into that.

580
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,960
Did you press all of the buttons?

581
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,119
I pressed all the buttons multiple times.

582
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:44,639
Was it the music?

583
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:47,119
The music, yes.

584
00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:48,639
I have a question though.

585
00:26:48,639 --> 00:26:49,519
What a choice.

586
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:49,679
Why?

587
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,200
Well, you need to be the most relaxed.

588
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,600
Why?

589
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,640
I like the button that immediately put the little like

590
00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,200
squatty stool under your legs.

591
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,759
Right?

592
00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:00,480
Super helpful.

593
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:02,720
Also though, I had a question.

594
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,720
Why did you have a button that turned off and on the fireplace?

595
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,840
I noticed that as Yen Bull was in there.

596
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,360
Sometimes it gets too hot.

597
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,680
Yeah, but how do you know that that's what it does?

598
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,759
You know none of your buttons are labeled, right?

599
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:17,680
That's the joy of the bathroom.

600
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,160
Sometimes the excitement is not knowing what's coming next.

601
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,720
That's what I always say when I go to the bathroom.

602
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,440
Now that you're all watered, now that you're all ready to go,

603
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,920
you've asked, do you have any more questions?

604
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,600
Flint Mannix, you've been rather quiet.

605
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Mannix just nods.

606
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,519
I, for one, I think would just like to peruse the shelves, you know?

607
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:40,480
Of course, of course.

608
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,560
I probably have questions I don't even know I have,

609
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,960
but will be answered if I just look in a book.

610
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,240
I get it.

611
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,160
All of the knowledge can be found in a book.

612
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:52,259
Cool.

613
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,600
Okay, well, I will leave you to it.

614
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,279
I will go.

615
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:09,279
Now, I wasn't clear if you really wanted me to ask permission for a tour of the facilities,

616
00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:10,640
or if you just want me to give you some time.

617
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:11,680
Well, okay.

618
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,400
Well, hold on.

619
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,640
Do many people come in asking for the tour?

620
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,280
We don't want to be some weirdos who come in here asking to see everything.

621
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,640
If that's just not something that's usually offered,

622
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,120
the master will be like, who the fuck are these people?

623
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:25,920
No, get out of here.

624
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,320
You know what?

625
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,600
It's not like a radio station.

626
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:33,680
People don't just drop in asking for tours to see the board,

627
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,840
see the studios, visit the sales pit.

628
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:38,800
It's not what they do.

629
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,720
Those people realize that there are movie theaters.

630
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,100
Right?

631
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,680
You would think.

632
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:53,520
But no, no, you're the first visitors in quite some time to come through the library.

633
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,560
I would feel really weird, I think, if you asked him and said,

634
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,800
hey, these people just want to see everything.

635
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Like, I agree.

636
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,240
I feel like as cultural outsiders,

637
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:14,400
it would be strange to then demand something that is not normally done.

638
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,000
I would not feel comfortable with that.

639
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,200
Perhaps I will just look at the library.

640
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,840
Of course, of course, take a look.

641
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,320
Peruse at your pleasure.

642
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,560
I will leave you, I will come back in a few, check on you.

643
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:30,160
Cool, thanks.

644
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:38,560
And as he's saying that, his chair slowly sinks into the floor with him along with it.

645
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,080
That's fine, you got to teach me that.

646
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Okay, well, I feel like talking openly is not an option.

647
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,240
Yes, I think you are right.

648
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:54,960
What should we...

649
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:04,240
What are some topics that we can look at that will tell us more?

650
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,840
Libraries and how to escape them?

651
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,860
Or...

652
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Magic floor chairs.

653
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:19,039
Maybe we just start to look around the library, but not at the books.

654
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,200
Yes, I see what you are saying.

655
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,960
I would like to wander around the library searching for any type of...

656
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,200
A very specific title of book.

657
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,559
Any type of exit, any type of something that looks like it could be a secret exit,

658
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,640
like I pull on this wall sconce.

659
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:43,279
Okay, everybody, make me an investigation rule.

660
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Oh, Amy, you fucking suck.

661
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,920
No, yeah, mine was terrible.

662
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,720
It's five.

663
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,220
Twelve.

664
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:56,080
Sorry, I said that about myself, Carla, and then you rolled lower than me.

665
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,880
Don't even get me started about Carla.

666
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,480
Mannix rolled a 19.

667
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,600
Of course he did.

668
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:06,799
Thank God for Mannix.

669
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:07,299
Right.

670
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,279
Sorry, is Mannix a he?

671
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,680
We haven't...

672
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,640
I think of they.

673
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,840
I know, I keep saying he.

674
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:14,400
I keep saying he.

675
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,960
We said he in the first part, but then they...

676
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,040
We'll get into some backstory at a later time, but yeah.

677
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,000
Let's go they.

678
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,500
Okay.

679
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:32,480
So yeah, describe to me what your character is doing.

680
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Four walls, all the walls are stacked with books.

681
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Up into nowhere.

682
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,680
The washroom is still there.

683
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,720
He left that.

684
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,360
That's kind.

685
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,360
There are four chairs where there were five.

686
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,080
There's the fireplace, which has a roaring fire in it.

687
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,279
So no like stacks, like no shelves of books,

688
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,680
just the exterior walls are covered with books.

689
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:56,640
Yes.

690
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,519
And then a big...

691
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,279
Yeah, like no aisles, but yeah, just yeah.

692
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:01,680
Okay.

693
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,640
And then like all the way up to a ceiling that you can't see the end.

694
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,120
Are there ladders to reach said very tall books?

695
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Um, as you think about ladder, one appears in a corner.

696
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,800
I think about a margarita.

697
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:22,820
Okay.

698
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Yep, a margarita appears in the corner.

699
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,080
Can I go...

700
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,800
I'm going to look where the chairs were.

701
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,080
I assume it is something magical, but I want to see if there is in fact like,

702
00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:42,480
you know, trap doors, like something mechanical that made those chairs appear,

703
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,199
even though I assume no, but I'll go look.

704
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,079
Yeah, you go investigate that location,

705
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:52,000
and it does not appear that there are any trap or secret doors in the floor.

706
00:32:52,879 --> 00:32:56,879
And even watching the chairs appear and disappear, the ones that you did see,

707
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:04,480
almost like the floor melted around it as it was being taken from the room

708
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:06,480
and brought into the room.

709
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,140
Okay.

710
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,240
Sia thinks really hard about Donnie.

711
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,240
There's no Donnie.

712
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Okay, well...

713
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:21,600
Good try though.

714
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,400
She walks through the stacks of books, running her hands along them,

715
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,160
and every time she sees like a particularly old one, she tips it out

716
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,920
and like waits for something to happen.

717
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,480
You do that.

718
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,960
Nothing occurs as you do that for a while.

719
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,960
And what are the books?

720
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Is there any theme to the books or it is like a library?

721
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,519
There is different sections with different kinds of all kinds of knowledge.

722
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:53,360
Or is it all like, how to embrace your undead life?

723
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,000
How to be your best undead self?

724
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,319
Not thousands of books on how to be your best undead, but yeah,

725
00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:04,960
all sorts of sections and knowledge and just like a library.

726
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,599
What's the one from Beetlejuice, the guide for the recently deceased?

727
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:10,099
Right.

728
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,280
What about around the fireplace?

729
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:16,639
Like is there any...

730
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,599
Yeah, does it just look like a normal fireplace?

731
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:23,840
It's a bricked-in fireplace.

732
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,800
There are statuettes of what look like serpents

733
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,560
kind of coming a little bit out of either of those.

734
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,440
Can I like try and pull on those?

735
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,160
I'm big on this.

736
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,480
There's got to be a trap door somewhere.

737
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,160
We'll try and pull anything that might be a lever.

738
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,960
It's also like fucking D&D, everything's magic,

739
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,880
because otherwise it's like, well, there's a fireplace,

740
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,400
so you know there's got to be a chimney.

741
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,200
So there has to be, but that's probably not true.

742
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,200
There's chairs that disappear into the floor.

743
00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:00,799
Yeah, you pull on them and they appear to be firmly planted.

744
00:35:04,879 --> 00:35:09,519
I would like to see if there's an autobiography or biography on Shangalar.

745
00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:11,199
Make another investigation check.

746
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:15,119
That's 14.

747
00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:20,480
You are looking through the shelves and you do come to a section.

748
00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:26,559
You're looking closely at them and then you almost bump into Mannix,

749
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,800
who has pulled a book from the shelves.

750
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:35,280
You look down and you see it says it's an old gray dusty book

751
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,119
that says phylacteries on it.

752
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:39,679
What you got there?

753
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:48,320
It appears to be a book on locations of liches.

754
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:50,000
Oh, cool.

755
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,719
How best to enforce them, but every section I read ends open-ended.

756
00:35:58,559 --> 00:35:59,199
Like what do you mean?

757
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:03,679
Like it describes how best to set up defenses,

758
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,960
but as it gets to the actual mechanics of such things,

759
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:13,840
it's like the words dissolve in your mind.

760
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:18,480
Oh, I guess knowledge is power.

761
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,719
You look up on the shelves and a book catches your eye.

762
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,079
It's a little bit out of your reach.

763
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:29,119
But I can magic myself one of those ladders.

764
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:29,920
Sure.

765
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,199
Think about a ladder really hard.

766
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:31,920
Look at this, guys.

767
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,000
One pops out of your ass.

768
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,840
Just a step stool.

769
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,320
No, I can guarantee there's nothing up there,

770
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,079
thanks to all the buttons in that bathroom.

771
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,199
Yeah, a ladder appears and you're able to step up

772
00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:03,119
and it's got like a bright red spine on it.

773
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:08,639
And you see a serpent that's winding up the spine of it.

774
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:10,159
You guys, this one's singing to me.

775
00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:12,880
Not really though, that'd be weird.

776
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,519
I bring the book down.

777
00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:17,679
Do I see a title on it?

778
00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:18,799
Is it title?

779
00:37:18,799 --> 00:37:24,159
As you pull it off the shelf, everybody,

780
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:28,000
the light goes out.

781
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:31,039
Not just the light in the room of the fire,

782
00:37:31,759 --> 00:37:33,599
but like your vision goes black.

783
00:37:39,919 --> 00:37:42,079
Hey, it's the middle and we're here.

784
00:37:42,799 --> 00:37:44,399
Definitely for the first time.

785
00:37:44,399 --> 00:37:45,440
Haven't done this one.

786
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,720
We never do retakes on the middle

787
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,079
because we always nail it every time perfectly.

788
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:54,240
Don't listen to the bloopers.

789
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,599
You won't hear any bloops from today's interlude.

790
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,679
Anyways, we don't want to get off track.

791
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:04,559
What we want to tell you about is the new season

792
00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:06,639
of our other show, Facing Fate.

793
00:38:06,639 --> 00:38:09,760
It's called Shadows and it just launched

794
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,880
this past Monday with the first episode

795
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,240
and we want you to go listen to it

796
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:15,600
because we're very excited about it.

797
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,920
We're playing the game Urban Shadows

798
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,960
by Andrew Medeiros.

799
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,880
It's published by Magpie Games

800
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,640
and it's a dark monsters walk among us

801
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,240
kind of story set in mid-90s Toronto

802
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:29,840
which screams dark.

803
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,160
Wait, if you don't know mid-90s Toronto,

804
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,000
that does scream dark.

805
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,960
It's scary.

806
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,320
It's dark time.

807
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,600
Spooky, scary.

808
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,400
That's what we've got going on.

809
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,240
We didn't have the internet now as we know it.

810
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,480
Whoa, that is scary.

811
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,480
But all of our characters have cell phones.

812
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,400
People in the 90s had cell phones for us.

813
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Absolutely, they did.

814
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:48,640
Motorola was big.

815
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,360
Shout out to Motorola.

816
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,080
Give us a call.

817
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:53,600
We will.

818
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,040
Are you still making phones?

819
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,560
I want to see where Amy's going with that.

820
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,360
What are we going to do?

821
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,680
Sling flip phone ads for you.

822
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:04,480
Yeah, absolutely.

823
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Give us a call.

824
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Drop my number down in the description.

825
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,960
Only Motorola call, please.

826
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,600
Anyways, we'd like you to go listen to Facing Fate.

827
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,880
Link's down in the description.

828
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,520
New season.

829
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,160
We're very excited about it and we hope you are too.

830
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,120
Thank you for listening.

831
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,280
Now we'll get you back to this episode

832
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,400
and you have a great week

833
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,600
and we'll talk to you next week.

834
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,140
Bye.

835
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:26,740
Bye.

836
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,600
Thea, you fall.

837
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:34,900
Oh, God.

838
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,560
Three feet.

839
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,360
Okay, right.

840
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,840
It's a step.

841
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:41,540
Hate you.

842
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:43,760
Three feet.

843
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,640
Don't be such a drama queen, Thea.

844
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,200
Not enough to hurt, but enough to shock you.

845
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:49,920
Right.

846
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,000
I probably think I'm having some sort of fucking Nulara vision.

847
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,560
It's quiet for a moment.

848
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200
The three of you hear Thea fall.

849
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,080
None of you can see anything.

850
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:07,760
Is everyone all right?

851
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,080
I think I fell approximately three feet.

852
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,480
Yes, I am fine.

853
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,800
I, you are all, I cannot see.

854
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,920
You cannot see either?

855
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:17,360
Can't see.

856
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,800
Can't see anything.

857
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,300
Nothing.

858
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,040
I think I turned the lights off with this book.

859
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,960
What book did you get?

860
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:28,080
I don't know.

861
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:29,200
It's red.

862
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,800
It has a snake on it.

863
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,800
You reach around for the book and you can't quite find it.

864
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,200
I lost it.

865
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,840
I lost the book.

866
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,120
Oh, what if it's a book with tiny feet?

867
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,079
Oh, gross, you guys.

868
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,840
Thea has an Amy imagination.

869
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,320
It was a book with a snake on it,

870
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,880
so it'd be extra strange if it had feet.

871
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,160
Yes, that's what would be wrong with this situation.

872
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,280
Thea, thank you.

873
00:40:58,079 --> 00:40:59,440
Can you guys help me find it?

874
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,200
I feel like it may have been important.

875
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,280
You know, you get that feeling and the book you pull off the shelf

876
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,120
blots out the sun.

877
00:41:07,279 --> 00:41:07,519
Yeah.

878
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,759
Yeah, I'll just I'll start feeling around blindly for it.

879
00:41:11,759 --> 00:41:12,559
Whoa, easy.

880
00:41:16,799 --> 00:41:18,960
Everybody just roll a straight d20.

881
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:22,000
Sixteen.

882
00:41:23,759 --> 00:41:24,159
Six.

883
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,480
Why are you rolling like me?

884
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:28,000
I don't know.

885
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,400
It's bad rolls.

886
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,440
That's Amy's thing.

887
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,480
Are you OK?

888
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,079
Is everything all right?

889
00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:32,960
Pause the podcast.

890
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:33,920
Something's wrong with Carla.

891
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:36,159
Eleven for me, Russ.

892
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:39,759
Manic's got 11 as well.

893
00:41:39,759 --> 00:41:41,119
So it's 16.

894
00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:41,619
Yeah.

895
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,920
Yeah, you all begin feeling around kicking around,

896
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,039
you know, however you go about trying to find this book

897
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:50,799
that you presume has fallen to the ground.

898
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:54,639
Thea, you're because you haven't said otherwise,

899
00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:55,599
you're still on the floor,

900
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:57,679
you're kind of crawling around feeling for it,

901
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:01,119
and your finger runs up against what you feel is the book.

902
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:03,039
Oh, guys, I got it.

903
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,839
As you grab it and pick it up,

904
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:11,519
you hear just like a thunk and then light shoots up

905
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:12,800
from down a hallway.

906
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,519
You can see kind of it illuminating down

907
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:19,120
and breaking through the darkness

908
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,720
that's in this room that you're in.

909
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:21,920
Do we all see it?

910
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,720
All of you see this.

911
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:23,220
Yeah.

912
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,280
So the room that previously had no exits

913
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,680
or hallways out of it now has a hallway out of it.

914
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,920
I looked down at the book.

915
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,480
Any title?

916
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,599
Um, it's hard to make out,

917
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:39,840
but no, you don't see a title.

918
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,280
It's in a, it looks like it's,

919
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:48,639
either they're like runes or graphics,

920
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:55,440
but just more a written word that you can't make out

921
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,320
at the very least.

922
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,639
Anyone for going down the creepy lit hallway

923
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:02,880
as opposed to the creepy unlit library?

924
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:04,079
Yes.

925
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:05,599
I feel like we were trapped before

926
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:07,599
and now you have found an exit.

927
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:08,800
Well, let's see.

928
00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:11,440
I don't know where it goes,

929
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,000
but it might be a good idea.

930
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,440
Probably better than just sitting here.

931
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:16,559
Yes.

932
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:18,079
I was about to learn something.

933
00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:18,800
Okay, let's go.

934
00:43:21,519 --> 00:43:22,240
Heaven's forbid.

935
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:23,760
It would be the worst.

936
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,360
No learning in this podcast.

937
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,160
Fuck.

938
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,920
I got a thing against books, apparently.

939
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,420
You do.

940
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,559
The four of you begin to walk down the hallway.

941
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:37,039
You walk towards the light and you walk for a long time.

942
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:39,440
How long?

943
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,679
Well, like 500 miles.

944
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:44,480
500 miles.

945
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,400
And then 500 more.

946
00:43:49,759 --> 00:43:51,840
You walk for several minutes at the very least,

947
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,279
but it doesn't appear that the light

948
00:43:55,279 --> 00:43:58,960
is getting any brighter or less bright.

949
00:43:59,759 --> 00:44:02,000
We're not coming toward a bulb or anything.

950
00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:02,579
Yeah.

951
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,159
Oh, great.

952
00:44:04,159 --> 00:44:05,199
It's an endless hallway.

953
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:09,360
I look down at the book and peruse it

954
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,360
a little more thoroughly now that I can see it.

955
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,119
You flip open the book.

956
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,000
You look at the cover and it's still that red.

957
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,639
I was going to say,

958
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:21,519
well, man, I never said I opened the fucking thing.

959
00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:22,239
Sure. Sorry.

960
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:23,920
Put actions in my mouth.

961
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,800
You look at the cover and the spine

962
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,079
and it is still, from what you can tell,

963
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:34,159
in the weird light that you're experiencing,

964
00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:37,440
a bright red leather.

965
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,079
There's the serpent that runs down the spine

966
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:42,559
and then these, not images,

967
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:46,079
but like scrawlings of something on the front and back.

968
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,360
I lift the book up and I whisper,

969
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:53,039
hey, you magic?

970
00:44:53,039 --> 00:45:02,800
You cast detect magic and there's no aura

971
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,079
that comes off of the book,

972
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,559
which would be surprising.

973
00:45:09,279 --> 00:45:15,360
However, you do get inundated with magic all around you.

974
00:45:17,279 --> 00:45:20,400
Well, that's also not surprising there.

975
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Okay. Everything is magic.

976
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:24,800
We're in a magic flying thing.

977
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,639
Yenbul your magic.

978
00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:31,599
Flint, you have the heart of a lion.

979
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:35,920
You too, Mannix, you're also magic.

980
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:39,679
But this book isn't, so I open it.

981
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,800
You open it and flip through the pages

982
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,599
and they all are an old worn parchment

983
00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:47,199
that appeared to be blank.

984
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:48,960
Oh, God.

985
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,719
Mannix, can you take a look at this?

986
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,200
I'm obviously not worthy enough to read it.

987
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,520
Mannix looks at you and says, obviously.

988
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,640
Takes the book from you and flips through it

989
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,160
and says, I, however, am not worthy either.

990
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,480
Flint, Yenbul, care to take a gander?

991
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,240
I mean, I'll give it a try.

992
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:11,440
I assume we're just walking

993
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,000
and talking through this endless hallway.

994
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,080
Everybody takes a flip through the book

995
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,080
and no one can see any form of writing inside the book.

996
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:21,220
At all.

997
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,480
You walk for another while.

998
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:27,840
Does anybody say anything

999
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,840
or have anything they want to discuss?

1000
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,880
Should we write in the book?

1001
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,520
Or do you think it is invisible ink

1002
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,720
for secret messages?

1003
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,480
I do now.

1004
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,240
I cast reveal.

1005
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,360
No, I don't know if that's a thing.

1006
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,560
I just like to say things.

1007
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,620
Sorry.

1008
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:58,720
As you continue walking, you hear another thunk.

1009
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,560
The light gets very bright all of a sudden,

1010
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,920
like blindingly bright.

1011
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,920
You hear a voice come from all around you

1012
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,880
and it's the voice of Wallace and says,

1013
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,680
you were supposed to wait in the library.

1014
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,160
The library got all dark and stuff.

1015
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:24,079
Well, that is unfortunate.

1016
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,399
But you'd have now entered the master's house,

1017
00:47:28,399 --> 00:47:30,000
his home, his place.

1018
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:32,480
This isn't going to be good.

1019
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,440
This isn't going to be good.

1020
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:34,559
I'm going to have to try and clean this up.

1021
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:37,119
You just wait right where you are.

1022
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,839
I will come find you later.

1023
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:40,339
What?

1024
00:47:40,799 --> 00:47:41,199
Well, no.

1025
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:42,559
Is there somewhere else we could wait?

1026
00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:48,719
Well, and then you hear another thunk.

1027
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:50,240
A good like resting place.

1028
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,480
Then you hear another thunk.

1029
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,360
And you're in a square room.

1030
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:03,040
A little bit bigger than the size of

1031
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,160
that would be comfortable for the four of you to stand.

1032
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,320
Not much room to move around though.

1033
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,160
And it opens into a hallway

1034
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,680
and the hallway is like carved wood,

1035
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,120
like the inside of a tree.

1036
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,720
And about 20 feet down,

1037
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,760
you see reflections down this hallway.

1038
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:27,680
Coming off the walls.

1039
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,760
I mean, I know he told us to stay here,

1040
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,200
but I don't want to stay in this box.

1041
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,060
Agreed.

1042
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,560
Yes, we are here for a mission.

1043
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,560
We should keep trying to press on if we can.

1044
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:43,360
Absolutely.

1045
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,480
The four of you walk down the hall

1046
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:51,119
and it's well lit.

1047
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:56,159
There's no real sign of where the light is coming from,

1048
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,639
but you can see perfectly clear.

1049
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:06,559
You reach the point where you saw the reflections

1050
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:12,639
and you see mirrors on either side of this hallway.

1051
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,760
Further down the hallway,

1052
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,280
you see it kind of bends

1053
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:18,640
and the mirrors follow.

1054
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,760
What do I see when I come up and look into one of the mirrors?

1055
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,800
You see an image of yourself in this first mirror.

1056
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,160
But something about it is very different.

1057
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:45,600
You see an image of yourself in white robes sitting in prayer.

1058
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:49,199
In the middle of a temple of sorts.

1059
00:49:50,799 --> 00:49:52,719
Candles lit all around.

1060
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:55,759
You look peaceful.

1061
00:50:01,199 --> 00:50:06,960
Maybe these mirrors show a nicer place than being here.

1062
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:11,279
Uh, what do I see in the mirror?

1063
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:16,480
Yen Bull, do you walk up to the same mirror or a different mirror?

1064
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:17,360
Maybe a different one.

1065
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,280
You walk up to one on the opposite side of the hallway

1066
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,120
and you look in and you see an image of yourself

1067
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,720
standing in full armored regalia

1068
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:35,120
at the face of the entire army of Kalamshan.

1069
00:50:35,119 --> 00:50:41,679
You are calling to them, beckoning to them,

1070
00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:49,039
raising their spirits to fight an unknown enemy on the other side.

1071
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,359
You are leading the country's army

1072
00:50:56,639 --> 00:50:59,440
in what looks like the fight for the country's life.

1073
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:04,720
Is there another mirror that they haven't looked at yet?

1074
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:07,039
Uh, the mirrors go all the way down the hall.

1075
00:51:08,159 --> 00:51:08,960
Oh, all right.

1076
00:51:10,639 --> 00:51:11,599
I'll try a new one.

1077
00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:14,559
As you walk past Yen Bull and Thea,

1078
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:17,920
so we'll say that they're right across from each other, left and right.

1079
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,679
Do I see these same things in their mirrors as I walk by?

1080
00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:24,320
As you walk by, you look into their mirrors.

1081
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,599
In the first one that Thea is looking into,

1082
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,000
you see an image of yourself.

1083
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:32,799
You're old, older.

1084
00:51:34,639 --> 00:51:37,360
Your beard and hair has grayed completely.

1085
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,599
You're seated at home in an armchair by a fire

1086
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,279
and you're reading.

1087
00:51:48,319 --> 00:51:49,839
Am I reading a story called

1088
00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:52,799
The Wonderful Tale of How Flint Destroyed a Lich?

1089
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,440
Can't quite make out the title.

1090
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:02,880
In the mirror that Yen Bull is looking into,

1091
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,360
if you kind of look back and forth,

1092
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,960
you see a different image of yourself.

1093
00:52:10,319 --> 00:52:16,079
You see one where you are moving through the woods.

1094
00:52:16,799 --> 00:52:18,319
You're trying to track something.

1095
00:52:19,119 --> 00:52:21,199
You're surrounded by a few others.

1096
00:52:21,839 --> 00:52:23,679
You don't recognize their faces.

1097
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:28,240
You're following large footprints.

1098
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:32,880
You have on you a bow and arrow and a small hatchet.

1099
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,560
Do you stop at either of those or do you keep walking?

1100
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,400
No, I'm going to keep walking.

1101
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,760
You walk to the next mirror.

1102
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,440
You appear to be back in Mithril Hall.

1103
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,320
You're leaning over a bench.

1104
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:53,280
You're working hard on something.

1105
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,960
It looks like small metal gears.

1106
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,800
You're putting them together.

1107
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,840
Off in the corner, you see your sister and your father

1108
00:53:05,519 --> 00:53:08,000
working on something very similar.

1109
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,080
What do you think these mirrors are showing us?

1110
00:53:13,519 --> 00:53:14,320
I don't know.

1111
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:21,040
This is me at the head of the army.

1112
00:53:21,039 --> 00:53:23,440
Not...

1113
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,440
Is that something you wish for?

1114
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:26,639
No.

1115
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,199
At this time, at this moment, I would like to fight for my country,

1116
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:44,159
for my city, but I have never desired to be a leader of the army.

1117
00:53:45,599 --> 00:53:47,759
Yenbul, I assume you turn and address Thea?

1118
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:49,119
Yeah.

1119
00:53:49,679 --> 00:53:51,519
As you turn, you're looking over her shoulder.

1120
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:53,279
You see a different image of yourself.

1121
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,679
You're dressed in all black clothing.

1122
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:00,400
It looks like it's nighttime.

1123
00:54:01,359 --> 00:54:07,039
You and another figure are breaking into a building.

1124
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,719
Silently, you move in and it looks like you're moving

1125
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,279
towards some sort of safe or chest in the back of this room.

1126
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:27,279
These images keep kind of replaying a specific five or 10 second scene.

1127
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:31,519
And we can see each other's?

1128
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:35,440
Like, can I see what Thea is seeing or just my own image of me?

1129
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,279
You only see images of yourself.

1130
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:38,239
Right.

1131
00:54:40,639 --> 00:54:45,920
I wonder if these are just lies or things that will come to pass

1132
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,280
or things we want.

1133
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:53,680
Well, here now, I am a thief.

1134
00:54:53,680 --> 00:55:01,599
I'm breaking in to steal something and that is not something that I want or that I would do.

1135
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,440
Maybe they're just meant to distract us and keep us here looking at ourselves.

1136
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,639
Mannix has walked past the three of you and is looking at the mirrors as well,

1137
00:55:14,639 --> 00:55:22,879
and you see them stop on one mirror and they're standing there, like, locked in gaze.

1138
00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:29,920
And they reach up their hand as if trying to move to touch the mirror.

1139
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:35,920
Mannix, buddy, are you okay?

1140
00:55:37,039 --> 00:55:38,079
Mannix, what do you see?

1141
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,400
I see my daughter.

1142
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:57,519
Leon, she died years ago, but she's there with me.

1143
00:55:59,279 --> 00:56:01,599
I look different.

1144
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,079
I have long hair.

1145
00:56:09,359 --> 00:56:13,519
I look more like a tracker.

1146
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:24,559
Maybe these are showing us different lives.

1147
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:27,839
We could have lived different paths had we chosen differently.

1148
00:56:31,759 --> 00:56:33,759
Do I know anything about special mirrors?

1149
00:56:35,359 --> 00:56:39,359
You know, I used to work in a library in special mirrors.

1150
00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:43,199
Yeah, I've read Harry Potter a lot of times.

1151
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:44,800
Is this like a mirror of Arasad?

1152
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,240
Just curious.

1153
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,760
No, you don't know specifically anything about these sorts of mirrors.

1154
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,440
How long would you say that you have stood there watching these images roll by?

1155
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,000
I mean, probably not more than 30 seconds for mine.

1156
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,280
It's an old man reading a book.

1157
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,040
Yeah, and if it's only showing, it's like a GIF basically, right?

1158
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,120
It's like showing us like a couple of sections.

1159
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:11,920
That's fair, yeah.

1160
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:18,320
Yeah, just no more than I think a couple minutes in total talking about them and looking.

1161
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:19,600
Yeah.

1162
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:27,680
You stand there and as you kind of address Mannix, they say,

1163
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:35,600
It's been so long since I've seen her.

1164
00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:49,199
Here, Leona, my daughter, she died, but here, her face is bright.

1165
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:55,039
And they reach their hand up and touch the mirror.

1166
00:57:55,039 --> 00:58:07,440
Mannix, I'm sorry, I know what it means to lose a loved one,

1167
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:13,119
and I can't imagine how you feel seeing them again, but I don't think we can stop here.

1168
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,599
Mannix puts their hand down and looks to you and says,

1169
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:22,800
What do you mean lost a loved one?

1170
00:58:25,039 --> 00:58:32,719
And as the words leave your lips, there's a switch in your brain.

1171
00:58:34,239 --> 00:58:39,199
Memories flood back of Mannix talking about Leona and going on these adventures

1172
00:58:39,199 --> 00:58:42,079
and going to visit Leona's father.

1173
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:47,679
You forget why you asked that question.

1174
00:58:55,119 --> 00:59:01,039
The intro song Nowhere Land is by Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

1175
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,239
All other music and sound effects can be found at epidemicsound.com.

1180
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,480
Thank you for listening. Have a great week. We'll talk soon.

1181
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:36,880
You know where health patrons can see Russ be a crybaby?

1182
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,480
There's the blooper. No more bloopers.

1183
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:44,800
Good luck with that.

1184
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:45,519
Yeah.

1185
00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:46,559
My name is Nulara.

1186
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,800
I was not expecting that.

1187
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,920
Well, she had a bit of a moment, panicked.

1188
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,039
She's thinking about Nulara a lot lately, okay?

1189
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,279
Manix speaks up and says, I am Manix.

1190
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,199
Oh, we're giving our real names?

1191
01:00:04,159 --> 01:00:06,880
I mean, saying you're Nulara isn't going to help it.

1192
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,440
Nulara was still a decimator of dragons.

1193
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,480
Shit, well, I didn't know.

1194
01:00:11,279 --> 01:00:12,719
No, you're Nulara now.

1195
01:00:12,719 --> 01:00:17,199
Now, all of this crosstalk has been cut. You are Nulara now. Stick with it.

1196
01:00:17,199 --> 01:00:23,039
Don't get many visitors, but when I do get to show off the fine minutia.

1197
01:00:23,039 --> 01:00:24,000
Nope, gonna sneeze.

1198
01:00:27,119 --> 01:00:28,400
Fuck, it's gone.

1199
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:28,880
Oh, no.

1200
01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:32,079
Stare into the light.

1201
01:00:32,079 --> 01:00:32,880
Oh, damn it.

1202
01:00:34,079 --> 01:00:36,880
We don't get many visitors, right?

1203
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,559
We don't get many listeners.

1204
01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:49,119
Wallace and the Joy of the Surprises in the Bathroom.

1205
01:00:49,119 --> 01:00:50,880
I see his own spin-off book.

1206
01:00:52,239 --> 01:00:53,279
Sounds like a children's book.

1207
01:00:53,279 --> 01:00:54,000
A little how-to.

1208
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,920
Episode title, Surprises in the Bathroom.

1209
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,440
I also like that Russ prefaced this episode with,

1210
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,039
this is a big episode, and so far we've visited a library in a bathroom.

1211
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:12,000
It's true. You teed it up pretty big, but we're spending a lot of time in the bathroom.

1212
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,719
Well, this Wallace guy is just such a charmer.

1213
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:19,039
I want to go and look specifically for, like,

1214
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,840
a biography or perhaps an autobiography of Shang...

1215
01:01:24,639 --> 01:01:25,440
Shangalar.

1216
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:26,000
Galar.

1217
01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:27,679
Now say it again.

1218
01:01:27,679 --> 01:01:28,719
Shangalar.

1219
01:01:28,719 --> 01:01:30,000
Now say it in sentence.

1220
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,679
I would like to go see if there's a biography or autobiography on Shangarlar.

1221
01:01:36,639 --> 01:01:37,519
Shangarlar.

1222
01:01:39,199 --> 01:01:40,000
What is it?

1223
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,440
Shangalar.

1224
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,679
I would like to see if there's an autobiography or biography on Shangalar.

1225
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:48,239
Yeah, that's good.

1226
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:49,120
Shangalar.

1227
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:49,760
Shangalar.

1228
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,040
It's a hard name for me.

1229
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,240
Welcome to the middle. This is actually Amy's Gardening Channel.

1230
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,360
All of your gardening questions are answered here,

1231
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,680
such as the germination rate and when you get to pick your radishes.

1232
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:04,400
Back to you, Russ.

1233
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,960
Thanks, Amy. Now on the field, we've got Facing Fate.

1234
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,440
Go long, Facing Fate!

1235
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,560
Go long, Facing Fate!

1236
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:13,600
What is happening?

1237
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:16,720
I don't know where we are anymore.

1238
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,200
Can someone tell me about Facing Fate?

1239
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,480
Do we feel like this is going well or should we start again?

1240
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,120
No, we're good?

1241
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,040
Yeah, no, this is just for them today.

1242
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:30,000
I feel like we just need to bring it back to step one where we should have started.

1243
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:30,640
Okay, cool.

1244
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,880
Hey, we have another show. You may have heard us mention it.

1245
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,560
It's called Facing Fate.

1246
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,760
I feel like I've just turned around a chair and flipped my hat backwards.

1247
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,600
You're going to give some real talk about Facing Fate.

1248
01:02:43,599 --> 01:02:48,400
Dumbgeons & Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
