as you slow your pace where there's a slab of jet black stone that sits at the center of this

cavern alcove its sides show relief carvings of familiar old faces you look at them a little

more closely and they're your own faces i uh don't remember sitting for this but like they

did a really good job with us in a flash you're in a stone walled hallway another hallway how

refreshing are we all here we look around are we all there i'm here hurry hurry you gotta go

to you like today's patron lee wilson yay thanks lee thanks lee thank you for not

jumping in and saving me everybody no that was sometimes we just like to watch you drown a

little it's like you were you were going somewhere and just were building in pregnant pauses

for effect i thought maybe you put yourself in a word maze and you were trying to get out

i feel like sometimes we have to be those mama birds that are just like okay time to fly

and they either fly or they don't yeah well i got so lee if you stopped listening before

you heard your if you showed out i'm so sorry so sorry but it's there so just skip back 15

the four of you find yourselves having just seen your friend donnie flying soaring speedily

careening towards you holy fuck guys i thought i'd never see you again oh my god donnie is it

really you and i bend down and i and i gather him in my arms and i start checking him over

you save you have you been are you okay is anyone hurt you no well i mean it's malnutrition uh

a little starvation uh mental uh terror you take your pick but otherwise great other than that how

hey thea you see this person that is talking to me the yeah is it's real

mm-hmm okay yeah she's real and this other one oh mannex yes yes mannex oh cool good

so you acknowledge their presence i've even seen people well um you've been alone

well except for when i'm being chased who took you uh well see there was a flash yeah i

remember the flash yeah we all got thrown you was you was all gone i didn't see anybody

i was i was out of the forest it was it was cold and dark and i heard i heard this laughter

kind of kind of sounded like real not like fun laughter like they're watching the play

you know that remember that one cat play that came through town everybody was really laughing at

it because it was so gosh darn good oh yeah yeah that was that was great yeah little little

knoll on the prairie i think is what it was anyways uh no this was like evil laughter but

it sounded familiar it sounded like you know that uh the guy we met down in the in the crazy

with the brains and the pieces and bits uh-huh it's kind of sounded like him like thelonious

primsbane oh that's the name that's the name yeah you know yeah brains and jars and stuff yeah

shit anyway he he started into this diatribe that ended with like run run as fast as you

can don't get caught or you'll be dead in a flash at i i i called him out on his rhyming

scheme and then he sent some undead after me uh so he didn't seem to like that um but real

uh i ran like he said and every once in a while i'll see a flash of lightning and then laughter

again and it's been like this for a while i don't know how long exactly i've been here

oh you poor thing how long have have you we i how long um i mean it's been it's been a while

well we looked for you pretty hard at the start but there was just no sign

but we never gave up hope we actually had people working to try to find you mystically

using magic i i had no idea we'd find you in a floating pyramid i would have i would have

brought your collar yeah yeah because you're just itty bitty now hey um it's just a little tired

come here and i open up my bag my satchel he uh flies in and like collapses inside of your

bed oh there are snacks in there he's unconscious yeah seemingly you must be so happy to have

found your friend i know you have missed him so much you have mentioned it and he has been

missing for so long it's a little bittersweet though i mean how is this all gonna go down

if if i mean yes i'm happy to have him back of course but we are in just the most dangerous

place we could possibly be and now if primsbane has his hand in this if he's working with

the lich oh i i'm not like i'm not giving up hope or anything obviously super positive

that everything's gonna be fine um so the genus are that you talked to did they give you

like a timeline or just kind of can't remember don't know how long we've been in here you

know time seems to be just a construct at this point yes i don't know can you tell me about this

primsbane he said brains in jars and undead and the undead part makes it seem like

perhaps he and the lich would be friends

let's let us hope not yeah no he's a really bad dude super handsome though gotta give it

to him um he is an um he's an elf wizard and that guy's got some crazy power and he's just

like fucking crazy so but we know his one weakness he is very bad at rhymes

that's right we could maybe taunt him i'm not sure how that could help us but perhaps

uh maybe thea could challenge him to a rap battle

that's right i'll start thinking up some some sick rhymes really fool that a-hole

i will write a rap later

ahead of you down this hallway there's nothing behind you uh it is a torch lit

hallway that looks like it tees off at the end which is where you saw donnie zipping across

as you're talking the uh out of the corner of your eye you see a flash of a figure

down at the end of the hallway running down the top of the t

uh not back where we came not running down towards the top of the t but not running

it's uh floating and orb-like you see a glinting eye staring back at you

and that clicking that you heard echoes down the hallway is it like a baby beholder or a big

beholder big beholder the big beholder um oh hey hi you you're still here you you are here

to help for buxy doesn't say anything and they turn and move to the right of the t and disappear

um perhaps that is the way we should go i think so yeah something seems wrong though

why why wouldn't they say anything i want to slowly peek around the corner

i just want to run around the corner and slowly peek around the corner you walk down the hallway

and approach the corner is it just you peeking around or are you three stooges in it oh three

stooges obviously i mean four stooges there's four of us manix is down there is very small

sure yeah um okay the four of you peek your head around the corner

and you see the torch lit hallway which continues uh but before you you see a dead end

about 25 feet down you look to the left and another dead end

but we don't see for buxy you don't see for buxy i like whisper into the dead end

for buxy it just echoes back off the stone in front of you my whisper echoes back dang

yeah it's too loud it's echoey got crazy acoustics in this dead end do you think maybe

there's um like a secret brick we can touch a passageway uh maybe this isn't actually a

dead end maybe it's just a an illusion yes this must be true i have heard about

mazes where along the walls if you feel your way you will find a hole in the maze that you

cannot see that could have been the way out all along but instead you are actually just

trying to get out by using logic yes i have heard of such a place

well um we don't have anything to lose i mean donnie came from down here yes

have come from somewhere i'd ask him but he's totally snoozing he needs to sleep

keep can i roll a perception check to see if i can perceive anything

probably investigation for anybody wanting to investigate their current situation

investigate the current situation i would love to not investigate my current situation with my

four seven hmm all right let's no it's dead ends guys there's nowhere to go

the crit fail so mannex mannex rolled an 18 this is why we keep an NPC around with

just in case you need to find a plot point tom get your own roles well sorry amy

okay i'll let it go this time um okay crit fail tom okay yep got it uh okay the three

of you are like patting the walls trying to find a brick or stone or something to depress or turn

or whatever uh so focused on the dead end ahead of you um you mannex walks back down the hallway

and is looking for other things and gets to the t and calls you three over hey uh

uh come come take a look at this yes what do you see it looks like a map you walk over

and you see very faint and worn etched into the stone right at the end of the

hallway that you walk down to get to this t is a worn down map and it looks like the pathway

of the tunnels that you are in uh there is a star at the end of a long straight hallway

teeing off to dead ends on either side so it's like a you are here this is our mall

map the you are here can i take out a couple pieces of parchment or scroll or whatever i have

and a piece of charcoal and rub this making itching yes sure rub this out can i can i rub

one out episode title can i rub this out see you in the middle of this wants to just rub

one out guys it's stressful just need a moment look away don't look at me

no keep direct eye contact it's going to be extreme yeah fair enough okay um yeah absolutely

so you pull out a a piece of paper and charcoal or something as you touch the wall

Yenbul flint and mannex you see thea disappear

thea you touch the wall and immediately have an orgasm sure and immediately have an orgasm but

also uh you rub the the chalk or charcoal along the paper turn around and see that your friends

are gone however above you where there was stone it is open you see elongated versions of your

friends looking down at you almost like i'm seeing them through a glass ceiling that's also

📢 Mid-roll Ad Break

a funhouse mirror and they're very huge um Yenbul flint and mannex uh you see on the map

there is now beside the star a tiny image of thea oh she has she has been pulled into the map

but how how would that even work i don't know what is a magical flying

castle what are you talking about how would that work oh you know what fair point

how does any of this work after a moment you hear stone movement down towards either end of

the hallway and two doorways open up and on the map you see passageways start to form

on the etched in map do passageways form in my version of this weird hallway yes they do

you see you hear the stone grinding and then look down both sides where there was a dead end

when you looked but did not see your friends now you see two open passageways

okay beyond it on the map the passageways extend but then fade off i i yell up at them

uh hey you don't hear thea

yeah i look at my bag do i still have donnie yep you have all of your content still with

you including donnie okay well i think thea disappeared when she touched the wall

i think we should all stay together yes yeah i mean that's it's probably good idea for this

weird pyramid castle flying magic place we're in so yeah let's let's go find her

yes let's touch the wall as well i'm going to touch the map okay uh everybody touches the map

yeah you all touch the map and the instant you do uh you are standing beside thea

you see um the same illusion of like outstretched uh structures outside and

you see your friends as you each one like yeah i assume Yenbul goes first you see flint and

manix flint goes you see manix and manix uh touches it and follows him behind oh you guys

found me i feel like i'm tiny or are you guys really big no it was likely me i'm i'm

tiny but now we're tiny you think we have shrunk well i don't know and i gesture with

my head up to the glass ceiling of giantness but doorways huh and i point to the left and the

right did this happen in big world yes the stone moved yes okay well um maybe we go down

one of them and we should go right where if a boxy went i think so sounds as good as any choice

let's do it okay let's go wait hold on is this where we want to be or should we try touching

the map again and getting back up to normal land i mean i don't know i don't know i also

don't know i don't want to get i don't want to get to a certain part and it'd be like

oh this is as far as you can go shadow land mirror world person um i'm gonna touch the map

again i want to see what happens if i just go back to the other side okay so what are you

doing to try and get back to the other side just gonna touch the touch the map again uh you

touch the map that's on the wall and nothing happens all right well that answers that question

um let's go to the right yes it appears we have made our decision um you did describe

it as a glass ceiling but there is no actual glass above oh yes no it is just you can see

that there is a mirror image almost of what's down here yeah sorry folks no glass

um okay so you're heading down to the right yeah yes for if you begin to walk

down to the right in the direction uh where you saw for buxy go um and as you take a few steps

from your current location the stone walls begin to close in on either side that's not good

like we're in a trash compactor on a spaceship sorry no just like they're just like they're

resealing actively moving they're just getting smaller not moving but like closing up the

doors that just opened i see yeah okay oh can we run for it

make a text or athletics or acrobatics are you running just just by yourself okay

cool no no let's go i'm like let's go if the door is closing i want to try and get

through the door athletics he said 19 okay i'm so fast so fast uh 15 22 oh wow well i have a plus

10 so really it wasn't that great uh the faster you run the faster they close and by the time

you get to them they are closed are we just trapped in a passageway with no

no exits cool um maybe we go stand by the map again yes perhaps it goes um three two one on the

timer maybe i mean it was just open for the whole time we had this conversation and then just

started to close so i walked back over to the map yeah me too uh the four of you walk back

the four of you walk back over to the map uh and they remain closed i touch the map

nothing happens i knock on the map nothing i take a piece of paper out and i etch another

you have another etching up the map cool but i'm on this one this time

yeah we're on this one now right you can see up and out you look around you can see up

and out and into the big world uh but there are no egresses can i make an investigation check to

see what the frick is around me i will also 19 oh investigating the shit out of this place

you are mine's only a 12 uh okay yeah with a 19 you get the feeling that you could climb up

the walls oh i just get i just get a feeling okay well you're not actively climbing you're

investigating right no but i mean okay so i'm looking and i see like there are like

notches that'd be good for hand holds or do i put my hand on and i'm like yes like spider

man no you could you could climb up to the open ceiling okay um hey you guys uh i think

we might be able to get back up there if we and i put my foot on one foot hold and grab a hand

up and start to scale the wall you climb up um by yourself everybody's just watching thea at

the moment maybe what's this crazy girl doing i was like ready to catch her if she fell sure

thanks when spotting thea you climb up and as you reach up and pull yourself up to the top

of this wall um you are shot out and back you're now looking back at the map and you see

three figures on the map oh and i can't see my friends anymore uh no you see them tiny figures

drawn on the wall right but not around me as you exit the map the doorways begin to open back

up should we just go for the doorway or should we wait for her to come back oh because the

doorway opened down in tiny world also it did yes or do we all head up and then go for the doorway

i don't like the idea of us separating no i don't either so but we need to

we either need to get her back or all go up there because we need to be together

i i don't think i hear this conversation you don't do i i was like what's thea doing

thea's like waiting and looking and being like you're not they're not fucking coming

oh my oh my god you just see three uh images of your friends kind of just roughly scared i

figure like like mario the original mario characters like moving big arms and legs um

just kind of flipping back and forth as if they're discussing something with each other

um well we know if we are all down here we cannot go to door i suppose we could all go up

there and see if we can get the door or maybe we just waited too long last time before we went

but yeah let's go up and we'll see if we're waiting if we're able to go over there then

let's go quickly damn it we did it again i spider-man like thea did up the wall yes me too

everybody follows and is sucked out into the big world the real world um and as uh the the four

of you set foot into this you hear the stones closing again ah no no run run no no no run

faster you run the faster i think it's a little late what took you guys so long up here like

an asshole just like standing by myself i go back to the map and i touch it again russ

uh flint is back inside the map i also run and touch it

goes back inside the map well i mean did it open the doors again when i did that or when flint

goes back inside the map the doors do open again okay yeah then yeah i'll follow too and then i

immediately start walking in an leisurely pace toward the door not waiting just being like

okay so flint and yen bull are inside manix and thea are out or no no i've also touched the map

and then as soon as i get down there i'm walking to the start heading for that door manix

follows lead and follows behind the three of you and as the fourth one of you gets back

into the map the doors begin to close again faster you run the faster they uh all right

one of us has to not be we have we have solved the problem a little bit

okay who wants should we just split two and two should we i don't think there should just be

one person all alone that seems rather shitty also not it i mean i can do it if need be

but i'm happy to go with someone too yes i see what you're saying yes it makes sense two and

two and we will both in in large world and timey world go towards the right as teams of two

okay and if we are if we are if we find ourselves faced with a choice again

choose to go right okay how about that and then hopefully we will be going in the same

direction the whole time

all right manix uh you and me up top and we'll we'll leave these two here all right so we are in

tiny world you folks are going back up yep okay um then i i hope we will see you soon

i give i give flint a hug oh sure yeah hug hug as well i guess i reciprocate you return the

hug you know just stand there i returned sir let me roll for hug here oh failed failed miserably

it's oh cool you just did you just like wiggled back and forth just not completely

unresponsive flint and manix you climb back up and out you see the two images of yen bull

and thea thea and yen bull you see elongated outstretched flint and manix the tallest flint

is ever gonna look hey you're damn right manix too well as we start to make our way

towards the door rust does anything happen this time the door remains open all right

nonchAlydintly yen bull let's not scare it closed yes we won't run then it goes quicker

let's just walk at a normal pace flint and manix as you two begin to walk towards the

door you see the map begin to follow along with you inside you see your friends big arms big legs

moving alongside following with you does our map follow us yes your map follows along with

okay somebody roll me a d8 no it's not gonna be me okay i don't want to be responsible

straight up refusal i don't want to be responsible for what happens because of this

that is a three oh that's my favorite number you're walking for a while taking always rights

yeah so just in circles it's not a right it's a wrong okay that's how we remember it

you're walking for a while and taking always rights any chance you get the map continually

following beside flint and manix all four of you you hear like a is a long dark hallway

ahead of you and as you as you walk down the hallways the darkness fades the closer you get

and torches illuminate like this map or this these tunnels are bringing themselves into view

it feels like just beyond this darkness you hear like this low groaning and like soft

patted feet strike the stone just outside of you uh yen bull do you hear that yes i do it sounds

like a large creature do we are so small what if it is just a normal size creature

doesn't matter does it flint and manix you hear this too up up in your own area okay flint

and manix you see yen bull and thea stop for a moment turn to each other big arms

what if we use this and i take out a potion

and it is passed without a trace sure it's happening it's not invisibility so you remember

oh right it's not never mind i mean you can use it if you want to but it's not it's just a hallway

with no like things

your call though um

well maybe we can befriend it like we like we did the beholder yes perhaps just because it

is a creature it does not mean it is evil perhaps it is also being held here against

its will okay um well let's go forward carefully um with friendship in our hearts yes

up with flint and manix i wonder what they're talking about do you hear that sound too yeah i'm

i'm not really sure what it is but we we better get ready i think okay meanwhile we're

like friendship in our hearts and flint is like get your weapons ready all four of you

see the others begin to move again on the map and you move forward and as you walk forward

the the groaning gets louder and begins to echo off the walls and ahead of you illuminated

by torches you see first you see like a long cloak that extends down to the ground the light

moves up and it's a deep hooded figure with hands that are dark like gray mottled gray

they don't look quite human yeah you can't quite place them like they're not reptilian

they're not human they're not mammalian they begin to raise their hands to their hood

hello if we can see them i assume they can see us yeah i mean yeah i assume that we're facing

the front not the back yeah yeah you see like the deep recessed hood so you don't see a face

or anything beyond it um it's just shadow as they're raising their hands to their hood you

say hello they go to raise their hood make a constitution saving throw as their face becomes

clear and it's gaunt and you see dark deep recessed eyes and a long jaw that extends down

and opens a long slithering tongue rolls out of their mouth slime sloughs down their skin

it's a 22 for my con roll 17 for mine which is okay don't feel like it's good enough

uh 17 for mine as well as this creature uses its withering gaze on the four of you you each

take 11 necrotic damage dang son roll for initiative i say it's like the stare my mother

would give to me when i when i told her i didn't want to take over the family business

uh 10 19 12 keski's pass flint

uh the creature ahead of you do i know this creature make a you can you

druidic wise you can tell it it's undead well yeah i mean pretty much everything you run

into this thing ain't alive guys um but roll nature or or arcana would probably

whichever you prefer 18 you recognize it you've maybe heard stories or read broken passages of

an undead creature named the bodak bodak horseman um and it's uh it has a

um a gaze that if looked upon can instantly kill a creature oh

welcome to the middle hey it's me just me yeah well you know when you edit late and

everybody else goes to bed uh it's it's just me that's okay i just wanted to talk to you i

just wanted to have you to myself in this moment and uh you know just get to know how

how things are going with you hopefully you're doing well i really wish the best for you right

and beyond the story there's so much to be thankful for and a large part of it is thanks

to you so i hope you have a great day i hope you have a great week i hope you have a great

rest of your year uh take time for yourself be it listening to podcasts reading books

playing video games going for a run whatever you do find time for it because it's very easy

as we are all super busy and super consumed with media and twitter and facebook and all

of that sort of stuff to forget to take time for you so here's here's here's here's the

challenge take 10 minutes today any 10 minutes at any point in the day do something for

enjoyment i mean you're listening to a podcast right now hopefully that's the case

but unplug put your phone away read a book go for a walk tomorrow maybe do 15 minutes

a day after that try for 20 until you get to a point when maybe you can do an hour that'd be

pretty cool maybe you're already doing this and then fantastic but if if you need a little

encouragement hopefully that's what this is know that you are loved and that you are

appreciated now let's get you back to the story have a great week we'll talk soon

📢 Mid-roll Ad Break

again well don't don't look at it

i drop my gaze to the ground okay i also do if you if you look at it it can kill you

it's a boat it's a bodak i i read about it in the libraries um ditch uh don't like we're

gonna have to not look at this and fight it because i don't i don't think that i think this

thing wants to be here if you want to figure out what this is flint you can roll uh i said

nature or arcana all right or see if you know about it i mean neither one of those are super

great but i still have some bonuses so i mean it would make sense if you didn't but uh

yeah 15 you you would have heard tales of a creature that reminds you of this

but they were all like children's stories of creatures with a gaze that could injure

or harm you thea you're up first oh i am neat okay uh okay uh let's see what kind of spells

i have where i don't need to actually look at anything if it doesn't say a creature you can see

if it just says within range is it a spell attack yeah you roll with disadvantage if you're

not looking oh i'm gonna eldritch blast at disadvantage yeah 14 it goes wide and cracks

into the stone beside it damn it uh okay fine uh what if i try to hit it with my oath bow

at disadvantage because i'm not looking yeah i whisper with death to those who have wronged me

and oh 14 the arrow goes wide flint and manox you see cracks form as out of the corner of

your eye you see like sparks shoot from what you presume to be thea's character in this and

cracks begin to form on the stone where these things hit is manox's turn they

at the beginning of their turn don't look away uh so they have to make a constitution saving

throw we haven't had an NPC die in a long time flint you see manox stumbles and holds their head

tight and like corrects themselves and uh holds their mace and slams it down into the ground

trying to turn undead uh which doesn't work so a beam of light ripples through the hallway

and you see a faint aura Yenbul and thea within your hallway move towards this creature and like

wind gusts at its cloak and nothing happens to it flint um how visible were those cracks ross

you mentioned uh it's like something just struck into so not like it's something's cracking or

damaging but like something struck into it and like chipped off part of the stone

oh okay well now i'm very curious about that yeah happened at the same time you saw it or your

periphery sparks come from thea's character on the map okay um but if you don't intentionally

look away from this creature i need you to make a constitution saving throw okay uh yeah

i probably noticed what happened to manox but didn't really understand why or how

so i will roll a constitution saving throw uh that is a 19 you take no damage as you do

what you want to do the creature locks eyes with you and i point at my two eyes and i say i'm the

captain now as i stroll forward with my axe in hand okay go for it all right first attack

21 that will hit second attack 24 yep third attack 17 uh also will hit oh uh as you as you

step forward uh this is unrelated to the constitution saving throw um but you're going

to take five necrotic damage as you step in you feel like this withering effect okay all

right so all three attacks hit you got it roll some damage all right let's do this

uh 16 and 11 is 27 followed by another 12 so 39 magic slashing damage three huge strikes

uh crush into this creature um and

yen bull and thea you see gashes show up across its cloak and cut into its flesh

mirror world flint is there anything else you want to do uh nope no that'll be

that'll be about it for me okay thea has a strange urge to nickname flint captain now and

she's just not sure why uh Yenbul is your uh i am going to channel divinity turn undead

i'm going to speak a prayer centering the undead needs to make a wisdom saving throw

the problem this thing is dumb as shit right uh 13 that is good for me uh if the creature

fails its saving throw it is turned for one minute until it takes any damage a turn creature

must spend its turn trying to move as far away from you as it can and it can't willingly move

to a space within 30 feet of you it also can't take reactions for its action it can only use

dash or try to escape an effect that prevents it from moving there's nowhere to move the

creature can use dodge okay so it's got a turn on its turn and get away there's more okay

but wait um if you order now in the next 10 minutes when an undead fails its

saving throw against your turn undead feature the creature is instantly destroyed if its

challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold which this almost certainly isn't

but what if it is what if it is what is the threshold what is my level 16 so challenge

rating of three or lower oh it's higher than that would have been super cool totally imagine

okay that's uh all for your turn yes neither of you yen bull or thea took any step towards it

you just cast from no yeah okay we are spell casters we do not go near the creatures

okay flint you take these three strikes in and then there's this like

aura that washes over the area and the creature in front of you turns and begins to walk away

allowing you an opportunity attack oh all right let's do that oh we're gonna fuck it up don't

smile you bitch do i i just roll damage it automatically hits uh you have to roll to it

okay yeah because you could get so excited that you miss just be like trap or something

sure i could yeah yeah yeah um it was an 18 before bonuses so i'm sure it's fine

you know what it hits i guess it's really 31 just for you this time yeah the nice nice dm

doing yes solid all right and that is 17 damage all right describe what everyone sees when you

destroy this creature well thank god because otherwise it would have come at us um i guess

i just as it's like turning to walk away from me i take like one big step and just like plant

my axe and like it's back do you yell don't you walk away from me or anything like that

yeah give us a cool line oh geez now i'm on the spot for a cool line i can cut amy's

you can have don't you walk away from me or i wasn't finished with you

i'm the captain now just keep saying that we're not done here i like it yeah so the creature

another huge gash latches into its back that yimbal and thea see and it falls to the ground

and for you two it fades into the stone for flint and manix it remains in front of you

you this mysterious i thought theirs would have faded into the stone and ours would

have stayed yeah we're not in a real world uh can i go over to the wall where those like

cracks maybe showed up sure and just like feel around and see if i can like determine whether

or not that was like an optical illusion or a real thing sure yeah i mean yeah give me an

investigation role at advantage because there's no pressing i mean guys it's real nice when there's

no pressing issues the first one was a 21 second one was a nine so we'll go with the 21

21 yeah you go over and um there's they're definitely real cracks like it

like something caused real damage to it and it even has like this bit of like residue on

there which is reminiscent of thea's eldritch blast smells like my perfume

you're like chanel number five i ask manix if i can borrow their mace for a quick sec

they yeah yeah yeah here and i don't want to wreck your own weapons strike the wall with it

well i mean a mace is a pretty good crushing tool and axe not as much okay yeah you hit

the wall and strike into it the stone crumbles a little bit below

Yenbul and thea you see stone like crack and like drop to the ground

i've been fighting with him for a long time i know what his flashes look like

i think it's flint i mean you can see him flint what do you do oh right we can see

him doing this oh yes oh i don't see any like visual representation of them of them of my little

tiny friends with big arms and big legs do you know what do you think we're like pumping our

fists so like you don't see them like in the hallway with you yeah like i don't i like there's

no hole for me to look through and like see them down there i am sorry i understand what

you're asking yes uh no you don't see you know you don't see through the stone like it's just

deeper the stone just goes deeper um but yeah no you don't see them except for the tiny

images of them on the map on the wall Yenbul do you have a dagger or anything

oh actually you know what here and i grab my uh i grab an arrow and i go over to the wall

where the smash happened um and i carve in high flint all right 20 minutes later i did it fast

okay you carve in high flint and you hear the sound of like hooves hitting the stone ahead

of you and snarling and grunting and you turn and you see glowing eyes all four of you down

your respective hallways glowing eyes and like smoke billowing from these nostrils that are

flaring as a skeleton minotaur charges out towards you
