I'm hoping it's a first. 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Well, because Russ looked awfully confused. 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,040 Oh, I got it. I was just letting it linger. 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,879 There's no video evidence to prove that you did. 87 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:48,000 So that's true. 88 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,560 Exactly. 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,840 He looked so confused. 90 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:52,639 Thanks, Tyler. 91 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:53,360 Thank you, Tyler. 92 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:53,840 Thanks, Tyler. 93 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:54,340 Enough. 94 00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:56,720 Fuck it. Let's play. 95 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,439 Man, you haven't interrupted Russ in such a long time. 96 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:00,639 It wasn't even intentional. 97 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:01,439 No, it wasn't. 98 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,560 No, I was like, Tom's going to say something right when I... 99 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,000 No, I did it anyways. 100 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,439 We see a dark night roll out. 101 00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:26,079 Clouds obscure a glowing deep purple black moon. 102 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,159 Movement down side streets of figures trying to stick to the shadows is seen. 103 00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:35,199 We hear Leosin's voice. 104 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,719 It was ten years ago. 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,479 Give or take a few months when we sent you down to Calumport. 106 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:53,439 The signs of Orcus were minimal, as you remember. 107 00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:57,439 As you remember, portals were popping up here and there. 108 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,000 Then, much like you reported, towns and cities began to go dark. 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,680 The figures quickly zip across a street as a squadron of undead soldiers march past, 110 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,079 covering each other, keeping eyes open all around their position and watching for scouts. 111 00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:24,639 When I say dark, I don't mean they were empty. 112 00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:25,699 No. 113 00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:30,639 People were still there. 114 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:37,839 What went dark was communication, trade, taxes, commerce, all of it, 115 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:42,240 would slowly fade and then one day, stop. 116 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:46,879 We see the group more clearly now. 117 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,560 We see the group more clearly now. 118 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:50,800 There are seven of them. 119 00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:58,399 Flint, Yenbul, Thea, Donnie, wrapped tightly around her, 120 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,759 a stout-built dwarf, Tolgir Heavyfoot, 121 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,439 and a pair of assassins, one of them a masked elven woman, 122 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,600 Renisa, and a drow, Halvalu, Egno. 123 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:19,680 One by one, they file through a damaged portion of the perimeter wall 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720 into the main compLex of Castle Orcus. 125 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,639 Messengers and scouts began disappearing when sent to these towns and cities, 126 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,800 and military squads would go MIA inexplicably. 127 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,920 Those lucky enough to return would tell horrific tales of making it deep into these towns, 128 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,120 too deep to retreat when they found themselves surrounded by the townspeople, 129 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:56,720 but not the townspeople, undead, shells of the people they once were. 130 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,439 Their factions were driven deeper into the towns, 131 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:09,040 surrounded, and guided towards a window, a doorway, something that led them to the abyss. 132 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:21,040 That's when the nights became truly dark, and the moon went out. 133 00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:24,720 Then the wars started. 134 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,199 A door pulls closed with a quiet squeak. 135 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:36,080 The group silently moves down the halls of the first floor of Castle Orcus. 136 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,480 Pausing at each corner, the air is still. 137 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:44,000 There's no movement heard anywhere. 138 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,080 Everybody roll for stealth. 139 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240 Eleven, fourteen, sixteen. 140 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,879 Renisa whispers, just loud enough to be heard. 141 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,600 This is going to be too easy. 142 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,960 Oh, I don't think we say things like that. 143 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000 It's best not to say things like that before starting it. 144 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,440 I'm sorry, you might be the first to die. 145 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:09,759 We'll see about that. 146 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,920 The wars were fought all across Faerûn, all across Toriel. 147 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,960 It was an organized effort. 148 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,759 They knew how we would attack. 149 00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:27,120 They knew every weakness, every strength. 150 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:33,200 They had infiltrated the highest orders, but they toyed with us. 151 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,360 They let us feel like we were gaining ground. 152 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,080 They let us push them back. 153 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 They let us think we could win. 154 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,919 Castle Orcus is silent. 155 00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:55,039 As Renisa and Helvelu lead the group up the spiral staircase 156 00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:58,319 toward what once was Lady Leryl Silverhand's office. 157 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,599 Now the presumed chambers of Lord Vorunax and his right hand Lipsinki. 158 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,439 At the top, a doorway stands between the group and the chamber. 159 00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:16,959 A deep black-purple glow comes from beneath the door. 160 00:10:18,719 --> 00:10:24,159 Helvelu stops and moves to check the lock. 161 00:10:25,439 --> 00:10:30,639 Someone roll a d20 for Helvelu's sleight of hand, please. 162 00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:32,959 Should we all roll it and take the best one? 163 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:33,599 Nope, one person. 164 00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:34,559 I will not roll. 165 00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:38,559 Sixteen. 166 00:10:42,079 --> 00:10:45,919 They tore us down mentally before breaking us physically. 167 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,919 We knew nothing except defeat was possible. 168 00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:52,399 The wide portals. 169 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:54,959 That'll be the understatement. 170 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,399 Gateways or replacements of existence. 171 00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:09,759 Where there was world and earth and water was only pain and dread. 172 00:11:11,199 --> 00:11:12,639 The abyss was here. 173 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,679 And it's all we could see. 174 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,039 The hordes, they came and they consumed. 175 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,480 The spirits took down anything in the sky. 176 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,680 We were driven back to Waterdeep, 177 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,519 where whoever was left had to make our final stand. 178 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,320 But when all you see is death, how do you win? 179

every month 556 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:10,880 is very exciting. 557 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,319 We have this thing called Game Time 558 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,240 and it is where we get to play games with you. 559 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,360 Arguably one of the best days in the month. 560 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:19,920 True. 561 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,799 Absolutely. 562 00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:22,319 One of our favorite days in the month. 563 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:26,640 This month, I am running a game for three of our patrons plus Carla 564 00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,880 and we have room for one more patron, one more person. 565 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:31,839 If you're not a patron yet, 566 00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:34,000 you could become a patron and come play a game with us. 567 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,079 Yeah, you could become a patron. 568 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,240 You could just upgrade and then you're there. 569 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,759 We would love to have you have a full table and play that game. 570 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,960 Okay, here's the pitch. 571 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,880 It's going to have excitement. 572 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,040 It's going to have a little bit of an espionage, sneak around spy feel. 573 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320 It's going to have lots of fights. 574 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:05,280 It's going to have witty banter and probably a sandwich. 575 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,080 If you bring a sandwich to your game. 576 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:08,960 Oh, okay. 577 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,800 So the sandwich is up to you. 578 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,760 It's BYOS. 579 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,680 Yeah, optional sandwich. 580 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,440 I mean, this all sounds delightful. 581 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,000 But yeah, it'd be really awesome if you could join 582 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,720 because I mean, we'd have a full table, which is always really exciting. 583 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,279 Plus, we love to just see and interact with all of you. 584 00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:28,079 It is super fun. 585 00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:30,400 And every month game time is different. 586 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,599 We have a rotating GM spot and a different cast member every month, 587 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:39,119 maybe more than what's even advertised sometimes. 588 00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:41,359 So that's very fun to keep you guessing. 589 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:42,079 Totally. 590 00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:43,839 Plus, if you're at that Patreon level, 591 00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:47,680 you still get like all the stuff below that. 592 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,680 So it's like all the stuff. 593 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,519 And this month's game is

00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,279 Leosin? 618 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:46,240 Did you find it? 619 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,480 No. 620 00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:48,000 Where? 621 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,480 No, and Flint, we need help. 622 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,120 A few people come over and carry him over to a cot 623 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,240 and lay him down and begin checking him over. 624 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,279 Where's Renisa and Helvelu? 625 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,480 I mean, she didn't make it. 626 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,240 We got to the room where we thought the book would be 627 00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:13,280 and there was no book and something happened to Renisa and- 628 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,600 And there was a familiar voice and then her head 629 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,000 and then Flint just started screaming and dropped to the ground and- 630 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,000 But the book? 631 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,519 There was no book. 632 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,519 The book wasn't there. 633 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:29,060 Fuck! 634 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,560 How do they know our every fucking step? 635 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,800 You got a mole? 636 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,480 Fuck, I don't know. 637 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,640 We had moles from the fucking beginning. 638 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,960 They're checking Flint. 639 00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:54,240 Are you okay? 640 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Well, apart from really shaken at the most emotion I've ever seen you 641 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,640 have, yes. 642 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,800 It's been a rough 10 years. 643 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,320 You know what? 644 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:08,480 Yeah, I was going to say I get it. 645 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,039 I don't get it. 646 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,480 I don't get anything. 647 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,560 But what if just right now we go back? 648 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:18,800 Go back where? 649 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,080 You have any other idea where the book could be? 650 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:23,760 If you will go look again. 651 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,200 It was supposed to be there. 652 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,039 What was there? 653 00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:28,480 A pillar of nothing. 654 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:39,440 And when Renisa went up to this pillar, an invisible thing just killed her. 655 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:48,400 And then hordes of undead were unleashed. 656 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,480 We could hear them screaming throughout the building, and we had to get out of there. 657 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,320 I don't know where else it would be. 658 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,880 If you go back now, they will... 659 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,360 If you heard undead coming up anywhere, they're going to expect you. 660 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:07,440 Would they though? 661 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,519 Maybe this is the best time. 662 00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:13,519 They wouldn't expect us to go back right away. 663 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:14,720 It's so foolish. 664 00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:16,639 And nobody else knows. 665 00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:19,119 In here, if you do have a mole, somebody's telling them. 666 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,960 If we go back now, there's not enough time for anyone to communicate. 667 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,039 Okay. 668 00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:26,000 You want to go back? 669 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,800 No, not really. 670 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,159 I just, I don't have another plan. 671 00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:29,039 I'm worried about Flint. 672 00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:29,760 Got to keep busy. 673 00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:37,040 A woman comes over and kind of whispers in Leosan's ear, 674 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,240 says, I don't know about Flint. 675 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:41,040 He's unconscious. 676 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,000 He's not responding. 677 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:42,800 He's breathing. 678 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,560 He has vitals. 679 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:50,000 Maybe this thing that's happening to him is happening

to save him before? 695 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,119 The whole reason we came here was to help Flint. 696 00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,719 And if this is happening now, I mean, we've got the amulet. 697 00:37:41,279 --> 00:37:42,880 We need the arcane brotherhood. 698 00:37:46,319 --> 00:37:48,799 Is that possible? 699 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:58,400 Well, there are rumors of them in the North. 700

752 00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:27,199 I'm probably on borrowed time at this point, 753 00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:32,079 so if I can help you guys out, I'll happily do it. 754 00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:36,239 Did you design him as a one week left from retirement kind of character? 755 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,599 Because that's how it's done. 756 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:40,880 Not entirely, but he does have a whitened eye, 757 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,559 and he's missing a finger or two, 758 00:40:42,559 --> 00:40:49,199 so maybe give a description of Tulgear here as we see him. 759 00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:52,239 Tulgear Heavyfoot is a patron submitted name 760 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,799 for a character here from Christian Brown. 761 00:40:55,199 --> 00:41:01,039 Tulgear is a little oblivious when he's not focused on a plan, 762 00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:03,440 so sometimes things can go over his head. 763 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,079 He's got white hair. 764 00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:08,719 He's got one whitened eye, 765 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:13,600 so his left eye is just not exactly as great as it used to be. 766 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,280 But yeah, he's got dark skin, left eye completely whitened. 767 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,160 He's also missing his left ring finger, salt and pepper hair. 768 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,040 He's on the older side of things for a dwarf at 310 years old, 769 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:32,640 and he has a bit of an aura to him. 770 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,480 What color would you call his aura? 771 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,560 I wouldn't say it's white, but something white adjacent. 772 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,200 Hmm, a cream aura. 773 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:41,760 I get you. 774 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,880 He also has an amulet around his neck 775 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,960 that has the image of a set of scales resting on a war hammer. 776 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,600 Well, if you're offering your help, we will gladly take it. 777 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,240 As long as you're not the mole. 778 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,520 I mean, we've had a very serious problem with that. 779 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,880 It's not really something to joke about here. 780 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:05,380 Yeah. 781 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,520 Well, shall we go? 782 00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:10,960 If you guys are waiting on me, I'll just all I'll be right there with you. 783 00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:18,480 You are the expert of this place, so it would be very helpful to have you with us. 784 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,920 And Yen Bull, you're still on this wild ride with me. 785 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,800 She asks desperately for the person who has a vehicle in which to travel. 786 00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:33,360 That isn't a giant bird. 787 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,519 I am here and this is the world, so. 788 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,199 The only people I know are you and Leosin and Flint. 789 00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:40,559 I must try to help. 790 00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:42,639 Thank you. 791 00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,039 And you, Pulgare. 792 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:46,239 I know you now too. 793 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,039 What about Dawn? 794 00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:50,480 Yeah, I mean, I'm here too. 795 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,440 She doesn't really know me. 796 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,559 I've been sleeping for like, I don't know, it seems like 10 years. 797 00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:56,079 You've been real quiet. 798 00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:57,679 Well, there's a lot going on. 799 00:42:57,679 --> 00:42:58,880 Yeah, I don't blame you. 800 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,880 I was in a maze thing, and then I found you, 801 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,000 and then I found you, and then I was in a bag thing. 802 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,360 Well, I think I found you. 803 00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:10,160 We found each other. 804 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:11,119 Debatable. 805 00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:15,519 And then I was in a bag thing, and then I slept for a long time, 806 00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:19,760 and then I was in a sewer thing, and now I'm here. 807 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,559 So you are ready to hit the open road, or the underground road? 808 00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:27,200 Tulge, must we remain in the sewer? 809 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,440 Probably till we get out of the city. 810 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:36,320 But should be okay to do some traveling near the roads after that? 811 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,679 Just depends on Orcus's forces to and fro. 812 00:43:41,039 --> 00:43:47,599 Leo-sen, before we go, just curious, we had left Donnie's collar. 813 00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:50,639 I'm not here! 814 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,800 I went to another room! 815 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,760 Right, he did wander away screaming F words. 816 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:03,680 Okay, I wander to find Leo-sen, and I say, 817 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,520 Hey Leo-sen, before we leave, we had left- 818 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,240 Where are you going? 819 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,040 Well, we're gonna go find the Arcane Brotherhood. 820 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,560 Okay, so you're going again. 821 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,240 Okay, you're gonna want to wait till morning. 822 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,760 Okay, well, we're gonna travel in the sewers a little bit. 823 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,680 Listen, don't give me that look! 824 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,200 We can't just sit here and let Flint die. 825 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,720 I know. 826 00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:33,360 What would you do? 827 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,200 I don't know. 828 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,520 I'd go find the Arcane Brotherhood. 829 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,080 And we're gonna go fast. 830 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,720 Yeah, your best bet is probably start in Luskin, it's overrun as well, 831 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:47,040 but I don't know where else to go from there. 832 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,600 You might find someone, maybe someone like us? 833 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:55,280 Maybe, overrun is fine as long as there's not like, you know, 834 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,560 an evil, invisible dude. 835 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,600 It seems like Orcus Castle is just a pretty big home base for the big guys. 836 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,800 So maybe Luskin is just like, full of the undead. 837 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,840 Fingers crossed! 838 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:14,480 Anyway, we had left Donnie's collar before, with you. 839 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,040 Any chance, it's just shot in the dark. 840 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,519 That was fixed up, and you've somehow held on to it. 841 00:45:23,519 --> 00:45:24,000 Hold on to it. 842 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:28,960 Give me a minute. 843 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,320 Really? 844 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,079 I did not expect you to have it. 845 00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:33,280 I don't know if I do. 846 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,679 I'm gonna go check my things. 847 00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:37,280 Oh, okay, yeah, you check your things. 848 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:39,199 We'll see. 849 00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:39,920 Question, Russ. 850 00:45:41,199 --> 00:45:48,320 Does Telgir know what the force was that like, snapped her spine? 851 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,280 I don't. 852 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,800 I mean, all of you can roll... 853 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:54,800 Chiropractics. 854 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,320 Arcana, Chiropractic. 855 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,000 Roll for Chiropractics. 856 00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:00,480 Yeah, all of you could roll some sort of... 857 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,280 Yeah, I think Arcana would probably be the best for that, 858 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,519 to see if you know, you don't know based on your experience exactly, 859 00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:13,360 but you might have gained a feel. 860 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:13,679 13. 861 00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:16,480 Well, I don't think the seven Telgir rolled is gonna handle it. 862 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,079 No. 863 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:21,519 I kind of just assumed it was someone with an invisibility spell, 864 00:46:21,519 --> 00:46:24,639 or someone very powerful, who is able to... 865 00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:27,360 Orc is kind of big bad, kind of some... 866 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,719 I really thought we were gonna be in it. 867 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,039 Yeah, no, worth asking. 868 00:46:31,039 --> 00:46:33,759 I just thought that, you know, he might being, 869 00:46:33,759 --> 00:46:35,840 having been around for the last 10 years, 870 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,599 might have had some inkling as to what was up. 871 00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:42,239 You don't know of a specific creature that has that MO, 872 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,079 you know, not like a specific creature normally comes and sneaks up on people 873 00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:48,880 and snaps their neck and spins it around and then knocks through them. 874 00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:52,720 Yeah, and everybody... 875 00:46:52,720 --> 00:47:00,400 Um, so, so no, I don't think you would have direct knowledge of that experience, 876 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,559 nor do you get anything from the 16. 877 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:06,240 All right. 878 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:09,200 Leosin. 879 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,800 Oh, oh, yes, sorry, Ymble, yes. 880 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,400 Uh, hi. 881 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,440 Hi, I just wanted to say, 882 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,200 I don't know, hello, long time. 883 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,440 I feel like I, I know you, but of course I don't, 884 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:30,480 and now you're so much older and, and we've missed so many years of letters. 885 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:37,119 That has been actually one of the things I've missed for the last 10 years. 886 00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:40,240 That's so kind of you to say. 887 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,200 More than, at least I don't even... 888 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:49,120 They're, they, friend, they are friends and they will help. 889 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,400 They are your friends and, and they are very brave adventurers 890 00:47:54,400 --> 00:48:01,840 and, and I have missed hearing about their tales, although it has been fun to, well... 891 00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:06,000 Fun seems like a strong word. 892 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,840 Yes, I was, I was trying to think of a new word because fun is, is not the right one. 893 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,640 Flabbergasting, I think would be a good word. 894 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:24,480 They are fun people to be around, but we have never been in a situation that is fun. 895 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:32,480 It has, it has been nice to meet you, fighting, killing, uh, lich, end of the world. 896 00:48:33,039 --> 00:48:34,800 How are, how are you? 897 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,480 Um, well... 898 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,760 Callum Port. 899 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,160 Uh, it's hard. 900 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,680 It sounds like didn't make it. 901 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:56,800 That my whole beloved city is, is destroyed and, and all of my friends and family are gone 902 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:03,200 and we came here hoping it would be different here, but it's not. 903 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,240 It's, it's hard. 904 00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:06,740 No. 905 00:49:06,740 --> 00:49:09,940 But I am hopeful. 906 00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:16,260 I am hopeful we can turn this around, whatever, whatever this is, whatever this place is. 907 00:49:17,220 --> 00:49:24,100 Yeah, you're, um, you're, you probably haven't been, but you're off to Luskin. 908 00:49:26,020 --> 00:49:30,580 It's, where you're going, it's going to be much colder than you've ever experienced, 909 00:49:30,579 --> 00:49:38,739 I guess, is the new thing that I can pose for you that you'd have under your belt. 910 00:49:40,819 --> 00:49:48,819 Um, reports from the city aren't, they're few and far between. 911 00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:55,699 I, I hope there is some Glimer of hope there that we are able to sort out Flint and 912 00:49:56,340 --> 00:50:03,700 hopefully correct some of these wrongs that have, that have come about. 913 00:50:05,140 --> 00:50:12,500 Yes, we will, we will do our best and I don't know. 914 00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:14,820 Can you expect these people to save the world again? 915 00:50:16,340 --> 00:50:17,460 I have to confess. 916 00:50:17,460 --> 00:50:18,180 I hope they do. 917 00:50:18,980 --> 00:50:19,940 I hope so too. 918 00:50:21,460 --> 00:50:24,260 Flint is not in a great position and 919 00:50:26,180 --> 00:50:35,060 Thea has emotional hurdles to work through. 920 00:50:36,820 --> 00:50:38,500 Well, she has been through a lot. 921 00:50:39,220 --> 00:50:39,720 Yeah. 922 00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:47,860 But I know you, you are trying to gather the information so we can save Flint and 923 00:50:47,860 --> 00:50:49,860 go and, and I didn't want to keep you. 924 00:50:49,860 --> 00:50:50,340 I just- 925 00:50:50,340 --> 00:50:51,220 No, it's- 926 00:50:51,220 --> 00:50:54,420 I wanted to say, hello, Fen-Pal. 927 00:50:54,420 --> 00:50:56,020 It's nice to see you in real life. 928 00:50:56,580 --> 00:51:00,340 I'm s- I'm sorry we had to meet under such circumstances. 929 00:51:00,900 --> 00:51:12,980 It is the loveliest thing that has happened in more than 10 years to finally meet you. 930 00:51:13,860 --> 00:51:16,340 I open my arms to give him a hug. 931 00:51:17,059 --> 00:51:25,940 He steps forward and reciprocates openly and you, you embrace each other in a warm hug 932 00:51:25,940 --> 00:51:32,340 and you feel him, you feel his body tense, like every muscle, every fiber in his body 933 00:51:32,340 --> 00:51:42,820 is tense at first, but once, once you hug him tight, he relaxes and not quite collapses into 934 00:51:42,820 --> 00:51:49,620 you, but like there's a, a weight to the hug that you can tell that he hasn't felt 935 00:51:51,140 --> 00:51:55,059 any sort of relief in a long time. 936 00:51:57,380 --> 00:52:07,620 Well, we'll be back soon and we will, we will catch up on what you have been doing 937 00:52:07,619
