glim it's been pretty quiet on most fronts specifically the destiny front

since you've arrived in Gerothamar you pledged your oath you made

contact with Bahama in some way shape or form but not much has happened for you

since it's been relaxing could be a word that you could describe I'm not

gonna say how that makes you feel but you're currently out for a stroll

with Ekef taking in the beautiful day that it is pondering life and what

comes next it's just you know when you're looking forward to something

for so long and then you do it and it's wonderful and it's like everything you

ever could have dreamed and then you can kind of just like just really sit

in that for a while and then you're kind of just ready like what's the

next thing like I have this destiny to save the world and I feel like

Bahamut gave me like two thumbs up and we're good and I'm ready and now

like I told my friends the new next adventure would present itself and you

know it would be obvious but I don't really know what to do like it's

really nice here but I need I guess I'm a goal-oriented person you know

like I train physically and I try and train Bahamut now I need like I need a

task right well yes we've talked at length about the tasks you require

you've cleaned so well you've organized all of the book I mean it was a bit

dusty in there and it's just like it looks yeah I don't want to brag or

anything but it looks you know like it seems like a more used temple now and

I mean it is by me but you know like some others might come I left those

pamphlets at the Zet Mart so I am assuming at any point more more

definitely had some interest which is which is new it's not that it's not

that the turnout has ever been poor but we just Bahamut themselves are one

who doesn't tend to draw too much attention not to say that you're

doing anything wrong I hear it now as I say it that this is what you you

have been doing you've been trying to draw attention to Bahamut which

gratefully appreciated he's just normally like a more chill kind of dude

he's a chill dude yeah chill dude real sit back and relax just let things

be and when when opportunity presents itself then and then it's time to

act as we have discussed many times since you've arrived the book it had

nothing beyond until you pledged your oath and then new writings appeared which

you still say you did not write no right no I mean I wasn't in there like

totally swearing an oath and just like writing I mean I wouldn't do that

religious writing samples too so you like know for sure I know that you

believe me but like just for my own peace of mind I wanted to prove like

that wasn't me no of course glim I totally you know what let's let's enjoy

the day let's spend some time talking about perhaps something something other

than other than your destiny yeah like what are you into you know what I'm

so rude I can't even I get so focused on my own stuff but like I

guess what it what's your story bead work really like necklaces or like

clothing or clothing tapestries weave wool and bead to create intricate

designs and I'd love to see some of that oh well I do have some are you

selling it in the market or just like for your own fun no I donate them oh

for charity work of course and they do tend to fetch quite high prices for

the charities who put them up so I guess that in and of itself raising money for

children and the needy and the star and the starving individuals has been

has been a little a little calling a little artsy calling yeah mine I guess

you could say I do have I could I could show you some of them throughout

throughout Gerard the Mar I am well I'm working on one right now it's it's of

it's of Bahamut's canaries right Wow I would I mean I would be honored if you

would show me some of your work I don't know that many artists let's go

take a look and after the day maybe we'll go we'll go take another

look through the book and and just see if we miss something the last 75

times we've been through it okay sounds great the two of you walk off back to

go peruse some of ekif's artwork throughout Gerard the Mar as you're

walking through the the merchants floor you pass by a new buffet and you

don't pay too much attention to it but the camera stops and inside is

moot he is one of the first people to sample this new buffet the sign

which is lit up with brilliant color lights and fireworks went off for the

grand opening moot was invited because of his his excellent reviews of all of

these buffets and he was invited personally by sir schlaps delicious sounds

appetizing I hope that's not the name of the restaurant is it or is that the owner I'm

gonna need you to spell out schlaps for me or s ch l o p s I want to know if I'm

right sh l o p s schlaps delicious kind of onomatopoeic yeah sir schlaps comes

out to your table and he comes up to you and he says so is everything to

so far I see that you're sampling the blub the blubber baked barnacles they are

what I was most excited about at first I was not intrigued by them when I when

I read the placard in front of the dish I will be honest with you but

yes after trying them they are much better than I thought they would be oh

good good to hear I can't that is from from you that is quite the review you

are a hard hard man to please in the buffet field well just some of them you

know you go and then half the dishes that were there last time that you

really enjoyed aren't there or they haven't got enough of them and they

go out so fast and then there's not enough plates because you want to go

up a few times and it's just it's a whole thing and but you know you're

doing it right here sir schlaps thank you so much you know you've sampled most

of the things on on on the table here you've got the celebratory goat stew for

our grand opening delicious the goat and quail egg omelette a little bit of

a goat theme going on here the roasted tarantula what did you think of

those very crispy very tasty where'd you get goat eggs goat and quail egg

that's what I said uh-huh where'd you get the goat egg goat and quail egg yeah

so like ham and egg I'm making it I'm making a joke Amy I don't know if you

understand how omelets work so let me break it down I know you need a lot of

eggs Carla I'm wonder where the goat eggs came from as someone who had

omelets daily when he was in Mexico for two weeks last year at this time

top-notch beautiful beautiful sorry the roasted tarantula what did you

think of those oh so crispy and you know I thought the the legs would be

off-putting but really just added to the crunch factor very tasty it was a

delicacy I came across I'm not certain the city name but they also sold

potatoes oh I've been there you have I have let me just flip through my

notebook to find out where that was oh well while you do that I'm just

gonna run back and get something really quick here if only I had a

service to transcribe my old notebooks into my new endless notebook that way

the information would be instantly where I wanted it do you not get the joy

though of rewriting your notes were you guys not those students no I hated

rewriting my notes it helped me learn but I hate them all shitty in class

yeah and I get my good colorful pens out and I'd make them perfect me

okay we're the same person because we're cool right totally cool I'm gonna go

back and get you something that's off off menu here I'm just I'm trying it

out it's the squeaver chili served with a

cool glass of the Holstein milk okay um that sounds like a thing that you

just said yeah I'm not even gonna just I'm just gonna I'm gonna wait

and you're just gonna love it you're gonna love it I will explain it once I

come back he runs off into the back I'm sorry Holstein milk be Holstein

we'll explain it when we come back I don't think okay

Sullivan slight you didn't quite realize exactly how on edge you've

📢 Mid-roll Ad Break

been until you stop needing to worry about the cult finding you or just

being in the general vicinity of cult faces you've kept watch frequently on

the Church of Tiamat and no one save for a cleaning crew really has been

coming or going and mostly the cleaning crew is coming and going because of

the things that you keep writing on the door being the most carefree

you've been in a long time and having found some perhaps different or

new direction what has Sully been doing with his days because Sully has pretty

much been preoccupied with the cult of the dragon since forever and since he

doesn't have to look over his shoulder here I think he's he's taken

those pamphlets and he is going to these he is going to edumacate himself

and learn how to use the staff of the adder so looking staff it is it's a

delightful looking staff and it looks like it holds a lot of power now you

were handed you were handed pamphlets for different schools that you could go

or different people that you could see one was more of a religious path

taking you down a path of a cleric another led you towards a more earthy

druid and the other towards a warlock which on on surface doesn't seem quite

as upfront as the other two paths a little more of a dark flavor to it

it's very the the candles are lit that emit a black light as you walk in well

are the Sanderson sisters gonna come maybe I don't know I feel like I should

know the reference but I don't a virgin lights the black flame candle

from Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus thank you I saw you smile Carla

that was for you Hocus Pocus to coming to Disney Plus sometime in the near

future I know I'm I'm so torn about it we're not talking about it so I guess

you're looking at those pamphlets where does Sully go first or where has Sully

been and what is catching his eye I think Sully has already been to the

clerics so who is it that you're devout to well I'm you know I'm just I'm kind

of looking around and just kind of sussing out there's a very rotund dwarf

in front of you he's graying he's got the hair like the Picard hair but

it's like sticking straight out a little more Danny DeVito a little more

Danny yep there's a Danny DeVito with a long beard in front of you oh god hey

who you devout to oh I don't know I'm just kind of you know well I who you

devout to I devout to payload who's that payloads the god of Sun and

summer he's the keeper at time okay go on okay he supports those in need

opposes all that is evil his lord of the agriculture and the bound to

full harvest what more do you need to know have I not sold yet bada bing is

he like best friends with Bahamut ah there they I'm sure they go get a little

coffee here and there I mean they have very similar similar ideologies

that come across cool cool cool all right well I already have one of

those people who talks me about Bahamut all the time okay so I'm

gonna have to pass okay so you're looking for more of a general opposite

you're looking for like a god of something not good a god of pain like

a god of like war no I'm not I think I'm just not looking for a god at all

oh well what do you do okay well what how can I convince you so he starts to

slowly it looks like you're trying to work a few different angles here what

man I'm just looking to learn then I don't be gold in a party what are you

bribing me to join your cult go payload wouldn't do that this is

weird I'm leaving but I might bye he scurries out of there

energy was way too much for me I think he wants to go next to the druid you

enter into actually you have to leave the main pyramid you have to go into

the forest and you enter nope Sully doesn't want to do it Sully goes

wanted to get a description of it you know okay I don't think Sully would

leave the pyramid and go into a forest by himself okay he gets kidnapped in

forests and in town you know what in large public spaces feels pretty safe

going out there in the wide wide world just ain't gonna ain't gonna do

it so he's gonna go to the warlock because he's too scared to go into

okay the door opens and there is a woman she's how tall is Sully five nope no

that's how tall Amy is three foot five okay so we so we so we you enter and

like I said it's a it's a dark office and there's paintings on the walls not

of anything in particular just like abstract art is what it looks like just

surface value that's what it kind of looks like and there's like glowing

paints that you see kind of spread all around black light in here

somewhere yeah there's black candles lit I've already said that oh so we

skipped around yeah yeah but yeah there's black candles lit that

illuminate some of the the iridescent paintings during raving in the corner

there's nobody immediately as you walk in stepping out from a back room is an

older woman she's only probably about a foot foot and a half taller than you

are she's very very slim she has like red and yellow clothing there's

almost like this gray you could confuse it for smoke but it's like

around like her her figure and she says yes can I help you sir

oh yeah my name is Sullivan slight and and and you are Andresa it's it's it's

very nice to make your acquaintance I am searching for a kind of a mentor a

little bit to help me with some learning oh okay and you've come here

because you are called by unknown voices what no you have an affinity for

magic I wouldn't say it's an affinity kind of like any pulls out from

behind them the staff and was like why got this stick okay I just just since

we just said Sully's height I'm wondering is the staff on his back

always like four feet above his head yeah no one knows and Victoria didn't

didn't dispute it Victoria beautiful person let me get away with shit okay oh

yes yes so yeah I got this the staff of the Adda might I see it while you

explain sure yeah I know funny business now of course do you know what it can

do got one of those stickers on there if you put a sticker on it when it

automatically hurt her I was just thinking if she like tried to swipe

it but never mind well no it is only swiping stuff isn't it it's not if you

have something that has a stick yeah no it's okay well there's there's a

sticker on the very bottom she did serve she did succeed the check

though so she's yeah yeah no funny business though because I'm I have no

idea what this thing does I would really like to learn about she taps

it on the ground and suddenly the head is a black snake that is identical

to the head of the carved snake that you saw previously and it like jumps out

at you oh Sullivan like jumps back and falls on his ass and then does like

like a crab walk backwards Jesus you wanna guide first you look back and it

like moves to her and then moves back into position and then locks back

into place as a wooden staff that's terrifying this is a very powerful

piece of equipment you have I couldn't I now see that what a weird gift for

someone to give me and you say you wish to control it well yeah cuz I mean

otherwise I just have a giant stick I'm hitting people with it's just uh

do you find yourself constantly in search of the answers to secrets

looking deeper into unknown like like how I don't know how to use this staff

that could be thinking there might not be a deeper level this very surface

like what do you mean like you constantly are searching for the

knowledge of what makes our world turn well that that's like I mean that's a

real big question I don't think you get anything done in your day if you

if you if you if you have you thought about that all the time have you

thought about what is beyond what we can comprehend but you know what there's

a lot I don't comprehend sometimes so you seem like a clean slate you know

what that's uh that's probably the nicest way someone's ever put it if you

wish to control this staff Sully it was yes I yes we do have an opening

an opening for a student to specifically learn about this staff or

to search for all the mysteries in the world well one is hand-in-hand with the

other you must learn you must you must learn how to harness magic you can't

just create and she snaps the staff on the ground again and the snake comes

back it doesn't jump out at you or anything it just begins to move what do

you wish to gain from this I would like to use it in a in what in battle

okay I can do that for you I feel like though that you're asking for a lot

more because it's not just gonna be like where does your training lie you

seem some like someone who knows something about the world you seem like

someone who has certain level of knowledge I see behind your eyes there

is a a wanting for knowledge and escape from fear what what I mean doesn't

everybody want to escape from the fears maybe not everybody walks through

these doors though well I see you got I got this pamphlet here mm-hmm so of

course just you know it this seems real like religious to like you like

follow any specific kind of God not in and of itself no power comes from

beings or places beyond our comprehension those aren't necessarily

though it's like so heavy for Sully right now I'm debating between going to

the dark side and being like okay thanks you really gave me something to

think about taking the staff back bringing it over to Zed Martin being

like give me 20 bucks I mean maybe the maybe the dude at Zed Mart will

want to swap you for something straight up if you want to think on

it we can come back yeah let's come back there's a Sully's in a quandary

he's he doesn't know what to do

welcome to the middle this is the place where all the things are told oh

it's getting kind of spooky in here yeah it's a real like ghost of Christmas

present vibe going on here right yeah four told seven years ago

ghost of Abraham Lincoln I'm not sure what's I'm not sure what's happening

yeah all right ah whoo hey we have friends we do yeah and we

want you to go listen to them because they put on really amazing shows as

well one of those shows is from a good dear friend of ours Travis Van Grof and

Caitlin stats who we met yes in person when you could meet people in

person yeah back in the olden times a time loved it

Travis and his lovely wife Caitlin make this show called Dark Dice among

others but Dark Dice is a a highly edited Dumbgeons and Dragons actual play

audio drama and he takes a lot of time making sure that the soundscape is just

perfect not just me blowing into a microphone and edits down the the

combat section so it's it's succinct and action-filled and climactic and

it's dark like it's scary and not a show for Carla no I can't even listen cuz

it's too scary I'm sure it's very good though I've heard nothing but good

things I know someone guys I know someone who's on that show who really

who his name is Russ More he heard of him that loser oh god I will not

have you saying anything bad about rest do not disparage our friend

Russ More hey this is the one time it's going in my favor all right yes

yeah season two so they just wrapped season one and season two I'm a part of

it I don't know how much I'm allowed to say probably not what is just that

maybe that's too much already but I play character and then we get into

moot sir schlops comes back out with the dish that he now it's his name is sir

schlops not the restaurant is and he's not sir schlop and then it's an

apostrophe s but he is sir schlops sir schlops the restaurant is sir

schlops with an apostrophe after okay sir schlops is yep there's no

extra s but yes yeah he says this is the squeaver chili served with a cool

glass of beholstein milk have you had such a thing now I've had milk before

but usually cow sometimes almond what exactly is this milk again it was the

beholstein milk it's a truly a special prize of dairy farms across

the realms as its back half is separated from the useful bit so

fertilizer can go directly where it needs to walk me through this again the

beholstein is truly a special prize of dairy farms across the realm as its

back half is separated from the useful bit so I didn't just me again with

the same info I meant you know some more info about it oh well this is

what they told me at cook culinary school it's a it's supposed to be it's

very tasty okay I mean I'll give it a shot please do the squeaver do you

didn't even ask about the squeaver that wasn't the the concerning part of

the dish okay I think it should be no I give it a try you taste it let's let's

roll something sure we haven't rolled for taste before for flavor town for

flavor what are we thinking the way you like something is not gonna be

perceptions give it is gonna be fall under my insight or it could be I guess

just survival it could be survival it could be like a like persuasion well

you want yeah yeah it could be persuasion how based on how the

flavors come I said flavors if you're the chef in ratatouille or not the

chef the critic in ratatouille then you roll for history sure yeah but

that's quite specific yeah am I the critic from ratatouille are you that's

a personal question only you can answer we haven't clarified it yet hasn't come

up I think I am all right well whatever whatever we decide here it's

either I think we say persuasion or history okay yeah sure let's let's go

persuasion I'm good with that then any time we need to check flavor town

we're gonna go persuasion for future roles okay 12 for persuasion it's an

okay not great it feels like it's a dish that has a lot of potential it

has it's like one of those dishes that is like either grows on you or

it's one that you just like instantly it's not one that's bad but it's one

that I think this one's a grower instead of a shower exactly the

whole steam well sir sir schlaps it's um I think you're I think you're on the

right track here but I think it just needs a little fine-tuning in the long

run oh yes do you have any suggestions well I don't really know if the milk

goes with it too well to be perfectly honest with you yes and I was

concerned about that when they when the salesman gave me the description of it

he really sold it up the back half separated from its useful bits

fertilizer to us directly when it's just it's just a song and dance that

just swept me away sure and I get that a confusing song and dance yeah I

understand yeah I think just a little hmm little longer with the braising

time and not not the milk get get rid of the milk well the squeaver is a tough

meat so yes I could I could see that and then remove the milk give some

bring something different in perhaps not dairy perhaps some acidity that's

perhaps something there was a little bit of just a little bite to it might

cut through a little bit more could do well please help yourself to

anything else you desire we're going to be letting in the letting in the

general public now if you you know hopefully you've enjoyed most parts

this one of course not a regular menu item you're free to mention it if you

desire in your review but I look forward to seeing what you write for

us I look forward to seeing what I write for you too it's always nice to

go home and like think about this for a little while before you really

before you really jot down your thoughts all over the flavors that the

whole experience I hope the ambiance was quite right for you

oh delightful I love that everyone eats out of a trough that is just a

delightful twist on the buffet I thought that you know you know why

why with the formalities of plates and cutlery just go straight to it

exactly the useful bits are separated so that the fertilizer is closer to

where it needs I can't even remember what it was supposed to be but it's

just all well together like it really works with the merch that you're

selling with the schlopping it up I think it's perfect you've really tapped

into the essence of sir schlops I'm gonna think about this yeah I look

forward to your review have a good day of course the entire thing is is

covered we'll see you next time hopefully I would I would have to

think I would be back bring your friends it'll be great he clears some

of your dishes and walks back into the kitchen

moot raids the dessert table on his way out yes and he's like gets a hose and

just sprays out the trough everything about this I feel like up Holstein

because I'm like because at first I was like I'm pretty sure a Holstein

it's a bill Holstein be I know but listen where I'm going with this

this is downtime talk remind me yeah no it's fine yeah you hit up the

dessert table there's a pound cake with sugary lemon drizzle there's

chocolate zucchini cakes coated in powdered sugar and crowned of

strawberries there's a friend Japan style baked

custard and Japan and Japan there's a French a panty style baked custard that

uses flour from exotic faraway seeds mood just helps himself to the lemon

meringue pie and just takes the whole thing and then you you take the

thing and then you walk by and then you see the yurt and breath massive bowl of

dark rye bread enriched with bone meal resulting in a beefy slightly crunchy

bread catches your eye does it I'll be back for you next time bread bone meal

in it very hearty right helps plants it does helps moots grow too I guess

yeah well I need all the help I can get after shrinking six inches strange off

beat remedy yeah the door opens to the citadel and ekif and glim you enter it

says well that's all the pieces that I've throughout the pyramid the

entire I think you've seen most of the pyramid today you know what it

was seeing your work was unbelievable and then I felt like yeah I had this

guided tour of all these like fancy offices of people who have all this

money and like bought your pieces to as a tax write-off for charity or like

I don't really know how that works something we don't yeah we don't talk

about that something like that but oh my goodness the one of Tiamat like

nope that's a different guy was surprising and upsetting she was

cowering she was cowering in a corner next to the absolute might of her

brother Bahamut and then Bahamut over top and then there's a rainbow and

there was a cloud and lightning and it was just like you could you could

feel the force of the battle but the beauty of the peace afterwards with

the rainbow and just that you captured that in this like tapestry beadwork was

it I've never I mean I cried I've never it was so powerful it brings a

tear to my eye to hear you describe it in such a beautiful way thank you

thank you I've forgotten entirely what we're doing here oh the book right

we were gonna look at the book again and see if it gives like I've really

been looking for a like glim next you need to but you know we've looked a lot

of times and there isn't really anything that clear maybe so maybe you

could help with like some subtext in the new writing right it's a period and

like that would would help point me in my next direction right yes come

have a seat he you seat and he brings the book over and he begins flipping

through and says well we've been through of course the beginnings of the

world and everything we can skip over some of this because really it's

there's not much subtext in creation of things and beings and

other other deities and let's get more to the end here and he flips to

the page that you had seen written the inscription you know protect your

friends protect your people save the world or however it was phrased and

then he he flips a couple pages and again all blank right to the end there

and then he flips back and as he's flipping back into some of the text you

catch sight of a new inscription appearing as he's kind of quickly

flipping past ask if wait wait wait I think I I think I saw something in

there oh oh sorry sorry he flips back a few pages to the final page of entry

and I think I think you're right and by the time he gets back to that page

there's a full inscription there it is in larger printing than anything

proceeding it the first line states saviors missing realms tearing apart

seek your start in hard castle echo speaks up is a hard castle isn't our

castles 300 miles away give or take it's not in the big picture not as

far as you traveled to get here by any stretch what does that mean saviors

missing if you're destined to save the world you're right here how could that

what what could that mean well I mean I'm probably not the only one right I

know that my friends are gonna help me but I didn't think like

single-handedly I mean maybe I did a little bit like between you and me

I think I did kind of maybe think like maybe kind of single-handedly not

single-handedly but like me and my friends you know maybe but that's

probably that's I'm probably getting a bit big for my britches there right

yes no it's good good not to get too ahead of ourselves isn't Vahmet

amazing like I said I wanted clear instructions and here is at least a

start and now like I at least I we need to go to hard castle Wow every

day I've just reminded about his greatness you know it's truly amazing

nothing written until a few weeks ago when you showed up and then now he's

like sending us messages basically this appears to be a way that he he's

speaking with you he folds up the book waits a moment to see if anything

else appears but after nothing does he folds up the book and he props it

in his lap and then moves it over to your lap I think this is better served

with you especially if you're leaving do you but don't you need it for no I

mean it's the book it's the one book it's the one book I have read it

several times within the past week alone I have it entirely memorized I

will spend my days transcribing what I know from the first portion and then

hopefully when our paths cross again I will be to be able to expand upon it

with anything new that has appeared for you well wow I don't know what to

say I mean this is you're just you're just filling my heart to

bursting basically you are truly amazing well thanks thanks for

everything I know I can be a bit hard to take sometimes not at all you have a

massive heart well I guess I've got to talk to my friends first but we'll

probably head to Hardcastle now that we know where we need to go next so

um I hopefully I'll see you again before I go but if I don't thanks

thanks for everything thank you be safe as the book says

take care of yourself and your friends and I'm gonna give him a hug and then

probably doesn't really want it but I'm giving it except it this is a soft

pat with one arm and I'm gonna go tell my friends about stage two of our

destiny this time it's personal see a walk in back into his chamber which

is another room just off off the main room and he comes out with a large

blank book he sits it on the table and he begins writing
