1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The city?

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Yeah, this here.

4
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Do you guys know if there's any trouble?

5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
I don't know about trouble. We got a new mayor recently.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Oh, they nice?

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
He's a pretty chill dude.

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Do we let them in? They seem pretty chill.

9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Yeah, we're not supposed to let people in.

10
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Okay, but you have to be the one to tell them no then.

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
No.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Maybe we did not explain the reason for us being here very well.

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
We actually have a destiny to save the world.

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Whoa. The world.

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We're going to come with you to see the baron.

16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And I'm going to place my axe down where I stand.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
I'll put my shield down, except that it's very distinct that the shield has a smiley face that has been carved out with like a dagger.

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
They'll never know you're gone.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And you're here to stop the trouble. Well, I mean, I look around. I see no trouble.

20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
It would be okay with you if we could maybe just hang out at night and do a little sleuthing ourselves.

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I feel like as guards, we're obligated to assist you on this quest.

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I'm going to report back tomorrow when you report back with all the nothing you've seen.

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well, that sounds really good.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Yeah, okay, good.

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Aye, aye, Captain.

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Baron.

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Captain Baron.

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More. He, him also with me today is Tom Laird.

30
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
He, him and I'm playing Moot, who also goes by he, him.

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And Amy More.

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
She, her and I play Sullivan Sleight, a lightfoot halfling rogue who goes with he, him.

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And joining us again today from the lovely podcast that broadsorts, BZelda.

34
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
What's up, what's up? I'm they, them and I'm joining you playing Zee, the half-orc pAlydin, they, them.

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And Tracy Gibbons.

36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Hey, I'm Tracy, she, her and today I'm going to be playing the half-orc barbarian Zed, who uses they, them pronouns.

37
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Thank you so much for joining us again this week.

38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
I'm so glad I didn't have to kill anybody off right away last week.

39
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Yay!

40
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
No senseless murder.

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Hey, you know where everyone survives is over on Patreon.

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

43
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That's right, we're offering immortality over there.

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Wow.

45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Come on.

46
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
But wait, Highlander, there can only be one.

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Like today's, no, you get an episode dedicated to you.

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
That's what I was trying to talk about.

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Ah, it was a weird jump in my brain.

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I know.

51
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
There can only be one patron or only one immortal?

52
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
That's a terrible slogan for patrons.

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
There can be many, if you want to be one.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Many patrons, only one immortal, so we'll talk about that later.

55
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
But today's patron, today's, here, today's dedicated immortal patron.

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Ah.

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Because immortalizing them in the podcast.

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Took you like a long time to get there, but you got there.

59
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It was rough.

60
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Next up is Shosuro Ajo.

61
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Shosuro Ajo?

62
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
That's the name.

63
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Ah, I love it.

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I love it.

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Thanks, Oshiro.

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Thanks, Oshiro.

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Our patrons have the most awesome names.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And now, fuck it, let's play.

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Wow.

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The sweaty armpit is much, it's a little different on the inside than I thought it

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
would be from the sign outside.

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Yeah, it's more than just a tent, you know.

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
It's like 15 tents combined.

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Into a mega tent, yeah.

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Sewn together, like just one long, it's impressive.

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Yeah, when it rains, you get clean as well.

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
It's like a double, it's a win-win, really.

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Zed will never come to the smelly armpit when it's raining.

79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
No, I gotta stay, you know, gotta keep that base dirt layer on.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Well, that's what protects the skin.

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Yep.

82
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
So, um.

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Would you like me to list off my top three favorite dishes?

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
I really would.

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Okay, well, we have some ketchup soup, which has a little bit of basil,

86
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
it's sprinkled on top.

87
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Big fan.

88
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:03,000
We have all-dressed chip breadcrumbs that have been smushed on top of

89
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
chicken.

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And finally, there is this delectable dessert that has sweet gravy on top

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
of these tiny potato sticks and a lot of cheese.

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
That's for dessert, though.

93
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Like describing my poor childhood meals.

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I heard ketchup soup and was just like, Carla too, Carla too would be like,

95
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
ate that.

96
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Right up there with a piece of Wonder Bread wrapped around a hot dog.

97
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Oh, heck yes, Cheez Whiz, if you're lucky.

98
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Yes.

99
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Zed, what are your top three favorite dishes here?

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I think my number one is stew, which is written on the menu with a question

101
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
mark because it doesn't fully constitute stew because you need to have

102
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
potatoes, vegetables and meat and every time it's missing one of the three.

103
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Changes the broth.

104
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Yeah, it's just kind of like you're rolling the dice on that one,

105
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
aren't you?

106
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
A little bit of intrigue every time for dinner.

107
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Yeah, exactly.

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
I like a good surprise.

109
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Most of the time it's the vegetables that you lose, you know,

110
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
which is OK.

111
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I'm also fond of the, you know, seared elk with mint reduction.

112
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
It's so fancy.

113
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Sounds fucking good.

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
We went from stew that is missing one of three key ingredients.

115
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,000
We went from ketchup soup and an all dress crumb chip chicken to seared elk

116
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
with a mint reduction.

117
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Is Zee ordering off the kids menu and Zed is ordering off the real menu?

118
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
That's exactly what I was thinking.

119
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I thought there was only one menu.

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Choose one of the ones that you can color on.

121
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
You got to turn it over.

122
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
There's more on the other side.

123
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Can never get through that maze in one go though.

124
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And then for dessert is the strawberry cake with vanilla compote.

125
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I've seen about that.

126
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
It's good.

127
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
I like that.

128
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
It's like a reverse of what you would normally see.

129
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Yeah.

130
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
How they do it.

131
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
We'll never know.

132
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
How's Moot feeling about this food establishment?

133
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Moot is definitely leaning towards the adult menu over the kids menu,

134
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
but he likes the sound of the crushed up chip chicken.

135
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Like he really is intrigued by that.

136
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
What did Sully and Moot order?

137
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Did you take one of the suggestions or did you?

138
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Moot saw that they also had just cherry turnovers on the menu for dessert.

139
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
So he just ordered like several servings of that.

140
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Hell yeah.

141
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Sully went off menu and wanted and wanted his seared elk steak to be crusted in the all dress chips.

142
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Mind blowing.

143
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
You've changed Zed's life with that.

144
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
My life and also the chef's life.

145
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Right?

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I'm sure the chefs love modifiers.

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
You know, it really makes their day that much better.

148
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
One of those secret menu hacks.

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Yeah, I think they do like that.

150
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Well, you got to be able to stretch those ingredients so they don't go bad, right?

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Because we're worried about all trash chips going down.

152
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
That's a real concern.

153
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Look, a bag has never lasted that long.

154
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I don't know if they go bad.

155
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
It's true.

156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Do they go bad in more than like a day?

157
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I'll never know.

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I think with the amount of saltiness that goes on to these specific chips,

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
and I love salty things, but I just can't handle it,

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
and the vinegar, I think those chips would last a long time.

161
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
They will last forever.

162
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I think they would.

163
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Probably true.

164
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Welcome to our podcast in a podcast all about all dress chips.

165
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Chip chat.

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Chip chat.

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
As the evening goes on, you enjoy your meals

168
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,000
and you regale each other with different stories of guarding and or adventuring.

169
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
We just tell them about the other cities that we've been to.

170
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Not even the adventures, just the fact that we've been there and seen them.

171
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Mind blowing.

172
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
We believe everything that you said, even if it's not true.

173
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
We thought cities were just something that like merchants talked about,

174
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
but like really merchants just kind of go back to their home and then come back here.

175
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
The time has passed so quickly in all of this involved chatter of cities and food.

176
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
You catch out of the corner of your eye in the window, it's dark now.

177
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Like it's the sun has long set.

178
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
And in fact, most of the people in the tavern,

179
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
not that there were a huge number to begin with,

180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
but they have all left too and there's just the one barkeep.

181
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,000
She's standing just cleaning up, looking over kind of to her imaginary watch.

182
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And like, can I?

183
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Oh, no, Baron was taking care of it, right?

184
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
I can't even move you along with the bill.

185
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Oh, but we can leave.

186
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Oh, yeah.

187
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Yeah, no, we don't want to take up.

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Can I have a beer to go?

189
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Please.

190
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Sure.

191
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Oh, yeah. Do you have go cups?

192
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Well, we have mugs.

193
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I mean, we've got to bring them back.

194
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Yeah, I can keep yours.

195
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
I know where Z and Z work.

196
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
I'll find the mugs.

197
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
It's okay.

198
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
She pours four ales and brings them over to you.

199
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
So what are you four up to tonight?

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Looking for trouble?

201
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Was that what it was Sullivan?

202
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Looking for the night screams, yeah.

203
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Yeah, yeah, because we're not we're not looking for trouble because I think that gives a wrong impression of what we're trying to do because we're like anti trouble.

204
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Yeah, not the colloquial looking for trouble, but we're actively searching to find the source of the trouble.

205
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Oh, some sort of trouble.

206
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Stoppers.

207
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Yeah, we want to know where all that Wayland's coming from.

208
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
And I'm not talking about what's coming from probably Maggie's tent.

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
If you know what I mean.

210
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Yeah, don't swing by Maggie's tent.

211
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
She nasty.

212
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
If you if she's mentioned it, watch yourself.

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yeah, she has and she gave me some ice.

214
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Okay.

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Okay.

216
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Now, she changed my diapers.

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
I don't want to hear this.

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
That cover my ears.

219
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
I do.

220
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
She changed everybody's diapers.

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
How old is Maggie?

222
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
You can't put an age on on a woman like that.

223
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Yeah.

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Yeah.

225
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Age can't hold her down.

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Don't put it in that box.

227
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Yeah.

228
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Yeah.

229
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
So what happens to screaming stuff?

230
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
And who's 10?

231
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I just like, you know, you know, it sounds like somebody's turning into a ghost or an

232
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
elephant stepping on a mouse or the Smith's doing their taxes.

233
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Or if said would like to offer up this information, it could also be the night

234
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
hunters or the busily grares.

235
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I don't know.

236
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I don't know.

237
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I don't know.

238
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
I don't know what time it starts.

239
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
But if you're going to go, you should probably go now.

240
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
OK, then.

241
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Thank you for your service.

242
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Thanks for the to go flagons.

243
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Of course, I'll come pick them up at the at the front gate there tomorrow.

244
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
There's something about leaving a bar and going out into the crisp night air and

245
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
it's dark, but you went into the bar when it was light outside.

246
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Do you remember going to bars?

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
I kind of miss that and I hate bars.

248
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Yeah, not my favorite either.

249
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
But like it sounds real good.

250
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Yeah, it does.

251
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
You step out of the sweaty armpit.

252
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:35,000
The city before you is not the same as when you went in because it's darker

253
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
because we're drunk.

254
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Yes.

255
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And yes, full of turnovers.

256
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Nailed it.

257
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,000
As the last of you leave, you hear the door quickly shut and then lock that.

258
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Did you mean zip?

259
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
It was a tent.

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
The door quickly.

261
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I forgot we were in a tent.

262
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
She really did mean last call.

263
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Hey, yeah, that's normal.

264
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Nothing to be worried about.

265
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
You turn and you begin to figure out which way you're going to go.

266
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,000
But where you saw tents and small houses before, you see high walled buildings

267
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
built tightly together that stretch high into the sky.

268
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And the light of the moon barely crests over.

269
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It's difficult to see.

270
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000
There are deep shadows that fill the cracks and crevices before you.

271
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And those shadows appear to move and follow you.

272
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Ahead, where there was a clear path, you now see five long streets that seemingly extend

273
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
as far as the eye can see, where you only see darkness at the end.

274
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
How long were we in there for?

275
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Uh, I don't know.

276
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Sud never really taught me how to read the time.

277
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Yeah, time's a little funny in this witty armpit, you know?

278
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Is this what it always looks like at night?

279
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Yeah, I want to retract that because I don't think however long you spend in a place

280
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
changes the physical world outside of that place.

281
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
So I want, that was, you know what, that was the, that was the ale talking.

282
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Uh, maybe shouldn't have had a couple because, you know, we're investigating and stuff.

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
But, you know, new city, new friends.

284
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
I'm not going to make excuses for myself.

285
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I mean, drinking on the job is a requirement.

286
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
So we're doing our job.

287
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Okay, there we go.

288
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Mm-hmm.

289
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
So does it look like this at night?

290
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
A lot?

291
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Zed, I think what?

292
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
This doesn't quite feel right.

293
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:48,000
No, this is, uh, I mean, we've seen some weird shit, but this is like weirder shit.

294
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
These buildings, they're so high.

295
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Yeah, real tall tents.

296
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
I don't even think these are tents.

297
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Zed, I think these are like made of stone and stuff.

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:13,000
A crack of energy is heard and rings out, and a high-pitched whine rings out on the air that rushes towards you and blasts you backwards.

299
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Make a dexterity saving throw, everybody.

300
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Oh, that's okay.

301
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Well, that's not the best.

302
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Uh, 13.

303
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Uh, natural one.

304
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Hey!

305
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
12 for me.

306
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I got a 19.

307
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Z, Moot, and Sully, you, you're pushed backwards.

308
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Z, you manage to stand, stand, you keep your ground.

309
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:43,000
You're not knocked back, but Moot and Sully, you're knocked back and into a, like, a brick wall that certainly wasn't there before because you just turned and left a tent.

310
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Zed, you are blown back so hard you hit the back of your head and you take three bludgeoning damage.

311
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
No.

312
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And are stunned for one minute.

313
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Whoa, Zed, you okay?

314
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Uh.

315
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Sibling.

316
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
That was metal.

317
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Was it? Did it look cool?

318
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
It looked really cool.

319
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
It looked really cool.

320
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Yeah, that was super cool.

321
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
What was that?

322
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Oh yeah, we should, what was that?

323
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Angry wind.

324
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Is that a thing here? Do you have angry wind that throws people around?

325
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Uh, not that I remember.

326
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I mean, this whole place seems a little bit weird.

327
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Weird. I don't know, am I too drunk? How many fingers am I holding up?

328
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Four.

329
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Okay, I mean, you never taught me how to count, so that seems right.

330
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
All right, I'm not dreaming then.

331
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:45,000
No, I think, uh, uh, environment seems to be changing and, um, I don't think that just happens on its own.

332
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I think someone's got to do that.

333
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Hey, come out here and fight like a, you know, like person thing that's fightable.

334
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:04,000
You hear flapping of wings and a low moaning whale coming from overhead and behind you in direction.

335
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Is that the screaming?

336
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Or is it the owl that the mayor baron mentioned?

337
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Oh, come on, that owl was bullshit.

338
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
I thought the owl was real, but, uh...

339
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I just don't think that your baron mare is very trustworthy.

340
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Really?

341
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
A man who's been trying to grow a mustache for the four months that I've known him, I think is very trustworthy.

342
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
But if he was trustworthy, wouldn't he have already grown that mustache for you, Z?

343
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Sully raises a good point.

344
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Overhead in the dim night sky, you see huge wingspan coast out over this large wall that you've backed into and some of you have hit your head into.

345
00:17:43,000 --> 00:18:06,000
And it looks like you can see two figures in what looks like large, like, claws as it soars overhead and then moves towards these five different streets and almost like flickers in your vision, like between them quickly.

346
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Everybody make a perception check.

347
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I am killing it with these rules.

348
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Ten.

349
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Eleven.

350
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Fourteen.

351
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Nineteen.

352
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Look at that!

353
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Drunk Z is on their game.

354
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Moot, Zed, and Sully, you...

355
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Like, the sight of this thing flickers for you and you can't tell which one has gone down.

356
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
In fact, you each see different ones.

357
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Sully, you see it go to the far right.

358
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Moot, you see it go straight down the middle.

359
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Zed, you see it go one left of center.

360
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Bee, you see it go down just right of center.

361
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I'm just going to start walking in that direction.

362
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Come on, Zed.

363
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000
No, Kavin.

364
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Oh, I think it's off to the right here.

365
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
I think you're just one...

366
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
You're just one to the left.

367
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I think it's this one.

368
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Nothing gets by Drunk Z.

369
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Yeah, trust me.

370
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I've hung out with Drunk Z a lot.

371
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Mm-hmm.

372
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
I mean, every night, but yeah.

373
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
I mean, if Drunk Z says that's what we got to do.

374
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Well, you know what?

375
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
It looks like they're all going in the same direction anyway.

376
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Let's go.

377
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Okay, before we go though, I'm feeling like I'm really lacking a shield.

378
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
So I'm going to use a spell slot to cast Shield of Faith,

379
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
which just kind of gives me a plus two bonus to my AC.

380
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
It really just looks like Sandy the shield, but much cooler.

381
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
It's Syndra the shield.

382
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
You follow Z's drunk direction,

383
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
and you begin walking down this long passageway,

384
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
this long street ahead of you.

385
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
There are no real separation of buildings.

386
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Like, they all kind of just are built together.

387
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Like, it's a smooth wall.

388
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
In each, like, every 20 feet or so,

389
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
there's a doorway, and it's recessed.

390
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
There's no physical door to it,

391
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
but deep shadow that extends in each of these doorways as you walk past.

392
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Does anybody feel like the shadows are following us?

393
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I do kind of feel like we all be a watched.

394
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Like, I know your own shadow follows you.

395
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Sorry, Moot, what was that?

396
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
I just definitely have that feeling.

397
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Okay, I do want to make it known that most of the time

398
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
your own shadow does follow you,

399
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
but those ones seem a little different.

400
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Just most of the time?

401
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Yeah, if you close your eyes, it's not there.

402
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Right.

403
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Uh, have you seen any animals like that before,

404
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
and what was it holding?

405
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
It was really big. Was it holding people?

406
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Couldn't quite tell.

407
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Do you have a bird snatching people?

408
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Z, are people going missing?

409
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Uh...

410
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Nobody that I know, but I mean, I only really know you, so...

411
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Yeah, I just know you and Maggie.

412
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Yeah, I know the Baron.

413
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Wait a minute, you said that this place, people used to be happier, right?

414
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Oh, so much happier.

415
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
And then people started being not happy.

416
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Yeah.

417
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
And people started walking into you.

418
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Yeah.

419
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
I'm theorizing right now that there's, here it is,

420
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
there's a big bird that's coming in

421
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
and snatching happy people

422
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
and taking them somewhere and sucking the happiness out of them,

423
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
making them scream,

424
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
and then bringing them back,

425
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
dropping them off to live their sad, unhappy lives,

426
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
bumping into people,

427
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
and being unhappy.

428
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
That's very logical. Wow.

429
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Why? What does the happiness do that they take from them?

430
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Well, I don't know, doesn't everyone want to be more happy?

431
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I know. Do you think they harvest it?

432
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, Zed.

433
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Are you not happy?

434
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Are you not happy with me?

435
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000
No, no, I'm just saying, like,

436
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
don't you ever think to yourself, Zed,

437
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000
that you're happy, but you could be happier, you know?

438
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
No, I'm happy every day I wake up

439
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
and I find you falling on top of the tent.

440
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
We just learned there are other cities out there.

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
There's, like, more to life than we thought there was.

442
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Yeah, I'm going to have to sit down and think about that one.

443
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Yeah, me too.

444
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Oh, no, not here, not here.

445
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
No, Zed, let's just keep going.

446
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
You can sit down on it later.

447
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Okay, okay, I'll put that thought behind my brain

448
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
because I can't really focus on two things at once.

449
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
The four of you carry on down this passageway,

450
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
and it seems to go on for a long time.

451
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
After this conversation, like, you're just walking

452
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
and this echoing sound of your footsteps

453
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
are just bouncing off of the walls.

454
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Every once in a while, you think you catch, like,

455
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
a glint of light past one of these doorways,

456
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
but if you look closer, it quickly fades and is gone.

457
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
It takes several minutes before you reach the end

458
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
of this long corridor,

459
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:17,000
and it appears, like, just like a dark, black void

460
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
at the end once you get there.

461
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Like just a wall of blackness?

462
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Not a wall, but like the walls fade out

463
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
and, like, blend into this darkness.

464
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Should I throw my shoe in there?

465
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Yeah.

466
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Okay.

467
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I throw my shoe.

468
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
You throw your shoe, and when that big creature

469
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
flew overhead and went down one of the paths,

470
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
you see that same flicker effect.

471
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Like, you see, like, almost like the image transforms back

472
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
to the place at the beginning of the tent.

473
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
You see a darkly illuminated castle,

474
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
the town hall where the Baron resides.

475
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
You see the tavern itself.

476
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
You see Sandy and Axelina sitting at the front gate,

477
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
and then it fades back to black.

478
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
That was home.

479
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
That was our home, Zed.

480
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Whoa.

481
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Are you homesick?

482
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yeah.

483
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
How about you?

484
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
I guess this is the farthest I've ever been away from home.

485
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Moot, where are we?

486
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
You're well-traveled.

487
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
You probably know this location, then.

488
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Yeah, maybe.

489
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Sully, what do you think?

490
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Does this look familiar?

491
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Oh, we're definitely in an alternate dimension

492
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
placed inside, like, a little pocket dimension

493
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
placed inside your city.

494
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Uh...

495
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
That's what I was going to say.

496
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

497
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Yeah, because 40% of the time,

498
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
pocket dimensions happen, like, every time in a city.

499
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Whoa.

500
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000
That's just math.

501
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Yeah.

502
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Maybe I should use my arcana

503
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
to see if there's anything I can figure out here.

504
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Is it all magical?

505
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Am I just the one that's magical?

506
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Yeah, roll it.

507
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Is there magic in everything?

508
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
This is intense, sibling.

509
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Yeah, I'm going to get in on this arcana roll.

510
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
13?

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
You know what? Me too, even though I'm real bad at it.

512
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Yeah, me too. Yeah.

513
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
You never know what you're going to hit, right?

514
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
You never know.

515
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Oh, I rolled a two, you guys.

516
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Nine.

517
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
15.

518
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Ooh, Moot got the highest.

519
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Sully lives here now.

520
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Yeah, checks out.

521
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Moot and Z...

522
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Yeah, you definitely get a sense

523
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
that there's some illusory effect.

524
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Sully's onto something with what he's saying,

525
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
and the flashing between places,

526
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
you don't feel like you're there,

527
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
but it's an image flashing.

528
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Perhaps it's trying to distract.

529
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
That's kind of the feel that Z and Moot get.

530
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Moot, do you feel like this is a really good distraction?

531
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Something's going on,

532
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
and I'm not entirely sure what it is.

533
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
I dabble a little bit in the magics,

534
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
but this isn't like anything I've ever seen before.

535
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Okay, I mean, I dabble in god magic

536
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
in the sense that my god lets me do some stuff,

537
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
you know, god, lowercase g,

538
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
but I don't really know what to do with this either.

539
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Should I just poke my head through?

540
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Oh, okay. I'll look away, though, just in case.

541
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Do I need to hit something with my axe?

542
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Keep your axe out.

543
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Okay, done, and I have my axe out.

544
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
I'd like to somehow stealthily poke my head through this illusion.

545
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Okay, you're trying to move forward.

546
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I may die.

547
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Zee, you're looking back down the way you came.

548
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Yep.

549
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
And Zed, you have your axe out, and Moot,

550
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
you're just being Moot.

551
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Rock it.

552
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
So Sully, you're just trying to walk forward

553
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
until something changes, essentially, yes?

554
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Yeah, pretty much.

555
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
You walk forward, and then...

556
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
So Zed and Moot, you would see as Sully walks forward,

557
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
you see kind of that flickering effect again,

558
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
but it's not landing on any one particular location.

559
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Sully, you don't see it as you're walking in

560
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
until you get to a point where it starts to...

561
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
the darkness starts to open up,

562
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
and it's opening onto the castle.

563
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Like, you see it clearly.

564
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Like, you're opening, and you come around to the corner,

565
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
and there's the castle now.

566
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
You see this large beast that you were following

567
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
up in the sky, and it's landing down behind the castle.

568
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Zee, you turn around,

569
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
and as Sully's walking forward,

570
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
you hear, like, slow, dragging footsteps.

571
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
You don't see them.

572
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
It's gotten darker,

573
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
and you hear just these, like, slow, like,

574
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
one foot off to the side, and then it hits,

575
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
and then there's another step,

576
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
and then they start to multiply.

577
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
There's more of them coming down towards you.

578
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Oh, gosh, I have two things that I want to do.

579
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I want to break my concentration

580
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
and cast my Protection of Good and Evil,

581
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
but I also really want that extra AC.

582
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Oh, I hate playing casters.

583
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Hey. Hey, everybody.

584
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000
There's, like, the castle's, like, right here,

585
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
and the bird landed in the backyard.

586
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
I have command.

587
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Okay.

588
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
The only thing is I can't quite see them,

589
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
so I want to start walking in that direction,

590
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
looking to see what I can.

591
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
So you're walking towards the sound?

592
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Yep.

593
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Roger that.

594
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I haven't said anything to anybody else.

595
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I'm just walking away with my one shoe off.

596
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Just one shoe.

597
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Do I find Zee's shoe?

598
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
You see Zee's shoe.

599
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Oh, okay, I pick it up.

600
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Oh, thanks.

601
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Zed and Moot, you hear, softly,

602
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Zee walking off.

603
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
I assume you have heavy boots.

604
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
I think so.

605
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
But also, like, mixed in with this dragging foot sound.

606
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
And it's nighttime, right, Ross?

607
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Yes.

608
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
All right.

609
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
It appears to be night, like, where Sully is,

610
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
where you are, night all in general.

611
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000
I'm going to take out a torch,

612
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
and I'm going to cast my light spell on it

613
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
just to give us some more light in this situation.

614
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
See if we can see what's making that noise.

615
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
You're casting magic?

616
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
I am casting magic.

617
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Oh, no.

618
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
But I rolled a 15, so it should be all right

619
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
on that wild magic surge.

620
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
No wild magic.

621
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Fine.

622
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Nerd.

623
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Your light spell goes off,

624
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
and it's almost like this light spell hits this wall,

625
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
and then the wall disperses,

626
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000
and ahead of you, you see this corridor

627
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
filled with undead,

628
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
like, five feet in front of you.

629
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Is there a good...

630
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
So I can command up to 60 feet?

631
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Sure.

632
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Okay, I just want to command them.

633
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Approach.

634
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Come here, please.

635
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
That was two natural ones in a row.

636
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Oh, yeah, five of them snap to attention

637
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
and just hop on over.

638
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Well, hello.

639
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
So what brings you five here?

640
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Okay, I think there's a language barrier.

641
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I'm going to turn behind me.

642
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Does anybody speak...

643
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
I'm going to turn back to them.

644
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I'm sorry.

645
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Could you tell me what language you speak,

646
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
but in common?

647
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
That was longer than the last one.

648
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Okay.

649
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Does anybody speak...

650
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Is that giant?

651
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
It sounds kind of giant.

652
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
And I want to say in giant...

653
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Hey?

654
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
What's up?

655
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
And from behind you yell,

656
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Hey, Z, I found your shoe!

657
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Oh, that's excellent.

658
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
I can stop walking around with my shoe on.

659
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Thank you.

660
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
I made some friends while you were away.

661
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Moot, would you like to come and meet them?

662
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
The greater horde has now caught up to

663
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
the five that got snappy.

664
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Unless you do anything against

665
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
you to make a dexterity saving throw, Z.

666
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
I'll make that dex save.

667
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
See, he's trying to have a conversation.

668
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Right.

669
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
I got a 12.

670
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Two of them reach out and try and

671
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
grab you and like slip off of your

672
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
arms as you take a step back

673
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
as they now overtake

674
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
the five that you had commanded.

675
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Hey now, we were having a conversation.

676
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
That wasn't very polite.

677
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
What did you tell them, Zed?

678
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
You gotta make sure that your dialect with giant

679
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
speak is like the right one, otherwise

680
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I said something rude.

681
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Oh, yeah.

682
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
What's up?

683
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
And go fuck yourself some free

684
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Sibylone giant.

685
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
I know you mix them up all the time.

686
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
All right. I don't want to.

687
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
I think they want to hug us, but

688
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Hug them then.

689
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
You know,

690
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Maggie never really gave us hugs

691
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
growing up, so I'm not really a big

692
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
fan of them.

693
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Punch them then.

694
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Yeah. Is that like, I mean,

695
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Maggie never punched us, so

696
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
No, but you know,

697
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
if you really don't want to hug, just give them

698
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
a punch.

699
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Set your boundaries, Zee.

700
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Okay, unarm strike.

701
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Can I see any of this going on

702
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
from where I am? Everything! What are you two

703
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
doing?

704
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
I'm watching

705
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
in astonishment

706
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
as Zee's just trying to

707
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
communicate. Zombies get closer

708
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
and then they back off.

709
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
I'm making the sign of like, get away

710
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
from the undeads, but

711
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
no, no one's...

712
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
23 to hit. Putting in some firm

713
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
boundaries. Yep, that'll hit it.

714
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
That's a 3 plus

715
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
4. 7.

716
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Okay, tell me how you kill the zombie.

717
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
It's your bare hands. I'm trying

718
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
to establish boundaries.

719
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
And if you keep trying

720
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
to grab at me like that, this makes my

721
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
job very difficult.

722
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Now please, and I'm just going to

723
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
punch like the center of the mass.

724
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
But again, I think I'm wearing

725
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
a lot of armor, so like, I got

726
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
the pointy stuff on my

727
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
hands, and it's just like a classic

728
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
jab to the center of them.

729
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Yeah, no, it collapses

730
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
the chest and

731
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
they fall to the ground, and then

732
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
everything almost stops for a moment.

733
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
And then the moaning gets

734
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
louder, and they seem to pick up

735
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
intensity and pace towards you.

736
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Hey, I think everybody should probably

737
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
run back here, because look,

738
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
there's a castle we could hide in. I mean,

739
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
seek refuge. I mean,

740
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
find the big bird.

741
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
I like your line of thinking. That's a pretty good

742
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
idea, I think. Maybe we should go.

743
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Do we know, though? Zed, do these

744
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
zombies sound like

745
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
the Smiths

746
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
doing taxes?

747
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
No, that's like, way more

748
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
agonized. Do you think it

749
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
sounds maybe like

750
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
a busily grair? No,

751
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
that sounds more like badass.

752
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Okay.

753
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000
It's the middle!

754
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Wow. It's a big showstopper,

755
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
because it's a big day.

756
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
It's a huge day. So big. Hey,

757
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
did y'all hear? Our voices

758
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
300,000 times?

759
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
You did! You did!

760
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Maybe not you individually,

761
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
but the collective

762
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
you of listeners.

763
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
You contributed to the problem.

764
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
You've encouraged

765
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
these shenanigans. First off,

766
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
how dare you? Yeah, geez,

767
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
don't encourage us. We don't deserve

768
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
that. But hey, we made it

769
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
to 300,000 downloads. What does

770
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
that mean? People listen to us

771
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
all over the place in a lot. And that's

772
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
completely overwhelming and wonderful.

773
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
That's a crazy number. Yeah,

774
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
it's so much. It just seems

775
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
like yesterday that we were like, guys, we hit

776
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
100 downloads and it wasn't just Russ.

777
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I know. We pulled all

778
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
of our friends and family and it wasn't just

779
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
them. Yeah, because we all just figured

780
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
it was Russ. I pulled all my friends and

781
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
family and it definitely wasn't them.

782
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
My dad tried once

783
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
and he said,

784
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
it's just not for me. My brother tried and he said,

785
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I don't get it. And I was like,

786
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
you're only five years older than me. That's fair. Get a

787
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
sense of humor. Am I right?

788
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Right. Right.

789
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Carla's entire family supports

790
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
us on Patreon. Right.

791
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Thank you, Carla's family.

792
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
And also all of you for listening and bumping

793
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
us up to that really enormous number.

794
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
It's so crazy and we love you

795
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
and thank you because

796
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
jeepers creepers. That's just

797
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
wild. And where did you get them peepers?

798
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Probably

799
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
somewhere dark because

800
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
it's the darkest time. Oh, no.

801
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
We don't know when we're releasing this.

802
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Who knows? It's the darkest timeline

803
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
somewhere. Isn't that

804
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
the same? That's horrible. Yeah, that's the silver

805
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
lining, Carla. Nice.

806
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Somewhere people are losing their minds.

807
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Somewhere. Yeah.

808
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Alright. Well, let's bring it back up.

809
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Thank you so much for listening to us 300,000

810
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
times. Yes, you. You specifically.

811
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
But we just want to say thank you.

812
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
And that's all we got. So we're going to get you back to the

813
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
episode with our eternal

814
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
praises and tell you that we

815
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
love you and we'll see you all

816
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
next week.

817
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
We'll see you in like 30 seconds because we'll

818
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
be back to the show.

819
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I don't know how this works. Okay, bye.

820
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
We love you. Bye. We've done this how many

821
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
times?

822
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Zed and Zee make a perception

823
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
check as you're turning and leaving

824
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
casually.

825
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Fourteen.

826
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Five.

827
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Fourteen.

828
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000
You do a scan of

829
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
the crowd and some

830
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
of the faces of these

831
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
undead seem familiar

832
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
to you. One of them

833
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
does look like

834
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
one of the smiths.

835
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Zee, is the smiths doing

836
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
their taxes?

837
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
What do you mean, Zed? Look at it.

838
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
It's Griselda Smith.

839
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Are they really doing taxes in there

840
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
though? I don't know, but they're looking pretty undead.

841
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should really get back

842
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
to Sully.

843
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
I'm feeling a little uncomfortable

844
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
now. Bye, Smith. Sully's standing at the edge

845
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
like, come on, come on,

846
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
come on.

847
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Come in.

848
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Just gotta move kinda slow.

849
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Everybody rushes

850
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
out at their own pace. You bound

851
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
up to the castle out of what looks like

852
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
just one of the regular

853
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
streets. Not even the streets because

854
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
there's an extra gate

855
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
that went into the castle. They're just filing

856
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
into this front

857
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
area of

858
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
the castle where you had previously parked

859
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Rolf. Who, you parked somewhere else, I'm

860
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
assuming. Oh, yeah, definitely.

861
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Because we had to take him to go

862
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
to the tavern.

863
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
We're just gonna leave our

864
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
donkey in the driveway

865
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
of the Bear Marins.

866
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Animals are safe. It's fine.

867
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
I'm just asking. You're going up

868
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
the entrance, you're going behind the building.

869
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Where are you going?

870
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
I think behind the building because that's

871
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
where Sully saw the bird go.

872
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
So he's maybe running ahead being like

873
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
come on everyone, this way.

874
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
You rush around the building

875
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
everybody else following behind you.

876
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Sully, you're first to see it.

877
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
But as everybody else comes around the corner, you also see

878
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
there's another building that previously

879
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Z and Zed

880
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
you had no knowledge

881
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
of this extra building back there.

882
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
And it's illuminated.

883
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
There's this pathway illuminated

884
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
by torches. You see this

885
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
big winged creature

886
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
standing up behind

887
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
it. You see the head of this

888
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
creature up and behind this building

889
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
shadowed, lit

890
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
by the moonlight.

891
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And then there are

892
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
a door slightly cracked open

893
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
and you see just a

894
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
thin light, like

895
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
flickering fire light coming from

896
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
inside this building. Do I recognize this

897
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
creature? You can roll

898
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
nature? Nature is probably good.

899
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Nature really was smart.

900
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
How about an eight?

901
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
No, you don't recognize this creature.

902
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
It doesn't look of this

903
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
world, I guess you could say.

904
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Nothing that

905
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
you have seen in the natural

906
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
nature in your

907
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
travels. Well that building's new.

908
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Like this is a new

909
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
like someone just put this building up

910
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
or you've never been

911
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
back here? Zed, have we been back here before?

912
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Maybe when we were drunk?

913
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
I definitely haven't seen this building.

914
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
What about that garden? Have you thrown up in that garden?

915
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
You know, it's all gardens

916
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
blurred together under vomit.

917
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Okay, well friends,

918
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
I can't comfortably lead you into the building

919
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
knowing everything is going to be safe and okay.

920
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Plus there's that really scary bird

921
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
up top. But I want to let you

922
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
know that I'm here to, Zed and I

923
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
were here to do our guardly duties.

924
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Cool. Is there someone

925
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
that you need to alert in terms

926
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
of zombie

927
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
attack?

928
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
This is never happened before.

929
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Maybe we should talk to Chief Benson?

930
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Is there a guard that lives on the property?

931
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Well that's X.

932
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Because is this maybe a guard house?

933
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Oh, that's a good idea.

934
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Oh, so you're saying we should just go barge in that door

935
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
that's slightly ajar?

936
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Well, I mean it's slightly ajar.

937
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
It's basically a welcome, isn't it?

938
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Well, an invitation, at least.

939
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Okay, let's just hope the bird doesn't try to claw at us

940
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
as we get on closer.

941
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
You are stealthily moving towards it.

942
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
You are just moving towards it.

943
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Stealthily. Stealth, it's the only good thing I do.

944
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
That and steal stuff. Everybody has to make it to us.

945
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
I'm a disadvantage for stealth, y'all.

946
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
You?

947
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
No.

948
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
And so many shields.

949
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Can I, I can do something

950
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
to help with that. Help, maybe you can

951
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
hold their armor steady

952
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
as they walk forward.

953
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Yeah, I'll be like a human

954
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
or halfling elastic band

955
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
to keep them from jangling.

956
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Perfect.

957
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
I got a 3 total.

958
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Wear me like a belt.

959
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Just wrap yourself around me.

960
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Hold it all together.

961
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
I had an 18, Russ.

962
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
I also rolled an 18.

963
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Oh geez, an 8. Alright, you guys distract them.

964
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Forgotten going quietly.

965
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
I don't know what quiet is.

966
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Moot and Sully,

967
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
you realize, Sully,

968
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
you realize that the belt situation is

969
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
not working and you zip forward

970
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
with Moot. Zed and Zee,

971
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
you

972
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
more, more

973
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
clangily

974
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
carry forward, but no one

975
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
seems to come out

976
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
of the building.

977
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
But by the time you reach

978
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
the door, you hear the moaning

979
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
of the undead

980
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
following you around

981
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
this castle. You peer in

982
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
and there are torches

983
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
lit all around this room. You see

984
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
a dark robed figure standing

985
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
up at a pedestal

986
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
of sorts. There are

987
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
two human figures

988
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
crouched down before

989
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
this robed figure.

990
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
There's this illuminated light between

991
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
them. It's not a torch.

992
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Almost floating in front

993
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
of them. And behind this

994
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
robed figure is like this

995
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
wavy black

996
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
and purple.

997
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
It looks almost fluid.

998
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
The wall itself is like this

999
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
undulating

1000
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
black and purple fluid behind

1001
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
that takes up almost the entire wall.

1002
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Russ, do these robes look familiar

1003
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
to us at all? Maybe someone we met

1004
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
earlier that night in an office?

1005
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Perhaps they are dark brown robes?

1006
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
The colors

1007
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
themselves aren't

1008
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
too much to match. But roll

1009
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
perception to see if you can tell

1010
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
if it's like same

1011
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
body stance or stature.

1012
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Fuck you. God damn it.

1013
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
What was it?

1014
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
What? You've been

1015
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
killing it on those tonight, Tracy.

1016
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
The secret of gaming with me is I roll

1017
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
really poorly all the time.

1018
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,000
You're an Amy. What do we got there?

1019
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
I want to show you my 20 but it's not working.

1020
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
We believe you.

1021
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
The yin and yang,

1022
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
we've achieved bAlydince.

1023
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Where's your 20, Tom?

1024
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
I had like a 16.

1025
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Immediately you recognize

1026
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
it as Mayor Barron.

1027
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Everybody else,

1028
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
there's some that just don't get it.

1029
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
I won't point fingers.

1030
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
But some that just don't get that connection. Others

1031
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
it takes a minute but you get it

1032
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
instantly as soon as you see this figure standing

1033
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
up at this pedestal.

1034
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
I think he smells a certain way.

1035
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Whatever.

1036
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
It's the Sandalwood.

1037
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
I was going to say it was Sandalwood-y.

1038
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
It's whatever he puts in his...

1039
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
It's whatever he's been using on his face

1040
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
all the time to try and grow his facial hair, you know?

1041
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Mayor Barron?

1042
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
I smelled you a mile away.

1043
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
I didn't think I'd see you here. What's up?

1044
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Whoa, it's the Mayoron?

1045
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Yeah. Wow, that was really good of you, Zed.

1046
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Whoa.

1047
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Picked up on Sully's portmanteau like that.

1048
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
You see the figure look up

1049
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
and like startled, like

1050
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000
gather up a book that's on the

1051
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
pedestal. Whatcha reading, brother?

1052
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
He turns and he says,

1053
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
I...

1054
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
No. No.

1055
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
You can't. You can't

1056
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
stop. No.

1057
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
And he turns

1058
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
and begins to move towards the black

1059
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000
and purple wall. I want to throw something at him.

1060
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Throw it. You got a boot still?

1061
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
No. Yeah. But...

1062
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
You got a boot still? I am.

1063
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
I want to throw the boot. I've just been hanging on to it.

1064
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
There's been no good time to stop and put a shoe on.

1065
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Let's face it.

1066
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
I want to huck a boot.

1067
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Roll a ranged attack. Oh, it was over ten.

1068
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
It was an eleven.

1069
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Plus seven. Yeah. Eighteen.

1070
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Eighteen for boot?

1071
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Take my boot. It's not even mine.

1072
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Take Z's boot. That looks familiar.

1073
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Boot flies through the air. Time slows

1074
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
down. The boot hits the back

1075
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
of Mayor Barron

1076
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
basic. His arms go wide

1077
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
as it connects like center with his spine

1078
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
and the book goes flying.

1079
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
And he turns

1080
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
and looks and like his hood

1081
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
comes off and you see his panic

1082
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
poorly mustached face

1083
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
and he looks at the two people

1084
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
and he turns

1085
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
and leaves the book and jumps through the wall

1086
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
which waves

1087
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
out and then sucks

1088
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
up. And then you hear

1089
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
this loud, not explosion

1090
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
but that same crack of energy you heard

1091
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
when you left the tavern.

1092
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
And the wall goes back to a brick wall

1093
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
and the two people sitting in the center

1094
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
of the room kind of like shake

1095
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
their heads and look around and they're

1096
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
concerned like they don't

1097
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
recognize where they are.

1098
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
You two recognize them as

1099
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Betty and Gareth.

1100
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Obviously. We see them at the

1101
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
bar all the time. Characters we haven't met yet.

1102
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Makes sense to introduce them in the last seconds.

1103
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
It's not like we gave you a lot of NPCs to work with.

1104
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
They're like

1105
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
what's happening?

1106
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Where are we?

1107
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,000
I was hoping you could tell us that.

1108
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Well we were sleeping and then we woke up here.

1109
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Well I think this is the

1110
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Mayor Barron's shed.

1111
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Yeah.

1112
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Oh the mayoral shed.

1113
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Yeah like the man cave right?

1114
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Amu you want to grab that book down there?

1115
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
I know you love books.

1116
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Yeah I'm going to stroll on over and grab that book Russ.

1117
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
It has runes all over the outside.

1118
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
It's a leather book

1119
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,000
and it's like the spine

1120
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
there's runes filling it top to bottom.

1121
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
It looks very important.

1122
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Does it look orcas-y?

1123
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
You open it up and it's filled with passages.

1124
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
All of which you can't read

1125
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
because you can't read.

1126
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Well you can't read either?

1127
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
At all? We're just learning this about Amu.

1128
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Yeah you can't read the specific language.

1129
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
I write down a lot of things

1130
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000
but I can't actually read it.

1131
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
All pictures.

1132
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
You're looking at the book and you listen for a moment

1133
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
and the sound has died down

1134
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
considerably outside.

1135
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Is there a window in this place?

1136
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Did I say there was a window?

1137
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
No I just said the light came from the door.

1138
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
I just want to pop my head out really quick

1139
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
to see if there's still a giant bird behind this building.

1140
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,000
So you go out the door

1141
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
and you immediately don't see any of the

1142
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
undead anymore.

1143
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
And the bird is gone as well.

1144
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
We did it?

1145
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Wow.

1146
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Gawass.

1147
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Yeah. Can I share with you

1148
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
my theory? It just came to me right now.

1149
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Oh absolutely.

1150
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
I think that

1151
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Mayor Baron is also

1152
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
a bird. That's why he chose the

1153
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
name Baron because I'm sure Barons

1154
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
have something to do with birds.

1155
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
I don't know about all those zombies though.

1156
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Other than the fact that

1157
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
our friend was in there.

1158
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
One of the Smiths.

1159
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
No birds?

1160
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
I think they're just dead. That was a good thought though.

1161
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
That was good said.

1162
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
What about you Sully? Any theories?

1163
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
I think we're all sharing them.

1164
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
What if Mayor Baron

1165
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
was controlling the big bird

1166
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
and it would bring him

1167
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
happy people

1168
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
and then he would suck

1169
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
the energy out of them turning them

1170
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
into zombies?

1171
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
All to help make his mustache

1172
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
grow.

1173
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Okay, I like this theory.

1174
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
I'm going to have to circle back

1175
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
to Z's ghostification theory.

1176
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000
I think that's a little more

1177
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
along the lines of what was happening here.

1178
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000
We've all got really good ones.

1179
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Zed, do you have any you want to share?

1180
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
I don't know, I'm just so like

1181
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
this was a night, like I need

1182
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
a drink before my mind

1183
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
explodes.

1184
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Are we still holding our mugs?

1185
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
I was just wondering that actually.

1186
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Do we still have our travel mugs?

1187
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,000
But he said they dropped it.

1188
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
No, the whole time. Watching the zombies

1189
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
approach, just like taking a sip

1190
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
wondering are they going to run?

1191
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
I'm going to hand my travel mug over to Zed.

1192
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
And I actually just remember

1193
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
like you passed it to me and I remember that I actually had one

1194
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
in my left hand the whole time and I'm like whoa

1195
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
and I have two travel mugs and I

1196
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
take alternating sips from the two mugs.

1197
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Thanks Moot.

1198
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
No problem.

1199
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
No problem at all.

1200
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
I guess we should

1201
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
take these people home.

1202
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Oh they know the way home. We should probably go talk to the mayor baron.

1203
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Oh yeah,

1204
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
you guys should probably get out of here.

1205
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
So that your souls don't

1206
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
get eaten.

1207
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Wait, what? We think their souls are getting eaten?

1208
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Oh shit.

1209
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000
You said horrible screaming. I can only assume

1210
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
that's a scream someone makes when

1211
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
they get turned into

1212
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,000
a zombie

1213
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000
but then they're just a shell

1214
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
of a person

1215
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
walking around the town.

1216
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Hold on, new idea. Is everybody

1217
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,000
in the town a zombie and I just didn't notice?

1218
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Are you a zombie? Am I

1219
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
a zombie? Oh gosh, somebody

1220
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
pinched me. I pinch you.

1221
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Well I don't think zombies can ask the question

1222
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
am I a zombie? Okay, well I felt that pinch.

1223
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Oh,

1224
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
zombies don't have self awa- Okay, I'm getting off track.

1225
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
We should go see the mayor baron.

1226
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Okay, you two all right?

1227
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
I think there's a lot of talk of zombies

1228
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
and bird

1229
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,000
people and ghosts

1230
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
I don't know.

1231
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Sully hands his

1232
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
probably like

1233
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
two thirds empty

1234
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,000
go mug

1235
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
to them and is like

1236
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
this might help, I'll get you started

1237
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
anyway and ushers him out the door.

1238
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Okay, thank you

1239
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Zed and Zee and

1240
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000
you, you two.

1241
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,000
They

1242
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
hazily walk off

1243
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
back around the castle.

1244
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Okay, let's go get

1245
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
the baron and then Sully does

1246
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
like the hand and fist.

1247
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Real aggressive.

1248
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Where are you going to get the

1249
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
baron? Back into the castle.

1250
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
He jumped through the portal thing though.

1251
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Doesn't he have to still run the

1252
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
city? Yeah, won't he be there tomorrow morning?

1253
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
That's what I assumed.

1254
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
I mean if he is that's very impressive, but I got the feeling

1255
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
he was bailing completely.

1256
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000
That makes more sense.

1257
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
So you go sit out in Baron

1258
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Mayor Baron's office

1259
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
and you wait there until the next day

1260
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
and nobody shows up. Well, that's

1261
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
not true.

1262
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Mag shows up the next morning

1263
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
and looks in the door.

1264
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
What are you four doing here?

1265
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Hey, Maggie.

1266
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Maggie, I found this note

1267
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,000
on the Mayor Baron's desk that

1268
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,000
said if he disappears

1269
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
he wants Z and Zed

1270
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
to be the new mayor.

1271
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Wait, what?

1272
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Let me see.

1273
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Let me see.

1274
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Moot, did you happen to have me write this by

1275
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
any chance?

1276
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Somebody who wrote it make a deception

1277
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
check. Yes, we definitely

1278
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,000
had Sully write it. Well, because

1279
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
I have a forgery kit.

1280
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Okay, so you get

1281
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
advantage. I was questioning

1282
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
whether Moot could actually read or write.

1283
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
He can.

1284
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Well, that's an 18

1285
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
plus, what was it?

1286
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Deception. Deception.

1287
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
22 or a

1288
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
23.

1289
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
I'd say go for the 23.

1290
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Really pulling it out at the end here.

1291
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
She looks at it and

1292
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
raises one eyebrow over the note

1293
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
and says, well,

1294
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
the seal of approval

1295
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
is here.

1296
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
I guess if he doesn't show up by noon.

1297
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Unorthodox

1298
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
for sure, but definitely on the

1299
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
up and up. Alright, well, I mean

1300
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
they were a write-in ballot, so

1301
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
this is still

1302
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
legit.

1303
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
And Mayor Baron doesn't show up by

1304
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
noon and quickly

1305
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
put into office

1306
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Zed and Zed.

1307
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,000
We fade out on their

1308
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
processional arrangement. They've got

1309
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
sashes. Oh, yeah.

1310
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Huge lavish

1311
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
sashes. Do you have your axes

1312
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,000
like, stapled to the sashes so it's just

1313
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
like a sash of axes as well? Yes.

1314
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Oh, they're like in like loops. Yeah, exactly.

1315
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
They're in like loops. Kind of a little bit like

1316
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Chewie's sash, but with axes.

1317
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Sure, the bandolier, yeah.

1318
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
And as you're riding in the

1319
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
back of Moot and

1320
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Sully's carriage with Rolf pulling you

1321
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
through the streets, everyone has

1322
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
come out, but something you notice

1323
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
is that although everyone is out,

1324
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
two-thirds of the town is missing.

1325
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Dumbgeons and Dragons, Season 2,

1326
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Episode 77,

1327
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
a homesick feeling,

1328
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
yet I was starring Amy More

1329
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
as Sullivan Slyke, Tom Laird

1330
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
as Moot, and me, Russ More,

1331
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000

and B Zelda as Zee.

1334
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000

1356
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Just want to say thank you so much

1357
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
for listening. You have a great week

1358
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
and we're going to talk again real soon.

1359
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Russ right now is thinking of a recipe

1360
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
he could put in the air fryer.

1361
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Covered chips in all-dressed chicken.

1362
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Honestly, 100% cut.

1363
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Egg wash to get it to stick.

1364
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Isn't it just

1365
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
a savory panko?

1366
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Dinner tomorrow night, baby.

1367
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
I got all-dressed chips.

1368
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Here we go.

1369
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Should never not have all-dressed chips.

1370
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Oh, I can't with the all-dressed chip.

1371
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Is it vinegary?

1372
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Is it ketchup?

1373
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
It's all of those.

1374
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
It's like a Dr. Pepper.

1375
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
There's 23 flavors.

1376
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
You can't pick out just the one.

1377
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Oh, no, I love Dr. Pepper.

1378
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
See, I don't like Dr. Pepper,

1379
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
but I will live and die for all-dressed chips.

1380
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Outnumbered. Finally, finally!

1381
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
I'm not Canadian enough.

1382
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
No.

1383
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Dang.

1384
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
This is where Russ can't read his writing.

1385
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
We run into this problem a lot.

1386
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
And sometimes he's like,

1387
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
don't look at my book, and I'm like,

1388
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
as if I could read it.

1389
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
No worries.

1390
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Whoa.

1391
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Can you change my mind with a really good perception rule?

1392
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Maybe.

1393
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Not likely. Let's see.

1394
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Hope he's like, change my mind.

1395
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Sure can't. Just roll this.

1396
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Make me believe.

1397
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Where is it? It's there somewhere.

1398
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
It's a one.

1399
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
I saw a seven.

1400
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000
It wasn't a seven.

1401
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
It was, in fact, a one.

1402
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
All gardens look the same covered in vomit.

1403
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
That's the saying, right?

1404
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
I'm pretty sure.

1405
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
You got it.

1406
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
It's deep.

1407
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
I can't remember his real name now.

1408
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Baron von Mare.

1409
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Jasek.

1410
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Mare Baron.

1411
