1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,319
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:08,880
I have been hunting for a way to confront Orcus and undo this.

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:15,439
A direct path seems to have been opened. I cannot turn away from that opportunity.

4
00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:23,039
And there's this, this echoing crack that you hear from multiple locations.

5
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:24,400
That does not sound good.

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,240
No, no, it's, we need to be ready.

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,920
Voronox. You heard that, Lipsinki?

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,600
Yeah, sounds like daddy's home and we better get out of here.

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,880
I think it's time you make your move.

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,200
I already failed once here. It's not going to happen again.

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,480
And just slowly advance on him, Axe-Drawn.

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:51,680
The two of you charge towards each other and with a flash of light coming up between you,

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,240
you raise your weapons to strike down at each other.

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,400
And this huge crack rings out back in the med tent.

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,960
Flint's body's eyes open with a huge gasp of air sits straight up.

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,359
With Thea and Leosin and Glim and Bahamut all standing around him.

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,120
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Also with me today is Karla Maxted.

19
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:32,080
She, her, tonight I will be Glim, Elia, Lipsinki, maybe Animal, all she, her.

20
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,120
And Tom Laird.

21
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,600
He, him, and I am playing Flint, Moot, and Telgir.

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,120
And Amy More.

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Yeah, hi. I will be playing Thea and Night Hunter, she, her,

24
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,520
as well as Sullivan's Light, he, him.

25
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,759
And joining us again today, Kristen Flemmons.

26
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,799
Again and always, she, her, playing Agath, Godloss, Cato, Olavi, also she, her.

27
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:00,640
And Kyle Claset.

28
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,159
Yeehaw, everyone. It's me, Kyle, from the Texas place.

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,479
And I'm so glad to be back playing Voronax, he, him, and I am he, him, as well.

30
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,079
From the Texas place.

31
00:02:12,079 --> 00:02:16,159
Yes, this is your escape to the fantasy world now.

32
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:17,520
I need it, and thank you.

33
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,359
Yep, fair enough, yep, fair enough.

34
00:02:19,359 --> 00:02:20,639
Everyone needs it.

35
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Glad to have everybody here.

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,199
Yes, very excited about, about what's to come.

37
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:27,680
The stuff?

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,519
All this timey wimey nonsense is coming to a head, my friends.

39
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:33,120
Doctor Who would be proud.

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Or, real disappointed.

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,560
Yeah, either or. It's tough to say which way it would go.

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,759
You're not fucking it up right.

43
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:42,879
That's right, we get a slap on the wrist for this.

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,240
The fact that Doctor Who hasn't shown up is, is, you know, just the way it's supposed to be.

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,199
The testament to, yeah.

46
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:51,359
It's a real show of restraint on our part.

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,199
You say we could introduce NPCs, yes.

48
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:03,039
Yeah, also have the, I also hold the right to have Orcas just eat them,

49
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:04,879
num-num, as soon as they arrive.

50
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,120
That's actually good to know, too.

51
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,319
Short and sweet.

52
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:12,400
I mean, he will play with them in his, in his, in his molars there for a little while

53
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,439
where you have a-

54
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:16,960
He'll play with you in our molars.

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,400
That's what I was looking for.

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Oh, no.

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Yep.

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,599
Oh, no.

59
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:22,719
No, he won't agree with that.

60
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:24,400
No, embrace it, Carla.

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,439
I wasn't gonna say it, but they beat me to it.

62
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:32,240
So where that happens is over on Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast,

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,439
where we have to change our rating, I think, to make it that.

64
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,560
But also you get an episode dedicated to you when you're a patron.

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Like today's patron, Nick Jones.

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,240
Thanks, Nick.

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,120
Way to go, Nick.

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,680
Nick.

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Thank you, Nick.

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,360
Oh, boy.

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,039
What time stream is Nick in?

72
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:49,520
Who knows?

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,400
There's so many.

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,039
Molar time.

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Okay, let's dive in.

76
00:03:57,199 --> 00:03:57,840
Fuck it.

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Let's play.

78
00:03:59,039 --> 00:03:59,539
Yes.

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,000
Amy thought we were going for, like, a new catchphrase.

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,319
I know.

81
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:05,840
I was like, you know, you can't change it, Russ.

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,640
You're changing everything.

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,920
You see the look of panic.

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,280
Like, I bring Orcas in.

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,599
I jump people ahead 10 years in time.

86
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:12,960
Back 10 years in time.

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Nothing.

88
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:14,960
Change the intro.

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,399
Let's jump into it.

90
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,480
Are we a let's jump into a cast?

91
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,120
I said dive.

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,079
He said dive.

93
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:20,399
Fine.

94
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,079
Are we a dive into a cast?

95
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:22,319
No.

96
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:23,360
I was trying it out.

97
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,439
The look on your face is said, don't fucking do it.

98
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,120
I aborted.

99
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,920
I pulled the record.

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Orcas ate it.

101
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Nom nom.

102
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,399
Shoot it around on his molars.

103
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:36,560
And now we're back in the lightest timeline.

104
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:42,399
Vorunax, you rush out of the tent, followed quickly by Lipsinki,

105
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:48,319
and see before you this whirling vortex of water,

106
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:50,959
as all of the undead that you had turned away

107
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:55,040
are now cresting back up and out of the crashing waves.

108
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,920
And you look deep within this black swirling portal,

109
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,840
and you see a face that you instantly recognize.

110
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,520
It's that of Orcas, whose eyes lock dead on you.

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,320
I stare back defiantly despite the slight tremble

112
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,040
I have in my right knee, which is my bad knee anyway.

113
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,800
I mean, that could mean anything.

114
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,720
That could be fear, or it's going to rain.

115
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,360
Exactly.

116
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,200
And I kind of just reach my hand out for Lipsinki,

117
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,600
kind of backwards, underhanded for like a little bit of a low five.

118
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,840
As we stare this down.

119
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:37,200
Yeah, we can do this.

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,040
I mean, I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do,

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,040
but we can do something.

122
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,080
We can try.

123
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,280
Yeah, we can try.

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,000
Everybody else on the beach, all the undead begin

125
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
walking out of these crashing waves.

126
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800
You hear the call of these undead dragons.

127
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,880
They're blasting their necrotic breath out across the sky,

128
00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:03,040
and moving to swoop down.

129
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,079
So did you like call them back or something to discuss?

130
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,120
I notice all the zombies are coming back.

131
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,319
I point to the giant whirlpool in the sky

132
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,079
that has the goat-headed face in it.

133
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,920
Say, well, see, that's daddy.

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
And when daddy's home, they do what he says.

135
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,840
Uh, so, ready yourselves.

136
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,840
Get to where you need to be.

137
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:38,080
Yeah, if you thought it was bad before, it's about to get a lot worse.

138
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

139
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,280
So does that make, who's mommy?

140
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,360
Well, let's just say it makes him mad when we bring up mommy.

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,000
I mean, families can look like all sorts of different things.

142
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Sometimes there's a mommy and a daddy.

143
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Sometimes it's just a daddy.

144
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:52,480
Yeah.

145
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,840
Yeah, anyway, he's, he's.

146
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,759
If someone could just tell me where I should be,

147
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:57,599
because you said get to where you need to be,

148
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:00,959
and I haven't, I don't know where I'm supposed to be.

149
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:03,680
Where you can hit things, I think.

150
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:09,439
That, and he points up to, to Orcus.

151
00:07:12,719 --> 00:07:16,800
Or any of those, as I point out to the beach horizon.

152
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:18,480
There are options.

153
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:28,720
We cut back to the med tent as Flint's body has just shot up to a seat.

154
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Oh my God, Flint, Flint, Flint, Flint.

155
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Yeah, yeah.

156
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Yeah. Hold on a second.

157
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:39,759
Yeah.

158
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,200
Yeah, that was, that was wild.

159
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,560
How many fingers am I holding up?

160
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,800
How many fingers are you holding?

161
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,960
How many fingers do you think I'm holding up?

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,480
I mean, just the one.

163
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Yeah.

164
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,800
It is, and it's the middle finger.

165
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,520
How did you know?

166
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Just, just the one, you're just holding the one.

167
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Oh my God.

168
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,000
Okay.

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
And then she slaps him on the shoulder.

170
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,840
Never allow someone else to put another soul inside your body

171
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
and then get trapped with them for a long time and then,

172
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
and then make us do a crazy ritual.

173
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,800
Yeah, all those things, all of those things.

174
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,300
You.

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,220
Okay.

176
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Um, how do I know it's really you?

177
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,600
What's the Dragonborn doing here?

178
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Oh, hey, I'm, I'm Glim.

179
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,720
It's really great to meet you.

180
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,760
I've heard so much about you.

181
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,759
I've been sort of helping a little bit with your whole thing.

182
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,920
Cool. Cool.

183
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,519
And that one, who's that one?

184
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:44,560
Yeah. Hey, Bahamut, glad to be here.

185
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Okay.

186
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:47,359
Yeah. Cool.

187
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:49,759
Cat Lord over in the corner there too.

188
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:52,879
Welcome back.

189
00:08:53,439 --> 00:08:57,679
There's some problems going on outside.

190
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,759
I know the reunion is, is, is mighty, but once we get you back in time,

191
00:09:05,599 --> 00:09:11,359
there might be more time to kind of go over the logistics of who, when, where, why, how.

192
00:09:11,359 --> 00:09:13,039
Okay. Okay. Back in time.

193
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:14,419
Cool.

194
00:09:15,299 --> 00:09:17,059
That are we, are we going now?

195
00:09:17,059 --> 00:09:18,179
That's the plan.

196
00:09:18,179 --> 00:09:21,299
Leosin is prepping the ritual.

197
00:09:21,299 --> 00:09:23,699
Leosin's kind of, he's tired.

198
00:09:23,699 --> 00:09:25,139
Leosin's always prepping the fucking ritual.

199
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:28,579
You see him and he looks, he looks like worn down.

200
00:09:28,579 --> 00:09:31,059
Like this ritual took a lot out of him.

201
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:36,579
He's flipping pages, setting up other elements.

202
00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:38,259
I'm going to need, I'm going to need some time.

203
00:09:39,459 --> 00:09:41,620
Not long, but if you can hold them, hold them off

204
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:46,659
for just, just a few minutes, we'll be able to, we'll be able to send

205
00:09:46,659 --> 00:09:49,379
at least the first group and then work on the second one.

206
00:09:49,379 --> 00:09:50,659
Send up a signal when you're ready.

207
00:09:50,659 --> 00:09:51,779
We'll, we'll go out.

208
00:09:51,779 --> 00:09:52,500
Oh yes.

209
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:54,340
Flynn, maybe you stay here.

210
00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:56,899
Okay. Yeah. That sounds okay for now.

211
00:09:56,899 --> 00:10:01,779
Uh, Glim gives Leosin some electrolyte drink just to sort of like replenish a little bit.

212
00:10:01,779 --> 00:10:02,259
Absolutely.

213
00:10:02,259 --> 00:10:03,460
Doesn't look that great.

214
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:05,139
She always has some in her camel back.

215
00:10:06,659 --> 00:10:08,100
Are you guys sharing a straw?

216
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,139
I'm just squirting it.

217
00:10:09,939 --> 00:10:11,139
Right into his mouth.

218
00:10:11,139 --> 00:10:17,059
Okay, nice. The, uh, looks at Flynn and says, stay.

219
00:10:17,059 --> 00:10:19,139
Yeah, no, no, I, I heard you.

220
00:10:19,139 --> 00:10:20,740
And she runs out of the tent.

221
00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:25,539
And Glim goes out to, I wonder what Bahamut does.

222
00:10:25,539 --> 00:10:28,259
I wonder, I bet he, I bet he turns into a dragon.

223
00:10:29,299 --> 00:10:30,259
In the tent?

224
00:10:30,259 --> 00:10:31,139
Nah.

225
00:10:31,139 --> 00:10:32,659
Yeah, just fucking wrecking stuff.

226
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,139
Oh, that guy.

227
00:10:35,139 --> 00:10:38,259
Bahamut begins to stride out.

228
00:10:38,259 --> 00:10:40,340
How cool do we want Bahamut to look like?

229
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:44,580
Oh, I think he should dive out of that tent and immediately turn into a dragon.

230
00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:45,299
Transform.

231
00:10:45,299 --> 00:10:45,620
Yeah.

232
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:46,100
Okay.

233
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:46,580
That's pretty cool.

234
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:47,779
Here it is, I got it.

235
00:10:47,779 --> 00:10:53,299
Bahamut slowly walks out onto the beach, moving the tent flap aside.

236
00:10:53,299 --> 00:11:00,100
And then it begins to stretch and like twangs his back a little bit and like holds

237
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,220
it and he's just kind of, he bends over and she's like a deep breath.

238
00:11:08,819 --> 00:11:19,139
And then he sneezes and then explodes out as this gigantic platinum dragon that skims

239
00:11:19,139 --> 00:11:24,019
across the water surface towards the dragons in the sky.

240
00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:26,259
That was cool.

241
00:11:27,059 --> 00:11:27,620
Super cool.

242
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,819
Not at all an old man way to turn into a dragon, it's fine.

243
00:11:32,819 --> 00:11:34,100
Nope, nope, Brad.

244
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:35,939
Did he rub some bed and gay on his back?

245
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,900
He just got done shoveling the driveway.

246
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:40,420
Yep, exactly.

247
00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:41,300
My sciatic.

248
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:48,660
Agoth, where do we find you?

249
00:11:48,660 --> 00:11:56,580
On top of Rex's back, heading to meet the front that's incoming.

250
00:11:56,580 --> 00:12:02,580
Not too far because you got to maintain the perimeter close-ish to the tent so

251
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:04,660
they can't flank you, but yeah.

252
00:12:04,659 --> 00:12:09,860
As the undead are coming up, what weapon does Agoth use again?

253
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:10,740
So many.

254
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:15,219
So many weapons.

255
00:12:15,779 --> 00:12:18,419
And is there a cool thing that you want to use?

256
00:12:18,419 --> 00:12:21,459
Do you have a post-it note up that you really want to emphasize?

257
00:12:21,459 --> 00:12:25,860
Because we're mostly in the business of these scenes just describing cool shit that we do.

258
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:31,220
So I think because she's getting up on Rex's back as he's sort of already in a

259
00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:35,460
gallop and galloping forward, before we're close enough for full melee,

260
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:41,540
she's gonna pull the lance off her back and throw it and make a nice undead kebab

261
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:45,620
in one direction and then grab the spear and throw that in the other direction.

262
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:50,899
And then her coolest weapon is the Revenant double-bladed scimitar.

263
00:12:50,899 --> 00:12:56,660
And so then that comes out as the two-handed weapon as she's gonna start.

264
00:12:56,740 --> 00:13:04,419
Just, you know, like as if you're like, what is the word for when you're harvesting grain?

265
00:13:04,419 --> 00:13:06,339
Like siving wheat.

266
00:13:06,339 --> 00:13:12,980
Threshing heads off of undead as Rex tramples them underfoot.

267
00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:14,100
Horse tearing across.

268
00:13:14,659 --> 00:13:21,139
Tabaxi were close to the water, but as I feel like Rex and Agoth tearing

269
00:13:21,299 --> 00:13:28,580
up this beach are not only pushing back the undead, but also scattering the Tabaxi

270
00:13:28,580 --> 00:13:29,939
back to the forest line.

271
00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:38,259
There's this loud rumbling chuckle that comes out of the portal and emanates and

272
00:13:38,259 --> 00:13:40,980
vibrates your chest, Vorunax, and there's...

273
00:13:43,059 --> 00:13:48,740
The voice rings out not to everyone else, but more just in your head.

274
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,299
Vorunax, what happened to my boy?

275
00:13:57,139 --> 00:14:04,740
Blood Lord, the shadow that was, that is, and will be, I have found a way

276
00:14:06,259 --> 00:14:12,819
for you to assume the power that is rightfully yours sooner than now.

277
00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:16,740
I ask that you trust your humble servant.

278
00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:22,899
And I am definitely going for deceit here.

279
00:14:24,019 --> 00:14:26,659
Roll deception, please.

280
00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:29,299
That is a 26.

281
00:14:30,419 --> 00:14:31,060
Oh damn.

282
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:33,060
You've already won.

283
00:14:34,019 --> 00:14:37,060
If this doesn't work, you have nothing to lose.

284
00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:43,060
There's this sound that emanates.

285
00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:48,500
It's heard not just in your mind, but all across the beach.

286
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:52,100
It's this guttural...

287
00:14:56,420 --> 00:15:03,940
Starts as a growl or moan and turns into like this shriek pitch of a scream.

288
00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:12,580
The portal begins to open wider.

289
00:15:13,060 --> 00:15:20,100
It begins to grow immensely in size.

290
00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:25,780
Everybody who came out from the tent, you see...

291
00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:31,540
Well, for the first time, because this is all kind of happening at the same time,

292
00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:40,420
this massive portal that's expanding quickly now to the size of what could be a castle.

293
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:48,980
This hooved clawed leg steps out from beyond it.

294
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:58,420
Thea and Glim, you step out and you see this giant hooved clawed foot

295
00:15:58,420 --> 00:16:02,020
stepping out from beyond this dark, black, roiling portal.

296
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:05,860
What the legitimate fuck is going on out here?

297
00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:08,580
We were just doing a ritual and somehow they opened a portal?

298
00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:11,540
Um, did the ritual open the portal?

299
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:12,040
No.

300
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:13,080
No.

301
00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:13,960
No.

302
00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:17,220
It doesn't matter.

303
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:21,940
Um, hey, um, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

304
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:23,160
Hey.

305
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:25,060
Vernux, what the fuck man?

306
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:30,900
Um, I'm working on it, I'm working on it.

307
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:32,900
I don't think I'm working very good though.

308
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:34,020
Do you need to hit me or something?

309
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:35,060
Do you need to like make it real?

310
00:16:35,780 --> 00:16:37,220
Don't stab me though, but you can hit me.

311
00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:38,740
I can take it.

312
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:40,500
I don't think that's necessary.

313
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:46,340
But whatever we need to do to get the ball rolling on fixing things.

314
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:50,500
The ball is, um, is being prepared?

315
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:54,660
Yeah, he's like hydrated, he's working, um, what should we do?

316
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:57,860
Fight him, fight those undead on the beach.

317
00:16:57,860 --> 00:16:59,220
What's the, what's our best plan?

318
00:16:59,220 --> 00:17:00,420
Are we just staring at each other?

319
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:01,300
He seems to be coming through.

320
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:02,259
Is he coming through to talk?

321
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:03,940
Unlikely.

322
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:07,860
I'm, I'm certain he may know.

323
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:08,740
Know how?

324
00:17:08,740 --> 00:17:10,820
Yeah, he's not, he's not much of a talker.

325
00:17:11,779 --> 00:17:14,900
Especially when he is looking like this.

326
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:19,299
So I guess what I'm trying to say is we should probably all, um, fight.

327
00:17:19,299 --> 00:17:23,299
Do any of you have abilities to negate that?

328
00:17:24,340 --> 00:17:25,539
To help close that?

329
00:17:26,259 --> 00:17:28,019
To help, help close that?

330
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:29,700
No.

331
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:30,500
Anything?

332
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,059
Uh, uh, okay.

333
00:17:33,059 --> 00:17:36,659
What, what kind of, what, what, what kind of stuff doesn't he like?

334
00:17:36,659 --> 00:17:40,659
You know, like, um, like I know he likes the living.

335
00:17:40,659 --> 00:17:41,059
Okay.

336
00:17:41,059 --> 00:17:41,460
Fair.

337
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:41,779
All right.

338
00:17:41,779 --> 00:17:43,619
Like sunshine, sunshine.

339
00:17:43,619 --> 00:17:44,579
It's bad for him.

340
00:17:44,579 --> 00:17:44,899
Yeah.

341
00:17:48,579 --> 00:17:53,700
Agoth, your scimitar is swirling and knocking, knocking heads off.

342
00:17:53,700 --> 00:18:01,379
You feel a small weight jump up behind you and this blast of chaotic energy goes out

343
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,700
like swirling out in front of you.

344
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,700
Yeah, look at that.

345
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:06,660
I can do that.

346
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:08,740
See, make explosions in front of.

347
00:18:08,740 --> 00:18:09,380
Oh, sorry.

348
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:09,860
Whoa.

349
00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:10,500
Sorry.

350
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:12,820
I almost, almost disrupted the horse there.

351
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:14,820
Hey, hey Moot.

352
00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:15,940
Hey Moot.

353
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:20,420
We gotta prove to Agoth that coming to Celestia is really cool this time of year.

354
00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:21,460
Yeah.

355
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:26,020
And I'm also throwing, Moot's also throwing like eldritch glass all over the map here.

356
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:27,380
Yep.

357
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:27,780
Yep.

358
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:30,260
Celestia, pretty awesome this time of year.

359
00:18:30,980 --> 00:18:33,220
Definitely Flamikins is right about that.

360
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:34,180
You gotta come.

361
00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:36,019
We do not even know which year.

362
00:18:36,019 --> 00:18:38,339
Well, I think it's just kind of like an all the time thing.

363
00:18:38,339 --> 00:18:42,500
It's like the year of our Lord Bahamut, which is like every year.

364
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:44,740
So as long as we land in a year where Bahamut's there,

365
00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:46,339
it's the year of our Lord Bahamut.

366
00:18:46,339 --> 00:18:48,019
I hear he's a really cool guy.

367
00:18:48,019 --> 00:18:49,619
Someone was telling me that earlier.

368
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:52,900
You know, I have heard that a time or two.

369
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:54,019
Yeah, totes.

370
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:59,059
Hey, Agoth, there's a big arm coming through there.

371
00:18:59,139 --> 00:18:59,539
It looks.

372
00:19:02,019 --> 00:19:02,740
You see that?

373
00:19:02,740 --> 00:19:04,419
How close is the big arm?

374
00:19:04,419 --> 00:19:08,819
Oh, it's it's it's like down the beach, but it looks like Orcus.

375
00:19:10,019 --> 00:19:10,980
It was hard to miss.

376
00:19:12,579 --> 00:19:14,259
I mean, I don't know.

377
00:19:14,899 --> 00:19:17,379
You want to punch that face?

378
00:19:17,379 --> 00:19:19,859
Oh, I don't think you should punch him right now.

379
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:20,500
That seems like a bad idea.

380
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,460
No, it wasn't really like a well, now's the time to do it.

381
00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:25,139
It was more of like a disbelief.

382
00:19:25,139 --> 00:19:25,539
Gotcha.

383
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:25,859
Gotcha.

384
00:19:25,859 --> 00:19:26,899
Glider on the same page.

385
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:31,700
You want to climb up that that loin skirt that he's wearing

386
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:37,700
and climb all the scars and skin suit that he has on and.

387
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:42,500
Unlike you, I have no desire to be near the loins of any god.

388
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,860
Well, that feels a little bit pointed, but I get them.

389
00:19:45,860 --> 00:19:46,900
I get what you're saying.

390
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:49,300
Maybe not that loin.

391
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,700
I don't want to see what's under that loin cloth.

392
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:55,540
Do you think there should maybe be perhaps less talking and more

393
00:19:57,780 --> 00:19:59,620
beheading of undead?

394
00:19:59,620 --> 00:20:00,660
Oh, yeah, you bet.

395
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:01,220
Watch this.

396
00:20:01,220 --> 00:20:03,460
You behead them and I'll do something cool.

397
00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:04,500
I'll behead a few.

398
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:07,300
And then lightning tears down from the sky,

399
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:10,420
like incinerating the bodies through the middle.

400
00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:11,060
Look at that.

401
00:20:12,259 --> 00:20:13,140
Undead kebabs.

402
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:14,180
That's.

403
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,060
Nothing impresses this one mood.

404
00:20:17,060 --> 00:20:17,560
Fuck.

405
00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:20,100
I mean, she's seeing some things.

406
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:20,900
Yeah, that's true.

407
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:22,740
So are they like both on the horse with me?

408
00:20:22,740 --> 00:20:30,420
I just don't know.

409
00:20:31,539 --> 00:20:35,460
How I picture it in my mind's eye, this is probably not physically possible,

410
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:38,900
but like Flamikinskins jumped on with moot on her shoulders,

411
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,460
which is really awkward because moot's a half orc.

412
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:45,220
But I really like it for like a short half orc, but still.

413
00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:50,660
I thought for a moment, maybe like Flamikinskins had gone like backwards

414
00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:53,540
in front of a goth.

415
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:56,580
So they're face to face having this awkward conversation.

416
00:20:56,580 --> 00:20:58,740
And it was on the back.

417
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:02,259
So it was kind of like a really weird socially awkward sandwich happening.

418
00:21:02,259 --> 00:21:05,460
And then she's like, I just, I didn't ask for this.

419
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:10,259
Just like, hold that thought stab here.

420
00:21:10,259 --> 00:21:12,259
OK, yes, slice there.

421
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:13,620
Wonderful.

422
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:16,019
You're trying desperately to do the murder thing

423
00:21:16,019 --> 00:21:20,019
and just having to make polite conversation work.

424
00:21:20,019 --> 00:21:21,220
This is why you work alone.

425
00:21:22,259 --> 00:21:22,660
It is.

426
00:21:23,299 --> 00:21:28,500
We cut back to the med tent where Leosin is trying to busy,

427
00:21:29,139 --> 00:21:30,420
not trying to busy himself.

428
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:31,779
Just killing time, really.

429
00:21:31,779 --> 00:21:32,900
He's just doing paper work.

430
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,180
I'm just taking a drink.

431
00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:37,940
Better look like I'm working hard.

432
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:38,900
Doing some busy work.

433
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:40,500
He was done about 15 ago.

434
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:43,859
But it's just trying the same cut.

435
00:21:43,859 --> 00:21:45,059
I didn't actually do anything.

436
00:21:45,059 --> 00:21:45,700
They all did.

437
00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:47,940
The magic was all in them.

438
00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:49,700
I just made it look really cool.

439
00:21:50,019 --> 00:21:52,740
Uh, no, I'm trying to get this ready.

440
00:21:54,099 --> 00:21:54,420
Can you?

441
00:21:55,619 --> 00:22:00,420
Are you Flint or are you bored?

442
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:01,460
I'm here right now.

443
00:22:02,259 --> 00:22:03,059
What do you need help?

444
00:22:05,059 --> 00:22:05,619
You're right.

445
00:22:05,619 --> 00:22:06,740
No, we need to get this done.

446
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:12,420
Go grab that box of thingamabobs.

447
00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:14,339
The cat named the box.

448
00:22:14,339 --> 00:22:16,180
It's really actually very important.

449
00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:18,660
Crystals and incantation.

450
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,180
Essence incense is the word.

451
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:22,580
Essence.

452
00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:23,620
It's got essence, too.

453
00:22:24,259 --> 00:22:24,900
Essence.

454
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:25,140
Okay.

455
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:25,940
Handle with care.

456
00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:26,420
Got it.

457
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:26,820
Please.

458
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:28,500
And just start setting it up around.

459
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:31,060
We'll discuss that later, I guess.

460
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:31,460
Okay.

461
00:22:31,460 --> 00:22:31,940
Cat?

462
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:33,060
Cat Lord?

463
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:34,100
Oh, Cat Lord's gone.

464
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:36,820
Cat Lord?

465
00:22:38,740 --> 00:22:39,299
Classic.

466
00:22:40,259 --> 00:22:44,099
We cut back to Vorunax and Thea and Glim and Lipsinki.

467
00:22:44,819 --> 00:22:51,700
Lipsinki, you feel as now the arm and like upper body of Orcus

468
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:55,779
and like this shadowy image of his face is just looming.

469
00:22:55,779 --> 00:22:59,940
You feel a pull on the wand of Orcus that's at your back.

470
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:02,659
Like a psychic pull or physically it is moving.

471
00:23:02,659 --> 00:23:06,899
A force is trying to remove it and propel it through.

472
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:11,540
To remove it and propel it through the air towards the big Orcus man

473
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:13,060
that's walking through the port.

474
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:17,140
Well, I'm going to try and grab it, obviously.

475
00:23:18,420 --> 00:23:20,820
Vorunax, he's trying to get it back.

476
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,940
First off, hand that back over.

477
00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:24,980
There's something I must do.

478
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:28,500
All right.

479
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:30,580
I mean, he's really pulling on it.

480
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:31,220
I understand.

481
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:35,060
I go ahead and I take it and I reach into my bag

482
00:23:35,059 --> 00:23:39,139
and I pull out a very shoddily made like wooden horse.

483
00:23:39,139 --> 00:23:41,940
It's obviously like the first thing Vorunax ever,

484
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:45,539
you know, made as a whittler or woodworker.

485
00:23:45,539 --> 00:23:51,700
And he says, Lipsinki, find me where y'all are going and give me this.

486
00:23:55,299 --> 00:23:55,779
All right.

487
00:23:56,819 --> 00:23:58,099
I would never let go of this.

488
00:23:59,460 --> 00:24:02,339
Give this to me and I should trust you.

489
00:24:02,339 --> 00:24:04,500
All right.

490
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:05,379
But what are you going to do?

491
00:24:06,259 --> 00:24:10,179
And then I look over at Glem and I say, you there,

492
00:24:11,459 --> 00:24:12,819
father of Bahamut.

493
00:24:13,379 --> 00:24:13,619
Yeah.

494
00:24:16,259 --> 00:24:19,379
Can I have your holy symbol?

495
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:23,459
I know you don't know me.

496
00:24:26,339 --> 00:24:27,699
If I give you this.

497
00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:28,339
You won't get it back.

498
00:24:28,339 --> 00:24:29,059
Is it going to stop?

499
00:24:29,779 --> 00:24:31,459
No, I wasn't going to ask that.

500
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:34,740
Really Bahamut lives in my heart, you know, it's just something to focus on.

501
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:37,059
But is it going to help with that?

502
00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:41,700
With your level of faith that was displayed in that tent?

503
00:24:42,259 --> 00:24:43,380
I hope so.

504
00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:45,460
Well, then, yeah, of course, it's just it's.

505
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:48,420
Yeah, Bahamut lives in me.

506
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:49,140
You can have this.

507
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:50,819
Okay, I take that.

508
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:58,180
And my plan is to let myself be carried away by the wand.

509
00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:04,820
And as I intersect with like the portal, I'm going to or before that happens,

510
00:25:04,820 --> 00:25:10,340
I would injure myself severely to be under 100 hit points,

511
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:13,299
let myself get pulled towards the portal.

512
00:25:13,299 --> 00:25:19,700
And as I reach the portal, cast power word kill on myself with the locket

513
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:26,019
or with the holy symbol in hand, hoping that by the one by the two gods that remain,

514
00:25:26,019 --> 00:25:29,539
one of them will help stop this portal through faith alone.

515
00:25:34,259 --> 00:25:34,579
Cool.

516
00:25:39,859 --> 00:25:41,299
Wait, did you not see that one coming?

517
00:25:44,259 --> 00:25:45,859
We don't like it for word.

518
00:25:45,859 --> 00:25:47,220
It's like he was reading from a script.

519
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:48,339
What are you talking about?

520
00:25:48,339 --> 00:25:50,819
You don't like it when guests kill themselves off.

521
00:25:50,819 --> 00:25:55,379
No, there's I see the direction that you are presenting.

522
00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:56,180
And I like it.

523
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:14,100
Vorunax lifts off the ground, holding on to the wand of Orcus, flying through the air.

524
00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:21,540
And as you are getting closer, Orcus is a lot bigger in size and in strength

525
00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:24,740
and in power that he's emitting than the last time you saw him.

526
00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:28,900
I don't think you've been to the abyss in quite some time.

527
00:26:29,780 --> 00:26:33,540
They're being posted here to clear and destroy.

528
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:41,460
As you get, you feel the waves of the portal rippling off

529
00:26:42,260 --> 00:26:49,060
and this being that's so enormous in front of you gets into view.

530
00:26:49,860 --> 00:26:53,060
Those that can see through the chaos that's happening,

531
00:26:53,059 --> 00:26:56,419
probably just the few that were standing beside Vorunax,

532
00:26:56,980 --> 00:26:58,819
trying to figure out what to do with the portal.

533
00:26:58,819 --> 00:27:04,500
You see him pierce through his chest with his sword, sticks out the other side.

534
00:27:05,379 --> 00:27:09,619
Then a glow begins to emanate from the wand of Orcus.

535
00:27:11,619 --> 00:27:18,980
And you see this explosion of light happen right at the edge of the portal.

536
00:27:19,299 --> 00:27:24,819
And it sends out this rippling wave that courses across the beach.

537
00:27:25,940 --> 00:27:29,940
We hear the sound of Leosin call out,

538
00:27:31,299 --> 00:27:34,420
I'm ready, ready for those that are heading to Celestia.

539
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:52,900
I think Thea and them are probably the only ones who hear that.

540
00:27:52,900 --> 00:28:01,860
So Thea looks around and spots Sully is vaulting off of,

541
00:28:02,579 --> 00:28:08,420
essentially parkouring off of these undead forms,

542
00:28:09,299 --> 00:28:15,860
running up the side of one and slicing a head off with his scimitar.

543
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:21,860
Slicing a head off with his scimitar and then doing a backflip onto the

544
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:26,900
neck of another one and snapping it and then slicing into it.

545
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:32,420
And Thea calls out to them, it's time, it's time, come!

546
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,340
Hey, hey, Moot! Moot, it's time to go, Agoth!

547
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,180
There's something happening over there.

548
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:46,019
I don't think, I don't think Night Hunter and Hylia and Opals are coming with us

549
00:28:46,019 --> 00:28:48,259
because they said they'd stay and fight here.

550
00:28:48,259 --> 00:28:55,539
And whatever just happened there, there was a lot of power going on, so I think we gotta go.

551
00:28:56,259 --> 00:29:00,100
What I'm saying is, are you coming with us or are you staying to go with the next group?

552
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:04,580
And I think Agath will just give a dramatic sigh as she wheels

553
00:29:05,539 --> 00:29:12,500
uh, racks around and starts galloping them all towards, back towards the tent.

554
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:15,699
It's kind of like she realizes that they are all gonna die without her.

555
00:29:17,699 --> 00:29:20,899
This is not gonna, like, this is not gonna go well for them.

556
00:29:21,619 --> 00:29:26,179
Look, look, look, I know you wanna die in battle, punch an orcas in the face,

557
00:29:26,179 --> 00:29:28,819
what if I could promise you you're gonna die in battle, punch,

558
00:29:29,779 --> 00:29:33,220
maybe not, maybe orcas, maybe somebody in the face.

559
00:29:33,220 --> 00:29:36,659
And then it's victorious and it's like you punched orcas in the face.

560
00:29:36,659 --> 00:29:37,619
I could make a mask.

561
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:41,939
I think you just say, like, Agath just sort of pointedly ignoring.

562
00:29:42,659 --> 00:29:44,099
Moot, I think I'm getting through to her.

563
00:29:45,379 --> 00:29:47,460
Yeah, yeah, it looks like you're really making headway.

564
00:29:48,899 --> 00:29:57,460
Sully steps up from a body that he had previously been on top of and takes two daggers

565
00:29:58,180 --> 00:30:04,019
and drags them across the neck of this undead and stands up covered in blood and says,

566
00:30:04,579 --> 00:30:05,620
it's been a slice.

567
00:30:07,380 --> 00:30:10,900
And then looks around and there's, like, literally no one around to hear and he's like,

568
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:12,019
gah, fuck.

569
00:30:12,019 --> 00:30:15,940
And then, like, starts to run off to the, to the tent,

570
00:30:15,940 --> 00:30:18,660
feeling less cool than he had just a moment ago.

571
00:30:19,299 --> 00:30:24,740
Glim looks at Lipsinki, whose friend has just sacrificed himself,

572
00:30:24,819 --> 00:30:29,140
and asks her, are you, are you okay?

573
00:30:29,620 --> 00:30:32,259
We have to go, but are you okay?

574
00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:36,579
Well, I don't, I don't, I can't believe he did that.

575
00:30:36,579 --> 00:30:42,500
I thought, I don't know, I guess I thought somehow deep inside he was kind of just,

576
00:30:44,259 --> 00:30:48,099
I don't know, he's just tricking y'all, but he really did it.

577
00:30:49,460 --> 00:30:53,220
He, he sacrificed himself for,

578
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:57,059
I don't know if I'm all right.

579
00:30:58,420 --> 00:31:01,779
I don't want to hurt you in this tender moment, Lipsinki,

580
00:31:01,779 --> 00:31:03,380
but are you just tricking us?

581
00:31:04,339 --> 00:31:05,220
Just want to know.

582
00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:07,700
Just want to know before we thrust ourselves into a portal together.

583
00:31:08,819 --> 00:31:11,380
Um, Glim's going to give Lipsinki a hug.

584
00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:13,940
Of course she is.

585
00:31:14,819 --> 00:31:15,539
I trust you.

586
00:31:16,259 --> 00:31:17,620
I know you're going to do the right thing.

587
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:22,980
And then turns and goes to inside the tent to find Leosin so they can go.

588
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:26,259
And Dan's like, are you going to do the right thing?

589
00:31:27,779 --> 00:31:28,660
But are you really?

590
00:31:29,539 --> 00:31:30,019
Really?

591
00:31:31,460 --> 00:31:38,579
Team Celestia head into the tent where Leosin has a new altar set up.

592
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:41,220
He says, quick, quickly.

593
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:45,539
And as the tent flap closes behind them, there's this ripple in the portal as

594
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:49,220
Vorunax's lifeless body

595
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:54,740
with the glow still coming from it, lands in Orcus's hand.

596
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:05,620
Orcus holds the body as this wave of bright, brilliant energy is fighting against the portal.

597
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:17,940
My poor sweet boy sacrificed yourself to save what these last few remaining tortured souls

598
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:20,019
of this realm.

599
00:32:21,059 --> 00:32:28,180
We've made it so far together, conquered the gods, worlds, and planes,

600
00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:31,620
only to have yourself extinguished in an instant.

601
00:32:35,299 --> 00:32:38,019
And he squeezes his hand closed.

602
00:32:38,820 --> 00:32:39,940
Disappointing.

603
00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:46,100
I could bring you back to me, have you by my side for all eternity,

604
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:50,020
but you are not worthy of that anymore.

605
00:32:51,540 --> 00:32:59,700
You will serve me, though, by being an example of what happens

606
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:03,540
when you cross the most powerful being to have existed.

607
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:11,060
And you see him open his hand, and a body falls lifeless to the ocean.

608
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:23,460
He looks out at everyone as this portal is now being simultaneously growing and contracting

609
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:24,819
at the same time.

610
00:33:24,819 --> 00:33:32,500
Hmm. You have moments before you join me in the abyss.

611
00:33:34,019 --> 00:33:39,220
Have your moment before the strongest of you are released.

612
00:33:41,059 --> 00:33:42,899
You are carried to my throne.

613
00:33:45,379 --> 00:33:52,500
There's this echoing, menacing laugh that rings out, and he takes two steps back.

614
00:33:54,980 --> 00:34:03,619
And coming out from it are these enormous winged creatures, these huge, weathery

615
00:34:04,579 --> 00:34:05,859
wings in there.

616
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:13,460
They look more like giant worms, giant, like, purple worms than dragons.

617
00:34:15,940 --> 00:34:21,300
They begin pouring out into the landscape before you.

618
00:34:35,860 --> 00:34:52,660
We are in the middle now.

619
00:34:52,660 --> 00:34:53,160
Remix!

620
00:34:57,780 --> 00:34:58,740
Middle now, isn't it?

621
00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:02,420
It's a Gregorian chant, that's what we were talking about at the gook hang.

622
00:35:02,420 --> 00:35:04,019
If you don't know what we're talking about,

623
00:35:04,259 --> 00:35:05,940
it's Gregorian chant remixes.

624
00:35:05,940 --> 00:35:08,579
You should really come hang out with us once a month.

625
00:35:08,579 --> 00:35:09,860
Just become a patron.

626
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:10,820
It's so fun.

627
00:35:10,820 --> 00:35:11,539
We talk about cool stuff.

628
00:35:11,539 --> 00:35:16,019
So we can tell you about all the hip new things, like Gregorian chants, right?

629
00:35:16,019 --> 00:35:18,019
All the rage these days, specifically.

630
00:35:18,019 --> 00:35:18,659
Yep.

631
00:35:18,659 --> 00:35:21,619
One of the many perks of being a patron, and that's what we're talking about today,

632
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:27,380
is that we hit a goal here not too long ago, perhaps yesterday,

633
00:35:27,380 --> 00:35:31,860
and we're very excited about it because we get to do another live stream improv show.

634
00:35:31,860 --> 00:35:32,500
Oh yeah.

635
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,099
Play by play.

636
00:35:34,099 --> 00:35:34,900
So fun.

637
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:40,179
It's going to be at the end of the month here on March the 30th in the evening.

638
00:35:40,179 --> 00:35:43,139
It's going to be like a, it's a Wednesday evening show.

639
00:35:44,179 --> 00:35:47,059
Something to get you through to the next half of the week.

640
00:35:47,059 --> 00:35:47,780
That's right.

641
00:35:47,780 --> 00:35:48,980
And it's improv, so it's interactive.

642
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,500
We're going to put hump and hump day.

643
00:35:51,380 --> 00:35:52,579
Almost certainly.

644
00:35:52,579 --> 00:35:53,940
It's really setting the tone early.

645
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:58,420
Well, if you've been to any of our other live shows.

646
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:01,300
Yeah, only one of them was specifically bad.

647
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:02,820
Listen to our podcast.

648
00:36:04,820 --> 00:36:07,300
Only several of them were specifically that.

649
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:07,940
Yeah.

650
00:36:07,940 --> 00:36:08,500
Yeah.

651
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:13,380
But we would love for you to also become a patron and come join us at that,

652
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:16,180
because all patrons will be able to do so.

653
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:19,940
And there'll be interactive moments, there'll be laughs,

654
00:36:20,900 --> 00:36:23,220
or maybe it will just be so serious.

655
00:36:23,220 --> 00:36:26,900
It won't be, it has multiple drinks while doing live shows.

656
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:29,300
Maybe I'll have a drink or two for this next one.

657
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,180
Oh my gosh, you guys.

658
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:33,460
Tom's going to get lit.

659
00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:33,940
Yep.

660
00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:36,980
Moot is going to be the most talkative Moot has ever been.

661
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:40,500
We don't even know if it's going to be those three characters,

662
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,019
but Moot will be there talking.

663
00:36:42,019 --> 00:36:43,460
Just popping in.

664
00:36:43,460 --> 00:36:44,580
We're very excited for it.

665
00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:45,700
And we want you to come join us.

666
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:50,820
And if you are a patron, all the details will likely be available

667
00:36:50,820 --> 00:36:54,500
in the Discord or in Patreon, unless I went to bed before posting them.

668
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:56,660
Then if he did, they'll be available soon.

669
00:36:56,660 --> 00:36:58,100
Yeah, the next day.

670
00:36:58,100 --> 00:36:58,900
Exactly.

671
00:36:59,220 --> 00:37:00,180
It's very exciting.

672
00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:02,099
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

673
00:37:02,099 --> 00:37:03,860
Can't wait to can't wait to do it again.

674
00:37:03,860 --> 00:37:04,820
Yes.

675
00:37:04,820 --> 00:37:05,700
Okay, bye now.

676
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,500
Bye.

677
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:10,740
Friends, half orcs, countrymen, lend me your pointy ears.

678
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:14,820
Of Mice and Men and Monsters is a podcast which combines the art

679
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:20,099
and beauty of classic literature with the fun of Dumbgeons and Dragons roleplay.

680
00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:24,340
These episodes are led by me, Kate, your master teacher,

681
00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:27,619
which is dungeon master meets high school English teacher.

682
00:37:27,619 --> 00:37:30,819
We take on quests in these fascinating worlds,

683
00:37:30,819 --> 00:37:34,659
meeting and adventuring with the greatest literary characters of all time,

684
00:37:34,659 --> 00:37:37,859
solving puzzles set up by the dubious Dr. Frankenstein.

685
00:37:37,859 --> 00:37:41,380
One eye is over there and the other eye is rolled over there.

686
00:37:41,380 --> 00:37:43,940
Hunting Moby Dick alongside Captain Ahab.

687
00:37:44,980 --> 00:37:45,779
I've rolled a one.

688
00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:51,940
Of Mice and Men and Monsters is a faithful yet irreverent way

689
00:37:51,940 --> 00:37:56,099
to interact with the stories which have influenced us for centuries.

690
00:37:56,179 --> 00:38:00,259
Plus, it's a much more exciting way to experience literature than writing an essay.

691
00:38:00,259 --> 00:38:05,699
Essays don't have swords which burst into flame or poop monsters hiding in toilets.

692
00:38:05,699 --> 00:38:08,179
Anybody got some poop for me?

693
00:38:08,179 --> 00:38:12,019
A new episode of Of Mice and Men and Monsters is released

694
00:38:12,019 --> 00:38:14,739
every other Wednesday wherever you listen to podcasts.

695
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:24,260
Inside the tent,

696
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:29,460
Team Celestia has gathered in the center of this altar and Leosin comes over to you and says,

697
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:32,020
this is the Soul Bridge gem.

698
00:38:32,980 --> 00:38:34,420
This is what's going to power it.

699
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,060
The Cat Lord's somewhere.

700
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:37,940
We're going to draw from him.

701
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:40,100
Maybe, maybe, I don't know.

702
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:43,860
But Bahamut's energy is channeling into this.

703
00:38:43,860 --> 00:38:49,860
And as we do this, you will go to Celestia.

704
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:51,780
I don't know what time.

705
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:54,340
I don't know how much time you'll have.

706
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:57,140
But you know your mission.

707
00:38:57,140 --> 00:39:00,660
It's to warn Bahamut before this happens.

708
00:39:00,660 --> 00:39:01,860
Yeah, aye, aye, Captain.

709
00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:02,340
Let's go.

710
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,300
Yeah, we can do it.

711
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,380
Celestia sounds like a walk in the fucking park

712
00:39:05,380 --> 00:39:06,900
compared to what's going on in here, so.

713
00:39:10,820 --> 00:39:11,940
I know how wrong am I.

714
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:13,860
Oh, god.

715
00:39:14,659 --> 00:39:15,539
Yeah, for sure.

716
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:17,059
Oh, Sully.

717
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:23,300
Leosin steps out of the circle and he begins the ritual.

718
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,900
Flint is off to the side assisting

719
00:39:31,139 --> 00:39:34,740
and a glowing light begins to churn around you

720
00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:37,059
and it begins to flash.

721
00:39:37,059 --> 00:39:39,700
You see images of outside where there's battle

722
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:44,420
and images of beginning of the proverbial darkest timeline

723
00:39:44,420 --> 00:39:46,420
and all the battles that you've had

724
00:39:46,420 --> 00:39:48,260
and locations that you've known

725
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:51,620
and greenery comes back and light comes back

726
00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:55,460
and it's all swirling around you in this giant vortex

727
00:39:55,460 --> 00:39:59,620
until you find yourself in a crashing,

728
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:04,100
huge explosion of sound.

729
00:40:04,099 --> 00:40:12,179
Can Sully, like, land in a cool pose?

730
00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:14,579
Sully can land however he wants.

731
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:20,420
I need somebody to roll me a set of percentile dice, please.

732
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:22,179
You can fight amongst yourselves.

733
00:40:22,179 --> 00:40:23,460
Maybe a goth roll it.

734
00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:24,500
Yeah, it shouldn't be me.

735
00:40:25,460 --> 00:40:26,339
All right.

736
00:40:26,339 --> 00:40:26,980
Oh, god.

737
00:40:27,699 --> 00:40:28,259
No pressure.

738
00:40:28,819 --> 00:40:31,139
You don't know if high or low is good, so really no pressure.

739
00:40:31,139 --> 00:40:31,940
I have no idea.

740
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:35,219
27.

741
00:40:36,420 --> 00:40:37,139
Sounds great to me.

742
00:40:37,139 --> 00:40:38,019
Sounds like a good number.

743
00:40:40,019 --> 00:40:41,059
Is that a prime number?

744
00:40:41,059 --> 00:40:41,539
It is.

745
00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:42,039
It is.

746
00:40:43,139 --> 00:40:44,019
Yeah, it's gotta be.

747
00:40:44,019 --> 00:40:44,739
It's gotta be good.

748
00:40:44,739 --> 00:40:45,699
Important or something.

749
00:40:46,579 --> 00:40:47,940
All of a sudden we're on mechanics.

750
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:49,059
All right, great.

751
00:40:49,059 --> 00:40:49,779
Son of a bitch.

752
00:40:51,460 --> 00:40:56,420
This explosion of sound, you land in this lush green field

753
00:40:56,420 --> 00:41:00,179
at the basin of this massive wide mouth river.

754
00:41:00,179 --> 00:41:02,420
There's a waterfall that's pouring over

755
00:41:02,420 --> 00:41:04,180
and you turn and you look up

756
00:41:04,180 --> 00:41:06,500
and you see this huge mountain range

757
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:09,300
that stretches high above the clouds.

758
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,260
You can barely, you can't even make out the peak of it.

759
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:17,539
Glim, you get a call and a pull

760
00:41:17,539 --> 00:41:19,460
and a feeling inside of you

761
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:21,380
like you've never felt before

762
00:41:21,380 --> 00:41:24,500
because this is Mount Celestia

763
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,500
that you are standing at the base of.

764
00:41:27,139 --> 00:41:29,700
We, we're, you guys, this is, this is it.

765
00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:33,860
100 percent, I feel it in my bones

766
00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:36,100
and my veins and everywhere.

767
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:36,820
That's awesome.

768
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:38,820
Did you guys see how I landed?

769
00:41:38,820 --> 00:41:40,340
My fist was on the ground.

770
00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:45,140
So you went for marble superhero pose.

771
00:41:45,140 --> 00:41:46,500
Yeah, it was so cool.

772
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:47,000
Got it.

773
00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:49,940
Okay, Glim, where do we go?

774
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:51,460
Yeah, follow that pole.

775
00:41:51,460 --> 00:41:55,700
Okay, I think we're going up the mountain guys

776
00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:57,860
so I'm glad we've all been in training.

777
00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:00,420
Oh, are you sure it's pulling you up the mountain

778
00:42:00,420 --> 00:42:04,019
and not around the mountain, through the mountain?

779
00:42:04,019 --> 00:42:07,300
Uh, well, I don't, I mean, through the mountain.

780
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:10,340
That, that isn't really.

781
00:42:10,340 --> 00:42:12,340
Tunnels, Glim, tunnels.

782
00:42:12,340 --> 00:42:15,059
Yeah, but we need like maybe a dwarf for that.

783
00:42:15,059 --> 00:42:17,460
Can I ride on the horse if we're going up the mountain?

784
00:42:18,420 --> 00:42:20,019
Is a horse good on mountains?

785
00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:22,120
Lie.

786
00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:24,019
I mean, this one is.

787
00:42:25,140 --> 00:42:26,019
How about bridges?

788
00:42:28,820 --> 00:42:30,980
Do not bring up bridges.

789
00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:33,059
No, not bridges.

790
00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:36,660
He's fairly sure footed.

791
00:42:36,660 --> 00:42:37,940
Oh, cool, cool, cool.

792
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:38,340
All right.

793
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:41,940
Well, I'm feeling a little, a little winded.

794
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:43,140
I feel like.

795
00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:45,300
Flammikins, we literally just got here.

796
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:46,980
Yeah, but it's not like they erased it.

797
00:42:47,620 --> 00:42:51,140
I saw you riding like backwards on that fucking horse earlier.

798
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:54,500
Don't call that a fucking horse.

799
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:56,180
That'll upset a goth.

800
00:42:56,259 --> 00:42:59,219
And a goth came back here to help us.

801
00:42:59,219 --> 00:43:00,259
Do you see that horse?

802
00:43:02,899 --> 00:43:04,980
And a goth just starts walking towards the mountain.

803
00:43:06,659 --> 00:43:07,619
We all follow you.

804
00:43:07,619 --> 00:43:12,179
Just like a trail of like misfit like has no business being there, people.

805
00:43:13,379 --> 00:43:15,219
Behind the only person who looks qualified.

806
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:16,980
And Glim.

807
00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:18,579
Goliaths do love mountains.

808
00:43:18,579 --> 00:43:25,379
We cut back to the med tent and Leos and Flint are, are looking down where

809
00:43:26,179 --> 00:43:28,500
the group was and now they are not.

810
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:33,139
And the soul bridge gem is sitting like it's fallen to the ground in the middle of it.

811
00:43:35,059 --> 00:43:38,579
There's no way to know, but I think it worked.

812
00:43:39,379 --> 00:43:44,099
OK, does this thing have enough juice in it to do that again?

813
00:43:44,659 --> 00:43:46,259
He picks it up and looks at it.

814
00:43:46,819 --> 00:43:47,619
Damn it, Flint.

815
00:43:47,619 --> 00:43:49,779
I'm a I'm a receptionist.

816
00:43:49,779 --> 00:43:51,859
I don't I don't know what I'm doing here.

817
00:43:51,860 --> 00:43:57,539
I mean, that doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence, but,

818
00:43:58,260 --> 00:44:01,539
uh, yeah, I mean, we got this, right?

819
00:44:01,539 --> 00:44:02,260
We can do it again.

820
00:44:02,260 --> 00:44:04,099
Yeah, you're next.

821
00:44:04,099 --> 00:44:05,220
Yeah, yeah.

822
00:44:05,220 --> 00:44:07,620
Um, I guess I'll I'll go get the others.

823
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:08,579
I'll get everything ready.

824
00:44:09,220 --> 00:44:14,740
Pop out of the tent and walk up to Thea and say, it's, uh, it's go time, friend.

825
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:15,700
All right.

826
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:18,500
What do we see everybody else doing?

827
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:26,820
Telgier grabs the amulet that's around his neck and he he whispers a little prayer to,

828
00:44:26,820 --> 00:44:34,579
uh, tear his God and he knows that there's nothing coming back the other way,

829
00:44:35,219 --> 00:44:40,179
like his God no longer exists in any way, shape or form on this plane.

830
00:44:41,139 --> 00:44:49,539
And he kind of looks back towards Flint and Thea and, uh, Lipsinki and he kind of just,

831
00:44:49,539 --> 00:44:53,460
like, gives them the, like, not a thumbs up, but gives them like a little point

832
00:44:53,460 --> 00:44:55,859
and it's like, you guys got this.

833
00:44:56,659 --> 00:45:00,980
And he just like turns and like marches towards that portal.

834
00:45:02,179 --> 00:45:07,059
Um, I guess I guess it's just us.

835
00:45:07,940 --> 00:45:10,900
I can't believe that.

836
00:45:11,539 --> 00:45:14,340
I can't, I can't believe he really did that.

837
00:45:14,340 --> 00:45:16,579
I mean, we have to go to the abyss now.

838
00:45:16,579 --> 00:45:18,659
I have to give him back his stupid horse.

839
00:45:20,659 --> 00:45:21,940
He was my only friend.

840
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:23,699
Now he's gone.

841
00:45:26,019 --> 00:45:30,500
He just destroyed him after he'd served him for all those years

842
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:33,380
and he helped him take over the whole stupid world.

843
00:45:34,179 --> 00:45:35,380
He was never going to stop.

844
00:45:36,180 --> 00:45:37,539
No matter who served him.

845
00:45:37,539 --> 00:45:38,260
What are we even?

846
00:45:39,380 --> 00:45:40,260
We gotta go.

847
00:45:40,260 --> 00:45:41,059
Yep, let's go.

848
00:45:41,700 --> 00:45:43,059
Yep, let's go.

849
00:45:43,940 --> 00:45:46,900
But Lipsinki wasn't your only friend.

850
00:45:49,220 --> 00:45:50,660
Or doesn't have to be.

851
00:45:50,660 --> 00:45:51,700
Whatever, don't make it weird.

852
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:54,180
And she marches into the tent.

853
00:45:56,900 --> 00:46:00,660
If you turn around and head back into the tent to see Leosin waiting for you.

854
00:46:01,379 --> 00:46:02,980
All the paperwork done?

855
00:46:02,980 --> 00:46:03,779
Is this all?

856
00:46:03,779 --> 00:46:04,579
Where's Vorunax?

857
00:46:07,779 --> 00:46:10,179
Oh, okay, okay, no, this is.

858
00:46:10,179 --> 00:46:12,179
Yeah, he's given us time.

859
00:46:12,179 --> 00:46:16,099
Okay, okay, uh, get ready.

860
00:46:17,619 --> 00:46:19,619
And he begins the ritual again.

861
00:46:21,299 --> 00:46:26,259
Outside we see Elia Nighthunter and Opal.

862
00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:28,740
Elia Nighthunter and Opal.

863
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:35,460
The, not the last three.

864
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:38,020
Talgir's making a stand.

865
00:46:38,020 --> 00:46:41,060
You see that the two main groups have gone now

866
00:46:41,060 --> 00:46:44,580
and more is pouring out of this port.

867
00:46:45,940 --> 00:46:49,460
Nighthunter, I just want to say two things.

868
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:51,940
I love you.

869
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:55,780
For some reason we make it through this.

870
00:46:56,820 --> 00:46:58,900
You can definitely get one of those horses.

871
00:47:00,180 --> 00:47:05,940
Elia, I did not know I was unhappy till I, till I found you.

872
00:47:09,540 --> 00:47:11,700
I will fight hard for the horse.

873
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:15,620
And of course, I love you.

874
00:47:16,420 --> 00:47:20,260
Well then, let's take as many out as we can.

875
00:47:20,260 --> 00:47:21,540
Shall it be a competition?

876
00:47:22,660 --> 00:47:24,820
Sure. Opal, you want in on this?

877
00:47:27,220 --> 00:47:27,620
You know.

878
00:47:28,260 --> 00:47:29,140
It's a contest.

879
00:47:30,420 --> 00:47:30,900
Fuck it.

880
00:47:32,980 --> 00:47:33,940
Let's give it a try.

881
00:47:36,420 --> 00:47:37,780
He charges forward.

882
00:47:39,540 --> 00:47:43,540
And all of you on the beach, all of you remaining on the beach,

883
00:47:43,540 --> 00:47:47,220
the Tabaxi who have come back out of the trees to fight.

884
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,380
The three of you, Nighthunter, Elia and Opal.

885
00:47:52,180 --> 00:47:54,580
And Talgir who is making his way.

886
00:47:56,260 --> 00:47:58,100
Towards this closing portal.

887
00:47:59,540 --> 00:48:07,780
You hear another loud crack and a blast of light echoes and it blows the tent apart.

888
00:48:10,020 --> 00:48:15,620
I need somebody who's part of that group to roll a set of percentile dice, please.

889
00:48:16,180 --> 00:48:17,220
Not I, said the duck.

890
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:17,940
Not I.

891
00:48:17,940 --> 00:48:18,420
I'm on it.

892
00:48:19,460 --> 00:48:20,020
82.

893
00:48:20,739 --> 00:48:28,099
Nighthunter, Elia, and Opal, as you charge towards the horde that's oncoming,

894
00:48:28,099 --> 00:48:30,980
each of you make a dexterity saving throw.

895
00:48:33,139 --> 00:48:34,340
25.

896
00:48:34,340 --> 00:48:35,380
Oh, that's not that bad.

897
00:48:35,380 --> 00:48:35,940
19.

898
00:48:36,659 --> 00:48:37,699
Could have been better.

899
00:48:37,699 --> 00:48:38,900
Could have been way better.

900
00:48:39,699 --> 00:48:40,980
Roll a 16 on the die.

901
00:48:40,980 --> 00:48:43,139
I don't have Opal's up, but it's probably like a plus 12.

902
00:48:43,139 --> 00:48:44,579
I'm sure it'd be huge, yeah.

903
00:48:44,579 --> 00:48:45,619
It's ridiculous.

904
00:48:45,619 --> 00:48:46,739
Yeah, for sure.

905
00:48:46,739 --> 00:48:48,500
Mine is a, oh shit, no.

906
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:49,619
Oh shit, no.

907
00:48:49,619 --> 00:48:50,579
I'm looking at the wrong.

908
00:48:51,139 --> 00:48:51,780
Oh no.

909
00:48:52,420 --> 00:48:53,059
Oh no.

910
00:48:53,619 --> 00:48:54,099
11.

911
00:48:55,460 --> 00:48:56,099
It's all right though.

912
00:48:56,099 --> 00:48:57,460
Those other ones are going to carry you.

913
00:48:57,860 --> 00:48:58,739
You have an 11?

914
00:49:02,820 --> 00:49:04,420
Okay, please don't hate me.

915
00:49:07,860 --> 00:49:10,900
As light rings out and

916
00:49:11,059 --> 00:49:15,380
we flash in scene and it's similar to before, but it gets

917
00:49:17,539 --> 00:49:22,900
mountainous and darker for Thea, Flint, and Lipsinki.

918
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:31,220
And you crash down into this moss-ridden cave

919
00:49:33,539 --> 00:49:34,099
and

920
00:49:34,099 --> 00:49:39,219
there's immediately this sound of

921
00:49:41,219 --> 00:49:43,219
battle happening around you.

922
00:49:46,259 --> 00:49:54,420
Groaning sound of undead and undead and zombies and skeletons are blasted back

923
00:49:55,139 --> 00:49:56,339
from your location.

924
00:49:56,980 --> 00:50:02,660
Undead and zombies and skeletons are blasted back from your location.

925
00:50:05,140 --> 00:50:12,900
You have appeared in the middle of what is an enormous battle and off to one side you see

926
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:20,900
a figure standing atop a high throne.

927
00:50:21,539 --> 00:50:31,300
His long white hair down over his purple maroon skin who looks surprised to see you.

928
00:50:32,579 --> 00:50:41,619
You hear calls of panic behind you and you turn and look and Thea you see a familiar face.

929
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:46,900
Couple of them, Margaret and Lex.

930
00:50:49,619 --> 00:50:54,660
And then there's another crack off and to the right in the middle of this

931
00:50:54,660 --> 00:50:56,500
horde and more are blown back.

932
00:50:58,340 --> 00:51:10,900
And Night Hunter you land hard to the ground.

933
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:24,740
There's the sound of a desert wind that cuts through all of the chaos that's happening and

934
00:51:24,740 --> 00:51:35,220
we find ourselves back in Callimport and there's large doors that bust open as Yenbul

935
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:38,740
runs through the entryway of her home.

936
00:51:42,980 --> 00:51:45,139
Hello is anybody here?

937
00:51:47,780 --> 00:51:50,740

938
00:51:51,619 --> 00:51:56,900

940
00:51:59,380 --> 00:52:00,500
Dear she's returned.

941
00:52:01,780 --> 00:52:02,820
No Yenbul.

942
00:52:04,019 --> 00:52:05,139
Come here darling.

943
00:52:05,860 --> 00:52:06,360
Yes.

944
00:52:07,079 --> 00:52:14,519
It's it's so it's so wonderful to see you I feel like I haven't seen you in a lifetime.

945
00:52:14,519 --> 00:52:18,519
Darling why why are you so upset why you cry don't cry.

946
00:52:18,519 --> 00:52:24,039
It's just it's been it has been so long since I have seen you and I love you so much and.

947
00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:29,800
Well I love you too dear but it hasn't been that long I mean.

948
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,200
Doesn't feel like that long does it?

949
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,240
It is you know it wasn't short but.

950
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:41,000
I mean we've only been through maybe five vintages of the wine since you've left.

951
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,040
Don't get me wrong I missed you.

952
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:44,540
Yes.

953
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:45,880
Definitely but.

954
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:55,000
But sometimes when you're traveling it feels like you are away from.

955
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
You get homesick that's fine yes I understand come to mommy.

956

Sherry port.

959
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:08,840
Something.

960
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:11,159
Port.

961
00:53:11,159 --> 00:53:12,599
Oh just go get them all dear.

962
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:18,039

Geez we might have to swap out Pippery seems to have a hard time hearing these days.

965
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,239
How have things been here?

966
00:53:32,679 --> 00:53:43,400
Oh you know in in Kellenport it is safe it is everyone is well.

967
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:44,360
So fun.

968
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:51,559
Well I did notice some some new folks sort of giving us funny looks the other day and I didn't

969
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:58,840
I didn't much care for that but but really you know it takes all types they say.

970
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:07,000
But sit down darling what what's wrong you seem so emotional did something happen.

971
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:14,680
I I don't think I can really explain but.

972
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,720
Right well maybe you could explain the strange dialect you've picked up along the way.

973
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,480
Sound sound like the child we raised.

974
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,400
Oh she's probably just hanging out with some of those cool friends of hers.

975
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,039
Oh do you have some cool friends these days.

976
00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:31,800
Have you made cool friends in your travels?

977
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,720
I know you always said you wanted to.

978
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,400
The room begins to get darker as you're discussing.

979
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:44,360
Huge storm clouds begin to roll in not from the ocean but from the land.

980
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:47,800
Pippery didn't tell me we'd have weather.

981
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:54,039
Sorry something terrible is about to happen we need to.

982
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,480
Oh it's just a little rain darling don't be over dramatic.

983
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,000
No you don't please just we need to stay safe.

984
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:06,440
Who do we need to pay off just tell us we can we can go into the coffers and

985
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:08,759
muster up enough.

986
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,599
I can sell my fourth ring of three wishes.

987
00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:18,679
I'm just kidding I wasn't able to get that another person beat me out at the auction.

988
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,279
He was so upset darling you should have seen him.

989
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:27,160
Just going on and on about still going on and on about it.

990
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:36,680
I am not trying to be dramatic but we have to go to the palace and we have to go see the

991
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:42,519
Viscount he is the only one who can who can help stop this and gather the troops and

992
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:46,200
please just believe me please.

993
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,600
Darling stop what?

994
00:55:48,759 --> 00:55:53,719
The Viscount is a very busy man it usually takes at least a week or two to get on his appointment.

995
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,960
Something terrible is about to happen and it's going to happen soon and everything.

996
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,400
The bells begin to ring at the watchtowers outside the city.

997
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,199
We must go.

998
00:56:02,199 --> 00:56:06,199
Well if it'll make you feel better darling I'll just.

999
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:09,159
Yes please please just humor me let's go.

1000
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,880
All right it's been a while so I guess we we can humor you a little bit.

1001
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:21,960
I'm like physically pulling them with me like we need to go.

1002
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:28,119
Oh okay Pippery forget the drinks ready transportation.

1003

You've had many drinks sir.

00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,840
Don't tell me things I already know Pippery get the horses ready.

1007
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:48,120
We hear the sound of a carriage take off down the street.

00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,480
We'll talk again soon.

1044
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:35,160
I'm just gonna grab it.

1045
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,519
While you're looking at spell sheets.

1046
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,039
Let's cut over to Moot and Sully.

1047
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,640
Well that doesn't allow me to look at a spell sheet, Russ.

1048
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,440
Let's cut over to Sully.

1049
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,480
He said S.

1050
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,039
Like it's actually just filled with my Korean skin creams.

1051
00:58:58,599 --> 00:58:59,160
Be careful.

1052
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:00,519
They're imported.

1053
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:02,599
We cut back to the beach.

1054
00:59:02,839 --> 00:59:04,360
I don't want to be at the beach.

1055
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,000
Well, there's still like, there's still a team back at the beach.

1056
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,119
So many people at the beach.

1057
00:59:08,119 --> 00:59:09,400
I just prefer to just be in Celestia.

1058
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,719
I guess it just feels a lot less pressure.

1059
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,920
We go back to 1982.

1060
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:15,559
Yes.

1061
00:59:15,559 --> 00:59:17,000
Everyone looks amazing.

1062
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,039
The hair is big.

1063
00:59:20,519 --> 00:59:21,960
There's so much eyeshadow.

1064
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:22,920
It's incredible.

1065
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,719
The music's spot on.

1066
00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:24,920
You find glamvaronox.

1067
00:59:28,039 --> 00:59:30,199
And he is serving looks.

1068
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:30,920
All day.

1069
00:59:33,559 --> 00:59:35,880
He stays ready so he doesn't have to get ready.

1070
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,279
Hair teased for the gods.

1071
00:59:38,279 --> 00:59:39,400
Or one.

1072
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:39,799
Yeah.

1073
00:59:39,799 --> 00:59:40,519
In particular.

1074
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:42,519
Something terrible.

1075
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,079
He will be by the end of this day if he keeps acting like that.

1076
00:59:52,039 --> 00:59:52,539
Rude.

1077
00:59:54,519 --> 00:59:56,039
I mean, I thought he was going to kill you.

1078
00:59:56,039 --> 00:59:58,360
So I'm much happier to have you in the abyss.

1079
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,480
But you're going to die.

1080
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:04,519
Not that I don't have complete faith in you, of course.

1081
01:00:04,519 --> 01:00:05,000
But it's like.

1082
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,159
Well, it is like two, three schmoes against Orcus

1083
01:00:09,159 --> 01:00:10,360
and the whole army of the undead.

1084
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:11,480
But I'm sure we'll be fine.

1085
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,440
You'll be fine.

1086
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:13,480
It's going to be fine.

1087
01:00:14,119 --> 01:00:15,559
My heart will go on with Nighthunter.

1088
01:00:15,559 --> 01:00:17,239
I've abandoned you.

1089
01:00:18,599 --> 01:00:19,559
Mid-battle.

1090
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:21,319
I'm never going to win the body count.

1091
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:23,639
Never going to get that horse.

1092
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,920
Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
