[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.3s] I have been hunting for a way to confront Orcus and undo this.
[9.7s] A direct path seems to have been opened. I cannot turn away from that opportunity.
[15.4s] And there's this, this echoing crack that you hear from multiple locations.
[23.0s] That does not sound good.
[24.4s] No, no, it's, we need to be ready.
[28.2s] Voronox. You heard that, Lipsinki?
[31.9s] Yeah, sounds like daddy's home and we better get out of here.
[35.6s] I think it's time you make your move.
[37.8s] I already failed once here. It's not going to happen again.
[43.4s] And just slowly advance on him, Axe-Drawn.
[46.5s] The two of you charge towards each other and with a flash of light coming up between you,
[51.7s] you raise your weapons to strike down at each other.
[54.2s] And this huge crack rings out back in the med tent.
[60.4s] Flint's body's eyes open with a huge gasp of air sits straight up.
[69.7s] With Thea and Leosin and Glim and Bahamut all standing around him.
[77.8s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.
[81.8s] Also with me today is Karla Maxted.
[84.5s] She, her, tonight I will be Glim, Elia, Lipsinki, maybe Animal, all she, her.
[92.1s] And Tom Laird.
[93.1s] He, him, and I am playing Flint, Moot, and Telgir.
[97.6s] And Amy More.
[99.1s] Yeah, hi. I will be playing Thea and Night Hunter, she, her,
[105.0s] as well as Sullivan's Light, he, him.
[107.5s] And joining us again today, Kristen Flemmons.
[111.8s] Again and always, she, her, playing Agath, Godloss, Cato, Olavi, also she, her.
[118.8s] And Kyle Claset.
[120.6s] Yeehaw, everyone. It's me, Kyle, from the Texas place.
[124.2s] And I'm so glad to be back playing Voronax, he, him, and I am he, him, as well.
[130.5s] From the Texas place.
[132.1s] Yes, this is your escape to the fantasy world now.
[136.2s] I need it, and thank you.
[137.5s] Yep, fair enough, yep, fair enough.
[139.4s] Everyone needs it.
[140.6s] Glad to have everybody here.
[142.4s] Yes, very excited about, about what's to come.
[147.2s] The stuff?
[147.7s] All this timey wimey nonsense is coming to a head, my friends.
[151.5s] Doctor Who would be proud.
[153.1s] Or, real disappointed.
[155.1s] Yeah, either or. It's tough to say which way it would go.
[158.6s] You're not fucking it up right.
[160.5s] That's right, we get a slap on the wrist for this.
[163.0s] The fact that Doctor Who hasn't shown up is, is, you know, just the way it's supposed to be.
[168.2s] The testament to, yeah.
[169.2s] It's a real show of restraint on our part.
[173.1s] You say we could introduce NPCs, yes.
[178.2s] Yeah, also have the, I also hold the right to have Orcas just eat them,
[183.0s] num-num, as soon as they arrive.
[185.5s] That's actually good to know, too.
[187.1s] Short and sweet.
[188.3s] I mean, he will play with them in his, in his, in his molars there for a little while
[193.4s] where you have a-
[195.4s] He'll play with you in our molars.
[197.0s] That's what I was looking for.
[199.7s] Oh, no.
[200.5s] Yep.
[201.0s] Oh, no.
[201.6s] No, he won't agree with that.
[202.7s] No, embrace it, Carla.
[204.4s] I wasn't gonna say it, but they beat me to it.
[207.4s] So where that happens is over on Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast,
[212.2s] where we have to change our rating, I think, to make it that.
[217.4s] But also you get an episode dedicated to you when you're a patron.
[220.6s] Like today's patron, Nick Jones.
[223.5s] Thanks, Nick.
[224.2s] Way to go, Nick.
[225.1s] Nick.
[225.7s] Thank you, Nick.
[226.2s] Oh, boy.
[227.4s] What time stream is Nick in?
[229.0s] Who knows?
[229.5s] There's so many.
[230.4s] Molar time.
[233.4s] Okay, let's dive in.
[237.2s] Fuck it.
[237.8s] Let's play.
[239.0s] Yes.
[241.8s] Amy thought we were going for, like, a new catchphrase.
[244.0s] I know.
[244.3s] I was like, you know, you can't change it, Russ.
[245.8s] You're changing everything.
[246.6s] You see the look of panic.
[247.9s] Like, I bring Orcas in.
[249.3s] I jump people ahead 10 years in time.
[251.6s] Back 10 years in time.
[253.0s] Nothing.
[253.9s] Change the intro.
[255.0s] Let's jump into it.
[256.4s] Are we a let's jump into a cast?
[258.5s] I said dive.
[259.1s] He said dive.
[260.1s] Fine.
[260.4s] Are we a dive into a cast?
[262.1s] No.
[262.3s] I was trying it out.
[263.4s] The look on your face is said, don't fucking do it.
[266.5s] I aborted.
[267.1s] I pulled the record.
[269.0s] Orcas ate it.
[269.8s] Nom nom.
[270.8s] Shoot it around on his molars.
[272.4s] And now we're back in the lightest timeline.
[277.5s] Vorunax, you rush out of the tent, followed quickly by Lipsinki,
[282.4s] and see before you this whirling vortex of water,
[288.3s] as all of the undead that you had turned away
[291.0s] are now cresting back up and out of the crashing waves.
[295.0s] And you look deep within this black swirling portal,
[299.9s] and you see a face that you instantly recognize.
[304.7s] It's that of Orcas, whose eyes lock dead on you.
[311.5s] I stare back defiantly despite the slight tremble
[316.3s] I have in my right knee, which is my bad knee anyway.
[319.6s] I mean, that could mean anything.
[320.8s] That could be fear, or it's going to rain.
[322.7s] Exactly.
[324.8s] And I kind of just reach my hand out for Lipsinki,
[329.2s] kind of backwards, underhanded for like a little bit of a low five.
[334.3s] As we stare this down.
[335.8s] Yeah, we can do this.
[337.2s] I mean, I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do,
[341.0s] but we can do something.
[343.0s] We can try.
[344.1s] Yeah, we can try.
[346.6s] Everybody else on the beach, all the undead begin
[350.6s] walking out of these crashing waves.
[353.4s] You hear the call of these undead dragons.
[356.8s] They're blasting their necrotic breath out across the sky,
[361.4s] and moving to swoop down.
[365.3s] So did you like call them back or something to discuss?
[370.3s] I notice all the zombies are coming back.
[373.1s] I point to the giant whirlpool in the sky
[377.0s] that has the goat-headed face in it.
[380.1s] Say, well, see, that's daddy.
[385.1s] And when daddy's home, they do what he says.
[388.8s] Uh, so, ready yourselves.
[392.8s] Get to where you need to be.
[394.9s] Yeah, if you thought it was bad before, it's about to get a lot worse.
[398.1s] Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
[399.4s] So does that make, who's mommy?
[401.3s] Well, let's just say it makes him mad when we bring up mommy.
[405.4s] I mean, families can look like all sorts of different things.
[408.0s] Sometimes there's a mommy and a daddy.
[409.7s] Sometimes it's just a daddy.
[411.8s] Yeah.
[412.5s] Yeah, anyway, he's, he's.
[413.8s] If someone could just tell me where I should be,
[415.8s] because you said get to where you need to be,
[417.6s] and I haven't, I don't know where I'm supposed to be.
[422.1s] Where you can hit things, I think.
[426.4s] That, and he points up to, to Orcus.
[432.7s] Or any of those, as I point out to the beach horizon.
[437.6s] There are options.
[438.5s] We cut back to the med tent as Flint's body has just shot up to a seat.
[451.1s] Oh my God, Flint, Flint, Flint, Flint.
[455.2s] Yeah, yeah.
[456.6s] Yeah. Hold on a second.
[459.3s] Yeah.
[459.8s] Yeah, that was, that was wild.
[461.2s] How many fingers am I holding up?
[463.2s] How many fingers are you holding?
[465.4s] How many fingers do you think I'm holding up?
[467.4s] I mean, just the one.
[468.5s] Yeah.
[469.0s] It is, and it's the middle finger.
[470.8s] How did you know?
[472.8s] Just, just the one, you're just holding the one.
[475.8s] Oh my God.
[477.4s] Okay.
[478.0s] And then she slaps him on the shoulder.
[480.0s] Never allow someone else to put another soul inside your body
[483.8s] and then get trapped with them for a long time and then,
[486.6s] and then make us do a crazy ritual.
[490.5s] Yeah, all those things, all of those things.
[492.8s] You.
[494.7s] Okay.
[497.0s] Um, how do I know it's really you?
[503.6s] What's the Dragonborn doing here?
[505.6s] Oh, hey, I'm, I'm Glim.
[507.4s] It's really great to meet you.
[508.7s] I've heard so much about you.
[509.8s] I've been sort of helping a little bit with your whole thing.
[514.8s] Cool. Cool.
[516.5s] And that one, who's that one?
[520.9s] Yeah. Hey, Bahamut, glad to be here.
[526.2s] Okay.
[526.8s] Yeah. Cool.
[527.9s] Cat Lord over in the corner there too.
[532.2s] Welcome back.
[533.4s] There's some problems going on outside.
[538.6s] I know the reunion is, is, is mighty, but once we get you back in time,
[545.6s] there might be more time to kind of go over the logistics of who, when, where, why, how.
[551.4s] Okay. Okay. Back in time.
[553.9s] Cool.
[555.3s] That are we, are we going now?
[557.1s] That's the plan.
[558.2s] Leosin is prepping the ritual.
[561.3s] Leosin's kind of, he's tired.
[563.7s] Leosin's always prepping the fucking ritual.
[565.7s] You see him and he looks, he looks like worn down.
[568.6s] Like this ritual took a lot out of him.
[571.9s] He's flipping pages, setting up other elements.
[576.6s] I'm going to need, I'm going to need some time.
[579.5s] Not long, but if you can hold them, hold them off
[582.6s] for just, just a few minutes, we'll be able to, we'll be able to send
[586.7s] at least the first group and then work on the second one.
[589.4s] Send up a signal when you're ready.
[590.7s] We'll, we'll go out.
[591.8s] Oh yes.
[592.5s] Flynn, maybe you stay here.
[594.3s] Okay. Yeah. That sounds okay for now.
[596.9s] Uh, Glim gives Leosin some electrolyte drink just to sort of like replenish a little bit.
[601.8s] Absolutely.
[602.3s] Doesn't look that great.
[603.5s] She always has some in her camel back.
[606.7s] Are you guys sharing a straw?
[608.1s] I'm just squirting it.
[609.9s] Right into his mouth.
[611.1s] Okay, nice. The, uh, looks at Flynn and says, stay.
[617.1s] Yeah, no, no, I, I heard you.
[619.1s] And she runs out of the tent.
[621.5s] And Glim goes out to, I wonder what Bahamut does.
[625.5s] I wonder, I bet he, I bet he turns into a dragon.
[629.3s] In the tent?
[630.3s] Nah.
[631.1s] Yeah, just fucking wrecking stuff.
[633.6s] Oh, that guy.
[635.1s] Bahamut begins to stride out.
[638.3s] How cool do we want Bahamut to look like?
[640.3s] Oh, I think he should dive out of that tent and immediately turn into a dragon.
[644.6s] Transform.
[645.3s] Yeah.
[645.6s] Okay.
[646.1s] That's pretty cool.
[646.6s] Here it is, I got it.
[647.8s] Bahamut slowly walks out onto the beach, moving the tent flap aside.
[653.3s] And then it begins to stretch and like twangs his back a little bit and like holds
[660.1s] it and he's just kind of, he bends over and she's like a deep breath.
[668.8s] And then he sneezes and then explodes out as this gigantic platinum dragon that skims
[679.1s] across the water surface towards the dragons in the sky.
[685.5s] That was cool.
[687.1s] Super cool.
[689.9s] Not at all an old man way to turn into a dragon, it's fine.
[692.8s] Nope, nope, Brad.
[694.1s] Did he rub some bed and gay on his back?
[696.6s] He just got done shoveling the driveway.
[698.9s] Yep, exactly.
[700.4s] My sciatic.
[707.2s] Agoth, where do we find you?
[708.7s] On top of Rex's back, heading to meet the front that's incoming.
[716.6s] Not too far because you got to maintain the perimeter close-ish to the tent so
[722.6s] they can't flank you, but yeah.
[724.7s] As the undead are coming up, what weapon does Agoth use again?
[729.9s] So many.
[733.7s] So many weapons.
[735.8s] And is there a cool thing that you want to use?
[738.4s] Do you have a post-it note up that you really want to emphasize?
[741.5s] Because we're mostly in the business of these scenes just describing cool shit that we do.
[745.9s] So I think because she's getting up on Rex's back as he's sort of already in a
[751.2s] gallop and galloping forward, before we're close enough for full melee,
[755.5s] she's gonna pull the lance off her back and throw it and make a nice undead kebab
[761.5s] in one direction and then grab the spear and throw that in the other direction.
[765.6s] And then her coolest weapon is the Revenant double-bladed scimitar.
[770.9s] And so then that comes out as the two-handed weapon as she's gonna start.
[776.7s] Just, you know, like as if you're like, what is the word for when you're harvesting grain?
[784.4s] Like siving wheat.
[786.3s] Threshing heads off of undead as Rex tramples them underfoot.
[793.0s] Horse tearing across.
[794.7s] Tabaxi were close to the water, but as I feel like Rex and Agoth tearing
[801.3s] up this beach are not only pushing back the undead, but also scattering the Tabaxi
[808.6s] back to the forest line.
[811.5s] There's this loud rumbling chuckle that comes out of the portal and emanates and
[818.3s] vibrates your chest, Vorunax, and there's...
[823.1s] The voice rings out not to everyone else, but more just in your head.
[832.1s] Vorunax, what happened to my boy?
[837.1s] Blood Lord, the shadow that was, that is, and will be, I have found a way
[846.3s] for you to assume the power that is rightfully yours sooner than now.
[854.7s] I ask that you trust your humble servant.
[856.7s] And I am definitely going for deceit here.
[864.0s] Roll deception, please.
[867.9s] That is a 26.
[870.4s] Oh damn.
[872.2s] You've already won.
[874.0s] If this doesn't work, you have nothing to lose.
[879.2s] There's this sound that emanates.
[883.1s] It's heard not just in your mind, but all across the beach.
[889.4s] It's this guttural...
[896.4s] Starts as a growl or moan and turns into like this shriek pitch of a scream.
[910.8s] The portal begins to open wider.
[913.1s] It begins to grow immensely in size.
[923.1s] Everybody who came out from the tent, you see...
[928.0s] Well, for the first time, because this is all kind of happening at the same time,
[931.5s] this massive portal that's expanding quickly now to the size of what could be a castle.
[941.1s] This hooved clawed leg steps out from beyond it.
[954.5s] Thea and Glim, you step out and you see this giant hooved clawed foot
[958.4s] stepping out from beyond this dark, black, roiling portal.
[963.4s] What the legitimate fuck is going on out here?
[965.9s] We were just doing a ritual and somehow they opened a portal?
[968.6s] Um, did the ritual open the portal?
[971.5s] No.
[972.6s] No.
[973.5s] No.
[975.5s] It doesn't matter.
[977.2s] Um, hey, um, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[982.7s] Hey.
[983.3s] Vernux, what the fuck man?
[986.2s] Um, I'm working on it, I'm working on it.
[990.9s] I don't think I'm working very good though.
[992.9s] Do you need to hit me or something?
[994.0s] Do you need to like make it real?
[995.8s] Don't stab me though, but you can hit me.
[997.9s] I can take it.
[998.7s] I don't think that's necessary.
[1000.5s] But whatever we need to do to get the ball rolling on fixing things.
[1007.4s] The ball is, um, is being prepared?
[1010.5s] Yeah, he's like hydrated, he's working, um, what should we do?
[1014.7s] Fight him, fight those undead on the beach.
[1017.9s] What's the, what's our best plan?
[1019.2s] Are we just staring at each other?
[1020.4s] He seems to be coming through.
[1021.3s] Is he coming through to talk?
[1023.0s] Unlikely.
[1023.9s] I'm, I'm certain he may know.
[1027.9s] Know how?
[1028.7s] Yeah, he's not, he's not much of a talker.
[1031.8s] Especially when he is looking like this.
[1034.9s] So I guess what I'm trying to say is we should probably all, um, fight.
[1039.3s] Do any of you have abilities to negate that?
[1044.3s] To help close that?
[1046.3s] To help, help close that?
[1049.4s] No.
[1049.7s] Anything?
[1050.5s] Uh, uh, okay.
[1053.1s] What, what kind of, what, what, what kind of stuff doesn't he like?
[1056.7s] You know, like, um, like I know he likes the living.
[1060.7s] Okay.
[1061.1s] Fair.
[1061.5s] All right.
[1061.8s] Like sunshine, sunshine.
[1063.6s] It's bad for him.
[1064.6s] Yeah.
[1068.6s] Agoth, your scimitar is swirling and knocking, knocking heads off.
[1073.7s] You feel a small weight jump up behind you and this blast of chaotic energy goes out
[1081.7s] like swirling out in front of you.
[1083.7s] Yeah, look at that.
[1085.7s] I can do that.
[1086.7s] See, make explosions in front of.
[1088.7s] Oh, sorry.
[1089.4s] Whoa.
[1089.9s] Sorry.
[1090.5s] I almost, almost disrupted the horse there.
[1093.5s] Hey, hey Moot.
[1094.8s] Hey Moot.
[1095.9s] We gotta prove to Agoth that coming to Celestia is really cool this time of year.
[1101.1s] Yeah.
[1101.5s] And I'm also throwing, Moot's also throwing like eldritch glass all over the map here.
[1106.8s] Yep.
[1107.4s] Yep.
[1107.8s] Celestia, pretty awesome this time of year.
[1111.0s] Definitely Flamikins is right about that.
[1113.2s] You gotta come.
[1114.2s] We do not even know which year.
[1116.0s] Well, I think it's just kind of like an all the time thing.
[1118.3s] It's like the year of our Lord Bahamut, which is like every year.
[1122.5s] So as long as we land in a year where Bahamut's there,
[1124.7s] it's the year of our Lord Bahamut.
[1126.3s] I hear he's a really cool guy.
[1128.0s] Someone was telling me that earlier.
[1131.1s] You know, I have heard that a time or two.
[1132.9s] Yeah, totes.
[1134.9s] Hey, Agoth, there's a big arm coming through there.
[1139.1s] It looks.
[1142.0s] You see that?
[1142.7s] How close is the big arm?
[1144.4s] Oh, it's it's it's like down the beach, but it looks like Orcus.
[1150.0s] It was hard to miss.
[1152.6s] I mean, I don't know.
[1154.9s] You want to punch that face?
[1157.4s] Oh, I don't think you should punch him right now.
[1159.9s] That seems like a bad idea.
[1160.5s] No, it wasn't really like a well, now's the time to do it.
[1163.5s] It was more of like a disbelief.
[1165.1s] Gotcha.
[1165.5s] Gotcha.
[1165.9s] Glider on the same page.
[1166.9s] You want to climb up that that loin skirt that he's wearing
[1171.7s] and climb all the scars and skin suit that he has on and.
[1177.7s] Unlike you, I have no desire to be near the loins of any god.
[1182.5s] Well, that feels a little bit pointed, but I get them.
[1185.9s] I get what you're saying.
[1188.1s] Maybe not that loin.
[1189.3s] I don't want to see what's under that loin cloth.
[1191.7s] Do you think there should maybe be perhaps less talking and more
[1197.8s] beheading of undead?
[1199.6s] Oh, yeah, you bet.
[1200.7s] Watch this.
[1201.2s] You behead them and I'll do something cool.
[1203.5s] I'll behead a few.
[1204.5s] And then lightning tears down from the sky,
[1207.3s] like incinerating the bodies through the middle.
[1210.4s] Look at that.
[1212.3s] Undead kebabs.
[1213.9s] That's.
[1215.0s] Nothing impresses this one mood.
[1217.1s] Fuck.
[1218.2s] I mean, she's seeing some things.
[1220.1s] Yeah, that's true.
[1220.9s] So are they like both on the horse with me?
[1222.7s] I just don't know.
[1231.5s] How I picture it in my mind's eye, this is probably not physically possible,
[1235.5s] but like Flamikinskins jumped on with moot on her shoulders,
[1238.9s] which is really awkward because moot's a half orc.
[1241.5s] But I really like it for like a short half orc, but still.
[1245.2s] I thought for a moment, maybe like Flamikinskins had gone like backwards
[1250.7s] in front of a goth.
[1253.5s] So they're face to face having this awkward conversation.
[1256.6s] And it was on the back.
[1258.7s] So it was kind of like a really weird socially awkward sandwich happening.
[1262.3s] And then she's like, I just, I didn't ask for this.
[1267.6s] Just like, hold that thought stab here.
[1270.3s] OK, yes, slice there.
[1273.0s] Wonderful.
[1273.6s] You're trying desperately to do the murder thing
[1276.0s] and just having to make polite conversation work.
[1280.0s] This is why you work alone.
[1282.3s] It is.
[1283.3s] We cut back to the med tent where Leosin is trying to busy,
[1289.1s] not trying to busy himself.
[1290.4s] Just killing time, really.
[1291.8s] He's just doing paper work.
[1294.9s] I'm just taking a drink.
[1296.2s] Better look like I'm working hard.
[1297.9s] Doing some busy work.
[1298.9s] He was done about 15 ago.
[1300.5s] But it's just trying the same cut.
[1303.9s] I didn't actually do anything.
[1305.1s] They all did.
[1306.4s] The magic was all in them.
[1307.9s] I just made it look really cool.
[1310.0s] Uh, no, I'm trying to get this ready.
[1314.1s] Can you?
[1315.6s] Are you Flint or are you bored?
[1320.4s] I'm here right now.
[1322.3s] What do you need help?
[1325.1s] You're right.
[1325.6s] No, we need to get this done.
[1329.2s] Go grab that box of thingamabobs.
[1332.4s] The cat named the box.
[1334.3s] It's really actually very important.
[1336.2s] Crystals and incantation.
[1340.1s] Essence incense is the word.
[1342.2s] Essence.
[1342.6s] It's got essence, too.
[1344.3s] Essence.
[1344.9s] Okay.
[1345.1s] Handle with care.
[1345.9s] Got it.
[1346.4s] Please.
[1346.8s] And just start setting it up around.
[1349.1s] We'll discuss that later, I guess.
[1351.1s] Okay.
[1351.5s] Cat?
[1351.9s] Cat Lord?
[1353.1s] Oh, Cat Lord's gone.
[1356.2s] Cat Lord?
[1358.7s] Classic.
[1360.3s] We cut back to Vorunax and Thea and Glim and Lipsinki.
[1364.8s] Lipsinki, you feel as now the arm and like upper body of Orcus
[1371.7s] and like this shadowy image of his face is just looming.
[1375.8s] You feel a pull on the wand of Orcus that's at your back.
[1379.9s] Like a psychic pull or physically it is moving.
[1382.7s] A force is trying to remove it and propel it through.
[1386.9s] To remove it and propel it through the air towards the big Orcus man
[1391.5s] that's walking through the port.
[1395.0s] Well, I'm going to try and grab it, obviously.
[1398.4s] Vorunax, he's trying to get it back.
[1401.7s] First off, hand that back over.
[1403.9s] There's something I must do.
[1408.1s] All right.
[1408.5s] I mean, he's really pulling on it.
[1410.6s] I understand.
[1412.7s] I go ahead and I take it and I reach into my bag
[1415.1s] and I pull out a very shoddily made like wooden horse.
[1419.1s] It's obviously like the first thing Vorunax ever,
[1422.5s] you know, made as a whittler or woodworker.
[1425.5s] And he says, Lipsinki, find me where y'all are going and give me this.
[1435.3s] All right.
[1436.8s] I would never let go of this.
[1439.5s] Give this to me and I should trust you.
[1442.3s] All right.
[1444.5s] But what are you going to do?
[1446.3s] And then I look over at Glem and I say, you there,
[1451.5s] father of Bahamut.
[1453.4s] Yeah.
[1456.3s] Can I have your holy symbol?
[1462.5s] I know you don't know me.
[1466.3s] If I give you this.
[1467.7s] You won't get it back.
[1468.3s] Is it going to stop?
[1469.8s] No, I wasn't going to ask that.
[1471.5s] Really Bahamut lives in my heart, you know, it's just something to focus on.
[1474.7s] But is it going to help with that?
[1477.9s] With your level of faith that was displayed in that tent?
[1482.3s] I hope so.
[1483.4s] Well, then, yeah, of course, it's just it's.
[1487.1s] Yeah, Bahamut lives in me.
[1488.4s] You can have this.
[1489.7s] Okay, I take that.
[1492.5s] And my plan is to let myself be carried away by the wand.
[1499.1s] And as I intersect with like the portal, I'm going to or before that happens,
[1504.8s] I would injure myself severely to be under 100 hit points,
[1510.9s] let myself get pulled towards the portal.
[1513.3s] And as I reach the portal, cast power word kill on myself with the locket
[1519.7s] or with the holy symbol in hand, hoping that by the one by the two gods that remain,
[1526.0s] one of them will help stop this portal through faith alone.
[1534.3s] Cool.
[1539.9s] Wait, did you not see that one coming?
[1544.3s] We don't like it for word.
[1545.9s] It's like he was reading from a script.
[1547.2s] What are you talking about?
[1548.3s] You don't like it when guests kill themselves off.
[1550.8s] No, there's I see the direction that you are presenting.
[1555.4s] And I like it.
[1565.7s] Vorunax lifts off the ground, holding on to the wand of Orcus, flying through the air.
[1575.1s] And as you are getting closer, Orcus is a lot bigger in size and in strength
[1581.5s] and in power that he's emitting than the last time you saw him.
[1585.8s] I don't think you've been to the abyss in quite some time.
[1589.8s] They're being posted here to clear and destroy.
[1594.7s] As you get, you feel the waves of the portal rippling off
[1602.3s] and this being that's so enormous in front of you gets into view.
[1609.9s] Those that can see through the chaos that's happening,
[1613.1s] probably just the few that were standing beside Vorunax,
[1617.0s] trying to figure out what to do with the portal.
[1618.8s] You see him pierce through his chest with his sword, sticks out the other side.
[1625.4s] Then a glow begins to emanate from the wand of Orcus.
[1631.6s] And you see this explosion of light happen right at the edge of the portal.
[1639.3s] And it sends out this rippling wave that courses across the beach.
[1645.9s] We hear the sound of Leosin call out,
[1651.3s] I'm ready, ready for those that are heading to Celestia.
[1669.5s] I think Thea and them are probably the only ones who hear that.
[1672.9s] So Thea looks around and spots Sully is vaulting off of,
[1682.6s] essentially parkouring off of these undead forms,
[1689.3s] running up the side of one and slicing a head off with his scimitar.
[1695.9s] Slicing a head off with his scimitar and then doing a backflip onto the
[1703.2s] neck of another one and snapping it and then slicing into it.
[1707.5s] And Thea calls out to them, it's time, it's time, come!
[1714.1s] Hey, hey, Moot! Moot, it's time to go, Agoth!
[1718.9s] There's something happening over there.
[1721.1s] I don't think, I don't think Night Hunter and Hylia and Opals are coming with us
[1726.0s] because they said they'd stay and fight here.
[1728.3s] And whatever just happened there, there was a lot of power going on, so I think we gotta go.
[1736.3s] What I'm saying is, are you coming with us or are you staying to go with the next group?
[1740.1s] And I think Agath will just give a dramatic sigh as she wheels
[1745.5s] uh, racks around and starts galloping them all towards, back towards the tent.
[1752.5s] It's kind of like she realizes that they are all gonna die without her.
[1757.7s] This is not gonna, like, this is not gonna go well for them.
[1761.6s] Look, look, look, I know you wanna die in battle, punch an orcas in the face,
[1766.2s] what if I could promise you you're gonna die in battle, punch,
[1769.8s] maybe not, maybe orcas, maybe somebody in the face.
[1773.2s] And then it's victorious and it's like you punched orcas in the face.
[1776.7s] I could make a mask.
[1778.5s] I think you just say, like, Agath just sort of pointedly ignoring.
[1782.7s] Moot, I think I'm getting through to her.
[1785.4s] Yeah, yeah, it looks like you're really making headway.
[1788.9s] Sully steps up from a body that he had previously been on top of and takes two daggers
[1798.2s] and drags them across the neck of this undead and stands up covered in blood and says,
[1804.6s] it's been a slice.
[1807.4s] And then looks around and there's, like, literally no one around to hear and he's like,
[1810.9s] gah, fuck.
[1812.0s] And then, like, starts to run off to the, to the tent,
[1815.9s] feeling less cool than he had just a moment ago.
[1819.3s] Glim looks at Lipsinki, whose friend has just sacrificed himself,
[1824.8s] and asks her, are you, are you okay?
[1829.6s] We have to go, but are you okay?
[1833.0s] Well, I don't, I don't, I can't believe he did that.
[1836.6s] I thought, I don't know, I guess I thought somehow deep inside he was kind of just,
[1844.3s] I don't know, he's just tricking y'all, but he really did it.
[1849.5s] He, he sacrificed himself for,
[1853.2s] I don't know if I'm all right.
[1858.4s] I don't want to hurt you in this tender moment, Lipsinki,
[1861.8s] but are you just tricking us?
[1864.3s] Just want to know.
[1865.2s] Just want to know before we thrust ourselves into a portal together.
[1868.8s] Um, Glim's going to give Lipsinki a hug.
[1873.1s] Of course she is.
[1874.8s] I trust you.
[1876.3s] I know you're going to do the right thing.
[1879.0s] And then turns and goes to inside the tent to find Leosin so they can go.
[1884.2s] And Dan's like, are you going to do the right thing?
[1887.8s] But are you really?
[1889.5s] Really?
[1891.5s] Team Celestia head into the tent where Leosin has a new altar set up.
[1899.6s] He says, quick, quickly.
[1901.2s] And as the tent flap closes behind them, there's this ripple in the portal as
[1906.5s] Vorunax's lifeless body
[1909.9s] with the glow still coming from it, lands in Orcus's hand.
[1916.2s] Orcus holds the body as this wave of bright, brilliant energy is fighting against the portal.
[1927.1s] My poor sweet boy sacrificed yourself to save what these last few remaining tortured souls
[1938.7s] of this realm.
[1941.1s] We've made it so far together, conquered the gods, worlds, and planes,
[1948.2s] only to have yourself extinguished in an instant.
[1955.3s] And he squeezes his hand closed.
[1958.8s] Disappointing.
[1960.8s] I could bring you back to me, have you by my side for all eternity,
[1966.1s] but you are not worthy of that anymore.
[1971.5s] You will serve me, though, by being an example of what happens
[1979.7s] when you cross the most powerful being to have existed.
[1984.5s] And you see him open his hand, and a body falls lifeless to the ocean.
[1991.2s] He looks out at everyone as this portal is now being simultaneously growing and contracting
[2003.5s] at the same time.
[2004.8s] Hmm. You have moments before you join me in the abyss.
[2014.0s] Have your moment before the strongest of you are released.
[2021.1s] You are carried to my throne.
[2025.4s] There's this echoing, menacing laugh that rings out, and he takes two steps back.
[2035.0s] And coming out from it are these enormous winged creatures, these huge, weathery
[2044.6s] wings in there.
[2045.9s] They look more like giant worms, giant, like, purple worms than dragons.
[2055.9s] They begin pouring out into the landscape before you.
[2075.9s] We are in the middle now.
[2092.7s] Remix!
[2097.8s] Middle now, isn't it?
[2098.7s] It's a Gregorian chant, that's what we were talking about at the gook hang.
[2102.4s] If you don't know what we're talking about,
[2104.3s] it's Gregorian chant remixes.
[2105.9s] You should really come hang out with us once a month.
[2108.6s] Just become a patron.
[2109.9s] It's so fun.
[2110.8s] We talk about cool stuff.
[2111.5s] So we can tell you about all the hip new things, like Gregorian chants, right?
[2116.0s] All the rage these days, specifically.
[2118.0s] Yep.
[2118.7s] One of the many perks of being a patron, and that's what we're talking about today,
[2121.6s] is that we hit a goal here not too long ago, perhaps yesterday,
[2127.4s] and we're very excited about it because we get to do another live stream improv show.
[2131.9s] Oh yeah.
[2132.5s] Play by play.
[2134.1s] So fun.
[2134.9s] It's going to be at the end of the month here on March the 30th in the evening.
[2140.2s] It's going to be like a, it's a Wednesday evening show.
[2144.2s] Something to get you through to the next half of the week.
[2147.1s] That's right.
[2147.8s] And it's improv, so it's interactive.
[2149.0s] We're going to put hump and hump day.
[2151.4s] Almost certainly.
[2152.6s] It's really setting the tone early.
[2154.9s] Well, if you've been to any of our other live shows.
[2158.4s] Yeah, only one of them was specifically bad.
[2161.3s] Listen to our podcast.
[2164.8s] Only several of them were specifically that.
[2167.3s] Yeah.
[2167.9s] Yeah.
[2168.5s] But we would love for you to also become a patron and come join us at that,
[2173.4s] because all patrons will be able to do so.
[2176.2s] And there'll be interactive moments, there'll be laughs,
[2180.9s] or maybe it will just be so serious.
[2183.2s] It won't be, it has multiple drinks while doing live shows.
[2186.9s] Maybe I'll have a drink or two for this next one.
[2190.1s] Oh my gosh, you guys.
[2192.2s] Tom's going to get lit.
[2193.5s] Yep.
[2193.9s] Moot is going to be the most talkative Moot has ever been.
[2198.1s] We don't even know if it's going to be those three characters,
[2200.5s] but Moot will be there talking.
[2202.0s] Just popping in.
[2203.5s] We're very excited for it.
[2204.6s] And we want you to come join us.
[2205.7s] And if you are a patron, all the details will likely be available
[2210.8s] in the Discord or in Patreon, unless I went to bed before posting them.
[2214.5s] Then if he did, they'll be available soon.
[2216.7s] Yeah, the next day.
[2218.1s] Exactly.
[2219.2s] It's very exciting.
[2220.2s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[2222.1s] Can't wait to can't wait to do it again.
[2223.9s] Yes.
[2224.8s] Okay, bye now.
[2225.7s] Bye.
[2226.5s] Friends, half orcs, countrymen, lend me your pointy ears.
[2230.7s] Of Mice and Men and Monsters is a podcast which combines the art
[2234.8s] and beauty of classic literature with the fun of Dumbgeons and Dragons roleplay.
[2240.1s] These episodes are led by me, Kate, your master teacher,
[2244.3s] which is dungeon master meets high school English teacher.
[2247.6s] We take on quests in these fascinating worlds,
[2250.8s] meeting and adventuring with the greatest literary characters of all time,
[2254.7s] solving puzzles set up by the dubious Dr. Frankenstein.
[2257.9s] One eye is over there and the other eye is rolled over there.
[2261.4s] Hunting Moby Dick alongside Captain Ahab.
[2265.0s] I've rolled a one.
[2267.9s] Of Mice and Men and Monsters is a faithful yet irreverent way
[2271.9s] to interact with the stories which have influenced us for centuries.
[2276.2s] Plus, it's a much more exciting way to experience literature than writing an essay.
[2280.3s] Essays don't have swords which burst into flame or poop monsters hiding in toilets.
[2285.7s] Anybody got some poop for me?
[2288.2s] A new episode of Of Mice and Men and Monsters is released
[2292.0s] every other Wednesday wherever you listen to podcasts.
[2294.7s] Inside the tent,
[2305.1s] Team Celestia has gathered in the center of this altar and Leosin comes over to you and says,
[2310.7s] this is the Soul Bridge gem.
[2313.0s] This is what's going to power it.
[2316.1s] The Cat Lord's somewhere.
[2317.1s] We're going to draw from him.
[2317.9s] Maybe, maybe, I don't know.
[2320.1s] But Bahamut's energy is channeling into this.
[2323.9s] And as we do this, you will go to Celestia.
[2330.5s] I don't know what time.
[2332.7s] I don't know how much time you'll have.
[2335.6s] But you know your mission.
[2337.1s] It's to warn Bahamut before this happens.
[2340.7s] Yeah, aye, aye, Captain.
[2341.9s] Let's go.
[2342.3s] Yeah, we can do it.
[2343.3s] Celestia sounds like a walk in the fucking park
[2345.4s] compared to what's going on in here, so.
[2350.8s] I know how wrong am I.
[2352.9s] Oh, god.
[2354.7s] Yeah, for sure.
[2356.3s] Oh, Sully.
[2358.5s] Leosin steps out of the circle and he begins the ritual.
[2365.8s] Flint is off to the side assisting
[2371.1s] and a glowing light begins to churn around you
[2375.8s] and it begins to flash.
[2377.1s] You see images of outside where there's battle
[2379.7s] and images of beginning of the proverbial darkest timeline
[2384.4s] and all the battles that you've had
[2386.4s] and locations that you've known
[2388.3s] and greenery comes back and light comes back
[2391.6s] and it's all swirling around you in this giant vortex
[2395.5s] until you find yourself in a crashing,
[2401.9s] huge explosion of sound.
[2404.1s] Can Sully, like, land in a cool pose?
[2413.4s] Sully can land however he wants.
[2414.6s] I need somebody to roll me a set of percentile dice, please.
[2420.4s] You can fight amongst yourselves.
[2422.2s] Maybe a goth roll it.
[2423.5s] Yeah, it shouldn't be me.
[2425.5s] All right.
[2426.3s] Oh, god.
[2427.7s] No pressure.
[2428.8s] You don't know if high or low is good, so really no pressure.
[2431.1s] I have no idea.
[2434.5s] 27.
[2436.4s] Sounds great to me.
[2437.1s] Sounds like a good number.
[2440.0s] Is that a prime number?
[2441.1s] It is.
[2441.5s] It is.
[2443.1s] Yeah, it's gotta be.
[2444.0s] It's gotta be good.
[2444.7s] Important or something.
[2446.6s] All of a sudden we're on mechanics.
[2447.9s] All right, great.
[2449.1s] Son of a bitch.
[2451.5s] This explosion of sound, you land in this lush green field
[2456.4s] at the basin of this massive wide mouth river.
[2460.2s] There's a waterfall that's pouring over
[2462.4s] and you turn and you look up
[2464.2s] and you see this huge mountain range
[2466.5s] that stretches high above the clouds.
[2469.3s] You can barely, you can't even make out the peak of it.
[2472.9s] Glim, you get a call and a pull
[2477.5s] and a feeling inside of you
[2479.5s] like you've never felt before
[2481.4s] because this is Mount Celestia
[2484.5s] that you are standing at the base of.
[2487.1s] We, we're, you guys, this is, this is it.
[2490.7s] 100 percent, I feel it in my bones
[2493.9s] and my veins and everywhere.
[2496.1s] That's awesome.
[2496.8s] Did you guys see how I landed?
[2498.8s] My fist was on the ground.
[2503.6s] So you went for marble superhero pose.
[2505.1s] Yeah, it was so cool.
[2506.5s] Got it.
[2508.3s] Okay, Glim, where do we go?
[2509.9s] Yeah, follow that pole.
[2511.5s] Okay, I think we're going up the mountain guys
[2515.7s] so I'm glad we've all been in training.
[2517.9s] Oh, are you sure it's pulling you up the mountain
[2520.4s] and not around the mountain, through the mountain?
[2524.0s] Uh, well, I don't, I mean, through the mountain.
[2528.8s] That, that isn't really.
[2530.3s] Tunnels, Glim, tunnels.
[2532.3s] Yeah, but we need like maybe a dwarf for that.
[2535.1s] Can I ride on the horse if we're going up the mountain?
[2538.4s] Is a horse good on mountains?
[2541.6s] Lie.
[2543.1s] I mean, this one is.
[2545.1s] How about bridges?
[2548.8s] Do not bring up bridges.
[2551.0s] No, not bridges.
[2554.3s] He's fairly sure footed.
[2556.7s] Oh, cool, cool, cool.
[2557.9s] All right.
[2558.3s] Well, I'm feeling a little, a little winded.
[2562.7s] I feel like.
[2563.1s] Flammikins, we literally just got here.
[2565.3s] Yeah, but it's not like they erased it.
[2567.6s] I saw you riding like backwards on that fucking horse earlier.
[2572.8s] Don't call that a fucking horse.
[2574.5s] That'll upset a goth.
[2576.3s] And a goth came back here to help us.
[2579.2s] Do you see that horse?
[2582.9s] And a goth just starts walking towards the mountain.
[2586.7s] We all follow you.
[2587.6s] Just like a trail of like misfit like has no business being there, people.
[2593.4s] Behind the only person who looks qualified.
[2596.5s] And Glim.
[2597.0s] Goliaths do love mountains.
[2598.6s] We cut back to the med tent and Leos and Flint are, are looking down where
[2606.2s] the group was and now they are not.
[2608.5s] And the soul bridge gem is sitting like it's fallen to the ground in the middle of it.
[2615.1s] There's no way to know, but I think it worked.
[2619.4s] OK, does this thing have enough juice in it to do that again?
[2624.7s] He picks it up and looks at it.
[2626.8s] Damn it, Flint.
[2627.6s] I'm a I'm a receptionist.
[2629.8s] I don't I don't know what I'm doing here.
[2631.9s] I mean, that doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence, but,
[2638.3s] uh, yeah, I mean, we got this, right?
[2641.5s] We can do it again.
[2642.3s] Yeah, you're next.
[2644.1s] Yeah, yeah.
[2645.2s] Um, I guess I'll I'll go get the others.
[2647.6s] I'll get everything ready.
[2649.2s] Pop out of the tent and walk up to Thea and say, it's, uh, it's go time, friend.
[2655.3s] All right.
[2656.5s] What do we see everybody else doing?
[2658.5s] Telgier grabs the amulet that's around his neck and he he whispers a little prayer to,
[2666.8s] uh, tear his God and he knows that there's nothing coming back the other way,
[2675.2s] like his God no longer exists in any way, shape or form on this plane.
[2681.1s] And he kind of looks back towards Flint and Thea and, uh, Lipsinki and he kind of just,
[2689.5s] like, gives them the, like, not a thumbs up, but gives them like a little point
[2693.5s] and it's like, you guys got this.
[2696.7s] And he just like turns and like marches towards that portal.
[2702.2s] Um, I guess I guess it's just us.
[2707.9s] I can't believe that.
[2711.5s] I can't, I can't believe he really did that.
[2714.3s] I mean, we have to go to the abyss now.
[2716.6s] I have to give him back his stupid horse.
[2720.7s] He was my only friend.
[2722.8s] Now he's gone.
[2726.0s] He just destroyed him after he'd served him for all those years
[2730.5s] and he helped him take over the whole stupid world.
[2734.2s] He was never going to stop.
[2736.2s] No matter who served him.
[2737.5s] What are we even?
[2739.4s] We gotta go.
[2740.3s] Yep, let's go.
[2741.7s] Yep, let's go.
[2743.9s] But Lipsinki wasn't your only friend.
[2749.2s] Or doesn't have to be.
[2750.7s] Whatever, don't make it weird.
[2752.8s] And she marches into the tent.
[2756.9s] If you turn around and head back into the tent to see Leosin waiting for you.
[2761.4s] All the paperwork done?
[2763.0s] Is this all?
[2763.8s] Where's Vorunax?
[2767.8s] Oh, okay, okay, no, this is.
[2770.2s] Yeah, he's given us time.
[2772.2s] Okay, okay, uh, get ready.
[2777.6s] And he begins the ritual again.
[2781.3s] Outside we see Elia Nighthunter and Opal.
[2787.2s] Elia Nighthunter and Opal.
[2793.5s] The, not the last three.
[2795.5s] Talgir's making a stand.
[2798.0s] You see that the two main groups have gone now
[2801.1s] and more is pouring out of this port.
[2805.9s] Nighthunter, I just want to say two things.
[2811.3s] I love you.
[2814.1s] For some reason we make it through this.
[2816.8s] You can definitely get one of those horses.
[2820.2s] Elia, I did not know I was unhappy till I, till I found you.
[2829.5s] I will fight hard for the horse.
[2833.5s] And of course, I love you.
[2836.4s] Well then, let's take as many out as we can.
[2840.3s] Shall it be a competition?
[2842.7s] Sure. Opal, you want in on this?
[2847.2s] You know.
[2848.3s] It's a contest.
[2850.4s] Fuck it.
[2853.0s] Let's give it a try.
[2856.4s] He charges forward.
[2859.5s] And all of you on the beach, all of you remaining on the beach,
[2863.5s] the Tabaxi who have come back out of the trees to fight.
[2868.1s] The three of you, Nighthunter, Elia and Opal.
[2872.2s] And Talgir who is making his way.
[2876.3s] Towards this closing portal.
[2879.5s] You hear another loud crack and a blast of light echoes and it blows the tent apart.
[2890.0s] I need somebody who's part of that group to roll a set of percentile dice, please.
[2896.2s] Not I, said the duck.
[2897.2s] Not I.
[2897.9s] I'm on it.
[2899.5s] 82.
[2900.7s] Nighthunter, Elia, and Opal, as you charge towards the horde that's oncoming,
[2908.1s] each of you make a dexterity saving throw.
[2913.1s] 25.
[2914.3s] Oh, that's not that bad.
[2915.4s] 19.
[2916.7s] Could have been better.
[2917.7s] Could have been way better.
[2919.7s] Roll a 16 on the die.
[2921.0s] I don't have Opal's up, but it's probably like a plus 12.
[2923.1s] I'm sure it'd be huge, yeah.
[2924.6s] It's ridiculous.
[2925.6s] Yeah, for sure.
[2926.7s] Mine is a, oh shit, no.
[2928.5s] Oh shit, no.
[2929.6s] I'm looking at the wrong.
[2931.1s] Oh no.
[2932.4s] Oh no.
[2933.6s] 11.
[2935.5s] It's all right though.
[2936.1s] Those other ones are going to carry you.
[2937.9s] You have an 11?
[2942.8s] Okay, please don't hate me.
[2947.9s] As light rings out and
[2951.1s] we flash in scene and it's similar to before, but it gets
[2957.5s] mountainous and darker for Thea, Flint, and Lipsinki.
[2964.5s] And you crash down into this moss-ridden cave
[2973.5s] and
[2974.1s] there's immediately this sound of
[2981.2s] battle happening around you.
[2986.3s] Groaning sound of undead and undead and zombies and skeletons are blasted back
[2995.1s] from your location.
[2997.0s] Undead and zombies and skeletons are blasted back from your location.
[3005.1s] You have appeared in the middle of what is an enormous battle and off to one side you see
[3013.7s] a figure standing atop a high throne.
[3021.5s] His long white hair down over his purple maroon skin who looks surprised to see you.
[3032.6s] You hear calls of panic behind you and you turn and look and Thea you see a familiar face.
[3043.3s] Couple of them, Margaret and Lex.
[3049.6s] And then there's another crack off and to the right in the middle of this
[3054.7s] horde and more are blown back.
[3058.3s] And Night Hunter you land hard to the ground.
[3072.9s] There's the sound of a desert wind that cuts through all of the chaos that's happening and
[3084.7s] we find ourselves back in Callimport and there's large doors that bust open as Yenbul
[3096.5s] runs through the entryway of her home.

[3274.4s] The room begins to get darker as you're discussing.
[3278.8s] Huge storm clouds begin to roll in not from the ocean but from the land.

[3579.8s] In particular.
[3581.4s] Something terrible.
[3584.4s] He will be by the end of this day if he keeps acting like that.
[3592.0s] Rude.
[3594.5s] I mean, I thought he was going to kill you.
[3596.0s] So I'm much happier to have you in the abyss.
[3599.9s] But you're going to die.
[3602.6s] Not that I don't have complete faith in you, of course.
[3604.5s] But it's like.
[3605.0s] Well, it is like two, three schmoes against Orcus
[3609.2s] and the whole army of the undead.
