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

2
00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:07,360
Know that Voronox can be trusted, and I will save you this day, even if it costs me my life.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,560
Oh, no, that's not necessary. Holy unnecessary, sir.

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:14,800
No, it's my holy charge.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,440
It is so nice.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,480
Thea, you first to hear it, you quickly turn and you look and you see the silhouette

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,839
of what looks like a very large dragon.

8
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:26,240
Dragon!

9
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:29,519
Excuse me, why are you doing this?

10
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:35,439
You are in my territory. Leave now or perish.

11
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:36,079
Okay.

12
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:37,759
Okay. What?

13
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,920
You see like this, this welling of, of, of energy in its chest at the what?

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,200
She's definitely going to do.

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,079
Five.

16
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:47,519
Oh, fuck with the count.

17
00:00:47,519 --> 00:00:48,239
God damn it, Roz.

18
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:53,760
I don't know who you think you are, but that, that is mine.

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,039
No, you can't, you have to believe me, we're very good friends.

20
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:04,400
This scene plays out before you as you are standing in the middle of this building that

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,200
you're familiar with. Since memory comes back, you begin to be able to smell the wood in the

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:19,280
walls and the floor and the hearth burning, a stew cooking on the stove bubbling away,

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,640
and the sound of the whittling and the, the, the wooden carvings falling to the ground.

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,340
Hmm.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Peace.

26
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,280
I remember peace.

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,680
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More.

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,360
He, him, also with me today is Tom Laird.

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Yeah, that's me, he, him, and I am playing Flint, who also goes by he, him.

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,960
And Carla Maxted.

31
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,040
She, her, I am playing Lipsyn, Lipsinki Pip Diggins.

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Hard one.

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,560
Also goes by she, her.

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,640
And Amy More.

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,140
Yeah.

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,560
And Carla Clasett.

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
I didn't even get a count to five that time.

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,400
And my wife, Amy More.

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,240
Oh, fuck you, okay, Carla Clasett.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,719
Still not speaking to you.

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,439
Amy was left out of the intro all together.

42
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:25,200
How dare she swallow spit, forget who she was playing.

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,599
Sorry, Amy More.

44
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:30,879
Yeah, whatever, she, her.

45
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:36,959
Playing P.S., almost all of P.S., she, her, and Night Hunter, she, them.

46
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:38,719
And Kyle Clasett.

47
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:42,479
Hey, he, him, and I will be playing Vorunax, also he, him.

48
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:44,239
Thank you for joining us today, everybody.

49
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:45,280
You're welcome, sir.

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,959
Thank you for running a game for us.

51
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:49,919
Anytime, anytime, as long as it's a Tuesday.

52
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,280
Preferably Tuesdays at our regular scheduled time.

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,079
That's right.

54
00:02:54,079 --> 00:02:55,919
Is there anything else you can do on a Tuesday?

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,840
I wouldn't know, I haven't had a free Tuesday in years.

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,680
What do other people do on Tuesdays?

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,040
I don't know, sign up for a Patreon

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,040
so that they can have an episode dedicated to them.

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Today's Patreon?

60
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:08,720
Patreon?

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Patreon patron.

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Yeah.

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,000
I'm so sorry, Russ, I didn't mean to.

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Oh, no, it happens.

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,240
No, it's beautiful.

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,280
We loved it.

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,760
So smooth.

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880
God, we're going to have to start paying you just the dividends here, Kyle.

69
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,920
God damn.

70
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,080
Like, today's patron, ALex McCoon.

71
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,280
Thanks, ALex.

72
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,439
Thanks, ALex.

73
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:26,319
Thank you, ALex.

74
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Where you hear Kyle in our Dumbgeons and Downtime over on Patreon,

75
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,920
you can do that there too,

76
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,080
because Kyle hangs out everywhere with us.

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,400
Our camera's doing weird color changes.

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,199
It's freaking me out.

79
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:39,840
Yeah, you guys are very red.

80
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,319
It's very warm.

81
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:42,879
Hot.

82
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:46,400
But when you join us over there at Patreon.com slash DumbDragonCast,

83
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,920
that's what you get.

84
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,560
More Kyle.

85
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,560
We've made him join everything we do.

86
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,159
It was, we started slowly, but we're quite insidious.

87
00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:59,280
Russ sends me words and phrases to record,

88
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,879
and then he inserts them so quietly.

89
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:02,000
So you got to just listen.

90
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,159
Listen to everything multiple times.

91
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:05,039
See where you can hear me.

92
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:06,560
He is actually an adventures of.

93
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,280
Go search.

94
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,599
I've re-edited him back throughout the entire run of the show.

95
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:12,000
Perfect.

96
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,680
He just kind of pops in.

97
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,719
George Lucas'd me.

98
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:15,360
That's right.

99
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Yep.

100
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,180
Yeah.

101
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,500
Okay, let's play.

102
00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:27,060
Vorunax, you're standing in the middle of your home in Blackpool,

103
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:30,019
and you're watching Malice and Acer and yourself.

104
00:04:30,019 --> 00:04:37,300
They're guiding your hands as they're teaching you how to craft the wooden horse

105
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,060
that you hold now in your hand that has brought you into this memory.

106
00:04:41,699 --> 00:04:44,500
And you've been brought there by the spell that you cast upon it

107
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:50,019
to unlock all of your most precious memories.

108
00:04:50,019 --> 00:04:55,459
Vorunax is just standing there watching it, remembering, like, that was peace.

109
00:04:56,019 --> 00:04:57,300
That was peace for him.

110
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,060
And whether he still exists in, like, the material plane,

111
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:09,060
like, you know, if Lipsinki, Thea Knight, Hunter, and Flint can still see Vorunax,

112
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:11,860
he's just standing there, like, wide-eyed, crying.

113
00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:16,100
I think it probably makes sense that they see you.

114
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,699
So you, in your mindscape, have gone somewhere else,

115
00:05:19,699 --> 00:05:25,139
because that's probably how Vorunax would have relived these memories,

116
00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:30,980
is in the solace of your chambers, not having to go anywhere,

117
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:34,819
not having to be interrupted by anybody, just reliving these moments.

118
00:05:35,459 --> 00:05:43,300
So before you, everybody else, is Vorunax goes almost glassy-eyed

119
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:49,379
and is living something that you cannot see and begins weeping before you.

120
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:52,019
How does this memory end, Kyle?

121
00:05:52,659 --> 00:05:59,459
This memory ends with Vorunax proudly showing his first carving,

122
00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:03,860
and Malice just looks over at him and he says,

123
00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:07,060
well, we've all got to start somewhere, don't we?

124
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:14,899
And he kind of just takes it and he gives a subtle nod and a sly grin,

125
00:06:14,899 --> 00:06:20,180
and they just have a little bit of laugh at the expense of this crudely carved thing,

126
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:24,339
but it is the memory that really matters about it,

127
00:06:24,339 --> 00:06:26,500
regardless of the quality of the carving.

128
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,740
It's something that started him on a specific path.

129
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:40,500
This memory begins to fade for you, and it begins to fade into a new memory, a new scene.

130
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:49,300
And it is a scene of, it's a bit of a montage, because I mean,

131
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,540
I assume that Vorunax has a little flair for the dramatic,

132
00:06:53,540 --> 00:07:00,740
and so it's a montage of the thanks that townspeople have given him,

133
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:08,740
showing gratitude to Vorunax in different ways in one scene that it is melted into.

134
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:13,700
It is an old lady at a doorstep handing you a basket of freshly baked bread,

135
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:24,180
melting into a scene of children leaving bundles of wild flowers that they've picked on the side

136
00:07:24,740 --> 00:07:32,899
of the roads at your doorstep, melting into you shaking hands with the town mayor

137
00:07:32,899 --> 00:07:37,699
after getting rid of a particularly nasty, bothersome creature

138
00:07:37,699 --> 00:07:41,379
that's been stopping trade routes between that town and the next.

139
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:46,980
And all these memories are flooding one after another in fairly quick succession

140
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:53,379
where you're feeling the overwhelming feeling of gratitude and respect and belonging

141
00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:55,459
that you felt in this town.

142
00:07:55,459 --> 00:07:57,860
I like that. I like that a lot.

143
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:06,339
Scene shifts, and we're back in Blackpool after a long journey that Vorunax has taken,

144
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:14,260
doing good in the world, and there's smoke rising from beyond the hills as he approaches,

145
00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:21,140
rushes forward as fast as he can to try to get back to Blackpool,

146
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:28,020
to stop whatever is happening, but arrives there and sees the scene of devastation

147
00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:36,900
that we as the storytellers have told already several times,

148
00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:50,660
but it's where the entire town of Blackpool has been erased, its inhabitants destroyed.

149
00:08:50,659 --> 00:09:01,779
And that's where we see Vorunax now, on his knees, weeping with malice and acer in his arms.

150
00:09:03,219 --> 00:09:14,740
I think going down that rabbit hole, as far as things, this memory comes across as a mixture.

151
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:19,860
It means a lot because of who he lost.

152
00:09:21,059 --> 00:09:28,740
The scene of, you know, coming across the scene of malice and an acer being dead in the home

153
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:32,259
that they shared for so long before Vorunax got his own.

154
00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:37,299
Just the scene of devastation and destruction and realizing, you know,

155
00:09:37,299 --> 00:09:42,740
like he had been betrayed despite all the good he had done.

156
00:09:43,539 --> 00:09:52,419
It's that moment of turning and then spinning maybe like a week or so,

157
00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:58,100
just kind of in a funk, in a daze, walking around, like not even staying in Blackpool,

158
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,659
like he'd probably left right afterwards.

159
00:10:00,659 --> 00:10:04,659
So another montage of him just walking through different,

160
00:10:04,659 --> 00:10:08,180
you know, different parts of the countryside and different cities,

161
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:11,220
ignoring people the entire way.

162
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:16,340
Not like somebody on the side of the road pays them no mind, doesn't answer.

163
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:28,100
And then he reaches a point where he comes across another pAlydin,

164
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:30,820
a young pAlydin getting his start.

165
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:36,260
And this is the first time Orcus whispers to him.

166
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:43,460
Zed, he follows the one that killed your family.

167
00:10:44,020 --> 00:10:45,220
That was the first whisper.

168
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:54,100
And that was the first time that Vorunax took pleasure in his rage

169
00:10:55,220 --> 00:11:03,060
by murdering that nameless pAlydin and leaving him on the side of the road.

170
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:10,820
A scene of Vorunax wiping his blade on the grass,

171
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:19,940
sheathing his weapon, carrying on with this,

172
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:32,580
what he didn't see at the time but sees now through this altered version of this memory.

173
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:39,380
Of this figure floating, this aura and figure floating behind him

174
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:46,020
and beginning to follow him through this and all future memories that come.

175
00:11:49,060 --> 00:11:52,020
The next scene I don't particularly have an idea for.

176
00:11:52,020 --> 00:11:54,260
It's like something that's happened, obviously,

177
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:59,300
and we have loosely explained.

178
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:07,780
But when he goes back to Blackpool and sets that up, how does that sit in a

179
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:11,700
good memory?

180
00:12:12,660 --> 00:12:19,220
When he goes back to Blackpool after killing that pAlydin and starts to

181
00:12:20,340 --> 00:12:24,740
follow Orcus more and take over that town and convert people,

182
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:28,340
he feels good about that, right?

183
00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:35,139
He feels like he is helping them and also he feels some control,

184
00:12:35,139 --> 00:12:41,139
which obviously feels good when your whole everyone you love has been destroyed.

185
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:47,379
So he has family dinners with all of the deceased in Blackpool.

186
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:49,940
It's kind of a good memory.

187
00:12:49,940 --> 00:13:01,940
The memory fades into a scene of the battle at the Well of the Dragons and we see forces on all sides

188
00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:16,260
fighting and dying and the image of these swirling souls is coming into view.

189
00:13:16,819 --> 00:13:25,379
And all of these souls are churning about trying to find their place and being driven up into this

190
00:13:25,379 --> 00:13:28,419
storm that is brewing above the Well of the Dragons.

191
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:39,700
They're being sucked into what is this hidden or obscured portal in the sky and we see

192
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:40,420
and we see

193
00:13:43,940 --> 00:13:51,220
off in the distance we see Varnax and Varnax is standing behind himself and a group of his

194
00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:57,940
closest regime and watching this and enacting this and the casters that he has around him

195
00:13:57,940 --> 00:14:00,340
propelling this energy forward.

196
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:07,379
We see these souls being sucked up into this portal and appearing and churning within the

197
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:16,500
abyss, the roiling bubbling ichor of the abyss right in Orcus's lair.

198
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:24,980
Orcus is standing over this this funnel that is feeding directly into him and he is absorbing

199
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:27,539
this energy that's coming through.

200
00:14:27,539 --> 00:14:34,659
He's eating it up and we see him gaining power this hideous grotesque

201
00:14:34,659 --> 00:14:38,500
bulbous body with this goat skull head.

202
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:46,980
He is cackling with the most venomous laughter as he is gaining this initial

203
00:14:48,259 --> 00:14:53,539
push this initial power that allowed him to begin taking over the gods.

204
00:14:53,699 --> 00:15:00,579
Which seems like an apt transition to one of these jails, one of these holding facilities

205
00:15:01,299 --> 00:15:08,740
where we found Bahamut and several of the other gods and know that they were and are

206
00:15:10,179 --> 00:15:11,379
being held.

207
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:19,139
The scene is dark, sound of those chains echoing in the air,

208
00:15:19,539 --> 00:15:25,220
dark sound of those chains echoes out through the space.

209
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:37,059
And Pelor is visible, a god of light who appears to be becoming extinguished.

210
00:15:38,659 --> 00:15:48,819
Yeah, so, um, Orcus let Varnax kind of go to town on Pelor as they've got them all

211
00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:55,940
chained and collared up and obviously being a god and Varnax not being a god, he wasn't able

212
00:15:55,940 --> 00:16:04,340
to to do much other than inflict some minor pain on Pelor even after countless hours of

213
00:16:04,340 --> 00:16:12,820
attempting to torture him and that's when Orcus presented the wand into Varnax's hands

214
00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:18,660
and said this is what will help you in your quest.

215
00:16:20,740 --> 00:16:27,700
And there's this kind of like, you know, cut scene of like him, him wielding the wand close

216
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:34,660
to his face and you see like this eerie glow on his face and then like the camera stays there

217
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:40,580
but the wand moves out of scene and then you see like a flash of this eerie light on the other

218
00:16:40,580 --> 00:16:47,700
way and then Varnax just like smiles, this like evil smile. Do you have god blood on his face?

219
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,139
Yes. I mean, yeah.

220
00:16:52,660 --> 00:16:56,180
And there's the first day when he works with Lipsynche, she's just an intern.

221
00:16:58,420 --> 00:17:03,700
But there's something about her. Immediate connection. Kind of a real evil streak,

222
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:12,819
truth be told. This kid's got moxie. She really, yeah, can be creative in her cruelty

223
00:17:13,539 --> 00:17:20,180
and then just montages of them going on great adventures that they love. They

224
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:28,580
create a giant wave and drown a whole town to turn them into undead or they go

225
00:17:29,379 --> 00:17:37,859
and cause the creeping death and destruction around a small town as like everything just dies

226
00:17:37,859 --> 00:17:45,460
around it closes in and as they try to escape they die and nothing can be done. And man,

227
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:51,220
Lipsynche and Varnax just, it's so funny like when that one guy tries to run out,

228
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:53,939
what's he thinking even? We're taking bets and whatnot.

229
00:17:54,900 --> 00:18:01,299
100%. And of course we're in the airship and we're like working on prototypes of our

230
00:18:03,059 --> 00:18:07,380
undead drop zones. You have to account for the wind.

231
00:18:08,019 --> 00:18:17,059
Yeah, yeah. And I mean, it is gross and cruel, but the undead are like this never-ending

232
00:18:18,019 --> 00:18:25,940
resource of cannon fodder that we can just manipulate in all kinds of terrible ways

233
00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:31,859
and feed off each other. Like, oh yeah, well how about this? Oh yeah, well how about this?

234
00:18:32,419 --> 00:18:40,500
And yeah, become great friends with their shared cruelty, but I think also

235
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:48,819
like come to actually care about each other and yeah, are actually friends even if it's

236
00:18:48,819 --> 00:18:51,940
all based on, you know, taking over the world with Undead for Orcus.

237
00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:53,460
And not that either of them would admit it.

238
00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:54,099
Yeah.

239
00:18:54,099 --> 00:18:54,900
They're colleagues.

240
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:56,339
Totally.

241
00:18:56,339 --> 00:19:03,700
I think all those memories running together eventually coalesce into one moment where it's

242
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:12,180
just Vorunax and Lipsynche and they look tired. They've been at work for a while

243
00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:20,980
getting things done and they look just fatigued and Vorunax takes a moment,

244
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:24,819
sits back, looks at Lipsynche, just says,

245
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:30,659
Lipsynche, I have to admit

246
00:19:33,059 --> 00:19:40,019
that if there were one person I would want to see left alive, it'd be you.

247
00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:43,619
Oh, you. I feel the exact same way.

248
00:19:45,779 --> 00:19:51,379
Feels like a shame that we're eventually gonna have to go that way too, doesn't it?

249
00:19:51,380 --> 00:20:00,740
Well, I guess I hadn't really thought about it. At some point we will run out of other people.

250
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:02,580
Yeah.

251
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:05,220
Huh.

252
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:08,340
Well, the work must be done, right?

253
00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:15,220
And there's a whole world to or at least, you know, a fifth of a world left.

254
00:20:15,780 --> 00:20:21,220
Right. I mean, this is what we've been taught.

255
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:23,060
Must be done, right?

256
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,220
Absolutely.

257
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:32,820
Well, if it must be done again, I'm glad I get to do it with you.

258
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:37,140
Thank God I don't have to do it with that fucking Shangri-La guy. That guy's a fucking brick.

259
00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:41,700
Yeah, he was one of the worst and we have seen the worst.

260
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,740
You know what? I think we're the worst.

261
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:47,620
We are the worst.

262
00:20:47,620 --> 00:20:48,340
Clean cups.

263
00:20:48,899 --> 00:20:52,899
Whatever. You guys are drinking out of the same malt glass.

264
00:20:53,619 --> 00:20:54,899
Oh, yeah. Passing the straws.

265
00:20:54,899 --> 00:20:55,379
Two straws.

266
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:56,899
It's Shangri-La's skull.

267
00:20:58,899 --> 00:20:59,699
Yes.

268
00:21:09,699 --> 00:21:16,899
Do you want to hang out with us? It's gonna be a great time on the first Tuesday of the month

269
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:21,380
of the month with Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

270
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:23,940
We have a hang out every Tuesday.

271
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:25,860
Not every Tuesday.

272
00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:30,740
Just the first Tuesday of the month.

273
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:34,580
Okay, I'd like you all to just in your in your mind's eye,

274
00:21:35,540 --> 00:21:40,259
picture Russ, our wonderful, very, very handsome DM Russ,

275
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:46,180
arms tightly clenched around himself, eyes closed.

276
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:52,500
Creating this song for you. Messing up halfway through with a calendar thing,

277
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:57,060
which I'm sure is just killing him right now. But powering on.

278
00:21:58,980 --> 00:21:59,940
It was beautiful.

279
00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:00,820
It was really great.

280
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:00,980
Thank you.

281
00:22:00,980 --> 00:22:02,100
It was really beautiful.

282
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:05,940
But everything he said was true, except for the every Tuesday thing.

283
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:08,180
I corrected myself. So then everything else became true.

284
00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:11,940
Right. There was like a fact check within the-

285
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:13,060
Real time fact checking.

286
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:14,980
Yeah, exactly.

287
00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:16,259
We're just sitting over going, nope.

288
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:20,420
Nope. But yes, we do have a gook hang.

289
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:27,860
Fun fact, the original was dubbed gook hang because it was previously on Google Hangouts.

290
00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:28,740
It's true.

291
00:22:28,740 --> 00:22:30,900
And even though we don't use it anymore,

292
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,140
the name just kind of stuck and now it is a thing.

293
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:38,100
So we do that on the first Tuesday every month.

294
00:22:38,980 --> 00:22:39,940
See, it's not so easy.

295
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,980
It seems like every month you run out a little bit there.

296
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:48,740
It's the cry of all the patrons going, it should be every Tuesday.

297
00:22:49,539 --> 00:22:51,700
But then we could never record the podcast.

298
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:52,180
That's true.

299
00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:53,700
That would not work.

300
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:54,420
That's true.

301
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:54,900
That would be a problem.

302
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:59,700
But it's real fun. We hang out and talk about the show and mostly just actually

303
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:06,180
bullshit about just what we've been up to, what shows we're watching, and yeah, it's fun.

304
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:11,539
It's got a live chat within it that we watch and talk to you and ask you questions

305
00:23:11,539 --> 00:23:14,819
and find out more about what's going on in your world.

306
00:23:14,819 --> 00:23:17,859
But also a Q&A that Tom is very much in charge of.

307
00:23:17,859 --> 00:23:18,500
Absolutely.

308
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,899
I look forward to ignoring more of Jess's messages.

309
00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:21,940
That's right.

310
00:23:21,940 --> 00:23:25,460
If you're anyone who is not Jess, like ask in that Q&A.

311
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:26,259
Yeah, use that Q&A.

312
00:23:26,259 --> 00:23:26,819
That's for you.

313
00:23:26,819 --> 00:23:28,579
And we will answer.

314
00:23:28,579 --> 00:23:29,619
Oh, Jess, we love you.

315
00:23:31,059 --> 00:23:33,059
Okay. But we would love to have you.

316
00:23:33,059 --> 00:23:36,659
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast where we're recording this in the past.

317
00:23:36,659 --> 00:23:39,619
So I don't know if we've made it to our goal yet, but if we haven't,

318
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,660
we hope that you come join us and help us do that.

319
00:23:42,660 --> 00:23:43,540
100 patrons.

320
00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:44,420
It's a community goal.

321
00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred people, a lot of people in one space.

322
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:47,460
So many people.

323
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:48,340
So many people.

324
00:23:48,340 --> 00:23:49,780
And we would love for you to be there.

325
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:51,300
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

326
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:52,100
Okay, bye.

327
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:52,660
Bye.

328
00:23:52,660 --> 00:24:00,660
Bye Tuesday.

329
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:04,020
To Kyle, for Vorunax, do you feel like that would be one of the last

330
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:06,260
memories that he probably would have stored in there?

331
00:24:06,259 --> 00:24:07,859
I think that's the last memory.

332
00:24:07,859 --> 00:24:09,940
Yeah, that that he has in there.

333
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,220
I don't think he has the memory of what he did on the beach

334
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:16,339
because it just wasn't that time.

335
00:24:19,059 --> 00:24:23,859
And so, yeah, I guess Vorunax would come out of that glassy eyed look

336
00:24:24,819 --> 00:24:27,940
just like so many liquids coming out of the face

337
00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:31,779
in like an embarrassing way where he just like kind of like

338
00:24:32,339 --> 00:24:36,099
puts up puts up his cloak and, you know, he's a little embarrassed.

339
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:37,539
He's just like, I,

340
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:48,819
you lip-synchy, you appear to mean a lot to me

341
00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:55,379
in ways that I didn't think would be possible

342
00:24:56,339 --> 00:24:58,500
going forward from where I've been.

343
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:04,019
Well, it's true, we're very good friends,

344
00:25:04,019 --> 00:25:08,420
and we were very, very good being very, very bad.

345
00:25:09,619 --> 00:25:15,539
But now, you made this incredible sacrifice

346
00:25:15,539 --> 00:25:21,299
and Orcus was rising, you died, and we're here to,

347
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:24,019
we want your help.

348
00:25:24,019 --> 00:25:33,859
Vorunax walks over and takes the carving that future Vorunax gave you

349
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:36,660
and puts it back in your hand and takes your hand

350
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,019
and clasps it over it and says,

351
00:25:39,859 --> 00:25:44,099
this is yours, hold on to it.

352
00:25:44,099 --> 00:25:48,579
And he holds on to, he puts his hand back on it

353
00:25:48,579 --> 00:25:52,420
and also kind of like taps lip-synchy on the forehead

354
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,660
between the eyes and says,

355
00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:59,779
if you ever want to relive some of your memories with him,

356
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:06,019
all you have to do is just call upon it, should be able to know.

357
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:13,460
But if you're half as good as those memories made it seem to be, then

358
00:26:15,380 --> 00:26:17,700
perhaps I could get started on a new friendship early.

359
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:25,700
That is if, well, and I look over at like everyone else, just like,

360
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:33,059
I'm guessing you'll kind of forgive the things that I've done,

361
00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:35,220
but I guess I haven't done yet.

362
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:37,140
Well, I mean, I'm not going to lie,

363
00:26:37,140 --> 00:26:40,019
the stuff you've done already isn't great.

364
00:26:40,019 --> 00:26:41,940
Yeah, and I'd say it's in the past, but.

365
00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:45,380
But it's in the now, but also it is in the past.

366
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:47,460
But you know what?

367
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:53,380
We came to do a job, and if you can help us do that job,

368
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:57,220
then you got your whole future in front of you, kid.

369
00:26:57,940 --> 00:27:05,620
What if I could just step out of the picture, not die.

370
00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:07,300
I mean, Orcas would find me anywhere.

371
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:08,340
No, this is pointless.

372
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:11,860
And if I were to just die,

373
00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:15,460
then you'd wind up fighting me one way or the other.

374
00:27:16,660 --> 00:27:19,460
Oh, yeah, we would prefer you not die.

375
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:23,300
You are kind of pivotal to this whole plan we've got.

376
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:23,860
Yeah, I didn't.

377
00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:26,900
We, I'm not sure if we made this clear.

378
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:31,700
We traveled in time to get back here so that you could help us.

379
00:27:32,660 --> 00:27:33,540
Okay.

380
00:27:33,540 --> 00:27:35,140
You have what we need.

381
00:27:36,820 --> 00:27:37,700
Only you.

382
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:42,259
You are, you know, cornerstone, linchpin.

383
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:43,460
No, no.

384
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:45,220
That all the other important bits.

385
00:27:45,860 --> 00:27:47,299
You are saviors.

386
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:50,019
You are the heroes that people talk about.

387
00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:53,059
But you fall into that like you fall into bad guy stuff.

388
00:27:56,019 --> 00:27:56,660
I'm just saying.

389
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:57,779
Okay.

390
00:27:57,779 --> 00:27:58,580
Well, I'm just saying.

391
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:04,819
But the gods, they, what they did,

392
00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:10,819
you still believe in them enough to stop what they're doing?

393
00:28:10,819 --> 00:28:12,099
Well, they didn't.

394
00:28:13,539 --> 00:28:21,460
They, yeah, it was more Orcas did that to your memories.

395
00:28:21,460 --> 00:28:23,059
He puts on a great show.

396
00:28:24,339 --> 00:28:25,220
That's what I saw.

397
00:28:26,019 --> 00:28:26,419
Of course.

398
00:28:26,980 --> 00:28:27,539
We know.

399
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:28,980
We know that's what you saw.

400
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:30,179
We got to see you see it.

401
00:28:32,579 --> 00:28:32,980
Twice.

402
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:38,819
And you see like a green dragonborn blushing, which a little odd,

403
00:28:38,819 --> 00:28:39,940
but you know, it happens.

404
00:28:41,299 --> 00:28:41,940
Chuck truce.

405
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:43,140
Yes.

406
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:45,779
Do not be embarrassed.

407
00:28:47,779 --> 00:28:49,299
I mean, I already let you carry me.

408
00:28:50,420 --> 00:28:51,620
And I've seen you cry.

409
00:28:52,420 --> 00:28:54,660
In my culture, we are practically married.

410
00:28:54,660 --> 00:28:55,700
Don't tell my wife.

411
00:28:56,339 --> 00:28:56,819
Good to know.

412
00:28:56,819 --> 00:28:59,299
I'll be sure to keep it on the DL.

413
00:28:59,779 --> 00:29:05,700
Um, but, uh, I, I just, I just don't know.

414
00:29:06,419 --> 00:29:07,220
This is a stock.

415
00:29:08,099 --> 00:29:11,299
It's just all very soon, very sudden.

416
00:29:11,299 --> 00:29:14,419
I don't, I don't know what it means.

417
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:17,940
It's like a crisis of faith and met with an existential crisis,

418
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:20,740
met with an ego death.

419
00:29:23,539 --> 00:29:28,500
If you said my old future self sacrificed themselves for it,

420
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:31,059
then there was something, something that at the end,

421
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,019
it didn't seem right in my memories.

422
00:29:34,019 --> 00:29:35,940
It was a memory where we were talking.

423
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:40,579
And I asked you, like, do, do, do we have to do this or

424
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:43,059
something along the lines of being like,

425
00:29:43,059 --> 00:29:44,500
eventually it's going to have to be us.

426
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:47,859
And I didn't sound confident.

427
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:49,220
Yeah.

428
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:52,099
I mean, that, that crisis of faith and,

429
00:29:52,740 --> 00:29:55,539
and existential crisis and ego death.

430
00:29:55,539 --> 00:29:59,940
I mean, my goodness, I've, I've seen you do this two times today.

431
00:29:59,940 --> 00:30:04,899
Now once, once super evil, you super awesome, badass evil,

432
00:30:04,899 --> 00:30:08,579
you on the deck of an airship and you changed your mind

433
00:30:08,579 --> 00:30:09,859
and you wanted to help them.

434
00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:15,059
And now here it's, it's happening again and,

435
00:30:15,059 --> 00:30:22,819
and just know that you were way further along in serving orcas then,

436
00:30:22,819 --> 00:30:24,579
and you still changed your mind.

437
00:30:24,579 --> 00:30:29,939
Oh, and convinced Lipsinki to change hers because she was.

438
00:30:32,659 --> 00:30:33,460
I was not.

439
00:30:33,460 --> 00:30:35,539
No, I was still worried.

440
00:30:35,539 --> 00:30:36,740
She's going to turn on us.

441
00:30:38,740 --> 00:30:39,699
I don't trust you.

442
00:30:41,220 --> 00:30:44,579
I, I trust you Lipsinki.

443
00:30:47,059 --> 00:30:47,619
Feels odd.

444
00:30:47,619 --> 00:30:52,579
It feels like you've, you've been in the, you know,

445
00:30:52,579 --> 00:30:55,539
you've been in the organization a little bit longer than I have technically.

446
00:30:55,539 --> 00:30:59,539
And I feel like you're kind of my superior at this point.

447
00:30:59,539 --> 00:31:07,939
And well, if you're turning coat for lack of a better phrase, then fuck it.

448
00:31:07,939 --> 00:31:10,899
I guess it's just going to lead me to death one way or the other.

449
00:31:10,899 --> 00:31:15,460
Then what kind of existence is that?

450
00:31:18,579 --> 00:31:21,460
Well, I guess that means now you're my intern.

451
00:31:22,579 --> 00:31:25,220
I think that's only fair.

452
00:31:26,019 --> 00:31:27,059
Montage.

453
00:31:27,059 --> 00:31:29,299
He's at a typewriter at a desk.

454
00:31:29,299 --> 00:31:31,139
He's getting Lipsinki coffee.

455
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:34,419
I, I take a drink and I throw it.

456
00:31:35,539 --> 00:31:36,500
He's not hot enough.

457
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,059
He's up on the, the intern Memorial wall.

458
00:31:39,699 --> 00:31:40,099
Oh no.

459
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:42,659
Things have gone too far.

460
00:31:43,619 --> 00:31:45,059
Things have gone too far.

461
00:31:45,859 --> 00:31:55,460
Well, I guess that means, uh, we have lots of work to do, uh, uh, infiltrating orcas

462
00:31:55,460 --> 00:32:01,379
is a system and taking him down from the inside now before he can recap it

463
00:32:01,379 --> 00:32:04,179
and destroy the world 10 years from now.

464
00:32:06,179 --> 00:32:06,419
Yeah.

465
00:32:06,419 --> 00:32:07,619
So it only took that long.

466
00:32:09,059 --> 00:32:14,099
Well, you and I were a very, we were a very efficient team.

467
00:32:15,059 --> 00:32:20,179
Uh, I know you can't really say because you don't know how powerful he gets in the future,

468
00:32:21,379 --> 00:32:26,740
but on a scale of like kind of annoying to totally taken over the world,

469
00:32:26,740 --> 00:32:30,099
where would you put orcas right now?

470
00:32:30,099 --> 00:32:30,899
Like, what are we?

471
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:41,059
I, I think if orcas wants someone dead, they will find a way to make that someone dead.

472
00:32:42,019 --> 00:32:43,700
Um, and then undead.

473
00:32:45,220 --> 00:32:50,099
But naturally, you understand unnaturally, you know what I mean?

474
00:32:50,099 --> 00:32:50,500
Yeah.

475
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:50,740
Yeah.

476
00:32:51,779 --> 00:32:52,659
It's very confusing.

477
00:32:52,659 --> 00:33:01,779
Now a few deities have already been removed and that power course goes to orcas,

478
00:33:02,339 --> 00:33:05,859
even if the death comes at a hand of one of the followers.

479
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:09,539
So I know a payload is in there.

480
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:11,779
A few others.

481
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:16,579
It's a, it would be a hard, hard pressed fight to you.

482
00:33:17,379 --> 00:33:18,980
Well, you just got here.

483
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:21,940
I don't imagine you have any other allies.

484
00:33:21,940 --> 00:33:24,980
Oh God, I'm your only ally right now.

485
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:25,619
Yes.

486
00:33:25,619 --> 00:33:26,019
Yeah.

487
00:33:26,019 --> 00:33:26,500
Correct.

488
00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:28,019
Yeah.

489
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:29,779
Yeah.

490
00:33:29,779 --> 00:33:32,339
Do you realize how bat shit crazy that sounds?

491
00:33:32,339 --> 00:33:32,740
Yeah.

492
00:33:32,740 --> 00:33:39,139
I mean, to be fair, our only ally at this time in this place,

493
00:33:39,140 --> 00:33:44,100
but there's other, it's so much more complicated than even we've explained to you.

494
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:46,259
Oh my gosh, you guys, can we find us?

495
00:33:48,980 --> 00:33:55,140
Oh, yeah, you, we haven't met yet here.

496
00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:59,860
But I mean, you two were bound to meet sooner rather than later.

497
00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:02,100
How fucked up am I fucking things up right now?

498
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:07,620
There's a crack of energy above you, above the canopy of the forest.

499
00:34:09,139 --> 00:34:14,259
And Bahama comes down and goes, no, no, no.

500
00:34:15,539 --> 00:34:18,019
No, there's a crack of energy above you.

501
00:34:18,019 --> 00:34:22,339
And you hear just this faint distant sound.

502
00:34:22,339 --> 00:34:22,819
Oh no.

503
00:34:25,940 --> 00:34:27,299
Is this a countdown from five?

504
00:34:29,299 --> 00:34:30,819
It's fucking Grancis.

505
00:34:40,099 --> 00:34:44,659
I probably could have stopped him from falling, but I just didn't want to.

506
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:49,699
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.

507
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:50,579
I got Donnie.

508
00:34:51,859 --> 00:34:52,739
Oh my God.

509
00:34:53,619 --> 00:34:56,259
Hey, you forgot me in the fucking future.

510
00:34:56,259 --> 00:34:57,619
Jesus Christ.

511
00:34:57,619 --> 00:34:58,980
Listen, lots been going on.

512
00:34:58,980 --> 00:34:59,859
Are you okay, buddy?

513
00:34:59,859 --> 00:35:02,579
You put me in a bag and said, don't come out.

514
00:35:02,579 --> 00:35:05,219
And I was supposed to grab the bag.

515
00:35:05,219 --> 00:35:06,019
A lot happened.

516
00:35:06,019 --> 00:35:07,539
There was a giant portal.

517
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:12,179
And then old man Dingus over here walks out on the beach like, anybody out here?

518
00:35:12,739 --> 00:35:16,019
I was so fucked out and said, is anybody out here?

519
00:35:16,019 --> 00:35:18,739
And then I said, well, I guess it's just you and me.

520
00:35:18,739 --> 00:35:19,699
And then you know what he did?

521
00:35:19,699 --> 00:35:22,500
He picked up the bag and we walked into a portal.

522
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,900
Just a random fucking portal.

523
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:25,400
Okay.

524
00:35:25,779 --> 00:35:26,900
Did it close behind you?

525
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,500
Do you know if it closed behind you?

526
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:29,059
I don't know.

527
00:35:29,059 --> 00:35:29,559
Look up.

528
00:35:31,139 --> 00:35:32,900
That wasn't there before.

529
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:33,699
There's no portal.

530
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:35,539
I guess it closed.

531
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:36,440
Oh.

532
00:35:37,059 --> 00:35:42,820
Like the anus of one of those flappy flying things that flies at you backwards

533
00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:47,779
and tries to eat you from the inside out, upside down, and sideways.

534
00:35:48,420 --> 00:35:51,460
There's a lot of things that happened after you fucking left.

535
00:35:51,460 --> 00:35:52,820
Honey, I'm sorry.

536
00:35:52,820 --> 00:35:54,099
You want a cracker?

537
00:35:54,099 --> 00:35:54,739
Yeah.

538
00:35:54,739 --> 00:35:55,539
Yeah, I do want a cracker.

539
00:35:55,539 --> 00:35:55,940
Get over here.

540
00:35:55,940 --> 00:35:56,739
Do you have crackers?

541
00:35:56,739 --> 00:35:59,699
We're in the time before the crackers disappeared.

542
00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:02,500
I put a pocket full of crackers, but I forgot my pocket dragon.

543
00:36:03,219 --> 00:36:06,820
She cuddles him with him reluctantly, eating crackers.

544
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:08,420
Hey, everybody.

545
00:36:09,619 --> 00:36:10,659
What is happening here?

546
00:36:12,739 --> 00:36:13,780
I'm Grancis.

547
00:36:13,780 --> 00:36:14,420
Hi.

548
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:15,219
Nice to meet you.

549
00:36:15,219 --> 00:36:16,179
Grancis.

550
00:36:16,179 --> 00:36:17,380
We don't need to introduce,

551
00:36:18,019 --> 00:36:20,980
because that seems like a little bit overkill at this point.

552
00:36:21,619 --> 00:36:22,119
There.

553
00:36:24,019 --> 00:36:28,420
So Grancis and I, before I became your intern,

554
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:30,820
I was just like-

555
00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:31,619
We were homies.

556
00:36:31,619 --> 00:36:33,539
Working in the abyss.

557
00:36:33,539 --> 00:36:37,219
I wouldn't say we were homies, but-

558
00:36:37,219 --> 00:36:38,179
Side pieces.

559
00:36:38,179 --> 00:36:39,380
We were colleagues.

560
00:36:40,339 --> 00:36:42,900
We did dig together.

561
00:36:44,259 --> 00:36:45,779
We fucked is what I'm trying to say.

562
00:36:45,779 --> 00:36:46,339
We fucked.

563
00:36:46,339 --> 00:36:46,819
Fine.

564
00:36:46,819 --> 00:36:47,699
Everybody knows it.

565
00:36:49,699 --> 00:36:51,699
We got down and dirty in the underworld.

566
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:52,920
No.

567
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:56,099
No, I refuse.

568
00:36:56,099 --> 00:36:56,599
No.

569
00:36:57,139 --> 00:36:58,420
Kill me all you want.

570
00:36:59,139 --> 00:37:00,980
I am not Grancis' lover.

571
00:37:02,579 --> 00:37:06,739
In fact, you said lover sounds a lot worse than side pieces.

572
00:37:06,739 --> 00:37:10,099
Anyways, what I was trying to say is I don't know,

573
00:37:10,099 --> 00:37:13,059
but I'm here because they thought I was powerful.

574
00:37:13,619 --> 00:37:15,380
Well, I mean, you were at one time.

575
00:37:15,380 --> 00:37:16,179
Yeah.

576
00:37:16,179 --> 00:37:17,219
And you got out of here.

577
00:37:18,179 --> 00:37:19,940
I mean, you didn't take an internship.

578
00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:20,420
You-

579
00:37:20,420 --> 00:37:22,019
Oh, out of the abyss?

580
00:37:22,019 --> 00:37:22,339
Yeah.

581
00:37:22,339 --> 00:37:24,500
I heard that he was rescued.

582
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:28,339
I was rescued by a tiny goblin named Flamikinskins.

583
00:37:29,059 --> 00:37:32,019
You can hear those adventures at Patreon.com.

584
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:34,120
Wow.

585
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:37,780
An in-character.

586
00:37:37,780 --> 00:37:39,380
Mid-episode plug.

587
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:45,620
Anyways, I was powerful and I lost my book.

588
00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:48,420
You need a book to be powerful?

589
00:37:48,420 --> 00:37:49,700
Yeah, I'm a wizard.

590
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:51,700
When did you lose book?

591
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,100
Before I died the first time.

592
00:37:54,819 --> 00:37:57,299
I died, crashed.

593
00:37:57,299 --> 00:38:00,500
I crashed, landed a ship, saved everybody's life.

594
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:01,380
Right, Thea?

595
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:02,019
Right, Flint?

596
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:03,299
Yeah.

597
00:38:03,940 --> 00:38:04,440
Yeah.

598
00:38:04,980 --> 00:38:05,460
Yep.

599
00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:07,059
I trust that's correct.

600
00:38:07,059 --> 00:38:10,420
That power went down.

601
00:38:10,420 --> 00:38:12,339
And he makes one hell of a pancake.

602
00:38:12,339 --> 00:38:18,420
You did tell me that story like a hundred million times,

603
00:38:18,420 --> 00:38:19,860
so I believe it.

604
00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:21,139
Thea, make a perception check.

605
00:38:21,779 --> 00:38:22,019
Why?

606
00:38:22,019 --> 00:38:23,860
Because I can't actually remember when that happened.

607
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:27,460
Well, no, you can of course remember when that happened.

608
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:28,660
No, Amy can't.

609
00:38:28,660 --> 00:38:29,300
26.

610
00:38:30,019 --> 00:38:30,500
When he says...

611
00:38:31,860 --> 00:38:32,340
Right, Thea?

612
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:32,820
Right, Flint?

613
00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:35,220
You see him stop and hang on Flint for a moment.

614
00:38:36,740 --> 00:38:37,700
Then kind of shake it off.

615
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:45,140
Yeah, no, we were flying an airship and it crashed

616
00:38:45,140 --> 00:38:49,059
and then we were attacked by Gull to the Dragon.

617
00:38:49,059 --> 00:38:51,780
That seems like something that was probably happening at the time.

618
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,940
And then I used the electric power and summoned it

619
00:38:55,940 --> 00:39:00,340
and it vaporized my body, but saved you.

620
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:01,460
I mean, it was pretty cool.

621
00:39:02,260 --> 00:39:03,620
It was pretty cool.

622
00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:04,980
It was pretty cool.

623
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:07,940
That meal that he made though before we

624
00:39:09,460 --> 00:39:11,540
experienced all that was even better though, Flint.

625
00:39:11,540 --> 00:39:12,580
Oh, what was it?

626
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:15,700
I only remember making us pancakes, but that wasn't that.

627
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:19,700
Pancakes are fucking delicious.

628
00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:20,100
Okay.

629
00:39:21,060 --> 00:39:22,900
Anyway, glad you're here.

630
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:30,100
I mean, Vorunax was just freaking out that he was the only ally we had in this time period.

631
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,140
Oh, I'm an ally.

632
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:32,020
Yeah.

633
00:39:32,820 --> 00:39:33,780
A friend of everyone's.

634
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:35,060
Good.

635
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:38,740
Is your book findable in this time period?

636
00:39:38,740 --> 00:39:39,460
Just curious.

637
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:44,020
Because otherwise, you're what we call a liability.

638
00:39:44,020 --> 00:39:45,620
No, yeah, that's pretty cool.

639
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:48,900
Well, you've got your wand.

640
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:56,580
You have no real other landmarks to point at other than this tree right here.

641
00:39:56,580 --> 00:40:01,060
This tree looks like it may be grew since the last time I was here.

642
00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:04,420
So yeah, there's probably a book.

643
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:05,780
I mean, I'm dead right now.

644
00:40:06,340 --> 00:40:08,500
Maybe I'm down in the, am I down in the abyss?

645
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:11,700
Vorunax, can you find out if I'm down in the abyss?

646
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:15,380
Because if I'm down in the abyss, I'm dead, which means my book is somewhere.

647
00:40:15,380 --> 00:40:17,540
Did you guys pick up my book after I died?

648
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:18,660
There's kind of a lot going on.

649
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:20,899
No, they didn't pick up my book.

650
00:40:20,899 --> 00:40:22,420
Well, there was a lot going on.

651
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:23,619
You crashed a ship.

652
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:25,299
I did not crash a ship.

653
00:40:25,299 --> 00:40:27,539
You electrocuted everything.

654
00:40:27,539 --> 00:40:29,699
The cult of the dragon crashed the ship.

655
00:40:29,699 --> 00:40:32,500
You did a controlled landing.

656
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:33,539
I saved everybody.

657
00:40:34,579 --> 00:40:35,139
Also.

658
00:40:35,139 --> 00:40:36,259
Am I down in the abyss?

659
00:40:38,099 --> 00:40:40,500
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot down there.

660
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:44,739
There's an old wrinkly guy who goes, oh, oh boy.

661
00:40:44,739 --> 00:40:46,179
Yep, you're down there.

662
00:40:46,179 --> 00:40:47,299
Great, great, I'm dead.

663
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:48,820
You're upsetting the dog.

664
00:40:48,820 --> 00:40:50,740
Yep, the dog's got to poop.

665
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:52,100
I remember that.

666
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:53,620
Okay, I'm down in the abyss.

667
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:54,900
Means my book's somewhere.

668
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:55,700
We get my book.

669
00:40:57,060 --> 00:40:58,580
Step one, get my book.

670
00:40:58,580 --> 00:40:59,860
Step two, money.

671
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:01,300
Money?

672
00:41:02,820 --> 00:41:03,140
Okay.

673
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:05,140
Step three, save the world.

674
00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:08,660
You might actually need money to gather some forces.

675
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:10,500
That might not be a bad idea, actually.

676
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:13,380
Do you have a way to find a book?

677
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:15,300
It could be anywhere in the world.

678
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:16,500
Where are we?

679
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:18,260
I need to make a divining rod.

680
00:41:18,260 --> 00:41:19,699
You know, like a divining rod?

681
00:41:19,699 --> 00:41:21,059
Sure, to find water.

682
00:41:21,059 --> 00:41:25,940
Nighthunter just snaps a giant branch off of a tree and goes,

683
00:41:25,940 --> 00:41:26,500
this good?

684
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:28,420
Well, I can make this work.

685
00:41:29,219 --> 00:41:31,380
He begins walking off into the forest.

686
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:35,539
While he does that, I'm just going to cast Locate Object.

687
00:41:35,539 --> 00:41:36,039
Yes.

688
00:41:36,739 --> 00:41:38,900
I don't know if it's within range, though.

689
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:40,579
It's got to be within 1,000 feet of me.

690
00:41:40,579 --> 00:41:41,619
I doubt that's the case.

691
00:41:42,340 --> 00:41:44,179
That would be super convenient, wouldn't it?

692
00:41:44,179 --> 00:41:45,539
Wouldn't it be, yeah, right?

693
00:41:45,539 --> 00:41:47,059
Roll a D100 for us, Kyle.

694
00:41:47,059 --> 00:41:49,139
See if it's in that tree.

695
00:41:49,139 --> 00:41:51,380
Can we do a thing where it opens a map

696
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:55,619
and it'll like glow on it or something via Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

697
00:41:55,619 --> 00:41:56,119
Sure.

698
00:41:56,659 --> 00:41:59,300
We'll get out the Ouija board and it will spell us where it is.

699
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:00,900
No, you never work with a Ouija board.

700
00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:01,400
Sure.

701
00:42:03,619 --> 00:42:05,779
You're a second-in-command to Orcus.

702
00:42:06,579 --> 00:42:09,940
We'll grant a little bit of a wider net than the 1,000 feet.

703
00:42:10,980 --> 00:42:12,500
So you cast Locate Object.

704
00:42:13,380 --> 00:42:15,860
And yeah, does anybody have a map?

705
00:42:16,739 --> 00:42:17,300
I do.

706
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:18,019
Totally.

707
00:42:18,019 --> 00:42:19,059
I was ascribed.

708
00:42:19,059 --> 00:42:20,579
I have all sorts of papers.

709
00:42:20,579 --> 00:42:21,300
Great.

710
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:22,260
One of these is a map.

711
00:42:23,860 --> 00:42:25,059
You cast Locate Object.

712
00:42:25,059 --> 00:42:27,780
Your map begins to like, bzz, bzz.

713
00:42:27,780 --> 00:42:29,699
Oh, it's vibrating.

714
00:42:29,699 --> 00:42:30,980
And I'm like, just one sec.

715
00:42:32,099 --> 00:42:34,739
Your table for four is ready at the Cactus Club.

716
00:42:34,739 --> 00:42:36,579
Oh, wow, you went Dora the Explorer.

717
00:42:36,579 --> 00:42:37,860
I was going Vibrator.

718
00:42:37,860 --> 00:42:38,900
It was two different moves.

719
00:42:40,099 --> 00:42:41,539
Wow, this is very different.

720
00:42:42,579 --> 00:42:43,780
It's like backpack.

721
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:53,699
I'm not apologizing for anything.

722
00:42:53,699 --> 00:42:55,940
It's on the city of Greenest.

723
00:42:59,460 --> 00:43:05,219

We'll talk again soon.

742
00:44:10,820 --> 00:44:12,500
God, that's the exact fucking thing.

743
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:16,340
Usually I'm mind melding with Carla, but I'm...

744
00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:17,620
Without a word of a lie,

745
00:44:17,620 --> 00:44:20,580
it was a townsperson handing him freshly baked bread.

746
00:44:21,780 --> 00:44:23,700
And I'm sure I would have liked it if Tom did it too.

747
00:44:24,420 --> 00:44:25,780
But not as much though, right?

748
00:44:25,780 --> 00:44:26,500
Probably not as much.

749
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:27,140
It goes better with me.

750
00:44:28,820 --> 00:44:30,260
All Tom's would have been was just,

751
00:44:30,260 --> 00:44:31,059
you get some bread.

752
00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:34,900
No, I'm sure Tom is like crossing off like,

753
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:36,420
bread, flowers.

754
00:44:38,180 --> 00:44:39,300
He gave me some bread.

755
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:43,700
Oh my God, does he have Nularaaais' soul?

756
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,140
Sounds like it.

757
00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:47,460
I...

758
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:50,900
Amy has quit the podcast.

759
00:44:50,900 --> 00:44:51,400
Quit.

760
00:44:53,380 --> 00:44:55,140
I know where Nularaaais' soul is, do you?

761
00:44:56,820 --> 00:44:57,940
I put a tracker on it.

762
00:44:59,460 --> 00:45:00,660
Fucking knife, isn't it?

763
00:45:00,660 --> 00:45:01,220
I don't know.

764
00:45:01,220 --> 00:45:02,260
Where's that knife anyway?

765
00:45:02,980 --> 00:45:04,019
Leosin has it?

766
00:45:05,860 --> 00:45:06,500
Mystery.

767
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:12,019
