232 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,160 Because I feel that kind of clinical sleekness we've seen before. 233 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080 Hadn't thought of that, but I mean, maybe. 234 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,440 Arvid's been around, I'm sure. 235 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,120 I mean, we all know Arvid's been around. 236 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,360 Arvid's certainly been around. 237 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,560 So yeah, it's very much like more fancy doctor's waiting room 238 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,320 than Hodgepodge of Esoterica. 239 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,200 Love it. 240 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,600 We see Lipsinki and Vorunax standing behind 241 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:48,000 a short-robed, very clean-cut gnome. 242 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:58,639 She's very carefully mixing ingredients into a vial, 243 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,519 and she pauses for a moment, turns around, and says, 244 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:15,600 Vorunax, if I could be so kind as to, well, could I have a scale? 245 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,120 Certainly, if it helps us achieve what we need to, 246 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,399 and I just pull out a little dagger and just kind of nick one off, hand it over. 247 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Nope. 248 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,360 Does that hurt? 249 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,560 A little bit, but in comparison to recent events, not so much. 250 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:33,360 Of course, of course. 251 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,840 Well, maybe perhaps we will assist in that, 252 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,240 although you seem to be doing okay, no blood, okay, 253 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,480 as she turns around and puts it into a very small mortar and pestle and grinds it up 254 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:55,039 and adds it into the beaker, and it begins to bubble up to the brim 255 00:13:55,039 --> 00:14:00,560 and then settles back down in this iridescent orange color. 256 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:05,919 Well, we've got, we need to get you back to the abyss. 257 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,680 Correct. What have you done so far? What did you just do there? 258 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:20,720 Well, we've created a bit of a break between the barriers between our reality 259 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:31,840 and the reality of the abyss. We will use this to open a gateway, a doorway, if you will. 260 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,320 So, you will have to consume it. 261 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,560 I know that's a little bit auto cannibalistic at this point. 262 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,639 I should have told you that first, perhaps. 263 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680 But again, for the better good to get you back to where you need to go. 264 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:59,440 The only issue is, as you have perhaps not iterated yet, is where and where you're going. 265 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:07,760 Do we have a way to attune you, an item that lives, that comes from there? 266 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:18,320 Maybe. My arm is there, but I wouldn't want to appear where my arm is currently. 267 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,760 I don't think that would be wise. 268 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,760 The arm that you're missing. Yes, of course, yes. 269 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:31,120 Of course. There is a person I can think of that might be easiest to pinpoint, 270 00:15:32,879 --> 00:15:39,120 mainly because, as far as I know and as far as I've heard, there's an infinite amount of this 271 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:47,840 one person currently on Thanatos, and they're a very powerful wizard. 272 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:56,080 Really? What do you mean to say when you say infinite amount of a single person? 273 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Imagine, if you will, someone's timeline being fractured into an infinite amount of parts, 274 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,680 all of them being contained within one torturous cell for eternity. 275 00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,519 Save for one shard who's been out and about and doing their own thing, 276 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,440 but that's neither here nor there. 277 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:22,480 As far as I know, they all exist on the plane of Thanatos, so I've actually prepared 278 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:33,120 a spell where I can reach out to this person. It may drive me a little bit mad if things go 279 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,920 wrong, but perhaps that could create the connection to at least the one that I know of, 280 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,200 the one that I've encountered. 281 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,160 This is enlightening. Just a moment, I need to capture some of this. She turns around, 282 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:56,880 she begins scrolling into her notebook. She's on the last page of that notebook. 283 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:04,560 I'll get everything I can down about this. To fracture a being across different time streams, 284 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:11,679 that would create some sort of paradox in and upon itself. While that sounds like a torturous 285 00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:17,759 event, it actually sounds like it's containing something that could be very catastrophic. 286 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:24,000 It's true. It's very much a box of sorts that we don't really want to open the lid. 287 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,720 I feel the alternative at this point, knowing what I've been told from Lipsinki, 288 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,879 I'd be willing to take the gamble. 289 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,079 Lipsinki, I don't know how you feel about it. Do you think... 290 00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,000 I know Grancis is about as well as you do, I feel. 291 00:17:48,879 --> 00:17:51,839 I think it's actually probably a great idea because I know 292 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,599 in the future when you and I were together, sometimes we were making, I don't know, like 293 00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:10,000 10, 20 new Grancises a week. He was kind of everyone's favorite to torture. 294 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,799 It's really fun. 295 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:17,359 Which seems weird to say in front of you, so just maybe forget I said that. I came back 296 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,159 in time to save the world, so let's focus on that. 297 00:18:20,159 --> 00:18:21,439 Bygones be bygones. 298 00:18:21,439 --> 00:18:22,240 And also all... 299 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,719 The present. 300 00:18:22,719 --> 00:18:23,919 Yes. 301 00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:24,719 Yeah. 302 00:18:24,719 --> 00:18:28,000 We've all made choices. We've all done things. 303 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:29,440 Yes. 304 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,440 If we live to tell the tale, I will regale you with all of those types. 305 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,519 I can't wait to come back after we finish saving the world and find out 306 00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:39,519 kind of exactly what you're talking about. 307 00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:42,880 The epilogue on Hesses is going to be lengthy. 308 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,720 She has a tattoo that she really regrets. 309 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:56,720 Well, without that anchor or a way to peer in, this will get you there. 310 00:18:57,279 --> 00:18:57,839 Okay. 311 00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:02,000 As you have been there, you are an anchor in and of yourself, 312 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,360 but you have been many places in the abyss, so there's no exact location. 313 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:18,240 But if your spell that you have prepared works to perhaps view into or listen into, 314 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,079 we could be able to, for a brief moment, tap into that. 315 00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:30,240 Well, as far as I know, if things go well, then I will be able to mentally reach out to them 316 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,720 across planes for about a minute. 317 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,720 Do you think that would buy us time?
