1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,879
Well, hey there, just wanted to quickly jump in with all of us here off the top on this,

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:09,720
the final episode of season two, which is actually the final episode of season one,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000
because of the whole, you know, you're here.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,480
Cause timey wimey bullshit.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,480
Yeah.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Timey wimey bullshit.

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,480
Timey wimey bullshit.

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,140
But we want to thank you for being here for this finale.

9
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:23,140
Next week we record the Q&A for the end of the season, so make sure you send

10
00:00:23,140 --> 00:00:24,560
us your questions.

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,560
There's a link down in the description.

12
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,780
If you join us on Patreon, you can come to that and ask us your questions live

13
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:32,859
in the chat and maybe we can get you the safe thing.

14
00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:33,859
I don't know.

15
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:34,859
Technology.

16
00:00:34,859 --> 00:00:35,859
We can probably figure it out.

17
00:00:35,859 --> 00:00:38,859
Thanks for listening for so long.

18
00:00:38,859 --> 00:00:43,859
Smooth and perfect, so I can see why you've stuck with us for 9,000 episodes.

19
00:00:43,859 --> 00:00:48,980
Anyways, we'll get you to the episode, okay, bye.

20
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:51,520
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

21
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,980
And then almost like Scott Pilgrim kind of fight scene, like winds up and just

22
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:05,140
clocks him through, like a fist impales through his face and he blasts back and off of this

23
00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:07,579
chair that you have conveniently set him up on.

24
00:01:07,579 --> 00:01:10,100
Might have to repeat that exercise a few times.

25
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:11,460
I did what we said.

26
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:15,420
I released all the Grancis, see, see they're helping.

27
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:17,340
But I also did what we said.

28
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:20,219
And I let go some help.

29
00:01:22,219 --> 00:01:23,219
Oh.

30
00:01:23,219 --> 00:01:24,219
Oh.

31
00:01:24,219 --> 00:01:25,219
Right.

32
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:26,219
Oh yeah.

33
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:27,219
Oh.

34
00:01:27,459 --> 00:01:28,459
It's the god balls.

35
00:01:28,459 --> 00:01:29,459
Yeah.

36
00:01:29,459 --> 00:01:31,379
I'm ready for the god balls.

37
00:01:31,379 --> 00:01:36,620
I mean, I feel like Sully could give me the old double hand brace as I like step

38
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:38,260
up and try and go for it.

39
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:40,260
I love that.

40
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:44,180
Okay, just like we practiced.

41
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:52,659
Burning hands, hands ablaze reaches, connects with this spinning sphere of god orbs and

42
00:01:52,659 --> 00:01:54,219
is sucked inside.

43
00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:56,060
Oh no.

44
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:57,060
Oh guys.

45
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,859
I, I, this was his idea.

46
00:01:59,859 --> 00:02:01,540
You saw that the whole time.

47
00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:06,620
I am also going to hurl the Demogorgon through hell.

48
00:02:06,620 --> 00:02:07,620
Okay.

49
00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:08,620
So he's gone.

50
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:09,620
Cool.

51
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:10,620
He's gone.

52
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:11,620
There's no save?

53
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:12,620
No.

54
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:13,620
She just punches you into hell.

55
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:14,620
Deal with it.

56
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:15,620
Love it.

57
00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:16,620
Explosion.

58
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:17,620
Lights.

59
00:02:17,620 --> 00:02:22,659
Everything's swirling and Demogorgon comes back and is attacked by this onslaught

60
00:02:22,659 --> 00:02:26,860
of god powered mayhem.

61
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:28,660
There is nothing that is left from him.

62
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:35,180
He's like this, this, what's the, you know, like the creatures in Little Mermaid, the

63
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:38,780
seaweed creatures that everybody gets sucked down into.

64
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:40,020
That's what he looks like now.

65
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:41,420
Who wants to step on?

66
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:42,420
Could it be Rax?

67
00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:43,420
Yeah.

68
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:44,420
Rax has been quiet.

69
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:45,420
Oh, that's better.

70
00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:47,940
He just comes over and like pony stomps him.

71
00:02:47,940 --> 00:02:48,940
Just like.

72
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:49,940
With Pegasus wings.

73
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:50,940
Fuck you.

74
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:55,700
Everybody allows Rax through and just stomps down on top.

75
00:02:55,700 --> 00:03:08,100
All of a sudden, you are, you're all standing in this white room.

76
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:21,100
Thea, you look over and you see Flint's body lying on the ground, scaleless.

77
00:03:21,099 --> 00:03:34,340
But standing behind that body is this glowing aura of Flint as you knew him.

78
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:35,740
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

79
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:37,459
I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.

80
00:03:37,459 --> 00:03:38,459
He, him.

81
00:03:38,459 --> 00:03:41,019
Also with me today is Amy More.

82
00:03:41,019 --> 00:03:49,019
Yeah, she, her, playing Night Hunter, she, they, and Thea, she, her.

83
00:03:49,019 --> 00:03:50,419
Carla Max dead.

84
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:56,380
Me, she, her, playing Lipsinki Pipdigons, she, her, and Glim.

85
00:03:56,380 --> 00:03:57,380
Oh, fuck.

86
00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:58,380
Glim is her name.

87
00:03:58,380 --> 00:03:59,380
I'm playing Sully too.

88
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:00,380
Oh yeah, Amy.

89
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:01,380
You gotta remember everybody.

90
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:02,380
I know.

91
00:04:02,380 --> 00:04:03,380
Is that it?

92
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:04,380
Sorry, Carla.

93
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:05,380
No, don't.

94
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:06,380
Don't be sorry.

95
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:07,380
I would have been sad.

96
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:08,380
What if Sully just wasn't there because he didn't say his name at the beginning.

97
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:09,380
Right, and we didn't think about adding him into the story.

98
00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:10,380
That's how it works.

99
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:11,380
It would have been so tough.

100
00:04:11,380 --> 00:04:12,380
That's what happens with characters.

101
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:13,380
Also with us is Tom Laird.

102
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:14,380
Yeah, that's me.

103
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:15,380
He's Tom Laird.

104
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:16,379
Tom Laird.

105
00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:17,379
Tom Laird.

106
00:04:17,379 --> 00:04:18,379
Tom Laird.

107
00:04:18,379 --> 00:04:19,379
Tom Laird.

108
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:20,379
Yeah, that's me.

109
00:04:20,379 --> 00:04:21,379
He, him.

110
00:04:21,379 --> 00:04:24,019
I am playing Flint and Moot.

111
00:04:24,019 --> 00:04:25,759
Both of them also he, him.

112
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:27,339
And Kristen Flemmons.

113
00:04:27,339 --> 00:04:28,339
Hello.

114
00:04:28,339 --> 00:04:33,100
I am she, her, and I am playing Agath, Godloss, Cutho, Olavi, who is also she,

115
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,100
her, and her horse, Rex.

116
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:36,100
And Kyle Claset.

117
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:37,100
Yo, yo.

118
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:38,100
He, him.

119
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,139
Back playing Vorunax.

120
00:04:40,139 --> 00:04:41,139
Also he, him.

121
00:04:41,139 --> 00:04:42,139
I would have felt natural.

122
00:04:42,139 --> 00:04:43,139
It felt good.

123
00:04:43,139 --> 00:04:44,860
Everybody was part of the crew.

124
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:46,939
Yeah, we almost forgot Sully.

125
00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:47,939
Almost.

126
00:04:47,939 --> 00:04:48,939
Almost.

127
00:04:48,939 --> 00:04:49,939
He's so small.

128
00:04:49,939 --> 00:04:50,939
He's so small.

129
00:04:50,939 --> 00:04:51,939
Classic.

130
00:04:51,939 --> 00:04:52,939
He just fits in your pocket.

131
00:04:52,939 --> 00:04:54,660
Happy to have everybody here.

132
00:04:54,660 --> 00:05:00,459
We're going to play a lovely, lovely game where everybody is, you know, who knows what

133
00:05:00,459 --> 00:05:02,139
happens.

134
00:05:02,139 --> 00:05:03,139
Everybody's going to have a good time.

135
00:05:03,139 --> 00:05:06,139
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck's going to come out of my mouth.

136
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:07,139
I hate what he's saying right now.

137
00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:08,139
Yeah, I just.

138
00:05:08,139 --> 00:05:09,139
You're making me nervous now, Russ.

139
00:05:09,139 --> 00:05:14,779
That's not the energy I was thinking we'd be coming into this particular sesh with,

140
00:05:14,779 --> 00:05:15,779
but okay.

141
00:05:15,779 --> 00:05:16,779
Sorry.

142
00:05:16,779 --> 00:05:17,779
Like we just won, you guys.

143
00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:19,620
I know.

144
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:20,620
We'll see now.

145
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:21,620
I don't think we did.

146
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:26,420
Russ's sincere and sarcastic voices are so similar.

147
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:28,220
It's so hard to tell.

148
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:30,980
Guys, imagine living with this guy.

149
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:34,500
It's me half the time going, really?

150
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,540
Yeah.

151
00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:37,780
I'm being very sincere.

152
00:05:37,780 --> 00:05:40,780
I think it's going to be a lovely time.

153
00:05:41,780 --> 00:05:42,780
Sorry.

154
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:51,380
Do you know who's lovelier than the vibes Russ is giving off right now?

155
00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:52,380
Our patrons.

156
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:56,940
Hey, you can join us over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast, where you get access

157

to a whole other show.

158
00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:01,020
Tom runs that show.

159
00:06:01,020 --> 00:06:02,700
Tell us about it, Tom.

160
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:04,260
Sure do.

161
00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:12,259
There's a crazy cat that Russ plays and there's a quiet barbarian type that Amy plays and

162
00:06:12,259 --> 00:06:18,259
Carla plays a real fast monk and it's kick ass.

163
00:06:18,259 --> 00:06:21,539
And also when you join us, you get an episode dedicated to you.

164
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:25,740
Like today's patron, ALex Cicerdanos.

165
00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:26,740
Thanks ALex.

166
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:27,740
Thank you so much.

167
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:28,740
Cool.

168
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:29,740
Too cool, ALex.

169
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:30,740
We appreciate you.

170
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:40,220
Join us today at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast and now, fuck it, let's play.

171
00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:42,259
The pause was so fucking pregnant.

172
00:06:42,259 --> 00:06:49,740
It gives me time to like set up like a room, like noises and stuff in the room,

173
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,100
which there is none because it's a god room.

174
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:53,860
You're in a white room.

175
00:06:53,860 --> 00:06:55,300
There's no black curtains.

176
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:56,300
Damn it.

177
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:57,300
Yeah, I know.

178
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,020
I thought that's what the pause was for.

179
00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:02,379
You were working your way up to just like singing beautifully.

180
00:07:02,379 --> 00:07:07,100
Yeah, yeah, Eric Clapton, he won't come after us for that.

181
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,780
It'll be fine.

182
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:12,620
In a white room, in the center of this room, there is a basin.

183
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:16,740
Looks like there is a liquid inside of this basin from where you were standing,

184
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:22,900
where you were just projected into this room after having defeated Demogorgon.

185
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:28,900
You all look as if nothing had happened.

186
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:30,900
Your armor is pristine.

187
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,600
Your clothes appear pressed.

188
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,340
Some of you for the first time in more than a decade.

189
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:46,420
Thea, you're first to see as you look to Flint's body laying on the ground beside

190
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:59,100
you without the dragon scale that you had become very used to see.

191
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:08,259
Standing or floating, rather, over Flint's body is the astral projection or the aura

192
00:08:08,259 --> 00:08:16,020
projection of Flint.

193
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:20,300
You really had to go fucking die, didn't you?

194
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:24,420
What wasn't really my call.

195
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:27,140
What happened?

196
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:31,220
I wasn't like behind the wheel for a little while there.

197
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:32,220
Why not?

198
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,940
Yeah, I don't really know.

199
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:42,180
I fought my entire way back and I just couldn't get there.

200
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:44,340
I tried.

201
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:45,740
You got to believe me.

202
00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:51,899
I know this isn't a really fair thing to say because you're dead and all, but you

203
00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:55,720
were the strongest person I know.

204
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,139
Why couldn't you come back?

205
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:05,180
I think it was too long with the dragon scales and Bort, it was just, it got

206
00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:08,540
to be too much.

207
00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:11,780
I'm sorry we couldn't help you.

208
00:09:12,699 --> 00:09:14,419
I mean, you tried.

209
00:09:14,419 --> 00:09:16,379
That's all the counts.

210
00:09:16,379 --> 00:09:18,059
Just that you made the effort.

211
00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:31,779
It doesn't really feel like we tried hard enough and now, now what?

212
00:09:31,779 --> 00:09:36,579
I mean, same thing that you did when New Laura didn't make it.

213
00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:38,579
You just keep going.

214
00:09:38,579 --> 00:09:39,579
Yeah.

215
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:40,579
Yeah.

216
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:42,580
Alone.

217
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:43,580
You got this.

218
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:44,580
I don't.

219
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:47,580
I'm all alone.

220
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:49,580
But you're not.

221
00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:53,580
There's all these people here with you.

222
00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:56,580
It's not the same.

223
00:09:56,580 --> 00:10:00,580
Doesn't mean it won't be good though.

224
00:10:00,580 --> 00:10:02,580
I have no direction.

225
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:05,580
I don't know what is coming next.

226
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:08,580
I don't know what to do.

227
00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:11,580
Flint, please tell me what to do.

228
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:16,580
I mean, lots of people could learn a lot from you.

229
00:10:16,580 --> 00:10:19,580
Maybe start up a school.

230
00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:23,580
Oh my god, could you imagine?

231
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:25,580
I mean, I can.

232
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:27,580
People would love to come.

233
00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:30,580
They come from all around.

234
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:33,580
To see the lucky one?

235
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:37,580
The one who just didn't happen to die?

236
00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:39,580
No.

237
00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:42,580
To see the one who made it.

238
00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:45,580
The one who endured.

239
00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:49,580
The one who brought it every time.

240
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:53,580
That's who they come to see.

241
00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:54,580
I'm not gonna lie.

242
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:57,580
It doesn't feel like winning right now.

243
00:10:57,580 --> 00:10:59,580
It probably won't for a while.

244
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:03,580
It feels like I pretty much fucking lost everything, Flint.

245
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:04,580
Yeah.

246
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:05,580
Yeah.

247
00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:10,580
Yeah, you're gonna have to feel that for a bit.

248
00:11:10,580 --> 00:11:14,580
But you got this.

249
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:16,580
What's next for you?

250
00:11:16,580 --> 00:11:20,580
Probably go have a pint with New Laura.

251
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:24,580
Oh.

252
00:11:24,580 --> 00:11:27,580
Tell her I said hi.

253
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:40,580
There is a subtle crack.

254
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:43,580
A noise of a...

255
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:47,580
It sounds like a window opening.

256
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:52,580
And the wall to your right

257
00:11:52,580 --> 00:11:57,580
opens onto the scene of Water Deer.

258
00:11:57,580 --> 00:12:03,580
Where the demons are still pouring through.

259
00:12:03,580 --> 00:12:05,580
They're scattered.

260
00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:06,580
They're hectic.

261
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:08,580
They're climbing the walls.

262
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:09,580
They're being fought back.

263
00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:20,580
All of the demon creatures being ridden by these multiple Grancis from other dimensions and other timelines

264
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:23,580
are doing their best.

265
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:29,580
Flint, you have in your hand

266
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:35,580
your cracked axe.

267
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:40,580
You see this playing out before you.

268
00:12:40,580 --> 00:12:44,580
What do you do?

269
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:50,580
He throws like the subtlest of winks at Thea.

270
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:55,580
And he turns to face like the incoming demon horde.

271
00:12:55,580 --> 00:13:00,580
And he grabs that cracked axe and he puts both hands on it.

272
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:04,580
And he just kinda like closes his eyes.

273
00:13:04,580 --> 00:13:08,580
And waits just like a half a beat too long you think.

274
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:11,580
Like everything's just about on him.

275
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:18,580
And then you just see like this streak of white light that like bounces around the room.

276
00:13:18,580 --> 00:13:24,580
Once it hits, I mean most of the demons that are coming

277
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:32,580
kind of pauses for a half second and then blinks out of existence.

278
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:39,580
It happens incredibly fast.

279
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:49,580
You're all so focused on the energy that Flint is putting out and you turn back to look at him.

280
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:55,580
It's like he's slowly fading away.

281
00:13:55,580 --> 00:14:00,580
Had to show off one last time, hey?

282
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:04,580
And he's gone.

283
00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:10,580
The scene down by Waterdeep is quieter.

284
00:14:10,580 --> 00:14:15,580
Demons are still coming through.

285
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:20,580
You're running in through the trees and you hear

286
00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:28,580
the forces of Waterdeep lowering the gates and rushing out to meet them.

287
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:36,580
And the scene before you begins to fade back as this window into the material plane begins to close.

288
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:40,580
You're all standing in this quiet room.

289
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:44,580
You hear rustling sound from inside your bag.

290
00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:49,580
And Donnie climbs out and up your back and onto your shoulder.

291
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:54,580
Doesn't say anything, just rests his head on yours.

292
00:14:54,580 --> 00:15:00,580
And at that moment, Flamikins comes up and grabs your hand, Thea.

293
00:15:00,580 --> 00:15:11,580
Thea doesn't look at her, but squeezes her hand.

294
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:17,580
It's a long moment.

295
00:15:17,580 --> 00:15:24,580
And the sound of a door opens.

296
00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:27,580
Which makes you all jump.

297
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:39,580
You turn and behind you, you see what looks like Leosin enter the room.

298
00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:43,580
He bustles in, closes the door.

299
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:49,580
He kind of looks at you, mouth open.

300
00:15:49,580 --> 00:15:52,580
Hi.

301
00:15:52,580 --> 00:15:55,580
Got a will on you?

302
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:59,580
Oh.

303
00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:01,580
That was a joke.

304
00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:03,580
Yeah, I've got the paperwork.

305
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:13,580
Is all of that your handiwork, I guess?

306
00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:16,580
Team effort, as always.

307
00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:19,580
I don't want to string along.

308
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:22,580
I'm not actually Leosin.

309
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:24,580
I just look like him.

310
00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:26,580
I'm so glad. I was so confused.

311
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:30,580
Has Leosin always been able to just come into sort of this god waiting room?

312
00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:33,580
I mean, that would have been cool.

313
00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:34,580
Yeah, no, that would have been cool.

314
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:37,580
It seemed like something he could do, probably.

315
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,580
He's very in tune, but no, just a comfortable face.

316
00:16:40,580 --> 00:16:47,580
A way to put a body to a lot of the power that was floating around amongst you all.

317
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:56,580
No, I am the embodiment of all of the gods now.

318
00:16:56,580 --> 00:17:06,579
But you can call me Leosin because that's probably more comfortable than looking into everything, everything, everywhere all at once.

319
00:17:06,579 --> 00:17:09,579
So if you have the power of all the gods.

320
00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:11,579
Yeah.

321
00:17:11,579 --> 00:17:21,579
And then Thea looks down at Flint and back at you.

322
00:17:21,579 --> 00:17:26,579
That is a big question.

323
00:17:26,579 --> 00:17:31,579
Does one bring back?

324
00:17:31,579 --> 00:17:35,579
One.

325
00:17:35,579 --> 00:17:37,579
Could I bring him back?

326
00:17:37,579 --> 00:17:42,579
Yes.

327
00:17:42,579 --> 00:17:46,579
Does he want to be brought back?

328
00:17:46,579 --> 00:17:50,579
Well, I don't know. I didn't even know it was an option. I would have asked him.

329
00:17:50,579 --> 00:17:58,579
If, if you bring somebody back, they are not the same.

330
00:17:58,579 --> 00:18:02,579
The vessel is the same. The body is the same.

331
00:18:02,579 --> 00:18:09,579
The spirit begins to intermingle with the energy of the world.

332
00:18:09,579 --> 00:18:15,579
They don't come back the same person that they once were.

333
00:18:15,579 --> 00:18:20,579
They might look like Flint. They might act somewhat like Flint.

334
00:18:20,579 --> 00:18:28,579
But as you have been dealing with an imposter inside of Flint's body.

335
00:18:28,579 --> 00:18:35,579
I couldn't, I couldn't do that to Flint again.

336
00:18:35,579 --> 00:18:40,579
Never mind.

337
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:43,579
And she starts to loot his body.

338
00:18:43,579 --> 00:18:45,579
Just kidding. To break a little tension.

339
00:18:45,579 --> 00:18:46,579
He would have wanted it.

340
00:18:46,579 --> 00:18:48,579
That's what he would have wanted.

341
00:18:48,579 --> 00:18:52,579
You notice all of the pockets are empty and you see Flamekin's pockets are very full.

342
00:18:52,579 --> 00:18:55,579
Fucking bitch.

343
00:18:55,579 --> 00:18:58,579
You were talking there for a long moment.

344
00:18:58,579 --> 00:19:05,579
And when she came and held your hand, she, she actually pickpocketed you as well.

345
00:19:05,579 --> 00:19:13,579
You've all traversed not only a great distance, but a great amount of time.

346
00:19:13,579 --> 00:19:19,579
Overcome what nobody has before.

347
00:19:19,579 --> 00:19:28,579
It directs you towards the basin where you see lines like light swirling through it.

348
00:19:28,579 --> 00:19:40,579
Different sporadic directions, spirals, some going straight through.

349
00:19:40,579 --> 00:19:45,579
These are as probably shouldn't come as a surprise to you.

350
00:19:45,579 --> 00:19:51,579
These are time streams.

351
00:19:51,579 --> 00:19:54,579
Different versions of the existence that you are living in.

352
00:19:54,579 --> 00:20:03,579
And based on the fact that you have seen, I can't remember the exact number that we said, thousands, millions of Grandsises.

353
00:20:03,579 --> 00:20:07,579
This goes on again and again and again and again.

354
00:20:07,579 --> 00:20:21,579
And every time something like this happens, not you succeeding, but a version of Orcus taking over and destroying the world.

355
00:20:22,579 --> 00:20:24,579
You've stopped that.

356
00:20:24,579 --> 00:20:26,579
That's this line here.

357
00:20:26,579 --> 00:20:28,579
He points his finger down.

358
00:20:28,579 --> 00:20:35,579
You see this one, what looks like it's almost like the edge of a key.

359
00:20:35,579 --> 00:20:41,579
And then it straightens out at the end.

360
00:20:41,579 --> 00:20:47,579
He kind of like zooms in on it like Minority Report style.

361
00:20:48,579 --> 00:20:55,579
It's continuing unhindered.

362
00:20:55,579 --> 00:21:06,579
You all, despite having lost every known God in a very short amount of time.

363
00:21:06,579 --> 00:21:17,579
And the reason that I can stand here is that because you accelerated Orcus's plan so quickly,

364
00:21:17,579 --> 00:21:26,579
it didn't take as well as he wanted, which is how you were able to harness that power.

365
00:21:26,579 --> 00:21:30,579
I have it back, but I cannot hold it.

366
00:21:30,579 --> 00:21:35,579
How one entity should hold all of this power.

367
00:21:38,579 --> 00:21:49,579
The corporeal forms of the gods, Stiglim, Bahamut, Pelor, and Eldath.

368
00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:56,579
The form is lost, but the energy still exists.

369
00:21:56,579 --> 00:22:01,579
Now, that energy can be transferred.

370
00:22:01,579 --> 00:22:07,579
Not anywhere, but to someone devout, someone who is worthy.

371
00:22:10,579 --> 00:22:14,579
The question is, when?

372
00:22:14,579 --> 00:22:21,579
With all that you've seen and all that you've done, what is it that you want?

373
00:22:21,579 --> 00:22:28,579
It's like he's looking at each of you individually as they say that.

374
00:22:28,579 --> 00:22:39,579
For instance, you, Vorunax, Lipsinki, your path was to...

375
00:22:39,579 --> 00:22:42,579
points down to the basin.

376
00:22:42,579 --> 00:22:48,579
Your path was to aid Orcus, and you did, successfully.

377
00:22:48,579 --> 00:22:50,579
Lipsinki, you've seen it.

378
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:58,579
Yes, we were quite successful, and I feel actually so bad about that now,

379
00:22:58,579 --> 00:23:02,579
which is one of the downsides of this whole good thing.

380
00:23:02,579 --> 00:23:04,579
Yeah, that's growth right there.

381
00:23:04,579 --> 00:23:10,579
Yeah, there's a lot of just terrible guilt.

382
00:23:10,579 --> 00:23:17,579
Part of me thinks a lot of this came to be

383
00:23:17,579 --> 00:23:21,579
because of the existence of gods in general.

384
00:23:21,579 --> 00:23:27,579
Good, bad, neither here nor there.

385
00:23:27,579 --> 00:23:33,579
Now, I am one voice, but disperse the power amongst the planet,

386
00:23:33,579 --> 00:23:37,579
a node for each individual on it, but the power in the people,

387
00:23:37,579 --> 00:23:42,579
and the gods no longer exist.

388
00:23:42,579 --> 00:23:46,579
We'd be done with you, move forward without you.

389
00:23:46,579 --> 00:23:52,579
We could form a new world on our own power.

390
00:23:52,579 --> 00:23:59,579
But as you said, there are people who are more devout than myself, obviously,

391
00:23:59,579 --> 00:24:03,579
and I feel like that's too much for one person to ask.

392
00:24:03,579 --> 00:24:10,579
I only ask that I never forget what the other version has done

393
00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:15,579
so that I can continue to do what I can to make up for it.

394
00:24:15,579 --> 00:24:41,579
Yeah, that's exactly...I need to go do good everywhere,

395
00:24:41,579 --> 00:24:44,579
and not just the fun part like the killing bad people,

396
00:24:44,579 --> 00:24:51,579
but like actually do good in small and big ways to try to...

397
00:24:51,579 --> 00:24:55,579
I mean, I could never make up for the terrible things I've done

398
00:24:55,579 --> 00:25:01,579
or have yet to do, but I want to try.

399
00:25:01,579 --> 00:25:03,579
You could do those things together.

400
00:25:03,579 --> 00:25:07,579
Oh, I assumed that I was...I mean, you're my best friend.

401
00:25:07,579 --> 00:25:09,579
I assume we are staying together. Is that not...

402
00:25:09,579 --> 00:25:10,579
Right.

403
00:25:10,579 --> 00:25:11,579
I meant to clarify that.

404
00:25:11,579 --> 00:25:14,579
Vorunax, we're going to stay together and be a team still, right?

405
00:25:14,579 --> 00:25:18,579
Oh, yeah. If you would.

406
00:25:18,579 --> 00:25:20,579
I wouldn't have it any other way.

407
00:25:20,579 --> 00:25:25,579
Fantastic. And if we need to spend some time in your quaint little village,

408
00:25:25,579 --> 00:25:26,579
I would quite enjoy that.

409
00:25:26,579 --> 00:25:31,579
Get back to some of those pre-bad time Blackpool vibes.

410
00:25:31,579 --> 00:25:35,579
Be a best way to put it, I think.

411
00:25:36,579 --> 00:25:46,579
Despite all that you have done, you've had a true heart.

412
00:25:46,579 --> 00:25:50,579
It faltered in the direction that it needed to go,

413
00:25:50,579 --> 00:25:53,579
but you found your way back.

414
00:25:53,579 --> 00:25:55,579
They look down at the basin.

415
00:25:55,579 --> 00:26:05,579
There are ways in which these other timelines,

416
00:26:05,579 --> 00:26:13,579
these other worlds find their way into yours.

417
00:26:13,579 --> 00:26:22,579
One of you holds on you a certain power that could protect this timeline

418
00:26:22,579 --> 00:26:25,579
and possibly correct others.

419
00:26:25,579 --> 00:26:28,579
Oh my god, it's Grancis, isn't it?

420
00:26:28,579 --> 00:26:30,579
What?

421
00:26:30,579 --> 00:26:34,579
No, no, no, no, it can't be me. I'm not the one who's...

422
00:26:34,579 --> 00:26:37,579
No, it's not Grancis.

423
00:26:37,579 --> 00:26:45,579
Grancis, his piece in this puzzle has already happened.

424
00:26:45,579 --> 00:27:00,579
He had the power to withstand endless torture, endless berating, endless zingers and one-liners.

425
00:27:00,579 --> 00:27:01,579
They're good at those.

426
00:27:01,579 --> 00:27:08,579
Take the brunt of every joke and live long enough

427
00:27:08,579 --> 00:27:16,579
and enough times to be a turning factor and a turning point in this.

428
00:27:16,579 --> 00:27:25,579
And he ushers his hand and the window opens and there is a scene before you of water deep and beyond

429
00:27:25,579 --> 00:27:30,579
and a scene of cleanup.

430
00:27:30,579 --> 00:27:35,579
What demons are left are being scattered and defeated.

431
00:27:36,579 --> 00:27:46,579
He will be put back in his appropriate timelines again and again and again.

432
00:27:46,579 --> 00:27:54,579
But no, he points to Thea.

433
00:27:54,579 --> 00:28:00,579
You hold the piece of the puzzle.

434
00:28:00,579 --> 00:28:03,579
I hold the piece of the puzzle?

435
00:28:03,579 --> 00:28:04,579
Are you still holding Flamekin's hand?

436
00:28:04,579 --> 00:28:06,579
Oh, this is...

437
00:28:06,579 --> 00:28:07,579
Oh my God.

438
00:28:07,579 --> 00:28:12,579
Is this this bullshit where it's like it's been within you all along?

439
00:28:12,579 --> 00:28:16,579
Because that's really frustrating at the end of a real arduous...

440
00:28:16,579 --> 00:28:23,579
Yeah, no, it hasn't been within you all along, but it has come along with you for quite some time.

441
00:28:23,579 --> 00:28:29,579
Each of you and your friends has held it at one point.

442
00:28:29,579 --> 00:28:34,579
When I say friends, I don't mean everybody in this room.

443
00:28:34,579 --> 00:28:43,579
It's been an anchor and a weight upon so many of you.

444
00:28:43,579 --> 00:28:47,579
I don't know the form that it has taken for you specifically.

445
00:28:47,579 --> 00:28:54,579
Thea reaches into her belt and pulls out the dagger.

446
00:28:54,579 --> 00:28:57,579
This fucking thing?

447
00:28:57,579 --> 00:29:03,579
That fucking thing, yes.

448
00:29:03,579 --> 00:29:12,579
It appears to hold a power of influence and sway over those who hold it.

449
00:29:12,579 --> 00:29:23,579
It also contains the soul and the power of everyone who has held it and who has had their life taken from it.

450
00:29:23,579 --> 00:29:30,579
And it's been around since, in some form or another, since the dawn of time.

451
00:29:30,579 --> 00:29:32,579
Fun.

452
00:29:32,579 --> 00:29:36,579
How is this going to protect this world?

453
00:29:36,579 --> 00:29:38,579
Because this thing has caused nothing but trouble.

454
00:29:38,579 --> 00:29:43,579
The fact that I still have it is mind-boggling.

455
00:29:43,579 --> 00:29:49,579
You have tried to use it and your friends before you have tried to use it.

456
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:57,579
But the way you tried to use it was not as intended.

457
00:29:57,579 --> 00:30:00,579
He ushers his hand back to the basin.

458
00:30:00,579 --> 00:30:04,579
Endless, seemingly endless different time streams.

459
00:30:04,579 --> 00:30:07,579
Looping and moving and spiraling.

460
00:30:07,579 --> 00:30:26,579
To protect your timeline and to release the hold that has fallen upon others, that has the power to do that.

461
00:30:26,579 --> 00:30:34,579
If you release that power into this basin, that will protect this time.

462
00:30:34,579 --> 00:30:38,579
And perhaps even save the time in which you came.

463
00:30:38,579 --> 00:30:49,579
Thea steps forward with the knife, holding it very by the end, precarious.

464
00:30:49,579 --> 00:30:53,579
You don't want to grip this thing full on.

465
00:30:53,579 --> 00:31:00,579
And gestures like, do I put it in the basin?

466
00:31:00,579 --> 00:31:03,579
The figure before you gestures.

467
00:31:03,579 --> 00:31:09,579
Thea walks over and gently places the dagger in the basin.

468
00:31:09,579 --> 00:31:17,579
As you place the dagger in the basin, the surface of it ripples out.

469
00:31:17,579 --> 00:31:25,579
And all of these time streams careen off of each other.

470
00:31:25,579 --> 00:31:34,579
And there's this wash of light that comes from the base of it as it sinks down to the bottom.

471
00:31:34,579 --> 00:31:45,579
And it erupts with this light that shoots up to the ceiling and through whatever physical space you can see and beyond.

472
00:31:45,579 --> 00:31:53,579
The room is blindingly covered by this light and after a moment it begins to die back down.

473
00:31:53,579 --> 00:32:16,579
And you look down into the basin and you see that a lot of these streams have corrected within the vicinity of the time stream that you exist in.

474
00:32:16,579 --> 00:32:22,579
There are still some spiraling around the edge, seemingly out of control.

475
00:32:22,579 --> 00:32:34,579
And you look down at the bottom and in the basin and the red eyes that had so frequently glowed on it fade to a black.

476
00:32:34,579 --> 00:32:38,579
And it fades from view inside of this basin.

477
00:32:38,579 --> 00:32:47,579
So there are versions of us in these other worlds who never had to fight now?

478
00:32:47,579 --> 00:32:53,579
Who were never veered off the path they were on before?

479
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:59,580
Yeah, yeah.

480
00:32:59,580 --> 00:33:01,580
They had to fight at one point.

481
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:08,580
Or if we'd caught the timeline in its path, they would have not ever had to fight.

482
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:13,580
Others, they had to fight once.

483
00:33:13,580 --> 00:33:18,580
They point to a few of them and they glow as they do so.

484
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:24,580
Others like these, they glow a slightly different color.

485
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:33,580
They have fought and lost and now get another chance.

486
00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:38,580
And how are you holding all these gods within you now?

487
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:47,580
Do they not clash and try to rend you apart?

488
00:33:47,580 --> 00:33:52,580
To put it bluntly, yes.

489
00:33:52,580 --> 00:34:00,580
There are fractures already building inside of this form

490
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:06,580
that require all of these powers to go back.

491
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:12,579
Not to the forms that they once were, but to a new form to

492
00:34:12,579 --> 00:34:21,579
create and disperse their energies back into the worlds that they served.

493
00:34:21,579 --> 00:34:24,579
To your world down here.

494
00:34:24,579 --> 00:34:32,579
And to, he ushers to one time stream that is slightly off-colored,

495
00:34:32,579 --> 00:34:35,579
to your home.

496
00:34:35,579 --> 00:34:45,579
You said that those devout enough could channel their powers, become them.

497
00:34:45,579 --> 00:34:49,579
But Eldath was a pacifist.

498
00:34:49,579 --> 00:34:54,579
Eldath never raised a hand to anyone.

499
00:34:54,579 --> 00:34:57,579
I cannot channel her.

500
00:34:57,579 --> 00:35:01,579
I have strayed too far.

501
00:35:01,579 --> 00:35:06,579
I am a corruption of what she wanted.

502
00:35:06,579 --> 00:35:14,579
Is every pacifist a pacifist from the day they're born?

503
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:26,579
Do we as people who exist in a space, as entities, as beings, who exist together,

504
00:35:26,579 --> 00:35:29,579
are we perfect?

505
00:35:29,579 --> 00:35:31,579
Always.

506
00:35:31,579 --> 00:35:34,579
I see what you say.

507
00:35:34,579 --> 00:35:44,579
But if we had taken Eldath's path, Orcus would face no opposition.

508
00:35:44,579 --> 00:35:47,579
I cannot return to it.

509
00:35:47,579 --> 00:35:51,579
Understood.

510
00:35:51,579 --> 00:35:56,579
What is the path that you choose?

511
00:35:56,579 --> 00:36:00,579
I did not think there would be a choice.

512
00:36:00,579 --> 00:36:05,579
I thought this was a one-way path.

513
00:36:05,579 --> 00:36:13,579
Agath, if you want to be really funny, like take Bahamut, you're going to drive Glam nuts.

514
00:36:13,579 --> 00:36:17,579
If you just dibs Bahamut or something.

515
00:36:17,579 --> 00:36:23,579
I feel like Agath wasn't drinking anything, but if she had just shot out her nose.

516
00:36:23,579 --> 00:36:28,579
Imagine how pissed she'd be.

517
00:36:28,579 --> 00:36:31,579
Glam, I'm kidding. I'm joking.

518
00:36:31,579 --> 00:36:35,579
I actually think that's kind of an amazing idea.

519
00:36:35,579 --> 00:36:37,579
I don't want to be Bahamut.

520
00:36:37,579 --> 00:36:42,579
And honestly, I've learned some things about Bahamut recently that were not great.

521
00:36:42,579 --> 00:36:51,579
Whereas Agath, rules start to finish, super brave, righteous, has a kick-ass horse.

522
00:36:51,579 --> 00:36:54,579
I mean, there's a lot of qualities there.

523
00:36:54,579 --> 00:36:57,579
There's a lot of really A-class talk.

524
00:36:57,579 --> 00:36:59,579
Should Rax be Bahamut?

525
00:36:59,579 --> 00:37:03,579
Should Rax be Bahamut?

526
00:37:03,579 --> 00:37:16,579
He doesn't really have the chill vibes that Bahamut brought, but he's probably not making secret deals with, you know, evildoers.

527
00:37:16,579 --> 00:37:19,579
So, he is a terrible negotiator.

528
00:37:19,579 --> 00:37:25,579
Let me help, or hinder, or just make things more confusing.

529
00:37:25,579 --> 00:37:34,579
The path of which you've known your deities to take is not the path that they always took.

530
00:37:34,579 --> 00:37:41,579
These are not the first forms these energies have held in themselves.

531
00:37:41,579 --> 00:37:48,579
They have altered and changed the way they interact with the world.

532
00:37:48,579 --> 00:38:02,579
Over time, holding a trueness to the nature of themselves to keep some semblance of bAlydince between good and evil and life and death.

533
00:38:02,579 --> 00:38:14,579
Not inherently that life equals good and death equals evil, because we've seen alterations of both.

534
00:38:14,579 --> 00:38:25,579
Wait a minute, hold on. Are you saying that over time, the gods' energies are changing and adapting and kind of learning,

535
00:38:25,579 --> 00:38:38,579
and now they are essentially becoming like humans who can be corrupted and make bad choices and shit like that, because that doesn't seem godlike to me.

536
00:38:38,579 --> 00:38:39,579
Agreed.

537
00:38:39,579 --> 00:38:43,579
That just kind of seems like regular person shit.

538
00:38:43,579 --> 00:38:51,579
I mean, shoot, can I swear? It's a god. You've heard all the swears. I bet you maybe made the swears. I don't know.

539
00:38:51,579 --> 00:38:58,579
Well, I'd like to just go back to maybe what Varnock said earlier, because I don't know about this concentrated power.

540
00:38:58,579 --> 00:39:07,579
I know from personal experience, a little bit of power can make an individual go a little bit power mad.

541
00:39:07,579 --> 00:39:16,579
So what about this dispersal to all creatures, steal everything in bAlydince, because it's all of the, but, you know,

542
00:39:16,579 --> 00:39:24,579
without imbuing the god powers to certain individuals to just go ahead and mess it up in the future.

543
00:39:24,579 --> 00:39:35,579
What if the god power was put back into the earth to help fix the death and destruction that Orcus caused?

544
00:39:35,579 --> 00:39:37,579
Oh, that would be good.

545
00:39:37,579 --> 00:39:38,579
Thea?

546
00:39:38,579 --> 00:39:39,579
Oh yeah, heal our planet.

547
00:39:39,579 --> 00:39:42,579
Thea, that is a fantastic idea.

548
00:39:42,579 --> 00:39:43,579
Yeah.

549
00:39:43,579 --> 00:39:54,579
The land is the thing keeping us all, I mean, we need that more than anything. It needs to be healed. It needs to regrow.

550
00:39:54,579 --> 00:40:05,579
I like this too, no human or elf or orc or whatever interference, just nature.

551
00:40:05,579 --> 00:40:07,579
Is this possible?

552
00:40:07,579 --> 00:40:21,579
The figure before you pauses for a moment. Yes, that would be possible.

553
00:40:21,579 --> 00:40:43,579
Is that what you all wish for? To see the end of gods, to see the end of deity and to have the energy placed in the material realm.

554
00:40:43,579 --> 00:40:52,579
I mean, when you say the end of deities, like that's not what we set out to do, but yeah, I kind of think so.

555
00:40:52,579 --> 00:41:04,579
Yeah, I mean, all that, not the end of them, just the good and the bad and the in-betweeny all sort of distributed in an even fine mist over everything, not concentrated.

556
00:41:04,579 --> 00:41:13,579
And perhaps not only Faerun, but other realms as well.

557
00:41:13,579 --> 00:41:22,579
Not just the material plane, right? I mean, don't all the planes have, you have all the gods inside of this Leosan package, right?

558
00:41:23,579 --> 00:41:33,579
We also have something to lose through this plan. Without them, certain abilities and spells and incantations will no longer take form.

559
00:41:33,579 --> 00:41:41,579
God knows removing the goddess of magic, what that would do to the weave and its existence within the world.

560
00:41:41,579 --> 00:41:45,579
But maybe that fine dust just like keeps it all going?

561
00:41:45,579 --> 00:41:59,579
Just keeps it going a little bit. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm more invested in the idea of a god than almost anyone that exists, but I do see how it didn't work out great.

562
00:41:59,579 --> 00:42:10,579
So if all the elements are there spread over everything, does the cumulant effect of them keep it, keep everything working the way it should?

563
00:42:10,579 --> 00:42:23,579
As a druid who draws power from the earth itself, is it not its own body of magic as well?

564
00:42:23,579 --> 00:42:36,579
I think regardless of the answer, which I certainly can't say for sure, it's a sacrifice that I am willing to make. If this is the route we want to go.

565
00:42:36,579 --> 00:42:39,579
I would give up my magic.

566
00:42:39,579 --> 00:42:44,579
Oh, yeah, me too. Absolutely. Yeah.

567
00:42:44,579 --> 00:42:50,579
Full disclosure, I'm not sure if I can with that deal I made, but like I'll look into that.

568
00:42:50,579 --> 00:43:03,579
Outside of the realms and worlds of deities, there are greater powers beyond even many of the deities' understanding.

569
00:43:03,579 --> 00:43:11,579
They look at moot. Give a little wink.

570
00:43:11,579 --> 00:43:23,579
Dispersing the power of the gods as noble a cause as it is to give up the magic that you have known.

571
00:43:23,579 --> 00:43:29,579
It speaks to your character, first of all. I don't believe you will lose the ability.

572
00:43:29,579 --> 00:43:34,579
I think it will take you some time to reharness the ability.

573
00:43:34,579 --> 00:43:40,579
The energy does not leave. The energy still exists.

574
00:43:40,579 --> 00:43:51,579
The thing to consider, perhaps for yourselves and future generations, is the fact that the energy still exists.

575
00:43:51,579 --> 00:44:03,579
Keeping the worlds and the planes moving and churning in the time streams, working in and of themselves means the power is still there.

576
00:44:03,579 --> 00:44:13,579
And as once gods were unknown, people find a way.

577
00:44:13,579 --> 00:44:17,579
So you think there will be a rediscovery of sorts?

578
00:44:17,579 --> 00:44:21,579
It is possible.

579
00:44:21,579 --> 00:44:31,579
The possibility of a rediscovery versus the idea of handing these powers and hoping that people make the right choice.

580
00:44:31,579 --> 00:44:36,579
That is as flawed as the gods were as they were left.

581
00:44:36,579 --> 00:44:51,579
Being coerced and bamboozled by one of the most chaotic, unthinking gods in the realm.

582
00:44:51,579 --> 00:44:56,579
He had a good team behind him.

583
00:44:56,579 --> 00:44:59,579
He looks at Farranox.

584
00:44:59,579 --> 00:45:03,579
Gotta have the persuasion every once in a while, yes?

585
00:45:03,579 --> 00:45:07,579
I guess that's what you do with it.

586
00:45:07,579 --> 00:45:19,579
If we do this, how can we prepare this rediscovery that is guaranteed to happen?

587
00:45:19,579 --> 00:45:24,579
Because it seems that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

588
00:45:24,579 --> 00:45:28,579
So it will just always be there, churning, going and doing its thing.

589
00:45:28,579 --> 00:45:32,579
How do we prepare the next ones when they rediscover it?

590
00:45:32,579 --> 00:45:34,579
What do we do? How do we?

591
00:45:34,579 --> 00:45:40,579
Because the idea needs to die for it to stop being sought.

592
00:45:40,579 --> 00:45:47,579
Or does everyone need to be forewarned of it and the dangers?

593
00:45:47,579 --> 00:45:55,579
Will everyone still remember all of this that's happened?

594
00:45:55,579 --> 00:46:03,579
There are some decisions to be made if the power is to be redistributed among the realms.

595
00:46:03,579 --> 00:46:16,579
And you wish for everyone to know and remember that the deities existed but now are no longer there.

596
00:46:16,579 --> 00:46:21,579
That can happen.

597
00:46:21,579 --> 00:46:29,579
That's not to say that the power in and of itself, the energy in and of itself cannot be tapped.

598
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:42,579
However, you, the twelve of you, are the only ones to know that.

599
00:46:42,579 --> 00:46:51,579
Now the question lies, do we remove the memory from everyone, yourself included,

600
00:46:51,579 --> 00:46:57,579
or do we leave that memory with you?

601
00:46:57,579 --> 00:47:05,579
To do with what you will, to ensure that it sticks, to ensure that there's no repercussions

602
00:47:05,579 --> 00:47:11,579
with the knowledge that you have.

603
00:47:11,579 --> 00:47:15,579
For a time being.

604
00:47:15,579 --> 00:47:21,579
If something needs to be corrected, you would then have the ability or the wherewithal

605
00:47:21,579 --> 00:47:29,579
to know what happened and how to course correct again.

606
00:47:29,579 --> 00:47:32,579
Or remove it from all of you.

607
00:47:32,579 --> 00:47:40,579
Is there a way to remove it from all of us but leave every other memory intact?

608
00:47:40,579 --> 00:47:46,579
In what way would I remember Flint dying if he wasn't fighting Orcus?

609
00:47:46,579 --> 00:47:52,579
Right, like how does that, is it a clean slate for everyone?

610
00:47:52,579 --> 00:47:59,579
I mean I don't want to forget because I need to remember so that I'm motivated to do the good that I need to do.

611
00:47:59,579 --> 00:48:03,579
And I think we're missing a golden opportunity for us to be able to remain friends

612
00:48:03,579 --> 00:48:07,579
by creating a secret organization that holds the knowledge of this.

613
00:48:07,579 --> 00:48:18,579
And we spur it forth, and choosing our successors, and eventually creating our own community.

614
00:48:18,579 --> 00:48:26,579
I think that's exactly, Barnox, that's why we need to remember so that we don't fall back accidentally

615
00:48:26,579 --> 00:48:30,579
into kind of old habits.

616
00:48:30,579 --> 00:48:34,579
Because you had me there, I was like, yeah we should do that, we can all be best friends

617
00:48:34,579 --> 00:48:43,579
and we'll just, oh, you can be friends, but without a sort of overarching kind of evil plan.

618
00:48:43,579 --> 00:48:49,579
Yeah, this is like long-term good that we'd be doing.

619
00:48:49,579 --> 00:48:50,579
Yeah.

620
00:48:50,579 --> 00:48:58,579
I mean I don't want to be too cocky about being a do-gooder but it seems like it's doing some pretty good stuff.

621
00:48:58,579 --> 00:49:02,579
I would opt not to forget.

622
00:49:03,579 --> 00:49:07,579
Oh hi, Night Hunter. It's good to see you. You've been very quiet in the back there,

623
00:49:07,579 --> 00:49:11,579
just really taking it all in, haven't you?

624
00:49:11,579 --> 00:49:14,579
Come look at the basin with me.

625
00:49:14,579 --> 00:49:19,579
Flamigan leads Night Hunter over to the basin.

626
00:49:19,579 --> 00:49:28,579
How about you, Aga? You were the first to say that you did not want to hold the power.

627
00:49:28,579 --> 00:49:29,579
How does this sit with you?

628
00:49:29,579 --> 00:49:35,579
I think it is better than trying to recreate what has died.

629
00:49:35,579 --> 00:49:42,579
I think remembering that death is also important.

630
00:49:42,579 --> 00:49:50,579
Things cannot grow except out of what has died.

631
00:49:50,579 --> 00:49:54,579
I would choose to remember.

632
00:49:54,579 --> 00:49:58,579
May give a slight nod.

633
00:49:58,579 --> 00:50:06,579
It seems, unless there are other questions, that this is the way.

634
00:50:10,579 --> 00:50:24,579
We have made it to the middle where we'll finally talk about this episode.

635
00:50:24,579 --> 00:50:28,579
But not all of it because we're in the middle and we can't talk about all the episodes.

636
00:50:28,579 --> 00:50:29,579
You were so close.

637
00:50:29,579 --> 00:50:30,579
I was so close.

638
00:50:30,579 --> 00:50:33,579
We probably won't even really talk so much about the episode.

639
00:50:33,579 --> 00:50:40,579
Just about our listeners and how much we love you and can't believe that you exist

640
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:44,579
and are the incredible, beautiful, intelligent people that you are.

641
00:50:44,579 --> 00:50:46,579
And you still listen to us idiots?

642
00:50:46,579 --> 00:50:51,579
Would we even be recording this if we didn't have all those wonderful listeners

643
00:50:51,579 --> 00:50:54,579
that bolster us and make us feel super awesome?

644
00:50:54,579 --> 00:50:56,579
That is a good question.

645
00:50:56,579 --> 00:50:57,579
Who knows?

646
00:50:57,579 --> 00:51:06,579
But I'm glad that we have hit record and that we are here on the finale of this whole...

647
00:51:06,579 --> 00:51:08,579
How many years have we been playing this?

648
00:51:08,579 --> 00:51:09,579
Since like 2013?

649
00:51:09,579 --> 00:51:12,579
Around the table with Flit, Thea, and New Laura?

650
00:51:12,579 --> 00:51:13,579
No.

651
00:51:13,579 --> 00:51:15,579
I mean somewhere in that neighborhood.

652
00:51:15,579 --> 00:51:16,579
I think 2014?

653
00:51:16,579 --> 00:51:17,579
14, 15.

654
00:51:17,579 --> 00:51:18,579
Somewhere in there.

655
00:51:18,579 --> 00:51:19,579
14, 15.

656
00:51:19,579 --> 00:51:22,579
So even still, we're coming up on almost 10 years.

657
00:51:22,579 --> 00:51:24,579
A heck of a long time.

658
00:51:24,579 --> 00:51:25,579
Wow.

659
00:51:25,579 --> 00:51:26,579
When you put it like that Russ.

660
00:51:26,579 --> 00:51:27,579
Wow.

661
00:51:27,579 --> 00:51:30,579
We've all been in this together for so long.

662
00:51:30,579 --> 00:51:32,579
Thank you for being with us on this journey.

663
00:51:32,579 --> 00:51:33,579
Yeah.

664
00:51:33,579 --> 00:51:34,579
Absolutely.

665
00:51:34,579 --> 00:51:38,579
It's been amazing and we hope you're enjoying this, the final episode.

666
00:51:38,579 --> 00:51:39,579
A little...

667
00:51:39,579 --> 00:51:40,579
Of this season.

668
00:51:40,579 --> 00:51:41,579
Of this season.

669
00:51:41,579 --> 00:51:44,579
I need to keep saying of this season because...

670
00:51:44,579 --> 00:51:45,579
Back, baby.

671
00:51:45,579 --> 00:51:51,579
That segues into our plans moving forward, which we'll get more into at the Q&A, but

672
00:51:51,579 --> 00:51:52,579
there are going to be more episodes.

673
00:51:52,579 --> 00:51:56,579
We're going to be a little break from like a continuous storyline with some one shots

674
00:51:56,579 --> 00:51:58,579
and some Patreon bonus stuff and all that sort of thing.

675
00:51:58,579 --> 00:52:00,579
We're just going to figure everything out.

676
00:52:00,579 --> 00:52:02,579
As we figure it out, yeah.

677
00:52:02,579 --> 00:52:06,579
Because as much time as we had since we last recorded this episode, we did traditional

678
00:52:06,579 --> 00:52:09,579
Dumgeon's fashion and didn't do the planning that we should have.

679
00:52:09,579 --> 00:52:10,579
So we're on it.

680
00:52:10,579 --> 00:52:11,579
We're doing it now.

681
00:52:11,579 --> 00:52:12,579
We're doing it now.

682
00:52:12,579 --> 00:52:16,579
But I don't want to say goodbye yet because it's another goodbye.

683
00:52:16,579 --> 00:52:17,579
Okay.

684
00:52:17,579 --> 00:52:20,579
This is the end of the middle and we hope that you enjoy.

685
00:52:20,579 --> 00:52:21,579
I was going to say it's not even goodbye.

686
00:52:21,579 --> 00:52:22,579
It's just the middle here.

687
00:52:22,579 --> 00:52:24,579
Enjoy the rest of the episode, you guys.

688
00:52:24,579 --> 00:52:26,579
You're just going to hear us in about seconds.

689
00:52:26,579 --> 00:52:27,579
That's right.

690
00:52:27,579 --> 00:52:28,579
We'll be back.

691
00:52:28,579 --> 00:52:29,579
We'll still be here.

692
00:52:29,579 --> 00:52:30,579
So just keep playing.

693
00:52:30,579 --> 00:52:32,579
Otherwise you won't know how it ends.

694
00:52:32,579 --> 00:52:33,579
Well, yeah.

695
00:52:33,579 --> 00:52:34,579
We love you guys for that.

696
00:52:34,579 --> 00:52:35,579
We love you.

697
00:52:35,579 --> 00:52:36,579
Okay.

698
00:52:36,579 --> 00:52:37,579
Talk to you soon.

699
00:52:37,579 --> 00:52:38,579
Love you.

700
00:52:38,579 --> 00:52:39,579
Bye.

701
00:52:39,579 --> 00:52:40,579
Bye.

702
00:52:40,579 --> 00:52:41,579
Love you.

703
00:52:42,579 --> 00:52:48,579
Where do you wish to be returned to?

704
00:52:48,579 --> 00:52:55,579
This world out here, the one we look upon, is not the one that looks around the room

705
00:52:55,579 --> 00:53:00,579
that any of you are from.

706
00:53:00,579 --> 00:53:02,579
Well, technically...

707
00:53:02,579 --> 00:53:03,579
Oh, yes.

708
00:53:03,579 --> 00:53:04,579
Of course.

709
00:53:04,579 --> 00:53:05,579
You...

710
00:53:05,579 --> 00:53:10,579
But wherever, Lip Sinky, wherever you want to go.

711
00:53:10,579 --> 00:53:15,579
Your timeline, mine, either way is cool with me.

712
00:53:15,579 --> 00:53:20,579
I mean, y'all are totally welcome to stay here because a lot of the shit we did didn't

713
00:53:20,579 --> 00:53:25,579
fuck up my world and I don't know if that's going to be like that at y'all.

714
00:53:25,579 --> 00:53:28,579
So if you're cool with that, sorry.

715
00:53:28,579 --> 00:53:32,579
Yeah, I mean, I'd like to kind of stay here where I've sort of done less of

716
00:53:32,579 --> 00:53:39,579
the terrible, terrible evil because we didn't get there yet and I know that's a selfish

717
00:53:39,579 --> 00:53:41,579
choice, but...

718
00:53:41,579 --> 00:53:48,579
Do versions of ourself already exist in this world?

719
00:53:48,579 --> 00:53:49,579
Oh, that's a great question.

720
00:53:49,579 --> 00:53:50,579
Will we...

721
00:53:50,579 --> 00:53:53,579
Do I have to, like, kill myself to replace myself?

722
00:53:53,579 --> 00:53:54,579
Oh, my God.

723
00:53:54,579 --> 00:53:56,579
Always with the killing, like...

724
00:53:56,579 --> 00:53:57,579
No.

725
00:53:57,579 --> 00:53:58,579
Well, but how does that work?

726
00:53:58,579 --> 00:54:01,579
If there's already a glim there, then does that...

727
00:54:01,579 --> 00:54:03,579
Do I replace that glim?

728
00:54:03,579 --> 00:54:04,579
Will there be two glims?

729
00:54:04,579 --> 00:54:05,579
I mean, what...

730
00:54:05,579 --> 00:54:06,579
Oh, that's too many glims.

731
00:54:06,579 --> 00:54:10,579
We're kind of like a package deal, so would we have to take out all three?

732
00:54:10,579 --> 00:54:14,579
Right, and then is there like six of us and then it's just...

733
00:54:14,579 --> 00:54:17,579
I don't understand the mechanics of the replacing...

734
00:54:17,579 --> 00:54:21,579
Yeah, if you could like detail that out, like really lay it out with lots of detail.

735
00:54:21,579 --> 00:54:26,579
If you killed your alternate self, would you therefore gain their power?

736
00:54:26,579 --> 00:54:31,579
Or would their equal power to your equal power cancel out all of your power?

737
00:54:31,579 --> 00:54:32,579
Or perhaps...

738
00:54:32,579 --> 00:54:34,579
And then you just turn into a rock or something?

739
00:54:34,579 --> 00:54:42,579
There is all the world, like all of the sullies and all of the timelines all share, like, a power source.

740
00:54:42,579 --> 00:54:47,579
And when you get rid of one, the power of all the sullies reduce.

741
00:54:47,579 --> 00:54:53,579
Or do they all, the other sullies, get stronger because you've eliminated one sully from the pool?

742
00:54:53,579 --> 00:54:59,579
And I think we all just stop and turn to the Leosin person, God.

743
00:54:59,579 --> 00:55:08,579
If you wish to return to your timeline, you will be returned as you are at the time of which you left.

744
00:55:08,579 --> 00:55:16,579
Now that timeline, pointing again down to the basin, has been corrected.

745
00:55:16,579 --> 00:55:23,579
The exact moment of which its correction took place is uncertain.

746
00:55:23,579 --> 00:55:28,579
So you will have lived a different life.

747
00:55:28,579 --> 00:55:34,579
Perhaps up to the point of which you left.

748
00:55:34,579 --> 00:55:38,579
Those memories will come flooding back.

749
00:55:38,579 --> 00:55:44,579
And you will take on that new version of yourself.

750
00:55:44,579 --> 00:55:49,579
If you were to stay here in this timeline with this Vorunax,

751
00:55:49,579 --> 00:55:57,579
you would assume the consciousness of yourself down there.

752
00:55:57,579 --> 00:56:03,579
Because you are, in this room, but energy.

753
00:56:03,579 --> 00:56:06,579
Not but energy, sully.

754
00:56:06,579 --> 00:56:09,579
I wasn't gonna...

755
00:56:09,579 --> 00:56:15,579
And then he and Flamikins Kins kind of lock eyes and go, but energy.

756
00:56:15,579 --> 00:56:17,579
Did you hear him? He said, but energy.

757
00:56:17,579 --> 00:56:19,579
He said, but energy.

758
00:56:19,579 --> 00:56:23,579
You are merely energy.

759
00:56:23,579 --> 00:56:26,579
So are we our souls right now?

760
00:56:26,579 --> 00:56:30,579
In a sense. You are souls. You have souls.

761
00:56:30,579 --> 00:56:35,579
But we are like main soul, like top dog soul.

762
00:56:35,579 --> 00:56:37,579
Like...

763
00:56:37,579 --> 00:56:44,579
If there was a hierarchy, you are the most successful, which puts you at the top of the class, if that's what you're asking about.

764
00:56:44,579 --> 00:56:46,579
Yes, feels good to beat up.

765
00:56:46,579 --> 00:56:47,579
Yeah.

766
00:56:47,579 --> 00:56:54,579
You, as you exist right now, have the ability to move between whichever time stream you wish.

767
00:56:54,579 --> 00:57:00,579
As a deity's energy could.

768
00:57:00,579 --> 00:57:10,579
That was gifted to you in order to make a decision where you want to go when you harness the power to defeat Orcus and Demogorgon.

769
00:57:10,579 --> 00:57:19,579
When we take over that version of ourselves, we have the option to retain the memories of what happened here.

770
00:57:19,579 --> 00:57:21,579
Of course.

771
00:57:21,579 --> 00:57:26,579
You will also gain the memories of that lived experience.

772
00:57:26,579 --> 00:57:40,579
That'd be so weird because I could say like on this day, like I was fighting Orcus, but also we ran out of milk and I had to jog down to the supermarket to get it.

773
00:57:40,579 --> 00:57:43,579
You will have to learn to separate it.

774
00:57:43,579 --> 00:57:46,579
As...

775
00:57:46,579 --> 00:58:06,579
How to put this lightly or differently, in a world without deities, those who perceive the power to have walked between worlds and walked between times is problematic in people who do not have the comprehension of what that means.

776
00:58:06,579 --> 00:58:11,579
Alright, so I'm starting a poll right now. Who's gonna lose their marbles first?

777
00:58:11,579 --> 00:58:14,579
Night Hunter, how you doing?

778
00:58:15,579 --> 00:58:17,579
I am doing well.

779
00:58:17,579 --> 00:58:22,579
This sounds like I can choose time to go back to Elia.

780
00:58:22,579 --> 00:58:24,579
That is what they're saying.

781
00:58:24,579 --> 00:58:26,579
That is what I choose.

782
00:58:26,579 --> 00:58:29,579
The decision sounds easy for you.

783
00:58:29,579 --> 00:58:37,579
You were plucked from your time against your wishes and could be placed back there.

784
00:58:37,579 --> 00:58:43,579
Now when I get placed back there, am I in the middle of fighting Orcus?

785
00:58:43,579 --> 00:58:49,579
Or am I with Elia trying to get away from Songkitti?

786
00:58:49,579 --> 00:58:51,579
Come with me.

787
00:58:51,579 --> 00:59:02,579
And he again zooms in on your timeline and says place your hand in the basin.

788
00:59:02,579 --> 00:59:06,579
They eye him suspiciously.

789
00:59:06,579 --> 00:59:13,579
But if it means getting back to Elia, Night Hunter places her hand in the basin.

790
00:59:13,579 --> 00:59:19,579
As you do, there's this wave that washes over you.

791
00:59:19,579 --> 00:59:24,579
And you are placed.

792
00:59:24,579 --> 00:59:29,579
Outsider looking in on this scene.

793
00:59:29,579 --> 00:59:32,579
What is the scene that you see?

794
00:59:32,579 --> 00:59:50,579
It is Night Hunter and Elia sneaking out the back of their cottage as knocking, persistent pounding on the front door with shouts of

795
00:59:50,579 --> 00:59:56,579
Elia! Night Hunter! Night Hunter, Elia, I know you're home!

796
00:59:56,579 --> 01:00:21,579
And we are seen sneaking up to a tree house that Night Hunter had built her and Elia in the forest, away from Opal, where they could be in a place without Opal.

797
01:00:21,579 --> 01:00:28,579
And your hand is pulled back from the basin.

798
01:00:28,579 --> 01:00:37,579
Returning to that point, is that what you wish?

799
01:00:37,579 --> 01:00:49,579
Yes. This may sound, how you say, corny, but there is nothing more important than true love.

800
01:00:49,579 --> 01:01:01,579
Well, my friends, unless there are any other questions.

801
01:01:01,579 --> 01:01:10,579
It appears that your decision has been made to return the energy to the worlds and to the planes.

802
01:01:10,579 --> 01:01:27,579
And to have yourselves reinserted for Night Hunter into the timeline in which you left and lost your beloved and your dear friend.

803
01:01:27,579 --> 01:01:38,579
And for everyone else, you wish to stay here, if I understand correctly.

804
01:01:38,579 --> 01:01:53,579
Staying here means the self that you are taking over while you retain the memories of Orcus taking over.

805
01:01:53,579 --> 01:02:04,579
This new person that you become will never have experienced that. And over time, if you choose, you can choose to forget.

806
01:02:04,579 --> 01:02:16,579
For now, obviously, as we have all wished, you choose not to. But you will have that power in your own time, if you so desire.

807
01:02:16,579 --> 01:02:31,579
I think I would go back. It feels wrong to take over another, I guess, story.

808
01:02:31,579 --> 01:02:42,579
I do not want to lose the marks that this has made, however dark they may be.

809
01:02:42,579 --> 01:02:43,579
Understood.

810
01:02:43,579 --> 01:02:46,579
Can Rax come to?

811
01:02:46,579 --> 01:02:52,579
Of course. Of course. Rax can come. Rax can come with. It's not a problem.

812
01:02:52,579 --> 01:02:56,579
Hey, you guys, huddle up. We're making a group decision here, right?

813
01:02:56,579 --> 01:02:59,579
I mean, I assume so, right? We're all going together.

814
01:02:59,579 --> 01:03:02,579
Oh gosh, yeah, I couldn't separate.

815
01:03:02,579 --> 01:03:08,579
So, I mean, now that Agatha just said that, I do kind of feel weird about, like, you?

816
01:03:08,579 --> 01:03:10,579
Yeah, we're saying the same thing.

817
01:03:10,579 --> 01:03:15,579
I know we said we weren't going to kill them, but I still feel weird about it, even though it's me, but it's not me.

818
01:03:15,579 --> 01:03:21,579
Well, yeah, I mean, Sully here in this timeline deserves to make just as many mistakes as I did. I shouldn't take that from him.

819
01:03:21,579 --> 01:03:23,579
Yeah.

820
01:03:23,579 --> 01:03:24,579
Moot, what do you think?

821
01:03:25,579 --> 01:03:41,579
I mean, I get it. Where, like, would we return to the one we came from, or maybe they know of a timeline where we met different fates and we can just go start new in that timeline.

822
01:03:41,579 --> 01:03:45,579
But if we had different fates, what if we didn't even meet?

823
01:03:45,579 --> 01:03:49,579
Well, that's just it. What if we didn't? But, like, now we can all go together.

824
01:03:49,579 --> 01:03:50,579
Wow.

825
01:03:50,579 --> 01:03:54,579
What? After all this time, Moot, you're saying you didn't?

826
01:03:54,579 --> 01:03:56,579
After everything we've been through?

827
01:03:56,579 --> 01:04:08,579
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, we just get put there together as a group, even though that reality's version of us maybe didn't make it that long.

828
01:04:08,579 --> 01:04:11,579
Oh, and that just has bad vibes.

829
01:04:11,579 --> 01:04:13,579
Okay.

830
01:04:13,579 --> 01:04:16,579
I just, I don't know.

831
01:04:16,579 --> 01:04:19,579
I'm just spitballing here, just floating ideas.

832
01:04:19,579 --> 01:04:31,579
I mean, I guess literally anything is possible, so a great idea that did a little bit crush my heart, and I'm gonna probably hold on to that a little bit, even though you said that's not what you meant, but I-

833
01:04:31,579 --> 01:04:32,579
It really wasn't.

834
01:04:32,579 --> 01:04:38,579
But, um, yeah, I don't know.

835
01:04:38,579 --> 01:04:42,579
Wait, if we choose a different timeline, do I get my eye back?

836
01:04:42,579 --> 01:04:48,579
And if we choose a different timeline, do we not have to spend time with Hillop doing business?

837
01:04:48,579 --> 01:04:51,579
Oh, you made business sound a little juddy.

838
01:04:51,579 --> 01:04:54,579
Oh, yeah, I didn't- you know that's not what I meant, right?

839
01:04:54,579 --> 01:04:55,579
Okay.

840
01:04:55,579 --> 01:05:02,579
I didn't mean business. I meant literal Zumba business. I love the Zumba. I don't like the corporate sort of thing that it became.

841
01:05:02,579 --> 01:05:03,579
Sure.

842
01:05:03,579 --> 01:05:07,579
It was kind of gross, and, yeah.

843
01:05:07,579 --> 01:05:09,579
I guess I'm just being selfish now.

844
01:05:09,579 --> 01:05:15,579
What makes the most sense for, like, the saving the world destiny kind of thing?

845
01:05:15,579 --> 01:05:17,579
Is that a question to the room?

846
01:05:17,579 --> 01:05:20,579
Just a general wonderment.

847
01:05:20,579 --> 01:05:21,579
Yeah.

848
01:05:21,579 --> 01:05:23,579
I'm open to thoughts if anyone has thoughts.

849
01:05:23,579 --> 01:05:26,579
Feel free, jump in.

850
01:05:26,579 --> 01:05:28,579
We can all make this decision together.

851
01:05:28,579 --> 01:05:38,579
Your destiny of saving the world has happened, and you are making it right now.

852
01:05:38,579 --> 01:05:41,579
Well, what's our new destiny going to be?

853
01:05:41,579 --> 01:05:48,579
I think we get to write that chapter together. I vote going back where we came from.

854
01:05:48,579 --> 01:05:57,579
I think we do, too. I think we can do the most good there, because it's the worst. So we can help the most.

855
01:05:57,579 --> 01:05:58,579
I love it. Let's do it.

856
01:05:58,579 --> 01:06:06,579
And honestly, I'd just love to see the world just re-greenify and things come back to life. That'd be-

857
01:06:06,579 --> 01:06:07,579
That'd be great.

858
01:06:07,579 --> 01:06:09,579
That'd be pretty incredible.

859
01:06:09,579 --> 01:06:15,579
You are coming back to the same timeline?

860
01:06:15,579 --> 01:06:17,579
Yes.

861
01:06:17,579 --> 01:06:23,579
So you could come over for dinner sometime.

862
01:06:23,579 --> 01:06:24,579
Oh, yeah.

863
01:06:24,579 --> 01:06:25,579
Absolutely.

864
01:06:25,579 --> 01:06:26,579
I don't have any plans.

865
01:06:26,579 --> 01:06:29,579
Obviously, we would love that. We have nothing scheduled.

866
01:06:29,579 --> 01:06:31,579
I used to bake.

867
01:06:31,579 --> 01:06:34,579
Perhaps Elia and I do come.

868
01:06:34,579 --> 01:06:36,579
Of course.

869
01:06:36,579 --> 01:06:38,579
Should we do a potluck style?

870
01:06:38,579 --> 01:06:40,579
Oh, that'd be great.

871
01:06:40,579 --> 01:06:48,579
Yeah, potluck. We can play games or do arm-wrestling contests. Nighthunter? A goth?

872
01:06:48,579 --> 01:06:50,579
I would like that.

873
01:06:50,579 --> 01:06:52,579
Vornox, are you getting in on this?

874
01:06:52,579 --> 01:07:02,579
Y'all are really good at doing good things, and if going back to the timeline that the other version of myself fucked over hard,

875
01:07:02,579 --> 01:07:07,579
then I guess that's probably what I should do, too.

876
01:07:07,579 --> 01:07:17,579
I've trusted y'all's steps so far, and look, we killed a god, technically kind of killing all the gods, but hey, a win's a win.

877
01:07:17,579 --> 01:07:21,579
Well, more like redistributing the gods.

878
01:07:21,579 --> 01:07:25,579
Exactly. I'll write that one's wrongs. That sounds good to me.

879
01:07:25,579 --> 01:07:34,579
Well, I go where he goes, and selfishly I wanted to stay somewhere I hadn't done so much wrong, but the right thing to do, I think,

880
01:07:34,579 --> 01:07:38,579
and I look around the room and make eye contact with everyone.

881
01:07:38,579 --> 01:07:45,579
The right thing to do is to try and write the wrongs that I've done, right?

882
01:07:45,579 --> 01:07:48,579
I think everyone nods.

883
01:07:48,579 --> 01:07:51,579
Yeah, even I know that one.

884
01:07:51,579 --> 01:07:53,579
Shit, Flemmingans, we're new at this. Calm down.

885
01:07:53,579 --> 01:07:55,579
Where are you going?

886
01:07:55,579 --> 01:08:01,579
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's good. I mean, I've been doing good all the time. All the time.

887
01:08:01,579 --> 01:08:03,579
Ready, Goth? High five!

888
01:08:03,579 --> 01:08:06,579
Oh my god, you're gonna go hang out with Tiamat again, aren't you?

889
01:08:06,579 --> 01:08:08,579
What? No! What?

890
01:08:08,579 --> 01:08:10,579
Is that what you're on?

891
01:08:10,579 --> 01:08:15,579
I gotta woo another Tiamat in another world is what I gotta do.

892
01:08:15,579 --> 01:08:27,579
But, uh, but, uh, Thea? Uh, where, where, where do you want to be?

893
01:08:27,579 --> 01:08:29,579
I don't even know.

894
01:08:29,579 --> 01:08:42,579
Well, I think you've done enough to save the world over and over and over again, so I think it'd be pretty reasonable if you wanted to maybe go back.

895
01:08:42,579 --> 01:08:51,579
Somewhere where you can be with your friends again, right? You don't need to clean up any messes. You've saved the world how many times now?

896
01:08:51,579 --> 01:09:10,579
Is it? I feel like it'd be weird if I went back to a time with Nularaaa and Flint and we were just, I don't know, adventuring together? Solving village problems?

897
01:09:12,579 --> 01:09:29,579
I think I would, I think I would forget or I wouldn't and dwell on the Nularaaa and Flint that I lost.

898
01:09:29,579 --> 01:09:42,579
Well, I'm just throwing it out there, um, and I don't want to speak for you, Vorunax, but I'm about to. Um, we could really use some, like, help and guidance on the whole being good thing.

899
01:09:42,579 --> 01:09:57,579
So if you wanted to, like, I don't know, be our, uh, goodness tutor or sort of just a sounding board when we're kind of, can't decide if, uh, the right course of action.

900
01:09:57,579 --> 01:10:09,579
I mean, you, you could just come with us and sounds like we're all going to get together for dinner parties and stuff, so you wouldn't be alone.

901
01:10:09,579 --> 01:10:15,579
Yeah, that, that sounds nice. I'll, I'll go with the group.

902
01:10:15,579 --> 01:10:16,579
Ahem.

903
01:10:16,579 --> 01:10:19,579
No, we will go.

904
01:10:19,579 --> 01:10:23,579
That's better. Thanks. Thanks so much.

905
01:10:23,579 --> 01:10:27,579
I know there hasn't been an explicit offer.

906
01:10:27,579 --> 01:10:29,579
God, I forgot you were here.

907
01:10:29,579 --> 01:10:31,579
I think we all did.

908
01:10:31,579 --> 01:10:32,579
That's okay.

909
01:10:32,579 --> 01:10:34,579
It's as quiet as Night Hunter.

910
01:10:34,579 --> 01:10:38,579
Yeah, no, I was letting you really feel it out there for a moment.

911
01:10:38,579 --> 01:10:41,579
Oh my God, you just want to find out where everyone is going so you could, like.

912
01:10:41,579 --> 01:10:48,579
Well, I wanted to get a good vibe on, uh, on how everybody was feeling about which place they were going.

913
01:10:48,579 --> 01:10:55,579
I mean, I've got a lot of myself to choose from, as you can, as you saw, like I'm all about.

914
01:10:55,579 --> 01:11:00,579
I mean, I got to put me back everywhere, which way I got to go.

915
01:11:00,579 --> 01:11:01,579
Well.

916
01:11:01,579 --> 01:11:02,579
But after that, you know.

917
01:11:02,579 --> 01:11:07,579
If we're getting together for a potluck, he does make really good pancakes.

918
01:11:07,579 --> 01:11:10,579
I do.

919
01:11:10,579 --> 01:11:12,579
I do do that.

920
01:11:12,579 --> 01:11:14,579
I do do that. Yeah.

921
01:11:14,579 --> 01:11:18,579
Uh, so I guess it's settled. I'm coming with you folks.

922
01:11:18,579 --> 01:11:21,579
I'm sorry in advance.

923
01:11:21,579 --> 01:11:25,579
Well, I guess in like a group setting, I mean, you know, we kind of forgot he was even here for a minute.

924
01:11:25,579 --> 01:11:28,579
So it's not like it's like Grancis, Grancis, Grancis all the time.

925
01:11:28,579 --> 01:11:33,579
Like when we were together in the in the abyss.

926
01:11:33,579 --> 01:11:34,579
So sure thing.

927
01:11:34,579 --> 01:11:36,579
I think it'll be great.

928
01:11:36,579 --> 01:11:39,579
So do we like have to click our heels or something?

929
01:11:39,579 --> 01:11:40,579
Oh, yeah.

930
01:11:40,579 --> 01:11:48,579
Is there a phrase or do we take a couple of steps backward and then a couple of steps in and then we all jump in the air at the same time and like freeze frame?

931
01:11:48,579 --> 01:11:49,579
Yes.

932
01:11:49,579 --> 01:11:53,579
Grancis would cast catnap and then we wake up where we need to be.

933
01:11:53,579 --> 01:11:55,579
He can finally cast that spell.

934
01:11:55,579 --> 01:11:56,579
Yes.

935
01:11:56,579 --> 01:11:58,579
Going on about the entire fucking time.

936
01:11:58,579 --> 01:11:59,579
I could do that.

937
01:11:59,579 --> 01:12:01,579
I would like to not have that happen.

938
01:12:01,579 --> 01:12:02,579
Please.

939
01:12:02,579 --> 01:12:03,579
You got to be willing.

940
01:12:03,579 --> 01:12:04,579
You got to be willing.

941
01:12:04,579 --> 01:12:05,579
So anybody who's willing.

942
01:12:05,579 --> 01:12:07,579
Oh, come on, Sully.

943
01:12:07,579 --> 01:12:08,579
I will.

944
01:12:08,579 --> 01:12:09,579
I will.

945
01:12:09,579 --> 01:12:11,579
Look at the fear on Thea's face.

946
01:12:11,579 --> 01:12:13,579
It's OK.

947
01:12:13,579 --> 01:12:14,579
It's OK.

948
01:12:14,579 --> 01:12:15,579
You can click your heels.

949
01:12:15,579 --> 01:12:16,579
You can freeze frame.

950
01:12:16,579 --> 01:12:18,579
You can do whatever you feel is necessary.

951
01:12:18,579 --> 01:12:20,579
But really, you just have to say the word.

952
01:12:20,579 --> 01:12:30,579
And as you wish, the power will be restored to the planes and you will be put back to your original timeline.

953
01:12:30,579 --> 01:12:36,579
Barnocks, you will be placed in their time.

954
01:12:36,579 --> 01:12:38,579
Sounds good.

955
01:12:38,579 --> 01:12:41,579
You know, sounds good to me.

956
01:12:41,579 --> 01:12:43,579
Yeah.

957
01:12:43,579 --> 01:12:45,579
Bird.

958
01:12:45,579 --> 01:12:47,579
That is the word.

959
01:12:48,579 --> 01:12:49,579
Yes.

960
01:12:49,579 --> 01:12:51,579
Bird.

961
01:12:51,579 --> 01:12:55,579
I, Bird, thought it was Grace.

962
01:12:55,579 --> 01:13:06,579
Theosin's form walks over to the basin as you're talking about the word and dips his finger into the basin.

963
01:13:06,579 --> 01:13:11,579
And you see a long drip of water extending from his finger.

964
01:13:11,579 --> 01:13:16,579
And it releases and hits the center of the basin, ripples out.

965
01:13:16,579 --> 01:13:23,579
And the form before you begins to disperse, fade away.

966
01:13:23,579 --> 01:13:31,579
And the energy that it was made up of begins to swirl around the basin and then around you all.

967
01:13:31,579 --> 01:13:39,579
Everything in the room begins to fade from your vision in a bright light.

968
01:13:40,579 --> 01:13:49,579
And as Theos starts to fade out, she kneels down by Flint's body and lays a hand on his chest and says,

969
01:13:49,579 --> 01:13:52,579
I'll see you later.

970
01:13:55,579 --> 01:14:00,579
And everything goes completely dark for a moment.

971
01:14:01,579 --> 01:14:05,579
And you blink your eyes.

972
01:14:05,579 --> 01:14:20,579
And you find yourselves on the edge of a town, surrounded by forest, greenery, birds chirping, and a light breeze cutting through.

973
01:14:30,579 --> 01:14:56,579
Dumbgeons and Dragons, Season 2, Episode 155.

974
01:14:56,579 --> 01:14:59,579
And yes, that's the season finale.

975
01:14:59,579 --> 01:15:03,579
This episode starred Amy More as Thea, Sully, and Nighthunter.

976
01:15:03,579 --> 01:15:06,579
Carla Maxted played Glim and Lipsinki.

977
01:15:06,579 --> 01:15:14,579
Tom Laird as Flint in Moot, with Kristen Flemmons as a Goth, Kyle Klass at his Vorunax, and Russ More as your Dungeon Master.

978
01:15:14,579 --> 01:15:18,579
Dialogue Editing by Carla Maxted and Sound Design by Russ More.

979
01:15:18,579 --> 01:15:24,579
This episode featured music from Epidemic Sound and Kavin McLeod of incompetech.filmmusic.io.

980
01:15:24,579 --> 01:15:29,579
And sound effects from Epidemic Sound, Boom Library, and Sound Ideas.

981
01:15:29,579 --> 01:15:32,579
A huge thank you to our supporting producers.

982
01:15:47,579 --> 01:15:51,579
Join us today at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cat for so many reasons,

983
01:15:51,579 --> 01:15:54,579
but first, it will help us get ready for the new season,

984
01:15:54,579 --> 01:15:58,579
which we'll have some more information to share about in the season wrap Q&A,

985
01:15:58,579 --> 01:16:01,579
where patrons will be in attendance to ask their questions live.

986
01:16:01,579 --> 01:16:05,579
If you can't join at this time, we totally understand and we still want your questions.

987
01:16:05,579 --> 01:16:11,579

988
01:16:11,579 --> 01:16:17,579
and they'll be read by one of the cast or our Q&A moderator and all around great friend Kyle Claset.

989
01:16:17,579 --> 01:16:20,579
And that brings us right to the very end.

990
01:16:20,579 --> 01:16:27,579
I mean, there's still a couple bloopers left, but just want to say thank you for listening to this story for the last six years.

991
01:16:27,579 --> 01:16:34,579
It's been a wild ride and we can't wait to bring new stories to you in the coming weeks and new season.

992
01:16:34,579 --> 01:16:38,579
You have a great week and we'll talk again very soon.

993
01:16:50,579 --> 01:17:10,579
Flamikins Kinnens comes up and puts a hand on Thea.

994
01:17:10,579 --> 01:17:12,579
Where?

995
01:17:12,579 --> 01:17:17,579
It's a fair question.

996
01:17:17,579 --> 01:17:27,579
The portals have been closed, but one of you does hold the power to

997
01:17:27,579 --> 01:17:29,579
knock everything off your desk.

998
01:17:29,579 --> 01:17:31,579
Knock everything off the desk without touching it.

999
01:17:31,579 --> 01:17:34,579
If we try hard enough, we all have that power.

1000
01:17:34,579 --> 01:17:35,579
That's right.

1001
01:17:35,579 --> 01:17:37,579
Lives within us all.

1002
01:17:37,579 --> 01:17:42,579
That this is the way.

1003
01:17:42,579 --> 01:17:43,579
This is the way.

1004
01:17:43,579 --> 01:17:45,579
This is the way.

1005
