[0.0s] It is the middle of the night on this first night of your adventure that you're slowly, [14.4s] quickly finding out is more of just an excursion for a rich person in this town. [20.6s] Bizard is the end of your first one. [22.6s] You hear the jingle of the bell that you had set up and then a scream from Ignatius [29.0s] and you quickly turn and now everybody wakes up. [33.4s] Something is something's here. [35.9s] Everyone rise. [37.6s] Something's happening. [38.5s] Okay. [38.9s] Okay. [39.3s] Okay. [39.6s] Okay. [41.0s] What is it? [41.7s] Does anybody see it? [42.5s] What kind of what kind of something? [43.9s] I don't know. [44.7s] Let's look around. [46.5s] It might be a small animal. [49.2s] It might be a ne'er-do-well as I said. [52.8s] Hard to say. [53.9s] You're all back to back to back to back looking out and around. [58.0s] Ignatius is still sleeping occasionally screaming. [61.8s] You hear just like a swift move through the tall grass and then another jingle of the bell off into your right, [67.9s] which makes everybody turn and look. [70.2s] Bench lets out a small scream as well. [72.6s] Did anybody see it? [74.5s] I didn't see it. [76.1s] I mean something but... [79.2s] We hear another jingle of the bell often often behind from where the sound is coming [84.4s] and we cut ahead and Bench is holding a flaming stick and everybody's screaming as the bell continually is ringing around you. [92.2s] You can't see anything yet. [94.9s] You're all chaotically looking around trying to figure out what's happening. [99.5s] Did anybody see it? [100.5s] I don't know but it's coming from everywhere. [102.3s] It's everywhere. [103.1s] It's everywhere all at once. [103.9s] It's all directions. [104.7s] I think there's a lot of them. [106.8s] We cut ahead again and you're completely surrounded by squirrels around this smoldering fire. [113.7s] The burning stick has been tossed down and they are encircling your area. [118.5s] I threw down some leftover key lime tart. [120.9s] The leader of these squirrels slowly steps forward and dips like a little paw into it and takes a little nibble [129.9s] and turns and looks at all of them and gives a quick nod [134.3s] and we cut ahead and you're all seated around this smoldering fire. [138.6s] All the squirrels are gone. [141.3s] That was very, very close. [143.7s] I think we could have died. [145.9s] I mean, when there's a lot of something, no matter how small it is, it does become sort of frightening. [151.2s] The dark gives the big shadows too. [153.6s] Yeah. [154.7s] I mean, I'm not really from around here. [157.1s] Is like a roving squirrel gang just run of the mill? [161.6s] Haven't spent a lot of time in the hill. [163.5s] So but I don't think so. [166.3s] And you all slowly look to the side where Bizard has cleaned up. [173.4s] The dishes where there is a carcass of a rabbit and a squirrel. [179.8s] Maybe, maybe they were upset that we ate one of them and that was an offering. [185.9s] Maybe they thought that the pie was one of us. [189.7s] Ooh, that's a very good possibility. [194.2s] Oh, okay. [195.1s] I mean, how many pies do we have left? [199.0s] Oh, I brought one for each night. [201.4s] We each had one tonight. [203.3s] I didn't know how many nights we were going to be out. [204.9s] So I assumed I've got like a crumb left. [209.4s] Great. [210.0s] Don't eat the crumb. [212.2s] No problem. [214.0s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast. [219.0s] I'm your dungeon master Russ More. [220.6s] He, him also with me is Carla Maxted as Bonwyn Everbane.

[259.5s] Your midday the next day, sun is shining bright overhead. [273.1s] Everybody's feeling quite tired from the night previous where nobody [277.2s] except for Ignatius got a restful night's sleep. [280.6s] He's leading a few, uh, probably 10 or 15 steps ahead of everybody [286.1s] as you're all dragging ass a little bit. [288.2s] This is what's, uh, what's wrong with everybody? [290.1s] Did you not sleep well on this night? [292.0s] This first adventure is he's looking back at you walking backwards, [295.8s] jauntily bouncing. [297.5s] Oh, um, it just, uh, yeah, not a great sleep. [302.4s] Not a, not a great sleep, but fortune favor. [306.7s] Uh, the map in the middle of the night must have gotten a little wet [310.3s] and has revealed an alternate path towards our treasure. [314.8s] And he holds it up. [315.7s] See, look, this line wasn't here when I looked at it right [319.4s] before I went to bed. [320.9s] I can only believe a secret line. [323.4s] Yes. [323.9s] Secret map. [324.9s] A secret line. [325.7s] Very exciting. [327.0s] Must be the best way to get there. [328.7s] The real way to get there. [330.6s] Fortunately, it's going to the same place. [334.0s] Perfect. [334.8s] That means very, very convenient. [336.8s] You are a master. [339.5s] So we have one of two options. [342.5s] We follow this secret line or we go on the original path as it was [348.8s] intended to get the full experience for the adventure. [353.8s] And he's nodding very deeply in this, looking for approval from [358.3s] anybody in the group. [360.2s] I just need one. [361.3s] See, Ignatius, I think that you have become so masterful [366.1s] at exploration that the answers were given to you. [368.4s] And why should you say no to something that is handed to you [374.3s] because you earned it? [376.3s] That's a great question. [377.6s] Good thought. [378.7s] That is a good thought. [380.7s] Well, perhaps another day then. [382.1s] Perhaps another day we'll go out and we'll do the original [384.8s] trek as was made by the pirates of old. [389.1s] Yes. [389.5s] Yes. [389.7s] Yes. [389.9s] Yes. [391.2s] Okay. [391.7s] Great idea. [392.7s] In an effort to get straight to the goods, let's take this [395.6s] line and see where it leads us. [398.2s] See what treasures behold. [399.7s] See what hopes and dreams we are to fulfill from here on out. [403.4s] Cav nudges, bench in the ribs. [405.6s] He said it again. [408.1s] That means that maybe we actually get hopes and dreams. [412.0s] As Ignatius says that and turns and is with even more [417.5s] expediency following along this green dotted line path [421.7s] towards the treasure. [424.0s] Everybody else is left back behind. [426.4s] Gothar and Darryl are trying to keep up as best they can [429.6s] because it's their job to keep them keep them safe. [432.8s] So hopes and dreams are a good thing. [438.8s] It would be bad to leave him out here. [441.9s] Right. [443.5s] Oh, well, we can't leave him out. [445.7s] That wouldn't be wouldn't be great. [447.0s] I don't know. [447.5s] I was just confirming that fact and maybe if nobody else [452.2s] had agreed one of my best customers. [455.7s] Fair, fair, you know, and not a bad guy. [459.1s] Just just a little misguided. [461.4s] That's all he's got some problems. [464.8s] Yeah, I at least need him to make it back to town [468.2s] because there are certain expectations of me coming out [472.1s] here other than me just having a good time. [475.4s] But but yeah, no, we need to make sure that he makes [478.9s] it back to town. [479.6s] Yeah, no. [480.1s] Yeah, of course, I was not. [481.3s] Yeah, I was not inferring that we should leave him to [483.9s] die out here. [484.7s] That would be that would be ridiculous. [487.5s] That would be so silly. [495.0s] Yeah, yeah, we need just adventures on the way and bench [498.5s] picks up his pace a little bit to separate himself [500.5s] from all of you. [501.9s] Expectations like the treasure or what do you mean? [505.3s] Bazaar. [506.4s] Yeah, they're a little bit of that, you know, [510.2s] because I was told this was a pirate treasure and the [515.5s] assumptions that I had made and as to why I was not [518.6s] able to attend some of the advisor meetings for the [522.6s] mayor that there would be some returned funds, [527.4s] whichever was procured. [529.7s] So that being said, if there were to be procured [534.6s] funds, we would find considerably less than what we [540.1s] actually found. [542.6s] So which I hesitate to say in front of an auditor if [548.4s] I'm not mistaken, you just mean like a finder's [552.1s] fee. [553.3s] Yes, that's exactly what it is. [555.5s] I think you're entitled to a certain percentage. [559.6s] Yeah, because you know, there has to be some [562.5s] return to the coffers from which they were stolen from [566.4s] according to the understanding, you know, so if anybody [570.6s] shows back up with any sum, there's an expectation of [576.5s] a percentage of that sum. [579.0s] Now, whatever that sum may be is to be determined. [583.8s] At a later date. [584.4s] If it's 41. [586.1s] Yes, actually, yes, that actually goes really well [590.0s] for nothing like having a capital auditor on the party [594.5s] this. [595.9s] Your services may be very handy. [599.4s] So just to be frank with y'all, you know, I, you [603.1s] know, I was going to mention it once we found the [605.3s] treasure, but once I learned like, oh, that may [607.9s] not be the case. [608.7s] It's like, well, I may have a problem, but I don't [612.0s] want you to think that you have a problem. [615.0s] Okay, sure. [616.5s] Yeah. [618.4s] Bye. [620.0s] Kind of shoot Bonwyn to look like I don't know what [622.2s] the hell he's talking about. [623.1s] I'm really sure I understand, but I mean, Bonwyn [626.4s] just assumes it will make sense as more context [629.8s] is is revealed in the moment. [631.7s] I'm sure it'll click for me. [634.3s] And you all catch up to Ignatius. [637.1s] You've made your way into the mountains at this [639.5s] point is kind of midday. [641.9s] Now you're all sweating buckets because you've [644.5s] been going quite quickly along this green line to [647.4s] make sure that you're making good time. [648.7s] So you could be back if not by the end of the day, [651.6s] then first thing the next day you're following [654.4s] behind him leading up this winding mountain path. [657.8s] You're starting to get the idea that maybe you're [661.4s] you're not falling. [662.7s] You're not seeing any cave entrances. [664.6s] You're not seeing any sign of like a real foot [667.4s] path obviously because you drew the line, but [671.4s] also like maybe Ignatius isn't following this [674.7s] and as you're about to go confront him, you [677.7s] see that he makes it up to this plateau and he's [680.5s] standing there. [681.3s] And as you round the bend to just kind of say, [683.6s] hey, maybe we should turn back. [685.4s] There's like a big Eureka. [686.9s] Like we found it. [688.9s] We found the X or at least where I believe [693.9s] the X is look everybody. [695.4s] There's an entrance to a cave. [698.7s] Okay, great work. [700.9s] Great job Ignatius. [702.0s] Wow. [702.8s] Wow. [703.4s] This is the thrill of the adventure, isn't it? [705.0s] This is this is what they this is what they tell [706.9s] you about in the in the stories. [710.0s] All those all those seafarers, all those river [713.1s] pirates, all those people going out and fighting [716.1s] monsters. [716.8s] That's what this is all about, isn't it? [718.6s] Sure. [718.8s] We've only seen squirrels and rabbits and maybe [720.9s] a few birds, but but like from here on out [724.7s] who knows what's in front of us. [727.7s] I mean the squirrels were pretty terrifying the [729.7s] squirrel. [730.6s] Oh, he missed that you were you were sawing [733.6s] logs. [734.0s] We had it doesn't matter. [736.9s] Was there something scary about the squirrels? [738.7s] I just saw them up in the trees. [740.1s] I'm sure they were clustered into groups, [742.6s] which is kind of unusual from my understanding [744.9s] of squirrels, but then staring at us longingly [747.7s] from a distance. [748.8s] They're saying there's something nefarious [750.7s] about that. [751.1s] You know what? [751.8s] Don't even worry about it. [753.8s] Totally fine. [754.5s] Not a big deal. [755.3s] Onward into the cave and he followed by [758.7s] Daryl and Gothar struck into this cave. [762.2s] You follow obviously. [765.1s] What do we see it? [766.1s] It is like an obvious cave entrance. [768.6s] It is an obvious cave entrance. [771.5s] As you approach you're all looking around [774.7s] trying to figure out like what might be here [776.8s] if there is anything here. [777.9s] So make an investigation role as you're [780.0s] walking in. [781.0s] So say any signs of wildlife or anything [783.4s] like that would be good to note. [786.3s] Oh man, these dice are so bad. [787.9s] I got an eight. [789.2s] It's a it's a one, but it wasn't a [791.4s] crit fail. [792.8s] So wait, you have a minus to your [796.8s] investigation and you're an auditor. [799.9s] Oh, I'm not a good one. [801.9s] No one ever said cab was a good auditor. [803.8s] That's why he keeps getting sent to [806.2s] these far-flung places. [807.8s] Yeah, I feel like you said that out [810.8s] loud at some point, but I forgot it [812.3s] or didn't know cabs like good socially [815.3s] bad at his job. [816.5s] Terrible job. [817.7s] Perfect. [818.3s] Yeah, I do remember you saying that [820.3s] now. [820.7s] He's just sort of like failed upward. [822.7s] Yeah, glorious. [825.5s] Okay. [825.8s] So with an with a one you're happy [829.8s] to be along for the journey with [832.5s] an eight. [833.9s] You see some rough tracks leading [838.3s] to and from the cave with a 16 [843.4s] bond when you're able to see that [845.4s] these tracks, although they are [849.1s] old, they are bear tracks that [852.2s] look like they have come to and [854.1s] from you can't tell what's the [856.2s] most recent is there's some some [858.4s] time that has that has passed. [861.8s] You know, being that you're out [863.0s] there's no snow like it's not [864.5s] hibernation season. [865.8s] So if it were like you might [868.0s] worry about like a sleeping [869.1s] bear in there, but you pretty [871.6s] sure that there's probably no [874.7s] bear at least in the in the [876.6s] phase of this cave. [878.1s] Okay. [880.0s] You all catch up to Ignatius [882.8s] and Gothar and Darryl and you [885.3s] find yourselves in this cave [887.2s] entrance. [888.4s] There isn't any animals in here [893.3s] that you see looking around. [895.5s] There's some piled up bones off [899.1s] in the corner, which looks like [901.1s] they're just small game. [903.3s] There's some sticks and branches [906.9s] that look like they've been [907.8s] dragged up by something and at [910.6s] the back of this cave is what [913.9s] looks like a shaft that goes [919.0s] deeper into the mountain and [920.7s] it looks like it's been like [922.0s] carved. [923.8s] Something has created this [925.1s] shaft. [927.4s] Ignatius doesn't notice that [928.8s] he's too busy like examining [930.5s] the the hardened scat that [932.7s] may that he's finding in the [934.0s] corners on the floor probably [937.1s] spawn when you would be the [938.1s] first one to see this. [939.9s] Well, luckily no bears [941.4s] everyone. [941.9s] I think we can agree that's [943.9s] that's great. [945.8s] Absolutely. [946.6s] Was that a concern? [948.8s] Well, I mean you you're [950.3s] noticing the sign. [951.8s] I saw it some tracks. [952.9s] You know a bear probably [955.2s] comes and goes from here, [956.4s] but that's part of the [958.8s] adventure, right? [960.6s] Just maybe next part of the [962.4s] adventure. [963.0s] I will slow down before going [965.1s] in and get somebody to check [966.3s] for bears next time writing [968.2s] a note. [968.7s] It's a great plan. [969.3s] It's a learning experience, [970.6s] right? [971.0s] Absolutely out on your first [972.7s] adventure. [974.7s] I think that if I notice [977.1s] this, I'm not sure I want [978.9s] to point it out to him. [982.0s] Okay, just why I'm just [983.2s] like making chit chat. [986.2s] Okay, got it. [989.1s] Like I'm thinking I want to [990.4s] get home. [991.2s] I don't really think there's [992.3s] treasure here. [993.4s] What are we getting into? [996.9s] So I'm still contemplating [998.6s] like do I point this out to [999.7s] him and you like go down the [1001.2s] thing and see there's nothing [1002.4s] there or like he's continuing [1005.2s] to look around. [1005.8s] He hasn't noticed go Thor [1008.2s] and Daryl are just following [1009.5s] behind him. [1010.2s] They're not actually looking [1011.2s] around. [1011.7s] They're just like also in [1013.6s] the same boat given some [1017.3s] time you bizarre would be [1023.1s] able to come across it. [1025.0s] So like we'll say that you're [1026.3s] kind of still at the the face [1028.1s] of trying to figure out like [1030.3s] if in fact the bear tracks [1032.1s] as as Bonwyn saying like [1033.8s] clearly no bears here. [1035.3s] So you haven't made it that [1036.2s] deep in but if you were [1038.9s] to venture in you too would [1040.3s] be able to find it and I [1041.4s] feel like cav. [1042.6s] You're kind of playing [1045.0s] watch right now at the at [1046.8s] the face of the at the [1048.2s] face of the cave benches [1049.9s] there too. [1050.8s] He's having a time he [1052.5s] threatened to you know he [1053.8s] brought up the fact that he [1054.7s] might kill this rich person. [1056.2s] So, you know, he's just [1057.1s] playing a little cool right [1058.4s] now just like squirrels [1059.7s] really really freaked him [1061.0s] out. [1062.4s] He's a real city boy really [1063.9s] freaked him out. [1065.9s] I feel like I would maybe [1067.0s] make eye contact like if [1068.9s] if bizarre seems to be like [1070.8s] noticing it I'll be like [1074.0s] should we yeah like mowing [1077.8s] should we tell him like [1080.2s] bizarre would do the same [1081.1s] thing like look over and be [1082.4s] like pointing at it like [1085.8s] hey everybody I found [1087.1s] something interesting over [1088.4s] here and he's often in a [1089.9s] different corner you go [1092.2s] over and sees like it looks [1093.9s] like some sort of oil can [1095.5s] why would there be an oil [1096.7s] can up here he hands it [1099.3s] to you and it is in fact [1100.5s] and it does sound like [1102.2s] it has some oil in there [1103.5s] but it's like a rusted [1104.6s] they you know picture like [1106.2s] Wizard of Oz like that [1107.4s] kind of like sure yeah [1108.8s] with the long straw kind [1110.6s] of end huh well that is [1112.9s] strange tis tis why would [1115.9s] a bear need an oil can [1118.7s] stiff joints. [1120.6s] Oh touche. [1122.3s] Yep. [1122.6s] Yep. [1123.0s] I didn't think of that [1124.6s] perhaps the bear has [1125.8s] osteoporosis of some [1127.3s] sort and this is just [1129.5s] something to lube up them [1130.8s] joints. [1132.2s] Maybe while these guys are [1133.2s] having this great meeting [1135.3s] I settle up next to [1138.3s] Bizarre like should we [1140.3s] should we tell him or [1142.7s] should we just go or I [1144.7s] mean the worst thing that [1145.5s] could happen is he goes [1148.0s] down there himself and [1149.5s] then if he doesn't make [1151.1s] it back then that's not [1151.8s] really our fault but I [1153.6s] mean you're right there [1155.6s] could be there could [1156.7s] actually be treasure and [1158.0s] I know you kind of need [1161.0s] that yeah I mean it [1163.4s] would help I've been [1165.8s] giving a lot of rash [1166.7s] reasoning for things to [1167.7s] the mayor recently and I [1168.8s] feel like I kind of need [1169.9s] like something tangible [1171.2s] this time but again I [1174.0s] don't want that to be [1174.8s] anybody else's problem [1176.0s] then if I need to make [1178.2s] something happen I will [1180.4s] I mean we're already [1181.2s] here right. [1182.5s] Yeah. [1183.5s] You know we yeah yeah [1185.1s] we've already I mean the [1185.8s] shop's not opening [1186.6s] today. [1187.9s] Yeah. [1188.8s] Yeah. [1189.3s] Okay. [1190.5s] Oh my goodness I just [1192.0s] noticed something for the [1193.2s] very first time over here. [1195.3s] What is it? [1195.9s] What did you find? [1197.1s] Come come take a look. [1199.1s] Yes. [1199.5s] Oh my goodness. [1201.2s] Look at this. [1202.1s] Look at this everybody [1203.0s] would you get your eyes [1203.8s] on this one. [1204.4s] This is a cave that [1205.5s] goes even deeper into [1207.4s] the mountain. [1208.5s] Oh I'm so excited. [1210.4s] Are we going down there [1211.7s] who's going first? [1212.8s] I can't see the bottom [1214.0s] it seems like it's very [1215.0s] far down there. [1215.9s] Oh I'm just as giddy [1217.3s] as a schoolboy. [1218.8s] Can I see anything [1219.9s] into it? [1220.4s] I do have dark vision [1222.8s] also you know [1224.7s] dwarf I'm good at [1226.3s] caves. [1228.4s] Yeah I mean you're [1229.9s] inspiration when it comes [1231.1s] to caves. [1232.5s] I know what caves do. [1234.4s] Yeah you look down [1235.3s] and as your eyes are [1236.4s] adjusting you don't [1238.0s] really see anything [1238.8s] but then they become [1239.8s] clearer. [1241.1s] About 15 feet down [1242.7s] you see what looks like [1244.6s] a metal cage [1246.5s] that comes into view. [1247.9s] There is look like [1249.5s] some crude handholds [1251.4s] on the wall on the [1252.6s] opposite side. [1253.6s] You could somebody [1254.6s] could reach it [1256.7s] but yeah there's a [1257.8s] there's a there's a cage. [1260.1s] I do have cave [1262.3s] but it's actually called [1263.3s] stone cunning. [1265.4s] So if I made [1266.9s] an intelligence check [1268.9s] about the origin of [1270.5s] stonework I'm proficient [1272.3s] in history. [1273.7s] So like [1275.7s] I would be good at [1276.6s] recognizing if this [1278.0s] was something [1280.6s] something dwarven [1281.8s] or that [1283.1s] that isn't just a [1284.5s] weird creepy one [1286.2s] off cage buried [1287.7s] in the mountains. [1289.0s] Much like Ken's job [1290.5s] is just beach. [1292.3s] Yeah my job is just [1293.7s] cave. [1295.4s] We're finding out so much [1296.5s] about our characters. [1298.4s] Okay is there a role [1300.0s] to that or is it just [1300.9s] a known thing? [1301.8s] It's a history check. [1303.5s] All right well give me [1304.3s] a history check. [1310.0s] Sure okay. [1312.4s] You look down [1314.3s] you you can immediately [1315.6s] sense that this has been [1316.6s] carved not just weather [1317.8s] worn this this [1319.2s] shaft that goes down [1320.3s] into the tunnel [1321.8s] but as soon as you see [1323.3s] the cage itself [1325.1s] like you get a [1326.3s] distinct sense that [1327.4s] this is carved by [1328.9s] human or dwarf [1330.0s] or some some sort [1332.1s] for what looks to be [1334.1s] like a mining cage. [1335.6s] So there could be a [1337.0s] pulley system inside [1338.7s] you don't like [1340.9s] it goes up a ways [1342.6s] to you don't really see [1344.2s] any fixed mechanisms [1346.1s] but there could be something [1347.0s] inside that allows movement [1348.4s] for it. [1349.8s] But yeah that's the sense [1351.0s] you get. [1352.4s] So there is a purpose [1353.5s] not just a weird cage [1354.7s] in a mountain. [1355.5s] Perfect I feel better [1356.5s] already. [1357.8s] I think this [1359.6s] was some kind of mining [1360.8s] operation which would [1361.8s] explain the oil [1363.0s] and so I don't know [1364.1s] if that cage [1365.5s] moves. [1366.4s] I'm not sure how related [1367.7s] this would be to the river [1369.0s] pirates and a treasure. [1370.5s] Perhaps the river pirates [1372.4s] moonlighted as as [1374.1s] miners. [1376.7s] You have to diversify [1378.1s] your income portfolio. [1380.5s] I mean a tough side hustle [1382.2s] mining is a tough side [1383.8s] hustle. But when the river [1384.8s] runs a little lower hard [1386.1s] to get those ships out [1387.7s] maybe they retreat to the [1389.0s] mountains to dig deep [1391.9s] mining season. [1392.8s] Yes. [1393.5s] Yes mining season. [1394.9s] Aha. [1396.0s] Yes. [1396.3s] Pirate in the summer [1397.3s] miner in the winter. [1401.1s] Well because like where do [1401.9s] they go? [1402.8s] Here apparently [1404.8s] not for some time [1406.2s] because of the bears [1407.8s] obviously. [1409.0s] Right. Right. [1411.2s] I'm going to go see if we [1412.0s] brought rope. [1412.7s] I'll be right back. [1415.0s] I mean I definitely have [1416.1s] rope. [1416.5s] Absolutely I have rope. [1418.1s] I don't have rope. [1420.0s] I have a bag of sand. [1422.0s] I don't know why I brought [1422.9s] that. [1423.1s] But you can fashion into [1424.4s] a magical rope. [1425.9s] No I can throw it in [1426.8s] somebody's eyes and run [1427.8s] away. [1428.4s] Oh smart. [1429.0s] Yeah that's really good. [1429.9s] Also it's also really [1431.1s] helpful. [1431.4s] Flying magical [1432.1s] pockets in. [1434.7s] And I said [1436.1s] hey [1440.1s] hey [1443.2s] I said hey [1446.3s] this is the middle. [1448.7s] Welcome to the middle [1449.6s] everybody. [1450.4s] How you doing? [1452.3s] Oh man. [1454.5s] Dang good. [1455.2s] Amy how are you enjoying [1456.6s] Charis's adventure during [1458.2s] this adventure? [1459.5s] Don't speak in specifics [1461.4s] but just vagaries. [1463.0s] What's Charis's mindset? [1466.0s] You know [1468.2s] determined. [1469.7s] Oh I like that. [1471.5s] And adventurous. [1473.0s] OK good. [1473.9s] That's where she's at right [1475.1s] now. [1475.7s] This aligns with the [1476.8s] potential idea I have [1478.5s] in my head of where [1480.9s] Charis slash Alydin is. [1482.6s] So that's perfect. [1483.8s] Love it. [1484.1s] Joke's on you. [1484.7s] I already know. [1486.3s] Excellent. [1487.1s] I can't wait to find out [1488.2s] then. [1490.1s] But we're having a great [1490.8s] time and [1492.4s] we would love for you [1494.0s] to hang out with us [1495.5s] more. [1497.3s] Tom tell them about [1498.5s] Patreon.

[1647.0s] You should do [1647.5s] all the things [1648.1s] but you don't [1648.5s] have to. [1648.9s] Or like pace [1649.4s] yourself because [1650.2s] they're going to [1650.7s] be there. [1651.6s] That's true. [1652.3s] Let's get back [1653.0s] to this adventure [1653.7s] now as we [1655.1s] have filled [1655.9s] enough time. [1657.8s] We did it. [1658.6s] That's right. [1659.7s] And didn't it all [1660.3s] talk about [1661.0s] cyberpunk red. [1662.1s] Oh my God. [1663.3s] Cyberpunk reds [1664.5s] coming around [1666.8s] the bend this [1667.8s] entire time. [1668.8s] I'm sitting [1669.3s] here going I [1670.0s] thought when [1671.3s] are they going [1671.8s] to bring up [1672.3s] cyberpunk? [1674.7s] When did they get [1675.3s] to the fireworks [1676.3s] factory? [1676.9s] It's like a [1677.3s] booster gang or [1678.2s] tearing around [1678.9s] the corner [1679.5s] slinging lead. [1680.2s] You never saw [1680.9s] it come and [1681.4s] here's cyberpunk [1682.3s] red another [1684.8s] new show [1685.2s] coming for you. [1685.6s] It's going to [1685.9s] be great. [1686.3s] Kyle's running [1687.0s] it and then we [1687.7s] can't we can't [1688.5s] wait for you to [1689.0s] hear session [1690.0s] zero be [1690.5s] coming out [1691.0s] this month. [1691.4s] We're just [1691.7s] building characters [1692.5s] and getting [1692.9s] to know the [1693.2s] world and [1694.0s] then we're [1694.3s] jumping into [1695.2s] it and it's [1695.7s] going to be [1696.3s] a blast. [1697.6s] It better be [1698.1s] Kyle. [1698.5s] Definitely. [1699.0s] Oh, [1699.7s] it's going to [1700.1s] be. [1700.7s] I'm so [1701.2s] pumped like [1702.5s] y'all [1702.9s] y'all don't [1703.3s] know. [1703.7s] Okay, [1704.1s] good. [1704.3s] So good. [1705.6s] Okay, [1706.5s] that's the [1707.0s] end of the [1707.3s] middle. [1707.6s] Thanks for [1707.9s] real this [1708.3s] time for [1708.7s] wheels now. [1709.7s] Bye. [1710.1s] Love you. [1710.4s] Bye. [1713.0s] Okay, [1713.3s] I guess [1713.8s] we're going to [1715.3s] we're going to [1715.6s] go down [1716.2s] there or [1716.9s] who's got [1717.2s] good upper [1717.8s] body strength [1718.7s] that looks [1719.1s] like there [1719.4s] might be a [1719.9s] bit of a rock [1720.3s] climb down. [1721.0s] I don't have [1721.4s] somebody said [1722.3s] upper body [1722.9s] strength. [1723.5s] Yeah, [1724.2s] I've got [1724.6s] this. [1724.9s] I've got [1725.2s] these giant [1725.8s] guns here [1726.6s] and I've [1727.0s] I've made [1728.2s] it less [1728.7s] weird for [1729.1s] myself from [1730.2s] our previous [1730.7s] conversation [1731.5s] so I can [1731.9s] join the [1732.2s] group again [1733.0s] and I've [1733.6s] calmed down [1735.0s] now that [1735.4s] there's a [1735.7s] purpose for [1736.3s] being here. [1739.1s] Yes, [1739.5s] I could [1739.8s] go climb [1740.2s] down into [1740.6s] the cage [1741.1s] if everybody [1741.8s] is wanting [1742.6s] to go [1743.0s] down into [1744.1s] the cage. [1745.5s] I'm curious [1746.1s] what's in [1746.5s] there. [1746.7s] There might [1747.0s] be a [1747.2s] mechanism [1747.8s] or something [1748.3s] that would [1748.8s] that would [1749.1s] lower it [1749.6s] down [1749.9s] deeper or [1752.2s] Okay, [1752.6s] let's [1753.0s] go. [1754.5s] Bench is [1754.9s] going to [1755.1s] roll [1755.8s] athletics. [1757.3s] He [1759.1s] he's [1759.3s] tall. [1759.6s] He's a [1760.1s] big guy. [1760.7s] He can [1761.0s] reach [1761.2s] across [1761.6s] and grab [1762.1s] the the [1762.5s] handholds [1763.0s] is like [1763.3s] maybe [1763.6s] oh, [1764.2s] hold on [1764.7s] as he [1765.0s] does that [1765.3s] maybe we [1765.7s] just tie [1766.1s] me off. [1767.3s] That's a [1767.5s] great idea. [1768.0s] I was [1768.3s] going to [1768.6s] suggest [1769.0s] I was [1769.2s] just going [1769.5s] to go [1769.8s] for it [1770.3s] because I [1770.6s] did so [1771.0s] well on [1771.3s] that rope [1771.8s] ladder [1772.2s] back at [1772.6s] the audition. [1774.8s] But [1775.5s] maybe [1776.0s] maybe [1776.3s] yeah, [1776.8s] I'd [1777.0s] feel more [1777.4s] comfortable [1779.1s] just like [1779.6s] a plummet. [1780.4s] Perfect. [1780.9s] Perfect. [1781.3s] All right. [1782.6s] Okay. [1782.9s] I am [1783.2s] pretty heavy. [1783.9s] So like [1784.3s] maybe [1784.7s] three [1784.9s] or four [1785.5s] of you [1786.4s] holding [1786.8s] the other [1787.2s] side [1788.6s] and then [1788.9s] it would [1789.1s] be good. [1789.5s] Okay, [1790.0s] he [1790.5s] reaches [1790.9s] out. [1791.3s] She's [1791.7s] tied off. [1792.4s] You're [1792.6s] all bracing [1793.3s] and holding [1794.4s] and he [1795.0s] begins [1795.4s] to move [1795.7s] down [1796.0s] and you [1796.3s] hear his [1796.7s] feet [1797.2s] after he [1797.6s] disappears [1798.1s] out of [1798.4s] you [1809.3s] It's a little [1810.0s] tight [1810.4s] fit. [1811.2s] I don't [1812.7s] okay. [1813.6s] I'm [1813.8s] inside. [1815.1s] I see [1816.4s] here's [1816.7s] what I see. [1817.1s] I see [1817.4s] more [1817.7s] cage [1818.7s] on the [1819.0s] side. [1819.4s] There's a [1819.7s] big [1819.9s] lever [1820.9s] and there's [1821.3s] a looks [1822.0s] like a [1822.3s] chain [1823.0s] in the [1823.3s] middle [1823.7s] here. [1825.3s] Where does [1825.6s] the chain [1826.0s] go? [1826.2s] Chain [1826.5s] goes [1826.8s] down. [1828.5s] Chain [1829.0s] goes [1829.3s] down. [1829.8s] Oh, [1830.1s] chain [1830.4s] goes [1830.8s] up [1831.1s] and to [1831.3s] the side. [1831.9s] It looks [1832.3s] like [1832.5s] this is [1832.9s] the top. [1834.3s] So [1837.3s] so I [1837.6s] could [1838.5s] I don't [1838.7s] want to pull the [1839.2s] lever yet because I'm [1840.1s] tied to the [1840.6s] rope. [1841.3s] Yeah, [1842.3s] good [1842.6s] good plan. [1843.4s] Is it [1844.2s] rusty? [1844.9s] How's it [1845.3s] seem? [1846.0s] Oh, [1846.4s] well, [1846.6s] yeah, [1846.9s] it's a little [1847.5s] rust like [1848.0s] I haven't [1848.4s] been [1848.6s] a [1849.3s] she [1849.8s] got it [1850.2s] here. [1852.4s] Yeah, [1852.9s] yeah, [1853.2s] yeah, [1853.5s] it's [1854.8s] I don't [1855.4s] know what's [1855.7s] going to [1855.9s] happen [1856.4s] if we [1856.9s] pull this [1857.3s] lever, [1857.7s] but like it's [1858.3s] a little [1858.6s] rusty, [1859.1s] but like [1860.1s] I've seen [1860.5s] worse. [1861.7s] Well, [1862.1s] hold on one [1862.6s] second and I [1863.4s] I'm going to [1863.7s] go grab the [1864.2s] oil can and [1864.7s] be like [1865.1s] catch. [1866.4s] Yeah. [1867.4s] Oh, [1869.0s] thanks. [1869.5s] Yeah. [1874.2s] Well, [1874.5s] that that [1876.1s] greased it up. [1878.7s] Does anybody [1879.1s] want to come [1879.5s] down with [1879.9s] me before [1880.7s] I pull this [1881.2s] lever? [1881.5s] Am I just [1882.0s] going to [1882.2s] go by myself? [1884.1s] Well, [1884.2s] is the [1884.5s] room? [1884.9s] It seemed [1885.2s] like you [1885.6s] are pretty [1885.9s] tight in [1886.4s] there bench. [1886.9s] Well, [1887.2s] I'm a [1887.5s] big guy. [1888.1s] Like it's [1888.5s] probably room [1889.3s] for like [1889.7s] four normal [1890.5s] sized [1891.6s] people probably [1893.3s] two other [1893.9s] people with [1894.5s] me. [1895.5s] Okay. [1895.9s] Okay. [1896.4s] I mean I'm [1897.2s] a lot shorter [1897.9s] than you [1898.6s] and like [1899.4s] you were [1899.8s] skinny too [1900.7s] Bizards. [1901.3s] So like [1901.8s] maybe we [1902.3s] can squeeze [1902.9s] all four [1903.4s] of us in [1903.8s] here. [1904.9s] If you [1906.3s] can make [1906.6s] sure to [1906.9s] catch me [1907.5s] if I [1907.8s] fall, [1908.2s] I'm [1909.3s] fairly [1909.7s] tired and [1910.9s] already, [1911.6s] you know, [1912.1s] not made [1912.9s] for the [1913.4s] the climbing [1914.0s] part. [1914.9s] So [1916.2s] I'm [1916.5s] likely [1917.0s] to fall [1917.5s] if I [1917.8s] try to [1918.1s] climb [1918.4s] down there. [1918.8s] So [1920.1s] we'll see [1920.5s] what happens. [1921.9s] Adventure. [1922.5s] I mean, [1922.7s] we'll keep [1923.1s] the rope. [1923.9s] I think [1924.5s] we'll keep [1925.2s] the rope and [1925.7s] then you [1926.0s] can kind of [1926.4s] work down [1926.8s] the rope. [1927.5s] I mean, [1927.9s] you're [1928.2s] I think you're [1928.7s] light. [1929.1s] And your [1929.5s] hand can [1930.1s] catch you. [1930.6s] No. [1933.3s] Why not? [1935.0s] I [1935.4s] don't [1935.9s] weigh [1936.2s] just [1936.6s] five pounds. [1937.3s] There is [1937.7s] a limitation [1938.4s] to magic. [1938.9s] You [1939.0s] understand [1939.9s] that it's [1940.2s] not [1940.5s] just [1941.7s] the ad. [1942.2s] No, [1942.4s] okay, [1942.7s] of course [1943.1s] not. [1944.1s] No, [1944.4s] I'm [1944.5s] not going [1945.0s] to use [1945.3s] my [1946.5s] very [1946.8s] simple [1947.1s] spell [1947.4s] to try [1947.7s] to catch [1948.1s] my [1948.6s] my [1948.8s] body. [1949.6s] No, [1949.9s] that's [1950.1s] not how [1950.4s] it works. [1950.9s] Okay. [1951.2s] Yeah, [1951.4s] get the [1951.7s] rope ready [1952.2s] and I'll [1952.7s] I'll [1953.0s] go down [1953.4s] first. [1954.3s] Yeah, [1954.5s] we'll [1958.2s] Okay. [1959.4s] There's [1959.8s] there's [1960.1s] enough time [1960.6s] here that [1961.6s] we can [1962.2s] each take [1962.7s] time to [1963.6s] kind of [1963.9s] go down [1964.4s] here without [1965.0s] any [1965.2s] additional [1965.7s] support [1966.5s] or worry [1967.3s] that you're [1967.7s] all going [1967.9s] to fall. [1969.7s] Bench is [1970.1s] ready to [1970.5s] catch you [1971.0s] if you [1971.2s] slip. [1972.4s] We've [1972.6s] got you [1973.2s] tied off [1973.7s] to ropes. [1974.4s] Like [1974.6s] there's [1974.9s] enough [1975.5s] good things [1976.0s] here. [1976.4s] I don't [1976.6s] think we [1976.9s] need a [1977.1s] roll. [1977.4s] So [1978.7s] I [1978.9s] assume [1979.9s] if [1980.2s] we're [1980.4s] talking [1980.9s] four [1981.3s] of us, [1982.0s] obviously [1982.6s] it's going [1982.9s] to be [1983.1s] the four [1983.5s] of us [1983.8s] here [1984.6s] and [1984.8s] Ignatius [1985.3s] can [1988.2s] he had [1988.7s] kind of, [1989.4s] you know, [1990.0s] gone [1990.5s] back and [1991.2s] the bodyguards [1991.9s] were with [1992.3s] him. [1993.8s] I mean he [1994.3s] was going [1994.6s] to send us [1995.1s] anyway, [1995.5s] right? [1996.1s] Yeah, [1996.6s] absolutely. [1998.2s] You [1998.4s] all find [1999.0s] yourselves [2000.6s] tightly [2001.2s] packed [2001.9s] inside of [2002.6s] this [2003.2s] cage [2004.7s] in [2005.3s] this [2005.6s] mineshaft. [2007.7s] Bench [2008.8s] is like, [2009.1s] okay, [2009.7s] so I [2010.1s] can't [2010.3s] quite [2010.6s] reach [2010.9s] the [2011.1s] lever [2011.5s] anymore. [2012.1s] If you [2012.4s] want to [2018.3s] Luckily you guys have been skipping leg day. [2019.8s] There's kind of [2020.4s] spacious down here. [2021.4s] Yeah, [2021.6s] right. [2022.2s] Yeah. [2022.6s] No, [2023.2s] I've got to [2023.6s] work on that. [2024.2s] I don't [2024.6s] want to [2025.3s] don't want to fall [2025.8s] too far [2026.2s] behind. [2026.6s] All right, [2026.9s] pull the [2027.2s] lever, [2027.5s] Baldwin. [2029.1s] I'm assuming [2029.8s] it's like, [2030.6s] yeah, [2030.9s] like in the middle [2031.6s] of the floor, [2032.4s] like a [2033.3s] yeah, [2033.9s] yeah. [2035.1s] Okay, [2035.7s] cool. [2036.4s] Well, [2036.8s] I'm [2037.1s] gonna [2038.4s] try to [2038.9s] move the [2039.4s] lever [2040.7s] a little [2041.1s] bit. [2041.8s] All right. [2043.2s] Make a [2044.0s] strength [2044.6s] check [2045.2s] for me, [2045.7s] please. [2046.9s] Am I [2047.5s] strong? [2048.1s] I do [2049.9s] work with [2050.3s] heavy [2050.6s] tools all [2051.4s] day. [2051.8s] You do. [2054.9s] You don't have to [2055.3s] be strong to [2055.8s] be strong. [2056.9s] Nat 20. [2058.1s] Damn. [2058.7s] Strong as [2059.1s] shit. [2059.6s] All right. [2060.8s] So yeah, [2061.4s] you go to [2061.8s] move it. [2062.1s] This plays exactly [2062.7s] into my [2063.3s] blacksmithing [2064.3s] muscles. [2065.5s] I really [2066.0s] like a [2066.4s] Rosie the [2066.9s] Riveter [2067.4s] type situation [2068.3s] going on here. [2071.1s] So you [2071.8s] begin to [2072.3s] move the [2072.7s] lever [2073.4s] and so [2073.7s] it's stuck. [2074.5s] It's [2075.6s] a little [2076.0s] greased [2076.4s] and bench is [2076.9s] like, [2077.1s] just [2079.1s] and he [2079.4s] puts a [2079.6s] little more [2079.9s] oil on [2080.4s] it and then [2081.1s] easily. [2082.3s] It [2082.7s] moves for [2083.5s] you, [2084.6s] which [2085.5s] you hear the [2086.0s] chain [2086.5s] begin to [2086.9s] go like [2088.3s] and you [2088.6s] begin to [2088.9s] descend. [2090.2s] You [2090.6s] pull it [2090.9s] back to [2091.3s] stop [2092.5s] so you [2092.7s] don't [2093.0s] just like [2094.4s] go [2094.6s] fast [2095.3s] or [2095.4s] plummet [2095.9s] or anything, [2096.5s] but then [2096.9s] you do [2097.2s] have [2097.4s] control [2098.0s] over it [2098.5s] as you [2098.9s] go. [2100.6s] Okay, [2101.0s] here [2101.2s] we go. [2103.9s] And [2104.3s] you, [2104.6s] Bonwyn [2105.4s] moving [2105.7s] the [2105.8s] lever [2106.7s] begin to [2107.1s] move [2107.3s] down [2107.6s] through [2107.9s] this shaft. [2109.3s] The [2109.4s] chain [2109.7s] going [2111.0s] up behind [2111.7s] you and [2112.3s] it [2113.2s] is going [2113.8s] into [2114.3s] the side [2115.0s] of this [2115.5s] this mountain, [2116.1s] but this [2116.4s] whole [2117.1s] machine [2117.7s] is going [2118.2s] down. [2119.8s] You [2120.1s] move [2120.5s] down [2122.2s] some [2122.6s] way, [2123.5s] somebody [2123.9s] roll a [2124.2s] survival [2125.1s] who [2125.5s] you think [2126.0s] would be [2126.4s] paying attention [2127.3s] to how [2127.8s] deep [2128.1s] you're [2128.3s] going [2129.0s] if anybody [2129.6s] is actually [2130.1s] paying [2130.3s] attention. [2131.9s] I feel [2132.2s] like if [2132.6s] I'm in [2132.9s] the middle [2133.4s] controlling [2133.9s] the thing, [2134.3s] I can't [2134.7s] even see [2135.2s] anything. [2135.8s] Yeah, [2136.3s] because I'm [2136.7s] surrounded. [2138.9s] So, [2139.5s] not me. [2140.8s] I would be [2141.3s] looking down [2142.0s] just out of [2142.7s] concern of [2143.4s] being in an [2143.9s] old, [2144.2s] rusty [2145.5s] cage. [2145.9s] Yeah, this was a [2146.2s] bad choice [2146.8s] we've made. [2147.5s] We went, [2148.5s] we found an [2149.1s] old, [2149.4s] abandoned mine [2151.0s] cart and [2151.9s] just got in it. [2152.7s] Let's do that. [2153.6s] With that being said, [2154.6s] even just [2155.4s] looking down [2156.1s] and trying to [2156.7s] be like, [2157.0s] am I going to [2157.5s] live or [2158.1s] die in this [2158.7s] thing? [2159.3s] I got a 16 [2160.3s] on survival. [2161.9s] Okay, [2162.4s] okay. [2163.7s] And, [2163.8s] Cav, [2164.1s] you're just [2164.4s] along for the [2164.9s] ride right now? [2165.9s] Cav's kind of [2166.5s] looking like [2167.2s] back the [2167.7s] way they came. [2169.5s] Okay. [2170.2s] So, [2170.5s] you're [2170.9s] paying attention to [2171.5s] how deep [2171.9s] you're going. [2173.7s] Bizard [2174.7s] and Cav, [2175.2s] you look [2175.7s] back [2176.2s] up. [2177.0s] You see [2177.4s] Ignatius [2177.9s] pop their [2178.3s] head over [2178.9s] just quickly [2179.7s] and you [2180.0s] scream down, [2180.7s] hey, [2181.3s] you, [2181.7s] you left [2182.1s] without me. [2184.2s] We'll send [2184.7s] the next one [2185.2s] up for you. [2186.1s] Oh, [2187.0s] oh, [2187.4s] okay, [2187.9s] great. [2188.8s] Well, [2189.0s] we'll just [2189.4s] wait here [2189.8s] patiently then. [2191.1s] Hope nothing [2191.8s] exciting happens. [2192.9s] Don't want to [2193.2s] miss out. [2194.5s] His voice is [2195.1s] getting quieter [2195.8s] the further [2196.3s] down you're [2196.7s] going. [2197.9s] Bizard, [2198.3s] you notice [2198.8s] that you've [2199.1s] gone down [2199.8s] or can [2200.5s] roughly [2201.0s] judge that [2201.5s] you've [2201.7s] gone down [2202.2s] about [2202.5s] a hundred [2203.0s] feet [2203.4s] when [2204.1s] the [2205.1s] the shaft [2206.1s] opens up. [2206.9s] It still [2207.4s] continues [2208.1s] to [2208.6s] go down [2209.1s] into the [2209.4s] mountain, [2209.7s] but opens [2210.2s] up and there [2210.6s] are two [2210.9s] pathways [2211.7s] on [2211.9s] either side. [2213.4s] Bonwyn, [2213.8s] you see [2214.2s] this as [2214.5s] well, [2214.8s] even though [2215.2s] there's [2215.4s] lots of [2215.7s] legs around [2216.3s] you. [2217.0s] You are [2217.3s] able to [2217.6s] stop it [2218.1s] there if [2218.5s] you want to [2218.8s] take a [2219.1s] look down [2219.7s] either way [2220.3s] or see [2220.7s] if you [2220.9s] can see [2221.4s] anything [2221.8s] down either [2222.2s] way. [2223.5s] Yeah, [2223.8s] definitely, [2224.6s] definitely [2225.1s] going to [2225.3s] stop [2225.6s] here. [2226.5s] Anybody see [2227.1s] anything? [2229.9s] A little too [2230.3s] dark for [2230.7s] me. [2231.6s] Need a [2231.9s] torch. [2232.2s] I have [2232.5s] dark vision. [2233.8s] Russ, [2234.1s] can I [2234.4s] see any? [2234.9s] Yes, [2235.9s] if you have dark vision. [2237.4s] I also have [2238.3s] dark vision. [2239.0s] Okay, [2239.4s] so the two [2239.8s] dark visions [2240.6s] roll [2241.1s] an investigation. [2243.1s] They'll [2243.3s] say left [2243.9s] and right. [2244.4s] Who's [2244.6s] looking left? [2245.2s] Who's [2245.4s] looking right? [2246.2s] Cap's [2246.6s] strong point. [2248.4s] That's a [2248.6s] nine. [2249.7s] Nineteen. [2250.7s] I'll be [2251.1s] looking left. [2252.5s] I'll be [2252.8s] looking right then. [2254.8s] This is my [2255.2s] new favorite die, [2256.0s] and now I've [2256.5s] just jinxed [2257.0s] it by saying [2257.6s] that, [2257.8s] but it's [2258.1s] been rolling [2258.5s] real good. [2260.5s] Okay, [2261.1s] Cav, [2261.4s] you look [2261.7s] down, [2262.2s] and you [2262.5s] can see [2263.0s] just about [2263.4s] to the [2263.7s] end where [2264.2s] there's [2264.4s] like, [2265.1s] it's [2266.0s] dark, [2266.5s] but you [2266.8s] can see [2267.1s] like the [2267.6s] the way [2267.9s] you're [2268.1s] looking [2268.8s] ends [2270.6s] without [2271.4s] much. [2271.8s] You see [2272.2s] like a [2272.5s] loose [2272.8s] tool, [2273.5s] like a [2273.8s] pickaxe [2274.5s] and a [2274.7s] hammer, [2275.2s] but otherwise [2276.7s] nothing [2277.0s] down the [2277.4s] way you're [2277.7s] looking. [2279.0s] Carla, [2280.0s] nothing [2280.4s] for the [2280.7s] first little [2281.1s] ways, [2281.3s] but then [2281.6s] there's [2282.4s] what you [2282.8s] can see [2283.5s] is a [2285.3s] you make [2285.8s] out as [2286.3s] somewhat of a [2287.0s] clearing, [2287.7s] and inside [2288.3s] this clearing [2288.9s] it looks [2289.3s] like there [2289.9s] are [2291.7s] large [2292.4s] wooden [2292.9s] structures. [2294.6s] Well, [2294.8s] there's [2295.1s] definitely [2296.6s] something [2297.0s] down that [2297.6s] way. [2299.7s] It's not a [2300.1s] sign that [2300.6s] says [2301.4s] pirate [2301.8s] treasure, [2302.4s] but it's [2302.8s] something. [2303.6s] I mean, [2303.9s] we should [2305.7s] go look, [2306.2s] right? [2308.2s] Yeah, [2308.6s] that makes [2309.1s] sense. [2309.8s] Okay. [2311.2s] I believe [2311.9s] you. [2313.9s] Did we [2314.2s] bring any [2314.9s] torches? [2317.1s] Bench is [2317.5s] looking through [2318.0s] his bag. [2318.8s] I've got a [2319.2s] candle. [2320.8s] Yeah, [2321.0s] candle, [2321.5s] candle will [2322.0s] work. [2322.4s] Candle's [2322.8s] great. [2324.0s] Yeah, [2324.2s] I can, [2324.5s] I can make a [2325.0s] candle work. [2326.2s] Great. [2326.6s] Here's a, [2327.0s] here's a [2327.3s] candle for [2327.9s] you. [2329.7s] So there's a, [2330.4s] there's a [2331.0s] door on [2331.6s] either side of [2332.3s] this cage. [2334.0s] You get [2334.5s] out and [2335.0s] you're [2335.2s] walking down [2336.1s] and you [2336.5s] make your [2336.8s] way to [2337.2s] this clearing. [2339.4s] Carla, [2339.8s] roll me [2340.4s] 2D6, [2341.3s] please. [2345.2s] Uh, [2345.7s] one and [2346.3s] a three. [2347.7s] Okay. [2350.1s] You [2350.3s] enter [2351.1s] this, [2352.9s] this [2353.6s] cavern that [2354.2s] opens up. [2355.4s] There is [2356.5s] another, [2358.0s] on the other [2358.4s] side, [2358.7s] you can see [2359.2s] that there is [2359.8s] what looks like [2360.5s] another shaft, [2361.8s] but in [2362.2s] between all [2362.9s] of that, [2363.3s] there are [2364.2s] wooden and [2365.0s] metal [2365.4s] structures. [2366.3s] They [2366.6s] look like [2367.1s] there may [2367.6s] be, [2370.4s] actually, [2370.7s] roll history [2371.5s] for me [2372.0s] as well. [2374.7s] Oh boy. [2375.8s] Well, [2375.9s] that's [2376.2s] poor. [2377.1s] That's [2377.4s] a four, [2378.9s] because it's [2379.2s] not [2379.5s] cave [2380.1s] history. [2380.7s] I am, [2381.1s] I'm [2381.3s] pretty, [2382.0s] pretty [2382.3s] cave-focused, [2383.2s] my [2383.5s] knowledge. [2384.2s] Yeah. [2385.5s] Everybody [2386.0s] can go [2386.4s] investigate [2387.1s] these. [2388.9s] I'll do so. [2389.5s] I can [2389.8s] either [2390.1s] roll investigation [2391.2s] or [2391.5s] history. [2392.6s] We'll [2392.7s] give you [2393.4s] everybody [2394.0s] another [2394.3s] chance there. [2394.9s] You [2395.0s] don't [2395.2s] know what [2395.5s] they are [2395.8s] at first [2396.3s] glance, [2396.7s] but [2397.0s] you [2397.1s] history. [2397.7s] That's [2398.7s] much nicer [2399.3s] for [2399.5s] Cav. [2400.1s] Yeah. [2400.4s] What, [2400.6s] minus [2401.0s] two isn't [2401.4s] good for [2401.8s] you? [2402.1s] It's [2402.4s] not [2402.6s] great. [2403.4s] That's [2403.6s] a 17. [2405.9s] History, [2406.4s] that is [2406.7s] a [2407.1s] 25. [2409.3s] Damn. [2410.9s] We got [2411.2s] that [2411.4s] candle lit. [2412.4s] That's [2412.6s] right. [2412.9s] Now we can [2413.3s] read [2413.5s] these [2413.9s] books, [2414.3s] y'all. [2414.7s] Now he [2415.0s] knows what's [2415.5s] up. [2416.0s] Well, [2416.1s] that's [2416.3s] what you [2416.6s] learn at [2416.9s] Bernhard [2417.3s] Swans. [2418.5s] So you're [2418.8s] going up [2419.2s] to these, [2419.6s] and maybe [2420.1s] it's [2420.3s] just the [2420.9s] the air [2421.3s] down here, [2421.9s] Bonwyn. [2422.5s] It takes [2422.8s] you a [2423.0s] minute, [2423.3s] but as [2423.6s] soon as [2425.1s] you're [2425.4s] able to [2426.4s] also [2426.8s] investigate [2427.4s] these, [2427.7s] like you, [2428.4s] you all [2428.9s] begin to [2429.2s] get it, [2429.5s] but [2429.7s] Blizzard, [2430.0s] you get it [2430.5s] first, [2431.2s] is that [2431.9s] these [2433.9s] large [2434.6s] mining [2435.1s] tools, [2435.7s] like the [2436.2s] closer, [2436.7s] you're [2436.9s] able to [2437.3s] determine [2437.8s] that one [2438.1s] of them [2438.4s] is a [2438.7s] large [2439.1s] auger. [2441.5s] Also [2442.1s] has [2442.4s] rusting [2442.9s] to it. [2443.5s] The [2443.6s] wood [2444.0s] is [2444.1s] broken [2444.5s] in some [2444.9s] places. [2445.5s] Looks [2445.7s] like they [2446.0s] could be [2446.3s] repaired [2447.1s] or [2447.2s] repurposed, [2448.9s] but [2449.1s] that's [2450.3s] what you [2450.6s] determine [2451.1s] these [2451.4s] are, [2451.6s] and as [2451.9s] you [2452.1s] work your [2452.4s] way [2452.6s] through, [2453.3s] there [2453.6s] is [2454.1s] another [2454.5s] shaft. [2455.0s] This [2455.2s] one [2455.4s] has a [2455.7s] ladder [2456.2s] attached [2456.6s] to it. [2457.6s] The [2457.7s] ladder [2458.1s] goes [2458.4s] down [2458.7s] further [2459.1s] into the [2459.4s] mountain, [2459.8s] and the [2460.1s] shaft [2460.4s] continues [2461.1s] up [2461.4s] and [2461.7s] out. [2462.3s] You can [2462.6s] see [2462.9s] daylight [2463.5s] coming [2464.6s] from [2464.8s] somewhere [2465.1s] higher [2465.5s] up [2466.4s] in the [2466.6s] mountain, [2467.3s] leading [2467.6s] you to [2467.8s] believe [2469.1s] for [2469.4s] Bonwyn [2470.0s] that this [2470.3s] is [2470.5s] probably [2471.2s] an [2471.4s] air vent [2471.9s] of some [2472.2s] sort [2472.5s] that was [2472.7s] created [2473.3s] for [2473.5s] the [2473.6s] mine. [2475.1s] Okay, [2475.6s] well, [2477.7s] the [2477.9s] treasure [2478.5s] could [2479.0s] be [2480.0s] some [2480.4s] vintage [2480.9s] mining [2481.4s] tools [2483.5s] if [2483.8s] we [2484.0s] choose [2484.5s] to [2484.9s] feel [2485.2s] that [2485.4s] way [2485.6s] about [2485.9s] them, [2487.3s] or [2487.5s] we [2487.7s] could [2487.9s] keep [2489.1s] looking. [2489.7s] Is there [2491.7s] anything that you see, [2492.7s] Bonwyn, [2493.1s] that's kind of an [2493.7s] indication as to [2494.8s] what materials [2495.9s] were being [2496.2s] mined [2496.5s] here? [2497.8s] Oh, [2498.1s] great [2498.4s] question. [2499.9s] I should [2500.4s] know that, [2501.3s] or like, [2502.5s] what do you [2502.8s] want me to [2503.2s] roll? [2503.5s] But I am [2504.1s] the, [2504.9s] the [2505.2s] oars [2505.7s] expert. [2506.3s] I would [2506.9s] think if anyone [2507.7s] would know [2508.1s] when the [2508.3s] group [2520.2s] pick up [2521.7s] fragments [2522.8s] of [2523.6s] iron [2525.4s] and [2527.3s] roll me [2527.9s] a D20, [2529.2s] please. [2530.9s] 12. [2533.1s] And there's [2533.7s] like a [2534.3s] glittering, [2537.4s] a glittering [2538.3s] jewel, [2539.4s] like a dust [2540.3s] from a glittering [2541.1s] jewel of [2541.6s] some sort. [2542.7s] You can't [2543.1s] exactly [2543.6s] place it, [2545.8s] because it's [2546.3s] just very [2547.0s] small [2548.0s] fragments, [2549.4s] but looks like [2550.1s] maybe there's [2550.6s] something of [2551.3s] value that [2552.2s] they were also [2552.8s] finding, [2553.2s] along with [2554.1s] just [2554.8s] natural [2555.4s] ore and [2555.9s] iron. [2557.3s] Well, [2557.4s] definitely, [2558.4s] definitely iron, [2559.3s] but I don't [2559.8s] know if you, [2560.3s] if you bring [2560.7s] the candle [2561.3s] over, [2561.5s] you can kind [2562.0s] of see, [2562.5s] it's like, [2563.6s] there's like almost [2564.3s] like mica [2564.9s] or something. [2565.4s] It's slightly [2565.9s] reflective, [2566.6s] which would [2566.9s] lead me to [2567.4s] believe it would [2568.0s] be [2569.5s] some kind [2569.9s] of jewel [2570.9s] or a [2571.7s] crystal [2572.3s] or something [2572.9s] like that. [2574.6s] I can see [2574.9s] what you're [2575.1s] talking about [2575.5s] there. [2575.7s] Yes. [2576.1s] Yeah, [2576.6s] yeah, [2578.7s] so that's [2579.4s] just micro [2580.0s] particles of, [2581.5s] of that. [2582.0s] So, [2584.0s] I mean, [2584.5s] the mine is [2585.1s] abandoned. [2585.7s] So, [2585.9s] I don't think [2586.3s] we're going to [2586.7s] find, [2586.9s] like, [2587.1s] a truckload [2587.9s] of it, [2588.4s] but [2590.3s] maybe. [2590.6s] Right. [2591.7s] But who [2592.1s] would abandon [2592.7s] their mind [2593.0s] without [2593.6s] taking their [2594.2s] equipment [2594.7s] with them? [2595.2s] Seems like [2595.7s] kind of a [2596.4s] ill-advised [2597.3s] business [2597.9s] decision to [2599.7s] not take [2600.1s] the equipment [2600.6s] you paid [2601.1s] for. [2602.3s] Maybe, [2602.7s] maybe they [2603.1s] left in a [2603.6s] hurry? [2605.0s] Well, [2605.6s] that's [2606.1s] a very [2606.5s] good point [2607.0s] and [2607.7s] makes one [2608.2s] wonder why [2608.8s] they would [2609.2s] leave in a [2609.7s] hurry. [2610.6s] Yeah. [2611.8s] Yeah, [2611.9s] I don't [2612.2s] love that. [2613.3s] You [2613.5s] hear [2614.8s] up [2615.4s] in, [2616.7s] like, [2617.0s] the, [2617.5s] the ceiling [2618.2s] of this [2618.7s] cavern, [2619.4s] you hear, [2619.8s] like, [2620.0s] a fluttering [2620.7s] noise. [2624.9s] I snuffed [2625.5s] the [2626.0s] candle. [2628.7s] Plunged [2629.1s] into darkness. [2629.8s] Everybody [2630.2s] can see, [2630.6s] except you. [2631.0s] Actually, [2631.2s] Bench can't see. [2631.8s] He's [2632.0s] human too. [2632.8s] I just [2633.1s] don't know [2633.4s] why he [2633.7s] didn't [2633.9s] light a [2634.1s] candle. [2634.5s] He was [2634.7s] just going [2635.2s] with it, [2635.5s] saying, [2635.8s] oh, [2636.0s] everybody [2636.4s] can see, [2636.8s] I can [2637.1s] see too. [2637.9s] Makes [2638.2s] sense. [2638.9s] Typical [2639.3s] Bench. [2641.0s] Yeah. [2643.5s] Everybody [2644.4s] hear that? [2644.9s] They think [2645.2s] there's maybe [2645.7s] the squirrels [2646.3s] following us? [2646.9s] I hope [2647.4s] not. [2648.2s] I don't [2648.6s] think so. [2649.7s] Maybe [2650.1s] wings? [2651.5s] It does [2651.7s] sound like [2652.1s] wings. [2652.4s] Why did [2652.7s] we turn [2653.1s] out the [2653.3s] light? [2654.5s] In case [2654.9s] it draws [2655.3s] the attention [2655.9s] of whatever [2656.4s] is making [2656.9s] that sound. [2658.2s] Okay. [2660.3s] So do we [2660.8s] want to [2661.0s] go [2662.5s] back [2664.4s] to the [2664.7s] cage, [2666.4s] down [2666.7s] this [2667.9s] he's [2668.2s] pointing the [2668.6s] wrong [2668.8s] direction. [2671.9s] No, [2672.1s] he doesn't [2672.4s] know [2672.5s] where he's [2672.8s] pointing. [2673.7s] Back to [2674.1s] the cage, [2674.6s] down the [2675.0s] ladder, [2675.6s] go [2675.8s] home. [2680.2s] I'm [2680.3s] willing to [2680.7s] press [2680.9s] forth. [2682.2s] Me too. [2683.0s] Okay. [2683.9s] Me too. [2684.4s] Like, [2686.8s] lazy me [2687.8s] says, [2688.3s] let's [2688.6s] take the [2688.9s] elevator. [2690.3s] Okay. [2690.9s] Okay. [2691.2s] Okay. [2692.1s] I'm [2692.2s] gonna [2692.9s] hold on [2693.4s] to your [2693.8s] pack. [2695.3s] For no [2695.6s] particular [2696.3s] reason, [2697.4s] except [2698.0s] to know [2698.4s] where I'm [2698.8s] going. [2699.5s] Okay. [2700.2s] Bazaard, [2700.6s] have you [2700.8s] got, [2701.2s] you got [2701.6s] him? [2701.9s] Okay. [2702.7s] We're [2702.9s] all together. [2703.4s] Okay. [2705.5s] Trying not to [2706.7s] disturb [2707.3s] whatever made [2707.8s] the sound. [2709.4s] Let's do [2710.1s] a [2710.3s] group's [2712.2s] stealth [2712.6s] roll. [2714.6s] Got to [2714.8s] get at [2715.0s] least two [2715.4s] successes. [2718.5s] Dirty [2718.9s] 20. [2719.4s] 16. [2720.8s] 14. [2722.3s] Okay, [2722.5s] that's three [2722.9s] successes. [2723.5s] Bench [2723.8s] got a [2724.1s] three. [2725.8s] Classic bench. [2727.1s] Classic bench. [2728.2s] I just needed [2728.7s] two though. [2729.8s] So you [2730.3s] make your way [2730.9s] back, [2731.3s] hearing a little [2731.8s] bit more of [2732.2s] that [2732.4s] fluttering [2732.8s] sound. [2733.1s] Make your [2733.4s] way back [2733.7s] to the [2733.9s] cage. [2736.1s] Close it [2736.4s] back up. [2737.2s] All right. [2737.5s] Let's [2737.9s] let's go [2738.3s] down. [2738.6s] Let's [2738.8s] see what [2739.1s] we see [2739.4s] down here. [2741.2s] Okay. [2741.8s] Let's [2742.0s] go. [2742.4s] Let's [2742.7s] go [2742.9s] down. [2743.3s] See [2743.5s] what we [2743.8s] see. [2744.3s] You [2744.5s] continue [2745.2s] to [2745.5s] go [2745.8s] down [2746.3s] and [2747.1s] paying [2747.4s] attention to [2748.2s] the [2748.5s] distance [2749.1s] that you've [2749.4s] been [2749.6s] moving. [2750.1s] You can [2750.4s] relight [2750.8s] the [2750.9s] candle now [2751.7s] as you [2752.0s] kind of [2752.4s] leave [2752.9s] this [2753.2s] area. [2754.9s] You [2756.9s] are [2757.4s] about [2757.9s] another [2758.4s] hundred [2758.9s] feet [2759.4s] when the [2759.9s] same [2760.4s] thing [2760.9s] opens [2761.4s] back up [2761.9s] left [2762.4s] and [2762.9s] right. [2763.4s] Looking [2763.9s] to the [2764.4s] right, [2764.9s] you're [2765.4s] able to [2765.9s] make [2766.4s] out that [2766.9s] there's [2767.4s] a [2767.9s] cave-in. [2768.4s] You [2768.9s] can't [2769.4s] get [2769.9s] much [2770.4s] farther [2770.9s] down [2771.4s] that [2771.9s] way. [2772.4s] Looking [2772.9s] to [2773.4s] the [2773.9s] left, [2774.4s] you're [2774.9s] able [2775.4s] to [2775.9s] see that [2776.4s] this [2776.9s] pathway [2777.4s] extends [2777.9s] down [2778.4s] quite [2778.9s] some [2779.4s] ways, [2779.9s] but it [2780.4s] also [2780.9s] looks [2781.4s] like maybe [2781.9s] there's [2782.4s] another [2782.9s] shaft [2783.4s] that [2783.9s] goes [2784.4s] down [2784.9s] further [2785.4s] on that [2785.9s] way. [2786.4s] Looking [2786.9s] down, [2787.9s] it appears [2788.9s] that there's [2790.9s] a mineshaft [2791.9s] cave-in [2792.9s] itself [2793.9s] further [2794.4s] down. [2794.9s] So, if you are [2795.9s] to continue [2796.9s] in this [2797.4s] shaft, [2797.9s] you need to [2798.9s] get out [2799.4s] and go [2799.9s] to the [2800.4s] left. [2801.9s] Okay. [2802.9s] Cave-in [2803.4s] in one [2803.9s] direction. [2804.4s] I can [2804.9s] see down [2805.4s] a ways, [2805.9s] and it doesn't [2806.4s] look like [2806.9s] it's clear [2807.4s] either, [2807.9s] so we [2808.4s] can either [2808.9s] go back [2809.4s] up, or we [2809.9s] can get out [2810.4s] and go [2810.9s] in this [2811.4s] direction, [2813.4s] where I think [2813.9s] there might [2814.4s] be another [2814.9s] shaft down. [2815.4s] What do you [2816.4s] keep going? [2817.4s] I guess [2817.9s] we've gone [2818.4s] this far. [2818.9s] How far [2819.4s] down do we [2819.9s] think we've [2820.4s] gone? [2821.4s] Was it 200 [2821.9s] plus feet? [2822.4s] I mean, [2822.9s] pretty far, [2823.4s] I think. [2823.9s] Yeah. [2824.9s] Yeah. [2825.4s] Pretty far. [2827.4s] Okay. [2827.9s] Let's [2828.4s] do it. [2829.9s] You got the [2830.4s] candle, [2830.9s] lizard, [2831.4s] I'll [2831.9s] stick close [2832.4s] to you. [2833.4s] Yep. [2833.9s] I've got it [2834.4s] ready. [2835.9s] Cage door [2836.4s] opens. [2837.4s] Uh, [2837.9s] Kyle, [2838.4s] roll me [2838.9s] 2D6, [2839.4s] please. [2840.4s] Okay. [2842.4s] That is a total [2842.9s] of three, [2843.4s] a one [2843.9s] and a two, [2844.4s] of course. [2844.9s] Cause it [2845.4s] couldn't [2845.9s] be anything [2846.4s] else. [2847.4s] Uh, [2847.9s] you're [2848.4s] slowly making [2848.9s] your way [2849.4s] down this [2849.9s] path. [2850.4s] And as [2850.9s] you, [2851.4s] uh, [2851.9s] get to [2852.4s] these, [2852.9s] this next [2853.9s] shaft, [2854.4s] there is a [2854.9s] ladder [2855.4s] sticking up [2855.9s] out of it. [2856.4s] It's a [2856.9s] wooden [2857.4s] ladder. [2857.9s] Looks like [2858.4s] there's a couple [2858.9s] rungs that [2859.4s] have cracked [2859.9s] or broken [2860.4s] from what [2860.9s] you can [2861.4s] see, [2861.9s] but more or [2862.4s] less, [2862.9s] um, [2863.4s] a quick [2863.9s] investigation [2864.4s] of it [2864.9s] is able [2865.4s] to tell [2865.9s] you that [2866.4s] it's [2866.9s] reasonably [2867.9s] sturdy [2868.4s] enough [2868.9s] for you [2869.4s] to [2869.9s] descend. [2870.9s] Is this, [2871.9s] so we're [2872.4s] gonna go [2872.9s] down [2873.4s] this ladder [2873.9s] that looks like [2874.9s] it goes down [2875.4s] the ways [2875.9s] and I can tell [2876.9s] because I can see [2877.9s] perfectly clear. [2879.9s] And there's [2880.9s] nothing else [2881.9s] in this [2882.4s] room, [2882.9s] right? [2883.4s] You don't see [2883.9s] anything. [2884.4s] Okay. [2885.9s] I feel like [2887.9s] this is, [2888.9s] this is the last one. [2889.9s] We'll go down [2890.9s] here. [2891.4s] It's gotta be. [2891.9s] If there's nothing. [2893.9s] Like, [2894.9s] we gotta [2895.9s] go play act [2897.9s] doing something [2898.9s] for Ignatius [2899.9s] anyway, [2900.4s] right? [2900.9s] So like, [2901.9s] but one last try. [2902.9s] Okay. [2903.4s] Okay. [2903.9s] Okay. [2905.4s] You all [2906.4s] one by one, [2907.4s] I'm assuming [2908.4s] the people who can see, [2909.4s] sandwiching the people [2910.4s] who can't see. [2911.4s] That would be the [2912.4s] nice way to do it. [2913.4s] Great. [2914.4s] Not that I wanted to [2915.4s] lead you there, [2916.4s] but that's what we're doing. [2917.4s] Just hold that candle [2918.4s] in your mouth, [2919.4s] you're fine. [2921.4s] You climb [2922.4s] for, [2923.4s] you know, [2924.4s] long, [2925.4s] it taking you longer [2926.4s] to get down to this [2927.4s] next opening. [2928.4s] But as you, [2929.4s] Bonwyn, [2930.4s] get down to this [2931.4s] first side shaft [2932.4s] that opens up, [2933.4s] the ladder does keep [2935.4s] going down [2936.4s] in considerable ways, [2937.4s] farther than you can [2938.4s] really make out. [2940.4s] There is a shaft [2941.4s] that opens up [2942.4s] with what looks like [2943.4s] another shaft down [2944.4s] the other side as well. [2945.4s] And as you [2946.4s] get down [2947.4s] and kind of step out [2948.4s] just to survey the scene, [2950.4s] you turn [2951.4s] and you look [2952.4s] and you see something [2953.4s] skitter across [2954.4s] your vision [2955.4s] towards the shaft [2956.4s] on the other side [2957.4s] of this tunnel [2958.4s] that you've just entered. [2960.4s] Okay. [2962.4s] Skittering thing. [2963.4s] Big, small, [2965.4s] role investigation. [2967.4s] I can tell you. [2968.4s] Maybe. [2969.4s] That was bad. [2970.4s] That was a bad roll. [2972.4s] Ten. [2974.4s] Ten's not bad. [2976.4s] It, you would say, [2977.4s] is [2981.4s] size of a large dog. [2984.4s] Cool. [2985.4s] But yeah, you can't [2986.4s] really make out [2987.4s] what it is. [2988.4s] Okay. [2989.4s] Not huge, [2990.4s] but not small. [2991.4s] I mean, [2994.4s] if it's a quadruped [2996.4s] and it stood up [2997.4s] on its hind legs, [2998.4s] it's bigger than me. [2999.4s] Oh, okay. [3003.4s] I don't [3005.4s] think that's [3006.4s] treasure. [3009.4s] Agreed. [3010.4s] So I had said [3011.4s] this is our last one. [3013.4s] What do we think? [3016.4s] Yeah, I mean, [3017.4s] I [3019.4s] I can barely see, [3021.4s] so I'm good [3023.4s] going back up [3024.4s] at this point, [3026.4s] but I'm not going to [3028.4s] leave you behind [3029.4s] if you continue [3030.4s] to go down, [3031.4s] either. [3033.4s] And I mean, [3034.4s] with a big, [3035.4s] strong, [3036.4s] guy like Bench, [3037.4s] I'm sure there's [3038.4s] no fear behind those eyes, [3039.4s] so. [3040.4s] No, yeah, [3041.4s] you can see my eyes [3043.4s] clearly as day. [3044.4s] I feel like I want to save [3046.4s] some energy to make sure [3047.4s] we can get back up. [3048.4s] So I'm happy [3050.4s] if you are all happy [3051.4s] to just [3054.4s] make our way back [3055.4s] to that [3057.4s] cage car. [3058.4s] Absolutely. [3059.4s] Okay, great. [3060.4s] Let's do that. [3062.4s] You all begin [3063.4s] moving back up the ladder. [3066.4s] Bonwyn, as you're [3067.4s] the last one back up, [3068.4s] you hear that skittering [3069.4s] sound off and to the side [3070.4s] once more [3071.4s] as you are [3072.4s] moving back up the ladder. [3074.4s] Cav, you're first up. [3075.4s] You help Bench [3076.4s] followed by a [3077.4s] Bizard. [3078.4s] Bonwyn, as you're about [3080.4s] ready to get up, [3081.4s] you feel a shake [3082.4s] in the ladder [3084.4s] that feels like [3085.4s] something's [3086.4s] either [3088.4s] hit it [3089.4s] or is also [3090.4s] climbing up [3091.4s] it now. [3092.4s] Are you guys [3093.4s] shaking the ladder? [3094.4s] That's really not [3095.4s] really actually [3096.4s] that funny [3097.4s] right now. [3098.4s] Nope, not, not, [3099.4s] not. [3100.4s] I can feel it though. [3101.4s] Okay. [3102.4s] Not one bit. [3103.4s] Okay, here I come. [3104.4s] Double quick time now. [3105.4s] You now hear [3106.4s] scratching on the walls [3107.4s] coming up from [3108.4s] the shaft below. [3110.4s] I assume you're [3111.4s] booking it at this point. [3112.4s] I am going [3113.4s] as fast as I can. [3115.4s] How sturdy [3116.4s] and how connected [3117.4s] is this ladder? [3119.4s] Like, is it something [3120.4s] that if Bonwyn gets up, [3121.4s] I could like [3122.4s] push over [3123.4s] or is it like [3124.4s] more in there? [3126.4s] It was attached [3127.4s] kind of [3128.4s] along several points [3129.4s] along the way. [3130.4s] So while you could [3131.4s] damage the top, [3132.4s] like it would only [3133.4s] get maybe [3134.4s] six to ten feet down. [3135.4s] So yeah, [3136.4s] you book it back, [3137.4s] you get in [3139.4s] and you pull [3140.4s] the lever, [3141.4s] wrong way first [3142.4s] of course, [3143.4s] but then push it [3144.4s] back the right way [3145.4s] and begin [3146.4s] climbing back up. [3147.4s] The three guys [3148.4s] obviously, two [3149.4s] that can't see, [3150.4s] you don't see [3151.4s] anything beyond [3152.4s] the kind of [3153.4s] candlelight. [3154.4s] Cav, [3155.4s] you get [3156.4s] just out of the [3157.4s] glimpse of your eye [3158.4s] something, [3159.4s] as Bonwyn [3160.4s] describes, [3161.4s] something come up [3162.4s] out of the shaft [3163.4s] you're shorter [3164.4s] so you see it longer. [3165.4s] There's multiple [3166.4s] of these creatures [3167.4s] that are coming up [3168.4s] and out the shaft [3169.4s] and are [3170.4s] like four-legged [3171.4s] running towards you [3173.4s] as this is [3174.4s] slowly going up [3176.4s] and you see them [3177.4s] stop [3178.4s] at the edge [3179.4s] as you're looking down. [3180.4s] Okay. [3181.4s] Hated that. [3182.4s] Yeah. [3183.4s] Hated that. [3185.4s] Okay, why is this thing [3186.4s] so slow? [3187.4s] Does it have like [3188.4s] a second gear [3189.4s] and we just don't know? [3190.4s] I don't know. [3191.4s] It felt so fast [3192.4s] all the way down [3193.4s] and now it's just nothing. [3195.4s] You look back down [3196.4s] and you see [3197.4s] these creatures [3198.4s] like piling on top [3199.4s] of each other [3200.4s] trying to reach [3201.4s] to the other side [3202.4s] where there are [3203.4s] still rough [3204.4s] handholds [3205.4s] they're trying to. [3206.4s] You see one [3207.4s] kind of slip and fall [3208.4s] and you hear [3209.4s] a tumble down [3210.4s] into the tunnel [3211.4s] but then you see [3212.4s] one get purchase [3213.4s] on the wall [3214.4s] and it's trying [3215.4s] to climb up [3216.4s] behind you slowly [3217.4s] but it's [3218.4s] it's climbing up [3219.4s] the shaft [3220.4s] as you're making [3221.4s] the path [3222.4s] that you saw [3223.4s] that had the [3224.4s] had the auger [3225.4s] and the materials [3226.4s] and you're making [3227.4s] your way back up [3228.4s] and you start to hear [3229.4s] Ignatius. [3230.4s] Oh good. [3231.4s] It's coming. [3232.4s] It's coming back up. [3233.4s] They told us [3234.4s] they'd come back. [3235.4s] All right. [3236.4s] We're going down next. [3237.4s] Okay. [3238.4s] Nope. [3239.4s] Nope. [3240.4s] What do you mean no? [3241.4s] No. [3242.4s] No. [3243.4s] Certainly not. [3244.4s] Nope. [3245.4s] No. [3246.4s] No. [3247.4s] Is there something down there? [3248.4s] Danger. [3249.4s] Not treasure? [3250.4s] Not there. [3251.4s] Dumbgeons and Dragons Season 3 Episode 13.
