[214.4s] like touching all, you know, like when Carla and I were trapped

[220.4s] and we thought like we are going to touch literally every single brick
[224.1s] in that jail cell.
[225.6s] And like none of them actually were anything.
[228.2s] But you guys had a brick that was sparkly that you should have touched.
[231.0s] I know. I'm doing that right now.
[233.4s] I'm like just like just like there's got to be
[237.1s] there's got to be like a crack.

[288.8s] Nina and Cav are inside cells.
[291.6s] Nina doesn't bother to look for anything.
[293.8s] Cav, you may be looking around, but it's fruitless.
[297.2s] What's that post?
[298.1s] What's this spoon here?
[301.4s] Alydin, you're looking around trying to feel for air
[304.9s] and you you make your way kind of to the opposite end of this
[310.3s] of this area.
[311.1s] There are six cells
[314.3s] and in the final cell, you feel the cell door is open
[320.6s] and you feel like a bit of a breeze.
[322.8s] There aren't windows.
[323.8s] This is a very dark.
[325.3s] It's only lit by like it's only lit by
[329.4s] very dim torchlight.
[332.9s] But yeah, you feel a bit of a breeze coming out of this final cell.
[337.2s] I want to like try to narrow it down by like
[340.5s] moving around the cell and just holding still.
[343.5s] And you're making your way along and you you think you feel
[348.2s] where this where this is a very harsh, like cool air
[352.2s] that's coming in from a cracks around one of these stones first.
[358.2s] She wants to pull on
[360.8s] on one of the torches, like on the wall, just in case.
[363.6s] You know, just in case you pull on them,
[366.5s] they don't appear to move.
[368.0s] OK, fine. I go to the one
[372.4s] rock and the hand motions lately, guys.
[375.6s] It's just I'm going to the one rock and honka honka.
[380.9s] I want to, I don't know, like, try to like a wuga the rock.
[383.7s] Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
[385.2s] Some hubba hubba.
[386.8s] The rock. OK, you go up to the rock.
[389.3s] And as you are manipulating it,
[392.2s] accosting it, harassing it, whatever you want to call it,
[395.5s] getting your own charges to deserve being down here.
[398.6s] Yeah. Getting your rocks off.
[400.4s] Oh, it was great.
[403.6s] There it is.
[406.0s] It takes us a while to get there.
[407.3s] But, you know, you you push the rock and they get it
[411.0s] like depresses into the wall.
[414.3s] That's a great, wonderful, fully perfect timing.
[421.0s] Depresses into the wall and you feel it slide
[423.9s] in further until finally it collapses
[427.4s] inside some chamber that you can't quite make out
[431.6s] beyond the room that you're in.
[433.4s] But it appears that there is another chamber inside
[436.4s] and you even hear the sound of like trickling water beyond.
[440.0s] Oh, bizarre. Do you find something?
[441.9s] Yeah, look, I made a hole.
[444.3s] OK, yeah, that's listening on it.
[447.0s] OK, does the torch come off the wall?
[451.3s] Yeah, you can lift it off. Yeah. OK.
[454.3s] Lift it off and I say, you found it.
[456.5s] I can go in unless somebody else wants to check it out.
[460.8s] It's like this big.
[462.1s] I that's not necessarily a problem.
[465.8s] What? I mean,
[469.4s] do you think you could fit in there because I'd rather not have to?
[473.5s] But I can if I need to.
[475.5s] I mean, maybe I could probably fit in there.
[479.3s] You know, I'm a little stout, though.
[481.0s] You said how big was it?
[482.5s] Like this big.
[483.2s] And she holds her hands up like basketball.
[485.5s] I can. I can.
[489.5s] Let me let me try.
[490.5s] I've like dislocated my shoulders before.
[493.1s] Oh, God.
[493.9s] You know, to try and get into some pretty sticky situations.
[497.4s] You should be getting out of out of out of out of is way better.
[500.9s] He's like a snake.
[502.2s] Let me let me just get on the head of my job, too.
[506.0s] Alladin is already like trying to get halfway through this.
[509.2s] She went like arm first, arm head.
[512.9s] Amy's been through small holes.
[516.1s] I know exactly how this will go.
[518.5s] Ice is the barrens and Nina's cell still locked.
[522.3s] Yes. Yeah.
[523.6s] Can I try to lockpick them?
[526.7s] Yeah, baby.
[529.9s] Yeah, it's impossible.
[532.7s] Great to meet you.
[534.0s] It's going to suck starving to death if we find any rats.
[536.8s] I got an eight.
[538.4s] It's this is confusing.
[539.8s] Yeah. As you as you're trying,
[541.5s] like these are old rusted out locks like it as you put your tools in.
[546.9s] Like you feel like grinding.
[548.8s] And yeah, you're hard to get purchase on on the actual mechanism in there.
[552.6s] Might have to do a classic.
[555.0s] Maybe you should stand back situation.
[557.7s] What do you mean?
[559.2s] I'm going to blast.
[560.4s] I'm going to blast your door open.
[562.1s] Oh, OK.
[563.6s] And she who she didn't get off her bed, but she squeaks like squeaks.
[569.4s] You know, I like it.
[570.5s] She squeaks back and far into the corner.
[573.0s] Kavlar, what he said, just like back into the corner.
[576.5s] You heard Jeff.
[577.9s] I like this. This is good.
[580.0s] Nina and Kavlaran best friends forever.
[582.1s] Right. That's what Oakes says.
[583.6s] Oh, my God. Her and Oak are going to have it out.
[587.2s] Don't worry. We don't have to.
[588.8s] It's good that we found one of your friends down here.
[590.4s] That's great news. All right.
[592.6s] I has that.
[593.6s] And I cast Eldritch Blast.
[596.1s] Boom. Yeah, he did the thing.
[599.8s] That's right. Yeah, he did.
[602.2s] Is there a spell you want to cast in your warlock?
[604.6s] Well, have you heard of Eldritch Blast?
[606.4s] Pretty cool. You want to roll me some damage?
[608.0s] This door isn't going to move.
[609.4s] So I do. Let's go.
[612.6s] Um,
[616.4s] ooh, so good.
[617.8s] Eleven damage.
[620.0s] My two blasts of Eldritch Kablamo.
[624.8s] Two blasts. You're going door and door or you're targeting a singular door.
[629.0s] Singular door.
[630.4s] Are you going Nina's or Cavs Nina's?
[633.9s] My mind was Cavs, but she moved and I would feel too uncomfortable
[637.5s] to not blasters. Right. Obviously.
[640.0s] OK. Yeah.
[641.2s] Your two blasts go off and like the door
[645.1s] almost breaks off of its hinges.
[646.8s] But the mechanism bursts free.
[649.5s] A few splinters of metal shards shoot out.
[652.6s] Um, Cav, make a deck saving throw.
[655.9s] I can do that.
[657.1s] Oh, an 11.
[659.2s] Um, like, yeah, like just like you kind of skims your shoulder.
[664.0s] You feel it cut through through your shirt
[667.6s] and Nina leans forward and looks as you actually did it.
[673.2s] And she stands up and like brushes herself off
[675.8s] and starts heading out and says, thank you.
[678.4s] Thank you very much.
[679.3s] I yell from half in the hole.
[683.4s] Can someone grab some of those?
[685.2s] Grab some of those metal pieces for me.
[687.3s] Can you put some in my bucket?
[689.0s] Sure. Yeah, no problem.
[690.8s] Thanks, Cav. Inside the hole.
[693.5s] As you as you're pushing yourself through, you now realize that there's birth.
[698.2s] There's an odor coming from inside. Oh.
[705.0s] There's good odors. That's true.
[707.3s] It kind of smells in here.
[710.1s] It smells like what? Do I do I recognize the smell?
[713.6s] It smells like,
[715.8s] well, as you say, it kind of smells in here.
[718.6s] Nina comes around the corner and she says, darling,
[722.6s] I think that is the the town's old aqueduct.
[725.7s] Could be a particular place for some certain drainage.
[733.3s] Am I smelling poop?
[735.1s] You're not not smelling poop.
[736.9s] Oh, I think the legal term is gray water.
[740.0s] Mm hmm. Yes.
[742.0s] See, he knows everything.
[743.8s] Do I see anything in here?
[746.2s] Um, did I go through without the torch?
[750.0s] Well, Bazaar said he had the torch.
[751.8s] So, yes, sure did.
[753.3s] He sure did.
[754.3s] And if I land in poop,
[756.4s] you your hand goes down to the ground and it's it's damp.
[762.5s] But it does feel like rather cave like,
[765.2s] like you're not in like you don't drop into sludge,
[769.3s] a sludge, yes, any sludge or like slush of water
[772.6s] or anything like that.
[773.7s] Oh, I squeeze myself through it.
[777.1s] I was like, guys, it smells smells gross in here.
[783.6s] I stick my head through the hole and I'm like,
[786.9s] can I have a torch?
[788.1s] I hand the torch over.
[789.3s] Careful the methane.
[790.3s] Yes, that could change our plans and go up.
[792.2s] Boom. Real quick.
[793.4s] What?
[794.2s] Oh, a boom. That's probably fine.
[796.1s] Not a bad idea, then.
[797.8s] If we're not inside of it, you might have to climb back.
[800.5s] Should I come?
[801.6s] Should I come back out and then we throw the torch in?
[805.8s] Yeah. OK.
[807.0s] And I squeeze myself back.
[809.7s] I'll pull you through.
[810.6s] Maybe don't throw.
[812.0s] Don't throw it, because if we hit a doo doo pile,
[815.0s] it might go away. We don't want that.
[816.4s] I tell you what. No, we can we can do this.
[818.6s] I cast mage hand.
[820.5s] I grab onto the torch.
[822.2s] I float my mage hand through the hole as we stand safely in the hallway
[826.6s] and see if it blows up.
[828.8s] How did you do that?
[830.8s] Oh, it's it's a very, very rudimentary cantrip.
[836.4s] You just have to imagine like your hand as it's an
[840.5s] like an extension of your hand.
[841.6s] Imagine if you could stretch your arm out through the weave of the ether.
[845.6s] It's like that.
[846.2s] Like in my mind, you just see a hand, but in my mind,
[848.9s] my arm is stretching out through the hole.
[853.6s] So if you could like, you know, see in the ethereal plane,
[856.0s] that's what you would see, too.
[857.2s] It looks really weird, but it's it's really cool.
[859.6s] Anyway, let's see if this blows up.
[861.9s] She's just staring at her hand.
[866.6s] What are we talking about? Middle stuff.
[868.6s] Middle. Welcome to the middle, everybody.
[872.2s] You're here. It's a much more subdued middle than last week.
[876.2s] My choice for topic today, since Kyle isn't here.
[879.3s] You've got the talking stick.
[880.7s] Kyle, isn't he great?
[882.7s] Are you so glad that we played this super long con on him
[888.0s] to make him be a permanent cast member?
[891.3s] And it worked.
[892.2s] And I'm so proud of us, guys.
[894.4s] We really made it happen.
[896.2s] And he's wonderful.
[898.0s] He is. We sowed the seeds.
[901.0s] Drew him in little by little.
[903.3s] Just for like a one one story arc.
[905.6s] It'll be nothing.
[906.5s] And now six years later, one of us.
[910.1s] And now he's flying into Edmonton in blizzards.
[912.4s] So exactly. Exactly.
[915.0s] That's how you know you're committed.
[916.4s] Yeah. He'll spin it and say, no, I tricked you,
[919.8s] which he probably did.
[922.2s] Let's be real.
[923.1s] But, you know, we can think that he is very clever.
[926.1s] He could have tricked us.
[927.4s] But why would he want to?
[928.4s] He still hasn't signed the contract, though.
[930.1s] So I don't know what he wants.
[931.5s] I don't know what he wants in this relationship.
[934.3s] Is him not being here a negotiating tactic?
[936.8s] Oh, that must be a business trip.
[940.3s] But no, no, no.
[944.0s] Anyway, Kyle, he's the best.
[946.2s] You know who else is the best?
[948.1s] Who? Our patrons.
[950.0s] This is so true.
[951.2s] They support us.
[952.7s] Um, emotionally and also financially.
[956.6s] Absolutely.
[958.0s] And we try to give them some value in return,
[962.0s] like extra episodes of other shows and see our faces
[967.6s] every now and again.
[969.0s] You can come see our faces.
[970.5s] You can hang out with us.
[972.0s] Watch us there, too.
[974.7s] Don't forget, Kyle is normally here.
[977.0s] Exactly. So like, that's a huge selling point, right?
[980.5s] It's true. He's like handsome Jesus.
[982.4s] That's what he looks like.
[983.4s] Handsome Jesus. Oh, yes.
[985.6s] Handsome Jesus classic.
[987.1s] That's right.
[988.5s] But our extra special number one tied with Kyle is our patron
[993.3s] that we're dedicating this episode to.
[995.6s] Who is Logan Moore?
[998.1s] Logan Moore.
[1000.0s] Related. Is that your cousin?
[1001.8s] I know. Any relation?
[1003.0s] No relation that I'm aware of.
[1004.8s] 2-0, 1-0. What are we talking about?
[1006.4s] Singular O. They're doing it.
[1008.0s] Singular O.
[1009.1s] Long lost cousin Logan.
[1010.5s] I can't wait to see you at the family reunion,
[1012.8s] even though my last name is not Moore.
[1014.6s] So I won't be there.
[1015.3s] You would definitely be at the family reunion.
[1018.4s] I do come to all of the Russ and Amy More family events.
[1022.6s] You'll have your reunion crocs there.
[1024.5s] It'll be a whole thing.
[1026.3s] Exactly.
[1027.4s] Logan, I can't wait to meet you at the family reunion.
[1030.4s] Me too.
[1031.0s] You're the best.
[1032.3s] It's going to be a great time.
[1033.9s] That family reunion that we're going to have.
[1036.9s] The next event we have, that'll be our meet up,
[1039.7s] is called a family reunion.
[1041.1s] I like that.
[1043.3s] And then in brackets, but not really for business purposes.
[1047.2s] Oh, yes.
[1048.5s] It'll be the family reunion.
[1051.3s] Just put it there.
[1052.8s] Yeah, just a lot of quotes.
[1054.2s] Lot of quotes.
[1055.1s] No, for reals, Angela.
[1056.3s] Honestly, it's what I'll say.
[1059.0s] Exactly.
[1059.7s] Yeah.
[1060.7s] OK, thank you for listening, everybody.
[1063.3s] We'll get you back to the episode, which
[1066.0s] is exactly how all trial episodes end up,
[1070.8s] is with somebody in jail.
[1072.8s] Well, sometimes, yeah.
[1074.1s] I mean, in Tom's case.
[1076.9s] Maybe they get out.
[1078.3s] Maybe they don't.
[1079.5s] Dung dung.
[1080.5s] That's how you have to end it.
[1081.6s] Yeah.
[1082.2s] For court.
[1082.8s] OK.
[1083.6s] Love you, bye.
[1084.2s] Love you, bye.
[1084.9s] Love you, bye.
[1086.6s] Bizarre's Mage Hand takes the torch
[1088.4s] and slowly moves through.
[1090.4s] And as anybody's watching it,
[1092.1s] the flame begins to die down until it's just a flicker.
[1097.9s] And it disappears into the darkness
[1100.8s] until there's this huge bright flash that goes off.
[1107.6s] And flames shoot out like a straight shot into the room.
[1112.1s] And then it's quickly followed by a loud explosion
[1116.4s] that echoes and shakes the walls.
[1118.5s] Dust and stone begins to fall from the ceiling inside.
[1123.3s] And all of your ears are ringing at this moment.
[1128.4s] Can't believe that happened.
[1130.6s] Thank you for not passing me the torch in there.
[1133.5s] Maybe.
[1134.2s] Am I yelling?
[1135.5s] Maybe we should have given a warning before a warning.
[1140.1s] We kind of did it in a roundabout way, I think.
[1142.7s] Well, he explained an ethereal plane
[1146.2s] and there's something about a hand
[1147.8s] and then said, let's watch it.
[1150.5s] So we did.
[1151.5s] There was an implied potential explosion.
[1153.4s] There was an implied.
[1155.0s] I don't know.
[1155.5s] It was just cool.
[1157.9s] That's a fireball, William.
[1161.0s] Oh, where does that fuck around here?
[1164.2s] Is Cav still in their cell?
[1166.7s] We got to bust him out, too.
[1168.5s] Yeah.
[1169.8s] I want to try to redeem myself.
[1171.8s] Fuck!
[1173.0s] I did one.
[1174.0s] Oh, you should do it like this.
[1175.8s] Like.
[1177.6s] No.
[1178.2s] It's impossible.
[1179.3s] I don't know how they did.
[1180.5s] I understand it one.
[1182.4s] It's different locking mechanisms.
[1184.6s] Like it's from an era by the past.
[1187.2s] This is why they discontinued these.
[1188.4s] They were too hard to.
[1191.2s] The guards couldn't even unlock them with the keys.
[1193.8s] There's no way to do it.
[1194.8s] The fact that they're in there right now
[1196.6s] is just mind boggling.
[1198.7s] I'm going to blast him.
[1200.2s] All right.
[1201.2s] Again, Eldritch Blast, go Cav.
[1205.8s] Give me another dex save.
[1207.0s] You're the only one on that side now.
[1208.8s] Only six for damage.
[1212.1s] Hold on.
[1213.5s] Oh, 20.
[1214.2s] OK.
[1215.2s] Hell yeah.
[1216.2s] Insight.
[1217.0s] Now you know exactly what's going to happen.
[1218.6s] You're dodging all of the shards.
[1220.8s] There are more of them this time.
[1225.0s] Nina comes out and says, I didn't think
[1226.4s] he could move that fast.
[1228.2s] That was beautiful.
[1229.5s] That was good.
[1230.0s] I think he's getting hungry.
[1231.2s] Oh, that could be.
[1232.4s] Yes, I have seen him move very fast
[1234.8s] to the free snack buffet.
[1236.9s] Yes.
[1237.5s] Yeah, the sooner we're out here,
[1239.2s] the sooner we can get some snacks.
[1241.7s] I go for some hot dog or.
[1243.2s] Oh, yes.
[1244.2s] Like pizza.
[1245.0s] I like pizza.
[1246.8s] Hey, I hate to spoil the party,
[1249.6s] but we kind of just blew up part of the city.
[1251.8s] I don't think we're going to stop for snacks.
[1254.7s] No, no, no.
[1255.2s] We need to get the fuck out of here.
[1257.0s] The snacks are the reward.
[1258.5s] Yeah.
[1259.0s] Yeah, no, once we get out, like she
[1261.6s] peeks her head through the hole,
[1263.7s] this probably leads somewhere.
[1265.5s] You said there are well-known tunnels
[1268.0s] under this city.
[1269.8s] All we need to do is find the tunnels,
[1271.6s] and then we can get to the city hall.
[1273.5s] We can get the evidence.
[1274.9s] And then Bob's your uncle.
[1277.3s] Cabs free.
[1278.6s] I can disappear into the night.
[1280.3s] Easy.
[1280.7s] All's good.
[1281.8s] Wait, where are those books?
[1283.2s] You can't disappear.
[1285.4s] Why not?
[1286.0s] Because then we'll be on the run forever.
[1289.3s] Why do you have to be on the run?
[1290.3s] We kind of need you for some evidence, please.
[1292.3s] For justice.
[1292.8s] Well, yes, I get you the evidence.
[1295.0s] Fine.
[1296.5s] But do they need to see my face?
[1298.0s] Like, I've been down here for three weeks,
[1299.4s] and all I've seen is dreck.
[1300.8s] Yeah, but I think it's pretty important
[1302.9s] to be able to tell them that they couldn't find you,
[1306.6s] and you were in a cell directly beneath the courthouse.
[1311.4s] The people need to know.
[1314.0s] OK.
[1316.0s] Or we don't give them the satisfaction.
[1318.0s] We say that we found you.
[1321.2s] You weren't in jail, and you're
[1322.8s] here to right the wrongs that
[1324.6s] have been done in your name.
[1327.2s] Whatever works best for the story.
[1330.8s] I'm just here to support whatever you need from me.
[1335.8s] I will supply the evidence.
[1338.4s] We just have to get through that hole, which is now,
[1340.9s] not surprisingly, much larger.
[1343.2s] Yeah, thanks.
[1343.7s] That's great.
[1344.4s] I was not looking forward to squeezing through that.
[1347.3s] It doesn't appear that the guards, maybe the guards left.
[1349.9s] They just locked us in here and hoped that maybe we
[1352.4s] ran out of oxygen.
[1355.1s] Unrelated explosion, I guess.
[1356.8s] I don't know.
[1357.2s] Earthquake.
[1358.3s] She looks down at Alydin.
[1360.2s] Mayor Knops is not a good person.
[1363.2s] I know.
[1365.3s] OK.
[1366.4s] They're both paid off by Mayor Knops.
[1368.6s] You've been down here three weeks.
[1370.0s] You would have run out of oxygen.
[1371.5s] They had the door open.
[1372.1s] I've spent time in a box.
[1373.5s] They had the door open.
[1374.4s] She walks over, and she looks into the giant hole,
[1382.2s] be like, let's get out of here.
[1384.2s] Do any of you guys also have dark vision?
[1387.2s] Yes.
[1388.0s] No.
[1390.0s] So just you, sir, wizard.
[1396.0s] How about you?
[1396.5s] We worked together for three years.
[1399.3s] Yes.
[1401.7s] As advisors to the mayor.
[1403.6s] I had to really sell that I hated you, Bazaar.
[1411.6s] I know your name.
[1413.6s] I just fall back into it.
[1414.9s] Oh, I don't care about Bazaar.
[1417.2s] I've crawled through this hole.
[1418.1s] I'm not slipping him secret notes that he's not seeing ever always.
[1422.2s] I didn't see secret notes.
[1423.4s] These are like those stories you read Benson where they're like,
[1426.0s] oh, we're unrequited lovers hiding in dark circles.
[1428.6s] Yes.
[1431.0s] Retardant Flames is the most recent one I've read.
[1434.6s] I like this.
[1441.6s] I like the sequel, Don't Extinguish My Love.
[1444.0s] Yes.
[1445.0s] I haven't got that far.
[1446.2s] Don't tell me don't spoil it.
[1448.3s] So mad.
[1449.2s] What do I see in this tunnel that I've heard this cave cavern?
[1454.5s] I've gone ahead.
[1455.3s] I'm exploring.
[1456.8s] OK, you can you can all go in.
[1458.3s] The child does not have dark vision, right?
[1460.2s] Yes, she does.
[1461.0s] She's half elf.
[1462.0s] Hail.
[1463.7s] You go through and anybody else who?
[1465.9s] Well, I mean, everybody else has to go through there at some point.
[1468.4s] No, I'm good. Bye bye.
[1470.6s] I live here now.
[1471.0s] This is why I leave here.
[1472.3s] It's going to be here.
[1473.2s] Have a good one.
[1474.6s] Everybody goes through and it opens into more of like a cave inlet,
[1479.2s] which there appears to be like tally marks on the inside of this cave.
[1485.8s] And you get in a little further and there's a skeleton on the floor.
[1490.7s] Is tally dead?
[1494.0s] Tally marks.
[1494.5s] Rust, what'd you do?
[1496.4s] Not tally marks.
[1499.4s] Tally marks.
[1500.6s] Wow.
[1502.4s] Is that tally's last name?
[1504.8s] Is that tally's last name, Marks?
[1506.2s] That could be tally's last name.
[1509.1s] I mean, she doesn't know her last name, but it's probably Marks.
[1511.4s] It's probably Marks.
[1512.4s] Yeah, you got me.
[1514.4s] Yeah, the child is dead.
[1516.3s] It is not.
[1517.8s] It's Bazaar's fault.
[1518.7s] It's Kyle's fault, everybody.
[1520.4s] Hi, how are you doing?
[1522.1s] Like, that's the worst thing I've done on this podcast.
[1524.2s] Any trauma on this podcast is Kyle's fault.
[1526.6s] Usually, yes.
[1529.2s] I would like to summon my familiar.
[1531.9s] OK.
[1533.8s] I kind of like reach into my.
[1536.0s] Benson runs up behind you.
[1538.0s] Yeah, he's here the whole time.
[1541.5s] You called?
[1544.0s] All right.
[1544.3s] Let's let me go back to my specs.
[1546.0s] Yes, I summoned a guy when I was looking up the one I could summon.
[1552.3s] I think it was a coding error in D&D Beyond.
[1556.0s] But I was like, I just summoned a guy.
[1557.9s] Like, it's like a dude.
[1560.3s] It's like, I mean, I don't think they want you to.
[1563.0s] But like some of the D&D Beyond, you know, if you click the button,
[1565.9s] I'm going to summon Jeffrey.
[1568.3s] It's a it's a could be summonable, but it's it's an it's an owl.
[1575.2s] It's your kind of bog standard,
[1579.6s] sort of like what you think about an owl, what it is.
[1583.2s] And I kind of reach into my
[1586.2s] crumpled suit pocket and like kind of like pull out like I'm pulling out
[1591.1s] like a handkerchief or something.
[1592.2s] But you see like
[1594.9s] glowing ethereal lines come out.
[1597.0s] And then the owl goes and plays up like, all right, Murdock, go fly around.
[1601.6s] Make sure we don't get, I don't know, ambushed or what have you.
[1606.6s] He just took an owl out of his pocket.
[1609.9s] How's that for being a wizard?
[1611.8s] Kidding, kidding, kidding, kidding.
[1614.1s] That's your thing, not my thing.
[1615.7s] No, I mean, you know, it's a it's a good spell.
[1618.1s] I don't know it.
[1619.5s] So very impressive.
[1621.3s] Owl flies off out of sight.
[1623.1s] Alydin's like right beside you.
[1624.7s] Teach me. All right.
[1626.2s] Well, it's less of a teach and more of
[1629.0s] make a couple of promises you got to keep or else situation.
[1633.0s] You don't want to get into that kid, maybe 10 more years.
[1636.8s] She takes a step back.
[1637.6s] You don't have to get into that.
[1639.3s] No more years, none.
[1641.4s] Hey, hey, sometimes it's the best option.
[1643.4s] I don't know. You can make a lot of promises.
[1647.1s] Thurston here, promises every day.
[1650.2s] I keep my promises.
[1653.0s] Some of them, too.
[1655.1s] Owl comes back, relays to you.
[1659.3s] What did we say?
[1660.7s] You don't you don't see, but you can telepathically communicate.
[1664.4s] In a sense, yeah.
[1665.7s] Yeah. Yeah.
[1666.7s] So, yeah, I communicate to you that there is more of a up around the bend.
[1672.2s] There's more of a
[1674.8s] a manmade structure, and it does appear to be like an old aqueduct.
[1679.7s] There's a few
[1682.6s] egresses down along the way as far as he could go within that time period
[1686.8s] and come back.
[1688.2s] A lot of them do appear to be sealed off
[1691.4s] by more structure, you could assume, based on how deep you've gone into the ground,
[1697.4s] like almost like parts of city on top of the city kind of thing.
[1703.4s] I relay the information.
[1704.9s] So all we need to do is get to City Hall.
[1707.8s] And if we are at the courthouse, we shouldn't be too far.
[1712.2s] Does anybody remember which direction the City Hall was?
[1718.4s] I've been down here for three weeks.
[1720.0s] Like left is right, the right is up, down is.
[1722.8s] That's why they have the spiral staircase.
[1724.8s] I was about to say, we turned right 36 times on the way down here.
[1728.4s] It's very discombobulating.
[1730.4s] That's why it's so confusing.
[1733.5s] They must have done that on purpose.
[1735.5s] So you get disoriented coming down into the earth.
[1738.3s] That makes me really upset.
[1740.6s] That there was reason for the thing that they did at the beginning.
[1744.4s] And it worked.
[1745.5s] I usually love functional design, but not in this case.
[1749.0s] Yeah, this is hostile architecture.
[1751.0s] Mm hmm.
[1751.9s] Does anybody have any background in like city infrastructure?
[1756.2s] Anybody? No.
[1758.3s] Cab, did you pay attention
[1760.4s] when you spent that week in city infrastructure course?
[1764.1s] Yeah, you could probably muddle through.
[1767.4s] I have a plus three in nature.
[1768.7s] Can I like just tell which way is north?
[1772.4s] With disadvantage, you could roll.
[1774.1s] All right.
[1775.9s] Disadvantage, hey. Yeah.
[1779.2s] Roll twice, take the worst.
[1780.7s] All right. Well, that's pretty good.
[1784.4s] It doesn't. Yeah, then 19. Yeah, that's great.
[1787.8s] And then the second one is a 19.
[1790.8s] It's a 15, not bad.
[1792.8s] 15 is not bad. That's great.
[1795.3s] Yeah, Alydin, you've been stuck in a lot of underground places,
[1799.1s] a lot of boxes, a lot of holes, a lot of ethereal places
[1804.2s] where there is no perceptive north, south, east, west.
[1809.3s] This place, all in all, seems rather easy to you.
[1813.4s] And as everybody's trying to look around,
[1815.0s] trying to get their bearings, it like comes to you
[1818.5s] the direction that you need to go and you need to follow the aqueduct.
[1822.7s] Like straight down.
[1825.4s] And at least you get the good perspective of where City Hall is.
[1830.8s] We have to go this way.
[1832.7s] She points down the aqueduct.
[1836.4s] I'll trust you.
[1838.8s] Very well. Wow, that was easy.
[1843.8s] I mean, if you can't trust a 14 year old, who can you trust?
