1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160 Nobody worry, Dumbgeons and Dragons will begin in a moment. 2 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:47,060 The Hot Block is bustling as crates of chickens have spilled out into the street, ethane running 3 00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:53,200 out trying to grab them all, yelling back into Everbane's as we hear the hammer just 4 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,640 down hasn't stopped in what feels like days. It's probably been quite a long, but the 5 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,320 stacks have been just pluming with smoke and inside we see Bonwyn who's just drenched 6 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,400 in sweat, has projects scattered all around her. As we kind of zoom in on this, there's 7 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,680 a quick tap on your shoulder which breaks your concentration for just a moment. 8 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Oh, oh, hi. Turn and you see Neven. Hi, buddy. Hi. Hi, I miss you. I miss you too. You 9 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,200 have been gone for so long and. Oh, well, because the forge and it wasn't working and 10 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,280 then this backlog and then this huge order, you know, like wealthy new guy and just 11 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,000 like a lot. I've just been so busy. I'm so sorry. How are you? No, I've been 12 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,960 really, I've been, I mean, I've been really good because we haven't been hanging 13 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,480 out going on our usual escapades. I've actually gotten some work done and 14 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,280 surprisingly, I enjoy it. That's amazing. I didn't think that was the case. I'm so 15 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,720 happy for you. Yeah. But it looks like you've got a lot going on. So this is 16 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,880 the backlog from being gone. Backlog from being gone into the. I say no more. Say 17 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,120 no more. Yeah. Plus then forge problems. Couldn't get that going. I think I told 18 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,319 you. Yeah, I mean, we kind of fill you in on more details on that. Kind of crazy. 19 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:24,159 Aren't you supposed to be at a trial too? Well, here's the thing. I had a 20 00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:29,360 quick chat with June and June said, don't talk to the cops. That is something 21 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,439 June would say. I was like, OK, but like the things already done and she 22 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:37,759 was like, don't talk to the cops. And I was like, OK, but like I didn't 23 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,599 really. And it's it's calf. And she made it very clear to me that my good 24 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:56,399 nature would probably be bad for me in that situation. And I might find myself 25 00:02:56,399 --> 00:03:04,000 arrested. And she, you know, she can, you know, you never get over that 26 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,280 kind of fear and respect you have for a teacher in a way. And with everything 27 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,840 going on and her really hammering that home, really hammering it in, I thought 28 00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:20,639 I'm sure they're fine. They're doing great. They don't need me messing 29 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:27,280 things up with honesty or bad lies. So I'm just working through it. And at 30 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,719 that moment, June pokes her head in that she was walking by on the 31 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:35,599 street. She yells to you, Manwin. Yeah, no, this is Neven. All right. No 32 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,840 cops in here. Even is not a cop. You've known even her whole life. Even 33 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800 not a cop. I have not talked to a cop. I've not talked to a lawyer. 34 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,680 I've not talked to a sheriff, not talked to a city guard. I've not 35 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,120 talked to a security guard. No one cop or cop adjacent because I know 36 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,000 my rights. Right, June? That's right. You do. Yeah, but I hope calf's 37 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,039 OK. Neven and she exits. 38 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,560 Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast and I'm your 39 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,039 dungeon master Russ More, he him.

We hope to see 49 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,199 you over there and now fuck it. Let's play. We have to go this 50 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:53,120 way. She points down the aqueduct. I'll trust you. Very 51 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,920 well. Wow, that was easy. I mean, if you can't trust a 14 52 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,279 year old, who can you trust? You all follow along this small 53 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:09,680 narrow walkway along what is like, as Tim aptly described 54 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,599 gray water, the smell that did disperse when the 55 00:05:13,599 --> 00:05:16,879 explosion went off is starting to come back. There 56 00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:21,120 are even like still spots of flame that have erupted on 57 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,079 plants that are somehow growing down in this dark space. 58 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:31,199 You come to a ladder, an old rickety wooden ladder that is 59 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,120 along the path that Alydin has been leading you. You 60 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,279 look up and like you can see can't even really see 61 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,719 anything above you like it looks like it's sealed over in 62 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,680 with something who would like to if you want to 63 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,360 climb up. I'll give it a go as you begin to climb 64 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,600 the wood like cracks underneath your feet. It doesn't break 65 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,960 but it is unstable. The wood has swollen from all of the 66 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760 moisture down here and as you put your hand onto it like 67 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,320 there's moss growing and slimy and slippery make an 68 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,519 athletics or acrobatics check to climb up. As I hear the 69 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:19,439 crack, Alydin lunges to like hold the bottom of the 70 00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:26,480 ladder. Nice. That is a 17 on acrobatics. You feel your 71 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,759 hand slip as soon as as soon as it's going. You brace 72 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,279 yourself and quickly climb up the top and it goes into 73 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:38,960 this shaft into the earth and you get to the top where 74 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,600 this is and like it's packed in with dirt but as you 75 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,760 like evaluate where you are like it you can almost hear 76 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,680 like an echoing wind above you. What's up there? 77 00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:01,280 I I feel like I can hear wind so hold on. No, it's 78 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,240 just dirt. Let me see what I could do. I'm going to take 79 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200 out a dagger and I'm going to try to poke a little bit at 80 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,360 the dirt that's on the like the other side of the hole 81 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,240 from me not like right above me. Never dig straight up. 82 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,200 Minecraft taught me that. Dirt begins to fall down on 83 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,040 top of you, Alydin. Like shift to the side. My hands 84 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,240 still on the ladder. My bad. Getting your dirt out of 85 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,759 my hair. You're chipping away and it doesn't take too long 86 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,920 before like the ground becomes weaker and easier to 87 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,000 move and manipulate and like there's this comparatively 88 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,439 fresh air that begins to pour into the tunnel as you 89 00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:47,840 make a small hole in the in the roof above you. Cool. 90 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Can you send an invisible eyeball up instead of putting 91 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120 your head up? Is it even big enough for me to put my 92 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,199 head up or am I just like able to see out of it? You 93 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,759 would be able to see well actually you don't have 94 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,319 dark vision so you wouldn't really be able to see much. 95 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:03,439 There's no light that comes in just just wind pouring in 96 00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,439 so if you continue to chip away at it the the gets you 97 00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:10,000 can make it as large as you need to at this point like 98 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,279 you know how far you need to go. I'm going to look down 99 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,240 like well it's it's night time I can't tell exactly 100 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,879 where we're at but I think this is the whole I mean you 101 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,319 said it was this way Alydin so we might as well 102 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,120 continue with it right? Yep. You chip away and you make 103 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,280 the hole as wide as you need to for you to be able to 104 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,399 climb up and through and as as it does any light torch 105 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:42,399 any small torch light that's coming up from beneath you 106 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:46,000 you poke your head up and in and you realize that you 107 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,919 are in the cave system. Oh shit the caves yeah come up. 108 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:57,199 Like the caves? Uh huh uh huh. I clamber up that ladder. What are 109 00:08:57,199 --> 00:09:00,879 the caves? Watch me clamber in. I mean you know the ones with 110 00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,879 definitely not goblins in them. I spent a long time down 111 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:08,079 here. Well great news that means we got a 112 00:09:08,079 --> 00:09:13,519 rather regular cave nowhere with uh with all this great day 113 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,480 great day great day. They didn't say that there'd be 114 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,879 caves in this sir. Never do. No never do. This is only the 115 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:28,080 third time. Fool me once shame on me. We're not going to get paid for this by the way. No I don't think so. 116 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200 We did take that we did take half payment up front so that was very 117 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,600 smart of us but maybe next time. Keep an eye out for any uh shiny rocks or 118 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,879 did that skeleton have anything on him? I mean oh I didn't check 119 00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:42,320 usually we check all the skeletons that we find yeah 120 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,879 everybody can make their way up. Bazaard warns you enough to tell you 121 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,400 like you know take it one at a time the moss is there 122 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,160 slippery so you can all make it up you can in your own time there's no 123 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,200 huge rush or danger around you and you all get up into the cave 124 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,440 system and like I guess for 125 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,880 for Thurston like this is a you you still find yourself underneath 126 00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:13,759 Vintersmouth but how far you went down like this is an entire 127 00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:20,000 like street structure basically with forks that go off like this 128 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,840 appears to be following some structure underneath the city it's a city under 129 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,279 the city so it's like following some sort of planned out logic not 130 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,679 just that does appear to be that way and 131 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:35,440 Alydin as you get up and in you had previously like quite well mapped 132 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,280 out this cave system even marking different turnoffs and you even see 133 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400 some of your markings along the way and you can place 134 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,640 yourself um you're like out in the town like the 135 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,560 noble side of the city town square like that's where you think you are 136 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:55,760 at this point okay so up there should be 137 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,600 the town square and 138 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,519 that means city hall's this way points in a particular direction that is 139 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,120 correct how much time did you spend down here dear 140 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,159 oh a little bit 141 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240 there you grow up on the streets you got no parents 142 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,159 you find yourself find your own fun tunnels yes you found yourself in 143 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,360 tunnels it's good to have a hobby kept me out of trouble 144 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,759 are you leading Alydin yeah oh no offense it did not 145 00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:33,519 Alydin charges ahead everybody following behind 146 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,319 and uh you uh round a corner where you believe city hall to be 147 00:11:40,319 --> 00:11:48,559 make a perception check Alydin first perception it's a zero 148 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,360 i rolled a seven 149 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,360 all my rolls have been really good up to this point you 150 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,120 think you hear something up ahead but you quickly dismiss it 151 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,240 and continue forward bizarre to assume you're probably pretty close behind 152 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,399 i'd be right behind Alydin yeah you as you as you are following behind her 153 00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,120 you see her stop and that gives you pause you want to make 154 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,759 a perception check or an investigation check at this point 155 00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,560 investigation you're gonna investigate my perception of the 156 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,600 situation that's right got a six yay pretty good pretty good 157 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,200 kyle how are we supposed to be a team

he moves pretty quick all 221 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:30,559 surprisingly for his previous demeanor okay Alydin you hear bizarre muffled 222 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:34,559 screaming you can kind of clock him he's up in one of the corners bizarre 223 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:41,679 can't really see much in this space uh but you see a uh a figure 224 00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:45,119 straining against some webbing would you say he's wriggling 225 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,720 yeah all right i don't know why that's important 226 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:56,240 i'm going to take out my slingshot and my

to the end and the rock reappears 232 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:27,120 in my bucket uh the rock shoots out and it glows 233 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,400 as it hits into the spider which causes it to recoil 234 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,480 and and like raise up much like a horse might 235 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:40,559 um and you see all of its like long gangly teeth as it lands back 236 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:42,880 down bizarre it's your turn you are 237 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:49,280 currently restrained by webbing you can make a strength 238 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:57,760 check to

00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,400 um and as your what i will give you is like you can 248 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,920 like you can see you know i told you you couldn't see because it's so 249

shoots past 258 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:20,000 you and splats onto the ground and like you see benson 259 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,680 hop to the side as well hey this is my last clean suit 260 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,639 well clean enough the other one is going to 261 00:20:26,639 --> 00:20:30,079 scale the wall um and is now on the ceiling 262 00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:38,720 and it does not recharge um but you hear from somewhere 263 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,839 further into this chamber like you hear more 264 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:45,199 clicking noises coming echoing off the walls 265 00:20:45,199 --> 00:20:51,599 it is uh cav your turn uh all right uh i can see in the dark uh and am i 266 00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,879 able to perceive that bazaar is struggling 267 00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:59,359 yes you similar to what Alydin has seen you see 268 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:04,400 his figure kind of writhing against the the webbing further into the chamber 269 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,720 probably about 25 feet from where you currently are 270 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,880 yeah and the spiders are in between he and i correct 271 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,320 yeah there's one that's directly on thirstin who rushed in 272 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,080 ahead of you and then there's one that you've seen 273 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,200 not disappear but is now on the ceiling above you 274 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,200 does cav have any weapons if he has been detained 275 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,480 does not have his normal weapon oh punch him 276 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,000 punch a spider in the face uh well luckily 277 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000 uh cav can cast some spells do that instead 278 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,480 much better uh we'll go with that all right uh 279 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:49,680 i'm gonna cast uh sacred flame all right hell yeah and i'm gonna try to 280 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,720 uh center it like right in front of 281 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:59,120 i guess i don't know it's radiant not exactly 282 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:05,759 fire but uh i'd like to set it in front of bazaar to hopefully help like his 283 00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:08,640 efforts right and maybe we'll help him see 284 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,799 as well all right um roll me some damage 285 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:16,559 please because you're not trying to hit something necessarily but 286 00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:23,279 i can do that that is five radiant damage 287 00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,960 this flares in front of you bizarre and as it 288 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,759 as it does um you're able to see the room you see all of 289 00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:34,879 all of your friends uh battling these two huge 290 00:22:34,879 --> 00:22:40,319 spiders um and you you also hear this further clicking noise echoing 291 00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,559 and as you look out of the corner of your eye 292 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:46,240 you see the far end of this this chamber starting to flood 293 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:52,319 with more much smaller comparatively much smaller spiders super 294 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:56,000 and the the webbing in front of you begins to fray and splinter from the 295 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,119 this light that cav has cast i can dig it 296 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,599 welcome to the middle the middle you're in it 297 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:09,200 here it is did we say we're in the middle that's where you are 298 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,720 look at the time stamp it's probably pretty close 299 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,200 maybe not exactly i don't know about the middle isn't like an exact time 300 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,319 in the middle it's frame of mind it's more of a frame of mind thank you 301 00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:24,559 tom exactly exactly we're in a middle frame of mind we're kind of loosey goosey 302 00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:29,759 yeah we're kind of just moosey toosy i was like i'm trying to think of 303 00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:33,519 something to riff with you i was like wet and wild and you know that's not 304 00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,879 it yeah different vibe but sure um when 305 00:23:36,879 --> 00:23:39,200 we are in the middle there's an added bonus 306 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,960 is that we have some people watching us some of our patrons 307 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,519 watching us do this middle why why it's so funny 308 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,240 just train like people are watching us like we need other adult supervision 309 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,519 right now yeah we have lines from the side word 310 00:23:55,519 --> 00:24:00,079 for word it's fantastic but sam just pointed out a very good 311 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,759 uh benefit of being able to watch us 312 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:08,559 in a more australian time zone probably because it's quite it's a 313 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:12,240 little more late for north america uh but is that you can have it up 314 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,519 and it looks like you're in a in a zoom call or in a in a business 315 00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,920 oh yeah absolutely uh if you minimize so you can't see the background because we 316 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,279 do have a fun background we do that does not look businessy 317 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:26,879 but you can just squish it otherwise it does just look like a zoom call 318 00:24:26,879 --> 00:24:30,319 more of the background is taken up so you're right you're right 319 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:35,279 yeah yeah yeah the gelatinous dick on the side you can't really see 320 00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:38,319 that's exactly what i was looking at as well i was like that's hard to 321 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:41,519 pull off in a in a corporate environment but 322 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,279 yeah but you can play with the the perspective of it and uh 323 00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:48,879 sam's much smarter than us so i'm sure absolutely 324 00:24:48,879 --> 00:24:52,879 yeah it's all it's all worked out but how do you how do you get access to 325 00:24:52,879 -->

his face i mean i don't have a lot of hit points disengaging and 563 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,720 running might be the play here big spider is like screaming down on 564 00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:11,519 top of you it's just taking a chunk of out of your shoulder yeah 565 00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:15,440 yeah i'm probably gonna disengage in and try to get away from this thing 566 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,639 you disengage as it as its legs are trying to grapple you um and you are 567 00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:25,360 heading presumably following nina and benson absolutely 568 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,840 anywhere but here all right uh you do so natalie portman 569 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:35,360 susan sir uh thirstin uh we're back to you as cav you kind of disappear 570 00:42:35,360 -->

00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:01,599 are next um so any chatter things we can 575 00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:04,720 kind of make that all happen at once before the spiders get another 576 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,360 turn okay yeah all right i think we should 577 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:15,360 dip like all your friends did so uh i'll take the um 578 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,880 i'll dash with my cunning action whatever it's called 579 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:27,360 okay but on my way out i'll peep you uh shoot eldritch blast at the 580 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,840 hey fuck you fuck you uh and then i roll that 581 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:39,039 all right how this game works ass uh so the first one is 10 uh the 582 00:43:39,039 --> 00:43:42,800 second one is 19 there we go so the first eldritch blast 583 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,800 goes and misses uh the spider but hits the wall and like 584 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,160 lights up the web along the wall um which is starting to illuminate the 585 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,320 room and you see as you're running like this flood of spiders coming in 586 00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,640 from on the far side uh give me damage on the second one 587 00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:08,960 oh no uh that would be uh six okay six that spider lets out a 588 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,239 scream as it like slumps down in front of bizarre and 589 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,879 Alydin as you two begin to run and follow 590 00:44:14,879 --> 00:44:18,079 so uh i got a 60 total feet of movement 591 00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:22,559 okay so yeah you round the corner and like quickly catch up to everybody 592 00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:25,920 and like almost and and bypass seeing another 593 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,599 another um chamber on the other side that they are 594 00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:33,679 that you can assume they're heading towards um 595 00:44:33,679 --> 00:44:39,199 uh Alydin anything you want to do as you are now running as well i assume 596 00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:42,239 oh i'm just gonna run i'm not gonna try to 597 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,319 fuck around and find out yep no okay cool uh you're gonna bolt 598 00:44:46,319 --> 00:44:50,639 followed by bizarre yep i'm gonna i'm gonna bolt i'm gonna 599 00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:53,920 take the torch as i do i'm gonna do control flames and 600 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,119 shoot five feet out into just a patch of web and hope it starts 601 00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:01,279 spreading with the rest of the eldritch fire and as you all burning shit that's 602 00:45:01,279 --> 00:45:06,400 what we do flames are so flammable too 603 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,079 the flames are quickly lighting up and you hear the spiders call 604 00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:14,480 from the other side um the one that is was still uh 605 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,400 living um you hear it chattering towards the other group 606 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,519 who as the flames begin to spread through the webs 607 00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:24,719 turn tail and head back down the way they came 608 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,280 you all head down a chamber and Alydin you quickly realize where you are now 609 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,920 you're like beneath city hall um nina's catching up and there's a 610 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,320 a ladder that's going up and she's starting to climb or like directing you 611 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,600 guys to start climb that ladder i'm sure that's not going to come 612 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,360 back to bite us in the butt no it'll be fine spiders like caves 613 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:50,560 it's fine i don't live here i don't live here it's not going to 614 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,520 bite me or thirsty in the butt we're out of here as soon as we 615 00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:55,599 figure out how to get out of here right bud 616 00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:00,079 oh absolutely absolutely i think we did our we did our stuff we did justice 617 00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:03,840 plus uh i think we did a little too much justice if you ask me 618 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:09,360 uh you're stammering as you're all climbing up this 619 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,119 ladder hey who wants to be first up the top 620 00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:19,119 uh let let me go first as uh i feel bad about you running for 621 00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:23,039 first and then you get into your spider situation 622 00:46:23,039 --> 00:46:26,960 thirst and you're first up there's a um you get to the top and there's this 623 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,759 wooden covering up at the top you kind of push it and 624 00:46:29,759 --> 00:46:33,759 there's some resistance to it uh you want to make a strength check 625 00:46:33,759 --> 00:46:41,199 oh crap or oh another creative way to open the 626 00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:44,400 uh i say now you see here mr dork no get out of the way 627 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,840 uh now i got i got a 17 i rolled good enough i don't god use my damn 628 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,559 brain yeah yeah first couple you kind of 629 00:46:50,559 --> 00:46:53,920 like you throw yourself against you feel like there's something on top box 630 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,920 a desk or something um and then with the surge of 631 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:04,400 adrenaline you push your way up um which knocks over this 632 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,679 somewhat heavy box on top and you find yourself 633 00:47:07,679 --> 00:47:11,759 quickly into you're welcome uh you find yourself 634 00:47:11,759 --> 00:47:16,960 in an old storage room um you climb up and everybody falls in behind 635 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,639 what's with this town and it's goddamn storage rooms oh my gosh 636 00:47:20,639 --> 00:47:24,000 everybody's trying to uh to cover up all 637 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,320 anything they can uh but it appears that we are inside city hall so 638 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,840 what we need to do is be very quiet and she moves over to the door and 639 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,559 looks out and there's nobody here she opens the 640 00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:41,519 door wider and you all step out into the hall and 641 00:47:41,519 --> 00:47:45,599 it's like dead quiet in this building that's good 642 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,319 it's quiet in my opinion it isn't too quiet 643 00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:55,679 okay no that's fine as long as this is normal for everybody else 644 00:47:55,679 --> 00:47:59,920 certainly not normal for me um we just got a good feeling about this 645 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:03,679 yeah yeah um it is after hours the mayor doesn't work 646 00:48:03,679 --> 00:48:06,719 uh at all i was about to say full stop 647 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:11,199 yeah at all um you find him here once maybe a month and that's usually 648 00:48:11,199 --> 00:48:13,039 when somebody's coming to pay him off 649 00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:16,880 uh so uh let's head there get the books we need 650 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:22,239 and then you can uh wrap up this little trial and uh 651 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,559 hopefully no ramifications as uh we all disappear into the night 652 00:48:26,559 --> 00:48:29,440 easy i mean when you put it that way it sounds great 653 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,559 your friends just show up and save the day that was your plan 654 00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:36,400 cav you weren't even gonna try and do anything work like it's working out 655 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,759 you're bleeding quite profusely though uh we should probably get 656 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,800 yeah you probably get that checked out 657 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,320 as the adrenaline starts to wear off cav you require a little assistance going 658 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,520 down the hall which is reminiscent to your recent adventures 659 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:59,200 um as uh nina leads you to the mayor's office she 660 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,640 creaks open the grotesquely um ordained door 661 00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:10,879 and into this massive chamber uh where lined with books everywhere and she 662 00:49:10,879 --> 00:49:14,480 says um some somewhere under and she goes to 663 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,319 the desk she pops a button and like this credenza 664 00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:22,239 opens up um and inside are the books that you 665 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,119 recognize cav the ledgers that you recognize that you 666 00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:32,400 uh well i guess everybody recognizes um except for thirst and benson 667 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,840 so this is what you're looking for and she flips them open and says 668 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,320 i don't think they've mucked around with any of these she's kept them all 669 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,920 exactly as they once were and held on to all of them 670 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,800 he's not smart it's very cocky like i said as incompetent as they are evil 671 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,760 she grabs them and starts handing books out to everybody 672 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:59,200 um so from here do we just plan to stroll back into the courthouse 673 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,720 if we could uh clandestinely give the judge 674 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:07,520 some of this stuff i think uh that that would help for sure 675 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,800 and we could probably just do like a mistrial then bing bang boom done 676 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,240 i think so and then that's you know enough to get cav uh 677 00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:20,480 off uh again just enough back into the place we can get him patched up 678 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,320 and then uh perhaps you'll run uh you know the 679 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,320 the interrogation uh the prosecution from the other side 680 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:33,920 yes thurston you want another job i i love money i mean i don't really think 681 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,920 i'm gonna get paid for this one so yeah well and she goes to another drawer 682 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,480 and pulls out uh a large sack of gold 683 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:48,960 and tosses it to you says uh i can't accept that benson get it 684 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,360 grab that of course sir you saw nothing uh he drags i can't accept 685 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,800 that the bag across and like slips it into his 686 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,000 side patch we saw nothing we did nothing 687 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,760 uh we can take any jobs that you have in the future though that's uh that's 688 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,400 for certain yeah we love working we love uh justice 689 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:15,440 we love going beyond and getting uh our our feet dirty as they say 690 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,800 we cut ahead and we see all of you walking 691 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,800 out of the courthouse um not in handcuffs 692 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:29,760 you see or before this entire riot that bazaar just started um there 693 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:37,680 oh yeah everybody kind of calms down as they see you come out and silences to 694 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,920 see if you have anything to say we're coming out to the brooklyn 99 695 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,600 intro song by the way just yeah of course everybody knows 696 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:52,560 as we can see my client is uh well not guilty so uh uh yet again justice 697 00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:55,759 prevails there's a cheer from the crowd as you 698 00:51:55,759 --> 00:51:58,639 say that and then they all simmer down as benson's 699 00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:04,799 like just a second just a second and as we all know keep good 700 00:52:04,799 --> 00:52:13,199 bookkeeping okay repeat that after me the entire crowd all at once keep 701 00:52:13,199 --> 00:52:19,440 good bookkeeping thank you another lesson learned sir 702
