[0.0s] Dumbgeons and Dragons will begin in a moment. Kavlaranan, you're going to write in this ledger and nothing is happening. No indentation in the paper, no ink being written across the page. Nothing.
[13.8s] So I can't write in this.
[19.4s] Okay, well, that was a good thought.
[22.0s] Yeah.
[22.7s] Like, do you want to use my pencil?
[24.3s] I mean, I'm happy to try it, but I just, like, I can't even, like, dent the page. Like, it's going to accept writing on it.
[34.1s] But sure, toss me the pencil.
[36.2s] I rummage through my bucket and I throw him a pencil. Joe, can you write in it? Is it maybe just for Joe?
[43.9s] You go to scratch something with pencil and same thing, nothing. You hear the sound of the pencil scratching, but nothing is happening to the page.
[55.0s] Joe looks at it and says, I don't believe that ledger is for me.
[62.0s] Do you know who it's for?
[66.2s] I don't believe I'm authorized to remember.
[68.0s] Thought I got him that time, guys.
[69.8s] Yeah.
[70.4s] But if you cannot make a record in the ledger, perhaps the ledger is not ready for any sort of categorization or input.
[82.0s] This is, like, three pay grades above me, guys.
[85.5s] The ledger isn't ready?
[88.4s] Well, you cannot affect the ledger, correct?
[92.8s] Yeah.
[93.2s] I cannot.
[94.9s] Perhaps the ledger is not prepared.
[100.0s] Who prepares the ledger?
[101.9s] Yeah. How do you, how do you prepare a ledger?
[103.9s] Specifically for education.
[105.4s] Hypothetically speaking.
[106.8s] He's trying. Like, he's, you can tell, like, he's not immediately jumping to I don't believe I'm authorized to remember.
[115.1s] He, it looks like he is, like, going through any sort of categorization.
[119.7s] And he's Rolodexing in there.
[121.6s] It's just paper sounds.
[124.9s] He's flipping over.
[126.0s] Pauses in, like, his shoulder slump and he's, I'm sorry, I don't believe I'm authorized to remember.
[135.3s] That's OK.
[137.6s] Don't worry about it, buddy.
[138.9s] We'll figure it out.
[140.3s] We'll figure it out.
[142.2s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a D&D actual play podcast, and I'm your dungeon master, Russ More, he, him.
[148.5s] Also with me today is Amy More as Alydin, she, her.
[152.0s] I know, not everything's a conspiracy.
[154.6s] Carla Maxted as Bonwyn Everbane, she, her.
[157.6s] We've tried so many times.
[159.4s] Tom Laird as Kavlaranan Goldweave, he, him.
[162.4s] Interesting.
[164.2s] And Kyle Clasett as Bizard the Wizard, he, him.
[167.3s] Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
[168.7s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Patreon-supported show, so every twist, every triumph, every
[174.3s] truly questionable decision is possible because of listeners like you.
[179.4s] Join us today at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[182.2s] And now, fuck it, let's play.
[186.2s] Hey, Joe, can I ask you a personal question?
[190.2s] Do you hear anything when you stand in this circle?
[192.7s] Like, does anything happen to you?
[196.0s] Because when I stood in it, like, I heard, yeah.
[198.9s] And there was an effect.
[200.0s] No, no.
[202.1s] He walks in and out of it a couple times.
[205.5s] Nothing happens.
[205.7s] Doesn't do anything, hey?
[208.0s] Me neither.
[212.2s] What do you think, like, you're going to do when we, when we leave?
[215.3s] Just, like, take a break or you have some filing to do or are you going to be bored?
[222.1s] Go back to sleep?
[223.8s] Well, I will check the records and make sure everything has been maintained.
[230.4s] And then await further instruction.
[233.4s] Who is permitted to give you instruction?
[235.8s] I report upward.
[237.8s] But to whom?
[239.4s] I don't believe I'm authorized to remember.
[243.1s] Imagine the current headmaster or headmistress.
[247.6s] Do you know who the current headmaster is?
[252.6s] There was a change in who the headmaster was,
[256.0s] but for some reason that record is lost.
[260.7s] So you'll just stay here and wait?
[267.1s] You'll be here if we need to come back?
[269.9s] Correct.
[271.0s] Fantastic.
[271.9s] I hope to see you soon.
[273.6s] Great.
[275.6s] And he walks over to the filing cabinets and pulls them open.
[281.0s] Pulls one out and begins to read, thumbing through it.
[286.6s] Guys, this feels weird.
[289.6s] Yeah.
[291.8s] Should we take the ledger with us?
[293.9s] Oh, we're taking the ledger with us.
[295.3s] Absolutely.
[296.0s] Okay.
[296.3s] In fact, Alydin, let me go ahead and start.
[297.8s] Let me see that real quick.
[301.4s] As we walk to where we're going to walk,
[303.0s] I'm going to be focusing on casting, identify on the ledger.
[307.1s] Where is it that we are going?
[310.3s] Just walking out real slowly.
[311.5s] Okay, bye, Joe.
[315.8s] Guys, he's going to be so lonely down here.
[318.6s] I highly doubt that.
[320.2s] Yeah, honestly, he seemed like if he just went to sleep
[323.9s] when you found him, I think it's okay.
[328.9s] Should we tell June?
[333.8s] No, I say we keep it secret.
[338.2s] In fact, we're putting that bookshelf back,
[341.1s] and nobody needs to go down there and mess around with that.
[347.1s] I agree.
[347.9s] Seems safer that way.
[349.8s] Okay.
[350.9s] So Bizard, all of you are heading back up.
[354.8s] You hear cabinets opening and closing, filing through papers
[359.9s] as it kind of fades out as you get back up into the proper basement.
[366.6s] It sounds like you push the cabinet back against the hole in the wall,
[371.7s] and you cast identify as you get it back out into the light,
[376.9s] and identify is just something that happens.
[379.4s] Yeah, there's no-
[380.6s] Well, yeah, I mean, there's like a casting time and whatnot, but-
[383.9s] Yeah, sure.
[385.3s] So as that begins to reveal information to you,
[389.6s] so I mean, what you probably could have jumped to fairly quickly
[394.5s] is that the ledger is in fact magical.
[398.3s] You gather that it is dormant.
[402.7s] There's a sense that you get that it is not empty.
[407.9s] The pages are blank,
[410.4s] but the magical nature of it leads you to believe
[415.0s] that perhaps it is concealing some sort of information beneath it.
[420.2s] It is not cursed, it is not sentient, but it is also not complete.
[428.2s] The magic school that you get from that,
[431.4s] because I believe that's something you get as well,
[434.2s] is a hybrid of abjuration, divination, and enchantment,
[442.6s] but none of them are primary.
[445.0s] The dominant magical principle is continuity.
[452.0s] Okay, just to clarify something,
[454.7s] it says you learn its properties and how to use them.
[458.7s] Essentially, I've learned that this is not something for us to be used,
[462.3s] but more of a reference.
[463.6s] Is that what I've gathered?
[464.9s] Yes.
[466.3s] So yeah, you've gathered that the ledger records identities
[471.7s] that pass through institutional thresholds.
[475.3s] Okay, where are we headed?
[478.2s] Do we want to go talk to the historian?
[480.2s] Do we want to see Alistair?
[483.6s] I'm really, I need to think about this book a little bit more
[486.6s] before I really speak more to it,
[490.1s] but we need to think about Lingersville
[493.2s] and what's going to set us up best to head that way.
[496.1s] Yeah, what do we need?
[497.4s] I mean, other than supplies, weapons, etc.
[502.0s] What do we need to know before we go there?
[504.7s] Or what do we think we want to find out when we get there?
[508.5s] Yeah, I guess a little more detail on like
[512.2s] what exactly happened to the town.
[514.8s] Yeah.
[516.6s] That sounds like a historian.
[519.0s] Yeah.
[519.9s] Oh, so we should chat with Candle.
[525.3s] Okay, cool.
[526.0s] Light up our situation a little bit, yeah.
[528.4s] Very illuminating.
[531.5s] Oh, no.
[532.0s] They're going to be like this the whole time.
[536.8s] Okay, cool.
[539.1s] I bet that will make us really popular with this new historian.
[544.8s] He probably, they, she probably loves jokes about their name.
[551.4s] They've never heard before, probably.
[553.9s] Or a million times over.
[555.6s] Sure, they'll be all new.
[560.0s] Are they working in the school?
[561.3s] What's the time of day right now?
[562.9s] School.
[563.4s] We're in that basement.
[565.2s] I mean, you weren't in there at a super, you know,
[568.1s] there were a couple check-ins and you said to do them every 10 or 15 minutes or so.
[573.0s] So like no more than an hour.
[575.4s] Okay.
[576.3s] Yeah, enough time for basically Tally to go run, find, bond, win, and come back.
[583.1s] So it's like the end of the school day.
[585.5s] Yeah, post-lunch, you know, things are wrapping up.
[589.1s] But yes, all educators should still be there.
[593.1s] You enter back into the school and head towards the history class
[599.3s] and the bell rings and students begin to pour out of the of the rooms running off for the day.
[606.2s] You walk into the history class and there a couple students kind of push past you
[613.5s] as you are entering and inside you see a kobold dressed in a very nice cropped
[622.1s] pants and a very clean cut blouse.
[626.7s] She's wearing very small round glasses that extend down to the edge of her nose
[635.1s] and she's erasing the chalkboard and she sees you come in and says,
[638.7s] Alydin, did you forget something?
[639.9s] I actually didn't see you in class.
[642.0s] Is everything all right?
[643.0s] Oh yeah, no, everything's fine.
[644.7s] Sorry, I'll make sure to get the notes from somebody.
[649.6s] Of course, of course.
[651.4s] What can I do for you?
[652.5s] We just were wondering if we could ask you a couple questions.
[656.7s] Okay.
[657.8s] These are, she just realizes the awkwardness of the situation of being a 14-year-old being like,
[666.4s] these are my friends here, these fully grown adults.
[669.8s] These are my peeps.
[671.0s] This is my posse.
[673.6s] This guy's my magic daddy.
[676.5s] This is my government worker and my mom weaponsmith.
[686.5s] There's lots of children with found family at this school,
[689.1s] so that makes a lot of sense.
[691.4s] It's lovely to meet you all.
[693.1s] Hi, Bonwyn.
[694.2s] It's really nice to meet you.
[695.5s] Bizarre.
[696.2s] Cav.
[696.7s] Welcome to the middle, everybody.
[700.4s] Once again, I find myself here.
[702.4s] Every time we come back to the middle.
[707.2s] We have a big announcement that you may have seen on our social medias,
[711.2s] something that we have been wanting to do for a very long time.
[714.3s] We've even tried.
[715.9s] We've even attempted.
[717.4s] We've tried so many times.
[719.0s] I think all of us have tried.
[721.4s] Wait, are we just making another podcast?
[724.4s] We've done that too many times.
[727.6s] That's not the announcement.
[728.6s] No, this one is that we have transcripts for all seasons and episodes of Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[735.8s] All you got to do is you can go to our website, dumdragons.com.
[739.7s] I've added a transcript tab.
[741.5s] You can just go click that link.
[743.3s] It's all searchable.
[744.4s] If you're looking for a specific event,
[747.0s] you can listen along while you're in there.
[749.4s] You can jump to points.
[751.1s] It's pretty frigging cool.
[752.8s] That way you can do it at karaoke.
[755.0s] Exactly.
[755.7s] Absolutely.
[758.2s] I mean, the first episode of season three, at least, right?
[760.8s] Yes, yes.
[761.5s] Yeah, exactly.
[764.0s] And if you, you know, a little help us out.
[767.7s] These things are very close to being good.
[770.4s] I would put them in the 90 to 95% ready to go.
[775.9s] Like there's some fantasy names in there that are hard to catch.
[780.6s] Sure.
[780.8s] If you see an error.
[781.7s] The cast probably doesn't even know how to spell some of them.
[784.0s] Probably not.
[786.3s] You can report that on the site, too.
[788.1s] And it'll come straight to us and we can fix it.
[790.1s] So thank you for that.
[791.8s] And hopefully that helps you enjoy the show better if you need them.
[796.0s] Absolutely.
[797.8s] Just go search for keywords.
[799.1s] It's so fun.
[799.8s] We just did it for like five minutes.
[802.4s] How many times did we say sex?
[805.5s] Look up bitch.
[806.6s] Look up butts.
[807.6s] Oh, God.
[809.6s] We're children.
[811.5s] Absolutely.
[812.5s] But we're children that are more accessible now to more or less be themselves.
[817.9s] Yeah, absolutely.
[819.6s] And all of this is helped in part by our loving Patreon supporters.
[824.5s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

[839.2s] I was looking for something that's true.
[840.8s] I was looking for something different than amazing.

[861.5s] Thanks, Corey.
[862.6s] Thank you so much.
[864.5s] What are we looking at here, Russ?
[866.7s] C-O-R-Y.
[868.6s] Girl, Corey.
[869.6s] C-O-R-Y.
[871.5s] C-O-R-E-Y.
[872.8s] There's a lot of options.
[873.6s] K-O-R-Y.
[875.1s] Corey.
[875.7s] Center of the planet.
[876.7s] On the first one, it was a C-O-R-Y.
[879.1s] Classic Corey.
[881.6s] It's classic.
[882.3s] I love it.
[882.9s] Classic Corey.
[884.8s] Thanks, classic Corey.
[885.8s] You could be classic too at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,
[889.6s] just like Corey.
[891.9s] Thanks for being there.
[893.7s] Get you back to this episode.
[896.8s] Come on back now, you hear?
[899.6s] Come on back now, you hear?
[902.3s] Y'all, come on back now.
[904.6s] Are we trying to interview?
[905.6s] No, I think that's...
[906.6s] I was just trying it on.
[907.4s] I think that's Midnight Burger.
[908.8s] Oh, is that what it is?
[911.0s] I thought it was John Wayne.
[914.0s] Now come on back, kick the dust off your boots anytime.
[916.8s] All right.
[917.6s] Love you, bye.
[918.4s] Love you, bye.
[921.9s] So I'm sorry, you had questions about...
[927.7s] Sorry, did you say what you had questions about?
[930.7s] No.
[931.7s] No, we didn't.
[932.4s] But we do have questions about Lingersville, if you're versed.
[939.1s] I've read up on Lingersville.
[942.1s] Very interesting historical moment in the transition from Lingersville
[946.3s] to Vintersmouth to Vintersmouth.
[950.0s] But yes, what do you know and what can I fill in?
[956.1s] Oh, I think the water went away and that's why.
[961.4s] Yeah, basically just what happened.
[963.6s] It's pretty weird that there was a water problem
[968.1s] and then the whole down basically moved.
[970.3s] I mean, that seems unusual.
[972.8s] Well, yes.
[975.0s] Well, Lingersville...
[976.8s] Well, let's take it back a little bit.
[978.2s] Lingersville was a vineyard settlement.
[981.1s] It centered on Lake Vochtig.
[984.0s] It was built on, as it was well known, remarkably pure water.
[990.4s] That was one of the calling natures of the town.
[997.1s] It flourished for some time, but then residents reported illness.
[1003.2s] There were some strange behavioral effects.
[1007.8s] A water contamination event occurred
[1012.9s] that was directly, in the lessons that I received,
[1020.4s] presumed to have caused the illness.
[1022.9s] So the lake itself was dammed and the town was relocated
[1027.7s] to what would become Vintersmouth.
[1031.1s] And that's when the rise of this town occurred.
[1033.7s] From a small settlement along the river expanding into,
[1038.5s] well, I mean, you could call it the much larger town that it is today.
[1043.0s] And it was an unfortunate but well-managed transition
[1049.6s] under quick action, civic leadership, and forward planning,
[1055.1s] as all the lessons tell.
[1057.6s] Did anyone ever test the water and find out what happened?
[1061.3s] It was interesting because there's mixed reports.
[1065.2s] The contamination itself, I suspect,
[1067.7s] based on what I've been able to research of my own,
[1072.8s] did not appear to be any sort of bacterial contamination.
[1076.2s] I have found discrepancies in the timeline
[1080.4s] that don't quite match public records.
[1085.3s] Oh, like what?
[1086.7s] Well, records from the final year are incomplete
[1091.0s] and the school records are, and I'm talking about here,
[1097.6s] the school records are particularly sparse.
[1100.4s] The relocation planning began before the contamination peaked.
[1108.3s] Checking kind of the timing of all of these like
[1112.9s] is led to believe that Vintersmouth was a town
[1115.2s] that came because of the, quote unquote, fall of Lingersville.
[1122.6s] Wouldn't call it that necessarily.
[1128.0s] It was already being started.
[1129.8s] Exactly. That's right.
[1133.2s] Why would they do that if there wasn't a reason to move the town?
[1138.5s] That is a great question.
[1140.6s] I have found in my travels some records that elude to the fact
[1147.5s] that some families transferred wealth before the crisis.
[1152.6s] And I suspect, I cannot confirm this,
[1156.9s] but I do suspect that there was knowledge
[1160.9s] ahead of public knowledge, if you know what I mean.
[1166.1s] So you're thinking some like insider trading kind of shit going on.
[1170.4s] Yeah.
[1171.2s] Like the elites knew something was going to go wrong
[1174.5s] and started making plans to get out.
[1178.3s] Or did somebody poison the well?
[1184.2s] That is a possible piece of the puzzle, yes.
[1194.9s] I can't substantiate that.
[1196.4s] I've only kind of pieced together different transitions
[1199.5s] and different ledgers and that sort of thing
[1201.9s] and come to my own conclusions.
[1204.3s] Right.
[1205.4s] It's hard to stand on speculation when the evidence just isn't there sometimes.
[1209.2s] Exactly.
[1209.7s] When everything in the historical record points to the fact of the timeline
[1216.1s] that adds up, so to speak.
[1220.1s] Interesting, though.
[1221.3s] Also, I just love gossip.
[1223.7s] I know it's historic, but the elites being bad,
[1227.8s] that just plays right into my worldview.
[1231.9s] Well, that's excellent.
[1234.3s] What do you...
[1236.1s] Well, it sounds like you know...
[1240.1s] You're an Everbane, correct?
[1241.3s] So you've been here for some time,
[1242.7s] or at least your family has, not necessarily you.
[1245.2s] Oh, for sure, since, I mean, for many, many generations.
[1249.6s] I think going back that far.
[1253.0s] The Everbanes go back, as you mentioned, some time.
[1256.5s] And the dam, as much as it was...
[1260.9s] I mean, the dam was framed as a public health measure.
[1264.5s] It required unusual structural reinforcement,
[1270.3s] and they had to call in several smithing families.
[1273.6s] And there are records that the Everbanes
[1276.9s] may have been one of those families.
[1279.7s] Huh.
[1280.7s] I mean, it would explain why we ended up here.
[1284.4s] I mean, a dwarven smithing family,
[1288.2s] I mean, we're definitely still a minority in this town, right?
[1293.7s] So that's interesting.
[1299.5s] So you're saying you think my family
[1301.6s] might have helped build the dam to stop the...
[1305.5s] Yes.
[1306.1s] Yeah, well, I believe so.
[1309.0s] If what I've read holds true, then they may have been a part of it.
[1313.6s] I don't... I have no knowledge or information
[1319.0s] that would insinuate them in any way,
[1321.8s] other than the fact that they were called upon
[1324.6s] to help the public health concern.
[1329.5s] How did building a dam help the public health concern?
[1334.8s] Well, the lake in and of itself,
[1339.1s] with conflicting accounts, of course,
[1344.5s] was believed to be the source of the contamination.
[1348.8s] So damming off the lake,
[1351.1s] removing the water from the lake.
[1354.1s] So they just took all that water out?
[1356.7s] Well, over time, if you cut off the supply,
[1361.3s] the lake will dry up.
[1362.7s] Right.
[1363.5s] Diverted the river,
[1364.5s] and that's how we have the stream going to Kingston.
[1367.2s] Used to be forked.
[1369.0s] If you've walked along up near there,
[1372.0s] where the dam is quite prominent,
[1374.9s] the river forked.
[1375.9s] And that's first pass, went down to Lingersville,
[1380.5s] and then a lesser stream came down this way.
[1383.7s] After the damming, more flow came down this way.
[1388.1s] Wouldn't one assume if there was a contamination in the water
[1392.9s] that it would come from a source?
[1395.3s] One would assume.
[1396.4s] I have thoughts about where you're going with that, Alydin.
[1398.9s] I know.
[1399.3s] Not everything's a conspiracy.
[1402.5s] But maybe.
[1403.0s] But some things are.
[1404.0s] No, I think this very much is.
[1407.3s] Because agreed, something's feeding the lake,
[1410.0s] and there's not a problem coming from elsewhere.
[1415.0s] So it's not like the river going down to Kingston.
[1419.2s] Yeah, it's the same river.
[1420.5s] It's the same river.
[1421.3s] So maybe there was something on the land.
[1424.3s] It was passing through, or someone was doing something.
[1428.2s] Like a runoff situation?
[1429.7s] I think it was something they did at the bottom of that lake.
[1432.5s] Yeah.
[1432.9s] Oh, are you saying you want to get to the bottom of it?
[1435.8s] Yeah, and I pull up my book, Portals, Portals, Portals.
[1438.1s] I'm like, how else could you get a contaminant
[1439.7s] in through water that's not visible?
[1442.8s] Oh, interesting.
[1444.1s] This might be a conversation.
[1446.0s] OK, is bottom of a lake in the index
[1448.6s] a portals, portals, portals?
[1450.3s] It's so hard to say portals three times.
[1452.4s] Why is that?
[1453.2s] It's really hard.
[1455.5s] I don't know.
[1457.1s] The thing earlier sounded a lot harder.
[1458.9s] It's probably because of the store, Portals, Portals,
[1462.1s] which you're probably equating it with.
[1465.7s] More well-known than the book, Portals, Portals, Portals.
[1468.9s] Exactly.
[1469.5s] So you kind of just stop after the two.
[1473.9s] Thanks, Candle.
[1474.9s] Of course, of course.
[1476.7s] More knowledge is good knowledge.
[1479.5s] You're a quick one, Alydin.
[1481.7s] You're asking really good questions.
[1483.2s] Thanks.
[1483.7s] I'm sure they're going to get me into a lot of trouble one day.
[1486.9s] Sounds like Alydin doesn't have to do that homework
[1489.3s] you mentioned earlier.
[1490.6s] No, no, Alydin has to do that homework.
[1495.9s] Won't take you long, Alydin.
[1497.2s] Don't worry.
[1497.9s] We'll get it done before we head to Lingersville,
[1500.1s] which, yeah, Alydin's going to be gone for a little while.
[1503.1s] Oh, sorry, you're heading to Lingersville.
[1506.3s] Oh, did I say that?
[1507.3s] Yeah.
[1511.0s] You did, but that's fine.
[1512.5s] We're camping.
[1514.0s] We just want to make sure that everything is fine
[1516.5s] and we're not going to get some sort of weird disease.
[1520.2s] So you're going there to see if you're not
[1523.6s] going to get some sort of-
[1524.7s] No, no, we came to check with you.
[1526.6s] It was so nice meeting you.
[1528.6s] Thank you so much for your information.
[1530.9s] That was fantastic.
[1532.6s] We have a thing.
[1535.9s] We got to go.
[1537.1s] Oh, right, the thing, of course.
[1538.3s] The thing, right, guys?
[1539.1s] Are you ready for camping?
[1541.1s] Okay.
[1541.5s] It's a family trip.
[1542.8s] Okay.
[1544.1s] Great.
[1544.6s] Well, I'll see you in a couple days, it sounds like.
[1548.7s] With the homework.
[1549.9s] Let's go.
[1550.6s] With the homework.
[1552.0s] Here, take a booklet.
[1553.7s] This is what we'll be working on for the next two days.
[1555.8s] Okay, thanks.
[1556.5s] You actually have to read this one.
[1557.9s] This is how I wish I could behave in real life.
[1560.1s] Awkward conversation.
[1561.1s] I actually need to leave.
[1562.2s] I just have to not be here right now.
[1564.4s] Just walk away.
[1565.2s] Goodbye.
[1566.6s] Yeah, I love it.
[1567.9s] You exit the hallway and are heading back
[1570.1s] towards the front entry into the open courtyard.
[1574.1s] Kids are playing on the playground.
[1577.5s] What do you do?
[1578.1s] Where do you want to go?
[1578.9s] Guys, are you sure we shouldn't tell anybody
[1581.3s] that there is a sentient paper hallmaster monitor
[1585.9s] being in the basement?
[1588.0s] I don't want to tell Tally.
[1589.1s] She's just going to go down there.
[1591.5s] Yeah.
[1592.0s] Yeah, no, we don't want the kids to know.
[1593.7s] I mean, that was the one hard question I had, so.
[1594.5s] Yeah, but like.
[1597.8s] Okay.
[1598.4s] Is it responsible?
[1598.8s] What's the benefit?
[1600.6s] What's the benefit of letting someone know?
[1602.7s] In case he gets out.
[1606.0s] Never got out before, and he's been there
[1608.2s] for like 250 years.
[1611.0s] All right, so what you're saying is
[1614.0s] you guys will be held responsible if anything happens.
[1617.2s] Well, I don't love the way that's framed.
[1620.6s] I mean, that's kind of how it's been.
[1621.9s] I mean, you know, Cav literally went on trial for something.
[1625.3s] True.
[1625.6s] So we're kind of.
[1626.7s] You know what?
[1627.5s] We kind of are responsible, I guess, actually.
[1630.4s] Thanks, Buzzard.
[1631.1s] You're right.
[1631.7s] Yeah.
[1632.4s] It sounded bad, but it's just accurate.
[1634.4s] Yeah, we're responsible for everything that happens to us.
[1637.6s] So we're kind of responsible.
[1641.2s] Okay.
[1642.5s] Okay.
[1643.4s] Do you feel okay, Alydin?
[1645.2s] Yeah, I guess so.
[1646.5s] See, if we told somebody and they went down there
[1648.1s] and got hurt, we'd also be responsible for that.
[1652.1s] Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
[1653.8s] That's right.
[1654.8s] Okay, fair.
[1656.0s] Are we bringing Alistair to Lingersville?
[1660.1s] Oh, um.
[1661.1s] Yeah, we need a tester.
[1663.8s] What?
[1664.8s] What?
