WEBVTT

00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:05.860
Hey there, pants people. Do me a favor. Leave

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:08.400
us a review wherever you're listening. And when

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.779
you're done, come back and enjoy the episode.

00:00:50.890 --> 00:00:53.109
Radiant Citadel, I want to talk a bit about Saint

00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:56.189
-Cityon. Or, more specifically, I want to talk

00:00:56.189 --> 00:00:59.310
about Saint -Cityon City. Nowadays, Saint -Cityon

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.710
City is known mostly for the lively streets of

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.250
Fiesta Town, or the industrial powerhouse of

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:06.870
the Ironworks District. In truth, though, these

00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:09.069
are recent additions to the city, only added

00:01:09.069 --> 00:01:12.629
after the discovery of the Radiant Citadel. Initially,

00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:14.349
the city was formed of only two of its current

00:01:14.349 --> 00:01:17.189
four districts, the old estates and streets of

00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:19.670
Los Cavallanes, as well as those that sit high

00:01:19.670 --> 00:01:23.659
atop. of Papalotlon Hill. At the time, these

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:25.739
two pieces of the city were as one, but this

00:01:25.739 --> 00:01:28.260
is far from the case now. Current tourists to

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:30.040
Sansatian can only enter the immaculate streets

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.799
of Papalotlon Hill under the most fortunate circumstances

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.180
to avoid the dangerous and near -abandoned old

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:39.120
city. Never fear, though, folks of the Concord,

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.159
for there is truly no limit to the entertainments

00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:54.170
and delights to be found in Fiestatown. David,

00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:01.650
I'm never going to be able to pronounce the name

00:02:01.650 --> 00:02:04.530
of that hill. I'm going to trip on every single

00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:10.009
word in this arc. I will not say that. A single

00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:12.330
fucking time. I will say it differently every

00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:16.090
single time. Let's work it out slowly. No. This

00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:19.110
is where I'm standing. It's so hard because I

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.349
want to get pronunciations somewhat right without

00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:25.110
being that guy who goes into any sort of French

00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.729
restaurant or is a croissant. I want to not be

00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:31.789
that guy. I mean, don't you love croissant? I

00:02:31.789 --> 00:02:36.490
do love a good croissant. I don't want to be

00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:44.840
here for this. It's going to be fun. There's

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.759
a lot of worlds in this setting, and they're

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.120
so cool. They're not worlds that were traditionally

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.759
explored in fantasy medium. The only issue with

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.419
that is that there's a lot of pronunciations

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:56.539
that I am very not used to as just a country

00:02:56.539 --> 00:02:58.099
bumpkin from northern New Hampshire. You know

00:02:58.099 --> 00:02:59.919
what? We're exploring this together. We're having

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.800
fun. You did this. I did. I did pick this adventure.

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:04.280
Yeah, it was your making. But you know what?

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.319
It's because it's an awesome adventure, and everyone

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.439
should play it. You hear that, pants people?

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:10.909
Play Rainian Citadel. It's so good. It really

00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:13.129
is. I'm having fun. Hell yeah. It's a blast.

00:03:13.330 --> 00:03:15.050
It's a blast. And just so interesting. Every

00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:16.710
time you go to a new world, it's just something

00:03:16.710 --> 00:03:19.069
new and exciting. Not the usual old, hey, look,

00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:20.610
it's a little farm village in the middle of,

00:03:20.610 --> 00:03:23.849
you know, fuck -a -wall canyon. There's giants

00:03:23.849 --> 00:03:25.669
here. I don't know. There's goblins. I can pronounce

00:03:25.669 --> 00:03:28.069
that one. It's exciting. Fuck -a -wall canyon.

00:03:31.530 --> 00:03:34.800
Ah, boy. That one's fun to say. So this is really

00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.199
exciting for us. We started this episode off,

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.520
you may have noticed, with a little ad swap.

00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:43.520
That was the last episode we did that with, wasn't

00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:48.120
it? Yeah. I don't know what's going on. We had

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.439
some vacation stuff. So we are recording this

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.840
before. Steven takes his two -week vacation.

00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:55.060
We are going to put it out there. When he gets

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.419
back. Because by the time he gets back, there's

00:03:56.419 --> 00:03:58.479
no time for recording, editing, all that jazz.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.360
So we're in a pretty fun place. We're putting

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.280
this out. We're taking two weeks off. We're putting

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.620
out Babies and Broadsword. You already listened

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:07.560
to it. I'm sure you loved it. Thank you for loving

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.219
it so, so much. Yeah, Babies and Broadswords

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:11.599
was excellent. Oh, it's great. But yeah, so we're

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.979
talking from the distant past right now. Exactly.

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.100
This is tripping me out, man. We're trying to

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:20.339
get our timeline straight. But yes, the last

00:04:20.339 --> 00:04:23.779
episode before Babies and Broadswords. started

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:26.939
off with a little ad swap. Um, and we're kind

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:29.100
of excited three weeks ago, three weeks ago.

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.879
Yeah. But now that, uh, the timeline continue

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.860
has caught up. We're finally excited to start

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:39.639
talking about some of these ad swaps and, um,

00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:42.839
our new trailer that's enabling us to do them

00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.579
and the little community that we're building

00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:51.500
our new month old trailer. I suppose even today

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:53.920
as we record, it's, A couple weeks old now? Yeah,

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:56.779
it's a little bit. Yeah, I think so. I don't

00:04:56.779 --> 00:04:59.720
remember. As always, Jeremy, well done. Yeah.

00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:03.300
Oh, it's so good. I'm so rizzed up, excited.

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.279
I don't know. Partially because I had two and

00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.079
a half, almost three and a half energy drinks

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:08.980
today. I threw the last one away because my heart

00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:11.500
was not feeling it. Wait, you threw it away and

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:15.959
you didn't save it for tomorrow? It called to

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.879
me. It's dark fingers raised from the can beckoning

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.899
me forth to sip, sip, sip. So you sip, sip, sip

00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:25.879
tomorrow? No, no, no, no. My weak form would

00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.139
suckle upon the breasts of the drink today, and

00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:32.620
then it would die. I'm still on two and a half,

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.740
so that's where this is coming from. All right.

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.459
But anyway, it's so exciting to me because we—

00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.459
We got this new ad out. We're doing these ad

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:43.399
swaps. We're really getting there. And we started

00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.899
this little thing. We're moving close to a year

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:47.399
now. We have all these episodes behind us, a

00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.819
couple full arcs, moving into an arc that I am

00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:53.480
unbelievably excited about. And I mean, everyone

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.480
here listening to this right now, on the day

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.079
this comes out, you're on the ground floor. You're

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.439
coming at the start. But I truly feel like this

00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.000
is going to be big someday. This is going to

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.639
be the next big thing. Because... We're having

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.819
so much fun here. We started off having so much

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:11.339
fun here, and we're still, every time, we're

00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:13.560
so excited to get in here and just record and

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.920
play this game. But to listen back to it, I love

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.740
it so much. I love this story so much. I want

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.199
to share it with everybody. Yeah, so much has

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.420
happened in one year, and this is still only

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:27.720
the beginning. Yeah. Just the beginning. Just

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.699
the beginning, but I agree. I am very proud of

00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:32.439
what we're doing. Oh, absolutely. And I think

00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.600
if we just keep showing up, having fun, and improving.

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:38.699
you know, good things may happen. And we're making

00:06:38.699 --> 00:06:40.279
friends out there, friends with other podcasts,

00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:42.100
just like us, just starting out and getting out

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:44.259
there. And it's so cool. Like everybody, we're

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:45.819
all, we're all connected here. You know, we all

00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:47.779
want the same thing. We want to, we want to create

00:06:47.779 --> 00:06:50.160

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.779
stories. So man, you're an ad, check those guys

out there. They're, they're putting their darkness,

00:06:57.420 --> 00:06:59.639
putting the work in and they are loving every

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.220
second of it. I promise. Yeah. So, um, So speaking

hijinks? Join the chaos at Roll the Redemption.

hilarious encounters. As we battle the undead,

roll at a time. Whoa! Sorry. Was that us coming

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:33.779
back from the trailer? Yeah. We're back. Hey,

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:38.139
guys, we're back. Whoa. How you doing? I'm so

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:39.799
glad I didn't drink that third energy drink.

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:43.580
Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so I was listening to the

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:46.919
news, and I was hearing the federal government

00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.960
is going after those YouTubers, Logan Paul and

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.360
KSI, over their energy drink because it has too

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.679
much caffeine in it, and they're marketing it

00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.289
to kids. Oh, my gosh. It has more caffeine than

00:09:00.289 --> 00:09:04.990
Red Bull, more caffeine than whatever, but it

00:09:04.990 --> 00:09:07.669
has less caffeine than Rockstar. Wait, okay,

00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:08.909
how many milligrams are we talking about? What

00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:11.169
are you trying to say? I'm trying to say that

00:09:11.169 --> 00:09:15.370
the federal government is suing somebody for

00:09:15.370 --> 00:09:19.250
making a drink with less caffeine. Investigating,

00:09:19.250 --> 00:09:22.090
not suing. I mean, what's the milligrams here?

00:09:22.269 --> 00:09:24.669
I don't know. I can look it up. Some real science

00:09:24.669 --> 00:09:27.850
-y bullshit. Drink taste good, drink feel good.

00:09:28.009 --> 00:09:30.950
It's all I care about. So instead of being that

00:09:30.950 --> 00:09:33.169
guy who dives into Google and is like, oh, I'm

00:09:33.169 --> 00:09:34.649
going to look it up. I'm going to look up Chow

00:09:34.649 --> 00:09:37.549
Chibity instead. I'll say this. I'll say this.

00:09:38.429 --> 00:09:41.210
Why don't you get your caffeine fix? You watch

00:09:41.210 --> 00:09:46.950
yourself. From a small craft made to order D

00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:50.549
&D themed coffee company called Homebrew Coffee

00:09:50.549 --> 00:09:54.549
Co. Like we're drinking right now. Cheers. Sands,

00:09:54.590 --> 00:09:58.519
David. What up? What a smooth transition. Yeah,

00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.899
it was. It absolutely was. Is it as smooth as

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:03.000
that coffee? We're enjoying their Dragon Slayer,

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:08.840
a tart medium roast, and it is delicious. You're

00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.100
missing out, David. I'm not. And it is tart.

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.220
It doesn't finish like sharp and bitter. Right,

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:17.179
right. It's more like the tartness on the center

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:18.559
of the back of your tongue. You know what? You

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.059
know what? Hand me one of those coffees. I'll

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:23.340
show you how this is done. If he spits it out,

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.940
he's going to spit it on his own computer. Oh,

00:10:25.019 --> 00:10:27.980
that's true. All right. Let me preface by saying

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:31.200
this. I am anosmic. I have no sense of smell.

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:34.179
And so my tastes are a little fucked up. You

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:35.980
are going to dislike it. I'm going to hate it.

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.779
And I want you all to hear this. Hear my vehemence.

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:44.679
It's all real. Holy fuck. Oh, my God. I forgot.

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:51.860
Oh. Fucking. Make some noise for me. I gotta

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:54.639
go get a drink. I did not expect it to be that

00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.700
intense. So those with adult tastes can visit

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:03.740
our friends at Homebrew Coffee Co. Oh my god.

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:11.120
How can something be that horrible? David, you

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:17.679
are an enigma. We should bring him whiskey next.

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.539
See how he does with that. I want to go home

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:26.000
now, too. All right, we're done. Let's unplug

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.100
everything. Holy shit. All right, what do you

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.600
think? Should we get down to things? Yeah, I'm

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.620
done torturing you. There is an amazing amount

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:35.700
of shit to get to. I will say that. Yeah, it's

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:40.279
your turn to torture us, I think. So, I think

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.740
it's about time we check back in on Zeb and Jules.

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:48.320
The one Zebulon fan out there just cheered. Fuck

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.679
you. I think there's like three or four. Okay.

00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:58.639
So check yourself, man. Wow. Oh, boy. This is

00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.879
going to be a weird arc, as you've probably already

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.539
figured out, anyone playing here, anyone listening,

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:06.759
because we have two different parties moving.

00:12:07.289 --> 00:12:08.889
Right now, currently at different time frames.

00:12:09.110 --> 00:12:11.789
So I'm going to back things up. We ended off

00:12:11.789 --> 00:12:14.750
last time about 5 o 'clock in the morning as

00:12:14.750 --> 00:12:19.049
Dresden and Crispin were entering the Fire Opal

00:12:19.049 --> 00:12:23.230
Concord Jewel on their way to the port town that

00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:27.570
Zebulon and Jules recently had left, which is

00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:28.990
actually called Montanares. I don't think I ever

00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:30.690
said the name of the town, but Montanares is

00:12:30.690 --> 00:12:34.529
the name of the port town. But that was 5 o 'clock.

00:12:34.529 --> 00:12:36.879
That was the morning. We're going to turn back

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.980
time because when we left off of Zebulon and

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:42.179
Jules, it was closer to 11 o 'clock p .m. the

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:45.139
night before. The night of day zero, as I'm calling

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:47.799
it. As we're moving up towards midnight, the

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.539
clock will tick on day one of this adventure.

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:54.120
Zebulon and Jules have just been infected by

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.720
a dangerous illness slash curse, Serenno. We

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.649
know this now. And now I'm going to put forth

00:13:01.649 --> 00:13:04.250
some meta information because I think that in

00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:06.350
some cases, having some meta information can

00:13:06.350 --> 00:13:07.970
help inform the characters and make the story

00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:10.610
more exciting. We are dealing with a series of

00:13:10.610 --> 00:13:14.029
clocks in this arc. It's mostly going to be open

00:13:14.029 --> 00:13:15.909
to you guys to determine how you want to handle

00:13:15.909 --> 00:13:17.950
things, how you want to go about wherever you

00:13:17.950 --> 00:13:19.990
go. You at this point have two parties that are

00:13:19.990 --> 00:13:22.090
unaware of each other and what each other are

00:13:22.090 --> 00:13:25.309
doing right now. One of these clocks is a more

00:13:25.309 --> 00:13:28.169
natural one born in mechanics. It is Serenno.

00:13:28.590 --> 00:13:32.129
it is going to kill you. Slowly but surely, it

00:13:32.129 --> 00:13:34.110
is going to kill you if you do not find a way

00:13:34.110 --> 00:13:37.350
around it. But there are other ones as well.

00:13:37.789 --> 00:13:40.149
If you take too long to reach certain objectives,

00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:43.750
if you play it too safe, things might happen.

00:13:44.529 --> 00:13:47.070
But you're playing a dangerous game now because

00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:49.789
if you play too reckless, well, you know me.

00:13:50.649 --> 00:13:55.370
So, with that being said, you are in the desert.

00:13:56.190 --> 00:14:00.590
Jules, You've just seen the poster showing Miskin.

00:14:01.149 --> 00:14:06.149
The words, wanted dead. Make it very clear. He

00:14:06.149 --> 00:14:08.889
is in terrible, terrible danger. Jean Franklin

00:14:08.889 --> 00:14:10.389
mentions, as you're reading this, and you barely

00:14:10.389 --> 00:14:13.870
hear it, that this was posted for four days ago.

00:14:14.289 --> 00:14:17.029
There must be a number of hunters already here.

00:14:17.309 --> 00:14:21.049
These illegal bounty hunters who, drawn by this

00:14:21.049 --> 00:14:25.610
offer of 600 gold. At this point, Jules and Debulon

00:14:25.610 --> 00:14:28.230
do not know who posted this. That information

00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:31.610
is not on the poster at all. It just says the

00:14:31.610 --> 00:14:35.389
name, description, and the act that they want.

00:14:35.710 --> 00:14:38.029
So I have a question. How dare you? Yeah, what?

00:14:38.149 --> 00:14:41.409
Let's say you're an illegal bounty hunter. Yeah.

00:14:41.629 --> 00:14:44.429
You show up here. How do you know that? You kill

00:14:44.429 --> 00:14:47.769
Miskin. Then what do you do? You stand there

00:14:47.769 --> 00:14:49.909
in the town circle and raise your hand real high?

00:14:49.970 --> 00:14:52.809
And say, hey. Hey, I did it. Hey, look at me.

00:14:52.809 --> 00:14:55.450
I did it. That's a fair point. There's got to

00:14:55.450 --> 00:14:58.990
be someone to report to, correct? Correct. You'd

00:14:58.990 --> 00:15:01.250
think so. I mean, you don't know. Zebulon doesn't

00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:04.490
know. So who's finding this poster and is answering

00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:07.509
this call without any information? Is it bait?

00:15:07.809 --> 00:15:10.409
There is one thing to consider. Say you're an

00:15:10.409 --> 00:15:12.870
illegal bounty hunter. You'd likely be privy

00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:15.450
to more information than any commenter about.

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:18.360
Those who would handle bounties, those who would

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.059
handle rewards, those who would handle the giving

00:15:21.059 --> 00:15:24.480
of information, it is an illegal activity. And

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.179
so you're not going to see a poster and you're

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:28.179
not going to see, oh, man, this is from this

00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:30.240
guy. You do this to get it. These are all the

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.200
agents involved because, hey, people high up

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.120
are going to shut you down. They're going to

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.340
follow up on all the information. You're in the

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:39.519
know. If you're a bounty hunter, you're in the

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.799
know. These two bounty hunters you were with

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.840
were probably in the know. They're corpses now.

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.379
Zebulon and Jules. You're not in the know. But

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:50.279
nobody saw anybody posting the posters anywhere?

00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.019
These posters are likely something that... All

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:55.120
you know, when you got to town, these two shady

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.019
gentlemen moved away somewhere to somebody, you

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:01.419
imagine, in Manzanares, and came out with this.

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.659
There could be a contact there. Sure, yeah. That

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:06.399
makes sense. It's all underground information.

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.399
But I will say, I think you could imagine, at

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.080
least, that... There's likely this sort of same

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.220
sort of underground information to be found in

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:17.440
Sansation City as it is the center hub of everything

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.919
illegal and legal that happens on Sansation.

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:23.460
This is a pretty known world. This is a big world.

00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:25.600
It's not quite the size of Tythos or what Tythos

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.080
was, but it is one of the most populous and industrious

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.259
and just generally like prominent worlds in the

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:36.419
Concord. I apologize for and retract my outburst.

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.500
What? What happened? Yeah. No, it makes sense.

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:42.720
Oh, okay. That's not a character. I'm surprised.

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:46.860
What? You're being nice? I've never seen this

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:51.360
behavior before. So what do you do? You know

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.860
you're about an hour away from the city itself.

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.299
An hour and a half away from the port. You could

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:59.240
turn back. If you go back to the Citadel, you

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.200
turn tail and go to Sholay. Or perhaps to your

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.440
family, Jules. Maybe powerful magics could help

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.960
save you. But you've got a picture of a child

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.960
in your hands. And time is ticking. Jules is

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.000
staring down at the picture, clenching his fist

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.240
with it in there, crumpling it. Very, very angry.

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:28.759
We need to find Mishkin. Mishkin? Zebulon stands

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:32.299
up and looks over Jules' shoulder. Not over his

00:17:32.299 --> 00:17:35.019
shoulder. He's tall enough to look over his shoulder.

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:42.160
Peeks between his legs. Wow, so those guys, they

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.200
were here for Miskin? Looks like it. The 600

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.759
gold they were talking about? Absolute monsters.

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:54.339
How does Zebulon, like, feel? Like, physically?

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.140
Yeah, like, if you're sick with a cold, you feel

00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:00.099
a little whatever. If you're sick with the flu,

00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:03.619
really sucks. What does it feel like to have

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:06.700
Serenno? Right now, what it feels like, there

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:10.230
is a deep chill. deep in your bones it feels

00:18:10.230 --> 00:18:13.109
like all the heat is slowly being siphoned from

00:18:13.109 --> 00:18:15.890
your body you in your current form you don't

00:18:15.890 --> 00:18:17.549
have anything like really warm to put over yourself

00:18:17.549 --> 00:18:20.150
and i think you want that uh it's like standing

00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:22.589
outside in a winter day in a t -shirt and just

00:18:22.589 --> 00:18:24.609
that cold has seeped into your bones it started

00:18:24.609 --> 00:18:27.569
off in your bones like cold from the inside out

00:18:27.569 --> 00:18:32.490
on top of that you are exhausted and this poison

00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:34.609
condition currently right now you do feel like

00:18:34.609 --> 00:18:38.259
you have a full flu um your vision hazy Eyes

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:41.519
sort of watery, brow kind of sweating despite

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:46.039
the freezing cold within you. It's bad. You know

00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:49.940
it's bad. How are we going to find Mishkin? Like

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:53.460
this? There is one detail of Sarah I do know.

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.180
During the days, the effects of it tend to lessen,

00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:02.700
or almost wear off. But they compound at night.

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.779
It gets worse and worse. So, I mean... We've

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:11.000
got some daylight coming our way. We should...

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.920
Gotta make some progress. If Miskin knows I'm

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:20.740
here, he'll find us. Well, I mean, it makes sense

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:24.380
that we can go start in the city. It's where

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:28.900
we gotta go. Yeah, let's go. Yeah. And you press

00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:32.359
on. There is one other issue to consider, too.

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:37.200
Now, because of Serino... Exhaustion is going

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.200
to be a big deal in this arc. You know, obviously.

00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:41.500
You already have two stacks of it. That's negative

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:46.140
to all D20 rolls, essentially. And guess what?

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:51.900
Death saves are also D20 roll. Scary shit. This

00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:56.240
apparently compounds. On top of that, you have

00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.039
been active, actively traveling, engaged in a

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.660
dire and serious fight, doing a lot of, like,

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.329
mountaineering, climbing, just traveling. Ever

00:20:05.329 --> 00:20:10.410
since waking up this morning at the Crystallion

00:20:10.410 --> 00:20:15.369
in Auroral Town, that was this same day. You

00:20:15.369 --> 00:20:17.230
were almost hitting midnight on this long day,

00:20:17.410 --> 00:20:19.950
and you will need to find somewhere to sleep

00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:23.289
soon, or you're going to be making rolls, potentially

00:20:23.289 --> 00:20:25.450
accruing another level of exhaustion. And don't

00:20:25.450 --> 00:20:27.970
forget, if you hit 10 levels of this, that's

00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:30.650
permanent death. So, something else to consider.

00:20:30.710 --> 00:20:33.069
As you move, there will become a time where I'm

00:20:33.069 --> 00:20:35.299
going to ask you to make those rolls. The only

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:37.819
way to get exhaustion levels removed is taking

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:41.180
a long rest to remove one. So we definitely head

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:44.220
to the city, find a place to sleep. Hopefully

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:47.779
gather some information before. Let's see what

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:50.079
comes of it, huh? Yeah. Jules isn't going to

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.099
like to sleep. He's better than dying. Yeah,

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.099
I think he's at least smart enough to know he

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:59.019
still needs to. Right. Take us to San Sichuan

00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:05.359
City. John Franklin sort of leading the way,

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.400
keeping an eye on you, like, looking back at

00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.900
you kind of nervously, keeping an eye on the

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:12.359
front, eyes in the sky. The only one just, like,

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:15.380
fully functional, basically, just watching, watching

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:19.880
for the return of that thing. And as you move,

00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:24.160
you sort of move over, like, we start rising

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.980
up a little bit, sort of almost like a long,

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:30.109
drawn -out hill. that as you hit the top of and

00:21:30.109 --> 00:21:33.170
peak down, it starts to lower around you like

00:21:33.170 --> 00:21:39.069
a canyon, slowly falling towards this great expanse,

00:21:39.089 --> 00:21:41.349
the city. You can see under the moon's light,

00:21:41.549 --> 00:21:45.450
these great stone walls roughly forming a triangle.

00:21:45.849 --> 00:21:48.549
You see flickering lights line the streets of

00:21:48.549 --> 00:21:51.230
most of the city. The area near the main gate

00:21:51.230 --> 00:21:53.910
that you can see facing you now seems especially

00:21:53.910 --> 00:21:56.890
bright, where the area farthest away is dead

00:21:56.890 --> 00:21:59.569
dark. From the southern edge of this shape, you

00:21:59.569 --> 00:22:01.549
can vaguely make out thick, dark stacks of smoke

00:22:01.549 --> 00:22:04.710
drifting into the moonlight. In the center of

00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:07.190
these walls, a high hill seems to rise up over

00:22:07.190 --> 00:22:11.430
all else. Top of the few large structures is

00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:15.150
your first look at Sandstown City. And you move

00:22:15.150 --> 00:22:17.569
towards the main gate? Yep, head towards the

00:22:17.569 --> 00:22:20.569
main gate. As you get close to the main gates,

00:22:20.650 --> 00:22:25.029
you begin to hear... Music flooding out from

00:22:25.029 --> 00:22:27.430
the city. And let me remind you, it is now about

00:22:27.430 --> 00:22:29.549
midnight. Maybe a little after as you're moving

00:22:29.549 --> 00:22:32.630
close to this. You see there's still lights all

00:22:32.630 --> 00:22:34.009
over the place. You see people moving around

00:22:34.009 --> 00:22:37.769
excitedly. There's a buzz of energy here despite

00:22:37.769 --> 00:22:39.990
the late hour that even the Radiant Citadel does

00:22:39.990 --> 00:22:44.210
not have this. You move forward. There's a few

00:22:44.210 --> 00:22:46.670
guards outside the gate that honestly just very

00:22:46.670 --> 00:22:50.430
cheerily wave you in. You join the party. I mean,

00:22:50.450 --> 00:22:53.289
it's a blast over here. You see, despite this

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:54.869
late hour, just this buzz of excitement filling

00:22:54.869 --> 00:22:57.450
the air, mingling with the haze that's falling

00:22:57.450 --> 00:22:59.450
away from the great smokestacks that pool into

00:22:59.450 --> 00:23:02.589
the sky from the works to the south. Here, as

00:23:02.589 --> 00:23:04.349
you push in through this gate, you see a number

00:23:04.349 --> 00:23:06.529
of locals and tourists munching on street snacks

00:23:06.529 --> 00:23:08.730
and pointing towards great mountain images of

00:23:08.730 --> 00:23:11.930
the mighty pig man advertising hog fight. Slogans

00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:15.450
decorate these images like, oh my god, he'll

00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:18.640
make them squeal. Or, who will enter the feeding

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.660
trough? Trough? Trow? Is that? Trough. Yeah,

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:27.000
okay, cool. Got it right. The air smells heavily

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.140
of spices here. You can see a number of stands

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:31.839
are just still open offering food to those who

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.319
have made the journey from Manzanares. In this

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.420
case, it's actually only you that are traveling

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:37.900
during this late hour. But a lot of folk are

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:42.059
still up and at them. You see crunchy tacos,

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.559
piles of fried corn chips, stews like hominy

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.140
of meat pozole. Which is like corn and meat pozole,

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.319
but better. It's a callback. It's a callback

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:59.759
joke. It's a sign says. Fast and upbeat music

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:02.220
drifts for a group of performers set in a small

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:04.920
stage along the road's edge. A number of passerbys

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.509
have stopped to dance before them. Drunken figures

00:24:07.509 --> 00:24:10.690
stumble or are tossed from large gates of these

00:24:10.690 --> 00:24:13.390
structures. You can hear these combined cheers

00:24:13.390 --> 00:24:17.190
and groans coming from these very light doors

00:24:17.190 --> 00:24:19.670
that reveal these to be the fabled San Sitian

00:24:19.670 --> 00:24:22.289
Casino, as you'd think. People just stumbling

00:24:22.289 --> 00:24:25.089
out very sadly, not a penny to the name left.

00:24:25.869 --> 00:24:28.289
But amongst all this cheer, the people dancing

00:24:28.289 --> 00:24:33.589
and laughing, there's something wrong. Something

00:24:33.589 --> 00:24:37.230
that I think... Jules in particular is more privy

00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:40.410
to, more sensitive to. Just like a feeling that

00:24:40.410 --> 00:24:43.950
immediately strikes you, Jules. It's so idyllic

00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:46.910
here. So perfect here at this gate, here in this

00:24:46.910 --> 00:24:50.130
part of the city. A part where you're seeing

00:24:50.130 --> 00:24:52.769
is relatively small compared to the whole. This

00:24:52.769 --> 00:24:54.190
is where the tourists from other worlds will

00:24:54.190 --> 00:24:57.329
see. This is all they might see. And it reminds

00:24:57.329 --> 00:25:01.329
you of Cerule, of the high city, of how when

00:25:01.329 --> 00:25:06.130
you entered the... The diamond, the sapphire.

00:25:06.289 --> 00:25:09.190
When you came and docked in the Plaza of the

00:25:09.190 --> 00:25:11.670
Traveler and you looked out, all you saw was

00:25:11.670 --> 00:25:15.809
these great towers, immaculate, and this bustling

00:25:15.809 --> 00:25:18.630
crowd of well -to -do folk. You'd never know

00:25:18.630 --> 00:25:21.869
what lay beyond those towers. You'd never know.

00:25:22.130 --> 00:25:23.970
It's interesting you brought that up because

00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:26.029
as you were describing the scene that we saw,

00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:29.930
when we first saw Sansation City, I was thinking

00:25:29.930 --> 00:25:33.950
that Jules was looking at the... He was looking

00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:38.210
past to where everything gets dark and not at

00:25:38.210 --> 00:25:42.750
the front light spectacle. Hell yeah. I think

00:25:42.750 --> 00:25:46.369
I might know what we need to do. Oh. Should we

00:25:46.369 --> 00:25:49.569
play it out? I'm very curious here. Yeah, play

00:25:49.569 --> 00:25:53.250
it out. Okay. So Zeb's looking around at all

00:25:53.250 --> 00:25:57.150
this. I'd like to think that Zebulon has made

00:25:57.150 --> 00:26:01.419
sort of the same conclusion that Jules had. Because

00:26:01.419 --> 00:26:04.319
Zebulon has something in mind. Zebulon wants

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:09.279
to find more bounty hunters. And he knows that

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:12.839
he's not going to find them here. John, this

00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.220
whole party thing, all this area, it seems...

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:19.900
It's amazing, isn't it? It's incredible. It seems...

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:21.859
Truly the remarkable city I thought it would

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:24.380
be. And so clean, too. Wonderful. Really safe.

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:25.839
I can't wait to stay here. Don't get too attached.

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:28.720
And right up your alley, I think... We're going

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.809
to have a good time here. Jules, I think you

00:26:31.809 --> 00:26:35.950
and I should go further into the city. And John,

00:26:36.150 --> 00:26:40.609
maybe you can stay around here and try to see

00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:43.670
what you can come up with. We can cover more

00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:48.009
ground that way. Wait, I'm confused. You mean

00:26:48.009 --> 00:26:50.450
deep into Fiestatown, this sort of district where

00:26:50.450 --> 00:26:54.410
the tourists go and play and have fun? No. How

00:26:54.410 --> 00:26:56.450
much do you know about San Santillan City? We

00:26:56.450 --> 00:27:00.079
want to go where the real people are. To answer

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:05.279
your question, nothing? You're speaking of Los

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:10.039
Gavilanes? The old city? Beyond all this? It's

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.759
dangerous there, they say. Yeah. I mean, I think

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.000
that's where we're going to find out some more

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.359
about, you know, the paper. All right. Well,

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:21.819
keep north and east. You'll find your way there

00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:25.339
eventually, but maybe it's best I don't go. I

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:28.160
might attract some of the wrong sort of attention

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.960
there. But I can find us a room here. It's much

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.640
more comfortable. I'll find us all a place to

00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.420
stay. My treat. You shouldn't be walking around

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:39.420
so much. We're just going to get a lay of the

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:43.000
land, and we'll be back soon. Because I don't

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.359
know how much more of this walking I can do.

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:48.619
So here's a tricky thing. It's after midnight

00:27:48.619 --> 00:27:51.279
at this point. Yeah. If we need to rest for eight

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.680
hours, our good eight hours is coming up during

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.619
the day. If you were to rest now, you're up at

00:27:58.619 --> 00:28:02.200
8 .30, and you are slowly encroaching on more

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.460
and more of that time that you're going to miss.

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.359
It's hard. If you come to blows, come to combat,

00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:11.119
you're in a bad place. I feel like we still need

00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:16.460
to rest before we go in. We're going to be adding

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:19.059
points of exhaustion. We're not recovered from

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:22.740
the last fight. Like I said, Jules doesn't want

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:28.339
to. That makes sense. And maybe even the scarier

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:30.200
part of the city will be safer during the day.

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.519
Jean, if it's on you, I'm not going to deny it.

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:44.619
Jean, if it's on you, I ain't saying no. Very

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:47.779
well. This is good. And whether I can get some

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:50.119
sort of doctor, some sort of physician to come

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.440
to see you. We can do something about this. We

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.150
should try to treat you while you rest. Yeah,

00:28:55.170 --> 00:28:58.410
yeah, I guess it does make sense to get some

00:28:58.410 --> 00:29:03.829
sleep before we go deeper. Good, good. As you're

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:05.410
moving in to find a place to sleep, I want to

00:29:05.410 --> 00:29:08.589
direct both you guys to Roll20. Jean Franklin's

00:29:08.589 --> 00:29:09.690
going to start giving you the lay of the land

00:29:09.690 --> 00:29:12.710
about what this city really looks like, and I'm

00:29:12.710 --> 00:29:14.490
going to, you know, I have a map I made, I want

00:29:14.490 --> 00:29:17.089
to show this to you guys. I'll try to describe

00:29:17.089 --> 00:29:19.210
it for everybody else as well, but you're looking

00:29:19.210 --> 00:29:22.390
at a roughly triangular city. What do they call

00:29:22.390 --> 00:29:24.740
a perfect triangle? What's that one? There's

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:25.980
a lot of different kinds of triangles. It's a

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:28.099
Triforce -style triangle. Yeah, you can't bring

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:30.700
me back to, like, sixth grade. That also doesn't

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:33.460
look like a perfect triangle. Roughly a triangle,

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:37.240
damn it. Dude, like, it's a really basic concept

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.759
and easy word that's on the tip of my brain.

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:47.019
Equilateral. Boom. I got it, Ryder. Yeah, it's

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.099
a boom triangle. You guys have just entered the

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:52.460
Jewel Gate. as he kind of described it as you're

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:55.440
going in, moving deeper into the tourist district

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.119
of San Sitian City. Roughly a third of the city

00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.400
is Fiestatown, which is just loaded with inns,

00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:05.799
casinos, places to eat, places to party, music

00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.039
on every street corner. There's a number of stadiums

00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:12.480
for these huge Lucha Libre matches. This is the

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.140
place people go because tourism is a huge part

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:18.759
of the economy here in San Sitian City. But it's

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.009
not the main part. Down to the south of this,

00:30:22.089 --> 00:30:25.349
south of both districts, we see these great sort

00:30:25.349 --> 00:30:30.509
of facilities, these ironworks factories, basically

00:30:30.509 --> 00:30:34.490
just like smiths and refineries. There's a gate

00:30:34.490 --> 00:30:36.950
to the south, too, that leads to these mines

00:30:36.950 --> 00:30:40.450
loaded with ores, constantly being worked at,

00:30:40.509 --> 00:30:43.150
that are always flowing into the ironworks, being

00:30:43.150 --> 00:30:46.410
taken care of, processed, and then sent out of

00:30:46.410 --> 00:30:50.180
world to... every other world. It is the main

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:52.420
reason San Sitian City and the whole world of

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:54.480
San Sitian is really on the map, as big as it

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.920
is, is the ironworks. I think Jean Valéry doesn't

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.680
know a lot about the history of them or what

00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.940
they represent or anything about that. You'll

00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:03.579
have to figure that out as you go. But that's

00:31:03.579 --> 00:31:06.660
another roughly third of the city is this huge

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:10.440
district. Generally pretty well guarded and well

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:15.400
patrolled. Then you have the old city. Los Esquivadanes.

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:20.900
You see this is basically these used to be these

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:23.319
sort of larger estates that belong to the old

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.299
nobility and like, you know, rough streets kind

00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:28.420
of in between them. That was the city's original

00:31:28.420 --> 00:31:32.319
form. Now those streets and homes are, well,

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:34.339
I'm trying to think of the right word. They're

00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:38.240
in a state of constant disrepair. They are chaotic.

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:44.160
Dilapidated. Yes, perfect. Got it. And this isn't

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.720
wholly known. And I think even John Franklin

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:49.000
doesn't know much about the old city, but we'll

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.779
just say that there's also a number of estates

00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:53.759
there as well, once belonged to nobles, now overtaken

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.420
by various groups and gangs, and just filled

00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:00.740
with, well, with the low folk. The folk that

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:03.799
you grew up with, Jules, in the latter half of

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:07.259
your youth. Folks like the Cherry Delights. It's

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:09.700
a sad story that you've heard time and time again.

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:12.140
It's just another flavor of that same oppression

00:32:12.140 --> 00:32:15.339
that you felt on Tythos. There, the flavor was

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:21.160
miners and stone workers. Here, I guess you don't

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.900
really know. But you could guess, as you look

00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:26.460
to the great stacks of smoke coming from the

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:29.599
south. You could guess. In the middle of all

00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.839
of this is, and I'm going to try this again,

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:36.269
Papalotlon Hill. Papalotlon Hill. Let's do that.

00:32:36.349 --> 00:32:39.970
Papalotlan Hill. It is this great hill that oversees

00:32:39.970 --> 00:32:42.250
everything, never really leaving your sight,

00:32:42.369 --> 00:32:46.210
and a number of pristine, huge manors resting

00:32:46.210 --> 00:32:49.049
atop it, overlooking everyone. This is the seat

00:32:49.049 --> 00:32:51.549
of government here, the seat of the Tresena,

00:32:51.650 --> 00:32:55.069
who rule over the city and essentially the world,

00:32:55.150 --> 00:32:59.630
and just a number of all the real big -name people.

00:32:59.750 --> 00:33:03.829
This is where the money is. It's funny because

00:33:03.829 --> 00:33:06.190
it's so small. I mean, every one of the other

00:33:06.190 --> 00:33:08.029
districts is roughly a third of the city with

00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:11.609
just maybe a 10 % or less of like the full bulk

00:33:11.609 --> 00:33:15.089
of the city all gathered here. And yet it represents

00:33:15.089 --> 00:33:18.430
everything. You look at the top of that hill

00:33:18.430 --> 00:33:22.130
at those structures bathed in moonlight and the

00:33:22.130 --> 00:33:24.569
vague darkness of night. And it probably reminds

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:27.490
you of leaving Tythos and looking up, up at the

00:33:27.490 --> 00:33:31.200
Tower of Authority, up and knowing. And that

00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.779
way you know that your mother was looking down.

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:38.440
Sean Franklin leads to a nice little inn slash

00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.880
pub. A little tavern -y sort of space called

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:47.819
the... Hang on. Hang on. The Limp Cactus. The

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:52.099
Limp Cactus? Today, in the most random things

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:56.440
I've ever heard. Not the Crisp Cactus? That's

00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:00.750
so much better. I said that, and now it's like,

00:34:00.789 --> 00:34:03.309
what's the lore behind why this is a sad -sounding

00:34:03.309 --> 00:34:06.690
place in a really happy... In a place that Jaune

00:34:06.690 --> 00:34:10.269
would stoop to go to. Why would Jaune go to the

00:34:10.269 --> 00:34:12.369
Limp Cactus? He goes there, and he looks at the

00:34:12.369 --> 00:34:14.469
sign, and he says, No, no, that's not it. Nah,

00:34:14.530 --> 00:34:22.909
this is dumb. It leads you down the road. And

00:34:22.909 --> 00:34:26.489
you see this sad -looking blue neon cactus with

00:34:26.489 --> 00:34:29.070
a sad face, just almost like the sign is watching

00:34:29.070 --> 00:34:35.170
you go. As you move away. I'm on so many energy

00:34:35.170 --> 00:34:39.769
drinks. Give me a name for an inn. The Inn. That

00:34:39.769 --> 00:34:43.349
sucks. It's worse than the Limp Cactus. Maybe.

00:34:44.489 --> 00:34:51.809
No, it's not. Sandy Hill Inn. That was an elementary

00:34:51.809 --> 00:34:56.250
school in my hometown. I kind of like it. I like

00:34:56.250 --> 00:35:02.170
it. You ass. It's funny, too, because you look

00:35:02.170 --> 00:35:03.690
at these streets, and again, you're in the middle

00:35:03.690 --> 00:35:05.010
of this desert, and I didn't really mention,

00:35:05.170 --> 00:35:07.510
it's probably hard to even see, but like... Most

00:35:07.510 --> 00:35:10.090
of the greenery here is also focused centrally

00:35:10.090 --> 00:35:13.570
towards Papalotlan Hill. Spreading out from there

00:35:13.570 --> 00:35:15.409
is a lot of just, like, still that same sort

00:35:15.409 --> 00:35:18.250
of desert terrain. Kind of rough. And I think

00:35:18.250 --> 00:35:19.630
you do see, like, maybe, like, there's a mound

00:35:19.630 --> 00:35:21.969
building up towards this kind of nice -looking,

00:35:21.969 --> 00:35:24.969
very tall, spire -like building, which just says

00:35:24.969 --> 00:35:29.889
Sandy Hill. Oh, yes, this looks nice. Well, I

00:35:29.889 --> 00:35:32.869
suppose I could foot the bill this time. Let's

00:35:32.869 --> 00:35:35.670
get you guys comfortable. That's really generous.

00:35:35.929 --> 00:35:42.099
I want the sweet. With a jacuzzi. I don't think

00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:44.400
they have jacuzzis. Do they have fantasy jacuzzis?

00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:50.260
Probably at the pale moonlight. I think you actually

00:35:50.260 --> 00:35:54.679
see Jean -Franc kind of like smiles and I want

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:56.820
you guys to roll an insight check. Or perception,

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:59.340
both will work. Goodness. Because he sort of

00:35:59.340 --> 00:36:02.659
turns away from you after that. And David, so

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:05.320
our exhaustion, we don't have a way to put that

00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.500
on D &D Beyond. So we're just going to have to

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:11.159
remember it? Yes. Honestly, that's better because

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.800
I've got to compound it each night. It's going

00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:16.420
to go away to a degree. Okay, what are we rolling?

00:36:16.579 --> 00:36:20.340
What or what? Insight or perception. With a minus

00:36:20.340 --> 00:36:24.840
two. God damn it, that's right. So eight for

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.840
Zebulon. Okay. That is a nine for Jules. Okay.

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:35.429
I have a plus two, so it evens out. Yeah, so

00:36:35.429 --> 00:36:37.550
pretty bad. All you see is Jean -Ferland kind

00:36:37.550 --> 00:36:39.429
of turns away from you for a second. You don't

00:36:39.429 --> 00:36:42.949
see his face. You don't see what he does. He

00:36:42.949 --> 00:36:44.369
just kind of turns back to you with a sort of

00:36:44.369 --> 00:36:48.230
total smile. All right, then. Let's step inside.

00:36:49.670 --> 00:36:52.050
You know what? Because the listeners didn't roll

00:36:52.050 --> 00:36:54.469
a bad perception check or insight check, I want

00:36:54.469 --> 00:36:57.250
to tell them what you guys didn't see. And it's

00:36:57.250 --> 00:36:59.610
fun. What you guys didn't see was Jean -Ferland

00:36:59.610 --> 00:37:02.829
turning away from you, pulling his... Very, very

00:37:02.829 --> 00:37:06.789
small -looking wallet out of his office belt

00:37:06.789 --> 00:37:08.630
and kind of opening it and just looking down

00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:12.010
at it with some sort of somber disgust. Oh, no.

00:37:12.190 --> 00:37:14.329
And then just kind of sighing a little bit, eyes

00:37:14.329 --> 00:37:16.590
closed. Oh, shit. And then placing the smile

00:37:16.590 --> 00:37:19.110
back on his face, he turns around like, yes,

00:37:19.170 --> 00:37:21.650
yes, of course. Let's go inside. Now we can't

00:37:21.650 --> 00:37:23.889
even offer to pay. Uh -oh. Now we can't even

00:37:23.889 --> 00:37:26.769
offer to pay. So I just bear to tell you so you

00:37:26.769 --> 00:37:29.289
know what you don't know. Well, now Jules is

00:37:29.289 --> 00:37:32.619
just an asshole. We don't know. We don't know.

00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:36.500
You have no idea. I want to try something real

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:42.420
fast. All right. Okay. Papalotl. Papalotl? Papalotl?

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:46.679
No, it's an N. Papalotl? I can say Papalotl.

00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:49.239
I think that actually makes more sense. I don't

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:51.559
care. It's probably a silent L. It didn't work

00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:53.599
as well as I thought. I would rather be a silent

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.639
L. It's a silent L now. Papalotl? Fuck, that

00:37:56.639 --> 00:38:02.539
sounds good. I can't do it. That's how it's spelled.

00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.539
Papalotian. He's going in the inn. Here, okay,

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:07.840
I'll just say, I'll just do this. Papalotian.

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:10.179
And now every time you say it, I'll just put...

00:38:10.179 --> 00:38:19.320
I'll just put my voice in. So here you stand

00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:24.000
beneath the tall hill around you. You see, just

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.400
ahead, you see... Papalotian. There's a second

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.880
for you to add that. I'm going to do it at least

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:35.010
once now. I wanted to set you up. God. Okay,

00:38:35.090 --> 00:38:38.130
so I take it you move inside the inn? Yes, following

00:38:38.130 --> 00:38:41.610
Jaune to our free room. I think Jaune kind of

00:38:41.610 --> 00:38:44.570
powers ahead of you, just like very, almost too

00:38:44.570 --> 00:38:47.050
excited, just opens the door, and you guys start

00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:49.909
to move in. And I will say, actually, as this

00:38:49.909 --> 00:38:53.639
is happening, you do hear... A slight commotion

00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:56.059
from sort of the right of where you stand towards

00:38:56.059 --> 00:38:59.159
where the edge of this building, where it kind

00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.139
of turns a corner into like an alley that must

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:04.280
move into maybe another door behind it. You just

00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.239
hear a voice like, hey, watch out! As someone

00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:09.119
kind of almost stumbles out of the alley and

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.579
almost like runs into them. Sorry, sorry, sorry

00:39:13.579 --> 00:39:18.139
about that. You see a figure that... looks towards

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:19.900
you in kind of like this commotion, this sort

00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:21.480
of figure that's moving away from this building,

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:25.239
out of this alley, and just suddenly staring.

00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:31.360
Eyes locked on you, mouth agape. And you, Jules,

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:34.760
recognize this figure. I was going to say, I

00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.380
thought I recognized that voice. It may be a

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:42.909
voice I used during the first episode. Because

00:39:42.909 --> 00:39:45.889
this is a figure that you had, when you were

00:39:45.889 --> 00:39:48.090
leaving Sarul, when you were in the midst of

00:39:48.090 --> 00:39:49.909
this sort of great storm that was just tearing

00:39:49.909 --> 00:39:53.170
your world apart, you went into this little pub.

00:39:53.329 --> 00:39:55.510
You went and you gathered these people around

00:39:55.510 --> 00:39:59.150
you. You inspired them to leave. Yes. I did recognize

00:39:59.150 --> 00:40:02.070
the voice. Yes. Yes. One of these people was

00:40:02.070 --> 00:40:05.969
an old man with withered, curly, gray hair. A

00:40:05.969 --> 00:40:08.389
man named Grindy. You could see he's still wearing

00:40:08.389 --> 00:40:13.000
his way oversized, like, torn up hat. Very notably

00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:14.920
that the left sleeve of his patchy jacket hangs

00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.460
limp at his elbow, where you know he lost his

00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:21.199
arm, or half his arm, in a masonry accident.

00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.400
You know this is a man that you led out of Sarul,

00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:27.460
and a lot of the folk there were replaced in

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:29.639
different worlds. Now you know where he was put.

00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:35.960
His mouth just opened. He just breaks to a smile.

00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.099
Prince Jules! Oh, Prince Jules! And he just runs

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:41.440
over to you and like, just like, tries to give

00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:44.420
you a one -armed hug, almost stopping short because

00:40:44.420 --> 00:40:45.800
he's moving towards the entrance of this place,

00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:47.239
and there's a number of people around who kind

00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:49.360
of look at him distastefully, and he sort of

00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.880
shrinks back, almost like more towards the alley,

00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:56.079
looking a little embarrassed. What was his name

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.519
again? Grindy. Grindy? Yeah, G -R -I -N -D -E.

00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.440
Yeah, as this is happening, Jules looks and says,

00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:05.639
Grindy! Oh my god, you made it! You made it!

00:41:05.780 --> 00:41:09.519
And Jules is going to push through and open up

00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:11.809
to go and give him a hug. Hell yeah. Oh my god,

00:41:11.869 --> 00:41:17.590
you made it? One arm wraps around you. I did.

00:41:17.769 --> 00:41:22.869
I got out. I'm here. I was brought here pretty

00:41:22.869 --> 00:41:26.130
quickly. How the hell are you holding up? I'm

00:41:26.130 --> 00:41:30.289
doing the service thing right now for this lovely

00:41:30.289 --> 00:41:37.590
inn. Honestly, it's not so bad. Sometimes I feel

00:41:37.590 --> 00:41:39.650
like losing the arm was a blessing. It keeps

00:41:39.650 --> 00:41:43.309
me from having to go into, well, the works, as

00:41:43.309 --> 00:41:47.570
they call it. South City. The works? Ah, the

00:41:47.570 --> 00:41:52.150
iron works. Mostly owned by Marfil. It's... Jules,

00:41:52.150 --> 00:41:55.510
it's bad here. We used to think this rule had

00:41:55.510 --> 00:41:59.210
it worst of all, but it's bad here. But, but,

00:41:59.210 --> 00:42:01.750
but, that's... I don't want to worry you. You,

00:42:01.969 --> 00:42:04.809
you, you, you, you're a luminary. I saw you on,

00:42:04.809 --> 00:42:07.900
on... The network. We all saw you. I can't believe

00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:11.760
what you've been doing. Yeah, I'm Jules, okay?

00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:17.260
Of course. Just Jules. You're Jules. And you're

00:42:17.260 --> 00:42:20.900
out there now. And everyone's going to know you're

00:42:20.900 --> 00:42:23.239
going to bring us into the light, Jules. We all

00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:26.460
know it. And there's people here like you. And

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:28.980
he looks around very nervously. And I think he

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:31.159
pushes a little farther back towards the alley

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.199
and kind of with his one good hand waves you.

00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:36.400
Why do you have to specify with his one good

00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:41.340
hand? He knows he's armless. I just... Create

00:42:41.340 --> 00:42:45.139
the image. He's just kind of like... Don't have

00:42:45.139 --> 00:42:47.900
to kick him while he's down. Alright, yeah, Jules

00:42:47.900 --> 00:42:50.780
goes. Jules, you're pushing away towards this

00:42:50.780 --> 00:42:54.880
alley. Are you interested in this? No, that guy's

00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:59.440
only got one hand. I'm not going to... Right?

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:04.159
Gross! He's inside. He's gone. Fuck you, John.

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:11.099
Jules, I'm going to... He points inside. Catch

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:14.380
up, okay? All right, I'll be ready. Okay, catch

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:17.199
up. Zebulon wants to go sit down. Jules is about

00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:21.380
to die. As you move away, Jules, you move farther

00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:23.119
away from the crowd, kind of around the corner

00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:24.760
to this alley. You see a darkened space. There's

00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:27.280
no one inside, but you do see kind of around

00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:31.030
the back of this building, there is... Like,

00:43:31.030 --> 00:43:32.949
yeah, it looks like another exit towards the

00:43:32.949 --> 00:43:36.849
back, the servant exit. He just kind of, Jules,

00:43:36.949 --> 00:43:41.889
there's a revolution building here. Real deal

00:43:41.889 --> 00:43:44.050
stuff, like we could never really put together

00:43:44.050 --> 00:43:49.010
in Sarul. They're, they're serious. I thought

00:43:49.010 --> 00:43:52.469
you might be interested to know. I've, um, made

00:43:52.469 --> 00:43:55.010
some of my own contributions, and look, I'm not

00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:56.969
going to pressure you towards anything, but if

00:43:56.969 --> 00:43:58.909
you're interested in talking to anybody, they

00:43:58.909 --> 00:44:02.570
might, they might, Have use for a luminary. Your

00:44:02.570 --> 00:44:04.769
ability to send messages, your ability to get

00:44:04.769 --> 00:44:08.130
the word out. In the Old City, there are a number

00:44:08.130 --> 00:44:11.610
of these estates. Each has sort of been taken

00:44:11.610 --> 00:44:15.269
over by their own factions. And one of these

00:44:15.269 --> 00:44:19.590
estates, Salazar, is called, named for the family

00:44:19.590 --> 00:44:22.710
that had once controlled it. If you were to travel

00:44:22.710 --> 00:44:26.269
there, head to the primary building, the central

00:44:26.269 --> 00:44:29.250
structure. On the steps, you'll see a Novidado.

00:44:29.789 --> 00:44:32.989
Likely reading. And remember the words, only

00:44:32.989 --> 00:44:40.610
the dead are free. Okay? Okay. Okay. Jules, you

00:44:40.610 --> 00:44:44.349
don't look good. You look tired. I'm fucking

00:44:44.349 --> 00:44:48.690
exhausted. Some things never change, right? Nope.

00:44:49.389 --> 00:44:52.309
Maybe I'll see you at Salazar. I gotta take care

00:44:52.309 --> 00:44:54.630
of some business first. He just takes a long

00:44:54.630 --> 00:44:57.650
moment to smell. You are very deviously opening

00:44:57.650 --> 00:45:02.900
up your dice box. Right now. Oh, no, don't mind

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:09.440
my dice box. I was going to go play D &D later

00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.599
with my friends. You didn't have to make it weird.

00:45:13.500 --> 00:45:16.719
Do you remember my friends? The Delights, yes.

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:20.619
Have you seen any of them around? Here? Did they

00:45:20.619 --> 00:45:26.019
get relocated here? No, no, I... No. I'm sure

00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:28.289
I'd recognize them. They were always... The stars

00:45:28.289 --> 00:45:32.730
of the low city. You haven't seen any food gone

00:45:32.730 --> 00:45:36.130
missing or anything you can't explain? Not like

00:45:36.130 --> 00:45:39.590
the old ways, no. Okay. Keep your ears out for

00:45:39.590 --> 00:45:43.570
me, please. Will do. Absolutely, I will. Keep

00:45:43.570 --> 00:45:47.409
my ears out. I'll ask my contacts. Maybe someone's

00:45:47.409 --> 00:45:51.250
seen something. Thank you. I gotta get some sleep.

00:45:51.289 --> 00:45:53.710
I got a big day tomorrow. But it was really,

00:45:53.849 --> 00:45:57.460
really good to see you. and I'll see you again

00:45:57.460 --> 00:46:01.820
soon. This old man just smiling, this wrinkled

00:46:01.820 --> 00:46:05.480
smile, and you get the impression that a smile

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.219
like this has not touched his face in a long

00:46:07.219 --> 00:46:12.539
time as he turns and moves away, skittering sort

00:46:12.539 --> 00:46:15.260
of across the crowd, skittering to the next alley

00:46:15.260 --> 00:46:18.840
he can go to, knowing in that way that the folk

00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:20.659
of the low city know that they're just not wanted,

00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:26.440
not wanted to be seen. Hey, Grindy. Hmm? Hold

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:30.219
your chin up. You be proud of who you are. I'm

00:46:30.219 --> 00:46:32.760
proud of you. We'll have a lot to be proud of

00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.019
soon, Jules. All of us. Fucking right. And you

00:46:37.019 --> 00:46:39.400
see him just disappear into an alley into the

00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:42.960
darkness, out of the moonlit streets. I think

00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:44.860
there's a bit of a crowd almost like looking

00:46:44.860 --> 00:46:47.739
at you. People, as you've kind of been standing

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:49.139
in one place, people are starting to recognize

00:46:49.139 --> 00:46:52.360
you. There's some like whispers, but no one close

00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:55.360
by, no one staying near enough. Yeah, Jules recognizes

00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.039
that and then hurriedly goes into the door. Push

00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:03.960
room again. And you step inside. And what follows

00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:08.420
us will move through rather quickly. Why are

00:47:08.420 --> 00:47:11.119
you dancing? It's not a dance party. Yeah, but

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:14.380
the music's dancey. Anyway, what happens next

00:47:14.380 --> 00:47:16.449
will pass through. quite quickly because we have

00:47:16.449 --> 00:47:18.909
a lot of stuff, a lot of content in this arc.

00:47:19.090 --> 00:47:20.769
I don't want to hold up too, too much on little

00:47:20.769 --> 00:47:22.690
things unless you guys have an interest in them.

00:47:22.829 --> 00:47:24.989
So I'll ask you, is there anything you are interested

00:47:24.989 --> 00:47:26.570
in pursuing in this night or would you rather

00:47:26.570 --> 00:47:28.909
just zip -zop -zoop over it as you go into rest?

00:47:29.510 --> 00:47:31.269
Well, it's more like early morning, but yeah,

00:47:31.309 --> 00:47:34.849
I guess I'm most interested in getting our eight

00:47:34.849 --> 00:47:36.889
hours so that we can wake up and still have some

00:47:36.889 --> 00:47:40.869
daylight. Right. Yeah, Jules is thinking the

00:47:40.869 --> 00:47:42.989
same thing. He just wants to get to sleep so

00:47:42.989 --> 00:47:46.440
that morning can come quicker. Okay. You take

00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.820
your eight hours, and we'll say it is 8 .30 upon

00:47:49.820 --> 00:47:51.820
the time you awaken. We'll say you moved to the

00:47:51.820 --> 00:47:54.460
city pretty fast to get to this point. I just

00:47:54.460 --> 00:47:57.059
didn't spend a whole lot of time on this. During

00:47:57.059 --> 00:47:59.980
the night, I think you have nice accommodations.

00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.599
I think they're maybe almost sparser than you

00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:04.480
would have thought. They're like some of the

00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.280
lesser rooms here, and John Franklin sort of

00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:08.980
embarrassed them. Oh, well, it looks like they

00:48:08.980 --> 00:48:10.699
were out of the good ones, unfortunately. Can

00:48:10.699 --> 00:48:13.360
I make another perception check on that? No,

00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.760
give me an insight check, sure. Insight or perception?

00:48:16.420 --> 00:48:21.340
Insight for this. Insight, okay. No. It was a

00:48:21.340 --> 00:48:24.900
nine on the die minus two. Yeah, looks like they're

00:48:24.900 --> 00:48:27.599
just out of the good rooms. God damn it. Probably

00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:29.179
feel bad for John Franklin. You know he hates

00:48:29.179 --> 00:48:32.559
sleeping in lesser rooms, but he... I know, this

00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:35.769
isn't even a double mattress for you, John. I'm

00:48:35.769 --> 00:48:39.010
sorry. Well, you know, I could go to other inns.

00:48:39.010 --> 00:48:41.190
I thought about it, of course, but I'll suffer

00:48:41.190 --> 00:48:42.849
through it. It's best that you guys get your

00:48:42.849 --> 00:48:45.610
rest for now. Well, we really appreciate it.

00:48:45.690 --> 00:48:48.730
I'm feeling a little better. I'm glad to hear

00:48:48.730 --> 00:48:51.110
it. And this room is for you both. I'll have

00:48:51.110 --> 00:48:55.429
my own place to sleep. Oh, we haven't... I thought

00:48:55.429 --> 00:48:58.090
we already woke up. We haven't slept yet? I went

00:48:58.090 --> 00:48:59.769
back the night before so I could do a little

00:48:59.769 --> 00:49:03.349
thing with Jean Franklin. Hang on. Stay on the

00:49:03.349 --> 00:49:07.679
voice. David here. That's what happened. Okay.

00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:11.400
It's morning now. You guys have a room. Sean

00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.219
Franklin kind of goes off to find somewhere else.

00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.639
He apparently has his own room, as he always

00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.920
does. No, he doesn't. Us as players knows he

00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.800
doesn't. You guys have your beds. You sleep a

00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.000
comfortable night. He promises in the morning

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:28.539
to find someone to talk to you guys, a physician

00:49:28.539 --> 00:49:31.280
of some sort, if you're willing. But for now,

00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:33.519
he knows you need to rest. So you go to sleep.

00:49:34.889 --> 00:49:38.590
hard to sleep your bones just just so cold under

00:49:38.590 --> 00:49:40.329
the covers and covers you probably get extra

00:49:40.329 --> 00:49:43.630
blankets and you still feel so cold and that's

00:49:43.630 --> 00:49:45.429
another thing too is like you've been moving

00:49:45.429 --> 00:49:47.389
through the city pretty fast you realize there's

00:49:47.389 --> 00:49:49.230
a good chance that some people here might start

00:49:49.230 --> 00:49:51.570
to realize that you have serino and it's not

00:49:51.570 --> 00:49:54.329
contagious jumping on you know made sure you

00:49:54.329 --> 00:49:57.150
knew that but still a matter of concern for the

00:49:57.150 --> 00:49:59.809
folks here so um but i think you hit the night

00:49:59.809 --> 00:50:01.969
moving here the you know the sort of darkness

00:50:01.969 --> 00:50:05.710
covering you uh and It sounds like in Fiesta

00:50:05.710 --> 00:50:07.690
Town, it's pretty rare to see people with serenade.

00:50:08.670 --> 00:50:11.469
You're well covered. But under the light of day,

00:50:11.570 --> 00:50:14.510
you might be concerned that you could be seen

00:50:14.510 --> 00:50:18.170
as people who are ill. Except when you wake up,

00:50:18.269 --> 00:50:21.650
when day comes, when you finally drift off to

00:50:21.650 --> 00:50:24.929
sleep, and when finally you open your eyes, that

00:50:24.929 --> 00:50:28.269
cold is gone. You still feel sick right now.

00:50:28.329 --> 00:50:30.210
You're still under the poison condition, actually.

00:50:30.710 --> 00:50:35.119
But you have no exhaustion. Yeah, it's almost

00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:37.480
like something was siphoning away heat from your

00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.239
body and energy from your limbs and from your

00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:44.619
mind, and that's just gone. That feeling is gone.

00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.780
It's strange. Yes, but apparently it's going

00:50:47.780 --> 00:50:49.460
to come back tonight and maybe even worse, but

00:50:49.460 --> 00:50:53.059
for now you feel great. Zebulon immediately looks

00:50:53.059 --> 00:50:55.000
over to Jules' bed to see if Jules is awake.

00:50:55.579 --> 00:50:57.539
Oh yeah, Jules is already sitting on the side

00:50:57.539 --> 00:51:02.340
of the bed. Let's go. Let's do it. Okay. Let

00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:05.340
me ask this. Jean Franklin comes to your door

00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:09.420
somewhat early, knocks on it. He looks pretty

00:51:09.420 --> 00:51:13.840
tired as well. Well, you're awake. Good. Should

00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.599
we get a doctor in here? I can find someone.

00:51:17.500 --> 00:51:22.420
No, let's keep this quiet for right now. I mean,

00:51:22.460 --> 00:51:25.059
they could help. What if they meet us back here

00:51:25.059 --> 00:51:28.139
tonight? Maybe they can at least help us sleep.

00:51:29.019 --> 00:51:31.820
We can go do stuff during the day. That sounds

00:51:31.820 --> 00:51:35.400
good. I can do that. Someone we can trust, John.

00:51:35.900 --> 00:51:38.559
Yes, I'll find somebody. If you're going to the

00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:40.420
old city, I can stay here and get you set up.

00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:43.400
That sounds good. And I got the room for two

00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:45.500
nights, so I can make sure the room is in good

00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:48.780
shape while you're gone. And I will say, Stephen,

00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:51.860
as your sidekick, you can mark John Franklin

00:51:51.860 --> 00:51:53.920
down for one level of exhaustion that you're

00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.139
not aware of as a character. Oh, my God. I don't

00:51:58.139 --> 00:51:59.739
think there is any place for me to mark exhaustion

00:51:59.739 --> 00:52:03.360
down. I'll keep that in mind then. Yes, yes.

00:52:03.460 --> 00:52:06.000
If you want to take a look around, be careful.

00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:08.199
You look great, by the way. You look much better.

00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:11.940
Well, honestly, part of my thinking was that

00:52:11.940 --> 00:52:15.079
Jean would rest while we were gone. You know

00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:17.539
what I mean? And he seemed excited at the prospect

00:52:17.539 --> 00:52:19.679
of, oh, I'll watch your room for you. Right.

00:52:20.300 --> 00:52:24.980
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so you guys, I guess, push

00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:27.880
out of the room and start heading away. Yeah.

00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:30.619
He kind of waves you off and too quickly steps

00:52:30.619 --> 00:52:35.500
inside the room and closes the door. Poor Jean.

00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:38.880
He's so sweet, isn't he? You hit the streets.

00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:42.199
And let's just make this quick. You are moving

00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.539
to the north and to the east, following roads

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:47.820
that tend to get a little shabbier the farther

00:52:47.820 --> 00:52:49.639
you go. You're still in Fiesta Town. Everything

00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:51.880
is still great. Everything is still a party.

00:52:52.260 --> 00:52:57.170
But quickly you start to really see the... cracks

00:52:57.170 --> 00:53:01.730
in the facade. You see them in the figures that

00:53:01.730 --> 00:53:04.489
kind of mingle amongst the crowd with a little

00:53:04.489 --> 00:53:08.869
space around them. You see low, soot -covered

00:53:08.869 --> 00:53:13.090
faces, burned hands, singed hair, eyes on the

00:53:13.090 --> 00:53:16.409
ground, just moving into alleys and vanishing,

00:53:16.409 --> 00:53:19.670
much like Grindy, much like rats scurrying from

00:53:19.670 --> 00:53:22.769
a place where they know they are potentially

00:53:22.769 --> 00:53:25.809
endangered. You see these more and more as you

00:53:25.809 --> 00:53:29.389
get closer and closer to where this district

00:53:29.389 --> 00:53:32.869
sort of falls off. You see guard patrols are

00:53:32.869 --> 00:53:35.090
a little heavier at the sort of border between

00:53:35.090 --> 00:53:37.889
districts, kind of looking at you nervously as

00:53:37.889 --> 00:53:39.929
you move by, that you move with purpose and they

00:53:39.929 --> 00:53:42.929
don't stop you. And then there are no guards.

00:53:43.590 --> 00:53:48.630
There is just the low, the unfortunate, and there

00:53:48.630 --> 00:53:53.269
are a lot of them. It becomes so obvious so quickly

00:53:53.269 --> 00:53:55.849
that this, District you're moving into, these

00:53:55.849 --> 00:54:00.190
streets so filled with people, tents and structures

00:54:00.190 --> 00:54:03.690
that are like run down, but so many beds lining

00:54:03.690 --> 00:54:07.409
them. This must be by far the most populous district

00:54:07.409 --> 00:54:10.989
in the city. There are multiple families for

00:54:10.989 --> 00:54:13.010
every building, and every time you pass one of

00:54:13.010 --> 00:54:15.510
these great manors on their little hills, you

00:54:15.510 --> 00:54:18.809
can see just like mobs of people just like in

00:54:18.809 --> 00:54:22.269
every window, packed in every door, tents all

00:54:22.269 --> 00:54:26.019
along the properties. And we're amongst the sea

00:54:26.019 --> 00:54:29.760
of just the desperate, the low. Where do you

00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:33.719
intend to move? Zebulon's looking for somebody

00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:37.780
that looks like they could be dangerous. Maybe

00:54:37.780 --> 00:54:41.960
somebody with a weapon. Very interesting. Okay.

00:54:42.739 --> 00:54:45.420
Let me tell you this, then. You push into the

00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:47.320
old city. You're sticking to the north or eastern

00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:49.679
side, and maybe you take a road that goes from

00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:53.920
there, pushing due south. Kind of lingering close

00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:58.219
to the border of Fiesta Town. You see some rough

00:54:58.219 --> 00:55:00.159
-looking gentlemen kind of like up ahead moving

00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:03.179
down south. And as you get further and further

00:55:03.179 --> 00:55:06.019
closer to the hill that sort of makes up the

00:55:06.019 --> 00:55:08.159
center of the city to where, once again, there

00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:10.300
are a guard, there are laws, there are rules.

00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:14.440
There's an estate that stands there. And it might

00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:17.480
seem interesting to you because this estate is...

00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:21.639
It's not falling apart. It's actually in great

00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:25.340
shape. You see a sign kind of pointing over a

00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:28.980
gate that says Rosas. And you see this, like,

00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:31.000
the manor's in great shape. A bunch of the wooden

00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:33.119
stone of the main building is just new construction,

00:55:33.380 --> 00:55:36.119
just all filling in these old weak points over

00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.000
years and years of, you know, what may have been

00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:43.460
misuse now taken over by new hands. You see this

00:55:43.460 --> 00:55:45.239
offensive black iron that rims the property,

00:55:45.340 --> 00:55:47.340
leaving only a single opening at the main gate.

00:55:47.869 --> 00:55:49.750
And you do see a number of sort of rough looking

00:55:49.750 --> 00:55:52.090
figures milling about, glaring at the passing

00:55:52.090 --> 00:55:55.190
crowds. There's a sort of great gap between these

00:55:55.190 --> 00:55:57.829
figures and everyone around. You see some folks

00:55:57.829 --> 00:56:00.929
that you saw you were following nod and push

00:56:00.929 --> 00:56:04.230
past them and move into the gate. And this is

00:56:04.230 --> 00:56:06.510
a place where you might find figures that you're

00:56:06.510 --> 00:56:09.530
looking for. Actually, real quick though, I do

00:56:09.530 --> 00:56:11.510
need to do something. I want you to roll me,

00:56:11.590 --> 00:56:13.090
I gave you this information, but I want you to

00:56:13.090 --> 00:56:14.670
roll me an investigation check to see how long

00:56:14.670 --> 00:56:17.159
this is going to take. Because time is important.

00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:19.519
Okay, so we have no exhaustion, so it's just

00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:22.780
straight up, right? Yes, no exhaustion, straight

00:56:22.780 --> 00:56:27.099
up. No. Disadvantage. You're poisoned. You're

00:56:27.099 --> 00:56:29.960
still poisoned. Oh, jeez. And I have a minus

00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:32.320
two to investigation. Oh, my gosh, this is going

00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:38.000
to be rough. Oh, shit. All right, so 12 was the

00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:40.590
lowest roll. That's not bad. Not too shabby.

00:56:40.630 --> 00:56:42.630
Oh, it takes you only an hour to like find this

00:56:42.630 --> 00:56:45.130
place that maybe you ask around or you see like,

00:56:45.150 --> 00:56:47.150
you know, some, like I say, some, some tough

00:56:47.150 --> 00:56:49.570
looking guys that seem to create space around

00:56:49.570 --> 00:56:51.429
them as they move. They're easy to spot here.

00:56:51.550 --> 00:56:53.269
They're the biggest ones. They're the meanest

00:56:53.269 --> 00:56:55.409
ones. They're the only ones who are really armed.

00:56:55.829 --> 00:56:58.429
Um, and you begin to see what, what might be

00:56:58.429 --> 00:57:02.210
like the criminal underbelly of this place. Okay.

00:57:02.250 --> 00:57:06.150
So as these, uh, rough and tumble looking guys

00:57:06.150 --> 00:57:09.530
are walking through, The crowd's partying around

00:57:09.530 --> 00:57:12.889
them. Zebulon wants to come up next to them and,

00:57:12.929 --> 00:57:18.429
hey, hey you. A man with just the biggest mustache

00:57:18.429 --> 00:57:21.449
you've ever seen in your life. Just this absolutely

00:57:21.449 --> 00:57:25.750
massive curled mustache over this sort of sneering

00:57:25.750 --> 00:57:29.510
grin just looks down at you. He spits to the

00:57:29.510 --> 00:57:34.869
side. What do you want? So here is where we have

00:57:34.869 --> 00:57:37.719
to dive into something really fast. What is happening?

00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:43.960
What is happening? So, Zebulon is a rogue, which

00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:47.059
means he has certain things. And I'm thinking

00:57:47.059 --> 00:57:50.900
that he got this particular skill while training

00:57:50.900 --> 00:57:54.599
with his brother Arhalon. In order to uphold

00:57:54.599 --> 00:57:58.960
justice, sometimes you need to learn about the

00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:03.400
criminal underbelly. Okay. Zebulon wants to ask

00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:09.400
this man about any... fresh hot bounties using

00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:15.400
thieves can't oh shit that's so awesome that

00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:20.699
is that is really cool oh yeah baby okay okay

00:58:20.699 --> 00:58:24.519
um yeah okay okay you you so you do this thieves

00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:26.360
can't tell me what do you think this looks like

00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:27.679
i imagine i think it's like hand signals are

00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:32.380
involved well i think i think it can be any number

00:58:32.380 --> 00:58:35.920
of you know whether it's like written word and

00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:40.199
symbols or hand symbols or I think there's even

00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:43.300
just like a verbal component where it's like

00:58:43.300 --> 00:58:46.360
speaking in code sort of it sounds like a normal

00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:49.739
conversation it just apparently takes four times

00:58:49.739 --> 00:58:53.559
longer to get your point across than it would

00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:56.739
be if you just said hey tell me about any cool

00:58:56.739 --> 00:58:59.519
new bounties on the street I'm here to collect

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.519
information on these cool new bounties this is

00:59:03.099 --> 00:59:05.079
This is why I love them making this more open

00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:08.039
because I never expected you to get in here so

00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:11.199
quickly. Okay. But I absolutely love this. Okay.

00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:13.860
And I think it only makes sense because not only

00:59:13.860 --> 00:59:15.519
are you using Thieves' Cant and you're kind of

00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:18.079
like singing things out, you're also kind of

00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:19.980
a noted figure. And even people here probably

00:59:19.980 --> 00:59:21.840
recognize Zebulon. And I think this is a very

00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:25.159
interesting, very curious situation. We should

00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.079
have disguised ourselves. Yeah, maybe. I think

00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.059
I can do that. You say that. But this figure

00:59:30.059 --> 00:59:32.300
kind of looks at you, follows up. He has this

00:59:32.300 --> 00:59:34.639
kind of a twinkle in his eye. His smile kind

00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:39.619
of widens. Go on in. Serapio will see you. There

00:59:39.619 --> 00:59:42.679
may be something of interest to you. Yeah, I'm

00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:44.920
definitely going to want to roll or try to roll

00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:49.519
insight on this one. Okay. Can Jules get in on

00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.019
that, too, even though he couldn't understand

00:59:51.019 --> 00:59:53.420
really what happened? You are surprised this

00:59:53.420 --> 00:59:55.699
guy just said, like, hey, come on in. Roll insight.

00:59:55.860 --> 01:00:00.170
Yeah. With disadvantage. Yeah, it's still something.

01:00:00.949 --> 01:00:05.010
Oh, that was good. If this roll shapes up, then

01:00:05.010 --> 01:00:09.670
we might be all right. Nope, of course not. Three

01:00:09.670 --> 01:00:12.909
minus three. Damn. Second roll from you was an

01:00:12.909 --> 01:00:18.110
18. First roll was a nine. Damn. Yeah. This figure

01:00:18.110 --> 01:00:20.889
just nods to a woman, a man on the other side

01:00:20.889 --> 01:00:24.750
of the gate, just long, sleek black hair, lips

01:00:24.750 --> 01:00:28.750
just down in this frown. Eyes cold watching you.

01:00:29.329 --> 01:00:32.449
She just kind of moves wordlessly and gestures

01:00:32.449 --> 01:00:35.590
you to follow her. And she moves up the path.

01:00:35.989 --> 01:00:40.309
Do you follow? Jules just gives a nod. Shit.

01:00:40.449 --> 01:00:45.429
All right. Yeah. Let's go into this criminal

01:00:45.429 --> 01:00:50.269
stronghold and follow. You know, we deserve to

01:00:50.269 --> 01:00:53.710
die. This crime mother, apparently. We deserve

01:00:53.710 --> 01:00:58.650
to die. All right. All in. Okay. Here we go.

01:00:58.750 --> 01:01:01.510
Remember earlier when David said, hey, if you're

01:01:01.510 --> 01:01:04.530
too reckless, well, you know me. You know me.

01:01:04.650 --> 01:01:08.969
Here it is. Here it is. You are moving up this

01:01:08.969 --> 01:01:12.630
small hill past these lush rose gardens. Well

01:01:12.630 --> 01:01:16.010
tended. Again, this is weirdly beautiful. Nothing

01:01:16.010 --> 01:01:17.510
like anywhere else you've seen around here. It

01:01:17.510 --> 01:01:19.349
feels like the kind of estate you should see

01:01:19.349 --> 01:01:21.949
up on the hill, which right where you stand,

01:01:22.030 --> 01:01:24.190
this is almost right at the base of the hill.

01:01:24.670 --> 01:01:27.210
It just looms above you, almost like this one

01:01:27.210 --> 01:01:30.369
estate knows it doesn't belong there, and yet

01:01:30.369 --> 01:01:34.230
wants to. It just wants to. And so it feels like

01:01:34.230 --> 01:01:38.590
an extension of this Papalotian hill, I don't

01:01:38.590 --> 01:01:42.889
care. Papalotian. And yet, the dark figures that

01:01:42.889 --> 01:01:47.090
mill about, glaring, the daggers flashing on

01:01:47.090 --> 01:01:50.989
belts, it tells you this is not a good place.

01:01:51.570 --> 01:01:56.130
But you follow her to the... main, very large

01:01:56.130 --> 01:01:59.369
gate of this manor. And she's moving up towards

01:01:59.369 --> 01:02:03.650
the door. And then she stops. And you stop because

01:02:03.650 --> 01:02:07.590
you hear a commotion on the other side. Just

01:02:07.590 --> 01:02:10.750
like a pounding of some sore. And a voice, no,

01:02:10.769 --> 01:02:13.650
no, please, wait, please, please. And the door

01:02:13.650 --> 01:02:17.909
bursts open. You see a figure comes rolling out,

01:02:17.929 --> 01:02:20.610
tossed, cracking against the steps and rolling

01:02:20.610 --> 01:02:23.579
down them right before you. As a number of Tufts

01:02:23.579 --> 01:02:27.800
just stand in the doorway. Do not come back without

01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.239
the money. But you're not looking at those Tufts.

01:02:30.260 --> 01:02:31.659
You hear their voice, but you're looking down.

01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:36.460
Down in the face. Very familiar. That, despite

01:02:36.460 --> 01:02:38.420
the situation, despite being upside down on some

01:02:38.420 --> 01:02:40.599
stairs, a little bit of blood running from a

01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:42.460
crack, or a little, like, gash in their head,

01:02:42.579 --> 01:02:46.880
see you, and they smile. And Ramin Rasool says,

01:02:47.519 --> 01:02:52.610
What? Holy shit. What are you doing here? And

01:02:52.610 --> 01:03:16.780
we'll call it there. See, when I don't do too

01:03:16.780 --> 01:03:18.599
much like this, this, this, I gotta like create

01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:21.000
gaps in my notes to make my life easier. Great

01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.860
start, David. It's almost like you need a different

01:03:23.860 --> 01:03:27.920
program for notes. Yeah, what do you have your

01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:35.079
notes on? Notepad. That's all I know. Our D &D

01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:40.699
career rests on notepad. All right. Actually,

01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:41.940
you know what? This is actually a good thing.

01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:43.380
This is a good thing because I forgot. Yes, it

01:03:43.380 --> 01:03:44.659
is because now we have post -credit content.

01:03:44.920 --> 01:03:46.539
I'm going to check the pronunciation of a word

01:03:46.539 --> 01:03:49.460
because I'm going to fuck this word up. I've

01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:51.639
already fucked up every other word. It's so hard.
