00:00:00.940 --> 00:00:05.040
Hey fellow D &D and TTRPG nerds, this is Kayla

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.359
Lundgren from the Potions & Pokery podcast. Myself

00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:10.679
and my co -host Keisha are just two gal pals

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.099
who like to hang out and have casual conversations

00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:16.359
about Dungeons & Dragons and other TTRPGs. Our

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.620
show is loosely formatted, but we like to talk

00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:20.960
about a variety of topics relating to Dungeons

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.079
& Dragons and TTRPGs in general, plus we do the

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.500
occasional live play. We interview guests from

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:30.359
the TTRPG space, and we also do improv creations

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:31.960
where we make things up on the fly together.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.659
We give lots of tips and tricks, as Keisha is

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:37.979
our resident DM and Kayla is a Forever player.

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.399
So if you're new to the Dungeons & Dragons or

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.179
TTRPG realm, or you've been part of this realm

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:46.219
for a while and you want to learn some new tips

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:48.420
and tricks, or you just want to listen to some

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.920
goofy gals chat about Dungeons & Dragons, come

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.439
find us wherever you get your podcasts. Potions

00:00:54.439 --> 00:02:00.170
and potpourri. the concept of miracles. We all

00:02:00.170 --> 00:02:01.950
know the story of the demonic assault on the

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:05.349
world, of the vile Zomati Shab's boundless power

00:02:05.349 --> 00:02:08.449
and cruelty. And we all know how that story ended,

00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:11.509
what Atash and his celestial army charged down

00:02:11.509 --> 00:02:14.270
from the sky. But let's ignore the many stories

00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.610
of miracles that continue well beyond Atash's

00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:19.969
first appearance. Take Ramin Razum, for instance.

00:02:20.409 --> 00:02:22.689
Many of us have heard the basics of his story,

00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:25.870
a boy and his mother viciously attacked by an

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:29.229
imp in their home. A demon that they say was

00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:32.110
drawn by the crime of Romaine's birth by the

00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:35.389
unmarried Alia Rasool. Though the network cannot

00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:37.849
confirm that this opinion is, of course, true.

00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:40.629
What we can call true too is the bravery of the

00:02:40.629 --> 00:02:42.930
child who fought the end to protect his mother

00:02:42.930 --> 00:02:47.250
and fell to its stinger. When Atash arrived at

00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:49.629
the scene, drawn by the malign energies both

00:02:49.629 --> 00:02:53.430
Ramin and Alia had passed on, but Atash, spurred

00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.689
on by the boy's bravery, used his great power

00:02:55.689 --> 00:02:59.270
to bring Ramin back to life. The boy's soul returned,

00:02:59.710 --> 00:03:02.430
and strangely, he seemed to gain a sliver of

00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:05.689
Atash's celestial power. We've ever since heard

00:03:05.689 --> 00:03:07.889
that Ramin Rasool has begun to hone this power

00:03:07.889 --> 00:03:10.030
as he journeys the following footsteps of his

00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:16.479
savior and idol, the first luminary Atash. Who

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.639
the hell are you guys? Where am I? What is going

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.639
on? It has been a long, long, long, long -ass

00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.139
time since we've done this. I don't remember

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:29.719
how to play. It's been three weeks since we played?

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.199
I think maybe almost four. I think it's been

00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.000
almost four. Really? It's been a long time, man.

00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:37.819
Why? We are playing shoots and ladders, right?

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.979
I think so. Why do these dice have so many fucking

00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:44.560
numbers? I don't know. Throw them down. That

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.110
one's a three -pointer. Ooh, okay. All right.

00:03:48.150 --> 00:03:51.389
It did a rolly thing. It sounds nice. I remember

00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:53.389
that. So what does that number mean, though?

00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:57.550
What does it mean to you? What does it mean for

00:03:57.550 --> 00:03:59.889
your soul? It's about the journey, right? It's

00:03:59.889 --> 00:04:01.229
about the journey of the destination. We're going

00:04:01.229 --> 00:04:02.849
to dive in. We're going to figure this all out.

00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:05.990
Steven, speaking of journeys. Speaking of journeys.

00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:09.930
How was Poland, man? What's going on? Poland

00:04:09.930 --> 00:04:14.229
was incredible. We could do a whole podcast episode

00:04:14.229 --> 00:04:17.769
just about it. But we won't. Are you sure? Because,

00:04:17.850 --> 00:04:19.930
I mean, we're not doing much else. We don't have

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:21.829
anything else to do, I don't think. Fantasy pants

00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:27.269
unzipped in Poland. It was awesome. Saw a lot

00:04:27.269 --> 00:04:31.569
of sites. Met up with some distant family. Had

00:04:31.569 --> 00:04:34.990
an incredible, authentic experience there. Tried

00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:39.050
some Polish beer. Yeah, it was great all around.

00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:43.889
And on the topic of Poland, there... They're

00:04:43.889 --> 00:04:48.910
known for a lot of things. Vodka. Gross. Handmade

00:04:48.910 --> 00:04:52.149
lace is a really big export in Poland. Okay.

00:04:52.410 --> 00:04:55.689
Where are we going? Also, amber. I'm so curious.

00:04:55.790 --> 00:04:59.149
Amber. You know, like the bugs in amber sort

00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:01.949
of thing. You know, like a four plus million

00:05:01.949 --> 00:05:06.730
year old tree sap that gets. Okay. I didn't bring

00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.660
you guys any of that. I was just like, where

00:05:10.660 --> 00:05:13.360
is he going? I brought you guys something that

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.639
you could probably just buy at any other game

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.360
shop in the States. But I looked at them and

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.399
I was like, you know, those speak to me. Those

00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.579
look like something my friends would enjoy. Wait,

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.560
what? Yeah, I got you guys some dice from Poland.

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.620
Oh my gosh! I got a gift? That's so nice. This

00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:33.839
is a rare occurrence. David finally got a gift.

00:05:34.459 --> 00:05:38.899
Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. It's a cat's

00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:41.220
dice set. Oh my gosh. Did you get a cat's dice

00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:45.160
set? Oh my goodness. What the? Holy shit. Oh

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.959
man. This is wild. Thank you, man. I'm done.

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:51.000
Just one second. Oh my God. That is, that is

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.319
insane. It's in Zloty. This is my first new like

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.220
fantasy pants dice set because I don't count

00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:58.220
the gold vein because they betrayed me immediately.

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.879
So they don't count. That was so satisfying.

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.639
Oh my gosh. Look at these. Oh, there's little

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.649
cats. Oh my. Goodness, that is adorable. And

00:06:07.649 --> 00:06:09.810
I got my wife is gonna steal these and I got

00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:11.430
us something kind of fun for us all to use together

00:06:11.430 --> 00:06:16.129
Oh What is that? What is that? Oh my is that

00:06:16.129 --> 00:06:18.649
a d100? It is a d100. That doesn't even make

00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:21.250
sense That doesn't stand on one edge. If you

00:06:21.250 --> 00:06:22.810
roll that it doesn't do anything. It takes forever

00:06:22.810 --> 00:06:25.430
to like find a spot to stand. Is it cracked?

00:06:25.670 --> 00:06:28.470
How do you know? Because it points straight up.

00:06:28.529 --> 00:06:31.569
Yeah, it is very clearly straight up. It's it's

00:06:31.569 --> 00:06:34.720
it's clear which one it is. Wow! I need to find

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.220
a way to use that. I don't know how I'm going

00:06:36.220 --> 00:06:39.360
to do it, but I will find a way. It's a little

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.040
bit bigger than a golf ball. Well, maybe somewhere

00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.120
around the size of a jawbreaker. Super cool.

00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:48.379
I like it. Dude, these dice even come with a

00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:50.540
little tray to roll it in. Oh, I didn't know

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:52.300
that. Oh, that's adorable. It's a nice little

00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:55.160
thing. So David's dice are cat themed because

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.519
David. I'm a cool cat. Jeremy's dice are like

00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.180
death and skull themed because. Because it's

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:06.250
me. Jules. He ran away. I don't think he likes

00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:09.889
his dice. I'm sorry to say. Can I have his dice

00:07:09.889 --> 00:07:13.689
too? Yeah, yeah. I'll take both the dice. Oh,

00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:18.490
now I see. You got the chopsticks for the holy

00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:20.410
water. I got the chopsticks and I am blessing

00:07:20.410 --> 00:07:22.310
these dice. Do you keep that away from my kitty

00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:26.589
dice? Keep it away. My kitty dice belong to me.

00:07:26.670 --> 00:07:28.870
My lovely dice from Steven have now been blessed.

00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:31.230
I'm going to anti -bless them the only way I

00:07:31.230 --> 00:07:34.310
can. No, don't you dare. And I got David's dice.

00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:38.329
Oh, man. Actually, I hope that doesn't actually

00:07:38.329 --> 00:07:42.449
work out in his favor. Oh, the D100. We are blessed.

00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:45.269
All right. Oh, my goodness. Bless this match.

00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:47.310
Oh, my goodness. Well, thank you, Steven. Yeah,

00:07:47.350 --> 00:07:50.350
of course. You good old friend -o, you. And as

00:07:50.350 --> 00:07:54.470
if that wasn't enough. We've got mail. Mail.

00:07:55.009 --> 00:07:59.329
Mail time. Our friend Centurion from the Discord

00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:01.449
server sent us a nice little package here. And

00:08:01.449 --> 00:08:05.089
it's been sitting here pretty much since before

00:08:05.089 --> 00:08:07.790
I left. Yeah, it came like the day before you

00:08:07.790 --> 00:08:09.430
actually left for Poland. And I'm like, well,

00:08:09.430 --> 00:08:11.629
I don't want to open this without everybody here.

00:08:11.790 --> 00:08:14.220
So it's been sitting. and on my dryer. So I'm

00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:17.480
waiting for today. I hope it's not a puppy. Oh,

00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:24.199
God. It's a bird. Oh, no. Oh, man. All right,

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.839
Stephen, what about your dangerous knife? There

00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.379
was nothing dangerous about your terrifying murder

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:31.420
knife. I think you have a terrifying murder knife.

00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:34.480
No, he's talking about the razor. This is my

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.019
knife. Oh, that's exciting. I want Stephen's

00:08:38.019 --> 00:08:40.299
bloody knife. What bloody knife? What bloody

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:44.580
knife? When was that a thing? Just open the damn

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:48.299
package. Years later, there's going to be a special

00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:51.419
on TNT. You'll be like, looking back to the podcast.

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.379
We should have known all along. I've been saying

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.460
it for years. For years. And you know I've been

00:08:56.460 --> 00:08:58.820
saying it. Steve Rodriguez is a serial killer.

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.899
It's out there. The untold story. You or me?

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.539
Well, it's been sitting in your apartment. And

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:08.820
you've been just having to look at it. Okay.

00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:11.559
That's fair. Oh, listen to that. Box cutting

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.919
sound. You're next. God, look at, Stephen's giving

00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.960
me that look. Filled with hunger. Remember the

00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.700
recent killings in Poland? Last two weeks? Jesus.

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.779
That was wild. Okay, let's see what we have.

00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.740
What we got? I believe, Stephen, you don't even

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:33.580
know what's in here, correct? No, I don't. It's

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:39.080
a smile. It's a laugh. I love that. This is beautiful.

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.620
It's not for David. Oh, my gosh. All right. There's

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:49.399
also very clearly a note. Well, since the coffee

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.580
is clearly not for David, let's let David at

00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:55.919
least read the note. All right. All right. You

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.559
know what? And then we'll talk about this coffee.

00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:01.799
Oh, yeah. Thank you, Fancy Pants, for all the

00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.340
hard work you do. Included is a bag of one of

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.879
my favorite coffees made by a local roaster.

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.279
I hope you enjoy. Your faithful listener, Strong

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.879
Ash says. Hell yeah. Thank you, Strong Ash, a

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.759
.k .a. Centurion. Thank you. And we've got a

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:23.940
bag of Monk's Blend Medium from Lonely Monk Coffees.

00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:27.639
Ooh. Dude, he got it all right. We decided that

00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.159
between the two of us, we like a medium. Yep.

00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:33.820
And we got whole beans. This is perfect. This

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:36.580
is fantastic. Thank you. We appreciate you so

00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:39.919
much. I'm not going to taste it. That was a once

00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.379
in a 10 -year experience for me. So if you guys

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:45.539
want to check out LonelyMonkCoffeeRoasting .com,

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:54.379
all be friends. Why not? Let's all hold hands

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:56.500
in this wild, wild world of ours. Awesome. And

00:10:56.500 --> 00:11:00.720
drink coffee. Well, no. We just had a homebrew.

00:11:01.149 --> 00:11:03.730
A cup of coffee. So we'll probably coffee it

00:11:03.730 --> 00:11:05.370
out for the night. Otherwise, I'll be up till

00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:09.750
morning. But next sesh. Absolutely. Let's dig

00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:12.889
into some Lonely Monk. Absolutely. That's really,

00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:15.250
really, really cool. Thank you so much. Thank

00:11:15.250 --> 00:11:18.210
you. Really appreciate it. Well, well, well,

00:11:18.370 --> 00:11:22.710
well, well, well. Gentlemen, we're back. I'm

00:11:22.710 --> 00:11:25.379
afraid to say it. Honestly, I'm going to throw

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:29.419
you guys hard into the fire. Great. Why? Because

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:31.440
I'm building to something, and we're all building

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.580
to something. The fire's been burning nonstop.

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.360
I know, I know, but here's what I'm asking. And

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.460
we didn't start the fire, you did. I think in

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:42.100
this episode, we're going to see all the current

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:46.039
PCs active. What? It's going to be a lot to ask,

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.980
because I've got to start off. Like I said, we've

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:50.399
got two timelines going on. Right now, after

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.179
taking about an hour to find the Rosas estate,

00:11:54.079 --> 00:11:56.399
Zebulon and Jules are sitting about 10 .30 a

00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.440
.m. on day one. Now, the last we checked in on

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.460
Crispin and Dresden, it was about 5 .30 a .m.

00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:07.240
on day one as they are arriving in the port city

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.559
of Manzanares on the world of San Satyan. So

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.679
we gotta just cut back in time a little bit,

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.620
check on those two, get their story going, and

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:18.080
I promise, I promise both you guys, my players,

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.519
and all you listeners out there, I have a purpose.

00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:22.720
There's a method to this madness. And this is

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.299
going to get a lot more tidy, a lot more clean,

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:28.279
a lot more exciting very, very soon. We should

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.679
get like a whiteboard. I kind of should get one

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.720
because like timelines are going to be wild and

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.679
all over the place. But you know what? It's going

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.580
to be a good time. I'm really excited. We have

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:41.419
some crazy, crazy shit to get to. So let me recontextualize

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:45.000
the scene for you guys as you step back into

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.639
the shoes of Crispin Dubois and Dresden Kellig.

00:12:49.389 --> 00:12:51.830
But let me do that after I remember to plug in

00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:55.769
Syrinscape, because I didn't do that. Oh, there

00:12:55.769 --> 00:12:59.610
we are. Dark music to start. Welcome back, everybody.

00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:02.909
Seriously. It's a dark world. In a dark desert.

00:13:03.090 --> 00:13:05.110
Well, technically not so, so dark, because it's

00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:09.470
morning. But still, it's a dark situation. Because

00:13:09.470 --> 00:13:13.710
as the fire opal concord jewel is slowly descending

00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:16.830
in the sky above Manzanares, and you're getting

00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:20.080
ready to... Put boots on the ground on this world

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.879
for the first time to accomplish your missions,

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.539
given to you by Sholay and by jewels, in a sense.

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.600
You stare across from this fire opal jewel. You

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.700
stare across to the other side, to their seats,

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:36.500
where Jessenth Kellig and his retinue are watching

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:40.139
you. And here I will introduce your first obstacle.

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.169
You need to get from the jewel to the city. This

00:13:45.169 --> 00:13:47.370
is not a packed jewel. There's not a lot of people

00:13:47.370 --> 00:13:51.970
here. And if there's enough space out in the

00:13:51.970 --> 00:13:55.070
wastelands between this town and San Sitian City,

00:13:55.289 --> 00:13:57.350
if there's a point in time where Justin can make

00:13:57.350 --> 00:14:01.409
a move without being seen and noted, he will

00:14:01.409 --> 00:14:04.669
strike. You can read that in the way he watches

00:14:04.669 --> 00:14:08.269
you. He's waiting for his chance. So as this...

00:14:09.689 --> 00:14:13.470
People start to filter out into the streets of

00:14:13.470 --> 00:14:16.509
the small town. What do you guys want to do?

00:14:17.490 --> 00:14:22.649
All right. So we have to make the same journey

00:14:22.649 --> 00:14:27.789
from the jewel to the city. It took how long?

00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:30.610
It was a couple hours, wasn't it? It was about

00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:33.570
two and a half hours. Two and a half hours. You

00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:36.450
said it's 5 .30 a .m. now, so it's bright out.

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:38.799
Or it's going to be light out. You have to go

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:42.720
in by pure foot. Two and a half hours. Oh. That

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.379
might work. Oh. Did you know that I had this

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:48.580
spell or something? Like, I feel like... I don't

00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.039
know. What spell? What? You guys jump again?

00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:53.720
No. I'm not going to jump all the way to town.

00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.240
I'm not going to cash jump. Give me, like, 30

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.419
seconds to read it one more time. All right.

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:02.399
No, you don't have to do that, really. Okay,

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:08.860
all right. Jesus Christ. That's why you're reading

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:12.279
that. Let me just say this. So while we're going

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:13.840
through this arc, at least at this point in the

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.000
arc where we're going to be kind of retreading

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.320
old ground, I am going to try to move a little

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.379
quickly with these characters. If we're touching

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:21.200
on information and things that we've already

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.460
seen before through the eyes of the others. I

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:25.940
figure since you as players have the foreknowledge

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:28.279
of what your other characters know, you won't

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.840
mind if I skip out on some detail here and there

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.779
describing landmark scenes, this and that. You

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:35.379
know, so long as it's within reason. I just want

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:44.779
to keep things going fast. That was very accurate.

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:51.779
Okay. So let's talk about getting out of the

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:55.259
jewel, I guess. Okay. So where are we sitting?

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.360
Where is Dresden sitting? Where is the door?

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.240
You guys are sitting on one. Let's just say this

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.340
way. You're about equal distance from the door.

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.019
Maybe like you're on the left side of the jewel.

00:16:05.539 --> 00:16:06.799
Jessenthen is right and you are on the right

00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.799
side. Everyone sort of moves, you know, starts

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.179
pushing towards the gate. And I will say Jessenthen

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:14.659
immediately gets up and shoving his way very

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:16.340
rudely through the crowd. You know, the small

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:19.080
sparse crowd to like be one of the first out

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.179
to make sure he can watch what you're doing.

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.299
Huh. He's got his bulky guards within there pushing

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:26.679
people to the side, making sure he's moving swiftly.

00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:31.639
That's the first thing you see. Okay. I'm just

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.340
going to say this now. I think Dresden is doing

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:39.500
the same exact thing in terms of he is not losing

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:42.679
sight of Jessenth. Even though he's got his own

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.379
places he's trying to go, people he's trying

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:49.320
to find, he is... very aware of justin then he's

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.320
not going to take his eyes off him he knows justin

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.360
is following him okay and something tells me

00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.480
justin knows that dresden knows oh yeah there's

00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.240
a it's a game of chess right now the two you

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.279
glancing at each other as you're pushing through

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.480
crowds occasionally you know figures pass you

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:05.799
could catch each other's faces moving moving

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.460
maybe like around the same pace so jeremy crispin

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:14.799
has some stuff that he could do does does dresden

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.900
have any utility that We could use to break line

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:21.940
of sight sort of thing. I don't know, a distraction

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:25.339
or something. Negative. Okay. You know what?

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:29.000
I mean, I have an echo. I could do something

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:34.200
with it. But I... Right. It wouldn't do much.

00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.539
I can... Okay. All right. I might be able to...

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:41.000
So are you basically... First things first, do

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.859
you intend to just get out of the jewel first

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:46.440
thing before making any moves? Yeah, I think

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.660
we all know that getting out fast and early is

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:54.500
key. And Dresden certainly isn't going to do

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:57.700
anything to Jessenth at all. Jessenth is going

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.940
to be the one that has to make the first move

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.700
if he's going to do something. You know he won't

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:02.440
hear, not until you're alone. He doesn't want

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.420
to lose sight of you until he can get you alone.

00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:10.779
How big is the crowd? Maybe 50, 60 people as

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:13.539
they're pushing out. Maybe big enough to get

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:15.980
lost in the crowd. What does it look like on

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:18.160
the outside of this? I will say at the very least.

00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:20.880
Okay, so you guys are pushing the outside. I'll

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.140
explain it once you get out. Well, hold on. I

00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:26.039
don't know if this will really give us any mechanical

00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.240
advantage to getting out, but I'm going to show

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.839
my hand and get this thing started. Once we get

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.059
up to start leaving, Crispin is going to cast

00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:41.150
Pass Without Trace on the both of us. Oh. Sorry,

00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:43.569
guys. Got to interrupt here. How fucking perfect

00:18:43.569 --> 00:18:47.349
is this? The coffee that we are drinking from

00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:51.869
Homebrew is their Pass Without Trace. Oh, man.

00:18:51.930 --> 00:18:55.210
That's so wild. Anyways, I'm sorry. That was

00:18:55.210 --> 00:18:56.809
a cool little nugget. That is cool. Continue.

00:18:56.869 --> 00:18:59.490
I'm not drinking it. That was the end. That was

00:18:59.490 --> 00:19:02.450
the end. That was all I had to say. It was meant

00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:04.670
to be. All right. Pass Without Trace. if I remember

00:19:04.670 --> 00:19:07.269
correctly, essentially gives you a massive boost

00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:10.470
to your ability to hide and to like stealth checks.

00:19:10.650 --> 00:19:12.349
I'll tell you exactly what it does. Tell me exactly

00:19:12.349 --> 00:19:16.210
what it does. The spell reads, a veil of shadows

00:19:16.210 --> 00:19:19.029
and silence radiates from you, masking you and

00:19:19.029 --> 00:19:21.309
your companions from detection. For the duration,

00:19:21.430 --> 00:19:24.569
which is up to one hour, each creature you choose

00:19:24.569 --> 00:19:27.589
within 30 feet of you, including you, has a plus

00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:31.369
10 bonus to dexterity, stealth checks, and can't

00:19:31.369 --> 00:19:34.359
be tracked except by magical means. A creature

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:42.559
that receives this bonage... All right. High

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.119
five for bonage. Dude, dude, run in your bonage.

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:47.359
High five for bonage. Thank you for giving us

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.119
quality content to leave in. A creature that

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.140
receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or

00:19:55.140 --> 00:20:00.880
other traces of its passage. I mean, we're all...

00:20:01.069 --> 00:20:07.049
We are adults, right? I'm 12. I'm 12. Receive

00:20:07.049 --> 00:20:16.069
bonus. Oh, damn. Okay, all right. All right.

00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:21.890
Adult time. Yeah, we're back. Okay. You cast

00:20:21.890 --> 00:20:24.910
this. Seriously, this is a continuous effect

00:20:24.910 --> 00:20:26.130
that you're going to be able to, like... try

00:20:26.130 --> 00:20:28.630
to weave into stealth. Everything around you

00:20:28.630 --> 00:20:31.690
seems to dampen. Both of your feet touching the

00:20:31.690 --> 00:20:35.609
ground becomes muted. And it feels almost like

00:20:35.609 --> 00:20:37.750
the shadows between people are almost pressing

00:20:37.750 --> 00:20:40.490
and covering you, twisting in a strange, surreal

00:20:40.490 --> 00:20:46.089
way to hide you almost in darkness. And I think

00:20:46.089 --> 00:20:49.029
with that, if you do this, let's paint this this

00:20:49.029 --> 00:20:52.250
way. You stand up. You guys are moving as described.

00:20:52.630 --> 00:20:55.720
Dresden looking adjacent. And then... Crispin,

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.480
maybe you come up behind Dresden as this is happening.

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.079
You cast this spell as you're kind of like down

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.680
low. No one can really see. You're small. You're

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.900
low. And as this happens, almost like we just

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:10.140
see a person moving right in front of Jesseth.

00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:12.720
And as he passes by, Dresden's gone. Hell yeah.

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.819
Just a veil of shadow almost appearing. Oh, that's

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.900
so cool. I love that. Just like this little lingering

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:19.460
shadow just like flickering, vanishing into the

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:22.500
crowd. And he's, what? What? Like looking around

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:25.500
frantically as he is received. Or Dresden has

00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:31.940
just received your bonage. And you... Nothing

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:36.059
gets it. So, with that, maybe he stops for a

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:37.900
second, kind of trying to take this in. And you

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.259
guys push to the front of the crowd. Push out.

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:44.059
You're not actually hiding as you step into the

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:48.569
light into the small town of... You see, again,

00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:51.509
a town of maybe like 20 or so wooden adobe buildings,

00:21:51.650 --> 00:21:54.670
very small structures, surrounded on three sides

00:21:54.670 --> 00:21:56.769
by great mountains, basically just resting in

00:21:56.769 --> 00:22:00.710
a sort of valley with one singular road pushing

00:22:00.710 --> 00:22:04.230
down to the south. And we know exactly where

00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:06.509
we need to go, right? You have enough knowledge,

00:22:06.549 --> 00:22:08.809
I think, to know, okay, we need to go to Sanctity

00:22:08.809 --> 00:22:12.849
on City. Okay. You're more worldly. Okay. Then

00:22:12.849 --> 00:22:15.329
real quick, let's talk about Wild Shape real

00:22:15.329 --> 00:22:19.920
fast, David. What? When you and I, I think it

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.920
was before I even left for Poland, we were talking

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.680
on a walk about wild shape. And you mentioned

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:32.720
animals that Dresden, Crispin may have seen on

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.700
God's breath and may be able to wild shape into.

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.359
Do you remember this conversation? I believe

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.140
so, yes. You said something about a horse. Yeah,

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.109
you would have seen a... Yeah, you want to see

00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:46.069
the horse. That's right. You definitely have

00:22:46.069 --> 00:22:49.309
the CR for it. Yeah. Yep. So like that's by the

00:22:49.309 --> 00:22:51.650
rules. I can just wild shape into a horse. You

00:22:51.650 --> 00:22:53.390
can wild shape into a horse. And then it looks

00:22:53.390 --> 00:22:54.789
like you're just going to be running away, but

00:22:54.789 --> 00:22:58.230
I'll be on your back. Yeah. So. Fuck yeah. Wild

00:22:58.230 --> 00:23:02.029
shape horsey boy. Let's see if I can be crisping

00:23:02.029 --> 00:23:06.710
again. I might need like 18 tries at this. Dresden,

00:23:06.769 --> 00:23:10.869
get on. Wild shape into horse. Ready to ride.

00:23:11.549 --> 00:23:15.589
Or be ratted. I like the thing that you said,

00:23:15.690 --> 00:23:17.569
Dresden, get on. Without question, Dresden just

00:23:17.569 --> 00:23:19.670
gets on top of your rabbit body. Like, okay,

00:23:19.990 --> 00:23:27.210
now what? This might be the weirdest thing I've

00:23:27.210 --> 00:23:31.309
ever done. All right, I'm picking up what you're

00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:33.650
putting down. I'll get on. Crispin is now a horse

00:23:33.650 --> 00:23:36.109
and can no longer respond. No, you got an A.

00:23:43.389 --> 00:23:46.849
Dresden comes up to the side of Horsey Crispin,

00:23:46.890 --> 00:23:50.910
pats him on the head. Good boy. And does it real

00:23:50.910 --> 00:23:54.730
quick because you're being pursued. You can hear

00:23:54.730 --> 00:23:57.230
actually behind you like, wait, there, there,

00:23:57.369 --> 00:24:00.690
there, stop them, stop. And are you sliding to

00:24:00.690 --> 00:24:02.509
the top? Yes, Dresden gets on immediately. Just

00:24:02.509 --> 00:24:05.869
jumps onto the horse, lands on the back, and

00:24:05.869 --> 00:24:08.690
I take it you're just bolting down that one road?

00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:13.059
Bolting. Double movement. You start to run, move

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:14.759
galloping faster than they could possibly catch

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:21.539
up to you. Dresden. What? As you... As you ride

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:26.319
atop this galloping steed, as you blast down

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.220
the road towards the town gates, into the desert,

00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.579
to the south, I think you... Well, at last, do

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:38.410
you turn back? Fuck. Sorry, I'm... I'm not trying

00:24:38.410 --> 00:24:40.750
to think about whether I would or would not based

00:24:40.750 --> 00:24:43.589
on the fact that you brought it up. I'm trying

00:24:43.589 --> 00:24:46.410
to think if Dresden actually just would. Yeah,

00:24:46.450 --> 00:24:49.890
and it's go natural. I think he would look back.

00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:54.369
Okay. I think he would look back. At least once

00:24:54.369 --> 00:24:57.329
we have finally left the plaza or wherever we're

00:24:57.329 --> 00:25:01.609
at, the main. You look back and you see Jessenth.

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:06.640
His yelling has stopped. He's just staring towards

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.019
you. And I'd like you to roll me an insight check,

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:13.519
because something seems off. All right. I'm using

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.980
this d20 from Poland. Yeehaw. Pressure's on.

00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:21.000
It's only a seven on the die, plus three for

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:25.480
ten. Ten. With a ten. Probably ain't shit. With

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.819
a ten, you just can tell that something's different.

00:25:30.509 --> 00:25:32.109
There's something in an expression that wasn't

00:25:32.109 --> 00:25:36.569
there before, like something has snapped. Ingesinth?

00:25:37.390 --> 00:25:40.230
Ingesinth. As he watches you go, as he gets smaller

00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:43.849
and smaller. We should not have, like, fucked

00:25:43.849 --> 00:25:45.269
around there. I should have just gotten on you

00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:47.750
and not made any jokes about it. We break brothers

00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:50.950
on the Fantasy Pants podcast. Well, no, I feel

00:25:50.950 --> 00:25:52.349
like if we hadn't fucked around, if I hadn't

00:25:52.349 --> 00:25:55.170
made silly jokes about patting you on the head,

00:25:55.190 --> 00:25:56.809
you wouldn't have noticed anything. I don't think

00:25:56.809 --> 00:25:58.089
mechanically that we would have gotten away.

00:25:58.269 --> 00:26:01.380
I don't know. Consequence. So, because you're

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:03.039
on horseback, and you can ride out and be a horse

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.579
for, what, one hour? Yeah, an hour. So, are you

00:26:05.579 --> 00:26:07.339
planning on staying as a horse the entire time?

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:09.319
Until you have to change back? Well, if it's

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:11.579
a two -hour walk, or a two -and -a -half -hour

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:13.160
walk, I'm guessing that a horse can get there

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.240
in less than an hour. Yeah, I was going to say,

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.579
you'll basically reach a city. We'll say it's

00:26:17.579 --> 00:26:20.900
530. You'll reach a city at about 630 a .m. Sweet.

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.779
So, we'll skip over the journey. You all know

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:25.799
what it is. Just a lot of cactuses. A lot of

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:31.470
sand. Not a lot of people. And no owl? No owl.

00:26:32.210 --> 00:26:38.750
Very good. And you come to San Satyan City. You

00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:40.750
see the same thing that your former characters

00:26:40.750 --> 00:26:43.490
did. The large, semi -equilateral, triangular

00:26:43.490 --> 00:26:47.250
walls surrounding this great city. You see the

00:26:47.250 --> 00:26:49.950
southern smokestacks of the works. You see the

00:26:49.950 --> 00:26:52.789
lively fiesta town. And in the light of the morning

00:26:52.789 --> 00:26:56.390
day, you can see this sort of darker area. These

00:26:56.390 --> 00:26:58.740
sort of great manners that... Even if my distance

00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:02.839
just don't seem quite right. Los Cavallones.

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:05.240
So there's no owl because it's not nighttime.

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:10.960
It's not nighttime. That's when... Yep. Very

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.480
good, Jeremy. Just throwing it out there. Bad.

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.880
And so you find yourselves at the gates to Sansatian

00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:24.190
City. And I'll ask you directly. What do you

00:27:24.190 --> 00:27:25.910
guys want to do? I mean, you move in, you see

00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:27.990
the same thing again that Zeb and Jewel saw,

00:27:28.190 --> 00:27:31.609
just people everywhere celebrating, partying,

00:27:31.609 --> 00:27:35.529
not one sad face in sight, except there's one.

00:27:36.650 --> 00:27:38.369
As you're moving around, you happen to pass a

00:27:38.369 --> 00:27:43.150
very, very tired -looking tortle. Pay no mind

00:27:43.150 --> 00:27:48.430
to that, though. So did you say that as we came

00:27:48.430 --> 00:27:51.799
in, could I... Could we clearly tell the different

00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:56.119
segments of the city? I think just as Jules had

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.480
that sort of innate sense to him, Dresden as

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.160
well would know there it is. Well, I mean, I

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.559
know that. I just mean, did we see it so that

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.220
I would know that there is a portion of this

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:10.000
city? Yes. You know the portion. You know where

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.299
it is. And I'll actually tell you something else,

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.180
too. You were with Cirilla. So you would know

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:19.000
more than anybody that... there was a large effort

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.619
to move a number of the people from Tythos, the

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:26.079
refugees of Sarul, to this particular place,

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:29.579
this city. Over a hundred of the folks to Low

00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:34.380
City now dwell in Los Cavallanes. Okay. You might

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:36.299
not know exactly where. I think once they were

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:39.119
off the citadel, no one cared enough to check.

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:44.880
Okay. So in that case, with all of that, I think

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.349
the first thing Dresden does... As we walk in

00:28:48.349 --> 00:28:50.630
and I just look over Crispin and give a nod.

00:28:51.630 --> 00:28:55.410
This way. And Dresden is going to start walking.

00:28:57.130 --> 00:28:59.829
Where are we going? David, how is it pronounced

00:28:59.829 --> 00:29:03.329
again? Los Gavilanes. Los Gavilanes. You can

00:29:03.329 --> 00:29:04.950
also say the old city. I think what you meant

00:29:04.950 --> 00:29:09.490
to say is Papalotian Hill. We don't say that

00:29:09.490 --> 00:29:18.839
word here anymore. Papalotian. The hill. We're

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.980
going to the old city. We're not going to find

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:24.480
what we need here. All right. Let's go to the

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.779
old city. Yeah. All right. You push on, push

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:31.579
through the old city. Say time is now around

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:35.000
seven. What do you intend to do here? You immediately

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:39.240
are met with a number of dilapidated manors,

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:41.720
large sort of estates covered with tents and

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.109
just people everywhere. People wearing. Just

00:29:45.109 --> 00:29:49.710
scuffed, worn clothes. The smell of just sweat

00:29:49.710 --> 00:29:54.650
and stink. It's everywhere. Covering everything.

00:29:55.289 --> 00:29:57.349
We said we were going to try to avoid this, but

00:29:57.349 --> 00:29:59.470
we're going to end up talking to ourselves. Oh,

00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:02.150
for certain. Luckily, your selves are asleep

00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:07.329
until nine. So. Okay, I think I got it now. So

00:30:07.329 --> 00:30:11.109
we're ahead of time. Yes. Okay. Well, it depends

00:30:11.109 --> 00:30:14.589
on who he is. Well, yeah. Dresden. Dresden. Zeb

00:30:14.589 --> 00:30:16.690
and Jules took a long rest, so Dresden and Crispin

00:30:16.690 --> 00:30:19.109
need to zoop on over and catch up in time. Yeah,

00:30:19.109 --> 00:30:21.349
okay. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves

00:30:21.349 --> 00:30:24.710
and rip open a time -space continuum and all

00:30:24.710 --> 00:30:27.369
that jazz. So you think they're coming here?

00:30:27.990 --> 00:30:30.809
I know they're coming here. They might already

00:30:30.809 --> 00:30:34.930
be here. Where should we start? What does Dresden

00:30:34.930 --> 00:30:38.390
know about the Old City? Honestly, probably very

00:30:38.390 --> 00:30:41.150
little. It's not something that they would talk

00:30:41.150 --> 00:30:44.009
about much. How about Crispin? Any knowledge?

00:30:44.470 --> 00:30:46.789
I mean, anyone can roll a history check to see.

00:30:47.190 --> 00:30:48.990
You would have no innate knowledge, but yeah,

00:30:49.009 --> 00:30:50.710
roll history. Let's start rolling dice here.

00:30:50.950 --> 00:30:53.549
Roll some dice. Ooh, look at that, a plus zero.

00:30:53.690 --> 00:30:56.049
Let's see what we get. Yeah, I only got a five.

00:30:56.670 --> 00:31:00.450
Four on the die, plus one. Crit my pants. Oh

00:31:00.450 --> 00:31:03.309
my god. Oh man. Steven, what is with you and

00:31:03.309 --> 00:31:06.690
your crits? First roll back. It's, it's, oh my

00:31:06.690 --> 00:31:09.940
gosh, it's insane. At the weirdest times, though.

00:31:10.019 --> 00:31:13.599
For a frickin' history check about the damn old

00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.619
city. This is like where the shit is at right

00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:19.519
now. This is the story. This is gonna be a good

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:21.799
check to make. Yeah, but we need it to kill time,

00:31:21.900 --> 00:31:26.500
not go super fast. You know that the old city

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:30.160
is generally broken up into a number of factions,

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.099
each of which generally kind of revolve around

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:37.890
these main sort of estates. So, like... You saw

00:31:37.890 --> 00:31:40.470
before there was a faction, Rosas, that lived

00:31:40.470 --> 00:31:41.930
at the Rosas estate that seems to be kind of

00:31:41.930 --> 00:31:44.369
like the criminal kingpins of the lower city.

00:31:44.450 --> 00:31:46.450
That's kind of the impression you got with Zebion

00:31:46.450 --> 00:31:48.769
and Jules when you approached those Tufts at

00:31:48.769 --> 00:31:51.109
the gate. There are a number of other factions

00:31:51.109 --> 00:31:54.549
like this. Salazar was mentioned to Jules. This

00:31:54.549 --> 00:31:56.390
looks like maybe it houses the revolutionaries.

00:31:56.930 --> 00:31:59.849
What Crispin knows is that there are indeed factions.

00:31:59.890 --> 00:32:02.289
Maybe even no hints of, okay, this is where,

00:32:02.410 --> 00:32:05.049
within that 20, this is where the sort of...

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.339
criminal underworld sort of resides. This is

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:11.440
where the revolutionaries are rumored to potentially

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.220
be staging something. You also know there is

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:19.640
a state called Moreno. This is essentially almost

00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.859
a religious center. The main manor has actually

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:26.140
been turned into a church to the patron deity

00:32:26.140 --> 00:32:30.720
of this city and this world, which is La Catrina,

00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.359
essentially seen as a goddess that's the embodiment

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.059
of death. That's all I'll tell you about her.

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:40.099
But you know roughly what some of these estates

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:43.380
do, what they oversee. You know that not everyone

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:45.079
is part of a faction. Most of the lower city

00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.099
are just people going to work, slaving away.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.160
But the main power in Los Cavalanes comes from

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.500
these estates. Okay. And would Crispin know if

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:57.299
any of them are likely to be friendly to luminaries?

00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.900
Ooh, that's interesting. Something I thought

00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:04.660
about, too, because you're a luminary. and I'm

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:08.779
still wearing a whole bunch of guard shit. It

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:11.900
is interesting. We're kind of sticking out. Yeah.

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.059
We can't just roll into criminal underground

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:19.119
and be like, oh, yes, hello, criminals. Well,

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:21.539
no, yeah, part of me was thinking, like, can

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:24.200
we look around for, like, dirty rags or something

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.500
that we could, like, put over us? You could probably

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:30.160
buy some even. Yeah, some street clothes. That's

00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.930
even weirder walking into a shop. Hey, I want

00:33:32.930 --> 00:33:35.789
to buy some nondescript clothes. I mean, you

00:33:35.789 --> 00:33:37.650
can just see clotheslines hanging in the low

00:33:37.650 --> 00:33:39.410
city and just ask, like, you know, hey, I can

00:33:39.410 --> 00:33:41.069
give you a few copper. And they'd be like, oh,

00:33:41.089 --> 00:33:42.970
yeah, throw them at you. Yeah. I mean, I guess

00:33:42.970 --> 00:33:44.829
whatever they're selling in the low city is what

00:33:44.829 --> 00:33:46.509
everybody's wearing in the low city. I didn't

00:33:46.509 --> 00:33:48.089
mean to derail what was happening. No, I love

00:33:48.089 --> 00:33:50.930
it. This is flavor, man. Is that something you

00:33:50.930 --> 00:33:52.529
want to pursue? Do you want to, like, have? Yeah.

00:33:52.630 --> 00:33:54.430
Well, just say it's something you can do. I think

00:33:54.430 --> 00:33:57.569
it's a very easy ask. And you guys are kind of

00:33:57.569 --> 00:34:00.349
blending in. Yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. Cool. As

00:34:00.349 --> 00:34:03.569
you push deeper in. Of the different factions,

00:34:03.930 --> 00:34:06.930
you would know that... I will say you don't know

00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:08.769
enough about Salazar and the revolutionaries

00:34:08.769 --> 00:34:11.989
that you could just approach them outright. I

00:34:11.989 --> 00:34:15.590
will say that Moreno, the main religious focal

00:34:15.590 --> 00:34:17.250
point, is generally going to be friendly towards

00:34:17.250 --> 00:34:20.530
anybody. It's really hard to say how Rosas would

00:34:20.530 --> 00:34:23.469
feel. Perhaps they'd have work for someone, but

00:34:23.469 --> 00:34:26.210
then again, they also are criminal, and you are

00:34:26.210 --> 00:34:29.690
representing very non -criminal elements. Give

00:34:29.690 --> 00:34:31.869
me the name one more time of the religious...

00:34:32.349 --> 00:34:37.050
Folks? Moreno. Moreno? Yes. All right. We need

00:34:37.050 --> 00:34:41.429
to speak to the families around here that, well,

00:34:41.449 --> 00:34:45.190
they control these streets. In Moreno, they're

00:34:45.190 --> 00:34:49.369
the least likely to send us away. You know this

00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:52.030
place better than I do. I'll trust where you

00:34:52.030 --> 00:34:56.050
take us. I rolled a natural 20. That's pretty

00:34:56.050 --> 00:35:00.880
fucking good. Let's start heading towards Moreno

00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:03.619
House, or at least looking around to see if we

00:35:03.619 --> 00:35:07.519
can figure it out where it's at. Time will be

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.119
8 o 'clock. You're moving swiftly, and you reach

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:17.150
a tall and noble estate of old stone. You see

00:35:17.150 --> 00:35:18.829
the central bulk of this particular building

00:35:18.829 --> 00:35:21.809
rises and narrows into a tall spire, which is

00:35:21.809 --> 00:35:24.909
sunken and collapsed on one side. Huge windows

00:35:24.909 --> 00:35:28.829
line the building's first floor. Many of the

00:35:28.829 --> 00:35:31.230
windows shattered and filled in by boards or

00:35:31.230 --> 00:35:33.289
rubble, but the ones that remain have been painted

00:35:33.289 --> 00:35:36.050
over by images of dancing skeletons covered with

00:35:36.050 --> 00:35:39.610
bright patterns of color. You see a number of

00:35:39.610 --> 00:35:41.769
figures in dark, tattered robes moving about

00:35:41.769 --> 00:35:45.219
the yard. which has been transformed into what

00:35:45.219 --> 00:35:47.699
looks like a practical garden, some food, some

00:35:47.699 --> 00:35:50.539
medicinal herbs and plants, and you know that

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:57.719
this is Moreno. Okay. I'd like to roll a religion

00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:03.980
check to see if I can go up and not speak their

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:08.360
language, but speak in a manner that would be

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.570
familiar to this particular religion. You know,

00:36:11.630 --> 00:36:13.949
you're not going to go up and, I don't know,

00:36:14.010 --> 00:36:17.789
religion talk. It's different. I get what you're

00:36:17.789 --> 00:36:19.489
saying. So I'm going to cut trying to explain

00:36:19.489 --> 00:36:22.690
it because I don't know how to. And I'm going

00:36:22.690 --> 00:36:26.030
to roll the die. And I'll let you figure it out.

00:36:26.170 --> 00:36:30.630
Okay, interesting. Well, it didn't go so well

00:36:30.630 --> 00:36:35.909
this time. That was a natural three. How do you

00:36:35.909 --> 00:36:38.030
awkwardly religious talk with a natural three?

00:36:38.269 --> 00:36:40.230
Well, right. I mean, like, you know, there are

00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:42.570
different religions with different gods and different

00:36:42.570 --> 00:36:45.989
prayers and different, you know, some of them

00:36:45.989 --> 00:36:48.329
do the sign of the cross. Some of them do the

00:36:48.329 --> 00:36:52.090
sign of not a cross. So I'm thinking. Yeah. Show

00:36:52.090 --> 00:36:54.030
me. What's the sign of not a cross? Well, I mean,

00:36:54.030 --> 00:36:55.750
there's this one where you do like a bunch of

00:36:55.750 --> 00:36:58.530
little crosses on your face. I don't know. I

00:36:58.530 --> 00:37:01.489
mean, I used to be. What? Yeah. I grew up Catholic

00:37:01.489 --> 00:37:03.349
and they did like this thing. Never heard of

00:37:03.349 --> 00:37:06.719
that. Listeners know. Huh. That's all right.

00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:08.840
All right. Yeah, so you just walk up to somebody,

00:37:09.059 --> 00:37:12.099
some disciple of the goddess of death, and are

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:16.960
like, hey, death, that sucks, huh? What a terrible

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.340
goddess. Your god's the worst god. I think you

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:23.639
just kind of go in. Maybe you don't really know

00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:25.519
exactly. Maybe this is kind of enigma to you.

00:37:25.699 --> 00:37:28.199
Right, like doesn't bow at the right place and

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.989
time. I love this because. maybe this is really

00:37:30.989 --> 00:37:33.469
a strange sort of disconnection for you because

00:37:33.469 --> 00:37:35.909
you come from God's breath where like these,

00:37:36.010 --> 00:37:38.989
I mean, like undead alligators, like death itself

00:37:38.989 --> 00:37:41.250
is something to be feared, creeping around every

00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:44.650
corner. It's terrifying. And these people celebrate

00:37:44.650 --> 00:37:47.409
it. It's strange. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's

00:37:47.409 --> 00:37:49.989
a really weird change. And maybe you have a hard

00:37:49.989 --> 00:37:53.130
time acclimating to that, but maybe you approach,

00:37:53.389 --> 00:37:56.289
you know, somebody and then how do you, how do

00:37:56.289 --> 00:37:58.050
you, how do you want to go about that? We're

00:37:58.050 --> 00:38:09.559
looking for the, Head of death. Okay. Like, the

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:13.900
main guy, or gal, who does the death stuff. You

00:38:13.900 --> 00:38:16.079
see this older dwarven man in the same sort of

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:18.280
tattered robes, um, just kind of looks up at

00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:21.159
you with these sad eyes, very, very weary, and

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.380
with a shaking hand, just kind of points you

00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:26.159
towards the main door into the, uh, the actual

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:29.119
building. Alright, with a three on the die, it

00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:30.579
wasn't, Sure wasn't going to go that well, but

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:33.400
okay. Definitely looks at you weirdly as you

00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.300
walk away. Yeah. It's like, man, this guy knows

00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:37.800
nothing about our religion. You didn't make friends.

00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.199
Yeah, we'll follow his creepy pointed finger.

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.980
Okay. You push through a large sort of oak door,

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:48.500
and inside you see that this sort of main floor

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:52.960
of this large manor immediately opens into what

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.570
was once a spectacular ballroom. You see sets

00:38:55.570 --> 00:38:57.610
of stairs on either side border this display,

00:38:57.750 --> 00:39:00.250
like curving curtains. And towards the back of

00:39:00.250 --> 00:39:02.409
the room, the old dancing floor has been covered

00:39:02.409 --> 00:39:05.110
over by makeshift benches. They all face the

00:39:05.110 --> 00:39:07.949
back wall, which still holds a raised stage platform.

00:39:08.369 --> 00:39:11.469
But now an altar sits here, dwarfed by an incredible

00:39:11.469 --> 00:39:14.670
painting that fully covers this wall. A woman

00:39:14.670 --> 00:39:17.829
with shining raven hair and dark flowing robes.

00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:20.670
A slender finger is raised to her pursed lips.

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:24.800
Eyes, gentle but with an edge of menace, peer

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:27.940
out over the room. You see a winged serpent is

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:30.460
coiled around her neck, its open mouth nearly

00:39:30.460 --> 00:39:33.920
touching the side of the woman's face. It's hard

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:37.079
to tell if it's moving in to bite or to whisper.

00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:41.059
Towards the front of this larger space, before

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:43.940
the benches, you see the makeshift hospital has

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:46.659
been set up. You see a number of forms emaciated

00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:51.530
and weak, maybe 50 in total. Rows of simple bedding

00:39:51.530 --> 00:39:52.949
and blankets have been laid out on the cracked

00:39:52.949 --> 00:39:55.110
stone floors. A number of figures move between

00:39:55.110 --> 00:39:57.489
the patients, checking on them and offering them

00:39:57.489 --> 00:40:00.329
flasks. And here's where we get into a really

00:40:00.329 --> 00:40:04.650
weird time -space situation. Because amongst

00:40:04.650 --> 00:40:07.530
these figures, you see one that seems to stand

00:40:07.530 --> 00:40:10.530
out. Because there's a lot of dark -looking robes

00:40:10.530 --> 00:40:14.760
tattered. And there's one person. Brown skin

00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:18.579
with wavy brown hair, wearing this very red tunic

00:40:18.579 --> 00:40:21.500
with a white floral pattern. Zebulon and Jules

00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:24.199
would know this character as Ramin Rasul. Right.

00:40:24.260 --> 00:40:29.039
Interesting. Would Dresden know? Hmm. Dresden

00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.960
likely followed Jules' exploits on Sasanko in

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:33.320
some of that footage. That's why I brought that

00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:34.960
up. You would have seen that he would challenge

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.760
Ramin. Okay. I may not know the extent of their

00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:40.559
relationship, but I know that he's connected

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:42.820
to Jules. You know that they at least are aware

00:40:42.820 --> 00:40:46.139
of each other. Ramin is hurriedly moving between

00:40:46.139 --> 00:40:49.000
patients. He looks very tired, very frantic.

00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:52.579
He's holding a flask in hand, and as he goes

00:40:52.579 --> 00:40:57.519
to a person who's sort of moaning, he reaches

00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:02.019
down and pours it into their mouth, strokes their

00:41:02.019 --> 00:41:05.199
hair as their eyes go glossy and close, and they

00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.719
start to snore, entering a slumber. And you see

00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:13.320
that as he moves back, the flask is empty. He

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.780
kind of, like, holds upside down. Not a drip

00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:19.360
comes out. And he sighs, looking at it. Do you

00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:20.920
guys want to do anything in here? You don't see

00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:23.460
anyone here that looks, like, particularly important.

00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:25.139
No one that looks like they're the head of this

00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:26.800
thing. There's no one at the altar. Everyone

00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.480
here is just tending to these patients. And I

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.820
think you can assume that these are the victims

00:41:31.820 --> 00:41:36.159
of Sarah now. Okay. Here's where the timeline's

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.659
going to get fun. Because Dresden's not going

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:42.269
to not go over to Ramin. Right. So Dresden goes

00:41:42.269 --> 00:41:48.409
over to Ramin. That's what that means. All right.

00:41:48.489 --> 00:41:54.449
Hey. Hi. Oh. You're Ramin Rasool, aren't you?

00:41:54.730 --> 00:41:59.230
Yes, I am. Do you need healing? I'm sorry. I'm

00:41:59.230 --> 00:42:03.989
mostly burnt out today. I need information. Information?

00:42:04.829 --> 00:42:10.269
Yes. Jules. He kind of smiles. Jules LaRoche.

00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:16.280
Yes. What of Jules? Yes, I know Jules. Do you

00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:20.480
know Jules? Where is he? I haven't... Is he here?

00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.559
On Sunset Yarn? Why would he be... You haven't

00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:27.039
seen him yet? No, no, I... We do believe he's

00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:29.539
on Sunset Yarn. My guess is that he's going to

00:42:29.539 --> 00:42:32.239
make his way over here soon. If he hasn't already.

00:42:32.699 --> 00:42:36.000
I'm afraid I might miss him then. I'm actually

00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:41.210
about to leave. He's in trouble. He... stops

00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:43.250
for a moment, like he's thinking that over, and

00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:46.829
then just kind of looks down to the floor. A

00:42:46.829 --> 00:42:49.590
lot of people are in trouble. All of these people.

00:42:50.469 --> 00:42:53.750
What's going on? What's wrong with all these

00:42:53.750 --> 00:42:58.309
people? This is... Serenno. This is the illness

00:42:58.309 --> 00:43:00.849
that is sweeping the low class of this world.

00:43:01.190 --> 00:43:04.150
What the fuck? We're doing what we can for them

00:43:04.150 --> 00:43:06.929
here, making them comfortable. And we help them

00:43:06.929 --> 00:43:09.750
to sleep. We found that if... They sleep during

00:43:09.750 --> 00:43:12.309
the hours of day. It will help to stave off the

00:43:12.309 --> 00:43:15.150
exhaustion that is stolen from them at night,

00:43:15.369 --> 00:43:19.829
and perhaps we can prolong their lives. Not forever,

00:43:19.969 --> 00:43:24.409
though. But if we... Listen, there's something

00:43:24.409 --> 00:43:27.230
I need to get. I have to go. I have to go soon

00:43:27.230 --> 00:43:31.829
to the Rosas estate. There's a medicine that

00:43:31.829 --> 00:43:35.769
we need that they have. So if Jules comes, I

00:43:35.769 --> 00:43:39.960
might miss him. You can't miss him, because he

00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:43.420
has serenade. Did we know that? I knew that.

00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.980
You did know that. Dresden knew that. From the

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:48.000
message. So you would be caught up on it. Yes,

00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.199
yes, yes, yes, yes. Ramin actually, like, hears

00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.019
that, and he looks kind of sadly down. And he

00:43:54.019 --> 00:43:56.679
actually looks down at himself and says, him

00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:00.860
too, then. He can't afford to miss you. We need

00:44:00.860 --> 00:44:05.289
your help. Then we need that medicine. He needs

00:44:05.289 --> 00:44:07.969
to sleep as much as he can every day to stave

00:44:07.969 --> 00:44:11.309
off death. Jules is a good person. He's a really

00:44:11.309 --> 00:44:13.929
good person. He deserves better. Will you come

00:44:13.929 --> 00:44:17.710
with me? We could talk to them together. Maybe

00:44:17.710 --> 00:44:20.590
you could explain... I don't know who you are.

00:44:20.610 --> 00:44:23.409
Who are you? Are you important? If you're important,

00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:26.590
they might listen to you. Serapio might listen

00:44:26.590 --> 00:44:31.570
to you. What was that name? Serapio. So now I'm

00:44:31.570 --> 00:44:34.510
trying to decide if... Crispin thinks it would

00:44:34.510 --> 00:44:38.809
be better to gather more information here from

00:44:38.809 --> 00:44:42.829
the head of this house or leave with Ramin and

00:44:42.829 --> 00:44:47.409
go to Rosa's house. Yeah, here's the weird part,

00:44:47.449 --> 00:44:51.349
is that Dresden's mind is trying to get with

00:44:51.349 --> 00:44:54.349
Jules and save Jules. Right. But it's also now

00:44:54.349 --> 00:44:56.530
tied in with information gathering for Sholay.

00:44:56.929 --> 00:45:00.210
Right. If it helps, I will touch on one thing.

00:45:00.489 --> 00:45:02.750
You know that one of the avenues for exploration?

00:45:03.389 --> 00:45:05.230
for investigation from Sholay is the bounty.

00:45:05.909 --> 00:45:08.650
And if anyone knows about a bounty, it's Rosas.

00:45:09.150 --> 00:45:11.030
You rolled a nat 20, you know that they're criminal

00:45:11.030 --> 00:45:14.110
kingpins. Okay. They would handle all that sort

00:45:14.110 --> 00:45:17.550
of dark work. Well, Dresden, if they're not here,

00:45:17.670 --> 00:45:21.909
we gotta go somewhere else to check. And now

00:45:21.909 --> 00:45:27.809
you can get us in to Rosas safely? He just kind

00:45:27.809 --> 00:45:30.349
of smiles. That doesn't sound too confident.

00:45:31.110 --> 00:45:34.360
Serapio isn't, um... Fond of me. For reasons.

00:45:34.860 --> 00:45:38.840
Um, but I'll give you a reason to get in. I was

00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:42.179
actually more hoping you'd get me in. Well, that

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:44.719
doesn't really inspire confidence now, does it?

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.940
May I ask your names? Um, quick question before

00:45:47.940 --> 00:45:53.460
you ask our names. Sure. Crispin is sitting at

00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:57.059
33 out of 43 HP. It's been so long, I don't remember

00:45:57.059 --> 00:45:59.260
if I'm supposed to be full or not. You took a

00:45:59.260 --> 00:46:01.159
short rest, but that wouldn't have filled you.

00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:03.719
So no, you're actually still there. Holy mackerel.

00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.900
Oh, shit. No good. No good. And I wasted a spell

00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:10.000
to get here. So excellent. Another question,

00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:15.039
too. Given his relationship with the family,

00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:18.320
what would he know about their connection to...

00:46:19.509 --> 00:46:23.929
Sansatian and Serenno, apart from the fact that

00:46:23.929 --> 00:46:27.190
all that he heard through the stone was that

00:46:27.190 --> 00:46:31.349
it was a success and Jules was infected. I don't

00:46:31.349 --> 00:46:34.329
think you would know much. She only touched on

00:46:34.329 --> 00:46:36.170
the fact that she believes that Serenno itself

00:46:36.170 --> 00:46:40.650
is somehow, like, weaponized by the LaRoche family

00:46:40.650 --> 00:46:42.650
and by the Tressina who may be working with them.

00:46:42.889 --> 00:46:45.780
I think you'd have the similar... I mean, you'd

00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:48.760
know that they are controlling Serenno. Right.

00:46:49.380 --> 00:46:51.599
Okay. I guess maybe you wouldn't necessarily

00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:56.159
know why. Sure. As you look over the sea of just

00:46:56.159 --> 00:47:00.099
sick, sick people of all ages, of all races.

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:03.860
Okay. That's kind of about where I thought he

00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:08.679
would land on that. Back to names. Does Crispin

00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.719
recognize Ramin, or does Ramin recognize Crispin?

00:47:12.449 --> 00:47:15.530
He doesn't seem to recognize you when you first

00:47:15.530 --> 00:47:17.110
step forward. Ouch. I think you're one of the

00:47:17.110 --> 00:47:19.150
lesser known luminaries because you don't put

00:47:19.150 --> 00:47:21.289
yourself in the spotlight. Right, right, right.

00:47:21.769 --> 00:47:25.309
I'm not chasing clout. I'm just asking questions.

00:47:26.769 --> 00:47:28.469
Do you think you'd recognize him? There's some

00:47:28.469 --> 00:47:31.030
stories of him. I mean, you heard his name. You

00:47:31.030 --> 00:47:33.269
could roll a check on it. Sure, yeah. Let's let

00:47:33.269 --> 00:47:35.829
the dice decide. History or religion? It's a

00:47:35.829 --> 00:47:40.449
plus zero either way, so let's see. Oh. That

00:47:40.449 --> 00:47:43.369
is a natural one. Okay. You have no idea. Okay.

00:47:43.849 --> 00:47:46.469
Then he'll just introduce himself. Reach his

00:47:46.469 --> 00:47:51.530
little hand out. Crispin Dubois. You have changed

00:47:51.530 --> 00:47:54.269
from a horse now, right? Yeah. Here's a hoof

00:47:54.269 --> 00:47:57.449
out. Who's your horse friend? Horses can't talk.

00:47:58.389 --> 00:48:01.429
Silly Jeremy. He very vigorously takes your hand,

00:48:01.489 --> 00:48:05.789
just shakes it. He's very excited. I'm Ramin

00:48:05.789 --> 00:48:07.449
Rasool. I might have said it already. I'm Ramin

00:48:07.449 --> 00:48:10.269
Rasool. And you, friend of Jules, what's your

00:48:10.269 --> 00:48:13.579
name? Dresden. Dresden, it's good to meet you.

00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.739
Any friend of Jules is a friend of mine. Dresden

00:48:16.739 --> 00:48:22.360
looks deep into his eyes and says, Same. I was

00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.219
about to leave now, if you would like to join

00:48:25.219 --> 00:48:29.559
me. We'll follow you. On the way, I can regale

00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:31.920
you with the tales of my time meeting Jules and

00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:35.920
Sepulon. It was quite a story. Yeah, please do.

00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:37.960
I'm looking forward to hearing what he's been

00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.980
up to. It's been a little while. Hell yeah. If

00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:44.639
it's cool with you guys, he moves towards the

00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:49.619
door and steps out back into the old city. We

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:52.480
walking. Pushing through the crowds, pushing

00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.820
through the streets, almost down to the other

00:48:54.820 --> 00:48:58.920
side, where once again, at the very foot of the

00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.360
great hill that shall not be named, you see an

00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:06.059
estate that's actually very well built. Still

00:49:06.059 --> 00:49:09.500
in great shape with lush rose gardens just covering

00:49:09.500 --> 00:49:13.639
the front leading up to it. You see a gate that

00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:18.440
says Rosas. Ramin moves up towards the front

00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:21.340
where you see the same gigantic mustached guard

00:49:21.340 --> 00:49:24.639
is just staying there. He sees Ramin, his eyes

00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:30.559
narrow, just like, You again. Do you have them?

00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:36.219
But he stops as he catches you. Crispin, his

00:49:36.219 --> 00:49:41.059
eyes fall on you. Oh, shit. And they widen. Luminary.

00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.139
We've been looking for a luminary. Oh, that's

00:49:45.139 --> 00:49:46.739
not what I was expecting. I was like, shit, how

00:49:46.739 --> 00:49:49.260
am I going to get out of this one? Same. He just

00:49:49.260 --> 00:49:51.739
kind of stares for a second. Do you have business

00:49:51.739 --> 00:49:59.260
with Serapio, Mr. Dubois? Yes. We do have some

00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:04.570
business with Serapio. We, uh... Looking for

00:50:04.570 --> 00:50:08.869
some friends. Well, it so happens Serapio is

00:50:08.869 --> 00:50:11.489
looking for a luminary. If you would not mind

00:50:11.489 --> 00:50:15.650
waiting. He rises late, but he should meet with

00:50:15.650 --> 00:50:18.650
you around 10. Ooh, does he rise late because

00:50:18.650 --> 00:50:21.349
he has Serenno? Or, well, 10's not that late.

00:50:21.730 --> 00:50:25.630
You rise later than 10. I mean, 10 is like sleeping

00:50:25.630 --> 00:50:28.050
all day for me. Yeah, I can't sleep till 10.

00:50:28.070 --> 00:50:31.980
That's half the day gone. Um, hmm. Interesting

00:50:31.980 --> 00:50:34.059
character trait, I suppose, but probably not

00:50:34.059 --> 00:50:39.860
Serenno, right? Yes, we'll wait. All right. I

00:50:39.860 --> 00:50:43.039
think he basically gestures you to come inside.

00:50:43.179 --> 00:50:46.360
Like, you may wait inside. There's a comfortable

00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:50.519
lounging room. I guess, yeah. They walk into

00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:54.260
the lounging room. Sounds sweet to me. Just like

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:56.460
with Zebulon and Jules, he nods to a female guard

00:50:56.460 --> 00:51:00.320
at the gate. sleek black hair she nods back gestures

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:04.840
leads you up the stone steps past the rose gardens

00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:08.639
into the manor itself and you find yourself sitting

00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:11.280
at a uh you know pretty soon after just sitting

00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:14.099
in a sort of comfortable lounging area there's

00:51:14.099 --> 00:51:16.480
sort of a main doorway just beyond maybe you've

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:18.579
moved through like a sort of main entrance hall

00:51:18.579 --> 00:51:20.760
into some side room and beyond that is like an

00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.320
office that you know that sarapia will come to

00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.739
meet you in soon enough At 10 o 'clock. At 10

00:51:27.739 --> 00:51:29.780
o 'clock. After 10 o 'clock. After 10 o 'clock.

00:51:30.900 --> 00:51:33.800
Currently, it is probably about, maybe even moving

00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:35.440
around the city for a bit, so like 8, 30, 9 o

00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:37.099
'clock. Oh my goodness, we're just going to sit

00:51:37.099 --> 00:51:38.659
in this room and wait for this guy for over an

00:51:38.659 --> 00:51:44.280
hour? Hey, it's a lead. Yeah, I don't know about

00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:46.239
Crispin, but Dresden is used to standing in one

00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.539
spot, staying quiet. So, this is just nothing

00:51:49.539 --> 00:51:53.199
to him. He's doing what he's got to do. He'll

00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:58.679
wait. You. Wait. Time passes. Ramin continues

00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:01.239
to regale you with all the stories of jewels,

00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:03.239
probably repeating them a few times because it

00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:05.400
really wasn't that much. It made it look like

00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:11.019
a day. And then he used Tasha's hideous laughter.

00:52:11.179 --> 00:52:13.880
I could not believe. I think Danza's still pissed.

00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:18.179
Just going on and on. And finally, there's a

00:52:18.179 --> 00:52:21.380
time where the door they give to this lounging

00:52:21.380 --> 00:52:24.619
area opens. A guard steps in. He will see you

00:52:24.619 --> 00:52:29.099
now. Come. All right, yeah. Crispin rises wordlessly

00:52:29.099 --> 00:52:34.000
and follows. Same. You guys are pushing through,

00:52:34.099 --> 00:52:38.380
and they cross the side entrance hall. Door opens,

00:52:38.539 --> 00:52:42.000
and you find yourselves moving into a small office

00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:46.179
space. Surprisingly utilitarian. Very nice lavish

00:52:46.179 --> 00:52:48.159
desk, very nice chair behind it, but really nothing

00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:51.800
else of note in this room. And you see a man

00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:56.760
sitting in the chair. You see he is a tan -skinned

00:52:56.760 --> 00:53:00.219
man with sharp, handsome features. Only the small

00:53:00.219 --> 00:53:02.260
horns protruding from his head reveal that he

00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:05.820
is part tiefling. He has a thin and finely waxed

00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:08.619
mustache that decorates his upper lip and jet

00:53:08.619 --> 00:53:12.099
black hair that is slicked back. You see he's

00:53:12.099 --> 00:53:13.760
wearing a loose white shirt, the neck of which

00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:16.659
hangs down, revealing far too much of an oiled,

00:53:16.659 --> 00:53:19.920
shaved chest. Jesus Christ. You see boots and

00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.659
gloves, black. leather just shimmering and squeaking

00:53:23.659 --> 00:53:25.679
with each of his movements. And as you enter

00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:27.480
this room, as you see this man, I think the strong

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.000
smell of roses kind of just punches you. I'm

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:37.099
picturing like Zorro. Oh, man, that's good. You

00:53:37.099 --> 00:53:41.679
step inside and he looks up at you from the desk.

00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:45.239
You see he looks like a man who just woke up,

00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:47.320
basically. Despite his almost perfect appearance,

00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:50.900
his eyes are still kind of... like he's just

00:53:50.900 --> 00:53:53.519
kind of coming into the day with a little yawn.

00:53:55.099 --> 00:53:59.659
Greetings. I am Serapio, Lord of Rosas, and the

00:53:59.659 --> 00:54:02.860
man to know here in Los Capelanes. I know you,

00:54:03.019 --> 00:54:07.360
a luminary, a fierce fighter, despite your stature.

00:54:08.099 --> 00:54:12.639
Good, good. And he looks back on Armin. You're

00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:15.599
here for the medicine, yes, the helix cactus

00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:19.210
petals. And Ramin's, yes, I've brought friends,

00:54:19.429 --> 00:54:22.690
and we still can't pay, but I promise we can

00:54:22.690 --> 00:54:24.969
work the money up. No, no, of course. Go, go.

00:54:25.389 --> 00:54:28.190
My associates will see that you are paid. And

00:54:28.190 --> 00:54:32.869
he, ah, um, thank you. And he looks at you guys.

00:54:32.929 --> 00:54:37.369
I have to get this, too. Are you okay? Um, you

00:54:37.369 --> 00:54:40.550
know, maybe it's a little meta, but I'd like

00:54:40.550 --> 00:54:46.750
to roll insight. Sure. On Zoro here. His name

00:54:46.750 --> 00:54:52.230
is officially now Zorro. Uh, just a 15. Uh, seems

00:54:52.230 --> 00:54:55.510
like he's telling the truth. Okay. And, uh, yeah,

00:54:55.530 --> 00:54:57.590
Ramin just kind of excitedly looks to you. It's

00:54:57.590 --> 00:54:59.150
okay, if I bring this back, I need to make sure

00:54:59.150 --> 00:55:01.489
people are sleeping as soon as I can. I could

00:55:01.489 --> 00:55:05.110
save lives. Thank you, Ramin. We, uh, we're fine.

00:55:05.590 --> 00:55:08.269
Yeah. Go help those people. Thank you. Thank

00:55:08.269 --> 00:55:10.090
you so much. Please, come to Monano when you're

00:55:10.090 --> 00:55:12.309
done. I, I, I, I have to thank you in person.

00:55:12.389 --> 00:55:14.820
I, I, I have to do something for you. He just

00:55:14.820 --> 00:55:16.960
kind of stumbles out. I think there's some people

00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:18.099
that open the door, and they're kind of waving

00:55:18.099 --> 00:55:20.599
him impatiently, and he rushes off with them,

00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:24.820
and the door closes. Crispin spins on his heel.

00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:29.940
I understand your need of a luminary. Perhaps

00:55:29.940 --> 00:55:34.639
I can be of assistance. Perhaps you can. But

00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:39.159
we actually fade to black on this scene, because

00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:43.639
we're going to follow Ramin out the door. into

00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:47.179
the hallway as he's moving, you know, moving

00:55:47.179 --> 00:55:49.699
him towards the sort of main doorway through

00:55:49.699 --> 00:55:52.059
the entrance hall. And he's, ah, thank you so

00:55:52.059 --> 00:55:53.780
much for this. It really, it means the world.

00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:57.280
I, I, I knew Serapi would come around. I knew

00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:58.659
he would. He'd understand how important it is

00:55:58.659 --> 00:56:00.420
to, wait, what did you? And they kind of grab

00:56:00.420 --> 00:56:03.000
him by the shirt. No, no, wait, no, no, please,

00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:06.320
no. And burst open the door, throw him out onto

00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:09.119
the steps where he rolls down, cracks his head

00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:13.170
on it. And. You just hear like vaguely Feyreff

00:56:13.170 --> 00:56:15.989
behind him just like, do not come back without

00:56:15.989 --> 00:56:19.610
the money. Ezra means eyes begin to focus blurred

00:56:19.610 --> 00:56:23.510
on two figures standing before him on the steps.

00:56:24.190 --> 00:56:28.510
Zebulon? Zebulon? Jules? What are you doing here?

00:56:28.670 --> 00:56:32.050
As he cracks this great pearly white grin and

00:56:32.050 --> 00:56:38.949
the timeline is restored. Huzzah. And with that.

00:56:39.309 --> 00:56:41.150
Zebulon and Jules, what are you doing here? No,

00:56:41.150 --> 00:56:43.449
I expected a, and we'll call it there. Yeah,

00:56:43.449 --> 00:56:46.030
same. Oh, no, no, no. I've got a better ending

00:56:46.030 --> 00:56:48.829
for that. End two episodes, the same exact lines.

00:56:49.989 --> 00:56:54.110
I know. Oh, my God. Oh, I'd be a devil. I was

00:56:54.110 --> 00:56:55.969
going to say, did you go back and listen to the

00:56:55.969 --> 00:56:58.130
ending of that just before we started this session

00:56:58.130 --> 00:56:59.849
so that you could get those lines exactly right?

00:57:00.010 --> 00:57:01.510
Oh, no, I remember them. I knew it had to come.

00:57:01.630 --> 00:57:05.289
I had a feeling this was going to happen. I mean,

00:57:05.309 --> 00:57:09.170
what the hell are you doing here? Oh, hey, God,

00:57:09.230 --> 00:57:12.510
I can't remember. He sort of starts to climb

00:57:12.510 --> 00:57:16.329
his feet. Helps him up, yeah. Jeez, are you all

00:57:16.329 --> 00:57:22.269
right? Oh, my God. Hey, hey, wait, hey. You were

00:57:22.269 --> 00:57:23.909
supposed to help me. You can't turn us back to

00:57:23.909 --> 00:57:27.630
the other guys. Those guys are really rude. We

00:57:27.630 --> 00:57:42.619
came here? I don't know what was so fucking hilarious

00:57:42.619 --> 00:57:53.019
about that. I don't either. All right. Sorry.

00:57:53.300 --> 00:57:58.599
Just, like, mushed my brain. As Arzormeed's kind

00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:00.079
of, like, turning to them, yelling, I think the

00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:03.119
female guard with you just kind of impatiently

00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:07.119
nods. Serapio is waiting. He will see you now.

00:58:08.130 --> 00:58:13.670
You wanted an opportunity, yes? Well, yeah, but

00:58:13.670 --> 00:58:18.070
I mean... Ramin, what's going on here? I... wait.

00:58:18.530 --> 00:58:22.570
You guys have... Can you get me in there again?

00:58:22.630 --> 00:58:26.230
I want to speak to Serapio again. Zebulon looks

00:58:26.230 --> 00:58:31.130
to the guard. She kind of pinches her nose. Fine,

00:58:31.349 --> 00:58:33.969
yes. Serapio does not explain himself twice.

00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:36.340
And right now he's already meeting with the luminary,

00:58:36.380 --> 00:58:40.539
so you must go now if you want any chance. All

00:58:40.539 --> 00:58:43.039
right, and Zeb grabs Ramin by the arm and...

00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:47.239
Oh, thank you, Zebulon, thank you. As you lead

00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:51.619
him into the room. You guys move through the

00:58:51.619 --> 00:58:53.400
entrance hall once again. Holding Ramin, she

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.579
gestures you forth towards a door, which she

00:58:56.579 --> 00:59:01.139
knocks at. Ah, it's good. Just a moment, my friends.

00:59:01.539 --> 00:59:05.340
We have more guests joining us. Come in. The

00:59:05.340 --> 00:59:10.900
door creaks open. And Dresden, Kellig, Jules

00:59:10.900 --> 00:59:15.340
LaRoche, Crispin Dubois, and Zebulon Black all

00:59:15.340 --> 00:59:20.079
step into the same office. What does this look

00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:31.760
like? I mean. Oh, don't worry. Don't worry. I

00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:36.760
got something better. I always am better. You

00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:40.500
should like stutter start that in the episode.

00:59:40.739 --> 00:59:42.460
And we'll call it there. That's what you're supposed

00:59:42.460 --> 00:59:45.039
to say after you do that. Oh, no, no, don't worry.

00:59:45.179 --> 00:59:52.860
Holy shit. Okay, yes, continue. Crispin is obviously

00:59:52.860 --> 00:59:57.219
very surprised, but he tries not to show his

00:59:57.219 --> 01:00:01.940
surprise. Dresden immediately runs over to Jules

01:00:01.940 --> 01:00:04.090
and gives him a hug. They'll love this. It's

01:00:04.090 --> 01:00:05.949
like finally my revenge for everything you put

01:00:05.949 --> 01:00:08.690
me through. Fuck off. Talk to your own character.

01:00:08.809 --> 01:00:11.789
I mean, I love it, though. It's awesome. I mean,

01:00:11.789 --> 01:00:13.969
there's this moment, I think, where you're like,

01:00:13.989 --> 01:00:16.630
maybe it's silence. Ebulon's kind of like, I

01:00:16.630 --> 01:00:19.090
mean, Ebulon, you might know who Christmas is.

01:00:19.090 --> 01:00:21.190
You saw him once. We'll call it right now. It's

01:00:21.190 --> 01:00:24.269
a silent hug. Neither of them are talking. Honestly,

01:00:24.369 --> 01:00:27.469
I like it. That's it. That's it. And the thing

01:00:27.469 --> 01:00:30.039
is, Jules and... Jules and Dresden have always

01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:32.440
had this relationship built on silence and hand

01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:35.500
signals. I kind of imagine they don't need to

01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:37.800
have that. Okay, how about we have this long

01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:40.900
embrace, and then Dresden pulls away and just

01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:45.480
looks at Jules and says, You good? Yeah. Yeah,

01:00:45.539 --> 01:00:49.239
I'm good. I'm good. I think you hear from the

01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.500
front of the room, or from the desk, just like,

01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:56.000
So, you know each other. This might make it easier

01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.650
for me. Teamwork. would be helpful in what's

01:00:58.650 --> 01:01:01.610
coming. Please, if you don't mind taking a moment

01:01:01.610 --> 01:01:05.010
and hearing me out, I... And he's cut off again.

01:01:05.610 --> 01:01:08.309
As you hear the sounds of pounding feet moving

01:01:08.309 --> 01:01:12.829
through the main hall, the door bursts open again.

01:01:13.130 --> 01:01:15.570
And you see that same thick mustache man just

01:01:15.570 --> 01:01:18.849
looks around, just like... He points towards

01:01:18.849 --> 01:01:23.630
Jules, eyes wide, just like, Jules Roche. Yes.

01:01:24.489 --> 01:01:26.610
Who's asking? And maybe he sees the figure right

01:01:26.610 --> 01:01:29.329
next to you and says, Do you happen to be Dresden

01:01:29.329 --> 01:01:33.090
Kellig? Who's asking? And Sorbus stands up just

01:01:33.090 --> 01:01:36.650
like, what is this? How dare you interfere? And

01:01:36.650 --> 01:01:39.489
the guard says, please, please, Sabio. There's

01:01:39.489 --> 01:01:42.710
been an incident in Nusarul. And we're going

01:01:42.710 --> 01:01:45.670
to cut away from the scene. Did he just say Nusarul?

01:01:46.050 --> 01:01:49.030
We're going to cut away. He just said Nusarul.

01:01:49.170 --> 01:01:52.269
He said Nusarul. We cut to black on that note.

01:01:52.789 --> 01:01:55.889
And we just hear the sounds of people screaming.

01:01:58.140 --> 01:02:01.260
running, trampling on cobbles and through dirt

01:02:01.260 --> 01:02:07.860
as we open up on the courtyard, the sort of stone

01:02:07.860 --> 01:02:12.119
slab courtyard of an old looking manor, smaller

01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:15.019
than those around. I think as we kind of like

01:02:15.019 --> 01:02:17.639
zoom out, we can see this is sort of on the outskirts

01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:20.679
of the Moreno estate. We can see that large tower

01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:24.809
of the sort of church state farther off. We're

01:02:24.809 --> 01:02:26.510
not focused on that. No, no, no. We're focused

01:02:26.510 --> 01:02:30.989
here on this smaller manor. Focused on the crumbling

01:02:30.989 --> 01:02:33.670
masonry, the people running, running into the,

01:02:33.710 --> 01:02:35.630
you know, inside this building, slamming doors,

01:02:35.750 --> 01:02:39.489
running off into the crowds around. We're focused

01:02:39.489 --> 01:02:41.610
on the face of a man staying there in the middle

01:02:41.610 --> 01:02:46.409
of this courtyard. An old man, eyes wide, one

01:02:46.409 --> 01:02:49.809
arm missing from the elbow. We see Grindy just

01:02:49.809 --> 01:02:52.889
holding up his hand in front of some figure above

01:02:52.889 --> 01:02:56.110
and just... Please, please, please. And we see

01:02:56.110 --> 01:03:03.570
a blade drawn. We see Jessenth Kellig. We see

01:03:03.570 --> 01:03:08.610
his retinue around him. New cerule, huh? How

01:03:08.610 --> 01:03:12.050
fitting a place for this to finally end. I'm

01:03:12.050 --> 01:03:16.010
done chasing them. In a city like this, I know,

01:03:16.150 --> 01:03:19.010
I know I'll never find them, but I don't need

01:03:19.010 --> 01:03:23.829
to find them. Not since I found you all. Now

01:03:23.829 --> 01:03:27.210
they come to me. You aren't surreal citizens

01:03:27.210 --> 01:03:31.610
anymore. The people on that hill, they care even

01:03:31.610 --> 01:03:34.389
less about your faith than your prior masters.

01:03:35.289 --> 01:03:37.750
He turns around to his men who've grabbed a number

01:03:37.750 --> 01:03:41.369
of people. Round up whoever you can. Bind them

01:03:41.369 --> 01:03:44.389
and bring them inside. And then he turns away

01:03:44.389 --> 01:03:46.750
from them, away from Grindy, towards the sky

01:03:46.750 --> 01:03:51.369
itself, screaming to no one. I start the killing

01:03:51.369 --> 01:03:55.739
in an hour. You want to stop me? Bring me Jules

01:03:55.739 --> 01:03:59.139
LaRoche. Bring me Dresden Kellig. Bring them,

01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.420
unarmed and ready to die at my hand. Or else

01:04:03.420 --> 01:04:07.280
I'm painting this manor red. And we'll call it

01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:07.539
there.
