Now, 00:01:57.629 --> 00:02:00.489 the 85 aren't out in the open market yet, but 00:02:00.489 --> 00:02:03.150 they will be soon.

It's going to 00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:17.680 be awesome. I am in a room with the only two 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.439 guys that I know who will play video games on 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.259 vacation. Oh, yeah.

I 00:04:07.169 --> 00:04:08.990 warned you. I warned you it was going to be stupid. 00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:13.229 My voice is destroyed. My mind is frozen. We 00:04:13.229 --> 00:04:16.550 have too many flashbacks. I've heard a bunch. 00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:21.069 I've heard a boatload of fucking ponytail insults 00:04:21.069 --> 00:04:23.990 from you. Dude, they've like ramped up hard the 00:04:23.990 --> 00:04:26.209 last week. I don't know if I've heard suck on 00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:32.610 your ponytail before. Put on a t -shirt. Oh, 00:04:32.610 --> 00:04:35.410 man. Speaking of stupid. God, that's so funny. 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:37.509 Here we are with a transition. Speaking of stupid. 00:04:37.930 --> 00:04:41.209 Great transition. Yeah, thank you. All right. 00:04:41.449 --> 00:04:44.069 I have an announcement to make. It's very exciting 00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:46.250 for everyone here. Oh. Very, very exciting stuff. 00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:48.529 It's time to put to bed something that we started 00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:50.490 a long time ago. That's what the banter was. 00:04:50.610 --> 00:04:52.589 Yeah, exactly. He's the one who keeps saying, 00:04:52.649 --> 00:04:53.670 we're going to put it to bed. We're going to 00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:54.569 put it to bed. We're going to put it to bed. 00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:55.829 And then he keeps bringing it up. All right. 00:04:56.069 --> 00:04:59.470 Let's put this to bed. Tuck us in, David. I have 00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:02.779 started watching. A little TV show called Letterkenny. 00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:07.480 What? Applause, applause, applause. What? Where's 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.639 the applause button? I love you, David. All right. 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:11.540 I started watching a little TV show called Letterkenny. 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.100 I've gotten about five episodes in, which means 00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:18.040 I am now able to make a full, unbiased review 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.600 of the entire show, my opinion, and so it is 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.259 gospel and law, about how good the show is. Yeah, 00:05:25.259 --> 00:05:27.720 here we go. So here we are. We have friends. 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:29.920 A couple of friends. Jeremy, if you've been watching 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.740 Friends, is your review coming? You didn't even 00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:34.240 let me. You didn't even let me announce that. 00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:37.139 Fuck, you're right. God damn. You're right. Well, 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:40.459 okay. Yeah, listeners, this all started because. 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:44.420 It's fair. It's fair. Because one evening I was 00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:49.180 like, bored. And I said, okay, I'm going to give 00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:54.060 Friends three seasons. Are we not? Okay, we're 00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:57.569 not doing that? I mean, you can do that. I'm 00:05:57.569 --> 00:06:02.170 not doing that. For friends, come on. Damn it. 00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:03.870 Do you want me to go slide whistle? Okay, so 00:06:03.870 --> 00:06:07.350 I'm still in season one. I have no review yet. 00:06:07.410 --> 00:06:09.910 So this is not put to bed tonight. Okay. Your 00:06:09.910 --> 00:06:12.410 portion can be put to bed tonight. I am the only 00:06:12.410 --> 00:06:15.709 one who has seen all of both shows. Put a ponytail 00:06:15.709 --> 00:06:19.209 in it. All right. So continue. Continue, and 00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:21.879 then I will do my part. Whenever I finish three 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.420 seasons. Okay. Brace yourselves. Here it comes. 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.240 So next year, guys. I mean, you've seen more 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.420 than five episodes, though. Yes. You made the 00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:29.899 commitment to watch three seasons. She's seen 00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:32.000 five episodes. I've seen enough. I also recognize 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.079 that for any TV show, any TV show, you need to 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.439 give it that time for proper character development 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.699 to really get the show. So I'm allotting it that 00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:48.180 time. You allot five episodes. Fuck that. Hey. 00:06:48.649 --> 00:06:50.550 All I'm saying is our first five episodes on 00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.769 this show, we were incredible. Oh, yeah. It was 00:06:53.769 --> 00:06:56.269 great. Yeah, don't skip those. Yeah. We were 00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:58.910 so good, we have not developed at all. Not even 00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:03.529 a bit. Don't listen back. So, here it is. Letterkenny. 00:07:03.870 --> 00:07:06.550 Full review. Right here, right now. Open your 00:07:06.550 --> 00:07:11.829 ear holes. Because Letterkenny is good. But it 00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:17.470 simply is not better than a goofy movie. Oh, 00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:19.259 my. Fucking God, he threw us a curveball. But 00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:21.779 it is better than an extremely goofy movie. So 00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:24.800 I don't agree with that. Hey. However. That's 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.420 gospel. No, it's over. However. It's closed. 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.980 A goofy movie is the shit. It's a really good 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:31.639 movie. I've only ever seen the first one and 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.560 I'll never see the second one. I'm assuming you're 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:35.040 going to tell us all about it. Yeah, okay. So 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.399 the goofy movie is really good. I recently watched 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.819 it. I wanted to be Max when I was a kid. Max 00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:41.800 is great. He was the coolest shit. So I watched 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.410 the movie. I'm pulling up my. Stopwatch. I'm 00:07:44.410 --> 00:07:46.569 pulling up my stopwatch. Give me one minute. 00:07:47.129 --> 00:07:49.129 Why is this happening? Give me one minute. This 00:07:49.129 --> 00:07:51.790 is what we do. You do movies. I do the stopwatch. 00:07:51.930 --> 00:07:54.089 Boom. Go. All right. So the goof movie is really 00:07:54.089 --> 00:07:56.689 cool because it actually follows in all the major 00:07:56.689 --> 00:07:59.170 steps of a true musical. I actually watched a 00:07:59.170 --> 00:08:02.110 YouTuber. Sample is his name. No, not Sample. 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:04.589 Sorry. Sideways. Shit, I got to make sure I remember 00:08:04.589 --> 00:08:07.129 this name. Yeah, good use of time. Damn it. Ah, 00:08:07.129 --> 00:08:09.550 shit. There's a very specific musical structure. 00:08:09.750 --> 00:08:11.329 Really cool. Yeah, the musical structure, it 00:08:11.329 --> 00:08:12.649 actually follows in terms of a major musical 00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:14.589 like any other Disney movie does, which is really 00:08:14.589 --> 00:08:16.490 cool. You have the first song, which is the I 00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:18.910 Want song, plus like the sort of broad, you know, 00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:20.930 everyone gets in, introduces the world, introduces 00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:23.329 Max and what Max wants. Here's the curveball, 00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:26.069 though. Goofy gets a song later on, on the open 00:08:26.069 --> 00:08:28.029 row, where he's taking Max on a vacation on the 00:08:28.029 --> 00:08:29.430 open row, which is pulling Max away from his 00:08:29.430 --> 00:08:32.330 wants. And the song is, it's actually the villain 00:08:32.330 --> 00:08:35.370 song, because Goofy is the villain of a Goofy 00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:37.610 movie. And only when they actually come together 00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:39.870 and sing their ballad towards the end is villain 00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:42.669 Goofy defeated, because true understanding is 00:08:42.669 --> 00:08:45.230 made between Max and Goofy. It's actually beautiful. 00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:46.929 When you go and watch the movie, and you actually 00:08:46.929 --> 00:08:49.090 follow these beats, and you look for these beats, 00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:51.649 it's really, really, really, really fucking cool. 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.360 That's it. See? Under a minute. You actually 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.980 got it in just under a minute. Yeah, because 00:08:56.980 --> 00:09:01.580 I'm amazing. I did not expect that. It takes 00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:03.399 a really high IQ to understand it. David, just 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.539 for that. Just for that. Take this button. I 00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:08.919 thought you were going to say, look at this button. 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.220 No, I'm not going to use my button. I would love 00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:15.360 a button. Going into the finale of this arc soon, 00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:17.779 and I would love a button. You still got a few 00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:19.820 in there. Those are our butts. No, for me to 00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:21.620 use against you. I know, I know. Do you want 00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:23.500 me to do... I will pull that shit out. Oh, my 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:31.019 gosh. Oh, it's fun. Good banter, guys. I had 00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:34.299 fun. I was honestly hoping that we would talk 00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:35.740 a little bit more about Letter Kenny and a little 00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.039 bit less about Goofy Movie, but... Oh, shit. 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.840 Did you expect that? No, it's okay. You know 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.679 what? No, he wanted to put it to bed, so he put 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.960 it to bed. I put it to bed. All right, well, 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.779 you can wake it up. if you want to talk about 00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:49.720 it after you've seen more of the show. Are you 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.100 going to watch more of the show? It's legitimately 00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.580 good. I really like it a lot. It's very fun. 00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:54.220 It's very fun. That's great. Well, I'll be happy 00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:55.500 to hear your thoughts maybe once you've seen 00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:56.980 it. It's a different kind of humor than Friends. 00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:59.100 Friends is very comfortable humor where Letterkenny 00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:00.980 is actually like, in all honesty, you can't compare 00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:02.960 the two. Friends is comfort humor. Letterkenny 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.470 is work. It's work to keep up with Letterkenny's 00:10:05.470 --> 00:10:07.009 humor. It's like watching Community, but even 00:10:07.009 --> 00:10:08.909 harder. Right. You're not going to be like doing 00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:11.429 chores, you know, doing the dishes or cooking 00:10:11.429 --> 00:10:13.049 while you're watching Letterkenny. You carry 00:10:13.049 --> 00:10:14.769 jokes in a scene and you're going to miss all 00:10:14.769 --> 00:10:16.710 of them because the accents are very heavy. Yeah. 00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:19.610 The talking's very fast. It's like me talking, 00:10:19.769 --> 00:10:22.570 but with an accent. It's terrible. It's like 00:10:22.570 --> 00:10:27.629 dance talking. It's terrible. So, yeah. Dance 00:10:27.629 --> 00:10:30.990 isn't in this episode. Dance isn't in this episode, 00:10:31.049 --> 00:10:32.850 though. Because, thank you, Steven, for taking 00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:36.009 that. That's a good one. Hey, Jerry, cut Steven 00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:39.409 out. Oh, that's a good one, though, because we're 00:10:39.409 --> 00:10:45.389 back in San... Dad, you can't silence me! Because 00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:50.309 we're back in San Sebastian City. Back beneath... 00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:55.309 What the fuck was the... Salazar. Salazar, yeah. 00:10:55.509 --> 00:11:00.049 I was waiting to see if you'd get... Back beneath 00:11:00.049 --> 00:11:03.220 Salazar. You've just gotten a message from Crispin. 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.179 You're all getting ready for this next day. Four 00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:07.379 o 'clock, supposed to meet the Pigman. Oh, wait. 00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:09.220 I guess you're late to meet the Pigman, because 00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:10.440 I just realized that you did this message a little 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.580 later on in the day. Oh, come on. I said Pigman 00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:13.679 was meeting at four. It was four o 'clock there. 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.600 Oh, no, the time stream. The time stream. You're 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.960 on your way. You're almost to the Pigman now. 00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:19.700 So let's... We're standing at the door, about 00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:22.759 to knock on the door. That means we have to kill 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.259 the Pigman's brother. That sounds canon. God, 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.669 the time stream. All right, so... We're not going 00:11:31.669 --> 00:11:33.730 to open up on the scene we ended off on last 00:11:33.730 --> 00:11:35.750 time, because I like to be very confusing and 00:11:35.750 --> 00:11:39.269 obtuse. Let's rewind back to Salazar before you 00:11:39.269 --> 00:11:40.549 left, in case there's any last things you want 00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:44.590 to do. We'll cut to the talking on the phone 00:11:44.590 --> 00:11:46.830 when you get there. So during these things that 00:11:46.830 --> 00:11:48.690 we want to do, does that include a long rest? 00:11:49.250 --> 00:11:51.070 You got a long rest following your fight with 00:11:51.070 --> 00:11:53.740 the big man. Oh, yeah. You slept through, like, 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.940 you basically went to sleep around, like, 2 in 00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:57.120 the morning, so 8 hours from that is whatever 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.580 the hell that is. 2 in the morning? Damn, fantasy 00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:03.740 is wild. That would never happen in my real life. 00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:07.159 That's every night for me. 2 in the morning, 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.720 we're about to wake up. So let's open up on Salazar. 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:16.399 We'll say at this point it's, like, 2 .33 o 'clock. 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.440 You're getting ready to leave. Actually, probably 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:18.500 2 o 'clock, because it's going to take you an 00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:21.350 hour to get to the pig man at 4, so... late afternoon, 00:12:21.509 --> 00:12:24.450 early afternoon, whatever, you are preparing. 00:12:25.269 --> 00:12:26.909 If there's anything else you don't, if there's 00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:28.370 anything you want to do that's not like, you 00:12:28.370 --> 00:12:30.789 know, immediately going to be before what's happening, 00:12:30.850 --> 00:12:32.370 if you want to do any preparation outside, you 00:12:32.370 --> 00:12:34.850 know, get anything done, we can sort of retcon 00:12:34.850 --> 00:12:37.690 that in, or you can tell me now. I have a little 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:40.289 idea for this next segment that might help you 00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:42.250 if there's something you realize you would have 00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:44.009 liked to do but didn't get a chance to do it 00:12:44.009 --> 00:12:46.950 now or didn't think to do it now. But we'll touch 00:12:46.950 --> 00:12:49.409 on that next episode when it matters more. Okay. 00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:52.730 For now, you are gathering together, I'm going 00:12:52.730 --> 00:12:55.610 to assume, for one last meeting with Paloma before 00:12:55.610 --> 00:12:58.330 you head out to meet the pig man. And from there, 00:12:58.429 --> 00:13:01.529 journey to Papalotion Hill, to the manor of its 00:13:01.529 --> 00:13:05.009 men Del Prado, to a party of elites from different 00:13:05.009 --> 00:13:08.450 worlds, and to potential answers to many mysteries. 00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:13.950 Blanche is going to realize how impractical high 00:13:13.950 --> 00:13:20.379 heels are and take them off. I told you, sir, 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.000 it's not your look. Paloma was going to only 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.399 borrow them, but it just doesn't work for me. 00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:34.159 That's a shame. Look nice on you. If I had actually 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.000 taken that sip, that would have been a spit tick. 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.659 People are going to be asking who we are and 00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:40.799 why we're there. What are we going to tell them? 00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:45.080 Well, we're the pig man's new retinue. I am, 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:51.049 of course, his sidekick now. I guess? I suppose 00:13:51.049 --> 00:13:54.889 it's true. And, well, I'm a bit of somebody in 00:13:54.889 --> 00:13:57.789 the world. After all, I might be able to help 00:13:57.789 --> 00:14:01.070 us in if there's any trouble. I'm your bodyguard. 00:14:01.830 --> 00:14:07.090 Yes. Yes. I like this. A bodyguard. I do wonder. 00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:10.009 Actually, I don't know. He probably didn't hear 00:14:10.009 --> 00:14:12.769 that Samuel LaRoche knows you and is at this 00:14:12.769 --> 00:14:15.529 party. That was mentioned before in Moreno. Is 00:14:15.529 --> 00:14:16.789 this something that Dresden would have brought 00:14:16.789 --> 00:14:18.980 up to everybody? You might get recognized there. 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.919 That's worth considering. Right. Um, I don't 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.299 think that's something that he would bring up. 00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:28.600 Okay. Do you intend to take any measures against 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.639 being recognized? Yes, yes, I was going to. Okay, 00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:34.659 cool. I haven't decided what yet. Right, sounds 00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:39.340 good. But, yes. Yes, a bodyguard. Yes, I like 00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:43.200 that. Quite good. And Ramin can... Where's Ramin? 00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:46.980 Why is he late? We have to leave soon, and... 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.240 Loma just kind of like looks out at a sort of 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.419 clock and, uh, yes, we should talk before you 00:14:53.419 --> 00:14:57.720 go, but you should all be here. He wasn't with 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.539 me. Where did he go? He was in your room, Dresden, 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.759 last time you would have seen him. You guys shared 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.580 a room here. Right. Did I see him leave? He was 00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:09.019 staying behind when you went out. Right. Still 00:15:09.019 --> 00:15:12.259 engaging prayer. I'll go check on the boy. He's 00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:16.419 probably deep in his prayers. Okay. Uh, you're 00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:19.230 going alone? You stroll down the cavern a short 00:15:19.230 --> 00:15:21.549 ways, take a turn to a side tunnel. You see a 00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:23.370 few doors there where your rooms are, basically, 00:15:23.509 --> 00:15:26.389 and you move up to the door. Yeah, she knocks 00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:30.250 on the... As you reach out, you do hear low murmurs 00:15:30.250 --> 00:15:32.230 from the other side. Very, very hard to make 00:15:32.230 --> 00:15:36.990 out with your passive perception. Ooh, man, that's 00:15:36.990 --> 00:15:40.470 just not Blanche. She's going to... Instead of 00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:44.049 knocking, she'll push the door open. What? Stealthily 00:15:44.049 --> 00:15:49.700 at all, or...? No, not stealthily. I'm sorry. 00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:52.639 Yeah, that's fine. I'm sorry. It's just not what 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.620 she would do. She wouldn't want to. I do like 00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:56.820 this, that you don't knock. So the door is sort 00:15:56.820 --> 00:16:00.700 of, you open the door. You do hear with your 00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:03.960 passive at least some murmuring word. Maybe it's 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.279 prayer. But there's something, I will just say, 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.340 there's something almost musical in the words. 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.470 A little strange. And then as the door opens, 00:16:14.509 --> 00:16:16.909 just like you catch a quick glimpse. What's your 00:16:16.909 --> 00:16:21.929 passive? Passive perception is only 10. Only 00:16:21.929 --> 00:16:27.070 10. Ramin lowers his hands very quickly from 00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:29.549 the bed where they were shaped down in a sort 00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:32.710 of praying motion and slides them into his pocket. 00:16:33.129 --> 00:16:36.230 Yeah, I know it would have been probably cool 00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:38.389 or fun or interesting or good for the show, but. 00:16:38.989 --> 00:16:40.830 It's not Blanche. No, that's it. Dude, that's 00:16:40.830 --> 00:16:43.629 awesome. I love that shit. I love it. I'm sorry. 00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:46.149 I mean, it's... Oh, no, no, no. It's fine. It's 00:16:46.149 --> 00:16:49.470 fine. It's time to go. That was a beautiful prayer. 00:16:50.409 --> 00:16:54.409 Oh, yes. Can you tell me its meaning on the walk? 00:16:55.090 --> 00:16:59.529 Of course. Yes. You heard the words. I take it... 00:16:59.529 --> 00:17:01.909 And he's moving towards the door. I take it you 00:17:01.909 --> 00:17:06.809 have not heard much of Celestial. Uh, no, actually, 00:17:07.009 --> 00:17:14.069 my languages are simply Common and Aquan. He 00:17:14.069 --> 00:17:17.869 looks very... I think Ramin's the kind of guy 00:17:17.869 --> 00:17:19.509 that you share this, like, random information, 00:17:19.890 --> 00:17:22.509 he just gets like, wow! Like, really excited 00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:26.150 about it. Oh, that's... Yes, I have learned some 00:17:26.150 --> 00:17:28.490 celestial in my time and the teachings of the 00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:33.730 Sunweaver. It was a prayer to, well, the Sunweaver, 00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:36.339 to his agents. For guidance and help in what's 00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:39.759 to come. Well, I hope the Sunweaver... I hope 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.539 he grants your prayer. Yes. I have a good feeling. 00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:48.480 And as you and Ramin arrive back in the main 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.660 chamber, where Paloma, Dresden, and Jaune wait, 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:55.339 Paloma sort of steps out ahead and prepares to 00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:57.779 speak to you all. One last debriefing before 00:17:57.779 --> 00:18:02.470 you go in. All right. Do we have a plan? Honestly, 00:18:02.650 --> 00:18:04.049 like I said, I was just throwing seeds out there. 00:18:04.089 --> 00:18:07.750 I didn't think we'd get this far, but hell, we're 00:18:07.750 --> 00:18:11.970 here. Well, the plan will be... Well, I'm honest, 00:18:12.049 --> 00:18:14.509 Paloma. I don't know that we have much of a plan, 00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:18.009 but make our way around the party, talk to who 00:18:18.009 --> 00:18:20.269 we can talk to, see what sort of information 00:18:20.269 --> 00:18:23.390 we can rustle up, and I think the plan will have 00:18:23.390 --> 00:18:26.349 to evolve organically. Right now, we don't know 00:18:26.349 --> 00:18:29.549 what we don't know. And I should say, you'd... 00:18:29.710 --> 00:18:30.970 Actually, at this point, I still don't know about 00:18:30.970 --> 00:18:34.289 the It's Been Sun. You might realize that. But 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:35.710 yeah, you won't know about that for like another 00:18:35.710 --> 00:18:38.130 hour. So at this point, that's going to be new 00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:40.309 information when you get to Pigman's house. Then 00:18:40.309 --> 00:18:42.089 we'll get the sending stone message. Then you'll 00:18:42.089 --> 00:18:44.150 get the message. I need to ask you something, 00:18:44.170 --> 00:18:47.150 though. Yeah. Do you have something that could 00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:52.269 hide this? And Dresden removes his eyepatch to 00:18:52.269 --> 00:18:58.130 reveal a crater. Well, when it comes to makeup. 00:18:58.959 --> 00:19:00.940 No one quite like me, but I don't think I can 00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:03.319 make up that away. Underground revolutionaries 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.420 don't have a disguise kit, perhaps? I could disguise 00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:10.019 some of it, but it's a shame with a face that 00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:18.240 handsome. Skars become you, huh? Wink. Fuck. 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.000 I could probably wear some kind of disguise, 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.039 but, I mean, we're talking a whole eye. I mean, 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.579 it's gonna be hard to cover it. But, what about 00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:27.839 a full helm? If you're going in, you're already 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.980 armored. Won't be weird if you're part of a... 00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:33.119 You have a helm? Underground barracks, bunker. 00:19:33.259 --> 00:19:34.519 Yeah, we have a helm. We have a lot of helms. 00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:36.680 Oh, but you don't have a disguise kit. Not a 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.400 disguise kit, but there is a helmet lying around. 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.119 What disguise kit? DM here, what disguise kit 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.019 is going to cover an entire eye crater? I mean, 00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:44.720 I just figured that, like, I don't know, what 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.660 mechanically can a disguise kit do? I will roll 00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:49.799 a die to see how well this goes. I'm just trying 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.039 to figure out what it's going to look like to, 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.480 like, have a full crater eye be okay looking. 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.470 It's fantasy. I'm looking at a list of... You 00:19:57.470 --> 00:19:59.109 can do whatever you want. Let me look at a list 00:19:59.109 --> 00:20:01.609 of spells here. Actually, yeah, we have a spare 00:20:01.609 --> 00:20:04.309 eye supply. Jesus Christ. Disguise kit in the 00:20:04.309 --> 00:20:09.069 back in case... I'm the asshole. A helmet will 00:20:09.069 --> 00:20:11.309 work just fine. Yeah, that's what I thought. 00:20:11.450 --> 00:20:15.410 Yeah, this one here. You'd think, you know, we'll 00:20:15.410 --> 00:20:17.190 spend two hours doing makeup instead of putting 00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:18.890 a fucking helmet on. I'm going to go read about 00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:25.529 a disguise kit real fast. You read about that. 00:20:25.750 --> 00:20:29.509 Well, I get a helm. Paloma just snaps out. And 00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:33.390 Grindy? Is that the fellow's name? Oh, my God. 00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:35.109 I feel so bad. I forgot his name. Which one? 00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:37.450 The old Grindy? Yes, Grindy. Old Grindy. It's 00:20:37.450 --> 00:20:38.950 Grindy. Grindy, Grindy. Sometimes I feel like 00:20:38.950 --> 00:20:40.529 I have a better memory than you do. Sometimes 00:20:40.529 --> 00:20:42.549 you do. It's very selective. Look, in this episode 00:20:42.549 --> 00:20:44.250 alone, I might have to voice, like, ten people. 00:20:44.549 --> 00:20:48.009 So, Grindy, I didn't even think about him. Ah, 00:20:48.029 --> 00:20:51.569 yes. I will get you that disguise kit. No, Helm. 00:20:51.589 --> 00:20:53.690 That's the one. I'll be right back. Yeah, we 00:20:53.690 --> 00:20:56.660 settled on Helm. That's a very honestly wise 00:20:56.660 --> 00:21:01.980 choice. Read your stupid shit. Disguise kit. 00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:05.279 All right. Come on. This pouch of cosmetics, 00:21:05.579 --> 00:21:10.460 hair dye, small props, fake eyes, lets you disguise 00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:15.319 and change. Fuck you and your stupid. Lets you 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.059 create disguises that change your physical appearance. 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.460 Okay. You don't add that text that literally 00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:25.700 says fake eyes? Yeah, that was definitely made 00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:27.720 up. It's incredible. It's incredible. Good job, 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.900 Wizards. You have made me eat my own shit tonight. 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.859 No, but it does say, you know, the kit lets you 00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:33.960 add proficiency bonus to any ability checks that 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:38.140 you make to create a visual disguise. Yeah, we 00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:40.559 literally have this spare eyes and disguise kit. 00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:42.240 You want one of those or a helm? It's your choice, 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.119 honestly, at this point. No, at this point, I 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.220 want a helm. All right, see, that's... All right, 00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:51.119 Grinny comes up with a helm. Gives it to you. 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.019 It's a full helm. Looks pretty rad. Doesn't add 00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:54.339 to your AC because that's not how helms work, 00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:57.759 but it will hide your face. Cool. And I'm still 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.619 in all my normal armor, so it actually kind of 00:21:59.619 --> 00:22:01.720 looks okay. Yeah, it totally matches your armor. 00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.779 It looks like... Yep. Yeah, they had a good surplus 00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.940 of them, so they found one that would look like 00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:07.799 a full set. Cool. Yep. Perfect. Nice disguise, 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.980 soldier boy. Wink. They probably gave you some 00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:13.720 nicer stuff because you had like a... You and 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:19.539 Crispin had taken like... Like street clothes. 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.279 Yeah, in the old city. Those aren't going to 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:23.839 fly here, so they probably give you something 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.920 nicer to go over your armor, you know? Cool. 00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:31.500 And heels, if you want them, Blanche. They're 00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:34.839 just not sensible. Yeah, well, maybe not for 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.720 you. Down here in the bunker? Sure, if I was 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.660 walking around all day. All right, back to the 00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:44.559 plan. Or the lack of plan. Honestly... That's 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.359 fine. We... I didn't think we'd get this far. 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.819 This is... I mean, this is all crazy, but... 00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:52.000 You're getting into the party. Like I said before, 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.460 they can't risk embarrassment. There are elites 00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:56.980 from all over the world here. If Pigmen can really 00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:59.720 get you in there, once you're there, they're 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.140 not gonna risk a whole scene dragging you out. 00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:06.299 Not unless you really, really fuck up. So, just 00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:09.359 try to mind your P's and Q's. Hang around. Learn 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.180 what you can learn. If you can get deeper in, 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.029 maybe it's in his private office. You might learn 00:23:15.029 --> 00:23:17.869 something there. I'm sure it's guarded. I'm sure 00:23:17.869 --> 00:23:20.829 there's security. I mean, it'd be crazy to think 00:23:20.829 --> 00:23:22.269 he doesn't have armored guards, at least through 00:23:22.269 --> 00:23:24.450 his own manor. Probably all around the party, 00:23:24.509 --> 00:23:27.529 too. Play it careful. We might get something. 00:23:28.430 --> 00:23:31.990 All right. Eastman's office. Tread carefully. 00:23:32.910 --> 00:23:36.230 Don't fuck up. And on top of that, these elites, 00:23:36.430 --> 00:23:39.130 I mean, these rich folk, they're always trying 00:23:39.130 --> 00:23:44.359 to kill each other at each other's throats. Itchbin 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.740 goes down, they benefit. Find the right person 00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:50.220 to talk to, maybe they'll help too. Perhaps we 00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:52.680 could work them against each other. That's very 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.279 wise, Paloma. And remember that curing Serenno 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.640 is our priority. If we can find the source of 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.240 it and learn how to stop it, we can save a lot 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.519 of lives. Good, good people. Good revolutionaries. 00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:09.099 More of them die every damn night. And if I find 00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:12.099 the source, I'll extinguish it immediately. Hell 00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:16.279 yeah. Apart from that, I guess any evidence of 00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:18.420 Marvel or Tressner wrongdoing could go a long 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:20.740 way, though. You know, it's still a hell of a 00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:23.839 long shot. The Tressner has our speaker on their 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.480 side. They even have the network on their side. 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:28.420 I'm not sure our actions tonight will really 00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:30.740 put a dent in their damned industrial armor. 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.819 But we all decided long ago that the fight is 00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:36.240 worth it. We're not content to work ourselves 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.579 to death so that our children and our children's 00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:41.119 children can do the same. Even if we fall here. 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.299 We can go to La Catrina with pride in our efforts. 00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:48.779 I think Ramin steps forward there. Perhaps it 00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:51.740 is not such a long shot after all. Where the 00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:54.200 righteous battle corruption, the Sunweaver sends 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:58.119 miracles. And perhaps we will see a miracle tonight. 00:24:59.099 --> 00:25:03.960 Already, we've seen such wonders. Blanche, Dresden, 00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:06.099 have you not already understand the significance 00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:08.960 of what we've heard? Just last night, in the 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:13.619 ring, In the pig pen. You don't realize it. What 00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:15.460 have you... What pieces have you put together? 00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:18.960 Enlighten us. The pig man. You've got to admit. 00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:23.480 Admit that he is murdered. Oh, yes, yes. That 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:25.660 Marthil Ironworks has covered up murder. Under 00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:29.779 truth. Under truth. He could not lie. In the 00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:33.119 court of Atash or the speakers. Should they use 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.420 such methods? He's a high -ranking luminary. 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.420 His word will be taken seriously. We already 00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:44.380 hold evidence against Marfil. Clear evidence. 00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:48.980 Getting Pigman in front of somebody like that 00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:51.059 who can force that information out of him will 00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:55.539 be no easy task either. I personally, Ramin, 00:25:55.619 --> 00:26:00.500 I choose to stick to the task at hand. My focus 00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:05.940 right now is on Serenno. He sort of nods and 00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:09.839 in a way looks a little disappointed. We can't 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:16.299 get that justice until we solve this one. I... 00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:20.579 yes. Yes, I understand. But should... should 00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:23.720 we find any information against... against Marfil? 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.500 Any more wrongdoings? Any more evidence? I implore 00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:30.000 that we investigate further. We can break this 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.500 cycle. We just need more. I... I agree. And fast. 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.980 I agree. I'm afraid of losing focus. As long 00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:42.059 as our first priority is Serenno and we all agree 00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:46.720 on that, everything else is gravy. We're not 00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.359 there to blow shit up. We're there to get what 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:54.079 we need and get out of there alive. Yes, of course, 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.720 yes. If we risk too much, Jules will die as a 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.420 result, and you as well, Ramin. You are quite 00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:05.119 afflicted. And around eight o 'clock, when the 00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.970 night of the numbered truly starts... My affliction 00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:11.589 will return, but I will be at your side. We will 00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:15.390 see this through, and we will focus on Serenno. 00:27:16.170 --> 00:27:19.190 And your passive perceptions are not high enough 00:27:19.190 --> 00:27:22.309 to see Ramin's hand gently move to his pocket 00:27:22.309 --> 00:27:27.670 and then move away from it. Can I roll a better 00:27:27.670 --> 00:27:31.049 perception? Nah, you took too long. I left a 00:27:31.049 --> 00:27:32.789 gap to see, and no one said anything, so I was 00:27:32.789 --> 00:27:37.900 like, cool, passives. Perseverance, yeah. Good 00:27:37.900 --> 00:27:42.079 to go. You guys ready? I think we're losing time. 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.339 Is everybody ready? Yes, sir. I can't believe 00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:48.579 we're going to a party with a pig man. Sorry. 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:53.460 Yes, sir. Sorry, no. Focused. Yes. Sir. Jean, 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.119 I believe you'll fit right in this party. I think 00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:01.440 you should maybe be a little less rigid once 00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:06.269 we arrive. Should I? Revert to my former form, 00:28:06.390 --> 00:28:11.009 sir. Courtly self. You are ever the chameleon. 00:28:11.650 --> 00:28:14.589 Very well. I shall do my part. See what I can 00:28:14.589 --> 00:28:18.009 learn there. I'm not going to like this. And 00:28:18.009 --> 00:28:23.809 Dresden does a little slow bow. I'm at your service. 00:28:25.869 --> 00:28:30.390 Well, well. My. Just try to really get him into 00:28:30.390 --> 00:28:33.750 it. The little haughtiness returns to him. He's 00:28:33.750 --> 00:28:36.950 been sort of deflated ever since, you know, obviously 00:28:36.950 --> 00:28:39.150 the events of yesterday. And now he's like poised 00:28:39.150 --> 00:28:41.250 a little taller, a little higher, smiling a little 00:28:41.250 --> 00:28:43.950 more like, very well then, yes. Let's do this. 00:28:44.190 --> 00:28:48.769 Yes, very well, soldier boy. Very well. And you 00:28:48.769 --> 00:28:51.950 guys, you guys hit the street. You're moving 00:28:51.950 --> 00:28:56.109 along and it's four o 'clock. You're about to 00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:58.549 meet the pig man. Should be a little timey -wimey. 00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:01.299 But now we're going to get that message because 00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:03.940 time was rough where you were in the mountains 00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:05.420 when this was sent out. We're going to say right 00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:07.480 now, before you, as you're like moving through 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:09.039 Fiesta Town, you're about to turn up to his thing 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:14.660 and the stone goes off. Dresden, you answer it 00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:19.539 because canonically you did. And you hear Crispin's 00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:24.259 message and you say a message back. And as you're 00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:26.259 standing there in the middle of the yard, Blanche 00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:30.259 says, Well, boys, looks like we have to kill 00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:32.940 the pig man's brother. Or something like that. 00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:38.420 What? I... What? What? What? What? Why do you 00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:41.880 think this? The pig man? Yes? Is Eatsman's son? 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.859 The pig man? I just explained this to you. When? 00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:49.259 Right now, after I heard it. Through this stone. 00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:53.299 Yes, but how do you think... What? For the audience, 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.720 what's the connecting point between these two 00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:57.269 thoughts? I think we did it off mic. Wait, didn't 00:29:57.269 --> 00:29:59.349 we know that... Didn't Pigman say that he was 00:29:59.349 --> 00:30:02.829 Eastman's son? No. He said that he had a brother. 00:30:03.049 --> 00:30:06.170 Maybe. He doesn't know his origins at all. Oh. 00:30:06.349 --> 00:30:08.269 So we're just guessing. You're guessing. You're 00:30:08.269 --> 00:30:12.049 guessing. Well, we're guessing... We're guessing 00:30:12.049 --> 00:30:16.450 that Pigman is Eastman's son because the Pigman 00:30:16.450 --> 00:30:21.849 said that he had a brother and this evil guy... 00:30:21.849 --> 00:30:26.190 Wait, hold on. Yes? Shall I follow along? No, 00:30:26.190 --> 00:30:31.289 I... Yes, the Tlacatacolo, yes. Tlacatacolo. 00:30:31.509 --> 00:30:36.730 There wasn't enough words for Crispin to tell 00:30:36.730 --> 00:30:41.569 them why... Pause, one sec. Pause, one sec. Yeah, 00:30:41.569 --> 00:30:45.490 that confused the shit out of me. Well, you see, 00:30:45.569 --> 00:30:49.529 Tadpole. Yes? We know the Pigman has a brother. 00:30:50.069 --> 00:30:54.430 We know the Pigman's origins are... Strange and 00:30:54.430 --> 00:31:01.549 mysterious. If this eatsman's son reverts during 00:31:01.549 --> 00:31:04.950 the day, then we can assume that that's not the 00:31:04.950 --> 00:31:08.690 pig man. So if we make the family connection, 00:31:08.829 --> 00:31:12.210 the pus pieces slide together here. Am I crazy? 00:31:12.410 --> 00:31:14.829 Am I the only one thinking this? I think John 00:31:14.829 --> 00:31:17.609 actually scratches his chin and says, Well, actually, 00:31:17.750 --> 00:31:20.230 while you mention this, it is odd, isn't it? 00:31:20.670 --> 00:31:23.829 The pig man discovered by Marfil Ironworks, brought 00:31:23.829 --> 00:31:28.049 out as a luminary by them. Discovered or created? 00:31:28.150 --> 00:31:31.369 Nobody knows who he is, and you'd think a celebrity 00:31:31.369 --> 00:31:32.970 like that, somebody would come forward, some 00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:36.269 parents, some origin. You could be right. How 00:31:36.269 --> 00:31:39.589 does a behemoth like that go unnoticed, have 00:31:39.589 --> 00:31:46.849 an unknown past? If we fit the pig man into this... 00:31:48.419 --> 00:31:52.059 frankly, awful narrative, it starts to line up. 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.960 I think we may get a lot more clarity on that 00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:58.779 when we see how everybody acts around the big 00:31:58.779 --> 00:32:02.559 man and how he acts with them. Yes, I suppose 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.039 sticking to the plan of not really having a plan 00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:12.140 is going to plan. It's the only plan. I'm on 00:32:12.140 --> 00:32:15.799 the non -plan plan. I forgot what movie that's 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.569 from. As you stand here, not planning, the door 00:32:20.569 --> 00:32:22.509 to the manor, to the pigman's estate sort of 00:32:22.509 --> 00:32:25.170 opens up. The very large door swings open. The 00:32:25.170 --> 00:32:27.309 pigman starts walking out like, no, hang on. 00:32:27.650 --> 00:32:30.069 No, just a few more minutes, Mary. Come on. No, 00:32:30.170 --> 00:32:32.289 no, no, no, no, no, no. We must go. We're not 00:32:32.289 --> 00:32:34.829 going to be late. Okay. Not again. Not again. 00:32:34.950 --> 00:32:38.109 Not tonight. Okay. Come on. Come on. And he goes, 00:32:38.150 --> 00:32:41.890 well, I, oh, oh, hey. Hey, guys. And he starts 00:32:41.890 --> 00:32:45.309 waving to you. You start moving towards the estate. 00:32:45.470 --> 00:32:49.670 Mary. You see this small woman of middle age 00:32:49.670 --> 00:32:52.170 wearing a long formal white dress and wearing 00:32:52.170 --> 00:32:55.690 very heavy makeup. And as you start to approach 00:32:55.690 --> 00:32:57.250 or as they start to approach you and she catches 00:32:57.250 --> 00:33:00.450 you, her smile is just simply too wide. Just 00:33:00.450 --> 00:33:03.970 too wide. Her eyes just catching you and looking, 00:33:04.210 --> 00:33:08.589 scanning all four of you. Ah, Master Pigman. 00:33:08.630 --> 00:33:13.799 Good evening. Hi there. Hi. I'm... You must be 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.339 fans of the Pigmen. Unfortunately, he can't do 00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:18.180 autographs tonight. No meetups. Sorry, we're 00:33:18.180 --> 00:33:19.819 in a bit of a rush right now. But please have 00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:21.579 a joyous night as remembered. Come on. Come on. 00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:24.200 Come on, Pigmen. Oh, no, no, no, no. Mary, no 00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.200 worries. I invited them to Itchmint. We had a 00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.200 little throwdown at the old pig pen last night. 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:38.700 Mary's smiling face just twitches. I assumed 00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:44.480 we were expected. No, no, you weren't. So sorry, 00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:47.319 we can't do last minute invites. Not tonight. 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:53.019 That's not simply... Mary, I invited them. They're 00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:56.980 my guests and my friends. She's her eyes back 00:33:56.980 --> 00:34:00.900 and forth. We don't want to cause any trouble, 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.819 Mary. We're here for the big man. Look, I... 00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:13.420 And you're a... Well, if... It helps. Sean Franklin 00:34:13.420 --> 00:34:18.840 steps forward, spear raised. I am Sean Franklin 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.039 Montelio, heir to Helps Montelio, future lord 00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:22.579 of the Nine Pools and bearer of the banner of 00:34:22.579 --> 00:34:25.579 the Golden Bay. Mary just sort of stares, still 00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:29.019 smiling, her eyes showing no recognition. Sean 00:34:29.019 --> 00:34:32.559 deflates just a little bit. And son of Zinda's 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.380 seventh king of coin, DiPiero Montelio. DiPiero 00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:39.000 Montelio! And this, at this, her eyes go wide. 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.019 This gets her attention. Do you know who my father 00:34:42.019 --> 00:34:46.099 is? Literally, yeah. My father heard you are 00:34:46.099 --> 00:34:47.820 looking for potential new investors in your company. 00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:50.920 I'm not pleased with having to take such a roundabout 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.440 method to be noticed by your people, but, well, 00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:56.440 if you bring me and my retinue to your little 00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:59.500 soiree, I suppose your superiors could be quite 00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:03.559 pleased with the results. I do have some money 00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:07.139 under my name. Oh, nice of you. Please do introduce 00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:13.340 yourselves to this small person. Did David just 00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:16.480 saying that possibly have implications for something 00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.679 happening in Zinda later on? Oh, absolutely. 00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:23.940 I mean, you knew something was somebody. I think 00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:26.360 even, like, to you, Dresden, to everyone here, 00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.480 like, I mean, Blanche obviously knows Jean's 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.500 history, but he's not just some lord of some 00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:35.550 kingdom in Noiri. He is... His father is one 00:35:35.550 --> 00:35:38.389 of the Kings of Coin. These are the top merchant 00:35:38.389 --> 00:35:40.670 rulers of the city of San Jacinto. These are 00:35:40.670 --> 00:35:43.550 powerful people. And even just in this group 00:35:43.550 --> 00:35:44.949 right now, I think all of you probably feel some 00:35:44.949 --> 00:35:46.969 shock. Everyone that's not Blanche hearing this. 00:35:47.289 --> 00:35:51.690 Well, Blanche steps forward into a rigid salute. 00:35:52.210 --> 00:35:56.429 And for an old lady, she looks quite commanding. 00:35:56.429 --> 00:36:00.329 She moves like a soldier. I am Blanche Trudeau, 00:36:00.369 --> 00:36:06.019 Master of Defense. For the Golden Bay. She's 00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:09.980 gonna be my sidekick. What? He just looks back, 00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:22.000 looks at you, Dresden. I'm Grunt. It's Grunt. 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:23.760 You're a Grunt? Okay, I wanted to make sure, 00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:26.980 so you're a Grunt. No. Oh. He gave me the name 00:36:26.980 --> 00:36:29.159 Grunt. You're Grunt the Grunt. That is... Oh, 00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:32.650 my. Jean -Pierre looks so proud. He's so happy. 00:36:35.269 --> 00:36:39.510 Just nodding and bobbing. Oh, wait, Ramin's the 00:36:39.510 --> 00:36:43.949 last one. Hi, I'm Ramin. I'm, uh, his priest. 00:36:45.090 --> 00:36:49.610 Ramin Rasool? I'm sure the name, uh, carries 00:36:49.610 --> 00:36:52.309 its own weight around here. Again, I sort of, 00:36:52.329 --> 00:36:56.150 like, a little confusion, just, Ramin Rasool, 00:36:56.309 --> 00:37:00.760 uh... The boy resurrected by Atash himself? Sworn 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:03.059 to the Sunweaver, I did not realize that it was 00:37:03.059 --> 00:37:07.960 in fashion for lords of Zinda, of Nwari, to worship 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.260 the deity of Anchor and Sengar, but I do not 00:37:12.260 --> 00:37:14.920 judge. I do not judge my lord. He's like, let's 00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:16.760 get ready to yell. No, no, no, I'm very sorry. 00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:23.320 Very well, very well. You seem to be dressed 00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:30.539 well enough. I suppose I could get you in. Yes, 00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:33.179 yes, we have to go. We have to go now. Yeah, 00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:37.000 Blanche is like looking expectantly. And she 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.239 just like spins on her heels and starts like 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:43.780 moving, like very fast walking around the corner. 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:48.400 I told you it'd be all right. Blanche walks up 00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:51.150 close to Mary. Mary, I don't want to embarrass 00:37:51.150 --> 00:37:53.030 myself, and I'm sure you don't want us to be 00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:55.170 embarrassing either. Can you give me a quick 00:37:55.170 --> 00:37:57.110 rundown of who should be there, who I should 00:37:57.110 --> 00:38:00.389 know, and what I should say? All right. Well, 00:38:00.570 --> 00:38:04.710 the guest list is quite something. Of the 13 00:38:04.710 --> 00:38:08.150 Trezina, there will be three in attendance. But 00:38:08.150 --> 00:38:10.449 they are the big three, as everyone knows. Donya 00:38:10.449 --> 00:38:13.789 Stella, do not talk to Donya Stella. Don't do 00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:17.369 it. Dona Panko, he should be fine. He'll be in 00:38:17.369 --> 00:38:21.420 his drinks. Four hours ago, so he should be safe 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:24.119 enough for you to speak with. Don Yeziko will 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:25.900 be very busy with the dignitaries. She won't 00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:28.420 bother with you, so that should be fine. Apart 00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:32.320 from that, there is, oh, Samuel LaRoche of the 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.960 LaRoche family of Sarul Tithos. He will be in 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.820 attendance. Very close friends with Don Yeziko. 00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:44.360 Of course, it's me himself. And, oh, you must 00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.340 know, you must know Kejo Kamal. Does Blanche 00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:52.019 know Kejo Kamal? I would say you do. Okay. Kejo 00:38:52.019 --> 00:38:55.000 Kamal is the founder of the Crystal Network, 00:38:55.340 --> 00:38:59.079 a magical architect who basically, he's been 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:00.699 mentioned a few times in the show before, but 00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:03.960 he's a magical architect from Senza, the progeny 00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:08.239 of Senza's Anissa Academy, currently High Priest, 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.380 the Faceless Prophet. Kejo Kamal is a very, very 00:39:11.380 --> 00:39:14.880 big deal. He's the one that, upon entering the 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:17.760 Aetherial, or the Auroral Diamond, discovered 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:21.539 it had this transmission property. And so being 00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:24.480 to hone it, being to, he created a world town, 00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:26.900 um, pulling structures up from the diamond itself. 00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:29.599 He can do things in the world diamond that nobody 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:33.280 else can figure out. Uh, they say he is perhaps 00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.860 the truest genius in all the worlds. Yes. Yes. 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:38.480 We know. We know. We've, we've got you. Come 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:44.360 on. Um, and, uh, um, I mean, other than that, 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.469 just people. Uh, important people. Rich people. 00:39:47.570 --> 00:39:50.710 People with money. People with power. Um, I would 00:39:50.710 --> 00:39:53.329 suggest you just don't talk to anyone if you're 00:39:53.329 --> 00:39:57.469 not him. She thumbs Jean Franklin over her shoulder. 00:39:58.489 --> 00:40:04.409 Ah, shit. Okay. Be seen and not heard. Please. 00:40:05.269 --> 00:40:08.469 I understand. Yeah, that's no problem for Justin. 00:40:08.849 --> 00:40:10.690 At this point, he's playing the part, and he's 00:40:10.690 --> 00:40:13.820 just not even talking at all. Hell yeah. He'll 00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:16.960 speak if asked a direct question, but... I assume 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.360 it won't be a problem that we're wearing Marfil 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.159 -branded weapons? And she points to her Marfil 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:28.619 plus one longsword. And again, her eyes sort 00:40:28.619 --> 00:40:31.440 of go wide and it's like a twitch. Oh, he gave 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:34.340 you his sample weapons that were supposed to 00:40:34.340 --> 00:40:36.119 be handed out at the event next week. That's 00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:38.320 great. That's great. Hey, we'll get two more. 00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:42.239 Magical plus one. That's not a word in the world. 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:46.539 Magical weapons. Well, if the great Marfil Ironworks 00:40:46.539 --> 00:40:49.260 happens to figure out plus two, give me a ring. 00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:54.519 We have ascending stone. You guys are pushing 00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.139 up through Fiesta Town, and you begin to move 00:40:57.139 --> 00:41:01.500 up Poblacion Hill. You've seen this looming over 00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:04.619 everything in this city. The last day or two 00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:06.820 you've been here, and now you're getting in close. 00:41:07.449 --> 00:41:10.329 You've seen the tall structures jutting out over 00:41:10.329 --> 00:41:15.429 everything. These huge manors belonging to the 00:41:15.429 --> 00:41:18.530 Tresina, to the richest merchants, to the highest 00:41:18.530 --> 00:41:23.710 ups in Marfle Ironworks and the company. You've 00:41:23.710 --> 00:41:29.269 seen the lush grass, the immaculate sort of fountains 00:41:29.269 --> 00:41:32.289 and gardens, perfectly trimmed hedges. I mean... 00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:35.440 In the middle of a desert, this is an absolute 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:39.260 oasis. Beautiful. The scent of flowers heavy 00:41:39.260 --> 00:41:42.079 in the air. The only place even close to this 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.679 you've seen in the old city is the Rosas Estate 00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.460 under Serapio, which rests just on the border 00:41:47.460 --> 00:41:52.699 of this whole different world. As you move, you 00:41:52.699 --> 00:42:00.900 see this large set of armor. No. and every plate 00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:04.719 just interlocking perfectly begins to move around 00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:08.239 a manor's corner and move down the road towards 00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:10.699 you. You can see there's nothing awkward about 00:42:10.699 --> 00:42:14.659 its movements. It's so human, so perfectly lithe, 00:42:14.659 --> 00:42:18.059 so easy. It just kind of moves down the road 00:42:18.059 --> 00:42:23.980 towards you. There's a red glow, powerful, emanating 00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:26.219 from the tiniest slits in the armor where... 00:42:26.969 --> 00:42:30.349 The pieces sort of meet. And this thing moves 00:42:30.349 --> 00:42:33.110 towards you. Mary, you could feel her tense up 00:42:33.110 --> 00:42:36.750 next to you and ahead of you as this moves past 00:42:36.750 --> 00:42:43.530 her and then stops. Helmet turns. That red glow 00:42:43.530 --> 00:42:48.769 shines on the four of you. Pigman is totally 00:42:48.769 --> 00:42:53.489 at ease in the back. Blanche also at least projects 00:42:53.489 --> 00:42:58.389 the image of being at ease. Relax, and it'll 00:42:58.389 --> 00:43:02.070 let us go. Could Blanche learn anything by rolling 00:43:02.070 --> 00:43:04.349 Arcana, perhaps? Something we don't already know? 00:43:04.489 --> 00:43:06.969 That's interesting. Yeah, go ahead and roll Arcana. 00:43:07.090 --> 00:43:16.369 Sweet. It's too early for buttons. 17. 17. It's 00:43:16.369 --> 00:43:18.849 powerful magic. Cool. There must be sigil work 00:43:18.849 --> 00:43:23.090 running inside the armor itself. Maybe you've 00:43:23.090 --> 00:43:24.929 heard commercials before that talked about the... 00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:28.440 AG5 and their arcane core. In order to, like, 00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.300 take this thing down, you'd have to either overpower 00:43:30.300 --> 00:43:34.460 the core or harm it, crack it, dent it, anything 00:43:34.460 --> 00:43:37.360 you could do to it. Probably not good enough 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:39.039 to learn if there's any, like, elemental weakness? 00:43:40.179 --> 00:43:42.860 No, I don't believe there is, and I'll tell you 00:43:42.860 --> 00:43:46.440 that. Oh, jeez. Okay. As you size this thing 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:51.079 up, as it sizes you up, the head turns back. 00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:56.840 This thing steps away. And as you watch it go, 00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:00.639 the only thing you do note with your check is 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:04.840 that it has no weaknesses, but luckily many immunities 00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:09.000 or resistances. It's tough. It's strong. You 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.519 can feel the strength. And there are many of 00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.420 them, apparently. As you move higher and higher, 00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.920 you see more. Some standing at rest along the 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:20.400 roadside. Some before the doors of other manors. 00:44:21.289 --> 00:44:22.849 And as you get higher and higher on the hill, 00:44:22.889 --> 00:44:25.070 the buildings get taller and taller until they 00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:28.949 completely dwarf everything down below. Even 00:44:28.949 --> 00:44:31.690 the last building on the hill before it. Until 00:44:31.690 --> 00:44:35.070 you take a turn and you go up higher. Until you 00:44:35.070 --> 00:44:39.869 hit the apex of the hill. The highest building 00:44:39.869 --> 00:44:45.150 and the grandest and tallest. Eatsman's Manor 00:44:45.150 --> 00:44:48.070 is likely unlike anything you've seen before. 00:44:49.340 --> 00:44:53.019 absolutely immaculate, huge. This great pathway 00:44:53.019 --> 00:44:55.059 leading up through just like this, absolutely 00:44:55.059 --> 00:44:58.840 just this lush, beautiful garden with wild roses. 00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:03.099 And at the front, just a number of guests are 00:45:03.099 --> 00:45:05.840 sort of streaming in into this sort of main hallway. 00:45:06.460 --> 00:45:09.539 There are a few of these armored guard standing 00:45:09.539 --> 00:45:14.079 at rest just off the road as you approach. And 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:17.940 you guys are led into the building. Here we go. 00:45:18.949 --> 00:45:22.110 Let's do it. You know, people are immediately 00:45:22.110 --> 00:45:23.929 going to think what we did to manipulate pig 00:45:23.929 --> 00:45:26.829 man. We are going to, we're going to be on everybody's 00:45:26.829 --> 00:45:29.949 immediate radar. I will say you're really, we're 00:45:29.949 --> 00:45:32.670 really, really nice. You're very well known as 00:45:32.670 --> 00:45:35.690 you approach. Um, these are, I mean, there's 00:45:35.690 --> 00:45:37.510 people like, Hey man, all these people in probably 00:45:37.510 --> 00:45:40.250 much nicer, uh, you know, attire than you, um, 00:45:40.349 --> 00:45:42.289 as you approach turn and even like these sort 00:45:42.289 --> 00:45:44.349 of rich snobbish folk, uh, their eyes fall on 00:45:44.349 --> 00:45:45.969 the pig man and they just smile. Just like, Oh, 00:45:46.030 --> 00:45:49.170 it's him. The big man. The pig man. The pig man. 00:45:49.269 --> 00:45:50.489 Everyone's, like, all excited. And he's like, 00:45:50.550 --> 00:45:55.150 hey, what's going on? Hey, Larry. Yeah. Oh, yeah, 00:45:55.230 --> 00:45:56.750 we're doing a show later on. I'll show you what's 00:45:56.750 --> 00:45:58.489 up. I'm going to pick up a, I don't know, like, 00:45:58.489 --> 00:46:00.010 well, rhino. That's what he brought last time. 00:46:01.530 --> 00:46:03.130 We'll see what crazy things he's asked me to 00:46:03.130 --> 00:46:05.329 do. It's here tonight, the festival, you know, 00:46:05.389 --> 00:46:08.070 once the night's going hot. Oh, hey, these are 00:46:08.070 --> 00:46:12.110 my friends. And all heads look at you as you 00:46:12.110 --> 00:46:19.380 move into the door. Great. Mary's. Smile. Looks 00:46:19.380 --> 00:46:22.860 like he's going to break her face off. See, oh 00:46:22.860 --> 00:46:27.739 my God. What I want to do, what Stephen wants 00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:30.840 to, or what Blanche wants to do is announce John 00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:33.739 Franklin. What Stephen is not capable of doing 00:46:33.739 --> 00:46:39.019 is repeating his title, John's title, which Blanche 00:46:39.019 --> 00:46:44.719 surely is capable of. Can we sort of understand 00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.980 that Stephen doesn't know it, but Blanche does? 00:46:47.420 --> 00:46:50.920 Yes, yeah. Okay. You do the whole spiel. Presenting 00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:54.719 Jean Franklin de Montelio, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:57.000 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.059 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:58.059 --> 00:46:58.460 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:58.460 --> 00:46:58.460 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:58.460 --> 00:46:58.900 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:58.900 --> 00:46:59.500 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:59.500 --> 00:46:59.500 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:01.719 blah, blah. People start chatting. Jean steps 00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.239 forward as haughty as can be. Well, well, where 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.480 are the refreshments? Where are the drinks? I've 00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:09.960 had a glass in my hand. Not at all. For some 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.530 time. Please, please, lead me. I must speak with 00:47:13.530 --> 00:47:15.670 Yitzmin immediately. My father would have words. 00:47:16.030 --> 00:47:18.210 And he starts moving away with them. And as long 00:47:18.210 --> 00:47:19.489 as you're cool with it, Jean Franklin's going 00:47:19.489 --> 00:47:22.570 to leave the party for now to schmooze and perhaps 00:47:22.570 --> 00:47:25.150 learn information. And later on, I'll let you 00:47:25.150 --> 00:47:29.590 all check on that. Okay. Sounds good. So how 00:47:29.590 --> 00:47:32.010 does that work with Dresden? Are you going with 00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:34.869 him? I'm his bodyguard. Oh, that's Dresden's 00:47:34.869 --> 00:47:37.230 choice. We're sticking together then. Yeah, I'm 00:47:37.230 --> 00:47:40.269 not. He's not going to let. John Franklin go 00:47:40.269 --> 00:47:43.389 along. Then we're putting the camera staying 00:47:43.389 --> 00:47:44.949 on John because you guys are going together. 00:47:45.170 --> 00:47:48.230 Yeah, Dresden's going. Tell him. Ramin, here 00:47:48.230 --> 00:47:51.469 with me. Ah, yes, of course. That sounded enthusiastic. 00:47:52.730 --> 00:47:54.530 Oh, it was supposed to be like out of the corner 00:47:54.530 --> 00:48:01.010 from under my breath. I'm so sorry. No. No, I 00:48:01.010 --> 00:48:03.090 like you, Ramin. I'm just trying to speak in 00:48:03.090 --> 00:48:07.150 a way that isn't noticeable. Oh, yes, of course. 00:48:08.650 --> 00:48:13.670 All right, so Blanche and Ramin will take off 00:48:13.670 --> 00:48:15.690 into the party in a different direction than 00:48:15.690 --> 00:48:19.469 John and Dresden. The first thing you guys notice 00:48:19.469 --> 00:48:21.150 is the party is not actually happening inside 00:48:21.150 --> 00:48:22.630 the manor. As you push through, there's a number 00:48:22.630 --> 00:48:24.510 of guests here, but they're all sort of moving 00:48:24.510 --> 00:48:27.590 in a slow stream out the back door. You see this 00:48:27.590 --> 00:48:32.800 huge, ornate, full sort of entrance hall. You 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:34.880 know, grand staircases moving up to a higher 00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:37.199 floor on either side of the room in sort of a 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:39.480 spiraling manner. You see just like the full 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:43.039 sort of upper floor above you. Great chandelier 00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.739 hanging down, all the works. But no one's hanging 00:48:45.739 --> 00:48:48.500 out here. They're pushing on ahead out the back 00:48:48.500 --> 00:48:53.780 door where this grand terrace is set in the edge 00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:56.059 of the building into the side of the hill. And 00:48:56.059 --> 00:48:58.039 as you follow through with this and as you're 00:48:58.039 --> 00:48:59.800 stepping your different groups out into this 00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:03.679 real party where you see there's guards, armored 00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:05.739 guard, inside the building as well, staying at 00:49:05.739 --> 00:49:08.159 the staircases, very clearly you're supposed 00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.780 to move through. Blanche is going to put her 00:49:11.780 --> 00:49:14.980 back sort of up against the wall and cross her 00:49:14.980 --> 00:49:18.940 arms, waiting for the crowd to pass by. Maybe 00:49:18.940 --> 00:49:22.300 she's standing sort of in lockstep with the... 00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:26.719 Steel defenders, whatever they are. Change of 00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:30.800 planner, I mean. Move on, boy. Interesting. Oh. 00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:34.460 What? He's still moving. I guess you just stop 00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:36.880 and he's kind of drifting away from you. Yeah, 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:39.340 I don't know if it's a dumb move, but that's 00:49:39.340 --> 00:49:41.619 what Blanche is going to do for now. And when 00:49:41.619 --> 00:49:44.639 there does come a point where there's sort of 00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:49.579 nobody really in earshot, she'll look up to one 00:49:49.579 --> 00:49:55.900 of these suits of armor. Could you direct me 00:49:55.900 --> 00:50:01.840 to the little turtle's room? Helmhead just looks 00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:03.780 at you. They really got to fix the squeaky helmet 00:50:03.780 --> 00:50:11.440 issue. The seafood here in the desert does. And 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:17.539 she pats on her under shell. Does not agree. 00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:26.599 Of all the ways this could go. I did not expect 00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:29.039 that one. Neither did I. Neither did I. But we're 00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:30.659 going outside, and I don't want to be outside. 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:34.420 Hey, let's get more unexpected. You speak to 00:50:34.420 --> 00:50:36.420 this armor. It just stares at you for a moment. 00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.539 And then you hear a voice say, Little Turtles 00:50:40.539 --> 00:50:42.780 Room, right. I can help with that. Why don't 00:50:42.780 --> 00:50:46.119 you know, right? I'm an admirer of your work, 00:50:46.139 --> 00:50:48.880 actually. You know, your pupil does you much 00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:51.099 honor. We know each other. In fact, we worked 00:50:51.099 --> 00:50:55.800 together. You turn and look. I'm thinking Blanche 00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:01.440 is still looking at this guardian suit. Wow, 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:04.400 they talk too, huh? Oh my God, that's what I 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:10.059 thought too. So you look at that. No, hey, I 00:51:10.059 --> 00:51:16.199 feel a tapping. You turn and look down and see 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:18.139 that the loudest outfit here of all these people 00:51:18.139 --> 00:51:20.730 is worn by... Possibly the smallest form. It's 00:51:20.730 --> 00:51:23.909 a bright orange suit contrasted by a sky blue 00:51:23.909 --> 00:51:26.050 tie, red tinted spectacles looking at you from 00:51:26.050 --> 00:51:28.570 a smiling, friendly gnomish face topped by a 00:51:28.570 --> 00:51:30.690 balding head badly disguised with a comb over. 00:51:30.809 --> 00:51:35.010 And this figure says, Brunner Song. It's good 00:51:35.010 --> 00:51:37.630 to meet you. Goddamn. Let's pan away from this. 00:51:39.170 --> 00:51:45.610 You asshole. Let's fan away from this. I was 00:51:45.610 --> 00:51:47.889 waiting for the moment when he was going to pop 00:51:47.889 --> 00:51:50.449 up again. I didn't think it would be here. Just 00:51:50.449 --> 00:51:51.909 when I thought I was going to get away with it, 00:51:51.929 --> 00:51:57.989 too. Oh, holy shit. Okay. Okay. Meanwhile, Jean 00:51:57.989 --> 00:52:02.570 Franklin steps out onto the terrace behind Dresden, 00:52:02.630 --> 00:52:06.510 just behind him in full armor. And you see just 00:52:06.510 --> 00:52:09.750 this wide, beautiful set. I mean, like, this 00:52:09.750 --> 00:52:12.469 is, this is. A hell of a balcony, porch, terrace, 00:52:12.590 --> 00:52:14.389 whatever you want to call it. There's pools and 00:52:14.389 --> 00:52:16.210 springs set into the stones of the terrace, which 00:52:16.210 --> 00:52:17.869 is crazy considering we're in the middle of a 00:52:17.869 --> 00:52:20.849 desert. But just like fountains bubbling up, 00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:24.389 spraying, people are full on dressing down and 00:52:24.389 --> 00:52:28.480 swimming with glasses in hand. You see exquisite 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:30.400 hedges shaped into various animals. An insane 00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:33.960 buffet spread on both sides of the place. Just 00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:37.219 a few long tables. Food steaming the air rich 00:52:37.219 --> 00:52:41.639 with just like sweet, sweet spice. There's multiple 00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:44.199 bars stocked to the nine with fine liquors from 00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.119 nearly every world. A stage in one corner with 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.860 live music and dancers. And a sort of space there 00:52:49.860 --> 00:52:52.780 for more people to come forward and dance. And 00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:54.679 just many tables set around for eating and drinking. 00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:59.489 Just a party. I think Jean -Francois stops. Oh, 00:52:59.489 --> 00:53:04.590 I start. I would tell you, I have missed this 00:53:04.590 --> 00:53:07.889 part of things. It used to be fun being all Jean 00:53:07.889 --> 00:53:10.090 -Francois Montelio for a night. Don't you think, 00:53:10.130 --> 00:53:17.389 Dresden? Sorry, Grant. Yes, sir. That's my lord. 00:53:17.730 --> 00:53:23.409 Come along, Grant. Jerry's just staring at Agnes. 00:53:24.210 --> 00:53:29.099 Yes, my lord. And then he just goes silent. Well, 00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:34.900 close enough. He's just pushing past some people, 00:53:34.980 --> 00:53:38.719 moving around, and let's note some of the people 00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:40.860 you see here as you step outside. I think, imagine 00:53:40.860 --> 00:53:42.739 you're just kind of taking, your eyes are shooting 00:53:42.739 --> 00:53:45.159 around, looking for, like, important people, 00:53:45.260 --> 00:53:49.079 and I think... Yeah. Okay. The pig man, I think, 00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:50.500 walks out, and he's kind of looking around like, 00:53:50.659 --> 00:53:53.579 huh? Hey, where's Wyatt? And he's kind of... 00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:56.039 Starts wandering away in one direction. Mary 00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:58.480 sees him go, and I think she's torn. Like, him 00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:00.860 or you? Him or you? And she suddenly just bolts 00:54:00.860 --> 00:54:02.940 over to the two of you. Like, okay, all right. 00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:05.400 I have to stay by the big man because he is going 00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.659 to do something stupid and awful. But before 00:54:07.659 --> 00:54:09.579 that happens, I just want to give you a quick 00:54:09.579 --> 00:54:14.039 rundown, okay? Yes, yes, we can use that. All 00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.500 right. Just over there. She points over to, uh, 00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:19.519 sort of like over by the back entrance, kind 00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:21.699 of. keenly watching everyone, a wrinkled old 00:54:21.699 --> 00:54:24.480 dwarven woman with a face set in a scowl, just 00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.059 wearing a fancy pantsuit, stony gray, stark white 00:54:28.059 --> 00:54:31.579 hair, immaculately curled. She's kind of just 00:54:31.579 --> 00:54:33.679 like, you see she's very easily scanning the 00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:35.699 room while sort of chatting with some people 00:54:35.699 --> 00:54:38.920 nearby. That is Donya Estella. Do not talk to 00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:40.900 Donya Estella. Do not go near Donya Estella. 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:42.719 Don't even look at her. Stop. You're looking 00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.280 at her. Don't do that. Don't think about her. 00:54:45.460 --> 00:54:49.929 Nobody tells my lord who to talk to. And who 00:54:49.929 --> 00:54:53.289 not to talk to. Now, now, Grant, it's fine. We'll 00:54:53.289 --> 00:54:56.409 allow it this time. Just keep your manners about 00:54:56.409 --> 00:55:00.150 you. Okay, okay. Um, over there, he points to, 00:55:00.170 --> 00:55:01.449 like, one of the tables. Or, actually, they're 00:55:01.449 --> 00:55:02.909 probably just sitting right at the bar as a man 00:55:02.909 --> 00:55:05.550 who's just, like, leaning over it. He's harmless. 00:55:05.610 --> 00:55:07.630 That's Don Apanko, another member of the Tresina. 00:55:08.070 --> 00:55:09.829 Um, and you see this middle -aged man with a 00:55:09.829 --> 00:55:12.489 round face, wearing a thin, waxed mustache. His 00:55:12.489 --> 00:55:14.750 eyes already carry a haze. He swoops frequently 00:55:14.750 --> 00:55:18.239 from a glass of just a clear liquid. Um... A 00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:19.860 small group surrounds him at his table, and he's 00:55:19.860 --> 00:55:22.000 just laughing heartily with them over here and 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.760 there after slurring out a joke. So, he's fine. 00:55:25.860 --> 00:55:27.679 He's harmless. He won't remember anything tomorrow 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:30.280 if you do anything that's awkward. And he's dressing 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:35.239 up. Hey, good to know. You, my lord, might want 00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:38.500 to speak to Doña Zico. In gestures to a halfling 00:55:38.500 --> 00:55:40.780 woman in her mid -twenties, wearing a yellow 00:55:40.780 --> 00:55:42.800 dress adorned with weaves of fresh flowers. Her 00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:44.500 hair looks to have been colored a bright blonde, 00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:46.880 though a touch of dark brown lingers in her roots. 00:55:47.500 --> 00:55:49.239 Um, and she's kind of just moving to the party, 00:55:49.300 --> 00:55:51.679 like touching, you know, hands sort of like moving 00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:54.380 across backs and touching hands and, and just 00:55:54.380 --> 00:55:57.760 for a very, very casually, um, being very close 00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.659 to a lot of the people there who seem to appreciate 00:56:00.659 --> 00:56:03.719 the closeness. Um, she's very good at working 00:56:03.719 --> 00:56:07.239 a crowd. Dona Zico is, is like, as she might 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:08.780 have been explained, like Dona Zico is sort of 00:56:08.780 --> 00:56:11.059 the, uh, off -world favorite of the Trezina. 00:56:11.139 --> 00:56:14.000 She's very good at bringing investors and, uh, 00:56:14.059 --> 00:56:17.159 bringing friends to Saint -Etienne. So, She would 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:21.199 like to talk to you, I'm sure. I think she also 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:23.820 gestures towards the far edge of the balcony 00:56:23.820 --> 00:56:27.719 where it oversees, like looking down the hill, 00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:29.960 down over most of Fiesta Town and a good portion 00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:32.880 of the Ironworks as well. Just this huge view 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:35.579 that encompasses most of the city. And there 00:56:35.579 --> 00:56:38.980 are two figures kind of standing on their own, 00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.260 almost space around them. You see a tiefling 00:56:42.260 --> 00:56:46.079 with dark red skin. a slight slender man with 00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:48.579 a prominent nose holding up a set of tiny spectacles. 00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:51.639 His dress is surprisingly casual, a comfortable 00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:55.420 silken tunic, black with matching pants. His 00:56:55.420 --> 00:56:57.239 demeanor seems to be almost awkward, though. 00:56:57.980 --> 00:57:00.239 He's kind of, like, nervous and a little, like, 00:57:00.260 --> 00:57:04.099 hunched over. His hands are constantly rubbing, 00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:06.920 his posture swaying. He looks to be middle -aged. 00:57:07.699 --> 00:57:10.039 That's Itzmendel Prado. That's the man. That's 00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:13.849 the guy. Give him a space. Don't talk to Itzman. 00:57:13.969 --> 00:57:15.630 We don't talk to Itzman. Nobody talks to Itzman, 00:57:15.750 --> 00:57:18.909 okay? Okay, great. She's looking at you, Dresden. 00:57:19.030 --> 00:57:21.989 Jaune's kind of like looking around. And then 00:57:21.989 --> 00:57:24.949 you see beside him is an old, dark -skinned human 00:57:24.949 --> 00:57:27.969 man in an ornate purple robe. His neck is heavy 00:57:27.969 --> 00:57:30.530 with golden necklaces, brilliant gems woven into 00:57:30.530 --> 00:57:32.670 them. His fingers are covered with golden rings, 00:57:32.809 --> 00:57:35.550 many of which bear small, magical inscriptions. 00:57:35.949 --> 00:57:38.909 His hair is a strange sight, white over his head, 00:57:38.949 --> 00:57:41.030 but shifting to an auburn as it runs to an enormous 00:57:41.030 --> 00:57:44.469 braid down his back. He leans on a staff of gnarled 00:57:44.469 --> 00:57:46.690 wood, reinforced by bands of gold and topped 00:57:46.690 --> 00:57:50.090 by a huge, luminous diamond. This is, like, probably 00:57:50.090 --> 00:57:52.190 the most standout figure in the entire room, 00:57:52.269 --> 00:57:55.449 and a lot of eyes catch him. He is standing next 00:57:55.449 --> 00:57:57.550 to Eastman Del Prado, the man himself, and yet 00:57:57.550 --> 00:58:00.510 this figure seems to dwarf him in just general 00:58:00.510 --> 00:58:05.090 character. And that is Kejo Kamal, father of 00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:07.590 the Crystal Network. Don't talk to him, either. 00:58:08.409 --> 00:58:12.789 Yes, yes. Very well. We shall not. Well, you 00:58:12.789 --> 00:58:15.750 may be off, Mary. I shall consult with Grunt. 00:58:18.309 --> 00:58:20.889 Okay. I think there's a lot of crashing noises. 00:58:22.010 --> 00:58:23.909 Sorry about that. Oh, no, no, no. And she bolts 00:58:23.909 --> 00:58:26.969 off in the direction of Pigman, where something's 00:58:26.969 --> 00:58:28.570 happening. Some crowd is cheering. Some people 00:58:28.570 --> 00:58:30.809 are screaming a little bit. Is it a blessing 00:58:30.809 --> 00:58:33.670 or a curse that Zebulon's not at this party? 00:58:33.989 --> 00:58:39.260 You know? I don't know. He would have been so 00:58:39.260 --> 00:58:42.340 much trouble here. It would have been a problem. 00:58:42.340 --> 00:58:45.280 We would be dead already. It would have been 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:47.239 a problem. He'd be goofing off with the pig, 00:58:47.300 --> 00:58:51.440 man. Eating all the food. He'd go immediately 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:53.440 to the table and eat all of the food. I don't 00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:56.440 know, man. Like, somebody comes up to Zebulon 00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:58.880 and says, hey, that's the founder of the Crystal 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.760 Network. Don't talk to that guy. He's going to 00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:04.940 talk to him. You know he's there instantly. You 00:59:04.940 --> 00:59:07.320 begin, so Jaune, like, goes to you, and as he's 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:08.500 talking to you, you see, like, there's a lot 00:59:08.500 --> 00:59:11.139 of figures, like, seem to note Jaune. Words are 00:59:11.139 --> 00:59:13.039 just spread around. I mean, he's an unknown. 00:59:13.179 --> 00:59:15.360 No one knew he was invited, and he's apparently 00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:18.059 got connections. So, like, you're going to be 00:59:18.059 --> 00:59:19.380 visiting. People are going to talk to you, and 00:59:19.380 --> 00:59:22.340 I think you realize that anonymity is just out. 00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:25.519 But Jaune sort of pushes off to the side, you 00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:26.719 know, maybe, like, get a little space with you, 00:59:26.739 --> 00:59:29.420 and very quietly just, well, what's our first 00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:32.760 step? I can talk the talk, but to whom and where? 00:59:33.659 --> 00:59:36.239 I'm sort of used to taking commands. I'm not 00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:40.659 sure. I'll leave that up to you. Ah, well, crackers. 00:59:40.900 --> 00:59:43.159 Not very good at that. Time to buck up, Buttercup. 00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:46.500 Oh, dear. Well... I know you got it in you. I 00:59:46.500 --> 00:59:49.360 suppose we could approach... And he's sort of, 00:59:49.380 --> 00:59:51.719 like, looking around. And then you hear, like, 00:59:51.739 --> 00:59:56.760 uh... Montelio, you say? Montelio! The crowd 00:59:56.760 --> 00:59:59.639 begins to part around you as a very large, rotund 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:03.000 figure begins to move in your direction. Big 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.000 red cheeks, big old sideburns that just have 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.159 no business on his face. Bald head, sweaty as 01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:14.139 hell already. Samuel LaRoche comes moving up 01:00:14.139 --> 01:00:20.940 to you. De Piero Montelio's son, are you? Samuel 01:00:20.940 --> 01:00:26.760 LaRoche, I believe we have business. He's just 01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:29.920 like jovial, shaking his hand, and his eyes sort 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:34.380 of flicker over to you. Dresden. Let's pan away 01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:39.500 from that. We'll pan away to one more solitary 01:00:39.500 --> 01:00:43.820 corner of this party, where Ramin moves out to 01:00:43.820 --> 01:00:47.719 the side, moves over to, like, the edge of the 01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:51.760 terrace, unseen. He's overwhelmed. He's scared. 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:53.619 He's looking around, eyes sort of darting, and 01:00:53.619 --> 01:00:56.000 he looks to the sky, and then he reaches to his 01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:00.420 pocket and very slowly pulls out something. Looks 01:01:00.420 --> 01:01:03.079 down at it through mostly clenched fingers. And 01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:04.820 as he stares down at the sending stone in his 01:01:04.820 --> 01:01:09.880 hand, he says, Please, send a miracle tonight. 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.159 And we'll call it there.
