WEBVTT

00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.179
Arrgh! We do love pirates here at Fancy Pants

00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:06.940
Studios. What with their peg legs and hooky hands.

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.599
Mostly, though, we love Danny Pirate. And shiver

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.460
me timbers, you should too. DannyPirateStudios

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:28.960
So set sail on the World Wide Web and visit DannyPirateStudios

00:00:28.960 --> 00:01:15.150
.com today. ARK. received their first luminary

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.609
mission from the speakers. Upon request from

00:01:17.609 --> 00:01:19.689
the world of Danatu, our two heroes have set

00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:21.909
off to investigate some disturbances to the wildlife

00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:24.810
of the dream. It seems that some of the world's

00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:27.329
notorious arachnid elements have been spotted

00:01:27.329 --> 00:01:29.810
far from their usual hunting grounds, and so

00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:32.090
observed and endangered fauna have been vanishing

00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:34.349
from the preserve. The local wardens, however,

00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:36.450
had a great deal of trouble getting to the bottom

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:39.109
of this caper, so the Council of Elronda has

00:01:39.109 --> 00:01:42.269
sent out a request for luminary assistance. Now,

00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:44.349
the situation I'm down to has certainly caused

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:46.510
for alarm, but this is Jules and Jean. We're

00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:49.750
putting on the case. I'm sure I'll go smooth

00:01:49.750 --> 00:01:52.510
as silk. That was a spider joke. You'll get it

00:01:52.510 --> 00:02:01.379
later. Really? I love that you unironically used

00:02:01.379 --> 00:02:06.159
the word caper in that. That's at least a five

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.020
-cent word, right? Let me get into it. Let me

00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:10.639
get into this. We're going to banter. We're going

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.159
to banter real soon. But first things first,

00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:17.120
let me dive into this shit. Welcome, everyone,

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.939
to Danitou. We've talked to a few of the worlds

00:02:20.939 --> 00:02:23.620
in the Concord and of the extraplanar phenomena

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:26.360
that seem to be changing them, in many cases,

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:29.560
threatening them. Worlds like God's Breath with

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.979
the ever -growing rattle, or Arnikek with the

00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:34.819
ever -strengthening ever -wins. But I think you

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:36.900
will agree that few worlds face a doomsday as

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:41.020
truly and abhorrently terrifying as Danatu. Because

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:45.659
Danatu has spiders. Gross. Oh yeah. Danatu is

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:48.879
actually quite similar to old God's Breath. The

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.699
main settlements of the world are dotted throughout

00:02:50.699 --> 00:02:53.340
rich forests and open plains. The world is...

00:02:53.610 --> 00:02:55.689
teeming with rich and varied wildlife, including

00:02:55.689 --> 00:03:00.289
many fascinating and unique species of flora

00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:03.830
and fauna. The speakers of the Radiant Sandale

00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:05.330
have worked with local governments to establish

00:03:05.330 --> 00:03:07.949
a large primary portion of the world as sort

00:03:07.949 --> 00:03:11.449
of a nature reserve. This area is known as the

00:03:11.449 --> 00:03:14.430
Dream. But, of course, where there are dreams,

00:03:14.610 --> 00:03:17.770
there are also nightmares. And much like God's

00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:19.870
Breath, the Shadowfell, the Plane of Nightmares,

00:03:19.949 --> 00:03:22.210
seems to linger at the fringes of this peaceful

00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:25.699
land. And it takes the form of spiders. Giant

00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:29.120
spiders. Supernaturally powerful spiders. Some

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.800
rumors even speak of spider -humanoid hybrids,

00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.800
the changed forms of those that have traveled

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.620
too far beyond the borders of the dream. Nobody

00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:39.960
knows exactly how many there are, but they are

00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.560
slowly destroying the balance of nature here,

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.020
moving deeper into the territory of the dream,

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.439
to hunt and to grow and spread. Some doomed speakers

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.939
will say that all of Danatu will someday be connected

00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:55.039
by the silken strands of the Predator's world

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.360
wide web. And it is here, on Danatu, amidst this

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.500
crisis, that we open up on this little story.

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:07.659
And we do so naturally, on a shot of a pub. Nestled

00:04:07.659 --> 00:04:09.340
in the shadows of some massive trees, connected

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:13.240
by a few slowly swaying rope bridges, is a little

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.259
brewpub. As we... Zoom down to the wooden structure.

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:20.040
We can see a sign resting above the door labeling

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.019
it as the drunken dingo. Hey, it's funny. It's

00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:27.139
cool. It's a gathering place for visitors to

00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:29.339
El Ronda. All right, we're in Australia. A mostly

00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:31.860
elven settlement. Stop it. Deep within the borders

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:34.160
of the dream. There's giant spiders. Stop it.

00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:38.319
I'm funny. Giant spiders and dingoes. I'm funny.

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:41.459
The locals. Keep to their canopy homes, whose

00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:43.800
lights can dot the branches of the trees above

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.839
like stars in a night sky, whilst travelers generally

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.680
keep to an assortment of inns, shops, and taverns

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.160
on the forest floor. Currently, sun shines through

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.279
the leaves speckling the roof of the drunken

00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.339
dingo. We pan inside through the, dare I say

00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:04.649
it, saloon doors. Where we see a quaint little

00:05:04.649 --> 00:05:07.370
place filled with the imagery of wild, strange

00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:11.029
animals. No hunting trophies, of course. Just

00:05:11.029 --> 00:05:14.329
images, paintings along the walls. And in one

00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:16.290
corner of the room, sitting at a table beneath

00:05:16.290 --> 00:05:18.769
a painting of some wild, magical beast called

00:05:18.769 --> 00:05:22.790
a kangaroo. Shut up, Steven. We see Blanche Trudeau.

00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:26.870
Blanche, you are currently holding a letter.

00:05:26.970 --> 00:05:29.149
One that you received just yesterday at your

00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:31.930
station in the Golden Bay of Nowari. Wow. You

00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:34.069
see, the March of Vice and therefore the Golden

00:05:34.069 --> 00:05:36.829
Bay Tournament are coming up swiftly, and so

00:05:36.829 --> 00:05:38.910
you had made plans to speak with Jean Franklin,

00:05:39.050 --> 00:05:42.069
your pupil, about a return to the world. Jean

00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:44.250
had agreed, but then sent this missive before

00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:46.430
the meeting date, explaining that he and Jules

00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:48.589
had been requested on the world of Danatu to

00:05:48.589 --> 00:05:51.529
deal with a potential spider situation. The letter

00:05:51.529 --> 00:05:53.329
mentioned that, should you still desire to meet,

00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:55.689
all the necessary documents would be filed to

00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:58.939
grant you passage to Danatu. Jean and Jules have

00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:00.879
a little more clout than post -Sunset Town they

00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.399
had before, so they can do that now. If you do

00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.939
decide to come, it says, they would meet you

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:10.199
at the Drunken Dingo at approximately 10 a .m.

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:14.180
this day. It is now 1 a .m., and they have not

00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:16.660
showed. The proprietor here remembers seeing

00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:19.660
them yesterday. They had mentioned between Jean's

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.500
complaints about the dingo and how dirty it was

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:23.540
that they were going to scout things out and

00:06:23.540 --> 00:06:26.100
return that night, and they never came back.

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:29.759
It has become completely clear to you, Blanche,

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:32.220
that something has likely happened to the two.

00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:37.019
So what is your plan? Well, Blanche is going

00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:42.899
to, at the dingo, ask around and try to see if

00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:47.699
anybody has seen or heard of Jaune and Jules

00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:51.740
in the area. Try to get some clues as to where

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.500
they may be. You stand up. Looking around, you've

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.500
got a little information, but maybe there's more.

00:06:57.579 --> 00:07:00.000
You can get a general direction, something, anything.

00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:04.180
I'm looking for two luminaries. You yell this

00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:06.899
out and you hear a sound, almost as if your voice

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:11.300
summoning it of, I love them, saloon doors. What

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:12.899
other kind of doors are there? I will never make

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:15.360
a sound for those. Thank you, please. Just because

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.600
you love it so much. Blanche, you turn around

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.019
to face that sound and see that a new figure

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:22.649
has just pushed through these doors. As your

00:07:22.649 --> 00:07:25.089
eyes fall on this figure, they alight with recognition.

00:07:25.910 --> 00:07:28.850
Someone Blanche knows quite well, but hasn't

00:07:28.850 --> 00:07:33.889
seen in some years. Your fellow pupil under the

00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:37.970
tutelage of the storm eye. Luminary Emin Roth,

00:07:38.370 --> 00:07:43.930
who perhaps recognizes you and says, Are we ready

00:07:43.930 --> 00:07:51.660
to rumble? Welcome back, Stomp! Yeehaw! Hey.

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.600
Was that too loud? Yeah. Damn it. Too loud's

00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.740
great. Too loud's great tonight. This is a celebration.

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.379
We got really far back for it. I tried. I'm so

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:04.079
excited. Oh, I'm so excited. This is going to

00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.259
be so stupid, everyone. I'm so stoked. We're

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:08.360
going to have so much fun tonight. That's what

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.680
we did. We're having fun. Oh, I'm so stoked.

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.279
Welcome back, Stomp. Thank you. Yeah, I'm glad

00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.279
to be here. Thanks for inviting me. Absolutely.

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:19.360
Absolutely. Oh, North Country. Yes. Yeah, here

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.379
we are. It's been a while. It's been a while

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:23.160
since we've had you on the show. Yeah, it has

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.819
been a while. Yeah. I wore my thermals and just

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:30.860
in case. And Stephen's gigantic halo face light

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:33.159
above his head is keeping me warm too. Yeah.

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.720
We're trying to figure out the best spot to put

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.700
that so we can start to do video. We're going

00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:41.100
to make it a little better. It's quite glaring

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:43.700
in the video. It was a silhouette against the

00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:46.879
light when we tried. It was something else. Speaking

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.960
of Steven, to catch you up, Zebulon's dead. He

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.960
died. And Steven's now playing a turtle. Portal.

00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.700
I think that's it. That's everything? Yeah, that's

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:02.519
it. That's exactly it. That's what happened in

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.980
the last 30 episodes. Interesting. Now, does

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:10.110
this turtle have a lisp? No, no, this tortle

00:09:10.110 --> 00:09:12.590
has no speech impediments, just a little bit

00:09:12.590 --> 00:09:15.970
of a nasally voice. We're going for a Marge Simpson,

00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:20.669
right? Sexy Marge Simpson. Older, sexier Marge

00:09:20.669 --> 00:09:26.929
Simpson. That's what I do imagine. Oh, you won't

00:09:26.929 --> 00:09:29.549
have to for long. I didn't have a token for it.

00:09:29.570 --> 00:09:31.009
Just you wait till we get into combat. It's great.

00:09:32.509 --> 00:09:35.830
Well, that's sad, but did you have a grieving

00:09:35.830 --> 00:09:38.690
period? Oh, we certainly did. Yeah, there was

00:09:38.690 --> 00:09:42.549
music and everything. Yeah, there were tears

00:09:42.549 --> 00:09:45.870
for sure between us on the show and honestly

00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:48.169
people who listened. We had a lot of people reach

00:09:48.169 --> 00:09:51.889
out and say, yeah, I actually shed tears over

00:09:51.889 --> 00:09:54.769
Zebulon. Wow. Yeah, it was wild. Interesting.

00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:56.929
I'm still waiting for my co -host to kick it.

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:02.919
Just kidding. Bink is a lively little fella.

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.059
Who knows if we'll ever nail him down long enough

00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:09.259
to kill him. Yeah, he's too fast. He's very nimble.

00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:16.259
We miss you, Bink. Oh, man. Man, this is awesome.

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:19.360
Before we get into anything, there's a giant

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.000
box just sitting here in the middle of the table.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.179
Big box. Steven's murder knife is there. What's

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:26.539
going on with that murder knife box? It's my

00:10:26.539 --> 00:10:28.940
murder knife. Oh, sorry. He's the murderer, so

00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:32.500
I get confused. That's true. That's true. Mrs.

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:37.519
Stomp would be like, oh, my God. PTSD. Her daily

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.100
life. She sees these boxes too much. Yeah, we

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:44.080
got a box from friend of the show, Captain. Oh,

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:47.659
the Captain. The Captain, yeah. It's mail time,

00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:53.200
baby. Mail time! Yes! Oh! Nice. I remembered

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.840
which button it was on because I looked just

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.620
before we started recording. We got a mail time

00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:01.419
drop. We haven't heard that in a while. Give

00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:05.480
me some more. One more. Yeah. Let me soak it

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:10.220
in. I love it. What is this? I want to look at

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:13.059
it, but my mouth has to face my mic. No. Oh,

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.940
my God. Oh, dear Lord. This is scary. What is

00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:22.399
this thing? The captain built and sent us what

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:27.080
he is calling the port. Oh, look, it's beautiful.

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:31.399
It is the biggest dice tower I have ever seen.

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:34.980
What the fuck? Painted in the exact opposite

00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:38.039
of the fantasy pants colors. Dude. Instead of

00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.059
blue and gold, this thing is painted in red and

00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:44.379
silver. Oh, you're doing Gabby on there. That's

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:46.460
so nice. That's beautiful. Respect the colors.

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:50.500
What's the skull and crossbones something Jolly

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:54.159
Jack thing? Jolly Roger? Jolly Roger. Jolly Roger.

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:57.679
There's a Jolly Roger on either side with horseshoes

00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.039
and a natural one. Horseshoes. There's a 32.

00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.639
What's a 32? What's a 32? Oh, we're going to

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.860
have to dig into this. There's a middle finger

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:08.019
in the back that says Evil Incorporated and Captain

00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:09.980
Approved. There is a middle finger on the back.

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:12.320
Captain, you son of a bitch. Stephen just exploded

00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.240
the bike. Captain Approved. Giant middle finger.

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:20.080
Evil Incorporated. There's a frown. Yeah, there's

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.440
a frown in the center of the skull and crossbones.

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:26.360
Yeah, and 32. With a couple of 32s. Interesting.

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:29.600
And all of our names painted on it. This is amazing.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.019
Jeremy, Steve, and David. I feel like I can feel

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:36.220
the good juju getting sucked out of me as I hold

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:37.980
it. So I'm passing it off to David now. I feel

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:42.179
this beautiful, nasty boy. Captain. It's even

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:44.500
got fluff. That's beautiful. Thank you. You outdid

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:46.340
yourself. In the bottom of it. That is beautiful.

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:51.220
It's beautiful. Oh, wow. Wow. It's tacky. It

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:55.059
was just painted. He may be outside. He may be

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:58.039
nearby. I can't get over the middle finger. Dude,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.379
am I going to kill these characters on a side

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:02.860
mission now that I have this new power? It's

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:06.879
terrifying. Awesome. Oh, man. It's like having

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.179
a fifth person in the room. I'm still stuck on

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:11.700
that 32, though. I'm curious about the 32. We're

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:13.960
going to dive into it. We'll dive in. I'll message

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:15.600
him and ask him what that's all about. Between

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.470
weeks. Anybody can figure it out. Let us know.

00:13:19.190 --> 00:13:23.070
Whoever figs out in the Discord gets Steven's

00:13:23.070 --> 00:13:27.649
ponytail, so just do it. It's a new giveaway

00:13:27.649 --> 00:13:30.210
contest situation. Here, use the murder knife

00:13:30.210 --> 00:13:33.149
to cut it off. I'd be delighted. Right now. Right

00:13:33.149 --> 00:13:35.009
here, right now. Go. They need to earn it. Y

00:13:35.009 --> 00:13:40.370
'all aren't strong enough. I mean, we got three

00:13:40.370 --> 00:13:42.929
of us here, so I don't care. This is insane.

00:13:43.090 --> 00:13:45.049
I need to put this in perspective right now.

00:13:45.710 --> 00:13:49.070
Tonight we have Stomp here to help save the day.

00:13:49.629 --> 00:13:52.470
We have a battle map from Sound Puke Hero, one

00:13:52.470 --> 00:13:54.389
that I basically asked her to make, and she made

00:13:54.389 --> 00:13:56.409
it within an hour. It's incredible. It's super

00:13:56.409 --> 00:13:59.090
cool. New map. Oh, nice. Dude, new map. This

00:13:59.090 --> 00:14:01.049
is all kind of on the fly, and I kind of threw

00:14:01.049 --> 00:14:03.950
it at her way too late, and she delivered like

00:14:03.950 --> 00:14:06.049
crazy because she always does. You'll be seeing

00:14:06.049 --> 00:14:08.309
that a little later. I'm also going to be ruling.

00:14:08.649 --> 00:14:12.070
Rolling my gold vein dice from Zoo Beard. Just

00:14:12.070 --> 00:14:14.409
got them right here. I'm rolling them in a tower

00:14:14.409 --> 00:14:16.769
from the captain. A brand new amazing tower.

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:20.330
The Port of Pain. Yeah. And also, this is true.

00:14:20.470 --> 00:14:23.029
I have a baddie I'm running tonight designed

00:14:23.029 --> 00:14:26.980
by Hooli Forge. What? Yeah. Yeah, thank you,

00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:28.500
Andrew. We are all working on some other cool

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:30.799
stuff together now, too, as well. Is that allowed?

00:14:31.059 --> 00:14:32.720
That's wild. Oh, yeah, it's allowed. Are we going

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.860
to allow this? Oh, yeah. It's going to happen,

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:38.039
whether we want it to or not. Dude, it's amazing.

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.120
This show is built on the community, and that

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.740
is unreal cool. Hey, pants people. Pants people.

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:49.000
Revolt. No, I'm not doing that anymore. I've

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.779
seen the stuff that Andrew, a .k .a. WhoTheForge,

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:55.179
puts in the Discord. Yeah. I don't know if...

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.200
Like, this is dangerous. We're going to die tonight.

00:14:57.379 --> 00:15:01.080
We're going to have fun. This could be it. When

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.240
are you going to christen this thing? Tonight.

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:05.679
Tonight. I'm not doing it now. No, you're just

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.220
going to wait? I'll do it in combat. You're going

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:10.139
to... All right. I'm not rule for nothing. I'm

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:11.820
a serious dungeon master. I just want to hear

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:14.000
it. You can wait. You can hear it before you

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:18.460
die. It's the last thing you'll ever hear. Is

00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:21.259
that what they call a hook? Is that a hook? You're

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:23.200
going to have to listen if you want to hear the

00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.120
dice. Through the new dice tower. Yeah, that'll

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.759
be next week's sneak peek. So back to the pub.

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:36.100
You've been spending some time back in your home

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:38.480
world of Moor, back in the Silver Hills, where

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.240
you just ended a plot by the snake eater poaching

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.960
organization that threatened your local giant

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.580
goat population. The goats. You've got to save

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:48.759
the goats. Got to save the goat. Some crazy stuff

00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.460
probably happened. I think we have it on record

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:52.639
that you fought a troll at some point. And you

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.519
actually now have a magical sword. It's in your

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.500
inventory. The details of that sword are fully

00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:00.360
up to you. Is it cool? Very cool, very cool.

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.460
I love it. It's nice to be home, too. Yes. You're

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:07.240
also a little five now. With that mission having

00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.840
been wrapped up, you have come to Danatu for

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.340
one very simple reason. You have gained intel

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:16.100
that a major player in the Snake Eaters is here.

00:16:16.509 --> 00:16:19.789
In this region. This individual is particularly

00:16:19.789 --> 00:16:23.389
talented in the arts of beast taming. And so

00:16:23.389 --> 00:16:25.330
it may be that they are connected to the strange

00:16:25.330 --> 00:16:27.450
movements of these rumored giant spiders who

00:16:27.450 --> 00:16:29.610
are encroaching upon way deeper in the dream

00:16:29.610 --> 00:16:31.850
in this nature preserve than they should be.

00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:36.190
And you've heard that your old buddy Jules LaRoche

00:16:36.190 --> 00:16:39.470
is here investigating the same thing. You heard

00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:41.649
he has been frequenting this establishment, and

00:16:41.649 --> 00:16:44.139
so you stopped by here to find him. Bink, your

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.080
sidekick is currently undergoing a heist. I mean,

00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.720
a mission of his own. Fully legal. Nothing going

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.120
on there. Fully legal. You're on your own. Maybe

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.440
it's good to pick up some help. You step in here

00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.360
looking for jewels. Instead, you are faced with

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.679
someone else. Someone from your more distant

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:07.140
past. Another disciple of the Big O. Fellow trainee

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:13.380
swordsman, Blanche Trudeau. Oh, boy. The crew's

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:18.680
together. I'm looking for two luminaries. And

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.059
you see each other. What? Is it you? I'm in wrath.

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.339
Now that's a face I haven't seen in many moons.

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:34.440
Yes, yes, well. It's wonderful to see you, my

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.539
friend. Blanche walks over and holds out a hand.

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:39.259
She wants to do one of those, like, cool, like,

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:43.039
forearm handshakes. You know, like, only people

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.500
who have trained in battle together can really

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:51.480
do cool. Oh, beautiful. Well, what brings you

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.779
here? I'm, uh, I'm searching for Jules LaRoche

00:17:56.779 --> 00:18:01.380
and Jean Franklin. I heard they were here, but

00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:07.720
the communication has fallen short. Oh, all right.

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.839
I have not seen them either. We shall look. But

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.460
how have your studies been at the Citadel? Wow.

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:17.359
Have you continued your studies? I have, certainly.

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:23.259
Since we last met at Master Ozanyoshikasu's dojo,

00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:27.460
I've become the, well, I'm quite proud to say

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:32.349
the... Defender of the Golden Bay. The master

00:18:32.349 --> 00:18:37.450
of defense. I protect the world. Not the world.

00:18:39.549 --> 00:18:42.069
It's not the city either. It's really just the

00:18:42.069 --> 00:18:43.950
bay, isn't it? It's what they call it. The turtles

00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:46.529
have a very romantic way of naming things. There's

00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:48.190
actually, I forgot what it was, but in the episode,

00:18:48.250 --> 00:18:50.450
there's another term for it that's the more technical

00:18:50.450 --> 00:18:53.130
term, but turtles don't use that. To them, it's

00:18:53.130 --> 00:18:55.930
the Golden Bay, the nine pools. They just like

00:18:55.930 --> 00:18:59.910
to use over -romanticized. They're kind of Shakespearean.

00:18:59.970 --> 00:19:03.109
I don't know. Oh, I see. And in whatever flowery

00:19:03.109 --> 00:19:05.109
language you'd like to say it, I am the defender,

00:19:05.289 --> 00:19:08.490
the master of the fence of the Golden Bay. And

00:19:08.490 --> 00:19:11.230
Jean Franklin, who I understand you have met

00:19:11.230 --> 00:19:16.309
before, is my pupil, once as you and I were ozens.

00:19:16.849 --> 00:19:21.670
Mm -hmm. Well, what a timely encounter. And of

00:19:21.670 --> 00:19:25.369
yourself, what have you been up to? Oh, I can't

00:19:25.369 --> 00:19:28.069
wait. Don't remind me. Don't remind me. I've

00:19:28.069 --> 00:19:30.970
been chasing those earth eaters, those bottom

00:19:30.970 --> 00:19:34.750
dwellers, those mud humpers, as long as I can

00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:38.250
remember. The mud humpers? Yes, yes, the snake

00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:40.970
eaters. And you know they gather around the pillar,

00:19:41.109 --> 00:19:43.609
especially during the sunlight. They sound at

00:19:43.609 --> 00:19:46.390
least dangerous. Yes, yes, yes. I've been honing

00:19:46.390 --> 00:19:50.269
my bushcraft and my hunting skills. Because,

00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:53.730
you know, at the Citadel, you know, they focus

00:19:53.730 --> 00:20:00.440
so heavily upon mayhem and battle, but they don't

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.900
really hone in on hunting and things of that

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:08.440
nature. And Blanche puts a hand on M and Rath's

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.079
shoulder and pulls them. And they're here, these

00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:16.400
earth humpers there. Have you tracked them here?

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:22.900
As a matter of fact, yes. They're spreading like

00:20:22.900 --> 00:20:28.759
wildfire. And something like, kidnapping, do

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:32.460
you think it could be connected with the disappearance

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:36.500
of Jules and Jeanne? Absolutely. Yes, that's

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:40.519
my running theory at the moment. I'm very pleased

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.900
that you're here. I'm hoping that we can work

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:47.140
together and combine our efforts and hopefully

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:50.900
we can both get something out of this. Yes, yes.

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:52.759
Well, I will teach you what I know about hunting.

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.759
It's very important. It comes in time. Very well.

00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:59.740
And with your skill in tracking and hunting and

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:02.680
my skill in battlefield management and control,

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:08.180
then I think that we can fuck these earth humpers.

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.579
Absolutely. I have learned some very unique skills.

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.400
Very unique. This is how you catch them. You

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:25.349
knee up on them. Oh, God. No. No. It's very,

00:21:25.430 --> 00:21:31.490
very simple. Very unique. Straight to the point.

00:21:32.950 --> 00:21:41.130
Do you recognize any faces here in the bar? Is

00:21:41.130 --> 00:21:44.549
there any place in particular? Any person we

00:21:44.549 --> 00:21:49.150
should start questioning? I must admit, I've

00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:51.569
just arrived here. I have no information to go

00:21:51.569 --> 00:21:53.329
off of. I don't know who to speak to. Perhaps

00:21:53.329 --> 00:21:59.049
the proprietor or the barkeep? I have a suggestion,

00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:02.609
if it's helpful. Yes. You can take this any direction

00:22:02.609 --> 00:22:05.970
you want to, but you do, you get to burn a slot

00:22:05.970 --> 00:22:07.990
for it, but you do have a spell in the wrath.

00:22:08.329 --> 00:22:11.430
That actually goes very well with your new training

00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:14.970
in hunting and survival. This is a spell called

00:22:14.970 --> 00:22:18.349
Locate Plants or Animals. And with this spell,

00:22:18.470 --> 00:22:21.609
if you specify basically a beast and you can

00:22:21.609 --> 00:22:25.369
sort of describe it, you can sort of feel the

00:22:25.369 --> 00:22:27.250
earth. You can feel sort of the presence of nature.

00:22:27.390 --> 00:22:31.369
And the closest one of these would be alerted

00:22:31.369 --> 00:22:34.230
to you. Now, if it's true that they're utilizing

00:22:34.230 --> 00:22:36.289
these giant spiders that should be far on the

00:22:36.289 --> 00:22:39.349
borders. and they are closer than they should

00:22:39.349 --> 00:22:42.670
be, then perhaps the closest one is wherever

00:22:42.670 --> 00:22:45.930
the hub of this activity is. That's right. It's

00:22:45.930 --> 00:22:49.569
a possibility. Okay, okay. It's one way. Is there

00:22:49.569 --> 00:22:52.990
any way that I could perhaps, if Emon Wrath decides

00:22:52.990 --> 00:22:55.049
to use this spell, is there any way that I could

00:22:55.049 --> 00:23:00.490
provide the help action using my new eyes of

00:23:00.490 --> 00:23:04.529
minute seeing? Oh, that would make sense. I'll

00:23:04.529 --> 00:23:06.630
give you this because the spell itself works

00:23:06.630 --> 00:23:09.470
automatically. Okay. But the eyes, because you

00:23:09.470 --> 00:23:10.670
have those and you brought that up and that's

00:23:10.670 --> 00:23:12.609
really cool, I'll give you extra information

00:23:12.609 --> 00:23:15.250
if you are sort of on the trail of something,

00:23:15.329 --> 00:23:17.529
what you might see on the way. Kind of a passive

00:23:17.529 --> 00:23:19.650
investigation bonus. Okay. I think that's cool.

00:23:19.769 --> 00:23:22.569
Yeah, so that gives me advantage on investigation

00:23:22.569 --> 00:23:26.900
checks. Okay. All right, let's do it. Cool. Actually,

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:29.140
that means you have a plus five to your passive

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:30.700
investigation always. I don't know if it's on

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:31.980
your sheet, but keep that in mind. It is not.

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:34.019
Okay, keep that in mind. You always have a plus

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:36.259
five passive investigation. That's... Are you

00:23:36.259 --> 00:23:38.519
sure? That's awesome. Because right now it says

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.660
14 for passive investigation. Holy shit. Are

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:44.579
you telling me the Blanche has a 19 passive investigation?

00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:48.640
I believe you do. That's... sick blanche is a

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.599
detective now so you're a full detective that's

00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:52.680
right yeah um we should touch this before real

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:54.720
quick what did you buy a store during your time

00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:56.519
you have the eyes now you have the broom of flying

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.519
we touched on that um after after the last arc

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.779
and you had some money i believe you spent some

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:05.259
correct i spent some i didn't spend much of it

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:08.930
i i so I mean, work has been crazy. Blah, blah,

00:24:08.950 --> 00:24:14.730
blah. Excuses, excuses. I bought two greater

00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:18.450
potions of healing at 100 gold apiece. And using

00:24:18.450 --> 00:24:23.990
Eatsman Del Prado's spell book, I spent 150 gold

00:24:23.990 --> 00:24:29.730
to add three spells to my spell book. Okay. Cool.

00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:32.369
And that's it so far. I'm hoping to do more soon

00:24:32.369 --> 00:24:35.109
because I still have a boatload of gold left.

00:24:35.289 --> 00:24:38.680
All right. All right. So if that's the direction

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:40.059
you want to go, if you want to use that spell,

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.039
that may help you hone in on where you need to

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:46.160
go next. Yeah, let's do that. Okay. So what's

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:47.579
it look like? You close your eyes. You're trying

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:50.960
to feel nature. What does Amon Rath look like

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.480
when he's feeling out into the natural energies

00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.640
that surround us all? The mind goes blank. Everything

00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.259
goes dark. And I fall deep, deep, deep into the

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:04.299
earth until I start to feel the vibrations of

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:07.940
the deep inner earth. I love that. Yes. It's

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:10.400
like a spider feeling the vibrations on its web,

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.200
using their enemy's tactics against them, and

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.940
you feel... Everything is sound and vibration.

00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.920
Oh, it's awesome. And when you're tapping into

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.420
the deep, deep layers of the earth, it reveals

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:26.299
many, many things. You reach out, and you feel

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:30.579
them. You feel a direction, northwest, and you

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:33.480
feel a location, a distance, approximately two

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.859
and a half... miles, one of these giant spires,

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.799
something that fits this description, lurks.

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:44.579
You can vaguely make it out crawling in some

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:47.279
wall, into some sort of cavern, in some dark,

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:52.220
dank place. I can see tracks. You know the way?

00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.519
In the mud, yes. You know the way. We have it.

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.079
We have it. We have a location and a destination.

00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.000
How? How could you possibly? Incredible. It's

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.980
so cool. So cool. Blanche unsheathes her sword

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:14.759
and then sheathes it again. Let's go. What a

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:22.099
display. Oh, my God. Oh, man. And do you go?

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.619
Let's go. Northwest, you said? You say Northwest?

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.779
Northwest? Two and a half miles. I think that's

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:32.319
one of Will Smith's daughter's names or something.

00:26:34.889 --> 00:26:38.630
Northwest? It's so you travel. Outside of the

00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:42.470
drunken dingo and into the wilds. And from here,

00:26:42.569 --> 00:26:45.250
we're going to cut to somewhere else. Montana

00:26:45.250 --> 00:26:50.170
2. Somewhere decidedly different. Darker. Can

00:26:50.170 --> 00:26:53.470
you give us one roll, David? No. You can wait.

00:26:53.750 --> 00:26:55.730
I want it so bad. You can wait. You're going

00:26:55.730 --> 00:26:58.549
to not want it when it happens. Trust me. This

00:26:58.549 --> 00:27:00.970
thing and me, we're going to do nasty things

00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:04.369
together. I know that you have the gold vein

00:27:04.369 --> 00:27:08.529
dice prepped and ready to go. And honestly, I'm

00:27:08.529 --> 00:27:11.450
all here for it. You want me to use the captain's

00:27:11.450 --> 00:27:14.069
full metal? I mean, come on. There's some poetry

00:27:14.069 --> 00:27:18.250
there. I think at least the first die roll has

00:27:18.250 --> 00:27:21.529
to be the captain's full metal die that he gifted

00:27:21.529 --> 00:27:26.250
us on the... No, I agree. Port -O -Pain. I agree.

00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:28.069
We'll use the full metal dice in the Port -O

00:27:28.069 --> 00:27:30.910
-Pain. Use the thing that's full power to start

00:27:30.910 --> 00:27:36.750
off. Steven, what have you done? I get it. I

00:27:36.750 --> 00:27:41.269
know that I'm dooming us. But it's poetic. Yeah.

00:27:41.529 --> 00:27:44.670
It's poetic and I need to hear the sound. If

00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:46.750
there's one way I want to go out, it's by the

00:27:46.750 --> 00:27:49.650
captain's dice. Through the captain's tower.

00:27:49.769 --> 00:27:52.430
Through the captain's tower. The gallows. A .K

00:27:52.430 --> 00:27:55.730
.A. the gallows. It looks like a gallows. For

00:27:55.730 --> 00:28:00.410
real. That red looks like blood. Speaking of...

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:03.460
Blood and gallows. There's none of that here,

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:06.440
but it's grim and dark, and this place is also

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:09.660
grim and dark where we're going. I did it. Nailed

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:12.960
it. We are deep within a cave, opening up onto

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:17.359
a cavern maybe 20 by 25 feet wide. While no light

00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:19.339
shines in from the outside world, for we are

00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:21.640
deep beneath the earth, there is an ambient glow

00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.299
giving form to the scene, emanating from a great

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:28.250
painting that spreads across one wall. We see

00:28:28.250 --> 00:28:31.190
some kind of gigantic serpentine creature, formed

00:28:31.190 --> 00:28:34.769
as if by multicolored lights of a rainbow. Storm

00:28:34.769 --> 00:28:38.609
clouds linger beneath its bulk, whilst sun shines

00:28:38.609 --> 00:28:42.089
overhead. Perhaps long ago this room was some

00:28:42.089 --> 00:28:47.509
kind of altar. Now, however, it serves simply

00:28:47.509 --> 00:28:50.769
as a prison. Thick webs run along the walls here,

00:28:50.950 --> 00:28:53.049
and beneath the light of this painting a form

00:28:53.049 --> 00:28:56.160
struggles within a cocoon of this web. We can

00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:01.099
only hear the muffled, and vaguely see the turtle

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:05.940
shell bulk of a captured Jean Franklin. And we

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:13.339
hear footsteps approach. The turtle freezes in

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:17.920
place as their light step moves up just before

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:23.859
him. And then, just over this cocoon, Jules LaRoche

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:28.579
appears from invisibility. It was over 24 hours

00:29:28.579 --> 00:29:31.019
ago, Jules, that the two of you were ambushed

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:34.000
by some kind of invisible, maybe teleporting

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.019
spiders? You're not sure. You were just scouting

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:37.980
this area when they appeared out of nowhere.

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:41.420
Your quick thinking and Jaune's selfless act

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:44.099
of distraction led to your own escape and his

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:47.000
capture. You could have left, could have found

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.339
help, but that would have risked losing Jaune

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:53.150
as the monsters dragged him away. Instead, you

00:29:53.150 --> 00:29:57.029
have had to wait and watch, follow and hide,

00:29:57.069 --> 00:30:00.130
slowly working your way after them and deep into

00:30:00.130 --> 00:30:02.970
the bowels of their lair. Thankfully, this cave

00:30:02.970 --> 00:30:06.529
seems quite empty now. Most of the spiders, as

00:30:06.529 --> 00:30:08.869
well as whatever thing has been commanding them,

00:30:08.950 --> 00:30:12.730
are gone. You do know that someone else is living

00:30:12.730 --> 00:30:16.150
here. You've seen camp supplies, most notably

00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:18.970
cooking supplies, littering this deeper cave.

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.119
There's one room close by where much of the space

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.400
has been turned into a makeshift kitchen. The

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.660
smell of spices so strong down this deep beneath

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:30.200
the earth. It's certainly a matter of some concern,

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:32.880
but not your priority, I imagine, when you have

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.900
finally found a chance to save your luminary

00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:39.180
partner. What are you doing? All right, describe

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:41.920
how he's bound up again. He's just like a full

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.980
cocoon kind of against the ground. So you're

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:46.220
right up kind of standing over him. He's kind

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:49.420
of like hunched over. Yeah. Is it something that

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:51.440
I could easily just slice open? I think it takes

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.480
time, but you could slice it open. You got your

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.299
rapier. You always have it. I think at this point,

00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.980
Jules is going to do just that. Okay. This figure

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:03.519
is sort of frozen. They begin to start cutting

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:08.099
through that. Yeah. What are you? Oh, Jules.

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:16.150
It's you. I'm sorry. Go. Some time passes and

00:31:16.150 --> 00:31:18.849
we see eventually the form of Jaune kind of still

00:31:18.849 --> 00:31:24.049
pulling strands off his skin. Gross. Disgusting.

00:31:24.170 --> 00:31:29.670
Shut the fuck up. It's okay. It was gross. I'll

00:31:29.670 --> 00:31:31.390
throw you in the coyote if you don't shut up.

00:31:31.630 --> 00:31:34.630
No, no. All right. Fine, fine. Well, this has

00:31:34.630 --> 00:31:38.329
been a disaster already, but good show. You found

00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:42.309
me. Thank you. I knew you'd come. I did. Jaune,

00:31:42.329 --> 00:31:49.890
I always got you. Okay, yes, Kosa, yes. You are

00:31:49.890 --> 00:31:54.210
deep, deep, deep underground. You know this chamber.

00:31:54.369 --> 00:31:55.950
You've went through this cave once. You know

00:31:55.950 --> 00:32:00.089
somewhat the way back. You know it's not a huge

00:32:00.089 --> 00:32:02.069
cave. It's a sort of twisting tunnel that can

00:32:02.069 --> 00:32:05.089
lead you out. It's all kind of like moving up,

00:32:05.190 --> 00:32:10.029
up, uphill. If you're careful, and if Jean shuts

00:32:10.029 --> 00:32:13.170
up, you might be able to sneak out of here unnoticed.

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.559
Is there enough light where we can actually vision?

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:20.039
What's vision like? It's dark. Fuck. This room

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:21.880
has some ambient light. There's a couple spaces

00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.839
throughout the cave that have some dim light,

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:26.339
but there are also patches of pure darkness on

00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:28.740
the way. You have the light cantrip, I know,

00:32:28.819 --> 00:32:31.279
but there's a risk. Yeah, and that was going

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:33.799
to be my next question. Did I notice anything

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:36.819
on the way down here that would hinder my ability

00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:40.599
to use the light? Are there others stationed

00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:44.339
at different points? I will say you noticed nothing

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:47.579
on the way down, but you also noticed nothing

00:32:47.579 --> 00:32:51.019
when you were out scouting. The area seems so

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:53.220
secure. The things, they just kind of were on

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:55.700
top of you out of nowhere. You don't fully understand

00:32:55.700 --> 00:32:57.980
how it happened still. For all you know, they

00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:00.119
could be here invisible. For all you know, they

00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.740
could teleport in from nowhere. You're not sure

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:06.819
what happened. Unless you want to roll me an

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:10.970
Arcana check. I shall. All right. I'll also allow

00:33:10.970 --> 00:33:12.769
an Arcana check from Jean Franklin if you wish

00:33:12.769 --> 00:33:16.470
to roll one, Steven. Yeah, it'll take me a hot

00:33:16.470 --> 00:33:20.190
minute to pull up his sheet. Take a turn. And

00:33:20.190 --> 00:33:25.170
that will be a 17 for Jules. That's pretty good,

00:33:25.210 --> 00:33:27.589
Jules. 16 on the die, plus one. I think Jean

00:33:27.589 --> 00:33:30.990
rolls Arcana Untrained at a plus zero, right?

00:33:31.369 --> 00:33:34.869
It's his Intelligence. Oh, okay. Great. Then

00:33:34.869 --> 00:33:39.900
plus two. Yep. Natural one. For Jean Franklin

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:46.740
de Montelio. Okay. Okay. So Jean's just, those

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:49.079
things that, they're obviously demons of some

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:50.759
sort. I don't know what they are. Perhaps if

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.640
we could just, and just, you gotta shush him,

00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:54.380
because you know what these are. You know what

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:58.480
these are. They are very rare creatures. Almost

00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.400
unheard of, but there have been reports of them

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.980
rarely coming in from the borders on Danatu.

00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:07.410
They're called phase spiders. These powerful

00:34:07.410 --> 00:34:09.690
giant spiders have some inherent energy that

00:34:09.690 --> 00:34:12.829
allows them to travel between this realm and

00:34:12.829 --> 00:34:15.849
the ethereal realm, the plane that kind of lingers

00:34:15.849 --> 00:34:17.530
just over everything else, almost like they're

00:34:17.530 --> 00:34:19.329
jumping to a different wavelength of reality.

00:34:19.929 --> 00:34:23.269
They can see you, they can hunt you, and they

00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:25.050
can appear anywhere. They could be anywhere.

00:34:25.349 --> 00:34:27.389
You've had to be very, very, very careful going

00:34:27.389 --> 00:34:29.369
through this place, making sure that none are

00:34:29.369 --> 00:34:31.409
about to appear, watching each room you go through

00:34:31.409 --> 00:34:34.309
for a long time until you know that it's clear.

00:34:35.359 --> 00:34:37.139
These things are horrifying. Yeah, I mean, so

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:38.800
they could be trailing us this whole time. They're

00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:42.880
jump scare monsters. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. I hate

00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.900
this world. I designed it, and I hate it. Yeah,

00:34:46.019 --> 00:34:50.059
I can't think of anything else to do other than

00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:53.760
try and continue. You can work very carefully,

00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:56.719
very slowly in the darkness. You somewhat know

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:58.380
the way. You've been following the walls. You've

00:34:58.380 --> 00:35:01.039
been being very careful. Or you can turn on the

00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.170
light and go a bit quicker. You thought it was

00:35:04.170 --> 00:35:06.530
all fun and games, didn't you? All goofy, goofy

00:35:06.530 --> 00:35:08.690
clown time. Just stop here. That's not true.

00:35:08.730 --> 00:35:12.250
I'm scary. I'll hit you with emotional whiplash

00:35:12.250 --> 00:35:16.349
so fast. Well, I've got a quick question. No

00:35:16.349 --> 00:35:19.989
one cares. It's not your turn. Fine. That's why

00:35:19.989 --> 00:35:24.050
I'm keeping quiet. Yeah. I can't do it anymore.

00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:30.110
Stop. How do we feel about off -screen purchase

00:35:30.110 --> 00:35:34.849
of wondrous items? That is totally allowable.

00:35:35.130 --> 00:35:36.769
How much? If you can buy it, if you can afford

00:35:36.769 --> 00:35:39.489
it, yeah. Well, that's the thing. I'm searching

00:35:39.489 --> 00:35:42.130
on the computer trying to figure out what the

00:35:42.130 --> 00:35:45.789
cost is for Goggles of Night. I'll give you Goggles

00:35:45.789 --> 00:35:53.110
of Night for 450. Whoa. 450 gold pieces? That's

00:35:53.110 --> 00:35:54.869
very valuable. Darkvision's pretty awesome. Yeah,

00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:57.309
it is. Good thing my character's not on screen

00:35:57.309 --> 00:35:59.110
yet. I'm going to take some time to think about

00:35:59.110 --> 00:36:00.550
it. It's going to look really stupid when you

00:36:00.550 --> 00:36:02.699
have goggles over your glasses. No, no, no, no,

00:36:02.780 --> 00:36:06.300
no. The glasses of minute seeing would go over

00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:10.219
the goggles. That's even dumber. Oh, no. I can't

00:36:10.219 --> 00:36:19.820
say. Jules, what you doing? Fuck. And where are

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:22.800
we? I'm sorry. So where are we at the moment?

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.900
I'll tell you guys. Not together yet. Not together

00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:29.320
yet. All right. So my thinking is there's a high

00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.449
likelihood they're watching us already. It's

00:36:32.449 --> 00:36:36.250
possible. Very possible. You've been super, super

00:36:36.250 --> 00:36:37.730
careful. And actually, until you moved to this

00:36:37.730 --> 00:36:40.050
room, you were invisible. You only now appeared

00:36:40.050 --> 00:36:42.269
when you felt this room was purely safe. When

00:36:42.269 --> 00:36:44.389
you've watched a few of them leave. How far are

00:36:44.389 --> 00:36:47.829
we out at this point? You're still in the bottom

00:36:47.829 --> 00:36:49.650
room until you decide what you want to do. And

00:36:49.650 --> 00:36:51.949
we haven't heard anything outside of this room.

00:36:52.150 --> 00:36:54.929
You have not. Let me help you out here. Go ahead

00:36:54.929 --> 00:36:57.869
and open roll 20. Stephen. I will open roll 20.

00:36:58.219 --> 00:37:00.760
Oh, look at that big, giant black square. Yeah.

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.840
Great. I'm so glad I opened roll 20. Go to the

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.360
bottom of the black square. It's a huge square.

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:09.119
It is. This is the Rochelle map? Rochelle outdid

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.420
herself again. Way to go, Rochelle, by making

00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:14.519
a giant map. Dude, I'm so stoked. I'm so stoked

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.679
with this. It's huge. You're in the bowels. You're

00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.820
deep down here. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to use

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:24.750
my light. Well, here's the thing. No, no, no.

00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:26.150
I'm here for it. Here's the thing. There's a

00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:27.690
very good chance they're watching us already.

00:37:28.309 --> 00:37:30.949
And also, if I don't use the light, by the time

00:37:30.949 --> 00:37:32.769
we get to a point where I can see anything, we're

00:37:32.769 --> 00:37:35.949
already in range of some shit. Okay. Can I get

00:37:35.949 --> 00:37:40.869
super sneaky? What does that mean? Does... Does

00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:43.869
Emin Rath have dark vision? Emin Rath does have

00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:47.110
dark vision. As a half elf. Yes. You're the guide

00:37:47.110 --> 00:37:48.590
here, Emin Rath. You're the only one in this

00:37:48.590 --> 00:37:50.780
whole party that can see in the dark. I need

00:37:50.780 --> 00:37:53.159
to refresh on what I have here. So I have that.

00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.980
Yes, mostly you have that. You have your sword

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:58.159
abilities. You have a couple spells. Before we

00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:59.840
get into heavy combat, I'll stop and I'll go

00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.619
through everything so you know more about your

00:38:01.619 --> 00:38:05.380
main stuff. That's kind of the main thing. You

00:38:05.380 --> 00:38:07.280
give your general skills you can roll, like survival,

00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.760
investigation. But yeah, you can see in the dark,

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:13.920
which is not something that comes up often, but

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.639
when it does, it is critically important. It

00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:18.960
doesn't come up often, you say, seeing in the

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:22.420
dark. Which is why I'm going to offer you 400

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:28.780
gold for the goggles. I accept. That's the sound

00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:30.480
of a handshake. Predator shake. Predator shake.

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:33.599
There we go. Dude, it's so sweaty. Hands are

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.860
so sweaty. All right. You have the goggles. Excellent.

00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:40.320
That's going to be good for me. Let me just go

00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.539
ahead and delete 400 gold. That's going to hurt.

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:47.119
Ouch. While we're already on old Steven here,

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.710
we see. Jules and Jean, the light lights of the

00:38:50.710 --> 00:38:54.130
cavern. Yeah, it's bright light for 20 feet radius

00:38:54.130 --> 00:38:57.070
and then dim light for an additional 20 feet.

00:38:57.309 --> 00:38:59.550
Hell yeah, so Jean's staying close to you, probably

00:38:59.550 --> 00:39:01.289
getting right before you as you begin to move.

00:39:01.510 --> 00:39:03.289
And I've told him exactly what these things are,

00:39:03.409 --> 00:39:07.230
so hopefully he's fucking quiet now. He's silent,

00:39:07.369 --> 00:39:09.630
kind of. He's not the stealthiest character,

00:39:09.769 --> 00:39:12.050
but he's very carefully moving ahead of you as

00:39:12.050 --> 00:39:15.090
you press into the darkness of the tunnels, your

00:39:15.090 --> 00:39:19.780
light shining. Along the walls. And we cut from

00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:24.519
there again. We cut to the entrance of this cave.

00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.739
Imanrath, your senses were spot on. The cave

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:32.179
was well hidden. A construction of webs and leaves

00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:35.260
is covering its wide mouth. But you knew what

00:39:35.260 --> 00:39:37.059
to look for. And especially with those eyes of

00:39:37.059 --> 00:39:40.920
minute seeing, Blanche, you spot instantly what's

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:43.320
going on here. You spot that this is some kind

00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:46.789
of manufactured veil. made of spider webs, to

00:39:46.789 --> 00:39:50.010
hide this from the outside. On your way here,

00:39:50.070 --> 00:39:51.750
you saw very little sign of spider activity.

00:39:51.929 --> 00:39:55.489
There's no webs in the trees. And even the drag

00:39:55.489 --> 00:39:57.730
marks of prey brought into the cavern, they were

00:39:57.730 --> 00:40:00.369
carefully concealed. But again, with your passive

00:40:00.369 --> 00:40:03.230
investigation as it was, Blanche, and your natural

00:40:03.230 --> 00:40:05.969
affinity for the hunt and the wrath, you see

00:40:05.969 --> 00:40:11.530
the trail clear as day. I see the tracks. You

00:40:11.530 --> 00:40:13.550
see the tracks. But the fact that it was hidden

00:40:13.550 --> 00:40:16.400
so well. Serves as further proof that an intelligence

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.460
rules over these creatures, pushing them to hunt

00:40:19.460 --> 00:40:23.860
and return. Perhaps your adversary lies within.

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:26.340
Blanche, from what you have gathered, this isn't

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:28.440
far from where Jules and Jean had gone to scout.

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:30.239
But you asked some folk along the way, and they

00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:32.840
pointed this direction. If trouble has found

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.000
them, then this cave likely lies at trouble's

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.780
core. You stand before the entrance. Do you wish

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:43.989
to push in through the webs? It's very impressive

00:40:43.989 --> 00:40:47.210
that you could follow such teeny tiny little

00:40:47.210 --> 00:40:50.829
tracks being spider feet. They're big spiders.

00:40:51.269 --> 00:40:53.590
Yes, but I mean, like, the end of their feet,

00:40:53.670 --> 00:40:56.510
they can't be very big. It has to leave a pretty

00:40:56.510 --> 00:41:00.469
small track. Fair. True. Okay. Speaks to your

00:41:00.469 --> 00:41:04.639
expertise, Amon Rath. I'm quite impressed. It's

00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.619
easier than you think. All you have to do is

00:41:07.619 --> 00:41:10.380
have a big mouth like mine and suck in the spider

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:14.119
webs as you're walking. And now it's your turn

00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:18.300
to go first for a change. For God's sakes. It's

00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:21.800
true hiker energy. I often hike first and get

00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.920
all the spider webs in my face, David. He does.

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:27.079
I'm terrified of spiders. I always make him go

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:30.699
first. I want to look at that booty. There you

00:41:30.699 --> 00:41:34.690
go. There you go. Yeah, Blanche is going to draw

00:41:34.690 --> 00:41:37.710
her sword. She's going to don her brand new goggles

00:41:37.710 --> 00:41:41.730
of night. And with her blade, she's going to

00:41:41.730 --> 00:41:48.530
slice this screen of spider webs so that she

00:41:48.530 --> 00:41:54.269
and Emin Rath may enter the cave. Okay. Okay.

00:41:54.989 --> 00:41:57.849
Very nice. Very nice. If you pan to the top of

00:41:57.849 --> 00:42:00.110
the map, Stephen, you will see the two of you.

00:42:00.590 --> 00:42:03.630
Ah. Now, before we proceed any further, before

00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:06.989
anything else happens, I totally missed this.

00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:09.530
I'm going to do it now. I'm giving you a button

00:42:09.530 --> 00:42:11.250
for unique up on them. That's just too good.

00:42:12.130 --> 00:42:14.710
So this is going to give you advantage on a roll

00:42:14.710 --> 00:42:16.369
later on. So you're going to roll twice, take

00:42:16.369 --> 00:42:19.289
the higher. I mean, I got to do it. Excellent.

00:42:19.869 --> 00:42:25.309
Excellent. Nice. Yes, yes. It's called a pun.

00:42:27.349 --> 00:42:30.710
We're going to see some real bad stuff soon.

00:42:32.819 --> 00:42:36.800
So, yeah, I'll stick with these two for now,

00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:38.659
Enrath and Blanche. We're going to be doing some

00:42:38.659 --> 00:42:40.679
flip -flopping a lot, though, so get ready for

00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:43.260
that, guys. You stare into the mouth of the cave,

00:42:43.340 --> 00:42:46.239
and both of you can see quite a ways into the

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:48.599
darkness. Blanche, what's your dark vision currently?

00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:51.519
With your goggles of night? I think these goggles

00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:54.760
of night give Blanche 60 feet. That's pretty

00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:57.199
awesome. Of dark vision. Okay, you're looking

00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:59.670
in. And you see that immediately it opens to

00:42:59.670 --> 00:43:02.610
a wider sort of open cavern that branches off

00:43:02.610 --> 00:43:06.110
in two directions. I wish I could show you Stomp,

00:43:06.170 --> 00:43:08.329
but I can't because you'll see everything. You

00:43:08.329 --> 00:43:10.250
can sort of see if you look over on mine. I'll

00:43:10.250 --> 00:43:13.030
try to describe it too so it's not. So you can

00:43:13.030 --> 00:43:15.730
see if you move in, there's one sort of thinner

00:43:15.730 --> 00:43:19.469
passage moving out to the east and one that goes

00:43:19.469 --> 00:43:22.250
south, kind of a larger funneling direction.

00:43:22.710 --> 00:43:25.570
I'm going to get rid of this tiny little dice

00:43:25.570 --> 00:43:28.000
tower. Was this a gift from your wife? It was.

00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:29.900
It was. How dare you? This stupid, tiny little

00:43:29.900 --> 00:43:33.260
dice tower. Monster. We've outgrown this dice

00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:37.440
tower, Gabby. Honey, your name's in the new one.

00:43:37.500 --> 00:43:40.400
It's okay. You're still involved. You pick the

00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.960
colors. Oh, my God. It is. It's on the back.

00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.179
Yes, she picked silver and red. She looked at

00:43:45.179 --> 00:43:46.840
the lava lamp. I didn't even see that. That's

00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:49.900
wild. I'll roll over your checks from earlier.

00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:52.719
Your investigation, your passive, and your sort

00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.789
of survival, your hunting. You're looking in,

00:43:55.809 --> 00:43:57.869
you can see that drag trail you were following

00:43:57.869 --> 00:44:01.630
goes to the southern path, the wider path of

00:44:01.630 --> 00:44:06.690
the two. You see and hear nothing. What race

00:44:06.690 --> 00:44:10.090
is Emonrath again? Half -elf. What do your half

00:44:10.090 --> 00:44:15.829
-elf eyes see, Emonrath? Come on. I see safety

00:44:15.829 --> 00:44:20.210
to the east, the smaller tunnel. Let's explore.

00:44:20.909 --> 00:44:23.949
Let's check it out. Okay. It's quieter, maybe

00:44:23.949 --> 00:44:26.840
safer. So you move up to that tunnel, you look

00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:30.260
down, you see it snakes to the south at a point.

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:33.820
It continues around the corner, Amaterath, shall

00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:37.760
we? Let's investigate before following the main

00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:41.380
path to the south. So with 60 feet of dark vision,

00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:47.139
can Blanche see down the southern path? You have

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:48.500
to move around the corner to look all the way

00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:50.900
down it. And I opened up the other path as far

00:44:50.900 --> 00:44:54.469
as you can likely see. The main path. Shall we

00:44:54.469 --> 00:44:57.130
continue to the east? The path less traveled?

00:44:57.349 --> 00:45:00.170
Yes, exactly. All right. The path less traveled.

00:45:00.389 --> 00:45:02.869
We'll continue to the east. Perhaps there's treasure

00:45:02.869 --> 00:45:08.750
that way. Less resistance. Opening up a can of

00:45:08.750 --> 00:45:11.530
worms. I mentioned to Jules that... I do love

00:45:11.530 --> 00:45:14.989
worms. There was a number of utensils, cooking

00:45:14.989 --> 00:45:16.849
utensils, camping equipment, adventuring gear

00:45:16.849 --> 00:45:19.400
sort of stuff strewn about. But that's more on

00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.519
the bottom floor. It's deeper down, which you

00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:24.400
haven't seen yet. So up here, it's just purely

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.579
spider webs along the walls, some strands across

00:45:27.579 --> 00:45:28.960
the floor that you're probably carefully stepping

00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:33.079
over. You see it snakes around to a point where

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:36.019
you just barely can't see the end of it as it

00:45:36.019 --> 00:45:37.420
looks like it's kind of turning around to the

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:43.719
west again. I'll continue further. Okay. It literally,

00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:47.840
literally is a dead end. Little dead end. Ah.

00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:52.269
Can I roll perception or something? Checking

00:45:52.269 --> 00:45:57.650
for traps or doors or something? Sure, go ahead.

00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:01.150
Eamonrath, you can roll perception as well. That

00:46:01.150 --> 00:46:04.769
is going to be a plus two for you, so I'll give

00:46:04.769 --> 00:46:08.389
you your die. What about, actually, what about

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:10.909
investigation? Would investigation work here?

00:46:11.710 --> 00:46:13.329
Yes, yeah, actually, that's probably even better.

00:46:13.449 --> 00:46:15.869
Yeah, when you look around for clues and make

00:46:15.869 --> 00:46:17.909
deductions. So a plus three for you, Eamonrath.

00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.059
I'm going to... Blanche would like to roll those

00:46:21.059 --> 00:46:24.340
with her Eyes of Minute Seeing. She's going to

00:46:24.340 --> 00:46:28.079
pull her new Eyes of Minute Seeing and put them

00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:32.659
over the top of her Goggles of Night. Double

00:46:32.659 --> 00:46:35.639
Vision. Jules is going to give you so much shit

00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.320
when he sees those. Just a 9 on the first roll.

00:46:40.059 --> 00:46:46.300
17 on the die. Plus 4. Dirty 21. 21. Here you

00:46:46.300 --> 00:46:51.940
go. 21. Dirty 21. Dirty 21. All right. All right.

00:46:52.340 --> 00:46:56.440
Math's hard. There you go. There you go. So that

00:46:56.440 --> 00:47:01.340
is 12 for you. So, M .N. Rath, as you kind of

00:47:01.340 --> 00:47:02.719
look around here, you're investigating the area.

00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:05.860
Ooh, there's actually a tray. Nice. You look

00:47:05.860 --> 00:47:08.699
around the area, and you see... You don't notice

00:47:08.699 --> 00:47:12.840
anything. Seems like a dead end. Except there

00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:17.090
are some... spider -like tracks in maybe a mud

00:47:17.090 --> 00:47:20.230
spa right in the center of this space. Blanche,

00:47:20.329 --> 00:47:23.769
with your investigation, you realize that while

00:47:23.769 --> 00:47:25.610
you were on your way to this cave, there was

00:47:25.610 --> 00:47:28.769
a slight bit of rain. And even now you can see

00:47:28.769 --> 00:47:32.030
a few drips, maybe a crack that comes in from

00:47:32.030 --> 00:47:35.510
somewhere on the surface that's tripping into

00:47:35.510 --> 00:47:38.250
the center of this space. And you realize there

00:47:38.250 --> 00:47:40.130
wasn't rain for quite a while before. It was

00:47:40.130 --> 00:47:42.289
quite sunny, which means the tracks in the mud.

00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:50.159
are likely very, very recent. Emonrath. She whispers

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:57.659
to Emonrath. Yeah. Didn't you say it was raining

00:47:57.659 --> 00:48:03.639
outside? Yes. Very, very subtle, but it was damp

00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:09.639
out, yes. Can you hear the dripping? Stand back.

00:48:09.900 --> 00:48:15.579
Let me look up. Let me back up a little bit first.

00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:23.460
All right. I'm going to swap your tokens. Him

00:48:23.460 --> 00:48:25.280
and Wrath, you are standing just behind Blanche

00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.480
in this tunnel. Blanche, you are stepping into

00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:31.579
this small sort of cramped space, about 10 by

00:48:31.579 --> 00:48:35.500
10 feet wide room. Yeah. Give me one second to

00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:38.559
decide if I'm going to cast a spell. I wish I

00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:43.320
had a pike. I don't think I'm going to cast anything

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:47.960
yet. Okay. I don't want to waste a spell slot

00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:50.480
just in case. Your investigation was very good.

00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:56.880
You look up with the expectation of danger. And

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:01.320
so when something massive, this massive blue

00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:04.360
and white form of the spider appears just above

00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:06.900
you, its fangs bearing down on you as if from

00:49:06.900 --> 00:49:11.510
nowhere, I'm not going to. roll a surprise round

00:49:11.510 --> 00:49:16.929
on you guys because you were ready. But I'm going

00:49:16.929 --> 00:49:20.610
to cut away. I'm cutting to you, Jules. Sean,

00:49:20.849 --> 00:49:25.710
you're making your move down your tunnel. I'll

00:49:25.710 --> 00:49:28.150
let Jules sort of move, and I'll move Sean with

00:49:28.150 --> 00:49:29.949
the idea that he'll be right in front of you.

00:49:30.010 --> 00:49:31.949
Steven's going to have to move me. Steven, you've

00:49:31.949 --> 00:49:35.530
got to move Jules. That's us. I can just stop

00:49:35.530 --> 00:49:36.730
you two. If you want to just go, I'll describe,

00:49:36.949 --> 00:49:38.710
and I'll just put you where you are. Yeah, that'll

00:49:38.710 --> 00:49:41.440
work better. You step out, you see the tunnel

00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:45.480
snakes around to the east from your room, where

00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.440
it opens to a wider chamber that you've seen.

00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:49.460
This is the sort of almost makeshift kitchen

00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:52.440
you passed earlier. And then there's another

00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:54.260
path heading off to the south. You know, this

00:49:54.260 --> 00:49:57.119
will lead to a sort of steep ramp that moves

00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.880
out of the cave. Yeah, I mean, we're just going

00:49:59.880 --> 00:50:02.960
to keep going. Okay. You're working your way

00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:05.460
out. Now, what does it look like as you're moving?

00:50:05.619 --> 00:50:07.780
How are you? You have the light shining. How

00:50:07.780 --> 00:50:11.280
are you? preparing yourselves for ambush yeah

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:15.860
i think i think jules is out in front and i don't

00:50:15.860 --> 00:50:19.599
know how scared john is but i feel like jules

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.500
is probably like trying to pull him along he's

00:50:22.500 --> 00:50:25.599
he's scared but he's also the tank okay his goal

00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:28.360
is protect you so he's actually walking like

00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.480
with me oh yeah no he he's trying to fight you

00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:33.380
to be in front because he does not like you yeah

00:50:33.380 --> 00:50:36.389
in that case like He knows he can swap places

00:50:36.389 --> 00:50:38.389
with you in an instant, so he's trying to stay

00:50:38.389 --> 00:50:41.010
right on your ass, basically. Yeah, in that case,

00:50:41.090 --> 00:50:44.809
we're walking side by side. If he was scared,

00:50:44.869 --> 00:50:46.230
I was going to be pulling him along while being

00:50:46.230 --> 00:50:49.610
in front, but I also considered cowering behind

00:50:49.610 --> 00:50:52.969
him and shining my light over his shoulder. Hey,

00:50:53.010 --> 00:50:55.269
you know what? No, we'd be walking side by side.

00:50:55.369 --> 00:50:58.130
You are partners through and through. Yeah. And

00:50:58.130 --> 00:50:59.230
these things come from any direction. We're holding

00:50:59.230 --> 00:51:00.710
hands, too. You're holding hands. Hey, maybe

00:51:00.710 --> 00:51:02.230
he does because he wants to be able to swap fast.

00:51:02.289 --> 00:51:05.409
He's like, ready to go. preparing himself in

00:51:05.409 --> 00:51:10.349
case something happens. You are moving. You reach

00:51:10.349 --> 00:51:15.030
that point between the kitchen cavern that opens

00:51:15.030 --> 00:51:17.449
up beside you and your light, as it shines out,

00:51:17.469 --> 00:51:19.909
you can see that there's just like a sort of

00:51:19.909 --> 00:51:22.269
camp stove set up, a number of like little like

00:51:22.269 --> 00:51:25.590
pots and pans, kind of an open sort of a grill

00:51:25.590 --> 00:51:28.409
set up almost. Like I said, spices along sort

00:51:28.409 --> 00:51:30.429
of stone shelf walls that you're kind of viewing.

00:51:30.969 --> 00:51:34.230
But you peek in there real quick. Turn your gaze

00:51:34.230 --> 00:51:37.369
towards the way forward. And just in that moment,

00:51:37.389 --> 00:51:40.769
as you sort of look away, Jean being like the

00:51:40.769 --> 00:51:44.170
closer of the two of you towards that way, this

00:51:44.170 --> 00:51:46.329
thing appears from out of nowhere, giant spider

00:51:46.329 --> 00:51:49.730
arms launching down you, fangs bearing in on

00:51:49.730 --> 00:51:52.320
you. and you knew what this is coming. So I'm

00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:53.639
also going to say, I'm going to wave the surprise

00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.079
round for you as well. I'm going to let you have

00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:58.599
that sort of, you guys are ready. You guys knew

00:51:58.599 --> 00:52:00.599
what this was. You knew they were coming. I think

00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:02.159
it'd be bullshit if I'm like, and you were surprised

00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:03.880
by appearing out of nowhere. It was coming out

00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:06.139
of nowhere. You were ready for that. So with

00:52:06.139 --> 00:52:08.460
that, I want everyone to roll for initiative.

00:52:08.860 --> 00:52:16.960
All right. David. Whoa. Theft. Whoa, you stole

00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:21.079
my. Dice tower theft. Stole my dice tower. With

00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.840
blessed die. You touched another man's wife's

00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:33.039
dice tower? Oh, my God. Oh, wow. Okay. What'd

00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:35.179
you get? It's a 12 for jewels. 12 for jewels.

00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:39.420
Okay. Not the best, but it's not a two. It's

00:52:39.420 --> 00:52:42.480
not bad. All right. Blanche plus floor initiative.

00:52:44.139 --> 00:52:49.500
12. Nice. 12 for both. Okay. Let me find Jaune

00:52:49.500 --> 00:52:53.019
real fast. He's down with me. Right. I need to

00:52:53.019 --> 00:52:55.380
roll his initiative. I have his score on here

00:52:55.380 --> 00:53:00.599
somewhere. I know that was a joke. Oh. That flopped.

00:53:02.300 --> 00:53:05.500
That's just dex, right? Yes. So straight roll.

00:53:06.019 --> 00:53:10.159
Yes, straight dex. Natural three for Jaune. Okay.

00:53:10.699 --> 00:53:13.099
All right. Now, Eamon and Rath. Yes. I need yours.

00:53:13.179 --> 00:53:17.329
It's going to be a plus two on the d20. Ooh,

00:53:17.449 --> 00:53:21.849
18. Damn. Emon Wrath does not get surprised easy.

00:53:22.210 --> 00:53:26.750
Nice. That actually works out really well. And

00:53:26.750 --> 00:53:30.929
so the battle begins. We have, so we're starting

00:53:30.929 --> 00:53:34.269
off upstairs as this spider appears in this small

00:53:34.269 --> 00:53:37.730
sort of alcove above Blanche and Emon Wrath.

00:53:37.789 --> 00:53:40.650
And Emon Wrath will be the first to make a move

00:53:40.650 --> 00:53:44.500
in this fight. This thing is... Reaching over

00:53:44.500 --> 00:53:48.300
your stalwart ally, your old friend and new companion

00:53:48.300 --> 00:53:49.880
in this little adventure, Blanche Trudeau is

00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:52.260
in danger. And you're the first one to act to

00:53:52.260 --> 00:53:53.940
save her. What do you want to do? I think I'm

00:53:53.940 --> 00:53:57.159
going to roll a Hunter's Mark. Ooh, okay. All

00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.659
right. Yep. There's no time to waste. Hell yeah.

00:53:59.699 --> 00:54:01.300
So bonus action. You look at this thing. Boom.

00:54:01.460 --> 00:54:05.719
It is marked. It is your prey. Absolutely. So

00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:07.480
with that, now basically when you do attack it,

00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:09.429
you're going to do extra damage. Yeah, okay.

00:54:09.590 --> 00:54:11.389
So, like, if you want to go for a full attack

00:54:11.389 --> 00:54:13.449
now, too, because that'd only cost a bonus action,

00:54:13.570 --> 00:54:15.230
and your action, which is your main part of your

00:54:15.230 --> 00:54:16.909
turn, is still going to be able to, like, go

00:54:16.909 --> 00:54:18.769
in with your sword. And you get two of those

00:54:18.769 --> 00:54:21.650
now. Hell of a five. Absolutely. Right off the

00:54:21.650 --> 00:54:23.510
bat, let's go. Hell yeah. So you're up to your

00:54:23.510 --> 00:54:25.489
sword. Yeah, there's no time to waste. Hell yeah.

00:54:25.550 --> 00:54:27.170
This thing is marked. You see this thing almost

00:54:27.170 --> 00:54:29.269
recoil as it feels something it's probably never

00:54:29.269 --> 00:54:33.349
felt before. The gaze of a predator. Maybe something

00:54:33.349 --> 00:54:39.639
more apex than it. Oh, hell yeah. Ebonrath slides

00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:43.199
up into the sort of tiny alcove. Your back pressed

00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:45.760
against the stone wall, but there's enough space

00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:47.900
to swing a sword, and that's all you need. That's

00:54:47.900 --> 00:54:50.780
all we need. Let's do it. I need two d20 rolls

00:54:50.780 --> 00:54:55.940
for your two attacks. Ten. That's going to be

00:54:55.940 --> 00:55:01.980
a plus six for 16. Damn. Wow. 17. That's just

00:55:01.980 --> 00:55:04.820
a hit. Oh, yeah. There we go. Hell, yeah. Hell,

00:55:04.980 --> 00:55:09.000
yeah. Okay, okay. Don't check my AC. Both hit.

00:55:09.539 --> 00:55:12.079
Oh, shit. Both of them. Go ahead and roll. Nice.

00:55:12.139 --> 00:55:14.860
That and that. D8 and a D6, because that Hunter's

00:55:14.860 --> 00:55:19.239
Mark's giving you that extra bonus. Okay. What

00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:22.300
do we get there? Two. Two plus three, five, and?

00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:26.280
And another two. Okay, first attack is going

00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:27.960
to be seven damage. You're rolling both again.

00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:33.099
So we get a one and a four. One and a four plus

00:55:33.099 --> 00:55:36.380
three. That is another eight points. Am I right?

00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.840
Damn, yeah. Hell yeah. Damn, that's some good

00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:42.260
arithmetic. You carve fast into this thing. Just

00:55:42.260 --> 00:55:45.880
slides like... Two legs, pieces of leg go sliding

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:48.980
off. Icker sprays out. It sort of screeches.

00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:51.579
That's what spiders sound like. I don't care.

00:55:51.860 --> 00:55:54.380
And just kind of turns its attention, whipping

00:55:54.380 --> 00:55:57.940
its spidery face towards you. And now it's a

00:55:57.940 --> 00:56:01.630
spider's turn. So... Normally I can attack from

00:56:01.630 --> 00:56:04.590
hidden at advantage, but I think given your preparations,

00:56:04.829 --> 00:56:06.070
given your roles, given the fact that you knew

00:56:06.070 --> 00:56:07.590
it was coming, I'm going to waive that because

00:56:07.590 --> 00:56:10.809
I think that's cool. And honestly, this thing

00:56:10.809 --> 00:56:12.949
is terrifying. So here we go. If I do hit, this

00:56:12.949 --> 00:56:16.409
thing's terrifying. It's attacking him in wrath?

00:56:16.670 --> 00:56:18.710
It's attacking him in wrath, which means for

00:56:18.710 --> 00:56:23.449
the first time ever, past people. I got to record

00:56:23.449 --> 00:56:25.949
this. Get the recording on it. Do it, do it.

00:56:26.010 --> 00:56:30.420
Oh my God. For the first time ever. We're dropping

00:56:30.420 --> 00:56:33.519
a die right into the Port -O -Pain. Oh, yeah.

00:56:33.699 --> 00:56:37.860
32. Be ready for pain, my Harvey's. I don't know.

00:56:37.860 --> 00:56:39.860
Ready? Ready? You guys ready? Let's do this.

00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:45.639
I'm so ready. Oh. It's a natural five. Oh, five

00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:52.400
on the die. No. Oh, shit. Okay. That sounds like

00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:58.599
dull bone breakage. It was. Nice. It's storing

00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.219
its power. It's storing its power, but it's only

00:57:01.219 --> 00:57:02.780
going to be a nine, which will miss Emon Wrath.

00:57:02.780 --> 00:57:04.860
This thing dives towards you, tries to bite down,

00:57:04.940 --> 00:57:07.440
and you weave out of the way carefully. It kind

00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.539
of almost cracks into the stone walls. It tries

00:57:10.539 --> 00:57:13.900
to force its fangs deep into you. Blanche, it's

00:57:13.900 --> 00:57:16.039
you. This thing moved away. It's focusing on

00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:20.079
Emon Wrath. It gives you a chance to move. Blanche

00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:25.239
is not going to move, but as a bonus action,

00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:29.780
Blanche is going to cast Shadow Blade at second

00:57:29.780 --> 00:57:35.380
level. Okay. Okay. Well, Emonrath, I see you've

00:57:35.380 --> 00:57:38.800
learned a lot since our time at Ozen's Dojo.

00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:41.260
Let me show you what I've learned, and I'll show

00:57:41.260 --> 00:57:45.860
you more next round. This is so cool. Social

00:57:45.860 --> 00:57:52.059
cast Shadow Blade and make an attack. Okay. Okay.

00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:54.920
You don't get those two attacks Emonrath has,

00:57:54.980 --> 00:57:57.480
but. Perhaps with this one, you can do some serious

00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:00.480
damage. Yeah, give me one second to read exactly

00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:04.780
how Shadowblade... Okay, so... You attack with

00:58:04.780 --> 00:58:08.739
advantage and do extra damage. Yes. So I just

00:58:08.739 --> 00:58:13.159
go back to my actions and just roll my longsword

00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.300
attack, right? Yes, and you add the bonus damage

00:58:15.300 --> 00:58:19.639
to it. I don't know why I rolled on D &D Beyond.

00:58:20.659 --> 00:58:23.480
First attack was a... Or the first roll was a

00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:27.409
15. Let's see if I can roll higher. That was

00:58:27.409 --> 00:58:31.730
not higher. Does a 15 hit? 15 does hit. Okay,

00:58:31.809 --> 00:58:33.969
sweet. So now I'm going to jump back to spells,

00:58:34.090 --> 00:58:38.090
and that's where I'll find the damage roll here.

00:58:38.789 --> 00:58:47.590
It's 2d8. 11 damage. Okay. Now, does that add

00:58:47.590 --> 00:58:49.230
to your damage from your longsword normally,

00:58:49.309 --> 00:58:51.429
or is it just the new damage for your shadow

00:58:51.429 --> 00:58:55.170
blade? It deals 2d8 psychic damage on a hit.

00:58:55.760 --> 00:58:58.380
Oh, I'm wrong. It counts as a simple melee weapon

00:58:58.380 --> 00:59:00.500
because you're proficient. It's making a new

00:59:00.500 --> 00:59:02.920
sword. It's not adding to your sword. I am stupid.

00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:07.880
Right. So it is 2d8. Yeah, so instead of 1d8

00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:11.820
plus 5, that's not even better, is it? It gives

00:59:11.820 --> 00:59:14.159
you advantage in the dark, though. The only thing

00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:15.679
is it would actually have been a 14 to do a plus

00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.139
1, but it still hits. You're fine. Okay. You

00:59:18.139 --> 00:59:20.440
cleave, you like, rather than draw your blade,

00:59:20.699 --> 00:59:22.599
you see that you're up between the darkness and

00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:24.739
a blade of shadow, flickering shadow forms in

00:59:24.739 --> 00:59:27.000
your hand, almost blending into the dark itself,

00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:30.179
sort of growing into the space of shadow, and

00:59:30.179 --> 00:59:32.159
it just sort of cleaves its way into the spider,

00:59:32.219 --> 00:59:34.480
more of its legs come cleaving off its body,

00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:37.019
ichor splashing against the stone wall, and it

00:59:37.019 --> 00:59:42.340
looks really, really bad. So 1d8 plus 5 is actually

00:59:42.340 --> 00:59:45.579
worse damage than, or better damage than 2d8

00:59:45.579 --> 00:59:50.679
on average. but I get the advantage on the attack

00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.360
roll. That's huge. So I hit more, but for an

00:59:54.360 --> 00:59:57.619
average, a little less damage. We're going to

00:59:57.619 --> 01:00:02.760
zoom downstairs to Jules LaRoche. This thing

01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:04.920
just appeared beside you, striking out towards

01:00:04.920 --> 01:00:06.880
Jaune, but you were ready for it. Your eyes were

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:08.480
lingering in that space. You knew it was going

01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:10.360
to come right when you turned your head. And

01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:12.440
so the second it appears, you're already moving

01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:14.820
to attack. What do you do? You stand up first?

01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.969
You're first. Okay. Jules is going to cast Bardic

01:00:17.969 --> 01:00:21.670
Inspiration onto Jean Franklin. Hell yeah. And

01:00:21.670 --> 01:00:24.230
then Jules. Blue light fills the space for a

01:00:24.230 --> 01:00:26.250
second. Then Jules is going to bless us both.

01:00:26.849 --> 01:00:31.130
Good move. Good move. So that's what? So Jean

01:00:31.130 --> 01:00:34.849
Franklin now has a D6 and a D4. Amazing. Yeah.

01:00:35.570 --> 01:00:38.889
Super great. Cool. That's your move? That's it.

01:00:39.050 --> 01:00:43.710
Okay. Spider's going on Jean. That's a miss.

01:00:44.329 --> 01:00:47.210
Nice. Yep, it deals a strike. Jaune sort of spins

01:00:47.210 --> 01:00:50.130
a shell right at him. The fangs come cracking

01:00:50.130 --> 01:00:52.889
against his shell, not able to pierce through.

01:00:53.050 --> 01:00:55.630
And he's sort of whirling against them in a spin.

01:00:56.030 --> 01:00:59.090
This thing's taken by surprise. Jaune is up.

01:00:59.150 --> 01:01:01.050
Coming out of that spin into an attack, I'm guessing.

01:01:01.269 --> 01:01:03.670
Yeah, Jaune's going to do a spear attack. Hell

01:01:03.670 --> 01:01:06.130
yeah. Plus five to hit. Let's see what we get.

01:01:07.989 --> 01:01:11.230
14 on the die for a 19. That will hit. Nice.

01:01:11.309 --> 01:01:15.199
All right, let's see here. This is 1d6 plus 2

01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:22.360
piercing damage. 5 on the die for 7 damage. Okay.

01:01:22.940 --> 01:01:25.900
Okay. Jaune whirls around, his spear cutting

01:01:25.900 --> 01:01:27.679
this thing. Good dash right across. It's like

01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.820
eyes. A few of its eight eyes or whatever get

01:01:30.820 --> 01:01:33.639
scratched open. Icarus splashes down its face.

01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.820
It screeches out. Jaune's staying brave before

01:01:36.820 --> 01:01:38.940
it. The spider's sort of moving up its legs,

01:01:39.019 --> 01:01:41.739
sort of kind of... crawling in the air, building

01:01:41.739 --> 01:01:44.340
up for its next attack. We pop upstairs to see

01:01:44.340 --> 01:01:46.840
the one upstairs is looking real bad, sort of

01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:49.199
up against the wall. Icarus splashing against

01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.980
the stone as you two move in to finish the job.

01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:58.280
But here, here, let's cut outside for a moment.

01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:01.320
What? Let's cut outside the cave. David, what's

01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:03.260
happening outside? I'll tell you what's happening

01:02:03.260 --> 01:02:08.539
outside. We see a great arachnid form moves towards

01:02:08.539 --> 01:02:12.829
the cave mouth. dark armor covering its carapace

01:02:12.829 --> 01:02:17.250
and legs. A saddle rests upon its back, and its

01:02:17.250 --> 01:02:21.050
rider shrewdly examines the cave mouth, frowning

01:02:21.050 --> 01:02:25.469
deeply when he sees the gash, the cut in the

01:02:25.469 --> 01:02:29.710
web. We zoom out, getting a full shot of this

01:02:29.710 --> 01:02:34.230
figure. So, okay. Everyone in paparazzi was really

01:02:34.230 --> 01:02:36.389
dumb, but I couldn't not. Like, that was really...

01:02:36.389 --> 01:02:39.860
So, sometimes you just... You have to do something,

01:02:39.940 --> 01:02:41.059
you know. It gets in your head and you just want

01:02:41.059 --> 01:02:42.559
to do it and you know it's a bad idea and you

01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:45.039
do it. I mean, you don't have to. I have to.

01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:48.019
You don't have to. You see a very threatening

01:02:48.019 --> 01:02:51.059
figure. A rotund dwarven man with sun -tanned

01:02:51.059 --> 01:02:54.179
skin and frosted white spiked hair. The typical

01:02:54.179 --> 01:02:56.400
dwarven beard has been shaved down to a patch

01:02:56.400 --> 01:02:59.360
around his mouth. His eyes are covered by shaded

01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:01.940
spectacles and a little explorer's hat rests

01:03:01.940 --> 01:03:05.800
on the crown of his head. If him in wrath were

01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:08.420
to see this man, he would know immediately who

01:03:08.420 --> 01:03:12.960
he is. A pillar of the snake eaters. A gloominary

01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:16.559
of the citadel. Talented in beast taming and

01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:20.400
ever hungry for rare and illegal meats. The exotic

01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:26.800
poacher. The devilish diner. Guy Safari. Fuck.

01:03:31.630 --> 01:03:35.469
Who looks to his... Shut up. Who looks to his

01:03:35.469 --> 01:03:38.530
lair, now potentially revealed and invaded, and

01:03:38.530 --> 01:03:42.210
says, whoever you are, I'm about to put the whole

01:03:42.210 --> 01:03:47.849
Hamalama in your ding dong. What? We'll call

01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:50.010
it there. We'll call it there.
