WEBVTT 00:00:02.470 --> 00:00:04.969 People! Just want to say real quick, the obvious, 00:00:05.049 --> 00:00:07.450 thank you so much for being here right now, listening 00:00:07.450 --> 00:00:10.750 to this show. You're the best. You, individually, 00:00:10.929 --> 00:00:13.089 right there, the one on top of two, me and you. 00:00:13.769 --> 00:01:04.799 You're the best. Enjoy. as written by one Hitzman 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:09.219 Del Prado. Hitzman's work on this current iteration 00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:12.079 of the Marvel Ironworks Armored Guard is nothing 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.359 short of amazing. I am in equal parts impressed 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.180 with his design and stupefied by the severe shortcomings 00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:22.120 of this model. How could he have ignored the 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.219 sheer potential of these armors? To cut costs, 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.519 this is why businessmen should not involve themselves 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.609 in the art of invention. The Armored Guard's 00:01:33.609 --> 00:01:35.849 magificial intelligence is something that has 00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:39.129 been praised time and time again by my crystal 00:01:39.129 --> 00:01:43.609 network. Bah! It yet pales in comparison to the 00:01:43.609 --> 00:01:48.489 intelligence of a learned sapient mind. Sloppy. 00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:52.750 The AG -5 cannot work together and have no true 00:01:52.750 --> 00:01:56.530 command structure outside of following the verbal 00:01:56.530 --> 00:02:01.730 commands of a designated master. They also have 00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:06.290 no ability to work the weave in spellcraft. Did 00:02:06.290 --> 00:02:09.710 Itmin never consider Mataki's principles of soul 00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:13.349 transference? Had he avoided a necromantic touch, 00:02:13.550 --> 00:02:17.810 Elder Shirk cowardice? A surprise, considering 00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:21.909 his allegiance with the fractured horn. Well, 00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:26.569 the genius Kecha Gumball is certainly no coward. 00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:33.539 And he... I will see his potential realized as 00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:37.860 he rots in the sky prison. You're very welcome, 00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:49.800 old friend. I made a choice many episodes ago 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.259 with the voice of Keja Kamal. And there are a 00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:58.120 few things I regret more than that. One banana. 00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:08.120 One banana. Two banana. It was instinct. I was 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.439 like, what does this guy sound like? I don't 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.500 know. I just started talking. It's like, fuck, 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.319 I got to commit to this. It's a character. I 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.180 don't know why, but I was quite tickled by magificial 00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:20.110 intelligence. I mentioned it once before in a 00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:22.430 commercial for the AG5, but yeah, it's like, 00:03:22.490 --> 00:03:25.229 I don't know, I think it's fun. We're doing AI 00:03:25.229 --> 00:03:27.770 now, I guess. I don't care. Yeah, magic. Am I? 00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:31.689 Am I? Am I? Doing Am I? We don't know how it 00:03:31.689 --> 00:03:35.389 works, but it's, yeah. So the results of our 00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:40.449 school time special are in. Oh, yeah. And Jeremy 00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:43.689 is the winner of a shiny new button. Yeah. And 00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:45.069 the thing about this is actually that I'm not 00:03:45.069 --> 00:03:49.259 mad. I'm not mad. You're just not. No, I'm not 00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:50.840 even mad. You're just not. Did you know that 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.139 your lips never touch when you chew on a butt? 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.580 I thought you were going to say poop. Sure. Thanks. 00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:03.740 Just take it. Just take it out of my hand. I'll 00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:05.860 take the pile. I'm not even mad. Just take that. 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.500 It's fine. David voted for himself in the poll. 00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:12.740 I saw that. I saw that. I was ethical and I did 00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:15.960 not vote at all. Oh, oh yeah. That's, you know, 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.500 that's really good of you. And I'm not mad. No, 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.180 this is the first time in a long time where I've 00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:21.480 had three buttons. Oh, you have three buttons. 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.259 You're maxed out. Okay. Well, let's see what 00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:24.860 else. Cause there's a wedgie in the last fight. 00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:28.029 Uh, kind of interesting one. Um, uh basically 00:04:28.029 --> 00:04:32.129 that the the scorpions while they had blind sight 00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:35.129 they could actively see apart from that and i 00:04:35.129 --> 00:04:37.529 did say warding bark didn't work on them but 00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:40.069 i think given the fact they could see uh there 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:42.589 was some uh andy and the discord had some uh 00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:46.230 thoughts on basically if they can see the flashlight 00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:48.410 still hits them like a stun grenade would and 00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:50.230 it should still affect them that makes sense 00:04:50.230 --> 00:04:53.350 to me so you know what i will call that a wedgie 00:04:53.689 --> 00:04:55.790 I'll call that my bad. It was recommended that 00:04:55.790 --> 00:04:57.790 I give you guys a button or reset Akio's warning 00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:01.610 bar for the day. But it looks like Jeremy's already 00:05:01.610 --> 00:05:04.350 got three buttons and I'm not even mad. I'm really 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.410 not even mad. Akio's not Jeremy's. You were explaining 00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:11.470 that looking at me while you were talking. Akio's 00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:13.569 not mine. No, I'm not even mad. So let's move 00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:17.769 on. Steven, get a button. He's so petty. Not 00:05:17.769 --> 00:05:25.680 even petty or mad. Not even petty, he says. You 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.000 guys want to get back into it? Yeah, sure. Let's 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.740 get back into it. Here's the thing. We've got 00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:31.579 to talk. Top of the show. We've got to talk about 00:05:31.579 --> 00:05:34.180 this, right? We've got ourselves a little conundrum. 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.019 That was a pretty good spot, I think, last episode, 00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:39.819 to swing the swag on over to the other group. 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.860 We have pressure on us because we switch over 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:44.639 to dialogue. I want to be there for a few episodes. 00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:46.379 We're going to see these guys. We have a good 00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:48.980 old, big old sting. Really good episode sting, 00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:51.740 right? And now we got to do one more episode. 00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:53.800 I'm doing this because I want a pacing. I want 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.740 to have more progress here. I want you guys to 00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:58.079 explore this library. But we need a sting to 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.819 end all stings. We need to find the motherfucker 00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.180 of the stings. Can you guys find the best? Yeah, 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.160 exactly. That's how serious I am. I'm offended 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.160 by his language. I'm not even mad, though. And 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.660 I think we need to find a good sting. I think 00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:10.079 it's up to you guys to find the sting tonight. 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.199 I think I'm going to be, now what I'm going to 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.300 do, I'm going to let you guys do your thing. 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.240 You go in your rooms, you do your silly little 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.040 quest and I'll narrate. And what's going to happen 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.459 is at one point in this episode. You set up this 00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:21.079 quest. This is your quest that we are on. Hey, 00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:26.240 shut up. So we're going to go around and when 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.319 you guys want to add this thing, you drop some 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.259 big cool lines. All right. You find that moment. 00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:33.540 You drop some lines and you do this. Okay. Do 00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:36.000 that to me. And I'll say the, I'll say the thing. 00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:38.259 Or I just do this. And we'll call it there. No, 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.860 no, you can't do that. No, wait, hang on. No, 00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.319 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:46.879 That's illegal. I have to say that. If you say 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.399 it, it doesn't count. And we keep going. We just 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.839 keep narrating shit. And we're out. This episode 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.899 doesn't end until you find the best sting we've 00:06:55.899 --> 00:06:58.579 ever had. All right. Now, the pants people can 00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:01.879 look at the timestamp on this episode and see 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.120 how long it is. Yeah. We're going to keep going 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.019 until you find it. I want you to sting them like 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:10.740 a scorpion stinging a keel last episode. Oh, 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.019 my God. All right. Yeah. There's something wrong 00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:15.180 with you. Yeah, something wrong with me. I'm 00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:18.540 not even mad. Let's start. Let's start the episode. 00:07:23.779 --> 00:07:28.110 Blanche, you. have defeated. This is the first 00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.930 time you've actually fully committed and defeated 00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:33.569 one of these things. In that last moment, as 00:07:33.569 --> 00:07:35.389 your shadow blade struck, creating this sort 00:07:35.389 --> 00:07:37.930 of psychic link between you and this armored 00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:40.610 guard, the armor of Ozen now crumpled at your 00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:44.389 feet, spilled down over the shelves and clanging 00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:48.410 on the library floor, you saw this almost spectral 00:07:48.410 --> 00:07:54.540 figure, an image of a very young man. bearded, 00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:58.939 haughty, and sort of royal garb. He said that 00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:02.079 he was a prince of Senza. And you actually have 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.800 a name to put to this face. Because way back 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.420 when, when you talked to Prince Simbon, he mentioned, 00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.279 kind of offhand, that one of the top five students 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.180 is his royal, uh, sort of, uh, rival. A prince 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:20.439 of Neba named Carina. And now Carina is gone. 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:24.800 This figure. Made zealous with the teachings 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.680 of Kejau Kamal. Obsessed with continuing his 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:34.480 great legacy is gone. Dispatched by your blade. 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:38.580 But you had no choice. Maybe it's not final. 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.080 Maybe it's not death. You don't know. You don't 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.340 know fully, but I think you're starting to think 00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:47.100 that it is. All the evidence points that direction. 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:50.899 Though you did come to this library seeking necromantic 00:08:50.899 --> 00:08:55.820 volumes. And now this place is quiet. Your enemy 00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:59.379 is dispatched. You have one of the four stone 00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:03.179 fragments you need to place upon the pool or... 00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:06.279 Yeah, there was a pool of the faceless. You haven't 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.179 found that yet. I mean, I guess, you know, yes. 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.039 Blanche is upset by the fact that she maybe just 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:20.080 killed, killed this guy. I mean, there was certainly 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.370 no... reasoning with him it was kind of kill 00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:26.509 or be killed she's trying to malice there's malice 00:09:26.509 --> 00:09:30.450 there he tried to kill a keo yeah and that's 00:09:30.450 --> 00:09:33.389 just not allowed to happen so she's trying to 00:09:33.389 --> 00:09:36.409 compartmentalize but she wants to search through 00:09:36.409 --> 00:09:41.490 the armor because you said that we found one 00:09:41.490 --> 00:09:47.149 of the tokens yes but we believe that this suit 00:09:47.149 --> 00:09:52.440 this guy killed The first suit that we saw in 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.299 the gymnasium. Yeah. Yeah, all the evidence points 00:09:56.299 --> 00:09:58.299 that way. Definitely, now that you've fought 00:09:58.299 --> 00:10:01.019 these scorpions, you know it was their stinging 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:03.679 tails that punctured that armor. Their venom 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.379 that was running down it. Probably not doing 00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:07.799 anything to it because it's armor, but the stings 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.700 were enough. The figure had been webbed to the 00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:12.419 floor, essentially, from what you saw and just 00:10:12.419 --> 00:10:15.639 stung to death. Punctured, speared repeatedly. 00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:19.210 Horrible. So Blanche was thinking that we would 00:10:19.210 --> 00:10:22.289 find two of them. You don't see one here. No, 00:10:22.409 --> 00:10:24.330 no. And the armor's falling apart all around 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:26.169 you. You're looking at all the pieces. And maybe, 00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:28.889 like, Akio bursts back into the room. I'm back! 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:31.649 And everything's kind of still and quiet. And 00:10:31.649 --> 00:10:34.269 he starts running over to investigate. Sees the 00:10:34.269 --> 00:10:35.909 pieces on the floor. Just sort of sniffing around 00:10:35.909 --> 00:10:39.110 them. Knocking pieces around. And just, you know, 00:10:39.149 --> 00:10:44.889 booting black armor. Pauldrons and grebes. No. 00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:50.259 Nothing on the floor. nothing else carried but 00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:52.940 as you're standing up high in this library you 00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:54.399 do look to the south and you see there's one 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.779 door that is closed to the south there's a sort 00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:01.759 of a there's the the office of or the office 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.799 slash um dwelling place of miss rochelle the 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.759 library's you know keeper oh and next to another 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.720 door since she's sitting there totally shut you 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.620 don't see what's in that room There's a little 00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:14.480 nook beyond that, but you can kind of clearly 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.500 see into there. You can see a lot of the library 00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:18.159 from where you are now, and nothing really stands 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.320 out. There's also a door up beside you and a 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.120 door to the north. You haven't seen beyond these 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:27.360 ways yet. Perhaps he has somewhat of a nest nearby 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.220 while he was hiding the other token. I will also 00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:34.240 remark, Dresden, you were about to start investigating 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.940 Miss Rochelle's quarters when you were drawn 00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:37.960 out. Do you want to finish that investigation? 00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:42.059 Yeah, I think so. We can't stop. And Dresden 00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:45.639 will turn and walk toward the room. All right, 00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:46.879 so you're heading south. You're going into the 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.100 room. You step back into Miss Rochelle's office. 00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:53.419 We'll say Jean kind of moves up behind you. Kind 00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:55.700 of somewhat looking a little battered and just 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:59.399 kind of wary, staring around. But everything 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.960 is calm. He sets himself and follows you in. 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.440 Golden spirits are ready to guard against any 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.779 other sudden attack. While you're going in there, 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.480 what are you doing, Blanche? Blanche is going 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.100 to... Hand the token to Akio and ask for him 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:23.100 to smell it. Ooh. Oh. Are there any waftings 00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:26.200 of something similar to this nearby? Perhaps 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.019 one of the other offices to the south of the 00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:33.960 library here? He smells it, moves to the south, 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:40.200 as you said, sniffs at this door. Yes, right 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:47.799 here. Magic. Gold. And magic. And he goes to 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:49.600 that southern door right beside the office, Mr. 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:52.840 Shell. Blanche is going to call out to Dresden 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.240 and John. Dresden, where? We're going to enter 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.200 the room next to you. Blanche wants to, like, 00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:01.200 try to, I don't know, check for traps on this 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.019 door or something before opening it? Yeah, give 00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:06.659 me a... Gosh, what role would that be? I guess 00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:09.129 an investigation, right? Should I just see if 00:13:09.129 --> 00:13:12.950 you notice anything? That's a great idea. Will 00:13:12.950 --> 00:13:15.690 her eyes of minute seeing work for this? They 00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:17.350 will, yeah. You're looking for any little detail. 00:13:17.509 --> 00:13:19.690 You're staring all around the fray, looking for 00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:24.029 a trip wire, an inscription. Hold on. What? I 00:13:24.029 --> 00:13:27.590 just crit everywhere. What? I rolled two ones. 00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:34.990 Oh, dude. I rolled two ones. Dude, I thought 00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:39.279 you were making a good crit. No. Wow. Wow. I 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.000 really hope there's not a trap. There might have 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.340 to be now. Dude. I don't have to make a trap. 00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:48.320 Two ones? I've never done that before. You didn't 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.240 crit ever, Ray. You just made a giant doo -doo. 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.179 Dude, for real. She's, like, slipping and dancing. 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.200 Oh, my gosh. I don't know what to do with it. 00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:58.799 I mean, you certainly don't see anything. You 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.460 think there might be a trap. You, like, touch 00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:04.360 it. You're like, no. There's resistance to the 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.299 door. I'm super paranoid, but I also don't see 00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:10.360 anything. So I guess I'm just going to open the 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:15.120 door now. She announces to Akio. Okay, Roof. 00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:20.179 Do that. Wait, no, Roof. You have taught me how. 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.899 I will open the door, Roof. And he gets up and 00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:28.860 opens the door. Swings over. And he does not 00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:30.799 explode because there is no trap. Okay, that's 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.299 great. But you do trip and fall over. Okay, that's 00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:39.220 fair. Let's open this room up. You're looking 00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.860 to just like another small, it looks like just 00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:44.299 a kind of a little office here. Maybe it's a 00:14:44.299 --> 00:14:47.700 second office for her. You notice a few things, 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:48.940 right? You're looking at this office. Yeah, I 00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:50.779 hate to tell you, there are a couple of yellow 00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:52.519 circles that I don't think I'm supposed to see. 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.299 Nope, you actually can see those. Oh, I thought 00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:56.000 it was like stuff that you, like important things 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.539 that you had circled. Nah, you're good. You don't 00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:00.299 do anything important. Let's start with, who 00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:05.000 to start with here? What? Hey, how dare you? 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.519 Hey, the thing is, I'm not even mad though, so 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:12.899 it's okay. What you see is immediately there's 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:15.279 an office desk next to you, right? This desk 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.419 also has that plate that says Miss Rochelle on 00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:20.980 it, which is kind of weird. And you notice there's 00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:23.820 a couple of books stacked on this desk. This 00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:25.580 is Blanche, by the way. We'll get to you in a 00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:29.039 second, Dresden. One looks to be a short stack 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.029 of high -level sort of divination texts. And 00:15:32.029 --> 00:15:33.929 there's a place on the desk in the orderly manner. 00:15:34.330 --> 00:15:36.090 There's a few arcane elements along with them. 00:15:36.129 --> 00:15:38.110 There's a tray of tiny bones, a crystal ball, 00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:40.570 just items that might be used in spells and rituals 00:15:40.570 --> 00:15:42.830 of the divination class. And you realize you're 00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:44.929 looking at perhaps Mr. Shell's pulling double 00:15:44.929 --> 00:15:47.570 time. And this is actually also the office of 00:15:47.570 --> 00:15:51.330 divination. Beyond that, what's much more interesting 00:15:51.330 --> 00:15:54.799 is there's a table. deeper into the office and 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.259 sort of scrawled on the table and almost like 00:15:57.259 --> 00:16:00.059 it's this you have to look top down over it right 00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.980 it's kind of this magical inscription that goes 00:16:01.980 --> 00:16:04.299 down the legs of the table and continues all 00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:07.940 over there it's this weird looking um three ringed 00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.860 arcane circle or three rings connected by a singular 00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:13.559 central ring and all inscribed with golden chalk 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.360 into the stone tiles of the floor within each 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.460 ring you can see is an image of a scorpion surrounded 00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:23.220 by magic script Summoning circles unlike any 00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:25.399 you've seen before, but they seem, based on what 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.000 you've seen, to allow conjured beings to last 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.759 far longer than they should. Another discovery 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.039 of the incredible Kejo Kamal. You recognize that 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.539 golden script as something that I think you would 00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:40.220 have seen, or at least heard of, from the Shrine 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:43.759 of Storms. All the elementals that were used 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.419 there had similar magic circles summoning them. 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.639 The Zappies on Tythos had similar magic circles 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.620 summoning them. This is definitely Kejo's magic, 00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:56.320 probably passed on to one of his writer students. 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.580 And in the middle of that circle, that central 00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:04.380 circle, right in the middle of that table, is 00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:08.980 another stone fragment. And we'll call it there. 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:15.079 No, no. Come on. It's not good enough. It's too 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.460 early. It's an art. It's an art. Let's see how 00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:19.960 many ending points we can have. You're going 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.599 to be like, oh, this is easy. We've had so many 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:27.059 stings. I am not even going to be mad. So there's 00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:30.400 a large circle in the middle with three smaller 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.640 circles around it. And those three have the scorpion. 00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:36.539 So it's all one big summoning inscription, but 00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:40.059 the three seem to be identical. outside are identifying 00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:42.099 like the shape and form of the creatures what 00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:44.019 you're figuring and that middle one is just like 00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:48.279 the kind of main oh okay for a second i thought 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.900 i thought that like placing another stone and 00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:53.000 it was gonna take one of the other circles away 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.059 and this was like the way into kejo's no no this 00:17:56.059 --> 00:17:58.180 okay this just seems like it was scrawled here 00:17:58.180 --> 00:18:01.019 by the armored form you just bought that's the 00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:02.839 impression you're getting the circle was placed 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.119 here this is like well you think about this if 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.900 you were to say have gone in here and disturbed 00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:10.529 those rings Would you have, in essence, just 00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:13.769 ruined the whole fight? Maybe. Where else would 00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:15.250 you want to hide something like that stone fragment? 00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:18.769 Behind all these enemies in a safe place where 00:18:18.769 --> 00:18:21.789 you wouldn't just wander in. This had to have 00:18:21.789 --> 00:18:23.349 been the work of the armored guard you just fought. 00:18:23.609 --> 00:18:27.509 Okay. Well, Blanche is going to pick up the stone 00:18:27.509 --> 00:18:31.410 and she'll walk down the hall just to poke her 00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:34.049 head in as Dresden's doing whatever Dresden's 00:18:34.049 --> 00:18:36.950 doing just to announce that I found the other 00:18:36.950 --> 00:18:40.430 stone. We've got two of them now. Nice work. 00:18:41.009 --> 00:18:44.630 Dresden. It's good to you. Yeah. You're going 00:18:44.630 --> 00:18:46.650 through this room. You're doing a good thorough 00:18:46.650 --> 00:18:48.990 investigation. I think Jaune's helping, and you're 00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:53.230 kind of moving things around. You see a few things. 00:18:53.650 --> 00:18:55.369 Now, the desk I think we mentioned doesn't have 00:18:55.369 --> 00:18:57.049 a whole lot on it. It just kind of looks like 00:18:57.049 --> 00:18:59.069 the head librarian desk, but you kind of move 00:18:59.069 --> 00:19:00.990 around to the bed, and there's like a number 00:19:00.990 --> 00:19:02.910 of stacks of books kind of off to the side of 00:19:02.910 --> 00:19:04.509 the bed, and there's also a nightstand with a 00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:10.160 drawer on it. And you look at those books. You 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.480 see that all the ones next to the bed are of 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.579 a more personal nature. It looks like there are 00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:17.039 a lot of comedies, as well as one book detailing 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.900 the great pranks of history. Maybe this librarian's 00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:22.400 a bit of a prankster character. Okay. And this 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.619 actually, that book has a number of color -coded 00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:26.079 bookmarks sticking out of it. Like, we gotta 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:28.319 remember this prank and this one. Just some silly 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.779 stuff. But then you pull open the cabinet of 00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:35.339 that nightstand, and you find this little brown 00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:39.680 book. You pick up. There's no title on it. It's 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.619 a little different from the others. You flip 00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:45.420 it open. It's a ledger detailing various requests 00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:48.180 for books that are not in the library stock. 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.380 Oh, shit. And we'll call it there. Shut the fuck 00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:55.059 up. Remember, you got to do the thing, too. You 00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:57.319 got to wave your arms and point at me. If you 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.960 don't do that, I won't say anything. And you 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.960 can't say it. You can't say it. I can say it. 00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:04.880 No, it's not allowed. It's illegal. It's me. 00:20:06.089 --> 00:20:09.089 They're going to be so mad at you. But I won't 00:20:09.089 --> 00:20:15.289 be. You flip through the pages, I imagine, of 00:20:15.289 --> 00:20:17.990 this ledger. You're just kind of scanning, scanning 00:20:17.990 --> 00:20:22.869 with your one eye. You get to the last sort of 00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:25.230 end points of it. There's more blank pages beyond, 00:20:25.369 --> 00:20:27.289 but you see the last part of the writing. Most 00:20:27.289 --> 00:20:30.289 recent titles requested. And you see that these 00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:31.970 ones were written with maybe a tremor in the 00:20:31.970 --> 00:20:34.869 hand. The handwriting just a little different. 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.259 And all of them seem to be books on necromancy 00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:43.200 from various authors and eras. You see fragments 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.180 of the mortal soul. You see the nameless text. 00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:51.420 You see made to linger. You see Mathakis Explorations 00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:54.640 of Undeath Volumes 2 and 3. And you see one called 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:59.740 Beyond Flesh and Blood. All titles. All of them 00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:03.680 requested by the same person. And there's a note 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.890 underneath them that just says simply, to be 00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:11.150 delivered to Kejo Kamal personally. Whoa. Blanche 00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:14.809 is just outside the door? Yes. I think Dresden 00:21:14.809 --> 00:21:18.170 will turn over to Blanche. Get a load of this. 00:21:18.549 --> 00:21:23.009 And he'll toss the book over to Blanche. Blanche 00:21:23.009 --> 00:21:26.230 looks down and reads it. Simbon told us that 00:21:26.230 --> 00:21:31.650 Kejo had a room here, just like the other staff. 00:21:32.329 --> 00:21:34.950 Do you think he would have... Left his books 00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:37.750 in there. We didn't see it in his classroom. 00:21:37.869 --> 00:21:40.269 I suppose we could double check now that we know 00:21:40.269 --> 00:21:43.289 what we're looking for. The clock keeps ticking 00:21:43.289 --> 00:21:46.650 faster. Maybe. Maybe you're right. Maybe we should 00:21:46.650 --> 00:21:53.390 forge ahead. I had an idea I want to run by you, 00:21:53.430 --> 00:21:58.509 Dresden, regarding the armor, the AG -6 out there. 00:21:59.269 --> 00:22:02.589 How would you feel about using it to set a trap? 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.259 I like the way you think. If we can move the 00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:13.019 armor together as one piece and throw it into 00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:18.319 the room with the ropa, pull it in, and maybe 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.660 one of the other students coming by thinks that 00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:24.279 there's a free stone for the taking, and we can 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.000 shut them in the room and let them fight the 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.859 ropa and deal with what's left. I like it. Might 00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:33.480 buy us a little time to take a rest as well. 00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:38.940 I hear you need one of those. I could use a couple 00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:42.579 of spell slots back. I think our sidekicks both 00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:46.440 took a couple of hits as well. I'm fine, Roof. 00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:50.599 No, you are much better now. I think I gave you 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:55.519 some potions. Yeah, he's 52 out of 76 now. He's 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.140 doing okay. I don't even hurt, Roof. Let's keep 00:22:58.140 --> 00:23:02.599 going. So do you think that's a feasible... Yeah, 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.480 I think so. I mean, it's at least something that's 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.559 working while we're resting. Maybe working while 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.279 we're resting. Right. It's better than resting 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.619 and not having anything else going on. Yeah. 00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:18.920 Yeah, that's a good idea. What the heck? Give 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.079 it a shot. David's too encouraging. I will say, 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.960 the one thing that might work against you... 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.730 Go ahead and roll me... Gosh, roll me... Either 00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:30.549 insight or straight intelligence with advantage. 00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:36.130 Who? Either of you. Insight with advantage? Yeah. 00:23:36.309 --> 00:23:42.890 Shit. Okay. Now I did a real crit. Okay. All 00:23:42.890 --> 00:23:47.349 right. 21. 25. So you're thinking about this. 00:23:47.910 --> 00:23:51.329 You have this plan to draw the enemies out, to 00:23:51.329 --> 00:23:54.089 have them essentially go and face the roper. 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.400 But you've noticed one thing. One thing has become 00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:58.859 a straight fact to you as you've kind of explored 00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:03.240 this place. This final exam has turned into a 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.859 standstill, a sort of, what's the word here? 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:08.960 Stalemate? Stalemate. I was going to say checkmate, 00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:10.980 and I was like, no, it's the opposite. Stalemate. 00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:13.799 Everyone seems to be hunkered down, bolstering 00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.900 their defenses, utilizing their own sort of magical 00:24:15.900 --> 00:24:18.420 tricks to get the edge on their opponents, and 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:20.960 everyone would probably expect the same from 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.059 everyone else. People are going to be very wary 00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:27.519 of traps set by you because they're all prepared 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:31.099 for traps. That's what their expectation is. 00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:34.200 Any room could be. This place has been divided 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:35.940 into territories from what you've seen. There 00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:38.319 has been fighting, but you've been here for some 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.460 hours now. You've heard nothing. You've only 00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:43.500 stumbled into combats that have been waiting 00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:46.279 for you. You heard explosions before. There were 00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.960 fights, but perhaps people were hurt, went to 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.740 lick their wounds. set their own machinations 00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:56.319 into play, you don't know. But it's still worth 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:01.160 a try. I suppose we could at least set the trap, 00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:04.859 throw the armor in the room, leave the door ajar 00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:08.500 if we come back by there later. Like checking 00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:13.720 a fish trap, see if any bait has crawled in. 00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:20.359 You and your analogies. We got nothing to lose 00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:26.230 by it. Yeah, you grab the plate legs. I'll grab... 00:25:26.230 --> 00:25:29.630 It's like pieces. You're just gathering them 00:25:29.630 --> 00:25:32.609 all up, armloads of this thing. Take a few trips. 00:25:33.029 --> 00:25:35.250 Are you exploring any new rooms as you make your 00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:37.130 way over there? Or are you just going to go back 00:25:37.130 --> 00:25:39.490 the ways you've already cleared? I think for 00:25:39.490 --> 00:25:42.650 now, we would just go back the same way. Out 00:25:42.650 --> 00:25:44.369 into the hallway between the two library wings, 00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:46.369 to the north, to the private study chambers, 00:25:46.529 --> 00:25:51.170 and then cutting to the west. To the closed door. 00:25:52.049 --> 00:25:53.509 Yeah, you heard, when you walked away before, 00:25:53.589 --> 00:25:55.430 there were pounding tendrils against the door. 00:25:55.470 --> 00:25:59.289 Now you hear nothing. Uh, let's see. Should I 00:25:59.289 --> 00:26:03.730 open the door? Be tossing it in? Yeah, while... 00:26:03.730 --> 00:26:07.730 Okay, I finally found a reason to use this spell, 00:26:07.890 --> 00:26:11.210 and I can cast it as a ritual. So, during the 00:26:11.210 --> 00:26:14.529 time it took us to gather everything up, over 00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:19.650 the ten minutes or so, Blanche... cast floating 00:26:19.650 --> 00:26:25.009 disc to gather all of the armor pieces on so 00:26:25.009 --> 00:26:29.309 she's just going to open the door and let the 00:26:29.309 --> 00:26:33.529 floating disc go in and dispel it to drop the 00:26:33.529 --> 00:26:37.849 armor on the floor in front of the roper so if 00:26:37.849 --> 00:26:39.930 you could do that in the first place why did 00:26:39.930 --> 00:26:42.849 we carry the whole thing over here you guys have 00:26:42.849 --> 00:26:44.910 done that the whole time okay well maybe that's 00:26:44.910 --> 00:26:51.930 maybe that's what i meant So when they leave 00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:54.009 the room now, they'll just leave the door ajar. 00:26:54.210 --> 00:26:57.250 Okay. As the thing goes in, I think you see that 00:26:57.250 --> 00:27:01.089 eye opens. It clatters. You see tendrils come 00:27:01.089 --> 00:27:03.329 out, snap out, almost like greedily reaching, 00:27:03.470 --> 00:27:06.930 pulling. I think you hear metal and grinding 00:27:06.930 --> 00:27:11.269 on stone as it tries to bite and spits it out. 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:14.940 Just like a horrible cacophony of sound as you 00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:17.400 kind of slowly kind of keep the door, close it 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.000 a little bit, keep it somewhat ajar. And that 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.759 sound just keeps echoing, tries to feast. I believe 00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.119 the faculty rooms were in the northeast, same 00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:31.220 as the dorms. I suppose we could head that direction 00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:38.980 and try to find Kejo's room. Okay. As we're walking 00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:43.059 Dresden, do you mind if I... I'm sorry, this 00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:49.720 has been bugging me. See your potato book? Don't 00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:57.220 let him have it. Here. After some reflection, 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.380 I found it strange that the DM sought to make 00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:05.420 note of it and how it was the only book that 00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:07.960 was open in the whole library. No, no, it's too 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.700 late now. You go to the library, the doors are 00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:14.640 all locked. As we're walking, Blanche just wants 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:19.319 to thumb through this potato book. You thumb 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:21.940 through it, and it's just a book on potatoes, 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.519 but there's that one line highlighted about the 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:27.160 wonderful things that can happen if you just 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.579 take care of inanimate things. But you see nothing 00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:33.140 else. That's the only thing of note in this book. 00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:37.720 And yet, something is bothering you. There's 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.440 something wrong here. You come to that whole 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.480 room and just something, something is bothering 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.579 you. Dresden, do you mind if we detour through 00:28:47.579 --> 00:28:51.299 the library on our way to the teacher dorms? 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:54.579 This is really going against the idea that we 00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:57.559 were going to take a freaking rest. We can find 00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:59.859 a time to rest. I thought that's the way we were 00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:01.400 going to do it. Well, maybe we can rest in the 00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.440 library. I was thinking we would try to get to... 00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.859 Kejo's room and maybe rest in there. He's got 00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:10.019 a really nice bed. He's got a really nice big 00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:14.799 bed. I mean, at this point, Justin's following 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:20.019 Blanche. He's still healthy as hell. He has no 00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:23.400 concerns about arrest. I'm thinking that if we 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.819 can... I think we should maybe try to fight one 00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:31.410 more of these guys. Before taking a long rest. 00:29:31.630 --> 00:29:35.069 Famous last words. I know. But I'm down some 00:29:35.069 --> 00:29:38.130 spell slots. We've got enough potions. We can 00:29:38.130 --> 00:29:41.150 pass them around. Yeah. Dresden's not all that 00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:45.950 hurt. Okay. He doesn't need to recover anything. 00:29:46.089 --> 00:29:48.930 Yeah. I'm going to guess that we maybe get one 00:29:48.930 --> 00:29:51.670 long rest in this whole thing. And if we do it 00:29:51.670 --> 00:29:56.569 now, we still have potentially two AG6s and then 00:29:56.569 --> 00:30:00.789 Kejo to fight. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can take 00:30:00.789 --> 00:30:02.730 as many risks as you want. I'll be counting hours. 00:30:02.950 --> 00:30:07.930 I won't tell you why. Sure, right. So, heading 00:30:07.930 --> 00:30:10.289 back to the library. You were by the rope before. 00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:12.569 I like to imagine you head to the south, move 00:30:12.569 --> 00:30:14.269 to the short -term containment for the beast, 00:30:14.349 --> 00:30:17.930 move into the spell training ground, move past 00:30:17.930 --> 00:30:24.829 that AG -6 corpse with the mixing sort of stirrer 00:30:24.829 --> 00:30:28.329 still in hand, and maybe you just... Obviously 00:30:28.329 --> 00:30:30.890 it's not anything more than an impression you 00:30:30.890 --> 00:30:33.910 have, but it just feels like this armor is resting 00:30:33.910 --> 00:30:37.049 more peacefully now. The murderer dispatched. 00:30:37.650 --> 00:30:40.829 And you press into the west wing of the library 00:30:40.829 --> 00:30:44.089 once again. A room you searched before and found 00:30:44.089 --> 00:30:47.430 nothing out of place. And yet something is bothering 00:30:47.430 --> 00:30:52.450 you. Near where the book was, are there like 00:30:52.450 --> 00:30:57.559 any lamps? Or... There's lamps in all the tables. 00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:02.059 Okay. Well, okay. Blanche wants to start at least 00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:06.039 at the table where Dresden found the book. Okay. 00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:10.359 She wants to give the tables and chairs and lamps 00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:14.400 by that book a once over. This is tough. Because 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:15.900 you already rolled investigation check in this 00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:18.839 room and you failed. So what I'm going to do 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.559 is I'm not going to give you any new information. 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.349 But... Something is bothering you because nothing 00:31:26.349 --> 00:31:28.190 was out of place and it just seems like something's 00:31:28.190 --> 00:31:31.990 wrong here. You don't see anything. Not by the 00:31:31.990 --> 00:31:37.130 table, chairs, the lamp, nothing. Okay. You also 00:31:37.130 --> 00:31:40.829 mentioned that there was a library section on 00:31:40.829 --> 00:31:45.970 agriculture. I did. Can Blanche go scan the books 00:31:45.970 --> 00:31:48.730 in that section? Yeah. Yeah, you go through, 00:31:48.849 --> 00:31:52.109 you scan it again. No role. I'm not going to 00:31:52.109 --> 00:31:52.990 give you that role. I'm not going to give you 00:31:52.990 --> 00:31:54.690 any new information, but you see the same thing 00:31:54.690 --> 00:31:58.410 you saw before. Nothing out of place. Did Dresden 00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:01.990 investigate anything? He just walked around, 00:32:02.150 --> 00:32:05.369 right? I don't think he investigated, no. Can 00:32:05.369 --> 00:32:08.609 Dresden investigate? I'll allow it. Cool. I'll 00:32:08.609 --> 00:32:12.089 allow it. You see Blanche looking around. Cool. 00:32:12.109 --> 00:32:21.680 Button for advantage. Okay. Whoa. Okay. 19. It's 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.099 not the best I was hoping for. I love this because 00:32:25.099 --> 00:32:28.279 it keeps telling the same story. Blanche gets 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:32.299 stuck up on something because it's almost too 00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:36.940 dumb for Blanche's mind to become. Because nothing's 00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:40.740 out of place. So why is there a book in your 00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:43.099 hands that doesn't have a spot on the shelf? 00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.519 That book ain't supposed to be in there. Oh, 00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:50.900 okay. Yeah, so where did it come from? Or... 00:32:51.309 --> 00:32:54.069 what's in its spot if there's nothing out of 00:32:54.069 --> 00:32:57.329 place and you have the book this book was not 00:32:57.329 --> 00:32:59.730 returned to its rightful spot but there's no 00:32:59.730 --> 00:33:02.049 spot that you can notice for it so something 00:33:02.049 --> 00:33:05.269 is wrong you're hitting it's hitting you like 00:33:05.269 --> 00:33:06.970 drives into you kind of look and you kind of 00:33:06.970 --> 00:33:11.150 note this you guys have to realize there is something 00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:14.309 wrong here We have to learn the Dewey Decimal 00:33:14.309 --> 00:33:17.609 System. Bench knows that. 20 Intelligence, you 00:33:17.609 --> 00:33:21.509 got this. Your brain is a library. We literally 00:33:21.509 --> 00:33:25.769 had an episode about that. Do you want to go 00:33:25.769 --> 00:33:28.190 to the spot? You look at the book's cover. You 00:33:28.190 --> 00:33:31.670 kind of consider where it should be. Trace the 00:33:31.670 --> 00:33:33.190 shelf. Do you want to find the spot the book 00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:36.029 should be? You're right, Dresden. Every book 00:33:36.029 --> 00:33:40.529 has a spot, but this one. So yeah, she'll go 00:33:40.529 --> 00:33:43.390 find the spot. Does Blanche have an idea enough 00:33:43.390 --> 00:33:45.470 where she could point out a direction and we 00:33:45.470 --> 00:33:48.589 could send Dresden's Echo to the spot? Yeah, 00:33:48.650 --> 00:33:50.130 I think you could point it out pretty easily. 00:33:50.829 --> 00:33:54.529 I like it. Okay. We'll do it that way. Maybe 00:33:54.529 --> 00:33:56.190 I can find this in my notes. I thought you were 00:33:56.190 --> 00:34:01.210 never going to come back here again. And Dresden 00:34:01.210 --> 00:34:05.150 can see. He can see through his eyes. Okay. You're 00:34:05.150 --> 00:34:07.799 seeing Dresden's eyes. You move down and... You 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.039 follow Blanche's exact coordinates, and you're 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:14.539 pointing suddenly at a book that is called The 00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:17.559 Root of the Issue. But that book isn't where 00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:19.940 it should be based on title. This is where The 00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:22.780 Art of Potatoes should be. So you grab the book, 00:34:22.780 --> 00:34:26.019 and you slide it out. I think you're the one 00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:27.920 that was in the room, so as you're pulling this 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:32.619 out, you're thinking, this is so stupid, it's 00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:35.739 almost like a prank. And that librarian had a 00:34:35.739 --> 00:34:40.440 sense of humor. You pull this book out. Jesus. 00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:42.300 Do you want to open this thing? You want to look? 00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:47.400 Yeah. You realize the spine on this book is sort 00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.159 of a hastily made fake. Once it's pulled out, 00:34:50.300 --> 00:34:53.059 you can see that only the part that was sticking 00:34:53.059 --> 00:34:56.119 out from the actual shelf really looks professional. 00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:58.179 The rest of it, as you slide out, just looks 00:34:58.179 --> 00:35:02.159 like a totally different book. And the cover 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.550 of this book simply says, Thank you for caring. 00:35:06.150 --> 00:35:08.429 Maybe you open the cover to the next page and 00:35:08.429 --> 00:35:11.070 there's an inside cover that says, Now you've 00:35:11.070 --> 00:35:14.849 earned a little mischief. You flip the page, 00:35:14.929 --> 00:35:18.610 Dresden, and you have no idea what you're looking 00:35:18.610 --> 00:35:23.750 at. No clue. Because you could not possibly read 00:35:23.750 --> 00:35:27.949 a wizard's spellbook. And we'll call it there. 00:35:39.819 --> 00:35:42.179 Oh, yeah. Holy shit. You want to give this thing 00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:43.840 to Blanche? You want to keep it? It's yours? 00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:47.199 Blanche, you're going to want to get over there. 00:35:47.940 --> 00:35:49.920 I mean, we did say the next cool thing was yours, 00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:56.260 but... This school has nothing for me. It's true. 00:35:56.460 --> 00:35:58.440 You got a dagger. It's cool. This is why I dropped 00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:04.659 out. Yeah, Blanche will... politely hold her 00:36:04.659 --> 00:36:07.920 hand out to the echo. Can't believe you went 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.559 back for this. Oh, I re -listened and I was like, 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.380 it's really weird that he just, just the way 00:36:13.380 --> 00:36:16.159 he mentioned it. You were, I was going to be 00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:18.960 so happy to tell you about this after the arc. 00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:22.280 Oh my God. And watch you cry. Watch you crumble 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.280 to the floor like the loser you are. Ow. Weep. 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:31.280 Holy shit. Ouch. All right. Now that I'm here. 00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:33.449 You open this book. And you scan it. You take 00:36:33.449 --> 00:36:36.349 a moment just to scan through the spells. You 00:36:36.349 --> 00:36:38.449 don't have them in mind yet to put them in your 00:36:38.449 --> 00:36:40.349 own book. You don't understand them, but you 00:36:40.349 --> 00:36:42.610 know what they are. You get the gist of them 00:36:42.610 --> 00:36:46.050 just by looking. Inside this spell book, you 00:36:46.050 --> 00:36:51.630 find the spells. Unseen Servant. Magic Mouth. 00:36:52.929 --> 00:36:58.010 Gaseous Form. Stinking Cloud. Here's a really 00:36:58.010 --> 00:37:00.940 weird one. I took this from the Unearthed Arcana 00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:06.619 7 book, which is known as Modern Magic. I think 00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:07.920 this one kind of fits for our settings. It's 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.659 kind of Unearthed Arcana. It's a little bit loose 00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:12.059 in the official territory. It's a wizard spell, 00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.000 but it's more put out for a modern setting. But 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.659 I think this is cool. I think this is insanely 00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:21.780 cool. It's a spell called Invisibility to Cameras. 00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:26.739 It specifically works on diamond recorders. Holy 00:37:26.739 --> 00:37:34.400 shit. Amazing. Yeah, that's okay. Whoa. Now we're 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.559 getting some cool shit. That's going to be super 00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:41.599 useful. Yeah. Whoa. Okay. Well, maybe now there 00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.880 is another reason to take a long rest, but I 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:50.219 can't help but feeling, Dresden, that I think 00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:53.500 we should at least just push on to Kejiho's office, 00:37:53.699 --> 00:37:57.179 his rooms, I mean, and see what we can find there. 00:37:58.030 --> 00:37:59.809 Blanche is like, we might find an episode ending. 00:38:00.610 --> 00:38:06.989 The pressure's on. I'm right with you. So, right, 00:38:07.070 --> 00:38:09.789 David, are we correct that Simbone said in the 00:38:09.789 --> 00:38:12.690 northeast was both the student dorms and the... 00:38:12.690 --> 00:38:16.690 Simbone said that the more eastern part of the 00:38:16.690 --> 00:38:19.289 northern side is staff. East and north is staff 00:38:19.289 --> 00:38:22.250 dormitories. Okay. Students are kind of more 00:38:22.250 --> 00:38:24.909 in the northeastern section. And at the very 00:38:24.909 --> 00:38:28.599 kind of top north area is where the... faculty 00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:32.820 have their more exquisite bedrooms. The hallway, 00:38:32.940 --> 00:38:35.199 you have looked down a hallway at the end of 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.239 where these private study chambers, that long 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.139 hallway doors spread out, and given Cimbone's 00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:42.340 instruction, you think maybe you're looking actually 00:38:42.340 --> 00:38:45.780 out towards the faculty, at least whatever's 00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:47.960 pressed against that northern wall. I think that's 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:50.659 where Dresden probably would prefer to go next. 00:38:51.099 --> 00:38:55.179 His thinking is he wants to stay as far away 00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:59.500 from the main grand entrance for as long as possible. 00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:02.340 Hell yeah. Okay, yeah. So we've kind of come 00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:05.280 up to the side of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. 00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:08.059 Yeah, we did like 6 o 'clock to 12 o 'clock. 00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:11.719 And now we'll just continue on 12 o 'clock. I'm 00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:12.940 going to need you to bring your tokens up over 00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:15.739 here. I need to know exactly where you're going. 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.460 You get to the start of that hallway again. You're 00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:22.440 looking down. This long hall. All these doors 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.260 set. And I'm not going to make you open every 00:39:25.260 --> 00:39:27.000 individual door. As you kind of go to areas, 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.199 I'll basically unlock it in sections to make 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.119 it a little easier. But we're still going to 00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:33.280 take it one section at a time because who knows? 00:39:33.739 --> 00:39:38.099 Do we want to each take a side? And just bam, 00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:41.380 bam, bam? Or do we want to go slower? Let's go 00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:44.639 a little slower and just have Blanche follow 00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:48.519 Dresden. Okay. Just because I'm a scaled. Yep. 00:39:49.139 --> 00:39:52.239 Hell yeah. Cool. Okay. Yeah, I think Justin's 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:54.199 going to first just go on the first one on the 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.199 right here. First one on the right. Looks like 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:58.219 that connects to the east wing down below it. 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:03.179 Sorry, which one's right? Hang on. Okay. Down. 00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.019 I have a problem with those. Thank you. Down 00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:07.239 is so much better. I have a thing with that one 00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:09.699 right. That's fine. That was big. I have a quirk. 00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:12.659 I'm a quirky fella. And I'm not mad. And you 00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:16.820 go to the washroom. Sorry. It's a washroom. You 00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:19.639 open the door and you're just looking into just 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:23.199 looks like a showers kind of area. Nice, you 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:26.360 know, gilded sort of faucet running over it. 00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.699 All right. White porcelain tile. Nothing too 00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:33.719 exceptional here. Cool. So, yeah, unless Blanche, 00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:36.019 there's nothing of interest to Dresden there. 00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.639 And unless Blanche says anything, he's just going 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.400 to move on to the next door. I need to do some 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:45.559 laundry. You take a short rest. Hey, if you guys 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.219 want to not be stinky, you could always just 00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:50.179 like do that. I mean, it's there. Go to the next 00:40:50.179 --> 00:40:51.480 door. Go to the next door on the right. Yeah. 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.880 You open it and you just see it looks like a 00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:57.300 dorm. As you open this one up, it's totally cleared 00:40:57.300 --> 00:40:59.960 out. Okay. But given that there's two bedrooms, 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:01.980 it's a lot smaller. You're thinking, okay, we're 00:41:01.980 --> 00:41:03.880 maybe the southern side. It's the student side. 00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:05.360 It's the student side. Okay. You're looking at 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.960 two beds in a small student dormitory. Sure. 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:13.280 Worth a rolling investigation. I'll tell you 00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:16.940 no. Okay, cool. Going to the left. Going to the 00:41:16.940 --> 00:41:19.780 left, you open this door up, and what you actually 00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:22.300 see is a hallway leading down. There's a door 00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:25.699 on the end that you know leads outside, and there 00:41:25.699 --> 00:41:28.099 are two doors on either side. I'm going to give 00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:30.659 you all of them. Okay. You open them all. One 00:41:30.659 --> 00:41:33.840 of them is a toilet, a shared toilet for this 00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:36.639 area. And you see three much nicer dormitories, 00:41:36.659 --> 00:41:39.579 single bed, wide bed. They're definitely on the 00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:42.320 smaller side, about 20 by 20 foot, but they are 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:44.119 definitely much nicer than what you saw down 00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.659 south. Yeah. You know, the staff here are well 00:41:46.659 --> 00:41:50.300 taken care of. You're moving in. You can tell 00:41:50.300 --> 00:41:53.500 by context clues, maybe a couple of, like, books 00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:56.460 still on a shelf or some, like, homework that 00:41:56.460 --> 00:41:58.420 was unfinished and just kind of left ungraded. 00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:02.019 One of them is the bardic arts instructor. One 00:42:02.019 --> 00:42:05.400 of them is the alchemy instructor. You also, 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.679 on the other side, see the artificery instructor. 00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.880 You see the name Ross Cujo, which I wrote down 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:16.500 because I said I made it up a few days ago. And 00:42:16.500 --> 00:42:19.389 here, go ahead and make a check. I'll tell you 00:42:19.389 --> 00:42:20.710 where. There's a lot of room, so I'll tell you 00:42:20.710 --> 00:42:22.849 where. Okay, cool, cool. Just save some time. 00:42:25.090 --> 00:42:30.070 21. 21. You're looking in. I think maybe it's 00:42:30.070 --> 00:42:32.349 like you're searching the bed. You reach under 00:42:32.349 --> 00:42:34.269 the pillow. Your hand touches something, and 00:42:34.269 --> 00:42:40.070 you pull out a little key. Oh, so that's what 00:42:40.070 --> 00:42:42.389 that word key is on the map. I was waiting for 00:42:42.389 --> 00:42:47.179 you to stop saying it. No, thank God. Stop it. 00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:51.320 That's illegal. You cheaters. Well, then when 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:55.960 you said the name, I thought you put key there 00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:59.559 as like refer to key for the name. Oh, that's 00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:03.320 so funny. Nope. Instructor. Nope. There's a key 00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:06.300 in that room. That was a GM letter. But I didn't 00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:08.179 want to like interrupt you again because when 00:43:08.179 --> 00:43:09.980 I did it earlier and I thought you made a mistake, 00:43:10.099 --> 00:43:14.320 you're like, no, I meant to do that. I never 00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:16.300 make mistakes. That was awesome. That was awesome. 00:43:16.340 --> 00:43:17.880 He's not even mad. Look at him. He's not even 00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:26.239 mad. Look at Al. All right. Get out of there. 00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:28.980 Get out of that room. You're done. You want to 00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:31.380 keep going? Yeah, I'm going to keep going. What's 00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:34.320 that key for? I don't know, but he wants to peer 00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:36.820 into the Barter Constructors room. Hell yeah. 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.840 Are there any books in there? I will say there's... 00:43:41.150 --> 00:43:44.489 Boy, does music do books? I don't know. Does 00:43:44.489 --> 00:43:47.030 music do books? There's not necessarily books. 00:43:47.210 --> 00:43:48.869 I just said, I don't know, like it was an actual 00:43:48.869 --> 00:43:50.949 thing. There's like sheet music. There's like 00:43:50.949 --> 00:43:52.769 composed sheet music for various instruments. 00:43:52.869 --> 00:43:55.170 Yeah, it'd be so nice if there was like a convenient 00:43:55.170 --> 00:43:58.690 way to carry all of that sheet music. Cool. In 00:43:58.690 --> 00:44:01.949 a book. Yeah. Damn it. Okay, cool. He's going 00:44:01.949 --> 00:44:03.989 to grab whatever books he can. He's starting 00:44:03.989 --> 00:44:08.929 to get mad. He grabbed the books. Yeah, he's 00:44:08.929 --> 00:44:11.909 bringing the books with him. He's got his buddy 00:44:11.909 --> 00:44:13.889 in mind. Yeah, nice little gift for Jules. Yeah, 00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:15.869 he's got his buddy. You guys are characters. 00:44:16.230 --> 00:44:18.190 Go ahead and roll intelligence. Oh. Because you 00:44:18.190 --> 00:44:19.510 guys have gold degenerates. Your characters might 00:44:19.510 --> 00:44:22.170 not. Wait, what? Yeah, go ahead and roll. Straight 00:44:22.170 --> 00:44:24.510 intelligence check, both of you. See if you're 00:44:24.510 --> 00:44:30.639 right or something. Okay. Ten. Five. And a lot 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:32.000 going on. You have no idea where that key goes. 00:44:32.139 --> 00:44:35.940 Yeah. All right, so. Cool. Now, David, now you 00:44:35.940 --> 00:44:37.860 have to figure out what is all in that stuff 00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:39.440 that I'm going to be giving to Jules when I see 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:43.639 him next. Okay, sure. That's your homework. Ooh, 00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:47.380 school joke. It's all hot cross buns. Just in 00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:50.699 every. One a penny, two a penny. All right, let's 00:44:50.699 --> 00:44:52.679 keep moving. All right, keep moving. Going down 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.480 the hall. Next right side room. I'm going to 00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:56.820 give you the next two right side rooms. Cool. 00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:59.389 Nice guy. Boom, two more student dorms. Again, 00:44:59.590 --> 00:45:02.090 this place was cleared out. All the students, 00:45:02.210 --> 00:45:04.369 well, supposedly all the students were made to 00:45:04.369 --> 00:45:05.969 leave. And so there's nothing really there. Beds 00:45:05.969 --> 00:45:08.829 are made. And you see, again, two apiece, these 00:45:08.829 --> 00:45:12.889 two student rooms. Another door on the left. 00:45:13.070 --> 00:45:17.369 Hold on, hold on. Sorry, real fast. The key room, 00:45:17.469 --> 00:45:20.849 which instructor was that? That was the artificiary 00:45:20.849 --> 00:45:23.610 instructor. So it's right there. Yeah. Oh, you 00:45:23.610 --> 00:45:27.030 can see that because I didn't. I'm going to leave 00:45:27.030 --> 00:45:28.929 that when I put the map on Discord. The key just 00:45:28.929 --> 00:45:34.409 sitting there stupidly. I'm mad. Okay, that's 00:45:34.409 --> 00:45:36.349 fine. That's fine. We'll deal with it later. 00:45:36.809 --> 00:45:40.429 Okay. You got any thoughts over there? Well, 00:45:40.489 --> 00:45:42.650 I was wondering about the, like, roper cage or 00:45:42.650 --> 00:45:45.750 something. I was trying to remember what, if 00:45:45.750 --> 00:45:47.769 any, locked things we've come across. You're 00:45:47.769 --> 00:45:51.079 going to be so pissed. Well, I mean... It's probably 00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:53.940 something in the Artificery Workshop or the Artificery 00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:57.340 Supplies Shop or Spell Supplies. I'll just tell 00:45:57.340 --> 00:46:00.219 you. Is it the key to the box? Oh, there's a 00:46:00.219 --> 00:46:01.940 private... Is this the key to the box? There's 00:46:01.940 --> 00:46:05.179 a box in the Artificery Supply Room. Yeah, yeah. 00:46:05.340 --> 00:46:06.900 And you saw that when you first... It was a million 00:46:06.900 --> 00:46:08.480 episodes ago. You first saw it and you were like, 00:46:08.539 --> 00:46:10.599 oh, we might need that. So there's a key. And 00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.179 you might think, hey, that goes to that. I'll 00:46:13.179 --> 00:46:14.599 give it to you. Your characters would remember 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:16.380 that. It's only been like a couple hours from 00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:18.699 then. It's been a month for us. No longer. Yeah. 00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:20.380 Hold your horses, Blanche. We'll get that loot 00:46:20.380 --> 00:46:26.400 on the way out. You going to go to the next block 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.079 of faculty dorms? Yeah, I think so. I'll open 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:33.699 up the four. Boom. Another toilet. You also see 00:46:33.699 --> 00:46:37.300 rooms for... The Abjuration, Enchantment, and 00:46:37.300 --> 00:46:38.960 Illusion Professors. You can kind of make it 00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:42.239 out again. Okay. Homework, sort of utensils used 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.880 for spellcraft and personal stuff. These are 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:47.659 also largely, like, any personal items have been 00:46:47.659 --> 00:46:49.800 taken because the empathy is also gone. Okay. 00:46:49.940 --> 00:46:53.239 Yeah. Not worth a check? I will say, I'll tell 00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:56.719 you no. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Unless Blanche has 00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:58.940 any other objections. Yeah, I mean, we're going 00:46:58.940 --> 00:47:02.059 to get to Kejo's eventually. Hell yeah. So, on 00:47:02.059 --> 00:47:05.000 the right. Let's go. Keep on going. Oh, that's 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.840 the next Catholic block on the right. Okay. You 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:09.500 see you're entering what looks like there's also 00:47:09.500 --> 00:47:12.119 an L in the floor here. Can I get closer? You 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.420 can see that the hallway moves down towards, 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:17.280 you know, two more doors on the other side. Probably 00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:19.420 student dorms. And another door that looks like 00:47:19.420 --> 00:47:21.380 it seems to go out into another district of the 00:47:21.380 --> 00:47:24.650 school. But you take a step into that sort of, 00:47:24.650 --> 00:47:28.309 that spot between, you know, where the door leads 00:47:28.309 --> 00:47:30.829 to the north into more faculty dorms, maybe Kejo's 00:47:30.829 --> 00:47:32.789 room, who knows. You're like right in the sort 00:47:32.789 --> 00:47:35.409 of exact northmost point in the school, the sort 00:47:35.409 --> 00:47:40.570 of central point. Hey guys, hey fellas, can I 00:47:40.570 --> 00:47:43.250 do a take you back, C's? Can I do a take you, 00:47:43.309 --> 00:47:45.570 can I do the sting? He's got a sting. Can I do 00:47:45.570 --> 00:47:47.789 the sting? I got a fucking sting. I got a sting, 00:47:47.849 --> 00:47:49.809 all right. Can I do a sting? I can do a sting? 00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:53.920 Oh, that rules ass. And we'll call it there. 00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:58.139 Oh, no! You might stop it! No! I love the show. 00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.539 That rules ass. So we stumbled into somebody's 00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:05.400 trap. Yeah, we did. Be very honest with me. What? 00:48:05.780 --> 00:48:09.019 Now, Dresden was in the lead. Blanche, you were 00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:11.900 right there. I could see you on the map in the 00:48:11.900 --> 00:48:13.599 square right next to it. It means Keo's going 00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:15.139 to be right beside you, which is what Keo does. 00:48:15.300 --> 00:48:18.880 And Jaune, right beyond you. Sure, yeah. Okay. 00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:21.440 All of you in a line, Dresden in the front. You 00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:27.820 take a step there. Mm -hmm. Blanche, you see 00:48:27.820 --> 00:48:31.440 it the moment before Dresden finishes that step. 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:36.400 Down the hallway, the door opens, and a figure 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:41.179 half steps out. The plating of Ozen's armor, 00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:46.989 black, and the light. And you see the... gauntlet 00:48:46.989 --> 00:48:51.750 of this armor is crackling with energy as it 00:48:51.750 --> 00:48:55.650 turns to point towards you. As this happens, 00:48:55.909 --> 00:48:58.409 as you see this, as Dresden finishes that step, 00:48:58.590 --> 00:49:04.250 the floor beneath you flashes to light with a 00:49:04.250 --> 00:49:09.369 glyph of warning and all of you just explode. 00:49:14.010 --> 00:49:15.960 It was all a thing! Baby!
