WEBVTT

00:00:01.029 --> 00:00:04.209
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.

00:00:04.509 --> 00:00:06.429
I don't know when you're listening, so I'm gonna

00:00:06.429 --> 00:00:08.830
say all three of those just so you can't say

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:12.080
that I got it wrong. Jeremy here. Just popping

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.039
in before episode eight to ask that if you like

00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:16.640
what you're hearing and you're having a blast

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.399
like we are, please go and leave us a rating

00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.399
and review on whatever platform you're listening

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.219
on. We're trying to build a robust community

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:27.019
here of fellow nerds and fellow fun seekers,

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.440
and ratings and reviews help us immensely in

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.659
climbing the ladder of visibility, so to speak.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.700
We want to thank you so, so much for your continued

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.759
listenership. We appreciate you more than you

00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.500
know. Fantasy pants. does not exist without each

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.020
and every one of you, so I guess you could say

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:48.079
that you all are the real heroes of this story.

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:51.100
And without further ado, I'm going to shut the

00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:53.060
fuck up, and we're going to get into Episode

00:00:53.060 --> 00:01:35.329
8 of Fantasy Pants. Enjoy! Storyteller Orin here,

00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:37.709
looking to fill you in on the latest excitement

00:01:37.709 --> 00:01:41.849
to befall our heroes. After storming away from

00:01:41.849 --> 00:01:45.890
the rather skeevy luminary agent named Rune Rusong,

00:01:46.170 --> 00:01:48.870
our luminaries took a turn towards criminality

00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:52.849
to see their goals met. After spending the day

00:01:52.849 --> 00:01:55.829
at Zebulon's stepmother's, the two snuck back

00:01:55.829 --> 00:01:58.950
into Rune's office and claimed many a prize.

00:01:59.670 --> 00:02:03.189
A recording diamond. filled with footage of their

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:06.890
exploits on Tithos. Two writs of passage to the

00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:11.210
world of Sosunko. A map of a place known as the

00:02:11.210 --> 00:02:15.669
Densing Night Market. And finally, a potential

00:02:15.669 --> 00:02:19.610
ally in the registered total sidekick, John Franklin.

00:02:20.569 --> 00:02:23.050
Having pulled off their burglary, the two flee

00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:25.889
the scene of the crime. But what is it they must

00:02:25.889 --> 00:02:30.740
seek out in the world of Sosunko? Well... We'll

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:39.139
just have to wait and see. Well. So it's John

00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:42.319
Franklin? You said it pretty hard, Juh. Yeah,

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.780
you did. He says it weird in the accent. John

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:48.680
Franklin, then. Look, I didn't say anything.

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.300
Storyteller Oren said it wrong, all right? Bring

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:54.259
up that guy. He's fired. Yeah, well. He's fired.

00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:57.659
We have no way of knowing what's going on anymore.

00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:00.930
It's true. It's true. All right. Hey, Steven.

00:03:01.289 --> 00:03:04.750
David. Focus. I'm here. No banter. Sorry. No

00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:07.729
distractions. We got a lot to get through. You're

00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:11.990
still on the Radiant Citadel. Episode 17? 20?

00:03:12.189 --> 00:03:16.710
Close. 26? 69. Yeah, just about. And you're still

00:03:16.710 --> 00:03:19.389
here. That's eight, right? That's eight. We barely

00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:21.409
even scratched the surface of the book. This

00:03:21.409 --> 00:03:25.210
is eight. Yeah, it's eight. Eight. Eight episodes

00:03:25.210 --> 00:03:30.409
too many in which you're still alive. So. Hopefully

00:03:30.409 --> 00:03:33.909
we last a lot longer than eight. We almost didn't

00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:36.490
last two. Right. I understand the character death

00:03:36.490 --> 00:03:40.550
lurks around every corner, but yeah, let's get

00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:42.949
through episode eight at least. All right. I'd

00:03:42.949 --> 00:03:45.870
like that. We'll try. We'll get through it. I'm

00:03:45.870 --> 00:03:49.370
sure the listeners would like that too. We ought

00:03:49.370 --> 00:03:51.289
to touch base on a couple things before we really

00:03:51.289 --> 00:03:53.830
get into it. First of all, I apologize everyone

00:03:53.830 --> 00:03:57.669
for my. Terrible audio this week. I'm a bit under

00:03:57.669 --> 00:04:01.009
the weather. But we are trying to meet a strict

00:04:01.009 --> 00:04:03.710
timetable, so we're doing this anyway. Because

00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:05.389
you know what? We're into it. We're having fun.

00:04:05.810 --> 00:04:09.349
So, yeah. It's all for you guys. All for you

00:04:09.349 --> 00:04:11.610
guys. Jeremy's going to have so much fun editing

00:04:11.610 --> 00:04:14.669
this voice this week. And you look worse than

00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:21.230
you sound. I'm just kidding. First of all, I

00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:24.459
have a bit of an announcement. We are going to

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:27.100
have, and this is pretty exciting because, you

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:30.879
know, we are super fledgling, our first guest

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.000
star next week. Yeah, this is really exciting.

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.759
It's so exciting. Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. It's

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.199
going to be awesome. So look forward to hearing

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.800
Stomp on this. If you're aware of the Sounds

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.579
Like a Search and Rescue podcast, basically a

00:04:45.579 --> 00:04:47.519
podcast discussing search and rescue efforts

00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:52.639
and hiking in the White Mountains. It's fantastic.

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:56.100
Really cool energy. And Stomp is such a cool

00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:58.680
guy. We're talking about luminaries and heroes

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.319
here. Now, there's a local luminary for you all.

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.560
Dedicates so much time and effort to search and

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.060
rescue. And Stephen here actually is a big part

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:09.720
of the search and rescue for the Pemiduasset

00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.319
Valley. So really cool stuff. Definitely look

00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.360
those guys up. You can find them if you search

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.300
for – sounds like a search and rescue podcast

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:19.800
or S -L -A -S -A -R. If you search that on your

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.350
podcatcher, they should come up. Hell yeah. And

00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:25.389
next week, get ready to meet Stomp as we throw

00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:28.689
him into our crazy world with us. He has no idea

00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:31.389
what's coming. No idea. It is going to be a blast.

00:05:31.790 --> 00:05:34.449
I think he's just as excited as we are, though.

00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:36.410
We've been texting back and forth with him, and

00:05:36.410 --> 00:05:38.230
he's pretty stoked. So he's got his character

00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:41.310
rolled up, and yeah. Yeah, I can't wait. I can't

00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:43.110
wait. It's going to be a blast. Yep. Hell yeah.

00:05:44.069 --> 00:05:47.970
My other plug I need to bring up here, we discussed

00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:50.649
this last time, and we've pretty much, at this

00:05:50.649 --> 00:05:54.560
point, lifted the veil here on the fact that

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.139
we're going to be using sidekicks in this campaign.

00:05:57.379 --> 00:06:00.759
We have two player characters, and I intend to

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.019
run them through the gauntlet, so to speak. So

00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:09.079
I have given them both sidekick options. Jules

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.560
Laroche, as we've seen, has chosen Chester to

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.220
be his sidekick. And we'll get to that in a moment

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:17.459
because Chester, just so you know, has leveled

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:20.240
up. Hell yeah. Excellent. He's now going to be

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.300
a level two sidekick. He's basically playing

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:26.139
a sort of ranger archetype sidekick. Perfect.

00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:28.060
Sort of off screen, we had some discussions,

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.920
and Jean Franklin was chosen of the three brigands

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.560
that attacked to be Zebulon's sidekick. That's

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.360
why last session, he's sort of out in the world

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.660
now to be grabbed up and join our quest at some

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:46.120
point. So I need to take a moment here to...

00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:50.160
Shout out to Paul Metzger from DMs Guild because

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.959
I was using his sidekicks essentials. What would

00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.779
the word be? Add -on? Sure. Yeah, add -on works.

00:06:57.300 --> 00:07:00.420
Thank you, Paul. Yeah, thank you, Paul. Really

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:02.500
cool stuff. Check out DMs Guild if you're a dungeon

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:05.379
master who wants to freshen up the game. Normally

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:07.100
sidekicks come in three different flavors and

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.300
there's just not a lot to them. Paul Metzger

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.240
gives you a bunch of new options and they're

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.420
generally kind of more simplified versions of

00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:16.560
the various classes. It's very fun, very cool.

00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:19.860
Yeah, when you had mentioned sidekicks, I had

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:22.040
never really dealt with a sidekick, so I didn't

00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.920
know that there were just those three very basic

00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.040
forms of sidekick. And immediately my mind went

00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.920
to, oh, great, maybe I'll choose a paladin class

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.420
that would work really well with Zebulon. So

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:36.040
when a paladin showed up as a choice, that was

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.259
my immediate pick. Hell yeah, hell yeah. And

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:43.399
stay tuned, because we might see those two other...

00:07:44.269 --> 00:07:47.069
Two other runes goons at some point. Yeah, I

00:07:47.069 --> 00:07:49.769
don't think we're done with those assholes. Nope.

00:07:50.149 --> 00:07:52.209
They've now become. I don't believe so. I think

00:07:52.209 --> 00:07:55.569
we've automatically made some. We've made some

00:07:55.569 --> 00:07:58.110
enemies. Some enemies. Yeah. Or people that just

00:07:58.110 --> 00:07:59.750
aren't going to leave us the fuck alone. Right.

00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:01.910
Trying to get famous off us. Yeah, an enemy and

00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:03.550
rune. I'm not super looking forward to that,

00:08:03.689 --> 00:08:06.250
but I think we both did what we needed to do

00:08:06.250 --> 00:08:07.990
to play our characters. I think we're going to

00:08:07.990 --> 00:08:10.550
have a good time here tonight on Fantasy Pants.

00:08:10.569 --> 00:08:14.250
And with that, I think it's time we. Switch gears.

00:08:14.970 --> 00:08:18.170
You know, jump right back in and see where our

00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:20.610
characters are at. So last we left off, you guys

00:08:20.610 --> 00:08:23.990
found the diamond. You went into an alley. You

00:08:23.990 --> 00:08:25.649
go and you sort of play it. So you're looking

00:08:25.649 --> 00:08:27.389
into the facet of this diamond. You're watching

00:08:27.389 --> 00:08:31.389
the footage of these events that occurred. You

00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:34.990
see your heroic exploits during the tragedy of

00:08:34.990 --> 00:08:38.629
Tythos, during the storm. Actually, I forgot

00:08:38.629 --> 00:08:40.629
to mention, you even see, following it all up,

00:08:40.710 --> 00:08:45.289
the moment you two meet. in the Sapphire. Basically,

00:08:45.429 --> 00:08:48.730
you think that any footage of you guys during

00:08:48.730 --> 00:08:52.029
the events has been transferred to this diamond,

00:08:52.070 --> 00:08:54.570
which means only this diamond holds this footage.

00:08:55.250 --> 00:09:00.529
Now, in order for this to see being broadcast

00:09:00.529 --> 00:09:03.529
to the larger network as a whole, you need to

00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:05.789
find a way to get... people in the Citadel, in

00:09:05.789 --> 00:09:08.049
the Auroral Diamond, there's like a whole network

00:09:08.049 --> 00:09:11.789
inside that can essentially upload footage and

00:09:11.789 --> 00:09:13.889
broadcast them out. That's where you see characters

00:09:13.889 --> 00:09:17.769
like Storyteller Orin, all this stuff, different

00:09:17.769 --> 00:09:20.769
news networks and such. There's like one channel

00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:23.690
that all worlds share, and you're going to need

00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:28.889
to find a way to get that out. Now, Rune seemed

00:09:28.889 --> 00:09:32.250
to imply that he had a means for you to do this.

00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:34.690
And when you go to his office, you found these

00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:37.610
papers to go to Sapsunko. You find the map of

00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:40.210
Dinsing Night Market, and the implication that

00:09:40.210 --> 00:09:43.110
the tortle Jean Franklin gave you was that Rune

00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:46.110
had a plan for you there, and he knows the plan.

00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:50.570
So your objective now is to get to the Dinsing

00:09:50.570 --> 00:09:53.250
Night Market on the world of Sapsunko. This is

00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:55.570
the first time you've ever really traveled between

00:09:55.570 --> 00:09:57.850
worlds, and I guess in a way that, like, isn't

00:09:57.850 --> 00:09:59.809
just going to the city of El Zebulon. You went

00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:03.899
to Tithos once, and it was just... insanity,

00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:06.639
calamity. You never had a moment to really just

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.820
think about the fact that this is your first

00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:12.200
time off -world. Right. And Jules, you may have

00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.720
gone to the Citadel, but there's 24 other worlds

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.399
out there that aren't yours. Are we trying to

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.720
take what he was trying to get us to do out from

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.700
under him and just do it ourselves without his...

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:25.720
That's the impression I got. Is that what's happening?

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:29.809
Well, we've at least cut him out. So, yeah, you

00:10:29.809 --> 00:10:31.789
know, you know, you know, John Franklin knows

00:10:31.789 --> 00:10:34.009
what he wants you to do there. And if he had

00:10:34.009 --> 00:10:36.289
some kind of in for you into like the fame and

00:10:36.289 --> 00:10:39.429
fortune of a luminary lifestyle. Well, the path

00:10:39.429 --> 00:10:42.870
starts on some Sunco. I'm not sure that Zebulon

00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:46.570
is smart enough to know what we're doing at some

00:10:46.570 --> 00:10:49.509
Sunco. But I know that he's like, OK, we've got

00:10:49.509 --> 00:10:52.750
this map and we've got these rits. He sees an

00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:55.750
opportunity. Right. Yeah. He's just kind of like

00:10:55.750 --> 00:10:58.360
following the puzzle pieces. If anybody's going

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.519
to be doing any thinking ahead and like, hey,

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.600
man, we got a plan for this, it's probably not

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.539
going to be Zebulon. And beyond following the

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:09.720
puzzle pieces, this is also the only piece you

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.480
have. It's the only direction you have to go

00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.379
because unless you get a full passport, which

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.220
only can happen if you become luminaries or some

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:19.620
other sort of dignitary, you need a writ to go

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:21.419
between worlds. They don't just allow free passage

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:23.159
between all different worlds because, of course,

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.840
that would just be chaos. So when we go there.

00:11:27.199 --> 00:11:30.159
it's basically a one -way ticket, at least for

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.840
the immediate time. You can get back. I think

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.000
going to the Citadel is basically something you

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.519
could do. Freebie? Yeah, I think they will monitor

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.899
traffic between worlds. Certain worlds are going

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:42.740
to be real careful about who they send in. It's

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:46.080
like getting a passport in real life, but you've

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.919
got to be someone who can earn a passport. Zebulon,

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:51.840
you may have a chance, but your family might

00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.899
also get in the way. But Jules, on your own world,

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.230
you're... Well, let's face it, you're a criminal.

00:11:57.590 --> 00:11:59.750
You're blacklisted, Jules. Yep, you're pretty

00:11:59.750 --> 00:12:01.250
blacklisted. You're going to have a really hard

00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:05.789
time. But I digress. Here we are. You've just

00:12:05.789 --> 00:12:08.629
seen this footage, and you know what there's

00:12:08.629 --> 00:12:13.009
to do next. What do you guys do now? Well, we've

00:12:13.009 --> 00:12:15.610
got to find a place to stay the night. I don't

00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:20.190
know where's the safe place anymore. I don't

00:12:20.190 --> 00:12:23.129
know what to think about anybody. I mean, do

00:12:23.129 --> 00:12:25.860
you think it's safe to go back? To see Xena?

00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.500
Seems like it might be the safest place, yeah.

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:31.940
I mean, there's a chance that somebody will come

00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:34.919
looking for me there. But we can't stay out on

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:40.659
the street, right? How would she feel about a

00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:44.519
little more company than just the three of us?

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.840
What are you talking about? I don't know if I

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.159
want to leave my friends out in the cold either.

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.399
Well, I mean... I guess if that's where we're

00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.299
going to go, then we can sure ask her. Out of

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:01.919
character. I have no idea where the fuck to go.

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:05.580
I haven't the slightest clue. It's hard. I mean,

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:08.379
like, you have a place at the Palace of Exile,

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:11.639
but... That doesn't feel safe. No, not at all.

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.019
Xena's doesn't really feel safe. There really

00:13:14.019 --> 00:13:15.980
isn't anywhere that is truly safe. That's the

00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:18.600
problem here. I mean, Xena... Xena can take care

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.440
of herself, but Xena's also not exactly a trustworthy

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.240
ally in her own way. Not out of any sort of spite,

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:26.480
but she's just a little off, you know? Well,

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.799
David, how much gold would Zebulon have on him?

00:13:30.059 --> 00:13:34.200
Huh. Well, how much gold do you have as a starting

00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.759
character? I mean, like, you're more dealing

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.639
with what they give you for... An allowance?

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:41.980
Yes. You get an allowance. You're not really

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:44.200
in charge of your own money. Starting character

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.179
gold, I've got 25 gold. Damn. All right. Wow.

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.200
I think I did that right. Yeah, yeah. Take your

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.759
25 gold. What do you want to do with it? So Zeb

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.860
will pull a couple coins out of his pocket. I

00:13:55.860 --> 00:14:01.220
guess we could try to use this. And what does

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:04.519
Zebulon know about the area as far as like a

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.659
place to rent beds or something like that? Interesting.

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.679
Okay. So you guys are currently... probably around

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.860
the Court of Whispers, around the Great Iron

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:18.639
Doors, the Preserve of the Ancestors, all that's

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.659
sort of clustered together. There's a main road,

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:23.659
like a thoroughfare, that runs through this area

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:26.440
and kind of runs, spans all the way down the

00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.259
spiral, known as the Trade Discal. This is where,

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.399
basically, you're going to see a lot of trade

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.139
between different worlds and a lot of, like,

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:37.879
touristy stuff, so to speak. If somebody wants

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.340
to get, like, the mini experience of a world,

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:43.289
but not go all the way. you're going to find

00:14:43.289 --> 00:14:45.370
a little bit of everything from everywhere on

00:14:45.370 --> 00:14:47.710
the Trade Discall. And you'll also find a couple

00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:50.789
different inns, themed inns and such. Surely

00:14:50.789 --> 00:14:53.730
you can find something, you know. Okay. Well,

00:14:53.870 --> 00:14:59.049
give me a name of a place. All right. Let's say...

00:14:59.049 --> 00:15:06.149
You monster. Who's on the spot now? Oh, my gosh.

00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:09.559
I'm so... This is a bad date. I'm so sleep deprived,

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.779
you monster. We're walking down the street. We're

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:14.940
trying to find a place to stay. And we come across.

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:21.980
Come across. The pale. Damn it. Moonlight. Pale

00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:25.879
moonlight. I hate it. Pale moonlight in. I hate

00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.340
it so much. That's terrible. No, the pale moonlight

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:34.639
in. We're going with it. The rusty wagon. I didn't

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.639
think we were going to go in this direction.

00:15:38.909 --> 00:15:41.009
So, are we staying at the pale moonlight inn

00:15:41.009 --> 00:15:42.450
or the rusty wagon? I think we're staying at

00:15:42.450 --> 00:15:47.129
the rusty moonlight inn. Oh, let's check. We

00:15:47.129 --> 00:15:49.570
should check TripAdvisor first. So your intention

00:15:49.570 --> 00:15:53.389
is to stay at an inn here. You do have the gold

00:15:53.389 --> 00:15:56.389
to pay for one. Just trying to think this through,

00:15:56.549 --> 00:15:58.149
because are you bringing the cherry delights?

00:15:58.250 --> 00:15:59.850
Like, are you getting a bunch of rooms? Are you

00:15:59.850 --> 00:16:02.049
going to leave them in the Palace of Exile? If

00:16:02.049 --> 00:16:05.740
I can afford it, I want to get them a room. Why

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:07.100
don't you go get your friends? I don't know if

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:09.440
I can. Why don't you go get your friends, and

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.639
we'll see if we can stay at a place like this.

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.539
Well, I'll go in, and I'll check the place out.

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:24.360
I'll see what it looks like, see how many beds

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.039
they have. How many friends are you bringing?

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:32.179
Apart from me and Chester, we got six. Oh, six.

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:40.220
Yeah. Kind of inseparable. Inseparable? Yeah.

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:43.820
Yeah, we're tight. We're like a good family,

00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:47.899
you know? Zeb's like counting his coins. How

00:16:47.899 --> 00:16:52.899
much gold do you guys have? I got the... I got

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:57.299
25. Okay. So a normal starting amount of gold?

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.899
Normal level one. Chester, how much gold do you

00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:07.079
have? I'm flat broke. Oh. I got nothing. I share

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.099
it with the big guy here. Your six friends? Are

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:14.259
they all broke? Most likely. Well, hopefully

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:18.019
there's bunk beds. You know, generally speaking,

00:17:18.099 --> 00:17:21.079
a room overnight and then plus like a meal is

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.319
going to cost you one gold. Okay. Per night.

00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:28.440
And that's for like, probably like a bed? Two

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:34.029
beds? Honestly, if I can get a room for the six

00:17:34.029 --> 00:17:39.170
of them, it'll be good. Actually, strike that.

00:17:39.230 --> 00:17:42.230
The eight of us. Some interesting friends you've

00:17:42.230 --> 00:17:49.470
got there. I think you got this wrong, Zeb. Alright,

00:17:49.549 --> 00:17:51.750
let me go get the gang. We'll come back here

00:17:51.750 --> 00:17:53.289
and then we'll figure it out. Alright, I'll go

00:17:53.289 --> 00:17:56.230
inside. The pale moonlight in, I guess. We're

00:17:56.230 --> 00:17:59.589
going with that. My brain is so fried. I simply

00:17:59.589 --> 00:18:03.869
cannot think of a name. I simply cannot. I don't

00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:05.950
know. You put both of us on the spot last week,

00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:11.890
so. Yeah. You monsters. I did not expect an inn

00:18:11.890 --> 00:18:13.769
to happen when you have, like, multiple places

00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:16.930
to sleep. You should just cut to tomorrow. I

00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:18.589
don't know. Steven makes a good, or Zebulon makes

00:18:18.589 --> 00:18:20.329
a good point. That makes sense. I mean, right

00:18:20.329 --> 00:18:24.250
now, it's either we stay at an inn away from

00:18:24.250 --> 00:18:27.980
any place where we would go. Or we just use our

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:30.420
writs and get the fuck out of there. Right. Because

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:34.720
not only is your family going to be looking for

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.599
you. I mean, Zebulon doesn't necessarily know

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.200
that. But Zebulon isn't probably like, oh, yeah,

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:43.920
I'm going to go sleep on the floor at the refugee

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.799
place. Sure. Right. He also doesn't want to sleep

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.759
on the street. So Zebulon is just thinking, I

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:53.500
need a place to sleep. But meta -wise, his family

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:56.279
is probably out looking for him. Your family's

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.160
out looking for you. And now we're criminals.

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.119
Yep. I mean, like... Well, we're criminals and

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.299
we got... Who knows how many people he knows.

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.160
Right. Yep. He's just spreading the fucking word.

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.019
I should note one more thing, actually. While

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:13.940
you are... One thing you'll notice, Jules, you

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:15.559
would have caught on to this in Zebulon. You've

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.359
been here forever. The rural diamond itself,

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:22.039
it's... You see many sort of smaller facets of

00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.119
this diamond all over the place, sort of chaotically

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.420
spread around, and these giant sort of facets

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:30.000
can each kind of act almost as a different screen

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.319
here. Now, you'll see a number of them will showcase

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.960
kind of in the sky above you at all times, like

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.619
images from the crystal network. You can look

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:40.480
up, and like I said, as long as you see the image,

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:43.210
you can hear it. So you'll see like... Storyteller

00:19:43.210 --> 00:19:46.569
Oren, or some talk show, or some news event from

00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:48.910
a different world, anything like that is always

00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:50.890
sort of playing in the background. But some of

00:19:50.890 --> 00:19:53.309
these facets also show, like you'd see at an

00:19:53.309 --> 00:19:55.950
airport, for instance, arrival and departure

00:19:55.950 --> 00:20:01.170
times for the conquered jewels. Because there's

00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:03.329
a set time each day that each jewel might come

00:20:03.329 --> 00:20:07.829
down, dock at the passage of respite, that sort

00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:11.549
of great crescent sort of... docking bay at the

00:20:11.549 --> 00:20:14.150
top of the Citadel and then depart, you know,

00:20:14.150 --> 00:20:16.250
maybe an hour afterwards, give people time to

00:20:16.250 --> 00:20:21.009
load, you know that the Ruby Conqueror Jewel,

00:20:21.089 --> 00:20:25.450
the one connected to Sipsanko, will next be departing

00:20:25.450 --> 00:20:29.849
at noon the following day. Okay, so that gives

00:20:29.849 --> 00:20:33.509
us just enough time. We can have a good night's

00:20:33.509 --> 00:20:39.450
rest. We can lay low and get to the Ruby for

00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:42.809
Sipsanko. Right? Yeah, that sounds about right.

00:20:43.329 --> 00:20:46.769
Okay. I'm a little worried about actually being

00:20:46.769 --> 00:20:51.690
able to get there and bored. Well, I guess we'll

00:20:51.690 --> 00:20:53.529
cross that bridge when we come to it, but we're

00:20:53.529 --> 00:20:55.670
still talking even though you already said and

00:20:55.670 --> 00:20:58.470
I already said that we split off. Right, right.

00:20:58.509 --> 00:21:04.210
Okay. Yes, hang up your cell phones. Now we're

00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:06.490
splitting off. We're like shouting across the

00:21:06.490 --> 00:21:09.829
road. And break. They're just so far away from

00:21:09.829 --> 00:21:12.029
each other. It's the middle of the night. He's

00:21:12.029 --> 00:21:15.750
like, shut up out there. We're trying to plan

00:21:15.750 --> 00:21:20.609
our trip to Shevchenko. So, all right. Debulon,

00:21:20.650 --> 00:21:22.289
you're moving around. You're trying to find an

00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:24.410
inn you can stay at. And I think actually you

00:21:24.410 --> 00:21:27.349
go to the first few places, given the late hour

00:21:27.349 --> 00:21:30.710
and the fact that this is the Radiant Citadel

00:21:30.710 --> 00:21:33.369
and that a lot of people, here's the thing, right?

00:21:33.549 --> 00:21:36.150
A lot of people had money when they left Tithos.

00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:38.420
And they didn't want to stay in the Palace of

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:41.779
Exile. So a lot of inns are totally booked full.

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:43.819
I think you're actually working your way all

00:21:43.819 --> 00:21:45.900
the way down to the very end of the trade disc,

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.259
going from inn to inn and just seeing no vacancy,

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:51.599
no vacancy, no vacancy. Everything is booked

00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.160
solid. But you do see one at the very, very end

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:58.160
called the Ugly Coyote. Who would name a business

00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:00.920
the Ugly Coyote? You know, it doesn't look like

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.269
someone who... Who takes very good care of their

00:22:03.269 --> 00:22:05.170
business, I'll tell you that. You look up and

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:06.529
see. But you don't think that they want to at

00:22:06.529 --> 00:22:08.430
least put on a good front? They're just like,

00:22:08.529 --> 00:22:11.589
hey, you know what? I know what we are. No, that's

00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:14.309
it. But they know what they are. Their clientele

00:22:14.309 --> 00:22:16.690
is a certain kind of person. The kind of person

00:22:16.690 --> 00:22:18.470
that likes the idea of an inn called the Ugly

00:22:18.470 --> 00:22:21.630
Coyote. I mean, you can at least be like the

00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:26.150
Pretty Coyote. Right. Or the Coyote Inn. Yeah.

00:22:27.950 --> 00:22:30.230
But I mean, you see a pretty, pretty like...

00:22:30.829 --> 00:22:32.869
You know, pretty scarred, pretty barren looking

00:22:32.869 --> 00:22:34.789
building. There's a guy out front with an eye

00:22:34.789 --> 00:22:38.789
patch. Absolutely there is. Smoking a cigar,

00:22:39.029 --> 00:22:42.730
his arms just loaded with fucking arm hair. Nice.

00:22:42.869 --> 00:22:45.609
Yeah. And tattoos. Oh, yeah. Tattoos everywhere.

00:22:45.970 --> 00:22:48.529
But if he's got so much arm hair, can you see

00:22:48.529 --> 00:22:51.569
the tattoos? Yeah. We need these details, David.

00:22:51.869 --> 00:22:54.990
You can see the underside of his arms. He shaves

00:22:54.990 --> 00:22:57.069
his arms around the tattoos. Bam. Gotcha. Okay.

00:22:57.230 --> 00:22:59.720
That's cool. That sounds like an ugly coyote.

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:02.559
Anyway. So you just can see there's this sign

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.339
above the end that's just like this coyote with

00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:09.519
big snaggled teeth and patches of hair. But one

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.880
of the chains is broken, so it's hanging diagonally.

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.680
Oh, absolutely. It's probably on purpose. And

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.200
the chain's rusty. You look at this and you're

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.640
like, okay, well, this is my only option. So

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:23.119
I'll make it that way you will. But that is where

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:25.460
you can stay this night. All right. Zeb's going

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:28.269
to walk into the... Ugly coyote in. This has

00:23:28.269 --> 00:23:30.250
been worse than the sapphire seat discussion.

00:23:30.650 --> 00:23:34.109
You walk over and open like a saloon -style door.

00:23:34.470 --> 00:23:39.069
Of course. That's what they sound like when they...

00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:46.089
I'm so tired. You walk inside the main part of

00:23:46.089 --> 00:23:47.869
the inn. You see, even though it's like the middle

00:23:47.869 --> 00:23:49.630
of the night, there's still two or three people

00:23:49.630 --> 00:23:52.849
in the corners of the room just very sadly drinking

00:23:52.849 --> 00:23:55.410
themselves into a stupor. Oh, yeah. I get you.

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.660
It is like cheap whiskey. It's rank in here.

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.019
Just sweat, cheap whiskey, and tobacco. Just

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:07.380
smashes your nose the second you open those seesaw

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:09.180
doors. And there's a dog with mange on the floor

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:11.259
in front of the fireplace. A coyote with mange

00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:18.259
on the floor. You fool. All right. Does Zebulon

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:20.980
see anybody who looks like a proprietor? You

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:23.319
do see someone up behind the bar. Just really...

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:27.799
Real big, real burly guy. It's because he had

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:29.480
an eye patch. We already gave a guy an eye patch.

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.440
No, no, he's got an eye patch on the other eye.

00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:36.640
He's got an ear patch. And a peg leg. Hell yeah.

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.880
You see he's kind of wearing this sort of rustic

00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.819
looking overalls, dark skin, very big rugged

00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:47.980
black beard of just coarse, coarse hair and shaved

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:51.000
head. And he's just kind of scowling in your

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.769
direction when you walk in. I mean. You look

00:24:54.769 --> 00:24:58.490
so out of place in this establishment. It is

00:24:58.490 --> 00:25:02.869
ridiculous. All right, well, Sebulon wants nothing

00:25:02.869 --> 00:25:06.049
more than to fit in. Oh, this will be good. So

00:25:06.049 --> 00:25:10.990
he's going to go up to the bar, lean with one

00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:15.190
arm. Oh, my God. Point to the patron at the other

00:25:15.190 --> 00:25:22.089
end of the bar. I'll have what he's having. The

00:25:22.089 --> 00:25:26.289
guy just like looks at you, gets real close.

00:25:27.829 --> 00:25:31.569
You smell like his own whiskey breath. Like,

00:25:31.569 --> 00:25:34.750
yo, just so close. It's hot in your face. He's

00:25:34.750 --> 00:25:39.150
just, you sure about that, boy? And Zebulon takes

00:25:39.150 --> 00:25:41.990
out, what's a drink cost? Like a copper or silver

00:25:41.990 --> 00:25:44.009
or something like that? Here, probably a copper.

00:25:44.230 --> 00:25:49.089
Okay, so Zebulon will take out a silver and put

00:25:49.089 --> 00:25:56.920
it down on the bar. That's for my tab. I got

00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:03.599
friends coming. They might be thirsty too. All

00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.740
right. Oh, hell, okay. He just kind of, there's

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:14.240
a quick nod. It's like, all right, well, hope

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:17.500
you like it strong. As he's pouring the drink,

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.900
Zebulon will kind of start to make conversation.

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.299
We're looking to... We're looking to stay the

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:48.799
night. That's so... God damn it, Steven. I was

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.680
like... I was like, all right, we're going to

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:53.339
fucking book it. We're going to get through this

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:54.859
session. We're going to get all three idiots

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:57.079
to stand out. And then fucking Zebulon's in a

00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.140
bar, and I don't know what to do. It's okay.

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.259
You can speed it up. God. No, I can't. This is

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:10.220
gold. All right. Really? That's so. We'll bring

00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:19.259
someone back. God damn it, Steven. I can't look

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:21.380
you in the face right now. Do you want to pause

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:23.799
it for like two minutes? Yes, my stomach hurts.

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:30.440
Get composure. God. Oh, my God. We're back. And

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.420
she looks at you. Again, you're smelling this

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:38.559
hot whiskey breath. What brings someone like

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.420
you into my own fine establishment? Well, we

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:44.839
find ourselves a lot of places to stay tonight.

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.880
Thought this would fit the bill. So do you think

00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:54.680
you have a place? I reckon I might. What's that

00:27:54.680 --> 00:28:00.599
going to cost us? For you, friend, I'll say a

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.859
gold or rum. Looks like you might be good for

00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:06.960
it. Just kind of eyeing your fine stud leather

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.359
armor and little swords at your hip. What's your

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:16.789
name, friend? You can call me Ader. Ader? How

00:28:16.789 --> 00:28:22.450
many can we squeeze in a room? Depends on how

00:28:22.450 --> 00:28:25.549
comfortable you want to be. Rooms are large enough.

00:28:25.809 --> 00:28:31.309
Could probably fit four per. How about I give

00:28:31.309 --> 00:28:36.450
you two gold now and we'll see what happens.

00:28:37.329 --> 00:28:40.769
Alrighty. I'll take two rooms. I'll take two

00:28:40.769 --> 00:28:45.730
gold. Let me just flux them from you. You got

00:28:45.730 --> 00:28:46.789
a drink in front of you. You want to hit it?

00:28:48.890 --> 00:28:52.650
Yeah, well, I guess my friends aren't here yet,

00:28:52.730 --> 00:28:56.690
so bottom of the cup. He looks at you and he

00:28:56.690 --> 00:29:00.609
looks at the drink and he's like, you gonna take

00:29:00.609 --> 00:29:04.569
it? He's just like watching expectantly and kind

00:29:04.569 --> 00:29:06.410
of excitedly to see how you handle this. Oh,

00:29:06.410 --> 00:29:13.109
yeah. Letting it breathe. Alright. Yeah. Takes

00:29:13.109 --> 00:29:15.400
a drink. All right, give me a constitution saving

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.539
throw. Oh, Jesus. It's plus zero, by the way.

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:24.319
Spoiler alert. Oh, hey, that's a 16. Wow. Zebulon,

00:29:24.339 --> 00:29:26.299
you hold it well. You just pound this thing down.

00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:33.099
It tastes like liquid hell. I imagine you take

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:34.519
this in, and there's a little bit of fire breath.

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:42.299
That was too much cough for a 16, though. I mean,

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:45.609
you're still Zebulon. All right. But he's not

00:29:45.609 --> 00:29:50.289
wrong. So, yeah, you actually take that in. And

00:29:50.289 --> 00:29:53.509
I think Ayer kind of looks at you, almost looks

00:29:53.509 --> 00:29:57.230
impressed, nods, and moves down the bar to help

00:29:57.230 --> 00:29:59.069
the other patrons. That guy's pounding around

00:29:59.069 --> 00:30:01.589
asking for a drink. And I think some time passes.

00:30:01.650 --> 00:30:04.410
You're just hanging out. And the doors, saloon

00:30:04.410 --> 00:30:08.890
doors, that's what they sound like. And Jules

00:30:08.890 --> 00:30:12.650
walks in with a bunch of children. in this establishment,

00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:17.569
which seems like a good idea. It's a fantastic

00:30:17.569 --> 00:30:19.890
idea. I'm going to say that Zebulon's face is

00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:23.730
probably just as surprised as, what was the barkeep's

00:30:23.730 --> 00:30:27.549
name again? Arn? Ader. Yeah, as I walk in, I

00:30:27.549 --> 00:30:29.569
just kind of walk in and just kind of look around

00:30:29.569 --> 00:30:33.670
frantically. Ah, there you are. There you are.

00:30:33.750 --> 00:30:39.690
Okay. Hey, Zap. Zap. Oh, hey, guys. Oh. Hey,

00:30:39.730 --> 00:30:44.029
guys. So you're just met by this pile of children,

00:30:44.250 --> 00:30:48.150
essentially. I didn't realize you had kids, Jules.

00:30:49.670 --> 00:30:55.470
What? Are these all your kids? Round Stuff, the

00:30:55.470 --> 00:30:56.930
little tiefling girl, just jumps forward like,

00:30:57.029 --> 00:31:01.430
yep, yeah, we are. What? Right? These are my

00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:03.849
pals, my best friends. Yeah, we're kids and we're

00:31:03.849 --> 00:31:10.869
his. Well, I'm Zebulon. All right, Zebulon, let

00:31:10.869 --> 00:31:13.869
me introduce you. All right, well, you know Chester

00:31:13.869 --> 00:31:16.450
right here. How you doing? Catching. Over here,

00:31:16.509 --> 00:31:19.430
we got Fibro. Hey, how's it going? You see this

00:31:19.430 --> 00:31:23.710
half -elf, very tall, very lanky. Fibro. We got

00:31:23.710 --> 00:31:26.509
Mulligan's Folligan. A little copper -skinned

00:31:26.509 --> 00:31:29.509
dwarf with a blonde, wispy beard who says, Oh,

00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:31.549
hey, do they serve food here in this establishment?

00:31:31.930 --> 00:31:36.490
Or Mully? Fully? Close enough. Close enough,

00:31:36.609 --> 00:31:39.839
yeah. Got Paul. Oh, that was Paul. Yeah, small,

00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:43.700
human, very vague expression. Small Paul. I think

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:48.839
he's nine years old. Just says, hi. Hi, hi, Paul.

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:51.859
Small Paul. Miskin's somewhere. I'm sure you'll

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:55.220
meet them at some point. At that point, you peek

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:57.339
up in the doorway and just like, in the doorway,

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:59.500
in the shadows, you see the green -skinned little

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:03.799
half -orc boy just like peek in, scan the room,

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:07.259
nod, and just kind of... Vanish. Hey, buddy.

00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:12.319
Vanish. And this here is Roundstuff. Little tiefling

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.460
in a rabbit onesie, just, hi, oh my gosh, hi,

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:17.920
your name is Zebulon? Uh, yeah. I don't know

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:19.740
what you are, but you're a lizard, right? Hi,

00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.980
Roundstuff. Uh, almost. Wow, you have nice wings.

00:32:23.099 --> 00:32:27.279
Do they do anything? Uh, no, no, no. Nice to

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:31.960
meet you, Roundstuff. Wow, yeah. I really apologize

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:34.200
for bringing all this right to your doorstep.

00:32:34.650 --> 00:32:39.349
It was a good thing I had a drink. Hello, folks.

00:32:39.410 --> 00:32:42.130
Future Jeremy here, unfortunately, once again.

00:32:42.309 --> 00:32:45.789
In all the zaniness of this little end scene

00:32:45.789 --> 00:32:49.789
here, I completely spaced out and forgot to introduce

00:32:49.789 --> 00:32:56.670
Jeans. I am so ashamed. So, uh, what, are you

00:32:56.670 --> 00:32:59.180
able to get us a room? You want me to pitch in

00:32:59.180 --> 00:33:01.539
a bit? I'm not sure what's going on here. We

00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:05.799
got two rooms. He said that we could probably

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:09.539
squeeze four in a room. I mean, we only need

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:12.240
one room. That's plenty big. Oh, thank goodness.

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.079
I want to stay with Zebulon. No, let's... But

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.259
I want to stay with Zebulon. Let's give Zebulon

00:33:19.259 --> 00:33:21.839
his space. Oh, thank goodness. I know this is

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.480
a little overwhelming. Zebulon's down the bar.

00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:31.819
Just give him his space. One more, please. Yeah,

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:34.619
I mean, I think if you all... I don't know if

00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:36.140
you guys stay and drink at all or if you head

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:37.960
right to sleep. It's already very late. You know

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.279
you have to be out of here at noon. Jules is

00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.960
going to pound one. Okay. Give me a con save.

00:33:43.339 --> 00:33:45.680
It's going to shape your tomorrow. Sabion, you

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.359
won another one. Give me another con save. Ah,

00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:50.099
son of a... Yeah, you said it. I did. Too late

00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:52.220
now. I'm not backing out now. I'm not going to

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:53.619
back out in front of Ada. Are you kidding me?

00:33:55.560 --> 00:33:59.220
I got a nat 20. Oh, my gosh. I got a four. Zebulon

00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:01.839
is, he takes a second one, and now it's like

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:04.740
that first one didn't quite hit you, but now

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:09.260
it all hits you at once. Okay. Drunk Zebulon.

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:11.699
Great. Probably fall off your stool. Great. This

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:13.900
will be fun. Chester is clapping. He's delighted.

00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.019
Like, oh, Jules, you see this? I'm really glad

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:20.219
to have you on the room now. I didn't think I

00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:22.860
was going to like these kids so much. I got to

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:26.349
tell you. You kids are all right, though. Who

00:34:26.349 --> 00:34:28.949
was it that wanted to stay in Zug's room? Roundstuff.

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:32.269
Roundstuff is all over you right now. She's just

00:34:32.269 --> 00:34:34.489
like, did you hear that? And she's playing with

00:34:34.489 --> 00:34:36.090
her tail. Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

00:34:36.230 --> 00:34:38.409
All right, Roundstuff, go ahead. Go ahead. Go

00:34:38.409 --> 00:34:40.849
ahead. I'm kind of scared of this one, but...

00:34:40.849 --> 00:34:44.369
Can I call you Uncle Zeb? Oh, my goodness. Wow.

00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:47.590
Uncle Zeb. I never had an uncle before. Did you

00:34:47.590 --> 00:34:53.030
know that? Yeah. What? What? Can you just...

00:34:53.449 --> 00:34:57.070
Round stuff. Can I call you stuff? I would be

00:34:57.070 --> 00:35:01.769
honored. Stuff, can you just take me to get some

00:35:01.769 --> 00:35:05.530
sleep? Yeah. Okay. I'll tell you all about my...

00:35:05.530 --> 00:35:08.550
I made a story today. Zebulon's not really listening,

00:35:08.670 --> 00:35:10.070
but he's... It's about a princess who meets a

00:35:10.070 --> 00:35:11.670
star. I'll tell you all about it on the way up.

00:35:11.730 --> 00:35:13.670
Leaning a pretty considerable amount of weight

00:35:13.670 --> 00:35:16.329
on round stuff. So yeah, you're just like being

00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:19.690
pulled upstairs by this little tiefling who's

00:35:19.690 --> 00:35:21.880
taking you to your room. Actually, I'm curious

00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:23.880
about this. Chester looks over at your drink.

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:26.380
He's like, Jules, want to get me one of those?

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:29.380
Hey, bye. One more. He pours you one. Chester

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:33.039
takes a... I'm going to just... I slide it over

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.320
a little slowly, a little cautiously. I don't

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.139
know if you can handle this, but there you go.

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.400
He crushes it, actually. Oh, my God. He just,

00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:46.739
boom, drinks it. He's just like, ooh, wow. I

00:35:46.739 --> 00:35:50.090
haven't had one of those in a while. The 13 -year

00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:51.909
-old child hasn't had one of those in a while.

00:35:51.929 --> 00:35:55.690
That was nasty. You missed it. This is fantasy.

00:35:56.090 --> 00:36:00.530
Yeah. Fantasy pants does not condone underage

00:36:00.530 --> 00:36:06.489
drinking. Also, the night draws on. Have you

00:36:06.489 --> 00:36:10.170
told them yet, Jules, that you're intending to

00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:13.969
leave on the morrow? No. I think I'm waiting

00:36:13.969 --> 00:36:16.690
until the morning. Okay. I think Chester... I

00:36:16.690 --> 00:36:22.130
kind of want to have one night with them. I think

00:36:22.130 --> 00:36:24.409
where everything's normal, everything's fine.

00:36:25.909 --> 00:36:28.090
Yeah, they're all just having a good time. They

00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:30.869
probably got some food. You know, Ader probably

00:36:30.869 --> 00:36:33.210
wasn't really prepared to run the kitchen, but...

00:36:33.210 --> 00:36:35.090
And I think most of the time, I'm not really

00:36:35.090 --> 00:36:37.409
talking all that much. I think I'm just observing

00:36:37.409 --> 00:36:41.929
and watching and smiling. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

00:36:43.250 --> 00:36:45.849
Yes, you're just watching. Mulligan gets a big

00:36:45.849 --> 00:36:49.610
plate full of probably older, I think it's probably

00:36:49.610 --> 00:36:51.630
cold meats and breads and such, but he's just

00:36:51.630 --> 00:36:54.349
powering them, going crazy. He's been living

00:36:54.349 --> 00:36:58.469
off rations for a few days now. He is delighted.

00:36:58.969 --> 00:37:01.889
You see Fibro's just going over his notes again.

00:37:01.989 --> 00:37:03.730
He managed to accrue a little bit more while

00:37:03.730 --> 00:37:07.050
he was here. He's actually spoken to a few mages

00:37:07.050 --> 00:37:09.309
from Offworld, and he's been doing some of his

00:37:09.309 --> 00:37:12.739
own research. He's very, very excitable. Nice.

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:15.699
Roundstuff's upstairs, of course. Paul just kind

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:19.480
of vacantly sitting next to Fibro and just seems

00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:22.340
happy, seems to be enjoying himself. I'm curious

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:24.719
how Chester's doing. Chester is interesting.

00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:32.179
Chester looks a little troubled. He knows that

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:33.719
you're planning on leaving tomorrow. He knows

00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:36.840
that he's planning on going with you. And you

00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:42.659
see he keeps on looking a few stools down. where

00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:47.239
Jeans is sitting and looking away. She's kind

00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:51.460
of just passively, you know, sitting, and she

00:37:51.460 --> 00:37:53.659
looks pretty solemn. You know, a lot of bad stuff's

00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:55.820
been going down lately. Maybe she doesn't really

00:37:55.820 --> 00:38:00.099
know what's coming here, but... What you think

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:03.599
about, Justin? Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing, Jules.

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:08.360
Come on. We've known each other long enough.

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:12.219
What you thinking about? We're planning on going

00:38:12.219 --> 00:38:15.539
tomorrow, right? Yeah, I think so. Off world.

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:18.539
You know I can't leave you. I'm going to be there

00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:20.380
with you. I don't know how we're going to make

00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:23.380
it work. I don't have a writ. But we'll find

00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:26.360
a way, right? We'll get you there. I don't want

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.900
to go anywhere without you. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:32.480
And you see he smiles, and the smile kind of

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.300
seems to falter a little bit. It's not forever.

00:38:38.099 --> 00:38:41.769
I know, I know. We'll be back quick. I worry,

00:38:41.889 --> 00:38:46.590
you know? I know, me too. They'll be okay, right,

00:38:46.730 --> 00:38:54.829
Jules? I think so. I think so. And we gotta do

00:38:54.829 --> 00:38:59.190
this, yeah? For them. We gotta... And he just

00:38:59.190 --> 00:39:01.210
looks right over at Jeans, and I think this time

00:39:01.210 --> 00:39:03.409
she kind of notices and looks at him quizzically,

00:39:03.489 --> 00:39:05.230
and he just turns his gaze away really fast.

00:39:05.769 --> 00:39:11.349
We gotta do this. Chester. Yeah? You know everything

00:39:11.349 --> 00:39:15.949
I do. It's all for you and them. Every single

00:39:15.949 --> 00:39:21.670
thing. I know. I'm always going to back you up,

00:39:21.690 --> 00:39:30.210
Jules. You can count on me. I know. I know. And

00:39:30.210 --> 00:39:33.829
you just kind of sit there quietly for a while.

00:39:34.789 --> 00:39:39.699
As the night draws on. Until everyone... starts

00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:45.420
to go up to their rooms or their room and just

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:51.559
fall asleep. I'm not going to sleep. No? No.

00:39:51.699 --> 00:39:55.039
I'm just going to sit there in the room. All

00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.980
right. You know what? I have an idea for that

00:39:57.980 --> 00:40:01.860
then. I'll drink a beer first though. Yeah, I

00:40:01.860 --> 00:40:04.400
need to sip a beer after that. Jules, you...

00:40:05.009 --> 00:40:07.369
Everyone else falls asleep. Everyone goes up.

00:40:07.429 --> 00:40:09.730
I think the last one to go is Chester, except

00:40:09.730 --> 00:40:13.110
for Jeans, who's still just sitting a few stools

00:40:13.110 --> 00:40:18.909
down. And he gets up awkwardly, walks past her,

00:40:18.949 --> 00:40:21.409
stops for a second. He wants to say something,

00:40:21.469 --> 00:40:23.289
and then just keeps going. Goes up the stairs

00:40:23.289 --> 00:40:30.179
and vanishes. Once he's gone, Gene looks over

00:40:30.179 --> 00:40:31.880
at you, and at this point in the night, it is

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:34.300
late, late, late. Ader's staring at you like,

00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:39.159
guys, what are you doing? And Gene sort of steps

00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:40.960
off her stool, moves down to the one right beside

00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.300
you, and just looks you in the eyes and says,

00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.019
are you going to tell me what's going on, or

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:48.980
do I have to figure it all out myself? There's

00:40:48.980 --> 00:40:53.780
no hiding nothing from you. No. I'll just come

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:57.800
out straight with it then. Chester and I have

00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.960
to... We've got to be someplace in the morning.

00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:05.300
And it's not here. She stares at you for a long

00:41:05.300 --> 00:41:08.659
while, eyes narrowing a little bit. She just

00:41:08.659 --> 00:41:11.340
purses her lips like she's thinking really hard

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:17.000
and says, This place, is it dangerous? Probably.

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:22.940
Why are you taking Chester? Jules, you can take

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:28.690
her yourself. I've seen it. Why him? Isn't it

00:41:28.690 --> 00:41:31.949
better to let him stay? He's not like you, you

00:41:31.949 --> 00:41:35.969
know. He acts tough, but he's... He's fragile.

00:41:37.130 --> 00:41:39.650
He'll do anything for you. He'll die if you ask

00:41:39.650 --> 00:41:43.250
him to. You know that. I don't want to do this

00:41:43.250 --> 00:41:48.210
alone. And I need you guys with me. But I can't

00:41:48.210 --> 00:41:53.050
take all of you. I need Chester. I need to be

00:41:53.050 --> 00:41:59.079
close to you. She just nods. All right. It's

00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.579
scary sometimes. This sort of power you have

00:42:02.579 --> 00:42:07.400
over people. Even I feel like you can convince

00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:11.099
me of anything, Jules, if it's you. It's not

00:42:11.099 --> 00:42:16.159
all it seems to be. She just nods and slides

00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.320
back the stool and just says, Well, if you're

00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:20.940
going somewhere tomorrow, it's best we sleep.

00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:26.929
I'm going anyway. Go get some rest. You take

00:42:26.929 --> 00:42:35.489
care of him, Jules. Keep him safe. Always. And

00:42:35.489 --> 00:42:40.489
she goes to the stairs and disappears. And you're

00:42:40.489 --> 00:42:46.130
alone. You are alone. I order another drink.

00:42:49.210 --> 00:42:53.389
Let's cut to the morning. Zebulon, you are...

00:42:53.610 --> 00:42:56.809
Passed out. Is this the first time you've ever

00:42:56.809 --> 00:43:02.929
had like a hard drink? I mean, at least in excess.

00:43:03.090 --> 00:43:06.829
I think two drinks is excess for Zebulon. Okay.

00:43:06.889 --> 00:43:10.349
You know, champagne at a party maybe or, you

00:43:10.349 --> 00:43:13.469
know, a fantasy beer with his older brother.

00:43:14.530 --> 00:43:17.550
Yeah, let's say that I'm going to say that this

00:43:17.550 --> 00:43:21.050
is probably his first hangover. Okay. Yeah. So

00:43:21.050 --> 00:43:22.949
you're probably really groaning as you're being

00:43:22.949 --> 00:43:25.650
slapped awake repeatedly by a small tiefling.

00:43:26.170 --> 00:43:31.530
Come on, come on. I don't think Zebulon immediately

00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:34.010
remembers that he agreed to letting Roundstuff

00:43:34.010 --> 00:43:36.429
sleep somewhere in his room on the other bed,

00:43:36.530 --> 00:43:38.389
so he probably is. You just wake up and see a

00:43:38.389 --> 00:43:40.269
rabbit in your bed, and you're like, what? Oh,

00:43:40.309 --> 00:43:51.659
shit. Oh, you're awake. Roundstuff, right. And

00:43:51.659 --> 00:43:56.719
maybe he's a little sick. You have to go, right?

00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:59.179
Actually, she doesn't know that. I think I should

00:43:59.179 --> 00:44:04.019
meet up with Jules and see what he's up to this

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:08.920
morning. We got some plans, so. Oh, plans? Yeah.

00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:18.960
Jules and I were headed to Subway? Shebna. Shebsenko.

00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:22.880
That's a different... That's a different world.

00:44:23.179 --> 00:44:25.199
We're going off world. You're going off world?

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:31.000
And you're taking me? Oh, I didn't... I can't

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:33.679
believe... Guys! She just jumps off the bed and

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:35.980
runs to the door and just... Hold on a second.

00:44:36.219 --> 00:44:37.739
And she's out in the hallway screaming, Guys,

00:44:37.820 --> 00:44:40.380
guys, we're going to Samsanko! I don't think

00:44:40.380 --> 00:44:41.539
that's what she said. Jules is taking all of

00:44:41.539 --> 00:44:44.780
us to Samsanko! You just hear Chester. And as

00:44:44.780 --> 00:44:46.800
you wake up to the sound of this and the sound

00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:50.670
of Chester going, Oh, shit. Shit, Zebulon. I

00:44:50.670 --> 00:44:52.570
didn't... I'm not waking up. I'm still at the

00:44:52.570 --> 00:44:55.349
bar. Oh, shit. So you hear this upstairs as you're

00:44:55.349 --> 00:44:56.989
sitting at the bar. You hear, like, suddenly

00:44:56.989 --> 00:44:58.989
round stuff gets up, first one awake, and starts

00:44:58.989 --> 00:45:02.969
screaming to everybody that they're going to

00:45:02.969 --> 00:45:06.670
some sunko. What do you do? Just wait for them

00:45:06.670 --> 00:45:09.449
to come down? Because I will say, you hear, like,

00:45:09.550 --> 00:45:11.170
in a moment, just like, do -do -do -do -do -do

00:45:11.170 --> 00:45:14.369
-do -do, a pitter -patter of many feet as a thunder...

00:45:14.369 --> 00:45:16.610
a thunder of orphans? What does that mean? I

00:45:16.610 --> 00:45:19.780
don't know. I think it's a murder. A murder of

00:45:19.780 --> 00:45:23.460
orphans. Thunders down the stairs. As I hear

00:45:23.460 --> 00:45:27.440
this, I order another drink. So you just made

00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.440
Ader stay there all night long? Ader's gone now.

00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:33.019
How much do I owe? Yeah, he just left you a bottle.

00:45:33.219 --> 00:45:34.900
He just left the bottle. He left the bottle.

00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:36.699
He went to sleep. Fuck it. Yeah, he just left

00:45:36.699 --> 00:45:39.380
the bottle. He's got this small nook behind the,

00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:41.679
like a little room behind the bar. He just goes

00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:44.239
in. You can hear him snoring back there. You've

00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.039
been listening to him snore for like three hours

00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.400
now. But yeah, you just see that all the time.

00:45:48.820 --> 00:45:51.059
That's where I'm at. I'm not going to move. You

00:45:51.059 --> 00:45:52.000
pour another drink. I'm not going to move from

00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.380
that spot. And you just kind of suddenly find

00:45:54.380 --> 00:45:57.199
yourself in a ring of orphans as they all just

00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:02.039
kind of surround you. Hands on hips and such.

00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:05.500
Chester and Jeans are kind of off in the background.

00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:10.199
Mortar's quietly sort of observing this and making

00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.199
sort of their glances at each other. But yeah,

00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:17.320
not great. I think Fyro speaks up first, just

00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:21.019
like, is there something you want to tell us,

00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.420
Jules? Sounds like you guys already know what's

00:46:23.420 --> 00:46:27.639
going on. So it's true? You're leaving? You're

00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:36.840
going off world? Yeah. What? Yeah. Why? Why are

00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.780
we leaving? I mean, are we getting relocated?

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:42.139
Is that it? Sapsunco is nice. I've heard they've

00:46:42.139 --> 00:46:44.219
got really nice local cuisine. The noodle shops

00:46:44.219 --> 00:46:51.760
are fantastic. We are not leaving. What? Chester

00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:58.460
and I, we're going away for a little bit. Just

00:46:58.460 --> 00:47:02.920
a little bit. I think this is probably the time

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.079
when Zebulon finally makes his way down the stairs.

00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.280
Yeah, you're kind of awkwardly walking into his

00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.539
leg. He's just standing at the outskirts. Just

00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:13.179
kind of the... Even Zeb can feel the tension

00:47:13.179 --> 00:47:17.500
in the room. Yeah. You just hear it suddenly

00:47:17.500 --> 00:47:20.000
right next to you. It wasn't there before, but

00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:22.380
there's a presence just standing on the bar.

00:47:22.619 --> 00:47:25.420
You see Miskin's just there like, it's just really

00:47:25.420 --> 00:47:28.980
a good idea, Jules. You and Chester alone out

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:33.019
there, no backup. What could be worth it? You

00:47:33.019 --> 00:47:35.860
all are worth it. And that's why we're doing

00:47:35.860 --> 00:47:40.010
this. I wish I could take you all with us. Why

00:47:40.010 --> 00:47:42.889
don't you? Roundstuff's just looking at you with

00:47:42.889 --> 00:47:45.989
these big puppy dog eyes. Why don't we all just

00:47:45.989 --> 00:47:48.190
go together? We always stay together. We left

00:47:48.190 --> 00:47:50.969
Tythos together, and we were here together. And

00:47:50.969 --> 00:47:55.250
we will be together. Just after we do what we

00:47:55.250 --> 00:47:59.030
gotta do. How long will that take? I don't know.

00:48:00.849 --> 00:48:07.190
I don't know. What do we do without you? You

00:48:07.190 --> 00:48:10.929
love each other. You take care of each other.

00:48:12.889 --> 00:48:16.369
And when we come back, it'll be good again. It'll

00:48:16.369 --> 00:48:21.989
be great again. Right now, we gotta do what we

00:48:21.989 --> 00:48:29.610
gotta do. And that's all we can do. I see a lot

00:48:29.610 --> 00:48:32.929
of faces are looking down. I think Chester steps

00:48:32.929 --> 00:48:36.739
forward like, Hey, guys, come on! It's Jules,

00:48:36.860 --> 00:48:40.420
right? You know he'll be back. He'll be back

00:48:40.420 --> 00:48:44.599
and better and stronger than ever. And yet, Jeans.

00:48:45.139 --> 00:48:47.199
I mean, Jeans, look at her. She's so responsible

00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:52.119
and smart. She'll take care of you. Uh, right,

00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:55.739
Jeans? And she just kind of smiles at him and

00:48:55.739 --> 00:48:59.199
smiles at the rest of them and they look a little

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:00.900
bit better about it. This is only for a little

00:49:00.900 --> 00:49:04.280
while, guys. And then we're going to be, uh...

00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:08.059
We're going to be better than ever. I promise

00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:12.920
you that. And Zebulon, you are, I imagine, kind

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:14.960
of standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking

00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:18.739
on through the railings and watching as Jules

00:49:18.739 --> 00:49:24.719
LaRoche vanishes beneath a pile of orphans as

00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:29.619
they just, what's the word? Pig pile? Pig pile.

00:49:29.699 --> 00:49:31.280
Dog pile. Dog pile, that's the one. As they just

00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:34.920
dog pile on him. Yeah, I think Zebulon's kind

00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:38.739
of like standing there mouth agape. This isn't

00:49:38.739 --> 00:49:41.780
really the... He doesn't have this kind of tenderness

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:46.500
with his own family. Never mind a ragtag group

00:49:46.500 --> 00:49:51.659
of orphans who don't share blood relation. So

00:49:51.659 --> 00:49:59.340
he's touched and confused at the same time. So

00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:01.659
I think... Time is passing, and we're getting

00:50:01.659 --> 00:50:03.619
close to when you guys got to get out. You stayed

00:50:03.619 --> 00:50:05.699
up late. You have until noon, but you don't know

00:50:05.699 --> 00:50:07.039
what the procedures are going to be once you

00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:13.739
actually reach the site. I think it's time to

00:50:13.739 --> 00:50:20.780
go, Zeb. Yeah, just give me one second. And Zeb

00:50:20.780 --> 00:50:24.860
walks over to Ader's little office there. Is

00:50:24.860 --> 00:50:28.119
Ader awake yet? He's still snoring. Okay, so...

00:50:28.409 --> 00:50:30.929
Then Zeb will scratch a little note on a little

00:50:30.929 --> 00:50:34.590
scratch of paper, scrap of paper, that just says,

00:50:34.590 --> 00:50:37.710
you know, watch over the kids for as long as

00:50:37.710 --> 00:50:39.750
you can. And he leaves them that note in five

00:50:39.750 --> 00:50:43.010
gold pieces. Oh, okay. You know, kind of like

00:50:43.010 --> 00:50:45.070
asking him to try to make a place for them there,

00:50:45.170 --> 00:50:49.369
put them to work, whatever, to keep them safe.

00:50:49.610 --> 00:50:54.090
Okay. Wow, the ugly coyote is now our home base.

00:50:54.130 --> 00:50:57.760
I didn't... Didn't see that coming. Great. You

00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:01.639
know this from last episode. We have taken over

00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:03.639
this campaign. It's true. It's true. I have no

00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:12.340
power now. Great. So you guys leave. I think

00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:14.719
you're heading out, and I think the children

00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.239
are going to follow you in a way. They want to

00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:19.480
see you off, and Jeans starts grabbing. The ground

00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:21.320
stuff is in the front, and Jeans kind of grabs

00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.719
her and pulls her back. He's like, no, I think

00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:26.280
it's best we stay here. I'm like, we're safe

00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:32.460
here. Hey, hey, stuff. Come here, stuff. She

00:51:32.460 --> 00:51:38.139
comes there. Stuff. She dances over. I don't

00:51:38.139 --> 00:51:41.380
want you to worry so much about these guys. Uncle

00:51:41.380 --> 00:51:44.639
Zebulon's going to be there to make sure they

00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:48.980
come back safe. She starts crying. Just kidding.

00:51:49.539 --> 00:51:51.320
I was going to say, I thought we had a good thing

00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:58.940
coming. Oh, God. She just nods and looks at us

00:51:58.940 --> 00:52:00.360
that way. She's wiping tears from her eyes like,

00:52:00.420 --> 00:52:04.739
okay. And kind of like as a show of force, he

00:52:04.739 --> 00:52:07.460
blows a little bit of black smoke out of his

00:52:07.460 --> 00:52:13.820
nostrils. Whoa. I'll keep him safe. You have

00:52:13.820 --> 00:52:16.199
dragon magic. He has dragon magic. And she's

00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:18.639
like always running off to tell Paul, who's just

00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:22.300
sort of staring blankly at you, Jules, and just

00:52:22.300 --> 00:52:31.469
says, Safe. Be safe. YouTube ball. And I think

00:52:31.469 --> 00:52:33.889
with that, Chester ushers you outside. And I

00:52:33.889 --> 00:52:35.710
think we start walking down the road. Come on,

00:52:35.710 --> 00:52:42.869
Chester. Sorry, I'm talking to myself. Come on,

00:52:42.889 --> 00:52:45.989
Jules. We got to go. Goodbyes are awful. I'm

00:52:45.989 --> 00:52:48.889
out of here. Let's get the show on the road.

00:52:49.289 --> 00:52:55.500
All right. And you guys. are moving. You got

00:52:55.500 --> 00:52:57.800
a ways to go, yo. Like I said, you're at the

00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:00.780
very back bottom of the trade discol, as far

00:53:00.780 --> 00:53:03.460
away from the passage of respite as possible,

00:53:03.619 --> 00:53:06.320
because, I mean, nobody funnels down far enough

00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:09.179
to go to the fucking ugly coyote, for good reason.

00:53:09.579 --> 00:53:13.139
You're both very itchy today, by the way. Just

00:53:13.139 --> 00:53:16.239
a side note. Bad bugs? Maybe. You don't know.

00:53:16.820 --> 00:53:21.889
Didn't get a roll for that? No. Thanks. You made

00:53:21.889 --> 00:53:23.670
the choice to stay at a place called the Ugly

00:53:23.670 --> 00:53:26.650
Coyote. No, we didn't have a choice. Oh, my God.

00:53:26.949 --> 00:53:30.849
You could have slept in the street like an idiot.

00:53:31.130 --> 00:53:32.690
Would have been much cleaner in the street. What

00:53:32.690 --> 00:53:34.989
do you call it? Probably. Are you calling me

00:53:34.989 --> 00:53:40.789
and my own idiots? I mean, I'll accept that in

00:53:40.789 --> 00:53:45.409
Zebulon's case. This DM's an asshole. Well, time

00:53:45.409 --> 00:53:46.710
is short, but you know what? We're doing this

00:53:46.710 --> 00:53:50.449
anyway. You guys are moving up the street. Past

00:53:50.449 --> 00:53:53.570
the Court of Whispers. You pass the Preserve

00:53:53.570 --> 00:53:55.730
of the Ancestors, the Great Iron Door that moves

00:53:55.730 --> 00:54:00.570
into the Radiant Seydel itself, into the Ethereal

00:54:00.570 --> 00:54:02.570
Diamond. What's that fucking word? Auroral Diamond.

00:54:02.730 --> 00:54:05.369
Boom. We got it. That's it. All right. And you're

00:54:05.369 --> 00:54:09.250
working your way up and up. And then you're passing

00:54:09.250 --> 00:54:14.389
the Palace of Exile. And you hear a voice say,

00:54:14.610 --> 00:54:24.050
Zebulon? Zebulon? Hey, Zebulon. Oh, shit. There

00:54:24.050 --> 00:54:29.650
you are. Ah. Then you turn and see Arhalon. Oh,

00:54:29.670 --> 00:54:34.489
hey. You see immediately that he has two arms.

00:54:35.630 --> 00:54:42.730
Oh. Hey. And Zebulon runs over. Hey. Oh, what?

00:54:44.009 --> 00:54:47.969
Hey, you look great. He goes and, like, tries

00:54:47.969 --> 00:54:49.590
to grab you in a hug, and you see he only uses

00:54:49.590 --> 00:54:51.150
one arm. The other one, like, twitches a little

00:54:51.150 --> 00:54:55.269
bit. He's just like, do you see? I just came

00:54:55.269 --> 00:54:57.889
back from the House of Convalescence. The Shoe

00:54:57.889 --> 00:54:59.989
Bear's brought someone in to, well, rejuvenate

00:54:59.989 --> 00:55:04.230
my lost limb. Oh, my goodness. Arhalon, that's,

00:55:04.230 --> 00:55:08.030
wow, that's so great. Yes, it'll take some time.

00:55:08.090 --> 00:55:10.909
Wow, look at you. Something about the lightning

00:55:10.909 --> 00:55:14.840
magic that... Ozen carried on his blade. It severed

00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.559
the nerves and burned them, so I... It's going

00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:20.139
to take time to regain any sort of movement to

00:55:20.139 --> 00:55:22.199
control all that, but I'm doing exercises, and

00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.820
very soon, very soon your big brother's going

00:55:24.820 --> 00:55:30.699
to be back to his old glory. I'm... I'm really

00:55:30.699 --> 00:55:36.139
sorry, Arhalon. About everything. There's nothing

00:55:36.139 --> 00:55:38.780
to be sorry about, Zeb. No, no, it's... I...

00:55:38.780 --> 00:55:42.739
Everything's great, don't you see? I know. Wasn't

00:55:42.739 --> 00:55:45.679
really my fault and there wasn't, I don't know,

00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:47.400
maybe there was more I could do, but I just,

00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:51.500
I didn't want to be at home for a little while

00:55:51.500 --> 00:55:55.159
and I'm sorry about that. Hey, hey, it's fine.

00:55:55.380 --> 00:55:59.380
I was unlivable and I apologize, but everything's

00:55:59.380 --> 00:56:01.659
fine. It's all going to go back to normal now,

00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:04.719
just like it was. Yeah. Who's your friend here?

00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:08.579
I made some friends. Yes. We're going to, well,

00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:12.570
we're just going to go hang out. For a little.

00:56:13.269 --> 00:56:18.769
And I'll... And I'll... Key you. And it'll be

00:56:18.769 --> 00:56:26.269
normal. Roll me a deception check. So, 17. That's

00:56:26.269 --> 00:56:30.210
pretty good. Okay. Pretty good. He looks at you,

00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:32.949
though, and there's still something like... I

00:56:32.949 --> 00:56:34.530
think there's still a little something he doesn't

00:56:34.530 --> 00:56:38.889
quite like. Something he doesn't trust. I think

00:56:38.889 --> 00:56:40.909
he's just like... You see his eyes sort of...

00:56:41.099 --> 00:56:43.599
wins for a second and he looks up and he's, who

00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:48.280
is this? Introduce me. Please. Well, this is,

00:56:48.420 --> 00:56:53.380
hey, guys, you want to come over here for just

00:56:53.380 --> 00:56:59.000
a sec? This is my brother, Arhalon. Arhalon,

00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:04.239
these are my friends. I drink whiskey now. Oh,

00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:08.960
is that right? So, how fun, how fun. You're Zebulon's

00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:16.460
friends then. Ar -ha -lan. That right? Yep. You

00:57:16.460 --> 00:57:19.400
got it. Pleased to meet you. Jules LaRoche. You're

00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:21.420
like the only one that's even close to his height.

00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.860
That's not that close. He like grips it hard.

00:57:26.219 --> 00:57:32.400
Almost a show of his pure strength. Jules LaRoche.

00:57:33.739 --> 00:57:40.940
Are you that Jules LaRoche? Huh. Yeah. Interesting.

00:57:40.940 --> 00:57:44.900
This is Chester. Hey, I'm Chester. You're a pretty

00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:48.880
big guy. He's still watching, looking at you,

00:57:48.940 --> 00:57:50.659
Jules, and he's shaking your hand for too long

00:57:50.659 --> 00:57:53.920
and just kind of staring down at you. And I pull

00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:58.639
my hand away after an uncomfortable length. He

00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:00.059
kind of like that sort of snaps him out of it.

00:58:00.099 --> 00:58:04.559
He's like, ah, yes, right. Sebulon, could we

00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.389
walk for a moment, just you and I? Ah. Please,

00:58:08.409 --> 00:58:10.230
just for a moment. Sure, yeah. We're going to

00:58:10.230 --> 00:58:15.369
be late. We're going to be late, but yeah. Guys,

00:58:15.530 --> 00:58:17.769
how about I, I'll meet you there. I'll catch

00:58:17.769 --> 00:58:19.869
up. All right. All right, Zeb, we'll be there.

00:58:20.550 --> 00:58:23.250
He sort of turns with you, Zeb, and you begin

00:58:23.250 --> 00:58:27.050
to walk sort of off the main road and like off

00:58:27.050 --> 00:58:29.889
to the sides, sort of deeper into the Palace

00:58:29.889 --> 00:58:33.150
of Exile sort of area, like past where your apartment

00:58:33.150 --> 00:58:35.980
is. I'm almost walking up to, like, the edge

00:58:35.980 --> 00:58:37.940
of the city, at least in that direction. He's

00:58:37.940 --> 00:58:43.079
just, as you go, he's talking. Well, how's Ebulon?

00:58:43.179 --> 00:58:45.619
You're really moving up. Made friends with Jules

00:58:45.619 --> 00:58:48.320
LaRoche. He's pretty famous, you know. Well,

00:58:48.420 --> 00:58:52.599
yeah, we just kind of, it was happenstance. But

00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:56.480
we're getting along, so, you know, what's this

00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:58.679
about? I'm kind of anxious to... Get back to

00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:01.099
my friends. Well, I just wanted to talk. Your

00:59:01.099 --> 00:59:03.500
brother wants to talk. It's been a few days,

00:59:03.500 --> 00:59:06.739
and a lot has happened between us. To tell you

00:59:06.739 --> 00:59:09.119
the truth, it's been hard for me, Zebulon. I

00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:12.119
mean, my arm is how it is, and... I know, and

00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.860
it makes me feel a lot better to see you whole

00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:21.960
again. I just... I don't have friends. I've never

00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:24.880
had friends. You don't... You never needed friends.

00:59:25.820 --> 00:59:29.289
Zebulon, we... Well, this is good, though. I

00:59:29.289 --> 00:59:33.409
mean, you know... I do now. Yes. Yes, I understand.

00:59:33.469 --> 00:59:35.909
Because I was gone for a bit there, and I understand

00:59:35.909 --> 00:59:38.389
why you would look out for somebody else. But

00:59:38.389 --> 00:59:41.570
Zebulon, it's... Well, it's always been us, you

00:59:41.570 --> 00:59:44.969
know? Mother is... Well, you know how Mother

00:59:44.969 --> 00:59:48.429
is. Likely to forget us when she sees a curious

00:59:48.429 --> 00:59:53.869
bubble. Yes, and Father... Well, we... Father...

00:59:53.869 --> 00:59:57.809
He almost gets this foggy, like... Distant look

00:59:57.809 --> 01:00:02.050
in his eyes. Well, and with Grandmother as she

01:00:02.050 --> 01:00:05.369
never has time for us, it's just always been

01:00:05.369 --> 01:00:09.610
me and you. So, you know, why not have the day

01:00:09.610 --> 01:00:12.030
together? You could hang out another day, right?

01:00:12.150 --> 01:00:16.730
I mean... Well, we've got plans, though. And,

01:00:16.750 --> 01:00:21.309
um... You know, I'm sorry. I understand, I do,

01:00:21.389 --> 01:00:25.070
but Zebulon, I... And he just, I think he reached

01:00:25.070 --> 01:00:26.630
a point now where he's like almost at the edge

01:00:26.630 --> 01:00:29.329
of the Citadel. And he kind of climbs up on,

01:00:29.369 --> 01:00:31.070
I imagine there's sort of a small like rocky

01:00:31.070 --> 01:00:34.190
slope that borders it. And he sort of climbs

01:00:34.190 --> 01:00:37.389
up on top of it and he's staring down, down at

01:00:37.389 --> 01:00:40.030
the sort of ethereal fog all around the Citadel

01:00:40.030 --> 01:00:43.130
and down at the keening gloom far below, just

01:00:43.130 --> 01:00:46.409
still roaring. There's this constant cyclone.

01:00:46.710 --> 01:00:50.030
He's staring down the bodies. It's been hard.

01:00:51.429 --> 01:00:54.409
So be long night. You know I'm always going to

01:00:54.409 --> 01:00:57.769
protect you, right? I'm your big brother. You

01:00:57.769 --> 01:01:00.630
don't need to worry. You don't need anyone else.

01:01:00.650 --> 01:01:03.469
I will always protect you, but I need your help

01:01:03.469 --> 01:01:07.690
for that. Right now. I need you to do something

01:01:07.690 --> 01:01:11.570
for me, okay? Well, I won't forget that, Arhan,

01:01:11.710 --> 01:01:14.309
but I don't always need your protection. I mean,

01:01:14.329 --> 01:01:21.179
sometimes I can just go be myself. No! No! Sebulon,

01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:24.440
you almost died on Tythos. You almost died because

01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:26.340
I wasn't there to protect you, but I'm going

01:01:26.340 --> 01:01:28.539
to get stronger. Your big brother's going to

01:01:28.539 --> 01:01:31.079
get stronger. He needs something from you to

01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:33.739
do it, okay? I almost died because those crazy

01:01:33.739 --> 01:01:38.079
people took a fucking carriage. Sorry. A thinking

01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:40.920
carriage? Language. You never spoke like that

01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:44.059
before. On the Sapphire. Sebulon, I just get

01:01:44.059 --> 01:01:46.340
this impression that you're starting to become

01:01:46.340 --> 01:01:49.179
someone that isn't you. And that maybe isn't...

01:01:49.630 --> 01:01:52.869
I mean, it's not right for you. You're slipping

01:01:52.869 --> 01:01:58.730
away. Look down there. Look at it. There's so

01:01:58.730 --> 01:02:03.210
much out there. I haven't seen any of it. You

01:02:03.210 --> 01:02:07.170
left this world once and almost died. We all

01:02:07.170 --> 01:02:12.349
almost died. If the luminaries... If the luminaries

01:02:12.349 --> 01:02:15.989
hadn't shown up when they did... Zebulon, I want

01:02:15.989 --> 01:02:21.480
to be me again. Okay? And I need you to do something

01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:24.639
for me. I need you to, as your brother, do something

01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:28.159
for me. Will you? Will you? One request. Of course.

01:02:28.780 --> 01:02:32.639
Arlon, what do you want? And he kind of takes

01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:35.300
this breath, kind of calms, smiles a little bit

01:02:35.300 --> 01:02:39.500
and says, I want you to throw your swords over.

01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:45.039
I want you to toss them into the gloom. You don't

01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:47.679
need them. You're not going to use them again.

01:02:48.090 --> 01:02:51.829
Well, I'm not going to do that. He looks at you,

01:02:51.929 --> 01:02:56.730
and you see, like, he is fucking serious. His

01:02:56.730 --> 01:03:01.190
eyes bore into you, and they are just hot. I

01:03:01.190 --> 01:03:05.369
think you are, Sebulon. Take your swords, and

01:03:05.369 --> 01:03:08.469
toss them into the gloom. And then I'll protect

01:03:08.469 --> 01:03:12.570
you, and it'll be just like it always was. Well,

01:03:12.590 --> 01:03:15.550
how are we going to... train together if I don't

01:03:15.550 --> 01:03:17.750
have any chores. You don't need to train anymore.

01:03:17.909 --> 01:03:19.849
I don't need your help training. I just need

01:03:19.849 --> 01:03:22.690
to know you're behind me. As long as I know that

01:03:22.690 --> 01:03:25.170
you're there behind me, I can fight at my fullest.

01:03:25.409 --> 01:03:30.010
Don't you want to help me? This is me helping

01:03:30.010 --> 01:03:34.849
you. This is for you. I always do it for you.

01:03:35.750 --> 01:03:38.730
I got these chores from you. I think I'd like

01:03:38.730 --> 01:03:43.210
to keep them. And I would like you to destroy

01:03:43.210 --> 01:03:47.289
them. I don't know why this is so hard. I made

01:03:47.289 --> 01:03:50.429
a mistake. You shouldn't have them. This is a

01:03:50.429 --> 01:03:53.409
really weird thing to ask. I don't ask you to

01:03:53.409 --> 01:03:57.489
throw your stuff over the side of the... world.

01:04:02.130 --> 01:04:11.880
No. No. It can be both ways. No, it can't. Not

01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:17.599
anymore. You're scaring me, Arlon. I... You're

01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:20.039
scaring me, Zebulon. Suddenly you're just changing.

01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:23.179
You're swearing, you're hanging out with hooligans

01:04:23.179 --> 01:04:26.500
like Jules LaRoche. Disappearing for nights,

01:04:26.539 --> 01:04:30.480
going off on... I don't even know where. I see

01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.159
you're heading towards the passage of respite.

01:04:32.860 --> 01:04:37.199
Maybe it's about time that I... grew up. Xole

01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:40.739
seems to think so. Thinks I'm nothing but a...

01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:46.260
Fool kid. If that's what you want, I'll have

01:04:46.260 --> 01:04:53.079
no part of it. What does that mean? It means

01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:56.820
what it means, Zebulon. If you want to go, go.

01:04:58.940 --> 01:05:04.019
Are you saying that I can't come back? He doesn't

01:05:04.019 --> 01:05:09.559
answer you. He just keeps staring at you. Glaring

01:05:09.559 --> 01:05:15.610
at you. Zebulon starts to take a couple of steps

01:05:15.610 --> 01:05:46.840
back. But so much more. He just stares. Unmoved.

01:05:48.500 --> 01:05:53.980
And Julie's a Julie's a pretty good guy. And

01:05:53.980 --> 01:05:57.599
Zebulon's still backing up step by step as he's

01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:04.099
talking. We got into a fight together. It was

01:06:04.099 --> 01:06:09.780
pretty cool. And I I did alright. I have you

01:06:09.780 --> 01:06:14.050
to thank. for that. He winces. I think maybe

01:06:14.050 --> 01:06:18.849
I'll be stronger the next time I see you. But

01:06:18.849 --> 01:06:23.630
don't worry or anything. I think Jules and I

01:06:23.630 --> 01:06:26.650
are going to be... We're going to have a good

01:06:26.650 --> 01:06:32.110
time. We're going to be okay. So I'll... I'll

01:06:32.110 --> 01:06:36.710
see you around, big brother. Yeah, he turns to

01:06:36.710 --> 01:06:41.090
leave. And you just start to move and you're

01:06:41.090 --> 01:06:43.889
just here behind you. You're making a mistake.

01:06:44.969 --> 01:06:48.929
It's a mistake, Zebulon. You're making a mistake.

01:06:49.269 --> 01:06:52.750
Zebulon, get back here. Zebulon, get back here.

01:06:53.090 --> 01:06:56.090
Zebulon! I'm not afraid to make mistakes anymore.

01:06:56.670 --> 01:07:03.929
Oh, shit. And you dash back out to Jules and

01:07:03.929 --> 01:07:06.929
Chester who are waiting in the street. And you

01:07:06.929 --> 01:07:12.429
all turn. As you look ahead, you see up the road

01:07:12.429 --> 01:07:17.130
from you the passage of respite, the great docking

01:07:17.130 --> 01:07:19.610
bay. And you can see, breaking away from its

01:07:19.610 --> 01:07:25.730
constant orbit, this great ruby begins to slowly

01:07:25.730 --> 01:07:32.090
pull in to dock. Chester just looks over at him,

01:07:32.170 --> 01:07:36.250
looks over at you, Jules. You ready? Let's do

01:07:36.250 --> 01:07:41.880
it. And as the ruby comes and connects the land

01:07:41.880 --> 01:07:45.280
ahead, we see these three figures moving down

01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:49.980
the steps towards a new adventure and a new world.

01:07:51.420 --> 01:07:52.699
And we'll call it there.
