Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. Welcome to Law Crimes today.
I have to make a quick announcement that last episode of Iceberg Effects,
we did a question of the week bit and we read out your answers and forgot to give you a new one.
So, yeah, that was a bit of a bit of an oops, bit of an oops, because, you know,
we never make mistakes. We're always doing it. This is perfectly professionally run podcast.
However, with that in mind, we're going to give you a question of the week right now so you can
prepare it in the comments for the next episode with because we're talking about a particular
dynamic duo today, we want you guys to use hashtag buddies. Who in the Warhammer,
either fantasy or 40k setting would you have as a best buddy to go on adventures with?
If I was to pick one, I'd pick Cypher just because we could teleport around and be sneaky
and a bit silly. So, yes, well, I was going to say Bill Clinton for some reason, but he's not in
Warhammer. So, yeah, Kissinger. Oh, yeah. That's going to time this podcast. Which is dead. Yeah,
literally in minutes Colin put it in the in our Discord chat, just like, look,
how look what happened with I was going on. But either way, Kissinger aside. So today,
without further ado, may I pass it over to Eli? What are we talking about today, Eli?
Eli, you're muted.
Sorry, sorry, we're talking about Godric and Felix today. The best dynamic duo to ever exist
in all of Warhammer, perhaps fiction, basically Legolas and Gimli, if a little more goofy.
So, if Legolas was a whipping bitch.
And he had more than three lines. Yeah, and the sprinkling of maybe Pippin inside there,
just a little bit. We have Godric, who is a dwarf slayer. Dwarf slayers are dwarves who have shamed
themselves in some way or like are trying to atone for sin. So they go take the slayers oath,
and they try to seek a glorious death in battle. Felix is basically human bard who
went through a training accident and killed a guy in a duel. And so he got kicked out of the college
he was in. And is a one they both wanted men are man and dwarf at this point, they participated in
some window tax riots and killed some rights. I hate windows. So annoying windows never forgiven
windows since we do a little we do a little bit of inciting civil unrest. That's the first time.
That's why I've covered my windows so as not to offend how that's what is that drawn
ravenous windows. Thank you for the 15 squigglies. Before you start, I gotta ask you talking about the
AOS Godric books as well. I know today we are actually only covering troll slayer and
skaven slayer. Also one day though, one day we will get there. We promise. Before the stream even
started, we got a donation from grimdark half off who also runs a great Warhammer channel
for $10 and said, love you guys. I've listened to all the Godric and Felix novels. They are a great
time. I'd love to see pancreas and others do a Warhammer fantasy elves versus Elder Scrolls
elves episode Sunday. Maybe we will. Oh dude, I'm gonna I'm gonna get fucking racist on that one.
Who's gonna argue for the elf in Skyrim though? Elder Scrolls elves.
Well, the superior race clearly. Hashtag Thalmor embassy man over here with his
get-pillinal in here. I love you, Pillinal. I'd die for you. Has anyone like when they were entering
the Thalmor embassy ever like screwed it up like royally the first time? Like I didn't understand
what I was doing. To be honest, I was watching the spiffing Brits yesterday and there's like a thing
I saw I didn't realize you can get like a wooden plate and use it to like shift through into the
embassy before. Oh yeah, through walls. Good old Skyrim. Good old Skyrim glitch.
Anywho, if memory serves me correctly, Godric saved, did Godric save Felix's life or did Felix
save Godric's life? Godric saved Felix from a charge of the Reichsgarde. Yes, okay and then Felix
swore an oath to Godric that he'd follow him around and write poems and stories about him
and document his final doom in an epic tale of story. Unfortunately for Felix, who thought this
was just going to be like maybe a year-long thing, Godric just doesn't die ever and so he's kind of
pledged eternal service at this point. He lived past an entire setting so he's never unemployed.
It's your classic tall friend and short friend gym duo. You have left out both Bardon and Snorri.
And you put Alpharius on the list. In favor of Alpharius. Oh my god, I think that's...
All right, fair enough. That worked. Never mind. It's actually really funny then.
Oh my god. So yeah, they pretty much go around with the most insane, I don't know, plot armor
you could ever conceive. They're undefeatable combatants and there's a great time. It's not
that Godric isn't trying to die. He's given it his all every single story. And every story,
half of it's him killing stuff and the other half is him depressed because he's not dead yet.
But not like Dante. Like, angrier than Dante. Yeah, it's an angry depression.
Yeah. It's also too fair, you don't even have to necessarily know too much about the Warhammer
old world, excuse me, unfortunately, end times, to kind of get into the Godric and Felix books.
They're a good time. It's like his own isolated thing. You don't have to have crazy Warhammer
knowledge. In fact, it's probably the best way to learn about Warhammer fantasy. If anything,
they're like the best primer to the setting because they go around. If they don't go there,
it's at least like a character from somewhere is probably featuring so you can learn about the
world through that. Yeah. They do have that, I want to say that a similar thing would be like
that Mandalorian energy where it's like they're not going to change the future of the well,
they're obviously important, but like they can just go on little adventures and that's fine.
It's like it doesn't have to be the big laser beam in the sky event. Yeah,
it's like, no, we're just killing an orc today. Cool. Not till later on yet. Later on,
they start getting like more and more important, but like the first half of all the stories there.
And it's like, they could not do this. And honestly, the world could not change that.
Yeah. Are you telling me though that in the fourth book, when they sent that ship at light
speed into the other fleet in episode eight, that you didn't enjoy that moment?
I wouldn't enjoy that. It was cool visually and awful in every other way.
But what about not a Death Star, but a Death World episode seven, boys,
you telling me you don't enjoy a Death Star planet?
I love episode four, but like copy and pasted, so it's tracked up.
All right, Peter. How many people here came from Star Wars into
Warhammer? Because again, it was dying, unfortunately. I think with that being said,
Colin, are you ready to guide us on our journey for like the best duo, perhaps in all of Warhammer?
I am happy to do so. I will say I'll preface again. We were original plan was we do like
one omnibus at a time, and then the notes kept going and going and going.
And for reference, I have about like I try and go for like six or seven like notes when I'm doing
the expert section. I'm at 10 and I only did Skaven Slayer and Troll Slayer. So in the interest of
not having a 50 hour long podcast episode. Bear in mind, there's like a billion books as well.
We're going to have to crack into it. So yeah, we're going to do Troll Slayer and
Skaven Slayer and go from there. I do believe one comment from Josh here
says could Gotrek have single handedly stopped Archeon and the end crimes?
If he was there, probably. Greatest wish.
Never has a wish been more needed than any of it.
Is there ever an explanation on why he is so powerful? Or is he just, he's just awesome?
There is.
Okay, don't spoil it.
We can't go into that yet.
I think that's a bit early.
That's spoiler for like last, last Gotrek and Felix book.
Okay.
But we'll begin with the old world boys. If people who are watching are not as familiar
with the Warhammer fantasy, honestly, well, first of all, watch Colin's channel,
because he's got lots of stuff on it. You probably already know his channel anyway.
But it's honest, which genuinely is a fantastic universe. Oh, we've got a donation from a crazy
Scotsman. How badly would Gotrek body the Primarchs? Not all at once. He could wipe Lorgar.
You know that scene where Yoda fights Count Dooku in episode three. He's just jumping around.
He'd be like that.
At this point in the story, he could, you know, he could probably give some of the weaker ones
a good fight, but I don't think he'd win. By age of Sigmar, you know, spoiler, minor spoiler alert.
I think if he was in 40k, he'd walk into the room of the vengeful spirit, and then he would walk out.
And then by the time Singutius would get there, all he'd see is a short redheaded man complaining
about how even how human demigods are shit.
Before we start, we got a comment from Harriet Ballentine says that it's nice that Eli,
Hal and Colin and Andy match up perfectly to Gotrek, Felix, Snorri and Ulrica. Who's Ulrica?
Is Andy Ulrica?
Who's Ulrica?
Ulrica Johnson? What?
I know.
Yeah, they got the, list us, list us all we need to know.
Yeah, we need to have them. Otherwise, we're just gonna squabble about who, because I know the
characters, but I don't know them that well, Eva. So I'm gonna have to get them.
Because I know the characters, but I don't know them that well, Eva. So I'll just be like, oh,
I'm fine with Ulrica.
With that being said, though, we should probably tease it too much. Let's get down into the juicy lore.
Alright, let's do it. Troll Slayer is the first story in Gotrek and Felix. And the first two
stories, Troll Slayer especially, are not written as one long narrative, which I did not know until
I was going back through like plot synopsis and looking up the books just for, you know,
refresh the memory. Turns out, they, yeah, the first two were just kind of written like
one-off stories that were then combined into Troll Slayer. And Skaven Slayer was, is a bit more
cohesive. It's like stories that all lead to a greater whole, but they're all also like
self-contained things. I did not know that till I started doing this. So the first story in Troll
Slayer is Gehemesnacht. There's going to be a lot of German names in this. The Empire of Man is very
German, and that's where most of their stories take place. So just get ready for that.
This one takes place shortly after they leave Altdorf, after Felix is nearly killed by
the Reichsgarde, and then they swear the drunken oath. And now Felix is Gotrek's rememberer.
Not quite as, doesn't quite flow off the tongue like Remembrancer, I have to say, but it works.
They're traveling together on a coach. Thank you for the dabbing.
We do have a donation here. Deretha, Eli?
Elliot Hopps says, who will win the fight? Tyrion with the Sword of King or Johnny Cage,
while international love is bland. And then Crimson Glory.
Oh, Crimson Glory again.
Crimson Glory says, here's a tenner and some change. That's a lot of change, bro. Thank you.
Let the egg meme die and bring upon the new era, Bok. I love y'all and happy holidays. Also,
hope you check out Shadow of Intent Colin. So for the first question, Johnny Cage is undefeatable.
When international love is playing, he's fucking unbeatable.
Thank you, Crimson. I was not here for the Bok meme, I'm not going to lie.
I don't even know what Bok means.
Elisabeth say when they're fighting, that's it.
We could just get some steamed Bok choy and just gnaw on that for a few minutes.
You can't see my tongue.
Bok in the chat.
But Gehemnishnakt, man, saying that is already throwing me for a loop.
Thank you, Hal. This is like I said, surely have to leave Altdorf. They're traveling together on a
coach or they're then kicked out of the coach because Gottrick is bad mouthing the coach,
driver and his wife. Gottrick, as you will learn both throughout this and as you read the books,
is a very unpleasant dwarf to be around. He's rude. He's an asshole. He likes starting fights,
whether he's drunk or not, not even like to fulfill the Slayer oath. He just likes fighting.
He just likes beating people's heads in. So they're kicked out. In the meantime,
a second coach nearly runs them down, a black coach this time, and Gottrick having nothing
better to do since his old purpose now is to seek death vows. They're going to go beat that guy up.
They're going to go kill him realistically. Gottrick doesn't, rarely leaves people unconscious.
There's also a great quote where Felix says, how will we go to an inn instead?
I didn't want to read this bad boy out. Oh, this is one of my favorite quotes. I'll just throw it in
the discord for, oh no, I can throw it in the, I forget there's a side chat here.
Another donation. I don't know what that is. ISK300. Thank you, sir. Who gets more wenches?
Felix or Kivus Kane? I think that's a tough question. Felix is a womanizer.
Felix, Felix, I'm going to go Felix.
Do you want to, for the quote here, do you, should we have Andy be Felix and Eli be thematic Gottrick
in the side chat here? Quick question before we go on. Eli, in your opinion, who gets more wenches?
Felix or Fulgrim? Oh, it's, you can't ask him that.
Got him. Fulgrim don't be, Fulgrim ain't about
that. We know he got married once. I don't think, yeah, I don't know if Fulgrim even has anything
down there. I don't know if they ever really confirmed it. Is it confirmed that Porymops are
smoothbond? I mean, they have to use the bathroom. Do they?
Yes, they have to use the bed at some point. They eat food. Yeah, but their bodies are so
perfectly made that they don't have to excrete anything. That's not how that works.
They can take the urea from protein and use it for their bodies. You see something out of no
world. Fulgrim loves nothing better than his own image, so he could never love a woman.
He could never. He samples his own secret sauce. Anyway, so.
Eli's got to be Andy as Felix. Okay.
Okay. So do you want to go for it? You're weakling manly and a coward too.
They'll have ale. Why, sometimes your suggestions have
merit. Yeah.
That is their relationship early on. Felix doesn't suggest things to Gottrick so much as he
tries to course correct the hurricane of violence that is Gottrick, especially because at this
point, Felix isn't where he is towards the end of the series, where he's also a murder machine.
He just doesn't think he is because he has to compare himself to Gottrick. Felix is still
fresh out of college at this point. The college he was expelled from, by the way.
He's on a really, really dangerous gap here. Yeah. He took up dueling in college and he did
actually accidentally kill someone, which I believe is why he got expelled. So he's not horrible,
but he hasn't seen what the Warhammer worlds have to offer yet. So he tries to steer clear of it.
Another from Crimson Glories, putting our children through university.
Fulgur doesn't get wenches. He takes them because he's a monster. Unfortunately,
that's pretty thematic currently. Yeah.
Probably can't say what he's intending on YouTube, but we'll leave it up to the imagination.
We'll leave it there, shall we say. We'll leave it there.
We'll leave it there. And upon reaching the inn, where Felix Maritful's suggestion was,
they find that the innkeeper and his wife, they're missing. And that a coven operating what is known
as the Darkstone Ring, so evil stonehenge, if you want to visual for that, probably took them.
So they figure, Gottrick figures, that's as good a way to pass the time as any.
So they go to find the coven and they find it without too much difficulty. This is a
fairly short story and discover that it's a secret cult dedicated to Slaanesh.
And the driver of that black coach is also a part of it. And additionally, the husband and the
innkeeper and his wife were also part of the coven of Slaanesh. This ends, as all Gottrick
and Felix stories will from here on out, Gottrick wanders in, starts just brutally murdering people.
Felix actually gets a couple of kills, but this is like his first time in active combat. So he's
pretty shaken up and then he looks over to his right and oh, Gottrick has left a mountain of
corpses. That's lovely. He's just wringing blood out of his mohawk. Yeah, pretty much.
Usually they dye their mohawks to keep them orange. I don't think Gottrick needs to do that.
His is just stained over use. Yeah. And they also find out that, oh, good, the cult of Slaanesh is
about to sacrifice a baby. Thankfully, they interrupted that. Since however, the innkeeper
and his wife are dead, they don't really have anything to do now because the tavern is not
providing them with ale, which means Gottrick no longer cares about this place. The fighting is
done. There's no beer to be had. It's time to move on. So they rescued the baby. They bring it back
to the town. And that's the first Gottrick and Felix story. It's not too long. It's short and
sweet, this one, but still a nice introduction to it. Like we were saying, it gives you like a bit of
what life is like in Warhammer fantasy, some of the dangers and whatnot. Also a fun fact about it,
this was supposed to be the only Gottrick and Felix story. When William King wrote it, he
originally planned for Gottrick to die. And then it wasn't even GW told to keep him around. He was
just like, you know, I like these characters too much. I'm not going to kill them. And what's the
first one called? The first story like collection is Troll Slayer. This one is Geheimnisnacht.
And how, and you say it's short and sweet. How short is it?
I 20, 30 pages. Oh, okay. Fair enough. Yeah, not long. Like I was saying, the first anthology is a
not super long individual stories. It's just, there's a lot of them. So covering it means I
need to talk about most of the story. Cause if I try and skip important bits or like skip bits,
it's all important because it's like a 30 page novella. If I'm correct, isn't Geheimnisnacht,
is that the event where the moon is reflects warpstones? It turns like green in the night.
It's one of the days more sleep, I believe overtakes monthly. So it's an ominous night for
all kinds of chaos shenanigans. Chaos cultists rise up. And as a general thing, since they're
the undead and necromancy is a thing, skeletons and zombies pop up everywhere. It's not pleasant.
Happy Halloween. Fair enough. Yeah, after that GW was like, damn, we like these characters too.
Why don't you write us some more? And then 17 books happened. Whoops. Then he wrapped his
hands and went, Oh, this is going to be good. I'm going to get lots of royalties. Not all by
William King, we should say. But, okay, he started, he wrote a lot of these and he got the,
the journey going. Where's the- I imagine he's still getting a decent few royalties.
Hopefully. Where's the, where's the next stop in the road then for the two boys?
The next one is Wolf Riders. So this one begins with Felix adding to the wench count,
as it were. He's defending a woman from three rather gruff looking trappers. They all have names,
but to be quite honest with you, they're side characters in a story about Gottrick and Felix.
I'm not giving them their names. They are trappers one, two, and three. Heavy side character energy.
They are the epitome of side character energy. When I say he was defending them, I mean, he
took some punches to the face and didn't pass out until Gottrick shows up and throws them all out.
Somehow he doesn't kill them. Not quite sure even to this day why he didn't just do that.
But now they can probably introduce ourselves between Felix and the woman whose name is Kirsten.
She explains her last name is Von Diehl and her family is migrating to the borderlands,
roughly like southeast of the empire, because they're just a little bit too cursed for polite
imperial society. Oh. They're not just, it's, it's just a little bit of a social faux pas having a
cursed bloodline. Not quite one that around. Fair enough. Gottrick and Felix are headed that
direction anyway, since they're going to the borderlands as well. So they join up with the
group and Felix and Kirsten fall madly in love. This is Felix's first love interest.
Judging by the way you say first, you can probably guess how this story ends. Of several.
Of several. Poor Felix. This one is actually pretty damn sad though. It's to a point where
Felix is like, he's like, I'm going to tell Gottrick, you know what, I was very drunk,
this whole oath thing, not my thing, I'm going to go retire with Kirsten and live happily ever after.
Which is, probably would have led to Gottrick cutting his head off at this point of the story.
He's breaking eight oaths to a dwarf, which is a big no-no, and that dwarf is Gottrick.
So at this point in the story, Felix left, he probably would have died then and there.
Thankfully, however, thankfully, for a matter of speaking, they're camping out in a region known
as the Cursed Hills on the way to the borderlands. Lovely. And naturally for the Cursed Hills,
Undead attack the caravan. They, you know, they hold them off reasonably well. Felix kills Trapper
number three because he went a little bit insane when that happened. This is why I gave them names,
their purpose is to cause slight drama for everyone. Now one of them has just turned into a nice little
hat and that's all there is left. Now one of them is now past tense. And in order to find safety
until they can like, you know, regroup and set out, they make, they go off to make camp in a ruined
fort. And this is the first time we get a hint at what Gottrick's life is like prior to becoming
a slayer, because he starts fixing up the fort real well. And you learn he was a dwarf engineer
before he took the oath to have to get himself killed in battle. He's got some handyman skills.
The whole time he's complaining that this is human shoddily made crap fort, but that's every dwarf
having to interact with the human in this setting. So thinking of Ron Sponson from Parks and Recs.
Now just him going with the shopping trolley to say, Hey, can I help you with anything? I know
more than you. And he just walks off. That's basically what what was going down. We do have
a donation from Lelouch Riu. He says, always a great way to start my Saturday morning. Love the
live streams and love y'all. Keep up the good work. Bok, thank you very much. Love you too, Bok.
We should get a symbol going for it like that. No, that's that's what can't do.
Get a hand sign going. Yeah. Just just as they're, you know, they're at the fort,
they're getting ready though. Wolf Riders attack, which are goblins riding wolves,
very, very self explanatory name. A whole ton of people are injured this time around because
they're still kind of coming to grips like fortifying and getting ready, including Kirsten
and the leader of the Von Deals who are sent back to a sorcerer who's their like medical
aid, a sorceress. And she goes, she's like, Yes, I will take care of them. So Felix and the rest of
the people who aren't injured are getting ready to defend the fort from the siege of goblins all
around them. And after about a day of absolutely no word on how everyone's recovering, Felix goes,
maybe, maybe I should check on them. And it turns out he goes to do that. And all of the Von Deals
are dead, including Kirsten, the sorceress they had healing them is dead, except for the nephew
of the leader of the Von Deals. And you don't want to get this is a complete coincidence. But
does anyone want to guess what the name of the nephew is? Heinrich? No, you're on the right track.
Yeah, it's his name is Manfred. Hey, nice. It's completely unrelated to Manfred von Karstein. But
we have a second Manfred had struck Warhammer. Oh, and by the way, we got a donation from bunny
cop for $10 saying got to go Felix old grim dark fans screw you, we will have airships and screw
ball comedy. And for some reason, they got money. They got money thrown at it for 17 books. Yeah,
that's right. Pretty much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Manfred killed them all. Because their
curse was mutation that when their grandfather was cursed by a heretic. And he decided that if
there's no more Von Deals, there can't be a curse on the Von Deals anymore. So he just killed them
all. Well, sound logic. Thinking outside the box. That's one way of solving the issue. He's not
he's not technically wrong. But maybe you could have found a better way. So I just put point out
someone put balkan stone in the balkan stone. That might have been my fault. I started that.
There's no no egg today. I'm sorry, no, I'm literally out of eggs is not an egg in my fridge.
No egg. Manfred and Felix duel. Felix kills him and is utterly depressed because the love of his
life has died in his arms. Kirsten wasn't quite dead yet. I flubbed a bit. He watched her die.
At least a Manfred did die in the setting. So that's a big win. One Manfred did finally die.
Thank thank the Lord. He was past tense, which is my favorite term, by the way, was past tense.
And Felix walks outside to see a very predictable site of Gottrick standing top a pile of corpses,
many goblins, many humans, a goblin shaman that was there, and trappers one and two.
So that that's finally come around. Thank you trappers one and two.
You died. Thank you for coming. I will now forget about you. You have done a little time.
I'll get out of the script. We don't need to. Pretty much.
Gottrick has lost his eye in the process. So if you're wondering why he always has an eye patch,
he lost it here. He seems remarkably unbothered by it. And as the surviving humans reformed
caravan and get going to the border princes, Gottrick and Felix head off for the next step
on their journey. So that is the end of Wolf Riders. The next one is called the Dark Beneath
the World. And the threat level takes a bit of a leap. So just you know, for reference, they've
killed some goblins. They've killed the slanish cult that was completely unimportant. Like it was
just cultists. No demons were involved. So bottom of the barrel cultists, some goblins, which are
only slightly above that. The next logical step is of course, Carrick Eight Peaks. Oh, for those
of you who aren't familiar, Stalingrad, but there's rats, goblins and magic. Oh, great.
It's huge as well, isn't it? It's absolutely enormous. It's like an entire mountain range
city with eight peaks being the main focal point. That is a dwarven ruin. It used to be one of the
greatest cities they had. Now it's constantly filled with dwarfs, orcs, greenskins, goblins,
all killing each other throughout the whole thing. It is short of walking into the realm of chaos,
the most dangerous place you can be in the Warhammer world. Right. I think in Total War,
Belogar Ironhammer is the dwarf who his campaign seeks to reconquer eight peaks and his clan used
to rule, I believe, right? Yeah, they used to rule it way back, way back in the day. But Grudge has
never forgotten. Grudge has never end. That's right. A dwarf never forgets and also never forgives.
Just complains. But yeah, so that's where they're going because they think there's going to be great
treasure there and probably a good death for Gajag, which I can't fault him on that last one.
On the way there, they come across a band of men under attack by orcs,
most of whom die, the men, three of them live. But the orcs are also pretty quickly dealt with
because they're unnamed enemies in the first few pages of a Gottrick and Felix book.
They are not long for the world. The three survivors from the party they kind of rescued
is one Aldrich Kepler, a knight of the Templars of the Fury Heart, which is just
the Empire of Man also has knights. They're kind of fault in irrelevancy as time goes on,
but they're there. Johann Zalberlich, a sorcerer who has a very fun name to say and
Jules Gascoyne, a Bretonian scout and therefore garbage human being.
The hills sound like footballers. Like if everyone here is watching football in the UK,
the space is ridden off any Manchester City team. Shout out to Man City. And they have
by Colin Ely I have no idea what I'm talking about. I barely know what you're talking about.
That's a proper law crime. Soccer is undoubtedly a sport. It's not called soccer. It's really not.
I don't have any skin in the game. I'm like, yeah, let's call it soccer. Why would you call it
soccer? It's football because they actually kick with their foot. Because there's a lot of
soccer's who watch it. They run. They hold it in their hands and run with it. It's football.
It starts with a kickoff. So there you go. Which one more deserves to be football?
The American one. Clearly. You would say you would say. We can't argue about breakfast now as well.
Listen to the game. So I keep going. We were talking about the Bretonian. It got me fired up.
Oh, you don't. You don't want to keep going about football.
So I said, wait, someone said our Man City good footballers, they're number one basically for
the last few years. So hell yeah. Good for them. Football. Thank you.
Anyway, not football related. Is it called the Super Bowl because they make pottery at some point?
I don't know why it's called the Super Bowl. It's pronounced Super Bowl. There's a whole sub
owl pictures and it's called Super Bowl. It's great.
It's just like the Dark Angel subreddit. Don't look that up.
Thank you, Harry. By the time Rugby is better.
Definitely. The Bretonian, Johan has.
Right. Those three gentlemen are also on a way to Caricate Peaks on their own quest. So they figure,
hey, let's all five of us journey together. They enter a dwarven outpost outside of Caricate
Peaks, like the entrance where I fucking belliger, iron hammer is just chilling out.
He's just there, which I remember reading them going, isn't isn't he really important? Why is
he just in this story with no ceremony? Holy crap.
Oh, sorry.
Very special nation.
For two hundred dollars. Thank you very much.
I love you a long time.
Thank you, Anthony.
Cheers, fellas. Always glad to catch you all live.
Putting a Mohawk on my vote and call and have my head canning that instead of gotcha killing
demons until it was age of Sigmar, he was killing them until it was 40 K Rock and Stone. That's
epic, bro. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. That's very generous, Anthony. Thank you.
Seriously, thank you.
You guys are too nice to us.
Belliger brings out the love, doesn't he?
Anyway, yeah, they ask for permission to enter eight peaks and receive it and are basically
wished good luck with that, guys. Have fun. And it is soon revealed that the three men,
two men and a Bretonian, were journeying to retrieve an artifact from Aldrid's Order.
A Karagul, a magical sword that was lost. One of the last times the dwarves tried to retake
that awful hellhole of a city. It did not go well. It never goes well trying to enter
Karagate peaks.
It's a good sword, by the way. It's a good.
It is a very good.
Another donation.
It will become relevant later.
Stephen Cooper, thank you. Which one deserves to be, sorry, which one deserves to be called
football, the one that's always been called football or the one that started as soccer?
Just asking. I don't know what that means.
I'm going to assume you're on the American side, so hell yeah.
Sounds like it. Yeah. Good job, buddy.
Oh, no, no. Most of the world doesn't watch it. That's the problem.
Skill issue.
True.
Anyway, a priestess of the dwarf god, goddess Velia also warns the group that
evil lurks in the heart of the city, so be careful.
But they go in anyways because that's both the vaguest warning you could possibly give.
And like a fantasy setting, there's evil afoot. Thank you.
Godric seeks death, so that's enticing him, if anything.
And everything inside Karagate makes is evil. It's filled with orcs and scaven. It sucks in there.
So, yeah, that that that warning doesn't do much.
The journey inside is pretty regularly broken up with fights against goblins, orcs, more goblins,
and more orcs. But they're also followed by strange lights the whole way, and they're kind of kind of
creeping everyone out. Eventually, the lights are revealed to be dwarf ghosts who beg Godric for
help clearing out an evil that's settled in their tomb and is disturbing the rest.
And Godric agrees because even as a slayer, he's still a dwarf. You got to respect the ancestor
tombs. He agrees to help them out. So underneath all of him, insulting random caravan drivers,
wives, he is ultimately a good a good hero. Way, way down. Deep, very deep, very deeply down.
Eventually, they... Sorry, Crimson Glory gave us 9.99 US dollars. It says,
Eli, you should never have to eat an egg again. I'll donate to... This is my character arc.
There you go. A donation character arc is the strangest thing I've ever heard in my life.
But thank you so much, Crimson Glory.
Uh. Thank you.
The chat about football is not stopped, by the way.
It's still going.
Uh, yeah. But yeah, they come to a great treasure room, and at top of the pile of treasures,
is that caragal sword. Hey, look, they already found it. But before Aldred can grab it,
a heavily mutated troll busts in and just kind of rips his head off. So thank you, Aldred,
for your time here. You were appreciated. Good luck in the afterlife. And as the group starts
fighting it, they realize they can't damage it for more than a moment, because trolls already
can regenerate pretty heavily in Warhammer. And to top it off, this one's been mutated by Warpstone,
which I wonder how that Warpstone got here. And so it basically super-charges its regeneration.
They can get a single blow in, and then it's healed.
The Scout and the Sorcerer die, but not before the Sorcerer figures out fire will obliterate this
thing. So Felix tosses lantern oil on top of it, sets it on fire, and that lets Gatric finally put
the damn thing down. As they do that, a horde of goblins and orcs enters the room.
And Gatric and Felix prepare to finally end their story. And then a army—Ilai, you were saying the
plot armor's here. That's right, baby. This one was earned. I'd say this one was earned.
The dwarf ghosts from earlier, as thanks for clearing the tomb of the horrible troll,
form an army of dwarf ghosts, killing most of the orcs and robbing the rest. Gatric complains to them
that they stole a great doom from him, because, you know, a hundred orcs is
as good a way to go as any, as far as he's concerned. And they tell him that a much greater doom is coming for him, and soon.
Dwarves ghost sounds cool. It's like that scene of—
They are pretty cool.
It's like the Lord of the Rings scene, basically.
Yeah, you take that scene, but then you just like squash it, and you're like, yeah, I can visualize it now.
It's the Lord of the Rings. It's Pelennor Fields, but you can see above, like, the entire thing.
You can stand way at the back.
You can stand way at the back. If you were like archers, you could stand among them and shoot over their heads.
That would be quite effective.
Oh, Tom Warren has given ten dollars. Thank you, Tom. He says,
Have some money because Colin is the reason I have decided to read Gatric and Felix, and I'm already obsessed with it.
Nice.
That's very cool.
More Gatric and Felix is good.
Do you ever wonder how many people you've gotten to read a book, whether it's Gatric and Felix or a space marine book or whatever?
Because occasionally I get comments like, oh, I've read this. Thanks for the video.
I don't know about that, but I have been told by numerous people that Bretonnia Hagerd was not nearly as prevalent before I came around.
Yeah, I agree.
So you know what? That one badge of fucking pride right there.
Oh, man.
That is a talk about an effect on the community.
It's so sad.
It's like, what's your legacy? And you just look back and it's just a bunch of you're going, fuck Bretonnia.
You're about to be released in the new world.
I did good. I did good.
Uh, no.
Uh, gotcha.
Oh, what's up?
No, go ahead.
Oh, they decide not to take any treasure because that would just disturb the dwarfs' rest again.
But Felix does take Haragul to honor the memory of the comrades he fought alongside and because cool magic sword.
Let's let's be honest. He at least part in part took that because it's a cool magic sword.
Yeah, baby.
They're very mercenary heroes for every great good thing they do.
It's like genuinely like that's just straight up heroic.
There's also something perhaps a little bit less noble.
Children.
Well, that's well, that's pretty cool.
That's pretty swell and all, but I like to explain to you my fee.
And then you know, like, just going to be a real shame if you didn't pay my fee.
We're pretty damn broke. Can you do us a favor?
Yeah, they have to.
They met because didn't Godric attack the right's God?
Yeah.
Yeah. He killed right's God.
They're the royal guard of the emperor, basically.
So I get for reference, the closest thing could think of that from 40k if you're not familiar is
imagine some random guy from the leagues of Otan just obliterating a squad of the custodians.
If that ever happened, I think we'd all cry for the hard.
I'd cry tears of joy.
I'd be like, yeah, it'd be so funny.
It'd be too good.
The seeding, the seeding that would come after that would be just immaculate.
I would be salty at her.
All the custodian like players just coming out of their caves going re just clawing.
My range is so small already.
But that is that is the dark beneath the world that then promptly leave Karak eight
peaks, which is probably smart because that place is a hell hole.
The next story is the Mark of Slenesh, which is another very short and sweet one.
I think this one's honestly like 20 pages.
If that got trick has suffered a blow to the head, which initially Felix is like, you know,
he's probably just he's a bit tired and sore.
He's just a little bit concussed, but it's got trick.
So who cares?
He's fine.
And his weird attitude he's got, he's probably just a bit dazed.
They go to an end then because, you know, got trick likes beer.
He's a dwarf that'll that'll get him back on his feet.
And some people start picking a fight with Felix, Felix feeling very confident in not even in himself.
In got trick standing next to him, it's like Felix is at a like he's at a bar.
He's like, I've got this really big friend, right?
You're not going to mess with me.
He's doing that for Ragnarok.
I mean, like you can't defeat me.
You can't beat me.
You're off the name of like, you can't defeat me.
No, but he can.
That so he basically tries to throw got trick at them when it's looking like a fight is about
to break out, except it turns out got trick doesn't remember that he's got trick anymore.
That blow to the head really messed with his head and he has completely forgotten his slayer oath,
like who he is, everything.
So that's not great.
So Felix gets his ass whooped and even got trick are thrown out of the tavern.
And it also turns out the name of the stories because the town is full of slumash cultists.
Oh, is it just the tavern?
He kicked out a tavern.
Yeah.
No, no, there's more.
You got to fix got trick.
Remember they go to, they find an herbalist who's very sketchy.
And when I say sketchy, in order to cure got trick, he tells Felix to go out and get some
ingredients to make this a nice drought, to restore his memory.
One of the ingredients he has is warpstone.
No, I don't, I think that's not being used for the, for the elixir, but he just has warpstone.
When Felix asked him like, isn't that horribly dangerous and basically chaos?
I don't know.
Nah, nah.
It's like, nah, it's fine.
Do trust me on that.
So Felix now without got trick is got trick is just kind of sitting in the tower of the
herbalist and a stupor, has to go find all this stuff.
And the whole story can basically be summarized as Felix playing the most dangerous game of chicken
with a cultists, mutants, I think some goblins at some point.
And he's basically like, you know how like they give you advice, like when you come across
like a line or something like look bigger than you are, or like some wild animals.
Or like, if it's a certain type of bear, you lie down and play dead.
If it's not, yeah,
Bran lay down, black fight back, white, you're dead.
You accept it.
Yeah, that's like what the mutants Felix, like he starts brandishing his sword like,
go away, go away.
And because they're dumb mutants and just see big shiny points, they're like, no, we're going away.
So it's that for like 15 pages. He's very, very narrowly avoiding getting himself beaten and or killed the whole time.
And eventually you just hear someone shouting from a window, me so horny.
He's like, what?
And yeah, he eventually goes back to the herbalist finally.
And he makes the drought and the drought doesn't work.
Gotrick still doesn't know he's got trick. So Felix just starts beating the hell out of the herbalist.
He just beating the crap out of them.
And a pot falls on Gotrick's head.
And would you believe what happens?
It's back.
Yeah, baby.
He does the back, baby.
We tried turning it off and on again.
That's what he did.
Perfect.
He turns their way.
Yeah.
And Felix feels got again on what's happened.
And the story ends with gotcha going, well, why don't we pay that town a visit, go back to that tavern.
And presumably a whole lot of bodies that you don't get to see in the end credits.
When the thing hit his head, did it make the window sound like, din, din, din, din?
I don't think they confirmed it, but I like to believe it did either that or like the sound of Wile E. Coyote getting hit with an anvil.
That's one of the goofier Gotrick and Felix stories, but I love it for that reason.
They're all a little bit like.
But that's the beauty of the series though, isn't it?
Like you get licensed to be a bit goofy.
You can't do that with Space Marine story because they're too stoic.
Saying that the next one is a takes a hard left turn into being very ungoofy.
Gotrick and Felix now, this one is called Blood and Darkness.
The traveling through the Drakwald forest, which is in like the midden land north of Altdorf in the Empire.
But if you can find a map just to roughly locate it and they find a young girl named Kat.
She is the sole survivor of a beastman raid on a village.
She hid or I think someone hit her and when the beastman left, it was just her left amongst the ruins.
So she kind of wanders out and got you can Felix find her.
Another hint of what Gotrick's life was like becoming before becoming a slayer.
He's very out of character and like polite and kind towards Kat.
Like he just calls her little one and is like very fatherly towards her.
Compared to his usual view of people who either aren't Felix or people who are giving him booze,
which is complete contempt at best.
So he bit of a hint towards not a big hint, but you could probably extrapolate some stuff that led to him becoming a slayer happened.
We'll get to that later, though.
These beastmen were not just, you know, you as a quick Warhammer fantasy, lor blurb.
Beastmen are everywhere like a beastman raiding a village is like the sun rising.
It is a completely unremarkable occurrence.
But these ones are led by a warrior of chaos, champion of corn named Justine,
who is on the verge of becoming a demon princess and has a demon of corn in her head telling her what to do to become one.
Which I thought was cool because this was like before GW abandoned
corn theoretically having an honorable side to them and being capable of subtlety and things that aren't the world eaters.
I do like the idea that it's just that killer rip out that baby's face.
That person to death.
It's like, shut up.
Well, stamp on that one to death.
It's even a contradiction in the actual chart of corn is that he cares not from where the blood flows, which is ironic.
And surely if you were honorable, you would care where it would come from. Like that's not honorable stuff.
Ah, well, the thing is, it's you need you need the blood needs to come from a worthy fight.
He's got a war.
I know. Poor Cornlaw just gets butchered like corn does.
Oh, we did get another little donation here by Tom Warren.
He says when I read the amnesia story, I actually stopped to text my brother what Gotrick said in quotes.
Not that I have anything against census violence manling, but why?
I forgot.
That's pretty good.
Thank you, Tom.
That's yeah, that was a banger.
Thank you for reminding me that quote.
I can't believe I forgot that.
Oh, good stuff.
But justine, you know, to take a hard left turn back into awful.
Justine was assaulted by a noble before she was a chaos warrior and which culminated her and wandering to the chaos wastes,
returning with an army of beastmen and a prophecy stating no warrior can kill her where she destroys the castle and the nobleman.
She then takes her beastmen army, who are strangely accepting of her being in charge because the beastmen usually do not like humans in any capacity.
Although they do love the chaos gods and this lady has a demon of corn directly in her head.
So that's more or less why they're like, all right, you can stay.
They don't like you, but you will live with it.
So all she has to do to become a demon princess is kill cat.
You were joking about that earlier, Andy.
Pretty much what the demon was telling her to do.
So it's literally the most like, oh, you know, you're fine. Take it. Get the cat. Get the girl. Do it. Just do it.
Destroy the child. Destroy the child. Do it.
Just maybe a villain tattoo with a descending and there's this like aim for the cat, dude.
And for the cat, I'm trying evil Ted.
But yeah, Gottrick, Felix and Kat fight their way to a nearby village and they warn it of the coming danger.
Sure enough, Justine and the beastmen come on in and begin attacking the village.
And Gottrick fights Justine head on.
But the only thing stronger than plot armor is prophecy armor.
So Gottrick can't kill Justine. He injures her. It's a it's a brutal fight.
But because of that prophecy, Gottrick just he just can't kill her.
Like it's giving her in universe plot armor.
But when she sees Justine or when Justine sees Kat, she abends the fight and be lines directly towards Kat.
And despite the constant misgivings she has about the demon telling her to kill the child,
she finally decides I'm just going to kill the goddamn child.
And, you know, it's revealed finally that, yes, Kat is Justine's daughter.
Not not exactly a great not the most hard plot twist to see coming because I didn't bring it up too much.
But the whole story is not that long. And it's constantly filled with hints like it's daughter.
They're related. But yeah, so she she tries to kill Kat so she can become full on demon princess.
Felix tries to intervene and just no uncertain terms gets folded like an omelet.
Yeah, not even close. But as Justine was strangling him to death, Kat grabbed Justine's sword and killed Justine with it.
And the prophecy is fulfilled since Kat is not a warrior. She is a like six year old child.
Damn already got a kill count.
Yep. And and thus was the prophecy fulfilled. No warrior killed Justine.
And Korn was furious like a six year old.
No, he has not where the blood flows, how long as it does. So he was happy either way.
We have one more donation by Mr. Idiot.
He says, would you rather go on adventures with Kifus, Kane or Gotrick and Felix?
You vibe well with either choice, but you only get far enough.
You only there my brain. You only get enough plot armor to survive.
Thanks for the last book. Oh, I mean, what are you guys choosing?
I choose Felix, Gotrick or Felix.
Yeah, because I'm going to one person and I'd rather live in fantasy than 40k.
Well, Kifus Kane is also, you know, you'd get Jurgen too, but Jurgen smells like really, really bad.
Like literally like piss. Supernaturally bad.
But yeah, the this story ends, you know, Gotrick touchingly is like we can Felix is like, like they're debating like.
Oh, pardon me. Air got caught in my throat.
I started joking on it, but they're like, can we take it with her?
And like, no, we can't. We are actively seeking death.
No, we cannot take this six year old with us, however old she is.
And so they they tearfully say, you know, they'll never forget each other.
And Kat stays with the survivors of that village and Gotrick and Felix are off to their next adventure.
And on their way to the city of Nuln.
But there's two more stories before we get to Skaven Slayer, so we're not there yet.
Is Nuln.
That's where they make guns.
Probably.
It's just for people who don't know, like Law Reasons.
What is the city of Nuln to the Empire, Colin?
The city of Nuln is the Empire's like capital of technological development and like making weapons.
So like gunfire, cannons, like all that good stuff.
That's what Nuln is. It used to be the capital.
And then a fat empire moved it to a fat emperor who was useless, moved it to Altdorf to hide from a fat goblin.
But you know, that's that's a story for another time.
Shout out to Grom. He's a real one. The punch.
The absolute chat.
But on the way to Nuln, the story is the mutant master.
They stop at a village known as Blooddorf, which not super important.
I just like how they know they name the towns that it fleshes out the world.
The villagers of Blooddorf are being held at ransom by a nearby sorcerer who is kidnapped all of their children out of fear
because they're afraid if they make them angry or gotchigan Felix make them angry, he'll hurt their kids.
The villagers drug gotchigan Felix and hand them over to the sorcerer when they're at the tavern drinking, slip them a little bit of a something drug or whatever.
And then gotchigan Felix wake up and chains in the sorcerer's tower.
They discover that the sorcerer is a man named Kruger, who was actually a fellow student of Felix at the university in Altdorf.
This guy left after it was discovered he was stealing some forbidden texts about chaos and all that whatnot.
And he somehow got it into his head that this fourth rate sorcerer could create an army of mutants to conquer all of the empire with.
From his starting power base of kidnapping children in a town in the middle of nowhere.
He's got a go getter attitude.
He's expanding his CV. He's working on himself.
Yeah. The pair gotchigan Felix them freed themselves because gotchigan is a dwarf with a muscle mass index of 110%.
So he just rips. He just breaks the chains that freeze Felix and they cut their way through a hoard of the mutants he's already created and corner Kruger in his library.
Kruger explains that the mutants they all just murdered were the children he kidnapped because apparently just like Spartans from Halo, children are easier to mutate than adults.
And Felix sees red for a moment, throws Kruger out of his neck out of the tower by the neck, falls to his death and gotrich goes, good job, Mandling.
I like violence. Good work.
They then returned to the town to once again pay them a visit.
And I'm assuming this one also ends with a cut to black massive pile of corpses.
This one is truly an awkward conversation. You're like, Oh, did you see our children? Yep. Yeah, we did. Yeah.
They are. They're growing.
Got your right here. Got your right here is going to send them to you.
I just sent you to them. Every story there that you mentioned, there's a big pile of bodies.
I just feel sorry for whoever has to clean that up.
That poor guy is just like, right.
I've got tricks and gotchigan Felix been around. Oh, no, no.
Just there with the mall. Oh, well, thankfully half of these take place in the middle of nowhere.
So I think the bodies just kind of are left to rot or scavenger.
So free lunch or food.
And then we get to the last one story in Troll Slayer, which is Ulrich's children.
The pair are tracking a monster that gotrich thinks is another troll once again through the Dracwalled forest.
And while the forest Felix notes is unnaturally quiet, the wolves are also unnaturally active.
Ulrich, by the way, for those of you aren't aware, is the known as the winter wolf.
He's a god of the empire. So Ulrich is a he's doing something right now.
The pair are separated and Felix is captured by Zeke cultists posing as imperial soldiers
alongside a woman named Magdalena, who the cultists have need of for one reason or other.
Pardon me. When captured, Felix discovers that Magdalena is a child of someone known as one of the children of Ulrich, who is a werewolf.
So hey, werewolves exist in Warhammer fantasy.
Only really in this story, but they are out there.
Skin walls in Norsca, don't they?
Yeah, this one is more like a traditional werewolf, though, like not chaos corrupted.
It runs in all fours, this one is the proper is the real deal.
It sparkles.
In the sunlight. Team Jacob.
No, sorry.
We also have a Tom Warren $2 donation. Thank you Tom.
The word of the day is defenestation.
Did I say that right? Defenestation.
Throwing fellows out windows.
The action of throwing someone out a window.
Damn, that sounds like it probably was born in the, you know, Bohemia for some reason.
I don't know if anyone gets that.
Throwing Protestants out of windows or throwing cats out of windows.
It happened a lot. Enough to mean like a, it happened enough to be like it was a common occurrence at some point.
The good old 30 years war.
Good old, I was like, oh my god, again the checks are thrown out of a window.
I just like the idea, they're like, this is happening so much we need a word for it.
Right. Okay. What are we going to come up with?
Good stuff.
The Chaos Band, including a sorcerer named Vorman, plan on using Magdalena to lure her father over.
Because her father is one of like the wrecked children of Ulric.
It's never explained if they're like divine children or if it's just a metaphor because they have Ulric support or whatever.
But either way, he plans on using Magdalena, the guy's daughter, to lure him there.
So the sorcerer can steal his body for himself so he can be super strong werewolf man.
Felix, after the caption put in a cell, does pretty alright for himself, honestly.
Especially considering that Gottrick is still nowhere to be found.
He starts like solid snaking his way around the manor and just killing a bunch of cultists.
Including the leader, like, but not the sorcerer.
But Felix on his own has already taken out like a good chunk of a Chaos cult.
So he's still pretty cool when Gottrick's not around.
Around this point, the werewolf and an accompanying pack of wolves arrive and start ripping through the cultists.
So solid Felix and werewolves are now here.
So cultists going through it.
But not before the Vorman sorcerer completes his spell and switches bodies with the werewolf.
So while he was ripped to bits, but with his dying breast, breath, dying breast, dying breath.
Not dying breath.
The spell goes off and now he's in the werewolf body.
Felix, however, for some reason the cult had a dagger of pure warpstone just laying around, which Felix finds.
And is at this point the only thing that'll kill the werewolf.
So Felix stabs the Vorman werewolf with it and he dies.
Not, you know, not the most climactic fight in the world, but you can't fault him for getting the job done.
And kills him. All the wolves that accompanied the werewolf originally flee.
And Gottrick finally shows up complaining about having to walk through miles and miles of snow to find Felix again.
He declares that Felix says like this is Magdalene, as you know, explains the situation.
He's like, but she's a she had nothing to do with this whole affair.
She's you know, she's innocent. She's fine.
Gottrick then goes as a shape shifter.
She is clearly corrupted by chaos and kills her.
Nice. Oh, oh, he just does that.
Felix takes this about as well as you'd expect seeing a random woman just get chopped into pieces.
And it kind of it kind of sticks with them for a little while.
And then they then they go to Nuln.
And that was the end of Ulrich's children.
Two dead werewolves, one of which, because Gottrick decided I don't think you're good.
I don't like you. You don't seem like good people.
Flack. Oh, that was a legit version of like we don't like your kind around here.
And except he didn't except he didn't make her just go away.
He just he just unmade her split her and literally down the middle with the way.
Quick question. Does he have his axe? Yeah, he does.
So just for a brief summary, what that's something special, obviously, I won't go into details why, but Gosh is carrying basically a rune axe, right?
Yeah, it is a very potent magical act like Felix has a magical sword.
This thing like God's axe makes that sword look like it's a children's toy.
It's big, those head. This one. Yeah, it's like he has to wield it into.
Well, he doesn't have to. He chooses. He can wield it in two hands.
Most other dwarfs would have to use it in two hands.
Godric doesn't because he's built like a monster, but it is a very heavy, very sharp magical sword that never dolls.
It's it's something and it will pretty heavily tie into later stories.
But that's for now. It's just a Godric's weapon of choice.
It's not super elaborated on for now.
Just some overall notes at this point in the story, if anything, Felix is just afraid of Godric throughout all of it.
He's a world with the violence and clearly has no problem committing murder if he feels like it.
Felix also isn't that skilled yet. He's getting there.
Like you just said, he snuck his way around a manor and killed a bunch of cultists.
He's getting there, but no one's quite where they're going to be a couple of stories down the line.
Like Felix and Godric aren't that close yet.
Godric, I mean, only ever really calls him Mandling.
But at this point, it's not like just what he calls him out of familiarity.
He's like, fucking Mandling, stop being dumb.
Follow me into the Goblin Dem. Don't be a bitch.
And also we should mention Felix is not seeking his doom at all.
So he's playing us in the story, like reluctant, like, oh my God, the pit bull is going in again.
I think he realizes, though, that anything, any situation where Godric dies, it means that he's probably also going to die.
Yeah, that becomes something later on where he's like, you know, I didn't think about this at first, but if Godric's dead, I'm probably next.
Yeah, he's just getting in the way of his hot girl summer.
I want to be doing all these other things, but I can't leave.
I'm stuck here because the alternative is probably death.
Oh, well, but that is the end of the Troll Slayer story.
Ah, we have a selection of stories rather.
We have a possibly just a few questions or comments as this is somewhat.
Well, we get a feeling we're going a little bit away in the iceberg now, but now we're getting to the bit where it's like, oh, again, we can't see it.
We've done the peak part, but I do have a question is kind of related, kind of not.
My question is, what is the Ohio of the fantasy world?
Oh, you don't even know what to think about that. Probably, Austin.
Also, I didn't know that's it's a region in the Empire. That's east.
Oh, host is east.
Is it just as bad as well?
I mean, it's it's damp full of mists and shadows and swamps and crap.
So it kind of sucks. So I'll go.
That's I feel bad if anyone here is from Ohio.
I don't. But you, but even I, even I know that joke.
That's that's American states. You make fun of the other states when they make fun of yours.
And when there's no other people from other states around, you make your state because it sucks.
Or the French. That was basically my question.
I wanted to somehow dog on Ohio because I don't know even know what I'd have even been there, but I just know people don't like it.
Even the people who live there.
I always misplace Iowa and Ohio, but then I'm like, oh, but Iowa has slipknot. So that's fine. Yeah.
Where's Iowa?
It's to the west.
Wait, hang on.
Is it near like the Dakotas? It's it's right. Yeah, it's right under Minnesota.
It is immediately. Oh, yeah.
Minnesota died in Minnesota. Oh, no. Oh, you can't just say that.
Oh, God. Yeah. I was it was a family trip and my insulin pump came up.
I didn't know. So I was just eating a ton of shit.
Oh, and then I had a little bit of a diabetic ketoacidosis moment.
Oh, no. Anyway, all right there. How are you doing?
A little bit of a fun. Your diabetic machine seems to have failed.
Well, that's a shame.
I also peed all over my dad's car from the illness.
You know, that was just funny.
Poor dad had to deal with that.
Someone says Tom Rogers, don't you dare disrespect Iowa?
OK, that's probably the only person who would defend it.
Maybe one thing in Iowa. Maybe one thing in Iowa.
Maybe a thing in a cornfield or something.
Goats.
Probably they have a goat.
They put a goat on the cover of the slipknot, one of their albums.
Yeah, that's Iowa. It's a goat.
They probably have a goat there, though.
Does anyone else have any comments or questions?
Any other questions or anything?
All I want is to look like Godric.
Big true. Yes.
Is there a thing with the dwarven biology where alcohol keeps their muscle mass in place or something?
Because I keep looking at the photos of Godric and I'm like, he drinks a lot.
I'm assuming they eat a lot and he probably keeps healthy and stuff.
You'd expect him to have a pot belly at some point, but he's like, no, not having that.
Dwarves are just magically jacked all the time.
Well, the thing is, they're fighting so often that they burn all the calories pretty immediately.
Killing an ogre burns a few calories, bro.
Yeah, it really does.
Sure. I also mentioned that. Just for people who don't know in reference, they've made it so far.
We mentioned the dwarves slayers. They don't all have necessarily the same pact.
And there is just a bit of expanded lore. There's a slayer god, is it?
Not Gurney. Grimnir. Grimnir.
Grimnir is the slayer god and they sort of have their own.
It's a weird thing. They don't necessarily, I guess, worship in the same way.
The worship is basically taking the slayer oath and then seeking a mighty doom.
Yeah, it's like the slayer oath.
There's one person who technically kind of doesn't have to fill it, Ungrem Ironfist, who is the king of Carrot Kadrin,
which is like the slayer keep. So he has to balance, I'm a slayer, I need to go find death.
But also, I'm the king of this place, I need to keep it going for all the other slayers to have a hub to worship
and get their names carved in the big pillar of slayers and stuff.
Everyone, other slayer, those like, well, I'm a slayer now. I am functionally dead.
It just hasn't quite happened yet. Time to go find death in battle.
And poor old Godric is seeking his mighty doom, which again, Felix is hoping to record.
I always wanted to let you feel it's kind of goes just just just get the doom going, bro.
There's just doom. There are a couple of times I die already. Come on.
I want to go home. Very much. But I think it's kind of it's like most of the slayer peak is just filled with essentially dwarves
who are like not happy to be there. No, they're they're pretty all miserable. They're still alive.
They don't have to serve in like the slayer king's armies, do they?
No, it's just it's just like it's a big hub for them. They can all gather and like rest in between missions to go try and get themselves killed.
But in work. All right. I'll go get some food at the Slayer Keep and increase odds essentially to like, oh, if I join the rest of the lads
for like the bachelor weekend, maybe we will get crunked at the same time.
Yeah. And it's like if any dwarf armies are like like proper armors are going to war, like they may be like, hey, send a messenger to Caracadra
and be like, we need like a hundred slayers. We're going to find death in battle.
And then a thousand of them will show up instead. Like we have extra.
I'm imagining the quartermaster and the cook at the Slayer Keep just like you guys again.
Why aren't you dead yet? I'm trying. Fine. What you need?
I think all of those slayers, to be fair, not all of them are the keepers.
Yeah. Not everyone there is, but a good chunk of them are slayers.
Like people, there's the people who are needed, you know, keep it running and then everyone else is pretty much just a slayer.
Yeah. Be a pain if you're like chef was like, I have a Slayer of two, so I'm going to go like cook the stew, but first I'm going to like charge into the scaven just to see.
Too good at fighting. Right. Let me get the spoon out.
The big spoon. He cooks the stew by dunking his head in the pot to taste.
I suffer for the flavor.
The flavor.
So there's anyone have any, maybe a few comments or questions here, which is, oh, I can't read that one out.
Tyrion and a L'Oreal are the best couple because they are high elves, meaning automatically that this is crazy Scotsman.
Are you telling me that there's not a greater love story than Godric and Felix, because that is deeply upset.
I appreciate their bromance, but yeah, because you know, the only thing that's stronger than a romance is a bromance.
Or Marathi and whatever clothes she has keeping it together.
Come on, come on, come on, Flats right there.
With that being said, though, we're ready to dive deeper, boys, if Colin, you're ready. I'm ready for Skaven Slayer. Skaven Slayer.
The funny rat himself. Oh, this is.
I cannot wait.
This after we got to Skaven Slayer and the first story is Skaven's Claw.
The pair finally make it to Nuln after like half of the previous series like Troll Slayer books were them going to Nuln.
Finally at Nuln. It's funny, like we were saying earlier, it's like the capital of the Empire's engineering and stuff.
There are just gunshots at random and at first Felix is like just constantly ducking and people are looking at him weird like, dude, why are you ducking?
It's just the engineering school test firing cannons.
Because this is like a medieval, like just ending, like entering Renaissance and just real era.
So the people in Nuln are like, you know, they're just they're test firing the weapons.
Everyone else who visits Nuln is like, Jesus, what is happening?
That's one of the things like, oh, you can tell you're not a local essentially.
Yeah, it's like, look at the tourists.
That's even Band of Brothers where the new recruits are in like the tail end of the war and there's all the veterans and there's like a bit where a shell goes off and all the veterans are just standing around casually.
Tom Hanks' son just jumps to the deck and he's like, you're right, mate, calm down.
Just an explosion, don't worry about it.
Why does this remind me of like, I think it's a video of the woman saying, you know, someone's not from New York because if they look up when someone's just randomly yelling or screaming.
Because like, he just yelled like nobody looks in New York because I guess the subway is crazy.
This is a certified American city moment.
When I first moved to London, it took me a while to get used to like the sirens for both ambulances and police.
I was like, what is that noise?
What's going on?
Yeah.
But they get to Nuln, except they have a problem.
They're jobless.
Adventurer is not a job.
They do not make money doing that.
They just leave bodies.
They make bodies, but they don't make money.
So they have to become sewer jacks, which are Imperials who patrol the sewers of Imperial cities.
They look for mutants, heretics, and most importantly, Skaven lurking under there.
Though that being said, they rarely if ever talk about the Skaven outside of themselves.
Because Skaven are considered to be a myth by most and by those who are aware of the Skaven, that myth is like enforced and knowledge of them is suppressed.
Because if people knew the Skaven were real, the Imperials would panic because there's cities of rat men living under pretty much every major city they have.
And the Skaven would panic when they realized that the Empire knows they're all there and start an invasion.
And I can imagine the townsfolk and the village people being a bit stupid.
Like if we put a block of cheese over there, they're not going to come attack our house, are they?
Because there'll be cheese over there.
And you're like, you know, you say that, but to be fair, that would probably work.
The thing is, they'd eat the cheese.
They'd be like, that was nice.
People in that house.
Then they'd eat them.
We don't.
You know what?
Fair enough.
It's a temporary donation here.
Another one from Tom Warren.
Thank you so much, Tom.
He says, I live in New York.
That might be why I envy Iowa.
I don't know if that's valid.
Not sure, but we believe you.
We hope you...
Look, anyone who lives in proximity to an American city can tell you that American cities suck.
But why?
I don't know.
I just don't like cities.
To be fair, London feels big, but then they're like spaces of peace and sort of horror and stuff.
I don't like hearing gunshots when I'm at my friend's place in the city.
That's why I don't like the city.
They're also centralized cities.
They're not like your nice European cities where you can walk places.
Fun fact about London.
It's technically a forest.
Really?
Because there's enough trees, isn't there?
There's enough green spaces and there's something about the way it's technically a forest.
There are deer that roam.
Bushy Park.
I've been there.
There's a section where a friend of mine lived there for a while and you go to the park and there's just like, deers.
There's wild deer roaming around certain parks in London.
We got that in my little city room.
Dude, we have that too, except it's people on fentanyl.
We have the fentanyl and the deer.
It's a very diverse biome with lots of flora.
Why are they plants?
Fauna.
Fauna, yeah.
The Westbridge fauna.
The idea of going to a city and watching people run on all fours just doesn't work.
Speaking of adventure though, we're in the sewers right now.
Skaven Slaire.
Skavenclaw.
This is the first story.
This is all like the Skaven Slayer is still like one-off stories, but they work together to make a complete whole.
So this is like Gatwick and Felix is still like starting to get like, it's not quite at the point where it's like it's all one big novel.
But it is now like the stories are cohesive holes working together.
So while Sewer Jacks, while they're working with a squad of Sewer Jacks, they come across a Skaven conversing with a nobleman.
Pardon me.
The sergeant of the Sewer Jacks is killed.
And while Gottrick manages to kill the Skaven by tossing a hatchet directly into its brain, the nobleman escapes.
And Felix did manage to see his face, which you think, well, that's just helpful.
The problem is it's a noble.
Felix staying at a seedy tavern working as a sewer jack is not exactly welcome in the politer areas of Nuln society.
So if he tried to just walk around and point fingers at nobles, at best he'd get thrown out.
At worst, he'd probably be killed.
So he has a face and nothing else, no name, no nothing.
But later that night, some luck happens because Felix has a brother named Otto, Otto Jager.
And the blind pig tavern Felix is staying at, he finds Gottrick and Felix and he invites Felix to dine with him.
And for the first time in months, Felix finally gets a taste at the good life again,
which is not sleeping in taverns that are filled with bedbugs and rats and almost dying every other day.
And having to put up with Gottrick farting occasionally.
Yeah, and have to deal with that.
Parts are the worst. They're deadly.
You say that? That is a plot point in one of the later books.
I could write a book about Gottrick and Felix.
For reference though, what is it Felix's family does think is, is it their merchants?
They're merchants and it actually causes some trouble later on because like it's like that era like in history
when like merchant families are starting to become wealthy, but they're not proper blue blood nobles.
They're like an in-between middle class aren't they?
Yeah, they're like they're not getting the respect that, you know, of a noble would they're looking down on them.
So Felix's dad tries to get them into like higher society by buying his way in, but they can't quite.
But that's for later.
Their family is a wealthy merchants and Otto is next in line for that since Felix went to become a poet and then a dwarf remember.
While he's dining with his brother, there's a man there named Fritz von Halstead who is the chief of an old secret police.
So a little a little bit of some shady stuff going on there.
And also the man who he saw in the sewers with the skaven,
which is a bit of a problem with the chief of the secret police is working for the skaven.
They discover that von Halstead has been working with the skaven to remove mutants from positions of power
because in von Halstead's eyes, mutants are a lot more insidious.
They lurk in society and corrupted and are evil and crap.
Whereas skaven are like, yeah, that's a skaven.
You know where it is.
It's pretty obviously evil.
It's a lesser evil because it's not trying to undermine us from within.
He says as he's working with the skaven to undermine them from within because he is blinders on the size of a horse.
Yeah, he's been working with that quote to do that.
Thankful is upset that he has to work with a low life such as one.
I'll say that I love skaven mental views of the world, but he thinks it would be worth it to succeed in destroying the city.
And speaking of enter, thankful, the crazy or the funniest rat.
He's been placed in charge of the invasion of known by the skaven council of 13, the high lords of the skaven.
They despite him being a goofy goober, he's also an incredibly powerful wizard that can pretty easily turn you into just dust.
Assuming he's allowed to do so openly because skaven politics are a bit of a nightmare, as you'll see shortly.
Pardon me.
The underlings he has are constantly jockeying with him to become the leader of the invasion so they can get all the credit.
But for now, he's in charge without question.
Back to gothic and Felix, they decide the bottom house that needs to go because he is pretty clearly out of his mind.
And all he's doing is priming known for a skaven invasion.
For Von Halstatt and thankful's part, they decide that the sewer jacks need to go, including gothic and Felix, because they're going to reveal there are skaven under known.
So that's got to be dealt with.
Thankful, pardon me, gothic and Felix decided to break into Von Halstatt's house to just get rid of them via a secret entrance in the sewers he'd been using to meet with the skaven.
Thankful coincidentally was also on a way to meet with the man for some reason brought his rat ogre bodyguard bone ripper with bone ripper one.
Bone ripper one.
Never forget.
A deep tragedy.
The bone ripper is always in my heart.
At any point.
So when he finds that the sewer jacks and gothic and Felix are there, he panics.
Has his bodyguard bone ripper to kill two of the sewer jacks. They were twins.
They get bone rippered.
They get their bones ripped out.
God, that description is horrific.
Yeah.
And gothic and Felix now break in and enter.
And thankful is always on his way.
He panics and when he realizes they're in, he rushes in with bone ripper one, then killing the final remaining sewer jack that wasn't gothic and Felix.
So now it's down to just the duo again.
Fun stuff.
Gothic waits outside to guard.
Well, in case anyone tries to intervene.
Well, Felix goes to confront von Halstatt.
And while von Halstatt being the chief of the secret police is quite the sword fighter, Felix manages to best them through some cunning, cunning sword maneuvers.
Thankful runs up with bone ripper when he hears the fighting.
He's like, Oh God, no, I can't let him die.
This is bad.
But that means he had the tremendous misfortune of running into melee range with gothic who cuts bone ripper in half with a single swing.
Oh, you just you just buy sex or that ogre who for reference are ogre in size, at least probably a little bit wider as well.
Yeah, they're they're like probably like three gothic stacked on top of each other.
Just cut it in half for people listening who don't like dabble in the fancy too much.
Just imagine a massively overgrown rat like, say, Remy from Ratatouille just basically get steroided the fuck up and then is just swollen and a bit disgusting.
And then it gets it's been pretty bone ripper slightly different because bone ripper has got got some extra bits attached.
Extra, extra fun. Remi from Ratatouille combined with Gusteau from Ratatouille.
It's like the size of Gusteau. Yeah.
But a rat.
What's the name of the guy who's in the hunchback of Notre Dame?
I can't remember his name.
Quasimodo?
Quasimodo plus Remy.
That but doubled in size and filled with nothing but rage.
But now it's two.
Now it's in half.
It's been I don't think I think he was cut down the middle too.
Biggie cheese. He is not biggie cheese.
He is biggie cheese.
That is bombastic.
Somebody's got to get an image of that. That'll be amazing.
And the the story ends with Gautier and Felix leaving and setting the house on fire before leaving.
So now in addition to inciting riots and a whole lot of murder, we can add domestic terrorism to their list of charges.
They are heroes of a different variety.
So yeah.
Don't worry bone ripper gets better.
Kinda.
He died but he got better.
There's more bone rippers to be had. Don't worry.
Don't worry.
It's a running theme.
The next story is gutter runners.
So Gottrick after this all happened, they report to the sewer watch captain about, hey, there's rats in the city.
The sewer watch captain does not believe them.
So Gottrick assaults the guy.
And they're now working as bouncers for Heinz, an old mercenary friend of Gottrick and the owner of the tavern they're staying at.
Pardon me.
Felix is once again being a ladies man and is now hooking up with a serving girl known as Elisa.
They've got a relationship now.
So you're up to two.
Incidences.
In the meantime, thankles one-sided rivalry with Gottrick and Felix has finally begun.
Now he's like they're out to get me.
They're out to get me.
They're not.
But he's also just been going through it since the last story.
The Skaven have this thing called a far squeaker, which is Skaven Skype.
Very funny name.
And he's forced to explain to a seer lord on the council why he's a how come Nolan is still around.
They accidentally far squeak to the Eldar in 40k.
Is that still a thing?
They did in the end times.
They far squeak to the Eldar.
It'll probably get retconned to be like the Lumineth or something with Age of Sigmar now.
But I think initially it was the Eldar.
The leader of the far squeak Enclave.
I want to see a conversion of that model.
Be a rat who's far squeaked when no rat has far squeaked before.
But initially when he's talking to the guy, it's like almost completely static.
So Thanquil being the brilliant smart rat he is just starts completely making stuff up about how Nolan,
there's been almost no setbacks.
It's going flawlessly.
The chief of police died who was my puppet.
Don't worry about that.
That was just a little hiccup.
Everything's going flawlessly.
And then they turn a knob.
And then it turns out the image on the seer lord's end was completely fine.
And he's been watching Thanquil BS his way and dig his own grave deeper and deeper this whole time.
So it switches to Thanquil being like, I, I, I, I for about like a minute when the seal Lord's like, all right, you're an idiot.
But whatever.
The plan has changed.
The invasion will begin in a few weeks instead.
And you're no longer in charge.
A skaven known as Vermex scab is now in charge.
You don't need to remember that name because he never actually shows up in the story.
The far squeaker then explodes because skaven tech does that sometimes.
But before it does, the seal Lord also informs him that his destiny is tied to the Slayer and Felix, which Thanquil is not a fan of.
But because everyone else ran out as the thing was exploding, but before they could hear the seal Lord go, yes, Thanquil is not in charge anymore.
Thanquil walks out, puts on his best rat poker face and goes, yes, I am now in charge still of the invasion of known.
Uh, it helps that the, uh, yep.
It helps that a skaven scribe gave him a note.
Uh, right after he gives him the note, Thanquil then kills him, uh, with the skaven practice of shooting the messenger.
Oh, because he wanted to, he felt humiliated.
So he took it out on a smaller rat.
I think it was brutal to like he's the rat got like flayed Adam by Adam, like a Necron Flayer.
Oh God.
And, uh, yeah, then there was no more messenger rat.
And, uh, he read the message that, uh, does anyone want to read another quote?
Oh, Eli, do you have skaven voice in you?
Please.
You don't have to do skaven voice, but you know, if you just want to, just want to.
Please. We beg you. We beg you.
You don't have. I'm not making you.
And skaven tragic news, Thanquil said, and even the mighty, the coughing stopped mighty warlord Vermex Calvis dead.
Killed in a terrible accident involving a loaded crossbow and an exploding dog.
We will have the traditional 10 heartbeats of silence to mark his return of his soul to the horned rats.
Immediately all the skaven began to talk among themselves.
Skaven politics. Thank you, Eli.
I love the contrast of going glorious.
And he goes, immediately all the skavens, he just shifted. That was perfect.
Glorious. People once appreciate that in the chat. That was glorious.
And, uh, and as he's explaining, like, yes, this guy is dead, so I'm in charge.
He phrases it in a way like, none of the skaven really believe him.
But he phrases it in a way that's like, well, if you don't believe me, just go ask the council of 13 yourself.
And, uh, they all kind of think about them and go, well, if we're wrong and he really is in charge, we're getting executed on the spot.
If not earlier somehow. So we're just going to go along with Thanquil's BS.
Uh, so skaven politics are great.
And he has decided his first new act as leader is to have a bunch of skaven gutter runners,
the finest troops of clan Eshin, uh, murder Gottrick and Felix, uh, led by an assassin named Chang Squick, whose name sounds faintly racist.
It's on the edge. It's not as bad as the White Scar's voice in the audiobooks for 40k.
No one has not heard that. It's a, it's, it's pretty much what you're thinking. It's very caricature.
And we will not get an impression here if they got actual Asian people to do the voice lines and not guys trying to do Asian accents.
Yeah, I'm just going to call him squint going forward and voice my white scars.
That'd be cool. That'd be fun.
But, uh, yeah, so this guy, uh, he's one of he's one of death master snitch disciples.
So he's he's pretty good at his job.
The job, the, uh, I have a hell you haven't read a quote yet. Would you like to read the next quote I have hit me with it. I'm ready.
This is a, this is Mr. Squicks training regiment.
Oh, God.
I don't know if I do skaven voice for that.
Uh, should I do skaven voice or not?
This is lore.
I'll just do a normal voice because it's a bit more normal stuff. While still a runt, he had been made to run barefooted through a bed of red hot coals and snatch coins from the bowls of blind beggars in human cities.
Even at an early age, he had learned that beggars were often far from blind and viciously proficient in the martial arts.
That's that's skaven training run on hot coals and snatch coins from homeless people.
I love skaven lore, bro.
It's so just like someone out there went, yeah, but can you take a shot before I write this?
The next paragraph and then they made the atomic bomb of Warhammer.
Wow.
Then they nuke the moon.
Oh, what is it?
It's like, is it the minions?
Isn't it the crouching tiger hidden Oppenheimer?
It's crazy.
Okay.
That's not what I thought that would be.
But these gutter runners, they're going to split into two groups, one to assassinate Gottrick and Felix each.
The first group's efforts, they go off without a hitch and they all sneak into Gottrick's room, only to then realize that they broke into Gottrick's room.
You're not trapped in here.
I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me.
Yeah, they die.
They die.
Sleepy time.
The second group is closer to a Looney Tunes skit than an assassination attempt.
I think one of them falls on top of Felix and Felix wakes up like, what?
With Elisa, however you say the name, also still in Felix's bed.
It's just a mess and her and Felix both run out, escape.
The short story ends with the assassins chasing Felix into the main tavern room, only to be killed by every one of the patrons of the bar because this is a seedy dive bar and everyone there is drunk in arms.
So the Skaven Assassins ends with a pile of bodies in Gottrick's room and a whole bunch of drunken angry people beating the hell out of the assassins.
The patrons are like, staff, staff, staff, staff, and we're like, we done? Yeah?
Yeah, that's my drink.
That's pretty much what it was.
Does Gottrick kill the main rat?
No, that guy, he actually escapes.
He ends up hiding for several weeks before Thankel eventually finds him and he wants to kill him, but he can't because he's afraid of Deathmaster Snitch, who's the ultimate ninja rat.
So he just settles for making him look bad and embarrassing him.
Which is the worst kind of punishment.
Yeah, because then the other Skaven are going to...
He sounds quite Skaveny.
Yep.
Next story is Night Raid in Skaven Slayer.
Thankel's underlings are getting pretty restless and want the glory for themselves, but he can't just outright kill any of them because they're all members of the great Skaven clans, his direct underlings, and killing them might piss off those clans.
And then he's going to get backstabbed by those clans and he doesn't want to deal with that.
So he just kind of has to sabotage their efforts.
The first to try and win it for himself is a member of clan Skryre named Heskett One Eye.
Thankel learns from his sidekick Lurk Snitchtongue, who's just a silly little guy.
That's a great name by the way.
Lurk Snitchtongue.
Heskett plans on breaking into Nuln's College of Engineering and to steal all the technological secrets the Empire has, which given that this is the capital of that kind of stuff, that's a lot of military secrets.
Thankel can't have Heskett succeeding because this would make him look bad.
Not that he doesn't think it would work.
It would make him look bad and he wouldn't get credit.
So he starts writing messages to Gottrick and Felix, warning them of what the Skaven are doing.
Oh my god, I love Skaven lore. It's so wild.
He has Lurk deliver it to Gottrick and Felix and then run away before they can realize what's happening.
And they read the message and it looks like a child wrote it.
He ends the message with, your friend, except it's like y-o-o-r-f-r-e-n-d. Your friend.
Your friend. Your friend.
With a smiley face. Your friend.
He also writes it where it's like, it's obviously a Skaven wrote this. He says,
Treacherous Heskett one-eye, pox is be upon them.
They don't say it word for word, but they look at each other like, this is a Skaven wrote this.
A Skaven has just given us this fucking letter.
Their lore is so good. It's literally the equivalent of, I felt cute, might betray another Skaven later.
Dang it.
But they go along with it because they're like, well, I mean, the rat's telling us where to go to kill other rats.
So, all right. I guess we'll go like Felix has misgivings about it, but he goes along with it and Gottrick is like,
I mean, I'll get to kill rats. So I really don't care that much.
So the plan for Heskett is they're going to break into the college on a night where most of the engineers are,
they're at a fancy ball thrown by the Elector Countess Emanuel.
And indeed, Gottrick and Felix, who themselves break into the college at night to stop them,
discover the Skaven breaking into the college at night to stop them.
Before they can stop Heskett, though, he climbs aboard the steam take Nuln has for like training and whatnot
and just starts firing at them.
Except you'd think that might be a problem for Gottrick and Felix.
But Skaven are an elegant at the best times and in the whole chaos that just kind of happens whenever Gottrick and Felix show up wherever
Heskett thinks his own men are trying to attack the steam tank when really they're just running away from Gottrick and Felix.
So he starts firing on his own Skaven. Gottrick and Felix are getting shot at. They're fighting Skaven.
Skaven are fighting Skaven. No one really knows what's happening.
Gottrick for his part is just kind of swimming through the ocean of rats and killing anything that's close.
Felix manages to reach the steam tank and climb aboard and they start fighting.
Except it's it's like it's a steam tank. It's not big. It's very cramped.
So between that, none of them know how to like pilot a steam tank.
And they're also trying to beat each other to death.
The tank goes wildly out of control and crashes into the sewers the Skaven arrived from.
Oh my god. So Felix and Heskett both like just get the hell out.
Oh, I should also mention there was only 12 steam tanks ever created.
So now one of them is the bottom of the sewer.
Gotrick and Felix and Heskett run out for the Empire. Yeah.
And then the steam tank explodes.
So now there are 11 steam tanks left of the Empire.
It could survive a battle with chaos, beastmen, orcs, but then Gotrick and Felix are the ones who take the job.
Yeah. And then and then I think the rest of the college is slowly catching on fire and guards are all running.
And then Gotrick and Felix just kind of just kind of leave.
They just kind of tip.
Like, all right, mission accomplished.
You see that thing we just go and they just walk off very, very slowly.
What's that? That's SpongeBob Co- We did it, Patrick. We saved the city.
I just imagine Gotrick just starts walking into one of those and Felix is like, yeah, that's the idea.
That's just, that's just cool.
Yeah. And yeah, that's that's Night Raid.
The next one is Plague Months of Pestilence. Now it's time for Clan Pestilence to get involved.
My boys, my beloved.
My Rothex.
Their champion is a guy named Vile Broth Null, which another banger name.
The names go so hard.
His followers are working on a very pestilent scheme, a plague that will wipe out everyone in Null.
It's already slowly been spreading, but their whole thing is like they're going to make like one grand ritual
and then it'll just it'll get everyone sick and they'll just kind of melt.
As it's going on, Thanqul once again gets word of this and sends another letter to Gotrick.
Would you have it on your wall, honestly, like, I put it on my fridge.
Thanqul.
And to make it worse, Felix and Eliza are sick.
His brother sends them to a doctor named Drexler.
And this is another like just world building moment where Felix and Eliza go to see Dr. Drexler.
And after like as he starts like treating them and diagnosing them, Felix is very shocked.
Like, where are the leeches? What do you mean you don't believe in the four humors? What's going on here?
Just to give you a stage of what the Empire is working with. Just, you know, neat little reference to, hey, look, modern medicine is being invented.
And he tells them, don't you worry, I learned in I learned in Arabic, which is you can probably guess what region of the world GW is referencing when they name that one.
Yeah, they like to be subtle sometimes.
Yeah, even in the foundation in our parallel with our world was the periodic table was the Islamic Golden Age where they just like we just invented the periodic table.
Oh, yeah. Nice one. It's like it's like it doubles as like, yeah, it's horribly uncreative.
But like Warhammer fantasy is like kind of parallel in a lot of ways.
Yeah. And it looks this is a through all the sciences come from my favorite one in is basically all the horrors, heresy books with a quote at the beginning is done by like it's like the Vilhams Shakespeare.
Yeah, yeah, thanks. Yeah, not subtle there like that was like misspelled or misremembered names or something. Yeah.
Very subtle GW. Yeah. Yeah. He just says, yeah, you guys just got a small cold settle down. And then there was the great tyrant Aldorf height.
What is this? Who could this be? I like the doctor. Yeah, the doctor is a cool guy. He and Felix then go towards the gardens of more like the cemetery of the God of the dead.
Drexler was like, hey, I think I can I think I can learn more about the source of this plague if I examine like, you know, those who died from it, because he's the only modern scientist and like medical doctor in all of the Empire.
He's like, I'm going to actually examine the people who died of this and maybe figure it out.
And they eventually conclude that somehow sickness is spreading from there.
Directly from like underneath the garden.
Turns out this vile broth has something called the cauldron of 1000 boxes.
Once again, names go so hard.
A clan pestilence artifact of great gross, disgusting, icky power. Gotcha can Felix once again doing a little bit of breaking and entering just a little a little bit break into the cemetery once again under the cover of darkness.
And while they do manage to stop the ritual from fully completing and kill quite a few plague monks know also Felix also nearly drowns the guy in his own cauldron.
It's it's tipped over like and that kind of spreads into the air and no teleports away with evil icky magic and plague still spreading like wildfire so not great.
But they stopped the grand ritual from going off so plague months of pestilence ends with a draw, I guess.
Everyone just goes home so well played. Yeah.
Yeah.
Next up next short story.
Second to last one is the beasts of Mulder that clan Mulder is now getting involved.
This their champion is named Isaac grottle Isaac.
Right. Well, I see a K so is that I guess is that grottle very fat Skaven and a representative of Mulder comes up with a plan to, you know, clearly the fighting and the big and the big you know, sneaky stuff isn't going so well.
He's just going to starve them out. Of course, he's a Skaven so he can't just like cut anyone off the supply lines.
He breeds a strain of rats that are basically always starving to death if they're not eating and plans to unleash them on Nolan's food supply via some barges he probably murdered someone and stole that reference of the black death essentially probably barges essentially.
Damn. I'm willing to bet that's what it is just for people who are listening for reference plan Mulder are the ones who basically experiment, and they are the crazy scientists Skaven and they don't make like, oh, it's like a crazy powerful potion is more like we sold to write over
this together and then we put like another rat on top and then we put the icing sugar on it like it's just a bit is is just we just wanted to see what happens. Pretty much.
Tom Warren Thank you for the $5 Sir.
Am I the only one who thought of gimme when God tricks smashed pot.
I'm always thinking about gimme.
I mean, I get it.
I'm like, I'm gonna work this time, work this time.
My pronouns are.
What is it.
Grudge.
No, it's basically what my pronouns are whatever because I'll never be him.
He and her because I'll never be him.
And then the dog.
Looks niche tongue.
The guy that he is learns about the Mulder plan through a drunken cousin who was talking about it, which is shocking to know that a skaven managed to get alcohol and get drunk without getting assassinated or has cousins.
Yeah, or Yeah, or that one of them cared enough about another skaven to remember the relatives.
And would you believe it.
Thankful since goth can Felix another message.
Mr. President, Mr.
Third message has reached.
Thank you.
Thankful.
On top of that, there's trouble in paradise.
Because Eliza's previous lover named Hans has shown up from the countryside.
And the city is getting worse and worse.
Eliza wants Felix to leave with her.
Felix doesn't want to leave yet.
He's with Hans.
And it's very sad.
And Felix says like a touching moment of sadness and regret.
He's like, Is this all worth it?
And then he looks under the floorboards where he hid his money and Eliza had taken it.
So then he's a little bit sad.
And then he said for different reasons.
Oh, man.
Anyway, got you.
Well, gotrick is angry as his default state of being Felix is now depressed and poor.
They go to intercept the barge carrying clan Mulder's latest projects.
And this one's actually pretty simple.
You know, they once again sneak to the docks deal with the skaven on board.
But one lucky one lucky underling escapes with a cage of the rats that he drops in the tunnels of the skaven by accident.
Which means that now known and the skaven now have to deal with the hungry rats.
I still think of a damn crossbow and exploding donkeys.
It's got to do with Danko.
I love skaven so much.
It's so good.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, skaven.
Exploding donkeys.
I don't know why, because you mentioned the the plan pestilence stuff, I came up with some possible names for some like skaveny.
Do you want to hear some skaven names?
I would love to.
All right.
So the first one is Grundel crust pox liquor.
We got three more if you want them.
Get him out of here.
Or two more.
The further on I haven't finished.
Puss grump snot gobbler.
And rot pickle fester tickle.
Can you write those down somewhere?
Can you send them somewhere?
I can send them to you.
I need to use that first one for like a skaven character I paid or something.
That's his name now.
Pops tickle.
Pops liquor.
Foul.
Just something you were just talking about.
My mind was like, let's come up with some weird and gross names.
It could be Nurgle.
Could be skaven.
Most likely skaven.
Oh, that is brilliant though.
Time for the battle of Null.
So the rats are the problem, right?
The rats are always the problem.
We get the battle of Null.
The skaven are dying from the plague because it's now spread to their ranks and is affecting them.
The rats are eating their food.
The same is happening to the people upstairs.
No one in Null is having a good time.
Thanquil advises a last ditch effort to take Null.
At the Elector Countess' palace, there's a masked ball being held because they're nobles and don't care that the poor people are suffering.
That's a peasant problem.
They're having a masquerade ball.
Thanquil sends a squick to infiltrate it alongside some gutter runners and place a teleportation device where he will then deep strike alongside some elite storm vermin to capture and kill the nobles in Null.
For the surface invasion, he deploys the three skaven leaders of the Great Clans near the Blind Pig Tavern, not because he thinks it will be the best place for them, but because he's hoping Gatron and Felix will just fucking kill them already.
Unfortunately, however, they have captured Lurk and are taking a message out of Thanquil's book.
They write Gatron and Felix their own letter, letting them know.
Before we get to that, can I just mention that Chin Big donated 65 SEK, saying, who would win in a fight, Teclis or Magnus? Alternatively, Thanquil or Magnus? I wouldn't bet on Magnus myself.
It depends on what time you're doing it, because if it's like God Teclis and Primarch Magnus, I don't think Magnus has got a chance, but if it's like Demon Primarch Magnus versus like Mortal Elf Teclis, he might just invert him from the inside out.
Thank you for the donation. Thank you for the donation. Thank you.
Thanquil sweeps either way though. He'd find a way. He'd accidentally summon like Mortarion out of the field.
Especially if he's accompanied by Grundlecrust poxlicker.
Oh, that's a starlock.
Grundlecrust poxlicker.
Oh, that's a skin cron.
Good stuff.
God, that's a former.
I should add that they perfectly emulate Thanquil's writing style, because Skaven writing in Rikespiel is about on the level of a three year old child.
They probably all have three, dude.
Honestly, yes, Skaven lived for like 13 years, so they might be like three.
While Lurk is delivering that letter though about where Thanquil is, he does deliver it, but he's finally like caught by Felix in the act of delivering the letter, and he starts running through like the streets of Nuln away from Felix and Gottrick.
While saying that the other way around feels wrong.
Felix and Ola.
The problem is, mistaking Lurk's panicked fleeing for the signal to start the invasion, the rest of the Skaven then begin the invasion of Nuln, because they thought him running away was the signal to go, go, go.
So now, Nuln is on fire.
You know, it's just like, the book just really captures why the Skaven are great, because on the one hand, you have this endless tide of rats pouring into the city, like buildings are on warp fire, rat ogres are ripping people apart.
And then on the other hand, this whole thing happened because someone ran away and they thought that was the cue to go.
And also half of the leadership is where it is because the other half of the leadership wants them dead.
Yeah, fun times.
Out of the, you know, around the drunken pig.
Gottrick and Felix, you know, now they know where Than Kul is, although they don't really know he's Than Kul, they just know he's the guy in charge.
They gather up like this massive militia of civilians and the mercenaries of the blind pig, and just start bull rushing towards like the Nuln like manner, like the mansion where everything is happening.
At one point, that rat assistant who escaped from the last story was either turned into a rat ogre as punishment for failing, or this is just another bone ripper.
I'm afraid I don't remember which one.
I like to think it's another bone ripper because then the count goes up.
Bone ripper too.
He lived as he died.
Horribly.
Either way that thing starts ripping through the civilian mob before Felix from like the back of a moving cart, there was a bomb down its throat while it's roaring.
And then it explodes.
Like that thing in Doom where you put the thing in its mouth and it pops.
Yeah.
Oh, the like, the ejected mob.
That, but a lot more like accidental than lucky.
Was Than Kul watching through its eyes the whole time?
No, I don't think you. I think that's later on with Lurk.
Bone Ripper too, electric boogie. Thank you, Tom Warren.
Also epic cool, epic cool, awesome goblin guy real.
God Teclis is overkill.
I mean, he's the god of magic by that point.
Good to see you there, buddy. We appreciate the constant support.
One of the Skaven, Null, vile broth Null, is he's brutally beaten down by the mob.
Like they just trample the guy.
It's hard to feel bad for him because he's a Skaven.
Well, Heskett One-Eye is killed when a building he lit on fire falls on top of him while he was admiring the beauty of the burning city of Null.
That sounds like an own goal to me.
It was a bit of an own zone, a self-own.
I'm sad though. He died as he lived, tragically.
Exploding. And then Isaac Grotles, he just dips, he's the only one to get away.
He's carried around by a pallyquin of rats, right?
I believe he is because he's so fat.
Oh man, the Skaven story is just so good.
I'm debating whether I should go pick up the rest of the entire collection at this point.
Yes, boy does that.
As for Squick though, who's back for his final edition, he goes to the palace where the ball is happening, the masquerade, and accidentally places the teleportation device in the latrine.
So that's fun.
He does get a little bit lucky, however, because he's discovered almost immediately.
But between the fact it's a costume party and everyone there is roaring drunk, they think he's just a dude in a Skaven costume.
No one believes Skaven are real. He's like, that's a good costume of that silly myth.
Nice job, bud.
Oh my god.
So that's how that goes.
Thanquil and the Stormverm do arrive, but because they teleport into the Shitter, they're delayed from reaching all the nobles,
which gives Gotch and Felix enough time to make it before everyone there dies.
Thanquil does arrive to the ballroom a little bit before them, and as the Stormverm and I'll take all the noblemen capture, he starts demanding the Elector count to show herself,
except no one understands him, because again, they're drunk and he doesn't speak human very well.
So he just starts murdering people at random with magic.
Bam.
Oh.
Good ol' Thanquil.
Sounds like something he would do.
I mean, it's what he does. Oh, he also kills Squick.
Aw, no.
He just wanted him dead.
Thank you, Thanquil.
Oh, and also, he's high on Warpstone dust this entire time.
I was about to say, he's pretty much an addict.
This is regular. He's been ripping lines this whole time.
Oh, yeah.
Countess Emanuel finally walks forward, just in time for Gotch and Felix to show up.
Thanquil turns to look at them, tries to obliterate them with magic, when it turns out, hey, Dr Drexler's a magician too, and shields them with his own magic.
And as Gotch and Felix are cutting down Stormverm, Thanquil wisely decides to make his retreat and runs back to the bathroom to teleport away.
He lived as he lived in the Shazam.
Yep.
And the story ends, the city of Nolum rebuilding, the plague finally ended, the rats all died out, and Gotrick has received a missive and tells Felix to pack his stuff immediately.
And when he asks why, Gotrick tells him that only, or Gotrick only says that a mighty doom awaits the pair.
And while I won't spoil much, because this will be for later, the next book is called Demon Slayer.
Ah, it's a good one.
Quick question.
And also Thanquil's in it again.
I have a quick question, because Nolum obviously in the Skaven, they're intentionally kept as a, they're not real, Skaven aren't real, that's the kind of joke.
How does Nolum cover that up afterwards, because obviously seemingly the entire...
Well, I believe Gotch and Felix go back to Nolum at a certain point.
And I think the cover story was, it's like 20 years later, so like a new generation has been born by that point, like has grown up.
So I think they just kind of describe it as like, it was a beastmen attack.
Ah, they call them, they call them like twisted beastmen, don't they?
Yeah, like that's like the line, like it's just some really messed up beastmen.
Damn.
Is that the, I guess that the thematic end of here, part one, in terms of...
I believe it's, after this, it becomes a bit more cohesive, because all the Gotch and Felix stories, like the Omnibus will have short stories in them.
But all the main stories from here on out are written as one novel, not either a bunch of different ones we threw together or a bunch of small stories that add up to a larger whole.
I'd say though, that was a... I'm in.
I'm so in.
Hell yeah.
If people have any questions in the chat, feel free to plug in a few last ones before we head off though.
Some closing comments is...
Damn.
The scape and stuff is so top tier, in terms of like the absolute buffoonery.
I wish they had like the equivalent of... I know Orcs are kind of play that role in a little bit in 40k, obviously, they're in fantasy as well.
I do wish there was like a faction equivalent that aligned much more with the scavenged vibe, because it brings... it reminds me of all the grimdark stuff in 40k.
Just a little bit of silliness, honestly, makes... even the independent and divine.
I don't know much about it, but from my perspective, it seems like the Orcs in fantasy are a bit less silly.
Is that correct?
They've still kind of got the colors thing, but it's a lot more limited.
Like blue war paint gives the Orcs physical protection, like that kind of thing.
But a lot more emphasis placed on them being like... obviously they've got the accent and the we loves the fighting and wah and shit.
But aside from that, they're a lot more kind of like Tolkien Orcs, where it's like, we just kind of... we just want to eat people.
We just want to kill people. They seem a bit more sinister in fantasy.
A little more terrifying in... Orcs can be terrifying in 40k, but I think they're a little bit more...
Ridgwell just reminding all of us like, yeah, they are still really hard.
Yeah, the Orc holding the person over the fire and laughing is pretty damn scary.
The Grimgore Ironhide trailer, I think, is like the best way to look at it, because you got the goblin going around like...
He's swatting at a fly, missing it the whole time before Grimgore just snatches it.
And then he's like, we gotta go get the dwarves, the Stumpties and the Boiny Boys.
And then Grimgore snaps his neck and then a million Orcs are all chanting, like screaming into the air for blood.
We do have a comment, by the way, from Ado Hine just saying,
At Lorecrimes, what's more dangerous, a Chaos Warrior with the blessing of the gods or a Skaven Slave Rat with a Glock?
I mean, Colin, 21st.
The Skaven is more dangerous, but mostly only to other Skavens.
Yeah, that's what you're gonna say.
Ooh, what's this?
If he's near somewhere he shouldn't be though, like if he's accidentally found himself at a...
I don't know, like the Gnolan Engineering College or a hoard of magical artifacts, everything in that room is going to blow up.
I mean, it's like the equivalent to, is a javelin flying towards you or is it a tornado in terms of one is completely reckless and...
I mean, the Skaven is most likely to end up taking itself out rather than actually being successful.
I would probably hold it the wrong way.
I do have a question.
I'm sure you've seen a Skaven picking up and going, huh, you're fighting over it.
I have a question for Colin though, which is, Skaven are, the Menjie are a bit weaker than Men.
What's the equivalent of, say we're fighting a Skaven, is it like two Skaven to one bloke sort of ratio?
It depends.
The average Skaven, you could probably take in like three of those things.
They're malnourished, they're not fed, except for each other, one of them passes out and they'll eat them.
But you do have the comparison of Darktide and Vermintide.
You hit them with a sword, either way, they fall over.
I think it's negligible, well, at least with that comparison.
I was like, oh, you've got a malnourished Skaven or a malnourished Hive citizen.
There's a lot of protein pace not going around, that's just saying.
I think the Skaven are all like inbred with Warpstone, so they've all got a little bit of crackhead in them.
And a ton of inbreeding.
And there's regular inbreeding.
We do have another donation from Tom Warren.
Thank you again, Tom, very generous tonight.
After hearing about the skill and discipline of the Skaven army, how do you all feel knowing that they will eventually conquer most of the world?
Well, I guess technically there's a plot line to that with End Times, but we don't.
Well deserved.
One of the most enjoyable parts of it is the Skaven uprising.
And it's kind of a go ahead and go home.
The Horned Rats children got what they deserve, rightful Skaven rulership of the world.
Too fair, they conquered the world and they blew up the moon.
So they did.
What do they throw? They threw the moon at the planet.
First they pulled it closer to the Earth.
And then Ikit Klaue wasn't about to be outdone, so he blew it up.
With the help of the Lizardmen, they were trying to blow up the moon or something.
No, the Lizardmen were trying to...
The Lizardmen had a big shield, I think, to not get blown up by the moon.
I think Lord Croak was doing crazy stuff.
Yeah, the blowing up the moon, that was all Skaven, maybe 110%.
We have some more questions here, which is, someone says, when's the Kyphus Kane Nurgle Demon iceberg?
That's a deep cut from way back in the day, isn't it?
That's an episode one or two.
I literally didn't know what you were talking about for a second.
Too fair, we could do a Kyphus Kane at some point.
I've got all these books on Audible, but I haven't started them yet, just because it's going to be a task.
There's a lot to go through.
I think Colin has definitely read all of them.
He's read all of them.
Between Gaunt and Kyphus, that's like 30 books.
Go on, I've got to read next, although I'm probably reading something else first, because I bought the wrong omnibus because I just kind of grabbed it at random.
I think it's like the third omnibus in the series.
Oh my god, someone says, at Lore Crimes, would you greenlight a version of Skaven Slayer where Fanko has a 500 S&W magnum?
Yes.
Oh no.
EpicCoolGoblinGuy says, when everyone's arguing about who won the end times, but you're a Skaven player.
Skaven won.
Relatable.
CrimsonGlory again.
Thank you, bro.
Thank you so much.
CrimsonGlory says, I will literally pay for Andy to do a Skaven version of Necronovember.
I want to see more from the 20th.
Alpha Legion, I take that, in 40k.
Thanks so much, everyone.
Thank you, CrimsonGlory.
24legions is getting slim pickings.
I've done most of their characters now.
There's not much left.
I have been tempted to do fantasy at some point, maybe a one-off month here and there of doing just characters.
But right now I've still got a lot of 40k.
I'm trying to get through the 40k buffet.
And once I've gotten like, oh, that's quite filling, I'll get to the desert of maybe some fantasy stuff at some point.
But we'll see.
I've had a few requests of someone on my thing saying, can you do a Fanko?
And again, that'll be a long video.
That'll be a long video.
You should do Sigwald.
Oh, god.
I'm trying to get demonetized, basically.
The channel deleter.
End time Sigwald's story is so sad.
He deserved it.
I think he deserved it.
Yeah, he deserved it.
Thraut's cool.
Yeah.
He did not need to piss on his corpse, but you know, it's fine.
I mean, he's...
It's called BM.
It's like Fortnite dancing.
Sigwald literally got Fortnite emoted on, dude.
As long as it's at Lorecrimes.
When are we getting an Eldar lore video?
Let Colin talk about the best faction.
There's already enough Eldar propaganda on this.
We did have a quiz recently, so there was that.
It will be another five months.
We can do a proper episode, to be fair.
We've done some stuff before, but we might want to cover it in the format live.
When do Eldar even get their codex?
Maybe when the codex comes out.
We'll try and time it.
Two weeks before 11th.
Sounds about right.
Too vague.
Now's a good time to wonder.
As of time of recording, there's a mystery codex on the roster.
Coming new faction?
Yeah, we don't quite know what it is yet.
If it's not Emperor's Children, I'm going to be so...
It might not be a new faction.
Space gaven, space gaven.
I wouldn't put it past UW to absolutely pull the rug out of us and just make a new faction that nobody wanted.
Again, again.
They still got to fix Votan, though.
I'm just playing Sixth Edition right now, anyways.
Do not say it again.
Listen, leagues of Votan could have just...
It could have been an ally thing.
An ally contingent of Imperial Guard and Space Marines.
Come on.
No, no.
Stop giving the Space Marines more talk.
I just want an administration faction where you have to buy a clipboard with your army and you have to pull it.
That's all I want.
Someone says justice for Bone Ripper.
It doesn't happen.
Even I haven't read all the books, but I know that doesn't happen.
Bone Ripper 5000 is just as good as the first one.
Space Danko with a steel chair.
Someone said I listen to Elf Slayer.
I actually, yeah, I've listened to that one actually.
There's a very cool...
No, I know some of you may disagree.
I'm not going to say...
There's a very cool high elf in it.
A certain someone shows up.
But we...
Oh, no, that's a different book.
To be fair, we will probably cover more of God Dragon Felix if you guys...
He made this far, to be fair.
I do like the stream.
There's a lot to cover.
Yeah, but we obviously...
If it's enjoyed, we will deliver.
And I think with that, though,
is there anything else anyone wants to add before we finish it there?
Yeah, I think that's it.
Thank you guys so much for the donations.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Again, Colin did a big showing here of lots of God Dragon Felix.
So thank you very much for that.
I'm happy you guys talk about God Dragon Felix today.
Yes, we get the opportunity.
Again, the return of the Old World as of time recording is kind of around the corner.
So if you guys want to see it again, it's the revival, hopefully.
Maybe.
It's going to be Space Marine 2.
Listen, when we're all 45, which is sooner for some of us,
we will hopefully have the Old World return.
What's going on over there?
That was so funny.
And yeah, hopefully.
So if you guys want to see more of it, just let us know.
And thank you so much for watching, for listening.
And we know you added more names to the disk.
There's more names.
So we end with more.
Should we end with the last reading?
I had a freeze.
Do you want to do you want to mention one each?
So like how Colin and Eli, you picked the last three.
Is it the last three on that list?
Yeah.
So the last three.
Mold, snort, ooze, gongler.
Yuck.
Scab drip clammy piss.
And Toeflake fungal pop.
So all the defog players, you can use any of them if you want.
They work as well for either.
Thank you so much for listening, people.
And we'll see you guys on the next one.
