00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. Welcome to Law Crimes today.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,600
I have to make a quick announcement that last episode of Iceberg Effects,

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,680
we did a question of the week bit and we read out your answers and forgot to give you a new one.

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,880
So, yeah, that was a bit of a bit of an oops, bit of an oops, because, you know,

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,240
we never make mistakes. We're always doing it. This is perfectly professionally run podcast.

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,080
However, with that in mind, we're going to give you a question of the week right now so you can

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,800
prepare it in the comments for the next episode with because we're talking about a particular

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,720
dynamic duo today, we want you guys to use hashtag buddies. Who in the Warhammer,

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,160
either fantasy or 40k setting would you have as a best buddy to go on adventures with?

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,880
If I was to pick one, I'd pick Cypher just because we could teleport around and be sneaky

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:02,400
and a bit silly. So, yes, well, I was going to say Bill Clinton for some reason, but he's not in

12
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Warhammer. So, yeah, Kissinger. Oh, yeah. That's going to time this podcast. Which is dead. Yeah,

13
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,280
literally in minutes Colin put it in the in our Discord chat, just like, look,

14
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,960
how look what happened with I was going on. But either way, Kissinger aside. So today,

15
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:27,840
without further ado, may I pass it over to Eli? What are we talking about today, Eli?

16
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,520
Eli, you're muted.

17
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Sorry, sorry, we're talking about Godric and Felix today. The best dynamic duo to ever exist

18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,880
in all of Warhammer, perhaps fiction, basically Legolas and Gimli, if a little more goofy.

19
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,200
So, if Legolas was a whipping bitch.

20
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,760
And he had more than three lines. Yeah, and the sprinkling of maybe Pippin inside there,

21
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:10,080
just a little bit. We have Godric, who is a dwarf slayer. Dwarf slayers are dwarves who have shamed

22
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,680
themselves in some way or like are trying to atone for sin. So they go take the slayers oath,

23
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,960
and they try to seek a glorious death in battle. Felix is basically human bard who

24
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,560
went through a training accident and killed a guy in a duel. And so he got kicked out of the college

25
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,720
he was in. And is a one they both wanted men are man and dwarf at this point, they participated in

26
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,960
some window tax riots and killed some rights. I hate windows. So annoying windows never forgiven

27
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,400
windows since we do a little we do a little bit of inciting civil unrest. That's the first time.

28
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,640
That's why I've covered my windows so as not to offend how that's what is that drawn

29
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,440
ravenous windows. Thank you for the 15 squigglies. Before you start, I gotta ask you talking about the

30
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,040
AOS Godric books as well. I know today we are actually only covering troll slayer and

31
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,960
skaven slayer. Also one day though, one day we will get there. We promise. Before the stream even

32
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,840
started, we got a donation from grimdark half off who also runs a great Warhammer channel

33
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,840
for $10 and said, love you guys. I've listened to all the Godric and Felix novels. They are a great

34
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,640
time. I'd love to see pancreas and others do a Warhammer fantasy elves versus Elder Scrolls

35
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,320
elves episode Sunday. Maybe we will. Oh dude, I'm gonna I'm gonna get fucking racist on that one.

36
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,640
Who's gonna argue for the elf in Skyrim though? Elder Scrolls elves.

37
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,160
Well, the superior race clearly. Hashtag Thalmor embassy man over here with his

38
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:51,280
get-pillinal in here. I love you, Pillinal. I'd die for you. Has anyone like when they were entering

39
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,320
the Thalmor embassy ever like screwed it up like royally the first time? Like I didn't understand

40
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,960
what I was doing. To be honest, I was watching the spiffing Brits yesterday and there's like a thing

41
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,920
I saw I didn't realize you can get like a wooden plate and use it to like shift through into the

42
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,720
embassy before. Oh yeah, through walls. Good old Skyrim. Good old Skyrim glitch.

43
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:22,160
Anywho, if memory serves me correctly, Godric saved, did Godric save Felix's life or did Felix

44
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,960
save Godric's life? Godric saved Felix from a charge of the Reichsgarde. Yes, okay and then Felix

45
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,320
swore an oath to Godric that he'd follow him around and write poems and stories about him

46
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,560
and document his final doom in an epic tale of story. Unfortunately for Felix, who thought this

47
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,640
was just going to be like maybe a year-long thing, Godric just doesn't die ever and so he's kind of

48
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,880
pledged eternal service at this point. He lived past an entire setting so he's never unemployed.

49
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,640
It's your classic tall friend and short friend gym duo. You have left out both Bardon and Snorri.

50
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:09,360
And you put Alpharius on the list. In favor of Alpharius. Oh my god, I think that's...

51
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,720
All right, fair enough. That worked. Never mind. It's actually really funny then.

52
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Oh my god. So yeah, they pretty much go around with the most insane, I don't know, plot armor

53
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,760
you could ever conceive. They're undefeatable combatants and there's a great time. It's not

54
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,120
that Godric isn't trying to die. He's given it his all every single story. And every story,

55
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,040
half of it's him killing stuff and the other half is him depressed because he's not dead yet.

56
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,920
But not like Dante. Like, angrier than Dante. Yeah, it's an angry depression.

57
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Yeah. It's also too fair, you don't even have to necessarily know too much about the Warhammer

58
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,280
old world, excuse me, unfortunately, end times, to kind of get into the Godric and Felix books.

59
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,400
They're a good time. It's like his own isolated thing. You don't have to have crazy Warhammer

60
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,800
knowledge. In fact, it's probably the best way to learn about Warhammer fantasy. If anything,

61
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,320
they're like the best primer to the setting because they go around. If they don't go there,

62
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,560
it's at least like a character from somewhere is probably featuring so you can learn about the

63
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,320
world through that. Yeah. They do have that, I want to say that a similar thing would be like

64
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,800
that Mandalorian energy where it's like they're not going to change the future of the well,

65
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,840
they're obviously important, but like they can just go on little adventures and that's fine.

66
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:37,840
It's like it doesn't have to be the big laser beam in the sky event. Yeah,

67
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,560
it's like, no, we're just killing an orc today. Cool. Not till later on yet. Later on,

68
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,120
they start getting like more and more important, but like the first half of all the stories there.

69
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,120
And it's like, they could not do this. And honestly, the world could not change that.

70
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Yeah. Are you telling me though that in the fourth book, when they sent that ship at light

71
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,080
speed into the other fleet in episode eight, that you didn't enjoy that moment?

72
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,160
I wouldn't enjoy that. It was cool visually and awful in every other way.

73
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
But what about not a Death Star, but a Death World episode seven, boys,

74
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
you telling me you don't enjoy a Death Star planet?

75
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,680
I love episode four, but like copy and pasted, so it's tracked up.

76
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,360
All right, Peter. How many people here came from Star Wars into

77
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Warhammer? Because again, it was dying, unfortunately. I think with that being said,

78
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Colin, are you ready to guide us on our journey for like the best duo, perhaps in all of Warhammer?

79
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:46,800
I am happy to do so. I will say I'll preface again. We were original plan was we do like

80
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,600
one omnibus at a time, and then the notes kept going and going and going.

81
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,960
And for reference, I have about like I try and go for like six or seven like notes when I'm doing

82
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:04,960
the expert section. I'm at 10 and I only did Skaven Slayer and Troll Slayer. So in the interest of

83
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,240
not having a 50 hour long podcast episode. Bear in mind, there's like a billion books as well.

84
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,360
We're going to have to crack into it. So yeah, we're going to do Troll Slayer and

85
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,080
Skaven Slayer and go from there. I do believe one comment from Josh here

86
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,560
says could Gotrek have single handedly stopped Archeon and the end crimes?

87
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
If he was there, probably. Greatest wish.

88
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Never has a wish been more needed than any of it.

89
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Is there ever an explanation on why he is so powerful? Or is he just, he's just awesome?

90
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,760
There is.

91
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,040
Okay, don't spoil it.

92
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,160
We can't go into that yet.

93
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,600
I think that's a bit early.

94
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,720
That's spoiler for like last, last Gotrek and Felix book.

95
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,220
Okay.

96
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,320
But we'll begin with the old world boys. If people who are watching are not as familiar

97
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,800
with the Warhammer fantasy, honestly, well, first of all, watch Colin's channel,

98
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,800
because he's got lots of stuff on it. You probably already know his channel anyway.

99
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:07,120
But it's honest, which genuinely is a fantastic universe. Oh, we've got a donation from a crazy

100
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Scotsman. How badly would Gotrek body the Primarchs? Not all at once. He could wipe Lorgar.

101
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,960
You know that scene where Yoda fights Count Dooku in episode three. He's just jumping around.

102
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,960
He'd be like that.

103
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,920
At this point in the story, he could, you know, he could probably give some of the weaker ones

104
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:36,080
a good fight, but I don't think he'd win. By age of Sigmar, you know, spoiler, minor spoiler alert.

105
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,640
I think if he was in 40k, he'd walk into the room of the vengeful spirit, and then he would walk out.

106
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,680
And then by the time Singutius would get there, all he'd see is a short redheaded man complaining

107
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,680
about how even how human demigods are shit.

108
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:56,480
Before we start, we got a comment from Harriet Ballentine says that it's nice that Eli,

109
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,000
Hal and Colin and Andy match up perfectly to Gotrek, Felix, Snorri and Ulrica. Who's Ulrica?

110
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Is Andy Ulrica?

111
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Who's Ulrica?

112
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Who's Ulrica?

113
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Ulrica Johnson? What?

114
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I know.

115
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Yeah, they got the, list us, list us all we need to know.

116
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Yeah, we need to have them. Otherwise, we're just gonna squabble about who, because I know the

117
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
characters, but I don't know them that well, Eva. So I'm gonna have to get them.

118
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,600
Because I know the characters, but I don't know them that well, Eva. So I'll just be like, oh,

119
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,600
I'm fine with Ulrica.

120
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:38,000
With that being said, though, we should probably tease it too much. Let's get down into the juicy lore.

121
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,760
Alright, let's do it. Troll Slayer is the first story in Gotrek and Felix. And the first two

122
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,640
stories, Troll Slayer especially, are not written as one long narrative, which I did not know until

123
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,280
I was going back through like plot synopsis and looking up the books just for, you know,

124
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,000
refresh the memory. Turns out, they, yeah, the first two were just kind of written like

125
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,160
one-off stories that were then combined into Troll Slayer. And Skaven Slayer was, is a bit more

126
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,120
cohesive. It's like stories that all lead to a greater whole, but they're all also like

127
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,200
self-contained things. I did not know that till I started doing this. So the first story in Troll

128
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Slayer is Gehemesnacht. There's going to be a lot of German names in this. The Empire of Man is very

129
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,080
German, and that's where most of their stories take place. So just get ready for that.

130
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,520
This one takes place shortly after they leave Altdorf, after Felix is nearly killed by

131
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,720
the Reichsgarde, and then they swear the drunken oath. And now Felix is Gotrek's rememberer.

132
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Not quite as, doesn't quite flow off the tongue like Remembrancer, I have to say, but it works.

133
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,760
They're traveling together on a coach. Thank you for the dabbing.

134
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760
We do have a donation here. Deretha, Eli?

135
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,600
Elliot Hopps says, who will win the fight? Tyrion with the Sword of King or Johnny Cage,

136
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,560
while international love is bland. And then Crimson Glory.

137
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,800
Oh, Crimson Glory again.

138
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,960
Crimson Glory says, here's a tenner and some change. That's a lot of change, bro. Thank you.

139
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Let the egg meme die and bring upon the new era, Bok. I love y'all and happy holidays. Also,

140
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,800
hope you check out Shadow of Intent Colin. So for the first question, Johnny Cage is undefeatable.

141
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,720
When international love is playing, he's fucking unbeatable.

142
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,680
Thank you, Crimson. I was not here for the Bok meme, I'm not going to lie.

143
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,920
I don't even know what Bok means.

144
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,720
Elisabeth say when they're fighting, that's it.

145
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,040
We could just get some steamed Bok choy and just gnaw on that for a few minutes.

146
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,520
You can't see my tongue.

147
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Bok in the chat.

148
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:57,040
But Gehemnishnakt, man, saying that is already throwing me for a loop.

149
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Thank you, Hal. This is like I said, surely have to leave Altdorf. They're traveling together on a

150
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,880
coach or they're then kicked out of the coach because Gottrick is bad mouthing the coach,

151
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:14,240
driver and his wife. Gottrick, as you will learn both throughout this and as you read the books,

152
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:22,720
is a very unpleasant dwarf to be around. He's rude. He's an asshole. He likes starting fights,

153
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,600
whether he's drunk or not, not even like to fulfill the Slayer oath. He just likes fighting.

154
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,840
He just likes beating people's heads in. So they're kicked out. In the meantime,

155
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,560
a second coach nearly runs them down, a black coach this time, and Gottrick having nothing

156
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,920
better to do since his old purpose now is to seek death vows. They're going to go beat that guy up.

157
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,080
They're going to go kill him realistically. Gottrick doesn't, rarely leaves people unconscious.

158
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,200
There's also a great quote where Felix says, how will we go to an inn instead?

159
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:03,360
I didn't want to read this bad boy out. Oh, this is one of my favorite quotes. I'll just throw it in

160
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,560
the discord for, oh no, I can throw it in the, I forget there's a side chat here.

161
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Another donation. I don't know what that is. ISK300. Thank you, sir. Who gets more wenches?

162
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:23,520
Felix or Kivus Kane? I think that's a tough question. Felix is a womanizer.

163
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Felix, Felix, I'm going to go Felix.

164
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,760
Do you want to, for the quote here, do you, should we have Andy be Felix and Eli be thematic Gottrick

165
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,720
in the side chat here? Quick question before we go on. Eli, in your opinion, who gets more wenches?

166
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:48,240
Felix or Fulgrim? Oh, it's, you can't ask him that.

167
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,920
Got him. Fulgrim don't be, Fulgrim ain't about

168
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,400
that. We know he got married once. I don't think, yeah, I don't know if Fulgrim even has anything

169
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,320
down there. I don't know if they ever really confirmed it. Is it confirmed that Porymops are

170
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,320
smoothbond? I mean, they have to use the bathroom. Do they?

171
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Yes, they have to use the bed at some point. They eat food. Yeah, but their bodies are so

172
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,760
perfectly made that they don't have to excrete anything. That's not how that works.

173
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,600
They can take the urea from protein and use it for their bodies. You see something out of no

174
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:28,960
world. Fulgrim loves nothing better than his own image, so he could never love a woman.

175
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200
He could never. He samples his own secret sauce. Anyway, so.

176
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Eli's got to be Andy as Felix. Okay.

177
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Okay. So do you want to go for it? You're weakling manly and a coward too.

178
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,720
They'll have ale. Why, sometimes your suggestions have

179
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,920
merit. Yeah.

180
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:53,680
That is their relationship early on. Felix doesn't suggest things to Gottrick so much as he

181
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,240
tries to course correct the hurricane of violence that is Gottrick, especially because at this

182
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,800
point, Felix isn't where he is towards the end of the series, where he's also a murder machine.

183
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:10,400
He just doesn't think he is because he has to compare himself to Gottrick. Felix is still

184
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,880
fresh out of college at this point. The college he was expelled from, by the way.

185
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,840
He's on a really, really dangerous gap here. Yeah. He took up dueling in college and he did

186
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,640
actually accidentally kill someone, which I believe is why he got expelled. So he's not horrible,

187
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:34,800
but he hasn't seen what the Warhammer worlds have to offer yet. So he tries to steer clear of it.

188
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,920
Another from Crimson Glories, putting our children through university.

189
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,080
Fulgur doesn't get wenches. He takes them because he's a monster. Unfortunately,

190
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,960
that's pretty thematic currently. Yeah.

191
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,000
Probably can't say what he's intending on YouTube, but we'll leave it up to the imagination.

192
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,720
We'll leave it there, shall we say. We'll leave it there.

193
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,680
We'll leave it there. And upon reaching the inn, where Felix Maritful's suggestion was,

194
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,360
they find that the innkeeper and his wife, they're missing. And that a coven operating what is known

195
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:12,000
as the Darkstone Ring, so evil stonehenge, if you want to visual for that, probably took them.

196
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,640
So they figure, Gottrick figures, that's as good a way to pass the time as any.

197
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,360
So they go to find the coven and they find it without too much difficulty. This is a

198
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:25,520
fairly short story and discover that it's a secret cult dedicated to Slaanesh.

199
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:33,200
And the driver of that black coach is also a part of it. And additionally, the husband and the

200
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:39,680
innkeeper and his wife were also part of the coven of Slaanesh. This ends, as all Gottrick

201
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:46,880
and Felix stories will from here on out, Gottrick wanders in, starts just brutally murdering people.

202
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,320
Felix actually gets a couple of kills, but this is like his first time in active combat. So he's

203
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,880
pretty shaken up and then he looks over to his right and oh, Gottrick has left a mountain of

204
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,720
corpses. That's lovely. He's just wringing blood out of his mohawk. Yeah, pretty much.

205
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,120
Usually they dye their mohawks to keep them orange. I don't think Gottrick needs to do that.

206
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:13,120
His is just stained over use. Yeah. And they also find out that, oh, good, the cult of Slaanesh is

207
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:19,600
about to sacrifice a baby. Thankfully, they interrupted that. Since however, the innkeeper

208
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,640
and his wife are dead, they don't really have anything to do now because the tavern is not

209
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,480
providing them with ale, which means Gottrick no longer cares about this place. The fighting is

210
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,160
done. There's no beer to be had. It's time to move on. So they rescued the baby. They bring it back

211
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,160
to the town. And that's the first Gottrick and Felix story. It's not too long. It's short and

212
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,440
sweet, this one, but still a nice introduction to it. Like we were saying, it gives you like a bit of

213
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,640
what life is like in Warhammer fantasy, some of the dangers and whatnot. Also a fun fact about it,

214
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,440
this was supposed to be the only Gottrick and Felix story. When William King wrote it, he

215
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,480
originally planned for Gottrick to die. And then it wasn't even GW told to keep him around. He was

216
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,840
just like, you know, I like these characters too much. I'm not going to kill them. And what's the

217
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:15,440
first one called? The first story like collection is Troll Slayer. This one is Geheimnisnacht.

218
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,680
And how, and you say it's short and sweet. How short is it?

219
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:25,840
I 20, 30 pages. Oh, okay. Fair enough. Yeah, not long. Like I was saying, the first anthology is a

220
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,040
not super long individual stories. It's just, there's a lot of them. So covering it means I

221
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,640
need to talk about most of the story. Cause if I try and skip important bits or like skip bits,

222
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,920
it's all important because it's like a 30 page novella. If I'm correct, isn't Geheimnisnacht,

223
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,600
is that the event where the moon is reflects warpstones? It turns like green in the night.

224
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,640
It's one of the days more sleep, I believe overtakes monthly. So it's an ominous night for

225
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:02,480
all kinds of chaos shenanigans. Chaos cultists rise up. And as a general thing, since they're

226
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,000
the undead and necromancy is a thing, skeletons and zombies pop up everywhere. It's not pleasant.

227
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,640
Happy Halloween. Fair enough. Yeah, after that GW was like, damn, we like these characters too.

228
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Why don't you write us some more? And then 17 books happened. Whoops. Then he wrapped his

229
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,600
hands and went, Oh, this is going to be good. I'm going to get lots of royalties. Not all by

230
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,040
William King, we should say. But, okay, he started, he wrote a lot of these and he got the,

231
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,200
the journey going. Where's the- I imagine he's still getting a decent few royalties.

232
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,360
Hopefully. Where's the, where's the next stop in the road then for the two boys?

233
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,800
The next one is Wolf Riders. So this one begins with Felix adding to the wench count,

234
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,800
as it were. He's defending a woman from three rather gruff looking trappers. They all have names,

235
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,320
but to be quite honest with you, they're side characters in a story about Gottrick and Felix.

236
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,280
I'm not giving them their names. They are trappers one, two, and three. Heavy side character energy.

237
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:13,200
They are the epitome of side character energy. When I say he was defending them, I mean, he

238
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,040
took some punches to the face and didn't pass out until Gottrick shows up and throws them all out.

239
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,960
Somehow he doesn't kill them. Not quite sure even to this day why he didn't just do that.

240
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,200
But now they can probably introduce ourselves between Felix and the woman whose name is Kirsten.

241
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:37,200
She explains her last name is Von Diehl and her family is migrating to the borderlands,

242
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,600
roughly like southeast of the empire, because they're just a little bit too cursed for polite

243
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:50,880
imperial society. Oh. They're not just, it's, it's just a little bit of a social faux pas having a

244
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:58,240
cursed bloodline. Not quite one that around. Fair enough. Gottrick and Felix are headed that

245
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:04,800
direction anyway, since they're going to the borderlands as well. So they join up with the

246
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:10,400
group and Felix and Kirsten fall madly in love. This is Felix's first love interest.

247
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,120
Judging by the way you say first, you can probably guess how this story ends. Of several.

248
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:24,640
Of several. Poor Felix. This one is actually pretty damn sad though. It's to a point where

249
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Felix is like, he's like, I'm going to tell Gottrick, you know what, I was very drunk,

250
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,760
this whole oath thing, not my thing, I'm going to go retire with Kirsten and live happily ever after.

251
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Which is, probably would have led to Gottrick cutting his head off at this point of the story.

252
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,480
He's breaking eight oaths to a dwarf, which is a big no-no, and that dwarf is Gottrick.

253
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,480
So at this point in the story, Felix left, he probably would have died then and there.

254
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,880
Thankfully, however, thankfully, for a matter of speaking, they're camping out in a region known

255
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:06,160
as the Cursed Hills on the way to the borderlands. Lovely. And naturally for the Cursed Hills,

256
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Undead attack the caravan. They, you know, they hold them off reasonably well. Felix kills Trapper

257
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,320
number three because he went a little bit insane when that happened. This is why I gave them names,

258
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,560
their purpose is to cause slight drama for everyone. Now one of them has just turned into a nice little

259
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:29,920
hat and that's all there is left. Now one of them is now past tense. And in order to find safety

260
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,240
until they can like, you know, regroup and set out, they make, they go off to make camp in a ruined

261
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,240
fort. And this is the first time we get a hint at what Gottrick's life is like prior to becoming

262
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,880
a slayer, because he starts fixing up the fort real well. And you learn he was a dwarf engineer

263
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:49,040
before he took the oath to have to get himself killed in battle. He's got some handyman skills.

264
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:55,120
The whole time he's complaining that this is human shoddily made crap fort, but that's every dwarf

265
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,200
having to interact with the human in this setting. So thinking of Ron Sponson from Parks and Recs.

266
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,960
Now just him going with the shopping trolley to say, Hey, can I help you with anything? I know

267
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,960
more than you. And he just walks off. That's basically what what was going down. We do have

268
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:15,840
a donation from Lelouch Riu. He says, always a great way to start my Saturday morning. Love the

269
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:22,080
live streams and love y'all. Keep up the good work. Bok, thank you very much. Love you too, Bok.

270
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,880
We should get a symbol going for it like that. No, that's that's what can't do.

271
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Get a hand sign going. Yeah. Just just as they're, you know, they're at the fort,

272
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,000
they're getting ready though. Wolf Riders attack, which are goblins riding wolves,

273
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,840
very, very self explanatory name. A whole ton of people are injured this time around because

274
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,040
they're still kind of coming to grips like fortifying and getting ready, including Kirsten

275
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:55,840
and the leader of the Von Deals who are sent back to a sorcerer who's their like medical

276
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:03,600
aid, a sorceress. And she goes, she's like, Yes, I will take care of them. So Felix and the rest of

277
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,160
the people who aren't injured are getting ready to defend the fort from the siege of goblins all

278
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:14,000
around them. And after about a day of absolutely no word on how everyone's recovering, Felix goes,

279
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,560
maybe, maybe I should check on them. And it turns out he goes to do that. And all of the Von Deals

280
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,840
are dead, including Kirsten, the sorceress they had healing them is dead, except for the nephew

281
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,040
of the leader of the Von Deals. And you don't want to get this is a complete coincidence. But

282
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:39,600
does anyone want to guess what the name of the nephew is? Heinrich? No, you're on the right track.

283
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:46,800
Yeah, it's his name is Manfred. Hey, nice. It's completely unrelated to Manfred von Karstein. But

284
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:52,400
we have a second Manfred had struck Warhammer. Oh, and by the way, we got a donation from bunny

285
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,520
cop for $10 saying got to go Felix old grim dark fans screw you, we will have airships and screw

286
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,000
ball comedy. And for some reason, they got money. They got money thrown at it for 17 books. Yeah,

287
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:10,480
that's right. Pretty much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Manfred killed them all. Because their

288
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,400
curse was mutation that when their grandfather was cursed by a heretic. And he decided that if

289
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,680
there's no more Von Deals, there can't be a curse on the Von Deals anymore. So he just killed them

290
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:28,640
all. Well, sound logic. Thinking outside the box. That's one way of solving the issue. He's not

291
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,880
he's not technically wrong. But maybe you could have found a better way. So I just put point out

292
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:41,040
someone put balkan stone in the balkan stone. That might have been my fault. I started that.

293
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:49,680
There's no no egg today. I'm sorry, no, I'm literally out of eggs is not an egg in my fridge.

294
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:59,360
No egg. Manfred and Felix duel. Felix kills him and is utterly depressed because the love of his

295
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:06,080
life has died in his arms. Kirsten wasn't quite dead yet. I flubbed a bit. He watched her die.

296
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:13,680
At least a Manfred did die in the setting. So that's a big win. One Manfred did finally die.

297
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:20,320
Thank thank the Lord. He was past tense, which is my favorite term, by the way, was past tense.

298
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:28,480
And Felix walks outside to see a very predictable site of Gottrick standing top a pile of corpses,

299
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,880
many goblins, many humans, a goblin shaman that was there, and trappers one and two.

300
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,880
So that that's finally come around. Thank you trappers one and two.

301
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,400
You died. Thank you for coming. I will now forget about you. You have done a little time.

302
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,000
I'll get out of the script. We don't need to. Pretty much.

303
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:53,200
Gottrick has lost his eye in the process. So if you're wondering why he always has an eye patch,

304
00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:02,240
he lost it here. He seems remarkably unbothered by it. And as the surviving humans reformed

305
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,680
caravan and get going to the border princes, Gottrick and Felix head off for the next step

306
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:14,000
on their journey. So that is the end of Wolf Riders. The next one is called the Dark Beneath

307
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:23,920
the World. And the threat level takes a bit of a leap. So just you know, for reference, they've

308
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:30,160
killed some goblins. They've killed the slanish cult that was completely unimportant. Like it was

309
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,280
just cultists. No demons were involved. So bottom of the barrel cultists, some goblins, which are

310
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,360
only slightly above that. The next logical step is of course, Carrick Eight Peaks. Oh, for those

311
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,040
of you who aren't familiar, Stalingrad, but there's rats, goblins and magic. Oh, great.

312
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,360
It's huge as well, isn't it? It's absolutely enormous. It's like an entire mountain range

313
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:59,520
city with eight peaks being the main focal point. That is a dwarven ruin. It used to be one of the

314
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:05,360
greatest cities they had. Now it's constantly filled with dwarfs, orcs, greenskins, goblins,

315
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,720
all killing each other throughout the whole thing. It is short of walking into the realm of chaos,

316
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,560
the most dangerous place you can be in the Warhammer world. Right. I think in Total War,

317
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:22,160
Belogar Ironhammer is the dwarf who his campaign seeks to reconquer eight peaks and his clan used

318
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:28,240
to rule, I believe, right? Yeah, they used to rule it way back, way back in the day. But Grudge has

319
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,760
never forgotten. Grudge has never end. That's right. A dwarf never forgets and also never forgives.

320
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,440
Just complains. But yeah, so that's where they're going because they think there's going to be great

321
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,320
treasure there and probably a good death for Gajag, which I can't fault him on that last one.

322
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,120
On the way there, they come across a band of men under attack by orcs,

323
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:56,000
most of whom die, the men, three of them live. But the orcs are also pretty quickly dealt with

324
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000
because they're unnamed enemies in the first few pages of a Gottrick and Felix book.

325
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,720
They are not long for the world. The three survivors from the party they kind of rescued

326
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,760
is one Aldrich Kepler, a knight of the Templars of the Fury Heart, which is just

327
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,200
the Empire of Man also has knights. They're kind of fault in irrelevancy as time goes on,

328
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:27,520
but they're there. Johann Zalberlich, a sorcerer who has a very fun name to say and

329
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,880
Jules Gascoyne, a Bretonian scout and therefore garbage human being.

330
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,520
The hills sound like footballers. Like if everyone here is watching football in the UK,

331
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:48,560
the space is ridden off any Manchester City team. Shout out to Man City. And they have

332
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:53,760
by Colin Ely I have no idea what I'm talking about. I barely know what you're talking about.

333
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,840
That's a proper law crime. Soccer is undoubtedly a sport. It's not called soccer. It's really not.

334
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,800
I don't have any skin in the game. I'm like, yeah, let's call it soccer. Why would you call it

335
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,000
soccer? It's football because they actually kick with their foot. Because there's a lot of

336
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,760
soccer's who watch it. They run. They hold it in their hands and run with it. It's football.

337
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,040
It starts with a kickoff. So there you go. Which one more deserves to be football?

338
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:29,040
The American one. Clearly. You would say you would say. We can't argue about breakfast now as well.

339
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Listen to the game. So I keep going. We were talking about the Bretonian. It got me fired up.

340
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Oh, you don't. You don't want to keep going about football.

341
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:42,560
So I said, wait, someone said our Man City good footballers, they're number one basically for

342
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:49,200
the last few years. So hell yeah. Good for them. Football. Thank you.

343
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Anyway, not football related. Is it called the Super Bowl because they make pottery at some point?

344
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:06,640
I don't know why it's called the Super Bowl. It's pronounced Super Bowl. There's a whole sub

345
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,920
owl pictures and it's called Super Bowl. It's great.

346
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,560
It's just like the Dark Angel subreddit. Don't look that up.

347
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,920
Thank you, Harry. By the time Rugby is better.

348
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Definitely. The Bretonian, Johan has.

349
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,880
Right. Those three gentlemen are also on a way to Caricate Peaks on their own quest. So they figure,

350
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:38,080
hey, let's all five of us journey together. They enter a dwarven outpost outside of Caricate

351
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,560
Peaks, like the entrance where I fucking belliger, iron hammer is just chilling out.

352
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,160
He's just there, which I remember reading them going, isn't isn't he really important? Why is

353
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,160
he just in this story with no ceremony? Holy crap.

354
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:52,880
Oh, sorry.

355
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,400
Very special nation.

356
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,560
For two hundred dollars. Thank you very much.

357
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,720
I love you a long time.

358
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,800
Thank you, Anthony.

359
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,240
Cheers, fellas. Always glad to catch you all live.

360
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,720
Putting a Mohawk on my vote and call and have my head canning that instead of gotcha killing

361
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,600
demons until it was age of Sigmar, he was killing them until it was 40 K Rock and Stone. That's

362
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,600
epic, bro. Thank you so much.

363
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Thank you so much.

364
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,000
Thank you. That's very generous, Anthony. Thank you.

365
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,160
Seriously, thank you.

366
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,200
You guys are too nice to us.

367
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,200
Belliger brings out the love, doesn't he?

368
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:35,840
Anyway, yeah, they ask for permission to enter eight peaks and receive it and are basically

369
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:42,480
wished good luck with that, guys. Have fun. And it is soon revealed that the three men,

370
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,520
two men and a Bretonian, were journeying to retrieve an artifact from Aldrid's Order.

371
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:54,480
A Karagul, a magical sword that was lost. One of the last times the dwarves tried to retake

372
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:00,560
that awful hellhole of a city. It did not go well. It never goes well trying to enter

373
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Karagate peaks.

374
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,680
It's a good sword, by the way. It's a good.

375
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,560
It is a very good.

376
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,360
Another donation.

377
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,320
It will become relevant later.

378
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,360
Stephen Cooper, thank you. Which one deserves to be, sorry, which one deserves to be called

379
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,720
football, the one that's always been called football or the one that started as soccer?

380
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,120
Just asking. I don't know what that means.

381
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,080
I'm going to assume you're on the American side, so hell yeah.

382
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,680
Sounds like it. Yeah. Good job, buddy.

383
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:32,240
Oh, no, no. Most of the world doesn't watch it. That's the problem.

384
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,040
Skill issue.

385
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,400
True.

386
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:44,880
Anyway, a priestess of the dwarf god, goddess Velia also warns the group that

387
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,520
evil lurks in the heart of the city, so be careful.

388
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,840
But they go in anyways because that's both the vaguest warning you could possibly give.

389
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,560
And like a fantasy setting, there's evil afoot. Thank you.

390
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Godric seeks death, so that's enticing him, if anything.

391
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,640
And everything inside Karagate makes is evil. It's filled with orcs and scaven. It sucks in there.

392
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,240
So, yeah, that that that warning doesn't do much.

393
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:17,680
The journey inside is pretty regularly broken up with fights against goblins, orcs, more goblins,

394
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:23,120
and more orcs. But they're also followed by strange lights the whole way, and they're kind of kind of

395
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:30,720
creeping everyone out. Eventually, the lights are revealed to be dwarf ghosts who beg Godric for

396
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:34,320
help clearing out an evil that's settled in their tomb and is disturbing the rest.

397
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,880
And Godric agrees because even as a slayer, he's still a dwarf. You got to respect the ancestor

398
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:46,560
tombs. He agrees to help them out. So underneath all of him, insulting random caravan drivers,

399
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:55,680
wives, he is ultimately a good a good hero. Way, way down. Deep, very deep, very deeply down.

400
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Eventually, they... Sorry, Crimson Glory gave us 9.99 US dollars. It says,

401
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Eli, you should never have to eat an egg again. I'll donate to... This is my character arc.

402
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,640
There you go. A donation character arc is the strangest thing I've ever heard in my life.

403
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,600
But thank you so much, Crimson Glory.

404
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,600
Uh. Thank you.

405
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,600
The chat about football is not stopped, by the way.

406
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,600
It's still going.

407
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Uh, yeah. But yeah, they come to a great treasure room, and at top of the pile of treasures,

408
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,520
is that caragal sword. Hey, look, they already found it. But before Aldred can grab it,

409
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:41,360
a heavily mutated troll busts in and just kind of rips his head off. So thank you, Aldred,

410
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:48,800
for your time here. You were appreciated. Good luck in the afterlife. And as the group starts

411
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,520
fighting it, they realize they can't damage it for more than a moment, because trolls already

412
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,640
can regenerate pretty heavily in Warhammer. And to top it off, this one's been mutated by Warpstone,

413
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:06,160
which I wonder how that Warpstone got here. And so it basically super-charges its regeneration.

414
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,200
They can get a single blow in, and then it's healed.

415
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,960
The Scout and the Sorcerer die, but not before the Sorcerer figures out fire will obliterate this

416
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,800
thing. So Felix tosses lantern oil on top of it, sets it on fire, and that lets Gatric finally put

417
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:27,280
the damn thing down. As they do that, a horde of goblins and orcs enters the room.

418
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:33,920
And Gatric and Felix prepare to finally end their story. And then a army—Ilai, you were saying the

419
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,120
plot armor's here. That's right, baby. This one was earned. I'd say this one was earned.

420
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:44,640
The dwarf ghosts from earlier, as thanks for clearing the tomb of the horrible troll,

421
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:51,760
form an army of dwarf ghosts, killing most of the orcs and robbing the rest. Gatric complains to them

422
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,440
that they stole a great doom from him, because, you know, a hundred orcs is

423
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:02,480
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.

424
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,560
Dwarves ghost sounds cool. It's like that scene of—

425
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,600
They are pretty cool.

426
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,040
It's like the Lord of the Rings scene, basically.

427
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,200
Yeah, you take that scene, but then you just like squash it, and you're like, yeah, I can visualize it now.

428
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:19,280
It's the Lord of the Rings. It's Pelennor Fields, but you can see above, like, the entire thing.

429
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
You can stand way at the back.

430
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,960
You can stand way at the back. If you were like archers, you could stand among them and shoot over their heads.

431
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,000
That would be quite effective.

432
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,440
Oh, Tom Warren has given ten dollars. Thank you, Tom. He says,

433
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:40,240
Have some money because Colin is the reason I have decided to read Gatric and Felix, and I'm already obsessed with it.

434
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:40,740
Nice.

435
00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:41,920
That's very cool.

436
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,760
More Gatric and Felix is good.

437
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:50,320
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?

438
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,440
Because occasionally I get comments like, oh, I've read this. Thanks for the video.

439
00:38:54,240 --> 00:39:01,200
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.

440
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,400
Yeah, I agree.

441
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,560
So you know what? That one badge of fucking pride right there.

442
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,560
Oh, man.

443
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,240
That is a talk about an effect on the community.

444
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:13,280
It's so sad.

445
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,560
It's so sad.

446
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,800
It's like, what's your legacy? And you just look back and it's just a bunch of you're going, fuck Bretonnia.

447
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,960
You're about to be released in the new world.

448
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,440
I did good. I did good.

449
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,720
Uh, no.

450
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:34,400
Uh, gotcha.

451
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Oh, what's up?

452
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,840
No, go ahead.

453
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,400
Oh, they decide not to take any treasure because that would just disturb the dwarfs' rest again.

454
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:50,000
But Felix does take Haragul to honor the memory of the comrades he fought alongside and because cool magic sword.

455
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,160
Let's let's be honest. He at least part in part took that because it's a cool magic sword.

456
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,160
Yeah, baby.

457
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,400
They're very mercenary heroes for every great good thing they do.

458
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,480
It's like genuinely like that's just straight up heroic.

459
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,320
There's also something perhaps a little bit less noble.

460
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,320
Children.

461
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,320
Well, that's well, that's pretty cool.

462
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,360
That's pretty swell and all, but I like to explain to you my fee.

463
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,000
And then you know, like, just going to be a real shame if you didn't pay my fee.

464
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,880
We're pretty damn broke. Can you do us a favor?

465
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,400
Yeah, they have to.

466
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,080
They met because didn't Godric attack the right's God?

467
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,200
Yeah.

468
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,400
Yeah. He killed right's God.

469
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,840
They're the royal guard of the emperor, basically.

470
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:41,440
So I get for reference, the closest thing could think of that from 40k if you're not familiar is

471
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,440
imagine some random guy from the leagues of Otan just obliterating a squad of the custodians.

472
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,200
If that ever happened, I think we'd all cry for the hard.

473
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,560
I'd cry tears of joy.

474
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,040
I'd be like, yeah, it'd be so funny.

475
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,560
It'd be too good.

476
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,880
The seeding, the seeding that would come after that would be just immaculate.

477
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,320
I would be salty at her.

478
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:09,360
All the custodian like players just coming out of their caves going re just clawing.

479
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,440
My range is so small already.

480
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,440
But that is that is the dark beneath the world that then promptly leave Karak eight

481
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,360
peaks, which is probably smart because that place is a hell hole.

482
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:33,200
The next story is the Mark of Slenesh, which is another very short and sweet one.

483
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,600
I think this one's honestly like 20 pages.

484
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:42,560
If that got trick has suffered a blow to the head, which initially Felix is like, you know,

485
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,440
he's probably just he's a bit tired and sore.

486
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
He's just a little bit concussed, but it's got trick.

487
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:48,320
So who cares?

488
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:48,960
He's fine.

489
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,520
And his weird attitude he's got, he's probably just a bit dazed.

490
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,960
They go to an end then because, you know, got trick likes beer.

491
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,760
He's a dwarf that'll that'll get him back on his feet.

492
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:09,520
And some people start picking a fight with Felix, Felix feeling very confident in not even in himself.

493
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,680
In got trick standing next to him, it's like Felix is at a like he's at a bar.

494
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,600
He's like, I've got this really big friend, right?

495
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,640
You're not going to mess with me.

496
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:19,920
He's doing that for Ragnarok.

497
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,200
I mean, like you can't defeat me.

498
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:21,840
You can't beat me.

499
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,440
You're off the name of like, you can't defeat me.

500
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:24,800
No, but he can.

501
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:32,640
That so he basically tries to throw got trick at them when it's looking like a fight is about

502
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,800
to break out, except it turns out got trick doesn't remember that he's got trick anymore.

503
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:42,560
That blow to the head really messed with his head and he has completely forgotten his slayer oath,

504
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,160
like who he is, everything.

505
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,320
So that's not great.

506
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,600
So Felix gets his ass whooped and even got trick are thrown out of the tavern.

507
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,440
And it also turns out the name of the stories because the town is full of slumash cultists.

508
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,560
Oh, is it just the tavern?

509
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:01,760
He kicked out a tavern.

510
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:03,200
Yeah.

511
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,240
No, no, there's more.

512
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,400
You got to fix got trick.

513
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:14,000
Remember they go to, they find an herbalist who's very sketchy.

514
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,760
And when I say sketchy, in order to cure got trick, he tells Felix to go out and get some

515
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,280
ingredients to make this a nice drought, to restore his memory.

516
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,960
One of the ingredients he has is warpstone.

517
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:33,200
No, I don't, I think that's not being used for the, for the elixir, but he just has warpstone.

518
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,360
When Felix asked him like, isn't that horribly dangerous and basically chaos?

519
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,640
I don't know.

520
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Nah, nah.

521
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:42,880
It's like, nah, it's fine.

522
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,720
Do trust me on that.

523
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:49,920
So Felix now without got trick is got trick is just kind of sitting in the tower of the

524
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,760
herbalist and a stupor, has to go find all this stuff.

525
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,120
And the whole story can basically be summarized as Felix playing the most dangerous game of chicken

526
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,080
with a cultists, mutants, I think some goblins at some point.

527
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,080
And he's basically like, you know how like they give you advice, like when you come across

528
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,080
like a line or something like look bigger than you are, or like some wild animals.

529
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Or like, if it's a certain type of bear, you lie down and play dead.

530
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:17,840
If it's not, yeah,

531
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,320
Bran lay down, black fight back, white, you're dead.

532
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,200
You accept it.

533
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,400
Yeah, that's like what the mutants Felix, like he starts brandishing his sword like,

534
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,720
go away, go away.

535
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:37,440
And because they're dumb mutants and just see big shiny points, they're like, no, we're going away.

536
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:47,040
So it's that for like 15 pages. He's very, very narrowly avoiding getting himself beaten and or killed the whole time.

537
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,040
And eventually you just hear someone shouting from a window, me so horny.

538
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,040
He's like, what?

539
00:44:53,040 --> 00:45:00,080
And yeah, he eventually goes back to the herbalist finally.

540
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,840
And he makes the drought and the drought doesn't work.

541
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:10,240
Gotrick still doesn't know he's got trick. So Felix just starts beating the hell out of the herbalist.

542
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:13,440
He just beating the crap out of them.

543
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,680
And a pot falls on Gotrick's head.

544
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,680
And would you believe what happens?

545
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,680
It's back.

546
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,680
Yeah, baby.

547
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,680
He does the back, baby.

548
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,680
We tried turning it off and on again.

549
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,680
That's what he did.

550
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,680
Perfect.

551
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,680
He turns their way.

552
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,680
Yeah.

553
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,680
And Felix feels got again on what's happened.

554
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:45,680
And the story ends with gotcha going, well, why don't we pay that town a visit, go back to that tavern.

555
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:53,680
And presumably a whole lot of bodies that you don't get to see in the end credits.

556
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,680
When the thing hit his head, did it make the window sound like, din, din, din, din?

557
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:09,680
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.

558
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:15,680
That's one of the goofier Gotrick and Felix stories, but I love it for that reason.

559
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,680
They're all a little bit like.

560
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,680
But that's the beauty of the series though, isn't it?

561
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,680
Like you get licensed to be a bit goofy.

562
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,680
You can't do that with Space Marine story because they're too stoic.

563
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Saying that the next one is a takes a hard left turn into being very ungoofy.

564
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,680
Gotrick and Felix now, this one is called Blood and Darkness.

565
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:43,680
The traveling through the Drakwald forest, which is in like the midden land north of Altdorf in the Empire.

566
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:49,680
But if you can find a map just to roughly locate it and they find a young girl named Kat.

567
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,680
She is the sole survivor of a beastman raid on a village.

568
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:59,680
She hid or I think someone hit her and when the beastman left, it was just her left amongst the ruins.

569
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,680
So she kind of wanders out and got you can Felix find her.

570
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:09,680
Another hint of what Gotrick's life was like becoming before becoming a slayer.

571
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,680
He's very out of character and like polite and kind towards Kat.

572
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,680
Like he just calls her little one and is like very fatherly towards her.

573
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Compared to his usual view of people who either aren't Felix or people who are giving him booze,

574
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:28,680
which is complete contempt at best.

575
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:38,680
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.

576
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,680
We'll get to that later, though.

577
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:47,680
These beastmen were not just, you know, you as a quick Warhammer fantasy, lor blurb.

578
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,680
Beastmen are everywhere like a beastman raiding a village is like the sun rising.

579
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,680
It is a completely unremarkable occurrence.

580
00:47:54,680 --> 00:48:00,680
But these ones are led by a warrior of chaos, champion of corn named Justine,

581
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:08,680
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.

582
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Which I thought was cool because this was like before GW abandoned

583
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:20,680
corn theoretically having an honorable side to them and being capable of subtlety and things that aren't the world eaters.

584
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,680
I do like the idea that it's just that killer rip out that baby's face.

585
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,680
That person to death.

586
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,680
It's like, shut up.

587
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,680
Well, stamp on that one to death.

588
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:36,680
It's even a contradiction in the actual chart of corn is that he cares not from where the blood flows, which is ironic.

589
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:43,680
And surely if you were honorable, you would care where it would come from. Like that's not honorable stuff.

590
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,680
Ah, well, the thing is, it's you need you need the blood needs to come from a worthy fight.

591
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,680
He's got a war.

592
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,680
I know. Poor Cornlaw just gets butchered like corn does.

593
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:59,680
Oh, we did get another little donation here by Tom Warren.

594
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:05,680
He says when I read the amnesia story, I actually stopped to text my brother what Gotrick said in quotes.

595
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,680
Not that I have anything against census violence manling, but why?

596
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,680
I forgot.

597
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,680
That's pretty good.

598
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:16,680
Thank you, Tom.

599
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,680
That's yeah, that was a banger.

600
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,680
Thank you for reminding me that quote.

601
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,680
I can't believe I forgot that.

602
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,680
Oh, good stuff.

603
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:32,680
But justine, you know, to take a hard left turn back into awful.

604
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:42,680
Justine was assaulted by a noble before she was a chaos warrior and which culminated her and wandering to the chaos wastes,

605
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:49,680
returning with an army of beastmen and a prophecy stating no warrior can kill her where she destroys the castle and the nobleman.

606
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:59,680
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.

607
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,680
Although they do love the chaos gods and this lady has a demon of corn directly in her head.

608
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,680
So that's more or less why they're like, all right, you can stay.

609
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,680
They don't like you, but you will live with it.

610
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,680
So all she has to do to become a demon princess is kill cat.

611
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,680
You were joking about that earlier, Andy.

612
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,680
Pretty much what the demon was telling her to do.

613
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:29,680
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.

614
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,680
Destroy the child. Destroy the child. Do it.

615
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,680
Just maybe a villain tattoo with a descending and there's this like aim for the cat, dude.

616
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:41,680
And for the cat, I'm trying evil Ted.

617
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:47,680
But yeah, Gottrick, Felix and Kat fight their way to a nearby village and they warn it of the coming danger.

618
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,680
Sure enough, Justine and the beastmen come on in and begin attacking the village.

619
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,680
And Gottrick fights Justine head on.

620
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,680
But the only thing stronger than plot armor is prophecy armor.

621
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,680
So Gottrick can't kill Justine. He injures her. It's a it's a brutal fight.

622
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,680
But because of that prophecy, Gottrick just he just can't kill her.

623
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,680
Like it's giving her in universe plot armor.

624
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:19,680
But when she sees Justine or when Justine sees Kat, she abends the fight and be lines directly towards Kat.

625
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,680
And despite the constant misgivings she has about the demon telling her to kill the child,

626
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,680
she finally decides I'm just going to kill the goddamn child.

627
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,680
And, you know, it's revealed finally that, yes, Kat is Justine's daughter.

628
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:40,680
Not not exactly a great not the most hard plot twist to see coming because I didn't bring it up too much.

629
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:46,680
But the whole story is not that long. And it's constantly filled with hints like it's daughter.

630
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:55,680
They're related. But yeah, so she she tries to kill Kat so she can become full on demon princess.

631
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:03,680
Felix tries to intervene and just no uncertain terms gets folded like an omelet.

632
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:13,680
Yeah, not even close. But as Justine was strangling him to death, Kat grabbed Justine's sword and killed Justine with it.

633
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:19,680
And the prophecy is fulfilled since Kat is not a warrior. She is a like six year old child.

634
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,680
Damn already got a kill count.

635
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:27,680
Yep. And and thus was the prophecy fulfilled. No warrior killed Justine.

636
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,680
And Korn was furious like a six year old.

637
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:38,680
No, he has not where the blood flows, how long as it does. So he was happy either way.

638
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:43,680
We have one more donation by Mr. Idiot.

639
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:49,680
He says, would you rather go on adventures with Kifus, Kane or Gotrick and Felix?

640
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,680
You vibe well with either choice, but you only get far enough.

641
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:59,680
You only there my brain. You only get enough plot armor to survive.

642
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,680
Thanks for the last book. Oh, I mean, what are you guys choosing?

643
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,680
I choose Felix, Gotrick or Felix.

644
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,680
Yeah, because I'm going to one person and I'd rather live in fantasy than 40k.

645
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:16,680
Well, Kifus Kane is also, you know, you'd get Jurgen too, but Jurgen smells like really, really bad.

646
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:22,680
Like literally like piss. Supernaturally bad.

647
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:32,680
But yeah, the this story ends, you know, Gotrick touchingly is like we can Felix is like, like they're debating like.

648
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,680
Oh, pardon me. Air got caught in my throat.

649
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:41,680
I started joking on it, but they're like, can we take it with her?

650
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,680
And like, no, we can't. We are actively seeking death.

651
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:49,680
No, we cannot take this six year old with us, however old she is.

652
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:54,680
And so they they tearfully say, you know, they'll never forget each other.

653
00:53:54,680 --> 00:54:00,680
And Kat stays with the survivors of that village and Gotrick and Felix are off to their next adventure.

654
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,680
And on their way to the city of Nuln.

655
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,680
But there's two more stories before we get to Skaven Slayer, so we're not there yet.

656
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,680
Is Nuln.

657
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,680
That's where they make guns.

658
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,680
Probably.

659
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,680
It's just for people who don't know, like Law Reasons.

660
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,680
What is the city of Nuln to the Empire, Colin?

661
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:28,680
The city of Nuln is the Empire's like capital of technological development and like making weapons.

662
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,680
So like gunfire, cannons, like all that good stuff.

663
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,680
That's what Nuln is. It used to be the capital.

664
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:43,680
And then a fat empire moved it to a fat emperor who was useless, moved it to Altdorf to hide from a fat goblin.

665
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,680
But you know, that's that's a story for another time.

666
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,680
Shout out to Grom. He's a real one. The punch.

667
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,680
The absolute chat.

668
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,680
But on the way to Nuln, the story is the mutant master.

669
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,680
They stop at a village known as Blooddorf, which not super important.

670
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,680
I just like how they know they name the towns that it fleshes out the world.

671
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:11,680
The villagers of Blooddorf are being held at ransom by a nearby sorcerer who is kidnapped all of their children out of fear

672
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:17,680
because they're afraid if they make them angry or gotchigan Felix make them angry, he'll hurt their kids.

673
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:25,680
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.

674
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:30,680
And then gotchigan Felix wake up and chains in the sorcerer's tower.

675
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:39,680
They discover that the sorcerer is a man named Kruger, who was actually a fellow student of Felix at the university in Altdorf.

676
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:46,680
This guy left after it was discovered he was stealing some forbidden texts about chaos and all that whatnot.

677
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:54,680
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.

678
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:59,680
From his starting power base of kidnapping children in a town in the middle of nowhere.

679
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,680
He's got a go getter attitude.

680
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,680
He's expanding his CV. He's working on himself.

681
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:16,680
Yeah. The pair gotchigan Felix them freed themselves because gotchigan is a dwarf with a muscle mass index of 110%.

682
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:26,680
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.

683
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:39,680
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.

684
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:49,680
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.

685
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,680
I like violence. Good work.

686
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,680
They then returned to the town to once again pay them a visit.

687
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:02,680
And I'm assuming this one also ends with a cut to black massive pile of corpses.

688
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:11,680
This one is truly an awkward conversation. You're like, Oh, did you see our children? Yep. Yeah, we did. Yeah.

689
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,680
They are. They're growing.

690
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,680
Got your right here. Got your right here is going to send them to you.

691
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,680
I just sent you to them. Every story there that you mentioned, there's a big pile of bodies.

692
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,680
I just feel sorry for whoever has to clean that up.

693
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,680
That poor guy is just like, right.

694
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,680
I've got tricks and gotchigan Felix been around. Oh, no, no.

695
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:33,680
Just there with the mall. Oh, well, thankfully half of these take place in the middle of nowhere.

696
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,680
So I think the bodies just kind of are left to rot or scavenger.

697
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:41,680
So free lunch or food.

698
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:47,680
And then we get to the last one story in Troll Slayer, which is Ulrich's children.

699
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:54,680
The pair are tracking a monster that gotrich thinks is another troll once again through the Dracwalled forest.

700
00:57:54,680 --> 00:58:01,680
And while the forest Felix notes is unnaturally quiet, the wolves are also unnaturally active.

701
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,680
Ulrich, by the way, for those of you aren't aware, is the known as the winter wolf.

702
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:12,680
He's a god of the empire. So Ulrich is a he's doing something right now.

703
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:17,680
The pair are separated and Felix is captured by Zeke cultists posing as imperial soldiers

704
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:23,680
alongside a woman named Magdalena, who the cultists have need of for one reason or other.

705
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:32,680
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.

706
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,680
So hey, werewolves exist in Warhammer fantasy.

707
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,680
Only really in this story, but they are out there.

708
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,680
Skin walls in Norsca, don't they?

709
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:49,680
Yeah, this one is more like a traditional werewolf, though, like not chaos corrupted.

710
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,680
It runs in all fours, this one is the proper is the real deal.

711
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,680
It sparkles.

712
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,680
In the sunlight. Team Jacob.

713
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,680
No, sorry.

714
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,680
We also have a Tom Warren $2 donation. Thank you Tom.

715
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,680
The word of the day is defenestation.

716
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,680
Did I say that right? Defenestation.

717
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,680
Throwing fellows out windows.

718
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,680
The action of throwing someone out a window.

719
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:23,680
Damn, that sounds like it probably was born in the, you know, Bohemia for some reason.

720
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,680
I don't know if anyone gets that.

721
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,680
Throwing Protestants out of windows or throwing cats out of windows.

722
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:33,680
It happened a lot. Enough to mean like a, it happened enough to be like it was a common occurrence at some point.

723
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,680
The good old 30 years war.

724
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,680
Good old, I was like, oh my god, again the checks are thrown out of a window.

725
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,680
I just like the idea, they're like, this is happening so much we need a word for it.

726
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,680
Right. Okay. What are we going to come up with?

727
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Good stuff.

728
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,680
Good stuff.

729
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:57,680
The Chaos Band, including a sorcerer named Vorman, plan on using Magdalena to lure her father over.

730
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,680
Because her father is one of like the wrecked children of Ulric.

731
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:07,680
It's never explained if they're like divine children or if it's just a metaphor because they have Ulric support or whatever.

732
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:12,680
But either way, he plans on using Magdalena, the guy's daughter, to lure him there.

733
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:17,680
So the sorcerer can steal his body for himself so he can be super strong werewolf man.

734
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:23,680
Felix, after the caption put in a cell, does pretty alright for himself, honestly.

735
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,680
Especially considering that Gottrick is still nowhere to be found.

736
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:32,680
He starts like solid snaking his way around the manor and just killing a bunch of cultists.

737
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,680
Including the leader, like, but not the sorcerer.

738
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,680
But Felix on his own has already taken out like a good chunk of a Chaos cult.

739
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,680
So he's still pretty cool when Gottrick's not around.

740
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:50,680
Around this point, the werewolf and an accompanying pack of wolves arrive and start ripping through the cultists.

741
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:55,680
So solid Felix and werewolves are now here.

742
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,680
So cultists going through it.

743
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:03,680
But not before the Vorman sorcerer completes his spell and switches bodies with the werewolf.

744
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:10,680
So while he was ripped to bits, but with his dying breast, breath, dying breast, dying breath.

745
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:14,680
Not dying breath.

746
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,680
The spell goes off and now he's in the werewolf body.

747
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:26,680
Felix, however, for some reason the cult had a dagger of pure warpstone just laying around, which Felix finds.

748
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,680
And is at this point the only thing that'll kill the werewolf.

749
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:36,680
So Felix stabs the Vorman werewolf with it and he dies.

750
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:43,680
Not, you know, not the most climactic fight in the world, but you can't fault him for getting the job done.

751
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:48,680
And kills him. All the wolves that accompanied the werewolf originally flee.

752
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:57,680
And Gottrick finally shows up complaining about having to walk through miles and miles of snow to find Felix again.

753
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:02,680
He declares that Felix says like this is Magdalene, as you know, explains the situation.

754
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,680
He's like, but she's a she had nothing to do with this whole affair.

755
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,680
She's you know, she's innocent. She's fine.

756
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,680
Gottrick then goes as a shape shifter.

757
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,680
She is clearly corrupted by chaos and kills her.

758
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:17,680
Nice. Oh, oh, he just does that.

759
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:24,680
Felix takes this about as well as you'd expect seeing a random woman just get chopped into pieces.

760
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,680
And it kind of it kind of sticks with them for a little while.

761
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,680
And then they then they go to Nuln.

762
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,680
And that was the end of Ulrich's children.

763
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:38,680
Two dead werewolves, one of which, because Gottrick decided I don't think you're good.

764
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,680
I don't like you. You don't seem like good people.

765
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:47,680
Flack. Oh, that was a legit version of like we don't like your kind around here.

766
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,680
And except he didn't except he didn't make her just go away.

767
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:58,680
He just he just unmade her split her and literally down the middle with the way.

768
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,680
Quick question. Does he have his axe? Yeah, he does.

769
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:12,680
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?

770
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:17,680
Yeah, it is a very potent magical act like Felix has a magical sword.

771
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,680
This thing like God's axe makes that sword look like it's a children's toy.

772
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:27,680
It's big, those head. This one. Yeah, it's like he has to wield it into.

773
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,680
Well, he doesn't have to. He chooses. He can wield it in two hands.

774
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,680
Most other dwarfs would have to use it in two hands.

775
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:41,680
Godric doesn't because he's built like a monster, but it is a very heavy, very sharp magical sword that never dolls.

776
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:47,680
It's it's something and it will pretty heavily tie into later stories.

777
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,680
But that's for now. It's just a Godric's weapon of choice.

778
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,680
It's not super elaborated on for now.

779
01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:01,680
Just some overall notes at this point in the story, if anything, Felix is just afraid of Godric throughout all of it.

780
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:09,680
He's a world with the violence and clearly has no problem committing murder if he feels like it.

781
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:14,680
Felix also isn't that skilled yet. He's getting there.

782
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,680
Like you just said, he snuck his way around a manor and killed a bunch of cultists.

783
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:23,680
He's getting there, but no one's quite where they're going to be a couple of stories down the line.

784
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,680
Like Felix and Godric aren't that close yet.

785
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,680
Godric, I mean, only ever really calls him Mandling.

786
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,680
But at this point, it's not like just what he calls him out of familiarity.

787
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,680
He's like, fucking Mandling, stop being dumb.

788
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,680
Follow me into the Goblin Dem. Don't be a bitch.

789
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,680
And also we should mention Felix is not seeking his doom at all.

790
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:49,680
So he's playing us in the story, like reluctant, like, oh my God, the pit bull is going in again.

791
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:56,680
I think he realizes, though, that anything, any situation where Godric dies, it means that he's probably also going to die.

792
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:04,680
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.

793
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,680
Yeah, he's just getting in the way of his hot girl summer.

794
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,680
I want to be doing all these other things, but I can't leave.

795
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,680
I'm stuck here because the alternative is probably death.

796
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,680
Oh, well, but that is the end of the Troll Slayer story.

797
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,680
Ah, we have a selection of stories rather.

798
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:27,680
We have a possibly just a few questions or comments as this is somewhat.

799
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:35,680
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.

800
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:41,680
We've done the peak part, but I do have a question is kind of related, kind of not.

801
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:50,680
My question is, what is the Ohio of the fantasy world?

802
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:57,680
Oh, you don't even know what to think about that. Probably, Austin.

803
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:03,680
Also, I didn't know that's it's a region in the Empire. That's east.

804
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,680
Oh, host is east.

805
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,680
Is it just as bad as well?

806
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:13,680
I mean, it's it's damp full of mists and shadows and swamps and crap.

807
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,680
So it kind of sucks. So I'll go.

808
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,680
That's I feel bad if anyone here is from Ohio.

809
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:26,680
I don't. But you, but even I, even I know that joke.

810
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,680
That's that's American states. You make fun of the other states when they make fun of yours.

811
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:36,680
And when there's no other people from other states around, you make your state because it sucks.

812
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,680
Or the French. That was basically my question.

813
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:48,680
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.

814
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,680
Even the people who live there.

815
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:59,680
I always misplace Iowa and Ohio, but then I'm like, oh, but Iowa has slipknot. So that's fine. Yeah.

816
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,680
Where's Iowa?

817
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,680
It's to the west.

818
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,680
Wait, hang on.

819
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:11,680
Is it near like the Dakotas? It's it's right. Yeah, it's right under Minnesota.

820
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,680
It is immediately. Oh, yeah.

821
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:20,680
Minnesota died in Minnesota. Oh, no. Oh, you can't just say that.

822
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,680
Oh, God. Yeah. I was it was a family trip and my insulin pump came up.

823
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:29,680
I didn't know. So I was just eating a ton of shit.

824
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,680
Oh, and then I had a little bit of a diabetic ketoacidosis moment.

825
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,680
Oh, no. Anyway, all right there. How are you doing?

826
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,680
A little bit of a fun. Your diabetic machine seems to have failed.

827
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,680
Well, that's a shame.

828
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,680
I also peed all over my dad's car from the illness.

829
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,680
You know, that was just funny.

830
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,680
Poor dad had to deal with that.

831
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:55,680
Someone says Tom Rogers, don't you dare disrespect Iowa?

832
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,680
OK, that's probably the only person who would defend it.

833
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,680
Maybe one thing in Iowa. Maybe one thing in Iowa.

834
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,680
Maybe a thing in a cornfield or something.

835
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,680
Goats.

836
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,680
Probably they have a goat.

837
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,680
They put a goat on the cover of the slipknot, one of their albums.

838
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,680
Yeah, that's Iowa. It's a goat.

839
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,680
They probably have a goat there, though.

840
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,680
Does anyone else have any comments or questions?

841
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,680
Any other questions or anything?

842
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,680
All I want is to look like Godric.

843
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,680
Big true. Yes.

844
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:30,680
Is there a thing with the dwarven biology where alcohol keeps their muscle mass in place or something?

845
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,680
Because I keep looking at the photos of Godric and I'm like, he drinks a lot.

846
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:39,680
I'm assuming they eat a lot and he probably keeps healthy and stuff.

847
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:44,680
You'd expect him to have a pot belly at some point, but he's like, no, not having that.

848
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,680
Dwarves are just magically jacked all the time.

849
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:54,680
Well, the thing is, they're fighting so often that they burn all the calories pretty immediately.

850
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,680
Killing an ogre burns a few calories, bro.

851
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,680
Yeah, it really does.

852
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:04,680
Sure. I also mentioned that. Just for people who don't know in reference, they've made it so far.

853
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:10,680
We mentioned the dwarves slayers. They don't all have necessarily the same pact.

854
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:15,680
And there is just a bit of expanded lore. There's a slayer god, is it?

855
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:21,680
Not Gurney. Grimnir. Grimnir.

856
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,680
Grimnir is the slayer god and they sort of have their own.

857
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,680
It's a weird thing. They don't necessarily, I guess, worship in the same way.

858
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:34,680
The worship is basically taking the slayer oath and then seeking a mighty doom.

859
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,680
Yeah, it's like the slayer oath.

860
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:47,680
There's one person who technically kind of doesn't have to fill it, Ungrem Ironfist, who is the king of Carrot Kadrin,

861
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:52,680
which is like the slayer keep. So he has to balance, I'm a slayer, I need to go find death.

862
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:59,680
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

863
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,680
and get their names carved in the big pillar of slayers and stuff.

864
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:08,680
Everyone, other slayer, those like, well, I'm a slayer now. I am functionally dead.

865
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:12,680
It just hasn't quite happened yet. Time to go find death in battle.

866
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:19,680
And poor old Godric is seeking his mighty doom, which again, Felix is hoping to record.

867
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:25,680
I always wanted to let you feel it's kind of goes just just just get the doom going, bro.

868
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,680
There's just doom. There are a couple of times I die already. Come on.

869
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:37,680
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

870
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:43,680
who are like not happy to be there. No, they're they're pretty all miserable. They're still alive.

871
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,680
They don't have to serve in like the slayer king's armies, do they?

872
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:54,680
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.

873
01:10:54,680 --> 01:11:02,680
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

874
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,680
for like the bachelor weekend, maybe we will get crunked at the same time.

875
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:14,680
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

876
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,680
and be like, we need like a hundred slayers. We're going to find death in battle.

877
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:23,680
And then a thousand of them will show up instead. Like we have extra.

878
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,680
I'm imagining the quartermaster and the cook at the Slayer Keep just like you guys again.

879
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:32,680
Why aren't you dead yet? I'm trying. Fine. What you need?

880
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,680
I think all of those slayers, to be fair, not all of them are the keepers.

881
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:41,680
Yeah. Not everyone there is, but a good chunk of them are slayers.

882
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:47,680
Like people, there's the people who are needed, you know, keep it running and then everyone else is pretty much just a slayer.

883
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:55,680
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.

884
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,680
Too good at fighting. Right. Let me get the spoon out.

885
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:05,680
The big spoon. He cooks the stew by dunking his head in the pot to taste.

886
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,680
I suffer for the flavor.

887
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,680
The flavor.

888
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:18,680
So there's anyone have any, maybe a few comments or questions here, which is, oh, I can't read that one out.

889
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:25,680
Tyrion and a L'Oreal are the best couple because they are high elves, meaning automatically that this is crazy Scotsman.

890
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:32,680
Are you telling me that there's not a greater love story than Godric and Felix, because that is deeply upset.

891
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:41,680
I appreciate their bromance, but yeah, because you know, the only thing that's stronger than a romance is a bromance.

892
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:46,680
Or Marathi and whatever clothes she has keeping it together.

893
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:53,680
Come on, come on, come on, Flats right there.

894
01:12:53,680 --> 01:13:02,680
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.

895
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:07,680
The funny rat himself. Oh, this is.

896
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,680
I cannot wait.

897
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:17,680
This after we got to Skaven Slayer and the first story is Skaven's Claw.

898
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:25,680
The pair finally make it to Nuln after like half of the previous series like Troll Slayer books were them going to Nuln.

899
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:31,680
Finally at Nuln. It's funny, like we were saying earlier, it's like the capital of the Empire's engineering and stuff.

900
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:38,680
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?

901
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,680
It's just the engineering school test firing cannons.

902
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:48,680
Because this is like a medieval, like just ending, like entering Renaissance and just real era.

903
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,680
So the people in Nuln are like, you know, they're just they're test firing the weapons.

904
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:56,680
Everyone else who visits Nuln is like, Jesus, what is happening?

905
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,680
That's one of the things like, oh, you can tell you're not a local essentially.

906
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,680
Yeah, it's like, look at the tourists.

907
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:10,680
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.

908
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:15,680
Tom Hanks' son just jumps to the deck and he's like, you're right, mate, calm down.

909
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,680
Just an explosion, don't worry about it.

910
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:27,680
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.

911
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:32,680
Because like, he just yelled like nobody looks in New York because I guess the subway is crazy.

912
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,680
This is a certified American city moment.

913
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,680
When I first moved to London, it took me a while to get used to like the sirens for both ambulances and police.

914
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,680
I was like, what is that noise?

915
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,680
What's going on?

916
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,680
Yeah.

917
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,680
But they get to Nuln, except they have a problem.

918
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:51,680
They're jobless.

919
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,680
Adventurer is not a job.

920
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:54,680
They do not make money doing that.

921
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,680
They just leave bodies.

922
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,680
They make bodies, but they don't make money.

923
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:04,680
So they have to become sewer jacks, which are Imperials who patrol the sewers of Imperial cities.

924
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:09,680
They look for mutants, heretics, and most importantly, Skaven lurking under there.

925
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:16,680
Though that being said, they rarely if ever talk about the Skaven outside of themselves.

926
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:26,680
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.

927
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:36,680
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.

928
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:41,680
And the Skaven would panic when they realized that the Empire knows they're all there and start an invasion.

929
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:45,680
And I can imagine the townsfolk and the village people being a bit stupid.

930
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,680
Like if we put a block of cheese over there, they're not going to come attack our house, are they?

931
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,680
Because there'll be cheese over there.

932
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:59,680
And you're like, you know, you say that, but to be fair, that would probably work.

933
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:00,680
The thing is, they'd eat the cheese.

934
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,680
They'd be like, that was nice.

935
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:03,680
People in that house.

936
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:04,680
Then they'd eat them.

937
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:05,680
We don't.

938
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:06,680
You know what?

939
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:07,680
Fair enough.

940
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:08,680
It's a temporary donation here.

941
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,680
Another one from Tom Warren.

942
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:11,680
Thank you so much, Tom.

943
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:13,680
He says, I live in New York.

944
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,680
That might be why I envy Iowa.

945
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,680
I don't know if that's valid.

946
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,680
Not sure, but we believe you.

947
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,680
We hope you...

948
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:29,680
Look, anyone who lives in proximity to an American city can tell you that American cities suck.

949
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,680
But why?

950
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:32,680
I don't know.

951
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,680
I just don't like cities.

952
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:41,680
To be fair, London feels big, but then they're like spaces of peace and sort of horror and stuff.

953
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:45,680
I don't like hearing gunshots when I'm at my friend's place in the city.

954
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,680
That's why I don't like the city.

955
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,680
They're also centralized cities.

956
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,680
They're not like your nice European cities where you can walk places.

957
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:54,680
Fun fact about London.

958
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,680
It's technically a forest.

959
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:57,680
Really?

960
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,680
Because there's enough trees, isn't there?

961
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:04,680
There's enough green spaces and there's something about the way it's technically a forest.

962
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:06,680
There are deer that roam.

963
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:07,680
Bushy Park.

964
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:08,680
I've been there.

965
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:13,680
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.

966
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,680
There's wild deer roaming around certain parks in London.

967
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,680
We got that in my little city room.

968
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:23,680
Dude, we have that too, except it's people on fentanyl.

969
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:27,680
We have the fentanyl and the deer.

970
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,680
It's a very diverse biome with lots of flora.

971
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:35,680
Why are they plants?

972
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,680
Fauna.

973
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,680
Fauna, yeah.

974
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,680
The Westbridge fauna.

975
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:47,680
The idea of going to a city and watching people run on all fours just doesn't work.

976
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaking of adventure though, we're in the sewers right now.

977
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:51,680
Skaven Slaire.

978
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:52,680
Skavenclaw.

979
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,680
This is the first story.

980
01:17:54,680 --> 01:18:01,680
This is all like the Skaven Slayer is still like one-off stories, but they work together to make a complete whole.

981
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:08,680
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.

982
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:14,680
But it is now like the stories are cohesive holes working together.

983
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:23,680
So while Sewer Jacks, while they're working with a squad of Sewer Jacks, they come across a Skaven conversing with a nobleman.

984
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,680
Pardon me.

985
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,680
The sergeant of the Sewer Jacks is killed.

986
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:36,680
And while Gottrick manages to kill the Skaven by tossing a hatchet directly into its brain, the nobleman escapes.

987
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,680
And Felix did manage to see his face, which you think, well, that's just helpful.

988
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,680
The problem is it's a noble.

989
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:55,680
Felix staying at a seedy tavern working as a sewer jack is not exactly welcome in the politer areas of Nuln society.

990
01:18:55,680 --> 01:19:00,680
So if he tried to just walk around and point fingers at nobles, at best he'd get thrown out.

991
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,680
At worst, he'd probably be killed.

992
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,680
So he has a face and nothing else, no name, no nothing.

993
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:13,680
But later that night, some luck happens because Felix has a brother named Otto, Otto Jager.

994
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:21,680
And the blind pig tavern Felix is staying at, he finds Gottrick and Felix and he invites Felix to dine with him.

995
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:28,680
And for the first time in months, Felix finally gets a taste at the good life again,

996
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:34,680
which is not sleeping in taverns that are filled with bedbugs and rats and almost dying every other day.

997
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,680
And having to put up with Gottrick farting occasionally.

998
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:38,680
Yeah, and have to deal with that.

999
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,680
Parts are the worst. They're deadly.

1000
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:45,680
You say that? That is a plot point in one of the later books.

1001
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,680
I could write a book about Gottrick and Felix.

1002
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:53,680
For reference though, what is it Felix's family does think is, is it their merchants?

1003
01:19:53,680 --> 01:20:01,680
They're merchants and it actually causes some trouble later on because like it's like that era like in history

1004
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:06,680
when like merchant families are starting to become wealthy, but they're not proper blue blood nobles.

1005
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,680
They're like an in-between middle class aren't they?

1006
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:13,680
Yeah, they're like they're not getting the respect that, you know, of a noble would they're looking down on them.

1007
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:20,680
So Felix's dad tries to get them into like higher society by buying his way in, but they can't quite.

1008
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,680
But that's for later.

1009
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:33,680
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.

1010
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:41,680
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.

1011
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,680
So a little a little bit of some shady stuff going on there.

1012
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:48,680
And also the man who he saw in the sewers with the skaven,

1013
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:53,680
which is a bit of a problem with the chief of the secret police is working for the skaven.

1014
01:20:53,680 --> 01:21:03,680
They discover that von Halstead has been working with the skaven to remove mutants from positions of power

1015
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,680
because in von Halstead's eyes, mutants are a lot more insidious.

1016
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:12,680
They lurk in society and corrupted and are evil and crap.

1017
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,680
Whereas skaven are like, yeah, that's a skaven.

1018
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:15,680
You know where it is.

1019
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,680
It's pretty obviously evil.

1020
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:21,680
It's a lesser evil because it's not trying to undermine us from within.

1021
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:28,680
He says as he's working with the skaven to undermine them from within because he is blinders on the size of a horse.

1022
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:33,680
Yeah, he's been working with that quote to do that.

1023
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,680
Thankful is upset that he has to work with a low life such as one.

1024
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:44,680
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.

1025
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:50,680
And speaking of enter, thankful, the crazy or the funniest rat.

1026
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:59,680
He's been placed in charge of the invasion of known by the skaven council of 13, the high lords of the skaven.

1027
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:12,680
They despite him being a goofy goober, he's also an incredibly powerful wizard that can pretty easily turn you into just dust.

1028
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:19,680
Assuming he's allowed to do so openly because skaven politics are a bit of a nightmare, as you'll see shortly.

1029
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:20,680
Pardon me.

1030
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:26,680
The underlings he has are constantly jockeying with him to become the leader of the invasion so they can get all the credit.

1031
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,680
But for now, he's in charge without question.

1032
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:37,680
Back to gothic and Felix, they decide the bottom house that needs to go because he is pretty clearly out of his mind.

1033
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,680
And all he's doing is priming known for a skaven invasion.

1034
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:51,680
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.

1035
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,680
So that's got to be dealt with.

1036
01:22:53,680 --> 01:23:05,680
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.

1037
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:13,680
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.

1038
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:14,680
Bone ripper one.

1039
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:15,680
Bone ripper one.

1040
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:16,680
Never forget.

1041
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:17,680
Never forget.

1042
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,680
A deep tragedy.

1043
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,680
The bone ripper is always in my heart.

1044
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:23,680
At any point.

1045
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:29,680
So when he finds that the sewer jacks and gothic and Felix are there, he panics.

1046
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:35,680
Has his bodyguard bone ripper to kill two of the sewer jacks. They were twins.

1047
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:37,680
They get bone rippered.

1048
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,680
They get their bones ripped out.

1049
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,680
God, that description is horrific.

1050
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:44,680
Yeah.

1051
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,680
And gothic and Felix now break in and enter.

1052
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,680
And thankful is always on his way.

1053
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:57,680
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.

1054
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,680
So now it's down to just the duo again.

1055
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:01,680
Fun stuff.

1056
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,680
Gothic waits outside to guard.

1057
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,680
Well, in case anyone tries to intervene.

1058
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,680
Well, Felix goes to confront von Halstatt.

1059
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:18,680
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.

1060
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,680
Thankful runs up with bone ripper when he hears the fighting.

1061
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,680
He's like, Oh God, no, I can't let him die.

1062
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:24,680
This is bad.

1063
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:33,680
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.

1064
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:44,680
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.

1065
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:49,680
Yeah, they're they're like probably like three gothic stacked on top of each other.

1066
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,680
Just cut it in half for people listening who don't like dabble in the fancy too much.

1067
01:24:54,680 --> 01:25:06,680
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.

1068
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:14,680
And then it gets it's been pretty bone ripper slightly different because bone ripper has got got some extra bits attached.

1069
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:21,680
Extra, extra fun. Remi from Ratatouille combined with Gusteau from Ratatouille.

1070
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,680
It's like the size of Gusteau. Yeah.

1071
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:24,680
But a rat.

1072
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:28,680
What's the name of the guy who's in the hunchback of Notre Dame?

1073
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,680
I can't remember his name.

1074
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:31,680
Quasimodo?

1075
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,680
Quasimodo plus Remy.

1076
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,680
That but doubled in size and filled with nothing but rage.

1077
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,680
But now it's two.

1078
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,680
Now it's in half.

1079
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:49,680
It's been I don't think I think he was cut down the middle too.

1080
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,680
Biggie cheese. He is not biggie cheese.

1081
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,680
He is biggie cheese.

1082
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,680
That is bombastic.

1083
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:01,680
Somebody's got to get an image of that. That'll be amazing.

1084
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:09,680
And the the story ends with Gautier and Felix leaving and setting the house on fire before leaving.

1085
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:19,680
So now in addition to inciting riots and a whole lot of murder, we can add domestic terrorism to their list of charges.

1086
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:25,680
They are heroes of a different variety.

1087
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:26,680
So yeah.

1088
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,680
Don't worry bone ripper gets better.

1089
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,680
Kinda.

1090
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,680
He died but he got better.

1091
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,680
There's more bone rippers to be had. Don't worry.

1092
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:37,680
Don't worry.

1093
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,680
It's a running theme.

1094
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:42,680
The next story is gutter runners.

1095
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:51,680
So Gottrick after this all happened, they report to the sewer watch captain about, hey, there's rats in the city.

1096
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,680
The sewer watch captain does not believe them.

1097
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:55,680
So Gottrick assaults the guy.

1098
01:26:55,680 --> 01:27:05,680
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.

1099
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,680
Pardon me.

1100
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:15,680
Felix is once again being a ladies man and is now hooking up with a serving girl known as Elisa.

1101
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:16,680
They've got a relationship now.

1102
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:20,680
So you're up to two.

1103
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:21,680
Incidences.

1104
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:34,680
In the meantime, thankles one-sided rivalry with Gottrick and Felix has finally begun.

1105
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:36,680
Now he's like they're out to get me.

1106
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:37,680
They're out to get me.

1107
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:38,680
They're not.

1108
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:43,680
But he's also just been going through it since the last story.

1109
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:48,680
The Skaven have this thing called a far squeaker, which is Skaven Skype.

1110
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:49,680
Very funny name.

1111
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:56,680
And he's forced to explain to a seer lord on the council why he's a how come Nolan is still around.

1112
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:01,680
They accidentally far squeak to the Eldar in 40k.

1113
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:02,680
Is that still a thing?

1114
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,680
They did in the end times.

1115
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,680
They far squeak to the Eldar.

1116
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:10,680
It'll probably get retconned to be like the Lumineth or something with Age of Sigmar now.

1117
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,680
But I think initially it was the Eldar.

1118
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:19,680
The leader of the far squeak Enclave.

1119
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:21,680
I want to see a conversion of that model.

1120
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:28,680
Be a rat who's far squeaked when no rat has far squeaked before.

1121
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,680
But initially when he's talking to the guy, it's like almost completely static.

1122
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:38,680
So Thanquil being the brilliant smart rat he is just starts completely making stuff up about how Nolan,

1123
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,680
there's been almost no setbacks.

1124
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:42,680
It's going flawlessly.

1125
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,680
The chief of police died who was my puppet.

1126
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:45,680
Don't worry about that.

1127
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:46,680
That was just a little hiccup.

1128
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:47,680
Everything's going flawlessly.

1129
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:49,680
And then they turn a knob.

1130
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:52,680
And then it turns out the image on the seer lord's end was completely fine.

1131
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:58,680
And he's been watching Thanquil BS his way and dig his own grave deeper and deeper this whole time.

1132
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:07,680
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.

1133
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:08,680
But whatever.

1134
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:09,680
The plan has changed.

1135
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:12,680
The invasion will begin in a few weeks instead.

1136
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:14,680
And you're no longer in charge.

1137
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,680
A skaven known as Vermex scab is now in charge.

1138
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:23,680
You don't need to remember that name because he never actually shows up in the story.

1139
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,680
The far squeaker then explodes because skaven tech does that sometimes.

1140
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:36,680
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.

1141
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:46,680
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.

1142
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:55,680
Thanquil walks out, puts on his best rat poker face and goes, yes, I am now in charge still of the invasion of known.

1143
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,680
Uh, it helps that the, uh, yep.

1144
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,680
It helps that a skaven scribe gave him a note.

1145
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:09,680
Uh, right after he gives him the note, Thanquil then kills him, uh, with the skaven practice of shooting the messenger.

1146
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,680
Oh, because he wanted to, he felt humiliated.

1147
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,680
So he took it out on a smaller rat.

1148
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:21,680
I think it was brutal to like he's the rat got like flayed Adam by Adam, like a Necron Flayer.

1149
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,680
Oh God.

1150
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,680
And, uh, yeah, then there was no more messenger rat.

1151
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:30,680
And, uh, he read the message that, uh, does anyone want to read another quote?

1152
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,680
Oh, Eli, do you have skaven voice in you?

1153
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:34,680
Please.

1154
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:40,680
You don't have to do skaven voice, but you know, if you just want to, just want to.

1155
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,680
Please. We beg you. We beg you.

1156
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:45,680
You don't have. I'm not making you.

1157
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:53,680
And skaven tragic news, Thanquil said, and even the mighty, the coughing stopped mighty warlord Vermex Calvis dead.

1158
01:30:53,680 --> 01:31:00,680
Killed in a terrible accident involving a loaded crossbow and an exploding dog.

1159
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:08,680
We will have the traditional 10 heartbeats of silence to mark his return of his soul to the horned rats.

1160
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:13,680
Immediately all the skaven began to talk among themselves.

1161
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,680
Skaven politics. Thank you, Eli.

1162
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,680
I love the contrast of going glorious.

1163
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,680
And he goes, immediately all the skavens, he just shifted. That was perfect.

1164
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:29,680
Glorious. People once appreciate that in the chat. That was glorious.

1165
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:35,680
And, uh, and as he's explaining, like, yes, this guy is dead, so I'm in charge.

1166
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:39,680
He phrases it in a way like, none of the skaven really believe him.

1167
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:44,680
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.

1168
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:51,680
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.

1169
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:57,680
If not earlier somehow. So we're just going to go along with Thanquil's BS.

1170
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,680
Uh, so skaven politics are great.

1171
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:06,680
And he has decided his first new act as leader is to have a bunch of skaven gutter runners,

1172
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:16,680
the finest troops of clan Eshin, uh, murder Gottrick and Felix, uh, led by an assassin named Chang Squick, whose name sounds faintly racist.

1173
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:25,680
It's on the edge. It's not as bad as the White Scar's voice in the audiobooks for 40k.

1174
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:32,680
No one has not heard that. It's a, it's, it's pretty much what you're thinking. It's very caricature.

1175
01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:40,680
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.

1176
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:45,680
Yeah, I'm just going to call him squint going forward and voice my white scars.

1177
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:49,680
That'd be cool. That'd be fun.

1178
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:56,680
But, uh, yeah, so this guy, uh, he's one of he's one of death master snitch disciples.

1179
01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:00,680
So he's he's pretty good at his job.

1180
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:07,680
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.

1181
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:12,680
This is a, this is Mr. Squicks training regiment.

1182
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:14,680
Oh, God.

1183
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:18,680
I don't know if I do skaven voice for that.

1184
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:20,680
Uh, should I do skaven voice or not?

1185
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:23,680
This is lore.

1186
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:37,680
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.

1187
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:48,680
Even at an early age, he had learned that beggars were often far from blind and viciously proficient in the martial arts.

1188
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:58,680
That's that's skaven training run on hot coals and snatch coins from homeless people.

1189
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,680
I love skaven lore, bro.

1190
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:09,680
It's so just like someone out there went, yeah, but can you take a shot before I write this?

1191
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,680
The next paragraph and then they made the atomic bomb of Warhammer.

1192
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,680
Wow.

1193
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,680
Then they nuke the moon.

1194
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:18,680
Oh, what is it?

1195
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:19,680
It's like, is it the minions?

1196
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,680
Isn't it the crouching tiger hidden Oppenheimer?

1197
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:26,680
It's crazy.

1198
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:27,680
Okay.

1199
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:31,680
That's not what I thought that would be.

1200
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:38,680
But these gutter runners, they're going to split into two groups, one to assassinate Gottrick and Felix each.

1201
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:48,680
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.

1202
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:49,680
You're not trapped in here.

1203
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,680
I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me.

1204
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,680
Yeah, they die.

1205
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:55,680
They die.

1206
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:57,680
Sleepy time.

1207
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:03,680
The second group is closer to a Looney Tunes skit than an assassination attempt.

1208
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:09,680
I think one of them falls on top of Felix and Felix wakes up like, what?

1209
01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:15,680
With Elisa, however you say the name, also still in Felix's bed.

1210
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:22,680
It's just a mess and her and Felix both run out, escape.

1211
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:32,680
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.

1212
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:43,680
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.

1213
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:47,680
The patrons are like, staff, staff, staff, staff, and we're like, we done? Yeah?

1214
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:49,680
Yeah, that's my drink.

1215
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:50,680
That's pretty much what it was.

1216
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,680
Does Gottrick kill the main rat?

1217
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,680
No, that guy, he actually escapes.

1218
01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:08,680
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.

1219
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:12,680
So he just settles for making him look bad and embarrassing him.

1220
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:14,680
Which is the worst kind of punishment.

1221
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,680
Yeah, because then the other Skaven are going to...

1222
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,680
He sounds quite Skaveny.

1223
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:20,680
Yep.

1224
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:23,680
Next story is Night Raid in Skaven Slayer.

1225
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:38,680
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.

1226
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:43,680
And then he's going to get backstabbed by those clans and he doesn't want to deal with that.

1227
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:49,680
So he just kind of has to sabotage their efforts.

1228
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:55,680
The first to try and win it for himself is a member of clan Skryre named Heskett One Eye.

1229
01:36:55,680 --> 01:37:02,680
Thankel learns from his sidekick Lurk Snitchtongue, who's just a silly little guy.

1230
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,680
That's a great name by the way.

1231
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:07,680
Lurk Snitchtongue.

1232
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:20,680
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.

1233
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:24,680
Thankel can't have Heskett succeeding because this would make him look bad.

1234
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:26,680
Not that he doesn't think it would work.

1235
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,680
It would make him look bad and he wouldn't get credit.

1236
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:36,680
So he starts writing messages to Gottrick and Felix, warning them of what the Skaven are doing.

1237
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,680
Oh my god, I love Skaven lore. It's so wild.

1238
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:46,680
He has Lurk deliver it to Gottrick and Felix and then run away before they can realize what's happening.

1239
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:50,680
And they read the message and it looks like a child wrote it.

1240
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:58,680
He ends the message with, your friend, except it's like y-o-o-r-f-r-e-n-d. Your friend.

1241
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,680
Your friend. Your friend.

1242
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:02,680
With a smiley face. Your friend.

1243
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,680
He also writes it where it's like, it's obviously a Skaven wrote this. He says,

1244
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:11,680
Treacherous Heskett one-eye, pox is be upon them.

1245
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:16,680
They don't say it word for word, but they look at each other like, this is a Skaven wrote this.

1246
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:18,680
A Skaven has just given us this fucking letter.

1247
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:25,680
Their lore is so good. It's literally the equivalent of, I felt cute, might betray another Skaven later.

1248
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:27,680
Dang it.

1249
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:33,680
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.

1250
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:40,680
So, all right. I guess we'll go like Felix has misgivings about it, but he goes along with it and Gottrick is like,

1251
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:46,680
I mean, I'll get to kill rats. So I really don't care that much.

1252
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:52,680
So the plan for Heskett is they're going to break into the college on a night where most of the engineers are,

1253
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:56,680
they're at a fancy ball thrown by the Elector Countess Emanuel.

1254
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:01,680
And indeed, Gottrick and Felix, who themselves break into the college at night to stop them,

1255
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:06,680
discover the Skaven breaking into the college at night to stop them.

1256
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:12,680
Before they can stop Heskett, though, he climbs aboard the steam take Nuln has for like training and whatnot

1257
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:15,680
and just starts firing at them.

1258
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:20,680
Except you'd think that might be a problem for Gottrick and Felix.

1259
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:29,680
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

1260
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:35,680
Heskett thinks his own men are trying to attack the steam tank when really they're just running away from Gottrick and Felix.

1261
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:40,680
So he starts firing on his own Skaven. Gottrick and Felix are getting shot at. They're fighting Skaven.

1262
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:45,680
Skaven are fighting Skaven. No one really knows what's happening.

1263
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:51,680
Gottrick for his part is just kind of swimming through the ocean of rats and killing anything that's close.

1264
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:56,680
Felix manages to reach the steam tank and climb aboard and they start fighting.

1265
01:39:56,680 --> 01:40:02,680
Except it's it's like it's a steam tank. It's not big. It's very cramped.

1266
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:06,680
So between that, none of them know how to like pilot a steam tank.

1267
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,680
And they're also trying to beat each other to death.

1268
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:13,680
The tank goes wildly out of control and crashes into the sewers the Skaven arrived from.

1269
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:20,680
Oh my god. So Felix and Heskett both like just get the hell out.

1270
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:25,680
Oh, I should also mention there was only 12 steam tanks ever created.

1271
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,680
So now one of them is the bottom of the sewer.

1272
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:31,680
Gotrick and Felix and Heskett run out for the Empire. Yeah.

1273
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,680
And then the steam tank explodes.

1274
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,680
So now there are 11 steam tanks left of the Empire.

1275
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:45,680
It could survive a battle with chaos, beastmen, orcs, but then Gotrick and Felix are the ones who take the job.

1276
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:52,680
Yeah. And then and then I think the rest of the college is slowly catching on fire and guards are all running.

1277
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,680
And then Gotrick and Felix just kind of just kind of leave.

1278
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:58,680
They just kind of tip.

1279
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:00,680
Like, all right, mission accomplished.

1280
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:04,680
You see that thing we just go and they just walk off very, very slowly.

1281
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:09,680
What's that? That's SpongeBob Co- We did it, Patrick. We saved the city.

1282
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:14,680
I just imagine Gotrick just starts walking into one of those and Felix is like, yeah, that's the idea.

1283
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,680
That's just, that's just cool.

1284
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:20,680
Yeah. And yeah, that's that's Night Raid.

1285
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:26,680
The next one is Plague Months of Pestilence. Now it's time for Clan Pestilence to get involved.

1286
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:29,680
My boys, my beloved.

1287
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:30,680
My Rothex.

1288
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:38,680
Their champion is a guy named Vile Broth Null, which another banger name.

1289
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,680
The names go so hard.

1290
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:47,680
His followers are working on a very pestilent scheme, a plague that will wipe out everyone in Null.

1291
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:52,680
It's already slowly been spreading, but their whole thing is like they're going to make like one grand ritual

1292
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:57,680
and then it'll just it'll get everyone sick and they'll just kind of melt.

1293
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:07,680
As it's going on, Thanqul once again gets word of this and sends another letter to Gotrick.

1294
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:12,680
Would you have it on your wall, honestly, like, I put it on my fridge.

1295
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,680
Thanqul.

1296
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:21,680
And to make it worse, Felix and Eliza are sick.

1297
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,680
His brother sends them to a doctor named Drexler.

1298
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:30,680
And this is another like just world building moment where Felix and Eliza go to see Dr. Drexler.

1299
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:36,680
And after like as he starts like treating them and diagnosing them, Felix is very shocked.

1300
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:42,680
Like, where are the leeches? What do you mean you don't believe in the four humors? What's going on here?

1301
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:51,680
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.

1302
01:42:51,680 --> 01:43:02,680
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.

1303
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,680
Yeah, they like to be subtle sometimes.

1304
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:17,680
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.

1305
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:22,680
Oh, yeah. Nice one. It's like it's like it doubles as like, yeah, it's horribly uncreative.

1306
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:26,680
But like Warhammer fantasy is like kind of parallel in a lot of ways.

1307
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:39,680
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.

1308
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:47,680
Yeah, yeah, thanks. Yeah, not subtle there like that was like misspelled or misremembered names or something. Yeah.

1309
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:59,680
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.

1310
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:14,680
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.

1311
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:25,680
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.

1312
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:31,680
He's like, I'm going to actually examine the people who died of this and maybe figure it out.

1313
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:36,680
And they eventually conclude that somehow sickness is spreading from there.

1314
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,680
Directly from like underneath the garden.

1315
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:46,680
Turns out this vile broth has something called the cauldron of 1000 boxes.

1316
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,680
Once again, names go so hard.

1317
01:44:48,680 --> 01:45:04,680
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.

1318
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:15,680
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.

1319
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:30,680
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.

1320
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:39,680
But they stopped the grand ritual from going off so plague months of pestilence ends with a draw, I guess.

1321
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:46,680
Everyone just goes home so well played. Yeah.

1322
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:48,680
Yeah.

1323
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:50,680
Next up next short story.

1324
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:57,680
Second to last one is the beasts of Mulder that clan Mulder is now getting involved.

1325
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:02,680
This their champion is named Isaac grottle Isaac.

1326
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:18,680
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.

1327
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:24,680
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.

1328
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:41,680
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.

1329
01:46:41,680 --> 01:47:00,680
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

1330
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:11,680
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.

1331
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:14,680
Tom Warren Thank you for the $5 Sir.

1332
01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:19,680
Am I the only one who thought of gimme when God tricks smashed pot.

1333
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:21,680
I'm always thinking about gimme.

1334
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,680
I mean, I get it.

1335
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:32,680
I'm like, I'm gonna work this time, work this time.

1336
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:34,680
My pronouns are.

1337
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:35,680
What is it.

1338
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:37,680
Grudge.

1339
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:44,680
No, it's basically what my pronouns are whatever because I'll never be him.

1340
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:48,680
He and her because I'll never be him.

1341
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:52,680
And then the dog.

1342
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:54,680
Looks niche tongue.

1343
01:47:54,680 --> 01:48:07,680
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.

1344
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:14,680
Yeah, or Yeah, or that one of them cared enough about another skaven to remember the relatives.

1345
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:16,680
And would you believe it.

1346
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:20,680
Thankful since goth can Felix another message.

1347
01:48:20,680 --> 01:48:22,680
Mr. President, Mr.

1348
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:28,680
Third message has reached.

1349
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,680
Thank you.

1350
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,680
Thankful.

1351
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:35,680
On top of that, there's trouble in paradise.

1352
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:41,680
Because Eliza's previous lover named Hans has shown up from the countryside.

1353
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:43,680
And the city is getting worse and worse.

1354
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,680
Eliza wants Felix to leave with her.

1355
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:48,680
Felix doesn't want to leave yet.

1356
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:50,680
He's with Hans.

1357
01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:52,680
And it's very sad.

1358
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:55,680
And Felix says like a touching moment of sadness and regret.

1359
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:57,680
He's like, Is this all worth it?

1360
01:48:57,680 --> 01:49:03,680
And then he looks under the floorboards where he hid his money and Eliza had taken it.

1361
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:04,680
So then he's a little bit sad.

1362
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:09,680
And then he said for different reasons.

1363
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:11,680
Oh, man.

1364
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:12,680
Anyway, got you.

1365
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:20,680
Well, gotrick is angry as his default state of being Felix is now depressed and poor.

1366
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:24,680
They go to intercept the barge carrying clan Mulder's latest projects.

1367
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:26,680
And this one's actually pretty simple.

1368
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:31,680
You know, they once again sneak to the docks deal with the skaven on board.

1369
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:41,680
But one lucky one lucky underling escapes with a cage of the rats that he drops in the tunnels of the skaven by accident.

1370
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:46,680
Which means that now known and the skaven now have to deal with the hungry rats.

1371
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:52,680
I still think of a damn crossbow and exploding donkeys.

1372
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,680
It's got to do with Danko.

1373
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:57,680
I love skaven so much.

1374
01:49:57,680 --> 01:49:59,680
It's so good.

1375
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,680
Oh, thank you.

1376
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:03,680
Thank you, skaven.

1377
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:06,680
Exploding donkeys.

1378
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:13,680
I don't know why, because you mentioned the the plan pestilence stuff, I came up with some possible names for some like skaveny.

1379
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:15,680
Do you want to hear some skaven names?

1380
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:16,680
I would love to.

1381
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:17,680
All right.

1382
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:23,680
So the first one is Grundel crust pox liquor.

1383
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:24,680
We got three more if you want them.

1384
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:26,680
Get him out of here.

1385
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:27,680
Or two more.

1386
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:29,680
The further on I haven't finished.

1387
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:32,680
Puss grump snot gobbler.

1388
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:37,680
And rot pickle fester tickle.

1389
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:39,680
Can you write those down somewhere?

1390
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:40,680
Can you send them somewhere?

1391
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:41,680
I can send them to you.

1392
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:45,680
I need to use that first one for like a skaven character I paid or something.

1393
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:47,680
That's his name now.

1394
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,680
Pops tickle.

1395
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,680
Pops liquor.

1396
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:53,680
Foul.

1397
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:55,680
Just something you were just talking about.

1398
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,680
My mind was like, let's come up with some weird and gross names.

1399
01:50:58,680 --> 01:50:59,680
It could be Nurgle.

1400
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:00,680
Could be skaven.

1401
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,680
Most likely skaven.

1402
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:06,680
Oh, that is brilliant though.

1403
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:08,680
Time for the battle of Null.

1404
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:10,680
So the rats are the problem, right?

1405
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:15,680
The rats are always the problem.

1406
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,680
We get the battle of Null.

1407
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:23,680
The skaven are dying from the plague because it's now spread to their ranks and is affecting them.

1408
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:24,680
The rats are eating their food.

1409
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,680
The same is happening to the people upstairs.

1410
01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:32,680
No one in Null is having a good time.

1411
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:36,680
Thanquil advises a last ditch effort to take Null.

1412
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:45,680
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.

1413
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:47,680
That's a peasant problem.

1414
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,680
They're having a masquerade ball.

1415
01:51:50,680 --> 01:52:05,680
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.

1416
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:22,680
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.

1417
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:31,680
Unfortunately, however, they have captured Lurk and are taking a message out of Thanquil's book.

1418
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:36,680
They write Gatron and Felix their own letter, letting them know.

1419
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:50,680
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.

1420
01:52:50,680 --> 01:53:10,680
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.

1421
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,680
Thank you for the donation. Thank you for the donation. Thank you.

1422
01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:21,680
Thanquil sweeps either way though. He'd find a way. He'd accidentally summon like Mortarion out of the field.

1423
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:25,680
Especially if he's accompanied by Grundlecrust poxlicker.

1424
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:27,680
Oh, that's a starlock.

1425
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:29,680
Grundlecrust poxlicker.

1426
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:31,680
Oh, that's a skin cron.

1427
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:33,680
Good stuff.

1428
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:35,680
Good stuff.

1429
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,680
God, that's a former.

1430
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:47,680
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.

1431
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,680
They probably all have three, dude.

1432
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:56,680
Honestly, yes, Skaven lived for like 13 years, so they might be like three.

1433
01:53:56,680 --> 01:54:10,680
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.

1434
01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:14,680
While saying that the other way around feels wrong.

1435
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:16,680
Felix and Ola.

1436
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:32,680
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.

1437
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:36,680
So now, Nuln is on fire.

1438
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:51,680
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.

1439
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:57,680
And then on the other hand, this whole thing happened because someone ran away and they thought that was the cue to go.

1440
01:54:57,680 --> 01:55:04,680
And also half of the leadership is where it is because the other half of the leadership wants them dead.

1441
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,680
Yeah, fun times.

1442
01:55:07,680 --> 01:55:11,680
Out of the, you know, around the drunken pig.

1443
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:18,680
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.

1444
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:31,680
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.

1445
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:44,680
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.

1446
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,680
I'm afraid I don't remember which one.

1447
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:50,680
I like to think it's another bone ripper because then the count goes up.

1448
01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:53,680
Bone ripper too.

1449
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:56,680
He lived as he died.

1450
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:58,680
Horribly.

1451
01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:07,680
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.

1452
01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:09,680
And then it explodes.

1453
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:12,680
Like that thing in Doom where you put the thing in its mouth and it pops.

1454
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:13,680
Yeah.

1455
01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:15,680
Oh, the like, the ejected mob.

1456
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:19,680
That, but a lot more like accidental than lucky.

1457
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:22,680
Was Than Kul watching through its eyes the whole time?

1458
01:56:22,680 --> 01:56:27,680
No, I don't think you. I think that's later on with Lurk.

1459
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,680
Bone Ripper too, electric boogie. Thank you, Tom Warren.

1460
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:35,680
Also epic cool, epic cool, awesome goblin guy real.

1461
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:38,680
God Teclis is overkill.

1462
01:56:38,680 --> 01:56:41,680
I mean, he's the god of magic by that point.

1463
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:50,680
Good to see you there, buddy. We appreciate the constant support.

1464
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:58,680
One of the Skaven, Null, vile broth Null, is he's brutally beaten down by the mob.

1465
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:00,680
Like they just trample the guy.

1466
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:03,680
It's hard to feel bad for him because he's a Skaven.

1467
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:12,680
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.

1468
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,680
That sounds like an own goal to me.

1469
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,680
It was a bit of an own zone, a self-own.

1470
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:24,680
I'm sad though. He died as he lived, tragically.

1471
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:31,680
Exploding. And then Isaac Grotles, he just dips, he's the only one to get away.

1472
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:35,680
He's carried around by a pallyquin of rats, right?

1473
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:39,680
I believe he is because he's so fat.

1474
01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:42,680
Oh man, the Skaven story is just so good.

1475
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:47,680
I'm debating whether I should go pick up the rest of the entire collection at this point.

1476
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,680
Yes, boy does that.

1477
01:57:50,680 --> 01:58:05,680
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.

1478
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:07,680
So that's fun.

1479
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:14,680
He does get a little bit lucky, however, because he's discovered almost immediately.

1480
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:22,680
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.

1481
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:27,680
No one believes Skaven are real. He's like, that's a good costume of that silly myth.

1482
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:29,680
Nice job, bud.

1483
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:30,680
Oh my god.

1484
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:32,680
So that's how that goes.

1485
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:39,680
Thanquil and the Stormverm do arrive, but because they teleport into the Shitter, they're delayed from reaching all the nobles,

1486
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:44,680
which gives Gotch and Felix enough time to make it before everyone there dies.

1487
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:58,680
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,

1488
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:04,680
except no one understands him, because again, they're drunk and he doesn't speak human very well.

1489
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:08,680
So he just starts murdering people at random with magic.

1490
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:09,680
Bam.

1491
01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:10,680
Oh.

1492
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:12,680
Good ol' Thanquil.

1493
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:14,680
Sounds like something he would do.

1494
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:17,680
I mean, it's what he does. Oh, he also kills Squick.

1495
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:19,680
Aw, no.

1496
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:23,680
He just wanted him dead.

1497
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:25,680
Thank you, Thanquil.

1498
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:29,680
Oh, and also, he's high on Warpstone dust this entire time.

1499
01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:31,680
I was about to say, he's pretty much an addict.

1500
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:36,680
This is regular. He's been ripping lines this whole time.

1501
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:39,680
Oh, yeah.

1502
01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:46,680
Countess Emanuel finally walks forward, just in time for Gotch and Felix to show up.

1503
01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:55,680
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.

1504
01:59:55,680 --> 02:00:04,680
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.

1505
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:07,680
He lived as he lived in the Shazam.

1506
02:00:07,680 --> 02:00:08,680
Yep.

1507
02:00:08,680 --> 02:00:19,680
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.

1508
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:26,680
And when he asks why, Gotrick tells him that only, or Gotrick only says that a mighty doom awaits the pair.

1509
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:33,680
And while I won't spoil much, because this will be for later, the next book is called Demon Slayer.

1510
02:00:33,680 --> 02:00:35,680
Ah, it's a good one.

1511
02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:36,680
Quick question.

1512
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:37,680
And also Thanquil's in it again.

1513
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:48,680
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.

1514
02:00:48,680 --> 02:00:52,680
How does Nolum cover that up afterwards, because obviously seemingly the entire...

1515
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:57,680
Well, I believe Gotch and Felix go back to Nolum at a certain point.

1516
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:05,680
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.

1517
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:09,680
So I think they just kind of describe it as like, it was a beastmen attack.

1518
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:12,680
Ah, they call them, they call them like twisted beastmen, don't they?

1519
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:17,680
Yeah, like that's like the line, like it's just some really messed up beastmen.

1520
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:19,680
Damn.

1521
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:24,680
Is that the, I guess that the thematic end of here, part one, in terms of...

1522
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:34,680
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.

1523
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:44,680
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.

1524
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:48,680
I'd say though, that was a... I'm in.

1525
02:01:48,680 --> 02:01:49,680
I'm so in.

1526
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:51,680
Hell yeah.

1527
02:01:51,680 --> 02:01:59,680
If people have any questions in the chat, feel free to plug in a few last ones before we head off though.

1528
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:02,680
Some closing comments is...

1529
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:03,680
Damn.

1530
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:09,680
The scape and stuff is so top tier, in terms of like the absolute buffoonery.

1531
02:02:09,680 --> 02:02:17,680
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.

1532
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:27,680
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.

1533
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:32,680
Just a little bit of silliness, honestly, makes... even the independent and divine.

1534
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:39,680
I don't know much about it, but from my perspective, it seems like the Orcs in fantasy are a bit less silly.

1535
02:02:39,680 --> 02:02:40,680
Is that correct?

1536
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:47,680
They've still kind of got the colors thing, but it's a lot more limited.

1537
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:52,680
Like blue war paint gives the Orcs physical protection, like that kind of thing.

1538
02:02:52,680 --> 02:03:00,680
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.

1539
02:03:00,680 --> 02:03:06,680
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.

1540
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:10,680
We just want to kill people. They seem a bit more sinister in fantasy.

1541
02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:16,680
A little more terrifying in... Orcs can be terrifying in 40k, but I think they're a little bit more...

1542
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:20,680
Ridgwell just reminding all of us like, yeah, they are still really hard.

1543
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:26,680
Yeah, the Orc holding the person over the fire and laughing is pretty damn scary.

1544
02:03:26,680 --> 02:03:31,680
The Grimgore Ironhide trailer, I think, is like the best way to look at it, because you got the goblin going around like...

1545
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:36,680
He's swatting at a fly, missing it the whole time before Grimgore just snatches it.

1546
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:42,680
And then he's like, we gotta go get the dwarves, the Stumpties and the Boiny Boys.

1547
02:03:42,680 --> 02:03:48,680
And then Grimgore snaps his neck and then a million Orcs are all chanting, like screaming into the air for blood.

1548
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:52,680
We do have a comment, by the way, from Ado Hine just saying,

1549
02:03:52,680 --> 02:04:02,680
At Lorecrimes, what's more dangerous, a Chaos Warrior with the blessing of the gods or a Skaven Slave Rat with a Glock?

1550
02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:04,680
I mean, Colin, 21st.

1551
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:08,680
The Skaven is more dangerous, but mostly only to other Skavens.

1552
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:10,680
Yeah, that's what you're gonna say.

1553
02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:12,680
Ooh, what's this?

1554
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:18,680
If he's near somewhere he shouldn't be though, like if he's accidentally found himself at a...

1555
02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:26,680
I don't know, like the Gnolan Engineering College or a hoard of magical artifacts, everything in that room is going to blow up.

1556
02:04:26,680 --> 02:04:35,680
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...

1557
02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:41,680
I mean, the Skaven is most likely to end up taking itself out rather than actually being successful.

1558
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:43,680
I would probably hold it the wrong way.

1559
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:44,680
I do have a question.

1560
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:48,680
I'm sure you've seen a Skaven picking up and going, huh, you're fighting over it.

1561
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:53,680
I have a question for Colin though, which is, Skaven are, the Menjie are a bit weaker than Men.

1562
02:04:53,680 --> 02:05:01,680
What's the equivalent of, say we're fighting a Skaven, is it like two Skaven to one bloke sort of ratio?

1563
02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:03,680
It depends.

1564
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:07,680
The average Skaven, you could probably take in like three of those things.

1565
02:05:07,680 --> 02:05:13,680
They're malnourished, they're not fed, except for each other, one of them passes out and they'll eat them.

1566
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:17,680
But you do have the comparison of Darktide and Vermintide.

1567
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:21,680
You hit them with a sword, either way, they fall over.

1568
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:23,680
I think it's negligible, well, at least with that comparison.

1569
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:30,680
I was like, oh, you've got a malnourished Skaven or a malnourished Hive citizen.

1570
02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:35,680
There's a lot of protein pace not going around, that's just saying.

1571
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:41,680
I think the Skaven are all like inbred with Warpstone, so they've all got a little bit of crackhead in them.

1572
02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:44,680
And a ton of inbreeding.

1573
02:05:44,680 --> 02:05:47,680
And there's regular inbreeding.

1574
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:50,680
We do have another donation from Tom Warren.

1575
02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:53,680
Thank you again, Tom, very generous tonight.

1576
02:05:53,680 --> 02:06:01,680
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?

1577
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:06,680
Well, I guess technically there's a plot line to that with End Times, but we don't.

1578
02:06:06,680 --> 02:06:08,680
Well deserved.

1579
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:12,680
One of the most enjoyable parts of it is the Skaven uprising.

1580
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:15,680
And it's kind of a go ahead and go home.

1581
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:20,680
The Horned Rats children got what they deserve, rightful Skaven rulership of the world.

1582
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:22,680
Too fair, they conquered the world and they blew up the moon.

1583
02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:24,680
So they did.

1584
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:27,680
What do they throw? They threw the moon at the planet.

1585
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,680
First they pulled it closer to the Earth.

1586
02:06:30,680 --> 02:06:34,680
And then Ikit Klaue wasn't about to be outdone, so he blew it up.

1587
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:38,680
With the help of the Lizardmen, they were trying to blow up the moon or something.

1588
02:06:38,680 --> 02:06:40,680
No, the Lizardmen were trying to...

1589
02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:43,680
The Lizardmen had a big shield, I think, to not get blown up by the moon.

1590
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:46,680
I think Lord Croak was doing crazy stuff.

1591
02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:53,680
Yeah, the blowing up the moon, that was all Skaven, maybe 110%.

1592
02:06:53,680 --> 02:07:02,680
We have some more questions here, which is, someone says, when's the Kyphus Kane Nurgle Demon iceberg?

1593
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:06,680
That's a deep cut from way back in the day, isn't it?

1594
02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:09,680
That's an episode one or two.

1595
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:13,680
I literally didn't know what you were talking about for a second.

1596
02:07:13,680 --> 02:07:17,680
Too fair, we could do a Kyphus Kane at some point.

1597
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:23,680
I've got all these books on Audible, but I haven't started them yet, just because it's going to be a task.

1598
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:24,680
There's a lot to go through.

1599
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:28,680
I think Colin has definitely read all of them.

1600
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:30,680
He's read all of them.

1601
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:34,680
Between Gaunt and Kyphus, that's like 30 books.

1602
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:40,680
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.

1603
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:44,680
I think it's like the third omnibus in the series.

1604
02:07:44,680 --> 02:07:55,680
Oh my god, someone says, at Lore Crimes, would you greenlight a version of Skaven Slayer where Fanko has a 500 S&W magnum?

1605
02:07:55,680 --> 02:07:57,680
Yes.

1606
02:07:57,680 --> 02:07:59,680
Oh no.

1607
02:07:59,680 --> 02:08:06,680
EpicCoolGoblinGuy says, when everyone's arguing about who won the end times, but you're a Skaven player.

1608
02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:08,680
Skaven won.

1609
02:08:08,680 --> 02:08:09,680
Relatable.

1610
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:10,680
CrimsonGlory again.

1611
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:11,680
Thank you, bro.

1612
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:13,680
Thank you so much.

1613
02:08:13,680 --> 02:08:19,680
CrimsonGlory says, I will literally pay for Andy to do a Skaven version of Necronovember.

1614
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:22,680
I want to see more from the 20th.

1615
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:25,680
Alpha Legion, I take that, in 40k.

1616
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:26,680
Thanks so much, everyone.

1617
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:27,680
Thank you, CrimsonGlory.

1618
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:29,680
24legions is getting slim pickings.

1619
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:31,680
I've done most of their characters now.

1620
02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:33,680
There's not much left.

1621
02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:40,680
I have been tempted to do fantasy at some point, maybe a one-off month here and there of doing just characters.

1622
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:42,680
But right now I've still got a lot of 40k.

1623
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:45,680
I'm trying to get through the 40k buffet.

1624
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:50,680
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.

1625
02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:51,680
But we'll see.

1626
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:56,680
I've had a few requests of someone on my thing saying, can you do a Fanko?

1627
02:08:56,680 --> 02:08:58,680
And again, that'll be a long video.

1628
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:00,680
That'll be a long video.

1629
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:02,680
You should do Sigwald.

1630
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:03,680
Oh, god.

1631
02:09:03,680 --> 02:09:06,680
I'm trying to get demonetized, basically.

1632
02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:08,680
The channel deleter.

1633
02:09:08,680 --> 02:09:11,680
End time Sigwald's story is so sad.

1634
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:12,680
He deserved it.

1635
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:13,680
I think he deserved it.

1636
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:15,680
Yeah, he deserved it.

1637
02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:17,680
Thraut's cool.

1638
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:18,680
Yeah.

1639
02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:22,680
He did not need to piss on his corpse, but you know, it's fine.

1640
02:09:22,680 --> 02:09:23,680
I mean, he's...

1641
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:24,680
It's called BM.

1642
02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:27,680
It's like Fortnite dancing.

1643
02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:30,680
Sigwald literally got Fortnite emoted on, dude.

1644
02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:31,680
As long as it's at Lorecrimes.

1645
02:09:31,680 --> 02:09:34,680
When are we getting an Eldar lore video?

1646
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:36,680
Let Colin talk about the best faction.

1647
02:09:36,680 --> 02:09:41,680
There's already enough Eldar propaganda on this.

1648
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:45,680
We did have a quiz recently, so there was that.

1649
02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:47,680
It will be another five months.

1650
02:09:47,680 --> 02:09:49,680
We can do a proper episode, to be fair.

1651
02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:54,680
We've done some stuff before, but we might want to cover it in the format live.

1652
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:57,680
When do Eldar even get their codex?

1653
02:09:57,680 --> 02:09:59,680
Maybe when the codex comes out.

1654
02:09:59,680 --> 02:10:00,680
We'll try and time it.

1655
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:03,680
Two weeks before 11th.

1656
02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:05,680
Sounds about right.

1657
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:06,680
Too vague.

1658
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:08,680
Now's a good time to wonder.

1659
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:14,680
As of time of recording, there's a mystery codex on the roster.

1660
02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:15,680
Coming new faction?

1661
02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:19,680
Yeah, we don't quite know what it is yet.

1662
02:10:19,680 --> 02:10:21,680
If it's not Emperor's Children, I'm going to be so...

1663
02:10:21,680 --> 02:10:23,680
It might not be a new faction.

1664
02:10:23,680 --> 02:10:25,680
Space gaven, space gaven.

1665
02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:32,680
I wouldn't put it past UW to absolutely pull the rug out of us and just make a new faction that nobody wanted.

1666
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:33,680
Again, again.

1667
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:35,680
They still got to fix Votan, though.

1668
02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:36,680
I'm just playing Sixth Edition right now, anyways.

1669
02:10:36,680 --> 02:10:37,680
Do not say it again.

1670
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:39,680
Listen, leagues of Votan could have just...

1671
02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:41,680
It could have been an ally thing.

1672
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:45,680
An ally contingent of Imperial Guard and Space Marines.

1673
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:46,680
Come on.

1674
02:10:46,680 --> 02:10:47,680
No, no.

1675
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:49,680
Stop giving the Space Marines more talk.

1676
02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:54,680
I just want an administration faction where you have to buy a clipboard with your army and you have to pull it.

1677
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:55,680
That's all I want.

1678
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:56,680
That's all I want.

1679
02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:58,680
Someone says justice for Bone Ripper.

1680
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:00,680
It doesn't happen.

1681
02:11:00,680 --> 02:11:04,680
Even I haven't read all the books, but I know that doesn't happen.

1682
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:07,680
Bone Ripper 5000 is just as good as the first one.

1683
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:09,680
Space Danko with a steel chair.

1684
02:11:09,680 --> 02:11:12,680
Someone said I listen to Elf Slayer.

1685
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,680
I actually, yeah, I've listened to that one actually.

1686
02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:17,680
There's a very cool...

1687
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:20,680
No, I know some of you may disagree.

1688
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:22,680
I'm not going to say...

1689
02:11:22,680 --> 02:11:24,680
There's a very cool high elf in it.

1690
02:11:24,680 --> 02:11:28,680
A certain someone shows up.

1691
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:30,680
But we...

1692
02:11:30,680 --> 02:11:31,680
Oh, no, that's a different book.

1693
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:35,680
To be fair, we will probably cover more of God Dragon Felix if you guys...

1694
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:36,680
He made this far, to be fair.

1695
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:37,680
I do like the stream.

1696
02:11:37,680 --> 02:11:38,680
There's a lot to cover.

1697
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:40,680
Yeah, but we obviously...

1698
02:11:40,680 --> 02:11:42,680
If it's enjoyed, we will deliver.

1699
02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:44,680
And I think with that, though,

1700
02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:49,680
is there anything else anyone wants to add before we finish it there?

1701
02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:51,680
Yeah, I think that's it.

1702
02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:53,680
Thank you guys so much for the donations.

1703
02:11:53,680 --> 02:11:54,680
Thank you very much.

1704
02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:55,680
Thank you.

1705
02:11:55,680 --> 02:11:56,680
Hope you enjoyed this.

1706
02:11:56,680 --> 02:12:00,680
Again, Colin did a big showing here of lots of God Dragon Felix.

1707
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:02,680
So thank you very much for that.

1708
02:12:02,680 --> 02:12:05,680
I'm happy you guys talk about God Dragon Felix today.

1709
02:12:05,680 --> 02:12:06,680
Yes, we get the opportunity.

1710
02:12:06,680 --> 02:12:12,680
Again, the return of the Old World as of time recording is kind of around the corner.

1711
02:12:12,680 --> 02:12:17,680
So if you guys want to see it again, it's the revival, hopefully.

1712
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:18,680
Maybe.

1713
02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:19,680
It's going to be Space Marine 2.

1714
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:23,680
Listen, when we're all 45, which is sooner for some of us,

1715
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:29,680
we will hopefully have the Old World return.

1716
02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:33,680
What's going on over there?

1717
02:12:33,680 --> 02:12:36,680
That was so funny.

1718
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:38,680
And yeah, hopefully.

1719
02:12:38,680 --> 02:12:41,680
So if you guys want to see more of it, just let us know.

1720
02:12:41,680 --> 02:12:44,680
And thank you so much for watching, for listening.

1721
02:12:44,680 --> 02:12:47,680
And we know you added more names to the disk.

1722
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:48,680
There's more names.

1723
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:49,680
So we end with more.

1724
02:12:49,680 --> 02:12:51,680
Should we end with the last reading?

1725
02:12:51,680 --> 02:12:52,680
I had a freeze.

1726
02:12:52,680 --> 02:12:54,680
Do you want to do you want to mention one each?

1727
02:12:54,680 --> 02:12:57,680
So like how Colin and Eli, you picked the last three.

1728
02:12:57,680 --> 02:12:59,680
Is it the last three on that list?

1729
02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:00,680
Yeah.

1730
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:03,680
So the last three.

1731
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:05,680
Mold, snort, ooze, gongler.

1732
02:13:05,680 --> 02:13:07,680
Yuck.

1733
02:13:07,680 --> 02:13:11,680
Scab drip clammy piss.

1734
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:16,680
And Toeflake fungal pop.

1735
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:20,680
So all the defog players, you can use any of them if you want.

1736
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:22,680
They work as well for either.

1737
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:24,680
Thank you so much for listening, people.

1738
02:13:24,680 --> 02:13:30,680
And we'll see you guys on the next one.
