Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Hello friends from across the nation and around the world.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories.
- 0:14Speaker 1: And tonight, we're going back into one of the most
- 0:17Speaker 1: requested worlds I have, Wizardcraft. Wizardcraft 3.0 to be exact.
- 0:25Speaker 1: And in order to do that, we're obviously going to
- 0:28Speaker 1: need a suggestion.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Hi, I would like to suggest a story for the
- 0:35Speaker 2: Wizardcraft 3.0 series. My name is Henry, and here's my idea.
- 0:40Speaker 2: So I want the Godzilla, a giant dino, to attack
- 0:46Speaker 2: at your village with the Golem King, and then you
- 0:53Speaker 2: find out that the Godzilla dino is under mine control,
- 0:58Speaker 2: and then you free him, and then he... He becomes
- 1:02Speaker 2: your friend because he felt like he needs to repay
- 1:09Speaker 2: the favor of freeing him. And he thinks he's forever
- 1:13Speaker 2: in debt. And he becomes one of your best friends.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Bye.
- 1:17Speaker 2: I love your podcast. Also, the giant dino can speak telepathically.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Well, Henry, that's an excellent idea. So excellent that I
- 1:28Speaker 1: knew I was going to pick this episode or this
- 1:31Speaker 1: suggestion next a little while ago. And I even did
- 1:35Speaker 1: some foreshadowing for it. Not sure if you noticed that. Anyways,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I just want to give a big thank you to
- 1:42Speaker 1: everyone who's been listening to the podcast. Those of you
- 1:44Speaker 1: who've been rating it and reviewing it, wherever it is
- 1:47Speaker 1: you're listening. I really, really appreciate it. And... Thank you
- 1:52Speaker 1: to those of you who let me know that there
- 1:54Speaker 1: was like an advertisement with an alarm clock going off
- 1:58Speaker 1: in the podcast. Just to explain, ads are kind of
- 2:03Speaker 1: automatically inserted. So it's not like the company decided, I
- 2:08Speaker 1: want to go on a bedtime podcast and put an
- 2:10Speaker 1: alarm clock on there. It was really just that their
- 2:16Speaker 1: ad got automatically put on a bunch of podcasts that
- 2:19Speaker 1: might relate to it. But I have reported that one
- 2:24Speaker 1: so we can block any alarm clock sounds. It may
- 2:27Speaker 1: not be active right away to be blocked. So I'm
- 2:30Speaker 1: really sorry if you got another alarm clock in a
- 2:33Speaker 1: mattress advertisement. But it should be gone soon. And thank
- 2:38Speaker 1: you to those of you who let me know it
- 2:39Speaker 1: was happening. Because as you know, I don't directly select
- 2:44Speaker 1: the ads and decide where they're put on. So I
- 2:47Speaker 1: appreciate it. And speaking of ads... we have them because
- 2:52Speaker 1: they financially support the podcast, but I'm also very passionate
- 2:56Speaker 1: to make sure you have a way to have ad-free episodes. So,
- 3:01Speaker 1: for as little as $ 1 a month, you can get
- 3:04Speaker 1: the podcast completely ad-free through Patreon. You get a private
- 3:09Speaker 1: RSS feed that can be on a host of your choice,
- 3:13Speaker 1: for example, like you can upload it to Spotify and
- 3:16Speaker 1: that sort of thing, but that one doesn't come with
- 3:18Speaker 1: any ads, other than when I ramble on about things myself,
- 3:23Speaker 1: but no insert it adds. Now, it's that time again.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Time to get as comfy as you can in that bed,
- 3:32Speaker 1: close your eyes, and imagine yourself doing what the kid
- 3:37Speaker 1: in the story does. You wake up to a familiar
- 3:43Speaker 1: set of words floating in front of your eyes. Wake up?
- 3:48Speaker 1: You mentally select yes, and the world slowly forms around you.
- 3:55Speaker 1: You're lying in your bed inside your house in the
- 3:59Speaker 1: unnamed mountain village. Beside you, your emerald cad golem is
- 4:05Speaker 1: curled up near the end of the bed, and beside you,
- 4:10Speaker 1: both JD and Grayson are waking up as well. Congratulations!

- 5:44Speaker 1: Gary the Golem King. The screen flashes and the voice reappears. Congratulations!
- 5:53Speaker 1: Your continued magical development and the growth of your settlement
- 5:58Speaker 1: have increased your level. You have reached level 9. New
- 6:04Speaker 1: skill point awarded. You now have 3 unused skill points. Three,
- 6:13Speaker 1: you say? You almost opened the skill menu.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Almost.
- 6:19Speaker 1: But again, the last few times you waited until you
- 6:22Speaker 1: knew what you needed, it turned out a lot better.
- 6:26Speaker 1: You decide to continue with that strategy and dismiss the screen.
- 6:32Speaker 1: The emerald cat golem lifts its head and someone starts
- 6:36Speaker 1: hammering on your front door. Sire, it's... It's an emergency! You, JD,
- 6:45Speaker 1: and Grayson all immediately jump out of your beds. Your
- 6:49Speaker 1: armor forms around you as you rush across the room
- 6:53Speaker 1: and throw the door open. A young man wearing the
- 6:57Speaker 1: village guard armor is standing outside, completely out of breath.
- 7:03Speaker 1: The golem king's army, he says. They're approaching from the
- 7:11Speaker 1: Eastern Valley! Your stomach drops. How far? Minutes, maybe, maybe less.
- 7:22Speaker 1: You turn towards the emerald cat golem and, well, your
- 7:26Speaker 1: two friends. Come on, everyone. The three of you, or
- 7:31Speaker 1: four of you with the cat, run out the door
- 7:34Speaker 1: straight toward the town hall. People are already moving through
- 7:38Speaker 1: the streets. Guards are shouting instructions. Copper golems are rolling
- 7:44Speaker 1: toward the walls. Iron golems are marching in groups. You
- 7:49Speaker 1: race through the front doors of the town hall where
- 7:53Speaker 1: Gus is waiting. I believe it's happening, Gus says. I know.
- 8:01Speaker 1: You look around at the three of them. Then you
- 8:05Speaker 1: remember the netherite. and that wildly full feeling inside your, eh,
- 8:12Speaker 1: your inventory. We can't waste another second. You reach into
- 8:18Speaker 1: your inventory and release the three large piles of dark
- 8:22Speaker 1: metal onto the floor. Grayson's eyes widen. Then no, World Netherite. Exactly.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I'm teaching all three of you the spell.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Now. Now.
- 8:38Speaker 1: You start with JD, placing your hands against his temples
- 8:43Speaker 1: and closing your eyes. You remember the incredible heat, the lava,
- 8:49Speaker 1: the feeling of netherite refusing to bend until it's surrounded
- 8:54Speaker 1: by temperatures hot enough to soften almost anything else. You
- 9:00Speaker 1: remember forming enormous limbs and forcing life into nearly indestructible bodies.
- 9:09Speaker 1: The memories flow into JD. When you step back, he
- 9:14Speaker 1: stares at the netherite. I understand. And I better take
- 9:22Speaker 1: this to the mines where there's some lava. He quickly
- 9:26Speaker 1: gathers a section of the netherite into his inventory and
- 9:30Speaker 1: runs out the door. You repeat the process with Gus,
- 9:35Speaker 1: then Grayson. Upon finishing, you order each of them out
- 9:41Speaker 1: of the door, up to the mines where there's a
- 9:45Speaker 1: large section of lava deep below. The perfect space to
- 9:50Speaker 1: create and spawn a netherite golem. They'll, of course, have
- 9:56Speaker 1: to use their mech suits and work together to fly
- 9:59Speaker 1: the thing. back out of the cavern, but it should
- 10:02Speaker 1: be doable in a short-ish period of time. In the meantime,
- 10:09Speaker 1: you begin gathering golems and giving them orders. It turns
- 10:15Speaker 1: out that most of it can happen mentally. at least
- 10:19Speaker 1: to the golems that you already control. Gather at the walls,
- 10:25Speaker 1: you say. Defend the village. Tell the townspeople to get ready.
- 10:32Speaker 1: The golems all begin to gather. The townspeople start climbing
- 10:38Speaker 1: into the newly made mechs that Grayson created, and all
- 10:43Speaker 1: of you move toward the town gates. At this point,
- 10:49Speaker 1: You've gathered and created a lot of golems, with the
- 10:53Speaker 1: help of sharing the spell with your friends and townspeople.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You have a veritable army of stone golems. A similar
- 11:03Speaker 1: number of copper golems, though their combat ability isn't wildly high.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Then you have groups of golden golems that can change shapes.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Diamond golems that are wildly powerful. a few of them
- 11:20Speaker 1: infused with laser shooting ability, and, of course, a couple
- 11:26Speaker 1: emerald cat golems that sprint over the rooftops and surround
- 11:30Speaker 1: the village. There are more than you can easily count.
- 11:36Speaker 1: And before long, you hear the enormous netherite golems climbing
- 11:43Speaker 1: down the stairs from the mines to join your netherite
- 11:48Speaker 1: golem They tower above almost everything else. Grayson looks out
- 11:56Speaker 1: at the army. Sharing those spells was probably the smartest
- 12:02Speaker 1: thing you ever did. Then, you hear mechanical footsteps as
- 12:08Speaker 1: the people begin arriving inside their diamond golem mech suits.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Village guards, hunters, miners, and... anyone else that had even
- 12:21Speaker 1: a little inclination to fight and defend the village. They
- 12:26Speaker 1: connect to them using the neural systems, making themselves and
- 12:32Speaker 1: the mechs, well, one. Realizing that you, Grayson, JD, and
- 12:39Speaker 1: Gus are the only ones not in mech suits, you
- 12:43Speaker 1: produce yours from your inventory. It opens up and you
- 12:48Speaker 1: climb inside. Your friends do the same. The neural connector
- 12:54Speaker 1: touches the back of your head, and instantly, you become enormous.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Your mechanical fingers flex. Your shoulder lasers move with your eyes. JD, Grayson,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and Gus do the same. Too bad theirs can't all fly,
- 13:15Speaker 1: JD says. Looking at the other mechs, eh, not enough
- 13:19Speaker 1: netherite to upgrade them. Grayson answers, well, we always need
- 13:25Speaker 1: goals for the future. You look toward the gate. Close it,
- 13:31Speaker 1: you order. Iron golems drag the enormous doors shut. Stone
- 13:38Speaker 1: braces slam into place. Then everything becomes quiet. Until you
- 13:47Speaker 1: start to hear... Boom. Boom. Something enormous is coming. Something
- 13:58Speaker 1: that shakes the ground itself. You activate your jets and
- 14:03Speaker 1: rise up above the wall. JD and Grayson follow. And then...
- 14:12Speaker 1: You see it. The dinosaur... The gigantic Godzilla-like creature towering
- 14:21Speaker 1: above the trees. Its body is covered in scars and
- 14:25Speaker 1: pieces of armor. Each step shakes the valley. And standing
- 14:32Speaker 1: directly on top of its head is Gary, the Golem King.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Behind him marches an entire army. Hundreds of stone golems,
- 14:47Speaker 1: lines of iron golems, copper golems, and even several diamond golems.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You stare. For someone called the Golem King, you almost
- 15:01Speaker 1: expected more of the advanced ones. But then you realize something.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Gary's probably been creating most of them himself for years.
- 15:14Speaker 1: One stone golem per day, one iron golem per week,
- 15:20Speaker 1: diamond even less often. You, on the other hand, shared
- 15:26Speaker 1: your magic. He wanted to keep the power for himself.
- 15:32Speaker 1: And somehow, that's made your village stronger than his army.
- 15:39Speaker 1: At least the ones he brought with him. Gary raises
- 15:43Speaker 1: a staff. His voice magically blasts across the valley. Surrender!
- 15:52Speaker 1: Nobody responds. Order your golems to stand down. They belong
- 15:59Speaker 1: under the command of the golem king. Hand them over.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Surrender your village. And perhaps I will allow you to
- 16:09Speaker 1: remain here. You hover above the wall. Never. Gary's expression darkens.
- 16:20Speaker 1: So be it. He lowers his staff. Attack! The valley
- 16:29Speaker 1: explodes into motion. Stone golems charge first. Hundreds of them
- 16:35Speaker 1: slam into the front lines of your army with a
- 16:39Speaker 1: sound like an avalanche. Rock fists smash into rock bodies.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Stone arms break away, heads crack apart, golems burst into
- 16:52Speaker 1: puffs of cloud and loot. But almost immediately, you see
- 16:58Speaker 1: the difference between Gary's army and yours. Your golden golems
- 17:04Speaker 1: flow through the battlefield like liquid. One turns both arms
- 17:09Speaker 1: into enormous blades and slices through three enemy stone golems
- 17:14Speaker 1: in a single spinning attack. Another forms its hands into
- 17:19Speaker 1: giant hammers and smashes an iron golem from both sides.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Your diamond golem simply walks straight through the fighting. One
- 17:30Speaker 1: enemy stone golem jumps onto the diamond's back. The diamond
- 17:35Speaker 1: golem reaches behind itself, grabs the stone creature, and throws
- 17:40Speaker 1: it into two others. All three explode in a puff
- 17:44Speaker 1: of smoke, leaving behind loot. Then, the netherite golems arrive.
- 17:53Speaker 1: One swings an enormous arm through a group of stone golems,
- 17:58Speaker 1: and five of them disappear at once. Another grabs an
- 18:02Speaker 1: iron golem in each hand and smashes them together. Even
- 18:07Speaker 1: Gary's diamond golems hesitate when the gigantic black creatures approach.
- 18:13Speaker 1: And from the walls, fire. Dozens of shoulder lasers glow red.
- 18:20Speaker 1: The villagers inside their mech suits unleash a storm of
- 18:25Speaker 1: laser fire. Beams rip across the battlefield. Stone golems despawn.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Iron golems disappear. Copper golems roll desperately between blasts. You
- 18:41Speaker 1: hover above everything else inside your flying mech suit. We're winning,
- 18:49Speaker 1: JD says. Yeah, Grayson answers. We're actually winning pretty easily.
- 18:56Speaker 1: You look toward Gary. He doesn't look worried. Which is
- 19:01Speaker 1: probably not good. Gary raises his staff. The dinosaur roars.
- 19:08Speaker 1: The sound's so loud you feel it through the mech suit. Then,
- 19:13Speaker 1: it charges. Oh no. The creature slams into the battlefield
- 19:21Speaker 1: and stone golems fly everywhere. Your stone golems. Its enormous
- 19:28Speaker 1: foot comes down and crushes an entire group of them.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Its tail sweeps through the valley and sends two iron
- 19:36Speaker 1: golems and a golden golem flying through the air. Focus
- 19:41Speaker 1: on the dinosaur, you yell to your friends. You blast forward. JD, Grayson,
- 19:49Speaker 1: and Gus follow. All eight of your shoulder lasers fire.
- 19:55Speaker 1: The beams slam directly into the dinosaur's chest, but it
- 20:00Speaker 1: barely reacts. JD throws both mechanical hands forward. Lightning explodes
- 20:08Speaker 1: from his fingertips. Crack. The dinosaur roars but continues moving.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Grayson fires lasers into its legs. You create a massive
- 20:20Speaker 1: concentrated fireball between your hands and launch it directly at
- 20:25Speaker 1: the creature's head. There's a boom. Smoke covers its head,
- 20:31Speaker 1: and for a second you think it might have worked.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Then the dinosaur bursts through the smoke, apparently unfazed. The
- 20:41Speaker 1: enormous creature reaches the village wall. One foot rises, oh no,
- 20:49Speaker 1: and slams down. The stone wall breaks beneath it. Blocks
- 20:55Speaker 1: explode inward. Copper golems immediately begin rolling away from the
- 21:00Speaker 1: collapsing section. The dinosaur takes another step into the village.
- 21:07Speaker 1: You reach out with telekinesis and push against its chest
- 21:11Speaker 1: with everything you have. Your mana bar starts to drop rapidly,
- 21:17Speaker 1: but the dinosaur slows. How is it so strong? Then
- 21:25Speaker 1: you notice Gary. He's still standing on the dinosaur's head.
- 21:31Speaker 1: His eyes are closed, his hands are gripping his staff,
- 21:35Speaker 1: and Every time he concentrates, the dinosaur moves. He's not
- 21:44Speaker 1: using any of his other powers. He's too focused on
- 21:50Speaker 1: the dinosaur. You think about the creature and something inside
- 21:57Speaker 1: your mind snaps into place. The animal control spell. You've
- 22:05Speaker 1: feel something. Some sort of connection between the dinosaur and Gary.
- 22:14Speaker 1: He's controlling it. What? JD asks. Gary is using some
- 22:21Speaker 1: sort of animal control spell to control the dinosaur. You
- 22:27Speaker 1: immediately open your skill menu. The battlefield seems to slow
- 22:32Speaker 1: around you. Three unused skill points. You mentally search for
- 22:40Speaker 1: some sort of animal control spell tree, and an ability
- 22:45Speaker 1: glows in place. The first section of it reads, Animal
- 22:52Speaker 1: Handler improves your ability to communicate with and control ordinary animals.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Obviously that won't be enough, but You select it in
- 23:05Speaker 1: order to unlock the higher powers. Animal control skill level
- 23:11Speaker 1: one unlocked. Animal handler. The next skill appears. Beastmaster. Beastmaster
- 23:21Speaker 1: allows control of larger, stronger, more intelligent, and more magical creatures.
- 23:30Speaker 1: You quickly select it. Animal control skill level 2 unlocked. Beastmaster. Then,
- 23:40Speaker 1: the third appears. You read it carefully. Dominance Breaker. Allows
- 23:47Speaker 1: you to seize control of an animal already under magical influence.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Provided your animal control skill and your willpower... is higher
- 24:00Speaker 1: than that of the existing controller. That's exactly what I need.
- 24:07Speaker 1: You select it. Animal control skill level three, unlocked. Dominance breaker.
- 24:15Speaker 1: The world speeds up again as you release the menu.
- 24:20Speaker 1: You reach out with your mind and suddenly, you're somewhere else.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Not physically... Physically, you're still floating in the air in
- 24:31Speaker 1: front of the giant dinosaur, but mentally, you feel as
- 24:36Speaker 1: though you're inside the dinosaur's mind. You can feel its anger,
- 24:43Speaker 1: its fear, its confusion, and underneath all of it, Gary, yelling, attack,
- 24:54Speaker 1: mentally speaking anyways. The command slams through the dinosaur's mind,
- 25:01Speaker 1: and you mentally push back with, Stop! For a second,
- 25:06Speaker 1: the dinosaur freezes. Gary's eyes snap open, and he looks
- 25:11Speaker 1: directly at you. Then, he focuses once again. His voice
- 25:17Speaker 1: enters the creature's mind. Obey me! The dinosaur takes another step,
- 25:25Speaker 1: but you push harder. Stop! Its foot freezes mid-air. Your
- 25:32Speaker 1: head begins to ache. Gary is strong, but you can
- 25:38Speaker 1: sense that his animal control ability isn't as powerful as yours.
- 25:45Speaker 1: You push deeper, past his command's Past the fear until
- 25:51Speaker 1: you reach the center of the dinosaur's mind itself. Can
- 25:57Speaker 1: you hear me? You ask, and the voice answers inside
- 26:01Speaker 1: your mind. Yes. You almost lose concentration. You can talk? Yes. Please,
- 26:14Speaker 1: make him stop. Gary pushes again.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Destroy them!
- 26:22Speaker 1: You feel his magic slam into yours. Your mind battles
- 26:28Speaker 1: against his inside the dinosaur. Gary commands. You resist. Gary pushes.
- 26:37Speaker 1: You push back. And then you gather every bit of
- 26:43Speaker 1: concentration you can. and you force Gary's mind out of
- 26:49Speaker 1: the dinosaur. Get out, you shout, and something snaps. The
- 26:58Speaker 1: dinosaur's eyes flash. Gary stumbles backward on its head. What? No!
- 27:06Speaker 1: You feel the connection change completely. The dinosaur is yours.
- 27:14Speaker 1: You issue a command. Turn around. And slowly, the dinosaur turns.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Gary looks down.
- 27:24Speaker 2: What?
- 27:25Speaker 1: What are you doing? The dinosaur swings its head violently,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and Gary flies off through the air. At the last second,
- 27:36Speaker 1: he grabs his staff, and it begins glowing beneath him.
- 27:40Speaker 1: It shoots into the air like some sort of magical
- 27:44Speaker 1: flying broom. Retreat, Gary screams, and the remaining golems begin
- 27:53Speaker 1: backing away. Even Gary can tell that he has no
- 27:57Speaker 1: chance in this battle without the dinosaur. The dinosaur roars
- 28:03Speaker 1: and charges. It smashes through a group of enemy stone golems.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Its tail crushes an iron one, and one of Gary's
- 28:14Speaker 1: remaining diamond golems tries to block its path. The dinosaur
- 28:20Speaker 1: simply steps on it. It disappears with a crunch and
- 28:24Speaker 1: a puff of smoke, leaving behind a little pile of diamond.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Gary flies above the trees. He turns around on the staff.
- 28:36Speaker 1: and fires a bolt of lightning behind him. You dodge
- 28:40Speaker 1: to the side as the blast streaks past. This isn't over,
- 28:46Speaker 1: he yells, and then disappears into the distance. For several seconds,
- 28:54Speaker 1: nobody moves, and then someone cheers. Another person joins in.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Within minutes, the entire village erupts. You land in the
- 29:07Speaker 1: middle of the battlefield. JD and Grayson land beside you.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Your golems stand surrounded by piles of loot. Iron, stone, copper, gold,
- 29:20Speaker 1: even diamond. You look toward the army. Focusing on the
- 29:27Speaker 1: fighting type golems. You know, the stone, iron, gold, diamond, emerald.
- 29:36Speaker 1: You command, collect everything useful and bring it to the
- 29:40Speaker 1: town hall. Hundreds of golems immediately get to work, collecting
- 29:46Speaker 1: the loot from the battlefield. You look towards the copper
- 29:50Speaker 1: golems next. You guys start to rebuild this wall. Understood.
- 29:58Speaker 1: The copper golems respond and immediately get to work. Then
- 30:04Speaker 1: you look up, way up at the dinosaur. It's standing
- 30:11Speaker 1: completely still, waiting for your command. You frown.
- 30:17Speaker 3: No.
- 30:19Speaker 2: What?
- 30:20Speaker 1: JD asks. This isn't right. You close your eyes and
- 30:26Speaker 1: connect to the dinosaur again. I took control because I
- 30:31Speaker 1: had to stop Gary, but I'm not going to keep
- 30:35Speaker 1: controlling you. The dinosaur seems surprised. You are releasing me. Yes,
- 30:46Speaker 1: you respond, and you let go completely. The magical connection disappears.
- 30:56Speaker 1: For a moment, you wonder if you've made a terrible mistake.
- 31:01Speaker 1: The dinosaur lowers its enormous head until one gigantic eye
- 31:06Speaker 1: is looking directly at you. Then, its mouth opens. Thank you.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Everyone freezes. JD slowly looks toward you. It can actually
- 31:23Speaker 1: talk apparently the dinosaur continues that man controlled me for
- 31:32Speaker 1: a very long time.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I could see what I was doing I could feel
- 31:41Speaker 4: it but I could not stop you don't have to
- 31:46Speaker 4: worry about him anymore the dinosaur lifts its head You
- 31:53Speaker 4: freed me when you could have simply taken his place.
- 31:59Speaker 1: It looks toward the damaged village.
- 32:03Speaker 4: For that, I will always be a friend to this place.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Its protector. You don't owe us anything, you respond. Perhaps not.
- 32:20Speaker 1: The dinosaur turns toward the mountains. But if you ever
- 32:26Speaker 1: need me, call. I will come. Where are you going,
- 32:33Speaker 1: you ask? Somewhere quiet. I believe I could use a rest. Honestly,
- 32:45Speaker 1: you feel the same way. The dinosaur slowly disappears toward
- 32:51Speaker 1: the mountain that wraps around your village. You make your
- 32:56Speaker 1: way back inside the wall. You deactivate your mech suit
- 33:02Speaker 1: and climb outside. The people are beginning to celebrate. Tables
- 33:10Speaker 1: are dragged out of the town hall into the town square.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Food starts to appear. People begin playing music, and someone
- 33:21Speaker 1: lights a gigantic bonfire. For the first time in what
- 33:26Speaker 1: feels like forever, nobody is preparing for something terrible. They won.
- 33:34Speaker 1: You won. Hours later, when the celebration finally starts to
- 33:39Speaker 1: quiet down, you make your way back towards your house.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Your emerald cat golem follows beside you in cat form.
- 33:49Speaker 1: You open the door, drop onto your bed, and a
- 33:53Speaker 1: familiar prompt appears. Sleep? You mentally select yes. Instantly, your
- 34:02Speaker 1: muscles begin to relax. Your arms and legs sink into
- 34:08Speaker 1: the mattress. Outside, the village is already rebuilding. Gary's army is, well, retreating.
- 34:19Speaker 1: And somewhere in the mountains, a gigantic dinosaur is sleeping
- 34:24Speaker 1: peacefully for the first time in a very long while.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Your eyes close, and your mind begins to drift off
- 34:35Speaker 1: towards thoughts of new spells, new worlds, and whatever Gary
- 34:42Speaker 1: might try next. Goodnight, everyone.
