- 0:10JarJim: Hello weary traveler.
- 0:12JarJim: I'm not sure what strange magic
- 0:14JarJim: must have brought you here, but
- 0:15JarJim: you have stepped into a realm of
- 0:17JarJim: my creation.
- 0:19JarJim: A sprawling city filled with danger and glory.
- 0:22JarJim: And most importantly, lots of gold.
- 0:25JarJim: I call it Island Dumas.
- 0:28JarJim: Who am I?
- 0:28JarJim: You might ask?
- 0:30JarJim: The name is Jojo and I'm the patron deity of gambling.
- 0:34JarJim: Long story short, this group of idiots, or as you may call them
- 0:39JarJim: heroes, made a bet with me that they had what it took to make a
- 0:42JarJim: vast trove of gold, but left some of the key details blank,
- 0:47JarJim: so I filled them in myself.
- 0:49JarJim: I sent them to this pocket dimension into the city I had
- 0:53JarJim: created with brand new bodies they'd have to attune to.
- 0:57JarJim: Can these fools passed my test?
- 1:00JarJim: Or will they be trapped here forever?
- 1:02JarJim: So experience my world of trials
- 1:05JarJim: and tribulations and join
- 1:07JarJim: alongside this posse of pitiful
- 1:09JarJim: people.
- 1:10JarJim: Or as I like to call them, the criminals of Illinois.

- 2:18Dave (Maki): He's nuts.
- 2:18Dave (Maki): Dang it!
- 2:19Dave (Maki): I fell for it.
- 2:20Dave (Maki): I fell for it!
- 2:21Skyler: Oh, man.
- 2:21Skyler: We set it up too well.
- 2:23Skyler: Next.
- 2:24Skyler: And next up, we've got Quinn, who is playing Lil Sauce.
- 2:27Dave (Maki): That's right.
- 2:28Dave (Maki): We are playing Lil Source.

- 2:33Dave (Maki): The voices.
- 2:34Dave (Maki): We.
- 2:34Dave (Maki): We. The royal, we.
- 2:36Skyler: Man. You know.
- 2:37Dave (Maki): No. I feel like what they call their bathroom.
- 2:39Dave (Maki): We're different.
- 2:40Dave (Maki): But we are one royal.
- 2:41Dave (Maki): We.
- 2:43Skyler: That's pretty good.
- 2:44Skyler: Um, and then last but not least, Jackson is gone.
- 2:48Skyler: He normally would be here to play des.
- 2:50Skyler: Whoa, whoa.
- 2:51Skyler: I don't know about that.
- 2:52Dave (Maki): He fell in a pile of pig manure and drown.
- 2:55Dave (Maki): What a way to go.
- 2:56Skyler: Yeah, I know right.
- 2:58Dave (Maki): Sounds like the most.
- 2:58Dave (Maki): Jackson.
- 2:59Dave (Maki): Way to go.
- 2:59Skyler: That's true.
- 3:00Skyler: That's probably true.
- 3:01Skyler: Uh, so taking his place for tonight until we can resurrect
- 3:05Skyler: him, uh, with a resurrection spell, which we all know and
- 3:08Skyler: have practiced many times.
- 3:10Skyler: Right, guys?
- 3:12Skyler: We've been practicing anyway to take over for him tonight.
- 3:16Skyler: We've got our fan favorite, Connor, who?
- 3:20Skyler: You guys have remembered.
- 3:21Dave (Maki): That we have not voted.
- 3:24Skyler: Hey, you're not the fans.
- 3:25Skyler: You're the cast.
- 3:25Dave (Maki): There's been no polls.
- 3:27Skyler: Oh, yeah.
- 3:27Skyler: You haven't seen them.
- 3:28Dave (Maki): It's been established.
- 3:29Dave (Maki): I'm the fan favorite.
- 3:31Skyler: They're on really obscure social media.
- 3:33Dave (Maki): The only character that has been
- 3:35Dave (Maki): recognized by a single fan was
- 3:37Dave (Maki): Mika.
- 3:38Skyler: That's true.
- 3:39Skyler: That is true.
- 3:39Skyler: Mika's got the shout out.
- 3:41Skyler: Uh, so Connor, obviously having
- 3:43Skyler: played a couple of our NPCs in
- 3:44Skyler: the past, including King
- 3:45Skyler: Fortuna's himself as well as
- 3:48Skyler: judge.
- 3:49Skyler: The judge uh, dim dim.
- 3:52Skyler: Dim.
- 3:52Skyler: Dim.
- 3:52Skyler: Dim.
- 3:54Dave (Maki): From the.
- 3:55Skyler: There you go.
- 3:56Skyler: Yes.
- 3:57Dave (Maki): All. All of your guest NPCs.
- 3:58Dave (Maki): Who's been your favorite?
- 4:00Dave (Maki): I really I, I liked King for Tunis, but I really think I made
- 4:06Dave (Maki): a dumb decision to just fight everybody at once with him.
- 4:10Dave (Maki): So it was probably really dumb.
- 4:12Dave (Maki): I also.
- 4:13Skyler: To be fair, that's exactly what I wanted you to do.
- 4:15Dave (Maki): For. That fight was hilarious,
- 4:16Dave (Maki): where we all just walked for the
- 4:18Dave (Maki): first time.
- 4:22Dave (Maki): That was on us for setting up this like, okay, you can only go
- 4:24Dave (Maki): like fifty feet, but you're like two hundred feet apart.
- 4:27Dave (Maki): That doesn't.
- 4:28Skyler: Always.
- 4:28Dave (Maki): Activate combat walking.
- 4:30Skyler: Yes. Skyler doesn't always
- 4:31Skyler: calculate his his combat
- 4:33Skyler: distance.
- 4:34Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, it's just like in a Dragon
- 4:36Quinn (Lil Sauce): Ball episode where the yelling
- 4:39Quinn (Lil Sauce): for the first like two rounds of
- 4:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): combat.
- 4:44Skyler: That's how we get more content.
- 4:46Skyler: More content.
- 4:48Dave (Maki): Like in Avengers.
- 4:49Cameron (Rorick): Endgame, where they're like all up here on the sides of the
- 4:51Cameron (Rorick): battlefield, and they start running at each other.
- 4:53Cameron (Rorick): But instead of like within five
- 4:55Cameron (Rorick): seconds of meeting each other,
- 4:56Cameron (Rorick): it's like a full minute of them
- 4:57Cameron (Rorick): just running and cameras cutting
- 4:58Cameron (Rorick): back.
- 4:59Dave (Maki): And forth between the two that we.
- 5:00Skyler: Should do a cut of that.
- 5:01Skyler: And then just, yeah, just basically replay them running.
- 5:05Quinn (Lil Sauce): It's like the Monty Python bit.
- 5:07Skyler: Yes.
- 5:07Dave (Maki): Yeah.
- 5:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): Sir Lancelot on the clash together.
- 5:11Skyler: So which one would you say is your favourite?
- 5:13Dave (Maki): I think King Fortune is probably.
- 5:14Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 5:15Skyler: Okay. You like that one?
- 5:16Dave (Maki): But I did kind of like being the
- 5:18Dave (Maki): judge because I was kind of in a
- 5:20Dave (Maki): unique position where you were
- 5:21Dave (Maki): incredibly unjust.
- 5:22Dave (Maki): I had no clue what was going on.
- 5:25Skyler: To be fair, you did let a murderer get away.
- 5:27Dave (Maki): I mean, hey.
- 5:29Quinn (Lil Sauce): That's his lawyer's.
- 5:30Dave (Maki): Fault.
- 5:30Dave (Maki): That's.
- 5:30Skyler: His lawyers were also murderers.
- 5:33Dave (Maki): I was not presented with, like, hard hitting evidence.
- 5:38Dave (Maki): And you gotta be.
- 5:38Dave (Maki): It's gotta be innocent till proven guilty.
- 5:40Dave (Maki): Yeah, yeah, it was a bench trial.
- 5:42Dave (Maki): It was the judge's decision.
- 5:44Dave (Maki): There was no jury.
- 5:45Skyler: There was a there was a jury.
- 5:46Skyler: They did deliberate.
- 5:47Skyler: But you got to choose the punishment.
- 5:49Dave (Maki): Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 5:51Dave (Maki): Well, never mind then.
- 5:51Dave (Maki): I guess it was kind of partially on me, too.
- 5:53Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, you.
- 5:54Cameron (Rorick): Delivered a fine punishment.
- 5:55Cameron (Rorick): And then twitchy, swiftly ignored my pleading.
- 5:58Cameron (Rorick): The, uh, twenty twenty?
- 6:01Cameron (Rorick): Yeah.
- 6:01Dave (Maki): Twenty eighth amendment.
- 6:02Skyler: Trust me, I had to do a lot of editing because.
- 6:04Skyler: Oh, no, I remember I listened to.
- 6:05Cameron (Rorick): That episode and I was like, it sounds weird.
- 6:09Skyler: Oh, it's gonna trust me when I
- 6:10Skyler: say it's gonna sound even
- 6:11Skyler: weirder in the next episode,
- 6:12Skyler: because I only had, I think
- 6:14Skyler: three people from you guys that
- 6:16Skyler: had said the twenty eighth and
- 6:18Skyler: two new people said the twenty
- 6:19Skyler: eighth or sorry, the wrong
- 6:20Skyler: number.
- 6:21Skyler: And I just used you guys's.
- 6:23Skyler: Twenty eight.
- 6:24Skyler: So like, there will be a part
- 6:25Skyler: where, uh, I think the judge
- 6:27Skyler: says, are you sure you want to
- 6:28Skyler: plead the.
- 6:29Skyler: And then you just hear Dave say,
- 6:30Skyler: yeah, no, I remember the twenty
- 6:31Skyler: eighth.
- 6:31Cameron (Rorick): I listened to that episode and it was weird.
- 6:34Skyler: Yeah. Fair enough.
- 6:35Skyler: It's what I had to work with.
- 6:36Skyler: So with that being said, we're gonna jump into another episode
- 6:39Skyler: of Criminals of Isla Numis.
- 6:48Skyler: All right.
- 6:48Skyler: You guys have fought your way through Dusk Walker Tower to
- 6:54Skyler: make it to this point.
- 6:56Skyler: At the top of the stairs, you
- 6:57Skyler: see a pair of ornate double
- 7:00Skyler: doors.
- 7:01Skyler: Tapestries of Alexandria, dusk.
- 7:04Skyler: Walker, representative of all of
- 7:06Skyler: her different businesses, kind
- 7:08Skyler: of cover the walls leading up to
- 7:11Skyler: this door.
- 7:12Skyler: At the doorway, you see some ornate statues of Alexandria
- 7:17Skyler: Dusk Walker sitting on either side of it.
- 7:21Skyler: One of them tells only truth.
- 7:23Skyler: And what?
- 7:23Skyler: No, I'm totally kidding.
- 7:25Skyler: Um, no. The door is right directly in front of you.
- 7:28Fatty (Keto): So didn't we unlock a door?
- 7:30Fatty (Keto): And now there's another door behind the door.
- 7:32Skyler: Oh, no. If you unlock the door,
- 7:33Skyler: then I guess the unlocked door
- 7:35Skyler: is just sitting there in front
- 7:36Skyler: of you.
- 7:37Fatty (Keto): Yeah, we need to take the rock and maybe do some leveling up.
- 7:42Dave (Maki): What?
- 7:42Dave (Maki): What?
- 7:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh.
- 7:44Dave (Maki): Yeah, we're right here.
- 7:46Fatty (Keto): See, my voice is back because.
- 7:47Cameron (Rorick): My tonsils are.
- 7:48Dave (Maki): Good.
- 7:48Fatty (Keto): Yeah, your tonsils are right here.
- 7:51Fatty (Keto): So glad your.
- 7:51Skyler: Tonsils grew back.
- 7:52Fatty (Keto): I'm sitting here at eighteen health.
- 7:54Fatty (Keto): I am getting messed up by the littlest of things.
- 7:57Dave (Maki): Do you need a heel?
- 7:59Fatty (Keto): I mean, you could rub me down.
- 8:01Cameron (Rorick): Yeah. Okay. How about no?
- 8:03Cameron (Rorick): And instead, frog does.
- 8:07Fatty (Keto): Frog. I'll tell you.
- 8:08Fatty (Keto): Frog. Okay.
- 8:09Cameron (Rorick): I tossed frog at him to cast cure wounds on him.
- 8:12Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 8:13Skyler: When the.
- 8:15Cameron (Rorick): For the.
- 8:17Fatty (Keto): eight.
- 8:17Cameron (Rorick): Plus my spell casting.
- 8:19Fatty (Keto): Is it really?
- 8:20Cameron (Rorick): Well, cure wounds is the one that's more because I have to
- 8:22Cameron (Rorick): physically touch him.
- 8:23Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 8:24Skyler: But then you didn't.
- 8:25Skyler: Because you just threw your little robot creature is.
- 8:29Cameron (Rorick): I'm standing right next to him.
- 8:31Cameron (Rorick): I just I just you.
- 8:32Skyler: Just.
- 8:33Dave (Maki): Added.
- 8:33Cameron (Rorick): Aesthetically flavor. Sure. Half frog.
- 8:35Cameron (Rorick): Do it instead.
- 8:36Skyler: All right.
- 8:37Skyler: You throw frog over frog gives you a big hug and says.
- 8:42Cameron (Rorick): And you heal.
- 8:44Skyler: six six health.
- 8:46Skyler: There you go.
- 8:47Skyler: You've just healed six health and the door still stands in
- 8:50Skyler: front of you unopened.
- 8:52Skyler: Oh, there's a door right here.
- 8:55Cameron (Rorick): Well, do you you do the honors, des?
- 8:57Dave (Maki): I guess des goes up to the door.
- 8:59Dave (Maki): Do you just.
- 9:00Dave (Maki): Is there handles on the.
- 9:01Skyler: Yeah, it's already been unlocked.
- 9:03Dave (Maki): Oh yeah.
- 9:04Skyler: Just I believe that's what I don't know.
- 9:06Skyler: Kato told me.
- 9:07Fatty (Keto): He was going to have it locked.
- 9:08Fatty (Keto): I don't know because I thought my.
- 9:10Dave (Maki): Yeah.
- 9:11Fatty (Keto): I rang a.
- 9:11Dave (Maki): Bell to the door.
- 9:12Skyler: That was. Oh. Well. Okay, so you would have rang that bell.
- 9:15Skyler: You guys would have gone through that door, gone upstairs.
- 9:17Skyler: This is the door.
- 9:17Fatty (Keto): Okay, so there was a.
- 9:19Skyler: But it's unlocked.
- 9:20Fatty (Keto): Something behind the door.
- 9:21Cameron (Rorick): Yeah, right.
- 9:22Fatty (Keto): We opened with the bell.
- 9:23Fatty (Keto): Yeah. Yes.
- 9:24Fatty (Keto): Oh, okay.
- 9:25Skyler: So with that being said, door's unlocked.
- 9:27Skyler: Okay.
- 9:27Skyler: So, des, you're opening it.
- 9:29Dave (Maki): Yes, yes.
- 9:30Dave (Maki): Des is opening the door.
- 9:31Skyler: All right, you open the door and beyond it.
- 9:33Skyler: It's dark in here.
- 9:34Skyler: Uh, okay.
- 9:35Skyler: Yes.
- 9:36Skyler: Who has dark vision?
- 9:38Dave (Maki): I think I do, I think des is the only one that doesn't.
- 9:41Skyler: Well, any of the probably any of the kenku minus Dave because
- 9:44Skyler: he's a shadow.
- 9:45Cameron (Rorick): You and little sauce don't.
- 9:47Skyler: So actually only two of you don't.
- 9:48Dave (Maki): Okay that's alright.
- 9:49Dave (Maki): Doesn't just jump onto your back.
- 9:52Dave (Maki): He'll just jump on.
- 9:53Dave (Maki): He'll just sit on his shoulder like a little parrot.
- 9:55Quinn (Lil Sauce): Little little little bro little.
- 9:57Cameron (Rorick): Actually that you can do that.
- 9:58Cameron (Rorick): I'm on gurdy.
- 9:59Cameron (Rorick): I'm on my giant goat.
- 10:01Dave (Maki): He's either latching on like Yoda or he's sitting on his
- 10:03Dave (Maki): shoulder like a parrot.
- 10:04Cameron (Rorick): You can sit behind me on my giant goat.
- 10:06Cameron (Rorick): Sure.
- 10:07Dave (Maki): He'll just hop on gurdy.
- 10:08Cameron (Rorick): Gurdy.
- 10:08Skyler: You're on behind the goat anyway.
- 10:10Skyler: Okay, so those of you with
- 10:11Skyler: Darkvision, it's pretty dark in
- 10:12Skyler: here.
- 10:13Skyler: So those without you're not seeing a lot.
- 10:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): In front of me.
- 10:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): Kind of.
- 10:17Skyler: Yeah. A little bit of light from this.
- 10:19Skyler: This hallway or stairway, uh,
- 10:21Skyler: kind of illuminates into it a
- 10:23Skyler: little bit.
- 10:23Skyler: So you don't, but you don't see much those windows.
- 10:26Skyler: Well, I'm getting tonight.
- 10:27Skyler: Those who do have dark vision inside is a large secretarial
- 10:36Skyler: desk with a wall behind it.
- 10:39Skyler: But you can see there are gaps on either side of the wall so
- 10:42Skyler: that you could go around it.
- 10:43Skyler: But this is sort of a greeting
- 10:44Skyler: spot for anyone who's coming
- 10:46Skyler: into this, because this doubles
- 10:48Skyler: both as an office and allegedly
- 10:50Skyler: based on what you're told by the
- 10:52Skyler: architect who hired you to do
- 10:54Skyler: this, that there's also a
- 10:55Skyler: penthouse like a living space
- 10:57Skyler: here.
- 10:58Skyler: But right now, all you see is just a wall.
- 11:01Skyler: And then this big secretarial wooden wooden, but like with a
- 11:05Skyler: nice varnish so that it like, almost glints off any light that
- 11:08Skyler: is coming through.
- 11:10Skyler: Um, there's a, an office chair,
- 11:13Skyler: there's, I almost said there's a
- 11:17Skyler: computer, there's not a
- 11:18Skyler: computer.
- 11:18Skyler: Um, but there is definitely some
- 11:20Skyler: writing materials and a bowl of
- 11:25Skyler: candy.
- 11:26Quinn (Lil Sauce): Does anybody see anything in here?
- 11:27Cameron (Rorick): Yeah. Marcie, you should grab that pull tag there.
- 11:30Cameron (Rorick): We need a number.
- 11:32Quinn (Lil Sauce): Not anything.
- 11:34Quinn (Lil Sauce): I can start a fire, you know, like.
- 11:37Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, let me see if her.
- 11:38Quinn (Lil Sauce): Let me check her appointment schedule.
- 11:40Quinn (Lil Sauce): See if she's free.
- 11:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): I go and I look over at see if she has if the secretary left,
- 11:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): uh, the schedule book.
- 11:47Skyler: Oh, that's a good point.
- 11:48Skyler: Uh, it says on her schedule book.
- 11:50Skyler: It only really outlines the, the working hours.
- 11:53Skyler: And so it shows that she had a few meetings throughout the day,
- 11:56Skyler: but at about five p m, it just kind of cuts things off.
- 12:01Skyler: Um, this is this is Alexandria dusk, Walker's personal time.
- 12:04Skyler: And she doesn't use the the secretarial, whoever she has as
- 12:07Skyler: a secretary, she doesn't use, uh, during that time or personal
- 12:10Skyler: assistant or whatever you want to call it.
- 12:12Quinn (Lil Sauce): I put her book, that book in my bag.
- 12:15Skyler: Okay. Very nice.
- 12:16Skyler: Just in case it's got her future stuff on it to.
- 12:20Quinn (Lil Sauce): Turn the lights on.
- 12:22Quinn (Lil Sauce): But if I take her future stuff,
- 12:23Quinn (Lil Sauce): she might not make the
- 12:25Quinn (Lil Sauce): appointment.
- 12:25Quinn (Lil Sauce): That's a good.
- 12:26Skyler: Point.
- 12:27Skyler: That's a very good point.
- 12:28Skyler: Maybe.
- 12:28Skyler: Maybe the the personal assistant has a backup or something.
- 12:33Quinn (Lil Sauce): Um, she she's not, like,
- 12:34Quinn (Lil Sauce): standing in the corner watching
- 12:35Quinn (Lil Sauce): us.
- 12:36Quinn (Lil Sauce): dresses.
- 12:36Skyler: You do not see her stand?
- 12:37Skyler: I mean, you definitely don't.
- 12:38Skyler: But the rest of you also don't
- 12:40Skyler: see her standing in that area at
- 12:42Skyler: all.
- 12:42Quinn (Lil Sauce): I wonder if she's still here burning the midnight oil.
- 12:47Cameron (Rorick): Um, I don't see her.
- 12:49Skyler: There are sconces along the wall
- 12:52Skyler: that you could light up if you
- 12:53Skyler: wanted to.
- 12:55Skyler: Or of course, you're more than welcome to creating kind of
- 12:58Skyler: magical light to help light up the area as well.
- 13:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): Can I just like the place on fire?
- 13:04Cameron (Rorick): You?
- 13:04Skyler: If you tell me what you're
- 13:06Skyler: lighting on fire, you certainly
- 13:07Skyler: could.
- 13:08Skyler: MM.
- 13:09Dave (Maki): But we might.
- 13:10Quinn (Lil Sauce): Lose our element of surprise.
- 13:11Cameron (Rorick): Torches. Nope. Okay.
- 13:13Dave (Maki): We're sitting on a we're sitting
- 13:15Dave (Maki): on, like, a five hundred pound,
- 13:17Dave (Maki): uh, goat.
- 13:18Quinn (Lil Sauce): Goat.
- 13:18Skyler: Goat.
- 13:19Dave (Maki): I got a two hundred pound, you know, massive, flammable fur and
- 13:24Dave (Maki): fat oils, you see.
- 13:25Skyler: Very good.
- 13:26Skyler: That's a very good point.
- 13:27Dave (Maki): I mean, he can't say that, but
- 13:29Dave (Maki): I'm just, you know,
- 13:29Dave (Maki): brainstorming.
- 13:30Dave (Maki): Pull out a torch and light it.
- 13:31Skyler: You're drawing a picture of a goat.
- 13:33Skyler: Equals two hundred L.B..
- 13:36Dave (Maki): And this is when I turn on the torch.
- 13:38Dave (Maki): Well, it's dark and I like the torch.
- 13:40Dave (Maki): And I turn around and I look and
- 13:42Dave (Maki): I see this horrible drawing and
- 13:44Dave (Maki): go, what.
- 13:45Dave (Maki): In the world did you draw, des?
- 13:48Dave (Maki): Also, here's your torch.
- 13:50Skyler: He gives you a torch.
- 13:51Skyler: Do you like is it lit?
- 13:52Skyler: Yeah.
- 13:52Skyler: Okay.
- 13:53Skyler: It's a lit torch.
- 13:54Skyler: You can now see.
- 13:56Skyler: I mean, as far as like firelight goes, you know.
- 13:58Skyler: And the key thing to keep in
- 14:00Skyler: mind here is that there's a wall
- 14:01Skyler: behind the secretary's office
- 14:03Skyler: that's blocking view from
- 14:03Skyler: anything that might be behind
- 14:05Skyler: it.
- 14:05Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm going to use my eye for detail.
- 14:07Skyler: Okay. What is that.
- 14:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): Ability?
- 14:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): Um, it's ability once per long rest, you can.
- 14:12Quinn (Lil Sauce): I haven't used it since for a long time.
- 14:13Quinn (Lil Sauce): Sure, sure.
- 14:14Dave (Maki): You used it in the last room.
- 14:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh I didn't.
- 14:17Quinn (Lil Sauce): Did he?
- 14:18Quinn (Lil Sauce): You one hundred percent.
- 14:20Quinn (Lil Sauce): No, I didn't know.
- 14:21Skyler: I didn't tell me what it does.
- 14:22Skyler: So I can remember.
- 14:24Quinn (Lil Sauce): I can spot a hidden creature object with advantage.
- 14:27Skyler: This does sound familiar.
- 14:28Quinn (Lil Sauce): I don't think I did.
- 14:30Quinn (Lil Sauce): I think you used it when we last time.
- 14:33Quinn (Lil Sauce): Was that guy with the rack.
- 14:35Quinn (Lil Sauce): The fat guy.
- 14:35Dave (Maki): You used it in the room with the the first trap room to figure
- 14:39Dave (Maki): out how to beat the trap.
- 14:41Dave (Maki): And then you're the one who saw the three levers.
- 14:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, never mind.
- 14:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm not going to do that.
- 14:46Dave (Maki): Okay, but there's a wall.
- 14:48Dave (Maki): Is it like a physical wall?
- 14:49Quinn (Lil Sauce): I don't walk around it.
- 14:50Skyler: Yeah, I was gonna say you can walk around.
- 14:52Skyler: Okay, monkey, you walk around it.
- 14:54Skyler: Whoa!
- 14:54Dave (Maki): Weird monkey.
- 14:55Dave (Maki): Go.
- 14:56Skyler: You see, as you round the.
- 14:58Skyler: Are you going through the right or the left side?
- 15:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): The right.
- 15:01Skyler: The right.
- 15:02Skyler: Okay, so you come out the right side.
- 15:04Skyler: What you see immediately in
- 15:05Skyler: front of you is the sort of more
- 15:07Skyler: living space of this condo,
- 15:09Skyler: basically.
- 15:10Skyler: You see, uh, so straight back the far, the long wall on the
- 15:14Skyler: far end, um, is there's no wall.
- 15:16Skyler: It's just a big window that
- 15:18Skyler: looks out upon the city of
- 15:20Skyler: island.
- 15:20Skyler: You're in a very tall building tower.
- 15:23Skyler: And so obviously at the top, you
- 15:25Skyler: know, you want a really cool
- 15:26Skyler: view.
- 15:26Skyler: This is a pretty cool view that just looks out upon pretty much
- 15:30Skyler: the entirety of the city, or at least a good half of it.
- 15:33Skyler: You can see, you know, the speckles of lights coming out of
- 15:36Skyler: the various houses and other buildings in the area.
- 15:39Skyler: Um, you can even see like some vehicles that are passing around
- 15:43Skyler: outside down on the roads.
- 15:45Skyler: But as far as what's inside this room.
- 15:47Skyler: Uh, so immediately in front of
- 15:49Skyler: you, you see a bed and a dresser
- 15:51Skyler: a little bit more towards the
- 15:53Skyler: other side.
- 15:54Skyler: You're looking at like a small kitchenette area.
- 15:58Skyler: And then kind of what looks like her personal office.
- 16:00Skyler: There is a display case with a variety of different items
- 16:05Skyler: inside of it.
- 16:06Skyler: There is obviously a desk of her own, um, with a variety of
- 16:10Skyler: different compartments and things along those lines.
- 16:14Skyler: And yeah, that's pretty much the gist of what you see in here.
- 16:18Skyler: Roll me a perception check.
- 16:22Skyler: Added twenty and added twenty.
- 16:24Skyler: Dang.
- 16:24Skyler: Okay.
- 16:25Skyler: Uh, a key thing that you notice in addition, in this room, on
- 16:29Skyler: the bed, you see, there is sort of a pair or a sort of a lump in
- 16:37Skyler: underneath the blanket.
- 16:40Skyler: It's a long oblong lump that takes up a good third center
- 16:44Skyler: section of the bed.
- 16:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): Guys, you're never gonna believe this.
- 16:47Quinn (Lil Sauce): She sleeps with a body pillow.
- 16:51Skyler: Is it an anime.
- 16:53Quinn (Lil Sauce): Body.
- 16:53Skyler: Bill?
- 16:53Dave (Maki): Look.
- 16:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): But actually, that's her.
- 16:56Quinn (Lil Sauce): That's her condo over there.
- 16:58Quinn (Lil Sauce): Like, it's not just an office.
- 16:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): Like she lives here or something.
- 17:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): I think she's asleep in the other room.
- 17:03Quinn (Lil Sauce): Let's go stab.
- 17:03Quinn (Lil Sauce): Her.
- 17:04Connor (Dez): What?
- 17:05Connor (Dez): Okay.
- 17:06Quinn (Lil Sauce): I mean, that's what we're here for, isn't it?
- 17:07Quinn (Lil Sauce): What do you mean?
- 17:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): What, are we supposed to negotiate with her?
- 17:11Quinn (Lil Sauce): Or is it just the, uh.
- 17:12Dave (Maki): She might offer us more money to not kill her.
- 17:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh.
- 17:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): Uh, the standard in bash.
- 17:24Quinn (Lil Sauce): Yeah, just a bunch of bars of soap.
- 17:27Connor (Dez): Like Full Metal Jacket.
- 17:28Connor (Dez): Like, are they just tied him down to the bed.
- 17:31Quinn (Lil Sauce): Some of us grab the covers from both sides.
- 17:33Quinn (Lil Sauce): We hold her down and.
- 17:36Dave (Maki): And and.
- 17:38Connor (Dez): Des just draws his bow and.
- 17:40Quinn (Lil Sauce): Arrow.
- 17:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): Des just starts stacking.
- 17:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): His.
- 17:45Connor (Dez): Just at the ready.
- 17:45Connor (Dez): Yeah.
- 17:46Dave (Maki): I pull out two daggers and I'm holding them.
- 17:49Quinn (Lil Sauce): Out of an abundance of caution.
- 17:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): Quito is going to put on his helmet and then proceed to stand
- 17:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): over the lump with glaive drawn.
- 17:56Quinn (Lil Sauce): Okay, okay.
- 17:57Quinn (Lil Sauce): I have a feeling this isn't actually her.
- 17:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): Let's don't.
- 18:00Dave (Maki): Be.
- 18:00Quinn (Lil Sauce): Ridiculous.
- 18:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): Let's let's let's sneak in that quiet like.
- 18:04Connor (Dez): Oh, I thought we were.
- 18:05Connor (Dez): I was gonna say, like everybody was already surrounding the bed.
- 18:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): Okay. All right.
- 18:10Skyler: And then what do you what do you do?
- 18:11Dave (Maki): What are you holding?
- 18:12Quinn (Lil Sauce): I gesture to source and to des.
- 18:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): I point out, you guys, I'm like,
- 18:18Quinn (Lil Sauce): say no questioningly, making a
- 18:22Quinn (Lil Sauce): stabbing motion.
- 18:23Quinn (Lil Sauce): I point at like you stab or you stab.
- 18:27Quinn (Lil Sauce): That's what I'm trying to say.
- 18:28Skyler: You see?
- 18:29Skyler: You see, Cato's like with his horned helmet of the Minotaur
- 18:33Skyler: leaned over, ready to, I guess just like, charge the bed.
- 18:37Dave (Maki): I don't know if he necessarily needs to charge.
- 18:40Skyler: Oh, you just have it on.
- 18:41Dave (Maki): Just have it on.
- 18:42Dave (Maki): Because it does also offer, like, an AC thing.
- 18:44Skyler: Oh, yeah.
- 18:44Skyler: Okay. Roderick, you had a couple of daggers out and ready.
- 18:48Skyler: Uh, des has his bow and arrow ready to go.
- 18:51Connor (Dez): He can't exactly point at himself and say, I'm gonna stab,
- 18:53Connor (Dez): because that means he lets.
- 18:55Skyler: The arrow at himself.
- 18:56Connor (Dez): Already he's drawn the arrow and
- 18:58Connor (Dez): then he's like, oh yeah, I'm
- 18:59Connor (Dez): gonna stab.
- 19:00Connor (Dez): And as he does this, he lets go of the arrow.
- 19:04Connor (Dez): So I can't exactly articulate what.
- 19:06Dave (Maki): I just gotta, I'm, I got my, uh, staff out.
- 19:09Skyler: Okay. To, to bash or to cast the bash.
- 19:13Dave (Maki): You know, it's like using a stick to beat a. Yeah.
- 19:15Dave (Maki): Carpet in the air.
- 19:16Dave (Maki): You know.
- 19:16Skyler: He's gonna clean these sheets.
- 19:18Skyler: Oh, this is.
- 19:19Dave (Maki): Totally gonna be one of those Lord of the rings scene where
- 19:21Dave (Maki): stabbing a bunch of pillows.
- 19:22Dave (Maki): Okay, we all know as players what we're about to do.
- 19:26Dave (Maki): You know what des just writes on his chalkboard?
- 19:28Dave (Maki): Nerd.
- 19:29Dave (Maki): Well, you have a bow and arrow drawn.
- 19:31Dave (Maki): You're gonna write on your whiteboard.
- 19:33Dave (Maki): This is multi-talented, and he's
- 19:35Dave (Maki): gonna race it real quick for
- 19:36Dave (Maki): everyone else.
- 19:37Dave (Maki): He's just gonna write boo this man, and then put an arrow that
- 19:39Dave (Maki): points to him.
- 19:43Dave (Maki): I like des even more.
- 19:46Dave (Maki): Where does he keep his chalkboard, by the way?
- 19:48Dave (Maki): We know.
- 19:49Dave (Maki): Ask. Okay, cool.
- 19:50Dave (Maki): I envision it's like a necklace.
- 19:52Dave (Maki): Probably in his very jacket with many pockets.
- 19:55Skyler: If Jackson were here, he would say.
- 19:56Skyler: I clench it between my butt cheeks.
- 19:58Dave (Maki): Well, Jackson's not here.
- 20:00Skyler: So he's not.
- 20:01Dave (Maki): He's gone.
- 20:02Dave (Maki): We're here right now.
- 20:04Dave (Maki): Right here.
- 20:05Dave (Maki): It's our time.
- 20:06Dave (Maki): It's his.
- 20:07Dave (Maki): Connor's time right now.
- 20:10Dave (Maki): Right now.
- 20:12Dave (Maki): Okay.
- 20:13Dave (Maki): All right, Rocky, give us a count.
- 20:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): All right, give a count.
- 20:17Quinn (Lil Sauce): Count down.
- 20:18Quinn (Lil Sauce): Three.
- 20:19Quinn (Lil Sauce): Two, one.
- 20:19Quinn (Lil Sauce): And I yanked the covers.
- 20:21Skyler: Got everybody rolling.
- 20:22Skyler: Attack!
- 20:23Quinn (Lil Sauce): Stab stab stab stab stab with advantage.
- 20:26Dave (Maki): Oh, I'm going to be rolling a lot of smite.
- 20:28Dave (Maki): Oh my goodness.
- 20:30Dave (Maki): Eighteen was my lowest.
- 20:31Skyler: Eighteen was your lowest.
- 20:31Skyler: Okay. Nineteen nineteen okay, okay.
- 20:34Skyler: I'm gonna assume that des just is the first to shoot, assuming
- 20:39Skyler: he hits, which I'm guessing.
- 20:40Dave (Maki): You don't want that one.
- 20:41Dave (Maki): Yeah, I got a nineteen nineteen.
- 20:44Skyler: Okay. Twelve twelve.
- 20:46Quinn (Lil Sauce): He was confused on the plan.
- 20:47Quinn (Lil Sauce): So he is just currently holding the covers down.
- 20:50Skyler: Hey, you know what?
- 20:51Skyler: That's fair, that's fair.
- 20:53Skyler: That could come into play.
- 20:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): So he got a that would probably be a strength chest.
- 20:57Skyler: Yes. But I'll give it a second before I do that.
- 21:00Dave (Maki): So it hit I, I rolled a nineteen with the d20 and then I rolled a
- 21:03Dave (Maki): six with the d8.
- 21:04Skyler: Okay, I'm getting to the damage here in a moment.
- 21:06Skyler: He's just saying.
- 21:07Dave (Maki): Who will hit.
- 21:08Skyler: I hit so assuming that des shot
- 21:12Skyler: first because I, I I'm guessing
- 21:14Skyler: that the rest of you don't want
- 21:16Skyler: to.
- 21:17Dave (Maki): I don't want to get in the way of a flying.
- 21:19Dave (Maki): error.
- 21:19Skyler: I'm guessing that the rest of you don't want to.
- 21:20Skyler: Yeah.
- 21:21Skyler: Jump in the way of a flying arrow and get shot dead.
- 21:24Skyler: Shoots first, and then as the
- 21:26Skyler: arrow slams into the bed, the
- 21:28Skyler: rest of you, with your various
- 21:29Skyler: sharp objects start jumping or
- 21:31Skyler: blunt.
- 21:32Skyler: I guess in the case of little sauce, start stabbing and
- 21:35Skyler: thumping and out.
- 21:37Skyler: Fly a bunch of feathers.
- 21:39Skyler: That's right, I did, you guys, I pulled it, I pulled a prancing
- 21:43Skyler: pony on you.
- 21:45Dave (Maki): But she's made of feathers.
- 21:47Skyler: You find underneath the covers.
- 21:50Skyler: Murder most foul.
- 21:51Skyler: Marcie pulls back the covers and
- 21:53Skyler: you find a bunch of pillows
- 21:56Skyler: underneath.
- 21:57Skyler: All of a sudden.
- 21:59Dave (Maki): Uh, the pillows become sentient.
- 22:01Skyler: A high pitched voice suddenly
- 22:04Skyler: penetrates the darkened room as
- 22:06Skyler: you hear.
- 22:08Alexandria Duskwalker: Whoops. Sorry, I can't come to the assassination right now.
- 22:14Alexandria Duskwalker: I'm actually at a prior engagement.
- 22:17Alexandria Duskwalker: My sincerest apologies.
- 22:19Alexandria Duskwalker: You put in a lot of effort in order to get this far.
- 22:23Alexandria Duskwalker: And I hate to disappoint you, but unfortunately, I'm at
- 22:28Alexandria Duskwalker: another meeting right now.
- 22:31Alexandria Duskwalker: I'm sure you're probably representatives from the Thieves
- 22:34Alexandria Duskwalker: Guild, so feel free to loot what you want from this room.
- 22:37Alexandria Duskwalker: The trinkets mean very little to
- 22:39Alexandria Duskwalker: me as I prepare to move on to
- 22:42Alexandria Duskwalker: the next world, so feel free to
- 22:45Alexandria Duskwalker: look around.
- 22:46Alexandria Duskwalker: Feel free to loot the place.
- 22:47Alexandria Duskwalker: I won't be seeing you guys again.
- 22:50Alexandria Duskwalker: Alexandria.
- 22:51Alexandria Duskwalker: Dusk.
- 22:51Alexandria Duskwalker: Walker signing out.
- 22:53Dave (Maki): You are the chosen one.
- 22:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh.
- 22:55Dave (Maki): Can I look beyond the giant obvious curtain?
- 22:58Skyler: Giant obvious.
- 22:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): Curtain.
- 22:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): There's a window.
- 23:00Skyler: Yeah, there's a window.
- 23:01Dave (Maki): Like the Wizard of Oz.
- 23:02Dave (Maki): Oh, yeah.
- 23:04Dave (Maki): Pay no mind to the.
- 23:05Dave (Maki): The lady behind the curtain.
- 23:09Quinn (Lil Sauce): What?
- 23:09Quinn (Lil Sauce): I open my satchel and look at her appointment book.
- 23:13Quinn (Lil Sauce): Where's she at?
- 23:15Skyler: I Like I said it.
- 23:16Skyler: Does it have ascending in there anyway?
- 23:19Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh, it must be a personal appointment.
- 23:21Skyler: She's a chosen one.
- 23:22Skyler: No, we're the chosen one.
- 23:24Skyler: No, we definitely weren't.
- 23:25Skyler: Uh, I don't know about that.
- 23:27Skyler: Jim said we were the chosen.
- 23:29Quinn (Lil Sauce): Who schedules their coffee breaks.
- 23:33Skyler: And there's, like, multiple coffee breaks, and each one is.
- 23:35Skyler: It's labeled a different kind of coffee.
- 23:38Skyler: To be fair, the only one that's not the chosen one is des.
- 23:41Skyler: True.
- 23:42Skyler: He did act.
- 23:43Skyler: Well, hold on, he tried.
- 23:45Skyler: He tried and failed, but they didn't.
- 23:47Skyler: Oh, yeah, that's right.
- 23:48Skyler: They did ask him up.
- 23:49Skyler: That's true.
- 23:49Skyler: Yeah.
- 23:50Skyler: And they said he wasn't the
- 23:52Skyler: chosen one, but they said he
- 23:53Skyler: wasn't right.
- 23:54Skyler: Yeah.
- 23:54Skyler: There's something wrong.
- 23:55Skyler: He's not the chosen one.
- 23:56Skyler: Yeah.
- 23:57Skyler: He caused a whole sorry problem.
- 23:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, that would make a bit of sense.
- 24:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): She did mention moving on to another world.
- 24:04Quinn (Lil Sauce): Should we go to the Ascension ceremony?
- 24:06Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, she did let us.
- 24:08Quinn (Lil Sauce): She said we could take whatever we wanted.
- 24:11Dave (Maki): Yeah, maybe there's something valuable.
- 24:12Skyler: Clearly, she's not coming back.
- 24:14Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm gonna check out what's.
- 24:15Skyler: I mean, your treehouse was nice, but.
- 24:17Quinn (Lil Sauce): I think we ruined all these pillows.
- 24:19Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh, those were nice.
- 24:20Skyler: They were nice pillows.
- 24:22Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm gonna start searching the rooms.
- 24:23Skyler: Okay. Are there any nice hats?
- 24:25Skyler: There are nice hats.
- 24:26Skyler: In fact, there is a glass display case.
- 24:30Skyler: And on the bottom section, there's actually a brilliant
- 24:36Skyler: velvet with gold trim.
- 24:38Skyler: Fat cap.
- 24:40Skyler: Uh, you've not seen one this
- 24:41Skyler: ornate in the massive boxes that
- 24:44Skyler: you've either obtained or
- 24:46Skyler: rummaged through.
- 24:47Skyler: I want it.
- 24:48Skyler: Okay.
- 24:49Skyler: Really nice.
- 24:53Skyler: There we go.
- 24:53Skyler: There you go.
- 24:54Skyler: Uh, the display case just opens.
- 24:56Skyler: I mean, there's, there's, uh, four tiers.
- 24:59Skyler: So on the lowest tier, there's
- 25:01Skyler: the brilliant velvet with gold
- 25:03Skyler: trim, fat cap, uh, on the second
- 25:06Skyler: or second to bottom tier is a
- 25:08Skyler: velvet pillow with three ornate
- 25:11Skyler: glass butterflies.
- 25:13Quinn (Lil Sauce): I take the pillow.
- 25:15Skyler: Okay. You snag.
- 25:16Skyler: You take the pillow.
- 25:17Skyler: What do you do?
- 25:17Skyler: Do you, like, let the
- 25:18Skyler: butterflies just fall to the
- 25:20Skyler: floor?
- 25:20Quinn (Lil Sauce): Or are.
- 25:21Quinn (Lil Sauce): What are these things?
- 25:23Skyler: Like?
- 25:24Skyler: Earrings.
- 25:25Quinn (Lil Sauce): I put them in my pocket.
- 25:26Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 25:27Skyler: So you take those two.
- 25:27Skyler: All right, mark that down.
- 25:29Skyler: Um, on the third tier shelf, you have a carved mask that's
- 25:34Skyler: painted like a clown.
- 25:37Skyler: Ooh.
- 25:38Skyler: Okay, you pass over that one and ignore it.
- 25:40Skyler: Um, and then on the top one, there's a single familiar vial
- 25:46Skyler: with a slightly glowing green fluid inside that reminds you a
- 25:53Skyler: lot of the euphoria drug.
- 25:56Connor (Dez): Oh, yeah.
- 25:56Connor (Dez): Des grabs the euphoria.
- 25:58Connor (Dez): Des grabs the drugs.
- 26:00Skyler: Des des grabs the vial of of euphoria.
- 26:03Skyler: Aside from the glass display case, there's also a bookshelf.
- 26:06Skyler: And then there is her desk.
- 26:09Skyler: It's a very grand, very ornate
- 26:11Skyler: wooden desk, but I light it on
- 26:13Skyler: fire.
- 26:13Fatty (Keto): So quickly goes to blow it out.
- 26:17Skyler: Okay, uh.
- 26:19Fatty (Keto): Key pry open a drawer if he can.
- 26:21Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
- 26:22Skyler: You.
- 26:22Quinn (Lil Sauce): I thought that'd be the best word opener.
- 26:24Skyler: You leave it singed.
- 26:25Skyler: But what, he's able to put it out quickly enough.
- 26:28Quinn (Lil Sauce): You were.
- 26:28Skyler: You're serious?
- 26:30Quinn (Lil Sauce): I it looked like it was hard to get into.
- 26:31Quinn (Lil Sauce): I thought I'd just burn the eggs.
- 26:33Skyler: You know, this explains a lot of
- 26:34Skyler: the fire burns around your
- 26:36Skyler: house.
- 26:37Quinn (Lil Sauce): I do like fire.
- 26:38Skyler: That's fair.
- 26:38Skyler: You live in a tree.
- 26:40Fatty (Keto): Full of horse semen?
- 26:41Skyler: Not anymore.
- 26:44Skyler: You you quickly, like, rummage through.
- 26:46Skyler: Why did you sound a little too happy about that?
- 26:48Skyler: I, I just thought it was funny.
- 26:50Skyler: Um, you rummage around this desk
- 26:53Skyler: and you find there are three
- 26:54Skyler: locked shelves.
- 26:56Skyler: Otherwise, everything else is
- 26:57Skyler: open, but there's just not
- 26:58Skyler: really.
- 26:59Skyler: I mean, you know, you.
- 27:00Fatty (Keto): Yeah. He's going to just start
- 27:02Fatty (Keto): hacking at it, assuming it's a
- 27:03Fatty (Keto): wooden desk.
- 27:05Skyler: Uh, well, okay, let me ask you this.
- 27:06Skyler: Do you hack at lock shelf number one.
- 27:09Skyler: Number two or number three?
- 27:11Fatty (Keto): Number three.
- 27:12Skyler: Number three.
- 27:13Skyler: All right, roll me an athletics check.
- 27:16Fatty (Keto): Oh, good thing I'm an athlete.
- 27:18Skyler: Do do you see me as an athlete?
- 27:20Skyler: No.
- 27:20Fatty (Keto): Like I always said, the exact same time.
- 27:22Skyler: I see me as an athlete.
- 27:24Fatty (Keto): Oh, no. Sixteen a.
- 27:26Skyler: sixteen.
- 27:27Skyler: Okay, you take your.
- 27:30Fatty (Keto): Clothes, Glaive.
- 27:31Skyler: Oh, you're using your.
- 27:32Skyler: Yeah, probably.
- 27:33Fatty (Keto): Probably Glaive.
- 27:34Skyler: You just grab the handle of this and you just rip it right open.
- 27:38Skyler: Yeah.
- 27:39Skyler: Um, sending a bunch of gold pieces flying, scattering all
- 27:44Skyler: over the floor.
- 27:45Skyler: I jump on the floor.
- 27:46Skyler: You were gonna burn those.
- 27:48Quinn (Lil Sauce): I was just burning it open.
- 27:50Connor (Dez): I mean, des can just ride on his whiteboard.
- 27:52Connor (Dez): Gold burn.
- 27:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): Don't cry about it.
- 27:55Quinn (Lil Sauce): And Mark is holding up the clown mask.
- 27:58Skyler: Oh, you're taking the clown mask.
- 28:01Skyler: You know, that mask reminds me a lot of what Cato looked like
- 28:04Skyler: before he changed into a cobalt.
- 28:07Skyler: Remember, he was an elf.
- 28:11Fatty (Keto): I thought we didn't have any
- 28:12Fatty (Keto): recollection of our former
- 28:13Fatty (Keto): selves.
- 28:14Skyler: What?
- 28:15Skyler: Then why would we be trying to
- 28:17Skyler: go back if we couldn't remember
- 28:18Skyler: the details?
- 28:20Fatty (Keto): You know, I was an elf.
- 28:21Skyler: I remember you were an elf.
- 28:23Fatty (Keto): I was a cool elf.
- 28:24Skyler: No, no, you were eating rats,
- 28:27Skyler: which I did think was cool,
- 28:29Skyler: actually.
- 28:30Skyler: So you know what?
- 28:30Skyler: I take it back.
- 28:31Fatty (Keto): I was a resourceful elf.
- 28:33Skyler: Fair enough.
- 28:33Skyler: He's a survival elf.
- 28:35Skyler: Those were the exact words he used when we saw him hunched
- 28:38Skyler: over eating raw rat.
- 28:40Fatty (Keto): I'm a survivor.
- 28:42Skyler: Here's what I'm gonna ask.
- 28:43Skyler: Who is who is currently
- 28:44Skyler: scurrying around picking up
- 28:46Skyler: gold?
- 28:46Skyler: I'm trying to open it.
- 28:48Skyler: I'm trying to open a different drawer.
- 28:49Skyler: Okay. I'm gonna come back to you.
- 28:51Connor (Dez): I've lost kind of a trap, so I'm not gonna.
- 28:53Connor (Dez): Okay.
- 28:54Fatty (Keto): You feel what?
- 28:55Connor (Dez): It's probably a trap.
- 28:57Fatty (Keto): I'm gonna grab a gold.
- 28:58Skyler: You're gonna grab gold?
- 28:59Skyler: Yeah. And you thought I didn't say you were.
- 29:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm trying on this mask.
- 29:03Skyler: Okay, you got the mask.
- 29:04Skyler: Um, you're trying the mask on.
- 29:06Skyler: Uh, it fits pretty well, all things considered.
- 29:09Skyler: Which is weird for the fact that it's.
- 29:10Skyler: You're a you're a.
- 29:11Fatty (Keto): You're a.
- 29:12Skyler: Bird. Yeah.
- 29:12Skyler: Can you put it on?
- 29:14Skyler: And you hear a voice.
- 29:14Fatty (Keto): Oh, hi. Hi, everybody.
- 29:16Fatty (Keto): Hi. I'm Marky the Clown.
- 29:19Dave (Maki): Yes, buddy, I got there.
- 29:21Dave (Maki): Mind if I take it?
- 29:24Skyler: Yes. You do notice a strange change in your voice that sounds
- 29:28Skyler: a lot more clown like when you put this mask on.
- 29:32Skyler: Uh, for the two of you.
- 29:33Skyler: Yeah.
- 29:34Connor (Dez): Can you take it off?
- 29:35Connor (Dez): Is this, like the mask?
- 29:37Skyler: Are you gonna start just shooting a Tommy gun?
- 29:43Skyler: Um, for the two of you guys that
- 29:44Skyler: are picking up gold pieces off
- 29:46Skyler: the floor.
- 29:46Skyler: I need you guys to roll a dexterity.
- 29:50Skyler: Yeah, just do a Dex check.
- 29:53Fatty (Keto): Eight.
- 29:53Fatty (Keto): Uh, six.
- 29:54Skyler: Wow.
- 29:56Skyler: That was how much gold they were getting.
- 29:57Skyler: Uh, yeah.
- 29:58Skyler: Uh, eight and six.
- 30:01Skyler: That's just painful.
- 30:02Skyler: Uh, okay.
- 30:04Skyler: Little sauce.
- 30:05Skyler: You get a hundred gold pieces.
- 30:08Skyler: One hundred and fifty.
- 30:09Skyler: And then, kiddo, you pick up a hundred.
- 30:12Skyler: And whatever else there was is lost to the room at this point.
- 30:17Skyler: Fascinating.
- 30:18Skyler: Yeah, it slipped through the cracks.
- 30:19Skyler: It slipped through the cracks.
- 30:21Quinn (Lil Sauce): It went in the carpet.
- 30:22Skyler: Yeah. It went.
- 30:23Skyler: He. It's just shag carpet you would get lost in.
- 30:26Skyler: Why didn't you mention that first thing?
- 30:29Skyler: Shag carpet.
- 30:30Skyler: I feel like that's the most important thing when you ever.
- 30:32Skyler: You describe a room and it has shag carpet.
- 30:34Skyler: You have to describe it first.
- 30:36Skyler: I should have probably described it first, just for the fact that
- 30:39Skyler: little sauce is over here shooting fireballs all over.
- 30:41Skyler: I mean, that would just.
- 30:42Fatty (Keto): Yeah. How on earth did I get it put out so quickly if it was.
- 30:45Skyler: Because he shot the desk?
- 30:47Skyler: Thankfully, because if he had
- 30:48Skyler: hit the floor, you'd all be dead
- 30:50Skyler: right now.
- 30:51Skyler: Also, also, it's shag carpet like you might be blind, but you
- 30:55Skyler: know it's shag carpet.
- 30:56Skyler: Fair enough, fair enough.
- 30:57Skyler: You'll feel it.
- 30:58Skyler: Yeah, exactly.
- 30:59Skyler: You'll sink into it.
- 31:00Skyler: Um, with that being said, keto, one last thing.
- 31:03Skyler: As you're, uh, picking up gold
- 31:05Skyler: pieces, you notice that sitting
- 31:07Skyler: at the bottom of this shelf,
- 31:08Skyler: there's like a sort of like a
- 31:10Skyler: large pouch.
- 31:12Skyler: Uh, and it has like a zipper on it.
- 31:15Fatty (Keto): You will investigate.
- 31:16Skyler: Okay. You pick it up and it says, uh, in very fancy sort of
- 31:22Skyler: cursive like font.
- 31:23Skyler: It says eternal radiance.
- 31:27Quinn (Lil Sauce): He pockets it.
- 31:28Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh, you're.
- 31:28Skyler: Not gonna open it?
- 31:29Fatty (Keto): HMM.
- 31:30Skyler: Maybe you don't have to.
- 31:31Skyler: Okay. Maybe later.
- 31:32Skyler: That's fine.
- 31:33Skyler: Okay.
- 31:33Skyler: He's one hundred percent.
- 31:35Skyler: Forgetting about.
- 31:35Skyler: That because.
- 31:36Skyler: He's not even writing.
- 31:37Skyler: It down.
- 31:37Skyler: Please write it down.
- 31:38Skyler: Skyler is so excited for when you open.
- 31:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): It didn't even move for his paper.
- 31:46Skyler: He just went, I'm not gonna open that and never.
- 31:51Skyler: Okay, so Dez is going for a second shelf.
- 31:54Skyler: Is that what I heard?
- 31:55Skyler: Uh oh, I've got my crowbar out.
- 31:58Skyler: Oh, nice.
- 31:59Skyler: Okay.
- 31:59Skyler: I'm gonna pop. This baby is now going for.
- 32:01Dave (Maki): The first as well.
- 32:02Skyler: Do I get advantage with crowbars?
- 32:03Skyler: Yeah, sure.
- 32:05Skyler: I don't remember if that's a mechanic, but I like how I said
- 32:09Skyler: these are all locked shelves.
- 32:10Skyler: And everybody's like, oh, let me break it open.
- 32:12Skyler: Uh, no. That you you can't get
- 32:14Skyler: the, the crowbar like the, the,
- 32:16Skyler: you can't angle it in to get a
- 32:18Skyler: grip.
- 32:18Skyler: It's just chipping away.
- 32:19Skyler: You're just chipping the wood thieves.
- 32:21Dave (Maki): Tools to try and get in there.
- 32:23Quinn (Lil Sauce): Let me finish.
- 32:24Dave (Maki): I use my thieves tools out.
- 32:26Dave (Maki): Of the way to get.
- 32:27Dave (Maki): Out of the way.
- 32:28Dave (Maki): Amateur yeah, I fail.
- 32:30Skyler: Okay. Uh, you use these tools and you jam the.
- 32:33Quinn (Lil Sauce): Also have thieves tools.
- 32:35Dave (Maki): I thought I could get it open.
- 32:36Quinn (Lil Sauce): Watch, watch and learn, big boy.
- 32:39Dave (Maki): That's okay.
- 32:40Dave (Maki): Don't cry about it.
- 32:43Skyler: I rolled an eighteen with my thieves tools.
- 32:45Skyler: All right.
- 32:45Skyler: Okay.
- 32:46Skyler: Well, normally I would have said that was a success, but he, like
- 32:48Skyler: I just said, his thieves tools.
- 32:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): You broke this thing open.
- 32:53Skyler: Well, he didn't break it open.
- 32:54Skyler: I broke.
- 32:54Dave (Maki): It closed.
- 32:55Skyler: He broke it closed.
- 32:57Quinn (Lil Sauce): I guess we're never gonna see what's in that drawer.
- 33:00Dave (Maki): I think I could light it on fire.
- 33:01Quinn (Lil Sauce): No.
- 33:02Skyler: I mean, before you leave.
- 33:03Skyler: You know why not?
- 33:05Quinn (Lil Sauce): Just like the whole room on fire.
- 33:06Dave (Maki): Yes, I can put Ray of frost on it.
- 33:08Dave (Maki): Freeze it.
- 33:09Dave (Maki): Then we can bash it and it will break.
- 33:11Quinn (Lil Sauce): The amount of locks I've actually.
- 33:14Skyler: Broken.
- 33:14Skyler: Drawn.
- 33:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Using that technique is baffles me.
- 33:18Dave (Maki): I would like to be.
- 33:19Skyler: Hold on, hold on.
- 33:19Skyler: Before you do you know you're going for the first one?
- 33:22Skyler: Yes, yes.
- 33:23Skyler: Okay.
- 33:23Dave (Maki): Another athletics check?
- 33:24Dave (Maki): We're just brute force.
- 33:26Skyler: Sure.
- 33:26Dave (Maki): And I don't even know if I have thieves tools.
- 33:30Dave (Maki): Hey, I finally rolled the halfway decent twenty seven
- 33:33Dave (Maki): twenty seven point oh.
- 33:34Skyler: Yeah, you jam your your glaive into it.
- 33:37Skyler: Just break it with some good lever.
- 33:39Skyler: Action lever.
- 33:40Skyler: Yeah.
- 33:40Skyler: And it's all controlled.
- 33:42Skyler: It doesn't shoot stuff out all over the place.
- 33:44Skyler: Um, you find two things inside.
- 33:47Skyler: You're gonna be.
- 33:48Dave (Maki): I have my pen ready to write this down.
- 33:50Skyler: Awesome. You find Alexandria's black book of contacts.
- 33:55Skyler: You flip through it and you find
- 33:57Skyler: correspondence with all sorts of
- 34:00Skyler: interesting and powerful
- 34:01Skyler: characters throughout all of
- 34:03Skyler: Ireland.
- 34:03Dave (Maki): I glanced through this book.
- 34:05Dave (Maki): Get bored, and hand it to Marcie.
- 34:08Dave (Maki): Okay.
- 34:09Dave (Maki): I'll book.
- 34:10Quinn (Lil Sauce): Nah, that's not what you sound like.
- 34:13Dave (Maki): A book.
- 34:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Whatever you do, Marcie, never take that mask off.
- 34:20Skyler: You also find a series of letters, and I'm not going to,
- 34:23Skyler: like, read these out loud.
- 34:24Skyler: You're probably not even
- 34:25Skyler: interested in them, but I
- 34:26Skyler: digress.
- 34:27Quinn (Lil Sauce): Maki to read them.
- 34:27Quinn (Lil Sauce): Out loud in his voice.
- 34:28Skyler: You broke into the most, like, difficult, but also boring.
- 34:33Dave (Maki): Difficult?
- 34:34Skyler: Well, yeah, this was the hardest one.
- 34:35Skyler: Oh, you find it's a series of
- 34:37Skyler: letters of correspondence
- 34:39Skyler: between Alexandria, Dusk Walker
- 34:42Skyler: and Professor Ironsides, who you
- 34:44Skyler: guys took out at the euphoria
- 34:47Skyler: factory about euphoria
- 34:50Skyler: manufacturing and the use of it
- 34:53Skyler: in the fat caps and hats where
- 34:56Skyler: they were sewing it into the
- 34:57Skyler: seams.
- 34:58Dave (Maki): And that's just the gist of the letters, is yes, hey, we're
- 35:01Dave (Maki): putting euphoria in which we know like the.
- 35:04Skyler: Proverbial condemning evidence that someone might.
- 35:07Dave (Maki): Need. Okay, well, I if they were to take her.
- 35:09Skyler: Pocket, which you guys don't
- 35:10Skyler: have a good relationship with
- 35:11Skyler: the court system here, but I
- 35:13Skyler: digress.
- 35:14Quinn (Lil Sauce): I don't know.
- 35:14Quinn (Lil Sauce): One of us is a judge.
- 35:16Quinn (Lil Sauce): That is.
- 35:17Skyler: Fair. All right.
- 35:19Skyler: So you find out.
- 35:19Skyler: So what are you you said
- 35:21Skyler: something about frosting
- 35:23Skyler: frosting things.
- 35:24Dave (Maki): Yes. I would like to frost the lock.
- 35:26Dave (Maki): And you're.
- 35:27Skyler: Ordering a frosty.
- 35:28Dave (Maki): Cream cheese or buttercream.
- 35:30Quinn (Lil Sauce): They have a cream cheese flavor.
- 35:32Dave (Maki): Cream cheese.
- 35:32Dave (Maki): No. Cream cheese is the best frosting.
- 35:34Skyler: Oh.
- 35:35Dave (Maki): Oh.
- 35:36Skyler: I thought you were talking
- 35:37Skyler: about, I don't know, a frosting
- 35:38Skyler: flavored frosty.
- 35:39Dave (Maki): Would.
- 35:39Skyler: Be good.
- 35:40Skyler: Yeah, yeah.
- 35:41Dave (Maki): It'd be like birthday cake.
- 35:42Dave (Maki): Blizzard.
- 35:43Dave (Maki): Okay, so.
- 35:44Skyler: What are you doing?
- 35:45Dave (Maki): I'm gonna Ray of.
- 35:45Skyler: Frost the lock.
- 35:46Skyler: Okay?
- 35:47Quinn (Lil Sauce): And I'm just.
- 35:48Skyler: Gonna bash the lock with my staff, okay?
- 35:50Skyler: I mean, obviously, you don't
- 35:51Skyler: have to roll for the ray of
- 35:54Skyler: frost.
- 35:54Skyler: That just happens.
- 35:55Skyler: It's not.
- 35:56Skyler: It's not a moving target.
- 35:57Skyler: You hit it.
- 36:02Skyler: I'm gonna have you do an athletics check.
- 36:04Skyler: That's where you're going to be upset.
- 36:06Skyler: Uh, actually, if you would like
- 36:07Skyler: to, you can use your staff, and
- 36:09Skyler: you can do it as an attack with
- 36:10Skyler: your quarterstaff.
- 36:12Skyler: If you're fine with that.
- 36:13Quinn (Lil Sauce): Yeah. That's fine.
- 36:13Skyler: Okay.
- 36:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): And eight.
- 36:16Skyler: You hit this ice, you freeze the
- 36:20Skyler: the whole shelf, this whole
- 36:22Skyler: section of shelf, you freeze it
- 36:24Skyler: solid.
- 36:25Skyler: You take your staff, you swing it as hard as you can, slamming
- 36:30Skyler: into this ice, breaking the ice back off again.
- 36:34Skyler: There stands this solid wooden
- 36:35Skyler: shelf with a jammed lock, but
- 36:37Skyler: there's a bunch of ice on the
- 36:38Skyler: floor now, so hey, be careful,
- 36:40Skyler: don't slip.
- 36:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): Uh. Seeing the struggles, Cato
- 36:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): raises his glaive and
- 36:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): anticipation, but holds in
- 36:47Quinn (Lil Sauce): action.
- 36:47Skyler: Okay. Are you are you waiting for him to give up?
- 36:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): What are you.
- 36:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): What are you waiting for?
- 36:51Quinn (Lil Sauce): We're just waiting for them to give up.
- 36:53Quinn (Lil Sauce): Tell him to move.
- 36:55Quinn (Lil Sauce): Yeah. He will then proceed to say move.
- 36:57Quinn (Lil Sauce): Okay, move.
- 36:58Quinn (Lil Sauce): Proceed to do the third.
- 37:00Skyler: Sounds good.
- 37:00Skyler: Smashing may be so funny if this is the one that you didn't get.
- 37:04Quinn (Lil Sauce): Seventeen.
- 37:05Skyler: Seventeen. Oh, it was close.
- 37:07Skyler: But you did get it.
- 37:08Skyler: You slashed down and you just.
- 37:12Skyler: I'd like to think that you just start hacking at it.
- 37:15Skyler: This shelf, for whatever reason,
- 37:17Skyler: not the most difficult, but for
- 37:18Skyler: some reason has become the most
- 37:20Skyler: difficult with your multiple
- 37:22Skyler: attempts.
- 37:23Skyler: Nothing is working.
- 37:24Skyler: You can't get your glaive jammed in, so you just start hacking at
- 37:27Skyler: it like you're trying to cut a tree down, and eventually you
- 37:30Skyler: get enough of a hole in it to, uh, give you guys enough
- 37:34Skyler: opportunity to break it open.
- 37:35Quinn (Lil Sauce): Sleight of.
- 37:36Skyler: Hand. Two.
- 37:37Quinn (Lil Sauce): Open it before anyone else does and grab what's inside.
- 37:40Quinn (Lil Sauce): I just rolled a Nat twenty.
- 37:41Quinn (Lil Sauce): I am chopping at this thing.
- 37:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): You are gonna get your fingers chopped off.
- 37:45Skyler: I wasn't using my hands.
- 37:46Skyler: I was using my invisible mage hand.
- 37:48Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 37:51Skyler: Uh. Fair enough.
- 37:52Skyler: You secretly.
- 37:54Skyler: No, no, it was just being quick.
- 37:56Skyler: Oh, okay.
- 37:56Skyler: You.
- 37:56Skyler: Quickly.
- 37:57Skyler: And I wasn't using my hand, so I didn't get chopped.
- 37:59Skyler: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand.
- 38:00Skyler: Uh, you quickly pull out the only item that is in the shelf,
- 38:05Skyler: which is a necklace.
- 38:08Skyler: Ooh, stylish.
- 38:09Skyler: I put it on.
- 38:09Skyler: Okay.
- 38:10Skyler: Wait.
- 38:10Skyler: How how?
- 38:12Skyler: Uh, carrots.
- 38:13Skyler: How many?
- 38:14Dave (Maki): Twenty four karat.
- 38:18Skyler: Ooh, the rabbits are gonna sing.
- 38:21Skyler: That's right, twenty four.
- 38:22Skyler: I gotta rewrite this to necklace of the rabbits.
- 38:24Skyler: Uh, twenty four carrots being written down as we speak.
- 38:28Skyler: Necklace of the Were-Rabbit.
- 38:29Skyler: Twenty four carat necklace.
- 38:33Skyler: Done.
- 38:34Skyler: All right.
- 38:34Skyler: Do I look stylish?
- 38:37Skyler: You tell me what it looks like.
- 38:39Skyler: Yo, it won't increase the value or anything, but you tell me
- 38:41Skyler: what it looks like.
- 38:42Dave (Maki): Uh.
- 38:43Skyler: Just ice.
- 38:45Skyler: Ice.
- 38:45Quinn (Lil Sauce): Mhm.
- 38:47Skyler: Okay.
- 38:47Cameron (Rorick): I got ice on my neck.
- 38:49Skyler: It's like icicles.
- 38:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): Yeah, that sounds sick.
- 38:51Skyler: That sounds pretty cool.
- 38:52Cameron (Rorick): With, like, diamonds at the top of them.
- 38:54Skyler: Nice. Okay. Imagine what that would look like on your teeth.
- 38:57Quinn (Lil Sauce): Do you call them grills?
- 38:59Quinn (Lil Sauce): What?
- 38:59Cameron (Rorick): Isn't that what you put food on?
- 39:01Skyler: Not to.
- 39:02Cameron (Rorick): You live in a strange world.
- 39:04Dave (Maki): I look under her bed.
- 39:07Dave (Maki): Oh, there she is.
- 39:09Skyler: She's like.
- 39:10Skyler: Oh, no.
- 39:10Dave (Maki): You found me.
- 39:12Skyler: Oh, wow.
- 39:12Skyler: Dave, you find two hundred of the missing gold.
- 39:18Dave (Maki): I got magnet.
- 39:19Skyler: I was not expecting it to roll that high.
- 39:21Skyler: That was kind of impressive.
- 39:23Skyler: Probably most important of all
- 39:26Skyler: is what's sitting on top of the
- 39:28Skyler: desk, which thankfully did not
- 39:30Skyler: get burned up by Lil Sauce
- 39:32Skyler: blasting it with his fire
- 39:35Skyler: attack.
- 39:37Skyler: And that is a letter that also, I know that sounds boring.
- 39:41Skyler: It also features that various coding that you've seen before.
- 39:47Cameron (Rorick): I've got the, the, the solution for that thing.
- 39:49Skyler: Sure. This one's in blue instead of red.
- 39:53Cameron (Rorick): Dang it.
- 39:54Cameron (Rorick): But wait, I've got the glasses.
- 39:55Skyler: I was gonna say the glasses have a blue lens.
- 39:57Cameron (Rorick): I doom to the blue lens.
- 39:59Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
- 39:59Cameron (Rorick): I got my Ben. Frank's on.
- 40:01Skyler: Yes. You switched.
- 40:03Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm not sure.
- 40:04Cameron (Rorick): I think that's what they're called right now.
- 40:05Cameron (Rorick): Ben Franks.
- 40:06Quinn (Lil Sauce): Yep. Be Franks.
- 40:08Skyler: To be frank.
- 40:09Cameron (Rorick): Do you think that's what Ben
- 40:10Cameron (Rorick): Franklin always said before he
- 40:11Cameron (Rorick): talked?
- 40:12Cameron (Rorick): He went.
- 40:12Cameron (Rorick): Hey, can I be frank with you?
- 40:14Skyler: They all hated him for it.
- 40:16Skyler: Um, okay.
- 40:17Skyler: So basically, the letter is from
- 40:20Skyler: the same group as the previous
- 40:23Skyler: letter that you found was also
- 40:25Skyler: from.
- 40:25Quinn (Lil Sauce): Uh, Cornelia.
- 40:26Cameron (Rorick): Maxwell.
- 40:27Skyler: Yes. From Cornelia.
- 40:28Cameron (Rorick): The chosen one.
- 40:30Skyler: Well, she's not the chosen one, but she's apparently a leader
- 40:33Skyler: within the organization seeking.
- 40:34Cameron (Rorick): Oh, yeah.
- 40:35Cameron (Rorick): The chosen letter talked about
- 40:37Cameron (Rorick): this check for completing the
- 40:39Cameron (Rorick): necessary preparations.
- 40:41Skyler: Yes. This letter it outlines, she says.
- 40:45Alexandria Duskwalker: Thank you. Alexandria Dusk Walker, for all your cooperation
- 40:49Alexandria Duskwalker: in helping with our plans to spread the euphoria drug across
- 40:54Alexandria Duskwalker: Island Numis, you have been an absolutely necessary part of the
- 40:59Alexandria Duskwalker: planning necessary in order to achieve our goals.
- 41:03Skyler: The next paragraph.
- 41:04Alexandria Duskwalker: With that being said, we are incredibly excited to announce
- 41:08Alexandria Duskwalker: that we believe we have found the Chosen One and will be
- 41:13Alexandria Duskwalker: bringing him on stage tonight at our meeting of the Ascension.
- 41:19Alexandria Duskwalker: We cordially invite you to
- 41:22Alexandria Duskwalker: attend this incredibly important
- 41:24Alexandria Duskwalker: meeting, as it marks the
- 41:26Alexandria Duskwalker: beginning of what will be our
- 41:28Alexandria Duskwalker: inevitable ascendancy to the
- 41:30Alexandria Duskwalker: next world.
- 41:32Alexandria Duskwalker: We hope that you can make it at this upcoming ceremony.
- 41:35Alexandria Duskwalker: Signed Cornelia Maxwell.
- 41:51Cameron (Rorick): Oh, um, guys, um, they're doing that chosen one ceremony
- 41:57Cameron (Rorick): tonight, like right now.
- 42:00Quinn (Lil Sauce): Well, we better book it.
- 42:01Cameron (Rorick): We already know where that place is.
- 42:03Dave (Maki): Oh, that was a good hunch source.
- 42:05Dave (Maki): You're right.
- 42:06Quinn (Lil Sauce): I felt it.
- 42:07Dave (Maki): In my.
- 42:07Quinn (Lil Sauce): Bones.
- 42:09Cameron (Rorick): That's why your hollow bones.
- 42:10Quinn (Lil Sauce): That's why I was the best kenku detective in the land.
- 42:14Cameron (Rorick): Let's go.
- 42:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Right now.
- 42:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Hang on.
- 42:15Quinn (Lil Sauce): Wait, wait, wait.
- 42:18Quinn (Lil Sauce): Can we check her closet to see if she's got any robes so we fit
- 42:21Quinn (Lil Sauce): in when we get there?
- 42:21Cameron (Rorick): Oh. That's smart.
- 42:23Skyler: You do find a closet.
- 42:25Skyler: And although most of it is taken up by various brightly kind of
- 42:29Skyler: pastel colored clothes.
- 42:30Cameron (Rorick): Take em.
- 42:31Skyler: Okay. They're in the bag.
- 42:33Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
- 42:34Skyler: Yeah.
- 42:34Skyler: You throw them into the bag.
- 42:35Skyler: Um, you actually Poppins bag.
- 42:37Skyler: How big is it?
- 42:38Skyler: It is literally.
- 42:39Skyler: It's called.
- 42:40Dave (Maki): The bag of.
- 42:40Skyler: Folding in D and.
- 42:41Dave (Maki): D, and it is.
- 42:42Skyler: A bottomless bag.
- 42:42Skyler: So yeah.
- 42:44Skyler: Yeah, I can't wait.
- 42:45Dave (Maki): Either.
- 42:45Cameron (Rorick): No, it just stay the same.
- 42:47Skyler: No, it's it's another dimension in it.
- 42:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): So if you put a bag of holder inside of a bag.
- 42:52Skyler: And they blow up, it blows up.
- 42:53Skyler: Yep.
- 42:53Skyler: They've turned that.
- 42:55Skyler: Yep.
- 42:55Skyler: Some people say it's a great way to kill.
- 42:56Skyler: It explodes on itself and makes like a black hole.
- 42:59Skyler: You you grab all these clothes, you throw them into your bag,
- 43:01Skyler: which is awesome.
- 43:02Skyler: Um, you actually recognize some of these clothes from, like, the
- 43:05Skyler: portraits that were outside of this room of Alexandria.
- 43:08Skyler: Dusk Walker.
- 43:09Skyler: You're like, oh yeah, this is like the same.
- 43:10Skyler: I'll be.
- 43:11Cameron (Rorick): Honest.
- 43:11Cameron (Rorick): I'm just stuffing.
- 43:12Skyler: Sure. No, that's fine.
- 43:13Skyler: I'm just saying you might if if
- 43:14Skyler: you look at any of them as
- 43:15Skyler: you're pulling it off the
- 43:16Skyler: hanger.
- 43:16Cameron (Rorick): I am thinking about possible clothing matches for the future.
- 43:19Skyler: I'll leave that up to you.
- 43:20Cameron (Rorick): There is an event coming up, guys.
- 43:22Cameron (Rorick): We must be prepared.
- 43:23Cameron (Rorick): Okay.
- 43:24Cameron (Rorick): There's the.
- 43:25Cameron (Rorick): What's that called?
- 43:26Skyler: The blood ball.
- 43:27Dave (Maki): No, the MLM event?
- 43:29Cameron (Rorick): Yeah, the MLM event with.
- 43:30Skyler: The tickets we got.
- 43:31Skyler: Yeah. That's true.
- 43:32Skyler: Yeah, we got a ball.
- 43:33Skyler: You know, we have the fat caps and hats.
- 43:35Skyler: Yeah.
- 43:35Skyler: we have to be thinking ahead for that, guys.
- 43:37Skyler: Okay.
- 43:37Skyler: Yeah.
- 43:38Skyler: So yeah.
- 43:38Skyler: Yeah, I got some matching sets here.
- 43:40Skyler: That's a good idea.
- 43:41Skyler: That's true.
- 43:42Skyler: Uh, you do find a handful of just plain robes.
- 43:46Skyler: They're not in any particular color.
- 43:48Skyler: They're just, like, probably a dark, deep, like navy blue.
- 43:52Skyler: That's not the same color as
- 43:54Skyler: they were all in, like, purple,
- 43:55Skyler: I believe.
- 43:56Skyler: That sounds right.
- 43:56Skyler: Yeah.
- 43:56Skyler: These are more generic you.
- 43:58Skyler: You would see they're either black or navy blue.
- 44:00Skyler: It's kind of hard to tell in the lighting, to be honest with you.
- 44:02Skyler: Um, but they're just general generic dark cloaks.
- 44:06Cameron (Rorick): Does anyone have prestidigitation?
- 44:09Fatty (Keto): Cato's gonna be in looking for an exit strategy.
- 44:11Fatty (Keto): Like windows.
- 44:12Skyler: We could just jump out the window with feather fall again,
- 44:15Skyler: do a perception check.
- 44:16Fatty (Keto): If I can't find a window.
- 44:17Skyler: Investigation if you'd like, I'd say actually, investigation is
- 44:20Skyler: probably better because you're looking for something specific.
- 44:23Fatty (Keto): Investigation is a two total two.
- 44:27Skyler: Oh, man.
- 44:28Skyler: Uh, you look out the window and you think, well, one really
- 44:31Skyler: quick way to get out of here.
- 44:32Fatty (Keto): Is to jump.
- 44:33Skyler: The jump.
- 44:34Dave (Maki): Was Titanfall.
- 44:35Skyler: That's true.
- 44:36Skyler: That is true.
- 44:37Fatty (Keto): Yeah. I'm gonna need to.
- 44:38Fatty (Keto): We've done.
- 44:38Dave (Maki): This.
- 44:38Fatty (Keto): Before.
- 44:39Fatty (Keto): Defer to someone else who is more investigative.
- 44:43Fatty (Keto): Sure.
- 44:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): How far away is the ceremony place from here?
- 44:46Skyler: I'd say you could probably get there between forty five minutes
- 44:50Skyler: to an hour.
- 44:50Quinn (Lil Sauce): I am a flightless bird.
- 44:51Quinn (Lil Sauce): Correct?
- 44:52Skyler: Yes. Are you just gonna.
- 44:53Skyler: Are you gonna jump?
- 44:55Skyler: Batman it all the way over there, staring.
- 44:56Cameron (Rorick): Out the window.
- 44:57Cameron (Rorick): The only.
- 44:57Skyler: Thing that would actually be.
- 44:59Cameron (Rorick): The only person who can get there through flight is Marcie.
- 45:02Cameron (Rorick): Because it's nighttime right now.
- 45:04Dave (Maki): Oh, the.
- 45:04Fatty (Keto): Batman.
- 45:05Skyler: You literally could Batman it over there.
- 45:07Skyler: Dude, that would be so cool.
- 45:09Cameron (Rorick): Oh, shame we don't have teleports.
- 45:11Dave (Maki): We don't have any flight scrolls or anything.
- 45:14Cameron (Rorick): The closest I got is feather fall.
- 45:16Cameron (Rorick): Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.
- 45:19Quinn (Lil Sauce): Oh, the thing that transports from one place to another.
- 45:22Quinn (Lil Sauce): No no no. The rock.
- 45:23Cameron (Rorick): There was a, there was a there was a a magic carpet.
- 45:26Fatty (Keto): Didn't we kill that in March?
- 45:28Quinn (Lil Sauce): I could use enlarge on him.
- 45:31Skyler: Oh, then you all tie ropes to me?
- 45:34Skyler: Yeah, like a balloon or a big pterodactyl.
- 45:38Skyler: A pterodactyl.
- 45:39Skyler: From this height, I would only really have to glide.
- 45:42Skyler: Probably.
- 45:43Quinn (Lil Sauce): I'm gonna make you big.
- 45:44Skyler: Has he used this spell yet?
- 45:46Skyler: Yeah.
- 45:46Skyler: He tried.
- 45:47Skyler: I think he failed.
- 45:48Skyler: I don't think we've ever seen it.
- 45:49Skyler: I am willing.
- 45:50Skyler: Oh, no. We did see it when he shrunk the.
- 45:52Skyler: It only lasts a minute.
- 45:53Skyler: The carpet would decimate.
- 45:54Quinn (Lil Sauce): The duration up to a.
- 45:57Skyler: You know a straight line will be still faster.
- 46:01Cameron (Rorick): And worst case.
- 46:02Cameron (Rorick): Worst case, we start falling in the air.
- 46:06Cameron (Rorick): I cast feather feather fall.
- 46:07Cameron (Rorick): Then.
- 46:08Cameron (Rorick): And then they'll be.
- 46:09Cameron (Rorick): And then they'll be like a minute away.
- 46:11Cameron (Rorick): But then they'll fall.
- 46:13Cameron (Rorick): But we'll be way closer, right?
- 46:15Cameron (Rorick): I like this idea.
- 46:16Cameron (Rorick): Let's do it.
- 46:17Skyler: I think it's cool.
- 46:18Cameron (Rorick): Thanks, jar.
- 46:18Connor (Dez): Jim that's just turns his
- 46:20Connor (Dez): chalkboard around and says, can
- 46:21Connor (Dez): you imagine that flying on a
- 46:22Connor (Dez): giant bird to get to your
- 46:23Connor (Dez): destination?
- 46:24Connor (Dez): Question mark.
- 46:25Skyler: Classic des, classic des.
- 46:28Connor (Dez): Hey, just slowly, like, wipes it down.
- 46:31Skyler: Okay, so.
- 46:32Cameron (Rorick): Wait, wait.
- 46:33Cameron (Rorick): I'm just imagining Maki turning around and going.
- 46:36Cameron (Rorick): Oh, welcome to your in-flight service.
- 46:40Skyler: Welcome to Maki Airlines.
- 46:42Skyler: Let me ask you a question.
- 46:43Skyler: What service?
- 46:44Skyler: With a smile.
- 46:44Skyler: What is Maki's size currently?
- 46:47Skyler: Do you count as a medium creature?
- 46:49Skyler: Yes.
- 46:50Skyler: Okay.
- 46:50Skyler: Okay, so that would make you a large creature.
- 46:53Skyler: Ooh, here's my question.
- 46:56Skyler: How much weight can a large creature hold?
- 46:58Skyler: Can I cast?
- 46:59Skyler: Can it be cast multiple times on the same person?
- 47:04Skyler: Oh, it says cannot be under the same spell, so no. Okay, you
- 47:07Skyler: cannot do that.
- 47:08Skyler: A large character's carrying capacity is its strength score
- 47:10Skyler: multiplied by thirty.
- 47:12Skyler: Dave, what is your strength score?
- 47:14Skyler: Um, it is ten, so about three hundred pounds.
- 47:19Skyler: I weigh about like sixty.
- 47:21Skyler: But even with these two, he probably weighs about eighty.
- 47:26Fatty (Keto): How do I say how big I am?
- 47:28Skyler: Part of character creation or well, small.
- 47:30Skyler: Well, I don't think they are.
- 47:31Cameron (Rorick): Or like.
- 47:31Skyler: one hundred and forty.
- 47:32Skyler: I don't know how heavy a kenku is because they're hollow.
- 47:37Cameron (Rorick): Their bones are hollow.
- 47:39Skyler: So they're like fifty two and
- 47:41Skyler: one hundred and forty six
- 47:42Skyler: pounds.
- 47:43Skyler: So if you're with an average of about seventy five, what.
- 47:46Dave (Maki): If I polymorph.
- 47:47Skyler: Into a bat and.
- 47:48Dave (Maki): Then he casts it.
- 47:49Cameron (Rorick): Then wouldn't it be smaller?
- 47:50Skyler: Is it a regular sized bat?
- 47:52Skyler: Yeah, probably.
- 47:53Cameron (Rorick): You'll be a lot smaller.
- 47:55Cameron (Rorick): I think we're light enough.
- 47:57Cameron (Rorick): We're small.
- 47:58Skyler: I think you'd be just under the limit.
- 48:02Skyler: And I think that's fair.
- 48:03Skyler: Okay, I like that.
- 48:05Cameron (Rorick): Let's try it.
- 48:05Cameron (Rorick): Worst case scenario, I cast feather.
- 48:08Skyler: He's got a backup plan.
- 48:09Skyler: I don't know why we're.
- 48:10Skyler: We're discussing.
- 48:11Cameron (Rorick): Let's just try it.
- 48:11Cameron (Rorick): If it doesn't work, feather fall like we.
- 48:14Cameron (Rorick): We already have this plan.
- 48:15Skyler: Let's do it.
- 48:16Skyler: Alright.
- 48:16Skyler: So are you casting confirm
- 48:19Skyler: reduce or or I guess enlarge and
- 48:22Skyler: get.
- 48:22Dave (Maki): The ropes tied on.
- 48:24Quinn (Lil Sauce): The rope on.
- 48:24Skyler: first.
- 48:25Skyler: Okay.
- 48:25Cameron (Rorick): Yeah. Or just.
- 48:25Skyler: Tying them loosely.
- 48:26Cameron (Rorick): Legs or.
- 48:27Skyler: Something. Well, I would assume
- 48:28Skyler: loosely because you're about to
- 48:29Skyler: expand.
- 48:30Dave (Maki): Well, no. Everything that's.
- 48:31Skyler: Oh. That's true.
- 48:32Skyler: Yeah. Okay.
- 48:33Cameron (Rorick): Including the ropes.
- 48:34Skyler: Okay, so you all tie ropes
- 48:36Skyler: between your waists and his
- 48:38Skyler: parts.
- 48:40Skyler: This is gonna look weird when you land.
- 48:42Skyler: And then you return back to normal shape, and you've just
- 48:44Skyler: got, like, leashes.
- 48:47Skyler: Whatever the case.
- 48:48Skyler: Uh, yes.
- 48:48Skyler: So you're all tied to him.
- 48:50Skyler: Uh, Lil sauce.
- 48:50Skyler: You can enlarge and reduce.
- 48:52Skyler: There's nothing he has to roll
- 48:53Skyler: because he's accepting to the
- 48:54Skyler: enlargement.
- 48:55Skyler: You guys open up.
- 48:56Skyler: There's, like, a patio outside.
- 48:58Cameron (Rorick): Oh, it's very plain.
- 49:00Skyler: Just a stone patio.
- 49:01Skyler: There's maybe some plants and stuff.
- 49:02Fatty (Keto): So we could have grappled.
- 49:03Cameron (Rorick): Up to this the whole time.
- 49:05Skyler: Uh, no, because the architect had mentioned to you that the
- 49:09Skyler: walls of this building were probably magically trapped.
- 49:12Skyler: So you would have been fighting those all the way.
- 49:14Skyler: Uh, with that being said, you come out onto the patio all
- 49:16Skyler: strapped on enlarged marquee, uh, with his cloak.
- 49:20Skyler: It is night time.
- 49:21Skyler: Therefore it is active.
- 49:22Skyler: Leaps into the air, pulling you all over the edge, maybe a
- 49:29Skyler: little bit reluctantly.
- 49:31Skyler: Until you're all just flying over the city of Ireland.
- 49:35Skyler: No more floating.
- 49:36Cameron (Rorick): Hey. Hey, Maki Have I ever told you how cool you look?
- 49:41Skyler: Oh, thanks.
- 49:43Skyler: Uh, within a minute's time, you're able to traverse a
- 49:47Skyler: significant portion of the city.
- 49:48Skyler: Not having to worry about the streets, the the twists and
- 49:52Skyler: turns of the city, the buildings and structures in your way.
- 49:57Skyler: Straight beeline.
- 49:58Skyler: Right to what I would say is the
- 50:01Skyler: probably the nearest roof of the
- 50:03Skyler: Wakanda district, putting you
- 50:05Skyler: guys maybe five minutes walking
- 50:08Skyler: to the facility that you guys
- 50:10Skyler: have been to once before, where
- 50:11Skyler: they have the cults of the
- 50:12Skyler: ascendancy.
- 50:13Skyler: Meet you guys, climb down.
- 50:15Cameron (Rorick): Yeah, book.
- 50:15Skyler: It. And I'm assuming untie yourselves from Aki.
- 50:18Cameron (Rorick): No, he's dragging us along.
- 50:20Dave (Maki): Come on guys.
- 50:22Skyler: It's like an annoyed parent with those like those child leashes.
- 50:26Cameron (Rorick): I don't.
- 50:27Cameron (Rorick): Want to.
- 50:28Cameron (Rorick): I want.
- 50:28Cameron (Rorick): Candy bar.
- 50:29Skyler: Um, and inevitably you guys get
- 50:31Skyler: once again to the building where
- 50:34Skyler: you've seen the cult of
- 50:35Skyler: ascendancy do their rituals
- 50:37Skyler: before.
- 50:38Skyler: And you can see there's still a couple of people like the line
- 50:41Skyler: is short at this point.
- 50:42Skyler: Remember how last time you guys were here, there was a line that
- 50:44Skyler: was kind of going around.
- 50:45Skyler: You guys got in before everybody.
- 50:47Skyler: This time you guys must be
- 50:48Skyler: coming near towards like,
- 50:50Skyler: everybody better be in or you're
- 50:51Skyler: going to miss out on the
- 50:52Skyler: ceremony because the line is
- 50:53Skyler: short.
- 50:54Skyler: Okay.
- 50:55Skyler: Uh, do you guys get in line?
- 50:56Skyler: I'm assuming.
- 50:57Skyler: Yeah, sure.
- 50:57Skyler: Okay.
- 50:58Skyler: You get in line.
- 50:58Skyler: Line comes closer.
- 51:00Skyler: Uh, there's a guy standing there.
- 51:02Skyler: Honestly, all he does is just
- 51:04Skyler: kind of give you guys the up and
- 51:05Skyler: down.
- 51:06Cameron (Rorick): Praising you, and I walk in.
- 51:08Skyler: He looks confused, and then he just shakes his head.
- 51:11Skyler: Anyone else have any comments as they walk in?
- 51:14Dave (Maki): Let us ascend.
- 51:16Dave (Maki): Um. He he nods.
- 51:18Skyler: Uh, with a with a sorry.
- 51:20Skyler: Let's say.
- 51:23Dave (Maki): He.
- 51:23Skyler: He nods, but a little bit more like confused.
- 51:27Skyler: And he he kind of looks he goes.
- 51:29Skyler: That's a familiar mask.
- 51:30Skyler: All right.
- 51:31Skyler: Go on in.
- 51:31Quinn (Lil Sauce): I walk by and.
- 51:36Skyler: He kind of just nods and he kind
- 51:37Skyler: of looks like, oh, it's one of
- 51:39Skyler: those guys that's a little over
- 51:40Skyler: committed.
- 51:41Skyler: And you go inside.
- 51:42Cameron (Rorick): Yeah. He's been.
- 51:43Fatty (Keto): Committed.
- 51:44Cameron (Rorick): All right.
- 51:44Skyler: Mocky, anything to say or do you just go.
- 51:46Skyler: You can just go in to.
- 51:48Fatty (Keto): As Quito walks in.
- 51:49Fatty (Keto): He, uh, his hand is in his
- 51:51Fatty (Keto): pocket or whatever, and he feels
- 51:52Fatty (Keto): this ring.
- 51:53Fatty (Keto): He's like, oh my goodness, I have an invisibility ring.
- 51:56Fatty (Keto): So he puts it on.
- 51:58Dave (Maki): Yep.
- 51:59Skyler: Mhm. Roll a dexterity saving throw.
- 52:01Skyler: See anything with advantage.
- 52:04Fatty (Keto): Twenty three. Twenty seven.
- 52:08Fatty (Keto): Nope. Not twenty seventeen.
- 52:09Fatty (Keto): Seventeen.
- 52:10Skyler: Seventeen.
- 52:10Skyler: Do you want to roll with advantage?
- 52:12Skyler: Sure.
- 52:12Skyler: Just in case.
- 52:14Fatty (Keto): No.
- 52:15Skyler: Okay. So seventeen.
- 52:16Skyler: Uh, I think the second you turn invisible?
- 52:19Skyler: The guard lurches forward to try to grab you, but all he gets is
- 52:23Skyler: air and he quickly just, like, looks around and he looks a
- 52:26Skyler: little bit concerned.
- 52:27Skyler: There's not really much he can do about it.
- 52:29Skyler: Des, you're the last one to walk in.
- 52:30Skyler: Technically.
- 52:31Skyler: Are you?
- 52:31Skyler: Are you?
- 52:32Skyler: I mean, at this point, he's so distracted.
- 52:33Skyler: He's looking around.
- 52:34Connor (Dez): He just walks right past him.
- 52:36Connor (Dez): Maybe he goes like a little sup?
- 52:37Skyler: Yeah, yeah, he just ignores you.
- 52:39Skyler: Um, I think he he probably runs off to go find somebody to try
- 52:42Skyler: to help him.
- 52:43Skyler: Or maybe just inform them that somebody here is invisible.
- 52:46Skyler: Invisible.
- 52:47Cameron (Rorick): All right, we walk in.
- 52:48Skyler: All right, you guys are in.
- 52:49Skyler: Once again, just an absolute mass of people in here.
- 52:53Skyler: It's a huge crowd.
- 52:55Skyler: And they're all cheering.
- 52:56Skyler: They're excited.
- 52:57Skyler: You see them talking amongst each other?
- 52:59Skyler: It's loud.
- 52:59Skyler: It's pretty loud in here.
- 53:00Skyler: Um, and then three figures, all in dark purple cloaks.
- 53:05Skyler: Once again.
- 53:06Skyler: Get out.
- 53:07Skyler: That's right.
- 53:07Skyler: Them again.
- 53:08Skyler: Walk out on stage.
- 53:10Skyler: These are the three members the
- 53:12Skyler: Oracle, the ritualist and the
- 53:14Skyler: conservator.
- 53:16Skyler: And they take the stage.
- 53:18Skyler: The Oracle steps forward and asks, is there anyone who would
- 53:22Skyler: like to volunteer to see if you are the chosen one?
- 53:27Skyler: I have in best authority the knowledge that someone here
- 53:33Skyler: tonight is the chosen one.
- 53:36Skyler: If anyone would like to volunteer, it could be you.
- 53:41Skyler: Don't hesitate.
- 53:43Cameron (Rorick): Yes. Put your hand down.
- 53:44Cameron (Rorick): You did this already?
- 53:46Connor (Dez): Now it's like he's fighting with him to, like, get his little
- 53:49Connor (Dez): wing up and.
- 53:51Cameron (Rorick): Trying to pull it down.
- 53:53Skyler: As you guys are wrestling, one
- 53:54Skyler: thing that you also notice is
- 53:55Skyler: that the numbers here aren't
- 53:57Skyler: quite as large as they have
- 54:00Skyler: been.
- 54:00Skyler: You wonder if maybe a few more people have tried to, uh, in
- 54:05Skyler: the, in the meantime, since you guys have been here or even
- 54:08Skyler: before that, um, to see if they were in fact the chosen one.
- 54:12Skyler: And of course we're not.
- 54:14Skyler: And we all saw what happened when they did that.
- 54:17Skyler: With that being said, nobody
- 54:19Skyler: raises their hand for a good
- 54:21Skyler: 30s.
- 54:23Cameron (Rorick): Feel the smart ones are still alive.
- 54:25Skyler: That's.
- 54:25Skyler: I suppose you're right.
- 54:27Skyler: Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out from the crowd, just kind of
- 54:33Skyler: a quick hey raises a hand and a light kind of shoots out and and
- 54:40Skyler: lights over where he's at.
- 54:41Skyler: You guys can't see because
- 54:42Skyler: there's, there's people that are
- 54:43Skyler: taller than you that are all
- 54:44Skyler: around you, but you can see the
- 54:45Skyler: light move over a certain spot
- 54:46Skyler: where you heard the voice come
- 54:47Skyler: from.
- 54:48Skyler: You watch as the crowds are kind of shuffling and moving.
- 54:53Skyler: You can hear the people around
- 54:54Skyler: you sort of like, oh, oh, there
- 54:57Skyler: he goes.
- 54:58Skyler: Maybe it's him.
- 54:59Skyler: And inevitably this individual reaches the stage.
- 55:03Skyler: The Oracle goes to greet him and
- 55:06Skyler: help him up, and you watch as
- 55:09Skyler: sprout.
- 55:10Skyler: The halfling is taken up onto the stage.
- 55:15Skyler: Sprout the halfling kid from the Rock bottoms organization and
- 55:19Skyler: that sat in on the jury for little saw steps onto the stage.
- 55:24Skyler: The three leaders welcome him to join them, and they lock hands
- 55:28Skyler: and begin the chant, the same chant they've done before.
- 55:32Skyler: The crowd joins in with this chant as you guys watch.
- 55:36Skyler: Once again, this life force aura that flows out of sprout through
- 55:42Skyler: his arm or down his arm, through his hand into the Oracle.
- 55:46Skyler: The Oracle lets out a gasp as the light flows into the stone,
- 55:52Skyler: which in turn begins to glow, almost violently illuminating
- 55:56Skyler: the entire area.
- 55:59Skyler: Uh, almost blinding all of you with the intensity of the light.
- 56:04Skyler: The other two leaders in.
- 56:06Skyler: Amidst the the.
- 56:07Skyler: Your ability to push past this brightness.
- 56:09Skyler: You watch as the other two
- 56:10Skyler: leaders turned to look as if
- 56:12Skyler: surprised by this strange new
- 56:14Skyler: occurrence.
- 56:15Skyler: After a moment, the glow begins to fade and the aura flows back
- 56:19Skyler: through the hand of the oracle and back into sprout, who lets
- 56:23Skyler: out a momentary glow before he snaps from it.
- 56:27Skyler: The Oracle lifts the ball into the air and shouts.
- 56:31Skyler: Ladies and gentlemen, we have found the Chosen One!
- 56:36Skyler: Sprout beams with excitement as
- 56:38Skyler: the ritualist and the
- 56:39Skyler: conservator lead sprout behind
- 56:41Skyler: the curtain.
- 56:42Skyler: The crowd erupts in a cheer all around you for a couple of
- 56:46Skyler: seconds as you see sprout beaming ear to ear.
- 56:50Skyler: As he's led back behind the
- 56:51Skyler: stage, the Oracle holds up their
- 56:53Skyler: hands, bringing the crowd to a
- 56:55Skyler: silence, and then addresses
- 56:57Skyler: everyone attending friends and
- 57:00Skyler: supporters.
- 57:01Skyler: We are one large step closer to the promised ascendency.
- 57:07Skyler: Go home.
- 57:08Skyler: Celebrate with your families for soon.
- 57:11Skyler: We move on to the next world.
- 57:14Skyler: Please be advised, though, that
- 57:16Skyler: we have received word that the
- 57:17Skyler: pretender has sent avatars in
- 57:19Skyler: his place to attempt to thwart
- 57:21Skyler: our mission.
- 57:22Skyler: Keep your eyes and ears open to his ploys, and don't hesitate to
- 57:26Skyler: take action against those who would stand in our way, for he
- 57:30Skyler: has promised great rewards in the world to come for those that
- 57:34Skyler: defend his plans.
- 57:36Skyler: The crowd once again erupts into cheering, and after a few
- 57:39Skyler: moments, the cheering dies down and the oracle continues.
- 57:43Skyler: With that being said, you will notice some very large events
- 57:49Skyler: taking place amidst the city in the coming days.
- 57:52Skyler: If all goes according to plan, we will ascend from the city and
- 57:56Skyler: into the next world by the end of this week at the latest.
- 58:01Skyler: Once again, the crowd erupts into excitement.
- 58:04Skyler: Yes, yes, this is incredibly exciting.
- 58:07Skyler: So do not be afraid with what you see.
- 58:10Skyler: Go home, enjoy some euphoria and
- 58:13Skyler: rest your bodies for the tasks
- 58:15Skyler: you will be called to in the
- 58:16Skyler: coming week.
- 58:17Skyler: You will need your strength.
- 58:19Skyler: We will bring doom to the
- 58:20Skyler: pretender and arise to the
- 58:22Skyler: greater plain.
- 58:23Skyler: Thanks to the blessed help of he who sees all.
- 58:27Skyler: Finally the crowd erupts with cheers one last time as they
- 58:31Skyler: proceed to exit the warehouse.
- 58:33Skyler: The smiles of those who pass by
- 58:35Skyler: and the excited shouts and
- 58:37Skyler: whispers suggest the followers
- 58:38Skyler: have been reignited with passion
- 58:40Skyler: for whatever this cult has
- 58:42Skyler: planned next.
- 58:44Skyler: And with that, we'll close out this episode.
