  SPEAKER_01: Upon reaching their destination last time,
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: secondhand souls encountered a growing crowd with two individuals speaking loudly.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: These individuals were later revealed as Raul SD and Naomi SD.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: They were recruiting for a movement against the oppressive political powers within
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: and beyond Keldis.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: They began trying to recruit Joaquim and Krakka,
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: but Joaquim shot back and made some in the crowd rethink their position.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: After a heated debate,
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: half the crowd went with Raul and Naomi while the other half stayed behind.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: Kaida landed Poppy and offered her services from
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: the Second Hand Souls Guild once it is established.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: Those that remained agreed to seek more peaceful means to their grievances and left.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: The group then went into Obscure Ivory and Company to purchase their home here.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: They met Gael Verna
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: the one in charge of Obscure Ivory, and she seemed flustered.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: After some conversation and negotiating,
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yenor leased the building across the way for the first location of
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: the Second Hand Souls Guild.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now they await their food, some rest, and an official agreement.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: This is where we're going to pick up.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: He said we essentially have a bastion now.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: yeah it's gonna be treated like a bastion slash business
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: of sorts business okay interesting it's gonna be it's it's it's
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: it's gonna be
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: a guild once it's set up um
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Having a bastion is fun,
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: but throwing a little twist in there is a little more fun and specifically you,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: Joakim and Yenor and Kaida have experience in operating within the confines of
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: a guild and have seen both the benefits and frustrations of doing so.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I thought it was a fun way to see what you all can come up with.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: and Chaka, Lala,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: and Needle,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: you've all operated under different sets of rules,
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: being pirates,
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: and now have a way to put those skills to a more useful outcome
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: once Yenor reviews
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: the contract and make sure everything is fine.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: However, for the time being, you're all in Obscure Ivory and Company.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: You're waiting for
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: Miss Verna to get your drinks and food.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Is there anything you would all like to do in the present moment
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: as she is ordering around her little automatons in the kitchen?
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to go find myself a seat and pull out the flyer and see if that's what the flyer says.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: The flyer from the political rally.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the two loud mouths outside.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: So you sit down, you pull out the flyer.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: So it's got a, again, a picture of just generic humanoids all standing up and chanting.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: There's a rallying cry on it to say, stand up against our oppressors.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: Take back your freedom.

  SPEAKER_00: the
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: the artwork that's on the flyer is there any like weird symbols or anything like
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: that that kind of stands out even through like these can't or something
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: There's nothing that stands out, but you can make an investigation check.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Seven.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: You rolled a seven?
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Or a nine?

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, plus two.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, a nine.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, you can't really make anything out.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin wouldn't really be doing too much at the moment.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_03: I suppose I'm supposed to be on my best behavior anyway.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Which I would...
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, go ahead.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_03: Which I resent
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Like what is your best behavior even look like are you not just
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_03: not stealing anything That's your best behavior Basically Not stealing anything not
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: you know just not being a general terror Although if there's some
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: of those free bank lollipops around there's none less
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: can't take you anywhere.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like usually a whole jar of those things.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: So you just snatch the jar.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: You know, the jar is there.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's just empty.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there are bar snacks.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: Bar snacks at the bank?
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't a bank.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is a guild.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I don't know.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: When I think of guilds, I think of banks.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: Like, they're still very bank-like.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: I guess if there are any attractive people here, Joaquin would try and chat them up.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Walk around, check it out.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_03: Attractive guilds?
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_03: I guess I have to learn what guilds are like.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe it's like a lion's head
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_03: Lions Club.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know why I was going to say Lions Head Club.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_03: Or a Moose Lodge.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a meeting hall for adventurers.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: A social gathering hall where people can come to hang out or find fellow adventurers
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: to go do adventure things.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_03: It's an adventure reunion.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: We speak on many things.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: Workers' rights.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: They are important.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_03: So we started our own union?
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry, go ahead.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: So we've started our own union here.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_03: Kaida and we have begun our own union.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Kaida's not inside with you guys.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: No, I was just
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_03: We've discovered that I don't 100% understand the concept of a guild,
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_03: and I landed on the idea that it's like a union, an adventurer's union.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Secondhand souls, the adventurer's union.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: Workers' rights.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Colon.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: How do you enforce safety for adventurers?
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they should at least...
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: OSHA?
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the proper PPE provided, at minimum.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: Going into a slime cave?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Here's a scuba diving suit.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Gotta have that proper PPE.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they do... Go ahead.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_03: I was gonna say they do regulatory weapons maintenance.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh god.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Regulatory rules for weapons?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know, maintenance.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_03: Making sure that you don't swing at a bad guy and it,
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: you know, cracks off on his skull bone and flies back into your eye socket.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we don't want to be sending adventurers after their death.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: We want them to be successful.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: Police forces have that, right?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Unions?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: Not in D&D.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: 100% any police force is making sure that their officers are checking their weapons
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_02: and making sure everything is functioning properly.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Loosely.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's a quarterly review where they're all cleaned.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, quarters don't work in this.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: There's 13 months.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_03: fiscal year then.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: Four times per fiscal year.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like it should be done way more often than that.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: I am not writing regulatory rules for weapons checks so you can be OSHA.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: Like I said, apparently I just didn't really grasp what
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: what a guild looks like.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_03: Because you said there's bar snacks and I'm picturing it like a bank.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_01: It depends on the guild.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: This one has bar snacks.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: Is it in front of a bank teller?
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: Is it the bank teller with beer nests?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: There are no banks in this guild.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is more of a tavernish guild.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: place where you come to get your necessities and refreshments.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: They are.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: This was listed as a trade guild, like a merchant guild, but it's not a banking guild.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: So they might handle the transactions, but not the actual money.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_03: Trade money for goods.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquin was looking for attractive people.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: There's only the two passed out Goliaths in the back corner or, you know, you guys.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: we are very attractive or i guess that miss varna the one in charge of
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: the guild
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: didn't you say she was gay that doesn't matter

  SPEAKER_01: Personally, they haven't had any alcohol for at least 16 hours.

• 38:02
  SPEAKER_01: and feeding you and everything she said she'd have the paperwork ready

  SPEAKER_01: by later this evening or the next morning at the latest that's why I thought we were
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: at a bank
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: So then she's not even going to have the paperwork ready until the evening?
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_01: You guys just walked in and asked to buy and worked out the deal for the building.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, okay, okay.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_01: Because you were originally looking to purchase the warehouse and then she said
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_01: that there was a building across the way ready.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so then I guess I'll just ask her, is there anything we need to know about the building?
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_01: It hasn't been occupied for...
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: a while.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Has it been occupied for a while?
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_01: Is it haunted?
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you being so vague here?
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: Usually people back out the deal after they hear how long it's been unoccupied for.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean and I kind of look back to the group this is something we'd like
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_00: to know yeah I mean
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_03: unless it's haunted I don't understand why how long it's been unoccupied would
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_03: matter except for the layers of dust yeah the the time period
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: of vacancy doesn't bother me but the reasoning of why it's been vacant for
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_01: so long been vacant for for a few years a few hundred
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_01: But why?
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: No, just a few years, not a few hundred.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_01: People said that it was...
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_01: Haunted?
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_01: We'll go with haunted.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_03: I knew it.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_03: oh good job lala
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: She shrugs.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_03: This is why you never buy used stuff.

• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: Still not getting on the floor, either.
• 44:34
  Nope.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just that since...
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: We're dealing with possible haunted or cursed.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just trying to look for reasoning as we, as I walk around.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: you can make an investigation check or anyone can make an investigation check or
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_01: a perception check.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know magic things, but I could perceive perhaps.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: Eonora's going to make an investigation check, I assume?
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_03: I've got a 19 plus 6, 25 for perception.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_01: 25 for perception?
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: And a 26 for investigation.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_01: Between the two of you, you find
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_01: in this back corner, there is a hatch that goes down.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_01: Looks like it hasn't been touched in a very long time.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_01: and specifically you Yanor in this in the derelict
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: fireplace
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_01: you find
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_01: a
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_01: weathered rolled up scroll
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_02: hey Wakim can you cast detect magic
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_03: Who would hide a scroll in a fireplace?
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_03: That's like the worst place to hide it.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin kind of narrows his eyes.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's a great place to hide things if you want them to eventually be destroyed.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'll bust Detect Magic.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: So, Joaquin, you're putting up your... Detect Magic?
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_01: Where is...
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_01: Arnos.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_01: Is that a 15 foot radius, right?
• 46:35
  SPEAKER_01: Is that a 30 foot radius?
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: 30 foot.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_01: 30 foot radius.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_01: You'll have to move because you know, so Lala found a hatch.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, came over here next to Krakka, found something in the fireplace.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_01: So you are going to have to move at least a little bit, Wakim.
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_01: like you have to just get you nor in your detect magic.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that'll work.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's a 30 foot sphere of detect magic, right?
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like it can you can detect magic through surfaces.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on, because there is specificity there.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_00: Let me double check.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_00: Spells and detect magic.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_00: It is a 30-foot sphere.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you sense magic in this way,
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_00: you can use the interactions to see a faint aura around any visible creature
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: or object in the area that bears magic.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_00: and you learned its school of magic, if any.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: The spell can penetrate most barriers,
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_00: but it is blocked by one foot of stone,
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_00: one inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or three feet of wood or dirt.
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, you don't detect anything differently magical.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_01: You detect all your magical items, obviously.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_01: But no, the scroll doesn't light up as magical or anything for you.
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_03: Where's this hatch goat?
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I was unmuted.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_00: I would just say that I got nothing.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's just us.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yanora would just slip it in her pocket.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: and try to read it
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_02: or figure another stuff out.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_02: This is probably trash.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_00: It was meant to be trash.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_00: But why was it trash?
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_03: Open it.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_03: Read it.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_03: There could be juicy secrets in there.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_03: What are you doing?
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_02: Fine.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_02: She pulls it back out and she opens it very carefully because it's dusty and old.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_01: What's it say?
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_01: Very dusty.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_01: It is very old.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_01: And the text is extremely hard to read.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_01: However, you rolled a 26.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_01: That the chest in the basement must be kept locked.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_02: that's it
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_01: thing about don't break the seal on the chest.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_02: Don't break the seal.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_02: Keep it locked.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_02: And where's the lady?
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: She's just kind of watching, observing you all explore.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_02: Would you say this was used for?
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_01: That's hasn't been used in years.
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_02: That's not what I asked.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was previously some type of guild.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_01: That was my predecessor that handled that contract.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_01: My predecessor mysteriously vanished one day.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah?
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_02: Is she acting fishy at all?
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_03: No?
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_03: Was it down this hatch?
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_02: How about you go down the hatch first?
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_01: The hatch is locked.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_03: I can open it.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_01: You can try.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_03: I can.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_03: Is it a padlock?
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_03: What kind of lock?
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_01: It is a very thick iron lock with multiple keyholes.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_03: Time to pick.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_00: I will come over to assist.
• 51:11

• 51:24
  SPEAKER_01: 1930-20 She is attempting to pick the lock.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_01: You make out baited text that has been written over on
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_01: the scroll like someone was trying to conceal it.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_01: Key of the Ancient, Blood of the Pure, and Touch of the Tainted.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_02: Key of the Ancient, Blood of the Pure, Touch of Tainted.

  SPEAKER_00: Wait, what?

  SPEAKER_02: Where's Kaida?
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_01: Outside with Poppy and Iris.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_02: Can I like stick my head out the door and call for her to land and tell her this?
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, sure.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: She doesn't even have to land.
• 52:18
  SPEAKER_02: She could just kind of... Get your butt down here.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_02: subtle subtlety.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not screaming this across the courtyard.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_01: And she can't land in the alley.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's not wide enough.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_02: This is the front door somewhere.
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, that's the alleys.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_01: They're both alley sides.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_02: I swore they had a front door in their thing.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_01: No, this is the side that faces the square.
• 52:47
  SPEAKER_01: So this side faces the square.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_01: These two sides are alleys.
• 52:56
  SPEAKER_02: This is such a weirdly built building.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_02: OK, yeah, I'll say it up to her, but quietly.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_01: What about it?
• 53:14

• 54:01
  SPEAKER_01: You could...
• 54:04
  SPEAKER_01: If you inspirationed it and Krakow was helping,
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_01: you can roll again to get the advantage that he would have granted you.

  SPEAKER_03: So are you saying I should roll again?
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.

• 54:50
  SPEAKER_01: as you're working them the first two were false keyholes
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_01: and that's why you couldn't pick them so you get to the third one

  SPEAKER_01: in a in a held in a some kind of
• 1:06:26
  SPEAKER_01: apparatus.
• 1:06:29
  SPEAKER_03: Clearly this was a guild of ho-witches.
• 1:06:37
  SPEAKER_01: You see, uh,
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_01: Miss Varna's kind of just wide-eyed,
• 1:06:40
  SPEAKER_01: like, I thought this was just a storage basement.
• 1:06:47
  SPEAKER_00: So, Einor, if I break this, do the pieces still stay lit?
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_02: That is a good question.
• 1:06:59
  SPEAKER_00: Do you care if I try?
• 1:07:00
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on, I'm reading the rules.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_02: The spell ends if I cast it again or dismiss it as an action.
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say based on the spell ruling,
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_01: if you break the object that has light on it,
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_01: you'll have two objects that have light on it.
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_01: So yes, it will maintain its light if you would like to try.
• 1:07:31
  SPEAKER_00: So then I'm gonna try to smash it into like four or five different pieces.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_01: Doesn't take much effort to do that.
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna throw the pieces around the room like they're flares.
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_01: So...
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_01: that's what i was looking for
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_01: They're drawings.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_01: So.
• 1:08:17
  SPEAKER_01: I will say this does affect the light a little bit.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_01: In the sense that.
• 1:08:26
  SPEAKER_01: Do circles.
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want them to be that.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_01: Is that lighting?
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_01: We'll say radiant if that makes the most sense
• 1:08:55
  SPEAKER_01: If you throw him around the room
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_01: ones there.
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_01: Make this better.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: Build.
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_01: Say one's like there, one's there, one's there, one's there.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_01: And Krakka effectively lit up the room by throwing pieces around it.
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_02: Where were the chests again?
• 1:10:05
  SPEAKER_01: so there's one here between two
• 1:10:10
  SPEAKER_01: fracked and broken stone chairs
• 1:10:16
  SPEAKER_01: there's one in front
• 1:10:19
  SPEAKER_01: of each of the broken statues
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_01: and then there is one right next to
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_01: where you guys came down the ladder that's still closed there's an open one
• 1:10:33
  SPEAKER_01: over there as well
• 1:10:40
  SPEAKER_02: And the scroll didn't give any indication into which one?
• 1:10:44
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:10:45
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:10:51
  SPEAKER_00: What did it say exactly about the chest?
• 1:10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Besides not to open it.
• 1:11:00
  SPEAKER_01: The first part says to open it.
• 1:11:02
  SPEAKER_01: The second part says key of the ancient, blood of the pure, and touch of the tainted.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_00: I thought there was just a part between the acid part of being sealed or like something.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's, um...
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_01: It says to keep the chest locked in the basement and don't break the seal.
• 1:11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, just the seal of the lock.
• 1:11:30
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:11:31
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe the lock looks a little different than a regular chest lock?
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe?
• 1:11:38
  SPEAKER_02: Can I inspect each of the chests?
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_01: Sure, go ahead and make an investigation check.
• 1:11:46
  SPEAKER_02: Just one, or?
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_01: It depends on the check.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_02: 24.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Alright.
• 1:12:02
  SPEAKER_01: So, the big chest is unlocked.
• 1:12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_01: The two wooden chests in front of the statues are locked.
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_01: This tiny chest is locked and the tiny chest right here that's at the bottom of
• 1:12:20
  SPEAKER_01: the stairs is also glowing with arcane energy.
• 1:12:30
  SPEAKER_01: As are some items within these two chests.
• 1:12:36
  SPEAKER_00: One of the chests is glowing with arcane energy?
• 1:12:39
  SPEAKER_01: so the small tiny chest is glowing with arcane energy like itself and
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_01: then these two wooden chests items inside of them are glowing with arcane energy
• 1:12:49
  SPEAKER_02: and you said these two are unlocked no they're locked which one was the one in
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_00: the back is unlocked correct okay I let them know about the
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_00: the ones emitting arcane energy

  SPEAKER_00: it like left open unlocked or like dummy locked
• 1:13:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean it's latched
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_01: but there's no lock on it
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_00: so you can open it right I would just say like
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_00: if it can be if something was be sealed in it but and it was latched
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_00: so they couldn't get out but there wasn't a lock on it that's all I was looking

  SPEAKER_00: for just close like a normal chest gotcha I'm gonna pick it up attempt to pick it up
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_00: if I can and bring it over to the rest of the chest is bolted to the floor

• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'll go

  SPEAKER_00: over with him well I mean if this is the only one that's unlocked and all

  SPEAKER_01: There is no magical essence coming off of this chest.
• 1:16:17
  SPEAKER_01: However,
• 1:16:18
  SPEAKER_01: off of the broken urn that is now in your range,
• 1:16:22
  SPEAKER_01: the broken ceramics on each of these tables and the tipped over cauldron,
• 1:16:26

• 1:23:55
  SPEAKER_01: of witches I don't see any curses here whatsoever
• 1:24:03
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know maybe

• 1:24:16
  SPEAKER_01: Joachim, you hear a voice in your head that you haven't heard in some time.
• 1:24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hey!

  SPEAKER_01: No, it's Nosferatu.
• 1:24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Oh!
• 1:24:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I've ever heard Nosferatu in my head.
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_01: He's spoken to all of you occasionally.
• 1:24:42
  SPEAKER_01: But it's been a while.
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't like you all as much.
• 1:24:47
  SPEAKER_00: What do you want, knife?
• 1:24:54

  SPEAKER_01: that she said you could explain to me better.
• 1:25:27
  SPEAKER_01: I
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_00: won't explain anything to you if you're just going to be riding around on the back
• 1:25:34
  SPEAKER_00: of this demon child.
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_01: And you're one to talk, you got a demon in your brain.

  SPEAKER_01: She said there's something about a curse down here or something.
• 1:26:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't sense nothing.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_00: I've gotten a curse.
• 1:26:06
  SPEAKER_00: There's some weird arcane magic going off of some of these things,
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_00: but I don't see anything in here.
• 1:26:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's all just very peculiar.
• 1:26:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's not helpful.
• 1:26:21
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why you trust him.
• 1:26:31
  SPEAKER_01: Lala.

• 1:27:07
  SPEAKER_01: If there's a curse,
• 1:27:08
  SPEAKER_01: one of these chests has to have some kind of...
• 1:27:11
  SPEAKER_03: Something signifying that... Alright, so let's go check them out!

  SPEAKER_01: Nosferatu goes through the metal Or goes through the wood And hits something metal
• 1:28:38
  SPEAKER_00: On the inside What are you, checking for mimics?
• 1:28:46
  SPEAKER_03: Nope Horsets
• 1:28:53
  SPEAKER_03: Does it seem cursy in there?
• 1:28:55
  Nope.
• 1:28:57
  SPEAKER_01: Just like it's storing something.
• 1:29:00
  SPEAKER_03: Something like a curse?
• 1:29:04
  SPEAKER_01: Something metal.
• 1:29:07
  SPEAKER_03: Are curses metal?
• 1:29:11
  SPEAKER_01: You're not sure.
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_03: Correct.
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not.
• 1:29:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I asked.
• 1:29:18
  SPEAKER_01: Are you asking out loud if curses are metal?
• 1:29:21
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:29:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she's doing all her talking out loud right now.
• 1:29:27
  SPEAKER_03: We're trying to figure this out.
• 1:29:30
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, anything can be cursed, so I'm guessing...
• 1:29:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:29:35
  SPEAKER_00: Rude.
• 1:29:39
  SPEAKER_03: Anything can be a curse.
• 1:29:44
  SPEAKER_03: I guess we'll go stab the other one.
• 1:29:45
  SPEAKER_01: The other big one?
• 1:29:49
  Yeah.
• 1:29:51
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, go up here.
• 1:29:53
  SPEAKER_01: Just stab it.
• 1:29:57
  SPEAKER_01: You hear a lot of clanking inside this one as your nose fracture goes straight through it.
• 1:30:05
  SPEAKER_03: Clanking also reminds me of metal.
• 1:30:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's like glass clanking.
• 1:30:20
  chaotically balanced
• 1:30:23
  SPEAKER_03: Oof.
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_03: My brain power is wearing down.
• 1:30:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then you have the tiny box that Joaquin said was glowing on his detect magic.
• 1:30:43
  SPEAKER_03: I guess that would make sense.
• 1:30:45
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, let's go live at.
• 1:30:49
  SPEAKER_01: So as you look at the top of it, or as you inspect it, you see on the top of it, there is a
• 1:30:58
  SPEAKER_01: four-pointed indent
• 1:31:03
  SPEAKER_01: that looks eerily similar to Nosferatu's
• 1:31:10
  SPEAKER_01: design.
• 1:31:11
  SPEAKER_03: It sure does.
• 1:31:14
  SPEAKER_03: Highly suspicious.
• 1:31:23
  SPEAKER_03: that that that that warning said something about breaking a seal right
• 1:31:32
  SPEAKER_01: that not
• 1:31:32
  SPEAKER_03: to break the seal right but this isn't a seal it's it is formed perfectly
• 1:31:42
  SPEAKER_01: so it should be fine right I mean the other part was key of the ancient blood of
• 1:31:48
  SPEAKER_01: the pure and touch of the tainted
• 1:31:54
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if we have all those things.
• 1:31:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um...
• 1:32:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think we do.
• 1:32:04
  SPEAKER_03: She will put Nosferatu in the hole.
• 1:32:08
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, if Nosferatu just had Yenora's blood, that'd be blood of the pure.
• 1:32:15
  SPEAKER_00: Touch of the tainted, that'd be you, and he would be the key.
• 1:32:22
  SPEAKER_03: I am offended
• 1:32:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well you are tainted from him
• 1:32:31
  SPEAKER_03: This is untrue There is someone else
• 1:32:34
  SPEAKER_01: that also could be tainted Technically multiple of you could be tainted
• 1:32:40
  SPEAKER_01: but One person in particular Let me guess
• 1:32:47
  SPEAKER_02: Is it the person with eyes?
• 1:32:48
  SPEAKER_02: No No
• 1:32:52
  SPEAKER_03: Don't we all have eyes?
• 1:33:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, there's a... Oh.
• 1:33:05
  SPEAKER_01: You can try it however you would like.
• 1:33:09
  SPEAKER_02: Aren't we supposed to not break the seal?
• 1:33:12
  SPEAKER_02: Just saying.
• 1:33:12
  SPEAKER_02: I
• 1:33:16
  SPEAKER_00: mean... My understanding is that we don't do that thing.
• 1:33:22
  SPEAKER_00: But the question becomes why?
• 1:33:25
  SPEAKER_03: If they didn't want us to do it, why did they leave instructions on how to do it?
• 1:33:35
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe so you know what not to do?
• 1:33:38
  SPEAKER_03: That sounds like a really poor planning.
• 1:33:46
  SPEAKER_02: There's only three things needed to break something.
• 1:33:49
  SPEAKER_02: I would definitely write out those three things and be like, don't don't do those things.
• 1:33:56
  SPEAKER_00: But if you do, these are the things.
• 1:34:02
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's the same reason you write out your allergies, right?
• 1:34:04
  SPEAKER_02: So that people don't bring you the allergies.
• 1:34:12
  SPEAKER_03: You are all very childless.
• 1:34:20
  SPEAKER_00: And for good reason, most likely.
• 1:34:23
  SPEAKER_00: In which case, Joachim kind of looks to Eonor.
• 1:34:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm good either way.
• 1:34:32
  SPEAKER_00: I leave it to your investigator judgment, Madam Greybreeze.
• 1:34:41
  SPEAKER_02: What do I think is the tainted part?
• 1:34:46
  SPEAKER_01: Make, well, here.
• 1:34:49
  SPEAKER_01: yeah I'm not in the room right now make a uh
• 1:34:57
  SPEAKER_01: insight check I would say I'm trying
• 1:34:59
  SPEAKER_01: to figure what that is so you're gonna make that with advantage yep you rolled
• 1:35:07
  SPEAKER_01: a 17 okay
• 1:35:11
  SPEAKER_01: if if you make the assumption that your blood is pure because you are
• 1:35:17
  SPEAKER_01: a paladin
• 1:35:20
  SPEAKER_02: Waqeem would be tainted.
• 1:35:22
  SPEAKER_01: You could also make the assumption that your blood is tainted because of Thessin,
• 1:35:28
  SPEAKER_01: but Waqeem also has a little bit of Paladin,
• 1:35:30
  SPEAKER_01: Waqeem also has a little bit of tainted.
• 1:35:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna look at Waqeem.
• 1:35:38
  SPEAKER_01: If you are one half, Waqeem's the other half.
• 1:35:41
  SPEAKER_02: Hey Waqeem, do you wanna go bleed on this thing?
• 1:35:44
  SPEAKER_02: Just a little bit.
• 1:35:48
  SPEAKER_00: He looks at her with, like, this completely weird look and... No?
• 1:35:53
  SPEAKER_02: Just a little bit.
• 1:35:54
  SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
• 1:35:55
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be okay.
• 1:35:56
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 1:35:57
  SPEAKER_00: Why do you want my blood now?
• 1:36:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want it.
• 1:36:01
  SPEAKER_02: The box wants it.
• 1:36:03
  SPEAKER_01: What if we feed me the blood?
• 1:36:08
  SPEAKER_02: Is he saying that out loud?
• 1:36:10
  SPEAKER_01: To everybody, yes.
• 1:36:12
  SPEAKER_00: In your head.
• 1:36:12
  SPEAKER_00: Get the hell up, Godkiller.
• 1:36:13
  SPEAKER_00: You're not getting a drop of my goodness.
• 1:36:17
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I already had a drop of hers.
• 1:36:21
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that is a good point.
• 1:36:23
  SPEAKER_00: Does it work if we give it to you?
• 1:36:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because you consume it, or does it need to go on the chest?
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_01: I can also release it.
• 1:36:33
  SPEAKER_02: Release what?
• 1:36:35
  SPEAKER_02: Release what?
• 1:36:36
  SPEAKER_01: The blood.
• 1:36:41
  SPEAKER_01: The power of the blood, but yes.
• 1:36:51
  SPEAKER_01: You just need a little finger prick there, wizard boy.
• 1:36:54
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, don't be a baby.
• 1:37:02
  SPEAKER_00: I hate you all.
• 1:37:05
  SPEAKER_00: You will do no such thing.
• 1:37:07
  SPEAKER_00: And he will prick his fingertip and lick a little bit of blood.
• 1:37:18
  SPEAKER_00: I hate you all.
• 1:37:20
  SPEAKER_01: This time you all hear the slurping noises of Nosferatu
• 1:37:31
  SPEAKER_01: Then,
• 1:37:32
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, you may do what you wish With what?
• 1:37:40
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you were about to put him into the very specifically shaped hole In the hole
• 1:37:53
  SPEAKER_01: you all hear the audible click so you feel resistance as you're pushing Nosferatu
• 1:37:59
  SPEAKER_01: into the keyhole it's not really a keyhole it's more like almost a pressure plate
• 1:38:08
  SPEAKER_01: and you hear the audible clicks as he's sinking down and it's sinking down and
• 1:38:14
  SPEAKER_01: then you feel the final click Lala and he's kind of locked in there now
• 1:38:22
  SPEAKER_03: hmm
• 1:38:28
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I was not anticipating him to get stuck.
• 1:38:38
  SPEAKER_00: Dee, can you help her?
• 1:38:41
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not trying to pull it out, I just...
• 1:38:45
  SPEAKER_03: This was not what I expected.
• 1:38:48
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if you see Dee, don't you... You gotta turn it?
• 1:38:54
  SPEAKER_03: That's a good point.
• 1:38:57
  SPEAKER_03: She...
• 1:38:58
  SPEAKER_03: tries to turn it.
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_01: You hear the clicking again as you turn it.
• 1:39:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like gears turning.
• 1:39:05
  SPEAKER_01: And then it stops and it releases Nosferatu.
• 1:39:15
  SPEAKER_01: Box opens.
• 1:39:23
  SPEAKER_02: This is the one that sounded like glass in it, right?
• 1:39:26
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:39:28
  SPEAKER_03: it was the mysterious smaller box that had a glow
• 1:39:32
  SPEAKER_01: about its aura hey guys quick reminder to leave a like a comment and don't forget
• 1:39:40
  SPEAKER_01: to follow or subscribe to us thanks
• 1:39:45
  SPEAKER_01: get next to the crystal in some kind
• 1:39:48
  SPEAKER_01: of apparatus and on the other side of the crystal in the apparatus is a similar box
• 1:39:54
  SPEAKER_01: of this nature but it's opened already
• 1:40:03
  SPEAKER_01: As you open the box.
• 1:40:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's empty.
• 1:40:12
  SPEAKER_03: There's no, no whooshing of ghosts or anything?
• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_03: That was, that was anticlimactic.
• 1:40:25
  SPEAKER_01: Hakim, you still sense, even though that box is open,
• 1:40:30
  SPEAKER_01: the glowing energy of a seal.
• 1:40:42
  SPEAKER_01: The energy is still sealed somehow.
• 1:40:51
  SPEAKER_00: Is it a puzzle bomb?
• 1:40:53
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't do.
• 1:40:55
  SPEAKER_00: There's still a
• 1:40:58
  SPEAKER_00: Still something sealed up in there.
• 1:41:06
  SPEAKER_00: I wish there was a way to dispel it, but I don't know how to do that.
• 1:41:12
  SPEAKER_02: Can I check over the box?
• 1:41:16
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 1:41:18
  SPEAKER_02: What roll would that be?
• 1:41:21
  SPEAKER_01: What are you checking for?
• 1:41:23
  SPEAKER_02: Anything.
• 1:41:24
  SPEAKER_02: False bottom, weird inscribed things on it.
• 1:41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that'll be an investigation check for you then.
• 1:41:31
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, can you handle that?
• 1:41:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm rolling it for you.
• 1:41:38
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty good, that's a 27.
• 1:41:39
  SPEAKER_02: Boom.
• 1:41:44
  SPEAKER_01: While nothing about the box itself gives this away,
• 1:41:48
  SPEAKER_01: you're guessing that because of the way that you opened the box...
• 1:41:53
  SPEAKER_01: it maintained this whatever is sealed inside has the seal has been maintained even
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_01: though the box opened
• 1:42:02
  SPEAKER_02: did Nosferatu give it our blood or no
• 1:42:07
  SPEAKER_03: also can he talk
• 1:42:08
  SPEAKER_01: in there you can pull him he he was released
• 1:42:12
  SPEAKER_03: from it you're just holding him now okay cool so what's in there
• 1:42:19
  SPEAKER_01: there's just a
• 1:42:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it looks like nothing, but Wakim can see a sealed energy in, like, an arcane.
• 1:42:27
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, can Nosferatu, like, tell anything?
• 1:42:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you want to know what, you want to see if he knows what's in there?
• 1:42:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:42:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's, uh, some kind of sealed spirit or something.
• 1:42:47
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, spirit...
• 1:42:52
  SPEAKER_01: Stole
• 1:42:55
  SPEAKER_01: Otherworldly being I don't know Like a cool one or Do you seal cool spirits?
• 1:43:05
  SPEAKER_03: I don't seal any spirits I'm not a magic person I've never seen I've never heard
• 1:43:16
  SPEAKER_01: of anyone sealing a cool spirit So you're not a cool spirit?
• 1:43:27
  SPEAKER_03: Oh
• 1:43:30
  SPEAKER_01: Touché
• 1:43:33
  SPEAKER_01: However I don't know I mean I could try breaking the seal if you want
• 1:43:39
  SPEAKER_01: but I don't know what that's gonna do I don't know what this is Me neither
• 1:43:50
  SPEAKER_03: I would
• 1:43:50
  SPEAKER_03: assume that if we can't get rid of it though or release it then
• 1:43:57
  SPEAKER_03: you know we could probably not have our place be cursed anymore you
• 1:44:06
  SPEAKER_03: know solving
• 1:44:07
  SPEAKER_03: problems
• 1:44:17
  SPEAKER_01: I mean I can't move myself but you'd have to stab the thing stab the box
• 1:44:26
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to dispel this in order to do what now?
• 1:44:31
  SPEAKER_03: So that our place won't be cursed?
• 1:44:40
  SPEAKER_00: We were told not to do anything with it.
• 1:44:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but maybe they want it to stay cursed.
• 1:44:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's a big maybe.
• 1:44:52
  SPEAKER_00: I look at you, Nora.
• 1:44:53
  SPEAKER_00: Are you okay with this?
• 1:44:57
  SPEAKER_02: Mean
• 1:45:07
  SPEAKER_02: Do I get any weird feelings about it?
• 1:45:12
  SPEAKER_01: Make an insight check
• 1:45:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's a 22
• 1:45:25
  SPEAKER_01: Usually there is a reason something is sealed inside of a box underneath an iron locked hatch.
• 1:45:35
  SPEAKER_01: You've broken through the iron lock.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_01: You've opened the box.
• 1:45:40
  SPEAKER_01: Why would someone go through so much trouble to seal it?
• 1:45:44
  SPEAKER_01: And why is the other box in this room that's the same size empty?
• 1:45:49
  SPEAKER_01: And what's this giant crystal thing between them?
• 1:45:53
  SPEAKER_02: you have really good points whoever asked her is trapped in a bow and she's
• 1:45:57
  SPEAKER_02: a pretty cool lady
• 1:46:03
  SPEAKER_02: screw it open it why not it's probably a cool dude maybe
• 1:46:07
  SPEAKER_03: the bad thing was in the other box yeah exactly they already released
• 1:46:12
  SPEAKER_02: the bad thing this could be a good thing to fight the bad thing
• 1:46:16
  SPEAKER_02: and that's why it's still locked up
• 1:46:25
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:46:27
  SPEAKER_03: Stab the box.
• 1:46:28
  SPEAKER_03: Stab, stab.
• 1:46:29
  SPEAKER_01: So you stab air, but all of a sudden you feel Nosferatu vibrating and warming up in your hand.
• 1:46:38
  SPEAKER_01: Not uncomfortably so, but just warmer.
• 1:46:42
  SPEAKER_03: He's only doing this and it's weird every time.
• 1:46:47
  SPEAKER_01: And then all of you see in the shape of a box this blue arcane glow.
• 1:46:54
  SPEAKER_01: then it turns purple then it turns black
• 1:47:00
  SPEAKER_01: and then it dissipates
• 1:47:11
  SPEAKER_01: I am free at last
• 1:47:16
  SPEAKER_01: and you're gonna grant us how long has it been
• 1:47:20
  SPEAKER_01: that I have been trapped down here within the confines of that contraption.
• 1:47:29
  SPEAKER_01: I thank thee for your assistance.
• 1:47:35
  SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
• 1:47:35
  SPEAKER_03: Do I get wishes?
• 1:47:40
  SPEAKER_01: You get to know that when I find my physical body, you will be
• 1:47:48
  SPEAKER_01: one of the last groups that I massacre.
• 1:47:53
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:47:56
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:47:57
  SPEAKER_02: What does it look like?
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't.
• 1:48:02
  SPEAKER_02: So it's just a voice.
• 1:48:03
  SPEAKER_01: Disembodied voice.
• 1:48:05
  SPEAKER_02: Disembodied voice.
• 1:48:08
  SPEAKER_02: What is your body?
• 1:48:11
  SPEAKER_03: I feel like it's probably been hanging out without anything for a while,
• 1:48:15
  SPEAKER_03: and there might not be very much left.
• 1:48:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's fine.
• 1:48:22
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:48:23
  SPEAKER_01: It has transcended the need for natural survival.
• 1:48:30
  SPEAKER_01: They couldn't defeat my body, so they trapped my spirit.
• 1:48:37
  SPEAKER_02: What is it?
• 1:48:44
  SPEAKER_01: Read your history books and you might find that out.
• 1:48:50
  SPEAKER_03: History books, I don't know if you know this, have a lot of things in them.
• 1:49:01
  SPEAKER_01: The whole room begins to darken
• 1:49:07
  SPEAKER_01: as the air starts to swirl around rapidly.
• 1:49:15
  SPEAKER_01: and then you just hear maniacal laughter as the presence leaves the room.
• 1:49:23
  SPEAKER_00: Did we all hear that?
• 1:49:25
  Yes.
• 1:49:27
  SPEAKER_00: Including the conversation?
• 1:49:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:49:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just staring daggers at Ionora and Lala.
• 1:49:36
  SPEAKER_03: It's not haunted anymore.
• 1:49:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, you definitely should have done that.
• 1:49:46
  SPEAKER_00: well I am taking no responsibility in that because you all just released some sort
• 1:49:52

• 1:51:09
  SPEAKER_00: after it's maimed and destroyed and killed everything else right
• 1:51:13
  SPEAKER_00: so we'll end up hunting it to stop him
• 1:51:21
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin just kind of facepalms.
• 1:51:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
• 1:51:34
  SPEAKER_00: I can't with any of you.
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_01: No Sferatu speaks into your mind, Lala.
• 1:51:50
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want my opinion on what that was?
• 1:51:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:51:56
  SPEAKER_03: Look at you, offering information, being productive.
• 1:52:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, it wasn't a god and it wasn't a demon.
• 1:52:05
  SPEAKER_03: Just a guy who was real full of himself?
• 1:52:08
  SPEAKER_01: No, I think it was one of the ancient spirits from one of the wars long past.
• 1:52:18
  SPEAKER_03: Again, again, we're being rather vague.
• 1:52:22
  SPEAKER_03: Like an Eldritch Horror?
• 1:52:25
  SPEAKER_03: Was that a Kraken?
• 1:52:29
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:52:33
  SPEAKER_01: Those would be too simple.
• 1:52:37
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, that's what I thought.
• 1:52:40
  SPEAKER_03: Also, probably unable to fit in such a small box.
• 1:52:50
  SPEAKER_01: That small box may have been keeping his soul from his body.
• 1:52:58
  SPEAKER_01: And his body probably has been alive because it's fueled by undeath.
• 1:53:10
  SPEAKER_03: Ah, so bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
• 1:53:11
  SPEAKER_03: We find his body and kill it.
• 1:53:15
  SPEAKER_03: Before he finds it.
• 1:53:18
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be fine.
• 1:53:18
  SPEAKER_01: What if he's a lich?
• 1:53:21
  SPEAKER_03: Oh gross, I hate those.
• 1:53:29
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 1:53:32
  SPEAKER_00: So what does he know since he was the key?
• 1:53:39
  SPEAKER_03: Uh... That maybe it's a lich.
