Benders & Brews - Prequel One-Shot - Bill & Brock’s Soulrest Day Adventure (Part 1) · Session Zero Heroes | TTRPG Actual Play Adventures & Improv Storytelling

• 0:00
  Uh.
• 0:03
  Jasmine Oolong, green
• 0:06
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:08
  teas were skilfully brewed at the Blissful Brew.
• 0:12
  Then, everything changed when the shop's
• 0:14
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:17
  All Mr. Okeron, the shop's owner and tea
• 0:20
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:23
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:25
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:28
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:31
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:34
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:37
  Blissful Brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:39
  world.
• 0:41
  And welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Benders and
• 0:44
  Brews. But today I've got an
• 0:47
  extra special episode for you
• 0:50
  because, uh, currently I'm sitting in the studio with
• 0:53
  just Cameron and
• 0:56
  Connor, aka Bill and
• 0:58
  Brock.
• 0:59
  Guys, how's it going?
• 1:01
  Oh, it's going great. How you been doing, Skylar? I missed.
• 1:06
  For those that don't know, I just got back on a week and a
• 1:09
  half long trip from Denver. I'm not going to talk a whole lot
• 1:12
  about it, even though we said I should. Um, but
• 1:15
  it was a great time. It was very relaxing, very
• 1:17
  refreshing. Um, side note,
• 1:20
  you're probably wondering why Skyler? Why are you
• 1:23
  in the studio with just Cameron and Connor?
• 1:26
  Well, uh, David Mchaler are doing some
• 1:28
  life stuff. They're kind of re situating
• 1:31
  themselves, um, from some big
• 1:34
  changes, positive changes. Wonderful, exciting, super
• 1:37
  cool changes. And, uh, so we're just
• 1:40
  kind of doing a little one shot today to keep,
• 1:43
  uh, things going and, uh, hopefully give you some
• 1:46
  fun, uh, story to listen to. So that's
• 1:49
  what we're doing today. Like I said, it's just going to be
• 1:51
  Bill and it's just going to be Brock. It's going to be kind of
• 1:54
  back, what, like maybe two months ish
• 1:57
  before everything kind of started happening from
• 2:00
  season one prequel adventure.
• 2:02
  Yeah.
• 2:02
  Prequel.
• 2:02
  Cut. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Deep cut.
• 2:04
  Uh, Mr. O'Grad will still be.
• 2:11
  Well.
• 2:12
  We'Ve said this before, you're just jumping in at this point.
• 2:15
  You need to go back. You need to stop where you are.
• 2:17
  And you need to go back from the beginning. Something messed
• 2:20
  up along the know.
• 2:21
  That's right.
• 2:21
  Click the wrong button, the algorithm has
• 2:24
  messed with you. And you need to write the
• 2:27
  algorithms wrong. So anyways, all right, we're going
• 2:30
  to get started with a very special, uh,
• 2:33
  side adventure featuring Bill
• 2:36
  and Brock.
• 2:42
  All right.
• 2:42
  As the two of you finish up the last of your chores at the
• 2:45
  blissful brew, sweeping up the last of the dust from the
• 2:48
  floor that arrived via the bottom of the sandals
• 2:51
  from guests you've been serving throughout the day and
• 2:54
  cleaning the jelly spots off the last of the saucers
• 2:57
  and serving dishes. You feel a lingering spark
• 3:00
  of energy inside of you. This fizzling
• 3:03
  sensation that, uh, starts from your chest and tingles all the way
• 3:06
  up to the tips of your fingers and the heels of
• 3:09
  your feet stems from the excitement
• 3:11
  of an event that's about to happen. And sure
• 3:14
  enough, it does. Mr. Okeron steps
• 3:17
  through the doors of the kitchen. I
• 3:20
  think that's about it.
• 3:21
  Everyone, come over.
• 3:23
  Come on, come over. I have something special for each
• 3:26
  of you. And as you all begin to circle
• 3:29
  around him like a sports team waiting on their coach's
• 3:31
  next instruction, he has
• 3:34
  a massive smile on his face and
• 3:37
  begins to pass out some small jingling
• 3:40
  pouches to each of you.
• 3:41
  Happy.
• 3:42
  Uh, early soul rest day, everyone.
• 3:45
  You smile as you peek into the bag to find a
• 3:48
  collection of seven silver coins
• 3:50
  rattling around as you shift through them. Now, I know
• 3:53
  the holiday is all about resting the soul
• 3:56
  and finding one's inner peace and blah,
• 3:59
  blah, blah. But I know that all of you are
• 4:02
  excited for the days off and going
• 4:04
  out and doing fun things. And I just
• 4:07
  want to make sure.
• 4:08
  That while I myself will be off.
• 4:10
  To visit some old friends across the Earth kingdom,
• 4:13
  that you all will, uh, have plenty to keep yourselves busy with
• 4:16
  while the tea shop is closed. So consider this a
• 4:19
  little holiday bonus. As each of
• 4:22
  you takes your small pouch, you peek at the fresh,
• 4:25
  shiny coins and, uh, excitedly head off
• 4:28
  to bed. Although you find it a little bit difficult to sleep because you're
• 4:31
  thinking about the holiday and all the free time and
• 4:34
  now this small allowance that you'll have to do with as
• 4:37
  you please. It's not often you get a chance to get away
• 4:40
  from the tea shop. That makes, uh, up most of the time in your days.
• 4:43
  So this holiday has your minds stirring with
• 4:45
  ideas. So what kind of
• 4:47
  ideas are going through you
• 4:50
  heads as far as what you might want to do with this
• 4:53
  free time you've got?
• 4:55
  I mean, we're in the Earth kingdom and we got a few days off.
• 4:58
  I could go back to the old farm,
• 5:01
  maybe, uh, give some of the money back to
• 5:04
  the family, see the parents,
• 5:07
  see Mr. Cabbage man. Yeah.
• 5:10
  Wrestle some hogs, wrestle some hogs.
• 5:12
  Take some potshots at some
• 5:15
  seagulls, sling mud.
• 5:18
  Slinging mud is the best thing the
• 5:21
  universe has to offer, and you mock it.
• 5:24
  I think Brock desperately needs to become.
• 5:25
  A politician so he could do some mud
• 5:28
  for it. Uh, what's Bill thinking
• 5:31
  about? Um, not much. Uh,
• 5:34
  he doesn't have any plans to get away for the weekend. He's
• 5:37
  planning on just taking it easy, enjoying time off from
• 5:40
  work. Uh, he's probably going to,
• 5:43
  I don't know, he might do some hiking, some, um, just
• 5:46
  wandering around nature because that's where he finds peace.
• 5:49
  And I think he's just going to pack a, uh, sack of food
• 5:52
  and just kind of like camp, live off the land for a couple of
• 5:54
  days.
• 5:55
  Sure.
• 5:55
  Wow.
• 5:56
  It's a very soul rest day
• 5:59
  is.
• 6:00
  Actually taking the holiday.
• 6:03
  Yeah, exactly.
• 6:05
  I need to rest my soul.
• 6:07
  You don't want to go out and sling some
• 6:10
  mud?
• 6:11
  Hey, we all rest our souls in different ways.
• 6:15
  No judgment here. Yeah, no judgment.
• 6:18
  As, uh, you awaken the following day, you come downstairs to make
• 6:20
  yourselves some breakfast and find that Mr. Okaron is already
• 6:23
  headed out on his journey to meet up with some old colleagues
• 6:26
  and friends from his traveling days. I love how, like, tease
• 6:29
  the idea that, hey, Mr. Okaron's still alive and he's gone.
• 6:32
  Well, he can't go.
• 6:34
  He's got things to do. That's right.
• 6:35
  Just so you know, when it is in the story, like canonically speak,
• 6:38
  that's right.
• 6:40
  Uh, he's alive. It's before.
• 6:44
  To clarify, um, Mika
• 6:46
  has already disappeared, as she often does. And given her
• 6:49
  skills developed alongside her father and the Water tribe, you
• 6:52
  know, there's no chance of following her as she tends
• 6:55
  to leave no trace. Go Han mentioned
• 6:58
  something about a food tour and was excited to see
• 7:01
  just how far he could get with the map that he's been
• 7:04
  drawing up since you met him. Although he's very
• 7:07
  detailed and often tried to show the two of you his map,
• 7:10
  which he's very proud of, uh, your lack of
• 7:13
  interest left you nodding and smiling. And all of
• 7:15
  Guao's words went in one ear and out the other. So he
• 7:18
  could be anywhere right now trying out all the culinary
• 7:21
  delights of the Earth Kingdom had to offer. And who
• 7:24
  knows where that is?
• 7:28
  I have to ask out of podcast?
• 7:31
  Yes. Did Dave tell you this?
• 7:33
  No, I can't.
• 7:34
  This is how well you know
• 7:37
  exactly like something Guawan would be like, I
• 7:40
  want to go tour the food.
• 7:42
  I'm going to go find all the places that all the
• 7:44
  visiting people at our tea shop have been talking
• 7:47
  about. Like, oh, this is almost as good.
• 7:49
  As tell me that.
• 7:51
  Where is that?
• 7:52
  Where is that?
• 7:52
  I want to put that on my map.
• 7:54
  That's, uh, such a GuoHan thing to do.
• 7:56
  It's a GuoHan thing for sure. Oh, that should be a T shirt.
• 7:59
  It's a.
• 8:02
  Like I've only seen the.
• 8:06
  Reference.
• 8:07
  It would just be Cameron's face, though. We wouldn't use bills.
• 8:12
  Yeah, that way people can aim the tomatoes better.
• 8:14
  Yes.
• 8:15
  They're moving me off the stage or whatever.
• 8:18
  Uh.
• 8:22
  Brock, you watch as Bill walks past you carrying a couple
• 8:25
  of bags loaded up and begins to head out the door.
• 8:28
  So where are you off to? Big Bye?
• 8:31
  Big Bye?
• 8:32
  Big Bye. The Earth
• 8:35
  Kingdom's lingo, uh, is already coming back. I'm already that
• 8:38
  relaxed.
• 8:38
  That chill. Um,
• 8:41
  I'm going to go enjoy Soul rest
• 8:44
  day. Uh, what are you doing?
• 8:47
  I'm going to go back to the old farm and,
• 8:50
  uh, have some time with my family. You should
• 8:53
  come.
• 8:54
  I don't know. I had other plans. I wanted to
• 8:57
  go do some other things.
• 9:00
  Uh, such as?
• 9:02
  Um.
• 9:05
  Swing my bow staff, break rocks,
• 9:08
  real cool stuff like you do.
• 9:10
  Well, you can swing your bow staff anywhere. You know where there's a lot of
• 9:13
  rocks?
• 9:15
  Your farm on the farm?
• 9:16
  Yeah.
• 9:17
  Okay, we got to go clear off some rocks. We can do some
• 9:19
  extra hands.
• 9:20
  I know a really cool rock breaking place.
• 9:23
  Uh, but, uh, it's a secret place.
• 9:26
  Family, uh, secret, and,
• 9:29
  uh, I sadly cannot tell
• 9:32
  you. I
• 9:34
  know it might hurt, but family
• 9:37
  secrets.
• 9:38
  You need to tell me about places with
• 9:41
  cool rocks. Since we've been over this.
• 9:43
  I know this is like the fourth time you've told me.
• 9:46
  If I find a cool rock to.
• 9:47
  Give it to you.
• 9:50
  You just have to tell me where it is.
• 9:53
  The downside to giving you cool rocks,
• 9:56
  Brock, is all the ones that you've shown me are cool, weigh
• 9:58
  at least 50 pounds, and I can't bring those back to
• 10:01
  you.
• 10:03
  It's this guy, man. He doesn't even care.
• 10:07
  Well, fine. I will go off on my own.
• 10:09
  I'm going to build a tunnel. That's what I'm going to do.
• 10:13
  You, uh, can break some rocks.
• 10:15
  I bet you can't. I bet you can build a tunnel. You've been talking about
• 10:17
  building tunnels.
• 10:18
  You've been really on about this tunnel lately.
• 10:22
  Both been talking about this list of food places he wants to go
• 10:25
  to, and you've been talking about this tunnel.
• 10:27
  You know why I love tunnel?
• 10:28
  He keeps saying there's a tunnel underneath the blissful brew
• 10:31
  that you hide all of your cool rocks.
• 10:33
  I mean, don't tell anyone else about
• 10:36
  that. I told you that in confidence.
• 10:40
  No one else is here besides this random patron who's
• 10:42
  just talking to us.
• 10:44
  I love tunnel. Hold on one SEC. I love
• 10:46
  tunnels because you can break rocks, and
• 10:49
  there's always the chance the rocks come down on top of you. And
• 10:52
  then I just have a bed. And then it's also dark,
• 10:55
  so I just go to sleep. So worst
• 10:58
  case, I end up under some rocks, and I get a good
• 11:01
  power nap. Best case, I get to break rocks
• 11:03
  for, like, hours.
• 11:05
  Post power nap.
• 11:06
  Post power nap.
• 11:07
  That's the dream right there.
• 11:08
  Exactly.
• 11:09
  Post power nap, rock breaking. Um, and that's
• 11:12
  what I'm going to go do at the secret rock breaking
• 11:14
  spot.
• 11:17
  Can I get a raspberry mint tea?
• 11:19
  Hold on 1 second. I'm just a dishwasher. You see, this
• 11:22
  is why they left without us. You
• 11:25
  see, Guo and Mika, they don't like
• 11:28
  this part of you.
• 11:29
  You see, we're going to have a.
• 11:31
  POW out because you keep so many secrets,
• 11:34
  mr. Bill, if that is your real.
• 11:40
  Mean yeah, but
• 11:42
  secrets are family. Secrets are one
• 11:45
  thing, and you know
• 11:49
  to are you gonna force Mr. Okaron.
• 11:52
  To give up the secret ingredient to.
• 11:54
  His family secret tea?
• 11:57
  I'm a dishwasher. I don't make tea. And
• 12:00
  plus, I didn't know, Mr. You don't make tea?
• 12:02
  No, I'm just dishwasher, and I just serve it. We actually have
• 12:05
  been closed for a couple hours. I don't know why you're still
• 12:08
  here.
• 12:09
  And the man storms out.
• 12:11
  We still take a tip of tip. He's gone.
• 12:16
  Anyways, um see?
• 12:18
  Even you chase him away because of your secrets.
• 12:20
  That wasn't a secret. I told him
• 12:24
  I've got things to do. Brock
• 12:27
  okay, I hope you have a great time
• 12:30
  hanging out with your family, but for now, I got to
• 12:32
  be on my way, okay?
• 12:35
  Okay. I'll see you later. And can
• 12:38
  we walk off in the same direction?
• 12:41
  Phil grabs his stuff, walks up the tour, and Brock
• 12:44
  walks.
• 12:45
  Right.
• 12:46
  You have to be next to the person because otherwise it feels like you're
• 12:49
  being followed. And then it's only awkward for them. But for
• 12:52
  both of you, it's very awkward because you're heading in the same
• 12:54
  direction.
• 12:55
  Like mountains.
• 12:56
  This way.
• 13:00
  Your rock place.
• 13:01
  No, it's not that way. It's somewhere
• 13:04
  else. I just need to go that way to buy some stuff.
• 13:07
  Uh, okay, cool.
• 13:08
  Anyways, bye.
• 13:09
  Brock okay, see ya.
• 13:11
  And I start walking in a direction. In a different
• 13:13
  direction.
• 13:14
  Yes.
• 13:15
  All right. Brock you see him
• 13:17
  slowly fade into.
• 13:18
  The distance and like, uh, an, uh,
• 13:21
  alleyway.
• 13:22
  Okay. Yeah.
• 13:23
  So you watch him turn a corner into an alleyway.
• 13:25
  Oh, I'm following him.
• 13:26
  Okay, but
• 13:29
  why, may I ask?
• 13:31
  Because we're here
• 13:34
  for family and the
• 13:37
  boys are family.
• 13:39
  It has nothing to do with the secret rock break?
• 13:41
  No, not at all about the secret rock breaking place
• 13:44
  that I need to know about.
• 13:47
  All right, well, do I need to roll for
• 13:50
  stealth?
• 13:51
  Like, rely on your skills in training?
• 13:53
  Well, I rolled a nine.
• 13:55
  Uh, plus your focus.
• 13:57
  My focus is zero because I'm
• 13:59
  just all passion, baby.
• 14:01
  So with a nine, it says that you do it
• 14:04
  you succeed, but you do it imperfectly.
• 14:06
  Imperfectly.
• 14:07
  Now, I'm trying to think of when you're following somebody, how you can
• 14:10
  succeed, but do it imperfectly.
• 14:13
  What if I do, like, a Bugs Bunny tunnel, and so
• 14:16
  he can obviously tell that it's me, but he just.
• 14:18
  Like, well, yeah, I guess at the end of the
• 14:21
  day, that is the definition of doing following somebody
• 14:24
  imperfectly, which is that they know the whole time.
• 14:27
  Now, whether you know that Bill knows is
• 14:29
  kind of up in the air.
• 14:33
  How are you following Bill? That's the real question. If
• 14:36
  you're underground, are you?
• 14:40
  No, no.
• 14:41
  That's exactly why you know it's. Because every once in a
• 14:43
  while, you just kind of, like, casually glance behind.
• 14:46
  You and you see a head pop up out of the ground.
• 14:49
  You're doing?
• 14:50
  Like the mole from the Earth
• 14:52
  Rumble Stadium thing.
• 14:54
  Oh, yeah. You stick up your head, and once in a while you actually have, like,
• 14:57
  a mole rabit on your head or something pop up.
• 14:59
  Or what if I follow him like I do, like, the Tiptoe
• 15:02
  sneaky follow, and then whenever he turns around, I
• 15:05
  just dive into the ground. But there's still, like, an obvious
• 15:08
  mountain.
• 15:08
  You do an obvious dive, like an.
• 15:11
  Actual hike dive into the ground.
• 15:14
  And I think to top it all off, you're doing it cronk
• 15:17
  style, where as you're going, you're like.
• 15:21
  You got.
• 15:22
  Your own theme song.
• 15:26
  Brock falling wind, built to
• 15:29
  see some really cool rocks.
• 15:31
  And then like, I'm
• 15:44
  going to follow him.
• 15:45
  But are, uh, you telling me that you did that on
• 15:48
  no, no.
• 15:50
  He didn't want to tell Brock where he was going, but
• 15:53
  he figured Brock would follow him.
• 15:55
  But he knows where
• 15:58
  his spot he is going, and he knows there is a place
• 16:01
  where he can lose him right before he gets
• 16:04
  there.
• 16:04
  Because I still succeed in following
• 16:07
  you.
• 16:09
  This is what Bill's thinking.
• 16:10
  Maybe he won't lose you, maybe he will. We don't know.
• 16:13
  But in his mind, he's like, I.
• 16:15
  Don'T care if he follows me because I've got this ace in the
• 16:17
  hole that Brock doesn't even know about. And once I get to the ace in
• 16:20
  the hole, you're in trouble.
• 16:23
  Right?
• 16:27
  Okay.
• 16:27
  It's like mother Gothel and Tangle hiding the flower
• 16:30
  underneath the know at
• 16:33
  the start. It's like a bush.
• 16:35
  Yeah.
• 16:35
  And it's like you'd never find it.
• 16:36
  Even if you followed her, because it's like such a quick thing you
• 16:39
  can hide.
• 16:40
  This is a problem. And this is where
• 16:43
  I'm sure a lot of the audience starts to hate
• 16:46
  me, which is that, uh, I've only seen half of
• 16:49
  Tangled.
• 16:50
  This is the first scene
• 16:53
  of the movie.
• 16:54
  Yeah, it's been a long time. I feel like I watched half
• 16:57
  of it when it first came out
• 16:59
  after theaters, but like, to DVD or whatever.
• 17:02
  And that's as far as I got. Don't ask me
• 17:05
  why. I feel like something came up. I had to go.
• 17:08
  It's one of the best ones.
• 17:09
  That's what people have told me
• 17:13
  he hasn't learned.
• 17:14
  I need to watch the frying pans.
• 17:16
  Yeah.
• 17:17
  Or I got to remember the frying pan.
• 17:22
  And ah, anyway, so I would say,
• 17:25
  actually, there's an exact situation for this
• 17:28
  situation, and that is that, uh, I think
• 17:30
  Bill should roll a trick once he gets
• 17:33
  to his ace in the hole spot that he's
• 17:36
  referencing.
• 17:36
  Okay.
• 17:37
  And we'll just see how successful he is
• 17:40
  at tricking or trying to lose Brock, essentially.
• 17:43
  So I got minus one.
• 17:46
  That's a six five.
• 17:47
  That's definitely a
• 17:50
  well, I guess there's no point in even asking which one you
• 17:53
  choose because it doesn't matter.
• 17:54
  There's no choice. I just completely failed.
• 17:57
  But you assume I could play what.
• 17:59
  My ace in the hole was and we could play from there. How's that?
• 18:03
  And then we'll play it in this scenario.
• 18:05
  Yeah.
• 18:05
  So what his ace in the hole.
• 18:06
  Was is where he was going is Bill was
• 18:09
  going to a tree. Uh, I've
• 18:12
  actually referenced this tree before in the
• 18:14
  podcast way, uh, back when,
• 18:17
  I don't know in what context, but it basically said it's
• 18:20
  like Bill's quiet place is this M tree? So anyways, he
• 18:23
  went to the tree. And his ace in the hole was just to quickly jump up
• 18:26
  and climb into the tree because he knows this tree like the back of his
• 18:29
  hand. Right. Um, but the
• 18:32
  problem was
• 18:35
  this was like the very first time he brought his bow staff
• 18:38
  because he was in a rush. And he
• 18:41
  brought his bow staff, but he left it at the base of the tree
• 18:43
  when he jumped up quickly. And he normally
• 18:46
  leaves it at the bottom of the tree because what he
• 18:49
  puts in the tree is supplies. And he hides it
• 18:52
  in the tree. But he left his bow staff on the
• 18:55
  ground because he's so used to the habit of laying the bow staff down, going
• 18:58
  up the tree, grabbing the supplies. So this time he wasn't grabbing supplies, he
• 19:01
  was hiding. Right. But his bow staff's just sitting
• 19:04
  there.
• 19:04
  He was too much in a rush.
• 19:05
  Correct. And he fell into a habit like his rush.
• 19:09
  So anyways, he builds up in a tree. So when
• 19:12
  Brock turns the corner, he just sees a bow staff
• 19:14
  resting on a tree.
• 19:16
  It's a pretty big hint.
• 19:17
  Yeah.
• 19:17
  So I'll go up, I'll grab the bow staff, and I'll just kind of look up
• 19:20
  and be like, hey, buddy.
• 19:22
  What's?
• 19:22
  Uh, know, I figured my family could wait a bit, just hang out
• 19:25
  with my boy. What you doing up there?
• 19:29
  You've got to be kidding me.
• 19:31
  Oh, no, I'm not. I'm just right here. What's up, dude?
• 19:33
  Can I come up?
• 19:34
  Looks cool up there. Uh, before you even
• 19:37
  answer a rock.
• 19:40
  Elevator.
• 19:43
  I'm right up at eye level. Like, what's up, dude? You dropped this on the
• 19:46
  ground. I'll hand you your boat.
• 19:49
  I don't need the boat stuff. It slows me down when I
• 19:52
  climb the tree.
• 19:52
  What are you climbing the tree for? Are you trying to get rid of
• 19:55
  me?
• 19:58
  Can I be honest?
• 20:00
  Yes, m and no.
• 20:02
  Yes and no. Yes, I was trying to get rid.
• 20:04
  Of you because I wanted to be alone, but
• 20:07
  no, because I normally always climb this tree when I get here.
• 20:11
  Well, see, there's a problem because
• 20:14
  you're not alone. Because I'm here for
• 20:17
  you.
• 20:17
  You're here to disturb my quiet time.
• 20:20
  I would never I'm here for the
• 20:23
  cool rocks.
• 20:24
  I lied about the rocks. Actually, there are
• 20:27
  some cool rocks I can show you. And Bill's going to
• 20:30
  grab this bag that's right next to him. Well, my
• 20:32
  Midwest just showed right there. That's my
• 20:35
  bag. Uh, he grabs his
• 20:38
  bag.
• 20:39
  That just doesn't sound worse.
• 20:41
  Actually. He grabbed it and he kind of, like,
• 20:43
  climbs back down the tree with it. And, uh, he gets down
• 20:46
  to the ground.
• 20:47
  I'm still standing on my elevator.
• 20:49
  Just you can probably lower.
• 20:50
  I don't lied
• 20:53
  about the cool rock.
• 20:55
  Again, there are some cool rocks.
• 20:57
  Uh, do you understand what I went through
• 21:00
  to get here?
• 21:01
  Yeah, a lot of diving in the tunnels.
• 21:04
  Yeah. I thought you were just doing that for fun.
• 21:07
  And you mean to tell me
• 21:10
  it was all for nothing because the
• 21:13
  rocks aren't?
• 21:16
  Um, um, there are some rocks.
• 21:18
  Look.
• 21:19
  And, uh, Bill kind of like, ushers him to
• 21:22
  look. So what this
• 21:25
  tree is mind you, I want to paint a picture. This
• 21:27
  tree is
• 21:30
  over the edge of a cliff. So it's like
• 21:33
  one of those trees that's, like, grown out of the
• 21:36
  side of a cliff. And you're like, when you look at it, you'd be like, how the heck
• 21:39
  does that work? But this is just an old, ancient tree
• 21:42
  that the roots are just so deep that it's just there. And the OD
• 21:45
  thing about this tree is it's totally out, um, on the edge of this
• 21:48
  cliff path, and it's
• 21:51
  totally alone by itself, right.
• 21:54
  And, uh, Bill just finds this
• 21:56
  tree. This is kind of the exact same thing
• 21:59
  way back when he finds it to be a representation of
• 22:02
  himself. He's, like, alone on the edge of a cliff,
• 22:05
  right. Anyways, uh,
• 22:07
  he points over the cliff, which is a giant valley
• 22:10
  filled with beautiful sights and stuff. You can see a lake
• 22:13
  off the lake in distance. You can see everything. And then
• 22:16
  Bill points to the opposite end of the cliff where
• 22:19
  there's a ton of rocks, and he says,
• 22:22
  look over there, Brock. Those are some of the
• 22:25
  coolest rocks I've ever seen. Look, that one even looks like
• 22:28
  a face.
• 22:29
  It looks like you rock, Brock.
• 22:31
  Man, those do look pretty cool over there. We should go
• 22:34
  check those out.
• 22:37
  I've never been over there.
• 22:38
  Uh oh.
• 22:39
  Well, what a perfect time.
• 22:42
  I'd rather do what I came here.
• 22:44
  To do and enjoy my vacation.
• 22:46
  I'm not here for your tree allegories being
• 22:49
  just like you. I'm here to break some rocks
• 22:52
  and follow Bill. And I've already done one of those,
• 22:55
  so we're doing this. Can I just
• 22:58
  start running off? But I take his bow
• 23:01
  staff.
• 23:05
  With bow staff in hand, I run off to the
• 23:08
  other side of the lake. Do I need to
• 23:10
  roll?
• 23:11
  Running all the way to the lake?
• 23:13
  How far is it?
• 23:14
  It's pretty far away in my mind. I guess it could be closer.
• 23:17
  Well, I mean, he's running towards I'm running towards,
• 23:20
  making his way.
• 23:21
  I don't know if I need to roll.
• 23:22
  You don't even need to roll.
• 23:23
  You're going to chase him. But before he chases him, he's going to quickly
• 23:26
  throw the supply bag he.
• 23:28
  Has and add him into the truck. Put it back.
• 23:31
  All right.
• 23:31
  He's going to go chase it after him. All right.
• 23:34
  You get back here with my bow stat. That's
• 23:37
  mine. That's precious merchandise.
• 23:39
  And you better not break any rocks with that.
• 23:42
  No promises.
• 23:43
  And as the two of you run
• 23:45
  together, bill chasing Brock in some
• 23:48
  sort of adorable little sibling big
• 23:51
  sibling looking situation
• 23:54
  as he's playing keep away with you holding, uh,
• 23:57
  your Bow staff, uh, the two of you, uh
• 24:00
  you make your way up and down some rolling hills and
• 24:03
  short mountains and a beeline towards this
• 24:06
  area with the face rock that
• 24:09
  Bill says exists. And as
• 24:12
  you crit I'm not saying it doesn't
• 24:15
  bill saw it, and he says it looks like a face.
• 24:17
  Brock's face.
• 24:18
  Explicitly brock's face.
• 24:21
  Uh, good looking rock.
• 24:23
  Well, handsome rock right there.
• 24:26
  As you crest a lush plateau, the
• 24:29
  long green grass blowing in the wind,
• 24:32
  you see some sort of a cave opening
• 24:35
  that goes into one of the mountain
• 24:38
  sort of areas in this
• 24:41
  series, uh, of hills and mountains that you're kind of running around
• 24:44
  through. And you pause for a
• 24:47
  moment because you see something moving
• 24:49
  towards near the entrance of this
• 24:52
  cave. Uh, you see a man dressed in
• 24:55
  Fire Nation garb and he is sitting on
• 24:58
  an ostrich horse cart, which
• 25:01
  he kind of pulls up in next to alongside
• 25:03
  the cave. Uh, parks this cart, hops off
• 25:06
  his vehicle and proceeds to withdraw a
• 25:09
  barrel from the back of this cart, which he then
• 25:12
  rolls into the cave.
• 25:15
  I mean, we can't not check that out.
• 25:18
  Check what out?
• 25:19
  I want my Bow staff back. Oh, you'll get it eventually. Hold on.
• 25:22
  No, I want my bow.
• 25:23
  Step back.
• 25:23
  We're going to investigate this cave real quick.
• 25:25
  Why?
• 25:26
  Okay.
• 25:26
  Bye.
• 25:30
  He's just running into a cave?
• 25:32
  Yeah.
• 25:33
  Okay, follow up.
• 25:36
  Definitely taunting me with
• 25:39
  maybe when he gets into a cave, he starts, like, hitting it
• 25:42
  on rocks. Hey, you stopped that.
• 25:45
  You stopped hitting those rocks.
• 25:46
  I'll pick up, like, little pebbles and start hitting, like, a baseball bat
• 25:49
  or something.
• 25:51
  Okay, so it's, uh, a couple of minutes before you
• 25:54
  guys make it down to the cave entrance, since
• 25:57
  that individual, that mysterious figure, kind of ran
• 26:00
  inside. So there's maybe, like, a five minute difference before you're able
• 26:03
  to get in there. Once you are directly inside the
• 26:06
  cave's opening, you find a small room with a
• 26:09
  split in tunnels, one leading to the right and
• 26:12
  one leading to the left above. Like,
• 26:14
  in between these two tunnels, you see, uh, an arrow
• 26:17
  that looks like it's drawn out on some kind of chalk,
• 26:20
  and it points to the tunnel on the
• 26:23
  right.
• 26:24
  Well, Mr. M. Give me my Bow staff back. Any bright
• 26:26
  ideas?
• 26:27
  Give me my Bow staff back. In a minute.
• 26:29
  Hold on.
• 26:30
  I give you the bow staff, you run off and leave me
• 26:33
  here. So we're in this together, are
• 26:36
  we? We're in a cave. It's a really cool thing.
• 26:38
  Just why are we in a cave?
• 26:39
  Because it's awesome, and we saw a guy come in
• 26:42
  here. I got to investigate.
• 26:44
  What do you mean a guy? You said this mentioned this guy twice now.
• 26:47
  Yeah, there was a guy. He was, like, rolling some barrels in here.
• 26:50
  I mean, that can't not be something sketchy.
• 26:53
  And so why not investigate?
• 26:55
  Well, because I know how good you are at stealthing and hiding behind
• 26:58
  people.
• 26:58
  What do you mean?
• 27:00
  I knew you were following me the whole way to the tree.
• 27:03
  Just to specify, though, Bill, you would have
• 27:06
  seen the ostrich horse and the cart parked outside of
• 27:09
  the yeah, you didn't see
• 27:12
  the guy, but you do.
• 27:13
  Know, like well, that's kind of weird.
• 27:14
  To just leave a I'm not doubting.
• 27:16
  That there wasn't a guy.
• 27:18
  But you are doubting my sneak.
• 27:20
  Yes. Correct? Yes.
• 27:21
  Well, what a time to, uh,
• 27:24
  change your mind.
• 27:25
  Let's go. No.
• 27:29
  Can'T hear you.
• 27:30
  I will go with you if you give me the boat
• 27:33
  stuff back.
• 27:34
  That's a promise.
• 27:35
  Now, how do I know you're not just going
• 27:38
  to run off once I give it to you?
• 27:40
  I mean, you could say I promise all you want. My dad promised to come
• 27:43
  back and look what happened. He's a
• 27:47
  viable cabbage farmer. I messed that up.
• 27:50
  Well, I tried to make an absentee.
• 27:52
  Dad joke, and it didn't work out.
• 27:55
  It's okay. Bill puts his hand on Brock's
• 27:58
  alder. It's okay. There's no shame
• 28:01
  in having a good father figure in your life.
• 28:03
  I'm going to do, like, a quick clap just to cut that out.
• 28:07
  Okay? Just to cut out that stupid
• 28:10
  joke.
• 28:10
  Uh, do you want to do a
• 28:13
  comfort or support?
• 28:16
  That's an option. It's like the opposite of comfort support.
• 28:19
  This is more like
• 28:21
  consoling effort.
• 28:23
  Well, then, if that's the case, you could do a plead.
• 28:26
  Oh, yeah, I'm pleading with him. Give me my boast. I gave him
• 28:29
  my deal. I'll go with you into this cave.
• 28:32
  All right, give me my bo.
• 28:33
  Step back.
• 28:35
  That's.
• 28:39
  Four total.
• 28:40
  Yeah.
• 28:42
  I like how I normally roll really good, and I could do this
• 28:45
  many one shot, and Bill's like, I don't know what to
• 28:48
  do. I'm on vacation.
• 28:51
  I let your guard down.
• 28:52
  Yeah.
• 28:53
  It kind of falls on deaf ears.
• 28:55
  Yeah.
• 28:55
  Ah. So sorry. I can't hear you in a tunnel.
• 28:58
  Let's go. Okay. Which tunnel did you run down?
• 29:01
  Probably the one with the arrow.
• 29:02
  Uh, the arrow pointing to it.
• 29:04
  Of course. It says,
• 29:07
  follow me.
• 29:08
  It says, Certain death to the left.
• 29:11
  Sketchy guy with a barrel to the right. I'm
• 29:14
  going to go to the right.
• 29:15
  All right, so this tunnel opens up into a wide area,
• 29:18
  more of a chamber than a tunnel, really. The
• 29:21
  floor of this tunnel is covered in a
• 29:23
  layer of hay that's so thick, you
• 29:26
  can't even see the floor of the cavern below
• 29:29
  it. There are, though, some
• 29:32
  strange and almost seemingly because of the way that
• 29:35
  they're cut into almost like, tombstone
• 29:37
  shapes. Um, there are these
• 29:39
  manmade stone, or at least allegedly
• 29:42
  manmade stone outcroppings that poke out from
• 29:45
  the straw floor that
• 29:48
  just seem to sit there, um, above the or
• 29:51
  sticking out of the straw.
• 29:53
  How many are there?
• 29:55
  Uh, there's about a dozen.
• 29:56
  You said there's a cavern in there?
• 29:58
  Yeah.
• 29:58
  Or we're in a cavern.
• 29:59
  You step into the opening of. This cavern,
• 30:03
  the tunnel kind of becomes a wide cut.
• 30:04
  Yeah.
• 30:05
  And you can't see the floor because it's all covered in hay.
• 30:08
  And then amidst, uh, this whole area covered in hay,
• 30:11
  there are these stone outcroppings that stick out from the hay,
• 30:14
  and there's about a dozen.
• 30:17
  And that's all we can see in the room.
• 30:18
  Yes.
• 30:18
  Just these stone outcroppings.
• 30:20
  Right.
• 30:20
  And the hay.
• 30:21
  Right.
• 30:21
  I mean, unless you want to do some kind of investigation or
• 30:24
  something.
• 30:24
  Well, I've never seen a stone I couldn't
• 30:27
  hit.
• 30:28
  No, not with my bow staff. Don't even think
• 30:31
  about it. I see him raise it above his.
• 30:34
  Head like a spear as I raise the
• 30:36
  bow step.
• 30:37
  Don't use a rock.
• 30:38
  Break rocks with rocks. Don't use my bow step. The last thing I want
• 30:41
  to see you do is break that staff.
• 30:45
  That's what you sound like. Fine,
• 30:48
  here's your stupid bow step. So I'll toss him as bow staff.
• 30:51
  Okay.
• 30:52
  And that's when Bill runs out.
• 30:54
  Immediately, I'll just go up to
• 30:57
  the nearest one of these little tombstone
• 30:59
  things, and I'll try and dig the hay
• 31:02
  out from around the stone.
• 31:05
  Bill is going to do too.
• 31:06
  Yeah.
• 31:07
  Because I got to figure I take this.
• 31:09
  Are you going to the same one that he's going to, uh I'm
• 31:12
  more.
• 31:12
  Like I was thinking I was going watching him
• 31:15
  to see he said he was going to break it, so I was going to kind of watch him
• 31:18
  break it. But then when I saw him actually getting down, doing a sensible action,
• 31:21
  bill's like, oh, okay. So he gets down and starts hoping to move the
• 31:24
  hay.
• 31:24
  Okay, that was sensible action.
• 31:27
  When have I ever not been sensible?
• 31:29
  Uh.
• 31:32
  So, Brock, as you start well, as both of you
• 31:35
  start to clear away some of this hay that's by the
• 31:37
  stone, um,
• 31:40
  you kind of, like, clear it away, and then you end up getting
• 31:43
  around to the other side of the stone. So it's very flat.
• 31:46
  Um, so it has, like, two faces. Like, imagine like, a
• 31:49
  coin. One face is towards you, and it's
• 31:51
  just stone. But as you come around to the other side
• 31:54
  of this outcropping rock, you see the other
• 31:57
  face has, um,
• 32:00
  zero or like, a big circle
• 32:02
  drawn on it with that chalk.
• 32:05
  Same kind of chalk, same kind of style as you
• 32:08
  saw with the arrow pointing at
• 32:10
  the tunnel.
• 32:14
  Uh, as you clear away the hay, you just find
• 32:17
  just regular floor, stone floor, uh,
• 32:20
  below you.
• 32:21
  So if this has a zero on it and there's,
• 32:24
  like, ten or twelve of these things in here, I wonder
• 32:27
  if the other ones have different numbers. So I'm going to go over to another
• 32:30
  one and do the same thing.
• 32:31
  Brock, I thought you couldn't count.
• 32:33
  Well, I can identify a
• 32:35
  number.
• 32:36
  Okay.
• 32:37
  All right.
• 32:37
  So you notice they're in rows of like,
• 32:40
  there's two. Uh, like I said, it's
• 32:43
  kind of more of a cavern but it's pretty uniformly
• 32:46
  sized, so it's almost like just a wide tunnel, I guess you could
• 32:49
  say. Um, there's, like, two of these stone
• 32:51
  outcroppings almost, like, perfectly adjacent to each
• 32:54
  other, probably about, like, 10ft apart. And
• 32:57
  then there's 5ft between the end
• 32:59
  of the stone outcropping to the wall.
• 33:02
  So it's about 20ft total wide. Um,
• 33:06
  so the first stone that you walked up to was on the right
• 33:09
  side, and you clear it out. It had the zero on
• 33:12
  it. You move forward to the next one. You
• 33:15
  go diagonally, so you go to the one on the left.
• 33:18
  Do, uh, you clear out hay, or do you just look at the outcropping?
• 33:21
  I'll clear out hay.
• 33:22
  Okay, you'll clear out some hay. It's just stone. And you
• 33:25
  see another zero on this rock. But as you turn
• 33:28
  around, you can see the face of the rock behind
• 33:31
  you, the one that was right next to the one that you cleared the hay from. And it has
• 33:34
  an X on it.
• 33:36
  We're playing tic TAC freaking toe,
• 33:39
  man.
• 33:41
  What? What do you mean? I'm going to
• 33:44
  go over to a different one and clear it.
• 33:46
  When you go to a different one, do you go to one?
• 33:49
  The one straight above the one we first cleared,
• 33:52
  straight up to the right.
• 33:54
  So the one that Brock didn't clear, the one next to the one Brock just
• 33:56
  cleared. Uh, okay.
• 33:59
  So the first one had an O diagonal
• 34:01
  up to the left had an X
• 34:04
  middle. And the one next to the
• 34:07
  one that I had originally done was
• 34:10
  an O.
• 34:11
  No, that's the one clearing.
• 34:13
  So we've only done two.
• 34:15
  Yeah.
• 34:15
  Okay.
• 34:16
  Um, so you walked up to this one. It
• 34:19
  had an O on it. Um, you
• 34:22
  went over to this one. You looked,
• 34:25
  and it had an O on it. That one looked back,
• 34:27
  and this had an X on.
• 34:30
  Okay, so which one are you going to?
• 34:33
  The one above the first O.
• 34:34
  This one?
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  Okay.
• 34:36
  All right.
• 34:37
  Now that we've drawn it out, everybody is good with where
• 34:40
  we're at. Maybe, um, I'll try to remember to
• 34:43
  take a picture.
• 34:43
  I don't know.
• 34:44
  I might just make a version of this that's been edited so
• 34:46
  that it looks fancy and not just me making
• 34:49
  weird drawing stuff on the paper, but anyway.
• 34:52
  All right, so you walk up to this other one,
• 34:55
  and as you do, you feel a slight
• 34:58
  click underneath your foot. And then all of a
• 35:01
  sudden, you feel yourself thrown backwards
• 35:03
  as a massive explosion erupts in the
• 35:06
  cave. You, um, take
• 35:09
  a fatigue, and you are
• 35:14
  impaired.
• 35:16
  Should have been more careful, man.
• 35:18
  More careful.
• 35:21
  Broccoli. That's what they call me.
• 35:23
  Yes.
• 35:23
  You took my stick.
• 35:24
  You have your stick, actually.
• 35:27
  Sorry. You're stunned. Okay, so
• 35:30
  after, ah, a couple of seconds, as per
• 35:33
  the stunned concept, uh, you're able to pick yourself
• 35:35
  up off the floor. Um, and you see that
• 35:38
  the whole area where the hay was where you had
• 35:41
  stepped. It's obviously scattered everywhere. Some of it is
• 35:44
  all over Brock right now.
• 35:46
  Um, and the stone
• 35:48
  outcropping that was there has
• 35:51
  been blown to smithereens. Uh, there is no
• 35:55
  stone outcropping there anymore.
• 35:56
  Just gone now.
• 35:57
  Yeah.
• 35:58
  Okay.
• 36:00
  Did I win?
• 36:03
  Yeah, congrats. You won the
• 36:05
  Get Exploded award.
• 36:07
  The weirdest game of tic TAC toe I've ever
• 36:10
  played.
• 36:12
  Where else would you want to be spending your vacation other
• 36:15
  than getting blown.
• 36:15
  Up and my tree?
• 36:18
  Uh, don't, uh, even worry about the tree. It'll still be there.
• 36:21
  Hey, funny thing is, Brock,
• 36:24
  I've broken more rocks than you.
• 36:29
  Uh, so just in a rage, I'll
• 36:32
  just go and kick the next one. I don't
• 36:35
  even uncover. Um, I just kick this one,
• 36:38
  the.
• 36:38
  One above the exploding one.
• 36:40
  It blows up.
• 36:44
  You take one fatigue, and you also get sent
• 36:47
  flying backwards right next to.
• 36:50
  I was like, Take that, idiot.
• 36:54
  Ah, I got you.
• 36:56
  I bet you feel real stupid.
• 37:00
  I feel dumb.
• 37:01
  Brock, that one's
• 37:04
  gone.
• 37:04
  Okay.
• 37:05
  Do we happen to know why these are exploding?
• 37:08
  I don't know.
• 37:10
  Why are we even messing with these?
• 37:13
  Because we saw the guy.
• 37:15
  He's not even here.
• 37:17
  Allegedly. We got to keep looking.
• 37:19
  Allegedly.
• 37:20
  There's no guy here. There's the other tunnel.
• 37:23
  Oh, tunnel.
• 37:26
  No, I know what you're thinking.
• 37:28
  No, you don't know where you would go
• 37:32
  underground.
• 37:32
  I know exactly where I would go.
• 37:37
  So Brock
• 37:41
  so before getting into a tunnel
• 37:44
  haphazardly, brock will
• 37:47
  do a bit of Earth bending in the ground to sort of open
• 37:50
  up a little hole that he would then
• 37:53
  jump into to start a tunnel. So
• 37:56
  he'll step on the ground and open it up
• 38:00
  like an elevator shaft type deal.
• 38:02
  Okay.
• 38:03
  And just make sure that there's no more
• 38:06
  explosives underground.
• 38:08
  Okay.
• 38:08
  I'm, like, in the middle, though. I'm in the middle.
• 38:11
  You're just opening up a straight down
• 38:14
  elevator shaft.
• 38:15
  I do have to ask very important question
• 38:18
  here.
• 38:18
  Straight down, is it just rock
• 38:21
  sized.
• 38:22
  Hole or did you make it bigger that
• 38:25
  Bill falls down with you because he's right next to you.
• 38:28
  Well, now that you
• 38:32
  like, I don't put myself down.
• 38:35
  I'm standing behind it. That way
• 38:38
  if there's anything under there.
• 38:40
  You can jump down.
• 38:41
  I don't fall to certain do a.
• 38:43
  Reliable skills and training. He's doing the minecraft.
• 38:45
  You don't dig straight down.
• 38:47
  Don't dig straight down, because then you're in trouble.
• 38:50
  What do I add to it?
• 38:52
  Uh, that one is focus.
• 38:53
  If it's your skills and training, yes.
• 38:56
  Okay, so seven.
• 38:57
  Seven. Okay.
• 38:58
  You do it, but you do it imperfectly. So, um,
• 39:01
  you start to fall
• 39:04
  because you just opened up and you kind of
• 39:06
  misjudged the size of your hole. Uh, your foot
• 39:09
  starts to go down. Uh, you reach out to
• 39:12
  grab something and you grab onto this
• 39:14
  root that's kind of hanging out of the wall. And you
• 39:17
  pull it and it pulls down kind of an OD amount before just
• 39:20
  stopping all of a sudden. Uh, but it allows you to
• 39:23
  catch yourself before you fall down the hole.
• 39:25
  Okay. So I'm just kind of dangling from a vine now.
• 39:28
  Ah.
• 39:29
  Bill's going to offer him his bow.
• 39:30
  Staff to grab after he
• 39:33
  kept it away from you.
• 39:34
  That's so nice of you. I'll grab onto the
• 39:37
  bow staff and then come back up top and assess the
• 39:40
  situation we got here.
• 39:41
  Lift him up.
• 39:43
  Okay.
• 39:43
  You lift him up.
• 39:44
  Yeah.
• 39:44
  Um, would you like to roll and assess
• 39:47
  the situation then?
• 39:48
  I'll do the same.
• 39:49
  Or do you want to help?
• 39:52
  Sure.
• 39:53
  Okay, so I'm assessing the situation. He's rolling to
• 39:55
  help.
• 39:56
  Well, this marks a fatigue. If I help oh, that's
• 39:58
  true.
• 40:00
  You already helped.
• 40:02
  Let's just assess the situation.
• 40:03
  I got a six.
• 40:04
  I got a seven.
• 40:07
  Okay.
• 40:07
  Well, Brock, you're a little, like
• 40:10
  yeah, you're a little shuddered from exploded.
• 40:12
  You almost fell.
• 40:13
  It looks like we got a hole
• 40:15
  here. I'm like, I have a concussion.
• 40:18
  Well, you're looking down your hole. You're like, all
• 40:21
  right, let's see, what was I looking for again?
• 40:23
  There's definitely a hole.
• 40:26
  There's a hole. It's a hole. And sure enough, it is a hole. It
• 40:29
  just goes down as far as your Earth bending
• 40:32
  skills allowed it to go down.
• 40:33
  I was hoping for
• 40:35
  10ft the most.
• 40:38
  Okay, so there's a ten foot hole.
• 40:40
  Oh, jeez.
• 40:40
  Uh, Bill, on the other hand, you get to ask me one of the questions from
• 40:43
  the assessor situation list.
• 40:45
  What should I be on the lookout for?
• 40:46
  What should you be on the lookout for? Uh, actually, yeah. As you
• 40:49
  glance, uh, across the room, you notice something
• 40:52
  that wasn't there before. Uh, you see
• 40:55
  that there is a mirror
• 40:58
  at the end of the room, as I said, wasn't there
• 41:01
  before, but now it is. Uh, and through the
• 41:04
  mirror, you can actually see all the stones,
• 41:07
  uh, from the other side, so you can see what markings
• 41:09
  are on the other face of the stone.
• 41:12
  Okay.
• 41:13
  Uh, I'm going to hit Brock.
• 41:15
  I hit him.
• 41:16
  I'm going to tap no, like
• 41:19
  the thing where you tap something back of your hand.
• 41:23
  Hey, Brock, uh, was that there
• 41:25
  before?
• 41:26
  Was what there before? Those six mirrors. I don't know what you're talking
• 41:29
  about.
• 41:29
  It's just six.
• 41:33
  I exploded. I probably hit my head down there. Don't worry.
• 41:35
  I was a little bird flying around his head.
• 41:38
  Anyone going to get that phone?
• 41:41
  What's? A phone?
• 41:43
  Brock no, it's just one mirror, Brock.
• 41:46
  But you see the mirror,
• 41:49
  was that there before?
• 41:51
  I don't think so. It was just kind of dark in here.
• 41:55
  Uh, Bill's going to look a little closer and see the
• 41:58
  back of the rocks now.
• 41:59
  Yeah.
• 42:00
  So you can see that all of them are marked with either a zero
• 42:03
  or an X. Um, and you can see which ones are
• 42:06
  marked with which. Obviously, you're able to work
• 42:08
  out that uh, things would be in
• 42:11
  reverse because it's a mirror.
• 42:13
  Would we?
• 42:14
  Yeah, you would.
• 42:16
  I feel like I feel like, yeah, if it was Brock looking at it,
• 42:19
  he'd be like, all right, all the X's are over here.
• 42:22
  Put them down the right order, and we'll just have Brock go to
• 42:24
  the
• 42:27
  oh, that one's.
• 42:33
  Are the so from left to right.
• 42:36
  So I was just going to tell you.
• 42:38
  I wasn't even going to mark on.
• 42:40
  Unless you really needed it. So you just want to
• 42:43
  go jump to that left one and build points to
• 42:46
  the one up to the left. Just keep following that one
• 42:49
  straight ahead.
• 42:50
  The X?
• 42:51
  No, the circle. Yeah. He
• 42:54
  points at the front right one, and he points to the
• 42:57
  diagonal. He says just jump to that and then just keep
• 43:00
  going straight from there.
• 43:03
  Okay, so I'll
• 43:06
  follow the circles.
• 43:07
  All right, you follow the circles. So you go to these two.
• 43:10
  Uh, yeah.
• 43:11
  And right before he goes to the last one, bill's going to
• 43:14
  yell, wait.
• 43:14
  He'S got 1ft in the air.
• 43:17
  Why?
• 43:18
  Uh, go diagonal.
• 43:22
  Okay, I miscalculated something.
• 43:26
  Whatever.
• 43:27
  Nerd.
• 43:29
  They're my custard.
• 43:31
  I'll go diagonal.
• 43:33
  Bracko's diagonal. And you find yourself at the end of the
• 43:36
  tunnel.
• 43:37
  Okay.
• 43:37
  Bill's going to follow same order.
• 43:40
  All right.
• 43:40
  And then as you guys both make it to the end of the tunnel, uh,
• 43:43
  there's a short tunnel that goes past
• 43:46
  that does, um, not have any hay on the ground or
• 43:49
  anything like that. You also notice, uh, to
• 43:52
  your right, kind, uh, of in a corner,
• 43:55
  there is strangely, uh, familiar
• 43:58
  looking route just hanging from the wall.
• 44:01
  Strangely familiar route like
• 44:04
  the route that was in.
• 44:05
  Is this like a dead end?
• 44:07
  No, there's a tunnel that keeps going. I'm just letting
• 44:10
  I want to pull that route. All right,
• 44:14
  you pull the route, and as you do, the mirror at the
• 44:17
  end of the hall sort of, um, almost
• 44:20
  like, uh, one of those bookcases where you
• 44:23
  pull the book and it kind of moves. This one just it
• 44:25
  spins like it's on a platform. And then on the back,
• 44:28
  there's just a rock that, uh, just blends
• 44:31
  in.
• 44:31
  With the back of the cave.
• 44:33
  That's probably fine.
• 44:35
  Yeah.
• 44:36
  Let's keep going. Right.
• 44:39
  It's probably fine.
• 44:41
  It's a rock.
• 44:42
  And of course, as you look back, you can just personally see
• 44:45
  all the X's and the zeros since you're on
• 44:48
  the other side of the rock. Um, all right,
• 44:51
  you go a little bit further down, uh, the tunnel, and you
• 44:54
  come to another chamber.
• 44:58
  Uh, coming into this chamber, you can see
• 45:01
  that there are now three different
• 45:03
  tunnels that you can choose from.
• 45:05
  What, uh.
• 45:09
  That go further in? Yes. Um, the
• 45:11
  tunnels are
• 45:14
  each labeled with that same
• 45:17
  kind of chalk artwork that you saw before.
• 45:19
  Uh, one of them shows a series of swirled
• 45:22
  lines suggesting almost like a cartoonish
• 45:25
  tornado. Um, one
• 45:28
  of them has a cartoonish foot with little,
• 45:31
  like, wavy lines coming off of it. Like as if
• 45:34
  someone were saying, this is a stinky foot. Um,
• 45:38
  and then one of them has no
• 45:40
  drawing, but instead has words
• 45:43
  and it just reads, if you're not
• 45:46
  Kuro, don't go down this tunnel.
• 45:49
  I mean it.
• 45:53
  So we're going down that, right.
• 45:58
  Which one?
• 45:59
  Uh, the one that says, if you're not Kuro,
• 46:03
  you don't come down here. Why else
• 46:06
  would they have that sign if not something cools on the
• 46:08
  other end?
• 46:09
  It's probably some dude's bedroom.
• 46:12
  Cave bedroom. Yoon would be familiar with
• 46:15
  that.
• 46:15
  Yeah. And then we can bond and become
• 46:18
  friends over our love of cave style
• 46:21
  bedrooms.
• 46:23
  What kind of dude did you see come down here anyways?
• 46:26
  No, it was just a dude with a barrel, which
• 46:28
  is weird because there's
• 46:31
  no large impressions or anything in the ground.
• 46:34
  Are there impressions on the ground of where a barrel might have been?
• 46:37
  Oh.
• 46:37
  Do you want to assess the situation?
• 46:40
  I want to assess it so hard.
• 46:42
  Assess the situation,
• 46:45
  too.
• 46:46
  You look around and you're like, no, it's
• 46:49
  rocks. Why would there be any it's not dirt. There's no
• 46:52
  barrel impression.
• 46:53
  Well, so much for that.
• 46:56
  Um,
• 46:59
  yeah.
• 47:00
  You got any better ideas?
• 47:03
  Would you rather go into a tornado or a place that smells
• 47:06
  like feet? Or would you want to go
• 47:09
  check out a best friend, potential best friend named Kura?
• 47:12
  I want to go back to my tree.
• 47:13
  Well, too late.
• 47:15
  Uh, that's the one option I'm not giving you.
• 47:18
  We're in the tunnel. We're already here. We're
• 47:21
  having an adventure. We're having fun. So
• 47:24
  where are we going? I love being told I'm having
• 47:27
  fun, right? We're all having a good time.
• 47:29
  Uh, it's a nice little hike. Don't
• 47:32
  worry.
• 47:37
  So, story time.
• 47:39
  So I'm going to do a quick little thing here. So
• 47:42
  on our last day in Flagstaff, right,
• 47:46
  there's a hike called Devil's Bridge. And
• 47:49
  so I had been there before and it was like, uh, an
• 47:52
  hour long hike. So they were like, you know, we got to
• 47:54
  do something easy because we've been hiking for like four days straight.
• 47:57
  And I was like, you know, there's this nice little easy hike called Devil's
• 48:00
  Bridge. And it's like a
• 48:03
  mile one way to a mile back.
• 48:06
  And so we start on the
• 48:09
  trail and we're on there for like 20 minutes. And they're
• 48:12
  like, we should start to be going uphill, right, because
• 48:15
  we're on, like, ground level. Uh, so I'm like,
• 48:18
  don't worry, it's a nice little hike kids do. It'll be fine. And
• 48:21
  we pass these two ladies that came up.
• 48:24
  Uh, yeah. So we started at like 1030, right?
• 48:27
  And we look at our watches. It's like
• 48:29
  02:00.
• 48:30
  Oh, my God.
• 48:33
  Yeah.
• 48:34
  So everyone's just like, dude, what did you get us
• 48:36
  into? I was like, don't worry, it's a nice little hike. So
• 48:39
  3 hours later mind, uh, you
• 48:42
  I'm in jeans. Cameron didn't pack a full water
• 48:45
  bottle. Josiah's in jeans. Nick
• 48:48
  was the only one who's smart enough to wear shorts and pack a full
• 48:51
  water bottle. And we're up at the top and
• 48:53
  everyone's just like shooting daggers at me.
• 48:57
  It was a nice little hang.
• 48:58
  Kids do it.
• 48:59
  Kids do it.
• 49:00
  Kids do it.
• 49:01
  4 hours old ladies do it.
• 49:05
  So you got your three tunnels.
• 49:07
  Just choose a path and I'll follow you.
• 49:09
  Enie meanie mini. We're going in the
• 49:12
  other in the.
• 49:13
  Kuro, the one where it talks about.
• 49:15
  A new best friend.
• 49:16
  All right, we're meeting a new best friend whose name is apparently Kuro.
• 49:19
  Kuro, you say how you say it's all good.
• 49:22
  Um, all right, so as you guys come around to the
• 49:25
  corner, uh, so this tunnel kind of like is at angle.
• 49:27
  You go in, you take a corner. You can kind of hear something
• 49:30
  as you're making your way around this corner and you quickly realize what
• 49:33
  it is that you're hearing. Uh, the tunnel itself
• 49:36
  is quite brightly lit,
• 49:39
  uh, because
• 49:42
  even worse, uh, because there
• 49:45
  is a wall of flames
• 49:48
  shooting just kind of like in the
• 49:50
  shape of a wall. Like it's not shooting towards you. Like
• 49:53
  incredible. It's just like a series of
• 49:56
  flames all shooting into each other
• 49:59
  from the walls, the ceiling and the floor.
• 50:02
  And it creates just a wall of flames in
• 50:05
  front of you, blocking
• 50:07
  your ability to get through.
• 50:09
  Well, yeah, no, I'm not well, we're on stone
• 50:12
  floors. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to earth bend some
• 50:15
  walls to block the flames. We're going to walk
• 50:18
  right through. I'm m going to rely on my skills and
• 50:21
  training.
• 50:21
  You better.
• 50:22
  Uh, and we're going to go right through that wall of
• 50:24
  flames because I rolled a
• 50:27
  seven.
• 50:29
  Okay, so you stomped the ground.
• 50:31
  Wait, it's still with focus, right?
• 50:33
  Yeah.
• 50:34
  Okay.
• 50:34
  Yeah.
• 50:34
  So seven.
• 50:35
  All right.
• 50:36
  You stomp the ground. A chunk of rock comes out
• 50:39
  and it moves forward over the kind of
• 50:42
  openings of wherever these flames are
• 50:45
  coming out of. It blocks the floor,
• 50:48
  but the flames from the ceiling are still coming down and the
• 50:51
  flames from the two walls are still coming across. And you're
• 50:54
  feeling quite tired
• 50:57
  between the.
• 50:57
  Explosion and the other thing, the constant
• 51:00
  hole digging.
• 51:02
  Well, you see, I'm, um nothing if
• 51:05
  not stubborn. Um,
• 51:08
  stubborn as a mule.
• 51:11
  Wait, can I even roll again?
• 51:13
  You can, but I'm just going to warn you because of how
• 51:16
  tired you are, you're going to take a well, okay.
• 51:19
  Because all things considered, with rely on your skills and
• 51:21
  training, it explicitly says you can make it a full
• 51:24
  success, but you'll take a fatigue if you do.
• 51:27
  So, I mean, can I just roll again?
• 51:29
  Because I just rolled.
• 51:31
  No, I had that cheating,
• 51:34
  classic Connor Dice roll right there.
• 51:38
  I was like this and I'm like, yeah.
• 51:41
  It says you can accept the consequences, which are that you only cover
• 51:44
  one section.
• 51:44
  You want to succeed on that first mild success
• 51:47
  and get a fatigue.
• 51:49
  What's the alternative? We just have to reassess and figure
• 51:52
  something else out. Yeah, all right, let's just reassess.
• 51:56
  No, I'm not going that way.
• 51:58
  Well, what would you suggest anyway but that
• 52:01
  one. You're, uh, just no fun
• 52:04
  today, are you?
• 52:04
  Dude, I'm not a fan of fire.
• 52:07
  Fine. We'll go in the stupid foot
• 52:09
  tunnel.
• 52:10
  As long as there's not fire, I'm fine with it. All right.
• 52:13
  Foot tunnel.
• 52:15
  Secret foot tunnel.
• 52:16
  All right, so as you guys, you make your way back to
• 52:19
  the first chamber or I guess technically second that
• 52:22
  was the first chamber. Anyway, uh, you go down the tunnel with the
• 52:25
  marking of the foot. That looks thank you.
• 52:28
  Ah.
• 52:28
  As you guys make your way down, this, um,
• 52:31
  this one has a much fainter glow about it.
• 52:34
  And you quickly realize this because, uh, as you turn another
• 52:37
  corner, um, it opens up into
• 52:40
  a floor that is covered with
• 52:43
  hot coals and embers. Um,
• 52:46
  it's a very rounded out, almost a perfect
• 52:49
  circle through this tunnel. Like I said, the floor is covered
• 52:52
  with these coals. Um, there's some sort of
• 52:55
  flame or something underneath it that seems to keep these
• 52:58
  embers hot, but it doesn't really shoot through too
• 53:00
  much. Um, and as you look at the
• 53:03
  walls and the ceiling, you notice that there's this strange ooze
• 53:06
  that seems to be dripping down across it.
• 53:10
  Well, I don't have a problem with this because I got them calloused
• 53:13
  feet. So what's your problem?
• 53:16
  What's your idea here?
• 53:17
  I'm just going to walk across these coals.
• 53:20
  I can I don't know about you.
• 53:22
  How big is it?
• 53:23
  Uh, it is about 20ft long.
• 53:27
  Pain don't hurt.
• 53:28
  Pain don't hurt.
• 53:30
  I got the calloused feet.
• 53:31
  I'm good.
• 53:31
  I'll just walk across.
• 53:32
  What would be a better T shirt idea? Pain don't
• 53:35
  hurt, or I've got the calloused feet.
• 53:38
  I want to see him cross first.
• 53:40
  Okay, I'll just walk across. I'll saunter
• 53:42
  even I might even meander, how's he doing?
• 53:45
  Perhaps gallivant.
• 53:47
  As you take your first footstep onto the
• 53:50
  coals, you hear the sizzle of
• 53:52
  meat cooking, and you immediately
• 53:55
  pull your foot back because these
• 53:58
  temperatures are hot, hot. Much
• 54:01
  like a mattress store sale.
• 54:06
  Good analogy.
• 54:07
  That'd be great.
• 54:10
  Uh, I hear a loud
• 54:13
  coming out of the.
• 54:17
  Tom and Jerry type scream.
• 54:20
  Uh, how you doing there, Brock?
• 54:22
  I'm great. I was chilling.
• 54:24
  Why are you on the ground holding your foot?
• 54:26
  Don't worry about it. It's all good. I'll get there, I
• 54:29
  stumped my toe.
• 54:30
  Pain don't hurt. Pain don't hurt.
• 54:32
  It's a nice, easy walk. Kids do it.
• 54:34
  Only miko is here.
• 54:36
  Cool.
• 54:37
  That burn off real easy.
• 54:39
  All right, well, here's what I'm going
• 54:42
  to do. I'm going to try the other
• 54:45
  foot.
• 54:50
  You want to try the third tunnel before we figure out
• 54:53
  which one to do which one's the easiest?
• 54:55
  Yeah.
• 54:55
  Uh.
• 54:57
  I don't know.
• 54:58
  Maybe go back so stupid with your
• 55:00
  sensible ideas anyways.
• 55:03
  Come on, Brock.
• 55:04
  Be impulsive once in a while.
• 55:07
  Uh, bill leads Brock hopping on 1ft
• 55:10
  out of the tunnel and back to the chamber where they take
• 55:13
  the third and final tunnel that depicted a
• 55:16
  tornado uh, looking thing. And
• 55:19
  again, it's got a corner around the corner.
• 55:22
  This one's pretty well lit up, and you find
• 55:24
  yourselves, uh, it opens up into
• 55:27
  a sort of wide circular room.
• 55:30
  And in the middle of this room, there's a
• 55:32
  flaming vortex that just seems to be nonstop.
• 55:35
  Uh, there's a heavy wind that seems to be moving
• 55:38
  throughout this room. Um, you can kind of see
• 55:41
  some openings in the walls of the
• 55:44
  room that you wonder if maybe they're what are allowing
• 55:47
  the wind to kind of come through. You're not sure how. It's
• 55:50
  got to be something you can't see deeper into the tunnel
• 55:53
  or something, but it's pushing air through
• 55:56
  here, which is swirling around. And there's a
• 55:58
  tornado of literal flames swirling in
• 56:01
  the midst of this tunnel.
• 56:03
  Where are the flames coming from?
• 56:05
  Uh, it looks like the floor and the ceiling.
• 56:07
  There's some sort of, like, spout almost
• 56:10
  that is maintaining the flames in
• 56:13
  here.
• 56:13
  All right, time for impulsive idea number three.
• 56:16
  I'm going to try and earth bend a giant rock,
• 56:19
  and I'm just trying to plug the holes on the top and the
• 56:22
  bottom.
• 56:23
  Where are you pulling the rock from?
• 56:25
  Wasn't it like a stone? Oh, it's a stone floor. And if the
• 56:28
  flames are coming from the floor, I
• 56:31
  might just, um
• 56:35
  that's a great question. Uh,
• 56:38
  can I first feel the floor with my non
• 56:41
  charred feet in hands okay. To see if
• 56:44
  there's any heat coming from the
• 56:46
  ground? Is this a roll situation?
• 56:48
  No, um, I could tell you the
• 56:51
  heat is coming from the tornado for sure. The
• 56:54
  flaming vortex. Um, the
• 56:57
  ground and the walls of
• 57:00
  this open area seem to be
• 57:02
  reasonably, like, just warm but not
• 57:05
  hot. But the vortex
• 57:07
  itself, like the spinning flames, um, because
• 57:10
  it's so random and variating,
• 57:13
  uh, sometimes it winds out to the
• 57:16
  full length of the cavern, and sometimes it kind of pulls
• 57:19
  itself into a thinner vortex. Um, but
• 57:22
  it's not really in any kind of a pattern, so it's
• 57:25
  hard to like you wouldn't really be able to look at it and
• 57:28
  be like, one, two, three. Okay, go.
• 57:31
  You can see an opening in the tunnel or at the
• 57:34
  other end of this room. Of course.
• 57:36
  Mhm.
• 57:38
  All right, so given these three options,
• 57:41
  and leaving is not one of them.
• 57:43
  Yeah.
• 57:45
  Okay.
• 57:48
  Can I assess the situation?
• 57:50
  Sure.
• 57:51
  All right, here we go.
• 57:52
  You're really distracted by the flames. They're kind of
• 57:55
  freaking you out.
• 57:56
  Yeah.
• 57:56
  I wanted to look for if there's another one
• 57:59
  of those moss things.
• 58:01
  Moss? What do you mean by moss?
• 58:02
  Things we pulled earlier in the back.
• 58:05
  Well, I got a nine.
• 58:07
  Yeah.
• 58:07
  Okay.
• 58:08
  So I can assess uh, well, you don't see anything.
• 58:10
  Okay.
• 58:11
  Yeah.
• 58:13
  How many questions do I get to nine?
• 58:15
  You'd get one question.
• 58:16
  What year can I use to blank? Or what is biggest thread? What should
• 58:19
  I be able to look out for? Oh, what is our best
• 58:22
  way through on this
• 58:24
  one?
• 58:25
  Your best way through would be by
• 58:27
  blocking either one of the
• 58:29
  openings for the air or one of the openings
• 58:32
  for the fire.
• 58:34
  Well, I already thought of that.
• 58:39
  What if you close those things on the
• 58:42
  side? Close the things look
• 58:45
  and bill points at the holes on the side that are creating the
• 58:48
  wind. What if you just took
• 58:51
  your rock bending and you just closed those
• 58:53
  holes? Wouldn't it cause that tornado
• 58:56
  spinning effect to just stop and it would just be a pillar of heat in the
• 58:59
  middle and we could just walk around the edge of it.
• 59:01
  First of all, how dare you forgot like a rock bending. But secondly,
• 59:04
  I think that could work. So I'll
• 59:07
  earth bend the uh, air
• 59:10
  holes.
• 59:10
  Okay, now normally I'd say this is easy enough to
• 59:13
  do, but with your injured foot
• 59:16
  I'll have you rely on your skills and training.
• 59:19
  Yeah.
• 59:23
  I got a four.
• 59:27
  Or maybe it would have been Push Your Luck, but I don't think it.
• 59:30
  Really well, let's roll for Push Your luck.
• 59:34
  Well, if you have an addition to.
• 59:36
  It, I think I should roll again.
• 59:38
  So what's he do?
• 59:40
  I got an eight.
• 59:43
  I got double fours for the second
• 59:46
  roll.
• 59:46
  Okay, what'd you get for the first roll?
• 59:48
  I got a four. Don't worry about it.
• 59:50
  All right, so you go to
• 59:53
  do your earth bending and as soon as
• 59:56
  you realize that part of the form to
• 59:58
  do this earth bending requires the
• 1:00:01
  hurt foot. And so the second you slam that foot
• 1:00:04
  down, it just shrieks with burning pain
• 1:00:07
  and you immediately pull back and
• 1:00:10
  you're a little frustrated because
• 1:00:14
  you're semi disabled.
• 1:00:17
  In fact, one might say you are
• 1:00:20
  impaired.
• 1:00:21
  Oh. Am I impaired?
• 1:00:22
  Leg disabled.
• 1:00:24
  Uh, mark one fatigue or take
• 1:00:27
  minus two to all physical actions.
• 1:00:33
  Uh, jeez.
• 1:00:36
  Or choose one fewer
• 1:00:38
  techniques.
• 1:00:39
  Oh, that's for NPCs. Uh,
• 1:00:42
  so the first thing is for player
• 1:00:44
  characters. The other one. Uh, so if you ever
• 1:00:47
  inflicted an.
• 1:00:48
  NPC well,
• 1:00:51
  I would only have three potatoes. Mark
• 1:00:53
  one. Could I
• 1:00:57
  if you're going to mark the rest,
• 1:01:00
  I'm going to say can I mark the one fatigue
• 1:01:03
  but do it in order to have success
• 1:01:06
  and not because I'm impaired.
• 1:01:10
  Because if I'm losing one fatigue anyways, might as well have it
• 1:01:13
  actually work.
• 1:01:14
  Oh, you're saying for the realize.
• 1:01:16
  Well.
• 1:01:19
  I think that's only if you get the seven to nine, which does
• 1:01:22
  it imperfectly. Uh, if you get less than that, you're just
• 1:01:25
  failing completely.
• 1:01:27
  And I just got to choose now what I'm taking.
• 1:01:30
  Well, I think you choose that in the moment when you do
• 1:01:33
  something you'll either take minus two. Or you'll
• 1:01:36
  mark the fatigue.
• 1:01:38
  Oh, wait, my focus is plus one.
• 1:01:41
  Either way, it's a five.
• 1:01:43
  Okay.
• 1:01:44
  It's still a failure.
• 1:01:46
  You're poor foot.
• 1:01:48
  I think I'll minus two to my
• 1:01:50
  abilities.
• 1:01:52
  All of them.
• 1:01:53
  Um, well, it's just for physical if
• 1:01:56
  you're doing something, like, physically.
• 1:01:58
  So my entire brand.
• 1:02:03
  You'Ve, uh, really limited our group.
• 1:02:05
  Okay, well, it's a prequel. I got to
• 1:02:07
  survive.
• 1:02:08
  I didn't think we were going to die.
• 1:02:12
  It's a fun little cave explorer.
• 1:02:15
  Kids do it.
• 1:02:15
  Kids do it's. A fun little cave exploration.
• 1:02:18
  All right, so now that I am in pain
• 1:02:21
  okay.
• 1:02:22
  So Bill sees him writhing on the ground,
• 1:02:24
  and he's just going to kind of be like, okay, this
• 1:02:27
  guy, um, he's going to
• 1:02:30
  walk over to one of those holes that's creating the
• 1:02:33
  wind, and he's going to see what happens when
• 1:02:36
  he puts his hand against them.
• 1:02:38
  Okay. Um, you put your hand against it, you
• 1:02:41
  feel the air trickling through your fingers, but obviously you've kind
• 1:02:44
  of plugged up the majority of what's coming through.
• 1:02:47
  Um, what you see is that the vortex kind of
• 1:02:50
  slows a little bit on one side and kind of gets pushed ever
• 1:02:53
  so slightly to the
• 1:02:55
  actually towards your direction, because the air
• 1:02:58
  from the other sides of the cave are pushing it towards
• 1:03:01
  the one that doesn't have air coming through it.
• 1:03:03
  How many of these holes are there?
• 1:03:05
  Um, there's probably
• 1:03:08
  six, I believe.
• 1:03:09
  Six. Three on each side?
• 1:03:11
  Yeah.
• 1:03:12
  I mean, they're scattered about, so it's kind of like, ah, a diagonal
• 1:03:15
  line, almost.
• 1:03:16
  Okay. Yeah.
• 1:03:18
  Because if they were straight across from each other, they'd
• 1:03:21
  just be blowing this.
• 1:03:22
  And when he pushes his hand against the block, the hole
• 1:03:25
  does it feel like air is coming out of it?
• 1:03:27
  Yeah.
• 1:03:27
  And it's stone under us. Right, right.
• 1:03:32
  I can do it.
• 1:03:33
  I can earth bend.
• 1:03:40
  Can you Earth bend with your hands? Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  Now, your foot I mean, it's not.
• 1:03:45
  Going to be as good, but yeah.
• 1:03:47
  How about Earth bend dirt onto a stone
• 1:03:50
  to just solidify it? Yeah, I could do that.
• 1:03:52
  Okay.
• 1:03:52
  I'll be right back. And Bill's going to start taking off into the other
• 1:03:55
  room. You stay right here. Don't hurt your foot anymore.
• 1:03:57
  I'll just be here sitting in pain. Don't mind me.
• 1:04:00
  Bill is going to go run off to that hole that
• 1:04:03
  Brock made.
• 1:04:04
  Okay.
• 1:04:05
  And he is going to grab as much loose dirt as he
• 1:04:08
  can, and he's going to start filling up the extra bag he
• 1:04:11
  has on him.
• 1:04:11
  Okay.
• 1:04:12
  Because he has his pouch of his stuff that he was going to
• 1:04:15
  take to with.
• 1:04:15
  Just to clarify, this is a ten foot hole.
• 1:04:18
  Yeah.
• 1:04:18
  He's grabbing loose dirt on the side.
• 1:04:20
  Of the oh, on the side of the hole.
• 1:04:21
  He's just filling up the bag with the loose dirt.
• 1:04:23
  That bag back in the tree?
• 1:04:25
  No, he had his own bag.
• 1:04:27
  There was a couple he had a couple of bags.
• 1:04:29
  Okay. Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  You load up some dirt into this bag.
• 1:04:33
  Okay.
• 1:04:34
  Well, there's other clothes and stuff in it, so he's going to kind of, like,
• 1:04:37
  dump those off into, like, a corner. A corner where the
• 1:04:40
  moss sorry, the root
• 1:04:42
  was that little alcove kind of thing. He
• 1:04:45
  ditches his stuff, puts it away there. He
• 1:04:48
  grabs his dirt, it comes running back to Brock, and he
• 1:04:50
  goes, all right, Brock, you're going to
• 1:04:53
  put this dirt in this hole, and then you're just going to
• 1:04:56
  press your hands on it and you're just going to solidify it
• 1:04:59
  to block the hole.
• 1:05:01
  Okay.
• 1:05:02
  I would use mud and water, but.
• 1:05:04
  I don't got any.
• 1:05:05
  I have my spit.
• 1:05:07
  Uh, no, you don't need to spit.
• 1:05:10
  We're not waterbenders.
• 1:05:13
  You're a rock bender, not
• 1:05:16
  waterbender.
• 1:05:17
  I'm a what?
• 1:05:19
  Brock, don't take offense there's, earthbenders.
• 1:05:22
  You're a rock bender because you love rock so
• 1:05:24
  much.
• 1:05:26
  My name's Brock.
• 1:05:28
  Brock The Rock Bender.
• 1:05:29
  Brock Lee the Rock Bender
• 1:05:32
  All right.
• 1:05:33
  So I'm going to call this a help.
• 1:05:35
  Okay.
• 1:05:36
  So you'll do a fatigue.
• 1:05:38
  That's fine. I feel like that makes sense because I'm getting tired from running,
• 1:05:41
  because what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be moving
• 1:05:44
  back and forth between him and doing this on the wall, and
• 1:05:47
  it's probably going to get me tired.
• 1:05:48
  It's going to take some time running.
• 1:05:49
  And moving and stuff.
• 1:05:51
  Absolutely.
• 1:05:51
  That makes sense.
• 1:05:52
  All right.
• 1:05:52
  And then, Brock, uh, I
• 1:05:55
  will let you do rely on your skills and training.
• 1:05:58
  And he gets a plus one.
• 1:05:59
  You get a plus.
• 1:06:00
  That's it.
• 1:06:02
  What about a plus? Oh, he gets another plus one because he assesses the
• 1:06:05
  situation. He's using the information to help him.
• 1:06:08
  I guess that's a plus one.
• 1:06:10
  So I'm back to zero because I have a minus two on
• 1:06:13
  all physical actions.
• 1:06:13
  Will this count, though, because he's not using his foot bill's,
• 1:06:16
  giving them the simplest action? He can just
• 1:06:19
  put dirt in a hole and just press it into it.
• 1:06:22
  Sure. Yeah.
• 1:06:23
  Since it's, uh, minimal physical activity for
• 1:06:25
  Brock, I'll let him do it at normal.
• 1:06:28
  Nice.
• 1:06:28
  Uh, so plus two extra to your normal.
• 1:06:31
  Because, I mean, the physical action was very like the
• 1:06:34
  impairment was explicitly his foot.
• 1:06:36
  So plus two to what? I roll? Plus
• 1:06:39
  the focus?
• 1:06:40
  Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  So I have a nine.
• 1:06:42
  A nine, okay. Um,
• 1:06:46
  you're able to get
• 1:06:48
  three well, you wouldn't even quite be able to get all
• 1:06:51
  three from one side. You're able to get two from
• 1:06:54
  one side and one from the other,
• 1:06:57
  which causes the flames to kind of move more
• 1:06:59
  upwards and focuses the vortex above you.
• 1:07:02
  That's cool.
• 1:07:03
  So we can just, like, lay fires.
• 1:07:05
  From the bottom and the top?
• 1:07:07
  Yeah, but it's kind of like just the way that you blocked out the
• 1:07:10
  it would push from above. So it'd actually be
• 1:07:13
  let's say you did the top ones, then okay.
• 1:07:16
  And then the one where below is just not even air holes are
• 1:07:19
  pushing it's. Just pushing it straight up. Uh, so the bottom,
• 1:07:22
  it kind of like narrows out the bottom of this twister and
• 1:07:25
  widens out this safer for.
• 1:07:27
  Us to just cross near the bottom.
• 1:07:29
  On, uh, the edge almost crawling. You could probably crawl.
• 1:07:31
  Crawl around the edge.
• 1:07:32
  Yeah. Okay.
• 1:07:34
  I think it looks good. We can just crawl across now.
• 1:07:36
  All right.
• 1:07:37
  It's just perfect for Brock.
• 1:07:38
  It's perfect because I can't use my foot.
• 1:07:41
  Right?
• 1:07:41
  Okay, well, Bill's going to be like, I'll be right back. And he's going to run
• 1:07:44
  back. He's going to empty whatever dirt
• 1:07:47
  hit the side of his bag to empty out the dirt through the hole. And
• 1:07:50
  he's going to load his stuff back up into whatever. He didn't have
• 1:07:53
  much. Uh, so it's like extra clothes and stuff,
• 1:07:56
  a little water canteen. But then he puts that back in his bag and
• 1:07:58
  he comes running back to Barack. He's like, all right, buddy,
• 1:08:01
  you can crawl. And we're going to start crawling across the bottom of this
• 1:08:04
  floor to the other side.
• 1:08:06
  All right. Uh, as you make
• 1:08:08
  it through, you make it to the end and it
• 1:08:11
  opens up once more into another chamber.
• 1:08:14
  And in this chamber, there's really
• 1:08:17
  not much here. Uh, there's a little bit of food and
• 1:08:20
  drink, which is nice. Um, and there
• 1:08:23
  is chalk ah, writing on the wall
• 1:08:26
  that simply reads the place
• 1:08:29
  through this tunnel. The place where dreams are
• 1:08:32
  blown up. And there's one
• 1:08:35
  tunnel to choose from this time. So not really even to choose
• 1:08:37
  from.
• 1:08:38
  It's just one tunnel.
• 1:08:40
  Well, I've never seen a bigger welcome
• 1:08:42
  sign. Let's do it, bro.
• 1:08:45
  Let go.
• 1:08:49
