  Speaker 1: That that particular character, not to spoil it any further,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: does not appear until the next book Gay to the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Parrel Gods. But that's not what we're talking about today.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: We're talking about book three of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Dungeon Anarchy. And if you're like me who has
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the Ace Publisher hardcover editions, you got something that looks
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: like this. Okay, Now, these editions personally are my favorite.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love them, you know. It's it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so satisfying having a nice hardcover book, you know. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: also if you take off the cover, if you take
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: off the cover, each of the Ace of the Ace
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: editions have like a neat little logo on them. So
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: this one has the Anarchy logo. Literally, like they all
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have something different, and they're all like either pretty cool
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: or they're funny, like Book seven's hardcover book had literally
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: says fuck the cheese sticks.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Period. I don't know what that is yet, what that
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: means yet, but period.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's relevant to the story. For the seventh book, it's funny.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I love it. And just like with every Ace Publisher
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: hardcover edition that we've reviewed, this book also comes with
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: an extra little you haven't cut off my struggle. Each
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of these hardcover editions also come with a little extra
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: at the end of the book called Backstage at the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Pineapple Cabaret.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I can read those because Johnny has all the books.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yep, so sorry, I was I was on the wrong page,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: so everybody. So each of the hardcover editions come with
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a little extra, short special called Backstage as a Pineapple Cabaret,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and each one is each one is with a end.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's from the perspective of an NPC that we do
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: encounter sometime in the book that we're reading. So like,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: for example, in the very first book, it's from the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: perspective of one of the Goblin shaman priestesses that Carl
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and Donut encounter. Her name is Rory. And this one
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: there is a character named Growler Gary. Growler Gar the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: NBC Growler Gary is It's kind of depressing, but he's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: also kind of funny. It's depressing in that like it's funny,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: but you kind of feel like a piece of shit
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: because you're that you're laughing about it, but you still
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: laugh anyway. Kind of deal.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But we'll do a whole episode on all those extras
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: in the seven or eight books by the time we
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: finish out this thing. But I'm happy I can actually
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: read it now because I have all that. I have
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: access to all the hardbacks now.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, his his boyfriend got into reading them and after
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: reading the first one, he immediately bought the rest and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: pretty much what I did, because as soon as I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: read the first one, I was like, I gotta keep
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: reading these this.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: We're supplying so much money to to Ace, to the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: writer of Dungeon of the Dune Color Carl, because we're
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: buying the e book. We are buying all the e
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: books when they come out where he is, I'm getting
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the audiobooks, and now we have the physical copies. And
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: then and of course when they released the comic book,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna I'm gonna get the comic book or the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: websoone when they release it physically.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Which they're also gonna They're also coming up with an RPG, like.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: RPG I want it, oh hell yeah, because I want
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I want to make an unhinged, a I just worse.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Hyeah m hmm. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be It's gonna
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: be there in this one. Oh yeah, it's it. He
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: decides to go a little.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Unhandession with Carl's feet. Oh yeah, this is the one that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's been pretty much going on since
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the first book. But see, here's the thing. As as
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you go deeper into the dungeon, the AI begins to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: go begins to experience a phenomenon that the Aliens and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the Syndicate referred to as going primal. That's when the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: AI becomes fully self aware, becomes more unhinged and more uncontrollable.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And the deeper into the dungeon that you get, the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: worst it gets. The worst the more that the AI
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like refuses to like comply with the syndicates orders, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the more it takes control. And there comes a point
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: where they completely lose control of the dungeon and it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: all like it's all planned for, like they expect this
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to happen. And by the end of the dungeon, when
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: all the crawlers are either dead or have taken have
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: taken like sponsorships to leave the dungeon early like by
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that point it's like, Okay, well we got what we
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: wanted out of it. You can the dungeon is yours
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to do whatever you want with now. But the thing
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is one thing that the Syndicate notes in this series,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: just a little bit of a spoiler, is that the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is that the AI is beginning to go primal a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: lot sooner. Yeah, it goes primal pretty early. In fact,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: by the time we get to book six, it's already
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gone primal, like book five is pretty much is like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the tipping point of when it's like fully primal, fully primal,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and the Syndicate has already like lost complete control. Cinecate
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like like mainly the Boring Company, which is the corporation
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that is running this season of Dungeon Crawler Carl, they
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: cut a lot of corners just to get this season
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: running a lot sooner than than was expected. Because the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Boring Company, and by sension, the their race in general,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: their whole like government. This is for the the coopit
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Quatin, that's what they're called. I can keep wanting
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to call the mud skippers, but mud skippers is a slur.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It's a slur, So I keep up. I mean honestly,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean fuck them because they're pretty they're
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: they're eugenicists, like their government is run by like a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: whole like Nazi style eugenicis uh party like eugenics party,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and uh pretty much, and there's very few of them
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that are like not e someone's calling me?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Who who's calling you? Gross?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: H yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: You cross.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Anyway that distrusts me anyway, So pretty much the only
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: one of the quats in that is not uh, like
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you know, very like who's not very who's not full
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of like fully conforming to the to the quants in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: like eugenics believes of self superiority and like special supremacy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Is Zev who is Carl and Donuts manager period and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and and and representative of the quats in for the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: for the quats in uh. Now. The thing is is
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that they were their whole company and their whole system
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: was going to go bankrupt and they and most of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: their debts were to another corporation called the Vaulta Corporation.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And the Vaulta are The Vaulta are a race of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: these like worm like parasites that take on living hosts
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and uh were we mentioned them briefly in the last
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: book because during a because during a interview between Carl
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and several other crawlers and others like syndicate, like important
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: people from the Syndicate, the Skull Empire tried to assassinate
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Karl by blowing up the trailer he was in. The
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: thing is, for security reasons, Carl and Donuts trailer was
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: swap with another one of the other alien representatives at NAGA,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: who's like a supposed to be like a pretty famous
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: singer kind of think like Lady Gaga, but if Lady
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Gaga was like a snake alien, yeah, kind of creature. Uh.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: They ended up killing her instead. And the thing is
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is that she technically was already dead, but when she
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was still alive quote unquote, she made a deal with
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the Valsay Corporation that upon her death, her body would
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: be given over to them and they would implant one
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of their symbiotes into her body, who would then resurrect
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it and she would still she would be alive, but
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: now completely under the control of the VAULTSA which apparently
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it's like it's a Apparently it's very common. A lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of people take these kind of deals. The Vaaltay pay
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, so and so as soon as
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you died, then they got They basically can use your
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: body as a host for one of their for one
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of their worms. But uh so, the Valty Corporation is
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: was literally on the verge of completely repossessing the entire system,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: borant system, the quats In like taking over everything. And
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the quats In started the Dungeon crawl early as a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: bit of as like a huge cash grap so that
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: way they can like bring in all the money as
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: well as like pay off as much of their debts
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: as possible. But the thing is is that they were
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: only able to stall the Vaulta for They're only able
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to stall the Volta for so long and throughout the books,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I believe up until like I believe like this is
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: by the end of this book, I will say the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Vaultay do take over completely because the quats In, Like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the thing is, the quats In are we're also on
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the verge of civil war because the the ruling party,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: who are the Eugenics they were not very popular. They're controlling,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: they they take they take control of everything. Well actually no,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, rewind. By the end of this like the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Eugenics Party is like taking control of everything they're wanting.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Like they're very strict on how the Boran Comfort Corporation
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: is running the show. The thing is they cut corners,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: all right. They used an AI that was basically a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: copy of another AI from a previous show. So this
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: is a secondhand AI. It's not a it's not a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: like fresh new Primal AI. That was that that they
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: got straight from the Mancids, because the Mantids are the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: ones who literally mine for the AIS, like the ais
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: were already like pre built by the primal by this
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: primal alien race, and thing is there. Those people disappeared
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and all that's left is their technology and the Mandids
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: found on one of the planets they control like literally
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: like like literally the hidden beneath the planet is a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: gold mine of these AI and they're literally mining for it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: So as they mine for it, they pull up a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: new they find, they discover a new AI, and they
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: implant that AI in the world engines that are in
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the that are in like certain planets across the system,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and these are the planets that are that are typically
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: chosen for the dungeon crawls. So Earth was one of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: those planets. There was like some sort of world engine,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like a seed in our planet. They implanted the AI
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: in there, created the dungeon whe like pretty much wipe
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the surface clean of all like you know, human structures,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and any survivors that weren't inside gets sent down into
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the dungeon.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So there's a.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Lot of like politics, it's politicking, Okay, there's a lot
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of backstory for like the like the origin of the dungeons,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the technology that is used to make the dungeon, the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: AI itself. The AI is not created by the Syndicate
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but by the primal race. So now, like there's gonna
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: be a lot going There's gonna be a lot going on,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: all right. So for the book, the word that we're
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: reading right now, where I gotta keep saying, I'm to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: keep saying it to myself because we're on book three
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and we're on level book three of the I'm like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm having a stroke because I'm losing like
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I can't talk right now, So we are to keep
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: reminding myself. This is book three, Floor four, Floor four,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and this this is the second of the themed floors.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The first two floors were the tutorial floors. The third
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: floor was the first of the theme floor. So the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: first one was like the Circus, like it's kind of
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like the it was like the over City. This is
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: where like you know, the city that's above Loroccos and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: hunting Grounds, and this book is now it's not related
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to the Scolopendra arc, which is what the over City,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Hunting Grounds and Moroccos is related to. So this is
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: more of like an in between themed level. So it's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: called the Iron Tangle. It takes place. The level itself
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: is a complex really like weirdly stight subway system, so
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it's all like there their five the crawlers all appear
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: once they come down into the fourth floor. They appear
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on like subway platforms and and of course the platforms themselves,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: depending on where they are in the Iron Tangle, will
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: either have like a bunch of like grizzly monsters or
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: maybe considered safe zones. They may find like entrances to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: like the Desperado Club, the Club Valor. There's there's two
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: main clubs that the crawlers have access to, and depending
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on like the kind of things that you do in
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the that you do throughout the crawl determines if you're
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: going to get invited to one or the other if
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you're a cleric, or you play like a paladin or
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: do like stuff like very silf righteous set's very like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: deity related. The Club Valor is where you would get
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: invited to. Now the Desperado Club is pretty much for
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the rest. If you do like if you do like
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: shape shit or like something that's like more anarch like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: uh like more anarchists like, then you're definitely gonna get
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: really uh invited to the Desperado Club. And this book
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: is when I think it was in this book that
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they first enter the the Desperado Club because in the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: third book they heard about it, they actually got their
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: invitations to it, but they never actually find it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think this is the first book that
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: they actually go inside of it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But so the story like, now are our main
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: crawlers Carl of course Donut and they're joined by Donuts,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Pet Mango as well as their new as their new
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: member Katia.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Now, Katia was introduced in the third book. She was
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: a timid crawler. She was very little leveled and what
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this is book three, So that was book watchers. Y'all
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: have a great day. Catch us next week. We're gonna
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: be doing something else, so I'm just gonna check out.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: She was this book.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Kancia was introduced in book two on level three. She
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: was very She was a very timid and low level crawler.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: She was actually a part of another party led by
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: this really badass lady uh named Hecla. Her. Her party
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: calls themselves the Brunehild's Daughters, and like they're a really
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: badass group of like Amazonian crawlers, and we're gonna get
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We're actually gonna see that group in this book. And
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of tea, there's drama.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: The girls are fighting, uh.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Literally girls girls a fighting, okay, and for once, it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: not over a man.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: No, it's over a woman.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: M cat, it's over a cat, a cat, but girls
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: are fighting and it's then they're fighting over a cat. Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So so throughout level three and this and level four,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Carl actually helps Katia to Carl and Mordecai help Katia
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: by helping her like grind and level up to catch
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: up to their levels because she because when they first
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: encountered her on level three, they realized that already, like
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Carl and Donut, we're close to like we're almost in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the level twenties, and she was still like like level
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: like twelve, so she was still very low leveled for
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: her for that floor. And also she kind of got
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: screwed over by her tutorial by her tutorial guide because
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: she had a different tatorial guide than what Carl and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Donut had, uh, and he convinced her toial guide, convinced
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: her that taking on the uh doppelganger. Uh wait, you
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: know what does she have is the it is the dope.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: There's yeah, she's a doppelganger because there's there's several different
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: shape shifting classes. There's the actual like changelings, so they
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: can they can like change they're like mystique. They can
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: change into any like uh, they can change into any
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: character anything they've touched. Right, Well, Doppelgangers they're like they
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: can shape shift, but it's more of like they're like
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: they're like living clay. They literally have to like consciously
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: mold themselves into the shape they want, and they can
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: also like take on extra mass into their bodies. So
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it's a little gimmick that Katia learns how to use
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and Carl figures out like a cool little cheat for
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: her to use. So that way she can add mass
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to herself to like buff her stats make her her
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: armor class higher and like she has a ridiculously high
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: constitution already, so she's pretty tough. But the thing is
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is that she doesn't really know how to use her class.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Mordecai helps her learn how to use her class and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: actually helps her, helps teach her how to like shape
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: her shuh shape her body to be much more closer
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to what she originally used to look like, because when
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Karl and Dunna at first met her, she looked very
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like misshapen like, she still looked like a person, but
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it looked like a person that was like molded by
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a child, like a child. So Mordecai helps her, Carl
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: helps her, and like, throughout this book we really see
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: her growing to herself. We really see her become more confident.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Carl builds her like a special backpack where she can
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: store extra mass, like like metal armor plates things like that.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: So when she like puts on the backpack and lifts
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it up her body like takes it into herself and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: she's able to like it increases her mass, makes her bigger,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and also like the metal parts because they come part
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: of her body. They really increase her armor like her
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: armor class, and they use her doppelganger abilities much more
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: effectively in this level, and she also gets a lot
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of really cool perks as she starts to level up.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Now since they're on floor Since they're now on level four,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: they have ten days to find to find a stairwell,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and once they find the stairwells, they need to work
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: on surviving. Now there's a there's a bit of a
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: gimmick for finding the stairwells because as they go throughout
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the Iron Tangle, they realize that, yeah, there's different like
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: there's different lines for the different subway tracks, and there's
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: different platforms. But they realize that this that they're actually
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: layers upon layers of this Iron Tangle. So even though
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Carl and Donut had had made sure to like meet
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: as many crawlers as possible from the third level, they
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and because you can only message crawlers that you've met
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and like this bumped you know, physical contact with to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: like connect with UH, so they made sure to like
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: message like to like fist bump as many crawlers as possible,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and if every time they encounter new crawlers, they do
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the same thing because they're trying to build this communication network.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And as they're as they're speaking to the different crawlers,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they're noticing that, like, despite the fact that they're multiple
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: crawlers saying they've been there at or they've been on
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: certain platforms at the same time, they don't encounter each other.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So it starts to hint that Carl starts to realize
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that the Iron Tangle may have multiple different levels or
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: layers so the lab making the labyrinth more complex. So
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: so as they are exploring, so as they're exploring the uh,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the Iron Tangle, they're trying to create a more detailed
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: map of it. They encounter more like they start encountering
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: more like new monsters, like they encounter the they encounter
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the conductors of the subway trains, because the subway trains,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: for the most part, look like actual subway trains, but
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: some of the subway trains, some of the subway lines
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: have like unique themes to them, like one is like
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the Nightmare Express. One is called literally called the Nightmare Express,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and that one ends up locking them into a quest
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: when they get on it. They encounter the conductors of
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the of these trains who are they're called man tars.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: They're literally it's like a person on a person. Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that makes sense, centaur shapes, where like they have the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: body of the horse and where the head of the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: horse is supposed to be the human torso, like the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: upper torso of a human is well, imagine the entire
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: body of a normal human right like legs, arms, torso
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: where the shoulders meet the neck is just another like
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: upper torso extending upward to like the rest of the body.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of weird.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: It's kind of weird looking, kind of like human cinnipedeish. Yeah,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: not the movie, but like torso torso other arms. It's
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: very yeah, creepy ling that doesn't go there, yep.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: And the thing is that they're noticing as they are,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: as they're navigating through the iron Tangle, they are encountering
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: more and more mobs, like the mob seems to be
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: like the sheer frequency of these mobs appearing is increasing,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and they learn it's because of these special kind of
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: mob generators. So like the mob, they start as the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like as the days go by, as they are grinding
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and looking for the stairways, they the mob. The amount,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the just sheer volume of mobs are increasing, and they
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: realize that there are certain areas within the iron tangle,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: like kind of like brooms, right, like you know, like
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: employee only entrances, things like that, that's where the mobs
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: are coming from. And they find like the generators that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the mobs are being produced from, and they learn quickly
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that if they destroy them, then they can stem the
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: flow of mobs that are appearing. So they start they
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: start spreading the words to other crawlers, telling them to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: like telling them exactly how to find these generators and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: try to kill them as possible. They have their very
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: first encounter with a specific type of mob called a.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Crack Hearen, not the crack Haaren.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, the crack hearn. Yeah, so the crack Hearen is
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: like it's kind of like a secret floor kind of deal.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Uh So, crack haaren like are based off of the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: crack Heron is based off of a real galactic species
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: called the apocacy, the apothecary. The apothecary so like they yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the apothecary is responsible for like distributing, for producing and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: distributing the pharmaceuticals throughout the syndicate, right, And the thing
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is they are run by the species that the Kirkaren
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: is based off of, So they are a hive mind race,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of conspiracy and a lot of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: like superstition behind them because everyone, like the greater part
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of the Syneicate believes that the kirk Karen is that
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the apothecacar, the apothecary is trying to like assimilate everything
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: into their hive mind. So they're like they rely on
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: their drugs, but they're hesitant to like let them fully
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: integrate with their society or like include them in society
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Ah's And the thing is, it's that part of the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the thing is that the Krekaren has been just the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: kirkerin that they encounter are like they're multiple like different
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Circarens throughout the Iron Tangle and their boss mobs, and
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they are What they're actually doing is they're distributing a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: drug to the other, to the other mobs. And the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: thing is, as Carl and the rest of the crawlers
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: are killing the mob district as they're destroying the mob generators,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and they're also killing the Crockerns. The Crockaerns are no
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: longer around to distribute the drugs to the other mobs. So,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: because the mobs are not getting their daily dosage of
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: crack of crack pretty much dungeon crack, Uh, they begin
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to mutate into they go through withdrawal, and this withdrawal
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: causes mutations that make them more deadly and virtually unkillable.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: So now they realize that they're racing against the clock
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: because the more if they the more that if they
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: don't destroy as many of these generators as possible to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: stem the flow of the mobs coming through, Uh, they're
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: gonna have more and more like just cracked out mobs
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that are going through withdrawal.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be find they are, they're.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Gonna be fucked. Uh Now as they deal so they're
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of this stuff. They are. As
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: they're dealing with a lot of this stuff, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: they're leveling up, they're destroying, they're killing monsters, They're they're
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: mapping the iron tangle as much as possible. And as
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: they're going through, the monsters are getting steadily worse because
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of the withdrawal, And they're also starting to encounter other
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: mobs that that are now starting to like appear in
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: lieu of like uh, the other boss mobs that they killed,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like the kra Karens and the Pukahs and m h,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: it's a mess.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: It's a hot ass mess chaos.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At one point, Carl and Donnut actually do complete
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the Nightmare Express mission quests and they managed they pretty
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: much destroyed the train, but they actually take over. They
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: actually take over the train because it turns out they
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: find a way they find like the back rooms, like
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the tracks, that they find the part of the tracks
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that allows them to like change the course like you know,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to where they can go like to like the train
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: yards and where they can they can alter the direction
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: of where the trains are going, and like what lines
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: of trains are going on, and they find like a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: whole series of like back lines that uh, that are
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: almost completely free of mobs. And by doing these kind
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of like using all these back roots, they eventually do
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: find the stairways. So and and so that's when Carl
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and Donut start telling everyone, Okay, this is how you
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: can find the stairways. You have to go, like you
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: have to get on one of the trains. You have
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to all like or follow one of the tracks, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you have to get to the specific train yard, and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: once you get there, there's a specific line that'll take
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you to an area where you can find a bunch
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: of stairways. And once because Carl and have found the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: stairways pretty early on in the pretty early on, they
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of the the remaining time grinding tracking
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: down other crawlers and doing their best to help them
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: get to the get to the stairways, or at least
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: navigate to where they can find the stairways. At one point,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: let me see, let me see, let me see, they earned,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they earned a bunch of achievements, and they actually and
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: they get a bunch of really cool loop boxes. Carl
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: gets one specific loop box that you know, one specific
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: loop box that basically gives him access to a wheel,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a wheel of fortune kind of like kind of like
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: pick your prize kind of achievement. So this summons up
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a a former crawler NPC, and this former crawler like
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: gives him like an access to a bunch of different options,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Like what's that game show where like I think it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: like the price is right.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Or real fortune like actually fortune.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wheel fortune, Like price is right, and like Carl
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was given a choice a bunch of choices to choose from.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: He can only choose one specific prize. Yeah, and there
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of them. Some of them were pretty useless,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: others were like kind of cool, and like everyone is like, oh, yeah,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I picked that one, picked that one, or or like,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: don't pick that one. But there's a little bit of
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a hiccup as soon as the loopbox summons that NPC
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: because it turns out this specific NPC was a former
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: sky Fowl and this sky file was actually a member
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: of Mordecai's party from Yeah, so there was kind of
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: rewind a bit Mordecai what his original race was a
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Skyfoul and many thousands of years ago he was a
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: dungeon crawler before he took a took a deal, left
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and uh and left the dungeon early. But in return
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: he has to serve in future Dungeon Crawler future dungeon
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: crawls as a tutorial guide. And I believe this is
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: actually his last This floor right now, is this crawl
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: is his last crawl before he's free?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And when he was when he was originally a crawler,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: he chose a he chose as an alchemist class, so
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: he's really good at making potions and his rate. The
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: race he chose was changeling so he could shape shift.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And now in the Dungeon Crawl as a tutorial guide,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: every floor that he go, every floor that he appears on,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have control over his changing abilities anymore. Instead,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: now he like every floor, his form is chosen by
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: him at random. So like first floor when they first
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: met him, he was a rat. The second floor, I
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: think he was in.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Uh I forgot the third floor, third floor, second floor,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't he a toad?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: No? No, I think like the first two floors he
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: was just still a rat, but then the third floor he
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: was a incubus in this floor. For fourth floor, he's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a toad.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, four floor, Yeah, yeah, you're right this one.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: But it was funny beca. It's kind of funny because
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: like every time he changes, it's like he goes from
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: looking really weird and in some cases he looks really cute.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I think in one floor he turns into like a
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Gerbil kind of looking creature. Ye, all big, all guyede
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: and cute, and but this one he's a toad. And uh,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the thing is is that the price is right. Reel
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of Fortune Crawler and former Crawler NPC guy.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: He was one.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: He was originally on Morecais party. And the thing is
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: is that something happens. We don't actually learn what happens
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: until I think like book like book five or six
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: between Mordecai and his former party. But uh, needless to say,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Mordecai hates this guy and as soon as he sees
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: him appear on site, immediately leaps to and tries to
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: attack him. He manages to get like one good hidden
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: before the Ai stops him and teleports him into a
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: bit of a time out. So now, uh so, now
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Donna and Carl are without their manager. There are gonna
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: go without Mordecai for the next like three days. It's
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: like two or three days?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, was I though almost like seven?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Was it seven days? So basically he misses the whole
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I'm.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure it was like more than a couple of days.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: It was like, let's see how like seven days? Hear that?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Or a lot happened in those three in those three days,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: which is possible a lot.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: It was like it was like.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: It was like three or four days or probably five.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta look at it. Hold on, actually.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Win doubt, put out the pull out the source material.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: This. You know, it's something I noticed. Books nowadays don't
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: have like a chapter's list anymore.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: They don't. Yeah, they really don't. It's so weird that
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: they don't.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see, that's broad cling Wood, it's brown nightmakspros Trman
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: felt early because it was somewhere like halfway through the books.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was. Yeah, it was somewhere like before or
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: around halfway, because he was gone for a good chunk
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: of it. Let me see.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think I'm gonna little too far oop Yeah,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: definitely too far. Yeah. Okay, so he got the car.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: So the the loop box he got was was was
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: from his first sponsored box, and that's when he got
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the price is right kind of pick yep here, Okay,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: so it's actually a lot earlier than I thought. Okay,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: cold on. Yeah, they're in the twenties already. They're probably
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: their personal space. Mordecai is still live around. You wanna
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: fucking break me pack your kid? Yeah. By this point,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Carl has has to regularly use a pettic your kid
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: to apply it buff to his feet because.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the you know, because the Ai has a
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: flip fetish.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Yep man she station see. Okay, they're still talking to more. Okay,

  Speaker 1: your box up. Okay. He opened it up. For a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: long moment, nothing happened. Lights to the room, dim music
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: started playing. It was It was cheesy nineteen seventy style
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: game show music with trumpets and keyboards and percussion music
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and a disco beat color light flash. Mango stop howling
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and jumping and rushed to donut side. We all stood
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: back from the kitchen counter, all except Mortercai, whose frog
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: face had suddenly taken on a stony expression. Carl, what's happening,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: donut ass, Probably something stupid, I said. The announcer's voice
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: was even cheesier than normal. Ladies and gentlemen, It's time

• 47:39
  Speaker 1: so Chocolate the Bard is a winged wolfhead wolf headed
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: man and brown and orange checkered leisure suit. And let
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: me see he had a platinum box. He's all he's going,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: He's going through the whole like you know, you received
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a preinum a platinum fan box. Oh boy, that's a
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: good one. You set home, decided to give Carl a
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: chance to pick his own prize, and you know what
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: that and you know what that means. We have nine
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: excellent prizes on the Carol Sell and oh shit, Mordecai. Yeah,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: and Mordechai is like, you motherfucker.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: On site, on fucking site.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: He attacked and he attacks him. His tongue lashes out
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: like like uses his tongue like a wit and he
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: uses to grab it like a metal chair. In there, uh,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: in their new safe because they in this book, Carl
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and Donut buys their own like safe room. So they
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: now have their own like house kind of like apartment.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: And it's also where Mordecai will like we'll be waiting
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: for them whenever they come into like whenever they come
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: into the safe room, and uh so Morecai like on
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: site a tax Choco. But the thing is that when
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: he throws the chair at Chaco, the since they're in
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the safe room, the safe room immediately like it has
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: safety protocols, so it stops, like and it'll stop any
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: attacks and it'll like freeze you in place for a
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: few seconds. Yeah, and if you continue to, like, if
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you make any more violations, it'll randomly teleport you out
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: of the safe room. And usually it'll teleport you into
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a very bad spot. So like in the middle of
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a bunch of mobs, let me see, mom, go ground,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: let me see, Mordecai's frozen in place, his tongue half retracted.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: He had the word knotty blazing over his head. Let
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: me see here. Yeah, mortar pite disappeared. Yeah, he out.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: He's gone for seven days.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Yep, seven days for seven days.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it happens pretty early on in the book.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: So he so he's gone pretty much the entire time,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: because the Iron Tangle only lasts for ten days. I
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: think they were just in like their first or second day,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: So he's gone for all of it, only comes back
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: near the ends. And Carl and Donut so like after that,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: like Carl is like, well.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Shit, well fuck, and.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Well they can make do without him. It's just that
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: like it's one of those things. It's more of like
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: bad timing. Yeah, but they're gonna they're just gonna have
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: to make do without him. Uh So after that and
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: after Chaco like composes himself, he gives Carl the list
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: of options to choose from. He has nine different options,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: like full things to choose from. Should I should have
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: stayed on that section?
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Cool? So let's see he gets prize number one, so
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: his first option is two potion mm hmm, and let
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: me see prize two. He gets five hundred bombs. At
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: this point, Carlo has become as embraced his his compensated
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: anarchists class. Mainly he uses traps and demolitions, so he
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: used He originally started out with Goblin grade explosives, which
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: were really unstable.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I would I would say so, but then.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: He upgraded to Hobgoblin grade explosive and Hobgoblin grade explosives
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: are more stable and more explosive. They are, so it's
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: five hundred bombs. So pyramid of hobb Lobbers as he
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: calls them. So they're basically just grenades. Third prize is
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: books Earth books too, like two thousand earth books ranging
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: from fifty Shades of Gray to what appeared to be
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: a Canadian phone book. And his fourth prize is a
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five Harley Davidson FLH Panhead Electric Glide. It's
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: a red and beige motorcycle. And Carl is a little
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: pissed that one appeared because it's the exact same model
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and brand that his father used to have, and he
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: does not have fond memories of his father, like.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Every like like myself, daddy issues.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say he could be a gay man
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: with the amount of daddy issues he has.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, his dad was a piece of shit. You
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: soon find out, all.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Right, and it's fit. The fifth prize is called it
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: was just one book and small. It was just a
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: small leathern bound book that on the label the title
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: of the book says best Laid Traps laid as an
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: l A L A I D Best Laid Traps doughnuts
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: like is that porn?
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: My question too?
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Another book, and this one was similar to the last,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: but the book was much now pay attention, pay attention.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: This This one was similar to the last, but the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: book was much thicker, about the size of a large dictionary.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: It did not have a title on the cover, but
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: it did have a symbol. It was the familiar A
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: in a circle signifying anarchy. The book glinted momentarily as
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: the carousel turned away. I couldn't tell if that was
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: the glow of magic or the glint of light off
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the gold leaf pages. Prize seven enchanted chaps.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: It's over here. Karl pick those, Choco. He picks those,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: and Chaco thankfully is like, sorry, but Karl must make
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the decision. And the aid and cross and cross less
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: chaps were modeled by spinning Mannekin. They were made of
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: a dark leather that glowed with a greenish aura. Carl
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: immediately says, no, wait, a single potion. So this potion
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: is a special kind of potion that instantly raises a
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: what is a stat buff potion? It instantly raises uh,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: like instantly, I think it's like one or two of
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: your stats. It instantly buffs them up. Yeah, don't had
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: it and it really helped her. The ninth prize is
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: a Craftsman three thousand Series sixty three rolling inch tool chest.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Now At this point, Carl has started making use of
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: like the craft's table and his news in his new
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: safe room. So since he is a compensated anarchist, he
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: mainly works in demolition and trap making, so that's what
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: he uses his craft tables for. So but this thing
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: is is the craft. This thing looks the craft table
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: like it's that pulls out on the carousel. It looks
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: like a piece of shit and it's not very interesting.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: And his first but then again, his first reaction is
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: to pick the toolbox. But something let's see hold on, like,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: his first instinct is to select the toolbox though because
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: he thought it could be useful. But looking at at
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the toolbox, he realizes it's exact one that he had
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: ah because it was his own personal toolbox he used
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: to use. But the thing is, he was looking at it,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: he could tell that there, he could tell that this
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: thing was empty. So it didn't have any useful tools
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: in it. It's just a a toolbox. That's all it is.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: That's all it is. It wouldn't give him any kind
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: of like exture use. Let's see, you know, he's looking
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: at all that, he looks through all nine of his choices,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: but his his gaze is brought back to that one uh,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: to that one book, the book with a hun as
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: it described a dictionary style book with not with no title,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: but it did have an anarchy symbol on it.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming the book itself was read with the gold
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: leaf anarchy, like a gold or silver leaf anarchy book,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: kind of like what the Ace hardcover looks like, Yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: but in more of like a bigger dictionary style. So
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm assuming. It looks like it doesn't have
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: like more of a description for it. But Carl can't
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: help but notice that when it comes back around when
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: he's like going, when he caught when he when he
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: has a with the carousel, uh like turn back around,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: the light keeps glint glinting off of this strange anarchy
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: book with the anarchy with the anarchy symbol on it. Yeah,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and he realizes that it might be something that way
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the lightest glinting. It might be something within the system
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: that's trying to that's trying to let him know that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: this is important because he because he's seen it before.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: So he decides, uh, he's gonna pick prize number six
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: a book, and this is what and this is what
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: he is chosen book the Dungeon, anarchist cookbook by anonymous
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: This is a unique item chicken and goblin recipes galore,
• 58:11

• 58:18
  Speaker 1: of the zany and madcap misadventures they fully experience gathering

  Speaker 2: I love the description of the book. It's so good,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: it's so funny.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. When Carl takes the book, yeah,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: let's see here. So he takes the books, he takes
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the book realizes he may have chosen poorly. In fact,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: his first thought is yep, you've done fun. And he
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: was about to talk the book into his inventory, but
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: instead he flips to the first page and it read welcome.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: And when he starts reading it, he feels the haptic
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: buzz from his escape plan skill activate and additional words
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: appear on the mostly blank page, and this is what
• 59:22

• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: from the twenty second edition, and it says the safe
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: room restrooms are a good place to read. Just don't
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: take too long or you'll get pinched. The rats say
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: there's a syndicate rule that they can't watch you in
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the bathroom stalls. This is just for the actual toilets,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: not the rest of the bathrooms to know if it's true.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Those Naga bastards are suspicious. Are a suspicious lot, and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: I fear I may be soon discovered. So, so what
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: this means The Dungeon Crawler Anarchists Cookbook. It is a
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: special book that allows specific crawler within each season starting
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: from season fifteen, to add and record their own unique style,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: recipes and pretty much any tips and tricks that they
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: had for causing as much chaos and anarchy as possible. Yeah,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: so from so this is the twenty fourth edition, So
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: there are about this is the nine. So this is
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: the ninth. Wait, hold on, I am not mathing right,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: So this is about like the fifteenth. This is the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is, twenty fourth edition. So there have
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: been so people I did not go to school for math.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Don't judge me, math hurts.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: You went to school for model for three D modeling
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: that deals with math and dimensions. My dude, it's visual.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's all completely visual. Doesn't involve adding and subtracting.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: It's literally going off you as you feel. It's different.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's shut different. I didn't go to math either way,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: but Carl.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, including Carl, there have been twenty there's twenty four
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Dungeon crawlers that have had this book. Now, the Dungeon Crawler,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the Anarchist Cookbook would take on different forms forms throughout
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: the different seasons. First one was a sketch book. One
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: person had a deck of tarot cards, and of course,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: now in Carl's case, it's a cookbook.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: And I think one person had like a scroll or
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: something too, when the past one's like a fold out scroll.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Yep. So this is literally a dungeon cheat sheet that.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: The dungeon made for its own ships and giggles.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, the Dungeon mad So, as far as we know,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: the only, the only, the only, the AI Excuse me,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: my god, I must be having a stroke or something,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: because I just can't fucking talk. I should do what
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Santagato does and get like a telephone like hand
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: telephone behind me, and every time I just start like
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: tripping over myself in stutter and just grab and be like.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, this is normal.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Unfortunately, yeah, I love you're paying enough
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: You don't get paid at all.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: So the Anarchist Cookbook, like I have to say, it,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: becomes a very important part of Carl's of this entire crawl.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Actually, if they ever side note, they ever actually make
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: a product where he goes in and writes each page
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: and makes a whole book where the Anarchist Cookbook like
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: an actual book book of it. I'm going to buy
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: that ship so goddamn quick, I want it.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: It would probably it would work better if it was
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: like an e book, so he could probably like add
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: like those little hidden side notes from the crawlers.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be that would be good.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: The thing is is that like these were all like
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: they're hidden notes within the cookbook from all these past
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: crawlers who have had it. All of them have like
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: unique interesting tips and tricks of like causing as much
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: chaos as possible. Carl learns like different ways to set
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: like new traps, Like he learns at one point that
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: he can make stronger, like he can make like a
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: special kind of like gas trap, like a like a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: gas grenade by dipping the hoblobber in a potionent like
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: a healing potion, like soaking like his like specific smoke
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: curtain grenades in like potion and like healing potions, and
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: when he throws it, it creates it doesn't create like
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: a healing curtain, but it actually causes damage to mobs. Yeah,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: so there are a bunch of other tricks that he learns,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: different traps, and it's not just traps and other ways
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: of causing anarchy ensuing anarchy amongst the syndicate, but it
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: also has tips on like different NPCs that previous crawlers
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: have encountered. And in some cases, the dungeon crawl may actually,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: like the theme of the of the of the crawl
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: may actually be similar to previous themes. So like, yeah,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: they're different floors, but they may, but for the most part,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: they all have like the same different floors. So like
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: floor three, floor six, floor nine, twelve, those are all
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: the same floor no matter what, No matter what season
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: of the crawl, they're on those four floors. And I
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: think like all the way up to floor eighteen as well,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: those are all the same floors, so those don't change,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the over city, the hunting grounds, the faction wars,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: the Ascendancy, the Scolopendra arc, all of those are the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: same right on sin these twelve plus three fifteen, so yeah,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: that uh, there's fifty. The fifteen floor is supposed to
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: be like uh, like a hellish one, like this fiendish
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: descent or something. So like the ascendency is when they
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: are on the floor where all the gods are, and
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: then the fifteen floors where all the demons was like
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: the demon floors, and then the eighteen floor Scolopendra, this
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: centipede the like the ultimate boss, this centipede creature that
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: destroyed like like the it destroyed like the like they
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: have like a whole backstory to it. But no matter what,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: all four those those four or five U those floors floors,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: as you can see, I'm already like.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: Failing old man needs to take a nap.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Shure, says the old man.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not over here having a stroke.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: No, but you are over over there wrapping yourself itself
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: up in her shawl like bagotmain.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I am thank you, thank you for noticing, thank you.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Anyway, thte you. So the cookbook itself comes in really handy,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: especially on those floors. I mean, he says he got
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: it on floor four. It's not gonna it's the main
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: use for it won't really come in handy until he
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: gets to the hunting grounds. So he still got He
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: still has another two floors to go before he gets there.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: But he starts coming up using all these recipes, come
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: up with these really cool tip like tricks, and he
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: starts he does what he does best best, and he
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: sews anarchy throughout the floors. And it doesn't just use
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: it to like get to get further through the dungeon.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: He also uses it to sow chaos within the syndicate itself,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: like some of the ship some of the actions he takes,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: like like unifying all the dungeon crawlers, getting them to
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: work together. That's one way that they're saying fuck you
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: to the syndicate, because.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: It nice.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: That the syndicate usually tries to like like kill and
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: separate the crawlers as much as possible.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: But what Carl is.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Doing is bringing them together. They're working together. And by
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: the time they get deeper and deeper to the h
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: into the dungeon. Like, not to spoil it for you guys,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: but by the time we get to uh, the ninth
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: floor for the Faction Wars, there are more dungeon crawlers
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: still alive by that point than in any other floor
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: in history. Like usually by that point there's only a
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: few thousand crawlers left, right, and the Faction Wars does
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: a really good job of like killing the rest of them, right,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Most crawls usually end by floor nine. Yeah, but like
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: not to give like spoiler, I'm not gonna spoil it
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: too much for you guys, but by the time they
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: get to the ninth floor, they're still oh, like they're
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: still close to forty thousand crawlers left. Not gonna get
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: exact numbers, but there's still like forty thousand crawlers left,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: which is more than any other dungeon crawlers before. Usually
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: by that point there's only about ten thousand crawlers left. Yeah,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: and there was almost what like twelve million that entered
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: the floor thirteen million that entered the dungeon.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, roundabout that.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so they're really picking him off. But
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: because of the shit that Carl does with the help
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: of the cookbook, like he really helps a lot of crawlers,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: all right. It helps him get out of really sticky situations.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: It helps him to like really stick it to the man,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: all right, which god that I really do sound old.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Don't worry at all. His his nurse will give him
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: his meds after I've done here, so this won't ever
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: happen again.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then she's going to have to drive over
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: to your house to give you yours.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: I actually forgot to take my antidepressants.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: There you go. I'll send her right.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Now yet fuck you, fuck you, but thank you for
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: reminding me. Note to self, take my man Okay, need
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: take my antidepressants. M So anyway, so what happens after
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: you find the book?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: So so I kind of got ahead of myself. He
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: gets the cookbook very early on in the He gets
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: very early on in the floor, and then of course
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: he goes to the rest of the floor, mapping as
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: much of it as possible, killing as many of the mobs.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: The mob generators also helping the other crawlers to navigate
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: their way to those back UH train lines so they
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: can find the entrances to the to the stairways. Now,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: in some places the stairways are completely blocked off by
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: huge like mobs, like like huge hordes of mobs, and
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: in some cases Carl has to fight his way to
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: UH to those crawlers and help them navigate to like
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: a safer area.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Now, because they've begun killing as many of the Krakaren
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: mob bosses and the mob generators as well, another wave
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: of mobs began to appear.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: Mimics.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: These mimics. The thing is, these mimics are bigger. They
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: don't just take the form of you know, like little chests, right,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: they take the forms of Like one mimic actually to
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: shape itself to look like an open like an open
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: subway tunnel. Album was a big and Carl somehow manages
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: to like teleport it into the train yard, and when
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: it teleports there, the mimic immediately like transforms itself into
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: one of the warehouse buildings. And when he realizes where
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: the where the mimic ended up, he had to go
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: fight his way to the mimic to try to figure
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: out a way to like either kill it or get
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: or like find a different way for the other crawlers
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: to get around it, because people are going to enter
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: that train yard, see the mimic as a building, not
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: think anything of it, and then the mimic will like
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: just gobble them up as they go by.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, as we get closer to the end of the story,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: they're like they're already like getting down to like the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: last few days of the of the crawl.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: They've mapped most of the as much of the Iron
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Tangle as possible, and they figured out a decent system
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: of helping other crawlers navigate to the to the stairways,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: and Carl and Donut finally encounter Hecla. Now Hecla has
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: a huge party of all female crawlers, right, Yeah, and
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: now they're working on a specific mission to try to
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: pick up as many crawlers on their train as possible
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: because they took control of the Nightmare Express and most
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: of the carts have been destroyed, but they're still at least, uh,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: they can still at least hold people. So they're getting
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: so they're going through the Iron Tangle picking up as
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: many crawlers as possible, and they actually pick up Hecla's group.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: And the thing is Katia Kandya herself. She'd used her
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: doppel gigability doppelganger abilities to transform herself into a She
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: transforms herself into like you know those iron like grills,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: those grates that trains will have put will have in
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: front of those old style trains would have on. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: they're they're like a bumper. They they're meant to help
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: play if a train encounter's debris on the tracks, They're
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: meant to like safely like like push them away. Yeah,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: like that so that way the train doesn't get derailed. Well,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: she transformed herself into that, and they basically used her
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: as a battering ram. So she used like her little
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: neat trick to absorb masts, and she absorbed a bunch
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: of like steel plates and armor. And when she transformed
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: herself into that, it made her stronger. So as they're
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: killing and as they're going down the track and they
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: kill and they run over any mobs like that, great
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: itself is like her her she's basically turned herself into
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: a battering ram.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, as they're working with Hecla, there
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: you start working with Hecla, they realized they quickly learned
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: that Hecla has uh ulterium ulterium motives, ulterior motives. Ye
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: are seeing that five times fast ulterior motives or two.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Motives because I know I've fuck it up. Yeah, I'm
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: not going to bury her stuff like that anyway. Heck
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Glo's a bitch.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they needed so Hekla. They the reason why they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: met up with her, of course, was too like uh
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: ing Terena with Katya because she was part of that
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: She was originally part of their party and they needed
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: her help with a specific kind of like rescue mission.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: But it turns.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: Out uh but see, as it turns out heck Glove
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 6: really didn't really want Katia back because the thing is,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: Kati was so low level, but the last time she
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: saw her, she wasn't really useful to Katya.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Kanty wasn't really useful to Hecla, and really what Katya
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: really wanted was donut.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Well Heckler really wanted was donut. Yeah right, yeah, Heckla,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: you said Katya.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh anyway, Katia, I'm terrible with names. I'm better. I
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: could just go over the rest of this episode is
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: just saying that bitch. Yeah really, so the thing is
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: is that Hecla like told them that they needed to
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: rescue one of her other party members, and that's why
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: they were using the Nightmare Express train with Katia as
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: a battering ram. Mainly it was it wasn't actually to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: rescue somebody, but it was one to try to get
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: rid of Katia and Carl as well, because the track
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: that they were going down was riddled with huge waves
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: of mobs right they were killing hundreds of them at
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: a time, and they were hoping that Carl and Katia
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: would die, leaving Donut free to join another party. And
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: they and Heckla wanted her to join their party. And
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: the thing is Hecla actually actually like manipulates, She actually
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: schemes with her party members to have one of them
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: like try to kill Carl and the uh in the
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: chaos from this uh from their plan. The thing is
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: it fails. Carl sees right through it, and uh, Donut
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: actually sees Hecla fire a crossbow bolts into Katia like
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: it didn't and it wasn't accidental like well like like
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Hecla was at the front of the train and she
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: was shooting her crossbow at the mobs. But Donut actually
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: sees Hecla deliberately aimed down at Katia and shoot her. Yeah,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: and Donut freaks out. She starts going ape shit. She
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: goes ballistic on Hecla and starts attacking her. Carl calms
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: her down. And the thing is, Katia can't really come
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: in to like defend herself just yet because there's still
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: she's still like on the front of the train fighting
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: the mobs, and uh. They managed to push Hekla out
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: and like and like Carl like de escalates everything and
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: hears him out and comes to like like it really
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: does come to light that yeah, all Heckla really wanted
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: was Donut, but now that Doughnuts saw what Hecla did,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: she wants nothing to do with Yeah, And Heckla is
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: like now like realizing like, oh, well, jig's up and
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: she's still cut. It seems like she's it seemed like
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: she really was. She was still going to try to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: take Donut if by force. And the thing is is
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: that they stopped the train. Katia comes up and there's
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: some words exchanged between the two of them because it
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: turns out Katia and Hecla knew each other from before.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 7: And Iceland I can yeah, back in Iceland. And the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 7: thing is is that Heckla had a very low opinion
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 7: of Katia because from Katya's personal life, it seemed like
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 7: even back like back before the crawl, she was like
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 7: in Heckla's opinion was pretty pathetic and useless, and there
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 7: was some really just really neat, uh like really mean
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 7: words said by Hekla and Katya. She got really pissed
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 7: off and she charged at Hekla. Thing is, though, like
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 7: Katya has just unlocked a new ability that literally turns
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 7: her into a into a battering ram.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: So she builds up enough speed and uh and she
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: triggers the ability she literally can like just bulldoze through anything.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: And well when she did that, she ends up bulldozing
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: right through Hecla, killing.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Her instantly smushing her making into much ice cream. I
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, you probably like you probably didn't
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: mean for to do that, but good thing you did.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The rest of the daughters of bru Hilled are
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: pretty pissed, and Carl and Dona and Katia had to
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: lock themselves in the conductor uh in the conduct in
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: the conductor train until they can like pull into a
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: safe into like a safe zone the thing is is
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: that a lot of the it seems like a lot
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: of the daughters of brin Hill were kind of like
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: already sussed out by Hecla because it's because several of
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: them felt like they were just being used, and uh,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: in a way, they were right because so after Katia
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: kills Hecla, she like she pulls Hecla's body into her
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: inventory and she gets everything that Hecla had collected, including
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: her crossbow. And as it turns out, the crossbow had
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: a specific trait to it that the crossbow itself becomes
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: stronger the more female crawlers you have in your party.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: Mm from a god?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, It's like something like crossbow of a God.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: And like the more female party members you have, the
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: stronger the crossbow is and the more buffs you get
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: from it. So that's so Kantia like, have they managed
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: to like de escalate the situation with the with the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Brunehill's daughters, And a lot of them are just like
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: they're they they're like, well, ship, you just killed our
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: party leader leader. What do we do now. It's like
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: most of them they just like say, all right, well
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't sign up for this ship exactly.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: So let's see here. So yeah, they so after that
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: and they get more, they get more of the after
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: they break they break off with Brunehill. The former members
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: of Brunehill's Daughters. Uh, the Crawlers start, Uh Carlin Donnut
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: start leading everybody to like start helping more people get
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: to the safe rooms and get to the stairways. It's possible. Uh,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: they get they take a break in the they take
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: a break in the safe room, and they're already like
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: they're they're already nearing the end of the of the
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: Iron Tangle. There's only like two or three days left.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Mordecai finally comes back, and they're pretty pissed with him,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: and he's they're pretty pissed and disappointed with him, and
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: uh they're trying to discuss what they're gonna do, and
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: they're catching up. They're catching Mordecai up with everything that's happens,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: and uh, I run. At that point, a huge wave
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: of blood and guts explodes out of Katia.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: So the reason why that happened is like right before
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: it happens, they all get in an announcement.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: That the.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: That they are changing the system the rules concerning their inventory.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: So crawlers can't just take large bodies of fluids uh
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: like uncontained fluids into their uh into their inventory, because
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: it it's causing problems and shit. So when that as
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: soon as that announcement comes in, all of this blood
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: and like liquid guts just explode out of Coxia because
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: let me tell you why. When she was hooked up
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: to the front of the Nightmare Express as a battering ram,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: her form was her battering ram form was getting caked
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: with so much blood and gore that it was making
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: it hard for her to see what she was doing.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: So she what she would do to keep it off
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: of her was she would immediately pull the blood and
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: guts and corpses of these of the mobs she killed
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: into her inventory. And since she killed literally like hundreds,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: if not thousands, of these mobs while going down the line,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: she took thousands of gallons of blood and guts into
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: her inventory, so as soon as that update went through,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: it all immediately gets ejected from her in the middle
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: of her safe room like.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: Uh oh explosion.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Uh. And so at that point about Mordecai comes back
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: and he's like, what the hell just happened. So it
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: was kind of funny. It was it was really funny.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: It was funny Carl has to catch Mordecai out. They
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: come up with a plan, like all right, they got
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: to start making the final push to the to the
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: stairways because at this point it the mobs are becoming
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: too dangerous and they are most likely going to have
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: to call it quits early. Instead of waiting like till
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: the last minute, I think they do actually wait until
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: the last minute before they leave. I'm just gonna take kick.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna look at this. So, so we're getting
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: to the last parts of the book. So as they're
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: getting closer to the end of the to the collapse
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: of the floor, the survivors are beginning to converge on
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: key stairwell stations, mainly the one station that they noted
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: that was particularly safe was station thirty six and the
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: part the crawlers have to make a stand and wait
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: because most of them are going to try their best
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: to wait until the very last minute to begin entering
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: the stairways because at this point the stairways don't unlock
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: until like like I think, like the last like twenty
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: four hours of the crawl of the level, and they
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: began coordinating with all the crawlers that are there to
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: make a stand like flame using flame throwers, traps magic
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: to hold back the waves of like the cracked out
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: kra Coen monsters and ghules, and like we really see
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: that a lot of the crawlers have come together. So
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: like before in the first three floors, a lot of
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: the crawlers are just doing their own thing, but in
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: this one in the Iron Tangle, seems like there's hundreds,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: if not thousands of crawlers starting to work.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: Together as they should as they should.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: But the thing is is that this is when Carl
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: also learns that there are hundreds of crawlers that are
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: being stranded at this one that are stranded at this
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: one particular section of the of the Iron Tangle, and
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: that's something called the abyss. So like there's a section
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: of the of the transfer lines that have these portals, right,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: and these portals are where like they'll transport the train
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: the subway trains back to the beginning of their lines
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: or if there was like any like damage trains or
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: junk trains that are no longer in use, they go
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: through a specific portal that sends them into a trash
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: abyss like an abyss. And the thing is that one
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: of the portals they really need, the crawlers really need
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: like a specific type of NPC to enter it, but
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: unfortunately the NPC they needed got killed. So now they're
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: stuck there and they can't get through it to get
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: to the stairway. Carl has to mount a rescue attempt
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: to try to like get to get to there so
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: they can get like a specific type of NPC to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: get them into the portal, right, and let me see,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: and this particular so they come up with a plan
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: to rescue these crawlers, and the plan involved using a
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: specific NPC, so like this NPC is considered a like
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: key NPC, and in order to use him, they have
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: to kill him. But the funny thing is is that
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: this NPC, his name is Growler Gary. Uh. He's an
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: NPC that literally cannot die, Like you could kill him,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: but he's immediately resurrected. Yeah, so he keeps so he's
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: basically Kenny.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's Kenny. Yeah. Poor guy.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: He dies, and then a few hours later and he's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: back up and poor guy like poor guy, like because
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: he does this poor Gary. He's a hyena, like a
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's like a.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: Knol, Coboltnole whatever they say, like Cobolt looks like a
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: hyena thing. I'm like Cobalt, but he kind to D
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: and D terms it kind of looks like a knoll basically, Yeah.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's I think that's what he is,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: is a null. Well anyway, he's a null. And he's
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: an alcoholic too, so he's like always plastered. Yeah, so's
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: they have to sacrifice him to be able to enter
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: those portals. They do that, and he manages to say
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: like thousands of crawlers and then and get them to
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: the stairway. The thing is, though Carl had learned that
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: Let's see, so Carl learned, like has known for a
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: while that the Skull Empire is out to kill him.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: So the Skull Empire, is said in previous episode, is
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: a it was basically an empire of Orcs, and he
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: had pissed off one of the princes of the of
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: the Skull Empire, and that prince bitch to his older brother.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: His older brother tried to kill Karl but failed, and
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: now he's gonna try again. So the thing is is
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: that the prince in question that he pissed off was.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: He called himself the Maestro, and when he got his
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: brother to try to kill Karl the he only ended
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: up killing a naga who was also being controlled by
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: a Voltai warm and the Voltai Corporation took offence to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: that and they launched a counter strike against the Skull Empire,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: killing both the Mayastro and the Queen of the and
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: the Queen of the Skull Empire.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: Well they had common, they had common, yeah, common.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: They had it coming. So the thing is is that uh,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: his older brother I think is uh the the Mastro's
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: older brother who was the crown Prince of the Skull Empire,
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: calls himself Prince Stalwart. Uh. Stalwart is also participating in
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: the in the Crawl this season as a sponsored deity.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: And this specific deity is I forgot which one he's sponsoring.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: But it's like a war god, oh war god Grol
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: and like this is we're pretty much at the end.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: Uh So, so Carl had to he has to deal
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: with the mimic that he had teleported away from that
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: he managed to teleport away from the subway lines and
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: it turned itself into a warehouse at the transfer station.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is that because of that, a
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: lot of carawlers are walking into a trap. And uh,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: so he has to figure out a way to get
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: rid of the city boss mimic because this mimic is
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: a city boss level. Yeah, it's huge, and it's virtually unkillable.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is that, uh, while trying to
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: deal with it, he inadverted, Carl inadvertently summons a god,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: and the particular god in question happens to be the
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: very sponsored god that that Prince Stalwart is in control of.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: So Stalwart himself appears in the in the floor and
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: tries to kill Carl.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: Carl uses this distraction to uses the god as a
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: ah as a way of not only uh killing the
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: city boss, but takes care of like huge swath of
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: like the swarms of mobs that that are appearing in
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: the transfer station. Yeah, and the thing is is that
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Grahl very nearly kills Karl several times and almost pummels
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: him to death. But Carl was given a special like
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: a specialty potion by Mordecai, so this potion temporarily makes
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: him unkillable. But the problem is is that it's not.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make him indestructible. So what it does is
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: that basically, like you could still take damage while the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: spell is in effect, while the potion's in effects, you
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: can still take damage and something can kill you, but
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: the potion rapidly heals you. So basically like he basically
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: it turns you into a cockroach.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically smush.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: Then immediately pop back up and you can scurry on it. Yeah,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: you can scurry away. And the thing is is that
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what So there was like a
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: specific idea him or spell that if you use it
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: in uh, if you do, if you use it here
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: in the due in this level of the dungeon, it
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: summons a deity. I think it has something to do
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: with a item. Is that if they kill if he
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: kills them, they can summon Graul. Yes, yeah, so that's
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: what he does. He like attacks one of the mantars
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: and it causes Gral to be summoned. So they were
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: gonna basically do that attack of mantar and then throw
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: his ass using a special portal. Like there's a special
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: like train that goes through the Iron Tangle and it
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: has a portal at the front of the train. And
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: what it does is that it collects any bodies, any debris,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: like if you if you managed to crash one of
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: the trains or stop him, it'll like it'll basically just
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: go through, suck up all the debris the track, and
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: then a new train will come through and more mobs
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: will appear. So they managed to take control of that,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: and like they were they were able to change the
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: portal to where it'll like dump the UH. It'll dump
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: all the debris mobs and ship in the UH in
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: the train yard where the mimic is. So they were
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: gonna do that on the man's horse. That way, when
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: his body is dumped into the train yard, it'll summon
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: Girl there. Carl takes his U in his vulnerability potion
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: like manages to like get the mimic and graalified each other,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: even though Girl is being controlled by by the stall
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: work and uh, they managed to kill the mimic.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: Let me see your.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: So what they ended up doing is like they use
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: that they use that special like UH that jump portal
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: to trick both the mimic and to trap both the
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: mimic and Groll because seems when a god is summoned
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: that God will like take will appear as like in
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: like various sizes. So if it's like outside in a
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: wide open space, it'll appear as it near its full size,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: like its massive, towering monster. But if it's inside, like
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: a confined space, it'll appear more like normal size, like
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: a man's size or something like that, or maybe slightly bigger.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: So what they did was like they got Grol and
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: the Mimic to fight each other. Growl attacks Carl a
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: few times, even the mimic does, but because he took
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: that in vulnerability potion, it doesn't kill him. It just
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: like he gets him, gets his ass whoops, but he
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: still but he survives. And what they end up doing
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: was that they got they managed to use the portal
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: to teleport both both Grol and the and the Mimic
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: down into the abyss where the where all the junk
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: is sent and because it's it's like basically a bottomless pit,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: girl basically get basically dies.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: So like Prince Polwart loses his sponsored deity as a result,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: Well I gotta like, I gotta see what really happens,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, give me sick. Yeah. Yeah, So basically
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: what they did was they threw they got another man tar.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: So after Grohl kills the kills the city boss mimic
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: he uh, they distract him while uh Katia like transforms
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: herself into like a copy of Carl to distract girl.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: And then Donut alongside had a couple other crawlers. Uh,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: they had captured another Mantar and they started beating his
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: ass up. And when they did that, this triggers the
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: summoning of Grol and just before the sumning goes through,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: they toss him through the trap the abyscuit and when
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: Grell gets summoned, he basically falls.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: Into the abyss dead death.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't technically kill Grohl, but it does desummon him,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: like despawn him.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not He's not part of the picture anymore.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that also causes Grol uh the
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: Mayastro to lose his sponsorship over that deity.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it does cause a lot of problems, and
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: it's it's hysterical how they outsmart him and how they
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: how they how they basically, uh just outdo the system again.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is when the get the people running the
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: game get kind of well, no, they get pissed for
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: the next book never mind. Yeah, but they start paying
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: attention to Carl.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, the chaosa day that Carl causes in floor four,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: like really like it echoes down the line, like there's changes, like, uh,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: it causes the eugenics party of the of the Quatin
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: to take over for the remainder of like the season,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: and well they quote unquote the.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Remainder mm hmm.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: So they're uh, they're now all getting ready to go
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: down the stairs, to go down the stairs. Uh, they've
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: cleared all They pretty much cleared all the mobs.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: They're dealing with the aftermath of just everything that's happened
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: in this floor. Like Katya is now more confident, but
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: she's still dealing with some lingering guilt for what she
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: did after killing Hecla. But then again not much guilt
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: because now that she knows that Hecla was using her
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: and like was a piece of shit, it's like, bitch,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: who cares?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: That bitch?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Right? That bitch? Uh donut, Her donut has leveled up more,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: even though her constitution is still ship. Carl is now
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: one a legend, and he has more tools at his disposal,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: including the anarchist cookbook. And now they have to face
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: new challenges because the Quatson replaced Zev as their handler
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: and get a new more bitchier and more controlling Quatson
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: named Loitsa.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: So I hate.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: Hate with Zev. They had like built some trust and
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: Zev for the most part had like a handle over
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: Carl and Donut like Carl still did where the fuck
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: they wanted, but it was in a like in the
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: right direction, yes, you could say, and they they could.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: They felt like they could actually trust Zev because Zev
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't like feet, like, wasn't stewing that you know, all
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: of like the pr bullshit that a lot of like
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: handlers would spew to their to their crawlers.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: But that did also get her in trouble.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so unfortunately Zev gets sent to a re
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: education camp Lloyds. It takes over. They go down the
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: they go they finally go down the stairs into the
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: fifth floor and they find themselves in a new area.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: So the fifth floor is interesting because the fifth floor
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: is now the first is a special kind of floor
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: because one it's now the first floor that crawlers who
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: have flight abilities can actually start flying. Yeah, they actually
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: start using xing it because like one crawler Imani, she
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: took on a race called it's Papaloto based off of
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: a Aztec goddess called the Obsidian butterflies. So she looks
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: like she's humanoid. She has like these tribal patterns on
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: her on her face, and she has a pair of
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: massive monarch wings and the wings do allow her to
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: fly but any floor, but on any floor below floor five,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: she can't fly. Yeah, So the new floor that they
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: enter is a They find themselves in a massive biome
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: like a big bubble, and uh. They learned that the
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: bubble is divided into four quadrants air, land, water, and
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: subterranean mm hmm, and Carl and Donut are in the
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: air quadrant, but they find that they're quad They're standing
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a huge sandball on top of
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: like this huge massive rock formation pillar kind of deal.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: And they learned that in order to be able to
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: pass this floor to go down into the stairwell, all
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: four quadrants of the bubble have to be cleared. So
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: if one is cleared and the other three aren't, they
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: can't go through. And until they clear their quadrant, they
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: can't move to one of the other two quadrants, one
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: of the other four one of the other three quadrants.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be the that's pretty much gonna be
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: the theme of the next of the next book. So
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: on floor five, it's like these bubble worlds. There are
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: hundreds of these. There's thousands of these bubble worlds all
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: like all throughout this level. And crawlers. All the crawlers
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: are divided into these kind of bubbles, so they're different.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 3: Each one.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: Each bubble has their own like little biome, their own
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: little like their own biome. So some have like a
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: jungle theme. Some are desert themes, so Carlin donuts there
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: and like an desert theme. Yeah, but.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: In any case, the book three, that's book three.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: That's book three, The Iron Dungeons, the Dungeon Anarchists Cookbook.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: And I hope you guys liked it. I enjoyed this book.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of time to read. Uh honestly,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: it the the cookbook itself. I'm excited, yes, because because
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot that happens later on in the book,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: later on in the series especially, and it all comes
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: to ahead and book seven. Uh, mainly because of the
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spoil I'm not really gonna spoil it
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: for you, guys. Uh, let's just say that the that
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: the advice from the former Dungeon Anarchists that owned the
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: cookbook really helped Carl in book seven.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: For y'all listening, I'm currently on book half about almost
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: halfway through book five. No spoilers, no spoilers, but thank
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: you all for listening today's episode on the third book
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: of the Dungeon Call Carl series, the Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Dungeon Anarchists Cookbook. Hope you guys enjoy it. I certainly
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. You haven't picked up a copy yet, you can,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: please do. You can pick up an e book, or
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: you can pick up the physical copy. I strongly recommend
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: the Ace Publisher's hardcover edition, mainly because it comes with
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: that extra little section at the end for the backstage
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: at the Pineapple Cavaret. It also comes with like neat
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: little illustrations too, Like there's not a lot of them,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: but like right here it sometimes has like little extra illustrations,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: so like this is like a kind of like a
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: rudimentary map of the Iron Tangle.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: So so it's really good like, I'm that kind of
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: person that if I buy a specific if I buy
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: a book in a specific edition, and then I buy
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: the rest of the series in that same edition, so
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: they're all matching.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: You can be like and my boyfriend get all the audiobooks,
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: ebooks and physical and the comic book when that comes out,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: or the webtoon when that comes out. But uh, that
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: will be Dungeon Cral Carl for this month. Next month,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: will do we'll be doing book four because we're gonna
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: be doing probably like one of my goal is, will
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: do like one a month.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: But Dungeon Garlic Carl is an ongoing series. I've read
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: the This Inevitable Ruin, which is book seven when it
• 1:47:48

• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: Of Lord's Sponsored Levels.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, floor ten, Floor ten, God damn it, because floor
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: ten is the beginning is going to be the start
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: of the sponsored levels where crawlers can now take deals
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: to get out of the dungeon. So like after floor
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: nine already like a large number of crawlers have taken deals,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: and like I said, floor nine was the first floor.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: It was this was the first time in dungeon crawler
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: history where like over thirty thousand crawlers were had made
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: it to this far that point there was select by
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: that point there's usually less than ten thousand, and by
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: the end of the of that floor there's less than
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: there's even less than that, less than half of that.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But tune in for the coming months for the
• 1:49:05

• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: the animated film from the nineties, and then of course
