[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: There are no walls or wards which can contain evil.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: The Pixies of Berrybrook attempted this doomed path choosing to hide themselves away, sequestering themselves in the mist.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But Thosinia's curse found them all the same.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: As Chestnut prized the boards and bars away from the entrance to the tunnels beneath the village, you see all the evidence you need that this barrier is not a solution, only a tactic of delay.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Scattered just inside the entrance are the remnants of previous barriers, splintered into
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the backside of this makeshift seal, you see a tapestry of deep and furious scratches and owed to the inevitable painted by the terrifying claws of the Rat King.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: The cool air of the tunnel's poles at your skin, backening you towards a deafening cacophony of buzzing and skittering that forces its way into your ears and burrows itself deep in
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: you step inside the tunnels, and behind you, you hear... As the barricades are quickly reconstructed behind you, and nailed into place.
2:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Not even like a buy, not even like a good buy hug.
2:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't even know like see you later.
2:33
[SPEAKER_05]: No time, time, time, time, time.
2:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have a split, it's like no sealed.
2:37
[SPEAKER_07]: Not even to Adelaide from Chesapeake.
2:39
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but good, all right.
2:40
[SPEAKER_07]: I see, I see, I see with my baby, but okay.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, but before the last board goes in, it kind of board pops up in Chesapeake.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelaide, my love, my dear.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I will compose a son.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something for you.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time you get out of here, I swear, you're the most beautiful and radiant thing I've ever seen.
2:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I just can't wait to see you again.
3:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you make it out of your life.
3:01
[SPEAKER_05]: I feel more like you hoped I would if you weren't kind of barricading me in.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: With the divorce so simple, I would love to be on that side and not this side.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have my orders from the queen and, you know, I do all the leadances.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love you, but I did just meet you today.
3:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
3:27
[SPEAKER_05]: Adelaide does not understand that Adelaide is very used because of her princess powers of people falling in love with her that day.
3:34
[SPEAKER_05]: She doesn't see what the fuck the problem is.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Adelaide, you're realizing, like, you're the charm effect that was there.
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like starting to wear off and like, you gotta head another bit of it.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it safe?
3:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I gotta head another bit of it.
3:46
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta head another bit of it.
3:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
3:49
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my dear sweet, what was this name again?
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Chess.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Chess to that.
3:54
[SPEAKER_05]: No, this was Adelaide asking her right now.
3:56
[SPEAKER_05]: This wasn't Danielle, this was Adelaide asking the princess.
3:59
[SPEAKER_05]: He was.
3:59
[SPEAKER_02]: His name was Chestnut.
4:01
[SPEAKER_02]: His name was Chestnut.
4:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was Hazel.
4:04
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm sorry.
4:05
[SPEAKER_03]: His name was Chestnut.
4:06
[SPEAKER_02]: His name was Chestnut.
4:06
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not Hazelnut.
4:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Hazelnut.
4:08
[SPEAKER_02]: His name was Chestnut.
4:09
[SPEAKER_05]: His name was Hazelnut.
4:11
[SPEAKER_05]: My dearest sweetest to you.
4:16
[UNKNOWN]: Not.
4:16
[UNKNOWN]: Nice.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Were it nicknames already?
4:18
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
4:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Pet names, honey.
4:21
[SPEAKER_05]: Your duty.
4:24
[SPEAKER_05]: It is bound, but I believe that you do see that you worked something something meant for me.
4:31
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't let us die.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows good.
4:34
[SPEAKER_05]: She's doing so good.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks through to you, and again, like, clutches his heart goes, I'm not the soul, just for me.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: This one, even a work in progress.
4:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You couldn't wait to give it to me.
4:45
[SPEAKER_05]: A work in progress.
4:46
[SPEAKER_05]: That's how the new rap thing I do works.
4:50
[SPEAKER_05]: Fems up.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He reaches back and pulls out from his coat.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: You see this kind of like, there's this like pocket in there and like unclips it.
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And he pulls out a small vial.
5:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that looks like some kind of potion or something.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, but it's attached on a chain.
5:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you would wrap around your neck or maybe like around a wrist or something.
5:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And he pants it too and goes,
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: This was given to me by my mother and has always protected me in the darks of times.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Only use it when there is no hope left.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It will protect you and will light the way.
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And also just be really, really careful with it because if I introduce you to my mother and it's broken, I'll be honest, that's kind of the ball game.
5:36
[SPEAKER_05]: and they just like grabs it and puts it on like just like puts like uh uh she's like looking at it kind of shakes it by our ear it's beautiful like can't wait to meet momma nut that's up momma nut yep i can't wait i don't i don't know we'll play that dinner soon and uh it puts the starts banging the uh the last of the planks into this thing so i have a i have a question
6:05
[SPEAKER_02]: What's a rat?
6:08
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, um, you probably wouldn't have been exposed to a cast or was always so clean.
6:14
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, rats were traditionally ears sort of small.
6:18
[SPEAKER_07]: Have you ever seen a mouse like help you get dressed or anything?
6:22
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
6:23
[SPEAKER_07]: Are you a squirrel?
6:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I've seen a squirrel.
6:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, sure.
6:27
[SPEAKER_07]: There's some princesses.
6:29
[SPEAKER_07]: It depends on what your deal is.
6:31
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, but it's squirrel.
6:35
[SPEAKER_05]: This was what your deal is.
6:37
[SPEAKER_07]: You're stupid, but you're a deal is.
6:41
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the moving of emphasis today.
6:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So much for me.
6:45
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's what your deal is.
6:47
[SPEAKER_05]: You're stupid.
6:50
[SPEAKER_07]: But there's that reds you're sort of like, if squirrels had shaved tails.
6:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they're like a horse.
6:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes gross.
7:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Like a tiny horse.
7:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes gross.
7:06
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, like when the like when Matt's sick feel like we need to lose it at least listed Let's try it.
7:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's try it.
7:14
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to imagine her like like I'm at the front of the group like oh my god She's up here singing another song where we have to do oh god What do you mean she doesn't know what a rat is we just say it was a small horse What is happening?
7:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So we can ride the rats the rats can be tamed
7:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I know where the crash is.
7:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I got it locked in.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't eat anymore.
7:35
[SPEAKER_02]: No one say anything else about rats.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The light behind you begins to disappear as the last few holes in this constructed barricade get filled.
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I assume one of you like lights up a torch or something.
7:48
[SPEAKER_00]: This is utter darkness down here.
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you'd like to have a torch and see a flickering firelight illuminates these tunnels these tunnels We're carved in a way so that pixies could come and go and store food and store arms This is a just a great storage place for the city and Amira as if an answer to your question What is a rat?
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You hear from down the way often this since just past a fork
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You see in front of you, a long tunnel leading to a forked path.
8:25
[SPEAKER_00]: There are two paths going one to left, one to the right.
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: As you get closer to them, off to the left, you feel a strange, almost electricity.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And you smell the combination of sweet things.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an interesting, it's...
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: a cacophony of, but not sounds, but of smells and of sensations, and then to the right you hear a almost deafening buzzing.
8:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I think there's no hiding what that buzzing is.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: This is some kind of swarm of bees.
9:01
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
9:02
[SPEAKER_07]: And I have to assume that those bees are
9:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if I, I'm going to drop down onto all fours and just pat like all of 10 feet down that tunnel and then just close my eyes to my head and listen and if I'm trying to connect with this isn't me initiating my ability to speak with animals more or less my ability to hear them if I'm trying to connect to the song and I've sensing that ferro franticness that was similar to the other infected bees do me for romi a wits check.
9:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we're coming out like that already.
9:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give you one answer, I'm going to give you one answer and more information if you succeed.
9:48
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a five under my nine.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The first thing you hear is you do hear, even without your ability to hear exactly what they're saying, the frantic, cursed nature of these beings is apparent to you even at this distance.
10:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's also kind of apparent to you, like, these are bees that have been locked down here.
10:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They are in like a crazy production mode, likely of making honey or something, but the thing that you recognize from this distance as well is some other voice or buzzing or presence.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a malevolent, like you're not sensing the rat king, though you definitely like hear the skittering and snarhing of that entity from somewhere down these tunnels.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead you hear a almost calming, I would say majestic presence buzzing alongside the rest of the bees.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Winnie, with that successful Witztest, I think you, the thing you hear is a slow, almost hypnotic command.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind the things that this be is saying, like the fact that you can pick out one voice in the hundreds is mostly because all of the other voices are frantic and cursed.
11:10
[SPEAKER_00]: This one probably cursed as well in some way, but the pattern is so much different and so
11:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, so I'll come back to the group.
11:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Somewhere down this tunnel, there's a very big hive of bees.
11:27
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just like the ones we encounter in the woods.
11:29
[SPEAKER_03]: They're adctated, they're ferro, they're cursed, they are frantic, but I can actually hear the queen, running beneath that, and there's something,
11:39
[SPEAKER_03]: How powerful about her?
11:41
[SPEAKER_03]: All queens of powerful.
11:42
[SPEAKER_03]: We know that.
11:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I kind of like do the gesture as a woman.
11:45
[SPEAKER_03]: And she says, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
12:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Geraldine, what are you getting from the other tunnel?
12:04
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh dear, uh, what, what am I getting from the other tunnel, right?
12:09
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead and roll me a with-check.
12:12
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
12:14
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a seven under my 12.
12:16
[SPEAKER_07]: Bless God!
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Hell yeah.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Geraldine, with that successful with-test.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You...
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: sense down the left hand tunnel.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like a static electricity coming through the air.
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a physical electricity, but there is something definitely potently magical down the left hand tunnel.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I think as you kind of just like skirt around it just a little bit just kind of peering off into the distance, you do see a very faint glow.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the only light in here, so it is clear that whatever this light source is is far away, but the fact that it is so dark in here, like you move the torch off to the side, and all of a sudden you see just this faint green glow, often the distance down this way.
13:02
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, there's something differently magical.
13:06
[SPEAKER_07]: It's got an energy to it, different from the bees, I think, but
13:13
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's something and I mean, if down that way there's light, glowing, it's not daylight, it's definitely something different.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: So you think the rat horses are down there?
13:28
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I feel we may have led you a grave by adding horses.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no more no, no, no, no, nothing more.
13:35
[SPEAKER_00]: No, go aside, just real quick point of order is Matt down here with you.
13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, just want to make sure.
13:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
13:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
13:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, that's the only thing the thing they're gonna get as if we said horse.
13:48
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a horse.
13:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
13:50
[SPEAKER_04]: You did say growth horse.
13:51
[SPEAKER_07]: So I guess, yeah.
13:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
13:54
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just thing as a growth horse.
13:55
[SPEAKER_02]: No such thing.
13:55
[SPEAKER_07]: No such thing.
13:57
[SPEAKER_05]: I see that.
13:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like
14:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you tell the other ones if you got bit?
14:21
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, like immediately.
14:22
[SPEAKER_07]: You have a divorce.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, totally.
14:24
[SPEAKER_07]: They're just like a response for choice.
14:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
14:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
14:28
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I mean, I'm going to die anyways.
14:30
[SPEAKER_05]: So like, why would I postpone it and risk all of the people that I love?
14:35
[SPEAKER_05]: And then also like, maybe the world.
14:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
14:37
[SPEAKER_05]: Because like, what if...
14:39
[SPEAKER_05]: What if you're with a group who's the only group who could save the world from like a zombie apocalypse and like you're in there It's kind of like a zombie Trojan horse And now the only people that could have helped are now going to get infected and I'm going to die anyway But you know, they're not going to magically find a cure before all of this happens.
15:03
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you have to disclose Right, I think more obligation to say that
15:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna sniff a mirror because at this point, I'm convinced she's infected.
15:11
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the only reason I'd explain to you that's not going to sniff her.
15:13
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm going to close the distance.
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Get on, we need to stop.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop sniffing.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm normal.
15:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
15:20
[SPEAKER_00]: When you go ahead and test Whits for me.
15:22
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh God.
15:24
[SPEAKER_05]: While you're doing that, Adelaide also sniffs Amira, tops, but they just smell like horse.
15:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, it just goes like horse.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop smelling me.
15:35
[SPEAKER_03]: This is an eight over nine or under nine.
15:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Just literally eating.
15:40
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: When you sniff a mirror and you had gotten some light touches of like her night and light that you got pretty heavy touches of like what a cursed person smells like Down here.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It is tough because a lot of what you're smelling down here is a production of honey from this hive or whatever is down this right hand tunnel is punching this cursed smell.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It has a certain odor to it
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: and you get close to Amira and the first thing you smell down by their hands is a little sweetness and you see residue on like the back of their knuckles of like frosting or I was eating cupcakes Amira brushes that often it comes right off
16:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, the knuckle comes off, too, or just a little too much describes, doesn't it help?
16:36
[SPEAKER_07]: No, wait, he posed a really good question.
16:38
[SPEAKER_07]: What comes off?
16:39
[SPEAKER_07]: Just the icing?
16:40
[SPEAKER_07]: The knuckle?
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: My finger.
16:42
[SPEAKER_03]: The icing.
16:43
[SPEAKER_03]: The icing.
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Just the icing comes off.
16:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: At this moment, you know for certain that at this moment at least, Amira has not shown any signs of infection.
16:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm gonna look a mirror directly in the face after I sniff up her wrist and her knuckles.
16:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Time going to stand up.
17:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna look up to her.
17:04
[SPEAKER_03]: If I knew, would you want to know?
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, yeah, but you, you don't know because I am not cursed.
17:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a hypothetical about zombies, but I got the shot and everyone knows that I'm doing a good job.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't look at me.
17:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's looking at me.
17:25
[SPEAKER_03]: The best of clear questions.
17:27
[SPEAKER_03]: You do want to know or you don't want to know?
17:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I want to know, but don't look at me.
17:32
[SPEAKER_05]: And everyone just turned around and he said they're just, and Adelaide turns around.
17:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Amir, if you are under a candy curse, we will save you.
17:46
[SPEAKER_05]: And if we don't, your task it will be tracked away by 10 to 15 of the countries with beautiful horses.
17:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Can it just be met?
17:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, of course, it will just be Matt behind the mirror just goes, it shakes his head.
18:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt's the homies.
18:16
[SPEAKER_07]: Matt will be very well taken care of.
18:18
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't you worry.
18:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt's head just
18:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, thanks, man.
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm, yeah, thank you.
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: This is nice.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm here as Matt Lix at the side of your face.
18:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, son, you see Matt.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's licking you, like a couple more times.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The only scene him lick like a sugar cube or like a salt last or something.
18:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt, stop.
18:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That's gonna eat you.
18:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I give Matt a wink.
18:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Ha ha ha.
18:46
[SPEAKER_03]: You're all right, Matt.
18:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
18:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop it.
18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop it, stop.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
18:52
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
18:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this doesn't mean it turns around.
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt just puts up a hope to like, dampwiny.
18:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Refuge.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Refuge.
19:01
[UNKNOWN]: Refuge.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: As you guys have been deciding what to do here, you have spent some time here, which means we're gonna roll for a potential wrinkle.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm gonna choose at random, who's gonna roll for that wrinkle.
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna be rolling a D-4, so I'll just go ahead and roll a D-4.
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got it in my hand.
19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, he had some mirror.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
19:21
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's a great.
19:22
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a great.
19:22
[SPEAKER_05]: You finally get to roll.
19:24
[SPEAKER_05]: Finally, we've been waiting for you to roll with.
19:25
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, hang on.
19:28
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, kidding me.
19:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you could roll the D4, you're just looking for not a one.
19:34
[SPEAKER_07]: The dice said it was so, I mean,
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I rolled a three.
19:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, three.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing happens.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: No wrinkle.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say as you guys linger in places, this is a very dangerous environment.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be rolling de-force for potential wrinkles anytime you're spending too much time.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So you see these two tunnels.
19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You see the left tunnel with this glow in this magical emanation.
19:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And you see this right tunnel with this buzzing and cacophony of bees and this mesmeric sound or buzzing of this queen bee.
20:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And from somewhere down here, you hear that roar of the rat king.
20:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is so cacophonist that it seems to envelop both of these places.
20:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
20:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Which time of do you choose?
20:23
[SPEAKER_07]: I, well, we need A.
20:26
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm worried if we get stern by the bees that perhaps will become infected, but, you know, it's the unknown down this way, and the quasi-none down that way, if you think these bees are unlikely to be tamed, then I may vote left.
20:46
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's go left.
20:47
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, we'll go left.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We're coming, rat king, course, rat horse king.
20:53
[SPEAKER_07]: You don't have to announce it.
20:55
[SPEAKER_07]: Sometimes this next scene is sort of show up.
20:58
[SPEAKER_07]: Surprise!
21:00
[SPEAKER_07]: It's about you.
21:00
[SPEAKER_07]: You never know.
21:01
[SPEAKER_07]: Surprise, party.
21:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Or your birthday?
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course this.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course this.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course this.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys make your way down the left-hand tunnel, and as you approach what you see as an opening to some kind of store room, you see this green glow is getting just a little bit brighter, though this clear that is not emanating from this room.
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: There's clearly like a room beyond where this green glow is.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: As you kind of turn to corner, you see this room in front of you, seems to be lined around all of the sides with shelves with a bunch of glass bottles and things, or rather,
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: You would have seen a bunch of last bottles, they seem to have all fallen on the floor.
21:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, shattered, creating this large puddle in the center of the room and as you enter this room, that electricity in the air begins to thicken in a way that what was a sensation of static.
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Now is coalescing into a smoky Mayasma that is filling this room.
22:09
[SPEAKER_00]: on the ground you see a large puddle that's taking up most of the room that seems to be the contents of all of the flasks and bottles that were on the shelf stored, having smashed into a large viscous pool that has this weird like ever changing a mercurial shimmer to it.
22:29
[SPEAKER_00]: and then pass this puddle that would be kind of, I say, puddle.
22:34
[SPEAKER_00]: This room is kind of flooded by this stuff.
22:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They were hundreds of blocks in this thing.
22:38
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, so there's no walking around.
22:41
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Passed this kind of flooded little area is a door to a adjacent room where you see this green glow emanating from.
22:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, you want me to hop over and look?
22:59
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, alright.
23:01
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, when you, you can't believe in you.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do it.
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, when you go ahead and make a, uh, I'll say do a test of your choosing.
23:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do grace.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do, um, probably grace if you're trying to like bound about.
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you were trying to also climb things, I'd let you do resolve as well if you want to do that instead.
23:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the idea of being graceful, but I think on this one, not just because it's a higher number, just because of the way I'm mentioning this.
23:28
[SPEAKER_03]: No narrative would be resolved because more than like a dexterity base, this is more like.
23:34
[SPEAKER_03]: focused intentionality because I have no idea if there's a foe on the other side of this thing is going to force me back into it and I'm going to be separated from my party so yeah I think this is going to be more like me keeping my composure together and being like you know versus like parkour this is rock climbing where it's very intentional yes and I'm carrying my way along I may fail to roll any of these guys I'm rolling under a 12 and I hit a 12 success oh yeah let's go
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You very quickly climb along these shelves.
24:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They are a little bit rickety.
24:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like something had gotten in this room and smashed around.
24:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You see claw marks, very reminiscent of the marks that had shattered things at the front gates, at the barricades.
24:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Going through and grabbing onto random bits of wood and like on the ceiling, there's still rocky elements of the ceiling and beams and things that you're able to grab onto and swing.
24:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You swing over this myazmatic pool and land on the other side.
24:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Inside of the doorway you see that green glow is very bright now, and as you peek your head inside, you immediately see two things.
24:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The first you see off in the back corner of what is clearly like a auxiliary like food store room This is like a very large room.
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: There was full of like a lot of grain barrels and mushrooms and things off in the back corner of the room You see To your eyes a large almost not quite horse size not quite Matt sized But like large dog sized glow worm
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it has a little color around its neck with a little bell and a little like dog tag.
25:16
[SPEAKER_00]: However, preventing it from getting anywhere, you see some kind of slime.
25:25
[SPEAKER_00]: that is almost forming like a web, impeding the glowworm from getting out.
25:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And as you kind of look out for a moment, you see this web itself, this slime begin to pulse.
25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And you see some of the tendrils reaching out from the mushrooms and the various things in this room, and you trace with your eyes down from where these tendrils are and you see it is feeding off of this pool in the other room.
26:00
[SPEAKER_00]: mushrooms and fungus in this room have formed some kind of fully cognizant or like living entity that is surrounding the entire room and pulses momentarily as you see a little bit of the strange like concoction in the other room get sucked up just a little bit sucked up just a little bit does it seem aware of the fact that we did it when he did you like crack the door open or did you
26:28
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like no door.
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like no door.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like just a chamber.
26:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
26:34
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm hanging off the top of a shelf like half off of the wall and half and I'm like peeking it Adelaide, I thought your boyfriend's glow warm.
26:42
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see miss you in a glow warm.
26:44
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's a glow warm.
26:45
[SPEAKER_03]: We're died, right?
26:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Something's something glow warm.
26:49
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
26:50
[SPEAKER_05]: I think I remember something about a worm.
26:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe he was blowing.
26:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there anything on there that says like I'm a nut worm?
26:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't that's worm maybe?
26:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna look at the glow worm and it's like, do you belong the hazelnut?
27:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Did I remember I actually remember the guy saying that?
27:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you belong the chestnut?
27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's chestnut?
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: As you say that you see all of a sudden the glow worms eyes like flick over to eyes the glow worms head kind of I stop you face them however worms work.
27:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you see the the worm moves in a way that you recognize would be a thing barking but instead it is kind of like
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: and then the bell kind of tinkles a little bit as the bell tinkles and as you say this thing the slime this mold slime pulses harder and the tendrils begin to move around even further you see this thing is not able to sense you in a visual sense but it is reacting to your presence as you move through oh interesting I can't leave that glow warm by itself but I am out of my lead here so I'm gonna look back at Geraldine as I
27:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't speak fungus, or mold, or magical mold, or whatever this is.
27:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, maybe I can give it a shot.
28:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Is the mold, is it making a noise?
28:05
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of, as you listen close, there's a little bit of a kind of hum or rather kind of a squelching sound of what you're hearing is if you put your ear up to someone's belly and you hear their intestines digesting food, that's what you're hearing in a room that is also underground and being echoed.
28:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a thing that you would rather have not heard.
28:29
[SPEAKER_07]: Adley, do you think if you sing, you can calm it or distract it or something?
28:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Or at least pull it towards you where I can get into this room, or... Yeah, I think I'm gonna try.
28:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll try to see if I can sing for it.
28:48
[SPEAKER_07]: I have an idea.
28:50
[SPEAKER_07]: Ooh, a brain, a shenanigan for you.
28:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, shenanigans.
28:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you have a shenanigan.
28:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a shenanigan.
28:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a shenanigan.
29:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
29:00
[SPEAKER_07]: What a shenanigan.
29:02
[SPEAKER_07]: Nate abilities is cat-like.
29:05
[SPEAKER_07]: You have advantage on virtue tests that involve acrobatics climbing your stealth.
29:10
[SPEAKER_07]: And you can leap twice as far as most people.
29:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.
29:16
[SPEAKER_07]: Will you?
29:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do we need to do that?
29:20
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
29:22
[SPEAKER_06]: She likes to climb.
29:22
[SPEAKER_06]: I like her camera.
29:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
29:25
[SPEAKER_06]: She didn't realize until we were halfway through that scene that I shouldn't have been building her.
29:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Which you let me hold on to Adelaide and leap with both of us across the puddle.
29:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I will 100% let you do it.
29:44
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a hoarding another person, I'll say disadvantage, but you have advantage.
29:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So cancels out, so you'd be rolling.
29:49
[SPEAKER_07]: So there's three flats, okay?
29:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no worries.
29:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just, I'll just, I'll just stay here.
29:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
29:55
[SPEAKER_02]: We're met.
29:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We're met.
29:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll just go with you.
29:57
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no.
29:58
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll just hang out here.
29:59
[SPEAKER_07]: Baby find a move.
30:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll, I'll find the move.
30:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be back.
30:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be back.
30:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be back.
30:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back.
30:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back.
30:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back.
30:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back.
30:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be back.
30:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, are you starting opening up a bunch of like cabinets in the kind of like entryway to find a mob?
30:16
[SPEAKER_07]: I imagine a mirror having a full fan-tasia wizards assisted moment where it's you open the wrong closet and there's or what's the spice cabinet?
30:26
[SPEAKER_00]: The magician's apprentice.
30:27
[SPEAKER_07]: The magician's apprentice, where you find mobs that start to move.
30:32
[SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, anyway, Brad, we say.
30:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You can absolutely attempt this, grabbing Adeline and jumping over, because you're grabbing another whole other person, advantage this advantage cancel out, you'll be just rolling flat.
30:45
[SPEAKER_00]: If you fail, you are falling in this puddle.
30:47
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
30:49
[SPEAKER_07]: We don't know the consequences of that yet.
30:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know the consequences.
30:52
[SPEAKER_07]: It might be great.
30:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed to work out really well for the slime mold.
30:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
30:57
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, and late, uh, I could, I could to get us both in a, in a better position of sort of lipos in there.
31:05
[SPEAKER_07]: And while you sing, we didn't, I could, could see about getting over to that glower and, and maybe Matt and Amira could leave after us.
31:14
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that sounds good.
31:15
[SPEAKER_07]: That's too.
31:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I could do that.
31:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, baby.
31:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it.
31:30
[SPEAKER_07]: How does it eat?
31:31
[SPEAKER_07]: Which is one below my nine.
31:33
[SPEAKER_07]: Last, last, last, last, last.
31:34
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, God.
31:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
31:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelaide, you get scooped up by this, well, septogenarian?
31:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And bound over this.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably like, this is, Joanie takes like a couple steps back and you realize.
31:48
[SPEAKER_07]: And Joanie does a full, like, walks back and, like, Tara would all Davis does, like, a full Olympic long jump.
31:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wild for you to feel, because you're looking, and Jordyn's legs are all the way out in front of her, so she can clear this thing, and then with your additional weight, the momentum pulls you over, it's a wild experience for you.
32:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of you clear it as you see this slime mode as you land, this like the effort of this again makes this mode react in some way, as the glowworm kind of looks at you.
32:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You see it kind of giving some kind of motion of like pointing you towards like a side of the room where there seems to be a concentration of this slime mode.
32:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this thing is enveloping the entire room, but there is a section that is clearly like this was where it was born from and you see this was like a mushroom or or fungus like storage area Both of you clear across this my asmatic pool Amira what are you doing Matt found a transfer pipette on the ground sure
33:04
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just piping the liquid into the the rage bottle I have, so we get, we get some of the goo, I'm just doing that.
33:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, as you do that, you, I say, you immediately bottle up two vials of this stuff, as that happens though, I'm going to need you to roll a D6.
33:23
[SPEAKER_00]: What the hell?
33:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, come on.
33:25
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, our NAR.
33:27
[SPEAKER_00]: What the heck?
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on baby.
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you kidding me?
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this is not a wrinkle.
33:34
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a magical effect that is going to be happening to you.
33:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be great.
33:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it could be good.
33:40
[SPEAKER_04]: It could be good.
33:41
[SPEAKER_04]: It could be good.
33:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You're awesome.
33:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You're totally totally different.
33:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the pot.
33:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the pot.
33:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me be good.
33:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You have two vials of this stuff.
33:49
[SPEAKER_00]: This could be great.
33:50
[SPEAKER_07]: One for you, one for Matt.
33:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I rolled a three.
33:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, this is so perfect.
33:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy.
33:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy.
33:59
[SPEAKER_00]: There were a combination of bad effects on this table.
34:03
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some good effects on this table, and there were some funny effects on this table.
34:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And number three is the funniest of them all.
34:12
[SPEAKER_00]: As you are breathing in this my asthma in this room, you all of a sudden cough opening up the capillars of your lungs and you feel some of this my asthma getting in.
34:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And all of a sudden you feel a sensation warp through your lungs up to your brain and like you almost feel it like tickling your brain for a second.
34:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, all of a sudden your inhibitions are gone.
34:34
[SPEAKER_00]: For the next hour, you cannot resist the urge to blurred out your most embarrassing sentence.
34:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
34:41
[SPEAKER_00]: My most embarrassing what?
34:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You're most embarrassing secrets.
34:45
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, this was a good idea.
34:47
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm here.
34:47
[SPEAKER_07]: You've been keeping secrets.
34:48
[SPEAKER_07]: This was a real good, honey.
34:50
[SPEAKER_07]: The stuff you only tell man.
34:54
[SPEAKER_07]: What?
34:54
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
34:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Who did tell me?
34:57
[SPEAKER_03]: We're 20.
34:57
[SPEAKER_03]: We're 20.
34:57
[SPEAKER_03]: We're 20.
34:58
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not fair.
35:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Stop there.
35:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't barter in your secrets.
35:04
[SPEAKER_00]: As that's happening, Adelaide Winnie and Geraldine, you are across, you see this glow worm trapped by this slime mode, you begin to move into this area.
35:12
[SPEAKER_00]: The slime mode is responding to sound and sensation.
35:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving quietly through this space is potentially a way to get around it, but even then you see in front of, like, basically surrounding this glow worm, it is trapped not as a cage, it is just like stuck, it can't get around to this thing.
35:34
[SPEAKER_05]: So Adelaide like clears her throat because we're gonna be making noise anyway There's no way to like not make noise.
35:41
[SPEAKER_05]: So sound effects that I might as well affect it with a good sound And I'm going to I'm going to do a lot of bye
35:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, slime-multhing, oh, slime-multhing, please do not make us stab you Oh, slime-multhing, oh, slime-multhing, cuz I'll totally stab you Do you think that this is a game?
36:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't make your family file acclaim Oh, slime-multhing, I'm not fucking the one, the two or the three
36:24
[SPEAKER_07]: Woo, yeah, baby.
36:28
[SPEAKER_07]: For a moment, Gerald, you just just mesmerized.
36:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna say, I think I'm winning almost falls asleep like off of the battle of the board, like my hand slips and I almost dropped.
36:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm here, I was like, I'm high, but that was great.
36:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're using your lullaby.
36:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got a roll, your gift dice.
36:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
36:46
[SPEAKER_00]: You have one gift I.
36:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The sum of the gift dice that the result of that gift I will be the amount of hit points it can put to sleep.
36:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
36:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you right now.
36:55
[SPEAKER_00]: This, this is going to be tough.
36:57
[SPEAKER_00]: This line mode has six hit points.
36:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
37:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got to roll a six for this thing to be coming past it.
37:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
37:04
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm sorry for the gift I.
37:06
[SPEAKER_05]: What dice is that that is a D6?
37:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a D6.
37:09
[SPEAKER_05]: I will just practice these dice cannot be altered by heart dice okay okay before I roll it's so it's it's six so is it like sleepy if I get less than six or is it just like all or nothing it is like a little like woozy or nothing this is all and nothing but if you get it you clear right through
37:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, but to two, okay, that is honestly it's a good way to do it because if you draw to four or five, that gift I would have been expended.
37:38
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, sure, okay, I thought at least you're going to keep it.
37:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So of of the ways to miss this best way to miss.
37:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelaide your song fills this cavern.
37:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It echoes off the walls.
37:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And as it does, you see the slime mode almost forming the sine waves of your song, which is a little too little arms come out and give a small clap.
38:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it descends.
38:03
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna need everyone here to roll initiative Wait, no, you are not gonna applaud and then attack that is that is delicious No, it's gonna make a wee stab it.
38:16
[SPEAKER_03]: That's nice.
38:17
[SPEAKER_03]: That's good.
38:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We're everyone in that room I'm here.
38:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll have you do it as well, and you can you can we'll keep you in the initiative order if you want to join or if you want to do anything else Okay
38:26
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's a D20 for an issue of what are correct?
38:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, initiative in this game is you are testing your wits.
38:31
[SPEAKER_00]: If you succeed, you will act before the enemy is if you fail you act after.
38:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And you guys can kind of choose your order depending on those groups.
38:39
[SPEAKER_02]: In case, if someone not, I'm not weary, obviously, but if someone was.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: What they have to roll to D20s and take the lower of the two you would have to roll to D20s and take the lower if that's only a But yeah, no one said I was it's are the episodes.
38:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think I am you know I'm so prepared to reward honesty for people who remember things that I don't remember Yeah, wait a minute that might help you out later
39:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, more so tell you.
39:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm weary.
39:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh my god.
39:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so glad you said that because I didn't remember at all.
39:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so yeah, roll with this band.
39:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
39:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't get it.
39:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Should have taken so much for being honest.
39:19
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's so tough.
39:20
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much I have to remember.
39:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so great.
39:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe someone else can do the rolling for the group.
39:24
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
39:25
[SPEAKER_05]: We're not an A.
39:26
[SPEAKER_05]: We say that.
39:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, okay.
39:27
[SPEAKER_05]: No, we want the honest person rolling for the group.
39:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, yes.
39:31
[SPEAKER_07]: Honestly, it's around you.
39:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't trust Abby.
39:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You can.
39:35
[SPEAKER_05]: No!
39:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be able to do it right in front of your face.
39:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Geraldine's a liar.
39:41
[SPEAKER_06]: She's got trick days.
39:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me know what you get.
39:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I rolled two and the...
39:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess it's the higher of the two and the lower of the two.
39:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so I rolled 12.
39:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I assume that's failure based on your stats?
39:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's a failure, Ryan.
40:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Just checking!
40:02
[SPEAKER_03]: That was how you feel, babe.
40:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Winnie, you were the only success in initiative in this group, so you will act first.
40:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, around you, this slime mold is beginning to attack like tendrils of it or coming towards you, but you have a moment to react, what do you do?
40:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my goodness, so I'm going to look at my two siblings when they got it.
40:25
[SPEAKER_03]: My goal if I can is to reach down and snatch this glow warm up by the collar and scamper away with it.
40:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
40:33
[SPEAKER_03]: So get that out of this particular situation.
40:36
[SPEAKER_03]: My sisters are bad asses.
40:37
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll be fine.
40:38
[SPEAKER_00]: In order to do that, I'm going to have you test Grace to see if you can basically like get around this slime mode as it's moving, grab this thing, and get out unscathed.
40:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I love Grace.
40:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've got a one under nine.
40:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hell yeah, critical success.
40:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Eight.
40:54
[SPEAKER_00]: One hundred percent you scoop up this glow worm.
40:58
[SPEAKER_00]: You see the, you kind of throw it over your shoulder.
41:00
[SPEAKER_00]: A little dog tag, a little glow worm tag kind of dangles and you're thinking, that says blueberry on it.
41:07
[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
41:08
[SPEAKER_00]: With a net one, you fully clear this room, you jump over or you climb over, you get this glow fully to safety.
41:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in like the hallway on the other side, as you go on a net one, I'm going to give you one more bonus thing.
41:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you see, as Adelaide gets closer with the torch to the slime mode, it reacts to it and moves away from the heat and fire.
41:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that is perfect.
41:31
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, if I can drop blueberry down, I'm immediately going to turn, try to see if I can get a 20 or eyes on a mirror and then I'm going to turn back.
41:39
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think when I see that, I'm just going to immediately shout across the, you know, the cabin that we're in, it fears fire.
41:49
[SPEAKER_00]: You shut that out all of you here that, however, it is the slime molds turn and the slime mode recognizes what is most scary to it and is going to attack Adelaide.
41:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelaide, I'm going to need you to test grace to try to avoid this attack as a bunch of slime dripping with this almost like acidic touch slides down and tries to grab onto your arm that is holding the torch.
42:11
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, uh, I got an eight on 11.
42:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go.
42:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You move out of the way.
42:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You see this like corrosive.
42:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Clearly like there's some kind of like chemical reaction that is happening inside of the slime mode.
42:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been some kind of like corrosive element on your skin.
42:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But you pull back and as you do, the flame kind of like licks the wall a little bit.
42:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And the slime mode retreats again just a little bit.
42:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the slime mold's turn.
42:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Adelaide, Geraldine, and Amira, all of you are acting on this turn.
42:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna say Adelaide, let's go ahead and start with you since you were the one who's just pulling away this torch.
42:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
42:45
[SPEAKER_05]: So, since I do have the torch, this thing still isn't making any noise other than tummy bubbling noises.
42:53
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to test something because I have just a free, innate ability, a free thing I can do is, is that I can mimic voices and sounds.
43:04
[SPEAKER_05]: I see if it's possible for me to kind of mimic and throw my voice.
43:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Since this is so cavernor, cavernor is, I can talk.
43:14
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, and, and, and sounds tend to bounce off of it.
43:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to see if I can mimic the sound of fire and see if I can use that to confuse it by bouncing it all around the cavern that we're in.
43:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
43:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That is clear.
43:30
[SPEAKER_05]: So look at like noises.
43:32
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like flickering.
43:33
[SPEAKER_05]: And so the netway, as I'm walking around with the fire, it might feel some of the heat, but also maybe it confused about exactly where I'm at to pinpoint me.
43:42
[SPEAKER_05]: That's so cool.
43:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I say go ahead and roll.
43:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there any test you have to do with that?
43:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, this just says a Nate.
43:48
[SPEAKER_05]: So it just says I can mimic voices and sounds with uncanny accuracy.
43:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'll say, um, let's go ahead and test your wits.
43:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying, like, you weren't able to do this.
43:58
[SPEAKER_00]: This is to see how effective this is.
44:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I, my wits were 12.
44:03
[SPEAKER_05]: I rolled a one.
44:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Great, I've got some sense.
44:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You like move to the center of the room where it is further to away from the slime mold, like tendrils that are kind of coming down at all angles from this place.
44:15
[SPEAKER_00]: This room is incredibly dangerous as this thing is just everywhere.
44:19
[SPEAKER_00]: You are moving the torch around the edge and moving the torch around.
44:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting the sensation of the sounds of that.
44:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is reacting to both the heat of the torch.
44:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But also you see some of it is reacting to the sound of it and bits of it are moving around the different areas.
44:52
[SPEAKER_05]: just like that you hear the little like the crackling of the inside of the torch because I feel like that would be the part that would make the most.
44:59
[SPEAKER_05]: So as you hear the little cracks and pops that pop off of the sound or off of the thing, along with I feel like sometimes when you get really close to fire it does have a little bit of like the that like a hum but just like a tiny like a little bit of like a resonance that's also here but it's also like mostly like the so a little bit of the resonance of that a little bit of
45:21
[SPEAKER_05]: The snapping and the popping of the wood as it, as the embers come down, maybe the sounds of a few like falling embers ping-ponging off of the walls.
45:39
[SPEAKER_00]: The rest of the cavern goes quiet, and all you hear is the gurgling sounds of this toxic mode, and then the sounds of fire both real and imitated.
45:50
[SPEAKER_00]: As these sounds begin to bounce around the walls, the toxic slime mode begins to retreat, it begins to like coalesce into its center point.
45:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So the exit is much easier to see.
46:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You also see at this point, as it begins to retreat, the only other door leading out of this area has had some kind of cave in.
46:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems to be a dead end.
46:19
[SPEAKER_00]: On a Nat1, as this thing begins to retreat, you also see it pulls out of some of the shelving that was housing a bunch of these glass bottles that had been broken.
46:29
[SPEAKER_00]: As it retreats back, you see an unbroken glass bottle with a picture of a statue on it.
46:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Still filled with some kind of grayish liquid.
46:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Does anybody else see this or my the only one that sees it?
46:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm staying this moment, you little one that sees it.
46:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, and so how far am I away from that?
46:45
[SPEAKER_00]: On a net one, it's grabable right now.
46:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, perfect, so Adelaide just gonna go ahead and grab it again using the sound of that fire and the fire itself, like I'm moving, like I'm moving my torch ahead in my other hand, the same, like just in case it decides it wants to come after it, and I grab that thing right up.
47:02
[SPEAKER_05]: And I look at it, I examine it, are there any words on it?
47:06
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just a little statue.
47:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a picture of a statue.
47:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the thing that you recognize in this moment is, you don't quite know what this is, spending some time with it.
47:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You can maybe figure it out.
47:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you get out of here, someone will be able to for sure tell you what this is.
47:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, tell us top side, yeah.
47:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, perfect.
47:21
[SPEAKER_05]: So that I'm gonna go ahead and we've got blueberry the bug.
47:26
[SPEAKER_05]: We've got everyone, so it feels like I can go ahead and take this and start making my retreat.
47:31
[SPEAKER_05]: I have four torches.
47:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
47:34
[SPEAKER_05]: So as I'm doing that, I take that and I put that in my satchel, I take out one of my other torches using that one to light it and then I leave one of the lit torches in the middle of the room as I'm still making noise and holding the other torches I make my retreat to go head up so someone else can tell me what the hell that thing is or what this liquid is.
47:55
[SPEAKER_00]: You leave this torch in the center, you see as this slime motor was retreating back to like its coalescing point like the point where it was originated from by leaving this torch here it begins to be buffeted back almost by this heat shield of fire it is confused It doesn't have the sensory apparatus to figure out that this isn't a threat to it really and you begin to back out of the room
48:19
[SPEAKER_00]: For the moment, this is certainly a thing you can take care like you could destroy this thing, but it is essentially sequestered and defeated unless you guys want to engage.
48:30
[SPEAKER_00]: At this point, you guys want to retreat or do you want to continue engaging with it?
48:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, hell, this is neutralized and it doesn't seem to be moving from this area right now, right?
48:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with the placement of that torch, it literally like can't.
48:42
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's the way we came, it's the only way back out, the other entrance kept in.
48:48
[SPEAKER_00]: As the slime mode, like retreated, you see, there was another entrance, so there was another passage that has been caved in.
48:53
[SPEAKER_07]: That's been caved in.
48:55
[SPEAKER_07]: I guess we're going right then to the bees?
48:59
[SPEAKER_07]: To the bees!
49:01
[SPEAKER_02]: As you guys turn out of the room, you see a mirror standing where the liquid was.
49:06
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of the liquid has now been scooped up and she's like sitting at top of it.
49:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Like she's like, you know, like frighting like mad, like a, like a human ransom horse.
49:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, shut up.
49:18
[SPEAKER_06]: Tell me more about that.
49:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she's like holding one of the bottles of like rage, but like has like shoved like a cloth and like a Molotov cocktail Oh my god, and it says highly flammable underneath the butt like in the bottle.
49:34
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a bubble You know in like caution marks highly flammable Gaze upon me sisters.
49:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I Amira right upon my lover
49:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Where is the beast?
49:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I said it on fire.
49:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I like a little match with it in your box.
49:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you making another Amiratoth cocktail?
49:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I don't know.
49:59
[SPEAKER_07]: And I have a cocktail.
50:02
[SPEAKER_07]: You know I usually love when she makes those.
50:04
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, except I can just kick that up places.
50:08
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we are eating tight tight spot.
50:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Where do I throw it?
50:12
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe you hold on to that for later.
50:14
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe we don't do it right now.
50:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Am I too late?
50:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Did I?
50:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
50:19
[SPEAKER_07]: Adelaide, really got the Adelaide and Winnie.
50:22
[SPEAKER_07]: Sure dude.
50:23
[SPEAKER_07]: They guys see it up, but you clear that part up.
50:25
[SPEAKER_07]: Plus on the floor, that's pretty impressive.
50:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thank thanks.
50:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm making direct anchor attack out of my mouth, don't you?
50:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Matt, Matt, can you spin off?
50:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt just goes, no.
50:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And just puts his whole mouth around the Molotov cocktail in a way that sucks all the oxygen out.
50:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And then as the opens his mouth, it's just...
50:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, Matt.
50:53
[SPEAKER_07]: Smoke rings.
50:54
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and then he blows his mouth rings.
50:55
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
50:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I love you so much, Matt.
50:58
[UNKNOWN]: Good boy.
51:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, we have...
51:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
51:03
[SPEAKER_00]: As Amira is like, it has cleaned up enough of this mess.
51:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Amira, I'm gonna say you have two bottles, like two little flasks of this stuff.
51:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so cool.
51:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll write down some stuff of what these things will do.
51:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Essentially, you have like a wild magic potion.
51:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It is awesome.
51:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
51:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna do some stuff.
51:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You will never know what it is until you do it.
51:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
51:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You've cleaned up enough that it is easy to walk through the space and make your way back to that initial junction.
51:35
[SPEAKER_00]: When you first turn left and now you see that right path now slightly glowing green with blueberry kind of spinning around your guys's legs and like sort of climbing up you like climbing up you like a dog would of like I want love.
51:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me get up there.
51:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this is a good, close up, good blueberry, you're the best blueberry, you're all blueberry belly scratching.
51:58
[SPEAKER_05]: It's blueberry just all belly would blueberry be all belly.
52:02
[SPEAKER_00]: All belly.
52:03
[SPEAKER_03]: All belly.
52:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, every thing's a belly scratch or blueberry So near this is sort of like a legless stuff.
52:11
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, horse legless Legless horse.
52:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll put it over you like this horse.
52:16
[SPEAKER_02]: This is Matt.
52:16
[SPEAKER_02]: This is my primary lover and I Love
52:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
52:27
[SPEAKER_07]: It's got a different kind of, it's like how I love it.
52:30
[SPEAKER_07]: I love the cordasons, not the word we've been.
52:35
[SPEAKER_02]: The way I'm just looking at that, this is like a story.
52:37
[SPEAKER_02]: The love of my life, Matt.
52:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Matt.
52:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like the way that you love your best friend.
52:45
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, yeah.
52:46
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like, you know, you fall in love with like a person and then they like turn into a horse.
52:50
[SPEAKER_05]: Type thing is kind of what it was, Matt, dude.
52:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, wait.
52:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And I might not told you all that.
53:01
[SPEAKER_05]: And me or I just looking at like, I'd like to use the eyes or like, why does saucers and what?
53:08
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a dude.
53:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Mets of prince.
53:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Mets of prince.
53:13
[SPEAKER_07]: Mets of prince?
53:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're supposed to be get married, man, but he's a horse, so I need to get the tears of the unicorn to free him from the horse curse so that he can be with you.
53:26
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of the lore are fighting in front of you, Matt.
53:30
[SPEAKER_04]: You Maxine Autovish!
53:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Was it not?
53:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought I told you, would you not get my letter, oh, you didn't get my letter, man, cut the mail, it's not good.
53:40
[SPEAKER_02]: The mail is not good.
53:41
[SPEAKER_05]: Adelaide starts looking through the old letters and like finds the letter from America.
53:47
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, I never had a letter.
53:49
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm weird, did you not think it was weird that we never asked you about this?
53:54
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's just all you know, we're...
53:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Celine was missing so that was kind of taking press it in and then I thought you just wanted to find the unicorn because it's just over.
54:04
[SPEAKER_02]: You're also supportive of my unicorn conquest.
54:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought you all knew.
54:07
[SPEAKER_05]: No, we just like support you on stuff.
54:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
54:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, generally, I think I'm surprised you're kind of show with this.
54:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is Prince Matthew.
54:15
[SPEAKER_02]: The guy I kind of stole from you or it can mean nothing.
54:18
[SPEAKER_05]: It's meant you do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
54:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, nice to be here with you, uh, like this horse.
54:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You, you look over and Blueberry has disappeared, and you turn around and Blueberry is riding Matt.
54:55
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no!
55:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Good, but my, the best boy.
55:04
[SPEAKER_04]: So many things are starting to make so much sense down.
55:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Amir is giving like Matt, like a little, uh, combing Matt's hair.
55:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, with like a little brush.
55:14
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh.
55:16
[SPEAKER_02]: and then she like licks her hands and like shapes it up to make it look like a little like their cloth.
55:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the cloth.
55:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's at this moment.
55:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Geraldine you recognize this too.
55:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt does like a little like and like flicks his mane around and it lands in a perfect like curl cloth that instantly you recognize as Prince Matthew.
55:35
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden it all clicks in the place.
55:38
[SPEAKER_07]: You know I always thought that I liked Matt and didn't really understand why Matt wasn't a big fan of Geraldine over here, but it's starting to make sense.
55:48
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all coming together.
55:49
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow.
55:51
[SPEAKER_07]: Geraldine's like full-doing like a thousand-yard stare just trying to think back through every interaction she's ever had with Matt.
56:00
[SPEAKER_07]: The course.
56:00
[SPEAKER_07]: And being like, was that weird?
56:03
[SPEAKER_07]: My ex-boyfriend?
56:05
[SPEAKER_07]: He just- this is- was that strange?
56:07
[SPEAKER_07]: Should I not have said that?
56:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know.
56:12
[SPEAKER_05]: We're standing on your feet.
56:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, the potion made a mirror till the truth and then gave everyone else anxiety.
56:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of Matt's behavior, a couple of days, like kind of clicks into place.
56:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Few, like, there are times when you are saying things or doing things the way that Matt just all of a sudden just leaves, you recognize that once everything's in place, you're like, oh, this is someone being respectful and leaving and things now I understand.
56:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But as a force, it was really weird every time.
56:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Man.
56:50
[SPEAKER_00]: As this revelation sinks in, again from that right tunnel you hear, surrounded by this buzzing of a hive, and that strange hypnotic buzz of a singular queen bee.
