  SPEAKER_03: We start out going to Captain Valera, I believe.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_03: To try and give her information and check in with Captain Valera.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_03: We wanted to warn her that we believed that an attack was imminent.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, retributive attack because we kind of fucked up Throck's camp and we took all of his prisoner.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_03: All of their tasty little morsels of children.
• 2:02
  unknown: Yeah.
• 2:02

  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_03: The man that she believes is a capital D devil.

  SPEAKER_03: He's also a capital D dick.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_03: Is he a capital D devil?
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a liberty say.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_03: He is a capital D dick, though.

  SPEAKER_03: There's that as well.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_03: So, anyways, I am Oleander Hawthorne.

  SPEAKER_03: Here we have Delphine Olendra, DM Stu, and Drunken Beard Nurse.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: Did I get it right?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: You did.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: You got it right this time.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: Every once in a while I feel like I'm saying the wrong name.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_03: Um, one of the first things that we did in the episode after giving the warning to Captain Valera, we dropped my companion guy off at the manor.
• 2:57
  unknown: Yes.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_03: He wasn't doing too hot.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: He was pretty uh not feeling all that great.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, dropped him off at the manor so that he could uh get some healing time in because he was he was feeling poorly.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_03: A little bit, but it's okay, he got better.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: For a little bit.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: For a little bit.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: A little while.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: Just like a day.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Not even a day, like an hour.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, not even.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: Was it that quick?
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: He was like, you rest here for now for all eternity.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_03: Now, one of my favorite things that we did after we dropped off Guy to get better was we went shopping.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_03: Shopping's not important.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: We went to Madame Eldresa.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_03: Madame Eldresa.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: We wanted to find ourselves a fortune teller to give us some.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_03: People wanted to find a fortune teller.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_03: Others didn't want anything fucking to do with fortune tellers.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_03: No, we we wanted a fortune teller except for her because she didn't want anybody to know anything about her.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_03: Now, I am going to get uh Madame Aldressa here to state what she told each of Well first you should say who went.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, so Einar.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: Was it me?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_03: Drax Okay.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_03: Einar, Drax, and Oleander went to see Madame Eldressa.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_03: And uh Okay, so first thing she said was to Einar.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_03: Bloop! Yeah, oh yeah, you got your glass one.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: You may already know what my answer is.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: When the three ro wandering signs align, a child When the three wandering stars align, a child of the blood moon shall bear the ink of the shadows.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: The ink is both your shield but is also your chain.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Beware, for as a crimson eye awakens again, the shadow that you carry shall hunger for your soul.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: To protect those you love, you must consider giving the gift back to the darkness from which it came.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: You were born under very special circumstances, and that has imbued you with powers that nobody else has.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_03: There you go.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_03: So that is what Einar was told.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_03: Arnar Einar.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_03: At no point will I read anything out loud better.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_03: So don't mind the criticism because I would have hell been a hell of a lot worse, because I can't even talk.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_03: So that's okay.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so Einar has had the thought multiple times that he at some point is gonna have to give up his ink, and he doesn't like this idea.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_03: But who knows what the future will hold for him.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, everything within our game is always an option.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um I never have anything finite.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, whatever Einar decides to do is what Einar decides to do, and that's that'll be part of it.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: There's never like a for sure you must do this or you know the DM's gonna kill your character.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's always I always have options, right?
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I like to give little digs and little pointers out there throughout the game because I don't know, it keeps it interesting.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Gives you a a target to either shoot for or I'm not gonna let that happen to me, kind of thing, right?
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: I mean most players and most characters will do great with adversity, and that's I mean, I think everybody will probably argue that's all our campaign is is adversity.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: A little bit, just a little bit.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: Um so Einar's got his little dilemma that he's gonna have to deal with.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_03: Drax, on the other hand, was given this little ambiguity.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot about this.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: The steels that are forged in waters that are dull with time, but yours was cast in fire and shadow, twinned and tethered.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Three echoes shall rise, but only one shall remain.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: To be more than the blade, you must bleed for the truth.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Your test is not in victory, but in who watches you fall.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: You are a haunted band, but not by death, but by expectation.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: You think yourself forged already, proven in battles, but the forge was Julian's, and the anvil is your brother's shadow.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Your test is not yet to come, but it is nigh. 'Tis nigh.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: How nigh now.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: Bill Night.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_02: See, I find Drax is uh the most interesting.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_03: Is his prophecy is the most interesting up to it.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's my favorite.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: I really think he's forgotten about it, to be honest with you.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, probably.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_03: 100%.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_03: Like half a year ago.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was a billion years ago.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: He's 100%.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: But no one reads the Google Doc.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: So now you gotta stop saying that.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Because I read your Google Doc.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, you read the Google Google.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: You gave me so much shit for it.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: So I read the whole damn thing.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I forgot about half of this.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote all of it.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_03: Why it's good to be there.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_03: I do enjoy it.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_03: I like the three echoes shall rise.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: Now, I assume, because he's got his one echo right now, I assume that that means I assume it means him.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_03: He's he's gonna get um he's gonna get a second Mr.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: Drax, and it'll be Mr.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_03: Mr.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_03: Drax.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's him, his regular echo, and Mr.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: Drax.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_03: And then we assume that Drax is gonna die and he's gonna have to become Mr.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_03: Drax.
• 8:48
  unknown: Shut up.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_03: You're about to be.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: Well that's the beauty of it, right?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's not determined, right?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's open to interpretation, it's open to whatever Drax decides his prophecy is gonna be, right?
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: Prophecies are fickle things.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: They are fickle.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, they mean all sorts of randomized things.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: Now, Oleander uh did not actually get a prophecy.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_03: Didn't you?
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_03: No, I got I got a little telling.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: I got I got Did you get that the the fortune cookie where it's like, hey, you're a great guy.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_03: That's that's really good fortune.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_03: Now hold on.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: I got I got I got this little tidbit because she couldn't actually she tried reading and she got no reading, but then she said, But I can tell you this.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: A laugh in the dark and a hand at your back, a spark that once led you astray.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: The song you follow was never yours.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Your dance to another's refrain.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: But the notes, they are not done yet, and neither is he.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Or file fire meets melody, truth shall bleed, and he who shoots has one final shot.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_02: Now, is that still valid?
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like a horde.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Almost, actually.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_03: Is that still valid considering we don't know?
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_03: See, the thing I like about that is the the All prophecies can be changed.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: They can.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: They're fickle.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_03: They're fickle things.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_03: I like the fact that it's saying that the song that I follow was not my own.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Because you're following in Einar Switz.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_03: Like, is that am I following.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: What the fuck does Einar have to do with it?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not talking about that.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I guess that's later.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: Am I following in Guy's?
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_03: Like, is it Guy's melody?
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: Or was it thought he was?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: Or is it grandfather's melody that I'm following?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: Because either way, the paths that I'm following were not my own.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I still like the idea of their grandfather's Vecna.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_03: I really, but I really think it'd be really funny.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: It would be awesome.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: It'd be really funny.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: So I mean, I just either either way, no matter what it actually meant, I just find it really interesting that no matter what path I was following, it wasn't mine.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I make these prophecies up and I sell that to you.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Don't think for a second that I know what they mean.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_03: This is true.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's a fact.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: It unfolds naturally, it becomes its own entity.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's hence the phrase self-fulfilling prophecy.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, yeah.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_03: Because we gotta fulfill it ourselves.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like, yes.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_03: So uh after we left the most amazing fortune teller that we have ever experienced, who very, very thoroughly.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_03: We all wanted a piece of joke.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: Madame Eldressa and Yashin really wanted a piece of job.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: We uh we've never enjoyed us.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: He is a hot piece of ass.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, awfully buff.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_03: He's a himbo.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: He's a big buff guy.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: Shredded, if you will.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: He's the big buff dude in the crew.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: You've got Einar, who's got short man syndrome, right?
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Then you've got Druken, who's just this big hulking, bearded tree.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like a tree of a man.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's true.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have, you know, Rold, who is, you know, Mr.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: Sulk off in a tree and not talk to anybody.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: Uh just but not that tree.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: But not that tree.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: I climb Druk and Sulk inside out there.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's just weird.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: That is weird.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to call that.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: This is a tree that stands alone.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: You like an int.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: Are you the ant who like catches on fire and then dunces his head in the when the they release the river at Isengard?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: That would work.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_03: I like that ant.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: So we're all very concerned for that ant.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody is.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_03: And we like the head duncan.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_03: Now, after we left the uh fortune teller, we cut over to the other half of the party, which is Delphine, Drunken, Rold, and Mr.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: Drax.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: Uh the next involved thing is that Drunken actually went to seek out the Raven Queen and to pray to her.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_03: Now, it's been a long time.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't remember.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_03: He does not remember what she said, so I will summarize.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_03: You have failed me.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds about right.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: You have not fulfilled your duties to me.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: What have you done in my name?
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds right.
• 13:26
  unknown: Yeah.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's all right here.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm summarizing.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: So pretty much I'm the worst person ever.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: You're the worst champion she's ever had as a champion.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: You're really terrible.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Is that right, there's two?
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: There's nowhere to go but up for you.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: I can't get any lower.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're out.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: You can't get any lower.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: She's so disappointed with you, all you can do is improve.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's this is a bonus.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: This is a good thing.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Just pretend that you care.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: I too.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: I did good after that.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: To be fair to Drovian, she is awfully like Mercurial in her design.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: She's just awful.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: She is.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: She's a bitch.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_03: She's a bitch.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: She's a bitch.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_03: Delphine agrees now.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: She's a bitch.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'm glad that everyone almost.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: I draw, I draw and upon I draw upon a lot of experience in my life to create, yeah, to create the Raven Queen.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: I met quite a few.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_03: He's looking in our direction now.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: I ain't done shit.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_03: I would like to stare and I might have done some shit.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: That he has already stated once that he's scared today when I was talking.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_03: She's very pointing a lot and being really loud.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: I said that.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, was that you?
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_03: No, he said that.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I guess mean we both said that.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: We both said it.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, there you go.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_03: Frenchman.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck, it must be true then.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: It must be true.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_03: Apparently I'm scary.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_03: Otherwise, that day, um, we did some shopping and we told we got scammed by a magic dealer who I hope his shop is burned down.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_03: He's an asshole.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_03: But it was really funny.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's dangling.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_03: That is where I got the friendship bracelet for Mr.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_03: Drex.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_03: That friendship bracelet has given us a lot of joy.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_03: Before we even went to Madame, Eldorissa is when Delphine did a sending to Theron to warn him about stuff.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yes.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: What now tell us what information you've gained from your sendings.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_03: So she she first let him know where she was, because the last he knew is we were in troublesome.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_03: And all of a sudden we're back in Crystalboro.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_03: And he has just left Crystalboro like a couple days before that, I think, at this point in time.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: Cause by the way, this is day 36 of the first episode.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's day 36 of the campaign.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I think he left about day 33.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: So he's been on the road for a few days back to Silvery Moon.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: And Delphine let him know that we were back in Crystalboro.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_03: She'd already let him know what we did at Brock's Encampment and blowing it all up.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_03: And was letting him know that the leadership here in Crystalboro seemed quite fractured because everyone didn't really know what the fuck they were doing.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's when he said he was a day and a half outside of Silver and Moon, and there was an attack on the road of the other party that was being sent to meet him.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: But he didn't know who the other emissary was going to be.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so that was part of the warning that you guys were trying to give Captain Valera was the fact that the emissary was waylaid by attack.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: And that he that at that point in time he was already um assuming there's treachery in Sol Remove.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know, is just does DM wanna.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: Or is this still to be determined, discovered things in here?

  SPEAKER_00: I ain't telling you shit.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: Let's try.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: I am not nearly drunk enough.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: I am not really nearly drunk enough to give you a more drink.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_03: But you could be.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: That was the first, aside from everything that was going on in Crystal Boro already that we knew about, that was sort of the first sign that there was treachery beyond Crystal Boro and that there was gonna possibly be a problem in the Silverman, but we of course did not know yet what that problem was gonna be.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 17:06
  unknown: Yeah.
