• 3:55
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah, he said.
• 3:56
  Skyler: He always gives one.
• 3:57
  Skyler: And that was one of them.
• 3:58
  Skyler: It was either that he doesn't like or is afraid of soap or it
• 4:01
  Skyler: was that he uses crystals.
• 4:03
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Fatty Lumpkins: So does that mean I could just add something?

• 4:07
  Fatty Lumpkins: I think just make it crazy.
• 4:09
  Fatty Lumpkins: Has a crippling fear of bananas.
• 4:11
  Fatty Lumpkins: I think he is afraid of yellow.
• 4:13
  Skyler: He's afraid of yellow, and he's afraid of water, which is less

  Skyler: relevant, but I digress.
• 4:18
  Fatty Lumpkins: Crippling fear of bananas.
• 4:20
  Skyler: That fits.
• 4:20
  Skyler: Maybe that's where the fear of yellow came from.
• 4:22
  Fatty Lumpkins: Maybe.
• 4:23
  Skyler: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 4:25
  Fatty Lumpkins: You had a run in with, like.
• 4:26
  Dave (Maki): A bad banana.
• 4:28
  Fatty Lumpkins: Banana.
• 4:30

• 4:38
  Skyler: No, no. Printed on a Kraken.
• 4:40
  Skyler: Yeah.

  Fatty Lumpkins: Now, oddly enough, plantains totally chill.
• 4:44
  Fatty Lumpkins: Bananas.
• 4:45
  Skyler: That's a big no no.
• 4:46
  Fatty Lumpkins: Big no no.
• 4:46
  Skyler: He's more of a what is he, a freak guy?
• 4:48
  Skyler: I guess so.
• 4:49
  Skyler: I don't know, a good plantain
• 4:50
  Skyler: like a chip or a fried
• 4:52
  Skyler: plantains.
• 4:53
  Skyler: In college, I bought a bunch of plantains, thinking they were
• 4:56
  Skyler: bananas and green when I bought them, so I put them on the
• 4:59
  Skyler: little like, banana hook thing on the fruit basket.
• 5:01
  Skyler: I waited for three weeks.
• 5:03
  Skyler: I was thinking like, okay, these got to get ripe at some point.
• 5:06
  Skyler: They never changed color.
• 5:08
  Skyler: And I was like, I thought there was some big bananas.
• 5:09
  Skyler: So I like opened it up, I ate it, it's not, oh, I was waiting
• 5:13
  Skyler: for you to say like you took a nice big bite out of it.
• 5:15
  Skyler: Oh no, I did, oh I did, I
• 5:17
  Skyler: quickly found out it was a
• 5:18
  Skyler: plantain after I ate it and
• 5:20
  Skyler: after I waited like three weeks
• 5:21
  Skyler: for those quote unquote bananas
• 5:23
  Skyler: to ripen.
• 5:23
  Skyler: Our plantains also considered a fruit, I'm assuming.
• 5:27
  Connor (Dez): I think I imagine so, but not prepared.
• 5:30
  Connor (Dez): They don't taste like a very
• 5:31
  Connor (Dez): like a sweet fruit that we think
• 5:33
  Connor (Dez): of.
• 5:33
  Connor (Dez): But hey, there's some weird fruits out there.
• 5:35
  Connor (Dez): There are some weird fruits out there that do non sweet things
• 5:38
  Connor (Dez): and other things.
• 5:39
  Dave (Maki): We love a good freaky fruit.
• 5:40
  Connor (Dez): I do, I do, I truly do.
• 5:41
  Connor (Dez): That's one of my favorite things to do.
• 5:43
  Connor (Dez): Anyway.
• 5:43
  Connor (Dez): With that being said, uh, you probably wondering who the heck
• 5:46
  Connor (Dez): is this me character?
• 5:47
  Connor (Dez): That's me.
• 5:48
  Connor (Dez): Skyler.
• 5:48
  Connor (Dez): I'm the game master and I'm excited.
• 5:52
  Connor (Dez): I'm excited that the we're kind of working into sort of some
• 5:54
  Connor (Dez): final chapter stuff here.
• 5:56
  Connor (Dez): So with that being said, we're
• 5:57
  Connor (Dez): going to jump right back into
• 5:58
  Connor (Dez): the action with the newest
• 6:01
  Connor (Dez): episode of Criminals of Isla
• 6:05
  Connor (Dez): Numis.
• 6:11
  Connor (Dez): All right.
• 6:12
  Connor (Dez): Where we left things off, you guys had broken into Alexandria.

  Dave (Maki): What would I do without my one hundred gold pieces for the
• 6:28
  Dave (Maki): clown mask that you gave me?
• 6:30
  Dave (Maki): Yes, that was probably the best part.
• 6:32
  Connor (Dez): Um, with that being said, speaking of Maki, you guys.
• 6:35
  Connor (Dez): Batman, it all tied to Maki hanging off of him, flying
• 6:39
  Connor (Dez): through the air.
• 6:41
  Connor (Dez): Uh, as you guys made your way over to the Cult of Ascendancy,
• 6:44
  Connor (Dez): which you guys had attended one of their meetings before, but
• 6:47
  Connor (Dez): this time it was different because this time they did in
• 6:51
  Connor (Dez): fact, find the chosen one that they had been looking for.
• 6:54
  Connor (Dez): And to top it off, it was
• 6:56
  Connor (Dez): someone that you guys have
• 6:57
  Connor (Dez): already met, the halfling, the
• 7:00
  Connor (Dez): trouble causing jury sitting
• 7:03
  Connor (Dez): kid.
• 7:04
  Connor (Dez): Uh, pretty much barely even an adult.
• 7:06
  Connor (Dez): He's like an eighteen year old young adult.
• 7:09
  Connor (Dez): And he was in fact picked as the chosen one.
• 7:13
  Connor (Dez): What that means we will have to see in the future.
• 7:17
  Connor (Dez): Yes.
• 7:18
  Connor (Dez): In the meantime, you guys, the meeting has come to an end.
• 7:22
  Connor (Dez): People are filing out of this large auditorium space.

  Connor (Dez): Uh, and are heading back into two or ideally towards their
• 7:33
  Connor (Dez): homes in Isla Nunez.
• 7:35
  Connor (Dez): Uh, you do notice that there are a couple of guards that, uh,
• 7:38
  Connor (Dez): have been here all with cloaks?
• 7:40
  Connor (Dez): They're, they're kind of one of them is urgently running around
• 7:43
  Connor (Dez): whispering to each other, I guess, to ironically, keep their
• 7:46
  Connor (Dez): eye out for an invisible person.
• 7:48
  Connor (Dez): The one thing that you really can't do for an invisible
• 7:51
  Connor (Dez): person, but I digress.
• 7:52
  Connor (Dez): You guys are all sitting there.
• 7:53
  Connor (Dez): What are you doing?
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: So I, I guess they found the chosen one.
• 7:57
  Skyler: Can we try and go find where they're.

• 8:04
  Dave (Maki): Just ushered him backstage.
• 8:05

  Skyler: They usher him to the side we went or the other side.
• 8:13
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, it was the same side you went.
• 8:14
  Skyler: Oh, well, let's go find Mr. Sprout.

• 11:35
  Connor (Dez): Oh, Legionnaires.
• 11:36
  Connor (Dez): Oh, man.
• 11:37
  Connor (Dez): So there's not a group called the Loogies.
• 11:38
  Connor (Dez): Because, I mean, that's why what we could start calling them.
• 11:41
  Connor (Dez): Do it, do it.
• 11:42
  Connor (Dez): Oh, I thought you guys were gonna start it.
• 11:46
  Connor (Dez): The Luigi's, you know, like you go around, you just spit on
• 11:49
  Connor (Dez): stuff, you know?
• 11:50
  Connor (Dez): That'd be great.
• 11:51
  Connor (Dez): I'd get a chuckle.
• 11:53
  Connor (Dez): Mark.
• 11:53
  Connor (Dez): You would probably say freak.
• 11:55
  Connor (Dez): He's a freak.
• 11:56
  Connor (Dez): Freak?
• 11:59
  Connor (Dez): Uh, Lee.
• 11:59
  Connor (Dez): What?
• 12:00
  Connor (Dez): Legionnaires.
• 12:01
  Connor (Dez): Uh, it rings a bell.
• 12:02
  Connor (Dez): I'm doing this thing called the ascendancy.
• 12:05
  Connor (Dez): Ascendancy?
• 12:07
  Connor (Dez): That's weird.
• 12:09
  Connor (Dez): Okay, he has no idea about this.
• 12:11
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, I keep in mind, I really.
• 12:13
  Connor (Dez): I mean, until you guys got thrown in here.
• 12:15
  Connor (Dez): I really didn't look into what
• 12:17
  Connor (Dez): was I. Is it possible for the
• 12:20
  Connor (Dez): people who were here before us
• 12:22
  Connor (Dez): to leave?
• 12:23
  Connor (Dez): No.
• 12:25
  Connor (Dez): Interesting.
• 12:27
  Connor (Dez): Nope.
• 12:27
  Connor (Dez): Wait.
• 12:28
  Connor (Dez): Except for little sauce.
• 12:30
  Connor (Dez): Right.
• 12:32
  Connor (Dez): Okay.
• 12:32
  Connor (Dez): Which.
• 12:33
  Connor (Dez): Hey, you know, that's a big sacrifice for me because it took
• 12:36
  Connor (Dez): a lot of doing to get the souls to spill into this place.
• 12:41
  Skyler: Uh.
• 12:41
  Connor (Dez): Okay. Don't want to open that can of worms.
• 12:44
  Connor (Dez): Um, okay.
• 12:45
  Connor (Dez): Do we have any other question?
• 12:46
  Connor (Dez): And dealing.
• 12:47
  Connor (Dez): Do we have any other questions?
• 12:49
  Skyler: Yeah, I'd like to level up.
• 12:51
  Connor (Dez): No, not right now.
• 12:52
  Skyler: No. Right now.
• 12:53
  Connor (Dez): Just eventually.
• 12:54
  Connor (Dez): We don't have money.
• 12:55
  Connor (Dez): Once you get.
• 12:55
  Connor (Dez): Once you get the funds.
• 12:56
  Skyler: How much is it for a big token again?
• 12:58
  Connor (Dez): Uh.
• 12:59
  Skyler: I believe it was one thousand.
• 13:01
  Dave (Maki): I think it was.
• 13:01
  Skyler: one thousand five hundred for a small.
• 13:04
  Skyler: He has two hundred.
• 13:05
  Skyler: Never mind.
• 13:07
  Connor (Dez): You don't even have enough.
• 13:08
  Skyler: I got two thousand one hundred tickets, though.
• 13:10
  Connor (Dez): Cool.
• 13:11
  Skyler: I can buy some of them.
• 13:12
  Connor (Dez): We don't have the time.
• 13:14
  Connor (Dez): Little sauce.
• 13:14
  Connor (Dez): You're a special little boy.
• 13:16
  Connor (Dez): Oh, boy, oh, boy.
• 13:18
  Skyler: Sorry, daddy.
• 13:19
  Skyler: Okay. Have a great day.
• 13:20
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 13:20
  Connor (Dez): I gotta get back to this play.
• 13:22
  Connor (Dez): Oh, you answered it in the play.
• 13:24
  Connor (Dez): You're one of those people.
• 13:25
  Connor (Dez): Oh, yeah.
• 13:26
  Connor (Dez): Everybody's looking at me right now.
• 13:28
  Connor (Dez): Keep it going.
• 13:29
  Connor (Dez): Anyway, see you guys later.
• 13:32
  Connor (Dez): So what did we learn there?
• 13:34
  Connor (Dez): Uh, if anything, he has no idea what's going on, So, I mean,
• 13:37
  Connor (Dez): these Legionnaires are probably going to blow up this whole
• 13:40
  Connor (Dez): inside planet for no reason.
• 13:42
  Connor (Dez): Can I get inside check to try to read something into that?
• 13:46
  Connor (Dez): To read what specifically?
• 13:48
  Connor (Dez): Well, just like the whole situation.
• 13:51
  Connor (Dez): Oh, yeah.
• 13:51
  Connor (Dez): Inside of you is lying about the
• 13:53
  Connor (Dez): pretender thing because we said
• 13:55
  Connor (Dez): we can ask him yes or no
• 13:56
  Connor (Dez): questions, but we also kind of
• 13:58
  Connor (Dez): learned that he can just lie to
• 14:00
  Connor (Dez): us.
• 14:00
  Connor (Dez): Well, he hasn't, or at least we know that's true.
• 14:04
  Connor (Dez): You have no insight on that.
• 14:06
  Connor (Dez): When we asked him the pretender
• 14:07
  Connor (Dez): question, insight was a twenty
• 14:09
  Connor (Dez): nine twenty.
• 14:10
  Connor (Dez): Not natural.
• 14:11
  Connor (Dez): He has never been.
• 14:13
  Connor (Dez): Well, as far as he's aware, he's
• 14:15
  Connor (Dez): never been referred to as the
• 14:16
  Connor (Dez): pretender.
• 14:16
  Connor (Dez): That when he was, he was about
• 14:18
  Connor (Dez): to get into a whole thing about
• 14:19
  Connor (Dez): like, there's, there's a whole
• 14:21
  Connor (Dez): God of trickery and stuff like
• 14:23
  Connor (Dez): that, basically a Loki type
• 14:25
  Connor (Dez): character.
• 14:25
  Connor (Dez): That's the guy that would be
• 14:27
  Connor (Dez): referred to as a pretender, not
• 14:28
  Connor (Dez): not jargon.
• 14:29
  Connor (Dez): He's just the god of betting and stuff.
• 14:32
  Connor (Dez): I would say the only thing that
• 14:34
  Connor (Dez): you can think of is the fact
• 14:36
  Connor (Dez): that.
• 14:37
  Connor (Dez): And this is at best, this is the
• 14:39
  Connor (Dez): best argument you could come up
• 14:40
  Connor (Dez): with as far as referring to
• 14:41
  Connor (Dez): judge him as a quote unquote
• 14:42
  Connor (Dez): pretender is the fact that he
• 14:44
  Connor (Dez): himself was disguised as just a
• 14:46
  Connor (Dez): deep gnome when you guys ran
• 14:48
  Connor (Dez): into him.
• 14:49
  Connor (Dez): Uh, he was just chilling, but he never like, I wouldn't say that
• 14:52
  Connor (Dez): he was trying to trick you into anything, per se.
• 14:55
  Connor (Dez): He just wanted to make bets.
• 14:57
  Connor (Dez): Oh, no. He just wanted to run.
• 14:58
  Connor (Dez): I don't think we were asking.
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: More if he was the pretender for that purpose.
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: We were asking, like, if he's the pretender, then we're the
• 15:05
  Speaker 11: strangers it was talking about.
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: Sure, but if he's not the pretender.
• 15:09
  Connor (Dez): He's.
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: Then we're not the strangers he's talking about.
• 15:12
  Connor (Dez): Just to clarify, he himself is completely unaware of anyone.
• 15:17
  Connor (Dez): So he could be the pretender.
• 15:20
  Connor (Dez): And that is honest.
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: But he has nothing to do with it.
• 15:22
  Connor (Dez): Correct.
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah. He's ever leave a, like a bottle of milk in your cooler
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: box and it goes bad and you like, remember it?
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: Way in the back, like a month later.
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 12: It smells two months later.
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: Smells really bad.
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: From when you left it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: It became something completely different.
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: Took on a new life of its own.
• 15:46
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, I did that with a rice cooker once.
• 15:48
  Speaker 13: Aren't you in a play?
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: What if.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: What if this world is his bottle of milk?
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, so it's not like wine now.
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: You know, he he's neglected it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: He just said he's.
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: He kind of didn't check on it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 13: Stuffed souls in here.
• 16:05
  Speaker 12: And left these people, this ascendancy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 12: They've been apparently aware
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: that they're in a not the real
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: world.
• 16:13
  Speaker 12: Mhm.
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: They've been trying to get out.
• 16:15
  Speaker 13: Wait. There's real people here, remember?
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: There's two of them, Jim told us.
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: And they've been here for a long time.
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: That would explain how they know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah. They're probably the two that started this and they
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: probably trying to figure out because Jim said they both had
• 16:31
  Speaker 13: different goals to get out of here that weren't ours.
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: Did he ever tell us the name?
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: Didn't tell us the names.
• 16:38
  Speaker 13: He didn't also tell us the name.
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: Their goals too.
• 16:41
  Speaker 13: He just said they weren't to collect a million gold like us.
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: Mhm. Were they?
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: Well, didn't he just say that they couldn't get out?
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 16:48
  Connor (Dez): That was that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: Was the hidden truth.
• 16:50
  Speaker 13: He never told them because he thought it'd be funny never to
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: tell them that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 12: Well, that's not funny.
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: That mask keeps slipping down your face.
• 17:01
  Speaker 14: That's such a great idea.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: Like the mask literally just slips down, and it just.
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: And he doesn't notice.
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: Oh, I love that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 14: That's a great idea.
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: So what you're saying.
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: So the running theory then is Jim put this place on autopilot
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: forgetting about it until.
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: Well, I made him really pissed
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: off at us and he tossed us in
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: here.
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: But in the meantime, those two people who he trapped in here a
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: long time ago, he said, have been trying to figure a way out.
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: All the while he's been ignoring them.
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: He's probably been putting them on read this whole time.
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: He might not even giving him a magic rock.
• 17:39
  Speaker 13: He might have took their magic rock and gave it to us.
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: That sounds.
• 17:44
  Connor (Dez): Like something.
• 17:45
  Connor (Dez): You would do this correctly.
• 17:46
  Connor (Dez): And all the time you've been here.
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: Wait, would that mean they would see it?
• 17:49
  Speaker 15: So then the question is, are those two people or in this cult
• 17:53
  Speaker 15: that they formed, are they our allies or our enemies?
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: Since we do potentially share a common goal?
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: Well, okay, so if.
• 18:01
  Speaker 13: Jim's the pretender and they
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: know about him and they know
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: about him putting new avatar
• 18:08
  Speaker 13: strangers here, and they said,
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: those are the people trying to
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: stop him, then we're their
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: enemies.
• 18:15
  Speaker 15: But are we not really?
• 18:17
  Speaker 15: Yeah. Should we be trying to stop them?
• 18:19
  Speaker 13: Well, Jim did just say that there's no way for anyone else
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: to leave except for us.
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: Oh, but I did say those people.
• 18:28
  Speaker 13: So technically speaking, those two aren't like them.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: They're like us.
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: So they could leave.
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: Maybe they know it'll kill everyone else, but not them and
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: they can get out.
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: How does the euphoria fit in?
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: Maybe it's like some sort of magic.
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: Like the lines in a ritual glyph connects all the souls together.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: What if it's like a drug that
• 18:54
  Speaker 13: just makes them really
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: suggestible?
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: Des is riding on this thing.
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: He says we got some euphoria.
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: Why not.
• 18:59
  Connor (Dez): Take it?
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I've got a bunch, too.
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: Has anybody actually taken the euphoria yet?
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: No, because we were told it creates like high co-dependency,
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: I think is what they said.
• 19:10
  Speaker 15: Let's read some big nerd.
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: That's like the biggest word I've said in my life.
• 19:13
  Speaker 13: Des.
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: So but the thing is, do we let them go with through with it?
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: Or do we just go and kill sprout and just stop it right there?
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: Des writes kill.
• 19:24
  Connor (Dez): first, ask questions later.
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: That sounds about right.
• 19:27
  Speaker 15: The worst.
• 19:27
  Speaker 15: What if we just went backstage to find out a little bit more
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: about the Ascension process?
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: What if we found those two people?
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: What?
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah. What if we get one of these?
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: We need to get someone alone.
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: That's Walker or one of those three stooges up on the stage.
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: They're still up.
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: There.
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: Can we guarantee they're gonna tell us the truth?
• 19:49
  Speaker 15: Do we have any proof?
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: If we captured two of them and they disagree on things, then we
• 19:54
  Speaker 13: know one of them is lying.
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: But if they agree on something without knowing what the other
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: said, then we know they're telling the truth.
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: We just have to make him think we captured two.
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: Oh, that's smart too.
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: Or we capture all three because that sounds funny.
• 20:08
  Connor (Dez): Then you've got a tiebreaker in
• 20:09
  Connor (Dez): case they do have differing
• 20:10
  Connor (Dez): opinions.
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: There might be something useful in, uh, in these notes that she
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: left in her black book.
• 20:18
  Speaker 12: Was it because there was a correspondence?
• 20:20
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: Maybe she maybe she forgot about her.
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: She's just so arrogant.
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: She didn't think we could stop her.
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: I think I need to I need to dig into these.
• 20:29
  Speaker 15: Are there still people backstage that we're aware of?
• 20:32
  Connor (Dez): Uh, you'd have no idea.
• 20:33
  Connor (Dez): Because you guys remember that, like, the backstage leads down
• 20:36
  Connor (Dez): into a basement area.
• 20:37
  Connor (Dez): An exit door?
• 20:39
  Speaker 15: Well, Kido is going to fashion
• 20:41
  Speaker 15: his ring, or at least secure it
• 20:43
  Speaker 15: on his finger to make sure it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 15: still.
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: I was gonna say Kato's been invisible this whole time.
• 20:48
  Connor (Dez): I will, I will, I will say, uh, probably about this point.
• 20:51
  Connor (Dez): Oh, everybody, if not everybody has.
• 20:54
  Connor (Dez): Because, I mean, how long have you guys been talking?
• 20:57
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 20:57
  Connor (Dez): Um, everybody has pretty much filed out of here, and, uh, one
• 21:00
  Connor (Dez): of the guards comes over and he goes, hey, just so you guys are
• 21:04
  Connor (Dez): aware, uh, I think things are, uh, over you guys.
• 21:09
  Connor (Dez): Um, I, you know.
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: Does that mean I'm not the chosen one?
• 21:13
  Connor (Dez): Uh, sorry, bud, but, uh, we did find the chosen one, but.
• 21:16
  Connor (Dez): But good news is, is it sounds
• 21:18
  Connor (Dez): like you don't even have to
• 21:20
  Connor (Dez): worry about being chosen as the
• 21:21
  Connor (Dez): chosen one.
• 21:22
  Connor (Dez): Uh, it sounds like we're all
• 21:24
  Connor (Dez): going to be getting out of here
• 21:25
  Connor (Dez): anyways.
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: Hey, who started the Legionnaires?
• 21:28
  Connor (Dez): The legionnaires?
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah. Isn't that what you guys are?
• 21:31
  Connor (Dez): Uh, no. No, I wish.
• 21:33
  Connor (Dez): Uh, well, I kind of wish.
• 21:35
  Connor (Dez): Uh, those guys are pretty freaky, but at the same time,
• 21:37
  Connor (Dez): they're incredibly powerful.
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: Oh. Who started?
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: What are you.
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: What are we called again?
• 21:42
  Connor (Dez): Uh.
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: The ascendants who started this?
• 21:45
  Connor (Dez): Oh, the Legionnaires specifically.
• 21:47
  Connor (Dez): Uh, Cornelia or the Maxwells?
• 21:50
  Connor (Dez): Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell.
• 21:51
  Connor (Dez): Okay, well, forgive me.
• 21:55
  Connor (Dez): I guess technically he started.
• 21:58
  Speaker 16: Who's he?
• 21:59
  Connor (Dez): You know, he.
• 22:00
  Connor (Dez): What do you mean?
• 22:00
  Connor (Dez): Who's he?
• 22:01
  Connor (Dez): He.
• 22:02
  Speaker 16: He who?
• 22:03
  Connor (Dez): The guy that run the.
• 22:04
  Connor (Dez): The leader of the Ascendants.
• 22:07
  Connor (Dez): The guy that's putting the guy that behind all of this.
• 22:10
  Connor (Dez): That's putting it all together
• 22:11
  Connor (Dez): so that we can all get out of
• 22:12
  Connor (Dez): here.

  Connor (Dez): No.
• 22:50
  Connor (Dez): Uh. Hey, you know, if I knew who
• 22:52
  Connor (Dez): he was, uh, I'd probably be in
• 22:54
  Connor (Dez): the inner circle, and you
• 22:55
  Connor (Dez): wouldn't be talking to me right
• 22:56
  Connor (Dez): now.

  Speaker 13: Yeah. I need a home address to mail my.

  Connor (Dez): Um, I mean, I don't know if
• 23:18
  Connor (Dez): they'll even be needing it at
• 23:19
  Connor (Dez): this point.
• 23:19
  Connor (Dez): I think things are already pretty much in motion.
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: I bet you that's where they took
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: the chosen one to go live with
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: them until they could finish
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: their ceremony.
• 23:26
  Connor (Dez): Well, he's gotta be, you know, trained, he's gotta be enhanced.
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: And he would be he would be trained by Maxwell's themselves.
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 23:37
  Connor (Dez): Oh, if not him himself.
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: Who is him?

• 23:54
  Connor (Dez): a real being.
• 23:55
  Connor (Dez): He might be a deity, but he.
• 23:57
  Connor (Dez): I think he.

  Speaker 13: Has.

• 24:41
  Connor (Dez): Money is what you make of it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: I hand him one of my vials or fifty gold.
• 24:45
  Connor (Dez): He's like, all right, sweet.
• 24:47
  Connor (Dez): Now I can get high twice.

  Speaker 13: So it is a high.
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: I knew it.
• 24:50
  Connor (Dez): What do you mean?
• 24:51
  Connor (Dez): Is it high?
• 24:51
  Connor (Dez): Have you never had it before?
• 24:52
  Connor (Dez): No.
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: I can't stand this stuff.
• 24:54
  Speaker 13: Allergic.
• 24:55
  Connor (Dez): Oh, it's like nothing I've ever experienced before.
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: Does it make you feel suggestible?
• 24:59
  Connor (Dez): Um, I don't know.
• 25:01
  Connor (Dez): It mostly just feels like you're
• 25:04
  Connor (Dez): remembering all sorts of just
• 25:07
  Connor (Dez): beautiful memories.
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 25:10
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: I think I know what euphoria is now.
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: Anyways, thanks.
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: Thanks a lot.
• 25:14
  Connor (Dez): Just so you guys are Bye.
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: Oh!
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: Oh!
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: Wait till he leaves.
• 25:18
  Connor (Dez): Oh, he's waiting for you to leave.
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: Oh, come on, guys, over here.
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: Let's leave guys.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: Let's leave.
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: And then when he's out of earshot, we're gonna go.
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: Guys, do you remember we were talking to that one person?
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: I don't even remember who it was.
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: But then they started talking about having old memories from,
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: like, before they were here.
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: I think it was radicals.
• 25:37
  Speaker 13: Yeah, radicals.
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: You remember that?
• 25:40
  Speaker 13: And then he, then he he.
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: But he was huge on the euphoria and stuff.
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: And you remember Jim just said that souls, he put souls from
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: the outer world into here.
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: What if euphoria brings back those memories of their past
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: lives in the upper world?
• 25:58
  Speaker 15: I guess we could try it and find out.
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: We would just have our own memories.
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: We still have our memories, but
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: one of us and Roric looks at
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: little source and goes, one of
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: us doesn't remember his
• 26:12
  Speaker 13: memories.
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: A. You want to do some euphoria?
• 26:16
  Connor (Dez): Whoa!
• 26:17
  Connor (Dez): We've got everybody, everybody listening at home.
• 26:19
  Connor (Dez): We've got real life peer pressure to do drugs happening
• 26:23
  Connor (Dez): right in front of your eyes.
• 26:24
  Connor (Dez): This is what it looks like.
• 26:25
  Connor (Dez): This is what it looks like.
• 26:27
  Connor (Dez): Do drugs for someone that was never pressured to do drugs in
• 26:31
  Connor (Dez): my whole life.
• 26:32
  Connor (Dez): This is so interesting to me.
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Think about it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: You could see a past life version of yourself.
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: It wouldn't really work on us because we all have past lives
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: that we can remember.
• 26:42
  Connor (Dez): All right.
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: Oh, cool.
• 26:43
  Speaker 13: I hand him a vial.
• 26:45
  Connor (Dez): You down it?
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: Oh, absolutely.
• 26:46
  Connor (Dez): That's just right.
• 26:48
  Speaker 17: It's that easy, kids.
• 26:50
  Connor (Dez): Oh my God. I'm going to have to put a disclaimer at the
• 27:07
  Connor (Dez): beginning of this episode.
• 27:08
  Connor (Dez): Now we should.
• 27:08
  Speaker 15: Probably include the number for poison control.
• 27:10
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, yeah that's right.
• 27:12
  Connor (Dez): Um little sauce.
• 27:13
  Connor (Dez): You start to your whole body pretty much goes numb.
• 27:19
  Speaker 18: You feel great.
• 27:20
  Connor (Dez): You've also you've taken damage.
• 27:24
  Connor (Dez): Technically, yes.
• 27:24
  Connor (Dez): I mean, I know you've been healed, but you're not at Max
• 27:26
  Connor (Dez): health, are you?
• 27:27
  Connor (Dez): No.
• 27:27
  Connor (Dez): Okay.
• 27:27
  Connor (Dez): So any pain that you feel, you
• 27:29
  Connor (Dez): don't heal just before you get
• 27:31
  Connor (Dez): excited.
• 27:31
  Connor (Dez): You don't heal.
• 27:32
  Connor (Dez): But any pain that you were
• 27:33
  Connor (Dez): experiencing due to these wounds
• 27:34
  Connor (Dez): is gone.
• 27:35
  Connor (Dez): You don't feel it.
• 27:35
  Connor (Dez): You don't feel much of anything.
• 27:37
  Connor (Dez): You feel almost euphoric.
• 27:38
  Connor (Dez): You do feel euphoric.
• 27:39
  Connor (Dez): You almost feel like you're not
• 27:41
  Connor (Dez): even part of existence right
• 27:44
  Connor (Dez): now.
• 27:44
  Connor (Dez): You feel ethereal, like you can't even feel the breeze as it
• 27:48
  Connor (Dez): blows past you.
• 27:49
  Connor (Dez): You don't feel the the ground
• 27:52
  Connor (Dez): beneath your own feet, but you
• 27:53
  Connor (Dez): as.
• 27:54
  Connor (Dez): As this feeling starts to expand, you sort of fade away.
• 27:59
  Connor (Dez): Everything around you starts to
• 28:01
  Connor (Dez): kind of just glow with the
• 28:02
  Connor (Dez): white, not a painful white by
• 28:03
  Connor (Dez): any means, but just glows with
• 28:05
  Connor (Dez): the white until it just doesn't
• 28:06
  Connor (Dez): exist anymore.
• 28:08
  Connor (Dez): And then all of a sudden you're
• 28:09
  Connor (Dez): in a new place, and I know you
• 28:15
  Connor (Dez): didn't prepare for this in any
• 28:17
  Connor (Dez): way, shape or form, and I should
• 28:18
  Connor (Dez): have probably talked about it
• 28:19
  Connor (Dez): beforehand.
• 28:19
  Connor (Dez): But I want you to describe for me what was in a past life.
• 28:28
  Connor (Dez): Was he a farmer?
• 28:29
  Connor (Dez): Was he a businessman?
• 28:31
  Connor (Dez): This is all.
• 28:31
  Connor (Dez): And keep in mind, this is in the
• 28:33
  Connor (Dez): the the world that they came
• 28:35
  Connor (Dez): from.
• 28:35
  Speaker 19: Source, uh, you know, in his
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: past life was a, uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 19: kindergarten teacher.
• 28:41
  Speaker 19: Oh, okay.
• 28:43
  Speaker 19: And he taught all the kids, uh, he, he loved young children.
• 28:46
  Speaker 19: Not in that way of teaching young children.

  Connor (Dez): little source, obviously probably a different name.
• 29:05
  Connor (Dez): I don't know what that is.

  Connor (Dez): Uh, are you there?
• 32:24
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. Oh, okay.
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: I think at this point, he's probably removed the ring.
• 32:27
  Connor (Dez): Okay.
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: Can you pick up little sauce and
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: just kind of carry him to the
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: Maxwell house while he's having
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: his high.
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: Attempt to fling him over his
• 32:36
  Speaker 15: shoulder like a damsel in
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: distress?
• 32:39
  Connor (Dez): Okay. Yeah, I was gonna say you have a pretty high strength.
• 32:41
  Connor (Dez): I'm not even gonna worry about.
• 32:42
  Connor (Dez): This isn't a check.
• 32:43
  Connor (Dez): He's like, you're strong.
• 32:45
  Connor (Dez): There we go.
• 32:46
  Connor (Dez): You fling him over?
• 32:47
  Connor (Dez): Not really.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: Fighting him.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: He's like a sack of potatoes.
• 32:50
  Connor (Dez): He is.
• 32:50
  Connor (Dez): He's very much a sack of potatoes.
• 32:52
  Connor (Dez): You pick him up and you haul.
• 32:54
  Connor (Dez): You're able to haul him
• 32:55
  Connor (Dez): wherever, wherever you want to
• 32:56
  Connor (Dez): go.
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, Frick. You know, I just realized we just drugged the
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: only guy who would know where the Maxwell House is.
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: That is quite the pickle jar.
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: Oh, hold on, wait a second.
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: I know where we gotta go.
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: I know someone who will know where the Maxwell house is.
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: And he lives nearby.
• 33:13
  Speaker 13: Gavin, I don't know where Gavin lives.
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: I don't know where Gavin lives.
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: I do.
• 33:18
  Connor (Dez): Why?
• 33:19
  Speaker 13: Because when we left little House, his house.
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: I saw Kevin leaving his house.
• 33:23
  Connor (Dez): That's not close to here.
• 33:25
  Connor (Dez): Oh, that's all the way in the medium ville district.
• 33:27
  Speaker 13: Oh, that is right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: It's somewhere in this district.
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: The Lake District.
• 33:31
  Speaker 15: What if we.
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: It's gotta be like a mansion.
• 33:33
  Speaker 15: Check that little black book from the desk of Alexandria.
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: Maybe that's got an address.
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: Mailing address?
• 33:40
  Speaker 15: The desk.
• 33:41
  Speaker 17: Of Alexandria.
• 33:42
  Speaker 17: That's like our library of Alexandria.
• 33:44
  Connor (Dez): And?
• 33:45
  Speaker 13: And wouldn't you believe it,
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: this book has given us so much
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: information.
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: It's like our library of Alexandria.
• 33:51
  Speaker 17: It's almost like it shouldn't have burned down.
• 33:54
  Connor (Dez): I should not have given you that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: It's funny.
• 33:57
  Speaker 13: Someone almost burned it, too.
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: MM. How history repeats itself in funny ways.
• 34:03
  Speaker 17: Could you imagine if the desk of Alexandria that had all that
• 34:07
  Speaker 17: information got burned down?
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: That's terrifying to think about if that happened in real life.
• 34:11
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of there's.
• 34:12
  Connor (Dez): A lot of irony to be leaned.
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: Back. That would have been.
• 34:15
  Connor (Dez): Uh, okay. Yeah. Do you I mean,
• 34:17
  Connor (Dez): Marcie, you're the one with the
• 34:19
  Connor (Dez): the booklet.
• 34:20
  Connor (Dez): Do you want to pop it open and
• 34:21
  Connor (Dez): take a peek, see if that's in
• 34:23
  Connor (Dez): there.
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I know where to go.
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: Into a side alley on the street
• 34:28
  Speaker 12: and pop it open and start
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: looking through.
• 34:30
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. Um, honestly, first page boom.
• 34:33
  Connor (Dez): Cornelia and Silas Maxwell.
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: It's like on the backside of the letter that was on her desk.
• 34:39
  Connor (Dez): It would also be there, actually.
• 34:42
  Connor (Dez): Nice big stamp right over the top corner of it.
• 34:46
  Connor (Dez): Uh, yeah, there's an address on there.
• 34:47
  Connor (Dez): Is it nearby?
• 34:49
  Connor (Dez): Uh, yeah.
• 34:49
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 34:50
  Connor (Dez): Oh, cool.
• 34:50
  Connor (Dez): No reason.
• 34:51
  Connor (Dez): It wouldn't be.
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: Hey, there it is.
• 34:53
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, you guys are, uh, you guys are inevitably able to find it.
• 34:56
  Connor (Dez): Because I have no reason to say you wouldn't be able to.
• 34:59
  Connor (Dez): That was.
• 34:59
  Connor (Dez): That was the perfect resource for the situation.
• 35:01
  Speaker 13: How far away is it from where we were?
• 35:03
  Connor (Dez): Um, maybe like two miles.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: Oh, okay.
• 35:08
  Speaker 13: So when we get there, has a little source come to.
• 35:10
  Speaker 13: Or is he still drooling?
• 35:12
  Connor (Dez): I think he's still drooling.
• 35:14
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 35:15
  Connor (Dez): Uh, but he's he's starting to come out of it, I think.
• 35:17
  Connor (Dez): He he he.
• 35:18
  Connor (Dez): You'll see him twitch every once in a while.
• 35:20
  Connor (Dez): Mhm.
• 35:20
  Speaker 13: Bad dream.
• 35:21
  Connor (Dez): His glow.
• 35:22
  Connor (Dez): His eyes are not glowing as intensely as they were before.
• 35:25
  Speaker 17: Every time he.
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: Twitches.
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: Just right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: That's probably fine.
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: All right, so do we just walk right in?
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: Do we go through the back?
• 35:32
  Speaker 15: What do we find when we get there?
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: It's like a gated mansion.
• 35:36
  Connor (Dez): Oh, yes. Sorry. My apologies.
• 35:38
  Connor (Dez): Yes. As you guys come down the
• 35:40
  Connor (Dez): the road that leads up and
• 35:41
  Connor (Dez): everything here.
• 35:42
  Connor (Dez): Keep in mind, this is an industrial area.
• 35:44
  Connor (Dez): This whole Wakanda district is very industrial.
• 35:47
  Connor (Dez): This kind of sits right on where it borders.
• 35:49
  Connor (Dez): I believe the Asgardia district.
• 35:51
  Connor (Dez): Um big mansion, metal plated.
• 35:57
  Connor (Dez): There is an iron gate that looks
• 35:59
  Connor (Dez): straight out of any given horror
• 36:02
  Connor (Dez): movie.
• 36:02
  Connor (Dez): You know, it's got some curled
• 36:05
  Connor (Dez): metal pieces that spell out kind
• 36:07
  Connor (Dez): of a spiral y m um, for Maxwell
• 36:11
  Connor (Dez): on the gates on either either
• 36:12
  Connor (Dez): door.
• 36:13
  Connor (Dez): So it kind of looks like it says M and M. Um, and the gate is, I
• 36:20
  Connor (Dez): think the main gate.
• 36:22
  Connor (Dez): Oh yeah.
• 36:22
  Connor (Dez): The gates closed.
• 36:24
  Connor (Dez): I can there's no reason why not.
• 36:25
  Connor (Dez): Okay.
• 36:26
  Connor (Dez): Like you're just.
• 36:27
  Speaker 13: Well I'm saying I, I just I can
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: open if that's the way we want
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: to go, but it's just a giant
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: metal building.
• 36:34
  Connor (Dez): When he said it's a mansion he was understating.
• 36:37
  Connor (Dez): This is darn near a castle at this point.
• 36:41
  Speaker 13: A metal castle.
• 36:42
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 36:44
  Connor (Dez): Or at least it's it's metal, like plated.
• 36:46
  Connor (Dez): So like it's a stone castle mansion.
• 36:49
  Connor (Dez): What have you.
• 36:49
  Connor (Dez): There's been metal plating that's been added to it in
• 36:52
  Connor (Dez): portions to further enforce it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: Okay. Um, okay.
• 36:57
  Speaker 13: So I could open the front gate and we could just kind of walk
• 37:01
  Speaker 13: to the front door.
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: Or do we want to sneak in?
• 37:04
  Speaker 13: To be fair, I don't really know
• 37:06
  Speaker 13: how else we would get into a
• 37:07
  Speaker 13: castle.
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: I mean, we could just say our
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: friend's having a bad reaction
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: to euphoria.
• 37:12
  Speaker 13: That might get us in.
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: He is twitching a lot.
• 37:15
  Speaker 13: Oh, there it goes again.
• 37:17
  Speaker 13: Oh, let's try it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 13: And I just sleight of hand picked the lock on the gate.
• 37:21
  Connor (Dez): Go for it.
• 37:22
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 13: Uh, twenty four.
• 37:24
  Connor (Dez): Twenty four.
• 37:25
  Connor (Dez): Okay. Yeah, you're able to.
• 37:26
  Connor (Dez): There's like, a chain with a nice big lock metal lock on it.
• 37:31
  Connor (Dez): You pull out your thieves tools, you jitter around in there until
• 37:34
  Connor (Dez): it pops the lock.
• 37:35
  Connor (Dez): You remove the chain and you push the gate open.
• 37:41
  Connor (Dez): And you guys are inside on the
• 37:43
  Connor (Dez): main grounds of the Maxwell
• 37:46
  Connor (Dez): estate.
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: To the front door, I guess.
• 37:48
  Connor (Dez): All right, you guys, head up.
• 37:49
  Speaker 19: Just being dragged along.
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: No, you're being very.
• 37:52
  Speaker 19: That's what I'm saying.
• 37:52
  Speaker 19: Just as long as I'm tripping.
• 37:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: I don't want to waste time waiting for you.
• 37:57
  Connor (Dez): Uh, yeah.
• 37:58
  Connor (Dez): They don't know how long this high lasts.
• 38:00
  Connor (Dez): Uh, you guys.
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: You're doing valuable research for us right now.
• 38:03
  Connor (Dez): That's true.
• 38:04
  Connor (Dez): You guys approached the front doors, obviously.
• 38:07
  Connor (Dez): Uh, ion sort of boring in the wooden doors that exist here.
• 38:11
  Connor (Dez): And you guys on the handle.
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: Before we get there.
• 38:15
  Speaker 13: Yes. Okay, so are we just knocking, or do we break into
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: this place, too?
• 38:19
  Speaker 13: This isn't the first time we've broken into a mansion.
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: I will add that we've done this before.
• 38:24
  Speaker 13: And I stole a lot of cheese and horse pictures and horse books.
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: So. Which all were taken by local government during a trial.
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: I can't believe this.
• 38:35
  Speaker 13: So, do we sneak in or not?
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: Does it look like anybody's home?
• 38:39
  Connor (Dez): Oh, yeah.
• 38:39
  Connor (Dez): There's lights on.
• 38:41
  Connor (Dez): Uh. For sure.
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: This is where they would have taken the.
• 38:44
  Speaker 17: Oh, they would have taken.
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: Are we sure that's rocket?
• 38:48
  Speaker 13: I mean, just talking to the talking to the guard, it feels
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: like they would have taken him to the most protected place.
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: Look at this place.
• 38:55
  Speaker 17: If it's the most protected place, they just got a locked
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: gate and no guards out there.
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: Probably inside.
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: Mhm.
• 39:01
  Speaker 13: That's probably why.
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
• 39:03
  Speaker 13: We probably shouldn't break in.
• 39:05
  Speaker 17: There's a bunch of.
• 39:06
  Speaker 17: Well, yeah, if.
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: It's guards knocking might be the easier choice.
• 39:10
  Speaker 13: So we should do that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 17: Or we could look around, see if
• 39:13
  Speaker 17: there's a better area to break
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: in.
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: Because if they're just like really, if they're just you also
• 39:18
  Speaker 17: don't all have to.
• 39:19
  Connor (Dez): Do the same thing.
• 39:20
  Speaker 17: So can I roll an investigate?
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: Sure.
• 39:23
  Connor (Dez): Are you going around?
• 39:25
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 39:25
  Speaker 17: The going around seeing if
• 39:27
  Speaker 17: there's any like, better entry
• 39:28
  Speaker 17: points?
• 39:29
  Speaker 17: Sure.
• 39:29
  Speaker 17: What's his investigate?
• 39:31
  Speaker 13: Yeah. I was going to do perception to just see if I see,
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: like, other entrances.
• 39:36
  Speaker 17: Uh, fifteen.
• 39:37
  Connor (Dez): Fifteen to investigate.
• 39:38
  Connor (Dez): What are you and you're looking for?
• 39:40
  Speaker 17: Just like if there's any entry points where we might be able to
• 39:44
  Speaker 17: get in stealthily.
• 39:45
  Connor (Dez): Okay. Uh, I will say, as you do, like a A perimeter around this.
• 39:51
  Connor (Dez): This castle.
• 39:52
  Connor (Dez): The only thing that you see is a cellar door obviously locked.
• 39:56
  Connor (Dez): Uh, on the sort of rear left side of this building.
• 40:03
  Speaker 13: There's no guarantee that the cellar is even attached to.
• 40:05
  Connor (Dez): It's entirely possible it's not.
• 40:07
  Connor (Dez): That's true.
• 40:08
  Speaker 13: It could be a storm cellar.
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: Uh, I got a twenty one for.
• 40:11
  Connor (Dez): Just general perception.
• 40:12
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I was just seeing if
• 40:13
  Speaker 13: there's other openings as nice
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: as well.
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: I would say.
• 40:19
  Connor (Dez): That given that it's practically
• 40:20
  Connor (Dez): a castle, there are sort of
• 40:22
  Connor (Dez): sections.
• 40:24
  Connor (Dez): So, um, that you could walk on right.
• 40:27
  Connor (Dez): If you were up on the, on the second level.
• 40:29
  Speaker 13: So if we got up top, yeah.
• 40:31
  Connor (Dez): If you climbed up the side, uh,
• 40:34
  Connor (Dez): there are definitely some
• 40:35
  Connor (Dez): windows, but they are probably
• 40:36
  Connor (Dez): about fifteen feet up or they
• 40:38
  Connor (Dez): have the closer ones have like
• 40:40
  Connor (Dez): stronger.
• 40:41
  Speaker 13: Does it look like it has like a flat roof, like an old castle?
• 40:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 40:44
  Speaker 13: It's like.
• 40:45
  Connor (Dez): A flat.
• 40:45
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 13: We could also get to the top.
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: Oh, I have a rope that can let us do that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 15: And I have a teleporting echo and I have plus nine stealth.
• 40:55
  Speaker 13: Hold on, I think I made this rope.
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: Give me a give me a second rope of climbing.
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: What an appropriate.
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: Name. It's a magic item.
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: And I made it myself.
• 41:04
  Speaker 13: What?
• 41:06
  Speaker 13: It's how tall to the ceiling.
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: To the roof.
• 41:09
  Speaker 13: Um.
• 41:10
  Connor (Dez): Let's say given the windows are
• 41:12
  Connor (Dez): fifteen, let's say it's twenty
• 41:14
  Connor (Dez): thirty.
• 41:15
  Connor (Dez): Let's say thirty.
• 41:16
  Speaker 13: Oh, perfect.
• 41:17
  Speaker 13: With this item I it's sixty feet of sixty feet of rope.
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: And I can as an action, a bonus action command the other end of
• 41:24
  Speaker 13: the rope to go to any destination of my choice.
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: Every turn, it moves ten feet towards the destination, and it
• 41:31
  Speaker 13: can fasten itself securely to wherever the destination is.
• 41:35
  Speaker 13: Then you could like just hold on to the other end and just like,
• 41:38
  Speaker 13: say, pull me up.
• 41:39
  Speaker 13: And then.
• 41:39
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: So yeah, so I this rope, I can just tell it to attach itself to
• 41:43
  Speaker 13: the roof and we could just sneak on the roof.
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: but we probably should do that
• 41:47
  Speaker 13: around the side where there's
• 41:49
  Speaker 13: less windows.
• 41:50
  Connor (Dez): So nobody's knocking on the door now.
• 41:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah. Let's not knock on the door.
• 41:53
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 41:54
  Speaker 13: To the roof.
• 41:55
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 41:55
  Speaker 13: Oh, and the nice thing is you
• 41:56
  Speaker 13: can command it to pull yourself
• 41:58
  Speaker 13: up.
• 41:58
  Speaker 13: So it'll be easy for you to get little source up there, too.
• 42:01
  Speaker 15: I also can project my echo
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: thirty feet away and then
• 42:06
  Speaker 15: teleport there.
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 42:08
  Speaker 13: But can you project little source with you?
• 42:10
  Speaker 15: No, I think it's just me.
• 42:11
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 42:12
  Speaker 15: So do you have a rope?
• 42:13
  Speaker 15: Well, use the rope.
• 42:14
  Speaker 15: I will source the other end.
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: Or he could just hold it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 15: Or he could just hold it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 13: Anyways, I pull up the rope and I just kind of hold it.
• 42:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 13: I say, all right, connect to the top, blah, blah, blah.
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: And then I pull myself up.
• 42:25
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 42:26
  Speaker 13: And I release it and let it go back down and.
• 42:28
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. Uh, when you reach the top, roll a stealth check.
• 42:33
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 42:33
  Speaker 13: That's probably smart.
• 42:35
  Speaker 13: Twenty four.
• 42:36
  Connor (Dez): Twenty four okay, cool.
• 42:37
  Connor (Dez): You reach the top and you are now up there.
• 42:40
  Speaker 15: Is there.
• 42:40
  Speaker 13: Anyone else?
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: Do we all need to roll stealth checks?
• 42:43
  Connor (Dez): Uh, you might in a moment.
• 42:45
  Speaker 13: Is there anyone up there?
• 42:47
  Connor (Dez): Perception check.
• 42:49
  Connor (Dez): One, two.
• 42:50
  Connor (Dez): You see a strange device that you've never seen in your life?
• 42:57
  Connor (Dez): Uh, it has sort of two long protrusions that come out of it.
• 43:03
  Connor (Dez): And then on either side, it's like a not a box, but sort of
• 43:06
  Connor (Dez): just like a polygon type shape.
• 43:09
  Connor (Dez): And it has two protrusions that come out of the front.
• 43:11
  Connor (Dez): And then on either side, it has these sort of lensed, uh,
• 43:15
  Connor (Dez): protrusions as well that almost look like eyes in a sense, but
• 43:19
  Connor (Dez): not like mechanical eyes.
• 43:21
  Connor (Dez): And it's moving ever so slightly.
• 43:24
  Connor (Dez): Like when you come up, I think
• 43:25
  Connor (Dez): it's like slowly rotating from
• 43:28
  Connor (Dez): one side and then back to the
• 43:30
  Connor (Dez): other.
• 43:31
  Connor (Dez): MM.
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: It's like hanging by the rope at the top.
• 43:34
  Speaker 13: And he looks down at everyone else and he goes, uh.
• 43:37
  Speaker 13: And he slides back down.
• 43:39
  Speaker 15: Oh, okay.
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: He tells it to slide back and he
• 43:41
  Speaker 13: goes, um, there's like a trap up
• 43:43
  Speaker 13: there.
• 43:43
  Speaker 13: Like a sensor kind of thing.
• 43:45
  Speaker 15: Do you think it can be disarmed?
• 43:47
  Speaker 13: It looks pretty protected and magical.
• 43:50
  Speaker 15: MM.
• 43:51
  Speaker 13: Probably an alarm of some kind.
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: So we could try this other idea.
• 43:56
  Speaker 15: Who's to say there's not a trap down there?
• 43:58
  Speaker 13: There's probably a trap down there, too.
• 43:59
  Speaker 13: Honestly, if those are, like, the only two entry points.
• 44:03
  Speaker 13: The other idea is we just crashed through a window.
• 44:06
  Speaker 13: Not crash.
• 44:08
  Speaker 12: Maybe there's, like, a servant's entrance.
• 44:11
  Connor (Dez): Well, he did go around the whole building and checking.
• 44:13
  Connor (Dez): Didn't see another entrance.
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: So our best options now are we
• 44:18
  Speaker 13: try to sneak in through a
• 44:19
  Speaker 13: window, or we just knock on the
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: door.
• 44:24
  Speaker 13: We do have a guy tripping out, so let's knock.
• 44:28
  Speaker 13: I'm fine with that too.
• 44:29
  Speaker 13: I mean.
• 44:29
  Connor (Dez): So I guess with that being said,
• 44:31
  Connor (Dez): who will be the one doing the
• 44:33
  Connor (Dez): knocking?
• 44:34
  Connor (Dez): Are you two questions?
• 44:35
  Connor (Dez): Who will be the one doing the knocking?
• 44:36
  Connor (Dez): And then where are the rest of you guys going to be quickly.
• 44:39
  Speaker 15: It probably make more sense for
• 44:41
  Speaker 15: Kato to knock because he could
• 44:43
  Speaker 15: be like, hey, my friend here is
• 44:44
  Speaker 15: tripping out.
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: Can you help him?
• 44:46
  Connor (Dez): So then second question is where
• 44:47
  Connor (Dez): are the rest of you going to be
• 44:48
  Connor (Dez): while he's knocking and giving
• 44:50
  Connor (Dez): this information?
• 44:50
  Connor (Dez): Are you going to all stand around him?
• 44:52
  Connor (Dez): Should we have a group or are you guys gonna.
• 44:54
  Connor (Dez): Yeah.
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: Should we hide or just be with him?
• 44:56
  Speaker 12: I'll just be with him.
• 44:58
  Connor (Dez): Okay, Mark, you'll be with him?
• 44:59
  Speaker 15: Probably.
• 44:59
  Speaker 15: Just be with.
• 44:59
  Speaker 13: I'll be with him.
• 45:00
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 45:00
  Speaker 12: Well, maybe I'll hide.
• 45:02
  Speaker 12: Maybe you should go invisible.
• 45:03
  Speaker 13: Wait. He's carrying.
• 45:04
  Connor (Dez): He's gotta carry Mark or a little sauce.
• 45:07
  Speaker 15: I'll. I'll hide, I guess.
• 45:08
  Speaker 15: With with Rourke.
• 45:09
  Speaker 15: Why don't you carry.
• 45:10
  Speaker 15: Oh, no.
• 45:11
  Speaker 13: You're the only one strong enough.
• 45:12
  Speaker 13: We're all week.
• 45:13
  Connor (Dez): Okay, so we'll do that.
• 45:14
  Connor (Dez): We'll do.
• 45:14
  Connor (Dez): We'll have Rourke and Dez hide amidst the various.
• 45:18
  Speaker 13: Bushes right here.
• 45:19
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 45:20
  Connor (Dez): Maki and Kato carrying little sauce, will approach the door.
• 45:25
  Connor (Dez): And you do that.
• 45:26
  Connor (Dez): You walk up and you knock on the door and the door opens.
• 45:33
  Connor (Dez): And I'm trying to remember.
• 45:34
  Connor (Dez): I think all of you have at least seen him once.
• 45:37
  Connor (Dez): Some of you maybe twice a giant like, oh.
• 45:42
  Speaker 15: eight foot.
• 45:43
  Connor (Dez): Man.
• 45:45
  Speaker 20: Solomon Grundy.
• 45:47
  Connor (Dez): Abnormally heavy footsteps answers the door.
• 45:55
  Connor (Dez): And he opens it just a crack.
• 45:56
  Connor (Dez): You see him?
• 45:57
  Connor (Dez): He is pale, unnaturally pale.
• 46:00
  Connor (Dez): He has these what almost look like holes in his.
• 46:05
  Connor (Dez): Both sides of his lips.
• 46:07
  Connor (Dez): He has eyeballs that move just constantly, um, unnaturally.
• 46:12
  Connor (Dez): And they also look unnatural.
• 46:13
  Connor (Dez): They look almost like yellowed
• 46:16
  Connor (Dez): lenses as they're sort of
• 46:18
  Connor (Dez): scanning you.
• 46:19
  Connor (Dez): The three of you technically, uh, up and down.
• 46:22
  Connor (Dez): He wears a long trench coat like
• 46:25
  Connor (Dez): red suit with a clock, or maybe
• 46:29
  Connor (Dez): not so much of a clock as it is
• 46:31
  Connor (Dez): almost like a valve on his
• 46:33
  Connor (Dez): chest.
• 46:33
  Connor (Dez): And he looks at all of you and he says.
• 46:36
  Speaker 21: Can I help you?
• 46:40
  Speaker 15: Yes, yes you can.
• 46:42
  Speaker 15: Our friend here is having a reaction.
• 46:45
  Speaker 21: Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell are not seeing guests at this time.
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: But it's one of their followers.
• 46:55
  Speaker 15: He needs their help.
• 46:57
  Speaker 21: Is your friend on euphoria?
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 47:04
  Speaker 21: Euphoria should not be a lethal drug.
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: Take your friend home and let him rest it off.
• 47:16
  Speaker 15: Can you at least look at him?
• 47:19
  Speaker 21: We are not seeing guests at this time.
• 47:22
  Speaker 15: And he closes the door.
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 47:26
  Speaker 22: Hey, do you think he's a person?
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: I whispered to des.
• 47:31
  Connor (Dez): Des absolutely knows this is not a person.
• 47:36
  Speaker 15: Is probably not.
• 47:37
  Connor (Dez): Actually. Here's what I'll say.
• 47:39
  Connor (Dez): Des. Des, as an individual who's
• 47:44
  Connor (Dez): favored enemy is constructs
• 47:46
  Connor (Dez): knows this is not entirely
• 47:49
  Connor (Dez): human.
• 47:50
  Connor (Dez): In fact, this is only minimally human at best.
• 47:53
  Connor (Dez): This is mostly construct, and it's very confusing for des.
• 47:58
  Connor (Dez): He knows this.
• 47:58
  Connor (Dez): He can see the signs.
• 48:00
  Connor (Dez): He sees the elements that suggest that this is construct.
• 48:03
  Connor (Dez): But then at the other hand, he sees elements that suggest that
• 48:06
  Connor (Dez): this is also human.
• 48:08
  Connor (Dez): And he's very conflicted by that.
• 48:10
  Speaker 12: Des feels.
• 48:11
  Speaker 15: Conflicted.
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: So.
• 48:13
  Speaker 23: Oh, so okay, so since he is,
• 48:16
  Speaker 23: he's not human, but he's more of
• 48:19
  Speaker 23: a construct.
• 48:20
  Speaker 21: He's become more machine than man.
• 48:25
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 48:26
  Speaker 13: Uh, Braque sticks his head up
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: out of the bush and goes, no
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: idea.
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: You knock again.
• 48:32
  Speaker 13: I sneak in while he has the door open.
• 48:35
  Speaker 23: He only cracked it open, though.
• 48:37
  Speaker 13: The only crack it open.
• 48:39
  Speaker 15: Yes, it was very minimal.
• 48:40
  Speaker 13: Maybe be a little forceful and kind of like push it open.
• 48:43
  Speaker 13: Do you think you could have done that?
• 48:45
  Speaker 15: Could des.
• 48:47
  Speaker 23: I mean, I don't want to like, could des just, like, shoot an
• 48:49
  Speaker 23: arrow through the crack in the door, like and like, would it
• 48:53
  Speaker 23: injure him enough to where we could, like, overpower him and
• 48:56
  Speaker 23: actually break it?
• 48:57
  Speaker 15: The dude is eight foot tall.
• 48:59
  Connor (Dez): Here's what I'll say when you guys I don't remember actually.
• 49:03
  Connor (Dez): I know des had to have been
• 49:05
  Connor (Dez): involved in some way because
• 49:06
  Connor (Dez): when you guys last went to the
• 49:09
  Connor (Dez): cult meeting, you kind of you
• 49:13
  Connor (Dez): des had actually gone up on
• 49:14
  Connor (Dez): stage, and then they discovered
• 49:16
  Connor (Dez): that you were not the chosen
• 49:17
  Connor (Dez): one.
• 49:17
  Connor (Dez): And in fact, not only were you not the chosen One, but there
• 49:19
  Connor (Dez): was something off about you because whereas most people that
• 49:23
  Connor (Dez): they call up their poll, basically the soul out of the
• 49:26
  Connor (Dez): person, and if they're not the chosen one, they keep the soul
• 49:29
  Connor (Dez): and the person just dies.
• 49:31
  Connor (Dez): Yours.
• 49:31
  Connor (Dez): For whatever reason, the soul
• 49:33
  Connor (Dez): came out and then it went back
• 49:34
  Connor (Dez): in.
• 49:35
  Connor (Dez): But you were not found to be the chosen one.
• 49:37
  Speaker 15: I guess I remember that, yeah.
• 49:38
  Connor (Dez): I was gonna say this is a Jackson situation.
• 49:40
  Connor (Dez): So this is information for you.
• 49:42
  Connor (Dez): Um, if you remember correctly,
• 49:43
  Connor (Dez): as kind of an awkward, uh, we
• 49:46
  Connor (Dez): need to sort of deal with the
• 49:48
  Connor (Dez): situation.
• 49:49
  Connor (Dez): You had thrown one of your
• 49:51
  Connor (Dez): animals out from your bag of
• 49:52
  Connor (Dez): tricks, and it was, I believe, a
• 49:54
  Connor (Dez): baboon.
• 49:55
  Speaker 15: And do you have that animal?
• 49:57
  Connor (Dez): Yes. This same character, this individual stomped over and,
• 50:02
  Connor (Dez): like, basically squashed the baboon in like one hit.
• 50:06
  Speaker 22: Throw.
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: It in there to distract him.
• 50:08
  Speaker 15: I like that idea.
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: Like, just throw it right through the crack.
• 50:11
  Connor (Dez): Like that's what he took from that.
• 50:12
  Connor (Dez): He was like, can I shoot this guy and like, hurt him enough?
• 50:15
  Connor (Dez): And I'm like, he squished a baboon and he's eight feet tall
• 50:18
  Connor (Dez): and he's part construct.
• 50:20
  Connor (Dez): And then you're like, yeah, I'll throw an animal at him again.
• 50:23
  Speaker 12: I'll try to.
• 50:24
  Speaker 15: Just like, I'll try the baboon.
• 50:26
  Speaker 13: Just chuck it over his head and deep into the house.
• 50:29
  Speaker 15: The only things that could
• 50:30
  Speaker 15: really like actually hurt him
• 50:32
  Speaker 15: would be in a black bear or
• 50:34
  Speaker 15: tiger.
• 50:35
  Speaker 15: That's less than half.
• 50:36
  Speaker 13: Well, it doesn't matter what animal it is.
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: Just a distraction.
• 50:39
  Speaker 13: Just something that caused him to look away from the door.
• 50:42
  Speaker 13: And then we could.
• 50:44
  Speaker 15: At that point, it can become invisible.
• 50:46
  Speaker 13: I can also go invisible.
• 50:47
  Speaker 15: Does Des have any emotional
• 50:48
  Speaker 15: attachment to the animals in
• 50:50
  Speaker 15: this bag?
• 50:50
  Speaker 15: Are they like his Pokemon or are they just like they're.
• 50:53
  Connor (Dez): They're what are known as I believe.
• 50:54
  Connor (Dez): If I remember correctly, they're
• 50:56
  Connor (Dez): fey creatures, which basically
• 50:57
  Connor (Dez): means they don't die if they if
• 50:59
  Connor (Dez): they reach zero hit points, they
• 51:01
  Connor (Dez): just disappear.
• 51:02
  Connor (Dez): But they can be resummoned again.
• 51:03
  Connor (Dez): They're not real.
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: Okay. So all right.
• 51:06
  Connor (Dez): Imagine they're like holographic regenerative.
• 51:10
  Speaker 15: Okay?
• 51:10
  Speaker 15: Because I don't want like, I
• 51:11
  Speaker 15: don't want des, like Jackson to
• 51:13
  Speaker 15: come back.
• 51:13
  Speaker 15: Like, why are all my animals dead?
• 51:15
  Connor (Dez): He's been.
• 51:16
  Speaker 13: Using them as expendable.
• 51:17
  Connor (Dez): The entire time.
• 51:18
  Speaker 15: All right. Cool. Yeah, I'm good with that idea.
• 51:19
  Speaker 15: Okay, let's try that again.
• 51:20
  Speaker 15: Okay, so this time, yes.
• 51:22
  Connor (Dez): Keto.
• 51:23
  Speaker 24: Is going to, uh, just flop a little sauce over there.
• 51:26
  Speaker 24: Kind of like an abandoned flop.
• 51:27
  Speaker 15: That's what.
• 51:28
  Speaker 13: We're using.
• 51:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah. Yep.
• 51:30
  Speaker 24: Yeah. Flop, flop.
• 51:31
  Speaker 15: I mean, there's a bush nearby.
• 51:33
  Connor (Dez): Just right on the doorstep or.
• 51:35
  Connor (Dez): Yep.
• 51:35
  Speaker 24: Kind of like the abandoned baby type thing.
• 51:37
  Speaker 15: Oh, baby.
• 51:38
  Speaker 13: Maybe sell it by trying to, like, pump his chest.
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: Uh, like you're hitting his chest like he's dying.
• 51:45
  Connor (Dez): You have a giant needle that you're about to.
• 51:48
  Speaker 15: Really.
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: Sell it.
• 51:49
  Connor (Dez): What is this, pulp fiction?
• 51:50
  Speaker 13: You turn around.
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: You're crying.
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: He's dying.
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: You know you.
• 51:56
  Connor (Dez): All right, so are you knocking on the door again?
• 51:58
  Connor (Dez): Yes.
• 51:59
  Speaker 24: After, uh, putting on the invisibility ring and allowing
• 52:02
  Speaker 24: him to go invisible.
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: I go invisible as well.
• 52:04
  Connor (Dez): Oh, you have some.
• 52:05
  Connor (Dez): You have the spell?
• 52:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I.
• 52:06
  Speaker 13: Have the.
• 52:07
  Connor (Dez): Spell.
• 52:07
  Connor (Dez): Okay, okay.
• 52:08
  Speaker 15: Invisibility.
• 52:08
  Speaker 24: We need to get the door to open a little further.
• 52:12
  Speaker 13: That's where Maki comes in.
• 52:14
  Speaker 13: Maki. Just kind of.
• 52:14
  Speaker 13: When the guy turns around, Maki
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: kind of, like, pushes it and
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: goes.
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: Where are you going?
• 52:19
  Speaker 13: Get back here!
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: Help me!
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: Okay, but like, he's acting like he pushes it open.
• 52:24
  Speaker 24: But he just kind of lean little sauce against the door.
• 52:26
  Speaker 24: So as soon as he opens it, a
• 52:27
  Speaker 24: crack little sauce is very mass
• 52:29
  Speaker 24: will just kind of fall into the
• 52:30
  Speaker 24: door.
• 52:30
  Connor (Dez): Oh gosh, he's a doorstop.
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: Then the then the monkey flies in and.
• 52:34
  Connor (Dez): Then des.
• 52:35
  Speaker 13: Vents.
• 52:35
  Speaker 13: Pandemonium.
• 52:36
  Connor (Dez): Just to clarify.
• 52:37
  Connor (Dez): And then des, you're still in the bushes, right?
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: He. Is it like a good distance?
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: Like could he.
• 52:42
  Connor (Dez): You're within throwing range.
• 52:43
  Speaker 15: Okay. Yeah. So he'll just stay
• 52:44
  Speaker 15: in the bush, which is usually,
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: I.
• 52:46
  Connor (Dez): Think, through thirty feet.
• 52:47
  Connor (Dez): So. Okay.
• 52:48
  Speaker 15: I would imagine this bush is like right off, I was imagining
• 52:51
  Speaker 15: the bushes right along the door, like right along the wall.
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: We're like, we're here.
• 52:54
  Speaker 15: And then the door is like, here.
• 52:56
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. The door is not far.
• 52:57
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 52:57
  Connor (Dez): We're good.
• 52:58
  Connor (Dez): Uh, okay.
• 52:59
  Connor (Dez): So, Kato, you're invisible.
• 53:01
  Connor (Dez): Roderick is invisible.
• 53:02
  Connor (Dez): Kato, you bang on the door.
• 53:06
  Connor (Dez): Uh, and you've got Maki, who's standing there doing a show.
• 53:10
  Connor (Dez): So the door opens a crack.
• 53:16
  Connor (Dez): And standing there is the same figure.
• 53:18
  Connor (Dez): Although this time his brows are
• 53:20
  Connor (Dez): furled in a somewhat angry and
• 53:22
  Connor (Dez): before dying.
• 53:23
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, before he can even say anything.
• 53:26
  Speaker 12: He's not waking up.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: He's stopped breathing.
• 53:30
  Speaker 12: He's dying.
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: His eyes are rolling back.
• 53:33
  Connor (Dez): Okay. And so this display is happening.
• 53:35
  Connor (Dez): Order of operations starting with des.
• 53:38
  Connor (Dez): Yes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 15: Des throws the hand bag of tricks and a black bears.
• 53:44
  Speaker 12: The black bears.
• 53:45
  Connor (Dez): The best one.
• 53:47
  Speaker 12: As.
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: It appear behind him.
• 53:48
  Speaker 12: Then?
• 53:48
  Speaker 15: Yes, I think so.
• 53:49
  Speaker 15: How big is this bag?
• 53:50
  Speaker 15: Is it like a baseball size or is it like a Santa?
• 53:53
  Speaker 13: He was imagining it like a little sandbag.
• 53:55
  Speaker 13: You know, like those?
• 53:56
  Speaker 15: Yeah, like a little coin bag in the palm of your hand.
• 53:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 53:58
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: And he just, like, throws it back.
• 54:00
  Speaker 15: And I think.
• 54:01
  Connor (Dez): It's just a no. You reach into the bank and you pull out a ball
• 54:04
  Connor (Dez): of fur, and then you throw that and then that grows into the
• 54:08
  Connor (Dez): full sized animal.
• 54:10
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, yeah.
• 54:10
  Speaker 24: So how is your baseball throw?
• 54:12
  Speaker 24: Are you throwing it through the crack?
• 54:13
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 54:14
  Speaker 15: He's trying to throw it inside
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: like behind to get behind the
• 54:17
  Speaker 15: guy.
• 54:18
  Connor (Dez): So I'm gonna have you make a ranged attack, basically.
• 54:21
  Connor (Dez): Okay, so whatever ranged weapon,
• 54:23
  Connor (Dez): just roll off of that,
• 54:24
  Connor (Dez): basically.
• 54:26
  Speaker 15: Fifteen.
• 54:26
  Connor (Dez): That's solid.
• 54:27
  Connor (Dez): Yeah. You fling this ball of fur past you.
• 54:30
  Connor (Dez): You see him?
• 54:32
  Connor (Dez): His eye, one eye completely separate from the other.
• 54:35
  Connor (Dez): One follows this ball of fur as it flies back past him.
• 54:39
  Connor (Dez): The other eye you can see is like scanning the bush.
• 54:42
  Connor (Dez): He reaches down and pulls out a
• 54:44
  Connor (Dez): hand crossbow and fires it into
• 54:47
  Connor (Dez): the bush.
• 54:48
  Connor (Dez): Um, it doesn't hit you, but it
• 54:50
  Connor (Dez): it lands like probably an inch
• 54:53
  Connor (Dez): and a half away from wherever
• 54:54
  Connor (Dez): you're standing.
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: He just kind of scribbles on his his chalkboard.
• 54:58
  Speaker 15: Yikes.
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: Yikes.
• 55:00
  Speaker 15: You hold that up.
• 55:02
  Speaker 18: Out of the bush.
• 55:04
  Speaker 18: What is the.
• 55:04
  Speaker 18: I was gonna say, what is this like?
• 55:06
  Speaker 18: Uh, I mean, Looney Tunes.
• 55:08
  Speaker 15: I would love to do that.
• 55:10
  Speaker 15: Like Wile E coyote, right?
• 55:12
  Speaker 15: I probably shouldn't.
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: Oh, okay.
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: That's just for him.
• 55:14
  Speaker 12: That's fair.
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: But then the bear.
• 55:17
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 55:17
  Connor (Dez): So there is a bear now.
• 55:19
  Connor (Dez): Black bear inside the castle right now just passed him.
• 55:23
  Connor (Dez): What are the rest of you guys doing?
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: Well, does he turn around?
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: Yeah. What's the bear do?
• 55:28
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 55:29
  Speaker 15: This whole plan kind of hinges
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: on this guy turning around the
• 55:32
  Speaker 15: bear.
• 55:32
  Connor (Dez): I think the bear sort of appears.
• 55:34
  Connor (Dez): I think it's a little like, you
• 55:35
  Connor (Dez): know, off for a moment, looking
• 55:37
  Connor (Dez): around, observing its its
• 55:39
  Connor (Dez): situation.
• 55:40
  Connor (Dez): And then it turns and sees the guy.
• 55:42
  Connor (Dez): This is when things get really freaky because you guys watch as
• 55:46
  Connor (Dez): his head just rotates one hundred eighty degrees, uh, to
• 55:51
  Connor (Dez): to glare at this bear.
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: And does he just stare at the bear?
• 55:57
  Connor (Dez): Yeah, they kind of just stare at each other.
• 55:59
  Connor (Dez): At the moment.
• 55:59
  Connor (Dez): There's an intense standoff.
• 56:01
  Connor (Dez): The bear's a little unsure what to do.
• 56:03
  Connor (Dez): Uh, and the guy is just keeping
• 56:06
  Connor (Dez): an eye on it to decide what to
• 56:08
  Connor (Dez): do.
• 56:08
  Connor (Dez): Also, what are the rest of you guys?
• 56:09
  Speaker 24: But there is still no opening at the door.
• 56:12
  Connor (Dez): It's the narrow opening he's allowed so far.
• 56:14
  Speaker 15: Says I can.
• 56:15
  Speaker 13: Use three a day.
• 56:16
  Speaker 13: Can I throw another animal in there?
• 56:17
  Speaker 13: Just.
• 56:18
  Connor (Dez): I think if you throw one in, I think the other one goes away.
• 56:21
  Speaker 13: Oh, okay.
• 56:21
  Connor (Dez): So you might have gotten best
• 56:22
  Connor (Dez): case scenario, all things
• 56:23
  Connor (Dez): considered.
• 56:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the black bears.
• 56:25
  Speaker 13: But he's not currently looking at us.
• 56:28
  Speaker 13: That is true.
• 56:28
  Speaker 13: He's looking at the bear.
• 56:30
  Connor (Dez): Correct.
• 56:30
  Speaker 13: Yes. So can we use this opportunity?
• 56:32
  Speaker 13: Is there enough room in the crack for me?
• 56:35
  Speaker 13: And we're little.
• 56:36
  Speaker 24: I think Kato may still be able to project an echo.
• 56:40
  Speaker 24: Oh, yeah, he can teleport.
• 56:42
  Speaker 13: And he's invisible.
• 56:43
  Connor (Dez): So you can basically cast your echo and then follow it because.
• 56:48
  Connor (Dez): Oh. Very cool.
• 56:49
  Connor (Dez): Okay.
• 56:49
  Connor (Dez): Um, so yes, you can do that.
• 56:51
  Speaker 13: Can I just dive through his legs?
• 56:53
  Connor (Dez): I would say yes, you can do that because you're, you're
• 56:55
  Connor (Dez): technically a small creature.
• 56:56
  Speaker 13: I'm a goblin.
• 56:57
  Connor (Dez): Okay. And yeah, absolutely.
• 56:58
  Connor (Dez): So the two invisible people are now inside the mansion.
• 57:03
  Speaker 24: And at that point, we just, I'm at least just kind of looking
• 57:06
  Speaker 24: for what happens next because eventually I assume the plan is
• 57:10
  Speaker 24: going to be to unlock the door from the inside.
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: My way to a corner and just kind of wait.
• 57:15
  Speaker 24: And let the chaos ensue.
• 57:17
  Speaker 12: I drag Soares into the bush.
• 57:20
  Speaker 18: Okay, you just pull him.
• 57:21
  Connor (Dez): Off the stoop and back into the bush.
• 57:24
  Connor (Dez): Um, I think the sound of which causes him to turn around.
• 57:27
  Connor (Dez): He sees that you're pulling him away.
• 57:29
  Connor (Dez): He closes the door.
• 57:31
  Connor (Dez): And then for the two of you that are inside the mansion, you
• 57:34
  Connor (Dez): watch as this individual turns towards the bear.
• 57:38
  Connor (Dez): He stomps towards it, and as he
• 57:41
  Connor (Dez): does, he is withdrawing a
• 57:44
  Connor (Dez): hammer.
• 57:45
  Connor (Dez): Now this.
• 57:46
  Connor (Dez): It's a war hammer.
• 57:47
  Connor (Dez): It's a large hammer, but it's different than you've seen
• 57:51
  Connor (Dez): before because on this hammer you see a variety of sort of
• 57:54
  Connor (Dez): whirring cogs and bits of machinery, as if this hammer is
• 58:01
  Connor (Dez): sort of adjusting itself.
• 58:03
  Connor (Dez): As he approaches this black bear, which stands up on its
• 58:08
  Connor (Dez): haunches, readying an attack, he lifts his hammer in the air and
• 58:13
  Connor (Dez): brings it down and crushes the black bear in one.
• 58:18
  Speaker 13: Does the black bear not like do anything?
• 58:20
  Speaker 13: Like do the animals not do.
• 58:21
  Speaker 13: It can.
• 58:22
  Connor (Dez): Attack.
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: How?
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: How can I make it attack?
• 58:24
  Speaker 13: Or does it just have to attack on its own volition?
• 58:27
  Connor (Dez): I think it it considers you a friendly creature.
• 58:29
  Connor (Dez): And then if I remember
• 58:30
  Connor (Dez): correctly, it will follow your
• 58:32
  Connor (Dez): orders.
• 58:32
  Connor (Dez): But I think that's kind of where.
• 58:33
  Speaker 13: The doors kind of shut.
• 58:35
  Speaker 13: I probably should have whispered to the ball of fur before
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: throwing it in.
• 58:39
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 58:39
  Speaker 13: So I didn't know that.
• 58:41
  Speaker 13: I can't whisper, oh, oh yeah, you can't talk.
• 58:45
  Speaker 13: Do I have to, like, write the game plan?
• 58:47
  Speaker 13: I have to write like the like the game.
• 58:49
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 58:49
  Speaker 13: So I just draw the X and draw the blinds.
• 58:52
  Speaker 13: This is where you attack here.
• 58:53
  Connor (Dez): You just say, kill that guy.
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: Football coach.
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 58:56
  Connor (Dez): Like you can be vague because
• 58:57
  Connor (Dez): you're the person that cast it
• 58:59
  Connor (Dez): per se.
• 58:59
  Connor (Dez): You can be vague to the creature
• 59:01
  Connor (Dez): and it'll understand your
• 59:02
  Connor (Dez): meaning.
• 59:02
  Connor (Dez): But with that being said, I mean, you have no way to
• 59:05
  Connor (Dez): currently communicate with it.
• 59:06
  Connor (Dez): With it being behind the door,
• 59:08
  Connor (Dez): this individual goes up and just
• 59:10
  Connor (Dez): absolutely crushes this bear in
• 59:12
  Connor (Dez): one hit with that crushing blow,
• 59:15
  Connor (Dez): with that dead bear lying there
• 59:17
  Connor (Dez): in a pool of blood, the two of
• 59:18
  Connor (Dez): you invisible.
• 59:20
  Connor (Dez): Look at this with horror.
• 59:22
  Connor (Dez): And that is where we'll close out today's episode.
