>> Jarjeev: Hello, weary traveler. I'm not
0:12
sure what strange magic must
0:14
have brought you here, but you
0:15
have stepped into a realm of
0:17
my creation. A ah, sprawling
0:19
city filled with danger and
0:21
glory, and most importantly,
0:24
lots of gold. I call it I La
0:27
Nomis. Who am I, you might
0:29
ask? The name is Jarjeev, and
0:31
I'm the patron deity of
0:33
gambling. Long story short,
0:36
this group of idiots, or as
0:38
you may call them, heroes,
0:40
made a bet with me that they
0:41
had what it took to make a
0:42
bastroph of gold, but left
0:45
some of the key details blank.
0:47
So I filled them in myself. I
0:50
sent them to this pocket
0:51
dimension into the city I had
0:53
created with with brand new
0:55
bodies they'd have to attune
0:57
to. Can these fools pass my
0:59
test? Or will they be trapped
1:01
here forever? So experience my
1:04
world of trials and
1:05
tribulations and join
1:07
alongside this posse of
1:09
pitiful people. Or as I like
1:11
to call them, the criminals of
1:13
Isla Numis.
1:16
>> Speaker B: Welcome back everybody, to
1:17
another episode of the
1:18
Criminals of Isle of Newness.
1:19
We're on episode 35. Can you
1:21
you guys believe it? 35 whole
1:23
episodes. My mind is blown.
1:26
But with that being said, we
1:27
can't have 35 episodes until
1:29
we get into this 35th episode.
1:32
So before we can jump in,
1:33
let's introduce the players
1:35
and their characters to my
1:36
right as pretty much always.
1:38
Dave playing Maki.
1:41
>> Speaker C: Yep, I'm m still playing. Maki
1:43
hasn't died yet, so we'll try
1:46
to keep that going if we can
1:47
get out of this factory.
1:48
>> Speaker B: Oh yeah, that's true too. You
1:50
guys got some stress coming
1:51
your way. Hopefully everyone's
1:53
meant to deal with that
1:54
stress, including Fatty
1:56
Lumpkins, who's playing Keto.
1:58
>> Speaker D: Yes, I'm Keto and I am half
2:01
dead. Looking forward to not
2:03
becoming fully dead.
2:04
>> Speaker B: Yeah, I was going to say,
2:04
you're a minute and 30 seconds
2:06
away from that possibility,
2:08
but thankfully you've got
2:10
quick, nimble individuals like
2:13
Jackson. As a person who is
2:15
playing dez as. As this
2:17
character who may or may not
2:18
be somewhat quick and nimble,
2:19
we don't know, but Jackson
2:20
certainly is.
2:21
>> Speaker E: yeah, I'm Jack. I play dez.
2:23
DEZ has a long history of
2:25
short term memory loss.
2:26
>> Speaker D: Oh, really?
2:28
>> Speaker B: Does he remember? is it. That
2:30
feels like a really great
2:30
cover if you were like, I
2:31
forgot all my facts that I've
2:33
given up until this point. So
2:35
yeah, fun fact. They're all
2:36
things that he forgot.
2:37
>> Speaker E: fun Jack fact. I think about
2:39
every fact that I tell you on
2:40
my drive over here.
2:41
>> Speaker B: Oh, all right. And you managed
2:43
to get One in the time.
2:45
>> Speaker D: Like new.
2:46
>> Speaker E: Yeah, like everything that I
2:47
tell you.
2:48
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
2:48
>> Speaker E: Have told you. I think about
2:49
it on my drive here, just so
2:51
that I. The new one that I
2:53
come up with on the spot, does
2:54
not contradict an old one.
2:56
>> Speaker F: Wow.
2:56
>> Speaker B: So do you have them written
2:57
down or.
2:57
>> Speaker D: No.
2:58
>> Speaker B: God. Wow. Holy cow. That's
2:59
impressive.
3:00
>> Speaker D: How do you do that with short
3:01
term memory? How do I do what?
3:03
>> Speaker B: How do I do what?
3:04
>> Speaker E: Fair enough.
3:05
>> Speaker D: Yeah. Moving on.
3:06
>> Speaker B: Yeah. Sitting next to,
3:08
Jackson, we've got Cameron,
3:09
who is playing.
3:10
>> Speaker D: Could be like. Wait, you
3:11
forgotten me?
3:16
>> Speaker B: Rory.
3:17
>> Speaker D: Hey, what's up?
3:18
>> Speaker B: Hey, you're in the. In the
3:20
game.
3:20
>> Speaker D: Yep, that's me.
3:21
>> Speaker E: Hi.
3:21
>> Speaker B: Welcome. Welcome back. and
3:23
then finally, last but not
3:25
least, we've got Quinn and he
3:26
is playing our beloved little
3:29
sauce.
3:30
>> Speaker D: Almost died.
3:31
>> Speaker B: Didn't die. Let's go. Hashtag
3:32
almost died. Hashtag didn't
3:34
die. That sounds kind of cool,
3:36
actually. That should be your
3:37
tag. Anyway, with that being
3:38
said, we will jump back into
3:41
today's episode of Criminals
3:43
Violinumas. Where we left off.
3:51
You guys were all inside the
3:52
Steelborn factory, having just
3:54
defeated Professor, I believe
3:57
is Augustus Steelborn, the
4:00
owner of this mostly defunct
4:03
factory repurposed as a
4:05
Euphoria manufacturing plant.
4:08
The drug that you guys have
4:09
kind of been following in the
4:11
heels of. Now, you found this
4:13
plant. You've got friends from
4:14
Rock Bottoms that were just
4:16
part of a giant fight. You've
4:18
got Gravestone, the living
4:19
skeleton, owner and
4:21
proprietor, both of the Rock
4:22
Bottoms Club, as well as the
4:25
Rocks, as they call
4:26
themselves, the sort of semi
4:29
criminal organization, you
4:30
know, the very like Robin Hood
4:32
types do, doing bad things for
4:33
good reason. Or at least so
4:35
they say. you have with you
4:38
Rusty. He is the Dwarven Monk,
4:42
and he has been fighting
4:43
against the, various members
4:46
or employees of this Euphoria
4:47
factory. And you came with
4:50
Sprout, the halfling that you
4:52
guys discovered was actually
4:53
selling Euphoria. He's the one
4:55
that was able to lead you guys
4:56
here as sort of recompense,
4:58
punishment, if you will, for
5:00
the fact that he was involved
5:01
in the Euphoria trade, which
5:02
Gravestone had told him was a
5:04
big no, no. And last but not
5:07
least, you have Grizzle Tooth,
5:09
the currently unconscious, if
5:13
not dead, Bugbear bouncer from
5:18
the Rock Bottom club. And to
5:21
top off that horrific
5:22
possibility, you guys have
5:25
just heard an announcement go
5:26
over the loudspeakers of this
5:27
factory telling you that you
5:29
have 1 minute and 30 seconds
5:31
to evacuate because this place
5:33
is about to blow. what do you
5:35
do?
5:36
>> Speaker D: Did I get all the stuff out of
5:39
the safe.
5:42
>> Speaker B: I. I will have you, you know,
5:46
>> Speaker D: because I was going to the
5:47
safe with my held action.
5:48
>> Speaker B: You did. Yes, you did dive for
5:50
it. Yep.
5:51
>> Speaker D: Okay.
5:51
>> Speaker B: Roll a. I'm gonna call it
5:53
sleight of hand. Not because
5:55
you're trying to do something
5:55
secretly.
5:57
>> Speaker D: Well, I rolled a natural 19
6:00
and then I add 12 to it. Okay.
6:04
I don't know what that is. 31.
6:06
>> Speaker B: Yeah, I would say yes.
6:09
>> Speaker D: Oh, I did get it all.
6:11
>> Speaker B: Yes.
6:11
>> Speaker D: Okay.
6:11
>> Speaker B: There's no reason not.
6:13
>> Speaker D: I mean, I rolled 31 with that
6:14
much.
6:14
>> Speaker B: With that high of a roll.
6:16
>> Speaker D: I think it was my action. Yes.
6:18
Because I held my action to. I
6:21
did it, and then I attacked
6:23
the guy when it came all the
6:24
way back to my next turn. Oh,
6:25
okay.
6:26
>> Speaker B: So in the meantime, between
6:27
your action, or I guess
6:28
between that action, basically
6:30
I was grab.
6:30
>> Speaker D: I like reach. I guess I did in
6:32
one motion because I had my.
6:34
My bag folding. Yeah. And I
6:36
just, like one motion. Just
6:37
moved everything in the bag
6:39
really quick.
6:39
>> Speaker B: Put your armor.
6:40
>> Speaker D: And I turned around and I saw
6:41
all this combat, and that's
6:43
when I stepped in. But also,
6:44
he did monologue.
6:46
>> Speaker B: He did monologue a bit. That's
6:47
true. And he also. Yeah, when
6:49
he was dying, when he was
6:50
laying there in pieces thanks
6:51
to Keto slicing him into
6:53
chunks and Maki's shadow, Dog
6:55
ripping him several.
6:57
>> Speaker D: And his meteor shower,
6:58
whatever he did.
6:58
>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah, and the meteor
6:59
shower. Yep, that's right.
7:01
Tearing into pieces. he did
7:03
have some time in his sort of
7:04
robotic remaining state to say
7:07
some things that hopefully you
7:09
guys remember. we'll see. with
7:11
that being said, you've got a.
7:13
A bag of holding with a bunch
7:15
of stuff from this safe in it.
7:17
You guys.
7:18
>> Speaker D: You're gonna tell me or you
7:19
gonna wait till after this?
7:20
>> Speaker B: Oh, I'll wait till after.
7:21
Because you. You don't have
7:22
time to look in there right
7:23
now.
7:24
>> Speaker D: I just was to write it down.
7:26
>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I'll
7:27
remember. I'll remember.
7:28
Mostly because I haven't fully
7:30
made up what's in there yet.
7:32
So.
7:32
>> Speaker D: Okay, well, I guess by the
7:35
time
7:35
>> Speaker B: you guys manage to escape,
7:36
which is one.
7:37
>> Speaker D: It does matter if I need to go
7:38
back to the safe before I ran.
7:41
>> Speaker B: No, I mean, if you grabbed
7:42
everything in there.
7:42
>> Speaker D: Yeah.
7:43
>> Speaker B: Then you're good.
7:43
>> Speaker C: So did you guys hear what I
7:45
heard just now?
7:47
>> Speaker B: we gotta get out here.
7:49
>> Speaker C: Are there any of those
7:51
combatants on the main factory
7:53
floor left still?
7:54
>> Speaker B: the. The ones that are left
7:56
are currently like. So you had
7:58
your friends from the rock
7:59
bottoms that Were just like,
8:00
you guys go on ahead. We'll
8:01
fight them down here. so
8:03
there's a whole pile, a circle
8:04
around your friends, that are
8:06
just dead bodies, but
8:08
otherwise, anyone that was
8:09
still alive, they are just
8:10
booking it out of this
8:11
facility. So they're taking
8:13
this pretty seriously.
8:14
>> Speaker E: real quick, we are on in an
8:16
office. Yes, the office. It's
8:18
elevated, but is it on a wall
8:20
of the factory?
8:21
>> Speaker B: Yes. On the back wall?
8:22
>> Speaker E: Yep, on the back wall. did the
8:25
boss break a hole in that wall
8:27
last time? He broke a window.
8:29
>> Speaker B: The window that overlooks the
8:31
facility. But what I will tell
8:32
you is there is a window
8:34
behind you.
8:35
>> Speaker E: DEZ jumps out that window.
8:37
>> Speaker B: Do you want me to tell you how
8:38
high up it is or. Don't care.
8:39
>> Speaker E: Don't care.
8:40
>> Speaker B: Okay, just.
8:40
>> Speaker E: Des out.
8:41
>> Speaker B: Des jumps up. You guys watch
8:43
as DEZ looks at you guys and
8:45
then just leaps out, Shatters
8:48
the tree. It's not like heavy
8:49
glass by any. Are Kenku
8:51
flightless birds or. They fly.
8:52
>> Speaker E: They do not fly.
8:54
>> Speaker B: Do not fly.
8:54
>> Speaker D: Yes, I wave. I wave bye to,
8:56
them.
8:56
>> Speaker E: They're as salute.
8:58
>> Speaker B: Wings are, ah, just too small
9:00
for the big fat bodies.
9:02
>> Speaker D: Doing a B movie, Bill.
9:03
>> Speaker B: Yes, thank you. What about the
9:06
rest of you guys? Is he dead?
9:07
No, he just jumped out the
9:08
window. Are you. Here's my
9:10
question to you, Lil Sauce.
9:12
Are you just gonna stare out
9:13
the window? You have a minute
9:14
and 30 seconds to get out of
9:15
this. Oh, no, you're just
9:16
gonna look out the window and
9:17
watch. Did he make it?
9:19
>> Speaker D: Well, I mean, he jumps. It
9:21
won't take that long for him
9:22
>> Speaker B: to hit the ground. That's
9:22
true.
9:23
>> Speaker D: You're not. I mean, by the
9:24
time he dropped, I mean,
9:25
you're looking at maybe like
9:26
three seconds.
9:27
>> Speaker B: Did he die?
9:28
>> Speaker D: Depends on his terminal
9:29
velocity and air resistance
9:31
and magic. Also depends on
9:32
what he does before he lands.
9:35
What do you land on? I look
9:36
out the window. What do you
9:37
land on?
9:37
>> Speaker E: I've got ideas. I've got
9:39
ideas.
9:39
>> Speaker B: The ground down there. It's.
9:40
He.
9:41
>> Speaker D: Okay.
9:41
>> Speaker E: I want my swarm to catch me.
9:44
>> Speaker D: Okay. Okay. Yeah.
9:45
>> Speaker C: All right.
9:46
>> Speaker E: My little twig guys.
9:48
>> Speaker B: Do they have. They have stats,
9:49
right?
9:49
>> Speaker E: Yeah, I think so.
9:51
>> Speaker D: Yeah.
9:51
>> Speaker B: do a strength save.
9:54
>> Speaker D: Keto had a spell cast on him
9:56
before the caster of said
9:57
spell was knocked unconscious.
9:59
Does he still retain that
10:00
spell?
10:01
>> Speaker B: That's a good question. I'm
10:02
glad that you asked that,
10:04
because that was something
10:05
that was kind of going through
10:06
my mind as well. Okay. Yes, it
10:09
does require, concentration,
10:11
so. Because Lil Sauce casted
10:13
on you and he was Knocked
10:14
unconscious. You do not have
10:16
spider climb anymore.
10:17
>> Speaker D: Okay.
10:18
>> Speaker B: Sorry.
10:18
>> Speaker D: Well, I'm glad we asked before
10:19
I jumped out the.
10:20
>> Speaker B: That's a very fair point.
10:22
>> Speaker D: Is the, bomb, like, right in
10:23
front of us?
10:24
>> Speaker B: You have no idea where the
10:25
bomb is? You just heard the
10:26
announcement when. When you
10:29
defeated him. It kind of
10:30
seemed like there's one of two
10:33
possibilities here. Because
10:34
you saw a red light sort of in
10:36
a beeping sound inside the
10:38
chest.
10:38
>> Speaker D: Did we see that?
10:39
>> Speaker E: Yeah, I think he did.
10:40
>> Speaker D: I thought the only one.
10:42
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
10:43
>> Speaker D: Oh, I thought he was behind
10:44
his desk. Sorry.
10:44
>> Speaker B: No, no, no.
10:45
>> Speaker D: Like, it was in his chest.
10:46
>> Speaker B: There's a. Yes, there's a
10:47
beeping and a sort of
10:48
throbbing red light pulsating,
10:51
in the chest of Augustus. So
10:53
you're led to believe two
10:54
things. One of two things.
10:55
Either the bomb is inside of
10:57
his chest, or there's a bomb
10:59
somewhere in this facility
11:00
that was activated by
11:02
whatever's inside of his chest
11:03
that obviously went off when
11:05
his. When he dies.
11:07
>> Speaker D: Do we have the Rocky Cocky.
11:08
>> Speaker B: Yeah, somebody does.
11:11
>> Speaker E: There is no stat block for the
11:12
swarm.
11:13
>> Speaker B: Oh, okay. I'll have you do a,
11:15
strict save if we.
11:16
>> Speaker D: If time stops when we go into
11:18
the arcade. Correct. Yes.
11:20
Jarjun, We m. Want to level
11:22
up. Who has the rock. If it's
11:25
him, we're screwed.
11:26
>> Speaker B: I. I do wanna.
11:27
>> Speaker D: I think it would be. Really.
11:28
>> Speaker E: Des never carries the rock.
11:30
>> Speaker B: That's fair.
11:31
>> Speaker D: Nor does Kido. Which one
11:32
picked it up after the, the
11:34
cultist thing?
11:35
>> Speaker B: Maki, maybe.
11:37
>> Speaker D: We found it in that one room,
11:38
right?
11:39
>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I think you did.
11:40
>> Speaker D: Yeah. I thought it was Maki.
11:42
Maki, quick, tell Jarjum that
11:44
we want to go to the arcade.
11:45
It freezes time. We can think
11:46
this through. It freezes time
11:48
here or it gets sucked up
11:49
there.
11:50
>> Speaker B: No, freezes time here. We'll
11:52
get sucked up there.
11:53
>> Speaker D: It freezes time here. So we
11:55
can at least sink this
11:56
through.
11:58
>> Speaker C: Okay. Hey, Darjee.
11:59
>> Speaker D: Mom. Yeah.
12:00
>> Speaker C: Nice. How about a trip to that
12:03
arcade of yours?
12:03
>> Speaker B: Oh, you guys ready to level
12:05
up? Oh, did you find something
12:07
cool in that factory? Oh,
12:09
yeah. Oh, very nice. What did
12:11
you find?
12:12
>> Speaker C: It would blow your mind, what
12:13
we found.
12:14
>> Speaker B: Oh, man. Tell me about it.
12:18
>> Speaker D: Time pause. All this is up?
12:19
Nope. That's why I thought you
12:22
on the arcade.
12:22
>> Speaker B: Oh, all right. And a portal
12:24
open, or. Actually, no, portal
12:25
doesn't open up. You just. You
12:26
just. You all start glowing.
12:29
Yeah. You start going. I guess
12:32
so. You're, like, falling
12:33
through the air. Des. And then
12:35
you're like, oh, here comes
12:36
the ground. This is gonna
12:37
hurt. And then you suddenly
12:39
get sucked into this arcade as
12:42
well.
12:42
>> Speaker D: Let's go way. Does that cancel
12:46
out my velocity, momentum and
12:48
velocity pause?
12:49
>> Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, he. So it pauses
12:52
everything, including your
12:53
location. You're not being put
12:54
anywhere different when you go
12:56
into the arcade and then you
12:57
come back out. Right.
12:58
>> Speaker E: Or you think it's like a.
12:59
>> Speaker B: Which is interesting. I've
13:00
always thought about that.
13:01
It's our subconscious, that is
13:02
entering the arcade.
13:04
>> Speaker E: Paused world mental imagery.
13:07
>> Speaker B: Yeah, I like that. So, yeah,
13:08
basically your physical bodies
13:10
and everything in this world
13:11
is essentially frozen in time.
13:13
And then, yeah, your mental.
13:15
Mental state, or visit astral
13:18
projection. Yes. Is teleported
13:20
to this arcade. And you guys
13:23
find yourself inside the level
13:24
up arcade. And, there's all
13:26
kinds of arcade games around
13:28
you. All sort of blinking
13:29
lights. And, you see the
13:31
robot, Benji Boy? Benji, he's.
13:34
He's just playing. He doesn't
13:36
even turn to look at you guys
13:37
because he's like in. He's a.
13:38
He's in a game really, like
13:39
intensely, right? Yeah, he's a
13:41
gamer, boy. He's a gamer.
13:42
Benji boy. you see the. The
13:44
prize booth, you see the coin
13:46
machine, and there's Jar Jim
13:48
standing there and he says,
13:48
welcome back to the level up
13:50
arcade. What kind of cool
13:51
stuff did you find in that
13:52
nifty factory? tell me all
13:54
about it.
13:55
>> Speaker D: So why didn't we just. I
13:57
ignore him. Why didn't we
13:58
just, like, run out the front
13:59
door? We still can. Why are we
14:03
here? To think about if
14:05
there's enough time to see if
14:06
we still can.
14:07
>> Speaker E: There was like, DEZ gestures
14:09
to himself
14:09
>> Speaker D: and then like, do what DEZ did
14:11
and we could just land on dez.
14:13
Are you okay?
14:14
>> Speaker E: He bats himself down, nods.
14:18
>> Speaker D: You guys just want to jump out
14:19
the window? oh, sorry, Jar
14:20
Jim. Give us two minutes.
14:22
>> Speaker B: I'm, sure. Can I listen?
14:24
>> Speaker D: Yeah.
14:24
>> Speaker C: Oh, cool.
14:25
>> Speaker B: I like being part of the
14:26
huddle, basically.
14:28
>> Speaker D: You have any ideas, Jar Jim?
14:29
Basically, there's a big old
14:31
bomb about to go off. We got a
14:33
minute 30 to get out of there.
14:34
We about to come here and talk
14:35
it out first.
14:36
>> Speaker B: Did you guys already ask your
14:37
question from the day?
14:38
>> Speaker D: No.
14:38
>> Speaker B: No. any ideas? Is that what
14:40
you wanted to ask me?
14:42
>> Speaker D: Well, that's a yes or no
14:43
question. So no, he could just
14:44
say, yeah, I got an idea. Look
14:46
at you're thinking it through
14:47
there.
14:47
>> Speaker E: Little sauce.
14:48
>> Speaker B: I'm proud of you.
14:49
>> Speaker D: This was just conversation.
14:51
>> Speaker B: Oh, interesting, interesting.
14:53
There's a lot of people. I
14:55
tell them, you get free yes or
14:56
no questions. They say, well,
14:57
could we just have a
14:58
conversation?
14:58
>> Speaker D: What do you mean by a lot of
15:00
people?
15:00
>> Speaker B: Oh, man, so many people who
15:02
I've spoken with.
15:03
>> Speaker D: I say, who else are you
15:05
talking to? Oh.
15:06
>> Speaker B: Why? Are you jealous?
15:08
>> Speaker D: Yeah. I thought we're the only
15:09
ones trapped in this world.
15:12
>> Speaker B: are you saying fine for me,
15:14
Trapped? Technically speaking,
15:18
there's only probably one,
15:21
maybe two others that I can
15:23
think of off the top of my
15:24
head that are technically
15:25
trapped in this.
15:26
>> Speaker D: So they're like us?
15:27
>> Speaker B: define like us.
15:27
>> Speaker D: well, we're all from, you
15:29
know, the other. These aren't
15:31
our bodies.
15:32
>> Speaker B: The material plane.
15:33
>> Speaker D: Sure. I don't know what any of
15:35
that means, but you know what
15:37
I mean. These aren't our
15:38
bodies.
15:39
>> Speaker B: The Overworld. The bigger
15:40
world.
15:41
>> Speaker D: Oh, sure, yeah. Okay, so
15:43
there's other people from the
15:44
Overworld down here.
15:45
>> Speaker B: defined people. And he does,
15:48
like, air quotes.
15:49
>> Speaker D: No, I'm done defining things.
15:51
Just.
15:52
>> Speaker B: I'm trying to answer your
15:53
questions.
15:55
>> Speaker D: I point to the four of us and
15:57
I go, like us? We're all from
15:59
Overworld.
16:02
>> Speaker B: There are, like I said, at
16:03
least two others I can think
16:05
of that are in quotations.
16:07
Trapped like you, from the
16:11
Overworld.
16:12
>> Speaker D: Why didn't we get paired with
16:14
them?
16:15
>> Speaker B: they've been here a lot longer
16:17
than you guys have. Especially
16:19
one of them.
16:20
>> Speaker D: Who are they?
16:22
>> Speaker B: Maybe I don't want to do you?
16:24
Let's say one of them was just
16:27
a nasty old hag that I wasn't
16:30
a big fan of, and she really
16:31
upset me. She tried to cheat
16:33
me. And so I made her a deal
16:36
and she lost. And then I put
16:38
her in the Islandubis. And now
16:41
that I think about it, the
16:42
other one actually kind of was
16:44
the same concept.
16:45
>> Speaker D: Why are we here?
16:46
>> Speaker E: Again, DEZ points to Rorick,
16:48
and this raises his eyebrows.
16:51
If he can see a Kinku's
16:52
eyebrows,
16:53
>> Speaker D: is it all, Right.
16:54
>> Speaker E: It writes on his whiteboard.
16:56
there seems to be a pattern
16:57
with people who get stuck in
16:58
here.
16:59
>> Speaker D: But why do you trap them?
17:00
>> Speaker B: Who?
17:01
>> Speaker D: The rest of my friends. I know
17:04
I'm in here because I threw
17:07
you into that lake and you got
17:08
eaten by all the meat sharks
17:09
and stuff. But, like, why are
17:11
they.
17:12
>> Speaker B: I figured it was. It would
17:14
have been a real lonely
17:15
experience for you.
17:16
>> Speaker D: Rock.
17:16
>> Speaker B: And also, well, I'm good at
17:19
making friends.
17:20
>> Speaker D: And I pull up my list that I
17:22
just made. I've got like,
17:23
seven on this list.
17:25
>> Speaker B: That's good. There's some good
17:27
souls down there back then.
17:29
well, no, that would be.
17:31
>> Speaker D: I can handle it. No, I'm a
17:34
brave Adventurer. Also, keep
17:36
in mind I don't want them here
17:37
because of me.
17:38
>> Speaker B: Well, you know, you guys all
17:39
were in the boat at the time
17:41
when I got thrown into the
17:42
waters. Anyone could have
17:44
stopped you.
17:45
>> Speaker D: Well, they did cheer.
17:46
>> Speaker B: They did cheers.
17:48
>> Speaker D: True.
17:48
>> Speaker B: And I like to look at a group
17:50
as a rock guy through.
17:52
>> Speaker D: You helped me. Who boy? this
17:55
is outside of this recording.
17:58
I was gonna say this is way
17:59
before we serve the contest.
18:01
>> Speaker B: Very critical role. Like they
18:02
had started before they
18:03
started.
18:03
>> Speaker D: The context was I made a bet
18:07
that I could throw him really
18:09
far into the lake and he
18:11
couldn't get back before dying
18:13
because I knew it was like
18:15
shark infested wires.
18:16
>> Speaker B: It was a, it was a creature in
18:18
the underdark whose name is
18:20
very hard to pronounce.
18:21
>> Speaker D: So what happened was I rolled
18:24
a nat one to throw him into
18:26
the water and I failed to even
18:29
throw him. Like, I tried to
18:30
shot put him and instead I
18:31
just kind of. He slipped out
18:32
of my hands before I threw
18:34
him, and he just kind of fell
18:35
into the boat when I was in.
18:36
And so I asked for help from
18:39
the rock guy. There was like a
18:41
rock troll thing. He would
18:43
talk really slow.
18:44
>> Speaker B: Yes, it was.
18:47
>> Speaker D: He was like my best friend on
18:48
that trip. Yes. And then I
18:50
asked him to help me throw him
18:52
Jar Jim. And we both threw him
18:55
really far into it because,
18:57
like, we rolled both, like 20
18:58
plus.
18:59
>> Speaker B: And the monsters in the water,
19:00
you saw them like overtake.
19:02
>> Speaker D: Overtake him and kill. And
19:03
then that was that.
19:05
>> Speaker B: He died.
19:05
>> Speaker D: And then we went to bed on the
19:07
boat. And then in the middle
19:08
of night, I woke up to Jar Jim
19:10
waking me up. And he's like,
19:12
you lost the bet. You lost the
19:13
bet. Pay up. And I said, I
19:15
just bet you you couldn't swim
19:16
back from the thing. I didn't
19:18
bet you. That would be on my
19:19
first throw. And that was
19:20
where we ended the session.
19:22
And then next session was
19:23
criminals of Island Numis. So
19:25
there's context. So now
19:29
Roerich was gonna say, what
19:31
about the rap guy who helped
19:32
throw you?
19:33
>> Speaker B: So just to clarify, you,
19:35
because you left the other
19:37
side of the bet like the. The.
19:39
What do you call it? The
19:40
winnings or the terms.
19:41
>> Speaker D: Yeah, Open. Yes.
19:42
>> Speaker B: It was kind of up to him.
19:43
>> Speaker D: Oh, no, he's. He's the God of.
19:45
Now I know he's. I didn't know
19:47
that at the time. In our
19:48
context of our game, he was
19:50
just a gnome who liked to
19:52
gamble.
19:52
>> Speaker B: Right.
19:53
>> Speaker D: He just wanted to make bets
19:54
whenever he could. But now we
19:56
know he's the God of gambling
19:58
and mischief. So it makes
20:00
sense.
20:01
>> Speaker B: So anyway, the rock guy, or
20:02
whatever he was.
20:04
>> Speaker D: What about the rock guy who,
20:05
helped throw you into the lake
20:06
with me?
20:07
>> Speaker B: Well, I figured he wasn't
20:09
really with you guys. He was.
20:10
>> Speaker D: But he was my best friend. New
20:13
best friend.
20:14
>> Speaker B: And he puts. He reaches up m.
20:15
And he puts his hand on your
20:16
shoulder and he says. I'm
20:17
gonna be honest. Leaving him
20:19
there without you guys was a
20:22
lot worse than sending him
20:24
here.
20:25
>> Speaker D: Did the boat sink?
20:27
>> Speaker B: because it was a big, big
20:28
>> Speaker D: bad thing over there. Oh,
20:29
There is, like a Kraken or
20:31
something.
20:32
>> Speaker B: Crazy stuff going on in the
20:34
underdog
20:36
>> Speaker D: desk. Stabbed it in the eye.
20:38
>> Speaker B: I was going to say the first
20:39
time you guys met, Des was
20:40
also, like, immediately before
20:42
he got sent into island. You
20:44
joined with the group, and
20:45
immediately you got thrown in
20:47
with these guys. The whole
20:48
island numis thing. But he
20:49
was. He was epically jumping,
20:52
like, off a. A toppling
20:54
building with his triton up in
20:55
the air, coming down on top of
20:57
this giant Kraken, like,
20:58
monster.
20:59
>> Speaker E: What was that other guy's
21:00
name?
21:00
>> Speaker D: Yeah, someone died. Your other
21:02
character died?
21:03
>> Speaker E: Yeah, he was. He was torn
21:04
apart by that big monster
21:06
thing. Right, right.
21:08
>> Speaker D: What's his name? You know,
21:09
what's his name?
21:09
>> Speaker E: Whoever it was.
21:10
>> Speaker B: So many names.
21:12
>> Speaker D: And then we met Dust. Des knew
21:15
us for not even a full day.
21:17
And you got me trapped in a
21:19
pocket dimension. And I can't
21:21
speak, so I will bring that
21:22
up. I'll be like, well, we
21:24
knew the rock guy for at least
21:25
a week. Des. We just met. Why
21:29
is he here?
21:30
>> Speaker B: Well, he seemed pretty intent
21:32
to hang out with you guys. The
21:33
stone guy.
21:34
>> Speaker E: Des, gives a thumbs up.
21:36
>> Speaker B: He, puts his hand on your
21:36
shoulder again. Or he's like,
21:38
I'm sorry to be the one to do
21:39
tell you this, but your
21:40
friendship didn't go both ways
21:43
with that guy.
21:44
>> Speaker D: I thought he was going to say
21:45
the ship sank. I thought he
21:47
was going to say his feelings
21:48
were romantic.
21:50
>> Speaker B: I got you out of a nasty
21:52
situation. Now I'm sorry.
21:54
>> Speaker D: Are you going to be okay? Oh,
21:56
I'll be fine. Okay. Because I,
21:57
I've. I've lost a lot worse.
22:00
But now you guys got me.
22:02
Speaking of which, why, Why
22:04
didn't we get other people?
22:06
Jarjan, what would I be if we
22:08
get out of here? What would
22:09
you make me? Wouldn't you be
22:11
just yourself? I don't want to
22:13
be a Kenku. Haven't you been a
22:15
Kenku your whole life? Well,
22:16
yeah, but, I mean, if you guys
22:19
got to change into something
22:20
new, maybe not by choice.
22:22
Still. Oh, you could have to
22:24
be a dwarf. Dwarves are the
22:25
best. Whatever you do, don't
22:27
pick elf man. I look straight
22:31
up.
22:32
>> Speaker B: I'll tell you what any good
22:34
parent would tell their child.
22:35
You can be whatever you want
22:37
to be.
22:38
>> Speaker D: Anyways, any, any ideas on how
22:40
to, like, maybe get, us out of
22:42
this, building? I don't know
22:43
if I'm in at 30 is enough to
22:45
run downstairs. We can just
22:46
jump out the window.
22:48
>> Speaker B: You could always just jump out
22:49
of.
22:49
>> Speaker D: What do you got for, like, you
22:50
know, tickets and stuff like
22:52
that? You got any special
22:53
abilities I can spend digits
22:54
on?
22:56
>> Speaker B: I mean, look at the document.
22:58
>> Speaker D: Well, I mean, yeah.
22:58
>> Speaker B: I mean, there's all kinds of
23:00
useful things in there.
23:03
>> Speaker C: Hey, what about this cloak
23:04
here?
23:05
>> Speaker B: This dark cloak?
23:07
>> Speaker C: Hey, this. This might fit me.
23:09
He's, looking at the cloak of
23:11
the bat.
23:12
>> Speaker B: Oh, the cloak of the cloak of
23:15
the bat. And you're standing
23:16
over by the, prize booth, of
23:18
course. And you're looking at
23:21
the cloak of the bat. you have
23:24
advantage on dexterity.
23:25
Darity. Stealth checks in an
23:26
area of dim light or darkness.
23:28
You can use it to fly at a
23:31
speed of 40ft once per day.
23:33
You can use your action to
23:34
polymorph yourself.
23:35
Transforming into a bat. He
23:38
says. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean,
23:39
hey, whoever wears something
23:40
like that, sure, they'd
23:42
probably be just fine. They
23:43
could fly right out of that
23:44
window.
23:45
>> Speaker D: How many of those do you have
23:46
in stock?
23:47
>> Speaker B: Oh, enough for everybody. But
23:48
you got 6,000 tickets a piece.
23:50
That's the real question.
23:53
>> Speaker C: I'm a little short.
23:54
>> Speaker D: We got 2,000. I could just
23:56
cast feather fall.
23:58
>> Speaker B: Sure.
23:58
>> Speaker C: Oh, you know that.
23:59
>> Speaker D: Yeah, I got it because of that
24:02
one time I was really high up
24:04
in the rafters, you know, when
24:07
we fought that little freak.
24:09
Silly fruit. No, I. Silly
24:11
frilly Willie.
24:12
>> Speaker B: What?
24:12
>> Speaker D: That freak.
24:13
>> Speaker B: You're a freak.
24:15
>> Speaker D: Not me. Why'd you say that?
24:17
>> Speaker B: That is.
24:18
>> Speaker D: It's like your third word.
24:19
You'll freak at me. He's just
24:22
mimicking what he said.
24:24
>> Speaker E: That's gonna be added to Dez's
24:26
lexicon.
24:27
>> Speaker B: Yes, Yes.
24:27
>> Speaker D: I love that.
24:29
>> Speaker B: That's a great line to have.
24:32
>> Speaker D: So, I'm sorry. I'm shaken from
24:35
just Des's third phrase being
24:38
just yelling freak.
24:39
>> Speaker B: It's pretty incredible.
24:41
>> Speaker D: All right. it was when we're
24:42
in that we try to kill
24:44
McGriddle. That wasn't
24:46
McGriddle. You know, when I
24:47
almost died?
24:48
>> Speaker B: Oh, the demon puppets.
24:49
>> Speaker E: Yeah.
24:50
>> Speaker D: I got knocked out. Anyways, I
24:52
was like, what if I fell from
24:53
that high up I would have
24:55
died. So I got feather fall
24:57
last time we were here when I
24:58
leveled up. And feather fall,
25:01
when I was reading the spell
25:02
description. Did you guys know
25:04
you could just read spell
25:05
descriptions in this place?
25:06
Like, it's a little box that
25:08
shows up when you pick spells.
25:09
>> Speaker B: Like, interface. Like this.
25:10
>> Speaker D: It's pretty cool. Anyways, it
25:13
said I could cast it on up to
25:14
five people, so. Well, DEZ is
25:18
already gone, but, there's
25:19
four of us, so now.
25:21
>> Speaker C: Well, that's.
25:21
>> Speaker D: That's. What does he do? It
25:23
makes it so you let me. And I.
25:25
I, like, move my hands, so,
25:27
like, a little text box pops
25:29
up in front of me, and I go,
25:31
feather fall. And I'm, like,
25:33
scrolling through it. Ah. yes.
25:34
Feather fall. It says. Choose
25:37
up to five falling creatures
25:38
within range. A fallen
25:40
creature. Rate of descent
25:41
slows to 60ft per second until
25:44
the spell ends. If the
25:45
creature lands before the
25:46
spell ends, it takes no fallen
25:48
damage and can land on its
25:49
feet. Well, that's convenient.
25:51
Is that our plan? We can jump
25:53
out the window. I was going to
25:55
suggest it, and then he just
25:56
jumped out the windows. But
25:58
first, I'm going to cast
25:59
healing word on the guy down
26:02
there. Oh, what about me? I
26:03
already used it on you. That's
26:05
how I revived you. But I can
26:06
use it again. But there's
26:07
someone knocked out down
26:08
there. That big guy. I like
26:10
him. Grizzle.
26:11
>> Speaker B: Grizzle tooth.
26:11
>> Speaker D: Yeah, Grizzle tooth. I was
26:13
going to cast it on him, and
26:14
then we could jump out. That's
26:16
fair. I'm just saying, if I
26:17
take another hit, I'm going
26:18
to. I'm going. I'm going down.
26:19
Well, again, I could just heal
26:21
you again. We don't get a lot
26:23
of time. Okay, we'll jump out.
26:25
Is that the plan? I mean, it's
26:27
a simple plan. Did anyone want
26:29
to level up while we're here?
26:32
>> Speaker E: DEZ holds up a finger and
26:33
writes, osborne, before we
26:35
leave, I want to buy two large
26:37
tokens.
26:38
>> Speaker B: Two large tokens.
26:40
>> Speaker C: All right.
26:40
>> Speaker B: You walk up, and your coins
26:43
shoot out of your little, coin
26:45
pouch and into the machine and
26:46
out pop two large tokens.
26:50
Which game would you like to
26:51
play?
26:52
>> Speaker E: Wheel of Mystery.
26:53
>> Speaker B: Wheel of, Mystery.
26:55
>> Speaker E: Des doesn't say that, but he
26:57
does gesture to the wheel of
26:58
Mystery. and just for record's
27:00
sake, so that I can use my
27:01
D20, I did roll a 19 on that
27:05
strength save.
27:06
>> Speaker B: Oh, okay. Okay, sounds good.
27:07
>> Speaker D: We.
27:08
>> Speaker E: I rolled it, but it never
27:09
came. But I really like that
27:10
roll, so
27:10
>> Speaker B: I want to keep it so you'll be
27:12
all right. All right, perfect.
27:13
So with the Wheel of Mystery,
27:14
you can roll with any skill.
27:16
So go ahead and choose a
27:18
skill, tell me what you go
27:19
with, and give me that roll.
27:21
And these are large tokens.
27:22
>> Speaker D: Are you just spinning the
27:23
wheel again?
27:24
>> Speaker E: I'm just spinning the wheel
27:26
again. any skill. But the
27:28
large prizes are plus one, any
27:30
level, right?
27:32
>> Speaker B: yeah.
27:32
>> Speaker E: Okay. So I can just say it's
27:34
based
27:34
>> Speaker B: on how successful you are.
27:35
>> Speaker E: So I could just say I'm going
27:37
to use. I'm going to use my
27:41
strength.
27:41
>> Speaker B: Okay.
27:42
>> Speaker D: Let me use strength.
27:43
>> Speaker B: Sounds good.
27:49
>> Speaker E: Oh, that is a, 22.
27:52
>> Speaker B: 22 plus one level in any
27:57
class. Or it's. It's a little.
28:00
Whatever, little toy thing
28:02
that comes out. Yes. I was
28:04
gonna say you're. You're a bit
28:05
behind, and I. I felt really
28:06
bad about that for so long.
28:08
And then with a 22, you get
28:12
1200 tickets. That just comes
28:14
spewing out of this wheel.
28:16
>> Speaker E: Okay. So let me write that
28:18
down because I will forget
28:19
that, everybody else,
28:20
>> Speaker B: except for DEZ and Lil Sauce,
28:24
are significantly higher level
28:26
than Lil Sauce.
28:28
>> Speaker E: I took a level in barbarian.
28:30
>> Speaker B: Okay.
28:30
>> Speaker E: Anyway, I'm, going to spin the
28:33
wheel again.
28:34
>> Speaker D: Oh, boy.
28:34
>> Speaker B: He's going at it again.
28:42
>> Speaker E: To five.
28:44
>> Speaker D: Good lord.
28:45
>> Speaker B: Oh, boy.
28:46
>> Speaker D: Is that a one?
28:47
>> Speaker E: It is a one. It was a nat one.
28:49
But with my modifiers of five,
28:50
don't
28:51
>> Speaker D: you have to tell if it's in
28:52
that one?
28:52
>> Speaker B: in this case, I wouldn't think
28:54
about it. interesting. You are
28:56
a ranger.
28:58
>> Speaker D: Huh? Huh?
28:59
>> Speaker E: Three Ranger.
29:01
>> Speaker B: The ability to spell cast.
29:03
>> Speaker E: Yes.
29:04
>> Speaker B: Okay. Because you would get
29:05
two spells.
29:07
>> Speaker E: I mean, I've got class action
29:09
spells, but. Yeah, Rangers do
29:11
spells, but they don't have,
29:13
like, I can change.
29:14
>> Speaker B: I'll change it. Because of the
29:16
fact that you don't have.
29:16
Because you don't have spell
29:17
slots.
29:18
>> Speaker D: Okay.
29:19
>> Speaker B: You just have. Right.
29:20
>> Speaker E: Yeah, but they're like class
29:21
actions, like in Searing
29:22
Strike.
29:23
>> Speaker B: And it'll usually say, like,
29:24
you can cast this once per
29:25
day.
29:25
>> Speaker E: Yeah, I get. Cure wounds I can
29:28
free once a day. Yeah. Bonus
29:29
spells free once a day.
29:30
>> Speaker B: Okay, let's go with, a feat.
29:33
>> Speaker E: A feat.
29:34
>> Speaker B: Yes.
29:35
>> Speaker E: What am I, a freak?
29:37
>> Speaker B: You get the, What's your
29:39
charisma?
29:39
>> Speaker E: What's my charisma? My
29:41
charisma is currently 13.
29:44
>> Speaker B: That's perfect. Okay. You get
29:45
the inspiring leader feat.
29:47
>> Speaker D: Okay.
29:48
>> Speaker B: So, it requires that you have
29:49
a charisma of 13 or higher. So
29:50
that's perfect. up to six
29:52
creatures within 30ft of you
29:54
can gain temporary HP equal to
29:57
your level plus your charisma
29:58
modifier.
29:59
>> Speaker E: Cool.
29:59
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
30:00
>> Speaker E: I'm gonna do that constantly.
30:02
>> Speaker B: Good, good. Awesome. There's
30:04
no point in having a feed if
30:05
you never use it. How
30:08
>> Speaker D: does he use this if he can't
30:10
talk?
30:10
>> Speaker E: Gestures, man.
30:11
>> Speaker B: Yep.
30:12
>> Speaker E: I'm coming up to you.
30:13
>> Speaker B: Oh, dude. He starts doing,
30:14
like, Fortnite dances.
30:15
>> Speaker D: I'd be inspired.
30:16
>> Speaker B: I love it.
30:17
>> Speaker E: Start yelling, freak.
30:22
>> Speaker B: Wow.
30:22
>> Speaker E: I feel great.
30:25
>> Speaker B: Thank you. Yes. Oh,
30:26
absolutely. Thanks for. Thanks
30:29
for stopping by. And, with
30:31
that, are you guys ready to
30:33
head back into the world of
30:35
running for your life?
30:36
>> Speaker D: I mean, you could, like, push
30:37
somewhere else.
30:38
>> Speaker B: Oh, I can't do that. That's.
30:40
That would break the rules.
30:43
>> Speaker D: Go for it.
30:44
>> Speaker B: All right. Ready, set, Go. And
31:03
he snaps his fingers, and you
31:04
guys all are back either in
31:06
the factory or, dez, who is
31:08
falling to the ground. And all
31:09
of a sudden, he just puts out
31:11
his hands. And you see this
31:12
swarm of these little twig
31:13
guys just start to pile up on
31:15
top of each other. And as he
31:17
falls into them, they kind of
31:19
like, almost like a big giant
31:21
spring. They sort of retract a
31:23
little bit, catching him
31:25
comfortably on the ground.
31:27
>> Speaker D: How far away is Grizzletooth
31:28
from us?
31:29
>> Speaker B: So they're like. So it's like
31:31
three, like, four stories, of
31:35
height between you and them.
31:37
And then they're actually
31:39
moving towards the exit. They
31:40
heard it, too. They're looking
31:42
up. They see you guys up
31:43
there. Gravestone, is waving
31:47
at you guys, like, get out.
31:49
Get out.
31:49
>> Speaker D: I wave back in a friendly
31:51
manner.
31:51
>> Speaker B: He gives you a thumbs up
31:53
because he knows that means
31:54
you know what's going on as
31:56
far as he's concerned. And
31:57
they're pulling grizzled.
31:58
>> Speaker D: Yes. Get out of here. Stay in
32:03
here.
32:04
>> Speaker B: No, no.
32:04
>> Speaker D: He said, get out of here. Oh,
32:06
you can hear him? Yeah.
32:08
>> Speaker C: Maki is trying to push this
32:10
guy's desk out the window.
32:12
>> Speaker B: Did you just, like, shatter
32:13
this huge strength. do a
32:15
strength check. Okay, so he'll
32:17
help. So do athletics with,
32:19
advantage kind of fall.
32:20
>> Speaker D: Right on, Dez.
32:22
>> Speaker C: athletics. I got, 15.
32:25
>> Speaker B: 15. Okay. You and I, I guess,
32:27
all things considered. I mean,
32:28
Keto has proven that he is a
32:29
very strong individual as
32:30
well. But. But thanks to his
32:32
help, the two of you are able
32:33
to pick up this table and hurl
32:34
it out the window, shattering
32:37
the glass. You hear an
32:38
announcement over the speaker.
32:39
Please evacuate this facility.
32:42
Will self destruct in one
32:45
minute.
32:46
>> Speaker C: you can never trust those
32:47
things. We gotta get out of
32:48
here. But let's take this guy
32:50
with Us. And I grab the,
32:54
What's his name?
32:55
>> Speaker B: Steel Prince.
32:55
>> Speaker D: He. The guy who has the
32:56
blinking bomb blows up. I,
32:58
mean, I could toss him in my
33:00
bag of holding.
33:01
>> Speaker C: Oh, it sounds.
33:02
>> Speaker B: Oh, that's an interesting.
33:04
>> Speaker C: I'm just gonna chuck him
33:05
outside in case, I don't know,
33:09
we missed something.
33:10
>> Speaker B: You guys are gonna, like,
33:11
reconnect him up like this
33:13
keeps going back to the robot
33:14
dude from the Android dude
33:16
from, Alien. You guys are just
33:17
going to go, like, re.
33:18
>> Speaker E: Hook up his brain and then
33:19
give him some milk.
33:20
>> Speaker B: Some milk. Got to. Got to fill
33:22
up his milk.
33:22
>> Speaker C: Yeah, Maki's just going to
33:24
drag this body to the edge.
33:26
Anybody want to give me a
33:27
hand?
33:28
>> Speaker B: Yeah, Keto will just throw him
33:29
out
33:29
>> Speaker D: the window with him. Yeah,
33:30
grab his what with his body.
33:32
>> Speaker B: What if it's not milk? What if
33:34
it's another white fluid? And
33:35
that's why.
33:36
>> Speaker E: No, that's why they were
33:37
collecting the
33:38
>> Speaker B: horses for it in that alleyway
33:42
anyways.
33:43
>> Speaker D: What it.
33:44
>> Speaker E: All robots run on semen?
33:47
>> Speaker D: Wow.
33:47
>> Speaker C: I thought you were gonna say
33:48
it wasn't actually semen. It
33:50
was.
33:50
>> Speaker D: It was milk.
33:52
>> Speaker B: No, wow. We were going in two
33:53
different directions at the
33:54
same.
33:54
>> Speaker C: It was just there. It was the.
33:56
Whatever. Droid fluid.
33:58
>> Speaker B: No better word.
33:59
>> Speaker C: All right, Nanobite. Nanobots
34:02
or something.
34:03
>> Speaker B: Yes. You quickly stuff, the
34:06
remainder, the upper half, I
34:07
would say a Professor Augustus
34:10
Steelborn, into Roerich's bag.
34:13
>> Speaker C: of. I was. I was.
34:14
>> Speaker D: No, they're chucking out the
34:15
window.
34:15
>> Speaker B: Oh, he was going to throw him
34:16
out.
34:16
>> Speaker D: Oh, okay.
34:17
>> Speaker B: Sounds good. Yeah. He falls to
34:19
the ground. I would say the
34:21
impact removes the other arm.
34:25
>> Speaker D: So now he has.
34:25
>> Speaker F: No.
34:26
>> Speaker B: He's literally just a body and
34:27
a head. and a shattered head
34:29
at that, to some extent,
34:30
anyway. and then you hear over
34:33
the speakers, please evacuate.
34:36
You have 30 seconds before
34:39
this facility self destructs.
34:43
>> Speaker D: He's long gone. And Rory, he
34:48
walks up to the middle of the
34:50
room, and he just, like, power
34:52
poses and goes. And like
34:57
lightning, it's just like
34:59
sprinkles. It's like little.
35:00
It's like he imagined. He
35:03
imagined it was gonna be,
35:05
like, little lightning bolts
35:06
and stuff, because that's how
35:07
all of his spells, like,
35:10
incarnate themselves. But no,
35:12
it's just like, really just
35:14
pixie dust just comes flying
35:16
out and it hits all of you,
35:17
and he goes, oh, I swear I
35:20
didn't go to the glitter
35:21
factory. Come on.
35:24
>> Speaker B: All right, you jump out the
35:25
window, and as you fall to the
35:27
ground, you feel yourself slow
35:29
to a nice, gentle stop. And as
35:32
the rest of you fall close
35:33
behind, the same thing
35:34
happens. You leap out the
35:35
window, and it almost looks
35:37
intimidating as the ground
35:38
starts to fly towards you, and
35:39
then it starts to slow until
35:42
you gently touch the ground
35:44
with the tips of your toes,
35:46
and your feet flatten upon the
35:48
earth beneath.
35:49
>> Speaker D: How far is the door from here?
35:50
>> Speaker B: It'd be, like, around the
35:52
whole facility.
35:53
>> Speaker D: Is there any windows or
35:54
anything?
35:54
>> Speaker B: You just jumped out the
35:55
window?
35:55
>> Speaker D: No.
35:56
>> Speaker B: Is there anything into the
35:57
window to go back?
35:59
>> Speaker D: Ground 4 was worried we'll get
36:00
blown.
36:01
>> Speaker B: There's a semi. It's. It's
36:03
probably, like, 10ft up.
36:04
>> Speaker E: There's a semi.
36:05
>> Speaker B: There's a semi.
36:06
>> Speaker D: It's falling right on top of
36:08
us. It just comes driving
36:10
through, like, what are you
36:12
doing?
36:12
>> Speaker E: I have got a trucker hat on.
36:14
>> Speaker D: It's this building made up of.
36:16
>> Speaker B: It's steel.
36:17
>> Speaker E: Who would have thought?
36:18
>> Speaker D: We should snow right away.
36:20
Kito's gonna grab the dude's
36:21
torso and run.
36:23
>> Speaker B: Okay, sounds good. You're all
36:24
sprinting away from the
36:25
facility, and from inside, you
36:27
can hear it counting down. 5,
36:29
4, 3, 2.
36:31
>> Speaker D: Is there any blinking?
36:33
>> Speaker C: One.
36:33
>> Speaker B: yeah, he's still blinking.
36:34
>> Speaker E: Oh, dear.
36:35
>> Speaker B: But then you watch Zero. And
36:39
you all kind of pause for a
36:40
moment just to be like, what's
36:42
gonna happen? You turn around,
36:43
you look at the building. It's
36:45
just standing there. And then
36:47
all of a sudden, ever so
36:49
slowly, you see a black orb
36:53
essence that starts to extend
36:55
out from the walls. And all of
36:58
a sudden, it collapses in on
36:59
itself. And you guys get hit
37:05
with this sort of burst from
37:07
this sound wave, and it knocks
37:09
you back. If you have
37:10
feathers, it pushes them back.
37:11
And then in front of you is
37:13
just a crater where the
37:15
building once stood.
37:17
>> Speaker E: It's a good thing you got the
37:18
>> Speaker D: gold for someone who doesn't
37:20
know what just happened.
37:21
>> Speaker B: What spell was that? just,
37:24
like, metagaming. Sky made
37:26
things up.
37:26
>> Speaker D: Okay.
37:26
>> Speaker B: Spell.
37:27
>> Speaker D: I thought it was like a.
37:28
>> Speaker E: It's called the DM makes the
37:31
rules spell.
37:32
>> Speaker D: Okay, cool.
37:34
>> Speaker B: you could call it a implosion.
37:37
>> Speaker D: Well, good thing you saved his
37:39
desk. Yeah.
37:41
>> Speaker B: Sitting there on the outskirts
37:42
of where that giant black
37:43
bubble just happened, there's
37:45
just his desk flopped over.
37:48
the legs are all broken off of
37:49
it.
37:50
>> Speaker C: That's genuine Lindenwood.
37:52
>> Speaker D: Oh, how'd you know that?
37:53
>> Speaker C: Yeah, you can tell it's
37:54
Lindenwood by the way it is.
37:56
>> Speaker D: By the way it is.
37:59
>> Speaker B: with that being said, you do
38:01
see, on the other side of this
38:03
crater, you do see your
38:05
friends from, the rocks, and
38:07
they are all stooped, down.
38:10
Gathered around something.
38:13
>> Speaker D: Another desk.
38:15
>> Speaker C: Looks like they're playing
38:16
bass again.
38:17
>> Speaker B: Let me rephrase here. All of
38:19
them except Grizzletooth are
38:21
currently stooped down,
38:23
gathered around something.
38:25
>> Speaker C: How far away is that? Like,
38:26
pretty close. Like, we can see
38:28
pretty well.
38:28
>> Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:29
>> Speaker D: So, like, are we cutting ties
38:32
with them? Like, what's next
38:35
on our docket? Guys?
38:36
>> Speaker C: Like, I don't know, they
38:38
might. They might have some
38:39
useful, connections
38:41
>> Speaker D: for us to do what?
38:42
>> Speaker B: I don't think we've reached
38:43
the tip
38:44
>> Speaker D: of the, the tip of this
38:45
iceberg yet.
38:46
>> Speaker C: You know, steal from the.
38:47
Steal from the rich and give
38:48
to us.
38:50
>> Speaker D: Okay, so who's the rich?
38:52
>> Speaker C: I don't know. They probably
38:53
know. I'm saying they might
38:56
know more people who got
38:57
money.
38:59
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
38:59
>> Speaker D: oh, okay. Do you think they're
39:02
in the best mood to offer us
39:04
more money right now, though?
39:07
>> Speaker B: Wow.
39:07
>> Speaker D: Looks like one of them's dead.
39:10
>> Speaker C: Ooh. These are sensitive
39:13
matters. Maybe we should give
39:15
our condolences and then give
39:17
them time to mourn.
39:19
>> Speaker D: Dennis, why does your sign say
39:21
I'm sawy with two W's?
39:24
>> Speaker C: Well, at least this guy didn't
39:26
blow up. had me a little
39:28
worried. That thing looks kind
39:30
of heavy, Kido.
39:31
>> Speaker D: Is the red dot still going?
39:33
>> Speaker B: No, it is ceased.
39:35
>> Speaker D: Hey, dez, you're a freak who.
39:42
I'm gonna get you back for it
39:43
every time. You're a freak who
39:45
likes robots, right?
39:48
>> Speaker E: DEZ kind of cocks his head
39:52
sideways and shrugs, like, I
39:55
guess.
39:55
>> Speaker D: So look at this robot. Can you
39:58
tell us anything about it?
40:00
>> Speaker E: DEZ looks at the robot. he
40:06
writes on his whiteboard. He
40:08
shows you and says, he's a
40:09
filthy clanker.
40:11
>> Speaker C: That's it.
40:12
>> Speaker D: Do you know a lot about
40:14
clankers? What can. Ah.
40:16
>> Speaker B: I.
40:16
>> Speaker D: What can.
40:16
>> Speaker E: Favorite. I only know favorite
40:18
enemy only really allows me to
40:20
track them. That's it.
40:23
>> Speaker D: Also, you don't know anything
40:24
about them, so you point at
40:26
them and say, I found them.
40:27
that's pretty good.
40:28
>> Speaker E: I can. I know the language you
40:30
speak. What language do
40:32
constructs speak? I know that,
40:34
usually whatever they've
40:35
>> Speaker B: been programmed to speak.
40:37
>> Speaker D: Yeah, 3 PO can speak, though.
40:39
>> Speaker B: That's true. He can speak. I
40:40
am an Alexa God. Which sucks,
40:43
because you can't talk.
40:44
>> Speaker E: I can't.
40:46
>> Speaker B: But you understand what
40:48
everyone around you.
40:49
>> Speaker E: I was given the knowledge of
40:51
all of these languages, but I
40:52
can't utilize it.
40:53
>> Speaker B: What a torture. Oh, my gosh.
40:55
Are you somewhat of a hacker?
40:59
>> Speaker E: I have advantage on tracking
41:01
them.
41:02
>> Speaker D: That's it. that's all. That's
41:03
all.
41:03
>> Speaker E: The deity wiki says, I, I can
41:05
track them. Good. I, I find
41:07
them.
41:07
>> Speaker D: Good.
41:08
>> Speaker B: Find them. Hm.
41:08
>> Speaker C: Good.
41:08
>> Speaker B: And here it is.
41:09
>> Speaker D: Here he is.
41:10
>> Speaker B: He's right here, laying on the
41:11
ground.
41:14
>> Speaker D: Okay, so DEZ apparently is
41:17
useless.
41:17
>> Speaker B: He's got. He.
41:19
>> Speaker E: DEZ starts scratching his
41:20
chin. He kicks it once. He's
41:22
just nods.
41:23
>> Speaker B: Let me ask you this.
41:24
>> Speaker E: Writes on his board.
41:25
>> Speaker D: Yep.
41:25
>> Speaker E: That's a clanker.
41:26
>> Speaker B: Let me actually, no, I'm not
41:27
going to ask you this. I'm
41:28
going to argue that given that
41:30
you're a ranger, given that
41:31
your whole concept is
41:32
tracking, finding, you have a
41:35
problem with these enemies.
41:36
I'm going to say that the stat
41:38
that makes the most sense to
41:39
be attributed to understanding
41:41
them would be survival. Okay.
41:44
so if you want to, you could
41:45
roll with survival. And based
41:47
on what you get, I could give
41:48
you some information about
41:50
what you might be able to
41:51
discern, from this.
41:52
>> Speaker D: Sure, we can do that.
41:53
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
41:55
>> Speaker C: Why is it leaking milk? And I,
41:58
I taste a little bit of the
42:00
spoil.
42:00
>> Speaker D: You beat me to it.
42:02
>> Speaker E: Ooh, that's a 24.
42:04
>> Speaker B: 24. Holy cow. Okay, so, let's
42:07
see, first of all, just real
42:09
quick, it tastes like
42:10
chemical, it kind of oily
42:13
patui. Kind of, kind of
42:15
lubricanty.
42:16
>> Speaker E: You get the refreshed buff,
42:17
you get
42:18
>> Speaker B: the disgusted unbuff, debuff,
42:21
debuff. but dez, you look over
42:27
this individual and you can
42:28
tell that he, he's not 100
42:31
construct. He is an Android.
42:33
He still has certain organs
42:36
amidst.
42:37
>> Speaker E: Still the half breed.
42:38
>> Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, Based on what
42:41
you've gathered so far that
42:42
people have told you about
42:43
this organization known as the
42:46
Legionnaires, which he claimed
42:47
to have connections with,
42:49
there are individuals who
42:51
choose, and I know you're
42:53
going to be bothered by that,
42:54
choose to remove parts of
42:56
their body and replace them
42:58
with mechanical replacements.
43:00
Right. So I could take my arm
43:02
off and replace it with a
43:03
mechanical arm. as has been
43:05
mentioned before, the idea
43:07
that they're going for is
43:08
what's called total
43:09
replacement, which is to say
43:10
that their entire physical
43:12
being is completely replaced,
43:14
maybe with the exception of
43:15
their mind. Or maybe their
43:16
mind is put into some sort of
43:18
almost like a computer esque
43:20
type thing, in order to store
43:22
their person and allow them to
43:24
live on for X. Right. Because
43:26
there's no matter what race
43:28
you are in Dungeons and
43:30
Dragons, there are limitations
43:31
to how long you live. Even
43:32
elves usually expire after
43:33
like what, 900 years or
43:35
something like that. so these
43:36
individuals believe that by
43:38
turning themselves into
43:40
androids, Essentially. Or
43:42
cyborgs. Cyborgs, they can,
43:46
they'd be able to replace
43:48
parts of their body when they
43:49
need to be repaired. they'd be
43:50
able to fix themselves up to a
43:52
point where they could
43:52
theoretically live forever.
43:54
And that seems to be what this
43:55
guy has done to himself. And
43:57
you're kind of surprised
43:58
because it looks like based on
44:00
the fact that his head like
44:01
opened up, that he actually
44:02
had some significant success
44:05
with his cranial area. So
44:07
yeah, those are all things
44:08
that you gather from that,
44:10
putting pieces together in
44:11
your mind based on kind of
44:13
what you've gathered so far
44:14
about your favorite enemy here
44:15
in Isla Numis. Gotcha.
44:17
>> Speaker E: so DEZ scratches his chin, he
44:19
kicks the guy, and he writes
44:21
on his board and he shows the
44:22
rest of you and it says, the
44:23
board says he is attempting
44:26
some kind of transcendency.
44:31
That is what I learned.
44:32
>> Speaker D: When he kicks him, does like
44:34
nuts and bolts come falling
44:36
out?
44:36
>> Speaker B: Just, a lot more milk spills
44:37
out.
44:38
>> Speaker E: I take my, my dagger and I
44:40
stab it in the remainder of
44:42
his chest and I pull down and
44:43
I just tear his chest cavity
44:45
open.
44:46
>> Speaker B: Gosh. Yeah. So inside, what do
44:48
we see? Yeah, inside it's,
44:49
it's again, it's a mix. So
44:51
some organs, some of his,
44:53
tubes and things like that,
44:55
even some of his veins have
44:56
been replaced with either like
44:58
plastic tubes or mechanical
45:01
clockwork organs, or the veins
45:03
are replaced with wires that
45:04
run to some of the mechanical
45:06
elements, across the body. The
45:07
other half is what you would
45:09
normally see when you slice
45:10
open a human, which is
45:12
physical flesh based, nerve
45:15
ending, nerve, lines and
45:17
organs. And I, I know you're.
45:18
I know. Fatty Lumpkin, the,
45:19
the medical professional in
45:21
our group is over here looking
45:22
at me like he doesn't know
45:23
what he's talking about.
45:24
>> Speaker D: Enjoyment.
45:25
>> Speaker B: But yes. organs and veins and
45:28
flesh.
45:29
>> Speaker E: Great. I just start, just,
45:31
hey, are you
45:32
>> Speaker D: going to eat those? So I
45:34
pointed them at the metallic,
45:36
like body parts, like the old
45:37
metallic organs.
45:38
>> Speaker E: I just start viciously tearing
45:40
everything out of the twist
45:42
cabinet.
45:42
>> Speaker D: I'm trying to catch the
45:44
metallic ones. And while he's
45:46
doing that, I've cut the
45:47
metallic ones and I pull and
45:49
I, I whistle. And Frog pops up
45:53
out of my, out of my bag of
45:55
holding and I hold out my
45:56
hands and he starts eating the
45:58
metallic organs. Ah, good. old
46:00
Frog. Hey Des, you are in a
46:03
bloodthirsty robot rampage.
46:05
You're not going to kill old
46:06
frog here, are you?
46:08
>> Speaker E: DEZ smiles and waggles his
46:10
finger at him. M. Like no.
46:13
>> Speaker D: Oh, see, Frog, he didn't even
46:14
call you a freak. See, he
46:16
likes you.
46:18
>> Speaker B: Frog places these organs
46:21
inside of his. He. He's kind
46:23
of got like, his. His head is
46:24
almost like a pot lid. And so
46:26
it just kind of opens up and
46:27
he just starts, like, draining
46:28
these things into a. And then
46:31
once he's captured a handful
46:33
of them, and he's sort of full
46:34
up, right? He kind of sucks
46:36
his. His hands back into his
46:38
body, and you can kind of hear
46:39
him just tinkering around
46:40
inside of himself.
46:41
>> Speaker D: And you guys notice he looks
46:44
slightly bigger, than the last
46:46
time you saw him.
46:47
>> Speaker E: Like a minute.
46:49
>> Speaker C: Waiting for the transformer
46:50
noises.
46:54
>> Speaker B: And today on today's news, I'm
46:57
going to.
46:58
>> Speaker D: Wow.
47:01
>> Speaker B: What did.
47:01
>> Speaker E: What did we decide that frog
47:03
stood for?
47:04
>> Speaker D: Flying robot of greatness.
47:06
>> Speaker E: Oh, that's right. I got flying
47:08
and robot in my head. And I
47:09
was like, there were two more
47:11
of greatness.
47:12
>> Speaker C: Is this why you took one level
47:14
of artificer?
47:15
>> Speaker D: This is why I asked why is
47:16
there no artificer in the
47:18
level of arcade? So, we go. We
47:20
say, I'm sorry, and then we. I
47:26
don't know what, we go back
47:27
and sleep for the night. And
47:30
then we start. Do we have any
47:31
leads?
47:32
>> Speaker E: I need a long rest.
47:33
Regardless.
47:34
>> Speaker D: That one guy and I look down
47:36
at the robot at our feet, who
47:39
Des has kind of kneeled in,
47:40
still ripping pieces.
47:42
>> Speaker B: I would argue at this point,
47:43
you have a head.
47:45
>> Speaker D: He was ranting about that one
47:49
group. Those religious. Those
47:52
religious. And I point at Des.
47:55
Religious, yeah. Those
47:59
religious. Yeah. And, I think
48:00
that's our Wingy. I think
48:02
there's something there, but
48:03
that might not be money.
48:05
>> Speaker E: Des rubs his fingers together
48:07
like that's what I need.
48:09
>> Speaker D: No margin, no mission. There's
48:10
got to be money.
48:11
>> Speaker E: You think I'm gonna do the
48:13
good for this world, this
48:14
pocket dimension, just
48:16
because. No, there's got to be
48:17
a monetary value to what I do.
48:19
>> Speaker D: Guys. How are we going to get
48:21
a million gold?
48:22
>> Speaker C: Maybe I could run for mayor
48:24
and then invest, in the
48:26
financial markets and use
48:28
insider trading.
48:30
>> Speaker D: This sounds a pretty long
48:31
term.
48:31
>> Speaker B: I would. I would, as the DM
48:33
remind you that there is a
48:35
presidential.
48:36
>> Speaker D: There's election going on
48:37
right now.
48:38
>> Speaker B: Presidential or, sorry,
48:40
mayoral.
48:41
>> Speaker D: It was a mayor, wasn't it?
48:42
>> Speaker B: No, it was like king.
48:44
>> Speaker D: Oh, they vote for the king.
48:46
>> Speaker B: Well, you asked this question
48:48
before. I don't remember if
48:49
somebody told you or if it was
48:51
just me, but the idea is that
48:53
in little sauce, at the very
48:54
least would know this,
48:55
obviously, because he's from
48:56
here.
48:56
>> Speaker D: Yeah. Obvious.
48:57
>> Speaker B: The king.
48:58
>> Speaker D: No, I wanted Quinn to tell us.
48:59
>> Speaker B: Oh, sorry. Yeah, go ahead.
49:00
>> Speaker D: Yeah. So the king is a guy. Is
49:03
kind of, We're like kind of,
49:04
you know, dictatorship kind
49:06
of.
49:06
>> Speaker B: Nah. Kind of republic.
49:07
>> Speaker D: we vote. We do. We did. It's a
49:10
position. It's a title. It's a
49:12
thing.
49:13
>> Speaker B: He hasn't said anything untrue
49:15
yet.
49:16
>> Speaker C: This is the worst Spree style
49:18
ever.
49:21
>> Speaker D: Politics. Do you actually
49:23
know, or were you too deep in
49:25
the sauce business?
49:27
>> Speaker E: Lost in the scout.
49:28
>> Speaker B: Lost in the sauce.
49:29
>> Speaker D: It's a thing. It's a title.
49:31
It's a. Yeah, it's got me.
49:33
It's a thing. They make
49:35
decisions.
49:35
>> Speaker B: This is a great T shirt. Just
49:37
Lil.
49:37
>> Speaker E: Sauce.
49:38
>> Speaker B: It's a thing. It's a title.
49:41
>> Speaker D: I think this is the trauma
49:42
getting him. Is that the first
49:44
time you've been knocked out
49:45
in battle? No. Oh, no, no, no.
49:49
Just, in a while.
49:50
>> Speaker C: He used to be in an abusive
49:52
relationship with the griddle.
49:55
>> Speaker D: I asked for him to tell us.
49:56
>> Speaker B: Maki, do you want me to. Do
49:59
you want to know about the
50:00
present thing, or are we good
50:02
with little sauces
50:03
explanation?
50:03
>> Speaker D: Oh, I'm fine with little
50:04
sauces explanation. So, yeah,
50:06
there's an election coming up.
50:08
We could just have. You could
50:11
run for it, I guess. When.
50:12
When is the vote? I don't
50:14
remember.
50:15
>> Speaker E: I.
50:15
>> Speaker D: Then we got one of them
50:16
newspapers. We grabbed one at
50:18
one point.
50:19
>> Speaker B: Just out of curiosity, are you
50:21
guys, like, just talking as
50:22
you're walking back over to.
50:24
>> Speaker D: No, I wasn't walking. Oh. I
50:25
mean, Des is still.
50:26
>> Speaker B: Oh. At this point, it's really
50:28
just ahead.
50:28
>> Speaker E: I mean, if you're still ahead
50:30
from the. I just twist, twist
50:31
and pulled it
50:32
>> Speaker D: off of the torso.
50:34
>> Speaker B: Are you keeping the head?
50:35
>> Speaker D: Yeah.
50:35
>> Speaker E: Bring it to the. The Rock
50:37
Bottom Club guys as a gift.
50:39
>> Speaker D: Is that what we're doing?
50:40
Walking around the hole to go
50:41
see them? I just imagine we
50:44
were standing here talking.
50:45
>> Speaker C: Well, Maky once stood,
50:46
examined this desk.
50:48
>> Speaker D: Okay, sounds good.
50:50
>> Speaker B: You, you search through the
50:51
desk. This broken desk, which
50:52
is really easy to search
50:53
through because it's in
50:54
pieces. Any. Any locks on this
50:56
desk are busted open. you find
50:59
a handful of letters of
51:00
correspondence with a variety
51:02
of the larger dealers that
51:03
were being used for, euphoria
51:05
distribution.
51:06
>> Speaker C: Okay.
51:07
>> Speaker B: and then, of course, there's
51:08
probably some papers in there
51:09
kind of outlining how much
51:11
product they were making and
51:13
things along those lines.
51:14
>> Speaker C: Do I see any names?
51:16
>> Speaker B: You see a lot of names, and
51:20
you also see next to those
51:22
names, another name. And at
51:27
the top of this sort of Excel
51:28
spreadsheet, they have2. The
51:30
two columns are listed names
51:33
and aliases. Oh, so you have
51:38
who they're being distributed
51:39
to by street name and what
51:42
they. Who they actually are.
51:44
>> Speaker C: Okay, I'm gonna save that info
51:46
for later.
51:47
>> Speaker B: There you go. There you go.
51:48
you also do notice that
51:49
there's a column next to it,
51:51
and it's. There's a handful of
51:53
them that have X's next to
51:55
them. What that means.
51:57
actually, I'll tell you what
51:58
that means, because at the top
51:59
of that. That column, it says
52:01
active. But I guess you're not
52:03
sure if. If X means that they
52:05
are active or they're no
52:06
longer active. That's, you
52:07
know.
52:08
>> Speaker C: Okay, do with the, the
52:10
thoughts of the election on my
52:12
mind. Do I see any names of
52:13
any officials who are running
52:15
for election on there?
52:17
>> Speaker B: That's a great, great
52:18
question, actually.
52:19
>> Speaker C: Such as Lupin Grimble, Lord
52:22
Blundergruff, Golden Shield.
52:25
>> Speaker B: I would say at the top of the
52:28
list.
52:28
>> Speaker C: Not Noodle Wiggle.
52:29
>> Speaker B: Not Noodle.
52:30
>> Speaker D: No.
52:30
>> Speaker B: Anyone but Noodle Wiggle.
52:32
Noodle Wiggle is supposed to
52:33
be legit. Is the people's
52:34
candidate. At the top of the
52:37
sheet, there's probably, like,
52:39
a column that says, like, how
52:40
much, material was being
52:42
handed out to each particular
52:43
person. Right. So obviously
52:45
top. And it's organized by
52:46
that number. So top of the
52:48
sheet is going to be the
52:49
people that were getting the
52:49
most product. One of them
52:51
that's listed does say
52:54
Grimble. The second one that
52:56
has the second most. Actually,
52:59
technically, this one would be
53:00
the most. Grimble's the second
53:01
most. but at the very top of
53:03
that list, you see the name
53:06
Alexandria Duskwalker.
53:10
>> Speaker D: Dusk Walker. Sounds like my ex
53:12
wife.
53:12
>> Speaker C: Looks like I got a list here
53:14
of the biggest players in this
53:15
drug game in their aliases and
53:19
the real names. Like this.
53:20
This guy's running for
53:22
president, and he's receiving
53:25
tons of this stuff.
53:26
>> Speaker D: Oh, what if we exposed him or
53:28
exploited him for money?
53:30
Blackmail. that's my. That's
53:33
my alley.
53:34
>> Speaker E: Des just holds his head in his
53:36
hands, stares off into space.
53:38
>> Speaker B: He's good at the guy's heads.
53:39
Yeah. Yeah.
53:40
>> Speaker D: Des, there seems to be a lot
53:42
of trauma. Revolving robots.
53:48
>> Speaker E: Oh, do you need to talk about
53:49
it? DEZ writes on his
53:52
whiteboard. I. I don't know
53:53
what you mean.
53:54
>> Speaker D: Okay, we'll just bottle that
53:56
up for a future episode.
53:58
>> Speaker B: It'll come up.
53:59
>> Speaker C: I'm sure it'll come up.
54:00
>> Speaker D: I'm sure we'll just put a cork
54:01
in. I'm sure that will lash
54:04
out in any way in the future
54:06
while we're.
54:07
>> Speaker C: Sometimes take it from a
54:09
drinker, you don't want to
54:11
force the cork. Or, it might
54:13
give you a black eye.
54:14
>> Speaker D: I don't know. Sometimes.
54:17
Sometimes it's good to just
54:19
talk about the stuff that
54:20
makes you mad.
54:22
>> Speaker E: DEZ writes on his whiteboard.
54:23
Ain't nothing to talk about.
54:24
>> Speaker D: Well, I hate wizards because
54:26
they killed all my friends
54:29
with the exact spell that just
54:31
hit all of you guys. So I
54:33
really hated that guy.
54:35
>> Speaker E: Deznods and understanding
54:38
signaling to Roark, like,
54:40
>> Speaker C: miming, like, a champagne
54:43
bottle or something. And like
54:45
a gentle tapping motion on the
54:47
side of it. You know, if you
54:49
like, trying to,
54:50
>> Speaker B: like, do a toast.
54:51
>> Speaker C: No, like trying to get the
54:53
cork to come out or something.
54:54
>> Speaker D: Oh, I don't know if that's
54:56
even,
54:56
>> Speaker B: like, ding, ding, ding, ding.
54:57
>> Speaker D: Okay. Are you trying to motion
54:59
to gently nudge this?
55:01
>> Speaker C: So force it.
55:04
>> Speaker D: But, you know, I shared.
55:06
>> Speaker B: There's a bit of an
55:07
implication you should.
55:10
>> Speaker D: You don't have to. But if I
55:13
need to go with more, I guess
55:14
so. His name was Pork. He was
55:19
my best friend.
55:20
>> Speaker E: John Pork.
55:21
>> Speaker D: The wizard claimed him. No, it
55:23
was just Pork. the wizard
55:25
claimed him. And this chick. I
55:27
don't remember her name. She
55:28
was an elf. I didn't care
55:30
about her. And it almost
55:32
killed my other friend, too.
55:33
So I barely got to him before
55:36
he died. But that's why I hate
55:37
wizards with a passion. Then I
55:41
noticed you hate robots with
55:44
that same passion. Did they
55:47
kill someone you love?
55:48
>> Speaker E: DEZ writes on his whiteboard,
55:50
and it says, water and
55:52
machines don't mix well. And
55:56
then he shrugs, he takes the
55:59
head, he walks over to the
56:01
rock bottom. Guys.
56:02
>> Speaker B: Okay, do you guys follow?
56:03
>> Speaker D: I don't know. I, lean over to
56:05
Kyo. I go. I don't know what
56:07
water and machines have to do
56:08
with anything.
56:09
>> Speaker E: That's right. They have, like,
56:10
no idea who Dez is outside of
56:12
the feathers.
56:14
>> Speaker B: True.
56:14
>> Speaker D: Rorick 100% has forgotten who
56:17
Des was in his past. Like, I
56:20
don't think Rorick remembers
56:21
he was a trident in the
56:22
slightest.
56:23
>> Speaker E: We're going to go back and
56:24
it's just going to be who this
56:26
guy.
56:26
>> Speaker D: You weren't a bird this whole
56:28
time and he just full and
56:29
talks to me. Yeah.
56:30
>> Speaker B: And then you actually have a
56:32
voice. That'd be.
56:33
>> Speaker E: He'll have a voice. I have an
56:34
accent picked out. It's just.
56:36
>> Speaker D: All right, Keto, your turn.
56:39
>> Speaker B: you guys all make your way
56:41
over or you follow dez, over
56:43
to the Gang from the Rock of
56:45
Autumn. And it's a pretty sad
56:48
sight that you find
56:50
Grizzletooth, ah, is laying
56:51
there motionless, huddling
56:53
over him. You see, Gravestone
56:55
has his, his bone hand over
56:58
Grizzle Tooth. you can see
57:00
that he's trying as hard as he
57:02
can to push that sort of
57:04
violet aura of magic into
57:06
Grizzle Tooth. And you see
57:09
Rusty, who's kind of over by
57:12
Grizzle, Tooth's head. He's
57:13
kind of like holding his
57:14
shoulders up a little bit and
57:15
he's like, is any. You see. Do
57:18
you think there's any hope?
57:20
Gravestone? And Gravestone's
57:22
like, I. I don't think. I
57:25
don't think I've got this kind
57:27
of magic. I'm. I'm sorry. I.
57:30
It's really sucks to be a
57:32
living skeleton someone
57:33
brought to life, but not have
57:35
the actual power to bring a
57:37
back a friend. you see Sprout,
57:40
who's kind of standing maybe
57:42
10ft away and his, his hands
57:45
are clenched tightly and he's
57:49
got tears streaming down his
57:50
face, but you can see that
57:51
he's trying as hard as he can
57:53
to fight from crying in this
57:56
situation.
57:57
>> Speaker D: Roark's just staring at dez.
58:00
>> Speaker E: DEZ just like, sets the guy's
58:03
head down and just starts to
58:06
walk away. I go with dez. I'm
58:09
limping. I'm really hurt. I
58:11
need a long rest.
58:11
>> Speaker D: Sure. How bad is he hurt,
58:13
Gravestone?
58:14
>> Speaker B: he pulls back his hand. He
58:16
says, I don't think he's
58:19
coming back. Oh, I don't have
58:23
that kind of magic. I have a
58:25
little bit of healing magic,
58:26
but I don't have that kind of
58:28
restoration magic. I'm. I'm so
58:30
sorry, Rusty. There's nothing
58:34
I can do. And Rusty kind of
58:39
lowers Grizzle Tooth's head
58:40
down a little bit and he just
58:41
kind of leans forward and you
58:43
can just see tears streaming
58:45
down his face, dripping onto
58:48
Grizzle Tooth's head.
58:50
>> Speaker C: Seems this world lost another
58:53
one of the good ones.
58:56
>> Speaker B: you hear Rusty whisper out,
58:59
yeah, that's right, they did.
59:02
He's been me friend for 13
59:04
years and he's kept me from,
59:09
he's kept me from the drink
59:10
that whole time. I don't know.
59:14
I'm gonna, I don't know I'm
59:16
gonna keep myself sober after
59:17
this one, but I know that's
59:20
what Grizzletooth would have
59:21
wanted.
59:21
>> Speaker C: As someone who's not been a
59:24
fan of sobriety most of his
59:26
life, I know how important it
59:29
is to have somebody, somebody
59:32
to keep you from the brink.
59:36
you there, fella. And he
59:37
points at Sprout. You need to
59:40
help out your friend here.
59:42
>> Speaker B: Cause that.
59:43
>> Speaker C: Well, you know why?
59:46
>> Speaker B: And Sprout looks at you and he
59:50
kind of. He kind of glares his
59:51
eyes a little bit, and in one
59:55
of his hands, he's holding
59:56
what looks like maybe a dagger
59:57
or something that he had
59:58
picked up while he was in
59:58
there. And he just kind of
59:59
throws it down on the ground
1:00:00
and he just starts sprinting
1:00:01
off into the distance or into
1:00:04
the dark. And Gravestone
1:00:07
watches as he kind of runs
1:00:08
off. And he says, I. I'm
1:00:12
running out of ideas for that
1:00:13
kid. He's really struggled to
1:00:17
find his place in this world.
1:00:20
And ever since his mom died.
1:00:22
And I'm not sure what to do
1:00:26
with him dealing drugs. I. I
1:00:29
didn't think he'd stoop that
1:00:31
low. And I know he wants to be
1:00:33
a member of the Rocks, but, I
1:00:35
mean. And he looks down at
1:00:37
Grizzle Tooth and he says,
1:00:39
there's a reason why I haven't
1:00:40
let him join. It gets pretty
1:00:42
dangerous in some of the
1:00:43
things that we do. And I can't
1:00:46
put him through that. I
1:00:48
apologize. I know this is a
1:00:50
bit of a dreary situation, but
1:00:53
I do want you all to know how
1:00:55
much I appreciate you for
1:00:57
helping us put an end to this
1:00:59
Euphoria situation.
1:01:01
>> Speaker D: I'm just gonna pay my respects
1:01:03
and I'm m gonna head back to
1:01:05
the house too, because I'm
1:01:05
like, I want that story.
1:01:07
>> Speaker B: No, that's fair. That's fair.
1:01:08
That's okay. I think they
1:01:09
recognize that a lot of injury
1:01:11
has happened tonight, and
1:01:13
obviously I can't really make
1:01:16
you. It's. It's a. We run
1:01:18
things at the Rocks
1:01:19
organization as demo
1:01:21
democracy. So I. I don't have
1:01:23
the power to make you guys
1:01:24
rocks, but what you did here
1:01:26
tonight, we truly appreciate.
1:01:30
Consider yourselves welcome at
1:01:32
the Rocks Club. Anytime,
1:01:34
anything you need, you feel
1:01:36
free to head on over there.
1:01:38
I'd be more than happy to, to
1:01:40
find a way to help as best I
1:01:41
can.
1:01:42
>> Speaker D: Well, thank you.
1:01:43
>> Speaker B: It's.
1:01:44
>> Speaker C: Rest assured that we, we, ah,
1:01:46
took care of that. The boss,
1:01:48
the head honcho of that
1:01:49
facility.
1:01:50
>> Speaker B: And this is the part where he
1:01:51
looks over and he sees ahead
1:01:52
and he goes. Professor
1:01:54
Augustus Steelbourne. I should
1:01:57
have known. Professor, yes. He
1:01:59
teach, taught over at the
1:02:02
School of Wizardry and Magic
1:02:05
over in the Asgardia district.
1:02:08
He's a fairly well known
1:02:11
professor. More because of his
1:02:13
failed inheritance, you could
1:02:16
say. His parents were the
1:02:18
owners of Steelborn Industry,
1:02:19
this factory that we just
1:02:21
fought in, amongst other
1:02:23
assets, all of which no longer
1:02:26
belonged to his family. His
1:02:28
parents were killed in an
1:02:29
alleyway, leaving him the sole
1:02:31
heir. And as a child, he
1:02:34
didn't have much power when
1:02:35
the heads of the company sort
1:02:37
of wiggled him out, leaving
1:02:39
him to sort of fend on his own
1:02:42
without his family's wealth
1:02:44
and fortune and assets and,
1:02:47
well, making himself a
1:02:51
professor would have been a
1:02:52
pretty fine gig to get into.
1:02:55
But, it's been said that he
1:02:57
had fallen in with a bit of a
1:02:58
dark crowd. And that would in
1:03:01
fact seem to be the case,
1:03:03
given this. But he was very
1:03:06
powerful individual.
1:03:08
>> Speaker D: I'm.
1:03:08
>> Speaker B: I'm quite impressed that you
1:03:09
guys were able to stop him
1:03:12
there.
1:03:13
>> Speaker C: Well, thanks. think this is
1:03:15
just the tip of the iceberg,
1:03:17
though. Oh, yeah. I found some
1:03:20
documents of some big names
1:03:23
involved in all this. Once
1:03:25
you've had time to grieve, we
1:03:27
may need your help.
1:03:29
>> Speaker B: Yes, of course. Again, feel
1:03:31
free to stop by the Rock
1:03:33
Bottoms Club anytime. I'm.
1:03:35
Just ask for me. I will, I
1:03:37
will make time. I. I will make
1:03:38
sure we can meet in my office.
1:03:40
Whatever you need and whatever
1:03:42
we can offer. I mean, we are
1:03:44
down a man. This isn't the end
1:03:46
of the rocks for sure. Getting
1:03:49
into the club's going to be a
1:03:50
lot easier now. That's true,
1:03:52
that's true. I'm afraid that
1:03:53
we have a bit of a, ceremony
1:03:57
tonight that we will need to
1:04:00
bury our friend as a part of.
1:04:03
if you'll excuse us, to have
1:04:05
>> Speaker C: like a cool handshake when
1:04:08
they depart from one another.
1:04:10
Like, like rock, paper,
1:04:12
scissors. And you always shoot
1:04:13
rock.
1:04:13
>> Speaker D: Okay.
1:04:14
>> Speaker B: Always.
1:04:14
>> Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:04:15
>> Speaker B: I like. That's actually really
1:04:16
good.
1:04:17
>> Speaker D: I like that a lot.
1:04:18
>> Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, 100%. That's
1:04:19
pretty cool. That's a really
1:04:21
cool idea. yeah, they. They
1:04:22
give you one of those. So they
1:04:24
just rock, paper, scissors,
1:04:25
shoot, but they both shoot
1:04:26
rock and then they tap their
1:04:28
chest twice and then they
1:04:31
pick, up grizzle tooth and
1:04:33
they head off and. Ah. With
1:04:34
that, I think we'll close out
1:04:36
this episode of Criminals of
1:04:37
Isla Numis.
1:04:45
