- 0:10Hello, Erie Traveler.
- 0:12I'm not sure what strange magic must have brought you here, but
- 0:16you have stepped into a realm of my creation.
- 0:19A sprawling city filled with danger and glory, and most importantly,
- 0:24lots of gold.
- 0:25I call it, Ilanumis.
- 0:28Who am I, you might ask?
- 0:30The name is Jarjim, and I'm the patron deity of gambling.
- 0:34Long story short, this group of idiots, or as you may call them,
- 0:39heroes, made a bet with me that they had when it took to make a
- 0:43mass trove of gold, but left some of the key details blank.
- 0:48So I filled them in myself.
- 0:50I sent them to this pocket dimension, into the city I had created
- 0:54with brand new bodies they have to attune to.
- 0:58Can these fools pass my test, or will they be trapped here forever?
- 1:03So experience my world of trials and tribulations, and join alongside
- 1:08this posse of pitiful people, or as I like to call them,
- 1:12the criminals of Ilanumis.
- 1:16Alright, welcome back everybody to another episode of The Criminals of Ilanumis.
- 1:20We're back.
- 1:21Once again, I'm Skyler.
- 1:23I am the host and game master.
- 1:26And joining me today are the usual players who I'll quickly go through and introduce.
- 1:31We've got Dave, who's playing Maki, the shadow sorcerer, Kanku.
- 1:36We've got Fatty Lumpkins, who's playing Keto, the warrior like cobalt.
- 1:43We've got Lil Saus over in the back.
- 1:46Right, that's right we do.
- 1:48Who's playing another Kanku, who is a soft salesman, or at least he was,
- 1:53and also was a member of blank space before he first quit,
- 1:57and then it was destroyed.
- 1:59Julia is dead.
- 2:00We'll move past that though, because we're all sick of hearing about it.
- 2:04Next up we got Jackson, who's playing Dez.
- 2:07He's a ranger.
- 2:08He's also a Kanku.
- 2:10So we've got a lot of Kankus at the table, and the only non-Kanku person we've got left
- 2:15is last but not least Cameron, who's playing Rorik, who is a goblin.
- 2:23And he's kind of a mix of multiple trades at this point,
- 2:27thanks to the level ups you guys did this last time.
- 2:30He's got a little bit of Rogue, a little bit of Bard, and a little bit of Fighter.
- 2:35And he's still, he's a very confusing, he's an enigma of multi-classing.
- 2:41He's a mind.
- 2:42This is enigma.
- 2:43I'm an enigma.
- 2:44Me, a D.
- 2:45Actually, no, what?
- 2:46I know I'm going to wait.
- 2:47Artificer.
- 2:48Oh, okay.
- 2:49That's what you're going to call it.
- 2:51No, he's an Artificer now.
- 2:53That's his other level.
- 2:55Oh, that was the other plus one level that you took.
- 2:58So he's got three in Rogue, three in Bard, one in Fighter, one in Artificer.
- 3:02Interesting.
- 3:03All right.
- 3:04Well, hey, for those of you that were sitting, waiting on the edge of your seat ever since
- 3:07last episode came out, wondering what Rorik picked as that plus one unknown little
- 3:12level, that's what he picked is Artificer.
- 3:15So that should be interesting, especially with how much you guys have discussed the
- 3:19Legionnaires.
- 3:20But before I get too deep into that, we'll jump into today's episode of criminals of
- 3:25Isla Numa.
- 3:26All right.
- 3:30So where last we left off, you guys had reunited with Lil Sauce.
- 3:37Lil Sauce, you had reunited with them.
- 3:39It's a beautiful thing.
- 3:40It's a very beautiful thing.
- 3:41It is very beautiful.
- 3:43Lil Sauce had told you guys all about his adventure and his quest to take out an individual or
- 3:48to find or you're not really 100% sure, an individual named Radicus, who is currently
- 3:54sending out local scoundrels to go dig up bones, especially magical bones from local
- 4:01graveyards, bring them to him in exchange for money, maybe sometimes even the drug known
- 4:06as euphoria.
- 4:07But what's important is that he seems to have some kind of connection potentially to the
- 4:13organization known as the Legionnaires, who Lil Sauce knows were behind the destruction
- 4:19of blank space and the killing of Julia, which again, will get passed because we're sick of
- 4:23hearing about it.
- 4:24She was bruised.
- 4:25Okay.
- 4:26And that's why we're, yeah.
- 4:27Anyway, I'd like to take the rock to start this off with.
- 4:30Okay.
- 4:31Not Dwayne Johnson, but yeah.
- 4:32Yeah.
- 4:33Yeah.
- 4:34Yeah.
- 4:35I'd like to shake it.
- 4:36What do you want?
- 4:37I just let you guys just left the arcade.
- 4:40I went back in.
- 4:41No, he doesn't.
- 4:42No, he doesn't.
- 4:43He can't just hide in my arcade forever.
- 4:46Um, so I get a question for you.
- 4:48Oh, okay.
- 4:49This isn't about the money, is it?
- 4:51You brought these guys here because you want us to stop the Legionnaires.
- 4:55Yes or no?
- 4:56No, no.
- 4:57All right.
- 4:59I was just miffed at these guys and I said, Hey, you know, if you're going to play games
- 5:03with me, I'll play a game with you.
- 5:05Well, I was kind of going to use that as motivation to get these guys to go with me.
- 5:09You just say yes.
- 5:10Oh, I don't really know much about these Legionnaires.
- 5:12Do tell.
- 5:13This isn't helping my cause.
- 5:16Oh, well, I'm always intrigued.
- 5:18I'm excited to watch.
- 5:19Let's see.
- 5:20Go check out these Legionnaires.
- 5:21I'll be interested to see.
- 5:22Here's the thing.
- 5:23When I started this world, it was very primitive or very not primitive, basic.
- 5:27It was very basic.
- 5:28It was just a very straightforward city and they built a lot of it themselves.
- 5:32And it's interesting to see how they've grown and evolved and started groups and organs.
- 5:36I mean, the whole beasts thing.
- 5:37I never would have expected that.
- 5:40Really?
- 5:41Yes.
- 5:42I'm so intrigued.
- 5:44These, these are some creative bastards.
- 5:48Well, thanks for an offer.
- 5:53We'll talk to you tomorrow.
- 5:54Geez.
- 5:55All right.
- 5:56Fine.
- 5:57Well, you got to turn them up.
- 5:58I still need to collect the money, but I really think Richard should go after this first because
- 6:03like I said, it's going to be hard to get money.
- 6:05The Legionnaires are taking over the whole area.
- 6:07I don't expect to me.
- 6:09All right.
- 6:10Well, you have a direction to go in any other way.
- 6:12It is.
- 6:13It is.
- 6:14Well, I don't even think it's daylight yet.
- 6:16It's still like dark out.
- 6:17I mean, you guys just hit midnight so that you could do the.
- 6:20You know, we want to sleep then and wake up in the morning.
- 6:23Well, you, you also know that Radicus runs the night shift at the dock.
- 6:26You know, whenever he's tired, we can go do some reconnaissance.
- 6:28You just slept.
- 6:29They are.
- 6:30They, they're tired.
- 6:31I'm not tired.
- 6:32I just slept.
- 6:33I know.
- 6:34I mean, I guess that's up to you guys.
- 6:35But if, if you guys sleep and you sleep past.
- 6:37Yeah, we will.
- 6:38Well, of course we will.
- 6:39Well, we would.
- 6:40My thought was we go and inspect the day shift and show up as day shift employees.
- 6:46I just got hired and do some snooping around and then, you know, volunteer to work extra hours
- 6:53on the night shift and see what we can figure out.
- 6:55And we're going to make some good money from getting employed for the day.
- 6:59Some good money.
- 7:00Well, you know, maybe that, you know, dock workers, famously well off.
- 7:05We're going to make some good dock working money.
- 7:08It's going to be pretty minimum wage.
- 7:11You would know that.
- 7:12Yeah.
- 7:13As a little sauce.
- 7:14Yeah.
- 7:15Well, we couple, couple of silver.
- 7:17Okay.
- 7:18Is that what you guys want to do?
- 7:19You have a week and go or we can go right now.
- 7:21I think it would be good if we just went right now.
- 7:24You could short rest.
- 7:25You could spend an hour just kind of like, what does a short rest get you?
- 7:29Cause I did take one big swing from.
- 7:32We'll see.
- 7:33That's exactly what it would help you with is, is just getting your health back.
- 7:36You would be able to roll as many of your hit dice as you want to.
- 7:40So it's up to you guys.
- 7:42Did anyone else even take any damage during the fight?
- 7:45No.
- 7:46Just heat up.
- 7:47So here's what you should rest is good.
- 7:49Who's strong.
- 7:50Then you guys can heal me.
- 7:51Yeah.
- 7:52Honestly, short rest, he's the, if he's the only one that needs the rest as a fighter,
- 7:56short rest gets him everything back anyways.
- 7:59So go for it.
- 8:00We leave in one hour.
- 8:02So in total, there are up to eight dice that I could roll.
- 8:06I mean, I need them all.
- 8:07Correct.
- 8:08Okay.
- 8:09Okay.
- 8:10Plus six.
- 8:11Okay.
- 8:12Well, then I'll just be done.
- 8:13So you guys head down to the Atlanta, was it the Atlantic Heights districts docs?
- 8:17Yeah.
- 8:18They are over by the edge of sort of the border of this district that borders the ocean.
- 8:25And heading there.
- 8:27It's not hard for you guys to pick up.
- 8:29There's not a lot of activity that goes on at the docs at night at this, especially this
- 8:33time of night, technically morning at this point.
- 8:36So you guys are able to easily navigate, although you do see quite a few sketchy individuals
- 8:41amidst the shadows, amidst the corners, hiding behind buildings that peer at you.
- 8:48Questioningly.
- 8:49Nobody seems to try to make any moves at you, but you definitely feel the sense that people
- 8:54around here are not the friendliest people at this time.
- 8:58With that being said, you do make your way to what seems to be the dock house or office
- 9:05where you allegedly believe that Radicus is at.
- 9:09What's the plan?
- 9:10Uh, Des punches his open hand.
- 9:13I'm down.
- 9:14Now to be fair, and it's important to point out for little sauce specifically outside
- 9:20of like Radicus was basically your lead, right?
- 9:23That was all you were able to really garnish from the blank space headquarters.
- 9:26Aside from knowing that the legionnaires are involved somehow, all you know is that you
- 9:31were supposed to follow or find out about the grave robbers.
- 9:34That was going to be your first hint.
- 9:36But outside of that, you don't have a follow up lead.
- 9:38So just putting that out there from, from a detective standpoint as, as you were, right?
- 9:43With blank space, usually going in and just killing the dude.
- 9:48Well, no, I'm not saying killing.
- 9:49Oh, rough.
- 9:50I don't know.
- 9:51Everybody else was like punching.
- 9:52Well, punching that stabbing.
- 9:54Oh, it was.
- 9:55Dead stabs.
- 9:56No.
- 9:57Just pulls the bloodied.
- 9:59That's what I'm doing.
- 10:01No, I just got to go rough this guy up.
- 10:04All right.
- 10:05So you guys step inside.
- 10:07It's a very quaint.
- 10:09Everything smells very salty.
- 10:11Sea water, fishy kind of smell.
- 10:13Des might honestly enjoy it as it might be a bit familiar to home.
- 10:18I don't know.
- 10:19Maybe whatever the case.
- 10:21There's a woman at a front desk that's sitting there.
- 10:23She has these big, giant, wide brimmed glasses.
- 10:26She has like those, the, the bead things that kind of like go up and around her, her head
- 10:32to like hold her glasses so she could like lower the glasses and still kind of like
- 10:35hangs from her, from her ears.
- 10:36I don't know what those are called, but they're very interesting.
- 10:39Anyway, she, her glasses are down just enough so that she can look over them as you all step
- 10:44in and she's like, can I help you all?
- 10:47Yes.
- 10:48Looking for a manly radical.
- 10:50You're here to see radicals.
- 10:52Are you here about the, she pauses for a moment.
- 10:55She says, extra curricular work or are you here for the docs?
- 11:00For the docs.
- 11:03Understood.
- 11:04He's finishing.
- 11:05Wait, hang on.
- 11:06No, you said it.
- 11:07I'm not going to make you that trade.
- 11:09He, he, no, I don't want him to think of you.
- 11:11Please, please take a seat if you would.
- 11:14And she points over, there's just like a handful of chairs.
- 11:16It's like a reception office.
- 11:18Okay.
- 11:19Thank you.
- 11:20Thank you.
- 11:21Ert and Bernie, Radicus, we'll see you now.
- 11:23And you see these two individuals that were over also sitting in, amidst the reception area.
- 11:29One is a gnome and the other is a gnome.
- 11:36They're both gnomes and they both stand up and you hear, they have this sack that they're holding and you hear as they sit up, it almost sounds like bones jumbling around in there.
- 11:47And they confidently strut inside the office.
- 11:51There's sort of like a curtain.
- 11:53It's less of a door and more of a curtain that separates this office from the reception room.
- 11:57They go past the curtain, you get a glimpse inside.
- 12:00You just see a very large man in a vest that like doesn't really hold itself together by its buttons.
- 12:06Like it's almost popping out.
- 12:07I'm sitting behind a large wooden desk and as the curtain closes, that visage disappears, but you can kind of still hear what's going on inside the office here.
- 12:15Oh, well, I see you brought me some bones.
- 12:19Please, if I may take a look.
- 12:22Oh yeah, of course, sir.
- 12:24And you hear a jingle-er jumbling of the bones in that bag and you hear them kind of being dumped out and he says, "Yes, I see, I see."
- 12:34I have one important question for all of you.
- 12:38Oh, well, you see, sir, they are magical.
- 12:40Yes, yes, they are from a magical.
- 12:41Well, that's not the question I was going to ask.
- 12:44In fact, I was going to ask if you think I'm stupid.
- 12:49What?
- 12:50What do you mean, sir?
- 12:51You do think I'm stupid.
- 12:53And you hear what sounds like something getting slammed against the desk and it shatters and it kind of sounds like pottery, like broken pottery.
- 13:03He says, "These aren't real bones.
- 13:06I know it.
- 13:07You know it.
- 13:08And what you now know is that you have wasted my time and I do not appreciate having my time wasted."
- 13:19Oh, well, sir, okay, look, all right, we messed up a weekend.
- 13:22And before they can finish their sentence, you hear what sounds like a jutting of wood and then all of a sudden,
- 13:28you hear the voices scream as they sort of trail off from inside the room.
- 13:34You hear not quite the screams disappear before you hear a "ooh."
- 13:38And you swear you start to hear what sounds like the sound of squeaking and it grows and it grows, not in loudness so much as numbers.
- 13:51And then you hear the very soft, subtle screams just barely audible over top the sounds of the squeaking.
- 13:59And it lasts for a couple of minutes before it all goes silent.
- 14:04And as it does, the secretary looks over her glasses and she says, "Raticus, we'll see you now."
- 14:14All right, let's go.
- 14:16All right, you all stand up and you head inside the curtain.
- 14:21And as I mentioned, you see the same scene that you saw before, right?
- 14:24It's a carpeted floor.
- 14:26There's a big wooden desk right in the middle of it.
- 14:28There's a couple of bookshelves here and there.
- 14:30Raticus is a very large man.
- 14:33He's a human male.
- 14:34He's got big old mutton chops coming down.
- 14:36Like I said, he's got a vest that's like barely holding on to his very large gut.
- 14:41He says, "Oh, gentlemen, I see you here on dock business.
- 14:45How can I help you?
- 14:47Did you just bring your ship in?
- 14:49Need to unload your goods?
- 14:50Did you need to take off?
- 14:52I don't recognize you, so I'm guessing it's not that.
- 14:55That matter."
- 14:56Does anybody have like a stomp or something like that?
- 14:59Or a slow down or like that?
- 15:02Done.
- 15:03Would you put them to sleep?
- 15:05I mean, I can distract them.
- 15:07Can I do detect thoughts on them?
- 15:10Okay.
- 15:11I want to see if he's suspicious or if he really thinks that we're here for dock business.
- 15:16I want to know what he's thinking about with those two people being two gnomes he just obviously killed
- 15:21and why those bones are so important.
- 15:24Okay.
- 15:25As I'm having a normal conversation with him.
- 15:27I'm going to bring up the, "Wow, it was a little loud up here a little bit ago."
- 15:31I was going to say, you kind of want to use your discussion to manipulate what thoughts come to his head.
- 15:36"Wow, it was a little loud up here a little bit ago.
- 15:38What happened to those two fires they saw them go off?
- 15:40They never came back down."
- 15:41Oh, they had some unfortunate need to leave in an otherwise escalated measure.
- 15:51They left through the window.
- 15:53They left through the window?
- 15:54Yes.
- 15:55And he points behind him and there's a curtain window.
- 15:57It's closed.
- 15:58He said, "Yes, I closed it quickly so as not to let..."
- 16:02Is that the fire escape?
- 16:03Yes.
- 16:04It is the emergency fire escape.
- 16:06Should you not be able to, you know, sometimes if there was a fire in here the curtain would start on fire.
- 16:11Then how are you going to get passed out?
- 16:12So we use the window.
- 16:14Or I would.
- 16:15Okay, okay.
- 16:16Yeah.
- 16:17Were they here on the dock business too?
- 16:20Yes.
- 16:22Oh, dock business is tightly here?
- 16:25It's been a little slow lately.
- 16:26How about you?
- 16:28Well, on the dock business, well, you know, whenever the dock business is slow, so is my business.
- 16:34Oh, sure.
- 16:35But the...
- 16:36Managing the docks after all.
- 16:38Do you do anything else on the side to make up for income in the slow time?
- 16:42Hmm.
- 16:43You...
- 16:44I have a food truck or a food cart like travel around the cities.
- 16:50Oh, do you now?
- 16:51Yeah, I see.
- 16:52I loaned out from this guy named Kai, you know.
- 16:55And you know, it's a mobile, you know, Kai.
- 16:58It's pretty cool.
- 16:59Oh, it's an interesting business idea.
- 17:01Seeing through some of the thoughts that he has, you see, when you mention the like sidegigs
- 17:09information, you see the concept of the bones, right?
- 17:13And you see him procuring bones from very sketchy looking individuals.
- 17:18And then you see him putting the bones on what seems like almost like a spell like circle.
- 17:24And you see it glow and the bones disappear and they're replaced by gold pieces.
- 17:30And you when you talk to him about the sizes.
- 17:32This is in his office?
- 17:33This is in his...
- 17:34No, it actually looks like there's a separate room that he seems to be doing that.
- 17:38He's putting the bones on like a circle, like with a symbol, like magically.
- 17:43It like glows.
- 17:45And the...you see like the bones sort of sink into it and then gold pieces come back out.
- 17:51Does he have any ideas?
- 17:54Is he suspicious or do you think we're dumb dock workers?
- 17:57Um, he...yeah, I think there is a note of suspicion because of how confidently and straightforward
- 18:02you said side business.
- 18:04I think he was like, hmm.
- 18:07Well, perchance, how may I ask you how successful is your little mobile meals?
- 18:14Cobb?
- 18:15It's pretty good.
- 18:16The guy has it all set up for you.
- 18:18You basically you pay for...he gets all the supplies and everything.
- 18:22You pay him back and then you give him about a 30 percent.
- 18:25But everything else is yours.
- 18:26Well, all right.
- 18:28Are you interested?
- 18:29Do you want a card?
- 18:30Oh, I think I'm all...I've got a bit of a...I've got some other things going on that require
- 18:35quite a bit of my attention.
- 18:37So I think I'm all right for right now.
- 18:39Oh, like the bones?
- 18:41Uh, pardon me.
- 18:42And I would like to...what about my staff?
- 18:45Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're definitely donking with your staff.
- 18:48How long I'm bonking with my staff?
- 18:5015.
- 18:5115.
- 18:52All right.
- 18:53You roll damage on the staff.
- 18:55And this is obviously non-lethal.
- 18:57Oh, three.
- 18:58Three?
- 18:59Okay.
- 19:00You whack him on the head and he immediately stands up and he says, "Now what a tarnation
- 19:04deal.
- 19:05Thank you.
- 19:06I'm doing it."
- 19:07He does whack him again.
- 19:08Okay.
- 19:09I think we should maybe take turns.
- 19:11What is a dirty 20 giving?
- 19:12Okay.
- 19:13I mean, I hits, yeah?
- 19:14Yeah.
- 19:15Nine.
- 19:16Nine.
- 19:17All right.
- 19:18You whack him again and go, "Oh, oh, oh."
- 19:19What is going on?
- 19:20I'm soaking in.
- 19:21Oh, my brother.
- 19:22No, take...no, I'm...
- 19:23I'm sure.
- 19:24No, stop before you can say anything.
- 19:27Yeah, yeah, I am miss.
- 19:29Did you just swing your fist or just...
- 19:31But as he does one of those things where he tilts out of the way like drunken master
- 19:34style with us, but it's completely unintentional.
- 19:37I want to walk after you.
- 19:39I'm good.
- 19:40I'm a...I am an employee of the state.
- 19:44You cannot treat me this way.
- 19:46The name of the bone is this and where you're getting them from and why you're giving them.
- 19:49Who you're giving them to?
- 19:50Everything.
- 19:51Oh, no.
- 19:52Well, if you wanted to be a part of the bone business, you didn't have to beat me.
- 19:57I don't want to be a part of the bone business.
- 19:59I want to know who your bone business is and everything that's going on.
- 20:03All I know is they promised to get some cloaked figures.
- 20:08No more.
- 20:10That's all I know.
- 20:11That's the thing is, Sonic, is that really all he knows?
- 20:14If you want to delve deeper, yes, he gets to make a wisdom say, but I'll give him disadvantage
- 20:19just because he's a bit out of it.
- 20:21Oh, it wouldn't matter.
- 20:22It's like a five.
- 20:23Yeah.
- 20:24Yeah.
- 20:25So, you see a memory.
- 20:27You see a memory inside of his head.
- 20:29Your eyes are like rolled back in your head.
- 20:34You guys are all like kind of freaking out because he's just like starting to convalesce
- 20:36a little bit.
- 20:38You see Radicus.
- 20:40Three cloaked individuals come into the office, this very office that you're in, approaching
- 20:45Radicus.
- 20:47They don't take their masks off.
- 20:48You never see more than maybe like their nose at best in the light and you hear them start
- 20:54to say, "We need..."
- 20:56Is it for to keep a long story short?
- 20:59They need middle management.
- 21:00They need someone who knows the sketchy figures of the night.
- 21:03They need people that can procure magical bones for them for a project that they are
- 21:08putting together for a ritual.
- 21:10Okay.
- 21:11How often do they come?
- 21:13They don't come at all.
- 21:14I just put the bones on the magic circle.
- 21:17Once I saw them in the office, three of them.
- 21:21They don't come anymore.
- 21:22Well, if you were to quit giving them bones, would they show up?
- 21:26Possibly.
- 21:27Well, they'd find someone else.
- 21:29Well, I guess we need them to show up.
- 21:34That seems like a bad idea, but why do you care so much?
- 21:38Who are you?
- 21:39Wait, what are these figures look like?
- 21:43They're cloaking.
- 21:44He's not cloaked up, white boy.
- 21:47They wear dark purple cloaks.
- 21:50Where do they say they come from?
- 21:52They said they're part of a group known as the Cult of Ascendancy.
- 21:57The Cult of Ascendancy?
- 21:59That's what I said.
- 22:01I said, I said, I said, the Cult of Ascendancy.
- 22:03Would I have anything in this on that?
- 22:05No.
- 22:06I have written that Varus Shadowcaster wears a black cloak.
- 22:11Is that correct?
- 22:12Yes.
- 22:13Okay.
- 22:14Wrong color, not part of the group.
- 22:19He's a limited lord, sir.
- 22:21He couldn't possibly put on another cloak.
- 22:25No, not with a shadow guy like him.
- 22:28Dez is kind of working it out in his head on his chalkboard.
- 22:31I'm like, let's see, there's the Cult of Ascendancy at the top.
- 22:37And they got one guy and this guy.
- 22:39It's a good buy bones for him.
- 22:41And I'm sure that he's got people we know bringing him bones.
- 22:46So he's got people under him.
- 22:49And there are probably also convincing people to bring them bombs.
- 22:52And so there's people on Indesis drawn a pyramid scheme on his chalkboard pointing at
- 22:58the chalkboard and then pointing at the guy we're talking to.
- 23:02It's a bone.
- 23:03It's a bones pyramid scheme.
- 23:05This guy bought into an MLM.
- 23:07What a hurt.
- 23:08Look, I'll buy bones for me.
- 23:10I don't understand.
- 23:11This was a lucrative business.
- 23:13I don't know why you'd assault me.
- 23:15They promised me a vacation.
- 23:17They promised me a Lamborghini, a Mercedes Benz.
- 23:21I want these cloaks figures to show back up.
- 23:24They might not show up at all.
- 23:25They might just find somebody else.
- 23:27I don't want to lose this business.
- 23:29Why you try to take it from me?
- 23:31This business is wrong.
- 23:32You know it's wrong.
- 23:33If filing graves, they're dead.
- 23:36Who cares?
- 23:37Why do you care?
- 23:38Is there some kind of dead protector?
- 23:40Is this his magic circle on his desk?
- 23:42No.
- 23:43He's got a point there.
- 23:44You know, you have a great day's circle.
- 23:46Where is this magic circle you're talking about?
- 23:50It's in the back room.
- 23:52He points towards one of his bookcases.
- 23:55It's not a room.
- 23:56That's a bookcase.
- 23:57Oh, my head.
- 23:58What'd you do with those two dwarves?
- 24:01I what two dwarves?
- 24:03No.
- 24:04No.
- 24:05Two rings.
- 24:06They're fast.
- 24:07What'd you do with the full shortbeam bowl?
- 24:08Yeah, what's wrong with you?
- 24:10What'd you do with?
- 24:12They're gone.
- 24:13They tried to trick me, so they're dead now.
- 24:16Yeah, right there.
- 24:17That's a reason to stop this business.
- 24:19You're killing people.
- 24:20Well, they lied to me.
- 24:22And they lied to a lot of people.
- 24:23You lied to me.
- 24:24They're dirty rotten scroungers.
- 24:26Nobody likes them.
- 24:28They only serve to cause trouble.
- 24:30That's why I hire them.
- 24:31They're the only people willing to do dirty business like digging up grave.
- 24:35Amy, I should throw you out that window.
- 24:37Oh, well, I don't-- I'm--
- 24:41You get a glimpse of his top thoughts.
- 24:44It's him being stuck in that window, unable to fit all the way through.
- 24:50But he doesn't want to say it out loud.
- 24:51Well, you know what?
- 24:52On second thought, you're probably too fat to go through that one.
- 24:55Great.
- 24:56I'll resist.
- 24:58That's strongly.
- 25:00We will do you the courtesy of not lying to you.
- 25:03So let us be very clear.
- 25:05We will hurt you.
- 25:06We did not show us how to get through.
- 25:09Is there a pond room?
- 25:10Can I break it?
- 25:11I think it says that.
- 25:12It says what?
- 25:13We'll hurt you.
- 25:14Oh, he just wants to break something.
- 25:16We will hurt you and the two of us will know.
- 25:19There's one of those ships in a bottle sitting there just patching the sleigh.
- 25:23Or just, no, do you know how hard it is to get those things in there?
- 25:27Be free, ship.
- 25:28Just know right off the wing.
- 25:29You tell him, you tell him.
- 25:31And it lands in the water.
- 25:32It just stays floating.
- 25:35And he's just warming up.
- 25:36So now you better cooperate.
- 25:38You didn't even give me a chance to cooperate.
- 25:41You just started breaking my stuff.
- 25:44Look, I can, I can activate.
- 25:46I can activate the bookcase.
- 25:50Just let me go.
- 25:52How does that bones get to the point?
- 25:54Is it all just magical?
- 25:55Yeah, it just goes through the man.
- 25:56What if one of us was the state on the man?
- 25:58It's a little stood on it.
- 25:59It's not very big.
- 26:00How are even little?
- 26:01I saw bones.
- 26:02So will both work.
- 26:05I wouldn't recommend it, but you can try.
- 26:08I made up bones.
- 26:09Hey, do you have any more of those fake bones left?
- 26:11No, I threw them out the window with those bastard, you know, the stone on it.
- 26:18Now why didn't you just put the gnomes through the portal?
- 26:20Aren't their bones magical?
- 26:22Are you saying that all gnomes is magical?
- 26:25That's racist.
- 26:26I don't know.
- 26:27All right, let me open the bookcase for you.
- 26:30We're just sending through some things on our bones to piss them off and see if they
- 26:34show up.
- 26:35You're like a bunch of kids just flushing random stuff down a toilet just to see what
- 26:41happened.
- 26:42How would it go, folks?
- 26:43It's something good.
- 26:45Free chicken nuggets.
- 26:47Put the rock on it.
- 26:48The beacon will show up where they are and then we can just go there.
- 26:52That's a good idea.
- 26:53And they have to know it because they'll just think it's a rock.
- 26:56They'll actually see it.
- 26:57It's actually a genius.
- 26:58They're eating it with the rock on it.
- 27:03He reaches underneath his desk and he pushes something in between everybody to make a
- 27:09dexterity saving throw.
- 27:1114 15 15.
- 27:30Okay, seven.
- 27:31Oh, 14.
- 27:33Wow.
- 27:34All right.
- 27:35So for those that got less than a 15 or suddenly drops out.
- 27:41Out from below you and you feel yourselves falling, falling a short 10 foot distance.
- 27:47I won't make you take any damage because you fall onto soft loathing of just like sort
- 27:54of torn clothing bits and it stinks really bad down here and it's pitch black.
- 27:59I mean, if you have dark vision, okay, so you're the only one that doesn't keto.
- 28:06No, I do, but I didn't fall down.
- 28:07Oh, you didn't fall down.
- 28:08That's right.
- 28:09It does.
- 28:10It does not.
- 28:11I know.
- 28:12Okay.
- 28:13So the three of you that are down there, you start to hear what sounds like hundreds of
- 28:19squeaking sounds.
- 28:21Oh, and I think it's one of those situations where as you're sitting there, suddenly you
- 28:25feel something furry brush against you, something small.
- 28:29When the other one, I'm in that one.
- 28:31I cast speak with animals.
- 28:33Okay.
- 28:34I hear a hundred voices screeching.
- 28:39Food, food, food, food, food.
- 28:42Okay.
- 28:43I need some help.
- 28:46Thinking about speaking with animals when Des is a mute.
- 28:51Ah, no.
- 28:52You see animals lying laying there, it's just a situation scarier is all you there.
- 28:58Where as if you can mimic sounds so you just turn to your friends and say, what are they
- 29:02saying Des?
- 29:03Eat fresh food.
- 29:04Oh, okay.
- 29:05Okay.
- 29:06Okay.
- 29:07So Des is just going to translate what the ranchers saying.
- 29:11I should do everybody else.
- 29:13And now I wonder, do the rats understand?
- 29:17I think that's how it works.
- 29:20It's two way.
- 29:21Well, they'd understand you.
- 29:22They understand you, but you're speaking right.
- 29:24So you can talk every right, but nothing else.
- 29:27That's funny.
- 29:28Oh man.
- 29:29Didn't think you're this more.
- 29:31I'm going to have you guys roll initiative.
- 29:33What's happening up above?
- 29:35I don't know.
- 29:36We'll find out in a minute.
- 29:37But those of you that are down, roll me initiatives.
- 29:4021.
- 29:4121.
- 29:42So they're roll one and hurry up.
- 29:43Where are we going to be there?
- 29:44I mean, I'm a roll team.
- 29:46They should be killing them.
- 29:47They roll for initiative too.
- 29:48Sure.
- 29:49Yeah.
- 29:50Dirty 20.
- 29:51Mark, you told me what was it?
- 29:5315.
- 29:54Okay.
- 29:55All right.
- 29:56Des, you have a 21.
- 29:57So you're going first.
- 29:58To pull a bag out of or pull a ball out of his bag.
- 30:01A giant weasel.
- 30:03Okay.
- 30:04Here's and joins us.
- 30:05Okay.
- 30:06Sounds good.
- 30:07All right.
- 30:08Is that everything?
- 30:09Yeah.
- 30:10That's all I'm going to do right now.
- 30:12Okay.
- 30:13Sounds good.
- 30:14Okay.
- 30:15Cool.
- 30:16We jump over to Rorick.
- 30:17Is it's like it's so he's got dark vision.
- 30:18Yes.
- 30:19Oh yeah.
- 30:20So you're actually seeing, so you are just seeing a huge mass of rats flooding towards
- 30:26you for lack of better words.
- 30:27And you said it's a 10 foot drop.
- 30:29Yeah.
- 30:30So could Rorick just like run and jump up?
- 30:33Yeah.
- 30:34You can make an attempt.
- 30:35I want to just run once the run and just try to jump and like grab the edge.
- 30:38Okay.
- 30:39Sounds good.
- 30:40It's pretty acrobatic.
- 30:41Sure.
- 30:42Sorry.
- 30:43Can I just go for it?
- 30:44Yeah.
- 30:45Yeah.
- 30:4623.
- 30:47Okay.
- 30:48Yeah.
- 30:49You jumped up and out.
- 30:50Yeah.
- 30:51Like, all right.
- 30:52So now you're standing with everybody else.
- 30:54Keto, you're up next.
- 30:56Keto's just surprised that Rorick made his way out.
- 30:59He's just going to ready an attack, I guess.
- 31:03Against?
- 31:04Are we all up?
- 31:05He does a mo.
- 31:06Oh, okay.
- 31:07He's just got his blade out.
- 31:08He's ready to go.
- 31:09Okay.
- 31:10You know, it's fair.
- 31:11So that leaves Maki and Dez are both still in the pit.
- 31:15All right.
- 31:16Right.
- 31:17Like, here we go.
- 31:18Here we go.
- 31:19For each of you, what's your armor class just to make this easier on me?
- 31:2113, 14.
- 31:22Okay.
- 31:23So we have a 13 and a 14.
- 31:25So each of you take five damage as the rats start to bite onto every feather.
- 31:32Some of them getting in between your feathers.
- 31:35All screeching horribly.
- 31:36And of course, Dez, you're still hearing, "Beast, beast, beast Hollywood.
- 31:41Delicious, you bird.
- 31:43Tastes like chicken."
- 31:44We jump over to sauce.
- 31:46There, about 10 feet down.
- 31:48I'm going to run over and rip those important curtains off the wall.
- 31:52Ah.
- 31:53And throw it and wrap it around my arm.
- 31:55Okay.
- 31:56And hang it down to give him a little bit of something to possibly grab onto.
- 31:58All right.
- 31:59Sounds good.
- 32:00So we'll jump over to Maki real quick.
- 32:02Maki, what would you like to do?
- 32:04Oh, this works out.
- 32:05So Maki will run over to where the curtains are hanging down.
- 32:10He's going to grab a hold of them and try to start climbing up.
- 32:14Okay.
- 32:15Do an athletics check.
- 32:16Do you start pulling yourself up this curtain?
- 32:19Got a 13.
- 32:2013?
- 32:21Okay.
- 32:22You are off the ground.
- 32:23You're going to be rolling as the rats are kind of leaping up towards you.
- 32:26You know, maybe one like manages to just barely grab your bird-like foot for a moment before
- 32:31you kind of can kick it off.
- 32:33You're about halfway or so up the curtain, nearing the top.
- 32:37And then I'm going to use sorcery points to shorten the casting time of a spell to
- 32:43one bonus action.
- 32:45Oh, okay.
- 32:46And I'm going to say, "Scram, you vermin."
- 32:50And I'm going to cast Withering Bloom.
- 32:53What?
- 32:54Around who else?
- 32:55Just, I don't know.
- 32:56Des, Des is still in the hole.
- 32:58You take damage.
- 32:59I like it.
- 33:00You won't have to.
- 33:01Abarth is centered on the most rats around him, so he's probably towards where they were
- 33:06coming from.
- 33:07So it's a 10-foot radius sphere.
- 33:10And each creature of my choice in that area must make a constitution saving throw.
- 33:15Okay.
- 33:16So I will not choose Des.
- 33:17You'll take 2D6 necrotic damage on a failed Saze or half as much on a successful.
- 33:25And what's your save DC?
- 33:26Well, I think it's 15.
- 33:28Oh, okay.
- 33:29Yeah, okay.
- 33:30It's went up a little.
- 33:31Yeah, that sounds right.
- 33:32With that, roll your damage.
- 33:33So literally only one group of rats succeeded out of this massive horde.
- 33:40Five damage.
- 33:41Five damage.
- 33:42So kind of like in Indiana Jones, when he falls into the pit of vipers with the gal,
- 33:48and then he uses the torches to try to keep him back, that's kind of what happens here.
- 33:52You have Des, who's standing there about to get flooded by these rats that are just like
- 33:57a wave just coming over top of him.
- 34:00And then Maki uses this spell, and you actually see them sort of just start to pull back as
- 34:06this massive wave of damage affects all these rats, leaving Des in a nice open space around
- 34:12him where the rats have retreated.
- 34:14Des, you can also choose to use one of your hit dice to regain a number of hit points.
- 34:20Oh, equal to the roll plus my spell cast.
- 34:24Oh, okay.
- 34:25So yeah, I mean, I will.
- 34:27One d10 by two.
- 34:29Roll waves.
- 34:30Hey, I got a four.
- 34:32Nice.
- 34:33Plus whatever I did.
- 34:34I mean, that's the fire damage for a lover.
- 34:35Yeah, I'll just heal.
- 34:36Nice.
- 34:37All right, Des, you're back up.
- 34:40There is now sort of an open space around you where the rats have sort of resigned away
- 34:46from leaving, leaving you kind of almost in a circle of safety for at least a moment.
- 34:52Okay, I mount the giant weasel.
- 34:55I make a sound.
- 34:57This is my main and we leap out of the hole.
- 35:01Okay, sounds good.
- 35:02Do you have the stats for your weasel?
- 35:04I do.
- 35:05Okay, perfect.
- 35:06Yeah, roll, I guess, like a dexterity check with the weasel.
- 35:09Okay.
- 35:10So what does a weasel do with a seven?
- 35:12The seven, it leaps up and just grabs right onto the edge of the curtain and it's just
- 35:18kind of hanging.
- 35:19It's like, it's like standing.
- 35:20So it's like on its back feet are touching the ground, it's in its front like claws have
- 35:26hooked onto the end of the curtain.
- 35:28So I mean, that's one of his strangers that occurred from someone else in his history and
- 35:33he's able to mimic it.
- 35:35Just put a little us up.
- 35:38So dark things about what, well, but does has been a false does his first words.
- 35:47Des has mimicked before.
- 35:49Yeah, it's true.
- 35:50It's been a while.
- 35:51Only in moments of fierce.
- 35:54Roryck, you're up.
- 35:56I grab the curtain.
- 35:58He's grab it with a little sauce and start pulling them out.
- 36:01I already guess both of them are on the curtain.
- 36:04Keto, what do you do?
- 36:05We'll join force.
- 36:06Okay.
- 36:07So Maki, you're halfway.
- 36:09Okay.
- 36:10So you're on.
- 36:11Okay.
- 36:12So the three of you, I would say if anything, you guys are helping.
- 36:15Here's what I'm going to say.
- 36:16You get advantage plus add one to roll to pull them up.
- 36:21So you're doing a athletics check.
- 36:2416.
- 36:25Okay.
- 36:2616.
- 36:27Yeah.
- 36:28That's actually pretty good.
- 36:29Yeah.
- 36:30You start to pull hoisting everybody up.
- 36:31Maki peeks over the side.
- 36:32You pull him up and then you've got the, the half of the weasel has been pulled up so far.
- 36:37So in theory, does he could climb the weasel and get off, but captain, it was down to
- 36:42shit.
- 36:43Well, whatever the case, Maki, now that you were up there, you do still have your turn
- 36:48as well.
- 36:49Come on.
- 36:50Help us.
- 36:51Is does attached to the curtain or the weasel somehow or was he on these old for dear creating
- 36:58the weasel?
- 36:59Yeah.
- 37:00I'm just going to help try to pull up the rest of the curtain.
- 37:02Okay.
- 37:03Do a do an athletics check.
- 37:04That's a five.
- 37:05You wish over and you grab onto the quarter of it.
- 37:08You pull it just like a little like an inch.
- 37:10Just pulling the wrong way.
- 37:12You pulled it back down.
- 37:13This climbs up and is like, all right, this is, this is how you really do is weasel.
- 37:18Come on.
- 37:19Good.
- 37:20And then you have a new euphemism.
- 37:23Pull up his little, uh, 22.
- 37:26Holy.
- 37:27You just grabbed the curtain and just Bob goes to weasel.
- 37:31It's great.
- 37:32All right.
- 37:33He's back up out of the hole.
- 37:35You're all out of breath.
- 37:36Some of you featuring some really ugly looking welts from the bite marks that you've just
- 37:40experienced.
- 37:42You turned in adult C. Radicus.
- 37:44What?
- 37:45Well, for half a second, you see the bookshelf shift back into place.
- 37:51A Desmond like to rip the bookshelf off.
- 37:53Oh, you guys are going to out to initiate right now.
- 37:57So yeah, go for it.
- 37:58I can and wills.
- 38:01Just a strength and go to help them.
- 38:03Yeah.
- 38:04Give him advantage for you guys helping him, please.
- 38:05Cause that was, oh, give me advantage.
- 38:07Yeah.
- 38:08Cause that was a nap one.
- 38:09Oh, let's not do that.
- 38:10Okay.
- 38:11Okay.
- 38:12That's better.
- 38:13That's a 20 wine.
- 38:16Okay.
- 38:17So you all start to run over and help as Des is pulling this wall.
- 38:20Des, yeah, just almost as, as intensely as he pulled that curtain with the weasel on
- 38:25it out.
- 38:26He just pulled, you pull this off and you can see like the hinged, uh, um, track that
- 38:31was thing sits on.
- 38:32It's almost like a barn doors in a sense.
- 38:34And you just rip it right off that track and set it aside.
- 38:37And there's just a brick wall opening, um, into sort of almost a weird tunnel as secret.
- 38:44The door did just close.
- 38:46Do we see him running away?
- 38:47Can I shoot magic missile on him for a guaranteed hit?
- 38:49I would let you because it's magic missile and it's a guaranteed hit.
- 38:53I will let you use for his legs.
- 38:55Perfect.
- 38:56One.
- 38:57He's definitely not going to die.
- 38:59Two, three.
- 39:00Five, six.
- 39:01That's good.
- 39:02Okay.
- 39:03Yeah.
- 39:04Three magic missiles go flying down the tunnel.
- 39:07All three of them smash into his stubby legs.
- 39:09He trips and falls and starts to kind of roll a little bit.
- 39:11And he's like, this works for me.
- 39:13Um, as he's, as he's rolling down the tunnel, everybody running out of here.
- 39:17I'm going to say, uh, Barbara, please hold all my appointments.
- 39:23I'm giving these guests a tour of, uh, the rest of my office facilities.
- 39:29I'm a stud sir.
- 39:31You guys all go chasing after the guy who's rolling like, uh, the blue, the girl who turns
- 39:36into a giant blueberry and will he walk at the truck?
- 39:38Violet.
- 39:39There we go.
- 39:40That's how I was trying to think up.
- 39:41Um, and yeah, you guys catch up to him.
- 39:43It's a little bit of a chore to get him to stop.
- 39:46Cause I mean, he's gotten a good roll.
- 39:48They're smoothing and you grab him and you pull him.
- 39:50It's not that far of a hallway.
- 39:52It's to be fair.
- 39:53It's not that far.
- 39:54In fact, maybe he just slams into the wall and he's like, oh, I'm in so much pain.
- 39:59What do you people want from me?
- 40:01Why couldn't you just let the rats eat you like everyone else?
- 40:05We're not like everyone else.
- 40:08What do you want?
- 40:09I'd like to, uh, drag him to the rat hole and just kind of like hold him over the edge.
- 40:15You roll him like a wheel of cheese back out the tunnel.
- 40:18Will cheeses ironic.
- 40:19Oh yeah.
- 40:20Cause they're right.
- 40:21Or the racks.
- 40:24And you hold them over the hole and in, in your mind, you immediately realize he's not
- 40:28going to fit in his hole.
- 40:30He's that big.
- 40:31Three of us fit in it.
- 40:33But this makes the hole bigger.
- 40:34So can you make this guy smaller?
- 40:38He says, what?
- 40:39Don't you guys keep threatening me before you even give me a chance to tell you anything.
- 40:44What do you want?
- 40:45I told you everything I know.
- 40:47Yeah.
- 40:48So now we're going to kill you.
- 40:49What?
- 40:50No way.
- 40:51No, don't do that.
- 40:52The weasel is gnawing at the edges of the hole to slight method.
- 40:57I can make it smaller.
- 40:59I actually can't.
- 41:00Like I was your camera.
- 41:01Yeah.
- 41:02Oh no.
- 41:03You don't look where you want.
- 41:04I'll give you a, I give you a, I can only give you what the money if you give me bones,
- 41:09but I don't know what you want.
- 41:11Please don't kill me.
- 41:12I would like to use my fireballs on the whole to make it burn some of the whole away.
- 41:19Okay.
- 41:20You're trying to make the whole bigger.
- 41:21That's fine.
- 41:22We can be real.

- 43:20Can you let me go now?
- 43:26The only thing is let's go.
- 43:28And then you already fall into the hole.
- 43:30And you hear it slam heavy into the ground below and kill it.
- 43:36All the way.
- 43:37Okay, so remind me.
- 43:38Did you say you did have dark vision?
- 43:40No.
- 43:41No.
- 43:42Okay, so you don't have dark vision.
- 43:43Des doesn't have dark vision.
- 43:44But the rest of you that have dark vision can see inside of there.
- 43:46I don't want to see.
- 43:47I just fire bolt down there.
- 43:48Okay.
- 43:49Dude, there's a ton of clothes.
- 43:51It would light up.
- 43:52Yeah.
- 43:53Okay.
- 43:54So you fire.
- 43:55So it ignites the whole thing.
- 43:56There's a lot of light down there.
- 43:57And you see him.
- 43:58He reaches into his pocket and he pulls out a vial and he says,
- 44:02"One last go."
- 44:04And he downs the vial.
- 44:06Oh, that's the horror.
- 44:07And he kind of just like his eyes kind of roll back as the swarm of rats just overtakes
- 44:12him.
- 44:13And then like step out the fire as they rush in.
- 44:16There's still fire kind of going on underneath.
- 44:18So then it's just this horrible, horrible disturbing mess of rats eating a man as everyone's being
- 44:24burned alive down there.
- 44:25Hey, hey, Barbara.
- 44:26I'm going to take the rest of the week off.
- 44:29Understood, sir.
- 44:30Barbara also increased the wages of all the nighttime dock workers.
- 44:3510%.
- 44:36Can do, sir.
- 44:37I'm examining this magic.
- 44:39I could do some good.
- 44:40Portal.
- 44:41Yeah.
- 44:42I'm going to go down and you guys can check out the magical sigil that is on this sort
- 44:48of like stone block table.
- 44:50There's a couple of oddball things.
- 44:52I think there's a skull.
- 44:54There's, you know, the classic very like culty feel things.
- 44:59A lot of candles.
- 45:00A lot of candles.
- 45:02There's like a jar with some like really spooky looking flowers coming out of it.
- 45:07There's a little bucket of chalk for--
- 45:09Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 45:10You know.
- 45:11You got to redo a line or something.
- 45:13Yep.
- 45:14Absolutely.
- 45:15And Rourke's standing on it.
- 45:16Yeah.
- 45:17Oh, and he's holding the book.
- 45:19Yeah, I've got the book.
- 45:21It's a catchy tune.
- 45:23Rourke, I don't think that's a good idea.
- 45:25Okay.
- 45:26You want the book?
- 45:27Oh, yeah.
- 45:28Here, I get him the book.
- 45:29All right.
- 45:30You're probably the only one that cares about this thing more than anyone here.
- 45:33This whole book, you flip through all the pages.
- 45:35It's completely blank except for the one page with the incantation right on the center
- 45:40page.
- 45:41It looks like it's handwritten.
- 45:42There you go.
- 45:43I'm ready.
- 45:44I'm not going to read it.
- 45:46Let's go outside and see if we can see the bright light.
- 45:49Is there anything else in this room?
- 45:52This particular room?
- 45:53No, it's pretty bare.
- 45:54Oh, there's more rooms.
- 45:55No, no, no.
- 45:56I meant like there's the office and then there's this.
- 45:58There's a rear?
- 45:59Well, that's about it.
- 46:00Oh.
- 46:01What is the sigil, like a specific thing?
- 46:03Yes.
- 46:04It looks like--
- 46:06I will put the chalk in my mind.
- 46:08I'm going to put the letter Y. And then so where the long line kind of comes down and
- 46:14makes the back end of the Y, sort of the spine of the Y, in the empty space of the circle,
- 46:20there's a moon symbol.
- 46:22Oh, the moon.
- 46:25My biggest enemy.
- 46:26I'm sorry.
- 46:27It's because it's big.
- 46:30The movie with Thomas Hanks?
- 46:32Yeah.
- 46:33That makes sense.
- 46:34Is there anything else that you guys would like to do?
- 46:37Well, I want to look for drugs in his desk.
- 46:40There you go.
- 46:41Yeah.
- 46:42He's in euphoria.
- 46:43You open up his desk and sure enough, you find three vials and they're all labeled for euphoria.
- 46:51And there's a card inside and it's poorly written.
- 46:57It's handwritten.
- 46:58It's a handwritten business card.
- 47:00And it says, for more euphoria.
- 47:06It just says that on one side of the card, then you flip it over and it says rock bottoms
- 47:11club ask for McCool.
- 47:15And with that, we'll end tonight's session.
